THE ALLIANCE NOTES.

The July meeting of the Peoples
Sunday Alliance will be held at 2630
Welton street July at p. m. sharp.
In accordance with the vote of the or
ganization there will be only one regu-
lar meeting held in this month, but
that vii be a BIG one. Rev. John f..
Ford, DID. founder of the organiza-
ton is expected to be in the city soon
and if in the city will address us. Rev.
Ford is too well known to add any
comment to a simple announcement
of his presence. But fearing a possi-
bility of his not arriving in time the
Board OF Directors have also arranged
the following excellent program:
Report of Current Literature Com
mittee.
Piano Selection-Mr J. Fl. Maddox.
Chorus-Zion Baptist Junior Choir
Mr.. Chas. A. Clark, choirmaster.
Address-Dr. John Grass.
Chorus-The Junior Choir (the
same as aboye).
Discussion and Announcements.
The Board of Directors are working
persistently to persue the study of
the Negro in history, inspired by the
lecture of DR.. Dubois and hope soon
to announce definite plans.

KILL MORE THAN WILD BEASTS

The number of people killed yearly
by wild beasts don't approach the vast
number killed by disease germs. No
life is safe from their attacks They're
in air. water, dust, even food. But
grand protection is afforded by Elec-
trio Bitters, which destroy and expel
these deadly disease germs from the
system That's why chills, fever and
ague, all malarial and many blood dis
eases yield promptly to this wonder
full blood purifier Try them, and en-
joy the glorious health and new
strength they'll give you. Money
back, if not satisfied. Only soc at

The Rio Grande has maintained for
years a most complete service Of
through sleepers between Chicago, St.
Louis, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
This will be greatly augmented by the
establishment of the new sleeping car
lines in connection with the Western
Pacific.
The opening of the Western Pacific
(Pacific coast extension of the Den
yer and Rio Grande) has in no way
changed the relations of the Rio
Grande with the Southern Pacific and
the San Pedro lines. Through cars
over the Denver and Rio Grande and
the Hartman lines will continue to be
operated as heretofore, the new serv-
ice via the Western Pacific merely
supplementing that now in effect
through the Ogden gateway.

B. F. LETTER.,
Cure for Cancer Battles.

London, July 20. "A meeting of the
Imperial Cancer Research Fund dis
closed the fact that small progress as
yet has been made in the experiment
al laboratoryin combating the scourge.
Sir William Church, president of the
Royal Society of Medicine, stated that
methods for preventing the success
full impladation of cancer had been
tested on mice affected by spontane-
GUS cancer and had given mo evil
dence of power, either to hinder the
growth and the dissemination of the
disease, or to prevent recurrence of
spontaneous cancer after the removal
OF the primary tumor.'
Some methods by which other in
vestigators claimed to obtain immun-
ity against propogated cancer with
vaccines and serums had been tried
in the laboratory, but the results had
not yet been successful. The expert
ments of Doctor Bashford afforded
evidence that the cancer cell is mod
ification of the normal cell.

BarthOldt's Trip Blocked.

Washington, D. c., July 31.-Rep.
resentative Richard Bartholdt of Mis-.
souri,, is very angry Congressman.
The House today refused Doctor Bar
tholdt leave of absence to 90 to Ger
many as special commissioner of the
President to Kaiser Wilhelm.
Doctor Bartholdt vehemently ex-
claimed he had an engagement for
September 2 in Berlin to present the
Kaiser with a replica of the statue of
Baron Won Steuben, recently erected
in this city, in memory of the German
hero of the War of independence.
Representative Underwood, Demo-
cratic floor leader, blocked Mr.. Bar
tholdt's trip abroad as a means of
making an effective reply to like
action, which was taken upon the in
sistence of James R. Mann, Republic
can House leader, at the expense of
Representative Small of North Caro-
lima, who applied for leave of absence,
citing important public business" as
the reason. Mr.. Mann argued there
could be no pnblic business more i'm
portant than that Of attending to con-
gressional duties.

Cash Aids Climbers.

London, July 24.-Once more the
old subject of Americans paying to
get into English society is revived,
and the main thing in connection with
this revival is the frank admission
that the members of England's cold
nobility" accept the cash.
IN. A. P, advertising to this al
ways interesting, if somewhat thread
bare, subject declared that recently
"an American lady actually wrote to
a Countess offering her the sum of
100000 pounds if she would include
her in her house party she was gath
ering together to meet royal per-
sonage at her place in the country.
"When she wrote the letter con-
tanning the offer she had no idea that
the person she was addressing was
very short of cash, but it so happen
ed that such was the case ease, and in the
end the American lady achieved her
desire.
Fortunately she was desirable
person socially or the consequences
might have been serious for her host
ess. AS it happened, the royal per-
was always partial to
the American colony in London
took her up, and the purchased invi-
tation in Blank Castle resulted in the
daring American eventually entertain
ing royalty at her own house in Lon
don."

Canada Votes on Reciprocity
September 81.

Ottawa, Ontario, July 31.-Parlia'
ment was dissolved recently. Nom.
nations are fixed for September ID
and elections for September 81.
The dissolution of the Canadian
Parliament carries the question OF
reciprocity between the United States
and Canada before the Canadian cleo
torate, where the reciprocity issue
from this time until the election on
September 81 will be the controlling
issue.
The announcement of dissolution
was the fulfillment of Premier Lau-
rier's ultimatum, delivered to the op-
position forces last Monday, that con-
tinued resistance to a vote would be
met by an appeal to the country.
The present Liberal Government
has large majority in the Dominion
Parliament, but the absence of clo-
ture rule has made it impossible to Sc
cure the vote by which this majority
could adopt the reciprocity measure.
In the event of the success of the
Liberal party at the polls in Septem-
Der, the new Parliament will at once
pass the reciprocity measure; whereas
a defeat of the Liberals will mean the
passing of Premier Laurier and the
permanent shelving of reciprocity be-
tween the United States and Canada.
The present House of Commons
consists of 1873 Liberals, IS Conserva-
tives and three Independents.

Dynamite Threat No Worry to
Speaker.

Washington, D. c., July 30.-Con-
tinued vigil last night by the police
of Washington failed to effect the
arrest of any suspicious characters
lettering about the capitol and the
other public buildings in that neigh
borhood and so bring to light a clew
to mysterious threatening letter re-
ceived by Speaker Champ Clark
Tuesday.
The letter, written in scrawling
hand, stated that unless an investiga-
ton of the Washington Navy Yard
were started Thursday twelve pounds
of dynamite would be used to blow
up public building near enough to
the capitol to make Congress aware
of the explosion. The writer said he
was a discharged employee of the
Navy Yard and signed the letter Gone
who has been abused"
1t was said to-day that a close watch
will be kept about all the public build
ings. The fact that no particular
building was designated for destruc-
ton makes the situation a trying one.
Speaker Clark does not seem worried.
If a man makes up his mind to
assassinate me-" he said, "all the
Secret-Service men in the country
cannot prevent him.
Notwithstanding the Speakers at
titude, the watch will not be relaxed.
