We Exchange with 125 Negro Newspapers in the United States. Circulated Among 170, WORLD'S FAIR JOTTINGS. The National Federation of Musical clubs is in session at the World's fair grounds this week. Brig.-Gen. Edmund Rice, grand marshal of the World's fair, is seriously ill of typhoid fever. Members of the British municipal committee, 45 in number, have arrived in St. Louis, for a week's visit to the World's fair. Little Rhody entertained more than 2,000 persons at the dedication of the Rhode Island pavilion at the World's fair Wednesday. An excursion steamer from Pittsburg, Pa., the first in 20 years, has arrived at St. Louis with excursionists for the World's fair. Attendance at the World's fair is increasing daily, 229,990 admissions having been recorded last week. The daily average was 49,831. School children to the number of 75,000 will likely participate in the reception of the liberty bell at St. Louis on W. Tuesday, June 8. E. B. Ellicott has resigned as chief electrical and mechanical engineer at the World's fair, and will be succeeded by Charles F. Foster. Saturday will be "Pike day" at the World's fair, and it promises to be one of the most notable events since the gates of the Pike were opened. Tuesday was pay day for the Filipinos, they were given ten dollar gold pieces which is the regular salary the government will pay them while at the Fair. Director of Exhibits Skiff of the World's fair has placed a ban on the coatless man, requiring that all attendants in his department be modestly clothed. Statues of two of the greatest public men Illinois has produced, Lincoln and Grant, guard the main entrance on either side of the staircase, in the Illinois building. Kogoro Takahira, Japanese minister to the United States, was the guest of honor, Wednesday night, at a dinner tendered to him by President Francis of the World's fair in St. Louis. A throng of people almost mobbed Miss Roosevelt on the Pike at the World's fair in their eagerness to see her, and compelled her to abandon her trip, she escaping in an automobile. "Bill" Smith, brother of the late Mrs. Charles G. Fair, and who recently received $500,000 as his share of the Fair estate, is now in St. Louis, with his wife and three children, doing the other fair. The Irish company of players and singers on The Pike at the World's fair has been disrupted because the public seemed to prefer the regulation "stage Irishman," to the classic Irish drama. Miss Alice Roosevelt attended services at the First Presbyterian church, St. Louis, Sunday. Curious persons crowded the street and the auditorium to catch a glimpse of the president's daughter. World's fair visitors are to be taught the food value of prunes. Thirteen tons of choice San Jose prunes have arrived to be used as an object lesson in showing the world how to stew and eat this wholesome fruit. Miss Roosevelt was the guest of honor at a luncheon given by the World's fair board of lady managers and at a dinner at the residence of M. Michel Laggrave, the French commissioner general, Friday evening. Five ivory statuettes, representing an estimated cash value of $500, have been stolen from the Holland section in the east wing of the Art palace at the World's fair, worthless counterfeits being substituted. Miss Helen Gould is to receive as a gift all the exhibits of the social economy section of the Belgium pavilion at the World's fair. They will find a place in Miss Gould's social economy museum in New York. A private exhibit for the Russian art section at the St. Louis exposition, consisting of 800 paintings and other art work, which is now on board a specially-chartered steamer, will sail in a few days from St. Petersburg.

President of Edwardsville School Board Causes Teacher to Leave High School Exercises. The commencement exercises of the Edwardsville, Ill, high school were interrupted Friday night while P. C. Jones, the Colored principal of one of the schools, was requested to leave the hall. Much excitement prevailed when C. H. Burton, president of the school board, discovered the Negro teacher in the audience and glared so sternly at him that Superintendent T. M. Virney spoke to the president in his behalf. This only increased Mr. Burton's determination, and he ordered that the exercises should not go on until the Negro had gone. Superintendent Virney finally went to the Negro and requested him to depart, which he did. The exercises then proceeded, and the 14 graduates received their diplomas. REV. E. C. COLE, Pastor Rev. E. C. Cole preached the annual sermon of the U. B. F. last Sunday, in Alton, Ill. He has preached for them First Baptist Notes Rev. E. M. Wilson, of Kansas City Mo., preached an excellent sermon last Sunday, 11 a. m., at the First Baptist church. The congregation was greatly enthused. The different clubs, namely Pleasant Workers, Ruth and Carnation, met in different parts of the church directly after the morning service was over to transact some important business relative to raising some money for the church in a short time. After some discussion by the Pleasant Workers' club, it was decided that the club would try to raise one hundred dollars (including what was in the treasury) by next Sunday for the church. Madame Mattie A. Gilree made a good plea to the club in reference to raising money to pay off the debt on the church. She said that every member in the club, and in fact everyone in the church, ought to do their whole duty towards the church. If so, the few thousand dollars would soon be paid off and no one hurt. There will be a grand financial rally all day at the First Baptist church, next Sunday, and Dr. E. C. Cole wants everybody to come and help him raise $1,000 on that day for the purpose of paying on the main debt of the church. Dinner will be served by the Ruth club, and everyone who comes will be well cared for. Come one, come all. The St. Louis B. Y. P. U. convention, a Christian organization which was organized for the purpose of building up the young people, morally, socially, spiritually and religiously, and is the largest one of its kind in the United States, will meet on the third Sunday in this month at the Compton Hill Baptist church, at 3 p.m. Everybody is invited.

The Edwardsville School Board. The request of the superintendent of the Edwardsville public schools for the removal of a Mr. Jones, Colored, who attended the graduating exercises of the white high schools, was anything but commendable to him. Leaders of education should be foremost in dispelling the feeding of prejudices that actuate most of the white race. As superintendent of Colored as well as white schools, the gentleman displayed very poor taste. We have no doubt but that Mr. Jones attended the exercises from an educational standpoint, not from one seeking social equality. Doubtless he wished to compare the talent displayed in the programme of the white school with that of the Colored which was to follow the next Monday night. Those whose minds are so highly cultivated should be capable of viewing the situation from a higher and more philanthropic standpoint than those whose uppermost idea is that the touch of the Negro will contaminate them. of the First Baptist Church. for the past eight years. His sermon was a grand educational and logical sermon. Antioch Church Notes There will be a grand concert given at Antioch church, June 8, for the benefit of the Sunday school. Come one some all and help us. Sunday, June 6, is rally day at St. James A. M. E. Rev. F. McKinney, pastor of Antioch Baptist church, will preach for them at 3 p. m. His congregation will attend also. Mr. Frank Piper and Mr. Charles Green, of New York, and Mr. Frank Etson, of Houston, Tex., are stopping with Mrs. Shipton, of 2520 North Taylor avenue. Members that failed to attend their church Sunday, missed a soul-stirring sermon. At 11 a. m. the pastor spoke from 1 chapter of Romans 16 v. and at 8 p. m. Rev. E. Humphrey spoke from 107 Psalms and 29 verse. Both sermons were much enjoyed by all present. Lincoln Institute. At the Lincoln institute summer school, Prof. DuBois, the great sociologist and historian, will give a course of lectures, beginning July 4 and ending July 15. Miss Caroline Smith, of Tuskegee will teach basketry and raffia work. Dr. Stevens, of Central Baptist, St. Louis, will preach the baccalaureate sermon.

The Ladies' Noonday Social club, an organization composed of some of the leading society ladies of the city, held their semi-annual reception at the Y. M. C. A. hall, 2633 Lucas avenue, Wednesday evening, May 25. This club is not banded together for social pleasure alone, but is doing some charitable work. A very nice programme was rendered: 1. Chorus by the club, "To the Work." 2. Welcome address by Mrs. Sallie F. Jones. 3. Response by Rev. E. S. Brown. 4. Instrumental solo by Miss Hattie Nowell, of Greenville, Ill. 5. Paper by Mrs. H. J. Williams, subject, "High Art in Housekeeping." 6. Solo by Mrs. M. A. Lawrence, "Glory to God." 7. Select reading by Miss A. B. Thomson; subject, Education. 8. Solo by Mrs. A. Jones, "Pretty Pim Rose." 9. Paper by Mrs. Era G. Bolden, subje t. "Socialibility." Miss Mollie Fisher, of Edwardsville, It., was present and sang two very pretty selections, namely, "Love to All" and "Suwannne River." Miss Fisher is a singer of note. Mr. Mitchell, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Mannie Edwards, of this city, were called upon and made some very complimentary remarks, after which a very nice lunch of chicken salid, finger rocks, cake, ice cream and coffee was served by Mr. Bolden and Mr. Rogers. That Negro Jefferson Club. Last Wednesday night the club gave a barbecue and picnic at the grove, 5368 Easton avenue. The picnic was a success although the night was quite cold. These misguided Negroes would have to show that the three persons that resigned their position in the club was not the whole show. We congratulate the misguided Negroes upon their efforts in burying the three-would-be leaders. The head janitor of the Century building and the clerk in the city hall will now have to bow to the will of the majority of the misguided Negroes, but they must remember that no party can reform itself. That will only be done the 11th of January, 1905, when the republicans will be in power in Missouri. The World's Fair at Night. Viewing the buildings of the fair from a distance at night imbues one with the idea that he is transported to some place etherial. The illumination of the World's fair buildings is the most beautiful sight imaginable. The Cascade with the floating gondolas is the most attractive point at the fair. Next to the buildings comes the Plke with its varying amusements. The Indians with their squaws and papooses look very picturesque. The Hindoos and Egyptians with their oriental costumes also excite admiration. The Filipino soldiers in their tan and blue uniforms attract attention. The most curious features of the fair are the Igorrotes. The Filipino reservation with its thatched houses of bamboo make one think he is in the midst of the torrid regions. Rumors are abroad that the color line is shown at the fair. One rumor heard recently was that the Colored people had to enter through separate gates. All such tales need to be eradicated. All privileges are given anyone who has the money. For the benefit of those who have not yet come to St. Louis, and hesitate because of such rumors, we wish to say that they need have no fear of discrimination. Another Victory for the Palladium. The Egyptian Club. We see that the spacious rooms and furnishings are at a stand, the rooms are for rent,the fixtures are for sale.We wonder what has become of the members? Will some one lodge the information with the Palladium office? We have examined the hall that is occupied by the Odd Fellows, 2727 Franklin avenue. It is the most complete in every way for lodge rooms and for entertainment. On the second floor, the largest entertainment hall in the city, and in a locality that none be ashamed of. You want to rent or give an entertainment should call on the manager and secure nights. It is centrally located. 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. $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents: Day and Night Grand Steamboat Given by St. Louis Division of the OLD FOLK on "City of P" TO MONTES Monday, J Boat leaves foot of Olive Street at Refreshments Music by Great Western B JAS.

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 Heir-Tonics. OZONO. iron-clad guarantee to do all that. Now, we ask you a plain question: $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with to all we claim for them?

OPEN CEDED LAND IN NORTH DAKOTA President Signs Proclamation Providing for the Opening. CONTAINS ABOUT 88,000 ACRES Ceded Lands Comprise the Devil's Lake Indian Reservation-Land to Be Disposed of By a Regulation Drawing. Washington, June 3.—The president Thursday signed a proclamation providing for the opening of the ceded lands of the Devil's Lake Indian reservation in North Dakota. The land is to be disposed of by a registration and drawing similar to that provided for the opening of the ceded lands of the Rosebud reservation in South Dakota by recent proclamation. The Devil's Lake Indian reservation contains about $8,000 acres of land, of which approximately 550 homestead entries may be made. The registration may be made at Devil's Lake and Grand Forks, North Dakota, and will begin August 8 and run until August 20. The drawing will be held at Devil's Lake, beginning August 24. The entries must be made at the Devil's Lake land office, and will begin at eight o'clock September, and will proceed for 60 days. Any land subsequently remaining unentered will be subject to homestead entry on payment of $4.50 per acre. Only qualified homesteaders will be allowed to participate in the drawing, and all persons must register for themselves, except honorably discharged soldiers and sailors, who will be entitled to make homestead entry through agents. The proclamation reserves 1,553 acres for the Fort Totten school, and also makes reservations for the Protestant Episcopal church, the Raven Hill Presbyterian church, the Wood Lake Presbyterian church, the mission of the Sisters of Charity, the St. Michael's church and St. Jerome's church. Ninety-two acres are reserved for the Devil's Lake Indian agency, and 883 acres for a public park at Sully's hill. The president also issued an order so changing the boundaries of the Devil's Lake and Grand Forks land districts" as to throw all the ceded lands into the Devil's Lake district. RECEIVE MANY INQUIRIES. Indications are That 50,000 People Will Flock to the Reservation. Chicago, June 3.—The inquiries received at the railroad offices regarding the opening of the Rosebud Indian reservation, South Dakota, in July, number nearly a thousand a day, and indicate that about 50,000 people will go to the reservation in the hope of getting a quarter section each.

ER, Proprietor Missouri State Gleanings. Wenther Has Been Generally Favorable, and Corn and Wheat Are Doing Well. Columbia, Mo., May 31.—The United States department of agriculture, climate and crop bullet of the weather bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending May 30, 1904, says: Warm, growing weather prevailed throughout the state on the 23d, 24th and 25th, but during the latter part of the week the temperature was again below the normal. The precipitation of the week, up to Saturday, was generally light, except in portions of the central and western sections, where it exceeded 1 inch, and in a number of the extreme southern counties rain was beginning to be needed for small grains and grasses, but the conditions were favorable for showers during Saturday night and Sunday, and late reports indicate that light to moderately heavy rains occurred in all sections. In portions of the central and western sections, and also in a few of the northeastern counties, rains on the 25th-26th stopped field work for two or three days, but throughout the greater part of the state work has progressed favorably. Corn planting is now nearly completed in most of the southern and is well advanced in many of the central and northern counties. In some of the northern and west-central counties, however, only about half the crop has yet been planted. The later-planted corn is generally coming up well, but a large portion of that planted earlier will have to be planted over. Corn has made better growth during the past week, but the nights have been too cool for rapid progress. Cultivation has been in progress to a greater or less extent in most sections, but in some localities, where rains have interfered, the fields are becoming very weedy. There is very little complaint of damage by moles or cut worms. Cotton planting is practically completed in the extreme southeastern counties, and the earlier planted has been worked over and looks well. There is, however, considerable complaint of poor stands. Wheat continues in fair to good condition in most counties, but in some districts it is heading short, with short heads. It is now blooming in the southern counties. Oats have improved somewhat during the week, and In some counties are looking fine, but in others they are thin and short and very unpromising. They are beginning to head in the extreme southern counties. Meadows and pastures are reported short and weedy in a few counties, but, as a rule, are in excellent condition. Clover is now blooming. Gardens are still rather backward in most sections. Potatoes are generally making good growth, but there is much complaint of poor stands. In a few of the southeastern counties potato bugs are doing much damage. Melons are doing well in Scott coun- Apples continue to drop to a considerable extent, and the outlook for that crop is becoming less promising. There is also considerable complaint that plums, pears and cherries have fallen badly. A good crop of peaches is promised in some of the southern counties. Strawberries are now ripening in the central, and a good crop is being picked in the southern counties. W. P. STEWART. Acting Section Director. Missouri Wine. Missouri is not often thought of as a wine-producing state, yet recent statistics compiled by the state board of agriculture show that the state produces annually more than 100,000 gallons of wine, and that more than 13,000,000 pounds of grapes are raised each year. These figures apply to the products which are shipped out, as no record can be kept of the large amount of both grapes and wine that are produced for home use. Lodged in St. Louis Jail. Louis Eaton, 24 years old, who was convicted in Dunklin county, several months ago of the murder of Frank Huff, of Kennett, and who was sentenced to be hanged on June 24, was taken to St. Louis for safe keeping. Eaton's case is now pending in the supreme court, he having taken an appeal. Girl Baby in a Basket. Mrs. Fannie Brown, the matron at the St. Louis union station, found a three-weeks'old infant girl in a basket. An enclosed note furnished the information that its parents were dead, and that the writer was not related to the child. The little outcast was taken to St. Ann's foundling asylum. His Shelter Was His Death. George Schweigert, aged 9, was cut in two by a flat car in St. Louis. He crawled under the car to get out of the rain, and a switching crew moved it. Thought Deputy Was a Thief. Charles H. Clark, a deputy marshal of Jackson county, was arrested while on a fishing trip in Cass county, being mistaken for a horse thief. Four Hurt in Wabash Wreck. Four persons were slightly injured in a Wabash shuttle train wreck in St. Louis. The train was bound for the World's fair grounds. BURIED IN POTTER'S FIELD Dend Kansas City Pauper Was Related to Queen Victoria's Surgeon General. A parchment signed by Queen Victoria, giving him his first commission, several silver trophies won in England, personal letters, legal papers and the like have brought to light the said life history of Walter Hawkins, once major of the royal Warwickshire regiment, who died in poverty at Kansas City, and whose body now lies unmarked in the potter's field, after having been rejected by the anatomical society. Hawkins came to America in 1894, and went into business in Boston, but was not successful. Later he went to Kansas City, where things drifted from bad to worse. Finally ill health drove him to the city hospital, where death released him. Among Hawkins' effects were found papers which indicate that he was a near relative of the late Caesar Hawkins, surgeon general to Queen Victoria, and heir to William Penn Symons, lieutenant-general of the British armies, killed in action in South Africa. Mrs. Hawkins is with relatives in England, where an estate recently fell to Hawkins, who died before the news of his change in fortunes reached him. Missouri Boy's Body Brought Home. The funeral of John M. McKenna was held in Greenwood, St. Louis county. Young McKenna was a soldier and was drowned while fording the Sibuan river in the Philippine islands on August 9, 1903. His horse was unable to swim in the swift stream and was drowned with the rider. The body of the soldier was recovered by natives and buried temporarily near where it was found. McKenna was 26 years old. He enlisted with the Fifteenth cavalry and had seen two years' service in the Philippines when he lost his life. His command was the first to reach the Moro portion of the islands, where there was some hard fighting. McKenna's period of enlistment was nearly up when he was drowned, and he was looking forward with pleasure to the time when he should return to St. Louis. The remains were interred in Calvary cemetery. Ground Had to Serve. Circuit Judge Perkins, of Jasper county, sticks to the old-fashioned idea that a rich man ought to obey an order of court just the same as a less fortunate citizen. J. W. Grounds, a wealthy Carthage man, was summoned the other day as a juror. He bluntly told the deputy sheriff who served him that he was too busy and would not come. Judge Perkins immediately issued an attachment for him and fined him $15. His honor announced that business could not serve as a valid excuse, adding for the information of Mr. Grounds that to serve on a jury was one of the most important duties resting upon the citizen, and business that interests the entire community. Todd Pleads Not Guilty. Dr. J. D. Todd, former representative, who shot and killed R. f. Wall at Richards, May 20, was arraigned before Judge Timmonds at Nevada. Todd's attorneys waived the reading of the information charging the defendant with murder in the first degree and entered a plea of not guilty. On June 16 Dr. Todd's attorney will ask that he be released upon bond, and they will introduce testimony to sustain the application. The state attorney will contest granting of bond. Want the Law Observed. A law and order league has been organized in Troy, with about twenty members. The object of the organization is to aid the prosecuting attorney in an effort to stop the illegal sale of liquor. Kansas City Stockmann Dend. F. E. Patterson, of the firm of John Patterson & Son, members of the Union stock yards exchange of Chicago, died of tuberculosis in Kansas City at the age of 40 years. Milk Dealers Caught Unawares. Samples taken unexpectedly from the contents of milk wagons are being investigated, in Kansas City, and it found to be adulterated, the vendors will be prosecuted. Tired of Married Life. After 31 years of married life, a Jefferson City woman named Affolter is seeking divorce. She and her husband are the parents of 11 children, nine of whom are living. Good for Centralia. Centralia wants it known that she will blow in the whole of $300 celebrating on the Fourth of July. To the whole world she says "Come." Three Laborers Killed. Three laborers were killed, one was seriously injured and several were bruised in an explosion in a stone quarry near Maysville. The explosion was caused by a laborer dropping a match in a quantity of damp powder, which ignited and exploded more than 100 pounds of dynamite. A Blind Man and a Fiddle. Music always appeals to the higher nature. A blind man scratched away on a fiddle in Norborne the other day until the generous citizens raised a purse to get him out of town.

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: SEVEN 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) More bona fine subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The People's Choice for President. Where did Farmer pick up the title of "Honorable?" Every Negro in St. Louis ought to read The Palladium. OUR COURSE NEXT WEEK will be defind, as a number of persons have asked us do. We intend to enter the political field again. The Negro free fight was so disgusting that The Palladium man refuses to give notice of it this week. Three Negroes got their heads punched, and were thrown down the steps at 2601 Morgan street, May 25. We see that our chief, William Desmond, will have 200 more men and a number of them in plain clothes. We hope that he will appoint one on the corner of Jefferson and Pine and Lawton avenue, where the young Negroes set like birds and the lewed white women gather like flies. Take a wagon load of them to the calaboose. That will break them up. "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 saiou 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.

Mrs. Anna Scott is secretary to Mr. Washington at the World's fair grounds.

We are also informed that Mr. George Jones, a clerk in the city hall, also is on the outs with his associates in the Negro Jefferson club. Mr. L. L. Landy, of New Orleans, La., is in St. Louis.

Of those present who are visiting our city was Miss Anderson and Mr. and Mrs. P. T. Nicholson. Miss Ethel Anderson, who is visiting her uncle at 4147 Fairfax, is quite an entertainer. Miss Anderson is one of Fort Smith's most popular young ladies. Mr. Adams, of Rochester, N. Y., was also a guest of honor. S. L. Pickett. Drugs fresh daily.

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. On May 27, 1904, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, No. 7 North Twenty-third street, St. Louis, there assembled friends of Mr. and Mrs. Cartheron for an evening of pleasure.

The "Dirty Dozen" is on top in Madison, Ill. Dr. Arthur, the once gentleman, once doctor, and now the postmaster and saloon keeper, is a sight to look upon. We learn from good authority that Dr. Arthur will soon lose the saloon or postmastership. Do the government authorities really known what manner of man this fellow is? Scene At Fairchilds Gathering. "The Hon." P. H. Fairchilds, the saloon keeper, had an old-time ragtime gathering of men, women and children, white and black. That was the crowd. Our reporter was at a loss to understand what was the cause of the jollification until "The Hon." P. H. Fairchilds stepped forward and said: "Friends—We are here for de purpus to have a jollification, in honor of de school board, who did not reappoint dat man dat gib dat news to dat Palladium man. Dat is what we are here for. If it wasn't for dat we wouldn't be here. So we am here. Dat an am a fac. If it wasn't a fac it wouldn't be a fac. So it am a fac, cause it am so, Now I want you all to drink and drink, till de sun comes up in de morning." At this he stepped down and began to take in the money till Sunday morning. MR.

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.

You can buy a paper from him, the St. Louis Palladium which will net him 2½ 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. Remember, 1526 Morgan street. A man may feel as young at 40 as he did at 20, but he knows that he doesn't know half as much. Before marriage a woman clings to a man's neck.

WILL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT Protect the Negro in Their Religious and Social Meetings? We cali especial attention to the condition of things around Jefferson avenue and Pine street. ‘The True Re- formers! hall was bought for the ac- ‘commodation of many of our societies, who meet there day and night. Chil- dren’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. ap- proach those corners without coming in contact with some of those women. If these were Colored women, they would have been resting in the work- house or have been driven out of the city long ago. Since the opening of the Grand Cen- tral hotel they have been scattered from that corner; now they make the goutheast corner of Pine street thety bangout. ‘We ask Mayor Wells, Chief Kiely.

Holland treasurer and manager, and W. A. Ashley secretary. Thece 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 stat- ed 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 to tais place and enjoy yourself, at 713 North Six- teenth street. Something Good for Club Girls and Rounders. Say, kids, or girls, no man will go to a club or dance hall to get a wife. ‘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 usad 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 broth- ers, Now the girls play cards with boys and men on Sunday nights till 10 and 11 o'clock. ‘Young men who are constantly wait- ing 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 meetiags of young sirls, between the ages of 12 to 18 years, are no good, nothing in them but a chance to miss Sunday school or their Sia weal Some ten years ago our young men and boys went to school at 9 o'clock, Sunday mozning, or at 2 o'clock p. m., and Sunday evening. Not so now. The young kids meet in what they call a club meeting. On the first and second Sundays in June there will be a grand rally at the First Baptist church, and Dr. E. C. Cole expects to raise $500 each Sunday. He cordially invites everybody to come and help him on said days. Some of the clubs will serve dinner, and every- one who comes will be well cared for. ns AW (| ¢ The 40 & » ) y Base Ball Cub» ¥ 5 . c. W.

But, a8 one stands upon the crowd- ed street corner, or in the great halls where young men gather, says Ernest Neal Lyon, in Caicago Advance, and notes go often the haggard, restless face of discontent, or dissipation, ons cannot help thinking that the young soldier found, after all, the true secre of peace. What did the Man of Sorrows mean to teach us by His words and life? He was born in a manger that He might give His followers “many man- /sions.” He had to toil at the carpen- ter’s bench. Yet ont of that toil He gave the “heavy-laden rest,” and as ‘the direct result of His supreme act of sacriflee He was able to bequeath the most wonderful legacy ever given, ‘Peace! And those who, like Him, have given their lives gladly for a “eause that they loved,” possess the same peace. How many noble spirits there are whom the world has never known— like the wood-violet, too modest and unconscious to covet the glare of the sun! ‘The missionary in China or Africa, the Salvation Army lass in the poor districts of London or New York, the country pastor riding over the rough storm-swept hills to find a “lost sheep,” are examples. ‘Their names will never be known to men, but when the white walls of “the City that hath foundations, whose Maker and Builder is God,” are reared, we shall find that thelr work has not been “wood or hay or stub- ble,” but “gold and silver and pre- cious stones!” And when we watch jthem greet again ‘their “loved and lost,” we may well say in the words ‘ot Bunyan, as he watched his Chris- tian soldier home, “which when I saw, I wished I were among them!” | So our thought turns bark to the - young soldier—and he stands before nz as the ideal knight—tfacing the battle that every young man must fight.

We cannot understand hu- manity until we have some real though not of course exhaustive knowledge of the Deity. Faith has rare optical powers, and while it is not an all-secing eye, it is a much seeing and a far-seeing eye. It not only looks off afar into Heaven, but also reveals to the believing soul many fair beauties of earth. A _ believing heart gives a truly aesthetic view of life, fer since it finds God in every- ining it finds everything beautiful in Its time and way—N, Y.

Spiritual Lessons from the Growth of a Chinese Lily—Well-Rooted ‘Then Splendid Growth. It was our first Chinese Ily. \We had seen them in other homes, but concluded that we must have one of ‘our own, So we sent for a bulb, filled a glass dish with fossils, gypsum crys- tals and stones of various sorts, and ‘placed the bulb in a little nest in the center. When the dish had been filled with water we were ready to oversee the process of growth, says Craig 8. Thoms, Ph. D., in Baptist Standard. Fully a week passed, but there was no sign; another, and there was only & glimmer of hope, which seemed to us more like an expiring breath than the beginning of life. Since our neighbor's bulb, meanwhile, had grown several inehés, we concluded that ours was not quite healthy, and sent for another. By the time the second arrived, how- ever, the first had begun to grow at the roots, which ere many days had intertwined themselves amopg the rocks and fossils until there was little danger of the lily toppling over. As the growth of the stem increased the weight of the top, the roots clung with ever firmer grip, holding the lily straight, It made one think of the boyhood days upon the farm; of the years passed in hard work; of the impa- tience to be away at school; of the eager desire to grow. If only one could grow his life in a glass dish, so that he might see from beneath how it is being rooted. Not until long afterwards does he understand that those were days of root-forming, days when the deeper life-qualities were clasping firm foundations, were taking root in patient toil; in love of nature; in joy of the out-of-doors; in the consciousness of God in fields and flocks and growing crops; in the sweet, deep love of a godly mother, whose heart beat high with hope as she looked upon children whom she had dedicated to God; in the old fam- ily Bible, the book in all the house most valued and honored; in the fam- ily altar and in the confidence that father’s prayers were heard in Heaven; in the deep and abiding con- sciousness of God in everything. TFos- sils, some of these? There is no bet- ter material for the roots of the boy's nature to clasp. As long as he is root~ ed to these the man will stand upright. When the roots of the lily had be- come long, strong, much intertwined, and had made sure their hold, the stem began to shoot up very rapidly. Tt was an exact repetition of the growth so often seen in green, awk- ward boys just from the farm. At first there is little promise. The improve- ment is slow. Will they ever amount to anything? ‘They are so easily out stripped by the neighbor's boy. Our neighbor's ily, though a rapid grower, proved to be a single one, while ours was double and fragrant. It is not always the most precocious youth who reaches the greatest height or whose life is most fragrant with blessing, but often the more backward. boy, whose desires are pure and whose aspirations are high because the roots of his na- ture are entwined about sacred things. As our Illy grew tall and the stem divided, we feared lest the weight of the heavy, slender leaves should bend them over at the bulb and only the round flower-stalks remain upright. But ere their weight was too heavy for their own strength, a sheath shot up two or three inches above the bulb, clasping closely the bunch of long leaves and helping to hold them up- right. When the lily came to the eru- cial time of flowering, God not only clothed it in beauty, but all the leaves fairly leaped forward in their growth to supply some need that was deeper than tite eye could see. From first to last, for each denger was given ade- quate protection, for each weakness sufficient strength, for each need am- plo supply. RELIGIOUS ITEMS.

In the streets you can rarely escape the painted and gaudily-dressed tots who turn baby handsprings, execute somersaults and do other infantile stunts in a wheedling effort to secure the "hairy foreigner's" wealth. A Japanese matsui were not the fair it purports without the bespangled tight-rope performer, the bamboo ladder-climbing youngsters, the wrestlers, tumblers, spearsmen or fencers. So deeply rooted is the native love for the strenuous life that the national sports of other lands have been tried in Japan. The mikado, with many of the imperial family, attends the annual spring races in Yokohama; but nothing in the line of imported sports so appeals to the Japanese as cycling and baseball. Cycling clubs are scattered all over the empire, thousands of American bicycles spin across the island, and the foreigners experience difficulty in keeping even a few of the records and trophies out of native hands. The Tokio baseball team is an efficient organization, and it frequently drubs the teams from other ports and cities. At the Yokohama cricket grounds excellent and sharply-contested games may be witnessed occasionally between the Tokio native team and the Yokohama foreign organization.—Outing.

"Aye," he said, "there shall be gnashing of teeth! Yes." he shouted, pounding the pupit with his fist, "there shall surely be gnashing of teeth!"

A man who had both jaws shot away had trouble eating ordinary food but found a food-drink that supplies the nutriment needed. He says: "I have been an invalid since the slege of Vicksburg, in 1866, where I was wounded by a Minie ball passing through my head and causing the entire loss of my jaws. I was a drummer boy and at the time was leading a skirmish line, carrying a gun. Since that time I have been awarded the medal of honor from the Congress of the United States for gallantry on the field. "The consequences of my wound were dyspepsia in its most aggravated form and I finally proved ordinary coffee was very hard on my stomach so I tried Postum and got better. Then I tried common coffee again and got worse. I did this several times and finally as Postum helped me every time I continued to use it, and how often I think that if the Government had issued Postum to us in the Army how much better it would have been for the soldier boys than coffee. "Coffee constipates me and Postum does not; coffee makes me spit up my food, Postum does not; coffee keeps me awake nights, Postum does not.

"In the morning the chief priests . . . held a consultation:" An illegal trial had been going on before the Jewish authorities during the latter part of the night. Though they had the trial in the night, they were careful not to pronounce sentence till after sunrise, that its legality might not be questioned. Even the sentence thus pronounced was illegal, for the law forbade passing a death sentence till the day after the trial. Furthermore their law forbade the trying of criminal cases on the day before the Sabbath. This was Friday, the day before the Jewish Sabbath. "Delivered Him up to Pilate:" The Sanhedrin in the time of Christ had no power to inflict the death penalty. Their Roman conquerors would not permit it, so their action was practically only a recommendation. Pontius Pilate had been procurator of Judaea for four or five years, at this time under commission from Tiberius Caesar. Read at this point John 17:29-32, which shows that the chief priests tried to get Pilate to ratify their action without looking into the matter. Pilate would have nothing to do with such procedure and insisted upon a charge. The Sanhedrin had condemned Jesus for blasphemy, but that is not what they told the Roman governor. They told him that the charge was of conspiring against Rome. "Art thou the King of the Jews:" A plain question, "Guilty, or not guilty?" "Thou sayest: "Yes, I am the King." This was a summary of Jesus' answer. The full conversation, in which He explains to Pilate what He means by being a King, is found in John 18:33-38. After this Pilate pronounced Jesus not guilty. Pilate was not a man wicked beyond any that have lived since. He had pronounced Jesus innocent; he wanted to have Him set at liberty. But he did not want to bring upon himself the enmity of the angry priests, for there was no denying that they were still very powerful in Judaea. It occurred to him that he could avoid the decision entirely by sending Jesus, who was a Galliaean, to Herod, the governor of Galilee, who happened to be in the city. Herod was glad to see Jesus, for the interview would bring him a new kind of diversion. But in that encounter Jesus was king and Herod clown. Herod realized it, and in chagrin sent Jesus back to Pilate, in mock state, but uncondemned, Read the account of Luke 23:3-12. Luke 23:13-16 tells of Pilate's formal acquittal of Jesus. He should have released Him, but instead He takes another step in the way of compromise; he will scourge Him to pacify them, and then release Him to pacify his own conscience. The priests would not hear to it. "The question had finally come to this, whether he would save Jesus or save himself." He would save Jesus if he could; he must save himself in any case. It was a trial of strength between Pilate, in Jesus' behalf, and the chief priests against him. "Barrabs: "A notable prisoner" (Matt. 27:16); "who for a certain insurrection made in the city and for murder" (Luke 29:19), was "lying bound with them that had made insurrection." He was a robber or brigand (John 18:40). "Will ye that I release. . . . the King of the Jews:" An attempt to get the crown (not the priests) on his side. Pilate knew that Jesus had a good deal of hold on the common people and that that was one reason the priests hated him. Read here Matt 27:19, the dream of Pilate's wife. "The chief priests raised up the multitude:" There are not words in the English language with which to adequately characterize the spirit of these champions of orthodoxy, and it need not be done. But think of the state of religion in the land when such men were its official leaders! "What then shall I do . . . unto the King of the Jews:" Pilate was yielding by inches. There are some matters on which men have no business to ask advice. Conscience told Pilate what he ought to do with Jesus. That should have been the end of it. The words: "If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend," were a threat, and it was that that finally broke the opposition of Pilate. BARBED ARROWS.

A German engineer has brought forward a new method of constructing chains so as to eliminate the weakness due to faulty material or construction, which sometimes occurs in chains made of solid metal. The method consists in winding wire into links and binding the turns of wire by dipping in a bath of liquid zinc or other noncorrosive material. The wired links may also be stiffened by being wound on an internal steel lining adapted to receive the wrappings of wire. It is claimed that chains made by this method provide equal strength with less waste of metal. —Chicago Inter Ocean. A Historical Fact.

DOCTOR ADVOCATED OPERATION PE-RU-NA MADE KNIFE UNNECESSARY. MRS. EVA BARTHO, 133 East 129th St., New York City, N. Y., writes: "I suffered for three years with leucochea and ulceration of the womb. The doctor advocated an operation which I dreaded very much, and strongly objected to go under it. Now I am a changed woman. Peruna cured me; it took nine bottles, but I felt so much improved I kept taking it, as I dreaded an operation so much. I am to-day in perfect health and have not felt so well for fifteen years."—Mrs. Eva Bartho. Mrs Senator Roach, of Larimore, N.

Miss Helen Rolof, Kaukauna, Wis., writes: "Several times during the past two years or more my system has been greatly in need of a tonic, and at those times Peruna has been of great help in building up the system, restoring my appetite and securing restful sleep." - Helen Roberts Arts and Armitage, 36 Greenwood Ave, Detroit, Mich., District Organizer of the Royal Templars of Temperance, writes as follows; "I suffered for five years with uterine irregularities, which brought on hysteria and made me a physical wreck. I tried doctors from the different schools of medicine, but without any perceptible change in my condition. In my despair I called on an old nurse, who advised me to try Peruna, and promised good results if I would persist and take it regularly. I kept this up for six months, and steadily gained strength and health, and when I had used fifteen bottles I considered myself entirely cured. I am a grateful, happy woman to-day."—Miss Muriel Armitage. Miss Lucy M.

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.

See Them "NIGGER" Heads. 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?
