E. Stevens Will Presach to Graduates of All the Schools at Central Baptist Sunday Morning. It is expected that a notable service will be held at the Central Baptist Church, Ewing and Washington Avenues on next Sunday morning at 10:45. The graduates of the Summer High School and of the various grammar schools will be present by invitation to listen to the annual sermon to graduates by Dr. Geo. E. Stevens, the pastor. A special musical program will be rendered by the Young Peoples' Choir and Symphony of the church, directed by Mr. Troy Gorum. The young people will sing also at the night service. All the graduates of the various city schools will be present wearing their colors not later than twenty minutes of eleven in the chapel of the church to form in line and march to the auditorium to their respective places by schools reserved in the center section of pews. The principals and teachers who are also invited will occupy the places reserved for them. It is urged that the regular congregation come early as the organist will begin his special prelude not later than twenty minutes of eleven o'clock. Mosby & Tyler Re-appointed At the meeting of the Board of Education of the city of St. Louis Tuesday night Ben. H. Mosby and Gerald Eyler were re-appointed as teachers in the St. Louis schools. Principal Williams and Supt. Ben Blewitt are both insistent on the retention of the men and Superintendent Blewitt recommended them for re-appointment and they were confirmed by the Board. The school is in the same condition now that it was before the action Tuesday night. The men are just as unfit now as they have ever been and conditions are as much a menace to the well being of the school children as ever. This action changes the situation not one whit, nor will it lessen the determination on the part of the citizens to change them. Our cause is just and our trust is in God. This action will gain recruits and the battle will roll on with increasing fierceness until victory perches on the banner of right. The Argus takes this opportunity to correct an erroneous impression which has gone out. At the trial of the suit for damages which Ben Mosby brought against the Argus, et al, there was no question of guilt or innocence raised. The only question before the court and jury was whether Mosby's character had been damaged by the article which appeared in the Argus September 18, 1914. The jury decided that it had been damaged to the extent of one cent, and assessed that amount in damages against the defendants. Under the rules of law evidence tending to prove any thing else would not be admissable, and those who state that any other issue was before the court are either ignorant or malicious. K OF P. ENCAMPMENT AT COLUMBUS, O.. IN AUGUST New Orleans, La., June 12.—Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, of the Knights of Pythias, who is busily engaged making up his report, is preparing, he says, to preside over the greatest bi-ennial convention in the history of knighthood, when the Columbus session convenes. The Supreme Lodge opens August 17. Under command of Gen. R. R. Jackson, of Chicago, the encampment opens the Sunday previous, and already the Columbus, committee announces that the encampment will be the biggest thing the capital city of Ohio ever saw. More than 40,000 Pythian soldiers will be in camp. This will beat the Louisville encampment of 1907. Yes, we do job printing of all kinds. Argus Print, 2541 Market. ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,JUNE 18,1915. PORO COLLEGE FORMS ST. LOUIS ORGANIZATION Management Entartains Employees and City Agents with Delicious Luncheon. Much Enthusiasm Prevails During Session. To be Made Monthly Affair Monday afternoon was the introduction of a new feature at Poro College, when nineteen of the Poro agents of St. Louis and suburbs assembled at 3 o'clock and held a business session, at which time a permanent organization was formed with the following officers: Mrs. A. M. Pope Turnbo Malone, president; Mrs. Johnnie Pointer Marshall, vice-president; Miss Maudelle McMurray, secretary; Mrs. Rowena Wilkinson, assistant secretary; Mrs. Rosa Smith, treasurer. The following committees were appointed, the first named being chairman of each. Investigating Committee.—Miss Lea Buck, Miss Mattie Wilson, Miss Mamie Gregory, Mrs. Olivia Ross Gardner, Miss Tennie Kemper. Sick Committee.—Mrs. Emma Williams, Mrs. Victoria Wade, Mrs. Dannie Muthleb, Mrs. Argertha Hunter, Miss Rebecca Brown. Reception Committee.—Miss Bertie Johnson, Miss Mamie Taylor, Miss Carrie Winchester, Mrs. Annie Mac Larkins, Mrs. S. A. Mosely. Executive Committee.—Miss Regina McMurray, Miss Julia Gordon, Miss Frankie Baker, Mrs. N. H. Gibson, Mrs. Hazel Parrish. At 4:30 o'clock a photograph of the group was taken by Mr. Sexton, and at 5 they marched into the beautiful dining room, where an electrically lighted, dome shone on the extended dining table, which had been decorated with pink roses, white carnations and sweet peas. Covers were laid for the entire college force (fifty in all). While being served with the choicest menu of the season, each lady was called upon and responded with talks of the splendid results by their efforts in the Poro System. At the conclusion the representatives and college force joined in unanimous praise for the foundation of such a work, which employs such a vast number of girls and women This is another demonstration of the benevolent spirit of Mrs. Malone, one might think that with the beautiful site and spacious quarters of the college a desire to command the entire trade would exist, but it has always been the chief aim of Mrs. Malone to so systematize the work as to give an unlimited number of girls and women uplifting occupation. Believing "in union there is strength," regular monthly meetings are to be held to bring them in closer touch with each other. City Federation To Meet Here The City Federation will meet at the Mound City Social Settlement Shelter, House, Monday, June 28, at 2 p.m. Every club in the city is invited and urged to be represented. Special features of the meeting will be to inspect the shelter house and arrange to furnish the club room. 2nd. To arrange for a reception and lecture for Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, of Buffalo, N. Y., Vice-President of the National Association of Colored Women, and the piano recital of her daughter, Sara May, graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music. Mrs. Talbert and her accomplished daughter will reach St. Louis about July 15, 1915, and richly deserve the honor of addressing all the citizens. She is an exceptionally strong character and the leader of New York society. She is also President of the State Federation of New York; and wields a wonderful influence in affairs of state among both races. St. Louis is fortunate to have a visit from this distinguished character. Reception and Arrangement Committee The following Clubs are invited to be present and serve on the Reception and Arrangement Committee: Wednesday Sewing Club. Colored Women's Charity Club. Young Ladies' Reading Club. Yates' Improvement Club. King's Daughters. PAY-DAY PROVES BIG SUCCESS AT B.W. THEATRE Idea is a Profit-Sharing Plan, Voluntarily Introduced by Mr. Turpin. Thousands Come to Theater on Mondays and Thurdays to Get Envelopes On Monday, May 17, Charles Turpil, proprietor of the Booker Washington Theater, introduced a new idea heretofore untried in the amusement business. He termed it "Pay Day." Every patron who entered the theater was given an envelope containing his or her pay. These envelopes contained from 1 cent to $5 or a ten cent ticket of admission to the show. The innovation was so immensely popular that more than 5,000 persons visited the place and received their pay on the first night. Each succeeding Monday night has been practically as the first. Persons in all avenues of life, the business and professional men, the educators, the students, the clerks, the laborers, the mothers, fathers and the children, all have swarmed to the Booker Washington to receive their pay. So tremendously successful has been the innovation that Mr. Turpin now has two pay days each week, Mondays and Thursdays, and besides the money each envelope contains Eagle trading stamps in lots of 40 cents, $2, $4, $10, $20, and $40. At first the idea seemed, to the casual observer, only a novelty that, like its predecessors, would soon wear away; but the proposition has assumed a more serious aspect. "Pay Day" at the Booker Washington is a voluntary profit-sharing plan. It means to the patrons of America's latest amusement diversion-just what Henry Ford's innovation means to the world's greatest manufactory. It is but a step in the evolution of business ideas that will eventually cover all lines. Already the writer has been asked by merchants, "What can I do along the same line; to interest the public in my business?" Turpin, like Ford, is under no obligation to divide his profits with any one. His show is always worth more than 10 cents of anybody's money. That which is contained in the envelopes is a profit on the patron's investment which he generously gives. Of course, some are more fortunate in the amount than others, yet everybody gets something, and in the aggregate nearly $100 reverts back to the patrons on each pay night, Monday and Thursday. Among those who have received $5 each in their envelopes are Mrs. M. C. Snipes, 3100 Clark; Anna Brown, 2812 Washington; Frank Johnson, 2614 Lawton; Forrest Ellis, 4138 In Eagle Trading stamps Mrs. Florence Daves, 2631 Market Pl., received $40; Mrs. C. W. McGuire, 1525a Francis, $40; Elizabeth Love, 2624 Market, $10; Sarah Berger, 4137 Finney Ave., $10; Mrs. Susie LeGrand, 2037 Clark Ave., $20; Syvella West, 3333 Lawton, $10. Stamp books can be had on request at the box office. The doors of the theatre open at 6:30 p. m. daily. Harper Married Ladies. Informal Dames. Harper W. C. T. U. Paul Mite Missionary.

He came to Jesus with a ques- tion ‘concerning God's first and ME) tion concerning God's first an¢ great commandment for man, and the Master's answer places him at once in‘ his true position before the Lord. What Jesus told this young man o! Jong ago can still be sald of many today: “Thou are not far from. thc Kingdom of God.” ; 1. He was in a very promising posi- tion, “not far from the kingdom.” He was acquainted with the truth to & certain extent, being in the position of many today who are able to tel much about the trath of the Bible; but they themselves are still “with- out.” . He aleo assented to the truth, This, too, describes many of to day who make no profeasion of Chris. tianity; they not only know much of the truth, but they are quite ready to agree that it is truth. He aleo admired the One who told tim the truth: he came to Jesus. And it may safely be presumed that he attempted to live zhis creed," He was a sincere man who caught the at- tention of Jesus and drew from. him this word, “Thou are not far from.the Kingdom of God." A great trath {s here, vis, that one can be at the very 4oor of the kingdom and yet be finally lost. Some who read these words may be in the same position, at, the threshold—bat yet not in. 2. He wes in a very, painful mal: tion; Just at the door, but not inside, * “He would be condemned by bis com -aclence because of his acquaintance with the truth. It would ever be tell- ing him that he ought to step inside and delay no longer. An unheeded conscience is not pleasant to live with, and this young man's-position would be painful in spite of tts prom- tse, ‘He would also be condemned by his Feason because of his assent to the truth. To mow that a certain action is wise and yet not do it, is to dis “houor cne's reason. Yet many there | are today who have been brought to the gates of salvation but who have stifled the voices of conscience and reason and found themselves in the | distressing position of this young man. He would be condemned .by the words which Jesus addressed to him when he said, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart” | 8 He was in 9 very perilous post tion; he might never get into that | Mngdom from which he was then “not fr There was the danger that he rest content with mere assent to the truth. He would be like a traveler who might \go many daya and stop just one day's march from his goal; all his weary Journey would be useless without the |final day's work. To be within a step ‘of the kingdom of God and neglect to | that last step which. would pat lone over the threshold is to take one’s place with all the unsaved. There was the danger, too, that he \ahould put off the final step ‘too long {and his consctence become hardened jand leave him without its warning ‘tones, a avail, “almost” is bat Bad, ead, the bitter wail, “Almost, bat lost." A distinguished preacher tells of a {gentleman who heard someone preach from this text, and as the danger of eglect was presented he felt he was \but~a_step from salvation. Instead, jhowever,\of taking that last step ‘which between his soul ad life, he. put {t off and ‘returned to his ‘home. Retiring, he fell into a reatleds sleep and began to dream.

In it are pre sented complaint, prayer ‘and confi dent hope of relief. It is a petition for deliverance from sing to which his af fictions ‘tempted him, and. from’ the enemlga who caused his aMiction. 1. Prayer, “My ‘prayer- directed’ (vy. 1, 2) There is good teason for ‘Delleving David wrote this while go ing through the experience recorded in I Samuel 24. “It ia evident he ts passing through a time of great stress and was-in dire need of-help far. b urges “haste” in giving heed to-bl call, (Luke 18:18). David looks .to Jehovah as his only and sure helper. We are told to omit the first word “unto” in this verse and to read, “I have called thee.” Every human help had failed and faith fearlessly turns ta God. Can God be urged? Surely we are taught that God respects his “remembrancers” who cry “day and night” (Psalm 40:18; 69:17, 18; 70:5} 71:12; 143:7). To fold the bands weakly and to “bide his time” fs usu- ally an evidence of spiritual debility and of a desire to shirk the work Involved in a true exercise of prayer. ‘True faith knows but one way of de- liveranoe, that of prayer (Phil 4:6, 7), and those who call in faith get deliv- erance (Rom. 10:13). Such prayer, the fruit of heart and lips, is before God “as incense” and its effectiveness does not depend upon its being pre- sented in the tabernacle—it is a “sac- rifice” of praise wellpleasing to God. We are to pray to God through bis Son and in the Holy Spirit. Such Prayer is set forth before him as a sacrifice of sweet smelling savor. M. Practice, “Incline not my heart + +» to practice wicked works’ (y, 4). Buch prayer as here suggested demands s preparation of purity. As the “incense” was prepared with great care (Ex. 30:36) and its fre- grance was brought out by fre (Rom. 8:26, 37; Eph. 6:18), a0 likewise there must be a continual practice of prayer and_an absence. of..‘wicked works.” In no way are we so apt to sin as with our-lps, but back of the lips is the heart (Matt, 15:11; Luke 6:45). ‘The tongue can no man tame (James 3:8), yet God Is able and his-way is to cleanse the ‘fountain To have the mouth filled first with prayer and Praise and then with evil is contrary to reason and to God’s commands, David recognized that the heart is the source of “wicked works,” end prayed that he be not even. “inclined” to them (Matt. 6:18; Jam. 1:18). If he “keeps the door” we have a safe guard Pa. 2:1). - M1. Position, “Let him reprove me” vy. &-7. “Faithful are the wounds of 8 friend.” This seems to be the po- sition David desired to occupy, one that would be “a kindness” to bim. Bach correction is as sweet off Oil is healing and soothing and here sym Dolizes the healing effect of correc: tion" Fools hate reproof, wise men plead for it. David not only welcomed wisdom but (see R. V.) promises to pray for such friends when calamities come upon them and in the time when they are overcome by wickedness. When such are cast down by the rocky roadside “they shall hear my words,” says David, and they will be sweet. ‘The psalmist’s experience, when hunt- ed as a partridge, taught him how to appreciate the petitions of Jonathan, —his friend, whose words to him were “sweet.” A careful reading of verse seven reveals David's dire extremity (see. Am. R. V.). Death stared him im the face. His soul was torn as “one Ploweth and cleaveth the earth.” IV. Protection. “In thee dol put my trust” (R.V.). ‘Though this brought low David knew where to turn, and ope to whom he could look. The church of Christ needs to look to God, to become like him. It needs the transforming, encouraging, energizing vision. David is now taking his-eyes off the difficulties and fixing them on the one who enables lilm to over come. “Look unto me and be ye saved.” Literally his prayer 16 “make not my soul naked” or “pour mot out my soul.” ‘Whoever else a man harms by his sin he harms himself most.

Hawkins, Secs * 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 pleas- ‘ure 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 Man- ager, 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 con- cerning the company was that they were paying their claims and forging to the front. And as evidence of that jact 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 fs 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 sther company. I am a booster and have no time to knock. A knocker never won anything by knocking.” We found Mr. Hawkins very opti- vnistic on the question of the future ‘or colored insurance agents in this city and said that though the com- vany was always willing to promote ind encourage the agents to go to ther cities where they might have fall charge of a district, he was loath to give up anyone of his force on ac- ‘oumt of the peace and harmony that ‘cist among them at present.

Pues has never produced a greater statesman than Franklin, who was revered by the people second ‘only to Yonoran He wasa signer of both the tion of lodepentt ence and the Cénstitution of the United States, and his wisdom made the latter a possibility. The great Lord Chatham pronounced him not only an honor to the Anglo-Saxon people, but to human nature. In every capitol of Europe he was a welcome guest, and he it was who induced France to lend us ships, men and money during the darkest days of the Revolution. Upon his death Congress ordered a poral mourning of a month. In ‘rance it was decreed that all members of the national assembly should wear mourning for,three days. So long as Amenicans treasure the Repulic and Personal Liberty as the noblest of all human blessings, the fame of Franklin can never perish. Personally he was Possessed of robust health; he was a wall shaped man, of a wise but merry nature; he had the head of a Greek philosopher, while his grace, his noble Fisttors te Se: Lanis are cure HOTEL DALE oT iia: me aaie ieee) 17 WN J.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION THE GRADUATE season of the year when the public schools open thousands of graduates from the grade of the country, the boys and girls that leave the problem for the parents or guardian. Yes, it is a problem to themselves. Just think, for their lives they have spent the greater port of schoolroom. But now they are out, full of calling and ready to work and thereby contend industrial and commercial progress of the city confronted with a problem. They lack that ambition. Their parents have worked hard and night, to keep their children in school, we failed in the most essential thing, namely Negro industries." Being men of our race, when they leave high of them, will say, "I will seek a government girls will say, "I will seek to teach." Why or such choices? All cannot be teachers; ment positions. Now, the thing for each to the men of the race; call on them to do and girls, and after calling on them to do our own mind to help the men to help our organizing the men in business. I wisely said that "He who seeks to expose rendered a greater service to his fellow-men cover up the evils that men do." There is a statement. While we are told in the Holy is overtaken in a fault to admonish him." At this season of the year when the public schools are closing their doors upon thousands of graduates from the grades and high schools of the country, the boys and girls that leave these schools become a problem for the parents or guardian. Yes, and more, they become a problem to themselves. Just think, for ten or fifteen years of their lives they have spent the greater portion of their time in the schoolroom. But now they are out, full of youth and ambition, willing and ready to work and thereby contribute their share to the industrial and commercial progress of the community. But they are confronted with a problem. They lack opportunity to cultivate that ambition. Their parents have worked and toiled, perhaps day and night, to keep their children in school, but most of them have failed in the most essential thing, namely, "The building of Negro industries." The young men of our race, when they leave high school, or at least most of them, will say, "I will seek a government position." The young girls will say, "I will seek to teach." Why? Who is responsible for such choices? All cannot be teachers; all cannot secure government positions. Now, the thing for each parent to do is to look to the men of the race; call on them to do something for our boys and girls, and after calling on them to do something, resolve in your own mind to help the men to help our boys and girls by patronizing the men in business. It was wisely said that "He who seeks to expose the wrongs of men has rendered a greater service to his fellow-man than he who seeks to cover up the evils that men do." There is much truth in the above statement. While we are told in the Holy Writ that "If a brother is overtaken in a fault to admonish him," but never "cover up."

In fact, bad parlor manners I as bad street manners, because they do many people. I coarse laughter, congregating on the side the progress of passersby, expectorating ites rubbers necessary—these are all very we are concerned as a race, bad street m a very damaging result, a more damaging ones would be Good manners are not merely for the parlor; they apply equally as well to the street. In fact, bad parlor manners are not so detrimental as bad street manners, because they do not affect and annoy as many people. Loud and coarse laughter, congregating on the sidewalks so as to impede the progress of passersby, expectorating in one spot until it makes rubbers necessary—these are all very bad street manners. So far as we are concerned as a race, bad street manners on our part have a very damaging result, a more damaging result than the same manners would have indulged in by others. And this is because so few people of the other race know anything about how we live in our homes, but judge us almost entirely by our conduct in public. This being true, it is not fair for a few, by their bad street manners, to make a bad impression for the whole race. It is plainly the duty of each of us to use our influence to correct bad street manners among us wherever we see them practiced. Good homes for the people's everyday life are more necessary than churches for their Sunday resort. The Home was founded before the Church, and we of the Afro-American race stand more in need of homes than we do of churches. The child in the country has abundant play space, and too few companions. The child in the city has too many companions and too little play space. Yet we will sit stupidly and indifferently wondering why our children are going to the devil so fast—getting rotten before they are ripe. "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein;" and "they that dwell therein" have rights superior to the rights of real-estate speculators. If the Church has no better program for the social service of the community, then Church Extinction—not Church Extension—is the duty of the day. PRESIDENT OF THE STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY HERE Herman E. Perry, president of Standard Life Insurance of Atlanta, Ga., is in the city looking after the interest of the company. Mr. Perry expects to appoint a man to take charge of the local office here, as Mr. C. K. Robinson has given up the work. The Standard Life is the only old line life insurance company owned and controlled by negroes in the world. It is capitalized at $100,000. NEGRO GETS SALARY OF $10,000 Joseph Ray is the name of the Colored man who was in California with Chas. Schwab, the steel magnate, and his party, for a few hours last week. Mr. Ray is the right-hand man of the magnate and receives a salary of $10,000 per year. He signs Mr. Schwab's name to checks, pays all bills and arranges all details of the trip. Before visitors can see Mr. Schwab, they must first state their business to Mr. Ray, then it is up to him to decide whether or not they will be admitted. Mr. Ray has been with Mr. Schwab for many years and is rated a wealthy man. Preparations are being made to entertain the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, which will convene in this city, July 27.

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" bias. To do it well 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 as cook and housemaid And have as nurse, 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 a 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 Of 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 hats and thin Each strand a standing to itself And signing 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 hundred, 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 Pore." 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.

King, Proprietor Of The Garden Airdome 2120 Market Street First, patronize those places that give your race employment. When you don't feel like going to Forest Park Highlands, come to the Garden Airdome where you are always welcome. (Blood is thicker than water.) How many white odeons on Market St. employ colored help?—All of our employees are Colored. We spent Eight Hundred Dollars in improvements, and every dollar was paid to Colored workmen. How many white odeans on Market St. have done as much for the race? If you think you are doing right by spending all of your nickles in white odeons, let your daughter apply for a position as Cashier at one of them; and please let us know if she gets the position. We are giving our patrons the best moving pictures that money can buy, even though we are forced to send to Chicago to get them because the white odeon proprietors on Market St. have bought up all of the local service in an effort to keep us from doing business among our own people. For any further information along this line, see Mr. King, 2120 Market St. at the Garden Airdome.—Adv. A joint picnic of the Delany and Wheatley Schools will be given at ground 1 and 2, Carondelet Park, Tuesday, June 15, to which the patrons and friends of the schools are invited. J. W.

BASEBALL THE FAMOUS WEST BADEN SPRUDELS COMING BACK Will Play the Giants Sunday, Monday and Tuesday Chappie Johnson and his famous Spruedels will play a return engagement with Charlie Mills' Giants at Kuebler Park Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The West Baden boys broke even with our boys in the last series and as there is much rivalry between the two teams all three games are going to be hard fought. The Spruedels are the classiest bunch of players that have been seen here in years. They have won 23 out of 35 games and are always in good trim. Casey, the lefthanded mound artist, who beat the Giants in the last series, will probably perform Sunday. It will be up to String Beans if he is in shape. Baseball is hard to case. The Memphis Giants looked like champions in their last game with Mills team Monday. Wallace and company had to keep on their toes to win 3 to 1. Omaha showed up badly, losing to the Giants Sunday and to Memphis Monday.

Admirers of High-Grade Pictures Now Patronize House on Market Near Jefferson At one time it seemed that "Jinks" was master of the picture theater at 2349 Market St., but this was before Thomas James took charge of the place. Judging by the past, wise heads were not slow in reading his doom. They said he could not make it go, but Tommie did succeed and his methods are a good lesson that others might well study. James, although a mere boy, was an experienced picture promoter. When he reopened "The Movie." He did not sit down and wait for patrons to fill his theater before getting up-to-date pictures for their entertainment, but he went out and got the best that was to be had. He advertised and the people came. They were satisfied and came again, and again, bringing others. The result is, that every day the Movie is well filled with the city's best people and they are being shown all the latest and best pictures as fast as the film companies turn them out. Mr. James also possesses another faculty that is essential to success. He is a gentleman, and being so is courteous, unbiased and painstaking. He is always on the alert to please his patrons and nothing is too good for them. Several of the pictures that have been shown in his place lately have only appeared otherwise in 10 cent houses; but James never varies from his regulation 5 cent rule. We need not say he should succeed. He has accomplished that by his ingenious, honest and courteous methods. The Movie is as cool as a cucumber these hot days, and will remain open all summer. Friday, June 17.—Millionaire's Hundred Dollar Bill. Saturday, June 18.—Custer's Last Scout. Every Tuesday—Tom Mix, the Famous Cowboy. Every Friday, "Hazards of Helen." ALONZO MOORE FEATURES BOOKER WASHINGTON BILL Alonzo Moore, the magician, almost monopolizes the show at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. Mr. Turpin has given Mr. Moore plenty of latitude and he utilizes it with a series of mystic feats that are both wonderful and interesting. Moore sets up a young menagerie on the stage and does tricks with rabbits, ducks, dogs, pigeons, etc. His silver coin manipulation offer much amusement. He does other tricks with balls, cards, flowers and eggs. His casket trick, filled with thrills, is still his feature act. Moore is in a class with the world's greatest magicians, a rare treat which should not be missed this week. Johnson and Britton, a singing and dancing team, are well received. Their comedy is good, although some of it is rather antiquated. They dance well. Gains and Brown, did very little Monday night that was worth noting. They may be doing better now. In the team of Day and Howard that played here last week, the lady's name was Irene Howard, not Day, as appeared under her picture.

Lady Attendant. Weak Mediums Developed. NOTE—Those calling for patience, serious and frivolous persons are only wasting 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 life has been a journey through theous 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 told. The separated are brought to 6128 EASTON AVENUE JUST 30 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY Office hours: Daily, 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. and Saturday to 7 p. m. Low Fee, 50c. H. GRANNEMANN, Prop. PLUNGER FIRST-CLASS WINES, L Phone, Bomont 2311 A gather, foes are made friends, lost property is recovered, the mist is brushed away from business ventures, the hand is so guided that failures are averted, the earth's surface is explored, its treasure ladda bare to his mysterious perceptive mind, and while he gives names, dates, facts and figures, his visitor sits dumfounded at the revelations he makes to He. He is surely a man of the passing, time. GLADSTONE is not a chairvoyant 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 disappointment 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.
