The Palladium

THE PALLADIUM. The Palladium wants 1,000 more subscribers in the next six months. The Palladium wants ads. Cast of Actors in "Social Glass," the $1,000 Drama to be Given for the Benefit of the Y. M. C. A., at 14th Street Theater, April 27th. Vol. XIX. No.18. Cast of Actors in "Soci Benefit of the Y. The struggle of the Young Men's Christian Association to pay for their beautiful building, located at 2633 Lucas avenue, is to be given a, substantial boost by a number of public-spirited citizens who have volunteered their services for the benefit of the Building Fund of the Association which is very much in need of replenishment. THE PALLADIUM Notes and News Concerning Our People--Weekly Record of Social Events, Deaths, Marriages and Births--Written Especially for Palladium Readers. The two little children Gertrude Mahoney and Celia Bruner, of 2836 Bell avenue, are typical little angels.

W. Grant, at 14th Street Theater, Monday, April 27th. "The Social Glass," a strong moral drama, will be produced by a company of distinguished amateurs. Among the members of the cast are: Capt. C. H. Tandy has just returned from Oklahoma or Gustried. He is much improved in health. Miss Vera Henderson, of 2605 Lefflingwell avenue, has just returned from an extensive visit to relatives and friends. She is the picture of health. Dr. W P. T. Jones, of 2231 Market street, recently purchased a home on Cottage avenue, west of Taylor avenue, into which he will soon move. Dr. Jones is the oldest colored doctor in this city and stands at the head of his profession. He has quite an extensive practice. He is not only a doctor of medicine but also an able divine. Mrs. Pearl Grant, of 2205 Morgan street, presented her husband with a bonning boy. The mother and baby are doing well. Mrs. Grant is the daughter of Mrs. Clay, of 2223 Lucas avenue. The old lady is as proud as if it was her baby. Well we know what good the grand mother makes, but save us from a mother-in-law Mrs. Henry Fields, of 2421 Fall avenue, gave a lovely reception in honor of Mr. Montgomery, of Dallas, Texas, who is visiting her daughter, Mrs. N. B. Brock, of 3920 Fairfax avenue. The reception was a most charming affair. Mrs. J. Oswald, sister-in-law to Mrs. Fields, assisted the hostess. Among the guests were: Mrs. Jorden, N. B. Brock Ch. Ming, S Mowron, Wm. Overton, W Williams, Mrs. A. Steverser, B. Farmer, Miss Lucy Overton and Miss Lilian Fields. We would call a halt on a certain school teacher who lives on the corner of North Market and Twenty second streets, who is accustomed to use worse language than there is in the Devil's vocabulary. We would say to her, "Keep cool and let your neighbors alone or we will call your name." John W Wheeler, the nephew of the Palladium man, has returned home. It has been quite seven years since he has been in our city. He returns as an accomplished pianist, writer and composer A fine place of resort is 1911 Market street, where you can get either an "eye-opener" or a "night-cap" Hugh B.

Inquiry as to the harmonic condition of the 10th Congressional district from various quarters, compels the Palladium, as a public organ, to furnish the people and voters solid facts as they appear before us. For months the white and colored voters of the 10th district have been anything but elated over the efforts of Mr. Bartholdt, but we have refrained until the present time from speaking against the South Side Congressman, in hopes that differences might be remedied and all set right. There seems to be no immediate hope, however, that Mr. Bartholdt will ever again share the close confidence and warm feelings of the voters of the 10th district. Our Herr Bartholdt seems to have a penchant for making promises with no intention of meeting the same; in other words, he seems to be trying to blow hot and cold at the same time. Promises and smooth talk are not the only weak places in Mr. Bartholdt's fences; he has permitted his brother-in-law, Geo. Beirman, to set up a "Patronage Brokers' Machine" in the St. Louis Custom House, and it is actually impossible for any individual to secure an appointment without the endorsement of this man Beirman. Mr. Bartholdt has the power and can do, but he relies upon smooth talk and oily promises to advance his interests. The public is perceptibly tired of such methods and Mr. Bartholdt's future advances a serious question —? The Palladium insists that the man Beirman take a back seat, f r we are unable to see his usefulness in the dispensing of federal patronage. Patronage has caused the political demise of many a promising light, and Mr. Bartholdt, from his present indicatory course, can hardly hope to escape the fate of his predecess rs. Ability does not constitute fairness, and on this one point our Mr. Bartholdt is extremely deficient. Th German voers are far from chanting the praises of the South Side Congressman, and it is safe to predict that his future will suggest an abun-ance of surprises —? In the words of Liacoln, "You may fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all the time." Nepotism and popularity never go hand-in-hand. So watch the columns of the Palladium. THE CENSOR. The Carrion Bird of Journalism. The Palladium seidom descends to common things, and sorely, indeed, do we regret the fact that we are called by circumstances to counteract the sayings of the filthy little Censor, edited by that renowned grafter, newspaper-journalistic harlot, Dyer. Long, indeed, has the public stood the bickering, slanderous blackmailing process of this man. Any individual who may, by chance, irritate or ruffle the feeling of this man Dyer, at once become the object of public ridicule, and is subjected to such abuse as only Dyer and his harlotic sheet can administer. When President Roosevelt first took the oath of office, Dyer and the Censor were lou in praise for him, but such men as Dyer do not find favor with decent people, hence his present tirade against the President. Although the Negro has never, to our knowledge, committed one acc against Dyer, he seems to take much delight in airing his debased opinion on the Negro question. Decent Negroes have no respect for or pay no notice to such common products of the Anglo-Saxon race as Dyer. This man is a degenerate and a political nuisance, willing to serve any and all, so long as spoils are in sight; but fail him in the distribution of the goods, and he turns like a lien on his prey. To-day he admires, to-morrow he attacks with distraction in sight. The consideration of financial gain being sufficient to turn him like a dog to his vomit. Such men are not relished in any community and their riddance is welcomed by all decent people. Don't forget Teress, the Florist, 1308 Olive street, the best in the city. The Palladium wants ads. If our true friends wish to assist us, they will secure ads., for us. G. K. Among the visitors to the school this week were Dr. D. K. Pearson, the millionaire philanthropist and his wife, of Chicago, and Dr. F. G. Jordan, of the Baptist Foreign Missions Board. C.F. HOLLAND 2693 MARKE DR, ARTHUR, The Leading Doctor in Brooklyn, Ill. UNDER A MOUND OF FLOWERS. Mrs. William H. Owens Was Laid to Rest at Troy, Mo. Mrs. William H. Owens, the beloved wife of William H. Owens, a clerk in the St Louis postoffice, who died last Thur day morning at her home, 6108 Colorado avenue, was buried at Troy, Mo., last Sunday. Her funeral was preached in the Methodist Episcopal Church and her remains were laid to rest in the Lincoln Hill Cemetery along side of those of her mother. Mrs. Owens was born in Troy, Mo., March 21, 1881, and died April 9, 1903. She leaves a husband, a little son, two sisters, a brother and many friends to mourn her loss. NOTICE. From the 27th of April all who wish to call: at the office will find either the Palladium man or or someone who will answer in his place in all matters perto the Palladium. J. W. WHEELER, Manager. Bishop Walters. Last Sunday the Christians of Big Zion Church assembled in full to hear the Easter sermon of Bishop Walters. The Bishop is one of the foremost men among American divines. He preached to one of the largest congregation that ever assembled in any church. We believe the Bishop has given his entire mind and interest to the welfare of his race. Would that there were more such men devoted to God and humanity! $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 6 cents. ix months. T. WASHINGTON. Dr. Jordan made quite an interesting talk to the students in the channel. The school has just received $10,000, a legacy from the estate of the late Jas. H. Danforth, of Boston. POPULY, WALLACE Rey. J. H. Jarrett. Rev. J. H. Jarrett, formerly pastor of Mount Olive Baptist Church, was buried from First Baptist Church last Sunday. Never since the death of Rev. Cartwright has there been such an assembly of people to pay the last tribute to this famous divine. Long before the arrival of the funeral procession, every approach to the church was blocked. Rev. E. C. Cole, Rev. Muse and Rev. Rucks conducted the funeral services. The floral offerings were plenteous and beautiful. The pall-bearers were Rev. J. Williams, M. Wriight, J. Jones, Windemer, O. Neal, G. E. Brown. Thus passes into the unknown beyond a man who had been made famous by his good work for God and his church. May he rest in peace. "She Desires to Repay Her Father for His Kindness Miss Elizabeth Jackson (Directress of Banneker School) is desirous of having her father give up his position and allow her to take care of him during his declining days. She appreciates his kindness to her when she was young, she having been left without a mother for him to care for, and is willing and ready to assist him. The majority of our girls soon forget their parents after the/ begin to teach, and we only wish St. Louis had a few more young ladies like Miss Jackson.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT The American Eagle is now on the right side and we hope she may flutter forever. President Roosevelt does not desire to hunt Mount Loufs; he is looking for bigger game. Nomination. Gen. Frank D. Baldwin perfer the Negro as soldier he says, because he is not worried if he is killed or not. "There is nothing more to it," he added in explanation of this. "If a person owned a thoroughbred or fullblood dog and also a cur, is it not natural that he would prefer the cur killed before the others?" We think that if this General had been in the place of Col. Roosevelt at Sylonie, in Cuba, he, too, would have had more respect for Negro troops than to call them curs. Gen. Baldwin is a disgrace to the American army. He calls brave soldiers curs, when we never heard of anything brave that the General has done. If General Baldwin should be sent to the Department of the Gulf, perhaps he would become a Southern hero by the Lynch law. Two of St. Louis colored reached the age of 100 before death. What colored man will be the General of a Department when Gen. Baldwin's sons and grandsons will be called curs on account of their color? We are glad to have in the Republi can party one J. D. Miller, and we hope that in his coming back to the old land marks will be the cause of many another doing likewise. We believe this to be a wise act and only hope that all will prove faithful to the old party once again. The Palladium is now the leading Negro paper in St. Louis and soon promises to be not only the leading Negro paper in the State but in the United states. Under our Managing Editor, Miss Kate Johnson, we are rapidly improving. Our entire staff is to be changed, and we have an entire new set of Reporters who will endeavor to make the paper interesting. Our new staff is as follows: J. W. Wheeler, Proprietor and Business Manager; Miss Kate Johnson, Managing Editor; Mr. Will D. McKoin, City Editor; Miss Anna O. Parram, Society Editor; Mr. James Huston, Religious Editor; Mr. J. Myron Crawford, Sporting Editor; Mr. James Hayes, Chief Editorial Department. The Editor's Afterthoughts. Who are the Black in Jefferson City alum case? Folk can't find them. The Negro press of the South will soon learn to speak out bold, providing that Roosevelt is nominated for the Presidency. A white was arrested for an assault on a poor, helpless colored girl in Parks, Tex. Why not lynch him? The Negro is the prettiest nation under the sun. They are like flower gardens. You find them in all colors. A DISGRACE:—There are a number of girls who come home from school and the first thing they do is to go to the grocery or butcher shops and stand and gab with the men in charge. The mother of these girls ought to be careful, before it is too late. A colored girl should maintain her dignity in her dealings with men in various stores. "Familiarity breeds contempt." We further add that after school hours these girls further disgrace themselves and we have come to the conclusion that their parents should know about it. Heads! Heads!! Heads!!! One of the surest indications of the approach of summer is the almost inestimable number of heads of women of our race, seen poked out of windows. It seems as if our people delight in sunning themselves, for the least ray of sunlight calls forth heads of from every crack and cranny. Head with braids; heads with natural curls; heads with artificial curls; heads with bows of ribbon; heads with shoes-strings; heads with hair that floats; heads with "hum" that never floats; and so on, ad infinitum. It is a very bad habit and one which should be remedied immediately. Remember Lawton avenue is going to be a public boulevard and to guarantee our safety on that street, for God's sake keep those heads in. Rents are going up and if there are many more of that variety of heads poked out of windows, it will take another scoot upwards. SPORTING NEWS. The Williams & Walker Co. will make a tour of Europe and other foreign countries in the near future. Mr. Jos. G. Morrison, of Chicago, formerly of St. Louis, will be in the city on dedication day. Miss Lalerta Mae Smith, of Sedalia, Mo., is one of Fisk University's greatest tennis players. Quite a number of our young girls are taking an interest in the National League Base Ball games. Mr. John Weathers who, with Thos. R Crawford, won fame at Sumner High School in the balmy days of base ball, lost his beloved mother last week. A Coal ard. Mr. John Fitzhugh, of 2354 Chestnut street, has opened a coal yard. Mr. Fitzhugh's legs were broken at the Century building. May 30, 1902. He has been confined to his home for eleven months. He is able to get about and has opened a coal yard. We trust that the good people will help a worthy at 2354 Chestnut street. Easter Offering. The L. H. C. Club sent a large quantity of choice fruit to the Provident Hospital as an Easter offering. The club is doing a great deal in the way of sweet charity although young in organization. May the blessings of Heaven rest upon the entire membership. REMOVED. Mr. Sanford Warfield, who formerly owned a Barber Shop at 803 North Jefferson avenue, is now at 729 Beaumont street. Give him a call. First-class work in the barber line. [Name] A. W. WASHINGTON, Reporter. First Baptist Church Notes. The choir of the First Baptist Church rendered an excellent musical program Easter Sunday night. It was the best that has ever been given at that church. All the members acquitted themselves favorably. Quite an interesting discussion came up at a meeting of the B. Y. P. U. of the First Baptist Church as to whether or not Mary or Martha believed that Jesus was the resurrection. Quite a number took part in the discussion and Madam Lizzie Lyons proved to be the reigning orator of the hour. Mrs. Pauline Jones, of Bunker Hill, Ill., formerly of this city, attended First Baptist Church Sunday in company with Mrs. Lizzie Harris. The B. Y. P. U. held its weekly meeting at First Baptist Church at 5:30 p. m., last Monday. After the Scripture lesson was read a collection was taken up which amounted to $1.47. Juvenile Goods.

News From Kentucky, the Mother State of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. This has been a very prosperous and important year with the order. Many lodges, temples and juveniles have been added to our roll. Knights of Friendship have increased in numbers, new camps have been organized, and old ones strengthened. Hence they look forward to the assemblage of St. Louis, Mo., as one of the greatest outpouring of its history. The meeting of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky was d very interesting one. It closed the five years administration of Grand Master C. H. Tandy, who was successful in holding the forces together and to his credit be it said, succeeded in paying off the last dollar of the Widow and Orphans Home—$6,000—232 acres. Now that the property is paid for the Board of Manages will, without doubt, improve the premises as fast as occasion requires. The Ladies' Auxiliary composed of the various temples of Louisville, had a beautiful bridge built across the stream that flows through the farm. All over the State lodges and temples are building halls and acquiring real estate. In the city of Danville where Grand Lodge was held, a new hall was erected and dedicated for the afting of the grand body, furnished and completed in the latest style architecture. A Mutal Aid Association was organized at this session. The Lodges and Temples are taking out Polices, and in a short time, will have a large enrollment. The Grand Lodge of Kentucky will not hold her annual session this year, in order that the Lodge and Temples may be largely represented by delegations at St. Louis in July next. The Lodges and Temples of the city of Louisville contemplate rebuilding a more commodious hall. In order to do so they have purchased the adjoining property at two thousand three hundred dollars. The new hall will cost about $20,000. Yours in J. M. S., W. H. G. M Miss L. Austin. of 2012 Market Street, has opened a Dyeing Establishment. She dyes Men's and Ladies' Clothes perfectly.

The new, non-failing and infallible combined treatment for the human Hair, OZONO and CEDROLINE, uses the Hair length, hostre, life, and beauty. One year ago the directors of the BOSTON HEMICAL CO., with the sole purpose and intention to produce an absolutely perfect and reliable treatment for the Hair, appropriated the technique and 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 innocent, that its immediate effects upon the Hair grow long and invulnerable, straight, and of a most delicate and pliable texture, making it easy to dress the Hair in any style desired. It causes 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 splitting at the same time. This great combined treatment is now the most wonderful remedy for the Hair. Magnetic Comb and Brushes, Per fumes, Skin Food, Electrical Skin Refiner, The King of All Hair Tonics.

"It is apparently an absolute impossibility for a man to make a perfect counterfeit coin or note," said William P. Hazen, formerly chief of the United States secret service, in a conversation a few days ago. "It is certain," he continued, "that a perfect counterfeit has never been made and, strange as it may appear, with all the will and endearance in the world the counterfeiters seem to be wholly unable to complete a perfect job, although they may get many details of the bill or coin to absolute perfection. "Some strange power appears to get possession of these criminals at a crucial moment in their fraudulent work and to render their art vain. The real reason for this I have never been able to fathom. "It may be psychic. You may smile —some people will—but the criminals themselves, so far as I have ever talked with them on the subject after we have captured them, have indicated to me that they believe that it is a conscience which balks them." During his term at the head of the secret service Mr. Hazen had a large experience with counterfeiters, the record of captures for those years being a longer one than later times have shown. Having noted that all counterfeiters were defective in some particular he made inquiries as to the reason of this. It is not, by the way, always by reason of a defect that a counterfeit is detected. Sometimes suspicion is raised merely by an indefinable feeling on the part of a treasury or bank employee that a bill or coin does not look or feel just right, and then examination discloses the fatal error in the bogus money. "Even the most expert engravers," Mr. Hazen said, "and it of course is known that some of the best have gone into the counterfeiting business, cannot turn out in their counterfeit work the perfect results which they can readily get in legitimate work. With counterfeit bonds it is the same as with notes and coins. "One of the most remarkable cases occurred with counterfeiting of the old United States 7-30s by the notorious Brockway-Smith gang. One of the members of the gang got his freedom by offering to go to Washington and pick out the spurious from the good bonds, for the government experts themselves could not do it at first. He was Charles Ulrich, who is straight now, one of the few of whom that can be said. "He said that at some point or other conscience was sure to prevent him from making a perfect job at crooked work. The only error in those bond plates was in the lathe work border. Up in one corner this border in the counterfeit was not uniform in its lines. "Thomas Johnson, now dead, who made the counterfeit Windom $2 notes, had a curious experience with his plates. He made five plates, each one wrong in some minor particular. In one plate the error was in the right eye, which was so drawn that it gave the portrait the appearance on close examination of being cross-eyed. "He said that when he was making that part of the plate he was frightened by some noise, a thing that would not have bothered him in the least he was at honest work, as he was an expert engraver. Had it not been for this error the plate would have been a finer one than the government plate, really, for it gave a clearer impression. "In another of his plates he got the letters in 'two' reversed, so that they read 'owt', and yet the bills printed from that plate got into circulation. "Johnson was even a better engraver than Ulricn, and in each of the four plates he made after the first one to counterfeit this bill he endeavored to correct an error. Yet in each one he made another error. He simply coul not help it, he said, so long as he was at the crooked work. "His last error, that is, the one on the last of the five plates, was in the Treasury numbers. In that, the '8' was not uniform with the rest of the numerals. So throughout the series of plates, he would correct' one error only to make another, and no effort would save him from making one. 'A person would scarcely believe that a $ bill with the word 'owing' spelled 'owng' could get into circulation, but this happened with a bank note counterfeited after one of a Tamaqua, Pa, bank. In another instance the word 'thousand' came out on the counterfeit 'thousand.' "The counterfeit half dollars and quarters which were circulated so largely here not so long ago through the street car lines of Manhattan and Brooklyn had only slight defects, and those were such that anyone would say that there was no excuse for them in the work of expert criminals. But they went through the banks of both companies and were detected at the sub-treasury. "These coins were made of silver, .942 fine, or 30 points finer than the United States coin silver. But in the fifty-cent piece the word 'half' was spelled 'hale,' and in the quarters the '9' was dropped below the line in one plate, while in another the '1' was above the line. "I remember one bogus note in which the counterfeiter failed to make the little drops of water that in the good note trickle from the oar. That pay have been mere oversight." "In another instance a counterfeit plate was perfect except for the lack of a crossing of a 't'. The maker of that plate was run down and caught, eventually, but not until after a long chase and after he had done other work. "There have been counterfeiters ever since history began, apparently, and the counterfeiter began his work in this country early. Samuel Browne, tailor, was indicted in the province of New Jersey for altering a lottery ticket from the number 6.014 to 6.015 in 1742. No punishment for his crime is recorded. "But in 1744 John Stevens was hanged in the same New Jersey for passing bad bills. In 1748 a fractional note was altered on Staten Island, being raised to several times its original amount, and he was, I think, the first piece of note rising by pen work done here."—New York Sun. ```markdown ``` OZONIZED OX MARROW (Copyrighted) This wonderful hair pomade is the only safe preparation in the world that makes kinky or curly hair straight as shown above.

BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. TRADE-MARK. 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. OZONO. with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that. $50.00. Now, we ask you a plain question: do you require $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with it true to all we claim for them? We urge 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, R will make short, harsh hair long and stright, worrying scalp diseases. Itch, not live after Ozono has been applied. It will restore gray hair to its natural ittle. here, let us make a statement. Many first lighten hair, but when they send the prisons. Friends, do not use irons; the cause and cause it to drop out.

Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics. Ozono will positively take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Troublesome Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and straight.

It will restore gray hair to its natural color, making the hair long and soft. Now, right here, let us make a statement. Many firms are advertising remedies to straighten hair, but when they send the preparation they tell you to use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the life of the hair, and cause it to drop out. Ozono straightens without any outside assistance. Nothing but Ozono is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time. The good effects on the hair are seen in a day or two after the first application. The price of Ozone is 50c. a bottle—4 boxes do the work.
