An Envoy From King Menelik Is in
This Country.
Rev. C. F. Choolzzl, B. s., M. A.,
graduate of Kings College, Oxford,
Trinity College, University of Berlin,
special ecclesiastical envoy of King
Menelik of Abyssinia, and descend
ant of line of ecclesiastical priests
of Abyssinia, $500 years old, is
spending few days in Philadelphia.
He is telling the blacks of that city
among other things, that Eve was a
negro, that Moses was a negro, that
Solomon was a negro, and that Ho-
mer was a negro.
His present business in this coun-
try is to tell the blacks to go back
to Africa, where he says they belong.
He bases his assertion that Moses
was a negro on a Biblical story to
the effect that God told Moses to put
his baud in his bosom, and that when
Moses drew his hand out 1t was
white; therefore he must have been
black.
He says that Solomons mother
was a Cushite, and that the Abyssin-
ians are the only Cushites in the
world.

DOCTORS MISTAKES

their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid

and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their easy-going or over
busy DOCTOR separate diseases, for which
he, assuming them to be such, prescribes
his pills and potions. In reality, they are
all only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant Of the
cause Of suffering, Keeps up his treatment
