HAMPTON STUDENTS SANG
Addresses Also Made in Behalf Of
the Colored Institute.
President Frissen Made Flea for
Support of the Institution and
Graduates Told of Its Value

A meeting in the interest of the Hampton
School was held last night at the Church
OF the Covenant, corner of Eighteenth and
streets. Several pupils of the school
and Others who have graduated, are making
short tour OF the Eastern States with
President FrisselI, of the institution.
They are accompanied by a sextet fromthe
Hampton choir, who sing the old negro
melodies so familiar TO the Southern ear.
Dr. Hamlin, pastor OF the Church of
the Covenant, presided, and after offering
the opening prayer, he introduced Mr..
Frissell.
President FrisseIl spoke of Gen. Arm
strong, the founder of the school and paid
touching tribute to his memory. He
spoke of the work that had been done and
told how the school had grown until there
were sixty buildings, sixteen workshops,
and two farms connected with the institu-
tion. He said that lie would not attempt TO
tell much of those who have been and are
being educated at Hampton, but rather
would let them tell ii in their own words.
Robert S. White of Harmon county, Va,
was the first to tell of his struggle TO
obtain an education. He said:
My parents were slaves. After the
war the newly Liberated fathers and mothers
looked upon their children much in the
same light that they had been looked upon
by their masters.
Although children were not bought
and sold, they were rented to Others. My

far

me for something TO do, j began to realize
that was without education. ! went TO
the white people and asked them 10 build
a school. They said they had no money,
but if I would build a school they would
furnish teacher. / went around among
my people and talked to them and finally
we built tile school. By and by / went
to Hampton. For what / am today
owet 10 Hampton. Hamptonha done every
thing for me.
They not only taught me a trade by
which ] could earn an honest living, but
they gave me new ideas OF life and a broader
intelligence"
Miss Lizzie Rainer, who graduated in
1894, told OF the missionary work she
has been doing in the cotton belt OF Ala
bama and of the great good education is
doing the black man in the South.
Among the other speakers were Gen.
Miles, who told OF his experiences with the
Indians and an Indian graduate of the
school, named 0bitika, which Americanized
means BENZ. Brave.
A feature OF the evening was the singing
of the oolored sextet. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
of their melodious, unframed voices was
brought out most effectively beneath the
vaulted ceiling of the church. They sang
the old plantation songs that are favorites
at the school.

THEY RIDICULE 1T.
Many People Ridioule the Idea
Of an Absolute Cure for Dys-
pepsia and Stomach
Troubles.
Ridicu1e, However, Is Not Argument,
and Facts Are stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are SO common and in
many cases so obstinate to cure that people
are apt toIook with suspicion on any remedy
claiming to be radical, permanent cure for
dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such pride
themselves on theiracuteness in never being
humbugged, especially on medicines.
This fear of being humbuggcd may be car
ried too far; so far, in fact, that many per
sons suffer for years with weak digestion
rather than risk little time and money in
faithfully testing the claims OF a prepara
tion SO reliable and universally used as
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vast
ly different in one important respect from
ordinary proprietary medicines for the
reason that they are not a secret patent
medicine, no secret is made of their in
gradients, but analysis shows them to con
tain the natural digestive ferments, pure
aseptic sepsin, the digestive acids, Golden
Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nux. They
are not cathartic, neither do they act
powerfully ON any organ, bat they cure
indigestion on the comnIon sense plan or
digesting the<food eaten promptly, thor
ougiily before it has time TO fernient, sour
cad cause the mischief. This is the only
secret OF their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles be-
cause they act entirely upon the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals, digest the food. That is all there is
toit Food not digested or half digcsted is
noison asst creates gas acidity headaches,
paip:tation of the heart, loss OF flesh and ap-
petite. and many other troubles which are
often called by some other name

PLEA FOR ARMENIA.
Rev j. j. Muir Drew a Vivid Picture
of Its wretched Condition.


The Rev. J. j. Muir, pastor of Street
Baptist Church, preached last evening on
The Crime of the Century" His text
was from Luke xviii: g. "Avenge me of
my adversary DR.. Muir said, in part:
"A widow who had been wronged ap-
peals TO certain judge for redress. Her
case is treated with indifference, and her
complaint is disregarded. But she is de-
ternined that justice shall be done her, and
she therefore persists in pressing her suit
upon this corrupt and ease-loving Official.
For his own comfort and peace Of mind, he
is at last compelled to consider her plea
and though tardily and unwillingly to grant
her that protection and relief which she
so righteOusly sought.
How often have appeals for aid fallen
on dull and unsympathetic ears; have
wrongs been grudgingly rigbted? Most
reluctantly have governments at times
recognized the claims of the oppressed
Ever and anon the widows plant is taken
up by some individual or people and is
uttered With an energy and patbos that
ought to command immediate attention
and quick remedy.
I'VE look across the sea and behold a
people despoied and tortured and in most
terrible plight, and we hear coming from
the midst OF their desolation and grief, out
of the wreck and carnage from which
they are suffering, the cry, 'Avenge me of
mine Adversary"
Then he gave a description OF the
Turkish raids into the Armenian villages.
and the massacre of the helpless women
and children.
Next he described the customs and private
lives of the natives of Armenia and showed
them TO be Christian-like and God-fear-
ing. He concluded his remarks by saving;
Humanity urges upon US this duty
toward them. They are bone of our bone
and flesh OF our flesh. They are our
brethren. Unity renders it imperative.
They believe in the same God, magnify the
same cross, and look for the same heaven.
Agitate in their welfare. Aid in their
relief. Pray and beseech God for their
deliverance.''

TIE FUTURE OF TIE HORSE.

There is class of writer's that are
determined to attend the funeral of
the horse interests whether or not.
The horse with them is to become alb
solete in consequence of the bicycle,
electricity, etc. This sort of argument
looks we'll and may appear conclusive
on paper. But bicycles or electricity
will not draw the pillow or do the farm
work that horses are now used for do
ing. Nor will they do the practical
work for which horses are used in the
cities and towns. Every farm will al
ways have it's horses. The streets of
every city will always be crowded with
horses. On what lines have the bicy-
Giles and electricity taken the places of
horses? On street cars and for drawing
purposes. That this makes consider
able hole in the demand we admit, but
so far as the street cars are concerned,
they never made demand for class
of horses that were purposely bred for
the purpose. The street car horses
were usually good horses, but they
were scrub horses. As to the bicycle
taking the place of the driving horse,
this sort of demand was never as de-
pendable as that for the work horse
was. There is room in this country
to-day for 10, 100000 frst-class horses,
and the demand will make itself felt
more and Smore when times become
better, until it is supplied. There are
100000 farms on which there should
be better horses and on which the far
mers will eventually see that good
team means money in their pockets.
There is ''slew" of good-for-nothing
horses in the cities and towns, too, AMI
replacing them with better horses,
would mean that the. work of teams
would be more quickly, more easily
and. consequently more probably
done, and some time, in the natura
progress of things, they will be re
placed. It is nonssns to talk about
the bicycle or electricity making the
horse useless. They can do nothing
of the kind.-The Silver Knight.

The Size of the Sun.

The sun, provided we measure only
the disk seen with the smoked glass, is
eight hundFed and sixty thousand
miles in diaAaeter, i. e., one hundred
-Rpa eight earths could be comfortably
ranged side by side across the disk.
To cover the surface would require
many thou. ands. To fill the interior
we would need 1, 800, 900. On smaller
scale, we might represent the sun by
a ball two feet in diameter and the
earth by good-sized grain of shot.
Let the sun be followed out, then
place the earth in its center, and let
the moon revolve about it at it's real
distance of 100000 miles. There
would yet remain nearly 200, 900 miles
of space between the moons orbit and
the inclosing shell of the sun. Indeed,
to journey from one side of the sun to
the other, through the center, would

FEEDING CATTLE.

-
It was said many -ceh turies ago that
the feeding of cattle vas the most i'm
portant part of agriculture. This is
as true o.day as il was in that ancient
time. And the question might well
be asked by every farmer of himself,
Has this important work of the farm
been improved to the same extent as
other work has been, or has not this
been far too much neglected? It is
true beyond question that to very
great extent our cattle to-day are fed
much the same way as animals we're
centuries ago--tha is, by grazing.
The average amount of land needed
now to support one COW is five acres
for the summer feeding alone, when
it is quite an easy matter to feed one
on less than one acre. Indeed, it is
very sure that one COW may now be
supported as well as is consistent with
the advanced condition of agriculture,
: and that is in the very best and most
productive manner, for whole year
on the produce of single acre of
land.
Thousands of farmers are doing this
by the aid of soiling summer crops and
the s1lo for winter feeding. These
farmers are not complaining of hard
times. They are producing from their
land Eve times as mueiras ever before.
at cost of not more than twice the
former expense. Tho profits of their
enterprise are therefore amply satis-
factory. Others must do the same ;
fertilize the soil; double the yield ;
lessen the expenses; and thus actually
add to the profit, eyenrin these times
of low values.
