ALL YOU NEED IS A
CASCARET TONIGHT
No Sick Headache Biliousncss Stom-
ach, Coated Tongue or Constipatcd
Bowels by Morning.

Turn the rascals out, the headache,
the biliousness, the indigestion, the
sick, sour stomach and foul gases
turn them out tonight and keep them
out with Cascarets.
Millions of men and women take n
Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by lazy
liver clogged bowels or an upset
stomach.
Don't put in another day of distress
Let Cascarets cleanse and regulate
your stomach; remove the sour. un-
digested and fermenting food and
that misery making gas; take the eX-
cess bile from your liver and carry
out of the system all the decomposed
waste matter and poison in the intes-
tines and bowels. Then you will feel
great.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep. A 10-cent box
from any drug store means a clear
head and cheerfulness for months
Children love to take Cascarets be-
cause they taste good-never grlpe or
sicken.

THE UNPARDONABLE SIN.
Christian Church Revival To Continue
Over Sunday

Announcement was made at the
Christian church last night that the
revival would continue over Sunday,
but might possibly close Sunday
night, Mt any rate not likely to con-
tinue beyond the middle of next week
as Mr.. Holmes announced that Miss
Lingenfelter had consented to give a
musical recital next Thursday night.
Those who have heard her sing. say
she is the best they have ever heard
and are enthusiastic over the prospect
of hearing her render some of the
master selections. She is scheduled to
give a recital in Seattle as soon as she
returns, and will make use of a num-
Der of the selections already made
for there. She is a great favorite
with Seattle people. She Will con-
tinue to sing twice at each service
during the meeting, but of course
makes use of hymns in such services
while in the recitals she renders an
almost wholly different class of mu-
sic.
Mr., Holmes spoke on Excuses
last night, and certainly removed any
'""' mustn't nave peen keeping MS
hearers from the better life. Tonight
he is to talk from a chart on "The
Great Gulf Fixed" and the address
is sure to be of an interesting charac-

places. During the very brief space
of time Our bishops remain among us
it is practically impossible for any
of the colored bretheren outside of
the members of the cabinet, to come
into contact or personal association
with them or for them to become
personally acquainted with but few of
US.
Hence the depressing effect upon
our ministry and membership.
The times a"e changed and We have
changed with them. The days of
Haven and Walden, of Wiley and New
man and Mallalieu are no more. Ham,
ilton, | believe, still stands as one of
the old guard. Doubtless, and [ be-
lieve, there are others equally as
catholic, and just as Christlike as
they.
If one Of these men go to Africa
and do there what each did here, and
should happen to die there he would
be cannonized; but down here he
would be apt to be ostracised, and his
death would not provoke great sor-
row.
Better Episcopal supe. vision ap-
pears to be given today to Korea
or India than to our work in the

South Carolina.

not be found, after nealy half CEN
tury of training and service, at least

appears to be imperative. Social and
radical conditions in the South must
be reckoned with and regarded. Until
we shall have a general conference

look for any material increase in our

Until We have some bishop in our

could come to him than to withdraw
from the church.
Africa has not yet been redeemed.
Her redemption must come mainly
through us. Without this great
church to uphold and sustain us we
shall be we'll nigh helpless in the un-
dertaking. Japan and Korea and
China and the Islands of the Sea are
sending forth the Macedonian cry.
In this great world conquest the
church needs her Negro membership
and We need the great church.
1t would rejoice my heart to see
union effected with the Methodist
Protestant church and the Methodist
Episcopal church, South. My first
Sunday school teachers were South
ern white women of refinement and
culture; my first day school teacher
Southern white woman Of the same
type. Our first pastors were South
ern white minister's At one of my ap-
pointments it was no unusual thing
for five years to have a Southern
white minister preach to my people,
apparently to our mutual delight. In
spite of slavery the Southern Negro
owes the Southern Christian white
people a lasting debt of gratitude. As
compensation for slavery they gave
him that precious boon the Christian
religion.
But would like to see union effect
ed with all our American Metho-
dists, white and colored, What appears
to be impracticable and impossible
today, will in Gods time, be found
to be possible and feasible. When
that day comes the conquest of tfhe
world will not be far off.
Then the grand old church in Amer
ica, uniting with our Canadian BROTH
ers and our Wesleyan brothers acress
sea, relieved of all appendage - Of
prafiXes and sui!ixes-will be max
ing ready for a second Pentecost.
Then will follow a worldwide Metho-
dism.
AS We look in the distance we can
see moving onward, the grand old
church about to witness second
Pentecost, And the heather world
is looking in wonder and it is asked,
"Who are these and whence come
tGey-from Africa and Australia,
from Europe and Asia, from North
America and South America, and the
Islands Of the Sea, comprising every
nation and kindred and tongue =
these seven groups constituting the
seven prismatic colors in the rain
bow of Gods promise, and marching
in solid phalanX, keeping step to the
heavenly music, and singing as they
onward march.
Like a mighty army
Moves the church of God;
Brothers we are treading
Where the saints have trod;
We are not divided,
All one body We,
One in hope and doctrine.
One in Charity.
Onward, Christian Soldiers!
Marching as to war.

Going on before"

adhereuts of the distinCtiveiy Negro
denominations. This was even more
intense and rancorous than that of
the Southern white people, and in
some localities the feeling exists even
now with more or less intensity.
Bishop Hurst once said to us just
before announcing the conference ap-
pointments, 81 shall not call you he
roes, but you are heroes"
Fourth. Tie very seldom visits of
our bishops-not to mention the fact
that not a single one of them for
score of fyears 10 live and move among
us. This has caused us much sorrow
and regret, and has seriously embar
rassed us, when undertaking to de
fend the polity of our church. The
poli,v is altight but the policy ap
pears to be wrong.
We are an integral part Of the
church but the scant attentions given
us and the unfortunate neglect in per
sonal supervision and visitation give
cause for just complaint on our part.
The startling fact is that We who
need Episcopal supervision the most
have it the least.
How often have l wished that the
general conference, instead of super-
annuating Bishops- WaldeD.-Xincent. !
Maliaiieu, could have devised plan
b. which those chief pastors might
have been assigned to the colored
conference, devoting to them their
time and talent! How eminently fit
ted each was for special lines OF work
anongus? With what oy they would
have been received, and what "e-
markable impetus would they have
given our work in the South.
Fifth. | assign this with reluctance
although it is partly implied in the
foregoing. A lack of adequate knowl-
edge or the part of our bishops of
the character and qualifications OF but
few of our colored pastors, or even,
a sufficient personal acquaintance with
them, and the consequent dominant
influence of but few men, and some
times of but one man in fixing some
of our conference appointments. l
believe this has caused some Of our
ablest and best ministers to quit our
denomination, while some others be-
came disheartened.
The sight of one of our bishops
or white general officers moving a.
mong us or visiting us in our homes,
or even preaching in our churches is
an unusual thing. The demand upon
their time elsewhere is too urgent
Besides. pressure is too strong and
prejudice too great. Conditions force
our pastors entertaining annual con-
ferences to have the bishops and white
general officers assigned to the homes
of white people or else provided for
at the hotels, and it is fact that
except as a servant a coloIed person

JOHNSON SAILS FOR EUROPE

Much Amusement to Fellow Pas

New York, June Jack Johnson,

liner, Kronprinz Wilhelm, to the great
amusement of his fellow passengers.
Everyone seemed to think Johnson's
presence aboard a great Joke and they
laughed the more heartily when they
heard that he and his wife would eat
alone at separate table.
Johnson and his wife went aboard
the Kronprinz Wilhelm on Monday
night, nccupXing the chief engineers
cabin, next to the stateroom that had
been assigned to DR.. Theodore c.
Janeway and his mother, Mrs. Edward
G. Janeway.
When the fighter and his wife
made their appearance on deck there
was rush of women passengers, and
In a second the fighter was the center
of big ring of curious travellers.
His colored friends were all there to
say good-by, to shake Jacks hand and
to gaze at Mrs. Johnson's left hand,
on which were nine large diamond
rings, and the steamer was delayed
nearly fifteen minutes through the
mass of dark humanity that jammed
the gangplank.
Johnson declared that he was ready
to fight any man provided purse of
100000 was put up.

THE MAINE IS
BEING UNCOVERED
First Stage Of the Work in Havana
Harbor Has Been Completed,
WRECKED VESSEL NOW VISIBLE
Water Has Been Lowered Five Feet
and Pumping will be Suspended
Until the Dam is Careful
ty Examined.

Havana, June 7.-Special: The
first stage of the actual work of un
covering the wreck of the battleship
Maine was completed last evening,
when pumping operations ceased after
the water level within the cofferdam
had been lowered five feet.
This leaves the portion of the
wreck visible above the water practi.
Cally the same as on the night of the
disaster before the hull had time to
become imhedded in the mud at the
bottom of the harbor. There is now
visible a long stretch of the starbOare
side of the quarterback, which is
slightly raised owing to list to port
of the after two-thirds of the ship.
The sighting hood and a portion of
the roof of the ten inch after turret
on the port side are above the water.
All the newly exposed portions are
covered with barnacles and a rank
marine vegetable growth, the remov-
al of which is necessary for sanitary
reasons before decomposition sets in
The pumping is to be suspended I'M
til June Is. when the water level will
be reduced another five feet. The
work will then be suspended again so
that a minute examination may be
made of all sections of the cofferdam,
after which the pumping will be con-
tinued at intervals, dependent upon
the results OF the examination of the
dam, until the bottom is reached,
probably three or four weeks hence.
