The cake tralk at the Anditorinm last
sight attracted a cosmopolitan crowd that
filled the place com
pletely. Hid away in
the galleries were little
. parties tf high society
ladies, while crowding
about on the lower floor
were men of high and
low degree and women
of uncertain character.
A brass band hidden
somewhere in the crowd
supplied great volumes
of loud musio and the
colored walkers, with heads erect and
their breasts swellinc out with hope
and pride, marched about, to the admira
tion and the delight .of the enthusiastic
spectators.
Edward Ross and Lucy Roberts were
awarded first prire. John Jennings was
awarded a gold cane and his partner, Jlollie
Hilton, was given a toilet sst Clarence
Bell and Laura Jones were awarded the
third prize, $5 each.
Eight couples took part in the contest
James Wright and Ida Miller, a saddle
colored belle and beaux, led the march.
Full Dress and Diamonds.
The men were in full dress. Diamonds
' sparkled in their expansive and immacu
late shirt fronts. The colored belles were
CALLED Ut THZ POTJCZ
To Settle a Stormy Difference Over a Ieap
Tear Party.
The Saint Paul's A. M. E. congregation,
of the Southside, had a lively meeting last
night, and the police Were finally called in
to qnell the impending riot. The congrega
tion had assembled to arrange for a leap
year party. It was suggested to
rent a hall in which to hold
the party. Mrs. Fenn opposed holding the
party in a public halL She Said under such
circumstances the brothers add sisters
would dance and she wis opposed to
dancing. Mrs. Leflridge, who was advocat
ing a public hall for the party, indignantly
claimed that she was a true Christian and
did not dance.
"If the shoe fits put it on," Mrs. Penn
shouted.
"The shoe don't fit Me, for I get religion
everr winter," Mrs. Leflridge replied.
Wild confusion followed, and the Chairman
finally sent for the police. When quiet was
restored the meeting adjourned Without fix
ing a date or a place for the leap year party.

Two Battles With the Grip.
Mr. Jacob Knapp, a well-known market
man and dealer in meats, lard, hides, etc,
In Tipton, Iowa, says: "1 have had tne grip
for two winters, and this last winter I was
so badly off 1 could not eat and could not
rest because of coughing. I took medicine
from physleians here but did not get any re
lief. Having heard of Hood's Sarsaparllla I
took it and it helped me so much loonld
soon attend to my business. I have taken S
bottles now and feel strong and well, and
have a splendid appetite. Before taking
HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA
I wanted to tit down or lie down all the
time, but now I feel as strong as ever."

elaborately dressed, and as they swayed
gracefully back and forth through the ranpy
hall the band and the enthusiasm of the
spectators joined in making the night hid
eous. Charles Davis, Captap Fullwood, Will
iam Wright and several) other well-known
gentlemen acted as judges, and so well
pleaded were they with the skillful per
formance that they were entirely nnable to
determine which couple had won the first
prize until the gorgeous procession had
passed and repassed them and the contest
had narrowed down to a question of en
durance. ,
When the prizes were awarded an out
burst of applause fairly shook the building.
Friends oi the winning couple and many
who had never before seen them gathered
about to extend congratulations for fully
five minutes.
A Bewildering Uproar Prevailed
and while those who received only honor
able mention Instead of a prize of more
intrinsic worth left the hall well burdened
With disjpst, the winners carried away with
them satisfaction enough to run a colored
camp meeting.
Before the walk started the huge audi
ence was entertained for an hour or more
by a pie-eating match between six boys.
The hands of the boys are tied be
hind their backs, the pies are then placed
upside down upon the seats of chairs
and the boys, upon their knees, ate
the pies. The match was not only novel,
but it was decidedly amusing. The boy
consuming his pie first was awarded $1.
Hurry Schwab, manager of the Buquesne,
then presented the prizes to the several
winners.
Samuel Gilson. colored, created finite a
disturbance on Wylie sivenue, near Arthur
street, last night Gilson had made ar
rangements to take hii girl to the "cake
walk," and when he called to take her he
wis informed by the lady of the bouse that
she had gone with another colored gentle
man. He was arrested.
HADE HIS SUICIDE SUKE.

It May Be a Go Tills Time.
There is some talk that the contracts for
the erection of the AVest End Electric
Street Railway will be let within the next
few days. A number of the directors of
this company have been absent from the
city, and it is said the contracts till be let
immediately upon iheir return, which is
expected daily. The dispute be
tween the company and the Point
Bridge Company his not yet been
settled, but the traction company is not
allowing this matter to retard preparations
for the erection oi the road. The residents
on the property immediately west ot the
south end of the Point bridge have been no
tified to vacate hy April 1, and work will
be commenced on the power hous'e at once.

A MOST UNFORTUNATE CONDITION OF
UFE. tlTTLE tESS TfiAK A
UvTXQ DEATH.
The Caase of Many People's Misery Ex
plained. Volumes nave been written abont the reasons for
so many men and women breaking- down. Usu
ally it baa been assigned to high pressure living,
hysteria and other forms of nervous attletten,
which are the result of mighty ambition, of the
great desire for social esteem, and In short the
overtaxing of the nervous system of which every
body who lives In the larger cities hat teen many
examples. It hat remained, however, to be shown,
that these troubles are not necessarily earned by
high pressure, but by low pressure, not by a high
strain, but by no strain, not by Intense climate but
by low climate.
Many persons seem .to be surly and sullen, to
have a spirit of dull and sad resignation, to be al
most apparently walking in their sleep, as if they
simply existed. The majority of such cases are
confined to women. They make faithful wives and
mothers, doing their household duties with the pa
tience and resignation of the beasti of the field.
Kothlng can excite, nothing amnse, but few things
Interest them. A careful study of conditions, sur
roundings, symptoms, and manner of living, have
disclosed to an eminent physician that these Un
fortunate persons are not the victims of vicious,
ullen or miserable natures, but the victims of a
disease as clearly defined as any other disease, a
disease of despondency, of bearing down sensa
tions, of blues, of lack of all interest in life, of all
enjoyment, of all happiness. It is a collapse of
life-life without life. It Is a most unfortunate, a
most miserable condition.
Men and women who are In this state need, must
have, help. They must be aided to an Interest In
life, a desire for happiness. This cannot be ac
complished, simply by willing to have It come;
there must be some help, tome assistance. Will
power cannot accomplish It, bnt it mutt be tome
thing new, some late and remarkable discovery,
something that furnishes stimulating food, life to
the brain, which makes life worth living. Buch a
discovery it to be found in Flint's Celery Com
pound. It has taken thousand! of women who
were depressed, despondent, tired of life, and made
them healthy, happy and Joyous. It ha! taken
overworked and broken down men from whom all
buoyancy bad departed, and made them bright,
aetlre, vigorous. It has done this In thousands of
cases; It will do it in every case where the Instruc
tions accompanying It are carefully followed.
Here is what a few who have been rescued tay:
"Some time ago I was troubled with heart diffi
culty and indigestion, and was all rub. doWn, I
began taking Palne's Celery Compound and can
say that It has wrought wonders for me. I heartily
recommend It to all sufferers." Tour, etc.,
CBAS. D. wabbxit.
Wltllston, Va.
"I suffered terribly from nervousness and kidney
trouble, had no appetite, and felt weak and tired
all the time. Palne's Celery Compound hat made
me so well that I am cleaning my bouse (a very
large one) without help. I am very grateful to the
Compound, for it ti2M given me good health, sound
Sleep, a fresh complexion and the absence of
doctor's bills." Very respectfully yours.

"For years my mother suffered with nervous
troubles. She could not sleep Well, her appetite
was poor, and the grew weak, thin and melancholy.
Fbysieiant did not relieve ber, and nothing helped
her until the began to use Palne't Celery Com
pound. That made her ttrong, strengthened her
nerves, and did her a world ot good.'

Life, Is real; life is earnest. 'J American people
have no excuse for dying of dry rot. Arouse the
energies, awaken the ambition, rely upon tome
grand assistance like the great Compound above
named, and you win be surprised to tee bow much
happiness you will secure.

Expedition, and the inventor who has solved the great aeronautic problem ot to-day. The inventor betrays his secret discoveries and
a compact is made for an aerial expedition to the North Pole, the capitalist agreeing to furnish the money. The incidents of the second
chapter occur after a lapse of time, during which the "Aeropole" has been constructed add everything made readv for the dangerous
voyage. The air-ship is described; it is made of aluminium and propelled bv electricity, stored according to a wonderful method dis
covered by the inventor. Then follows in rapid suecessidn a series of absorbing and thrilling episodes: the attempt of a rival inventor
