Dedication of Firth Baptist Church.

The dedicatorial services Of,the Fifth
Baptist Church (main assembly room
up stairs) corner HarVie and Cary SITS.
will commence the first Sunday in
June 1895, and continue the entire
month and perhaps longer. We have
recently completed our new house of
worship and are struggling earnestly
and faithfully to pay for the same.
Our membership is comparatively
small and owing TO the dullness OF the
times and scarcity of work we are con-
siderably behind in our payments,it is
our desire to raise at least (SIOOOOO)
one. thousand dollars during these SER
vices and we beg the kind cOnsidera-
ton and help of the congregations and
| friends of every church in our city TO
visit our church during these dedica-
tory exercises and give US of their
means as God has prOspered them.
| We call upon the old and the young,
the white and the cOlOred friends, and
the public generally to help US pay for
a church now located in one of the
most beautiful garden spots in the
west end for a cOlored Baptist church
where it is needed for its chris
tian influence and moral worth, and
to hold up the banner of Christ and
point Strangers to the Lamb of God.
We have secured the service of some
of the most brilliant and distinguished
pulpit orators in our city and state and
Washington d. O. both colored and
white. We extend the courtesy and
invite every city pastor, choir and con-
gregation to be with US and aid US
So prepare yourselves for the coming
great feast and grand opportunities
to hear many of the most profound

Of the cause Of temper
ance, that there is a need for the dis
OF temperance ideas and |
principles no one will deny further If
the race is TO be helped up 60 these
important ends &c must be done by
iudicious agitation Of such principles
and hy conference OF the representa-
tive temperance people OF our race.
That TO come together in convention
Co look into each others face, to advise
and compare views, TO discuss the best
methods by candid and friendly dis
cussion.
The liquor traffic is more aggressive,
more destructive, to-day than ever.
We believe that the holding of such a
convention is practicable. Hence we
ask all colored men and women
| throughout the country who are OPP
posed to the Saloon TO join in the call
| for National Negro Temperance Con
| gress to convene at Atlanta, Ga, IN the

States and International Exposition

solutely nothing for eleven and half
months OF the year but wear good clothes.
They dress in excellent taste, own fine
country house some where, read books, en-
joy their horses and are gentlemen or
leisure. little before Christmas they
bestir themselves.
The absolute 'cinch'i Of the Christmas
tree man has not passed unnoticed by his
fellows. Every year new men start in to
be Christmas tree men, and every year
they fail. To be Christmas tree man you
have got to be born in the business.
Said one OF these men few days ago:
Now, young feller, suppose you are buy
ing Christmas trees, say down in Maine.
You go there and they tell you the crop
is short; that they are only going to cut
10000 trees this year; that twenty men
have been after those trees, and that they
want 40 cents bunch for them. You look
around, find you can't do any better, and
you pay it. When you get back to town
the market is swanped with trees, and
you are glad to sell for enough to get
your money back.
"When 1 go up there ] know those fell

who can be helpful. Five years later the
boy begins to chop for bImseif In the same
spot, and still five years later he is begin
ming to count upon the proceeds OF the
Christmas trees from this piece OF land.
and is reckoning upon starting little
chap OF his own In the business. Thus
few acres of pines, upon which vigorous
trees will grow, will support family from
generation to generation, world without
end, as long as Santa Claus lives.
A "CINCH" BUSINESS.
There is very singular thing about the
Christmas tree man. He works for only
two weeks In the year. His labor begins
now and ends on Christmas Day. During
that time he bargains, dickers, works and
sells. When his last tree is gene be is done
with work for another year. There Is only
one Christmas tree man In the United
States who works during the year. This
man is a very ambitious down-Easterner,
who wants to make money for big fam
lily. This Woodworking man rests from
Christmas Day until July. Then he goes to
work again. He buys up watermelons aud
sells them in town. He is the go-betweep
for watermelons in sumner. Just as he is
for Christmas trees In the winter.
The other Christmas tree men DO alb

method, according to those who enjoy the
same identifying process, 10 to seat herself
In the spray of q fountain with window
Of blue glass over her head. This gentle
.plashing of the water against the face,
warmed by the soft glass rays, preserves
the complexion. 1t is blue glass bath
The fountain In the hallway is an Anleri-
can invention. Other Countries with more
spacious halls did not think of II until
we adopted 1t. The old Roman entrances
all had their water spot In the middle Of the
little room where callers rested, but this
was thought impossible for the hallway
of ones own home. j. J. Van Allen, that
remarkable wjdower, son-ln-law OF the
Astors, the man whom Cleveland appointed
minister TO Italy and which appointment
fiascoed, reyels In strange beauty spots
In his Bar Harbor and Newport homes In
one OF these he has n fountain, built by
walling up the sides OF a great tub set upon
the floor. A stone wall like chimney
place is built all around the fountain. A
stone seat comes next, and then there is a
solid wall OF stone down to the floor. Upon
this stone seat there are cushions, and
here Mr.. Van Aliens women friends rest
when they are visiting him al house parties.
The most delightful fountains are those
that send up clear spray that can be

dipped with the glass for drinking. This
is all easily managed by the filter ar
rangemeDt. The silver bucket lies at the
side of the fountain, and a silver mug is
near by chained to II. The Rebecca OF
today goes TO the well and dips up q
sparkling glass for drinking. By a sim
pie attachment to the filtered supply the
water may be iced. Al other times, when
flowers set therein, it is hmpid and tepid.
There is no limit 70 the fountainic vari-
atoms possible for those who have The
money to spend for them. The daughter
OF a much bout miilionaiFeb brought
water lies from the South and planted
them in her hall fountain. With a small
stone she sunk the roots TO the bot
tom OF the pool. which was only two
feet deep, and with her own hands she
clipped and cared for the plants daily.
Her reward was "a very pretty ana con-
slant supply Of water pads and lilies.
Another is experimenting in GOLD fish, and
has succeeded in raising the little fish.
But where is the person whose Ingenuity
cannot suggest means OF making the foun-
tain in the hall delightful!
There are several wealthy homes where
the water of the fountain is perfumed on
gala nights. Up TO the ceiling it sends
