BATTLE OF LAKE ERIE.
One of the Worlds Memorable Naval
Engagements.

Early in September, 1913, oliver Haz-
ard Perry with a fleet of nine vessels
was anchored in Put-in-Bay, having
sailed from Maiden, Canada, where he
had attempted to draw the English
ships stationed there into battle. ON
the morning of September 10th, the
English fleet consisting of six vessels,
under Captain Robert II. Barclay, en-
tered the bay and bore down upon the
Americans. Perry at once ordered ms
ships under way, and by IL o'clock his
line was formed, and the signal for go
ing into action was made. AS TINS sig
nal was run up, Perry, on the hagshlp
Lawrence, brought forth a beautltul
flag bearing the memorable dying
words of the gallant Lawrence,
Don't give up the shfp!" and ordered
it flung to the breeze from the mast
head of his vessel.
The battle began at 11:45 by a, shot
from the British Detroit directed to the
Lawrence This was Immediately an
swered. and ball and shell fell fast and
furious between the opposing fleets.
The English concentrating most of their
shots on the Lawrence, soon rendered
the vessel unmanageable; but She
bravely kept up the fight for two hours
Shot and shell played havoc with her
decks and guns, and the carnage was
terrible After a time all her guns but
one became useless and only snall
number of her men were unhurt. Per
nv then rushed up to the remaining gun
and with his own hands discharged 1t
at the enemy.
Seeing that his vessel was fast going
to pieces, and that his men were rap
idly dwindIing under the terrible lire,
Perry got his crew together and in a
small boat left the Lawrence at 2:S0 p.
m, and amid a terrible rain of shot
and shelI-for the enemy had discovered
his intentions-rowed out to the Mag
ara which had taken but a small part
in the engagement He succeeded mi
raculously in reaching this vessel. and
at once took command and ordered to
close in on the British ship.
AS the Niagara drew near, two of the
English vessels, the Detroit and Queen
Caroline, fouled and became practically
useless. At once the Niagara and 9TH
err American vessels poured destruc-
tive fire upon them. In a short time.
really within a few minutes, one Of the
English vessels surrendered, and the
others followed in quick succession I'M

White and Black Greet Each
Other Fervently
WITH THE HOLY KISS.
Father Cuts Sons Leg Off With

ISOLATION Organized.
WITH THE HOLY KISS.

Emporia, June 29.-The Church of
God and Saints of Christ in session here
presents a creed decidedly novel.
This church is composed of both white
and black members. In it, the color
line is unknown. By the seventh arti-
Gle of their faith, the members are all
required to kiss the bishop or presiding
pastor, when received into the church.
All the members, also, salute one anoth-
er with a kiss, when they meet or pass
each other on the street. This church
now has $4,000 members in the United
States, and 700 member in Kansas.
There ten branches, or temples, now es-
tab1lshed in Kansas, one each at Win
field, Emporia, Strong City Wiggam
Florence, South Topeka, North Topeka,
Lawrence, Lecompton and Larned.
The branch of the church which is be-
ing organized here now has 300 mem
berS, among which are some of the lead
ing white citizens of the town and COM
munity. J. NJ. Grove (White) is pastor
of the congregation here.
Bishop Crowley, the organizer of the
church, is a unique Individual and has
had some remarkable adventures and
experiences since he received the first
revelation from God on November %,
1897 He came near being mobbed at
Fort Worth, where the white people OBJ
jected to him greeting white ladies with
the holy kiss. They tried him for in
sanity three times, there, and, failing to
convict MIN on this charge, they tried
him by Judge Lynch's code and decided
to hang him. While he was on the verge
of the abyss through which flows the
dark river" he received, he says,
revelation direct from God in which the
war with Spain was foretold. He COM
municated his revelation to the people
who agreed not to hang him if it came
true. AS every body knows, it did come
true. The bishop says that he also fore
told the cyclone which destroyed Fort
Smith, Ark, and the terrible flood
which visited Kansas City a few weeks
ago. He now prophecies that this war
will be Immediately followed by a sec
Ond great religious war in which his
saints will be arrayed against the
pOpe's people. He says that in this war
Catholicism will be blotted from the
face of the earth.
The church believes in the observ-
ance of Saturday as the day of rest and
the bishop says that it has practically
absorbed the Seventh Day Adventists.

Craniectomy Performed the First
Time in New York.

New York June 29.-The rare and deli

the ligaments within the skull which hold
the brain in place.
The subject was Minnie Sheehan, four
years old, who fell out of a third story
window. She was picked up alive, but
unconscious. It was found that the skull
had been crushed in near the left temple
and that several splinters were pressing

HOW THE GREAT CHEMISTS I

Kidney Deases That Once Were the
Terror of Physicians. Robbed Of
Their Horror. When to Act

Nature seldom strikes a severe blow
at mankind without first giving warn
ing. 1t is neglect of the warning that
leads to disaster. The first warning,
usually, that is given of impending dam
ger of diabetes, Bright's disease or 9TH
er kidney troubles, is pain in the
small of the back just above the kid
neys. When the kidneys are not doing
their work properly there is distress all
over the body; but, generally, back
ache is one of the first and most certain
symptoms of kidney disorder.
Wise people give a pain of this char
acter immediate attention. Since the
discovery by John Morrow, the cele
brated American chemist, of Morrow's
Kidneoids-those small, yellow tablets
that contain natures remedy for kid
ney disorders-this remedy has become
g. household article, and it is relied
upon just as often to avert terrible kid
ney complaints, when they are threat
ened, as to cure cases of long standing.
When any of the symptoms of kidney
Irregularities appear, such as backache,
nervousness, headache, irritable tenn
per, pain in urinating, etc, it is best to
take Morrow's Kidneoids at once and
ward off disease before it becomes firm
1y rooted.
A recent case of interest in which
Morrow's Kidneoids quickly gave relief
is that of w. H. Vivion, well-known
milliner of 20 West Main street, Spring.
field, Ohio. He gratefully tells the fol-
lowing story:

over the kidneys, and my general
health was somewhat impaired. When
ever I attempted to lift anything the
pain would become so excruciating
that I would be compelled to stop.
read of the many cures that were belng
made by Morrow's Kidneoids and de-
cided to try them. One box quickly re-
lieved me entirely of the pains, and my

boon to suffering humanity"

Lincoln j. Carter Presents "Chatta-

Chicago, June 29.-"Chattanooga," a
brand new war drama, by Lincoln j.
Carter, under the stage direction of Os-
car Eagle, was given at the Columbia

the villain role, headed a strong cast,
with Miss Blanche Bates as the leading
lady. The usual war drama love story
is well handled and the play fairly
bristles with thrilling scenes. The spec
tacular effects are remarkably we'll
worked out, especially in the last act, in
which the villain and the hero struggle
to the death on a rushing locomotive
tender. As played Chattanooga is
too long. That fault remedied, how
ever, it can hardly fail of success in its
line
