Yource has moved from 4010 Finney avenue to 908 North Sixteenth street, where she will be pleased to see her many friends. Banneker school opened with a large attendance, which, considering the inclement weather, was quite an encouragement to the principal. Little Miss Lettie Richardson,of 3116 Rutger street, was baptized on the 6th at St. Paul's chapel. Other young ladies should follow her example. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Lee have moved from 3103 Lawton avenue to 2825 St. Louis avenue, where they will be pleased to receive their many friends. Mrs. Albert Love lost a valuable dog named Jim Corbett. He jumped out of a window after another dog and hung himself. Mr. Love bewailed his loss. Mrs. Sarah Sprague, of 1424 Morgan, is conducting a rooming and boarding house, known as the Palace hotel. Mrs. Sprague is an excellent business woman. From all indications, the janitors are getting the worst of it at the custom house. The position of the head janitor made him think he was the whole show. The Unknown Social club met Tuesday evening, with Mr. J. Jones, 315 South Twenty-second street. Mr. S. Rodgers, president; Mr. A. Bolden, secretary. The Misses Melissa Parram and Ruth Thomas were at the Young Men's Christian association building last Tuesday evening. They looked as sweet as ever. We are informed that a man named Chris Henderson spent a very pleasant time not very far from St. Louis. He had a lady with him. You ought to have seen him! Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Floyd, of 2529 Belleglade avenue, have sent out cards announcing the wedding of their daughter, Miss Edith, to Mr. J. W. McIntyre, Wednesday, September 23, at 3 p. m. ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES.

His text was taken from eighty-first Psalm, 10th verse. Last Sunday was covenant and communion day at Antioch church. Services were well attended. The meeting was blessed spiritually and financially. The Negroes of Jacksonville, Fla. have now in operation a railway system of their own. This shows that the thoughtful and active Negro will never be contented to take a back seat. The B. Y. P. U. will participate in the union meeting next Sunday at 3 p. m., at First Baptist church, and will render a short programme. A. Tillman, vice-president; Miss A. Thomas, secretary.

Cooper, president; Miss L. M. Arnold, secretary. Mr. Inge, the president of the Forum club, returned from his summer vacation.

Hill, who conducts a rooming house at 1426 Chestnut street, is still on the sick list. The house is in charge of her daughter, Miss Annie Hill. Miss Hill is one of First Baptist church's Sunday school teachers and is one of this city's prominent young ladies. Dr. J. E. Perry, who has practiced in Columbia, Mo., for eight years with a flattering success, has recently located in Kansas Sity. The doctor has purchased a house at 1214 Vine street. This he expects to occupy in a very few days. His office is located at 705 East Twelfth street. Office phone, 1211 Grand. Residence phone, 69 East.—Rising Sun. Miss Mary Ross spent a month's vacation in Bolivar, Tenn. Miss Ross is a clerk in the People's Drug store, and during her hours of leisure from the duties incumbent upon her, spends her time taking a kindergarten course. Miss Ross returned to St. Louis much against the wishes of her many admirers in Tennessee, but she probably consoled them with the assurance that she would return sometime in the future. She is the picture of health. We wish her success in her new field of work. M. Prof. Wilhite is working hard to raise his people to a higher standard of morality. He is teaching school near Madison, Ill. He formerly was a member of St. Paul's chapel, and he worked hard for the Sunday school. He is a natural-born educator. C.F. HOLLAND 2643 MARKET Who resides in Brooklyn, or Lovejoy, lives there during the time of high ill., and who did so much for the citi- water. NOTES FROM NEWPORT (WEST MADISON), ILL. Newport passed through another quiet Sabbath, though somewhat marred by crap games in the alleys, as gambling is prohibited in the saloons. Both the Freewill the Missionary Baptist churches were engaged in rallies to-day. Quite a number of visitors from Brooklyn were present and collections were good. One-eyed Pitchfork Tillman, of South Carolina, and Vardaman, Mississippi's nominee for governor, both of whose pigmy souls are internally damned with Negro hating, ought to be sent to the primary school of wisdom's highest degree, to test their abilities to understand true psychology. Through this it might be possible to get it into their thick pates that mind is man, whether the skin of the man be black or white. The new child-labor and compulsory attendance school law of Illinois is excellent. Parents may now be fined for not sending their children to school during the school term in the districts in which they reside. Madison has risen to the dignity of a board of education, now; so it is to be hoped that the board will see that the law is strictly obeyed, just for the sake of the child, who is soon to be held strictly amenable to the eternal mandates of the state. The Booker Washington league of Newport, at its regular meeting, this afternoon, Sunday, September 13, appointed a committee to wait upon the board of education. The board will be requested to enforce the law here in Newport. It is an indescribable shame how ignorant parents actually rob their children by meddling with school processes of which they know absolutely nothing. Most any teacher can and does win and hold the liking of most children if the parents just let the children alone. I have seen children progressing most excellently and rapidly under our teacher, who gives his whole time to them. Then the little one would be taken from school and allowed to run the streets by meanness of the parent. Our teacher here in Newport, in teaching morals and manners, said that no mother or father could make a lady out of their daughter if they permitted her to associate with crap shooters, whisky heads and beer bloaters. That, if a wife of his should permit his daughter so to act, he would brain that wife with a baseball bat; that a mother living in the same house in adultery, beast-like, before her daughter, was not fit to be a mother, and ought to be horsewhipped within an inch of her criminal life. The truth of these statements hit hard so many women thus living in Newport that they found relief only by accusing the teacher of abusing the parents. There is not a single boy or girl in Newport who can or will take the fifth year's work according to the Illinois state course of study. Yet ignorant, vicious and water-brained people, many of whom can not write their names, are running their beer gaps about pupils being "too high in books to be taught in Newport." So without the St. Louis board's knowledge they steal them into the St. Louis schools. (To Be Continued.) The music at the Coliseum on the nigat of the K. of P. prize drill and ball was furnished by Prof. Turner's band. The audience was electrified by the sweet music. As Prof. Turner directed the band he stood before that vast audience as the great Gilmore or Sousa. Prof. Turner is one of the best band directors this city boasts of. Noice to Onward Lodge 17. The members of Onward Lodge No. 17 are requested to meet Monday, September 21, at Masonic hall, to hear the report of delegates from the grand lodge, and also to transact other business. By order of A. L. LEE, W. M. JAMES GRANT, Sec. Promise Made Before "Uncle Peter's" Death to Speak at Grave Is Kept by U. S. District Attorney. Col. D. P. Dyer, United States district attorney, went to Warrenton, Mo., and spoke at the graveside of Peter Duncan, an old Negro whom Col. Dyer had known as a slave. Peter Duncan was one of the oldest Negroes in the United States. It is thought that he was over 100 years old. Before the civil war he was owned by John Duncan, a farmer of Lincoln county. Duncan's farm adjoins the one owned by Col. Dyer's father, and when the district attorney was a lad he and "Uncle Peter," who was then quite an old man, were friends. Old "Uncle Peter" followed with interest the career of Col. Dyer, and it was one of his frequent requests that when death overtook him the colonel should make an address at his grave. "Uncle Peter" had been a faithful worker until three months prior to his death. For many years he was in the employ of Michael Kelly, a farmer, whose place is not far from the origi- nate of the old Negro. At the grave there assembled many white persons who had known Peter Duncan for years. He was liked by every man, woman and child in the community. In speaking at the grave, Col. Dyer recalled how "Uncle Peter" had fondled him nearly a half century ago.—Republic. We have always had a very good opinion of Col. Dyer. Amid all the ravings of Tillman, we find true men all over the world who value men for their principles, and not for their color. PROF. W. B. HIGHGATE. Is the public school teacher in St. Charles, Mo., and has also been elected as delegate to the general conference of the A. M. E. church, which will be held in May, 1904. There is nothing that tends to shorten the lives of old people, and to injure their health, so much as the practice of sitting up late in the evening, especially if there is a grown up daughter in the family. This bit of advice is given at the request of several young men! INFORMATION WANTED—Concerning the whereabouts of Wilson Sanford, who formerly lived in Hazlehurst, Copiah county, Miss. He left there about twenty years ago. Any information concerning him will be thankfully received by Miss Annie Alvorid, of 4119 Fairfax avenue. I We have been looking for it. Holt's Saloon, 1925 Market street. Something new. The Jockey Club, 3924 Sophia avenue. Wm. Dover, Proprietor, is always ready to fill you up. The Gem Saloon—Hugh B. White, Proprietor, is the place to rest the weary head—1911 Market street. If you wish to help he good cause along, go to old friend Jeff Smith, 1201 Morgan street, and get good drinks. Then we see the Pink Ccat Bar, Twenty-second and Market streets. Williams and Head will do you fine. A fine place of resort is 1911 Market street, where you can get either an "eye-opener" or a "night-cap." Hugh B. White, Proprietor. The Rosebud Bar, 9220 Market street, Tom Turpin, proprietor, can "dress you up" with all that makes a man lively—good beer and whiskey. Jeff Smith's is the place to go—1201 Morgan street. Don't forget Teressa, the Florist, 1308 Olive street, the best in the city. Mr. Wm. P. Dys's Buffet, 2801 Manchester avenue, is the place to rest your weary head by taking good cigars and beer. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year. G. M., S. T. Pettigrew, Dalton; D. G. M., Dr. J. E. Perry, Columbia; G. S., W. H. Harrison, Jefferson City; A. G. S., C. C.

T. should rally around the grandmaster and let the good work proceed. A Memorial Service. The Odd Fellows, Sisters of Ruth, Juveniles and Patriarch will hold a memorial service, September 27, in memory of the most venerable patriarch, Brother W. C. H. Curtis, one of the founders of the order, who died recently in New York, after 60 years' continuous service, to the order. The meeting will be in charge of the subcommittee of management. R. D. Brown, of New York, will be one of the speakers on this occasion. A Delightful Luncheon Miss Grace Davis, of 3227 Hickory street gave a luncheon, Wednesday, September 9, in honor of Miss Lillian Bennett, who left last Thursday to resume charge of her school in Wentzville, Mo. Miss Bennett has recently come in possession of interest-bearing gold bonds, which accounts for her popularity with the Mercantile Trust company. The Forum Club. Much has been said concerning this club, its aims, what it has done and is now doing. This is the only club in the United States that does not patronize Negro men. This club makes its brag that it does not subscribe for but one newspaper, and that is The St. Louis Republican. Not since it has been a club has it ever subscribed for one Negro newspaper published by a Negro man. We will soon show that all that glitters is not gold. A MEDDLER. We have a Negro woman who is president of a bank. Ain't that coming—Texas Guide. And if our men will stand by us and encourage us, we will do more, for whatever we may do, it is all for the benefit of our men.—The Herald. This speaks bad for the men of Texas. Is it possible that there are no men capable of filling a like position? [Name] FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES. The Ruth club will serve dinner to the Grand B. Y. P. U. organization next Sunday, at 5 o'clock. The president, Mrs. Leatha Newcum, will be prepared to serve a large assembly of people. The grand B. Y. P. U. organization, composed of the four unions—namely, First Baptist, Fifth Baptist, Antioch Baptist and the Ebenezer Baptist—will hold its quarterly meeting next Sunday, at 3 p. m., at First Baptist church. A grand time is anticipated. The public is invited. The various clubs which were organized for the purpose of raising money to clear the church of debt, met last Sunday at 1:30 p. m., to arrange a series of lawn parties and suppers, etc. The Pleasant Workers' club will give a grand entertainment and lawn party at Sexton's grove, next Monday evening, September 21. This will be the finest of the season, hence a large crowd is expected. Mrs. Gibree, president; Anna Thomas, secretary. To Whom It May Concern. I desire to correct some mistakes afloat concerning my property at 3944 St. Ferdinand avenue. I have no relatives living, and I desired to leave my property to some Christian person. For the good care given my wife during her illness, the cheering words given her on her death-bed and for the faithful care given me before and since her death. I will leave the homestead at 3944 St. Ferdinand avenue to my foster daughter, Mrs. Belle Rodgers. REV. LEWIS LANE. PHOTO OF GRAND LODGE, U. B. OF F. AND S. M. T. The photo of Grand Lodge, taken by Mrs Denslow, of Macon, Mo., is an excellent reproduction. Every member ought to have one. Price, 65 cents. IT IS ROMORED That Miss Anna Cohen, of 2718 Wash, will soon be Mrs. T. M. We were expecting that months ago. That C. W. Williams' baseball team knocked the Lloyd team out. They are no more. That Charles Turner and John Casey are the only two children of Aunt Hager's at the Fair grounds. That C. Man Miller and the Eagle bird are looking for a place to alight. That C. K. Robinson is the most successful of the K. of P. men. That the worst negroes in St. Louis are those belonging to the staff of the American Eagle. That Bierman, of the internal revenue office, is the only political hoss on the small scale in St. Louis. That the assistant head janitor at the customhouse is looking for notoriety. Wait and see the Palladium. That the U. B. F. and S. M. T. is the most reliable order in the state. At least so says the undertaker. Graves, Gorman and Tillman Graves, Gorman and Trimman. If the Negro papers in the United States didn't mention the above names they would naturally die of want of notoriety. After almost 300 years of journeying side by side, the white man never became so troublesome until the Negro began to crowd him in pursuit of happiness and this world's goods. Not until then were such bloodhounds as Graves, Gorman and Tillman turned loose to harass the Negro. Let the Negro papers cease to mention their names—only consider them as three imps from the region of damation. A minister has been talking out in meeting about the status of the Negro. He said among other plain words: "The southern white man dislikes the Negro and owns up to it. The white man in the north dislikes the Negro, but lies about it!" CURRENT COMMENT. More than a fourth of the pensioners are the widows of soldiers. This fact seems to be forgotten by many who refer to the statistics of surviving veterans. Harry Lehr, the lion of New York's 400, now carries a bead purse chained to his waist like a lady. We publish this so that every man living may feel that he is at least superior to somebody. Alterations in New York's city hall have disclosed a secret staircase used by the boodle aldermen of 1884. Nowadays such enterprising officials are able to go in and out by the main entrance. Emperor William has $3,000,000 in American stocks. This is more important for peace between this country and Germany than Prince Henry's recent visit. The mighty dollar is the great olive branch. King Edward stopped the train so that he could get a cup of coffee made by an American negro cook in the buffet car; and he would stop the train oftener if he ever tasted a hoe cake made by Sambo. The purchaser of the Philadelphia Ledger is also the owner of the New York Times, the Philadelphia Times and the Chattanooga Times. Twenty years ago he was a poor printer in Tennessee. He seems to have talent for the art preservative. The New York democratic state committee has adopted a resolution favoring the nomination of a candidate for United States senator by the next democratic state convention, anticipating action by the legislature and binding democratic members to vote for him. This is an approach to direct popular choice. "A prominent politician who does not wish his name to be quoted" is the authority given by a New York paper for the statement that President Roosevelt desires to have the next publican presidential convention held in New York city. No republican national convention has ever been held in the metropolis. A few days ago Senator Clark, the Montana multi-millionaire, went into a Butte barber shop for a haircut and a shave. When he asked the price at the end of the service, the barber replied: "Your son, Charley, usually gives me $5." The senator quietly asked the regular fee, and, when told it was 50 cents, handed out a half dollar and went his way, with the remark to the barber: "My son Charley has a rich father and I have not!" The world's fair classification for horses presents a remarkable series of awards in the breeding rings, offering nearly $80,000 for these classes alone. A single stallion may win $500 solely on his merit in any of the more important classes. As the sire of purebred colts he may win $100 additional, and in the stud ring he may help to win $750 more. The appropriations for grade goldings and mares by recorded sires aggregate $10,840 in the world's fair breeding rings. "I'll take two pounds of snake, please." That, according to Pearson's Weekly, is what one may hear at certain shops in Klamath Falls, a town in Oregon, where there is quite an extensive industry in snakes. Children gather their aprons full of snakes as they would of wild flowers. The species of water snake so plentiful at Klamath Falls is of dark color, and when full grown about three feet long. They are used for medicinal purposes, as a superior quality of oil can be manufactured from this variety. The slight increase in the population of Australia and the rapid increase in public indebtedness is giving serious concern both to the commonwealth and the mother country, Great Britain. At the present time in Victoria, it is stated, the population is declining, the excess of births over deaths being more than counterbalanced by the emigration, so that in 1902, according to the census there was a net loss in population of 3,192. The state debt is now $212.50 a head, or considerably more than that of any other country in the world. According to Gen. Gomez, who heads the committee which has made out a list of the Cuban soldiers entitled to pay under the recent act, about 50,000 men will be on the roll. The pay for these ranges from $20,000 for Gomez himself, as commander of the army, down to $500 or $1,000 for the privates. Here is a chance for trouble for the republic. The $35,000,000 loan, even if it be subscribed in full, will not go more than half way toward meeting this exorbitant demand for compensation to the so-called liberators of Cuba. British advices state that Rev. Albert Swift, of Dulwich Grove Congregational church, London, has been invited by the committee of the St. Louis world's fair evangelistic campaign to take charge of the special work among young people in the exposition buildings. Mr. Swift has been granted six months' leave of absence by his church, which will make it possible for him to accept the invitation, and he will leave England on this special mission the day after the London Christian convention of 1904, of which he is the secretary Exceeds Anything Which Has Yet Occurred in Macedonia. POWERS TO RESTORE ORDER Military Occupation of Macedonia by Russia and Austria is Thought to be Only Expedient to Prevent the Threatened War. Berlin, Sept. 18.—The military occupation of Macedonia by Russia and Austria is thought here to be the only expedient sufficient to prevent war between Turkey and Bulgaria. This suggestion does not originate in Berlin. It reached here some days ago as an inquiry from Vienna to the foreign office as to what Germany thought of the two-power intervention, such intervention to be barely long enough to restore order and reorganize the Turkish constabulary property. The inquiry, it was assumed, rested upon a Russian-Austrian agreement. The identical question will probably be put to all the signatories of the Berlin treaty. Greatest Massacre Yet Reported. Greatest Massacre Yet Reported. Sofia, Sept. 18.—The report of a massacre at Kastoria comes from sources admitting of little doubt, though the details are lacking. It was received with the gravest concern by the officials here. The population of Kastoria numbers about 10,000 persons, and the massacre of such a number in one place, if the report be true, exceeds anything which has yet occurred in Macedonia. At the present critical moment when popular feelings is intense the effect of the report of such stupendous slaughter may be most serious. Bulgaria Mobilizing Troops. Bulgaria mobilizing troops. The press is assuming a bellcose tone. The Dnevnik, last night, complained that the government's partial mobilization of three divisions is utterly inadequate, and urges the immediate mobilization of the whole Bulgarian army, pointing out that the experience of other nations, France, the United States and Austria, have proved that it is always necessary to display strength when dealing with Turkey. The paper advises the government to act now "at a favorable moment, when the people of Europe are evincing encouragement of Bulgaria." The government, while steadily proceeding with the partial mobilization plans, is endeavoring to avoid unnecessarily exciting the people and, consequently, has resolved not to mobilize any part of the Sofia garrison. Great Britain Denies Report. London, Sept. 18.—The foreign office says that the report published by the Daily Chronicle that Great Britain had decided on the dispatch of a squadron to Turkish waters, is entirely premature, and that it is most unlikely that Great Britain will take such a step. Proposal Agreed to by Great Britain. London, Sept. 18.—The proposal that Austria and Russia occupy Macedonia was received here in time to be submitted to the cabinet at its recent meeting. It is understood that the reply of Great Britain states that she is willing this should be done, provided the other powers agree, and that Great Britain is ready to assent to any proposition looking to a settlement of the present situation in European Turkey, consonant with the views of the powers concerned. NO CONFIDENCE AT BEIRUT Robberies and Murders Common Occurrences and Europeans Feel Insecure. Beirut, Syria, Sept. 18.—Business it still suspended, notwithstanding the change in the governship, and it will take a long time to restore confidence. Robberies and murders are the order of the night, if not of the day, and the feeling of insecurity on the part of both European and native residents is very great. Some form of outrage against the foreign and Christian population occurs daily. The Christian refugees in the Lebanon mountains are returning very slowly and in sma.l numbers. CHAMBERLAIN HAS RESIGNED Colonial Secretary Has Tendered His Resignation in the British Cabinet. London, Sept. 18.—The resignations of Joseph Chamberlain as secretary for the colonies; C. T. Ritchie, as chancellor of the exchequer, and Lord George Hamilton, as secretary for India, were officially announced Thursday evening. King Edward Accepts Resignations. London, Sept. 18.—King Edward has accepted the resignations of Secretaries Chamberlain, Hamilton and Ritchie. Elected President St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 18—At the annual meeting of the Northern Pacific Beneficial association here; Thursday, M. C. Kimberly, general superintendent of the Northern Pacific, was elected president. The association is an employees' organization. Sons of Veterans Adjourn. Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 18.—The national encampment of the Sons of Veterans adjourned. Thursday, after selecting Boston for the next annual meeting. Arthur B. Spink, Providence, was elected commander-in-chief. An Event Always Looked Forward to with Pleasure. The Forty-Third Annual St. Louis Fair Will be Held the Week of October 5th to 10th. The forty-third annual fair at St. Louis will be held this year during the week of October 5 to 10, and preparations have been made to make it a notable one. As a live stock show the St. Louis fair will excel anything held in the west this fall. Favorable dates will have much to do with the success of the show from an artistic standpoint. All the big state fairs will have been held by the time the St. Louis fair opens, and prize-winners from the circuit are expected to compete for the fine sweepstake premiums offered. The Missouri state fair has already been held. Iowa, Michigan, Ohio and Indiana will have their state fairs this month. The great Illinois state fair is scheduled to be held at Springfield the week previous to the opening of the St. Louis fair, and the lists of entries will show the wisdom of the selection of the later date. Supt. Dement of the farm machinery department is delighted with the outlook in his lines. The applications for space in this department already exceed the total number of exhibitors last year, and the management, in anticipation of a big overflow, has made arrangements to accommodate late arrivals in large tents. Supt. Ayres of the agricultural hall has the same story to tell. St. Louis county truck farmers and Missouri fruit growers have generally monopolized all the premiums in this department heretofore, but there is every reason to believe that competition will be keener this year. The horse show department of the St. Louis fair is entitled to its share of credit for developing the saddlehorse breeding industry in Missouri. Kentucky and Tennessee are famous for their thoroughbreds. Missouri, on the other hand, excels as a producer of fine saddle horses and mules. Kentucky also breeds first-class saddle horses, but she has to come to Missouri for her champions. The best of them will be seen at the fair this fall. Secretary Hachmeister announces that he has secured some of the most sensational acts in the United States. These special free attractions will all take place in the amphitheater, giving two performances on each day of the fair. There will be thrilling cut-away balloon ascensions and parachute leaps; startling trapeze acts; wild animal shows, and a man and woman diving from a tower 80 feet high in a lock dive into a tank of four feet of water, flooded with gasoline and set on fire. This sensational act has never been seen in the western country. Six high class running races each day on mile track, grand horse show, trotting and pacing races, funny mule and hurdle races, and all live stock exhibitions will also be held in the big arena, which seats 50,000 people. People throughout the western country will visit this city during the week of the fair and witness the Veiled Prophet's parade and attend the grand ball, which taker place on Tuesday night, October 4. PRISONER FEARS BURNING. Frank Clark Arrested For Attack on Young Girl—Confessed and Fears He Will be Burned. Palmyra, Mo., Sept. 18:—Frank Clark, who was arrested in Galesburg, Ill., Wednesday, was brought here Thursday and placed in the Marion county jail. Clark is wanted for the attack and attempted murder of Ollie Hess, a 17-year-old girl of Clark county. Mo., several months ago. Clark cut her throat and left her for dead. She recovered, however, and will be the principal witness against her assailant. Clark has made a confession and expects to be hanged. His only fear is that he will be burned. Officials here say that he will be given a fair trial. REPORTER UNDER ARREST. Held on Charge of Administering Morphine to Charles Boynton, From Which He Died. Marinette, Wis., Sept. 18.—Harry Carter Irwin, reporter on a local newspaper, is under arrest to await the result of an inquest over the body of Charles Boynton, a jeweler. Irwin is charged with having administered several doses of morphine to Boynton last night while the later was ill, from which he died. Irwin has worked on papers in New York, Washington and Boston.

Julius Kohlmann was shot to death in his saloon at Spanish Lake, in St. Louis county, a deaf mute bystander seriously wounded, and an attempt made to kill a five-year-old son of Kohlmann's by one of two highwaymen, who afterwards looted the places and made their escape. Posting his confederate on the lookout at the door, the robber who did the shooting entered the saloon and asked for a drink of whisky. When Kohlmann turned to wait upon him the man deliberately shot him in the head. With the smoking revolver in his hand, the robber then sprang over the bar and seized the money, exposed on a back shelf, amounting to about $3. As he turned to flee he fired parting shots at the deaf mute and the Kohlmann boy, hitting the former. Sixty dollars in the cash register and $50 in Kohlmann's pockets were overlooked in the hurry of the robbers to escape. County Corn Show. Then State. H. J.

TALES OF DISASTERS ALONG THE COAST Hundreds of Lives and Many Vessels Have Been Lost. GREAT NUMBER STILL MISSING It is Estimated That Over Three Hundred Craft of Various Kinds, With Their Crews, Were Lost Off the New England Coast. New York, Sept. 18.—Following Wednesday's hurricane came another severe storm Thursday. In New York city the gale blew at the rate of 67 miles an hour, which was stronger than Wednesday's gale. The damage was not so wide-spread, however, because the storm did not last so long. Fishing schooners that arrived Thursday brought tales of disasters from all along the coast. At least half a dozen men were drowned from these boats and it is feared that many more met a similar fate, as several schooners are missing, some of which are known to have foundered. Eight fishing smacks which formed part of the fleet overtaken by the hurricane at Five Fathom Bank arrived Thursday, but ten others are yet to be heard from. Among the men who were drowned were Capt. John G. Morgan and Fisherman Ned Peterson, of the schooner M. A. Baston, and Capt. Slas Latham and Fishermen Peter Barr and Lewis Wilcox, of the schooner Esther and Anita. The mate of the M. A. Baston, who brought the schooner into port, said that it was in the attempt to clear one of the sinking smacks that Capt. Morgan was knocked overboard, the schooner being thrown on her beam's ends. The names of the boats that have gone down are not at present known It is thought, however, that they may number four, carrying in all from forty to fifty men During the height of the storm one of the United States cruiser Chicago's launches, carrying the paymaster, an engineer and four men, put off from shore at Tompkinsville, Staten island. Out in stream the launch was swamped, and all the men went overboard. The paymaster had with him a satchel containing $27,000, but, according to the regulations, it was attached to a buoy. The lighthouse tender Daisy put out from shore and saved the men when they were almost exhausted, and a boat's crew sent out from the Chicago went in search of the money, which, after a long search, was found. Although no bodies have been washed ashore, there is little doubt that seven lives were lost in the numerous wrecks along the Brooklyn water front in Wednesday's storm. There are many witnesses, members of the marine and field clubs, and Brooklyn Yacht club, Bath Beach and the Atlantic Yacht club, at Sea Gate, who saw a two-masted schooner with three men in its rigging "turn turtle" and sink in Gravesend bay. It is estimated that between Canarsie and Fort Hamilton three hundred craft of various kinds were lost, and the damage is placed at $250,000. There were 500 men on these. Nearly all the New England states were subjected to a continuous southernly gale, which lasted fully a day and a half. Many small craft were wrecked, and the destruction of two small fishing vessels on the rocks of Pemaquid Point, Me., resulted in the drowning of 15 fishermen. SAVED OFF DELAWARE CAPES. Capt. Chandler and Eleven of the Crew of the Tug Spartan Rescued. Philadelphia, Sept. 18.—The steamship Brookline, which arrived here from Bocas del Toro, had on board Capt. Chandler and the mate of the tug Spartan, who were picked up, Wednesday, off the Delaware capes. Ten others of the crew were rescued by a fishing boat and landed at Anglesea, N. J. During the gale, Wednesday, the Spartan's hawser washed overboard and became entangled in the wheel, causing the vessel to careen and fill with water. Three men of the Spartan's crew are still missing. FIFTEEN LIVES LOST. Two Wrecks Off Pemquid Point On the Coast of Maine. Damariscotta, Me., Sept. 18—Fifteen men lost their lives in the violent gale which raged off the coast during the night. The Gloucester mackerel seining schooner Geo. F. Edmunds, in command of Capt. Willard G. Poole, the owner, struck on the eastern side of Pemaquid point and was smashed to pieces. Fourteen of the crew of sixteen men perished in the breakers. The schooner Sadie and Lillian, Capt. Hardy, of Prospect, bound from Prospect Bay to Boston, struck on the western side of Pemaquid point and had her bottom knocked out on the rocks. Capt. Hardy was drowned but his crew of two men were rescued. REPORT ROUGH EXPERIENCES. Incoming Vessels Report Rough Experiences With the Storm. New York, Sept. 18.—Incoming vessels report rough experiences with the hurricane at sea. The Clyde·line steamer Cherokee, from San Domingo, was in the storm during the entire voyage from Turk's island to this port. In the Gulf stream its force was terrife and on Wednesday the steamer was hove to for four hours in an 80-mile wind. The Maravail, from Trinidad and Grenada, had a similar experience. Five Survivors of a Crew of Twenty-Two Rescued Exhausted. Officers of Doomed Vessel Shot Themselves, Preferring That Kind of Death to Drowning. New York, Sept. 18.—The steamer Vidar, Capt. Sorrenson, arrived, Thursday night, from Caibarien, having on board six of the crew of the British steamer Mexicano, which foundered during a gale on September 16. Capt. Sorrenson said he was sitting in his cabin about nine o'clock yesterday morning when he heard a cry. Going to his vessel's bridge he saw something in the water, and with the aid of his glass he found it to be a small hatch with a man in oil skins stretched full length on it. He steered for the man and rescued him almost exhausted and unable to speak. The Vidar had proceeded about a mile when her captain found five more men clinging to pieces of wreckage. He picked up the castaways. They, too were exhausted, and one was nearly crazy, and the rescuers in the Vidar's lifeboat could hardly keep him from jumping overboard. One of the survivors, August Osterlind, a native of Finland, tells the following story: Survivor'4 Story. "About four o'clock on September 15 we encountered a severe hurricane blowing from the south. A heavy sea swept the steamer from stem to stern carrying away the lifeboats and ventilators, flooding the engine rooms and putting out the fires. The steamer then became unmanageable, and rolled about for a little over an hour, when she sank stern first. The boatswain refused to leave his bunk, saying if he had to die he would rather die in his bunk than in the sea. Two other men refused to leave the stoke room, pre ferring to take a chance on the steamer standing out the storm. Officers Shot Themselves. "We were on the bridge with the officers, and jumped overboard just as the steamer went down. Just before I jumped I heard two pistol shots, and I think some of the officers shot themselves, preferring that kind of death to drowning. We drifted about for several hours, doing our best to keep together, but when daylight came there were but seven of us together. Second Mate Gave Up Hope. "The second mate was about ex-hausted. He took off his life buoy handed it to one of the sailors, said good-by to all of us, and went down. We had about given up hope when we sighted the steamer." The Mexicano was a tank steamer, and carried a crew of 22 men besides Capt. King. CAREYSNYDERBROUGHT BACK His Imprisonment in Kansas City Now Ends a Chase That Began a Year Ago Last May. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 18.—Detectives McAanamy and McGuire arrived in Kansas City, Thursday, with Carey Snyder, whom they arrested in a small town near Billings, Mont., more than a week ago. The return of Snyder was not made without a series of dramatic incidents, and his imprisonment in Kansas City now ends the chase that was commenced in May of last year, and extended over a great part of the United States. Snyder is charged with holding up and robbing O. H. Stevens and his wife on the night of May 1, 1902, when it is alleged, he secured diamonds and other jewels valued at about $6,500. Charles E. Farrow, now a prisoner in the county jail is said to have confessed to the police that he was one of the robbers, and implicated Snyder as the other. Snyder denies having any connection with the robbery. Snyder is the son of R. M. Snyder, at one time a leading banker of this city. THE REWARD FOR KELLEY. Gov. Dockery of Missouri Will Give Three Hundred Dollars for Daniel J. Kelley. Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 18.—Gov.

ADAMS ight 1s Be eae aoa ae OoeORETY CHAPTER XXI—Coxtixvep, ‘There was no afternoon siesta that joy. In the bright sunlight, the ve- vouda was alive with flaming headlines snd rustling newspapers. For two hows seareely a word was spoken, Fach man read in silence; intent on those items of news in which he had 1 personal interest. Again they lived yor the events of the 18 days which passed—this time not on the -decks of a yacht, or in a tropical wild: yness, but in New York. 1. Sylvester Vincent broke the pel. He had searched paper after paper and finally came upon a modest jem in ‘The New York Record an- souncing his disappearance. “| don't seem to eut much ice in this mystery,” he said in an aggrieved There was a roar of laughter, in which Vincent joined. “Never mind, Vincent,” said Mr. Kent, “you are the only one in the ourty who will quit winner on this A a / ! En WAS A ROAR OF LAUGHTER. al. If you save those beastly idols, you will be fairly rich, and your pic- will be in all the papers. You will yet be famous. Did you see this, Mr. Rockwell?” Mr, Kent read the following from The Record May 4th: lt is a matter of sincere regret that er B, Hestor, the famous special orvajundent of The New York Record, Vi shis elty on a cruise through the Avatiereanean ‘shorty. before this out~ ise occurred. “AIL westhound steamers have been requested to communicate the fucts to Mr, Hestor, in order that his cos may be secured at the earliest possivic moment, No Journalist living is vetior qualified to unravel a mystery of uaracter, and ‘The Record hopes to vs able to announce the co-operation of Mr. Hestor in a few days.” “I should say he was well quali- fied," remarked Mr. Kent. “I must give Hestor eredit for rare talent in the selection of steaks and wines. The poor fellow is as erazy as a bug ou most matters, but his mind is perfectly elear on Scotch whisky and igars. By the way, Pence, did you read those articles about your will? One of the papers say you leave $25,- {0,000 to endow an old ladies’ home, ‘nd another says your entire fortune Nill be devoted to a socialist univer- ‘ily. The Philadelphia papers claim tat your money is left to indigent actors and race horse people. Is there any truth in {t2” Simon Penee looked up over his stevi-rimmed speetacles and he smiled at his questioner in a good-natured “You are too old a man, Kent, to believe everything yon see in news- papers,” Mr. Penge said, and returned to his reading. _ Lhave a suggestion to make,” sald “davy Hammond, later in the after- toon. “If Hestor remains around these waters—as he is likely to do— there is no telling what he may at- ‘onpt. It evidently is his intention ‘hat we remain where we are for an tides nite period. It is impossible to forecast what vagary his faney may fake, I doubt if he came neur the Mnealow last night. If it is his idea to keep us om the island apd supply ih, Nith luxuries, he will object to the construction of such a boat as we yew have under way. ‘There: is pithing to prevent his quietly com= ie in some might and towing “Ire Zonving Jupiter’ out to sea, ‘This ould be a calamity and we must run no chances. The yawl he has given us, is not seaworthy for more than three men. If necessary, I am ready to make the trip to the mainland in the yawl, but our best plan is to remain together and finish our boat. In the meantime, we should guard it at night. I suggest that we detail twa men to night work on the boat. They can work with lanterns and guard our property at the same time.” “We will do that,” said.Mr. Mor- ton. “I will gladly take the night shift for a time. Who will go with me?” All volunteered, and Mr. Morton selected Mr. Haven as his companion. CHAPTER XXIr_ but no leaks were disclosed. Each of the eight compartments seemed to be water-tight, and provision was made that in case of a leak the faulty ‘one could be bailed out. It had been hoped to finish “The Jumping Jupiter” by Saturday night, but this was found impossible. A heavy rain set in Saturday evening and continued all day Sunday. The day was spent in reading, and Mon- day morning found all much re- freshed, and ready to complete the preparations for departure. ‘There Were occasional showers during the day, bnt it was cool. It was found possible to work without the usual afternoon respite.” When six o'clock came Mr. Carmody inspected the “Jumping Jupiter” and announced that the boat was finished, Candor compels the admission that “The Jumping Jupiter” was as ugly a craft as ever stood ready to put out to sea. In comparison, a canal boat was a model of grace, and a Hudson river raft would hesitate to recog- nize the prototype evolved by the builders on Social Island. The only paint was that used in outlining the name on the opposite sides of the cabin. “The Jumping Jupiter” is easily described. Imagine a 40-foot scow supporting a 24-foot cabin on top of which there were two short masts. These masts supported two lateen sails made of striped window awnings, and the sail-makers made no attempt to preserve any unifor- mity of design in connecting the stripes. As Mr. Kent remarked, the sails looked “like two teams of con- victs engaged in a football scrim- mage.” ‘There were thwarts for three oars on each side of the boat. A long oar served as a rudder and a crude wind- lass supported the rock anchor. But what “The Jumping Jupiter” lacked in beauty she made up in staunch- ness and utility. ‘There was no chance for her to flounder. “The Jumping Jupiter is all right,” said Mr. Kent, as they stood off and surveyed this marine wonder. “But I object to calling the Jumping Jup- iter a ‘she,’ There is nothing ef- feminate about this boat, We will call it a ‘he’ It is a wonderful boat. It is also a submarine boat, isn’t it, Vincent?” “It started ont that way,” said Vincent, with a grin, “I hope he won't repeat that performance.” During the evening they placed such furniture and bedding on board as was needed. For two days ‘Vin- cent and Mr. Pence had been cook- ‘mg in preparation for the voyage. ‘They had provided huge joints of roast beef, and enough bread to last a week or more. They placed in the storeroom of “The Jumping Jupiter” a store of canned meats and vegeta- bles, huge bunches of bananas, paw- paws and qther tropical luxuries. Everything which would hold water was pressed into service. Several casks of fresh water were placed in the hold, as also were extra stores of food, in case a storm should wash the cabin overboard. In that event it was proposed that all should seek shelter below and trust to Iuck and a sandy beach. The new dinghy was lashed to the roof of the cabin. ‘There was one thought which dis- turbed the prospective voyagers, though none mentioned it, “Where was Hestor and the “Shark,” and would he interfere with their depart- ure? Had he observed their prep- arations for escape? They could not. hope to make any effective fight against recapture, but every man swore to himself to resist such an outrage to the last extremity. That Monday night Sidney and Mr. Kent climbed the cliffs and scanned the sea. There was no ship or craft in sight, but for all they knew the “Shark” might be anchored behind the cliffs which jetted out from the opposite horns of the crescent which limited their range of vision north and south. ‘At a conference it was decided to put out to sea about 11 o'clock the following forenoon, unless the wind and weather absolutely precluded such a risk. At this hour the tide was favorable, since it swung with a strong current to the north. They aimed to circle the island to the north and head straight for the main- land; which in their opinion was not more than 150 miles to the west or southwest. “By the way,” said Sidney, “have you and Vincent put your idols om board “fhe Jumping Jupiter’?” “[ have made a special compart- ment for them in my stateroom,” said Mr. Pence. “We will put them on board to-morrow morning.” 2 “So the good ship ‘Jumping Jupi- ter’ is to be a treasure ship, is he?” said Mr. Kent, “How about that, Mr. Carmody? Who owns ‘The Jumping Jupiter’? In my opinion, we all own an eqip! share. Now, this gett shipment is purely a business ee eee mer ret eae should charge heavy freight. I should say that we should be justified in charging not less than 25 per cent. of the value of the cargo as freight. If Pence and Vincent can use dur boat to carry a lot of heathenish idols, I want to carry an equal weight in bananas. Hammond is also anxious to ship some rare wood he has found. Each of us is entitled to at least 750 pounds of freight. ‘The Jumping Jupiter’ cannot hold any such burden in addition to our common store of provisions and other necessities. What are we go- ing to do about it?” Mr. Kent winked solemnly at Mr. Carmody. “I have thought of that,” said Mr. Carmody. “I have found some beau- tiful marble, and would like to take back some of those carvings from the ruined temple. It certainly is not fair to let two men monopolize the carrying capacity of ‘The Jump- ing Jupiter’ for their private gain.” “That is right,” said Mr. Morton. “We must be fair in this matter. I think that 25 per cent. is too low a rate. It shonld be at least 331-3 per cent. The gold is worth $360,000, as near as we can estimate, and this will make the freight charges $120,- 000, ‘This will be divided equally among six of us, or $20,000 each. Mr. Pence and Mr.’ Vincent will heve $240,000 to divide between them. As a matter of equity, we all have an equal share in this gold, since it was discovered by these men in the per- formance of a common duty. But we will waive that. I insist. that $120,000 is not too much to charge for freight.” q “I think ten per cent. is enough,” said Mr. Pence, “Be fair, gentlemen, be fair!” “Phe Jumping Jupiter’ has an ab- solute monopoly of this business,” said Mr. Kent. ““It is not customary for shippers to fix rates, If you and Vincent do not like our way of doing business, transfer your trade to some other firm. ‘his is not a matter of sentiment. As a stockholder, and as a man who made the masts of “The Jumping Jupier? I move you, Mr. President, that we accept this freight risk for 33 1-8 per cent. of the value of the gold, and retain the mer- chandise as security until such time ae proper settlement is made.” “I second the motion,” said Mr. Haven. . “All in favor say aye,” said Mr. Rockwell. Six men roared “aye!” “Those opposed say no!” “No! No!” shouted Simon Pence. Vincent did not vote. Mr. Kent had nudged him to keep quiet. “It is an outrageous rate, and I will never pay it!” said Mr. Pence. “Why do you fix such an unheard- of rate?” “he Jumping Jupiter’ is a trust, and we need the moncy,” said Mr, Kent. “I am afraid those grinning idols Will hoodoo us as it is. I move that we leave them behind, Mr. Presi- dent. ‘The best we can get is a law- suit.” “I will pay the rate! I will pay it!” exclaimed Mr. Pence. “I was only joking.” “Draw up an agreement, Ham- mond, and have it properly signed and witnessed,” said Mr. Rockwell. Sldney did so, and Mr. Pence and Vincent signed it. Early the follow- ing morning the idols went on board “The Jumping Jupiter.” Tuesday morning broke fair and clear, with a steady put freshening southwest breeze Never had the is- land looked loviier than on the day set for the departure of the cast- aways. It seemed as if the feathered denizens of the tropical forests had surmised their plans, and had gath- ered to bid them Godspeed with a noisy chorus. Their brilliant plum- age glistened in iridescent hues throngh the foliage around the bungalow. ‘The chattering bander- logs watched the preparations with curious interest. One very bold monkey ventured so near that Vin- cent, by a sudden rush, covered him with a large wicker basket. After much maneuvering he sueceeded in clamping a chain over his neck and triumphantly led him captive to the deck of “The Jumping Jupiter.” “Here is our mascot!” he ex- claimed, as he fastened the chain to the windlass, “He is ugly enough to stand off all the idols.” ‘The monkey made a dash for Vin- cent’s leg, but missed it by an inch. Vincent named him “Socks,” on ac count of his white feet, and “Socks” was duly accepted as a mascot and a passenger. ‘There was a final survey cf the bungalow to see if any necessary ar- ticle had been overlooked. ‘The win- dows were closed and barred and the keys deposited in the box unier the tree where Hestor had found them. The big triangular sails were raised, mond was made captain of "Tie Jumping Jupiter.” He accepted the Position and promised to discharge the duties to the best of his ability. He admitted an unfamiliarity with craft of “The Jumping Jupiter” class, but was confident that “he” would Prove seaworthy. Once away from shore, they caught the benefit of tide and breeze, and swept out to- wards the gateway. Mr. Pence took one long look towards the rock where he had spent three awful hours. As they approached the cate let of “Morton’s Bay” Sidney gave his first order.’ He glanced at the white breakers and shouted: “Man the oars!” Six of the men stood at the long sweeps. A critical moment was ap- proaching. ‘They were headed straight for the surf. Sidney saw that there was a heavy swell rolling in, He stood by the tiller and issued his instructions in a calm voice. “When I give the word bend to your oars and row as hard as you can,” he said. “There is not any danger, but we must help counteract the force of the surf. We shall make it readily enough. All ready? Row!" ‘The bow of “The Jumping Jupiter" rose slightly as the first incoming roller struck the raft. Mr. Pence was the only one not at work, and he looked at the foaming combers ahead with eyes lifted in terror. ‘There was a strong breeze between the cliffs, and to Sidney's delight the boat was under good headway. The men pulled vicorously at the sweeps. The bow of “The Jumping Jupiter” sank in a way that was sickening to Simon Pence. ‘The next moment a green wall of water fell with a crash. “Socks” gave a shriek which was smothered as the water rolled over him, The raft groaned from end to end, There was a sound of breaking lass. Sow! Row hard!” shouted sia- ney. For an instant the boat wal- lowed backwards. ‘Then a_ stron gust of wind filled the sails a everyone bent to the oars. The next wave did not break. “Once again!” shouted Sidney ‘There was a big wave coming. It towered overhead, but broke before it reached the boat. There was 3 smother of foam and a roar like that of Niagara, but “The Jumping Jupiter” was not to be stopped. Ina few seconds they were past the dan- ger line and out in deep water, where the swells rolled in regular lines broken only by ripples caused by the breeze. The oars wero taken in and fastened to their places.

Am Authority Tells of the commow Belief of the Ancients Regard- ing Their Effect. An Irish atthority thus defines as an expert the effects of a well deliy- ered curse; “The belief among the ancient Irish was that a curse once pronounced must fall in some diree- tion. If it had been deserved by him ‘on whom it is pronounced it will fall ‘on him sooner or later, but if it has not, then it will return upon the per- son who prorounced it. ‘They com pare it to a wedge with which a woodman cleaves timber. If it has room to go. it will go and cleave the wool, but if it has not it will fly out and strike the woodman himself, whe is driving it, between the eyes.” There are three altars inside the cashel at Innismurray, Ireland, built square of rough loose stones and having on the top of them a number of curious, round, smooth stones. ‘These have been used for cursing by turning them and the natives are very superstitious abont them. ‘One mode of averting the eurse was for the person against whom the stones were turned to have a grave dug, to cause himself to be laid in it and to have three shovelfuls of earth cast over him, thé grave diggers at the same time reciting certain shymes, R.

Wy Clearfield Wonden-Ware Con be ae a CLEAWAELD, PA. ele A well-known politician once asked a New England clergyman what were his intentions for the future of his vigorous youngster who was playing on the lawn, “Well,” he said, “my wife and I believe in natural selec- tion and letting a boy follow the bent of his mind. To find out what that was we left him in the sitting- room one day with a Bible, a silver dollar and an apple. I said, ‘If when we come back he is reading the Bible I shall train him to follow me as a preacher; if he has pocketed the dol- lar I shall make a banker of him; if he is playing with the apple I will put him on a farm. When we re- turned he was sitting on the Bible, eating the apple from one hand and clutching the dollar in the other, and I remarked, ‘Wife, this boy is a hogs we must make a politician of him.™ —Philadelphia Ledger.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fine subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. The St. Lou's Palladium is sold at the following places: 2617 Lawton avenue. 209 South 15th street. 1208 Wash street. 2652 Lucas avenue Charleston, Mo. West Plains, Mo. 3104 State street, Chicago, Ill. KEEP THE FLAG FLYING. We take pleasure in mentioning the Denslow Studio of Macon, Mo. A picture of the members of the Grand Lodge and Temple was taken by Mr. Denslow. They are only 65 cents. Everyone should secure one of these photos. See his ad. The Globe-Democrat of September 12 contains an article pertaining to England's recent discrimination against the Negro. England has hitherto been noted for its complete ignoring of the color line. No one could convince anyone acquainted with England's custom in this respect that it is the native Englishman who discriminates. We can rest assured that if drawing the color line has become a custom, some upstart of an American, who is endeavoring to make himself conspicuous, has used this means to further his own ends. The color line will never be countenanced there. PUBLISHED BY PALLADIUM A MONTH AGO. Some months ago we stated that "Doc" Bartholdt and Joy went to Col. Dyer and asked him to let up on certain men—namely, John Dolan and Tom Barrett. Last Monday the Republic published the same report. It is a wonder that the chief clerk under B. Westhus does not call on the United States district attorney and demand that Col. Dyer be compelled to cease. THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD. Again this little patent-sheet is thrown upon a few people with thirteen columns of stereotyped matter and three of original matter picked up in the little country village of Columbia. Yet the novice of an editor presumes to criticise a newspaper like The Paladium. That is more cheek than can be credited to the Old Black man. He will learn better in a few years, we hope. Gall! Gall!! We have stated time and time again that all free doings with The Palladium were passed. We have printed several lengthy articles for various persons, thinking that a compensation of a few dollars would follow, but we discovered our error after the articles were published. Some persons fail to take the hint, for they still forwarded similar articles. They have more gall than J. D. Miller and "the other fellow." THE STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY. We are glad, indeed, that the State Historical society, through the efforts of Mr. Walter Williams, has given all Negro newspapers an opportunity to display their ability in the journalistic line. Now is the time for the newspapers of Missouri to make a supreme effort to make an excellent exhibit. The Palladium has already sent the weekly copies of seven months. Every Negro in the state ought to subscribe for The Palladium in order to assist us to produce a creditable presentation. It is a question of the race and not the individual. Mr. Walter Williams has extended this chance to us in order to enable us to gain some prominence in newspaper work, and each and everyone should assist by having his "ad." appear in our paper.

The New Yorker at breakfast asked for pie. The waiter, one of the unfortunates who for years had been systematically kept in darkness, answered: "We don't serve pie at breakfast, sir."

These experienced gentlemen now have a study at 2605 Lawton avenue, and the collection of their drawings has excited the most skeptical 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 pictures.

Both in America and Europe stone implements have been found, made by the aborigines and undoubtedly meunt for cutting and hacking timber.- The shape varies greatly, and there are numerous degrees of sharpness. Oc- casionally by chipping and grinding something like an edge was produced, but this was rarely comparable to that obtained with metal. it is hard to understand how wood which was tough and hard could be hewn with these axes. Of course, the primitive man did \ | F Vv I Th Ee cen s not handle such heavy timber or de such fine fitting as his successors, and yet he accomplished wonders. Dr. John Gifford, of the New York State College of Forestry, compares the implements of prehistoric days with those of to-day, in Forestry and Irrigation, From his illustrations we reproduce a few specimens. At the left are some more advanced forms of stone axe, and at the right three repre- sentatives of modern times. The twe axes having handles, with their heads \downward, are the American single bitted and double bitted types, and the ‘one having its head uppermost and ‘haying a straight handle is of German | manufacture. The Indians fastened their axeheads upon wooden handles with stout thongs. In order to derive ‘a correct idea of the relative size of ‘these axes, one should imagine that ot the stone implements to be reduced one-third in comparison with the metal ones. Dr. Gifford says: | “The axe had its beginning in a pounding implement of rough stone, ‘It gradually developed into a tool with an edge for hacking and a pole for ‘pounding. Its efficiency was finally increased by the addition of a handle. It has remained a combined pounding and cutting implement up to the time of the manufacture of the double bitt- ed steel axe. A chopper goes into the woods to cut, and-the larger the cut- ting edge at his disposal the better, but as a tool for general utility the ‘double bitted is inferior to the common single bitted axe with curved hickory handle. “A good axe should be solid steel. It is said that hand-made axes tem- pered by the heat of natural gas are the best. It should have a curved blade, with bulging faces; such an axe throws out the chips and does not stick. These carefully proportioned curves give tothe American axe its great efficiency. A professor of art in Ger- many once said that a thing with ar- tistic Iines is usually a thing of great- est utility, and he gave as an illus- tration the American axe. . . German axes radically differ from the common American axe, but are not so clumsy and inefficient as they appear at first sieht.” Fishes Sensitive to Sound, ‘The sense of hearing in fishes is stil: a matter of uncertainty. ‘They have no ears resembling (hose of the higher ani- mals, but they are sensitive to sound in ‘some degree, although it is doubtful if this can be called hearing. Late experi- ments by Dr. Zenneck, of Strassburg, show something of the degree of sensi- tiveness. ‘The sound of a bell in the wa- ter caused roach, dace and bleak to dart away if within ten feet or to show signs of distubance if within 25 feet. When the bell was muifled and in a pail, the fish were slightly disturbed. A Grain of Doubt. Towne (at the track)—Oh! I’ve got a dead sure thing for this race; I simply can’t lose. Browne—Indeed?

Arise Largely from a Falxe Sense of Proportion—Manhood Should Be ‘Setkkt Bitine Bokeomn. The temptations of social life large- ly arise from a false sense of propor- tion. We are like men who stand so close to some cutjutting rock that they camnot sce the mountain. We are so close to our immediate work, says the Congregationalist, that we cannot real Wve that it is only a part of our true life. The whole duty of man cannot be bounded by the apparent require- ments of business success. It takes account of relations to God as well as self, to others as certainly as to those who are dependent on us. We may praise diligence in business with a good conscience only so long as we combine with it the other require ments of the apostle: “In diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serv- ing the Lord.” Because we have our place in the social order and business competition to sustain, we must study the proportion of these claims to the demands of our filial relation to God and our brotherly relation to men. It will be serving the world badly it we succeed in offering it a successful business at the cost of giving it a ‘mean and petty and degenerate- men. There is a certain cynically allit- stative rule of life which charges a young man to “get on, get honor, get honest.” The stress of business com- petition seems to call for some such progress by way of success to position and self-respect. It is a real and con- stant temptation, only to be met by remembering that if the man makes the business, the business also makes the man. Even success may be too dearly bought. It may be spending a life to climb the rock when the real mountain of vision and honor is be- hind it. It may niean so short-sighted a perspective that time fills the vis- jon while eternity is out of sight, and that the praise of men may satisfy while the praise of God may be forgot- ten or refused. The business man needs the sense of proportion which takes account of God as well as man, of old age as well as maturity, of self- respect in days to come as well as the servility which follows wealth to-day. ‘The companion of this desire to get on in business at any cost is the so- cial rivairy and display which is al- ways with us, but which has never reached larger proportions than in our recent prosperous times. It is a glamour which takes possession of the soul and destroys the sense of great and small, of true and false. It evades definition, it escapes analysis. It turns vensible men and women into foolish ones, a competency into the strain of poverty, wealth into a real indigence, because the thing desired is always Just beyond the reach of. those who seek it. This social ambition which ‘on the one side seeks self-glorification by lavish’ display and on the other by despising those who are lower in the renks of fashion becomes a destroyer of the brotherhood of men, a contra- diction of the Christlike spirit. Here, too, a sense of the proportion of our life, a sense of the dignity of every child of God is the corrective for this insanity of faise ambition. ‘The resources which are employed for service are the true satisfactions of the social instinct, and bring the true reward of honor. To seek with fever- ish endeavor the praise of men is al ways disappointing. To seek the Praise of Goa sooner or later also brings in its train the honor and the love of men. A Conceited Conscience. “There is nothing so unmanageable az a conceited conscience,” says Beecher. The Pharisee had one, and he has many successors. It exists in a case where self-approval is so enor- moussy inflated thet the one .en- trenched behind it cannot see over to discover the disapproval of God or tmau.—Philadelphia Young People.

THE ROAD TO TRUTH. Fallure to Act According to: Our Light Nesulce tu Inabiiity to Reason Sauate “The end of man,” says Carlyle, “ss an action, not a thought.” ‘That is net eay- ing that thought is not a neceseary part of all high action, of course. But thought that stops in itself is stopping on the road to truth. Action and action alone, says Philadelphia Young People, takes it forward. Prof. James, thenoted psychologist, has well represented thought as “only a place of transit, the ‘bottom of a loop, both of whose ends have their point of application in the outer world.” All that our eyes, our ears, our daily connection with the world and with others bring to us, must pacs through our minds and souls, and return to the outside world again transmuted into action. “In plain English, percep- tion-and thinking are only there for be- havior’s sake,” says the professor, and long before modern psychology came to this conclusion the Bible summed up the same truth, “Faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” For this reason truth can never be learned by mere argument. We ¢o not really possess a truth until we have acted on it, and it takes continual action on it to make it part of the fiber of our ‘minds and souls. We can fail to make progress toward truth by refusing to act upon it. The young man who holds the Gospel message in his mind, but de- termines not fo take any action on it at present, is losing clear perception of It, and power of clear thought about it, daily. He may not think so, he may think instead that he is gaining an in- tellectual perception of its difficulties. But the fact is, that he is losing power to act by not acting—that is all. He has checked the advance of truth half way, shutting it up in thought when it ought to be set free In act. “If any man will do His will he shall know of the doctrine whether it be of God.” Thought alone ‘is powerless to know God; feeling alone is powerless to love God. We must keep God's commandments, putting our emo- ‘tions and thoughts into acts of obedience ‘before we can abide in His love, and know Him whom to know aright is life eternal. lt is a very simple road after all. To perceive, to think, to act—surely anyone ean reach truth without trouble. But that third step is where many young people pause. It is easy to see the beauty of holiness, and easy to thinz about it. Those two steps are unnoticed, create no antagonism, make no costly demands. But to act—that means a great deal. Better wait fora little more knowledge, a little more consideration of the matter, whispers. the enemy of souls, and many souls yield to the whis- per. And then, having blocked the road to truth, they lose themselves in mazes of doubt, and never get anywhere. Per- haps, like Pilate, who knew the right but refused to act upon it, they end by falling back upon the philosophical re- mark: “What is truth?” Alas! the rea- son Pilate never reached any further acquaintance with truth was that he would not act on the knowledge of Christ he had already. The dying thief had not had half Pilate’s oppertunities, but he was a man of action, and it saved him. For many of us to-day salvation hangs upon action. Shall we act, then— or shall we pause in the barrenness of thought and never reach saving truth? RELIGIOUS TRUTHS. A man in rags is not half so pitiable as a character In rags.—Wellspring.

The only requisites for tat: ting are a bone shuttle, a crochet hook and coarse thread. In choosing the shuttle select one which has the two halves coming together at the points 30 as not to let the thread escape while working, and also that it shall not catch in the work. The two parts should just meet, so that the thread in pushing through, should cause slight click. | ‘The two ilustrations of the hands show the way the thread is passed round the hand and how the shuttle should be held. Having filled you shuttle with thread, take it in you right hand between thumb and firs finger, take the end of the thread with your left and hold in position firmly with thumb and forefinger and pas: the thread outward around*the fingers, which should be spread out, and bring it round to the end and hold both with finger and thumb firmly, as in Fig. 1; pass the thread over to the left and bring the shuttle down on the right side 0: the thread heal pretty taut by the spread fingers, carry it under the thread and bring it up on the left side between the taut thread and the shut- tle thread (which was thrown over from the finger and thumb). This will make a single knot. ‘The spread fingers must now be relaxed and the shuttle thread held taut to bring the knot into position and so that the thread round the hand shall be over the shuttle thread aad allow the latter to be drawn back and forth through the middle of the knot. This so far is only a single knot. Now let the shuttle thread hang loose on the right-side of the thread around ‘the hand and pass the shuttle on the left under the thread and bring up on the right, as in Fig. 2; relax the fin- gers, tighten the shuttle thread and carefully draw up close to the other single knot. Now you have a double knot. See that the shuttle thread comes through the middle; otherwise when you have all your knots made the thread would not draw, and it would, therefore, be no use. T remember when a child picking up the stitch, but instead of making the (3S oer GX Se SS ao)! Cubase a X \ oN Fig.2.

The consequence was I could make one hole and draw it with the end of the thread, but, of course, could make no more. When the ‘shuttle is passed under the thread around the fingers the fin- gers must be spread and the thread held tightly around them. The mo- ment the shuttle comes up on the oth- er side the fingers must be relaxed and the shuttle thread held tightly. All the time, of course, the circie of thread around the hand is held firmly by the finger and thumb. The only way to do it is to try over and over again. Having once mastered this Initial difficulty, the rest is easy. For a simple trimming which can be used on the edge of tucks or ruffles stitch two rows of machine stitching about a quarter of an inch apart and the same distance from the edge. Then, with a contrasting color, or the same color as the goods of Roman floss or heavy mercerized cotton, run the threads diagonally through every other machine stitch, which should be long, in order to permit the thread to run through easily.—Good Housckeep- tng.

It was probably written at Rome (Hastings’ Bible dic- tionary), the name Babylon, in 5:13, probably referring to that city. It in very likely that Peter had come toRome to visit Paul in his imprisonment, and, as Siilyanus (Silas) was going to Asia Minor as Paul's delegate, the other apostle took advantage of the oppor- unig oe send Sle ipa aod ec aging exhortaticns to the Christians there who were in trouble. The letter floes not discuss doctrines, but is full of practical advice for everyday life. ‘The theme of the letter is “the true Christian in suffering.” “Arm ye yourselves also with the same mind:” The best protection tn the world against sin and temptation, suffering and despair, is a mind like Christ’s—serene, patient and unselfish. “He that hath suffered:” Suffering often acts like a purifying fire, consuming the dross of selfishness and sin in a human life. “Revellings:” The Greek word refers especially to village merrymak- ings, with which were associated the unrestrained Immoralities of heathen festivals. ‘The same excess of riot:” ‘The difficulty of living a pure Christian life in the midst of such vile surround- ings must have been much greater than to-day, Yet in many quarters wine-bib- bings, reveling and carousings are still popular, and we need to be reminded that such customs are utterly out of har- mony with ‘‘the mnd of Christ” and can- not be indulged in without serious con- sequences. We notice that indulgence in strong drink leads to the whole list of vices mentioned here. Its the moth- er of crimes and the breeder of vices. George Dana Boardman pointedly says: “As Bunyan’s Pilgrim is represented in the earlier portion of his journey as al- ways carrying upon his back a huge bundle of sins, so each traveler in the drunkard's broad road to death is bear- ing a great bundle of woes. Among them are losses of time, of talent, of pur- Ity, of a clean conscience, of self-respecé, of honor, of religion, of the soul. ‘The saloon darkens the family, obstructs business, arrests industry, {mpedes progress, deranges plans, estranges partners, undermines houses, lowers personal standing, debauches politics. It is the nurse of political dictators and lobbyists.” ‘The true substitute for the evil allure- ments of the saloon is cordial good- fellowship among Christian people— “paing fervent in your love among your- selves, and using hospitality.” When good people earnestly compete with the saloon in offering hospitality on a broad, democratic basis, then the evil institu- tion will be doomed. It thrives to-day less on the base appetites of men than on the human craving for comradeship, good-fellowship. Meanwhile let us be thankful that more and more the drinking man {s getting to be “the man for whom the world has no room;” that men whc arink are being forced out of employ- ment, because all railroads and great corporations, and many private employ- ers who hire men for positions of re- sponsibility and trust, will not risk their money, thefr property, and human lives as well, with men whose nerves are unsteadied, whose eyes are bleared and brains befogged by alcoholic drink. The most effective of all temperance legisla- tion is this rigid prohfbition which 1 rapidly becoming the law of our strenu- pus, modern business life. The only wort: that lasts is that which comes first in our lives. As soon as our pleasures begin to rule us we begin + gue them. _ PLEATED lect Mamma Wes Neutral. “The war with Spain has made the Jouth of this country very familiar with military terms,” said a Baltimore man at Willard’s recently. “The other day I heard a dialogue between my nine-year-old boy and his sister, aged 11, neither knowing that I was in the immediate vicinity. ‘The young man wasn’: behaving just right, and his sister, loring patience, cried out: “Pl give zou a good whipping.” “But you can't do it,’ replied her tormentor, tauntingly. “Then I'll cal! mamma to you.’ “Oh, no, you won't; mamma is a noncombatant.’"—Washington Post. It Would Seem So. “You will observe,” said the profes: sor, “the higher the altitude attained the colder the temperature becomes.” “But isn't it warmer up in the moun- tains?” asked the youth at the foot of the class. “Certainly not,” reptied the pro- fessor. “Why do you think it would be warmer there?” “I thought the atmosphcre was heat ed by the mountain ranges,” answered the youngster. — Chicago Evening News. li a ee een aa eee ; A man brought into a London police court recently on a charge of begging was in such a filthy condition that the magistrate adjourned court to the yard back of the court in order to try the case.

HE IS NINETY-TWO. = Mr. Nelson Fuller was born in Green county, Ga., during the year 1811. He ‘remained in that state until the civil war, During the first year of the war he was hired out to a miller, who kept him busy grinding corn and wheat for the southern army. After the war he went to Mississippi and remained there for four years. He then began working his way north, until he at length reached Missouri, in 1878 or 1879. He secured a position in the em- ploy of J. W. Wheeler, at that time overseer of street cleaners. He re- mained in the employe-of the street department until about two yars ago, when he became almost helpless. A son, Dock Neleon, attends to his wants. Mr. Fuller's advanced age prevents him from doing any work. He will sell newspapers for a living, ‘Those who wish to aid a worthy per- son will buy his newspapers. He is an agent of the St. Louis Palladium. His address is 2634 Baldwin street. A MOST REMARKABLE CHARAC- TER. Mr. Robert Johnson, of 209 South Fifteenth street, was born in 1815; therefore, was a slave 45 years. He passed through the civil war in the commissary department, and since that time, through friends, he has secured several good positions. In 1881 he was employed by the late Hon. John W. Turner, street commisstoner 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. Remember, he can not get out, but you can get The St. Louis Palladium by calling at his house, 209 South s fteenth street Williams & Head, Props, Pink Coat Bar, Fine Wines, Liquors and Cigars. _ POOL ROOM. .

I know no better way than to have this article published in your valuable paper. First, I want to say that He is one of the best and strongest friends the Negro has, and it will be through His direct teachings that much, if not all of this “color line” will be wiped out. It never existed in Zion city, for she knows neither color nor creed. They are all in Christ Jesus. That beautiful city is just a few days over two years old, yet she has a population of 10,000 and has 1,500, beautiful homes built there. I will now try to tell about Zion's polities. The citizens of Zion City. ‘Lake county, Ill, being assembled at oT a a: ty it a the night.Of Aprile, aoe ee ance ‘nf pose of nominating the first officer ‘o this city, did so in a theocratic plat- form, and gave this reason for forming their new party in political affairs o! the United States. They declared their loyalty to the constitution and laws of the United States, and said that both constitution ‘and laws are capable of amendment in ‘a theocratic direction, and they sim- ply purpose the advocating of such al- ‘terations in the way provided for by ‘the laws of the United Statés. ‘They also declared the motto of their party to be: “The Unalterable Truth; Where God Rules Man Prospers.” ‘Wherefore, thelr object was to establish the rule of God in every department of government by the free will of the peo- ple. They declared that the Holy Scripture, which contains the:ten com- mandments and the inspired Gospel of Jesus Christ, the son of God, consti- tutes principles of all righteous gov- ernment for the individuals and the nations of the world. Zion could not have taken any other step. Her leaders, under God, have not acted prematurely, but have acknowl- edged the absolute rule of God, and unfurled the banner of Zion in the field of politieal actions. In doing so, a fourth division has been added to the three great divisions into which the operations of the Christian Catholic church has hitherto been divided—the ecclesiastical, educational, commercial and political divisions. We do not use the word “political” in the sense in which it has formerly been used; which in many cases is equivalent to deceitful trickery and subservient to the interest of scheming politicians. Its true meaning is the honest and truthful promotion of pub- lic policy, which shall be for the good of all, and which provides for a right- cous administration of goveraments. ‘The purpose of our Lord Jesus Christ was to establish a kingdom of God in this world. It is true the kindom was to come from above and eventually overthrow all others and take the place of every other government on earth. It is spoken of in Daniel fi., 44: “In the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall sovereign ty thereof be left to another people, but shall break into pieces and consume all those kingdoms, and shall stand for- ever,” that is Zion, the kingdom of God, the restoration of all things that God has promised hereafter the re- storation of the kingdom of God, who at the beginning was the sole ruler of the earth and every creature thereon. Zion, therefore, does not deviate one jota in this political action from her own statements, Who can believe that it is God’s will that the government of the church, school, college and business interest of God's people should be in the hands of the world, the flesk and the devil? Neither can I believe that the munic- Ipal, county, state, national and world- wide interest of Zion should be left in the hands of those who are entirely in- different to the claims of God. ‘The establishment of the theocratic party is, therefore, simply the final establishment of division in Zion's work for God and humanity. Zion is using her influence as a polit- ical unit in such a way as to compel partizans to do right to the utmost ex- tent of her power, and keep them from doing Zion any wrong. ‘Zion's leader will never sell, for any amount of pat- ronage, the birthright of Zion, even where he is compelled to co-operate with parties whose policies he can ap- prove of only in part. For he, as a servant of the most high God, can not afford to betray His trust. It is needless to say that Zion pro- hibits the use of alcoholic liquors by her members, for she goes further than any prohibitionist would go, for it is embodied in the covenant of every year in Zion City that alcohol shall neither be made nor sold in the ten square miles which compose the city o! zion, and also prohibits the manufac- ture and sale of every deadly posion, such as morphine, cocaine and opium Neither does she permit evil traffic of any kind nor the use of any food that the Bible prohibits; from the scavengers of the ocean to the seaveng- ers of the land. : ‘The inclosed theater or gambling hells or any other evil thing will not be found in that city. Zion is held for God alone in per- petuity, as God demanded of Israel in ancient days. Of course, the intem- perate infidel and impure politician Will not approve of any such prog: gress, but Zion can do such, and will do it, to maintain her right and liberts everywhere, and open the gates and keep them open for the free and unfet- tered proclamation of the eternal cov. enant of which Goi has made Rey John Alex.
