day evening by Mrs. Annie Batiste
of 1872 Race street, in honor of Nine.
Anna Patti Brown of Chicago, who,
by the way, is one of the leading vo-
calists Oh the race. The parlors were
tastefully decorated with abundance
of flowers, as was also the table
which groaned under a sumptuous
menu which was highly relished by
all present. AS an entertainer of su-
perb abnity, Mrs. Batiste was warmly
congratulated as such by her guests.
To say the least, it was indeed an

turned out at East Turner hall last
Thursday evening, Oct. 18th, to the
entertainment given for the benefit OF

played their parts well and deserve
much credit. The hit of the evening
was a solo sung by young Mr.. Dan

of appreciation for his good singing,
he was not only encored several
times, but coins of sizable denomin-
alton were rained on the stage by
members of the audience.

THE REMEDY FOR POVERTY
Intelligence, a Purpose In Life and a
Responsibility Are Strong
Factors

A speaker at the Fifth Avenue
Baptist Church Bible class, New
York, is quoted as saying at a recent
meeting of the class that "the rem
edy for poverty lies in education,
postal savings banks and building
and loan associations" in which re-
mark there is a great deal of truth.
There are three things that operate
against poverty, and they are intel
ligence, a purpose in life and a re-
sponsibility; and these three things
are furnished by the remedies sug-
gested by the speaker.
In all these suggestions it will be
noticed that the saving spirit is
most manifest. There is no progress
that does not involve some form of
self-denial; some plan that makes a
man feel stronger today than he was
yesterday. That is what the postal
bank and the building and loan as
sociation is supposed to do, and
very often does do.
A man or woman must have some
ambition to get along; something
that he does for himself and leaves
balance scme point ahead to gain.
That is the remedy for poverty. 1t
is no dependence, or charity or gifts.
but the planning to patronize the
postal or savings bank or the build
ing and loan.-Ohio State Journal.

The residents of Five Points en-
joyed quite treat last week through
the kindness of Engine Co. No. in
permitting Battling Thomas and
Black Prince to use their training
quarters. Battling Thomas fought
Roy Brown at the Ell Jebel Temple
Wednesday evening. Black Prince,
who trained with him, is a much-tout-
ed fighter, out of the famous Al Kau-
mans quarters, and judging from his
leads, blocks, shifts, agility, ETC., he
knows something and is destined to
rock many to sleep when he gets on.

The Silver Leaf Social club was
perfectly entertained at the cosy res
idence of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Settles.
Important business was first disposed
of. Following this came the introduc-
ton of innocent games, mucn to the
delight of the guests. AS a fitting
climax was the seating of the guests
around a large loaded table, where
their appetites were conciliated by
an extravagant variety of palatable
dishes The club will be entertained
by Mr.. White this week.

For some time past there has been
no little amount of trouble among the
clergy of Denver and elsewhere, both
of the black and white congregations,
and the gossip that is going the
rounds about some of our preachers
is not fit for publication. We do not
know the facts in any of the cases,
but from the general comment there
is something dead up the branch,
as Col VIM. Greenleaf often puts 1t
when he expresses himself regarding
such matters. Your sins will find
you out"

wrIooIlno Of Horse Hair In Water.

Any motion a horse hair may have
when put into water is caused by its
power to absorb water and to bend or
twist as the water causes the hair to
swell on one side more than on an
other. This will take place in the air.
If you hang a long hair by one end
and tie to the lower end light rod Of

inches long, you will find that II. Will

CoUGHED UP CoCKLE-BURR.
Boy Recovered Promptly from SUP
posed Case Of Consumption.

Pittsburg, Kan, Aug. 3.-Physicians
repeatedly have told Joe Mertz, son of
a prominent farmer living southwest
of Pittsburg, that he is a victim OF
tuberculosis and the best he could ex-
pect would be an early death. Joe is
IT years old.
When he was IA years old he swal-
lowed a cockle-burr. From that TINA
until last Sunday morning he was sick.
He was the victim of hacking, irrI-
tating cough and for the last year he
appeared to have a well developed
case of consumption.
He was on his wayu to church last
Sunday morning when he was attack
ed by an unusually hard coughing fit.
When this was over he had dislodged
the cockle-burr. From that moment
he began to improve and today he is
apparently as we'll as any 17-year-old
boy. 1t is the belief of his parents that
the cockle-burr was responsible for
his three wears, of sickness.
