Circulated Among 170, MISS ALICE The Eldest Daughter of Preside WORLD'S FAIR JOTTINGS. The latest World's fair novelty in St. Louis is a mounted burglar. The National Congress of Mothers is holding its first sessions in the hall of congresses at the World's fair. Carrie Nation stopped off at St. Louis long enough Monday to denounce the World's Fair as a "carnival of the devil." Persons of almost every city and town in Texas were present to witness the dedication of the Lone Star pavilion Thursday. Secretary Flory of the World's fair national commission is receiving many requests for orders for half-fare tickets to the World's fair. The Woman's Humane society of Missouri will attempt to prevent the proposed cock fights in the Moro village at the World's fair. The Mississippi World's fair commission will send Gov. Vardeman to St. Louis to bring peace to the unsettled affairs in the state building. The military hold sway at the World's fair this week, and thousands of soldiers and militamen are to be seen on the Exposition grounds. A battalion of 220 cadets and 14 officers from the Culver military academy, Maj. L. R. Gignilliat, commanding, has arrived at the World's fair. After a conference the World's fair officials and the national commissioners agreed to extend the sale of half-rate tickets to the public in general until June 15. A statement of the attendance at the World's fair, last week, shows that there were 257,611 admissions, nearly 25,000 more than at Chicago for corresponding period. The Indiana building at the World's fair, which has been open for several days, will be formally dedicated on June 3, when Gov. Durbin and his staff will be present. The pond in Missouri's outside exhibit of forestry, fish and game has been stocked with about 150 catfish, crappie and a few large-mouthed bass. More will be added later. The Southern Methodists of the St. Louis district are going to investigate the morals of the Pike at the World's Fair, and have appointed a committee of four ministers for the purpose. More than 1,000 visitors and delegates attended the first session of the fourteenth annual convention of the Missouri Bankers' association in the Missouri building at the World's fair. Tuesday, June 7, has been designed as the time for dedicating the Alabama exhibit in the Mines building, at the World's fair, including t.e colossal statue of Vulcan in Alabama cast iron. An edition of 5,000 "Handbugelein" has just been issued by the German Methodist churches of St. Louis and vicinity, for the purpose of acquainting German Methodists generally with the World's fair and with the points of interest there and in St. Louis. A widow of 20 will be married soon. The daughter will be free-footed then. Oh, then happy times will come: They live on Lawton avenue. The Church Debt Paid. The First Baptist church at Bridgton had quite a success last Sunday in their rally, realizing the sum of $64.15. The mortgage against that church was paid off Monday evening, May 23, and the papers were turned over to the trustees. Some white friends gave their aid. Valuable Fielding, a little white boy of eight, donated $5. Since Rev. W. W. Perry's postoral work in that little town, he has labored diligently, both in church and Sunday-school work. He expects to preach a special sermon next Sunday at 8 p. m., relative to the success of the work accomplished. MISS LETTIE RICHARDSON Highly Pleased. Some of our subscribers, leaving the city, do not inform us of their going away. When they come back they tell us that we pay no attention to them. We will now inform them that we are not their private secretary, and if you can not inform us of your absence from the city we will not attempt to find out. We treat all of our subscribers right, and more we can not do. 4 $3,000 yearly income to you. Please read Scott Remedy Co.'s large ad. in this paper. There is something FREE for you. A NEW AGENT.

Stop that cough. Pickett's Cough Syrup. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1904. OUT IN FULL STRENGTH. Last Sunday the Order of U. B. F. and S. M. T. had their annual sermon, at Metropolitan church, for the first time in seven years. Not less than five hundred members turned out. Win. Rice, district deputy grand master, introduced P. G. M. C. H. Tandy, who acted as master of ceremonies, which he did with credit. Several members spoke. Brother Fields gave an account of the rise and progress of the order. "Hon." W. M. Farmer spoke at some length, going over the same ground that Brother Field had already covered. The climax was the address of Mrs. Rosie Cummings. She spoke in a clear and distinct manner, as follows: "Say one, I have read of a beautiful City, far away in the Kingdom of God; I have read how its walls are of Jasper, how its streets are of golden and broad; and in the midst of the streets is Life's river, as clear as a crystal and pure to behold, but not half of that city's bright glory to mortal has ever been told." "Man instinctively asks the question, 'Does this life end all?' In response the thundering corridors of his soul seem to reverbrate a mocking meaning 'no' to the oft-chorished queries, causing the agnostic and skeptic alike to say, 'There is a life beyond the range of human existence, a life of eternal joy, or eternal woe.' To feel that, after a life of usefulness and honor, falling asleep by Bryant says, 'Like the one who wraps the drapery of his couch inward umop soi puu muqo dreams.' "The rapid growth and extensive territory embraced necessitated the introduction of secrecy, for the protection of the order against intrusion and imposition. Secrecy only exists with us to know those who are worthy and will protect the order against those who would likely be hostile to its purposes. The growth of the United Brothers of Friendship, from the handful of 1881, to the strong body that it now is, has caused everyone to seem more determined to go forward in the good work. Grand lodges have adopted insurance systems. They embrace more good than I have time to mention, and will say it is another mode of assistance to the widows and orphans. On the death of a brother his wife and children are not left penniless or without the generous hand of friendship to their rescuer." At this point Mrs. Cummings explained and impressed upon the minds of those present the teaching of our order, so much so that many have entertained a better opinion of it. She held that vast concourse of people spellbound. Rev. Wakefield was then introduced and preached an able discourse. We noticed several noted persons present. We also were informed that Rice lodge wants to rule, and when it can not the members will not act. We wish to inform that lodge now, that they are not the only pebble on the beach. Capt. Tandy took The Palladium man off his feet, but after a few minutes he seemed to get up again. At the hall Monday night the order turned out in full, and a general good time was indulged in. Mrs. Mary Wilson and Maria Ubind were the persons that collected from the supper table. Of course, they were conspicuous and relieved many persons of their 25 cents for what they ate. Mrs. Lula Brunner, Octavo Mahony and little Celia Brunner were attractive. Mrs. Foggs and daughter enjoyed themselves. Oh, yes, we saw Miss Elenore Board, of 4023 Easton. She looked well, but the young men don't know how to approach her. You only have to get right. Mrs. Bevins, of 1416 Poplar street, and Mrs. Georgia Freeman, 2103 Franklin avenue, were acting as girls of 16. Mr. James Branch, the man who made all happy, suggested to us to take a smile with him, as did Prof. Holladum, of 2645 Market street. We did not object. Mrs. Hattie Williams looked pleased; also Mrs. Odell and Hyatt, of Electa Temple. Mrs. J. E. Brown, of 905 Kansas street, seemed to enjoy herself. William Rice and Capt. C. H. Tandy seemed to have things their own way, till The Palladium man appeared, then they all flocked to him. We were indeed sorry for them. But you know why they left them and came to us. HOMELAND NEWPORT AND MADISON, ILL. There is no use for a saloon keeper or his consort to think the Booker Washington Improvement league is dead, for it is not—nor need he fall out with his friends because they say Fairchild would never have assaulted a strong man as he did Wilhite, the Colored teacher. Was Fairchild practicing with his revolver last week up the railroad in order to meet The Palladium man or his ex-Newport correspondent? We have the utmost confidence in the good people of Madison, Ill., both whites and blacks, and we know that they will uphold the law. But there is one thing that we do not understand, and that is to allow that man Fairchilds to conduct a saloon in Newport, where young men and young girls are allowed to congregate. No city government should allow such a saloon as Fairchilds', and the one in Brooklyn, owned by the once medicine man, now postmaster and saloon keeper. We wonder if the government knows that one of its postmasters is a saloon keeper? ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES The young ministers' rally, Sunday, the 22d, was quite a success, and was very well attended. We hope this will encourage the young men to go forward and do more for the Lord. Rev. F. McKinney, pastor of Antioch Baptist church, attended service last Sunday morning at St. Paul A. M. E., but at 8 p. m. was at his own church, and after listening to a grand sermon by Rev. H. E. Turner, he announced that the church would have a grand rally the first Sunday in July. The members to be devided in clubs. He appointed captains of the clubs. To the Members and Friends—You are invited to attend the B. Y. P. U. every Sunday, at 6:30 p. m.

M., president Lane college, Jackson, Tenn., are the distinguished representatives of the Bishops' council and the general board of the C. M. E. church, who stopped with Mrs. W. A. Hawkins, 3940 Fairfax avenue.

They were well pleased, and they left a lasting impression upon the minds of others. Miss Georgia Ellen Sydnor and Mr. William J.

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-CALED 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.

A Large Crowd Was at the Union Station When the Young Woman Arrived. St. Louis, May 27.—Miss Alice Roosevelt, daughter of the president, is in St. Louis, where she will remain one week. This young woman, whom celebrity and adulation have left unspoiled, arrived at 1:40 over the Pennsylvania railroad, having come direct from Washington. A large crowd of sightseers were at the Union station when the young woman, attractively gowned in a traveling costume, stepped from the train. She was accompanied by Miss Alice Warder, of Washington. Miss Roosevelt was greeted impulsively by her St. Louis hostess. Miss Irene Catlin, who, with a girl friend, was in waiting. Miss Catlin led her guests to the carriage, and was driven to her home at No. 21 Vandeventer place, where a suit of rooms on the second floor had been prepared for the distinguished visitor, who is to be so highly honored socially in St. Louis. Flowers decorated the rooms in profusion, and a large painting of President Roosevelt, in military costume, faced Miss Alice Roosevelt as she entered from the hallway. Miss Roosevelt spent a quiet afternoon. At five she was entertained at a small garden party held on the large lawn of the Catlin residence. One hundred young ladies, all close friends of Miss Catlin, had been invited. There was a crowd of people at the Union station to await the arrival of Miss Roosevelt. She was heartily greeted by Miss Irene Catlin, whose guest she will be, and T. E. Catlin. Accompanying the first daughter of the land was Miss Warder, and also two mals. The crowd flocked towards the gates, everybody impatient and eager to get a view of the reception, and the officials in charge had great difficulty in restraining the bolder ones. According to the announcement, the train was to arrive at gate No. 11, but it seems that precaution led the officials to quietly change this to No. 9. When the party hove in sight, however, many saw through this ruse, and hastened toward the other gate. Mr. Catlin led the way, and acted as a sort of bodyguard and advance courier to make way for the guests, and the surging of the multitude became so strong that to reach the carriage the party hurried through the Midway on a little canter, and were hurriedly driven to the Catlin home on Vandeventer place. BRISTOW WAS NOT ROBBED St. Joseph Police Find the $11,000 Which He Claims to Have Lost in Chicago. St. Joseph, Mo., May 27.—Charles Bristow is under arrest here, and the police have found the $11,000 of which his brother, Alonzo Bristow, claims to have been robbed in Chicago last week. Alonzo Bristow had shipped horses from Bedford, Ia., and claimed to have been robbed while on the way to the station. The police have learned that instead of being robbed, Bristow turned the money over to Ray Richards, a young man whose home is in this city. Richards brought 'the money here and gave it to his father. Charles Bristow learned from his brother that the money was here and came here to get it. He threatened Richards and his father with a revolver. The elder Richards then placed the money in the hands of a lawyer and Bristow was arrested. The money has been turned over to W. E. Crum, the Bedford banker, who claims it, and Charles Bristow will probably be released. FILED BANKRUPTCY PETITION Boston Advertising Concerns Total Liabilities are Placed at Over a Million. Boston, May 27.—Pettingill & Co. an advertising agency of this city, which, together with its affiliated concern, the Dr. Greene Nervura Co. was compelled to suspend this spring, has filed a petition in bankruptcy in the United States district court. The total liabilities of Pettingill & Co. are placed at $1,217,975, of which $1,205,396 is represented as unsecured. The total is distributed among over 7,000 creditors, which are almost entirely newspaper companies, scattered from Bangor to the Pacific coast. About 250 of these creditors are secured to the extent of being preferred stockholders of the Nervura company. The assets are scheduled nominally at $30,787 in cash and $500,000 in accounts due, of which $270,000 is owed by the Nervora company. Despondency and Suicide. Sedalia, Mo., May 27.—D. W.

Columbia, Mo., May 24.—The United States department of agriculture, climate and crop bulletin of the weather bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending May 23, 1904, says: Unseasonably cool weather continued throughout the state until the 19th, but during the last three days of the week the temperature was above the normal. The precipitation exceeded 1 inch in some of the central counties, but over the greater portion of the state was comparatively light. In most sections of the state the rains of the 15th and 16th left the ground too wet to work during the first half of the week, but during the latter half good progress was made, as a rule, except in portions of the western sections, where farming operations were practically at a standstill throughout the week. In a number of the southwestern and a few of the southeastern counties corn is practically all planted, and planting is from one-half to two-thirds completed in nearly all counties south of the Missouri river, except a few of the west-central and extreme southeastern, where only a small acreage has been planted. North of the river planting is about half completed in some counties, while in others it has only just begun. For the state as a whole, about one-half of the crop has been planted. In a majority of the southern counties nearly all of the ground intended for corn has been broken, but in many of the central and northern counties from one-fourth to three-fourths is yet to be plowed. In the northern counties much corn will be listed. Much of the ground has been worked while too wet and is in poor condition for planting. There is much complaint that corn is coming up slowly and that the stands are poor, and a large amount of replanting will be necessary. Corn that is up has made slow growth, owing to the cold weather and wet and heavy condition of the soil, and is greatly in need of warmth and sunshine. Cultivation has been quite general in the southern counties, some fields having been cultivated the second time. Cotton planting has not been completed in the southeastern counties, and there is much complaint of poor stands. There is also considerable complaint that cotton is dying as a result of the low temperature and an excess of moisture. Some fields will be plowed up and planted in corn. Wheat has also been injured in some districts by the cold and wet weather and locks yellow, but in most counties it continues in fair to good condition. It is low heading in the central counties. Rye is in head and looks well. Oats continue very spotted; they have improved in some localities and deteriorated in others. The crop, as a whole, is below the average. Meadows and pastures have generally made good growth, but in a few counties old meadows are quite weedy. Potatoes and gardens are doing well in some districts, while in others gardens have made little growth and potatoes are a poor stand. Reports that apples are dropping to such an extent as to impair the outlook for that crop are becoming more numerous, and a few correspondents in the southern counties also report that peaches are dropping badly. Strawberries are ripening slowly and are much in need of warm, sunny weather. County Fair Dates. Secretary George B. Ellis of the state board of agriculture has announced dates for the Missouri county fairs. They are: Albany, August 16-19; Buneton, August 24-26; Columbia, July 26-29; California, August 30 September 2; Cape Girardeau, October 11-15; Carthage, August 23-26; Chillietoe, October 4-7; Cuba, September 13-16; Dexter, September 27, October 1; Harrisonville, September 6-9; Hermitage, August 30, September 2; Higginsville, August 2-5; Holden, August 9-12; Jacksonville, August 23-25; Joplin, July 4-8; Kennett, October 19-22; Lees Summit, September 13-16; Moberly, July 19-22; Nevada, July 12-15; Oran, October 5-8; Platte City, August 30, September 2; Palmyra, September 14-17; Paris, September 6-9; Rich Hill, August 30, September 2; Sedalia, August 15-19; Trenton, September 6-9; Warrensburg, September 13-16; Washington, September 1-3. Cole County Farmer Drowned. Herman Peper, a farmer of Mill Brook, Cole county, was drowned while attempting to ford a swollen stream. He was powerless in the swift current. Harry Geer Dead. Harry R. Geer, the well-known manufacturer of motorcycles and bicycles, and at one time champion bicycle, of Missouri, died at his home in St. Louis as the result of a collision with a milk wagon. He sustained a fracture of the nasal bone, and a small piece pressed on the brain. Negro Boy Mangled. While playing in the Iron Mountain yards in St. Louis, Henry Britton, a 19-year-old negro boy, was struck by a freight locomotive, and both legs and the left arm were severed. Charles Blanton and Dr. J. B. Ver- Woman Is County Treasurer. Term of Court. In the federal court in Hannibal, with Judge Rogers, of Arkansas, on the bench, the cases of Charles Blanton, of the treasury department at Washington, and his cousin, Dr. J. B. Vernon, of St. Louis, against whom eight indictments were returned by the grand jury in January for alleged bribery in connection with the selection of post office sites in the cities of Louisiana, Kirksville, Moberly, Columbia, Nevada and Joplin, Mo., were continued until the December term. The continuances were granted at the instance of the government, and are said to have been brought about by the unearthing of additional evidence alleged to show that the operations of Blanton and Vernon not only embraced the cities of Missouri, but assumed a broader scope and extended into Arkansas. It is not the intention of the government attorneys to take the cases to trial until all evidence is thoroughly sifted. Veteran Dead at Sedalia. Stephen Henry Olmsted, who was born in Jersey county, Ill., in 1839, served in the confederate army, and, at the close of hostilities, accompanied Gen. Joseph Shelby's command to Mexico, died at Sedalia of Bright's disease. During the civil war Olmsted was captured and was being taken to Alton, Ill., for incarceration in the military prison, with a ball and chain on him, but, while the train was moving, jumped from a car and escaped in the brush. He filed his chains in two and escaped. Since 1874. Olmsted had resided in Sedalia. He leaves five children. Giled Rails Stopped Train. A fast Chicago & Alton passenger train arrived at Mexico considerably late as a result of a prank played by thoughtless persons between Louisiana and Bowling Green. At that point, coming west, there is probably the heaviest up-grade in the state. The rails had been oilled for a considerable distance, causing the engine drive wheels to spin uselessly. The train came to an abrupt stop, and was delayed for more than a half hour, while passengers and train crew plastered the oiled rails with sand and dirt. Dunkards Change Name. The Dunkards, or the German Baptists of the United States, convened in annual conference at Carthage, with over 100 delegates present. One of the first acts of the conference was the adoption of a motion to change the name of the organization. Hereafter they are to be known only as German Baptists, and not as Dunkards. Was Mayor of Carondelet. Was Mayor of Carondelet. The funeral of Michael Chartrand took place from the family residence, 3903 Evans avenue, St. Louis, on May 20. Mr. Chartrand was mayor of Carondelet when that town was a rival of St. Louis. He was a member of one of the old French families, his ancestor having accompanied Laclede to St. Louis. Engineer Killed in Wreck. A passenger train and a refrigerator train collided head-on near Piedmont, on the Iron Mountain. Andrew Kelth, the engineer of the freight train, was killed, and two passengers were seriously injured. A misunderstanding of orders is given as the cause of the wreck. New Corporation. A charter has been granted the United Water, Gas & Electric Co., of Sedalia, with $1,000,000 capital. The company has consolidated Sedalia water, gas and electric companies. World's Fair Visitor Victimized. St. Louis county crooks robbed a World's fair visitor of $300. He refused to bet on a "three-card monte" game, and was then held up by thieves, who posed as officers. Ended His Earthly Career. Alfred S. Keady, credit man for the John Deere Plow Co., committed suicide in his room in a hotel at Studt's park, adjoining Creve Coeur lake, in St. Louis county. Indians Up-to-Date. Visitors are surprised by formal social customs prevailing among some of the Indians at the World's fair. One chief uses a bank book and visiting cards. Vandiver on Good Roads. Addressing the Good Roads convention in St. Louis, Congressman Vandiver said the question of better highways should be made a political issue. Pioneer Builder Passes Away. Orlando Fish, a pioneer contractor of St. Louis, died of bronchial pneumonia. He was 76 years of age and had lived in St. Louis for 50 years. Medical Association Adjourns. After a reception at the Missouri building, World's fair, the forty-seventh annual meeting of the State Medical association adjourned. Beer Keg Fell on Her Head. Rose Calcaterra, aged 7, was fatally injured in St. Louis by being struck on the head by a beer keg, which fell from a second-story window. 2601 LAWTON AVENUE N. W. Cor. Jefferson and Lawton Aves.

Lawrence, of 3944 St. Ferdinand avenue, is the Reporter and General Solicitor for the st. Louis Palladium. The St. Louis Palladium is sold at the following places: EVEEN POINTERS FOR THE READING AND ADVERTISING PUBLIC. (1) THE ST. 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) Morebona fine subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The People's Choice for President. Every Negro in St. Louis ought to read The Palladium. "The Good Old Summer Time." The good old summer time is at hand. The old fad of bicycle riding has begun. The girls tell their mothers that they are going to church, or to a friend's house, and slip around the corner, hire a man's bicycle, and proceed to take in the town. Some are so brazen that they go on streets where decent girls shouldn't be seen. If they are not racing around town, they hang over front fences, talking to bootblacks and saloon porters. Why not be a little more dignified? Nigger heads and window warmers. —They can buy cheap pillows to lay in the window, on the levee near the river. When they go down to buy them, they should go in the river and stay. Lawton avenue, Pine street, Lucas avenue, and Morgan street don't want you. You are not the kind of people that enhance good society. We want 1,000 new subscribers. We want 100 advertisements. We want 100 correspondents in that many different towns. We want cash for both paper and advertisements. We want friends. We want peace. We want protection for ourselves and our people. Can we get this?—Nashville Palladium. The St. Louis Palladium likewise. It cost Carrie Nation $50 to find out that President Roosevelt is not a user of tobacco in any form. Visit the Fruit Stand at the True Reformers' hall, kept by Mr. Tom Ervin and sister. The Madison club, June 6, on the Corwin H. Spencer. Don't forget to go.

Mrs. W. N. Miller, of Wichita, Kas, will visit St. Louis soon, to see the World's fair. The Newport cafe is crowded day and night. Don't forget to go there. It is up-to-date. Mr. George Hood, of 2617 Wash street, is quite sick. We hope for his early recovery. Mr. Lewis Piper, of New Orleans, La., is visiting his aunt, Mrs. C. Currie, of 3326 Franklin. Mrs. D. Hutchinson, of 4002 Finney, is quite ill, as is her husband. We hope for their recovery. Mr. E. C. Smith, of Nashville, Tenn., is visiting the Hyatt sisters, also Mrs. C. C. Lewis, of 4026 Lucky street. Miss Nada Underwood, of New York, is entertaining her cousin, Miss Willis, of New York, at 2635 Lucas avenue, St. Louis, Mo. Mr. C. G. Garrett, a veteran Pullman car porter, was in a wreck a few days ago. Came near passing in his check. He is better now. Miss Cora Smiley, who lived at 3117 Clifton place, has gone elsewhere. Yet she gets the Palladium. We would like to know her whereabouts. Mrs. M. B. Carruthers, royal grand matron of the Eastern Star Chapters, left the city, Tuesday, May 17, for an extensive tour of the state. Prof. George Murray, of Baltimore, Md., has been appointed organist of the Central Baptist church. Well done. We congratulate the church. Mr. A. L. Brown was at the U. B. F. and S. M. T. entertainment, last Monday night. Oh, you ought to have seen him! The ladies were always after Mr. Brown. Mrs. W. B. Williams has just returned from her tour of the south. She is looking well. She will soon move to New York to settle down. We wish her success. Mrs. Eckmels, of 3723 Rutger street, died May 13, and was buried from St. James's church, 4212 Papin. She leaves two daughters, a son and three brothers to mourn her loss. Some young misses on Finney avenue are bragging because their club meets on Saturday. We would suggest that they find more profitable pastimes than attending club meetings. Chilles, of Natchez, Miss., visited Mrs. A. M. Allen, of 1519 Pine street, while in our city. They attended the quadrennial conference of the A. M. E. church. They are on their way home. Lina Temple, No. 124, of S. M. T. meets the third Tuesday in each month at 8 p. m., at K. of P. hall. Mrs. Mary Beivans, W. P.; Mrs. Rosa Cummings, W. Sec., 1118 N. Twenty-second street. Mrs. Willetta Torrence, of 2925 Bell avenue, was granted a divorce from Frank Torrence, on the grounds of cruelty, on Monday, May 16, 1904. Her malden name was restored. Some unknown person threw vitriol in Mr. Sexton's face. He is now in the hospital. We are sorry, to hear of this. Mr. Sexton is, we believe, a Christian gentleman, and the persecution of this act means much. Sexton's Garden, 2605 Lawton avenue, is now open to the public. First class in every respect. Good for social and church parties. The best of order. Don't fail to consult Mr. Sexton before securing grounds elsewhere. Mrs. Narcissa Phillips, the daughter of T. H. Phillips, of Keokuk, Ia., has been visiting Mrs. Carrie Stevenson, of 2221½ Walnut. She has been here since the death of her daughter, Mrs. Ophelia Benton. She will remain until October. On Wednesday, May 25, 1904, Frank L. McElroy purchased, through Lawyer Joseph A. Smith, a 7-room brick house, with slate roof, Queen Anne style of building, with all modern improvements, including large reception hall, water, bath, etc., for the sum of $3,500 at 4006 Labadie avenue. Reverends J. W. Watson and O. H. At 906 Swan street there is a widower, and nearby two widows. One has property and stands high in the estimation of all. The other one has plenty of money and stands equally as well, but the iron merchant wants money. What will he do? Will he induce the lady with property to sell, and get the money, or will he keep them both aguessing. June or July will tell. 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, SOUTHERN AND WESTERN PALLADIUM—HOW WE AGREE. The Palladium is the oldest Colored paper in the south.—Nashville Palladium. Yes, but The St. Louis Palladium is your twin brother, and is the best and oldest in the west. The Palladium is here to stay. We solicit your subscription.—Nashville Palladium. The St. Louis Palladium has no notion of leaving. The Palladium puts something in each issue and don't give a snap whether it suits you or not.—Nashville Palladium. Good. The St. Louis Palladium has done the same. The Palladium has no money, it never made a dollar. Still it is not for sale and is not begging.—Nashville Palladium. Same here. Our prayer is! Give us this day our daily bread." We have nothing for to-morrow. The republican party would not count on the Palladium for just reasons.—Nashville Palladium. We differ here, brother, for we carry the republican banner, and it alone. We walk it, we talk it, we eat by it, sleep by it, live by it, and we expect to die by it. The common Negro in his argument against the Palladium says it is a white folks' paper. That's a lie; it's a Negro paper, pure and simple.—Nashville Palladium. The St. Louis Palladium is also Colored. One issue of the Palladium contains more common sense and solid, cold facts than every Negro paper in Nashville out together gets up in a year.—Nashville Palladium. One issue of The St. Louis Palladium calls bad men and women by their full name—John, Jack, Bill, or Sally. To keep out of these columns is to do right. The people want this, for they say so. Throw some more over here, brother. They ain't so warm. The St. Louis Palladium is the HEATER. The little street corner knots of Negroes, who stood around and ridiculed the Palladium, are some dead, some in the penitentiary and others have come to their senses and are admitting that the Palladium is a great messenger of truth, even if it kills.—Nashville Palladium. The St. Louis Palladium has about driven this gang out of St. Louis, Mo. According to the new directory, just issued, the resident population of St. Louis is now 693,675. MR. GUY WILLIAMS.

A BLIND CHRISTIAN Gentleman Who Conducteda Barber Shop 1526 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 net him $2\frac{1}{2}$ cents on every Palladium that he sells. Remember, gentlemen and ladies, we have got 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.

HARRIS 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. A New Rooming House. Mrs. Mary White has fitted up a new rooming house at 200 South 14th street.

Don't fail to give her a call. She will give general satisfaction to her many guests. Remember her number—200 South 14th street. A New Club House. At 713 North Sixteenth street, has just opened its doors to its members in full. Gen. Ries is the president, and Mr. Tom J. Holland treasurer and manager, and W. A. Ashley secretary. These three gentlemen are well known, and the club will, we believe, prosper. The rooms are fitted up in the most elegant style. Some time ago we stated to the public that Gen. Rice was the most stylish gentleman on that street, and all admired him. So it is with Ashley and Holland. So if you want to spend a good time, to this place and enjoy yourself, at 713 North Sixteenth street. Dr. T.A. Curtis FOR SALE—Horse and buggy, at 2801 Manchester. Call. A good bargain.

Channing Avenue MEMORIAL DAY THE WARCERS (MEMORIAL DAY, 1904) How few are the marchers who battled in blue! Scarce enough left to-day for a decent review, But a remnant of glory, they march through the lines To the crowds of their comrades who sleep, neath the pines; The crowds in the villages in silence look on, It seems but a moment, the marchers are gone, And the half-muffled drums softly beat a tattoo For the last of the gray-bearded marchers in blue. They dream, these old men, of the days that are fled When the bolls of the battle unceasingly speed, Of the troops and their march and their soldiers foray, Of the long, stubborn lines of the roemen in gray; They hear as they march with a welcoming thrill The cannon that growled on the thirteen hill, And again in the dust at the end of a tramp, They guard "neath the heavens the slumbering camp. To-day there is rust on the swords that they drew, And faded and old are their garments of blue; The ordeals sing in the shud-riven tree, And Potomac sweeps peacefully on to the sea; But the marchers still start at the sound of the drum, And back from life, "visas there seeth to coms The roll of the battle from fields far away Where once, with their comrades, they fronted the Gray. For them is the glory that never shall fade, The wreath has been hung on the musket and blades, From ocean to ocean the star-sifted dew Falls soft on the great silent camps of the Blue; They've set the seet and its wounded again, And see in their visions the war-aunted tail; They're waiting for "taps" and each lovingly twines A wreath for some comrade who sleeps "neath the pines. A wreath for the living who form yet the lines, A rose for the comrades who rest "neath the pines; The marchers are marching in time-honored blue, On, on to the field of God's mercy review; The river that sights to the oceans after; Bear outward their fame to the uttermost star, And ended will soon be the last marcher's tread In the love-girdled camps of Columbia's dead. Love, love for the men who are marching to-day Bedecked with the sweet, tender tributes of May; They followed the flag thro' renown and defeat And laid trust in the Columbia's feet; Ah me! as the marchers sweep silently by New glory invests the proud flag in the sky, Though soon will the last of the old battle lines Be lost in the camps in the shade of the pines. T. C. HARBAUGH. NE reads that of all the brave men who composed the gallant army of the war of 1812-15, there is but a single survivor, a man now more than one hundred years old, soon himself to die. O Much more than a generation has passed since Lee met Grant at Appomattox, and more than one-half of the heroes of the armies of 1861-65 have gone to their long homes. The youngest of those who remain have gray in their hair and beard, and springiness no longer is in their step. Each year shows diminishing numbers, and before a generation more shall go by not a score will remain of the more than 2,000,000 who enlisted under the union flag during the civil war. It is sad indeed to witness the steady aging of the many, the steady falling from the ranks of those touched by death. It is difficult to identify the bent forms and unsteady step of these veterans with the gallant youths, full of the fire of living and impulsed by patriotic fervor, who charged the precipitous wall of Lookout mountain and passed through the seething hell of the Wilderness. Ah! brave soldiers were these, who met in saber charge, or with bayonet thrust, men equally brave. What a pity they might not have continued ever young, the ensemble of sturdy manhood, in whom hope runs high, and the promise of the future is as gold for richness. Yet, after all, theirs is the lot of all humanity; to gradually grow older and finally to be lost to sight forever. But though man be mortal, the deeds of man are immortal. And though these men show age and decay, their deeds are fresh as if performed but yesterday, and they will continue green in man's memory so long as heroism is a supreme virtue and patriotism remains loftest of sentiments. The nation sets apart a day of each year in which to recite to a generation that has come after, the deeds done by these heroes and the principles for which all risified their lives and for which so many gave up their lives. The graves of the dead are decorated with flowers. Those who are living hear each returning Decoration day the nation's estimate of their services prolonged through four years of almost ceaseless carnage. The conflict was irrepressible and unpreventable. The wisdom of Washington, Hamilton, the Adamses, Jefferson and Madison could do no more than put off the evil day. Whether this is a nation or a mere confederacy of states could not be settled by any argument, or debate, or compromise. It was one of those terrible knots that might be cut only by the sword. These soldiers of 1861-5 were called upon to settle what the fathers of the country and the mighty statesmen who followed after were unable to arbitrate. Manassas, Antietam, Gettysburg, Shiloh, Chickamauga and Appomattox were inevitable. It required long wars and a "thousand battles" to prove that this is a nation and not a compact of states. If Washington and his associates gave us a free country, then soldiers of Spotsylvania and Petersburg gave us a nation that shall not perish from the face of the earth. It is in no spirit of the bitterness that marked other days that these words are written. Those who fought with the south fought honestly, as they fought fairly and bravely. They had the teachings of Henry and Jefferson and Madison and Burr to confirm and establish their faith. The conflict had to come, and peace and kindly feeling also for those fought against the union. The facts of history, though, are incontrovertible, that upon the endurance, the courage, the daring and the patriotism of the union soldiers of 1861-5 hung the fate of a mighty nation. God bless them! in that they fought long and well. God bless them! that they counted no hardship too great, no peril too hazardous. May they ever be held in honor in that each one, according to his station and opportunity, acquitted himself nobilly. Time does his work and it is given unto all men to die. But the veterans of 1861-5, though the last one of them pass away, have achieved an immortality of fame through the greatness of their deeds. Hall, then, and welcome Decoration day! And when it comes and comes again, let the story be told to the children and the children's children, how this mighty war won an enduring peace to the land. Honor to the veteran living; enduring gratitude and tender remembrances for those that are dead. WILLIAM ROSSER COBBE. The Dear Old War Songs. How strong is their hold upon us—those old war songs of the sixties, and what a part they take in our national life. Other songs have swept the country, have been sung by millions of voices, played on uncounted pianos and ground out by untiring hand organs—then forgotten! Only the old songs which were sung around a thousand camp fires; which were chorused by trembling voices as dear ones marched away "to the front;" which were chanted as long blue columns swept into action, only these survive through the years. The least musical of us hum their soul inspiring strains, and what grand anthems they make arising from a thousand throats! We have known them from our cradles; we will know and love them to our graves, these splendid, gallant old songs. Death Rate Is Increasing. Many years ago the statisticians of the pension office made careful calculations to show the number of survivors of the civil war for a series of years. They used as the basis of their calculations the mortality tables of the insurance companies, but were far out of the way. The old soldiers are dying off more rapidly than was expected. According to the estimate, the total number of survivors in 1902 should have been 930,380, while the pension rolls showed only 725,100. To the latter number should be added two or three per cent. to cover those who have never applied for pensions.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will make every mother well, strong, healthy and happy. I dragged through nine years of miserable existence, worn out with pain and weariness. I then noticed a statement of a woman troubled as I was, and the wonderful results she had had from your Vegetable Compound, and decided to try what it would do for me, and used it for three months. At the end of that time I was a different woman, the neighbors remarked it, and my husband fell in love with me all over again. It seemed like a new existence.

The very word Pic-Nic brings pleasant anticipations of a good time. The idea of going out to the woods and fields or down by some brook or lake, with lunchon to be served on the grass, under the trees, has a peculiar fascination. Under the trees, has a peculiar contribution to give a fresh air and exercise contribute to give a fresh appetite to all and everything at lunchon to be better than the finest course dinner than French chef ever served. Wooden dishes supplant Dresden china, and paper boxes silver trays, when the "good things to eat" as spread upon the ground. Pic-Nics are never complete without the sandwiches, sweet white bread with a generous layer of meat between. Libby's canned meats are ideal for pic-nics and the cans are so easily opened, and the cans are so fresh and palatable, that no pic-nic is necessary without Libby's "Natural Flavor" Food Products.

A Women run down and endure daily tortures through neglecting the kidneys. Kidney backache makes housework a burden; rest is impossible; sleep fitful; appetite gives out and you are tired all the time. Can't be well until the kidneys are well. Use Doan's Kidney Pills, which have restored thousands of suffering women to health and vigor. Mrs. William Wallace, of 18 Capitol St., Concord, N. H., says: "I was in the early stages of Bright's Disease, and were it not for Doan's Kidney Pills, I would not be living to-day. Pain in the back was so intense that at night I had to get out of bed until the paroxysm of pain passed away. I was languid and tired and hadn't the strength to lift a kettle of water. I could not work, but a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me, and two boxes absolutely cured me."

PLACE.—Jerusalem, at this time full of pilgrims come to the Passover. "On the first day of unleavened bread." week; the 14th of Nisan, which fell this year on Thursday (April 6). Only bread made without yeast was eaten by the Jews during this week. "The disciples came to Jesus:" During the day, Thursday. "Where wilt Thou that we make ready . . . the Passover:" Perhaps the disciples knew that Jesus had planned for the Passover, but they certainly did not know what His plans were. He did not tell them now, but sent two of those who were nearest Him to a certain street, where, by a previous arrangement, of which they had not known (Mark 14:13-15), they were to be met by a man carrying a pitcher of water—an unusual sight, for the women usually carried the water; he would know them and without speaking to them, or apparently joining them, would lead them to the appointed place. Jesus knew there were plots against His life abroad in Jerusalem, and that there was a traitor among the disciples. Precautions were wise. He did not wish to avoid the inevitable end, but His heart was set on this last quiet evening with the disciples. The little company gathered in the upper room at about dusk and took their places upon the couches, which extended around three sides of the low table. Matthew speaks of their "sitting" at the table, but the word is misleading. Leonardo da Vinci's painting, the "Last Supper," is a most interesting study of the scene, but the painter had been misled into making the company sit at the table as we do. They did not sit, but reclined. Between verses 20 and 21 read (1) the words of Jesus, Luke 22:14-18; (2) the contention as to who should be greatest, Luke 22:24-30; and (3) the washing of the disciples' feet by Jesus, John 13:1-20. The Passover meal consisted of unleavened bread, bitter herbs, wine and a lamb. This feast commemorates the escape from Egypt, and was the "Independence day" of the Jews. "As they were eating, He said:" John adds, "He was troubled in the spirit." The awfulness of the strain of the last 24 hours of Jesus' life we can hardly imagine. "One of you shall betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowful:" Each one questioned himself, though no one but Judas meant to betray Him. Each one knew his own weakness. "He that dipped his hand with Me in the dish:" "Knives and forks and plates for each guest were unknown. The food was piled in a great circular dish, over it was poured the broth, and the guests, with their fingers, dipped a piece of meat or of barley cake into the broth and thus ate it."—Peloubet. At this point read John 13:23-30, which tells of Judas' leaving the room. At last the Master and His true friends were alone. "Jesus took bread, and blessed;" That is, blessed God for it, or, as Luke puts it. "When He had given thanks." "This is My body:" This stands for, symbolizes. My body, Myself. When His disciples ate bread they were to think of Him. "And He took a cup, and gave thanks;" Though the cup was a symbol of the life blood He was to pour out. He could give thanks for it. "The covenant:" Look up Ex. 24:5-8. Jer. 31:31-34 and Luke 22:20, in this order, for explanation. It was a covenant between God and men. "Poured out for many unto remission of sins:" This states Jesus' purpose in living and dying; history from that time to this testifies to the marvelous effectiveness of that life and death. Jesus came not to save men from punishment, but to save them from deserving punishment—to save them from sin. Luke adds here Jesus' words, "This do in remembrance of Me." It was a suggestion and request the spirit of which loyal followers of the Master will always observe with reverence and love. It is one of the sacred rites of our religion. It is the spirit, not the form, in which the significance of any rite lies. "I shall not drink henceforth," etc. "Referring to his immediate death, and expressing His faith in a triumphant kingdom."—Burton and Mathews. Jesus' farewell discourses are found in John 13:31—16:33 and His intercessory prayer in John 17. The hymn that was sung at the close of the Passover feast was Ps. 105-108 SENTENCE SERMON. Home-made yokes are always heaviest. A cheap religion never made a valuable character. Sin in itself is to be dreaded more than its consequences. It is easy when you have a seat to tell the other man how to stand up. It is no use talking about your earnings for God, when you are taking your earnings from the devil. The world is quite willing to accept your plats of Heaven, if you will only let it lay out the streets here.—Ram's Horn. COULD HEAR IN GERMAN. A Horse That Was Not Used to Instructions in Any Other Language. "I bought a horse at an auction not long ago," said an Eighth avenue butcher, according to the New York Press, "and I thought I had got a bargain until I tried him a few days; then I concluded that I had been stuck." The horse was sound, good sight but he would not obey commands he would not drive driver said 'Whoa!' nor start when he said 'Git up!' The animal seemed to be deaf, and the first chance I got I sold him to a German baker at a sacrifice. "Shortly after that I met the baker, and he shook my hand cordially and expressed his interest in the horse the horse I had sold him. I wondered at this and asked if the horse seemed to have any difficulty in hearing. To my surprise, the baker said the horse could hear as well as any horse he ever had. "Does he stop when you say 'Whoa!' and start when you say 'Git up?'?" I asked. "Oh, no!' exclaimed the baker, 'I don't say dot.!' I talked to him in German! say dot! I talks to him in German! " That horse must have belonged to a German before he was put up at auction. That is the only way I can account for his actions." Good. One Necessary. One of the English weekly papers tells a good "caddie" story. A distinguished amateur came to the links with the air of one who has only to come and see in order to conquer. "Haw, caddie," he said. "Yes, sir." "What's the length of this hole?" "Two hundred yards, sir." "Haw, I see. Just a drive and a putt." He addressed the ball, swung, and drove it over the fence. "No, you said the caddie, "noo for the deil o' a putt!"—N. Y. Tribune. Good News from Texas New Braunfels, Texas, May 23rd.—A remedy has been found which cures every form of Kidney Trouble from Bright's Disease down, including Rheumatism or Heart Trouble. Mr. C. O. C. Schumann, R. F. D. No. 4 from Braunfels has used it in his family and says of the result: My wife had a heap of trouble with Kidney Disease. She was very bad and nothing seemed to help her till we tried Dodd's Kidney Pills, and the first box of this medicine did her more good than all the other pills and medicine she had used. We are very thankful to Dodd's Kidney Pills for what they have done for her." Many other cases are being reported, in which this remedy has done wonderful work in the relief and cure of Rheumatism, Diabetes and Kidney troubles of all kinds. This will be good news to many who are suffering as Mrs. Schumann was before Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. History's Hilarity. Hiawetha and his prospective father-in-law were sitting before the latter's taper. "I was looking for flints for arrow-heads over the ridge to-day," remarked the sung brave, "and found several quarrels." "I must tell that to my daughter," the arrowmaker chuckled. "It will make Minneaha."—Detroit News. THE MARKETS. WHAT THE KING EATS. A Massachusetts lady who has been through the mill with the trials of the usual housekeeper and mother relates an interesting incident that occurred not long ago. She says: "I can with all truthfulness say that Grape-Nuts is the most beneficial of all cereal foods in my family, young as well as old. It is food and medicine both to us. A few mornings ago at breakfast my little boy said: "Mamma, does the king eat Grape-Nuts very morning?" "I smiled and told him I did not know, but that I thought Grape-Nuts certainly made a delicious dish, fit for a king." (It's a fact that the king of England and the German emperor both eat Grape-Nuts.) "I find that by the constant use of Grape-Nuts not only as a morning cereal but also in puddings, salads, etc., made after the delicious recipes found in the little book in each package it is proving to be a great nerve food for me, besides having completely cured a long standing case of indigestion." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There is no doubt Grape-Nuts is the most scientific food in the world.

In a recent letter to The P. Purna Medicine Co., from Washington, D. C., says: "I can recommend Peruna for dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine for a short period and I feel very much relieved. It is indeed a wonderful medicine besides a good tonic."---M. C. Butler. Peruna has cured more cases of dyspepsia than all other remedies combined, simply because it cures catarrh wherever located. If catarrh is located in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened itself in the throat or bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it, as well in this location as in any other. Peruna is not simply a remedy for dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is generally dependent upon catarrh.

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? Prof. DuBois Coming. Dr. W.E. B. Dubois, professor of sociology at Atlanta university, will deliver an address on the Negro Problem at True Reformers' hall, Wednesday evening, June 29, under the auspices of the Lyceum Sketch club. Prof. Du Bois is considered the most scholarly Negro in the United States. He is a graduate of Harvard university and the University of Berlin. His recent work, "The Souls of Black Folk," places him in the front rank of American writers. He has made a life study of the Negro question, and his addresses on this subject are considered masterpieces of eloquence and logic. $3,000 yearly income to you.

The long facade, especially, shows a magnificent entrance, almost pure Corinthian. Here is what the architect, Harnett, Hayes & Barnett, say of their structure: "The style of architecture is a bolical of agriculture and other industries. The main entrance leads to a rotunda reaching from the mosaic floor up through all three floors to the vaulted dome. The state room, just behind the rotunda, has an area of 50x 60 feet inclusive of foyer and stage. Its ceiling will be deeply paneled, and its walls will be ornamented with mural painting—an epical frieze six feet wide Mrs. M. A.

A book of sacred and sentimental poems has been written and published by Rev. Dinkins entitled, "Lyrics of Love." It is the most interesting book of its kind that has come to our notice for quite awhile. Rev. Dinkins was born in Columbia, S. C., and he is a prominent member of the A. M. E. church. His book is dedicated to "Jesus and Mankind." One can almost see the poetical genius bursting forth from its contents, and his recital of them makes them all the more impressive. His book is one to catch the reading public. Copies of it may be secured from Rev. Dinkins at 3411 La Salle street. He has been in our city for several weeks.

Any old club that gives a ball or picnic has its bills posted on the fence or in the windows of our people's homes. It looks bad; is in fact, poor taste.
