Prof. Murray, in his address on the 13th inst. advised every young man to have a definite aim in life. A crowded house greeted Rev. Stephens, pastor of Central Baptist church, last Tuesday. "The Young Men and Their Opportunity" was his subject. He said: To be strong and overcome difficulties, one must be persistent. We can not always have what we want, but we should labor hard for it. Have high ideals." Capt. Tandy's advice to the young men was: "Make but few promises, but be sure and keep all those you make. Respect old age." Next Tuesday evening, in connection with the regular programme, there will be a "Spelling Bee," in which all are invited to enter. The words will be taken from the old-fashioned blue back speller, and a useful prize will be given the victor. Sunday, November 15, 2:30 p. m., the Association building will be dedicated under the auspices of the Masonic order. The Odeon, Grand and Finney avenues, has been secured, and on Monday, November 16, the famous Dumas Dramatic Club will present the four-act moral drama, "Past Redemption." The benefit will be given for the express purpose of reducing the main debt of the association. ```markdown ``` MUSEUM Y. M. C. A. NOTES. the Twenty-second ward in the post of fice.

See what the London papers say about Williams and Walker: SHAFTESBURY THEATER. The Hundred and Fiftieth Night of "In Dahomey." The Negroes have won a well-deserved success with the musical comedy. "In Dahomey," and the one hundred and fiftieth performance last night showed that the extraordinary vivacity, vigor and dash with which they introduced themselves to the London playgoer was not an exaggerated effort made for the occasion. As a matter of fact, their spirits seem to have risen since last we saw them. Certainly their voices have lost none of their power, and their dancing none of its lightness and quaintness. Practically the cast remains the same. The little lady who previously sang "Baby Mine" is replaced by Miss Ada Guignesse, whose voice is stronger, though hardly of such surprising sweetness as her predecessors. There is now a prologue, which helps to explain something of the story of the play, though it is still somewhat difficult to follow. But Mr. Bert A. Williams and Mr. Geo. W. Walker remain the great MEXICAN BUILDING-- WORLD'S FAIR "1904." ST.LOUIS,MO.,SATURDAY,OCTOBER 24,1903. ELECTRICITY BUILDING LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION ST. LOUIS, U.S.A., 1904 attractions of "In Dahoney," Mr. Williams is quite one of the cleverest comedians in London, and his son of "The Jonah Man" is irresistibly comic. There is, besides, Miss Aida Overton Walker, whose dancing is of a rare grace and neatness, and who has worked up her song, "An Actor Lady," into a compact burlesque. Last night a new Negro minuet was dropped into the piece, and found immediate favor. There were some new Colored faces in the chorus, too, and fresh scenery and dresses were introduced for the occasion, all of which the audience appreciated, and doubtless will continue to appreciate for a long time to come. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 18, 1903. J. W. Wheeler: Dear Sir—Please send The Palladium to me. Your paper is above all of them. Why is it that one J. D. Miller, or the Old Black Man, is always digging at The Palladium is an indirect way? All saloon men are making an honorable living, and if he did as well as they do, depend upon it. he would do well. I am, with respect. ALBERT O'NEAL The whereabouts of one George Henry Johnson, who lived in Concordia parish, La. He left there in 1872. We learn that he moved to East Baton Rouge, La.

It is without doubt the equal of any show that is now upon the stage. All acquitted themselves with high honors, and many a person was forced to laugh that had not smiled for years. Mr. James W. Grant was again at his best, and he put the play upon the stage that would do honor to any old stage manager. Mr. Byron was present, although quite aged. He still has that vim that characterizes the Byron family. THE PALLADIUM wants a good, industrious man to collect. Call at once. ```markdown ``` KEEP THE FLAG FLYING. St. Louis Palladium. J. W.

In the centuty just passed we have outstripped the nations of the earth. In six days 12,000 immigrants landed in New York. The year 1903 will easily break the record in the migration of Eu- rope to the United States. "The first Boer student who ever en- tered Cornell university, and one of the first delegation sent to this country from the universities of South Africa, has taken up graduate work at the Ithica in~ stitution, His name is Leopold Rein- ecke, and he hails from Wellington, Cape Colony. ‘A judge in Dallas, Texas, in sen- tencing a “masher” to a term in the penitentiary, said: ‘When you come ‘out you will be prepared to take off your hat to women and will keep your hands in your pockets.” It should be worth a term in jail just to be able to perform such a remarkable feat. ‘The Boston Herald reports that at a recent dinner an Englihsman asked a Haryard graduate how many states ‘there were in the union and he replied 43. A graduate of Yale confirmed the Harvard man’s statement. Of course, the graduates of other colleges know ‘without looking whether 48 is the num- an Who now has any fears as to what next winter will bring forth? The buck- ‘wheat crop is an immense one, and there fs enough Vermont maple sirup on hand to assure the proper trimmings for all the flapjacks that can be turned out. ‘Let joy be unconfined. Another great ‘American institution retains its grip un- relaxed on the heart, mind and stomach ‘of the country. ‘The annals of erime scarcely furnish ‘a more insoluble mystery than the double suicide which occurred at In- dianapolis. Two young men in good- health, close friends, of good habits, both with paying positions and enjoying the confidence of their employers, com- mitted sulcide within a few hours of each other without leaving the slightest clew to the cause. Whatever it was they took their secret with them. After serving in the marine corps for more than 45 years and for nearly 12 years at the head of that arm of the service, Maj. Gen. Charles Heywood has retired, having reached the age limit of 64 years. He was the only member of the marine corps who had the rank of major general, and when he laid down his command there was no officer in the United States army or navy on the active list who had more years of service to his credit than he. Permit us to indulge in a few cheers for the American hen, As a student of the census figures has shown, the poul- try and eggs produced and consumed in the United States last year were worth more than all the silver and gold mined in the world during the year. ‘The eggs and poultry product exceeds in value the wheat crop of 28 of the most productive states of the union, Let us honor the hen.. She is an im- portant member of American industrial society. Chief Justice Lore, of Delaware, who has taken such a decided stand against lynching, is opposed to capital punish- ment. “I would not take life for the commission of crime,” he says, “but would put the eriminal under such restraint as would protect the people and give him the fuli measure of his day to work out such penitence and reformation as all good influences might produce. Life is too sacred and too holy a thing to be taken. I would grant life so long as God spared each ‘one of His creatures.” ‘The superintendent of the Illinois re- formatory says, in a public address, that “lack of home life is responsible for most juvenile criminals, and that education is the keynote of reforma- tory training.” The statement regard- ing the lack of home life is undoubt- edly true, but that relative to educa- tion needs qualifying. There is noth- ing particularly reformatory in mere scholastic education. There must be education of the hands, the heart and ‘the conscience ag well. Surgeon Brice, of the White Star Hiner Germanic, holds a record which could never have been made by a liv- ing man but for modern invention. He has crossed the Atlantic as ship's sur- geon 804 times, traveling 2,500,000 miles, and hopes to rake 90) more trips. He may easily succeed.

This is a consoligation of the two churches in every respect and is per- manent. Rev. R. T. Caldwell, the Cum- berland Presbyterian pastor, and Rev. J. D. Murphy, the Presbyterian minis- ter, each will occupy the pulpit once on Sunday. ‘his is said to be the first practical step toward the union of the Cumberland Presbyterians with the mother church in the United States. The matter, however, has caused con- siderable discussion among the leaders of both churches for some time and ey- ery sign points to an early union na- tionally, in which event the consolidat- ed body will be called the Presbyterian Church of America. That has been agreed upon by committees from the two churches. Mr. Caldwell and his congregation hed assurances of the warmest approval by leading authori- ties among the Cumberland Presby- terian church, state and nationally, in the local proposition for the union. The Cumberland Presbyterian sepa- rated from the mother church in 1810 because they thought it leaned too strongly toward the doctrine of fatal- fsm, but the leaders of the seceding church now declare since the Presby- terians have revised their confession of faith there is practically no difference between the two branches. St. Louis Schools Exhibit. ‘As education is to occupy a mere prominent part in the Louisiana Pur- chase exposition than at any of the previous events of its kind, Superin- tendent L. Louis Soldan of ihe St Louis pulftic schools is desirous that the display of that city surpass all other similar exhibits. In furtherance of this desire, the superintendent of in- struction presented to the board of e1- ucation an outline of a plan for a World’s fair exhibit, which was ac- cepted. The plan calls for the expendi- ture of $25,000, but the board did not hesitate at spending this sum when the reputation of St. Louis, the beauty of its schools and the display of the chil- dren’s talents were at stake. ‘The space alloted for the St. Louis public school exhibit is one of the best in the palace of education. The general aim of the exhibit fs to give to visitors and stu- dents a complete and systematic view of the work actually done by the pubic schools of the city and their adminis- trative and financial condition. Noth- ing merely decorative will be admitted to this exbibit. Everything nist tend to show actual facts, and the mode of presenting these facts must be graphic and artistic.

The wadding inflicted a laceration two inches long and an inch deep. Owens was carried from the stage and taken to the city dispensary. Dr. Humphrey, who treated Owens, advised that ne be taken to the city hospital 1or antitoxin treatment to prevent the development of tetanus, but Owens refused’ co re- main in St. Louis and went to Chicago with the company. Woman Lawyer In Supreme Conet. ‘The first woman lawyer to appear in the Missouri supreme court to argue a case is Miss Gratia Woodside, of Salem, Dent county, who appeared in the case of Harrison vs. Young,representing the respondent. The case was dismissed for failure of the attorney for the ap- pellant to file a brief, thus permitting Miss Woodside to win her case with- out an oral argument. Miss Woodside is a practicing attorney of Dent county. She is a daughter of Judge Woodside. a Daniel Fiynn, of Davenport, Ia., tried to kill himself with arsenic at the depot at Sturgeon, but was prevented by by-standers.

He then went a mile east of town and, after taking off his clothing, drowned himself in a creek. Killed Himself tn Jail. John Williams, colored, who was ar- rested on suspicion of having murdered Mrs, Kate Laumaa at Normandy, com- mitted suicide in the jail at Clayten by strangling himself with a blanket.

It was Nor- ton{’s first big criminal case. The pre- hiebiaary hearing was before ‘Squire William Bennett at Callao. The us- {tice was old ani somewhat hard of shearing. The gravity of the action ‘suggested the calling in of the other Justice of the towaship, F. M. Keys, a ‘much younger man Almost every res- ‘dent of Puzzle Ridge district, where ‘the accused lived, came to see ‘he law- suit. Nearly every question the pros- ecuting attorney asked the witness was ‘objected to by the energetic lawyer for the defense. By and by the prosecut- ing attorney called Pearl Morrow, who hed been arrested with Wilson as ac- cessory, but who was willing to turn ‘state's evidence. ‘The flery young law- yer for the defendant was on his feat jn an instant, denouncing the state’s move. “I am certsin your honors will not permit this,” he said, indignantly. “No court in the land would tolerate such an illegal proceeding, let alone a ‘double-header such as we have here.” ‘There was a lov laugh among the spectators, and though ‘Squire Bennet! ‘didn’t catch the term, he guessed that something reflecting on the court's dis- ‘nity had Leen uttered. So he whispere’ to his associate justice, and the tvo went out to an ante-room ‘o talk it Jover privately. The court deliberatea half an hour and then came bark. “Mr. Nortoni” said 'Squife Bennett, “I un- [derstand you just now referred to my jeolleasue and myself as a ‘double. ‘header.’ Will you please explain what you meznt by that?” The appellation was a trifle flippant, and Nortoni ap- preciated the seriousness of the situa- ‘tion for his client if he did not right himself. He was ready, however. “It’s a railroad term, your honor,” he said, “signifying double strength. When they make up a big train in the yards, and one engine can’t haul it over the road, they hook cn another one. In- stead of one there are two furnaces under the boilers, two safety valves popping off and two stacks throwing out smok2 and fire and cinders. A double-header always moves what it’s hitched up to; it always gets there; nothing stops it; {t's infallible.” Some- thing akin to a siile spread over the aged jurist’s face.

WILL GO AFTER HIM TO-DAY wanted For Bribery and Ferlery— Cireult Attorney Folk Notified and Instructed That Fugitive Will Be Held TiN Officer Arrives. Guadalajara, Mex., Oct. 23—Cnarles Kratz, the fugitive from St, Louis, ua- Ger indictment for bribery and perjury, was arrested, Thursday, ard 1s he: for extradition, under orders from the ted- eral government, at the City of Mes: ico. He was arrested by policemen under Ignacio Caravantes, inspector-general de policia of Guadalajara. Technically, Kratz its under “pro- visional detention,” which means that he is to be kept in prison pending fur- ther orders from the federal govern- ment. ‘The arrest is the result of the for- mal request from Secretary Hay at Washington on the Mexican govern ment, made through Ambasiador Pow- cll Clayton, after the agreement had been reached between the two govera- ments that the supplemental treaty making bribery an extraditable offense should be retroactive, and the United States had promised to reciprocate. It is understood here that Kratz will now be held until the arrival of St. Louis officers bearing papers from Washington certifying their authority to take the prisoner in the name ot the United States. The Mexican gov- ernment will then guarantee them safe conduct with their charge to the bor- der. Kratz was greatly shocked by his ar- rest. Senor Fernando Castanos, who has been his attorney ever since he came to Guadalajara, was nouifed. Kratz’s friends say Senor Castanos will fight the extradition in the cowts. Notified of Kratz’s Arrest. Circuit Attorney Folk received from the state department at Washington at 8:15 o'clock Thursday notification of the arrest of Charles Kratz at Guada- lajara, Mexico. This is the text of the message: “State's Attorney Folk, St. Louis— Mexican foreign office notified am- bassador Kratz is arrested in Guada- lajara. Extradition papers must be made out within 30 days. “VAN DIVE.” Van Dive is the United States gov- ernment extradition official. ‘Wanted For Bribery and Perjury. Charles Kratz is wanted in St. Louis on charges of bribery and perjury, for both of which alleged offenses he has been indicted. He 1s charged with having been instrumental in securing the passage of the Suburban railway franchise ordinance, better known as the central traction bill, through the city council. Kratz was a member of the counell at the time this bill was pending, and received money for his vote and in- fluence. He was indicted for perjuring himself in testifying before the grand jury. Kratz was first placed under $5,000 bond, but later additional indictments were returned against him, and he re- turned from Florida to make arrange- ments for increasing his bond to §20,- 000, He demurred against this increase at the time, alleging that it was an intimation on the part of the authori- ties that he was planning to leave the country. Shortly after he had given satis- factory security for the $20,000 he dis- appeared, and it devoloped that he had leit indemnity checks, so that his bondsmen were not losers as a result of his flight. Later it was learned that he was in Guadalajara. Expects Kratz Back In Ten Days. Mr. Folk expects to have Kratz back in St. Louis within ten days. The papers necessary for the extradition are all in the state's attorney's posses- sion, and he will dispatch a man this morning to Mexico for Kratz. ‘The papers were signed in St. Louis by Gov. Dockery and the local officials some weeks ago and were then for- warded to Washington, There the nec- essary signatures of the federal offi- cials were attached and the papers re- turned. They are now in the state’s attorney's safe, Mr. Folk has not yet selected the person who will be intrusted with the carrying of the extradition papers to Mexico and with the returning of Kratz. He may delegate anyone he de- sires for this work, but the selection will probably be made from among the detectives or the deputy sheriffs. Only one man will be sent. Mr. Folk said he entertained no fear that any legal proceeding which Kratz might institute could prevent or delay his return to the United States. He said the fact that Kratz had become a citizen of Mexico did not help him, since one is cbliged to have been a citizen of that country two years be- fore he can bring habeas corpus pro- ceedings.

The KIDNAPPED MILLIONAIRES A Tale of Wall Street and the Tropics By FREDERICK U. ADAMS Copyright, 1901, by Lothrop Publishing Company. All rights reserved. CHAPTER XXIV.—CONTINUED. Before Chalmers could say a word, Capt. Waters opened the door and went away. It was as Capt. Waters said. Hesior was in a hospital. A bullet had plowed its way along the left side of his head, barely missing the temple. The skull was slightly fractured, and there had been a hemorrhage from the brain. When conscious, the patient was wildly descious. Chalmers left instructions that everything should be done for his comfort. The hospital physicians gave little hope. Chalmers secured the best medical talent in New Organs and wired the facts to a famous New York specialist. He then repaired his companions at the hotel. The afternoon papers contained accounts of the tragedy, and related the story of the surrender of Capt. Waters. Before leaving for New York, a conference was held in Sidley Hammond's room. It was the consensus of opinion that Capt. Waters had acted in good faith, and but he was not deserving of pun- CAPT. WATERS OPENED THE DOOR AND WENT AWAY. ishment. Sidney agreed to obtain bail for him, and for the other officers of the "Shark." On Monday bail was fixed at $10,000 for Capt. Waters, and at $5,000 each for the arrested officers. Mr. Hammond furnished the necessary securities and was accepted as bondsman. For a time Capt. Waters refused to accept bail. He preferred to stand punishment. Sidney argued with him for a long time. He explained that it might be months before a trial would be held. Capt. Waters finally consented to accept bail. He went to a hotel near the jail, and reported regularly three times a day at police headquarters. No argument could convince him that this was not the right thing to do. Col. John McIntyre was the sole passenger on the "Helen Carmody" when she steamed past the forts and out into the Gulf of Mexico. In his big leather pocketbook was a check bearing the signature of Andrus Carmody. The amount was entirely satisfactory to Col. McIntyre. The homecoming of the marooned millionaires was an event never to be forgotten by those who participated in or witnessed it. It began at New Orleans. A special train from New York, containing hundreds of relatives and friends dashed into the Crescent city early the following morning. Those who have followed the events portrayed in these pages can imagine the joy of the greeting between the lost ones and those they loved. Great crowds surrounded the hotel, and would not be satisfied until the principals appeared on the balcony. The mayor made a speech and introduced eath man in ten. Sidney Hammond received anotion as he stepped forward; one sleeve of his coat hung vacant at his side. Nor was the greeting to Bernard Seymour less cordial. There were repeated calls for Miss Carmody, and when that young lady appeared on the arm of her father, the demonstration reached its climax. In a remote part of the city, white-robed nurses hovered over a man whose staring eyes showed no gleam of sanity. His head was in bandages and he muttered in coherent phrases as he tossed in a fever of delirium. Among those who greeted the returned castaways at New Orleans was Robert Van Horne, editor of the Record, who arrived in New York in time to take the special train south. Mr. Van Horne did not return to New York with the happy throng. He brought with him three of the most famous specialists in the country, and soon stood at the bedside of Walter B. Hestor. Mr. Van Horne alone knew the recent history of the man who now hovered between life and death. He gave the physicians the essential facts in the case. A year or more before Hestor had been injured in China. While conducting an expedition into the interior of that country his party had been ambuscaded, and in the melee which followed Hestor was knocked senseless by a blow on the forehead, delivered with great force by some blunt instrument. The attacking Tartars were driven off. The immediate effects of the blow were slight, but several months later Hestor had a severe attack of acute traumatic meningitis, from which he apparently fully recovered after a long illness. Later he complained to Mr. Van Horne that his head troubled him. He explained some strange symptoms and was much wrorried. Acting on Mr. Van Horne's advice, Hestor consulted a specialist in brain diseases. He was informed that in all probability a clot of blood from a ruptured blood vessel had formed and was pressing against the brain tissue. Hestor agreed to submit to an operation, but postponed it and went on another cruise. He suffered no further attack, and the incident was forgotten by Mr. Van Horne. It was vividly recalled when Chalmers wired his suspicions. An examination at the hospital disclosed the fact that the Seymour bullet had plowed its course past the point where Hestor had sustained the blow some 14 months before. Without going into details of surgery, it is sufficient to say that the gun shot wound exposed and partially relieved the blood clot; the existence of which had been suspected. It was successfully removed. For a month Hestor hovered on the border line, and then slowly moved away from the danger point. Sidney Hammond and Mr. Van Horne alternated in remaining in New Orleans until he was on the road to recovery. Hestor had no recollection of events subsequent to the Chinese expedition. In his delirium he imagined himself at the head of his men in that faraway Celestial empire. When he awoke from this fantasy, clothed in his right mind, he recognized Sidney Hammond and greeted him with a pleased but mystified smile. "How came you here, dear old fellow?" he asked as he reached out a wasted hand. "What are you doing in China? What is the matter with me? Ah, I remember now! That pig-tailed beggar hit me on the head. But where did you come from, Sidney?" Sidney made a non-committal answer and warned Hestor that he must not talk or disturb himself in any way until he regained his strength. During the period of convalescence Hestor's curiosity was too great to be denied, and Sidney evolved a wonderful fabrication, which gave a rational explanation of how Hestor happened to be in New Orleans, rather than in some city of the flowery kingdom. It was apparent Hestor did not believe or understand this statement; but like all invalids, he was compelled to accept with the best possible grace what was offered him. The physicians in charge of the case prepared a statement in which it was set forth that Mr. Hestor had been suffering from a clearly-defined attack of amnesia, preceded by a period of mild dementia. It possessed many remarkable features, but was by no means unprecedented. "Do you believe his recovery a permanent one, doctor?" asked Sidney, anxiously. "Quien sabe?" replied Dr. Brown. "There is no reason why it should not be a permanent one. The cause is removed, and Hestor is now apparently in full possession of his faculties. He is a strong, healthy man, and there is no taint of insanity in his family. The truth must be kept from him until he has entirely regained his physical strength. He should take a long ocean cruise, in company with some one in whom he has complete confidence. That means you." When these facts were explained to Mr. Morton and his associates, they were unanimous in a decision to take no legal steps against Mr. Hestor, or against Capt. Waters. They were satisfied to await Hestor's complete recovery, and were confident that he would make honorable amends when acquainted with the facts. One afternoon Sidney informed Hestor that the physicians had advised an ocean cruise, and that he would be permitted to go on board the "Shark" in about two weeks. Hestor urged that he should go to New York and attend to certain business affairs. This was not listened to, and it was finally arranged that Hestor give Mr. Hammond power of attorney to look after such matters as required attention. Mr. Van Horne took Sidney's place while the latter was in New York. All of Mr. Restor's property was in interest-bearing securities, and these required little or no attention. Mr. Chalmers had not made public his suspicions concerning Hestor's Wall street operations, neither had any statement been made by Mr. Morton or others. Sidney found a record of the various transactions in a safety deposit vault. He then called on Street & Rogers and presented his credentials. Their books showed that Walter B. Hestor had a credit of $32,000,000. He had originally purchased 700,000 shares of stock, and had issued instructions which had been strictly carried out. The money was due from various banks, trust companies, commission and brokerage houses. Street & Rogers had decided not to force payments, fearing to disturb the money market. Mr. Hammond indorsed this course and instructed them to gradually convert the credits into interest-bearing securities. Thus it happened, one fine September afternoon, that the steam yacht "Shark" sailed down the river from New Orleans, destined for the waters of the South Pacific. On board were Walter B. Hestor, Sidney Hammond, L. Sylvester Vincent and Bernard Seymour. Mr. Vincent and Mr. Seymour were present at Mr. Hammond's invitation, and Hestor was delighted with his new acquaintances. Vincent had a wonderful venture on hand which demanded his presence in southern waters, and Mr. Seymour proposed to gather the materials for a book, which, he asserted, "would make them all sit up nights." And on the deck of the "Shark," with Capt. Waters once more in command, this narrative will leave them. The later events in the lives of these characters must be relegated to some future chapters. It may be said in closing that the doors of the Carmody mansion were not closed to Mr. William Chalmers, managing editor of the New York Record. [THE END.] Wrote Book While Waiting for Wife, Madame de Genlis, in a work on "Time," tells us that the famous Chancellor D'Aguesseau, observing that his wife always delayed 10 or 12 minutes before she came down to dinner, and, reluctant to lose so much time daily, began the composition of a work which he prosecuted only while thus kept waiting. At the end of 15 years, a book in three quarto volumes was completed, which ran through three editions, and was held in high repute. Madame de Genlis profited by this example. Having to wait at the dinner hour in the Palais Royal for Madame de Chartres, who was always 15 or 20 minutes late, she utilized the time by copying a selection of poems from eminent authors. It is told of a German critic that he could repeat the entire "Iliad" of Homer with scarcely an error. How many years, think you, did he spend in depositing the immortal epic in his brain? Years he had not to spare, or months, or weeks, or even entire days, for he was a physician in the full tide of practice; but he contrived to store in his memory the 24 books of the old bard of "Sioio's rocky isle" in the brief, disconnected snatches of time while hurrying from one patient to another. Dr. Mason Good, a celebrated English physician, performed a similar feat, having contrived to translate the whole of Lucretius during his long walks in London to visit his patients.—William Mathews, in Success. H. Was an Irishman. A fine specimen of the bull is to be credited to Sir Thomas Myles, an eminent Irish surgeon and an expresident of the College of Surgeons in Ireland. He made it in the course of a speech delivered at the meeting of the Solicitors' Apprentices' Debating society in Dublin. The subject of the address was "Ceeil Rhodes." Sir Thomas paid a high tribute to the force of character, the spirit of personal independence, and the indomitable courage of Englishmen. He pictured the British empire as having been in danger at the time of the late war, and asked with emphasis, "Was England to stand with her arms folded and her hands in her pockets?" When he realized from the attitude of his audience what he had done, he observed that his only apology was that he was an Irishman.—London News. Spoke From Experience A man who tried to uphold all his statements with the prop of personal experience is pretty sure sooner or later to find himself in difficulties. "What kind of posts should you say I'd better have for my piazza?" asked a summer resident of the oracle of Bushville. "Cedar?" "No," was the instant reply; "not 'less you want to pay for poor stuff. Git pine. Pine will last ye a hundred years." "Are you sure?" asked the summer resident, doubtfully. "Sure!" echoed the oracle. "I never state a thing without I can prove it. I've tried 'em both. Tried 'em twice on my south porch, I tell ye!"—Youth's Companion. Those Who Boost. Newcome—They tell me hens never lay eggs at night. Did you know that? Subbubs—Oh! yes. "Strange, isn't it?" "Not at all. All the hens are roosters at night, you know."--Philadelphia Press. One Trouble. "Of course," sold Nuritch, self- complacently, "it's something to be a self-made man, but then it's got its drawbacks." "That's so," replied Peppery. "You can't blame it on anybody else, for instance."-Philadelphia Prog. YOULHS' DEPARTMENT GRANDMA'S HOUSE. FIGURES IN DIRECTORY How a Dog's Name Came to Be Inserted Among Those of the Citizens of Pueblo, Col. There is a name in the Pueblo (Col.) city directory that would never have been printed had the directory canvasser known the owner—but he didn't—and on page 401 is the following: "Mentzel, Waldmann Lynn, bds. 515 West Abdiendo ave." Since the publication of the directory the owner of this distinguished name has moved. He now resides at 317 East Evans avenue, and does the same there as he did at the former residence—just boards. "Waldmann Mentzel," he can't be called a dog, for "Waldmann" is too aristocratic, too intelligent, too much loved by his owner to be spoken of so vulgarly. But "Waldmann," nevertheless, is a dog, a Dachshund, and his full title is Herr Waldmann Lynn Mentzel. This aristocratic pet is the property of Mrs. Alfred F. B. Mentzel, and she thinks the world of him, always referring to "Herr Waldmann" as a "retired gentleman of (Koeln) Cologne." He was born of the gold-medal winner, Alex, at the Cologne bench show. "Herr Waldmann" was called "Alex" when first notice was taken of him at the kennels of Baron Hauserman's villa by H. Johnson, of Cleveland, O., but later Mr. Johnson changed his name to Herr Waldmann. After Mr. Johnson had traveled through Italy, France, Spain and England with Herr Waldmann as his puppy companion he brought him to his home in Cleveland. From Cleveland to Milwaukee Herr Waldmann was taken by Mrs. Johnson and there given as a present to Mrs. Mentzel. Herr Waldmann is nine years old. He has quite a record as a prize winner, getting first money at the Cologne bench show in the puppy class when but six months old; $25 prize at Cleveland bench show, when two years old, A dog sitting on a stool. HERR WALDMANN. and $20 prize at the Milwaukee dog show four years ago. Herr Waldmann is, as far as known, the only dog whose name has ever appeared in a city directory. The Dachshund is kind and affectionate in disposition, and much attached to the family where he makes his home, particularly so to Mrs. Mentzel, who prizes him very high. And how does it happen that Herr Waldmann has his name in the directory when immunity from the dog catcher was heretofore considered as much of a privilege as any canine was entitled to? It was early last spring when the directory canvasser called at the home of A. W. Lynn, superintendent of the Pueblo and Suburban Lighting and Traction company. He wanted the names of everybody in the house, and Mrs. Mentzel, who is the daughter of Superintendent Lynn, gave all the members of the family, "Is that all?" asked the directory canvasser. Mrs. Mentzel, not forgetting her Dachshund, gave the directory man Herr Waldmann's name, occupation, address, etc. And that is how the dog's name got into the directory.

THE AMERICAN MAGPIE. It Makes Just as Amusing and Clever a Pet as His Better-Known English Cousin. I first made the acquaintance of the magpie many years ago in England, where the bird is a historical character, ranking with the English robin, the blue heron and the peregrine falcon. In fact, in the days of falconry, the magpie was often hawked for in open, bush-studded country, its strikingly marked plumage enabling the spectators to easily follow the progress of the sport. Unfortunately, this wonderfully interesting and decorative bird is not found in the eastern part of the United States, but in the west he is represented by two species, the black-billed and the yellow-billed magnes. The black-billed magpie is about 20 inches long, including his tail, which takes up rather more than half the total length. The greater part of his plumage is glossy black, with bronzy metallic reflections, but the lower breast and belly are white, and the scapulars, being also white, form two conspicuous patches on the wings. Long streaks of white on the inner veins of the primary feathers show most conspicuously when the bird is in flight. Altogether he is one of the most striking birds to be seen in North America. That he has not been exterminated is no doubt largely due to his intelligence, for, like his relatives, the crow and the jay, he is bold enough to take advantage of everything which is useful without being dangerous, but crafty enough, as a rule, to keep out of trouble. Another point in his favor is that he can eat almost anything, and, all things being equal, the animal which can eat the greatest variety of food will survive the longest. In the winter he will eat literally anything, including carrion, and whatever he can steal from his neighbors. In the spring he fares sumptuously, his bill of fare being a long one, and including mice and other small mammals, small birds, birds' eggs and young birds, crawfish and numerous insects; in the summer he does the farmer a good turn by eating grasshoppers and grubs and a very destructive black cricket, and in the fall he pays himself by stealing such fruit as he can get away with without being shot. At most times of the year he is a noisy fellow, squawking loudly over AN AMERICAN MAGPIE. everything he does and everything he sees, and alarming the game whi the hunter has been patiently stalkir for hours perhaps. But in the nesting season it is different; he has not a word for anyone. He has a secret, and he guards it with all the caution which characterizes the entire crow family. The nest itself is a huge structure, as large as a bushel basket, perhaps, built among thorns or other bushes or in small trees, sometimes quite close to the ground, and at other times 15 of 20 feet up. Externally it consists of a mass of coarse sticks, but inside of this is the nest proper, which is made of mud and lined with softish materials, such as grass and hair and rootlets. The eggs, usually seven in number, generally have a grayish ground color, but are so heavily blotched with brown that the gray is sometimes difficult to find. The young birds are knowing little rascals, and are often taken from the nest and reared as pets. They are naturally inquisitive, and, finding that they have nothing to fear, they examine everything which interests them about the house or garden, and any small object which especially attracts them they carry off and hide. When in search of amusement they will bring such objects out of their hiding places and play with them, hiding them again when they become tired. They take great pleasure in teasing the dogs, cats and other domestic animals by stealing their food and by pecking them when they are asleep, and wild animals, such as foxes, raccoons and wolves, must be equally annoyed to have attention called to their presence by chattering magpies. They will alight on the backs of cattle and help rid them of whatever insects they may be troubled with, and with equal coolness they will steal and kill the young chickens which may have strayed from under the watchful eye of their mother.—Boston Herald. Levies Kittens Behind Him. A new sort of scoundrel has developed in New London, Conn. He's a man who seems possessed of a mania for collecting kittens and dropping them at houses in different sections of the city. The fellow goes about with a bag full of kittens and deposits but one at a house. Perhaps he runs a kitten incubator. If he does, he ought to be compelled to dispose of its product where it is wanted. The fellow has been on several of the principal streets dropping kittens here and there. No explanation of his curious habit has as yet been given. J. M. H. Dorsey Wood, Coal & Ice.

Is there any real danger in the accumulation of great riches in the hands aire be regarded in any sense as a "a new peril"? Probably not. In the first place, the man who has amassed large sums of money himself seldom or never squanders it. He knows its value toc well; he must be a good business man to have become rich, and good business men do not play ducks and drakes with what they have hardly carned. There would seem indeed to be only one dangerous form of multi-millionaire, and that is the man who uses his wealth for political objects. He can, or he can try to, smash a constitution. He can organize and he can bribe. He can make men rich or poor. But he cannot do so everywhere, and he is not a danger to a state possessing a sound legislature and governed by sound men. He might be a danger, perhaps, to a ring-fence community such as, according to the London Spectator, South Africa contained before the war, but he could never be a danger in a community better organized. The best men—the men who alone could forward or thwart his political projects—would be neither allured nor frightened by his money. --- St, Louis Palladi LOUIS Falleaiim, PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY.

Bob Ingersoll once said: “No party ean reform itself.” We hear weak- need republicans say that they will vote for Folk for governor of this state. Our answer to that is: “You Anow Folk is a democrat, and as such he can not reform the party that gave him the position of prosecuting attor- ney. If Mr. Folk is sincere, why don’t he give some aid in opening the ballot boxes of this city? They will show that neither he nor any other democrat was elected when he took office. If Mr. Folk is sincere, why doesn’t he attend to the St. Louis affairs, and not be a persecutor of Charles Kratz, who is now beyond his or any other law. No party can reform itself. Folk is a democrat, and therefore no good can come out of him. Folk has as much show to be elected governor of Mis- souri as the devil has of commanding the holy force of Heaven.

PEDTHCOAT LOGAN, the supposed editor of the Professional World, is out again, “chewing the rag” about the Grand Lodge and The Palladium.

Prelates from many cities were on hand to do reverence to the memory of their departed colleague, and every clergyman in the archdiocese, headed by the youthful Archbishop Glennon, who was physically able to, was present. P LATE ARCHBISHOP JOHN J. KANE. Thousands came to get a glimpse of the cathedral, and of those who were there, and the historic locality, the scene of earlier history in St. Louis, was congested. Probably twenty archbishops and bishops were on hand, as was his ennence, Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore. In the darkened edifice, relieved only by the subdued light of the many candles, a hush preceded the solemn ceremonies, which, later, gave way to the alternate singing of the requiem and the chanting of the seminarians in the choir gallery. JAMES, CARDINAL GIRBONS. the eloquence of Archbishop Keane, once rector of the Catholic university, was loaned for the occasion to pronounce the panegyric on the departed prelate, whose sufferings in the sanitarium at Baltimore were the object of prayerful solicitude on the part of the faithful. His eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, celebrated pontifical mass of requiem, supported by one of the most brilliant arrays of prelates and priests seen in St Louis since the celebration of Archbishop Kenrick's jubilee. ARCHBISHOP GLENNON. The funeral cortege, led by a squadron of mounted police, was made up of delegations of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Catholic Knights, the various sodalities and other church societies, and an almost innumerable procession of carriages bearing the prelates, local and visiting clergy. Calvary cemetery, where the interment took place, was a mass of humanity by the time the cortege arrived, thousands taking advantage of the beautiful Indian summer day to witness the last sad rites over the remains of the dead prelate. Held Up by Highwayman. St. Louis, Oct. 22.—Attorney and Mrs. Charles T. Noland were victims of a lone highwayman, who held them up and robbed Mr. Noland of jewelry valued at $1,000, on Catalpa avenue, near the Suburban tracks, at 8:40 o'clock Tuesday night. WILL Compete For the Prize. San Francisco Oct. 22—Dr. August Greth, who invented an airship which he successfully navigated at San Francisco, will participate in the St. Louis World's fair airship contest for a $109,000 prize. FOR SUNDAY READING When mild thy common days God sends thee one. A day whose radiance of earth and sun is mated to thy soul's responsive mood. And tranq with open eyes seest all things good; When the Lord speaks to thee in flower and bird, And opens up to thee His hidden word, And grants the long-held answer to thy prayer. A day when suddenly thou art aware Of truth's own message to thy heart reeves And pains to thy lips by love unsealed; Oh, then give thanks and praise, for come what may. The Holy Ghost hath shared thy life, one day. When thy new speech thy brother doth of- fend And thou art but a dreamer to thy friend— Then, as thou seekest comfort from thine own And thou thou art left with God alone, Rejoices with joy that none shall take away, For thou hast shared the life of Christ, one day. -Ellen Hamlin Butler, in Congregationalist. RAILWAYS AND SABBATH REST One Great System Finds It Profitable to Give Its Employes One Day in Seven. The cause of Sabbath rest has been injured in years past by the running of Sunday trains, which necessitated and endless chain of Sunday labor. It will rejoice everybody who is interested in this reform to learn that it is now being strengthened by the railways themselves, which in times past have done so much to weaken it. The principal officials of the big trunk lines have long appreciated the fact that it was business wisdom to give a man one-seventh of his time for recuperation and that of all vocations this is more true of the railway service than of almost any other. Where Sunday traffic has been largely suspended more work has been actually accomplished in six days than was formerly done in seven, and even the rolling stock of the roads seemed to show the benefit of complete cessation from toll. The result was no perceptible decrease in earnings, but a decided decrease in wrecks. Considerations of this nature, no doubt, have led the officials of the great Chicago & Northwestern system to notify all of its connecting lines of other railways that Aereafter no "dead freight" will be received by that company on Sundays between seven a. m. and seven p. m. As a consequence, says the Ram's Horn, fully 6,000 of the men employed in the operation of freight trains on the Northwestern system spend their day of rest at home, and the general officers of the company do the same. According to the latter the innovation of providing a Sunday at home for employees of the operating department has proved a great success. One of the officials says: "Reports received from all over the system show that the men appreciate the rest, and go to their work Monday in a happy frame of mind and ready to hustle. We do not experience any inconvenience from reducing freight movement to live stock, perishable ships and fuel, and find that we are in good shape Monday morning. We do not see why the plan cannot be followed from this on, and believe that it will result in benefit to our men and to the company, as well." On all branch or "country" divisions of the system scarcely any trains are moved, and on the main line divisions the movement is reduced by at least 60 per cent. In the terminals of the company at Chicago and other large cities fewer freight engines are at work on Sunday than at any time in the last 40 years. When all the railways of the country follow this splendid example 1,000,000 toilers will be released from seven-day bondage. If something now could be done to suppress the screech of the Sunday newspaper we might dare hope that the delightful days were returning when the Sabbath of our fathers, with its restful quiet, could be enjoyed once more. RELIGIOUS TRUTHS Don't wait for great things; for while you wait the door to the little ones may close.—Galax Leaf. Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.—Emerson. The surest method of arriving at a knowledge of God's eternal purposes about us is to be found in the right use of the present moment.—F. W. Faber. The mark of a saint is not perfection, but consecration. A saint is not a man without faults, but a man who has given himself without reserve to God.—B. F. Westcott. Pause, you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorn or flowers, that never would have bound you but for the formation of the first link of one memorable day.—Charles Dickens. If we knew the secrets of the lives of those—alas innumerable—who seem to have no real apprehension of anything, none of the light which it is said light-eneth every man that cometh into the world, it would probably be found that they have not been born without, but have forfeited their noblest human heritage by repeated practical denials of the things which they have seen.—Coventry Patmore. A SCHOOL OF HAPPINESS. Advice to Founder of Unique Institution in London-Spiritual Life Cannot Be Ignored. Dr. Paul Valentin is about to establish a school of happiness in the great city of London. The school includes a course of lectures, and of course it must have its organ, so there will be a publication called "The Normal Life." The school should certainly have a large number of students, for it must be confessed that the seekers after happiness form the largest army in this unhappy world. And the difficulty is that most of these seekers seem to feel that the possession of one thing or another is all that is needed to complete happiness. If there is one who can teach an unwilling world that possession is not happiness, that being is greater than having, he will do the world a great and lasting service. This was just what Jesus tried to do, and has been seeking to do through all these years, says the Baptist Union, both by the teaching of His faithful servants, and yet more by the wonderful Word which He left behind—the record of His own sayings. It was He who said that a man's life did not consist in the things which he possessed. But not even His own followers all believe that; indeed, if one were to know the truth, it would have to be admitted that the large part of His own people do not readily accept this part of His doctrine. For saints and sinners are on the "make," everywhere; seeking to "get," more than they are seeking to be, or seeking to do. The whole cry of the Gospel was to an age that was wearied in the search for the golden fleece, the possession of which was supposed to complete the circle of happiness in the world. They had not found it, they never would find it—and in despair they were committing suicide, by order of the sages and philosophers! It was Jesus who cried to men, saying: "If any man thirst, let him come to Me and drink!" And he said to them that if they came and drank they should have no other thirst, wandering desires would cease, and the complete satisfaction of the happy life would be theirs. But they heeded Him not then, and they will not heed Him now. If the founder of this new school of happiness wishes a subject for his first lecture, or for the opening of the institution, he can find it in no better place than that portion of the Sermon on the Mount which urges him to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness—which is the outer gateway to happiness, the only door! It is a cheering sign to read the following from a secular paper, the writer of which evidently realizes some things in his own life which he is not unwilling to express in the columns of a paper like "Harper's Weekly." "That an intelligent, civilized man should find a permanent measure of positive happiness without some basis of religion to support him does not accord with expectation. If the London professor tries to conduct a school of happiness without including a certain kind of religious instruction, his work will necessarily be superficial, and fall of the best results. He may teach manners. He may teach the greedy the folly of over-eating, and the bibulous the folly of over-drinking. He may teach husbands to be civil to their wives, and vice versa. He may lay stress on the importance of keeping expenditures well within incomes, on the need of work for the idle, and of altruism for the selfish. All that is important, and may be helpful. But the spirits of thinking people have got to be satisfied in some way if they are to be happy. Nature gives us cravings—hunger and thirst to insure due care for the body, mental aspirations to insure activity of the mind, spiritual aspirations to insure something else. If the mind rusts we grow dull, and can't have much fun. Neither can we be happy if the cravings of the spirit find no response." The truth is that happiness is never found in the seeking. It is an inner possession—we carry it with us, or we never get it. And it is likewise true that it is not a possession which comes through earthly channels; it is the spiritual life that only can measure happiness, and that spiritual life can be touched by none other than the infinite—God Himself. There is no need for a school of happiness other than the one great school founded by Jesus Christ, who invited all tired and worn souls to come to Him, and to learn of Him. How to Enrich Character. Who doubts that Christian character would be far richer, and church activities tenfold more successful if Christians generally would put in practice the most familiar suggestions concerning the use of the Word of God? I submit these: 1. To read the Bible regularly every day. 2. As nearly as possible at a fixed hour. 3. Alone in your room. 4. Never when in haste. 5. The morning is the best time; but if you have found no other opportunity during the day, take time immediately before retiring at night. 6. Read in course. 7. Select, in addition, from any part of the Bible such passages as you especially need. 8. From time to time, read largely—several chapters, or a whole epistle or other book, at a sitting. In this way give your Bible a chance to pour into your soul its great tides of truth. 9. Above all, read devoutly, as for your soul's life. Prayer is the key that unlocks the Word—Bishop C. D. Foss. To-Day and To-Morrow. Part of to-day belongs to to-morrow, as the seed belongs to the shoot, as the foundation belongs to the building. So to-day owes its best to to-morrow, for not to do right to-day may ruin to-morrow. But the reverse is not true. To-morrow cannot ruin to-day. Time's wheel does not run backward. Banish, then, foreboding and anxious forecast, and fill to-day with faithful work, with kindness and courage and hope; and so you will keep to-morrow from being a marplot, and make it a good, honest today when it comes.—M. D. Babcock. HOUSEHOLD Rumor Has It That German Crown Prince May Wed Princess of Cumberland. Again is the gossip revived in Berlin that Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria has smoothed away the obstacles that have stood between the crown prince of Germany and Princess Alexandra of Cumberland, and that the Hanoverian girl has good prospects of becoming empress of Germany some day. The fact is that whereas the crown prince is now of marriageable age, the crop of princesses suited to him in years, health, religion and politics is extremely limited. Two or three English princesses are available and suitable, and rumor has repeatedly engaged him to one or the other of them, and Emperor William is understood to be rather in favor of such a match. But the emperor remembers the unpopularity of his mother in Germany, and the rooted objection of the German public to have an English empress. So it is that the name of Princess Alexandra comes up again. If the crown prince of Germany marries Princess Alexandra of Cumberland it will be a romantic match, for ALEXANDRA OF CUMBERLAND. (Hanoverian Princess Who May Wed German Crown Prince.) there has been a bitter feud between the Hohenzollerns and the Guelphs of Hanover for the last 35 years. In the war of 1866 the king of Hanover, the grandfather of Princess Alexandra, was led by his warm friendship for Emperor Francis Joseph to take the losing side, with the result that when Prussia had crushed Austria he was dethroned and his dominions added to the Prussian crown. There is still a Guelph party in Hanover and every year on the duke of Cumberland's birthday a deputation comes to Gmunden to bring him the greeting of his "loyal subjects in Hanover." The Guelphian movement in Hanover, however, is suppressed with an iron hand by the most approved German police methods. Since the crash, the royal family has lived in Austria, at Penzing, near Vienna, and at Gmunden in upper Austria. The head of the family uses his English title, Cumberland, but keeps up all the state and ceremony of a king at his residences. Princess Alexandra is a tall, pleasant looking girl, but not particularly beautiful. She is an enthusiastic yachtswoman and sails her own boat over the waters of the treacherous Gmunden lake. She has been much at the Austrian court where the Cumberlands take the precedence of every one and are treated as a reigning family. She is a Protestant and therefore religiously eligible to be the German crown princess's bride. TENERIFFE REVIVAL. Old-Time Needlework Once More in High Favor for the Trimming of Gowns. Teneriffe needlework is flourishing to-day in these parts to an astonishing degree, and the influence of those cobwebby wheels of thread which are its characteristic manifestation is making itself felt in dress garniture of all kinds. The Teneriffe lice collar, or the linen centerpiece, table cover, bureau scarfs. A HAPPY COMBINATION etc., with its border of filmy wheels the size of a silver dollar, is familiar to all who keep in touch with the development of the fad for this sort of work. Somewhat newer, and, in some respects, more effective, is the combination of braid and Teneriffe stars shown in the accompanying illustration of a centerpiece that is a welcome change from the embroidered example that has been in evidence so many moons.—Brooklyn Eagle. A WORD OF WARNING. Mrs. Russell Sage Deplores the Growing Popularity of Flat and Apartment Life. "Are we becoming a nation without homes?" This is the vital question discussed by Mrs. Russell Sage in the Clubwoman. Mrs. Sage in a searching arraignment points out the various causes which are leading us to that much-dreamed reproach of homelessness. "Apartment life," she says, "which is really the solution of a knotty problem, brought about by the topographical formation of our metropolis and the enormous increase in the population, has come to be an accepted fact. It is, nevertheless, detrimental to family life, and makes real home life almost impossible. "When I first came to New York some years ago a schoolmate of mine was then living in one of the first apartment houses, where a breakfast of coffee and rolls was the only meal served for the guests. She met her husband after his business hours, and they dined at some fashionable restaurant. When I asked her where she went to church, she replied: 'Oh, I go to church on the same plan as I eat my dinner. I read over the notices in the Sunday papers, and if one minister is particularly attractive we go there. If none appeals to us, we read or go for a walk, and amuse ourselves in whatever way seems preferable at the time.' "There is certainly a growing desire on the part of women to free themselves from all household cares. Hotel life offers to many the easiest solution of the domestic question, and lazy women are really to blame for their trouble with servants, as the duties of the mistress toward the latter are not properly discharged. Three of my servants, the coachman and two maids, have been with me 30, 20 and 10 years, respectively, therefore I cannot say that the question has troubled me personally. A common interest blinds us together. Feeling that this is their home as well as mine, they do not refuse to do extra service whenever it is needed. "Club life to some extent is responsible for the desire on the part of so many women to get away from housekeeping and its attendant grudgery. "One evil of apartments is that it is difficult to find any of them at a moderate cost that are large enough from a sanitary and moral point of view. All rooms are on one floor. The child cannot be isolated from the mother, and the lat- MRS. RUSSELL SAGE. ter cannot obtain the necessary rest which is imperative to her well-being. "The problem of space is not solved, even in the country. But the worst phase of all summer life is that spent at a large seaside or mountain hotel. Who can see without a feeling of pity the plight of the children? They are relegated more than ever to the care of servants. The mothers either stay in bed until noon, reading, or, upon getting up, sit in the parlor listening to the music and dawling over fancy work. The children are sent away to spend the greater part of their time where it is most congenial for the nursemaids, leaving the mothers free to enjoy the pleasures of hotel life. I have known children to take their luncheons during a whole summer in the servants' dining-room. Evening comes while the children are having their tea. The mother is dressing for dinner. Then the children go to bed and the mother to the drawing-room or veranda to listen to the music and talk (I won't say gossip). "The desecration of the Sabbath which this restlessness has engendered grieves me greatly. I will not say 'there is no Sabbath,' but excessive entertaining draws people away from church attendance and produces the worst effect of all upon the home life. "The breakdown of many women is today due largely to too much excitement and no rest on Sunday. Entertaining to excess is transplanted from the city to the country. The children are left more and more to the care of servants. They receive no moral training. The child must have guidance, and no training, however scientific, can compete with that given by a loving and conscientious mother." Meanest Man in Illinois. The Leaf River (Ill.) Mirror thinks the meanest man in Illinois lives at Centralla. He put a large procelain egg in the nest of an ambitious hen and found that the eggs she had afterward laid were increased in size. Then he put a goose egg in the nest; the aforesaid hen laid an egg just as large. He was so pleased with the scheme that he put a whitewashed football in the nest and awaited results. When he went the next time to search for eggs he found one as high as a football, but no hen in sight. Securing the egg, he saw engraved on it by the hen photography these words: "I'm no ostrich, but I have done my best." Later he found the hen inside the egg. Always Place Eggs Upright. If one desires eggs to keep well, place them upright; otherwise the yolks will cling to the shell and snail. Hard To Bear. J. W. Walls, Superintendent of Streets of Lebanon, Kentucky living on East side Street in that city, says: "With my nightly rest broken, owing to irregularities of the kidneys, suffering intensely from severe pain in the small of my back and through the kidneys, and annoyed by painful passages of abnormal secretions, life was anything but pleasant for me. No amount of doctoring relieved this condition, and for the reason that nothing seemed to give me even temporary relief, I became about discouraged. One day I noticed in the newspapers the case of a man who was afflicted as I was and was cured by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. His words of praise for this remedy were so sincere that on the strength of his statement I went to the Hugh Murrey Drug Co.'s store and got a box. I found that the medicine was exactly as powerful a kidney remedy as represented. I experienced quick and lasting relief. Doan's Kidney pills will prove a blessing to all sufferers from kidney disorders who will give them a fair trial."

The connection between this lesson and those that have preceded it is plain, though it is one of thought rather than of historical incident. Our last lesson included the story of David's sin and repentance, and to impress its lessons more strongly upon us, the marvelous prayer of the broken heart in the Fifty- first psalm. From that study of the ex- perience of one who had sinned and re- pented we go on to this study of the ' blessedness of forgiveness and the way "in which one may find it. (Ps, 32:1, 2.) There are three words used here for sin, and, while in general synonymous, each adds a shade of mean- fog not in the others. “Transgression.” “A breaking loose from God;” disregard- ing His will. “Sin.” This word in the original suggests a missing of the mark —for sin is a terrible blunder and failure as well as a terrible wrong. “Iniquity.” A distortion or perversion. A fine face distorted, becomes hideous, and good thing perverted may become the worst of bad things. “Whose sin ts covered.” The figure suggests that sin is something horrible to look upon, and that God mercifully draws the veil over it. “Im- puteth not iniquity.” Does not charge his sin against him. “No guile.” No insincerity; no pretending. (Vs. 3-5.) “When I kept silence." Sullealy trying to ignore his sin. “My bones wasted away.” No man can def: his conscience with impunity. This i: ‘leaf from the personal experience of the nsalmist, and we know what he means from our own personal experience. “Thy hand was heavy upon me.” The hand af conscience is the hand of God. It ts ‘aid upon the sinner not primarily to wake him suffer, but to make him re- form. “The drought of summer.” A aullty couseience checks all soul growth and contracts and shrivels and dries up ‘ile as the blasts of the hot south wiads iry up all vegetation in a midsummer froucht. Note that the psalmist speaks of having had regret and sorrow all thie time, but it was not repentance. What was the difference? Alexander Maclaren has sald that this psalm is “a chart of one man’s path from the depthsto the heights, and avails 0 guide all.” ‘The change comes in verse 5, It was the breaking down of the tubborn, defiant spirit, the dropping of ‘he fiction of goodness when there wat to goodness, end the humble opening of the heart to the Father in confession, “Thou forgavest the iniquity.” God is ner ready to forgive and to consider a nan as separated from his sin when He wes that the man has with all his heart put his sin away. God cannot consider i'man's sin put away until it is. He cannot deal in fictions. Recall here hrist's teaching in the parable of the prodigal son, (Vs. 6-11.) “For this.” Because of ‘hs; therefore. “Every one that is todly." ‘Those who are true to God and urive to do His will—for the best Chris- jans need still to pray for forgiveness. “When thou mayest be found,” The RV. marginal reading is in the'time of {nding out (sin). This is possible. The neferred reading suggests that there fe itime when It {8 too late—not because od is not ready to forgive, but because nan has lost the capacity to become “a tew man,” “I will instruct thee, etc.” | ‘It is usual to suppose that the psalmist still speaks, but surely ‘I will counsel tee with mine eye upon thee,’ does not “human lps."—Alexander Maclaren, The psalmist represents Jehovah as ‘waking the reassuring words of verse 2 Virse 9 suggests the reason why ‘many sorrows shall be to the wicked.” The psalm ends with a shout of joy.

TARAS somal Hf” Mrs. Anderson, a prominent society woman of Jacksonville, Fla, daughter of Recorder of Deeds, West, who witnessed her signature to the following letter, praises ? : fs Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “Dean Mns. Procmast:— There are but few wives and mothers who have not at times endured agonies and such pain as only women know. Iwish such women knew the value of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It is a remarkable medicine, different in action from any Tever knew and thoroughly reliable. “Thaye seen eases where women dectored for years without perma- nent benefit, who were cured in ess than three months after taking your Vegetable Compound, whilo others who were chronic and incuiable came out cured, happy,and in perfect health after a thorough treatment with this medicine. I’have never used it myself without gaining great benefit, A few doses restores my strength and eppetite, and tones up the entire system. Your medicine has been tried and found true, hence I fully endorse it” Mins. IR, A. ANpnsox, 225 Washington St; Jack- sonville, Fla. Mrs. Reed, 2425 E. Cumberland St., Philadelphia, Pa., says: “Dear Mrs. Prxxnam:—I feel it my duty to write and tell you the good I have received from Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound. %; “Thave been a great sufferer with female ap ep YM trouble, trying different doctors and medicines 2 © FF with no benefit. Two yearsago I wens under a an operation, and it left me in a very. weal , a condition. T’had stomach trouble, backache, = headache, palpitation of the heart, and was very Of nervous; in fact, I ached all over. I find CT te e yours is the only medicine that reaches THA \ WGN NMP such troubles, and would cheerfully rec- } ommend Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable ‘ Mt Z\) 2 Compound to all suffering women.” ‘When women are troubled with irregular or painful menstruation, weak- ness, leucorrhwa, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, flatulence, general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles, The experience and testimony of some of the most noted women of America go to prove, beyond a question, that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will correct all such trouble at once by removing the cause and restoring the organs to a healthy and normal condition. If in doubt, write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, ‘Mass, as thousands do. Her advice is free and helpful. No other medicine for women in the world has received such wide- spread and unqualified endorsement, No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any substitute.

Sabra, Montana, Oct. 19th.—A great many men in this neighborhood used to complain of pains in the back, but now scarcely one can be found who has any such trouble. a Mr, Gottlieb Mill is largely responsible for the improvement, for it was he who first of all found ‘the remedy | for, this Backache, He has recommended it to all his friends and neighbors, and in every cage it has had wonderful success. Mr. Mill says:— “For many years I had been troubled with my Kidneys and pains ia, the smal of my back. I tried many medicines but Gid not derive any benefit until Jast fall, when T bought a dozen boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills. After using them a few days I ae to improve, my back quit aching aud I felt better and stronger all around. “I will keep them, in the honse right along, for in my opinion they are the hest medicine in the market to-day, and if my back should bother me again, I will use nothing else.” Never Again.

REMINISCENCES OF CHICAGO'S EAR» LY DAYS. How the First Freight Was Shipped ‘to the City By Rail. “As a live stock market, Chicago stands second to none,” said a well-known dealer. “The figures for, 1902 show that almost eight million head of sheep, over four mil- Tion hogs, a. hundred. thousand horses, & quarter million calves and. three million cattle were brought to the Chicago market last year by the big railroads that reach cut, like The Chieago & Northwestern, into the cattle ranges and feeding grounds all over the west. ‘The reports show 278, 100 carloads of live stock received here in 1902—quite a growth for the 5 years since the first shipment.” ‘The stockman ruminated a moment. “That first” shipment was queer, "now, wasn’t it?” he continued. “Did you seé that little account of it in the papers the other day? Young Millican Hunt, now over 80 years old, had started across the Prairies fo "market ‘with ‘a sled load, of hogs and when he got across the Des Plaines River he found there was no snow ‘on which to draw his pigs the rest of the journey. “That was in '48, the year the Galena road, now The Chicago & Northwestern, built its first ten miles; and young Hunt made a dicker with the erew of a con struction train, loaded his porkers on the train, and rode into Chicago triumphant, behind the little old ‘Pioneer.’ “Was you ever out to the Field Colum- dian Museum?” he continued. “Well, you should go out there some day and see that old. locomotive. She stands for a_ good deal from Chicago's point. of view— Brought in the first load of live stock, and fhe day the ‘road vas opened and the fayor and the big men of the town were trying the novelty of a ride on the first regular train, she pulled the first rail shipment of grain into, town. “Mthey tell me, now,” he went on; “that last year that load of hogs had grown to ‘over 65,000 carloads of live stock brought into Chicago over The Northwestern Line alone, and instead of one wagon load. of wheat The Northwestern brought over 30,- 00,000 bushels of grain to the city.” ee Ee eS eee RT OR RE MT ge ee ae are j Millions Use CASCARETS.

One of the objects of the Booker Washington Improvement league of Newport, which has just adjourned a lively meeting this p. m., is to invite respectable families to buy and settle here, while real estate is as cheap as it is. We have quite a number of respectable and comfortable little homes here owned by our people. Mr. Thomas Sublet owns the highest point here. The high water got into a very small portion of the lower rooms of his residence. Rev. Garret and Mr. Biggers have comfortable homes, and are neighbors to Mr. Sublet. Essence was in Brooklyn to-day (Sunday) at the very hour that Rev. R. H. Cole, principal of Simmons school, St. Louis, preached the annual sermon to the True Reformers. He taught a practical lesson from the text: "Who are on the Lord's side?" It is said that some man was shot here Saturday. How long will Negroes continue to shoot each other down? A preacher of the Gospel should indicate a better Christian example than going to the schoolhouse, like a saloon ruffian, to whip the teacher because his child has been punished for lying that she was not eating in school. Mr. John Cowan, formerly a policeman of Newport, and his wife are quiet, peaceful citizens, and also the old citizens, Mrs. Browder, and a former pupil of Sumner high school, St. Louis, Mrs. Savanah Taylor, Mrs. Browder's daughter. These excellent people all own comfortable little homes here. Others will be spoken of in our next. Mr. Editor, if any lawyer is low, mean and dishonest enough to beg the court to reprimand his guilty client, and to omit the collection of fine and cost, because he represents his client as poverty-stricken, and would have to be jailed, while the lawyer himself collects fee for defending said client, such a lawyer is a thieving scoundrel. If said lawyer, after his request has been graciously granted, instructs his guilty culprit "to beat the devil out of him or her next time," he should not only be dismissed from the bar, but should be lynched, if lynching is ever right. ESSENCE. Left Out Last Week Miss Mamie Graham, of 4121 Fairfax avenue, and Mr. William Adams, were married on the 9th. They left for Chicago, where they will make their home. We wish them well. Miss Mamie leaves a mother and sister, who are much concerned about her future happiness. A MOST REMARKABLE CHARACTER. 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 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 news dealer, 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 fifteenth street. 1409 Market Street B.
