ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM LANDERS Vol. XIX. No. 50. LANDERS CO. FIRST BAPTIST NOTES Rev. Woodson, of Athens, Ill. preached at the First Baptist church last Sunday night. His sermon was listened to with marked attention by a crowded house. The Christian Wisdom Society gave a very interesting concert and dramatic entertainment on Thanksgiving night at the First Baptist church, which was quite a success. The Carnation club served dinner at the First Baptist church last Thursday evening, which was one of the finest Thanksgiving dinners ever served at said church. Mrs. M. J. Grant, president. Mary Terraill club and Women's Federation society meets every fourth Sunday at the First Baptist church. This society was organized for the purpose of helping the poor and needy, and to visit the sick and afflicted, regardless of denomination. Mrs. Julia Townsend, president; Miss M. B. Tyler, secretary. Mr. Garfield Craven, a notable young man at the First Baptist church, has written a fine dramatic play, in five acts, subject; "A Rich Widow and Two Daughters." It took him three days to write this play, which is one of the finest ever written by a Colored man in this city. He will make his first dramatic effort at the First Baptist church during fair week, which will commence on December 21, at said church. Every body is invited. EAST ST. LOUIS. Henry Cross, Colored, proprietor of the Yellow Dog saloon near the Black Bridge, was arrested by Detective Kane, last Saturday, on a charge of selling liquor without a government license. He is out on $500 bond to appear before United States Commissioner Browning, November 24. Louis, who was fined $250 and costs in the circuit court for assaulting Sylvester Von Puhl, of St. Louis, while Stacey was a member of the East St. Louis police department, was released from jail at Belleville, last Saturday, his fine and costs, amounting to $319.8, being paid by friends. The S. H. C. Club. The S. H. C. met at the residence of Mrs. V. Garrett, 2604 Stoddard, this being a special call meeting, to arrange to give a Grown People's Children party early in December, and report of the work accomplished during the month. Each lady made two garments, and will be represented in the department of the White Woman's Guild this season, and through this effort the Colored institutions will receive a larger amount of useful clothing if applied for. An invitation was received, inviting the club to be present at a tea on the opening day, which the ladies accepted. With such an efficient president, at the head, the members are putting forth every effort to make this club second to none in charity work, although organized just eight months ago. The next meeting will be at the residence of Mrs. Georgia Patillos. At Last She Came After a married life of 12 years, Mrs. Dora Douglass, of 4060 Fallafax avenue, presented her husband with a beautiful girl. The mother is rejoicing, and the husband walks the floor at night, with the words: "Baby, mine! Baby, mine!" When at his work he is still murmuring: "O, yes, it is my baby; baby, mine!" A Pretty Home Wedding. Miss Mayme I. Washington was married to Mr. Jerry D. Williams, Wednesday evening, November 18, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Perkins, 4341 Cottage avenue. Rev. F. McKinney officiated. Mr. and Mrs. Williams will reside at the above number, and their many friends wish them success. They received many valuable and useful presents. A Free Negro Muss. A few days ago, Mrs. Bloomfield and husband threw a brick through the window of Mr. Young, the tailor at 2607 Lucas avenue. The parties were arrested and fined for disturbing the peace of the tailor man, and we wish to say in next week's issue of The Palladium we will give full particulars of the "Nigger muss," as we like to make people happy. Antioch Church Notes Rev. S. P. Anderson preached morning and evening, last Sunday. His sermons were logical and instructive. All enjoyed them, and felt to be strengthened. Night School. We would like to know the reason that some persons are required to pay 20 cents per month for night schools and others go free. The school board will please look into this. [Name] MISS OLIVETTE WILLIAMS. Mr. Jas. W. Grant presents Mme. Olivette Williams, late principal soprano with "Black Patti Troubadours", and Mr. Louis Williams, the great professional grotesque comedian, supported by an all star company, at Washington-Metropolitan A.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS The schedule of autumn examinations by the civil service commission, among which will be held examinations for railway, mail, departmental and post office clerk and carrier. There are an unusual large number of Colored applicants applying for these positions, several of whom are under the care of Newsome and Randals, receiving instruction and qualifying themselves for the position. Call and see them at their office, 4265 St. Ferdinand. Dr. Crossland, of St. Joseph, Mo.—O! Crossland, The Palladium man calls thee. We hope the response will soon come. "Here I am, O! Palladium man! What will thou have me do?" The Palladium man will say: "Dr. Crossland, you know." ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1903.

Miss Estella Buckner, president; M. A. Lawrence, corresponding secretary. The young Negro men of St. Louis are as square as any class of our citizens. When we consider that almost every avenue is closed against them, and yet they live and look as respectable as any class of our citizens. We have often said, let the white man give us an equal show, and let us alone, and the young Negro of to-day will make his mark. NEWSOME, RANDALS & THOMAS, Stenographers, Typewriters and Reporters.

Will Harris, formerly a compositor on this paper, is now with The Palladium at St. Louis.—St. Joseph Spectator. Will Harris is not with The Palladium. He was for two weeks, and he left between two suns. He went to Indianapolis, and was with the Journal about one week, and the eagle eyes of that paper was the cause of his leaving. It is reported that he went to Richmond, Ind., to get on a paper that will be started there. We will keep an eye on him. 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. The football, last Thursday, at Handlan's park, was indeed very interesting, and all seemed to have a good time. At some intervals of the play some bad feelings were ingendered (and that rightfully on the part of one of the teams), yet at the close of the game all was well. The weather was extremely cold, and we would advise the young ladies to go and see some other game beside that of football. A decent bullfight is quite elevating to that of football. We are aware that some of the supposed best people all over this country are playing football, yet that does not make it right, and it does not call for the elevation of our young boys and girls. M. STERRETT FOR CONGRESS STERRETT FOR CONGRESS The Palladium's Choice for a Successor to Bartholdt. The Palladium announces 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 Westtitche 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 defended him, and the paper "THAT HE FELL HEIR TO THROUGH THE BREWERS," has been disposed of at a crank 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. C. H. TANDY. Will leave for Oklahoma next Monday. We are pleased to know Rev. Peck has charge of Albu chapel, in Kansas City, Mo., a Godsend to that church, and a true ambassador of God. Rev. J. C. Colwell is in St. Joseph, Mo. We know him to be a worthy Christian gentleman. $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents. KALB FELL COLORED PYTHIANS TO ERECT TWO BUILDINGS. Sanitarium to Be Located at Hot Springs—No Site for Temple. The commission appointed by Supreme Chancellor S. W. Starks, of the International Order of Colored Knights of Pythias, to perfect plans for the erection of a national Pythian temple and a national sanitarium, pursuant to a resolution adopted at the twelfth biennial session of the supreme lodge, held in this city last September, convened in the Forum club, 2614 Lawton avenue. All members were present, as follows: S. W. Sparks, West Virginia; C. K. Robinson, Missouri; S. A. T. Watkins, Illinois; E. D. Green, Illinois; R. A. Blount, Alabama; Dr. C. M. Wade, Arkansas; W. T. Jones, Mississippi; L. L. Mitchell, Texas; L. W. Green, Louisiana; J. M. Hazelwood, West Virginia; J. I. Jones, Ohio; C. D. Creswell, Georgia, and A. W. Lloyd, Missouri. After an all-day session, the commission decided to erect a national sanitarium to cast $25,000, at Hot Springs, Ark. It also decided upon the erection of a temple to cost not more than $75,000, but, owing to the contest between the states, the commission was unable to reach a decision as to where to locate it. The committee of the Missouri grand lodge, which was appointed to confer with the supreme lodge commission with a view to securing the national temple for St. Louis, for which it tendered a bonus of $5,000, also held a lengthy caucus in the same building, and as a result, decided to withdraw its proposition. Instead, it will erect a state temple here at a cost of $50,000, for which purpose it has on hand $10,000. Committees to take charge of the work were appointed as follows: Ways and means, A. W. Lloyd, Dr. D. W. Scott, W. W. Trice and Wm. H. Goff, all of St. Louis; T. B. Burris, Macon; Jas. A. Denny, Huntsville, and W. A. Gunnell, D e Soto; location, C. H. Brown, D. E. Gordon, Dr. W. P. Curtis, Dr. J. W. McDowell and W. E. Osborne, all of St. Louis. The K. of P. An entertainment, followed by a dance, was given, Thursday night, by Battle-Ax Co. No. 4, uniform rank, Colored Knights of Pythias. One of the features was a competitive prize drill for the local championship between the several companies of Pythian Knights. The prizes were awarded as follows: First, $25, to L'Overture company; second, $15, Mound City company. The Coliseum drill corps, composed of girls, secured a prize of $25 in a competitive drill. J. H. Kent, captain of L'Overture company, and Mrs. C. K. Robinson, captain of the drill corps of girls. About two thousand people were present. WHY NOT PREPARE FOR ACTION? The so-called leaders of the republican 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 together? Talk does not amount to anything. Get to action, and see about getting together all the voting republicans, 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.

How seemed it to the iad, As down Moriah's slope they slowly went, They who had gilmsped th' eternal plan of God. Behind, the pressure of encircling cords, The vision of a sacrificial knife, And dying ashes upon altar-stones, Before, a life that nevermore might be The glad, free life of sunny-hearted youth- For he had looked into the face of death. How seemed it to the lad. When at the mountain's base they ran to meet. And welcome back the chieftain and his son? Marked they upon his brow a graver shade? With his eyes a stronger, clearer light as pamplied with power beyond his own And said they, under breath, from man to man, The while they passed along the home-ward way: "The prince has seen—has seen and talked with God?" How seemed it to the lad. When for his mother's greeting low he knelt. And felt her welcoming kiss upon his cheek? Oh, did she see, with tender mother-sight, A change had come? And think you that he told The tale to her? Or did he hold it close. Too sacred for the common speech of earth. While dimly seeing through the mists of In one great Sacrifice, the type fulfilled? —Alice M. Gurnsey, in Youth's Compan STRINGS THAT PULL. "Our Tastes Are Strings Pulling Us Into Place"—Hence Duty of Cultivating Right Tastes. There seem to be many misfits in this world, but after all, before lives are finished, most of them are seen to be fitted into their places, says the Philadelphia Young People. The thing which a man can do, and can do best, is generally that which is appointed him. If one has a passion or even a predilection for a certain thing, he will make or find a chance somehow to do what he longs to do, and will obtain a degree of proficiency in it. "Our tastes," says one, "are strings pulling us into place." The taste for books and music will pull one into the place of libraries, songs and sweet sounds, inevitably, invariably. There may not be complete gratification, nor perfect development of existing talent, but the taste that dominates the man and the circumstances. The strings pull, and with definite results. In spite of difficulties, Elihu Burritt's taste for books, pulls, even at the blacksmith's forge, and Abraham Lincoln lies at full length upon the cabin floor to read by the light of the flaming brands. Did not these men, and multitudes of others, find their places? Did not the strings pull? Such notable and instinctive relish for the best things is God-given, and the bestowal is one of the means whereby the place is found. It is often far better to be thus puffed into place than to be born in it. What is the duty then? It is two-fold: Strengthen these strings that pull by cultivating to the utmost the taste for the best things, determined not to stop short of the right place for the exercise of it; and never be discouraged by obstacles which seem to hinder reaching the place toward which the soul is longing and the possibility of doing the best work. HOW WORK REACTS. Great Purposes and Great Efforts Never a Total Failure-A Truth Often Overlooked. Work makes the workman. That truth is as certain and as important as that the workman makes his work. A man's manhood, his character, wisdom, skill, are largely developed by the things which he has done. A writer on sociological subjects says that the University of Oxford went to East London to convert East London, but East London converted the University of Oxford. He meant that, while the efforts of the Oxford settlements were not exceedingly manifest in results in London, they were very manifest in changes of thought and ideals at Oxford. The success or failure of good endeavors is relatively unimportant; they have accomplished a great purpose either way in the one who makes the endeavors. Often, when we fall in our work, God makes our work succeed with us. And how really unimportant is the prominence or the obscurity of our labors! How little it matters whether the work be done within the four walls of a home! So long as it is faithfully done, it will accomplish that purpose in us for which, very likely, it was sent. Work, then, for what you can do by your work, and also for what your work can do for you.—S. S. Times. The Saloon a Corrputer. The New York Wine and Spirit Gazette is quoted in one of its temperance exchanges—we do not have the felicity of seeing the paper in this office—as saying that the new excise law of New York could easily have been defeated if the liquor men of the state had only been live enough to take "cash money" to Albany and pay down for votes of legislators at the rate of $5,000 per legislator. It rails against its own friends because some "who probably thought themselves very smart fellows attempted to do business in the legislature on a promissory basis." It may be set down as one certain thing in the problem of political corruption in this country, that we will never get rid of it as long as the saloon exists.—Chicago interior. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson in the International Series for November 29, 1903-David's Charge to Solomon. THE LESSON TEXT. (1 Chron. 28:1-10.) 1. And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the vallant men, unto Jerusalem. 2. Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren and my people: As for me, I had in mine hands the sword of the Lord, and for the covenant of the Lord, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building: 3. But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build a house for My name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood. 4. Howbeit the Lord God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for He hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father He liked me to make me king over all Israel: 5. And of all my sons (for the Lord hath given me) to be chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel. 6. And He said unto me, Soilom thy son, he shall build My house and My courts; for I have chosen him to be My son, and I will be his father. 7. Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do My commandments and My judgments, as at this day. 8. Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the Lord, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the Lord your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever. 9. And thou, Solommy my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and the Lord searcheth all思念 of the thoughts: if they seek Him He will be found of thee; but if thou forsake Him, He will cast thee off for ever. 10. Take heed now; for the Lord hath chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it. GOLDEN TEXT—Trust in the Lord with all thine heart—Prov. 3:5. OUTLINE OF SCRIPTURE SECTION.

Chron. 21:4-10 David's Charge to Solomon..... 1. Chron. 21:3-10 1 Chron. 28.9-10 NOTES AND COMMENTS NOTES AND COMMENTS. (1' Chon. 21-27.) One of the great desires of David's heart had been to build a worthy temple for the ark of Jehovah, but conditions in Israel were not ripe for an era of building. Peace had to be secured with surrounding nations and the new kingdom compacted and organized before that time could come. So Saul and David built the kingdom, leaving the temple for Solomon to build. This was the natural, and indeed the only possible, order. The site which David selected for the temple was the threshing-floor of Ornan (or Araunah), just outside of the eastern wall of the city. It was here that David saw the apparition in the sky at the time of the great pestilence—an angel with a drawn sword in his hand—and sacrificed to Jehovah with a prayer that the contagion be checked. This seemed to David, because of the deliverance which came, a fitting place for the great national sanctuary. The story is told in two places, 2 Sam. 24:1-24 and 1 Chron. 21:1-20. The chapters intervening between this incident and day's lesson are filled with details of David's preparation for the building, and an elaborate scheme of the organization of the kingdom both civil and religious (Ch. 28:1-3.) "All the princes of Israel," etc. A brilliant assemblage such as Jerusalem had probably never seen before. "That served the king by course:" See 1 Chron. 27:1-5 These men were probably in charge of the building operations. "David the king:" Though he had really made Solomon king in his place, he was still "David the king" in the hearts of the people. "Stood up upon his feet:" David was a feeble old man, and usually remained seated when he addressed the people, but this was an unusually important and impressive occasion. (Vs. 4-8.) "Solomon thy son, he shall build:" One of the greatest joys parents can have is to see their children go forward to do things which they could not do. A father lives again and ought to live better in the life of his son. "Will establish his kingdom . . . if:." There is always an "if." Growth, success, happiness, Heaven, may be had only by observing certain conditions which are not arbitrarily made but exist in the nature of things. "Observe and seek out . . . commandments:." It is not enough to observe the conditions that are most conspicuously forced upon the attention. We must "seek them out" just as far as we can. (Va. 9, 10.) "Know thou the God or thy father:" A father is largely responsible for the attitude of his son to God. "A perfect heart:" Grudging service is not acceptable in God's sight "Take heed . . . for Jehovah hath chosen thee:" One of the greatest incentives to right living is the thought that God has put one into the world to do a certain important work for his fellow men. This holds a man steady when merely selfish considerations like present or future happiness for himself do not. PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. It is a blessing to have it in one's heart to do anything for the name of the Lord. It is a blessing to acquiesce in the will of the Lord when one's wish to do something for Him is denied. God's house, which speaks of His good-will to men, should not be built with blood-stained hands. How quickly the world would be reformed if men were as anxious to be right as they are to prove other wrong.—Ram's Horn. All Work First Class. Terms Most Reasonable Successful Embalming Guaranteed.

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 $16,000? ‘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 Delched 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. Louis 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, ‘end are now dismissed. a Sx a . cay oer ny \ RV py s— Choy om PBN ie an aN Gy RE Our old friend and brother J.

There are nine tables, four in one and five in the other, and Mr. Brooks is indeed one of the most remarkable characters 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.

It is the privilege of a queen to be ministered to by ladies in whose veins flows some of the noblest blood among her subjects; and when, as in Queen Alexandra's case, she can call each aristocratic servitor a personal and devoted friend, bound to her as much by ties of affection as of loyalty, she is indeed to be envied. ladies of the bedchamber are women of great social gifts and charm, and are rather the queen's friends than her servants. The duties are both light and pleasant, involving a residence at courteously exceeding six weeks, which is made as agreeable to them as possible, whether amid the ceremonial There is perhaps no greater lady in all the peerage than the duchess of Buccleuch, who is proud to be mistress of the robes to her majesty. The daughter, sister, wife and aunt of dukes, she has every qualification for her office which exalted rank can give her; and when we add to this that she is tall, stately and handsome, a queen of society and a woman of rare charm and many gifts, and that she was an intimate friend of our late queen, as she is of Queen Alexandra, Mary Catherine DUCHESS OF BUCCLEUCH. (Mistress of the Robes to Her Majesty, Queen Alexandra.) it is clear that she has exceptional qualifications for her high office. The mistress of the robes is chief of all the queen's ladies and a brilliant and imposing figure at all state ceremonials, while, in addition to the manifold duties of her position, she enjoys the doubtful privilege of giving a state dinner on the evening of the opening of parliament, and of being attired in black when in attendance at court. Next in importance to the mistress of the robes come the four ladies of the bedchamber, who are rarely of less rank than that of countess. Ualike the mistress of the robes, whose appointment is political, these ladies are appointed by the queen, and are usually either personal and dear friends or the wives or daughters of distinguished men who have established a claim to royal gratitude. The countess of Antrim, for instance, was the daughter of the late Gerald Grey, an old and dear friend of Queen Victoria, and Lady Gosford is a daughter of the duchess of Manchester, one of the most intimate friends of the royal family. All four THE ART OF SMOCKING. Mother Who Has Mastered It Need Never Worry About Trimmings for Children's Frocks. "Smocking is one of the prettiest decrations possible for children's frocks and aprons, and is equally appropriate for cotton suits and shirts for women, as it launches beautifully and lasts forever." "But it is so difficult to learn how to do it!" said the mother of a youthful family, who took great pleasure in mak- 1...7 2...2 3...3 4...4 7...7 6...6 5...5 11...4 8...8 9...9 10...10 12...12 PRINCIPLE OF SMOCKING. mg little garments. "I have puzzled over the directions given in art books for the English method and the American method, and they all seem to me hopelessly complicated." "I felt that way myself at first," said the friend who had suggested the smocking of some new aprons. "I puzzled over the different directions in vain, and finally gave it up. One day, however, I sat down with a bit of camaric and some linen floss, and inverted a method of my own, which was perfectly simple and worked satisfactorily. I will try to explain it to you. I first creased my muslin in vertical lines about a third of an inch apart, then, beginning on the left ladies of the bedchamber are women of great social gifts and charm, and are rather the queen's friends than her servants. The duties are both light and pleasant, involving a residence at court rarely exceeding six weeks, which is made as agreeable to them as possible, whether amid the ceremonial of Windsor and Buckingham palace or in the peaceful environment of Balmoral. All their expenses, except those of dress, are borne by the queen, and, as the ladies are usually chosen from those who are not too liberally provided for, the salary is a very comfortable addition to their private means. The two extra ladies of the bedchamber are usually peeresses whose days of active service are practically over, and whose reward is a sinecure office with an acceptable salary attached. The two extra ladies of Queen Alexandra are much older than her majesty, and were among her earliest friends and attendants when she first came to us a "radiant bride from beyond the seas." Of the four bedchamber women the most notable is Hon. Charlotte Knolly, the daughter of Lord Knollys, who for many years has been an intimate and highly-trusted companion of the queen. Unlike the other ladies, Miss Knollys is in constant attendance on her majesty, acts as her amanuensis and is indispensable in a hundred ways. Of the maids of honor there are four, all beautiful and gifted, and in every way charming. Two of them are the lovely twin daughters of the late Lord Vivian, to whom the queen is greatly attached. They are always, when possible, in attendance together, and by the queen's wish dress exactly alike. A very gifted young lady is Hon. Mary Dyke, daughter of Sir William Hart Dyke, whose musical skill and sunny gayety are highly valued by the queen; and Hon. Slyvia Edwardes, who was a favorite of Queen Victoria, is almost equally clever and charming. To the maids of honor falls the agreeable duty of acting in turn as the queen's companions; they read, sing and play to her, and generally entertain her. They frequently accompany her on drives and walks, share her hobbies, from fancy work to photography, and, in short, fulfill their mission in life by being pretty, amiable, helpful and amusing. The lot of the maids of honor is indeed an enviable one, for when they marry they receive the welcome dower of £1,000, they are entitled to the description of "honorable" for the rest of their lives, are practically assured of a suite of rooms at Hampton court and a probable place in the royal household for their husbands. Indeed, apart from the great honor, the profit and pleasure of being one of the "queen's ladies," they are always assured of the royal favor and everything that it means in the way of unfalling kindness and consideration. hand side, I caught two of the creased folds marked 1-1 in the diagram together at the edge with two or three over-and-over stitches. Then, passing the needle under the second fold, I brought it out a third of an inch below, and repeated the same stitch with the folds marked 2-2, bringing the needle out at the first 2 and passing it down underneath to No. 3, and joining it again with the same stitch to 3 on the first fold, then passing the needle under the 3 to No. 4, taking the stitch to the opposite 4, afterward going up in the same way to 5-5, then 6-6, and so on. "The whole principle is first to keep equal distances, which is easy to do with the eye when the folds are creased evenly, and secondly, to preserve the elasticity which renders smocking so pretty and desirable, by always following the fold on the wrong side when taking an upward or a downward stitch. If, as sometimes happens, this is impracticable, the stitch should be fastened at the point where it is caught together and cut off. I hope I have been able to make this plain to you, and that you will try smocking those little aprons with red cotton, or white, if you prefer, for when you have once learned how to do it, you will find it is the quickest and prettiest way to ornament children's clothes."—N. Y. Tribune. Odd Cries Heard in Cairo. In oriental countries the recklessness of drivers of vehicles and their disregard for foot passengers is very marked; but in Cairo they have a series of curious cries with which they warn a footman. They specify the particular part of his anatomy which is in danger, as thus: "Look out for the left shin, O uncle." "Bey, have a care for the little toe on thy right foot." "O, blind beggar, look out for thy staff." And the blind beggar, feeling his way with the staff is his right hand, at once obediently turns to the left. "O, Frankish woman, look out for thy left foot." "O, burden bearer, thy load is in danger." "O, water carrier, look out for the tail-end of thy pigskin water bottle." True Beauty Culture. Don't think it enough to be a beauty; in order to approach perfection a woman should try to improve herself morally and intellectually, as well as physically. Neighborly.

A recent seizure of a lot of "cheap" baking powders by the authorities of a neighboring city has exposed the character of the low priced brands of baking powders which many manufacturers are offering throughout the country. The price of the powders first attracted attention to them. Samples were taken and analyzed. The official report of the analysis showed the stuff to be "alum powders," composed chiefly of alum, sulphuric acid and pulverized rock. The powders were declared dangerous to health and several thousand pounds were confiscated and destroyed. Physicians have frequently cautioned consumers against mixing food with these so-called "cheap" baking powders. They are all found, when analyzed, to contain large percentages of alum and sulphuric acid to which are added various sorts of filling matter sometimes both injurious and nasty.

At a school in Germany an examination was recently held, and here are some of the answers given by the pupils: "Veres plundered the temples of Sicily and then took them home with him; nevertheless, he won his lawsuit, for he bribed his opponent." "Napoleon I. was born on August 18 1868, and this was destined to be the most remarkable in his entire life, since he ascended the throne of France on December 2, 1864." "In the time of the ancient Romans priests wore a fillet, which went over the head and neck and into the shoulder-blade." "Schiller's life came to a final end on May 9, 1805." "There were three Punic wars—namely, the first, second and third." "In reading Klopstock one must look for the argument, and even if it is not there one must find it." "in regard to Homer, no one knows whether, where, how or why he was born." "The national hymn should always be sung standing with bare feet." "Ladislaus Posthmus was a good-humored ruler, but he was defective in the matter of birth."—St. Louis Star. Good Municipal Government. Information from various cities of the country of drastic measures being employed to purify municipal government is likely to create an impression that we are hastening to one of the most advanced stages of corruption. The truth lies in the opposite direction. The people are aroused, and the disposition to have crooked things made straight is approaching a contagion. Within a brief time there have been more and stronger moves in this direction than during any like period in our history. There is manifest a determination to have honesty and economy in the administration of municipal affairs, which, if it be sustained, must bear good fruit. It is not probable that a uniformity of municipal laws and regulations throughout the country will be established within the life of any of those interested, for there are forty-five different states to handle, each differing from the others in physical, industrial, social and political characteristics. But there is the more immediate possibility of compelling a higher degree of efficiency, integrity and good faith on the part of municipal servants. —Detroit Free Press. St. Pierre and Sodom Emperor William compared the disaster at Martinique to that at Pompeii, but Mme. Jane Dieulafoy, a well-known French writer, maintains that it resembles much more closely the disaster which befell Sodom and Gomorrah. "It is impossible," she says, "to read about these two disasters without being struck by their similarity. In both cases the country was admirably fertile—indeed, a veritable Garden of Eden; in both cases the sun rose radiant, and scarcely was it above the horizon before a stream of fire and rocks was launched into the air and fell upon St. Pierre and the two accursed cities; in both cases a column of black smoke arose from the crater and mounted high up into the sky. "It is true that volcanic eruptions always present somewhat similar phenomena, but it is very doubtful if any eruptions ever resembled each other so much as these two. "Moreover, this similarity is especially interesting, since it is a clear proof that the Biblical writers obtained their facts from sure sources, and took no pains to distort them."—St. Louis Star. Reciprocity With Canada. Where there are common interests there should be a common country. There is no doubt of the advantages which would accrue allike to the people of Canada and of the United States from unobstructed, commercial relations. If the bars to free trade should once be pulled down they would never be again erected, and political union would almost inevitably follow commercial union. It is only the representatives of officialism, and of special interests opposed to the general interests, that obstruct popular inclination toward the tender of reciprocal advantages which should naturally result from the inheritance of a common language, a common law and a common heritage of opportunity.—Philadelphia Record.

The Italians are considering plans for the construction of a double tunnel, about two miles in length, between the toe of Italy and the island of Sicily. The tunnel is to run under the straits of Messina, not far from the site of Scylla and Charybis, the rocks and the whirlpool, which were so dreaded by ancient mariners. It was at first proposed that a bridge be thrown across the straits, but it was thought that this would be too much exposed to the winds, which are occasionally violent between the opposing mountains of Sicily on one side and Calabria on the other—N. Y. Sun. On the Frontier. "Did you hear it?" "Yes; what was it?" "It sounded to me like swish, swish, swish." "It sounded to me like creak, creak, creak." "Ha! I have it!" "So have I." "It is the stiffly starched skirts of the Grecian army crossing over the frontier line." "That's what." — Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Minute Lamp. Physicians occasionally use, for the purpose of illuminating parts of the interior of the body, a delicate electric lamp, called the "pea lamp," because its little glass bulb resembles a small pea in size, being only one-quarter of an inch in diameter. It is, nevertheless, a complete incandescent lamp, having a carbon film one-eighth of an inch long, and about one-two-thousandth of an inch in diameter.-N. Y. Sun. As Good as Married.

"I know, of course, that I can trust you, but I have learned that it is better not to talk to anybody when I am maturing an important movement. Now, take this last refunding operation of the treasury, involving $20,000,000. Why, man. I said nothing to anybody about it, until all of it leaked out before I was ready for it."

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 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 1831 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 new 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. BUD GATEWOOD. Captain. IRVIN WHEELER Business THE 400 A. NEWS FROM NEWPORT, ILL. Mr. Editor—I have just come home from Mr. Isaac Hall, where we held an informal meeting of the League, and where Mr. Holly and I, both bachelors, enjoyed a good dinner prepared by the very pleasant lady, Mrs. Hall. Mr. Doc Gill was over, and as he and myself were entering a protest against our friend's (Hall) statement of his intention to leave Newport for what he thinks is better quarters in southern Illinois, two ladies called for me. These ladies were Mrs. John Newswom, formerly of St. Louis, and Mrs. Mallord and her two little boys, Charley and Crawford, recently from Memphis, Tenn. These ladies are interested in the Sunday-school of the newly-established A. M. E., church, and called upon your correspondent to ascertain as to whether he would aid them in the worthy and much-needed work. Mr. Editor, this calls to memory the pleasant days of yore, when yo and I worked in Sunday-school at old St. Paul's, on Eleventh street, St. Louis. Past are those days of youth's light heart. That never thought the days we'd part. The K. P.'s held an all-night meeting in East St. Louis, Saturday, November 21, making some eighteen candidates into Knights. Our friend, Doc Gill, in the process of becoming knighted, tried to leave a thumb, so much was be in love with the knighting differentia. Our friend, Lewis Watkins, your agent for The Palladium here in Newport, revealed so fully in the knighting hilarity that he failed in his duty of distribution, to the disappointment of many of our readers. I think he will not permit "joy unconfined" to so intoxicate him into so gross a neglect of business again. Rev. Enoch Gibson, pastor of the Missionary Baptist church here, is a building contractor. He also runs a vegetable stand. He solicits patronage of Newport's public. Yours July, Chancery J. Hilley, World's Fair Barber Shop. The World's Fair Barber shop is up-to-date.
