NEGROES THRONG IN CAPITOL Flock to Hear Defense of Discharged Soldiers. Senator, After Disclaiming Intent to Attack President, Declares Him Disqualified to Determine Software Insecure. Washington. April 14.—Attracted by the announcement that Senator Foraker was to speak in defense of the more soldiers discharged by order of the president because of the Brownsville riots negroes of both sexes today drowned the capital in greater numbers than ever before in its history. As soon as the Senate's house galleries became available the negroes crowded into them until all the space to which admission cars are not necessary was occupied. Before 10:30 one of the men's public galleries was completely filled and there were only four white men in the entire section. By 11 o'clock the other men's gallery was full to capacity, and more than half of the occupants were negroes. The women's public gallery similarly was taken possession of. There was then left only the reserved galleries, which are not usually opened until 11:45 o'clock, but today they were thrown open at 11:15. Ordinarily the reserved galleries are occupied entirely by white people, but today fully two-thirds of the seats were filled by negroes of both sexes. Not Seeking Revenge. Long before the Senate opened every man had been taken and the corridors contained almost enough people to refill the galleries. It was evident from the beginning that the Ohio senator was expected to make a satisfying defense of the Negro race and that he would not lack an appreciative audience. Mr. Poraker was recognized to speak at 12:37 o'clock. Preceding his set speech, which he had reduced to manuscript, he announced that there appeared to be much misinformation regarding his intentions abroad in the land. He hold in his hand a newspaper capping, which, he said, charged that he intended to make a three days' speech which would be a bitter attack upon the president of the United States and the secretary of war. "I want to enter indignant denial," he said, to the statement that I would speak for three days. It is slander, and, as it is printed, is libel. At no more have I had any purpose of making an attack upon President Roosevelt or Secretary Taft. I have no revenge to seek. I have simply sought to present the facts in regard to the unfortunate affair at Brownsville." Denies the Proof. The senator reviewed the various incidents and orders that led up to the discharge of the men without honor, most of the witnesses against the soldiers, he said, testified four different times. Their testimony, so given, is sufficiently contradictory to show that it is unreliable," he said, "but aside from the contradictions on account of the darkness of the night, many things that they testified to could not have possibly have been observed by them." The circumstantial evidence against the soldiers concerning the shells and bullets after the shooting, turned out, Mr. Poraker declared, to be favorable to them because of the impossibility for them to have had such ammunition without that fact being developed in the examinations that were made. Besides this, no motive whatever is shown such an assault. Foraker compared bills pending before the Senate providing for the environment of the soldiers, one introduced Senator Warner of Missouri, giving president authority to re-enlist him if he should be satisfied that they not participate in the affray, and by Mr. Foraker, making re-enlistment mandatory upon the soldier tak- ing an oath that he did not participate or know anything of the guilty parties concerned in it. Mr. Foraker's bill also annuls the record of discharge without honor, a provision not included in the Warner bill, and annuls the president's enlistment in the navy. Attacks Warner Bill. Regarding the discretion given the president in the Warner bill, he said: "Never before in the history of civilization has a legislative body been invited to require men accused of crime to prove their innocence before a hostile judge who has already adjudged them guilty; never before has there been a suggestion that any man worthy to sit in judgment on the rights of his countrymen would accept such a duty if assigned him, if conscious of "By what right does the senator from Missouri assume that the president is capable of such a manifest impropriety? "The vilest horse thief, the most dangerous burglar, or the bloodiest murderer would not be required either to prove his innocence or to submit to a trial with a judge who had even in the most casual way expressed the opinion that the defendant was guilty." Warner to Reply. Senator Warner of Missouri will reply to Foraker next Monday. He will talk about four hours, and will endeavor to uphold the action of the president in dismissing the Negro troops without trial. Senators Lodge and Borah will also defend the president's action. The Republican senators are in an embarrassing position. Most of them are opposed to the Warner bill, which seeks to give the negro soldiers relief in a certain measure. They favor the Foraker bill, which restores the soldiers to their rights htey had before dismissal. The Democrats are opposed to both bills, and the president threatens to veto the Foraker bill if it passes. A movement is on foot to effect a compromise, whereby the Republicans can all support the same measure. House leaders say that if the Foraker bill goes through the Senate, it will pass the House by the regular Republican majority. Robt. N. Harper, a prominent druggist manufacturer of Washington, D. C., was convicted Wednesday, April 15, for violating the pure food law and was fined $5,200. This is the first conviction under the recent law. EVERY MAN CAN OWN A HOME. There is not a man in Kansas, black or white, who, if he seriously desires it, cannot own a home for himself and family. With all the modern home-getting inducements, the installment plan, the building and loan associations, the long-time mortgages, the WICHITA, KANSAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1908. time payments, etc., removes all excuse from the modern day man for not owning a home. The time is fast approaching when in the affairs of our government the man who does not own some soil will be denied a voice in its affairs. The system of voting taxes and bonds which the property owners must pay and which are, in many cases carried at the election by non-property holders is raising a keen interest in this subject and, we say, it may not be long hence till some decisive stand may be taken pointing more specifically who shall vote on such propositions and in all earnestness we say to our people, the black people in particular, that it will behoove them to become owners of some soil. Then again, a man can be a good citizen and not be a property owner, but it is an evident fact that the mere possession of soil raises an unconscious ambition in a man which will make him a better citizen by being a property owner. Small beginning oftimes brings big results and every man can make a small beginning. "Where there's a will there's a way." With pleasure we have from time to time advised our people to get homes and in many cases we have assisted them in finding locations, making suitable terms, etc., and in every such case we are proud to say the party assisted or helped is doing nicely. Our mission is to be a help to our people in every and any way that will tend to lift them higher as well as to be helped by them. In other words be a party to a mutual and reciprocal helping of each other. There are many colored families in Wichita and out of it who now own or are buying homes, who frankly acknowledge that the first serious inspiration which they received to be a home owner was given them through the columns of the Searchlight or by a personal contact with the edtior of this paper. We humbly bow and appreciate this honor—yet we feel that there are hundreds of others who could, if they would, and if by some word, act or deed, be can be the means by which others may take this inspiration we will feel amply repaid for our effort in this line. We would rejoice to know that every colored man in our city owned his own home—and this could be. Stop and think of the hundreds of dollars you pay in rents—and in return you can show nothing. Then study the hundreds of plans laid out to induce you to buy a home. Man, think! Our only desire is to get our people to look to their own interests and grasp the opportunities presented. Make up your mind to own a home and you can ac- Taft Is Depicted in Moving Pictures Careless Secretary Causes Much Trouble Stephenson Now the Second Oldest Senator WASHINGTON.—The all-engrossing topic of conversation in all sets of Washington society is the rumored engagement of Miss Katherine Elkins, daughter of Senator and Mrs. Stephen B. Elkins, to the royal duke of Abruzzi, who was the social lion for a few days last spring when he came in command of the Italian warships for the opening of the Jamestown exposition. This engagement has been rumored more or less for the last six months, but has been strenuously denied by all the members of Miss Elkins' family. The duke is the first cousin of the king of Italy, and should he marry without the approval of his royal relative, he would have to renounce his title, one of the most honored in all Italy, and all his rights as a member of the royal family. His father, the king of Aosta, was for some time king of Spain. He can, however, retain his royal prestige, and even the title by a special act of the Italian parliament, provided the king gives his consent to the match. If this marriage takes place it will be by all odds the most brilliant in NO MATTER what the future may hold in store for Secretary of War Taft, he has achieved fame. A few days ago his portly person was enshrined in hundreds and hundreds of films, which will go to make up a picture show presentation of a review of the cavalry and artillery at Fort Myer. Neither the secretary nor Gen. Bell, who accompanied him, posed. They just ambled up and down between lines of artillery, powder and lenses. It was an ideal day, and the pictures were very successful. Every "THE best laid plans of mice and men aft gang agley," and so it was with the guest list of a high official who recently planned a dinner in honor of President and Mrs. Roosevelt. Every invited one accepted and covers were laid for a score and ten guests but only 28 arrived. What could be the matter! Minutes seemed like hours while the hostess was torn between two thoughts, would it be worse to keep honor guests waiting while the table was reset, or let them see vacant places around the festal board. The former way was decided upon and all the while the change was being made both host and hostess regretted that political reasons would BY the death of Senator William Pinckney Whyte of Maryland, Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin becomes the second oldest member of the senate. When Mr. Stephenson was elected to the senate a year ago there were four senators whose age was greater than his. Senators Pettus and Morgan of Alabama died last fall, and Senator Whyte, who was born August 29, 1824, became the oldest senator. Senators Allison, Stephenson and Cullom were born in 1829, Mr. Allison in March, Mr. Stephenson in June, and Mr. Cullom in November, Mr. Allison is now the oldest senator in point of years as well as in senatorial service. The late Senator Whyte was a stickler for the proper spelling of his name. ternational match yet made by a Washington girl. The duke is the most distinguished foreigner to come to the United States a-woing, and he has won fame by being the explorer to reach the farthest point north. He is deeply interested in all things pertaining to the north pole. He headed his expedition which made this brilliant record, and has been lionized on this account in every country he has visited since then. Miss Elkins is a typical American girl. She differs from the average society girl or the members of her "set," inasmuch as she positively refused to be presented formally to society at a tea, dance or other function, according to the American custom of launching young women on a social career. She just "came out" by degrees, after a complete preparation, as far as schooling and accomplishments are concerned. She had traveled widely during her school days, and has made trips abroad with her parents, or with her mother, each summer since then. She is one of the most daring riders and skilled whips among the women in Washington. She seldom drives in anything as tame as an automobile, but is usually behind her high-stepping, prize-winning cob or trotter, or on the back of her thoroughbred hunter. She is a familiar figure in all cross-country runs and the horse shows in the eastern part of the country. time the secretary's horse switched its tail a camera clicked. The exchange of salutes, the spirited swing of the squadron into line, and the long lines of ordance presented a panorama alone worth the price of admission. The Taft party was photographed from the moment it left the city to make for the post across the Potomac. In the party were Mrs. Taft and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Taft. Favorite sons have cigars named after them, and get nice canned eulogies in convention resolutions, but there is nothing to it but a fame when it reaches the moving picture stage. These films will be shown, sandwiched in among illustrated songs in all parts of the country. One thing it will prove, and that is the secretary. despite the fact that he is big in body, is an accomplished horseman. prevent their wreaking mighty vengeance upon the delinquents. To make a bad matter worse they saw in next morning's paper that their would-be guests had been members of a theater party the night before. What happened next none but the principals know, but others noted that within a week Mr. Blank and Senator So-and-so were not on speaking terms and a few days later, the former came out with an interview stating his preference for some one else as Republican candidate for the presidency. That was the last straw. Explanations were asked for and received to the effect that Mr. B.'s secretary after accepting the dinner invitation, crossed off the wrong date and he and his wife had gone at the last minute, to the play with friends on the evening they should have dined with Senator S. Innocent of intentional wrongdoing, he in turn had been cut by the latter's coldness and turned political tables "just for fun!" Only a few weeks ago he explained to one of his colleagues how it came about that he spelled his name with a "y." He said that his father, who was a prominent merchant in Baltimore, was defrauded of his little fortune by some of his relatives of the name of White. "I took up the quarrel that followed," said the senator, "and became somewhat bitter toward the White family. One day when I was signing my name I struck out the "I" and inserted y'. The change pleased my fancy and I've continued it ever since." Notwithstanding his advanced age the Maryland senator was more attentive to his duties than many of his younger colleagues. Frequently he was the only member of the senate who was present when the gavel fell and the senate was called to order, and this, notwithstanding that his home was in Baltimore and he made the journey to and from Washington every day. He made a virtue of punctuality, and was rarely behind time, either at his office or elsewhere. NO.5 A SLAT GATE. It Will Prove Serviceable for the Barn Doorway. Where the horse stable opens into the buggy room and it is necessary to keep the door open for ventilation I find that a small gate constructed of light material is an excellent protection against horses getting loose and injuring the buggies. The cut herewith shows a light gate we have in use in our horse barn. It is very simple in construction, but serves a very important purpose. Were it not for this light gate we would find it necessary to keep the door closed between the horse stable and buggy room, thus shutting off ventilation. The gate is hinged onto the rolling door with light strap hinges, explains a writer in Prairie Farmer, so that when the gate is not in use it swings around and fastens to the large door out of the way. For material in making the gate we use inch strips of good pine for the horizontal pieces. The upright pieces are light strips gotten out for fence pickets. I find a light gate of this character a good thing to keep poultry out on the barn during the summer months. KEEP STOCK IN CONDITION. No Time of Year When They Should Be Let Run Down. When? Right now—to-day and toorrow and all the cattle till it comes time to let the cattle out to pasture. Sometimes we may get a little careless about this. So many men say: "What hurt does it do to let the cows go with scant rations for a few weeks in winter? By-and-by they will go out to pasture and then they can gain up again. It will not cost so much to get them in good flesh then as it would now, and feed costs so in winter!" Of course feed costs. That is a foregone conclusion. If we keep stock, however, ought not to be prepared to do the fair thing by it? There are some of the best reasons why, from our own standpoint, we should do this. One of these is, that if we turn the cattle out in spring poor and weak it will take so long to get them up in good shape to do their best that we shall lose more than we shall gain by scrimpling now. We are learning that cattle are sure to take the feed we give them if they are lean and in poor rig and lay it on their backs, first of all; then after they are in good condition they will apply the surplus to the milk-pall. It is always the surplus that we get. And there will be no surplus if we keep our cows just on the verge of hunger. The Farmers' Voice well says that it is the cow which has been kept well that puts the money in our pockets. Cows poorly treated are our farm charges, to be maintained at the cost of what the best cows do. There should be no such charges; every cow should be a producer. Feed Piglet. Should you place a pig in such close quarters that it could get nothing to eat but that which is given it, and confine its diet to corn, it would never make sufficient growth to entitle it to the name of hog. The thing for us to know, then, is how to combine other feed stuffs with corn to produce the desired results. Don't Feed Corn Alone. Tests have shown that the largest gain from feeding cornmeal alone is less than one-half pound per head per day on well-bred swine. Something is needed beside corn, although this is very essential. a WRé SEARCHLIGHT, —$— mea, . . cana OR Wo REET TE WN, MILLER.................Edltor Batered at the Post Office at Wichita, Kansas, as Second Class Mail Matter.

MILLER, Editor. THEIR CONFIDENCE APPRECI. ATED. ‘The editor of the Searchlight apprec- fates the confidence reposed in the po- litical advice given its people during the recent political campaign as was shown by the returns which carried with it vietory for every candidate for councilman for whom the Searchlight advocated. We are glad that our long years of continuous publication in this city has convinced our people that In asking them to support or not to sup- port any man for political office we have only in mind the man or men whom we are convinced will be a greater benefactor to the whole race. In these campaigns we have no per- sonal “axes to grind” and only speak ‘as we believe will best benefit our race as a whole. With us our racial in- terest is a family affair, because we contend that what will hurt one Ne- gro, politically, will hyrt all. W, are not, however, given to spas- modic outbreak, but take a more con- servative view. For this our people will learn to give us credit later. Then again our people have long since Jearned that we are not here as a “political vampire” to suck “blood money” at the expense of our race, but we are here and have made ourselves @ part and parcel of the people among ‘whom w labor, and are willing to make their joys our joys, their sorrows our sorrows, their hard times our hard times, and their prosperity our pros- perity. We are one of them, take their ‘fare and thus wel abor together. We recognize the fact that too long has the Negro been made the scapegoat by which some supposedly “smart Alec” Negro attempts to “hold up” men for oftice, to the complete detriment polit- ical, and otherwise, of the race in the community—the race owes It to itself to 'see to it that ever ycommunity is Yidded of such high-handed imposters. An analysis of the late vote cast will show that in those wards of Wichita where the Searchlight is read most, the respective candidates advocated by the Searchlight won signally. In the first ward Geo. H, Bradford carried with him every Negro voter in that ward who had registered. In the Second ward Chas. H. Luling owes his election to the splendid en- thusiasm of the colored voters of that ward who rallied to his support to a man and woman, No man ever aspired for public office who had the unan- imous support of the colored voters of his ward more compactly with him than did Mr. Luling on April 7th. For which we believes he deeply appreci- ates, In the third ward with the most un- merciful fight waged agaisnt him by the city administration, Councilman A. J. Waddell may be thankful that the colored voters of that ward yoted sol- idly with and for him. In the fourth ward Mr. W. M. Paugh had no opposition but Mr. Delos P, Wood owes his election to the colored voters of his ward. In the sixth ward Messrs. J, H. Rice and Chas. T. Barton, councilmen-elect must give due credit to their colored constituents, We believe the last year's experience will convince our people that the Searchlight is safe to rely on in these campaigns, We could have no ob- Ject in attempting to deceive our peo- ple and ask them to support some white man for office who mwe know would be against the interests of our people. In these matters we adhere to the old rule “Honesty is the best policy.” We take this means to thank our people one and all and trust that our continued relations may be as pleas- ant and congenial to the success of all as it has been in the past. A “good time” is a very good thing at times—but a good home beats them jall and lasts longer. | There are “political hypocrites” as well as “religious hypocrites” and the object of the Searchlight is to show jap thay “politieal Jiypaerites! There is some mention of Geo. H. Bradford of the First ward, and Chas. H. Luling of the Second ward for the next mayor of this town. Hither gent would make a mayor of whom all Wichita would have ample reasons to feel proud. Either will do. The next thing on the docket will be the Orient bond election May 15th. We find much opposition to revoting the bonds. We will say more on that line lise If it should rain on Easter day there will be ynma a mad man and woman who will be disappointed in their in- evil to show their Easter togs. ) } The person who really enjoys Baster is that one who has an Easter each aay. AML Keep your best to the front Senator Wm. Warner of Missouri, had for years previous to his election as U. S. Senator been counted as one of the warm friends of the Negro, and in congress he has taken the leading part in prosecuting the Negro soldiers. What a wonderful change.

"Never spank the children before your wife," advises a contemporary. Yet if you spank your wife you are liable to divorce proceedings. The growing disinclination of septuagenarians, octogenarians and nonagenarians to celebrate their birthdays is getting noticeable. The old codgers are too busy. Still, it is a fairly reliable test of the real freshness of eggs that is afforded by the price on the basket. If you see them coming out of the 20-cent basket they might be fresher. Second Lieut.

Still, we go on burning up children, with occasionally a mixture of adults, for no especial reason that can be discerned except that it is cheaper to build firetraps than safe buildings. A railway through the mountains north of the Adriatic sea, constructed by the Austrian government to build up the trade of Trieste, though only 130 miles long, has 679 bridges and viaducts. It also runs through 49 tunnels. A Philadelphia palmist says that in his 24 years of practice it was a poor day when he did not make $15 or $10. The stronger sex are said to be the most gullible victims, while the women are hard to handle and not so ready to be convinced. It seems strange, says the Brooklyn Citizen, that American heiresses who long for a title do not take advantage the fact, often stated, that baronial and other titles can be bought in Germany and Italy for $200 and up, instead of paying a million or so for a bankrupt estate and a worthless spend-thrift thrown in. Now that the Greenough statue of Washington, which has shivered in inclement weather in front of the cap for so many years, is to be put up under cover in the Smithsonian institution, why not give it a kimono, too? According to Mr. McCall, the figure has been trying to reach out and grasp its clothes since 1841. Some idea of the present importance and value of great tracts of timber land may be gathered from the fact that an Australian company has secured a concession from the Russian government to take out 30,000,000 feet of lumber a year from Siberian forests. Prices are so high in Australia that the Siberian lumber can be transported 8,000 miles to Melbourne at a handsome profit. The inventor of that odorless onion has conferred a great boon on mankind if he can make onion-eaters believe that it is just as pleasant to the palate and as entirely anti-scorbatic as the old kind. But we have our doubts. Your real onion-lover is not likely to believe in the complete gentleness of that bulb unless it advertises itself to visitors for a full 24 hours after consumption. Two naval records were made the other day. A gun crew, in command of a young officer who has been out of Annapolis less than two years, made a hit with every one of 25 shots from an eight-inch gun, and fired nearly two shots to the minute. The Chester, a new scouting cruiser, steamed twenty-six and fifty-three hundredths knots for four hours on a trial cruise, and proved itself the fastest boat of its type in any navy in the world. It is said in England that the advance in democracy has resulted in an increase of books dealing with the peerage. Debrett, the older book of geological reference, now in its one hundred and ninety-fifth year, with its 2,500 pages, is a very different book from the original record. Since the date of Queen Victoria's accession no fewer than 340 peerages and 460 baroneties have been bestowed, making an average of five of the one and seven of the other per annum "cat-tails," which are scarcely utilized at all in this country, are used in England as filling for the upholstering of furniture; but hitherto the supply has been very small on account of the poor results which have been obtained by the use of this material. The closest competitor of "cat-talis" is the Indian fiber kopak, which, even when of poor quality, sells at nine cents a pound. The "cat-tails" which have thus far been sent to England from the United States have varied in price from two to four cents per pound. appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing. Accordingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug-gists. ONE LESSON WHOLLY WASTED. Little Surprise Planned by Billiger McSwat Not a Success. "Lobelia," asked Mr. McSwat, who was rummaging in one of the closets, "have you done anything with that old coat of mine that used to hang on the last hook in here?" "Yes," answered Mrs. McSwat. "I gave it to the Volunteers." "You did, did you?" Well, you'll be sorry to learn, perhaps, that there was a five-dollar bill in it which I was going to give you if I found that coat undisturbed at the beginning of March. "O, I think not, Billiger. I searched it thoroughly before I gave it away." "You're a pretty smart woman, Lobelia, but it didn't occur to you to look inside the lining." "O, yes, it did, and I found the five-dollar bill. I spent it for the rubber plant in the front parlor that you have admired so much and wondered how I managed to buy out of my allowance. You're a pretty smart man, Billiger, but there are times when you don't look the part." There being no further business before the house, Mr. McSwat adjourned without form. Recommended His Wife Irvin Cobb, humorist of New York, was recommended to a lecture management. The latter sought an introduction through a friend, Mr. McVegh. "Come here, Irvin, I want you to meet a friend of mine," said McVegh. After a few minutes' conversation, the lecture man broached the subject of lecturing as follows: "I was just wondering, Mr. Cobb, what you would think of a proposition to do some lecture work next season?" Cobb looked at his questioner for just a moment in blank amazement Evidently such a thought had never entered his head before. Then reaching out his hand confidentially, he said: "I've got it. My wife will do it. She is the best one I know."—Lyceum and Talent. THE MEAN MAN. "I believe," his wife angrily declared, "that if I were dead you would be married again inside of a year." "Oh, no," the mean man replied, "you are mistaken. Try me and I'll prove it." LOST $300. Buying Medicine When Right Food Was Needed. Money spent for "tonics" and "bracers" to relieve indigestion, while the poor old stomach is loaded with pastry and pork, is worse than losing a pocketbook containing the money. If the money only is lost it's bad enough, but with lost health from wrong eating, it is hard to make the money back. A Mich. young lady lost money on drugs but is thankful she found a way to get back her health by proper food. She writes: "I had been a victim of nervous dyspepsia for six years and spent three hundred dollars for treatment in the attempt to get well. None of it did me any good. "Finally I tried Grape-Nuts food, and the results were such that, if it cost a dollar a package, I would not be without it. My trouble had been caused by eating rich food such as pastry and pork. "The most wonderful thing that ever happened to me, I am sure, was the change in my condition after I began to eat Grape-Nuts. I began to improve at once and the first week gained four pounds. "I feel that I cannot express myself in terms that are worthy of the benefit Grape-Nuts has brought to me, and you are perfectly free to publish this letter if it will send some poor sufferer relief, such as has come to me."

Now, it may be true that a liking to "sup full with horrors" is a taste inbred in the natural man, and the emotions, it has been said, which men possess in common are the most profound. That the hoi polloi, the people, should revel in strong, crude sensations, gruesome detail and heartrending situation is therefore, perhaps, natural, though it cannot be elevating or admirable.

The Men have not been here long. I do not pretend to say how long. I may take it that the earth has gone through a long labor of preparation for the existence of the human race. We know less about the history of the human race than we know about the history of the planet. Thus, then, the chances are that if we visit a planet, chosen at random, we shall find it either in the labor of preparation or in the state of rest after activity. The duration of the existence of a race akin to the human race may be but an episode in the life of a planet; and if the earth has been inhabited for only 1,000,000 out of 200,000,000 years, it may be conjectured that there is a chance of only one in 200 in favor of any other planet chosen at random being similarly inhabited. There is a great deal more to be said; this is only the first word, as it were, of an argument; but it is not to be wholly overlooked. In our solar system, however, there are planets of all sizes—one a thousand times bigger than the earth—namely: Jupiter; others smaller than the earth; and there are still smaller lumps of matter careering around the sun, of which one occasionally falls on the earth and can be dug up. There are also large quantities of minute particles down even to separate atoms. The sun is so large that it has not had time to cool even on the surface. It is a blazing mass of gas, and is not likely to be inhabited; nor is Jupiter. Others are cool enough to be inhabited, but it is not clear whether they have reached the period of the human race. One or two may have reached a period at which something recognizably higher than the human race is existing upon it. As to how life originates on these planets, science is ignorant at present. It is an entire mystery. I would not have you build too much on that. I do not think it will always remain a mystery, nor would I have a theologian shaken in his views if science should discover something about the nature and origin of life. I want you to realize that this process of evolution is not a process which negatives or excludes the idea of divine activity. It is, I venture to say, a revelation to us of the manner of divine activity. It is the way the Deity works. The attempt to show that evolution is unguided—that it is the result of absolute chance—fails. What is pointed to is not unguided random change, but guided change. The other could not be done in time. What we have to realize in regard to our place in the universe is that we are intelligent, helpful, and active parts of the cosmic scheme. We are among the agents of the creator. One of the most helpful ideas is cooperation—helping one another. Co-operation—this in a new and stimulating sense—co-operation with the Divinity himself.

One Dose in Time. Saves Nine. Many people persist in riding on the street cars, insufficiently protected by clothing. They start out perhaps in the heat of the day and do not feel the need of wraps. The rapid moving of the car cools the body unduly. When they board the car perhaps they are slightly perspiring. When the body is in this condition it is easily chilled. This is especially true when a person is sitting. Beginning a street car ride in the middle of the day and ending it in the evening almost invariably requires extra wraps, but people do not observe these precautions, hence they catch cold. Colds are very frequent in the Spring on this account, and as the Summer advances, they do not decrease. During the Spring months, no one should think of riding on the car without being provided with a wrap. A cold caught in the Spring is liable to last through the entire Summer. Great caution should be taken to exposure to cold. During the first few days of Spring, the humidity should be kept constant days of Spring, the humidity should be kept constant days of Spring. the temperature of spring; the inability of catching cold is great. No wonder so many people acquire muscular rheumatism and catarrhal diseases during this season. However, in spite of the greatest precautions, colds will be caught. At the appearance of the first symptom, Peruna should be taken according to directions on the bottle, and continued until every symptom disappears. Do not put it off. Do not waste time by taking other remedies. Begin at once take Peruna and continue taking it until you are positive that the cold has entirely disappeared. This may save you a long and perhaps serious illness later on. Bad Effects From Cold. Mr. M. J. Deutsch, Secretary Building Material Trades Council, 151 Washington St., Chicago, Ill., writes: "I have found your medicine to be unusually efficacious in getting rid of bad effects from cold, and more especially in driving away all symptoms of catarrh, with which I am frequently troubled." The relief Peruna gives in catarrhal troubles alone is well worth the price per bottle. I used the remedy for several years now." Spells of Coughing. Mrs. C. E. Long, writes from Atwood, Colorado, as follows: "When I wrote you for advice my little three-year-old girl had a cough that had been troubling her for four months. She took cold easily, and THAT OFFICE YARN. Mrs. A.—I think offices are horrid. My husband is out all day and says he is looking for an office. Mrs. Z.—How funny! Mine is out late nights and says he is detained at the office. GIRL WAS DELIRIOUS With Fearful Eczema—Pain, Heat, and Tingling Were Excruciating— Cuticua Acted, Like Magic Cuticura Acted Like Magic. "An eruption broke out on my daughter's chest. I took her to a doctor, and he pronounced it to be eczema of a very bad form. He treated her, but the disease spread to her back, and then the whole of her head was affected, and all her hair had to be cut off. The pain she suffered was excruciating, and with that and the heat and tingling her life was almost unbearable. Occasionally she was delirious and she did not have a proper hour's sleep for many nights. The second doctor we tried afforded her just as little relief as the first. Then I purchased Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, and before the Ointment was three-quarters finished every trace of the disease was gone. It really seemed like magic. Mrs. T. W. Hyde, Brentwood, Essex, England, Mar. 8, 1907." A Rustic Sarcasm. "Did your husband ketch chills an' fever?" asked the woman who was standing in front of the cabin. "No," answered the woman who was driving a spring wagon. "He wouldn't have that much git-up-an' git. He jes' sot around an' let 'em overtake him."

"Now we can never thank you enough for the change you have made in our little one's health. Before she began taking your Peruums she suffered every thing from too much cough, colds and croup, but now she has been quite a bottle of Peruuna, and is well and strong as she has been in her life." Pe-ru-na for Colds. Mr. James Morrison, 68 East 16th St. Paterson, N. J., writes: "I have given Peruna a fair trial, and I find it to be just what you claim it to be. I cannot praise it too highly. I have used two bottles in my family for colds, and everything imaginable. I can safely say that your medicine is the best I have ever used." SICK HEADACHE CARTER'S LITTLE IVER PILLS.

Occasionally one hears the "hand-mixed" paint of the painter slightly spoken of as "unscientific" and "not thoroughly mixed." The facts are all on the side of the painter and his hand-prepared paint. It is the most "scientific" paint there is, because it is made on the spot to suit the particular purpose for which it is to be used. It is as scientific as a good doctor's prescription. If the painter did not mix it thus it would be as unscientific as a patent medicine. Moreover, the paint which a good painter turns out is made of genuline white lead and pure linseed oil. If he does not mix it himself he is not sure what is in it, and consequently his client cannot be sure. As for not being thoroughly mixed by machinery, that is simply a misstatement. White Lead as made by National Lead Company is thoroughly incorporated with 7 or 8 per cent. of pure Linseed oil in the factory, making a paste. This paste need only be thinned with additional linseed oil to make it ready for the brush. The thorough incorporation of pigment and oil has already been accomplished before the painter gets it. To know how to tell pure white lead is a great advantage to both painter and house-owner. National Lead Company will send a tester free to anyone interested. Address the company at Woodbridge Building, New York, N. Y Gladstone's Thrift. Gladstone's liberality . . . was very great, and was curiously accompanied by his love of small economies—his determination to have the propter discount taken off the price of his second-hand books, his horror of a wasted half sheet of note paper, which almost equaled his detestation of a wasted minute.—Recollections of Sir Algernon West.

This woman says she was saved from an operation by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Lena V. Henry, of Norristown, Ga., writes to Mrs. Pinkham: "I suffered untold misery from female troubles. My doctor said an operation was the only chance I had, and I dreaded it almost as much as death. "One day I read how other women had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I decided to try it. Before I had taken the first bottle I was better, and now I am entirely cured. "Every woman suffering with any female trouble should take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indigestion, dizziness or nervous prostration. Why don't you try it? Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass. MILK CHEESE Sample tint cards free at dealers.

LITTLE VISITS WITH "UNCLE BY" Today is life! Tonight there is a sleep From which we may, or may not, creep! Today the ones we love may hear our praise. While all Tomorrows may be sleeping days! Today the heart that holds our barbs is here. Tomorrow who can penetrate the bier? Aye, all Tomorrows may be filled with woe. If we withhold today the debt we owe! Today the Conscience of a man is clear, Tomorrow, ah! how stained it may appear! Who tarries at the cooling Tempter's door, Has lost his truer self forever more! Then live Today! The Final Day of all! The Fleeting Day before the Judgment Call! And moved within these precious minutes few The kindly words and deeds you meant to do! Blot out your selfish self and greed. And let your stubborn heart give willing meet. Remember that Today you draw a breath— Tomorrow may be troubled sleep—and Death! --- Thoughts in My Den. As we grow older, our interest in funerals seems to increase. Somehow, a girl never can get her glove on over her new engagement ring. Some time some girl will commit murder when a young fellow tells her he is dying for a kiss. Do not waylay your enemy. Rather invite him to your home and feed him on some of the new hired girl's biscuits. Some men might make money by having themselves painted to represent barber poles. They stand around the streets all the time, anyhow. Jud Lewis says it is a sad fact that before a couple know how to raise children, they must raise a family. Of course! That's where grandma comes in! John Temple Graves says that women should receive men's wages. What then, are we married fellows to do—eat at the free-lunch counters and walk to and from work? A Michigan editor complains because the village undertaker is hauling wood in the hearse. I suppose the editor is mad because he is not hauling his delinquent subscribers. In heaven there is no marriage nor giving in marriage, we are told. This must be a great disappointment to willing subjects who fail to make connections with the nuptial life on earth. A Wisconsin editor had to fall down stairs and break a rib to get a rest from his newspaper duties. Would the gentleman please write and tell us if it hurts very much to break a rib? A correspondent writes to know what a "bohunk" is. I'll be blamed if I know. A "bo" is a tramp, a hobo; a "hunk" is a chunk of something. This makes a "bohunk" a medley. I give it up. ✳ ✳ ✳ An Ohio man has invented an apparatus to hold a cow's tail while she is being milked.

A young man was out driving the other evening with his best girl. The conversation turned to fortune telling; he asked her if she believed in palmistry. She looked up blemely and naively looked up honestly. He could foretell more pleasure if I saw the lines in one of your hands."

NEW ARRIVALS IN CANADA NEARLY 300,000 IN 1907. ABOUT SIXTY THOUSAND FROM THE UNITED STATES. Now that it is known that in the year just closed nearly sixty thousand from the United States declared their intention of making their homes in Canada, it might not be out of place to search for some reasons that would bring this about. These people are but following the example of the fifty-five or sixty thousand who did the same thing the year previous, and an almost equal number who the year before that but followed the example of the thousands of the year preceding. An excellent climate, certain and positive crops of grain of all kinds, good markets for their produce, land—and good land, too—at low prices, easy terms of payment, (not forgetting the 160 acres of land given free by the Government, particulars of which the Canadian Government Agent whose name appears elsewhere will tell you about) and then the splendid social conditions. The situation is pretty well sized up by a writer in one of the magazines. Quoting from this article, we find this: "Those of us who made good in the States," interjected another settler as if to continue the story of his neighbor, "have had it easy from the start; a little money is a mighty good thing on coming into a new country. But those who make an entry, or even buy lands at low rates, are able to square things in two or three seasons' crops. There are hardships in building shanties, and then with increasing prosperity getting things into shape for better homes. But affairs go much as in the States. We have the largest liberty in the world; there is more home rule in the Provinces than in the several states of the Republic. Taxes are light and with only a few million people west of Winnipeg we don't get in each other's way. One's friends over the line probably thought we would not live through the winter; and while it is cold, real cold. it is free from the moisture experienced in the east. Schools are good as encouraged by the Government; the enterprising American promoter and Yankee drummer see to it that we take notice of the latest improvements and best agricultural machinery. Altogether we are as near to affairs as we would be on our own farms in the States. Winnipeg bears the same relation to us as Chicago did at home; and Edmonton with the surrounding region advances as Omaha did in the days when we were as young as the boys yonder. We get together much as they did in the granges over the border; the government has established experimental schools of agriculture, and progress in every line is stimulated. This is a great region for grazing," we hear the Calgary citizen continuing, "and then with building elevators of wheat at one dollar a bushel, many of us find time to go over to the live stock exhibition in Chicago or visit old friends during the course of the winter. Every man is taken for what he is worth or for what he can raise; and in this good air and on this fertile soil we intend to show our old friends that we are made of the right stuff—that we are chips of the old block who built up the American West." Too Free Speech. The allegations made during a trial for "blasphemy" raises the whole question of courtesy and kindness in public discussion. Ridicule and sarcasm are permissible, and effective weapons in debate, but mere vulgarity and abuse or irreverence in dealing with subjects that are sacred to others, are not to be confounded with free speech and cannot be tolerated.—Lloyd's (Eng.)

SPRING KIDNEY TROUBLE. Vividly Described by One Who Has Suffered from it. Mrs. H.

Putting It Concretely Although Mr. Lawton was wont to indulge in a sort of language which left his hearers in some doubt as to his exact meaning, yet when he was "put to it" he never failed to make himself understood. "No, I shouldn't want to live in a house like Philander's," he announced to Mrs. Lawton on the evening of his return from a visit to a nephew. "His cellar, now—it's most desperately overflowed whenever the weather is anyways damp." "Just what do you mean by desperately overflowed?" asked Mrs. Lawton. "I mean," said her husband, mildly, "that all they had to do was to open the door that led from the kitchen down cellar, and the apples come floating right in on to the kitchen floor. Is that plain to ye?"—Youth's Companion.

Washington, April 16.—The department of justice today decided to institute proceedings under the interstate commerce act to compel the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railroad Co. to furnish accommodations to Negro passengers paying first-class fare equal in all respects to those furnished to white passengers. The case grew out of a complaint filed with the interstate commerce commission against the railway company by a Negro woman, alleging discrimination. After an investigation the commission ordered the railway company to desist from its discrimination, which order, it is asserted, has not been complied with. The matter was called to the attention of the president, who referred it to the attorney general. Instructions to the United States attorney at Nashville are being prepared, and it is expected that suit will be begun in that city within a short time. THE REVIVAL SERVICES AT EL DORADO, KAN. Held at the Second Baptist church and conducted by the pastor, the Rev. S. S. Bandy, closed Sunday night with ten converts, who are as follows: Mrs. James Buckman, Mrs. June Wills, Mrs. Julia Keeling, Carl, Clarence, Beatrice, and Gene Wills, Robert Buckman and Clyde Finley. Were baptized and Communion was held to twenty-two (22). Mrs. Jas. Balance is able to be out again after a few days' illness. A man in Youngstwon, Ohio, stole a red-hot stove in order to get the pies in the oven. He certainly had a real "pie mouth." The 6,000 creameries of the United States puts out 500,000,000 pounds of butter each year, most of which is consumed in this country. Americans are truly "butter eaters."

What up-to-date wraps in becoming designs elderly women will wear this spring is a dificult problem for those past their first youth to decide, says a fashion writer in the Philadelphia Ledger. OF course, if all women were built @like there would be little difficulty in Suggesting snitable modes; as it 1s, each type must be planned for sep- aratoly. As usual, the tall, slender figure has €t all her own way, for there are very few models now worn that she will got find becoming. I saw one among the advanced styles the “other day that I thought especially gdod for this type. It was of heavy black silk Three-quarter length and fitted the Shoulders smoothly. At about four fnehes below the collar in the back the material began to flare with much the effect of the Watteau, brought about by a seam down center back cut on the bias. The closing was slightly Mouble-breasted and braid formed the trimming. This was set on to suggest @ yoke in the back. ‘The sleeves were on the baggy or- Pee eae ca anata HOSIERY TO“ MATCH SHOE TOPS. Mirror in Dressing Room Should Be Placed to Give a View of the Feet. " “An idea of the season is to have ie shoe tops and the stockings match. It is quite the thing to take ‘one’s shoe tops along when getting fhose. There should not be any di- viding line between the tops of the boots and the beginning of the stockings. “And the shoes should always look mew. New strings make a boot look mew. They are like new ribbons on a hat or new ties in a low shoe. *E regard a boot looking glass as an ‘ebsolute essential where good looking feet are concerned. Few women have & mirror low enough to see a boot fight from the sole up, and I advise the woman who wants nice looking feet to have a bit of glass or mirror set into the wall right negt to the floor. “St can be panel shaped and tall jnough to take in the whole figure, er it can be merely a couple of feet fm height. But, a long, slender panel mairror reaching from the floor up to @ Leight of six feet will prove im- mensely convenient to a woman who ‘walues her good looks.” y SWmhiceel ehck Pheciot ins PRA La: A decidedly smart little model In a ‘spring coat for small girls that could be fashioned at home is of navy blue mohair, made in box style, closing donble breasted by means of large smoked pearl buttons. ‘A shawl collar finishes the neck, and tumback cuffs complete the cout @leeves. ‘Phe distinguishing feature is an added set—collar and cuffs—ot white pereale with the tiniest of black hair- line stripes edged with embroidery set on without any fullnéss, / Style in the Back. * tt fs the style to pay special atten- tion to the back and the prettiest of gowns have backs that exactly match the front and are even more elaborate- fy trimmed.

Fashionable Spring Wraps. € Some of the most costly wraps for @ey use show a tendency toward dark ‘der, but not too much so; they al- lowed, however, of being gathered into loose cuffs. ‘This should not be a difficult model to make at home, if due care is given to the bias seam. To support a tape or firm ribbon should be used when stitching, ‘The empire models, too, are all be- coming to this type of women; in fact, the only designs this class need es- chew will be the short, close-fitting Etons, short coats generally, and any- thing too youthful in the way of style, color or trimming. The stout and short woman can- pot dispose of the wrap question so easily, if they would be smartly gowned, To my thinking, the stout, middle- aged woman of average height looks her best in coats modeled after the Louis periods—with certain modifica- tions—whether of silk, velvet or cloth. For instance, wraps should end mid- way between knees and waist line. The back should be tight fitting and the fronts curved under the arms, but straight and loose at front edges. A waistcoat, tight fitting, coming from the underarm seams and of a contrast. ing fabric, is a necessity. The collar should be long and narrow, rather than in broad pointed rever effect and preferably darker than the coat. For this decoration black panne vel- vet looks well on black silk and black satin 1s smart on colored cloths, The hip pieces should never be light. Some, I know, match them with the vest material. ‘This is a mistake, as attention is then drawn to the size of the hips, something to be avoided. GOWN OF BLUE VOILE, One of the Prettiest of the Recent Afternoon Costumes. The afternoon gown here displayed is of fine voile in a lovely shade of wedgewood blue, with a rather wide cc stripe. The skirt is slightly draped on the left hip, where tho folds are held in place by two large enamef buttons. When the drapery is lifted at the bottom of the skirt tha underskirt shows the satin stripes disposed horizontally. On the bodice the satin stripes are arranged to form box-plaits both back and front, which are adorned with silk-embroidered rings. ‘These plaits continue the shoulder line a little way down the arm with something of the kimono ef- fect, this short outer sleeve being edged with a band of rose and gold silk embroidery and left open to show the puffed undersleeve of Alencon lace. The bodice is cut out in a round decolletage over a vest of Alencon and filet lace, and is edged with the rose and gold embroidery. The same beau- tiful embroidery is introduced in the folded waistband, which rises high at the back and is there finished with a big buckle covered with the voile. shades. The new tones in velvets, which, in them, take on a lovely sil- very sheen that is highly effective in drapery, are rosewood and mahogany, garnet, old maroon and odd blues which seem to hint of purple. There is an incomparable rich showing of black wraps. Those in liberty silk are the newest. They are usually picture coats, the Dalmatian or split armhole being the most novel. They are com- bined with rich embroideries, with fine lace and with heavy guipures, but invariably are lined with light silk. Mole, mauve, silver gray and violet are among the shades I have person- ally noted in these wraps, some of which have an interlining of the thin- nest velling—Harper’s Bazar. An Inexpensive Fabric. Among the inexpensive fabrics 1s an imitation of satin charmeuse that is lovely. It comes in a variety of delicate colorings, and can be bought for much less than one dollar a yard. It is reasonably wide, too, not requir. ing an undue quantity of material. In the matter of trimming one can exer- cise one’s own taste, and sometimes the best ensembles are the result of the simplest combinations, MAKING LITTLE PROGRESS oo pit ” AS\ sera ae Ui spel ot » 2 AES ch CG, a Las seca Na a an a it | KMConciesy Xe — a 3 Ve X Lom pe) [a vy ce | I Ip SAE [Ba Jeay 7 Windia AO SE inet eae CUA caer ome eee WV RI ET ee a Wa ieee Or Be |e SR Len 22 CUR A ee ene vs . = EMTUORE.

SENATOR FORAKER MAKES sy LONG-PROMISED ADDRESS ON | BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR. | aad | GALLERIES WERE FILLED WITH VISITORS a | In Speaking of the Investigation the Ohio Senator Said It Had Not Been Intended to Embarrass the Presi- dent or Anybody Else—Opposed the Warner Bill, Washington, Apr. 15.—A areful an- alysis of testimony taken in the in- vestigation of the shooting up of Brownsville, August 13-14, 1906 and an argument in favor of the re-enlistiment of the colored soldiers of the Twenty- fifth regiment, United States infantry, was made in a speech delivered Tues- day by Senator Foraker of Ohio. The senate gave an attentive hearing and the galleries were filled with visitors, the majority of them negroes. “Before entering upon this labor,” said Mr. Foraker, “it may not be amiss to remark, in view of the many mis- statements that have been made, that the purpose of this investigation has not been to embarrass the president or anybody else; nor has it been to make any capital’ of any kind, political or otherwise, against anybody or for any- body.” ‘The senator reviewed the various in- eldents and orders that led up to the discharge of the men without honor. Most of the witnesses against the soldiers he said, testified four different times. “Their testimony so given is sufficiently contradictory to show that it is unreliable,” he said, “but, aside from the contradictions on account of the darkness of the night, many things that they testified to could not have possibly been observed by them The circumstantial evidence against the soldiers concerning the shells and bullets after the shooting, turned out, Mr. Foraker deciared, to be favorable to them because of the impossibility for them to have had such ammunition without that fact being developed in the examinations that were made. Be- sides this, no adequate motive—in fact, no motive whatever is shown for such an assault on the town, Mr. Foraker compared bills pending before the senate providing for the en- listment of the soldiers, one intro- duced by Senator Warner of Missouri, giving the president authority to re- enlist them if he should be satistied that they did not participate in the affray and that by Mr. Foraker making re-enlistment mandatory upon the sol- dier taking an oath that he did not participate or know anything of the guilty parties concerned in it. Mr. Foraker’s bill also annuls the record of discharge without honor, a provision not included in the Warner bill, and annuls the president's order debarring the men from enlistment in the navy, Regarding the discretion given tne “president in the Warner bill, he said: | He concluded with a very compli- mentary reference to the colored sol- diers, “ahey are,” he said, “typical repre- sentatives of a race that has ever been loyal to America and American insti- tutions; a race that has never raised a hostile hand against our country’s flag; a race that has contributed to the nation tens of thousands of brave defenders, not one of whom has ever turned traitor or faltered in his fidel- ity. In every war in which we have per- mitted them to participate they have distinguished themselves for efficiency and valor. Faithfully, uncomplainingly, with pride and devotion, they have performed ali their duties and kept all their obligations. They ask no favors because they are negroes, but only for justice because they are men.” Fo ag ae oo? Le ee isn ae SEAR SHLIGHT STAY AWAY FROM PANAMA. No Place for Workingmen Unless They Have Situations. Washington, Apr. 15—In a recent statement emanating from the chair- man of the Isthmian canal commission it is pointed out that the commission recognizes no obligation to employ men who “drift in” and generally it is declared they are phystcally unfit for the work in the isthmus. The com mission employs reerniting agents in the labor centers who examine end forward desirables, and discourage those unfit from independently com ing to the isthmus. The statement follows: “It is the policy of the commission to give preference to the men that have been recruited by its own agents and as conditions are at present should be discouraged from taking such a step.” In February the day labor, including the Panama railroad that is, ordinary labor, numbered 25, 965, about 5,000 of whom were Eu: ropeans, the balance being from the West Indies. ‘Winesk on” Blestea tine!
