In traveling on the cars from Bethel to Jackson, Tenn., the Twenty-seventh Iowa infantry was saved from a fearful loss of life by the heroism of two union women—this was in the summer of 1863, says the American Tribune. The train was running in the night, and at a high rate of speed, and just before reaching a railroad bridge the engineer saw a couple of lanterns being waved in the distance, directly on the track. He stopped the locomotive and men were sent ahead to ascertain the cause of the alarm. They found that the lanterns were held by two women, who explained to them that a band of bushwhackers in the vicinity had been informed of the coming of the regiment and at about eight o'clock that evening they would set fire to the bridge, allowing the main timbers to burn, so they could not bear the weight of the train, and then put out the flames and went away. Their purpose was to have the cars run on the bridge, and then go crashing down for 50 feet into the river, carrying 600 soldiers down in the fall. These noble women had learned of the intentions from the bushwhackers as they retreated into the mountains, and they walked ten miles through the mud and darkness to save the union soldiers. A Sense of Duty: No fault can be found with a man's sense of duty if he finds time to do things he doesn't want to do.—Atchison Globe. Progress of Egypt. It is quite possible that other states may have made as great progress as Egypt has during the last 20 years. It is, however, doubtful if in any other country the good results of constructive statesmanship can be so accurately measured in bushels of produce, in pounds and pence of revenue, in decreasing percentages of illiteracy and in increasing numbers of righteous instead of corrupt court decisions—International Quarterly. Mixing the Crops. ST.LOUIS,MO.,SATURDAY,FEBRUARY 28,1903. BETRAYED BY A ROOSTER. Story Related by Admiral Jouett of the Clever Capture of a Blockade Runner. Of no officer in the navy are more amusing stories told than of the late Admiral Jouett. He was not only a conscientious and brilliant officer, but one of the kindest men, the merriest souls, and the cleverest story-tellers that ever wore the navy blue, says a Washington correspondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean. A favorite tale with him, and one that his cronies never tired of hearing repeated, was his account of the capture of a blockade runner which came about by his hearing a rooster crow. "In the early days of the war," the admiral would say, "I was a youngster of a lieutenant in command of the Montgomery, an old sea monster of a merchantman converted into a man-of-war, which, like the Mary Dunn, of Dover, had three decks and no bottom. "Her battery was poor, and the chase gun, a ten-inch Columbiad, had been condemned years before. The powder was wet, and the fuses of the shell defective. "We were cruising off the coast of Louisiana, out of sight of land, awaiting the supply steamer from the north. There was little to eat, nothing to do, and I was still suffering from the wound I received when we captured the royal yacht. "One densely foggy morning at about four o'clock I was pacing up and down the deck with the mid-watch, when I suddenly heard a rooster crow. It was some moments before the significance of that crow occurred to me. Then, turning to one of the officers, I said: "Are there any chickens aboard?" "No, sir." "Didn't the boats bring any yesterday?" "I think not," was the answer. "Well,' said I, 'when we swung up north I heard a rooster crow. A blockade runner had certainly gone out. Call all hands. Make sail—it was a stiff wind—for Havana. Send word to the engineer to give me all the steam he can, and send extra men to the fireroom." "I had been ill for a long time, dangerously ill, and at this order the under officers exchanged significant glances. "No, gentlemen,' said I, divining their thoughts, 'I am not crazy. I heard a rooster crow, and we'll find him when this fog lifts.' "When the fog lifted at 7:30 a.m. before us lay a schooner, all sails set, making for Havana. The condemned gun was fired, but the powder was worse than the gun, and the ball, after rolling on the water for half a mile, sank. "We soon overtook her, however. She was flying the Louisiana state flag, showing a pelican, and as we ranged alongside we found 14 hard and desperate looking men in the stern. "‘Haul down that rag,’ I yelled at the top of my voice. "My order met with no response. Thirty marines stood on the poop deck THE CONDEMNED GUN WAS FIRED. of the Montgomery with muskets loaded with ball and buckshot cartridges. "Sergeant, ready!' was the command. 'Haul down that — rag, — you,' I called out again, and down fell the pelican from its proud position. "How in thunder did you know we were off here?' asked the captured captain. "You've got a rooster on board,' replied I, 'and he gave us warning of your vicinity at four o'clock this morning." "I'll wring his neck!' growled the furious confederate. "No, you won't,' I sharply announced; 'he's mine by right of capture,' and since then I have always maintained that the Biblical rooster was not the only historic chanticleer." Poor Little Spider.

For the Palladium The great event of the week ending February 21 was the concert given by the students of Lincoln Institute in the Hall of the house of Representatives on Friday evening Feb. 20th. The time of the concert was auspicious for at least two important reasons, the appropriation bill for the maintenance of the institution for the ensuing two years, although recommended by the committee, has not yet been passed upon; and the separate Coach Bill has not been brought ug for final vote. The literary and musical program rendered on this occasion, was in every sense first-class and up to date. The former consisted of nine orations on live subjects, seven from the Senior class, trained by Professor J. Silone Yates of the department of English: two from the Junior class, trained by Professor J. S. Moten of the department of mathematics. The speakers one and all, gave evidence of careful personal study, and well directed training: and were complimented again and again for the skillful manner in which they handled their subjects, for their accurate pronunciation, and careful attention to the details of oratory. Notwithstanding the length of the program, each speaker commanded and received the most perfect attention and deafening aplause. The excellent musical program was under the direction of Mis Carrie Carney of the department of Music (Misses Florence Pigion assistant in Musical Department and May E. Grimshaw of the Department of Domestic Planists were received with unbound enthusiasm and included every line of first class music from the Jubilee song to the classic opera. President B. F. Allen presided with his usual courteous and dignified bearing, and received many hearty congratulations upon the eminent success attending his administration, as evidenced by the unusually large enrollment, the excellent grade of students, and the success of the concert. The entertainment was pronounced by those senators, representatives, and newspaper reporters, who have attended concerts given by the institute during several former sessions of the legislature, as "The best one yet." The large brilliant audience was made up of senators, representatives, state officials, their families, and the leading citizens of Jefferson City. Prominent among members of the official corps was State Superintendent of Public Instruction, W. T. Carrington, who as ex-official Regent of Lincoln Institute, is deeply interested in its success, and especially, perhaps in the Agricultural Department. Said several prominent members of the Legislature to the President Allen after listening no the concert "You shall have all the appropriation you have asked for." Said others "This concert is the best Argument we have heard yet for the negative side of the Separate Coach Bill." And others, - Lincoln Institute is doing a great thing fos Missouri." The ere is probably no other Negro Institution of learning thus situated in aate capital that has similar opportunity to place itself before the legislators, and make through the work of its students, a personal plea for its support and continued advancement. "Long live Lincoln Institute." AS LONG AS THE LIGHT HELD OUT TO BURN THE SINNER MAY RETURN. Rev. R. H. Cole, Principal of the Simmons School, joined the Central Baptist Church. This act of Rev. Cole has created a general comment, as he was a member, and Secretary of that famous expatriate council held Oct. 30 1902 at Second Baptist Church of which Dr. W. W. Boyd was chairman. In said council the Central Baptist Church was denounced in the most unmerciful terms. Rev. Cole, by his act in joining the Central, places the strongest condemnation upon the decision of that Council and shows his approval of the action af the Central Baptist Church in her dealings with Rev. Cohron. We are glad to see Rev. Cole acknowledge his wrongs and get on the right side. Let others follow suit. Mrs. Winnie Body of Moberly, Mois in the best of health. She is the grandmother of little Winnie Booth, whose picture appeared in the last week's issue of the Palladium, McGrew has roamed about creating disturbances and holding his victims up in ridicule until they become the objects of morbid public sentiment. For years this man has been a disturber of the peace, seeking glory at the expense of other men's honor. It is a shame, indeed, that such a sow as Andy McGrew should spring from the loins of such a honorable man as the late Judge McGrew. It only proves how low man may fall in his dishonable ravages for plunder. Pat Clark, McGrew, Howard, Tatum and their assistants are willing in their sound-mongring carnage to rend every tie of family devotion and love. We have in view but one end, and our knowledge that right will triumph over wrong, compels us to push the battle against these conspirators to very gates of conviction. Even though the Palladium is a Negro organ and devoted chiefly to Negro news, we will not stand silently by and see a man whose honor has stood the test of time, wantonly attacked and beaten down by a band of liars and degenerates who seek only to appease their immoral appetites and ongings for political spoils. LINCOLN AND THE CLERGYMEN One Instance in Which the Genial President Lost His Habitual Good Humor. Clergymen were always welcome by Mr. Lincoln at the white house with the respectful courtesy due to the sacred calling. During the progress of the war, and especially in its earliest stages, he was visited almost daily by reverend gentlemen, sometimes as single visitors, but more frequently as delegations, says Col. Ward H. Lamon, in the Philadelphia Times. He was a patient listener to the words of congratulation, counsel, admonition, exhortation and sometimes reproof which fell from the lips of his pious callers, and generally these interviews were entertaining and agreeable on both sides. It not infrequently happened, however, that these visits were painfully embarrassing to the president. One delegation, for example, would urge with importunate zeal a strict observance of the Sabbath day by the THE SENATOR MR. LINCOLN'S REPLY WAS A NOT-ABLE ONE. army; others would insist upon speedy proclamation of emancipation, while some recounted the manifold errors of commanding generals, complained of the tardy action of the government in critical emergencies, and proposed sweeping changes of policy in the conduct of the war. On but one occasion that I can now recall was Mr. Lincoln's habitual good humor visibly overtaxed by these well-meaning but impatient advisers. A committee of clergymen from the west called one day, and the spokesman, fired with uncontrollable zeal, poured forth a lecture which was fault finding in tone from beginning to end. It was delivered with much energy, and the shortcomings of the administration were rehearsed with painful directness. The reverend orator made some keen thrusts, which evoked hearty applause from other gentlemen of the committee. Mr. Lincoln's reply was a notable one. With unusual animation he said: "Gentlemen, suppose all the property you possess were in gold, and you had placed it in the hands of Blondin to carry across the Niagara river on a rope. With slow, cautious, steady step he walks the rope, bearing your all. Would you shake the cable and keep shouting to him: 'Blondin, stand up a little straighter! Blondin, stoop a little more! Go a little faster! Lean more to the south! Now lean a little more to the north!' Would that be your behavior in such an emergency? No; you would hold your breath, everyone of you, as well as your tongues. You would keep your hands off until he was safe on the other side. This government, gentlemen, is carrying an immense weight. Untold treasures are in its hands. The persons managing the ship of state in this storm are doing the best they can. Don't worry them with needless warnings and complaints. Keep silent, be patient, and we will get you safe across. Good day, gentleman. I have other duties pressing upon me that must be attended 14. $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents. A PEN PICTURE OF THE ARCH SCHEMES IN THE POST- OFFICE SCANDAL. We again take the liberty of stating our position in the postoffice fight in order that the public may know and understand our exact connection. We have not seen or conversed in any way with Mr. Baumhoff, Andy McGrew, Pat Clark, Jack Tatum, W. W. Howard, or either of the men at the stamp windows. Our course has been an honorable one based on unvarnished facts, and we stand ready at any time to prove every allegation which has appeared in the columns of this paper. In order that the public might know the exact facts in the case we conduced our own investigation, and we are free to admit that on first hearing the charges we thought that there must be some foundation, for surely no man would venture to so maliciously malign and assail the character of another unless there was just cause for such an act. The first chapter in the case were the statements of Birdie K— and Annie D— to Andy McGrew. Both of these girls, however, said that it had been two years prior to their confessions that they had been offered these indignities. Andy McGrew himself said that he was sorry that he did not have a stronger case but made known his intention of going after Baumhoff. Andy needed a counsel, but most of all, money. So it was at this time that Pat Clark was called into the case, only to be joined in rapid succession by Jack Tatum, W. W. Howard, the Assistant Custodian, a big fellow from the Money Order Department, and two men from the stamp windows. Pat Clark and the stamp window men proved valuable allies for McGrew, for they never failed to stand and deliver when McGrew so demanded. These men began to hold caucuses last May, '02, and they have lasted until the present time. Caucuses composed of McGrew, Clark, Howard, Tatum, and others were held with such a degree of regularity that these meetings, which were held in the corridor of the Custom House, became the chief topic upon the tongues of the Government employees. As early as the 1st of last May Andy McGrew made it known that he was after the Postmaster's scalp, one month prior to which time the Palladium had stated that "Andy McGrew, the carrion bird of the 14th ward, was preparing in his silence to belch forth his fifty lute upon some unsuspecting victim." The prophecy was true. Months ago the war dogs of the Palladium were unchained and told to collect evidence and hew to the line. Our course has been honorable in the collection of this evidence which marks Andy McGrew and his followers as the blackest-hearted band of wretches that ever infested this or any other city. The further one investigates this case the more convinced he becomes that the Postmaster is the victim of a diabolical, immoral scheme, fostered and promoted by a band of degenerates, spurred on by the oily McGrew and hope of political plunder. McGrew is shrewd and plastic and the originator of many of the foul and nefarious schemes which have been brought to light in St. Louis in the past twenty years. Howard is possessed of all the looks of a savage bull-dog. He carries that licentious air of a professional cut-throat and a hirling who could scarcely note the difference between a friend and foe when blood is up and plunder in sight. The friends of McGrew and Howard have said that they were being persecuted. Such being the case, the fifty dollars will agree to pay ($50) fifty dollars to any reputable person of good moral character, who will make an affidavit to the good morals and honesty of either Andy McGrew, Pat Clark or W. W. Howard. This offer will hold good for a period of thirty days. Pat Clark is an old man. He has passed over the meridian of life and is on the decline. His bosom should contain at this period a portion of that fatherly love and respect which seeks to unite and lift up; instead, however, he has chosen the course of the mongrel, snapping and snarling at the heels of his superiors. It is the old story of man's inhumanity to man. We have nothing personally against any of these men, but such individuals are a menace to every honest officeholder, and the public should know their real character. One of these imaculate fellows so forgot himself as to threaten to do bodily harm to the Palladium man. We only say, let them proceed. We can care for ourselves. Like the a suckling wolf, flitting about hither skither, the putrid carcass of the imaculate Andy everywhere creating its foul and unwelcome stink. It is right arrayed against wrong—it is honesty against dishonesty. For years THE PALLADIUM. Entered at the postoffice at St. Louis Mo., as second-class matter. Published Weekly by J. W.

HAS PECULIAR PETS. HAS PECULIAR PETS. Miss Sanderson Loves All Kinds of Crawling Things. Among Her Prime Favorites Are Gila Monsters, Rattlesnakes, Tarantulas, Lizards, Toads and Other Serpents. Harboring pets whose sting means leath, caressing them, teaching them tricks and attending to their needs and comforts quite as eagerly and affectionately as other girls look after their cats, dogs or canary birds, is a favorite occupation with Miss Lillian Sanderson, who lives among the beautiful oak-covered hills just back of Nordhoff, Cal. Miss Sanderson, says the San Francisco Examiner, is of a dashing brunette type, and is a great social favorite, being vivacious and witty and possessing a remarkably rich, full contralto voice. To look at her, to hear her sing or speak, one would never suspect that she derived her greatest happiness in life from companionship with a colony of creeping, crawling, sinuous creatures or from spending several weeks at a time in some old shack in the mountains while hunting for new specimens to add to her lively collection. When Miss Sanderson asked of her parents that a room in their handsome new home be set aside for her pets there was naturally some opposition to establishment of a veritable Dante's Inferno within the confines of the family residence; but her whims have always been gratified and, as usual, the girl had her way, the result being that one of the largest, sunniest apartments is thronged with outdoor denizens—snakes, Gila monsters, tarantulas, lizards of many species and other queer inhabitants—the whole making a display so formidable that even Satan himself would drop his pitchfork and run from the scene. The young snake enthusiast was PLAYED WITH A RATTL born in the mountains near a great mine in which her father was interested, and as soon as she was able to toddle among the rocks that surrounded the log-cabin home her baby voice shouted merrily at every bug, spider, worm or lizard that crossed her pathway. She played with them, handling them carefully, tenderly and crooned to them as most children eroon to their dolls, and they seemed to reciprocate her affection by contented submission. One day when she was three years old she slipped out and away while her mother was busy with household tasks. When she was missed the usual calls failed to bring her. Several hours passed by and the mother became almost frantic with fear, for there were mountain lions in the surrounding forests, as well as many other dangers that might assail the child. A search party was organized, and after a tramp of two miles through the wilderness the youngster was discovered behind a huge bowler with an immense coiled ratter beside her, which she was stroking as contentedly as if it had been a kitten. The snake also seemed to be enjoying itself immensely, and the softly vibrating rattles made a sound like purring. The father, horrified, quickly grasped the baby from danger and then killed the snake. The child screamed and sobbed and raged over the loss of her pet and it was many days before she recovered her usual sweetness of temper. After that memorable experience father and mother watched the child more carefully, but in spite of their diligence she enjoyed many a play-hour with snakes that she found or which she enticed from their holes. They never offered to bite her, but accepted her caresses as a matter of course, and so it was with every nature thing. She seemed to possess some remarkable power that soothed and made wild creatures docile and tractable at her will. At last her parents discovered that she was, carrying on these meetings, and finding that no harm resulted from her strange associates they gradually became reconciled to her having reptilian pets, but commanded that the "beasts" be kept in one place, and be not introduced into the general domestic life. And so, with the exception of a huge gopher snake that rids the place of mice, and a few horned toads and lizards that bask on the sunny window sills and catch flies, all the pets are now relegated to one room, some having their individual glass cages, while others enjoy the freedom of the apartment.

President Wilson, of Princeton, declares Against Colleges Located in Large Cities. President Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton university, in the course of a lecture the other night before the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences on "The Function of the University in the United States," startled the alumni of Columbia and various other universities located in cities by the positive statement that the university which was robbed by its urban location of the community atmosphere was a failure in the highest and best definition of the American university. "The need of the university," said Dr. Wilson, "is that it should be a community with all the wonderful advantages that that word conveys. I don't believe that, unless the students of the university are kept together, they can get the atmospheric advantage of the community. "If the students, after they leave the lecture and class rooms of the university, can at once dive out into the street of a great city and become drifting and separate integral parts of urban life, they are not getting the benefit of a university. They are simply going to a day school. It is my firm conviction that the real effects of a university are wrought between the hours of six p. m. and nine a. m. It is during those hours the all powerful influence of association between mind and mind is exerted. "Therefore it is absolutely necessary that the American university should be a compact and homogeneous community. The individualistic spirit is not American." NEW CURE FOR CONSUMPTION. Montreal Physician Tells of His Experiments with Electrical Currents. What physicians term "high frequency" electrical currents may cure consumption and greatly prolong human life, in the belief of Dr. G. P. Girdwood, of Montreal. Before the closing session of the American Roentgen Ray society at the Sherman house, Chicago, Dr. Girdwood explained the possible new benefits to the human race from experiments made by him and Dr. Higgins, of Montreal. Eight guinea pigs, inoculated with tuberculosis bacilli, were separated into two groups of four each. Those of one group were treated to applications of high frequency electrical currents from an Oudin resonator. A pole was fastened to an iron plate covered with a thick pad, and standing on the pad the pig received a part of the current by induction. The other four animals were allowed to live or die without any attempt being made to cure them. Of the pigs not treated the first died in 16 days, the second in 17 days, and the third and fourth in 36 and 48 days respectively. Those receiving the current for two-minute periods daily lived almost twice as long. Dr. Girdwood said he believed similar results could be obtained by treating human beings to such currents. MARCONI HAS NEW SCHEME. Wireless Telegraph Inventor Expects to Starte the World, But Keeps the Matter Secret. Marconi has another invention which he expects will startle the world. He will not announce it formally until the wireless experiments are completed, which he says, will be before the end of the year. There is much speculation as to what turn the inventor is about to take, but he will make no statement whatever concerning his new invention. When seen by a reporter, Signor Marconi said that nothing will be given out concerning his new invention until after he has completed the wireless telegraphy experiments at Halifax, N. S. News was received at Halifax, N. S., from Glace Bay that a meeting was held in London by the backers of Marconi for the purpose of changing the charter of the English company with a view to expanding business, enlarging the scope of the field of operation and getting more power.

OZONO AND CEDROLINE — The new, non-failing and infallible Hair, OZONO and CEDROLINE, used conjuntion, cannot fail to lend to the Hair length, hustle, life, and beauty. One year ago the directors of the BOSTON CHEMICAL CO., with the sole purpose and intention to produce an absorbent hair product, approved a price of $6,000 for the purpose alone. The services of three of the world's most noted chemists were secured, who, after twelve months of investigation and costly experiments, have successfully formulated a treatment so potent and powerful, yet so harmless and safe, that its immediate effect upon no health hazard is unknown. This treatment is based on the confidence, as it is certain to produce results most gratifying, causing the Hair to grow long and luxuriant, straight, and of a most delicate and pliable texture. It prevents the tendency of the Hair to draw up, contract, curl, and twist, and it does not cause any irritation or damage to the Hair to grow out on all bald spots, scant partings, thin places, and bare temples. It is sure to prevent the Hair from falling, breaking off, and spitting at the end. This great combined treatment is now the most wonderful remedy for hair loss.

One of the most brutal, vicious, lowdown attacks that ever was made was that of a big, burly brute in the garb of a policeman upon Miss Eva Wallace, of 5425 St. Louis avenue. Several weeks ago Wm. T. Connell accosted Miss Wallace upon her way home from work and made an indignant proposal to her. Miss Wallace rejected his insult, and upon reaching home, reported the case to her mother. This put the parents on guard and the mother of the went to the lady's house who employed her and told the lady what had happened, and also that if she could not make some provisions for the girl to remain at her house every night, the mother would be compelled to keep her at home. Mr. Wallace then told another lady and said she feared to make the case public because the brute was an officer and had prominent influence. After this, the mother or some other member of the family met the girl every evening and accompanied her home. Later on, when the lady had provided a bed for the girl, she did not return home any more. A few day's later as Miss Wallace was on her way to a store on Eastern Ave. and about to return home, she was accosted again by the officers. He repeated his insults and violently pushed her back from the glare of the gas-light; then blew a whistle, which was the signal for a carriage to appear. He took her to a house somewhere on Pine St. wher he kept her all night. Toward morning, the carriage again drove up and the policeman ordered the driver to drive toward the river. He made her alight from the carriage and from his actions seemed as if he desired to push her in the water. She clung to him desperately and seeing his attempt was useless, he again placed her in the carriage. He drove toward the house where she was employed. In the meantime, he asked her if she had gentleman company. The girl replied in the affirmative and the officer then told her if she would accused him of the assault, he would kill her. "Miss Wallace's condition is very serious. We will watch developments and see what disposition Chief Kiely and officers will make of the case. We read oi Bishop Turner's letter to Senator Tillman with painful surprise. That a Bishop of a Church, a so-called Christian man, should uphold Senator Tillman's views and acts relative to Negroes, makes one almost doubt the teachings of religion. We heartily agree with Bishop Turner in saying that officers are of minor importance when the question of manhood is at stake, but to openly approve anything Senator Tillman says is demanding entirely too much. That a leader of our race should express heartfelt approval of the dehumanizing of his brethren makes us feel as Caesar did when the dagger of Brutus pierced his heart and he exclaimed, "Et tu, Brute." We hear the Old Black Man had a conception fit over an article in last week's issue of the Palladium. The Palladium buried the hatchet at the beginning of the year, but in its war dance over the effects of the Old Man's article on principals and teachers, it accidentally kicked a little of the sand off in which the hatchet had been buried. We'll smooth it over again however. Senator Tillman, in addressing the Senate, remarks that he does not hate the Negroes were bad. We wonder what changed the Senator's sentiments all of a sudden? To what miraculous cause are we indebted for such a commendable compliment from his lordship? $4 to $8 a day guaranteed to every person sending their name and address to Scott Remedy Co., P. O.

THE EAGLE MAN, POOR MILLER The article headed "Kidnaped" in the Eagle of last week was one of the most disgraceful pieces ever seen in print. J. D. Miller, he of the bland smile, bald head and cast-iron affrontery continues in his ignorant way to comment, as only he can comment, on the daily occurrences. Miller isn't a newspaper man. He never claimed to be. One fate was unkind enough to cast him in his present vocation and necessity has kept him a prisoner. Miller reminds us of a turn-down at one of the local theaters by McIntire and Heath, a few seasons ago, when a country boy was induced to give up his position in a livery stable and go on the stage to show his ability. He found himself and failure without money or friends, and wished he had his job back in the livery stable, and others might have his talent. Central in Line. At last the Central Baptist Church has obeyed the behest of the Palladium and called Dr. Credit, of Philadelphia, to the pastorate of that body. Poor Jarrett. Poor Jarrett, the well-known old Baptist preacher from 12th and Morgan streets, is in the Workhouse for disturbing the peace of his members. Jarrett was an inoffensive, harmless old man and it to be pitied rather than censored. H. H. Wilburn in Trouble. H. H. Wilburn, the Negro Democratic preacher of the 15th ward, is at last behind the bars. He was arrested for stealing furniture last Tuesday by Detective Gordon. The Palladium told this fellow that he would be in jail soon, and though we did not get him, he is there just the same. the long war. Barton was a captain in the confederate army and was held in high esteem by his superiors and loved by the brave Texans he led. "He now lives at Del Rio, in Western Texas, where he owns one of the HE FIRED THE LAST SHOT. most desirable small ranches in the state and considerable town property. Capt. Barton is sure that he fired the last shot at the close of the last battle of the civil war, and I believe him, for he is a perfectly truthful man and would not misrepresent a matter of that kind in the least, not even to have his fame spread over 40 pages of history. "The story of that last battle, which was fought on the 13th of May, 1865, after the war was ended and peace was declared, has escaped the attention that it merits, for it was an affair or no little importance. Gen. Egbert Brown, who recently died at West Plains, Mo., was in command of the federal troops in southern Texas, and he was doubtless well informed concerning the termination of hostilities. Gen. J. E. Slaughter, who commanded the confederate troops encamped at Brazos Santiago, had heard rumors of the surrender of the armies commanded by Lee, Profitable.

King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-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.
