THE TIGERS ALWAYS
PLAY To MUSIC

In Waxahachie there lives a gent
named Pat Sims, who awaits infor-
nation on just one subject. He
wishes To know where there is a
braas band OF more than ~ pieces,
which Is the size OF the Wazahaehle
Lone Star band. If there is SO size
able an organization, he plans TO
buy a few more French horns and
snare drums and uniforms, and then
to go out and import persons to play
the instruments and to wear the toys.
For it is the proud boast OF Mr..
Sims. backed by all Ellis county.
that the musical organization OF
which be is the patron saint is the
biggest thing Of It's Kind in the
world. II il isn't. he will elake 1t so.
with expense no item OF corsidera-
ton.
The band, whose concert is fea-
|ture OF each game that the Tigers
stage on the nome lot meaning
Jungle park, Waxahachie--is really
q high-clasg musical organization.
II is said that there IL only one in
strument that any brass band does
or can use that it does not possess.
And that int missed when the boys
get started. The organization Is to
be sent to Washington this summer
to reunion OF some sort, and will
make it's trip home by way OF De-
troit, If the Tigers are sufficiently
In the running TO provide the proper
enthusiasm.
Whenever the band needs any
thing, and lacks funds, Mr.. Sims,
who Is millionaire. crosses in with
the change. He will be among those
present in Detroit II the musickers

New York June 22--Billy Sundays
ten weeks revival campaign just clos
ed here has broken every past record
made by him according to final figures
compiled by the campaign committee.
The free will offering amounted to
$4,000. The evangelist divided 1t
equally between the Red Gross and the
Y. NJ. c. A.
The total number Of trail hitters was
9S,264, or practically $4,000 more than
were registered at Boston and $1,000
more than Billy welcomed at Phila-
delphia This is an average Of nearly
/ 400 converts a day for the entire re-
vival not counting Mondays when
Billy held no meetings at the taber-
nacle
All of Billy's one day records also
went into the discard when on the
final Sunday 1888 persons swarmed
up the glory trail. Scenes at the last
day Of the campaign were notable.
Forty thousand people fought and
struggled to crowd into the gospel
shed at the morning and afternoon SER
vices, while at night 10000 more cheer

70 PRESERVE Bv FERMENTATION

Method Widely Used Abroad.

The fermentation method widely
used abroad in preserving string beans,
beets. cabbage, cucumbers and other
succulent garden crops, is described IN
a notice Just issued by the department.
Of agriculture.
Sauerkraut and pickles put up in TINS
way are fairly wei, known in TINS
country but comparatively few persons
have thought of trying it as house.
hold measure for preserving these ana
other vegetables. Those who like acid
foods and who have too few canning
containers to hold their surplus pro-
ducts may find this method useful. The
following description of this metnoo
of fermenting vegetables Is prepared oy
one Of the bacteriologists In the bureau
Of chemistry who has been expert
menting with this process.
The vegetables are not cooked out
are put down in a salt brine In any
non-metal water-tight container ana
are sealed up with paraffin and are
otherwise made air-tiSht. Under TINS
treatment Tactic acid will develop and
this acid, the value Of which as food
has been recognized, acts as pre-
sentative. Whether Americans will de-
velop a taste for such fermented FOODS
highly priced in Europe Is open TO
question, but the investigator believes
that many will find the process well
worth trying.

POLITICALLY SPEAKING

Now, this political situation is
levelling itself and adjusting itself,
it looks as though Sangamon Co.
will again regain her once envia-
BILE position. For the past decade
there has been a retrogres5ion and
the times which were have not
been since; race hatred, discrimin.
alton, and injustice have played
their respective parts. 1t seems
that a little leaven leaveneth the
whole and the people ran "mad",
but they are returning to their
senses; they have found out that
we are each, as a race or group,
our brothers. keepers.
There once existed a very bitter
political division, consisting of the
Hay Sullivan factions, wherein
one faction tried to crush the 9th
err. The colored people were allied
with both factions there were
good men in both factions. Now it
seems that, if there can be said to
be survival of either faction it
is the Sullivan faction. Sullivan,
so far as the eolored people know,
has always striven to be fair, he
has always been instrumental in
aiding and recognizing the Negroes
in way that gave them inspira-
ton. courage and hope; the eolored
people do not claim that any fact
ion has done entirely what it
should, but they give praise and
lend their assistance To that man
or faction that does best.
In one and one half years we
will be electing our County, State,
Congressional and Senatorial otfic-
ials as well as our City Commiss-
toner's. IL stands To reason that we
should be alert and see that our
forces are lined up with that fact-
ion or set of men whom we believe
to be onr best friends.

MEHARRY MEDICAL
COLLEGE.
to respect

The Negroes in general, and the
NJ. E. church in particular have
need to be proud of Meharry Med
ical College, of Nashville Tenn.
This well known Institution has
done a pioneer work in its line for
the CoIored race of the south and
the fruit of labors can be seen liv-
ing and moving among us daily, in
all parts of the land. The College
is Al years old has had but
one dean, DR.. Hubbard, who is
still at the helm and has lived to
see the school rise to its present
vantage position-he must surely
be proud of Meharry. This year,
in the Medical, pharmaceutical
and Dental Departments, there
were150 graduates. This school has
recently received some very sub
stantial endowments and will be
made still better equipped to do
the work for which it was founded.
