All our sister denominations are
putting to the front their ablest and

possess traits of leadership, and whose
thoughts and actions can command the
respect of the thinking and inteIIiaent
public. There are two men among
the men in the African Methodist
Church, who are discussed more than
any two colored churchmen in the
country By friends and foes. These
two great characters differ largely in
temperament, and possibly in methods.
But whose loyalty to the cause and
interest of the church is beyond uues-
tion. I refer to DR.. w. D. ChappeIIe.
secretary Of the Sunday School Union,
and Rev. S. Timothy Tice, P. E, of the
New York conference. DR.. ChappeIIe
has been a most forcefuI character.
and prominently before the church and
country for quite a number of years.
As pastor and presiding elder, as a
college president, in his native state,
he has stood out as a beacon light,
spotless in character, aggressive in
zeal, a hard, successful worker, a man
OF independent thought and action, a
bold champion of right. DR.. ChappelIe
stands in many respects without an
equal in the church. He has been as
sailed by that class who believe in
crushing free speech and whose de-
lights were to dominate the weak. He
has been betrayed by untrue friends,
and yet, he has borne with patience
never yielding a single contention of
right. DR.. ChappeIIe is a true, honest,

The Easter services at Metropolitan
a. NJ. E. Zion Church, on D Street,
S. w, last Sunday were of an inter
esting and high order. The church,
Sabbath School, and choir had united
in getting out an elaborate program,
which was executed with satisfaction
to the large audience which attended
Zion Wesley to participate in and to
witness the execution of the special
program. The church was tastefully
decorated with flowers, palms and
everything that indicated new life.
Among all of these decorations hung
beautiful bird cages, and their occu-
pants tutored by nature, mingled their
sweet notes with the charming melody
and harmony of the choir conducted
by that gifted vocalist and master Of
song. Joseph T. Newman. AS the ex-
ercises progressed the church was fill
ed with the holy spirit and took on a
sacred and sweet holiness. which
seemed like heavenly joy made richer
and sublimer by the presence and in
fuence of angelic anthems.

ATE OUT. Boy Condemned to Die Ate His Way to Health.

The foster mothers story of how powerful food built up her boy is in- tensely interesting.
 T have an adopted son who was 12 years of age at the time I first began to use Grape-Nuts. About that time three of the best physicians in Evans vile told me he would die of consump- ton before he was IA.
 He was also afflicted with gastritis and that is what first called my atten- ton to this famous food three years ago. for l knew Grape Nuts was good for all stomach troubles.
 Since that time he has eaten noth- ing but Grape-Nuts for breakfast and supper and instead of being dead with consumption he now weighs 140 pounds, stands 5 it. 714 inches high. and has big hard and well developed muscles. Is in the second year of the high school and claims that where study used to be difficult it is now clear as day and without any great effort on his part. The boy himself at tributes his splendid health and active brain to his steady, faithful use of GrapeNuts food.
 We also have a grandfather living with us who is so years of age and althouSh cOnIned 10 his room DE old age has gained considerably in flesh. His nerves that were a perfect wreck are now steady and right since he be- gan to use Grape-Nuts regularly.

FACTS ABOUT COATS.
Uncle Sam Finds They Are Among His Valuable Possessions.

Valuable Possessions. Uncle Sam has counted his goats. l The funny persons of the United States
 had been paying attention to them long before Uncle sam did. but they did not not spread quite the same facts about 1 them. According to them. the goat is
 really only humorous object. living mostly on ash heaps and eating loose property. such as shirts hung out 70 dry.
 But Uncle sam finds that his goats are extremely valuable possessions of 1 the United States. His census man collected the figures from all the States and found to their amazement that
 there are almost 100000 in this coun- try.
 There are more than 1871. .OOO on farms only. More than 700, 900 are the beautiful Angora goats, but the rest. which are just plain. ordinary common goats. are not to be despised. The val ue of all the goats on the farms is estimated al being a little more than S3.25O, GOO.
 Yet with all these goats in the coun- try the United States still imports all of it's goatskins from other lands. This
 is not due to the fact that the business ! ! imports oI goatskins amounted to $25,- | 100000, but the fact appears to be that
 the goat herders and the goat skin makers of other countries demand so
 little money and live so poorly that there is nothing in it for the American farmer, and he prefers to raise his goats for their hair, as in the case of the AngOras. while he uses the common goat to furnish milk and meat l The $25 100000 worth of goat skins
 that are imported by Uncle sam each year gives work to many strange races,
 and draws on goat herds from Uruguay
 and Australia to the White sea in
 Russia and Labrador in far northern Canada.
 On the oceanic peaks of the Azores
 in the beautiful Madeira islands, where
 the days are all as dreams, afar in the
 wild country around the Black sea, high
 among the clouds of the Swiss alps,
 the herds are feeding today to furnish
 skins for the shoes and gloves and oth-
 CT wearing material of the boys and
 girls of the United States.
 The soft, velvety skin that forms your gloves today may have passed through adventures before it reached
 you that would make q story in the most thrilling of story books seem tame. The goat that bore it may have
 scampered over the barren plains of
 Russia with wolves at her heels. A Servian mountaineer may have driven l her over the black mountain defles ot
 his native land to save her from the Turks. An Arab may have driven her | through the pastures of the Holy Land.
 Even the Himalayas, distant though they be from civilization. fed and shel- tered to furnish American clothing. l The fierce mon of Tripoli escorted long Icaravens across the burning African lands to bring the goatskins safe to port that they might be shipped to New l York and RoSton On some rusty. bat tered tramp steamer that has poke ! II her ugly and prosdic nose into all the lands of Washington Times.

POWER OF A WoMAN's EYES.
The Last Thing a Man Remember;
 About a Girl.

The very first thing. a man sees when
 he looks at a. girl is her eyes; the very
 last thing he remembers after she has
 passed out of his life is-her eyes. Long after he has forgotten the color of her
 hair, the dimnle in her chin and the
 soft, sweet sound of her voice, the look
 in her eyes will remain with him.
 He may not he able to single her
 glove out of his pile of keepsakes; he
 may have cast her photograph upside down into the waste basket with a lot
 of others; the slippers she made him
 may have been worn out by his valet.
 but still some particular turn of her
 glance. some little trick of dropping
 her lashes or of lifting her brown eyes
 will be as clear to him as the daylight. Ten years after love has been laid away in his little satin-lined casket that glance will rise like Banquo s
 ghost at the feast and startle him just
 at the moment when the man is looking into the eyes of another woman. It is not the color of Woman's eyes which a man first observes or last re- members. Nine times out of ten a man will turn from the glance of a pair Of soft, brown, cow-like eyes, to gaze into the green orhs of the red-headed girl Ion the other side of the table, and lmany a doll-like blue-eyed beauty weeps because some pug-no5ed, tawny eyed woman has lured away her sweet heart.
 Ask any man the color of his sisters eyes and he will look at you blankly. "Jove." he will remark, IT believe I've forgotten. But they're all right. There's something about them that's | catchy" And that is positively all that can be gotten out of him.
 The fact that Becky Sharpe's eyes
 were green or that CIeopatra's eyes were yellow never interfered with the uachinations of those fascinating la dies, nor dulled their regulations as coCuettes Color. size and shape may make an eye beautiful, but they never can give it that something which so many beautiful eyes lack and so many homely ones possess-the power to make a man break bank or sell his overcoat III order to give his wife wh0 t she wants.
 When the world was sentimental men called it soul" Then they grew practical and apathetic and they called
 it "character.'' But no man will over
 know what i: is any more than he will
 ever know why he mar jed the partio- rlar woman he picked out or why the cook has left. It is question as sub
 tie and elusive as either of these.

REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS
R. H. Greene Buys Forty-three Lots in
 the Irvine Addition.

The biggest sale of vacant residence property that has been made in this city for a long time was consummated yesterday when F.. Irvine sold to F. H. Greene his entire holdings in the IT, vine addition, forty-three lots. The sale was consummated through the agency of J Ernest Walker. MT. Greene has had considerable property in that addition listed himself and has made so many sales recently that he considered it a good speculation to get hold of the re- maining vacant property and keep it on demand for patrons who from time to time in the near future will want tC build residences In this city. That portion of the city is topogra phically little lower than the additions on the north side and has not been held at as fancy prices as have lots in some of the other additions, but it has been demonstrated time and time again that most any kind of lot in this town was a good thing to own. The Irvine addi- ton is plated. streets laid out and graded and it is within the corporation so it is bound to participate in future prosperity and enjoy it's pro rata raise in values.
 MT Walker has also made two or three other deals within a day or two that are worthy of notice. One of them was for Hon. Ben Goldrich, who said three lots in the University addition to Helena H. Walker. Another was the sale of M. F.. Collins ranch, southeast of the asylum, to Louis Wetzler. who had it leased and who also owned the adjoining property, both being devoted to the purposes of market gardening. in which business he is engaged.
 Mir. Walker also sold a ranch owned hy himself and l.. E. Allen to City Ec- gineer O. c. Thompson. The prope: ty is known as the Arthur w Hoffman ranch and is situated three miles north of the beet sugar factory site near Glen dale. It is an eighty-acre tract, partly in alfalfa and there is a good house on it.
