INTERESTING LECTURE.
What a Black Man Saw in a White
Mans Country,

The fair and bazaar which is being held
in the parlors Of the Norwegian-Danish
Nj. E. church at thirteenth and Broad
way is being largely patronized The
church has debt of s., 000 and while the
committee having the fair in charge do
not expect to realize a sufficient sum to
lift the debt, a good sum will be secured.
In addition to the usual attractions in
the way of fancy articles and light re-
freshments visitors to the fair evenings
are entertained by short stalks by inter-
estjng speakers.
Last evening Rev. w. S. Brooks, pastor
of st. Peters African N. E. church. of
Minneapolis, gave brief DESCRIPTION of
his visit to Sweden and Norway four
years ago under the title of "NNhat a.
Black Man Saw in a White Mans Coun-
try" The lecture by Rev Brooks was
in the nature of an unconventional talk
about his trip TO Scandinavia, and as he
is a negro, and, to the Scandinaviaps in
parts of Sweden and Norway, was a real
curiosity, the story of his visit was rep,eta
with humorous incidents and anecdotes
On the way over to Liverpool Rev.
Brooks preached a sermon to the 500 pas
sengers on the steamer and also sang a
hymn in Swedish. This accomplishments
as ne explained to the audience last even
ing, lust lit up the boat and at the
conclusion of his musical effort the pas
SenSerS SAID, Nv nat kind Of man can
that niger be?'' His description of his
actions and experience at a fashionable
dinner given in his honor after his arrival
in Sweden was laughable, the more so for
the manner in which he related it. In
Stockh holm he was granted an interview
with King Oscar, and when ushered into
the king, being Unacquainted with royal
etiquette, he gave the king IAN American
bow
During his tour Rev. Brooks lectured,
through an Interpreter, on slavery, and
was, as he stated, warmly received
at all cities and villages where he spoke
The natives had never had the pleasure
of seeing an African-American before,
and at various points he was piled with
questions as to why the palms of his
hands were white and the back of them
black and IF all his people had such
beautiful hair Rev Brooks admitted to
his audience last evening that ION one
occasion a persistent young lady secured
a lock of his hair" as a souvenir
Returning to this country he stopped a
few days at Manchester, Eng. and being
arrayed in peaked shoes, plug hat and
a black cape OvercOat, he was pointed out
on the streets as the African prince"
This, the lecturer said, made me feel
mighty big until 1 asked a policeman.
But when he told me they took me for
4 prisoner who had been brought from
Natal, 1 went back to my room quick,
took off my plug hat, and didn't go out
on the streets any more"
The fair will close this evening, Rev.
Joseph c. Anderson. of the ST. James
African NJ. E. church of this city, being
scheduled to deliver an address.

QUICKLY RENOVATES THE
ENTIRE BODY.

Improper food is responsible for many
ailments of humanity.
When one finds a sickness impending
it is safer to make radical change in
the food than to go to self-drugglng.
Your physician would tell you that is
true.
There are times when one needs the
advice and care of a physician. but for
slight disorders the surest and safest way
is to change the food completely.
Try, for example, for ten days the fol-
lowing breakfast: A little fruit QittIe if
any sugar., a dish of GTape-Nuts "a.
famous breakfast food and cream, a cup
of Postum Cereal Food Coffee and moth
ing more. Our word for it, you will feel
a distinct gain in health and strength
much as if the whole body had been wash
ed clean and put in first-class order 1t
is certainly worth trial if active good
health is worth anything

ment In falling Cahill struck a large

been employed at the Minnesota Trans
fer. He made his home at the Transit

III LABCR'S

The American Federationist for August,
in an editorial on Labor day, among other
things SAYS: eff this special day was set
apart to convey no greater idea than that
of a DAYS relaxation from toll, then its
title of Labor day would be most
ridiculous missioner; but we, the foun-
ders Of this festival, know that 1t has
been we'll and truly named, and that Its
title is full fraught with meaning, sense
and import Labor day has been
instituted to afford the workers an oppo-
tunity to review their past efforts; to re-
kindle the, enthusiasm of those grown
weary and worn in labOr'S struggles, and
to strengthen the aspirations of all who

HIS MONEY STOLEN.
Frederick Butenhoff Loses S493 That
He Had Saved.

Frederick Butenhcff, market gardener,
living two miles outside the city, on the
Hudson road, reported to the police yes
terday that Monday he had been robbed
of $493. The stolen money consisted of
5000 in gold and the balance currency of
various denominations. The wealth was
hidden in a closet.
Frome the circumstances surrounding
the robbery, it is believed the money was
taken by some one familiar with the Bu-
tenhoff household. The money was kept
hidden in the closet, and the key secreted
under a rug in front of the door. Monday
morning Mr.. and Mrs. Butenhoff went to
the barn early to prepare the morning
load of vegetables for market. Butenhof
drove to town with the load and the wife

USED HER PARASOL.
Mrs. Jacob SickIes Lambastes Detec-
tive George Wells.


Mrs Jacob Sickles has such a violent
dislike for Detective George Wells that
she could not restrain her wrath when
she met the detective leaving the NUM-
cipaI court room yesterday, and attack
ed the officer with her parasOl. She
smote Detective Wells over the head,
denting his derby and then brought the
sunshade viciously across his face. The
irate woman inflicted no particular dam
aga, and before she could WELD the para
sol a third time Detective Wells caught
and held her. Mrs. Sickles was marched
back into the court room and charged
with assault and battery.
The episode grew out of the arrest of
Jacob Sickles on the charge of having
stolen property in his possession. He was
arrested in company with Sam Laff, at
Thirteenth and Jackson street, Monday.
Detective Wells made the arrest. Yester-
day the police had not succeeded in find
ing an owner for the half dozen pairs
of trousers found in Sickles' possession
and he and Laff were discharged Mrs
Sickles was in court. She and her hus-
band started to leave the room about
the time Detective Wells went out and
the encounter took place just outside the
court room door.
When arraigned7 on the charge of as
sault and battery Mrs. Sickles demanded
a jury trial The trial was set for next
Wednesday, Mrs. Sickles was released on
S15 bail.

RESIDENCE ROBBED.
Burglars Enter Gerhard BOhn's
Home During FamiIy,s Absence.

Absence
The residence of Gerhard Bohn, 376
Bates avenue, which has been vacant
while the family is at the lake, was raid
ed by burglars Sunday or Monday. The
thieves secured an entrance by forcing
open rear window, and searched the
house from cellar to garnet. The booty
carried off by the burglars, so far as
known at present, consisted entirely of
cut glassware, valued al $50.
The burglary was discovered by Miss
Bohn Tuesday, when she came in from
the lake. On entering the house the dis
ordered condition of the rooms attracted
her attention, and a further examination
showed that thieves had been in the
place. An odd feature of the robbery is
that the burglars overlooker, or purposely
left, a quantity of valuable silverware,
apparently preferring the cut glass. The
police think the burglars intended making
a big haul at the BOhn residence, but
were probably frightened away before
completing the job.
The robbery was reported to the Mar
garet street station and officers are in
vestigating the case.

LEAK IN THE MAIN.
West Side Will BE Temporarily
without Water Supply.

The leak in the water main which sup
plies the West side with city water will
probably be repaired today. For the
past ten days a force of men from the
water department under direction of
Supt. Starkey have been engaged in
building a cofferdam in the river near
one of the piers of the Broadway bridge,
where the leak in the main was located.
The work was completed last evening,
and today the water will be pumped out
of the dam and the magnitude OF the
leak ascertained.
President Wolterstorff, of the water
board, in speaking Of the matter last
evening said the leak was undoubtedly
caused by the siXteen-inch main
settling and springing a leak at one of
the joints. The main was laid eleven
years ago, and is the only one which fur
nishes the supply of water to the resi-
dents of the West side. The repairs to
the main, Mr.. Wolterstorff said, would
be made as quickly as possible, and,
while the water would have to be shut
off for time, he did not anticipate that
the West side patrons would be incon-
venienced for longer than half day, and
possibly not that long.
