YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY TRADING WITH THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER. Hon. Jas PRES Inter-State Liter Of Kansas 1910 HON JAS. H. GUY. He above is a likeness of Hon. Jas. Guy, of Topeka, Kansas, one of the most prominent and widely known men in Kansas. Mr. Guy is an attorney in the capital city where he has resided for a number of years and where he enjoys splendid practice. Mr. Guy was born in Ohio and came to Topeka out 18 years ago and entered into the practice of law. He is quite an eloquent campaign and for the past ten years has taken an active part in Kansas politics, always in the interest of the Republican party. He has stumped the state in the interest of the Republican party many times—he is an Original Rosevelt republican—and realizes the Roosevelt idea of government. For four years he was a deputy county attorney of Shawnee county and filled the position with such credit entire satisfaction and Lafadio Hearn's "Japan: An Interpretation," throws some interesting light on the question of trades unions in the empire of the milkado. He says: Let us suppose, for instance, that you wish to have a good house built. As a general rule you will apply to a master carpenter. You cannot select a hire workmen; guild regulations will. You can only make your contract, and the master carpenter, when your plans have been approved, will undertake all the rest—purchase and transport of material; hire of carpenters, plasterers, tilers, matmakers, carpenters, brass workers, stone cutters, backsmiths and glazers. For each master carpenter represents much more than his own craft-guild. He has his clients in every trade related to house-building and house-furnishing and you must not dream of trying to interfere with his claims and privilidences. He builds your house according to Psychology of the Settin' Hen. The hen patiently "sets" only through the overpowering pressure of mystorious creative impulse that masters her restless impulses to be usable scratching and cackling in- stead of working for postity.—Boston Herald. boddershucks. "My experience with these here gilt-tied investment stocks," said Farmer Foddershucks, "is that they fully give up for their name. They're a good cal like gold bricks, the gilt seal entirely confined to 'th' edges." 6TH YEAR. He is a man worthy of the confidence of all. Few men in Kansas enjoy the universal friendship of the people of our great state to the same extent as does Jas. H. Guy and none excel him. Of him the Topeka Capital of Sunday, Jan. 1st., 1905, had the following to say: 'James H. Guy, who was elected president of the Interstate Literary Association of Kansas and the West at the recent annual meeting in Topeka, is a prominent colored attorney in this city. He has figured somewhat in local politics and stands high in the estimation of his acquaintances. The association of which he is now president is a colored organization and has for its members some of the most learned negroes west of the Mississippi river. In addition to being president of the Interstate Literary association Mr. Guy is national organizer of the National Afro-American council. contract, but that is only the beginning of the relation. You have really made with him an agreement which you must not break, without good and sufficient reason, for the rest of your life. Whatever afterward may happen to any part of your house—wall, floor, ceiling, roof, foundation—you must arrange for repairs with him, never with anybody else. Should the roof leak, for instance, you must not send for the nearest tiler or tinsmith; if the plaster cracks, you must not send for a plasterer. "The man who built your house holds himself responsible for its condition, and he is jealous of that responsibility. None but he has the right to send for the plasterer, the roofer, the tinsmith. If you interfere with that right you may have some unpleasant surprises. If you make appeal to the law against that right you will find that you can get no carpenter, tiler or plasterer to work for you at any terms." The tea cigarette has taken the place of the morphine tablet with many women of the smart set in London. It is extremely injurious; within a fortnight twenty victims of the habit were taken to private sanatoriums. Pride and Vanity. The foundation of pride is the wish to respect one's self, whatever others may think; the mainspring of vanity is the craving for the admiration of others, no matter at what cost to one's self-respect—F. Marion Crawford. Sea Cigarettes CONDITION BETTER The Negro Is Showing Marked Improvements In Every Walk of Life The condition of the Negro is much better today than it was a generation ago. Then he had nothing—not even a name. Today he has 160,000 farms, valued at $40,000,000, personal property valued at $200,000,000, 160 drug stores, 9 banks, 13 building and loan associations, 100 insurance and benefit companies, two street railways, an electric line in Jacksouville, Fla., and in all pays taxes on $700,000,000. This is only about one-fifth of what he has really accumulated, for the Negro has learned from the white man that it is no sign of loyalty to put his property at its full taxable value. In education and moral the progress is even greater. At the close of the war the whole race was practically illiterate. It was a rare thing Indeed to find a man who even knew his letters. In 1860 the illiteracy had fallen to 70 per cent, In 1890 to 57.1 per cent and in 1900 to 44.5 per cent. Today there are 37,000 Negro teachers, of which number 28, 000 are regular graduates of higher normal schools, 23 are college presidents. 160 are principals of high schools, and scores are in the higher institutions of the North, and at the present time there are 369 young men and women taking special courses in the universities of Europe. Had any one prophesied such things fifty years ago they would have been put down as a raving maniac. These teachers, together with the ministers and the Negro news pahers that have been prepared for the work by our schools, is the greatest factors for the up-lift of the colored man. No other agency has done so much as these for the development of character But the test is not here. It must be found in " the weightier matters of the law. " What is the Neguo morally today compared with a generation ago? It is affirmed, infinitely better. With this question, the yesterday of Negro and today are far apart. The marriage yow is more sacred The one-room cabin with its attending evils, is passing away, and the Negro woman-the mightier moral factor in the life of her people-is beginning to be some-body She is more respected by men of her own race, and is no longer the compulsory victim for the unliscensced passion of the white man. The woman is the thermometer of the moral life of her people, and the mark which Negro women has reached, under great difficulties and struggles, is an indication of the progress which the race is making. It is true some strange things are said about the Negro. Yester day it was said he could not learn today it is said that, having learned, it has done him harm. In other words, it is said, that crime has increased among the educated Negroes. The facts, however, show just the opposite. The exact figures according to the last census shows that the proposition of the Negro criminals from the illiterate class has been more than 40 per cent greater than the class which had school advantage You ask, "What shall be the aim of the friends of the Negro at the moment?" The answer is apparent. Continue to give him higher ideals for a better life, and stand by him in the struggle He has warranted their faith and confidence. He has done well with the opportunities given him rnd is doing something to help himself. That is gratitude of the best sort. What he needs today is mor al sympathy, which, in his condition a generation ago, he could hardly appreciate. The sympathy must be moral, not necessisarily social. It must be the sympathy of a soul set on fire for righteousness and fair play in a republic like ours, that every man shall have a man,s chance. Stand by him in his rights. Man's Mission Man is a fussy little cuss and hasn't long to stay; he flies arouird and makes a fuss, and then he hikes away. Some men think they are great, and try to tear us jack; but each one meets the same old fate, and trots the same old track. Great Caesar's dead to clay and so is Cicero; and Alexander's gone the way the rest of us must go. The savage, hero, poet, all the men of wealth and worth, into the grave must fall, and crumble back to earth. Then let's not join the mad affray, and struggle like the deuce; and agonize our lives away, for really, what's the use? Let's live and love and sing the while, and work some now and then; and give to every one a smile, and cheer the heart of men. And whether we are crowned with flowers or chilled with winter's snows, with happiness let's fill the hour, ere we turn up our toes.—Ex. Inter-State Literary Meeting. Grand Session The fourteenth annual session of the Interstate Literary Association which was held in Topeka, Kansas, last week was the grandest ever held. After a very successful and intellectual meeting the following officers were elected for 1905=6 President Jas. H. Guy, Topeka 1st. Vice I. F. Bradley, K. C. 2nd Vice Mrs. I. B. Clark Wich. 3rd Vice R. Fulbright, Olathe Rec. Sec. Miss Minta Beck, Topeka, Ass't Miss Nettie Phenix, Kansas City, Cor. Sec Miss Amanda Moore, Kan City, Treasurer J P King, Topeka, Historian Miss Ethel Stafford, Kan City, Executive Committee Prof. I Horton, Chairman A M Wilson, Leavenworth W E Gray, Atchison Mamie Dillard, Lawrence F Martin, Quindaro Prof E J Hawkins, Ft Scott NO 36 OPPORTUNITY. Master of human destinies am I! Fame, love and fortune on my foot- steps wait. Cities and fields I walk; I penetrate deserts and seas remote. And passing by hovel, and mart and palace soon or late, I knock unbidden once at every gate. If sleeping awake; if feasting rise Before I turn away. It is an hour of fate— And they who follow me reach every state mortals desire, And conquer every foe save death. But those who doubt or hesitate, Condemned to failure, penury and woe Seek me in vain and uselessly im- plore; I answer not, and I return no more." IT IS UP TO THE SOUTH. The south can solve all of its problems' easily as follows: Pass just laws, applying equally and exactly alike to every man living within the State's limits; let these laws be rigidly enforced against or in favor of everyone alike; if they want to prohibit ignorant men from voting, very well, but let this apply to all ignorant men, if a property qualification is desired, or payment of taxes, or other such regulation, there is no objection so no favoritism is shown; make it as easy for one man to register as another; furnish similar school priv-transportation facilities and accommodations to all; punish all lynchers with death, whether the one lynched be black or white; call out all the constabulary, if necessary, and all the militia to protect the humblest man in his rights. Do these things and no man will complain and every negro will so love his state and its laws to be ready to surrender his life in their defense—Freesman. =SMOKE= BLUE SEAL =CIGARS= SOLD EVERYWHERE The City council of Tuskegee has invited the president to visit the town of Tuskegee. Will Congressman Heflin be master of ceremonies? If our white friends would turn the energy which is put forth in the south in keeping the negro down, to eliminating the 64 per cent of white illiteracy, we would somewhere in the future have a "New South." Now that pepper is $3 a pound in the Klondike, what do they use to sprinkle on their watermelons? A Chicago woman who stuck a hatpin in a policeman eleven times was fined $7. Virtue is still its own reward. Some banks now disinfect all the money they handle. It is such things as this that give us that tired feeling. A new play, entitled "An Honest Politician," was produced in New York. Realism on the stage is morbund. More than 500 students worked their way through Columbia university last year, without going out on a single strike. There was an explosion in a powder mill at Goes, Ohio, the other day. Things are reported to have gone at a sacrifice. THE SEARCHLIGHT W. N. MILLER, Editor. Entered at the Post Office at Wiehita, Kansas, as Second-Class Mail Matter.

THE NEED OF RACE ENTERPRISE eW have on several occasions called attention to the need of more race enterprise in this growing metropolis among the colored people. Wichita the third city in Kansas, with no grocery store, no meat market, no dry goods store, is too meuh to believe, yet it is a fact. We can see some fruit of our past remarks in the fact that when we began publishing here there was no kind of business among our people at all and today we have a good second hand store conducted by Mr. W. C. Neely at 406 North Main, a good drug store conducted by Mr. Jas. J. Olden at 615 N. Main, and a first class barber shop and bath room conducted by Messrs W. A. Bettis and John E. Lewis at 339 N. Main street. These are very needed additions to the wants of the people of this city, yet we need more and some energetic colord man with strong business ideas should supply them. ```markdown ``` HIGH IDEALS. You can tell the tree by the fruit it bears," so can you judge a man by his ideals. No man is higher than his ideal—thus if a man hae high, lofty ideals you will find a man of worth, integrity, honesty, thrift and push, because his ideals are high. But a man who idealizes the low, mean and degrading things is sure to be an image of his ideals. It is said to be a scientific truth that man lives by ideals.—by placing his whole mind, his whole being in and on some idea or ideal and strives to accomplish or follow his ideal. Man, by nature, is 'prone to err.' Thus it is more easy for man to become wedded to erring ideas or ideals than it is for him to grasp hold of the lofty and more elevating ideas. For this reason it is incumbent on the strong to set proper ideas for the guidance of the weak that they may loose sight of the lower ideas and place their mind on higher things. Father and mother, preachers and teachers all owe it to themselves to keep the mind of the young on those ideas which will give them grander and more noble ideals in life. --- WICHIT TABERNAGLE No. 34, Order of Twelve Meets First and Third Thursday Of Each Month All Daughters In Good Standing Invited Mrs. Mattie Miller, H.

SONG SERVICE The Song Service at the A N E church still retains its features which make it as one of the best At their last meeting Sunday night those present were highly pleased with a splendid programe which had been prepared by Mrs. Thomas Fine the very competent chairman of the prigrame committee The vocal sole by Miss Collia Chapman was recieved with much delight by her hearers—and the recitation by Miss Lillian Jones was one of the special pleasures of the evening but when little Miss Margueritte Sanford took her place at the piano and played a classical selection with rare and pleasing effect the whole audience was taken spell bound. She is by all means a wonderful player and sitting at the instrument her feet dangling from the stool as she touched the keys with such grace and ease as to cause all who witnessed her performance at the piano to wonder in delight. As usual a large crowd was present and all sorely regretted when the hour of adjournment had arrived Survely one misses a treat not to be present every Sunday evening at the Soag Service at the A, M E earh BLEEDING of THE LUNGS Officer Jeff Thompson is confined to his bed at is home suffering form homarrove of the lungs.

NEWS OF THE LABOR WORLD. Items of Interest Gathered from Many Sources. Prof. Charles P. Neill has been appointed commissioner of labor, to succeed Carroll D. Wright. New Orleans has nineteen labor unions whose membership are colored men. They have a combined membership of 11,000. The general headquarters of the Carriage and Wagon Workers' Union are to be removed from New York City to Chicago, and the entire executive board are to be Chicago members. President Moffatt of the United Hatters' union and Vice President James Woods of the Cigarmakers' International union are the fraternal delegates elected by the A. F. of L. to next summer's British trades congress. A report is current that Andrew Carnegie is planning to present to the labor unions of the United States a handsome Hall of Labor, to be erected in New York and modeled along the lines of the Palace of Peace recently presented to The Hague. The boilermakers employed at the Cliff works of the American Locomotive company, in Scranton, Pa., are on strike in sympathy with the strikers of the Erie Railroad boiler shops at Susquehanna, because the American company is repairing Erie engines. The 1900 census gives the number of wageworkers in the United States as 28,285,022, divided as follows: Professional, 1,264,737; trade and transportation, 4,778,233; domestic and personal service, 5,691,746; manufacturing, 7,122,987; agricultural pursuits, 10,438,919. Recent advertisements in Denver, Col., and other Western papers called for 25,000 skilled men in 100 different trades, applicants to agree to work in open shops. This is understood to be a move on the part of the Citizens' alliance of Colorado in its campaign against unionism and the closed shop. There is a movement on foot to have the cigarmakers, garment workers, hatters, shirt waist and laundry workers and boot and shoe workers join hands and each subscribe an equal amount and keep several label agitators on the road, visiting trade unions and other organizations advocating these labels. An act recently passed by the house of representatives of Rhode Island prescribes a fine of $350 to $500, or imprisonment for three to six months, or both, against any employer or corporation attempting to prevent working people from belonging to a labor organization as a condition of new or continued employment. The Outlook contains an article by Slason Thompson on "Violence in Labor Conflicts," which presents some statistics on the loss of life and physical injuries due to this cause. He gives a table by states showing that during the period between Jan. 1, 1902, and June 30, 1904, there were killed in strikes 180 persons, injured 1,651, and arrested 5,533. At a recent conference of the employing printers and representatives of New York Typographical Union, a new wage scale for the job branch was negotiated which gives an increase of $1.50 a week and makes the scale $21. Machine operators were advanced to $23. A proportionate increase in overtime pay was granted to apply also to apprentices in their last year. Chicago Typographical Union. Local No. 16, has offered prizes to its apprentices for the best composition and makeup work. The test consists in printing, without instruction, a business card for a physician, giving residence, office hours, telephone number, etc., and the proofs to be submitted before Jan. 1. Three prizes are offered, as follows: First, $5; second, $3; third, $2. Labor organizations which contributed to the Colorado strike fund have been furnished a statement of the receipts and disbursements of the fund by Secretary W. D. Harwood of the Western Federation of Miners. The donations received from sources outside of the local unions of the federation amounted to $154,699.22. The amount disbursed for nine months ending Sept. 30 is $355,874.72. The General Federation of Trades, the financial organization of Great Britain, seems to be growing very well despite bad industrial conditions. The federation has a membership now of 425,000, with $500,000 in the general treasury, while the affiliated national unions have a total of $9,000,000 in their individual treasuries. At the recent conference Pete Curran was re-elected president, and Isaac Mitchell secretary of the federation. Following the lead of the Telluride operators, it is announced that all the milling plants in the Ouray (Colo.) district will adopt an eight-hour basis. The Ouray mine managers are now making arrangements preparatory to the change. The adoption of the tight-hour in the mills of the latter city are hastened by the fact that mill men were leaving there and going to Telluride to take advantage of the shorter workday now prevailing at that place. An assessment of $1 per man has been laid upon the entire membership of the International Association of Machinists to raise a fund in aid of the members of the organization who are on strike against the Santa Fe Railway Company. The Santa Fe strike, though a comparatively quiet affair, has been one of the most stubbornly contested of labor's recent battles. Only members of the machinist union are on strike, the trainmen and engineers not being involved. Twenty-five independent special order clothing firms of Chicago signed an agreement with the Garment Workers' Union to pay the union scale to their 5,000 employees. All the conditions in force the last year will be observed by the employers until Jan. 1, 1906, and they will use the union label on their products. The unions gaining the agreement have 10,000 other members on strike in forty-three concerns in the National Wholesale Clothing Manufacturers' Association. The American Sheet and Tin Plate company have started thirty-seven tin plate mills. But seven of the 242 mills are now idle. Of the idle mills five are at Sharon, Pa., and two at Martin's Ferry, Ohio. These likely will be going before the end of the week, and for the first time in the history of the company or its predecessor, the American Tin Plate company, every mill will be in full operation. The mills resuming were at Anderson, Ind.; Elwood, Ind.; New Kensington, Pa., and Connellsville, Pa. "The joint trade agreement is the only means of preserving industrial peace and the great corporations of the country must set the pace in such matters." Such was the sentiment voiced by Francis L. Robbins, president of the Pittsburg Coal company, at a recent banquet in Pittsburg. The circumstances under which the declaration was made adds to its significance, because the men to whom it was made were the mine managers, the superintendents and the officials of the great company which Mr. Robbins represents. Presidents Keller of the City Letter Carriers' union and Cunningham of the Rural Letter Carriers' association have been removed from office "for cause" by Postmaster General Wynne. The dismissal is the result of an investigation of charges of insubordination, of being absent from duty without leave, and of violation of the President's order of Jan. 31, 1902, prohibiting individual or organized attempts of government employees to influence legislation or to solicit increase of pay. The matter may finally be brought to the attention of the President. A well-known writer on trade union subjects has been doing some figuring which he used in the following manner: A conservative estimate of the number of organized wage-carners and the amount they earn—and of necessity spend—shows in a truly startling manner the tremendous power they could wield if their wages were always spent after they had given due thought to their best interests. Taking the 2,250,000 members of trade unions, and basing their wages at $1.50 per day for 300 days in the year, we find that this gives them a purchasing strength of $1,012,500,000 per year. This sum—so great that it is difficult and well-nigh impossible to appreciate its influence—if used to pay rent for homes built by union labor and in purchasing the necessities of life, that were manufactured or procured by organized workmen, would soon work a revolution in every industry in the land. United States Consul General P. Dillingham, Auckland, New Zealand, has reported to this government a new system of preventing railroad collisions. He says: "An interesting change has recently been made in the signaling system in New Zealand's railway, which it is thought will make collisions absolutely impossible. For a long time, up to a recent date, what is known as the 'block' system has been generally used, but the 'tablet' system has now been introduced. The essential point in the new system is that no engine driver is allowed to leave a station without a tablet in his possession, and the element of safety rests on the fact that the machines are so made that it is impossible for two of the tablets to be out at the same time. If a driver leaves Auckland for Newmarket with a tablet that tablet has to be deposited in the machine at Newmarket before another tablet is issued allowing a return train to leave that station for Auckland, and the electrical connection between the two stations makes it impossible to extract a tablet from the Auckland machine until the tablet has been put into the machine at Newmarket. It is claimed by railroad experts that under the new system two trains cannot be on the same section at once, so that the danger of collisions is entirely done away with." "I fear," she said, "to love and lose, To have and then to miss; Pale lips unprest were mine to choose Than feel a shadow kiss. "I fear," she said, "for at a breath The threefold cord doth strun. And sure, and hid, lurks cruel death To cut the corn in twain." THE LIGHT OF DAY BY BENJAMIN·F·NAPHEYS (Copyright, 1904, by Daily Story Pub, Co.) The Passageway of the Seven Steps, Chinatown's main thoroughfare, runs from the street into the Court of Supreme Felicity. On its way thither it passes the Court of Honorable Men, where dwell the bachelor laborers, and the Court of Transplanted Wisdom, where the old men come to air their opinions. But Chao Ying stopped at neither of these places; the Court of Supreme Felicity was the family quarter, and there Kiang Yeh was to be found. He turned into the court and went slowly around it, under the latticed balconies of the second-story apartments. Kiang's family lived on an upper floor, but he never dared openly to visit her. He shuddered at his temerity in gazing at her chubby face through the interstices of the lattice. He had often heard Lee Kwi, the storekeeper and banker, and his own father, Chao Hai, the ivory cutter, condemn such practices, and call upon each loyal son to honor the home customs in all things, especially in allowing a parent to select a wife for his son. Aiya, but the foreign way was much the sweeter. Kiang, as well as he, had been born in this land; they had learned much that was foreign. It was hard that they could not meet, and love, and marry, as the fan-quit (foreign devils) did. He remembered a company of players that he looked down upon, along with a band of shouting; peanut-eating foreigners. He understood but a sentence now and then, but one of the woman players was beloved by one of the men, and just before everybody went home the man received her in his arms and kissed her upon the forehead. In such a manner he desired to receive Klang Yeh. He would work for her; he would defend her; nay, more—he would brave his parents, and, stealing her from her home, he would draw the narrow knife and defy even the grim hatchet-men of the Sucy Yep to take her from him. All this he would do if she were willing. She must first be willing. The air castles faded away when he came under the balcony of her family. He struck two blows upon one of the wooden supports, and presently in an upper room he heard her voice: "Honorable mother, in a short time I will finish the task that you have given me. Then, while you rest, I shall go out on the balcony." "Al-ya," exclaimed another voice. You need not speak so loudly. One would think that I stood across the court, gossiping with Loy Foo, instead of reclining here. Go out and welcome Klang Yeh." Who, but she could have thought so quickly of that design to let him know that she heard the signal? Never was there another who could do the like. She must be persuaded to be carried away by him before another learned how wise she was. Then there was his father, beginning to speak of the necessity for grandchildren to carry on ancestral worship. His honorable father would have a go-between arranging a match for him with some stupid smuggled-in woman from the Middle Kingdom; Kiang must be persuaded that very day. Kiang came, and, opening a tiny 八角亭 door on the wall of lattice, she bent a smiling face upon him. "How kind you are to come!" he cited. "Before the night-damps of the miserable court arose and choked me, and I toothed in darkness. But now, O. Light of Day, how changed is all!" The girl tossed down a copper. "Take it wandering player," she said. , "and fearlessly; chant sing, they victory, thy sting?" -K. M. FT OF DAY "and sing again. Sing sweetly for it; it is the last I have of the coins of home." "It is not a coin of our home, pearly one," said Chao. "I have them; they are round silver yen. I have many of them—over four hundred. A wise one can do much with four hundred yen." "One could almost become a banker with so great a sum." "True, but I shall be a merchant. My store shall be in this court, and I shall sell tea and silk. My honorable father, too, shall supply me with carved jade and ivory. Every article shall have two prices—the larger for the fan-qui and the smaller for the cousins." "And when I come," asked the girl, mockingly, "which price shall be mine? I am a native-born—I am a fan-qui." "Sometimes you are very like them, Light of Day. When I was smaller 13 "Wait, Light of Day," Chao pleaded, and went to their temple one of their women taught me. She, being of frail build, had a certain man to come with her, to carry a small book that she used. She mocked him, Kiang Yeh, as you mock me; but they were married." Kiang stamped her slipper-shod foot. "You do me no honor in comparing us," she cried. "I am not such a shameless one; I follow the customs of the Middle Kingdom, and bow to the will of my honorable parents, as all should do. I shall go in now, Chao Ying." "Wait, Light of Day," Chao pleaded, "I have something to tell you. Do not plunge the court into darkness yet." Kiang's slipper was upon the threshold; she hesitated, and then came back to the opening in the lattice. "Speak quickly," she said. "I should not have come out to you to-day; I am troubled at heart because of it, for since this morning I have been a promised woman." "What devil has dared to send a gobetween to your father? He shall never live to receive you as his wife!" Kiang's face smiled serenely down upon him. "You are a man of violence, Chao Ying," she said, "and Lee Kwi must be spoken to concerning you. I shall be a wife to this man, and, when the witnesses are assembled, and he and I sit down side by side for the first time, I shall contrive to have his robe of ceremony below mine, so that through life I shall be the ruler." "You agree to this--you are pleased?" "I am happy over it beyond all happiness, Chao Ying." "There can be no mistake?" Ying asked, anxiously. "The thing is settled?" "It is decided beyond all undoing. The go-between was no less a person than Ming Sang, the scholar, and what he arranges is arranged forever." "Tell me the honorable man's name," he pleaded. "Ai-ya, I shall not harm him, now that I know the thing please you. I wish only to talk with him—to beg him to use you kindly. Tell me the name, Kiang Yeh." "I should not; but we were children together, and the secret shall not be kept from you. He is Chao Ying, son of Chao Hai, the carver of jade and ivory." A door slammed shut above him, and the balcony was empty. Chao, enveloped in a love-cloud of purple and gold, trotted home to "honor" his father, down the Passageway of the Seven Steps. --- LAWS AS TO COST OF LIVING Dr. Edward Everett Hale Discusses Those of Engel. The Rev. Edward Everett Hale, lecturing in Philadelphia on "How to Regulate Expenses" and "How to Dress," said Engel had carefully studied expenses, according to the New York World, and his three laws are: 1. That the greater the income of any person or family, the smaller the relative percentage of the outlay for subsistence. 2. That the percentage of expense for clothing is approximately the same, whatever the income. 3. That the percentage of outlay for lodging, rent, fuel or light is invariably the same, whatever the income. As to the clothing there must be a decent regard for the opinions of mankind along with a determination not to be wholly subservient to them. The cost of clothing to the workman is from 7 per cent to 19 per cent of his income, the average in Massachusetts being 15 per cent. In Germany the average is 18 per cent, and in Illinois 21. Then there is the question of how much of one's income to devote to other people in the social life. That must depend on a person's own consciousness and circumstances. There is also the problem of contributions to charity. Dr. Hale read the principle enunciated by Star King, that for every expenditure in amusements we ought to make a corresponding contribution to the improvement of society and in the interest of the offspring, for "when we do that we have a right to our amusements; otherwise we have no right to them." LETTER MAIL THIEVES FEAR. Business Man Sends Money in Novel Yet Safe Fashion, "I send money by mail every week to my mother in Ohio," said the business man, according to the New York World. "I don't send it by money order or by check, or even by registered post. I just put my bills in an enveloppe along with my letter and send the whole thing by regular mail." "But," urged the sane friend, "you take big risks of having your letter opened somewhere between New York and Ohio and the money pinched." "On the contrary, I take no risk at all." "But hardly a week passes that I don't read of letters being opened by dishonest mail clerks somewhere in the United States and cash stolen." "Not letters sent the way I send mine. I put the money in the letter. Then I write in the lower left-hand corner in red ink: "This envelope contains $20 in two $10 bills numbered — and —." "Not a mail clerk on earth dares to open that envelope. They all take it for a 'trap' and the letter and money are as safe as if their trip was escorted by a regiment of infantry." The Wish of the Small Boy. I wish my clothes were pasted on my back, jes' like a dog's. An' started out, I wouldn't hear: "Oh, Johnny, where's your coat?" Th' fellers of my gang come up an' holler at our gate: "Come on, we're goin' fishin', Jack!" but, gee! I got't wait Till ma has sewed a button on an' stitched a rippin' hem Fore I knit my fishin'-pole an' foller after 'em. One day when me an' Nell was huntin' berries down th' lane Th' hired man rattled by—he had a grain. An' he'd 'taken me along, if Nell jes' hadn't said: "He can't go into town without a hat upon his head." In winter, when th' sleddin' an' th' skatin' comin' in, I never leave th' house but what I'm ordered back ag'm T' bundle up 'in something warm'—or we go to tote A pain of skates an' rubber shoes an' gloves an' overcoat! *munks an' th' bees* Jes 'cause have't sit sit around a-pullin' That won't go on for knotted string, or 'cause it's wet with dew. That's why I wish my clothes were pasted on me, like a dogs. Or like th' bark that's fastened on a pile of hemlock logs; Then we finished t' have a swim or take a doz. I wouldn't have t' wait till I had shed my Sunday clothes. —Alosius Coll, in Buffalo News. "He" Is a Girl. A tired mother with two children, a baby of 2 years that sat on her lap and a bright-eyed boy of perhaps 4, who sat beside her, were trying to enjoy a little luncheon in a restaurant in the business section of the city. Two young ladies entered and sat down at the same table. Seeing the difficulty the woman had in eating lunch and holding her younger child at the same time, one of the young ladies leaned over and said in a propitating tone: "What a sweet little boy! Won't you let me hold him until you finish lunch?" The mother gladly granted the request and was transferring her charge into the arms of the younger woman, when the little boy, with never a smile, raised his voice and exclaimed: "He ain't a boy; he's a little girl!"—Philadelphia Press. Plan to Keep Rats from Ships British authorities are attempting a systematic destruction of rats for the purpose of stamping out certain diseases. To prevent rats from going on board, ship at the great ports tin disks have been placed on the mooring ropes. Snap-shot photographs have been taken of the rats running along the ropes and jumping over the disks to get aboard the ships. Raw Food in the North. The eating of raw fish is by no means confined to the Esquimaux Fairly well smoked salmon, cod and trout are eaten raw by Indians and Canadians alike, and are both palatable and easily digested when cut with a sharp knife into the thinnest possible slices, much as old woodmen like to shave off the chippings of a well smoked but uncooked caribou ham. Rum Changes Tribe. The Nyam-Nyams, of the upper Nile valley, used to be a very harmless, amiable people, whose amusements were to smoke and hold nightly concerts. But rifles and rum changed them, and now a British expedition is marching to punish them for shooting at British "patrols," though what British patrols were doing in the Nyam-Nyam country is not explained. Magnesite In California. Magnesite, which is used in the making of fire brick and other fireproof building materials, has been discovered in large quantities in Santa Clara and Stanislaus counties, California. They are the only known deposits in the United States. Hitherto America has imported magnesite from Greece and Syria. Value of System: A wealthy merchant remarked the other day that "his filter of success had a wrapper marked 'system.'" And he declared that both those who sold goods to him and those who bought of him were so impressed with his show of system that the confidence emanating therefrom was a big capital in itself—Success. New Material for Ships' Decks. A substance called petrolignite is being adopted as a material for the decks of ships. It is prepared from sawdust, mixed with certain minerals, and formed into slabs, under high hydraulic pressure. Its valuable properties are that it is non-inflammable, and is not slippery when wet. Dimples on the Chid. Not one girl in 10,000 has a dimple in her chin. Indeed, this kind of dimple seems to be more frequent in men than in women. It has another peculiarity—namely, that it is permanent, whereas other dimples of the face come and go with changes of expression. "Not Found." A letter arrived at the New York postoffice the other day bearing the following address: "To Any Respectable Lawyer, New York City, New York." The carrier into whose hands it fell for delivery returned it marked in 'blue pencil, "Not found." To Kill Germs in Water. It is not always convenient to sterilize water, and boiling makes it tasteless. In cases where germs are to be destroyed, four drops of tincture of iodine in a half gallon of water, left to stand for a half hour, renders the water harmless. Malicious Personal Questions Manicured Personal Questions. Don't ask personal questions that carry the sting of humiliation, remembering always that any satisfaction derived from saying mean things is obtained at the price of feelings that should be regarded always as sacred. World's Unexplored Regions Outside the polar regions there remains unexplored, it is estimated, about one-fifth of the land surface of the globe. Fifteen years ago the unknown portions were about one-eighth of the earth's total. Still Imperfect "The microphone onables a person to hear a fly walk or a bee sneeze," remarked the observer of events and things, "but it won't tell which way a flea is going to hop next."—Yonkers Statesman. Consumptives Retain Weight It has been found that 70 to 80 per cent of the consumptive patients at one of the Swiss sanatoriums retain for several years the extra weight gained there during several months' treatment. All well-educated Spanish women are taught from their earliest years to handle the sword, and as a result they are noted for their admirable figures and easy walk. In Winchester cathedral there is a door composed of four pieces of iron grille-work, which have the distinction of being the oldest specimens of their kind in Britain. Confidences. If a man's pipe could tell all the meditations it has shared with him they would make his wife's hair stand on end.—New York Press. Prize Smoker. A man won a smoking contest in Paris by keeping a cigar alight for two hours and twenty-nine minutes. Japanese Expression of Disapproval. When a Japanese audience wish to express disapproval of a play, they turn their backs to the stage. Poverty Dethrones Cupid. About 60,000 wedding rings are deposited every year at the municipal pawnshop of Paris. --- Buy your Fresh Meat at the Packing House Meat Market and Save Money.

CELEBRATE OCCASION At Tokio The Occasion is Celebrated by Lantern Procession. JAPS THANK GENERAL NOGI. In Official Quarters in St. Petersburg it is Said That no Tender of Good Offices From a Third Party Would be Accepted. St. Petersburg, Jan. 5.—The people of St. Petersburg have received with composure the news, known to the rest of the world a day earlier, of the fate of Port Arthur. The event had been anticipated and under official direction the minds of the populace were prepared to receive with resignation the announcement of the fact by the publication of dispatches forwarded last week by General Stoessel describing the straits to which the garrison had been reduced. The expectation in some quarters that the surrender of the fortress would be followed at the capital by anti-war demonstrations has not been realized. So far as there has been any expression of feeling it has been for carrying on the war with all the vigor possible. At Tokio the surrender of Port Arthur was celebrated by a lantern procession and a general illumination. The Japanese diet will formally express the thanks of the nation to General Nogi for his conduct of the siege Among the Russian officials there is a feeling that any proposals that may be made must be with the fact in view that in order that peace must be lasting Japan must recognize Russia's right to free transit of its ships through waters of the far east. High Japanese officials declare that there is no probability of advances coming from their government looking toward peace negotiations.

Effort to Get Nan Patterson Out of Jail Has Begun. New York, Jan. 5.—A determined effort to secure the release from the Tombs prison on bail of Nan Patterson, accused of the murder of Caesar Young, was begun today. Following an announcement by Abraham Levy that such was to be taken, a representative of the law firm which acted for Miss Patterson in her recent trial appeared in the supreme court before Judge Greenbaum and succeeded in getting a writ of habeas corpus ordering Warden Flynn of the Tombs to produce Miss Patterson in the court tomorrow. At that time the justice will be asked to fix a reasonable bail for the prisoner's release. District Attorney Jerome has announced that the motion for bail will be opposed. Need More Wires.

Good Samaritan Suffers .for .Eccentricities of Ohio Statutes. "Got a buzzard here?" inquired Charles W. Heyl, deputy game warden, of Mrs. Frank Edgerton of South Sixth street, according to the Columbus, Ohio, correspondent of the New York Herald. "Yes, sir," the woman replied. "Want to sell it?" "No, sir; but you can have it if you want it." "Can I see it?" "Certainly; just come this way, please." And Mrs. Edgerton walked back to the coal shed, where the bird was confined, opened the deor and then walked back to the house. In a moment or two Heyl appeared with the buzzard under his coat. He showed a badge and said: "Tell your husband that I am a game warden and for him to appear before Squire Lakin." A son of Mr. Edgerton, who is an employee in the Panhandle shops, while strolling through the fields, found a ubbuzz with a broken leg. The bird was fed and kindly treated and became a pet, running around the neighborhood as it pleased. When the family went away from the house the buzzard would be confined in the coal shed. An affidavit charges Edgerton with having "in his possession a buzzard not then and there being in captivity prior to May 6, 1902, and not then and there having the permission to do the aforesaid act." HABIT'S CHAIN Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed and Hard to Break An anguished philosopher estimates that the amount of will power necessary to break a life-long habit would, if it could be transformed, lift a weight of many tons. It sometimes requires a higher degree of heroism to break the chains of a pernicious habit than to lead a forlorn hope in a bloody battle. A lady writes from an Indiana town: "From my earliest childhood I was a lover of coffee. Before I was out of my teens I was a miserable dyspeptic, suffering terribly at times with my stomach. "I was convinced that it was coffee that was causing the trouble and yet I could not deny myself a cup for breakfast. At the age of 36 I was in very poor health, indeed. My sister told me I was in danger of becoming a coffee drunkard. "But I never could give up drinking coffee for breakfast although it kept we constantly ill, until I tried Postum. I learned to make it properly according to directions, and now we can hardly do without Postum for breakfast, and care nothing at all for coffee. "I am no longer troubled with dyspersha, do not have spells of suffering with my stomach that used to trouble me so when I drank coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The tall, handsome, myriad-minded Goethe wrought at his tasks till he was nearly 83 years old. He produced the first part of his masterpiece, "Faust," at 57, says the Saturday Evening Post, the second part when 80 years old and wrote some of his most beautiful poems at 75. Six of our foremost American poets—and all but one in quantity as well as in quality of verse—Bryant, Whittier, Longfellow, Lowell, Holmes and Emerson—lived to ages varying from 75 to 85, and were productive to the last. Dr. Holmes wrote in his eighty-fifth year that "time does not threaten the old man so often with the scythe as with the sandbag," yet he wrote brilliant verse for special occasions almost to the end. Theodore Mommsen, the historian, a man of almost insignificant stature and emaciated frame, manifested in his eighty-sixth and last year the energy of a man in middle life. The earl of Dundonald, though he was always in hot water and his whole life was a series of quarrels—though he performed some of the most dare-devil feats recorded in the history of naval warfare, winning many brilliant victories against enormous odds—lived to 85 and wrote his history of the liberation of Peru, Chile and Brazil and "The Autobiography of a Seaman," two most vigorous, lucid and dashing works, under the stress of intense physical pain, in the last three years of his life. Sir Charles James Napier, the hero of Scinde, was 60 before he held any great command. He fought and won great battles, governed successfully great provinces and achieved a great name long after that period of life had passed when, according to an antique morality not quite exploded, it behooves a man to lay aside the things of the present life and to prepare his soul for the next.

Kirkland, Ill., Jan. 2nd.—(Special) —Cured of the terrible Rheumatic pains that made him a cripple for years, Mr. Richard R. Greenhon, an old and respected resident of this place is shouting the praises of the remedy that cured him, Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I had the rheumatism in my left limb so that I could not walk over ten to fifteen rods at a time, and that by the use of two canes," Mr. Greenhon says. "I would have to sit or lie down on the ground when I was out trying to walk and the sweat would run down my face, with so much pain. I could not sleep at night for about five or six weeks. "I tried different doctors' medicines, but they were all no good. Then I sent for Dodd's Kidney Pills and almost from the first they brought relief. By the time I had taken fourteen boxes of them my rheumatism was all gone and I can truly say I feel better than I have in the last twenty-five years." On Life's Journey.

Sarah Bernhardt has completed her memoirs. Oddly enough, they make a fat, bulky volume. One of the nicest things about French duels is that even the innocent bystanders don't get hit.

It is to be hoped that the bureau of corporations will not force the beef trust men to the wall. They would steal the wall.

CHURCH SCANDAL INVOLVES PRELATE AND OTHERS OF THE HIGHEST SOCIAL STAN THE. DR. DEV. KTTHET BEDF. TA! 201 REV. DR. INGRAM N.W. IRVINE The charges on which influential clergymen and laymen of the Protestant Episcopal church are trying to bring to trial Right Rev. Ethelbert Talbot, bishop of central Pennsylvania, are in brief as follows: Criminal libel, immorality, false statements, the circulation of a false and malicious and defamatory reports, falsifying, breach of ordination and consecration vows and conduct unbecoming a bishop. In a statement Herbert Noble, a New York lawyer, representing the presenters in the charge against Bishop Talbot, gave an outline of the course to be followed by his clients in the hearing of the case. Mr. Noble charged that Bishop Talbot "has pursued Dr. Irvine relentlessly," and then quoted from a decision of the supreme court of Pennsylvania in a suit brought by Dr. Irvine against Bishop Talbot and Mrs. Elliott to this effect: "Undoubtedly defendants combined to prefer charges against Irvine in the church court and acted to support the charges. They wanted him deposed from the ministry. That they also hated him, and by their course possibly gratified less worthy motives than those which prompt a true Christian to action, is of no moment except insofar as it might have affected their credibility as witnesses before the court which tried him." Mr. Noble denied that Dr. Irvine was deposed for immorality, denied that for twenty years he was under the ban of ecclesiastical discipline, and that he was ever suspended or inhibited as charged in the Upjohn letter. Referring to a statement in the letter that eight bishops had held charges against Dr. Irvine, Mr. Noble said the presenters disagree with this, and added that Dr. Irvine denies that Bishop Burgess ever made a charge of any kind against him, as alleged according to a copy of the Upjohn letter. It is made clear from the developments that the names of several women will be brought into the case. Mr. Noble says Mrs. Elliott, over whose church standing the whole controversy arose, had been pronounced "excommunicated" by Bishop Talbot "because she had married after having obtained a divorce from her husband on grounds other than adultery." Continuing, Mr. Noble says that having deposed Irvine from office, this bishop wrote on Jan. 25, 1902, the letter complained of to Rev. Dr. Samuel Upjohn, and two years after its date sent a copy of this letter to Rev. Dr. John Fulton. The letter referred to as the letter to Dr. Upjohn is signed by "Ethelbert Talbot," and charged Dr. Irvine with immorality. Irvine Talks of the Case. "Can a bishop or ought a bishop write defamatory letters in secret in order to injure any member of the ministry? This is the question which will be decided at the meeting of the board of inquiry," said Dr. Irvine in discussing the charges which have been made against him. "My reinstatement," continued Dr. Irvine, "is of secondary consideration when contrasted with the above query. Political Ross Left $3,000,000. The late High McLaughlin, so long Democratic boss of Brooklyn, left an estate valued at $3,000,000, which will be equally divided between his widow and his two daughters, Mrs. Laura Roch and Mrs. William Courtenay. Mrs. McLaughlin and William Courtenay have been appointed executors of the estate. Mr. McLaughlin left no will. It was his wish that his wife and children should share his fortune equally. The division will be made by mutual agreement. W. H. MRS·EMMA·D·ELLIOTT Of course I wish to have this unjust deposition removed, but I wish, also, entirely without malice, to be vindicated in the sight of God and my friends." Bishop May Not Be Tried. Bishop May Not Be Fried. Every one of the six men who live at Huntingdon, Pa., and who are published as having signed the presentment against Bishop Ethelbert Talbot, resulting in Bishop Tuttle calling a court of inquiry, repudiates his signature. This vitiates the presentment, as the canons require that at least three of the presenters must live in the diocese of the accused bishop. Not only are signatures repudiated, but two of the leading residents of Huntingdon mentioned as presenters—John Langdon and James Denthorne—are decidedly opposed to having Bishop Talbot placed on trial. In fact, they have much sympathy for Bishop Talbot, although Mr. Langdon at least believes the trouble might have been satisfactorily settled long ago had the bishop co-operated with the vestrymen of St. John's church. Much surprise was expressed by the six men whose names figure as presenters when they saw that they were published as being responsible for having Bishop Talbot threatened with trial before a court of inquiry. Dr. Irvine at Quincy, Ill. After twenty years the contents of the verdict in the diocesan trial of the Rev. Ingram N. W. Irvine, who was then dean of the Cathedral of St. John in Quincy, Ill., has been made public in its entirety, although it had remained pigeonholed during all that time, because of an understanding based on the condition that Irvine would not appeal from the court's decision suspending him from the ministry for one year. The verdict found Irvine guilty of eleven out of twenty specifications which were embraced in the general charges of suggestion of what is false, suppression of truth, intention to deceive, falsification of an official document, falsehood, false swearing and lascivious conduct. The specifications on which he was found guilty covered all of these general charges, and Irvine was suspended from the ministry for one year. He remained for several months afterward in the city, attempted to establish an independent church, and held a few meetings in the opera house, Ancient Forks. A London jeweler has made a collection of ancient forks used in England, which show some little known facts about the table manners of a few centuries ago. The forks, which are of solid silver, date from the sixteenth century. In many cases the designs in all this time have scarcely varied in any detail, and the forks look like those which might be bought to-day. The old forks were a great luxury in their time and were only used by the aristocracy. performed a couple of marriages, and other priestly functions in defiance of the decision of the diocesan court, but finally gave up and went East. The most serious charge against Irvine was made by Miss Maria W. Seabody, a young woman with whose family he had become acquainted in Long Island City, where Irvine was once connected with St. James' church. On Aug. 25, 1884, she was married to J. J. Miller, organist of the Cathedral of St. John in Quincy, Ill., and two weeks later told her husband of Irvine's alleged conduct toward her while in his home. Miller caused his wife to write a statement to the bishop, and this, coupled with other alleged reasons, caused him to ask Irvine to leave the ministry. Irvine refused and the trial followed. At the trial Mrs. Miller testified at length. The verdict of the diocesan court found the following on the specification relative to alleged "lascivious conduct, lustful actions, and attempts," covering a period from May 1, 1883, to July, 1884: "Guilty as charged." Mrs. Ellott Defies Her Enemies "Bishop Talbot is a good, honorable man and I am his friend. I want the world to know the truth and nothing but the truth. I shall be pleased if the newspapers will contradict the cruel things that have been published about my relations with the bishop, and will show, in his true light, the man who has made such outrageous insinuations." Mrs. Emma Desha Elliott in her home at Huntingdon, Pa., made this statement in reference to her connection with the controversy between Bishop Ethelbert Talbot and the Rev. Dr. I. N. W. Irvine. "I want to defend the bishop," she continued. "I am only a woman, and an old one at that. Why. I even stood as godmother to the daughter of the man who is now making my life one of misery. I have three grown-up sons and they and the good people of Huntingdon are ready to defend my honor. "Could one innocent of such untruths as have been laid at my door have a better and grander defense? My husband is with me. I've everything to make me strong and brave, but when scandal knocks at one's door it seems as if the world were trembling." Career of Mrs. Elliott. Mrs. Emma D. Elliott, one of the central figures in the Talbot-Irvine sensation, has had a varied social and matrimonial career. She is 60 years of age, is the daughter of Gen. Desha of Alabama and a half-sister of Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont. Thirty-five years ago she was an acknowledged belle of Newport and other society centers, and later as the brilliant Mrs. Cochrane she reigned in the high society of Philadelphia. Still later, as Mrs. Coolidge, she was a welcome member of the New York exclusive set. It is said that she was divorced from her first two husbands and that later her last husband, Alexander Elliott, was divorced from his first wife. It was this divorce, on the grounds of desertion, that led to the refusal of the communion to Mrs. Elliott by the Rev. I. N. W. Irvine and to the secaland following. Col. Greene Adds to Interests.
