THE PALLADIUM. Vol. XIX No. 7. Gifford BOOKER T. WASHINGTON BOOKER T. WASHINGTON The Southeastern Passenger Association, comprising all the railway lines south of the Ohio and Potomac and east of the Mississippi rivers, has granted a rate of one and one-third fare for the Tuskegee Negro Conference to be held at Tuskegee, Ala., February 18-19. These Tuskegee Negro Conferences have grown year by year increasingly in interest and influence. Those who would study the problem of the crop lien system and the conditions under which most of the Negro farmers of the South live, can find a valuable opportunity for such study at Tuskegee. A cordial invitation is extended to the general public to attend the Conference session next month. Persons desiring further information can address Principal Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala. The Twelfth Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference will convene at Tuskegee, Ala., Wednesday and Thursday, February 18 and 19, 1903. You are doubtless aware of the object of these conferences, i.e., the discussion of nest ways and means for the betterment of the condition of the Negro of the South. More and more the moral, intellectual and industrial condition of the race will engage the thoughtful attention of those who come to Tuskegee from all parts of the NAMELESS WRITERS It Has Now Become a Business to Threaten. Since the trouble in the Central Baptist Church the vile and cowardly curs have begun to show their power by intimidating certain members of Central Baptist Church by writing threatening letters. Several letters have been placed in our hands, and if their is any detective work that can unravel and bring to justice we shall do so. Since the court refused to hear any more of the case of J. L. Cohen some busy body is now trying to intimidate and sending threatening letters through the mail to the person that were with the church. We are informed that some sneaking hand has tried to put a yourg lady's eyes out. The lady is now in the hospital. We will find out who it was that are writing these nameless letters. Look out, we are on your heels. A grand rally is now being worked up to be at the First Baptist church February 1. Don't fail to come out and help them. WE CALL THE REPUBLICS AT- A new saloon on 2300 Manchester Ave has just been opened by Mr Wm. Dye a man who understands the business. He has one of the most pleasant places out west. Mr Dye thoroughly understands the business and you will be welcome and treated square. He has four rooms, one is for the pool tables, one for the gentleman who wish to rest awhile and one very beautiful waiting room for the ladies. The most refined can wait for the car out of the bad weather with no impropriety. The saloon is a very quite and orderly place. Ge and inspect this beautiful resort. My Dear Sir:— country to study these questions at first hand. The reports from different parts of the South, particularly from the state of Alabama, touching the needs and progress of the race, are always helpful and suggestive features of Tuskegee Negro Conferences. If for no other purpose than that of listening to the reports and to the valuable suggestions made, you and your friends—in short, every Negro—ought to try to be present at these meetings. Bring your family. The school will see that you are entertained without cost to yourself. Will you not help us extend the invitation all over the South? You can easily do so if you will tell all of your friends of the approaching conference. I am sending you two other letters like this one. Will you not, in the interest of the race, have your letter read in the next church meeting, or before any large body which meets near you? The other two letters might be addressed, by you, to persons in other communities; and thus the news will be carried everywhere. Kindly let me hear from you at once. Further information may be secured by addressing Mr. W. J. H. Boche, our Negro Conference Agent, or by writing me. Yours very truly, BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, Principal SELF-IMPROVEMENT FEDERATION.

The few introductory remarks by D E Gordon were followed by the hymn, "America," sung by the audience. The large audience had then the pleasure of being introduced to Mayor Rolla Wells Mayor Wells' appearance was greeted with applause. Those present appreciated the honor conferred upon them very highly and listened attentively to his remarks Mr. W L. Sheldon then arose to speak, but was compelled to refrain from any remarks by the deafening applause of the audience. Mr. Sheldon wins everyone's good will by his pronounced ability of viewing the humorous side of every incident. Dr. E. C. Runge then began the Illustrated Lecture on Russia. It was very interesting and instructive. The meeting was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Rev. W A. Credit, Pastor of the Cherry St. Church in Philadelphia, lectured to the Odd Fellows last Wednesday night, the pen cannot do justice to the Rev. gentlemen, the lecture was one of the most interesting lectures that we have ever heard. Rev. Cradi stands at the head of the most able men in this country of course the members of the Central Baptist Church have had many able preachers and they hardly know who to call of course Rev. Credit has a good Church and he has not give it a thought to leave his people in Philadelphia.

Lincoln Birthday Celebration The Forum Club will celebrate Lincoln's Birthday at the True Reformers Hall Thursday February 12th. There will be a program followed by dancing at 9:30 o'clock. [Name] This is the last opportunity to join the Labor Union of American Federation of Labor which entitles you to work with all trade unions in the city of St. Louis, and this is why you, my colored brother, should join organized labor. Where attacked and denounced as scarcely any other institution ever has been, the unions have thriven and grown in the face of opposition. This healthy vitality has been due to the fact that they were a genuine product of social needs, indispensable as a protest and struggle against the abuses of industrial government and inevitable as a consequence of that consciousness of strength inspired by the concentration of numbers. Under the new conditions of industry the have been as now, admitted by almost all candid minds, instruments of progress. Not to speak of the material advantages they have gained for workingmen, they have developed powerful sympathies among them, and taught them lessons of self-sacrifice in the interest of their brethren, and still more of their successors. They have infused a new spirit of independence and self-respect. They have brought some of the best men to the front and given them the ascendency due to their personal qualities and desirable in the interests of society. Yours truly. U. S. GRANT WHITE.

Credit one of the most powerful of pulpit orators, preached to the vast congregation of Central Baptist Sunday morning and evening. Dr Credit took for his text Sunday morning the 8th verse, 13th chapter of the Hebrew: "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, t-t-day and forever." He entered upon the subject with a force which displayed the depth of Christian feeling which animated him. He held the congregation almost spell-bound. His profound reasoning and the readiness with which he selected passages from various parts of the Bible to prove the authenticity of his text, classes him as a very learned man. After the sermon, a collection of $40 was received, after which many members of the large congregation received to the vestry of the church where they received a personal introduction to Rev. Credit. At 7:30 p.m. there was such a vast assembly that there was hardly standing room, each and everyone intent upon hearing Rev. Credit. Dr. W. P. T. Jones introduced Dr. Credit to the congregation for the purpose of acquaintance those who had not heard his morning sermon with the renowned speaker. Unfortunately Dr. Credit had contracted a cold during the forenoon which rendered his speaking rather difficult. Those who heard him greatly appreciate his sermons and hope to have the pleasure of listening to him soon again. H. H. Howell and T. J.

Taylor of Kirkwood is thinking about going to New York City in a very short time. Miss Bessie Weatherford of Kirkwood is so admiring that Mr, Taylor hates to leave to go anywhere. Some of the girls of Kirkwood are just as near crazy because he won't notice them. But there is one girl that cuts all of them out. He Needed All of Them. A well-known authoress was once talking with a dilapidated bachelor, who retained little but his conceit. "It is time now," he said, pompously, "for me to settle down as a married man, but I want so much. I want youth, health, wealth, of course beauty, grace—" "Yes," said his fair listener, sympathetically, "you poor man, you do want them all." -Fit-Bits. Hla Objection. "I wish," said Senator Sorghum, pensively, "that you would refrain from circulating these reports that I am willing to pay for votes." "Do you deny the charge?" "That has nothing to do with the case. I don't want everybody who might be willing to vote my way free to feel that he is wasting money."—Washington Star. Keeping Her at Home. Wife—Don't you think you might manage to keep house alone for a week, while I go off on a visit? Husband—I guess so; yes, of course. "But won't you be lonely and miserable?" "Not a bit." "Huh!

(5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. the largest order in the state of Missouri. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. The Palladium is sold at the following places: 2617 Lawton Ave.; 1208 Wash St. 2652 Lucas 'Ave.; Charleston, Mo. West Plains, Mo.; 3104 State St., Chicago, Ill. GONZALES AND TILLMAN. Editor Gonzales, the victim of Tillman's bullet, has passed away, shot down without the slightest opportunity of self-defense. The act in itself stamps the doer as a coward. Lieut. Tillman could be no relative of the egotistic Senator Tillman without showing the characteristic traits. When Senator Tillman said that if one scratched the skin of the Negro, underneath he would find the blood of the savage, he doubtless judged others by himself. One need not even scratch the skin of a Tillman to see the cowardice exude; it springs forth voluntarily. The trumped-up charge of Tillman's that Gonzales slandered him is too thin for any consideration. Any fool knows that an editor of a newspaper is not going to slander any person without good proof of his charges. The truth always stings the hardest. We hope sincerely that Tillman will receive the full penalty of the law. POSTMASTER BAUMHOFF. We trust that the flimsy charges lodged against Postmaster Baumhoff will be disapproved and that Mr. Baumhoff will again be reappointed. He has made an excellent postmaster and the charges made are merely the production of a few pot-house politicians. We are informed that some member of the State Committee is wrapped up in the charge and has offered a Negro a position in the Interior Department with a salary of $125 per month and a purse of $300 if he, the Negro, will not give the information to Postmaster Baumhoff. The Negro must and shall tell the truth, and show what foul men those vile slanderers are. They are simply trying to blackmail the fair name of our postmaster. The Palladium would like to know who this man McGree is and what part he is taking in this postoffice affair? NHWS FROM OUR EXCHANGES. We have at last found some one to agree with us upon the subject of "Parents and Teachers," namely The Texas Guide in its article, entitled "Save the Negro Children." We have to give it to The Broadax of Chicago. It certainly knows how to put it on the pastor of Bethel church. The Topeka Plaindealer contains a verry intesesting discussion of the race question embodied in private letters between J. J. Ingalls and P. H. Coney. The Clarion of Nashville sounds the keynote of the Negro race in the following editorial. Will some one tell the writer of The Southern Negro to read it? If the Negroes will get together and ```markdown ``` stand united, in one solid phalanx, and act in concert, with cool heads, along the lines of religion, education and business will have nothing to fear from man, taking God as his leader.—Clarion. While he is reading, let him also glance ever the editorial in the Afro-American of January 17, entitled "Provincialism and Exclusiveness." THE NORTHERN NEGRO The Washington Bee of January 17 contains an editorial, entitled "The Southern Negro." in which the writer endeavors to differentiate between the Northern and Southern Negro. He makes this astounding statement: "You will find the Northern educated Negro a first-class hash slinger, torsorial artist, bellman and head waiter." And another statement that "If you take the Negro born in the North you will find him behind some white man's table or charity student at Yale or Harvard." He says Negroes in the South are Registers of the Treasury, Recorders of Deeds, Postmasters, etc. It strikes the calm observer that the present time is rather inappropriate for a dissension between Negroes, especially as far as provincialism is concerned, the question of the race is at stake, whether or not he shall be recognized as an American citizen and consequently receive rights due him as such. President Roosevelt in his attitude toward our race did not mention the Southern Negro in particular. The Indianola affair has brought the race as a whole before the eyes of the world and a Negro newspaper should be the last to draw a line of distinction. As far as accepting favors from the white man is concerned, we all do that. That is just the point at issue now. The refusal to bestow favors is the foundation of all racial discussion. It is not our reluctance at accepting them. There may be Representatives, Recorders and every other great "I am" in the South, but when it comes to a show down, even those offices could be retained without the approval of the white man. Our own race has nothing to give us. We must of necessity accept favors. As for the torsional artists the writer of that editorial knows that there is no one more prominent among members of our race than the barbers. We all want to have that "patent leather" effect upon our heads and barbers are certainly benefited by their knowledge in that time. So there is education even in hair-cutting. And when it comes to hash-singers we sincerely hope the gentleman who discriminates so rigidly between the Northern hash-singer and the Southern Senator, will never experience the pangs of hunger and have the Northern hash-singer refuse to sling hash his way. With no animosity whatever we would suggest to the writer that he monopolize his time in commenting upon the good points of his brother and not flaunt his faults before the public for criticism. PARENTS AND TEACHERS. The lot of a public school teacher is undoubtedly one of the hardest. One of the chief causes is the lack of sympathy that exists between parents and teachers. Teachers are annoyed from 9:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. by the disorder of an average of 35 pupils, and when they complain to the parents, they receive, if anything, a severe rebuke. Girls who have spent the greater part of their lives in securing an education by means of which they expect to support themselves, find upon receiving their assignments, that they are totally unable to control children ranging from six to ten years. A child goes home with some cock- and-bull story of what the t-acher did to him, and in the majority of cases, instead of being repimanded by his parents, is sent back to school with orders to tell that teacher she'd better not repeat the offense or his mother will come down and see her about it. No parent has the slightest idea of the insolent attitudes some of the children assume toward the teacher. Disobedience and impudence need not necessarily be embodied in words—actions are far more expressive and more often resorted to. If parents would but give their children to understand that any report of disorder will be punished without question, teachers would not have their nervous systems worn out and have to secure leaves of Absence to recuperate their health. A teacher has but one aim in view and that is the development of the minds of those in her charge and she needs all the sympathy and assistance that can be tendered her. CHARITY BALL The annual Charity ball of the Provident Hospital and Training School will take place at True Reformer's hall, Monday, Feb. 23, 1903. The invitation list is now being prepared. Send in at once the names and addresses of all persons you desire to be invited. Address all communications to Dr. Edward J. Davis, Provident Hospital, Beaumont and Morgan streets. D. E. GORDON, President. HUTCHINS INGE. Secretary. ALLEGRA & TRAILWAY ALLEGRA & TRAILWAY Howard University, Washington, D.C. A CRREFULLY MANAGED BUSINESS. St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 31, 1902. 2218-20 Morgan street. The following is a statement of the amount of business actually transacted by W. C. Gordon, undertaker and embalmer during the period of eight months, beginning May 1, 1902, and ending Dec. 31, 1902. Mr. W. C. Gordon began business at his present location on the 1st of May as afore mentioned, and the office has handled during the eight months of the business upwards of $40,000 and over 25 per cent of the 1,000 colored funerals in the city during 1902, which is a remarkable and healthy state of business. The facts herein given proves the worth and value of a business carefully managed and establishes this business as one of the first of the city in quality and standing, if not more. It will be also noticed that Mr. Gordon contributed largely to charity and patroniles nearly all the leading papers in the city and some few outside, thus helping other business to exist and showing the sympathetic trend that enables one business to aid another. Mr. Goudon employs much help about his business and his employees are treated kindly by him and think very highly of him. During the holidays they presented him with a handsome cuckoo clock which adorns the walls, a memento of their feelings towards him. The office opens year, 1903 in a prosperous condition and bids fair to rival the numerous similar establishments in the city, because Mr. Gordon's method of conducting his business is such as to win and retain to himself a large amount of the funeral business of the city. The clerks, manager and other employees about the premises are all polite and accommodating and nothing is left undone which would apply to the satisfaction and wishes, of patrons and visitors. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE NOTES. The New Year has started out well indeed with the school. During the week of prayer, quite a large number of studentswere converted. Dr Frank H. Sanders, Dean of the Yale University, is spending a while with us. He is lecturing to the young men of the Phelps Hall Bible Training School every morning and to the student-body at night in the Chapel. It has become known that Mr Andrew Carnegie is to visit the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute some time during the latter part of February or March, to inspect the new library building at the school, for which he gave the money some time ago. Several photographs of this building have been sent to Mr Carnegie and he has become very much interested in in the building, especially in view of the fact that the plans were drawn by one of the instructors of the school and practically built by the students of the school. Robert K. Wallace. We again call attention of the Collector at the Custom House to the fact that there are several toughs lounging around in the Janitor's Room. It would be well to put a watchman on to these loafers. We understand that several overcoats have taken feet and walked off. Clear the Halls and Janitor's Rooms. One who knows. We are indebted to Miss May Clematis of the Washington Bee for the following excellent points: A letter should be written so that a third party can read it. Don't imagine you are admired because you are told so. Deception is often the underlying principle with some people. (Special to Palladium) NOTICE. UNITED AFTER MANY YEARS. Daughter Morned as Dead on Her Way from Bavaria to Join Father in Chicago. The privilege of seeing and caressing a daughter whom he last knew as a babe and whom he mourned as dead for 20 years will be allowed Phillip Hattmansburger, of Chicago. According to the man, who will be the recipient of the great joy, his life has been clouded with trouble since he left his, wife and a rosy-cheeked infant in Bavaria and came to America to find a fortune for them many years ago. Hattmansburger came to the United States about 1871. He did not have the necessary funds to bring his young wife and babe with him, but he promised the first of his earnings would go to pay their passage to the new home. The wife came, according to Hattmansburger's story, but left the child behind in care of a grandmother. Later he said he was told that the babe had died. Soon after this information reached them Hattmansburger and his wife separated. As the child, which had been named Katrina, grew into womanhood she began to make inquiries regarding her parents: She informed Chief O'Neill of the circumstances of her case. Descriptions of Hattmansburger were published in German newspapers, where the man noticed it. He hurried to central station. A few minutes later a cablegram was being dispatched to the town in which he had been reared. An answer from his daughter followed in quick succession. The young woman said she would start for America, and she is now on her way. LITTLE HARM FROM MICROBES Scientist Who Tried to Disprove the Koch Theory Reports the Result of His Experiments. Dr. Borrel, chief officer of the laboratory of the Pasteur institute, has issued a report on the experiments of Dr. Garnault, a French physician who inoculated himself with matter from a consumptive cow to disprove the theory of Prof. Koch that bovine tuberculosis cannot be communicated to a human being. The report states that after a minute examination of the results of the experiment, which extended from July 15 to November 12, Dr. Borrel finds it impossible to draw any definite conclusion. Apparently, however, a man inoculated with a tuberculosis fragment from a cow becomes affected with tuberculosis, but only at the point of inoculation. It is impossible to say what became of the microbes with which Dr. Garnault inoculated himself, whether they disappeared or adapted themselves to a new life in his tissues. It is noteworthy, however, that some microbes taken on November 12 from the same source as those he used were applied to a guinea pig and proved active and virulent.

The progress of the Palladium as a weekly paper has been beyond our expectations, although the financial success has not quite reached the mark. Our fearless, courageous and impartial account of all matter has gained for us the reputation of being foremost among weekly papers. Our aim has been to edit the Palladium as a daily paper during the year 1904. So far things have a bright aspect for that end, and we shall endeavor by constant hard work, to inform the public of the daily occurrences among our race. $500.00 Concert and Passion Play combined.

Recognizing the fact that there are many 80-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics. OZONO, with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is required. $0.00. Now, we ask you a plain question: Do you forfeit $0.00 if you are dissatisfied with the true to all we claim for them? We have under this guarantee, and we are glad to Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. We are to-day using our preparations, and Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics. Ozono out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly. Reilly will make short, harsh hair long and strands itching, worrying scalp diseases. Ich, Ich not live after Ozono has been applied. It will. It will restore gray hair to its natural soft. There, let us make a statement. Many first lighten hair, but when they send the prey rinses.
