PLANS A NEGRO HAVEN
BISHOP SMITH FINDS A CHANCE
FOR THOUSANDS.

NEW YORK, November 24-An effort
will be made to give those negroes in
America who are dissatisfied with their
present station in society an opportunity
| to migrate and settle in Liberia. Bishop
| c. s. Smith of Detroit, Mich. of the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal Church is in New
York on his way to western Africa to see
what may be done.
opportunity to settle in western Africa
will be given to the thousands of negroes
| who are praying for relief from the injus-
tice and discrimination to which they are
suhjecte4 IL my mission there proves sue
cessful," said Bishop Smith last night.
Bishop Smith addressed the congregation
of the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal
Church. in West 18th street, last night, or
the negro question OF the Presidents or
der dismissing without honor the three
negro companies of the 18th. Infantry he
said
II have not the remotest idea that color
entered into the consideration of the order
of dismissal, nor do l wish to be consid-
cred as criticisng the President, in whom
1 have the greatest confidence; but the
Presidents action is contrary to the pub
lie sense of established justice. That $50
men should be punished for the wrong
doing of eight men is, to say the least. con-
trary to the spirit of fair dealing.
1.-THE part / don't like about the Pres-
dents order in particular Is that 1t was
made public the day after election. This
savors of political intrigue. If it had been
issued before election / am sure that the
result in many congressional districts
would have been different. 1t certainly
would have meant that Hughes plurality
in this state would have been cut down and
possibly Hearst might have been elected"
Referring to Senator Tiliman's statement
in a speech at Atlanta, Ca, that there
are not enough Yankees between Cape Cod
and hell to prevent southern people from
doing they please with the negro"
Bishop Smith said that there not
enough THlmanites between Cape Cod and
hell to hurl the American negro back into
slavery or permanently impair his onward
march"
Bishop Smith characterized the Rev.
Thomas Dixon jr., as degenerate son
Of perdition. who has stolen the livery of
heaven to serve the devil and who has
forfeited his right to live. deserves to die
and to die the death of a cur dog

Tl1eValule of Charcoal.
FEW PEOPLE KNOW HOW USEFUL IT IS IN
PRESERVING HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is tho
safest and most efficient disinfeetant and purifier
In nature but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same cleansing pur-
pose
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take Of
1t the better; 1t Is not drug at all. but simply
absorbs the gases and impurities always present In
the stomach and intestines and carries them out
of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking,
drinking after eating onions and other odorous
vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves the com.
pIexion 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as
natural and eminently safe cathartc.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which collect in
the stomach and bowels; 1t disInfects the mouth
and throat from the poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form another
but probably the best charcoal and the most for
the money Is In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered Willow char
coal and other harmless antiseptics In tablet FORM
or rather in the form OF large. pleasant-tasting
Iozenges the charcoal being mixed with honey.
The daily use OF these lozenges win tell In
a much improved condition Of the general health,
better complexion. sweeter breath and purer blood.
and the beauty Of 1t is that no possible harm can
result from their continued use. but. on the con-
trary. great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits
of charcoal, says: 1T advise Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenees to all patients suffering from gas stom-
ach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throat; also be-
Heve the liver Is greatly benefited By the daily use
Of them; they cost but twenty-five cents box at
drug stores. and although In some sense pat
ent preparation, yet believe get more and bet
ter charcoal in Stuarts Charcoal Loxenges than In
any Of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

MORMON PRESIDENT FINED.
Result Of the Birth of Smiths Forty
Third Child.

SALT LAKE CITY, November 24.-Jo-
seph F. Smith, president of the Mormon
Church, this afternoon appeared in the dis
trict court before Judge .Ritchie and plead
ed guilty to a charge Of unlawful cohabita-
ton A fine of $500 was imposed.
The charge under which the Mormon
president was arrested and fined was based
on the recent birth of his forty-third child.
The mother Is President Smiths fifth wife.
Early today counsel for President Smith
obtained transfer Of the case from Judge
Armstrong; division of the criminal court
to Judge Ritchie's division. After the noon
recess when the court was deserted, Pres
ident Smith went before Judge Ritchie and
offered his plea. The fine was then i'm
posed.
President Smith addressed the court. say
ing that his latest marriage took place in
1884 All his marriages. he said were en-
tered into with the sanction OF his church
and, as the members Of the church believed,
with the approval of the Lord. According
to his faith and the law of the church the
unions were eternal. He continued:
I'm the tacit general understanding that
was had in 1890 and the years subsequent
thereto regarding what were classed as the
old cases of cohabitation l have appre-
ciated the magnanimity of the American
people in not enforcing policy that in
their minds was unnecessarily harsh, but
which assigned the settlement Of this diff
ficult problem to the onward progress of
time.
s'Since the year 1890 a large percentage
of the polygamous families have ceased to
exist until now the number within the juris-
dietion of this court is small, and mar
riages in violation Of the law have been
and now are prohibited. In view of this
situation, which has fixed with certainty
a result that can be easily measured up
the family relations in the old cases of that
time have been generally left undisturbed

religious obligations. sought to the best of

ments pertaining to the trying position In
which we were placed. have felt secure

sentiment which was extended as an olive
branch In 1890 and subsequent years to
those old cases of plural family relation

by President MILFORD Woodruff did not
understand that 1 would be expected to
abandon and discard my wives. Knowing
the sacred covenants and obligations which
had assumed by reason of those mar
riages 1 have eonscientieusly tried to dis
charge the responsibilities attending them
without being offensive to any one. I have
never haunted my family relations before
