The Quinn Chapel congregation

The Quinn pChapel congregation is
among the most thrifty and intelligent
of Chicago's Afro-American citizens
and should be encouraged by the peo-
pie of Chicago, The church has an
excellent Sunday school with the other
f1ourishing societies, Lyceum, etc.
This society has had fifty years of
eyentful history It has purchased four
lots, erected four buildings for wor-
ship, suffering the destruction of two
church buildings by fire, removed eight
times, and under the Methodist itin-
Grant custom had twenty-five changes
of pastors, some of them being scholar
ly men and able preachers and divines
Yet, through all these vicissitudes they
have kept in advance with a fast hold
on the confidence of the people and the
estimate of the best citizens of Chi
cago.
Rev. J. M. Townsend took charge Of
the church in 1898. During his minis
tership more than 1000 members were
added to the church and in one year
$4,000 was raised The next pastor
was Rev. Geo. w. Booth, a scholarly
gentleman, who did good work during
his short pastorate.

and women there are who are engaged
in business of all kinds in remote
towns and who are succeeding in a
quiet way. The object of this meeting
will be to get hold of such people and
give them such encouragement and
advice as will enable them to do more
and better business. At the same time
a demonstration will be made of the
enterprises of the race that will do
much to help and strengthen it in the
eyes of the world. All persons en-
gagged in business who have not yet
communicated with Mr.. Washington
are urged to do so at Tuskegee, Ala,
at once. Such an effort deserves and
should receive the hearty encourage
ment and assistance of every man and
woman of the race interested in it's
future.

DOG AND PUPPY CRATES.
Made For the Convenient Transpor-
70 tation of These Animals,

Made For the Convenient Transport
tation of These Animals.
The dog that is shipped by express is
likely to travel in these days not only
In safety, but also in comfort. There
are various kinds Of dog crates made
especially for such use, some of them
fiat topped and some Of those of later
design gable topped and some oval
topped, so that nothing can be placed
on top Of them. Dog crates are made
in various sizes as well as styles, some
with open, Slated sides and ends some
closed all around, except for the open
spaces left for ventilation. Crates for
bulldogs and dogs that gnaw are made
with Stats that, whether separated or
set close together, are iron bound, so
that the dogs can't set their teeth in
the edges.
The dog crate is provided with a cup
for water which is so constructed that
the water can't spill out Of it, and this
cup is secured in the crate under the
end of a pipe to which there is an open
ing in the top Of the crate through
which the dog can be kept supplied
without opening the crate at all. At
tached to the front Of the crate Is the
dogs buffet, like a long canvas wallet
or envelope, in which the dogs food
is carried. The dog crate has at the
ends handles by which 1t can be picked
up and carried as trunk would be.
Besides these various sizes and styles
Of dog crates there are also made in
various sizes smaller, lighter crates for
puppies, and crates Of one sort and an
other of special sizes are made to or
der.
First and last there are sold good
many dog and puppy crates, and they
are regular articles Of stock where dog
supplies are sold.-New York Sun.
