St. Louis Palladium

ST.LOUIS PALLADIUM Circulated Among 170,000 Colored People in the City of St. Louis and the State of Missouri. The Best Advertising Medium in the West. We Exchange with 125 Negro Newspapers in the United States. Vol. XX. No. 21. Circulated Among 170 M. B. REV. DR. E. C. COLE. Last Sunday was a gala day at the First Baptist church, and equally so was a sorrowful one, for just as soon as their morning covenant service was over, in which a goodly number of the members had given their testimony for the many blessings that God had bestowed upon them, and a good collection had been taken up, a large congregation, probably 5,000 souls, had gathered to witness the funeral of Brother L. P. Nash, which was so ably preached by Dr. E. C. Cole. At the conclusion of the funeral, Rev. Cole baptized the remaining candidates who joined during the protracted meeting a few weeks ago, and extended to all young converts present the right hand of fellowship. Following this, Dr. Cole administered the Lord's Supper to 500 members, who had remained for the evening service. In the meantime, the Ruth club had prepared a sumptuous dinner in the chapel, and, owing to the fact that a goodly number had been in attendance at the church all day, many became hungry, therfore, at the close of the service, Rev. Cole invited everyone back to partake of the many good things the club had prepared. The chapel soon filled up, and Mrs. Leatha Newcomb, the president, and her aides, spared no time nor pains in seeing that everyone was kindly cared for and served nicely. The dinner netted the club a nice little sum, which will be promptly paid out on the main debt of the church. Last Sunday night, 7:30, a large crowd gathered for the second time on BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF WORLD'S FAIR. Last Saturday the World's fair was duly opened, and it was magnificent—such as the civilized world has never before looked upon. It must be admitted that the St. Louis World's fair is now the admiration of the world. The human mind can not grasp the beauty and magnificence that is displayed in every part. Ex-Gov. D. R. Francis and the World's fair commission must be congratulated upon the completion of the same. In after years, when the unborn generation shall read in the pages of history of the world, they will see that the plans placed in the hands of the World's fair commission, with D. R. Francis as chairman, did not fall awry. After three years of hard work, the chairman traveling nearly over all the civilized world, returned with good that day to listen to a logical and interesting sermon, which is generally delivered by Dr. Ellis C. Cole. The doctor seemed at all times to be prepared for the occasion. The theme of his subject was "Character." He demonstrated the fact by quoting several passages of Scripture, that wise men in ancient times built their houses in the mountains out of stone, but the fools built theirs out of straw, which could not stand the test. He compared this with good and bad character, showing what anyone must do to become a Christian. Said he: "Good character is one of the best things anyone can possess, and it will stand when everything else, save religion, has passed away. But the masses of my people seem to be so indifferent about their soul salvation; they are traveling away from God daily. Some of them would rather ride on the street cars all day Sunday, or stay home and sleep, sleep, and too much sleep is not even good for a horse. Another thing about my people, is they clamor too much for a good time; in fact don't care what they do nor where they go. Let me persuade you, one and all, to stand up for truth, honesty, character and for God." Amen! Amen! Would God to that all the preachers all over this land would take pattern after Dr. Cole, for this kind of talk is what our people need. The parlor social and ice cream entertainment that was given by the Pleasant Workers' club, last Tuesday night, at the palatial home of Madame PALACE OF THE KING news from the heads of all of the foreign nations that they would be ready, and that almost every nation would be there to add to the splendor and beauty of the greatest fair that has ever been placed before the world. True to the promise made to congress, that on the 30th of April, 1904, all would be ready, Francis, with watch in hand, surrounded by the World's fair commission, and thousands of the representatives from the far east, stood awaiting the signal from Washington. A telegram was sent to our president that all was ready for the grand opening. President Roosevelt pressed the button at Washington, D. C., and the machinery was set in motion. So grand and great was the affair that 178,432 paid to witness the event. The parade, showing the various nations, was greatly admired by all. The Pike, with all its attractive wonders, drew crowds. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1904. M. A. Gilree, 3004 Lawton avenue, was really the grandest affair that was ever seen in St. Louis. Those spacious double parlors, with every modern improvement, the brilliant Plintsch gas lights, the parlor games, the sweet manners of the hostess, and indeed everything that one's eyes could behold, lent pleasure and happiness to the occasion. Madame Gilree and her dear mother, Mrs. E. Jones, were smiles and kind words from the beginning to the end, and in fact turned their beautiful home over to the pleasure-seekers. The refreshments were strawberries, ice cream, coffee, tea, sandwiches, chicken salad, etc., all of which went like hot cakes. The night was one of mirth, from 8 until 12, at which hour the guests began to return to their homes, bidding the madame good-night, and thanking her for the kindness shown them. These are the names of some of the many ladies and gentlemen who attended the social: Dr. and Mrs. E. C. Cole, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Turner, Mrs. Minnie Turner, Mrs. Anna Hammons, Mrs. Sada Byrd, Capt. William H. Butler and wife, Mrs. Addie Hawiston and daughter, Irene, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Richardson, Mrs. Nannie Chase, Miss Georgia Johnson, Mr. William Harrison, Miss Flora E. Childs, Misses Anna B. and Berdella Thomas, Mr. Willie Carnell, Mr. A. P. Brown, Miss Ethel Richardson, Mrs. Carrie Miller, Mr. Thomas Morton, Mrs. Sallie F. Jones, Mrs. Sarah Shephard, Miss M. E. Anderson, Mrs. M. J. Fuqua, Mrs. H. B. Morgan, Mr. William Rozier, Mrs. Nora Lee, Mr. G. Butler, Miss Fowler, Mr. Homer Magee, Miss Lula Morrison, Mrs. Olden, Mr. Joseph Johnson, Mrs. Lizzie Harris, Mrs. Ollie Jackson, Mrs. L. Smith, Miss B. T. Sommers, Mrs. Leatha Newcomb. ORPHANS HOME DAY Orphans' Home Day at the Home 4216A Natural Bridge road, Sunday May 15, 1904, at 3 p. m. Devotional exercises conducted by the pastors of some of our churches. The bishops of the A. M. E. Zion church have been invited to attend in a body. The music will be in charge of St. Peter's choir. All fraternal societies have been invited to turn out. Dinner and refreshments served on the grounds. Twenty-Seventh Ward Republican League Club. Every voter of the Twenty-second ward and adjoining wards should go to the meeting on Thursday, May 12 to hear a talk on "Practical Politics." We know that it will be good, as Mr. Lloyd learned politics from the Hon. C. I. Filley. We shall be there. S. L. Pickett. Drugs fresh daily Don't pass his door—2601 Lawton Av. 1 Chief among the wonders, was Jinkey, the educated horse, trained by an old Colored gentleman. The horse performer feats that seemed incredible. He worked any example in arithmetic, brought any-letter of the alphabet requested by anyone in the audience, selected any piece of money, displayed his knowledge of colors, and in numerous other ways excited the wonderment of all who saw him. A visit to the Pike would not be complete without seeing Jimkey. The educational exhibit of the St. Louis public schools was also one of the chief attractions. The schools from all points of the United States have very creditable exhibits, which bestow honor upon the teachers, as well as pupils. All the pictures of the teachers in the public schools were grouped in revolving frames. The work of Sumner high school was excellent. The manual training and domestic science work were especially attractive. THE SCHOOL BOARD. We Look for Fair Treatment in Madison, Ill. If there is any body of men that ought to be fair and honest it is the school board of every section of this country, where children are taught, and that in our public schools. The school board ought not to be dictated to by men who care nothing for our children, only to bring them to shame, by teaching them to visit dives and places where our young girls are led astray. We will look for the action of the school board in Newport, Ill., when the teachers are appointed for next year. Newport White People. We have the utmost confidence in the white and Colored people of Newport, Ill. We believe that they are for the right and we shall from time to time state the doings of the good people in that thrifty settlement. We will soon have a hundred subscribers in Madison, Ill., who will read The Palladium each week. We have a good agent in that place. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. Mrs. Siler, of Macon, Ga., a sister-in-law of Rev. Dr. Patillo, gave a most valuable and instructive address to the student body on Friday morning, April 29. For many years a teacher of English in Wesleyan college of Macon, Mrs. Siler is in full sympathy with college and student life, and both faculty and pupils will be happy to listen to her again. It is safe to say that not a word of the many beautiful thoughts uttered was lost. The regular monthly rhetorical programme was well rendered on Friday afternoon. The senior class gave an excellent entertainment at the Second Baptist church, on Friday evening, in honor of their class-mate, Rev. John Goins. There will be many attractive features in connection with the summer school of Lincoln institute. Circulars of advertisement will soon be out, and all the indications point to a very large attendance. Prof. W. E. Burkhardt Du Bois has been invited to give a course of lectures on History, and a prominent teacher of Boston will superintend the department of primary work, giving instructions in raffla work, etc. President Allen is receiving photographs of graduates, of their families, and of their homes, for the World's fair exhibit, and as a special feature of Lincoln Institute Day, July 19. Prof. J. S. Moten had charge of the Sunday afternoon service, May 1, and gave to an appreciative audience a very instructive address on "Obedience, Love, Truth." J. SILONE YATES. SUMMER AT HAND. Some months ago we called attention of the common "nigger" habit of showing their heads out of windows. We again call the attention of the Colored people on Lawton avenue and Pine street and Lucas avenue and between Jefferson avenue and Beaumont street, to act a little decent, as this will soon be a drive from Fourth street to the World's fair. Why not keep those heads in? Why will you still act and do like common "niggers do when a band of music passes in the street, or a few common "nigger" boys and girls make a noise in the street. Why will you show your heads out, talking from window to window? Why not be a little decent, and if you have not got good behavior instilled in your head, why not try and act like somebody? SOMETHING GRAND. Grand Musical and Literary Concert at St. James A. M. E. church, Corner St. Ferdinand and Pendleton avenue, Thursday evening, May 12, 1904. This promises to be one of the grandest concerts of the year. Under the management of Mrs. Georgia Harvey Mickey, assisted by some of the best local talent of the city. Come one; come all. Admission 10 cents. Under the auspices of St. Arena Club No. 8. Mrs. Rozena Lewis, President; Joseph Benning, Captain; Miss Genevieve Miller, Secretary; Rev. W. C. Williams, Pastor. At the Hall. At the Masonic Temple ball, Monday night, April 25, a few kids got in the hall, and a few rounders were sitting behind us, and they made more noise than a kindle of puppies. They had on about 15 cents' worth of clothes, 10 cents' worth of powder on their faces, and a big straw hat. God save the community from these senseless kids and rounders that invade the halls. $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 6 cents. uri. The Best Advent United States. est Advertising Medium in the J. B. J. McHENRY JONES. The First Baptist Church will be crowded May 8, to hear the noted visitors that will attend the annual sermon of the Odd Fellows. Prof. J. Mghenry Jones, of West Virginia; Hon. John C. Dancy, recorder of deeds, To some of the white race, the word "Negro" is the pivot on which the wheel of prejudice rests. Many efforts have been, and are as yet being used, to keep the Negro down, but we intend to come to the front just the same. The following poem gives some of their sentiments: To serve the present age, Our pockets we must fill; We'll make them work for wages, And never pay the bill. Arm us with jealous care, To make him know his place; And O thy servant Lord prepare, To rule the Negro race. Help us to rob and cheat, The Negroes on the sly; Assure if they don't vote for us, They shall forever die. Sang to the tune of white metre. W. W. P. Miss Madeline McKinney is singing alto in Antioch choir. We like to see young people work. Sunday-school teachers' meeting is changed from Friday to Wednesday evening in every week. It is hoped the teachers will attend. Antioch Missionary Circle will hold its regular prayer and praise meeting Wednesday, May 11. Meeting will open at 7:30 p. m., holding one hour, after which a short business meeting will be held. All members are dequeated to be present. Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel Howard, of 5432 St. Louis avenue, attended services at Antioch church, Sunday, May 1, at 11 a. m., and at the close of service had their little daughter, Catherine, blessed by the pastor. Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Howard, brother and sister-in-law, stood as Godfather and mother for little Catherine. Last Sunday morning, as the choir finished singing "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," the pastor, Rev. F. McKinney, took his place at the sacred desk, and, as he was about to announce his text, Rev. J. O. Edwards entered the church. Rev. McKinney asked him to preach, and, after some hesitation, Rev. Edwards accepted the invitation, and spoke very encouragingly. Every person prepared to accommodate in home or hotel, visitors to "The Fair" are requested to register their name and address with "The World's Fair Information Bureau." Address H. S. Ferguson, Mgr., care of "The Palladium." To Keep the Negro Down. A charge to keep we have, A Negro to maintain; A never dying thirst for power, To bind him with a chain. ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES. Washington, D. C.; Hon. W. W. Lawrence, of Newbern, North Carolina; Hon. Edw. S. Lewis, of Kansas City; Hon. Wm. Burton, of Columbia, Mo., and many others whose names we haven't space to mention, will be there. PAPER! PAPER! V. L.Walker is one of the best paper-hangers in St. Louis. If you want any work done, you will get him. 2636 Lawton avenue. A Successful Business Man. Rev. G. H. Warren, of Newport, has just returned home. He was here purchasing a supply of goods for his grocery and hotel. Our acquaintance dates back to 1890, since which time his business has rapidly improved, until now he has the largest hotel in Newport. He is a good Baptist minister. We wish him success. BRIDGETON NOTES. Quite a crowd witnessed the baptizing last Sunday at Bridgeton. If Christians would gain the influence of sinners, they must not hang around saloons. To be a race-pride people, indeed We must the St. Louis Palladium read. They tell me that the World's fair, Northwest of Forest park; On exhibition, no Negroes there, Because they come too dark. Mr. Henry Clay Chase, beloved father of Mrs. M. B. Allen, of 2623 Thomas street, died Sunday, May 1, at 10 a. m., 1904, after a long illness. He had reached the age of 90 years, 10 months and 15 days, and had been a Christian for 69 years. He was buried from Chamber Street Baptist church, Tuesday, the 3d. Rev. David Johnson, the pastor, preached the funeral, assisted by Rev. F. Christmas. Last Wednesday evening at 2 o'clock a fine luncheon was spread in honor of Mrs. Fields, of Chicago, who is stopping with Mrs. Thomas, of 624 North Beaumont street. She will remain till after the World's fair. The lunch was a surprise to her. All the good things of the season were set before that gathering of ladies. A good time was indulged in and a pleasant evening was spent, without the presence of a man—only one. Sandy Savington, of Kansas City, formerly of St. Louis, is quite sick, and has been for several weeks.

When asked as to the disposition of his $150,000,000, Russell Sage said the other day: "Wait until I am dead. There will be more than one person surprised." By 1919 there are to be 48 battleships in the navy, one for each state, so Arizona, Oklahoma and New Mexico must perceive that it is the intention to admit them by 1919 at least. The emperor of Germany is compelled to change his dress sometimes 12 times a day. He has $400,000 worth of clothing. He bears 100 titles and is an admiral in three of the biggest navies. There are no swear words in the Japanese language. The nearest one Jap can come to swearing at another is to call him a beast. After this probably when one of the mikado's subjects desires to be particularly abusive he will call the other fellow a bear. Edward F. Searles has nearly completed a fireproof school building which he has caused to be erected at Methuen, Mass., at a cost, with its furnishings, of about $500,000. He will present it to the town, and it is likely to be the finest building of the kind in that section of the state. Bryan and Hill were pitted against each other in the democratic national convention of 1896, and Bryan won. In the convention of 1900 Hill made a special effort to mollify and modify Bryan, and again Bryan won. Hill will turn up at the St. Louis convention as the sponsor for Parker. In the third encounter will Bryan or Hill prevail? There are afloat 13,381 seagoing steam vessels of over 100 tons. Of these Great Britain has 5,929, aggregating about 14,000,000 gross tons, while the United States has 846, aggregating little more than 1,500,000 tons. The merchant fleet of Germany is one-fifth that of Great Britain. The United States ranks third among the nations in amount of steamer tonnage and second in sailing vessels. Japan, with its long and irregular coast line 18,000 miles long, is particularly rileh in bays and harbors, both natural and artificial, which furnish sheltier for the shipping of all kinds. The "open ports," which formerly numbered only six (Nagasaki, Yokohama, Hakodate, Osaka, Kobe, Nilgata), have reached the figure 26; and the growing foreign commerce annually demands further enlargement. Ludovic Barnay, the famous German actor of villain parts, doubtless has had more experience in dying than most other members of his profession. He has met death on the stage something over 1,000 times, 314 being by suicide. About a dozen other modes of exit are mentioned in his recently published memoirs. By way of cheerful set-off against this wholesale decease, Herr Barnay was married 1,171 times, over half of his unions having been bigamous. Senator Hale, of Maine, seems convinced that the big modern battleship is a failure. "The lessons of war between Russia and Japan," he said in a debate in the senate recently, "thus far go to show the vulnerability and the unsafety of these immense and lofty battleships." Upon this ground he opposed the construction of any more of the big fighting machines by our government until the progress of the war in the far east shall have shown more fully whether they are worth what they cost. The Lewis and Clark centennial exposition company, which will hold its fair in Portland, Ore., in 1905, has just issued the first number of its official publication. Its name is the Lewis and Clark Journal. It will be issued every month until the close of the fair and promises to tell the country what the exposition company is doing, what it expects to do between this time and the opening of the fair in 1905, and to show the attitude taken toward the project by congress and the legislatures of the various states. There is great cheering in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and army officers drive past the czar's palace for several hours shouting. This cheering is pretty far away from where it can possibly do any good. We fear the Russian newspapers do not keep the Russian people informed; and the czar's government—which he hasn't a thing to do with—sees to it that they are not informed. The czar goes to the cathedral to pray for the success of Russian arms, and while he is praying there is a lot more very disastrous shooting around Port Arthur. City Water Service is Crippled in Kansas City, Mo. No Lives Were Lost, But Considerable Damage Done to Property -Illinois Central Tracks -Washed Out. Kansas City, Mo., May 6.—The rain-storm that ended Thursday was of extraordinary severity, its most serious result being the crippling of the city water service. A 30-inch main leading to the Turkey Creek pumping station was washed out, and another main, a 40-inch pipe, was bent. If this main gives way the water will be shut off entirely. As it is, much of the city will be without water supply, and the remaining portion has a limited flow. The street cars in the city were delayed on nearly all lines by high water on the tracks, and the new branch to the Elm Ridge race track suffered a huge washout, while 2,000 people were at the track. They straggled home afoot or in carriages. It is believed to be impossible to restore the railway in time for Friday's races, which will go on, however. At the Kansas river bridge, over which street cars cross the Kansas river between the stock yards district and Armourdale, is in danger, but is still intact. The Kansas river is above the danger line and rising. Electric lights are shut off in a large part of the city. A thousand people have been driven from their homes in Rosedale, Kas., and Kansas City, because of the overflow of Turkey creek. Eleven persons, nine of them women, were injured in a panic among the passengers of a crowded Independence electric car Thursday night. The controller on the front end blew out, and most of the passengers became panic-stricken. In a rush to get to the rear platform of the car the men roughly shoved the women aside, threw an aged woman to the floor and trampled her, and pushed others from the steps to the street below. Some of the men broke the glass in the windows with umbrellas, and jumped through the windows to the ground. John Downey, a laborer, was killed by lightning at the oil refinery in the east bottoms. The city hall, the Savoy hotel, and the building occupied by Swofford Brothers, wholesale dry goods company, were 'struck by lightning, but none of the buildings was seriously damaged. TORNADO IN IOWA. No Lives Lost, But Much Damage Done. Cherokee, Ia., May 6.—A tornado which passed through this county Thursday destroyed several houses and barns in the vicinity of Meriden. The buildings were totally demolished, but no lives were lost. A severe wind blew here during the progress of the wave that did the damage at Meriden, which is six miles north of here, but no damage was done in the immediate vicinity. Reports received at the offices of the Illinois Central railroad state that the tornado that struck Meriden swept a path 40 rods wide and a mile long. No lives were lost, and nobody was seriously injured. Following the wind storm, a small cloud burst struck north of Cherokee, doing considerable damage. Illinois Central tracks on the Sioux Falls branch were badly washed out, completely blocking traffic. Telegraphe and telephone wires were badly demoralized. LIVES LOST IN TEXAS. Impossible to Get Particulars, as Wires are Down. Fort Worth, Tex., May 6.—A special to the Record from Cisco, Tex., says: It is reported here that many people were killed and much property and live stock was destroyed by a tornado, just south of Moran, 18 miles north of here. Wires are down, and it is impossible at this time to get particulars. Relief parties can not start on account of the impasibility of the roads. At Moreland, in Shackleford county, several people are known to have been killed. A tornado is also reported in Baker county, near Weatherford, with lives lost. Damaging Hail Fell. Wichita, Kas., May 6.—A telephone message to the Eagle from Carmen, Okla., states that a tornado started at Helena and passed through Timberlake, extending to Alva. It cut a swath 16 miles long and one and a half miles wide, destroying crops and some buildings at Timberlake. Damaging hail fell in that section, but no lives were lost. The Lost is Found. St. Louis, May 6.—The furniture for the New Jersey building which was for a while lost in transit, has arrived at the World's fair grounds and is being installed, Mrs. George L. Wald, of Orange, N. J., has assumed her duties as hostess of the building. Father of Mardigras in America. New York, May 6.—Joseph Stillwell Cain, known as the father of the celebration of mardigras in this country, is dead here, aged 72 years. In 1865 he turned on the streets of Mobile the first mardigras parade. 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 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.

Beauty, Size and Sentiment of the World's Fair It Is Larger and More Beautiful Than Any Other Exposition Ever Given. THE EXHIBITION CENTRE. PALACE OF LIBERAL ARTS, WITH UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT BUILDING AT END OF LAGOON AT WORLD'S FAIR, ST. LOUIS. When President Roosevelt touched the electric key at the white house in Washington, which set in motion the machinery of the world's fair at St. Louis, he not only opened to the world the greatest display of the arts of peace the world has ever known, but he gave to the nation a fit climax of a century of growth of that vast territory west of the Mississippi—the Louisiana territory. When, at the swing of a lever, 90,000 gallons of water per minute was released to flow over the beautiful cascades in front of Festival hall, there was completed the most beautiful exposition picture the world has ever seen, a picture that will live in the mind of every visitor to the great fair. Chicago had its Court of Honor, its stately palaces set against a background of the blue waters of Lake Michigan; Buffalo had its wonderful illumination, its dusk of evening brightening into day again as the countless thousands of twinkling lights brought back the effect of the rising sun, but these pictures, beautiful as they were, have been surpassed by the glory of the cascades, the foaming waterway, rushing downward from the connades surrounding Festival hall, to the great lagoons, with their myriad colors, intersecting the wonderfully beautiful grounds in all directions. Just as this newest of expositions PALACE OF LIBERAL ARTS, WITH BUILDING AT END OF LAGOON surpasses all others in beauty, so, also, does it in size. One thousand two hundred and forty acres, literally covered with the treasures, the productions, the curiosities of the world, tell the story of the fair in a sentence. No one visitor will ever see it all, though he spent the full time the exposition is open at the task. An exposition which cost $50,000,000 before its gates were opened to the public; an exposition to which 52 nations from all corners of the world have sent their best for the people of the world to look upon; an exposition two miles long and one mile wide; an exposition that is twice the size of any other to which the public were invited; an exposition that is larger than the three previous large American expositions combined. Such is the exposition with which St. Louis celebrates the centennial of the Louisiana purchase. But the men responsible for the exposition do not wish that it should attract by its size alone. They have builted for beauty, as well as for bigness, and who can stand in the center of the great panorama without being aroused to a pitch of enthusiasm by the beauty that surrounds him? It is the beauty, rather than the size of the fair, that first appeals to him. Another thing that appeals to the American, the man who loves his country, is the sentiment the exposition stands for. It is a sentiment that is fully exemplified in the imposing heroic statues of the states that stand on either side of Festival hall. These statues typify, not the states of the east, but those of the west; the states carved out of the Louisiana territory, the states that stretch from the gulf to the Canadian border, from the Mississippi to Puget sound; states that have within a century of time been built out of the wilderness. It is for these the exposition has been built; it is these again that have made the exposition possible. The lesson they teach is written deep in the history of the nation. To attempt an itemized description of the wonders this exposition has brought to the doors of the people of the central west is impossible in the space of a newspaper article. Twelve thousand car loads of exhibits found space within the great palaces. It is almost impossible to realize what such a statement means until one has gone from building to building, from exhibit to exhibit. Nor is the space in the building wasted. Every niche is filled with something of interest, and the demand was for almost double the amount at the disposal of the authorities. Some idea of this may be had from the statement that the breakfast food manufacturers alone asked for more space than would have filled all the Agricultural building, covering 19 acres of ground, and with four miles of aisles. To pick even the more interesting exhibits is almost an impossibility, though among them might be men- tioned the largest pipe organ ever manufactured, with 145 stops and pipes five feet in diameter and 32 feet long; four acres covered with agricultural machinery; the largest natatorium on earth; ten acres of roses; ten acres of live game; the largest engines ever built; a floral clock covering a quarter of an acve of ground, and of which the minute hand weighs over a ton. Such items but give the general idea of the entire fair. It is all big, it is all beautiful, it is all interesting. The exposition management is not boasting of the "Pike." They wish the visiting public to remember the fair by what might be termed its legitimate portion, its wealth of educational exhibits, and yet, who would say that the shows along the "Pike" are not educational in their way. On it are villages of every sort, and amusement features of every description. Five million square feet of entertainment. Among outdoor shows, that are not to be confounded with those of the "Pike," may be mentioned the reproduction of the City of Jerusalem and the forty acres of Filipinos. Among the most interesting of the many features of the fair are the various government exhibits housed in the Government building which is 800 feet long by 250 feet wide. Every function of the government is exemplified in this building. Among these I UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AT WORLD'S FAIR, ST. LOUIS. exhibits is a complete government mint for the manufacture of coin, but at St. Louis Uncle Sam is making instead of coin gold souvenir medals, but the process is the same as if the product was legal tender. While Uncle Sam has a monopoly on the money-making business he guards the privilege jealously and does not risk the precious dies, which put their imprints upon dimes, dollars and eagles, to leave their place of keeping. Besides a modern coining press, from which drops a bright medal at every click, is a screw press built in 1795 and used at that time to stamp small coins. There is also a hammer 120 years old and a small pair of balances formerly used in the Philadelphia mint. Comparing these with the improvements made in the last 100 years reveals how much easier it is now for Uncle Sam to replenish his treasury than it was when he was young in the business. All of the machines used in the plant are driven by independent direct current motors, the power for which is transformed from 550 volts to 220: The gas for all heating operations, such as annealing, melting, etc., is manufactured by an independent plant situated outside the building, and so arranged that it can be controlled in the exhibit. These machines were designed and built especially for this purpose. First of the series of devices composing the plant is a furnace which supplies a heat of 2,000 degrees F. for the melting of metal alloys. Here the metal is cast into ingots and washed in a dilute solution of sulphuric acid to free the surface from copper oxide. The ingots are then run through the rolling mill and reduced in thickness from one-half an inch to eighty-five thousandths of an inch. This mill is operated by a 50 horse power motor. After rolling the strips are heated in the annealing furnace to soften them for the cutter. Processes used in the making of paper money are altogether different, for it is here that the printer and not the machinist and founder serves a usefulness. In another section of the big Government building at the world's fair there is a fully-equipped bank note printing plant. In the Palace of Transportation may be seen a full size section of the great tunnel which runs from Jersey City under the Hudson river, under New York city at Thirty-fourth street, and under the East river to Long Island, a distance of eight miles. It illustrates the tremendous work and millions of dollars expended upon one of the greatest engineering works of modern times. A great laboratory for testing the power, efficiency and economy of locomotives is also in this building. Locomotives will be under full steam and full speed in this laboratory, the greatest show of locomotive testing ever conceived and costing a quarter of a million dollars. --- NEWPORT HOTEL NEWPORT HOTEL 2521-25 Market Street In the Heart of the Colored Business District.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fine subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Caney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The People's Choice for President. Every Negro in St. Louis ought to read The Palladium. Why is it that some of our mail-carriers do not deliver papers in the rear? We are informed that they throw the paper in the yard, and the person to whom it is directed never receives it. "It is only a poor sort of happiness that could ever come by caring very much about our own pleasures. We can only have the highest happiness, such as goes along with being a great man, by having wide thoughts and much feeling for the rest of the world as well as ourselves."—George Eliot. "The source of nearly all the evil and unhappiness of this world is selfishness. We know it; but we still keep on being selfish. We see that the world might be made ideally beautiful if only all people would live unselfish lives; and yet we keep on being selfish."—Minot J. Savage. This week we have nothing from the A. M. E. conference that convened in Chicago last Wednesday. Next week we will get full news of the same. Much talk has been indulged in regarding Dr. D. P. Roberts being elected bishop. Let this settled the question—Dr. Roberts is not a candidate for bishop. April 25. At the Masonic Temple tall given by Onward Lodge No. 17, some of the members became indignant because there names were not mentioned in the article published last week. We would have them know that the paper is not run on a philanthropic plan. It is run for the money that's in it. If they want a write-up, let them pass over the change. SNOOKS. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. We hope every subscriber of The Palladium will settle up for their paper. We will see every person in the next two weeks. So get your money ready. J. W. WHEELER, ```markdown ``` THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY A. M. E. CONFERENCE The twenty-second quadrennial session of the general conference of the African M. E. Zion church convened at 11:45 a. m. Wednesday in Washington Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion church, 2625 Morgan street. The opening ceremonies began with Hayden's 'processional by the sulplied choir of Metropolitan church, followed by a devotional and song service. Bishop T. H. Lomax delivered the quadrennial sermon, taking for his theme: "God's Word Manifested in the Flesh." The speaker is one of the most noted pulpit orators of the Zion church, and his sermon was a graphic word picture of God's plan for the redemption of mankind. The morning session concluded with the administration of holy communion to the mem- Y. M. C. A. NOTES Hon John C. Dancy, of Washington, D. C., and Prof. S. G. Adkins of Press, of State Ind.

A. will hold its anniversary meeting at Central Baptist church, Rev. Stevens officiating. Public invited. The annual reports of past year's work will be given in full. 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. THE PALLADIUM WANTS ADB IF OUR TRUE FRIENDS WISH TO ASSIST US, THEY WILL SECURT ADB bers of the conference.

ER, Proprietor ONE DOLLAR WHEAT. Western Canada's Wheat Fields Produce It—Magnificent Yields—Free Grants of Land to Settlers. The returns of the Interior Department show that the movement of American farmers northward to Canada is each month affecting larger areas of the United States. Time was, says the Winnipipe Free Press, when the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa furnished the Dominion with the main bulk of its American contingent. Last year, however, forty-four states and districts were represented in the official statement as to the former residence of Americans who had home-steads in Canada. The Dakotas still head the list, with 4,006 entries, Minnesota being a close second with 3,887, but with the exception of Alabama and Mississippi and Delaware every state in the Union supplied settlers who, in order to secure farms in the fertile prairie country of Canada, became citizens of, and took the oath of allegiance to, the Dominion. Last year no less than 11,841 Americans entered for homestead lands in Canada. From the Gulf to the Boundary, and from ocean to ocean, the trek to the Dominion goes on. Not only the wheatgrowers of the central Mississippi valley, but the ranchers of Texas and New Mexico, and the cultivators of the comparatively virgin soil of Oklahoma, are pouring towards the productive vacant lands of the Canadian North-West. It is no tentative, half-hearted departure for an alien country that is manifested in this exodus; it has become almost a rush to secure possession of land which it is feared, by those imperfectly acquainted with the vast area of Canada's vacant lands, may all be acquired before they arrive. There is no element of speculation or experiment in the migration. The settlers have full information respecting the soil, wealth, the farming methods, the laws, taxation and system of government of the country to which they are moving, and they realize that the opportunities offered in Canada are in every respect better and greater than those they have enjoyed in the land they are leaving. Canada can well afford to welcome cordially every American farmer coming to the Dominion. There is no question but that these immigrants make the most desirable settlers obtainable for the development of the prairie portion of the Dominion. Full information can be had from any authorized Canadian Government Agent whose address will be found elsewhere. Common Sense a Worry Cure. I once asked a physician what cure he could suggest for the worrying habit. "I would prescribe common sense," he said, "and if a man or woman hasn't got a stock on hand and can not cultivate one the medical man is powerless." This worrying nonsense grows. The best means to cure it lies in the hands of the woman herself. If she will just call a little horse sense to her aid, resolve not to borrow trouble, to be cheerful and always think upon the right side of things, she will live longer and be able to retain her beauty. Every woman has the strongest desire to keep her good looks. Why then does she take the course which is sure to make her yellow skinned, dull eyed and thoroughly unloved? The English woman is greatly admired for her utter refusal to worry or to be worried. Consequently she looks young at 50. Undertaking no more than she can comfortably carry out, and firmly believing in the coming of another day, she does not procrastinate, but simply will not let the domestic machinery grind her down to ill health and an early old age. She is a frequent bather and regards health as the prime factor of life, to be looked after before everything else. She sleeps nine hours and also takes a nap during the day, arranging her work in the most systematic manner. Her little memorandum slip always shows two vacant hours—they are for rest. She eats heartily, but of the most digestible food, and would rather have a mouthful of good food and go partly hungry than eat a whole meal of cheaper things.—Philladelphia Inquirer. Urbanity and Suburbanity. Urbannity and Suburbanity, tinguished from the villager by his better manners? There was a time when urbanity was a natural product of urban life. That time, he thinks has passed. Nowadays, when man meets man in the city, it is in conflict, not fellowship. "We read sometimes of 'the social arena,' and when civilization has come to that it is vain to expect any politeness of a higher type than the etiquette of the gladiator." But from such strain upon the tender virtues the life of the countryman is exempt. "If a certain restfulness is an essential of good manners, if it is repose that stamps the cast of Vere de Vere, shall we turn to the city or to the village for this serenity of the true aristocracy? Urbanity being what it has become, the great problem of the future will be, not so much for lexicographers as for socialists, what is suburbanity going to mean?"—Herbert W. Horwill, in Harper's Weekly. "Did I understand you to say that you expect to hear Patti?" "Yes." "Can you afford it?" "No. I can't. I'm only going to do it out of sympathy. I may be old and dependent myself some time."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Joplin is bragging because that city broke the record by bringing 575 sinners into the church in 46 days, which makes a new record. But then think of the abundance of raw material they had to work on—Springfield Leader THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson in the International Series for May 8, 1904—Watchfulness— Temperance Lesson. THE LESSON TEXT 58. Let your loins be girded about, and your light's burning: 38. And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. 39. Blessed are those servants, who the lord when he cometh shall find watching; verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to shit down to the man will come forth and serve them. 40. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 41. And this know, that if the good man of the house had known . . . what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. 42. Be ye therefore also; for the Son of Man cometh at an hour when ye think now. 43. Then Peter said unto Him: Lord, speakest Thou this parable unto us, or even to all? 44. And the Lord said: Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 45. Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 46. Of a truth I say unto you, that he will serve you, and that he shall serve him. 47. But and if that servant say in his heart: My lord delayeh his coming; and shall begin to beat the men servants and maid servants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 48. The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbeliever. 49. The lord of that servant which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 50. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. For to whomsoever those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching — Luke 12:37. OUTLINE OF SCRIPTURE LESSON. Woes Against the Pharisees...Luke 11:37-54 Warnings Against Pharisees...Luke 12:1-12 Parable of Rich Fool...Luke 12:13-24 Exhortations to Watch...12:35-48 TIME.-November or December of A. D. 29. About four months before the crud-fixion. NOTES AND COMMENTS. "Let your loins be girded!" A Syrian even to-day is not "in commission," so to speak, without his girdle. The loose flowing robes make action of any kind awkward and difficult. "Your lamps burning;" The servants expected their Lord to return in the night. Without lamps they could not do their work, and that was the one thing in the world for them to do at that time. "Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when He cometh shall find watching." Not simply waiting, ready to do their duty, but doing it, and it was hard, too; let those who have done night watching testify. "He shall gird himself, . . . and serve them:" Because of His gratification over their faithfulness. What of the satisfaction God must feel in seeing such fine, alert faithfulness now? "The second watch:" The night was divided into four watches. "If the master of the house had known:" But he did not know; he never does and never can. The only way is to be ready all the time. "Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us:" There was no answer, but another question,—"Who then?" Answer for yourself. Notice that the wise stewart was faithful to his work; the reward for duty well done was more duty to do; more and higher work. The steward who was unfaithful because there was no one there to watch him made a great mistake. No one can sin with impunity whether he is watched or not. "Cut him asunder: A very strong expression; sometimes taken literally, but better figuratively "cut him up," as we should say, with terrific scourging (so Adeney and Bruce). "That servant, who knew . . . many stripes; but he that knew not . . . few stripes;" The ethical principle, seen before in these lessons, that men are judged, and rightly, according to their light. "Nothing can be duty, in the sense of morally binding upon us at any time, which we have not at that time the means of knowing. The idea of unknown duty, as present obligation, is an impossible one. The maxim that 'ignorance of the law excuses no one' is simply an expression of general expediency in the administration of human law. Still, it is not rigidly applied in any civilized society. Satisfactory proof of entire ignorance will mitigate or set aside the penalty. As a principle of morals the maxim is utterly false."—President Fairchild. God judges us according to our light. We are often to blame for not having found more light; but it is in that rather than in the act done as a result of our ignorance that the sin lies. The messenger boy who takes a valuable bundle to his own house instead of to the purchaser, because under the influence of liquor, is guilty in God's sight of what? Simply of putting himself knowingly into a condition in which he knew it was dangerous and therefore wicked to come. That was his sin; the rest was done as it were in his sleep. In the sight of the law, however, he is guilty both of drunkenness and theft. Terse Savings. The conquest of truth makes a man a king. Most people are caught by his trying to take the bait without the hook. Better a bare board with the blessing of God than His curse on a full one. Sin is a straight line away from God, and not a circuitous route back to Him. The most painful things about this world teach us the most precious things about another. Though life's labor leads us to turn many ways the compass of the soul turns ever to Christ.—Ram's Horn. Mary The letters of Miss Merkley, whose picture is printed above, and Miss Claussen, prove beyond question that thousands of cases of inflammation of the ovaries and womb are annually cured by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—Gradual loss of strength and nerve force told me something was radically wrong with me. I had severe shooting pains through the pelvic organs, cramps and extreme irritation compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor said that I had ovarian trouble and ulceration, and advised an operation. I strongly objected to this and decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I soon found that my judgment was correct, and that all the good things said about this medicine were true, and day by day I felt less pain and increased appetite. The ulceration soon healed, and the other complications disappeared and in eleven weeks I was once more strong and vigorous and perfectly well. "My heartiest thanks are sent to you for the great good you have done me."—Sincerely yours, Miss MARGARET MERKLEY, 275 Third St., Milwaukee, Wis. Miss Claussen Saved from a Surgical Operation. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—It seems to me that all the endorsements that I have read of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound do not express one-half of the virtue the great medicine really possesses. I know that it saved my life and I want to give the credit where it belongs. I suffered with ovarian trouble for five years, had three operations and spent hundreds of dollars on doctors and medicines but this did not cure me after all. "However, what doctors and medicines failed to do, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did. Twenty bottles restored me to perfect health and I feel sure that had I known of its value before, and let the doctors alone, I would have been spared all the pain and expense that fruitless operations cost me. If the women who are suffering, and the doctors do not help them, will try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, they will not be disappointed with the results."—Miss CLARA M.

An answer to an advertisement for a school assistant "capable of teaching the classics as far as Homer and Virgil" makes one of the best stories in the Dean of Bristol's recent book, "The Bean of Sirius." It also "with reference to the advertisement in the Times respecting a school assistant, I beg to state that I should be happy to fill that situation, but as most of my friends reside in London, and not knowing how far Homer and Virgil is from town, I beg to state that I should not like to read the classics, the Hammersmith or Hammersmith or Green or at the very utmost distance, farther than Brentford."

In the Fortnightly Review M. Max Nordau maintains the surprising thesis that success in creative literature can only be won by men who have no competing employments to divide their interests and impede the concentration of their brains. It is beyond doubt the dream of every man of letters to be able thus to insulate the electricity of his genius, but it is strange that M. Nordau should have overlooked the long list of those who have had other things besides literature to attend to and yet have produced work that lives. Shakespeare, the actor-manager; Milton, the lord protector's Latin secretary; Charles Lamb, the India office clerk, are only a few of the cases that he might have recalled. He should also have thought of Dickens, who was a reporter when his first imaginative work was written; Thackeray, who divided his time between fiction and work for the comic papers, and Charles Kingsley, who wrote "Westward Ho!" while a country parson, and M. Zola, who was Hachette's clerk when he wrote the "Contea a Ninon." The quantity of the work may have suffered in some of these cases from the author's alternative interests and duties, but it is hard to believe that the quality has suffered too. The rule, in short, if rule it be, is swamped by rather mere exceptions than even the rules about the genders in French grammars.—London Graphic. Can a Good Man Smoke? Since the publication of Dr. Lavendar's People (Harpers), Mrs. Margaret Deland is in constant receipt of letters whose writers regard Dr. Lavendar as a living reality. The other day one of the author's unknown correspondents berated her with vigor for having ever allowed Dr. Lavendar to smoke or occasionally take a drink. The writer blames Mrs. Deland altogether for this weakness of Dr. Lavendar and declares that she is sure the minister would never have done anything of the kind had not Mrs. Deland "made him do it several times, and I feel sure," continues the writer, addressing Mrs. Deland, "he would resent it if he could, without hurting your feelings." There could scarcely be a stronger testimonial to the living reality of a fictitious character, nor a more curious view of the relation between that character and his creator. SOAKED IN COFFEE Until Too Stiff to Bond Over. "When I drank coffee I often had sick headaches, nervousness and billious much of the time but about 2 years ago I went to visit a friend and got in the habit of drinking Postum. "I have never touched coffee since and the result has been that I have been entirely cured of all my stomach and nervous trouble. "My mother was just the same way, we all drink Postum now and have never had any coffee in the house for 2 years and we are all well. "A neighbor of mine, a great coffee drinker, was troubled with pains in her side for years and was an invalid. She was not able to do her work and could not even mend clothes or do anything at all where she would have to bend forward. If she tried to do a little hard work she would get such pains that she would have to lie down for the rest of the day. "I persuaded her at last to stop drinking coffee and try Postum Food Coffee and she did so and she has used Postum ever since; the result has been that she can now do her work, can sit for a whole day and mend and can sew on the machine and she never feels the least bit of pain in her side in fact she has got well and it shows coffee was the cause of the whole trouble. "I could also tell you about several other neighbors who have been cured by quitting coffee and using Postum in its place." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mica.

It may be said that although the robes depicted therein remind one somewhat of Japanese garments, the broad girdle, with its enormous knot at the back, which is found on the island girl's kimona, is not a part of the Korean belle's decoration, while the sleeves edged with deep white bands are much larger than those worn across the straits. The headdress, a most important part of the quaint outfit, is peculiar to Korean brides. Made of heavy cloth, carefully quilted and stiffened with a sort of canvas lining, it covers all except a very little of the hair and rises about a foot above the head. The large wooden pins at the back hold the head- KOREAN BRIDE IN BRIDAL GOWN. gear securely in place, the ribbon falling over the left shoulder being decorative only. Dressed in this costume the young woman who, since her parents have arranged all her marriage affairs, perhaps never has seen her future husband, is led before the priest for a ceremony which probably has no equal for simplicity. At a word from the priest the contracting persons bow to each other slowly and solemnly and—all is over! Then the bride goes home to await further orders, while the husband, gathering about him all his friends and acquaintances, departs for an elaborate feast, which he gives in honor of himself. Once married the bride's family identity at once sinks before her new name and she is never known except as Soand-So's wife. Her chief duty is to attend strictly to her own business, not speaking except when necessary. So firmly is this virtue impressed upon the young girl's mind that several months often pass before her husband hears his partner's voice, and where a father-in-law is one of the family whole years of almost absolute silence are said to elapse. Since the son has no say in choosing a wife or a daughter in choosing a husband, the parents are held responsible by the community for the proper marriage of their children. If a man allows his son to reach the age of 20 unmarried, his neighbors consider him sadly lacking in his duty to his son—Kansas City Star. JUST A WORD OF WARNING. Indiscriminate Kissing of Babies Is a Cruelty for Which There Is No Excuse. There are many mothers who give themselves infinite trouble about the big and obvious things connected with nursery management, who strive bravely to be up to date in the matter of plumbing, ventilation and infectious diseases, but who fail wofully when it comes to certain details. One of the most important of these is the disgusting and dangerous habit of allowing every comer to kiss and maul the baby. A baby, no doubt, is a delightful object and almost irresistible, but that is no reason why advantage should be taken of his helpless condition to offer him hygienic outrages. Mothers should know that promiscuous kissing is a bad and vulgar habit, productive of much danger to adults as well as to children. Adults can protect themselves if they like, but infants cannot, and so it is the duty of the mothers to protect them. I know of a case where a visitor left with a clinging kiss on the lips of a three-year-old girl the quick germs of mumps, from which the guest had just recovered. One's individual breathing apparatus may be precisely suited to his own use. But it may be that there lurks somewhere in his system something that would foul his neighbor's well of life were it directly conveyed into it. This conveyance the breath accomplishes more swiftly and surely than the hypodermic needle could do the work. These things happen daily and hourly, where indiscriminate kissing is tolerated.—American Agriculturalist. After a Shower of Rain. A shower of rain will often apparently ruin a silk dress or blouse. Before making sure that it has done so see what ironing it will do. Often the silk may be made to look quite new again by being ironed with a moderately hot iron on the wrong side. A piece of muslin laid over the silk prevents any chance of it being made shiny. A. Philosopher. Elder Dippen—Brudder Smiff, what fo' yo' alus a-singin'?

Boys and girls who are born in this country and imbibe a knowledge of its institutions and its geography with their everyday conversation have difficulty in passing examinations on them in school. It is little wonder, then, that the immigrants described in the New York Tribune have trouble with their examinations when they are asked, "How is the president elected?" one of them was asked recently. The applicant squirmed as if his memory was about to collapse. Then a gleam of intelligence came into his eyes and he said: "By a big a machiority." A native of Denmark, big-boned and flaxen-haired, was asked how many states there are in the union. "New York, New Chicago, New Boston, New Jersey, no more," he replied. On another questioning it was found that he had gathered that the name of the state was that of the town with "New" prefixed. Might Have Been Worse. "John!" whispered Mrs. Swackhammer, hoarsely. "John, wake up! In the base-moment-hear them—they're—they're working in the basement." casped Swack. He dived under the pillow and clutched his pocketbook, "What is it?" "B-b burglars!" chattered poor Mrs. Swackhammer. "Don't you hear them" "Aw, rats!" said Swack as he lay down and prepared for sleep again. "He scared me nearly to death. I thought it was plumbers."

Sick kidneys cause backache, languor, blind headaches, dizziness, insomnia and urinary troubles. To cure yourself you must cure the kidneys. Profit by the experience of others who have been cured. 1 Mrs. William W. Brown, professional nurse, of 16 Jane St., Paterson, N. J., says: "I have not only seen much suffering and many deaths from kidney trouble, but I have suffered myself. At one time I thought I could not live. My back ached, there were frequent headaches and dizzy spells, and the kidney secretions were disordered. Doan's Kidney Pills helped me from the first, and soon relieved me entirely of all the distressing and painful symptoms."

D., 334 Virginia St., Buffalo, N. Y., is a graduate of the University of Buffalo, class 1884, and has been in the practice of medicine in that city since then. She writes as follows: "My conviction, supported by experience, is that Peruna is a valuable preparation for all catarinal affections. I have taken one bottle of Peruna myself and just feel fine. I shall continue to take it."-Rachael J. Kemball, M. D. Peruna has cured thousands of cases of female weakness. As a rule, however, before Peruna is resorted to several other remedies have been tried in vain. A great many of the patients have taken local treatment, submitted themselves to surgical operations, and taken all sorts of doctor's stuff, without any result. The reason of so many failures is the fact that diseases peculiar to the female sex are not commonly recognized as being caused by catarrh. These organs are lined by mucous membranes. Any mucous membrane is subject to catarrh. Catarrh of one organ is exactly the same as catarrh of any other organ. What will cure catarrh of the head will also cure catarrh of the pelvic organs. Peruna cures these cases simply because it cures the catarrh. Most of the women afflicted with pel- CITY ST For all kinds and sizes of Store construction of Store Fronts.

The majority of the people think that catarrh is a disease confined to the head alone. This is not true. Catarrh is liable to attack any organ of the body; throat, bronchial tubes, lungs, stomach, kidneys and especially the pelvic organs. Many a woman has made this discovery after a long siege of useless treatment. She has made the discovery that her disease is catarrh, and that Peruna can be relied upon to cure catarrh wherever located. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

Wilhite has not written a line for The Palladium since the 17th of March, 1904. What has appeared in The Palladium since that time was written by the manager of The Palladium, and we alone are responsible for it. The character of the man, Fairchilds, and his manner of conducting a saloon have brought him before the public. He reported in Madison that he played the detective on The Palladium man in our office. A DAILY SCENE IN FAIRCHILDS DIVE This man Fairchild never met me in our office. We never shook hands with him—in our life. He met us on the street, and he wanted to find out something. I told him that we never give the names of our reporters. At last we charged him of being the man that the Globe-Democrat charged with a very bad crime in 1902. He admitted that he was, but he said that the Globe retracted and admitted that they made a false report. I then told him to look me in the face, for when a man talks to me I want him to look at me—when he did. I told him that he was telling a falsehood on the Globe-Democrat, for that paper never published things unless they know the facts in the case. I then told him that what The Palladium had published the manager was responsible for it. At this he said that he believed that William Wilhite had written the same. We wish to say that that man Fairchild is the most dangerous *man* in Newport, Ill., and the better class of Negro ladies and gentlemen ought to see that his place is closed up, and the white people that allow the place to continue are as guilty as the man Fairchild. Dr. Arthur, the post master at Brooklyn, Ill., is no better than the man in Newport, Ill. Next week we will give a pointed description of Fairchild and Dr. Arthur, the medicine man. Some years ago, in 1867-68-69, the carpet baggers weat south, and engendered bad feeling between the whites and the blacks. So it is with Dr. Arthur, the carpet bagger from Kentucky. He came to St. Louis and for his double dealing in the hospital work the other doctors run him out of St. Louis. He saw his end so he told a friend of his that he would soon leave St. Louis, that he would go to Brooklyn, Ill., where the Negroes did not know much, and in a few years he would have things his own way. It looked that way until The Palladium got on to his double dealing, and we are now opening the eyes of the Brooklyn people in regard to the once medicine mannow a saloon keeper, also post master. Not long ago he told a man if he did not stop reading The Palladium that he would see that he did not get it through his post office. All right, Friend Arthur. We will send his paper to the Venice post office, if you are going to stop his mail. We thought that the post office at Brooklyn, Ill., belonged to the United States, but if it is a private snap and Arthur's post office, we will send all of our mails for the Brooklyn people to Venice (Ill.) post office. We have in that village about 20 subscribers, in less than two months we will have 200 in that little vignage, where Julius Caesar rules as post master.

The girls nowadays think that dress, or what the kids call entertaining company, will win. That's all bosh, girls. Say, girls, the rounders that meet you on the street, and who always look tidy, the clothes on their back have not been paid for. Young girls between the ages of 10 and 16 years used to go to Sunday school. Now they go to club meetings Sunday afternoons. A young man that is always at balls, and wants to dance with every girl, will never make a husband. Something is light in the upper story. The young girl that is constantly on the street and at other people's houses, when she ought to be at home, will not make a wife. Young men who ought to be at home, are nowadays standing around corners and drug stores to get to talk to these would-be-women, and don't know who the girls are. Young girls used to go to church with their mothers, fathers and brothers. Now the girls play cards with boys and men on Sunday nights till 10 and 11 o'clock. Young men who are constantly waiting on school girls, and are porters in some saloon or hotel, had better get a cage to put the girl in after marriage, if they ever marry them. These club meetings of young girls, between the ages of 12 to 18 years, are no good, nothing in them but a chance to miss Sunday school or their home work. Some ten years ago our young men and boys went to school at 9 o'clock, Sunday morning, or at 2 o'clock p.m. and Sunday evening. Not so now. The young kids meet in what they call a club meeting.
