LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1904. DASTARDLY ASSAULT. Three "Men" Attack the Palladium Man, But He Wasn't Whipped. Last Saturday, about 2 o'clock p.m., as we left the Jefferson avenue car, Dr. Fields, his brother and others assaulted the Palladium man, and there was 'three on him. Yet the Palladium man came out best. Dr. Fields' head was laid open by the Palladium man's 44 English bull dog. What was the cause of it? What was the cause of it? Friday night, June 19, Wheeler and Fields met. Wheeler remarked: "Fields, I see that you are going to get married. What about it?" "Oh," said Dr. Fields, I might, and I might not," and Wheeler passed on. On Wednesday, as Miss Sager was preparing the matter for the paper, she came across the article that read as follows: "We hear Dr. Fields is to take unto himself a helpmeet in the near future. The lady in question is his office girl, Miss Lee Anna Carey. They will reside at present location where she is living. The doctor is all smiles." Wheeler said to Miss Sager: "See, these come to me; but so long as they are meaningless little articles, let them go." At this she smiled, and passed on to another article. On Friday, after we had mailed the paper, Wheeler met Dr. Fields, and said to him: "I see the young lady in question is your office girl?" "Oh, yes," he said, "I have received several anonymous letters, and I suppose they come from the girl I discharged several months ago." At last Wheeler said: "It is in the papers this week." At this he said: "You ought to have better judgement than that, as I have never deserved to that yes." Wheeler said: "An office girl or a working girl is as good as any other, so long as they are ladies. As Fred Douglas married his copyist, and there are a number of our wealthiest and most aristocratic white gentlemen marrying their housekeepers, and in my judgment they are as good as you." He then repeated the words, and said: "Maybe, but I have not descended to that yet." "Oh!" Wheeler said, "then you seem to think that you are better than the average Negro and white man." He then said: "I don't thank you for what you put in your paper about me." At this sally, Wheeler said: "I don't care." On Saturday about 11 o'clock a.m., when Wheeler came home, his niece said that Dr. Fields had come to his house. About 2 o'clock as Wheeler took the Jefferson avenue car, and got off at Morgan and Jefferson, the three were standing on the southwest corner, seemingly awaiting his arrival. As they saw him alight they came to him at once, and Wheeler, he is sorry to say, that then and there trouble began. Now as the general public knows, The Palladium man is not a trouble-hunter, but if trouble is forced upon him, he certainly will protect himself. He was assaulted by Dr. Fields, his brother and others. On approaching him Fields shook his umbrella in Wheeler's face. Wheeler told him not to do that again, and he did so, and Wheeler knocked it away. At this Fields struck at Wheeler with his umbrella, and Wheeler warded off the blow, and drew his 44-calibre English bull-dog, and beat him over the head with it. At this he ran behind Dr. Curtis. Wheeler tried to point over Dr. Curtis' shoulder, to shoot, but some one grabbed him from behind and then Curtis and Fields closed in on Wheeler in the struggle they fell, Fields and Curtis on him trying to get the revolver from him. Some one kicked him in the head and face several times, till Mr. Taylor, the brother of the druggist, came to his assistance. Wheeler gave him the revolver, and then got up and Fields was led from the battle ground as bloody as a bull-dog, and was carried into the drug store, 809 North Jefferson avenue, to get his head sewed up, and Wheeler was conducted to the Taylor drug store to get the dust brushed off him. He knows who two of the assailants were, but the third he doesn't know, and cares less. He only knows that there were three on him, but the Palladium man came out best, and if any two of them wish to revive the contest, Wheeler is ready. An office girl as a working girl, in Dr. Fields' estimation, is not good enough for him. Perhaps he is going to try for some of the Royalty that is attending the Fair. We have not as yet got a pen picture of the great Fields. But we will soon find out where he comes from. MADRID 380 Prof. Du Bois Ill. Prof. W. E. B.

HISTORY THE HOME OF THE MAYOR NEW JERSEY BUILDING, WORLD'S F AIR. --- INDEED, SOFT. We are just in receipt of a letter from the editresses, Miss K. Johnson and Miss Erahble Morgan, stating that they have arrived in New Orleans. They speak in the highest terms of the hospitable and courteous way they were received. They are stopping with one of the family in New Orleans. They are attending parties daily. They were invited to a whist party, and of course Miss Morgan won. Many sights they see. For instance, in St. Louis two seats on street cars are reserved for smoking; in New Orleans two seats are reserved for Colored patrons. As far as hospitality and sociability are concerned, New Orleans people are far ahead of our St. Louisans. She will learn that she has became involved a fracas within a very common Negro. Dr. Fields.

Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics.

LOUIS, MO. SILAS C, SWALLOW AND G. W. CARROLL Named for President and Vice-President By Prohibitionists. MR. SWALLOW MAY DECLINE Says That Unless His Wife's Health Improves He Will Be Compelled Indianapolis, Ind., July 1.—The prohibition party in national convention, Thursday nominated Silas C. Swallow, of Pennsylvania, for president, and George W. Carroll, of Texas, for vice-president. The platform was adopted without argument, after a long deadlock described by I. H. Amos, of Oregon, secretary of the committee, as the broadest platform ever placed before the people by the party. In addition to the planks on the liquor question, it declares the party to be in favor of international arbitration, uniform laws for the country and dependencies, popular election of senators, civil service extension, and the initiative and referendum. The trust question was recognized by a demand for a rigid application of the principles of justice to all organizations of capital and labor. A reform of divorce laws is demanded and polygamy denounced. Gen. Miles put an end to the movement to nominate him for president by sending a telegram to John G. Woolley, which reached him shortly after noon, asking that his name be not presented. This was considered final, and the movement to nominate Mr. Swallow was unanimous, no other name being considered. Over $16,000 was raised by subscription pledges from the floor of the convention, which, with $11,000 in the treasury, will be the nucleus of the campaign fund. National Chairman Stewart and National Secretary Tate were re-elected The prohibition editors organized for the campaign by electing Edward Clark, of Indianapolis, president. The convention programme closed with a mass meeting, at which addresses were made by National Chairman Stewart, John J. Woolley and others. Several hundred of the delegates left for St. Louis to visit the exposition. MAY DECLINE THE NOMINATION. Dr. Swallow Yet Undecided as to Whether He Will Accept. Harrisburg, Pa., July 1—Dr. Sila C Swallow may decline the nomination after all. In response to a congratulatory telegram, he sent the folowing to Chairman Stewart: "Harrisburg, Pa., June 30. "Hon. Oliver W. Stewart, Prohibition National Convention, Indianapolis, Ind.: "If honor referred to in your dispatch implies duties requiring my absence from home, while I highly appreciate any honor or duty the grandest party of the age can give me, yet unless Mrs. Swallow's health greatly improves, I would be compelled to decline.

Shelton, of Kan- sas City, eloped Saturday night with Miss Irene Poynter, of Lexington, he not only jilted a girl in Kansas City whom he was to have married the next morning, but he wedded a young ‘woman who admits that she, too, broke @ marriage engagement without the customary notice and discussion. Shelton and his bride are now at Franklin Junction, Howard county, Kan., waiting for news from home in- dicating that the storm has blown over. Miss Poynter, now Mrs. Shelton, is said to have promised to be the wife of telegraph operator at Lexington and the ceremony was to have taken place June 30. But the Kansas City girl, who says she is glad she escaped, and the telegraph operator, whose opinion is not known, are not the only ones who have been deceived. Rev. R. A. Neville, rector of Calvary Hpis- copal church at Sedalia, who per- formed the ceremony, has written and signed a statement to the effect that Shelton told him at the altar that he had never been married before: May Do Something Rash. A Knox county paper says a woman living near Baina is almost ready to have her husband placed under bond to keep the peace. .A few days ago he knocked her senseless with a board and a day or two later hit her with a chair and she is afraid he will hurt her. : Hardiy Fair.

Davis and Joel Taylor, the latter only 13 years ‘old, at St. Lows, the police, it is claimed thwarted plans to secure $500 by means of blackmail and threats of death from A. P. Hill, a wealthy fatm~ er of Diamond. A letter addressed to Hill fictitiously, it is said, in which the writer threatens torture to Hill unless hé shall leave the money at a certain spot on the railroad, was found in Davis’ pocket. .The letter was stamped and ready for the posting, and, as Davis stated, would have been on its way to Diamond if he had not been arrested. The boy arrested with Davis stated that he is the son of B. B, Taylor, a-feed and grain merchant of Diamond, Newton county, He stated that up to last Sunday Davis had been employed on a farm owned by his father near Diamond. Sunday, he stated, he stole $18 from his father and gave the money to Davis, who purchased tickets for the pair to Went- worth, They remained there a few hours and then went to St. Louis. Davis admitted to the police that four years ago he had killed a man at Ga- lena, but said that the killing had Deen done in self-defense. He wanted to get away from life in the country, he stated, and had hoped to secure the $500 in order to start in business in the city. The Taylor boy was suffer- ing from a badly sprained and swollen wrist, which he stated he had suffered while hanging on a trestle to escape a train. The letter addressed to Hill was written in red ink. A loaded re- volver was also found in Davis’ pocket. The boy was held to await word from Statathae. Sane, But Impecuntous. On trial for insanity one day and married the next is the experience of ‘W. D. Wilton Wallace, of Clay county. ‘When it became known that he was about to be married, his brother, Rob- ert Wallace, swore out information charging him with being of unsound mind and incapable of attending to business matters. ‘The case was tried by a jury before Probate Judge Hop- kins at Liberty. The jury’s verdict was that Wallace was “capable of at- tending to his own business.” He was accordingly released and was mar- ried by Judge Hopkins to Miss Deelvi- na Spry. Miss Spry’s age is barely 15, while “Duke,” as Wallace is known, is past 43. Wallace is without means and Judge Hopkins good-naturedly performed the ceremony free of charge. I Ee eas Wades A Jersey cow, followed by 6 swarm of bumble bees, caused a wiid stam- pede among the spectators at a base- ball game aout a mile south of Rich- mond. Scores of people ran against a barbed wire fence in a frantic effort to avoid the advances of the cow and many had their clothing torn into shreds in an endeavor to free them- selves from the tangles of the wire. Others, more athletic, cleared the four- strand fence and got away in safety. After the cow had made a couple of cireuits about the grounds the bumble pees concluded to punish the crowd and this again brought on several cross-lot sprints for town. The game was abandoned owing to the excite- ment and the bees were Jeft in posses- sion of the field.

But, unlike the grand master, we succeeded in putting the assailants to flight, and although they did not get from The Palladium man the writer of this little inoffensive article: “WE HEAR DR. FIELDS IS TO TAKE UNTO HIMSELF A HELP- MEET IN THE NEAR FUTURE. ‘THE LADY IN QUESTION IS HIS OF- FICE GIRL, MISS LEE ANNA CAREY. THEY WILL RESIDE AT PRESENT LOCATION, WHERE SHE IS LIVING. THE DOCTOR IS ALL SMILES.” £ And yet The Palladium man has no feeling of regret in the matter, but asks all his friends and foes to go to the Douglass Buffet and drink to the honor of the defeated assaulters, at 2645 Law- ton avenue. We are informed that Dr. 8. P. Staf- ford will be in the city soon, and he will take The Palladium man to task for this article: “DR. STAFFORD WILL TAKE UNTO HIMSELF A BRIDE ON JUNE 29, YOU HAVE OUR BEST WISHES, DOCTOR.” At any rate, we will be on our guard. ‘Then there is another. All three of these articles were sent to this office, and we did not have any more judg- ‘ment than to insert them in the paper: MISS EASTON, WHO HAS BEEN WITH US FOR THE PAST -SIX YEARS, WILL, BE MARRIED IN CINCINNATI AT HIGH NOON, JUNE 29 ; Now let the public judge which is wads kake ad eet de tes AE “Theodore Roosevelt will be our next president. eel Every Negro in St. Louis ought to read The Palladium.

I haven't seen it since the last celebration—and—" II "Of course you haven't," said Mrs. Hickerson. "Don't you know you gave it to that man who came here last summer? You said you didn't want to see the old thing again." "Did I? Why, that suit cost me $27." "And you bought it the summer I went without a bonnet. You know you did, Hickerson. You'll have to wear something else to-morrow. They've made you grand marshal, I hear." "Yes. You see the appreciation in which I am held by the people. It means future and greater honors and—" "The last time you wore that uniform Herkimer's bull calf tried to get out of the pasture at you. There's too much red in the suit for Independence day. Why, you'd look like Cornwallis in it even if you had it." "Well, I've got to wear something to-morrow." "Maybe the tramp will drop round in time and loan you the uniform." Hickerson said nothing, but went upstairs and dived into the wardrobe. In the darkest corner his hand touched something and lo! out came the flashy garments. "I thought she didn't know anything about it," he said triumphantly. "Gave that suit to a tramp? Well, I guess not. It is a little red," he went on, surveying the garments. "Wasn't made for a Fourth of July celebration, but it'll do." He carried the suit downstairs and exhibited it to his wife. "Found it, did you?" she said. "I thought you wouldn't go poking round after the old thing. They'll take you for a full-fledged Britsher in that." "But a marshal of a parade is permitted to wear anything that suits him, I reckon. Besides—" "Whom will you impersonate, Cornwallis or Burgoyne?" Hickerson did not reply, but stalked off with the suit. She heard him L. MART "Take It Off," Cried the Leader. prushing it up in the next room. Hickerson tried it on and went to the mirror. "Cornwallis or Burgoyne, eh?" he exclaimed. "What does she know about the revolution, I'd like to know." The next day he appeared on the streets with the flaming garments. As he walked down to the headquarters of the parade to get his horse he was the observed of all observers. Spicertown was filling up, so were some of its citizens. "What's that over yonder?" cried a man on the opposite side of the street from Hickerson. "What rascally Englishman wants to insult a free-born people with that uniform? Here, boys! here's a real Britisher." Hickerson saw half a dozen fellows rush out of a resort and cross the street. "Take it off!" cried the leader. "Take what off? I'm a free-born American and the grand—" "You're nothing of the kind. This is the glorious Fourth of July and we don't allow any Britisher on the streets. We don't." "But, gentlemen, I'm Samuel Hickerson, and I've been appointed—" "Put no one but Americans on guard,' said Washington,' was the interruption. "This is Freedom's day." * * * "Samuel," said Mrs. Hickerson a few minutes later as she held up the torn uniform, "the doctor says you stood the stitching very well, quite like an old soldier. The cuts on your head aren't very deep, and your arm isn't broken. They're going past the house now." "Let 'em go. Mary. I wish King George had conquered this blasted country after all. And that uniform? Don't wait for a tramp to come for it. Throw it in the ash-bin." Doing Her Share. The Others (about to start on a Fourth of July picnic)—Why, Mrs. Kersmith, where is your basket of luncheon? Mrs. Kersmith—I didn't have time to pack any. But I've engaged a surgeon. He will join us at the grounds. —Chicago Tribune. TE LESSONS DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE THE FOURTH Bird of Freedom Celebrates the Fourth PHILIPPINES PANAMA PORTO RICO ACK of the tom-toms, gimcracks s, fireworks, semi-Mardi Gras features and general fanfare onade attendant upon Fourth of July celebrations is a healthy, deep-seated sentiment, which may well be termed patriotism—a love for and abiding faith in the re- B public. The young and the thoughtless and lively of all ages must need find outlet for their enthusiasm in display of flags, roll of the drum and much noise of every kind. But these sound-and-mess-producing ones of this generation know, as well as do the quiet and sedate people, that this is a Nation, to be always spelled with a big N. These lively and thoughtless ones would be first to respond to the call of their country for soldiers, and would fight valiantly beneath the waving holds of Old Glory. All could respond and appreciate, and they bless God for it, the meaning of the Fourth of July—the birthday of a nation, in fullest liberty because of the people and for the people. The fathers who framed the immortal Declaration of Independence knew their business; that it was serious and momentous, possibly fraught with near death for themselves. "We must all hang together," said one of the signers, meaning that every member should sign the document. "Yes, hang together, or separately," quickly responded the wit among that body. They might have their jokes among themselves, but they well knew that the great undertaking was the most momentous of their lives; it proved to be the grandest of the century. The French revolution, even, was not nearly so important in its results. The France of to-day has scarcely more than one-half the population of the United States, and excels the latter only in art, music and literature. But France was a great nation 1,000 years before Jefferson wrote the lines of the Declaration of Independence. Our fathers were wise men and they knew that in this act they were making history, most colossal history. Hence they were deliberate, earnest and marvelously thorough. As a piece of literature it stands forth a magnificent English classic; its sentiment is lofty and inspiring. Until this July 4, 1776, the Americans were a body of revolters against constituted authority. They were rebels against their king and traitors to their country. Had the British been successful in the conflict the names of the great leaders of the revolution would scarcely have been named in history. The Declaration was read 11 days later in New York city, on a spot just in front of the present city hall, before the entire continental army, which received it with wildest enthusiasm; just as did the people at their homes all over the country. It stopped dissension, sealed unity and strengthened all in a glorified purpose to conquer or die. No wonder that American people are proud of this great work, which converted attained rebels into dignified revolutionists. The act promoted admiration abroad, just as it excited admiration at home. It paved the way for recognition of this country by France and most effective assistance from the king of that country. The original copy, signed by the members themselves, is preserved with the greatest care at Washington, being justly regarded as one of the most il- lustious state documents in all the world. If Magna Charta gave liberty to the English people, the Declaration of Independence assured a grand nation to the world, contributed largely to the overthrow of the French monarchy, and has caused its impress to be felt in every country, Russia itself not excepted. Hail, then, the anniversary, and welcome. Let it never cease to be commemorated with appropriate ceremonies, this august natal day of a great and prosperous people, which is altogether free. Were it less esteemed, the fact would foretoken a decline of patriotism—a forgiving of links into a chain for the binding of the limbs of liberty. WILLIAM ROSER COBB. HAD A STILL LIVELIER TIME.

"Fireproof" Buildings of Baltimore. As to fireproof buildings, it appears that few of them in Baltimore resisted the flames, and that those that still stand are in general so much damaged that they are unsafe, and will have to be torn down. This fact, however, does not really affect their fireproof quality, for technically there is no claim that they were fireproof. "Slow-burning construction" is the technical name for what is popularly known as making a building "fireproof," and structures so built discovered their quality as such by resisting the flames until they were surrounded by fire. If it had not been for the older and more inflammable buildings, they would not have succumbed. As has been proved in this city, separate rooms, even separate floors, might have been burned out, but the buildings themselves would have remained intact. Under ordinary circumstances, therefore, so-called "fireproof" structures deserve their name. Baltimore buildings, however, were subjected to a cruel and unusual test, and yielded finally to a trial not made in one fire out of a thousand. No alteration in the principle of construction, therefore, is made necessary by the fire in Baltimore, though some limitation as to the height of the build- and Express. A Soft Answer. An Irishman was called upon to give evidence in a shooting affray. "Did you see the shot fired?" asked the magistrate. "To, sor, but I heard it," replied the witten. "That' is not satisfactory. Step down." As the Irishman turned to go he laughed, and was rebuked by the magistrate, who told him it was contempt of court. "Did yez see me laugh?" "No; but I heard you." "That is not satisfactory." And then the court laughed. TWO STEPS. A sick coffee drinker must take two steps to be rid of his troubles and get strong and well again. The first is to cut off coffee absolutely. That removes the destroying element. The next step is to take liquid food (and that is Postum Food Coffee) that has in it the elements nature requires to change the blood corpuscles from pale pink or white to rich red, and good red blood builds good strong and healthy cells in place of the broken down cells destroyed by coffee. With well-boiled Postum Food Coffee to shift to, both these steps are easy and pleasant. The experience of a Georgian proves how important both are. "From 1872 to the year 1900 my wife and I had both been afflicted with sick or nervous headache and at times we suffered untold agony. We were coffee drinkers and did not know how to get away from it for the nabit is hard to quit. "But in 1900 I read of a case similar to ours where Postum Coffee was used in place of the oid coffee and a complete cure resulted, so I concluded to get some and try it. "The result was, after three days' use of Postum in place of the coffee I never had a symptom of the old trouble and in five months I had gained from 145 pounds to 163 pounds. "My friends asked me almost daily what wrought the change. My answer always is, leaving off coffee and drinking Postum in its place. "We have many friends who have been benefited by Postum. "As to whether or not I have stated the facts truthfully I refer you to the Bank of Carrollton or any business firm in that city where I have lived for many years and am well known."

With the <a { living constantly mounting higher, yd sources of income disavpearing aud old nes-of effort closing up, it is snvowraging to find that the ceaseless jange and progress of the times is ypening new fields of endeavor to the intelligent and ambitious. The Bos- ton Daily Globe gives a notable exam- ple in the ease of the famous Jack Loudon, the brilliant war correspond- nt, now at the front, who secured his inst substantial recognition as a writer risht here in this elty, when he was jist about to give up in despair.

A WORTHY BENEVOLENCE. ‘The Home for Orphaned Children et Council Bluffs, Towa, Started 21 Years Ago. Twenty-one years ago Rev. J. G. Lemen, pastor of a large church at Council Bluffs, Ia., took Into his homie three orphaned children in need of such. a refuge. Learning of other homeless little ones he soon filled . 's house with them, until his own re- sources were exhausted, and he saw the necessity for larger quarters, which he ‘seeured. Out of this benevolent movement has grown a well-estab- lished and well-appointed permanent home for ncedy orphaned little ones, and it is stated about 215 such children ‘are now being cared for in the 2 cottages and other buildings belonging to the organization founded by Mr. Lemen. ‘The Home is non-sectarian and is in- dorsed and supported by ell denomina- tions, Children are frequently adopt- ed by families whose good character has been vouched for. A valuable lit- tle paper, the subseription price of which is 25 cents per year, is pub- lished oy the workers. It 1s called “The Word and the Way.” Informa- tion regarding the carrying on of the good work may be obtained by ad- dressing the Christian Home at Coun- afl Bluffs, Ia. A Lasting Cure.

Ghristianity a Constant and Varied Factor in Human Life—Old, ‘Sak: Sree eek Spring is nature's revelation oi vitality. There has been the hiding of power during the winter, now ‘there is the exhibition of latent strength. Ths trees seem to say: “We will show you that we are alive;” the fields exult in their verdure, the little flowers compel attention by their fragrance and beauty. ‘The perennial power of nature as seen in the springtide expression is a help to remind us of the same char- acteristic resident in Christianity. The crisis makes it manifest. This perennial power is seen in the ability of Christianity to show up sin till we are disgusted with it. With a microscope the water from a pond appears disgusting, Chris tianity -acts as a lens to give moral sight and sin shocks as it did the dying thief by its contrasts. The sainted Mrs. Ballington Booth’s presence in a prison made men fee! a longing to be soul-pure. The Bible fs not found in the saloon, ete, be- cause of its power to convince of sin. ‘This perennial power is seen in that Christianity does not only dis- gust with sin, it redeems from sin, says Rey. John H. Davis, A. M., in Christian Work. The microscope re- veals truth and sends us away dis gusted, the scientist comes and says: Boil the water and destroy its in- jurious properties. Christianity _ to the sin-sick soul says you can be made perfectly whole, because its mission is to save the lost. Paul said: “And you hath He made alive who were dead in trespasses and sins.” To-day the same power persists in Christianity. Darwin, great mn his own reaim, and who had been dwelling on the age- working processes of evolution, was amazed at the wonder working power of missionary effort. A barbaric self- eating people were transformed into a sei=respecting, peace-loving people in about a decade, He at once sent £20 ($100) to the missionary society and zontinued to do so annually, That was a tribute to grace and not to evo- lution, Christianity comes in be- ween cause and effect in such a mar- velous manner that what would be, sannot come. Love overleaps law in ts cagerness to redeem. To save the lost is the great reason Christ gave for His couting, The substitution of svolution for redemption is a danger- ous procedure; the teachings of Dar- win do not inelude the xin problem. Social progress is determined by its morelity and morality is the result of Shristianity. ‘Then again, the perennial power of Christianity is seen in its influence In creating iaeals. The protests against slavery were effective. Those against the importa- Hons of Chinese as slaves into Africa recently are sure to compel England to remedy this evil. ‘The personal life is elevated because the Christian is never satisfed. Paul wanted the prize of perfection in Shrist Jesus. The Christian, like the nautilus, must shed his shell and build “more stately temples,” as Dr. Holmes puts it. ‘Then again there is the perennial power of the eternal hope. Without the bright visions of a better life this world would ‘be a dungeon to many. ‘The poor widow gives the last bread to her children, and thinks of the home where they hunger no nore. The hero and home builder strugsles ‘m, hoping to hear the “Well done.” He endures his daily battle “as seeing him who is invisible,” and “he has respect unto the recompense of the reward.” The darling child has gone and the broken-hearted parents are in agony till they hear 'the Scripture, “there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying,” etc. tnen they take heart and sunshine comes into their lives. Ever frash is the power of Chris: Hanity to heal sin and bless man- Kind. Never will it be inadequate to sffect all the moral changes necessary for the world’s transformation and moral progress. “Dear dyme Lamb, Thy preetous blood ver Tose its power mma ail the ransomed church of Go@ Be saved to sin no more” YHE SUNDAY BIBLE SCHOOL. {esson in the International Series for July 3, 1904—“The King- dom Divided.” (Prepared by the “Highway and By- ae ae eee een a te third day, 18. And’ the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men’s counsel that they gave him; 4M. And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying: My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke; my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scor- plone, . 15, Wherefore the king hearkened not tunto the people; for the cause was from the Lord, that he might perform his saying, Which the Lord spake by Ahijah the Shilon- te unto Jervboam the gon of Nebat. 16, So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people an- awered the king, saying: What portion rave we in David? neither have we Inher- tance in the son of Jesse; to your tents, © Israel; now see to thine own house, David. #0 Israei departed anto their tents, M7, But as for the childre ct israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam feigned over them, : 1S. Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get hlm up to bis chariot, to flee to Jeruaa lem, 18. So Istacl rebelled against the house of David unto this day. 20. And it came to pass, when all Israel hearé that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and eailed him unto the congre- gation, and made him king over ail Isracl; there eas none that foliowed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

He was brought up amidst the voluptuousness and idolatry — that | marked the closing yeays of Solomon's |reizn. How a young man is handi- |eapped who has not a good mother and father. And on the other hand see how blessing rested upon Rehoboam in that one tmbe and Jerusalem were left to hima, because of the promise of God to David, his !grandfather—(1 King: 11:13). Rehoboam’s Opportunity. — Reho- boam’s pride shut the door of oppor tunity and opened that of disaster. He had the splendid opportunity of deal- ing justly and generously and healing the breach between Israel and Judai, but pride and self-will made him deat to wisé advice and blind to the right course, His mind was made up from the first and he was not sincere in seeking advice, but rather wanted flat- tering confirmation of his own views. How common is this sin of pride and self-will, and how it shuts the way of wholesome opportunity and invites dis- aster. How prone we are to reject ad- vice that is counter to our ows? preju- diced views. The Rehcboam spirit is not yet extinct. The Golden Text finds most striking exemplification in the syents of our lesson. Soed Thoughts, Earthly rulers generally inhpose ertev- Earthly rulers generally inhpose erteyv- ous yokes, but there is one King Whose yoke is truly light, for He shares the yoke and always beers the heavier end. King Rehoboam boasted and then fied for his iife. It nearly always proves true that the boaster in the end is forced tc take filght and makes a sorry spectacle of himself.

I had been troubled with stomach trouble and poor digestion for some years, and although I tried many remedies and dieting, nothing seemed to restore my health until I used Peruna, In three months I had entirely recovered my health and strength.”— Mary Burns. i Sark A Large Trial Box and book of in« structions absolutely Free and Post paid, enough to prove the value of Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic Be sor to “aleve in (eile iiteaertestis oe Log, sich ticks Writes Er NGA ne ere, ed Ne i eee 4 ET tion’ fasts Penger=— ‘ By gots farther_tar ore ‘ Sis te Goo tenty nd oe Asse eS ‘you can buy. ~The formula of « noted Boston physician, and used with great success as a Vaginal Wash, for Leucorrheea, Pelvic Catarrh, Nasal Catarrh, Sore Throat, Sore Eyes, Cuts, -and all soreness of mucus membrane, In local treatment of female ills Paxtine is Invaluable, Used as a Vaginal Wash we challeage the wo:ld to produce its equal for thoroughness.

Nervousness is very common among ‘women. This condition is due toanaemic nerve centers, The nerve centers are the reservoir for nerve vitality. These centers become bloodless for the want of proper nutrition. ‘This condition is especially noticeable during the warm season. Every sum~ mer an army of invalids are produced as a direct result of weak nervous systems. This could easily be overcome by the use of Peruna, Peruna strikes at the root of the trouble by correcting the digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes Increased nutrition for the nerve centers. Perfectly digested food gives these reser- yoirs of life a vitality which creates strong, steady nerves, and in this man= ner fortifies and nourishes life. ‘Miss Blanche Grey, prominent young society woman of Memphis, Tenn,, ina recent letter from 174 Alabama sireet, writes: “To a society woman whose nervous force fs often taxed to the utmost from lack of rest and irrecular meals, I know of nothing which is of somuch benefit as Peruna." 1 took it a few. months ago when I felt my strength giving way, and it soom made itselt manifest in giving me new strength and health.’"—Miss Blanche Grey. Pe-ru-na Contains no Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found permanent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Pe- rina is perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquir~ ing a drug habit. Peruna does not pro- duce temporary results. It is perma nent in its effect. It has no bad effect upon the system, and gradyally eliminates catarrh by removing the cause of catarrh. There are a multitude of homes where Peruna has been used off end on for twenty years. Such a thing could not be possi~ ble if Perna contained any drugs of @ narcotic nature. ‘At this seazon of the year we are peculiarly liable to inflammations of the stomach and bowels. It is the part of wisdom to learn how to cut them short and in the easiest and quickest manner. Peruna does this by its peculiar power over all forms of catarrhal troubles, .

LINCOLN INTEGRATE MISSOURI STATE SCHOOL FOR COLORED YOU TH Lincoln institute closed the most successful term in its history. Forty-two graduates received diplomas from the full course and 46 from the half course. State Superintendent of Public Schools W. T. Carrington delivered the diplomas, and in the course of his remarks said to the very large audience of people from all over this state, and many from adjoining states, that he had been acquainted with the work of Lincoln institute for the past 20 years, and it is in better condition now under the administration of President B. F. Allen than it has ever been. The following facts speak volumes for the administration of President B. F. Allen: That the faculty is larger, and working in harmony and doing better work; that the student body has increased in numbers and improved in appearance; that it is the first time in the history of the school that the whole faculty was re-elected unanimously, and had its salary increased; that instead of chopping off heads, President B. F. Allen has been adding to the faculty; that he has added several new departments, including domestic science, shoemaking, secretary to the faculty, a department of agriculture, a department of pedagogy, a teacher of instrumental music, a teacher of blacksmithing, and an assistant teacher; all this in the short period of two years. In recognition of this, Wilberforce university conferred the degree of LL. D. on him at the recent commencement exercises. DEPARTMENTS. College, Normal Preparatory, Industrial, Domestic.
