The Palladium

THE PALLADIUM. Vol. XIX. No. 20. The Pall THE PALLADIUM Notes and News Concerning Our People--Weekly Record of Social Events, Deaths, Marriages and Births--Written Especially for Palladium Readers. The Social Glass. the melo-drama, "The Social Glass," played at the Fourteenth Street Theatre, on April 27th, was a grand success from start to finish. A well-filled house testified as to the confidence reposed in those taking part in the play. Mr. Wm. H. Huffman, as Charles Thornley, played his part to perfection, the laurels of the evening lay, between Mr. Huffman and Mr. John Vashon, who appeared in the role of John Farley. Neither forgot for an instant the part assumed; their acting seemed more on the order of that of professionals than as amateurs. Mr. James Grant as Bob Brittle kept the audience in laughter almost constantly. His stage-strack attitude suited him adamably. Mr. Richard Hudlin as Judge Hollis, proved himself so perfect in the role he assumed that his acting called forth hisses from a part of the house. When the audience so far forgets the fact that all that transpires on the stage is merely acting and is moved to greet villiany with hisses, it only demonstrates the adapness of the actor who plays the villian's part. Mr. Hudlin was excellent. Mr. Will Grant as Harold Hadley, the Temperance Lecturer, and Mr. Lorenzo Harris as Dr. Slater, both did credit to their respective part. Miss Bridgewater played her part well. Her every look and attitude was strictly in keeping with the role assumed. Miss Vella Crawford as Miss Nettie Nettleby, always intent upon making others happy, succeeded with the audience as well as those upon whom she extended her influence. Miss Crawford's acting as well as singing were very highly appreciated Miss Lottie Bell as the wife of the inebriate, John Farley, called forth the sympathy of the entire audience. The play throughout was perfect in every respect. The audience left their seats well pleased with the evening's performance, and there is no doubt but that the house would be filled to almost the same capacity were the play produced again. Society News. On Monday evening, May 4th, a Japanese wedding will be produced at All-aints' Church for the benefit of the Missionary Aid Society. A wagon party of twenty married and single couples, under the chaperonage of Mr. and Mrs. David Gordon, viewed the fire works at the World's Fair site on Thursday night. Mrs. Kate Easton with Mrs. Jennie Jackson, of Cincinnati, O., visited our schools on Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Anthony, of Lincoln Institute, are stopping with Mr. and Mrs. Henry Taylor, of 2649 Morgan street. Miss Hallie Q. Browne with Miss Nellie Copeiand, of Pine street, attended a box party at the Germania on Monday night. Mr. and Mrs. Shafner with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Scott, accompanied by Miss Johnson with Mr. Horatio Parker made up another box party. Approximate Figures of Dedioation Day. Attendance, day and evening, (un- officially and roughly estimated) 150,000 Number who witnessed decorated ceremonies, 50,000. Number who saw fireworks display in grounds and from near-by points, 400,000. Cost of fireworks display, $50,000. Number in military parade, 15,000. Number who viewed parade 300,000. Here's what those who neglect the Palladium bills they owe are. The names of all to whom that term will apply will appear in the space below: 2 The Grand Parade on Thursday and Dedication of the Exposition. No other event that has ever occurred in the history of St. Louis was equal to the dedication of the Exposition on Thursday, April 80th, by the President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, assisted by twenty governors of tw nty states, the cabinet and thousands of leading citizens of this and other countries. Now that the affairs are straightened out and the civilized world have their eyes on St Louis, every effort that leads to success should be put forth by the citizens of the city, state and United States, blended together for the completion of the various buildings in and for the World's Fair Exposition. The next great event will be the opening of the Exposition next May, 1904. On this road to success no party or faction should be regarded only the ultimate success of the World's Fair Exposition. We are confident that Hon. D. R. Francis will push forward every effort to bring success to the satisfaction of all. We should be glad that we have a Francis. We will have the support of all, knowing no party, race or color. So when the 1st of May, 1904, comes, D. R. Francis with his assistants can extend the keys over to Theodore Raosevelt. One Negro Shot and Another Stabbed. In a free-for-all fight between Henry Wheeler, of 2629 Morgan street, James Walker, of 2614 Morgan street, and John Dortch, of 2216 Morgan street, all colored, in a saloon at 2301 Morgan street, yesterday evening, Dortch received three bullet wounds in the left arm, while Wheeler was fatally stabbed in the left breast, the blade entering the lung. Walker and Wheeler, it is claimed, were the aggressors, the two starting a quarrel with Dortch, who drew a dirk. Walker and Wheeler drew newolvers and shot three times. Dortch closed with the men, stabbing Wheeler in the left breast. The wounded men were taken into custody and sent to the city hospital while Walker escaped. Thanksgiving Services. The 17th of May, 1903, has been named for the thanksgiving services of the Order of U. B. F. and S. M. T. We presume that the lodges and temples will do their f ill duty in this matter as members of a great order. We should obey the edicts of the National Grand Master and State Grand Master. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1903. Our President. Theodore Roosevelt is a true American. He feels no fear among his people for no true man will do bodily harm to a great man. Notice. Now the city is crowded with strangers and many sights will be seen, the public should be on their guard for confidence men and women. On beaving your house some one of the family should be left at home to look after the house. The Palladium man has been taken in by a so-called son of Bale Churchill, of Memphis, Teen. So look out the confidence man is here. A Prominent Visitor Mr. G. H Martin, manager of the Southern Palladium, is in our city. He will remain several days. We all must go to the excursion May 18, given by the Madison club on the Steamer Corwin Spencer. The reports of the City Editor, sporting, religious and chief reporters failed to reach the office in time this week. The cousin of Miss E. Bard, of 4023 Easton avenue, got married last Wednesday. She lives at 4036 Evans avenue. Full particulars next week. Mrs. Nettie L. Hoad, of 3934 Fairfax avenue, is enjoying life the way all persons ought to live. Now that the great World's Fair has been dedicated by the President and many of the leaders of the United States, let the good work go on till completion in May, 1904. D. R. Francis, the acknowledged leading citizen of the great Exposition. Let the 625,000 people in the city rally to his assistance. Get ready for the excursion May 18th given by the Madison club. President Roosevelt, ex-President Cleveland and our D. R. Francis were and are the three most conspicuous persons who now live in America. Mr. G. H. Herbert, the managers of the Southern Palladium, is in the city. He called upon the Palladium man and his secretary, Miss B. Ross. Notice to our many readers of the Palladium. Please pay to Mr. John W. Wheeler, Jr., our agent. All who wish to call at our office will find our secretary, Miss B. Ross. She will act for the Palladium man. Mr. Ben Adkins; the new Water Commissioner, is one of nature's gentlemen. We have had the acquaintance of this gentlemen for more than ten years, and he has ever been the same. We know him to be a thorough Democrat and stands up for true manhood. We hope to still see this gentleman as we have known him years ago, as he has came up through every obstacle. Miss Ida Hayes took it into her head to get married to a man. So she left home without the consent of mother, father and friends and married Mr. B. F. Patton, which was in violation of every right or duty of a child to their mother and father. Marriage is like death—it is a long time in this life. Scripture says "Honor your father and your mother that your days may be long in the land that the Lord thy God giveth thee." This was a clear violation of a duty that a child owes to its parents. We hope that the match may be happy. But we doubt it. Men who want to marry young girls who have mother and father, ought to have the manhood and honor enough to ask the consent of the parents. We are well acquainted with the family, who live at 4024 Finney avenue. The daughter who thinks she is happy lives at 3221 Lawton avenue. Well, when troubles come to this young lady (which they will come) she will want some one to help her then. She will then hunt up mother and father, the two who she has so much wronged. Yet we hope the match will be happy. NASBY. Mrs. Mary Bonard, of 716 N. Jefferson avenue, has been quite sick. She is now up again. Miss Hallie Q. Brown, the famous elocutionist, who gave a specimen of her powers in elocution, was indeed most wonderful. We do not believe that there is another actor or an elocutionist who is equal. It is well said by the Liverpool Daily Post—"Miss Brown showed extraordinary versatility and elocutionary gifts of a high order. Pos essed of a rich voice of remarkable range, the artiste produced some wonderful tone effects in several of the recitations, while the lighter and more humorous pieces were given with vivacious charm." We had hoped that many children might have been present to see her and the many variations in her walk-talk voice and the different sounds that she made which was almost inperceptible. We hope she will return soon that the good people might see and hear her in her wonder powers of recitation. Mrs. Eliza Rose, grandmother of Mrs. Jennie Harris, died last Saturday at the age of 68 years. She was taken to her old home at LaGrange, Mo., last Monday, where her body was interred. She lived at 3930 Fairfax avenue while in this city. Mrs. Harris and husband, Miss E. Bradshaw, of 4151 Olive street, and many friends accompanied the body home. Mrs. W. B. Williams, of 2307 Pine street, has just returned home from Memphis, Tenn. She is looking much improved in health. Mrs. Franois Haynes, of 2820 Adams street, is sick at this writing. Miss Will Etteta, a pupil in the Summer High School, is quite sick. Mrs. Maria Lewis, of 2924 Lucas avenue, is sick. Remember the Busy Bee Restaurant at 2837 Market street, has good icecream. Call and taste then guess whoes icecream it is. Ethel Watts ran off and got married to Mr. Henry Dorsey. They were married in Clayton, Mo., where all runaways do go to splice. We call especial attention to the fish stand of Mr. M. Meyer, dealer in fresh fish, oysters, etc., 2704 Franklin avenue. Our race must learn to patronize those who patronize us. So give Mr. Meyer a call. Lincoln Institute Notes. The prospectus of the summer school connected with Lincoln Institute will soon be ready for the public. All indications point toward a very successful session. Letters of inquiry are pouring in from all parts of the state, and many teachers and students have stated their intention to enroll for the six weeks' course, beginning Monday, June 15. Aside from the regular department work which will be in the hands of specialists, there will be a course of lectures on various subjects from such gentlemen of renown as Governor Dockery on Political Science; State Superintendent Carrington on Pedagogy; the Reverend Dr. Hendy The Egyptologist on Egypt and other historical subjects. Board and lodging can be secured at reasonable rates. Several members of the Board of Regents recently visited the Institute, carefully inspecting and inquiring into its condition and recommending such repairs and improvements as they deemed necessary. They unanimously and openly stated that President Allen's administration had been exceedingly practical, eminently successful, and of much value to the best interests of the institution. Vice-President Garnett of the Department of Latin delivered the commencement orations and presented the diplomas to the graduates at the closing exercises of the Bunceeton High School. Prof. J. Silone-Yates of the Department of English has been invited to deliver the commencement oration to the Alumni Association or Wilbe force University, June 17. The Lincoln Institute Dramatic Association, Mrs. C. Moten, director, gave a very creditable rendition of "The Last Loaf," in Page Auditorinm, Friday night, April 17. A large and appreciative audience witnessed the play. We are the leaders, others will follow. GRAND MOONLIGHT EXCURSION Given by the MADISON CLUB on the Steamer Corwin Spencer, Monday Evening, May 18th, 1903. Admission, 25c.; children, 15c. Colored Convention. The Second Annual Convention of the "Colored National Emigration and Commercial Association," is directed to meet June 24th, 1903, in Montgomery, Ala., and remain in session for three consecutive days. This Association, consisting of members in all parts of the United States, among other things has for its chief object the purchase of a Steamship for Emigration and Commercial purposes. They have already in hand nearly thirty thousand dollars, and propose to raise the balance by selling ship stock, and place the vessel upon the ocean for travel and commerce. The members and friends of the organization regard this the greatest project of the Negro since Emancipation, and that it is destined to accomplish more for his character and pocket than anything he has done. Persons not in harmony with the spirit and object of the Convention will not be present, while friends of the movement will be welcomed, and in some instances invited to take part. A distinguished United States Senator, whose name we withhold by his own request, will speak before the Convention, and others of national distinction will do the same. This call is made by order of the Executive Committee: Dr. W. H. Heard, President, Georgia. L. Howard Jones, Vice-President, O. N. B. Sterritt, D. D., South Carolina. W. H. Young, LL. D., Tennessee. Frank H. Warren, Michigan. J. C. Whitaker, Texas. Bishop L. H. Holsey, Director Gen. Robert H. Duncan, Alabama. Hon. W. A. Pledger, S licitor. Bishop H. M. Turner, Chancellor. L P. LEMON, Secretary. P. S.-For further information, address Dr. W. H. Heard, 149 Clark street, Atlanta, Ga. All persons at ending this convention procure certificate from Railroad Agent which will entitle them to reduced rates. We publish the above article more as a favor than as an indication of approval of the object of the convention. Emigration to Africa by the Negro is only another of the multitudinous schemes in vogue to rid the United States of the ever-disturbing "Negro Question." The poor, deluded leaders have been led to believe that in the colonization of Africa lies the last resource for the saving of the American Negro. For those whoces ancestors for two or more generations have been born and reared on American soil, to give way to foreigners whose only object in coming to this country is make money to better their condition upon their return to their native land, speaks very poor for the Negro's perseverance. The settlement upon African soil only means a change of sovereigns—in other words, only becoming subjects to a foreign power. If the Negro cannot pave his way amidst the height of civilization, there is precious small hope for him where civilization is in the embryo. 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 borgains in houses. Insurance placed in the best companies.

Receipts—Widows and orphans' fund, $4,240.80; grand lodge tax fund, $760.39; national grand lodge tax fund, $162.60; sale of supplies, $186.89; interest on U. S. bonds, $10; total receipts for the quarter, $9,60.88. Receipts for the six months ending February were $8,95.47. $7,169.95 of this represents receipts for the benefit of widows and ophans. The Board ordered that $2,500 be paid to widows orphans. Total paid to date $81,210.95.

Martin, born a slave on a farm in Montgomery county, Tenn., June 28, 1857; attended school at Cumberland Furnace; left for Nashville with $7.00 at the age of seventeen saw for the first time a railroad train on this trip. Attended Central Tennessee College two or three sessions returning to the country to work during the summer. Went to McNairy county, in 1876, married in 1877, began the study of medicine under a private teacher in 1878, entered Meharry in 1881, graduated in 1886.

Wheeler, The above cut represents the Editor of the St. Louis Palladium, J. W. Wheeler, who has been in public life 26 years, and he is known as the "Political Preacher." As a politician he is up-to-date. He has attended most all the city, state and national conventions since 1872. He prides himself on having voted 36 times for Gen. Grant in a National Convention in 1880. He was one of the 306 in the famous campan of 1894 which aided in carrying the State of Missouri Republican by a large majority. He has always taken a bigh stand in Order in time and save annoyance. U. B. F., S. M. T. and Juvenile Goods.

They now have five children, the eldest a daughter, is a teacher, and four boys. Herbert, the oldest boy, has has charge of the drug store, and will complete his medical course at Meharry next year. The junior boys are in school. The doctor devotes his entire time to the work of the A. U. K. and D. of A., though he is a Mason. The doctor resides in a nice brick dwelling on the corner of Peabody and Summer streets. He also owns several other valuable pieces of property, and is respected by both white and colored people. He does a small practice in connection with his other business, and is considered a good general practitioner by his friends. C. B. W. Sate and Church. He has been put to the test since the campaign of 1898. In this election, when Congressmen, Judges and other city officers were to be elected, most all the ministers banded themselves together, aided by the two papers published by colored men, namely the American Eagle and the St. Louis Sun, left the Republican party, and tried for three months to disrupt and defeat the Republicans. J. W. Wheeler at once changed the issuing of his monthly paper to that of a weekly, and for three months he stood as a beating anvil. top pieces for supporters' staffs are capable of the highest polish and make a splendid display.

QNOLERA RAVAGES IN CHINA The Dreadful Scourge Is Sweeping Through the Entire Empire. Not since 1862 has there raged such an epidemic of cholera as is raging at present. Some old residents who passed through that one think that the present one is even more extensive and just as virulent. It is sweeping through the entire empire, from Canton to Pekin, and from Shanghai to Szechuan. And it is not confined to coast or port any longer, but is also sweeping through the country districts, making havoc in every village it strikes. It seemed to begin simultaneously in June in Canton, Shanghai and Manchuria, and from these centers it has spread until there is scarcely a province in the empire that is not infected. Thousands have perished in Manchuria, Chill and Shaptung. In Kwilin, a large city in Kaingsi, people are dying at the rate of 1,000 a day, and over 40,000 have already succumbed. So great was the death rate that it was impossible to meet the demands for coffins, and tub makers and other workers in wood were pressed into service to make coffins. In Shanghai the epidemic has been especially severe, not only among the natives, but among foreigners as well; over forty foreigners have succumbed thus far. It spares no one, high or low, old or young. Usually the beggars and coolie class are the first to be attacked, and then the better classes are affected. It has crept into the imperial palaces at Pekin, and some of the eunuchs have died of it. As a consequence the empress dowager has become frightened. The disease seems to be of a specially virulent type, an unusually large per cent dying from its effects. Some die within a few hours. Carriers of burdens, fruits, vegetables, etc., fall down and die in their tracks before reaching their destination. Whole families are wiped out in a single night. The writer knows of a village near Chefoo consisting of fifty families. In a short time 100 members died and the surviving ones have lost all hope. They do not attend to their business, but simply wait until their turn comes. Travelers arrange with their muleteers or carters to be taken home, dead or alive, as there is such a strong probability of their dying while on the road, and every Chinaman wants to be buried at home, if possible. The writer has seen coolies and beggars stricken down on the streets of Chefoo—Leslie's Weekly.

LOUISVILLE, KY. News From Kentucky, the Mother State of the U. B.F. and M. 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 Mutual Aid Association was organized at this session. The Lodges and Temples are taking out Policies, 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. You're in J. M. S., W. H. G. $4 to $8 a day guaranteed to every perron sending their name and address to Scott Remedy Co., P. O. Box 570, Louisville, Ky.

Meals to Order at All Hours. BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. TRADE-MARK. BEFORE. AFTER. Recognizing the fact that there are many 80-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics. OZONO. which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00. 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 cure your head of all itching, worrying scalp diseases. Itch, Eczema, Dandruff, and Scurf can not live after Ozono has been applied. It will stop your hair from falling out. It will restore gray hair to its natural color, making the hair shiny and itch-free. No 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. We make this liberal offer, which is good at any time: Cut out this coupon and send to us, enclosing with it the sum of One Dollar, and we will forward to you four large boxes of Ozone and one large bottle of Electrical Skin Refiner, which makes black skin bright, rough skin soft and pliant, and cures all skin diseases. Also removes all facial imperfections, and actually removes small-pox pits. We will also include one fancy jar of our Electrical Skin Food—Nature's great beautifier—removes wrinkles, moth patches, freckles, and all facial blemishes; makes the old look young and the young look younger. We will also include one package of our celebrated Scalp Soap, which is absolutely CHEMICALJ.Y.PURE, and no soap but a pure soap should ever 3 BIG DRUG STORES. 2605 1901(Franklin Ave. Also Marcus and Easton Avenues.
