nothing more 10 do except 10 light his

advances cautiously 10 see if there is
anything suspicious in the horizon.
After making about three or four PAGES
he receives a bullet which sends him
bounding into the air with an almost

the hunters blaze away. Few of the

before firing, he does not always take

makes the slightest movement, he
runs the risk of receiving a bullet in

Salt and Coal.

It is stated that if the consumers of
coal would mix salt with it, there
would not be so much smoke and the
atmosphere would be considerably
clearer, cleaner and more wholesome.
Salt not only consumes the SCOT, but
makes the coal last longer The ex-
pertinent is easily tried and might re-
suit in some abatement not only Of the
smoke nuisance, but serve to increase
the healthfulness Of our homes and in
sure the cleanliness Of our houses by
eliminating that aggrayation Of all tidy
housewives.

ACKNOWLEDGES THE CORN.
From The Washington Post ]

From The Washington Post
The Post will be very frank with the
esteemed Washington Bee and admit
that the reason the white man doesn't
concede more of the offices to his col
ored brother is simply because he
wants them for himself. The Bee has
probably heard how the Indian Jared
at the white mans distribution of the
turkey and buzzard. The white man
continues to do business in the same
old manner.
Our very genial cGntemr orary
who penned the above excerpt and
who is well known to the editor Of
this paper is satisfied that the re-
cor1er's Office is not an asset in
the estimation of the white man, so
far as the negro is concerned, but
our contemporary honestly admits
that all offices under the govern
ment aud money are the personal
assets Of the white man and his
real assets are the government
buildings and government lands.
The negro comes in by suference
only. We thought that was the
opinion of our white citizens, but
did not believe that they would ad-
NIT it. We admire honesty and
bravery even If it is against US.
We beg leave to inform the Post
however, that the table will turn
one of these days after Its passage
through the clouds into the great
unknown, where there will be nc
assets person or real.

A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION

There was large meeting of the
National Protective Association
held on last Wednesday night at
the Vermont Ave. Baptist church
for the ,urpose of installing the Of
fcers of the association.
Mr.. J. ". Cromwell, called the
meeting to order and announced
the number of officers 10 repre-
sent the association. Vice presi-
dents representing every state in
the Union, were appointed. The
vice president for the District Of
Columbia, is Col. P. II. Carson,
who was called to the chair and
made forcibla speech. He said
among other things, that it was
highly important for the colored
people to organize. He did not
believe in pretended leadership.
He cited a case where a colored
man had white woman appointed,
when Public Printer Bened let had
offered the place to a colored wo-
man. Col. Carson said, that this
leader was not present, but as soon
as he met him he would expose him
to the people.
EI-Congressman Murray was in
troduced and made a most eloquent
speech on the Importance of ma
tional organization among the co.,
ored people.
The Washington bee., 1897-04-24

P. B.-You should not make speech
especially in public audience, except
you know what you intend talkin z
about. The people of to-day are very
critiCising and | would advise you here
after to put your thoughts in writing
and always read from your paper until
you become more yersed in the line
of public speaking. You are a sedate
girl and your thoughts are usually
good, but large crowd seems TO ex-
cite you. Take my advice and read
choice literature.
There is something pitable about the
girl who will marry a man because he
has a profession, or owns a house and
above all is good looking. It is awful
TO let such folly lure one into a life
time business. Often after the profess
sion fails, house is sold and good
looks disappear, there is no founda-
ton TO go upon and a divorce suit is
bound TO follow. II is well TO marry
for ones good disposition and real
personal value and not for ones worth

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness
and that is BY constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
staChian Tube, When this tube gets
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inhamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrhl that cannot be cured by Hall 5
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
