Devall of 4307 N. Market is quite ill. Mrs. M. C. Whitler is seemingly in good health, but is looking after many wounds. If She does not rest she will soon collapse. Mr. George Long who has the Negro Jefferson Club in charge, is making it up or get out. Mrs. Malinda Howard of 2235 Cass Street, has been sick for the past six weeks. She is yet very ill and her daughter is much concerned about her. She is sixty years of age. Mrs. J. Hynes of 1920 Wash St. is all combined to her bed. She has been back for quite a while. Her daughter. Miss Hadie is her nurse. Mrs. J. J. Williams of 715 N. 22nd is up again after a long illness. Miss Berrie Weatherford is in Kirk- wood and she is the belle of that village.

He is making and mending shoes for all at 2626 Morgan Street. Miss Amie Cohen is quite a ping- pong player. She resides at 2716-I-2 Wash Street. A GOOD HUSBAND: A certain cook has sent his wife $60. She is a good subscriber for the Palladium. This speaks well for the cook and much better for the wife. She can see the Palladium man and give her loving daughter a nice present for Easter Sunday. Mrs. Emma Farie of 1922 Wash St. has just returned from Springsfield, Ill. where she has spent a short while. She purchased a fine five room house while there and rented it immediately. She will remain in St. Louis until after the World's Fair, then return to Springfield. As the Palladium man turned the corner of 10th and Morgan, he saw a roll of green-backs lying on the street. At the same moment, two white men were just in front and sped the roll of bills before the Palladium man could get to them. Some one has lost it and some wife or daughter was without money last Saturday night. So the wife or mother will not believe the man who says he lost it. Rolls of green-backs are not thrown on the street every day, so whoever lost the bills can say the Palladium man saw the men pick them up and if they had not, the Palladium man would have saved them the trouble.

BASKET BALL The rough and tumble fight between the young lady members of two of the most prominent basket-ball teams of Saginaw, Mich., brings the game again before the public for condemnation. The act that the young colored girls of our city persist in aping the opposite race in this respect, renders the above incident of double interest to us. The premeditated determination of two opposing teams to win the ensuing game renders accidents unavoidable. That young ladies of refinement should indulge in such rough actions seems wary inconsistents with the teachings of culture. Most of our young lady members of basket-ball teams have been well raised at home and are instinctively repelled when brought in contact with the rougher element of our race. Yet the effect of years of careful training, is almost instantly eradicated by their participation in this game. While some of the captains of various teams contend that they do not permit roughness during the game, it is obvious that they simply wish to prevent its condemnation. Furnished room for rent to men. Hrooms comfortably furnished; with or without board; at 2336 Wash street; second and third floors. T.T. Thompson.

"JIM CROW" BILL DEFEATED BY A VOTE OF 55 TO 70 Measure Solidly Opposed by Republi- cans—Paternity of Bill Established by Ing. Jefferson City, Mo., March 11.—The House took up the Jim Crow railroad bill as special order at 10 o'clock. The first matter presented was the following resolution by Mr. Ing of Wayne, which was declared adopted by Speaker Whitecotton, amid much aplause: "Whereas, There exists in the minds of many people grave doob as to the parentage of one 'Jim Crow,' sometimes called House Bill No. 8, and "Whereas, It is very important that the paternity of this promising youth, as well as that of every other, be definitely known and established; therefore, be it "Resolved, That it is the sense and judgment of this house that the Hon. Alonzo B. Williams of Scott County, is the father of said 'Jim Crow', and the Hon. John Perile Crisp of Jackson County, is his stepfather, and that the said 'Jim Crow' is the joint heir of both and entitled to all the rights and privileges of such heir." Williams opened the debate in support of the bill. Murphy of St. Louis asked him if he thought a "negro" had a soul, Williams said the question was not germal to the subject. Heinmiller of Newton answered for Williams and said "a negro is simply an Irishman turned wrong side out." All kinds of petitions for and against the bill were presented from all parts of the State. In a letter from J. W. McClure of Sedalla, presented by Mr. Bothwell, the following appeared: "In my judgment the members would be more humanely engaged were they trying to do something that might in some measure explicate the damnable crime of slavery for which they and their ancestors were as guilty as hell. For 250 years the poor negro was his backlog in winter and shade tree in the summer, and now to enact any law that would further wound their hearts and bring humiliation upon them is something so unkind that, if I was in your place, I would suffer myself paralyzed from the top of my head to the soles of my feet before I would do it." Crisp and Gillespy spoke for the bill and O'Fallon against it. At 12 o'clock the roll was called, and the bill defeated by a vote of 55 to 70, amid loud cheering by the large crowd of visitors present to see final action on the bill. All Republicans voted against the bill. While some Democrats voted for the bill. Bishop Overlooked Color and Changed His Plan. Lo sAngeles, Cal., March 9. — Bishop Joseph H. Johnson and the Episcopal clergy of this diocese have been thrown into something like consternation by the arrival here of Rev. George S. Brown of Philadelphia. Mr. Brown had written to the bishop, asking for an appointment here. The bishop was well impressed by his letters and decided to give him a chance at Lompoco, San Bernardino county. But he will not minister to that parish, for the reason that he is a colored man. He says he mentioned in his correspondence that he is colored, but this was overlooked by the bishop. Mr. Lee, a Pullman porter is quite frequently in the vicinity of Jefferson and Lawton. There's a widow who doesn't live three blocks from the Palladium office. A marriage will soon follow. Negro Pastor White Church Was Borned a Slave in Hampton, Va and Aided by Henry Ward Boston, Mass., Feb. 21. — Rev. P. Thomas Stanford, A. M. MD., DD., LLD., a Boston Negro, has just re-received a call to the pastorate of the Wilberforce Memorial church of Birmingham, England. which has an entire white congregation. Stanford has not yet excepted the call, but has written urging the church to take a white man because he believes a colored man able to preside over that church can find more useful employment among his own race in America. Stanford was born a slave in Hampton, Va., in 1860 and as a student he had the help of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and Harriett Beecher Stowe. In 1883 he went to England and graduated with honors in law and theology and medicine. He has been engaged several years in home missionary work among Boston colored people. Mrs. S. E. Willimms, sister-in-law of Mrs. W. B. Williams of 2307 Pine St., has just returned home from Hot Springs, where she has spent three months. She is the picture of health. 1 2601 0107109930 A 05X8203 877 MR. AND MRS. W. B. WILLIAMS. My God, while journeying to Canaan's land, For peace I do not pray. Nor seek beneath thy sheltering sweetness, Lord; To rest each circling day. I cry to thee for strength to struggle on, But do not ask that smooth the way may be; Sufficient for thy servant 'tis to knew, That earth's bleak desert ends at last with thee. I do not ask for living friends to wander by my side, Or that my hand should feel an angel's touch, a guardian and a guide; But Israel's God, do thou go on before an ever present beacon in the way, A fiery pillow in dark sorrow's night a cloudy column in my prosperous day. I do not ask, O Master Dear, to lean my head upon thy breast, Nor seek within thy circling arms an ever present rest; I beg from thee that crown of prickly thorns, that thy sacred forehead rudely fore. And I will press those crimson brambles close to my heart, and ask from thee no more. But then at length my scorched and weary feet Shall reach their journey's end. And I have gained a longed-for promised land Where milk and honey blend. Then give me rest and food and drink, dear Lord, For then another pilgrim will have past As thou didst, o'er the water of barren land, From Egypt into Canaan, safe at last. THREE UNIONS MEETING. Report of the meeting of the three unions at the Antioch Baptist Church, Sunday evening, March 1. According to the agreement that was made at the last meeting of the three unions which was held at the First Baptist Church on the second Sunday in last December, 1902, the unions of the First and Fifth Baptist Churches met with the union of Antioch Baptist Church last Sunday evening, at 6:30. The president, James O. Edwards of said church was present. The meeting was opened by singing "Come to Jesus Just. Now." After which prayer was offered by Brother Collins; then another song, after which the president made some remarks relative to the dereliction of the chairman of the program committee in failing to notify the members of the meeting. After that was settled then the literary part of the program was taken up. There were a few members present, who took part, from each union. After this was over Miss M. B. Tyler, president of the union of the First Baptist Church, motioned that the present committee that was appointed last year be retained. It was seconded but before the motion prevailed there was an objection raised by the ex-president of Antioch Church, but that was soon overcome and the present committee was appointed for the next quarter or to the first Sunday in June, when the three unions meet again at the Fifth Baptist Church in Rock Springs. The meeting adjourned to meet at the above place, subject to the notice of the committee. I am pleased to say that the union of the First Baptist Church was treated royally. Those of the First Baptist Union that were present were Miss M. B. Tyler, Madam Katie L. Boswell, Miss Salille M. Wright, Miss Goddon, Mr. Jas. S. Williams, Mr. Perry Louis, Mr. Joseph Neighbors, May May Bryant and Bro. Thomas Webb; all of whom had a pleasant time. REMOVED. Mr. Sanford Warfield, who formerly owned a barber shop at 803 N. Jefferson Ave. is now at 729 Beamont St. Give him a call. First-class work in the barber-line. REST! REST! O death! I reach my hands to thee Sweet Angel of release! Pass but thy wand across my brow 'Twill bring me rest and peace. ALAS! Thus once in weak despair I cried So fierce the battle pressed Fain doft my armour and lie down, To silent, dreamless rest. IN VAIN. Death heeded not my outstretched hands, Nor heard my frenzied call; But One whose tender pitying love Had known and felt it all. ALL! ALL! The wild unrest, the ceaseless strife, The cruel ache and smart, Come, mother-like, drew my tired head Close to His loying heart. And now In heavenly arms at rest I lie, Content, and glad and still— Joy to know at last, that rest Is to accept His will. How can I question more or yield To doubts and fears again? The rest I thought I ne'er could reach Is mine, O. Sons of Men! BLACK EDITOR GETS DAMAGE. Dr. H. T. Johnson, editor of the Christian Record, was awarded a judgement of $500 in the United States Circuit Court at Trenton, against the Pullman Car Company, because of the refusal of the superintendent of a dining car to serve him his breakfast while travelng in Virginia last March. Judge Kirkpatrick is reported to have instructed the jury that the question was purely one fact. That if the plaintiff's breakfast was refused because he was black, it was their duty to find a verdict for him. The case is notable as one of the tew instances in which color has played any part in the Pullman service, and we trust that it will be the last occasion requiring legal proceedings to secure the comforts generally available for passengers of the race in the cars of the Pullman Company.—New York Age. TUSKÉQEE INSTITUTE NOTES. Mr. G. W. Nrost and wife, of Milwaukee, Wis., spent two days at the School last week. All of the departments of the School were visited, and Mr. Frost spoke to the students in the Chapel. This talk was helpful and encouraging. The trades of the the young men are housed in the Armstrong Memorial Trades building. The new Saw Mill is also completed, and preparations are being made to move the machinery from the old Saw Mill to the new one. Monday Feb., was a red letter day at Tuskegee, Mr. Francis J. Garrisson, son of Wm. Floyd Garrisson, spent the day at Tuskegee. It was indeed a treat to the students to have a speech from the son of such an illustrious man—Robert Wallace. THAT OLD BLACK MAN. Every Negro in the State of Missouri should now be a better Republican than ever before. We are indebted to them for the defeat of the bill known as the Jim Crow Car Bill No. 8. There might be some excuse for a pimp or a rounder to act with the Democratic party, but when an old nigger like J. D. Miller, who is sixty years of age, who says he is a Democrat, ought to be burned at the stake. We are thankful that some good Democrats voted against the Jim Crow Bill, but we would like to see any Negro who can support a white Democrat from principle. But this Old Black Man is a poor excuse to attempt to advise people to vote with the Democrats. God save the Negro race from an old negro who has stripes on his back, trying to advise the people of St. Louis to split their vote. Let the Negro Democrat, Jefferson Club and all such go way back and sit down. THE PALLADIUM. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY Entered at the postoffice at St. Louis, Mo., as second-class matter.

FOR INSPECTOR WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. The Jim Crow Car Bill has been knocked into the head, Missouri will never suffer the disgrace of drawing the color line as far as coaches and street cars are conceded. The fears which have arisen in the hearts of many of our race have been lulled to rest. Wefel that we are immensely indebted to our able representatives of our city, who suspended all business affairs to wenp their way to Jefferson City, for the purpose of influencing the members of the legislature to disapprove of the bill. Mr. J. W. McClure of Sedalia, Mo., who so enthusiastically defended the Negro Race in a letter to one of the members of the House, is also deserving of great praise. We feel that his words of cheer will be highly appreciated by all who read them. The National Review of Peoria, a new paper just entering the journalistic field, comes to our desk. Mr. Forrest Cozart, is the managing editor. From the paper received we should judge a prosperous future for the paper. A FREAK. We have a paper half-patent published by an old black man called, J. D. Miller, a Democratic fellow who advises the Negroes to vote the Democratic ticket. What we cannot understand is, how can a negro man, women or child read that dirty two faced sheet in the face of the attempted Jim-Crow Car bill. Crisp, Williams and Miller of St. Louis ought to be immortalized into devilment and damnable tricks. Next week we will pay our respects to that little grafting sheet known as the Censor, also those immaculate vipers of Andy's nest. The Baumhoff Case. Much Talk and Writing has been Done in the Baumhoff Post-Office Case. The Palladium took its part until it had studied the case and men connected with it. We at once conceived that a vile conspiracy was on foot to blacken the character of the Post-Master. We engaged a detective to look into the case and were awarded in due time by the uncovering of the deepest and most diabolical scheme ever laid, with Andy McGrew as chairman. We are sorry indeed that two of our friends were implicated in the drag net. We have the names of all the five and there are still two others that may yet be called on to explain their connection with the matter. Other daily and weekly papers in St. Louis did not stick to the case, but Palladium persevered. We sent weekly about fifty copies of the Palladium to Washington, D. C. The parties in Washington were convinced that there was a deep scheme laid by Andy McGrew, W. Howard and others. Mr. Foulke was sent here, and in the investigation which followed, he found what the Palladium had uncovered to be true. As we have often said; "Your sins will find you out. The Ax Descending. The Ax of Justice is already speeding on its mission amid the scandal-mongering conspirators in the Postoffice, John J. Tatum, the "Public Motive Man," has recently been beheaded. Tatum received his retiring papers only a few days ago. Andy should go next. Watch our predictions in this matter. We shall not vary from our course. Andy McGrew must go for the sake of good morals and governmental welfare. The Stamp Window Man. Six months from to-day the man at the stamp windoW won't be aiding in correcting the morals of his superiors or contributing to McGrew's slush fund. Men like this stam window fellow who are chased and shot at about other men's wives are hardly the kind of elites to remodel the character of their superiors. POINTERS. Five clerks in the post-office will soon be working for street and walker. Jim Crow Car Bill has gone up the great beyond where Crisp, Williams and Miller, the Eagle man, will follow. John A. Lodge met last Wednesday and paid their assessments, rent and taxes in part, U. B. F. No word from the Grand-Master of the State. Why doesn't he say something to the U. B. F, and S. M. T. NOTICE. On the first of April we will publish the names of those persons who will not pay us for the paper. We will not do like the Eagle man, brand all to get at a few dead-heads. Watch for the list. J. W. WHEELER, Manager. Next month the Democratic Party will need the Negre to help them win. It is well that the Jefferson Club and other rounders should know what that Party has done for the Negro in this city. When the Party went into power they aimed to strip the "Negro of everything that looked like a respectable position. They have taken the Negro Sergeant - At - Arms from the Council and the House of Delegates. They have taken the Negro out of the Mayors Office; they have taken the Negro inspector on Street Overseer, They have taken the Negro clerk out of the Circuit Clerks Office, They have removed several Negro Janitors and put white men in their places. They have reduced the Janitors salary from $60 to $55 per month. They established a Negro Democratic Club in St. Louis and paid rent for it; for so-called "Negro Democrats, which is an insult, to every respectable Negro. They have, through their leader-ship fought step by step all the rights of the respectable Negro. These and many others are reasons, why the white Democrats want the Jim-Crow Negro, and the Jefferson Club to vote for the Party in the coming election. THE MISSOURI NEGRO REPUBLI- CAN LEAGUE CLUB. Probaly the most magnificent quarters ever established in the form of a club have been fitted up by the Missouri Negro Republican League Club. The above named institution has arranged beyond a doubt, at 2349 Lawton avenue, the most elegant quarters in the city, and for that matter in America. The Club house contains eight beautiful rooms all newly decorated and handsomely finished, luxurious and expensive paintings bedeck the walls and the floors are covered by the most costly rugs A heavy oak, marble topped sideboard, eight feet in length, does service in the buffet, and the choiceest wines and liquors are served to Club members Mr. Harry Arnold is in charge of the new club. LANDERS CO. The B. Y. P. U. of the First Baptist Church met in regular weekly meeting at 6 p. m., with Miss M. B. Tyler, its president, presiding. The meeting was opened by singing song No. 6, and prayer was offered by Brother Thomas Webb, then song No. 20 was sung, and the lesson taken up which was found in Matthew 5th Chapter, 20th to 48th verse; 6th chapter, 16th to 18th verse. The lesson was conducted by Mrs. Annie R. Davis and was discussed by several of the members. Next came the report of the joint meeting of the First Baptist Church, Fifth Baptist Church and the Antioch Baptist Church, which met at the LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. Regent Harris made a brief trip to Lincoln institute Sunday last. The following from the "Jefferson City Tribune" of March 6 is a brief account of a recent visit made by some of Missouri's law-makers who are particularly interested in the appropriation bill, the welfare of Lincoln institute and of the development of the Negro. They took lunch with the students and on going to the Auditorium their expressions against the separate Coach Bill, and along other lines were spicy and to the point. The boys who were arrested for grand larceny last week were dismissed, no sufficient charge against them having been sustained. President Allen is receiving each day letters from different parts of the State from patrons and friends of the school commending him for the unusual success of the institute under his administration. The concert for the benefit of the boy's reception room was a complete success both from a literary and a financial point of view. The work of the second term has just closed and the examinations were satisfactory to both the teachers and the taught. Every day members of the Legislature and their wives visit the school and express themselves as being highly pleased with the work done. Teachers and students of the past, and of the present, were much pleased to read the very interesting and commendable letter, written by Mr. A. M. Schweich, which appeared in a recent issue of the "Enterprise." His thought of a reunion is a happy one, and Mr. Schweich,—a most loyal patron of the institute,—can rest assured that he and all former students will be royally welcomed during commencement, or whenever they may choose to come, by President Allen and his faculty. Mr. Bell, of Fulton, visited his daughter, Miss Eunice, this week and made a careful inspection of the grounds and buildings. Mr. Bell was one of the older students of the institute, but found not one building remaining on the campus that was here when he was a student. In those days the boys slept in what was termed "the barracks," and as he slowly went through each room in the new steam-heated dormitory with its cheerful, well lighted, well ventilated room, arranged in every respect for the comfort of the boys, he was almost moved to tears. To each boy in turn he gave some wholesome advice, and spoke again and again of the happy look on the faces of all the students in both dormitories, or wherever he chanced to meet them The benefit concert given under the supervision of Professors Yates and Reynolds, proceeds for furnishing certain portions of the young men's dormitory, was a great success financially and otherwise. President Allen presided and made the address of the evening. One very unique feature of the entertainment was the unexpected presentation of two United States flags of great historic interest by one of the best Anglo-Saxon friends of the institute, the Hon. J. E. Crumbaugh of Columbia. President Allen received the flags in behalf of the regents, faculty and students, in very appropriate remarks. ```markdown ``` Antioch Church on Sunday, March 1. After that was received the literary program was taken up. First on the program was an address by Rev. Wm. Pierce, and then a recitation by Miss Ivern Hampton. At which a collection was taken, and the benediction by the pastor, Rev. E. C. Cole. MISS M. B. TYLER, President. MRS. ANNIE R. DAVIS, Vice President. MISS ZENOBIA BROWN, Secretary. A. W. WASHINGTON, Assistant Secretary. "Dear Miss Sweetness," wrote the young editor, "I find it impossible to tell you by word of mouth what I have been longing for months to say. My palsied tongue refuses to do the bidding of my will when I am in your presence. I am under the necessity, therefore, of writing to you to tell you how inexpressibly dear to me you have become, and to ask if you will consent to be my wife. In replying please be brief, omit the discussion of unimportant topics and write only on one side of the sheet."—N. Y. Herald. Such Is Life.
