ST.LOUIS PALLADIUM. Vol. XIX. No. 28. CITY NEWS. Notes and News Concerning Our People--Weekly Record of Social Events, Deaths, Marriages and Births-- Written Especially for St. Louis Palladium. MISS VELLA CRAWFORD'S PARTY. The party given by Mrs. Sciota Green in honor of Miss Vella Crawford on last Saturday afternoon was an enjoyable affair. Games were indulged in of which Miss Crawford received the first prize and Miss Maude brown the second. Following this was a hunt for the egg of gold. Many of the young ladies became discouraged in this search, but the brave and perserverring Misses Isom and Harris succeeded in finding the egg which when it was opened contained a nugget of gold for each young lady of the party. Miss Crawford entertained the party after luncheon with sketches, both vocal and instrumental which enhanced all who heard her. Miss Madell Brown then rendered several beautiful selections on the piano which was pleasing to all. The house was elaborately decorated with potted plants. Mrs. Mabel Jones and Mrs. Green being the designers. The young birds who attended were as follows. Misses: Little Reynolds, Fannie Parker, Melissa Parram, Alberta Osom, Theresa Caus, Julia Harris, Juestina Freezen, Nannile Walton, Ocarsenia Jones, Bradell Brown, Ella Alexander, Vella Crawford. The elaborate gown worn by Miss Vella Crawford on graduating night was caused quite a sensation among many. Her gown was the most unpleasant worn at the exercises. The wrist is decorated with pin tucks, and made disks to form clover leaves enclosed with french knots. Forming the lower part is French lace headed with white satin ribbon. The shirt is made in French style to cling to the form with a deep flounce at the bottom of the skirt with three rows of white satin ribbon at the bottom, four rows of sheering at the top one row of French lace which makes it a typical French dress. Much credit must be given to Miss Mel Jones for the making and designing of Miss Crawford's dress as a graduating present. COLORED ORPHANS HOME. Update the rain a large number of enthusiasts boarded the City of Providence last Monday on their way to Montesano Springs. After reaching Montesano, they indulged in dancing on the pavilion there and took pleasure trips on the scenic railway and various other sources of amusements funded by the grounds. Prominent among those on board are the members of the T. C. G. C. Ph., whose colors of black and gold, worn on the left arm, rendered them somewhat conspicuous. Messrs David E. Gordon and John B. Robinson and E. S. Williams seemed to enjoy themselves immensely. The exorcists flattered themselves upon being honored by the presence of a new bride and groom, in the persons of Mr. and Mrs. John Jones, Mrs Jones, Miss Allie May Robinson, one of the recent graduates, was married last Monday morning. The excursion to Montesano Springs served as a honeycomon tour. There were other newly married couples, namely, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Cookner and Mr. and Mrs. Victor Smith, Mr. Charles Turner and daughter accompanied by Mr. Dick Calvin seemed to be having a pleasant time. Others present were:—Mr. and Mrs. Richard Cole and daughter, Mr. Richard Williams of 2654 Morrison st. and Mrs. Richardson of 324 Montrose ave. Mrs. Douglass of 4027 Parfax ave and Mrs. Tinsely of 2231 Walnut st. Miss Mamie Morrell, one of our teachers, Mrs. W. J. Pearson and mother, Mrs. Garrett and foster Mrs. Mrs. Perkins and daughters Rev. E. C. Cole of First Baptist Church. Those on board spent a very pleasant time. Some who were left in the morning arrived at Montesano by rail in the afternoon, determined not to miss the days outing. The excursion was a general success.

The above expression floated thro' the air last Monday morning in spite of the effort of the rain-drops to weigh it down. Many of the younger element of our grace, who have positions leading to success, threw care to the winds and joyfully boarded the excursion steamer. WATCH The women at the grocery stores morning and night. The young girls on bicycles as a common accrobat. The common pimps hanging around where school girls are.

There is more buying of real estate in St. Louis at present than at any other time in its history. You cannot rent anything now, so why not buy as the time may soon come when there will be nothing to buy. A bargain is good at all times, and a better thing now than it will be after the World's Fair. I have several bargains in houses. Insurance placed in the best companies.

The sudden passing away of the veteran Mississippiian, Mr. James Hill was a shock to all who knew him. He died on June 12th of heart disease. Mr. Hill had filled numerous offices since he entered a political life. He was National Committeeman from that State for years. He was opposed to the renomination of President Roosevelt and he started a Republican newspaper for the purpose of defeating the President. His death removed the chief opposition in Mississippi to the Presidents' renomination. We regret his death very much and honor him for his many good deeds. But this should be a lesson to Honorable Chase Editor of the Washington Bee. TEN YEARS AGO Just ten years ago the Doctors said that riding bicycles was an unhealthy practice and the habit has about been abandoned except by some who are just out of the gutter and a few un sophisticated girls who are riding and a few others who want their way. Tom boy girls will continue as long as the world stands. Snooks. Rev.

Instead of Mr. Bartholdt lending his aid to the punishment of these fraudulent ballot jugglers, we find him appealing for mercy for those who would rob us of our highest and most sacred privilege. There is a well grounded rumor too that the Brewers have found Herr Bartholdt a rather expensive representative and a quiet tip has reached them from influential Congressmen, that fore flushing tactics can no longer prevail, and that there are other Congressmen who have done more for the Brewers than Herr Bartholdt and talked less about it. Mr. Bartholdt's greatest claim for recognition seems to rest in the fact that he successfully juggled the bill, removing the war tax from beer. BOODLERS OR THIEVES. If these Democratic Sons of Aunt Hager aren't going from bad to worse the Palladium has missed her guess. Information reaches us that Sid Conors and his partner, two Democratic City Hall janitors are in jail for selling property. Just watch these scented ducks, tuey all end just as the Ralladium predicted. These sweet scented fellows will meet their reward. KEEP THEM AWAY. Will the Police Department drive from the corners of Jefferson and Lawton and Jefferson and Pine and Jefferson and Market those Pimps, loafers and rounders that infest these corners for the purpose of guying women and girls. They assemble on these corners like black birds on a The 10th, district should be represented by a man who will act for all of the people alike, and not appear on the floor of the House as the REPRESENTATIVES OF THE BREWERS, for the 10th district. If the Brewers insist on returning Herr Bartholdt to Congress they must abide by what follows. Max C. Starkloff, Chas Nagel, Judge Seldon P. Spencer, or Judge Zachritz would make ideal representatives, they would at least be unhampered by Beirmanism and poor relatives. Nepotism never has and does not now meet the favors of honest voters and tree thinking people. Herr Bartholdt has out lived both his usefulness as a congressman and the confidence of the 10th, district or the Palladium has missed her guess. MORE OF HERR BARHOLDTS POLITICAL METHODS. His Brother-in-Law Beirman Gets Fat Salary of $3000. per Annum His Sister-in-Law Draws $1500, as Secretary to Him Time and again have we said that the Palladium never fought except prompted by just causes, hence our opposition to Mr. Bartholdt. What has Mr. Bartholdt done for the district (?) is the question' which none have as yet satisfactorily answered for The Palladium. Herr Bartholdt has filled every fatt office at the federal pie counter in St. Louis with a relative of his own, and his chief ambition is to be regarded as "The Patronage Broker" of the State. His Brother-in-law Geo. Beirman holds a lucrative position in the Revenue office which pays him $3000. per year. Herr Bartholdt also appointed his Sister-in-law as his Secretary, a position which pays $1500. per year, and findings. Not only these but dozens of other poor relatives of Bartholdt have been placed in fat and commanding positions by the Herr Doctor, while hundreds of honest voters of the 10th. district have been turned aside. It is of record that Bartholdt and his kinsmen draw over $20,000. yearly from the United States Government. Will some one kindly inform us just where the one comes in for a share. Only a few months ago Bartholdt brought one of his relatives up from New Madrid, Mo., and placed him in a Government office, thus depriving another honest voter of a position justly due him. Herr Bartholdt is continually preaching "dot dere vas too many Chermans" in office, and a number of his former German- American friends have decided to take him at his word and relegate him to the rear. A good story is told of Mr. Bartholdt, when ex-Mayor Ziegenhein first introduced him to Mr. Filley as "Congressional timber." It is said that Mr. Filley quietly suggested to Mr. Ziegenhein the advisability of securing a new suit of clothing and a shave for Herr Doctor before exposing the new product to the public. His ingratitude to the men that made him and his film-flam unreliable methods have proven him unworthy of confluence or the support of honest voters. The man who deserted those who made it possible for him to secure a new suit of clothing and a shave is not the individual whom the new 10th. district will tie too in the next election. What chance is there for the voters of the 10th district or the state for that matter so long as Bartholdt's relatives are imported by the score. Bartholdt's sagacity is shown in the appointment of Judge Gallenkamp, Bartholdt labored diligently to promote the success of the present custodian for Judge Gallenkamp was a dangerous congressional factor and Bartholdt wanted him at least temporarily shelved from prominence. It might, be mentioned here also that a little more starch added to the courage of Judge Gallenkamp would be of material benefit, both to one party and those employed under him, even men and women holding such menial positions as janitors have feelings, and are due some degree of respect if Bartholdt's benchman is the assistant head-janitor. "The Palladium" again asks the question: Why did congressman Bartholdt and Joy ask the Honorable Pat Dyer to let up on those fraudulent voters? Can it be that some of those naturalized voters were kinsmen of Bartholdt from over the Rhine. Nepotism has in former times stirred public sentiment to such a degree as to overturn Kingdoms and Monarchs and there is no escape now visible for the South Side congressman. The people are on to both Bartholdt and Beirman and $15,000 will hardly save him the next time out. The Brewers will have to ante a great deal stronger in the future for Bartholdt's salvation is even beyond the power of honest means. BOODLERS OR THIEVES. If these Democratic Sons of Aunt Hager aren't going from bad to worse the Palladium has missed her guess. Information reaches us that Sid Conors and his partner, two Democratic City Hall janitors are in jail for selling property.

PROVIDENT HOSPITAL NURSES GRADUATE. The graduation exercises of the Provident Hospital Training School took place last Thursday evening, June 18, at the Metropolitan Church, Jefferson ave. and Morgan str. The report read by the President, Prof. D. E. Gordon was very interesting, containing many facts concerning the management and present condition of the Hospital, that should appeal to the public at large. The address delivered by Rabbi Leon Harrison was the main feature of the program. Rabbi Harrison paid a glowing tribute to the trained nurse, paying special attention to their high and humane calling. The Provident Hospital is an institution supported mainly by charity. It is thoroughly equipped with everything that is necessary to make it one of the best institutions of its kind in the city and is a credit to all concerned. Dr. Davis is the Superintendent. The Afro-American Enterprise League suffered a great financial loss through the failure of the excursion to Peoria Iills. Owing to the high-waters and other unforeseen obstacles. The public that readily takes to excursions was afraid of accidents caused by bad tracks. President Huston contemplates running an excursion to Paducah Ky., the latter part of August. The Post Office Clerks can be seen almost any morning practicing base ball in Forest Park. Some of the Clerks play like professionals. Rev. Dr. B. Levister, Pastor of Second Baptist Church of Kirkwood will preach at First Baptist Church at 8 p. m. Sunday evening. The Doctor is a graduate of theology from one of the Colleges in the East. Picnics at Offensteins Grove on July 29th and August 4th., will be record breakers. Wait for them. Miss Sarah Finney and Mr. George Elunm were married on Thursday, June 18th, at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church. Miss Alice May Robinson and Mr. John Jones were married on June 22. Miss Emily P. Parker will leave shortly for a trip of Boston where she will be the guest of Miss Adina White, formerly a drawing teacher of Sumner.

The Palladium man knows a great BIG mouthful. Mr. J. W. Hicks, the brother of Miss Hicks, is quite lucky. He sold a horse h head paid $25, for, for the sum of $200. The Orphans' Excursion carried aboard many social parties and clubs, among them the T. C. G. C. club being most admired. The young ladies wore entire white costumes with the club colors encircling the left arm. Few of the recent graduates are so happily endowed with the mental attributes and charming personality which some of the members of the class of 1903 possess. Miss Maudelle T. Brown an accomplished pianist and Miss Theresa Coats who wrote the words of the class song "Vive La Compagnie" have created this impression upon all who are fortunate enough to know them. Mr. John Jones Jr. and bride, who were married early Monday morning, attended the excursion and seemed especially happy. The bride was a member of this year's class of Summer High School, and graduated one week previous to the nuptials. HON. GEORGE W. PARKER Hon. George W. Parker is making a tour of the Pacific Coast States and Alaska for pleasure. At the request of President D. R. Francis he is interviewing Governors and Exposition Com- Miss Mattie Hicks of Sturgeon Mo., is visiting friends in St. Louis. She will remain several weeks. Messrs Theodore, Mozee and Thomas Jefferson on Monday established a precedent among the young men of their circle, by entertaining a party of select friends aboard the City of Providence. A "comme it faut" hamper and all the latest delicacies of the season were enjoyed, after which the entire party were taken to the various places of amusement at Montesano Springs. The picnic at Hoehn's Grove last Monday night was a grand success. More than 2000 persons were present. Dr. W. P. Curtis has returned from his trip South. His brother, Dr. Curtis of Chicago is his guest at present. The Palladium wants to make men and women happy. To accomplish this it must out the quicksands into which the young might fall. First, let every mother and father say "I will do what I can to improve the morals of children." Stop your girls from riding bicycles. Stop your girls from riding bicycles or from learning. Keep your boys out of dens of iniquity and they will not wind up in the work house. When wrongdoers are told of their actions, stop giving as an excuse the cry, "the white people of the West end do it." When girls tell their mothers that they are walking out in company with so and so. The mothers ought to know positively. When girls ride bicycles on dark streets they are only starting meddling tongues. November will soon be here and the money paid out to rent bicycles will be needed when the cold weather comes on. ST. LOUIS NEGRO RECEIVES SHEEPSKIN AT OBERLIN. Carroll Langston Marks Era in Race Development by Being Third of His Generation to Be Graduated. Oberlin, Ohio., June 22—Among those who will be graduated from Oberlin College Wednesday is Carroll Napier Langton, a negro of St. Louis. His brother John Mercer Langton, was graduated from the same college in June, 1901. Professor Arthur D. Langton, Principal of Dumas school of St. Louis, father of these two young men, was graduated from Oberlin in 1877. John M. Langston, formerly a member of congress, was graduated from Oberlin College in 1849. Thus these generations of the Langston family have been graduated from Oberlin College, and the record is said to be without precedent in the development of the negro race in America.—Republic.

Antioch Church is in line with other churches in assisting the flood sufferers, they have given $10, besides helping in other ways. The Devil's Own. We learn from the Omaha (Nebraska) Evening Bee of an Omaha clergyman who administered the sacrament and christened the babies out in the middle of the state the other day and amused himself on his way back by shooting song-birds—bringing into Omaha twenty-two slaughtered meadow larks, for which he was fined one hundred and ten dollars. We don't know what denomination he belonged to, but do know that a minister of the gospel who goes out shooting meadow larks for the fun of killing them, is one of the devil's own ministers, and ought to be turned out of a Christian church.—Geo. T. Angell. We have some of those same devils in St. Louis, who are not only killing birds, but who are ruining women and girls, and when they are caught up with they are sent to another field of labor. The St. Louis Palladium knows more than it tells. What Does It Mean? We are informed that many of the big preachers are leaving the pulpit and going to hard labor and hustling for a living. We presume they are getting down to their right place which leaves the pulpits to some men whom God has called. We know a heap. We take pleasure in presenting to the public Geo. S. Williams, who has been conducting a saloon at 715 Linden street. He has been in the business for years, and is known to keep an orderly and quiet place. You will do well by calling at his place. We will have more to say about him in the future. Master Raymond Hynes, of 1920 Wash street, is now playing with the company of Mrs. Mason, of Farmington, Mo. Miss Anna Parram, chaperoned by Mrs. G.

This country has spent $3,000,000,000 in pensions, and yet whenever the peace society lifts its voice everybody laughs. The American quick lunch counter has been introduced into England, and will pave the way for the American dyspepsia tablet. By undertaking to mix ten drops of half-way protection with 90 drops of colonial imperialism, Mr. Chamberlain produced a medicine that may upset the British cabinet. Tesla's latest electric conception is to circle the earth with the wireless system. This inventor's runaway imagination has hitherto refused to work in terrestrial harness. If there is a college or university in the country that is not holding out both hands for more bequests and endowments, it should enter the lists at once for a prize as an educational freak. The presidency of the University of Virginia has no temptation for Mr. Cleveland. Another presidency, however, might possibly lure him from the privacy of his New Jersey retirement. Morgan Necessary eloped with Pearl Hoss down in the Indian territory, and the heartless judge sent the Lochinvar to jail, insisting that Hoss stealing was not necessary under any conditions. If the new Servian king has to defend his title against all the pretenders who may set up a claim to royal parentage through the profligate Milan, he will have little time for anything else during his reign. In condemning the use of telephones as a sinful practice the old order of German Baptists display wisdom. These are times when it is mighty hard to use the telephone without smashing one of the ten commandments. Henry Roso, the wealthy Cuban planter, who, it is said, gave the greater part of his fortune in aid of the Cuban revolutionists, is confined in a New York asylum for the insane. Mr. Roso's estate, which at one time was in the millions, has dwindled, it is said, to $50,000. The construction of an isthmian canal and of a deep channel by way of the Mississippi and the Illinois to Lake Michigan ought to proceed at the same time. And to render the circuit complete New York should push ahead with the 1,000-ton barge canal from Lake Erie to the piers of New York city. Although the vatican at Rome contains the colossal number of 11,000 rooms, it is no longer sufficiently large to furnish adequate accommodation for the papal court and to lodge all its inmates. It is on this account that Leo XIII has opened negotiations with the Italian government for the purchase of the so-called Zecca or ancient mint. According to estimates made in the weather bureau at Washington, the lives lost by flood and tornado in this country thus far in the present year number at least 1,250. Natural forces, therefore, have destroyed within a period a little longer than that of our struggle with Spain more than four times as many Americans as were killed n the battles of that war. The $30,000 in bills which figured in the bribery cases attending the election of Senator Clark by the Montana legislature still remains a part of the archives of that state. The man to whom it was given as a bribe never claimed it; the briber or bribers have not asked that it be returned and there is no channel by which the state can appropriate it as a part of the public funds. A man writes to inquire: "How should Christians treat Jews?" This is the way one Christian treated one Jew. It is an old story, but worth the retelling. The late William M. Evarts secured for Edward Lauterbach $2,700 in a law case in which Mr. Lauterbach's bill was only $1,110. Lauterbach's thankful acknowledgment was: "Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian." Patriotic citizens who whooped vociferously for war with Spain are likely to scratch their heads at the information that 57,646 "invalids" of that conflict have already made application for pensions along with 8,390 "widows and orphans." As more people are killed and wounded every Fourth of July than succumbed in the whole Spanish war, it may puzzle the ordinary tax-paying citizen to account for this extraordinary pension list. All the press humorists who whet their pencils on the Kentucky feudism write on papers that are not published in Kentucky. The presumption is that nobody in Kentucky dares be funny at the expense of the feudists. Their inability to see anything humorous in their own mental attitude keeps them in an assassination frame of mind; and yet there is the height of grim humor in it. The idea of keeping on killing each other for something done by somebody a decade ago, is one that only a burlesque opera could do justice to. RASCALS UP AGAINST IT. Offenders in the Post Office and Other Departments to Be Pursued Relentlessly. SPECIAL COUNSEL HAVE BEEN CHOSEN It Will Be Their Province to Sift the Evidence Adduced, and, Where Gulit is Apparent, to See That the Offenders Get All That is Coming to Them. Washington, June 24.—The attorney general has been directed by the president to retain special counsel for the prosecution all offenders detected in wrongdoing in the post office department. He has designated as his choice Charles J. Bonaparte, of Baltimore, and Holmes Conrad, who served as solicitor general under President Cleveland. Mr. Bonaparte, besides being a leader of the Maryland bar, is one of the most absolutely independent and relentless pursuers of rogues in office that the country knows. As far as he is a party man at all, he is a republican, but he lays the lash of his criticism over republicans even more vigorously, if possible, than over democrats, because he regards them as special sinners against the light. Mr. Conrad is chosen because he is a democrat, and was appointed solicitor general by President Cleveland on the ground of his conspicuous ability. The instructions given to the two special counsel are not only to aid in trying the cases which are brought into court, but to sift the evidence which comes out hereafter regarding anybody, and see what is the last extremity of punishment in the power of the government to inflict, and then inflict it. Where a criminal prosecution can be undertaken and the offender sent to the penitentiary, that will be done. Where the offense, though capable of proof, is barred by the statute of limitations and the offender, if still in the government service, will be dismissed peremptorily. By this means the president hopes to purge the post office department and its outside machinery of the last vestige of scandal, and also to encourage the honest officers of other departments to cleanse them also, in the full consciousness that they will be backed at the White House, no matter who may try to stand in the way. EX-CONGRESSMAN INDICTED, Ex-Congressman Driggs Mixed Up in the Post Office Scandal. New York, June 25—Ex-Congressman Driggs was indicted by the federal grand jury in Brooklyn Wednesday. He appeared before Judge Thomas and gave bail. The indictment grew out of the investigation into post office affairs by the grand jury. Four indictments were found, alpractically alike. Each charges the Driggs, between July 20 and 24, 1900 unlawfully agreed to receive and did receive a $500 check from the Brandt-Dent company for procuring a contract from the United States government for making and delivering 250 automatic cashiers for the post office department. To the first two indictments, Mr Driggs pleaded not guilty, reserving the right to plead later to the others, which contain 16 counts each, after his lawyer had read them. Mr. Driggs refused absolutely to comment on his indictments, lie has previously admitted, however, receiving a salary of $12,500 from the Brandt-Dent company for introducing its machines, but claimed that the work he did for the company was done before he was sworn in as congressman, but after his election, and declaring that he had done nothing to which the government could object. PREPARING TO PROSECUTE. Edward F. McSweeney Charged With Abstracting Papers. Washington, June 25.—The department of justice is preparing to prosecute criminally Edward F. McSweeney, late deputy commissioner of immigration at Ellis island, for removing from the files and taking unlawful private possession of "certain papers belonging to the government." This prosecution will be along the same line as that of Tyner for the rifting offense committed in the post office department. LORENZ AND WIFE ARRESTED. They Will Have a Preliminary Heard in Toluca, Thursday Toledo, O., June 25.—George E. Lorenz and his wife, who were recently indicted by the federal grand jury at Washington in connection with the scandal in the post office department, were arrested Wednesday. A preliminary hearing will be held Thursday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Lorenz each gave bond in the sum of $3,000. Mrs. McKinley's Neice Weds. Canton, O., June 25. At seven o'clock Wednesday evening Miss Idn Barber, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. C.

Milligan, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, in the presence of several hundred guests. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Kate Barber, and the groom by his brother Stephen.

The act passed by the legislature last winter providing for the refunding of the money which was paid into the state treasury under the act levying a special tax on whisky, which the supreme court declared to be unconstitutional, is now in effect. The amount so paid in aggregated $20,742.96. State Auditor Albert O. Allen began the issuance of warrants the other day, and State Treasurer R. P. Williams mailed checks to all persons, associations, companies and corporations shown by the books of the late tax commission to be entitled thereto. There are several hundred of these persons, and the average sum to be received by each is about $10. Woodson War Claims Not Included. The news sent from Jefferson City that Elwyn Green, of the treasury department at Washington, was there to examine into the war claims of the state has brought a flood of letters to all the state officials. Holders of the Crafton war claims are sending in for their money. State Auditor Albert O. Allen states that the examination being made by Mr. Green is only as to the money which had already been paid by the state in the arming, equipment and support of soldiers for the civil war, and that no part of the war claim certificates issued during the administration of Gey. Woodson is included therein. Farm Life for Children. On an 80-acre farm, near Eureka, 125 poor children of St. Louis are having one of the happiest times of their life. The farm has been secured by the Industrial Farm association for the purpose of affording outings this summer to the children of the poorer districts of St. Louis. It is thought that an outing of two weeks can be given to 1,000. When the first 125 children have stayed on the farm two weeks they will return to St. Louis and another crowd of little ones will be taken to the country. Death of Pioneer Merchant. Louis Hammerslough, a pioneer dry goods merchant of Kansas City, died, recently, of dropsy, aged 68. Mr. Hammerslough was born at Hanover, Germany, and came to this country in 1854.

John McCray's Life Saved by Officers Taking Him to Galesburg for Safe Keeping. Peoria, Ill., June 25.—John McCray, the colored desperado who killed Detective W. E. Murphy, was taken out of the county jail through a door in the rear shortly after noon Wednesday. A carriage was waiting, and Sheriff Potter, accompanied by two deputies and his prisoner, drove to Pottstown, boarding a Chicago, Burlington & Quincy train for Galesburg, where McCray will be imprisoned until the date of the trial. In the early part of the evening a crowd gathered in front of the county jail, and it became evident that an attempt would be made to force an entrance. State's Attorney Teft and Circuit Judge Green addressed the crowd, telling them that a special grand jury would be summoned immediately; that the trial would be held as soon as possible. In order to convince the mob that McCray had been removed a committee composed of six members of the mob were permitted to search the building. During the morning several colored men, who were confined in jail for petty offenses, were removed to the workhouse in order that no mistake might be made in the event that the jail was broken into by a mob. After hearing the report of their committee that McCray was not in the jail the mob dispersed. NEGRO HELD IN SERVITUDE. Three Young Men Fined One Thousand Dollars Each by a Judge at Macon, Ga. Macon, Ga., June 25.—In the United States court, Wednesday, Judge Speer imposed a fine of $1,000 each on three young men, William Shy, Arthur Cawson and Robert Turner, for holding a negro in involuntary servitude. He suspended the fine under conditions, and in so doing said: "In view of the fact that it is the first crime of the kind which ever has occurred in Georgia, and because of the frank confession of the young men, sentence is imposed in order to convince the public that the purpose of the court is to warn and deter others from like crime. During good behavior fine is suspended upon payment of $100 by each." The offense was that the young men, who are prominent farmers, caught a negro who had gotten in debt to them, gave him a whipping and made him go to work for them. Judge Speer said that the problem of the times could not be solved by harsh measures, and he wanted it distinctly understood that the laws of Georgia were against such treatment. Peonage in Alabama. Montgomery, Ala., June 25.—In the United States court, Wednesday, J. W. Pace, a prominent planter of Tallapoosa county, was arraigned for trial on 11 indictments charging him with peonage. Demurrers were filed in all of the cases, which were overruled and Pace then pleaded not guilty in all of the 11 cases, and appealed to the circuit court of appeals. BOODLE SECRETED IN A COAT. St. Louis Street Railway Legislative Agent Said to Have Carried $150,000 to the Capital. St. Louis, June 25.—It was brought out through statements made to Circuit Attorney Joseph W.

The names of the agent and of the individuals who were willing to spend money so freely to make the consolidation possible are known to the circuit attorney, but are withheld for the present, until all the details and names of the parties concerned are ascertained. SILK WORM EXPERIMENTS. Satisfactory Progress Reported By the Secretary of Agriculture Interest in Tests Increasing. Washington, June 25.—Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, Wednesday, announced that the government's experiments with the propagation of silk worm has proceeded so satisfactorily that within a few days the department would begin the actual reeling of silk. With a view to increasing the interest in this industry the department has encouraged in every way possible the growing of white mulberry trees, which, investigation has shown, develop worms which make beautiful cocoons. The experiments with the Osage orange were unsatisfactory. SHOT THROUGH A HOUSE.

But More are Needed—Corn Cultivation Vigorously Pushed. *Columbia, Mo., June 23.—The United States department of agriculture, weather bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending June 22, says: The temperature during the past week averaged higher than during the week preceding, but was somewhat below the normal, although there was a high percentage of sunshine. Moderately heavy showers fell in some localities on the 18th and 19th, but as a rule the precipitation, up to the 20th, was very light, and many correspondents report that rain is badly needed for corn, oats, potatoes and gardens, and to soften the surface of the ground, which has become badly crusted. The conditions were favorable for showers during Sunday, however, and late reports indicate that good rains have fallen in portions of the central and northern sections at least. sections as laid. The week has been very favorable for farm work, and the cultivation of corn has been vigorously pushed. The bulk of the crop is now clean, some having been cultivated the third time, and generally has a good color, but is not making as rapid a growth as it should, owing to the cool nights. In a few counties, particularly in the eastern sections, the crop is quite unpromising. Planting and replanting have progressed rapidly, but are not yet completed. In the northwestern counties much of the overflowed land has been replanted during the week. In the southeastern counties, some corn has been laid by. The crop, as a whole, is backward and uneven, and in some districts the acreage will be much smaller than usual. The cool nights have been unfavorable for cotton, and in portions of New Madrid county it is becoming very lousy, but the crop is generally well cultivated and making fair progress. Wheat harvest is about completed in the extreme southeastern counties, is beginning in the central section, and will become general this week. Wheat is generally filling well in the northern sections, and in a considerable number of the northern counties promises an average, or nearly an average, yield, but in many of the central and nearly all of the southern counties only one-fourth to one-half a crop is expected. In some of the southern counties a considerable portion of the crop is not worth cutting. Rye generally promises well. Oats continue in good condition in most of the northern counties, but are rusting to a considerable extent in the central and southern sections, and the outlook for the crop in those sections is much less promising than at the preceding week. Damage by the oat louse is reported in a number of counties. Mendows continue to promise a heavy yield, except in a few counties. Much clover has been cut during the week and secured in good condition. Cow peas, where sown, look well. Melons promise a fair crop in portions of Dunklin county. Flax is improving in Vernon county. Early potatoes were seriously injured in some localities by the wet weather during the fore part of the month, but generally promise a good yield, and gardens are doing well, as a rule. Apples promise from a half to three-fourths of a crop in some of the central and northern counties, and also in a few localities in the southern sections, but generally throughout the southern counties there will be less than one-fourth of a crop. They are still dropping to a considerable extent, and in some districts very few remain on the trees. POST OFFICE INDICTMENTS. The Washington Grand Jury Returns Several Indictments for Conspiracy to Defraud. Washington, June 23.—The grand jury which has been investigating United States postal affairs, returned an indictment against August W. Machen, Diller B. Groff, Samuel A. Groff, Geo E. Lorenz and Martha J. Lorenz, the two latter being residents of Toledo, O. As previously stated the specific charge is conspiracy to defraud the government. The indictment is based on Section 5440 of the Revised Statutes, which provides a penalty of $10,000 or two years improvement, or both, in the discretion of the court. . Former Banker Sentenced. Denver, Col., June 23. -Edwin Howell, former teller of the First national bank of Cripple Creek, was sentenced, Monday, by Judge Ryner in the United States district court to serve five years in Fort Leavenworth penitentiary.

President Roosevelt Decides to Transmit to the Russian Government the Jewish Petition. THE RESULT IS AS YET PROBLEMATION It May Cause a Break in the Friend- ly Relations of the Two Coun- tries, But the Risk Has to be Taken in View of the Righteous ness of the Cause. Washington, June 26.—The pres- ident has decided to transmit to the Russian government the petition pro- sented to him by the executive con- cil of the BNai B'Rith regard- ing treatment of Jews in Russia. This action has been taken she mature consideration. At first it was decided that the petition should be presented, because it might be sent by the Russian government to lead to a response that might cause a break in the relations of the two countries. However the first condition has been reconsidered, and a direction of the president the petition will now go forward. What the suit will be is problematical. Secretary Hay's Note. Department of State, Washington June 24.—Dear Sir—The presi- den has concluded to transmit to the hessian government the petition which you presented him a draite the 15th of this month. The ma- which he had to consider most ously was whether or not such a ceeding would be to the advantage your persecution and outraged con- ligionists in Russia. On this point has decided to accept your opi- and that of the numerous and in- ligent groups of American citiz- the Jewish faith whom you rep- sent. He requests that you will him the petition in due form at you earliest convenience. Of course you will understand that the presi- can not tell you what reception petition will meet with at the ha- of the Russian government. "I am, sir, faithfully yours." "JOHN HAY "Hon. Simon Wolf, Washington, C." The petition which will be transmitted to the Russian government the one which the executive council of the B'nai B'Rith handed to a president as a tentative document be signed by leading citizens of United States outside of federal fice holders. It is expected that will take about two weeks to see these signatures, work along line already being in progress. Upon learning that the government of the United States had decided forward the petition to the Russian government Count Cassius went the state department and consult with Secretary Hay. The call of the ambassador is shorter than usual, but it develops officially the fact that the government of the United States intends to ward the Jewish petition to the court if it is possible to do so. At the White House conference on the instant the Jews had made the point that the czar was kept from a knowledge of the truth as to the condition of the Jews in his empire by the reacreators who hedged him about all sides, and they were sure that the president would only assist them in laying their case before the czar himself, he would at once adopt measures to alleviate their condition. The president at that hearing promised do what he could. It was at once perceived that to do what was asked involved the danger of a short reprieve and a disposition developed to rearrange the publicity which had been en to the White House conference as sufficient to meet the case; for it was assumed that czar could not fail to see some of the news subject. The Jews, however, were satisfied with this passive attitude and the president decided to arrest the bold course of sending their petition directly to the czar through the United States embassy at St. Petersburg. Officially it is expected that this will be received, but privately may be stated that there have no lack of intimations from informal sources that the czar will never be permitted to see the petition, as the Russian prime minister will not receive it for transmission. In fact it is realized that the Russian situation is still correctly described in the statement telegraphed from Washington on June 9, from which this extract taken: "Nor will it be possible to Russia to receive any representation regarding the Kischinei incident from a foreign power. The Russian government takes the same position as that long held by the American government, namely, that it refuses from interference in the internal fairs of another power and must sist on similar treatment for liberals. Should there be a refusal on the part of the Russian government to receive the Jewish petition, then upon Mr. Riddle, the United States states of the embassy at St. Petersburg, will fall the mortification, for Ambassador McCormick has not yet returned to his post from his hasty visit to the cago and it is entirely possible that what happens at St. Petersburg was Mr. Riddle undertakes his disagreeble task may delay the ambassador's return to St. Petersburg indefinitely. Of course, in such case, Count Cassini, who is sailing a week from today for Russia, might make a correspondingly long stay at home. n stands. in the weedy lap of a wall, and dim. to the willow melt in the velvet of willow an ew and ash. bank to the westward of violet force flung wide, as a rose-leaf might force north low sun stains, as a rose-leaf might mass's side. door swings slack, and the moss and moss its under edge beffringe; potato and buckwheat vines have tangible and buckwheat vines have tangled its one lone hinge. and her and the doilocks push through riffs in the cabin floor, which have built in the chimney where, where the blaze shall dance so more. is the trail of a ruined fence, a field's forsaken sweep, its mutilion spikes, its furrow furrows deep of bain and moneywort and rivers of grassy mist, with the scarlet milkweed bloom and thistles amethyst. who was he who tilled the field when the furrowed lines were new, down through the dewey green ar- ches the singing corn-leaves blow? the careful, busy hand that wood the woodier bow-wire with its soft rosettes of flame? crest-fragrant breezes sigh through the cabin bare and lone. 10 tale of the soljourners its tale have known huggy walls have known. that dance to the call of grass with autumn's frosts grow need of time spins swiftly on, but here is a broken thread. and cold the dew and mist brush over my face like spray, out of the hollow's damp and gloom I ask my homeward way. utter of moonlight falls across the mouth and cabin door, seems of night blow in through the idly gaping door. the Whitney, in Youth's Companion.

He decided to the "West End"—the breathing of the Southern metropolis, because the most congenial place to operations. The "West End" master of hotels, fringing the beaches on the south shore of Pontochattrain, and serves as the aristocratic Coney Island to Orleans. Mr. Seymour found it with rows of electric lights, of orchestras and bands were using their harmonies with the tour of the pleasure-seeking man. So Seymour," heavy set man, with his face by a cavernous grin, pushed through a crowd and slapped Bernard Seymour on the floor. So you little ferret, what are you living in New Orleans?" what I said—sir! Will you drink, sir?" sir. Now I understand you," Mr. Seymour. "Well, you old I did not know you were here. What are you doing? are you doing?" thing and nobody," said Mr. Bender. Mr. Bender was a newsman, whose natural ability was used by habits more congenial regular. An excellent writer, from held a position more than months. He was the journalis- type of the tramp printer. against it, eh?" asked Sey- "I surely am up against it good and hard." Dick Bender tossed off a big drink, and grinned as if his hard luck were something to be contemplated with joy. "You don't drink enough, Dick," said Seymour. "You are a social recluse. Your abstinence has become a matter of common gossip. You should thaw out once in a while and become a mixer." "Never mind my failings. Answer me some questions," said Mr. Bender, resting his foot on the rail, and swinging his arm in an easy position across the mahogany. "What are you doing in New Orleans?" "None of your business." "True, but not to the point. I know what you are doing. You are on the kidnapped millionaire case." "Some one must have told you. The witness refuses to commit himself. Will you have another drink?" They had several. Under their influence Seymour told Dick Bender his mission, but was too discreet to reveal any information which had been received from New York. He invited Mr. Bender to take dinner with him, and that gentleman was too polite to refuse. When Mr. Seymour awoke the following afternoon he was in a narrow bunk, which seemed to rise and fall as to the heave of a ship. He ascribed this to natural causes and went to sleep. When he again awoke it was dark. For a moment he lay quiet. To his ears came the splash of waters and the groaning and muttering of a ship. By the smoky light of a lantern he found his clothes scattered on the floor. He put them on as fast as possible, but the operation was delayed by the swaying of the room. The heavy breathing of a sleeper in an opposite bunk seemed to beat time to the motion of the ship. Seymour opened the curtains and peered in. It was Mr. Dick Bender. Seymour shook him savagely. "Wake up, Bender!" he said as he clawed the sleeper around the bunk. "Wake up! We are kidnapped by pirates!" Bender opened his eyes, blinked, groaned, and dropped back into an untroubled sleep. Seymour again aroused him. "We are kidnapped, I tell you!" he said in a hoarse whisper. "Wake up, and prepare to die like a man!" "Forget it!" said Mr. Bender, and he again closed his eyes. But Seymour was persistent, and finally succeeded in arousing the drowsy Bender. While he was dressing, the door opened and a broad-shouldered sailor stepped into the apartment. Seymour looked for a weapon, but there was none in sight. The man surveyed them calmly for a moment and said: "I thought I would come and wake you-all up. When you gets on your togs, come on deck. You must be hungry by this time." Seymour looked at him doubtfully. "Who are you?" he asked. "First mate," said the man. "First mate of what? You don't look like a pirate." The man laughed with a chuckle which rumbled from the depths of a massive chest. "Guess you gents is a bit mixed," he said. "Forgotten me, hev ye? I'm first mate of the schooner 'Sam Walker.' You knew me last night all right." "You have slipped my memory since," said Seymour. "Where are we, and where are we supposed to be going?" "Come on deck," said the first mate. "It is hot below. Come on deck and meet Captain Parker. Probly you know him better," and the sailor opened the door and went away. "Well, what do you think of this?" said Seymour as he sat down on the edge of the bunk to collect his thoughts. "Do you know anything about it, Bender?" "Not a thing?" said that gentleman. "I remember meeting some sailor men somewhere. That's all." They stumbled through a passageway and up a narrow flight of stairs. a draught of fresh night air struck their faces and was delightfully cool and refreshing. The outline of a short, stocky seaman, with a gleam of gold braid on shoulders and cap, was silhouetted at the head of the winding stairs. He stepped forward as Seymour and Bender came in sight. "Haouw de ye dew, Mr. Seymour?" he said, extending a large, freckled hand, which Mr. Seymour grasped rather cautiously. "Haouw air ye, Mister Bender? Did ye sleep sound?" "I should say we did," said Seymour, reassured by the cordiality of the greeting and by the honest face of the Yankee skipper. "We are a bit mixed about this voyage, Captain. How did we come aboard, and where are we headed for?" "I reckon you boys war a bit slewed up last night, or rather this mornin'," said Captain Parker. "Ain't ye hungry? I reckon so. Ther cook has somethin' ready for ye. Come on and eat it while it's good and hot, and I will tell ye all about it." They went into the little cabin. The darkey cook appeared with a steaming dish of steak, some hot corn bread, baked potatoes, coffee and vegetables. The voyagers fell upon the savory spread with avidity. After eating a few minutes Seymour said to the captain: "Kindly explain to us how we happen to enjoy your hospitality on the good ship 'Som Walker.'" It was a long story, but the essence of it was that Bill Howe, the first mate of the "Sam Walker," was on shore leave, and at an early hour had met the convivial Seymour and Bender. They bad declared the sail or the best fellow in the world, and would not listen to his departure. "You and Bill have in sight about six o'clock this mornin'," said Capt. Parker, as he passed the steak to Seymour for the third time. "Of course, I seen that ye was a bit under the weather, but ye talked all square and fair, sayin' ye wanted to take a cruise, and when I said the 'Sam Walker' wuz goin' to Havana, you said that wuz the place ye wanted ter go tew. So you paid me the money for passage for both of ye, and we cast off and headed out inter the Gulf ecoub eight o'clock this e mornin'. Ye fooled aroun' awhile, clum out on their bowerpirit, did various monkeyshines, and then went below. That's all that is tew it," and Capt. Parker laughed with a vigor hearty and pleasing. "From early childhood I have longed to go to Havana," said Mr. Seymour. "Why I should select this special time is not readily apparent, but it is well. Cheer up, Bender! Once again an aqueous toast to Capt. Parker and his gallant crew." Having done ample justice to the food before them, the voyagers followed Capt. Parker to the deck of the vessel. The "Sam Walker" was a large, three-masted schooner. They found seats on the after deck. A big Swede stood at the wheel, and lazily revolved it as the fresh breeze came in irregular gusts from the southwest. The air was fragrant with the odor of newly-sawed lumber, and Seymour noticed, for the first time, that the decks between the masts were piled high with timber. "Hev a seegar," said Capt. Parker, passing a box to Mr. Seymour. "I kin afford to be generous, seein' as how you bought 'em. You gave me twenty dollars and told me to buy the best thar was; and I reckon you'll find them all right." "You seem to be in the lumber trade," said Seymour, as he took a cigar and passed the box to Dick Render. "Yes, I haul a right smart of lumber an' stuff in the course of a year," said Capt. Parker. Like all New England Yankees who live in southern states, his dialect was a mixture of northern and southern idioms. "You must know some contractors," said Seymour. Though his field of detective endeavor was limited to the area of a "lumber hooker," on the broad expanse of the Gulf of Mexico, the newspaper instinct was strong within him. "Reckon I know erbaout all their contractors in an' 'round New Or- "LET'S SEE; WHAT IN THUNDER WAS HIS NAME?" leans," said Capt. Parker, with some pride. "The 'Sam Walker' has carried many a batch of timber up an' down these here coasts." "Did you ever carry any lumber for a man named Walter B. Hestor?" asked Seymour. "Talk about your thousand to one shots," he said to himself, "this certainly is one of them." "Hestor?" said Capt. Parker reflectively. "Hestor? Thar ain't no contractor by that name that I ever heen on." "He is not a contractor," explained Seymour. "He is a New York millionaire, whom I know very well. He built a house on some island in the West Indies a year or so ago." "What sort of a man wuz he?" asked Capt. Parker. "What did he dew?" "He did newspaper work for fun," said Seymour. "He had lots of money, and went all over the world looking for good stories." "Did he own a yacht—a steam yacht?" "Yes," answered Seymour, leaning forward in his excitement. "Say, Bill!" The first mate was talking with the Swede wheelsman. He stepped over and joined the group when Capt. Parker called him. "What wuz ther name of that dude who owned the 'Shark'?" he asked. "You know who I mean. The one that Col. McIntyre built that alr house for." Seymour dropped his cigar. The temptation to yell almost overwhelmed him. "Let's see; what in thunder was his name?" said the big sailor, removing his cap and running his hand through a mass of red hair. "Something like Hanson or Hampton. That ain't it. There was an 's' in it. He was an odd sort of a fish. Raising hell all the time. Let's see Hisser, Hissor, Histor. Hestor—that's it. I knew dummed well I could think of it. He had the steam yacht 'Shark,' and a quiet sort of a chap named Waters was her captain. Mighty fine boat, the 'Shark!' Run like thunder and lightnin! Why? What about him?" Seymour gave Bender a violent kick on the shin. "Nothin'. This here gentleman was askin' erbout him." said Capt. Parker. "Hestor is an old friend of mine," explained Seymour. "Where is the Col. McIntyre you spoke of? Is he a New Orleans contractor?" "He used ter be," said Capt. Parker. "He has moved ter Havana. This here load of lumber is fer him. He's buildin' a new hotel in Havana." "Is he in Havana now?" "Suppose so," said the captain. "Guess he'll be daunten ter the dock ter see us come in. He's in er mighty big burry erbaout this 'ere bunch of lumber. Bin' telegraphin' and raisin' blazes cebau it." Seymour changed the subject. He was so elated that he felt like climbing the shrouds, and yelling like a Comanche Indian. The one thing which worried him was whether or not he had told Bender anything about Hestor during the preceding evening. The look of palned surprise on Bender's face, when his ankle felt the impact of Seymour's foot, was evidence that he knew nothing of Hestor or his complicity in the millionaire mystery. Seymour vented his joy and concealed his triumph in song. The temptation to celebrate in drink was strong, but his repentance was sincere and his determination to reform was earnest. So he sang. As a vocalist, Mr. Seymour was handcapped by the circumstance that he knew neither the words nor the tune to any song. What he lacked in technique was recompensed in energy. His first effort, as expressed in words, was about as follows: "Yo hq, my lads, the wind blows free; A pleasant gale is on the se-a-a, And here we rume de te tum, Relea de tum." And 'ere we part From England's shore to-night. to-night. A song we'll sing to home da rumty dight Then here's to the sailor.

Sailing, sailing, der rumity, dum de dain, And many a stormy wind shall blo-o-o-o-o-w 'Ere Jack comes ho-o-me a-a-a-again'" The negro cook stood in the companion-way and joined in the chorus with a deep baritone, which did much to neutralize the rather harsh tenor of the eager Seymour, and the uncertain bass of Mr. Dick Bender. Capt. Parker did not sing, but was liberal in his applause. [To Be Continued.] Maj. Shattuck of the signal corps tells an amusing story of an old-time "religious revival" meeting at a negro church near Savannah. In order that the revival spirit might be quickened it was arranged that the preacher should give a signal when he thought the excitement was highest, and from the attic, through a hole cut in the ceiling directly over the pulpit, the sexton was to shove down a pure white dove, whose flight around the church and over the heads of the audience was expected to have an inspiring effect, and as far as emotional excitement was concerned, to cap the climax. All went well at the start; the church was packed; the preacher's text was "In the form of a dove," and as he piled up his eloquent periods the excitement was strong. Then the opportune moment arrived—the signal was given—and the packed audience was scared out of its wits on looking up to the ceiling and beholding a cat, with a clothes line around its middle, yowling and spitting, being slowly lowered over the preacher's head. The preacher called out to the sexton in the attic: "Whar's de dove?" And the sexton's voice came down through the opening so you could hear it a block: "Inside de cat!" — Chicago Daily News. How Jacques Tissot Painted. An interesting story is told of Jacques Tissot, the great French painter, lately deceased. While in England he painted a beautiful religious picture and, meeting a countrywoman, asked her opinion of his work. "It's a chef d'oeuvre," she replied, giving a remarkably just and detailed appreciation of the various merits of the painting. "Are you satisfied?" asked a friend. Tissot answered in the negative. He entirely repainted his picture, working night and day. When finished he sent for his fair critic, who pronounced it "admirable," and remained silently admiring it with smiling criticism. "Are you satisfied?" asked the friend again when the lady departed. "No," answered the artist, and set to work for the third time. When the Parisienne saw the new painting she gazed at it for some moments with evident emotion, and then without a word sank softly to her knees and began to pray. "Are you satisfied now?" whispered the friend. And Tissot said. "Yes." Couldn't Get Hang of It. Bridget and Norah Murply, fresh from the mosquitoes of Ellis Island, had set out to make their "return calls" on their cousins, the McGoilgans, at service in an aristocratic part of the city. Upon arriving at the house, instead of being confronted by the usual bell knob, nothing but a stingy, mean apoogy of a knob in the shape of a little black button met them. Bridget got hold of the button and gave it a pull, but her fingers slipped before there was any audible ring from within. Again and again she tried with the same result, until she turned the knob over to "Nonie." Then the latter yanked and twisted without success, until both stood on the landing gazing helplessly at each other. Then light came to Bridget. "I'll tell you phwat it is," she said. "They're playing th' joke on us 'for greenhorns an' th' divils are within houldin' th' sthring!" ELECTRIFIED LAMP CHIMNEY A VERY simple but beautiful experiment may be made by any bright boy with a straight lamp chimney, the kind used with the Argand or the Welsbach gaslight. First cut a narrow strip of tin-foil and paste it around the chimney, in the middle. Then paste a strip of the same from one end of the chimney to within about half an inch of the band in the middle. Now take a bristle brush, the kind made to clean lamp chimneys with and over its bristles wrap a perfectly dry silk handkerchief. Hold the chimney in your left hand so that your fingers do not touch the tin-foil anywhere, and putting the silk-covered brush into the chimney, rub it briskly back and forth. This part of the experiment should be made in the dark, and if, while rubbing the chimney, you take the brush out now and then, you will see, every time you do so, a big spark of electricity jump from one piece of tinfoil to the other. In other words, the friction made by the rubbing has turned the lamp chimney into an electrical machine. Another pretty experiment, says the Brooklyn Eagle, may be made with this little device. Wrap a piece of iron or brass wire around the middle band of tin-foil, letting one end hang down five or six inches. To this end attach several strips of cigarette paper in a bunch. Now put the brush into the chimney at the opposite end to that used at first and rub it briskly. The electricity thus generated will go into the strips of paper, and make them stand out from each other as if they were alive and struggling to get as far apart as possible. If the paper be cut out to form two cats, the result will be very interesting and appealing. These experiments are best made in perfectly dry weather, and it is well also, to warm both chimney and handkerchief at the fire. For Young People I would tend it with care, and give it fresh air And dolly said: "Oh, I can't take them—no!" I swallowed them all myself. For you know, of course, I could never use force. So I'd swallow them all myself. I wapped up its each nite ene. And smiling to see with what vigor and glee I am skipping and singing myself. The unselfish and good and wise mother should Do the skipping and singing herself. -Ethewlyn Wetheral, in Youth's Compan- jon. WATCHING THE HERRING. They Certainly Are the Queercest of Fish in Their Dislike of Cold and Cloudy Weather. I had been watching the herring for an hour or more as they struggled through the sluice to the dam. The fall of the water over the gates was unusually heavy that day, as was also the run of herring. For a wk they had been straggling in from the sea, but to-day they poured in by thousands. The stream was clogged. Something — their increased numbers and greater rivalry, perhaps—had GOING UP THE STREAM. noticeably excited the fish. They seemed electric with it: Perhaps this school had been delayed by the cold April weather, and now must reach the pond to lay their eggs and were in a hurry. Whatever the cause they certainly seemed to be in a hurry, for I had never seen them scramble over the shoals and over one another in quite this rush before. The unusual excitement was less manifest in their mid rush upstream than in their still mudder rush at the falls. On any running day a few of the stronger, bolder fish, finding their way barred by a four-foot dam, try to climb over through the down-pouring sheet of water. The vast majority, however—not unlike, I suppose, the ELECTRIFIED majority of men—coming to the impossible barrier, stop in the easy pen built for them beneath the falls, and are content to be scooped out, for pickling and fishbait, most of them, though a few are carried up in barrels to the spawning-ponds. But to-day it was different. Instead of the usual few there were many fighting to get over. I had watched them time and time again, but had never seen one pass the four feet of sheer falling water. In Wild Life Near Home. I have described how they would dart through the foam into the great sheet of water, strike it like an arrow, rise straight up through it, hang an instant in midfall, and be hurled back and killed, often, on the rocks beneath. To-day I felt a new thrill as I watched them. Something of the evident excitement among the fish possessed me. I somehow knew that, as the horsemen put it: "The track was faster today"—that the swimmers were on their mettle, that a record would be broken. The falls were all a-flash and a-glitter with the daring fishes. Not only was there a great number in the contest; there was also a much higher average jump than usual. Over and over again one would get within half a foot of the lip of the gate. Soon I noticed that it seemed to be a certain fish that made this highest mark. I followed her as she fell back, and, though it was impossible through the foam and thick rush of other forms to keep her in sight, yet I am sure that each time she rose it was with a peculiar bound showing a particularly long, lithe body. And each time she fell, peculiar good luck attended, or else it was that her superior sense and training served her, for each time she landed just between or just beyond the rocks. Again she flashed through the foam and hung, fixed like a silver arrow in the dark water just below the edge. Again she fell. I was excited. Flash! flash! flash! a score of the shining ones shot into the falls, when over them, above them, flashed the long, lithe form of the winner, striking one of the weaker rivals beneath her just as she reached her highest mark, and bounding sidewise from her, glanced over the dam and was gone. The record was broken, and within five minutes, by the same curious hap, another turned her silver side over the great hurdle and dived into the quiet pool beyond. It is a rather paradoxical state of things that creatures like these fish hate cloudy, cold weather and rain and will not leave the ocean willingly for the shallow fresh waters unless the sun shines and the wind suits and the temperature is to their liking. There is some reason for the chickens' staying in when it rains; but what need have herrings of umbrellas?—Dallas Love Sharp, in St. Nicholas.

These experienced gentlemen now 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. Headquarters for the National Grand Lodge are located at 2349 Chestnut street.

Mr. Robert Johnson, of 209 South Fifteenth street, was born in 1815; therefore, was a slave 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 sells the St. Louis Palladium, and if you wish to help him, you can do so.

Address, WOMAN INDI HOME How Two Chicago Sisters Who Had to Earn Their Own Living Made Both Ends Meet. Among the lucrative and very private sources of income discovered by breadwinning women none has proved more interesting and profitable than that of dainty laundry work. Two women, sisters, who occupied a tiny apartment and found themselves suddenly obliged to earn their own support, discovered to their dismay that their only remarkable talent was a profound knowledge of the high art of clear starching, lace cleaning and fine ironing. Even this accomplishment didn't look exactly valuable until a well-to-do friend volunteered to send them all the exceedingly fine laundry work that their hands could do and their kitchen could accommodate. The sisters agreed to make the experiment, and the first week from her own wardrobe and that of a few interested intimates the helpful friend sent them five dozen very fine handkerchiefs, a dozen or two sets of sheer lawn and lace cuffs and collar bands, and a set of rarely beautiful doilies. The laundry ladies took the stock under consideration, boiled, blued, starched and ironed the articles, and were surprised at the profits of the week's work. At the end of three months their fame had spread far and flatteringly in aristocratic circles. Not only were they overtaxed with orders, but they were able to raise their prices and employ a couple of assistants to do the heavy labor and a boy with a pushcart to gather up and deliver the orders. With handkerchiefs, lace collars, cuffs, doilies and small pieces of extra fine underwear they also admitted babies' clothes until now their very exclusive little establishment is known best as the Babies' Laundry. No expert French or Swiss cleaners can starch or iron caps and bibs, petieoats and fine white dresses, as do these two American spinsters, who are now busy training a couple of good country girls to follow in their footsteps and devote artistic thought and care to the get-up of the dainty garments. These genuine wash ladies have now been practicing their new-found profession for a full year. They have discovered that it not only suffices to support them in comfort, but at present temps them to expand their very modest plant into larger quarters, where they will be able to reap eventually the really ample profits that are waiting them in this purely feminine enterprise.-Chicago Inter Ocean. OLD MEXICAN VASE. The Most Magnificent Specimen of Ancient American Ceramics So Far Discovered. Among the strange and valuable objects which have been recently installed in the Mexican hall of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, of which Mr. Marshall H. Saville is curator, is a wonderful terra cotta jar, designed and decorated in imitation of a turkey. This is considered the most magnificent specimen of ancient American ceramies so far discovered. Besides the striking and artistic turkey head handle, the most extraor- AN ANCIENT AMERICAN VASE. binary feature of the jar is its ornamentation of solid gold leaf, with which it was profusely decorated in former times, many layers of which still remain on the jar. It is considered to be a priceless example, illustrating the culture and workmanship of that mysterious civilization which flourished a thousand years ago in Mexico. The jar is thought to have been a funeral or votive offering, says the New York Herald, which was one of the essential mortuary rites of the people of that time. Its age cannot be accurately stated, but it probably reaches back for a thousand years or more. It was found by Carl Lumholtz during one of his exploring expeditions. It came to light while digging in a private garden in the City of Tepic, which had evidently been in remote times the site of some temple or wealthy burial place. Two skeletons were uncarted. Around the neck of one were found 25 balls of solid gold, also a large breastplate ornament of gold. SERVANT GIRL PROBLEM. It Is a Subject in Which the Rosso- wives of Every Civilized Country Are Deeply Interested. The servant girl question, while "settled" time and time again upon paper, is still a very live issue among those who are most vitally interested—the housewives of the country. In America it is said that the lack of good help at reasonable wages is the cause for so many people living in flats and hotels, and there is no immediate prospect of a change in this direction, as good domestic servants are becoming more and more difficult to obtain. In view of this fact, it is interesting to look at the question as it is handled in other lands. Great Britain claims to be the best country in the world for good servants, from both points of view. A leading English journal states that "England's greatest industry is domestic service." The statement sounds untrue, and yet the returns of the board of trade RUSSIAN MAIDS ARE HUMBLE. vouch for 1,700,000 female domestic servants in England and Wales, as against 1,400,000 men engaged in mining, while farming lags far behind and the rest of the trades are nowhere. And there is no fuss. All the scrubbing of floors, cooking of meals and making of beds are done without any of the banners, processions, oratory, strikes or lockouts of other employments. The "servant problem" vexes the soul of many an English housewife, but to learn the value of the British domestic one must go abroad. In the households of the czarina of Russia, the German empress, the queen of Sweden and Norway and the young Queen Helena of Italy, the English nursery governess is a power behind the throne, and pretty nearly every reigning sovereign of Europe seems to have been nursed and taught by an English maid before he passed on to the throne. But with all the foreign demand for English maids, there are conditions in many countries from which the most daring would shrink. Even a downtrodden "stop-gap" would not go to France at the French wages of £5 a year for the good domestic or the fourpence an hour of the visiting maid, who corresponds in Paris with our Saturday charwoman. The French maid is very clever, and if she can get permission to pay the weekly bills, collects five per cent, commission from all the tradesmen. But English wages would seem to her a fortune. Only in wealthy households has she a chance to get plump. Rural England scarcely knows such tragic poverty as that which drives women from many parts of Europe to abandon their own children and seek employment as nursemaids in the cities. The mountain women of the Pyrenees have a monopoly of nursing the children of the rich in Madrid, the girls from the valley of the Spree supply the like want in Berlin, and Breton or Norman women are the nurses of Paris, while Montenegrin peasants swarm to Rome. In Paris one may know the nursemaid's prosperity by the length and splendor of her cap ribbons, trailing to the heels, and in the other capitals they wear beautiful peasant costumes. These "costume nurses," however they may have suffered by the wrench which tore them from their native districts, have a very good time in service. By doctor's orders the "nurse" must not be crossed or contradicted, so rules both her mistress and the household with iron rigor, making herself as disagreeable as she pleases. She adopts the children, who are barred by etiquette from knowing their own mother except as a visiting stranger. The quaintest of all domestic service is in Russia, where the peasants have only lately been released from slavery, and for fear of starvation in winter flock to the houses of the nobles, where they smash the crockery in grateful return for mere board and lodging. The Russian lady, always merciful to the poor, finds her house overrun by useless but humble retainers with swarms of children, and when she hopes to rest there is sure to be a forlorn maid scratching the door like a little rat because she dare not knock. To stop the scratching she is admitted, then, falling on her knees, kisses the foot of the mistress, pleading with tears that she did not know it was wrong to boil potatoes in a silver dish. As to the upper servants, they march into the most private rooms, disclining to knock at the door, and, if a guest is dressing, the maid thinks nothing of taking a short ent through the room rather than go 'round by the passage. If the guest is displeased they will abjectly kiss his hands, wondering what on earth has put him out of his temper.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. FOR SUNDAY READING SHALL MAN LIVE AGAIN? Some mortals say there is no god, that man is like a tree, he dies and is no more; And like a tree or like a flower that dies And then decays, so perishes the race. Ah, no! it cannot be. I cannot think The soul of man can perish like the tree. No game of chance or work of evolution Created man to reason and to dream. To rule the earth, to till the soil, to make All nature subject to his wish and will; That gave him skill to sail the mighty seas. To make the powers of nature serve his will; That gave him love for music and for art. For book and song and nature's hidden lore. The indel. Litter him, the man. The intidel, I pity him, the man Who has no hope of life beyond the world, Who has hope of life beyond the grave and tomb, Who hopes this earth without the hope of life Beyond the grave? Sad, if I had no hope To meet with those I love, beyond the grave. But I believe in Him who said, "I go unto Father's house, there to prepare A place for you, a home where ye may dwell With Me, my brethren, in the holy land." So I shall live with hope that I may see The glory of the Lord who died for us, Who wore the crown of thorns and perished on the cross, Rose from the dead, returned to dwell in Heaven -A M. Nebig, in United Presbyterian. PRAISE AND BLAME. In Good Deeds as in Bad One Can Become an "Accessory After the Fact." Even cynics have their moments of wisdom. La Rochefoucauld, the cautie French witch whose epigrams are like drops of corroding acid, had such a moment when he wrote: "To praise a good action with all one's heart is to participate in it." That little saying outweighs a hundred of his satirical maxims, and remains as true as when he wrote it in that brilliant court of Louis XIV, whose every courtier was an adept in sneering and backbiting, and honest praise was a rarity. It is a saying which commands attention just because it did not come from a gentle and benevolent writer, but from a keen, satirical man of the world. Perhaps he wrote it out of a sudden disgust at his own attitude, and a sudden glimpse of his own mistakes; and those of us who have gone even a little way on the road of criticism and blame will do well to consider it too. To be good means to love goodness. The better we are, the more we love goodness. A true or brave action thrills us with real joy. We praise the doer warmly because we are with him in spirit, and so we have a real fellowship and participation. In criminal law the "accessory with the fact" is counted guilty along with the actual criminal. When we applaud a good action, says Philadelphia Young People, we become in like manner, "accessories after the fact," in righteousness—for it is a poor rule that does not work both ways. It is impossible to praise a righteous deed sincerely and warmly unless we have some root of righteousness in our own heart. We can measure our own integrity by the pleasure we take in the truth and nobility of others. We can judge of our own progress in grace by the joy we feel in seeing the progress of our fellow disciples. Judged by this test, where would some of us be? Too many young people thing it a mark of superior goodness to criticise others. They praise coldly; they blame with all their heart. "Yes—but," is their favorite conversational opening. They may be moral and correct; but the heart of goodness is not in them. The power to praise is one of the signs of a holy soul. The true saint finds goodness everywhere, loves the capabilities of good in every sinner, and rejoices in the truth, wherever found. To read the Epistle of St. Paul is to marvel at the love and insight that made the apostle rejoice over such seemingly unworthy converts and find something to praise even after strong rebuke. No wonder that he won them, and led them out of their sins to holy lives and martyr's deaths. For if we would win others, we must learn the power of praise. Flattery is a thing to be abhorred, just because it is a lying imitation of so noble a thing as sincere praise. Some of us are afraid to praise for fear of being mistaken for flatterers. There is no danger of that, if our words come from the heart. And it may be that by our honest praise, we shall encourage our fellows to more and higher deeds of good. If we do this, we shall truly have part in the good that follows. To go through life praising as much as possible, and blaming as little as possible, is a rule that few set before themselves; but it is a rule always blessed in the observance. Making Small Calibers Effective. Small caliber is no longer a reproach. It used to mean only a popgun, now it means the most effective army rifles. Science has discovered that, if you put high power behind, you can do the most efficient work with the caliber of guns that was once used in boys' playthings. It is a good lesson for Christians. It is not so much largeness of place or fortune or opportunity that counts; it is putting the divine power behind our work. We may be of distinctly small caliber in many ways, and know ourselves to be so, but if we will only take of God, who giveth to all men liberally and withholdeth not, we shall not find our caliber any hindrance; we can be greatly efficient in our lives. There is no place too small to do God's work if we let God's power work through us in that place. —S. S. Times. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Avoid the Many Subtle Ways by Which People Edge Off Their Burdens Upon Other Shoulders. Note the sense of personal responsibility as it is affected by business and domestic life, says Rev. W. L. Watkinson. There are many ways, subtitle ways, in which we edge off our burdens upon shoulders seen and unseen. In our business life let us realize our obligation. We live in a day of companies and syndicates, of unions and cooperative societies, and there is danger lest we leave our responsibility with these. As workmen let each do his duty; do not lose yourself in a crowd, but ever work as in the great Taskmaster's eye. In domestic life realize individual responsibility. Let the husband do this. In Italy you repeatedly see a man and woman walking-side by side, the woman carrying on her head the burden, sometimes a burden like a grindstone. Do you say: Let us be thankful that we never see anything like that in England? There are other burdens than material burdens, burdens carried on a weared mind, on a sore heart, and many a wife droops under a load in which her companion fails to take a fair share. Let the wife realize her responsibility. To-day many women are thrust into public life, they must trust to their own resources, they must look after themselves or go under and this sense of responsibility gives them strength of character. Let the wife in the sheltered home and with the helpful husband, take care that she does not suffer any enfeebling of character; she, too, has immense, delicate responsibilities which cannot be ignored without the most serious detriment. And let the children be ready to assume responsibility and look after themselves when the time comes. They are of little worth unless they do. They are made by responsibility. They must one of these days leap overboard, sink or swim; we hope that they will swim, but anyway they must take the great leap. Respect your individuality. It is : good thing to recall that we stand alone, that we are insulated from all our fellows, that each of us stands out distinctly before God as if there were not another being on the planet. Realize this constantly. Do not confound yourself with other people, do not lean upon other people, stand on your feet. We saw an article the other day in which the writer insisted that roses ought to be grown on their own roots; he said such roses were stronger and safer and that they thus came to the utmost perfection of their splendid nature. It is the same with men. Keep on defining your individuality, hold personal fellowship with God, grow on your own roots grow for eternity. Realize your responsibility. Never attempt to limit it or to escape it; it is your glory, it alone distinguishes you from things and brutes. We may not put our burden on our brother, but we may lean on God. He knows us personally. He does not know the ocean only, but the drop; not the Milky Way, but the star; not the meadow, but the flower; not the mass, but the atom; not the million, but the man. He knows your name, your street, your number, your trade. He knows you and knows you altogether. And He can bear your burden. It would crush your neighbor, but it will not crush Him. He can bear it easily as the Atlantic bears a bubble, easily as Mont Blanc a snowflake. Cast "all your care upuhr Him, for He careth for you." GEMS OF THOUGHT. Man is unjust, but God is just; and finally justice triumphs.—Longfellow. Language was given to us that we might say pleasant things to each other.—Boyce. The surest way to multiply our crosses is to cross the straight and narrow way at a right angle.—United Presbyterian. For whoever would be fairer, illumination must begin in the soul. The face catches the glow only from that side.—William C. Gannett. Every true man or woman is a conductor of that mysterious life-giving power of truth and love which we know as the Holy Spirit, because it ever seeks to make holy spirits of us.—Charles G. Ames. You find yourself refreshed by the presence of cheerful people; why not make earnest efforts to confer that pleasure on others? You will find half the battle is gained if you will never allow yourself to say any thing gloomy.-Lydia M. Child. Never he discouraged because good things get on so slowly here; and never fail to do daily that good which lies next to your hand. Do not be in a hurry, but be diligent. Enter into the sublime patience of the Lord.-George MacDonald. I see beginnings in man, no end; wrestling, not achievement; unfolding, not maturity. Still he sighs for light, more light. Upon the borders of the grave he stands and stretches out his hands to infinity and eternity for light, for progress, for new fields resplendent with everlasting light and glory.-Orville Dewey. Unrealized ideals, deliberately or carelessly unrealized, work corruption of the blood, work spiritual degeneration and decay. If you listen with serene approval to praise of virtue, and go hence and do not try and strive to build what you have heard into the structure of your daily lives, into your buying and selling and voting and domestic care, you are worse men and women than if you stayed at home or went off somewhere into the free. J. W. Chadwick. M Mrs. Hughson, of Chicago, whose letter follows, is another woman in high position who owes her health to the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: —I suffered for several years with general weakness and bearing-down pains, caused by womb trouble. My appetite was fitful, and I would lie awake for hours, and could not sleep, until I seemed more weary in the morning than when I retired. After reading one of your advertisements I decided to try the merits of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I am so glad I did. No one can describe the good it did me. I took three bottles faithfully, and besides building up my general health, it drove all disease and poison out of my body, and made me feel as spry and active as a young girl. Mrs. Pinkham's medicines are certainly all they are claimed to be." —Mrs. M. E. HUGHSON, 347 East Ohio St., Chicago, Ill. Mrs. Pinkham Tells How Ordinary Tasks Produce Displacements. Apparently trifling incidents in woman's daily life frequently produce displacements of the womb. A slip on the stairs, lifting during menstruation, standing at a counter, running a sewing machine, or attending to the most ordinary tasks may result in displacement, and a train of serious evils is started. The first indication of such trouble should be the signal for quick action. Don't let the condition become chronic through neglect or a mistaken idea that you can overcome it by exercise or leaving it alone. More than a million women have regained health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If the slightest trouble appears which you do not understand write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., for her advice, and a few timely words from her will show you the right thing to do. This advice costs you nothing, but it may mean life or happiness or both. Mrs. Lelah Stowell, 177 Wellington St., Kingston, Ont., writes: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—You are indeed a godsend to women, and if they all knew what you could do for them, there would be no need of their dragging out miserable lives in agony. "I suffered for years with bearing-down pains, womb trouble, nervousness, and excruciating headache, but a few bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made life look new and promising to me. I am light and happy, and I do not know what sickness is, and I now enjoy the best of health." Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound can always be relied upon to restore health to women who thus suffer. It is a sovereign cure for the worst forms of female complaints,—that bearing-down feeling, weak back, falling and displacement of the womb, inflammation of the ovaries, and all troubles of the uterus or womb. It dissolves and expels tumors from the uterus in the early stage of development, and checks any tendency to cancerous humors. It subdues excitability, nervous prostration, and tones up the entire female system. Its record of cures is the greatest in the world, and should be relied upon with confidence. $5000 FORFEIT if we cannot forthwith produce the original letters and signatures of above testimonials, which will prove their absolute genuineness.

NOTES AND COMMENTS One very notable thing brought out by the study of the early Christian church is the broadening of the thought of the disciples. At first, it will be remembered, the church consisted of Jews and those Gentile proselytes who had fully accepted Judaism. They wanted all the world to become Christians, but thought it necessary that Gentiles should first conform to the rites and teachings of the law of Moses. In spite of this idea, however, the Gospel gradually was extended among the Samaritans, then to occasional devout Gentiles, until the church at Antioch admitted all, though with certain restrictions on the non-judicial adherents. Finally the Gospel was preached and the church opened to all who accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Coincident with the extension in thought was the extension in territory. For a few years the church at Jerusalem was the only Christian church in the world. Then, as persecution scattered the disciples, other churches took root in other parts of Palestine, in Syria, and then in Caesarea, Samaria, Damascus and Antioch. This latter city came in time to be a center of missionary activity, and from there Paul and others made preaching excursions into the towns of Asia Minor, Macedonia, Greece and Italy. It is even probable that the Gospel was carried as far westward as Spain, southward into Ethiopia, and eastward into Assyria, Persia, and possibly India. All this occurred in something over 30 years. Peter preached his great sermon on the day of Pentecost, in A. D. 30. Paul died a prisoner in Rome A. D. 61 or 62. Allowing three years for the public ministry of Jesus Himself, we see what wonderful strides were made all in the life of a single generation, not possibly over 35 years in extent of time. Eight years after the death of Paul Jerusalem was destroyed, and that event saw Christianity a firmly established and growing religion, founded upon the character and teachings of Christ, made strong by the blood of many martyrs. the letter without the fire. Sincerity is the best sermon against hypocrisy. The breadth of our influence depends on the depth of our earnestness. It's no use for a man to pray to his father so long as he preys on his brother. It is easier to know the way we ought to go than to go in the way we know.—Ram's Horn. Shaker Indians. John Slocum, the Shaker Indian, died at his Mud Bay camp the other day. Slocum became famous about five years ago by passing to Heaven through the avenue of a trance, where he remained several days before returning to his mundane sphere. On his return he pictured Heaven in glowing terms to his associates, declaring that lots of Indians are there, and that each had a horse and plenty of salmon. Every Indian at Mud and Oyster bays became his followers, and for the remaining years of his life he wielded a marked influence upon his disciples. Conscious of approaching death, he cast his mantle of leadership upon Dick Jackson, another Indian of the Mud Bay settlement, thus providing for the perpetuation of the Shaker religion.—Portland Oregonian. Spiders Do Harm in Japan. Over in Japan there has been serious difficulty in getting telegrams through a certain district. Not because of bold bandits, who cut wires, or of stupid operators, but all because of busy spiders. Along the wires they weave their delicate web and up and down the poles until all the space between two poles is latticed thick with a wonderful silvery gauze. Then come the night dews and the rains and load the lattice with dampness. And messages flashing electricity along the wires pause at that delicate conductor and run off into the ground, for moisture is an excellent conductor of electricity.—Chicago Record. Reflections of a Bachelor. Babies probably cry about half the time just for fun. No girl likes to kiss other girls unless she is very imaginative. I wonder why, whenever a man talks with a girl he is afraid of, his necktie works up in the back. Probably every man who doesn't act decent to his friends has an idea that he always tries to love his enemies. A woman will cry until her eyes get all red and her nose smuffy and then go and kiss her husband, with the idea that she looks beautiful "smiling through her tears."-N. Y. Press. Mechanic Buried in Westminster. Notwithstanding all that Britain owes to mechanics, there is but one workman who received the highest funeral honors of being buried in Westminster abbey, and that was George Graham, a famous scientific instrument maker of his day, who in 1700 invented the dead-beat escapement in clocks. Graham's obsequies were attended by the Royal society in a body—Chicago Chronicle. The Population of Greece. According to the latest statistics, the population of Greece is increasing more rapidly than that of any other country, namely, at the rate of 1.57 per cent. per annum. Compared with France, which is only 0.42, this increase will, if not checked, constitute a problem which will be as difficult to solve as the reorganization of the Greek finances.—Chicago Chronicle.

It is not generally known that in Prague there exists a goose "bourse," where yearly some a 3,000,000 geese change hands. Its most active time lasts generally from about six to eight weeks, from the middle of September till the first days of November. During this time immense flocks of geese are driven into the suburbs, especially from the districts lying on the right bank of the Weischel. These are then conducted at night over the bridges to the Jewish quarters, the trade being principally in the hands of the Isrealites. As the geese are driven in from long distances they are "shod," that is to say, walked repeatedly over patches of tar mixed with fine sand. This forms a hard crust on the feet of the geese, and they, thus "shod," are able to cover immense distances without fatigue.—Bucharest Rumanische Lloyd. The Lather Yell. Every school, business or otherwise, has to a certain extent imitated college customs, but a genuine novelty in this line has been sprung on the public. The pupils of a barber school in Philadelphia indulged in a little "blow-out" recently, and during the evening some ingenious youth proposed that they should adopt a college yell. The suggestion made a big hit, and after a live discussion a cry was gotten up which suited everyone. Later in the evening pedestrians were startled when a crowd of merry youngsters passed along shouting: 'Rah! 'Rah! 'Rah! We're scalpers, by gum! Haircut, shampoo, shave, bay rum! Next! Next! Next!"--Baltimore Herald. A Cure for Dropsy Sedgwick, Ark., June 22d.—Mr. W. S. Taylor of this place says: "My little boy had Dropsy. Two doctors—the best in this part of the country—told me he would never get better, and to have seen him anyone else would have said they were right. His feet and limbs wore swollen so that he could not walk normally. When he told the doctors told me he would surely die. I stopped giving him their medicine and began giving him Dodd's Kidney Pills. I gave him three pills a day and at the end of eight days the swelling was all gone, but as I wanted to be sure, I kept on with the pills for some time, gradually reducing the quantity, till finally I stopped altogether. Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved my child's life. Before using them he was a helpless invalid in his mother's arms during the night. Now he is a healthy, happy child, running and dancing and singing. I can never express our gratitude. Dodd's Kidney Pills entirely cured our boy after everybody, doctors and all, had given him up to die." A Wide-Spread Vanity In these days there seem to be as many writers as there are readers. The spread of authorship and its egregious pride is the result of a dialogue from the Fiercegerd Biaetters. A guest at a hotel table, reading the bill of fare, says: "Your bill of fare is great!" "I am glad to hear it," replies the head waiter. "I am its author." IN EVERY WALK OF LIFE. A. M. B. People in every walk of life have bad backs—Kidneys go wrong and the back begins to ache. Cure sick kidneys and backache quickly disappears. Read this testimony and learn how it can be done. A. A. Boyce, a farmer living three and a half miles from Trenton, Mo., says: "A severe cold settled in my kidneys and developed so quickly that I was obliged to lay off work on account of the aching in my back and sides. For a time I was unable to walk at all, and every makeshift I tried and all the medicine I took had not the slightest effect. My back continued to grow weaker until I was unfit for anything. Mrs. Boyce noticed Doan's Kidney Pills advertised as a sure-cure for just such conditions and one day when in Trenton she brought a box home from Chas. A. Foster's drug store. I followed the directions carefully when taking them and I must say I was more than surprised and much more gratified to notice the backache disappearing gradually until it finally stopped."

The public is cordially invited. Rev. Alexander, Texas, preached a very interesting sermon for Dr. E. C. Cole at the First Baptist Church last Sunday night at 7:30 p. m. He made a great impression on all present. Mrs. E. B. Cole, Mrs. Sophia Edwards, Mrs. Turner and Mrs. N. Harrison are contemplating giving a moonlight trolly party in the near future in the interest of the First Baptist Church. Dr. W. E. Hamilton, a native of Texas, but a resident of Washington, D. C., passed through the city last Sunday enroute to his former home in Austin, Tex., to be present at the marriage of his two sisters. This is the first time he has been to his old home in ten years.

Congressman Bartholdt, that erratic representative of the Tenth district, still continue to break faith with his friends and emit volumes of enticing, but unproductive air. The Doctor seems to have a penchant for making promises and handing out superfluous air until he has reached a degree of ill-repute in many of his former strongholds; in fact, Mr. Bartholdt is no longer looked upon by representative Republicans as an object worthy of future consideration. It is a fact well-known that when Congressional representatives begin consulting and hob-nobbing with such fan-scented characters as Andy McGrew and W. W. Howard, it is time for honest voters and campaign committees to look about for more stable timber with which to guide the ship of state. In the fall of 1902, during the campaign of that season, a committee of negroes called on Congressman Joy to advise with him concerning fences in his district, but that aristocratic patrician gentlemen told them that he did not need the negro vote of his district, for he intended to go to Congress by a majority of 5.000, and he also advised them to vote for his Democratic opponent, Mr. Hunt. Well, "The proof of the pudding is eating." Joy ate—and there is enough pudding left for Herr Bartholdt. Mr. Bartholdt, 'tis said, is grooming a fellow named Ricker, from God knows where, for Assistant Treasurer at St. Louis. Just who Ricker is and where he comes from no one seems to know. Of one thing, however, the public may be sure, that when the matter is over and the new Treasurer is chosen, Ricker, the victim of "Bartholdtian" genius, will diminish like a snow-ball before an Angust sun. Bartholdt and his brother-in-law, Geo. Beirman, have given the party a raw deal in St. Louis, and the general public seems efficiently aroused as to the necessity of shelving the foreflushing gentleman and his nepotistic inclinations for public good. That "Unjust Steward" in the 16th Chapter of Luke seems to properly fit the present state of Herr Bartholdt. A man is lifted up for the good which he does, and likewise, should he fall, for his deception and unstable qualities. Republican Missouri depends on individual honesty and Republican activity to a man; yes, even more, it depends upon men of strong hearts, not moved by selfish motives or hope of public gain; m n who will stand up for the right at all times and on all occasions. If Mr. Bartholdt does not meet these requirements which are so essential for party advancement, then let us relegate him to a less conspicuous position. More Bartholdtism. It is amusing to note the Herr Doctor's spirit of liberality in offering to give the surplus earnings of the paper the brewers found to be a white elephant on their hands, and which Herr Doctor bought (?), and from which the Republican party need never hope to receive (ein pennig). The Doctor is not one of the giving kind. When St. Louis was stricken by the cyclone and thousands of our citizens rendered homeless, did the Herr Doctor come to the rescue with a contribution? Did he go to the War Department and solicit tents and needed supplies for the sufferers? During the recent floods when numbers of his constituents along the Missouri River bottoms, in St. Louis County, were rendered homeless, did anyone hear of the Herr Doctor giving a contribution? Did he interest himself in any manner in their behalf (?) No; the Doctor is not of the giving kind. The Doctor believes in the theory that it is better to receive than give. Contributions are all right so long as they come the Doctor's way, and we predict the brewers will be compelled to ante up a little stronger for the Doctor on his next round-up, for he will need them good and plenty for the St. Louis Palladium is on his heels with ten thousand loyal negro voters who never forget a friend or forgive an enemy, and we sure have the Doctor on the run. We have no candidate in view, but if the Tenth district Republicans can't improve on this fore-flasher, they had better turn the district over to the Doctor and his family and relatives, whom he has thus far taken very good care of, providing each with an office. There is in this district such timber as Chas. Nagel, Doctor Max Starkloff, Seidon P. Spencer, Judge Zachritz, H. C. Grenner, Judge Wolff, Judge Zimmerman, C. P. Walbridge, Chas F. Joy, who recently moved in the district, Judge Wurdenmen, Judge McElhenny, and a host of other loyal American Republics. The Doctor has certainly outlived his usefulness both as a Congressman and a representative of the brewers. Watch the St. Louis Palladium, for we certainly voice the sentiments of not only every negro voter, but all the Re- THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY THE GRAND SILVER JUBILEE OF METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. Will Begin Sunday, June 21st, and Continue Through Until June 29th. This celebration will mark an important event in the history of Zion Methodism in this city. Just 25 years ago Zion was established west of the Mississippi River, and the entire denomination joins with the local congregation in praising God for what publicans in the district who do not happen to be related to Bartholdt by blood or marriage. "Patronage Brokerage" and Beirmanism must go. When Bartholdt next appears before a convention he will not have "a message from the President." He will have a message from the people. Watch the St. Louis Palladium. U. S. POSTOFFICE.
