In my rambles I dropped into St Louis the other day to pay my re spect«, among others, to our friends the Knights of Pythias, Since th closing of their grand lodge in Jul; like the fame of the cilitice erected by King Solomon, the praise o! their temple at 3147 Dine street, St Louix. has been ecattered broadcast over the land, WHost dst. lor halfa day I lounged in the offices and comfurteble parlors, and during that time I bad the pleasure of mecting mauy distinguished vis- ltore from far and near, who, like the Queen of Sheba, had come out to view, study, wonder and inepect the building. Among those who were loudest in their praise were W. G. Moseley of the second metropo-. He of Missouri, Kansaa City, who had becn in attendance at the Ma sonic grand lodge at Lousiana, Mr. Moeciey is full of that pure, race patriotizm that has made the Pythian temple a reality. He is aleo an active member of the Pyth. ian grand lodge: Ovr old friend, Bailer, long a resident of Kaneay, and for maty yews a railway mail clerk tunning in charge, but who is now a resident of Kansas City, paid scall Said Mr, Bailer: ©T cannot find words to exmess my appiecia. tion for the courtesy shown me by Grand Chancellor Lloyd and Chair. man George LB. Jones in ehowing me thiough the Pythian temple, and I im proud of the work accom. plhed, which is a splendid monu. ment to the progress of our people, My son 1s a Pythian, and I hope to Le able to give the Pythian grip in the near future,”” | 8. 13, Francis, grand recorder of: Ue United Grand Commandery of the etate of Missouri and ite juris. diction, on his return from Louisi. ana, embraced the opportunity to; come out and view the building. Mr. Francia said: ‘*While I am proud of the fact that I have long’ been a Mason, and of the many honors which my bretbren have at different times conferred upon me, yet when I view this magnificent structure, I cannot help but feel proud of my connection with the Pythian hosts, although my mem. bership is but of revent date, I joined the order sbout four yeara ago, and from what I now know of the splendid management of this or. ganization my only regret is that I did not connect myself with the or. der long ago,” Mr, Mrancie iaa member of John Lange Lodge, No. | 6, K. 1’, of Kanwaw City, AMfo., and was fort e fouwith time re-elect. ed grand recorder of the grand com. mandery of Knights Templarn at the session just clcned in Loutsiana, T also had the pleasure of meet. ing Mr, Charles Baker of Farmings ton, Mo., and Mr, W. ‘I, Ancelt of Huntsville, Mo ,at Pythian Temple huilding, Mr, J.

Mr, Waebington eaid: ‘*Gen- tlemen, inthe state of Texas we pride curselves upon our Luriness cetablishments and fraternal enter: priees, but I muet say that your work here through the foie-ight, energy and perseverance of your exceutive officers, has erected amon.

The thirty-eighth anniversary of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor was celebrated by Rough Riders Temple No. 31 and Rising Sun Tabernacle No. 5 at the city park Over 1,000 Knights, Daughters and friends were out for the occasion. Sir CM Johnson, Grand Presiding Prince, of Omaha, was the honored guest and was extended a royal welcome. The weather was ideal and the park grounds in splendid shape. From all standpoints the affair was a splendid success. An interesting program was rendered, consisting of all kinds of athletic contests, and drill by the maids and pages under the direction of Dtr. Sarah Baxter, marshall of the day. Following the program a barbecue dinner imparted good cheer to those present, and the remainder of the time was spent pleasantly in a social way, with music and dancing. This was the most enjoyable affair ever given here and congratulations are due the faithful officers and members, and especially to the committee which had much to do with making the all or such a decided success.

We have just returned from a trip to Excelsior Springs, Liberty, Sedalia, Jefferson City, St. Louis and Mexico, Mo. At Excelsior Springs is located one of the largest summer resorts in the West. Here we found the colored people largely engaged in bath houses. They own good property. Dr. Harris, W. A. Doxey and D. A. Ellett are succeeding nicely. Dr. Harris and Mr. Ellett have just completed two fine buildings. Mrs. Stanford King is conducting the Albany Hotel and keeping it up-to-date. The business was run by her late husband. She has added a laundry to the business. LIBERTY is an old antiquated town. The blacks and whites are about on a parr. Gabriel may arouse them, but we have our doubts. SEDALIA. Here we met our friend, Attorney Phillips, who is enjoying a fine practice. The colored people are in the same old rut we found them twelve years ago. JEFFERSON CITY colored people are holding their own. Prof. Allen, of Lincoln Institute is smiling over a second baby girl. The teachers from over the state are at the Institute in attendance on the summer school. Prof. Anderson Schweish has charge of the boarding department. He is a fine gentleman and is making a success. Dr. Caston is doing good work for the race. He is the wealthiest colored man in this section of the state. Mrs. Sallie Dupee owns a fine brick residence—an ideal home. Her daughter, Mrs. Winston, will go to Chicago soon where she will enter a school of emembalming. Mr. Dupee is an employee of the state house where he has been for several years. We spoke to Governor Hadley concerning the home for incorrigable colored girl's He said the home would be located at Sedalia and work would be begun soon. He admitted that the home for boys at Boonville is in bad shape, and will be improved as soon as possible. We next visited the penetentiary and appointed W. A. Wedly, an inmate as our agent within the walls. Robert Cushenbery, who served ten years for a crime he never committed was parolled, the people demanded it. Governor Hadley has made a fine showing in demanding and seeing that the prisoners are treated like human beings. AT ST. LOUIS, the metropolis of Missouri you find an old city with pronounced Southern ideas to be so close CHAS. BAKER, Grand Master of ExeLoquer. Farmington, Mq. ... W. A. GUNNELL, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, 3137 Pine Street, St. Louis, Mo. North and West. Here you find nearly one hundred thousand colored people—forty per cent. of whom are active and progressive, forty per cent. working but see no results of their labor and twenty per cent. who "ease by" in any way to dodge work. The colored people are well supplied with vaudeville shows, grocery stores, millinery and hair dressing parlors, but are lame on dry goods, shoe and clothing stores. The population is sufficient to amply support four or five stores of this kind. A good, substantial Negro bank could grow and flourish if the Saint Louis Negro would awaken to a sense of business. On building churches they are doing fine. They own better churches than the average among the whites of the United States. The colored people were very fortunate in purchasing a building once owned by a wealthy white congregation who removed to a more select portion of the A. W. A. GUNNELL, Grand H 3137 Pine Street --- city. These churches range in cost of building from fifty thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars and were sold to the colored people for a mere pittence. The homes are the same. Colored people are purchasing large mansions at about one-third cost and they are in most desirable locations. We are glad to note this fact—they cannot accomplish too much along this line for THE PLAIN DEALER. The people of Saint Louis are proud of A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor of the K. of P. of Missouri. He has set the pace for all other grand lodges and officers. He has not devoted his time playing to the grand stand, instead he has applied his energy to building up the order. His work now stands out as a lasting monument to the Negro race as well as the Pythians of Missouri. He has erected a large temple where all the Pythian lodges of Saint Keeper of Records and Seal, St. Louis, Mt. wagon under Stant treasury Sainte seven years women selves every Overhand for you Sev out of making earnin A. C. Wilson, making for K and over at his We equip W. A. Scott,velop artist flock do fi lead teach W. taker, --- Louis can meet. He has put five grand officers on a yearly salary. They do nothing but look after Pythian business. Where is there another grand body of Negroes doing a thing of this kind? The most gratifying features of the whole thing is the fact that the building is paid for and belongs to the beneficiary depdrtment. The Grand Court of Calanthe is strong but if they continue to quarrel and wrangle over trival matters they will go down. Let them follow the example set by the men and make positions for the young women. THE PLAINDEALER would like to have more readers in Saint Louis and if the colored people will read the paper and heed our advice, they will increase their standing fifty per cent. T. G. (Tony) Williams, deputy sheriff. 2646 Randolph, will act as our agent and correspondent. A corporation composed of colored men have opened the A. C. M. E Laundry at 2244 Chesnut street.

They are doing fine. Saint Louis ought to have had several Negro steam laundries years ago. Colored men and women should interest themselves in laundry business in every town and city. Mrs. Overton has conducted a fine hand laundry for exclusive trade for years and is doing well. Several railway mail clerks run out of this city and some are making a showing with their earnings: O. P Smith, in the A. C. M. E. Laundry; John R. Wilson, insurance; W. F. Buffin, money in the bank, preparing for business. "Buf." is O K and at present is all smiles over the arrival of a baby boy at his home. We visited the splendidly equipted photograph gallery of W. A. Maxwell. He is a Fort Scott, Kansas boy and has developed into one of the finest artists in the West. People flock to his studio as he can only do first class work. He will lead one of the city's popular teachers to the altar next spring. W. C. Gordon, the undertaker, is a whirl-wind. He is --- THE DR T A CURTIS. Supreme Representat St Louis, Mo. worth not less than sixty thousand dollars-made it in the past eighteen years. He recently purchased a beautiful $12,000 mansion at 4259 Cote. It is elaborately furnished and he and his wife and baby boy are enjoying all the blessings and comforts to be had in life. Wm. Edmonds conducts a barbershop at 1919 market across from the union station; owns horses, express wagons, saloon and with $50,000 laid aside, is taking life easy. Harris and Mosley, the grocers have purchased a large brick building at 3114 Lawton and are enjoying a good trade. Chancellor L. Lloyd is another who owns a fine mansion. John Merritt and wife are conducting a nice restaurant in the rear of 1335 Market. Dick Kent, another Negro of wealth owns a large vaudeville house. Rev. Gilbert of the A. M. E. church is doing well and will erect a parsonage soon. We enjoyed a unique dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Overton, 2601 Walnut street. Up to a year ago, Mr. Overton 1 was a bachelor when Cupid's arrow from Miss Estelle Hamilton pierced his heart and he became so troublesome that she had to marry him. He now declares that he is sorry it did not happen years ago. His wife is a lady of high attainments. Mr. Overton is one of Saint Louis's leading caterers and serves on boats. He is away on Sundays until o'clock at night so they had dinner for us at "low twelve," and it was the finest we ever sat down to. A midnight dinner is fine and a novelty that is quite enjoyable. is a nice town with rebel proclivities. This is the home of Thomas Bass, the greatest horse trainer in the world. At his beautiful home we had the pleasure of dinning with him, his estimable wife and son, Inman Page Bass, a bright little boy and a chip off the old block. Mr. Bass owns twenty-five head of fine horses—trained and being trained for fancy driving or riding. He makes large fairs and horse shows and has in his home throphies of all kinds as prizes awarded him. His vehicles, harness, etc., are the finest to be had and special greoms care for his horses. Our old friends, Mr. and Mrs. Harrison, formerly of Lawrence, Kas, are doing fine. He is an old soldier and is engaged in market gardening. --- MEXICO 7 ‘ Wine sede one dane.
