Editing a publication is no joke. If we publish jokes people say we are rattle brained. If we don't we are fossils. If we publish original matter they say we don't give them enough selections. If we give them selections they say we are too lazy to write. If we don't go to church we are heathens and if we do we are hypocrites. If we remain in the office we ought to be out looking of frs news items. If we get out we are not attending to business. If we wear old clothes they will laugh at us. If we wear good clothes they say we have a pull. Now what are we to do? Just a silkly as not some one will say we stole this from an exchange. So we did. HIGH CHARACTER NEGRO'S NEED The address of Bishop Doane, of Albany, N. Y., at Tuskegee Institute, was a gem and will never grow too old or stale to keep before the race. Among other things, Bishop Doane "The white people have the tremendous advantage of centuries of cultivation, of education and of liberty, while yo uare only within the centuhy emerging from illiteracy and bondage and whatever gives us the advantage gives us also opportunity and responsibility, but I am equally clear that the hope of the Negro is in the Negro himself. Lifted above the conditions of ignorance and the circumstances of bondage, a new Negro race is coming and coming to the front in America. The progress is as instructive as it is characteristic. "Hampton began, as the effort of one man, white in soul and nature as he was in complexion—to meet the condition of the freemen, plunged without preparation into the obligations of citizenship. But the result of Hampton is Tuskegee, and the black man, founder and teacher as well as student—is preparing himself for his share and it must be a larger scale in the uplifting of his own race. Just as the hope of what we call foreign missionary work depends for its success upon the training of a native ministry. Africans for Africa and Japanese for Japan, so the hope of the elevation of the black people depends upon the rising from among themselves, not teachers only, but men and women of high character and social influence which they can impart to their fellow men, not a ssubject lessons, but as leaven to raise and quicken the race. "This is the real gift for your hands to give: To go and be a power among your own people, staying with them; not wandering away, living lives that shed light upon the ignorance, and spreading influence through the dullness and the degradation of the neighborhood where you may be, and that influence must make for religion, for righteousness and for reality. "Herein, specifically, it seems to me Tuskegee has justified itself, and made its claim for renewed confidence and increased support. As I read its story, quite beyond its romance, the record of its reality chapter after chapter written by men and women who have been trained here, it tells ho wthey have been penetrated by its spirit and its powr, and given to others what they have gained themselves. What has been wrought out here in these five and twenty years is good enough for a backward look of amazement and thanksgiving. But our faces IN THIS PAPER turn forward as well. We look on. To be fruitful and multiply was not only spoken of the first man and woman, but it is spoken with deeper meaning to such as you are for the production, the perpetuation, the perfection of this higher life, until all Ethiopia, here in the country to which you were transplanted, and in the faraway continent from which you came and which is still dark, till all Ethiopia shall stretch forth hands of service; hands that pray, and hands that give to the God who made you in His image and redeemed you with His blood." Mail Carrier Jimcrowed Mail Carrier Jimcrowed CASE OF MAIL CARRIER ARRESTED WHILE ON DUTY MAY YET BECOME FAMOUS. Conductor and Policeman Who Arrested Colored Mail Carrier Themselves Arrested. The Jim Crow law seems likely to get into the United States courts in one way or another in spite of all that can be done. On the 30th day of June, last, J. Wesley Jones, a colored mail carrier, carrying a heavily laden pouch of mail matter, boarded a Broad Street car and took his seat in that part of the car allotted by the Jim Crow law to smokers only. When requested to move to the section of the car set apart for others, Jones refused to move, whereupon the conductor, Robert Davis, told the colored uniformed mail carrier to consider himself under arrest, and when the car reached the next corner the conductor turned the mail carrier, bag and baggage over to Policeman W. L. Ogilive. The policeman took the colored United States official to the station house, where he was released and the next day Justice Crutchfield heard the case and dismissed Jones. It was thought the matter would end there but along came Mr. John W. Bulla, Postoffice Inspector, and he, somehow felt that the dignity of his department of government had been trampled upon and desired to swear out warrants against the street car conductor and the policeman, but it is said that Judge Waddill advised Commissioner Brady that it would be well enough to let the matter rest, inasmuch as no harm ha dbeen done, and the matter did go by. But Inspector Bulla was not satisfied and he came again to Richmond on Monday and swore out warrants against both Davis and Ogilvie. The warrants were served yesterday afternoon by Marshall Morgan Treat, and the two men weer taken before Commissioner Brady. The commissioner is also clerk of the United States District Court, and yesterday he was too busy in the Virginia Carolina Chemical business to bother with Jim Crow matters, and so he postponed consideration of the case to Friday next at 11 o'clock. The warrant charges both the conductor and the policeman with a violation of Section 3995 of the revised statutes, in that they "obstructed and retarded" a mail carrier while he was carrying the United States mail.—Times-Dispatch, July 11,1906. NEW NEGRO BANK NOW OPEN. 一 Takes It Back Fort Smith, Ark., Friday.—One of the most sensational episodes known to the annals of crime came to light here today, when Mrs. Annie Hartley, a white woman, haunted by her conscience, that she had committed a most heinous crime in swearing away the life o fa human being and sausing the death sentence to be placed upon Govan Beard, a Negro, went before Judge Edmondson and swore that she had lied when she testified that Beard had committed a criminal assault on her. Recanted. Beard was sentenced to be hanged in Little Rock on the 18th for committing the alleged crime. J. A. Atschul, Beard's attorney, came here today to see the woman, who now swears that she went voluntarily to the house where the assault is alleged to have been committed, knowing that it was an assignation house. When the alleged assault was said to have been committed she was living in Helena and seemed to have been upon intimate terms with Beard, who is a barber, and by appointment met in a Negro assignation house. They had some differences, she being a white woman and knowing the feeling that exists between the races, took advantage of the situation and made an alarm. Beard Arrested. Beard was then arrested upon a charge of criminal assault. Feeling beggan to run high, the talk of lynching was heard and the sheriff fearing that an effort would be made to lynch him spirited the prisoner away to Little Rock for safe keeping. Colored Men Active. The colored men seeing the situation, began raising money for his defense. They succeeded in raising over $1,000. A committee was appointed to secure lawyers; the Helena attorneys refused to take the case, whereupon they went to Little Rock. Attornys Employed. After reaching Little Rock, they had a conference with the law firm of J. A. Atschul & Co., who agreed to take the case. On the first trial he was convicted, an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, which affirmed the decision of the lower court. Beard was sentenced to be hanged on the 18 of July. The Woman. Mrs. Hartley figured here sometime ago as a defendant in a suit brought against her for violation of the morality laws. She abandoned her husband for a man named McAble, and went to live with him in a tent on the Poteau river, south of Fort Smith. The were arrested at the instance of the husband and sent to jail to serve out a sentence. At the expiration of the sentence she and McAble went to Little Rock, and nothing more was heard of her until the arrest of Beard. After the conviction of the Negro she returned to Fort Smith and has been living here ever since in such retirement that it was not generally known that she had returned.—Memphis Citizen. M. E. Wood and Dr. J. T. Whittaker are doing a fine business in their drug store in Coffeyville. The Patriach gave a splendid drill Thursday night in Coffeyville. --- NO.18 Recanted. History of the Case.

The northern race riot spirit has again broken out—this time in Indianapolis, Ind., Sunday night when a band of white ruffians assaulted the colored people who were in Riverside park in that city. From all accounts of the affair there was absolutely no provocation on the part of the colored people for the assault and it caught them unawares and entirely by surprise. The colored people, men, women and children were pelted with brick-bats, clubs and stones and several colored people were severely injured. Being on Sunday night they were unarmed and entirely unprepared to meet such an assault. These unprovoked race affairs are getting entirely too frequent and something must be done—and that soon to bring them to an end. Do you owe the Searchlight anything? If you do, pay up.

Dr. Goorge F. Butler Tells How to Eat and How to As- similate, bed ete er ane ee ae a | tatenaent of the Alma Springs Sani- tarium, Alma, Mich., in the October number of “How to Live,” gives some interesting as well as sensible rules for acquiring and keeping health. He says: “Without we eat and drink, we die! The provocative to do both rests | with the appetite, which, in process of time, becomes a very uncertain guide; for the palate will often induce a desire and relish for that which is most mischievous and indigestible. ‘The old saying of ‘eat what you like’ 1s now shunned by everybody of 20 years’ experience. Still, without appe- tte, it is a very difficult affair to sub- sist—for the pleasure depends chiefly upon the relish. The relish may be- come, as has been stated, a vitiated one, but it is quite possible to make the stomach, by a little forbearance and practice, as enamored of what is wholesome and nutritious, as of that which is hurtful and not concoctible.” Again he says: “The delicate should feed carefully, not abundantly; it is not quantity which nourishes, but only that which assimilates.” “Be careful of your digestion” is the keynote of the doctor's argument. He says: “Health in man, as in other animals, depends upon the proper per- formance of all functions. These functions may be shortly said to be three: (1) tissue change; (2) re- moval of waste; (3) supply of new material, For the activity of man, like the heat of the fire by which he cooks his food, is maintained by combustion; and just as the fire may be prevented from burning brightly by improper disposition cf the fuel, or imperfect supply of air, and as it will certainly go out if fresh fuel is not supplied, and may be choked by its own ashes, so man’s activity may be lessened by imperfect tissue change and may be put an end to by an in- | sufficient supply of new material and imperfect removal of waste products. | “We should see to it that free elim- |ination is maintained, for the ashes | must be kept out of the system in or- der to have good health. The skin, kidneys and bowels must do their eliminative work properly. If the bowels occasionally become torpid, try to regulate them with exercise and Proper food, such as fruits, green vegetables, salads, cereals, corn, whole wheat or graham bread, fish, poultry, light soups, ete. Plenty of water is also valuable, and a glass full of cold or hot water the first thing upon ris- ing in the morning will aid much in overcoming constipation. Regular habit, cold baths, and massage are very efficacious. In case the consti- pation does not yield to these hygi- enie measures, some simple, harmless | laxative may be required, such as Cali- fornia Syrup of Figs—a non-irritating preparation of senna in fig syrup. Laxative mineral waters are _bene- ficial In some cases. but not to be em- ployed continually. “Above all be an optimist, keep the heart young. Cultivate kindness, cheerfulness and love, and do not for- get that ‘we shall pass through this world but once.’ Any good thing, | therefore, that we do, or any kind- ness that we show to any human be- ing, let us do it now. Let us not defar it or neglect it, for we shall not pass this way again.” DY THE WAY. Even a stingy person 1s always will Ing to give advice.

Had Been Charged with ‘Treason and Through Forged Documents Exiled to Desert Inland—Cane Fought ‘Twelve Years, Paris, July 12.—Alfred Dreyfus was Thursday completely acquitted of the charges of which he was condemned as a traitor, dismissed from the army and imprisoned on Devil's Island, and regarding which France bas been torn for years by the most bitter po- litical and racial agitation. His vin- dication is two-fold, the supreme court first announcing its decision es- tablishing the entire innocence of the accused man, and the ministry later deciding to present an urgent bill in parliament restoring Dreyfus to the army with advanced rank snd other- wise giving the governments most ample reparation. Wy, 5 bi WW fe faa SA \\\ he Captain Alfred Dreyfus, of the artil- lery, a member of a wealthy Hebrew family of Alsace, where he was bora in 1859, was on October 14, 1894 at- rested on the charge of communica ing French military secrets to a foreign power. Two months later Dreyfus was tried by court martial and found guilty and January 5 ite was publicly degraded and deported to Devils Island, near Cayenne, French Guinea, there apparently to spend the remainder of his life. The friends and relatives of Dreyfus, notably his wife always believed in his innocence ane devoted all their energies to the work of proving that he had been unjustly condemned. Col. Viequart, when he became chief of the intelligence department of the French army in 1895, examined the documents in the proceedings against Dreyfus, atid questioned the correct- hess of the proceedings, and, contin ing his investigations, formed the opinion that the evidence pointed to Major Count Esterhazy as being the guilty man, Picquart determined to see that Justice was done and there ensued a fight to preserve the honur of the French army. Dreyfus, on November 15, 1897, charged Esterhazy with writing the most incriminating document but the latter was acquited by a court martial in the following January. The late Emile Zola warmly espoused the cause of Dreyfus and made serions charges against the French general staff and was condemned to pay 2 heavy fine and suffer imprisonment but the sentence was quashed. Paris, July 14—The swene of tamuls tuous disorder which marked the en- actment Friday of the taw restoring Alfred Dreyfus to the army was fol- lowed by a bloody duel Friday night in which Under Secretary of State Sarraut was dangerously wounded by the sword of M. Pugliesi-Conti, The duel assumed the aspect ot a verita- ble combat between the government and the opposition, as M, Sarraut’s seconds were Ministers Clemenceau and Thomson, while M. Pugliesi-Coa- t's were M, Millevoye and Gen, Jac- quel, who were drawn from the ele- ments which bitterly resist the gov- ernment’s rehabilitation of Dreyfus. Married Her Mother's Murderer.

Professor of Cambridge (Eng.) Uni- versity Tells Some New and Interesting Facts, J. Stanley Gardiner, of Cambridge university, has been exploring the Indian ocean and gives it as his opin- fon that at one time there was land connection between Ceylon and Mad- agascar. But it is in describing the wonders of the deep that his report grows most interesting. “A very con- siderable variety of deep-sea fish was brought up,” he says. “At least halt the number we secured seemed quite new specimens, and, I believe, are not described in any textbook. Some of these had enormous eyes, some only rudimentary eyes, the size of @ pin's head, while some had no eyes at all, “One of the most interesting dis- coverles we made was that floating life 1s exceedingiy abundant at all depths down to about 1,200 fathoms in seas 2,500 fathoms deep. By float- ing life I mean animals which form the food of whales and deep-ocean fish, and which up to the present have been believed to live on or very close to the surface. A variety of enormous squids was fished out as well as jelly fish and gigantic prawns fully six inches long. Some of these latter were blind, while others had huge eyes, but nearly all of them had phosphorescent organs, which would naturally be due to the fact that they live at a depth where al- most total darkness prevails. “The blind varieties had enormous feelers, or tentacles, some of them extending to twice the length of their own bodies. Some forms, such as the water flea, which 1s only about the size of a pin’s head in surface “water, we discovered six or ten times that size in 600 or 700 fathoms.” UTTERLY WORN OUT.

Women utter these words over and over again, but continue to drag along and suffer with aches in the small of the back, pain low down in the side, "bearing-down" pains, nervousness and no ambition for any task. Miss Maude Morris They do not realize that the back is the mainspring of woman's organism, and quickly indicates by aching a diseased condition of the female organs or kidneys, and that the aches and pains will continue until the cause is removed. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been for many years the one and only effective remedy in such cases. It speedily cures female and kidney disorders and restores the female organs to a healthy condition. "I have suffered with female troubles for over two years, suffering intense pain each month, my back ached until it seemed as though it would break, and I felt so weak all over that I did not find strength to attend to my work but to stay in bed a large part of the first two or three days every month. I would have sleepless nights, bad dreams and headaches. All this undermined my health. "We consulted an old family physician, who advised that I try Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

A farmer says: "It was not from liquor or tobacco that for ten years or more I suffered from dyspepsia and stomach trouble, they were caused by the use of coffee until I got so bad I had to give up coffee entirely and almost give up eating. There were times when I could eat only boiled milk and bread and when I went to the field to work I had to take some bread and butter along to give me strength. "I doctored with doctors and took almost everything I could get for my stomach in the way of medicine, but if I got any better it only lasted a little while until I was almost a walking skeleton. "One day I read an ad for Postum and told my wife I would try it, and as to the following facts I will make idafidav before any judge: "I quit coffee entirely and used Postum in its place. I have regained my health entirely and can eat anything that is cooked to eat. I have increased in weight until now I weighed more than I ever did; I have not taken any medicine for my stomach since I began using Postum. Why, I believe Postum will almost digest an iron wedge. "My family would stick to coffee at first, but they saw the effects it had on me, and when they were feeling bad they began to use Postum, one at a time, until now we all use Postum."

PEACE IS IMPOSSIBLE DECLARE THE REVOLUTIONISTS San Salvador, July 18. — Notwithstandin President Cabrera's agreement with the president of Mexico to cease fighting pending peace negotiations in Central America, two sharp engagements have occurred in Salvador just across the Guatemalan border. One was at Platanar and the other at Metapan. The Salvdoreans were victorious in both engagements. Within two hours after Cabrera agreed to suspend hostilities his troops attacked the Salvdorean army at Platanar, only to be defeated by the latter. The fighting at Metapan occurred later. Both Platanar and Metapan are objective points "in the march to Santa Ana, the summer capital of Salvador. Never in the history of the country has there been such a patriotic spirit shown in Salvador as at the present time. Rich and poor serve allike, as shown in the engagement. In the battle Colonel Adelberto Guiralo lost his life. He was a graduate of West Point, and when the war broke out enlisted with thousands of his countrymen. He was about 30 years old and worth half a million dollars in his own right. This is not the only case of rich men enlisting. There are members of almost every rich family in Salvador now at the front. Salvador is treating her prisoners with humanity, while it is stated in the battle of Metapan a young man named Molina, of one of the best Salvadorean families, was taken by the Guatemalans after he had been wounded in the leg. He was shown no mercy and was carved to pieces by the Guatemalan soldiers. La Libterstad, Salvador, July 18.—The United States cruiser Marblehead, Captain Mulligan, will leave Acajutla for San Jose, Guatemala, with American Minister Merry and the peace commissioners of Salvador and Honduras on board. The American minister also represents Nicaragua and Costa Rica by permission of the authorities at Washington. Acajutla, Salvador, July 18.—The steamer Empire, owned and operated by revolutionists in Guatemala, arrived here from Corinto. It was formally turned over to the Salvadorean government. The latter will arm the vessel and use it as a gunboat in west coast operations. POLICEMEN DEMAND THEIR PAY. Even the Gendarmes Go on Strike in Russia St. Petersburg, July 18. — Threats of a police strike nearly caused a panic here and though the strike has been postponed the danger cannot be said to have entirely passed. The ostensible basis of police discontent is monetary, including the accounting of the mens' saving fund, for which, it is alleged, they have not been allowed interest. The authorities, however, declare that the trouble was inspired by agitators. The gendarmes of the first district refused to go on their beats until assured that their money would be paid with full interest. The captain tried to pacify the men with assurances that everything would be satisfactorily arranged but they would not listen to him. They then marched to the second district, where they induced their comrades to join them. Cossacks were summoned and the police were surrounded and threatened with arrest, but they held out until the chief of police assured them that their demands would be investigated and all wrongs righted. Notwithstanding the efforts of the police officials to quiet their fears the people are in terror lest, the lawless element aboundir~ here should take advantage of the situation. Sebastopol, July 18.—The workmen employed at the arsenal of the admiralty here have struck and have been joined by the store employees and street car drivers. The streets are being patrolled. It is stated that the agitation and strike are in sympathy with Otchakoff mutineers, whose trial has begun. RIFLES IN FRUIT BARRELS. Swedish Authorities Seized 20,000 Entroute to Russia. London, July 18.—The correspondent at Copenhagen of the Daily Telegraph reports that the Russian revolutionists are again trying to import arms by way of Sweden and Finland. The Swedish authorities have seized the correspondent states, not far from Stockholm 20,000 rifles that had been destined for a Finnish town. The weapons were hidden in casks, the tops of which were filled with fruit. RUSSIAN LAND WAS SEIZED. Bobruisk, Province of Voronezh, July 18.—The troubles in the whole district, covering 235 miles square, are becoming more serious daily. The peasants have risen as one man and over twenty estates were burned and several landed proprietors killed. This town is filled with terror stricken proprietors, who were able to escape carnage only by fleeing from their estates. Ten miles from here fifteen estates were burned and many of the proprietors killed. The governor has arrived with Cossacks, but order has not been restored.

The popularity of Lewis' Single Binder straight beig cigar is largely due to the fact that this factory always uses thoroughly ripe and perfectly cured tobacco, thus giving the smoker a rich, mellow tasting cigar. The tobacco is from crops showing the best quality and is graded fancy selected. Smokers have found that they can always depend on the same high standard of quality in the Lewis' Single Binder. The Lewis' Single Binder Factory is one of the largest holders of fancy graded tobacco in the United States. Lewis' Single Binder cigar gives the smoker what he wants and at the right price. Another Australian Experiment. Suitable farming land is provided by the Australian government for groups of mep and their families that will ultimately form village settlements, but they are not to be cooperative—each settler will stand or fall on his own merits. Government overseers will guide and instruct the settlers for two years, and the house erected for his use can be used as a public hall or school. Plain rations, implements, a small stock of cows, poultry, etc.; roofing material, water tanks, etc., will be supplied for the first year. This will be charged as a loan and must be eventually refunded to the state.

The board has sent 26 missionaries to Japan and the Wom- an's society perhaps half as many, and the entire force in Japan at present must number nearly 50, including pas- tors, evangelists, teachers and Bible women. The revival spirit pervades the churches, THe mission workers are said to be greatly encouraged and the only real discouragement is the lack of men and means to improve opportuni- ties. The Methodist Protestants in common with other Methodists in Japan, it Is said, are very desirous of a union of all the Methodisms there upon a basis adopted unaimously there and submitted for consideration by the mission authorities of the home churches. Two meetings of the joint commissioners appointed by the Meth- odist churches in the United States and Canada have been held recently; but disagreement on the policy has thus far prevented the adoption of the basis Cae anine.. GAILEY’S WORK IN CHINA, What Consecrated College Man Has Accomplished Among Young ‘Men at Tientsin. Mr. Robert Gailey, who was known during the '90s as a champion foot, ball player in Princeton, bas for, te past seven years been in charge of the Young Men's Christian a*ociation rooms at Tientsin, China, where the organization occupies what was form- erly a mandarin’s palace containing 100 apartments, Some of these rooms have been fitted up with scientifie ap~ paratus, and the Princeton secretary gives lectures upon electricity, astron~ omy_and, by the aid of a very large globe, upon geography. He has con- vineed the intelligent young men of Tientsin that an eclipse is not cansed by-a great dog attempting to eat up the moon; that electricity can be prov duced without an appeal to the thun- der god, and that China is not the only country on the globe. Mr. Gailey is seeking a larger endowment for bis work and will doubtless get it, since it is through such agencies the isola- tion of the Celestial empire must he finally overcome. The Y. M. C. A. reaches a class older than that reached by the missionary schools, but a class not as yet too old to be reached at all. At Tientsin 94 per cent. of the cost of the association support is met by the non-Christian population, who have come to appreciate the worth of such an institution. HOLY RIVALRY IN GIVING. What the Converted Natives of the New Hebrides Are Doing for the Spread of Gospel, ‘The heathen of the New Hebrides love plunder, and delight in fighting with neighboring tribes. But the Gos-: pel works a great transformation. In several villages on Paama island there has beer a happy rivalry to see which chureh subscribed the most. They pro- posed te build a church, and a day was set apart for contributions. The téach- ers of some of the villages made the excuse that the people were waiting tu, see what their neighbors gave. And that was indeed the reason. On the first day the village of Luli contributed £1 5s, On tae following Sunday the village of Lironissa gave £2 5e., stim~ ulated by the other village to give more. On the Sabbath following, the people of Tahi, prevailed upon by their teacher, Pe‘er Toro, reached £4 2s. 14. Every person in that village gave, even a¥ infant a fortnight old, who, says the teucher, dropped a 3d. piece in ~the plate. Such liverality puts “us to shame! i Sera ae een! f There are few souls so base bunt some fond heart is ready to trnst them. God sometimes sends the cling- ing vine up the dead trunk of the tree to teach us that even in death ‘ais grace clings green and vigorous, and to remind us that the wrecked life, though deformed and unsightly, can be made beautiful by ever-clinging love.—Uhited Presbyterian. ‘Need a Gospel Mission. A daily paper is responsible for, the etatement that a single county in Ne- vada, covertag 16,000 square miles, hag nowhere within its borders even a mission hall in which the Gospel is preached, and yet there is a population of several thousand people in this ter- ritory.
