the thanks entirely to Paine's Celery Com

252 w. 24th Street, New York City.
The Cause of Rheumatism.
1t was Professor Edward f. Phelps,
NJ. d, LII. d, of Dartmouth College. the
famous discoverer of Paine's Celery Com
pound. who laid down the principle:
Trace every disease or pain to
the TRUE CAUSE. Pain is only
the sign or symptom. 1t is idle
TO treat the pain itself. The only
true cure for suffering is the cure
that CURES THE TRUE CAUSE
inner NERVE weakness"
When the organs that make and purify
blood are not doing their work properly,
the system fills with effete, poisonous
matter This collecting in the muscles
and joints. and along the nerves. causes
rheumatism, Govt, Lumbago, and their
kindred ills.
To try TO make the blood-purifyng or
gans do their work by local medicines is
not only waste Of time. but harmful. The
one way to restore such organs to ac-
tivity is to giveto thelnervea the strength
to make the organs do their work.
That is the wise and scientific course
by which Professor Phelps's discovery,
Paine's Celery Compound, does its work
and achieves its astonishing victories.
1t cures not only rheumatism, but every
disease or pain or ache that results from
any arrangement of the inner organs.
All the organs of the body depend
on the INNER NERVES, and Paine's
Celery Compound gives the nerve
system the strength to make all the
,rqans work in health and harmony.

MISSISSIPPPS FAVORITE
son REV. Z. w. LAMP
TON. d, D.

The approaching General Con
ference of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church suggests the
idea to me to say a few words in
behalf of Mississippi's favOrite
son, Rev. e. w. Hampton, d. D.,
as his own successor as financial
secretary of this great connection.
Four years ago when Mississippi
offered him for the place some
could reasonably plead as an eX-
cuse for Withholding their support
that they doubted his ability to
successfully handle this depart
ment. But God, in His alI-wise
Providence having seen proper to
take unto himself the lamented
DR.. Hubbard, an incident the en-
tire church regretted, the good
Bishops in their wisdom selected
DR.. Hampton to fill the unexpired
term. Without rejecting the least
upon any of those who have hither
to managed this department, /
venture the assertion that the of
fee has never been handled better
since it's organization. Like Pres
ident Roosevelt in succeeding the
late President Mckinley, he does
not feel fully licensed to do all
that he might do, because he has
not been elected by the general
church. His work of about three
years as an appointee is only al
fOretaste of what we may expect
during the next qUadrenium, if
by the next general confer
ance. A man by nature a finan
cier, strong in executive ability,
reader as well as leader of men,
and polished gentleman, he easily
carries to the Office a fitness but
few are blessed to possess. His
work in this State alone, for the
Masonic order and race,
towers above that of any other
coIored man living or dead, ex-

ceptlng possibly the lamented Dr.
ThOs. w. Stringer.
Taking charge of the Masonic
order in this State when disin-
tegratiOn seemed eminent, he has
by his efforts, above that of anyone
else, made it the greatest financial
lever in the State, and possibly the
South, operated by our people.
From depleted treasury in 1898
he has developed it into a full one
carrying a balance always from
twenty thousand to fifty thousand
dollars, and paying out ON an aver
age of six thousand dollars per
month to widows and orphans of
deceased members. Such is the
result of the great fnancier, DR..
E. w. Hampton, whom every one
in Mississippi, not only in the a.
NJ. e. Church, but every sect and
creed, race and color shall delight
to see elected financial secretary.
In offering him, we entertain no
selfish motives, but are fully salts
fled we offer one of the best-fitted
men in the race for the place. In
"a few instances it is intimated
that all of the delegates will not
be for LamptOn's election. Hav-
ing lived in this State all my life
and most of the time an active
layman in the A. NJ. E. Church,
am inclined to think I know
something of the sentiment in the
State as regards the doctor. If
there are any who are quietly OPP
posing him either ministerial or
lay delegates they do not represent
the constituency at whose hands
they were elected, and could not
have been elected by any electoral
college or annual conference in the
Stat had it been known that they
were in the least opposed to the
election of Hampton as financial
secretary. This is saying a great
deal, but anyone conversant with
hurch affairs in this State can no.
truthfully contradict the asser-
tiOn. The idea that the delegation
from Mississippi will offer candi-
dates for other places besides that
of financial secretary is erroneous
and misleading, and need not be
given any serious consideration.
When the general conference as
all delegates from Missis-
sippi will be found in the Hampton
column first, last, and all the
time, or report to their cOnstitu-
ency the reason why.

until July Ist to make their payments of
the boat
When July Ist came the Co. had gone
through many difficulties and had lost
money by operating the steamer and did
not raise any money to pay off the crew
nor to make the other payment Ac-
cording to promise was compelled to
make another payment to the owner
which amounted to $I,o5o and also pay
the crew so the F. T. L. and Imp. Co.,
could operate the steamer during the
month as this was profitable month for
our Co., but owing to the losses of our
Co. in June, it took the profit of July to
cover it. August Ist arrived and the
sum of $4,000 was due. Still there was
not any money in the hands of our
company. We received a notice from
the owners stating that $4,000 and over
was due and threatening to take the boat
if it was not paid at once.
The F. T. L., and Imp. Co. had
meeting and the notice was read to it.
The threat was discussed and no money
being raised by them, I, Lewis Jefferson,
offered to pay one-third of the full
amount of 10000, if the remainder was
raised by it AS it failed to do this,
offered to pay one-half of the entire
bill if the company would raise the 9th
er, but it did not do it, so you can plain
ly see my situation.
l went TO Baltimore again and placed
in the hands of Mr. Isaac Filbert the
sum of $1,000 with the understanding
that the Co. would be given more time
to make their payments. He notified the
Co. that if something was not done by
August 9TH he would certainly send some
one with written authority to take
charge of the steamer This notice was
received and discussed between the Pres
ident, secretary, myself and others of
our company, but we could not come to
any agreement as to how the money
could be raised in such a short time.
The next day I received a letter from
Mr.. Isaac Filbert, President of the Jane
Mo5eley Steamboat Company, advising
me to take charge of and operate the
steamer until further orders.
l told our company as long as 1 was
in charge, they still had chance to
make their payments and save the steam
er, as l had made arrangements with
the owners to that effect. 1 went to
Baltimore with the steamer, August 9Th,
as we didn't have any more charters un-
til August 23rd. l carried out the work
in Baltimore all right and we returned
to Washington in time to finish up all
the work for the season.
All this time our company had done
nothing, only few being willing to put
up any money to save the steamer. l
did receive in cash $Ioo each from two
members of the company to use as if
1t was my own to try and save the
steamer 1t is very plainly seen how |
and by whom'th steamer was kept here |
to carry out the work for Churches and |
other organizations of the city. Some |
of the same our company had received !
