VOL. IV. NO. 10 SILVER JUBILEE OF EASTERN STAR AT COLISEUM Big Entertainment During Convention of Grand Chapter in July Will Have as Guests, Visitora From all Parts of the Country. Speeches, Drills and Grand Ball on the Program. Many Tickets Sold. The twenty-fifth anniversary and Silver Jubilee Celebration of the United Grand Chapter, Order of Eastern Star of Missouri and Jurisdiction, will be given in the Coliseum Thursday night July 22. Arrangements had originally been made to have the big entertainment and ball at Dreamland. The big palace had been secured, tickets had been printed and placed on sale, and the committee had gone to other expense when the owners of the place countermanded the contract, necessitating the change of plans to the Coliseum. The program will consist of short speeches; drills by the Knights Templars, the Consistory, Shriners, Royal Arch Masons, Master Masons, Daughters of Isis, Courts of Heroines and Order of Eastern Star. A grand ball will follow. The music will be furnished by the Great Western band under the leadership of Prof. Wm. D. Flowers. Jas. W. Grant will be master of ceremonies. The Missouri jurisdiction of the order includes chapters in Portland, Oregon; Helena, Montana; Alberquerque, New Mexico; St. Paul and Duluth, Minn., and Omaha, Neb. These chapters, besides about 60 in Missouri, will send delegates to the Grand Chapter, which convenes here July 21, 22, 23.. All the other jurisdictions in the United States have been invited. The admission to the big entertainment and ball, at the Coliseum on Thursday night, the 22nd, will be 50 cents; box seats, $1. The tickets are being distributed by Mrs. Gertrude Sutherland, Gen. Chirman, 4360 Cote Brillante Ave.; Mrs. Maria A. Hedgeman, Gen. Sec., 2844 St. Louis Ave., and Mrs. Victoria-Clay Haley, Royal Grand Matron at the headquarters, 209 N. Jefferson Ave. As many tickets have already been distributed and sold for the affair in Dreamland, these cannot be recalled and will be honored at the Coliseum. 1 (From the Christian-Evangelist.) Booker Washington was born about 1858 or 1859. He does not know the year, nor the month, nor the day. He was a slave child, born of a slave woman, in a slave hut,—no doors, no windows, no floor but the dirt, no bed but a pillow, or rags, no dining table, not even a cooking table, nor a stove, nor regular meals; he ate when he could, a piece of meat here, in his fingers, a piece of bread there, a potato now, and a carrot then. He does not know his father. He heard whispers in early childhood that his father was the owner of a neighboring plantation, but against him he cherished no ill will. Said he, he was simply cursed by the slavery under which he lived. He has no word of reproach for his mother. Indeed, his mother was the guiding star of his early life, and it was because of the fact that he had, a devoted, determined, and wise mother, that he marched out of the slough of despond in which he was born. Segregation? Says he; "You cannot build a fence high enough around a Negro community to keep the Negroes in; and you would have to build it twice as high to keep the white men out!" He reduces that to an absurdity. Amalgamation? It is impossible, says he, for the races to amalgamate without the Negro absorbing all the The St. Louis Argus The Keeton Recital The new Metropolitan A. M. E. Z. Church was well filled with a representative audience of lovers of classic music Thursday, June 3, to witness the recital under the direction of W. Elmer Keeton. Undeniably, the moment of supreme beauty in the program was the concerto in D Minor, a trio, with Mr. Keeton at the organ and two of his advanced pupils, Miss Mahalia Curtis and Artie Matthews at separate pianos. This beautiful instrumental score won a great and deserved distinction. Miss Curtis also rendered a valse; Mr. Matthews an elevation in A Flat and Mr. Keeton, the Festal March, each being well received. Assisting in the recital were three of the city's most reputed artists. Jas. Campbell rendered a beautiful interpretation of the Serenade for violin. J. Arthur Freeman, who still retains his marvelous tonal tenderness, filled the audience with ecstasy in a tenor solo."Queen of the Earth." In "Le Printemps" Miss Mabel Story, with a purity of tone, achieved a triumph that won fervid applause. The culminating acclaim of the program, however, was the readition of the "Miserere" from Il Trovatore, by Miss Story and Mr. Freeman. The entire program was a mastery of technical difficulties and speaks well for Mr. Keeton and his school of music. Of this institution St. Louisans can well feel proud. TO CHIEF OF POLICE, ST. LOUIS Please help me to find my sister, her name is Frances Crowder, unless she has married. I have not heard from her since the assassination of President Garfield. She was taken to St. Louis by a brother, named Anthony Crowder. She was taken to an aunt, whose name was Betty Tyler, but I never knew the name of the street on which she lived, but I am in hopes of finding her. Perhaps if you can get trace of Mrs. Tyler you can find Frances Crowder. Anxious to hear from them. Address, Richard Crowder (Colored), 728 Freeman Ave., Kansas City, Kansas. June 3, 1915. Referred to Captain Johnson, 8th District, for investigation and report. Ask the Argus newspaper at 2341 Market-Street, to print item. (Signed) Wm. Young, Chief of Police ANNUAL SERMON A large crowd of men was present at Wayman Chapel, Sunday afternoon attending the first annual sermon of the Municipal Janitors organization. An interesting program was rendered. Rev. J. W. Carter preached a very inspiring sermon. Mayor Henry W. Kiel, and City Counsellor Chas. Dawes, delivered short addresses. Rev. Z. P. Harris, Master of Ceremonies. Rev. Geo. Clemmons, Pres. Henry Carter, Secretary. rest of them; for, don't you know that one-tenth of Negro blood shows, can be tested in the court and proved, physiologically? It shows that by and by the blacks would swallow up all the whites, and we would all be Negroes. Amalgamation is impossible. Assassination. I have heard young white men in the South say, "If I had my way, I would kill every black nigger in the world!" but I knew in my heart they didn't mean it. I knew perfectly well that they loved the Negro mammies on whose breasts their heads rested in infancy. I knew they would be perfectly lost without the Negroes round about them on the estates and in the town. Anybody who has lived in the South loves the geniality, the kindness, the sweetness of temper, the imperturbability, the calm and the content of this happy people, and would not be satisfied without them round about. That is your Southern man. Now, Booker Washington's solution of the Negro problem is this: Work, save, get, own. That will solve it all. He is right, absolutely right. That night he stood before the chicken booth, in Richmond, without a penny in his pocket to buy a "drumstick," the keeper of it said, "What do you want around here? Get away from here!" The next morning, when he stood in front of that same booth with a quarter, and asked for a "drumstick" and a piece of bread, the man served him, and said, "Fine day today! Fine day today!" "Now," says Booker Washington, "there is the difference between a black man with nothing, and a black man with a quarter." Says he to his people, "You save; get money; own a farm; have something to sell that the world wants; be able to do something that the world needs to have done, and you will be respected, you will be accepted, and place will be made for you."

How We Know That Christ Rose From the Dead By REV, JAMES M. GRAY, D. D. Dean of Moody Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT—Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead—I Cor. 15:12. At this season of the year our thoughts are turned more than usual to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is the keystone of the arch of Christianity and the basis of our own hope of life beyond the grave. Therefore it is of the first importance to be sure about it. We ought to have a firm foundation for our faith, for which reason we ask, and will try to answer, the to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is the keystone of the arch of Christianity and the basis of our own hope of life beyond the grave. Therefore it is of the first importance to be sure about it. We ought to have a firm foundation for our faith, for which reason we ask, and will try to answer, the question, How do we know that Jesus Christ arose from the dead? Antiquarians say that the strongest evidence of an event of early times is a historical monument erected to establish it. Take our Fourth of July. What an ever-recurring proof it is of the Declaration of Independence put forth by our politicalathers as the Magna Charta of our nation! We trace the history of this day from decade to decade until we reach the point when it first came to be. What then originated it, or what explanation shall be given for its observance at that time? There must be some cause adequate for such an effect, and we find it in that action of the continental congress. Just so we have the first day of the week which we keep as one of rest and worship. All the people do not keep this day, but many do, who are called Christians. They are found in all nations and among all tongues. Moreover they have kept this day for nearly 2,000 years, and yet there was a time when it began to be. What originated it, what explains its coming into being? There must be a cause adequate for such an effect, and it is found in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead on that day. This proof is all the stronger when we recall that the first Christians were Jews, and that until that time they had, always kept the seventh day of the week, and not the first. It must have been a revolutionary event indeed to produce a change like this. The Testimony of Eye-Witnesses. But going further back, what ground had our Christian fathers for believing that Jesus Christ arose from the dead on that day? To mention only a single fact, they had the testimony of 514 eye-witnesses, mentioned by Paul in I Corinthians 15:5-8. One eye-witness might be mistaken, or two or three might be mistaken, but 514 hardly! And not when you remember that 500 of them saw him at once. And furthermore the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus Christ were many, for he remained upon the earth for six weeks. And not only were they many, but very intimate, if we may so express it. He walked and talked with his disciples, and he ate and drank with them. And he afforded them the evidence not only of the senses of sight and sound, but of touch, too. Thomas was directed to thrust his hand into the wound in the side of Jesus, and told to "be not faithless, but believing." The man who rejects such testimony is incapable of accepting any similar testimony to anything or anybody. Personal Experience. And yet the man who truly believes on the Lord Jesus Christ, has evidence of a more intimate and satisfactory kind than either of those named. He has the witness in himself, for he himself is risen from the dead, not as yet physically, but in a spiritual sense. He has risen from the death of sip into the life of righteousness. He knows this to be a fact, and it is so great a marvel in his experience that the physical resurrection to follow is altogether removed from the region of uncertainty or doubt. But how did this resurrection take place in his case? Simply by believing the testimony of God concerning the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is a great mystery, but the moment a man believes what God has said about his son who died for our sins and rose again for our justification, that moment he is born again, he is a new man, in a new world, with a new hope in his heart. You do not need to offer him further proof that Jesus Christ rose from the dead, he carries with him all the proof he requires in his own soul. Once I was blind, but now I can see. The light of the world is Jesus. No power can effect this change in a man but God; and if God effects it when a man believes, that is all the testimony the man needs that his Son died and rose again. Why not try it for yourself? It costs nothing but the surrender of your will to God, but it is worth more than everything else you have in this world. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course of Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) BLESSEDNESS OF FORGIVENESS. LESSON TEXT—Psalm 32. GOLDEN TEXT—Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered—Psalm 32:1 This psalm is believed to have grown out of David's experience with Nathan (see Rom. 4:6-8). It is the second of the seven so-called "penitential psalms" (6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, 143). While it is sad, it is at the same time one of the most joyful of all psalms. It is the record of bitter sorrow and also of heartfelt praise, and as is vital in its message today as the day it was given to the world. I. The State or Condition of Happiness. (1) What is happiness? vv. 1, 2. The blessed or happy man is the one whose sin is covered. God only can forgive sin and has plainly set before us his agency, viz., the shed blood. David as king enjoyed the pleasures of life, but he also knew the result of hidden sin, of sins covered. The joy of forgiveness is offered to all who accept God's gift of justification (Acts 10:43). The psalmist seems to multiply words. "Transgression" means rebellion; "sin" to miss the mark (Rom. 12:3; "iniquity," to be crooked. When men try to cover sin we are expressly told the result (Prov. 28:13), but God literally takes away when he forgives and "covers" sin (John 1:29; Ps. 103:12; 85:2). Neither man or devil can uncover what he has covered. (2) Who is unhappy? vv. 3.4. Contrasted with the state or condition of happiness granted to the forgiven sinner is presented that of those unforgiven. David kept silence without only to have a raging tempest within—lips silent, bones "roaring." During the days of David's silence following his sinful act he was guilty of increased acts of sin and cruelty (2 Sam. 12:31). The origin of the word Selah is not known. It probably indicated a musical interlude and in this psalm most appropriately and dramatically appears. (3) How we may be happy, vv. 5, 6. All sin is uncovered to God. His all-seeing eye can penetrate man's transgressions. The first step to forgiveness and to happiness is confession of guilt. God's heavy hand wrought saving faith in David and such faith has as its first condition confession, "I acknowledged my sin." Such confession is full and frank. Nothing is held back nor has it any element of hypocrisy, and it always secures results (I John 1:9; Luke 15:20-23). The godly man, the man who is the recipient of God's grace thus bestowed, prays in a time "when thou mayest be found," or (see margin) "in the time of finding out sin" (v. 6 R. V.). The prophet tells us that there is a time when we may not find God (Isa. 55:6) and Paul tells us when he may be found (II Cor. 6:2). II. How to Contine in the State of Being Happy. (1) Our security (v. 7). When men forgive they do not "cover." What God hides he forgets (Isa. 38:17; Micah 7:19). Our security, our "hiding place" is Jehovah. Our preserver is Jehovah (Ps. 91:31; Isa. 32:1, 2). Jehovah preserves from trouble those whom he forgives (Ps. 34:19). Such men have a serenity, a "peace" even the "peace of God" which the sinner can never have (Isa. 26:3; Rom. 5:1; Phil. 4:7). (2) Our instructor (vv. 8, 9). (a) Positively—we have one who not only forgives and blots out the past but one who has promised to "instruct," to "teach" and to "guide." Nearly all believe that the introduction of the personal pronouns in verse 8 indicate that God is speaking in response to David's appeal recorded in verse 6. Jehovah guides with his "eye upon" us (v. 8 R. V). He instructs us by his spirit through his Word (Ps. 119:105; John 16:13). (b) Negatively—Some must needs be directed by "bit and bride." Some have to learn through bitter experience. We have our choice. Those who will not listen to instruction are compared to the horse and the mule who "have no understanding." Even so they are more useful than those who wildly run after sin. Only thus can some "come near" (v. 9 R. V.) though that is better than not to be brought near at all. (3) Our faith (v. 9). What kind of a life will God's forgiven children live? What is one of the foremost characteristics of a happy life? Here is the answer. "He that trusteth in the Lord." This is the conclusion of the whole matter. Our only joy is in the Lord "who hath done marvelous things whereof we are glad." Christ is the incarnate mercy and grace of God. In him we have God's forgiveness. He supplies our every need (Phil. 4:19). He pardons, heals, restores, directs, gives power (Matt. 28:13-20). Joy and impurity never companions. Only the pure can purify. Only the healthy can heal. Only the righteous and free can pardon. To shout a godly and acceptable shout demands that we be "upright In heart."

LOUIS The Missouri Annual Conference is now in session at the St. John A. M. E. Zion Church. From present indications the conference will be one of the most successful ever held. Bishop Blackwell presides. Rev. T. W. Wallace, pastor and Rev. R. L. King, presiding elder. The Helping Hand Club met last Tuesday, at the home of Mrs. Taylor on N. 5th St. After the business was transacted the evening was spent socially. Misses Russel and James spent a pleasant evening with Mrs. Chas. Brown, of Division Ave., last week. They were from St. Louis. Miss Lillian Sydnor, of N. 9th St., was a pleasant visitor in Belleville last week. Messrs. Robert Chilton and F. H. Nevils, both of Poplar Bluff. Mo., were pleasant callers in our office last Thursday. They were visiting friends in St. Louis. Lincoln High School again defeated Sumner High last Saturday in a hotly contested game. The score was 6-4. Sumner got a lead of three runs in the first inning, but the East Side lads soon overcame this and held their lead all through. Lincoln plays St. Paul in E. St. Louis. Next Saturday, while Sumner plays Y. M. C. A. in St. Louis. It is generally conceded that Lincoln has the pennant cinched. Sunday's services at St. Paul Baptist Church were unusually good. Rev. DeShields is highly elated over the results. At last East St. Louis has a decent place of amusement. The place in question is the Tokyo Airdome, under the management of Mr. Scott, and owned by Mr. Hawkins. The players are the same ones who were known as the Turpin artists. This company is composed of Bowman Moore and Company. Present indications are that the place will be successful. A musical festival was given at Lincoln High School, Monday and Tuesday evenings of this week. The exercises were splendid and all who attended were well pleased. Miss Gee was the directress. St. Paul Sunday-school took two games from the Y. M. C. A. Saturday. This leaves St. Paul and Summer tied for second place in the Illmo League. Rev. T. W. Wallace preached his farewell sermon at St. John A. M. E. Church last Sunday night. His people are hoping that he will be returned. Mr. Ralph Stone, an employee in the Post Office, St. Louis, was a caller at the home of Mrs. S. Chenault, Monday evening.

Hawkins, Sees Bright Future For Agents That the Clover Leaf Casualty Co., of Jacksonville, Ill., is forging its way to the front and in the hearts of St. Louisans is becoming more evident every day. It was the writer's pleasure to call at the local office, located at 2359 Market St., a few days ago, and finding an opportunity to speak at some length with the District Manager, Mr. E. Hawkins, relative to the operation of this company in the city. Mr. Hawkins, who was very busy, said that all he wished to say concerning the company was that they were paying their claims and forging to the front. And as evidence of that fact he pulled from a drawer a list of claims that had been paid through the local office about eight feet long with the names of a large number of business and professional men, and in fact men and women of all classes who had been disabled and had been benefited by receiving their money promptly. When asked what he thought of other companies doing the same kind of business among colored people, Mr. Hawkins produced a list of ten agents directly under him who are employed by the Clover Leaf, and said, "Where is another company in this city that has as many colored men employed?" The Clover Leaf is making places for our men. They have a young woman employed as clerk and cashier, a very responsible position, which she fills with credit. "I have nothing to say against any other company. I am a booster and have no time to knock. A knocker never won anything by knocking." We found Mr. Hawkins very optimistic on the question of the future for colored insurance agents in this city and said that though the company was always willing to promote and encourage the agents to go to other cities where they might have full charge of a district, he was loath to give up anyone of his force on account of the peace and harmony that exist among them at present. Clark And Smith Dissolve Partnership Mr. H. A. Smith, of the firm of Clark & Smith, tailors, and haberdashers of 2343 Market Street, is now the sole owner of the store and business at that number.

His withdrawal may be considered as somewhat of a political crisis. Notwithstanding his plain statement of the cause, opinions differ and speculation is rife. Some declare that Mr. Bryan thus shows his displeasure at Mr. Wilson's policy of weakness and vacillation as evidenced in his more than two years' tenure of office. Others maintain that Mr. Bryan's freely expressed dread of war with Germany shows a "yellow streak" in the Secretary himself. We do not stop to line up with either of these views.

MOSLEMS REPULSED IN INDIA Turkey's Call for "Holy War" Gets Mohammedans in Trouble in Afghanistan. Simla, India, April 22—Turkey's call for a "holy war" is bearing fruit. Official announcement was made that a force of Mohammedan troops tried to invade India from the Afghanistan frontier on April 18. The Mohammedans were driven back with a loss of 150 men. The official statement follows: "On April 18 a Mohammedan force estimated to number 4,000 men advanced to Hafiz Kor, five miles northwest of Shabkadz, with the intention of attacking British territory. These soldiers were fired upon by our patrols in Khaibar Pass. "A column moved out in the afternoon and successfully engaged the enemy, killing and wounding 150 men. The enemy then withdrew and is reported dispersing." "Sir George Russekeppel received many offers of assistance from leaders of the Peshawar district. The more influential Mullahs refused to countenance the movement, and Afghan officials effectually restrained the Mohammedans of Afghanistan from joining it." Orders Courtesy on Car. New York, April 22.—"It is part of the duty of all employees of public transportation companies to be courteous to passengers," said Judge Malone, in general sessions court. As a warning, the judge imposed a year each in prison on Michael Gavin, subway guard, and Joseph Friedman, Third avenue surface car conductor, who settled quarrels with passengers by hitting them.

Record Crowd Sees Giants Trounce Memphis St. Louis fans will get a run of excitement for their money next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday if all the dope on the Omaha "Wonders" is true. This club, which comes out of the west, is rated one of the best in the country. Mills has three good twirlers now in Williams, Smith and Miller. His team should win at at least two of the games. an overflow crowd, the largest of the season, saw the Giants trounce the Memphis boys by a score of 21 to 1 Sunday. The game was disappointing to the big crowd, especially the several hundred Memphis rooters. Monday, before a small crowd, the Memphis team slipped up on the Giants and won 9 to 4. The reversal of form may have been due to a good rest and recovery from stage BOOKER WASHINGTON THEA- TRE OFFERS A REAL ALL- STAR SHOW This week's show at the Booker Washington is the best combination of real talent that has been offered in a long time. Eddie Gray's sweet tenor voice is heard to advantage in a repertoire of his own compositions. The list consists of "Theme of Love," "Its Hard to Love Some One Dearly," "Eighteen Years Old," and "I Miss You Dearly." All are beautiful sentiments with sweet melodies. The Tom Toms, Tom Lemoiner and Tom Cross, keep the audience laughing with their conglomeration of original dialogue and songs. Lemoiner presides at the piano in the song numbers. He also plays what he calls a "Human Xylophone," which is only an ordinary soup spoon; whistles and plays "The Mocking Bird" and supports Mr. Cross in the songs "No, You Didn't; Yes, It Did." "The Old Time Melodies," and "Nothing But Love, Sweet Love." These are their own compositions. The act goes big all through. THE WORLD'S FINEST WOMAN MISS IRENE DAY Day and Howard, with a humorous line of new talk and a classy combination of vocal and instrumental selections, are a delightful pair. Miss Howard's deep contralto voice is excellent in rendering "Way Down South." George Day, as a straight comedian, is in a class by himself. His sweet tenor voice serves him well in singing, "Mother Machree" and again when he sings the "Rosary," accompanied by Miss Day on the cornet. Miss Day is undeniably the greatest lady cornet soloist on the stage. The Russells, Joe and Mandy, in "The Soldier and the Maid," close the show. Mr. Russell's soldier stunts keep the house in an uproar. The lady is excellent, both as a singer and dancer. Their jokes are clean and comical and make a tremendous hit. Their dance finale is new, full of action and takes the house by storm. The Rajahs, J. A. Downing and Vena Martin, are going big on white time in the east, closing the shows in first class houses. They are booked up to the latter part of July, when they are expected home for a rest. They send regards to their many friends. DEDICATED TO MRS. POPE-TURNBO MALONE THE "PORO" HAIR DRESSING Some folks write testimonies Having no regard to fact. While some exaggerate it Others' words are not exact. Some will falsify their statements, Others write just to deceive. By a thousand varied arguments, So their story none believes. But it shall be my object Just to state it as it is, And let the world know truly All about the "Poro" big. I do not mean to tell it all, (For half I do not know). But every word I tell you You will truly find it so. Indeed, I've taken washing, sir, And ironing, to be sure: I have served as cook and housemaid, And has nursed, too. The reason why I did it Was because I didn't know The higher possibilities For agents of "Poro." I found out what the cost would be To enter in the work. I paid the stipulated price With not a moment's shirk. And now today, I'm glad to say With all my soul and main, "I count the cost as nothing lost, But everything to gain." I've done five hundred heads or more Since first I did begin— There's a constant rapping at my door Or people coming in To have me wash and dress their hair; Because these ladies know, (Of all the rest), I use the best, The world's far-famed "Poro." I've had some ladies come to me With hair so very thin— Each strand as standing to itself And arguing with the win! But after two or three months' time I'm glad to let you know, They all join in the chorus Singing praises to, "Poro." I can call them by the hundreds, I can name them by the score; Everyone of whom are pleased With using the "Poro." It makes their hair so glossy, It makes the crooked straight; It makes the hair all flourish, And puts it up to date. Your husband will not know you, And neither will your beau— You'll take your own self by surprise By using "Pope-Turnbo Poro." So if you want your hair improved Or would you make it grow There's no remedy on earth Like "Pope-Turnbo's Poro." —Foulkes.

Lady Attendant. Weak Mediums Developed. NOTE.—Those calling for marriage, curious and frivolous persons are only waiting time calling on Prof. Gladstone. Strangely fascinating are the words that come from the cultivated lips of this most interesting man whose journey of life has already taken him through all the renowned psychic schools of Egypt, India and Europe. It seems, indeed, as if his knowledge must come from that mysterious world of which we all would know, yet longing, cannot know. He looks far away into the dim mysterious future—the great beyond—across the dark chasm which separates the human body from the fitting soul—and that which is to be is told.

He is surely a man of the passing time. GLADSTONE is not a clairvoyant from choice, but because fate has so decreed it. His ancestors were powerful mediums and have for ages handed down their wonderful power of gift from generation to generation. So he has received the rich inheritance together with the combined knowledge and priceless experience of generations. No matter what your present trouble may be or what your past experience has been, you will save yourself a good impairment by at once consulting Gladstone. NOTE.—Gladstone answers no letters, if you cannot call in person, do not write, as his time is fully occupied with his personal callers. TAKE WELLSTON HODIAMONT OR HAMILTON CARS
