Blessed is he that considereth the
poor, the lord will deliver him in time
of trouble.
Mine enemies speak evil of me when
shall he die, and his name perish.
About one week ago in visiting one of
my neighbors where a funeral took
place, I had been visiting the home
for several weeks because I thought
I was needed, 1 did not stand back
the family was not my color. I dressed
and laid out the child, even if it was
not my color, I went and showed res
pect and christianty that is what I call
Christianity.
I was fortunate enough to meet a
sister Deaconess at the funeral she
came and bought a bouquet of flowers
and I had been arranging flowers on
the casket anp sister Deaconess said,
what has that colored women got white
strings on her bonnet for, oh, how she
disgusts me was the remark, sister
I)eacone6s made she went out doors
where the family and the other people
were and said, it just disgusts me to
see that colored women with white
ties on her bonnet, why don't she
wear blue or red ties. I am not so Well
trained as others profess to be but
still I thank God I am able to carrj'
the name of Jesus where it is needed
praise God. If I had of had on a
bandana handkerchief on ray head and
a pair of mocassin on my feet 1 suppose
she wculd of come to me and said how
do you do Auntie, but be cause my
bonnet corresponded with hers she
turned her head several different times
still I did not think it correspond with
hers so much for hers had on wash
silk and mine only had mull strings
well 1 have a straight through ticket
ticket and I am going through no mat
ter how many steps some one else takes
just like mine either white or black.
When she came in 1 was delightcb 1
thought I would learn some informa
tion from sister deaconess. 1 expected
to see her receive the minister and in
troduce him to the parents of the de
ceased child at my astonishment the
minister had to go out doors and ask
some little children what was the
child's name and ago. No more at
present from M. Callander to sister
Deaconess Humphry, for further infor
mation call at 909 Western Avenue.
I would be pleased to see you, do'nt
be afraid of me becaue my face is color
ed, for God has said, '-none but the
pure in heart shall enter the kingdom
of heaven,"
DE1TH OF
Last week was chronicaled the sad
passing from this earth, of Prince Bis
marck of Germany, one of the
greatest statesman that the 19th
century has produced. He was
greater then the "Grand Old Man"
of England,tWm. Gladstone the En
glish Liberal leader, because he lifted
Prussia up to her present strength by
his iron will power. He has made
the German Empire from a loose
weak league of states until to-day
she is one of the strongest Kingdoms
of the earth mighty in her indiviual
strength. To tell you his life, would
be to reproduce the history of the
German Empire for the past fifty
years. History, newspaper, or poet
can ever tell of his wonderful
acheivements upon the battlefield,
in the Halls of the German Council
or his impression on the world.
He stood in the public arena van
quishing his enemies and encourag
ing his friends by the po„wer of his
iron will and supurb eloquence. To
study the life of Pri nceBismarck or
Gladstone is a wonderful striking
object lesson of human possibilities
for every youth. He made nations,
moulded a destiny for his country,
and all Europe has been blessed by
his presence. He has fallen, the
last of the mighty oaks to fall. To
day all Germany mourns his loss,
likewise the civilized world.

steamships Arizona dropped anchor in
the stream yesterday afternoon. To
day she will dock to be out fitted for
earring troops to Manila. The Ari
zona which was bought by the United
States' Government ten days ago is one
of the finest passenger vessels that
ever entered San Francisco harbor.
The price paid for her has not been
made public, but it must be about
8750,000,00 as she was thoroughly over
hauled and refitted a year ago at Glas
gow at heavy expense. She was the
fastest ship afloat in 1880, being built
in 1879 by John Elder and company of
Glasgow, and it is 400 feet long 40 feet
broad, 30 feet deep and of 3147 tons
burden. She was the center of attrac
tion in the harbor and to-day will doubt
less be overran with visitors. The
Arizona left Seattle Monday at 0:10 P.
M. and made an average of fifteen
knots on the trip down. She has no
cargo nor ballast except 1300 tons of
coal for her own use. The steamer
has six decks-hold, aslop, 'tween main
hurrican beckone and bridge. Her
troops-carrying capacity is at least 1,
700, there being a great aeria of avail
able space for berths 'tween decks.
The aft cabin accommodates over 00
passengers and is lighted with electri
city, there are three large bathrooms
with solid marble tubs, silver faucets,
needle and shower baths. The engine
are triple expansion with five double
end boilers and two auxiliaries. While
the Arizona was lying at port two ac
cidents happen Proffessor Bral of Wash
ington vState University fell through
an open hatchway and broke his neck,
and young man fractured his hip. All
are getting aloDg quite well those who
have not got pneumonia will get along
all i-ight but those who have pneumnoia
will not get well as every case so far
has died, Corpral Daniel S. Newsome
of company D. from Des Moines died
from pneumonia, ?«t the ocean beach
the boys go every Sunday and yon can
walk up the beach for five miles it is
crowded every Sunday. The Cliff
House is the finest summer resort in
the world you can get a good sight at
the sealoins and their island, also a
good view of the ocean. You can get
hot or cold water to drink, the building
is very fine and covered over with heavy
glass it is about
800
feet long 4oo feet
wide and has three hallways in it,
they have some very fine swimming
racks. It is said that the Iowa boys
get the steamer Arfzona for Manila,
as soon as she is completed everything
is finished but the beds for the troops
and she will be ready for sea within
ten days Colonel Loper was down to
day to inspect the boat and he said
that he will bet $1.00 that we go on it.

A COLORED BOY
Wins the American
Championship.
Philadelphia, Pa.—Eddie Bald, the
three-time winner of the cycling champ
ionship of Anieriea, and a large Held of
crack racing uien who follow the national
oiicuit, so jealously protected by the
League of Amerioan Wheelmen, were
compelled to dip their colors to anew
champion at the Tioga track July 10.
A crowd which competent critices placed
at close to 7,000 people saw Major Taylor,
the unassuming colored wonder, (airly
ride the champions off their feet and win
With comparativo ease a title which all
the crack riders of the world were anxious
to win—the one mile chamblonship of
America.
From afield of twenty-four of the fast
est cycle racing men in the world—the
piok of America's flyers aud the reoogniz.
ed champions of Europe—the little Negro
won with ease. Taylor's victory was a
most popular one, and the crowd cheered
him from the time he began his sprint on
the back stretoh until he crossed the tape
fully ten legths ahead of Bald, the "Can
non Ball," three-time winner of the cham
pionship of America. It was a victory
Well Won and the colored boy just rode
the ohampions to a standstill. It was a
victory that left no doubt as to the super
ior riding qualities of the little colored boy,
He simply proved that he was the fasest
man of the entire lot of ehambions gath
ered at Philadelphia's pioneer cycle racing
track, and left an impression on tbe
minds of the thousands of lovers of the
great sport who witnessed the race.—

This city should have more color

streets and working for contractors,
and by presistent effort we can have
them, we must be willing to work as

above all save what we earn—Money
is what we want to make our power
felt—Get money and we will get the
necessary recognition, without it,

OUR DUTY TO TIIE
PHILIPPINES.
Why should we squibb]e nbout the
Philippines? Why should we try to
evade our responsibilities? Why should
we shrink from the position? We said
we would maintain when Dewey start
ed to the Philippines. The opeople of
the Philippines expected us to claim
the fruits of Dewey's victory, our own
people would be unwilling for the Pre
sident to
consider any policy that would
shirk our full duty to our Philippines
allies.
This is not the time for us to take a
backward step nor is it the time to
head timid counsel even though it
should come from the President's Cab
net. Every one understood that war
and victory would bring new obliga
tions as well as new responsibilities
with this all before us, we had the cour
age to beg in the war, shall we now
take the courage to meet all obligation
incurred bv the war? Afters300 years
of Spanish rule over the natives of
these islands, can those people expert
any security for their life or property
from tho hands of the Spanish officials
when Dewey destroyed the Spanish
controler in the Philippines the natives
welcome the Americans as the fore
runners of a new era. Since May 1st.
they have been conducting a success
ful war against Spain.
Shall we now surrender these people
to the mercy of the men against whom
they have made war in our interest.
We would say no a thousand times, the
United States should free them from
the oppressive rule that have held
them for three centuries and again our
commercial interest in the far East
need protection. How can we accom
plish t.iat end better than keeping
these islands? It would open a new
markets for us, why cast aside such an
opportunity that lies within our grasp
to do our duty.
FOUR GREAT RACE
QUESTIONS.
Hey. Reeves and the Stewards Hoard
have arranged to give an entertain
ment on the 15th and 10th, for the
benefit of the Stewards department.
Each subject will be placed in the
hands of those that have the ability to
make them very interesting. Evory
man, woman and child should hear
these important questions, respecting
the American Negro, to be answered
by eight intelligent members of the
race, in this city August 15 and 10th.
First—Is the present tendency of the
American Negro toward race unity,
J. L. Thompson, speaker.
Second—How is tbe Negro deporting
himself as a man and citizen.
Third—What effect shall the develop
ment of Western or American society
have upon the Negro, shall he become
a part or be rejected and destroyed by
it.
Fourth—The American race prejudice
arrives from what source? From educa
tion or religion.

FAIR IN ST. JOSEPH
Iowa and Nebraska have abandoned
their state fairs for this year and there is
no doubt but that the coming Old Fash
ioned Fair to be held at St, Joseph, Aug
ust 22 to 27, will be the greatest event ot
the Middle West, in the way of an agri
cultural exposition for 1898. The prem
ium list now ready and being sent out by
the thousand, in answer to the many ap
plications received by Seoretary Palmer
L. Clark, is a decided novelty, reflecting
great oredit on the able, management and
every interesting page furnishes the most
postive evidence of the success of tbe un
dertaking.
This year, as last, Secretary Clark pro
proposes to pay all premiums in cash as
the judges make their awards and to treat
every patron fair and alike, there will be
no favoritism. The same efficient police
system will prevail that last season pre
vented disturbance of any kind. Free
evening entertainments are being arrang
ed for at beautiful Krug Park and Athletic
Park Ball Grounds, embracing the cele
brated colored Jubilee Singers at the form
er, and all the latest Moving War Pictures
at the latter place. This season, as last,
the management promises a list of speolal
attractions, including balloon ascensions,
circus, parades, concerts, etc., and that a
fifty-cent admission ticket purchased at
the gate entitles the holder to see every
thing on the ground without additional
expense. Liberal and business methods
with every promise faithfully carried out
will be the invariable rule at the St.
Joseph Old Fashioned Fair, August 22 to
27,1898.
We as a people spend enough
money in the dry goods stores to
support one big store, why cant we
get two good clerks in the stores?
We can, but it requires a sacrifice of
time on the part of some. Let us
hnrry up and have the ice broken
and have these avenues opened to
our boys and girls.

Aboutone month ago my child, which
is fifteen months old, had an attak of
diarrhoea accompained by vomiting. I
gave it such remedies as are usually
given in 6uch cases, but as nothing
gave relief, we sent for a physician and
it was under his care for a week. At
this time the child had been sick for
about ten days and was having about
twenty-five operations of the bowels
every twelve hours, and we were con
vinced that unless it soon obtained re
lief it would not live. Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
was recommended, and I decided to try
it. I soon noticed a change for the bet
ter by its continued use a complete
cure was brought about and it is now
perfectly healthy.—C. L. BOGOS, Stump*
