ST.LOUIS PALLADIUM Vol. XX. No. 15. THE ST. LOUIS B. Y. P. U. An Enthusiastic and Instructive Meeting Held at Central Baptist Church Sunday, March 20, 1904. The St. Louis B. Y. P. U., a Christian organization, which was organized last June at the Fifth Baptist church, for the purpose of building up the young people spiritually, intellectually, socially, morally and religiously, and composes the following churches, namely: First Baptist, Fifth Baptist, Antioch Baptist, Central Baptist and the Compton Hill Baptist, met last Sunday at Central church, at 5 p. m. directly after the Sunday-school was over. The rain seemed to have no effect on anyone, from the very fact that just as soon as the Sunday-school ma's and their scholars had vacated the church, it quickly filled up with delegates, members and visitors from the various churches, so much so that when the meeting was called to order by the president, Miss Estelle Buchner, there was not seating room. At 3:20 p. m. the president called all the officers to their places, after which she stated the object of the meeting. In the meantime she selected a song in Gospel hymn, No. 192, after which Rev. George W. West was called to the stand to read a passage in the Bible. He readily came forth, and read the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians, after which prayer was offered by Dr. E. C. Cole, then song. Afterwards the president invited all the delegates from the different churches to the front. Madame M. A. Lawrence called the roll in regular form—Antioch Baptist first, Fifth Baptist second, First Baptist third and Central Baptist fourth. Each delegation came forward and paid their 25 cents. Afterwards the president opened the doors of the B. Y. P. U. association for any and all other unions who wished to join the above association. She said that she heard that the Compton Hill union wanted to join. After being informed by a delegate from that church that said union wanted to join, Mr. Garfield Craven offered a motion that the Compton Hill union should be received. Motion was carried. Afterwards the minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Next the minutes of the general committee were read by Mr. Charles H. Graves and received with some recommendations. Next, the report on missionary work was read by the chairman of that committee, Madame Annie R. Davis, and was received after some discussion. This being over, the regular lesson for the evening was taken up, found in the first chapter of Corinthians, 25 to 29th verses inclusive, which was conducted by Mrs. Leatha Newcomb. First being read in concert, afterwards discussed by the association. W. C. Henderson first opened the discussion, followed by Messrs. Thomas Morton, Mr. Hamilton, E. Humphrey, Garfield Craven, James W. Wiley, Rev. W. M. Jones, Doctors George E. Stephens and E. C. Cole. Each and everyone of the gentlemen spoke well. Dr. Stephens brought tears to the eyes of some, while those of Dr. E. C. Cole were merriment, in fact the anecdote which was told by the doctor of the boy and the traveler was better than a sermon for the time being. Next the literary programme was taken up. First Baptist church union was called. Quartette, Messrs. John H. Gates, M. Hamilton, A. P. Brown, and I. Tillworth. Miss Anna Thomas, organist. Ovation-M. Rodgers. Antioch Baptist. Duet—Mr. L. M. Paterson and Miss May Rivant Central Baptist Union—Solo—Miss Catherine Baker. Oration—Mr. Thomas McJunkins. Duet—Mrs. Barrows and Miss Mach. This was very fine indeed. A nice crowd of sweet little Misses known as the Juveniles of the Central Baptist, sang while a collection was taken up, which amounted to $4.48. Afterwards a general committee was appointed by the president to visit all of the Baptist churches throughout the city; also see after the sick, ill, and report their doings to the next meeting of the association, which will be held at the Compton Hill Baptist church the third Sunday in next June. A few remarks were made by W. C. Henderson and others. The meeting adjourned, to convene again at the above date and place. MISS ESTELLE BUCKNER, President MRS. ANNIE R. DAVIS, Vice-President.

State..... BRIDGETON ITEMS The Rev. W. W. Perry, pastor of the First Baptist church at Bridgeton, preached a good sermon. Text—'I Am the Way.'—John 14:6. He said in part: 'If we believe that there is a future state of peace and happiness called Heaven, and a future state of misery and woe called hell, there can be no greater importance than to gain one and shun the other. If we have any doubt as to the true way, let us read the remarks that Jesus made to Thomas when he asked Jesus 'How can we know the way?' Jesus replied to him and the rest of the disciples: 'I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me.' He is the Mediator between God and man, and the means of intercourse between Heaven and earth." Who is going to the wedding and an entertainment given at the First Baptist church, Bridgeton, April 7? What you wish another to be, be that yourself. The best way for one to be engaged during the year is to attend to his own business the first six months, and the next six to leave his neighbor's business alone. Mr. John Campbell, of Bridgeton, is still on the sick list. Rev. S Palmer, pastor of the M. E. church, Bridgeton, has been sent to Mexico, Mo., to take charge. The weather was very inclement last Sunday, but it did not prevent the Christian people of Bridgeton from having a soul-stirring meeting at the First Baptist church. The Sabbath-school children of the First Baptist church, Bridgeton, gave a concert Saturday night, and realized a profit of $8.50. Two Souls Made Happy Mr. Jeff Smith, of 1201 Morgan street, is a man who reads a man's wants. A few days ago we went into his place, and we were hard up. But I did not tell him, in talking over life's rugged journey. He saw in me a WANT. So he said: "Well, Mr. Wheeler, I will renew my contract with you for six months." I said: "I will be pleased to have you do so." He at once opened his safe and drew $11.50, which he gave us. We said: "Will you take something with us?" We then took something. I was more than pleased. He was satisfied. Who will be the next one to make The Palladium man feel happy? So go to 1201 Morgan street, and see Mr. Jeff Smith, and he will make you happy.

We are sorry indeed to announce that Mr. Robert Johnson has passed to his last resing place. He was an invalid for 70 years, a slave for 45 years, a Christian for 50 years, and as death crept upon him he was willing and ready to go. We had known Mr. Johnson for 23 years, and we always found in him that true and Godly conversation that should characterize every Christian, and formed one of the vast congregation that turned out to demonstrate the fact that his walks through life were those of a genuine Christian. He leaves a wife, daughter and many friends to mourn his loss. He was a good man, square in all his dealings. He was an agent for The Palladium for the past five years, and a most faithful man. May he rest in peace. ... THE COLORADO BUILDING. The designs of the Colorado building, now in course of erection, is in Spanish renaissance. The first floor THANKS TO OUR FRIENDS. We, the bereaved family, wish to thank our many friends for their able and kind assistance and sympathy during the illness and death of our beloved Masha and Risha. "The change has come, and who would say: I would it were not come to-day? What were the respite till to-morrow? Postponement of a certain sorrow, From* which each passing day would borrow! Let grief be dumb, The change has come." —Shoreses. Notice. Madame M. Naidree-Moore has not yet arrived in St. Louis. She is sick in bed in Indianapolis. As soon as she arrives, we will inform the public. --- $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents. THE MUSEUM OF THE ARTS AND CULTURE have an ample rotunda, which may be used as an assembly room, and it will also have a check room, custodian's office, bureau of information, post office, telegraph office, two secretary's rooms and storage room. On the second floor As we were on our rounds, last Tuesday, we called at 637 Red Bud avenue. We inquired for Mrs. Hulyday Cole. The answer came back to us: "She is dead and burled." The same day we started for 209 South Fifteenth street. When near that house we were informed that he was dead, which brings to our mind this passage: "The end of all things is at hand; one generation passes away and another comes and goes. There is nothing new under the sun." Mr. S. S. Green, who formerly lived in St. Louis, about six years ago, has been in Boston, in charge of one of the largest hotels in that city. He has come to St. Louis to take charge of the Berlin hotel, corner of Taylor and Berlin avenues. We wish him success. COLORADO STATE BUILDING LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION ST.

Loyal Helpers' Charity Club. The Loyal Helpers' Charity club held their regular monthly meeting at the residence of Mrs. Viola Garrett, 2604 Stoddard street. The president's annual report, reviewing the work of the past year, with new recommendations, seems to have put new life in the club, for a large number turned out. The club is arranging to make an Easter offering to the inmates of the Old Folks' home. At the request of the president, the ladies each paid in their $1 assessment towards the entertaining of the National Association of Colored Women's clubs. Mrs. Viola Garrett, who is chairman of the committee on ways and means, is putting forth every effort to make the entertainment to be given at Central Baptist church, April 21, a grand success. Let every club member and friend turn out on this occasion. A fine programme is promised under the direction of Miss Ruby Farmer. and in the center of the ceiling will be a stained glass light.

M. 16th. F. Q. 24th. One of the young war correspondents has discovered that exploding shells are likely to hurt the people whom they hit. This was the way they acted in this country 40 years ago. Prof. Lawson, of the University of California, has calculated that the Sierra Nevada mountains are 3,000,000 years old. And yet it is not unusual to hear people claim to have been out there "when the country was new." An Illinois man shot himself the other day because his doctor told him he must give up dancing. The papers said he "blew his brains out," but if the writers had thought twice, they would have seen that this was impossible. A Milwaukee man claims that he can fill himself so full of electricity that he is able to fly. Every one knows that there is a Milwaukee product which sometimes makes people feel that way, but electricity is a new name for it. Rheumatism and neuralgia are the latest maladies to yield to the magic power of radium, according to Dr. Darler, of Paris. But don't throw away your crutches. These statements are like war news; they may be contradicted to-morrow. How can they get ahead of us? Japan has been ordering an immense amount of rice from Manila, while Russia gets her meat in the United States. Thus, in the homely but expressive colloquialism of the vernacular, we get them coming and going. Gen. Kuropatkin, the Russian commander in chief in the far east, fixes the duration of the war at 18 months, of course with complete victory for Russia as a wind-up. But it is barely possible that in arranging this programme he has failed to consult the Japs. Hearing that the Niederoesterreichische Gowerbverein intended to come to the world's fair, St. Louis hurriedly looked to her coast defenses. Later advices, however, showed that it was not a Russian battleship, but an Austrian society, and Missouri breathes freely again. The Roman mother as a tradition may yet yield to the Japanese mother in song and story. The one rejoiced when her sons were killed while fighting for their country; the other kills herself that she may not keep her son from going to war. This is indeed the very acme of patriotism. Klazirn Bey, governor of Jerusalem and Palestine, has promised to come to the St. Louis world's fair, but says it will be inconvenient for him to bring his 30 wives. In this respect he will conform to the American custom. Our polygamists do not take their wives with them when they travel. A dispatch from Washington says that the government bureau of engraving and printing is now turning out very hand-some articles in the shape of $10,000 and $5,000 bills. Perhaps it would be wise for you to examine these goods before you lay in your summer stock. Write for samples. The famous glass-bottomed boats through which the visitor at Catalina island, off Los Angeles, Cal., is enabled to examine the submarine wonders in those waters are fairly matched by an ingenious London contrivance of transparent umbrellas. They are ivory colored and can be used without risk of collision in a driving rain. It is generally known that the years 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not leap years, but it is not so well known that 1600 was a leap year, and that 2000 will also be. It is a common saying that the "century years" are not leap years, but that is not quite true. Three days are lost in every four centuries, and thus the calendar will be kept right for 5,000 years. And so there will not be a space of eight years without a leap year until 2100 A.D. It cost the national government over $1,500,000 to run the weather service last year. And a great many citizens of this great and glorious country are disposed to question whether the sort of weather we had during the winter was worth the money. Still, there is another side to the matter. Possibly without the signal service it might have been worse. At any rate it would not have been so easy to trace the cold waves and so have time to get busy with the coal bins. A few days ago it was announced that the grand duke of Oldenburg had arrived at New York on a flying trip to see Niagara falls. Now an Oldenburg newspaper says indignation is felt in the grand duchy at the unexpected trip of the grand duke to the United States. They need not get excited; the American people will not cage the grand duke. By the way, he is head of one of the most ancient royal houses of Europe, holds a front rank among German rulers, and is the first European reigning sovereign who has ever come to the United States. He will not be harmed. A THE EYES OF THE JAPANESE ARMY-CATALRY SCOUTING. TOGO SINKS SEVEN SHIPS IN HARBOR Second Attempt More Successful Than the First. Sixteen Warships Escorted Seven Merchant Steamers to the Mouth of Harbor and Sunk Them. London, March 25.—The Daily Telegraph publishes a dispatch from its Tokio correspondent under yesterday's date, which says: "On the night of March 22 the Japanese fleet renewed the attempt to bottle up Port Arthur. Sixteen warships escorted seven merchant steamers to the mouth of the harbor, and under cover of the bombardment the steamers ran in and were sunk in desired position. Three hundred Japanese officers and blue-fuckets volunteered for this duty. Latest Advices From London Report No New Developments. London, March 25.—The Daily Telegraph's circumstantial report from its Tokio correspondent that the Japanese succeeded in bottling up Port Arthur on the night of March 22, is not confirmed from any other quarter. The special dispatches to the other morning papers announce no new developments, but throw a few side lights on the operations. The Daily Mall's correspondent give from Japanese sources some details of the condition of Port Arthur which were gathered during a recent visit of THE EYES OF THE JAPANES a Chinese junk there. It is asserted that a boom had been placed across the entrance to the roadsted, which was alive with mines so defective and so carelessly laid as to equally endanger both Russian and Japanese vessels. The damaged Russian warships, these reports say, it were repaired with such haste that it is dangerous for them to leave their anchorage. Eight battleships and cruisers and ten torpedo boat destroyers are uninjured, and often leave the harbor, but do not go far. Japanese naval officers praise the quality of the Russian torpedo boat destroyers, which, they confess, have done excellent work, but they declare that the Russian shells are badly fused, and failed to explode except when they strike direct upon armor, and that their charges of guncotton are insufficient to cause serious damage. The Daily Mail's Sahn Hai Kwan correspondent says that the Japanese are secretly engaging Chinese to act as irregular corps. DEVOTION OF THE EMPRESS. Has Aroused Enthusiasistic Admiration of the People. St. Petersburg, March 25.—The devotion of the young empress to the work of the Red Cross society has aroused the enthusiastic admiration of the people. She has thrown herself heart and soul into this work, even personally assisting in the preparation of bandages and other supplies for the sick and wounded. As an evidence of the interest and activity of the empress, she started work at eight o'clock in the morning and did not stop until three o'clock in the afternoon. Her little daughters strive to emulate the example of their mother, and assist in collecting and packing the materials. Tsien Tsin, March 25.—Gen. Kuropatkin is making the fastest time ever made on the Siberian railway—600 miles a day—in his endeavor to reach Liao Yang before the Japanese land and capture New-Chwang. Kuropatkin is even now directing the Russian forces in that part of the field by wire from each station that his special train passes. There is every indication to-day that the first important collision on land will be on the shores of the gulf of Liao Tung. Kuropatkin's train hurrying at highest speed to the danger: point recalls the famous ride of Gen. Sheridan in the Shenandoah valley. THE CHINESE ARMY. Gen. Ma Has Transferred His Headquarters to Tung Chon. Liao Yang, Manchuria, March 25.—Gen. Ma has transferred his headquarters to Tung Chon and his troops have been withdrawn westward of the Sin-Min-Tung railroad. Viceroy Yuan Shi Kal is now at Tien Tsin. His troops are returning to Pao Ting Fu. It is persistently reported that Japanese propose to land troops at Gatsia, north of Shan Mai Kwan. There are numerous Japanese spies at Shan Hai Kwan and elsewhere on the railroad to Yin Kow. Always Watching An-Ju. A detachment of Gen. Mishtchenko's troops remain in North Korea reconnoitering. A party is always watching An-Ju, but the Russians have not encountered any Japanese during the last few days. On the arrival of Gen. Kuropatkin in Transbalkal territory, Gen. Linevitch sent the commander-in-chief a telegram of welcome, saying the troops were thirsting to take revenge on the enemy and were impatiently awaiting his arrival. Advices from South Manchuria and North Korea say all is quiet there. The Russian General Denies Several Reports of Engagements. St. Petersburg, March 25—Maj-Gen. Plug telegraphs from Mukden under Thursday's date as follows: "There is absolutely no truth in the report published in England to the effect that the Japanese have crossed the E ARMY—CATALRY SCOUTING. Ta Tung pass or that they have had engagements with the Russians, while the statement that the way to the Motieff Pass (Motienlieng Pass?), where a strong Russian detachment is alleged to be stationed, is open to the Japanese is also pure invention. To the same category belong the reports published in London newspapers, from Japanese sources, of an engagement alleged to have taken place at Port Arthur, March 19 (March 18?) and of the encounter at Chyong-Syolm (on the Yalu river) in which the Russians were reported to have lost 600 men killed or wounded." NEUTRALITY IN MONGOLIA. The Chinese Are Maintaining Neu- trality, the Russians Are Not. New Chwang, March 25.—Prince Alatsin, sovereign of Mongolia, en route to his capital, arrived at Kin Chow, Wednesday, from Peking and also from Japan, where he witnessed the maneuvers and mobilization of the Japanese army. In accordance with the declaration of Chinese neutrality, Prince Alatsin has commanded the observance of neutrality throughout Mongolia, thus rendering illegal the large pony, beef and feed traffic upon which the Russians are depending, but which, notwithstanding his Japanese sympathies, we has found it impossible to suppress. The maintenance of neutrality by the Chinese in the region between the great wall and the Liao river is said to be complete, thus contrasting with the alleged Russian violation of neutrality in the same region by the maintenance of armed patrols and guards half-way to Shan Hai Kwan. St. Petersburg, March 25.—Grand Duke Cyril, cousin of the czar, who was on board the Askold when that cruiser steamed out of Port Arthur at the head of the fleet during the last bombardment, has been appointed an alde to Admiral Makaroff. A package containing $5,000 sent by a Kansas City bank to Great Bend, Kas., is missing. NEW LOCATION. Wm. Knight, formerly of 2217 Washington avenue.

Oft corroding cares oppress us, Crushing 'neath a weight of wrong, Would we ease the anxious sighting— Would we change it to a song? There is remedy unfalling, The curse curtains; Close the eyes and in the turmoll Pray for patience to endure. In the conflict faint and weary, Pause, look up and ask for light, Through the silent power draw stronger, Where the worldly trials laden, Neath the worldly trials laden, Stop and whisper soft and low, God will hear, and we may trust Him, He will help us. He will know. When the cross would press us downward, With its cruel weight of care, Heavenward walt a simple message; On the wings of silent prayer; Gladly then resume life's dullies, For His presence draweth nigh, And we find each burden lighter, To Him for strength we cry. -Mrs. Margaret Scott Hall, in N. Y. Ob- BEN FRANKLIN ON PRAYER Told the Federal Convention of 1787 That "God Governs in the Affairs of Men." There is an exceedingly interesting document preserved in the department of state, at Washington, in Franklin's own handwriting, and consisting of his draft of a motion which he submitted to the federal convention of 1787. Some there thought it not necessary to have prayers; it must have been a surprise when Franklin presented the following. After alluding to their failure to come to any agreement, he says: "In the situation of this assembly, groping, as it were, in the dark to find political truth, and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us, how has it happened, sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of applying to the Father of Lights to illuminate our understandings? In the beginning of the contest with Great Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayers in this room for the Divine protection! Our prayers, sir, were heard, and they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a Superintending Providence in our succor. To this kind Providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful Friend, or do we imagine we no longer need Its assistance? I have lived, sir, a long time and the longer I live the more convincing proofs I see in this truth: That God governs in the affairs of men. And, if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? "I therefore beg leave to move that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven and its blessing on our deliberations be held in this assembly every morning before we proceed to business. . . . " NOT WORDS, BUT CONDUCT The Best Proof of the Christian Religion Is the Daily Life of The best proof of the divinity of the Christian religion, says John H. Vincent, is the daily life of the Christian himself; not his words and professions, but his conduct and spirit; not his Sunday garb and service, but his everyday tone; not his church ways, but his home walk. In the first third of the first century the world saw the incarnate God—the Word of God made flesh and dwelling in human form among men. The nineteenth and twentieth centuries need no less than this. They must see God manifest in the flesh, that human eyes may now behold, and human hands now handle the word of life; that the supernatural may be brought within our easy reach; that to all inquirers the church may now say as Jesus said to the disciples of John, "Go tell the things which ye do hear and see," not deeds of healing wrought in the flesh, but "greater works than these"—works of healing in the spirit, evil passions subdued, bad habits broken, burdens of sin removed, blessings of spiritual life bestowed, steadiness of purpose and experience through all outward vicitissitudes made clear to a witnessing world. A life thus setting forth the power of Christ in this present time is worth more than all the books of argument and all the sermons and lecture courses of a century in favor of Christianity. It is another word of God, a living epistle read and known of all. It is a silent, present, unshadowed, unanswerable demonstration. It makes doubt impossible. Men simply feel its force and are silent—then turn to pray. Making the Gift Good. A good receiver is rarer than a good giver. Though not a whole truth, the sentiment of a German poet is suggestive indeed: "What the gods give is neither good nor bad; the receiver first makes the gift." He makes it when he accepts it, and in the spirit in which he accepts it. God gives us free air, water, light, food, and the products and forces and beauties of nature, with infinite bounty. How often do we take them to our own destruction! We live by these things, then turn a large part of our lives into the devil's service. Thus we make the divine gift an evil thing. Wonderful power this, that God's love has put into our perverse hands! Shall we make the gift good?—S. S. Times. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

A world without God is a circle without a center. The principle of expediency is worse than none at all. A man cannot be fervent in spirit if he is slothful in business. True prayer is more likely to transform our wills than to change God's. The fool who buries his head in the dust has usually the impudence to declare that there can be nothing divine. —Ram's Horn. IMPORTANT. The Married Women's Harper club met at 3914 Sophia avenue, the residence of Mrn. Davis. They were entertained in the most stylish manner. They were conducted into the dining room, where the table was spread with all the good things of the season. Among those present we noticed Krs. Easton, of San Antonio, Tex.; Mrs. Watkins, Simms, Murphy and others. The house was decorated so as to look like a fairy garden or the paradise above. The whole affair was very pleasant. Mrs. W. H. Davis has been sick since. She is better now. We wish to call special attention to the undertaker business of Harrison-McKoin, 2743 Wash street. They will supply you with a winter overcoat that will last until doomsday. Remember Mr. John W. Wheeler Jr. is a professional pianist. He plays a high-class music, and he takes high-class advertisements for The Palladium. When you help us, you help a worthy young man. J. W. WHEELER. THE WORLD'S FAIR 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.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an Issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fine subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. T. F. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The People's Choice for President. See cupon for voting contest on first page. We have received the tenth annual number of the Florida Sentinel, of Pensacola, Fla. It stamps the editor and staff as men of enterprise and good judgment. With such enthusiasm among our people, the idle report of the governor of Mississippi concerning our young men is proven to be fruitless. The staff of the Florida Sentinel ought to send several copies of its tenth annual issue to the governor, so he can see that man is not in color, fashion or in dress. We highly indorse the Sentinel's issue. The state has closed its case in the Rudolph trial at Union, Mo. Rudolph's hope for acquittal is in magnifying the fact that the killing of Detective Schumacher was seen by no eye-witness. Carpenters, painters and plumbers are delaying the final touches to the St. Louis World's fair buildings by making demands for heavily increased pay and inaugurating strikes. The house committee investigating charges of postal irregularities against congressmen is expected to bring in a report severely censuring certain subordinates of the post office department. The tension between Russia and China is becoming serious, and, it is asserted by a semi-official newspaper at Berlin, Russia's worst fears seem approaching realization. Owing to lack of united action on part of St. Louis churches, no tabernacle for union services will be erected at the World's fair. Congressman Rodenberg secured the postponement of the consolidation of the stock yards and East St. Louis post offices. George Scott, an escaped negro convict from Jefferson City, Mo., was arrested, Wednesday night, in St. Louis. NOTICE. It is rumored that Mr. Arthur L. Jones, a south side resident, and an all-round athlete, is about to open a gymnasum and training school, if suitable location can be found. The Douglas Social Club—2106 Walnut Street. One of the finest social clubs in the city is the Douglass Club. We were astonished to find such a club for the accommodation of our people.

If you wish to spend a delightful time and enjoy yourself, go to the Douglass Club, 2106 Walnut street, for the members of this club will receive you and entertain you in the most royal manner. Don't forget the place, and the names of those who are managing the clubhouse for its members. MR. CHARLES NARCISE, Pres. MR. T. H. MILES, Secretary. We call special attention to the ads of A. J. Smith and J. G. Gardner, of 1315-1317 Clark avenue. These gentlemen are from the mild state of Tennessee.

Gerhart Construction Co. by the Egyptian club, an organization formed for the entertainment of Colored visitors to the World's fair, for the erection of club buildings. The club has leased from the Goodfellow Investment Co., 523 feet fronting on the north side of Delmar boulevard, between Goodfellow and Hamilton avenues. Work on the buildings is to be completed by June 1. The officers of the Egyptian club are: Prof. Arthur D. Langston, president; Dr S. P. Staffo1, Lorenzo W. Harris, vice-presidents; Dr. D. P. Roberts, treasurer; Albert Burgess, secretary. The business offices are on North Tenth street. Mr. Harvys is manager. The object of the Egyptian club is to provide Colored Americans visiting the World's fair with refreshments, medals, facilities of barber shop, reading room, bowling alleys, shower laths, etc. The club buildings will consist of a café and restaurant, with reading rooms, barber shop, bowling alleys and billiard rooms, a music pavilion and a theater building of fine proof construction, having an auditorium capable on seating 1,891 persons comfortably. The building will present a very attractive appearance, both from within and without, being faced with red stock brick, with white terra cotta trimmings. The dimensions of the cafe and restaurant buildings are 88 feet front by 121 feet depth. The height is 40 feet and the style of architecture of the pure Greek ionic order. The seating capacity of restaurant will be 1,200 persons in twenty-four hours. Spacious porches surround the entire building. All buildings will be lighted by electricity—Globe-Democrat. We are sorry indeed to see some of our best citizens lend their names to real estate men to sell their property. We do not believe some of the names attached to the article were given with their consent, and the scheme is that of some tricky white men to bluff the owners around the vicinity to get them to buy said property. The promoters of the scheme ought to be horsewhipped for making such a bluff. The Newport Restaurant, 2321 Market Street, the Finest Cafe. Mason & Lowery have opened their doors at 2321 Market street, with all the delicacies of the season. It is an undeniable fact that they are veterans in their business. Don't forget to give them a call. This cafe is fitted up with all conveniences necessary to make it the equal of any in this country for the accommodation of our people. Remember that Mason & Lowery have the reputation of being the two best caterers in the south. So go and get what you really need, at 2321 Market street.

The Most Comprehensive and One of the Most Valuable at the World's Fair. Coins of seventy nations, the most comprehensive exhibit, as well as one of the most valuable, will be a feature of the display of the United States mint at the World's fair. The coins are now being put in shape for shipment from Washington, and are expected to reach the government building at the exposition in a few weeks. Owing to the establishment of a mint at Denver, the treasury department will make the first complete display of minting machinery in its history. The machinery will be used to coin the souvenir medal which will be made from oreide and approximates in size the double eagle. Every process of mining will be illustrated. The metals composing this golden colored alloy, will be weighed out and placed in melting crucibles. These will be heated to the proper degrees in gas furnaces, and the melt poured into ingot molds. The ingots will be twelve inches long and two inches wide. Passed between huge rollers the metal will be reduced to a ribbon of the requisite thickness and about six feet long. This will be passed to the press which cuts out disks, "planchets" they are called, the size of the coin. These will be passed to an upset machine which thickens the edge and prepares it for stamping. The medal disks will then go through an acid bath to take off the scale and clean them, after which they will be dried in a revolving basket. Then comes the final stamping, where the disks, with slightly thickened edge are fed into a hopper in the top of the press and come out bright and shining coins in every outward respect except for the milled edge. Workmen under the direction of H. J. Slaker, of the Philadelphia mint, are now installing the machinery, which will soon be ready for operation. Suit to Recover $134,000. Elizabeth W. Platt and others filed suit against members of the brokerage firm of D. R. Francis, Bro. & Co. and Charles R. Platt, in the circuit court in St. Louis, to recover the value of stocks of a face value of $134,000 belonging to the estate of Henry E. Platt. It is stated that the stocks were deposited in a safe-deposit box, to which Charles R. Platt had access, and that he hypotecated the stocks with the brokerage firm. It is further claimed that the firm used the stocks in liquidating losses made by Charles R. Platt. The latter is a son of the leading plantif. The Plat family is prominent in business and social circles. The Milier Murder Case. At Sikeston Dr. Warren Smith, after being formally charged by the coroner's jury with having caused the death of Harry Miller, waived a preliminary hearing, and gave bond for $10,000 to insure his appearance, should the grand jury find a true bill against him. The coroner's jury also held Mrs. Harry Miller as an accessory to the poisoning of her husband. She appeared in the justice court and was released upon bond of $5,000. That morphine poisoning was the cause of Miller's death the jury is sure. The coroner stated that the chemist who made an examination of the stomach found distinct signs of the drug. How the Conductor Did It. J. O. Maddox was taken to Hannibal on the charge of murdering Richard P. Moss at Huntington. The arrest was made by Benjamin L. Walker, a passenger conductor on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad, who noticed Maddox beside the track five miles from Huntington. Conductor Walker stopped the train and compelled the man to climb on board at the point of a revolver. Arriving in Hannibal, the prisoner was ledged in jail. St. Joseph Press Excursion. The executive committee of the Northwest Missouri Press association met and perfected arrangements for the press excursion from St. Joseph to the World's fair at St. Louis May 16, which is the date of the World's Press Parliament convention. Blew Out the Gas. Peter Rowe, aged 18, and his father Edward Rowe, aged 45, blew out the gas in a St. Louis hotel. The former was asphyxilated and the latter nearly so. Porters' Club to Incorporate. Railway porters on lines centering in St Louis have formed a club, and have applied to the circuit court for a pro forma degree of incorporation. S. Louisan Accused of Murder. John Bauer, known to the police as "St Louis kid," was arrested in Kansas City on suspicion of being implicated in the murder of a hack driver. Wiss Gauld Disappointed. Miss Helen Gould is keenly disappointed over the failure of the project to establish a day nursery at the St Louis exposition. Alleged Lawbreaker Arrested. Ollie Brown, John Farrell and Frank Daggett, charged with illegal registration, were arrested and locked up in Kansas City. For Intimidating Voters. John J. Lavin and eight members of the police department were indicted in St. Louis for intimidating voters at the primary Post Office Inspectors Trying to Locate Bags That Contained $20,000 in Drafts. John D. Sullivan, acting chief postoffice inspector, and several assistants are engaged in the investigation of the loss of mail pouches stolen at Poplar Bluff on February 27 last and which are supposed to have contained a number of drafts on St. Louis banks to the amount of $15,000 or $20,000. The pouches were routed from Memphis to St. Louis via Poplar Bluff, where they should have been transferred from the Cairo train to the Iron Mountain. The first information the department received that there were valuables in the pouches was the complaint from a number of banks at Oran and Butler, Mo., as to the failure to return drafts against St. Louis banks mailed on that date. The pouches are also believed to have contained drafts from the grand director of the Knights of Honor, Edward Catherina, of Memphis, to Frank B. Sliger, supreme treasurer of the order in St. Louis, amounting to $4,000 or $5,000. Inspector Sullivan said that the report of the missing drafts had arrived so long after the disappearance of the missing pouch that it would be extremely difficult to trace it, though there has been no announcement as yet that any of the drafts have been negotiated. Armstrong Surprises Clergymen. Armatec Surprises Clergymen. "Is There a Gospel of Salvation for adults?" was the somewhat surprising title of a paper read by Rev. Dr. J. C. Armstrong, editor of the Central Baptist, at a Baptist ministers' meeting in St. Louis. Dr. Armstrong raised the question as to whether the Baptist church would not die if the members were counted among persons received after the age of 15 years. An utterance by an Episcopal minister, and another by a Congregational minister, each acknowledging that almost all the members came from boys and girls in their teens, had prompted Dr. Armstrong, he said, to such a discussion. While heartily approving the work in the Sunday-school and among young people generally, he urged that more should be done for their elders. Rev. J. P. Stuart, pastor of the Compton Heights church, spoke of the enthusiasm and substantial benefit which his own church was receiving from men and women who had been baptized after reaching adult years. Co-Operative Farmers Meet. The board of directors of the Farmers' Co-Operative Shipping association, representing nearly 4,000 farmers in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma, adjoined its semi-annual meeting, in Kansas City, after declaring a dividend of 8 per cent. About 25 of the stockholders attended the meeting and joined the directors at an informal banquet. The association is incorporated under the laws of Kansas. Its authorized capital is $200,000. Its objects are to buy, sell and handle grain and other farm products on consignment only and for the benefit of the stockholders, thus wiping out the profits of the middlemen. It now owns nineteen elevators and buys grain directly from farmers at 47 stations in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma. Masked Man Wreck Steel Work; G. F. Bullingal Dend. George F. Ballingal, aged 60, a well-known attorney, and former state senator, died at his home in Kansas City of heart disease. He made the nominating speech in support of the candidacy of George G. Vest when the latter was first elected to the United States renate. Good Rounds Meeting at Jackson. The state board of agriculture, through J. Ward King, held a very enthusiastic good roads meeting at Jackson, Mo. The business men of the city made a purse for premiums for the best mile of dragged road. Dean's Helper Arrested.

WOMAN AND HOME President of General Federation of Women's Clubs Has Established a Unique Record. Mrs. Demies T. S. Denison, president of the General Federation of Women's clubs, is at present at her home in West One Hundred and Third street, Manhattan, resting between journeys. And she probably needs the rest. For three months she was as continually on the road as a commercial traveler. In those three months she traveled more than most women do in a lifetime, and all without going outside of the United States. She crossed the Mississippi six times, got almost out to the coast twice and kept engagements in Louisiana and Texas, and engagements in Michigan and the Dakotas. She visited 22 states in all, traveled about 30,000 miles, talked to not far from 100,000 women and came home fresh as a daisy and having gained weight during her travels. That is something of a record even for these strenuous days, and now she has started off again to Florida first and then to Arkansas and Tennessee and possibly to one or two other places. All this, of course, on federation business. Who takes the place of president to that enormous aggregation of women must make up her mind to put her own private and personal affairs entirely in the background for two years. And even that Mrs. Denison has not done, inasmuch as her mother has been very ill—a situation which she did not foresee when she took the presidency—and she has been drawn hither and yon by a divided duty, and succeeded in neglecting neither. But poor Mr. Denison. He has been practically wifeless for the past year, between his wife's mother and his wife's clubs. However, he brought it on himself, so far as the clubs are concerned. MRS. D. T. S. DENISON. (President of the General Federation of Woman's Clubs.) for it was he who urged and encouraged his wife to go into club life and cheered her through her first moments of stage fright and was so proud and pleased at the general recognition of her brilliancy and graciousness and ability that she couldn't help being pleased and proud with him. Speaking of her travels—and even as she spoke Mrs. Denison was dressed and ready to go to a big local club reception as "guest of honor"—she said to a Brooklyn Eagle reporter: "I had a perfectly delightful trip in every way. It seemed to me that each town outdid the last I had visited in its welcome. And those western club women! They are such forceful, brainy, practical creatures. They don't seem to waste so much time on unimportant details, but get right down to the meat of the matter. I suppose that in our eastern cities our various reforms and charities and public works are so well organized, so crystallized that there is not so much for the clubs to do. But out west the women's clubs are an active living public force, doing things that ought to be done, accomplishring things that need accomplishing. And their hospitality is not mere civility; their politeness seems to be a deep seated courtesy that springs from real kindness. "I think any one who had been on my recent trip with me would have realized the uses of women's clubs. Possibly occasionally they would have realized their abuses, too. But in the main they do stimulate and develop. And the club woman is not necessarily a masculine, domineering, unwomanly creature. She can overdo it, of course, and sometimes clubs seem to become an obsession with women. But those are the women who are naturally ill-balanced; if it wasn't clubs it would be something else. Of course, a whole lot of them take themselves with tremendous seriousness and are awfully funny. "This southern trip of mine is probably the last one I shall take as president of the general federation. My term ends in the spring." Corned beef hash is said to make an excellent stuffing for green peppers. Of course no one would make hash on purpose to stuff peppers with, but hash is often left over. A housewife of an experimental frame of mind who had hash left over filled some peppers with it, poured around them a brown gravy of butter, flour and water and baked them. She says there is no doubt of the success of that experiment. UNIQUE PHOTOGRAPH FANS A Novelty from Germany Which I Destined to Become Quite Popular in This Country. Of the making of fans there appears to be practically no end in these days, and novelty and artistic results are the dual aims of the designer and manufacturer of these essential possessions of maid and matron. The Frenchman and the American are exceedingly adept as fan designers and constructors, but the newest idea in this line comes from the land of the Teenon. It is the photograph fan of which a picture is here shown. The THE PHOTOGRAPH FAN. framework is of thin silk and tortoise shell, the mount elaborately decorated in gold. In orchid design silk is applied on the foundation fabric, with the petals so arranged as to leave space for the painted portraits of the owner's dear friends. In place of the painted picture a tiny photograph may be inserted if desired, and if cleverly done the effect is, good, although the painted miniature adds to the picturesque and artistic effect of the fan. The college girl, the debutante and the young girl in General is likely to approve of such a fan, as it can be made to serve a decorative as well as useful purpose and hold the place of honor as a photo frame.—Brocklyn Engle. HINTS FOR YOUNG MOTHERS Caring for the Baby Is Robbed of Many Trials by Adopting a Rational System. Young mothers usually know very little about the care of babies, and this lack of knowledge is apt to make the task seem a very difficult one. Let his clothes be soft, warm and comfortable. We often fail to realize how much more sensitive he is to changes of temperature than we are, and are not careful enough to guard against them. The room in which he stays should be kept as near the same temperature as possible, and well sentilated, but avoid keeping him in a draft or he will be apt to have the colic. A healthy baby, that has not been taught bad habits, will be happy and contented in his crib the greater part of the day, allowing the mother time to attend to other duties, or to rest. He does not need to be held in your arms all the time, and he never needs to be carried about to amuse him. Few mothers are strong enough for that task, and they should never begin it. A great deal of worry and many cross spells might be saved if the mother would begin by having regular hours for feeding and bathing the baby. The bath should not be neglected, for so much of his comfort depends upon it that he will be restless and cross without it. Have the room warm and the water just warm enough for comfort. Get the bath tub in place, with towels and clean clothes hung on a chair before the fire, so they will be at hand when needed. Bathe him quickly, and wipe him dry with a very soft linen towel. Dust him under the arms and any other places that seem in danger of chafing with a powder composed of ten parts talcum powder and one part boracic acid, thoroughly mixed by sitting together two or three times. This is very soothing and healing, and when prepared at home it is inexpensive, and one can be sure to have it pure. Slip his clothes on and fasten them with as little turning and twisting as possible, and if he is not hungry he will fall into a quiet, refreshing sleep. When babies are teething they need special care to keep them well. They should have plenty of simple and nutritious food that is easily digested. The gurus become swollen and the mouth feverish. Give them a drink of water occasionally and see how eagerly they take it. Any tendency toward diarrhoea should be checked at once If home remedies fall call a physician without delay.—St. Louis Republic. They Like to Be Ugly. As if nature had not been unkind enough, the Thibetan woman heightens her ugliiness by smearing her face with a horrible black cintment to keep her skin from cracking in the dry wind. Her dress is not different from her husband's. Her crowning glory is her hair. Plastered down with butter from the part to the ears. It goes off behind into a surburst of small braids to which is fastened a great fan-shaped headress falling to the hem of her garnets. It is of spreading strips of red and blue cloth joined horizontally by iron bands and ornamented with countless coral and malachite heads, silver coins, and tiny bellies. The one poetic thing about a Thibetan lady is the sound of her gong—a soft, melodious tinkle, belying the gregesqueness of her face.

G WESTERN CANADA HAS AN EXCELLENT CLIMATE The Saskatchewan Valley Very Highly Favored. An interesting feature of Western Canada is its climate. Those who have made a study of it speak highly of it. The Canadian Government Agents are sending out an Atlas, and at the same time giving valuable information concerning railway rates, etc., to those interested in the country. As has been said, the climate is excellent. The elevation of this part of Canada is about 1,800 feet above the sea, about twice that of the average for Minnesota. It is a very desirable altitude. The country has a very equable climate, taking the seasons through. The winters are bright and the summers are pleasantly warm. R. F. Stuart, director of the meteorological service for Canada, says: "The salient features of the climate of the Canadian northwest territories "are a clear, bracing atmosphere during the greater part of the year, and a medium rainfall and snowfall. The "mean temperature for July at Winnipeg is 66, and Prince Albert 62. The "former temperature is higher than at any part of England, and the latter is very similar to that found in many parts of the southern countries." At Prince Albert the average daily maximum in July is 76 and the minimum 48. Owing to this high day temperature with much sunshine, the crops come to maturity quickly. Moisture is ample in the Saskatchewan valley, being about 18 inches annually. It is notable that about 75 per cent. of the moisture fails during the crop months. Thus, Western Canada gets as much moisture when it is needed and with several hours more sunshine daily than land further south gets during the growing season, it is not difficult to understand why crops mature quickly and yield bountifully. Winter ends quickly, sowing is done during April and sometimes in March. Harvest comes in August, about the middle. Cyclones, blizzards, dust and sand storms are unknown. The Jaws as Soldiers. An officer of the United States army who happened to be in town yesterday, and who is qualified to speak, both from training an experience, of the Armies of Russia and Japan, expressed his amazement at the popular impression that as soon as the scene of the war in the east shifted from sea to land there would be a corresponding change in the favor of fortune. "Why," he said, "I know the makeup of both armies. Whatever may be said of the officers, the line of the Russian land forces is made up of badlypaid, badly-housed, badly-fed men of a low grade of intelligence. They are in poor mental and physical condition and they are not personally interested one way or the other in the outcome of any war in which they may be ordered to engage. On the other hand, it is hard to underestimate the amazing qualifications of the Japanese rank and file. These little brown men—in strong contrast to their enemies—have all been well taken care of. They are well paid, well housed and full of intelligence. Every one of these little brown fellows is trained like an athlete, and the army is always kept, even individually, in the best of conditions. From the highest officer down to and through the men behind the guns they are all enthusiasts, and all have studied and become familiar with the topography of the country in which they are now called upon to fight. Far from matters changing when naval fights give place to land battles, I expect to see the real surprise come when the Japs meet the Russians ashore."—N. Y. Tribune. The Judge and the Lawyers. The judge had had his patience sorely tried by lawyers who wished, to talk and by men who tried to evade jury service. Between hypothetical questions and excuses it seemed as if they never would get to the actual trial of the case. So when the puzzled little German, who had been accepted by both sides, jumped up, the judge was exasperated. "Shudge!" cried the German. "What is it?" demanded the judge. "I tink I like to go home to my wife," said the German. "You don't," retorted the judge. "Sit down." "But, shudge," perished the German, "I don't tink I make a good shurter." "What box?" asked the German. "The jury box," said the judge. "Oh, I thought it vas a bad box that peoples gets in somedimes." "No," said the judge; "the bad box is the prisoner's box." "But, shudge," persisted the little German, "I don't speak good English." "You won't have to speak any at all," said the judge. "Sit down." The little German pointed at the lawyers to make his last desperate plea. "Shudge," he said, "I can't make nodings out of what these fellers say." It was the judge's chance to get even for many annoyances. "Neither can onyone else," he said. "Sit down." With a sigh, the little German sat down.—Chicago Post. Some More Nonsense Exploded. After studying and photographing more than 40,000 pairs of cars of persons, including those of 2,000 insane and 800 criminals, and those of 300 animals, an English criminologist is forced to conclude that the car gives no clew to personal traits. This is a airblow to the so-called scientists who think they can pick out the enemies of society by the angles at which the latter wear their cars.—N. Y. Tribune. Tortoise Shell "Direct from Tortoil" Where the Reptiles Were Doubless Raised. Less genuine tortoise shell is imported in New York from India now than there has been for a great many years, owing to the active efforts of the Jans. This, says the New York Times, is an influential sect of humanitarians with headquarters at Dombuy, but with thriving communities throughout the world, we have the behal of the tortoise is much the same as that of the Audubon societies in this country with regard to birds. Great cruelies, the Jams allege, are practiced in the tortoise shell trade, and they are trying to stop it. A woman who had read about this movement went into a Broadway store and looked at some tortoise shell combs. "But are they genuine?" she asked. "There are so many imitations in the market now." "Oh, yes, these are genuine," replied the dealer. "We get them from our own agents, direct from Tortoil." For Growing Girls. West Pembroke, Me., March 21.-Mrs. A. L. Smith, of this place, says that Dodd's Kitten hills are the best remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith emphasizes her recommendation by the following experience: "My daughter was thirteen years old last November and it is now two years since she was first taken with Crazy Spells that would last a week and would then pass off. In a month she would have the spells again. At these times she would white out every title and was very yellow, even the whites of her eyes would be yellow. "The doctors gave us no encouragement, they all said they could not help her. After taking one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad spell. Of course, we continued the treatment uninterrupted. We have boxes, and we still give them to her occasionally, when she is not feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the best medicine for growing girls." Mothers should heed the advice of Mrs. Smith, for by so doing they may save their daughters much pain and sickness and ensure a healthy happy future for them.

Y., says: "For eight years I suffered constant agony from kidney complaint. I endured the worst torture from gravel and the kidney secretions were excessive and contained sediment like brick dust. I had to get out of bed from ten to twenty times a night and the loss of sleep wore me out. Indigestion came on and the distress after eating was terrible. Doan's Kidney Pills effected a complete and lasting cure, and after the symptoms of kidney trouble were gone my stomach began to work as it should. This lasting cure, especially in a person of my age, proves the great value of Doan's Kidney Pills more convincingly than could any words of mine." Doan's Kidney Pills sold by all druggists; price 50 cents per box, or mailed on receipt of price by Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Write for free trial --- The Problem of the Weather. According to a paper by Mr. McAdie, recently published by the Smithsonian institution, it appears doubtful if the official weather-forcecasters are today much in advance of their predecessors of 25 years ago. This means that an extension must be made of our knowledge of the atmosphere before more accurate weather predictions will become possible. The establishment of an aerosphysical observatory is advocated for the study of all the influences and conditions that affect and govern the weather. It is asserted that the origin of the electricity of thunder-clouds is as little understood to-day as was the nature of lightning itself before Franklin's famous experiment with his kite nearly 150 years ago.—Youth's Companion. Ten Choice Poems. A certain Georgia literary society in the Bibville district, being asked to name the ten best poems in the English language, sent in the following list: "Punkin's Good Enough for Me." "When the Green Is On the Melon." "The Old Red Hills of Georgia." "When Nancy Went to Meetin'." "Love and "Tater Pone." The secretary of the society sent word that "all these poems was wrote by home folks."—Atlanta Constitution. Commenced at the Top. A young lady was sketching in watercolors the other day in a suburban place, and three little Indian children came and played about her. They locked at her picture and seemed to be much interested in it. She had painted in her sky, but had merely outlined the landscape. She was curious to see what the children thought of the picture at this stage. "Do you know what it is?" she asked. "Oh, yes," said one of the children, a little girl; "you're making the whole world, and you're finished the upstairs!"--Boston Transcript. Just So. From whom do we get our current impression of the extravagance of women? From the men. From whom do we get our impressions of the extravagance of the men? From nobody.

It In Possible. There is an eminent physician in London who takes the position that the health of the people would be, on an average, better and the duration of human life longer, if there were not a practicing physician in the world. In other words, he favors the idea often tersely expressed in the words: "Physicians kill more people than they cure."-Detroit Free Press. A Sad Affair.

In my rounds as a travelling man I am a walking advertisement for Peruna and have induced many people during the past year to use Peruna with the most satisfactory results. I am still cured of catarrh." John O. Atkinson, Box 272, Independence, Mo. When old age comes on, catarrhdiscases come also. Systemic catarrh is almost universal in old people. This explains why Peruna has become so indispensable to old people. Peruna is their safe-guard. Peruna is the only remedy yet devised that meets these cases exactly. Such cases cannot be treated locally; nothing but an effective systemic remedy could cure them. This is exactly what Peruna is. If you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

"Her case had baffled the skill of some of the most noted physicians. One of her worst troubles was chronic constipation of several years' standing. "She also was passing through that most critical period in the life of a woman—change of life. In June, 1895, I wrote to you about her case. You advised a course of Peruna and Manalin, which we at once commenced, and have to say it completely cured her. She firmly believes that she would have been dead only for these wonderful remedies. "About the same time I wrote you about my own case of catarrh, which had been of 25 years' standing. At times I was almost past going. I commenced to use Peruna according to your instructions and continued its use for about a year, and it has completely cured me. "Your remedies do all that you claim for them, and even more.

Said the old deacon: "When I was young and frolicsome, I use to belong to them Methodist doin's. Methodists are good people. They don't spend much time in pickin' company neither. No, they take less time with that kind o' foolishness than the older people did, who were truly 'Iligious Christians. Anybody now, just so he has money and not so particular about doin' right. I told Wilhite that, if he was goin' into that Methodist, Sunday, he must not insist on singin' right and teachin' as Christ did. For if he did the preacher, all the church nearly would join in kicking him out." ```markdown ``` "Did I see her? Course I did. Them electric rays could not shine between them. They did not mean to force themselves on anybody's attention by gettin' in the light. They rode to Brooklyn, one in one end and one in the other end of the car. They got off one block beyond Dowlin's corner, to prevent that electric light from meddling in their business. You know how meddlesome these electric lights are when you are tryin' to hide what the right hand does from that peepin' and pearin' lef' han'. I tell you these double quick convert Methodists who are too brave to practice that silly teachin' of Christ (Wilhite, he's foolish enough to teach it in the day school callin it morals and manners, and put near cryin' about it) "coffessin' your faults to neighbors," is the dark in the light she's you born. When Wilhite knows about Aunt Hagar's chillin' ligion as I does, he'll just say: "Go long, chillin. Joy yourselves; fur you can't, when you are dead." "Some of our Newport Christians think that the world should know that there is a palace being erected to the honor and glory of firewater and other innerman inspiring stimulants.
