ST.LOUIS PALLADIUM LLOYD. Vol. XIX. No. 49. LL CITY NEWS. Notes and News Concerning Our People--Weekly Record of Social Events, Deaths, Marriages and Births--Written Especially for St. Louis Palladium. Don't forget to attend the Thanksgiving Baseball Game. Nicely-furnished room, 2201 Morgan, upstairs. Call on MRS. HUGGINS. At last we have a chiropodist in our city, in the person of Sol Heland,Twenty-third and Market streets. Sugar must be high, as the Eagle man's breeches have not been called down. Andy McGrew and Jack J. Tatum are the last two that have secured a position with the firm of Street & Walker. The Old Black Man says the Eagle is clean; that is why he charges $4.41 for two-thirds of a column of reading matter. Mrs. Fannie Lee is spending several weeks in Tipton. She wries for The Palladium. She says she can not do without it. Mr. O'Dell and wife have moved into their own home. Mr. O'Dell has owned this house, 2710 Lawton avenue, for several years. Mrs. Lucy Bolton, of Jefferson City, is visiting her brother, sister and sister-in-law, at 4264 Sacramento avenue. She will remain until Thanksgiving. Mrs. Maggie McIntyre's little son, Condy Casey, died last week, after a painful illness of two weeks. Mrs. McIntyre's address is 4038 Evans avenue. Mr. Mozee, of 2204 Scott avenue, is one of this city's coming young men. His freedom in expressing himself convinces his hearers that his is a well-cultivated mind. Get your ad in The Palladium for the next two months. All the church people, the saloon people and the public in general WILL READ THE PALLADIUM. We see that the Hamilton club and the St. Louis club intend to consolidate. Is that just? What is the matter with the Good Government club, and the 12,-two Negro votes? Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Richardson, who attended the play at the Odeon last Monday night, left and attended the reception at 1721 Texas avenue. They had a splendid time. What a pity that our good congressman, Mr. Bartholdt, was not in congress at the time of Aaron Burr. We see that he has espoused the cause of Andy McGrew and his relatives. Mr. Louis Huggins, of 2132 Franklin, is at present visiting his wife's home in Sparta. Ill. He will return home soon, and again visit his mother-in-dawon thanksgiving day. His little daughter is attending school in Sparta. Mr. John Favall, of 2343 Wash street, is in charge of a gang of men laying brick pavements. He has been employed for a number of years by the same firm, and they have implicit confidence in him. He has about twenty in his charge. At the Odeon, last Monday, there was a large audience to witness the play. Our best people were out, but somehow or other we did not see the Old Black Man. Well, you might have seen who was in the boxes at the Odeon. We wish to know the whereabouts of Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, of St. Joseph; Prof. J. W. Baldwin, of Kansas City, and Rev. L. F. Payne, of Glasgow. The maager of The Palladium wishes to know the whereabouts of these gentlemen. They have something that belongs to The Palladium. SNOOKS. Mr. Edward O'Neal, of 2837 Manchester avenue, has been in the carpenter and building business for almost thirty-four years. Mr. O'Neal is undoubtedly an expert in his line. He says, however, that he finds it very difficult to secure apprentices in his trade. He says that the churches, when they need repairing, usually employ white carpenters. The money of the Negro men and women is paid in at the church's door, and the least that could be done in returning the good is to give employment to its own kind. FIHST BAPTIST CHURCH. Mrs. Pauline Jones, of Bunker Hill, Ill., was in the city last Sunday, a guest of Mrs. Dickson, 2645 Lucas avenue. The Evening Star club will give a grand dramatic concert at the First Baptist church, in the near future, for the benefit of said church. Mrs. Etta Brachen, of 1732 Iowa avenue, returned from Chicago, Ill., last Saturday, where she has been on a visit with friends for two weeks. The presidents of the different clubs, namely: Pleasant Workers, Carnation, Ruth and Gentleman, are studying and planning day and night, as to what is the best thing to do to raise money for the church. Yes, they all have agreed to have a fair, which will begin December 20 and end December 31, 1903. Reverends E. C. Cole preached at 11 a. m. and J. W. Muse at 7:30 p. m., at the First Baptist church, last Sunday. Each sermon was full of interest. The doors of said church are always open to the public,, hence the polite ushers will see that any and all visitors have seats. The St. Louis Colored Union, a Christian organization, which was organized some months ago, for the purpose of building up the young people, spiritually, religiously, morally and socially, will meet at Mount Calvary Baptist church the third Sunday in December, at 3 p. m. Everbody is invited. Postmaster-General Payne Makes Permanent the Suspension of Misses Dreyer and Knott and Messrs. Dreyer and Kober, Whom Baumhoff Disciplined For Entering Into Conspiracy Against Him. "Your Sins Will Find You Out." The Palladium called these four names last February, and you now see the result. Our good congressman said just before he left for congress, that he would see that the above ladies should be restored to their former positions in the post office. We ask what next step will our good congressman take? ROOSTER Andy McGrew, W. W. Howard, J. D. Miller, J. J. Tatum Fickler is Gone—The Big Four Which is Which, and Who Goes Next. ANDY McGREW GETS HIS. Big Gun In the Baumhoff Charges Comes to Grief. Andy, the irrepressible producer of trouble in all circles where he may by chance be cast, has at last got his, by way of permanent dismissal from the classified service. It is only fitting that McGrew should be forever eliminated from public offices. He has been for the past twenty years a continual source of disturbance and bickering. The man seems to be utterly devoid of conscience, and has no regard for the truth in any form. He is a habitual prevaricator, who has carried the tale of slander to more than one man's decor. It is said of Congressman Richard Bartholdt that he became so elated over McGrew's tale of woe in the post office investigation that he took oath to investigate the remainder of his life to the cause of securing the rights of Andy McGrew and his relatives. If this is so, and the writer knows that it is so, it signifies that the four-fluishing member from the Tenth district has taken another step towards the necropolis that awaits him in 1904. It is a pity indeed that the public is compelled to stand for such a man as its representative, who listened to and is influenced by such men as Andy McGrew and W. W. Howard. Even George Dyer, of the filthy Censor, draws the line on McGrew in his quest for spoils. Men who seek to defame the character of their fellowmen by filthy and nefarious methods must at an early period come to grief. That some one has recently learned this lesson no one will doubt. It's a lucky liar who meets no end. The Palladium has completed its task. Jack Tatum. Mr. Tatum, employed in the railway mail service, is out in a statement, last Sunday, explaining that his connection in the attack against the postmaster was out of public motives. We did not know that this man Tatum had been called upon to give out a public or private statement, but it's a safe proposition that we don't miss our guess very far if at some future time this—public motive—young man is not called upon to give out a statement, as is a statement. There are a few passages in this young man's life that will hardly justify the belief that he is the proper person to assume the—public motive—act. We guess Jack Tatum won't be su- We guess Jack Tatum won't be superintendent of mails yet awhile. We will consider—public motives—in our next. [The above appeared in The Palladium February 7, 1963.] John Tatum's Head Goes Off, Promptly Following Andrew McGrew's—Miss Mildred Doll Also Fired, But She Was Not In the Service. No Longer In the Government Service. Annie Dreyer, Samuel Kober, Andrew McGrew, Joseph Dreyer, Birdie Knott, John J. Tatum. Six dismissals from the government service have resulted from the conspiracy hatched last spring to prevent the reappointment of Postmaster F. W. Baumhoff. The civil service commission has ordered that Annie Dreyer, Joseph Dreyer, Samuel Kober, Bifdie Knott, Andrew McGfew and Joseph Tatum be dropped permanently from the payrolls of the government because of an alleged conspiracy against the postmaster. The above appeared in The Palladium, February 7, 1903. So here they are: STERRETT FOR CONGRESS. STERRETT FOR CONGRESS. The Palladium's Choice for a Successor to Bartholdt. The Palladium annonuces Hon. Frank M. Sterrett for congress to represent the Tenth district, to succeed the present misfit. Mr. Bartholdt once thought so much of Mr. Sterrett's chances for the nomination in the Tenth that he tried to jolly Mr. Sterrett into the belief that he (Bartholdt) would secure him the St. Louis postmastership. But when it came to naming the postmaster, Mr. Bartholdt was induced by the friends of Mr. Wyman to stand for Wyman, because Wyman and his friends could carry the Twenty-eighth ward, which Bartholdt needs in his business, and as Bartholdt considers that he can carry the Twenty-fourth without the aid of Mr. Sterrett, he flopped to Mr. Wyman in true Bartholdian style at the Twelfth hour. There can be no mistake about this, for the Westlitche Post, Bartholdt's official German organ, printed the cut of Mr. Wyman five hours before any other paper in the city knew about the appointment. Mr. Bartholdt has also tried to jolly the chairman of his committee, Kaltwasser, on the postmastership, but Kaltwasser knew six months ago that he could not rely on Mr. Bartholdt for his support. The friends of Mr. Joy are also indignant at the Herr Doctor, and Billy Hahn also got cold comfort from the doctor in his candidacy for postmaster. Bartholdt's county friends of former days seem to have deserted him, and the paper "THAT HE FELL HEIR TO THROUGH THE BREWERS," has been disposed of at a round figure. Some put it as high as $3,000 in debt, and of course the Herr Doctor will not have to make good his flourishing promise of contributing the surplus earnings to the republican campaign committee. Already the cry has gone forth "MY FRIENDS WILL HAVE TO COME TO THE RESCUE." It is believed the brewers are about tired putting up, because congressional campaigns come too high. The next campaign cry will in all probability be the one that Bartholdt used in the Kaltwasser case, "WE HAVE ALREADY YET TOO MANY CHERMANS IN OFFICE." Judge Gallenkamp, whom Bartholdt feared in Franklin county, seems to have lost his grip somehow, and word has gone to Washington that Bartholdt's relatives in the government employ have been too active in repairing their kinsmen's fences. There seems to be a determined effort on foot to retire the doctor, and The Palladium favors Mr. Sterrett. Mr. Sterrett's friends seem anxious to pay Bartholdt back in the same jolly coin that he gave them. Bartholdt and his relatives, from Beirman down, seem to have little use for anyone after election day. WM. H. MANN DEAD. A Well-Known Colored Citizen Passes Away. William H. Mann, a well-known Colored man, died at his residence, 2237 Lucas avenue, Wednesday morning, of Bright's disease. Mr. Mann was 60 years of age, and had been a resident of this city for more than half a century. He was a native of Zanesville, O. He came to St. Louis early in the 50s, and continued his vocation as a steamboatman until the breaking out of the war, when he entered the federal service, in which he remained until the close of the war. After the war he returned to his former occupation on the Mississippi river, which he left in 1867 to enter the secret service at Galveston, Tex. He returned to St. Louis later. He was an aggressive politician, and prided himself on his fidelity to the Republican cause. He was married in 1864, and reared a family of eight children, four of whom, Mrs. Ida M. Owensby, Bessie E. Sydnor, Marie J., Walter J. and Virginia, survive him. The funeral took place at ten o'clock Friday morning from St. Elizabeth's Catholic church. Fourteenth and Gay streets. C.F. HOLLAND 2643 MARKE The good people of Love joy, Ill., like the Doctor LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. A large and highly-appreciative audience assembled in the auditorium of Lincoln Institute on the evening of the 16th of November to listen to that prince of violinists, Joseph Douglass, of Washington, D. C. Mr. Douglass is a grandson of the late Frederic Douglass, and with the magic of his musical talent held the audience as completely spellbound as his illustrious ancestor was wont to do with the matchless fire of his eloquence. considerable number of the best white citizens were out, and the entire character of the concert was such as to materially raise the Anglo-Saxon conception of the Negro's advancement and capacity for the highest degree of culture, as well as to increase the latter's respect for the genius of his race. Mr. Douglass was able support by the talent of the institute and all of the members, including scenes from "Floroda" by Lee students; from "Leah the Forsaken," by Mrs. J. S. Moten, etc., whichceived well-merited commendation, Miss Florence Pigeon, of the department of music, was Mr. Douglass' pianist for the evening, and he expressed himself as being especially impressed with the ease and skill with which this young lady accompanied him in the very difficult music selected, stating that in a tour extending over quite a period of years, he had only in one other instance been able to find a pianist of color with sufficient knowledge of music to successfully render these compositions. Among the pieces given, and that were especially appreciated, bringing forth encore after encore, melting the audience to tears by their pathos, or exciting them to mirt by their exuberant intricacies, were: "Fantasie Caprice," Vieuxtems; Gypsei Lances, Parasate; "Mazurka de Concert," Musin. Dr. Allen deserves much credit for his uniting efforts to place GARDEN C. H. TANDY. Until these three can stand on the same ground for the success of the republican party with Hon. Charles Nagel, Charles Parsons, R. C. Kerens, Congressman $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents. before the young people intrusted to his care high ideals of manhood and womanhood. The sermon given on Sunday by Dr. Patillo, having as its theme, "Personality," was remarkable in its clearness, force and originality, and is the same that he will give during the year to the schools and colleges of the Methodist Church South in Missouri. It was highly appreciated by all present, and the story of his own struggle with poverty while obtaining an education, and of that of others whom he had instructed and "lifted up," could not have been otherwise than an inspiration to the struggling students in Lincoln institute. Letter of Condolence. St. Louis, Nov. 12, 1903. Rev. Frederick McKinney: Dear Father in Christ—I know how futile it is to address words, idle words, to you in this moment of supreme anguish, with which it has pleased God is His wise providence to visit you, and shall not say more than that the loss of your pure and beautiful wife, is not only a source of deep sorrow to yourself, but to all who knew her. But, Elder McKinney, as you have often told me, that "Our God is too wise to make a mistake, too good and kind to be unjust." What He has done is right, and we must be comforted with this thought: That our loss is her gain. My own grief, at the loss of dear ones, teaches me how crushing must be your affliction. May the Almighty in His goodness console you in this dark hour. Believe me always, your loving daughter in Christ, extending to you our deepest sympathy, MR. AND MRS. E. HOWARD, 5423 St. Louis Avenue, City. KALBFELL. Yours July, Chancery J. Killey. Reynolds, C. H. Tandy, R. C. Grenner, Charles F. Wenneker, and a hundred others, there can be no success in this city. Reynolds, C. H. Tandy, R. C. Grenner, Charles F. Wenneker, and a hundred others, there can be no success in this city. St. Louis Palladium. J. W. WHEELEER. Editor and Manages ST. LOUIS. 2. MISSOURL CURRENT COMMENT. Panama, where the revolution occurred, is about the size of your hat and as dirty as your nightshirt. Panama will thankfully take that $10,000,000; nobody in the republic will need to work for several years. Texas cattle, Missouri mules and Oregon railroad ties are doing the best they can to rehabilitate South Africa. A self-acting automatic short story writer is all that can supply the demands made by the magazines. The stories are already like thrice-skimmed milk. Nearly 16,000,000 pupils are enrolled in the public schools of the United States this year. That coming army of patriots is one of the biggest facts in the great republic. There is no episode in the Bible that young John Rockefeller likes to expound to his Sunday school class so well as that of the foolish virgins who found themselves short on oil. A beautiful site for the Japanese building at the world's fair has been selected. If Russia should happen to locate in the same neighborhood some lively scenes would follow. Andrew Carnegie, the largest individual taxpayer in New York city, has just sent his check for $41,366 to the receiver of taxes, being full payment for his assessment on real estate and personal property, amounting all told to $10,000,000. The confederate home at Beauvoir, Miss., the late residence of Jefferson Davis, is to be opened for the reception of impoverished confederate soldiers on Tuesday, December 1. Forty indigent veterans have already applied for admission. If mayors would not insist on being renominated the movement they represent might be more continuously successful. Renomination converts the fight into a personal one for vindication, instead of one for the success of measures. Principles are sacrificed for the sake of vanity. George W. Vanderbilt contemplates building another model village near his estate at Asheville, N. C. The village will be built about 30 miles from Asheville, and $1,000,000 at least will be expended on the project. Mr. Vanderbilt has already expended about $10,000,000 in western North Carolina. Julius M. Mayer, justice of the court of special sessions in New York, said that the failure of parents to supply their children with spending money was one of the principal causes of crime among the boys and girls there. Many a child would be saved from the first wrong step if the parent would make him a small allowance, even two or three cents a week. The editorial of the Ohio State Journal booming Senator Hanna for president, which was sent out by the Associated press, never appeared in the State Journal. Its suppression was requested by Senator Hanna before the paper went to press. Thus the State Journal's editorial was published by about all the newspapers in the country, except the paper where it originated. The $25,000,000 which the Cuban congress authorized to be raised to pay the old soldiers promises to give a great deal of trouble to the Cuban government. It is an excessive amount to pay, as only a few men merited any remuneration. The money has not yet been obtained and the people object to taxes levied to meet the interest and to provide for a sinking fund for the loan. These taxes are generally stamp taxes imposed on retailers. Upon the lines of an enormous American system of allied railroads more than $100,000,000 have been spent upon improvements within three years. Was not such an outlay a notable rubbing of Aladdin's lamp? In what other country is money paid out so lavishly upon the betterment of transportation lines in order to bring them nearer to perfection, if perfection in such matters is attainable by any imaginable expenditure of enterprise, of effort and of riches? It is impossible to prove that the account of the whale 150 feet long coming up New York bay, spouting water, in some places mud, like a McMonnies fountain, is another outburst of the New York reporter, so we shall accept it without prying too deeply into it. These shores, which may have been in Hendrik Hudson's time inhabited by fairies, and were, according to Washington Irving, the abode of hobgoblins, are no longer tenanted by either hobgoblins or fairies, but the fairy stories multiply more rapidly than ever. In asking for more pay the rural mail carriers have a cause that merits the serious consideration of congress. The carriers now receive $600 a year, out of which they must provide a horse and wagon and care for the horse. Their routes vary from 20 to 50 miles, over roads that are usually bad and frequently worse. The work is hard and exacting. In winter they are subjected to much exposure, and it would seem as a matter of justice that they deserved at least as gold pay as the city carriers who encounter fewer hardships. ALUM, FLINT AND SULPHURIC ACID. It is reported that in many localities houses are infested by peddlers trying to sell or introduce so-called "cheap" or low-priced baking powders, either directly or by an order upon a grocer. In most instances deception is used, and it is claimed that the article is a genuine baking powder and has all the merits of a pure article. Housekeepers should be on their guard against this danger to their food. Alum powders are almost always low priced. But they are well known to be detrimental to health. In England and in some sections of this country their sale is prohibited by law. Congress has forbidden the sale of food containing alum in the District of Columbia. The highest authorities condemn their use. Dr. S. W. Johnson, for instance, Professor of Chemistry at Yale College, says: "Bread made with a baking powder containing alum must yield a soluble alumina salt with the gastric juice, and must, therefore, act as a poison." It is well known that these so-called "cheap" goods are made from alum or the very cheapest materials. One of them was recently analyzed at Yale College and found to be one-quarter sharp pointed grains of ground flint. Others are filled with sulphuric acid, and salts of lead are also found in them. In baking powders be sure to get a reputable well-known cream of tartar brand, and never buy from peddlers. Senator Penrose's Queer Flush. In a Broad street hotel in Philadelphia Senator Quay and some friends were in the habit of "sitting in" at a regular weekly game of poker, at one of which Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, was a mere looker-on. After watching the game for an hour or two the junior senator innocently remarked: "Fellows, I think I could play that game if you'd make me out a schedule of points." They did so, and Penrose, with the rules carefully written out in front of him, took a hand. As the time for the jackpot approached one of the players said: "I'll open for a dollar." Penrose scanned his hand, then looked carefully over the rules and asked: "What's all of one color?" "A flush," he was told. "I'll play," he observed. The man who opened perfunctorily bet a chip, and, when the senator raised, drew out. "It's all yours, Penrose," the latter was told, and then as he drew the pile toward him, somebody added: "Let's see what you got, anyway." They looked, found two diamonds and three hearts, and sarcastically inquired: "Didn't you say you had a flush?" "No; you said it," replied Penrose, adding, ingenuously; "I don't know much about the game, you know, but I rather like it."—Chicago Chronicle. A Suggestion to Bankers. "If the bankers of the country only knew the great difference a little soap and water makes in a dirty bank note, there would be more clean money in circulation," said a treasury official while talking with friends one day last week. "If you have never seen the operation, just spread a soiled note out upon a marble slab and use a small brush that has been well soaked, and go to work scrubbing lightly, of course. But a few strokes is necessary to secure a clean note. I give my personal attention to all the paper money brought into my household, and I tell you I feel repaid for the little work it causes. "I can see every reason why there should be a person employed in the duty. Certainly the neglect in doing so gives ample cause for complaints from the patrons concerning the dirty, oily notes that are too frequently handed to them. They may be full of germs, which, of course, are dangerous, and this risk could be easily eliminated by the simple use of soap and water."—Mail and Express. Trouble for the Proofreader. "If you think that I am going to pay you a penny for this advertisement of mine in your measly old paper, you are mightily mistaken, my friend," said an irate business man as he slammed down a copy of the Morning Reveille on the counter in the business office of the paper. "What is the matter with the advertisement?" asked the business manager of the paper as he came forward. "I'd ask what is the matter, if I were you! What I wrote was 'a fresh invoice of dairy butter every day.' Will you just cast you eye on that ad, of mine and see what you have printed!" The business manager "cast his eye" on the "ad." indicated and looked for a place of safety when he read— "A fresh invoice of hairy butter every day!"—Lippincott's Magazine. Pride is a vice, which pride itself inclines every man to find in others, and to overlook in himself.—Johnn And She's Getting Well! A few days ago a Miss Death was brought to the German hospital to be operated upon for appendicitis. She was a daughter, she said, of an undertaker. The surgeon's name who was chosen to perform the operation was Dye—Dr. Frank Hackett Dye. When the operation was over Miss Death was placed in charge of two nurses. Cruelty, like every otter vice, requires no motive outside of itself; it only requires opportunity.—George Eliot. Missouri State Gleanings. NOW BOTH ARE SATISFIED. Husband and Wife Struggle Over Child, But Finally Agree to Adjust Their Differences. By attempting to steal his child from his wife, in Kansas City, J. Kirby Dodge, of Clinton, an engineer, came very near being stabbed by his wife and mobbed by a crowd. Dodge met his wife on Penn street. She had the child, a little boy of three years, and was accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Amie Stark. When the party reached the corner of Ninth, Dodge grabbed the child, and boarding a cable car started to the union depot. The women screamed. The gripman stopped the car at Jefferson street, and Dodge jumped off. He ran down the incline steps and started south. The crowd, with his wife and sister-in-law, overtook him at Twelfth street. There Mrs. Dodge tried to take the child. She had a pain of scissors in her hand and threatened to stab him. The crowd talked of mobbing him. Just then two policemen arrived and took the party to police headquarters. There they patched up their differences and decided to return to Clinton and live together. The Baby Floated. A two-year-old child of Louis Schaepp, a Boone county farmer, was rescued from death under peculiar conditions. The child fell into a well 20 feet deep and containing 6 feet of water. The mother saw the accident, but was powerless. She ran screaming into a field half a mile distant, where the father was at work. It was perhaps twenty minutes before the father reached the well. He climbed down on the rough rocks of the sides and saw the baby floating on the water on its back. He was unable to reach it, and climbed out and secured a ladder. It was ten minutes more before he again descended. The child was still floating on the water. The baby was carried out and laid on the lawn beside the well. Suddenly it looked up and laughed. It was unharmed. The Missouri Society. The Missouri society of New York held its annual smoker at Delmonico's and elected officers for the ensuing year. Joseph G. Hendricks was unanimously chosen president, Rev. Dr. R. P. Johnston, vice-president; Samuel H. Royland, secretary, and Maurice J. Dower, treasurer. Florence White presided, in the absence of the president, August Thomas. Meeting Called. R. M. White, corresponding secretary of the Missouri Press association, has called a meeting of the executive committee at the Laclede hotel,in St. Louis, on November 27. The meeting will serve the double purpose of making arrangements for both the winter meeting of the association and the next summer's session, the latter to be held at the World's fair. Roller Mills Burned. The Harter roller mills, together with thousands of bushels of wheat were destroyed by fire at Sedalia. The Bradford planing mill, adjoining the Harter property, was also destroyed. The loss on the roller mill building is complete, there being no insurance, and only $15,000 on the grain. Mr. Harter estimates his loss at $50,000. Requisition Issued. Gov. Dockery has issued a requisition on Gov. Odell of New York for the return of William Ziegler, the baking powder magnate, to Jefferson City, to answer an indictment found against him by the Cole county grand jury charging attempted bribery in connection with the alum legislation in 1901. Perry County Farmers' Institute. Over 2,000 farmers attended the Perry county farmers' institute. There were over 400 entries, 128 being of corn. Dr. Luckey, state veterinarian, and Col. Warner, of the state agricultural college, said it was the best exhibit they had seen. It will be sent to the World's fair. Denth Came at Last. Mrs. Charles Caler died at Hannibal from injuries received by the closing of a folding bed, in which she was sleeping. For over a week she lingered with a broken neck. Mr. Caler, who was also hurt in the accident, is recovering. Fire at Cape Giardeau. The stable of the Cape City mill caught fire at Cape Girardeau, and extended to the warehouse, where 10,000 bushels of wheat and 25 tons of hay were stored. The buildings, hay and grain are a total loss, with $3,500 insurance. Hannibal Brewery Sold. The big city brewery of Hannibal which was owned by the late John M. Friedrich, has been sold to William heil, of the Green Tree brewery, in St. Louis. Drowned Herself. Mrs. Christina Altoff, aged 28, mother of three children, committed suicide at Bevier by jumping into a well. No cause is known for her deed. Blew Out the Gas. Milton Finley, a Callaway county farmer, blew out the gas in a Jefferson City hotel and he and his wife were nearly asphyxiated. Claims Self-Defense. Irving McDonald, a young business man, was shot and killed in St. Joseph, by J. F. Furlong, a traveling man, who claims self-defense. Just a Little Slice of This Planet Would Satisfy the Vails, of Madison, Wis. Litigation involving the title to valuable residential and business property of St. Louis, including the site of the Louisiana Purchase exposition, and in all approximating 1,000 acres, said to be valued at $100,000,000, has been commenced by Mrs. Frank L. Vail and her four brothers and sisters at Madison, Wis. Mrs. Vail is the granddaughter of the late John Bequette, of St. Louis, and the recovery of the property is sought on the title of an old land patent, secured by Israel Bequette. The litigation is being commenced at the instigation of St. Louis attorneys, whose names Mr. Vail refuses to give, saying she has orders not to divulge them. These attorneys are said to have discovered the alleged original title of the Bequettes, and represented to the Wisconsin heirs that the title lying in the patent has not lapsed by sale for taxes or adverse possession, and that it never was conveyed by deed from the possession of the Bequettes. Mrs. Vail says there are eight heirs who will share equally in the property. The heirs are Isaac Bequette, of Lansing, Ia., still living, and Frank Bequette, of Platteville, Grant county, Wis., the latter being deceased. His heirs are five sons and daughters, the leaders in the litigation. They are: Mrs. Frank L. Vail, Madison; Miss Louise Bequette, John Bequette, Mrs. E. B. Rice, of Platteville, and Mrs. M. V. Burris, of Lancaster. Mrs. Vail estimates her share at $7,000,000. While there is a good deal of incredulity at Madison in regard to the claim and assurances of the St. Louis attorneys, the Vails maintain apparent confidence in the security of their claim. St. Louis Robbers Caught. Three men, captured near Venice Ill., suspected of being highwaymen were "sweated" six hours by Chief of Police Kiely, in St. Louis, and finally admitted that they had been holding up pedestrians and saloonkeepers generally throughout St. Louis, and that they were bound together by a compact, in which each swore to forfeit his life to one of the other two in case he betrayed "by word, act or sign the slightest detail" of any robberies committed. The men gave their names as Frank Rice, of Chicago; Max Delaje, from New York, and Henry J. Ploehn, of San Francisco. They made a signed statement admitting they were confidence men, footpads and burglaries, and had operated throughout the country. Photographs have been taken which will be sent to other cities for possible identification. They were captured by Marshal Bennett, of Venice, Ill., after a spirited chase on a handcar Turbulent Convict Shot. W. E. Johnson, a prisoner serving a 90-day workhouse sentence, who is believed to be wanted in Kansas City, St. Louis and other points, made a deadly assault on Guard Joseph H Martin with a club, at St. Joseph, in an effort to escape. He was shot by the officer twice, in the right leg and arm.

BOYCE Bare are the stubbled fields and brown, And the orchard trees are bare; The sun is veiled and the heavens brown, And snowflakes whirl in the air; But out of the chimney the blue smoke reeks, And the children romp and play, And laughter dimples the rosy cheeks On the farm Thanksgiving Day. Down in the cellar cool and dim, Where cobwebs cling to the wall, Loaded and heaped are shelf and bin With the harvested fruits of fall. The barn a promise of plenty seems To the rows of stanchioned cows. Where the winter suture from floor to beams Is filling the fragrant mows. What matter if bare are the fields and brown, And the orchard trees are bare? What matter if wind and weather frown, And snowflakes whirl in the air? We have garnered the fruitage of summer's lease, And the children romp and play, And men thank God for plenty and peace And a glad Thanksgiving Day. —Farm Journal. Mary's Thanksgiving Proclamation By REV. JOHN T. FARIS EDITOR'S NOTE—This story is based on fact: it is true so far as the two letters are concerned, while actually passed between a little girl and a governor. The day before Thanksgiving, and Mary Tolliver was sick. Poor Mary! How she had looked forward to the annual festival! For weeks she had counted the days. Grandpa and all the rest had been invited for that day. And now she was sick. She had tried to think she was well when her head ached the night before. But in the morning the little face was flushed with fever, and there was a family consultation. Then the doctor was called in. "Just a little ague," the doctor said. Mary knew what ague was; she had had it before, but never at Thanksgiving time. "Can you get me well for to-morrow?" she asked. "I'm afraid not," the doctor answered, with a kindly smile. "You must be quiet for a few days, and maybe you can have your Thanksgiving next week." So word was sent to the relatives not to come next day, as there would be no Thanksgiving dinner at the Tolliver Mother and Child "JUST TO THINK HE DID THIS FOR ME!" house. Two days after Thanksgiving the fever was all gone, and Mary was very quiet. "What is my little girl thinking of?" Mother Tolliver asked. "I was wondering if we could have a Thanksgiving day next week, as Dr. Brown said," Mary answered. "Oh, no! Mary," she was told; "not till next year. You know the governor makes what he calls a 'proclamation,' and tells us when to have Thanksgiving." But Mary was not satisfied. She thought all day, and made her plans. Monday morning she asked if she might write a letter. "Just my very own," she said. Mother Tolliver gave leave very willingly. "But it must be short," she added. "Dear Govetnor: Please can we have an other Thanksgiving day, and have it next Thursday? I was sick, and so Grandpa and the others didn't come, and I could not eat any Turkey. I ain't very big, but I like Turkey. Please let us have it. "Your friend, "MARY TOLLIVER." "Won't you send it, mamma?" she pleaded. Mother Tolliver thought it would not hurt to send it, so the letter went that right. At the capitol the governor was very busy. It was near the end of his term, and he had a great deal to do. But he read Mary Tolliver's letter twice, and then called a messenger. "Billie," he said, "go down town and buy the biggest turkey you can get, and express it, with a lot of cranberries and celery, and all sorts of Thanksgiving goodies, to this address." Then he called his clerk, and sent Mary a letter. Wednesday morning Mother Tolliver handed her the big envelope. This is what she spelled out: "Having been informed that Mary Tolliver was ill on the 8th of November, and was thus prevented from joining in the festivities incident to Thanksgiving Day, I therefore recommend that at a convenient hour on Thursday, December 5, Mr. and Mrs. Tolliver, together with their family and such young friends as Marriott and its employees in the dining-room, and there with hearts full of thankfulness for country, for home, and for the blessed influence of children, partake of such bounties as are usually served in Christian America on the day appointed for National Thanksgiving, and that especial attention be given that Mary shall be invited to spend time with such other delicacies, as are most congenial to her." "Just see his name at the bottom, mamma—the governor's name!" shouted Mary. "And the letter is all ribbons and red wax on the back. Just to think he did this for me!" "Yes, he did it for you, Mary, and you shall have your own Thanksgiving Day. But what will you be thankful for, a week after the time?" "Oh! I'll be thankful I'm so well again. Will that do? And cann't I just as well be thankful this week as last?" And Mother Tolliver thought she could. —S. S. Times. THE FAMILY REUNION. No Other Day In All the Year Serves the Purpose of Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving day serves a purpose supplied by no other day in the year, says a writer in Christian Work. It brings the members of the old home together once more; it brings up the old times and recalls to mind the dear ones, some giving thanks in far-away homes of their own, some of them, alas! not to unite with us at the Thanksgiving board as in former years. But none the less hearty and all the more tender will be the thanksgiving offered, with gratitude for what she was—so sweet, so loving, so exalted her pure life; and there are other blessed ones of earlier years. At this time, then, of family gatherings and family rejoicing, let devout thankfulness lodge in the heart and find expression from the lips, as we recall the blessings of the family relation—the love, the joy, the hope, the blessed memories it nurtures; for these it is which make a paradise on earth and open up a vision of that endless Thanksgiving in the Paradise of God. Mrs. Turkey. Where have you been, pa? Mr. Turkey—I've been seeing that old hen enight the corner, who tells fortunes. She's a fraud. You ought to have heard the character she gave me. Said I was flighty and likely to lose my head; told me I was going to be mixed up in some kind of an affair with a dark lady, and warned me to look out for a bald-headed man with an ax. Did you ever hear of anything so absurd?—Chicago Record-Herald. ARNETT'S PLACE. S. L. PICKETT. Fresh DRUGS 2601 LAWTON AVENUE N. W. Cor. Jefferson and Open Day and N. T. J. BREWER, Proprietor. T. J.

(0) THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publi- cation. (2) Never has missed an Issue. (2) 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 pub- lished in St. Louis as the organ of the Repubiican party. (6) Becance it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it 18 fearless in denonne- ing crime regardless of conse- quences. When ‘the republicans get. together, they can nominate a man next year that will be elected. We do not need any advice from The Mirror of St. Louis. The party has plenty of ma- terial to nominate. But the way the federal courts are sending the demo- erats to Jefferson City, to the peniten- tiary, the only two that will be left out of the penitentiary are Hon. Harry Hawes and Joseph Folk. But if the $16,000 is not accounted for, they will only have one candidate, and that is Hon. Harry Hawes. Why don't Hon. Joseph Folk tell us about the $16,0002 WHY NOT PREPARE FOR ACTION? ‘The so-called leaders of the republi- can party are standing back discussing the dissatisfaction in the democratic party. Why not prepare for the great battle that is to be fought next year at the polls? Why not try and get to- gether? Talk does not amount to any- thing. Get to action, and see about getting together all the voting republi- cans, and stand for the party. At present we have four grand divisions in the republican party—and yet no attempt is made to unify these different elements. When any member of St. James wants printing done, they will call up- on the old Black Man. He fleeced the republican party, then the Independent in 1898, then the democrats again, and Jast he comes back to the republican party and intends to fleece them. Last Sunday he got his graft in on the St. James church for $4.41, for three-quar- ters of a column of reading matter in tne American Eagle. If ona could an- nul his manhood and conscience enough to steal from a church perhaps on¢ might be wealthy. The Old Man is 2 menace to our city, and a disgrace to our race. The idea! $4.41 for three- quarters of a column. THE PROGRESS OF THE PALLA- DIUM. Since the 17th of September, 1898, ‘The Palladium has stood in the front rank as a fearless defender of right, denouncing crime and villiany in every form. Our last fight was against sev- eral conspirators in the post office. We entered the fight when every white pa- per in St. Louis was against him, and they tried their best to blacken his character. But The Palladium belehed forth facts that could not be denied, We sent these facts to Wash- ington, D, C., to the president, and in due time Mr. Foulke came to St. Lovis and found what The Palladium had stated was true, So the investigations ‘were made, and all was seen clearly that Andy McGrew, Joseph Dreyer, Samuel Kober, Birdie Knott and J. J. ‘Tatum were found in the conspiracy, and are now dismissed. MISSOURI METHODISTS. October 12, 1903, our beloved Bishop €. T.

There are nine tables, four in one and five in the other, and Mr. Brooks is indeed one of the most remarkable caracters in many particulars. Less than three years ago he was a hod-carrier, and worked at his vocation till he had accumulated about forty dollars. He had an eye for business, and rented a home at 1323 Market street. But after he had rented the house, finding he had not quite enough cash, he sought a white friend, who assisted him. By his business tact and ability to manage, he rapidly advanced, until now he is a most successful business man. He lives at 1517 Gratiot street. Look and Read.

We have all Negro papers on hand, Eagle, Advance and The Palladium." H. W. Sexton and R. M. Mitchell. These two gentlemen are graduates from an art and drawing school—Mr. Sexton from Cleveland, O., in 1895; Mr. Mitchell from the art and drawing school in 1892 and S. A. Calman. 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. You will then be convinced for their profession. They invite you to call and see for yourself at 2605 Lawton avenue. 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. He has one sister, named Millie Johnson.

FOOTBALL FOOTBALL The management of the Sumner High school team have succeeded in arranging a game of football with the Central High school, of Louisville, Ky. to be played at Handlan's park, corner Laclede and Grand avenues. Thanksgiving afternoon, November 26, at 2:30 o'clock. The game promises to be a most interesting and hotly-contested one. The management of Sumner have gone to great expense in bringing the Louisville team here, and asks for the generous support of the public. The annual Thanksgiving day game has grown to be one of the events of the year, and it was exceedingly flattering to see what a large crown turned out last year, despite the bad weather conditions. It is desired to make the game this year most successful from every standpoint, and Mr. James W. Grant, field manager, is making all arrangements to handle the large crowd expected. Sumner has the strongest team this year in her football history; the boys are in excellent trim, and will put up the battle of their lives to bring the victory to St. Louis. The colors of the Louisville team are black and gold; those of Sumner, maroon and white. --- NOTICE MUSEO DE LA REPUBLICA DE MADRID ILLINOIS BUILDING The Illinois building will stand on high ground.

FIVE YEARS AND A HEAVY FINE The Sentences Imposed by Judge Adams on John P. Dolan and Frank P. Garrett For Fraudulent Naturalization. St. Louis, Nov. 19.—John P. Dolan, chairman of the democratic city committee, and Frank Garrett, a former policeman, were sentenced to five years in the penitentiary for their connection with the naturalization frauds of 1902, by Judge Elmer B. Adams, in the United States district court Wednesday morning. The sentence of Thomas E. Barrett was deferred because of other indictments against him. A crowd was waiting when the doors of the United States district court were opened, in anticipation of the sentencing of the convicted men, and it took but a few minutes to fill every available seat. Notice was given of an intention to apply for a writ of error, and the court was asked to release the defendants on bond, until action could be taken on the writ. The request was refused, and the two men were committed to the custody of the United States marshal. The sentence imposed by the court was the maximum, and in passing it Judge Adams censured the defendants severely. He said, after he had called them before the bar and they declared they had nothing to say: "Of all the offenses known to the law, that of which you have been convicted most seriously affects the public welfare. "It corrupts the source of political and national life. "It works a fraud upon every honest citizen. "It tends to nullify the action of the voters." "In your individual cases, one of you a conservator of the peace, the other ambitions to become one, you have been guilty of these offenses. "You have violated the law and taught others to do so. "You have substituted yourselves for the courts of the land. "You have used your offices for the most ignoble purposes. "All this has been done by you regardless of your duty. "You have been found guilty after a long, patient and expensive trial; you have been represented by able counsel. Nothing remains in the case but to pass sentence. "You have been guilty of but one action, although convicted on a count in two indictments. By reason of this fact, the court will enforce the spirit of the law and sentence you upon one violation of the law, but to the full limit of the law, owing to the great enormity of your offense. "The sentence is that you each be confined in the penitentiary for five years at hard labor, and you are assessed a fine of $1,000 ach." FUNERAL OF ELLA HENNEGER It Was the Largest Ever Seen in Macon County, Ill.-No Trace of Strubbe Or His Team. Havana, Ill., Nov. 19.—The body of Ella Henneger, who was murdered by Fred Strubbe last Saturday night, was buried in the little churchyard near her home Wednesday. The funeral was the largest ever seen in Mason county. The manner of the girl's death had shocked the community and hundreds of persons came from distant points to witness the burial services. Not a single trace has been found of the murderer. Telegrams have been sent by the sheriff to every point within a hundred miles touched by the telegraph wires. It seems improbable that a young man well known in this county, driving a span of horses, could make his way out of the country and escape observation. The spot where the tragedy took place is but a few miles from the Illinois river. Those who hold to the theory of Strubbe's suicide suggest that he may have driven his team over the river bank into the water. Acting upon this suggestion, a party of the young man's friends are searching along the stream for traces of the buggy and team, but so far nothing to confirm this theory has been discovered. Hix Courage Failed Him Paris, Nov. 19.—A dispatch to the Patrie, from Lugano, Switzerland, announces that an anarchist has surrendered to the police there and has confessed that he had been selected to kill the president of Switzerland, but that his courage failed him.

IT'S ALL UP NOW WITH KRATZ Extradition Papers Are Found Flawless by Mexican Government. Circuit Attorney Folk Notified by State Department That Boodler's Case Has Been Acted On. St. Louis, Nov. 18.—Circuit Attorney Joseph W. Folk Tuesday afternoon received a telegram from the department of state at Washington saying that Secretary Hay had received a message from Ambassador Powell Clayton, the representative of the United States at the Mexican capital which stated that the Mexican officials had found the extradition papers in the Kratz papers to be without fault, and would honor them in the shortest possible time. Circuit Attorney Folk says that this means that Charles Kratz the boulder, will be handed over to the St. Louis authorities now in Mexico by the Mexican government, without any legal conflict, and that it will be but a matter of a few days until Chief Desmond and Sheriff Dickmann have their man ready to start on the journey to St. Louis. Circuit Attorney Folk is very jubilant over the message from Washington, and considers his troubles in the case practically over. The delay in the proceedings has been caused in the handling of the extradition papers by the Mexican government. The documents are of very great length, and they had to be read by the interpreters and translated into the Mexican, or Spanish language, before the officials could act on them. This consumed a great deal of time. Kratz has been confined in the Mexican penitentiary at Jalisco for two weeks, owing to the discovery of an alleged conspiracy to rescue him and take him to the coast on horseback, and thence by a convenient vessel to some Central or South American republic. PROTEST AGAINST BLOCKADE State Department Refuses to Recognize the San Domingo Blockade and Enters Vigorous Protest. New York, Nov. 18.—The United States government has refused to recognize the blockade of San Dominican ports, made two days ago, and has protested against it. This was confirmed by Nevada N. Stranahan, collector of the port of New York, Tuesday. The collector received telegraphic advice from the treasury department advising him that the state department does not consider the blockade effective and has entered a vigorous protest against it. The collector, in conformity with his instructions and the protest, has notified masters of vessels sailing to San Dominican ports that clearance papers will be issued for any ports in San Domingo, thus officially refuting the effectiveness of the blockade. At the offices of the Clyde line it was said that the Cherokee will clear to-day for her usual trip, calling at the ports which the local Dominican consuls say are "closed." NEW ANECDOTE OF SHERMAN General Once Expressed Himself as Being Tired of "Marching Through Georgia." New York, Nov. 18—Gen. David B. Henderson, former speaker of the house of representatives, made his first public address Tuesday in this city. The occasion was a dinner given by the Lafayette camp, Sons of Veterans, in commemoration of Sherman's march to the sea. The general's son, P. Tecumseh Sherman, a member of the camp, was present, and the flag that the great soldier once gave the camp and that was carried on his coffin from here to his grave at St. Louis hung over the speaker's table. Gen. Henderson related how, at a reunion of the Army of the Tennessee Gen. Sherman was so annoyed by the bands that he blurted out, "I've got tired of that song, 'Marching Through Georgia.' The battles I wish impressed on my country men are those of the campaign through the Carolinas." ELKINS BEOUEST ILLEGAL The Codicil Providing For the Erection of a Masonic Orphanage Declared to Be Illegal. Philadelphia, Nov. 18.—The bequest of $240,000, or, if necessary, $250,000, for the erection of a Masonic orphanage, made by the late William T. Elkins, has been declared illegal by the register of wills of Montgomery county. This decision is due to the fact that the codicil providing for the gift was made within 30 days of the testator's death, and is therefore inoperative. It will be necessary for the Peirs to make provisions to pay over the sum to the Masonic Home of Pennsylvania if the wishes of Mr. Elkins are to be carried out. Davenports' Trial For Murder. Belleville, Ill., Nov. 18.—The trial of Lawrence Davenport, of East St. Louis, for the murder of his brother-in-law, James Wilkerson, last summer, was commenced in the circuit court at Belleville Tuesday.

He adds to the fun sometimes with a witticism of his own. Such was the case when one of the students perpetrated the following anecdote: "What good recipe for catching rabbits?" "Why, yes," replied the professor. "What is it?" "Well, you crouch down behind a thick stone wall and make a noise like a turnip," answered the youth, giggling in ecstasy.

In a downtown church, as the story goes, there was introduced a new hymn last Sunday, and, after the disposal of the services, the organ blower found his way to the player's bench and asked in a meek voice, "Music for that new hymn go this evening?" "Oh, very well, very well, indeed," replied the organist; "but why do you ask?" "Well," said the blower, "I'll tell you the truth. I was a bit nervous and a bit nervous on explaining, "I never blowed for that hymn before"—Philadelphia Press. The Doctor's Statement. St. John, Kans., Nov. 16th.—This town has a genuine sensation in the case of a little boy, the son of Mr. and Mrs. William McBride. Dr. Lines, the attending physician, says: "Scarlet blood of a very malignant type brings this child very near to death and when the fever left him, he was semi-paralyzed in the right leg and right arm. He also lost hearing in his right ear and his mind was much affected. "His parents tried another treatment for a time and when I was recalled I found that he was having spells very like Epilepsy and was very bad and gradually growing worse. I used a short time the child began to improve. Inside of a week the nervous spasms or epileptic seizures ceased altogether." Mr. and Mrs. McBride have made a sworn statement of the facts and Dr. Jesse L. Lines has added his sworn statement saying that Dodd's Kidney Pills and nothing else cured the fits.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. How many beautiful young girls develop into worn, listless and hopeless women, simply because sufficient attention has not been paid to their physical development.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson in the International Series for November 22, 1903-Curse of Strong Drink. 1. Wine is a more strong drink is rais- nier than whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise 20. Be not among winebibbers; among riotus roes of flesh; 21. For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty! and drowsiness shall elope a man with rags. 22. Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath blindness without cause? who hath redness of eyes. 23. They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. 24. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his color in the cup; when it giveth his color in the light; at the last it bites like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. 25. Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. 26. sea, thou shalt be as he that litch down in the midst of the sea, or as he that litch upon the top of a mast. 27. They have stricken me, shalt thou me, and I felt it; they have beaten me, and I felt it it yet again. GOLDEN TEXT.—Wine is a mocker.—Prov. 20:1. (Prov. 20:1.) Of course these selections from the ancient Hebrew "Wisdom-literature" do not bring us new light on the temperance question. They simply show us that to the world's keenest minds there has always been light, and that from time immemorial liquor has been the curse of the human race. But the facts stated by this writer with such dramatic power are indisputable, and could not picture the situation more perfectly if they had been written in America in 1803. The first great point in the lesson for to-day is not that "wine is a mocker," though it is—it mocks all high ideals and makes dapes of those who trust it, for it is voluble with promises which it never pays—nor is the point for us that strong drink is a brawler, though that is true, as anyone who is familiar with the sights and sounds about the doors of a saloon knows. The first great point for us is in the words: "Whoseover ereth thereby is not wise." As the race advances and men are controlled more by reason and less by inclination and momentary desire, the foolish things will be seen to be wicked, just as the wicked things are always foolish. Drinking is wicked, because it is foolish. It is the high privilege and duty of every man to make the most of himself physically, mentally and morally. This he cannot do unless he rules out the doing of foolish things. There are a great many kinds of physical foolishness that are intemperance, just as truly as drinking is, and these should be included in the discussion of this lesson. The worst crime which a boy can commit lagalust society and against God is that which makes him less of a man, less useful as a citizen, less true as a Christian. The reasons why the use of liquor is, to say the least, not wise, are brought out as the lesson progresses. (Ch. 23: 20, 21). "Be not among winebibbers:" Self-indulgence or the self-indulgent disposition is contagious. No man who has any regard for his manhood can afford to run unnecessary risks with this contagion. The wise man will keep out of temptation just as much as possible. "Shall come to poverty:" With the wreck of one's manhood goes the wreck of his fortune, so that he who sacrifices his ideals and the highest things of life for low sensual pleasures finds himself in the end without either. In choosing the lower he loses all. (Vs. 31, 32). "Look not thou upon the wine when it is red:" In other words, do not be insane enough to drink anything just because it looks good and tastes good, and for awhile makes you feel good, when you know that it is really a poison. "At the last it blithe like a serpent:" It is deadly. The man does not live who can begin taking liquor or a drug "in moderation" with safety, because the system does not exist that can resist the deteriorating effects of those things. One can never tell what the direct effect will be. But it will not be purely physical. They benumb the conscience, destroy will power and kill self-respect. The moderation theory is unsound. The only safe course is to leave them alone entirely. (Vs. 33-35.) These closing verses picture the reading mind and stupefied body of the drunken man. One reading of them is enough without discussion. The question is, how we can best check the evils of intemperance. The principle must be to overcome evil with good, and one of the practical methods is hinted at in this utterance of Henry van Dyke in the baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class at Princeton last June: "Intemperance," he said, "is the type of all evils, because so many others grow out of it. The way to attack it is to make sober life beautiful and full of interest. Teach your boys how to work, how to read and study, you, fathers, before you send them to college. If you want to guard them against the temptations of strong drink and the many shames and sorrows that go with it. You reformers, provide men with recreations that will not harm them, if you want to take away the power of the gilded saloons." PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. Others have troubles, but none has so many as does the drunkard. No one will have the drunkard's bitter experiences, if he does not taste the first cup. Looking, tasting, sipping, draining, guzzling—those are the steps by which one becomes a drunkard. The full consequences do not fall upon the drunkard himself. His family suffers with him. Banish the saloon, and you make safe the home. Many homes are dismantled that there may be one dirty saloon. Was Afont with Napoleon. Two men living in St. Helena who were born respectively in 1798 and 1862 are not the only persons now living who have seen Napoleon the Great. Thomas De Moleyns, who was for many years county court judge of Kilkenny, who was called to the Irish bar in 1831, and appointed a queen's counsel in 1855, in his early boyhood in the royal navy. Mr. De Moleyns was a midshipman on board the Bullerophon when Napoleon, on July 15, 1815, after the "hundred days," placed himself under the flag of his country and was received on board the Bullerophon.—Chicago Tribune. Money Value of Toads. Mr. A. H. Kirkland asserts, after an examination of the character of the food eaten by toads, that those ugly little animals are great benefactors of the farmer. They destroy enormous numbers of injurious insects and other enemies of cultivated crops. The amount of money that a single toad might save to a farmer in one season by the destruction of cutworms has been estimated at nearly $20. This calculation is based on the damage that the number of cutworms a toad could eat in a season would be able to effect among growing crops.—Youth's Companion. One of Many.

There comes a time to both men and women when sickness and poor health bring anxiety and trouble hard to bear; disappointment seems to follow every effort of physicians in our behalf, and remedies we try have little or no effect. In many such cases serious mistakes are made in doctoring, and not knowing what the disease is or what makes us sick. Kind nature warns us by certain symptoms, which are unmistakable evidence of danger, such as too frequent desire to urinate, scanty supply, scalding irritation, pain or dull ache in the back—they tell us in silence that our kid- ART ENTHUSIASM.

One day he saw a newly finished picture on the casel, relates the New York Times. "Ah! that's fine," he burst out, "fine! There's lots of life, lots of animation in that, my boy. You've struck the right thing now—life and action." "But, father, I don't understand what you mean." "Why, that picture has action, movement in it. Look at those horses, rearing and tearing ahead, tugging at the reins—and their riders are standing up in their stirrups, snouting and waving their sabers over their heads—the whole picture is movement and animation.

Office 4265 St. Ferdinand Ave. Mr. Jeff Smith. We wish to present Mr. Jeff. Smith, who conducts a saloon on 1201 Morgan street, and another on the southeast corner of Twelfth and Wash. He is one of the most remarkable characters that we have come across. He conducted a saloon at the same number for Mr. Barney Belker, who now keeps a grocery opposite his place. Mr. Belker, during bad health, placed implicit confidence in Mr. Smith, and when he went out of business he offered Mr. Smith certain considerations. Mr. Smith's financial condition did not permit him to accept the offer, but Mr. Belker trusted the saloon to Mr. Smith. In three years Mr. Smith managed not only to return the debt, but also to open another saloon. All who are acquainted with Mr. Smith speak well of his integrity and thrift. Not only that, but everyone who has been in his employ, speak of Mr. Smith's kind and just attitude toward him. Mr. Smith first began advertising in The Palladium over two years ago, and of all its subscribers he was the first to pay in advance. Of course he knows The Palladium knows no such word as fail. Mr. Smith has been in poor health for the past few months, but is up again, and his friends hope for his ultimate success. He has several brothers; one is with him in business. Mr. Smith lives at 1333 Gay street. A MOST REMARKABLE CHARAC 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 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 fifteenth street. BUD GATEWOOD. Captain. IRVIN WHEELER Business Agen THE 400 A. Mrs. Ples Holly is quite sick, and will leave Newport for Cairo, Tuesday morning, 17th inst., with the hope of becoming better. ESSENCE. It is exceedingly quiet around Newport now, both because of the falling off of work and of the grand jury's inquiries as to so much lawlessness in shooting about the streets. Your correspondent here in Newport learned, incidentally, that a certain citizen claims that the statement made in The Palladium—issue of October 17—as to "Mr. Ples Holly, a league member, has a nice little home here," is not true. The general sentiment here is that the would-be critic of the truthful "nice little home" statement thinks he is better than his own people, with whom he has nothing to do in the way of assisting the community to be better. The community in which a person lives is by far a truer, more universal and substantial self of the individual than his single would-be big self. Why, my friend, Mr. Editor, who has known me for years, what happiness would you or any other individual get out of St. Louis, which is now not St. Louis Missouri, but St. Louis, The World, if it would be given you on the condition that everyone else leave, and that you sustain absolutely no communication with a living human being on the earth? Would you accept the bargain. No! An everlasting no! What would St. Louis, The World, be to you or anyone with no human companionship? What would Newport be to our friend Critic on the same condition of absolute excommunication. Now, my friend Critic, come out from your little, insignificant, dying worm-of-the-dust self, and put on your truer and more cosmopolitan self, and try Ples Holly-like, to make Newport your home, a more respectable place to live. So I repeat: "Mr. Ples Holly has a nice little home." Not finely decorated with paint, furniture and a grassy lawn, but a comfortable shelter from rain, snow and storm, to which he can freely return when you would not admit him to yours. Honorable hard-worked-for comfort is always "nice" to him who earns it. Thus I claim truth for the statement: "Mr. Ples Holly has a nice little home."
