75 YEARS OF AFRICAN METHODISM IN MISSOURI Tri-Quarto Centennial Celebration of A. M. E. Establishment West of the Mississippi River, to be Held in Various Churches, July 4 to 7 Seventy-five years ago, Wm. Paul Quinn came to the shores of the "Father of Waters" (Mississippi River) and stood upon its Eastern bank and preached across its waters to the Negroes in St. Louis, who hungered and thirsted for the bread of life. As soon as he was permitted to do so, he crossed over into St. Louis, and organized the African Methodist Episcopal Church—the first among Negroes in Missouri and the West. As the years passed by, Thos. M. D. Ward went to the Pacific Coast, and John M. Brown to New Orleans and the southwest. These fathers of the church, although they suffered bonds and afflictions, yet with unfaltering trust in God they stood as the beaten anvil to the stroke. They passed on to the haven of peace and rest by the quiet waters of life, in the everlasting city of God. Their name and memory, rich with the holy spoils of peaceful triumph, come to us as a glorious heritage, and an inspiration to carry on to a final consummation the work by them so well and wisely begun.

African Methodism, the orifamme of Negro religious freedom and manhood, is the gift of these men to the West and to the generations of today. Seventy-five years ago a few trembling slaves stood upon the murky bank of the sullen Mississippi and listened to the message of peace from this brave ambassador of God. But today a mighty host of loyal sons and daughters of Allen, with banners outflung, join in one voice of praise to those who have gone before. In commemoration of this great and important event in Christian history, a celebration will be held in the various A. M. E. Churches beginning Sunday, July 4 and ending Friday, July 9. Rt. Rev. H. B.

Fireworks to be a Feature. The Charity Carnival continues to draw good crowds each night. During the past week a record-breaking crowd has been in attendance. Manager Robt. McCloskey seemed very much encouraged with the success of the affair this far, and stated that since the other attractions nearby, larger crowds are coming his way. Special attractions have been secured for Sunday, July 4: Fireworks equal almost to Pain's, will be a feature. A band of music is present each evening, and a nice pavilion is arranged, so that those who so desire, may dance to their heart's content. No extra charges. Everybody welcome. Rev. Parker At Kansas City Rev. J. K. Parker, pastor Pleasant Green Baptist Church of this city, was summoned to Kansas City last Saturday by a brother minister of that city on some very "important" business according to the message. On his arrival at Kansas City, he was informed that the important business was to perform a ceremony that would unite his old friend, the Rev. J. W. Clay, in holy wedlock, which Rev. Parker gladly accepted. The bride was Mrs. Lula Smith, of Oklahoma City, Okla. The couple were quietly married at the home of the bride's father, J. W. Smith, Edington and Water Streets. Rev. Clay is the pastor of King Sóloman's Baptist Church of Kansas City, a life-long friend of Rev. Parker. ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,JULY 2,1915. CRYSTAL CITY OPENS WITH BIG PARADE Big Crowds Force Enlargement of Place. Wild West Show Opens July 5. Fourth of July Celebration Monday. Promptly at 5:30 p. m. Monday a large automobile parade left the New Metropolitan A. M. E. Z. Church, Garrison and Lucas. Business and professions of all kinds took part in this mammoth parade. The distribution of cards and circulars was enthusiastically indulged in by those who took part. This parade surpassed all previous events and requests from all sides are calling on Rev. Shaw to repeat it. AT CRYSTAL CITY Despite the rain and threatening weather, a large crowd was present at the formal opening of Crystal City. The bigness of this affair was beyond expectations of the most staunch supporters of Dr. Shaw, and the most skeptical are now predicting success. More than the attractions that were advertised may be seen on the grounds. Space will not allow us to tell all. By Tuesday night it was found necessary to enlarge the grounds for the pony track. Other attractions are the balloon, railroad, flying-Jenny, Pnch and Judy, Prof. Franklin's educated dogs and Ty Cobb's booth. NOTHING DOING at Crystal City Sunday, July 4. Monday, July 5, wild west circus will entertain the people. The first show at 3 p. m. and at 9 p. m. Admission, including the circus, will be 25 cents. Children, 15 cents. One ticket will be good for afternoon and night. Dr. Shaw wishes to thank the people of St. Louis for their loyal support thus far. ALL SAINTS CHURCH PICNIC The All Saints S. S. Picnic will be given at O'Fallon Park July 7. The members will leave the church in a body at 9 a. m. Tennessee Honors ColoredPhysician Dr. Jasper Tappan Phillips Appointed Monitor by State Medical Board. DR. JASPER TAPPAN PHILLIPS Special to the Argus: Nashville, Tenn., June 30.—The Tennessee State Medical Board convened in this city on the 26th, inst., in the Senate Hall at the Capitol. The examinations were conducted by Dr. Geo. O. Butler and Dr. Benj. L. Simmons, members of the Board. There was a large number of Colored applicants, and Dr. J. T. Phillips was appointed monitor, assisted by Dr. J. J. Leach. He is the first Colored man to receive such distinction anywhere in the country, and the fact that he has served three successive years in this position proves that his services have been eminently satisfactory. Dr. Phillips is the youngest son of Bishop Chas. Henry Phillips, of Nashville, and is an A. B. from Fisk University, and an M. D. from Mehairy Medical College. He passed the Medical Board in his junior year at Mehairy and since his graduation a few years ago he has had brilliant success as a general practitioner. Besides being a member of the Y. M. C. A. committee he is also a member of the Negro Board of Trade, the Boosters, and other well-known civic institutions of Nashville. At the recent commencement of Fisk University the alumnae of both the college and normal departments combined and elected him their first president. The young doctor is genial, affable and alert, and today is one of the most active members of the race in Nashville. He enjoys a large and increasing practice.

General Butler has been prominent in all national encampments of the Uniform Rank, Knight of Pythias, and it is but fitting that he should be a conspicuous figure in the next encampment to be held in Columbus, Ohio. In August. He has been detailed o proceed one week in advance of the date to prepare the camps for Mme. C. J. Walker Illustrated Lecture The St. Paul Mite Missionary Society and St. Louis Chapter, Order Eastern Star, have secured the services of Mme. C. J. Walker, noted hair culturist of Indianapolis, for an illustrated lecture at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, Monday evening, July 19, 1915. This lecture is particularly interesting, as it will show the growth of Madam Walker's business in ten years and property holdings of more than $100,000 in value. Madam Walker will also show the progress of other noted Negroes. St. Louis is proud of Mme Walker's success in business, especially because she is a St. Louis woman that has climbed to fame. All are invited to hear her. The price of admission is only 10 cents. Committee of Arrangements.—Mrs. Jessie D. Robinson, Chr., Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley, Mrs. D. W. Anthony. Escorts to Madam Walker.—St. Paul Mite Missionary Society and St. Louis Chapter, O. E. S. New Automobile Tailoring And Cleaning Service Chas, Q. Clark, formerly of Clark and Smith, has opened a tailoring shop at 3406 La Salle St. Mr. Clark has purchased a delivery automobile. He plans to give the people the quick and reliable service they demand and says, "Don't pack your clothes to a tailor, use your phone; he will call for your work and deliver it in double quick time." Mr. Clark has had 16 years' experience in the tailoring business, and is well qualified to give the best satisfaction. Besides high-grade tailoring, he is cleaning, pressing and repairing all garments, carpets and draperies. He also does a rental business in full dress suits. The change Mr. Clark has made enables him to give prices at a third less than formerly: It is no longer necessary to worry. No matter what part of the city you live in if you wish tailoring, cleaning or pressing work, or your guests are in need of service, phone Grand 835M or Victor 3525X and have an automobile call for your work. the many thousands who will go into them the following week. Accompanying him will be engineers and signal officers and he will employ a score of civilians upon his arrival there to help with the preparations for the monster parade and camp grounds. He is to prepare everything for the comfort of every man from the Sir Knight to the Major-General. Mary B. Talbert To Speak Here The City Federation of Colored Women presents Mrs. Mary B. Talfert, of Buffalo, N. Y., Vice-President National Association of Colored Women, President State Federation of New York, and her daughter, Miss Sara May, graduate of New England Conservatory of Music, on Friday evening, July 16, at St. Paul A.

PRICE 5 CENTS MAJORS AGAIN TOURING THE SOUTHERN STATES Demonstrates Oxford Hair Preparations in Birmingham. Organizes Oxford Clubs. Will Visit Chicago Soon. Special to the Argus: Birmingham, Ala., June 18.—The President, W. L. Majors, of the Majors' Oxford College of Hair Culture, has been in the city one week working in the interest of his agents. Quite a number of new agents have enrolled. He also organized what is known as the Birmingham Oxford Club, the officers as follows: Mrs. Amelia C. Cyrus, President, 218 N. 42nd St. Avondale; Mrs. Annie P. Meeks, Vice-President, 216 Hillman St.; Miss Willis, Secretary, 1229 45th St.; Miss Maggie M. Clark, Assistant Secretary, 718 Charles St. Mr. Majors also demonstrated one of his electric machines Sunday, the 13th, and the people were carried away with the wonderful devices, and also has a special invitation to demonstrate Friday night of this week. Mr. Majors while in the city visited a small number of the suburban towns in company with a few of his agents, and the people throughout the small cities have been loud in their praise for the Oxford College and a number have enrolled. He also has a special invitation extended to him by Dr. A. M. Brown, President of the Medical Association, to demonstrate at the Medical Association in Chicago. The Birmingham Oxford Club held its first meeting at the Alabama Penny Prudential Savings Bank. The following officers were elected: Mrs. Amelia C. Cyrus, President; Mrs. Annie P. Meeks, Vice-President; Mrs. Willis, Secretary; Miss Maggie M. Clark, Assistant Secretary. The meeting was closed at the Thirdgood C. M. E. Church. The different agents gave a short talk of what they thought of the work. It seems that the most important thing that impresses the agents with Mr. Majors' preparations is: The hair oils are made of the finest materials, the hair grows soft and wavy, the unique feature being that in a few minutes after the application, the grease cannot be detected. It has been proven that these oils make their way into the fiber tube, come in contact with the potatum, thus protecting the hair and scalp from the materials that are injurious. Treatments can be given once a month with as much success as in the usual way. On Sunday afternoon, June 13, at 5 p.m., there was a special meeting of the Birmingham District Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association in the office of Dr. A. M. Brown. Many members and visitors were present. Dr. J. A. Lester, of Nashville, made a very interesting talk on the exhibit of the Southern Negroes' progress along professional lines, which exhibit will be shown at the fiftieth year celebrations of the Negroes' freedom in Chicago at the time of N. M. A. annual meeting in August. Prof. W. L. Majors, president of the Oxford College of Hair Culture of St. Louis, gave a very interesting talk on electricity and proceeded to show many things with his electric machine of his own invention, that were helpful, original and beneficial. At the conclusion of his demonstration, he received an ovation and was given a special invitation by the local association to be present at the N. M. A. in August. ADDRESSES WANTED Of Hugh M.

LOUIS ARGUS TEXT—And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose, and ministered unto them—Matthew 8:14, 15. Peter's house was in Capernaum. He was a native of Bethsaida, but may have changed his residence to suit Christ's ministry the better; it was in this house at Capernaum that his wife's mother lay sick as the text records. Her fever and its cure suggests the fever of sin and Christ's dealing with it. Fever brings heat. Last or drink becomes a fire in the blood, and the fever of covetousness is no less consuming. Men seem sometimes to be in a delirium of rage against the Gospel and the martyrs have been stricken down by men who were in a passion for no other reason save that these preached Christ. Fever brings restlessness. Sin does not satisfy and the wicked are like the troubled sea, which cannot rest. Like the rough sea, that cannot rest, You live, devoid of peace; A thousand stings within your breast Deprive your soul of ease. A young man of wealth once went to Dr. Forbes Winslow, seeking relief for a peculiar mental distress. This distinguished physician could find no malady which medicines could reach, and at last obtained from the young man a confession that his trouble came from the fact that he was haunted, in the midst of luxury, with this question, "Where shall I spend eternity?" Fever is attended by thirst. Christ appealed to a weary world when he cried, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink." Only those who have tried the broken cisterns of earth can sing with full appreciation that line in the old hymn, "Jesus hath satisfied. Jesus is mine." As the first step towards the cure, "Jesus came into Peter's house." We sound the good news that he is not far from any of us. Many testify to the reality of divine power in their lives, and Charles Spurgeon declared that for many years he was never for fifteen minutes without the conscious presence of Christ. Then there came actual contact with the sick woman: "He touched her hand." How wonderfully it illustrates the fact that he bore our sicknesses, taking hold of the seed of Abraham. He is not an absentee God, but a present Helper, laying his hand upon our corruption for its cleansing. The rabbis had a saying that when Messiah should come he would be found among the lepers at the gate, for he would come to bless and save. Luke adds another line to the picture, saying, "He stood over her and rebuked the fever." His voice is still mighty. We think of the multitudes who waited on the ministry of Charles Spurgeon and found the word of God, as he spoke it, quick and powerful. And we should recall that all the fruitfulness of Spurgeon's life came out of the fact that he once heard a plain man cry out this invitation of God, "Look unto me and be ye saved;" these simple words contained some of the power which rebuked the woman's fever and, on another occasion, brought Lazarus to the tomb. "The fever left her." Multitudes who have had a worse malady, even the fever of sin, have been as promptly and fully delivered. Service followed the healing immediately, for the woman "arose and ministered unto them." How wonderful that to us is still given the privilege of ministering to our Lord! All life becomes sacred when it is a service unto him. "Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as unto the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for ye serve the Lord Christ." Many, pressed down to despair by sin, have heard the word of Christ, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." St. Augustine, for example, was once far from being a saint. He had plunged into the sins of a great city and wasted his substance in riotous living. But upon his fever-laden soul the finger of Christ was laid, and instantly the fever left him. Shortly after his conversion an evil woman, his mistress, passed him in the street. She cried after him, "It is I, Augustine." "But it is not I," he answered. He had been made whole and was a new man in Christ Jesus. But the mission of Christ reaches farther "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." PETER H. Soundness. A Double Promise. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (BE. O. SELLERS. Acting Director of Courses in Acting of Moody Bible Institute, Chicago). LESSON FOR JULY 4 ABSALOM'S FAILURE LESSON TEXT-II Samuel 18:1-15 GOLDEN TEXT-Children obey your parents in the Lord; for this is right—Ephesians 6:1 His connivance with Joab, in the death of Uriah, was a costly bargain for David, and the development of sin in his family with its long train of fearful consequences teaches us that sin respects not person nor position. The dark story of chapter 13 involves Absalom's flight and Joab's strategy in getting him back to Jerusalem (ch. 14). All is not as well, however, as it outwardly appears, for Absalom the beautiful (14:25) soon stole the heart of the ten tribes, Israel (ch. 15), from his indulgent and indifferent parent. Then follows the story of that father's flight and of the son's entry into the capital city This entire story is one of the most wonderful dramas recorded in secular or sacred history. It may be divided roughly as follows: Act I. Absalom slays his brother. Act II. David fails to become fully reconciled. Act III Absalom's rebellion Act IV. David's grief. The lesson for today has to do with Acts III and IV. Act III. Scene 1. David's Flight and Finesse, chapters 15, 16 and 17. "A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him" (Prov. 17:25) On the other hand an indulgent and an indifferent father brings grief to his son. Scene 2. The Battle of Mount Ephraim (chapter 19). David at the Gate, v. 1. 5. The place where David "numbered" (v. 1) his followers was Mahalaim (17:27), where Jacob saw the two "hosts" of angels (Gen. 32:1, 2). What David saw was quite different. As he waited he had time to contemplate that other time that he remained behind when he ought to have gone forth to battle and which resulted in the sin for which he was even now suffering (ch. 11:1-7). Absalom was shrewd as men count shrewdness, but he made one fatal omission in planning his campaign, he left God out of his reckoning (ch. 17:14 R. V.). David's use of Hushai was fully justified by the situation into which the reckless son was precipitated, still it is probable that David listened to the advice of his followers (v. 3) more willingly because of his reluctance to fight against his own son. Scene 3. Abalom's Defeat, vv. 6-10. The battle was so planned that the advantage of the forest was on David's side and more of the enemies of David were smitten by the hand of God (v. 8) than were slain by the servants of David. These men brought judgment upon themselves through their disloyalty to God's chosen king (Judges 5:20, 21) and in this we see a type of that final victory which shall end our David's engagement with his foes (Rev. 79:11-21; II Thess. 2:8). Men who today are disloyal or disobedient to God's chose. King can only expect "a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation which shall devour the adversaries" (Heb. 10:27). At the end of the battle proud Abalom is not found in his charlot, but helplessly entangled in the crown of his pride. Scene 4. Abalom's Death, vv. 11-15. "Absalom chanced to meet" (v. 9 R. V.); there is no chance in the providences of God. His desire to meet David's servants is granted, yet that meeting brought Absalom dismay, defeat and ruin. Joab now takes matters into his own hands. He held David in his power and had a debt to pay Absalom (ch. 14:29). Most dearly did Absalom pay the penalty to this vengeful, timeabiding soldier. Joab was not content to slay this proud, youth, but, to show his contempt, he cast the dead body into a pit and raised over it a "great heap" of stones (v. 17). So Abalom's proud monument (v. 18) failed of its intended purpose. David's victory was complete; even so will be the ultimate victory of our "greater David" (Phil. 2:10, 11). Act IV. David's Grief. v. 19-33. Scene 1. The Messenger. Again our attention is centered upon the grief-stricken father. His anxiety is sincere and heart-breaking, but it is tardy. The first messenger, Alhimaa, is a good man, but brings not good news. Is our message one of life or of death? The second messenger gives a diplomatic but a blunt answer to David's anxious inquiry. What cared David for his enemies, his army, nay for himself, if only the "young man" were safe. Application. "Is the young man safe?" Industrially, socially, physically, morally, spiritually, his safety depends upon the guidance of the home, the father and the church. Only as parents hear and obey the Master's words, "Bring thy son hither" (Luke 9:41) is the young man safe. David's sin was not, however, sufficient cause for Absalom's downfall; he courted his own ruin (John 5:40). The great outstanding lesson of this entire drama, extending from the eleventh to the nineteenth chapters, is: "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." 1 Prompt Service Phone, B NO ONE CAN MOVE PETER MOVING Packing, Shipping and Store Second-Hall FULL LINE OF SPRING AND D Full Dress LEVY GREEN Oliver 711 North Sixth Street OULVEY'S The Old JEFFERSON AND CUT RATE This Store is often in Packing, Shipping and Storage.

"FRAME Benjamin Franklin— AMERICA has never produced a greater statesman than Franklin, who was revered by the people second only to Washington. He was a signer of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution 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 general mourning of a month. In France it was decreed that all members of the national assembly should wear mourning for three days. So long as Americans treasure the Republic 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 well-shaped man, of a wise but merry nature; he had the head of a Greek philosopher, while his grace, his noble Visitor to St. Louis are our touly invited to inspect our plant covers 143 acres.

Right of Kings." Let us have peace. One year ago last Monday, June 28, 1914, a crime was committed. The Austrian archduke, Francis Ferdinand, and his wife were assassinated in a little obscure town of Serajero, by a poor student by the name of Garvio Prinzip. To the world at large, this at first appeared but one of the repetitions of history's many royal casualties, but it has proved the embryo of the bloodiest struggle in the existence of mankind. It has resulted in a dozen nations, including the world's greatest powers, going to war. Today, England, Russia, Italy, France, Japan, Belgium, Montenegro and Servia, on one side, against Germany, Austria and Turkey, on the other, are in a death struggle. For what? In one year six million men have been killed, wounded or taken prisoners. More than 500 ships have been sunk, monuments of classic art have been destroyed, and thousands of acres of land have been soaked in human blood. For what? Billions of dollars have been invested in powder, shot, shell and chemicals to destroy millions of souls. The commerce of the world has been paralyzed, and all its people are suffering. So stupendous is this great, inhuman struggle, so barbarous its methods, that few not actually engaged can conceive of its horror; yet we have felt its cruel sting in the sinking of the Lusatania by a German submarine. The greatest writers, most learned students of war strategy, are now telling us that when this merciless strife has ended, nothing will have been gained—nothing more than that ten million or more lives will have been sacrificed to demonstrate the efficiency of modern agencies of destruction and the "Divine Right of Kings." Let us have peace. .. A REPUBLIC AT LAST public is to be congratulated upon having at is alive in all its parts.

For 45 years, first by violence and then by legislation, we have endured the reproach that one article of the fundamental law was blank paper whenever it pleased a local sovereignty to ignore it. Today, by the unanimous decree of a court presided over by a great Chief Justice who was once a Confederate soldier, we have a Constitution that for the first time since the Civil War guarantees equal rights to all, irrespective of race or color. Thousands of white men have as much reason to applaud this judgment as any negro. Every outcast in a republic, for color or religion or race alone, gives oligarchy, bigotry and aristocracy an excuse for banishing others on any ground that prejudice may name.—New York World. Let us not forget that, notwithstanding our position and the fruitless praise of men, we live and occupy our place in the thinking of the people who know us; and all of our words and acts lead them to conclusions about us. We sometimes become careless as to what those conclusions shall be; and that is where we fail! The Democrats surely feel under many obligations to the Progressive party for helping them in for four years. Now is the time to play your politics. Don't wait until the campaign is hot, for a fellow at that time is likely to make "campaign promises." Some of the master minds of the world today are striving to see who will be the first to discover or invent the thing that will render mankind the greatest service. Many suggestions have been made as to what that thing could possibly be. We should suggest a cure for insanity. People who are prejudiced are suffering with a kind of disease that incapacitates them of right thinking or action. They cannot properly judge.

BASE BALL ```markdown ``` THE WORLD'S FINEST MUSICIAN BUSTER and BAILEY PLENTY OF GOOD TALENT ON BOOKER WASHINGTON BILL THIS WEEK Four acts, all good, comprise the program at the Booker Washington Theater this week. There is plenty of real talent displayed and an entertaining hour of fun and frolic is the result. Joe Simms opens the show. Mr. Simms has an individual way of spreading the monologue salve, and it has the desired effect. He is extremely humorous, without being vulgar, and his efforts score appreciative applause. His song, "If This World is Round, It's Crooked" Just the Same," is a hit. Harris and Turner, favorites here, open lively with song and dance, followed by a little eccentricity by Mr. Harris, which brings on a spirited dialogue of much humor. Miss Turner makes a decided impression in her song number. Harris scores a big hit with his trombone solos, in which he plays, with artistic success, sentimental selections as well as popular rags, and the Blues. The team closes strong and "goes big. Miss Marjorie Lorraine wins applause from the start with her graceful dancing and winsome ways. She opens singing the late Aidia Overton Walker's big hit, "Golly, Ain't I Wicked." Her other numbers are "Daddy," "Woola Woola Dance" and she closes with "The Parisian Dance." In this last number the little actress does some very artistic dancing of French interpretation and is generously applauded. She is appearing at her best this week. Buster and Baily close the bill. This team presents a string of oddities that keeps the audience in a fit of laughter from start to finish. They form one of the best dancing combinations that has ever appeared here and are winners. Buster, as "The Head Scrubber," and Baily, as "The Official Soup Smeller," in a hotel, get a riot of fun out of their dialogue that almost throws the audience into a spasm. They are talented fun makers of rare ability. The list of persons who have been fortunate enough to draw the "big pay" envelopes at the Booker Washington Theatre on Mondays and Thursdays is growing lengthy. Everyone who attends on these nights receives a pay envelope containing either Eagle Trading Stamps in lots from 40 cents to $40; cash from one cent to $5, or a ticket of admission. Everybody gets something in their envelope. This is a profit sharing plan that has made good at Mr. Turpin's popular theatre. All who receive stamps in large numbers or $5 bills are requested to give their names and address into the box office or to one of the ushers. Stamp books can be had by applying at the office for publicity. The following list includes about one-fourth of the more fortunate patrons. No record has been kept of the several hundred who have received dollars, halves, quarters, etc. Five dollar bills: Mary Bibb, 937 W. Cabanne Court; Mrs. M. C.

ATHLETICS AND AMUSEMENTS By H. T. M. BASEBALL LELAND GIANTS OF CHICAGO TO PLAY HERE JULY 4, 5, 6 The Leland Giants, of Chicago, will open a three-game series with the St. Louis Giants at Kuebler's Park, Sunday, July 4. The Sunday game will start at 2:30, as Manager Mills has provided an extra attraction for his patrons. At 4 o'clock the First Regiment Missouri U, R. K. of P. will have dress parade and inspection. This will probably draw the banner crowd of the season at Mr. Kuebler's new park. Monday's game will start at the usual hour, and as this is a holiday, a capacity crowd should be out. The third game will be played Tuesday. The series will be an important one and will be hard fought. Rain prevented the Kansas City, Kan., and Giants games until Tuesday. A double header was played, the St. Louis team winning both games by top heavy scores, 22 to 0 and 9 to 4. The Giants made 16 runs in the 8th inning of the first game. The Giants are on top in the City League, having won both games of the schedule so far. Kid Carey, the Giants' promising third baseman, is recovering from a sprained ankle. James Marshall, vaudeville performer, who was seen here with his talented wife, Ora Criswell, claims he was offered several thousand dollars, as a bribe, to change his testimony in the Becker case, of which he is the main witness for the state.

If affairs of the heart or emotions of love interest you, he gives the exact and truthful revelations of all love affairs, settles lovers' quarrels, enables you to win the esteem and affection of anyone you love, helps you happy marriages; tells if the one you love is true; also date of marriage; restores lost affection, peace and confidence to lovers and discordant families, gives you the full secret how to control, fascinate and charm the one you love; also those you meet, and how to make a person at a distance think of you. Lady Attendant. Weak Mediums Developed. NOTE.—Those calling for marriage, curious and frivolous persons are only wasting time calling on Prof. Glidstone. 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. The separated are brought to- 6128 EASTON AVENUE JUST 28 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY Office hours: Daily, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays to 7 p.m. Low Fee Min. M. GRANNEMANN, Prep.

He is surely a man, a 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 your disappointment by at once gliding 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 GEO. FRANKLIN, Mgr.
