The Orphean Dancing Academy opening, Feb. 5th, proved one of the most successful social gatherings of the season. Mr. Jas. W. Grant, the master of the new school, was given a well deserved ovation by a host of his friends. True Reformers' Hall was filled with a gay throng of dancers, who were Antioch Church News. The revival meetings are progressing nicely under the leadership of the pastor, Rev. F. McKinney, assisted by Rev. R. F. Stennis. They, with the church, are laboring hard, and souls are being brought to Christ. Sunday morning, Rev. McKinney spoke from 15th chapter and 17th verse of St. Luke. His subject was "Madness of Sin." The subject was well hardled, and very impressive. Saint and sinner are invited to attend these meetings. Tuesday evening, February 2, Rev. M. P. Mack preached a good sermon from 17th chapter 17th verse of Matthew. Rev. Mack is pastor of one of the leading Baptist churches at Sedalia, Mo. Meetings.

Mahurin, of Fort Wayne, Ind., is the architect. The building will occupy a splendid pition in the state group, facing the north, and fronting on two of the main avenues. Arkansas' site is across the avenue on the north and Iowa's building, already up, is on the east. Rhode Island's building will be immediately west. The outside dimensions of the Indiana building are 100 by 125 feet. It will stand on a rise of treated to a most delightful entertainment. Prof. Wm. D. Flowers, director of the Academy orchestra, gave a fine programme of dance music and the neatly uniformed attendants lent color to the scene that was as graceful as it was unique. The school will continue every Friday evening during the season, except Feb. 26th. Instead of the usual class on that date a grand ball and reception will be given on Monday evening, Feb. 22nd, Washington's birthday. Miss Ella Malone Passes Away. After almost two years of a lingering illness, Miss Ella Malone, of 3718 Turner avenue, died February 1. Her mother died on February 27 of last year of consumption, and left a husband and eight children, one of whom succumbed to the same disease. Miss Malone was an exemplary Christian, and one of the foremost religious workers of Jones' chapel. Although the father has seven remaining the departure of this one seems to have broken his heart. She was only 19 years of age, and the idol of her father. We hope that he will bear the cross patiently, and remember that she died only to live again in a happier home. GRAND LEAP YEAR PARTY.

EXPECT TOO MUCH OF THE RACE Current Topics Club Listens to Various Phases of the Race Question at Regular Meeting. (St. Louis Globe-Democrat.) R. F. Walker, former attorney general of Missouri, in an address before the Current Topics club at the Central Y. M. C. A., on "The Negro Problem," took occasion to express his opinion in vigorous language. "The Negro who would dine at my table insults me," said Mr. Walker, "and the white man who attempts to place the Negro on a plane of social equality with himself by inviting him to his table or to his bed is an enemy to individual liberty and a disgrace to his race." In concluding his address Mr. Walker gave this solution of the perplexing "Negro Problem." "The Negro has to be assimilated or wiped out. To talk of wiping him out is absurd. Let him be taught industry and honesty. Teach him to use his hand, and his head, so far as it is capable, in directing his hand. Then teach him honesty by being honest ourselves. That is the solution of the problem and the salvation of the Negro race." Members of the club who took part in the discussion preceding Mr. Walker were T. D. Cannon, who spoke on "The Negro, a Backward Race," and Louis D. Goodwia, on "The Negro, His Efficiency for Citizenship." DECLARED RACE IS BACKWARD Mr. Cannon, among other things, said: "Slavery has passed and no power can bring it back; but in slavery the Negro found a school such as he found nowhere else, at any period of time, and a better school than he ever founded for himself. That school found him a savage clothed only in his nakedness of soul and nakedness of body, and in 200 years it lifted 7,000,000 of his race higher in the scale of civilization than the race had ever reached before. NEGRO NOT BACKWARD. Attorney Goodwin in his argument offered statistics to show that the Negro had advanced in civilization since his emancipation at a rate unprecedented in history by any race. "The whites expect of the Negro," he said, "in less than a half century what it required thousands of years for their own race to acquire." In answer to the argument that the Negro has an unnatural tendency to criminal lust that evidences he is little above the animal, Mr. Goodwin said: "If we were clean ourselves we might criticise the Negro, but the crimes he commits are the crimes we taught him and are the same crimes that the whites commit. It is the boast of Kentucky that there lives the pure white stock, but I say to you that among the THE MUSEUM OF THE ARTS AND CULTURE the rear of the lounging, hall to a land- ing, south of which is the reading and music room, 43 by 18 feet. Under this is the lunch room. On the second floor on the north side is to be the state reception room, 50 by 18 feet, decorated with historical relics. Apartments are to be provided on this floor for the governor and for the commissioners, and there will be several private sleeping rooms for the officials. Over the space (twenty feet square) occupied by the grand staircase will rise a dome of stained glass, forming a part of the roof. The building will be of staff, and cost about $40,000. THE CATHEDRAL OF THE UNION WEST VIRGINIA BUILDING. West Virginia's building, a handsome structure of the Colonial type of architecture, is 100x120 feet, and stands close to and directly west of Colorado's building. Porches 16 feet wide extend on three sides, and at the rear the porch is 10 feet wide. The main part of the structure is square, but the large porches in the center of each facade, supported by six large Corinthian columns, cause the building to fine-handed whites of Kentucky more crimes are committed against the purity of women every year than ever were committed by the blacks. "The only standard to be employed in dealing with the blacks, or with any people, should be the standard of justice." WALKER VERSUS CANNON. The Negro Question, which lay dormant for awhile, has been aroused again by the animated discussion by the members of the Current Topics club at the Y. M. C. A. building. B. F. Walker, one of the speakers, said: "Teach the Negro honest by being honest ourselves." He as much as insinuates that the race, as a whole, is dishonest. He should remember that the Negro is but a looking-glass in which the characters of his first owners may be seen. The Negro, when first brought here, was in a state of infancy, so to say. He knew nothing, and child-like, acquired character from imitating those who possessed him. He was so totally ignorant that he readily assumed all the manners and habits of those he was brought in contact with. So if Mr. Walker charges him with being dishonest, let him search the records of the early settlers of this country. Attorney Goodwin takes the opposite stand, that the race is not backward. He says that "The whites expect of the Negro, in less than half a century, what it required thousands of years for their own to acquire." We highly appreciate Mr. Goodwin's noble defense. Such an address strengthens the belief of the much-abused race that there are a few remaining to whom it may look for a helping hand."Editor CITY NEWS. Notes and News Concerning Our People--Weekly.

The United States consumes half of the 16,000,000 bags which constitute the world's crop of coffee. The birth rate among the foreign born in Massachusetts is 52 per 1,000; among the native born it is 17. There are 5,147 national banks in the United States with authorized capital stock aggregating $766,000,000. Nice place, those Philippines. You can't stand life there without drinking; and when you drink it kills you. Of every 100 alcoholics attacked by pneumonia 70 die, while of every 100 non-alcoholics so attacked only 23 die. Nearly one-half of the mortality in the United States is from diseases of the lungs, and 75 per cent. of it is preventable. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach took a very opportune time to retire from the control of the British treasury. The amount on and was easy to turn over to his successor. Census Director Merriam predicts that the population of the United States will be 100,000,000 in 1910. By that time it will bankrupt the country to take the census. Representative J.·Adam Bede, of Minnesota, maintains that the Monroe doctrine is just as big as the American navy, and no bigger. Could anything be bigger than that? Wages in the United States on the average are more than twice those in Belgium, three times those of Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and Spain and one and a half those in England and Scotland. All new schools in Switzerland have a portion of the ground floor appropriated for baths. Each class bathes about once a fortnight, summer and winter. Soap is used and a warm bath is followed by a cooler one. Sick children and those having skin diseases are excluded. The uplifting influences of women's clubs amazes the average plodding citizen who gives a moment's thought to the topics discussed. The latest problem on the card is, "How a Woman Can Be Happy on Fifty Cents a Day." Countless husbands eagerly await the solution. By way of illustrating the effect of poverty on infant mortality a German statistician says that among the aristocratic circles in Berlin 57 per cent. of the children die before they reach the age of five, whereas among the poorest classes the number of doomed children is 357 per 1,000. We Americans write about 40 letters a year, and that average equals 40 per cent. of all the letters written in the world. We surely are a corresponding lot. There are about 8,300,000,000 letters a year written in English, 1,410,000,000 in German, 1,000,000,000 in French, 230,000,000 in Italian, 200,000,000 in Russian, 120,000,000 in Spanish, 160,000,000 in Dutch, 90,000,000 in Scandinavian and 24,000,000 in Portuguese. The farm value of the crops of corn, wheat, rye, oats, hay, barley, potatoes, flax seed, buckwheat and tobacco raised this year is estimated at $2,500,000,000 by the bureau of statistics of the department of agriculture. To that great sum may properly be added about $700,000,000 for the value of the cotton crop. This is an amazing aggregation of "quick assets," which can be turned into money whenever it is needed. It is a gigantic pile of commodities which are needed abroad as well as at home. A movement has been started in California to have a world's fair in San Francisco in 1913. It is doubtless assumed by the authors of the project that by that year California and San Francisco will have attained a pretty important place among American communities, and a sufficiently long time will have elapsed between the Louisiana Purchase exposition of 1904 in St. Louis and the Lewis and Clark fair in Portland, Ore., to warrant the holding of an international exposition in some other part of the country. F. C. Penfield, once a resident of Bogota, gives in the Saturday Post a curious account of Colombia and its make-believe government. In his recent message to congress President Roosevelt gave a list of 40-odd revolutions which have taken place in Colombia during the past 60 years. Mr. Penfield says that in Bogota "generals" are so plentiful that the colors of Kentucky wear an appearance of most desolate loneliness when placed in comparison. When Colombinas have nothing else to do they go out and start a revolution. Missouri State Gleanings. MISSOURI CROP BULLETIN. Alternate Freezing and Thawing Has Injured Plants, But Roots Are In Good Condition. The following bulletin has been issued by the Missouri department of agriculture: In the extreme western portion of the state the mean temperature in January was very cold, but in the central and eastern sections the month averaged colder than usual. Temperatures occurred in the northern sections on the 3d, and during the last week of the month very cold weather prevailed throughout the state. The minimum temperatures reached was 12 degrees below in the southern and from ten to 22 degrees below in the central and northern counties. The temperature in months was heavier than usual in portions of the eastern and southern sections, some localities receiving more than 5 inches, the greatest of which fell on the 20th and 21st, but in the western counties it was generally light, some of the west-central counties receiving less than 1 The snowfall of the month exceeded 10 inches over portions of the northern, central and southeastern sections, a few stations reported snowfall in western counties it was light. Up to the 6th the winter wheat received but little protection from snow, except in a few of the northern counties, and considerably injured by dry freezing and by alternate freezing and thawing, but during the severe cold weather of the last week the month the crop was affected, frozen, snowed, some western and some of the extreme southern counties. In portions of the western and southern sections very little precipitation occurred during the fore part of the month, and the amount of rain fell of moisture, but heavy rains fell over the southern and eastern counties on the 20th and 21st, and in some localities in those sections the crop was not growing. The condition of the crop as a whole is below the average, but while in many sections the plants are small they are as a whole, and the crop is not regrowing, buds are very conflicting, and it is impossible at this writing to make any definite statement as to the extent to which they have been injured, but the extent that a large portion of the buds have been killed by the recent low temperatures. WANTS TO SING AT FAIR. Daughter of an Indian Chief Thinks She Would be an Attraction. Princess Chinquilla, daughter of Lone Star, a Cheyenne chief, writes to President Francis of the World's fair from Jamaica. L. L. as follows: "I would like to sing at the exposition in St. Louis. Now, I am a novelty, as no Indian girl has ever been before the public as I have. I am not a Patti. I sing; I please, because I am a novelty. I sing for private and select society circles here in New York. I also play the banjo with my instructor, both classic and popular music. I would like to be engaged to sing in the temple of music or some place of that kind, where I would not have to sing or play over twice daily. I wear my native clothing all the time and everywhere. I am a sensation and a drawing card to any place. Salary, $100 per week for us both and our passes for the entire fair, six months. I am told it runs." A QUEER AURGUMENT. Attorney Pleaded That Father's Death Was a Benefit to His Daughter. In the court of appeals in Kansas City, the judgment of the Jasper county circuit court was affirmed which allowed Eva Bennett, a little girl, $2,000 for the death of her father, P. J. Bennett. The verdict was against M. C. Conkey, owner of a lead and zinc mine near Joplin. Bennett was working at the bottom of the shaft. A fellow-workman upon the surface of the ground was loading blocks of wood into a car, and let one fall into the shaft. The block hit and killed Bennett, and his daughter sued and not judgment in the lower court. Conkey appealed, and his attorney made the astonishing plea before the appellate court that, as her father was a shiftless man, who provided poorly for her, and as his death resulted in her being adopted by wealthy people in St. Louis, therefore, his death was a benefit to her, and not an injury. Brown to Hang March 11. The supreme court has affirmed the decision of the Kansas City criminal court against Charles Brown, of Jackson county, convicted of murder, and set his execution for March 11. Brown killed his stepdaughter with a club because she applied a vile epithet to him when he was intoxicated. Requisition for John Scullin. Gov. Dockery has issued a requisition upon Gov. Van Sant of Minnesota for the return to this state of John Scullin, who was a number of aliases. Scullin is in custody at Minneapolis. He is wanted in St. Louis to answer a charge of grand larceny. Dawson Must Hang. The agreement for a new trial in the Dawson case was heard by Judge Eby, at Paris, and the petition was refused. Judge Eby then called for the prisoner and sentenced him to hang, fixing March 18 as the date. Died on a Train. Clair Commons, aged 40, a former Kansas City business man, died on a Burlington train near St. Joseph. He had been in ill health for some time. Aged Man Killed. Peter Greely, aged 72, was instantly killed by a Transit trolley car in St. Louis. Greely was deaf, and did not hear the motorman's warning. Bank on World's Fair Grounds. BANK ON WORLD FIRM GROUNDS. The Bankers' World's Fair national bank is the name of an institution which is to be established on the St. Louis World's fair grounds. RESCUED JUST IN TIME. Boy Floating On Cake of Ice Lassoed From Bridge at St. Charles. After floating for nearly eight miles down the Missouri river on a small cake of ice, Albert Smitch, 19 years old, a grandson of Jacob Smith, former county judge of St. Charles county, was lassoed by workmen on the Wabash bridge at St. Charles and rescued. Men, women and children, who had gathered along the river front on both sides, cheered the men as they drew the half-frozen boy, whose strength was all but gone, a distance of 75 feet to the bridge with a rope. The boy had attempted to cross the river near Catfish island, on the St. Louis county side of the river, when his skiff was capsized by an ice floe. He was thrown into the water, and the boat was wrecked. Scrambling on to a cake of ice about six feet square, he managed to save himself from the jam, but was without even an oar, afloat in the strongest current. The river was almost closed with ice, only a small channel being open. In this were running heavy cakes of ice, some of them being two feet in thickness. Jamming now and then into other floes or the ice along the banks, the cake carried young Smith past the entire town of St. Charles. His weight submerged the cake of ice sometimes several inches beneath the surface. As he approached the scaffolding of the St. Louis, St. Charles and Western highway bridge, which is being built across the river at St. Charles, he redoubled his shouts for help. Superintendent Broughton of the steelworkers and Superintendent Louis Hissrich of the railroad, who lives at Weilston, had a line thrown down from the scaffolding, but the current was misjudged and the boy passed several feet to one side of the loop. Then Superintendent Broughton and several of his men ran to the Wabash bridge, a half mile down the river. In the meantime the whistles of several engines were sounded to warn a gang of men at work repairing the Wabash structure. Superintendent McPherson, in charge of the men on the Wabash bridge, saw the perilous position of the boy and at once made preparations to save him. The men from the upper bridge soon reached the Wabash bridge with lines of rope. Seventeen ropes were lowered at different points, after a convenient loop had been tied at the end of each to the water's edge. As Smith approached he shouted that he had not the strength to hold on while being drawn up. Then he was told to jump through the loop and let his weight tighten the noose about his body, which he did. Though he sank beneath the surface twice after getting the rope, this was successful, and the boy was hoisted to the top of the bridge by the men. A passing Wabash train was brought to a standstill, and Smith was put aboard the engine and taken to the St. Charles depot, where he was cared for. Will Provide Patent Escapes. A contract has been closed by the Kansas City board of education, through Charles A. Smith, the architect for the board, providing for the erection of a spiral fire slide at the Central high school building, and for two at the Manual Training high school building. Each spire will cost $1,297. The slide consists of a steel, tube or casing surrounding a smooth slide, which winds down like a corkscrew to the ground. The spiral is erected some distance from the building, and is reached by a short bridge leading out from each floor of the building. Suicide Clause Void. The Kansas City court of appeals affirmed two judgments against the Ancient Order of Pyramids. One was the case of Sarah V. Hunt; the other was that of Charles Weber. W. T. Hunt lived in Vernon county. He was insured in the Pyramids for $1,000, the policy reading that the money would not be paid in case of suicide. Hunt shot himself, and the order refused to pay the insurance. His widow, Sarah V. Hunt, sued and won. Lincoln's Old Car Sold. The old sleeping car built for the use of President Lincoln was sold at Omaha, Neb., by the Union Pacific to Frank E. Snow, who will exhibit it at the St. Louis World's fair. President Lincoln made journeys in it to the south, and his dead.body was taken in it from Washington to Springfield, Ill. Runaway Boys' Feet Frozen. Two boys, 13 and 15 years of age, were taken from a Missouri Pacific train at Pacific with badly frozen fest. They gave their names as David Friedman and Thomas Killiam, and said their homes were in St. Louis. Their shoes were cut off, and their feet were thawed out in ice water. Killed by a Street Car. C. N. Dorrian, aged 30, a foreman in a shoe factory, was instantly killed by a Transit street car in St. Louis. Four persons were badly injured in the collision of a street car with the carriage in which they were returning from a funeral in St. Louis. Short-Horn Breeders Meet.

TESTIMONY CLOSES IN BUTLER TRIAL Witnesses Testify to a Combine Against the Defendant. Tells Them Law Presumes the De- kendant Innocent and Presumption Continues Until Guilt In Established. Fulton, Mo., Feb. 5.—Ex-Alderman James H. Cronin, of "I Ain't Done Nothing" fame, was offered as the defense's first witness Thursday morning in the case of Edward Butler, charged with bribing 19 members of the St. Louis house of delegates combine on the St. Louis city lighting bill by paying them $47,500. Witness was a member of the house of delegates in 1899. He swore that he was in attendance at the house meeting on November 28, 1899, and that Butler was not on the floor. In answer to Circuit Attorney Folk's question on cross-examination, Cronin declared that he was the champion of the bill. "You voted for the bill?" "You bet I did; I was boosting it. The newspapers printed my picture. Most all of 'em printed it. I was the champion of the citizens." Cronin swore there was a combine in the house, and in response to Folk's questions, named the 19. Cronin declared he was not a member of the combine and never tried to get in. Questions designed to show Cronin's connection with other combines were overruled. John J. Burke, now deputy clerk of the court of criminal correction, who was also a member of the house of delegates, swore that Butler was not on the floor when the bill was passed. On Butler's direct examination, he swore that he never was on the floor of the house, but Burke admitted on cross-examination that he had seen Butler there, but not on the night the bill was passed. The witness said there was a combine and that the members seemed to be holding conferences when the bill was under consideration. John P. Sweeney, Butler's former "boss" of the house, now ex-member from the Third ward, next took the stand to testify for "De Ole Man." McDermott Swore to a Conspiracy. In an attempt to prove a conspiracy against Butler, the defense put James J. McDermott, of Creve Coeur Amusement Co., on the stand to swear that William M. Tamblyn told him in the St. Louis jail in September, 1902, that because Edward Butler would not get him and others out on bond they were going to combine against him and get him into trouble. With McDermott's testimony the defense closed. Circuit Attorney Folk had sent for ex-Aldermen Charles W. Holtcamp, Lafe Sturtevant and Lemon Parker, to rebut the testimony of Sweeney, Cronin and Burke that Butler was not on the floor of the house of delegates on the 'evening the bill was passed, and court took a recess until 4 p. m. to await their arrival. When court reassembled in the Butler trial at 4:45 o'clock former Delegate Charles W. Holtkamp was put on the stand to rebut the testimony offered by Cronin, Sweeney and Burke relative to Butler's appearance in the house of delegates chamber November 28, 1899. At the conclusion of Holtcamp's testimony Judge Graves instructed the jury in part as follows: "The law presumes the defendant to be innocent, and this presumption continues until it has been overcome by evidence which establishes his guilt to your satisfaction and beyond a reasonable doubt, and the burden of proving his guilt rests on the state. "If, however, this presumption has been overcome by the evidence and the guilt of defendant established to a moral certainty and beyond a reasonable doubt, your duty is to convict. "If you have reasonable doubt of defendant's guilt you should acquit, but a doubt to authorize an acquittal on that ground alone ought to be a substantial doubt touching defendant's guilt, and one growing out of the evidence or want of evidence in the case and not a mere possibility of his innocence." The arguments of the attorneys will begin this morning at 8:30 o'clock. It is understood the court has placed a time limit of six hours upon the argument, in which event the case will go to the jury about 2 p. m. today. It will then be a matter of a little while until Butler shall know his fate upon the event of the second trial growing out of the municipal scandals in St. Louis. Prof. Arthur W. Palmer. Urbano, Ill., Feb. 5.—Prof. Arthur W. Palmer, of the University of Illinois, who had a national reputation as a chemist, is dead.

Arrangements Were Made by the Architect, Isaac S. Taylor, to Turn It Over to the State Commission February 3. St. Louis, Feb. 1.—The Missouri state building, the largest structure erected on the World's fair grounds by any state, will be turned over, Wednesday, by the architect, Isaac S. Taylor, to the Missouri commission. The building has reached a stage of practical completion, even to the mural paintings which decorate its interior. On last Tuesday, one of the coldest days of the year, a test of the refrigerating plant of the building was made by the architect's expert, H. H. Humphrey. The refrigerating plant, which occupies a place in the cellar under the hall of state, was installed by the United iron works, of Springfield, Mo. The plant is operated by two motors with a joint capacity of 55 horse power, and is designed to reduce the temperature on the hottest day to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. One 20-horse power motor operates the fan which blows the air drawn over frosted coils into the rooms above. One 30-horse power motor runs the compressure, which condenses the ammonia with which the cooling is effected. After the test of the refrigerating apparatus the building was heated, and a thorough test made of the low pressure, steam heating plant, which also occupies a place under the hall of state. The building has been heated since to dry the plaster and to make it possible for the mural painters to work despite the cold. The mural painting of the building, which is on a grand scale, is done by Duncan & Mora, a firm made up of Jack Duncan, of St. Joseph, Mo., and F. Luis Mora, of New York city. The latter has a reputation as a mural decorator throughout the country. It was he who did the mural painting of the Lynn (Mass.) library. The paintings in the dome of the Missouri building are already in place. They were executed on canvas in the studio of the painter in New York and brought to St. Louis. They were but in place by John Krell, who mounted the Sargent paintings in the Boston public library. The dome of the building is 43 feet in diameter, and the entire inner surface is covered with the paintings. There are 17 large figures. Far down the dome is LaSalle, the French explorer, with a retinue of followers in the costumes they wore when they explored the Louisiana territory. Another figure is France presenting the key, symbolical of the transferring of the ownership of the Louisiana territory to America. Paintings of Indians in combat with pioneers and finally figures symbolical of progress, science, mining, agriculture, music, poetry and art complete the round of the dome, while above all floats a figure of Victory blowing a trumpet. In the pendentives, which occur where the round dome meets the square rotunda below, are mural paintings treating respectively of the prehistoric, the barbaric, the pioneer and the civilized stages of the Louisiana territory. There are mural paintings in the big hall of state and the governor's reception room. In the hall of state are four medallions, which occupy places on the covered ceiling between the windows and represent the four seasons. In the governor's reception room are compositions of stacked flags of various colors. "I expect confidently," says Architect Isaac S. Taylor, "to deliver the building to the Missouri commission next Wednesday. It is entirely ready, with the exception of a general looking over to supply any articles of hardware, etc., that have been overlooked." TWO DETECTIVES FOILED. They Failed to Solve the Pyromanate Puzzle of the Grand Palace Hotel, Chicago. Chicago, Feb. 2.—Two detectives, present for a week in the gulse of guests at the Grand Palace hotel, North Clark and Indiana streets, have failed to solve the puzzling circumstances surrounding four fires that have occurred in the building in a fortnight. The latest fire occurred within 12 hours after the detectives were taken away for other work. The police have reached the conclusion that a pyromanate is a quest at the hotel. Arbitration Convention. London, Feb. 2.—The Anglo-Italian arbitration convention was signed today. The convention is on practically the same lines as the Anglo-French treaty. OVER THE WIRE. Charles I. Beck, of South Orange, N. J., has a unique collection of postage stamps, coins, arrow heads and other curios of historic value. When a telephone of the Chicago Telephone company is "busy" the nickel which you are supposed to have dropped in is supposed to drop out again. Constable John Small tried it 15 times and the nickel didn't drop once, he says. So he sued for the nickel. The telephone company paid $300 in counsel fees and had to surrender the nickel in the end. P. With the approach of the New Year comes a momentous event in the history of St. Louis. Never since its early settlement has there been as great a furor as exists at the present time. Little did the early explorers of the Mississippi Valley and the French settlers of this city think that in the distant future the city they had founded in a wilderness would develop into the center of the world's admiration. The celebration of the Louisiana Purchase is one in which all natives will join—it is of wide-spread interest to the world at large. The representation of the Negro race at the Fair will, it is anticipated, be a highly commendable one. The children of the Colored schools have already begun their preparation of the work for the Fair. The journalistic work of the Negro will show his ability in that line. The three Negro papers of our city will make an excellent display. Those who visit the World's Fair will find that it will surpass by far any that has ever been given. No particular booth will be set apart for the Negro race. They will be represented only as American citizens. No discrimination will be made. LAWYERS. W. M. Farmer. Albert Burgess. E. H. Taylor. J.

We wish to state more to all our contributors that all matter sent to The Palladium for publication is subjected to Miss Johnson for criticism. Some of our readers often see fit to object to the shortening of an article or to the changing of its phraseology. Long-winded articles will be published, providing the necessary charge for publications accompanies them. The manager himself often writes articles that meet with her disapproval, and are consequently consigned to the waste basket. Send your long-winded articles to her, and she will receive your cash, and also tell you just what changing she would desire made. Respectfully, J. W. WHEELER, Manager. A Mishap. We are informed by Mr. Lindsay, one of the proprietors of the Alcove, 2032 Market street, that one A. W. Wilkinson took from the store two barrels of whisky and several cases of beer.

The Cafe at 2032 Market street, once the Alcove, is conducted by Mr. Frank R. Wilson. You ought to go and see what a cozy place it is. You can be served with all that is in the market. Mr. Harrison Cook, of 1923 Market street, the old veteran restaurant keeper, is up again, after almost two months' sickness. He was for a number of weeks in the Providence hospital.

St. Louis Woman's club, having learned from reliable sources, some months ago, of the careless and unfeeling manner in which Negro patients at the city hospital are treated, determined to bend its energies toward doing all that was possible to provide a suitable place for the accommodation of those helpless ones, who would otherwise be cast upon the merciless custody of the heartless or ignorant subordinates of the city institutions. In pursuance of this idea the members of the club decided to establish a "charity ward" at the Provident hospital, at Morgan and Beaumont streets. A room has been furnished and a quantity of surgical articles has been provided by the efforts of these energetic and charitable women, and in a few days the apartment designated as the "Charity Ward" will be opened for the inspection of visitors. All that has been done in furtherance of this worthy enterprise, is due solely to the energy and large heartedness of the members of the St. Louis Woman's club. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

Cabinet ax Sec= Tike Mic hecpne eae New York, Feb. 3.—William Collins Whitney, former secretary of the navy, died a few minutes after four o'clock Tuesday afternoon at his home, 871 Fifth avenue. He died while under the Influence of ether administered prepa- ratory to’ second operation for appen- dicitis. By his bedside were his son, Harry Payne Whitney, and his daugh- ter; Dorothy Whitney, as well as Dr. William T. Bull, the chief surgeon in attendance. He was in his sixty-fourth year. ‘Mr. Whitney was taken ill last Fri- day night at the performance of “Rigo- letto,” at the Metropolitan opera house, and had to leave before the opera end ed. Dr. Walter B. James, the Whitney family physician, was summoned, and found that the condition of the patient was such that, after consultation, an operation was decided upon and was performed by Dr. Bull. The patient rallied so well that it was fully be- lieved he would recover. Second Operation Necessary. Mr. Whitney's condition was vert grave, however, on Sunday and o* Monday, and at a consultation Tuesday afternoon it was concluded that the only hope for the patient lay in a sec- ond operation. A bulletin issued at eight o'clock Tuesday morning stated that there had been a slight improve- ment in the patient's condition, but shortly after three o'clock alarming symptoms were noted, and hurried preparations were made for a second operation. Mr. Whitney was placed under the influence of ether, but wheth- er the operation was proceeded with or not is unknown. Surgeons’ Skill of No Avail. When the physicians perceived that the patient was in danger of déath, Harry Payne Whitney and Miss Doro- thy Whitney were immediately notified. | they hastened to the side of their fa- | ther, and in a few minutes he had | breathed his last. Oxygen was used, and all the skill of the physicians and surgeons brought into play to preserve the life of the distinguished patient, Dut all to no avail. Will Be Burled at Woodlawn, It was five o'clock Tuesday afternoor when the simple fact of his death was made public. Later the following an- nouncement was made: “Mr. Whitney died at four o'clock of peritonitis and blood poisoning fol- lowing an operation for appendicitis.” ‘Tae interment will be made at Wood- lawn at a date to be hereafter fixed, in the family plot, where are the remains of Mrs, Flora Whitney, Olive Whitney and Mr. Whitney's grandchild, Flore Payno Paget Mr. Whitney's children, Harry tayne and Miss Dorothy Whitney, were with him when he died. The funeral serv- lees will be held at Grace church, where Mr. Whitney was a pew holder. TWO KILLED AND SCORE HURT In & Collision Between a Crowded Chicago Suburban ‘Train and fa Switeh Engine.

Its cervice was more informal than that of the temple at Jerusalem, the seat of the stiffest and ‘most orthodox Judaism, ‘Though in- struction in the law was the main ob- ‘ject of the synagogue, its services were ‘in the hands of laymen, not priests (Geikic), and were more like our prayer ‘meetings than our church services. “Amid the dull, mechanical tendencies which were turning the heart of Juda- “sm to stone, the synagogue may have ‘beon often a center of life and rallying place of freedom.”—Dean Chadwick, “Taught them as having authority:” This is one of the most illuminating sen- tences in the whole story of Christ's life, The meaning is not simply that He spoke as if confident that He was right—the scribes were doubtless confi- dent they were right—but rather that He did not back up His teachings by reference to the standing authorities (Moses, etc.), but spoke the truth that He felt to be true in His own soul, de- pending on the truth itselitto makerits ‘own impression. His was a message ul- rect from God. Another surprise was in store for the synagogue audience that day. “A man with an unclean spirit:” “The beliet in demonieeal possession was common among Jews and Gentiles in the time of our Lord, and it long obtained in the Christian church. Butit has been point- 2d out that most, if not all, the phenom- 2na asrociated with this belief are now diagnosed as forms of disease—insanity, epilepsy, hysteria, etc.”"—Adeney. We shoulé add what psychologists call dis- eases of personality, “double conscious~ ness,” etc. If the unfortunate in this lesson was diseased rather than pos- sessed of a foul spirit, why did Jesus speak as if there was a spirit? (1) Be- cause the man believed it was a devil that was troubling him. (2) Everyone alse believed £0, too. (3) The best way {o mect an insane person is to meet him where he thinks he is. (4) Christ was not here to correct all men’s er- roneous beliefs; it would have done no good and fmmense harm. It would have been going off on a tangent. Whether the man was an epileptic or possessed ot the Kind of devil that the Jews believed in, was a matter of indifference so far as the kingdom was concerned. The point is that Christ healed the man, Christ allowed nothing to interfere with His main purpose. “Come out of him:” Everyone saw that the man was cured “What is this:” “What does all thir mean!” referring to the whole service “A new teaching . . . unclean spir- its... obey him:’ The two mar- vels of the day. “Both equally unlooked for—the former a moral miracle, the latter a physical; both revealing an {m- perial spirit exercising sway over the minds and bodies of men."—-Bruce, Note the effect in verse 28, “And straightway:” No time wat lost. How full of service for others the Master's days were! “Came into the house of Simon:” Jesus was the guest of His new disciple, “A fever:” Very common in the low, hot country about the lake; commonly believed, like in- sanity, to be the work of evil spirits Luke says Jesus rebuked the fever as he had done in the case of the man in the synagogue. “At even:” The Sab- bath ended at sunset. Picture to your- self the scene. No painter has ever been able to do it so well as we can in our own minds. Remember the Mas- ter’s commanding presence, but that He : was at the close of a hard day, sur- rounded by the poor and the needy, not the unsympathetic Pharisees, and radl- antly happy in being able to minister to them whom He considered as brothers | and sisters, “Suffered not . . . to speak, because they knew Him:” How did they know Him? Explanations are plenty, but not such as explain. The intuitions of deranged persons are fre- quently amazingly keen and true, and can hardly be explained. Christ did not want to be proclaimed the Messiah as yet; particularly by these pcople who were physically or mentally unsound, ‘The time was uot ripe. Ram’s Horn Blasts.

The new hall is to be completed and ready for occupancy on Monday, February 8, and will be opened by Miss Hallie Q.

The amusement-loving public of St. Louis is to be treated to a revival of dramatic, musical and vaudeville art, for which this city was once far-famed. The organization of the Lyceum Sketch club, which took place a few days ago, promises a return of the glories of former days in stage productions. The leading spirits of the new organization are Messrs. James W. Grant, John B. Vashon, R. A. Hudlin, Ambrose A. Clarke, Will S. Grant and other well-known amateurs of acknowledged ability. The purpose of the new club is to give high-class vaudeville, musical and dramatic entertainments on a scale far in advance of anything heretofore attempted. They have associated with them some of the best talent in the city, and the public can look forward with assurance to a season of artistic entertainment. The Lyceum Sketch club will follow Miss Hallie Q. Brown in opening the new Douglass hall, in a reproduction of the mirth-provoking musical comedy, by Mr. Charles Mathews, entitled, "Miss Amanthis," with Mr. John B. Vashon in the title role. Mr. Hudlin, the two Grants and Misses Clara Hutt and Allie Simms will also appear in the cast. NEWPORT NEWS. Your correspondent was over in the city Saturday, Jan. 30. I met my old friend, J. W. Grant, at the Roe building, enjoyed a first-class dinner at Jordan's restaurant, Market street, basked in the radiant smiles of Miss Anna Russell for a few minutes at Russell's undertakers' station, which forms the doorway to the other world, and, finally, I was ushered into the effugent presence of the noted elocutionist, Miss Hallie Q. Brown, by that splendid lady, Mrs. Elmyra Napfer. The exquisite pleasure born in those fleety moments in thus meeting those genial spirits of friendship brought to mind those happy days: "When Gordon Morgan, Free and King, Would of the lyre of knowledge ring." A birthday party was given by Mrs. Lowe, who is a very pleasant lady, to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of her son Lester's birth.

THE OPPORTUNITY For Energetic, Ambitious Young Men, Whose Ability and Aspiration Reach Above the Level of Common Drudgery. It is agreed by all educators and leaders of our race that the only real solution to the Negro Problem lies in our own ability to bid for and receive the trade of our own people. We must first attain professional and business equality and recognition before we can hope to enjoy other equal privileges. The embalming and undertaking business offers more inducements and advantages than any other business a Negro man can engage in. YOUNG MAN, BE INDEPENDENT! BE A BUSINESS MAN!

Cole preached at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. at the First Baptist church last Sunday. There was a nice crowd out at each service. Directly after the morning service was over the four clubs—namely—Pleasant Workers, Carnation, Ruth and Gentlemen—met in joint session at the First Baptist church to perfect arrangement by which each club were to raise $100 in a short time, so as to enable Rev. Cole to take up the next notes, which are $500 or $1,000. These clubs are composed of honest and carnet people, and it is certain that they will do just what they say. Rev. E. C. Cole started a revival at his church last Monday night, and it is his purpose, while raising money, to pay off the church debt to raise the devil out of the hearts of sinners, and hypocrites likewise. He is having a good success. Everybody are made welcome at the First Baptist church by the nice and polite ushers—Messrs. Garfield Craven, Willie Carnell, Henry Hall, Jos. Nabors, A. W.
