DUPING THE NEGROES.

The information should be circulated
among the southern negroes that there
is no demand; at all for laborers in Lii
IBERIA, and that all emigration societies
designed to ship negroes to that coun-
try are little better than catch-penny
frauds. AS many OF the emigrantS
as can find money to pay their passage
back have returned to this country
showing evidences of great hardship
and suffering and telling tales lat
ought to discourage the movement. The
method of the societies are to send
plausible agents among the colOred
people of the south with brilliantly il
Illuminated posters and pamphlets rep
resenting Liberia to be land of milk
and honey, like Canaan of the Israel
ties, and selling tickets to those who
wish to go. The tickets are paid for
on the iTStalment plan, SO much a
month, but il the full price is not paid
within certain time all previous pay
mentS are forfeited. In this way the
companies have made a profitable en-
terprisc of the Liberian cause, because
not one in ten Of their subscribers ever

a!tions Of TIE contract. A. nan with

BLIND TOM.

That prodigy in the musical world,
Blind Tom, anDeared at the Pike last
night. It would be but a multiplied
tom OF words to attempt to describe
the wonderful talent for music this
oGlOred man has. There has never been
MS equal. Last night he, as usual, de-
lighted all who heard him. In his play
ing Of BeethOVen's Sonata, Pathet-
icque, Paderewski's MinUette, and
other high class compositions, he dis
played his marvellous memory and ap-
nreciation of the fine phrasing in them.
HIS playing was perfect.
He gave a; number of limitations of
various sounds so accurately that one
not seeing him would believe thew
heard the sounds from the instruments

ANNUAL GATHERING OF CHRIS
TIAN CHURCH AT ANACONDA
NEXT WEEK.
Its the Quarter Century Anniversary
in the State-May Employ a Field
Evangelist-The Financial and
Spiritual Phases of the Church
Will Be Discussed-Elabo-
rate Programme Will Be
Carried Out.

At the twenty-first annual convention
Of the Christian churches in Montana, to
be held in Anaconda next week, begin
ming August %, there will be represented
is organized congregations. This repre-
sents the total growth of the Christian
creed in the state of Montana from the
time the first church was founded. In
the aggregate the number Of active men,
bers will reach 1900 people or more.
Fully this many more members Of the
church are in the state, but are not iden-
titled with any organization. 1t is one
of the purposes of the coming convention
to reach, If possible, these outside men,
bers. Circuit riding by parish ministers
has been tried and is a failure, for the
simple reason that the expenses of such
work are too great.
Rev. Frank Minnick of Anaconda will
during the coming convention propose a
field evangelist. It is thought that the
outside members of the church in this
state could easily support and sustain
such a field worker and that the results
in a year would be incalculable.
The principal congregations of the
state are located in the following towns
and cities: Anaconda, Butte, Helena,
Missoula, Bozeman, Deer Lodge. Hamil-
ION, 1Wlu bridges anu CORVALLIS.
Strange to relate, among these the
congregation at Corvallis, one of the
smallest places in the state, is also one
of the oldest. In addition to these or
ganized churches there are six others in
the state, and partial one in Philips
burg.
These Is organizations support IL min
listers. and these are all expected to be
in attendance at the convention, together
with about 4S or so delegates selected
from the various congregations. G. w.
Muckley of Kansas City, corresponding
secretary for the church extension board,
will be present Friday evening, the 3Oth
instant, and address the convention.
The church extension board is for the
purpose of loaning money to weak dis
tricts to assist in the building OF
churches, this money to be paid pack
to the board gradually, thus making a
perpetual fund.
