The National General Evangelical Missionary Workers of the United States of America and Canada, by Bishop A. Mack, D. D. He delivered a lecture subject "THE STRAIGHT GOODS." He says there are many ways to come to St. Louis to the World's fair. Some can come by the Burlington route, some by the C. & A., some by the M. K. & T., Missouri Pacific or the Wabash, or the Iron Mountain, or the Rock Island. Then some can come by the steam vessels. In all of these ways they must bring forth greenbacks and silver to come, which may be termed as the "STRAIGHT GOODS." If an individual starts a journey for Heaven there is nothing that will carry him through the gates into the City, except regeneration, or born again. This is the pure wheat which may be termed as the "STRAIGHT GOODS," which will carry you through the gates into the City of that goodly land. It is a grand thing to carry out the Lord's commission. His commission is to raise the fallen and instill in the hearts of men and women the characteristics of Christ. In all nations and nationalities it should be the primary movement to elevate and better the condition of mankind. This is one of the primary movements of the gospel. We find in the United States 70,900,387 people, and a great many of this great number are unsaved. There is no greater work under the sun than to save men and women from that awful destruction that awaits them. Happy is the man who has been called and chosen to preach the Gospel to every creature and tell the people to bring forth fruit, meat for repentance and to know God in the pardon of their sins. This is the evidence of the "STRAIGHT GOODS." The Lord has made a decree to individuals who will help support this great work in giving freely as God has blessed them. He tells us in His words to the individual who will contribute in His great work, "He shall have corn and wine, and shall be blessed in this world, and his barn house shall be filled, and he shall have a home in His Kingdom if he will repent and be converted." This is the only way to bring up the "STRAIGHT GOODS." What we need in our cities and towns is good judges with earnest hearts, and governors who have got the people to heart. And to this great nation the United States should make every effort to elect for president of this great nation such men as President Roosevelt and Ex-President Grover Cleveland. These two great men have shown no partiality in presiding over this great nation. This is the way for all men to do. Treat all men alike. By this you will bring forth "ROYAL GOODS." We, the great Baptist church, believe in nothing else but regeneration, or born again, and after these qualifications, the candidate is a fit subject for baptism in emersion. We believe before a candidate is baptized he has got to be baptized with water, but not baptized until he goes under the water. The woman who washer clothes washes them with water, but can not wash the clothes until she puts them under the water. When an individual dyes a garment he dyes them with ink, but can not complete the job until he puts it under the ink. This expresses the true baptism, and the only way to bring up the "STRAIGHT GOODS." There are some men in this world that have even organized societies to down the Lord's church and to impede the progress of the Lord's ministers. But yet, they go forward and proclaim His gospel into all the world. There is no law in this country that will try to stop them. I see blasphemers and murderers of the Gospel almost ground up into powder. It goes to show you that the Lord is the head of His church and the General of His ministers. And one Lord has demanded His church and ministers to pray. This is one of the ways to bring forth the "STRAIGHT GOODS." Baptist associations and executive boards would me to rufe over this noble church, and would like to say that the church belonged to them, but God has always got a man to show the rats of their mischief. But God has put the power in the church; the church handles all ministers and members. The church denounces all disorderly ministers and members. That power is invested in the church. The church recommends all of her good ministers. There is no throne higher than the church. The church lives when the minister is lying beneath the sod. One Lord has fixed it; so let the minister and the member be subjected to the Lord's church, and this will be one of the chief ways to bring forth the "STRAIGHT GOODS." God always has men in this world who will contribute to good works. He brings to their store houses double folds and one of these great charitable men is John D. Rockefeller, of New York, who is a Baptist, dyed in the wool. This great charitable man never fails to help the churches and the ministers. He is one of the millionaires that always hands down the "STRAIGHT GOODS." The next great and noble man is Mr. Andrew Bush, of St. Louis, Mo., who is another millionaire and. Oh how wonderful God blesses this man in double folds. No one knows but God what Mr. Bush does in a year for the ministers and churches. God will reward this good man for bringing forth the "STRAIGHT GOODS." The evangelical preachers who are called and chosen to preach the gospel from city to city must be helped, for they are under no salary whatever. But when they obey the Lord's commission and keep His commandments, there is some one that will hand down to him the "STRAIGHT GOODS," for the Bible declares that he who preaches the gospel must live off of the gospel. Bishop C. C. Cole of the First Baptist Church of St. Louis and Bishop Stevens of the Central Baptist church of St. Louis are sure teaching their flock the principles of Baptists. They are teaching the church its rights as a church and its general authority and showing the church how to carry out the policy and authority in a nut shell. This is the principle of the "STRAIGHT GOODS." There is one thing that the Negro Baptists' preachers should learn and the churches, that is, to teach the real object of Baptist Associations and Executive Boards. No Baptist Association should use the word delegate. According to Baptist polity the word messenger should be used. The meaning of this is to report the work. This is the way to give the understanding of the "STRAIGHT GOODS." This way of messengers sent from each independent body or church to meet at a certain place and then have gall to say to the churches that the church belongs to their association when the church is a Divine institution and cannot belong to anything except itself. But the messengers must belong to the church. Now here is the point that I want to make. No messenger can make a compellment of taxes for churches to go by. This is assuming authority that does not belong to messengers and the churches should not stoop down to such actions. The way to get missionary money is to let every church or independent body set a day to take up collections for the associations. If it is $100.00 or $500.00 let it be sent by the messengers to the association and be used for what it is taken up for. By doing this you will get more money and will give greater satisfaction. This is the way to bring forth the "STRAIGHT GOODS" of Peace. It is very easy for messengers to go to the associations and say what churches SHALL do. It makes a general kick throughout the country. It is better to insert the word advice. This is the only way to bring forth the "STRAIGHT GOODS." Two messengers sent from each independent body or church when they are met together and organized into a Baptist Association—remember—they cannot make laws for the independent bodies or churches to go by. This would not be bringing forth the "STRAIGHT GOODS." Has Returned Home Mrs. C. W. Lee, of 456 North Sarah street, has returned home from Tipton, Mo., where she has been for several months. We sent The Palladium to her while she was in Tipton. She came home to take up her work. She is indeed a good artist. See her ad. in The Palladium.

Last Monday night one of the most select of gatherings met at Douglass hall, in attendance upon the annual ball of the caterer waiters. Mr. Henry Taylor made the address of the evening, after which those present enjoyed themselves dancing. Among the large number present were: Mrs. Franklin, of 2812 Sheridan; Messrs. W. H. Parker and Rogers, post office employes; Mrs. Ophelia Morgan, of 2646 Randolph; Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Holt, and brother; Mr. Tom Evans, of 3652 Evans avenue; Mrs. Henry R. Taylor and two sons and daughter. We were struck with astonishment when our eyes fell on the most attractive and beautiful costume that was worn by Miss Fannie Strothers, of $326½ Franklin avenue. Her figure was that of a venus; her dress fitted as if it had been molded on her. It showed a beautiful form. Indeed, she was the center of attraction. Her movement s, graceful and dignified, complete y bewitched everyone. Our eyes would pass from her, but cre long we would be looking at that same angle on earth. Oh, Aunt Hager has some very, very beautiful children. Mrs. Mattie Monday, who is the guest of Mrs. ampbell, of 2635 Lucas avenue, was at the Douglass hall, last Monday night. he was one of the most conspicuous persons present, as the gown that sh. wore was imported from Paris. It was exceedingly grand. Her movements were as perfect as clock work. Her dancing was perfect, and the admiration of all. Really the completion of that magnificent ball could not have excelled, if she had not been present. Mrs. Fannie Cooper was the next bewitching lady our eyes fell on. She was very attractive, and her dress was costly. Her diamonds were the center of attraction. Mrs. Cooper is indeed a lovely mortal. Then we noticed another beauty, Mrs. Ida Goodrich, of Nashville, Tenn. She was quite attractive. The two daughters of Mrs. Richardson, of 324 Montrose avenue, were there. Mrs. Emma Murphy, the littlest wife in St. Louis, was there, accompanied by Mrs. Bernard, the sister of Mrs. W. T. Curtis. We notice that a certain young lady can never go out unless Mr. W. Cole is near by. We think this has been going on long enough. If he is too bashful to pop the question, just remind the young lady that this is leap year. She will assist him. Mr. J. L. Hopson, of 3908 Fairfax avenue, is a very clever young gentleman. Would there were more like him. Mrs. Franklin, whose nusband conducts a very successful business at 4000 Papin street, was at the ball looking quite pleasing. Mr. J. T. Cole worked hard to make the ball a success. Capt. Bergey Phillips and Hyatt also did good work. Mrs. V. Dondley, Mrs. M. Nixon and Miss Hattie Johnson enjoyed themselves. They were dressed nicely, and their escort evidently enjoyed their company. Mrs. Julia Shipton, of 2520 North Taylor avenue, Mr. and Mrs. W. Sprin- Advertising Medium in the ger, of 4010 Finney avenue, and the Misses Nellle and Viola Hyatt, were among the many others. The monthly meeting of the City Federation of Colored Women's clubs, at St Paul's A. M. E. church, last Monday evening, the 11th, was very interesting, and was well attended. Mrs. M. L. Harrison is president of the federation. Reports from various committees showed that the work is being systematically perfected in every detail. The ways and means committee is preparing to give a grand entertainment at the Central Baptist church, April 21. Home committee is vigorously canvassing home accommodations at $1 per day rate. The New Douglass hall will be secured for the grand banquet for the national convention, July 14, while the informal reception will be tendered the national delegates and visitors at Central Baptist church, Monday, July 11. Enthusiasm is now at high pitch in club circles, and the grandest conclave in the annals of the N. A. C. W. is already forecasted. For the Most Popular Lady in the Western States. Winner to Receive a Gold Watch and Chain. Mr. Jas. W. Grant, "The Old Campaigner," received an ovation from a large crowd on his reappearance at the Orpheus Dancing Academy last Friday evening. While he looked pale and showed every evidence of his late illness, still, he went cheerfully into his work with his usual vim and attention to detail. The introduction of his "New Parisiennes," was the recipient of an encore, and "The Orpheus Gillie" grows more popular every week. Both are beautiful dances.

It makes us a lot of hard work this keeping the Russians out of China and the Chinese out of the United States. Diamonds, according to a London dispatch, are increasing in price. This is a good time for newspaper men to unload. Gen. Kuropatkin is said to have a gorgeous uniform in his suit case. The Japs are disposed to give him a new base to fit it on. The people of the United States eat $150,000,000 worth of candy in a year, and there are nearly 5,000 factories making it., with a capital of $38,000,000. Sinking hulks at Port Arthur is holiday sport compared with the work of raising them later, if the experience of the United States with the Maine is any criterion. It takes 338,500,000 world's fair stamps to stock the post offices of the United States, and that is only four stamps a piece in Uncle Sam's family. There is nothing small about a national celebration. China and Korea are an illustration of the fact that to be without an adequate army and navy means that outsiders will force their way into your house and do their fighting there. Peace societies, please notice. The attempt of a Kansas City man, during a fight, to bite off a piece of the cheek of a Kansas City woman cost him several sound teeth and $10 and trimmings in court. Some people cannot appreciate a hard proposition until they are shown. It is asserted that Eugene F. Ware, pension commissoirer, will be the speaker at the convention of American press humorists to be held at St. Louis on May 29. A feature of the occasion will be a pilgrimage to Hannibal, M., the old home of Mark Twain. A Philadelphia belle who was caught in the street and hugged by a negro said after her escape she supposed at first that one of her friends was trying to surprise her. Is that the way the friends of Philadelphia belles usually surprise them in the streets? Harbin, Manchuria, is but three years old. But it is one of the greatest cities of Asia, and has the largest European population of any Asiatic city, containing 60,000 Russians, besides the soldiers, and 40,000 Chinese. It will be the great flour milling city of that region. An eastern banker, who had business dealings with the dethroned cotton king, testified that he loaned Sully $700,000 the first time he ever saw him. The wonder is that "the talent" should waste time and energy cracking safes and things while bankers are so dead easy. The Kansas supreme court says the Bible may be read in the public schools in the state, notwithstanding the fact that the Nebraska supreme court has ruled the Bible out of the public schools in that state. But then there would be no ginger in the law if the decisions were all alike. Radium will have to do a good many things to keep up with the doctors' expectations of it. It is to cure cancer, baldness, insomnia and stuttering, turn negroes white, destroy injurious germs and foster begignant ones, and is constantly disclosing new potencies of the most diverse and unexpected character. Paul Morton, second vice president of the Atchison, Tosseka & Santa Fe railway, and one of the strongest railroad men in the west, declares a belief that pooling will soon be legalized and that eventually all the lines of the country will be under one management, leading to final ownership and operation by the government. A Tokio correspondent of the London Post says Japan will be able to fight a year and a half without borrowing, on a basis of 530,000,000 yen yearly for war expenses. As the Japanase first private gets about 75 cents a month, and a second about 40 cents, and their food is a handful of rice and some dried fish, the above estimate seems adequate. Thomas A. Edison, though working 18 to 20 hours a day and seldom getting a "day off," is said to retain the youthful appearance the public is familiar with in his photographs, which have a remarkably boyish look. Edison is not an old man, but he is 57 and from the time he sold papers on the streets as a newsboy he has put in more hours of hard, exacting mind-wearing work than most men who live to be 90. Moreover he has never made it a practice to take physical exercise or to seek fresh air. The fate of London, in the event of war, rests in the hands of five men. A cottage situated on the Thames marshes is the key to the situation of the submarine mines which would protect the metropolis in the event of a naval reverse. By means of an electric switchboard, the workings or which is only known to these men, a powerful fleet could be sunk in ten minutes. The Russian government tried to bribe one of the men with $500,000 some years back to give them the secret, but without effect. And these men are day laborers. TARGET PRACTICE COSTS MANY LIVES Horrible Accident in After Turret of Battleship Missouri FOUR OFFICERS ARE DEAD Son of Capt. Gridley of the Olympics Included in List of Casualties —Missouri Was at Target Practice. Washington, April 14.—The most serious accident that has occurred in the American navy since the blowing up of the Maine in Havana harbor, in 1898, happened Wednesday on the magnificent battleship Missouri, while she was engaged in target practice at a range about 15 miles distant from the naval station at Pensacola. News of the disaster was conveyed to the commandant at Pensacola by wireless telegraph from the Missouri, and thence by him transmitted to Washington, while the big ship was creeping back to port with the dead lying on her deck. The account which reached Washington of the accident was contained in the following official dispatch: "Pensacola, Fla., April 13. "Secretary Navy, Washington: "The following wireless message just received: 'Accident in after turret of Missouri at 10:50 this morning caused death of nine men and Lieut. W. C. Davidson, Ensign E. A. Weichart, Second Lieut. J. P. V. Gridley, Midshipmen W. E. T. Newman and T. T. Ward, Jr. The Missouri is coming in.' (Signed.) "BARKER." The receipt of this message caused consternation at the department. Secretary Moody conveyed it to the President at the White House, and officers and clerks at the department were soon engaged in making out dispatches to the relatives and friends of the officers who were killed, so that they might not have to receive their first news from the morning newspapers. The Missouri is the very latest of the big battleships to go in commission. The flag was hoisted on her in December last at Norfolk by Capt. Cowles, brother-in-law of President Roosevelt. She collided with the Illinois off Pen-sacola a few weeks ago, and has had very little firing with her big guns, in fact, that nine or ten rounds which had been fired from each big gun was in the course of official trials, and she is now going through her first regular target practice. TWENTY-NINE WERE KILLED. Later Reports Increases Number of Dend Seamen. Pensacola, Fla., April 14.—By the explosion of 2,000 pounds of powder in the after 12-inch turret and the handling room of the battleship Missouri, Capt. William S. Cowles commanding, 29 men were instantly killed and five injured, two of whom will die. The Missouri was on the target range with the Texas and Brooklyn at practice about noon, when a charge of powder in the 12-inch left-hand gun ignited from gases, exploded, and dropping below ignited four charges of powder in the handling room, and all exploded. Only one man of the entire turret and handling crew survives. But for the prompt and efficient action of Capt. Cowles in flooding the handling room and magazine with water, one of the magazines would have exploded, and the ship would have been destroyed. The navy department Wednesday night furnished the following statement, giving a more complete list of dead: Harry W. Franks, coxswain, Buffalo, N. Y. John W. Cole, ordinary seaman, Dakota, Tex. Joseph Gedris, ordinary seaman, Grand Rapids, Mich. Ralph H. Allison, seaman, Philadelphia, Pa. James C. Nunn, ordinary seaman, Bryan, Tex. J. Carlton Hardy, apprentice second class, Palmyra, N. Y. Paul R. Oastler, apprentice second class, Hope, Ark. Frank T. Rowlands, electrician second class, St. Louis, Mo. John M. Roche, landsman, New York. Robert C. Tobin, ordinary seaman, Roscoe, Pa.

BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. TRADE-MARK. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 of the late Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every number of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good.

Circles. ‘Washington, April 14—The news ot ‘the death of Admiral Makaroff caused ‘a profound sensation in naval and mil- tary circles, for he was probably bet- ter known than any other Russian na- val officer. This was because of the fact that he had visited the United States in 1896-97, and also commanded ‘the Russian north Pacifle squadron, SMe tenoennme A Nt J | PROJECTED: RAILWAYS! oe Bas eR > nk eaee i aE [ay RRR A ham hee Aes 4 Sees i EKING «hen eee : in “f ee <f ile SEA OF g aQO sexnsanenrr see gi inswon Se eeaea ; GUER OF EEN = APAN COs “iC As-Ls on ENP Sr _aweamane Se aNacoun.

The general opinion is that Makaroff was an officer of sigular ability as a sailor, being thoroughly scientific in his meth- ods, of more than usual intelligence, and of physical presence which gave him a splendid power of command. In the matter of personal bravery he had no superior. CREATES PROFOUND IMPRESSION, Officers Speak of Catastrophe With Deepest Emotion. St. Petersburg, April 14—The Pe- tropavlovsk disaster has created a pro- found impression in official, naval ané military circles, where the feeling is one of consternation. The officers speah of the catastrophe with the deepest emotion. The imperial family an¢ court were also deeply moved. The news has only been circulated among the high and middle classes, and as yet has not reached the populace. Conse- quently there were no scenes in the streets this evening, and no special edi- tions of the newspapers were issued. HAS BEEN A TERRIBLE BLOW. Succession of Tragedies Creates Con- aternation in St. Petersburs. St. Petersburg, April 14—The awful disaster to the battleship Petropavlovsk at Port Arthur, with the loss of al- most her entire crew of over 600 mer and the death of Vice-Admiral Maka- roff, has been a terrible blow. tr would have fallen less heavily if the ship and the commander-in-chief of the fleet had been lost in battle, but to be the result of another accident, follow- ing upon the heels of a succession of tragedies, of which the Port Arthur fleet had been victim, has created some- thing’ like consternation. “Reverses we can endure,” said & prominent Russian, “but to have the Petropavlovsk meet the fate of the Yenesei and the Boyarin is heartbreak- ing.” Besides, it has just become known that the battleship Poltava several weeks ago had a hole rammed in her by the battleship Sevastopol, while the latter was maneuvering in the harbor of Port Arthur. ‘The day has been one of intense ex- citement in St. Petersburg. The first inkling of the catastrophe leaked out on the receipt of a telegram by Grand Duke Viadimir from his son, Grand Duke Boris, announcing the loss of the Petropavlovsk and the wounding of Grand Duke Cyril, who was first. off cer. The Grand:Duchess Viadimir was ‘almost frantic on the receipt of the telegram, being convinced that the message was only 2 precurser of worse news, as {twas signed by Grand Duke Boris, instead of by the aide to Grané Duke Cyril.

It is ponsible that fuller detatis will add to the news of the disaster avhich resulted from a: battle be- tween the Russian squadron under Makaroff and the Japanese fleet un- ater Togo, off the harbor of Port Ar- thur, about daylight Wednesday morning. ‘The news of what transpired is very meager, but the killing of Ad- aniral Makaroff and the loss of the ‘Dattleship with nearly all of its of- ficers and men is confirmed offl- cially. After the receipt of the news of Makaroft’s death the military censor committee ealled an extraordinary session to pass upon the official dispatches, which will probably be given out soon. ‘A requiem mass for the repose of the souls of Vice-Admiral Makaroff cand the officers and the crew of the Petropavlovsk has been announced to take place im the Admiralty chureh ‘Thursday.

Our squadron was under Golden Hill. The Japanese squadron was approaching. Vice-Admiral Makaroff evidently was Jost. Grand Duke Cyril was saved. He 1s slightly injured. Capt, Jakovleff was saved, though severely injured, as were five officers and 32 men, all more or less injured, ‘phe enemy's fleét has disappeared. Rear-Admiral Prince Ouktomsky has assumed command of the fleet.” ‘The following dispatch to the czar bas been received from Viceroy Alex- feff: “Mukden, April 13.—A telegram has just been ‘received from Lieut,-Gen. Stoessel, commander of the military forces at Port Arthur. I regret to re- port to your majesty that the Pacific fiect lias suffered irreparable loss by the death of its brave and capable com- mander, who was lost, together with the Petropavloysk.” _ Another dispatch from Viceroy Alex- left to the evar says: “According to reports from the com- mandant at Port Arthur, the battle ships and cruisers went out to meet the enemy, but in consequence of the ene- my receiving reinforments, making his total strength 30 vessels, our squad- ron returned to the roadstead, where- upon the Petropavloysk struck a mine, ‘resulting in ber destruction, Grand | Missouri State Gleanings: eorsenasnnssensscassaccsanssensseassanssenssatens Stestresstsssescenseseassristesscresstessessst GEN. CRONJE IN ST. LOUIS.|MISSOURI CROP BULLE is Accumpanied by 450 Soldiers and | Severe Weather Has Greatly Re Gen. Cronje, hero of the Boer war, nas arrived in St. Louis, in company with 450 soldiers who saw much hard Service in the recent South African war. Gen. Cronje and his soldiers will take part in the reproduction of the Boer war, to be given on the Pike at the World’s fair. After the fair they will go to Mexico, where they will set- ‘lo and take up homesteads. Gen. Gronje is the hero of Magers- fontaine and Paardeburg. At the lat- ter place he surrendered himself and force to the British after an extended siege'and a constant bombardment lasting from, February 20 to February 27, 1900. When his force marched out of the fortifications it was learned that he had been for months evading and Jeploying an army of 25,000 men with a force of less than 5,000. At no time during the campaign were the odds less than five to one against his army. He is regarded by many as the most finished exponent of the Boer war methods. THEY WILL EAT DOG es Are Fattening Canines for | m Feant, to Which the Humane ‘Seutuey th iNet Pavited, Joy—savage, unrestrained — joy— reigns supreme at the Igorrote reserva- tion at the St. Louis World’s fair A stranger would be at a loss to ac- count for all this merriment, but not so the Igorrotes. They are happy, and they know why. After weeks of en- forced fasting from puppy steaks and dog soup, the famished barbarians are to be regaled with their cherished ylands. Six dogs have been obtained (where or how is not known), and their demise is contingent upon how soon the unfortunate canines shall have deen sufficiently fattened for the feast. ‘When the Igorrotes first came to St. Loujs, they requested dogs from the oundmaster. That gentleman was willing that they should have their fa- vorite meat, but the humane society was not; so there was weeping and waiing at the Igorrote reservation, the Inhabitants of which considered it al- most impossible to maintain good health without dog, and, being igno- rant of the sausage that every butcher keeps, they were indeed in a dilemma. However, the Igorrotes discovered that they were outside the city limits, and, therefore, beyond reach of the humane society. So they will eat dog. olik gs ciaae ae Saewes | Perhaps less than a dozen of the great throng which attended the Louis- iana Purchase ball at the Jefferson ho- tel by the Daughters of the Confed- eracy, in St. Louis, recently, were aware that a magnificent diamond necklace worn by Mrs. David R. Fran- cis, wife of the president of the ex- position, was lost. The proprietor of the hotel, Mr. Lyman T. Hay, was hastily summoned as soon as the logs was known. .A moment later a ser- geent of police appeared on the scene. ‘There was an immediate and secretive search, and just as it was finally de- termined that the necklace had been stolen, it was found lying on the floor, where Mrs, Francis had dropped it. The necklace was worth $10,000. Southern Methodists at Kirkwood. Members of the St. Louis district conference, M. B. church, south, con- vened at Kirkwood under the presi- dency of Rev. Dr. T. E.

She is owned by Henry Eberhardt, who runs a hair dressing establishment in the savings bank block at the corner of Atlantic avenue and Clinton street. She rejoices in the simple name of "Polly" and never occupies a cage, except at night. All day long Polly can be seen on an open perch through the big plate glass window on Clinton street. In the summer time Polly flies just outside the window when a thunder storm comes up and greatly enjoys a shower bath. Polly, although nine years old, has never made an attempt to escape, and probably never will. Whenever she sees a man in the shop eating she follows him around and teases him to the best of her ability. She likes candy, is fond of coffee and will pick a meat bone clean. If she sees a man take a chew of tobacco, she wants a little, too, turning a bit of plug around in her bill as she would a nut. "Polly" is a pugnacious bird if an animal seeks close acquaintance. Mr. Eberhardt once owned a bull terrier who attempted too great familiarity one day. Polly made a rush and slit the dog's nose from top to bottom with her beai.: His dogship never ventured near her again. This parrot whistles and talks and slings a little in Spanish. She imitates the crying and laughing of children. In addition she has a sizable vocabulary, saying "Hello Henry!" (her owner's name) and "Hello Doctor!" with startling distinctness. She rolls on her back and does such odd stunts as picking among the hairs of Mr. Eberhardt's head, as if they THIS PARROT CHEWS TOBACCO. were her own feathers. Polly has never seen a slick coat. Another parrot, equally remarkable in its way is "Hopkins," owned by Mr. Williams, who keeps a furnishing goods store at 100 Court street. He is called "Hoppy" for short and is 17 years old. He eats potatoes, bread and butter and sunflower seeds regularly and has walnuts and cranberries for delicacies. He does not like the water to drink, and bathes only under compulsion. Some years ago he was fill, but was brought around with a mixture of whisky and paragoric. The whisky, by the way, made him so slippy that he kept falling off his perch. "Hopkins" does not like small boys and if he sees them coming will hustle into his cage as if it was a cyclone cellar. While liking his wire prison he looks forward to the hour when the gas is lighted, for then he is allowed to walk along one of the glass showcases. If the clerks delay in taking him out he will yell "Hurry up, be quick." "Peek-a-boo," "Pussy cat" and "Good-bye" are among the plainest words he repeats. Whenever he hears the fire engines tearing by he will cock up his head and inquire "What's that?" He also repeats the words "bad, naughty boy" occasionally, particularly when he has done some piece of mischief. A knocking or any strange noise causes him to screech "pussy cat." It takes him about a year to learn a new word. He does not hesitate to attack a cat or dog coming near his cage, but is rather afraid of a United States flag; if waved in close proximity, although there is red silk on the screen around his cage.—Brooklyn Eagle. Caught at It. Tommy—Smokin' cigarettes is dead sure to hurt her. Jimmy—G'on! Where did yer git dat notion? "From pop." "Ah! he wuz jist stringin' yer." "No. he wuzn't stringin' me; he wuz strapin' me. Dat's how I know it hurts." ~ Catholic Standard. KOREA'S LITTLE EMPEROR. He Has But Little to Say About the Government or the Future of His Country. The little emperor of Korea is neither so powerful as the czar, on one side of him, nor so wise as the mikado of Japan, on the other side. His country is little, so when his big and powerful neighbors on either begin to fight each other, as they are doing now, he is like a grain of wheat between milestones. A look at the map will show how easy it is for the soldiers of his neighbors to tramp across his small country. And this is what they are doing, without feeling badly about doing it. Surely the little emperor is in a peek of trouble. He might as well be a plain, everyday American as an emperor, because as an emperor he is no more able to stop them than if he were an American. When we think of an empire we think of a great, powerful nation like Germany, and not a little, weak land like Korea, but Li Hi, Li Hsi, Li Houl, Yi Hieung, Ti Houl, or whatever the emperor's real name is, likes to think of his little country as an empire. No one needs to bother about learning to pronounce any of these names, because so little is known about his true name in this country that all of them might be wrong. According to the New York Tribune there are many queer things about this ruler, who is said to those who have seen him to be short and stout and to look as if he were not well. They say he always looks good natured, but does not look as if he knew a great deal. When persons are allowed to see him they always see him alone, in the midst of a big room, and that makes him seem smaller still. Like the midako, he asks many questions and knows a great deal for a man THE EMPEROR OF KOREA. who has never been further than 15 miles beyond the walls of his capital, Seoul. In those eastern countries, like China and Korea, to be ruler means to be shut up in a palace, seidom leaving it, and when a ruler does go outside it is only on some great and important journey, when all the business in the streets must stop and everybody get out of the way. Only once has the emperor of Korea traveled beyond the walls of Seoul. That time he visited the graves of some ancestors 15 miles away. One would think that a ruler could leave his palace whenever he wished to, but it is not always so, as we have seen. Only five times a year does the ruler of Korea go outside his palace prison. Then he goes through the main street of Seoul to visit the temple. The emperor does not even know the streets of his capital. He thinks he does. On the days he goes through the main street it looks like a nice wide street. That is because it has been cleaned up for his coming. On other days it is crowded on either side with street pedlers and their goods. He does not know that all the other streets are narrow and dirty. As one would think, being emperor of Korea is not all fun. He became ruler when he was 12 years old. Then, however, he became only a king, for that was what the rulers of Korea were called at that time, which was 1864. He was not the son of the king who had died and whose place he was taking. The old king had no sons, so they took this boy, who was his nephew. Now, boys, of course, are not able to rule countries themselves, so they did just as they did in Spain when the present king was a small boy—chose some one to rule for him until he should be old enough to do it for himself. In Spain, it will be remembered, the boy's mother was what is called the regent. In Korea it was the boy's father. Tai Wen Kin was his name. He was said to be a wicked old regent. He tried to drive the foreigners out of the country, and would not stop until some other nations made him. Little can be told about the king as a boy because little is known about him. In course of time he became really king, but he had to pay money to China now and then, as China claimed to have charge of Korea. Afraid that bad men might want to hunt him as they did his wife, whom they killed, he sleeps in the daytime and is awake at night. Once he was obliged to run away from the palace and hide for safety. It was partly about Korga that Japan went to war with China in 1895, and beat her. Then the little king would no longer pay money to China, and he told the other countries of the world that his country was an empire and he an emperor. It is clear that the proverb "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown" would tell how the emperor of Korea feels. The Tattooers of Samoa. Tattooing is largely practiced by the natives of Samoa. Those who follow the art as a trade have an effective way of securing their pay. The decoration extends from the waist to the knees, no other part of the body being marked. In the small of the back the design shades off to a point which is never finished by the tattooer till his bill has been paid. As the incomplete design is public evidence of the wearer's indebtedness, the artist seldom has to wait long for his money. HOUSEHOLD THE BEST BEAUTY DOCTOR What a Mother Can Do to Make Her Children Attractive in the Highest Sense. Every mother is the best beauty-doctor to her own child. We have met mothers who spent a great deal of time beautifying their children's garments, to the detriment of what is real beautifying—the beautifying of the soul—forgetting that "the eyes are the windows of the soul," and beauty is as beauty does. It is as natural for a little child to wish to be beautiful as it is for a flower to turn to the sun. Watch your wee daughter some time, when she is unconscious of your presence, before a mirror. See how she turns this way and that, smooths out a crease, or pats a ribbon, all the while smiling at the reflection, as she stands there, and finally turning away with the smile lingering in her eyes and at the corners of her mouth—for she has learned that a smiling face is more beautiful that one that trowns. And your boy? Have you ever watched him unobserved as he adjusts his collar and tie before the mirror? At first there are grimaces reflected in the glass, for the little lad finds it as difficult as does his father at times to adjust the refractory collar button. But when it is adjusted and the collar and tie are in place, watch your boy straighten and throw back his head fearlessly, as though he felt it a fine thing to turn and face the world with shoulders back and face erect. "I want to be beautiful like mamma," cried a seven-year-old girl in our hearing. "And what makes your mother beautiful—her fine clothes?" we asked, as our eyes wandered to the perfectly-gowned young mother in the next room. "Why, no. She looks just as nice in her old dress as she does in her new one. It's 'cause she's always so kind and sweet to everybody, and it shows right in her face," was the answer. The little maid had put the matter in a nutshell. Teach your children that beautiful thoughts and beautiful deeds stand for the highest and best in the art of real beautifying, remembering always that example is better than precept, and that children are apt imitators—Dew Drops. A FAD WORTHY OF PRAISE. The Dowry Chest, Filled with Many Useful Things, a New Idea for Engaged Girls. Quite the newest idea for engaged girls is the wedding chest, says a writer in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and even girls who are not engaged are the secret possessors of this sentimental and, at the same time, sensible article. The wedding chest may be a fine new trunk, of the latest style, or, it may be a plain wooden affair, prettily covered and lined with flowered chintz. The idea is to fill the chest with pretty things to wear, or for the furnishing and decoration of a home. One girl is A DOWRY CHEST. lilling hers with dainty clothing, which she is making herself; another is buying ornaments and nicknacks from time to time, and filling her chest with them. Not only things to wear, such as gloves, lingerie and dainty hosiery, but pieces of lace, tapestry squares for covering sofa pillows, handsome table covers, are receiving the attention of a bonnie Scotch maiden. Another is making a fine collection of table linen—napkins, mats, centerpieces and so on. Pretty bits of china and bric-a-brac go in the chest of another maiden. Thus the girls are slowly collecting pretty things, and saving them for use in their homes. As a rule, their friends know of the chests, and take pleasure in helping to fill them, although some of the girls like to feel that everything was bought with their own money. Sun Bath for Rheumatism. Try a sun bath for rheumatism. Try a wet towel to the back of the neck when sleepless. Try swallowing saliva when troubled with sour stomach. Try buttermilk for removal of freckles, tan and butternut stains. Try taking your cod liver oil in tomato sauce, if you want to make it palatable. Try a hot flannel over the seat of neuralgic pain, and reaw it frequently. Try a cloth wrung out from cold water put about the neck at night for some throat. Try walking with your hands behind you, if you find yourself becoming bent forward. Try planting sunflowers in your garden if compelled to live in a malarial neighborhood. A Hint for the Cook. A cucumber sliced into tomato soup while boiling will add a delicious flavor. It should be skimmed out just before serving. 2. And after six days Jesus taketh with Him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transigued before them. 3. And His仁膋 became shining exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. 4. And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus. 5. And Peter answered and said to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here; and us make three tabernacles: one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. And not what to say; for they were sore afraid. 7. And there was a cloud that overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son; hear . . . Him. 8. And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves. 9. And as they came down from the mountain, they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of Man were risen from the dead. 10. And they kept that saying . . . with themselves, questioning one with another what the tiring from the dead should mean. 11. And they asked Him, saying: Why say the scribes that Elias must first come? Elias verily cometh first, and restore all things that he is written of the Son of Man, that he Must suffer many things, and be set at nought. 13. But I say unto you: That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him. 14.

He perhaps counts fractions of a day; in any case the meaning is plain—about a week after the plain talk Jesus had with his disciples about his death. "Peter, and James, and John." The three who were nearest to Him in heart and purpose. "A high mountain:" Some eminence in the foothills of Mt. Hermon. "He was transfigured before them:" Changed in appearance. What the change was we can gather only from the impression made upon the disciples. Matthew speaks of the marvelous radiance of Jesus' face. It is something which cannot be explained. We may think of it as the Divine nature shining out through the human body at one of the crises of the Saviour's life. "Elijah with Moses:" The latter representing the law and the former the prophets. "They were talking with Jesus;" Luke says they were talking "of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. Luke tells us that He went up into the mountain to pray. "And as He was praying, the fashion of His countenance was altered." We shall not do the situation justice unless we realize what the last few weeks had meant to Jesus. He was in a sense an exile; He had given up hope of being able to win men in any numbers by the "good tidings" He had come to bring. He saw that unless He gave up the work and kept away from His people, they would not rest till they had taken His life. It was a time of mental struggle for Jesus, and of the deepest perplexity for the disciples. "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us," etc. It was a most wonderful experience: was it to last? Were the heavenly visitors to stay? At any rate here it was, night upon the mountainside, with no shelter. Without stopping to think, Peter suggested the booths. "For he knew not what to answer:" This is Mark's apology for or explanation of Peter's ill-considered words. "A voice . . . . This is my beloved Son: hear ye Him:" The whole scene, ending with this voice gave the faith of the poor trusting yet perplexed disciples the confirmation it needed. One of their great puzzles was that Jesus said one thing about the Messiah and the prophets seemed to say another. From this time on there was to them but one authority—Jesus himself. The voice said, "Hear ye Him." "Should tell no man:" Till after the resurrection when it would not be misunderstood. Jesus was constantly on his guard against popular misunderstanding. "Is it written of the Son of Man:" Jesus reminded the disciples that not all the prophets had thought of the coming Delliverer as the sort of Messiah popularly expected; some of them had said "that He should suffer many things and be set at naught." Read the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah, "Even as it is written of him (Elijah);" Not prediction but history (I. Kings 19). Jesus' interpretation of the Elijah prophecy was not the same as that of the disciples, who thought it was fulfilled in the vision they had just seen. He wanted to show them that suffering and persecution had been the lot of the world's prophets, so points out likenesses between the treatment of Elijah, John and himself. Figs and Thistles. The biggest interest comes from what we give away. You cannot do God's work with the devil's wages. There are many kinds of Christians, but only one Christ. There can be no living Christianity without a living Christ. The man who is winking at iniquity to-day will be working with it to-morrow.

At a dinner party one evening he writened in his chair for over an hour waiting for a chance to introduce his story, but no opportunity presented itself. Finally he slipped a coin into the hand of a waiter and whispered: "When you leave the room, you am from the door." The waiter slammed the door as directed, and the man sprang to his feet, with the exclamation: "What's that noise—a gun?" "Oh, no," returned his host, "it was only the door." "Ah, I see.

Men Do Well to Look Out for the Small Drains on Their Moral Capital. How soon a leakage shows in a building, a ship, or a bank account! Recently, writes A. A. Benfield, in the Baptist Union, I was in a building which but a few months ago was a model of beauty, but now its beauty is marred by a leakage. I have looked upon the hull of a ship rising above the water's edge. That once majestic vessel is a useless wreck; it has sprung a leak. That man who but a short time ago had a good business and a large bank account is now a failure. There has been a leakage. He trusted his business to clerks. He failed to invoice his stock and balance his accounts, and during that time there has been a constant leakage, and a consequent failure. Now the foregoing is only preliminary to what I wish to say. There is often a leakage in character. That young man who began life with such promise, such a stock of life's capital, character, honor, honesty and manhood, is now a failure. He began well, what did hinder him? There has been a leakage in character. Almost imperceptibly, he has become less honest, and less truthful. He has covered up many things which the light would have destroyed. They have smouldered in the life until they have caused ruin and failure. He did not lose all his life's capital in a day, but by a steady leakage all has gone. A boy begins by deceiving his mother and ends by robbing a bank. At first he may only cheat a companion, but in the end he cheats himself and God. At the beginning he loses honor, at last he loses his soul. There are many ways in which this leakage is started. He may read a bad book, associate with an evil companion, spend his days in leniness, form a useless habit, have a greed for money and notoriety, or mock at sacred things. Each and any of these will begin the downward course and finally plunge the life into disaster. Life is a serious business and men do well to look out for the leaks in its capital. Ruin comes slowly but surely when the leakage is allowed to commence and continue. Never allow the leak to start, but if it has started, stop it before it gets beyond remedy. JUDGED BY THEIR FRUITS. The Test of Christianity Is That It Makes Men and Women Better and Purer. There was a chief of a tribe in South Africa who, heathen as he was, proved to be a good friend of Christianity, for he used to say to those of the tribe who professed to be converted to the new faith: "If you become better men and women by becoming Christians, you may remain so; if not, I won't let you be Christians at all." That is the test, after all is said, and it is the test Christianity itself seeks, says the Northwestern Christian Advocate. It wants to be judged by its fruits. Not only its converts but the institutions it creates and fosters, as well as the civilization it develops, are to be judged by their respective fruits. It is true, of course, that the real fruit is not always at once apparent. Christianity takes a man in the midst of his sin. It does not change the inner life in a moment. The ideals, the purposes and aims are all changed. A new heart is given to the man who is truly converted. But it takes time to disclose the new fruit of that life in all its perfection and beauty. So it is with a civilization. It may be Christian in its spirit, but there is much to strive against, by reason of the old ideals and the men and women who will not yield to the new life. But, when all is said, Christianity has its distinctive fruit, and where that is not revealed within a reasonable time it may be accepted as the truth that the real thing is wanting. "By their fruits ye shall know them." Every Christian family ought to be, as it were, a little church, consecrated to Christ, and wholly influenced and governed by His rules. And family education and order are some of the chief means of grace. If these fall, all other means are likely to prove ineffectual.—Jonathan Edwards. "We are indebted to John Adams for our national motto, "E Pluribus Urum." While he was minister to England, Sir John Prestwick suggested it to Mr. Adams as a good motto to indicate the union of the colonies. It was submitted to congress, and adopted by act of congress, June, 1782. The eagle in its beak bears a ribbon on which is the motto. In the early days of its use the eagle bore also in its talons a bundle of 13 arrows; but when, in 1841, a new seal was made to take the place of the old one, which had become worn, only six arrows were placed in the talons. Whether this change was ordered by law or not is not known. The old Latin motto was in use in England as far back as 1730 on the Gentleman's Magazine.-St. Nicholas. Marriage in India. The result of Mrs. F. A. Steel's personal observation is that marriages in India are singularly happy. There are fewer cases of unkindness and violence than in Great Britain. The dowry system, she avers, is a great protection to the wife. Every bride takes her husband a dowry, which is a kind of marriage settlement against unkindness. If she is badly treated and thus compelled to go back to her father's house, the husband has to return her dowry; probably he has spent it, and, as it is not often convenient for him to refund the money, he takes care to treat his wife well. "I think that a similar system here would be a good thing," says the lady, frankly.—Chicago Inter Ocean. The Venus de Medici. The Venus de Medicis has long ranked as a canon of female beauty; but from a physiological standpoint she is not "a perfect type of perfect womanhood." At any rate, Prof. Chadwick does not think that she is, for he points out that the narrow chest indicates unrobust lungs, that the shoulders are not well braced up, that the cranium and face show no trace of mental vigor, that her limbs show want of muscular training, and that, as a type of what a mother and mistress of a home should be, she is contemptible. After all, the Greek conception was not of womanhood, but rather, to them, the good enough one of a goddess.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Desperate. "What," asked the druggist, "do you intend to do with this chloroform?" "Oh," said the tired-looking man, "I want to get a little sleep to-night.

"But surely you don't intend to risk that child's life by giving it—" "No," he interrupted, "I'm going to take the stuff myself, and then let the kid do its worst."—Chicago Record. A Good Guess. "I'm opposed to horse racing. I think the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals should step in and put a stop to it." "Well, old man, I'm sorry for you. That's all I can say." "Sorry for me? What do you mean?" "Oh, of course you had your money on the wrong horse."—Cleveland Leader. The Mexican government sent a commission of archaeologists to investigate certain alleged Chinese characters recently discovered on a monument near Hermosillo, and they have announced that there can be no question that the characters are Chinese and that they must have been there many centuries.-Chicago Chronicle.

"Annabel!" called a Manchester mother over the banisters, as she heard the front door close. Yes, mmaana," replied a sweet, girlish smile. Annabel Googan slowly framed herself in the darkness of the staircase, relates London Tit-Bits. "Was that Mr. Tinberry, Annabel?" "It was, mamma." "Do you know it is 20 minutes past 11?" came in cold tones from the wrapper figure in the upper hall. Mamma, we hadn't the slightest idea it was so hard, and the young girl, earnestly "You see," she continued, "Mr. Tinberry has been telling me about China and Japan. He said everybody ought to know about them, and it was so interesting, we never thought how late it was getting. Do you know, mamma," added the sweet girl, as she reached the landing, "that in China they—" "Did Mr. Tinberry draw a map of China on your face, Annabel?" asked Mrs. Googan, sternly. "What mamma?" asked the girl in startled tones. The young girl rushed to a mirror and saw with horror-stricken glance that the left side of her face was streaked and stained with ink. "Heaven and earth!" she screamed; "mountain and earth" must he laughed in his wild pocket!" and with a shriek of horror the beautiful girl fell fainting to the floor. NOT SUPERLATIVELY POOR. Land That a Poverty-Stricken Man Was Not Bad Enough Off to Want. Bourke Cockran was condemning a certain popular novel, relates the New York Tribune. "This novel," he said, "is as poor and barren as Elmo county land." "Is Elmo county land very poor and barren?" asked one of Mr. Cockran's interlocutors. "Is it?" said he. "Well, I should say it is. Once two strangers rode on horseback through Elmo county, and the barrenness of the land amazed them. Nothing but weeds and rocks everywhere. As they passed a farmhouse they saw an animal in the garden, and they said: "Poor chap! Poor, poverty stricken old fellow!" "The old man overheard them, and called out in a shell-voice called out in a safari voice: "Gents, I hain't so poor an' poverty, stricken as ye think. I don't own none o' this land." A Grateful Young Lady Sullivan, Ark, April 11—Miss Fay Clover, one of our brightest young ladies, is receiving the congratulations of her many friends on her restoration to good health. For a long time she has been ailing and her gratitude for her complete recovery has prompted her to explain how it was accomplished. "Some months ago I found myself in a very serious condition," says Miss Clover. "I had neglected myself till I was forced to give my condition immediate attention. I could not sleep at night, my appetite failed and my kidneys were affected, causing a severe backache and a dull pain in my head. "A friend advised me to give Dodd's Kidney Pills a trial and I bought a box to please her, not thinking that they were ill. I used them and was surprised at the improvement they made in my case. In a short time I was permanently cured. They are a splendid remedy." It Cures While You Walk. Allen's Foot-Ease is a certain cure for hot, sweating, callus, and swollen, aching feet.

Miss Marjory Hampton, 2016 Third Avenue, New York City, writes: "Peruna is a fine medicine to take any season of the year. Taken in the spring it tones up the system and acts as a tonic, strengthening me more than a vacation. In the fall and winter I have found that it cures colds and catarrh and also find that it is invaluable to keep the bowels regular, acting as a gentle stimulant on the system. In fact, I consider it a whole medicine chest."—Miss Marjory Hampton. Blood Impurities of Springtime- Cause, Prevention and Cure. Dr. Hartman's medical lectures are eagerly scanned by many thousand readers. One of the most timely and interesting lectures he ever delivered was his recent lecture on the blood impurities of spring. The doctor said in substance that every spring the blood is loaded with the efface accumulations of winter, deranging the digestion, producing sluggishness of the liver, overtaxing the kidneys, interfering with the action of the bowels and the proper circulation of the blood. This condition of things produces what is popularly known as spring fever, spring malaria, nervous exhuxation, and good thickening and many other names.

Whichever it is, the cause is the same—effect accumulations in the blood. Nothing is more certain within the whole range of medical science than that a course of Peruna in early springtime will perfectly and effectually prevent or cure this almost universal affection. Everybody feels it in some degree. A great majority are disturbed considerably, while a large percent of the human family are made very misrable by this condition every spring. Peruna will prevent it if taken in time. Peruna will cure it if taken as directed. Peruna is the ideal spring medicine of the medical profession.

The Relation of Colored Y. M. C. A. to the Public and the Public to the Association. Mr. Editor—Every man of Negro blood, even the most depraved, is painfully aware of the unfortunate condition of his race in the United States; nay, in the world even. Every man of Negro blood desires to do something to improve the condition of his race. What shall that something be? "There's the rub." Some say the salvation of the race depends on getting wealth. Some say it depends on getting intelligence. Some say it depends on getting improved industrial conditions. I say it depends on improved moral conditions. The moral Negro has the combined morality of the world at his back. The immoral Negro has the world against him. The charge that we are immoral is the strong point made against us by our enemies. This charge of immorality justifies, in the minds of a majority of the white people of the country, and of the world, the lynchings, the murders, the denials of civil rights, the denials of political rights, the obhorrence and detestation in which the race is held. I do not say the charges are true; but I do say they are made, are believed, and are efficacious in the work of our degradation. Here then is a point upon which all Colored men can agree, and upon which all can work. Each individual can, by taking thought, improve his own morals, and can work for the improvement of the morals of others. One of the most powerful instruments used in modern times for improving the morals of a people is the Young Men's Christian association. The mere existence of such an association is a protest against vice. It seeks to keep young men and women from entering upon a career of vice. It seeks to win those back who have already been upon such a career. It seeks to replace the saloon, the gambling hell, the brothel with innocent places of resort, where the young and the old can be entertained without being degraded. The young men who have established themselves at 2633 Lucas avenue, deserve not commendation only, but the active, social, mental, moral and pecuniary support of every well wisher of the Negro race. On the 18th of this month they give an entertainment for the benefit of the association, at the Odeon. They need funds with which to employ a secretary. They need a gymnasium, they need a library, and etc. All these and more are needed to make the room attractive to the young Colored men and women of the city. You can help them. Will you do it? T. H.

Cole preached an excellent sermon, last Sunday, 11 a. m., at the First Baptist church, to a large audience, which was well received. At 1:30 p. m. he baptized the remaining converts who were not ready at the close of the protracted meeting. The different clubs met to transact regular weekly business directly after the baptizing at First Baptist church—namely, Mary Church Terrell and the Pleasant Workers. The former is a charitable organization, while the purpose of the later is to raise money to pay on the debt of the church. Rev. J. W. Muse preached a very able sermon for Dr. E. C. Cole last Sunday, 7:30, at the First Baptist church. He held the audience spell-bound. The entertainment that was given by the Pleasant Workers' club, last Tuesday night, 12th inst., at the palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Richardson, was indeed a success. Mr. and Mrs. Richardson spared no pains in arranging everything so very neatly and giving special care to the wants of everyone present. The fun and festal lasted until 12 o'clock, and everyone returned home happy. These are the names of some of those who were present: Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Richardson and daughter, Drs. E. C. Cole and J. W. Muse, Madame E. C. Cole, Madame M. A. Giltee, president of club; Mesdames Sada Byrd, E. Jones, Leatha Newcomb, Anna Hammons, Lizzie Harris, L. Smith, Sallie F. Jones, B. C.

Our whole foreign trade last year, exports and imports, was close to $2,500,000,000, the largest ever known. December showed the highest record of monthly exports; cotton sailed away in the air, and stayed there, like Gilroy's kite, its exports during the year amounting to $378,000,000, a figure never reached before, or anything like it. This huge aggregate was not in consequence of more cotton going out, but higher prices for it coming in. In shipments of grain the falling off was quite heavy at the Atlantic and Pacific ports, aggregating in the total 55,000,000 bushels. But in the face of this shipments from the gulf ports increased, not very much, but enough to point a significant moral. In the matter of the export of provisions, cattle, hogs, sheep, etc., New York still holds its own and sends out more than half the total export. The tendency of wheat seems to go more and more to the gulf and through Canada, but the equipment of ships and railway arrangements so far hold the bulk of the provision export trade to this port. The natural current of this traffic is eastward from the plains through certain established centers, and it is not easily shifted. The import of the whole showing is that eternal vigilance is the price of New York's commercial primacy, and if she relaxes at any time it is at her peril—N. Y. Tribune. 2601 Lawton Avenue.
