a. ID. to 10 u. m. daily. We will advise
our readers of the opening day.

Sister Brown Sw0oned at the Col
Ored Baptist Church Revival.

Revival services have been in pI ogress

nor the suffocating crowding of the neigh
bors about the prostrate woman succeeded
in reviving her. The policemen conse-
quently summoned a wagon from the
street station house and she was removed
to her home, No. 800 1-2 Virginia avenue.
Mrs. Brown did not regain consciousness
on the way home, and it was not until two
hours or more after her arrival that she
came to herself
During the trance, it is said, she had a
vision She was carried mentally into
paradise, and talked in broken. spasmodic
