Billy Ament's Show.

The opening performance of Billy
Ament's show was given last evening
at the corner of Second avenue and
Sixteenth street, where it continues
for one week. The performance is a
varied one and contains some unique
and novel features, such as w. d.
Ament. ventriloquist. musical artist,
and rifle shot; Mortimer and
Darill, German and Irish sketches;
Bessie Searles. contralto vocalist;
Val Vino, juggler; Jimmie Dashing-
ton, contortionist; Fred Raymond,
comedian; Rumley children, Lulu
and Ruby, singers and dancers; and
Jerry Dashington, the dancing
dwarf. 1t concludes with 3O-min-
ute comedy-drama, "Little Nell, the

promptly ended. Instead of this
they have constantly multiplied.
Our records are now far beyond the
capacity Of the vault. only the most
valuable being kept in that over
flowing receptacle, and the balance
in the ordinary Office rooms. Since
the last head camp the mailing list
has been added to our property. 1t
could hardly be replaced for $4,000.
One hours fire would wipe it out Of
existence. The books and records
of the office have been doubled since
1892, and all are at the mercy of the
flames. Insurance cannot protect
the orders interest in these
things. The board has done
all in its power to minimize
the risk. by providing large iron
proof safe, chemical fire extinguish-
ers in all parts of the Office. and the
employment of a night Waterman,
but the risk which the order is run
ming in its present Office quarters is
so far beyond the power of words to
express that it should call for the
prompt and effectual action of this
head camp. to provide adequate pro-
lection, either at Fulton or some
other location"
Tho Necessary Work.
Now in order to finally determine
the location it is necessary that the
delegates in head camp meeting at
Madison, Wis, by two-thirds vote
relocate the head Office, which action
must then be ratified by the directors
in the state of Illinois. The
directors are believed to be for Rock
Island without exception. So viii
the delegates to the head camp be-
it is believed. But to be sure it is
necessary that Rock Island be prop
erly represented at Fulton. Hence
the desirability of a delegation OF
representative men.
That the office is to be moved from
Fulton does not admit of doubt, thai
it will come to Rock Island il the
people here make the proper. effort
is likewise more than probable.
Let us 60 after it.

rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

in the forr, most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; efFectually cleansing the system,
dispellirg colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

The Truth Cropning out.

We have had a suspicion that the col
ored people who have gone to Liberia
from the south have not found the op-
portunities there for improving their ma
terial condition as great as they had been
led 10 believe. If the story told by three
Of the returned immigrants. who are now
in Philadelphia trying to find means to
get back TO their old homes in Arkan-
sas, is true, the experience of those who
left this port for Liberia a few months
ago has been one of great hardships and
sufIerings. According to a dispatch in
the Morning News yesterday they were
dumped out on the shore on their arrival
in Liberia and told TO shift for them
selves. What were they to do? 1t is
probable that the government was ready
and willing to donate to them twenty
five acres OF land, or any other num-
Der of acres. but the land doubtless was
a long way inland and covered with a
thick growth of timber and underbrush.
To clear even an acre of such land and
prepare it for cultivation would require
the labor of several men for year or
mors~
There are practically no means of earn
ing money in Liberia. because there is
little or no demand for labor. Those who
are fortunate enough to find employment
are paid wages that are barely sufficient
to buy food enough to keep body and
soul together.
And the climate is about as bad as it
yer makes short work of its victims, and
the percentage of its victims among new
corners is large.
How many of those who left Savannah
a few months ago are still alive is not
known. The three Of the party who are
now in Philadelphia say that many have
| died, and that nearly all the others are
existing in half starved condition. They
have been driven by hunger TO eat what
ever they can find in the forests that
viii sustain life. Without food and with
out the means of procuring it. and being
i'll with fever they have had one long
regret doubtless that they ever left their
comfortable homes in this country
The colored people ought to be made
acquainted with the truth about Liberia,
so that those who emigrate TO that coun-
/ try win not be disappointed. Unfortu-
nately the great majority of those who
| are preparing TO go to Liberia refuse to
4 believe those who tell them what they
| may expect on their arrival there. They
! accept the statements Of the immigration
agents, and decline TO listen to their real
! friends. Only experience with the hard
ships Of Liberia will convince them Of
| their mistake in selling their belongings
IN this country ana taking the chances
Of lettering their condition IN Liberia,
! Of which country they know nothing.

A story of Bishop Potter.

There is a story about Bishop Potter go
ing the rounds. says the New York Sun.
Last year the bishop went out to Tuxedo
10 confirm a class of young people in the
new church there. A young matron who
had been member of the congregation
OF Grace church while the bishop was its
rector. and had been herself confirmed and
married by him, wrote and insisted that
he should stop with her during his stay al
Tuxedo. He accepted. AS a particular
honor she adorned his room with an elab-
crate toilet set of solid silver that includ-
ed more than dozen pieces. The bishop
came, confirmed the candidates, and went
away. But the silver toilet set could not
be found. 1t was not on the dressing
table nor IN the bath room. and the ma
irons astonishment was great. Her an
noyance was almost as great, and for two
days she wondered what could have be-
come of the set and whether the bishop
had supposed it was a present, on The
third day she summoned up courage
enough to write him and ask If by mis-
take his man, or one Of the servants, had
packed up the silver toilet set with his
luggage and It had been overlooked in
unpacking, etc. The bishop answered
promptly, for the next day she received
this telegram. Am poor, but honest
Look in the table drawer" The young
woman did look, and the toilet set was
found there. The following day letter
arrived from the bishop saying that he
had put the silver toilet articles away, as
he did not need them and had forgotten
TO speak about it, He wrote that he
Travelled with a very simple set of his
own, and the silver outlay dazzied him
so that he wanted to get it out of sight.

Reed and His GLOVES.

Tom Reed never wears a silk hat, says
the Chicago Tribune. He bought one six
years ago and brayed public sentiment
beneath II Tor nearly a fortnight, but
he couldn't bear thespressure any longer
than that. 1t made him uncomfortable.
1t didn't tit the bumps. on his head, and
altogether he didn't think 1t harmOnized
with the contour of his face or of his
BODY. Hats have always been a source
OF trouble and annoyance to him. When
he first came to congress he wore a lit
tie saucer-like arrangement, with a mar
row brim, that made his face look twice
its natural size, and gave him generally
schoOlbOy air. His friends Weaned him
of that, but they have never been able
to induce him to give any particular
attention to dress.
1t is only lately that Mr. Reed has
taken to wearing gloves, except in the
coolest weather. The day the print of
the tariff BILL with its innumerable COM
mittee amendments appeared, Reed
walked into the House, hung up his hat
IN the cloakroom, and began to wan
der about the floor, Conspicuously hold
ing the bill before him in his gloved
hands.
Baker of New Hampshire caught on to
the queer combination. and whispered
hurriedly to Boutelle For heavens sake
speak to Reed! He'll be wandering around
here absent-mindedly all day with his
gloves on If you don't"
Boutelle sided up to his big colleague
and began to pull his coat sleeve. Get
back into the cloak-room, Tom" he whis-
pered, and pull off your gloves. You'll
have the whole House laughing at you"
Reed turned solemnly upon the Bangor
man and held up the bill he was carry

speak with so lite consideration? Can't

Public Taste Is Confirmed.

Mr.. B. built himself house some
years ago, says a writer in Harper's Mag
azine. The architecture was simplicity,
as friend said, TO riotous degree" 1t
was correspondingly pure, and the house
was correspondingly comfortable. The
effect of the lines, however, upon the
untutored mind was not impressive A
friend visiting Mr., BIS town, inquiring
the way to the house, was told by the
boy of whom he asked the question to
"go long bout a-well, a mile till YOU
come to a house at looks like a barn,
only ii amt barn, an that's hisn."
B. enjoyed the description and told
his architect, who made a few remarks
about public taste which would have Of
Tended public taste very much to hear.
That's their verdict" said the archi-
tect but what does 1t amount to? 1t
simply proves" etc, etc.
Two weeks later three friends of B
rode up from town on horseback, entered
the grounds, and stopped before the house.
One of them dismounted and rang the
bell, and b himself opened the door.
''Whoaw cried all three riders at once.

The horses had tried unanimously to

quarters.
