C." club on Easter Monday night at True Reformer's Hall was one of the most successful ever given by that charming body of young ladies. Miss Blanche Spurlock is in the city visiting her mother. Mrs. Susie Dean, a bride of Cape Girardeau, was the guest of Mrs. Eva Hopson last week. Mrs. Susan P. Vashon has recovered from her recent illness. The 11-Wood Dramatic Club presented an enjoyable entertainment in the form of a three-act drama, entitled Michael Earl, at the Germania Theater, on last Monday night. Mrs. Lulu V. Wilkinson entertained the "Informal Dames." Saturday afternoon, at her residence, 2634 Lucas avenue, with a progressive dinner party. The affair was pronounced by all present as being the most enjoyable of the Easter festivities. A musical program, rendered by Misses Berenice Dore, Mabel Wheeler Anna Parram and M sdames Harris and Wilkinson, accompanied each course of the menu. The decorations and favors were in keeping with the colors of the organization—violet and white. Covers were laid for twenty-five At a linen shower Wednesday evening, the 15th, Mr. and Mrs. Clark of Walnut street, entertained about fifty guests in honor of Miss Emma Davis, f 2633 Lucas avenue. There is more buying of real estate in St. Louis at present than at any other time in its history. You cannot rent anything now, so why not buy as the time may soon come when there will be nothing to buy. A bargain is good at all times, and a better thing now than it will be after the World's Fair. I have several bargains in houses. Insurance placed in the best companies, HUTCHINS LACE HUTCHINS INGE, Attorney-at-law and Real Estate Agent, 1107 Clark avenue Furnished rooms for rent to men; rooms comfortably furnished; second and third floors; with or without board. 2336 Wash street.

Miss Mayne Masterson, of Louisville, Ky., passed through the city last Thursday, eve, en oute to California on a visit to her father and brother. Miss Masterson, during her stay in the city, was royally entertained by several of the young ladies and gentlemen of the city. She was met at the station by James B. Huston and J. Myron Crawford, and after a light lunch, proceeded to Miss Anna O. Parram's. From Miss Parram's the party called on Miss Mae Hamilton, where several young ladies and gentlemen were assembled to meet her. A party consisting of Miss Brancie C. Hutt, Miss Irene Hamilton, Miss G. Hutt, W. W. Brown, Jas. B. Huston and Wm. D. McKoin accompanied Miss Masterson to the station to see her off. Hon. John T. Crisp, of Jackson County, has departed from this world to the great unknown. Missouri loses her strongest advocate for "Jim Crow" law, and we hope that no other will secure for similar notoriety. We are the leaders, others will follow. GRAND MOONLIGHT EXCURSION Given by the MODERN CLUB on the Steamer Corwin Spencer. Monday Evening. May 18tht 1903. Admission, 25c.; children, 15c. J. H. Pastor First Baptist Church. Miss Brown is an elocutionist of rare gifts. Her mellow voice has that note of pathos which has been inherited from centuries of oppression. It has a magnificent range and is marvelously flexible. You will miss a treat that never can be recalled back. Remember she will be at the First Baptist Church, 14th and Clark avenue, Tuesday evening, April 28. Extacts from press opinions: The Sheffield Daily Telegraph—“One of the finest female elocutionists in the world.” The Sheffield Independent—“Miss Brown gave a most eloquent address, and charmed her audience with songs and recitation.” The Daily Leader, Newcastle-on-Tyne—“Miss Brown possesses a bigly On a Visit. Mrs. Annie Kelley, of Columbia, Tenn., is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Dr. Crews, at 2647 Morgan street. She will remain until after the dedication of the World's Fair. Miss L. Austin, of 2011 Market street, will visit Silice, Mo., next Sunday. She will remain away one week. Secretary and Treasurer W. W. Holman is wearing a bright smile these last few days. The Afro-American Enterprise League's busy season will open in a few days, and Mr. Holman contemplates much work. Miss Lillian McDougal has just returned from Chicago, where she completed a course in the Provident Hospital as a trained nurse. She is constantly receiving congratulations from her many friends who wish her much success in her new field. Miss McDougal is the only daughter of Mr. G. W. McDougal, who conducts the fashionable barber shop at 909 Locust street. Mr. McDougal is very proud of his daughter. Miss Zenobia Muse, of Jacksonville, Ill., left Saturday afternoon for her home after a delightful stay of several weeks in the city as the guest of Mrs. Wind. Several of the postoffice boys look as if they would have been delighted if she had decided to remain in St. Louis indefinitely. She promised that she would probably return for the World's Fair dedication on the 30th. Mr. Jno. M. Murphy, one of our postoffice clerks, is a great church worker in Carondelet. Quinn's Ohapel is rapidly improving and progressing in church work, much to Mr. Murphy's credit. Mr. James L. Haley is constantly receiving congratulations from his many friends.

E. C. COLE, trained voice, of great compass and flexibility." The Liverpool Courier—"She has a singularly expressive voice, which falls pleasantly on the ear. She is graceful in her gesture, and has a delightfully charming manner. With such attributes her entertainment could not fail to be interesting and enjoyable." The Manchester Guardian—"She has a voice of great power and flexibility, and possesses elocutionary talent of high order, which gained her an enthusiastic reception." The Liverpool Daily Post—"Miss Brown showed extraordinary versatility and elocutionary gifts of a high order. Possessed of a rich voice of remarkable range, the artist produced some wonderful tone effects in several of the recitations, while the lighter and more humorous pieces were given with vivacious charm.' Admission—20c and 10c. REV. E. E. COLE. Pastor. Our Mr. Bartholdt. The fight of the Palladium against Mr. Bartholdt the South Side Congressman, will continue until the next campaign. We are determined that the public shall be freed from political harboring and deception; and, if need be, both the Doctor and his relative Beirman will be shelved. Mr. Bartholdt has never yet been firmly located on any question or difference which might chance to arise in party lines. Seemingly he prefers to bicker about from side to side like a small boy in candy store. The public is awake to the real worth of the South Side gentlemen, and mark our prediction he is a sure enough dead one. Has Returned Home Mr. Clarence E. Drew, the brother of Mrs. C. V. Adams, of 4210 Adams street, has just returned home from Leavenworth, Kan. The sister is almost wild over her dear brother as is his mother, Mrs. Mary Curtis, of 6105 S 9th street. Thus makes the meeting of another happy family. The St. Louis County Colored Teachers have organized a teachers' association to prevent teachers from various national schools throughout the state from securing positions in the counties at a lower salary than that of the county teachers. Mr. Lewis Nelson was elected president and Miss Beatrice Hudlin, secretary. Mr. W. D. McKoin promised his support and will take the matter before County Superintendent Andre and the various county directors. The next meeting occurs in Wellston, Saturday, April 25th, at 2 p. m. All are invited to attend. Mr. James Cordie Watkins, one of our foremost postoffice clerks, contemplates a trip to New York and other Eastern cities on his vaca ion in June.

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. During a conversation Mr. Roscoe Haskell remarked that he was of the opinion that the Palladium would accomplish a good work by opening a matrimonial bureau. If we can be of any service to Mr. Haskell we will be glad to do so. Jas. B.

U. of the First Baptist Church, held its weekly meeting on April 19, at 6 p. m. Mrs. Sallie F. Lewis conducted the Scripture lesson, which was followed by a literary programme. A collection of 75 cents was taken up. Rev. W. H. Pierce, president; Miss Zenobia Brown, secretary; A. W. Washington, assistant secretary. On Sunday, April 12, a church rally, $373 was raised.

Henderson, Mesdames M. At Gilree, Carrie Miller, Ada Johnson, Misses Lillie Evans and Anna Thomas. Miss Emma B. Smith, a teacher in New Orleans, Mo., writes that their pupils are preparing work for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. She says they expect their exhibits to surpass the exhibits of all other colored schools. Miss Carrie Miller sent last Tuesday at Mrs. Boyd's residence in Wellston. U. B. F. April 16, 1903. The Board of Managers of ide U. B. F. and S. M. T. of Texas met in Houston at the office of the Grand Treasurer. The full Board consists of W. F. Bledsoe, chairman, Marshall; F. W.

Sumner High School. The opening of Sumner High School to visitors on April 17th, afforded all responded to the invitations a generous treat. The most attractive and interesting features were the blacksmithing and woodturning shops under the direction of Mr. Augustus Thornton, and the cooking and sewing departments with the Misses Helen Burrell and Lillian Vandorburg in charge. A visit to the blacksmith room foum the boys busily engaged in shaping heated iron into various forms. The clang of the anvil made one forget he was within the bounds of a school-room. The woodturning shops, with its business-like hum, was a treat rather unexpected. All forms of wood-tin-ning ranging from the simple sawing of the lumber to the fancy carving, were displayed. The boys are undoubtedly adepts in their work. A little souvenir rolling-pin, made by the pupils, was presented to each visitor. The class in the cooking-room was engaged in making ice-cream. The neat-looking cooks with the utensils handled so knowingly by them, made those who observed their movements quite confident that the ice-cream would be of the finest. The sewing department presented specimens of hand and machine sewing that would credit to the most up-to-date seam-dress. The school upon the whole breathes more of the air of a modern college. One seems transported to distant realms upon entering its doos and upon leaving, pauses for a few moments to exclaim, "And thus,—— is Sumner!" The Rosebud Bar, 2220 Market street.

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 attiting of the grand body, furnished and completed in the latest style architecture. A Mutual 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. A Dog Taught to Steal. A strange complaint was filed with the district attorney recently when William Degbert, a gardener farmer, living on the Culver road, came into use office and allged that a neighbor had by proxy been pilfering his farm. The neighbor's proxy, said Mr. Degbert, is a dog, a large bulldog. Degert Mr. Degert explained how throughout the summer the animal had been in the habit of visiting the Degert place and playing with the children. At last he noticed that after each of these canine visits some small article, a coat, a shoe or a small farming implement was missing. Mr. Degert's chattles took to disappearing in such a mysterious and inexplicable manner that the agency of a two-legged thief was precluded. Either a ghost or some animal, concluded Mr. Degert, was depicting his household goods. As the unknown thief sometimes displayed poor judgment in making a selection of boot, Mr. Degert decided that the thief was no ghost. He believed that the shade of some departed bandit would never take one shoe and leave the other. The hypothesis, to be accepted, would call for the conclusion that the thief was the possessor of but one leg. was the possition for the children to discover the real culprit. One day the dog was seen dragging a rake down the road. Then a watch was set on his movementts, and sure enough says Degbert, the dog was the villain. The complainant was told that the dog's owner could not be punished for the canine's thefts unless it was clearly proved that he had taught the dog to steal. Of course any damage the dog had been guilty of the master would have to settle. But it was not a matter of criminal prosecution.—Rochester Post-Express. Bad Bunions on Her Kismet. Street Cleaning Commissioner Paul Iglehart came back to the city hall this week from a gunning trip in Anne Arundel county and brought with him a supply of new stories told in the historic old South River Club. The one that particularly took Mr. Iglehart's fancy was of the Irish servant girl who one day asked his mistress what was the meaning of the word "kismet." After thinking a little while, the mistress said: "Why, Bridget, it is another name for Fate." "Why, what on earth is the matter with you?" she asked. "Oh, sure, ma'am," was the reply, "I've got bunions on my kismet."—Baltimore Sun.

RUSSIA'S BEST HATED MAN. His Age Obliges Him to Retire ane ‘the Country Rejoices. ‘The best hated man in all Russia has sent in his resignation to the czar, the reason given being old age, he having just passed his 75th birth day. He is Constantine Pobiedonost zeff, and since the ascension of Alex ander [11 he has held the office of procurator of the Holy Russian synod. In this position it was his duty te care for the welfare of the people from the religious standpoint and hq has been a relentless persecutor of the Jew, the Protestant, and, in fact, of ail who did not belong to the Greek Catholic church. The police, and there is no body of men more cruel ot corrupt, were completely under his control, amd where the people failed he had the power to call upon the sok diers of the czar. He was originally a civil iaw professor in Moscow, and was promoted to be tutor, to Alex: ander, whose confidence he gained thoroughly by writing a book in which he upheld the autoeratic form of gow ernment, and especially denounced democracy and socialism. Personally, he is said tobe a most genial man without any ferocity in his nature, Dut he is dominated by his faith im his religion and the ruler of his coum try.

BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA 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 flipping advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics. OZONO. with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that $0.00. Now, we ask you a plain question, for if Ozono $0.00 if you are dissatisfied with w it true to all we claim for them? We under this guarantee, and we are glad Ozono has been satisfied in every respect, we are to-day using our preparations, Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics.

Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $0.00 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 Ozone has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozone as the King of all Hair Tonics. Ozone will positively take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Troublesome Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and straight.
