At the opening of the National Association of Colored Women yesterday morning Mrs. Booker T. Washington created a sensation by opposing the proposition to participate in the Colored women's day exercises at the World's fair to-day. Mrs. Washington was vehement in her stand, maintaining that the exposition directors had discriminated against Colored women in the matter of securing employment on the grounds and against the race in general. In support of her position she introduced a resolution to abandon the plan of holding Wednesday's session on the fair grounds. The St. Louis delegates tried hard to stem the tide of opposition, but the resolution was adopted by a large majority. The session of the association was held at St. Paul's M. E. church, Lefflingwell and Lawton avenues. Mrs. M. L. Harrison of St. Louis welcomed the delegates. The president, Mrs. J. Silone Yates, responded. She quoted census reports showing progress made by the Colored race. She declared that in forty years the Colored people had acquired 1,500,000 farms and homes valued at $750,000,000; that their personal property was worth $170,000,000 and church property $40,000,000. In support of Mrs. Washington's stand Mrs. Hallie Q. Brown reported that she had sought employment on The Pike Monday as a test of the report that Colored women were not wanted there, and had been refused. Give Out Official Statement Telling Why They Boycott the Exposition. [Globe-Democrat, July 14.] The National Association of Colored Women, who were to hold their second day's session at the World's Fair grounds yesterday, met instead at St. Paul's A. M. E. church, Lefflingwell and Lawton avenues. This was done in pursuance of a resolution adopted Tuesday abandoning the plans of the local committee of arrangements for Colored women's day at the Fair. In order to prevent any misunderstanding of their position in the matter, the following statement was drafted by a committee, composed of Mrs. S. P. Vashon, Mrs. B. K. Bruce and Mrs. Williams and given out for publication. "It having come to our knowledge that certain of our race have been refused refreshments and other privileges at the World's Fair accorded every other people, simply on the ground of color, the association, in convention assembled, passed a resolution to withdraw the decision to hold a session at the World's Fair grounds July 13, 1904." The programme for the day as announced was carried out with a few exceptions. Mrs. Yates presided, and after the usual devotional exercises gave an hour to hearing reports from the state presidents. A feature of the morning session was the playing of "The Federation Waltz," a piano solo, by the composer, Miss Mae Barrett, of St. Louis. "The Moral Influence of the Study of the Natural Sciences" was the subject of an address by Mrs. S. P. Vashon, of St. Louis, superintendent of the department of mothers' clubs. Mrs. Lucy Thurman, of Michigan, superintendent of the W. C. T. U. work, made a brief report for her department, and Miss Hallie Q. Brown made a report of the work of organizing the department of professional women's clubs, of which she is superintendent. Mrs. Yates announced the receipt of greetings from Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, honorary president of the association, who is in Berlin attending the international council of women, as the representative of the N. A. C. W. Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson, president of the Colorado state federation, made a talk on music, in which she denounced "rag time," "coon songs" and cake walks as disgraceful, vulgar and destructive of good taste and self respect in all Colored people, who indulged in or tolerated them. Mrs. Cornelia Bowen, of Waugh, Ala., gave a talk on social science, and Mrs. Alice D. Carey, of Atlanta, Ga., related a story of her 15 years' experience in prison work. Rev. N. J. McCracken of Chicago, Rev. D. P. Roberts of St. Louis, Prof. W. W. Yates of Kansas City, Capt Charleton H. Tandy, C. H. Brown and others were introduced to the convention and delivered short addresses.

This evening a reception will be given the delegates at Douglass hall by the city federation. MRS. SESSION HELD BY MARY Mrs. Booker T.

LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1904. stated that the World's Fair management had done all in its power to prevent race discriminations on the Fair grounds, and that President Francis had, in several instances, when complaints had been made by Colored people, made a personal investigation, and caused the discriminations to be stopped. She also stated that the reports of discriminations practiced were greatly exaggerated, and assured the delegates that they would be treated in a civil and courteous manner. PRESIDENT FRANCIS WRITES. At the conclusion of her remarks Mrs. Curtis submitted a communication from President Francis, which stated that the World's Fair extended a cordial invitation to all people, without regard to race; and pledged the management to do all within its power to prevent race discriminations.

Kent, of St. Louis, Mo., and Miss Estelle Montgomery, of Mound Bayou, Miss., were married, Tuesday, July 5, at the home of the bride's parents, in Mound Bayou. About two hundred friends witnessed the ceremony, which was performed by Rev. J. H. Branford, after which Nominated for President. He Lands in the Belleville Jail. We are very sorry, indeed, that a few would-be democrats have turned their coats and pop up as Liberty lovers, and they have nominated that old man for president of the United States. It is an insult to the Negro of the state of Illinois and of the United States by placing such an objectionable Negro at the head of such a movement. It is now time for the Negro papers to speak out, and show that Scott is put up for sale. God save us from them. The last the editor of the Palladium heard of Scott, he was in the Belleville jail, serving out $99.80 of a fine and costs, imposed for running a disorderly house. A Noted Negro Democrat. We have always held to the idea that all supposed Negro democrats were of a very small calibre, but our talk with Mr. James A. Ross, of New York, an attorney-at-law, shows him to be above the so-called democrats of the west. We believe that Mr. Ross is sincere, and his convictions has been brought about from a sincere study of his race, and the shortcomings of our republican leaders. On seeing their shortcomings and his surrounding, led him to his political belief. We shall ever remember the hour of conversation with him in company with Capt. C. H. Tandy. We shall ever hold in remembrance Mr. Ross as a first-class democratic gentleman of the state of New York. Mr. George Taylor, of Iowa, is another gentleman whose political opinions have been formed from an honest conviction, and not for political gain. We shall have more to say about Mr. Taylor in the near future. Members of Onward Lodge, No. 174 A. F. & A.

PENSYLVANIA AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. A reporter called to see Mrs. Kent about what disposition would be made of the TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR wedding gift given her by her father. She said that would be left in her husband's care to be invested in city real estate. Capt. Kent is a well-known business man of this city, coming to St. Louis about ten years ago. Is a self-made man, and is conducting one of the finest barber shops in the city, at 11 SMITH'S SPEECH. Speech of Mr. W. L. Smith Before the Convention of the Liberty Party at Douglass Hall. Delivered at Douglass hall, by W. L. Smith, during the session of the Liberty party's convention. Mr. Chairman and Fellow Delegates of the Convention—The Greatest Problem that confronts the American Negro is his condition and its remedy. The Negro's condition is a sorrowful one—poverty, ignorance and superstition. Nearly forty years have forced the Negro to vote for a drink of whisky, one cigar and wind. Simply rocking in the cradle of agitation and the result of which are lethargy and dormant slumber. But now, the Negro has awakened, and while standing before the great mirror of time, he sees himself on the arms of the republican party, and knows that it is not the bosom of Abraham; he sees himself as an American citizen, deprived of many of the rights of citizenship; so to-day he has met in St. Louis in a great convention to council for his race great things, as did that council for the nation which met in Philadelphia to frame the constitution for the United States of America, this great government of ours. He sees 60 per cent of his race in mental darkness and practically without care or cordial sympathy, and the remainder with all of its education, to date, and proved as a whole void of self respect, self-confidence and self-control. The predominant race, so to speak, has organized themselves into 1,000 different orders, and each order into 1,000 different branches, and each branch has 1,000 members, and a friend begging admission to assist in blotting out the Negro's last hope of his financial, social and industrial equality. In the past forty years there have been 275,000 bills introduced in congress, and not a single bill contained a single clause that had been sustained that insures a Negro of his country justice. "THE REMEDY." The Liberty party is the only organization in existence that involves the principles, that will lift the Negro from his present state of poverty, ignorance and superstition, to that of the Mary North Fourteenth street, for the accommodation of Colored people, and is paying taxes on ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS' worth of city property, and is a credit to any community. The newly-wedded couple will reside at 2615 Lucas avenue, until about August 1, when they will move to their new home, 2607 Lawton avenue. The Palladium wishes them a long life and many happy days. purest type of an American citizen; so you see that the purpose for which we have met to-night, is one of an extraordinary occasion, and should involve the deepest interest of every man, woman and child of the race. There are 2,000,000 offices in the United States, which are operated directly under the influence of political issue, and as the Negro race constitutes one-eighth of the population, he is entitled to one-eighth of the political offices, which is 250,000. This would pay into the Negro treasury $1,368,000,000 annually, which would soon enable the race, with industry, to compete proportion with the competitive world, and there employment for the Negro will be found. The Negro race is simply groping along through life, and nearly every door of industry is closed against him. He is forced on the background of racial, where the antithetical germs destroy all hope of a prosperous life; and its destiny is "Death." From the 2,500,000 votes cast in 1900, shows that we hold the balance of power in many a state, district, county, city and precinct, so you see if they will help us, we will still love them. It does not require the eloquence of a Bruce, Douglass or Washington to make us understand this. It does not require the triumph of Cromwell, Caesar of Cicero to inspire us. Think intelligently, and proper action will follow. He that is among you without faith, remember that the Negro is like a photographer's negative, it is not known just what it will be until an application of its chemical process. W. L. SMITH. At First Church. Last Sunday night the First Baptist church was crowded to listen to a talk from Mrs. Booker T. Washington. After the chorus had sung several selections, Mrs. Washington was introduced and for over an hour she gave one of the best and most instructive talks that we have ever listened to from a woman. It was very instructive and logical. Would to Heaven all mothers, young wives, girls could have heard it. Mrs. Washington holds the audience spell-bound. 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 80-CALED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. A later 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.

STRIKERS AND PACKERS MEET The Hitch in the Negotiation is Said to Be Over the Reinstatement of the Strikers By Packing House Officials. Chicago, July 15.—The strike, which has demoralized the packing industry throughout the country, has not yet been settled, but there are indications that it will soon end by the adjustment of the difficulties by arbitration. After a conference, which lasted all of Thursday afternoon, between representatives of the packers and the officials of the union, the employers are waiting for an answer to a counterproposition which they submitted to Michael J. Donnelly, in reply to a statement of the terms upon which he would be willing to make a settlement. Mr. Donnelly stated that the counter proposition of the packers will be rejected, and that he will, in turn, present a counter proposition Friday. The hitch in the negotiations is over the reinstatement of the strikers. The union demands that every man who went out on strike shall be given his old place before an agreement to arbitrate will be considered. The packers declare that they will retain the men that have been employed since the strike, and will take back the old men in the order in which they fire applications for their old positions- While the peace negotiations were in progress, additional preparations were being made by the packers at the yards for a long siege. The packers, hearing that efforts were being made to induce the railroad men, who are members of the union, to refuse to handle supplies for the plants where the men are on strike, were busy all day putting in great stocks of coal, should the railroads attempt to stop their supply. President Donnelly's Proposition. The proposition made by Mr. Michael J. Donnelly for the strikers, which led to the conference, contains the following demands: "That all employees who struck shall be employed in their old positions, within three days; that the packers pay the wages prevailing prior to the strike, pending arbitration; that the arbitration board be composed of one representative of the packers, another of the strikers, the two to select a third; the three arbitrators to be practical packing house men; that the award in wages to be made by the arbitrators shall take effect from the time of resumption in work, but that the award shall not involve any reduction in wages. The representatives of the packers replied to Mr. Donnelly as follows: "In reply to your note and your explanation of what you are willing to arbitrate, we can not accept the same. We are willing to arbitrate the whole matter, covering wages and working conditions of all employees out on strike, you having the privilege of bringing before the arbitrators for decision any question of wages or conditions or any other grievances you may think you have, we to have like privilege, and both to abide by the decision of the arbitrators. We will retain all now at work, and will re-employ all the men now out as fast as possible, giving preference in the order of application at the wages received when going on strike, pending the decision of the arbitrators." The note was signed by Armour & Co., Swift & Co., Nelson Morris & Co., Schwarzschild & Sulzberger, the National Packing Co., Cudahy Packing Co., and Libby, McNeill & Libby. This counter proposition of the packers was submitted to the members of the executive committee of the union, for their consideration. Rioting commenced in the stock yards Thursday night, and one man, Alfonse Andrulis, was shot in the left shoulder by the police. He is not fatally injured. The incidents leading up to the shooting of Andrulis commenced when a party of strikers met a detachment of police under the command of Leut-Moore, on Paulina street, near Forty-fifth street. One of the crowd hurled at the officers, and was at once placed under arrest. The police started toward the station with their prisoner, when his companions attacked them with stones. Several volleys of stones had been thrown, when the police drew their revolvers and fired several shots at the crowd. Andrulis fell with a bullet through his shoulder and his companions fled.

The Party Wants a President Trained in the Ways of the Constitution, Who Shall Set His Face Against Executive Usurpation of Legislative or Judicial Functions. "We, the democratic in the United States, in national convention assembled, declare its devotion to the essential principles of the democratic faith which brings us together in party communion. We, the democratic in the United States, in national unity and prosperity were alike established. They underlaid our independence, the structure of our free republic and democratic citizenship from Louisiana to Texas and to Oregon, which preserved faithfully in all the states the tie between taxation and representation. They yet inspire the masses of our citizens and impress their rights and liberties, and cherishing their fraternity, peace and orderly development. They remind us of our duties and responsibilities to us, particularly the necessity of the rescue of the administration of government from the headstrong, arbitrary and spasmoid methods which disrupted business by uncertainty and pervade the public mind with dread, distrust and perturbation. "The application of these fundamental principles to the living issues of the day requires a sured peace, safety and progress of our nation. Freedom of the press, of conscience, of the law of all citizens, the right of trial by jury; freedom of the person defended by the writ of habeas corpus; liberty of personal contract untrammeled by summary military authority; well-disciplined militia; the separation of church and state; economy in expenditures; low taxes; that labor may be lightly burdened; supreme authority of public and private obligations; flexibility to treaties; peace and friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none; majority, the vital principle of republics—these are doctrines which democracy has established as proverbs of the nation, and they are invoked, preached resorted to and enforced. **Controlling Expenses.** "1. Large reductions can readily be made in the annual expenditures of the government without impairing the efficiency of any branch of the public service; the economy and frugality compatible with vigorous and efficient civil, military and naval administration as a right of the people, too clear to be denied or with- "2. The enforcement of honesty in the public service, and to that end a thorough investigation of the administrative departments of the government already known to teem with corruption, as well as other departments suspected of committing or assisting in the persecution of ascertained corruptionists without fear or favor or regard to persons. The persistent and deliberate refusal of both the executive and legislative branches of the permit such investigation to be made by either branch of congress demonstrates that only by a change in the executive branch of the repressed complete exposure, punishment and correction be obtained. The assurance of that end the federal government should not permit itself to be robbed by entering into contracts with convicted trusts or unlawful persons. The assurance of that end the trade, existing in violation of law. We believe that one-of-the best methods of procuring trusts is to have public officials, from the occupant of the White House down to the lowest of them, return, as much as possible, to Jeffersonian simplicity. Presidential Recommendations. "3. We favor the nomination and election of a president trained in the ways of the constitution, who shall set his face and legislative and judicial functions, whether that usurpation be ruled under the guise of executive construction of existing laws, whether it take refuge in the tyrannical peas of necessity of superior wisdom. "4. The democratic party has been, and continues to be, opponent of that class of tariff legislation by which certain interests have been persecuted, and a draw a heavy tribute from the American people. This monstrous perversion of those equal opportunities, which our political institutions were established to seize, has been infant industries to become the greatest combinations of capital that the most favored enterprises have, through trust methods, been converted into monopolies, thus bringing to an end domestic competition, the only option for the extravagant product possible by the protective system. These industrial combinations, by the financial assistance of the republican party. "We favor a wise, conservative and businesslike revision and a gradual reevaluation of the masses add for the common weal, and not by the friends of its abuses, its extortions and its discriminations, keeping burdens and equality of opportunities; and the constitutional purpose of raising port of the federal government, in all its integrity and virility, but in simplicity; and keeping also in view, as men of com-munity, however wrongly, mistakenly or unjustly brought about, and the danger to unjustly brought about, and the danger to revolutionary reversal of policy. "We should bear in mind, in short, these two things: (1) The general principle that the sole deserter is the support of the federal government, economically, effectively and constitutionally administered; and, (2), that any general principle and in reaching any ultimate end, however sacred, and logically unavoidable, should be paid to actual existing conditions. "We favor the reduction of tariff taxation upon trust-produced articles to the points where foreign competition may enter the market, and we want to combine seeking monopoly, raise their prices to the American consumer above a reasonable and just profit, by such reduction depriving trusts and monopolies of the power to extort from the American public the right to American law, prices higher than those charged foreigners for identical articles." The Isthmian Canal. "Our party having long and earnestly advocated the construction of interoceanic canal for the purpose of national defense and to provide a means with foreign nations, we favor the early completion of the isthmian canal. "But while making this declaration and accepting the results as an accomplished achievement, we express our disapproval of the methods by which, in disregard of the usages and obligations of the canal, we oblige obligations; the canal route has been acquired, or too solemnly record our hope that this precedent of defiant diplomacy may be maintained." "Trusts and Unlawful Combinations. "We recognize that the gigantic trusts and combinations designed to enable capital to secure more than its just share of the joint product of capital and labor, and promoted under republican rule, are a menace to beneficial competition and an obstacle to permanent business prosperity, demand the best of laws already made to prevent and control such trusts and combinations, and we favor such further legal legislation in restraining thereof as experience has shown. "Corporations chartered by authority of the people must forever remain subject to certain conditions, and we require that 'private monopoly is indepenable and intolerable. We recognize the right of capital in all legitimate lines of enterprise to combine for the increase of business, and for decreasing the cost of production, but when such combination in its purpose, or effect, creates, or tends to create a monopoly, it must be restrained strain trade, or to stille competition; to increase cost to the consumer or to control the market, it violates the spirit of free trade, and to fail to care for peace, and should be so regulated, controlled or prohibited by law as to amply protect the public interests. Illegal combinations be intrusted to the democratic party, which is not responsible for their existence, and which has been guilty of opposing public rights. "We condemn the monopolistic system of legislation under which trust monopolies are enabled to exact higher prices for the manufactured products from our people than they sell, them for abroad. "We demand an enlargement of the powers of the Interstate commerce commission, to the end that the traveling and landlords may have prompt and adequate relief for the abuses they are now subjected to in the matter of transportation. Monroe Doctrine. "We favor the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine in its full integrity. "We favor a liberal trade treaty with Canada." Army and Navy. "We favor the reduction of the army and of army expenditures to the point historically demonstrated to be safe and sufficient. We favor the maintenance and liberal annual increase of the navy as our best defense in our isolated continental seas, a foreign foe, and a sources of no possible danger to our liberties as a people. Capital and Labor. "We favor the enactment and administration of laws, giving labor and capital impartially their just rights. Capital and labor ought not to be enemies. Each is necessary to the other. Each has its rights, but the rights of labor are certain; less 'vested', no less 'sacred' and no less 'inable' than the rights of capital. American Citizenship. "We pledge ourselves to insist upon the just and lawful protection of our citizens at home and abroad, and to use all proper measures to secure for them, whether native-born or naturalized, and without prejudice to their rights, the protection of laws and the enjoyment of all rights and privileges open to them under the covenants of our treaties of friendship and commerce, and if, under existing treaties, the rights of American citizens is denied to American citizens, or recognition is withheld from American passports by any countries on the ground of race or creed, we favor the beginning of negotiations with the governments of such countries to secure, and treat the removal of these unjust discriminations. Pensions. "The democracy would secure to the surviving soldiers and sailors and their arbitrary executive order, but by legislation which a grateful people stand revered," our soldiers and sailors who defend with their lives the constitution and the administration. They must therefore share with us the humiliation with which we have witnessed the exalation of court orders over the scarred heroes of many battles; or aggrandized by executive appropriations out of the treasures of a prostrate congress which fixes the compensation and allowances of the military officers. Merchant Marine. "We denounce the ship subsidy bill recently passed by the United States senate as an iniquitous appropriation of federal funds for wasteful, illogical and useless attempt to overcome by subsidy the obstructions raised by republican legislation to the gregory and equipment of American commerce on the sea." We "favor the upbuilding of a merchant marine without new or additional facilities for shipbuilding without bounties from the public treasury." Civil Service. "The democratic party stands committed to the principles of civil service reform, and we demand their honest, just and impartial enforcement. We demand an equal party for its continuous and sinister encroachments upon the spirit and operation of civil service rules, whereby it has arbitrarily dispensed with examinations to office and allowed the manner of devices to overreach and set aside the principles upon which the civil service was established. "Condemnation of Polygamy. "We demand the extermination of polygamy within the jurisdiction of the United States and the complete separation of church and state in political affairs." We congratulate our western citizens upon the passage of the measure known as the Newlands irrigation act for the lands of the west—a measure framed by the lands of the west—a measure framed by a democrat, passed in the senate by a non-partisan vote and passed in the house against the opposition of almost all of the majorities of the majority of which was democratic. We call attention to this great democratic measure, broad and comprehensive as it is, working automatically through congress, until the reclamation of all the lands in the arid west capable of reclamation is accomplished, reserving the lands reclaimed by guarding against land monopoly, as an evidence of the policy of domestic development contemplated by the democratic party should it be placed in power. Imperialism. "We favor the preservation, so far as we can, of an open door for the world's security entanglement in the oriental and European affairs and without arbitrary, unlimited, irresponsible and absolute governmental control. We oppose, as fervently as did George Washington himself, an indefinite, irresponsible, discriminatory vague governmental plotation, no matter where or by whom invoked or exercised; we believe, with whom we have a right to make one set of laws for those 'at home' and another and a different set of laws, absolon colonies. All men under the American flag are entitled to the protection of the institution, and all men under the colonies are inherently unit for those institutions, then they are inherently unit to members of the American body politic, and then they are inherently unit to capable of being governed under American laws, in consonance with the American constitution, the territory of that country ought not to be part of the American domain. "We insist that we ought to do for the Filipinos what we have already done for the Cubans. And it is our intent, as soon as it can be done wisely and safely, for suitable arrangements with them concerning naval stations, coaling stations and trade relations, and upon suitable guarantees of protection to all national and international people, and to people whose their feet, free and independent, to work out their own destiny. "The endeavor of the secretary of war, by pledging the government's indorse- ments to the islands, to make the United States a partner in speculative exploitation of the archipelago, which he considered the opposition of democratic senators in the last session, will, if successful, lead to a permanent entanglement, from which it will be difficult to Statehood for Territories. "We favor statehood for Oklahoma and the Indian territory, statehood for Arizona, statehood for Texas, and government for Porto Rico. Election of Senators by the People.

As a list has been kindly forwarded to me, 1 will endeavor to show each one my appreciation. 1 have also received many hearty con- gratulations and best wishes. During these four years I have been often made to feel that God had turned His back upon me. I had no. financial backing, and that made it rather hard to work mentally and physically. 1 found thése whom I believed 10 be true friends only prove to be the bit terest foes I now believe that all these things were oniy means to bring me to'realize and know that God has 2 work for me to do.’ I now feel more anxious and determined to get about doing my work, which God has showa to me that I MUST do. I know thay Tam to live and work to help elevate and uplift the standard of my.race. All the years that I have been here ! have entered every discussion in which T could have the oppertunity to show the steady and rapid progress of the Negro amid so many obstaces. Although this is a white institution which I have at- tended, yet I feel greaily benefited, as T have found many things which will heip me in my work.

Dead | Our friend and brotiier, last Satur- tay, after a week’s confinement to his room, Rufus Sharp, of 1302 Gay street, passed into the great beyond. Rufus Sharp, io our knowledge, was faithful and true as a friend. He was well liked by all that came in contact with him. He was for four years employed in the city department, and it is believed that he had contracted a lingering com- plaint known as consumption. He leaves a wife, two children, three sis- ters, one brother and one brother-in- law to mourn his Joss. Mr. Sharp took ‘an interest in polities, and it is in this ‘way we became acquainted with him. ‘We have always found him a true and good man. In his death the wife looses @ good busband and the children a dear father. The friends loce an ac- tive energetic worker in all that was for the advancement of his people in general. May the God of Heaven throw around the widow and children the arms of protection. May he rest in peace. 2 bow gli a / gg ai ‘ 4 ae cs A iT Jes 2 a arly ow. / 2x ew cath ve Soon MevaleE el >.

Parker will appear at St. Paul Chapel, corner of Lawton and Leffingwell avenues, Monday evening, July 25, 1904, at 8 o'clock sharp, under the auspices of Dunbar Educational Bureau—R. Cosby, president; W. Woods, secretary; O. P. Goodwin, treasurer; W. T. Burns, manager. The Negro race of Missouri, and in fact of America, has developed a new muse from the humble abode of ex-slave parents in the little town of Rolla, Mo. Miss Inez C. Parker is of unmistakable Negro ancestry, and her rhyme fancies and conceptions have the ring of true genius. Among the first of her poems to attract attention was "Hope," which won the prize offered by the "Scroll," a Chicago magazine. There were over 500 competitors in the contest for the prize. All except Miss Parker were white persons? We give here this beautiful and tender poem, which is both plaintive and cheerful: HOPE. The morn was dreary and gray with mist. By faintest glimmer of gold unkissed, But it looked forth with a vision bright. And whispered low, with a smile of light: "Oh heart, dear heart, be of good cheer. At noon twilight be fairer, never fear!" And whispered low as the wind swept by the wind. At the heart, "twill be baffer, never fear" And wispered low, in a voice divine, "Oh heart, sad heart, be of good cheer, The morn will be a bitter fear!" INEZ C. PARKER Nothing in the dialect style is more touching, picturesque and descriptive of a crude but soul-deep mother's love than another poem of hers which we here print for the admiration of our readers. It is called "Honey Chile" and a mother's love is touchingly depicted. HONEY CHILE Passin' long, you' s probly seed 'im, He 'wantn't very big; But was jes as smart as howdy, An 'afn dater dan a pig; He'd sof brown cheeks wid two big dim- ples In 'em when he'd smile, An' big black eyes dat shined like dol- lars- Dat was Honey Chile. 'Spect you' s seed 'im lots o' times A-setting in de do; Wid 'is playthings all around 'im, Scattered on de flo; He'd toms o' most all sorts an' scriptions. He'd a spout all could Gittin everything I could to 'Muse my Honey Chile. Done got up an 'gone; I didn't know my work was hard in heavier air than light I jesse it light by thinkin' 'Bout my Honey Chile. In de evenin', when de sun was Shinkin' in de wes', I'd come back—oil—Mammmy-bird, Back to de lil' home nes' List am' to dat baby chirp, He said he wart chirp, An' I sing an' be so happy Rockin' Honey Chile. Workin' in de white folks' kitchen, I would plet an' plan How I raise dat boy to be De fines' kind of man. Love 'times about de future I'd smile Thinkin' how I was goin' to range it Fuh my Honey Chile. But a day come when my hopes Dey vanished like de snow; Honey Chile he went to sleep To nevch wake no more Wake my heart was broke. He Jes still and smile— Looked jes like a ill' angel— Oh, my Honey Chile! Yes, I spec dat it was better Fuh de chile to go 'Way from all de tribbyations An' I knows he's safe an' happy All dis lonesome while. But my heart jes won't quit grievin'— Po'll Honey Chile! Jes 'pears like I couldn't stay here, 'Cept I want to save 'Naught to eat a monnent 'Ful dat baby grave; An' I want to have dis on it, Writ in proper style; 'Till we meets beyond de riveh, Good-bye, Honey Chile. JNEZ C. PARKER. Her genius is versatile and scales the entire gamut of wit, humor, pathos and the finer emotions and sentiments. Come out and hear her at St. Paul church, Monday evening, July 25, and you will be amused, charmed and al- most transported by her gentleness, quaintness and fine original poetic powers. Messrs. Burns and Woods, the managers of Miss Parker, paid a complimentary call on Mrs. B. T. Washington at the home of A. D. Langston, and were pleased with her praises of St Louis and the World's fair.

Columbia, Mo., July 12.—The United States department of agriculture, climate and crop bulletin of the weather bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending July 11, 1904, says: Showery conditions prevailed during the past week over the entire state, with heavy rains as a prominent feature in the western and southern portions, overflowing the bottoms, for the third time this season, in the counties bordering along the Missouri and Osage. The weather continued cool also. The temperature was about 6 degrees below the normal in the northwest section, 3 degrees in the central, 4 degrees in the northeast, 3 degrees in the southeast, and 1 degree below the normal in the southwest section. There was scarcely any farm work performed during the week. Harvesting progressed under great difficulties; it is about completed south of the Missouri; where not hindered by rain, entirely. Considerable wheat has been abandoned in the fields in the southwest, central and south counties, due to rust and moisture, and considerable of that now in shock is molding and sprouting; similar complaints come from the northwest section of the state also. The rains have been so continuous that very little threshing has been done, and very little of the wheat is in the stack. The yield, so far, is reported to be very poor. Oats have been harvested under the same difficulties. The prospects for a good yield has deteriorated very much; the rust is taking the crop badly, and a great deal of it is down on the ground, or lodging badly. In many fields the crop is dead ripe, but, owing to the very wet condition of the ground, the reapers can not get into the fields. All reporters take a gloomy view of the prospects. Corn made quite a rapid growth, and where some reports state that it is turning red or yellow, the majority report that the color and growth is good, but the fields are very weedy; very little of the corn crop has been laid by, and this small portion was laid by in the mud. In the southern portion of the state the corn is in tassel and silk, but many fields have not been plowed for three weeks, and will not be plowed now on account of the weeds and size of the corn. In the northeast section the corn is small, but most of the fields are fairly clean. Cotton continues to make fair growth. The week was wet in Dunklin county, however, and the fields are getting foul. There was also some local damage from hail on the 7th near Campbell. Clover cutting and haying in general was much hindered by rains, and considerable hay is rotting in the fields; very few meadows have been cut. Pastures are in excellent condition. Potatoes are yielding a good quality, but few in the hill; fruit and berries continue in fair condition. GEORGE REEDER, Director. Couple Drowned in Swollen Stream Couple Drowned in Swollen Stream While attempting to cross a stream swollen by a heavy rain storm, near La Grange, Miss Ada Lee Hattle, of Canton, and Allen C. Hitch, of Blandinville, Ill., were drowned. The bodies were found about 250 yards down stream, the flood of which had subsided till not more than knee-deep. The body of the girl was held in Hitch's arms, and his face was marked, showing he had made a gallant struggle to escape the raging water. The horse and buggy were 50 yards upstream from the bodies, the buggy demolished, the horse tangled in the harness, but still alive. Frands on the Frisco. The Frisco railroad has a force of secret service men at work along its lines from Joplin through Indian territory and Oklahoma, and is turning up a big case of systematic stealing that is said to have been going on several months, and in which many of its employees have been engaged. Wholesale arrests are expected. Accidentally Killed. Richard Reed accidentally shot and killed Jessie Miller at Black Mountain, in Madison county. Reed picked up a 22-caliber rifle, and in doing so knocked over a shotgun, which, in falling, struck the hammer of the rifle, discharging it. The bullet from the rifle struck Miller in the breast, killing him instantly. Farmer Killed. A fatal fight took place near Sweetwater between two farmers, L. M. Owens and Richard Dickson. Dickson was shot with a gun loaded with buckshot and was killed. The trouble arose over Dickson finding some missing hogs in Owens' barn. The families are prominent in that locality. Lost Both Lecx Lafayette O. Mahoney was crushed by a heavy truck, which had been struck by a Wabash locomotive, at Columbia, and lost both legs. Lafayette County Farms Flooded. The Missouri river has flooded thousands of acres of corn in Lafayette county. Many people have been driven from their homes. Despondent Woman Kills Herself. Despondent because her husband left her, Mrs. N. W. Dantes committed suicide in the Milton hotel, St. Louis, by taking poison. A SUIT FOR DAMAGES. Interesting Sequel of the Joplin Carnival--Miss Maude McGee Asks Court for $10,000. A damage suit has been filed at Joplin for Miss Maude McGee against Joseph R. Weyland and Mrs. Hattie Weyland, his wife, in which the plaintiff asks for $10,000 damages. This suit grows out of an encounter between Mrs. Weyland and Miss McGee just before the Joplin carnival more than a month ago. Miss McGee had been elected queen of the carnival, and had appointed Mrs. Weyland as one of her aids and then revoked the appointment. On the night of May 27 Mrs. Weyland and Miss McGee met in the lodge-room of the Pyramids. The queen-elect was knocked down, kicked and scratched, and it is now alleged she was internally injured. There was talk of a damage suit at the time, but the matter dragged along until the Weylands began making preparations for leaving Joplin. It is rumored that Mr. Weyland has sold his drug store and will depart shortly for California. Old Settlers' Association The board of directors of the state fair has organized a Missouri old settlers' association. Hon. John T. Heard, of Pettis county, has been named as temporary president, and a vice-president has been named for each county in the state. Tuesday, August 16, will be Old Settlers' day, and a large attendance of those who have developed the state and contributed to its greatness is expected. President Heard and Hon. Norman J. Colman will deliver addresses, and a permanent organization will be effected. Carnegie's offer of $50,000 to build a library building at Albany, provided the city would furnish the site and vote the sum of $1,000 annually to maintain the same, was carried by a majority of over 5 to 1 at an election. The mayor and board of aldermen met and appointed the following board of directors to receive said money, build and manage said library, to-wit: Dr. G. W. Doyle, Dr. M. C. Campbell, R. L. Whaley, J. B. Thomas, D. S. Flowers, George C. Holden, J. W. Perry, C. H. S. Goodman and S. W. Clark. Apples and Peaches The cold, wet weather and the late springs seem to have been unfavorable to the apple crop. Many of the apples dropped, and what remain are not developing to quite the degree of perfection usual at this season. The crop for the whole state must necessarily be light. However, unless unfavorable conditions affect it later on, the peach crop will be much larger than expected a short time ago. Where peaches have been set in the spring they have held on well and are developing nicely. Dr. Churchill, Surgeon Major. Dr. E. R. Churchill, of Nevada, has been appointed surgeon-major of the Second regiment, N. M. G., to fill the vancancy caused by the resignation of Maj.- Rodman, of Pierce City. Maj. Churchill has been assistant surgeon of the regiment for the past year, and served as hospital steward during the Spanish war. Senators in a Smash-Up. Senator Ben Tillman, of South Carolina, and Senator Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, narrowly escaped serious injury in St. Louis. An automobile in which they were riding ran into a street car and was demolished. Howard for James Shipman. Gov. Dockery has offered a reward of $200, good for one year, for the arrest and conviction of James Shipman, who is wanted in Dunklin count to answer to a charge of assault, committed June 28 last. Osteopathes Meet. The American Osteopathic association held its eighth annual meeting in the Missouri building at the World's fair. Eight hundred members were present. Osteopathy originated in Kirksville. Killed by a Train: Walter Meyer, 41 years of age, was killed at the Scanian avenue crossing of the Frisco, in St. Louis. He attempted to board a moving train, missed his footing and fell beneath the wheels. St. Louis Storm Swept. A terrific storm passed over St. Louis, doing considerable damage. Thomas O'Toole was struck by lightning and killed, and eleven persons were more or less injured. Boy Loses a Hand. Harry Rubbellke, aged eight, of St. Louis, lost his left hand under the wheels of a street car. Six Inches of Rain. Six inches of rain fell at Shelbyville and vichity. Many bridges and culverts were carried away, and crops were severely damaged. Caught in St. Louis. James Hogue, wanted at Ponca City, Okla., to answer a charge of perjury, was arrested in St. Louis, and held for the territory authorities. Alleged Shoplitter Arrested. Mrs. Mary L. Wright, who said she is the wife of a well-to-do merchant at Clinton, was arrested in St. Louis on a charge of shoplifting. Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed To cure, or money refunded by your merchant, so why not try it? Price 50c. Inventions Worth Millions. Here are a few cases where inventors have been struck by lightning: It is either money or glory for the successful inventor. Never both. Who knows what his name was that invented the can opener? His family only, and yet no household is without a can opener. He made about a million dollars out of it. (Estimated. Maybe he didn't make so much.) Who was it that invented the return ball? While the patent lasted he drew about $50,000 a year from it, and that is as good as being president of these United States—better, for he didn't have to look out for fourth-class postmasterships or worry about a renaming. Why children should want a return ball is a deep, unfathomable mystery, but they do. The rubber string fastened to the ball is forever breaking, and the child doesn't live that can tie it so that it will stay tied, but they will not consent to live without it. The "Dancing Jim Crow" toy paid its unfamous author $75,000 a year before it got to be an old story. "Pharaoh's Serpents" made $00,000 a year during its brief career, and "John Gilpin" netted something like half a million for its deviser. Most people do not even know what these toys are, let alone the inventors' names.—Ainslee's Magazine. A Handy War Instrument The heliograph, so often mentioned in newspapers in connection with British military operations in South Africa, has been termed "the trump card of visual signaling," since it possesses four essential military virtues—portability, rapidity of action, ease of range and secrecy. Through its mechanism, the sun's rays can be reflected upon any desired place by means of a movable mirror attached to a tripod, and messages, in the dot and dash method of telegraphy, readily transmitted. The signals can be read only in the direct line upon which the rays are transmitted, so that its secrecy in operation is perfect. The "helio" is easily portable—weighing, with its accessories, no more than a soldier's rifle.—Youth's Companion. Ancient Mines of Sinai. History furnishes records of the working of the copper mines of Sinai from about 5000 B. C. to 1200 B. C. These possessions brought on several bloody wars. The seeper of Pepi II., of the sixth dynasty, is preserved in the British museum. The entrance, the ruins of the furnace, the crucibles, the huts of the miners, and some fragments of tools still exist. In the debris have been found remains of furnaces and crucibles, slag and cinders.—Philadelphia Press. Destroying Railroads Destroying railroads. A small contingent of Boers has realized the uselessness of merely tearing up a section of railway and throwing the rails into a stream—the usual Boer method of destroying a line. What they now do is to heat the center of a section to a white heat and carry the rail by its two cool ends to the nearest tree or telegraph pole, round which they twist it in such a way that it is absolutely impossible to use it again for railway purposes.—N. Y. Sum. The Savage Bachelor: "There is one thing I would like to know," said the Savage Bachelor. "Is that possible?" asked the Sweet Young Thing, with some acerbity; this occurring at the breakfast hour, when lovely young woman is at her unsweetest. "Yes. I want to know why nearly all these women who have distinguished themselves by a display of brains look so much like men?"—Indianapolis Press. He Is Very Late. "I called to say au revoir, Miss Homewood," said young Mr. Fitzpercy. "I'm going to Florida, doncher know." "Well, good-by, Mr. Fitzpercy, but I'm afraid you are somewhat late." "How so, Miss Homewood?" "The other geese flew south long ago." — Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. Business Acumen The Clerk—By the way, I see the Anti-Superstition league opens its meeting to-morrow. The Boss—Is that so? Mark those $12 overcoats up to $13 in big figures and stick 'em in the window.—Indianapolis Press. Just Like His Father.

He had called on her several times, and finally mustered up courage and assurance to be somewhat more affectionate than the circumstances warranted, perhaps. "You must not do that," she said, somewhat nervously. "Do what?" was the innocent query, "Put your arm around my waist." "Why not?" "My brother might come in suddenly and see you." "Well, what of that? He couldn't kill me!" "No, I suppose not; but he would try to borrow some money from you, and I have lost two chances already by his doing that."—Pearson's Weekly. The Middle Ear This story is told of Prof. Pritchard, who recently opened the sixth international otological congress. Reviewing the progress of the last 30 years, the professor referred to "chonic nonsuppurative disease of the middle ear" as being the supreme mystery at present to students of otology. "What is this middle ear?" a lady asked a sage physician. "Madam," he replied, "it is the ear with which we do not listen." In other words, the nose.—N. E. Home Magazine. A Very Trifling Incident. A clergyman was called upon to perform a marriage ceremony for a couple in middle life. "Have you ever been married before?" asked the clergyman of the bridegroom. "No, sir." "Have you?"—to the bride. "Well, yes, I have," replied the bride, laconically; but it was 20 years ago, and he was killed in an accident when we'd been married only a week, so it really ain't worth mentioning."—San Francisco Wave. Rats as Scavengers. A mining company at Marquette, Mich., has discovered that rats are the best and cheapest underground scavengers. Before the men go to work in its new shaft it wants to have at least the nucleus of a colony of rats in the pit, so that the scraps and fragments of the miners' dinners, which are thrown about underground, may be disposed of.-Indianapolis News. White Rhinoceros. The native commissioner at Sebungwe, Africa, reports that the white rhinoceros is still to be seen on the veldt in the districts between the Sanyati and Zambesi rivers.

SAVED CHILD'S LIFE. Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dodd's Kidney Pills. Sedgwick, Ark., July 11—The case of W. Taylor little man is looked upon by his interested in medical matters or of the most wonderful on record. In this connection his father makes the following statement: "Last September, my little boy had Dropsy; his feet and limbs were swollen to such an extent that he could not walk nor put his shoes on. The treatment that the doctors were giving him seemed to do him no good and two or three people said his days were short, even the doctors two the best in the country told me he would not get better. I stopped their medicine and at once sent for Dodd's Kidney Pills. I gave him three Pills a day, one morning, noon and night for eight days; at the end of the eighth day the swelling was all gone, but to give the medicine justice, I gave him eleven more Pills. I used thirty-five Pills in all and he was entirely in your medicine's child's life. I could your medicine Pills were given him, he could run, dance and sing, whereas before he was an invalid in his mother's arms from morning until night." Way to the Top.
