political. 1t will provide place where
our young men can have the use of
gymnasium, can learn trades, can pur-
sue studies, can attend lectures, and
will have a reading room supplied with
papers, magazines, and books.
Our houses of worship belong to diff
ferent denominations our lodge halls
are owned by the secret orders. The
Y. NJ. c. A. building will be the prop
erty of the Colored people generally,
and when a Colored person enters it
he will not feel that he is going into
place where there will be a chilly re-
ceDtion or hint that Colored people
are not wanted there.
Now is the time when every one of
u.s. young and old, should shake off our
selfishness, and with the spirit of the
Immortal Lincoln, give what we can to-
wards the building of this home for
the Y. M. C. A. The older men and
women will soon be gone from the
stage of action and they should grasp
this opportunity to help il work that
will remind the future generations that
the men and women of today were not
all "joined to the god of selfishness
and narrowness." We are the benefi
ciaries of the generations that lived
before our time, and let us make sacri-
fices that we may contribute to the
welfare and advancement of the gener-
ations that follow us. So while others
here and elsewhere are celebrating
Lincoln's birthday in martial and civic
parades, at sumptious banquets, by elo-
quent speeches, and with other public
demonstrations, let us, with the same
spirit and with deeper purpose, aid
the best we can the building the young
men are working for
Think what it will mean hereafter,
if it could be said that we out of our
own savings had erected a splendid
building for the Colored Y. NJ. C. A.
The young men invite you to Shor-
ter's Church. February 14th, at 3 p. m.
There will be addresses on Abraham
Lincoln and Frederick Douglas.

cRAzgD BY RELIGIOUS MANIA.
Entire Family in Small Swiss Village
Becomes Insane.

A strange case of a family suffer
Ing from religious mania is reported
from the Swiss village of Oftringen-
There are eight grown children in the
family. and recently they were con-
verted by an itinerant preacher
Thereupon the whole family began to
neglect their farm and domestic du1
ties, and to spend the day and night
in prayer. The cattle were neglected,
and would have been starved had
they not been fed by the neighbors.
One girl named Bertha declared that
she was the bride of Christ, and al
ways went about clad in a garment OF
white. Strange rites, too, were prac-
ticed. Once at midnight the whole
family, dressed in white clothes, as
sembled around a wood pile altar in
field and burned a white calf, mean
while dancing around the burning pile.
This was called "immolation." Then
Bertha expressed a wish to be i'm
molated, and it appears that an at
tempt was made to cruelty her. The
police, however, got to know of this
and arrived in time to prevent fur
ther mischief. Bertha was found i'll
in bed with nail wounds in her bands
She and two sisters and a brother
were promptly removed to the lunatic
asylum at Koenigsfelden.

Charm of the Apron.

Nowadays, when woman wishes to
subdue man or win him to her whims.
she puts on her finest frock and wooes
him. Foolish girl so to trouble her
self! She could do it twice as easily
and many times as cheaply if she were
to top off an old gown with any pat
tern of apron. Every kind is an arrow
in her quiver. At least the Cleveland
Leader says so. When she wears one
of the kitchen brand that runs from
collar to hem of skirt, bares her white
arms and mixes up a batch of flap
jacks, she fascinates man with her
domesticity. When she dons the par
lor or gold thimble pattern, resplend-
ent with the lace, coquettish of pock
ct, and so trim and provocative about
the waist that a man has to grind his
teeth and grip hard at the arms of his
chair, he is perfectly willing to abase
his head and let her put her Cuban
heels on his neck.

CAN YOU TAKE YOUR MEDlcINE7
Determine to Succeed, and Eventually
You Will "Get There"

A man should start out in life with
a firm understanding with himself
that he is going to succeed; that he
has undertaken to do a certain thing,
and, no matter how long it takes, or
how difficult the process, he is going
to do it.
He should resolve at the very outset
that if he fails in anything he will
make the best possible use of his fail
ure, get the best possible lesson from
it; that he will make of it a stepping
stone instead of stumbling block.
He should resolve that every setback
shall ultimately prove an advance.
There is everything in starting out
with an understanding with yourself
that there is nothing else for you but
the goal that you are going to get
there sooner or later no matter what
stands in your way.
If you are only half committed to
your proposition, however, if you are
so loosely attached to your vocation
that the least opposition win shake
you from it, you will never get any
where.-Orison SWEET Marden, in. Sue

OUR Y. M. C.. A.

In all parts of the country prepafa-
tions are being made to celebrate the
centenary of the birth of Abraham Lin
coin. In Denver there will be gather
ings and addresses Feb. 18th at diff
ferent places, under the auspices of var
ious organizations and societies.
Are the Colored people in Denver
planning any thing more than the usual
public celebration? They are.
Lincoln was such a great character
own to the exclusion of all others. He
belongs to the class of "Immortals.
Every race and every condition of man
kind can do him honor without feeling
prerogatives of any other race or peo-
pie. Conceding the argument that the
Emancipation Proclamation was war
measure it will have to be admitted
that the agitation of the freeing of
the slaves together with the election of
Lincoln brought about the secession OF
the slave-holding states and then fol-
lowed the great Civil War.
At no time in the history of Denver
has there been a movement started
that has united the Colored people bet
ter and with more determination than
is now seen and demonstrated in the
worthy effort to establish a Colored
Young Mems Christian Association in
rrt.. ~
is endorsed and encouraged by all Of
our churches. 1t is for the betterment
of every Colored man and boy in our
city. 1t will be a helpful and uplifting
agency for our fraternal organizations,
social circles, and religious institutions.
It will not in it's work usurp or supplant
any of the means now in operation for
the advancement of our people. 1t will
always be undenominational and non

Women Who Work Hard.

More than half of the several hun
dred people taking the course at
Lowell institute under Harvard pro
fessors, says Boston paper, are wom-
en-, and these courses require an at
tendance three times a week. And
wherever one goes the same thing is
true, only as a general thing the pro
portion of women in such classes
would be greater than one-half. This
does not look as though women were
wasting all their energies in the de
bauch of whist" Many women play
whist and bridge, but it is generally
those who want mental occupation
that entails little solid brain work
The majority of bridge players prefer
men partners, so that one sex spends
as much time as the other over cards

INDIAN AGENTS ARRESTED.
TAKEN WHILE TRYING TO GET
EVIDENCE AGAINST SALOON.
Decoy Brave is Recognized and At.
... tackled by Crowd, When a
Fight Follows.

Marshalltown, Sept. 2S.-E. Z. Van
Vert, special deputy of the interior
department; rev. R. G. Smith, govern
ment mission agent at the Tama In.
dian reservation; w. A. Talbert, a
commission Indian farmer and w. II
Holt, of Sioux City, an Indian and a
special commissioned federal officer
we're arrested while attempting to
procure evidence against the Wenger
saloon for selling liquor to an Indian.
Following the arrest the four were
placed in Jail, where they were kept
until morning, when they were re-
leased on bonds for $500 to appear for
a preliminary examination in the
mayors court on Oct. 8, at 10 O'Clock.
Van Vert and Smith were sent to
Jail on charges of carrying concealed
weapons and threatening to shoot.
Holt, the Indian, was charged with
disorderly conduct and Talbert with
vagrancy. Later additional charges
o. conspiracy and conspiracy to pros
eCute were filed against all four.
While the three stood across the
street and watched the saloon, Holt,
the Indian, was sent in to buy liquor,
When he asked for it he was refused
and ordered out of the place. He was
slow about going and was hurried by
the saloon employees and the crowd
that was in the place. The men
watching claim that, fearing Holt
would be seized and held for arrest,
they went across the street, and Van
Vert, showing his star as an evidence
OF his federal authority, ordered the
crowd to get back and drew two guns
at the same time. 1t is claimed that
he threatened to shoot. 1t is also
claimed that Smith drew his gun, and
threatened to shoot a man named
Jones, who lives close to the saloon,
when he interfered.
The quartet was brought to the pc
lice station searched land taken to Jail.
Van Vert, before leaving town this
afternoon, denied as untruthful, the
charge that he threatened to shoot
also that Smith carried a gun. Van
Vert says that after the Indian had
been seized and held by the saloon
keeper and his bartender, that he,
Van Vert, crossed the street and.
showing his star, took him by the arm
and led him off. The crowd collected
around the two in the middle of the
street, and Van Vert declares he was
struck twice and kicked. He then
pulled his two guns and ordered the
crowd to stand back, but made nc
mention of intending to shoot.
Van Vert says Smith did not have
a gun at all, and none was found on
him when he was searched. Accord
ing to Van Vert he pulled a bottle
from his pocket and handled it as
though it was a revolver.
Van Vert says that his federal com.
mission gives him the same right tC
carry arms and to make arrests as a
United States marshal, and that he
has the same identical power.

Iowa Crop Bulletin.
Condition In State AS Cleaned BY
Weather Bureau Correspondents.

Des Moines, Sept. 2S.-The past
week was favorable for farm work
and ripening the belated corn. The
rainfall was fairly well distributed,
but was generally light and considera-
bly, below the normal over the larger
part of the state, but there has been
sufficient moisture to make good pas
ture and for blowing and seeding fall
grains. More rain Will, however, soon
be needed to keep the soil moist
enough for blowing. The tempera-
ture was considerably below the nor
NAL, and light frost occurred in low
places in all parts of the state on the
mornings of the 23d and oath, but no
damage was done. Most of the days
we're clear and warm; the average
maximum temperature for the week
being about 70 degrees. Over IS per
cent of the corn is beyond danger OF
injury by frost, and over 80 per cent
o. it will be safe with another week
of warm weather. Reports indicate
that the general rains during the fore
part of September and the subsequent
warm weather have been beneficial to
the late corn, which has improved
one or two points during the month.
In many parts of the state more corn
Is being cut than usual. Excellent
progress is being made in blowing,
fall seeding and harvesting the minor
crops More plowing and seeding
have been done than was thought
possible during the August drouth. The
potato crop as a whole will be much
below the average, but apples and
grapes are better than early reports
indicated. On the whole the season
has been a profitable one for the
state at large, in spite of the eXces-
sive rains during the planting season
and the drouth in August. The small
grain crops were secured in excellent
condition, and, while the yields are
not large, the quality of the grain is
generally very good. the hay crop
was above the average and of the very
best quality. The corn will be nearly
up to the state average, although it
IL very poor over most of the south
ern counties.
(Note.-ThiS will be the last issue
of the Bulletin for this season.
