The tremendous water power Of the
world which will some day take the
place of fuel, is shown in recently
compiled statistics from various coun-
tries. The authorities preparing these
statistics believe that with the ex-
haustion of the worlds coal supply
this water power would be sufficient
to continue the lighting and heating
of the world by means of electricity.
Some Of the statistics follow:
France has an estimated horsepow.
er of 100000, Of which 1000 is now
in use. Italy with the same total
horsepower has about 10000 utilized.
The United States has an estimated
horsepower of 100000, while Japan
has 100000 and Russia's resources
are believed to be about 1900, 900.
Norway has 100000 horsepower and
Sweden about 100000. In India 5O.-
600 horsepower is already being used,
In Great Britain 10000 and in Spain
$4,000.

Grand Opening

On November rs there will be a
grand opening ball of the new dance
class, dancing the new dances and
whatever you want to dance. Try and
attend the classes before that time,
so that you will be a qualified attend
ant Of that night. There will be x
hibitions o fthe latest fancy dancing
of that night, introduced by Freder-
lex L. Conley, the proprietor of the
grand opening. Come out and see
demonstrations of the fancy dances.
Special Notice to the Readers Of the
Kansas City Sun Who Are Inter-
ested in Dancing.
We teach by careful demonstrations
explaining every step and motion Of
the dance and you can accomplish
more in half the time than any other
school of dancing in the city. Why
can we do so? Because we teach in
detail every part of the dance so that
you may not only dance correctly, but
know how to do them. Because we
teach the head to know and direct the
feet, and do not pull or haul you
around. Because by our method it
is impossible to conflict dances as we
teach the motion as well as the steps.
Come out and hesitate.

THE PROPER AMOUNT OF LIFE
INSURANCE you SHOULD
LAVE

Nearly every colored man in Ameri-
ca carries a weekly policy. Fully two
thirds of the men over 81 are mem
bers of some secret order whose death
benefits are from IS OTTO $500. There
are a very few hundred colored men
who have over $4,000 life insurance
in legal reserve life insurance COM
panies.
In fact, n insurance publication
said: 1.-THE amount of life insurance
carried by Negroes is so negligible
that it is left out of all consideration
in this book"
This, too, despote the fact that the
total amount of insurance carried in
America amounts to billions of dol
lars, and every yea the life insur-
ance companies of America pay to the
heirs of deceased Americans millions
of dollars in good current United
States money.
Even the average white man who
dies leaves his family in better o
dition. Whatever else he has neg
lected he has been thoughtful of his
life insurance. On the other hand,
many well-todo colored men die and
leave their families poorer than when
they lived. The average white mans
life insurance is $500. The average
colord mans is $3.50. The white mar
begins to buy a home for $4,000; he
protects that obligation by taking out
the amount of life so that If he dies
before he finishes payment his fam
lily will not lose the place, nor will
they be forced to sacrifice everything
to complete payment on that home.
The usual colored man beings to buy
a home and Immediately declares he
is unable to carry any life insurance.
Then when the interest has
lated on his notes and it is really a
burden for him to pay these notes with
all his efforts while he lives, he dies

spring sermon. Those present were
made to say did not our hearts burn
within as he talked with us. We are
giving God the glory and thank the
bishop for sending us such a distin-

have been but the collections were
good. We were also blessed with
the presence of Mrs. Victoria Clay
Haley of st. Louis, Mo, Tuesday, No
vember 9, who gave a stirring lecture
on THE Call of the Hour" and held

Any Number of shakespeares.

The Leicester bookseller who wants
a mere $50 for "a newly-discovered
portrait of Shakespeare" looms large
in the English news of the moment.
The evidence of identity, and the pic

things may be known and reasonably

Shakespeare raj of the most FREE

Sixteenth century. There were Shake
speares, as Sir Sidney Lee has point
ed out, in 40 less than two dozen
Wa~rwickshire towns and villages; and
as a Richard Shakespeare is mentioned
in connection with the picture, it may
be remarked that three men of that
name have been identified iii the
course of recent researches, all of

Excellent Opportunity
For Ambitious Men.

After giving five years of hard study
and hard work amonk my people in
the insurance capicity, one year of
thine time has been given to the peo-
pie of Kansas City, and 1 am very
pleased to say that l have been into
over 1000 homes in this city who
state they would much prefer hav-
ing young men of their own race call
ing to their homes collecting their in
| uranc than white agents collecting
their insurance, and only wished that
some old line responsible company
writing weekly insurance would en-
ploy colored men as agents. After
learning that Jul people are so very
anxious to have colored collectors, l
have taken up this subject with the
home office, and they have willingly
consented to give colored agents an
opportunity, providing 1 can find am
bilious men who are willing to work
and learn the business. Thihs is the
problem that confronts me o is
finding the men who are willing to
work. We will pay you well for your
services. We are also writing month
ly insurance. Experience is not nee
essary, as / am willing to teach you
the business. If you are not in posi-
tion to take advantage of this oppor-
tunity, 1 will appreciate it if you will
advise a friend whom you think has
the ambition to make good in the in
surance business. Call at my office
and let's talk it over together. Call
any day before noon or by appoint
ment.

IMMIGRATION IN THE SOUTH.

After the European war is over
there will be new tide of immigration
from Germany and Austria-Hungary
AS the statistics of the United States
bureau of immigration show the influx
of foreigners to this country in recent
years has been mainly from Italy and
Russia. During the past forty-dve or
fifty years few immigrants have come
from Teutonic or Scandinavian coun
tries.
Swedes and Germans make model
American citizens and model farmers.
They helped to settle and develop the
northwest and in the past fifteen or
twenty years inducements have been
held out to the tillers of the soil in
Sweden and in the German fatherland
to come and join the ranks of those
who settled in the United States a
generation before. But with prosper
ity prevailing in Germany, emigration
from the Kaiser's empire stopped and
stopped short.
But the war has changed conditions.
After it is ended thousands and tens
of thousands of Austrians and Ger
mans will be so impoverished and so
tired of militarism that they will be
found in the swelling tide of immi-
grants landing on our shores. They
will be welcome. Some of these very
desirable immigrants will find their
way to the South, but unless the agri-
cultural bureaus of the railroads ira
versing this section make especial eff
forts to bring her good share of this
class Of foreigners a large majorl y
will settle in the west.
Several through lines operating in
the south have done great work in
settling homeseekers along their
routes, but most of the new settlers
have come from the north.
If Southern immigration agents are
in Europe and alert when the war
ends every Southern state will find its
population increasing appreciably By
the coming of sturdy foreign stock.
There will be room for all-roOm fer
homeseekers from the northern states
and room for those fresh from the old
world

There Is more Catarrh In this Sec

eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For :. great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and IRE
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

I'm the summer of 1888 had a very

physicians worked over me from four
a. m. to 6 p. m. without giving me any
relief and then to1o me they didnot
expect me to live; that I had best
telegraph for my family. Instead Of
doing SO, gave the hotel porter fifty
cents and told him to buy me bottle
of ChaIAberlain's Collie, Cholera and

stitute. took a double dose according
