Academy Open, as Usual, on Friday Evenings The New Orpheus Academy Boat Excursion Monday evening, August 9, on the steamer Grey Eagle, will be a farewell affair, as the management has decided to give up this feature. In order to make this final party one long to be remembered. General Manager Jas. W. Grant has planned several novelties to entertain the guests. A whist tournament will be in progress on the upper deck, while dancing will be indulged in on the lower section. Those who make the trip will get an opportunity to dance the "Kanakanna." This is a new round dance, something on the order of the one step, only much finer and better, in that you dance on your toes with your hands elevated as a bird flying. It has been introduced at the New Orpheus Academy, and was a sensation. The Mexicana, another new number, from the Panama Exposition, will also be featured. Plans are to make this the one big outing of the season. Silver Grill Formal Opening Next Thursday The formal oening of Silver. Grill, under the management of Messrs. Rice and Thompson will be held Thursday, August 12. Special cabaret entertainment will be provided for the occasion; souvenirs will be given to all the guests and the managers will give a demonstration of the New Grill's excellent service. The grill has enjoyed a big patronage since its opening last Sunday, at which time several hundred people visited the place. ONLY THREE NEGROES ON EASTLAND.

Phasen, Del. 922; Udell 5498. The St. Louis Argus CHAS. H. TURPIN, CONSTABLE OF FOURTH DISTRICT. Charles H. Turpin, who was declared beaten by six votes for the office of Constable in the Fourth District, at the election last November, was declared elected by twenty-seven votes by Circuit Judge Leo S. Rassieur, in a decision Wednesday. The election judges in making the count, threw out certain ballots they contended were invalid. Each vote gave Turpin, a Republican, 2,741 votes, and Andrew W. Powers, a Democrat, 2,747 votes. Powers has been serving as Constable. As a result of the contest recount Turpin has 2,798 votes and Powers 2,771 votes. Votes which the election judges had thrown out as invalid were counted in the recount. The decision is a victory for clean elections and is gratifying to Mr. Turpin's supporters. He was legally represented by George B. Webster and Homer G. Phillips, who deserve credit for the manner in which the case was handled. Lloyd Re-elected K. of P. Grand Chancellor The thirty-first annual session of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythians, State of Mo., which has just closed, was one of the most harmonious in the history of the order. The reports of the financial officers showed that the order was in a healthy condition. The Grand Chancellor's address was full of optimism as to the future success of this organization. The delegates expressed their confidence, in the management by re-electing the principal officers, which were as follows: A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor; A. C. Macklin, Grand Vice-Chancellor; J. B. Coleman, Grand Prelate; W. T. Ancell, Grand Keeper of Records and Seals; Chas. Baker, Grand Master of Exchequer; B. F. Adams, Grand Lecturer; Dr. W. J. T. Thompkins, Grand Medical Registrar; A. M.

Wayman Chapel Members Give Pastor Surprise We had just closed the service of a good class meeting, Tuesday; the 3rd, and about to retire to read, when music that filled the still hush of the night from the twenty voices, led by Mrs. S. B. Woodfolk, singing, "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" that sound real angelic, arrested our attention. They had secured the key from the janitor and made their way through the church to the parsonage, and on coming in, to our joyful surprise, were Mrs. I. J. Johnson, E. A. Cates, S. B. Woodfolk, M. E. Davis, Mrs. McDowell, E. M. Payne, Mrs. M. White, M. I. Verbal, Mary Lee, Comora Carter, Florence Ross, L. E. Burgess, E. A. Hill, Mrs. Hill's, L. A. Lewis, Frank Carter, F. W. Woodward, Geo. Burgess, J. E. Harris. The group then sang very metathetically, "God Will Take Care of You." Until the unforbidden tear appeared. But that's not all. Then a shower of good things began to fall. Cabbage, beans, corn, tomatoes, meat. lard, flour, sugar, coffee, tea, potatoes and cash to fully the amount of $7 worth, and this made the pastor and family feel like they have friends in abundance in this great metropolis. In short, the Wayman Chapel A. M. E. Church is blessed with some fine people. They have high ideas, great minds and the go forward spirit. Then there is such a grand association and affiliation between the people of this parish, and the good people and friends of the other churches. We extend a hearty welcome to these doves of the morning and angels of charity and ask them to come again. Now, I could not close this article without, giving notice, that on August 23 Mrs. Bettie Earnest, E. M. Payne, Mollie Logan and S. B. Woodfolk, with other assistant committees, intend to bring off one of the Royalist Affairs of the season at the Wayman Court, Corner 23rd and Wash Street. The Japanese Tea Garden and Royal Wedding.

Alabama Kitchen Proprietor Has Unique Progam Alabama Kitchen Proprietor Has Unique Progam William Hussey, proprietor of the Alabama Kitchen at 1039 N. Sarah St., conducted a unique series of entertainments last week. In celebration of the success of his west end cafe, Mr. Hussey designated a special night for popular features and gave away to the patrons plenty of good things to eat and drink, including watermelon, ice cream and barbecued meats. Monday was mothers' and children's day; Tuesday, S. M. T.; Wednesday, automobile owners and drivers; Thursday, Original Ostende Social Club; Friday, general night for societies, and clubs; and Saturday, political. In addition to the good eats the guests were entertained with up-to-date cabaret from 5 p. m until midnight each day. The entire arrangement was a most successful affair, but Mr. Hussey regrets that some of the societies invited failed to send a representative and that on mothers' and children's day the children came, but their mothers were absent. Although 15 gallons of ice cream had been provided for the children, on that day, a great portion was wasted. Mr. Hussey is conducting a sanitary cafe, serving pure and wholesome food, and it will pay west end residents to visit him and watch his advertisements, for this crafty caterer always has something original up his sleeve and may expose something worth considering any time. ICE AND MILK FUND PARTY The young people's society of All Saints' Church will give a house party at the residence of Mrs. B. L. Eaton, 4292 St. Ferdinand, August 18, at 7 p.m. for the benefit of the Ice and Milk Fund for the Babies. Dancing, Ticket, 10 cents. Raymond Gordon, Press; Kathleen B.

The party will leave the first of next week and return in the early fall by way of the great northwest. SHALL CADETS GO TO COLUMBUS? The Juvenile Band, the Cadet boys, are expecting to go to Columbus, O., this year, and justly so because they have gone away before and acquitted themselves well. Col. Hughes, in charge, says, that unless they receive some assistance they cannot go this year. "It will take a deal of money to take the band to Columbus, and I am not able to put up for the boys as I have been. They are our boys, and we are proud of them and the record they have made in the past. And we like to hear their music, but no one seems to be willing to help or encourage them in the least." "I am sorry, but I don't think the boys will go to Columbus this year." The above is the statement made by Col. Hughes, when asked whether there was any truth in the rumor that the boys would not go away this year. STEWART-PHILLIPS NUPTIALS Special to the Argus: Nashville, Tenn., August 1.—Miss Lucy Shaw Phillips, daughter of Bishop C. H. Phillips, and Dr. William J.

The prophets of the Old Testament were openair preachers. Jesus Christ and his apos- tles were open-air preachers. _ Some of the greatest evangelists in all the days were open-air preachers. ‘How could Whitefeld and the Wesleys have reached the masses when church doors were closed against them, unless they bad taken to ihe open air? What an open-air’preacher was Gen. William Booth! Today many of the ablest Christian laymen of Great Britain, as well as the clergy, are found standing on improvited plat- forms at the street ‘corners telling out the gospel of salvation, and urging /their'fellow men to accept the offer of atonement through Jesus Christ. 1. This is enjoined upon you, Chris tian brethren, as a duty to God and to your nelghbor. Rénieniber the words, “Go ye into all tbe world and preach ‘the Gospel to every creature;”: “Ye shall be witnesses unto ine.” These commands are not to ecclesiastics merely but’ to all the disciples of ‘Christ? And then what shall we say of the command, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyselft’ Have we ever felt, or shown, that leve until we have actively interested ourselves in the salvation of our neighbor? To feed him when he is hungry, or clothe him when he is naked, or visit him in sick- ness, or comfort him in his aMfiction is not enough, except as we try to save him for eternity. 2. It is enjoined upon you as a per- sonal advantage in the sense of devel- opment and in sense of reward. If we want to grow in the spiritial life we want to ederolan. sareitton io its min- istry. If we wodid know more of the love and’ the power of God towards ourselves, we must experiment with what we now have jn dealing with others.

At the final reckoning of re deemed souls the same rank and glory will not be given to the mdolent and ‘unfruitful as to the earnest and, self- denying.

LESSON TEXT—I Kings 1:¢-16, GOLDEN TEXT—Pride goeth before destruction, and ‘@ haughty spirit before @ fall, Prov, 16:18 Solomon's kingdom though outward- ly magnificent contained within it those germs of oppression, formal re- ligious observances and the lax ex- ample of an indulgent monarch which speedily led to its disruption after his death. Forty years Solomon relgned, but the latter end of his lite was none too peaceful. “He loved many strange women” and “his heart was not per fect with the Lord his God” (11:1, 4). Reron was his “adversary” (11:25) and Jeroboam whon: he at first sought to conciliate (11:26-28) was finally driven from the land (¥. 40). Chapter eleven contains the prophecy of which this lesson is the fulfillment “And Rehoboam, his son, reigned in his stead” (11:43), 1. The Convention at Shechem, vy. 1-5, ‘This place has an important his- tory beginning in the days of Abraham and Jacob. It was a city of the Levites and the place where Joshua gave his final charge (Josh, 24:1, 26). Ablme- lect? destroyed {t though it was soon rebuilt. Here Israel gathered to con- firm Solomon's son upon the throne. Jerusalem and Judea readily accepted Rehoboam as king, but the ten tribes hesitated and, according to one trans lation there was a year’s delay during which time Jeroboam was sent for and certain reforms were formulated (v 2). Their charges were entirely selfish and made no reference to the rights of Jebovah nor offered’ any protest ‘against the increasing idolatry. Be- fore allegiance was swom Jeroboam as spokesman presented these reforms (v. 4) and Rehoboam wisely asked for time to consider the request (¥. 5). Il. Good Counsel Neglected, vv. 612. Rehoboam cama of bad stock (ch. 14:21), yet his first step. was a wise one. His name means “Enlarger of the people,” but he sadly belied the same. Too long had he lived in the atmosphere of luxury and enervation. ‘The northern tribes suffered greatly through taxation and shared none of the prosperity of Jerusalem. Solomon's “yoke,” like that of svery earthly mon- arch, bad been heavy (Matt, 11:29, 30). ‘The counsel of the-old men was good (v. 7), tt was kingly, ‘manly. Jesus tells us that the greatest must be the servant of all and sets us the example himself (Matt. 20:28). Reho- boam next consulted those of his own ctrele who “were grown up with him,” men of like -position and passions, youths as inexperienced as himself who had no sympathy but were wild, conceited, overbearing, selfish. Reho- boam asked “advice” (v. 6) of the old men, but asked for “counsel” (v. 9) of the young men, but in nelther case is theré any suggestion that God’ was consulted (James 1:5). These young men counseled a boasting and burden- some course which brought Rehoboam to grief. Oppression always results in rebellion, a fact that those who gov- ern or employ others should ponder well. Rehoboam’s choice of counselors and his consequent course of. action was the height of foolishness (Prov. 13:20). I, Bad Counsel Confirmed, vv. 12-14. Jeroboam's subsequent career confirms us in believing that he more than’ all others encouraged and fos- tered the divistonof the kingdom. But he and the proud, foolish. princeling were both only carrying out the word and, will of Jehovah (¥. 15; Ps. 76:10). This does not, however, ‘essen his guilt or folly {Acts 2:23). Not content with déclariiig bis acceptance of the evil counsel be spoke “roughly” (v. 13) and this verse suggests.to us that “the old men’s counsel” was known to the people, thereby aggravgting his offense. “Whom God wishes.to destroy he first makes mad.” Rough words ‘wound or madden and, “by using soft ‘words you may fead an elephant by s hair." Not content to refuse Reho- boam threatens added burdens (v. 14). IV. Conclusion, God turned away the kingdom from Solomon's house be- cause Solomon had turned away from God (ch. 11:9-11, 31, 38). A tree prophet foretold what would hsppen, the “cause was from the Lord that he might perform his saying” (v. 15, cf. 14:31, 32). God is constantly and iit erally fulfilling prophecy. Those which have been so fully and so minutely ful filled are a warrant that in due time alt will likewise “come to pass.” Re hoboam is @ lesson to tle young men of today. ‘ Rehoboam is also s lesson for pres- ent day fathers. ae aa eet a oe WHY We? -| Tey Mi s.

For instance, because there have been a few so-called ‘raiiroad magnates’ whose names have figured Dromingntly in finance, many people have come to believe that the railroads of the country are largely owned by = few rien men.

PRESS ASSOCIATION A GREATER ST. LOUIS Much is being-said; and more is being written in the press, about a greater St Louis. An agitation is being started looking towards the annexation of the outlying towns and suburbs to the city, thus giving to St. Louis a population that will insure its re- tention of the fourth place among the. great cities of the land. \nnexation of adjoining territory is one way of increasing a city’s population. New York, Boston, Chicago, and other cities owe their greatness partly to the absorption of contiguous towns. But they owe their greatness more particularly to the fact that they are made attractive places to live in, and made centers of op- portunity. . \ city offering a fair opporsunity ior the utilizing- of one’s ed- ucation, training, skill or natural aptitude need not resort to annexation to increase its population. A ‘city made attractive to live in through absence of unfair discrimination, uncalled for prej- udice and illegal oppression, would grow in number by the natural influx of people, because: the trend of population now is towards the city. By all means, let us have a greater St. Louis, But, first, let the city be made greater in character rather than greater in num- bers., Let it be made greater in opportunity rather than, greater in territory, Let it be greater in civie pride, greater in the American spirit of freedom and equality, then annexation might be“worthy of consideration, es res Why try to bring in people through annexation, when they are being driven out through oppressign ! Nor is there any excuse for their oppression. The Negro con- stitutes nearly a tenth of this city’s population. On the whole, -he is a good and desirable ‘citizen, He is law-abiding, industrious to the extent of his limited opportunities, ambitious in the face of hand- icaps, self-respecting though scorned by his white brothers, and is a conscientious home-builder in spite of perennial threats of segre- gation. If all these drawbacks were removed—and they might be eas- ily removed if the authorities were politically wise, not to say just and Christian—the Negro might soon be made to constitute fif- teen or twenty per cent of the city’s population. But with continued oppression, discrimination and abuse, the percentage may drop to five per cent or less: And a city charac- terized by such narrowness of vision and pettiness of spirit would not even be attractive to the white people. e -\gain we say, Let us have a greater St. Louis—but greater in spirit and character first. Then it will follow, as the night follows the day, that it will become greater in numbers. A broad, liberak fair, brotherly St, Louis can easily retain fourth place. But a narrow, petty, prejudiced St. Louis may drop to sixth place, and might better drop to sixteenth. A MORAL VICTORY ourt has decided that Charles elected to the office of Constal Jes a matter that had in it an ay the least. Py pliment Mr. Turpin upon his tified at our own moral victory Turpin’s candidacy, we would t we did, in the face of the facts then, and shall always conten principles higher than men.- V we were not fighting so much or this office which meant so n “aesar less, but Rome more. , that racial rivalries Wd diffe eral good. Though our plea w: aign was waged among the Ne ieless. deep lesson of it all will be lea next election. The Circuit Court has decided that Charles H. Turpin was fairly and honestly elected to the office of Constable of the Fourth District. This settles a matter that had in it an element of polit- ical nastiness, to say the least. : = While we compliment Mr. Turpin upon his political -victory, we are equally gratified at our own moral victory. Even had we not supported Mr. Turpin’s candidacy, we would still have taken the very stand that we did, in the face of the facts and figures. We contended then, and shall always contend, for an honest ballot. We hold principles higher than men.- We stated during the campaign that we were not fighting so much for Turpin, ‘the man, as we were for this office which meant so much to our race.

They offer a chapter of clean comic dialogue that pleases the audiences. Their touch of dramatic dialogue is especially humorous. Their trio of songs are well received. They close with a song and dance and go good. Gee and Brown present an act of considerable class. They open singing, "Cake Walk Ball," and immediately establish themselves in the favor of the audience. Miss Gee scores a hit with her singing and dancing. Miss Brown, possessing a sweet voice, takes the house by storm with her solo number, "If the World Should End Tomorrow, I'd Be Tonight With You." They close strong with, "My Bird of Paradise," a beautiful duet. They have a wealth of elegant costumes and are making a big hit. Frank Foster, the dialect comedian, is a decided diversion in black face. His monologue jokes are up-to-date and humorous. His character impersonation of a disappointed female is good. He closes with a travesty on "Yankee Doodle." Green and Delaney in a song and dance act, are up to the average. They sing well and put over a neat bit of acrobatic dancing. All of their numbers are well received and are rewarded with generous applause. Mr. Turpin has installed in his theatre the largest theatre exhaust fan in the city. It has a diameter of four feet and expels 32,000 cubic feet of air every minute. It completely changes the air in the house twice each minute, giving a constant supply of fresh pure air, insuring a germ proof atmosphere. The B. W. has been as cool as a cucumber and fresh as the morning air on the hottest nights since its installation. N. E. COR.

Lady Attendant. Weak Mediums. NOTE.—Those calling for pastime, curious 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 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—where the work of the mind separates the human body from the fitting soul—and that which is to be is told.

He is surely a man of the passing time. GLADSTONE is not a 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, rich inheritance together with the combined knowledge and priceless experience of generations. No matter what your present treasure may be or what your past experience has been, you will save time and avoid disappointment by at once consulting Gladstone. Now, if you cannot no letters, if you cannot call in person, do not write, as his time is fully occupied with his personal calls. TAKE WELLSTON HODIAMONT OR HAMILTON CARS
