RE GOOD TRAITS IN THE RACE. Christian League Aids in the Work in Georgia. Cleveland, O., Oct. 19.—Justice David Brewer of the United States Supreme Court spoke on the race problem at the meeting today of the American Missionary Society of the Congregational Council. He urged the people to make it their business to aid a uplifting the Negroes, whe, he said, were much more desirable citizens than the objectionable foreign population which came to this country and made ear on the industrial and social or- The uplift through Christian education is the principal work of the American Missionary Association," said Justice Brewer. "Still these are not the only objects of its interest and care. All the despised races in our borders are included. I have myself done a little preaching from the bench of the supreme court on the duty of Christian American people to the heathen Chinese. What I said made but slight expression in the courts, but it will not be heard and heeded by the great body of American Christians. But the number of the colored people so surpass those of all the others and their relations to the nation are so peculiar that not unnaturally we look earnestly upon the work of the association among the colored people. Surely anything which is uplifting one-ninth of our population must be of profound interest to all. Many of the vast multitudes pouring into this republic are radically cold blooded and selfish. Not a few come painted with the spirit of anarchy and are willing to destroy all social order in the hope of personal gain out of the wreck. These immigrants become citizens as we are citizens and as is colored and enfranchised race. And while the colored brothers may be fond of the chicken coop and the intermelon patch, they are firm believers in social order. You will find Johann Most, Emma oldman, Czollinger or Guliteau among them. "In the struggle which may be expected to come between order and anarchy, may it not be that these people, grateful to the nation for their liberty, prove themselves a mighty force, upholding law, order and the supremacy of the nation? Stranger things have happened that of these people, crushed and wronged for generations should become at last strong defenders of the nation and the community at whose hands they hitherto have received many injuries. "They are here as citizens. Whatever temporary restrictions may be placed upon their approach to the ballot box the time will come when all barriers will b ebroken down and they will enjoy everywhere the full rights of citizenship. But ignorant citizens are the prey and the sport of every demagogue who appeals to their passions, and if one-ninth of our citizens are so exposed the whole life of the nation is in peril. "One of our first tasks is that of multiplying skilled workers. It is one thing to pic kcotton or hoe potatoes and something more valuable to make a watch or run an engine. The skilled laborer is worth more to the nation than the unskilled and the industrial training at Hampton, Tuskegee and elsewhere is creating a higher class of labor in the midst of this people." JOHN L. WALLER PASSES AWAY. He Became Well Known as Minister to Madagascar. Topeka, Oct. 19.—Word has been received in Topeka of the death in New York of John L. Waller, former one of the best known colored politicians in Kansas. During the administration of President Harrison Waller served as United States minister to Madgascar, and became involved in trouble with the French government which resulted in his being thrown into jail, where he was held until released at the demand of President Grover Cleveland in 1893. After his return to the United States Waller began suit against the French government for $100,000 damages for false imprisonment, but the suit was later compromised by the payment of $10,000 to Waller. Waller was a very eloquent speaker and was in much demand during political campaigns. During the Spanish-American war he served as an officer in the Twenty-third Kansas, the negro regiment organized by Governor Leedy. MAY ABOLISH NEGRO TROOPS. Southern Congressman Will Work to That End. Washington, Oct. 21.—That an organized effort will be made this winter by Southern senators and represen- tatives to abolish the four colored regiments now in the army of the United States is a nassured fact. That this campaign against the colored troops will, if properly organized, assume the most serious aspect, is a foregone conclusion. In the first paddle, the Southerners will enter the movement with the moral certainty that they will receive the support of the representatives and senators from the Pacific coast. Republicans and Democrats alike, who have felt strongly drawn toward the South and its race difficulties ever since the Japanese question became a live issue on the coast. Most significant of all, Democrats in the house and senate, especially those on the committees on military affairs, have received assurances from the war department officials, army officers of the highest rank on duty in Washington, that the abolition of the four colored regiments would be a most acceptable course of action so far as army people are concerned. This has served to increase the confidence of the Southerners that now is the time to make their stand for the abolition of the colored regiments. HE CAPTURED JOHN BROWN. Charlestown Blacksmith Dies at His Home in Washington. Washington, Oct. 20.—John E. Hilbert, who captured John Brown at Harper's Ferry, died at his home in this city last night. At the time of John Brown's raid, Hilbert was a blacksmith at Charlestown, W. Va., eight miles from Harper's Ferry. He joined a posse to head off Brown and was the man who captured the Kansan in the old engine house of the government arsenal. Later Hilbert joined the Confederate army and after the war was over move dto Washington, "where he has since lived. A NEGRO AWARDED CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR BRAVERY. Pittsburg, Oct. 19.—The regular fall meeting of the Carnegie Hero Commission was held and last night F. M. Wilot, secretary, announced that 24 persons throughout the country had received awards for bravery. The number is the largest in the history of the commission. With last night's awards, 216 persons have been benefited by the hero fund, and 1,121 persons have been refused either money or medals. John B. Hills, 38 years old, a negro of Atlanta, received a bronze medal and $500 to reimburse him on account of loss sustained by being injured. Hills saved several persons during a runaway accident. He was recovering from an operation and was injured again. He is the first negro to receive a reward. BANQUETED A NEGRO. Richmond Society Aroused by the Act of the New Yorkers. Richmond, Va., Oct. 19.—Mr. and Mrs. Potter of New York, who have leased a residence here during the general convention of the American Episcopal church, last evening entertained at dinner Bishop Ferguson of Africa, the only Negro entitled to a seat in the house of bishops at the convention. The dinner given in honor of the Africa nbishop, in the heart of the South, has been the occasion of considerable comment. GIVE US YOUR EAR.

Amyas Dare, of the Fifth United States cavalry, was east on furlough, after three years of frontier service. At this time he cherished a passion for photography; he had brought his friends innumerable pictures of Indians, coyotes, cliff-dwellers, and gila monsters; he went about with a kodak in his pocket and accumulated souvenirs of his holiday, destined to adorn the walls of his shack in the barracks, on the Arizona border. One fine June morning he left New York for Washington, making himself comfortable in a parlor car, with a stack of books and papers beside him. By some fatality, he was dressed that morning in full uniform. Presently, looking across the pages of his newspaper, he became aware of a beautiful young woman, seated at the open window on the other side of the car. The girl looked up from her book; the captain, ashamed to be caught staring, at once dropped his eyes, and their gaze rested full upon that peerless foot. Flesh is but grass. The captain whipped his kodak out of his pocket and, under cover of his newspaper, sighted it at the distracting object, an instant, and all would be well. But in that instant the girl stirred. "Don't move!" cried Amyas, forgetting himself. "Don't move your foot!" She sprang up, but the kodak had clicked shut; the impression was taken. "I have it!" he exclaimed, in the moment of triumph. "Thank you very much!" "You have what? A photograph of me?" "Not altogether," he explained, innocently, "merely a picture of your shoe." The young woman turned indignantly toward an elderly gentleman, who had now come forward. He had bristling white mustaches, and a haughty and forbidding appearance. "Papa!" she exclaimed, "this person has insulted me." "The particulars, Daphne!" said papa, with an ominous, steely glance at the culprit. A whispered conversation followed; then Daphne subsided into her seat, holding her head high. Her papa confronted the captain. "Sir," he said, "you have insulted my daughter." "Nothing, declared Amyas, with his best bow, "could have been further from my intentions." "How, sir? Hadn't you the impudence to try to take her photograph?" "Oh, but I didn't." "Don't attempt to trifle with me. You tried to photograph her—" "Shoe. Well, I did. But there was nothing personal about that. Nobody could possibly identify it as hers. I regarded it merely as a beautiful object of—ah—art, or nature, or—" "Be silent, sir. Of all the impudence—but, bah! I see you do not understand these things. I will come to the point. You have insulted my daughter. I demand satisfaction." "Very good, sir. I am on my way to Washington. I stop at the Ebbb house. Send your friend to me; I will be glad to accommodate you. Here is my card." "H'm! Glad to stand up and shoot at me, after affronting my daughter! I dare say. I am not such an ass, sir, as to engage in a ridiculous duel with a young swash-buckler. I shall have you tried—court-martialled—for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gen- The force of example had a very striking exemplification in the case of two persons, a man and a woman, seen walking through Central park recently. Apparently they were husband and wife. He was painfully inching along as though suffering from rheumatism, taking very short, spasmodic steps and leaning heavily on the woman's arm, and she, although having every appearance of health and strength, moved her feet in exactly the same way.

Soon after the train arrived in Washington Daphne's papa was in the office of the war department, preferring charges against Capt. Dare, while Daphne's too enthusiastic admirer, in his room at the Ebbitt house, was developing the film of his latest snap shot. As he proceeded to do so, he remarked, rather pensively: "I suppose I did wrong, and there will be old Nick to pay, but was I to miss an opportunity like that? The picture will be a gem." Subsequently, he was placed under arrest and confined to his quarters at the hotel, to await trial by a military tribunal. One morning, who should call on him but Daphne, darkly veiled, and accompanied by her maid, who looked a modish duenna in her Frenchified, black garb. Daphne had been talking to a mutual friend, a brother officer of Dare's, and this conversation had led her to look more leniently upon Dare's offense. He was a brave, single-hearted, high-toned fellow, the friend had said; singularly inexperienced in the ways of the world, and, where photographs were concerned, scarcely responsible for his actions. In this case, his error might be visited with severe punishment—even his dismissal from the service. Daphne had vainly endeavored to persuade her papa to withdraw his charges. And now—would the captain give her the unfortunate picture, that she might at once destroy it? Amyas sighed deeply; however, he brought out the picture, beautifully developed and inclosed in an envelope. He gave it to Miss St. Cyr, who gave it to her maid to carry. The officers appointed to act upon the case of Capt. Amyas Dare, charged with "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman," had met, received all the evidence collected, and were about to make their final decision. Bound to the strictest justice and impartiality, they did not propose to let any feeling of sympathy for the accused influence their verdict. They had the dignity of the service to uphold, with all its immortal traditions; and Dare's conduct had been in the last degree inconsistent with these. An unfavorable verdict seemed imminent; when, to the surprise of all, the captain, who had had very little to say in his own behalf, asked that a witness be summoned. It was supposed that all available testimony had been gathered. But Dare explained that the only real witness for the defense was the ankle photographed on the fatal occasion. A short discussion followed, which ended in dispatching a messenger to the St. Cyr residence a few blocks away. The messenger returned in haste, and with a grin handed Hon. Everard's reply to the officer whose address it bore. It was a defiance, pure and simple, of military tribunals in general and of this one in particular. It contained an absolute refusal, in language more forcible than polite, to send Miss St. Cyr's ankle. What was to be done? The officers conferred together, and one of them tively long step and then a short jerk with the other foot. And thus they made their way along, keeping exact time as though moved by an eccentric piece of machinery.—Pittsburg Dispatch. one whom I know well before he enters my door. "No two people walk quite the same, and as a rule everybody, under ordinary circumstances, puts down and lifts up his feet in a way that does not vary. I can recognize without trouble the quick nervous stride of the ```markdown ``` undertook to call on Hon Everard, and use his persuasions. He soon returned, discomfited; and Amyas, feeling fate against him, was obliged to waive the appearance of his witness. He had nearly given himself up to despair, when the door softly opened, and a trim little veiled woman entered. It was Ceasarine, Daphne's maid. She held in her neatly gloved hands a dainty little box. She looked about her for an instant, then laid it in, the hands of a gray-haired colonel, the oldest officer present. The colonel untied the cord that secured the box, and removed the wrappings, one of silver paper and one of tissue. He reverently drew forth—the ankle—and placed it on the table before him. All came forward to inspect it. No one spoke. It was a wonderful ankle. In a few seconds it had cast a spell over the entire company. The colonel was near-sighted. He adjusted his glasses and bent a little lower over the object of interest. The silence was broken by the voice of Capt. Dare. "Gentlemen, I ask you—looking at this shoe, with Her foot in it, was I to blame?" "Colonel," said the youngest member of the tribunal, rising, "have you ever read "Ninety-Three?"" "Perhaps I have," said the colonel. "If so, I don't remember it. What of it?" "Only this: I am going to emulate Sergt. Radoub. If any man, with eyes in his head and a heart in his body, could preserve entire sanity while looking at—That—court-martial me! Dismiss me from the service!" And he sat down. "Capt. Delgarde for acquittal," said the colonel. And, one after another, the remaining officers gave the verdict "Acquittal;" lastly, the gray-haired colonel himself. Amyas breathed once more. "Vive ces Messieurs!" said Ceasarine, softly. L'Envoi. Married, at the British embassy on the 20th of December, 18—, Daphne, only daughter of Hon.

No one feature of Newport extravagance more clearly shows the mint of money lavished on this playground of millionaires than the wonderful stables attached to every establishment, says the Broadway Magazine. Take, for instance, the O. H. P. Belmont villa. It has a stable for its ground floor of such dimensions that a coach and four can drive in, turn about and drive out again. It contains the most elaborate equipment of carriages and harness in the world; its walls are decorated with rare old prints and blue-ribbon prizes. The estates of the brothers Vanderbilt, Alfred and Reginald, at Sand's Point, are veritable villages of stables. As you pass, Dr. Austin Flint whirls by in his motor, and you remember that people from Maine to California are reading that "A. ss Reginald Vanderbilt is confined in the house with a cold." The mere incidents impress you at first with the extravagance of Newport. The prices of papers, periodicals, candy, flowers, etc., are doubled. The millionaire sets the pace even in the simple process of buying a paper of pins. But these details are not of importance; what is important is the gigantic abortive extravagance dreamed of in the philosophy of the millionaire, and ably shown by the magnificent homes of the very horses and motor cars. man who has the room next to mine, the light footfalls of my stenographer, the peculiar shuffle of the dean of our row.

Some people call Peruna a great tonic, Others refer to Peruna as a great catarrh remedy. Which of these people are right? Isit more proper to call Peruna a ca- tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic? Our reply is, that Peruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed, there can be no effectual catarrh rem- edy that is not also a tonic. In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not only have a specific action on the mu- cous membranes affected by the ca- tarrh, but it must have a general tonic action on the nervous system, Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened con- dition of some mucous membrane, ‘There must be something to strength- en the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces, Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the ‘world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful effi- cacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a ‘trio of medical agents is formed in Pe- rune which constitutes a specific rem- edy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be improved upon. ‘This action, rein- foreed by such renowned tonics as COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, COR- YDALIS FORMOSA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound ‘an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations in the body. From a theoretical standpoint, there- fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence thet this judgment is not overenthusiastic. When practical ex- perience confirms a well-grounded the- ory the result is a truth that cannot be ghaken. Only Royal Doctor. ‘Ths ouly royal doctor in burops ts Duke Carl Theodore of Bavaria, tew German princes have had a more ro- mantic career than Duke Carl Theo- dore. He recently completed, with his wife as his assistant, his five-thou sandth operation for cataract. Poor people flock to his hospital, where they are treated free, the duke ‘asking payment only from those who can easily afford if. He it was who successfully treated the kaiser, when, eight years ago, he was temporarily blinded by a swinging rope when ‘cruising on the Hobenzollern in the North sea. John Brown Juror.

He was met by the steamboat Belle of the Bends, with a reception committee of 100 representative citizens on board. ‘vhe president immediately embarked and followed by a dozen boats, yachts and other craft, made his entry into the city. The bluffs overiooking the river were lined with people who gave the chief executive a hearty and noisy weicome. | President Roosevelt en- tered the forward carriage and with Mayor B. W. Griffith and Gen. Stephen D. Lee, headed the parade which passed through the principal streets to the national cemetery. The streets were densely packed with people who caeered the visitor at every opportunity. At te corner of Cherry and Clay streets the procession was halted and General Lee, commancer-in-chief of the United Confederate veterans, told the president that several hundred union and confederate v terans Stoo. before him and he desire tha . ¢ chief executive snould meet the old warriors. ‘The president arose in his carriage and cordialiy shook nands with the old soldiers. Arriving at the national cemetery the party drove slowly through the burying grounds, tne president evine- ing a lively inverest in the historic place. From the cemetery the party drove to the court house square where an immense erswd had gathered to hear the speech making. Presindent Roosevelt was introduce? by General John Sharp Wiliams. When the president arose to reply the big crowd accorded him a noisy demonstration that lasted several min: utes, Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 23.—Never be- fore has Nashville been so elabcrate- ly decorated as it was Tuesday when welcoming President Roosevelt. Bunt- ing, flags, banners and pictures of the president were on almost every house in the uptown section 0. the city, which was crowded with people from a radius of 100 miles. ‘The special train entered ue Union station amid the booming of cannon, ringing of bells, shrieking of whistles and the cheering of thousands. President Roosevelt in his address at the auditorium, said: “There has been trouble in the stock market; in the high financial world during the past few months. The statement has frequently heen made that the policies for which I stand; legislative and executive are responsibie for that trouble. Now, gentlemen, these policies of mine can be summed up in one brief sentence. ‘They represent the effort to punish successful dishonesty. I doubt these policies have had any material effect in bringing about the present trouble, but if they have it will not alter in the slightest degree my de- termination that for the remaining 16 months of my term these policies shall be persevered in unswervingiy. “If to arouse a higher type of civic manhood in our nation it were neces- sary to suffer any temporary commer- cial depression, [ should consider the cost but sma... All we have done has been to unearth the wrong-doing. It wa’ not the fact that it was unearthed that did the damage. All I did was to turn on the light. I am responsible for turning on the light, but 1 am not responsibie for what the light showed. Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 23.—Prob- ably 20,000 people were in danger of injuriés Tuesday evening a: the cen- tral station when President Roose- yelt’s special train rolled into the ched at 6:10, It was a surging mass of humanity that could not be con- trolled. The demonstration was so great that it was impossible for the president to speak; he made many at- tempts, but finally gave up, The cheering was almost incessant, an@ In the wild rush to get close to the prest- dent's car women were carried off their feet and men had to fight back the avalache of humanity.

IN LIFE’S BRIEF SPAN, Experiences, Joys and Sorrows of the Human Existence, ‘The loves and friendships of indl- viduals partake of the frail character of human life, and are brief and un- certain. The experience of a human life may be shortly summed up: A little loving and a good deal of -sor- rowing; some bright hopes and many bitter disappointments; some gor- geous Thursdays when the skies are bright and the heavens blue, when Providence, bending over us, in bless- ings, glads the heart almost to mad- ness; many dismal Fridays, when the smoke of torment beclouds the mind and undying sorrows gnaw upon the heart; some high ambitions and many ‘Waterloo defeats, until the heart be- comes like a charnel house filled with dead affections, embalmed in holy but sorrowful memories; and then ‘the chord is loosed, the golden bowl is broken, the individual life—a cloud, a vapor, passes away.—Matthew Hale Carpenter.

The Searchlight has added the theater column to its pages, and will endeavor each week to give its readers the news of coming good attractions at the Wichita opera houses. "Before and After" is booked at the Crawford Tuesday, November 5th. Outdoor Tuesday, November 20 It is always customary to say a comedy is irresistibly funny, yet there is really no other phrase which can describe that deliciously absurd farce called "Before and After," of which Leo Ditrichstein is author and leading man. That he adapted the play from the German may be true, but no one who watches his acting of the chief role will doubt that he has improved rather liberally on the original version of the play. The most acrimonious pessimist buried in an apparently impervious grouch will not be safe in the audience. Before he is aware he will progress from smiles to side-sbaking laughter as surely as if he had taken one of the infallible "Sunny Jim" powders, those wonderful potions which produce all the absurd complications of the play. One may speak first of Leo Ditrichstein since he shows himself such a pre-eminently brilliant farce comedian. This play of his gives him sufficient opportunity for those lightin' gchanges in which he has previously shown his versatility. For nothing could switch much more rapidly than do the situations in "Before and After." He has a particularly subtle faculty in fun-making; his hands alone play a little comedy by themselves. But after Mr. Ditrichstein, it would be difficult to select any member of the cast as really superior to the rest, so uniformly good is the entire company. Edward Elton, as Dr. Latham, did very unusual work in his character as instigator and extricator. The irasible Frenchman of Mr. Durand satisfied one's conception to the most delicate shade. Aubrey Beattie was so thoroughly Jeffreys that it seemed impossible to believe he could ever have been anything else. The character of Edgar Driscoll was foolish foolery very well done by John Arthur. Miss Madeline Sorrell made the most of a rather subordinate part and Miss Hazel Chappel played the outraged wife with excellent effect, while the parts of Cora Belle and Odette were given with really delightful skill by Miss Kenyon Bishop and Miss Nellie Butler.-Omaha World-Herald, Oct. 11th. The phenomenal run of "Are You a Mason?" in London is the talk of the theatrical world. It has been playing there continuously for the pas three years, and the business is still averaging about $5,000 a week. This is a remarkable record when one considers the bad condition of theatricals in London for the past season or so. For the past five years this excruciatingly funny comedy has been the favorite laugh maker of America, and this season it is playing to bigger business than ever. "Are You a Mason?" will be the attraction at the Crawford, matinee and night, Staurday, October 26. The Press Agent's Retort.

A rival company was appearing at a theater but a few blocks away, and doin ga very bad business. The pres sagent of the unfortunate company, while doing his utmost to divert public interest from the "Strongheart" company to the one he represented was personally on quite friendly terms with the gifted young star. They met frequently in a social way, and in a light vein discussed the merits of their respective attractions. Mr. Stuart, who is devoid of the petty jealousy that at times obtains in the profession, was genuinely commiserating, and sorry for the hard luck his friend's company was up against. "Oh, we're not doing so badly." was the constant assertion of the press agent, "come around and see for yourself." "I can't, unless I close up for a night," retorted Stuart, "and that EDITOR. would disappoint too many people." On Saturday afternoon the funeral of a edman musician was held in the neighborhood of the hard luck theater, and the street on both sides was thronged as Stuart strolled past after his own matinee. In front of the opposition house he met the energetic press agent, armed with a camera. "What are you going to-do, old man?" asked Stuart. "Photograhp this immense audience leaving our theater," responded the press agent; "isn't it a dandy?" "Pretty good crowd," said Stuart, "but what is the hearse here for?" "Oh, that! Why, that's to carry awa ythe unfortunates killed in the crush." Another group of quaint characters are to be seen in the coming production of "Just Out of College" at the Crawford next Wednesday, October 30. The successful run of the piece in New York, Chicago, and Boston would seem a sufficient guarantee of the merit of the attraction. HONORS OUR CHIEF. Knights and Daughters of Kansas City, Kan., Tender a Great Reception in Honor of Sir Rev. Frank Wilson and Wife. --- On Wednesday evening, October 16, 1907, 777 Sir Knights, and Daughters of Tabor 333 of Kansas City, Kan., gave a grand reception at their hall, corner of Eleventh street and Washington avenue, in honor of Chief Grand Mentor Sir Rev. Frank Wilson and wife. The hall was beautifully decorated with palms, creeping artistically arranged and flowers of all colors and variety galore, and under the varied colors of electric lights assembled the merry throne of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor laughing and chatting while the sweet strains of music was being played by Miss Hallie Holt and Miss Gertrude McClais of Western University. All were anxiously awaiting the arrival of C. G. M. Sir Rev. Frank Wilson and wife. At 8:45 p. m. a pair of charging white horses with a closed carriage was driven up to the hall, the door of the carriage was opened and out stepped the C. G. M. Sir Rev. Frank Wilson and wife and C. G. Instructor Sir John W. Wilson and wife. They quietly marched to the stage, where many were introduced to Mrs. Frank Wilson, the wife of our C. G. M. The house was called to order at 9:15 by the eminent young Chief Mentor of Eureka Temple No. 23, Kansas City, Kan. Sir John F. Armstrong, the master of ceremonies of the occasion, and the one who introduced, and by his earnest effort was the cause of the magnificent affair, too much cannot be said of this pushing young man. After he delivered a few pointed and spick remarks the following programme was rendered: Invocation by Sir Rev. Bowrin of the First Baptist church, Kansas City, Kan. 1. Welcome Address, Sir Dr. R. C. Hayden. 2. Response, Sir Dr. G. E. Horsey. 3. The Need of the Organization, Dtr. Emma Gaines, C. G. P., Topeka, Kan. 4. The Life and Taborian Works of Rev. Frank Wilson., C. G. M., Sir Rev. G. C. Fishback, C. G. O., of Topeka, Kan. 5. Progress of Our Order, Sir Dr. C. M. 7. Presentation Speech, J. E. Herford C. G. M., of Missouri. SIR JNO. F. ARMSTRONG, Master of Ceremonie The welcome address was rendered to the satisfaction of all present. It was a pointed, brief eight-minute speech, which showed the speaker, Sir Dr. R. C. Hayden, an able young man and equal to the occasion. He is a conscientious young man and no doubt a coming leader. In his flowery address he said: "Kind Sir, We the Taborian members of this jurisdiction, believed that had we searched from the ice-bound shores of the Great Lakes down through the fertile valleys of the Appalachian mountains to the Great Delta of the Mississippi, or had we searched from the golden gates of the calm Pacific over the snow-capped peaks of the Rockies to the troubled and restless waters of the Atlantic we would not have found a man to be more loyal, more enterprising, more qualified and instructive than the one one we now pay our homage. Kind Sir, you seem to be cognizant of the fact that we as a race need to be united in friendship, love and truth, put on the whole armor of knowledge in the race of life." This is a small portion of the many great things he said. We are very proud of young Sir Dr. R. C. Hayden and know him to be a model Christian young man, and an eminent practitioner of his 1623 profession and a gallant Knight of Tabor. The response was delivered by our much beloved Sir Dr. G. E. Horsey, a man of known ability as a Knight of Tabor and as a physician. He beautifully responded to the welcome address in every detail, frequently referring to the C. G. M. and his most proficient work as a Taborian leader, after which followed the eminent Mrs. Emma Gaines, Chief Grand Preceptress who spoke on the need of the organization. She spoke of organized bodies from the time of Moses to the present time and frequently referred to our Frank Wilson, Moses Dickson and Moses, the leader of the Israelites, and other such leaders. Lady Emma Gaines as we all know is a proficient leader, and we the Taborian Family think there is no greater mother than she. Next the honored guests, Rev. Frank Wilson and wife and members enjoyed the smooth, gliding oratory from the silver-tongued Chief Grand Orator of Missouri and Kansas Jurisdiction, Sir Rev. G. C. Fishback, a man who is known for brain, talent and tongue. Followed by the Honorable Sir Dr. C. M. Moates of Leavenworth, who so beautifully showed the progress of the order from its infancy, and who showed that the financial progress of this jurisdiction was brought about by your honorable C. G. M. A timely and pointed speech was delivered by the C. G. M. of Missouri, Sir J. E. Herford. He spoke of Sir Rev. Frank Wilson's early marrying in life, followed by laughter, and in a smooth, proficient way presented the following presents to the honored guests: From C. G. M. of Missouri, a valuable closed package. From the Temple at Leavenworth, a silver water set. From the Knights and Daughters, members of Tents of Kansas City, Kan., a complete silver tea set. From Temple No. 10, Wichita, a silver shaving mug and brush. From Daughter May Perkins and mother, a silver salad fork. From Sir W. N. Miller and wife, Wichita, a glass wine set. After which Sir J. E. Herford presented C. G. M. Sir Rev. Frank Wilson as a married man, who was so taken from his feet that he was unable to say much for the shortness of breath, whilc only comes to those who know how to appreciate the kindness of others. But as he never fails to say something he directed a short and pointed and instructive speech on the "Life and Works of Sir Rev. Father Dickson." Then by music all marched to the banquet room for supper in order as follows: Rev. and Mrs. Frank Wilson, C. G. M. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Herford, C. G. of Missouri Mr and Mrs. J. W. Wilson, C. G. Instructor Prof. and Mrs. French, president Western University. Notice of Application for Permit to Self Intoxicating Liquors. State of Kansas, Sedgswick County, ss. Before O. D.

A BIT OF LIFE (Copyright, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) Trinity church is ablaze with lights. The chancel is fragrant with the perfume of rare exotics. The rustle of silken gowns is heard as guests pass up the aisle. Voices are hushed and anxious looks toward the western door show the eagerness with which they await the coming of the bridal party. One by one the carriages roll up, deposit their fair burdens and pass down the other side of the street. Outside the thick flashes of snow come down soft and fast. A sudden little gust of wind blows a miniature avalanche around a corner, and for a moment almost blinds a swiftly passing pedestrian, who suffers accordingly from the unexpected assault by bringing his umbrella in direct collision with that of some one coming towards him. Both hurriedly look up, and both simultaneously grasp hands and exclaim: "My dear boy!" "Pon my word, Geoff, where did you drop from?" gasps the younger man. "Odd thing, that, d'ye know. Bob Lathrop and I were speaking of you this morning at the club; wondered if one of your royal Bengales had taken a notion to swallow you whole. Bob said: 'No. Trust Geoff for that; nothing so tame for him. Pincky man, Geoff!' Bob suggested some East Indian beauty and all that sort of thing; might be, you had said 'good by' to the land of your forefathers forever. But now old man, we have you with us again. Welcome back! Tell you, I'm delighted!" The serious gray eyes of Geoffry Thorne had reflected many lights during his friend's speech. At the mention of falling in love, they had saddened perceptibly, but had relighted as if with some sudden thought and turning to the other he answered: "No, Jack, it was not that. Fighting tigers is not half bad, and there are pretty girls all the world over, but to tell you the truth, three years is a long time to knock around and I've come to stay. The Etruria dropped anchor six hours ago and here I am tubed, dressed and making for the club; pretty good time, eh?" "Pretty good!" echoed Jack Lenox, absently. "By the way, Geoff, I was thinking instead of going to the club, suppose you take this card and drop into Trinity there; wedding going on—old friend, I believe, too—was going myself, but changed my mind. Good-by, old man! Meet you to morpom at the Metropolitan!" and waving his hand, was off; saying to himself: "Odd thing, that—just happened to think—old flame of his, Marian Strong—wonder how he'll take it!" Thorne glanced at the card carelessly. "Please present this at the church," stood irresolute a minute, and then turned toward the long line of carriages, saying: "Well, I might as well—can go to the club later and Jack says it is an old friend—wonder who?" and turning up his coat collar to the now ice wind, says softly to himself: "Three long years and now back again! Back to Marlan!" How lovingly he dwells upon that name, dearer to him than all the world: "Marlan! what will she say? Does she care? Who knows? Nothing but silence—all of my letters unanswered—nothing left me but this little rite that she took off her finger the night I said 'Good by!' and told me to trust her—and I have trusted. Can I wait until to-morrow, I wonder?" His thoughts were brought to an abrupt close by the obnoxious umbrella coming in contact with an awning stretched from the doorway of the church to the street, under which he now passes and into the glare. The bridal party are at the altar. From his seat near the door he hears the impressive Episcopal service being read, while the tender strain of de Koven's "O Promise Me" softly steals through the heavy perfumed air. Now the notes have changed to a more joyous tone: the triumphant song of Mendelssohn pealing forth from master fingers. They have turned and are slowly passing down the aisle. Geoffrey begins to feel a bit bewildered. He says he cannot see distinctly, and yet, there is something strangely familiar—"Gad, 'tis colar chokes me!" He turns nervously to leczen it. They are nearing him. The bride seems pale; and is it not a forced smile rather, than a natural one that light, the beautiful face? The look of bewilderment on Geoffrey's face has changed suddenly to one of horror and then to a misery that time will never heal. There is spreading over his face an ashy pallor, that brings in prominence every line; determination, too, is written there. "My God!" he matters, "can it be Marian? Marian, darling, come back, come back!" he whispers feverishly and stretches out his arms. Nothing but space answers him. The warden taps him on his shoulder. He looks hastily around and sees he is alone in the church. He steps out in' the frosty air and' looks around. Where is he? What has happened? Why is that heavy pat at his heart? and why does everything look so dreary? "Yes, yes" he sighs, "I remember it all." Then the look of determination comes back. Hastily calling a cab, he jumps in and giving directions to the driver so soon among the long line of car- 4 riages drawn up in front of the handsome avenue home that he knows so well. "I will see her! I will know from her own lips," he mutters as he angles and passes in among the guests. He reaches a quiet doorway where he can see and yet be unobserved. He takes a long breath. "Ah, how beautiful she is!" He sees the same clear cut features crowned by that same beautiful hair that he had once reverently touched; the pure white throat rises like chiselled marble from the gleam of her wedding gown. "Her wedding gown! The wife of another!" the thought maddens him. He cannot bear it. "Marian!" he groans and turns away. He will leave the house—it is only agony to stay—he will go away again—all is over—only memory left—that will never go! He reaches the door and then as if impelled by a will stronger than his own—enters the drawing-room She is receiving her congratulations with ease and grace always characteristic of Marian Strong, but today there is a restlessness, a tremor of excitement about her that she cannot conquer. Her eyes are nervously scanning the room; they look at every one who enters. She gives a sudden gasp. A look of terror spreads over her face and passing away, leaves her deathly white. Some one is approaching, and with a superhuman effort she controls herself. "May I offer my congratulations, Mrs. Wyman?" a low, steady voice is saying, but she hears nothing. Faces around her have become indistinct. She thinks she hears music somewhere. Her hand is held out mechanically and touched. "Geoffrey, Geoffrey!" she cries faintly. It is stifling, and yet she is growing colder each minute. "Such a surprise!" the voice is saying in well modulated tones. "I only returned from India this morning—met Jack Lawrence on the street; he told me an old friend was being married at Trinity and gave me his card—Such a surprise!" he repeated "Couldn't believe my own eyes—had to come to the house to be convinced. You have my best wishes, Mrs. Wyman. I should like to see you again, but I sail to-morrow for England. I had expected to remain in New York, but my plans have been changed," and with a forced smile of adieu, he passes on and out in the cooling night. The room grows suddenly dark to Miriam. The light has gone from her life forever. "Mrs. Wyman is ill; the strain has been too much for her!" is whispered around. As the guests leave the room, some one says: "Beastly custom, anyway, standing two hours. Poor girls! I wonder there are not more cases of nervous prostration after these wedding receptions." As Geoffrey boards the Kron Prinz the next morning, a note is handed him. It is only a little cream, crested affair, and reads thus: "They told me you were dead; that you had been killed in a fight with natives. My letters were returned. Father urged me to marry Mr. Wyman, and at last I yielded. Oh Geoffrey! why did you come back too late?" Jack Lawrence hears the news of Geoffrey's departure next morning at the club and twirls his mustache thoughtfully as he says to himself: "By Jove! there must have been something in that old affair after all. Jack, it wasn't quite fair in you! Poor old Geoff!" then calls for a brandy and soda. Shrewd Scheme to Mulct Bride of Wedding Presents. Lecon, the detective, waved the reporters back. "Madame," he said to Mrs. Van Astorbilt, "take my advice and don't have a list of your daughter's wedding presents printed." But, regarding the blaze of diamonds, the pale sheen of pearls and the glitter of massed gold and silver on the long table, Mrs. Van Astorbill said regretfully, rebellious: "Oh, why not, Mr. Lecoq?" "Madame, I'll tell you," said the great detective; and he began in thrilling accents, while the reporters listened with an air of incredulity and displeasure: "Madame, there is a new dodge out in the profesh. A crook gets a list of the presents at a fashionable wedding, and then forges a letter—say from Mr. Brown, whose gift was a rock crystal ewer—and old Brown says in this here letter that he is sorry to see the bride got two other crystal ewers, and he wishes her to return his to him by bearer, and he'll send her a rope of pearls in its place. "Of course the bride complies. She sends away the ewer, she waits for the pearls, and days, weeks, go by. The pearls don't arrive, but, for fear of hurting Brown's feelings, the bride says nothing to him about his strange remissness, and thus the thief has plenty of chance to get off. "Carefully worked, this dodge is almost bound to succeed, and lists of valuable presents like these here should on that account never be made public." \* \* \* For the Hostess ant College Party. The 31st of October is the day par excellence on which to entertain. There is almost no limit to the things to be done—it acheons, dinners and evening parties can be made most unique, and the stores provide a charming array of novelties for favors, place cards and decorative purposes. Then there is always the charm of mystery, the driving into the future for tokens of success in love affairs and the surety that all omens will come true if bried on Hallowe'en in the dark of the moon at the witching hour of 12. M.n.e. Merri has been permitted to see the preliminary plans and preparators being made by two young girls, and she is delighted to pass on some of the ideas to the readers of the department. The invitations are on red card board, lettered in black. They are ornamented with pen and ink sketches of witches, cats, owls, bats, brownies, cabbages, etc. They read: "You are invited to come to the sign of the Jack O'Lantern on witch night at 8 o'clock." A small boy bearing a staff on the top of which will rest a grinning jack o'lantern is to deliver the invitations. He will wear a white mask with the features market on in red and black. The hostesses are going to dress as witches in black cambric robes ornamented with cwls, toads, cats, etc., cut out of red cloth then appliqued on. Tail witches caps and masks will complete these wizard costumes. All the black cats in the neighborhood are to be borrowed for the occasion, while the rest of the animals suitable to this night are being manufactured to fly from the ceiling by invisible threads. All the old-time charms, with apples, nuts and tea grounds, will be tried, and the dining room is to be the scene of the greatest mystery of all. As midnight approaches a gong is to ring out 12 solemn strokes and the door will open to reveal a red-covered table with broad black ribbons across it. A large stuffed owl is to be suspended in a tree bough by red and black ribbons from the overhead chandelier. Pumpkin "jacks" and candles are to furnish the only light, making the spiders, snakes and toads, etc., crawling over the table look grewse enough. A tissue paper pumpkin rests on each plate with a tiny black cat perched upon it, and there are the dearest little tin kettles for holding the salted nuts. The usual refreshments are to be served, but the mystery cake is to be brought in with due pomp and ceremony. It will be illuminated by red candies, will stand on a platter surrounded by burning brandy in which large table raisins are to be scattered. As it is passed around each guest will attempt to get a raisin out of the flame. Only one chance is to be allowed. The gaining of the bit of fruit is supposed to bring good luck. This is called a "Snap Dragon," and is a very old custom. The cake will contain a coin, ring, pen, thimble, a lucky stone from the head of a sheepshead fish and a rabbit's foot. At a College Party. The reign of the post card is supreme and it is really omnipresent. The very latest (to me) was its use at a recent party where the men were either college graduates or were in attendance at some well-known institution. Soon after the arrival of the guests the hostess, herself a college girl, passed cards, hearing silken em- Design for Doily Design for Dohly A most acceptable present to make a friend, and especially if she be enthusiastic for water sports, would be a set of dolls, or serviettes, and a teatable cover worked with this simple design. Linen or damask might be used for the foundation, and the embroidery worked with blue or red ingrain cotton; the edge is simply buttonholed round, as lace or drawnthread work would be out of place. The work is executed in cording袜 with knot stitches at the ends of the short lines. The edge should be run out twice to make it strong before the buttonhole is worked.

Hostess blems in the colors of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc., to the girls, telling them to compare with the other girls and exchange until each maiden had the ennant of her preferred man's college. The men select their favorite and then each man and each maid as partners were found for the game to be played and the emblem was pinned upon his sleeve or coat lapel. These cards were simply postals with the merriest of gingles on each one. A Guessing Contest The hostess called this an "Observation" contest. The following objects were arranged upon a table and each guest was handed a catalogue. After 10 minutes of close study the table was removed and as many of the objects as could be remembered and identified were marked opposite the list. Out for the night.—Candle in candle-stick. Departed days—Old Calendar. Scene in Bermuda—Bermuda onions. The reigning favorite—An umbrella. Home of Burns—Flatiron. The greatest bet ever made—Alpha bet. A line from home—Clothesline. A heavenly body—Dipper. A place for reflection—Mirror. The mute choir—A quire of paper. Made to shine—Silver polish. An absorbing subject—Flotter Assorted liquors—Whip, switch, slip per. The black friar—A skillet. A rejected beau—Old hair ribbon. A skylight—A star. Cole's memorials of the great—Clinders. The morning caller—A bell. The skipper's home—Cheese. Scene at a baseball game—A pitcher. HOW TO APPEAR TALL Simple Rules That Will Aid Short Women to Attain Fashionable Height. If you would appear as slender and tall as possible observe the following rules: Adopt plain garments, dark colors and lengthwise effects. A dark princess gown with lines from neck to edge of skirt will accentuate the apparent height and slenderness very much. Avoid all crosswise effects and light colors; shun plaids, belts, large buttons and a variety of material or shading at one time—anything which tends to break up the long, sweeping lines of the same tone—as you would a pestilence. For home wear, trailing garments in one tone, light or dark, will increase the height. A solid trig, compact, one-tone effect must be the aim of the well-dressed, large, fleshy woman. Puffs, ruffles and fluffy effects are not her rightful inheritance. Her dimples and curves are brought out best by the plain dark garments. Have the material as rich as your purse will permit. Avoid tight lacing, high, stiff collars, high heels and anything that would interfere with your freedom of movement. Freedom and comfort for throat, feet and waist are absolutely essential to health and grace. or Doily OF TABOR —NEBRASKA JURISDICTION HHTERS OF C. C. G. M. city. Kas. C. C. G. P. Topeka. Kas. TENTS.
