To Gommemorate The Meeting of The National Negro Business Men's League At Muskogee, August 14-15 1914. Tulsa School Man Victim Of Little Cupid's Arrow Prof. J. W. Hughes Is "Unexpectedly" Married At Okmulgee Remen Covering The Entire State of Tulsa School M Of Little Prof. J. W. Hughe Married A The social circles of Okmulgee were somewhat startled last Sunday morning when the news had been generally circulated that one of the popular young women of that town had quietly become the wife of Prof. J. W. Hughes of this city Saturday night, June 30th. It was generally known that the couple were to get married but no one expected it to happen when it did. The happy groom left this city Saturday expecting the ceremony to be performed Sunday or Monday. Soon after he arrived at Okmulgee, however, he learned that the bride had planned a surprise for him as well as her friends and he was compelled to make double-quick time to get ready for the ordeal. The wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Artree Snood who are said to be very prosperous citizens of Okmulgee with whom Miss Led-singer made her home. The ceremony was simple and impressive according to the wishes of the contracting parties. To the strains of the wedding march played by Miss H. Ford, the bride entered the pretty parlor on the arm of the groom, and behind them came Miss Woodson and Dr. McKeever, of Tulsa, who was best man. The bride was gowned in a beautiful white chiffon embroidered in blue and pink forget-me-nots and trimmed in pink chiffon, she wore accessories to match. Miss Jessie Woodson was gowned in a beautiful white clinging musson, trimmed in shadow lace. The groom and best man wore the conventional black. The bride and grooms have the sincere wishes of many, many friends for a long, happy sailing on the matrimonial sea. The out-of-town guests included Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Smitherman of Tulsa, (editor of the Tulsa Star), Prof. Wood of the city schools and Dr. McKeever. The bride, Miss Nettie A. Ledsinger, was formerly a teacher in the city school at Okmulgee, and is a very popular lady there with old and young. For seven years she has taught school there until the close of the school last month. Miss Ledsinger was born in Byersburg, Tennessee and after graduating from the public schools there attended the old Fisk University. She has given nine years of her life to school work, one year at her home town, two years in North Carolina, and the remaining seven years at Okmulgee. Prof. Hughes is principal of the Douglass school of this city and has held the position with credit for three years. He is a heavy tax payer of Tulsa and has been instrumental in bringing the East End to its present status. When he came here four years ago he went into the grocery business with O. W. Gurley, and one year later was elected principal of the colored school here. He is a man of high ideals and a true race man. He owns a number of rent houses in this city which brings him a nice in the local Business Men's League. As SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY JUNE 6, 1914 MRS. J. W. HUGHES (The newly wed) come and has a snug little bank account. Prof. Hughes is also president of an educator he has a splendid reputation and is well thought of by all the state teachers who know him. At this time he is one of the conductors of the normal at Muskogee, which for several years has held the reputation of being one of the best institutions of its kind in the state. At the last annual meeting of the N. E. District Teachers association which met in this city last fall Prof. Hughes was elected president. It was while attending a teachers association about three years ago that little Dan Cupid brought this couple together and since that time Prof. Hughes has been a frequent visitor at Okmulgee. He was a persistent woo r, an ardent lover and possessed with these qualities, so essential to a successful lov r, he soon won his way into the heart of the one girl in all the world, etc. It was not long after they met before they were engaged but this secret was guarded very carefully by both parties as long as it was practical under the circumstances for them to guard it. But it was known in Tulsa and also in Okmulgee more than a year ago that the two would get married "some time soon." Whether this was a mere suspicion on the part of inquisitive friends or was divulged by the lovers themselves is not thoroughly clear. The bride and groom came to Tulsa Sunday afternoon. After the summer normal they will be at home to friends in Tulsa. Cornered. "That chauffeur was a great deal pointment." "I thought he would be." "But you gave him a letter of recommendation." "Of course. And I advise you to do the same. It's the only way to get him to go peaceably." M. Elliott Bros. Will Open Next Week The Elliott brothers of Muskogee, will open their branch store in this city next Wednesday, June 10, in the new Woods building on North Greenwood, provided the workmen get through with the building in time. This store promises to be one of the best equipped high class stores ever opened in Tulsa. Ten thousand dollars worth of the newest, best, nobbiest, up-to-date, the very latest in men's and women's ready-to-wear, hats, shoes, etc., will be put on display on the day of the opening, and the big show windows, arranged and decorated by expert Negro salesmen with a touch of artistic cunningness will be a revelation to the window shoppers of the East End and an inspiration to the shoppers who seek the best for their money. In a letter to the editor of The Star, Mr. T. J. Elliott, president of the State League who is also head of the Elliott Bros., speaking of the quality of the goods he is about to present to the people of Tulsa said in part: "I am coming strong with a stock of goods that neither you nor any of the people of Fu'sa need be ashamed off. Not cheap goods, not the ordinary 'junk,' but to follow out our reputation of strictly clean and high class merchandise." For a number of years Mr. Elliott has successfully conducted a store in Muskogee, carrying a stock of men's and ladies' ready-to-wear, which ranks with the leading stores of that city or any other city in the country. Tulsa is to be congratulated for having secured such enterprising business men as these, and Mr. Elliott is to be complimented for displaying such good judgment in opening a branch store in this city.

Roberts, of This City, Is Now Full Fledgdd Married Man OKMULGEE, June 5.—A very pretty church wedding was solemnized Sunday morning at 9:30 when Miss Audia Hoard of this city and Attorney J. H. Roberts of Tulsa were made man and wife. Miss Hallie Ford played the familiar strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march and down the aisle came Miss Dolly Simmons, brides- Continued on page 5 "MOST USEFUL CITIZEN" DEAD JACOB A. RIIS WAS WIDELY KNOWN AS SETTLEMENT WORKER AND WRITER. BEGAN LIFE AS IMMIGRANT BOY Served as a Carpenter's Apprentice, Brickmaker, Coal Miner and Peddler—Achieved Fame as Author and Settlement Worker Barre, Mass.—Jacob August Riis, widely known as an author and settlement worker, died here after a long illness. He was better known in New York than elsewhere, as that city was the scene of his lifework. Rilis was the thirteenth child of a Latin teacher in Ribe, Jutland, Denmark. He was born in 1849. Young Rilis decided to work with his hands and became a carpenter's apprentice. The vocation he had chosen did not prevent him from falling in love with Elizabeth Nielson, daughter of one of the richest men in his native town. But she refused him, and when Rilis was 21 years old, having learned his trade, he embarked for New York with only $40 in his pocket. He spent half the sum for a heavy navy pistol as soon as he landed "to fight Indians and desperadoes." Rilis led a varied career during the following six years. He built miners' huts in a Pennsylvania construction A. H. Jacob A. Rils camp, mined coal, made bricks, drove a team and peddied flatirons and books. At 27 he spent his last cent in reaching New York, hoping to enlist through the French consul in the French army against Germany for the Franco-Prussian war, but his services were refused, and Rils was forced to accept a beginner's place as a reporter for a New York news bureau. He returned to Denmark and married the wirl who had refused him when he was a carpenter's apprentice. This first wife died in 1905 and two years later Rils married Mary Phillips of St. Louis. As a reporter on the New York Tribune and later on the New York Sun, Rlis took up his real work in slum fighting. One of the first of his campaigns was against the impurity of the city water, and it was his fight which finally led to the purchase of the Croton watershed to assure safe drinking water for New York. HUERTA HAS AMERICAN CODE Secret Books Kept by Mexicans When Silliman Was Released. Vera Cruz.—John R. Silliman, United States vice consul at Saltillo, who arrived here, stated that he was confined in the penitentiary at Saltillo for three weeks under orders of the federal general, Maas. Mr. Silliman declined to discuss the taking of the state department code from his office by General Maas, but it is learned from other sources that the books were not returned to him when he was released Earlier, Mr. Silliman refused to discuss incidents in connection with his detention. Tuesday night he issued a brief statement in which he described his journey from Saltillo and pald tribute to H. L. Leccener, who escorted him from Saltillo as the representative of the British vice consul there. He also thanked the Brazilian minister for his efforts which eventually brought about Mr. Silliman's release. Describing briefly his trip from Saltillo to Mexico City, the vice consul said: "The journey from Saltillo to San Luis Potosí, which ordinarily requires twelve hours, took seven days, on account of frequent interruptions by the C. HARRIS & EWING As soon as Senator William J. Stone of Missouri recovers from his present illness he will assume the duties of chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations, succeeding the late Senator Bacon. "TAP LINES" GET PRIVILEGES SUPREME COURT HOLDS AGAINST INTERSTATE COMMERCE BODY Steamship Company Held Liable Only For Salvage Recovered in the Titanic Cases Washington.—Another attempt by the government to separate the ownership of railroads from industrial concerns met with failure when the supreme court held that "tap line" railways, serving lumber camps in the southwest, owned by the same interests, were entitled to share with the trunk lines in through rates. The interstate commerce commission had held this division of the rate was in effect a rebate and ordered it discontinued. In effect the court held that the tap lines were common carriers as to both proprietary and non-proprietary business, and that the ownership did not change their character when hauling commodities produced by a company in common ownership. The recently abolished commerce court held in this case that "the commission was not only without power to forbid any allowance whatever to be made by a trunk line, to a proprietary railway, but it also was without power to prohibit the making of joint rates by the trunk lines and the petitioning tap lines." The decision did not come as a surprise to the interstate commerce commission. Members of the commission were well pleased with that part of the opinion holding that the commission has full power to prevent preferences and discriminations in the fixing of allowances and divisions of rates. Work for Commission. This leaves to the commission the fixing of allowances based upon the character of the service; that is whether it is switching or a line-haul service. It can prevent a milling-in-transit privilege which makes no charge for the haul of the logs, and may require a charge by the tap lines for a log from forest to mill, in addition to the full lumber rate from mill to market. The Titanic Cases. As a result of the decision by the supreme court, practically nothing may be recovered by those who lost relatives or baggage in the Titanic disaster. The court held that liability of the Oceanic Steam Navigation Co. on $13,000,000 in claims against it as owner of the Titanic is limited in suits in the United States by the American limited liability laws of 1851 to the value of salvage recovered and freight and passage money which amounts to about $91,000. The decision in no way affects suits brought against owners in other countries.

STAR PROTOCOL TO BE SIGNED SOON A TEMPORARY COMMISSION GOV. ERNMENT FOR MEXICO MEDIATION PLAN. LANDING OF ARMS FOR HUERTA Carranza Still Refuses to Commit Himself in Regard to Submitting Mexico's Internal Affairs to the Mediators. Washington. — Conferences indicating rapid progress in mediation of the Mexican situation were held by President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and diplomatic officials. Information obtainable here reflected the news from Niagara Falls that essentials of a Mexican pacification plan had been agreed on and that some subjects still were under consideration before a protocol actually could be drafted. Some government officials were so confident of ultimate peace that the reported landing of ammunition for Huerta from German ships at Puerto, Mexico, caused no uneasiness. One official said Huerta probably would never have need for the arms. Officials generally admit the basis of the mediation plan is for the establishment of a commission government comprising a provisional president and four cabinet ministers. To this government Huerta's power would be transferred pending an election. It was admitted here that the basic plan has been communicated to General Carranza. Carranza Stands Pat. It was reported that General Carranza's representatives here had received no word from him in response to exchanges relating to the progress of mediation thus far. It was declared the constitutionalist leader had not receded from his position that he would not consent to mediating Mexico's internal affairs. Some suggestions, however, were said to have come from the constitutionalist chief which were regarded as encouraging. These, it was understood, would be communicated to the South American mediators. Besides the mediation developments the reported landing of ammunition for Huerta from the German steamers Ypiranga and Bavaria at Puerto, Mexico, was discussed most. It generally was conceded that nothing could be done in the matter now and that the shipment could not have been stopped without violating the armistice. Washington.—Ammunition consigned to the Huerta government in Mexico which has been kept in the hold of the German steamer Ypliranga since the American occupation of Vera Cruz, was landed at Puerto Mexico. Consul Canada at Vera Cruz cabled this information to the state department. It was reported from other sources that arms consigned to Huerta had been landed at Puerto Mexico from the German steamer Bavaria. Both steamers belong to the Hamburg-American line. Previously it had been reported the cargo would not be delivered since the United States had protested. United States officials made no effort to prevent the delivery of the ammunition as Puerto Mexico is an open port and the United States has agreed to a suspension of hostilities during the Niagara mediation. The state department made it plain that the only way for the United States to have prevented the delivery would have been to seize the customs house at Puerto Mexico as was done at Vera Cruz. This would have violated the armistice. Funston Seizes the Bavaria. The German steamer Bavaria has been held at Vera Cruz upon her arrival without manifest at Brigadier General Funston's order. The Bavaria recently landed a large quantity of ammunition on Mexican soil. It is estimated that the Bavaria put ashore 10,800,000 rounds of ammunition. The cargo was destined for Vera Cruz, but was diverted to Puerto, Mexico. The captain could not produce a manifest on reaching here declaring it had been taken away from him by the American authorities. Later he admitted landing the cargo which included also 3,000 rolls of barbed wire. The Bavaria's captain is liable to a fine under the Mexican laws and these are the laws that are being administered by the collector of the port. The landing at Puerto, Mexico, of arms consigned for Vera Cruz violates the laws and the absence of a manifest, a second violation. A Surprise. "Why are you so surprised to see me? Did not the maid tell you who it was that had called?" "No, she only said: 'A gentleman.'" RINGWORM ITCHED TERRIBLY 1545 Aisquith St., Baltimore, Md.—"My children were afflicted with what they called ringworm of the scalp contracted from a house-cat they were playing with. The ringworm formed on their scalps about the size of a silver dollar and their hair fell out, leaving a round scale or crust on their scalps. Their hair fell out in round spots. There was terrible itching, and they scratched till the blood came. They were very fretful and could not sleep at night, and they were very cross. "They were treated for several months with no improvement whatsoever. I was told they would never have any hair and would always be bald. Then I began using Cuticura Soap in connection with Cuticura Ointment and the first week I could see the wonderful remedies were doing all they were claimed to do and in six weeks' time they were entirely cured. They all have a beautiful growth of hair." (Signed) Mrs. Sadie Pollock, Jan. 1, 1913. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address postcard "Cuticura, Dept. L, Boston."—Adv. His Brand of Religion. "Brother Philander," said I to our head deacon the other day, "I have been watching Brother Sly for a while and I am free to confess that I can't quite understand his brand of religion. He seems different some days than others." "Yes," replied Old Philander with one of his knowing smiles, "I know what you mean. I will tell you about Sly and his religion. Now, on Sunday he doesn't allow the neighbors to interfere with his devotions. On week days he doesn't allow his devotions or his religion to interfere in his dealings with his neighbors. I might put it a little plainer. The Lord is safe all the time. The neighbors are safe only on Sunday." Philander's knowledge of church history is so fine that it keeps down all dissension, and we regularly re-elect him unanimously as treasurer and boss deacon.—Kansas City Star Tough on the Bears. Some time ago Walter Shaw, known as one of Gardiner's most persistent wags, wrote a letter to the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It was deplorable, he said, the way the government men in charge of the Yellowstone park treated the wild animals. Their cruelty was absolutely barbaric. Just to cite one instance, he said, these scoundrels did not give the poor bears anything to eat during the entire winter, when the whole park is blanketed with snow. The society immediately started an investigation, beginning at the office of the secretary of the interior. Such cruelty must be stopped. It pressed its investigation until some friendly naturalist told them that bears hibernate all winter. HER MOTHER-IN-LAW Proved a Wise, Good Friend. A young woman out in Ia. found a wise, good friend in her mother-in-law, jokes notwithstanding. She writes: "I was greatly troubled with my stomach, complexion was blotchy and yellow. After meals I often suffered sharp pains and would have to lie down. My mother often told me it was the coffee I drank at meals. But when I'd quit coffee I'd have a severe headache. "While visiting my mother-in-law I remarked that she always made such good coffee, and asked her to tell me how. She laughed and told me it was easy to make good 'coffee' when you use Postum. "I began to use Postum as soon as I got home, and now we have the same good 'coffee' (Postum) every day, and I have no more trouble. Indigestion is a thing of the past, and my complexion has cleared up beautifully. "My grandmother suffered a great deal with her stomach. Her doctor told her to leave off coffee. She then took tea but that was just as bad. "She finally was induced to try Postum which she has used for over a year. She traveled during the winter over the greater part of Iowa, visiting, something she had not been able to do for years. She says she owes her present good health to Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Postum now comes in two forms: Regular Postum—must be well boiled. 15c and 25o packages. Instant Postum—is a soluble powder. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins. The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same. "There's a Reason" for Postum. —sold by Grocers. FORCED TO EAT CRUSHED ICE And Was Not Even Allowed Privilege of Sitting Up, but Finally Wins Out. Kaplan, La.—Mrs. Casamear Burk-hart, of this town, gives out following for publication: "I feel that I owe my life to Cardul, the woman's tonic. I was married last April, and was in fairly good health. Shortly after marriage my health began to fail, and for three long months I was threatened with serious sickness. I passed most of my time in bed, with a nurse at my bedside. At last, I was told an operation was necessary. I was so weak I could retain nothing on my stomach but crushed ice, and was not even allowed to sit up in bed. A friend of mine advised me to use Cardul, the woman's tonic, and they got a bottle for me, as a last resort. After taking Cardul for one week, I was able to be up in my room. After continual use for two months, I was in perfect health, and could do all of my work without tiring. I take an occasional dose of Cardul and Black-Draught now, to keep my system in good condition. Several of my friends are using Cardul with good results. I am never without it in the house." There's a bottle of Cardul waiting for you at your nearest druggists'. Get it and begin taking today. You will never regret it.—Adv. Mistaken Rald. "They fooled some cops the other evening at a tango dance contest." "How did they fool 'em?" "Told 'em they had better raid the hah as a lot of dips were getting in their work."

STAR Recently there has been organized in Nashville the only negro board of trade in the world, writes Michael Jones in a communication to the Washington Star. It serves as a beacon light and stands as an ideal example of what such an organization means to a community in which there are colored men engaged in business. J. C. Napier, ex-register of the United States treasury, is president of the board, and through his master mind the policies are shaped and carried out. The young and unparalleled organization is demonstrating how indispensable such a body is to the fullest and broadest economic, religious and intellectual development of any town, city or county in which there are a goodly number of colored citizens. Dr. Booker T. Washington, whom the world honors and reveres, who has been invaluable to the progress of his race and who is an undisputed authority on negro life in America, tells us that there are owned, operated and controlled by negroes in America 100 insurance companies, 300 drug stores, 65 banks, 450 newspapers, magazines and periodicals and more than 20,000 other businesses of various kinds. These people are succeeding in business because they are doing what the world wants done. A review of these facts will bring "visions of a better future" to even the most pessimistic of the race. How vivid it is that the Afro-American's problem is one of persistence rather than one of existence—that nothing but success awaits him if he will but have faith, endure for a while and keep courage. It is imperative—and that soon—that he, in a much larger measure, ceases to be employe and becomes employer. Let there come from his midst satraps of trade, kings of finance, lords of industry, railroad wizards, steel czars and merchant princes. Ninety negro millionaires could solve about ninety per cent of the race problem. The American Genetic association foresees a solution of the so-called race problem in the natural increase of the two races as analyzed by Professor Wilcox of the census bureau. Mr. Wilcox says the Negro is steadily losing ground in the South both by immigration of whites and by their own declining birthrate. They are losing still more rapidly in the North. The more rapid increase of the whites is attributed not only to the influx of immigration, but to the fact that in the registration area where vital statistics are available, including three-fifths of the whites and one-fifth of the negroes, the negro death rate exceeds the white by about two-thirds. In the past 30 years the excess in the proportion of negro children has been falling until the present difference between the race is less than one-fourth that of 1880, and will, at the present rate, have disappeared when the next census is taken. This decline in the birthrate is ascribed largely to nepro emigration into the northern cities. The birthrate among negroes in the city is but two-thirds of city whites, whereas in the country it is above the country whites. Besides the fecundity of all races is lower in the North and the negro trend northward is constantly increasing. Most of the licorice root used in America comes from the marshy plains of Turkey and Russia. Discussing the condition of the colored Baptist churches in Chicago, the leading church paper, the Standard, says: "The need of leaders is fundamental. The negro has a social passion for organization. He wants to start something, or belong to something already started. There is scarcely a field of organization within his reach that he has not covered straightforwardly or surreptitiously. Many of these organizations, in the church and out of it, fail. Perhaps more fall than succeed. The failure, however, is not due to the lack of co-operation or interest, but rather to the lack of comprehension and intelligence in working it out. "They are willing to try approved methods, to copy successful organizations, to imitate successful efforts; but these are of little advantage unless they are helped to secure such trained leadership as will put them in possession of the agents and the assets which were the indispensable factors in securing this success. It seems obvious that we can be of real help in training the men and women who are to be, in time, the leaders in congregational life of these churches." Not only is it of vital interest to this whole municipality of Houston that its large negro population should acquire that reasonable intelligence which is the fruit of a good system of public schools and those useful habits of sustained labor which will make them invaluable in the growing industrial enterprises of Houston, but it is of equal interest that the negro population should live on sanitary streets and in sanitary yards and homes and that when stricken with disease they should have access to a well planned and well regulated hospital. Modern economists and statisticians have demonstrated that the financial losses due to preventable illness reach an astounding annual total among those employed in the industrial enterprises of the nation. These statistics apply with force to the colored population of the South where the negro is a large industrial factor. Hence this movement for negro hospital facilities is a timely step in the right direction—a step dictated by an enlightened scientific self interest on part of the good white people as well as by the more unselfish humanitarian and religious motives. To my own people here, I would say, "Seek to measure up to the opportunity presented you in this great city, along all lines, industrial, commercial, educational and religious. Let the colored ministers, physicians, teachers, merchants, lawyers and sturdy laboring people who are the backbone of the race join hands, heart and pocketbooks to help push this negro hospital movement to a successful conclusion. Do your utmost. Sacrifice something for the benefit of the race and the good white people will do their part." —Ed Blackshear, in the Houston Post. H. P. Ewing, a negro farmer of Wyandotte county, Kansas, has evolved a plan that promises well for the betterment of his race. A farmer himself, he believes in the "back to the soil" movement for his people. The outcome of his long cherished plan is the successful launching of the Kaw Valley Truck Farm company, incorporated under the laws of Kansas, with a capital stock of $5,000, divided into 500 shares of $10 value. The company has leased 105 acres just west of Armourdale, has it all under cultivation and is now preparing to market a crop of vegetables of all kinds that will show results of scientific and intensive farming. For 35 years Ewing has been raising crops in Wyandotte county, at one time having 1,000 acres of ground planted wholly to potatoes. From his years of experience he has evolved ideas that not only increase his yield, but enable him to market the best class of farm products. For example, he has found that turnips furnish the best fertilizer for potato ground. "I find for this climate and soil that the Red River Ohio potato is the best seed to plant," he said in describing his methods. "As soon as the crop is harvested I sow the ground to turnips. The best of these I harvest, the balance are plowed under, enriching the soil and resulting in a better grade of potatoes the following year. The best time to market potatoes here is in July and August. Prices are better, as we do not have to compete with the northern grown product." Austria has 74,267 miles of highway. In 1910 the government expended $5,568,290 on roadway maintenance. "Have faith in the white man. He is your friend." Booker T. Washington, the negro educator, offered this advice to members of his race in an address at Atlanta, Ga., before the annual negro Christian students' conference. He declared that notable progress in co-operation between the race had been made in the last decade. The speaker pleaded for the education of his race. "By right living, obeying the laws and showing due deference to every man, you will demonstrate to the world what education makes out of the negro," said Doctor Washington. --- A popular novelty recently introduced in France is a cup so made as to keep tea or coffee hot while the user is reading the morning paper between sips.

This has been a pet scheme of certain "land grafters" for some time. It is a very commendable thing, of course, for the city to purchase ground and spend money improving it for a park for the Colored citizens of Tulsa; but it would be a much more commendable thing for the City Commissioners to spend a few thousand dollars improving the streets and alleys, putting in sewers, etc., and thus improving the sanitary conditions where most Negroes of this city live. Let us have necessary sanitary improvements, then we will the more appreciate the luxury of a city park.

When I first began taking it I was suffering from female troubles for some time and had almost all kinds of aches—pains in lower part of back and in sides, and pressing down pains. I could not sleep and had no appetite. Since I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound the aches and pains are all gone and I feel like a new woman. I cannot praise your medicine too highly."—Mrs. AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa. It is true that nature and a woman's work has produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known. From the roots and herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham, forty years ago, gave to womankind a remedy for their peculiar ills which has proved more efficacious than any other combination of drugs ever compounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is recognized from coast to coast as the standard remedy for woman's ills. In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., are files containing hundreds of thousands of letters from women seeking health—many of them openly state over their own signatures that they have regained their health by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; and in some cases that it has saved them from surgical operations. Constipation Vanishes Forever Prompt Relief—Permanent Cure CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS never fail.

LAWRENCE; 934 LIVES LOST COLLIER STORSTADT CRASHES INTO CANADIAN PACIFIC LINER EMPRESS OF IRELAND DURING A HEAVY NIGHT FOG EMPRESS GOES TO BOTTOM IN FOURTEEN MINUTES TIME Wireless Summons Two Vessels Which Pick Up.433 Drowning, Freezing, Injured Survivors—Few Passengers Among the Saved Explosion Adds to Horror. Rimouski, Quebec—934 persons were suddenly plunged to a watery grave in the darkness of the early morning hours when the Empress of Ireland, a large passenger steamer collided with the collier Storstadt. The collision occurred in the St. Lawrence river and the big steamer sank within twenty minutes. The vessel carried 1,367 people, passengers and crew. The collision occurred shortly after 2 o'clock Friday morning. There were seventy-five first, 206 second, and 504 third class passengers. The vessel sank in nineteen fathoms of water, about 120 feet. Distress signals sent out by the doomed vessel were picked up by the pilot boat, Eureka, and Lady Evelyn, a mail tender, the two rushing to the scene under forced steam pressure. Three hundred and thirty-nine were picked up by the Lady Evelyn and sixty by the Eureka. Thirty-four were rescued by the Storstadt. The collision occurred in the morning when all passengers were asleep, and those saved had barely time to rush to the boats in their night clothes. Their sufferings from exposure were terrible. Twenty-two of the survivors died after they reached Rimouski. Vessel Cut Wide Open The Empress of Ireland was bound from Quebec to Liverpool. When the collier Storstadt struck here she was cut wide open, and the water poured in so rapidly that the vessel began going down immediately. The collision occurred just off Father Point, which village was brought into prominence some years ago when Dr. Crippen, the wife murderer, was caught there. The Collier was bound for Quebec. Immediately after the collision occurred, the wireless telegraph apparatus was put into commission and calls were sent out. They were picked up by the Lady Evelyn and Eureka which were about ten miles away, Passengers and members of the crew rushed for the life boats. They were in them when picked up by the vessels which had rushed to the scene. Among the saved was Captain Kendall of the Empress, the stricken vessel. Of a party of 140 members of the Canadian Salvation Army, only twenty were saved. So quickly did the Empress sink that those fortunate enough to gain the lift boats were dressed in their night clothes. No baggage was saved. Arms and Legs Broken The condition of the survivors was pitiable. Arms and legs of some were broken, and all suffered terribly. When the rescue ships docked here the platform was converted into a hospital and the townspeople brought food and clothing to the aid of the survivors. Twelve bodies lay side by side on the wharf. They were passengers who had made the life boats but were fatally hurt. The wreckage is strewn along the St. Lawrence for a long distance near the spot where the Empress sank. A vast majority of those saved were members of the ship's crew. Besides Captain Kendall, the first and second engineers and the ship's surgeon were saved. The captain was too overcome to give any extended account of the disaster. He sent a wireless message to his line after the vessel struck, saying, "The ship is gone." Only Twenty Women Saved There were only twenty women among the survivors. The vessel after it had been struck listed so badly that it was with great difficulty that any life boats were launched. The Empress was proceeding slowly. The vessel's officers heard the Storstadt's siren but the fog was so dense that the position of the vessel could not be determined. The Storstadt was heavily loaded and lying low in the water. She burst through the Empress' side like it was an egg-shell. When the Empress sailed from Quebec the Salvation Army company sang "God Be With You 'Till We Meet Again." Only a few of these people were saved. The Empress was valued at $2,000,000 and the cargo at $250,000. The ship and cargo were fully insured. At low tide her funnels may be seen and it is thought she may be raised. The wreck of the vessel in the channel is a menace to navigation. The Empress carried 1,367 passengers, of whom 399 were rescued and landed here. The Storstadt, at first reported to have had more than 300 survivors, sailed for Quebec after landing only a handful of rescued and a number of dead. From partial lists available it is evident that but a sprinkling of the first cabin passengers were saved. Only three names of those in cabins appeared in the preliminary lists of rescued. The stricken vessel sank as if she was lead. An explosion, apparently originating in the engine room, hastened the end and those who were able to make their way from the cabins found themselves on a perilously slanting deck. Many leaped and were drowned. Others were fortunate enough to grasp driftwood or were picked up by lifeboats. No Time to Get Clothes The president of the Canadian Pacific railway issued a statement saying the Empress sunk in fourteen minutes. No one aboard had time to seize their belongings, much less to dress. Women suffered most. Only a few were saved, according to the early lists and indications are they lacked strength to combat conditions which confronted them. There was not, as was the case on the Titanic, time for calm deliberation and rigid observance of unwritten rule of the sea. "Women first." When the rescue ships, Eureka and Lady Evelyn, reached the scene shortly before daybreak, they found nine lifeboats from the Empress, all jammed full and many occupants wounded. It was still dark. Wreckage covered the river everywhere. The Storstadt had her bow badly crumpled, was still on the scene picking up the living wherever she could. In one of the lifeboats crouched Captain Kendall, commander of the Empress, dazed and greatly shaken. He leaped from the deck and had been picked up by members of the crew. New York.—That Colorado judges, supreme court justices, its lawyers, its business men, are owned like office boys and controlled by the coal interests were charges made by Judge Ben Lindsay, of Colorado, before the federal commission on industrial relations in session here. Judge Lindsay told of the conditions in the strike zone, and branded as falsehoods testimony given by Major Edward J. Bouton, judge advocate of the military district, who had just preceded him on the stand. Federal troops could now be withdrawn from Colorado without danger, according to testimony given by Major Edward J. Boughton. Major Boughton said he had been sent by Governor Ammons and by his own commanding officer of the Colorado National guard to enlighten public opinion "which has been inflamed by press reports." He was chairman of the military commission appointed by Governor Ammons to investigate the conduct of the National Guard at Ludlow, where the striken tent colony was burned recently.

A Man's Drink A Woman's Drink Everybody's Drink Home Office 420 Olive Street A distinguished member of the English bar was once sojourning at a farm in the West of Scotland. One morning the farmer asked him to go out and have a shot or two at the rabbits, which were very plentiful. The learned lawyer went, and he blazed away for a whole afternoon, but without singing the hair of a rabbit. The farmer and the would-be sportsman returned home, the former silent and disappointed.

Price BLOO INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By O. E. SELLERS, Director of Evening Department The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR JUNE 7 COMING OF THE KINGDOM. LESSON TEXT-Luke 17:20-37. GOLDEN TEXT-"Lo, the Kingdom of God is within you." Luke 17:21. I. The Kingdom Present, vv. 20, 21. The Pharisees held some peculiar ideas about the coming of the kingdom. Contrary to their ideas there are no special outward signs to herald its coming. The word "observation" v. 20, is an astronomical one and suggests that the kingdom was to come in a bodily shape from the sky, a current expectation on the part of the Pharisees. In answer to the boastful Pharisees (v. 20) Jesus plainly told them that he himself is the kingdom, and that that kingdom was in their midst or "among you," see (v. 21) margin. Their question was a flippant one, one of unbelief, and to it Jesus makes a characteristically brief, but clear reply, that partook of the nature of a rebuke. The kingdom would not come with trumpets and drum. They could not say, "Lo here! lo there!" Its coming was not to be spectacular, arresting the attention of some who in turn brought it to the attention of others. The authorized rendering "within you" does not imply that the kingdom already existed in the individual lives of his questioners. Subsequent teaching of Jesus shows that he here refers to another and a final coming of the kingdom, at the time of the final coming of the son of man. What he desired to teach these Pharisees was that the kingdom of which they spoke had already appeared due to the fact of his presence in their midst. The, carping Pharisees withdraw and Jesus speaks openly to his disciples of the days that will come, a time of persecution when they will long for comfort. Prophecy Fulfilled. II. The Visible Son of Man, vv. 22-24. The kingdom in its outward form was rejected by the Jews, John 1:26, 27. In its spiritual form it is now in the hearts of believers (Rom. 14:17), but he who was rejected with contempt will one day be sought after, though in vain, Matt. 23:37-39. During the time of his absence many shall claim to be Christ (v. 23), but we are not to believe such claims. History has abundantly proved and fulfilled this prophecy. When he really comes there will be a sudden publicity (v. 24), that shall flash from one corner to the other of the heavens, Matt. 24:27; then "every eye shall behold him." "So shall the son of man be in his day." This instruction Jesus gives to his disciples. Men shall search for him, a time when he shall not be present as he then was. After the false ones will come a day of revelation when the whole heavens will reveal him and all will know it. Finality of Events. III. The Day of the Son of Man, vv. 25-37. Before that day comes, however, he must suffer and be rejected, but following that rejection men will marry, carry on merchandising and merriment as in the days of Noah and those of Lot. In the days of Noah and of Lot there came a sudden halt in these activities and a judgment of flood and fire, even so "after the same manner shall it be in the day that the son of man is revealed," v. 30. This refers to the finality of events when the kingdom of God comes by way of judgment. Here Jesus sets his seal upon the truthfulness of these two events which preceded his first advent. If they be not true then he is a false teacher. Like as men discredit those events they likewise would set aside his teaching about his second advent. Many claim that verse 31 refers to the destruction of Jerusalem; the context to us clearly disproves any such interpretation. Verses 32 and 33 must be taken together. Summary. Quite emphatically this passage is a teaching on the subject of the coming of the kingdom of God. That kingdom came when Christ came in grace. It will come when he comes in judgment. It is coming constantly between the two advents. Remember his reading of Isaiah's prophecy, Luke 4:18, 19; cf. Isa. 61:1-9. In his first advent he did come to preach the acceptable year, the year of grace. That day is still with us. In his second advent he will proclaim the day of the vengeance of God. He will establish the kingdom, will build the waste places and raise desolations. Today the kingdom of God is among us in power through the presence of Christ by the spirit in the living church. EFFICIENCY OF A FIREFLY Artificial Illuminant Very Poor Second to That of the Natural Organisms. It is sometimes said that if we could arrive at the secret of the firefly—or of the other organisms which produce physiologic light—we should have reached a great economic discovery, because the light has such an extraordinary high efficiency. In other words, all the energy expended in producing it goes to make light, and not heat. The efficiency has been estimated at 96 per cent by Ives and Coblentz, and even higher by Langley and Very. This is the more remarkable when it is considered that the best artificial illuminant has a luminous efficiency of only 4 per cent, and most of them reach only about 1 per cent, the remaining 99 per cent of the energy going to produce heat or other subordinate effects. But even if we discover the means by which the firefly produces its light we should scarcely care to use it in our homes. Professor McDermott in a recent study of the subject observes that while the insect has indeed reached the highest possible radiant efficiency is has only accomplished it at a sacrifice of color that makes the light much worse than the mercury vapor arc. Anything not within a very limited range of yellow and green tones would appear black. OF COURSE HE GOT AWAY Young Man Pulled Off Something Really New, and His Reward Was Adequate. "Please, Mister Jones, can I get off Tuesday?" said the young male em- ploye, only more rapidly. "Which of your relatives is dead?" inquired the boss. "Not any, sir," replied the lad with a politeness which exists only in fiction. "Which of your teeth are you going to have pulled? "Not any, sir," replied the lad, etc. "Which of your sisters is getting married?" "Not any, sir," etc. "The fact is," continued the youth, "I would like to go to the ball game, and, my desire being genuine, I would not hazard any chances by trying to pull a rotten old excuse on a foxy business man. Thank you, sir." Smooth-Faced Wisdom. President Wilson is the first "bare-faced" occupant of the White House since President McKinley. Indeed, these have been the only smooth-faced presidents since the Civil war. The faces of the most conspicuous members of the cabinet are whiskerless, as is the mobile countenance of the speaker of the house. The sensible fashion is especially noticeable in the medical profession, owing to the fact that formerly its members regarded whiskers as an indispensable part of their equipment, on a par with the stethoscope and clinical thermometer and odor of carbolic acid. The idea then was, of course, to look old. Now they try to appear young. Other business and professional men are following the example of the doctors, much to the gratification of the barbers and razor manufacturers. It is not likely that we shall soon again see the day when whiskers cover a multitude of chins. SUCCEEDS IN CANADA An interesting and successful American farmer, Lew Palmer, of Staveley, Alta., passed through the city today. Mr. Palmer came from Duluth, Minn., just ten years ago, and brought with him four cows and three horses—and that was his all. He homesteaded in the Staveley district, and today has 480 acres of land, $3,000 worth of implements, 34 Percheron horses, made $1,000 out of hogs last year, raised 7,000 bushels of wheat, 6,000 bushels of oats, 12 acres of potatoes, and 18 tons of onions. His farm and stock is worth $30,000, and he made it all in ten years.—Exchange.—Advertisement Little Danger. "Do you believe that money has germs on it?" "It may have."

A recent historical exhibit of arc lamps and electricity in Cleveland, O., has brought out a bit of interesting history in connection with the pioneer arc lamp system built by C. F. Brush. The first demonstration of these lamps was made in the public square of Cleveland during the summer of 1876, and afterward in the fall of the same year the apparatus was set up at the centennial exposition at Philadelphia. The exhibit at Cleveland was extensively advertised in the newspapers, and on the evening the demonstration took place thousands of people assembled, most of whom carried pieces of smoked or colored glass to protect their eyes from the arc lamp's rays, which were expected to rival those of the sun.—Electrical World.

The "old master" said recently that nothing would please him better than to see Moran annihilated. It is a rare occurrence when you can get Joe's goat, but the mere mention of Moran's name in our little family pow-wow, riled the big fellow so that he wished he was scheduled to take a crack at him instead of Johnson.
