Fairchild, Armed With a Club, Goes Hunting for a Man With a Gun. When a man goes out looking for trouble, he generally finds it. One Fairchild, of Madison, Ill., a saloonkeeper, armed himself with a club, and went out hunting for Prof. Wilhite. He found him. The Little Professor saw him coming and he shot the bully in the arm. This stopped Fairchild. A gun, you know, has a longer reach than a club. The professor demonstrated this problem to the entire satisfaction of Fairchild. Extra! Extra! Extra! Complimentary.

We have carried the directors of the different churches in St. Louis for six years. We have not charged for them, nor did we expect pay. But when some would-be preacher accidentally gets charge of a church, they want us to change the whole machinery of the Palladium, and if we don't he says that he will quit taking the paper. We say to him, like Richard the Third said about Buckingham, "Off with his head!" Off goes his name, and he will not be bothered about the Palladium any more. When he does take it again it will be when he pays in advance for it, and then agree to attend to his own church and let the Palladium man try to conduct his own affairs. Helping Hand Society.

LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, AUGSUT 20, 1904. THE PHILIPPINE RESERVATION THE PHILIPPINE RESERVATION AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. The Philippine Reservation, covering an area of 47 acres, and consisting of six Philippine villages, 130 buildings, 40 different tribes, 725 native soldiers and 70,000 exhibits, is the most attractive feature of the great World's fair. It holds this honorable position for several reasons, one of which is that it gives the cultured man of today an insight into the ways of man in a more primitive state. The native Filipinos as shown in this wonderful reservation are of especial interest to the American citizen, because his country has but recently become a possession of the American republic. Upon entering the reservation, one imagines himself transported to the Philippine islands. The reservation, with its bamboo houses, its jungle surroundings, and its natives in their peculiar costumes, lend an air of the torrid regions. The bridge of Spain crossing Arrowhead lake is an exact reproduction of the bridge crossing Pasig river at Manila. Upon leaving the bridge, the Fish and Game building comes into view. Within this building are mounted specimens of all birds of the Philippine forests. All kinds of fish, animals and giant mollusks native of the tropic regions are displayed. An observatory, a reproduction of the one at Manila, is shown. The Commerce building contains samples of harnessware, trunks, traveling bags, embroideries, laces, insertions, silk and woolen fabrics made by native women, and numerous other articles characteristic of Filipinos. The Agricultural building has for its chief exhibit hemp, the principal product of the islands. Every step in its manufacture into numerous articles is displayed. Rice and tobacco are also shown. The Forestry building contains a collection of 15,000 species of trees, with over 2,000 different names. The Ethnological building is devoted to the various tribes in the Philippines. In the center of the courtyard is a tree, among the upper branches of which rests a bamboo home of a Moro chief. The Moros are the lowest order of their tribe and live in their tree houses for protection. The lower floor of this building is devoted to the Igorrotes, their various sub-tribes, the Moros, the Bagabos and Negritos. Each tribe has its own native village. The visitors to the fair are indebted to Wm. H. Taft, who formerly held the position of civil governor of the islands, for the attractive Philippine Reservation. It was at his suggestion that a Philippine exhibit was made at the World's fair. It is a World's fair in itself, and needs no additional feature to render it complete. (Continued in our next.) NEW REPUBLICAN CLUB. At the call of Hon. A. Eaton, a republican club was organized by the Colored voters of the Twenty-third ward, on the evening of August 16, at 320 South Compton avenue. The following named officers were chosen: President, H. B. Robinson; vice-president, I. J. Edwards; secretary, K. Wagner Garrett; treasurer, M. Bruno; assistant treasurer, W. M. Wilson. The organization was named the McKinley Republican League club, in honor of Hon. J. C. McKinley, republican nominee for lieutenant governor. Resolutions were passed, deploring the deaths of Wm. McKinley and Marcus A. Hanna, and endorsing the administration of President Roosevelt, the national and state platforms. The club was addressed by C. J. Poulson, W. E. Osborn and A. Eaton, after which it adjourned, subject to call of the president. BRYON'S TROUBADORS. Byron's Troubadours' concert at Offenstein's lastMonday night was an exceptional treat to St. Louisians. The programme began about 9 o'clock and from beginning to end held the audience spell-bound. The young men are masters of music. Each one in himself seems to have been especially gifted. The orchestra's production of the "Bridal Rose" and a selection from "Il Trovatore," was the finest ever heard. The classical numbers of the programme were interspersed with humorous songs, that highly amused the audience. A dance followed the concert. The music was rendered by the Great Western band. The large crowd that attended proved in what great esteem Byron's Troubadours are held. The public sincerely hopes they will favor them with another concert soon.

While returning from abroad on his latest trip—which, he says, he hopes will not by any means be his last—he overheard a heated dispute as to the respective merits of America and England. The disputants were a prominent New Yorker and a well-known British statesman, whose reputation for laconic repartee is international. "My country," shouted the Yankee, "knows no east, no west, no north, no south!" "Aw, indeed? What a blawstedly ignorant country!" drawled the Englishman—St. Louis Republic. POSTPONED.

Moore, through 9 fortunate N circuimsiance, 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. ‘tor 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 eolored race, becauso they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, goft and fine, and as beautifulas 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 he market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are Worthless, Causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the bair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, hich are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good.

Greatest Missourian Since Benton Passed Away at Sweet Springs—End Came Peacefully. After lingering for weeks between life and death, ex-Senator George Graham Vest passed peacefully away at Sweet Springs, Tuesday morning, Aug. 9, at 5 o'clock. At his bedside were Mrs. Vest, his son, Alex; his daughter and son-in-law, Mrs. and Mr. George P. B. Jackson, Mrs. Thompson and a few intimate friends. The remains were taken to St. Louis in the private car of A. E. Allen, vice-president and general manager of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway, where they were laid to rest. The funeral party left Sweet Springs at 8:48 p. m. Wednesday, and arrived in St. Louis early Thursday morning. Fellow Citizens Show Respect. At a meeting of the citizens of Sweet Springs, Tuesday afternoon, Hon. John J. Smith, mayor of the city, was elected chairman and Ed. T. Orear secretary. The following resolutions were presented, read and unanimously adored: RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, We, the citizens of Sweet Springs, have learned with sorrow that Senator George Graham Vest died at his city at five o'clock a morning; and, Whereas, For many years we have had the pleasure and honor of having the senator make his Missouri home among us during the summer months; therefore, be Resolved, That the honesty of Senator Vest, as a citizen and our public servant, has boundless courtesy toward all men, have won our confidence and highest esteem. Resolved, That the death of Senator Vest is to the citizens of Sweet Springs a personal affliction, that in the death of Senator Vest the nation, as well as the commonwealth of Missouri, has lost a great statesman. Resolved, That we recognize his public service and republicas as an evidence of his lofty patriotism and splendid courage in promoting and defending what he always thought to be right and to the best interest of the people whom he represented. Resolved, That we recognize in his peerless public career a character to be emulated by our statesmen of to-day. Resolved, That among the many distinguished Vest will always be linked with those of the greatest, as statesman, patriot and orator. Resolved, That we extend to the wife of our senator and his family our sympathy. Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Mrs. Vest, and also a copy for publication to the Sweet Springs Herald and the metropolitan press. Funeral services were held at the residence, out at the Spring grounds, by Rev. Shakelford, an old friend of the family. After the services the citizens of Sweet Springs in a body followed the remains to the private car that was in waiting to convey the funeral party to St. Louis. The funeral party on arrival in St. Louis, went direct to Bellefontaine cemetery, where the interment took place. In the party were Mrs. George G. Vest, Mr. and Mrs. George P. B. Jackson, Alex. Vest and P. Thompson. Messages of condolence were received from all parts of the United States to Mrs. Vest and family, and the Western Union Telegraph Co. put in extra help to handle the heavy telegraphing. President Francis, in alluding to the death of ex-Senator Vest at a meeting of the board of directors of the World's fair, said in part: "It is with deep regret that I announce to the board the death of that distinguished Missourian, ex-Senator George George Bell, well known to the morning of March, Bell after both houses of congress had been in session all night, introduced in the senate, or called up for action, the bill which had been passed by Automobiles Go Too Fast. A committee of citizens of Des Peres, St. Louis county, headed by Joe Diem, waited on the county court in Clayton and requested that some action be taken to enforce the law against drivers of automobiles who exceed the speed limits on the county roads, especially Manchester road. The committeemen said their position was becoming intolerable. They declared that the speed of a majority of the machines exceeded twenty miles an hour, and that residents along the road were loth to travel in vehicles for fear of accident. The court referred the committeemen to the prosecuting attorney, who in turn told them to see the sheriff. Rain Saves the Corn Crop. The drought has been broken in a large number of Missouri counties, greatly relieving the crop situation and restoring hope to many farmers, who had feared that the corn crop was doomed to be as much of a failure as was the wheat crop. Apple and peach crops are in fair condition. Pastures are generally in excellent shape, and in many counties, where wheat and corn have been partial failures the situation is largely redeemed by the magnificent hay crops and the excellent yield of oats. St. Louis Post Office Receipts. The gross receipts of the St. Louis post office for July show an increased of $48,696, or 20.86 per cent. over the same month last year. St. Louisan a Hero. Frank H. Held, a St. Louis athlete, saved a 12-year-old boy from grooming at Lake Park Springs, where the G. A. R. reunion was held. Quite a Fall. Two balloon passenger fell 500 feet to the ground, at the World's fair, the aerial craft bursting. They fell slowly and were uninjured. the house appropriating $5,000,000 toward the inauguration of the exposition. Within less than seven hours congress.would impose constitutional limitation. If the president taken by Senator Vest had not been taken this exposition would not have been held. It seems to me it would be eminently proper for the board of directors to take a position. I think it would also be appropriate for us to appoint a committee to draft resolutions expressive of our appreciation of his valuable services in our behalf and as a public official." The board decided to attend funeral in a body, and authorized President Francis' to appoint a committee to draft resolutions. As soon as the news of the death of former United States Senator Vest was received Gov. Dockery issued a proclamation and appointed a committee of distinguished citizens from all sections of the state to attend the funeral. The proclamation requested that the flag be placed at half mast on all public buildings during the day set for the funeral, and that all public offices be closed during the funeral ceremonies. The proclamation follows: PROCLAMATION. To the People of Missouri—A great Missourian has just closed a long, useful and brilliant career. He rests from his labors, and he is now a professor of Sweet Springs, in the county of Saline, at five o'clock this morning, and his mortal remains will be laid to rest in the soil of his loved commonwealth, in the city of Louis, at 9 a. m. Thursday, August 11. For 24 years he was a senator of the United States, and during more than half a century one of Missouri's ablest lawyers was a senator of a charming personality, rare gifts of oratory, masterful logic and the genius of statesmanship. Vest never toyed with expediency or faltered in the discharge of his duties, but public public questions, his courage, ability and fidelity have never been surpassed, Brave, brilliant and magnetic, there gathered about his banner as courageous and determined. He was the dearest white plume of Henry of Navarre. Since the admission of Missouri to the Union her sons have borne conspicuous part in all great contests overseas, but among them he was the closest close of his great career in the American senate that, although his body was "worn out," to quote his own expression, he had strength to lead the successful battle for the people. He was a man of great sought to arbitrarily raise the price of one of life's inexorable necessities. In view, therefore, of the foregoing, 1. A. M. DOCKERY, so doherthey request that flags.on all public buildings be placed at half mast during the day set apart for the funeral, and that all public offices be closed during. In the funeral ceremony the testimony wherefore hereto set my hand and cause to be affixed the great seal of the state of Missouri. Done at the city of Jefferson, this 5th day of August, A. M. DOCKERY. By the Govenor; SAM B. COOK, Secretary of State. Obituary George Graham Vest was born at Frankfort, Ky., December 6, 1830. He graduated at Center college in 1849, and from Transylvania's law department in 1853, being a classmate of B. Gratz Brown, later governor of Missouri. Moving to Missouri, Vest practiced law, and his eloquence, pungent wit, scathing sarcasm and effective repartee gave him a widely-known reputation as an orator. He was elected to the legislature, and when the confederate government was formed, he was sent to Richmond to represent that portion of the state which linked its forces with the secessionists. After the war Vest returned to Missouri and began life anew, resuming his neglected law practice. He continued to take an active interest in political affairs, and was elected to the United States senate, where he remained 24 years, being compelled to retire on account of falling health. His record in that body is too well known to require further mention here. Born December 6, 1830, at Frankfort, Ky., George Graham Vest, the "little giant," and the greatest Missouriian since Benton, died at Sweet Springs, Mo., August 9, 1904. 'He Sayed His Money. Quick wit and nimble fingers saved Max Rosenberg, 25 years old, several hundred dollars when he was held up by two men in St. Louis county. The men succeeded in getting $10 in cash, but his pocketbook, containing most of his money, he dropped in the weeds before they got close enough to see him clearly. Rosenberg was walking with a young woman when the two men accosted him. They were several feet away when they commanded him to give up his valuables. Rosenberg's hands were in his pockets at the time, and when he drew them out he pulled his pocketbook out and carelessly cast it over into the weeds growing alongside the path. The men then went through his pockets, taking $10 and a Pearl-handled knife. He Feared the Gallows. Emile Servien, aged 29, who shot and killed Charles Bonetti, a saloon-keeper, on July 24, attempted suicide in the St. Louis jail by blitting into the arteries of his wrist. His attempt was discovered, and Dr. Scherck, of the city dispensary, who was summoned, bandaged the wrist and stopped the flow of blood. Servien said he did not fear death, but did not wish to die on the gallows. Steambont Mate Stabbed. Dennis Breeen, a steamboat mate, was seriously stabbed by John Wilson, a levee character, at St. Louis. Wilson was arrested and lodged in jail. Examination at St. Charles. The civil service commission announces an examination on August 27 at St. Charles, for the position of clerk and carrier in the post office service. An unidentified man was killed by a Cass avenue street car in St. Louis. The body was badly mangled. The crew of the car was exonerated. In the Heart of the Colored Business District.

"The republican party is the ship; all else the sea."—Frederick Douglass. The election of Roosevelt and Fairbanks means continued prosperity for all the people. A vote for Roosevelt is a vote to sustain the principles of human liberty for which he stands. Party principles have not changed. The democratic party is the same today as it was before the war. We are striving to do our work in the spirit with which Lincoln approached his.—President Roosevelt's Letter of Acceptance. The blood of thousands of innocent Afro-Americans is upon Senator Tillman. He has boasted in the United States senate that the democrats of South Carolina have butchered black men for attempting to vote. The Palladium is strictly a Republican paper, and thus for the Negro. Why? Because the Bible says: "Honor your father and mother. Now the Republican party is to the Negro what a mother and father are. Everything that we have came through that party, and to-day all of our protection comes from that party. So we honor the persons that permitted us to enjoy life and liberty. Let the Republican party wage an aggressive campaign from one end of Missouri to the other. We have the most popular candidate for president that ever was—Roosevelt. Fairbanks for vice-president, C. P. Walbridge for governor of Missouri, John C. McKinley for lieutenant-governor. Let the Republicans wage a persistent fight, and victory will surely be theirs. Let the Republicans do their full duty, and we will retain congress and win in Missouri. "BY YOUR FRUITS Ye Shall Be Known; Their Good Deeds Will Be Remembered.) Last Sunday the funeral of Rev. F. McKinney was held at Central Baptist church. Almost four thousand persons were present, who knew this Christian gentleman, and who came to pay their last respects to him, who for the past 30 years had endeavored to win sinners to the right path. [Name] All denominations were there. The Masonic Order, J. Q. Johnson lodge, had charge of the funeral services. About twenty ministers were present, who also took part in the services. Rev. Stevens, pastor of Central, acted as master of ceremonies. The chirr of pathetic song was followed by Rev. D. Johnson who read the Scripture. Rev. W. Muse led the prayer. The obituary was read by Rev. E. C. Cole, after which Rev. S. P. Anderson delivered a very able sermon. He was much affected by the death of his sincere friend. Quite a number of the ministers spoke in the highest terms of the deceased. Rev. Stevens, after hearing the testimonials of so many good men, paid the highest compliments to his memory RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT WHEREAS, It has pleased God, in His wise providence, to call from labor to reward our much-beloved and highly-esteemed pastor, the Rev. Frederick McKinney; and, WHEREAS, During the past twelve years as pastor of this, the Antioch Baptist church, he has labored so faithfully with us, in word and doctrine, and striven to the utmost of his knowledge and ability to advance the welfare of this church; and, WHEREAS, His life in our midst has been that of a true shepherd, lending aid and assistance to those needy and in distress, caring for the sick, and lifting up those who, burdened with cares, trials and tribulations of this life, had fallen by the wayide; and last, but not least, he preached the unadulterated word of God, in its purity, and found in the service of the Lord and the upbuilding of the cause of Christ, his chief delight; and, WHEREAS. Through his untiring efforts this church has been raised from an insolvent and perishing condition to one of power and affluence in the community in which it is located, and to-day stands second to none; and, WHEREAS, We believe from his daily walks, his upright, Christian life, and his Godly conversation, that our great loss is his eternal and everlasting gain, and that he has simply fallen asleep in Jesus—that sleep from which none ever wakes to weep, but finds rest and peace in that Celestial City, that haven of rest, prepared for the people of God; and, WHEREAS, We believe, from the strong ties of friendship manifested by the high regard and esteem in which he was held by all who knew him, both saints and sinners, that the community has lost a true friend and an unright citizen; and, WHREAS, We believe, from the fatherly love and care which he bestowed upon all those who were connected to him by family ties, and the earnestness and zeal put forth daily in his effort to provide for their necessities, that in his death his children have lost a kind and indulgent parent, it is but meet and proper at this, the most solemn hour in the history of our church, that we, its officers and members, should lift our voices as with one tongue in extolling the merits of our beloved pastor, whom we have learned to love so well, one who consecrated his life to the cause of Christ, one whose whole heart and mind were devoted to the uplifting of humanity, one whose efforts and devotion have made the Antioch Baptist church what it is today. Therefore, be it RESOLVED. By the officers and members of this, the Antioch Baptist church, for whose success and in whose behalf he labored so earnestly, and with so much zeal, that in his death the church has lost a true pastor, a shepherd in deed and in truth—one who dared to keep the commandments of God ever in view; one who dared to preach the true and unadulterated word of God, though opposed on every side; one who dared to rebuke sin in high places, and stand up for the true principles of Christianity; one who gave his time, his talent and his means to advance the cause of Christ. Be it further RESOLVED. That in the death of our beloved pastor his companions and associates have lost a true friend, the community in which he lived has lost a good and upright citizen, and his children have lost a kind and indulgent parent; and, be it further RESOLVED, That these resolutions be spread on the face of the minutes of this church, and that a copy be sent to the bereaved family of the deceased. Done by the Antioch Baptist Church, this, the 11th day of August, 1904. REV. LOUIS LANE, Moderator [Attest.] JOS. A. SMITH, Church Clerk. FUNERAL OF COLORED MINISTER. The funeral of the late Rev. Frederick McKinney, pastor of Antioch Baptist church, Colored, took place yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock from Central Baptist church, Twenty-third and Morgan streets. About 3,000 people, only about half of whom were able to gain admission to the church, assembled to witness the funeral rites, which were conducted by J. Q. Johnson lodge, A. F. and A. M., of which the deceased was an officer. The members of the United Order of True Reformers, under command of Chief Floyd Ross, were present in full force, and the Antioch and Kirkwood Baptist churches and the Samaritan Relief and Missionary Societies of Central Baptist church were largely represented. Rev. S. P. Anderson preached the funeral sermon, and remarks of a eulogistic character were made by the present pastor, Rev. G. E. Stevens, and several others. The pastors of sixteen churches occupied seats on the pulpit. —Globe-Democrat. August 15, 1904. THE LAST RALLY GIVEN BY THE LATE REV MKINNEY THE LAKE, MNNET. The pastor, officers and members of the Antioch Baptist church adopt this means by which to tender thanks to their many friends and patrons for the valuable assistance rendered them in their rally, Sunday, July 31. The rally was quite a success, the church realizing therefrom the sum of $353.49, of which $50 was raised by penny collections during the day, and the balance, $303.49, was turned in by different clubs. At the morning service the pulpit was occupied by the pastor, Rev. Fred McKinney. The penny collection raised at this service amounted to $20.35. At the afternoon service the pulpit was occupied by Rev. Williams, pastor of the St. James A. M. E. church, who had come over with his congregation to assist in the rally. The penny collection at this service amounted to $10.90. The pastor and congregation of the St. James A. M. E. church, as members of Club No. 14, contributed an additional sum of $25.30. At 8 o'clock the pulpit was occupied by Rev. Bain, of West Virginia; penny collection raised amounted to $18.75. Total penny collection during the day, $50. At the evening service the table reported as follows: No. 3)..... 28 55 12. Alex. Terry..... 28 55 13. Houston Floyd (no returns)..... 56 00 14. Fred. McKinney..... 16 00 15. Tillie Brooks..... 16 00 Total raised by the clubs.....$303 49 Grand total raised during day.....$353 49 Grand total raised during day...$353 49 Much credit is due Club No. 15, which was composed of young misses ranging in age from 14 to 18 years, who volunteered their services, and were granted permission to organize themselfs into a club and assist in the rally. All of their entertainments and other affairs were managed by them selves, without the aid or assistance of any older or more experienced persons; hence the showing made by them is worthy of special mention. Y M C A. NOTES. Mr. Isaac T. Montgomery, of Mound Bayou, Miss, gave the young men an able, practical talk last Sunday afternoon. Rev. R. A. Broyles, of Chicago, also made a stirring address. Sunday afternoon, August 21, the association will hold its meeting at St. Paul's chapel, at 3:30. Prince Oskazuma, an African traveler, will address the meeting. Ladies will be admitted. Young men who fail to attend the literary society are missing some fine talks from able men from among the World's fair visitors.

The World's Greatest Historical Ethnological and Educational Exhibition "On the Pike." The Indians pray for rain in their mystic ceremonials among the Cliff Dwellers at the World's fair. The less civilized people, the more material, are their wants, which they implore their deities to supply. Rain, rain, rain on the parched fields. Mokiland, in the far-off, painted desert of the Colorado, in Arizona, is, at this time of the year, the supplication that is wafted heavenwards by the Moki and Zuni priests, descendants of the ancient but now totally extinct Cliff Dwellers. Those that visit the World's fair be sure and visit these wonderful Cliff Dwellers on the Plike and see the snake dance. We will have more in next week. Watch the Palladium. IT'S UP TO VARDAMAN. The governor of Mississippi has a disgusting habit of making himself obnoxious to the general public whenever the occasion permits. His amity to an oppressed race is notorious, and if he has a soul, it is certainly controlled by the devil. And now it is charged that this alleged example of gallantry and honor is a common slanderer of women. The charge is made by no other than Postmaster General Payne, and on that account he has refused to name a post office in his honor. Gov. Vardaman is a typical southern fireater. Already the strong odor from the Jackson capitol has permeated the rest of the country. Now, however, in view of Mr. Payne's charges, the odor has become a vile stink. If Gov. Vardaman is innocent and an honorable man, let him disprove the charges. If he does not, respectable people will be justified in regarding him as a blackguard. Gubernatorial tyrants have not been so rare in this country that Gov. Vardaman is in a class by himself on that score, but unless he clears himself of the foul charge made against his character, he must expect the contempt of all who admire decency. Gubernatorial blackguards can not and will not be tolerated by the American people. Good Advice. If you are troubled with kinky or curly hair, use Ozonized Ox Marrow.

Akoun's Mysterious Asia and Empire of India, the Pike's Greatest Educational and Amusement Feature, World's Fair, St. Louis, Mo. While the various concessionaries at previous Expositions have endeavored to reproduce, as a midway attraction, the wonderful mysteries of the Oriental Eastern countries, it has remained for that typical ethnological artist, Mr. Gaston Akoun, to bring before the visitors at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition an aggregation of the magnificent splendors of oriental life in the East, which for brilliancy, magnitude and active natural portrayal by means of real life exhibits has, undoubtedly, eclipsed anything in this line ever before attempted. Mr. Akoun, who is a Parisian by birth, has the advantage of former experiences at no less than twelve previous expositions, where his marvelous successes were continuously repeated, and as a successful caterer to an amusement-loving public his fame spread far and wide. The general plan embraces a most interesting representation of Asiatic countries, including faithful reproductions of the most historic and educational buildings of India, the Mahal Temple of Agra, the Rain Sipri of Almiadabad, street reproductions from historical Delhi, Calcutta, with its picturesque bungalows, and decorated buildings, grill workers, with their actual material, such as mosaic and ceramic panels, carved in inlaid wood, Bazaars teeming with commercial activity, with native vendors in the picturesque costume of their native country, form a part of the attractions. Ceylon, with its attractive tea houses and klosks, inside of which the visitors witness the process of drying and rolling tea, which is served by native Singalese in purely oriental fashion; Burmah, the land of white elephants, its idolatrous inhabitants, and the Golden Temple of Rangoon; Burmese musicians playing upon their peculiar native instruments, and Burmese dancing girls doing their fantastical and religious dances. A point of interest is Persia, the mysterious country of Asia, with its rug market, architectural buildings, caravans, sedan chairs, dromedaries, etc. In the bazaars are seen types of Persian traders showing the art of weaving rugs. There are brass chiselers, candy makers, fortune tellers and fakers displaying and selling their waters, consisting of silks-draperies, laces, ornaments, embroideries, jewelry and other articles seen in course of manufacture by natives. In connection with this special amusement feature is a beautiful and conspicuous building erected in the original Oriental style of architecture, known as the Oriental Theater, where performers from the Oriental countries appear in numerous and amusing features. Nautch, Jar, Castanete and all characteristic national dances are given in oriental style of their respective countries. Grand parades representing the Rajah and the gorgeous Durban festival take place hourly. On a gorgeously-caparisoned elephant, driven by Hindoos, holding heavy silver spears and attended by native musicians beating tom toms and playing upon flutes and other native instruments, the Rajah is seated in a golden-embroidered hoodah. Elephants carry klosks loaded with passengers. These are followed by a multitude of singing and shouting natives, riding in every description of conveyance typical of their native countries. The entire production cost over $200,000. For the past two years Mr. Akoun has had abroad special representatives in search of new attractions, and at considerable risk and expense, obtained the consent of the various tribal kings and rulers to allow their subjects to leave their native country. In the entire reproduction there are upwards of 750 people, including men, women and children. Continuous performances given daily from 10 a. m. to 11 p. m. The Afro-American Through the Camera. The Afro-American, of St. Louis, published by Sexton & Maxwell, photographers of our city, is one of the most attractive displays of Negro enterprises ever placed before the public. Photographic views of all Colored churches, with their pastors, schools, with principals, business places and residences of our best citizens are given. It is a souvenir of unbounded interest to strangers who visit our city, as well as to home residents. Copies of it may be secured from Sexton & Maxwell's photographic gallery, at 1407 Market, and also at the People's drug store, 2601 Morgan. The book is one each and every Negro will highly appreciate. It costs only 35 cents, and everyone should have a copy. This beautiful palm garden has now opened its doors to the public. The same is one of the most cosy gardens in the city. String band and nightly new attractions. If you wish to have a night of real pleasure, go to this most beautiful place of amusement, that you may enjoy life while there is still life in you, at 2106 Walnut street. EDITORIAL. Theodore Roosevelt will be our next president. Every Negro in St. Louis ought to read The Palladium. We must win with Walbridge and McKinley the entire republican ticket. When you cast your vote, let it be for the party that gave you a ballot. Let the republicans get together in Missouri, for the victory is ours if managed right. Remember what the Democratic legislature tried to do in Missouri at the last session. All the rights and benefits the Negro now enjoy come through the Republican party. Every law that has been enacted against Negro manhood was by the Democratic party. In every state where the Negro has been disfranchised it was done by a Democratic legislature. Roosevelt will not close the door of hope and prosperity against the Negro. Why? Because he is a Republican. The election of C. P. Walbridge and McKinley mean the redemption of Missouri and good times for all the people in Missouri. The election of Parker can bring no possible good to the Afro-American. Better let well enough alone and vote for Roosevelt. More Negroes were employed under the Walbridge administration than at any other time. Why? Because he was a Republican. It has been demonstrated that a snail travels but 200 yards in 50 years. The snail is clearly the Democrat of the animal kingdom. We admit that there are bad Republicans in the party, but the principle of the Republicans are not affected by these vultures. However good an individual democrat is, when he is elected he can not do anything for the Negro. Why? Because his party rules him. Forty-four years ago three million and a half of Negroes were slaves. Today they are free. Who did it? Of course the Republican party. The Afro-American has everything to gain by the triumph of the republican party—the party which stands for freedom and human rights. One of the embarrassing features of the campaign is that every time a democratic leader shoots off his mouth he perforates some other Democrat. There are more than 15,000 Afro-American private soldiers in the Spanish-American war. They served under Afro-American officers commissioned by a republican president. William McKinley. New Parlor. In addition to Sexton's Summer Garden, Mr. Sexton opened what is called an ice cream parlor in front, neatly furnished with all necessary fixtures, and is now prepared to serve you with ice cream, soda, punch and water melons.

GUARDS WERE OVERPOWERED And the Guilty Wretches, After Being Thoroughly Saturated With Oil. Statesboro, Ga., Aug. 17.—With clothing saturated with kerosene, writhing and twisting in their agony, screaming to Heaven for the mercy that the mob would not show, Paul Reed and Will Cato, negroes, two of the principals in the murder and burning of Henry Hodges and wife and three of their children, six miles from Statesboro, three weeks ago, were burned at the stake Tuesday. Tuesday afternoon at 1:21 o'clock a determined mob charged on the court house, overpowered the military guard, secured Cato and Reed, who had been found guilty after a legal trial and sentenced to be hanged, took them two miles from Statesboro and there burned them alive. The climax came quickly and unexpectedly. The forenoon had passed quietly, the trial of Paul Reed, the ringleader in the murder, being concluded and a verdict of guilty rendered. Both he and Will Cato, found guilty the day before, were sentenced to hang September 6. The crowd assembled about the court house was not as large as Monday, nor was it so threatening, though for that matter there was never much parade, the countrymen always being quiet. In the trial of Reed little delay had been caused, and on its conclusion the prisoners, as before, were hustled into the witness room, where a strong guard of military was mounted over them. In the corridors the agitation began. The spectators left the court room, and from the lawn outside many entered the hallways. Shortly before one o'clock the crowd was addressed by a tall man, who seemed to inflame it greatly. He called on those about him to follow him. Then Capt. Hitch, of the Oglethorpe light infantry, who was in command of the forces, realized that the situation was desperate. He posted guards on each of the stairways that led to the floor above, where the prisoners were confined. With fixed bayonets, but unloaded rifles, the guard stood. The mob surged toward them, but were repulsed several times. The determined effort was yet to be made. At the rear stairway the gravest danger threatened. Prominent men, among them Rev. Mr. Hodges, brother of the murdered man, sprang to the front to address the crowd. They begged them to disperse. Sheriff Kendrick was among these. He cautioned the crowd against violence, and pleaded with them to leave, declaring that five more men were equally guilty with Cato and Reed, but that only by information to be secured from the condemned men could the others be convicted. The crowd demanded that he promise not to take the negroes back to Savannah. This he declined to do. Suddenly some twenty-five men crowded around the guards. Before they could be prevented they had caught two of the guards, wrested their weapons from them and thrown open the breach blacks. The weapons were empty. That was what the crowd wanted to ascertain. The troops had been given orders not to load their rifles. The captured soldiers were held prisoners. The same policy was followed with others. Man after man caught isolated was relieved of his rifa after a struggle. At the front a member of the mob crept along the wall until he got close to the guards. He threw himself upon them. In the breach thus formed his companions threw themselves. Two hundred wildly-cheering men followed him, and soon the soldiers, though they fought desperately and inflicted bayonet wounds upon some of their assailants, were overpowered. The small guard about the prisoners withdrew into the room and closed the door. The mob crashed against it, bursting it as though it were an egg shell. The prisoners were at their mercy, all resistance having been beaten down. Cato, Reed, Handy Bell and the other prisoners cowered before the crowd. They dragged Cato and Reed out. Reed was taken down one stairway with a rope about his neck, and a rope about the other, pleading for their lives. Three Men Drowned. New London, Mo., Aug. 17.—John Rice, Elmer Ryan and Ben Schultz were drowned in Salt river, this county, while seining near the Joe Berry Ford Monday. They took cramps, and sank in sight of their friends on the bank. Cleveland, O., Aug. 17.—An amalgamation of the members of the International Association of Machinists and International Association of Allied Metal Mechanics was arranged Tuesday. By this time the crowd numbered 6,000 persons. The doomed men were dragged, the crowd shouting and cheering along the roadway leading to the Hodges homestead, where five members of the family had been murdered and burned. That was their destination. The heat was so intense that the crowd weared when two miles of the six mile route had been traversed. Going 75 yards from the road the crowd halted. The two negroes were told they had but a short time to live, and that they should confess. Negroes Confess the Crime. Reed confessed, implicating other negroes, as he had in the court room. He denied, however, that he had taken an active part in the murder. Cato answered incoherently. The crowd moved across a field to a strip of woodland. A member of the mob made a speech, recounting the horrors of the crime. This inflamed the crowd to the burning point. To a large stump 12 feet high the men were chained with their backs to the stump. Then a wagon load of pine wood was hauled to the spot. It was piled around the men, and ten gallons of kerosene oil was thrown over them. A photographer was present, and the crowd was cleared back, that he might get severer views of the men bound to the stake and ready for the burning. Just as the match was applied to the pyre, one of those in front asked Reed if he wanted to tell the truth before he died. "Yes, sir, I killed Mr. and Mrs. Holges" he replied. "Who killed the children?" he was asked. "Handy Bell," came the response as the flame leaped upwards, and further questioning was impossible in the wild tumult. Spectacle Was Frightful. The spectacle was frightful. As the flames touched Reed's naked oil-soaked skin, he twisted his head around in an endeavor to choke himself and avoid the fearful torture. Only once did he complain. He said: "Lord have mercy." Cato screamed in agony, and begged that he be shot. His heavy suit of hair which was oil-soaked was almost the first thing the flames fastened on, while the hemp rope became a collar of fire around his neck. For only about three minutes was he visible to the crowd before the great pile of fagots made a wall flame which the wind wiped around on Cato's body and hid him from view. Before the flames progressed very far up his body his head sank forward. Apparently the fire got into his lungs and killed him. As soon as it was seen that the men were dead, the crowd commenced dispersing. A large number remained behind, however, piling more fuel on until both bodies were burned except the trunks. CLOUDBURST IN ARIZONA Flood of Water Came Down the Canyons, Carrying Everything Before It. Kingman, Ariz., Aug. 17.—Reports by telephone from Layne Springs, 14 miles north of here, says that between five and six o'clock Monday evening a cloudburst fell on Summit Cernbat mountains, sending a flood of water 15 feet deep down through the canyons, carrying everything before it. At Nighthawk mine a house was carried away and two men drowned. George M. Bowers, a well-known mining man, escaped from the building, but was imprisoned in the tunnel of the mine, and dug out Tuesday morning by fellow miners. The body of Ole Inglebrethen was found two miles down the canyon, imbedded in mud and debris. The body of John Connors, another victim, has not yet been recovered. At the Alpha mine, 100 yards to the north of the Nighthawk, ore dumps were carried away, and huge boulders piled up in the portals of the tunnel. At Stockton hill and all along the range, shafts are filled with water and debris, and much damage has been done. ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETED Candidate Davis is Now Ready to Be Formally Notified of His Nomination. White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., Aug. 17.—Arrangements are practically completed for the notification ceremonies to take place here Wednesday afternoon, when Henry G. Davis will be formally tendered, and will accept the nomination of the democratic party for the vice-presidency of the United States. Mr. Davis reached White Sulphur Springs Monday night. Representative John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, chairman of the notification committee, arrived Tuesday. Many democrats of prominence are here, and several special trains are scheduled to reach here Tuesday night and Wednesday. The notification ceremony is to constitute the opening of the democratic state campaign in West Virginia. To Celebrate Georgia Day. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 17.—Gov. Terrell, accompiled by Mrs. Terrell and commissioner of Agriculture Stevens, left Tuesday for St. Louis, where the governor will make arrangements for the celebration of Georgia day at the exposition in September. Shaw to Speak at Helena. Chicago, Aug. 17.—Former Senator Carter, of Montana, called at republican headquarters Tuesday, and arranged for the appearance of Secretary Shaw at Helena in that state, bn the 23d or 24th instant. From New York City Hall to Harlem in Fifteen Minutes. Successful Test of the New Underground Transit System in New York City Made. New York, Aug. 19.—For the purpose of establishing a test, power has been turned on in the rapid transit subway and electric trains were run over the line from downtown stations to Harlem. The long-predicted trip from the city hall to Halem in 15 minutes was accomplished. Most of the trains crept slowly past the stations, but were speeded beyond One Hundred and Sixteenth street. The climax of the test was made by a picked crew with four cars run at a high speed over the entire route. Some of the turns were made at a dizzy gait, precautions having been taken to have the track clear for the one great effort of the night. The experiment was a complete success, and Harlem was reached well within the time allowance of 15 minutes. To those on the train the stations appeared and melted away as in a picture. So quietly did the cars move at highest speed that only the watchmen heard their passage. The greatest secrecy was maintained by the officials of the road. Men at the stations were instructed to allow no one without a special permit to get below the level of the street. One of the objects of the experiment was to familiarize the men at controllers with the twists and turns of the road. There are many signals to learn, and the motormen were confronted with problems conceived by the superintendent to fool them and teach them to avoid collisions. MRS. MARY E. FULLER DEAD The Wife of the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court Dead at Sorrento, Me. Sorrento, Me., Aug. 19.—Mrs. Mary E. Fuller, wife of Chief Justice Fuller, of the United States supreme court, died suddenly here Wednesday. Mrs. Fuller was the daughter of Wm. F. and Jane Brown Coolbaugh, and was born in Burlington, Ia., August 19, 1845. She is survived by her husband, seven daughters and one son. The death of Mrs. Fuller occurred while she was sitting on the plaza of her summer cottage, "Mainestay," at Sorrento. Death was caused by heart disease. A funeral service was held Thursday afternoon at the Sorrento chapel. Rt. Rev. A. McKay-Smith, bishop coadjutor of the Episcopal diocese of Pennsylvania, formerly of Washington, D. C. officiated. The body will be intered at Chicago. TO ASSIST THE MAN BEHIND. All of the Guns In the Navy to Be Fitted With Latest Up-to-Date Sighting Appliances. Washington, Aug. 19.—In the bureau of ordance plans are being drawn for the resighting of all the guns in the navy. The rapid-fire gun will be fitted with a new telescopic sight, which will permit of continuous aim. The cost for this work will be large, but its immediate execution is declared to be necessary. Tests are soon to be conducted with a new range-finder, and the ships of the battleship squadron are to be fitted with range finders of a design which was recently tested and found satisfactory. Tests have also been ordered of a new type of shell known as "tracers," which are used for night firing and which are illuminated so that they trace the course of the projectile and enable the gun pointers to note the effect of the firing. MISSOURI WEEK AT THE FAIR Reports Received Would Seem to Indicate a Record-Breaking Attendance. St. Louis, Aug. 19.—Reports from the mayors and prominent officials and business men from cities in all parts of the state, and also from the special representatives sent out by the Exposition company, indicate a record-breaking attendance at the World's fair next week, which has been set aside as Missouri city week. Invitations were sent to all towns in the state having a population of 1,000 and over to participate. Danish Torpedo Boat Sunk.

N., commander of the battleship Maine, has German blood in his veins and vast knowledge of detail about naval ordnance in his head. Before he was given the Maine and last went to sea he was superintendent of the gun factory at the Washington navy yard, and gained the reputation of being a strict taskmaster. Habitually an "early to bed early to rise" man, Capt. Leutze found himself unable to sleep one night. He arose, dressed, left his quarters-and walked down to one of the gun shops. Although three shifts are needed to dispose of the great press of work now on hand, there was little doing. Capt. Leutze's sharp eye detected a mechanic sitting on the carriage of a great lathe, which was slowly running to an fro, taking almost infinitesimal threads of steel from a 12-inch gun. He was dozing, oblivious to all surroundings, when Capt. Leutze reached his side and aroused him with: "Well, what are you doing, and what's your name?" The craftsman looked up and quailed. Then, with a resigned air, he replied: "Well, I guess it's Dennis." He was not discharged.—St. Louis Republic. A Doctor's Simple Cure. Somewhere upon British soil there is a young doctor who has within the last few days learned a lesson which should be invaluable to him in his future practice. Having accompanied his betrothed to a theater, while the house was in semi-darkness she suddenly complained of feeling faint. The doctor took something out of his pocket and whispered to her to keep the "tabloid" in her mouth, but not to swallow it. She did as she was told and soon felt all right again. The tablet, however, showed no signs of dissolving, and in the end, being curious to discover what the tasteless, indissoluble substance that had proved so efficacious could be, she slipped the undiminished substance into her glove for future inspection. When she got home she took it out of her glove again and examined it. It was a bone glove button—London Leader. Crushing Retort. The young man had pleaded eloquently. But the sweet young thing had been obdurate. Again and again he entreated her to give him some room for hope. But she would not. At last, as his final plea, he said: "You do not love me now, you say you will never marry. You will not always be young; though, to my eyes, you will always be beautiful. What of the future?" "As to that," she replied, "I can not say. For I can state with perfect truthfulness, looking you straight in the eyes, that I have absolutely nothing in view." Gathering from this remark her estimate of him, he arose, and, after carefully brushing his knees, left the house.—Baltimore American. His Fear. "Judge," pleaded the convicted man, "do what you like with me, but don't send my wife to prison, too. Let 'er go free." "Impossible," replied the . judge, sternly. "You go to the penitentiary and she to the house of correction." "Oh! that's all right. I was afraid you was goin' to put us in the same cell."—Catholic Standard and Times. JUST ONE DAY Free from the Slugger Brought Out a Fact. "During the time I was a coffee drinker," says an Iowa woman, "I was nervous, had spells with my heart, smothering spells, headache, stomach trouble, liver and kidney trouble. I did not know for years what made me have those spells. I would frequently sink away as though my last hour had come. "For 27 years I suffered thus and used bottles of medicines enough to set up a drug store—capsules and pills and everything I heard of. Spent lots of money but I was sick nearly all the time. Sometimes I was so nervous I could not hold a plate in my hands; and other times I thought I would surely die sitting at the table. "This went on until about two years ago when one day I did not use any coffee and I noticed I was not so nervous and told my husband about it. He had been telling me that it might be the coffee but I said: 'No, I have been drinking coffee all my life and it cannot be.' But after this I thought I would try and do without it and drink hot water. I did this for several days but got tired of the hot water and went to drinking coffee and as soon as I began coffee again I was nervous again. This proved that it was the coffee that caused my troubles. THE SUNDAY BIBLE SCHOOL Lesson in the International Series for August 21, 1904—"Elijah on Mount Carmel." (Prepared by the "Highway and Byway" Presser.) (Copyright, 1904, by J. M. Edson.) LESSON TEXT. 1 (Kings 18:30-46; Memory Verses, 26-29). And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down. And Elijah took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the Lord came, saying, Israel shall be thy name: 32. And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord; and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain the vessels of order. 33. And he put the trench on order, and cut the bullock to pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood. 34. And he said, Do it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time. And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water. 28. And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that Thou art God in Israel, and that I am Thy servant, and that I have done all these things at Thy way. 29. Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that Thou art the Lord God, and that Thou hast turned their heart back again. 30. And the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 31. And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, The Lord, He is the God; the Lord, He is the God. 32. And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and saw them fall. 33. And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get the up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. 42. So Ahab went up to ear and to drink 43. Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees. 43. And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said. There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. 44. And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there arisen a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hnd. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop, and that to pass in the meanwhile, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel. 45. And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he girded his his arms, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

Faith That Could Wait.—As we contemplate Elijah's glorious triumph on Mount Carmel, let us not forget the long three and one-half years of patient waiting. The test of success in God's work generally comes at this point. David emphasizes it in Ps. 27:13-14, and Paul says: "Having done all, stand." Elijah waited and his waiting brought its glorious triumph. Heb. 10:36, Gal. 6:9. Rev. 2:10. The longest night has its end. Noah waited 100 years for the flood. Abraham waited a lifetime for the son of promise. Israel waited 400 years for deliverance. David waited many perilous years for the kingdom. Faith That Knew No Fear.—Elijah had fled to the brook and Zarephath to escape the foes of God, now he faces them. True faith sometimes runs from evil and evil's forces. And faith made Elijah bold to command a king to gather representatives from all over the nation, and to challenge the 850 false prophets to decisive test. True faith never fears in the face of God's foes. Matt. 10:26; Ps. 27:1-3; 56:4; 118:6. Faith That Dared the Test.—Elijah on Mount Carmel with God was mightier than all of Baal's prophets, and the king of Israel behind them. But remember that Elijah was acting for God; at God's direction, see verse 36, and for God's honor and glory and the salvation of Israel. When God plans the test it is always safe to risk everything upon it "One with God is a majority." How rich God's word is in examples of the truth of this. Faith to Execute God's Judgments.—The law of the Mosaic dispensation required that false prophets be slain. Deut. 13:15; 18:20; Zech. 13:2, 3. To fail to observe and execute all of God's word is disastrous. See examples in 1 Sam. 15:2, 3, 9; 23; 2 Kings 13:14-19. Paul as God's faithful apostle, performed a painful duty. 1 Cor. 5:1-5; 1 Tim. 1:20. God has given us the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, with which to fight against the false prophets and the evil. Let us be bold and fearless in the welding of that weapon. Heb. 4:12. Faith That Brought the Blessing.—Faith that could wait; faith that knew no fear; faith that dared the test; faith that executed God's judgments, was the kind of faith which could bring the blessing. "Sound of abundance of rain." Elijah's ear was quickened to hear the sound before there was a cloud in sight. There is always sound of abundance of rain where faith performs her whole duty. All the tithes brought into the storehouse mean the pouring out of the blessing. Mal. 3:10. Real faith is over coming faith. 1 John 5:4. THE GOLDEN TEXT. "I thy servant fear the Lord from my youth." (1) A tribute to Godly parents. "Ye fathers (parents) bring up your children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." What a responsibility is that of parenthood. (2) An argument for early conversion. Youth is the soul's spring time for the sowing of seeds of righteousness. "Suffer little children and forbid them not to come unto Me for of such is the kingdom of Heaven." (3) A testimony to effect of early piety. "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not desert from it." Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed To cure, or money refunded by your merchant, so why not try it?

Experiments on Mummies Some very interesting experiments with the Roentgen rays on several of the mummies at the British museum have been most successful in showing as clearly as possible the bones which for numbers of centuries have remained hidden in the folds of their covering. The X-rays were applied by one of Sir W. Crookes' assistants at the instance of Dr. J. Anderson, who is engaged in a great work on the zoology of Egypt, and wished to ascertain whether it was possible to determine the species of the sacred animals of the ancient Egyptians by means of their anatomy. In this he has been successful in several cases, and notably in the mummies of the sacred baboons. The skulls and bones of the animals are clearly indicated in the spiragraph, and one photograph shows a little monkey which has been identified as belonging to a species found in northeastern Africa. Representations of this species occur on the monuments of ancient Egypt. This particular mummy was found by Prof. Flinders Petrie at Denderah, and it probably dates from the fourteenth century before the Christian era. — Birmingham Post. Twenty Uses for Corn. The Indian corn propaganda at the Paris exposition and the conventions recently held in the west in the interest of corn producers have brought out the fact that over 20 important products are now manufactured from corn. One of the most important products is distilled spirits, the demand for which has increased greatly since the invention of smokeless powder, in the manufacture of which the spirits are largely used. Among the other products made from corn are: Mixing glucose, crystal glucose, grape sugar, anhydrous grape sugar, special sugar, pearl starch, powdered starch, refined grits, flourine, dextrine, British gum, granulated gum, gum paste, corn oil, corn oil cake, rubber substitute, gluten feed, chop feed, gluten meal and corn germ. With the present economical methods of manufacture not a particle of the corn is wasted. There is no refuse.—California Vineyardist. A Simple Home Dinner. A simple home dinner may begin with a clear soup, made from the bones left from the roasts and steaks, or it may be a clear tomato soup, heating and stimulating rather than nutritious. Follow this by a joint or poultry with vegetables, two only, then the dinner salad with toasted wafers or bread sticks, or toast and cheese, pineapple, plain American cheese, creme cheese, or the more expensive ripe cheeses, such as Roquefort, Gruyere or Brie. A simple dessert of Bavarian cream, caramel custard, rice meringue, souffle, and a small cup of coffee may close the dinner.—Ladies' Home Journal. Reflections of a Bachelor. Trumps are always kisses. When in doubt lead trumps. A "deathless joy" is probably nearly as source as a kissless girl.

SAVED FOR THE FISH TRADE He Had Too Much Intellect to Be "Hove Away" on a Doctor. He Had Too Much Intellect to Be "Hove Away" on a Doctor. The fish-man drove into the yard a few days after the new summer residents had taken possession of their home, and seeing an open door he stepped in and confronted the mistress of the house, relates Youth's Companion. "Gettin settled, I 'pose,' he said, agreeably, allowing his gaze to wander from two half-unpacked trunks to a table loaded with miscellaneous articles. "Well, take your time, take your time; there's plenty of it up here! I understand your husband's a doctor, ma'am?" "Yes, he is," said the summer resident, who in spite of warnings from city neighbors that she had better display no haughtiness of spirit under questioning was unable to put much cordiality into her tone. "Well, now, I come near bein' a doctor," said the fish-man, still with a wandering gaze. "My folks wanted I should be one, all exceptin' of an aunt that had money, and was looked to to help me out financially if I took up with a profession. She spent one summer here, and she made a reg'lar study of my character an parts, and at the end of the season she up an' told my folks that 'twas so, I must go into business." "That boy has a lot of money to be bove away on a doctor," she said; those were her very words. Now how would you like a couple of 'good mack'rel all sit up an' ready for the bri'er?" Think It Over.

Cleveland, Ark., August 15 (Special).—Nearly every newspaper tells of some wonderful cure of some form of Kidney Disease by the Great American Remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills, and this part of Arkansas is not without its share of evidence that no case is too deeply rooted for Dodd's Kidney Pills to cure. Mr. A. E. Carille, well known and highly respected here, tells of his cure after nearly a quarter of a century's suffering. Mr. Carille says: "I want to let the public know what I think of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I think they are the best remedy for sick kidneys ever made. "I had Kidney Trouble for 23 years and never found anything that did me so much good as Dodd's Kidney Pills. I recommend them to all sufferers." There is no uncertain sound about Mr. Carille's statement. He knows that Dodd's Kidney Pills he resented and the public to know it, Dodd's Kidney Pills cure all Kidney ill from Backache to Bright's Disease.

PINKHAM:—I suffered for several years with general weakness and bearing-down pains, caused by womb trouble. My appetite was fitful, and I would lie awake for hours, and could not sleep, until I seemed more weary in the morning than when I retired. After reading one of your advertisements I decided to try the merits of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I am so glad I did. No one can describe the good it did me. I took three bottles faithfully, and besides building up my general health, it drove all disease and poison out of my body, and made me feel as spry and active as a young girl. Mrs. Pinkham's medicines are certainly all they are claimed to be."—Mrs. M. E. HUGHSON, 347 East Ohio St., Chicago, Ill. Mrs. Pinkham Tells How Ordinary Tasks Produce Displacements. Apparently trifling incidents in woman's daily life frequently produce displacements of the womb. A slip on the stairs, lifting during menstruation, standing at a counter, running a sewing machine, or attending to the most ordinary tasks may result in displacement, and a train of serious evils is started. The first indication of such trouble should be the signal for quick action. Don't let the condition become chronic through neglect or a mistaken idea that you can overcome it by exercise or leaving it alone. More than a million women have regained health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If the slightest trouble appears which you do not understand write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., for her advice, and a few timely words from her will show you the right thing to do. This advice costs you nothing, but it may mean life or happiness or both.

Mrs. Julia Townsend, of 2851 Lemp avenue, is a lady of culture and refinement. She is one of the best workers in the First Baptist church, and she loves to read the Palladium. Mrs. M. T.

Cole wants to raise $400 to pay off a note which will be due on the last of this month; hence he invites everybody to come and help out this worthy cause. Dr. E. C. Cole, of the First Baptist church, is so mindful of his duties, and ever watching over his flock, until he knows just what they need, hence he never fails to invite good preachers to speak to his congregations every once in a while. Last Sunday he invited Rev. Dr. Vass, of North Carolina, and Rev. Dr. W. F. Bolts, of Carrollton, Mo. The former preacher at 11 a. m. and the latter at 7:30 p. m.

Contests between airships probably will be the chief of many attractions on St. Louis day at the World's fair. The $500 prize offered at the World's fair on Manufacturers' day is still waiting the holder of coupon No. 110,209. St. Louis wholesale merchants are greatly pleased with the World's fair as a medium for increasing business. The total admissions to the World's fair, up to the night of the 13th, was 6,925,595. The attendance is steadily increasing. The Philippine constabulary band, from the World's fair, is attending the biennial conclave Knights of Pythias at Louisville, Ky. Plans for thousands of factory employees to visit the World's fair are being matured by the welfare department of the National civic federation. Union station officials and employees at St. Louis, say that more passengers have arrived there in the last seven days than in any other week since the World's fair opened. The drawing of lots for the Rosebud reservation opening will begin at Chamberlain, S. D., Thursday. There are 106,000 entries, among whom 2,000 prizes are to be distributed. The United States has not and will not invite any kings, princes or foreign potentates to the St. Louis World's fair, as congress made no provision for their entertainment. Tokio officials believe that the course of Russia in the Pacific and in the Red sea indicates a desire to involve other powers in order to have a good excuse for abandoning the war with Japan. In the Louisiana exhibit in the World's fair Palace of Agriculture is a display of a brand of perique tobacco which has been manufactured by the same family for over a hundred years.
