An eye test that costs but five cents and is worth the price aside from the value of the test is a moving picture show. If you can sit through an average program without your eyes aching or feeling dry and tired and without feelinR an inclination to open and close them frequently, and if an hour later, or the next morning, your eyes feel perfectly smooth and easy, there is nothing much the matter with them. If, however, after such a program your visiion is dim, your eyes feel dry or irritated or burn or itch or ache or feel overworked, try this prescription: Optona 5 Grains (1 tablet). Water 2 Ounces. Dissolve the tablet in the 2 ounces of water and use as an eye wash from two to four times a day. This application relieves the tired feeling, seems to lessen the stress or strain and makes your eyes feel smooth and fine, it is a boon after an evening at the moving pictures or after a hard day's work where you have used the eyes incessantly. Irritation, inflammation and many minor eye troubles are greatly benefited and sometimes wholly cured by the use of this prescription. If you wear glasses, try it. You may, to your own surprise, find that you do not need them. Glasses bought at cheap stores without scientific adjustment to the eyes, or glasses worn too long without re-adjustment, are oftentimes not only absolutely unnecessary, but positively injurious. The use of this prescription may give you a favorable opportunity to judge whether or not you need glasses. It is a simple home remedy that has been used by hundreds of thousands, and among its users many regard it as an indispensable part of their daily toilet. A. G. Luken & Co. or any druggist can fill this prescription. Advrtlsemnt

ARMED HOSTS DEFER POPE'SJMITION Cardinals Gathering for Papal Election Postpone the Crowning of Successor. -BY LEASED WIRE. ROME, Aug. 27. The coronation of the newly elected pope will not take place until after the European war is over. This was decided upon today at a congregation of fifty cardinals in the Vatican. The resolution to postpone the papal coronation until after the conclusion of hostilities was presented by Cardinal Agliardi, who has been the leader in the movement to ask the warring governments to suspend warfare during the life of the conclave.- It was passed at once. The congregation also accepted the resignation of Prince Chihi as marshal of the conclave, and appointed Prince Campagnand as his successor. In order to prevent signals from being given or received the windows in that part of the Vatican which will be occupjed by cardinals during the election have been heavily screened. Supporters of Cardinal Dominic Ferrata expressed the belief today that his prospects for election to the papacy at the forthcoming conclave to succeed Pope Pius X have been greatly strengthened by the declination of Cardinal Diomede Falconio to be a candidate. Accurate measurement has shown that few raindrops exceed one-fifth of an inch in diameter. EXTRA SPECIAL Men's Union Suits All our $1.00, $1.50 and $2 Union Suits go in this rJQ sale at I tt

RAPID STRIDES SAYS LEADER Washington Tells of Progress in Education, Property Accumulation and Business Activity. To show that Industrial amalgamation is one of the methods of solving the race problem in the United States, was the aim of the stirring addresi given by Dr. Booker T. Washington at the Chautauqua last night. More than four thousand persons were present, packing every available foot of space in the big tent, and many hundreds were on the outside unable to get in at all. During the hour preceding the address the Killarney girls gave their farewell program. George W. B. Conrad was chairman of the evening. Wesley Howard played two violin solos. The young negro genius played superbly and was given an enthusiastic ovation by the audience. A number of prominent local negroes were on the platform, among them being the Revs. Sampson, Coins and Hockinsmith and Simpson Oxendine, Herbert Garrett, Iano Thomas and Dr. W. W. Anderson. Among the white men on the platform were Timothy Nicholson, Rev. L. H. Bunyan and Dr. Conrad Huber. "It is not a matter of unmitigated evil, I believe, that this nation has before it certain great problems which must be solved. Such tasks as these save the country from stagnation, and provincilism. Advises Segregation. "Some have advised segregation, and want the negro race penned up somewhere in a territory by itself. The only way that could be done would be to build a wall around it to keep the negroes in, and I suppose we would have to built five walls around it to keep the white people out. No, there is no way of solving the negro problem by eliminating the negro. He is here and here to stay. "I was born a slave, and don't even know the place or date of my birth. The great problem that confronted my mother after we were freed was, what about the future? She finally moved with us to West Virginia, where I went to work in the coal mines as a miner's helper. While there I overheard two miners describing Hampton institute. They said it was a great school, where a poor black boy could learn a trade. I said to myself, 'I'm going to that school.' "I didn't have any money, and I did not know where it was located, but after a while I packed up my earthly belongings in a small bundle and started walking. I walked by day and by night. Finally I reached Richmond, Va., without a cent, no place to sleep, hungry and a stranger. That night I found a board off in the sidewalk, crawled through It and slept under the board walk all night. The next morning I saw a ship unloading a cargo of pig iron, and secured a job helping in that work. For several days I stayed at it, sleeping each night in the hole under the board walk. In this way I I oovnil avi mi cr m nn mr -i-vw4-l-,-v -m it E3. V CUVUU 1 V7 -l J ,J VU11UUUC7 111 J journey, and by the time I arrived at Hampton institute I had fifty cents in my pocket with which to begin my education." Differs From Last. This was Dr. Washington's first visit to Richmond, Va. During a recent vis- : it the city council and the state legislature both adjourned in order to hear his address. j "When I arrived at the institute," ; he continued, "the head teacher looked me over and then finally told me to go into another room and sweep it up. 1 1 swept it three times and dusted it i four times. When she came in she couldn't find a speck of dust, although j she rubbed her handkerchief over f everything. 'You'll do,' she said. 'We'll start you in school.' That, my friends, was my college entrance examination. I believe it is the best that I have ever passed. "After completing my education I finally selected Tuskegee, Ala., as a strategic point for building a school.

When I first undertook the erection of the Tuskegee institute I bad a narrow and selfish ambition. I wanted to lift up the negro some how, even if I had to do it at the expense of the whites. Thank God that narrow selfishness has been outgrown, and my one ambition now is to serve all my ' fellows, whether they are black or white. Starts Tuskegee. "It was in 1881 that I went to Tuskegee. We started in a shack twelve by fourteen feet in size, with 'one teacher and thirty students. Today sixteen hundred men and women are enrolled, representing thirty-six Btates and seventeen foreign countries or colonies. In all departments we have 179 instructors and assistant instructors. Our trustees own 3,000 acres of land and ninety-seven buildings. They have in their possession $2,000,000 of securities and $1,500,000 of real estate, and thank God, there is on the whole thing not a dollar of mortgage or indebtedness. ..jffi:"All those who talk about the1 negro race must keep in mind that it is still a very young race. It is raw and inexperienced. That is one reason am so glad that I am a member of it because I have the privilege of guiding It in Its future developments r Out of the ninety-seven buildings used by the Tuskegee institute, ninety-three have been erected by the students themselves. They cultivate a thousand acres. Our aim is to ground the southern negroes In the fundamental Industries. .We have found that when the negro owns property, Is industrious and has a Christian character, he is respected by the white man ih the south and given a, square deal. Changes Commencement. "We try to educate our students by

teaching them about things rather than about books. Several years ago our commencement exercises were stilted and falsely dignified. I saw that was not appropriate for our institution; so I had it changed. It' is now a common thing at our commencement exercises to have' a young woman give an exhibition of preparing a dinner on the platform, just such a dinner as might be prepared in the homes of thousands of farmers who witness the ceremony. There are two advantages in a .commencement oration like that: One is that the student knows what be is talking about; the other is that the audience knows. "What has the negro given you in return for your Investment in him ? Well, he has accomplished this much any way. He has lived among you for fifty years, the only fellow with a dark skin you have ever let live among you that long. The second thing is that we have paid our own way. We have accumulated property. In Alabama negroes own a million and a quarter acres of land; in Mississippi a million and a half; in the entire south twenty millions. Is Commercial Factor. "The negro has become a great commercial factor iu this country. In the south we have 10,000 stores and sixtythree banks. We have made great progress in education. At the close of the civil war only three per cent of the negroes were able to read or write. Today sixty-nine per cent of them can do that. "We also have been settling this problem of race prejudice. You must always remember that it is only the disgraceful things that negroes do that get much publicity. Most of our progress is silent. "You white people often get impatient with us and think that the negro is not worth saving. I want you to remember that we have been in a our pace alongside the most aggressive and progressive civilization the world has ever known. When the American negro catches up with the I American white man nobody else will be ahead of us.

DUTY OF SCHOOLS TO TEACH PUPILS RESPECT FOR LAW Dr. Charles Ellis. Calls on Teachers to Train Students for Best Kind of Citizenship.- . "We are witnessing in this country a rapid decay of respect for law. This means disaster if it is not Btopped. No other institution can do so much in stopping it as the American school," said Dr. Charles Calvert Ellis at Teachers' Institute "yesterday. "The school must train for citizenship," he said. "But what is citizenship? Is it the right to vote? No, the women, and they are among our finest citizens, do not have that right. Is it holding office? Many of the best citizens never held office. Is it paying taxes? A rascal can pay taxes.' Citizenship is respect for and obedience to law. In America at this hour we need nothing more than a revival of respect for the law. "Do you know that In the United States murder has increased four fold during the past twenty years? During the past three years we have murdered more people than the British armies lost during the Boer war. Every year the city of Chicago is guilty of six times as many homicides as London and eight times as many as r aris. School Must Oppose. "Against these destructive tendencies, the school must set itself like flint. It is not enough that schools teach history and civics. It is necessary that the school give that actual discipline which will best equip for citizenship. "I sometimes feel that the movement away from corporal punishment in our schools has gone to the extreme. "Of course, corporal punishment used to be Carried to the opposite extreme but I feel that we are now getting too lax. Rebellion in school must be put down or it will finally mean rebellion in the republic. "Too long we have been teaching our boys to paddle their own canoes. It is time we were opening up to them the ideals of service and co-operation and of teaching them to get into the life-boat where every stroke of their own paddle will carry their fellows as well as themselves along the journey of life."

A London physician practicing in the poorer districts of that city says that 25 per cent, of the children coming under his observation wear charms and amulets under their clothing.
