FlEECED IGNORANT
NEGROES in SOUTH
FRAUD ORDER AGAINST CON.
Germ THAT ADVERTISED TO
TURN THEM WHITE.
By Associated Press,

Washington. June 9.-The postofice
department has had to call on the
bureau OF chemistry to determine
whether certain cosmetic advertised
In a Richmond, Va, paper could
make the negroes white folks. The
bureau Of chemistry examined the
cosmetic and it's constituent ingredi-
ents and said may"
The result Is a fraud order issued
to-day against DR. Winfield and Com
pany, 32l Brook avenue, Richmond,
Va. The company embraces a Madam
c. Avian ana they have been selling
a skin truck they call Marvin, .
which promises TO cure everything
from the blacklist skin to that tired
feeling" not emitting tapeworms.
The advertisement of the cureall
that makes white folks of niggers, -
recites in part as follows: Nothing
will whiten the skin as quickly as
Marvin, our wonderful discovery.
Marvin is to whiten and make beau
tiful the complexion. Rub ii in the
skin two or theree times a day and
the last thing at night. The skin be-
comes soft, smooth, clean and white
and viii remain so. Our discovery
thoroughly bleacheS the skin"
All this with much more of what
Marvin" will do for a negro. is ap-
propriately advertised in a Richmond
negro paper, called The True Re-
former" The postofice department
cited the company on May 13 to an
pear and show cause why a fraud or

May 20 was set and then the case was
continued a week and the representa-
tive OF the company in the person of
DR.. Winfield appeared.

HICKORY A GOOD AMERICAN.
Shellbark Variety Of Sturdy Tree vii
Grow in No Other Country.

The shellbark hickory is perhaps
the most interesting tree in this
country, because it is a strictly Ameri.
can tree and so welded to its native
soil that it refuses to become a citi-
zen of any other country. In the
sturdiness of its roots and trunk, in
the boldness in which it filings out its
tough branches in it's strong individu-
ality and character and in its general
fruitfulness, not forgetting the un-
eouth roughness of bark, It further
manifests its strong Americanism. It's
winter buds are large and interesting.
Early in spring the dark brown outer
scales fall away. The inner scales
then lengthen to protect the growing
leaf, sometimes attaining a length of
FIVE inches. These inner scales are
marvels of beauty, both in texture and
in color. The body of the scale is
thick and leatherly, while its surfaces,
especially the inner. are soft, with
silken nap gorgeously dyed in yellow,
orange and red, suggesting the chin
ney corner and the heat which glows
from a hickory log.

Remarkable Cure Of Dropsy by Dodd's

upon by those interested in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his faith.
er makes the following statement:
Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swol-
len TO such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good, and
two or three people said his days
were short even the doctors, two of
the best in the country told me he
would not get better. | stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodd S
Kidney Pills. | gave him three Pills a
day, one morning, noon and night for
eight days; at the end OF the eighth
day the swelling was all gone, but TO
give the medicine justice, / gave him
eleven more pills. | used thirty-five
Pills in all and he was entirely cured.

child's life. When the thirty-fve Pills
were given him, he could run, dance
and sing, whereas before he was an

At the conference of the managers
of the New York Central Lines, held
In New York June 9Th, all lines be-
ing represented by their General
Managers and Passenger officials, 1t
was decided, beginning with the regu-
lar summer change, Sunday, June
18th, to quicken the speed Of the
Twentieth Century Limited" so as
to make the time between New York
and Chicago eighteen hours instead Of
twenty hours, the New York Central
Lines having made the twenty hour
time during the past three years, and
having also made the run between
New York and Chicago In twenty
hours with their Exposition Flyer"
for the one hundred and eighty days
of the Columbian Exposition in Chi
cago in 1898, twelve years ago.
The New York Central Lines make
the point that the New York Central
has had in service the Empire State
Express" which has been the fastest
train in the world for its distance,
4+0 miles for fourteen years, having
held the worlds record for that time,
and for three years and $50 days hay-
ing held the worlds record for a
thousand mile train in twenty hours.
The proposed schedule OF eighteen
hours is simply the extension OF the
time Of the Empire State Express"
through from Buffalo TO Chicago. the
time having been made for fourteen
years between New York and Buffalo.
On this new schedule, the train will
leave Chicago at 2:30 D. m, arriving
Grand Central Station. New York,
at $3.50 next morning, and returning,
will leave New York $3.50 D. m. reach
ing Chicago $3.50 a. m. following day.
At the same time, the Lake Shore
Limited" will be quickened up an
hour, and will make the time from
Chicago to New York In 23 hours In.

The relation of the nerves and gen.

DANGER OF DUST IN MINES.
Peril is Pointed Out on Paper by 4
Noted Engineer.

Peril is POINTED Out on Paper by a
Noted Engineer.
At a recent meeting of mining en-
gineers held in Leeds, w. H. Picker
ing, British mining inspector, read a
paper on "The Dust Danger" The i'm
portance of dust as a factor in colliery
explosions was he said, now generally
recognized and understood. Provis-
ions had been introduced in the coal
mine regulation act regulating the use
of explosives in dry and dusty places
and the "eXplosives-in-coal- mines" or
der had been issued by the home sec.
retary.
In a few mines dust was systemati.
cally laid by watering, but no wide.
spread effort had been made to strike
at the root of the danger. Permitted
explosives were only relatively safe,
for each one of them was capable of
initiating an explosion under certain
conditions, and it could not be too
often repeated and emphasized that a
dust explosion could be started in
other ways than by an explosive.
Ignition of fire-damp might result from
a naked lamp or from a damaged or
defective lump or from a spark from
a pick or an electric spark, and this
might be magnified by dust into a
great explosion. Dust also increased
the danger of underground fires.
Obviously, the only way of remedy
ing the danger was to keep the mines
free from coal dust by cutting off the
supply or by other means. AS long as
dusty roads were allowed in the mines
the coal industry was under the dark
shadow of a coming great disaster.
The looming danger was recognized
by all and he submitted that this pc
riod of peace and immunity was the
time to take practical steps to avoid
the danger. He believed a discussion
would show that it was reasonably
practicable to keep moist mines com
paratively free from dust that was
dangerous and this freedom would
conduce to safety and to health and
comfort as well.
