CRYSTAL CITY CRYSTAL CITY Biggest Five and Ten Cent Amusement Place in the West Nothing but unfavorable weather seems to interfere with the success at Crystal City. Great throngs of people are nightly in attendance. New attractions are being added each week. Those who are acquainted with the large amusement places, say Crystal City compares favorably with the best. Many visitors from far and near have attended during the week and expressed themselves as being well pleased. All arrangements are being made for the balloon ascension and as soon as a sufficient amount of gas can be had to inflate it, the ascension will be made. Mrs. C. L. Shivers has promised to make the flight with Capt. Berry. More Attractions Coming The Midgets, who have furnished fun and special features at Forest Park Highlands, will be seen at Crystal City. Watch for the date. When seen by an Argus reporter, Dr. B. G. Shaw stated that he was well pleased with the affair so far, and that it was the intention of the management to give the people the best 5 and 10 cent show in the West, regardless of cost. THE COMMERCIAL AUTO LIVERY Reasons Why This Company Deserves Your Patronage The Commercial Auto Livery Company, at 2735 Lawton (rear), deserves the patronage of Argus readers, first, because they conduct the only shop, run by Colored, in the city, prepared to give expert service. They are reliable, ready for orders at any time, attentive to business, guarantee best service, strictly on the square and prompt. They always consider the interest of their patrons, know how to make and keep customers and have a shop that is centrally located. Telephone them, Bomont 251, day or night.

Mason, rector of the church, will announce Sunday the future date. AN INVITATION The City Federation cordially invites the citizens to meet Mrs. Mary B. Talbert and daughter and Madame C. J. Walker, Friday, July 16, at 8:00 p. m., sharp, at St. Paul's. Admission, 25 cents.

Grant, manager, will take place Monday evening, July 12, on the Steamer Grey Eagle.

This new dance is the biggest hit since the introduction of the "Tango." NOTED EDUCATOR AND ALL THOR VISITS HERE Dr. W. S. Scarborough, President of Wilberforce University, Xenia O., the largest Negro institution for higher education in the world, delivered the principal address at the 75th anniversary celebration of African Methodism west of the Mississippi, at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, Sunday, July 4. Dr. Scarborough is a graduate of Oberlin and has been the instructor in Greek and Latin at the institution for many years up to 1907, when he was elected president, succeeding Bishop J. H. Jones. He is the author of Greek and Latin text-books used for a time in Yale and Harvard. Original Ostende Boat Excursion Monday, July 19 Original Ostende Boat Excursion Monday, July 19 The Original Ostende Club will make its 1915 appearance on Monday, July 19 on the Steamer Grey Eagle. There will be a new pastime for those who shall have the good fortune to attend. The patron will be kept as a surprise for the patrong of the occasion as nothing of the kind has ever been performed in the history of St. Louis. So, how can you afford to miss this grand occasion without regretting it. This surprise will be what? THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN The appointment of Attorney Hill to the position of Assistant City Counselor, by Hon. Chas. H. Daues, the present City Counselor comes as no great surprise so far as the Negro is concerned. Because in the first place Mayor Kiel promised his support in the appointment of a Negro to the office, and Mr. Daues said he would appoint a Negro assistant, and he has kept his promise. Mr. Hill's appointment meets the general approval of the people. Since coming to this city several years ago, Mr. Hill has built a lucrative practice in his profession as a lawyer, and enjoys the confidence and respect of the best people in the city. As assistant city counselor, Mr. Hill will be in a position to speak for the Negro in the application of the laws of the city. He is a man of ability and is thoroughly prepared to fill the office with credit, not only to himself, but to the race. The office carries a salary of two thousand dollars a year, which is the highest salaried position that any Negro ever held in connection with the city government. ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1915. PORO COLLEGE HOLDS OPEN HOUSE JULY 5 Entertains Citizens and Tri-Quarto Centennial Visitors. Proprietors to Make Eastern Tour. Surprise Testimonial Planned. During the past week, citizens generally have been attracted by the brilliant electric Welcome sign over the entrance to the Poro College, which truly bespeaks the genuine hospitality of the proprietors, Prof. and Mrs. A. E. Malone. For a number of years this splendid business establishment, which was begun by Mrs. A. M. Pope-Turnbo, on 22nd and Market Streets, has stood for the public good. It has not only served the public in a wholesome social way, but a large number of girls and others have been given employment, and the personal appearance of Negro women of this and other communities has been greatly improved by its scientific and cultural treatment of the growth of the hair. Poro College has dignified the hair dressing business, and influenced the establishment of all the noted hair dressing parlors for Negroes throughout the country. Most of the leading proprietors received their first experience and training under Mrs. Pope-Turnbo and her sister. Any number of young women owe their introduction into the business world to the training received at Poro College. The Poro system is favorably known in every section of the United States and the benefits and hospitality of the Poro College are as widely known. Hardly a week passes but that some social function, often brilliant, is held by Prof. and Mrs. Malone at the College for the entertainment of citizens and out-of-town guests. The many social occasions of the past week in honor of Miss V. S. Love, of Montgomery, Alabama, closed with a grand open house welcome to citizens and friends, including the Triguarto Centennial A. M. E. Church visitors, Monday, July 5. On the departure of their guests, Prof. and Mrs. Malone' will leave the city Thursday for an Eastern tour. A committee of 100 ladies, representing the institutions in the city, will plan to tender these big-hearted, intelligent, cultured and affable proprietors of the Poro College a surprise testimonial on their return home. All citizens will be invited to participate, out of real appreciation for these splendid townsmen. This committee of ladies, with whom the public will be asked to co-operate for the success of this undertaking, will be published a little later. The amusements at "Poro" College, Friday and Monday evenings, for the visitors and students and all those, who chanced to stop in, were the exhibition of the stereopticon views of the life of Lincoln and moving pictures of a humorous nature. Four years previous to the marriage of Mr. Malone, he traveled extensively with biblical works, illustrating same with impressive views from the Bible, hence with this experience it is with interest he aids in adding to the pleasure of "Poro" College entertaining. Soon will be completed the moving pictures of the exterior and interior of "Poro" College. Y. W. C. A. NOTES On account of inclement weather our Sunday Vesper Service was held in Antioch Church instead of on the beautiful lot outside. A wonderful message was given by Dr. J. Layton Mauze, of the Central Presbyterian Church. Our service on Sunday will be held outside if weather permits. Dr. Edmund Kulp, of Maple Avenue M. E. Church, will bring the message. Special music under the direction of Mrs. Giles. Friends will be glad to know that we expect to begin work on our new quarters in a few days. Please send in your subscription and help us start in full. Our vacation work for girls is progressing well. Our Girls' Work Committee has agreed to help the members and friends at South Galilee Baptist Church, by repeating "Proserpina" on Monday evening, July 12. It would do you good to visit our Adams Street Mothers' Club, which meets every Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The spiritual uplift is wonderful. Splendid work is being done by this club. A. MRS.

These words come in the story of the healing of the man born blind, and to whom sight was given by Jesus Christ. The implication in the words "now seeth" amounts to a direct affirmation that the man saw. It was a fact. The other words of the text are a distinct denial of knowing how the fact was produced. Running through the chapter it is quite remarkable to see to whom sight was given by Jesus Christ. The implication in the words "now seeth" amounts to a direct affirmation that the man saw. It was a fact. The other words of the text are a distinct denial of knowing how the fact was produced. Running through the chapter it is quite remarkable to see to what degree this inquiring as to "now" obsessed various classes. At least five times was the question asked in one form or another. The Troublesome "How." That little word "how" has been a great trouble. It is often asked with reference to the actions of God. The Christian church, backed by the Word of God, teaches that God is all-powerful and all-loving. Now comes someone and asks, "How can you reconcile that teaching with the fact of so much suffering on this earth, and that on the part of people who suffer for no fault of their own?" "How can you reconcile that with the doctrine of eternal punishment of the wicked?" "How can you reconcile that with the cruel death in the Cross of Calvary?" "How can the blood of Jesus Christ have any connection with the forgiveness of a man's sins?" "How can simple trust in Jesus Christ result in salvation?" Are such questions justified? Be Sure of the Fact. In the Scripture case the man had been born blind and everybody knew it. He met Jesus one day and in a very brief period of time was made to see, a fact to which there was no contradiction. Now this is a most important matter in the application of the text to moral or spiritual transformations. The genuineness of these are usually supported by some radical change in a person, and also by the permanence of the change. The permanent change being established, no one questions the fact. If it is an individual that is interested in this matter, he may simply ask himself the question, "Are things different from what they were?" He can usually answer that question with the greatest positiveness. He knows what he now loves, and what his life is as compared with what it was, and he has hopes for the future that give him a satisfaction that he never knew before. In short we can say, "He knows that he is saved, and it is a fact." Job knew that his Redeemer lived. Paul was fully persuaded that the good work had begun in him. John knew that he and other Christians had passed from death unto life. As to the outward steps that may have to be taken, they may be known, as in the case of the man born blind. In most cases of genuine conversion the outward steps can be seen, but so much has been made of these that souls have been made to believe that unless they could see the steps in their own conversion they had no claim to be called children of God. The books that have recently appeared, such as "Twice-Born Men," by Harold Begbie, relating moral and spiritual transformations, have left the impression on many that they must pass through similar experiences. In short they must know "how." In genuine spiritual transformation the work is that of the Holy Spirit, who works when and where and how he pleases. It must be kept in mind that the Holy Spirit is God, and God has always reserved to himself the right to keep his purposes secret, and as well his methods of operation, and it is more than foolish to try to enter where angels fear to tread. Why Not Ask "How?" Summing up these thoughts, we may observe that the asking of the question "how" is frequently a mere quibble, the avoiding of the main proposition. It is oftentimes not sincere, the purpose being other than getting an answer for proper ends. In the case before us the question was asked to involve Jesus in some technical breach of the Jewish Sabbath day. There is great impertinence in asking the question, for it may belong to the secret things of God. The physician does not ordinarily feel under any obligation to tell the patient how the medicine works. Sometimes the answer of the question would be the disturbing of the comfort of the inquirer, and it is merciful in God to keep the process a secret. The asking of the question and awaiting an answer are not only a waste of time, but may be the taking of some of God's time for service, for every moment of the after life belongs to him. No toil can shame thee—idleness is shame.—Heriot. (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Bunday School Course, The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) SOLOMON ANOINTED KING. LESSON TEXT-I Kings 1:28-40. GOLDEN TEXT-Know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and a willing mind. I Chron. 29:9. "The king is dead; long live the king." Old and decrepit at seventy years of age, a successor must soon take the shepherd king's seat of power. David's record is a wonderful one as an empire builder, an organizer and an accumulator of wealth. Read carefully I Chron. 29:28. Three characters are the most outstanding for our consideration in this lesson. 1. David. (a) He had to make a selection (vv. 20, 27) but God used David to make his own choice of Solomon. Jedidiah, "the beloved of Jehovah." (2 Sam. 12:25), was he whom Jehovah desired to sit upon the throne. (b) David had a promise he must needs fulfil (vv. 17, 80). While his second son, who sought to usurp his throne, is engaged with his fellow conspirators (vv. 9, 41) in feasting and rejoicing in their supposedly easy victory over the aged father, David rallies and gives direction for the public proclamation of Solomon as king, thereby redeeming his promise. Many professed Christians treat their promises far too lightly. Bath-sheba emboldened by her need (v. 16) enters the king's chamber where now another ministers in her stead, and lays the facts of Adonijah's rebellion before David, concluding her petition with the dramatic words of verse twenty. Bath-sheba's petition is re-enforced by the words of David's mentor, Nathan (vv. 22, 27). Turning again to Bath-sheba David emphatically reiterates his determination to carry out to the full命令s commandments relative to his successor. Even in the hour of his departure David remembers that it is Jehovah "that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress" (v. 29). (c) David then gives careful command relative to the public proclamation of the new king (vv. 32, 35). Calling to his help his trusted and tried friends, Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet (see 2 Sam. 12:24, 25) and Benailah the soldier (1 Chron. 11:22,25), he directs them to place Solomon upon his own mule (v. 33) and take him to Ghion there to be anointed and proclaimed king in David's stead. Contrast David's scrupulous obedience regarding the use of horses (Deut. 17:16) with that of Absalom (2 Sam. 15:1) and Adonijah (v. 5). Note also it was the priest and the prophet alone who were to anoint the king (v. 34). In this we see a parable of the establishment of the everlasting kingdom of righteousness by the Prince of Peace and not by means, or use, of the sword. This anointing was a symbol of dedication to God (Lev. 8:19-12) and the oil of our anointing by the Holy Spirit which is all essential and sufficient for the subjects of his kingdom (Luke 24:49, Acts 1:5-8). But as these were only outward form and symbol, they must petition Jehovah to keep the new king (v. 34). (d) David took no chances but steps aside fully, while he yet lived, that all question of Solomon's right should be removed (v. 35). II. Solomon. (a) God-chosen. (I Chron. 28:5; 29:1). Solomon was the first son of David and Bath-sheba after their legal marriage. His name means "Peaceful" (see I Chron. 22:9) and may suggest the fact that David had found the peace of forgiveness. Solomon inherited the strength of David's maturity and chastening also, and through his mother, the wisdom of Ahthophel, whose advice "was as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God" (2 Sam. 16:23). (b) He was chosen because of intercession (ch. 1:17). The standing of the Christian is what it is in the sight of God because of one who intercedes on our behalf (John 17). (c) He was chosen in the midst of controversy and as against antagonists (v. 5). So the Christian, chosen before the foundation of the world in Christ, also has great opposition and a dangerous antagonist and, like Solomon, he is secure in spite of the assaults of the evil one (I Cor. 10:13; Jude 24). (d) Solomon was chosen for a definite work (I Chron. 28:10). The sad spectacle presented today is to see so many professed Christians who seem to have no sense of responsibility much less an appreciation of their privileges in Christ Jesus. (e) Solomon was promised help (I Chron. 18:9) so are we and according to each May's duty "so shall thy strength be." "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheth me" (Phil. 4:13). III. Adoniljah. (a) He was a self-selected king (v. 5) and as such lacked not only the approval of God but the ability to execute his designs. He had Joab the bloody soldier and Abiathar the jealous priest as his conspirators, yet all combined could not set aside the decree of God. (b) He was a spoiled child. "His father had not displeased him at any time" (all his life, v. 6). True he was David's oldest living son, yet he was not in the line of God's selection. Throughout the history of Israel the elder is constitutively set aside for the younger. He was lacking in many essentials. Packing, Shipping and Storage.

CHARLOTTE'S WORLD FIRE NET The Pinckneys— PERHAPS South Carolina's best gift to this Free Republic was the splendid services of her two great sons—Charles Cotesworth Pinckney and Charles Pinckney. It can truthfully be said of the Pinckneys that their love of honor was greater than their love of power, and deeper than their love of self. One played an important part in the "Louisiana Purchase"—the other, while an envoy to France, was told that the use of money would avert war, and to this replied: "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute." Both devoted their eminent abilities toward framing our National Law. The Constitution of the United States, as it stands to-day, was built upon the framework of a plan first proposed by Charles Pinckney. It was he who demanded that it contain freedom of religion, freedom of the press, habeas corpus and trial by jury. In political faith only did these two great men differ. Charles Pinckney was an ardent Democrat, and Charles C. Pinckney a loyal Federalist, and was twice a candidate for President. It is ANHEUSER-BUSCH Visitors to St. Louis are cour- tually invited to inspect our plant— covers 142 acres. The Beer for Hotel, Club ADDRESSES WANTED Of Hugh M. Howland, formerly of 3019 Lawton; H.

NO. 8 easy to imagine the horror that these two great lovers of Personal Liberty would have expressed if shown the proposed Prohibition Laws of to-day. It is needless to say that if alive they would VOTE NO to such tyrannous encroachments upon the NATURAL RIGHTS OF MAN. The Pinckneys both believed in the moderate use of light wines and barley brews. They also believed in legislation which encouraged the Brewing Industry, because they knew that honest Barley Beer makes for true temperance. For 58 years Anheuser-Busch have been brewers of honest Barley-Malt and Saazer Hop beers—the kind the Pinckneys knew to be good for mankind. To-day their great brand—BUDWEISER—because of its quality, purity, mildness and exquisite flavor, exceeds the sale of any other beer by millions of bottles; 7500 people are daily required to keep pace with the public demand for BUDWEISER.

City Agents:—Located in various parts of St: Louis and suburbs, and who are doing so much to spread the great work of “PORO” System, at their home and by appointment. 2. Matrons and Shipping Force:—Women, who have the oversight. of the building and grounds and men who handle enormous shipments of in-bound andout-bound stock. 3. The Office Force:—Girls who handle the correspondence of more than three thoysand representa- tives. 4. The Instructors and Mail Force!—The young ladies in the Instructing and Operating Departments’ are so thorough in the scientific and sanitary training of scalp and hair treatment that by their assistance per- sons entering the College reccive instructions in detail. Those who take care of the mailing are familiar with ‘maps of the Parcel Post Guide directing the mail to all parts of this and foreign countries, . » This Institution has done, and is doing, a great work in this city and throughout the country. Look- ing back fifteen years, the date it was founded, there was not a school of its kind in existence; it is the center from which have sprung thousands of branches; it is the source from which so many hundreds of girls and women have forged their way to the heights so proudly attained; its principles, its system and its training are the cardinal points which have lent so much in making this school famous. The “PORO" System is one which appeals to each individual, for every man and woman, boy and girl, is interested in the sanitary condition of his or her scalp and hair, and the most effective way by which this can be done is the scientific manner as is found alone in this system. In Mrs, A. M. Pope-Turnbo-Malone, the founder, we have a genius; one-who ‘can build a business of. such magnitude must do so at a sacrifice. She bas given to her women the only systematic -method of scalp and hair treatment, protecting them by a system of contracts and Diplomas, and¢giving to the numberless Patrons the results they have spent so much time and money in search of. - She is accomplishing her one chicf aim:—to push her girls and women higher. In her unassuming manner, she is easily the One woman in her profession.

HOWARD W. POPE Seourtnada Mes, Mend Bo teas sf Cea oe Snen aon People sometimes refuse Christ be cause of the sacrifice involveatt 1: costs. t0O much, and they are not willing to pay the Brice. Yes, It does cost something to be a Christian, but ft costs :tar more not to be a Christian, Let us see what ft costs to live and die without Christ, 1. Not tobe a Christian costs the sacrifice’ of peace. “Great peace have’ they which love’ thr "which love” th law.” “Thou wilt keep him in perfec Peace whose mind {s stayed on thee. This 1s the portion of the Christia: He has peace with God, and the peac of God, and the God of peace besides ‘The Christiess soul knows nothing o this, for “there ts no peace, saith. m; God, to the wicked.” He knows tha he 1s disobeying God, and he ts all thi time fearful. “Who through fear o death were all their lifetime subject t Dondage.” Besides, he is conscious of an un seen force which 1s continually work ing against him. “The way of th transgressor {s hard,” we are told ‘Yes, God makes it hard, in order the: the sinner may weary of it, and turz “his feet into the path of righteous ness. “Behold I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will make a wall against thee.” As surely as all things work to- gether for good to them that love God, so surely does God work against the sinner. The same love which prompts ‘him to send blessings to the righteotss, leads him to send hindrances and warnings to the sinner. The sinner calls it bad luck, but he suspects that {t 1s something more, even the delib- erate purpose of God. 2. Not to be a Christian costs the sacrifice of the highest joy. I do not say that the Christless man will have no joy. tHe may know the joy of health, and friendship, and domestic life; he may acquire money, and pow er, and fame, But there are nobler Joys than those which he loses. He cannot know. the joy of sin forgiven, or the comfort and companionship of the Holy Spirit, or the joy of becom ing like Jesus Christ, It 1s God's purpose that all his chil dren shalt be joyful—tull of joy. “These things have I spoken unto you that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full." How different the feeling of the Christless soul! A visitor who was calling on the great Bismarck expressed the hope that he might live many days, and this was Bismarck’s reply: “There is only one happy day left for me. It is the one on which I shall not wake up again.” 3. Not to be a Christian costs the sacrifice of the highest success in tife, Everyone wishes to make the most of himself, but this ia impossible unless he yields his life to Christ. God has w plan for every life, and this plan alone assures the highest success. Does not God know what is for the creature's good better than the crea- ture himself? It is folly to think that one can live in God’s world and achleve success, and yet disobey the laws of God. Remember that money and popular. ity and pdwer do ‘not constitute suc- cess. One may have all these and ye be a consummate failure. The true object of life is to know God's will and do it, and the -Christless soul misses that completely. 4. Not to be a Christian costs the loss of heaven. The penalty of hav- ing one’s own way here, is to be con signed hereafter to a place where ev- eryone has his own way, which is hell. That is what makes it hell. Heaven ts a place where no one has his own way, but all delight to do God’s will That is what makes {t heaven. The} Christless soul has no hope of heaven, and even if he had, he could not en- joy it. Heaven would be hell to one who-is.not heavenly minded, to one who does Hot love Jesus, and who does love sin. e The Christless souk wast prepare to part forever trom all\ his dear ones who have chosen Christ; his mother who taught him to pray, his faithful wite, his children whose little hands bave long been beckoning, to woo him home to heaven. When Dwight L. Moody died he looked up and said, “Is this death? If so, it is glorious. Earth ig receding, heaven is opening. God is calling me." Instead of this wel come, the Christless soul will hear the sad words, “Depart from me.” ‘Yes, it does cost something to be a Christian. It may-cost you the sacri- fice of some pleasure, some compan- fons, some money, but not to be = Christian will cost you the loss of pesce, Joy, and real success. It will cost you the loss of your soul. It will cost you heaven. 4 ~ What-shall-t-prott-s-man if ne gain the world:world and lose his own foul?” + r me ae ee ee “We, a part of a great body of Americans, desiring to enjoy the Liberty that is granted to every law-abiding individual, do ap- peal to every American to whom this circular may come, trusting that he will take a manly stand on the side of Justice, and use his influence and Voice against every measure that is brought forward, or may come up at any future time, that shall cause the smallest part of liberty to be taken from any of the American Citizens. That our peace is being disturbed and our liberty threatened is ap- parent by the unlawful measures that are being agitated by a part of our fellow-citizens, by which they hope to have us restricted in cur rights as American Citizens to buy and enjoy real estate in this City wherever it is offered for sale. That this is an unlawful and unjust discrimination is admitted by every American who has the slightest knowledge of right and wrong, and is not blinded by a foolish prejudice. “Then is it-not a crime to legislate for or against any individual or body of individuals simply because of the color of the skin or texture of the hair? Colored men are Citizens by having measured up to every just requirement laid down by the Constitution, or re- quired by laws of Nation, State or City, “Colored men are not cowards, as can be proven by the rec- ords of the War and Navy Departments of our National Govern- ment, from 1776 to this day. “And should our President at any time call for men to defend our Nation’s honor, black men will respond to his call as they did to Lincoln and McKinley, “Then why take away from Black men the right to buy and enjoy that Home that he is able to pay for and his white fellow- citizen is willing to sell to him or anyone else? “One individual becomes superior to another only when he has a higher sense of right and justice, and the moral courage to put those virtues into practice. “We therefare appeal to every man and woman who may read this that he rise above these petty things of life and work hard in hand with his fellow-man to make this, our country, the land of the “brave and free,’ not free for a ‘group’ of citizens, bat free for all. While the world is at war, let us continue to show that this is, in truth, the land of Peace, Liberty and Justice, ever keeping in mind that if any man or woman lend his influence, either active or passive, in aid of any measure that will deprive any American cit- izen of his liberty and rights, he makes himself unworthy of the great mame he bears and becomes ‘Un-American.’ The following Axioms are admitted by all men, and practiced by every right- thinking man “1. Social equality is a free gift from one individual to an- other; legislation cannot give it or take it away, hence let us not fear that “2. Real estate is not depreciated by the buyer, but by the seller's need of money. 7 “3. Real estate increases in value as a demand is made for it. “4. The many homes that are for sale in St. Louis, in districts that are exclusively ‘white.’ shows that there is a decrease in value somewhere, and as no colored man is or has been a resident in such districts, the depreciation is caused by some things other than the presence of a Negro in the block. No demand, no value. “5. Finally, as there is no moral, social, civic or intellectual need of segregation, any individual who works fo\étt by word, or deed, becomes ‘Un-American.’ We ar@Yours for Peace, Liberty and Justice, “THE COLORED MEN'S IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE OF if SOUTH ST.

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.

BASEBALL The Mount Olives, a strong Illinois team, will play the Giants at Kuebler's Park, Sunday. The team is said to be one of the best semi-professional clubs in the country. Jasper, formerly of the White Socks, will be on the mound for the visitors. The success of the Giants has been the cause of much anxiety among white baseball promoters. They want Charlie Mills' champions beaten and the Mount Olives are expected to turn the trick. It is the candid opinion of close observers of the game that the Giants are really the champions of Negro baseball. The three games played with the Leland Giants of Chicago were unexpectedly one sided, the Giants winning 17 to 2, 12 to 4, and 17 to 3. The biggest crowd of the season saw Monday's game. We believe Mr. Mills has the best team in St. Louis, regardless of the big leagues, and hope that before the snow flies his aggregation of stars will get a chance to prove it. The Giants' hospital is growing larger every day. "Spec" Webster is laid up with a badly lacerated hand. Bennett is suffering from a wrenched side and sprained ankle. Kid Carey has further weakened an already injured ankle and is laid up. In spite of this handicap, the team is ready to give battle to the best the country produces. Manager Charlie Mills is Col. Mills, on Gen. Butler's staff of the Knights of Pythias, and Assistant Commissary General. He will have charge of the commissary car when the Pythians go to Columbus, O., and those who make the trip can be assured of the best service the market affords. The Giants will also make the trip and will meet the best teams the East can offer. The Pythians will travel on a special train over the B. & 'O., Southwestern, leaving here at 11 p. m., Aug. 14. WALTON BLUES This is one of the fastest amateur teams now playing in the city. Having lost only one game out of eight Sunday, July 4, they defeated the Missouri Blues, score of 11 to 1, and on July 5, easily defeated the Clayton Blues, 17 to 2. The latest dope has it that next season will find Butler May, "String Beans," starring a road production; John Larkins at the head of "A Trip to Africa;" Will Vodery in a revival of "The Oyster Man" and Whitney and Tutt, with the Smart Set Company, in a new vehicle, entitled, "George Washington Bullion Abroad." PENDLETON AIRDOME HAV- ING SUCCESS The Pendleton Airdome, at Fairfax and Pendleton, has been having a big success under the management of Henry Smith. Mr. Smith expresses much gratitude to the many hundreds of patrons who are showing appreciation of his efforts to furnish high-grade pictures, and states that the commodious and comfortable new winter theater he plans will compare favorably with any in the city. He is now running a serial picture every Saturday, entitled, "The Master Key." MOVIE THEATER SPECIAL PICTURES Sunday, July 11.—A hair-raising western photoplay and a comedy acted by all Colored people.

Broadway PINE STREET PLAYGROUND SERVING GREAT NEED One of the most interesting sights around St. Louis is the playground for Colored children on Twenty-third and Pine Streets. This playground is about 100 feet square, and is equipped with swings, slides and rings for the healthy development of the children of the neighborhood. Almost any time there can be seen from 75 to 100 boys and girls there, and often there are as many as 125 there at one time. The task of directing the pleasures of this large number of youngsters is left to Elmer A. Burgess, a young man thoroughly trained for this kind of work and one who seems to manifest a genuine interest in it. He is assisted in the morning by Miss Helen E. McWorter, and in the afternoon by Mrs. Nellie L. These lady assistants look after the girls and superintend their games. An Argus reporter, who visited the grounds, was shown over the place by Mr. Burgess, the director. He took pains to explain every feature of the work, stating that as a rule the ground was very largely attended and the work systematized as much as possible. "We make every effort to keep the boys and girls separate as far as it is possible," he said. "This set of swings on the left is for the boys and those on the right for the girls. The boys are beginning to play some real ball. I have a system by which I can keep an accurate record of each boy's batting average as well as his general ability as a player. They have already played two games with Columbus Square, one of which they won, the other they lost. We probably will play a double header Saturday." When one considers the many sidedness of this work the various games to be introduced and kept going in a systematic manner, and also the fact that some playgrounds of the city are provided with twice as many lady assistants as this one, he can readily see that this work is a task worthy of the praises of us all. ALL-FEMALE SHOW AT BOOKER WASHINGTON PLEASING BIG AUDIENCES The all-female show at the Booker Washington Theater this week is not only a novelty, but a combination of good talent with entertaining qualities. Seven ladies comprise the bill and offer a program with plenty of variety, ranging from ragtime and comedy to the classics and drama. Edna Barrett, a dainty little singer with a well developed voice, opens the program. Her three song numbers, "Over the Hills to Mary," "There's a Little Spark of Love Still Burning," and "In the Heart of the City," are all well sung. Her "Bear Story" monologue goes good. She is being generously applauded. The Abyssinian Trio, as usual, is the artistic triumph of the show. These excellent singers are well-known favorites here. Their sweet voices and perfect harmony always thrill their hearers with ecstasy. This week they are singing, "Opera Burlesque," "Annie Laurie," "African Love Song," by Misses Gertrude Jones and Olva Ellison, and repeating, by request, "Moon Song," led by Miss I. O Brown, climaxing in a beautiful scenic effect by the trio. They are making a tremendous hit. Eloise Johnson, vivacious as ever, one of the most artistic little actresses on the stage, is having her usual success, pleasing the patrons. Miss Johnson is singing, "The Figeon Walk." "All For the Love of a Girl," My Long Lost Love," and "Fatima Brown." The latter is accompanied by a descriptive dance and is a decided hit. The Griffin Sisters close the show. They open with a dialogue, followed with a few eccentrics by Miss Emmaa. The "Italian Waltz" by Miss Mabel and "Hesitating Blues" by Emma are both big numbers. The pair then present "Amazon Land" and close with an Indian song with dance. They show a wealth of elaborate costumes, have good voices, and score a hit with every action. The Griffin sisters are intelligent and talented theatrical people, with recognized business qualifications. They have traveled all over the country studying the Colored vaudeville conditions. They are accomplishing much in the interest of Colored performers and have plans that will mature soon, which may be of much benefit to their footlight friends as well as the general public.

Lady Attendant. Weak. Mediuma. NOTE—Those calling for pastime, curiouse and frivolous persons are only waiting time calling on Prof. Gladstones. ing 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 been a journey of learning. He now owned 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 20 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY Office hours: Daily, 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. and Saturdays to 7 p. m. Low Fee, 50c. H. GRANNEMANN, Prop.

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 laid bare to his mysterious perceptive mind, and while he gives names, dates, and figures a visitor sits dum-founded at a revelation the males to him. 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 past experience has been, your past experience has been, you will save time and avoid '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. Bunday, 10 a. m. to 3 p. m. Wednesdays
