McHenry Jones, grand master of the Odd Fellows, will join with the order in Thanksgiving service, the sec- Love's Revenge. Last Monday night the Colored citizens of our city turned out in full, in attendance upon the play, "Love's Revenge," produced at the Odeon by the Lyceum club. The dresses of the ladies were very beautiful. The audience was a large one. Everyone was there, and the play was a general success. Victoria S. Clay. At the Odeon, last Monday night.The Palladium Man possessed an excellent opera glass, through which he surveyed Miss Victoria Clay as the Duchess of Nairae. We must acknowledge that Miss Clay was faultless in the rendition of her part. Her acting was excellent. In scanning the audience, our eyes rested upon Miss Fannie Strothers. She was even more beautiful and dazzling than she was at the Douglass hall. Since then we have learned that she has the protection of a most indulgent father. This father, like all others, thinks she is the dearest creature on earth, and she highly appreciates his love. We saw many others there that time and space will hardly allow us to mention. Upon the whole, the play was a general success. Found and Not Thanked. We published for the last three weeks the whereabouts of Mr. Elijah William Hamilton. We found him, and he has since opened a communication with his mother in Indianapolis, Ind., 1010 Hamilton avenue. When we were introduced to him he thanked us not. We guess he thinks that God would pay us. You that want notice in the paper hereafter must pay. We don't intend to take God for security any more. The Colored people want God to go security for too many of them, so don't send in any more matter unless you can get Uncle Sam's notes. SNOOKS. Lovely Children. Little Burle Leona Willis, of 110 South Leonard avenue, is one of the mascots of The Palladium. We have also little Adell Renfro, of 1235 Spruce street, another mascot of The Palladium. Thep little Collier, of 4126 Fairfax avenue, is the light of the west end to The Palladium. Oh, we have them all over the city. Prof. J. McHenry Jones, of West Virginia, national grand master of the Odd Fellows, will join in the thanksgiving service of the order the second Sunday in May. An address will be delivered by Hon. John C. Dancy, recorder of deeds, of Washington, D. C. The sermon will be preached by Rev. J. C. Temple, ex-pastor of Big Zion. --- St. Louis, April 24, 1904. An information bureau will be conducted in this city for the convenience of our Colored visitors. All persons having accommodations should register their address at once. The bureau will guarantee to the visitor every place it recommends. The bureau will refuse to place upon its books the address of any person unable to give reference. Call and register' or address H.

Walter Farrington and James Wright, at 307 Channing avenue, and 308 Leonard, veterinary dentists, clipping, breaking and styling horses. He is an expert at his business. Mr. James Wright is a coal dealer, a most polite gentleman. He takes delight in sending coal to Aunt Hager's children. Yet he has more white customers than our children. Don't fail to call on him. The firm of Farrington & Wright, 307 North Channing avenue. Mr. William Lee, of 409 and 701 North Levee, is conducting two large rooming houses and a buffet for the accommodation of our people. He is a man of business, and success will attend him. Ad. next week. He is a good, jolly fellow. Give him a call. --- ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1904. WILL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT Protect the Negro in Their Religious and Social Meetings? We call especial attention to the condition of things around Jefferson avenue and Pine street. The True Reformers' hall was bought for the accommodation of many of our societies, who meet there day and night. Children's societies also meet there. What we wish to know is why the police department does not drive the lewd women away from those corners. Our wives and children can not approach those corners without coming in contact with some of those women. If these were Colored women, they would have been resting in the workhouse or have been driven out of the city long ago. Since the opening of the Grand Central hotel they have been scattered from that corner; now they make the southeast corner of Pine street their hangout. We ask Mayor Wells, Chief Kiely, Detective Desmond and assistants to please disperse them. We thank Chief Desmond for his kindness in dispersing the young dudes who annoy our school girls. Now if he will kindly lend us his assistance again, we will be greatly obliged. ANNIVERSARY EVENT. Cood Missionary Sermon at Antioch Church.

Lawrence, on behalf of the circle, extended a vote of thanks to Rev. Geo B. Stevens, and the many visitors present, in a few well-chosen and very appropriate remarks. Mrs. M. J. M. McClain, president of St. Paul A. M. E. circle, was introduced, and delivered a short address. The sermon delivered by Rev. Geo B. Stevens, as also the several addresses, and the songs rendered by the choir, deserve special mention. Circles represented: Compton Hill, Central, Berean, First Pilgrim, Ebenezer, Kirkwood, St. James A. M. E., St. Paul A. M. E. and Central Mission band. $102 and Another Subscriber. We called upon Miss H. B. Smith, of 4216 St. Louis avenue, to collect $1.05, recently, and found her to be the possessor of $102, recently given her by an uncle, who was blessed with worldly goods. He had not seen her for 18 years. He was so well pleased that he gave her that magnificent present. Miss Smith banked the $100, and spent $2 on her dear old mother, and paid The Palladium man his bill. Fayette Bradshaw Has Gone Into It Some months ago Mr. Bradshaw subscribed for The Palladium. About a month ago he was married. The Palladium Man called to collect a bill, but as the honeymoon was at its height, he could not be found. Last Saturday we called at the back door, and found the loving couple. The bill was paid, and The Palladium Man departed, feeling that two were company, three a crowd. Items From Brooklyn. Next year the mayor of that village will be a white man. Next year Brooklyn will be governed by a white man, and such as Dr. Arthur will be the cause of it. Two Events You Shouldn't Miss. Hon. David R. Francis pulls off his big show Saturday, April 30, and the Provident hospital pulls its off Friday, April 29, at Douglass hall. The musical entertainment given by the postal clerks, May 6, will be the grandest event of its kind ever attempted by local talent. HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE. FLT In honor of the official visit of the National Grand Master of the Order, Prof. J. Mc. Henry Jones of West Virginia, and Ed. S. Lewis, of Kansas City, Grand Master of Missouri. Special invitation has been extended to St. Louis Patriarchie to lead the Grand March. General Admission 35c. Children, under 12 years, 20c. GENERAL ARRANGEMENT COMMITTEE—W. L. Cox, Chairman; J. D. Buchanan, Secretary; D. F. Wells, Treasurer. G. E. TEMPLE, Master of Ceremonies. CAPT. A. TURNER'S FIRST REGIMENTAL BAND has been engaged to render sweet strains during the entire evening. Gentleman Who Conducted Barber Shop 1826 Morgan. We call special attention to Mr. A. Donahue, of 1526 Morgan street. We knew him before he lost his sight. He has been blind for over two years. Mr. Donahue is a worthy gentleman, and although blind, he and his amiable wife are conducting a barber shop. We that are blessed with out five senses should feel it our duty to assist this gentleman. Now, if you want to help him, go there at least once a week from your regular barber and get shaved. We will try and do our part. You can buy a paper from him, the St. Louis Palladium, which will not net him $2½ on every Palladium that he sells. Remember, gentlemen and ladies, we have get our sight, but we can not tell how long, so help him. He has lost one of the most important senses that men and women possess, that of sight. Remember, 1526 Morgan street. Notice to Post Office Department in D. C. We understand that the postmaster, Dr. Arthur, of Brooklyn, Ill., has too many irons in the fire. Some night when he is deeply interested in some crap game he might accidentally use some of the government's money, and will turn up short. Then the public will say that it was the Negroes, and not the dive, that was the cause of it. No man can be trusted with a governmental position who is one of the common herd. We have about twenty subscribers in that village, so the doctor might stop some of The Palladiums that expose his double dealings. THREW SNOWBALLS. Caused the Death of Mr. Robert D. Berr. Frederick Guiguisse shot into a crowd of young men who were snowballing him. We are sorry indeed that such should happen; yet it is an undeniable fact that young white boys and men take delight in snowballing Negro men and women, and then say it is fun. Some years ago the law was very strict on snowballing, but of late years things have been running loose in that line. Thursday evening another catastrophe occurred, where a boy threw a snowball and put out a man's eye. If persons would attend to their own business, we would all be better off. A New Agent. Young Harry Suthland, of1615 Lucas avenue, is a young boy who will make a live agent for The Palladium. He sold 35 copies of The Palladium last week. Now, gentlemen, help this young boy; he is only 12 years of age. NOTICE. We would like to know the whereabouts of Mrs. Charity Mitchell. We have in our care an important letter for her. It is from the United States senate. Call. Pickett's Headache Powders give instant relief. 2601 Lawton avenue. $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents. A. ECHOES FROM THE RACE. As a race, it is our indispensable duty to foster every institution that has been promoted or is being promoted by the Colored man for the elevation of the race in physical, moral, intellectual and spiritual advancement A person may be of good morals, his face fair, hair straight, and his eyes blue, and yet if it could be traced back and found that his grandparents were Negroes, he would be regarded as a "Nigger" and excluded from the circle of the white man. We don't need to push ourselves on the white man for recognition, but let our attention be called solely to the amelioration of the Negro's condition, and "stay in our own back (black) yard," regardless of the social recognition, and we will command the respect of the world. There is too much of this classing all of the Negroes with the most deprived Negro men. 2601 Lawton Avenue. It is no use to complain about good medicine, for S. P. Peckett has the best in the market. He keeps open all night. Don't fail to get a good cigar while you wait for a street car on Jefferson avenue, for Pickett has them. 2601 Lawton avenue. The West Virginia democrats elected an uninstructed delegation to the St. Louis convention. Ex-Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii and party are to visit St. Louis and the World's fair next month.

It has been discovered that the "blues" are only a form of splanckinie neurasthenia, due to intra-abdominal venous congestion. Cheer up—it may not be true! The presidential candidate concerning whom the public knows nothing has a distinct advantage over the candidate about whom the public knows too much. The bank deposits in Kansas are equivalent to $69.89 for every man, woman and child in the state. Another good wheat crop will make it necessary to renew the hasps on the Kansas pocketbook. Washington correspondence states that Representative Griggs, of Georgia, consumes from five to six small bags of peanuts every day. And yet he would probably resit it if any one should call him that kind of a politician. The Mormons are reported to be panic-stricken because of President Smith's proclamation forbidding future plural marriages. As long as plural marriages were forbidden merely by the laws of the United States the Mormons didn't seem to be troubled. Mrs. Fannie Blackburn, of Cleveland, has received 14 offers of marriage since she drove three burglaries out of her house with a club last week. Evidently there are a great many men who don't want to get up every time their wife thinks she hears burglaries in the house. J. Pierpont Morgan is able to subscribe for a $130,000 set of Dickens' works, notwithstanding the merger decision and several other things that are supposed to have happened to him during the last few months. He must have saved something for the rainy day. The services held in the United States Senate chamber to pay tribute to the memory of the late Senator Hanna were marked by more than usual interest and sincerity. No other American ever made so deep an impression on the country so soon after entering public life or was more sincerely mourned on his departure. John L. Sullivan has turned temperance advocate. As a man who in his day has literally drunk enough whisky and wine to float a battleship, and been reduced thereby from physical and financial influence to what Mr. Micawber would call "the wreck you now behold." Mr. Sullivan may claim to speak with special authority on his subject. Kuropatkin appears to be playing a waiting game. His idea of success in war seems to be to make sure of having a preponderance of numbers and advantage in position, and a way out of a tight place if he should happen to get into one. Furthermore, he has everything to gain, while the Japanese have everything to lose by delay. The longer the clash of arms is averted the better the Russians will be prepared in the way of men, supplies and munitions. It is figured in London that the big advance in the price of cotton has cost Lancashire $9,000,000 in the past few months. In the United States the loss by the gamble has probably been as large as it has been in England. A great curtailment of the output of the cotton mills has taken place here, and the operatives have suffered in a corresponding degree. An advance, too, in the price of cotton goods has taken place. Thus many innocent persons—thousands of wage-earners and millions of consumers—have suffered for the benefit, chiefly, of gamblers. The New York legislature has enacted a law whose object is to cripple the business of a notorious gambler. One would imagine that such a measure would glide smoothly and quickly through the general assembly of a great moral American state. That is not what happened. The bill was fought so bitterly that its passage is hailed as a great victory—as a triumph of virtue over vice that should make New Yorkers proud of their commonwealth. Its friends congratulate themselves that the gamblers did not put up more money to fight it. Every woman in the land, and many a man as well, by natural sequence, will be interested to note the plucky battle that a pretty young woman of Rochester, N. Y., is waging against a certain firm for using her face without permission in the representation of a bath-tub advertisement. And those who possess a desire for decency and uphold the rights of privacy will be pleased to learn that the printed reports that the young woman in question has no legal remedy in the matter are without foundation. May victory be the result of the battle. A FOOLISH STORY GIVEN CURRENCY A FOOLISH STORY GIVEN CURRENCY Russians Say American and British Ships Helped Japanese. A STRONG FEELING AROUSED Americans and British Subjects Are Not Safe Anywhere in Manchuria—An Englishman Reported Hanged. Berlin, April 22.—A correspondent of of the Frankfurter Zeitung, writing from Harbin, Manchuria, under date of March 16, says: "Great bitterness has been aroused throughout Manchuria against Americans and British because it is believed American and British vessels took part in the bombardments of Port Arthur under the Japanese flag. This belief apparently is due to the fact that the Japanese fleet was larger than the Russians anticipated and included unknown types of vessels. The feeling is so strong that Americans and British are not safe anywhere in Manchuria. One Rally, an American, and several others, including Davidson, a Canadian, have disappeared. The authorities are looking for them. "It is reported that an Englishman was arrested in Port Arthur as a spy and was taken to Mukden and hanged. "The plying of the so-called flower boats on the Liao river, mostly under the American flag and carrying American goods, has been prohibited. "Southern Manchuria has been scoured for several months for supplies of flour destined for Port Arthur, which is reported to be provisioned for two years." NEW ISSUE OF RUSSIAN PAPER. Fifteen Millions in Paper Currency Issued Against Free Gold. St. Petersburg, April 22.—Russia has made a new issue of $15,000,000 in paper currency against free gold in the state bank. At the ministry of finance it was explained that it was an ordi- nary issue and in no sense was forced. Under the law, paper is issuable to double the amount of gold, up to $15, 000,000 gold, in excess of which paper issued must be covered rouble for roule. In the state bank there are, in round figures, $400,000,000 in gold, which would permit of an issue of $550,000,000 in paper, but the paper issue at present only amounts to $350, 000,000. UNITED STATES RESERVES RIGHTS Russia's Wireless Telegraphy Edict Sco. Out. antifitigation St. Petersburg, April 22.—Foreign Minister Laudsdorf has been notified that the United States reserves all the rights she may have under international law in the event of any American citizens being affected by Russia's decision in the case of war correspondents using wireless telegraphy. This notification does not involve a protest against Russia's course; it is simply reserving whatever rights may exist in regard to the yet unadjudicated question of the use of wireless telegraphy in time of war. United States Commercial Agent Greener, at Vladivostok, has been instructed through Ambassador McCormick to inform the Japanese consul at the island of Sahhalin that a vessel will be sent to the island to take back to Japan the consular staff and the refugees. The arrangements for sending the ship are to be made by Japan, through the authorities at Washington. HE DOESN'T WANT TO GO HOME. Grand Duke Cyril Protests Against Returning to Russia. St. Petersburg, April 22.—Grand Duke Cyril, who was injured at the time of the Petropavlovsk disaster, is protesting against returning to Russia. He desires as soon as he has recovered to go back to Port Arthur, but his mother, the Grand Duchess Vladimir, is insisting on his return. Marine Minister Avellan has received the following telegram from Gen. Kuropatkin: "I mentally embrace you, dear Feodor Carlovich, knowing the grief and anxiety you are suffering. The army finds consolation in the firm conviction that our illustrious seamen will retrieve their loss at the expense of the Japanese fleet." THEIR FINISH IS PATENT. Two Japanese Officers Who Have But a Short Lease of Life. Tien Tsin, April 22—The two Japanese officers who were captured in Manchuria, disguised a lamas, and who had a large quantity of explosive in their possession, have been taken to Port Arthur. An examination is being made in order to discover how they procured Chinese passports. They will be dealt with according to martial law. Bank Burglarized. Clay City, Ind., April 22.—The Farmers and Merchants' bank was entered by burglars during the night, who blew open the safe and escape with $6,000. The front of the building was blown across the street. Loss covered by insurance. A Victim of Apoplexy: Lockport, N. Y., April 22.—John E Pound, United States commissioner and former chief regent of the Royal Arcanum of the United States, is dead, aged 62 years. He was stricken with anphelxy. BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. 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 our late secretary, 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 member 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. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics. OZONO. iron-clad guarantee to do all that. Now, we ask you a plain question: $20.00 if you are dissatisfied with to all we claim for them?

I will one package of our celebrated LLY PURE, and no soap but a which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00. Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozone has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozone as the King of all Hair Tonics.

It will restore gray hair to its natural color, making the hair long and soft. Now, right here, let us make a statement. Many firms are advertising remedies to straighten hair, but when they send the preparation they tell you to use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the life of the hair, and cause it to drop out. Ozone straightens without any outside assistance. Nothing but Ozone is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time. The good effects on the hair are seen in a day or two after the first application. The price of Ozono is 50c. a bottle—4 boxes do the work.

A Georgia man who had made a flying machine offered a negro ten dollars to make a trial trip in it. The negro agreed, got in position, and he and the machine were hoisted by block and tinkle about 30 feet from terra firma. When the rope was loosened the machine took a sudden slanting course toward earth and plunged into an adjacent mill pond. It disappeared with the negro beneath the water, while the terrified inventor stood shrieking for assistance. Presently the negro's head bobbed up serenely and he struck out for dry land. On arriving his first spluttered words were: "In de name er God, Marse John, why didn't you tell dat fool thing whar ter 'light'?" —Atlanta Constitution. A TRIED WOMAN BAGPIEER.

Unseasonable Wetter Has Retarded Farm Work in Some Localities—Planting Progressing. Columbia, Mq., April 19.—The United States department of agriculture, climate and crop bulletin of the weather bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending April 18, 1904, says: Unseasonably cold weather has continued throughout the state, freezing temperature occurring in nearly all counties, but there has been little or no precipitation during the week, except in portions of the southern sections, where light to moderately heavy rains fell on the 16th. Ice formed in most sections on one or more mornings, and in the northern counties the ground was frozen. Light snow fell in the extreme northeastern counties on the 13th, and in some of the northern counties the snow which fell on the 8th has not entirely disappeared. In a majority of the southern and some of the central and northern counties considerable progress has been made with farm work, but in most of the northern counties the soil is very cold and wet. Oat-sowing is now well advanced, except in some of the northern counties, where very few have yet been sown, but in some districts the acreage will be much smaller than usual, owing to the unfavorable conditions and the lateness of the season. In the central and southern sections considerable ground has been prepared for corn, and some has been planted as far noth as Cass, Johnson and Osage counties. In a few of the southwestern counties planting is well advanced, and same corn is up. Many potatoes have also been planted and some gardens made. Some melons have been planted in Dunklin county, and cotton planting will be in full progress in that county during the coming week. On account of the low temperature, vegetation of all kinds is very backward and making slow progress. There is some complaint that oats are not coming up well, and some that are up look yellow. Wheat continues to improve but is making slow growth, as some localities dry feed for stock is becoming scarce. In a few of the extreme southern counties a portion of the peach buds were killed by the recent frosts, but as a rule they had escaped serious injury. Early strawberries were also damaged by the frosts in some localities. Apples are now blooming in most of the southern counties, and a good crop is promised. The Rhodes Scholarship. The Rhodes scholarship examinations at Columbia have been finished and the papers sent to Montreal, Canada, where they will be placed in the charge of the proper authorities, who will send them to the examining board of Oxford university. After the papers are examined and graded in England, a list of the successful applicants for the state of Missouri university, and then the committee will pick the applicant they think is best qualified under the terms of the will of Cecil Rhodes for the scholarship at Oxford. Moberly Votes For Light Plant. A special election was held at Moberly to grant to the Moberly Light, Power & Fuel Co. the right to construct, maintain and operate an electric and gas light, power and fuel plant in Moberly, and also to legalize a contract for ten years with that company. A two-thirds majority was required, and the two proposition carried almost unanimously. What Whisky Did For Him. In St. Joseph, while crazed by drink, John Ganey shot and killed his nephew, Grover Foster, fatally shot his niece, Mrs. E. B. Sigler, and then turned the weapon on himself, the bullet lodging in the back of his head, a probable fatal wound. Will Use Kansas Gas.

Lottie Lockhart and Lillie Dale, who robbed Lumford Sawyer, of Omaha, Neb., of $650, were given three years each in the penitentiary in St. Louis. Tyrrell Talks at Fulton. The Missouri Christian lectureship closed at Fulton with a vigorous address upon the ethics of wealth by Rev. F. G. Tyrrell, of St. Louis. Smelting Plant Burned. The plant of the St. Louis Smelting & Refining Co. was destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of $25,000. Many are thrown out of employment. Greatest Output and Highest Prices on Record Marked the Industry in 1903. The annual report of Charles Evans, state coal mine inspector, for the year 1903, indicates a splendid showing for the year. The report declares the "year 1903 to have been the most prosperous known to both miner and operator in the history of the state. The demand for coal was extremely good, the price paid for mining was increased, and the price received for the product was much better than for many years. The coal production for 1903 sold at the mines for an average of $1.58 per ton, with a total value of $6,730,515. This, compared with the value of the output for the previous year, which was $5,325,832, shows an increase of $1,404,683, or 26.37 per cent." The report states that "the coal industry of the state employed during the winter season 10,517 men and during the summer season 7,887, or an average through the year of 1,977 men. There were 348 mines operated during the year." The subject of accidents is taken up, and the report says: "The total number of accidents was 39, of which 17 were fatal and 22 non-fatal. These accidents were due to various causes—for instance, 21 were due to falls of roof, the most fruitful cause of accidents in coal mines, not only in our state, but in all other states; there were six accidents due to contact with mine cars in one way or another; five accidents resulted from the men returning to soon on shots which failed to fire at the expected time; explosions of gas burned four, three of them fatally; explosions of powder caused two accidents, and a fall of coal resulted in one accident. These accidents caused death and injury to 30 miners, 15 mule drivers, 2 timbermen, 1 foreman and 1 shot firer. Of these men 26 were married and 13 single men. There were worked in the mines during the year an average of 541 mules." SENT TO PENITENTIARY. Defaulting Bank Cashier Will Serve Eight Years For His Confessed Crime. In the circuit court at Gallatin, Lee Deford, the defaulting cashier of the Bank of Altamont, pleaded guilty to four counts of receiving money on deposit when his bank was known to be in falling circumstances, and was sentenced by Judge Alexander to eight years in the penitentiary. On January 28 the Altamont bank was closed by the state bank examiner, and an examination of the books showed shortage of several thousand dollars. On February 1 Deford confessed to having multilated the books to cover up a further shortage, and gave a list of deposits never credited on the books that swelled the total shortage to nearly $20,000. He escaped immediately afterwards, but on February 15 returned and surrendered to Attorney Britton, who will claim the $300 reward offered by the state for his arrest and conviction. The bank failure involved Deford's father and brother and uncle. They will lose everything they have in paying the depositors, who will then not realize over 50 cents on the dollar. Another uncle of Deford was forced to make an assignment of his mercantile business by reason of the failure. Deford refused steadfastly to divulge what he did with the money and says he never will tell. After Prizes at Missouri University. After Prizes at Missouri University Since the spring term opened many of the students of the University of Missouri have been preparing for the competition for the various prizes, scholarship honors and fellowship offered by the university. More will compete this year and the competition will be closer. The fellowships hold out the best inducements. They are valued at about two hundred dollars a year and offer the free use of all the laboratories and libraries of the university. The scholarships are next, and they are worth about $125 a year, with freedom from the payment of the usual dues and fees. In most schools these holders do considerable teaching; but here they have very light duties. The object of them is to encourage scholastic attainments. Sells Fossil Collection. Dr. J. H. Ritter, of Clinton, the well-known geologist, has sold his collection of coal fossils to the Chicago academy of science. The sale was the result of a personal inspection of the collection by Secretary William K. Higley of the academy. It is one of the largest collections of this kind of fossils outside of the Smithsonian institution, numbering 2,000 specimens, all collected from the coal mines of Henry county. Students Seek Federal Jobs. Eight members of the senior engineering class of the state university have taken examinations to enter the construction work of the United States. Tired of the Model City.

Matters of Interest Transpiring at the Missouri State University. A Lecture to the Students and Faculty by Dr. Thomas Day Seymour, of Yale. A lecture, interesting alike to the students of antiquities, as well as to those who know nothing about the past, was delivered to the students and faculty of Missouri university by Thomas Day Seymour, of Yale. Dr. Seymour resided in Greece 14 years as president of the American institute at Athens. During that time a large part of the ancient city of Corinth was uncovered under his direction. Speaking of this city, Dr. Seymour said: "Corinth, you must know, was, next to Athens, the most populous city in ancient Greece. It was the seat of the highest culture, and held temples and other structures which rivaled in beauty the capital of the peninsula. Corinth was situated upon an isthmus connecting northern and southern Greece and, dividing the Aegean from the Adriatic sea. In 1876 that part of the old city then standing was almost demolished by an earthquake. A new Corinth has since sprung up at considerable distance from the present site of the ancient center. It was Dr. Richardson, my coadjutor in Greece, who first conceived the idea of locating the site of old Corinth. He set about the task systematically, and his explorations bore fruits from the outset. Many classical relics exhumed by Dr. Richardson repose in the museum of New York city. Others remain in the land of their nativity, and are preserved in museums built near the spot where they were found. Dr. Richardson began his work of excavating with a general theory as to the location of Corinth. He chose what he believed to be a central spot, and from thence caused to be thrown out 21 trenches. He had not proceeded far with his work before he struck a paved roadway. Later investigations proved that he had hit upon the main thoroughfare of the old city. It was paved with huge flagstones, and was in a fair state of preservation. The next important find which the exgers, made was the ruins of the fountain Pyrene, which the literature of the ancients tells us marked the applorer, with his band of native digproximate center of the city. The discovery came about curiously enough. In digging a well, Dr. Richardson tapped a series of conduits. A cough examination of the bottom of the well convinced him that he had struck the famous fountain of Pyrene. A season of excavation in the vicinity of this well verified his predictions and hopes. To-day that fountain stands forth as the most wonderful ruin of its kind in Greece." UNIVERSITY AT THE FAIR. It Expects to Outdo All Other Universities With Its Exhibit. The University of Missouri expects to outdo all other universities with its exhibit at the World's fair. A carload, the first installment, has been shipped, and more will follow. The World's fair officials have conceded to Missouri university more space than is allowed to any other educational institution in the world, and the university authorities feel that this space must be filled with an exhibit that will surpass all others. For months every one of the 30 departments of the university has been working a large force preparing the exhibits. The Jefferson monument, brought from Monticello to the university campus by Dr. Laws, during his presidency, will form an attractive center around which the exhibit will be grouped. The engineering department will present a number of mechanical devices showing the constructive power of the students. The law department will show all the books, pamphlets and brochures published by alumni, students and faculty since the establishment of the law school in 1872. The geology department will have on exhibition the largest relief map of Missouri ever made. It will show mountains, valleys, rivers and woodlands as they would appear if one could climb some high pinnacle and see at one glance the entire state of Missouri. The veterinary department will show a miniature bluegrass pasture, in which are cattle in the different stages of various diseases. The department of animal husbandry will make an exhibit showing the results of the largest experimental cattle feeding ever conducted in the United States. Every department in the university will thus try to produce the very best of which it is capable, in order that the exhibit of Missouri's university may surpass all others, not only in amount of space, but also in degree of excellence. In Honor of Jefferson. The students and faculty of the University of Missouri held a convocation on the birthday of Thomas Jefferson. Speeches were made by members of the faculty extolling the great deeds of Jefferson and urging the students to emulate his example. --- A unique institution of Vienna is a new academy, in which young men are specially trained for the consular service. Eight languages are taught in it, beside commercial history and geography, political science, jurisprudence, etc. There is room for 40 students, and the course lasts five years. Dr. Maxmilian Nitze, who, just a quarter of a century ago, invented a luminous apparatus for looking into the stomach and other internal organs, is still living in Berlin, where he is an instructor at the university. How to Put in a Week at the St. Louis Exposition. Suggestions That Will Save Valuable Time for Visitors — A Six Days' Itinerary Outlined — The Economy of Minutes. A question that perplexes those who have seen the World's Fair during the period of its construction is: "How can I see the exposition as it should be seen in the few days that I shall have to devote to it?" This is indeed a perplexing question. Many persons are preparing to move to St. Louis for the entire exposition period, or a considerable part of it, in order to see the fair properly. But the great majority of those who dwell at a distance will feel able to spend only a few days, perhaps a week, in the grounds, and they are the ones who must economize their time so that they may see the sights to the best advantage. As a matter of fact, no one will be able to "do" the exposition thoroughly in a week, or for that matter in a month. So vast is the thing that only those who have watched its growth closely during the three years past can have any adequate conception of its immunity. However, as a great many thousands of visitors will have only a week or so in which to see the fair, it is in order to offer a few suggestions that will enable them to make the best of the time at their disposal. Let us assume that the visitor has one week—six days, beginning on Monday. It might be well first to take a ride on the Intramural Railway, which makes a circuit inside the grounds, with fourteen miles of track. A trip of a little more than an hour on one of these commodious electric cars, specially constructed for observation purposes, will give the visitor some idea as to the surface vastness of the exposition and the beauty of its exterior features. It is well, after the ride, to plunge at once into the melaestrom of magnificence. It will dazzle, but after the precautionary car ride the visitor should be in a measure prepared for it. Let him leave the car at one of the stations adjacent to the chief group of exhibit palaces, located on level ground north of Art Hill. Here are eight of the most magnificent exposition edifices ever conceived. The palaces are devoted to Education and Social Economy, Varied Industries, Liberal Arts, Transportation, Electricity, Machinery, Manufactures and Mines and Metallurgy. It is worth one's while to spend at least half a day in merely looking at things from the outside, climbing the broad steps up the slope of Art Hill, past the tumbling, leaping, laughing waters of the Cascade Gardens, to the towering Festival Hall in the center, flanked by the noble Colonnade of States and the imposing Restaurant Pavilions. In your one week you can devote only about two days to this main picture and the Palace of Fine Arts back on the hill, to the rear of Festival Hall. Any one of these buildings contains interesting things enough to keep one busy for a week in seeing them. Your Monday and Tuesday will pass swiftly. Wednesday may be devoted to the Plateau of States, the United States Government building and its Fisheries annex, and the New Jerusalem. In the government's main building many things of national interest will attract you, but you must hasten on and step inside the Fisheries building. There are nearly fifty state and territory buildings, each surrounded by beautiful grounds. And then there is Jerusalem, an eleven-acre reproduction of the Holy City, with a thousand natives of the city dwelling in the reproduction. Long before Thursday you will have wondered what huge building it is that lies beyond Skinker road, up a gentle hillside. That is the biggest building ever devoted to one branch of industry at an exposition. It is the Palace of Agriculture, containing twenty acres of floor space, packed with exhibits. See as much as you can of these exhibits on the fourth day, but you can't stop to see everything, for just south is the Palace of Horticulture and all around are outdoor exhibits of flowers and shrubs and graceful landscaping. And still farther westward, across some bridges that span a lake called the Laguna de Bay, you will observe a great group of buildings of curious construction. This is the Filipino tract, with a reproduction of the walled city of Manila, a Moro village and many other native scenes. Night will overtake you in the Philippines. Friday may be devoted profitably to visiting the foreign buildings. More than forty nations are represented. "You'll have to hurry," for on this day you must see also the Administration group of solid stone structures, including the Hall of Congresses and the late Queen Victoria's Jubilee presents. In this vicinity also are the military barracks, the physical culture features, with the great Stadium where the Olympian games take place, and the aeronauts' field. Also, there is the ethnological exhibit of living giants and pygmies and many other curious peoples. Only Saturday is left, and you have not been on The Pike. One day is entirely too brief for you to see this wonderful amusement street as it should be seen, with its various unique features. It is quite probable that you will decide to rest up over Sunday and come back next week. ROBERTUS LOVE. 2601 LAWTON AVENUE. N. W. Cor. Jefferson and Lawton Aves. Open Day and Night. Both Telephones.

THE LESSON TEXT (Luke 10:1-16.) 1. After these things the Lord appointed other 70 also, and sent them two and two before His face into every city and place, whither He Himself would come. 2. Therefore said He into them: The harvest is great, but the laborers are few; and salute the Lord, the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth laborers into His harvest. 3. Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. 4. Carry neither purse, nor serpent, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way. 5. And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say: Peace be to this house. 6. And if the Son of Peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; if not, it shall turn to you again. 7. And the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. 8. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: 9. And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them: The Kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 10. But into whatsoever city ye enter, and into the streets of the same, and say: 11. Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you; notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the Kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 12. But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for the city. 13. We unto thee, Chorazini woe unto thee, Bethsaidaf for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented . . . , sitting in sack-cloth and ashes. 14. But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. 15. And thou, Capernaum, which are exited to heaven, shalt be drunk down to hell. 16. He that hearest you heareth me; and that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth Him that sent me.

"Seventy others:" Besides the twelve disciples sent out on a missionary tour once before (Luke 9:1-6). "Two and two:" For companionship. They were to prepare the way for Jesus' own personal ministry. "The harvest indeed is plenteous:" As true to-day as ever. What is there that is more of a burden to an earnest soul than the sight of great opportunities which must be neglected for lack of wonders! "Go your ways:" They were to scatter. "Lambs in the midst of wolves:" Jesus had just been speaking in glowing terms of the harvest. Now the figure is changed; instead of glad reapers the missionaries are spoken of as defenceless lambs in the midst of a pack of hungry wolves. Both figures were true. He wanted them to know both the bright and the dark side of the work they were entering. They were not children but men. "Carry no purse:" For money; they would not need it. "No wallet:" for provisions; a small leather case like a rough knapsack. "No shoes:" For indoor use; sandals would be enough. The "shoes" were soft and fine, and made of bright-colored materials. They were no more necessary than a man's slippers are to day when he is off on a business trip. "Salute no man on the way:" Referring to formal salutations, which were elaborate and occupied much time. The simple greeting of those who were in haste would be enough. "Into whatsoever house ye shall enter:" To find a stopping-place as a guest. This was not a strange thing to do, though it seems so to us now. It is still the custom in many parts of the east for travelers to depend wholly on the free hospitality of the people. "Go not from house to house:" There would be no time for social engagements such as visiting rabbits delighted in. "Heal the sick . . . say . . . The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you:" The twofold ministry—to men's bodies and to their soul—a ministry to the whole man. Christianity cannot be satisfied to attempt less. "Receive you not," etc. In case of rebufft they were to move on. "Woe unto thee, Chorazin, etc.' Notice that He was not pronouncing a woe, a doom upon those who had rejected Him; He was rather lamenting a condition which already existed. It was their rejection of Him which had condemned them. "It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon . . . than for you:" Why? The answer brings out a fundamental principle of Christian ethics. Tyre was living a bad life; Chorazin was living a bad life; what was the difference? Simply that Chorazin had sinned in spite of greater light than Tyre; a light that Tyre had not even seen. Men cannot be classified morally without a knowledge of what their light has been, and that God only fully knows. Spear Points. No man's conversion stops with himself. God's essentials may be hidden in our incidentals. Men reach God by realities and not by formalities. Nothing paralyzes the love of right like lust for riches. It is still worth while to be right no matter who is wrong. The foolish bark at truth because it is a stranger to them. The things that make us happy are those to which we have given our hearts.—Ram's Horn. Changes Under the Ocean. Many of the violent changes which occur under the surface of the sea, as Prof. John Milne has recently shown, produce effects that are distinctly and sometimes disastrously felt on land. Wherever a profound cavity exists in the bed of the ocean near the land, and wherever the border of a continent slopes off into a deep sea, great slides are apt to occur, and these often cause earthquakes. In Japan, Mr. Milne says, a large number of earthquakes came from the deep sea off the mouth of the Inegawa, the largest of the Japanese rivers. The river brings down alluvial detritus which is deposited on the brink of a deep hollow in the ocean, and from time to time the accumulated deposit slides into the depths, shaking not only the sea-bottom, but the adjacent land.—Youth's Companion. A Fatal Slip: "Gentleman," said the political candidate, "my record is an open book. There is nothing in it that I am ashamed of. Though I have passed beyond the point which the majority of men fail to reach, I am not proud. I have started as a poor boy, and have come up through all the various walks of like to—" "Walks of life? Walks of life?" broke in the assembled bicyclists; "this man talks about coming up through the walks of life, and then asks us to vote for him! Down with him! Tar and feathers! Somebody get a rail!" The candidate escaped by jumping through a second-story window, but he never stopped to learn whether he was beaten at the polls or not.—Cleveland Leader. Boiled Wheat. Select new wheat with plump kernels; that which is freshly cut and well rubbed from the chaff is best for this purpose. Look it over carefully, wash, and put to cook in five times its measure of cold water. Let it come to a boil, and cook gently until the grains burst open, and they can be readily mashed between the thumb and finger. This will require from four to ten hours, according to the age and variety of the wheat used. Less time will be needed if the grain is soaked over night. When done, it should be full of a rich, thick liquor. If necessary, add more boiling water, but stir as little as possible. Good Health. A Feathered Surgeon A story is told which would indicate that swallows have considerable surgical skill as well as intelligence. A certain physician found in a nest a young swallow much weaker than its mate, which had one of its legs bandaged with horsehairs. Taking the hairs away, he found that the bird's leg was broken. The next time he visited the nest he found the leg again bandaged. He continued to observe "the case," and in two weeks found that the bird was cautiously removing the hairs, a few each day. The cure was entirely successful.—Detroit Free Press. The Collegian's Retort. Members of the class in Cambridge had been rather flippant in regard to some pompous authority, and a fellow was eulogizing him. Said he: "You are probably ignorant, young gentlemen, that the venerable person of whom you have been speaking with such levity is one of the profoundest scholars of our age—indeed, it may be doubted whether any man of our age has bathed more deeply in the sacred fountains of antiquity." "Or come up drier, sir" was the reply of the undergraduate.—Recollections of Abubrev de Vere. An Expensive Stamp. That stamp collecting is not at all a cheap amusement is a well-known fact.

"I wish," said the young man, "that you would be less informal and call me by my first name." "I'd rather not," replied his fair companion; "your last name suits me."

Among other questions says: "I will answer inquiries who onelose a stamp for reply and will be pleased to tell them just how I cured myself of a serious case of Kidney Urinary and Bladder trouble which had tortured me for over three years. I had a fearful burning sensation when urinating and was in very bad shape and commenced to use a medicine called Dodd's Cure." "In a very short time I found I was getting better and I kept on till I was completely cured. Every symptom of my old trouble is gone and, besides being cured of this particular trouble, my general health is better than it has been for years, and I am now able to spend more times to testify to the wonderful curing powers of Dodd's Kidney Pills."

Lovell, of 415 North First St., Spokane, Wash., says: "I have had trouble from my kidneys for the past ten years. It was caused by a strain to which I paid little attention. But as I neglected the trouble, it became worse and worse until any strain or a slight cold was sure to be followed by severe pain across my back. Then the action of the kidney secretions became deranged and I was caused much annoyance besides loss of sleep. Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my notice and after taking them a short time their good effect was apparent. All the pain was removed from my back and the kidney secretions became normal.

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 dent 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 Torth "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 washes 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 the 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 like to rule 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. The 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 what- Don't Forget the Grand Opening, Outing and Picnic At BLOEMECK'S GROVE, MONDAY, MAY 2, 1904.

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 he only way to bring forth the "STRAIGHT GOODS." Two messenger sent from each independent body orurch when they are met together and organized into a Baptist Association—remember—they cannot makeaws for the independent bodies or churches to go by. This would not be bringing forth the "STRAIGHT GOODS." LAWYERS W. M. Farmer. Albert Burgess. E. H. Taylor. J. A. Smith. Crittenden Clark. Mr. Hoffer. Hutchins Inge. R. J. Raymond. L. C. Jones.

B. President Ailen returned from his recent trip to the Association of College Presidents, much benefitted physically, and brimful of ideas and thoughts gleaned en passant. He was most cordially greeted by faculty and students, and expressed himself as well pleased with the manner in which the institution had been managed during his absence. In addition to attending the convention, where he delivered several addresses and received many honors, President Allen spent considerable time inspecting the educational systems of Baltimore,Philadelphia and New York; and in his talks since he has especially reviewed the work of Morgan college, in Baltimore, designed for the industrial training of Negroes; also of Williamson free school for poor boys in Philadelphia, etc. These talks have been very instructive, and have enabled the hearers to make many favorable comparisons. On Thursday evening, April 14, the faculty gave a brilliant reception in honor of President Allen. An excellent programme was rendered, the main feature of which was a delightful address by the guest of honor, "My Trip." A rare seven course repast was served by Caterer Nash, and enlivened by that "Feast of reason and flow of the soul" which rules when made up of the up-to-date toast. Rev. J. E. Moreland, traveling secretary of the Y. M. C. A., was an honored guest at Lincoln institute during a portion of Wednesday and Thursday last, and delivered an excellent address to the student body as well as to the young men. President Allen has many demands upon his time for commencement addresses, not only throughout the state, but in various sections of the country. As far as time will permit he will keep these appointments. His Sunday address, "Co-Operation," was very highly appreciated. Newport, Ill., Business Men. Rev. Enoch Gibson has a first-class grocery, meat and vegetable market He also conducts a coal yard. Mr. G. T. Duppe, a young man, is in the tonsorial business. He is doing well. Other gentlemen are doing what they can to elevate the Negro. We believe that when a man pays license to conduct a business, he has, or ought to be, protected. But when a man runs a dive and carries on gambling and destroys our young men and women, then such a place ought to be closed up. We would like to know whether that man Fairchild is doing any better since he has a new saloon. We must open the eyes of the Newport public. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The People's Choice for President.
