The Palladium

THE PALLADIUM. Vol. XIX. No. 23 1910 [Name] THEODORE ROOSEVELT. President Roosevelt was again forced to call upon the gal for aid. This time the negro troops of the 9th cavalry were ahead of the President and break the snow in the Yosem Presidential party. President Rooseveit was again forced to call upon the gallant black soldier for aid. This time the negro troops of the 9th cavalry were called in service to go ahead of the President and break the snow in the Yosemite Valley for the Presidential party. Our Mr. Bartholdt. EMr. Bartholdt or his constituents are hoping that the Palladium will give up her fight against the Tenth district Congressman, they reckoned very im-properly. These modern times and doctrines of political equality implies to us equal rights political y and a share of party privileges. The government rests on the broad foundation of popular opinion, and the voter is the source of justice and political authority. Men who abuse justice and public authority usually learn that politicians who do not enjoy the popular will are as unstable as water. The proof of the "pudding" is eating; so let Doctor Bartholdt and his "Patronage Broker" Beirnaldt eat. It is said to be of record that Mr. Bartholt once expressed himself as being indifferent as to how the negro voted: not only did he do this, but he is known to have installed Geo. Beirman (his man, Friday) as his "Patronage Broker" in the St. Louis Custom House, and Beirman has, by his prevalent rules, given the negro to understand that no black man need apply. Who is Beirman and what success has he achieved that he should become the chief dispenser of federal patronage in St. Louis? Leadership in political parties is not necessarily the product of elections or the concomitant of official station. There was a day when absolute monarchy seemed the ideal of human greatness, but that age has vanished, and the leader of to-day must possess qualities higher than a despot or a Nepotist. Who is Beirman and why has Mr. Bartholt crowned him as a boss? Surely there is no magnetism in this "Political Ocabbage." Mr. Bartholt's "Message from the President" speech, and other "face-bashing" movements will avail him little in the future unless his "Faith-Breaking Methods" are laid aside. Lincoln won universal faith because he was honest to the core; the people believed that what he said he meant, and that he would do, within the limits of his power, exactly what he promised. Can we say this of Herr Bartholdt? This is the age of the aspiring many. The freely followed leader of a free people is greater by far than emperor or king. Mrs. Mamie Robinson, who formerly presided at 2630 Lucas avenue, has moved to 1713 Michigan avenue. d to call upon the gallant black soldier the 9th cavalry were called in service to the snow in the Yosemite Valley for the "Negro Question Is a Sad One," Says Rev. Parkhurst. The remarks of Rev. Parkhurst, of New York, in an interview concerning his visit South and the Negro Question impress one as those of a person laboring under an hallucination. He says: "It is a very serious problem to see two races multiplying and gaining in numbers and strength, side by side, in this great land of ours." We fail to see where in the seriousness of the problem lies. Races have existed side by side since the beginning of the world's history. The Greeks and Romans, the Angles and Saxons have each been pre-eminent in power, but as time wore on, they gradually became assimilated. The time has long since passed when the American negroes and Caucasians exist as two distinct races. In fact, we would suggest that the Reverend Gentleman examine the present statistics and answer the question, "Is not the assimilation almost complete?" He says "The miggers will never be assimilated. They never will contribute, in any part, toward forming the Americans of the future. They grow blacker and blacker every day. Their color is a physical barrier, which evume time, the great leveler, can not sweep away." Rev. Parkhurst flatly denies the facts of history. Doubless he is not awake of the fact that members of the negro race have been and are now. Senators, Representatives, Leiutenant-Governors of States, Colonels, Captains and Leiutenants in regular army of the United States, and at present stand guarding the frontiers from invasion by members of the all-powerful Caucasian race. But recently, the first hand raised in defense of an assassinated President was that of a negro, The only reason why the negro will not contribute to the future is because the authors of the present-day histories refuse to permit his name to appear among the chronological facts. Those in whose power the publication of future reference-books are placed, will quell any mention of the deeds of the negro. His assertion that, "The physical barrier that separates the blacks from the whites to-day will be just as broad and as high throughout centuries to come," is untrue in every respect. Again, Rev. Parkhurst proves that he, like Rip Van Winkle, has slept for twenty years. Within the past year our President, by his noble defense of the negro, not as one of a race, but as a man, sadly shattered the color-line. Reverend Parkhurst has doubtless drawn this conclusion concerning the negro race from observing some deck-hand or some levee roustabouts. As usual the lowest type of the negro race is taken as a criterion of all. Reverend Parkhurst is due another trip South, during which he may have the pleasure of meeting some of the highest type of the American negroes All the negro has ever asked for has been fair play and an equal chance with his white brother. A Pointer for Rev. Parkhurst. The Globe-Democrat of May 20, contains an article saying that a resolution was adopted by the Woman's Baptist Home Mission of Buffalo, N. Y., declaring that the feeling against negroes manifested by many white people, and the idea that negroes were not capable of developing a study of moral character was un-Christian-like, and not justified by the findings of missionaries working among the negroes. Wonder how that strikes the Reverend Gentleman? Prof. Langston's Address on the Negro. The St. Louis Advance publishes a rather bitter comment upon Prof. Langton's address. We are of the opinion that Prof. Langton's attitude concerning the negro question has been misconstrued. As we understand it, his object was not to portray the faults of the negro with malicious intent, but to open his eyes, so to says, to his own short-comings with a view toward remedying them. The gentleman of the Advance who wrote the article, in saying that in Prof. Langston is another Brutus coming to stab Caesar, does him an injustice. The insult offered to Prof. Langton by the classifying of himself with such a car as Tillman, could only be eradicated by a public apology by the writer of the article. We admit that the progress of the negro since emancipation has been wonderful, but the effect of his advancement is spoiled by the indifference shown by the younger element toward the educational advantages offered them, free gratis. Prof. Laagston is not alone in his views. All sensible negroes support him. T. Thomas Fortune Gets Into Trouble. Arrest of Companion of the Editor and the Clothing of His Secretary. Manilia, May 14.—After a difficulty with the local police, T. Thomas Fortune, a special labor commission appointed by the War Department to visit the Hawaiian and Philippines Islands, has left Manila for home. A companion of Mr. Fortune was arrested for a petty offense and Mr. Fortune accompanied him to the station house, where an argument led to a fight, during which the police clubbed Mr. Fortune's secretary and charged Mr. Fortune with resisting officers of the law. Mr. Fortune made counter charges, but later the charges were withdrawn. Mr. Fortune is a resident of New York City and is editor of the New York Age—X Some months' ago we stated through the columns of the Palladium that Thomas T. Fortune was a dangerous leader and should keep in the background. We received information some time ago that he was connected with a paper in Manila. We knew then that the climax would soon come. So it has, just as we predicted. Be on the lookout for the Clark and Bradford wedding, which will take place in June. Miss Bessie Clark, of 4235 Labadie avenue, and Mr. Charles Bradford, of 4251 Labadie avenue, will soon be married. Miss Lelia Mitchell, of 4236 Labadie avenue, was married last Monday to Mr. Sylvester Graves, of Lambdin avenue. Come with me and we will go to the Annual Picnic at FLT St. Louis Hope Lodge, 2117, G. U. O. of O.-F., at Ofenstein's Grove, Monday, June 22. THE PALLADIUM Notes and News Concerning Our People--Weekly Record of Social Events, Deaths, Marriages and Births--Written Especially for Palladium Readers. NOTICE If the reporters of the Palladium do not get their matter to the office by Wednesday, the waste basket will get their reports. J. W. WHEELER, Manager. MISS KATE JOHNSON, Editor. SOCIETY. The South Side Whist Club, composed of the following ladies, Mesdames D. E. Gordon, Wesley Campbell, James Usher and the Misses Helen Burrell, Alice Easton, Katie Wright, Lucille Hunter and Virginia A. Mordecai, have challenged the following gentlemen—D. E. Gordon, Jus. Usher, H. Inge, T. A. Curtis, C. H. Brown, E. S. Williams, A. T. Richards and Wesley Campbell, to a competitive game to be played Saturday evening, 23d inst., at the residence of Mrs. Charles P. Bardean, 3726 Texas avenue. The outcome is looked forward to with much interest, as each participant has had considerable experience, upon which they rely. A recent business meeting of the "Informal Dames" was held at the residence of Mrs. Wesley Campbell. Several new members were admitted, owing to vacancies caused by death and resignations of other members. The total membership is restricted to 20. "The Loyal Helpers' Club, gave a reception to about 40 ladies on last Thursday, at the residence of Mrs. Viola Garrett, of 2604 Stoddard street. A fine literary program was highly appreciated. The spacious rooms were beautifully decorated, and light refreshments were served, which were enjoyed by all. Mrs. Carolyne Knight's looking much improved since her recent illness. Her grandmother, Mrs. Long, of 4818 Page boulevard, is also convalescent. Miss Maria Thomas left for her home in Chicago on last Sunday. She was here on business, in which she has been successfully engaged since leaving the schools of St. Louis. Mrs. Maria Hill, of Chicago, is in the city visiting her relatives at 3726 Texas avenue. Mr. Ben. Adkins, has again proven that broad principle dwells in the breasts of all true gentlemen, let them be Democrats or Republicans. We are pleased to see the appointments he has made, and hope they will be approved by the Board of Public Improvements. We will have more to say when he appoints his private secretary. Grand Lodge of U. B. F. and S. M. T. of the State of Illinois will meet in Alton on July 12, 1903. We anticipate that this will be the largest meeting that was ever held in the State. Circle Lodge, No. 2, will send Messrs. C. Natt, I. Henderson and J. P. Hunter as delegates. Mrs. Wolfskill, of 4555 Cottage avenue, has been sick for several weeks. Messrs. Albert Love and Jo Decatur will soon open a barber shop on the corner of La Salle and Compton avenue. The two young men have many friends and we believe will be successful. ```markdown ``` Mert Segar, the son of Mrs. Annie Segar, of 604 Lawton avenue, will soon return to St. Louis. He started for the U. S on May 17. His many friends will be pleased to see him again. Mrs. Mary Whaling, of 2205 Walnut street, is quite ill at this writing. M s. Jennie Taylor, of Brooklyn, Ill., was paralyzed May 9. Mrs. Corbins of 2322 Papin street, visited her last Monday. Mrs. Jennie Coleman, of 1416 Cardinal avenue, is enjoying the best of health. The excursion given last Monday night was a grand success. The Madison Club will come to the front again on the 20th of June, 1903. So wait for it. Watch Mr. Jim Ray's Place, 22d and Market streets. It will be a dandy—an up-to-date dandy. 22d and Market street. Miss Laleila Mae Smith, of Fisk University, will be the guest of Miss Vella Crawford for a few days in June. Mr. A R. Cole has recently joined the Federal Elks' Association. Mr. Alex. Beadie, Captain of the Fisk University Football Club, will graduate from that institution in June. Mr. Jas. B. Huston, who has been looking down-cast for the past month, met all of his friends last week with a pleasant smile. What has been the matter, Jas.? The Missouri Base Ball Club has recently be reorganized and played their first game with the St. Louis Stars defeating them by the score of 16 to 3. The Lloyds defeated the Favorites last Sunday by the score of 13 to 10. Mr. J. Myron Crawford, financial secretary of the Federal Elks' Association, is considered by the members as being very competent. Messrs. Ed. Levy and Miller are contemplating a fishing trip to King's Lake. Mr. L. A. Walton is patiently awaiting the return of Miss _____. The young men of the city are disgusted with the way some of the older generation are representing them. They have been misrepresented on several occasions. It is all due to the lack of knowledge and intelligence on the part of those that represented them. On the excursion that left for Cape Girardeau last Saturday, not one of the St. Louis boys went. It is something surprising that——didn't go. Mr. J. C. Watkins is visiting friends in Tennessee. The membership of the Federal Elks' Association is very rapidly increasing. The L. H. C. Club. The reception given by the L. H. C. Club at the residence of Mrs. C. G. Garrett, 2604 Stoddard street, last Thursday afternoon, was a pleasant affair. The guests were entertained lavishly.

Mr. Crawford was one of the six men selected from the Kent Club, a debating society in the Yale Law School, to speak for the Wayland prize of $100, awarded to the three men who prove ablest in debate on a given subject. J. H. Sears and C. Bentley, members of the class of 1901, divided honors with Mr. Crawford, who attained the distinction of winning the prize for the third consecutive year since he came to Yale.—X. It may be to Rev. Parkhurst's interest to read the above. It might serve to change the trend of his opinion concerning the American negro. Grand Rally. One of the grandest rallies of the season will be held Sunday, May 31 at 2:00 o'clock p. m., at the Free-Will Baptist Church, at 3932 Papin street, of which Rev, S. R. Bullock is pastor.

WHEELER, Editor aud Manager. ST. LOUIS, : : : MISSOURI. CURRENT COMMENT. Uncle Sam may yet have to simply take the land that he needs for the Panama canal and pay Colombia what it is worth—and no more. Dr. Lorenz has been requested to confine his operations to his own country. There is not enough legpulling in America to keep home doctors busy. It is all a man's life is worth to be elected to an office in Kentucky, but he has to be a candidate now and then in order to maintain a reputation for bravery. George V. Hankins, of Chicago, who delighted to be called "Prince of the Sporting Fraternity," has gone into the bankrupty court with $800,000 of liabilities and no assets. Frank D. Underwood, president of the Erie Railroad company, began his career as a deckhand on a ferry-boat on the Potomac river, where he received a salary of $40 a month. Vice President Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana, was a graduate of Hanover college, at Madison, in that state, and his widow has given $25,000 for the erection of a library in his memory there. A judge in Indian territory soaked an irate subscriber for $40 for indulging in a sulphurous conversation of four minutes over, the telephone. A conversation valued at $10 a minute must be pretty "hot stuff." The national W. C. T. U. voted in Chicago to ask congress to prohibit saloons within four miles of an army post. In such a case either the city of Leavenworth, Kan., or else the fort of the same name would have to move. The boomer has struck Africa. A dispatch from Rhodesia says: "Some day the gigantic forces of Victoria falls will be used to work the mines and illuminate the towns by electricity." The Uganda railway has been finished and two trains weekly are run to Mombasa. At a Lake Erie port the other day a cargo of 5,300 tons of ore was discharged in 5 hours and 40 minutes, which is the greatest feat performed thus far with unloading machinery. Under the former system it would have taken 250 men two days to discharge a cargo of 5,000 tons. Thirty men can do it now in one-eighth the time. (1051-0037) The girls of Smith college, at Northampton, Mass., are indignant at a new set of rules, one of which forbids any one of them taking a carriage ride with any student of Amherst college unless engaged to be married to him. There must always be two girls, but there may also be two men, provided they are all in the same vehicle. The legislatures of 21 of the 45 states have adopted resolutions asking congress to submit an amendment for the direct election of senators, or to call a convention to submit such an amendment. The legislatures of 14 states have refused to take action in the premises and the legislatures of 10 states have not considered the subject. One of Senator Lodge's small stock of stories relates to a member of the Massachusetts legislature who was much impressed with the dignity of his position. One night his wife woke him and whispered: "John, there are burglars in the house." "You must be mistaken, my dear," said her husband. "There may be a few in the senate, but in the house—oh, no; the idea is simply preposterous." Ella Wheeler Wilcox's reflections on the elopement of Princess Louise, of Saxony, go far to convince her readers that a poor, foreordained, handicapped, predestinate princeling or princess can have little to hope of going any way but the wrong way. They are all born bad and trained to be worse. Instead of being envied, they are entitled to sympathy and commiseration like people who come into the world with a club foot or a weak brain or blind of one eye. A correspondent of the New York Herald precipitates a discussion by asking why more physicians than any other class of men wear beards and declares "that one doctor can carry more germs in his beard than can a thousand mosquitoes." The letter makes the point that in passing through a sick room and in performing operations quite a menagerie of these little animals are accumulated and winds up by declaring that physicians should be required to keep clean shaven. An impressive illustration of the increase of actual wealth that has been going on in this country during the last few years is shown in the estimate of the number and value of farm animals at the beginning of 1903. There was a gain of 487,573 in the number of animals over the previous year, and a gain of $119,345,450 in their value. As the value is estimated at the tremendous sum of $3,108,515,540, it can be readily seen what an important element of our national wealth is to be found in these animals. ST. LOUIS WORLD'S FAIR The Managers in Danger of Being Swamped by Applications for Space. DEMAND THUS FAR IS UNPRECEDENTED. Several of the Big Exhibit Palaces are Already Choked with Prospective Exhibits, and Still the Cry Comes From Every Hand for Increased Space. St. Louis, May 22.—It is now fully realized by the management of the World's fair that the exposition is not large enough by one-half to comply with the applications for exhibit space, although twice the area of the World's Columbian exposition. Department chiefs state that the demand is unprecedented in the history of expositions. Some of the exhibit palaces are even now figuratively choked with prospective installations from every part of the world. Foreign governments are increasing their requests for space, instead of cutting down, as they have been requested to do by the management. An instance is the recent diplomatic maneuver by which the visiting Japanese royal commission secured more space than any European government. Commissioner General Lewald, representing the kaiser, and Commissioner General Lagrave, representing France, have heard of the Japanese move and have now demanded an increase. The Japanese accession was obtained under protest. Neither Lewald nor Lagrave has yet protested, but what they intend to do unless Japan is cut down is a problem with which the exhibit division is wrestling. There is hourly fear lest some of the other European governments join in the cry for more space. The question which now agitates the division of exhibits is not the seeking of exhibits, but what to do with the tremendous mass with which it is threatened. Some time ago it was predicted that the orient was preparing to give the nations of the western hemisphere a surprise that would be lasting. The action of Japan is a move in this direction, and it is understood that when the Chinese imperial commissioner general arrives here shortly his request for space will shock the already perplexed officials of the exposition. Siam is preparing a correspondingly heavy demand. The Palace of Education is filled. The Palace of Agriculture is congested, on the face of the applications lying on the desk of its chief, who is industriously paring them down to fit the space at his command. The Transportation building was comfortably filled some time ago. The demand of France for 40,000 square feet for automobiles alone is an indication of how the vehicle industries are preparing to exhibit. President Loubet's fellow-citizens who make automobiles did not get their space, although they are still after it. THE CONFEDERATE REUNION. Enthusiastic Reception Recorded Gen. Joe Wheeler When He Entered the Hall Thursday. New Orleans, May 22.—Gen. S. E. Lee presided at the opening session of the Confederate reunion, in the absence of Gen. Gordon, who remained in his room to gain as much strength as possible for the ordeal of the parade Friday. The committee on credentials reported that there was a total of 1,523 camps represented at the reunion, with 2,423 properly accredited delegates. The report of the Battle Abbey committee was then offered by Gen. Evans. He had read but a few words when Gen. Joseph Wheeler came into the hall, and for a few minutes it was all over with the Battle Abbey report while the delegates cheered a welcome to the little commander. Gen. Wheeler, after reaching the rostrum, made a short address of thanks for the welcome that had been accorded him. He urged upon his hearers the necessity of providing for the needy and aged soldiers of the confederacy, suggesting that the best way to bring this about was through the various state legislatures. At the conclusion of Gen. Wheeler's speech Gen. Evans resumed the reading of the Battle Abbey report. He announced that the cash in hand and immediate prospect amounts of $204,471. The committee therefore recommended that as $200,000, the minimum amount desired for the erection of the abbey, had been secured, the time had arrived for the commencement of the work. The report was adopted. At the election of officers at the afternoon session Gen. Gordon was re-elected commander-in-chief, and all the department commanders, Generals Lee, Walker and Cabell, were unanimously re-elected. Wife Dead; Husband Dying. Kansas City, Mo., May 22—Fried Letty, a laborer, and his wife were found in their home at Independence, near here, early Thursday, with their throats cut. The woman was dead and Letty was in a dying condition and so weak from loss of blood that he could not talk. A bloody razor lay on the floor. Mrs. Letty had threatened suicide, and it is believed that after she had killed herself Letty tried to end his life. The couple were found by one of the children, three of whom had slept through the tragedy in an adjoining room. MISSOURI STATE NEWS. Threatened to Dynamite a Train. An effort has been made to extort 55,000 from the Burlington railway officials at St. Joseph under a threat to blow up with dynamite one of the fast mail trains running between Kansas City and Omaha. A decoy in the form of a bag filled with rocks was placed at a spot designated by the robbers, near the town of Watson. At midnight the form of a man was seen to approach the bag, but rapidly disappeared upon discovery of a posse lying in wait. He was captured by the officers, and proved to be J. H. Franklin, a young farmer. He declined to give the names of others who are supposed to be with him in the plot. Must Pay for Road Never Built. Judge Phillips of the federal court at Kansas City revived judgment for $61,000 against Cass county, rendered May 16, 1895. The judgment was secured by N. Helen Paramore, of Massachusetts, holder of 12 promissory notes of $1,000 each, bearing 10 per cent. interest from the time of their execution, February 1, 1871. The notes were given by the county to the Clinton & Kansas City branch of the Tebo & Neosho railroad, and were payable at the National Park bank of New York 20 years after date. The road was never built. Prisoners Jump From Train. Prisoners Joe Lain and Frank McCarty, in charge of Sheriff W. H. Shad and two deputies of Jackson, escaped from custody while en route from St. Louis to the penitentiary. The prisoners escaped at Bonnot Mill, where the passenger trainstopped for a few minutes. The men were handcuffed, but managed to slip the irons, and one went through a car window and the other the door just as the train pulled out. Negro Girl Murdered. Dode Kinyon, a 17-year-old colored girl, was found murdered near her home, eight miles northwest of Warrensburg. The girl had been missing since the day before, and was last seen in company with her sister's husband, Henry McNeely. The body was hidden in a brush pile. The murdered girl's throat was cut from ear to ear. McNeely is now missing. What St. Louis Shows. Typhoid fever statistics have been introduced by St. Louis in Chicago drainage canal hearing, showing that there has been an increase of deaths in St. Louis since the opening of canal, while there has been a decrease in cities above St. Louis, which take their water supply from the same source. He Knows Many People. Thomas Pritchard, the veteran clerk of the Laclede hotel, St. Louis, is seriously ill at the home of his sister, Mrs. N. P. Buck, of Waverly, Mr. Pritchard is widely known, and probably knows more public men in the state than any other man. Prof. Pannell Dead. Prof. F. Pannell, for 40 years teacher of music at Christian college, Columbia, and leader of the student band of the state university, died suddenly at his home at Columbia. He was 70 years of age, and leaves several children. Agitated Pastors. The question of waltzing is agitating the pastors of Dexter. They say it endangers morals. Some of the good people of Dexter believe there is a straight path "from the ball-room to hades." Woman Appointed Assessor. Gov. Dockery has appointed Mrs. Mary Marquis to be assessor of Lafayette county, vice George W. Marquis, deceased. Mrs. Marquis is the only female assessor in the state. Vegetarians' Views. The St. Louis Society of Vegetarians, at a recent meeting, discussed reforms in diet, advocating not only abstinence from meat foods, but less cooking of plant products. "The Jefferson." The new $2,000,000 hotel at Twelfth, Locust and St. Charles streets, St. Louis, will be named "The Jefferson." The structure will be completed by March next. River Settles a Law Suit. Martha E.

Could Stand Snakes, Not Whisky, Claude Clark, of Kansas City, who is said to be immune from snake bites, succumbed to St. Joseph whisky, and reported at point of death. The State of Terror of the Jews of Kishineff is Reflected in Other Localities. "POOR BRETHREN, WE MUST KILL YOU." The Alleged Greeting of Leaders of the Bands of Murderers on Entering the Dwellings of the Jews for the Purpose of Slaughtering the Inmates. Berlin, May 22.—The singular state of mind of the people of Kishineff, Bessarabia, while they were killing the Jews there, about a month ago, is described in a letter from a non-Jewish German of Odessa, received by the relief committee here. He said: "The leaders of the bands on entering Jewish dwellings often addressed the occupants good naturedly, saying: 'Roof brethren, we must kill you. It is so ordered.'" "Monstrous things were not done until robbers began to participate, and when they, with the Christian zealots, became intoxicated." The state of terror of the Jews at Kishineff, the latter adds, continues. A fresh massacre is expected there and the Jews of Odessa and of all the large towns of Bessarabia are living in hourly dread of death The writer of the letter then says: 'The excitement is intensified through proclamations distributed in the streets and the tone of the bitterly anti-semitic newspapers. The Russians say to their educated and tolerant countrymen, who urge keeping the peace: 'It's the czar's will that the Jews everywhere be treated as robbers. Orders have been given that we start again at Pentecost.' The situation has become all the worse since the important Russian papers have been prevented by the censorship from freely expressing opinions. Their behavior, almost without exception, has been excellent. Unless the government adopts a more energetic policy, the events at Kishineff will undoubtedly be repeated in other towns GETTING BACK AT CASSINI. A Pennsylvania Jurist Answers the Assertions of Count Cassini, the Russian Ambassador. Philadelphia, May 22.—Hon. Meyer Sulzberger, a distinguished member of the Pennsylvania judiciary, Thursday, in a statement to a press representative, replied to the assertions of Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, that the troubles in Kisheneff are due to an uprising of peasants against the money lenders. Judge Sulzberger said: "Count Cassini is confronted with the fact that there have been rapes and murders of women, horrible cruelty to babies and murder of unoffending men committed. His first instinct is to excuse the criminals and throw the blame on the victims. A man with that attitude of mind is not to be argued with. His real conviction, of course, is that common people have no rights, and that what happens to them is a matter of supreme indifference, since there are so many of them that he can easily spare a few thousand. It was the attitude of the French nobles before the revolution, and that it must be shared by a great many of his fellow nobles is proved by the fact that while all this massacre was occurring in Kischeneff and went on three days, five Russian regiments were quartered in the town. It is therefore, certain that the police and military departments permitted the massacre and are responsible for it. "Their responsibility is now assumed, and shared by all the people who think with Count Cassini. As regards his puerile remarks it is enough to say: "First, that the great bulk of the Jews of Russia are the poorest people in the world, and have no money to lend. "Second, that babies don't lend money. "Third, that murderous criminals are not usually borrowers. "On the other hand there have been known high officials living, lives of luxury and debauchery, who were in need of many thousand roubles and to whose depleted pocket proceeds of loot and the price of protection might bring a new lease of revelry. "No doubt, in the usual relations of life the count is a gentleman in his manners and practices, but, after all, he is a Russian nobleman. If he wants the opinion of an unprejudiced American commissioner let him read the report made to the United States government by Col. Weber and Dr. Walter Kempster, printed at the government printing office in 1892. There are in such passages as even a Russian nobleman would blush to have submitted to the women of the United States." Rogues' Gallery Revelation. Kansas City, Mo., May 22.—The rogues' gallery reveals the fact that the man supposed to have been George E. Spencer, who was killed in this city last week, while resisting arrest after he had shot and wounded a policeman, was in fact Tom Mannion, who was released from the Ohio penitentiary last year for his part in the $40,000 diamond robbery committed at Columbus, O., seven years ago. After being released from the Ohio institution Mannion went south. In Kansas City he was known as a clothing merchant from Birmingham, Ala. STATE ITEMS Biggest Chair in the World. The Union chair factory at Tell City, Ind., is turning out a large chair to be sent to the St. Louis World's fair. It is said the chair will be the largest in the world. It will be large enough for the company to have their office under the seat. The Union chair factory is one of the most unique in the United States. Every man working in the factory is a stockholder in the plant, and no one not willing to take stock in the factory is permitted to work there. The big chair is about completed and will be shipped to St. Louis soon. Negro Burglar Caught. The post office and general store conducted by J. H. Baird, at Centerview, six miles west of Warrensburg, was broken into and robbed at night of considerable cash and goods. The robbery was reported to the police at Warrensburg, and the marshal and a constable captured a negro, who gave his name as James Kinman and his home St. Louis. He had on his person almost the entire amount of money stolen from the post office and part of the clothes from the store. He will be held for the federal authorities at Kansas City. Exidently Sound Sleepers. While Henry Strutmann and his family slept on the second floor, the first floor of their home, No. 400 East Davis street, St. Louis, was visited by fire and burglar, which fact was not known to the occupants of the building until Strutmann finished his breakfast and went downstairs to open his barroom. The first floor is occupied as a saloon and was damaged $800 to contents and $100 to the building. How the fire started and subsided is a problem the police are trying to solve for the astonished proprietor. Advancing in Civilization. The juvenile court in St. Louis is caring for cases and not "disposing" of them. Youthful offenders are given a handshake by the judge, a lecture, and told to go and try again to be good. This is quite different from the old way of penning boys up with old criminals or young girls with the toughest of the tough. Yes, we are advancing in civilization. Rev. Conrad Damm. Rev. Conrad Damm, a retired Lutheran minister, died at his home in St. Charles, from consumption, aged 65. Deceased was born at Erxdorf, Germany, and graduated for the ministry from Concordia seminary, St. Louis, in 1867.

Promoter Sued for Divorce. Walter Vrooman, the promoter of several socialistic schemes, which have failed, is defendant in a divorce suit brought by his wife, at Kansas City, who is said to have invested a quarter of a million dollars in his enterprises. To Advance the Butler Case. A motion has been filed to advance the case of Edward Butler, of St. Louis, convicted of attempt to bribe, so that a decision can be reached before the summer adjournment of the Missouri supreme court. Their Marriage Evidently a Failure. Their Marriage Evidently a Failure. Benj. T. Delafield and wife, of Webster Groves, are about to air their matrimonial miseries in court. He charges cruelty and she says for years he would not allow her at the same table with him. Kelley in Canada. Daniel J. Kelley, who is in Quebec, Can., is chiefly occupied with avoiding interviews with newspaper men. He has engaged counsel in preparation for a possible attempt to force his return to St. Louis.

The dead: Williama Olson, 13 years old. Peter Olson. Of the injured none is fatally hurt. The house in which the Olsens lived was demolished completely, and the body of the boy was found 30 rods from where the house had stood. The wind carried the farm house occupied by Nels Olsenburg a distance of five rods. Miss Christine Olsenburg saw the storm coming, and escaped from the house a half minute before it was carried away. A terrific rain storm followed the cyclone. At Bridgeport, in this county, hail fell continuously for 20 minutes, doing immense damage to wheat. At Elwood, Ind., the storm did damage to the extent of $20,000. The new car barns being built by the Union Traction Co. were destroyed by fire caused by lightning. No loss of life has been so far reported. TORNADO STRIKES HODGMAN. House Destroyed Near Kinsley and Girl Killed.

May 22.—This place and a large portion of the country were laid waste Thursday evening at five o'clock by a cyclone. The damage will be immense, and it is considered miraculous that no lives were lost. So far as now known nobody was killed and none in Ashland injured severely. It is reported from the country districts that some were fatally injured. The indications are that the storm was worse in the country than in town. The business section of Ashland was not damaged to any great extent. The residence portion suffered most. The homes of J. P. Campbell, M. G. Stevenson C. B. Nunemacher, J. A. Van Orsdell, W. L.

J. Kent, the great operator, paused slowly up and down his room, but never missed an examination of the tape as it escaped from the chattering ticker, by an interval exceeding half a minute. As the hour of two approached, the little machine became furious in its efforts to keep pace with the operations of the sweating, swearing and struggling brokers, two blocks away. Mr. Kent let the tape slide through his fingers and read a record which translated was as follows: 3,000 shares Sugar $149\frac{1}{2}-2,200$ Sugar 149—4,000 Sugar $148\frac{1}{2}-700$ B. & O. $107\frac{1}{2}-1,100$ B. & O. $107-2,800$ B. & O. $106\frac{1}{2}-500$ B. & O. $106-3,200$ St. Paul 171—4,000 St. Paul $170-500$ St. Paul 170—3,000 St. Paul $169\frac{1}{2}-1,400$ Metropolitan $173\frac{1}{2}-900$ Metropolitan $172\frac{1}{2}-1,000$ Metropolitan $171\frac{1}{2}-4,000$ Jersey Central $159\frac{1}{2}-80$ Jersey Central $158\frac{1}{2}-1,700$ Jersey Central $158-55$ Jersey Central $158\frac{1}{2}-2,400$ Sugar $147\frac{1}{2}-800$ Sugar 147. Mr. Kent stepped to his private telephone. "Who is selling that Sugar?" he asked his broker. "Street & Rogers are selling most of it now. Brokers for Morris & Hanser of Boston, and Wright & Fanning of Chicago have also been selling it. These houses have been selling St. Paul, Jersey Central, Baltimore & Ohio, Metropolitan, Steel and Iron and other stocks," was the prompt answer. "I advised the office of it some time ago." "Who is the selling for?" "No one seems to know." "What do Haven's brokers say?" "They seem to be up in the air. They are still buying Sugar." "All right. Good-bye." Mr. Kent called up Mr. Haven, the great sugar magnate. "What in the devil is the matter with your Sugar stock?" he demanded. "I don't know," was the response. "It's all right. I am buying it as fast as it is offered. What is it now?" Mr. Kent examined the tape. "One hundred and forty-eight and a quarter," he replied. "It has been down to 146% but has recovered some. Who is doing that selling?" "Sure I don't know," answered Mr. Haven with some impatience. "Probably some one taking profits. It will go up again." "All right. Thank you. Good-bye." Mr. Kent studied the tape for a few moments. The market was steadyying. The public was obeying the mandate. "buy on every ```markdown ``` reaction." Mr. Kent pondered deeply. He rang a bell. "How much Sugar have I bought?" he demanded of his private book-keeper. "Forty-three thousand shares," was the reply. "It will average about 142, will it not?" The bookkeeper produced a slip of paper, ran his eye over the figures, made a rapid calculation, and said that the average price paid for this line of Sugar stock was 142%. "Very well; that is all," Mr. Kent said. He called up his broker who represented him on the floor of the Stock Exchange. "Sell all the Sugar you can without breaking the market," he commanded in a voice that could not be heard ten feet away. Wall Street is all ears. "There is good buying just now. Begin on 500 share lots. Feel them out at the start, but keep busy. Sell at least 50,000 shares before you close, no matter what happens. When you have sold 20,000 shares, offer it in 1,000, 2,000 and 3,000 lots. The broker repeated the order quickly so as there could be no mistake. Mr. Kent returned to the ticker. "Some one taking profits, eh?" muttered Mr. Kent as he paced the floor, nervously chewing the end of an unlighted cigar. "I'll show them how to take profits! They must think I am in my second childhood. They have an idea I am going to hold the bag, do they? This is the way they keep their agreement!" He rang the bell furiously. "How much B. & O. have I?" "Fifteen thousand shares at an average of 83." was the reply. "Wire Brown & Addy of Boston, to sell me 20,000 B. & O. at the market. Send word to Blake & Co. of Chicago, to sell me 25,000 St. Paul at the market. Rush! hurry!" He was at the private telephone again. "How much Sugar have you sold?" "Twenty-two thousand. It has broken a point and a half." "That's all right. Put it out in 2,000 and 3,000 lots. Sell me 30,000 shares of Metropolitan at the market. Got it? That's right. Good-bye." The ticker was singing like a sewing machine. Sugar, B. & O., St. Paul, Jersey Central, Metropolitan, Steel and Iron and other stocks came out in blocks of from 1,000 to 4,000 and even 5,000 lots. But the market held remarkably well. There was "not a cloud in the sky," and the public was sunning itself. But even their guileless optimism could not withstand the impact of the mysterious interest which had been selling hundreds of thousands of shares on Saturday and during the present session, reinforced as it was by the enraged Mr. Kent, who ascribed this selling to the perfidy of his associates. When the day's battle was over the field was covered with dead and wounded. Sugar had closed at 145½ bid and 146 asked. Baltimore and Ohio had dropped to 105½; St. Paul to 167½; Metropolitan to 170; Jersey Central to 158½; and Steel and Iron showed a net loss for the day of three points, and an extreme drop from its high point at the opening of nearly nine points. When Mr. Kent had received reports from his brokers, and telegraphic advices from Boston, Chicago and Baltimore, he found that he had sold 55,000 shares of Sugar and that all of his other commissions had been executed. He had accomplished one of the phenomenal changes of position for which he was famous and dreaded. In a hundred offices his name was mentioned, coupled with expressions which would not warrant reproduction on these pages. He quietly talked the situation over with his lieutenants, instructed them to "smash" the market at the opening next morning, and with an unruffled mien left his office shortly before four o'clock. CHAPTER V. THE WALL STREET PANIC. What happened on this famous Tuesday has been lightly touched on in the opening chapter of this history. The morning papers had devoted considerable space to the "bear flurry" in Wall street. There were guarded allusions to the coup performed by Mr. Kent, who had conducted his operations with little attempt to disguise his attitude. His profits were variously estimated at from $750,000 to $3,000,000, and it was strongly intimated that he would live to regret the unwarranted scare he had precipitated. On the following Tuesday morning London ignored the New York break in prices and opened strong. Chicago and the speculative west looked on its splendid crops and telegraphed buying orders in generous volume. The galleries around the trading floor of the Exchange were crowded with the sight-seers who are always in force when the market is excited. The hand of the big clock slowly approached the hour of ten. The thousand or more brokers gravitated towards the various standards which bore the names of the important trading stocks. The market opened strong and at a slight advance in spite of large offerings of stock by Kent brokers and from Street & Rogers—acting for their unknown principals—the market held its own the first half hour. It was at this time that vague and portentious rumors were circulated on the floor, and whispered over telephones. These rumors were greeted with general incredulity, but the effect on the market was apparent from the time the first suspicion was breathed. London, Chicago and other speculative centers continued buying and selling, uncon- scious of the shadow which was now darkening the street. The storm broke at 11 o'clock. The yellow slips distributed by a news agency contained the following paragraph in double-leadet type: "11:05 a. m. Andrus Carmody, Palmer J. Morton, R. J. Kent and Simon Pence cannot be found. They were last seen in Mr. Morton's offices about four o'clock yesterday afternoon. Their relatives know nothing of their whereabouts. The police and detective force have been notified." A message of similar purport was recorded on the tape. Any description of the scenes which followed on the floor of the Stock Exchange would be deemed exaggeration by those who never have seen a speculative panic sweep all before it. The tempest was loosed. Before its fury the sturdy financial oaks bent in the blast. The puny speculative saplings were uprooted and borne away on the wings of the cyclone. Staid old men who had not been seen on the floor of the exchange for months, rushed hatless through the streets and hurled themselves into the crazy mob. The 60 acres of the financial district was a Bedlam. Men tore papers from the hands of newsboys and rushed away without paying for them. The wildest rumors, if of evil purport, became certainties. The word went down the street that a great bank had closed its doors. There was no fragment of truth in the statement, but it was accepted as an unquestioned fact. It was charged that the great enterprises in which Carmody, Pence and Morton were concerned were insolvent, and that these men were in secret conference, endeavoring to arrange a compromise with creditors. Mr. Kent was regarded as the speculator who had been intrusted with this news, and commissioned to use it to recoup some of the losses. The evening papers were flooding the city with extras. The news was so stupendous as to confound the genius of the designers of headlines. There was neither space nor type sufficient to depict their emotions. But the imagination of the reporters was equal to the crisis. In bewildering succession the millionaires HE BLEW HIS BRAINS OUT. were kidnapped, lured away and murdered by anarchists; had committed suicide, or reposed safely in the bosom of their families. At one o'clock Sugar had dropped 25 points, Baltimore & Ohio 18 points, St. Paul 14 points, Metropolitan 32 points, Jersey Central 17 points and Steel and Iron 21 points. The stocks in which the missing men were not known to be interested withstood the shock with smaller losses, but the whole list was mutilated almost beyond recognition. The news had reached London too late to permit English operators to cover in that market, and the cables bore the tales of their dilemma. Shortly after one o'clock brokers in the employ of Street & Rogers jumped into the market as buyers. In the first hour of the session, before the break came, it was estimated that they had sold not less than 300,000 shares, and Kent, brokers had sold fully 100,000 more. The total sales for the first hour reached the unprecedented total of 1,280,000 shares. From 11 until 1 o'clock the representatives of Street & Rogers did nothing. They then began to take some of the stock as it was offered. They became the center of riots. Men fought like friends to sell them stock. In spite of their support the offerings were so numerous that prices still declined. They bought Sugar in 10,000 and 20,000 share lots. In an hour Street & Rogers had covered 600,000 shares. Two papers appeared with extras containing a dispatch from Philadelphia stating that Messrs. Morton, Carmody, Pence and Kent were in conference at the Hotel Lafayette. It related with great explicitness that they were considering the details of a gigantic railroad combination, and the article contained a brief interview with Mr. Morton in which he refused to discuss the objects of the meeting, but regretted that the public should have become alarmed at the secrecy which had been deemed necessary. The same news was spread through the brokerage and commission houses by the news agencies and came out on the tape. The effect was electrical. The market rose by jumps and bounds. Every one seemed rushing to cover, but the spurt was short-lived. When the market had advanced an average of ten points, Street & Rogers and Boston and Chicago interests turned heavy sellers. They threw the stock they had accumulated at the bottom figures right and left. They found plenty of purchasers. The Philadelphia dispatch was so good it must be true. It sounded natural, and was a logical reason for the absence of these men. At two o'clock the market was firm and slowly advancing notwithstanding the vast offerings from Street & Rogers. At 2:30 Wall street was growing optimistic. It regarded the selling as profit-taking, and bought with confidence. Sugar rose to within seven points of the opening figure. Then came the final disaster. It was announced that John M. Rockwell, the great capitalist, and Hiram Haven, the sugar magnate also were missing. Simultaneously, word was received from Philadelphia that none of the gentlemen mentioned had been at the Hotel Lafayette, and that the dispatch was bogus, having been sent out by a commission house which took this method to recoup some of its losses. In the crash which followed several houses went to the wall. Their holdings were thrown on the market. Sugar dropped an extreme 40 points. Other securities suffered in proportion. A man stood in the middle of Broad street and blew his brains out. Staid old investment stocks which had regularly paid dividends for years dropped five points between quotations. Sugar fell 11 points on a sale of 400 shares, and did not steady itself for ten minutes, during which time it was worth $35.00 a share less than it had been those few minutes before. Once more it was Street & Rogers to the rescue. For two days they had been selling on good news and buying on bad news. Again their brokers stood in the breach and bought Sugar, B. & O., St. Paul, Jersey Central, Metropolitan and Steel and Iron from men who seemed willing to give it away. When the gong sounded at three o'clock, the signal that this awful day was ended on the Stock Exchange, these brokers were yet surrounded by swarms of men frantic in their efforts to sell stocks at any prices. It was midnight before the lights went out in the offices of Street & Rogers, Scores of haggard men arranged private settlements on terms which would permit them to remain solvent. The profits of the unknown principals or syndicate represented by Street & Rogers, of New York, Morris & Hauser, of Boston, and Wright & Fanning, of Chicago, were conservatively estimated at $24,000,000. The members of the firm of Street & Rogers gave out no figures and refused to name the men they were representing. They stated that they had considered the market overbought, and had sold stocks in anticipation of a natural reaction. The unexpected bad news had found them in a situation from which they could not help reaping an enormous advantage. They had simply taken profits on the various movements of the market, and did not share the apprehensions of those who feared for the safety of the missing men. Mr. Street declared that prices were too low at the closing figures, even if it were known that the worst had happened. Intrinsic values could not be permanently affected by the fate of individuals, and he advised buying on any further declines. Thus closed the most memorable day in the history of Wall street. [To Be Continued.] THE TIGER WAS PLEASED. Rubbed with a Wet Sponge an Untamed Jungle Monarch Lets an Ignorant Cossack Escape. A Cossack, ignorant of the French language and equally ignorant of fear, was recently hired at Moscow by the lion tamer Pezon to clean the cages of his wild beasts. Their understanding, or misunderstanding, was arranged by means of gestures and dumb show, and Pezon thought that the man thoroughly understood what he had to do, relates a London paper. The net morning the Tartar began his new duties by entering with bucket, sponge and broom, not the cage of a tame beast, as his master had done, but of a splendid untamed tiger, which lay asleep on the floor. The fierce animal awoke and fixed its eyes upon the man, who calmly proceeded to wet his large sponge, and, unterrified, to rub down the tiger as if it had been a horse or a dog; while the tiger, apparently delighted by the application of cold water, rolled over on its back, stretched out its paws, and purring, offered every part of its body to the Cossack, who washed it as complacently as a mother bathes her infant. Then he left the cage, and would have repeated the hazardous experiment upon another savage beast from the desert had not Pezon drawn him off with difficulty. Turnip Time. "It's disgraceful the way children are taught!" she began, with a painful disregard of tact and diplomacy. "Their studies are so jumbled together that they don't know when they have finished with arithmetic and taken up geography. The other day Bessie came home and said that the teacher had stopped in the middle of a singing lesson, right in the middle of a song, to ask how many turnips were in a peek." "You must be mistaken," excused the astonished principal. "No, ma'am. Bessie told me, and Bessie never lies," said Bessie's mother, with a complacency that irritated the atmosphere. The teacher was sent for. She denied that she had interrupted the music lesson to satisfy her curiosity in regard to turnips and pecks. She went back with unkindly feelings, but three minutes later she returned, smiling. "I know now what she meant," said she. "I asked the children how many beats there were in a measure."—Louison Answers.

The wheels were first basted carefully on the muslin blocks, then the blocks were distributed among the ladies of the society with the request that they whip the edges of the wheels with red silk thread—which was given out with the blocks—and secure names enough to fill the white spaces in the wheel, the charge for each name to be ten cents. When all the blocks were finished and sewed together, a good penman was chosen to write the names on each block as handed in, the name of the maker of the block being placed in the center and the other names between the spokes. This was done with indelible ink. We realized $58 in this way and sold the quilt for ten dollars, thus making $68.—Farmers' Review. Sweeping Off the Cobwebs. Sweeping In the nursery tales the famous old woman who is creident with the desire to "sweep the cobwebs off the sky" was armed with a broom, and in the household realm the broom has long been recognized as the most effective medium for dusting the walls and sweeping the obnoxious cobweb from its lofty resting place, says the Brooklyn Eagle. An experienced housewife living in a country town, however, states that in this advanced age walls and woodwork are best dusted with a long-handled window brush covered with canton flannel. "The brush not being in such frequent demand as the broom," she says, "can be put away with its cover on, and is always ready for an emergency in the shape of a cobweb." UNIQUE PANTRY DOOR. An Idea That Is Worth Imitating in Houses Where Things Have to Be "Crowded." Not having any too much room in my pantry, which was originally a hall cupboard, I utilized the door in the manner shown. The smaller articles have tacks as hangers, for the larger ones small hooks are better. These can be bought for a few cents per dozen, and do not damage the wood as does a nail. The ring by which the chopping bowl hangs (on the lower part of the door), was formerly on a window shade, but was found to be just the thing for this purpose. The lids are held in place by fine wire stretched across the panel to small tacks driven in the edge of the molding. The little pocket above the stewpan holds my bread tickets, for living is high in this town, and we find that bread for two is cheaper bought than made. Above this is a sheet of cardboard, which I call my fruit list. I may tell of it in another article. Just below the gem pan is a little book made of writing paper, in which I write my tested recipes that have proved worth a second trial. Just below this a thick pad with pencil attached which receives jottings of things needed in the home. The cardboard sheet below the grater has a memorandum of weights UPPER PART OF PANTRY DOOR. and measures, which I find handy in following some recipes. When the pantry door is closed all this is out of the way, and out of sight. I much prefer this plan to that of having everything in the kitchen. Of course, it would not do for a person who does not keep the black washed off the utensils. I rarely put any utensil save my teakettle over an open stove hole, so have no trouble in keeping everything immaculate—American Agriculturist. Exercising the Memory. Don't let your memory fail; hold on to it tenaciously. Determine where you are most deficient, and exercise it in that respect. You can do it at any odd time; while you are walking, riding, resting after a day's work, or listening perforce to a dull speaker. Don't let a few failures discourage you; the long corridors of recollection, lined upon both sides with valuable material, will be opened for you because of your importunity, if you use it—N. Y.

HOME-MADE BOXING KANGAROO 8 SOME years ago a boxing kangaroo appeared in the theaters with immense success. Here is one that you can make for yourself and that costs nothing to feed. He is cut out of thin paper covered with tinfoil on the side away from the spectators and hung by the neck to a sort of gallows, as the picture shows. The human boxer may be made of cardboard. His invisible side is also covered with tinfoil and down one of his legs runs a wire, the end of which is pressed into a lump of wax or sealing wax on a wooden platform. Neither the wire nor the boxer's other foot should touch the floor. To this wire is attached a long fine wire, which ends in a nail driven into a cork. The cork is fitted into the end of a glass tube (a lamp chimney, for example) which is held in the hand and rubbed with a silk handkerchief or a bit of fur. Now the fun begins. The kangaroo springs forward, hits his antagonist, is violently repelled as if by a blow, returns for the charge, and so the combat goes on as long as you rub the tube. This is an electrical trick, you see. The electricity produced by rubbing the glass is conveyed by the wire to the human boxer. He is therefore electrified and consequently attracts the light swinging kangaroo, which promptly comes forward and hits him. But as it does so the kangaroo itself becomes charged with electricity, and is therefore repelled, and stays away until its electricity leaks off over the cotton thread around its neck, when it makes a fresh attack. It is an amusing plaything and easy to make, says the Brooklyn Eagle. The glass and the handkerchief should be warmed over the register or before the fire to make them perfectly dry. YOUTHS' DEPARTMENT Clever Little Hammerhead Builds Regular Apartment House in Wilds of Africa. A great many other birds build very elaborate nests or houses, but none seem to have acted with quite the same modern architectural spirit is the hammerhead. Most birds, too, are content with providing warmth and shelter for their little ones, without having any care for themselves; but our bird seems much more civilized than that. It is not a very large bird—not more than 12 inches in length; yet it builds a house nearly ten feet long, and lays it out in rooms! It selects a sheltered ledge of rock when possible, sometimes choosing a spot almost inaccessible to man, but sometimes building also on the open plain. The structure is half as wide A HAMMERHEAD NEST. as it is long, and has a domed top, as if the feathered architect knew that the arch is the strongest possible shape, the walls are built of twigs, interwoven firmly and filled in with clay; and so substantially is the work done that, when completed, a heavy man may walk over it without injuring it in the least. The house is built on a slightly inclined surface, and the door is placed at the lower end in order that the floods of rain which fall in the country may not pour into the dwelling. The doorway is the smallest opening possible for the bird to enter, and is frequently so disguised that it is no easy matter to discover it, even though you may have first seen the bird dart through it. The outer doorway opens into a small ante-chamber, which leads through a small entrance into a larger room, which in its turn opens by a doorway into a spacious apartment raised one step above the floor of the other chambers and carpeted with soft leaves and velvety moss. In the last and choicest apartment the mother bird lays from three to five snow-white eggs; and there the little birds first peep forth from their shells.—St. Nicholas. Great Yellowstone Falls.

He Has Learned So Many Tricks That He Might Almost Be a Circus Performer. In Jamaica, New York, there lives a very clever little fox terrier dog who might almost be a circus performer, so many tricks has he learned. But his "star performance" is one in which he shares the honors with a tiny Maltese kitten. In fact, it is really the kitten that is the "star." The kitten is dressed in doll's clothes, and submits. with much grace while the buttons are fastened and the strings tied. Then the fox terrier is told to "sit up," which he does, without delay, balancing himself on his haunches. Then the kitten baby is laid in his "arms," and both keep perfectly still till the command is given: "Kiss the baby gently." Then the doggie bends over and kisses kitty. Kitty does not like this a bit, but she submits with good grace, only flattening her ears to show her disapproval. The minute the kitty baby is undressed he shows her much less gallantry, for, with a joyous bark, he starts to chase her, and the little bundle of fur leads him a dance all over the house, stopping now and then to arch her back and spit at him furiously.—Cheininnati Enquirer. LATEST MOUSE TRAP Any Boy Can Construct One and Thereby Leave the Old Family Cat Without Occupation. Years ago cats had a value all their own, according to their ability to rid a house or barn of the rats and mice which infested these buildings, but with the introduction of the automatic trap, the felines may possibly have been the authors of the exclamation recently attributed to the horse when the automobile made its appearance: "My occupation is gone!" However, the cats still have the consolation of being retained as pets, with an occasional mouse as a secondary consideration. The trap has come to stay, and goes on dealing out death to the rodents with as much regularity and faithful- TANK AUTOMATIC MOUSE TRAP. ness as the cat was wont to exercise in former times. We show herewith the latest idea in the trap line, which comes to us all the way from Cape Colony. This device is to be suspender from the pantry shelf, and has an opening leading across what looks to be a perfectly safe path to the bait inside the cage. But woe to the mouse or rat which attempts to reach that bait, for the path turns out to be a tilted platform, which at the proper moment swings on its pivots, releases itself, and slides the animal into the water tank beneath. The picture shows the trap doing its cruel work.—Milwaukee, Sentinel. Gen. Eugene Griffin has in his possession the American flag made by the sailors in Lient.

"And I said, This is my infirmity; but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High." Psalm 77:10. I'm tired to-night, dear Lord, Thou know-est all; My faith is weak, my power to serve is small; My soul refuses to be comforted; I seem as one in doubt and darkness led; My working eyes feel not the touch of eyes.

So hopeless that I say it o'er and o'er: "Will the dear Lord be favorable no more?" Will every promise He has given fail? And never more a prayer of mine prevail?

TRUE MEEKNESS Is That Virtue by Which a Man Is Enabled to Accept Honest Criticism and Correction. One of the weakest traits of any person is to be unwilling to accept honest criticism and correction. From the foolish child who will never listen to parental authority, on to the foolish man who will never listen to rebuke or reason, pride always goeth before a fall. Honest criticism is often a bitter dose to swallow, but most tonics are bitter, and we are the stronger for taking them down bravely. "If I am censured," said that godly man, Bishop Griswold, "then let me correct, but never justify, my faults." A minister with more zeal than discretion once called on the bishop and belabored him with rather a harsh denunciation. Instead of showing the man out of the door, the bishop calmly replied: "My dear friend, I do not wonder that they who witness the inconsistencies in my daily conduct should think that I have no religion. I often fear this myself, and I feel very grateful to you for giving me this warning." This reply was made in such unaffected meekness and sincerity that the visitor at once begged the bishop's pardon and always regarded him afterward as one of the most Christian-like Christians he had ever known. He is doubly the fool who not only flings himself into a pit, but resents the friendly hand that tries to help him out of it. Another evidence of the might of meekness is that it enables a man to rein in an unruly temper. He that ruleth his own spirit is better than he that taketh a city. I do not know a better definition of this grace than was given by a negro had in a mission school when the missionary asked: "Who are the meek?" and the boy answered: "They are the people who give soft answers to rough questions." This sort of meekness is quite too rare. When our house takes fire, the first impulse is to bring a bucket of water. But when temper takes fire the first impulse with too many is to throw on more fuel. Angry, resentful speech is explosive and shattering; it often breaks what never can be mended. Silence is cooling; it cools us off and cools also our assailants. One of the meekest men I ever knew told me that he had naturally a most violent and passionate temper, but he had subdued it by resolutely bridling his tongue until he had cooled down. There was an infinite sublimity in the conduct of our meek and adorable Master, when, amid all the insults of His brutal enemies He who might have laid them all dead at His feet, only with majestic silence "held His peace!" The more that you and I have of the Spirit of our Lord, the more shall we display the irresistible might of meekness.—T. L. Cuyler, D. D. A certain woman was greatly beloved by everyone in the village where she lived. She was not blessed with a great amount of this world's goods, but she was always being of service to somebody. In reply to the question: "Why do you work so hard for other people?" she would say: "Oh, I just try to help along." It is ust such helpers that make the world a place worth living in—Wellspring. As by Fire. Fire finds out everything that is inflammable and consumes it; so the Holy Spirit burns up everything that is impure. Nothing escapes His ordeal. In the proportion in which He is in the soil, sin is burned out of it.—William M. Taylor. FROM DEAN FARRAR. Thoughts to Which the Eminent Preacher Gave Expression in His Books and Sermons. Civilization is but a secular phrase for Christianity itself. Great principles find their proper issue in the faithful performances of little duties. The lesson of the inherent sacredness of humanity was effectively taught by Christianity alone. Christianity is larger, wiser, purer, truer and deeper than the best words of its holiest interpreters. God's treasury, wherein we must cast our gifts, needs every mite as well as every talent we possess. Sincerity and charity are as the life blood in the veins of the church, of which Christ is the Head and Heart. True friendship is an attribute of virtue and righteousness, and can only be cemented between high and noble minds. The good may, the bad man must miss it. We cannot serve God and mammon; if we follow Christ in anything but in name, we must sit loose to the world and the world's interests; we must be content, if need be, with the beatitudes of poverty and persecution. A saint is one who makes his religion absolutely and inflexibly, and in a way little familiar to his generation, the rule of his whole life; and who, with a perfect absence of all self-consciousness, does this in such a manner as to seize the imagination and influence the character of his own and of other generations. Do not be troubled, if, in spite of all that thou triest to do, the times are out of joint; and things go wrong, and thou seemst to do no good. God made the world, not thou. He has patience, shouldest not thou have patience? Even thy poor good deeds cannot die. If they seem at first to yield no fruit, they shall still be as seeds shut up in the darkness of a sepulcher, and when they are taken from the hands of time, years afterwards, it may be, they shall rise in golden grain. Be it little, be it much. God will accept thy honest offering. Deeply, I fear, does this age need to take to heart the stern, inexorable necessity of self-conquest—not in self-torture, but in earnest watchfulness; not in extreme fasting, but in habitual careful moderation; not in morbid self-introspection, but in thorough and vigorous occupation; not in enfeebling the body by maceration, but by filling its hours of work with strenuous and cheerful activity and its hours of leisure with bright thoughtfulness and many a silent prayer; by these blessed means we, too, even in the midst of the world, may attain to the spirit which is dead to the world; we may be keeping under our body and bringing it into subjection; nay, in no mere formula, but in truthful figure, be "crucified with Christ." TRANSFIGURING EXPERIENCE. Nothing So Emancipates a Life Like a Whole-Hearted Response to the Call of Duty. There is nothing that so emancipates and transfigures human experience of life like a whole hearted response to the call of a great duty. Under its pressure our thoughts and desires are unified, and the will becomes effective. We "find ourselves," and all our energies are put forth to the best advantage. A father becomes conscious that somehow, within a day or two, his boy has become a man. He feels in talking with the lad that a different tone than he formerly used has become proper, that the boy is looking upon life out of different eyes and upon a different horizon. If he could look into the lad's soul he would be almost certain to find that one thing was the explanation of the change. Some kind of a call has come to the youth which he has recognized as higher than any other he had ever known. It has lifted him above the things that he used to care for most; it has widened his outlook and unified his powers. He is no longer drifting but steering. But such experiences, says the Boston Watchman, are not limited to adolescence. Most of us in mature years can recall them. We passed through some great temptation unscathed; we caught a vision of spiritual truth; the Providence of life laid upon us some duty that we could not escape. And we feel that in some mysterious way our lives have been lifted, like the ship in the lock, to a new level. Those are experiences that are best worth having, and the pain and cost of responding worthily to them are instantly made up to us in inner peace and strength. A Good Name. Such a name is better than "great riches." Its money value is wealth. Its character value is beyond estimate. He who has a large balance to his credit in the confidence, the affection and sympathies of his fellow-men, is far richer than one whose name is worth just so many dollars. In the one case, the money is the basis of confidence. In the other, the man. To get a fortune and keep a good name, is surely better than riches without a good name. But now and then there are cases where men preserve their integrity and yet do not achieve financial success. Misfortune may pursue them or they may lack business judgment; fire or storm may keep a man's losses up with his gains and he may die poor, even though bearing a good name. What have we to say of such a one? Why, just what Scripture says: "A good name is better than precious ointment." Riches are temporal, but character is eternal—Earl Cranston. REEBE W.

Whereupon, O King Agrippin, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision. 20. But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and then to them of all the coasts of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. 21. For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me. 22. Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: 23. That Christ should suffer, and that He should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people. 24. And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. 25. But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. 26. And seeing king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely; for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner. 27. King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. 28. Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuaded me to be a Christian, but I did not. God thou not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Our attention has been called to the fact that when on trial Paul always endeavored to do more than secure his own acquittal; he sought to preach the Gospel at the same time to his judges and hearers. This he did when addressing the mob from the steps of the castle Antonia, when he was being examined by Felix, and now we shall see how uppermost that thought was when he was brought before Agrippa. Such an exhibition of zeal for Christ ought to thrill, shame and inspire. Two years have passed since our last lesson, and Paul is still a prisoner at Caesarea. Felix, the Roman governor of the province of Judea, has just been recalled and Festus appointed as his successor. This lesson opens with the arrival of Festus. The leading men among the Jews tried to take advantage of the new governor and his unfamiliarity with the case, and have Paul brought to Jerusalem again, at the same time plotting to kill him by the way. Fortunately for Paul, Festus preferred to try the case at his own capital. When the trial came, the Jews proved nothing but their own venomous hatred. This Felix knew well enough, but yet he was his governor, and did not want to gain their ill-will at the very beginning of his term, and so finally suggested another trial at Jerusalem. Paul knew only too well what that would mean, and to avoid falling into the hands of the Jews, he appealed to Caesar. It was the lesser of two evils. Here for the third time in Acts is told the story of Paul's conversion, and the tremendous impression made upon him by his vision of the risen Lord. "Wherefore:" Referring to the revelation of verses 12-18. "Repent and turn to God, doing works:" No repentance that does not result in a genuine turning of the whole life to God is of any value. Faith that does not include works is dead. "Saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses did say should come:" Paul claims that he has not forsaken Judaism, but that Christianity is the fulfillment and completion of Judaism. "The Christ must suffer:" A truth not believed by the Jews, and yet one which Paul says was taught in their Scriptures. "Paul, thou art mad:" The Roman governor could not understand Paul's enthusiasm over the alleged resurrection of Jesus. Ramsay paraphrases his explanation thus: "Paul, Paul, you are a great philosopher, but you have no common sense"—the natural view for one not knowing the faith and hope of the Jews. "The king knoweth: Agrippa would never have said what Festus did, for he knew the Messianic hope of the Jews, as well as the facts of the life of Christ and the spread of Christianity. "Believest thou the prophets:" Agrippa did not answer, but turned the question off with a light sneer that probably raised a laugh among the gay courtiers who thronged the hall. It was all he could do, for he was not willing to face the truth. The revised version probably gives the true interpretation, which amounts, to this: "You think it's an easy matter to make a Christian of me!" This was not a regular trial, for the appeal to Caesar had taken the case out of the hands of the local authorities. Paul seems to have been bringing the truth too close home to the king, and so the hearing was cut short and the brilliant assemblage filed out of the hall, but the impression Paul had made on them was decidedly favorable. PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS Be not yourself disobedient to the heavenly light. The risen Jesus has often appealed to you. Show your obedience to Christ, both by accepting Him and then by laboring for the salvation of others. If you are His disciple, Christ has chosen you for special work. Find out what that work is. Iron bonds are better than the deceptive liberty of the wicked. Patria was Christ's free man, though bound. A Wheeling man is a member of 15 secret orders. He is also insane. Photographs of Animals. Among the scientific applications of photography, the value of which has recently been pointed out, is the study of the natural attitudes of birds and other animals, through instantaneous photographs of them. It is averred that very erroneous impressions are often conveyed, even in scientific treatises, through the incorrect and sometimes impossible attitudes in which animals are represented. Not only could such errors be avoided, but important characteristics of animals might be made evident by applying photography to the study. The case is analogous to that of the galloping horses, formerly so incorrectly represented by artists.—Youth's Companion. The One Regret.

May 17, 1933, marked the Fifth Anniversary of the incorporation of the New York Central Railroad; a fact interesting in the history of the State of New York, for the consolidation of the ten separate small railroads, a continuous route from Albany on the east to Buffalo on the west, was the beginning that made possible the enormous industrial and commercial development in the country contiguous to it. The railroad companies were filed May 17, 1833, the first Board of Directors was elected July 6th, and the whole line delivered to the new company August 1st, 1833; insuring better service, more complete connections between all points, and a more general stimulus to development than was possible under separate and rival railroads. A new way for the consolidation of the New York Central Company with the Hudson River Railroad in 1869, which event pressured that era of wonderful progress in the undeveloped west, for it created a direct line from the ocean to the inland waterways, to the lakes, and brought distant territories into close connection with the seaboard. It is a picturesque fact that this line traverses the one break in the whole Appalachian chain between the Gulf of Mexico and the St. Lawrence River, and it would seem as if Nature meant this to be a roadway for travel. Certainly the Indian found it so, for the Mohawk trail, the path of the Mohawk tribe, is almost identical with the New York Central Railroad of to-day. This trail was also the pathway of war during the French and Indian and the Revolutionary Wars, and later, in its offering of easy travel, it lured the pioneers of the West to the Mohawk Valley, which is so far removed from the productive agricultural industry on to the wooded fields of the Genesee, to build up and develop the traffic of the west upon the great lakes. It is a far cry indeed from that primitive little line of the New York Central of fifty years ago to the great Railroad of to-day with its Twentieth Century limited, speeding like the wind, carrying its passengers on luxurious palace cars, over smooth roadbeds, with a scarcely perceptible lift, with its progress could not find a better illustration, lated in an interesting letter of reminiscences written by Mr. Joshua Wilber, of Lockport, New York, describing railroad travel in New York in 1839. The writer says: "We took the cars on State Street in Albany; these cars were drawn to the city line by horses, for locomotives were not then allowed in the city. The cars were of the ancient type, by doors on the side, with seats across the car, the passengers facing each other, as in the old-fashioned coaches. "The speed was tremendous—about twelve miles an hour. Arrived on the ridge opposite Schenectady, our cars were let down an incline plane, secured to a large rope cable, the other end being that car that cars weighted with stone, which were set up on the ground as we went down. At Schenectady we changed cars and traveled west to Utica, reaching there in the afternoon. That was then the end of railroad travel. The canal packet was boarded which landed Syracuse next morning. There another packet arrived parallel to Rochester, which we reached early the following day. A third packet brought us from Rochester to Lockport in sixteen hours. "The time consumed in coming from New York to Lockport was nearly four days, being the last time, except the night spent at Albany. "Not long after the roads built from Albany westward, and from Buffalo eastward met, and a continuous line was formed, but with many changes of cars and no coincidences. "Then the Hudson River road was opened, and Buffalo and New York became neighbors." Responded Too Soon. His Aunt-John, why did you enter the ministry?

Address for 29th, Box N, Y. Miss Rose Peterson, Secretary Park dale Tennis Club, Chicago, from experience advises all young girls who have pains and sickness peculiar to their sex, to rely on Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. How many beautiful young girls develop into worn, listless and hopeless women, simply because sufficient attention has not been paid to their physical development. No woman is exempt from physical weakness and periodic pain, and young girls just budding into womanhood should be carefully guided physically as well as morally. If you know of any young lady who is sick, and needs motherly advice, ask her to write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass, who will give her advice free, from a source of knowledge which is unequaled in the country. Do not hesitate about stating details which one may not like to talk about, and which are essential for a full understanding of the case. Miss Hannah E. Mershon, Collingswood, N. J., says: "I thought I would write and tell you that, by following your kind advice, I feel like a new person. I was always thin and delicate, and so weak that I could hardly do anything. Menstruation was irregular. "I tried a bottle of your Vegetable Compound and began to feel better right away. I continued its use, and am now well and strong, and menstruate regularly. I cannot say enough for what your medicine did for me." "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I feel it is my duty to "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I feel it is my duty to write and tell you of the benefit I have derived from your advice and the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and Aa rairstraighteners now on the market, and knowing toa certainty that many AN 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 MN circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it wad put upon the market and “1 met with marked success. Aiter a thorongh test by the colored People of M\ 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 “tS member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow MN tong and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning, Now, whenever @ genuine article appears upon the market there are always a “4 number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other MN people’s goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are 4s worthless, Causing the hair to fall out and doing great ‘damage to the hair AN 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 “x these let us sound a warning—be careful what you useon your hair. Do not MN be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all an Hair Tonics, ar OZONO>~7> “9N 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 abso- It lutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, AN if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are giad to say that every one MN rio has used Ozono has been satisiied in every respect. ANN 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every, purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics. Ozono will positively yy ‘2ko she Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Trouble MN some Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and straight. It will cure your head of all itehing, worrying scalp diseases, Itch, Hezema, Dandruff ai and Scurf can not live after Qzono has been applied. It will stop your hair § from falling out. It will restore gray hair to its natural color, making the hair long and soft. A conX om Teh here, let us make a statement. Many firms are advertising AN remedies to straighten hair, but when they send the preparstion they Foto use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the {iy ite of the hair, and eanse it to drop out. Ozono straightens without any MN 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.
