A STARTLING FACT.
SIXTEEN Pea CENT or LtE Insurance
APPLICANTS ReJeoreo ON AoooUNT or
DISEASED KIDNEYS.
The Trouble Comes From Lack Of Care,

Dr. Lambert the general medical direc-
tor of the Equitable Life Insurance Com
pany, n Y, said;
We reject sixteen per cent Of the appca-
tons made TO s for insurance, and have saved
tine entire expense OF this medical depart
me1t by the rejection alone of applicants who
had discussed kidneys, and who died within two
years after rejected ihem.'
This appalling statement coming as II
does. from such high medical authority.
should have the attention Of our citizens.
There is no reason TO day, why people
should allow kidney disease to get such
q hold on them.
Nature sends her warning in the slight
pain in the back, poor circulation of the
blood, sediment in the urine. When any
of these symptoms appear, DR.. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy should be
taken in small doses at once, and thus
drive the poison out of the blood and
restore the kidneys TO healthy action.
To our knowledge this is the onlymedi-
cine that surely and effectually cures this
almost universal complaint.
We note the happy recovery of Mr..
Oscar Lambert, of Jerico, Mo, whose
case has been talked of in the papers the
world over,

TRIED THE NEW SHELLS
Highly Successful Tests With
the Vesuvius' Guns.
NAVAL OFFICERS Much PLEASED.

Five Of the Patent Rombs shot from the
Three Long Pneumatic Guns Four
Probably Exploded Could Easily Have
hit Vessel Coming Toward Her.
PoRr ROYAL, S. c., Feb 1t.-The
Vesuvius continued her experiments with
the pneumatic guns here yesterday. the
trial was very satisfactory one to the
examining board, because the sea was
little rough which tended to detract
from the accuracy of the guns
The Nesuvius got under way at II
O'Clock and in less than 81 minutes had
gotten into line and fired three proieC-
tiles
With her signals flying she steamed
slowly up to the 9, 1000 yard buoy head
ing slightly to the north Of the target
line, A momentary pause followed while
she swung slowly into position. Then
the signals dropped and instantaneously
almost, there followed the white cloud of
compressed air indicating the firing of a
shot.
The first shot fell so yards short of
the target, but exactly in line with the
buoy which marked the 3, 600 yard range;
the second shot fell 10 feet short.
"A blliil 6uOu was nItl a lew lllDlutllua
later falling short of the target but
practically on the buoy line, and the
fourth shot fell on the buoy line but
the fifth and last shot Of the day, fell
so close to the target that the spray
thrown up by the projectile obscured
the target An Instant later an eXplo-
sion was heard and the water behind the
target was disturbed.
The second and fifth shots fell so ac-
curately that they would have fallen on
an ordinary sloop stationed for a target.
The officers of the Vesuvius are greatly
elated over the results of the days tests.
They will be continued to-day.
The firing was a remarkable proof of
the accuracy with which shots can be
| placed, using all three guns. The five
shots at 2 900 yards range We're dropped
within distance of so yards of each
other on a direct line for the target If
| fired at a ship coming toward the Vesu-
vius all of them would have struck her.
The doubt as to the action of the fuses
! is not at all astonishing. This is the first
time that the fuse has ever been fired.
! The failure of this particular fuse would
have no effect upon the valve of the
| pneumatic tube as torpedo thrower, for
another fuse could easily be found, But
/ five shots are not enough to decide
whether or not there will be failure.

FLOOD IN TRENTON.
Ice jam at Perriwig Causes Part of tn
City TO be Submerged.

Ice Jam at Perriwig Causes Part of the
City TO be Submerged.
TRENTON, Feb. 1.-THE ice which has
closed the Delaware river for six weeks
broke at Lambertville, IS miles above
here, yesterday afternoon, and at once
started on rush down stream.
Opposite Trenton the ice cut a channel
and passed out smoothly, but at Perriwig
bar, two miles below the city, the sailing
ice formed jam, and the back water re-
sulting therefrom flooded portions of this
city.
There is every Indication of food
severer than that of 1882, when several
parts OF the city were submerged, and
much damage was done.
Fair street, which is on the river front
in South Trenton, is under water, and
people are padding about the street in
boats.
The food has been anticipated for
weeks, and such preparations have been
made for its occurrence that the damage
to property will be kept down.
The worst catastrop he that has over
taken the city within recent years oc-
CURED last night when the water invaded
the pumping station of the waterworks,

There is but limited supply in the res

the city will be greatly in need of a water

less now, as the nigh water prevents it's
use. The authorities have sent out a
general alarm asking the people to make
a sparing use OF water, as the supply
is 50 limited.
The Raritan over It's Banks.
The ice in the Milestone river broke
yesterday and was carried into the Rari-
tan river. This, with the heavy floods
| caused the ice gorge at the landing
bridge above New Brunswick to give way
The immense quantities of ice then
rushed toward New Brunswick and tore
away the woodwork beneath the A lbany
street bridge, throwing the draw off it's
| pivot.
There were 80 people on the draw at
the time, but none was injured.

clue to the origin Of the fire in the county
insane asylum near here Thursday night,
in which "A people lost their lives may be
found in the fact that some of the insane
paupers were habltual users Of tobacco,
and were allowed three friction matches
each to take to their cells, with which to
light their pipes.
This system, it is said, was brought to
the notice of the county delegation a few
days since upon its visit to the county
farm, and the advice of one of its mem
bers was that it should be stopped, but
whether this advice was acted upon is
not known.
Keeper Driscoll is of the opinion that
the fire caught from defective chimney,
the sides of the latter being only the
thickness Of one brick.
The Legislature has decided to make
an investigation Of the horror.

How to Guess q Woman's Age,

A volume of memoirs has been pub
lished giving the experiences of a
French president of the assize. It
bears curious testimony to the inaccur-
acy of women on the subject of their
own ages. AS the writer's information
is from the calendar, he speaks only of
the criminal classes. The only in.
stances in which he finds correct dates
given by women are when they are un-
der twenty-five or over eighty-fve. At
these periods of life, he says, they arg
to be trusted.
At all other periods the sure control
ling tendency is to understand. The
magistrate has been able to give a rule
for guidance He finds that female
prisoners invariably state their ages as
twenty nine, thirty nine, forty-nine or
fifty nine, and from this remarkable
circumstance he deduces his rule. If
their ages are in the forties they boldly
set them down in the thirties. but con-
science asserting itself, they keep as
near the truth as they can and fix them
at thirty nine. Whether male criminals
do the same the magistrate does not
state.

SALOONS1N SOUTH WASHINGTON

The communication of Rev. Wall
ter ID. Brooks in another column of
this paper, is timely and suggestive.
Indeed, it contains food for thought
and should be carefully read and
considered by all classes of citizens.
1t is true as he has stated that
majority of the saloons in this city,
can be found among the colored
people which is, undoubtedly ref.
ectlon on the race.
No one is to blame but the color
ed people for the large number of
saloons in the section of the city to
which this learned and distlsguish-
ed divine refers.
Will the people continue to al
low so many of them to exist? Is
there not to be an improvement in
this whlskey traffic? A large per.
cent of the crime committed in this
city is on account Of whiskey
Take heed at what Rev. Brooks
has said and let the colored people
improve their condition.

PRESIDENT HARRISON.

1t is so strange that some of the
present republican Office holders
can find so much falt with Ex-Pres
ldent HARRISON.
They will find fault with Pre-
sldent Cleveland should he retire
from the Presidency in 1896.
The editor of the New York Aqe,
is a peculiar genius.
He always had nice things to say
about Mr.. Harrison when he was
President and when the Aqe edis-
or was candidate for the Havtion
mission. If Mr.. Harrison was a
good man then, is he not as good
now that he is out of office?
1t is so with some people. thew
can find great deal of good in you
when you are in prosperous con-
dition, but, the moment you are on
the downward road, you then re-
ceive blows aud knocks from those
you have done the most for.
This administration, ii the BEE
judges it rightly, is sopposed to demo
gogues and political acrobats.

Trades that Affect the Teeth,

Quicksilver miners follow the most
unhealthy trade in the world. The
fumes of the mercury produce con-
stant salvation and the system becomes
permeated with the metal, the teeth of
the unfortunate men drop out, they
lose their appetite, become emaciated,
and, as rule, seldom live longer than
two years. Chloride of lime, employed
by bleachers, frequently destroys the
enamel and dentrine of the teeth. But
phosphorus, used so largely in the
manufacture of lucifer matches, affects
a very large number of persons, women,
girls and children greatly preponder-
ating. People who work in soda fac.
tories are affected by the teeth becom-
ing soft and translucent they break
off close to the gums.
Doctor Hesse, of Leipsic, states that
bakers are likely to suffer from carious
teeth on account of the -four entering
the mouth during work, collecting on
and around the teeth, where it decom-
poses and generates an aoid destructive
to the dentine.

A NE ORDER OF VOICES,

So many ysung women waste
time and money in laboring to
sing, when singing we'll is entirely
beyond them, that it pity they
do not occupy themselves more
proftably i'll training themselves
to speak properly, writes Junius
Henri Browne in an article on
"The Voices of American Women"
in the May Ladies' Home Journal.
Not many lessons would be requlr-
ed to make their voices smooth,
even agreeable, as we see in the
OF young women who have been
perpared tor the stage. There is
no substantial reason why Ameri-
C n women of average Intelligence
Notwithstanding nerves aud climte
should offend by their harsh tones.
The day is not distant, let US hope,
when the number will be reduced
to a minimum. The coming
century will, in all likelihood, not
only see new order of things, but
will hear a new order of voices
that 1t will De pleasant to listen to.

Many names are radically changed
by the omission or introduction, Of
one or two letters. From the German
Bauer to the English Bowers, and from
the French Boulanger to the English
Bullinger, is but a step, as it were.
But there are no people who are oftener
more humorously accused of altering
their names than the Irish. Thus,
Dillon has become Dyllyn; Diver, De-
we're and Deyyr; McCarty, Mackartee
and Makart; Slattery, Slater and Stat
erlee; O'Brien, Obrion and Breen; Nc
Ginness, Guinness and Innsss; Reilly,
Relyea; Duffy, Dufay; McGufin, Ma
Coffin; Quinn, Queen; Fogarty, Fou-
CERT; Haggerty, Haggart; Sully. Soule.

and a republican president had
won, t ey would soon become re-
publicans.
AS it is now, negroes who have
always affiliated with the republi-
can party have declared them
slves to be democrats. 1t is
surprising as we'll as amusing
to witness the fight that is going
on in the different departments,
for places; those who, just two
days before the election and in
some instances on the day of the
election were red hot republicans
are now democrats.
This is what you call American
leadership.
The negro race Is without a
leader an. until one rises and
instruct the masses and direct them
to learn the principles that are
requisite to make a leader and
one that will not truckle to the
Establishments of official favors so

LEISURE MOMENTS

A certain amount Of social life
is asolutely essential to US all. A
woman never grows so old that
she ceases to enjoy the company
of others. 1t is a greater credit
to a husband to keep his wife
young then to make her grow old.
Let him keep in touch with the
world and both be and his wife,
will be the better for it,
What man wants in the
evening is something entirely
different from what has engrossed
his mind through the day, and
that what our women want as we'll.
1t is false economy that denies a
a certain amount of musement
to family. One reason why some
of our women are not healthier
today is because they deny
themselves, or are denied certain
diversions which their very na-
lures crave and should have.

THE FUTURE OF TIE NEGRO
In THIS COUNTRY AND HOW HE ILL
ATTAIN HIS FULL RECOGNITION
AS MAN AND A CITIZEN.

This is the question that is agit
ting the public MUD now and one
that will continue to disturb the
political elements until the negro il
recognized as man and a citizen
The probability Of the negroes tu.
ture In this country largely depends
on his individual efforts. He is a
citizen in the eyes of the law, but,
when that is applied to the negro
he is often ''weighed in the balan
ces and found wanting". There is
but a little justice for the negro in
the South lynch low rigns supreme
then agaia there is but one way to
overcome 1t.
1st. The negro must attend to his
own business and protect the virtue
of his own women.
I'd. He must support his own in-
stitutions and such institution that
will be equally as beneficial to him
as his own.
81. He must accumulate property
and educate his children aud teach
them to be good law abiding cit
izens.
4th. Politics must be subordiated
and his other interests must be
paramount.
5th. One class must not attemp
to be white and think themselves
superior TO those whose character
and reputation will stand the cal
eium light.
A crave for social equality with
the Anglo-Saxons must not be en-
tertained.
If you have money and education
your color will not be a bar to your
admission in the best society.
Money and education are the pow
ers that draw. The fault among a
great number of the negroes 10 this
country is in their silence.
There is more genuine honesty
and industry among the colored
farmers in this country than you
will find among two thirds OF the
negroes holding government posi-
tions.
Tue negro must show his mans
hood among his own people before
he can expect to ask to be placed
upon an equal basis with his more
fortunate white fellow citizens.
These are the forces that are
needed before the negro will OBJ
tain bis full rights as a mau and a
citizen.
