rlHE world is full of active men who
 ' direct the affairs of state, carry on

THE world is full of active men who IT direct the affairs of state, carry on 0 commerce and pursue the professions
 of science and art, but the perfectly healthy
 woman is far too scarce. There is crying
 need for sturdy mothers and active women
 who make themselves felt in the home and
 out of it. Women should really prepare
 themselves to undertake life s responsibili-
 ties. It is not strange that sickness is so common among women. The laborious duties of the housewife, coupled with the care of young children, are too much for the average woman whose delicately poised organs are easily upset. And women s natural modesty keeps them from com plaining about matters connected with the organs of generation. They will not tell the story of their suffering to doctor and they abhor local examinations and surgical operations. In this way thousands and thousands of women become invalids and the woman who is healthy and fit for every duty is hard to find. If every woman knew that Wine of Cardui invariably re- lieves female weakness when taken as di- rected there would be fewer sufferers. But all women do not yet realize that suffering female weakness is totally unnecessary when Wine of Cardui can be secured. The relief of over ,000, 900 suffering women by Wine of Cardui proves this statement.

Notwithstanding, Mr.. Restauranter

come of this sensational arrest and
exposure it should be a warning to
mothers and fathers to keep their lit
tie girls at home and to set their foot
down on them always galavanting
around the church parsonage,
and preachers, even though a
woman be the pastor instead
of man. Entirely too much social
liberty is given to pastors of Negro
churches and they become altogether
to familiar in the homes of the mem
bers and patrons Of their church, for
the family's moral good. There is a
place for them just the same as any
one else and when colored folk learn
to make them stay in their places they
will have less trouble along the line
that is now causing such a gloom to
hang over the colored church in this

Ringing Bros Excursions.

Special excursion rates on all lines
of travel have been arranged for by the
management of Ringing Bros. Worlds
Greatest Shows, and those who wish
to come to Seattle where this great
circus exhibits Monday and Tuesday,
August Is and 26, can do so at COM
paratively small expense. This will
be the only point in this vicinity where
the show will exhibit this season, and
no one should miss the opportunity to
see it. Ringing Bros Circus has been
the leading arenic exhibition of Ameri-
ca for several years, but the show is
never permitted to exist upon it's repu-
tation. Although it long ago passed
the point Of competition, every years
sees greater and grander show. This
years performance is entirely new,
and the magnitude of the exhibition
dwarfs anything of the kind ever be-
fore attempted. There is a great triple
ring exhibition given by 300 high-sala-
ried artists from all parts of the world;
a trained animal department, present
ing marvelously educated bears, seals,
dogs, ponies and elephants; a magnifi-
cent horse spectacle; vast menagerie,
which exhibits the only giraffe on
earth; gorgeous revival of the old
Roman hippodrOme and many other
great features. Circus day opens with
a brilliant street parade, two miles in
length. Don't fail to see it.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Down in Egypt.

The offering at the Third Avenue
Theatre Ior the week commencing
Sunday, August 18th, the opening bill
is the four-act sensational comedy,
Down in Egypt story of southern
illinois, written by Tom Wiedemann.
1t will be presented on Sunday, Mon
day and Tuesday nights. Wednesday
and Thursday the offering is the four
act southern comedy, Dixie Land"
and Friday and Saturday with Satur-
day matinee, the bill is the farcical
comedy, THE Steam Laundry" The
following is from the Tacoma Daily
Ledger of August 18th:
Manager Dean Worley made a decid-
ed hit with the Tacoma public in open
Ing the season at the Lyceum last
night with Tom Wiedemann's Down

few plays of the season will prove
more refreshing than this sprightly lit
tie comedy and the vaudeville attrac-
tons which accompany it. The story
is one of interest, dealing with scenes
IN Southern Illinois, 1t is Just such a
story as the public likes. The villain

the hero and heroine everything ends
happily. But even better than the play
are the specialties. Miss Nellie Wiede-

dances, and the astonishing Baptism

passed. All the other vaudeville fea-
lures are also fine.

Rev. Scott Arrested.

the community in general was star
tied last Tuesday when Rev. M. Scott
the well-known pastor of the Afro
Methodist Episcopal Church of this
city, was arrested and charged with
rape, having seduced Mary Hall, a
little girl just turned her fourteenth
year. The crime with which Mr.. Scott
has been charged was of a. nature that
no lenlency could be shown him by
the officers of the law, bail being de-
MED him of course he was compelled
to go to Jail Tuesday night and there
await his preliminary hearing. Pub
Tic opinion among the colored folk is
much divided as to the guilt or inno-
cence of the accused, but the parents
and friends of the little girl are posi-
tive that Mr.. Scott is guilty of all that
he has been charged with and even
more If the charge is sustained and
he is found guilty the punishment for
such crime is not less than ten years
in the state prison, and, if the Judge
sees fit, life Imprisonment can be
imposed.
Any man guilty of such a crime
should be sent to the state prison as
soon as he is convicted and the trial
judge should show no mercy whatever
to such criminal, regardless of his

been in charge of the A. M. E. church
in this city for the past two years and
during that time Mary Hall, her father
and brothers have been active mem
bers of the church, and, if it is true
that Mr.. Scott has taken advantage of |
this child, he did so because of the fact |
as spiritual adviser of the family he |
had every opportunity to do so. How |
ever, since he has been accused of |
no similar charge nor has any even |
been limited at, one hesitates as to the |
truthfulness of this charge.
During the two years that Rev. |
Scott has had charge of the A. M. E. |
church of this city he has done more, |
be it said to his credit, toward the up |
building Of the church and congrega- |
ton than all of the previous pastors
of that church combined, and had not |
this trouble occurred when it did, he
would have left next Monday for Port |
land to attend the annual conference
and there make the most brilliant re-
port that has ever been made for any
A. M. E. church in the Northwest.
The stewards declare that the church
is in better condition now than it ever
was before, and on the night of the day
that he was arrested a public enter
tainment had been arranged for his
benefit, at which the mortgage, which
has Deen hanging over the church for
so long, was TO be burned, while the
members and the pastor would rejoice
around it's burning pyre.
