THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT Wagstaff In The Race For Governor Announces His Candidacy For Republican Nomination. PLANS ACTIVE CAMPAIGN Believes Party in the State Wants To Uphold President and Platform ELEVENTH YEAR Wagstaff For Announces His Republican PLANS ACTIV Believes Party in To Uphold Presid Independence, Kans. March 21 Thomas E. Wagstaff has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor of Kansas. In a statement prepared for the press, he said: "I am convinced that the Republicans of this state who believe in party organization and are anxious to support and uphold the Chicogo platform and President Taft in his efforts to carry out the pledges of that platform and to procure the enactment of legislation by congress in the interest of his party and the people, are disirous of having a candidate for the office of governor at the next primary in this state who represents their view point and stands for support of the national party and the national administration. "From the many letters and other communications that have reaed me from that kindo Republican throughout the state urging that I become such a candidate I have concluded to enter the race and stand for the Republican nomination for governor at the August primary, and in due time will get out among the people of the state and make my position clear on all present issues, Mr. Wagstaff is a lawyer He gratuated from both the art and the law department of the Kansas University. After leaving college he located in Coffeyville and began the practice of law. He wrs made city attorney, and then was elected county attorney of Montgomery county. At that time joints were running in full blast in the county and Wagstaf closed them up and filled the county jail with the jointists. That was before prohibition had become popular in the county, and it took nerve to pursuit such a course. Wagstaff thereby earned a state-wide reputation and two years ago was urged to enter the race for attorney general of the state. At the last meeting of --- the Kansas Day Club he was elected president of that organization and his speech of acceptance while short had the right kind of a ring to it and before the left the hall Taft Repualicans began urging him forward as a candidate of the national element of the Republican party for governor. At first Wagstaff gave little thought to the suggestions, but after he came home he recieved so many letters from all parts of the state asking him to enter the race that he finally concluded to do so. Mr. Wagstaff is the same age Bryan was when he made his first race for president, 36 years He is a capable lawyer, an uncompromising advocate of law entorcement and a strong campaigner and those who know him best look for him to win out against Mr. Stubbs. OUR PREDICTION Some seven or eight years ago the Searchlight urged upon the colored people who were renters in the down-town districts to move futhur out and buy homes We said to them then that in a course of time as the town grew they would be forced out from that district at a time when the steady march of the city would preclude them from buying elsewhere. Very few paid any attention to our warming and some even hooted at the idea. Now come a complete fulfilment of this prediction. We are informed that all the colored fam ilies renting in down town district will be notified to va date in the near future and some have already vacated. They now find also, as we said then, the "outside property" is so very high they cannot purchase. It is a pitiable condition—but one which all had due and timely notice—had they heeded it. DR. BROWN—Office 517 N. Main St. MARCH 26th 1910. There has been no club organized among the colored wamen of Wichita of which the editor of the Searchlight has taken a greater pride id keeping before his many readers than he has the doings of the Golden Link Art (G. L. A.) Club, Infact, tae editor at times, feels some what of a fatherly relation to the club, as it was the first club organized here among our women and was organized after the editor had published several articles in the in the Searchlight and spoken personally to several ladies of the need, at that time, such a Club. Every since the afternoon of its organization still fresh in the editor's memory—we have felt a near relation to this Club. We have from year to year watched the club—seen its enchanges, in members, etc, seen them come and go. How things have changed—but the Searchlight through all these long, weary years is still the same. We are intersted in the work and welfare of the G. L. A. Club to the same extent that we are intersted in the work and welcome of the other splendid clubs among our women in Wichita—and that is—the good they can do for our race. Our work and interest alovg this line is not that we expect any any great reward, or in a manner, that our work is appreciated. We expect that even in so righterous a cause as this that some may seek to discretid us and our effort. Be that as it will or may—our mission is race help and our reward will come. It is not expected that ALL, even in our woman's Club, will give us due credit—but we shall not falton in encouraging every good move for the up lift of our people. Gn Thursday night, March 31st 1910, the G, L. A. Club under direction of Mrs. Dr. F. O. Miller, will give a play at Garfield hall under the stage name "Under the Laurels"—we wish to urge all to attend this play and help these ladies. The proceeds go to charity. A PECULIAR PERSONAGE Every since the first Negroes were landed on American soil in 1619, bucked, chained and gagged to that old vessel, the white man has been studying the Negro—the more he studies his subject—the more mystified the white men get—they just can't understand the Negro—that's all. And to make matters worse for white man—he never will understand the Negro. No race of people are capable of such a range of possibilities, such an endurance of extremities, such insurmountable patience, and such a variety of changes as is the Negro. He will grow and get fat where others will starve and die. No Negro beggers, no Negro tramps, no Negro Anarchists, no Negro Strikers, no Negro Assassms, this in the face of conditions. No small wonder,the white man can't understand the Negro. The Negro surely is a puzzle—and not a problem, For a Good Job of Lead and Oil. SUTTON PAINT CO. TRY US Bishop A. Grant, bishop of the 5th Episcopal district of the A. M. E. Church and the trustees of Western University are raising a fund to erect a monument on the Campus of Western University Quindaro, Kansas. This is a worthy cause and is hoped that Wichita, Sedgwick County and the great Southwest will be well represented in the names of donors. Let Wichitans and those from the great Southwest show their colors and respond liberally Below we publish the open letter from the committee in charge is setting forth the monument plan Det us rally to the memory of our lamented benefactor, John Brown, of Ossawatmie. This letter below speaks for itself W. N. Miller, Editor. JOHN BROWN MONUMENT Kansas City, Kas. Dec. 2, 1909. It has been fifty years today since John Brown was executed: the scence, in a field a furlong South of Charleston, eight miles from Harper's Ferry. According to Wm. E. Connelley in his history of John Brown: "Posterity invariable comes to a right verdict on the actions of men. Every fact that will in any way effect this verdict becomes fully kaown In such an instance, it is as possible to conceal a wrong or suppress a virtue as to blot out thun, The strength of John Brown life and the grandeur of his char acter lie not in his having been always right. [No man has ever been so. But they lie in his having done his duty as we saw it. Perhaps he failed in judgment, but never in intention nor by evasion. When he came to Kansas he was an old man, and his experience taught him that we had been trying compromise and proclaiming peace for half a century during whice slavery had made conquest after conquest, marched from triumph to triumph until those forces of our country resting upon justice, humanity, the Declaration, the Constitution and the Christian religion said it was useless to continue longer the deceyton. He saw the inconsistency and injustice of a government founded upon liderty, enslaving millions of its people. So much in advanec of his age was John Brown that it took the Civil War to show us that he was right. After forty-eight years, the St. of Kansas has crested a monument to the everlasting memory of John Brown. F. B. Sanborn, Esq. of Concord, Mass. in the author of "Life and Letters of John Brown:" Colonel Richard J Hinton, of Brooklyn, N. Y. has written his great book, "John Brown and His Men:" Mr. Eugene F. Ware has given us a splen did poem, "John Brown;" and Mr. Wm. E. Connelley has furnished to the country his work, "John Brown" which we think every American student should read. We have heard discussions and have met agents, Senators, Representatives, judges, and historians who were interested in perpetuating the memory of the noble character under consideration, but to this day there is not a shaft or a monument anywhere erected by the people to his memory. June 7, 1909, the Bishop and Presiding Elders of the fifth Episcopal District of the A. M. E. Church resolved to erect upon the campus of Western University a monument to the memory of John Brown. Wednesday June 9, 09, the Trustees Board of the Western University passed resolutions indorsing the plan and resolved to co-operate with the Bishop and Presiding Elders in raising the funds for the purpose indicated. The Puget Sound California, Colorado, Kansas North Mission and Missouri Conference have all endorsed the monument plan. It is agreed that each person in the United States who is disposed to do so should have the privilege of assisting in this worthy cause, therefore, we have opened books for popular donations. We think it is sufficient for the country to know that such a movement is in progress and those who have a fair knowledge of the man's lite, wnose memory we desire to cherish and perpetuate, will send donations without furthur solicitation. Post office money orders drafts checks, or case may be sent to Bishop A. Grant, 532 Washington Blvd. Kansas City, Kansas. The name of each contributor and the amount donated will be preserved and read at the unveiling of the monument. The Imperial Council of Scostish Rite Masons have already sent in the first contribution to this fund. A. Grant, Chairman J. D. Barksdale J. R. Ransom NO.51 N. C. Buren, H. W. King W. B. Brooks, J.

STORIES ARE NOT CONFIRMED The Deposed Forester Quietly Stole Away and Boarded an Ocean Liner Friday, Presumably to Join Roosevelt. Washington, D. C.—Washington woke up to the fact that Gifford Pinchot, whom President Taft recently deposed from the position of chief forster of the United States, was on the ocean already four days out, on the steamer President Grant, enroute to meet ex-President Roosevelt, probably at Naples. The widely current rumor here is that Mr. Pinchot goes to meet the returning traveler in compliance with a summons received by cable last Friday. Nobody in a position to know would either confirm or deny this part of the story. This is to be taken for granted that the ex-president will receive from Mr. Pinchot, with whom he was on peculiarly intimate terms, his first direct information bearing on the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy from any of the principals in that dispute. It was rumored here that Senator Root, a member of the investigating committee and secretary of state in the Roosevelt cabinet, had written to Mr. Roosevelt at Khartum on the subject Senator Root would not talk about the matter and confirmation was not obtainable from any other source. If it were true, it might afford at least a partial reason for the supposed cablegram to Mr. Pinchot. Mr. Pinchot's friends here scoff at the suggestion that he would quit the investigation of the controversy in which he is so deeply concerned on the eve of Secretary Ballinger's going on the stand, in order to seek, uninvited, an interview with the ex-president. On the other hand, those who know Mr. Roosevelt say he is too good a politician not to realize that to give Pinchot and unsought hearing before he had had an opportunity to discuss the matter with President Taft or some member of his political family, would be generally regarded as a direct slap at an administration he would naturally feel bound to support. Mr. Pinchot slipped away from Washington quietly last Friday evening and next day sailed from New York for Europe. His absence on Saturday from the Ballinger-Pinchot hearing, at which he has been a constant attendant, attracted little attention, though he had not intimated to his associates there that he was to go away for a long trip. Thomas R. Shipp, secretary of the National Conservation association, said the former forrester had gone to Europe for "a much needed vacation." He admitted Mr. Pinchot had made up his mind rather suddenly, but professed to know nothing of the reported Roosevelt-Pinchot meeting. Later Mr. Shipp issued the following formal statement: Mr. Roosevelt probably knew little or nothing of the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy until he reached Khartum, Egypt, Monday of last week. There he doubtless learned from American newspaper correspondents that his friend had been ousted from the government service, and of the investigation which has followed. Mr. Roosevelt also found awaiting him, the rumor has it, a bulky letter from former Secretary Root, reviewing the first year of the new administration, and vigorously defending it, and probably outlining the latest developments of the investigation of the Ballinger-Pinchot affair. STRIKERS LOSING GROUND. Philadelphia, Pa.—All negotiations are off and the fight will go on, was the announcement made by the leaders who are conducting the street car and general sympathetic strike. A big meeting of labor leaders was called to consider the situation. Hundreds of sympathetic strikers, wearying of the long struggle and loss of wages, have returned to work and each day the leaders find it harder to hold the strikers together. The allied building trades strikers, however, still maintain a solid front and have voted to remain out until the carmen's fight is ended. The committee of nine having charge of the proposed general statewide strike was expected to meet at Wilkesbarre to consider the advisability of calling the strike at once. Wrecked Ship on Reef. Valdez, Alaska.—The Alaska Steamship company's steamer, Farralon, which went on a reef in Cook Inlet, January 21, has gone to pieces. The engines, covered with ice, are still on the reef. Five men, who had been standing by the wreck, reached the shore in small boats, built huts of drift wood and watched until taken off by the mail steamer Dora, which convexed them to Kodiak, whence they were brought to Valdez by the steamer Portland. CANNON SHORN OF HIS POWER CANNON SHORN OF HIS POWER CANNOT EVEN BE MEMBER OF RULES COMMITTEE. By a Vote of 191 to 155 the House Adopted Norris Resolution—Cannon Still Speaker. Washington, D. C.—Joseph Guerney cannon of Danville, Ill., is still speaker of the house of representatives. But he has lost the ancient prestige and weapon of that office when the allied Republican insurgents and Democrats took from him not only the chairmanship of, but even membership in, the all-powerful committee on rules—the chief asset in his stock of power. Amid scenes of wildest disorder, for the like of which one must go back to the exciting days just prior to the Civil war—even those times migh not duplicate it—the veteran speaker, almost 74 years old, stood erect and defiant, his head "bloodied but unbowed." At the end, when a big Texan Democrat accepted the speaker's daring challenge and introduced a resolution to fling him out of the speakership, the Republican regulars and insurgents, with few exceptions, rallied with almost unbroken party front and gave him a vote which almost offset the "repudiation of Cannonism." This is what happened: By a vote of 191 to 155 the Republican insurgents, voting solidly with the Democrats, the house adopted the resolution of Representative Norris, Republican, of Nebraska, requiring a reorganization of the rules committee, increasing its membership from five to ten and declaring the speaker ineligible to membership thereon. THEIR GUESS AT AGE OF EARTH Scientists Divide the Salt in the Sea by Amount Brought Down Each Year by Rivers. Chicago, Illinois.—Old mother earth, who has closely guarded her age for her entire life, is 400,000,000 years old according to an article which appeared in the current number of a geological publication of the University of Chicago. In more scientific phraseology, the approximate age of the earth, it has been discovered, may be determined by dividing the amount of salt in the sea by the amount brought down each year by the rivers that empty into it. Sir John Murray, Prof. Joly and M. Dubois, all famous geologists, stand back of the new method of computing the age of this terrestrial sphere. BROUGHT PEACE TO FIREMAN Question of Wages is to be Arbitrated and Other Two Disputed Points Were Arranged. Chicago, Illinois.—Pace is assured in the controversy between the 32,000 locomotive firemen of 49 western railroads and the general managers. The result is a most effectual result of the Erdman act, which provides that the chairman of the interstate commerce commission and the commissioner of labor shall act as mediators in all disputes where the public will be inconvenienced by a stoppage of interstate commerce. After nearly five days of pleading by the mediators a basis of settlement was reached that assures a settlement. SUIT CLUBS ARE LOTTERIES Kansas State Labor Commissioner Has Served Notice that Prosecutions Will Be Commenced. Topeka, Kansas.—W. A. L. Johnson state labor commissioner, served notice that prosecutions would be started against suit and shirt clubs that offer to dispose of clothing by chance. Numerous complaints have been made to the department that these suit clubs in offering to give a man a chance to get a suit for $2 or half a dozen shirts for $1 were conducted as a lottery. An investigation and opinion shows that these clubs are actually conducting a lottery in violation of the law. OLEO MEN TO LEAVENWORTH Two Chicago Dealers Convicted of Violating the Federal Laws Sent to Prison. Chicago, Illinois—Edward Enders was sentenced to three years in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth and Henry Hinn to one year in the same prison for violating the oleomargarine laws.

ROCKFILLER FOODWITCH PACKERS MAY FACE PRISON PACKERS MAY FACE PRISON INDIVIDUALS AS WELL AS CORPORATIONS ATTACKED. Indictments Found at Chicago Against National Packing Company and Ten Subsidiary Corporations. Chicago, Illinois.—In the most terrific attack ever directed by the government against a trust, the department of justice has laid the foundation for criminal proceedings against Chicago packers in which penitentiary terms are provided as the legal penalty. This foundation included indictments against the National Packing company and each of its ten subsidiary corporations and the filing of a suit calculated to end the corporate life of that $15,000,000 concern. The suit to dissolve the National Packing company was filed in the United States circuit court within five minutes after the federal grand jury had returned its long list of indictments against the packing concerns in Judge Landis' court. Should the suit to dissolve the National Packing company succeed in its purpose, it was declared, the individual packers named in that suit as defendants would have been proved violators of the anti-trust law and, as such, amenable to that law and subject to its penalties. The penalty so provided is a maximum of $5,000, a penitentiary sentence of one year, or both. TOLD OF BRIBERY CONSPIRACY A Pittsburg Councilman Rady to go to Prison Implicates 60 Present and Former Members. Pitlsburg, Pa.—Almost on the very threshold of the state prison, which he was to enter to serve six years' sentence for bribery, Former Councilman John F. Klein is reported to have made a complete confession of the bribery conspiracy of 1908 in which he implicated 60 or more present and former councilmen. The confession is said to have been brought about by the failure of Klein's friends whom he is alleged to have protected by his reticence to come to the rescue of his family whom he would leave penniless in entering prison. The confession is said to have been the cause of recalling the grand jury which was to have been dismissed, for an extraordinary session. A PEACE BANQUET IN NEW YORK President Taft and C. W. Fairbanks Were the Guests of Honor of Arbitration League. New York, N. Y.—The American Peace and Arbitration league held a big banquet here, the guests of honor being President Taft and former Vice-President Charles Warren Fairbanks.

FORTY-FIVE KILLED IN WRECK Two Engines Running Backward Drawing 13 Coaches Piled up in a Cut When Tender Left Track. Marshalltown, Iowa. — Forty-five persons were killed and about 40 injured in the wreck of Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific passenger trains No. 19 and No. 21 at Green Mountain. The trains had been made into one. Two engines, going backward, were drawing the long line of 13 coaches at the rate of between 25 and 30 miles an hour when the tender of the first engine jumped the track in a cut. This plunged the first engine into the side of the cut, half-burying it. The second engine swerved around and, planting itself full across the track allowed the heavy coaches to train up. A Pullman next the second engine was crushed to half its original length. A smoker and day coach following were telescoped. Only the floor of the day coach remaining to resemble a car. The occupants of all these cars were either killed or injured. Many passengers apparently were killed outright. Heads were severed from bodies and arms and legs were cut off. The wreckage was almost crimson with blood, some of the bodies being crushed beyond recognition by the mass of twisted rails and splintered cars. A few of the passengers were found still living, with a rod or a splinter impaling them in the wreck. Decapitated bodies were picked up and it was almost impossible to assert correctly the dismembered parts. LET NO GUILTY BUG ESCAPE Prof. Glenn of Kansas University Says Now is the Time to Hit the Chinch Bug Hard. Lawrence, Kansas.—Hit the chinch bug hard for the next two weeks, is the advice of Prof. P. A. Glenn of the entomology department of Kansas University, who has been working on the problem of controlling the pests for the last few months. "It is easier to destroy the bug now than to try to fight their offspring a few months later. Burning the grass in the waste corners and meadows at this time will kill nearly 90 per cent of the bugs, if the burning is done in the afternoon when the bugs are up out of the ground. An actual count in Kingman county last week from afternoon burning, showed that 87 per cent of the bugs were destroyed." SEND DEMOCRAT TO CONGRESS Eugene N.

And what in the world is that big black patch out on the lawn?" "Nelly," he replied mournfully, "after I had starved for two whole days, you wrote me that the key of the pantry was in the pocket of your bolero. Well, I don't know a bolero from a boxplaited ruffle, and I was desperate, so I took all the things out on the lawn and burned them. Then I found the key among the ashes."—Success Magazine. "How Sharper Than Serpent's Tooth." An irritable old farmer and his ungainly, slouching son were busy grubbing sprouts one hot, sultry day, when the old man suddenly stumbled over a small stump. "Gosh durn that everlasting stump!" he exclaimed. "I wish it was in hell." The son slowly straightened up from his work and gazed reproachfully at his father. "Why, you oughtn't to say that, pap," he drawled. "You might stumble over that stump ag' in some day."—Everybody's. Getting Rid of It.

Coffee blots out the sunshine from many a home by making the mother, or some other member of the household, dyspeptic, nervous and irritable. There are thousands of cases where the proof is absolutely undeniable. Here is one. A Wis. mother writes: "I was taught to drink coffee at an early age, and also at an early age became a victim to headaches, and as I grew to womanhood these headaches became a part of me, as I was scarcely ever free from them. "About five years ago a friend urged me to try Postum. I made the trial and the result was so satisfactory that we have used it ever since. "My husband and little daughter were subject to billious attacks, but they have both been entirely free from them since we began using Postum instead of coffee. I no longer have headaches and my health is perfect." If some of these tired, nervous, irritable women would only leave off coffee absolutely and try Postum they would find a wonderful change in their life. It would then be filled with sunshine and happiness rather than weakness and discontent. And think what an effect it would have on the family, for the mood of the mother is largely responsible for the temper of the children. Read "The Road to Wellville," in books "There's a Reason."

They are no skilled actors. Their art is nature's own. They are humble woodcarvers, smiths, artisans. Anton Lang is a potter, is 34 years of age, is tall and lithe, and speaks English fluently. He was chosen for the part because of the extraordinary resemblance he bears to the accepted idea of Christ as pictured by the old masters. One critic says of him: There has been no such typical and truly German embodiment of the Nazarene during the whole of the century as in Anton Lang. When he is hanging on the cross it is just as if the wonderful picture of the crucifixion by Overbeck at Stresa were before us. Though he is the central figure of the play and is honored and almost revered by the whole community, he is in no way spoiled, and carries himself with a simplicity and humility which is characteristic. He is essentially a son of the people and this is only fitting the part he takes. He seeks to follow the example he has ever before him, and is quite untainted by the spirit of that commercialism which is creen- OURISTS have been rushing from all parts of Europe to Venice in the last month to get there in time for the Easter celebration. Those who plan to go to the beautiful city of canals and venerable architecture make special efforts to reach there at the Eastertide, for the most romantic and picturesque celebration of the great takes place in the city of the dawn. spring holiday takes place in the city of the dogs. Easter in Venice is unlike Easter in any other city in the world, and once to have experienced the day there is never to forget it. Easter, St. Mark's and the pigeons. This is the combination that makes the spring holiday specially interesting. At all seasons of the year the famous pigeons that stuff and stuff the food down their fatted crops till they can hardly waddle are a magnet to the crowd of sightseers, but especially do they make their appeal at Easter time, for they are genuine Easter birds. Years and years ago they held the same relation to the Easter cuisine that eggs do in the new world, but that was before the populace came to the point of regarding them as something almost sacred. Now no one would think of putting a finger on their smooth plumage. For more generations than anybody knows the admired pigeons have fluttered from point to point on the sacred architecture of St. Mark's. They have made their homes in nooks and crannies of the basilica; they have built comfortable nests at the feet of the famous bronze horses over the portico. In fact, there is hardly a place in the whole impressive pile that has escaped their keen little eyes and been turned into account, providing it promised to afford a hospice. Venice loves these pigeons, with a devotion that would be amusing to the outside world were it not honest. And especially does it warm up to them at Easter titme, for it was then, according to the ancient tradition, that they first came to St. Mark's. According to the ancient story, it was Palm Sunday that the great doge made a formal visit to the Plazza San Marco. With him came his entire brilliant suite of officials, including the foreign ambassadors residing in Venice. The presence of this host of dignitaries, the blare of the silver trumpets that heralded their arrival and the S INCE December of last year the inhabitants of the little village of Oberammergau have given most of their time to earnest rehearsal of the Passion play. Once in every ten years the villagers enact the greatest drama in the world, in performance of a solemn vow made by their ancestors 300 years ago. Some poor fellow had brought the plague to the vallage and the villagers in fear betook themselves to their church and vowed that if the plague should pass from their midst they would devote themselves to a representation of the Passion. Only once has the tenth year passed unhonored; that was in 1870, when the Franco-Prussian war drew away the male players, but the play was only delayed till the next year. The play begins in May and runs till the end of September. The performance commences at 8:00 a. m. and lasts till 8:00 p. m. with an interval of two hours, and the weather is not allowed to interfere in any way. It makes no difference as to the costumes getting wet, as there are two complete sets for each player. The Passion play sets forth the life, death and resurrection of Christ. There are 17 acts and each of the acts is preceded by a tableau, illustrative of an Old Testament incident, and pointing prophetically to the events of the act. The 17 acts are divided into three parts. The first, from the entrance of Christ into Jerusalem until the hour of his being taken prisoner on the Mount of Olives; the second, from then to his condemnation by Pilate; and the third, from the condemnation until the glorious resurrection of the Lord; the whole ending with a tableau showing the ascension. Acted, as it is, on a huge stage, with the background of the mountains, with the climax at the mysterious time of evenfall, perhaps with the thunder and lightning of nature in the crucifixion scene, it is more than the art of the stage; it is the convincing expression of a great and simple faith. There are 700 persons in the play, of whom 270 are children. The speaking parts are given out by the officials of the community and there is no rivalry or jealousy shown. There has always been a Lang in the play, and this year Anton Lang will repeat his Christus of 1900. It is the highest ambition of the Oberammergau youth. The honor of enacting the Saviour is more than anything you can offer him, and next to that the part of one of the disciples. So with the unmarried maidens, the T magnificence of the procession deeply impressed the people, so that all who could be accommodated filled up the street and buildings. The doge was so delighted by the welcome the populace accorded that he determined to show his bounty in a manner that should be remembered, so he had a large number of pigeons, each one weighted by having a piece of paper attached to its legs, released from the gallery of St. Mark's, over the portico where the bronze horses rear their gigantic bodies. The crowd made a rush on the pigeons, eager to get the choice meal they afforded, and the unfortunate birds, hampered by the weights on the legs, were caught in large numbers and taken home to form the feature of many a succulent repast. But not all were caught. Some of them escaped and sought refuge high up in the dome of the church, where none could come near them. The fact that the birds found their hospice in the very dome of the tomb of St. Mark was not without its effect on this highly superstitious populace and they at once decided this to be a token from the good saint that his sheltering mantle was spread over the birds and that none of his true worshipers would do them harm. Thus this early number of pigeons fluttering in fright to the top of the temple became the forerunners of the multitude that files around the church to-day. Now they are sacred from the profane hand of man and as an extra tribute it is the habit at Eastertide, the anniver sary of their recognition by the saint, to give them extra food and attention. It is for this reason that everybody who is in Venice on Easter Sunday provides an extra supply of food for the pigeons of St. Mark's. This does not mean that they lack in powder the remainder of the year. It simply means that the coming of the holiday brings an extra supply. And the birds enjoy it. None can say that they fall to enter into the spirit of the holiday. They gorge and stuff until it is a marvel that the air is not filled with feathers from the exploding bodies of the birds. It is not the first ceremonial of the day, this feeding of the pigeons. Not until the great morning service in St. Mark's has been held does the church permit the holiday fun to begin. In the morning everybody goes to St. Mark's; that is, everybody who can get in, which is quite a distinction, for residents and visitors alike all think only of this one church on the most important Christian holiday. JESUS WASHING THE MILK ANTON LANG AS CHRIST JESUS TAKING LEAVE OF HIS MOTHER In all the church calendar, there is no more joyous day than Easter day, which commemorates the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour from the dead. And this is as it should be; for the resurrection of Christ is the most vital and fundamental JESUS PRAYING IN Easter Sabbath is a day of joy. Organs peal it forth, sublime music emphasizes it, sermons repeat the strain, and multitudes feel the joyous thrill that comes from the fact of Christ's resurrection. But every Sabbath day should be observed in joy. The Sabbath should not be looked upon as a dreary and tiresome day. Moreover, it will not be, if we will enter into the service and worship God as sincerely and heartily as we do on Easter day.—Rev. S. H. Doyle, D. D. The man who dislikes you nearly always likes those you dislike. The term "Easter" is supposed to have been derived from Ostera, or Eastre, the goddess of spring, and the personification of the morning. The feast of this goddess was celebrated by the ancient Saxons in the spring of the year. This ancient pagan festival was utilized by the early Christian fathers and by them turned into the Christian observance now known throughout Christendom as "Easter." There was a difference among the eastern and western churches as to the date of this observance, but in 325 A. D. the council of Nice declared that the Easter celebration should be held on the first Sunday following the full moon, on or after March 21. If the full moon should happen on the Sabbath, then Easter should fall on the following Sabbath. The Christian Easter commemorates the most vital fact in Christianity. In these days it has been made an occasion for the display of flowers and millinery, but underlying all else is the basal fact that Easter commemorates the resurrection of Christianity's founder. Christianity, as a divine revelation, stands or falls with the establishment or overthrow of this fact. If the resurrection of the prophet of Galllee was not an actual and accomplished fact, then his claims to the spiritual leadership of mankind are spurious. He based the success of his mission on the fact of his resurrection. If he did not rise from the grave, he was a blasphemer or an ignorant fanatic. If he did rise, as he predicted he would, then the seal of divine truth was upon all he taught and all he wrought. There are many who cannot believe in the miracle of the resurrection. For them the Easter celebration is all foolishness. But multitudes believe with unfaltering faith in this triumph of the God-man over death and the grave. To them Easter is a day of cheer, hope and joy. The basal fact of Christianity gives foundation and force to their faith and their hope. More joy bells will peal forth their notes of victory to-day, more glorious anthems and oratories will break forth from human hearts and voices, more human tongues will speak and sing the praises of humanity's Christ than at any time since the angels said to the affirmed women at the gateway of the tomb: "He is not here, he is risen, as he said; come, see the place where they laid him." The Christian faith is too deeply rooted in the heart of humanity ever to die away and the annual Easter celebrations serve to strengthen that faith. JESUS PRAYING IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE ing into the conduct of the village. While every scene in the play centers on Christus, the role is not long in comparison with other speaking parts. It is the spiritual tranquility of Christus which pervades the whole play and is more potent than the spoken word in stirring the audience to a full realization of the teaching of the play. Among the peoples of the earth, except those of Australasia, the Americans are the most liberal meat eaters. In fact, the whole scene is a rioting panorama of flowers. As in every other city of the civilized world where the Christian religion is supreme, efforts have been concentrated to getting flowers into the city for the great day, but under these southern skies it is not a question of forcing hothouse plants—the natural growth in the open air supplies all that could be asked, and everybody, rich and poor, buys liberally of the luscious blooms. In no other country in the world do the blooms attain such magnificence and it is not an uncommon sight to see a gondola literally laden with violets, which can be bought so cheaply here that for the price of an ordinary bouquet in an American city an armload can be purchased. Against the perfect blue of the Venetian spring sky St. Mark's is outlined. The whole city is going there. The wealth and aristocracy of a city that was ancient when the new world was in swaddling clothes is making its way to worship, reclining against the black cushions of the gondola and lolling in the exquisite comfort that comes from this most lulling form of transportation. The perfume of flowers is in the air, the beauty of the dark skinned, brown-eyed and black-eyed daughters of the city of Desdemona helps the picture richly. Everything is comfortable, romantic, inspiring. The service is a wonderful display of rich raiment, of gorgeous processional, of richest music, of most brilliant coloring. Easter hymns peal forth in most enchanting tones and the lover of the beautiful finds every sense cajolent. At two o'clock in the afternoon the yearly tribute of food is paid to the pigeons and in some mysterious manner they seem to know the coming of the day that seems so much of honor done to them. But it is at night, on Easter evening, that the full beauty of the Venetian life and Venetian is felt. Every part of the city appears in a new guise; every palace, monument and church takes on a glory that is not to be described. Gliding past the gondolas filled with holiday pleasure seekers, listening to the ripple of the waters under the bows of the boats, making calls on those living in the beautiful palaces fronting on the canals and reveling in the atmosphere of romance that seems to surround every detail of the life of this ancient city, is to get impressions not to be duplicated elsewhere—impressions that explain the eagerness of tourists to spend an Easter day in Venice. The Weekly Easter The Weekly Easter fact of the life of Christ. Had he remained in the tomb, his birth would have been forgotten long ago, and Christmas greetings and joys would not exist. Had he remained under the power of death, his death on Calvary would have been considered nothing more than that of a mere man, like that of Socrates and others, who have given their lives in attempts to uplift mankind against the forces that make for evil and that destroy the good. But when he burst the bands of death asunder, he gave the crowning proof of his Deity, and added to Bethlehem and Calvary a significance and luster that will never grow dim. There is little wonder, therefore, that the Christian world has laid especial emphasis upon the day upon which the Saviour arose. If we take Easter Sabbath as an illustration of how we should observe every Sabbath of the year, it may be most profitable to us. Easter Sabbath is a day of worship. No other day in the year attracts so many people as Easter Sabbath. People who seldom ever darken the doors of a church are present in great multitudes on the Easter day. But God should be worshiped every Sabbath day. For this especially God set the Sabbath aside. And to worship him we must rest from worldly employments and pleasures. EASTER Almost all housekeepers start out in getting experience in the culinary art in cooking for two, but we find few recipes for such a small family. The proportions in all ordinary recipes are made for a family of five or six and the young cook is often at a loss, when dividing the recipe, to get correct proportions. The following recipes may be safely followed: Take one-fourth of a cupful of hot milk, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of sugar, one teaspoonful of lard, one-fourth of a yeast cake dissolved in two tablespoonfuls of lukewarm water. Put into a bowl and add the yeast. When the milk is a little cooled, so that the yeast plant will not be killed, add flour enough to handle, then knead until the dough is elastic to the touch. Put back into the warm bowl which has been scraped and buttered, and let rise closely covered until double its bulk. Now knead again and make into a loaf, let rise again until double in bulk, then bake in a moderate oven. A perfect loaf of bread should be well rounded over the top, a golden brown in color, a crisp, tender crust, fine crumb and good flavor. Cream one tablespoonful of butter, add half a tablespoonful of sugar, one-half a beaten egg if large, or a whole one if small, five tablespoonfuls of flour sifted with a pinch of salt and a half teaspoonful of baking powder. A Few Don'ts. Don't forget to dry the wash boiler after using it, as if rusty it spoils the clothes. Don't leave stoppers out of bottles, or the cover off of the baking powder can. Don't put hot food into the refrigerator. Don't let the fires burn with the dampers open and heat all going up the chimney. But all my fears are scattered to the winds When o'er the fragrant pot I can preside. —Olive Green. Generalities. The juice of stewed cranberries with the addition of lemon and sugar to taste makes a delicious drink. Cover plaster of paris figures with a thick coating of starch and water, let it dry on and the dirt will brush off with the starch. Put an oyster shell in the tea kettle to gather the lime from the water. Freshen velvet by holding it over a steaming teakettle or a hot iron covered with a wet cloth. This raises the pile. If the velvet needs cleaning use gasoline. Delicious sandwiches may be made of creamed cheese and chopped red peppers, the canned variety. Any piece of woolen wrung out of gasoline makes a good duster, but care must be used to keep it away from open fires. Make croutons for soup by cutting stale bread a half inch thick, butter it well on both sides, cut in half-inch squares and brown in the oven. In serving a poached egg place it on a circle of bread sautéed in a little butter for a change from toast. Table linen may be ruined by continued use of a scraper instead of a brush. The scraper roughs up the linen and breaks the threads. Foods that have strong odors, that may fill the laundered clothing with odors, should not be cooked on ironing days. Groceries, as well as meats, should be kept in a cool, dry place. Jot down on a slate or tablet the articles getting low in the kitchen, so that the supply may be kept up. Nellie Marwell. Ever Thus. "Just my luck," said the man with the grapefruit countenance. "What is it?" queried the tired listener. "Well, at one time I thought of studying for the ministry, but I didn't." "What has that got to do with the present high price of meat?" "Well, I didn't study for the ministry, and now I'll be hanged if there hasn't been a big fund left for poor preachers."—Boston Herald. Bishop Green, of Ballarat, complains that there is too much praying for the king. "While Anglicans are loyal, we do not want to pray for his majesty five times in the course of one service.

Apropos of Valentine's day, a passenger on the Bermudian said: "Mark Twain once told us, in a little Valentine day speech on this boat, of an Irish wooper who had the right Valentine spirit. Acceptance or rejection he could take with equal grace. "Will ye be my valentine?' he said, on February 14, to the girl he loved. "No,' she replied; 'I am another's.' "He heaved a sigh and said: "Sure, thin, darlin', I wish ye was twins, so that I could have at lastе the half of ye." Desperate Remedy. "Yes," said the musician in a reminiscent mood, "my wife fell in love with me and married me when I was learning to play the cornet." "Are you sure," asked his friend, "that she married you because she loved you, or to make you stop practicing on the cornet?" Placing Him "Look at that old man with the egg stain on his shirt front." "It is only the vulgar rich that are fond of such display." Woman's most glorious endowment is the power to awaken and hold the pure and honest love of a worthy man. When she loses it and still loves on, no one in the wide world can know the heart agony she endures. The woman who suffers from weakness and derangement of the heart of a amish woman can power to sway the heart of a man.

Fighting Disease in Greece Consul General George Horton has made a report from Athens on the conspicuous work of Greek physicians in combating the country's chief scourges—malarial fever and tuberculosis. An annual average of 2,000 persons die each year from the former, while in epidemic years, due to excessive rains, the number exceeds 6,000, which was the case in 1905. The population of Greece is 2,433,806. The people have been interested through lectures, pamphlets, etc., to fight the malaria-carrying mosquito by draining stagnant ponds and throwing petroleum on them. A tuberculosis congress will be held at Athens next year, to which will be invited not only physicians, but all the mayors and other prominent people of Greece. DRY SHAMPOO BETTER THAN SOAP AND WATER. (From the New York Graphic) "Once in two or three months is as often as it is advisable to wash the hair with soap and water," says Claribel Montague, the beauty expert. "The rubbing, drying and rinsing, together with the action of the alkali in the soap—especially the alkali—tend to make the hair coarse, hard and brittle. Too much moisture causes the hair to become thin and lose its color. "A simple and satisfactory dry shampoo is made by mixing four ounces of powdered orris root with four ounces of therox. Sprinkle a tablespoonful of this mixture on the head and brush thoroughly through the hair once or twice a week. That is all there is to it. This treatment not only keeps the hair light, fluffy and lustrous, but therox produces the growth of new hair." Difficult Choice. "Which do you prefer," said the idle conversationalist, "life in the country or in the city?" "I'm not sure," answered Miss Cayenne. "It depends on whether I am in a mood to be attacked by a cow or a trolley car." The Point of View: Newlywed.—What, $30 for a hat! Why, it's simply ridiculous, my dear.

Are you setting the right kind of an example before this child by patronizing race enterprises yourself? This is quite a serious matter—if looked at slightly by some. Think of it!! IOLA KANSAS Golden Tabernacle No. 2 held a splendid meeting last Saturday The Tabernacle is doing fine, all working in peace and harmony. Dtr. Lizzie Gordon who has been sick for the past three weeks is improving. The revival at the A. M. E. Church has closed. They had a number of additions. WEIR KANSAS Covenant Tabernacle finished initating their new members on Wednesday. The Busy Bee Club was a good success considering the times. The entertainment given by the W. W. Club of Washington Central School was a delightful one for such short preparation. Rev. Ewing of Chanute will preach at St Jno. Thursday at night. The C. M. E. Church are preparing for a glorious meeting in April, lasting five days. Dtr. Lightsn attended Lodge on Monday. Mrs. Gisby of Independence is a pleasant visitor in this city who is visiting the home of Mrs. H. H. Adkins. If you want a good, hearty laugh, just wait and attend the "Slab-Town" convention to be given at the New Hope Baptist Church soon. It is a sure cure for the blues and will remove that tired feeling. Hand-bills, programs and announcements soon. Watch for them. Patronize the Merchants and Business Houses that solicit your trade through "ads" in the columns of your race paper.
