St. Louis Palladium

ST.LOUIS PALLADIUM "I know of the bravery and character of the Afro-American soldier. He saved my life at Santiago. I have had occasion to say so in many articles and speeches. The Rough Riders were in a bad position when the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry came rushing up the hill, carrying everything before them. The Afro-American soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the civil war he came 400,000 strong, and I believe he saved the Union."-President Roosevelt. Vol. XX.

Filipino Soldiers The Filipino soldiers' drill, which takes place between 5 and 6 o'clock every evening, near the Philippine reservation, is the finest military drill ever seen in our city. The soldiers move automatically. Their postures are perfect in every respect. The calesthenic drill, and that with guns, shows the precision with which these soldiers are drilled. The Filipino band plays the national air sweeter than our American boys. The drill is acknowledged by all to be one of the best features of the fair. The Philippine Exposition at the World's Fair. Any young man who has any aspirations as a soldier should visit the Philippines at the World's fair.

A Progressive Young Man. After an absence of nearly six years, Mr. George M. Cathrell will return to St. Louis about September 9, to visit his parents, and incidentally to do the Pike. Mr. Cathrell is a graduate of Summer high school, class of '96. In September, 1898, he entered the college department of Howard university, from which he was graduated in 1902, with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. He was the orator of his class. All during his collegiate course he was an active participant in many of the college literary society debates. Soon after graduation, Mr. Cathrell was appointed as a cataloguer in the Carnegie Public library, of Washington, D. C. During this time he commenced the study of dentistry at Howard. Soon his dental practice required so much of his time that he was compelled to resign his library position. At the beginning of this year he was appointed assistant to the professor of chemistry and physics at Howard university. In this position he has charge of the instruction of physical sciences in the preparatory department. The many advantages which Mr. Cathrell has had make him one of St. Louis' most highly-educated sons. His many friends will all heartily welcome him back to his native city and wish him success in all of his future endeavors. Arrivals at the Newport R. P. Henderson, Chicago; W. H.

We are informed that a certain member of Elizabeth Temple No. 12 promised to take little Gertrude Mahoney to the session of the Grand Temple at Sedalia, last week. When the time came, and the little one patiently waited with her grip packed, there were no signs of the lady. Now, sister, what is your excuse? We hear the lady has not been seen or heard from since. Children, when disappointed, feel it keenly. They should not be beguiled by their elders into believing untruths. The Douglass Club.

King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO" Recognizing the fact that there are many 80-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics. OZONO. fon-clad guarantee to do all that. Now, we ask you a plain question: $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with to all we claim for them?

Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozone has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozone as the King of all Hair Tonics.

Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the life of the hair, and cause it to drop out. Ozone straightens without any outside assistance.

LESSON TEXT. { I Kings 19:1-8; Memory Verses, 3, 4 } 1. And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. 2. Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to-morrow about this time. 3. And when he saw that, he arose, and went his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belonged to Judah, and left his servant there. 4. But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree; and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, it is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers. 5. And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat. 6. And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baked on the coals, and a crusse of water at his head. 7. And he did eat and drink, and he sat down again. 8. The angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. 8. And he rose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat 40 days and 40 nights unto Horeb the mount of God. THE LESSON Includes only the lesson GOLDEN TEXT.--"In my distress I cried until the Lord, and he heard me."-F's. TIME. The day after the contest on Mount Carmel. PLACE—Jezreel, and the wilderness to the south. the south. Comparing Scripture with Scripture. From Faith's Mountaintop to Unbelief's Wilderness.—James 5:17 tells us that Elijah was a "man of like passions with us," and it is only as we remember this that we can realize that the fleeing prophet is the same prophet who 24 hours before had stood upon Mount Carmel calling down the fire of God. God forbid that we should sit in judgment upon this heroic, brave, faithful servant of God. Rom. 2:1. But in humility and faith we may learn some lessons from his failure and thereby strengthen ourselves against like defeat. 1 Cor. 10:11-12. The causes of Elijah's flight were: (1) Physical reaction. The journey from Zarephath and the events on Mount Carmel caused physical and nervous exhaustion, which was followed by great weakness and depression. The place for Elijah was not at Jezreel but alone somewhere with God where he could receive spiritual and physical reviving. The place for the servant of God always, after a service has been splendidly rendered, is apart from the busy throng and alone with Jesus. Elijah's first misstep was that run to Jezreel. Having done all he should have stood and left results with God. (2) Elijah overestimated the effect of Mount Carmel's revival. He went a step farther than God led him and figured on results, and when expectations failed discouragement came. Elijah went to Jezreel in great elation of spirit expecting that the mighty manifestation of God on Mount Carmel, and the flood of waters, would turn the most hardened sinner to God; perhaps he even looked for the conversion of Jezebel herself. The servant of God who figures on results, who estimates the probable fruitage, is inviting just such failure as came to Elijah. "God gives the increase." It is our business to sow the seed, preach the word, and leave results with God —1 Cor. 15:58. (3) Elijah took his eyes off God. He saw Jezebel and her vain threat v. 2; he saw himself as the only one left who knew and served God, and he saw the glaring faults of others, vs. 10.14. And so he had no eyes to see God. The man who takes his eyes off God is defeated and ready for flight. Prov. 29:25. The ten spies saw the giants and not God, Num.13:33, but Joshua and Caleb looked beyond the difficulties to God, Num.14:8. (4) The Egc instead of God, Elijah had much to say about MY zeal, MY devotion, MY life and the fallings and sins of others. When self becomes the center of thought, when self is lauded and others condemned; when self appears indispensable to God, then comes the flight of discouragement, the juniper tree, and the desire to forsake the task, even by death. Elijah's Foolish Prayer—He wanted to die, when the chariot and horses of Heaven were preparing to translate him. It was the prayer of petulancy, of discouragement, of unbelief. Contrast the prayer uttered in the Spirit on Mount Carmel with its answering fire and abundance of rain, and this prayer under the juniper tree. Rom. 8:26. God did not hear this prayer of Elijah. John 5:14-15. And how many of our prayers fall short of the Divine ear for the same reason. God's Tender Care.—He gave His weary, frightened, discouraged, runaway prophet sleep. V.5. Ps.127:2 He sent His angel to minister to him. Heb. 1:14. He watched over him and sent His angel a second time. Ps.121:3-7 No word of rebuke. No sign of displeasure. No threat or condemnation; but patient waiting, loving, tender watchful care. Ah, how the Father's love is manifested. God loved and cared for disobedient, unbelieving, runaway Elijah, and so he cares for and loves you and me when we fall into sin.—Ps.103:13; 86:15. THE GOLDEN TEXT. "If the Lord be God, follow Him." This is the challenge that comes to every soul. We are ready to cry with the people on Mount Carmel: "The Lord, He is God; the Lord, He is God." But how about following Him. We should follow Him, because, (1) He invites us. Matt. 11:28. (2) His way is the only safe way. Ps. 1. (3) He is the only through Gudz. John 14:6. (4) Cross-bearling means crown-wearing. Matt. 16:10 and James 1:12. (5) His way leads to mansions in Heaven. John 14:2. (6) His way is so profitable. 1 Tim 4:8. For the Most Popular Lady in the Western States.

Columbia, Mo., Aug. 23.—The United States department of agriculture, climate and crop bulletin of the weather bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending August 22, 1904, says: The week was marked by higher temperatures than any time during the season, and for the first time during the summer the temperature for the entire state averaged about normal. Nearly every county in the state received good soaking rains from the 17th to the 20th inclusive, breaking the long and serious drought. From three to five inches fell over the greater portion of the central section, where drought conditions were most serious, and the entire state received, on an average, about three inches. It was a splendid rain, just such a rain as was badly needed. Wheat threshing is nearing completion; it is practically completed in the south and east portions. The yield is reported to be very light and of poor quality. Oats are nearly all threshed, and a fair to good yield has been secured. Corn has been greatly benefited by recent rains; most of the early planted, where not seriously damaged by drought, is practically made, and the late planted is now in excellent condition, except in some few scattered counties in the central section, where the rains came too late. Cotton continues in good condition; the rains were timely and general, and the crop received great benefit. Very little shedding is reported. Potatoes are in good condition, except in some few scattered localities, where the drought affected the crop to some extent. Sorghum and millet are in good condition. Gardens have been revived and are taking on new growth. The second growth of clover is most promising. The apple crop continues disappointing; the fruit is defective in many respects and continues to fall. Peaches and other fruits are fair to good. The soil is now in excellent condition, and plowing for wheat has commenced. All pasturage was greatly revived by recent rains, and the outlook is satisfactory. GEORGE REEDER, Section Director. MET A WATERY GRAVE Prisoner in St. Louis Workhouse Made Daring Attempt to Escape, and Was Drowned. Michael C. Bennett, of Des Moines, Ia., a prisoner at the St. Louis workhouse since July 28, would have been a free man had he lived, but in an attempt to escape on the evening before his pardon papers were to have been laid before Mayor Wells he met death by drowning in the Mississippi river at the foot of Meramec street. Mayor Wells had been asked to pardon Bennett, and, after being informed that so far as known he had no previous police record, the mayor had consented to release the man. Bennett made a break for liberty, and tried to escape by running along the railroad tracks which pass near the workhouse. The guards blocked his path, however, and he turned toward the Mississippi river and ran in. He attempted to swim, but was unable to do so, and in sight of the guards sank out of sight. His body has not been recovered. Quantrell's Men Reunite. A reunion of Quantrell's men was held in Proctor's grove, near Independence. Thirty-five members of the organization were present. It was the seventh annual reunion. The day was taken up in reminiscences and speeches. The absence of Frank James and Cole Younger was noted, both men being detained from the gathering on business. Shot Himself in Forhead. A would-be suicide, thought to be Thomas Strain, of Springfield, shot himself in the forehead at Harrisonville. There is no hope for his recovery. Cupid at the Fair. Dr. L. E. Rice and Miss Clara M. Lovell, both of Greenville, met at the World's fair and decided to marry. The knot was tied by a Clayton justice. Laborer Killed by a Train. George Bilderback, aged 22, was killed by a Frisco train in St. Louis. He attempted to get aboard and was thrown under the wheels. Engineer Drops Dend. John W. Plant, aged 55, a Missouri Pacific engineer, dropped dead while talking to his wife and daughter at his home in St. Louis. Negro Shot. Charles Vaughn and Hardy Thomas, negroes, fought over a woman, in St. Louis, and the former was shot three times in the body. Confederate Reunion. Confederate Recount. The ninth annual ex-federate encampment of south Missouri is being held at Barniz's lake, ten miles west of Salem. Thieves Drank His Health. John J. Willard, a St. Louis saloon-keeper, was robbed of $150. The thieves daank to his health before they departed. KANSAS CITY NEGROES FIGHT Fracas Started Over Board Bill and the House Is Fired—Officers Quelled Disturbance. Squire Marshall and Charles Nelson, Kansas City negroes, quarreled at Nelson's home over the payment of room rent which Nelson claimed Marshall owed him. Because his mother interfered, Nelson picked up a lighted lamp from the table and struck her on the head with it, causing a deep scalp wound. Mrs. Nelson was dazed for a time, and when she came to she found the room in flames. The lamp her son had struck her with was shattered by the blow, and the oil which had escaped from it was ablaze. Marshall and Nelson had renewed their quarrel with knives in another room, and while Mrs. Nelson ran into the street, giving the alarm, they continued to hack at each other until neighbors separated them. Marshall was cut about the face and head and Nelson received a stab wound in the left side. Firemen reached the house in time to save it from serious damage. They held Marshall and Nelson until a police officer arrived and placed them under arrest. They were taken to police headquarters, where their injuries were dressed. Twenty stitches were required to sew up the cuts on Marshall's head and face. He was sent to the city hospital. Nelson's injury is not serious. He was locked up. JURY COULD NOT AGREE. Lee Trueblood Bribery Case Results in a Mistrial at Jefferson City. There was a hung jury in the Lee Trueblood bribery case, at Jefferson City. After being out nearly 24 hours, the jury was discharged. It stood eight for conviction and four for acquittal. Trueblood was charged with having given $300 to Prosecuting Attorney R. P. Stone to drop the Ellis case. On a confession from Trueblood before the grand jury, which promised immunity, Stone was indicted for bribery. The Stone case later was thrown out of court when Trueblood stood on his constitutional rights as a witness. Trueblood was then indicted by Acting Prosecuting Attorney F. M. Brown, who also prosecuted Stone. George Stampil testified that Trueblood attempted to bribe him in the Ellis case, but no proof could be obtained that he attempted to bribe Stone. Stampil is no public official, it is said, but the eight jurors voted for conviction, because Trueblood tried to bribe someone. Burglars at Lamonte The post office at Lamonte, the Bank of Lamonte and Mrs. Jennie Green's millinery store there were burglarized, but only a small sum of money was obtained at the post office, although every letter was torn open. At the bank the robbers failed to open the safe, and the only thing stolen was a revolver. One of the thieves lost his necktie in the post office. This is the only clew to the identity of the robbers. Made Counterfeit Plates. William Wynne, under arrest in St. Louis, admits that he made the plates from which countrefelt bank notes were printed. He says he received $300 for the work. The notes made by the counterfeiters, whose identity Wynne refuses to divulge, were very crude, but they were passed in large numbers in the rural districts. Ended Life With a Bullet.

(6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Caney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. 60 T. R. Theodore Roosevelt will be our next president. Every Negro in St. Louis ought to read The Palladium. When you cast your vote, let it be for the party that gave you a ballot. "The republican party is the ship; all else the sea."—Frederick Douglass. 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. The election of Roosevelt and Fairbanks means continued prosperity for all the people. 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. 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. Roosevelt will not close the door of hope and prosperity against the Negro. Why? Because he is a Republican. The election of Parker can bring no possible good to the Afro-American. Better let well enough alone and vote for Roosevelt. The Afro-American are with Roosevelt because he is with them. Backward glances into history bring no joy to the democratic heart. "Thrice armed is he whose cause is just." Our cause is just and we are bound to win. The democrats are looking for a campaign motto. "Parker and Plunks" ought to fit. If Parker is elected wages will go down. Remember that, Afro-American working people. The democratic party announces its good intentions. The republican party refers to its good deeds. We should rely upon the strong common sense of the people to rebuke the democracy at the polls. Democracy is bad enough at its best, but the country can never acquire a taste for the diluted brand that is on the market this year. We are striving to do our work in the spirit with which Lincoln approached his.—President Roosevelt's Letter of Acceptance. We admit that there are bad Republicans in the party, but the principle of the Republicans are not affected by these vultures. Western democrats insist that Hill and Wall street nominated Parker, and they propose to let Hill and Wall street see if they can elect him. Personalities should not enter into the campaign, and it is not right to refer to Judge Parker as the "Belmont entry" in the presidential race. 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. However good an individual democrat is, when he is elected he can not do anything for the Negro. Why? Because his party rules him. The first business of democratic managers in each campaign is the selection of hisses for the men who led the party four years before. It requires a high grade of nerve to ask the country to get enthusiastic over a neophite statesman, an octogenarian and a nondescript platform. 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. "They have strangled the party to save the organization," said Bourke Cockran when the St. Louis platform was presented. Bourke gets right now and then. Anyone having a recipe for keeping a lot of Miss Democracy's fool friends off the stump this year can do well by opening negotiations with Tom Taggart, chairman of the national committee. The southern democratic oligarchy delights to honor Vardaman, Tillman, Jeff, Davis, of Arkansas, and others of their like, whose stock in trade is their hostility to the Afro-American people. Maryland is normally republican, and in spite of their unfair election law, which aims to disfranchise all Afro-Americans, the state will give a good majority to Roosevelt and Fairbanks. 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. 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 South Dakota democratic convention indorsed Parker and adopted resolutions renewing its allegiance to W. J. Bryan and his platform principles. In other words, South Dakota democrats are for Parker and silver. The democrats are using the alleged woe of the Filipinos just now during the campaign, but when the election is over they'll have no more use for the brown man of the orient than they now have for the black men of America. The Afro-Americans, the French-Americans, the Irish-Americans, the German-Americans, the Bohemian-Americans, the Scandinavian-Americans, the Italian-Americans, and every other class of Americans will this year vote for the typical Americans, Roosevelt and Fairbanks. 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 come 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. THE TICKET. Governor—Cyrus P. Walbridge of St. Louis. Lieutenant Governor—John C. McKinley of Putnam county. Treasurer—Jacob F. Gmelich of Cooper county. Secretary of State—John E. Swanger of Sullivan county. Auditor—W. W. Wilder of Cape Girardeau county. Attorney General—Herbert S. Hadley of Jackson county. Railroad and Warehouse Commissioner—F. A. Wightman of Lawreux county. THE CLIFF DWELLERS. 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.

MYSTERIOUS ASIA. 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 kiosks, 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 silksdraperies, 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, Castanette 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 kiosks 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. W. A. Smith Lodge U. B.

"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 choir's 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. 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. WHEREAS, 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 church 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 KDV. M.KINNEY. 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.

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. Those who have not obtained copies of the beautiful souvenir designed and published by the Sexton & Maxwell photo firm, should do so before the supply is exhausted.

THE DIANA WILL FOLLOW SUIT Grim Record of Disaster to the Russian Sea Power In the Far East Since the Sortie of Au- Shanghai, Aug. 25. The dismantling of the cruiser Askold and the torpedo destroyer Grozovoi is by direct order of Emperor Nicholas, who sent a message to the crews congratulating them on saving the vessels and thanking them for their service to the empire. Paris, Aug. 25. An official dispatch from Shanghai says the Russian consul has notified the taotai that the Askold and Grozovoi have been disarmed. The authorities are awaiting a similar notice from Salgon of the disarmament of the Diana. The French officials are much relieved at the avoidance of dangerous possibilities at Shanghai. Tokio, Aug. 25. -9 a. m.-Two Russian torpedobob destroyers struck mines at the entrance of Port Arthur last evening. The larger one of the destroyers, a four funnelled one was sunk. The names of the vessels and the number of lives lost are unknown. A later report says both vessels were sunk. Everyone at Shanghai Breathes Easier Over Russia's Action. Shanghai, Aug. 26.—Russia has relieved the tension here by disarming the cruiser Askold and the torpedo boat destroyer Grozovol. Her flags have been taken from the two vessels as an evidence that they are out of commission for the remainder of the war. The disarming order is said to have come directly from the czar to Capt. Reitzenstein. Capt. Reitzenstein officially reported the 'lauling down' of the Russian flag last night. The correspondent learns that Capt. Reitzenstein asked the admiralty to be allowed to take out his ship even in the face of the superior Japanese force, but when the admiralty ascertained the condition of the Askold and the time required for repairs, her disarmament was ordered and the incident is considered closed. With the news of the loss to Russia of these two ships, inevitable since the battle of August 10, after which they took refuge in this harbor, came the announcement that the Diana, at Saigon, China, a French port, would also be disarmed, and that two destroyers at Port Arthur had struck mines Wednesday night, one of them being sunk and the other desabled. This accident happened at the entrance to the harbor, where the big battleship Sevastopol was crippled on a mine Tuesday night. Luck seems to be conspiring with the Japanese to sweep Russia's naval power from the seas. This power, formidable two weeks ago, has been almost completely wrecked. A Record of Disaster. The record of the disaster to date is as follows: Battleships—Czarovitch, disabled and disarmed, at Kiao-Chou; Pobieda, heavily damaged, at Port Arthur; Retvizan, heavily damaged, at Port Arthur; Sevastopol, in sinking condition at Port Arthur; Poltana and Perseviet, at Port Arthur, slightly damaged, but still in fighting trim. Cruisers—Novik, disabled by Japanese Sunday, then beached by Russians; Askold, disarmed, at Shanghai; Pallada, probably at Port Arthur, with torpedo hole at her water line. Torpedo Boats—Burni, beached and blown up off Wei-Hai-Wei, Ryeshiteleni, "cut out" by Japanese at Che Foo; Beshemi, Bepositchadni and Berzstrashni, disarmed at Kiao-Chou; Grozovoi, disarmed at Shanghai; two others, not identifid, disabled by mines at Port Arthur, one being sunk Of the Vladivostok squadron the Rurik has been sunk and the Russia and Gromoboi are out of action. Japan's Fighting Force. Japan still has in fighting trim: Battleships—Asahi, Mikasa, Fuji Yashima, Shikishima and Chin Yen. Cruisers—Yakumo, Kasagi, Chitose Takasogo, Akitsushima, Idsumo, Metsushima, Hashidate, Nisshin and Kasuga. Thirty torpedo boats and destroyers London, Aug. 26.—The Anchor line steamer Asia, which sailed August 11 from Liverpool for Calcutta, has arrived at Port Said and reports having been detained two hours while her papers and cargo were examined by the Russian cruiser Ural. A Spot On the Moon. Cambridge, Mass., Aug. 26.—A telegram has been received here from Prof. H. Pickering, who is at the Lowe observatory, California, tending to confirm an observation of a spot on the moon, made by him last month. LARGEST TURBINE VESSEL LARGEST TURBINE VESSEL The Turbine Steamer Victorian Successfully Launched at Belfast. Special Modifications of the Turbine Principle Have Been Successfully Applied to the Big Ship. Belfast, Ireland, Aug. 26.—The Allan line steamer Victorian, the largest turbine vessel yet built, was launched here. It is expected that she will be ready for service before the end of the year. She is 540 feet long, has 60 feet beam and her depth is 40 feet 6 inches. The Victorian is to be fitted in almost luxurious manner and is to carry 1,500 passengers, but the chief interest in her lies in her propelling power. Turbine steamers on the Clyde and in the cross-channel service have proved very successful, mainly because they have offered more room to passengers, but still more modifications had to be devised to meet the requirements of the Atlantic service, including enormous propelling power and great stopping, backing and steering power. The difficulties are understood to have been overcome by Charles A. Parsons, the engineer, who has developed the steam turbine and made it suitable for the generation of electricity and the propulsion of mercantile and war vessels. A special arrangement has been devised for the Victorian's machinery, whereby reversing power equal to that of the forward propelling power can be imparted to it, securing the almost instant arrest of the steamer's forward motion and speedy backing in case it is needed. Her propellers are three in number, each on a separate length of shafting. The Victorian will be fitted with a wireless telegraph apparatus, and will carry a complete printing outfit between decks. Her tonnage is about 12,000, and she is expected to develop about 10,00 horse power. CONSTABULARY AMBUSHED. There Are, Apparently, Some Bellig- erents in a Few of the Phi- lippine Islands. Manila, Aug. 26.—A detail of native constabulary has been amused on the Island of Leyte by a superior force of bandits. Capt. H. Barrett, of the constabulary, was killed in the fighting. There has been trouble in the province of Misam, Island of Mindanao, where bandits have looted several towns. The native authorities were defied and Pablo Mercado and his family were kidnapped. Mercado was accused of being too friendly with the Americans. Three Chinese stores were burned. Four natives were murdered, the rest of them being buried alive. Col. Harbord, of the constabulary, is now on the trial of the bandits. Lieut. Thornton, of the constabulary, met death by drowning near Dagupin, Island of Luzon. AN END TO HIS TROUBLES. Suicide of M. S. Boody, a Promi- nent Speculator, In His Wife's Presence at Eldora, In. Lldora, Ia., Aug. 26.—Calling his wife into the back yard and bidding her witness his act, M. S. Boody, a prominent speculator and stockman, placed a pistol to his head and in the presence of the half-fainted woman, pulled the trigger, sending a bullet crashing into his brain. He died al- most instantly. No cause is given for the act other than it is supposed it was because of domestic troubles, coupled with unfort- unate speculations. Boody left a note to his mother in which he said his troubles were too great to bear. THE WORST WASHOUTS EVER The Santa Fe Experiences Great Trouble by Flood In the Western Desert.' San Bernardino, Cal., Aug. 26.—The worst washouts ever experienced by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway have occurred on the desert east of Bagdad. The extent of the damage is not known, but it is very serious. A special train has left here for the desert with a large force of men to commence the work of repairing the road as soon as the floods abate. AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE. Colorado Troops, at Denver, Belma Held For a Call to Go to Denver, Col., Aug. 26.—It was anofficers of the guard in this city had been notified to hold themselves in readiness to take their commands to Cripple Creek at a moment's notice. Adjt-Gen. Bell refused to confirm the report, but there was activity at the armories. After Forty Years. St. Louis, Aug. 26.—After living together in peace for nearly forty years, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Blattner have drifted apart and the husband has filed divorce proceedings in Clayton. The couple were married in Highland, III. Women Got to Work. Kewanee, Ill., Aug. 26.—Women armed with axes and crowbars demolished two stock yards fences and sheds at Osco, northwest of here. The stock yards have long been considered nuisance. In Egypt and the Soudan, in India and all through the east an enormous trade is carried on in vegetable oils, which take the place of our butter and margarine products. One of the principal edible oils is obtained from the ground nut, known in France as "arashide oil." Over 1,000,000 hundred-weight of these nuts are annually imported into that country for its production. Belgium also takes vast quantities. Arachide oil is an excellent soap maker, besides being an edible oil, and when cotton oil is high in price will compete well with it in this branch of industry. In Europe alone there is already a very large consumption of it, to be counted in tens of thousands of tons.—Chicago Chronicle. 'Twas Ever Thus. Alas! my new umbrella—I miss it with a sigh; the day I rashly bought it a friend was standing by. Next day it rained—he borrowed it, to be returned that night; but since that fatal moment it hasn't blessed my sight. He lent it to a neighbor's wife, and to increase my woe she lent it to the minister, and it's still upon the go. He lent it to a student, who lent it to a friend, and still it's going, going, gone; I wonder where 'twill end. But through the cloud of borrowers, one ray of hope I see; perhaps I may be lucky and it will be lent to me—Chicago News. Music for the Deaf. Dr. J. G. McKendrick, of Glasgow, is just now attracting great attention in the scientific world with his experiments on a process of communicating the charms of music to deaf people. By means of an ingenious contrivance he has succeeded in communicating to electrified water vibrations of sound which correspond exactly to the various rhythms. A deaf person, by keeping his hand in this water, can fully enjoy the music.-N. Y. Journal. Life in India. For 3,000 years the Hindoo standard of living has been almost the same for rich and poor.

Fancied Attributes of the Rose. The Syrians regarded the rose as an emblem of immortality; the Chinese planted it over graves, and in the Tyrol it is said to produce sleep.

The food of childhood often decides whether one is to grow up well nourished and healthy or weak and sickly from improper food. It's just as easy to be one as the other, provided we get a proper start. A wise physician like the Denver Doctor who knew about food, can accomplish wonders, provided the patient is willing to help and will eat only proper food. Speaking of this case the Mother said her little four-year-old boy was suffering from a peculiar derangement of the stomach, liver and kidneys and his feet became so swollen he couldn't take a step. "We called a Doctor who said at once we must be very careful as to his diet, as improper food was the only cause of his sickness. Sugar especially, he forbid. "So the Dr. made up a diet and the principal food he prescribed was Grape-Nuts and the boy, who was very fond of sweet things, took the Grape-Nuts readily without adding any sugar. (Dr. explained that the sweet in Grape-Nuts is not at all like cane or beet sugar but is the natural sweet of the grailns.) "We saw big improvement inside a few days and now Grape-Nuts are almost his only food and he is once more a healthy, happy, rosy-cheeked youngster with every prospect to grow up into a strong healthy man." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. The sweet in Grape-Nuts is the Nature-sweet known as Post Sugar, not digested in the liver like ordinary sugar, but predigested. Feed the youngsters a handful of Grape-Nuts when Nature demands sweet and prompts them to call for sugar. Get the little book "The Road to Wellyll" in each pkg BACKACHE AND DIZZINESS. Most of the Aliments Peculiar to the Female Catarrh to Catarrh of Pelvic Organ MRS. M. BRICKNER. 99 Eleventh Street, Milwaukee, Wis. "A short time ago I found my condition very serious, I had headaches, pains in the back, and frequent dizzy spells which grew worse every month. I tried two remedies before Peruna, and was discouraged when I took the first dose, but my courage soon returned. In less than two months my health was restored."—Mrs. M. Brickner. The reason of so many failures to cure cases similar to the above is the fact that diseases peculiar to the female sex are not commonly recognized as being caused by catarrh. Catarrh of one organ is exactly the same as catarrh of any other organ. What will cure catarrh of the head will also cure catarrh of the pelvic organs. Peruna cures these cases simply because it cures the catarrh. If you have catarrh write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

And deepening shadows hover o'er life's way. way Soon shall the clouds of doubt and fear pass over. And darkest night shall end in glorious day. Though earthly life doth bring us dark temptations, Dimly we see beyond the misty vall: Sorrows and trials may press more closely round us, But faith can see when human sight doth fall. Though all the world doth scorn each endeavor. Go bravely on, nor fear what it doth say. armed with the truth, at last the right will conquer. And we shall rise victorious from the fray. All the pure thoughts and holy aspirations That have been ours, brief though they may have been. Have lifted us from our base selves to greater. Nobler heights, beyond this world of sin. They are not lost, to larger life they've helped us, And shown us glories the soul alone can see; Far, far beyond this life of earthly shadows, From what we are to what we yet may be. Endure all things, that perfect life endured them. Through darkest hours the invisible we'll see. Then shall we triumph over earthly sorrows, And know of wondrous things that are to be. —Miss Aline Chester White, 1a N. Y. Observer THE OTHER HOME. What the Earthly Home Is That Will the Heavenly Be in Fuller Measure. "One may boast of the sweetness of morn's early dawn; of the morning fragrances. Of the sky-soffening graces when day is just gone but far sweeter is the horse, when night has spread her mantle over the earth without, and the family is shut in, curtained with the night's darkness. It is then, indeed, love finds a voice. The toils of the day are over What otherwise might make one morose is laid aside, and a gentler mood and a more loving spirit take possession of the soul. Whittier's legend of Goodman Garven and his wife has a surpassing charm. "Dog with head on paws and tail slowly wagging, mottled cat, winking and purring, crackling walnut log, and dame and goodman sitting right and left," is a picture true to life—the old home life. The walnut log and the old-time home are no mare. In their stead have come the modern home, and its changed conditions. But the home spirit is the same. The family hearthstone is eternal. We turn to the long ago, when we were all together in the old home, but it is not what it used to be. writes J. C. Shipp, in the Baptist Standard. It is gone; it lives only in memory; but the new home, with its light and hope and cheer, is ours. The germ out of which it has grown is the old home of the past; its reality is the new home with its song and joy. "Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home." Whether it be the old or the new, theoses of morn's early dawn are not so fair and the sky-softening graces where day is just gone are not so sweet. But the home of the soul lies over yonder and the divine heartstone is eternal as His throne. To it let us repair when the day's work of life is done, and the night of death has flung her mantle over us. BRAVE COMMON SENSE. Times When It Is Harder to Speak Plainly Than to Face an Army in Battle. A veteran of the civil war once said it was very difficult for him to define courage in war. He said it was usually considered courage to face the enemy and die in your tracks if need be, but he added that he had seen men running to the rear as fast as their legs could carry them, and while he stood in the line facing the enemy he envied those men their courage to run, it really seemed to require more courage to be a coward than it did to hold one's ground. Seeming cowardice, however, is sometimes inherent common sense. President Eliot recently said at St. Louis that the American people were cowardly in that so few of them dare to stand against the crowd. But in America public opinion rules, as Wendell Phillips said, omnipotent and omnipresent. It sometimes may require more courage not to antagonize our neighbors than to throw down the challenge of open war. The Germans have recently invented a cylindrical dam, says Frederick M. White, in the Baptist Union, which is to adjust that it can be rolled up out of the way when the heavy floods with ice and logs sweep down the stream; it is simply courageous good sense for the dam to get out of the way when come the spring freshets. Christ Jesus knew likewise this courage seemingly to lack courage when he passed through the midst of the mob at Nazareth. He bided His time. He waited till His day had come, then nothing could swerve Him. Let us do as well. Selfishness is animalism in full frost.—United Presbyterian. CONCERN FOR ONE LIFE. We do not pretend to dispute a single word in the Bible about the lost estate of fallen man. We believe the record of the fall. The evidences of it are manifold and exceedingly manifest. But although we accept the doctrine of total deprivacy, and would not on any account whittle down any of the Bible's severe arraignments made against the sinful sons of Adam, yet every once in a while we are compelled to admire the nobility that shines forth in human nature, says Alexander Williams, in New York Observer. The doctrine of total deprivacy does not imply that there is nothing, commandable in mankind. Christ looked on a young man once and loved him, even though the young man was not in the right way. Surely Christ would not have been thus moved towards the young man had there not been in him something worthy of affection. A few days ago a diver went down into the depths of a large reservoir at Boonton, in the sister state of New Jersey, bent on an important duty, when, sad to say, the suction at the mouth of a huge pipe drew him in and kept him there until he became exhausted and so perished. In vain other brave men have sought to rescue him. One who went down had his hand crushed in the attempt to rescue his fellow laborer, was determined to go down to rescue "my pard," but was of course prevented from making the useless attempt. For hours the unfortunate victim below the water hoped against hope. Again and again the frantic pulls upon the signal ropes told the workers above that he still lived. By and by these became feebler and less frequent; then they ceased altogether, for the man was beyond the best of human help. As the news of the unfortunate diver's predicament spread in the neighborhood, it was received with a sense of horror. Thousands of persons from far and near came to watch the efforts put forth to rescue him. The intensest anxiety was manifested. The tragic incident was recorded in the suburban and metropolitan press. Every detail of the casualty and every particular of the work of rescue was given. In thousands of homes the man's awful fate was the subject of anxious and sympathetic converse. The chances of his ever brought back to land alive were eagerly discussed. The life of a fellow man and brother was at stake, and countless hearts were disturbed and distressed, as the evident hopelessness of the case became apparent. Rescue apparatus was promptly rushed from New York; all that could be done was done, but all ended in bitter disappointment and forced resignation to the inevitable. But the interest manifested during the proceedings did credit to all who longed and hoped, and in many instances prayed, that the diver might be saved. Men in the common avocations of life may essay to get the better of one another, but every now and again one man's peril becomes the anxious concern of the many. All eyes, all thoughts, all hearts will center on one life, one victim, one sufferer. We rejoice that it is so. We soon forget it is true. Seven hundred brave Russians may go down with a sinking man-of-war, and the disaster be forgotten very shortly thereafter. The human mind cannot too long stand the strain of dwelling upon the world's dark and dreadful happenings, yet while lives are being quenched by thousands every day, the intensest interest is aroused by one man's misfortune, by the peril of one life. Since our great Creator has made us with this wonderful fellow feeling, we may be assured that He too is deeply interested in the welfare of the men whom He has made. Not a hair of our head goes unnumbered; we know that not a sparrow's flight escapes His attention, and we are assured that we are of more value than many sparrows. Our God cannot be indifferent to the palms and perils of men. He must surely witness with pleasure every noble effort on the part of man to save the life of his fellow. All that is good and noble and true is of God, and from God, and He must approve the manifestation of brotherly love and noble fellow feeling among the human race. And if one mortal life, that must sooner or later come to an end, is worth so much interest and effort as in the case we have instanced, of how much more earnest effort is the salvation of an immortal soul worthy. God expects us to be interested in and concerned for imperilled lives and imperilled souls. The heartfelt interest of man in man is a sight to encourage us all and to gladden the inhabitants of the skies. It is a sight which God approves. GEMS OF THOUGHT. Personality warms life into color and thrills it into music. He only really aspires to the heights of holiness who walks in the depths of humility.—Ram's Horn. If your spirits are low, do something, and if you have been doing something, do something different.← E. E. Hale. It is hard to tell whether the world suffers more from the optimist who has no sense or the pessimist who has no sight.—United Presbyterian. We see what we are in the light of His perfection. We are tolerably contented with our character once, but when Christ comes we are never that again. Like the sheep that look clean enough among the summer grass, but against the background of the virgin snow look foul; so you and I never know how vile we are until the background of our life is Christ.← G. H. Morrison. Half This Man's Sufferings Would Have Killed Many a Person, But Dean's Cured Him. A. $ ^{4} $ C.

Extermination of Loensts The Cape department of agriculture publishes in its journal an account of successful efforts to exterminate locusts by inoculating them with the locust disease fungus. The fungus is prepared and sold for 12 cents a tube to all applicants living in Cape Colony. In one case more than 100 locusts were found, and microscopical examination revealed the fact that death was due to the fungus. It is stated that those districts in Cape Colony where these inoculation measures are not taken are much more infested with locusts than those localities where the treatment is carried out—Chicago Tribune.

A young man being out of employment recently requested a former employer to give him a letter of recommendation to aid him in securing a situation. The letter was written and handed to the applicant, who was quite unable to read it, as was every other letter it was shown. He was advised to take it to a printing office, where it could be deciphered, as composers are noted for being able to make out the worst specimens of writing, relates London Tit-Bits. He was handed to compositors in various offices, and in turn given up without being deciphered. Then hope it was taken to a chemist, who from his long experience in deciphering prescriptions, had the reputation of being able to read anything. The man of drugs took the paper, gazed at it long and thoughtfully, and then seized an empty quart bottle and hurried round the shop, taking some fluids from sunny bottles, and finally shaking the compound out, then, handing it to the owner of the letter, he remarked to that asonished individual: "Two shillings; and a very good cough mixture it is!" FRIENDS FOR A MINUTE. Levy and Cohen Try to Make Up, But Soon Strike a Discord dant Note. Levy and Cohen came out of the synagogue on New Year's day.

Come! We make freeds." Cohen silently shook. "Now, Cohen," continued the reconciliation, "ve go offer to Bungleheim's unt half a drink." Arm in arm they crossed the street. Drinks were ordered and set before them. Cohen, convinced at last of the sincerity of the other's advances, spoke for the first time. "Levy," he said, "I am glad of it. I raise my glass to you, Levy. Vish me someings I take my heart," replied Levy, and raised his glass in turn. "Cohen, my dear friend," said he, "I wish you shoost vat you wish me!" The growing smile faded from Cohen's face and he set his glass down with a bang. "Mr. Abraham!" he exclaimed. "Now you are starting it all over again!" Shouting Their Praises.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for me, suffering from the ills peculiar to the sex, extreme lassitude and that all gone feeling. I would rise from my bed in the morning feeling more tired than when I went to bed, but before I had used two bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I began to feel the buoyancy of my younger days returning, became regular, could do more work and not feel tired than I had ever been able to do before, so I continued to use it until I was restored to perfect health.

It was the only medicine which was at all beneficial, and within a week after I started to use it, there was a great change in my feelings and looks. I used it for a little over three months, and at the end of that time I suffered no pain at the menstrual period, nor was I troubled with those distressing pains which compelled me to go to bed, and I have not had a headache since.

[Name] FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. The barbecue which was given by the members of the First Baptist church, last Wednesday, at Bloemecke's park, was indeed a success. There was a large and lively crowd out all day and part of the night. Rev. W. T. Coldman preached at 11 a. m., and Rev. Toliver at 7:30 p. m. at the First Baptist church, last Sunday. The church was crowded at each service. Strangers are made welcome at all times. The Carnation and Ruth clubs held their weekly meeting last Sunday evening, and it is very likely that each of them will give another entertainment soon. Mr. Henry Gilree, of 3004 Lawton avenue, has been very sick, but he is a little better just now. He has professed a hope in Christ. Mr. Grant, the husband of Madame M. J.

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 bage, 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.) Extra!
