COZ. BAlN's sEARCH-LIGHT
1t Revealed a Most Interesting Dis
cusslon OF Popular !:eas by
the Lecturer.
The Lecturer.

When Col Geo. w. Balm finished
his lecture on "The Twentieth
Century Search-Light'' Thursday
evening it was the unanimous
verdict that his was among the best,
If not the best, that has been given
in Mitchell in years. He had his
audience with him from the very
outset. and it followed him through
his flights Of oratory, it laughed at
his wit and applauded his argumen-
tatiye %eloquence, it listened sympa-
thetically to his plea for a higher
ideal in civilization, and gave dem
illustrative approval Of bis thoughts
on the questions of the day.
Having spent practically the en-
tire years of his l:fe in the south the
colonel thought he was able to say
something Of the negro question and
the solution of it. He declared that
the color line had nothing to do with
the matter in the least. and proved
it in several illustrations. He main
tained that it was simply the coDdi-
lions which surround the nergo that
prevents his rise in a higher atmos-
qhere. He believed that at the end of
the twentieth century, il. 1.-The negro
multiplied in the future as he has
since the close of the war, that there
will be 60, 200, 900 of them in this
country, and that the question that
is confronting us today is that we
must level up the negro to our stand
Hrd Or hegwill level US down.
He touched very Interestingly on
she immigration problem, trust
matters, expansion, and labor aud
capital. and what he had to say on
each was pertinent. In his closing
remarks he pleaded for "A more
an; versal brotherhood of man as an
easier solution Of the problems that
surround us than can be obtained
through any other source.

&c will not approach him until he has
thoroughly refreshed himself in this
ann
When ut last he goes to his bedside.
he first asks the patient if he is still
able to eat, and he next examines his
pulse. After the patient has barred his
entire forearm the physician places his
finger On the pulse and for several mo-
nents does not utter a word. Some.
times only one Of his fingers and at
other times all of them are employed
ut this work. When he breaks his ST.
Fence, he describes infinitely the disease
from which the patient is suffering and
writes a prescription. .
Then the doctor takes his leave,
promising to call again if necessary.
He receives, us a rule, no fee for this
service, but if he is a druggist he
charges a large price for the medicine,

Return of the Tailor Gown.

Tailors should really cease their
grumbling. as once more the tailor
made gown is most popular. The mill,
tary collar, a most severe test Of sar.
torial art, is again in vogue. Not only
has the neat, close fitting coat returned,
but even the old riding habit bodice is
seen, The box plated skirt, so popu-
lar, requires the heavy pressing and
ironing of the tailor. The simpler the
garment the harder the work.
