500 REWARD, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh be-
ing constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby dis
troying the foundation of disease, and
giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The pro-
prietors have so much faith in its cur
ative powers, that they offer One Hun
daed Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

MEN AND. NOT PARTY

The time is fast approaching in
the political history of the negro
when he will support men and
measures and not party. He will
soon realize the Importance of do
ing his own thinking and not
allow men to think for him. 1t is
surprising to see the great hold the
Iammany organization of the State
of New York has on the negro
voters of the State. The negro
has been the plant political tool of
parties ever since his emancipation.
There are some republicans who
are now candidates for reelection
doing all in their power to con-
vince their negro constituents that
they have been just and fair in
the distribution of Federal patron

About two O'Clock on Wednesday
afternoon, a coal black girl and a
pure white man, alighted from the
train In the Penn. Railroad station and
inquired of Colored citizen where
they could be married. They were
directed and escorted 10 the Office of

quickly. Justice Hewlett immediately

young woman's looks. She had kinky
hair and the only redeeming feature
about her was her shape. The man
seemed to be an intelligent man who
was well dressed. The quandary was,

ugly black woman? Justice Hewlett.

THE POLITICAL HORIZON.

Our latest advices from the States
indicate that the prospect of repub-
lican success at the polls next
month is exceedingly gloomy.
Some of the leaders say. that if we
eau get the voters out all will be
we'll. But it appears that even if
we do get the veters out large
percentage will either vote the
democratic ticket or throw away
their votes on independent candi.
dates. We might as well look the
matter squarely in the face and try
to avert the the danger that now
threatens the republican party. 1t
is almost certain that Col. Roose-
velt will be defeated in New York.
Whether Senator Platt can carry
the legislature is still a matter of
serious concern.
Unless the remedy is applied
soon and very soon at that, the
democrats will control the next
Congress by large majority. In
the States of New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio
and Illinois the rank and file of
republicans are in an ugly mood
and disheartened. They say that
they did not vote in 1896 with the
idea that the democrats should be
retained in Office to their exclusion;
they say that they have been be-
trayed, and that if Mr.. Cleve and's
civil service blanket order is not
lifted before election day that they
will, Sampson like, pull the pillars
of the temple down by voting the
democratic ticket or staying at
home and let the civil service
cranks attend the polls.
President Mckinley ought not
to listen to the sophlstry of the
political Judases and Miss Nancys
that are making themselves so
active in the republican party and
telling him that the people are
heartily in favor of civil service
reform. Such is not the fact. In
rural districts the farmers believe
that the civil service law operates
against them, inasmuch as they
cannot afford to give their children
the necessary education to success
fully stand the examination; they
believe that the law was enacted
for the benefit of the rich mans
children. In the cities and
towns the law is believed to be op-
Grated fraudulently and the
chances of appointment on a par
with getting prize out of lottery
scheme.
A recent examiner, (Mr. Baily,)
in the office of the Civil Service
Commission says that there are
numerous back doors by which any
one with sufficient pulp can en-
ter the government service without
complying with the law, and he
cites numerous instances to bear
him out,
There is rumor to the effect
that Mr.. Cleveland's civil service
extension rules will be abrogated
shortly after the election. If in
circulating such report it is in

Mr.. John H. Cook, the father of
Will NJ. Cook, who was present as the
trustee of the creditors, said If the
people were to enconomlze and wear
plain clothes they could easily cancel
the burden. He further said he would
be compelled to advertise and sell the
property, provided sufficient amount

came, for the church was not sold.

FREEDMEN'S HOSPITAL.

Freedmen's Hospital, like How
ard University, was designed for
the implied purpose of providing
an institution, the head and front
of which should be guided and
controlled by colored men and
women for the education of colored |
students. The establishment of
such an hospital for white students
at the expense of the government
was not necessity and was never
dreamed Of by those who drafted
the bill which became a law under
which Freedmen's Hospital was
created.
The wise, able and economic ad-
ministration Of DIR. Purvis did
much in giving the hospital ma
tional reputation and bringing to
it, both faculty and students, some
Of the brightest minds of both
races. His clear perception of his
own rights as Surgeon-In-Ch
coupled with his tact and judg-
ment Of men carried the institution
through many vicissitudes which,
on account of southern prejudice,
have beset it Oh every hand. But
DIR. Purvis was equal to every
emergency and easily overcame
every opposition to the welfare of
the hospital.
1t is a well-known fact that
there is a class of white citizens
here whose members, for years,
have been bent on wrestling from
the colored people the control of
Freedmen's Hospital. Their eff
forts ayailed them nothing during
the incumbency of DR.. Purvis. He
was able to parry their thrust and
to meet successfully all their redic-
ulous criticisms. 1t was sad day
for Freedmen's Hospital and for
the negro race in America when
DIR. Puryis was deposed and DIR
Daniel Williams was installed in
his stead. The latter's was po-
litical appointment and while the
doctor was an able surgeon, he i'm
mediateIy set in operation a plan
to prolong, indefinitely, his tenure
of Office by recommending that the
Surgeon-ln-Chief, the assistants,
the internes, the matron and
nurses be placed under civil service
rules. He seemed and in fact was
willing to divest himself of all
power in the premises and to trans
fer the same to whomsoever the
Secretary of the Interior might see
fit to select. His recommendations
were carried out and now Freed
mems Hospital, all institution
which was once a credit to the ge-
nious and craftsmanship of its foun-
ders, is now a double-h headed lnsti-
tuition and its management exposed
to the caprice of any committee of
investigation from the Interior
Department, the members of which

acquiessed in having the Surgeon

LOST HIS TROUSERS.
Peter Holland Is Reported to Be Forced to Weor Borrowed
 ClothinQ.

Peter Holland, who lives at 551 Stew enson street. is sorry that he ever met colOred stranger who Is now being looked for by the police. But what's done cannot be undohe. and Holland realizes it. While having a little time all to himself he met the dark hued stranger and a friendship, probably caused by lonesomeness, immediately was sealed.
 After several glances on the wine while it was red, the stranger invited Holland to share his room with him that night. Holland acquiesced and the twain retired. When Holland awoke in the morning he discovered that the supposed friend was gone and that he had evidently worn two pairs of trous- CTS as well as shoes. Holland searched the room. but the articles of clothing as well as what money he had when re- tiring were missing. Holland was in a dilemma, but after explaining his po- sition to the landlord of the house he was able to borrow some cast-off clothing and reported the loss to the police. Holland still wears the borrow ed clothing. according to the latest re- ports.
