is safe to say that by their conduct at
Louisville, and at the Boston meeting
of the National Negro Business
League, Trotter and his crew have
done more to injure the cause of the
race in the estimation of the people of
the country than can be overcome by
years of hard, honest effort. 1t is high
time that the race frown down such
crazy, desperate characters as Trotter,
and place the seal of their disappro-
val upon them in such an unmis staka-
blue way that he who runs may read.
1t is worth while to emphasize the
fact that DR.. Washington has during
the past six months spoken dozen or
more times in white churches in BOs-
ton, but Trotter and his gang made no
disturbance in any of them; they
waited until DR.. Washington was to
speak at a church of his own race,
crowded by the flower of the races

 He looked at me in surprise.
 "I was not aware that Sibyl went to New York; he said. But then she has told me almost nothing of her doings. Before she left the house upon this wild adventure she begged the right to keep me in the dark, I want you to tell me- she said, that may really lie to you if necessary. I don't see how I can get along without it. And then she laughed at me and petted me for stu pid old fellow who had been kind to her, but was too transparent to be trusted with her mysteries.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR GROUP

From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globej
 This Is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neighbor- hood One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by a whoop from one of the children. The croup reme- dies are almost as sure to be lost, in case of croup, as revolver is sure to be lost in case of burglars. There used to be an old-fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and tolu, but some modern mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is bet ter and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to ''throw up the .phlegm" quicker and gives relief in a shorter time. Give this remedy as soon as the croupy cough appears and it will prevent. the attack. It never fails and is pleasant to take. For sale by all druggists.
