The Maryland state pavilion at the World's fair was dedicated Wednesday. The greatest crowd since opening day greeted Liberty bell at the World's fair in St. Louis Wednesday. Alabama's mines and metallurgy exhibit, with the mammoth stature of Vulcan, was dedicated at the World's fair Tuesday. President Francis declares that the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co. will meet the first payment on the federal loan promptly and in full next Wednesday. The juniors of Yale are raising a purse to send James E. Donnelly, the "campus cop," to the World's fair as the guest of the class. Donnelly is very popular John Davidson, 35 years old, whose home is said to be in California, and who was employed at the World's fair grounds, was run over and killed by a switch engine in St. Louis. Frank G. O'Haven, a great-grandson of the man who cast the Liberty bell, was one of the thousands of St. Louisians, who, with bared heads, saw the revered relic drawn through the streets Wednesday. [Image of a man in a suit with a tie]. P. A. [Portrait of a man in a suit with a tie]. The above cut represent a gentleman who has shown business qualities in many acts in the past years in St. Louis and other places. He is a man of means, and by that way he has gained the good will of the business men of St. Louis. A few days ago he purchased the printing plant that was known as the Great Western Printing Co., which is formers' hall first-class job now employing fice. He is p printing, and ber the number 2600 Pine str --- tist church members are proud of him, and other congregations are glad to have him with them. God help Rev. Brown. Miss Alice Roosevelt's pretty little lantern watch, which was presented to her by the French commissioner general on the occasion of her recent visit to the World's fair, will not be classed as a dutiable. Some of the St. Louis children who visited the World's fair for the first time to welcome Liberty bell were lost in wonderment at what they saw; others were lost in reality and had not been found up to closing time Wednesday night. DEATH RELIEVES HER PAIN... A most remarkable women, Mrs. Caroline Lang, has passed away. She was one of St. Louis' oldest citizens. Thus one by one we pass beyond that bourne from whence none returns. She was near the hundred mark. She leaves sons, daughters and grandchildren to mourn her loss. Many years ago she bought the house, 4818 Page avenue, where she spent her last days. She was buried last Sunday from the First Baptist church. Mrs. Lucy Barrow is very sick at the home of her son, Gus Barrow, at 2626 Lucas avenue. Mrs. Susan Riser, the daughter of Mrs. Barrow, is constantly at her mother's bedside, as are also the other children, and her daughter-in-law. C.

Those Africans were promised $4 per day and received "nit." The poem is true. To serve the present age. Our pockets we must fill; We'll make them work for wages. And never pay the bill. Befriend yourself, and you will find yourself surrounded by numerous friends. The Negro doesn't know the power that there is in his race. Any Negro who will betray his own race for a few pennies, ought to be in the jungles of Africa, or some other place, with a log chain around his neck, and whipped three times a day. The minister who preaches to his congregation that they ought to make up collections for foreign missions, and refuse to help his brethren recently from Africa in distress, is only a hirling, and careth not for others. "So we preach, and so ye believed"—1st Cor. 15-11. Dear Editor-Allow me to correct the errors published by some of our city papers respecting the street fight, and a good many other things said and done in the vicinity of Rutger street and Spring avenue. There were only two Boer soldiers instead of fifteen, and no fight at all as stated, occurred between said parties. As to the Kaffers hiding, they walked around just as anyone else, without fear. They are not wild, as has been stated. One of them can speak several languages, and can read and write. As to there being a mob of Negroes, is a misrepresentation. 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. Stop that cough.

Carter, 3436 Dearborn street, Chicago, passed away Tuesday morning, May 31. His funeral services were held Friday morning at St. Monica. Capt. Carter achieved national prominence during the reconstruction period in the south. He was a member of the legislature of Mississippi, and later on secretary of state. He came to Chicago in 1880, as a Gen. Grant delegate to the republican national convention, and remained true to him until he went down on the three hundred and sixth ballot, and from that time to his death he resided in this city. With all his faults Capt. Hannibal C. Carter was a lover of his race. May his weary soul rest in peace.—Broadax. We are amazed at the comment of the Broadax. Yet the editor of the Broadax can sympathize—unlike the Sedalia Conservator, who tried to bellittle The Palladium, because we threw the mantle of charity over the late Jim Ray. Young W. H. Huston has been silent since we w turned The Palladium on him. First Baptist Church of Bridgeton, Mo., has services as follows: Preaching 11 A. M.; Sabbath school 2 P. M. Preaching 7:30 P. M. Rev. W.

McElroy, one of our most enterprising and thrifty young citizens. The house is built on the Queen Anne style, with a slate roof, and has seven rooms,a large reception hall, gas, bath and all other modern conveniences, and will compare favorably with any of the modern homes owned by our people in this city. each entertainment. He will have his book of original poets for sale each night for $1 each. Don't fail to hear his great poems and lectures. It is a rare literary treat.

Batey, St. Paul; James Clay, Jersey City; R. E. Lee, New York city; E. N. Gilmore, New York city; D. J. King, Montreal, Canada; J. Meyes, Hot Springs; W. N. Potts, Chicago. A Standing Evil. One standing evil we observe is the posting of society or lodge bills in the windows of private homes. 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. If they wish to advertise, let them put their ads, in daily or weekly papers. The lot on which the house is built is 30-foot front by 148 feet deep, and is in one of the most desirable residence districts north of Delmar and west of Grand avenues. The purchase was made through Jos. F. Smith, attorney and real estate agent, at a cost of $2,500, and the photograph from which the above cut was made was taken by Sexton & Maxwell, photographers. BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO" BEFORE. AFTER. TRADE-MARK. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Heir-Tonics.

DON'T FORGET THE NUMBER 1409 Market Street SILVER SERVICE FOR THE MISSOURI Presentation Made on Board the Battleship at Newport News. MANY WITNESSED CEREMONY. The Service, Consisting of Twenty-Five Pieces, One of the Handsomest Ever Given to American Newport News, Va., June 4.—Impressive and interesting were the exercises during the presentation of the handsome silver service from the people of Missouri to the magnificent battleship which bears the historic name of their state. The ceremony took place on the afterdeck of the ship, and the silver service, which was a testimonial of the good will and esteem of a brave people, was placed on a stand directly under the muzzle of the 12-inch gun protruding from the turret in which 32 American sailors lost their lives a few weeks ago. On one side of the stand stood the members of the St. Louis party and on the other Capt. W. S. Cowles, commanding officer of the Missouri. The St. Louis party arrived at Old Point this morning and came to the shipyard on a government tug, arriv- Capt. W. S. Cowles. Commander of the Battleship Missouri. Commander of the Battleship Missouri, ing shortly before noon. They immediately went aboard the Missouri, which had left the shipyard dock and was moored in the stream. Supt. Walter A. Post of the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., builders of the ship, several of the other officials and employees of the company with officers from the German cruisers Vainta, Gazelle, Panther and Falke, officers from Fort Monroe, Rear-Admiral Harrington, commandant of the Norfolk navy yard, and many officers of the yard were already aboard as specially-invited guests, and occupied places on the afterdeck. The presentation ceremonies began soon after the arrival and introduction of the visitors with the address of presentation by T. R. Ballard, former president of the St. Louis Merchants' exchange, chairman of the committee which raised the money by popular subscription to buy the service. He was followed and seconded by Judge Estes, and then Capt. W. S. Cowies responded, accepting the beautiful tribute from the people of Missouri to the ship of that name. C. W. Knapp, Rear-Admiral Harrington and D. M. Houser also spoke. After the speech-making the visitors were given the liberty of the ship and were tendered a reception by the officers. This evening the Missourians returned to Old Point, where they are stopping at the Chamberlain hotel. When the party left, the Missouri fired a governor's salute. The Missouri has been at the shipyards for repairs for several weeks, but early next week she will coal and will sail about Wednesday to the European squadron. The silver service presented to-day is one of the handsomest ever given to a battleship in the United States navy. It consists of 25 pieces, including a punch bowl, tray, ladle and 24 silver cups, in a quarter oak chest bound in brass and lined with wine-colored chamois. Shoots Wife and Himself. Philadelphia, June 6.—W. H. Dorrey, aged 60 years, and his wife Lizzie, 40 years of age, were found dead at their home, 1468 South Juniper street, Sunday evening, the death in each case being due to a bullet wound. It is the belief of the police that Dorrey shot his wife and then killed himself. He had been out of employment for some time. Freight Handlers on Strike. San Francisco, June 6.—Freight handlers at Third and Townsend street station of the Southern Pacific company to the number of 500 have gone on strike. Dr. Rebecca Lee Dorsey, who claims lineal descent from Robert Bruce, is practicing medicine in Los Angeles, Cal.

Or ends the east at some bright star, And to the west are sure metes set? See, two strong fire-winged angels leave The throne of God, from left and right; East, west, their tireless pinnions cleave A flaming path in endless flight. They glow and speed when myrlad years Of earth occuunted time have flown; They whirl joy systems, suns and spheres, And worlds to ashen grayness grown. Each spans the fringe of golden spray Washing creation's outmost shore. Beyond, they light the blue-black way, Flashing and flying evermore. Yet part they still! Their wings of might Gleam farther, farther, swiftly fleet. An outbound course—how infinite! For each no limit and no mete. Far, far apart! Soul, hast thou proved, With joy that sets all fear at rest. God hath from thee thy sin removed "Far as the east is from the west?" -Mrs. Merrill E. Gates, in S. S. Times. THEY EARNED BIBLES. Touching Story of Two Little Japs to Whom the Gospel Had Come in Saving Power. This good news comes from Japan, reports the Baptist Union: Two dirty juniors, clad in ragged clothes, but having faces shining with a great happiness, found their way a short time ago into the house of a local Bible seller and wanted to buy two five-sen Testaments. They had earned during three months of work in the industrial department of their day school 15 sen apiece (seven and a half cents), and they had decided to spend some of their first earnings on Bibles which they could feel were their very own. The Bible seller's mother, who was suffering from partial paralysis, hobbled across the room and brought them one book. They clamored urgently for a second copy, that they might have one apiece. "One is enough for both of you. You are too poor to buy more." "No, it isn't. We want one apiece. And we have the money, too—our very own. We earned it making envelopes at the Hanabatake school." Another book was given them, and the children, thanking the old lady for waiting upon them when she was so feeble, then left with happy faces. A few minutes later they returned, and, after urging each other to state their errand, one of the two produced from behind him, where he was holding it in a dirty hand, a paper parcel containing five-sen worth of sugar. "We are so sorry you are ill and suffer so much. We wanted to do something, so we bought this sugar for you with some of our own money. Please be so kind as to eat it." The old lady, who is an earnest Christian, was deeply touched by the thoughtful kindness of these ragged urchins. "They seemed to me like little angels," she told a visitor later. "The house has been brighter all day because of their visit." There is an interesting sequel to this true story. The old lady told the incident to a few of her neighbors, and collected gifts of second-hand clothing sufficient to make those two children and other needy persons comfortable for the rest of the winter. Verily, one kind deed blesses many people. INSINCERE CONFESSION. A. Brace of Stories Which Show How Sometimes Man Does Not Mean What He Says. If other folks charged us with some of the things we are seemingly willing to confess to God, we might resent the charges as being utterly untrue. Now and again one hears a man telling how bad he has been, seeming to glory in the fact of his meanness. It is said that a colored brother was making unusual confession of his sin in a certain meeting, and as he sat down another brother ejaculated aloud; "Amen!" The response greatly angered the man who had confessed to such meanness, and he went to the brother, and asked, threateningly: "Was dat Amen' in de natuah ob a personal reflection?" There is also a good story, says the Baptist Union, of a cardinal who went to confession. "I have been guilty of every kind of sin," said he, thinking by self-accusation to get the reputation of a saint. "It is a solemn fact," said the confessor. "I have indulged in pride, ambition, malice and revenge," groaned the cardinal. "It is too true," said the monk. "Why, you too!," exclaimed the cardinal, in anger, "you don't imagine I mean all this to the letter!" "Ho! ho!" said the confessor, "so you don't have a liar, too, have you." It is said that the humbled cardinal hastily withdrew from the confessional. There are many confessions of sin after the manner of the cardinal's confession! Be Patient. Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself. I mean, do not be disturbed because of your imperfectness, and always rise up bravely from a fall. I am glad that you make a daily new beginning; there is no better means of progress in the spiritual life than to be continually beginning afresh.—S. Frances De Sales. God's Mercies. God's mercies are like the crocuses, they bloom at our feet; they are like the stars, they shine overhead; they are like the atmosphere, we cannot exhaust them; they are like our hopes, they are ever with us. "BOTTLED FOR FAMILY USE" Unpleasant Characteristics Which Are Only Displayed in the Home Circle. A great many products are put up—bottled expressly for family use, only to mention ketchup, pickles, milk and cream. But there are other things that are also bottled up for use in the family, that are not material; but they are kept in store and drawn out upon occasion. Every housekeeper has a supply. What are they? Well, let us variously designate them as temper, impatience, irritability, unreasonableness—these are kept most carefully bottled up for family use, and it is not unfrequently that the stopper is drawn! Bottled up as they are, they often begin to ferment and press for a wider range during business hours and when strangers are by. But the stopper at such times is only pressed down the tighter. It would hurt the business to show irritability and give way to temper. A man would lose his client, or his patient, or his customer or his place if he should give way to. So down it stays till he comes—where? —why, to his dear, peaceful, quiet home, the place he loves, and whose dear inmates he loves. But then they know by his looks that the day's business has been trying, and soon the bottled-up temper which would have injured the business begins to show how it has been kept expressly for family use. Strange—isn't it? We have welcome words for the stranger. And smiles for the sometime guest; But we vex our own with the bitter tone, Though we love our own the best. Oh, lips with the word impatient, Oh, brow with the look of scorn, Two eyes too late Twere a bitter fate were the night too late To undo the work of the morml. And how does it all come about? Why are the testiness and the impatient reply all saved up for the home and the ones we really and devotedly love and care for there? Why, it is all there—the cowardliness and meanness of spirit that lead to this outburst. We dare to do it because we know we can do it and still be tolerated. Men in business and strangers in society would not tolerate it; so we keep it in. But in the family we let it out. In many a character this quality of ill temper stands out as the one glaring defect. Its ferment will permeate a household like an evil leaven; its shadow will brood over an otherwise happy circle like a storm-cloud. For the man who habitually gives way to temper and testiness, there is only one course open, and that is to go apart by one's self and think it out—think what wrong you have done, and how you have injured others. Bitter words are like knives; they leave cruel wounds—wounds that often pierce the most loving hearts. Boys flying kites haul in their white-winged birds; But God Himself can't kill them when they're said. Let the man who is afflicted with this malady sit apart with the Master, and tell it to Him, and get the touch of His healing robe, which will make even the crooked tempers straight There is no other way, declares Christian Work and Evangelist. And no other way is needed, because this is a sufficient way. Let him pray with David: "Create in me a clean heart, God, and renew a right spirit within me." The waspish temper is bad enough when men only are concerned; but when its stinging virus is seen to destroy the peace of the home, making every member suffer, the evil goes deep. Do not give way to it, Christian! Keep the bad spirit down! See to it that you are not the one meant when some shall ask: "What are those wounds in Thy hands?" and He shall answer: "These are the wounds wherewith I was wounded in the house of My friends." GEM THOUGHTS. Half-doing is wrong-doing.—United Presbyterian. Difficulties only increase determination.—Ram's Horn. There are possibilities of the fairest among 10,000 even in the chief of sinners.—Ram's Horn. Beauty works its way from the heart to the countenance. It is the glow of the soul placed where the world can see it.—United Presbyterian. He who rears up one child in Christian virtue, or recovers one fellow creature to God, builds a temple more precious than Solomon or St. Peter's, more enduring than earth or Heaven.—Channing. Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards—they simply unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and imperceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow and wax strong or we grow and wax weak, and at last some crisis shows us what we have become.—Bishop Westcott. Praver and Law. Some object that there are laws and prayer is ineffectual. If I said I swam the Atlantic you would not believe me, because it is contrary to human experience. If I had said to my grandfather 30 years ago I talked to a man in Baltimore he would not have believed me, on the ground that it was contrary to human experience, but, you would believe such a statement to-day, because it has come into our experience. Laws are experiences systematized. Do you say prayer does not benefit? It is the experience of vast multitudes that prayer does benefit. Those who attain the best characters have been men and women of prayer. God is in the world and prayer is the interchange between man and God, and in this commerce you grow into the likeness of Him who prayed and taught us how to pray. Grow without ceasing, therefore, pray without ceasing—Rev. W. J. Thompson. 2321-23 Market Street In the Heart of the Colored Business District. Cars pass the door direct to World's Fair.

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: 20 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. (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. 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. We are getting tired of free doings of Negroes. Wish they would all drop dead and go to Heaven, where they may live on milk and honey free of charge.—Chicago Conservative. The Conservative is not correct. If the Negro is so bad that he can not live with white men on earth, can he live in Heaven with them? We don't wish that, as we expect to go to Heaven. So let the bad Negroes and the bad white men go to the other place. OUR CAUSE. On account of the many inquiries that have come to us, we wish to say The Palladium will be used for the elevation of the Negro race and the success of the republican party. We shall endeavor to bring back to the republican party a few misguided friends who are now working with the democratic party. We shall not abuse or browbeat, but shall present such an argument that will convince them that they should look upon Gorman, Tillman, Graves and Vardemann as the leaders of a party that dose not regard a Negro as a man. We shall do all we can to redeem Missouri from the democratic party, as no party can reform itself from 'now till the election of our next president. We will be found on some part of the republican field. LANDERS CO. First Baptist Notes. Dr. E. C. Cole, preached three sermons last Sunday at the First Baptist church, 11 a. m., 2 p. m. and 7:30 p. m. In his morning sermon he said that God does not dwell in anyone's heart who fails to follow His leadership, and if the spirit of God lead us throughout life, we will conquer. In his 7:30 p. m. sermon he said that there is no nation nor race who needs God on their side more than the Negroes. He related an incident, which happened to him not many days ago, where he went into a store or some place to buy something, and was refused on account of his color, which simply meant, said he, that my money was not wanted. "Yes, said he," we need God on our side—in our homes, and all around us—and if every nation were to serve Him as they ought, there would be no need of standing armies, great navies nor any wars. As to the solving of the Race Question, I believe that God will solve it in a way that will be beneficial to the Negro. This is really true, and it may be necessary to say that the Negroes should take heed to the preached word and live accordingly, united. Work hard, save their money, stand up for God, for principle, for the right, and for good character. When this is done, the world will soon see the end of the Race Question, and all other questions that are detriment to the Negroes." The funeral of Mrs. Caroline Long, of 4700 Page avenue, who died Thursday night, June 2, was preached by Dr. E. C. Cole, at the First Baptist church, last Sunday. The Christian Wisdom society, of which she was a faithful member, turned out in full to pay their last respects to their dead. Quite a crowd were present. The Colcred St. Louis Missionary Club No. 1, a charitable organization, of which Madame Katie Boswell is preside it, turned out last Sunday night at the First Baptist church, just after church service, and gave three or four dollars in the collection. That was indeed so very kind of Madame Boswell. Yes, you may come again, madame. the financial rally will be on again at the First Baptist church, next Sunday, and Dr. E. C. Cole is hopeful of raising $500 sure, if possible. Hence he invites everybody to come and help him cut in this worthy cause. The Carnation club gave a leap-year entertainment, last Thursday night, the 8th, at the First Baptist church. A very large crowd was present. They had a success. Mrs. M. J. Grant, president. The Misses Anna B. and Berdella C. Thomas, of 1314 Clarke avenue, and Mrs. D. Bunch anticipate spending the hot months of July and August in the mountains of the far west. Mrs. Pauline Jones, of Bunker Hill, Ill., was in the city last Sunday, visiting Mrs. Sarah F. Louis, 4264 Kinnerly avenue. She was in attendance at the First Baptist church. The Pleasant Workers' club will give another grand entertainment soon, and Madame Gilree says it will beat anything that she has ever given. What ever she says is law. The Ruth club served an excellent dinner last Sunday, and every hungry person was fed. Mrs. Leatha Newcomb, president. Madame Mattie A. Gilree, of 3004 Lawton avenue, will spend a few weeks in New York, in August. She will be greatly missed from her church. All the different clubs of the First Baptist church met last Sunday, and transacted their weekly business. Miss Bertha Smith, of 3002 Garrison avenue, a very noted young lady of the First Baptist church, is quite a church worker. PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH. Sunday, June 5, there was a grand rally given at the Pilgrim Baptist church, 4227 Kossuth avenue. Rev. W. W. Perry preached an excellent sermon at 2 o'clock. Rev. D. Johnston preached a soul-stirring sermon at 2 o'clock. Rev. W. D. Venable, A. B. B. D, preached the closing sermon, which was full of logic and power. Rev. J. W. Powell, the favorite master of ceremonies, favored the pastor and congregation with excellent service. The sisters served a bountiful dinner. Proceeds from the young ladies' leap year social entertainment were $11.85. Total cash raised, $100.75. REV. R. H. BROWN, Pastor, C. W. BROWN, Clerk. Antioch Church Notes Sunday, the 12th, each member is expected to be in their place, it being covenant and communion services.

The grand rally at St. James A. M. E. church, Sunday the 5th, was quite a success, spiritually and financially. The church was filled to its uttermost capacity. Several pastors and their congregations were present, among them Rev. Hevelon, of the C. M. E., and Rev. McKinney, of the Baptist church, who preached a powerful sermon at 3 p. m., from the 5th chapter of 1stCor. and a part of the 7th verse. The amount raised will be given in next week's issue. A.

LOUIS The Old Relic Given a Noisy Welcome Upon Its Arrival. ESCORTED TO WORLD'S FAIR Received by a Military Guard of Honor and Paraded Through the Grounds—Programme of Patriotic Exercises. St. Louis, June 9.—The historic Liberty Bell, which came to St. Louis in response to the petition of 60,000 public school children of this city, reached the Exposition city this morning after a triumphal tour of half a dozen states. The bell passed through Illinois Tuesday, where, at Galesburg, Springfield and other cities, it was accorded a great reception, patriotic songs being sung by the school children and addresses delivered by prominent citizens. Upon its arrival in the St. Louis Terminal yards the sacred relic was greeted with a chorus from every locomotive whistle and bell in the yards. There were over 20,000 people at Union station to meet the bell, more than half of whom were children. They stood about the station gates for over an hour, awaiting the arrival of the belated train, but entirely too patriotic to move away from watever position they had gained. When they heard the engines in the yards whistling and ringing their wel- THE OLD LIB come to the cracked old symbol of liberty, they raised their voices in another chorus of welcome, and kept it up until the bell was backed in against the midway. The bell hung safely in the center of its flag-bedecked flat car, with the four big Philadelphia policemen, who are its bodyguard, standing linke blue-coated statues at the corner of the car.

For instance," said a painter, relates the San Francisco Park, "there's a mammoth winter storm landscape I've just finished for Mr. Mudd, the bonanza king. It's called 'A Hallstorm in the Adirondacks,' and a visitor who sat down near it the other day caught a sore throat in less than an hour you understand. Why I need to put in the finishing touches with my ulcer and arctic overshoes on." "Don't say?" "Fact, sir; and then there's a little animal gem I did for Gov. Gierkins the other day-portrait of his Scotter terrier Snap. The morning it was done a cat got into the studio, and the minute it saw the picture it went through the video like a 10-inch shell." "Did, ally?" "Yes; and the oddest thing about it was that when I next looked at the canvas the dog's hair was standing up, all along his back, like a porcupine. Now how do you account for that?" "Dunno." "I just beats me. When the governor examined the work he insisted in my painting in a post with the dog chained to it. Said he didn't know what might happen." A Druggist's Story. Coelledo, Mo., June 6.—Mr. Adolph Gerhardt, Chemist and Druggist of this place, was so ill with his back and kidneys that he couldn't work.

He was so delighted with the results he got from this remedy that he wrote:— "Dodd's Kidney Pills are a God-send to suffering humanity. I was down on my back from Kidney Trouble so bad that I was unable to work. I began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and before I had finished one box, I was able to go prow again.

Government Official Was Bound to Get Right, But Again Got Wrong. "Whenever an unknown person of distinguished appearance enters my office, I am reminded of the experience of Frank Vanderlip," said a senator's secretary, according to the Washington Star. "When Vanderlip was Secretary Gage's private secretary, before he grew wield accustomed, he paid little attention to the people he did not know. One day a member of the cabinet called on Secretary Gage and was ignored for some time by Vanderlip, finally going into the private room unannounced. The cabinet officer complained to President McKinley, and the president mentioned it to Secretary Gage, who then impatiently asked, "The next day, Vanderlip turning over a new leaf, one of the first persons to enter was a distinguished looking old fellow with a partriarchal beard. Vanderlip received him with great consideration, handed out a chair, which the old fellow took with gravity and some wonderment. Seating himself opposite, Vanderlip asked, with for you to smile, What can "Oh, nothing,' replied the visitor. I just came to wind the clocks." The Engines of War At a dinner during the Franco-German war Disraeli did not open his mouth till near the end of the entertainment, when he observed in his most sententious manner: "The French embarked in this war because of superiority in arms of precision; they had the chassepot and they had the mitrailouse (which he pronounced "mitrailouse"); but of the third engine, called a man, they did not possess even a single engine; they had the reapsed into perfect silence.—From the Diary of Sir Mountstuart Grant Duff.

"Not that; but he would leave it to me." - Stray Stories TURN OVER TIME When there's no relish to any food and all that one eats doesn't seem to do any good then is the time to make a turn over in the diet, for that's Nature's way of dropping a hint that the food isn't the kind required. "For a number of years I followed railroad work, much of it being office work of a trying nature. Meal times were our busiest and eating too much and too quickly of food such as is commonly served in hotels and restaurants, these together with the sedentary habits were not long in giving me dyspepsia and stomach trouble which reduced my weight from 205 to 160 pounds. "There was little relish in any food and none of it seemed to do me any good. It seemed the more I ate the poorer I got and was always hungry before another meal, no matter how much I had eaten. "Then I commenced a fair trial of Grape-Nuts and was surprised how a small saucer of it would carry me along, strong and with satisfied appetite, until the next meal, with no sensations of hunger, weakness or distress as before. "I have been following this diet now for several months and my improvement has been so great all the others in my family have taken up the use of Grape-Nuts with complete satisfaction and much improvement in health and brain power.

CONSUMPTION Missouri State Gleanings. CAN'T PUNISH FOR CONTEMPT Supreme Court Takes Away Power of the State Board of Arbitration. The supreme court in banc handed down an opinion affecting the powers of the state board of mediation and arbitration, which declares that the board has no power to punish a witness for contempt, nor can that power be delegated to any circuit court to act for the board. The effect of the decision is vital to the state board, as it practically takes away all its power delegated in the legislative act of creating the board. It does not say the act creating the board is unconstitutional, nor that the board can not act in strike matters in arranging a compromise, but if the testifying kitness feel that his constitutional rights are being abridged by the questions of the board he can refuse to answer, and can not then be punished for contempt either by the board or by an application to any court. The case at bar came up from St. Louis. It grew out of the livyermen's strike, in which the state board of arbitration and mediation sought to effect a compromise. Both sides agreed to a settlement of the strike by the board, but when the board asked certain questions, the non-union livyermen refused to answer. Application was then made to Judge Ryan, of the circuit court, to hold the refractory witnesses for contempt. Witness Haughey then made application to the supreme court for a writ of prohibition to prevent Judge Ryan from acting in the contempt proceedings, which application was granted. Holds Verdict to Be Excessive. Judge Johnson set aside the verdict of the jury in the case of Lee Meriwether against Publishers George Knapp & Co., in which plaintiff, at the April term of court, got a verdict for alleged libel for $10,000. Judge Johnson, in his ruling, held that the verdict was exorbitantly excessive, and further that it was in direct confidence with the instructions in the case. The motion to set aside was argued by O. H. Avery, Prosecuting Attorney Dudley and R. L. Sutton represented Meriwether, and strenuously argued against the motion. Lee Meriwether arrived at noon, after Judge Johnson had made his ruling, but the court emphasized its decision, reiterating that the verdict was excessive beyond all reason. Judge Johnson adjourned court and went home, and Mr. Meriwether, returned to St. Louis. Rare Historical Document. A document of more than ordinary historical interest, to which the signatures of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson are both appended, has been secured by Miss Florence Hayward, chief of the department of history of the World's fair. The document defines the rights of the Kaskaskia Indians and recites the fact that the members of the tribe are under the protection and patronage of the United States government, and that any infringement upon these rights will be severely punished. The date of the signing of the document is May 7, 1793. Woman Held on Suspicion. A woman who is said by the police to be a partner of Clara Leach, whose name several years ago was connected with a $5,000 diamond robbery in Baltimore, is under arrest in Kansas City.

She and William Gilbert, who was with her, are being held for investigation. Jewelry and goods to the value of several hundred dollars found in their rooms was confiscated by the police.

Wet and Cool Weather Retards Farm Work--High Water Floods the Lowlands. Columbia, Mo., June 7.—The United States department of agriculture, climate and crop bulletin of the weather bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending June 6. 1904 says: Wet and cool weather prevailed throughout the state during the week. The precipitation was general and heavy, ranging from one and a half inches in the extreme southeast to over seven inches in the western section. Farm work was generally retarded, except in the extreme northeast and southeast portions of the state. In the central and western sections, and also in most of the northern counties,heavy rains completely stopped all farm work three to five days, but work progressed fairly well in the southern sections. In the west-central section considerable damage was done to crops by heavy rain and overflows, especially in bottom lands. The temperature ranged below the normal during the first three days, but the latter part of the week the temperature ranged about normal to slightly above. Corn planting is about completed In the southern sections, and a fair stand is reported; many of the fields have been worked over, a few for the second time. In the northern counties, and, in fact, in most counties north of the Missouri, the crop is only about two-thirds planted, and in the west-central counties the fields are becoming grassy. Too wet and too cool is the general complaint. The later planted corn is generally coming up well, but a large portion of that planted earlier will have to be replanted. Sunshine is badly needed. Wheat, on the uplands, continues fair to good, but is not doing well in the bottom lands on account of too much rain; in some of the west-central counties considerable rust has appeared, and in the extreme east portion chess is complained of. The Hessian fly is reported to be in Dent, Lafayette and Platte counties. Wheat is in bloom as far north as the Missouri river. The oat crop, as a whole, improved slightly during the week, and is heading fairly well, especially in the southern sections. Cotton planting is practically completed in the extreme southeastern counties, and the earlier planted has been worked over and looks well. Pastures are reported to be in excellent condition; old meadows, however, are becoming weedy. Old clover is weedy, but new clover is in good condition. Gardens are much improved, and, as a rule, are in fine shape; the improvement is noted in all sections. Nearly all centers report an improvement in the potato crop, and there is very little complaint of bugs. The melon crop prospects continue good. Apples continue to drop badly in all sections; in the southwest high winds damaged trees to some extent; the outlook for the crop is not promising. There is considerable complaint that plums and pears continue to drop. Cherries and peaches are more favorable; in some of the southern counties the peach crop promises to be fair to good. Strawberries are ripening in all sections, and an excellent yield is reported. Picking and shipping is in progress, except in the extreme northern counties. GEORGE REEDER Mother's Tears Cleared Son The tears of Mrs. Mary Ulrich as she pleaded on the witness stand in Judge Taylor's court, in St. Louis, for the life of her son, Emil Ulrich, aged 18 years, who shot and killed his father, Conrad Ulrich, at their home, on April 19 last, had the effect of causing the jury to bring in a verdict of acquittal, after deliberating hardly five minutes. The youth, according to the testimony had shot his father while defending his mother. The father had arrived home at a late hour, and angered because supper was not in readiness, had attacked his wife with a butcher knife. The son, coming into the room at the time, secured his father's revolver and emptied the contents into his body. She Is Really Afraid.

Lesson in the International Series for June 12, 1904—Christ Crucified THE LESSON TEXT. (Mark 15:22-39.) PLACE--A hill just outside the city of Jerusalem (cityary). NOTES AND COMMENTS "They bring Him unto the place Golgotha:" It was the common place of execution. The exact spot is not known, nor is the location of Gethsemane, though both are pointed out to-day. It is possible, however, that the location just outside the city wall on the north is correct. "The place of a skull:" So called because of its resemblance to a skull. Our word calvary is from the Latin calvaria, skull. "Wine mingled with myrhr: " Sometimes supposed to have been a drink prepared to deaden the pain of the sufferer, but neither the priests nor the executioners seem to have been anxious to spare Him pain. Compare Matt. 27:34, where He tastes it and then rejects it. It had simply been another attempt to torture Him in His intense thirst by offering Him something which looked like refreshing drink but was not. "They crucify Him:" By nailing Him to the cross while it lay upon the ground and then raising it and dropping it into the socket prepared for it. Crucifixion was then what hanging is-to-day, the most disgraceful death a man could die, and at the same time the most painful. The suffering of the vietim grew steadily worse till death came not from a mortal wound but from the maddening pain and from hunger and thirst. The last hours of execution were the worst, and these, owing to His early death, Jesus was mercifully spared. "It was the third hour:" Nine o'clock in the morning. "The superscription of His accusation:" It was common to put a placard above the head of a crucified man stating his crime. Pilate could not resist the temptation to make the placard read so as to hurt the pride of the Jews all he could. On this point read John 19:19-22. In studying this section compare the attitude of the crowd, even of the idle passers-by, with their ridicule and sneers, with that of the dying man upon the cross. Jesus spoke seven times during the ordeal. Study His spirit from those utterances. The first word from the cross was: "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34); the second: "Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise" (Luke 23:43); the third: "Woman, behold, thy son! . . Behold thy mother!" (John 19:27). "When the sixth hour was come:" Twelve o'clock, high noon. "There was darkness over the whole land till the ninth hour:" Luke's expression, 'the sun's light failing' cannot mean an eclipse, since an eclipse at Passover time, that is, at full moon, is an impossibility. The conjecture that dense clouds hid the sun is common and is as suitable as any other. Whatever the cause, the evangelists saw in it a token of nature's awe at the death of the Son of God."—Prof. Rush Rhees. "At the ninth hour:" Three o'clock in the afternoon. The fourth word from the cross was: "My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" The words of Ps. 22:1. He was altogether natural that Jesus Who had lived in the atmosphere of the Hebrew scriptures all His life should express the feeling of desolation and loneliness which swept over His soul in the words of the precious Psalm. It was only a feeling, however—a truly human cry, and Jesus did not for a moment believe that God had forsaken Him. The fifth word was: "I thirst" (John 19:28); "The sole expression of bodily suffering." The sixth: "It is finished" (John 19:30), and the last: "Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit" (Luke 23:46). He knows that the Father has not forsaken Him. And so, with His thought still for others in the very hour of his death, Jesus finished His mission and attained rest. The spectacle of His death impresses us almost more than His life with His divinity, and we instinctively worship. "The vell of the temple was rent in two:" The great curtain, 20 feet long and 20 broad, between the Holy place and the Holy of Holies. "The old mystery surrounding Israel's God had vanished: the age of types had passed; the Holy of Holies was opened to every believer." On the words of the centurion, read the R. V margin which is undoubtedly correct. LITTLE SPURS. A false prophet always wants a full profit. If you are a live lighthouse you do not need a whistle. Whatever Christ can do in one man, He can do in the race. God puts up fences to keep the enemy out, as well as to keep the saints fn. A selfish church has no more chance of God's blessing than a selfish man. The worm that works in the trunk is always advertised somewhere on the branches. The man who identifies himself with the dollar sign for many years is apt to become crooked. The man who fails while trying to do good, has more honor than he who succeeds by accident. The existence of a few weeds is no argument for the rejection of the whole garden. It is never safe to trust God's business to the man who neglects his own. It is a dark day for the race when insatiable greed becomes the mark of greatness. Many a man who will warm up recommending his favorite cough cure, will cool off considerably when he gets around to his religion.—Ram's Horn. A Fine Point in Banking Banks do not usually accept checks which call for one dollar more than the amount of deposit, unless the customer is well known, and the officers are confident that he will promptly make up the balance. Thus, if a check for $200 is presented and the maker has only $192 to his credit, the paper will usually go back stamped "no funds." But one attorney recently got around that. He had, after long dunning, secured a check from a slow-pay debtor. When it was presented for collection he found that the deposit lacked eight dollars of the amount the paper called for, and payment was refused. Thereupon he promptly deposited eight dollars to amount of the creditor and gained $192 by the operation, for the check was cashed.—Worchester (Mass.) Gazette. Hashed Words. "N—n—n—n—never!" replied Vladimir de Montmorency, the hall bedroomer, fully aroused. The infuriated woman hesitated. "He stutters," she reflected, aside, "and if I insist he will go telling around that I made him eat hash!"

First Lady of Hawaii: The first lady of Hawaii, the wife of the president of the republic, is an American and a descendant of President John Adams.

Adams, who was a prominent merchant in Honolulu, that she met Sanford B. Dole, the son of a missionary, who is now president of Hawaii. They were married in 1873.—N. Y. Tribune. Matrimonial. Johnnie Fewsads and Gus De Smith were talking about matrimony, and the latter remarked: "They say that the happiest marriages are between people who are not at all alike." "That's so, and that's the reason I'm not going to marry until I find a woman with lots of money," replied the impecunious yearner for domestic happiness.—N. Y. World. Modern Discourses. Mrs. Fondmother (sticking her head out of the window)—Johnnie, come right here. I will teach you to be fighting other boys on the street. Johnnie—Not much do I come.
