being chosen as a delegate to the Anti.
African Slave Trade Convention held in
Luzerne, Switzerland. 1889
He referred TO the fact that before the
Christian era, many of the holy people
who have since been canonizsd we're
colored. During the days Of slavery the
attitude of the Catholic Church toward
the negro was one of love Among those
to which its influence reached the mar
riage tie was kept as sacred as it was
among their masters. 1t could exert but
little Influence then, as slave owners
were very jealous of outside interference
with their slaves and Cardinal Gibbons,
when young priest, was threatened to
be tarred and feathersd If he persisted in
certain line OF action toward the slaves.

They Are an Illustration Of the Ten
dency of the Times Toward Little Waists
and Weak Bodies.
Anyone who VI its the art Museums may be
struck with the fact that the feet of all the
ancient statutes seem very large, They do
seem so, but IL viii be found chat for symmet-
rical perfection these feet could not be better,
and yet the feet OF the average man or woman
to-day are much smaller than Ia ancient
times.
one might natuslly ask, Why is this? The
answer is not uifllcult Modern custom and
fashion have contracted feet TO their present
small proportions; shoes have taken the place
Of sandals Indeed. IL IS only ona illustration
OF many. of what advanced civilization and
fashion do. The waists of women in ancient
days were not so small as In the present age
of corsets. The health Of women in ancient
times was better than IN our present day of
soc al demands, household cares and hurried
living. Women are weaker than they once
We're They feel depressed, blue, weak and
languid, where they were once bright, strong
and active. Such modern troubles require the
nest advanced treatment and the best physi
clans. and most scientific authori les OF the
present day declare that pure stimulants are
a necessity in most lives. IL Is a significant
fact, however, in connection with this state
ment, that only pure stimulates are ever of
value. while impure are an actual harm.
The best and purest OF all stimulants now
known 10 the public is Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey IL IL indeed the only medicinal
whiskey known 70 the professions or the pub
lie. IL has been tested by years of use and Is
far more popular to-day than ever before in
