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. The number of dudes on the corner of Pine street and Lawton avenue, from five o'clock to 10:30 p.m., are a nuisance, and the police ought to put a stop to the gathering of this mass of dudes who have nothing commendable but their cheek and vulgarism, which make it dangerous for people to pass that way. Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Lea, of 1308 Clark avenue, St. Louis, Mo., wish to amounee the marriage of their cousin, Miss Lizzie B. Price, of Nashville, Tenn., to Mr. Thos. H. Harris, of Little Rock, Ark., which was quietly though impressively solemnized at their residence, Thursday evening, May 22. Both of the young people are well-known to Nashville society, being graduates of the college class of Roger Williams University, 1899. The bride wore a becoming gown of white net, elaborately decorated with white satin ribbon over mull, and carried a real lace fan interwoven with golden threads which is a family heirloom. After an elaborate reception, the young couple left for their new home, 2826 Hams street, St. Louis, Mo. The home being built for Mr. Elmer C. Campbell is now nearing completion and he and Mrs. Campbell expect to move on or about June 16. The house was planned by Mr. Frank J. Robertson and is modern in every respect. It comprises seven rooms, namely; kitchen, dining-room, parlor, living-room, two bed-rooms and den. The last the most important to Mr. Campbell. It said that it will be one of the most prettily furnished homes among us, as Mrs. Campbell is a woman of very excellent tastes, and is fortunate in having a husband who allows her to gratify them as far as he is able. The Palladium mule is laid up to rest. Watch for his appearance soon. Keep Lawton avenue and Pine street clear from loafers. If the mothers of girls would keep them home the dudes would not be on the corners watching. Don't forget the billiard hall at 2326 Market street. A. A. Brooks. Jeff Smith's is the place to go—1201 Morgan street. Yes, Jim Ray has opened at Twenty. second and Market street. It is a dandy. Be sure and get there in time. H. H.

Mrs. McKinney, wife of Rev. F. McKinney, is very much indisposed. The postoffice clerks met last Sunday afternoon and transacted much business. The constitution which was drafted by Messrs. McKoin, Owens, Scott and Cooper after passing the Board of Directors was unanimously adopted by the organization. The report of the Financial Secretary, Mr. J. Myron Crawford shows nearly all of the 67 members to be in good standing. Pres. James B. Huston delivered a short address upon the object of organization. The Afro-American Enterprise League has just completed arrangement for their first family railroad excursion to Peoria, Ill., on June 20th. Pres. Jas. B. Huston anticipates that many will take the opportunity to visit this beautiful city. When a friend of Mr. Wm. D. McKoin, commenting upon his unusual sad appearance, asked him if he was ill, Mr. McKoin simply remarked, "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." Anything serious, Mac.? Mrs. Mary White, of 200 S. Fourteenth street, is quite sick. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1903. The Christian Employment Bureau. Dr. J. B. Colbert, manager, 2603 Lucas avenue.

Buckner have recently established themselves in a snug little flat at 2826 St. Louis avenue, where they will be pleased to receive their many friends in the future. The postoffice clerks of the various divisions now pass their leisure time playing base ball. During the practice games several sensational plays have been made, which seems to indicate good material for a strong team. Mr. Addie Spiller is gradually assuming his natural appearance. All of the girls seem to be glad that he is able to discard that heavy beard. Mr. L. M. Morrow, until recently a postal clerk, is now a clerk in the R. R. mail service. Mrs. Rev. J. M. Washington, of Chicago, spent last week in East St. Louis at the G. A. R. encampment. She is now stopping at 2200 Lucas avenue at Mrs. Annie D. Hyatt's.

Box 570, Louisville, Ky. Write at once. Mr. James Harrison has returned to take his place in society as a full-fledged business man. We wish him all success.

Music by the Taborian Band, and refreshments of the season are to be served. The Kansas City Son certainly is asleep. The Liberator comes to our office under the head of second-class matter and is quite a newsy paper. Will the Son people please wake up out of their Rip Ran Winkle sleep. The Madison Club will sail on the 6th of July. Will the police protect the people on Lawton avenue from baseball fanatics who take Lawton avenue every evening to play baseball against the wishes of the people and against the laws of the City of St. Louis? This nuisance is from Jefferson avenue to Beaumont street. Chief Desmond ought to send a detective on this route and stop this public nuisance. U. S. POSTOFFICE. The Peoples' Drug Store, located at Jefferson avenue and Morgan street, has recently secured a sub-postoffice station for the benefit of our people and the general public. We should feel proud of this new achievement, being the first of its kind in the city, and show our appreciation by sending all of our money orders and registered mail through this office. The South Side Whist Club. In a competitive whist game played last Saturday night between the South Side Whist Club and eight selected gentlemen, (regard for said gentlemen preventing our giving their names, which were published in our issue of the 23d inst.) the gentlemen were defeated by a large majority. The participants met at the residence of Mrs. Charles P. Bardeau, 3726 Texas avenue, at half after eight. Four rounds were played, during which time the manual exhibition on the part of the gentlemen, afforded considerable amusement to the ladies. The South Side Whist Club desires to extend "The Defeated" as an appropriate expression of their sentiments. "You're never too old to learn."

H speaker of the House of Delegates. J. W. WHEELER, Editor aud Manager. ST. LOUIS, : : : MISSOURI. CURRENT COMMENT. Christian scientists are going to build a $200,000 temple in St. Louis. See what saving doctor bills will do. The income of the British post office from money in envelopes having no, or insufficient, address is $30,000 to $35,000 a day. The British government will buy all the railways in South Africa, the colonies to pay interest on $65,000,000 necessary to the purchase. 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. One man in Wall street has made $11,000,000 out of cotton, and he never raised a bale. Somebody down in Texas has something to learn about cotton. Mr. and Mrs. Amos Harrington, of Natick, Mass., have celebrated the seventy-first anniversary of their marriage. He is 94 and she is 87 years of age, and they have lived in the same house 50 years. Canada's population east of Lake Superior is 4,000,000 and west of it 1,000,000. Our Lady of the Snows occupies a large slice of North America, but several states in this country are more populous. It is proposed by some capitalists in New York to erect a 17-story building on a lot 26x40 feet, thus containing 1,040 square feet. It will be the "skinniest" skyscraper in that city of needle-like construction. A son of President J. J. Hill, of the Great Northern railway, has been discharged from a $6 clerkship. He probably gets little sympathy from the president, who put him into the company's office to learn the business. A new law in New Hampshire requires boards of education to place a flagstaff on every public schoolhouse in the district under their control and to procure a flag for display thereon, under penalty of $10 for neglect to do so. An Indianapolis doctor is authority for a story of a family named Tinsley, whose members, as well as their ancestors, have never been able to laugh since a clergyman cursed a Tinsley for ill-timed merriment at the hanging of a thief in Oliver Cromwell's days. Pension office figures show that veterans of the union army are dying at the rate of nearly 40,000 a year, and the mortality among former confederates is not much less. More than half the men who took part in the civil war have answered the last muster. A grandson of Ralph Waldo Emerson drove a wagon not long ago carrying coal into suffering Boston districts. The writings of his celebrated father have not been without comfort to many, but the coal wagon of the grandson was "hitched to a star," as Emerson advised; it was hitched to a star of hope for many unconscious of any other species of poetry or philosophy. Everyone must be impressed with the proposition before the Michigan legislature that the hopelessly insane be put to death by the state. We can imagine just how, we, the state, will feel while we are putting them to death. It all seems so easy and charming and inspiring, doesn't it? the cold chills running down our backs as we contemplate it; especially if the victims are related to us by blood or otherwise. The outworn old phrase "high noon" still appears in reports of weddings with tiresome frequency. Is it not time to send it into banishment together with "the fire fiend," "no reason has yet been assigned for his rash act" and "he fell with a dull, sickening thud?" What excuse for the continued existence of such tedious repetitions of words so frayed and ragged, so loopholed by the misuse of generations? And what is the difference between high noon and low noon anyway? It is a fine commentary upon the civilization of an American commonwealth that the governor of Kentucky should find it necessary to send troops and ordinance to preserve order while a court of law is making an inquiry into a cowardly assassination. The presence of the militia will avoid any violence at the time of the triclip, but the feudists of Breathitt county will take note of what is done and will mark for secret murder those who attempt to vindicate the law and the commandments. The Batavia Fruit Farm company, of Arkansas, finished planting its peach orchard of 130,000 trees. It is putting out 120 acres in cantaloupes, 25 acres in Irish potatoes and 100,000 sweet potato plants. This will be the largest orchard in Boone county and it is the opinion of the promoters that the products grown while cultivating the orchard will more than pay the expenses of cultivation. The outcome of this enterprise is being watched closely and it is the general opinion that it will be a success. PROFITED BY CONTRACTS. Charges on Which A. W. Machen, Superintendent of Free Delivery Has Been Arrested. OF COURSE HE HAS BEEN DISMISSED. Mr. Machen, However, Insists That the Case Against Him Is Only a Grand Stand Play, and Professes to Be Able to Show That His Administration Has Been Blameless. Washington, May 28.—By far the most sensational development of the post office investigation up to this time occurred Wednesday, when Augustus W. Machen, the general superintendent of the free delivery service, was arrested on a warrant issued upon the information of post office inspectors charging him with having received "rake offs" from contracts made with the local firm of Groff Bros. for a patent postal box fastener. The warrant specifically charges him with receiving $18,981.78 since August 8, 1900. It is alleged, however, at the department that this amount does not represent all that Machen obtained from his contracts, it being charged that he profited by them for several years prior to the date of the first contract mentioned in the warrant. Other arrests are to follow. Immediately after Mr. Machen was taken into custody the postmaster general issued an order removing him from office. He had been practically under suspension for a fortnight pending investigation into his bureau. The discovery of Machen's alleged interests in the contracts was made quite accidentally by the inspectors some three weeks ago and since then their energies had been directed toward making out a case. Tuesday night, after the authorities had become convinced that they were in possession of the necessary evidence Mr. Machen was notified to appear at the department Wednesday morning. He did so, and was subjected to a "sweating" process by the inspectors and Gen. Bristow for three hours, but no admissions that he had profited by the contracts could be secured from him. He declined to answer many questions on the ground that they related to his private business, but insisted to the end that he had not received a cent improperly. Nevertheless, he was arrested on the warrant which had been prepared, and was taken before a United States commissioner, where his attorney immediately demanded a full hearing. Assistant District Attorney Taggart, however, was not ready to proceed with the case, and the hearing was set for June 5. Mr. Machen gave $20,000 bond, furnished by a Philadelphia bonding company, for his appearance. After his release he declined to make any statement beyond the single declaration that the whole thing was a grandstand play and would show that his administration of the free delivery service had been characterized by ability and integrity. The department officials claim that their evidence is conclusive. It is understood that civil suit will be entered to recover from Machen the amount he is alleged to have received on the contracts. Postmaster-General Payne made the announcement of the arrest at one o'clock Wednesday afternoon in a voice that trembled with emotion. Mr. Payne said: "Mr. Machen is now being arrested in this building." He had little to add beyond stating that the charge was "participating in the profits of a concern with his office." The Groff concern consists of two members. One of them is D. B. Groff, a real estate man. The other, the inventor of the fastener, is a member of the local police force. ROOSEVELT SPEAKS IN BUTTE. United States Senator Clark the First to Greet the President In Montana. Butte, Mont., May 28.—President Roosevelt arrived in Butte, Wednesday afternoon, over the Great Nor...ern railroad from Helena. He was met at the station by Mayor Mullins, escorted by a company of militia, a platoon of police and the Spanish war veterans, who are holding their state convention in Butte. United States Senator W. A. Clark, of Montana, was one of the first to greet the president, Mr. Roosevelt then entered a carriage in which the senator, Mayor Mullins and a secret service man were seated. The drive through the streets of Butte was one long ovation. Such a crowd has never been seen in the history of the city. The neighboring towns for 50 miles had poured in their thousands, and the line of march was crowded to suffocation. Two addresses were delivered by the president, and both were well received. BREACH OF PROMISE DECISION. Kansas City Woman Gets Judgment In Missouri Supreme Court for $12,500. Jefferson City, Mo., May 28.—Lena Broyhill, of Kansas City, was given a judgment of $12,500 damages against H. B. Norton, of Westport, Mo., for breach of promise to marry, by the supreme court Wednesday. The case was tried at Liberty in 1901, when Miss Broyhill was given a verdict for $25,000, which the supreme court says is excessive. MISSOURI STATE NEWS. Mother Dies With Child In Arms. With her baby clasped tightly in her arms Mrs. Belle West, of Shady-side, St. Louis county, was found dead in bed. The infant's cries awoke her aunt, who aroused the father when the death was discovered. Mrs. West was 23 years old and the mother of four children. Just exactly when Mrs. West died is not known, but it was some time between 10 p. m. and 4 a.m. She retired apparently in good health. Her baby is only one month old and she took her in her arms before going to sleep. The rest of the family retired about the same hour and were not disturbed until the baby began to cry the next morning. Although the father, James West, was sleeping in the same bed with his wife and baby, he did not hear the latter's cries until his sister-in-law, Mrs. Lizzie West, called to him. West tried to arouse his wife, but she did not stir. Then he took hold of her and found her cold in death. Says Mrs. Nessenheuer is Insane. Says an item from Hannibal: Coroner James Clayton, whose jury has finished the inquest over the body of Baby Howard Nessenhenher, whose death, the jury decided, was due to carolic acid poisoning through the carelessness of his mother, Mrs. Alice Nessenhenher, will go before the county court at its session and ask that Mrs. Nessenhenher be sent to an asylum for the insane on the grounds that she is of unsound mind. This was decided upon by him as a result of his careful investigation into the case. She Buried the Wrong Man. Mrs. George Littleton, of St. Joseph, learned, the other day, that she buried the wrong man for her husband, when the body of a man found at Atchison was laid at rest. George Littleton jumped in the river ten days ago after a quarrel with his wife, in which he thought he had killed her. After the search and the funeral, it was learned that Littleton's body had been recovered from the river at Kansas City. He Was Made to "Cough." George Williams, colored, 22, in St. Louis, tried to swallow a watch and chain he had stolen. A few taps on the head with a policeman's club was necessary to make him "cough it up." He thrust watch and chain into his mouth, chewed them, broke a tooth, and in swallowing the outfit one end of the chain caught in his teeth and held. Farris Gives Bond at St. Louis. State Senator Frank H. Farris, indicted for bribery at St. Louis, in connection with alum legislation in the session of 1899, has given bond in the sum of $5,000. J. L. Griswold, proprietor of the Laclede hotel, St. Louis; Capt. J. W. Farris, the senator's son, and the senator himself are on the bond. Eastern Miszouri Episcopalians. The sixty-fourth annual convention of the Episcopal diocese of Missouri was held in Christ Church cathedral, St. Louis. The diocese comprises all Episcopal churches in the eastern half of Missouri. Two Women Convicted. Two women have been found guilty in the federal court at St. Louis of sending improper parcels through the mails and sentenced to the penitentiary. The parcels contained medicines. Laclede's Great-Granddaughter. Mrs. Clementine Papin-Carrier, great-granddaughter of Pierre Lacede, St. Louis' founder, died the other day. She was 85 years old, and had lived in St. Louis all of her life. Denounced Outrages in Russia. At a big meeting at Temple Shaare Emeth, St. Louis, where both Jews and Christians spoke, resolutions were adopted, denouncing the outrage upon the Jews in Russia. Injured by Lightning. Mrs. Elizabeth Baumer, 60 years old, was fatally injured by lightning in a severe storm at St. Joseph. She was sitting in front of a window when the flash came. Remained at His Post. William Kelly, a Wabash fireman, remained at his post when his train was wrecked at St. Louis, and was buried under engine, receiving probably fatal injuries. Good Business Barometer. The receipts of the St. Louis post office, from May 1 to May 26 were $222,161.73; for corresponding time last year, $179,477.30; gain, $42,684.70, or 23.77 per cent. A Slip of His Foot.

Clifton, the Murderer of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Church Lynched at Newcastle, Wyo. Newcastle, Wyo., May 28.—W. C. Clifton, murderer of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Church, has been lynched by a mob from Gilette. The mob battered down the jail door, holding up the sheriff and deputy the while, and hung Clifton to a bridge west of town. Clifton's head was cut off by the fall of 40 feet. The mob, which consisted of 50 mounted ranchmen, was perfectly organized, and proceeded with methodical deliberation. The sheriff and his deputies were bound and confined. Clifton's cries were stifled with a gag. He was bound hand and foot and roughly dragged to the scene of execution. The commands of the mob leader were given quietly, and none of the townpeople was aroused by the lynching. When the body of Clifton was removed from under the bridge the following message was found pinned to his clothing: "We think the law too slow in hanging this most cold-blooded murderer who took the lives of our dead friends and neighbors, and we take it upon ourselves to revenge in behalf of the parents. Hoping that the action on our part will met the approval of the community at large, we remain, (THE MOR.)" MOR AT BLUEFIELDS JAIL. Officers Forced to Accept Bonds and Liberate Prisoners. Bluefields, W. Va., May 28.—A mob numbering fully two hundred appeared at the jail, Wednesday, and with pick-axes and crowbars attempted to liberate two prisoners who had been incarcerated several hours previously. The attempt of the mob to batter down the structure aroused the police, who hurried to the scene, and, seeing that nothing could stop the wrath of the mob, but the release of the prisoners, accepted bond for the culprits and the latter departed from the jail. The mob then dispersed. The prisoners who caused the trouble were two brothers named Johnson. One of the brothers, Tuesday night, became boisterous. When Chief-of-Police Calloway attempted to arrest him the brother of Johnson jumped in and struck Calloway on the head with a club, inflicting serious injuries. Other police arrived at this juncture and the brothers, after a hard fight, were finally subdued and jailed. THE KISCHINEFF MASSACRE. Terrible Story Told By Man Who Escaped from the Russian Mob's Fury. New York, May 28.—Mandel Schuel meister, 20 years old, and a native of Kischineff, was among the steerage passengers landed at Ellis island, Wednesday, from the North German Lloyd liner Grosser Kurfurst. He left Kishineff the Monday after the massacre, and says Russia never saw anything to equal the outrage. Questioned through an interpreter, he said: "On the Jewish Passover there was much rioting. The houses of Jews were stoned and threats made to kill them. The next day when the Christians came out of their church the crowds, armed with stones and iron bars, attacked the Jewish people in the streets and began to sack the houses, killing men, women and children. "I saw the mob enter the yard of the house next to us, where they stoned a shoemaker to death. While I was hidden in the cellar with my family I heard the mob enter our house, and break the furniture and smash the windows. "We were released from the cellar by our landlord. The next day the chief of police announced that the rioting must stop, and that we would be safe in the streets. I saw in the cemetery 50 bodies of men and women waiting to be buried. These were badly mutilated, some with crushed heads, and some with large holes through the head from ear to ear, made by spikes that were driven through them." Schuelmeister said that he left Kishineff and was smuggled across the frontier, where "an agent" helped him to get to Bremen. TWENTY-FIVE EXPLOSIONS.

PROTECTION OF VISITORS. The World's Fair Management Taking Steps to Protect Exposition Visitors From Extortion. St. Louis, May 28.—Hotel rates are the subject of a circular letter which is being sent out by the World's fair management to the management of the various hostelries in St. Louis. The hotel men are asked the explicit question: "The World's fair management very much desires from you an expression in regard to rates to be charged durinb the exposition period from April 30 to December 1, 1904. "The publicity department and the department of congresses are now carrying out a very active and energetic campaign to organize attendance at the World's fair. Assurances received indicate that it is possible to obtain 150 to 175 national conventions and congresses during the seven months of the exposition. "Many of these organizations adopted resolutions last year in favor of meeting in St. Louis in 1904, but left final action to their conventions to be held this year. The convention season is now on, and definite action for or against St. Louis is about to be taken. "The exposition management is in receipt of numberless inquiries about accommodations and rates. A widespread impression prevails that St. Louis may not be able to accommodate those who desire to come, and that rates charged by hotels will be excessive. "The information bureau has been directed by the exposition management to ask an expression from you as to the rates you expect to charge when the exposition opens." SOUTHERN NEGRO PEONAGE. The United States Department of Justice Has Inaugurated a Rigid Investigation. Washington, May 28.—At the request of the department of justice, the United States secret service has undertaken the work of investigation of the charge of peopage, or holding another in servitude to work out a debt, which has been made against persons living in the vicinity of Montgomery, Ala. The punishment provided by the statute for this crime is a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $5,000, or imprisonment of not more than one year nor more than five. One man has already been indicted for keeping a negro in servitude for at least a year. Information in the hands of Chief Wilkie tends to show that a regular system has been practiced for a long time between certain magistrates and persons who want negro laborers. It is said that the plan is to bring a poor negro before a magistrate on a flimsy charge. He is convicted, and having no money to pay a fine, the white man offers to advance him the money, provided the negro will make a labor contract with him for a length of time sufficient to reimburse him for the money and trouble he has taken to keep the negro out of jail. He is, thereupon, taken away and begins what is frequently a long term of cruel servitude, being frequently whipped for failure to perform work to the satisfaction of his employer. The federal grand jury returned five additional indictments Tuesday, but the names are withheld for the present. CORRUPTION AT SAN JUAN. Charges Filed Against Collector Cruzen for Receiving Unlawful Emoluments. San Juan, P. R., May 28.—As a result of the visit here of Customs Inspector Cullum charges have been filled at Washington against Collector Cruzen, alleging irregularities in the conduct of the San Juan office. According to affidavits submitted with the charges Collector Cruzen received unlawful emoluments, permitted ships to visit island ports without an inspector on board in return for presents made to him, and unlawfully demanded cigars from shipers. The collector is absent now, but on his return a reply from him is expected. GONE TO A HIGHER COURT. Col. Albert Brewer, Awaiting Trial at Tiflin, O., for Manslaughter, Dies of Heart Disease. Tiffin, O., May 28.—Col. Albert Brewer, Tiffin's millionaire, aged 43 years, died of heart disease Wednesday. He was under indictment for manslaughter, being charged with killing Luther A. Hershep in a saloon row. His trial, which was put off from time to time, was set for June 15. Wednesday was the anniversary of the death of Hershey, and rumors were current that Col. Brewer committed suicide, but they are denied by the attendant physician. Col. Brewer was the founder of the Brewer Pottery Co., of Tiffin. STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS Commissioner to Presbyterian General Assembly from Minnesota Falls III at Los Angeles. Los Angeles, Cal., May 28.—I. H. McCollum, an elder of the Presbyterian church and commissioner to the general assembly from the Lakeside Presbytery, Duluth, Minn., was stricken with partial paralysis, Wednesday, at his temporary quarters in Highland Park. He was at once removed to the California hospital. Dr. McCollum is 84 years of age. TWO THOUSAND ENGULFED Total Destruction of the Town of Melazgherd, In the Vilayet of Van, Asiatic Turkey. THE ENTIRE POPULATION ENGULFED. Much Havoc was Wrought in Surrounding Villages—The Turkish Foreign Office Has Appealed for Subscriptious for the Relief of the Destitute. Constantinople, May 29.—Two thousand lives were lost at Melazgherd, on the Euphrates river, in an earthquake which visited that region of Aslatic Turkey on April 29, details of which have just been received here. The town was totally destroyed with its entire population, including 700 Armenians and troops forming the garrison. In addition over four thousand houses in the neighborhood collapsed. A somewhat severe earthquake shock was felt here Thursday morning, but no damage was done. AN OFFICER BECOMES INSANE. Much Havoc was Wrought in its rounding Villages. London, May 29.—The foreign officer received some details from the British consul at Erzeroum regarding the recent earthquake at Melazgherd, according to which a strong shock lasting 30 seconds was felt between Lake Van and the Russian frontier, and as far west as Kharput. The town of Melazgherd, consisting of 500 houses, was destroyed, and much havoc was wrought in the surrounding villages. Col. Khalil Bey, commanding the garrison of Melazgherd, with his whole family, three other officers and 80 soldiers perished in the ruins. Lieut. Col. Tayib Bey, whose family perished became insane. The foreign office has appealed for subscriptions for the relief of the detritus, of the Melazgherd district. NIGHT SCARE AT JACKSON, KY Frightened Militiaman Kills a Cow and Owner Demands Forty Dollars for the Loss. Jackson, Ky., May 29.—The frustration of what the troops believe was a plot to rescue or kill Curtis Jett and Tom White last midnight has in creased the tension in Jackson. How many men were involved beside the one fired on and who returned the sentry's fire and what relation the incident had to the placing of a search light on the jail grounds from a nearby mountainside earlier in the night are questions in which great interest are felt. Maj. Allen, who, in the absence of Col. Williams in Lexington, is in command, gave out the following statement concerning the affair: "Just at the storm broke Theo. J. Harper, the sentry at the south side of the jail observed a man approaching from the Jackson deposit bank. He gave two commands to halt, which were heeded, and then gave warning that he would fire unless the man halted His words were answered by one or two shots. The darkness was intense and objects could only be seen by lightning flashes. Harper and two other guards returned the fire. The marks seen Thursday indicate with what destruction the shots took effect. A minute later the sentry at the north side of the jail served a moving object which thought a man or a horse coming to ward him. He commanded a halt three times before he fired. The object, a cow, was instantly killed. The agent tasted the owner wants $40 for the loss. The glass front of the bank was penetrated and an unlighted lamp on the counter was shot through. In the belief that the plan was to pick off the Gatling gun squandr with the aid of a searchlight and then rush the guard. The search of visitors to the cour room, Thursday, resulted in the ing of only one weapon, a large knife EXECUTIVE SESSION HELD Catholic Total Abstinence Union Amerien Decides to Make an Exhibit in St. Louis. New York, May 29.—An important executive session of the Catholic Tote Abstinence Union of America was held in this city Thursday. It was decided to bring the union into closer touch with the movement in Ireland and to make exhibits of the cause of temperance at St. Louis exposition. Extensive plans were mapped out for special work to be taken up at the Pittsburgh convention in August. WILL JOIN THE EAGLES. President Roosevelt Accepts an offer and Will Be Initiated Into the Order at Cheyenne. Cheyenne, Wyo., May 29.—The invitation of the local lodge of Eagles to President Roosevelt asking him to be initiated into the order on his visit to this city on May 30, was accepted by the president, Thursday, and preparations for the event are now under way. A solid silver case mounted with gold letters, to contain his initiation card, has been made.

Tm KIDNAPPED - MILLIONAIRES. AP st Se MYSTERY ON MYSTERY. The hundreds of columns of space devored by the New York morning yapers to the great eveut could have len condensed into a few para- graphs, so far as any true explanation af the mystery was coneerned. Sis men, whose combined wealth vas variously estimated at from $00,000,000 to $1,250,000,000, had dis- apeured as suddenly and completely ws if the earth had opened and snaliowed them. Four of them— Messrs. Pence, Kent, Haven and Mor- ton—had been in the latter’s office about four o'clock on Monday after- noon. Mr. Morton’s secretary was sure they held no conference at this ‘ime, and said they soon left the uilding. He thought they left to- giher, and supposed they went away jwurriages or in an automobile. It ‘wenot uncommon for men distin- giivd in the world of affairs to sei at. Mr, Morton's office, Mr. Miton had arranged for an impor- ‘nt conference with some railroad na at his office for the following micning at 11 o'eblock. ‘The corre- sonience files showed that fact con- cusively. Mr, Morton had telephoned w his residence that he would not elome to dinner, ‘This was not un- ‘wial, ‘That was absolutely all that was known of Mr. Morton's move- nents cr plans. ‘ohn M.

Each imagined himself the next victim. Special policemen guarded all the offices, and every vis- itor was scrutinized as a possible kid: napper. Hundreds of extra police offi- cers were thrown into the financial district. AN suspicious characters were arrested. Crowds were not per mitted to assemble and a condition approaching marital law prevailed, ‘The governors of the Stock Ex. change finally decided to open the session as usual, reserving the power to suspend business if conditions warranted such procedure. The market opened from two to five points below the close of the previ- ous day. Several failures were an- nounced. Street & Rogers bought about 300,000 shares of stock in the first hour and then stopped. With their support withdrawn the panic increased. There were rumors that Street & Rogers were heavily “long” and on the point of suspending. ‘This the firm emphatically denied, and stated that they could stand a fur- ther drop of 25 points. On a call for margins they promptly furnished them, With the panic at its height the governors met to take action. A mo- tion was made to suspend business on the exchange. As a member arose to discuss this proposition, a messen- ger entered and handed the president a letter. It read as follows: Mr. M. L. Morton, New York City: Dear Sir: This is to inform you that Tam alive and well. T shall be obliged to remain away from the city for a short time, possibly several weeks. You and my Telatives and friends need not have the slightest fear for the safe return of myself and the gentlemen who are keep- ing me company. I remain, very truly yours, PALMER J. MORTON. May 2. ‘The letter was in Mr. Morton's handwriting and had been positively identified as genuine by his private secretary and by the oldest clerks in his office. These facts were hurried- ly explained to the president of the board of governors, who adjourned the meeting and sounded the gong for attention on the floor of the ex- change. At that moment pandemo- nium reigned. A score of trading houses had failed, and others were on the point of suspension. Banks were calling loans. Money was quoted at 200 per cent. on call loans, with gilt-edged stock as security. Sugar was hovering around par, a drop of more than 60 points in less than 48 hours. ‘The nerve-racked brokers expected the announcement of yet more disastrous news, and lis- tened stolidly as the chairman waved his hand for quiet, cleared his voice, and began his reading. No one heard more than the close of the first sen- tence: “I am alive and well.” ‘The joyous voice of the gray-bearded old chairman told them that the mes- sage was from Palmer J. Morton. What a shout went up! It was re- echoed by the vast mob which defied the police and swarmed into Broad and Wall streets. The enthusiastie clerks and customers cheered from every window. The panic was ended. Prices moved violently upward. In half an hour the face of the market was changed. In the whirl of specnlative joy some stocks passed the higi figures which had been reached at the opening on Monday morning. But while the agony of suspense was passed, and it was known that the missing men were safe, the case was yet shrouded in a mystery deep as ever. At the close of the day the market stood on a plane which aver- aged about ten points below the level established before the leaders of finance and speculation had vanished. It was noticed that Street & Rogers were persistent buyers from the mo- ment the first news of the Morton letter was made public. Their sales were so small as to show that they represented but profit taking for regular customers, and not the im- mense holdings of “long” stock which had been absorbed during the height of the panic. ‘Their profits were roughly estimated at $35,000,000. ‘The weleome letter was addressed to Mr. M. L. Morton, a brother of the great financier. It was in a plain white envelope and written on ordinary letter paper, with a single fold. The postmark on the letter was indistinct, but when put under a glass the inscription clearly read “Provincetown, Mass.” The letter had been mailed at nine o'clock at night, and left the Cape Cod town on a late train, With slow connee- tions the letter reached New York in time for the 10:45 a. m. delivery. | Here was a clew worth following. A special train with the best de- tective talent in New York, was pre pared and dispatched to Province- town. But the developments which speedily followed, deepened the mys tery and puzzled the cool-headed chief of the detective force. Between uniformity in envelopes, The Pence letter was written with a Iead pencil. The detectives descended on the peaceful citizens of Provincetown} which sand-girt village of Cape Cod found itself of a sudden possessed of the center of the stage. Probably no town in America affords less op- portunities for secretiveness than Provincetown. There is but one street in the village—a narrow, wind- ing lane which follows the sinuosity of the harbor. But the detectives were not dis- mayed. ‘There were hundreds of fish- ing boats at their deep-sea toil, and their skippers were interviewed. So were the trainmen and conduc- tors. The latter were positive that no man answering Mr. Morton's de- scription had traveled over the single road which runs up Cape Cod penin- sula. Two detectives were left at Provincetown to continne the search for clews, and the others received telegraphic instructions to proceed to Springfield, Mass., and Albany, N.Y. On Friday the New York papers contained brief accounts of the dis- appearance of one L. Sylvester Vin- cent, a Chicago gentleman, who fol- lowed the profession of promoting enterprises and inventions. Mr. Vin- cent had been stopping at the Broad- way Central hotel. He was described as a gentleman of impressive bear- ing and rare charms of conversa- ‘tion. Mr. Vincent had registered in the hotel two weeks before the time when his absence was noted. His ho- tel bill was due, and repeated efforts to present this little matter to Mr. Vineent’s attention disclosed the fact that he had not been in his rooms since Monday night. An ex- amination of his effects revealed @ ‘much frayed evening suit, a small collection of unwashed linen, the prospectus of a plan for a ship ca- nal connecting Pittsburg with Lake Erie, and a pocket dictionary. In the light of much greater events the fate of L. Sylvester Vincent made so feeble a flicker that it was un- noticed by the great reading public. CHAPTER VIL.

As she entered the Van Horne of- fice Miss Carmody paused in evident surprise, but with no sign of confu- sion, as Mr, William Chalmers bowed and advanced to meet her. “I am pleased to receive you, and hope that I may be of some service to you, Miss Carmody,” said Mr. Chal- mers as he motioned his visitor to a seat on a divan. “My name is Chal- mers; I am Mr. Van Horae’s manag- ing editor.” “I had expested to meet Mr. Van Horne,” said Miss Carmody. ‘There ‘was disappointment in the tone of her voice. “Mr. Van Horne is in Europe,” said Mr. Chalmers as he took’ his place at his desk, and brushed aside the ob- trusive butt of a half-smoked cigar. “He went on some important busi- ness and no announcement was made of his departure. Mr. Van Horne left for Europe two weeks ago. He is now somewhere in Russia.” “That is very unfortunate,” said Miss Carmody. The tears glistened in her eyes, and she held them back only by a too-evident exercise of will power, “Miss Carmody,” said Chalmers in his rapid but cordial manner, “if your desire to see Mr. Van Horne arises from any mission in which the Record is concerned, I am fully authorized to take his place. In his absence there is practically no limit to my authority.” ‘The eyes of the young lady bright: ened. She looked’ at the handsome face of the young managing editor with a mingled expression of hope and doubt. “{ am afraid you cannot do that ye Thad intended to ast" Miss Carmody said. “LI can do anything except suspend the publication of the paper,” replied Chalmers with prompt fervor. “I should be tempted to even do that, if T imagined it could possibly relieve the distress which you are suffer- ing.” The pale face of the young lady flushed at this declaration, which was uttered with a sincerity which left no doubt as to the honesty of Mr. Van Horne’s representative. “That is the last request in the world I should make,” she replied, after a moment's pause, in which the color left her cheeks. “Mr, Chal- mers,” she continued, 1 a voice tremulous in its decision, ‘I am go- ing to submit something to you as if you were Mr. Van Horne. I hava mown Mr. Van Horne for many years. He has been a visitor at my father’s house, and when father dis- appeared I thought of asking him to aid me. My mother is dead, and the whole responsibility falls on me as his only child. ‘The house is fre- quented by vulgar detectives, and they have driven me nearly frantic. One would think, from the questions WE ask, and the things they do, that I was suspected of being a party to my father’s disappearance, And our well-meaning friends are almost as bad. They smother me with their sympathy. I am not look- Jing for sympathy. “I wish to find my dear father, and I have not the slightest confidence in the detectives, ‘or in the methods which they have adopted.” She paused for a moment as if to consider how she should frame the request she had to make. Mr. Chat mers was deeply attentive. “I am a great believer in the pos sibilities of such a newspaper as the New York Record,” she said. “I think that one good newspaper man is worth a dozen detectives. I do not believe the detectives will ever lo- cate the men who have abducted my father—for it certainly is a case of abduction. I wish to place a sum of money in the keening of the New York Record, a part of it to be of- fered by it as a public reward for the return of the men who have been sadnapped, and the other portion to be used under your personal direc- tion for the same purpose.” Mr. Chalmers smiled; and reach- ing into his desk produced the proof of the copy of a headline which was yet wet with the printer’s ink. “In a small way I had anticipated your plan,” he said, as he handed her the proof. It read as follows: ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL- LARS REWARD! The New York Record offers this Sum for the Rescue of the Missing Mil- Monaires and the Capture of the Abductors® Certified Check for $100,000 deposited by ‘The Record in First National Bank. Miss Carmody’s face was radiant with pleasure. “But you should not do that,” said she. “It is not your place to devote this large sum of money for the benefit of those in whom you have but the general interest of all law- abiding citizens. As you know, my father is very wealthy. In my own name and right I have a large amount of money which I ean ob- tain at any time. I am sure,” she said with a smile, “that papa will re- turn me any money I spend in try- ing to find him. You must let me advance this money. I wish to offer, through the Record, $250,000 reward, and in addition I wish you to em- ploy in this search as large a num- ber of your staff as you cam spare, and have it done entirely at my ex- pense, ‘They will find that I am a liberal employer. Of course I shall not publicly appear in the mat- ter-in any way. I have already contributed to the general fund which has been subscribed by the relatives of the missing men, but 1 have so little faith im the authorities and the private de- tectives. that I wish to take the step I have indicated. You must not re- fuse me. You know what you prom ised to do,” and Miss Carmody blushed in a way which made her radiantly charming. $n Sha SeaMinonied TD DREAMS THAT DIFFERED.

It is the constant hur- rying from one point to another to get this article here and that there that makes housework hard. It is well therefore to have the pantry as nearly square as possible, ‘A square pantry gives the shortest distance from any point to that point where the kneading board is located. In one of the four sides will be located the doorway. ‘The best arrangement tor the other three sides, to my mind, is suggested in the accompanying il- lustrations. ‘The kneading board should be lo- cated in front of the window. A most convenient device for seeuring the full advantage of this location is shown in Fig. 1. On the right of the window is a set of drawers, the uses of which will be obvious to any housekeeper. To the left of the window is a cabinet into whieh two barrels of flourcan be rolled for bread and for pastry.

When replaced in position over the barrel, the kneading surface will be underneath, which will keep it wholly from the Gust. If shelves over the position of the barrels are desired, the kneading board cannot be hinged, but must be lifted and placed in position. At right angles to this arrangement for flour barrels, kneading board and drawers, may well be placed a cabinet for holding all kinds of groceries need- CHARTS HER FIGURE. Statixtion Play an Important Part In the Beauty Hunt of the Modern Shslcty Women, An anthropometric chart is a nee- essary possession for the young woman who is striving for classic proportions in her figure. ‘The wom- an who does not number such a chart among her possessions is quite behind the times, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. The height, the breadth, the depth, the girth of the anatomy, each must come in for a share of attention. Calipers, a breadth stick, a height stick, and a steel tape measure are needed. In making inventories of one’s inches, it is necessary to take each measurement with the body in the same position and in the same way. ‘The following are founded on the classic ideal: Height, 5 feet 5 inches; weight, 138 pounds; waist, 27 inches: bust, 34 inches; arm, at the shoulder, 13 inches; wrist, 6 jnches; ankle, § inches; calf of leg, 14% inches; thigh, 25 inches. ‘The arms extended should measure the height from the tips of the third fingers. The hand in length should measure one-tenth of the height. ‘The length from the elbow to the middle finger should be the same as frem the elbow to the middle of the chest. From the top of the head to the chin should be the length of the foot. ‘The height of the head should be just four times the length of the nose. From temple to temple the meas- urements should equal the length of the face. ‘The stretch of the thumb and sec- ond finger should just measure the face. ‘The stretch of thumbs and first fin- gers should exactly circle the throat. ‘Measured by heads, the eight parts ed in cooking. Ordinarily such grocer- ies are kept in bags, or in paper, tin and wooden boxes, upon open shelves, one behind another, entailing much trouble and occasional spilling when getting one receptacle out.from behind another. With such a cabinet as that shown in Fig. 2, everything is by itself and instantly available, without the disturbance of any other article. ‘The large closets in the lower part of this cabinet accommodate iron and large tin utensils, and jugs containing mo- lasses, vinegar, ete. On the side of the pantry opposite the window is the dumb-waiter, and also open shelves for dishes (Fig. 3). It the pantry is ina city home, where ice is a necessity, the space occupied by the dumb-waiter may be used for the re- frigerator; but in the country home, where ice is not used, a dumb-waiter is of the greatest importance. Articles that must be kept cool in warm weath- er can be placed upon its shelves, run down into the cellar with the motion of a hand, or drawn up as easily from that cool place, without the repeated and fatiguing ascending and descend- ing of cellar stairs, which is one of the most distressing factors in many housekeepers’ daily lives during the hot days of summer, ‘The building of such a dumb-waiter as that figured is not a difficult matter || Para es A PR 1 AS) aa Bi AN PRS Eaty: i — DAS Aiea ae at all. A rectangular closet is con- structed, the floor being cut out be- neath it. On either side, within, a strip of pine board is fastened. ‘These strips extend down through the floor to the bottom of the cellar. A little space is left behind each strip for the pulley cord to run, and on the inner surface of each strip there is a groove running from top to bottom for the projections on the side of the dumb-waiter to slide up and down in. At the top of each strip are inserted stout window pulleys, over which the cord passes and is aitached to the sides of the dumb-waiter. This is simply a set of shelves with side pieces firmly attached. Four shelves in the dumb- waiter will be sufficient, ard above them may be two stationary shelves ut the top of the cleset. Glass doors may be provided for these fixed shelves, and two narrow wooden doors for the lower part. All the woodwork should be thoroughly oiled, to prevent swell- ing. When one is building or remodeling a house, the pantry should, if possible, be placed upon the northern side of the house. If it is necessary to locate it upon the northeast or the north- west corner, let the window be upon the northern side, so that the room may be kept as cool as possible in sum- mer.—Country Gentleman. which make the height of the clas- ‘sie figure divide up in this fasion: Height. one head from crown of head to bottom of chin to breastbone; one-half head from top to bottom of breastbone to the middle of ab- domen; one head from the middle of abdomen to beginning of lower limbs; one head from beginning of lower limbs to middle of thighs; one- half head from middle of thigh to top of knee: one-half head from top ‘of knee to bottom of knee; one and one-half heads from bottom of knee to small of ankle; one-half head from small of ankle to soles of fect ‘Two Ways of Serving Rass.

We will still go forward regardless of any one as we only speak the truth as in Christ Jesus. J. W. WHEELER. We note the fact that W. A. Pledger, of the Atlantic Age, is convalescent. We are glad to hear that such a strong Republican and race man has been nursed back to health, that he may still be useful as a true representative of our race. We would suggest to Julius F. Taylor, editor of the Broad-Ax, of Chicago, that he stop fighting the preachers. Don't find so many flaws in men's lives. Our motto is, "Never strike at anyone unless he starts the fight." Then we are able to say, "We must and will defend ourselves." The Kansas City Liberator has obtained rates as second-class matter. There is something wrong. Manager Wood, of the Rising Son, will please answer. The Rising Son is the only paper published by colored people in Kansas City, Mo., that is entered at the postoffice as second-class mail. From the Son After an absence of one month the Rising Son, of Kansas City, comes to this office, bearing at the the head of her editorial columns a certificate of life from the Kansas City postmaster. The Palladium is not fighting any one, but only inquired as to the last resting place of the Son—in case it had died. Not Fighting. The Son notices that J. W. Wheeler, the Palladium man, has stopped fighting and settled down to business.—Kansas City Son. The Palladium does not fight. It has always been defending itself against a lot of sanctified devils who pretend to be living the life of Christians, whose lives are as black as the hinges of h.—We will pay anyone if they can find, at any time, where the Palladium has struck at a lady or a gentlemen.

According to a gentleman who has spent many years in the gold fields, the average digger would bear comparison with some of our best debaters. Some time ago the "boys" of Nugget Creek were in council assembled. It was generally admitted that the size of the colony—consisting as it did of something just over a dozen shanties—entitled it to be considered a city, and Mecca City sprang into existence. Then one Roaring Dick arose and wanted to know what the "citizens" intended to do in the matter of lighting the "streets" by night. "You know me, boys," he said, twirling a formidable-looking six-shaooter, "I ain't afraid o' nothing, naythur in daylight nor dark. But it's this way—other cities as 'got gas, and Mecca's got ter 'ave it." "It can be did!" said one. "It's got to be did!" roared the speaker. "Wot other cities does we do!' Sides, gas lamps is a hornment an' lamp posts a habsolute necessity. Why, ther' ain't a decent spot ter lynch a man within twenty miles. We're goin' ter 'ave lamp posts." The argument was conclusive, and it was decided unanimously to have gas—New Yorker. August G. Seyfert, United States consul at Stratford, Ontario, reports that a strong impetus has been given in Canada to the manufacture of peat for fuel, but the question of making the apparently inexhaustible beds of bog commercially valuable lies in the drying process. Thousands of dollars are being expended in experiments to perfect machinery for this purpose, and the genius who succeeds in investing a machine to thoroughly extract moisture from crude peat will make fortune. $4 to $8 a day guaranteed to every perron sending their name and address to Scott Remedy Co., P.

One Used the Telephone, Another Played the Piano and a Third Was a Guitar Virtuoso. One particularly interesting cat that I knew had a long life. He had reached the advanced age of 14 years. He was not a blue-blooded cat, but simply a plain, black cat, without pedigree, and bore the plebeian name of Tom, but he often displayed a high degree of common sense, and sometimes of reason. In the house he lived in was a speaking tube of the ordinary kind, passing from the upper to the ground floor. On one occasion Tom was left alone in the downstairs room, the doors of which were closed. Desiring to get out of the room, and having no means of opening the door, he climbed upon a chair near the speaking tube, erected himself upon his hind legs, steadied himself by placing his paws upon the back of the chair; placed his mouth to the tube, and began whining and mewing into it. In this attitude he was found by his young mistress, who came into the room at the moment that he was trying to call one to his aid. Tom had evidently observed that the tube was used for such purposes, and that some one usually came in response to it. He did not know enough of its mechanism to remove the plug or to use the whistle, but he certainly showed that he knew something about the use of the instrument, and as far as he had ever seen into the mystery used it accordingly. There lives at this day in New Jersey a cat whose tastes are esthetic, if not cultured. She answers to the name of Bonny. While she is the pet of all the family, she is especially devoted to the only daughter, who is a young lady of some 20 summers, and she is equally devoted to the cat. Bonny is fond of music, and its perhaps the only one of her race that performs upon the piano. This she does of her own volition, and apparently for her own pleasure, for she is shy of performing in the presence of strangers; but while alone or in the presence of her young mistress she does not hesitate. Bonny seems to have a clear sense of the fitness of time and place, and never interrupts DEVOTED TO THE GUITAR. her mistress while playing or when otherwise engaged, but on seeing her idle she often goes to her, claws at her skirts, and runs away to the parlor. If not followed, she returns and repeats the act until her wish is obeyed. When the instrument is opened for her she lightly springs upon the keyboard and amuses herself and friends by prancing over the keys in a most singular manner. Of course her music is without melody or rhyme, but she appears to find infinite pleasure in her timeless noises. Every evening after her young mistress has finished dinner, Bouny climbs into her lap, purrs, caresses her, claws at her drapery, and then runs away to the parlor. When the piano is opened, if no one is seated at it, the cat immediately begins her overture, but when the young lady takes her place on the stool Bonny promptly resigns in her favor, and crouches herself on the top of the instrument, where she remains as long as one continues to play it. A woman whom I recently met told me that her cat was devoted to the music of a guitar, and when the instrument was placed within reach the animal often amused itself for an hour at a time by plunking the strings. When the lady herself took up the instrument, the cat invariably perched itself upon her shoulder and remained purring as long as the music was continued. In the island of Sao Thome I saw a cat that was so shy of human society that it rarely entered any part of the house when any person was present, but whenever anyone began playing a guitar it came into the room and mounted a table or a vacant chair near the performer, where it quietly remained, if not molested, until the music ceased.—Chicago Tribune. RARE GARDENING SKILL. An Armchair Formed by Natura) Growth Under Direction of a Corean Expert Gardener. The armchair pictured in the accompanying illustration may be said to have partly grown out of the ground, although its shape was furnished by twisting and turning a vine out of which most of its framework was formed. It was brought to the United States by a sea captain who saw it in a Corean city. The chair is studded or ornamented with seeds of the gingko tree of various sizes, which have actually grown to the fiber of the vine. A Corean gardener, familiar with the NATURAL ARM CHAIR. adhesiveness of the seed, took a native vine, noted for its toughness, and rudely made it into the form of a chair, holding it in place with branches of small trees. The seeds fresh from the tree were bound to the vine until they had firmly fastened themselves to it, being allowed to grow in the meantime. After the seeds and boughs had become attached, the vine was cut from the roots, and the natural chair exposed to the sunlight until the sap had dried from the fiber and all of the material had hardened into a substance as solid as oak. It was then polished until its surface glistened like mahogany. Although but three feet four inches in height, and 25 inches in width, the weight of this curiosity is over a hundred pounds, on account of the hardness of the material of which it is composed. The armchair may well be regarded as a striking example of the gardening skill of the far east.—Scientific American. TURKEYS IN RED COATS. Maryland Spinster First Plucked the Birds and Then Supplied Them with Warm Clothing. Miss Sallie Blake, who lived in Calvert county, Md., some years ago, was in the habit of gathering chicken-grapes in the autumn, and making them into medicines by preserving them in spirits. It happened once, after the contents of a jar containing the decoction had been exhausted, that Miss Blake emptied the liquor-soaked grapes on the ground. Here her fine brood of turkeys quickly gobbled them, relates the Baltimore Sun. Presently Miss Blake found the turkeys lying on the ground and, not realizing the cause of their stupor, she thought they were dead. In order to realize something from the feathers, she had the turkeys picked. The carcasses were thrown outdoors. The next morning there was a great hue and cry from the servants in the backyard, and, looking out of the window, Miss Blake saw her turkeys walking about, absolutely bare except for a few tail and wing feathers. In order to protect them from the cold, the good old woman bought enough red flannel to make each turkey a comfortable garment. Very soon, to the wonder of the neighbors far and wide, Miss Blake's turkeys stalked abroad, wearing their red coats with the same easy grace with which they had worn their feathers. Dog Fooled His Mistress. This dog learned a thing or two very quickly. A family in Tiffin, O., had moved from the old home, but rented the house, furnished throughout, the new tenant being an elderly lady. For some reason, the family dog was "let" with the furniture. Now the new occupant of the house liked to sit in a particularly comfortable chair in the parlor, but as the dog was also as fond of the chair, she frequently found him in possession. Being rather afraid of the dog, she did not dare to drive him out, and therefore used to go to the window and call: "Cats." The dog would then rush to the window and the lady would calmly take possession of the chair. One day the dog entered the room and found the lady in possession. He trotted to the window and barked excitedly. The lady got up to see what was the matter, and the dog instantly seated himself in the chair. White Ants as a Dainty. A recent book on the Congo Free State gives this picture of the fondness of the natives for white ants: "In the white ant month the natives have a very busy time. The river is deserted, and men and women, boys and girls, go out to gather the white ants for food. I cannot say I admire their taste; but the white ant is not so bad for food—merely very rich. In this month he is about an inch long; the natives gather him in hundreds, pull off the wings and roast him. The native boys have a shorter way with him. Sometimes at mess white ants flopped on the table, attracted by the light. The boys, who were waiting, pounced on them, and without further ceremony popped them into their mouths." THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson in the International Series for May 31, 1903-The Life-Giving Spirit. THE LESSON TEXT. (Boigans 8:1-14) 1. There is, therefore, no condemnation to them which iire in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4. That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8. So then they that are in the flesh cannot not please God. 9. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ he is none of His. 10. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead, because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11. But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. 12. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 14. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Paul was now about to start for Rome, and in our lesson we see what doctrine he had written to the Romans while he was in Corinth. Note also how well it sets forth the difference between himself and those before whom he had been brought, as related in the last lesson. The eighth chapter of Romans is one of the great chapters of the New Testament, and while to us it perhaps seems technical, and full of unfamiliar terms, it was not so at all to the people to whom it was written, and to us Paul's thought is perfectly plain and simple. He is speaking of the influence in the lives of all true Christians of the Holy Spirit through what we call the "higher nature." "No condemnation:" Such as we of course deserved before the beginning of the Christian life. "Them that are in Christ Jesus:" Who have accepted His as their Saviour, and are honestly trying to do as He would have them do. "Haw of the Spirit of life. do. Law of the spirit of the law of sin:" Say control instead of law; "The control of the Spirit of Christ (or as many understand it, the Christ-spirit), which is the source of all that is worthy the name of life, released me from the control of the lower, sinful nature, which had ruled before the Christian life began." "What the law (of Moses) could not do:" That is, to save men from sin, this God did do through Jesus Christ. "The law . . . weak through the flesh:" Law—the knowledge or a statement of what we ought to do—is powerless to make us do it. It is inefficient, "weak," because we are weak. "Condemned sin:" "Deposed it."— Vincent. "That the ordinance (requirement, R. V. margin) of the law might be fulfilled." The aim of the law was right, but it was ineffectual to accomplish it. It was unable to make men's lives right without touching their hearts, while Christ makes men's lives right by first making their hearts and wills right. When that is done the right life follows naturally. "Flesh:" The lower nature. "Spirit:" The higher and better nature inspired and strengthened by the Spirit of Christ. "They that are after the flesh:" The kind of people in whom the lower nature controls. "The mind of the flesh." The low, sinful life Paul has been speaking of. "Is death." That can be the only end of such a life. A life that is constantly going down hill, morally and spiritually, as well as physically, must sometime reach the bottom. That is death. "If any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His:" It is not membership in any church or belief in any creed nor the performing of any particular meritorious act that decides whether or not one is Christ's, but simply whether he is so filled with the Christ-spirit that he is becoming really like Christ. "The body is dead:" The body is still death-smitted because of sins."—Bosworth. It was Paul's belief that all physical death was the direct result of the sin of the ancestors of the human race. "Spirit is life." Righteousness and the vigor and life of the soul go together. "We are debtors:" Rather we are under obligation. "Put to death the deeds of the body:" That is, "stop doing the selfish things the flesh inclines to."—Bosworth. Paul shows in verses 15-17 that the Christian is not whipped into line by God, like a slave, but that he is God's child, and that his service is love service. PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus because they have the filial, obedient spirit. There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus because they are trying to live up to the law. There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus because they are led by the Spirit of God. There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus because they are the children of God.

A man in clerical garb was handing out cards to the home-goong crowd at the entrance to the Brooklyn bridge one evening recently. On the face of the card was an identification blank, in case of accidents. The plan looked simple: the man masked and tucked the cards in their pockets. When they got home they found on the reverse side the advertisement of an undertaker who advertised a new scheme in burials.

He had a very bad case of Rheumatism and Kidney Problems from which he had suffered twenty years. Nothing he could get seemed to do him any good, and he was gradually growing worse. He has no Rheumatism now and explains it thus: One day I happened to see an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills and decided to try them. "I made up my mind to give them a good fair trial, as my case was a very bad one and was of over twenty years' standing. "I used altogether 42 boxes and I can truthfully say that I drove out even of the Rheumatism.

By far the greatest number of female troubles are caused directly by catarrh. These women despair of recovery. Female trouble is so common, so prevalent, that they accept it almost inevitable. The greatest obstacle in the way of recovery is that they do not understand that it is catarrh which is the source of their illness.

You have met with loss where you looked for gain, With sorrow where joy seemed sure: You have followed peace and rest in vain; Have vainly sought for a cure For the ills of life that beset your way, Its fruittess labor and care; A wonderful power is this power of prayer, Though we know not how or why A few weak words from our hearts can bear Our need to the Throne on high, Can touch the heart of the Infinite One, And move Him to bestow The good we crave in the name of His Son Till our cups with joy o'erflow. Though we understand it not, yet we know It is God's appointed way, And with all our wants to Him we go, For 'twas He that bade us "Pray." So, friend, if your gain has proved to be loss, If your joy has turned to grief, Go seek in prayer by way of the cross A precious and sure relief. Yet think not Our Father in answer to prayer Will take all trials away: Ah, no! but patience and strength to bear You'll find when in faith you pray. When your sky is fair, and the sun looks down With many a cheering ray, And never a cloud with threatening frown Halts over your pathway-pray. And pray when the clouds gather dark above And Sorrow with tear-wet face Comes into your home, while those you love To her somber band give place. Whatever your case, if you fain would prove How great is this power you bear, Take hold of the arm of Infinite Love With the clinging hands of Prayer. -Emily Stuart Lawrence, in N. Y. Witness. SPIRIT, NOT STATURE. A Lesson of Life Worth Learning If We Are to Accomplish Anything That Is Useful. There is a pretty story told of the sturdy little boy whose father, a very tall man, was noted for the length of his stride. One winter day, after there had been a fresh fall of snow, the father, going out to his business, left particularly plain footprints down the long path to the gate. The next to leave the house was the small boy on his way to school, and his mother, watching him from the window with loving pride, was both amused and touched to see him making most gallant efforts to put his foot in the marks left by his father. Of course he could not accomplish it by single strides, as he sought to do, but he certainly made a brave endeavor. He had the spirit even though the stature was lacking, and after all, says Philadelphia Young People, that is the true test of our undertakings and the standard by which our efforts should be measured. The bullfrog, in the familiar fable, deserved his fate because his foolish ambition inspired him to attempt to rival the bull in bulk, whereas if it had moved him only to try to be the biggest bull-frog we might have approved of his enterprise. Then again, because one cannot be the best at anything, that is no sort of excuse for not trying to be as good as one can. If the little boy had sulked and refused to go ahead at all because he could not step into his father's footprints, how foolish he would have been. Of course, being a sturdy little chap, he did nothing of the kind, but plowed right on through the snow to school, and that is just where he set an example which is well worth imitating. There is a vast amount of work left undone because those who are responsible for, arguing that they cannot do it quite as well as somebody else they have in mind, refuse to make the attempt, whereas if they did put their hearts into it they might accomplish it very creditably. If we only have the true spirit, the question of stature is not so material. The thing is to be as big as we can, not as big as somebody else. Then our life will be well worth living. A Sermon in Action. A contributor' to the London Outfitter tells a pleasing anecdote of the late Dean Bradley. "I was in a large retail establishment," he says, "behind the counter. The dean came in and selected some very fine lamb's wool underclothing. In putting them on one side the writer came in contact with a penholder protruding from an inkpot, which had been carelessly, and against all rules, left on the counter. The contents were suddenly transferred to the lamb's wool, which eagerly drank in the exhilarating beverage—probably the first drink it had since being a lamb. The salesman (myself) apologized and set about getting others to replace them, but the kind-hearted dean would not hear of it, and insisted on taking them, as they were, at full price, in case the accident should get anyone into trouble. This lesson of the practical side of the dean's Christianity sank deeply into my mind," adds the writer, "and did more good than the simple act itself involved. It was a brief sermon in action." Eternal Truth. Truth does not need any proof or evidence, for the real truth is self-evident.—Ram's Horn. SPREAD GOOD CHEER. One Side of the Ideal Christian Character-Men Who Make the Way Smooth. There are men we always like to meet because they always have a kind word and a warm greeting, because they do not say hateful things, because they forgive and forget, and because they always pour oil on troubled waters. Their lives are beautiful. Whittier says: "For still in mutual sufferance lies The secret of true living; Love scarcity is love that never knows "What is love?" It is our business to refresh and cheer, to perform angel ministries, to reach out the helping hand, to get under burdens, to assuage sorrow, to do nameless acts of kindness and love, to conciliate instead of tearing open wounds, to heal instead of wound, to play on heart-strings with the soft, tender touch of the skillful harpist, to give the cup of cold water, to lift out of the slough of despond, to speak the word of cheer by the wayside. Thus our very soul will become a fountain of light and joy and gladness, will become more and more the dominant mood of our life. Life is a constant giving out. Like the flower it emits fragrance. Like the sun, it gives light. Doing noble deeds, shedding blessings around, diffusing light, like an oasis in a desert, refreshing weary lives. How life is refreshed by the presence of cheerful people—those who manifest constant sweetness of spirit, and who are uniformly joyous! They are graceful because of their very gladness, and beautiful because they are bright. Silken cords of love twisted together draw us whether we will or not. Some people make you forget life's burdens, and the rippling wave of their laughter is as sweet music to the soul it soothes and quiets. Better than a cloudless day for cheer, sweeter than the flowers for fragrance, pure as the lily, modest as the daisy, sparkling as the mountain streams, singing songs clearer than the nightingale, lark or limnet, their lives are full of rapturous joy, a very song of gladness, a halluiah chorus, a shout of praise. Especially is its spirit helpful in old age. It makes even the wrinkles smile. The brow of beauty may fade, but the radiance of sweet contentment makes a perennial halo of glory. "At eventide it shall be light." Brighter than the sparkle of her crown was the luster of the character of Victoria. England's noble queen—in old age beloved by all for the beauty of her womanhood, and in death mourned by all for the nobility and sweetness of her life. Who does not shun crabbed age, with shriveled-up souls as well as bodies, and living on in perpetual gloom? Such lives have failed to gather any honey for this time of life, and sit repining and morose. Not so those who have met life's duties bravely and conquered its difficulties. To such lives the birds of peace and contentment are constantly singing melodies of perfect harmony. Heaven's portals are not very far distant, and some of its celestial music steals into the life. Like Moses on the mountain, their faces shine with a radiant beauty and, like Stephen, "looking up steadfastly," they "see the heavens opened," and there is their eternal home.—Rev. A. C. Welch, in "Character Photography." SEEDS THAT WILL GROW. He hath riches sufficient who hath enough to be charitable.—Sir Thomas Browne. Many have said, and for the time being have said honestly: "I do not know" or even: "I cannot believe." But who ever said honestly: "I cannot obey?"—Christina Rossetti. Be obedient. Do the will of God, however bitter it may be, sure that there is sweetness at its heart, and never resting till you have found its sweetness.—Phillips Brooks. Never pretend that thou hast a heart to pray while thou hast no heart to give, since he that serves mammon with his estate cannot possibly serve God with his heart.—Robert South. The one who has awakened a hope of better things in the soul of another has not lived in vain. He is a near kinsman of sunbeams and showers. He is a herald of God. "Instead of a gem, or even a flower," said George MacDonald, "cast the gift of a lovely thought into the heart of a friend."—United Presbyterian. A large heart with a little estate will do much with cheerfulness and little noise, while hearts glued to the poor riches they possess, or rather are possessed by, can scarcely part with anything till they be pulled from all.—Robert Leighton. Matthew the publician quitted the receipt of custom and threw in his lot with poverty. Doubtless his friends, the other men of business called it a blunder. "He has forfeited his living," they said. Yes, he did forfeit his living but he gained his life.—W. R. Huntington. Obedience is the term of God's presence. "He is with us while we are with Him." If then the saints break company, no marvel though Christ withdraw His society. This is the tenure of Christ's manifestation, provided we love Him. But if not. He is gone—Thomas Hooker. Don't Give Up The true moment at which to call upon oneself to take any new step in virtue is at the fainting-point, when it would be so easy to drop all and give all up; when, if you do not, you make yourself a power.-J. F. W. Ware. LIFE IS SWEET even to the farmer, with his endless trouble and worry about weather, crops and insects. A man can forget his business cares, but he cannot forget a sickness that stays with him (or any member of his family) constantly, day and night. And if, after trying many different kinds of medicines and drugs, his sickness still keeps on, a man begins to feel as if all his work was in vain. The Food That Does Good Life is sweet—but only if you can enjoy it. If you are sick, or suffer in any way from weakness of any organ of your body, please read the following very carefully, for it may be that we can point out to you a way, both pleasant and safe, by which you can be relieved from pain and sickness, and your life made worth enjoying: In the first place, put out of your mind the idea that disease is a NAME. The name is nothing. It hardly matters at all WHAT, you think, or others say, you are sick from. WE say, and the most advanced medical science of the day says, that if you are sick, IT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE WEAK. And the very first thing to do, naturally, is to BUILD UP YOUR STRENGTH.

If Mr. Bartholdt or his constituents are hoping that the Palladium will give up her fight against the 'fenth district Congreseman, they reckoned very im- properly. These modern times and doctrimes of political equality implies to us equal rights politically anda share of party privileges. The government ‘rests on the broad foundation of popu- lar 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 un- staple as water. The proof of the “‘padding’’ is eating; so let Dector Bartholdt and his ‘Patronage Broker” Beirman eat. It is said to be of record that Mr. Bartholdt once expresred himself as being indifferent as to how the negro voted; not only did he do this, but he is known to have installed Geo. Beir. man (his man, Friday) as his ‘‘Patron- age Broker” in the St. Louis Custom Houe, and Beirman has, by his preva- lent rules, given the negro to understand that no biack 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 politieat parties is not necessarily the produet of elections or the concomitant of official station. There wasa day when abso- lute monarchy seemed the ideal of human greatness, but that age has vaniehed, and the leader of to-day must | possess qualities higher than a despot ora Nepotist. Who is Beimman and why has Mr. Bartholdt crowned him as a federal boss? Surely there is no magnetism in this “Political Oabbage.” Mr. Bartholdt’s “Message from the President” speech, and other ‘face- flushing” movements will avail bim 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 de, 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. Stop that cough.
