widows and orphans in tbeir own mission

and being adopted In India. Whole villages
have discarded their Idols and been Chris

Christian worker, Mr. J. W. Chavis. spoke.
He first acknowledged the negro's lack of
knowledge, ability and energy, and he also
proved that however well educated the
negro was, he lacked the opportunity and
the chance to do things. .The white man
will not give blm this opportunity. Where
white people are smiled upon, the negro
with as great capabilities is scorned. It Is
not social equality the black man Is after.
It Is opportunity to compete with the white
man and to be acknowledged as his co
worker and equal, Intellectually and mor
ally, when he haa shown himself capable
and deserving. His solution of the problem
Is In Cbrstlan education and the dignity of
labor.
Rev. Chavis has been a student at Clarke
university, but he Is now interested in the
building up and enlargement of the Bennett
college of South Carolina, a co-educatlonal
colored school. A large amount was sub
scribed for the cause and all who listened to
his eloquent plea saw the negro presented

"The Needle's Eye" Is a remarkable
story of modern American life not
of one phase, but of many phases,
widely different snd In startling con

country and city. The pure, free air
of the hills, and the foul, stifling at
mosphere ot the slums; the sweet

stench ot crowded tenements are
equally familiar to the hero in this

found in vine-covered cottages, in
humble farm-houses. In city palaces,
and in the poorest tenements ot the

Others sparkle with genuine humor.

FOOD IS THE ONLyTrOBLEM

Reach the Sorth Pole,
Say Dr. Cook.
NEW YORK. Sept. 19 Dr. Frederick A.
Cook of Brooklyn, who was with Lieutenant
Peary on one of his Arctic trips and with
the Belglca expedition to the south pole ne
chief surgeon, expt esses the opinion that
Peary's latest endeavor was by no means a
failure, and that the explorer has added
"material to the annals of science which
will be found invaluable, in fact, more val
uable than the actual discovery of the pole
Itself."
"All this talk about the terrible dangers
to be met before reaching the pole Is sheer
rot," continued Dr. Cook. "A man, all
things taken Into account. Is Just as safe
on the Arctic Ice fields as he is in New
York. There are no fever germs there,
no contagious diseases, no miasmatic
swamps, no sewer gas, no decaying veg
etables, no rotting rags. Everything is in
Ice. There Is no danger In traversing the
Ice field i, nor from the cold, which Is not
so severe as the cut of the saline blasts on
the Atlantic seacoasts.
"It Is the food question," he added, "that
closes up the way to the pole."
When this problem Is solved reaching the
pole will. In his opinion, be quite a simple
undertaking.

The report In full contains thirty page3
of typewritten copy and reviews at length
the evidence of witnesses. A majority of
the charges are not sustained by the board.
The boards holds that none of the Inmates
of the asylum were mistreated, and that the
food furnished was first-class In every re
ject. It Is recommended that female nurses be
allowed an Increase In salary in all InBane
hospitals of tho state.
Respecting the charge against Trustee
Murphy, the board attaches little credence
to the testimony and believea the charges
were greatly exaggerated. .

UNCLE PETER ON NEW YORK:
UNCLE PETER had refused to live on the Hightower after
three days in that splendid and populous caravansary.
" It suits me well enough," he explained to Percival, " but I have
to look after Billy lirue, and this ain't any place for Billy. You
see Billy ain't city broke yet. Look at him now over there, the
way he goes around butting into strangers. He does that way
because he's all the time looking down at his new patent-leather
shoes, first pair he ever had. He'll be plumb stoop-shouldered
if he don't hurry up and get the new kicked off of 'em. I'll
have to get him a nice warm box-stall in some place that ain't
so much on the band-wagon as this one. The ceilings here are
too high fur Billy. And I found him shootin' craps with the
bell-boy this mornin. The boy thinks Billy, bein' from the
West, is a stage robber, or somethin' like he reads about in the
Cap' Collier libr'ies, and follows him around every chance he
gets. And Billy laps up too many of them little striped drinks ;
and them trench-cooked dishes ain t so good fur him, either.
He knows they'll always be something all fussed up with red,
white, and blue gravy, and a little paper boquet stuck into 'em.
I never knew Billy was such a fancy eater before."

wrote you for advice, which 1 followed.
After taking one and one-half bottles of
Peruna I am entirely cured, and can recom

Mr. William Bauer, Burton, Texas, a
Glnner and Miller, writes:
"Some years ago I lost the hearing In
my left ear, and upon examination by a
specialist, catarrh was decided to be tho

regained my hearing for a time but I soon
lost It completely. I commenced to take
Peruna according to directions and have
taken eight bottles in all, and my hearing
is completely restored and I shall sing
the praises of Teruna whenever an oppor
tunity occurs." Wm. Bauer.
