ST.LOUIS PALLADIUM. Vol. XIX. No. 26. The President's Address dent's Address at Lincoln's M The President's Address at Lincoln's Monument. The exercises at the Lincoln monument, preceding those at the armory, were brief. The President gazed for a few moments in silence on the sarcophage and then, followed by his party, walked around to the south side of the monument. There he addressed the 5000 people who had assembled, as follows: "It is a very great pleasure for me to see you to-day; you, the veterans in a double sense; you who represent the army, the Union and army and all else to which Americans should, without regard to any minor differences, be on in their allegiance. Let me say on word—it seems to me eminently fitting that the guard around the tomb of Lincoln should be composed of colored soldiers. It was my good fortune a Santiago to serve beside colored troops. A man who is good enough to shed his blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal afterward. More than that no man is entitled to, and less than that no man shall have." C.F. HOLLAND 1864 J MARKE Dr. Arthur's Humanity. Dr. Arthur, who formerly lived in St. Louis, is doing much good in Brooklyn, Ill., for suffering humanity.

CITY NEWS Notes and News Concerning Our People--Weekly Record of Social Events, Deaths, Marriages and Births--Written Especially for St. Louis Palladium. We call special attention to the dreadful condition of the people of East St. Louis, Ill. Never in our lives have we seen such an aspect as men, women and children fleeing from their homes almost penniless. Now is the time for the great heart of Charity to be thrown around these people, regardless of race or color. We have consulted several ministers and business men about this affair. Dr. D. P. Roberts, Dr. E. C. Cole, Rev. Cox, Dr. J. E. W. Jones, Rev. Snyder, Gilliam and several others who express their intention to render any assentance that was at their command. Remember the Odd-Fellows at Ofenstein's Grove, Sunday, June 23. We are under many obligations to Chief Desmond and Chief Keily for stopping the baseball on Lawton avenue.

The St. Paul's Chapel had an overflowing congregation at the 11 o'clock services last Sunday morning. An interesting and beneficial sermon on "the duties of members to the church," was delivered by the pastor, Dr. Roberts. The choir seemed at its best, the singing being unusually good. The Afro-American Enterprise League will give their first family railroad excursion of the season to Peoria, Ill., on Saturday night, June 20. This excursion should be attended by all who desire ta encourage the efforts of the League, to oater to our better class of people for support. We will all go to the Odd-Fellows outing at Ofenstein's Grove, Monday, June 22. Miss Agnes Nash is quite ill with the whooping cough. Miss Alma Thompson, one of our public school teachers, will be married in June—and that very soon. H. W. Sexton and R. M. Mitchell. These two gentlemen are graduates from an art and drawing school—Mr. Sexton from Cleveland, O., in 1895; Mr. Mitchell from the art and drawing school in 1892 and S. A. Calumas art school in 1892. These two gentlemen have a study at 2605 Lawton avenue, and the collection of their drawing has excited the most sceptical mind which proves their wonderful genius. It would be well for any person to call at their studio that they may be convinced that they are truly two great artists, and their work will commend them to the lovers of oil paintings and art in every particular. Of course, most persons have their doubts as to the genuine work by them, but if you will visit their studio you can see them with brush in hand at work on some of the most difficult picture, you will then be convinced of their profession. They invite you to call and see for yourself at 2605 Lawton avenue. The greatest and grandest of them all—day and night barbecue and picnic given by the greatest Amateur Negro Team in the city—the J.

Dr. Leon Harrison, the eloquent Jewish Rabbi, will deliver the address. Good music. The public is invited to attend. Intended for a Joke. The article in last week's issue of the St.. Louis Palladi m concerning Mr. James B. Huston was intended as a joke by one of his personal friends. The joker's conception of a joke was too baod, and many of Mr. Huston's friends were mislead as to the intent of the article. Satisfactory explanation has been made to Mr. Huston, and we hope that nothing of a similar nature will occur again. Remarkable Character. Mr. Robert Johnson, of 209 South Fifteenth street, was born in 1815; therefore, was a lave forty-five years; he passed through the civil war in the commissary department, rnd since that time, through friends, he has secured several good positions; in 1881 he was employed by the late Hon. John W. Turner, Street Commissioner under Mayor William L. Ewing, then under Hon. D. R. Francis, who was Mayor of St. Louis. For the past ten years he has been a patient sufferer; not being able to do any hard work, yet he was always willing to do something for a living. He is now a newsdealer, selling papers; by that means he makes a fair living. He seels the St. Louis Palladium, and if you wish to help him, you can do so. Remember he cannot get out, but you can get the St. Louis Palladium by calling at his house--209 South Fifteenth street. Dedication of Old Folks' Home. The Old Folks' Home, on Eugene screet, in the county near the Jefferson Barracks, was dedicated last Sunday afternoon with imposing ceremonies conducted by the Masonic Order. Fully 2,000 persons attended the dedication and contributed freely at the refreshment table prepared by the managing board. The place is an ideal one for the Old Folks' Home, which is surrounded by a large area of ground and is being turned into a garden. The river and pure country air can not help but invigorate and prove healthful to the old people. The Home, after some repairs, will be in first-class condition, and the officers of the Wednesday Club must be complimented for their good judgment in choosing such a place for the Home. The Belleville Lynching. We are at a loss to understand the lynching of any man in the State of Illinois. When a community elects a mayor of a city, he ought to have some backbone. We are not defending the negro; but we do say that the law ought to be supreme, and ought to be carried out, and that will only be done by men who have some backbone, and who will not cater to a number of dishonest men who care nothing for law. These men should be prosecuted, and if the Mayor fails the Governor should come to the front. The lynching of the school teacher, Wyatt, in Belleville, Ill., is condemned by all intelligent and law-abiding citizens. When the Mayor of the town is asked to explain why proper protection was not given the prisoner, he found it impossible to frame a plausable excuse, and attempts to free himself from the blame by saying that he ordered the police not to shoot for fear that unoffensive persons might have been killed. Miss Mabel Wheeler, enapheroned by her father, Mr. Lloyd Wheeler, of Chicago, will sail from New York, June 23d, for the principal cities in Great Britain and on the continent, returning the middle of August.

Looks Like Corn Will Be Short. State Crop Report, June 9.—In some localities corn is turning yellow, owing to the excess of moisture and lack of sunshine, but as a rule it is still of good color and making fair progress, though greatly in need of cultivation, most fields being very foul. In some of the central and northern counties much corn has been washed out or covered up by the excessive rains. In some of the northern and western counties only one-half to three-fourths of the crop has yet been planted, and in a few of the southwestern counties only about one-fourth of the usual acreage has been planted. There is also considerable planting yet to be done in other sections and an unusual amount of replanting will be necessary. It is probable that in some districts the acreage will be considerably reduced. Bey, John A. Annin. Rev. John A. Annin died at his home in Rolla.

In the stern of a sea-going vessel, At morning, at noon and at night, I saw there a sturdy old boatswain Wbo stood and uplifted his sight To the mast that was towering above him, While pendulant dung from his lip The whistle whose shrill intonations Determined the course of the ship. O, wonderful lesson of science, That crystalled in parable there And brought in its transparent vision The meaning and purpose of prayer! I, too, am adrift on the ocean, My compass, the spirit of man, And with hand on the wheel of Life's rudder I only can steer as I can. But, praise to God's infinite goodness, Thy compass above I can see— The needle of Truth that Thy Spirit Holds in my heart, and I am Unsurweighed by earth's baser attraction, It points to the glories that shine; I read it at morning and evening And reckon my bearings from Thine. —Charles A. Foss, in Ram's Horn. LOVE IS KIND. Even Toward Those Who Are Unkind and Unloving-Requirements of Christian Love. Paul says: "Love suffereth long and is kind." He who supposes that he possesses a large measure of pure love toward God should test himself by observing how he feels and acts toward those who plainly disagree with him. He feels and acts, says C. H. Wetherbe, in the Consecrated Life, kindly toward the brother who agrees with him in respect to religious questions; but when the brother ceases to agree with him and distinctly disagrees with him in reference to the same questions, does he continue to feel and act toward him just as kindly as he formerly did? Here is a practical test; do not seek to evade it. Do not say that the brother, by his now disgreeing with you, gives you just ground for not being as kind to him as you were before he changed his opinion. Love is kind, not because some one agrees with the lover, but because it is its nature, its character, its quality, is truly and invariably kind. Love is kind to the unkind. Can you bear this test? Love is kind, not because people are kind to the lover, but because they ought to be kindly treated whether they be kind or unkind. True love is kind toward the unthankful. Does your love hold out patiently toward such ones? Or, just as soon as a receiver of your kind acts begins to show signs of unthankfulness, do you quit feeling and acting kindly toward him? Do not now hunt for some excuse for not being kind to that unthankful person. You may feel like saying: "It is very provoking. He does not deserve another favor from me. He is too mean to be helped." Yes, all that is true, but our text is: "Love is kind." Then, too, read what Christ says about God: "He is kind to the unthankful." Look at this brief argument: "God is love; therefore He is kind to the unthankful. Is not this logical? Surely it is. See again what Christ says: "If ye love them that love you, what thank have ye?" A testing question, is it not? If you are kind to only those who are kind to you, how much better or purer or stronger is your love than is that of the mass of sinners? If you are kind to only those who are thankful for what you do for them, is your love any higher than that of common people? Is too much required of Christian love? We may be sometimes tempted to think so, but really it is not so. Christian love never prompts its possessor, in the name of justice, to say mean words about those who do not advocate the same doctrines and the same reforms that we advocate. It does not move one to utter defaming language toward men in governmental authority, good men and true, who do not belong to the same political party. Love is kind in every relation of life. Let it have its perfect work in your life. Our Will and Our Beliefs. Belief and unbelief are not simply the effect of more or less evidence presented to the mind. If they were so, and the human mind acted in this uniform way upon evidence, we all would come to an agreement about things great as well as small, and that very quickly. But we see that the evidence which convinces one man leaves another untouched by its force. While other elements enter into the problem, it is not to be doubted that the choice of the will has much to do with our beliefs. We decide to believe or to disbelieve, according to our notion of what will suit us. The man who is following a course of conduct which must fall under the divine condemnation, has a great inducement to disbelieve either God's existence or His retributive justice. As Clough says: "There is no God,' the wicked saith, 'And, if so, it's a blessing; For what he might have done with us it's better only guessing." It's better only guessing." But he who is striving toward a higher and purer life has an equally great inducement to believe that God is, and is the Helper and Inspirer of all honest effort toward things above Him. His needs make him welcome every disclosure God makes of Himself as the sum of all perfections, and man's guide and support in seeking perfection. S. S. Times FAILINGS AND FAILURE A Pair of Words Which Should Not Be Separated-One the Cause, the Other Effect. "Failings" is a pleasant and euphemistic word, which we prefer to use instead of "sins," or even "faults," when speaking of ourselves or our friends "Failure," on the contrary, is an ugly and unpleasant word wherever it is used. Nevertheless says Philadelphia Young People, the two words, pleasant and unpleasant as they are, have a continued connection and are Siamese twins, so to speak in every man's lexicon of life. The theory that a thoroughly good man can be a failure is an entirely abstract one, with never an example to back it. True, a good man may be poor, and remain so; but if poverty is failure, then Socrates was a failure, and Francis of Assisi, and Milton, and Joan of Arc, and the Pilgrim Fathers, and so many others whom the world has agreed to call the highest of successes that to consider them otherwise is simple absurdity. Or a good man may, undoubtedly, remain obscure; but again, how many men, out of any generation, are remembered at all after 100 years, or 50, or even 250. There is no failure in not having our names in the newspapers. Failure means to fail; to attempt to do a thing and be beaten; to see what we have tried to build collapse in a heap of ruin; to lose our battle in the end. Now, a thoroughly good man never can be a failure, for he is not battling for money, or fame, or personal ends at all. He is climbing a path which leads up beyond all possibility of failure, into the eternal successes of Heaven. As long as his feet are firm on that path he is successful, even if he has no bank account, and never is known beyond the next street. And as thorough goodness includes industry and self-respect and courtesy, it apt to be profitable in this world as well as the next, as the apostle reminds us. Failure begins when a man ceases to be true to the very best he knows, aims at the second best, or the third best, or even something perilously near the worst, and, losing his shot, sees defeat coming, with the sickening sense that he deserves it. Job having lost everything, was not a failure in the least; but Belshazzar, at his royal feast, was *v* failure, and recognized it in despair as the enemy thundered at his gates. Our failings bring in our failures. A weakness for pleasure in youth makes many a man a failure in his maturity. A weakness for money defeats the true purposes of many a life. A failing in temper ruins, often, the best opportunities. The only way to true success is to conquer our failings; and if we make an honest bate of it, we shall always win. It is better to begin early, and also to call him, fairly and squarely, "sins," for the smallest failing is a sin in the making. The farmer who digs up grubs early in the season will not lose his crop through beetles later on. The youth who wants to succeed cannot begin to fight his failings too soon or to form his ideals too early. Failure and failings, righteousness and reward, these pairs of words can never be separated, and are as inevitable as cause and effect in God's universe of law. WORDS OF WISDOM. God's plow of sorrow is His promise of harvest.—Ram's Horn. Every good deed has a crown for the doer.—United Presbyterian. There can be no friendship without confidence, and no confidence without integrity.—Rambler. I find the great thing in this world is, not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.—Holmes. We cannot remove the conditions under which our work is to be done, but we can transform them. They are the elements out of which we must build the temples wherein we serve.—Brooke Foss Westeott. As you are ready for it, somewhere or other you will find what is needful for you, in a book, or a friend, or best of all, in your own thoughts—the eternal thought speaking in your thought.—George MacDonald. You need God in the very things that seem to separate you from Him. You must seek Him in the very places where the misery of life seems to be that He is not. You must question the stoniest paths for streams of water—Phillips Brooks. Human help in our need, human forgiveness of our wrong doing, human love in our loneliness, these are the sacraments through which, at their sweetest and purest, we feel a divine help and forgiveness and love flowing into our souls.—G. S. Merriam. It is true that love cannot be forced, that it cannot be made to order, that we cannot love because we ought or even because we want. But we can bring ourselves into the presence of the lovable. We can enter into friendship through the door of discipleship. We can learn love through service.—Hugh Black. In the journey of life we often travel in circles. Therefore, do to-day the good that is in you. Plant your thissoms; you will come back to them and by. It is the beauty of the things that you do to-day that has most to do with making beautiful your tomorrow. One of the blessings of the sunset is in reaping the memories of what was planted in the morning-United Presbyterian Work. Work is one of the most beautiful things in human life. How should people are who look upon work as well and think that they are going to be happy when they get beyond the necessity for it? - Rev. Dr. M. Savage. St. Louis Palladium.

Harris have been discharged from the Sewer Department, not because they were Republicans, but because they were Negroes. The only answer the Sewer Department can deny this statem nt is to put Negroes in the places these men have held. In the First District Police Court, in the Old City Hall, E. M. Hawkins was discharged and a white man put in his place. Thus the Democratic principle is being carried out, and the hatred of the Negro displayed. Our Girls. The sight of some of our girls mounting men's bicycles, assisted by half-grown boys, is becoming a matter of common occurrence, and one to be regretted exceedingly. Girls are fast losing what little modesty they did pretend to have, and are convincing observers that modesty is a thing of the past. Some of them are to be seen riding around the streets during late hours of the night. The mothers of these girls have not the slightest idea as to their whereabouts, and apparently, do not exert themselves to find out. The saving of the Negro race depends upon its women and girls, and at the rate our girls are going, the future holds small hopes for its redemption. The graduating exercises of the Sumner High School will take place Monday night, June 15th, at 8 o'clock sharp. An interesting programme has been arranged, and the exercises will be of unusual merit. A large class from the High and Normal Schools will receive diplomas. Mrs. F. Mathews, of Farmington, Mo., was married to Mr. Ottie Vaughn, of Patoso, Mo., at the residence of Mrs. Mary Simmons. Rev. C. M. Keithen officiated. They will live in Patosa. --- FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES. A W. WASHINGTON, Reporter. St. Louis, Mo., June 7, 1903. There was a rousing meeting at the Fifth Baptist Church to-day, 6 p.m. when the three unions met—namely, the union of the First Baptist Church, Cor. Clark avenue and Fourteenth street; the Antioch Baptist Church union, and the Fifth Baptist Church union. After a few songs the three unions went into permanent organization, after which the following officers were elected to serve for the next quarter, which ends the 3d of September. Miss E. Buchner, President; Mrs. A. R. Davis, Vice-President; Mrs. M. A. Lawrence, Secretary; Miss Eliza Stewart, Assistant Secretary; A. W. Washington, Treasurer; Mrs. Leatha Newcuon, Conductor of Service; Mr. L. H. Paterson, Organist; Mr. James O. Edwards, Chaptain; Madam Sallie F. Louis, Miss Amanda Wilkerson and Mrs. Annie Wooley, Programme Committee; Mrs. Louis Chairman, Mr. Garfield Cravin and two others were appointed Invitation Committee. Mr. M. T. Bailey, chief of the True Reformers, was requested to install the officers, which he did very courteously. This being over, the President, Miss E. Buchner, suggested that the next place of meeting be at the First Baptist Church on the 3d Sunday in September to which all agreed. The regular programme was then taken up which was pa ticipated in by all the unions, consisting of songs, poems and papers, which were very interesting, indeed. A few remarks were made by the President, then a collection was taken up which amounted to $1.70. These are the names of the members of the First Baptist Church who attended the mass meeting at the Fifth Baptist church last Sunday: Mrs. Annie R. Davis, Miss Bertha Smith, Mrs. Leatha Newcum, Madam Sallie F. Louis, Mrs. L. Daniels, Mrs. Pinkie Johns n, Mrs. Carrie Miller, Mrs. F. DeFrance, Miss Annie Broddie, Miss Florence Gordon, Miss Alice Clair, Mrs. Ida Wilburne, Mrs. J. Kelty; men, Garfield Craven, A. P. Brown, Joseph Nabors, A. W. Cobbs, A. W. Washington, Jas. S. Williams, H. Hall, William Carnell, R. Banks and Thqmas Webb. All had a nice time. Antioch Baptist Church. Rev. F. McKinney preached a fine sermon last Sunday morning from the viii. Psalms, 4th verse. "What is man that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man that thou visieth him?" that he had well prepared himself was shown by the manner in which he handled the subject. The Sunday School is doing nicely under the abe Superintendent, Mr. J. A. Smith, and yet there is room for more. Sunday, the 14th, is covenant and communion at Antioch Baptist Church. all are invited. Mrs. C. McKinney, of 4228 Kennerly avenue, is reported to be improving. We hope to see her out again soon. Rev. Lewis Lane is entertaining Mrs. Julia A. Younee and her son and daughter, Mr. M. S. and Miss Beatrice Youree, of Kansas City, Mo. Mr. Youree is a graduate from West Point University, Quindero, Kan. All Ships of the Navy to Be Fitted With Fireproof Furnishings. Steel furniture, made in the Brooklyn navy yard, will be used on the new cruiser Baltimore. The furniture of the state rooms, crews' quarters, the commander's office and even of the show room, will be of steel. Several months of experimenting on the part of Naval Constructor Nutting has developed the fact that almost all the essential furniture of a man of war can be made of steel. Serious damage was done during the war with Spain by furniture of the ships taking fire. The Baltimore in the battle of Manila bay was seriously damaged by such a fire. The equipment of the Baltimore with the new furniture will cost $80,000. The old wooden furniture, hand some and elaborate in design and finish, did not cost more than one-third of that amount. All the ships of the navy are to be fitted with the steel furniture as fast as the plant can turn out the articles. The United States navy is the first to adopt the fireproof interior furnishing plan.—New York Evening Sun Two motor cars are to be provided for the free use of the tenants of some flats now being erected in Paris WRITE TO-DAY FOR RATES, MAPS, TIME-TABLES, ETC, IF YOU ARE CONTEMPLATING A TRIP, ANY PORTION OF WHICH CAN BE MADE OVER THE CHICAGO AND ALTON KANSAS CITY ST.

Dem Carlos of Portugal Enjoys That Distinction. Dom Carlos, king of Portugal, who succeeded the emperor of Germany as King Edward's guest, is the fattest monarch in Europe. He is stouter than the king, and the latter sovereign weighs more than the king of Belgians, who is six inches taller. Dom Carlos has thirteen baptismal names, but they haven't kept him slender. He has a gargantuan appetite and his skill as a trenchman is as great as his skill as a marshal. Dom Carlos, like nearly all other royalists of Europe, is connected by ties of blood with the sovereign of England. He is third cousin of the prince of Wales. He is also connected with nearly all the other royal families of Europe. The present king of Italy is his first cousin and Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria is his second cousin. He can hang up his hat in all the courts of Europe and feel at home. As kings go, Carlos is a good con- situtional monarch.

[Courtesy of St. Louis Globe-Democrat.] STRICKEN EAST ST. LOUIS. Fully Eight Thousand Persons Forced to Abandon Their Homes in East St. Louis. TEN LIVES KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN LOST. Scenes and Incidents Following the Inundation—Three Lives for Three Kegs of Beer—A Greedy Boatman—Seven Deserted Children Saved—A Brave Little Mald From Venice. St. Louis, June 11.—One-fourth of East St. Louis is submerged, and fully eight thousand persons have been forced to abandon their homes. The scenes following the breaking of embankments Wednesday morning are pitiable. All day long refugees poured into St. Louis. Mothers, famished and worn by ceaseless vigil in the face of danger, struggled in large numbers across the bridge. Nearly all were only half-clothed. Little children, many without shoes and some wearing only one stocking, helped to swell the tattered procession. All railway and wagon communica- SCE tion with East St. Louis has been cut off. Only a limited number of pedestrians is allowed to cross the viaduct to East St. Louis. Refugees from East St. Louis are allowed to use the viaduct. Thus far ten persons have been reported drowned in East St. Louis and nine missing. Mayor Cook estimates the number of fatalities at six. Those reported drowned are: E. T. Hurd and three children, colored, of 1901 Bates avenue. Keith O'Day and one child, colored 1500 Tudor avenue. SCENE I Messenger boy, unidentified, at Terminal embankment.

The Pacolet valley suffered the worst. The loss of life by the inundation of the Tri-cities in Illinois will not be nearly as great as at first reported, as missing ones are constantly being heard from, having escaped from their peril.

Charles Mesrick and three children, of 1407 Boismenue avenue; the children are Francis, aged six; Gertrude, aged eight, and Herman, aged 14. Henry Dupert, aged 19, of 400 Railroad avenue. The above list comprises all that is authentic concerning the number of deaths in the East St. Louis flood. It is not thought that the number of deaths will exceed 25. The river at midnight showed a stage of 37.95, practically no change since early yesterday morning. It is thought the decline will begin to-day. Attempt to Save Kegs of Beer Results in Death of Children. St. Louis, June 11.—Three kegs of beer in the boat, in which he was ferrying his family to land, caused the drowning of John Koolish and two of his children. Koolish was taking his four children from his home, near St. Clair avenue, to a place of safety. According to the stories of men who went to the Benner & Brichler morgue Wednesday morning to see the bodies of Koolish and his little girl and little boy, Koolish heeded the appeal of a saloon man who asked him to take three kegs of beer in his boat, so that it would not be lost in NE IN THE FLOODED DISTRICT OF I [Courtesy of St. Louis Globe-Democra the flood. Koolish stopped his boat and took on the three kegs and then tried to pull to the shore. The beer so weighted the boat that when a cross current struck it it sank like lead to the bottom. The two older boys jumped out and managed to reach shore, but Koolish perished in trying to save the two younger children as well as himself. Mrs. Koolish had remained at their home waiting for her husband to come back and get her. She waited long in vain. She did not know what had happened until a couple of hours later, when some- IN THE FLOODED DISTRICT OF ILLI [Courtesy of St. Louis Globe-Democra body rowed out in another skiff and told her of the fate of her husband and children. The grief of the woman when she went to the morgue to see the forms of her loved ones Wednesday morning was pitiful. Greedy Bontman Almost Mobbed. Workers at the rescue station. The plundering of houses by the lawless element in the flooded districts continues, despite the orders that have been given the officers to shoot thieves on the spot. These criminals in some instances are bold and defiant, and refuse to recognize the deputized police. The Salvation army at St. Louis is earning new laurels by its unremitting work in behalf of the flood refugees. The St. Louis relief committee will not send any more money to Kansas City. They have all they can attend to nearer home. Eighth and Broadway, East St. Louis, threatened to lynch a boatman for charging $1.75 to save the lives of a family Wednesday morning. Boats were sent out into the flooded districts for families and furniture. One of the boatmen, unknown to the others, demanded money from the man he had saved. It was given to him. When the fact was learned, lynching was threatened, but the boatman hurried off in his boat and left that neighborhood. Children Deserted by Parents. Philip Lauff, proprietor of the Lauff hotel in Granite City, says he saved a family of seven children in Madison after they had been deserted by their parents. Mr. Lauff's father says that his son told him that he could have saved a woman and baby that were drowned had he been a little bit quicker in getting his boat turned about. The oldest of the children saved was but 14 years. Little Girl Plays Noble Part. Little girl plays Noble Party. Etta Scoggins, 12 years old, of Venice, converted herself from a refuge to a resuer as soon as she set foot on the harbor boat Mark Twain. She was taken from the Venice schoolhouse, although those who remained behind begged her to stay with them. "She's the most cheerful girl we've got," they said, "and helps everybody." But she went with her family on the Mark Twain. She wandered ILLINOIS. about until she found the kitchen. The steward was busy making sandwiches and pouring coffee. "Let me help," said the girl. Then she rolled up her sleeves and began slicing bread. She alternated this with pouring coffee and washing dishes until every one of the 250 refugees on board was fed and the kitchen put in shape to care for more. "She is a wonder," said the steward. "She can do a whole lot better than I can." Doctors Making Calls in Boats. Dr. J. W. Scott, mayor of Venice, and Dr. Ralph Scott have not neglect- NOIS. ed their profession on account of the flood. Using boats instead of buggies, they have made their rounds, calling on their patients as usual. Their home is flooded, and they live in the second story, entering their boats from the roof of their porch. STABBED BY A PICKPOCKET C. E. Vincent Stabbed by a Chicago Pickpocket While Attempting to Protect a Friend. Chicago, June 11—C. E. Vincent, 29 years old, was stabbed, Tuesday night, at the corner of State and Van Buren streets, in sight of hundreds of people. Vincent was attempting to protect a friend from a pickpocket, and paid for his resistance by receiving a fearful slash across the throat. He is dying at the Samaritan hospital. The thieves made their escape. WERE MARRIED AT NOON. Marrige of Miss Ruth, Daughter of Senator and Mrs. Hanna and Joseph Medill McCormick. A PRETTY AND ELABORATE FUNCTION. The President and Miss Alice Roosevelt Among the Guests-St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Cleveland, O., Where the Ceremony was Performed, Beautifully Decorated. Cleveland, O., June 11.—In the presence of a large and distinguished assemblage, Miss Ruth Hanna, youngest daughter of Senator and Mrs. M. A. Hanna, and Joseph Medill McCormick, one of the editors of the Chicago Tribune, son of Hon. Robert S. McCormick, ambassador to Russia and grandson of the late Joseph Medill, for many years owner and editor of the Tribune, were united in marriage at St. Paul's Episcopal church at high noon Wednesday. The wedding party entered the church precisely at noon and passed down the center aisle to the altar. The ushers preceded the maids. They were Howard M. Hanna, of Cleveland, a cousin of the bride; Jos. M. Patterson, of Chicago, a cousin of the groom; Robert Allerton, of Chicago; J. W. Beck, of Chicago; Ernest Miner, of Cincinnati; James Barney, of New York; Wm. Williams, of Philadelphia, and Malcolm McBride, of Cleveland. The maids approached the altar two by two. Miss Florence Cobb and Miss Mary Hopkins leading. Following were Miss Claire Hanna, of Cleveland, a cousin of the bride, with Miss Adelaide Hamilton, of Chicago; Miss Virginia Johnston, of Pittsburg, with Miss Frances Lewis, of Portland, Orc.; Miss Laura McGinley, of Pittsburg, with Miss Eleanor Patterson, of Chicago, a cousin of the groom. The Maid of Honor. The maid of honor was Miss Lucia McCurdy, of Cleveland, cousin of the bride. The maids were gowned alike in exquisite costumes of white silk mulle over pale green silk. They wore white lace hats with medallion tops and with falls of many soft, pale green ostrich feathers about the crown. The maid of honor's gown was like the maids' with the exception of the silk slip which was white. The mulle was made over white silk, the ribbons of white satin and the ostrich feathers white. The maids and Miss McCurdy carried shower bouquets of white sweet peas with maidenhair ferns. The Bride's Costume. The bride walked with her father. Her gown was a creation of white peau de soie made princess with booze effect of real lace with duchess lace and hand embroidery in white chenille set with pearls. The sleeves were of the mulle with a fall of the lace. The trailing skirt was plain to the floor with the exception of four inset falls of real lace, over each of which fell a spray of orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of lilies of the valley and white orchids. The maids and the maid of honor passed up the chancel steps and awaited the bride at the altar. The groom and his best man, his brother, Rutherford McCormick, awaited the bride and her father at the chancel steps, where the betrothal ceremony was performed by Bishop W. A. Leonard, after which the bride and groom passed through the aisle formed by the bride's attendants, to the altar. The bishop was assisted in the ceremony by Dr. Billings, of Groton, Mass.; Dr. Geo. H. McBrew and Rev. W. H. Jones, of this city. The music, which was of rare merit, was under the management of Mrs. Seabury C. Ford. The church was decorated with white peonies. Five immense trees of the flowers standing in the chancel reached to the tops of the windows. The broad decorative scheme was set out with most pleasing effect by hundreds of white candles. The sides of the church were also elaborately decorated. At 11 o'clock the president and other wedding guests at "Glenmere" entered carriages and were driven to St. Paul's church, a distance of five miles. All along the route the president was cheered by crowds of people who had gathered to see him. The president's carriage was closely guarded by the local police and secret service men. No person was allowed to approach the carriage. Around St. Paul's church an immense through of people had congregated, and upon the arrival of the president he was greeted by enthusiastic cheers. When the wedding party entered the church it was crowded to the doors. At the conclusion of the ceremonies the president and other distinguished guests were driven back to "Glenmere." MAN AND MONEY MISSING. Hospital Steward at Fort Yellowstone Believed to Have Been Thrown in River. Gardner, Mont., June 12.—Hospital Steward F. C. Ross, of Fort Yellowstone, in the National park, went to Chico on a three days' leave of absence two weeks ago, and has not been seen since. As Steward Rose handled considerable sums of money, it is believed that he was killed for it and his body thrown into the Yellowstone river.

CATARRH is a very frequent cause of that class of diseases popularly known as female weakness. Catarrh of the pelvic organs produces such a variety of disagreeable and irritating symptoms that many people—in fact, the majority of people—have no idea that they are caused by catarrh.

Mrs. Eva Bartho, 133 East 12th street, N. Y. City, N. Y., writes: "I suffered for three years with leucorrhea and ulceration of the womb. The doctor advocated an operation which I dreaded very much, and strongly objected to go under it. Now I am a changed woman. Peruna cured me; it took nine bottles, but I felt so much improved I kept taking it, as I dreaded an operation so much. I am today in perfect health and have not felt so well for fifteen years."—Mrs. Eva Bartho.

[From the Chicago Record-Herald] "Canada has anticipated a very heavy immigration this year, and she now has figures to show that she is actually getting it in a way to meet all her expectations. In the first four months of this year the doors of the Dominion opened to 40,672 persons, according to a report prepared by the committee on agriculture and colonization of the Canadian parliament. This is almost twice as large as the immigration in the corresponding months last year, and fully three times as large as in 1901, the respective figures being 22,482 and 13.395 "Most of these newcomers have been attracted by the wheat lands of the Northwest territories. They have moved direct from Winnipeg and they have turned that city into a great camp, in which they have been fitting themselves out for the last stage of their adventure for homes. new boston "Of the immigration of this spring a little over a third has come from Great Britain, the figure being 16,457. This is three times as large as the British immigration of the corresponding months of the preceding year, and it is within 2,500 of the number of immigrants that the United States attracted from Great Britain and Ireland in the same period this spring. As to the remainder of the immigration into Canada, 13,770 settlers came from the United States, a 50 per cent. increase over the preceding year, and 10,445 from Continental Europe, a 40 per cent. increase. "These 40,672 immigrants into Canada may appear trifling in comparison with the 297,070 persons who entered the United States in the same period, but they are proportionately more important to the country. Canada's population is one-fifteenth of ours, but her immigration is now two-fifteenth as large as ours. It is worth remembering also that Canada's immigrants are almost entirely of Anglo-Saxon and Teuton-races, while our immigration is now two-thirds made up of Romance and Slav elements. "Speculation is natural as to the future of Canada in her relations to the United States when her North-west territories are filled up, but the one absolutely certain fact of the near future is that the United States is to have a great competitor in the grain markets of the world." The above editorial article taken from the columns of the Chicago Record-Herald of May2 26th shows the condition of the Canadian Immigration, which as pointed out, has had a constant growth—a marvelously increasing growth—for the past six or seven years, until this year, it is confidently assumed the increase in Canada's population, by way of immigration, will exceed 100,000. This is accounted for by the great agricultural resources which abound there. It is no fairy tale, but the matter-of-fact experience of the tens of thousands bear ample testimony to the wealth and riches in store for all who choose to accept of the opportunities offered.

And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered *re* prisoners to the captain of the guard; but Paul was surfered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him. 17. And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together; and when they were come together, he said unto them: Men and children with him committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. 18. Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me. 19. But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of. 20. For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you; because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain. 21. And they said unto him: We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee. 22. But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest; for as concerning this sect, we know that everywhere it is spoken against. 23. And when they had appointed a day, three came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the Kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. 24. And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not. 30. And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came unto him. 31.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. God's promise to Paul that he should witness for Him in Rome was kept. As our lesson shows, the apostle considered that he was there to witness for Christ more than he was to defend himself. Though a prisoner, he preached the Gospel effectively. He did not allow his bonds to hinder him, but made even them help him (Phil. 1:12, 13). He illustrated the truth of the proverb: "Where there is a will there is a way." The enforced stay of three months on the island of Melita gave Paul a chance which he could never have had otherwise to preach the Gospel, and his life of humble service for others must have preached quite as much as his words. The word barbarians meant simply people who did not speak Greek. The first stop was at Syracuse, the capital of Sicily. After leaving Rhegium, the course lay between the famous headland Scylla and the whirlpool Charybdis. Puteoli was the principal port of southern Italy, and situated on the north side of the bay of Naples. As Paul entered the harbor the volcano Vesuvius was in plain sight, and also the beautiful city of Pompeii. The cordial treatment of the traveling Christians by the brethren at Puteoli, whom they had never seen, shows us that Christianity had now become a great brotherhood. It could no longer be called a Jewish sect, but was a "world-conquering religion." The fact that the Roman Christians came the 40 or more miles to the market of Appius to meet Paul, touched him greatly. Though he had kept up the courage of the others, his own heart was troubled, and he longed for human love and sympathy. He knew that he was approaching a life-and-death crisis, and what he had heard from the soldiers of Roman prisons, trials and executions was not reassuring. "Paul was suffered to abide by himself." In his own hired house (v. 30), with only the single soldier, to whom he was bound by a pair of handcuffs, one being fastened to his wrist and one to the wrist of the soldier. "Called together . . . the chief of the Jews." To explain the situation to them. Paul shrank from being considered untrue to his nation and their religion, and tried to show them that he was not. "We desire to hear:" "Paul is a rabbi, evidently enjoying the favor of the Roman authorities, so that the Jewish leaders are ready to hear from him what they had not cared to hear from any of the despised Roman Christians."—Bosworth. The last picture of Paul given us in the Book of Acts is of the man at work in his prison as earnestly as ever before, teaching all those about him of Jesus, and by his letters strengthening those who were far away. The letters to the Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Philemon were written from this Roman prison. It is generally believed that Paul was released, spent several years in active missionary work, was again imprisoned, and finally beheaded at Rome, but our history stops just here, and the facts of the rest of his life are very uncertain. PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. The faithful disciple will testify for Christ, no matter what his circumstances may be. The faithful disciple will lose no time in testifying for Christ, wherever he may go. The faithful disciple will study the Scriptures, that he may testify for Christ with authority. The faithful disciple will continue to testify for Christ, though many reject his witness. Haruness of heart is not a sign of strength of character. TOO TRUSTFUL. Described His Lcst Spectacles Too Accurately for the Reward A great many stories are told of the late Thomas Brackett Reed, many of which, doubless, are clever inventions, but the following, related by a friend of the dead statesman, sounds enough like him to be true, says south's Companion. A sleeping car, had been careless, moved to leave his gold-framed spectacles lying for a few moments on a shelf in the wash-room, and when he went to look for them they were gone. He immediately put up a written notice in two or three places, describing the spectacles and offering a reward of one dollar for their recovery, but to no purpose. He never saw them again. He related the incident one day to Mr. Reed. "When you described the spectacles and offered a dollar to the finder," asked the latter, in his accustomed drawl, "were you careful to say they were gold?" "Certainly." "Well, that's the reason you didn't get them," rejoined Mr. Reed. "The millennium hasn't come yet." Concerning Wool. "De older er man gg," said the colored parson, "de hahder it am ter pull de wool obe his eyes." His eyes, "ho' yo' all account foh dat, parson," asked, Deaon Flatton. "Ah accounts for it on de ground' dat de older a man gits de less wool he have," an顿 have frightened a chicken out of its wits. —Cleveland Leader. Saved His Life. Whitehall, Ill., June 8th. - Mr. Lon Manley had Bright's Disease and after his home doctor had treated him for sometime he finally told him that he could do nothing more for him, and that he would surely die. He had heard of what Dodd's Kidney Pills had done in cases of Kidney Trouble, advised Mr. Manley to try a treatment of this remedy. He did so and everyone was surprised and delighted to see an improvement in a very short time. This improvement gradually kept on as the treatment proceeded, till now Mr. Manley is well. He says: "I was very happy when he could for me. He gave me up. A friend advised me to take Dodd's Kidney Pills, and in a few weeks I was nearly all right again. "I am not dead, and can truthfully say that I feel better today than I have for years. Dodd's Kidney Pills are a wonderful remedy and I will always praise them and commend them to everyone suffering as I did." Mr. Manley's recovery has caused a profound sensation, as no one ever thought he would recover. His System. "Before I ask you to prescribe for me, doctor," said the patient with the shiny black coat, "I should like to know what system you practice." "Cash," replied the doctor.—Chicago Tribung. THE MARKETS.

A WOMAN IN A WORKING HOUSE Mrs. Robert Broderick who resides at 1915 Virginia St., in San Antonio, Texas, tells an experience that will interest every reader. It shows as well that Doan's cures are lasting cures. She says: "Up to the early part of the year 1902 I had been a sufferer from kidney troubles for many years. The pain in my back became worse and worse until it was a daily burden that interfered with every duty. I was much afflicted with headaches and dizzy spells and was unable to rest well nights. In May 1902 after using Doan's Kidney Pills I made a statement for publication declaring that they had entirely relieved me of the pain in my back. I have since then had a year's time in which to study the effects of the medicine, and while I have had slight touches of the trouble since, the use of the pills has always driven away all signs of the disorder and I have become convinced of the fact that the first treatment was practically permanent in its effects, and I know that a box of Doan's Kidney Pills kept on hand is a sufficient guarantee against any suffering from the kidneys or back. I should advise every sufferer to take Doan's Kidney Pills, and I know that they will be surprised and pleased with the result."
