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.

C Gordon The entertainment was very pleasing and amusing, caused by the exalted prelate, Wm. H. Fields, calling upon some member of Parker lodge to speak or sing. All did well. Mr. Geo Longe, who rendered several selections of Shakespeare, was good. With a little study George would stand in the front rank. The optical view presented and the singing by Mr. Chas. Young were well suited to the occasion. Mr. Scott and Mr. Young rendered their parts well. We noticed a number of ladies present, which added to the occasion enjoyment that they were made for, and to glorify man. We shall speak more fully of the different persons that took part in the near future. L. Hall did well. He acted as captain of the court. We noticed Mr. C. D. Howard and M. D. Ponder, of Chicago. Mr. Will Wilkerson was highly appreciated by the vast audience. Mr. John C. Boone, of South Bend, Ind., is an artist of high grade. He is stopping at 2639 Pine street, at Mrs. Fox's. Notice to the Barbers Why is it that the charivari did not take place at 2310 Morgan street? We have stored away a lot of cans to throw at that strange and most wonderful old man. How is it, old man? Do you like it? ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1904. GOV. DAVIS OPPOSES EDUCATION OF NEGROES. Texarkana, Ark., Aug. 30.—Gov. Jeff Davis spoke to a very large audience, a majority of them being farmers from the surrounding country, at the courthouse on the Arkansas side this afternoon. It was one of his characteristic red-hot efforts. Among other things, the governor declared himself in favor of a separation of the school fund of the state, the Negroes to receive for their schools only the taxes paid by themselves. He said that every time you educate a "Nigger" you spoil a good field hand. The speaker warned the Colored men present that if they ever tried to force social equality they would be a lot of "dead Niggers," perhaps, but never social equals. "Every true southern white would kill a Nigger buck like he would a mad dog," he said, "if he should offer to escort his daughter to church," and he declared that he would do so himself, even though he were governor. Let the Negro democrats see how this will set upon their gall. Home From Texarkana Mr. S. W. Williams, who conducts a large millinery store in Texarkana, is here visiting friends and taking in the fair. Mrs. Williams is a thorough business woman, and is looking forward to great success. She will purchase a full stock of fall goods. Mr. S. W. Williams is a man who takes delight in his wife's ability. He is a model husband. He is one of the best known Pullman men on the line and is well liked by all. We have stopped free-doings in the paper. Since the World's fair we have received hundreds of locals concerning coming guests, and those who are here. The senders undoubtedly expect the articles to be published free gratis. Through investigation it has often been discovered that the senders are neither subscribers of The Palladium, nor do they even bear a friendly attitude toward it. Any locals not accompanied by a compensation, will find their way into the waste basket. What's the Trouble? Everyone around the Douglass restaurant is annoyed by a certain postal clerk singing "Honey, I Will Miss You When You're Gone." Wonder what his trouble is?

West, of the First Baptist church, preached at Antioch Sunday, the 28th, at 11 a. m. He spoke from Matthew, 5th chapter and 32d verse. Subject: "Causes and Effect." The sermon was full of good thoughts. At 8 p. m. Rev B. Levister, of Kirkwood, preached a very interesting sermon, from Joel, 2d chapter, 28th and 29th verse. Mrs. Mary A. Lawrence, her sister, and niece, Miss E. Brandon, and Nellie M. Brandon, of Edwardsville, Ill., and Mrs. Mattie V. Shelby and Mrs. Anna Tillman composed a party that spent Tuesday at the World's fair. All were much pleased with their day's pleasure. A very nice programme was re- rendered at the B. Y. P. U. Rev. B. Le- vister addressed the young people. His remarks were very encouraging. The Union meets at 6:30 p. m. every Sunday. Come out. Mrs. Alice Cannon, of 4355 Maffitt avenue, expects Mrs. Johnson and son, Albert of St. Joseph, Mo., next week for a few days' visit. They will take in the fair while here. At this writing Rev. Lewis Lane is quite sick. We hope for his early re- covery. LIEUT. LOVING. What a Manila Paper Says About Him and the Constabulary Band. The Manila Cable News, of February 18, recently received in this city, has the following notice of the presentation by the Constabulary band of a magnificent gold medal, an incident which affords gratification to the St. Louis friends of Lieut. Loving, who is one of the representative Colored men in public life in the Philippines: "A very pleasing feature of the Elks' inaugural reception and ball on Tuesday evening was the presentation of a handsome gold medal to First-Lieut. Walter H. Loving, director of the Constabulary band. "The medal was presented as an expression of the appreciation of the services which Lieut. Loving and his band have rendered the order in the past, particularly on the occasion of the Elks' benefit, given November 16, 1903. "The medal is of exquisite design and workmanship. It consists of a pin with the words "Musical Director" inscribed across the face, and surmounted by an elk's head, and a disk of solid gold of the size of a silver dollar suspended by chains from the pin. The whole medal is of solid gold. Across the face of the disk is written the event commemorated, 'Benefit Performance, Manila, November 16, 1903.' On the reverse side of the disk is inscribed: Presented to First Lieutenant Walter H. Loving, Constabulary Band, by Manila Lodge, 761, B. P. O. F." "Exalted Ruler Reiser called the lodge together Tuesday evening, near the close of festivities, and announced that the members in open lodge had voted to present Lieut. Loving with some token of appreciation for his distinguished services to the lodge on several occasions, and knowing that the inaugural was coming on this date, it had been decided to then make it the occasion of the presentation. "Lieut. Loving was asked to step to the front, and in his characteristic manner, Mr. Reiser made the presentation speech. When Lieut. Loving had recovered from his surprise, he said: 'Friends of Manila Lodge—If I possessed the eloquence of an orator, or even the vocabulary of the exalted ruler, I would still be convinced that words were inadequate to express the gratitude I feel for the honor you have conferred upon me. I am sure that this will be the night most memorable of my entire life; and as I am to be present at the coming exposition in St Louis, I shall consider that you have started me upon my journey with a hope that I may return with this unantibished and increased three-fold. I thank you.' "Lieut. Loving left Manila March 15 on the Sheridan, in charge of his aggregation of 80 trained Filipino musicians. This band is the representative musical organization of the Philippine Islands, and although organized by Prof. Loving only a year and a half ago, has reached such a stage of perfection that it may confidently be looked upon as the musical feature of the Louisiana Purchase exposition. In the Philippine grounds a 35-foot band stand is being erected for the daily concerts by this band. The stand is to be a copy of one of the twin stands in Manila upon the famous Luneta drive and promenade, in which the Constabulary band has appeared each Monday evening since its organization, to the delight of the thousands of the eastern capital who delight in good music. "While playing all the native Filipino airs, the Constabulary band favors the production of all classes of the best modern music. The band remains throughout the exposition, one of the main attractions of the Philippine section. "Lieut. Loving, in addition to being its musical director, acts as commanding officers of the band, each member of which is a duly enlisted soldier of the Philippine constabulary."

A Visitor's Account of the Interesting Meetings of Religious Societies in St. Louis. DISTRICT SECRETARY STEWART ATTENDS THE MEETING OF THE BEREAN BAPTIST ASSOCIATION, AT ST. LOUIS, MO. Great Interest and Enthusiasm—Concecrated Men and Women Discuss the Great Mission Work. The Berean Baptist Sunday school convention, the Women's Home, Foreign Missionary and Educational convention, the Berean Missionary Baptist association, and the B. Y. P. U. occupied the entire week, from August 22 to 28. The meetings were held at the Compton Hill Baptist church, LaSalle street, St. Louis. It was our pleasure to attend all of these bodies and witness their proceedings. They comprise the most thorough going and intelligent men and women in the state. The papers read and discussed before the different bodies were among the best we have ever heard. They were full of the best Christian thought and Christian zeal, inspired by earnest, consecrated hearts. The proceedings of the bodies were characterized by that high appreciation and hearty recognition of Christian manhood and Christian womanhood in the discussion of the various topics presented. The officers were men and women of experience and acknowledged ability. Rev. R. H. Cole, ex-moderator, is a splendid example of the perfect parliamentarian combined with a high degree of executive ability and the rare quality of maintaining his dignity and composure under any and all circumstances. Rev. Wm. D. Venable, as moderator, presided with consummate skill and becoming dignity, and proved conclusively his fitness for the high office to which he had been so recently elected, besides demonstrating his power and diplomacy as an impartial and dignified presiding officer. We bespeak for this brilliant young divine a glorious future that will place him in the highest councils of his denomination. Prof. J. A. Agee was a towering and conspicuous figure in the deliberations of the bodies. Clear, forcible, earnest, scholarly, and possessed with an intense personality, he at once took an advanced position as one of the strongest and most convincing speakers in the assemblage. Some of the leading topics discussed had reference particularly to the demoralizing influences of the wine rooms, beer gardens, and saloons which are carrying so many of our young men and women to ruin and death. One of the best talks we heard on the subject, was made by Miss Fannie M. Oliver. Her clearness and vivid description of the haunts of vice, of the slums and the wine rooms, and her pathetic appeals to the inmates to leave, and they with tears in their eyes would shake their heads and remain, caused many of her hearers to weep. Miss Lucille Arnold, a young woman of rare accomplishments, read a paper which brought her an ovation. This young woman has a brilliant future. Miss Georgia Brown had a splendid paper full of the choicest thoughts which proved that she possessed rare ability. Among the leading men and women who took active part, and gave great in inspiration to the meetings, were: Rev R. H. Cole, Rev. Wm. D. Venable, Rev. Geo. E. Stevens, Rev. E. C. Cole, Rev. S. W. Bacote, Prof. J. A. Agee, president Sunday school convention; Miss Estelle Buckner, secretary Sunday school convention; Miss Fannie M. Oliver, clerk of the association; Miss Mattie Glillee, assistant clerk; Mrs. A. R. Davis, Mrs. S. E. Bell, Mrs. Patterson, missionary; Miss Lucille A. Arnold, Miss Georgianna G. Brown, Mrs. Adelia H. Cooper, president Women's association; Rev. G. West, Rev. Boogs, missionary, and Rev. B. F. Levister, one of the most brilliant and eloquent preachers of the state. We delivered addresses to all these bodies and were treated with great respect and marked consideration. The association donated $5 for the mission work. The delegates and messengers were amply provided for and royally treated, meals being served at the church, through the able management of Rev. and Mrs. Venable, assisted by the brethren and sisters of the Compton Hill church. Comfortable homes were secured for all. St. Louis has done nobly in taking care of the brethren and sisters of these great bodies. Her kindness, hospitality and cordiality will be grateful and pleasantly remembered. GEO. H. W. STEWART. District Secretary, National Baptist Convention, 2630 Lucas Ave., St. Louis, Mo. A SENSATION. COLORED SOCIETY SENSATION FOLLOWS TRIP TO CHI- CAGO. A sensation was created in Colored society circles yesterday by the reci- pt of letters and telegrams from Chicago announcing the elopment and marriage of Miss Mae A. Hamilton, of this city, to Dr. James H. Fitzbutler, of Louisville, Ky., after suddenly break- ing off an engagement of two years' standing with a well-known young Chicago Colored attorney. The bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hamilton, of 4420 Norfolk avenue, knew nothing of her matrimonial intentions when she left home a week ago to visit her cousin, Mrs. T. Sim- ons, at 764 East Forty-second street, Chicago, and the letter received yesterday brought the first information of their daughter's marriage. The meeting of the couple in Chicago was purely accidental. Dr. Fitzbutler was there completing a postgraduate course at Chicago university. The lawyer was out of the city on a hunting trip. The doctor called last Thursday and pressed his long-rejected suit to a successful issue. Friday morning the couple went to the office of a local justice of the peace and were married. They left at once for Louisville, Ky., where they will reside at 1110 Madison street. The bride was teacher at the Dumas school, and is the fifteenth teacher employed there who has, within the past seven years, suddenly deserted to embrace wedlock.—Globe-Democrat, August 31. It is a pitty that the man was not the son of Jeff Davis, the Negro hater. Notice All persons who have subscribed for The Palladium from Mrs. Mary A. Lawrence may expect her around to collect in the next few days. So please be ready for her. ; “BE NOT DECEIVED ; 'T0 THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. § h King of all Hair Tonics, % ; 66 99 mn ©OZONO ; \ by ea Vg aN a j ih Ze ae eee Gen: B33 oe’ a me Re Ck Wit ST aS 8 “ 7 OE ANT de WN , ))\ BEFORE. AFTER. » BEFORE. AFTER 4 ‘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 N of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race tozong it this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. 8. M. Moore, through a fortunate AN 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 4: met with marked success. A“ter a thorough test by the colored people of AN that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to ail that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every 4” member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair Le el N long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there ure always a 4” 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 4” worthless, causing the hair to fall out and Bong great damage to the hair N and scalp, and the colored people are buying these epurious 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 useon yourhair. Do not AN bo deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all NN Hair Tonica, OZOoNO. WN which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or We will forfeit $50.00. Now, we ask you a plain qustion—would we abso- AN lutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, AN it they were not, true fo all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one 4° who has used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-dey using our preparations, and every, parchaser recom*ents Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics,” Qzono will positively ip ake the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Trouble- AN come Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and'straight. It will cure your head of all itching, worrying sealp diseases. Itch Bezema, Dandraf AS and Scurf can not live after Ozono has been applied. It will stop your hair AWN from falling out. It will restore gray hair to its natural color, making the hair long and soft. 1. Now, right here, let us make a statement. Many firms are advertisini NN cemedios to straighten hair, but when they send the, preparation they tell Fon to use hot irons, ‘Friends, donot use hot irons; they. will burn up the AN fo of the hair, and cause it to drop out, Ozono straightens without any N outside assistence, Nothing but, Ozono is necessary, and the bair stays straight forever. You can stop the uso at any time. The good effects on AS tho hair are seen in a day or two after the first application. fi\ The price of Ozono is 50c. a bottle—4 boxes do the work.

And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not ih the earthquake: 12. And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still smail voice. 18. And it was s0, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave.” And, behold, there came a foice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah? 14. And he said, I have been very Jealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the children ‘of Israe] have forsaken Thy cov- fenant, thrown down Thine altars, and slain Thy prophets with the sword; and 1, even Toniy, am left; and they seek my life, to take ft away. 15, And the Lord said unto him, Go, re- turn on thy way to the wilderness of Da- mascus: and when thou comest, anoint Ha- fael to be King over Syria: 16. And Jebu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shait thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. Wi.

So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. | GOLDEN TEXT.—"Fear thou not, for Lam with thee."—Isa, 41:10.

The Place—“Came thither unto save,” in the Mount of God, the place where God appeared to Moses in the flaming bush (Ex. 3:1-2) and the place where Israel had received the law (Ex 19:1-2.) A place hallowed by sacre¢ memories, and yet not the place for Eli- jah, as God’s twice repeated question an¢ His command: “Go, return on thy way,” prove. Elijah spent over 40 prectour days in getting alone with God, when he might have found Him in Israel. ‘May not the prophet have erred as the Samaritan woman did who sought toen- gage Jesus in argument about Mount Gerazim as the only place to find Go¢ and to worship? John 4:20. How many weary days the discouraged Christian often spends in getting alone with God Elijah made up his mind he would go te Sinai to meet God, and the Christian often foolishly fixes place and time for meeting God and spends weary days {5 finding Him.—Acts 17:27, Ps. 145:18. It Was the Place of Heart Searching —(1) God Became the Examiner. Jer 17:10. The prayer of the Psalmist shoulé be our prayer. Ps. 139:23-24. But we must submit. Jas, 4:7. Then God will reveal true conditions to us. Phil. 3:15 “What doest thou here,’ Elijah?” is the question God often has to ask us. (2) God Became the Teacher. The Christian often makes a long journey of it to God's school, even as did Elijah But it is a blessed place tocome. Jobr 14:26; 16:13; 1 Cor. 2:12. God sought te turn Elijah’s thoughts away from self It took the rock-rending winds; the mountain-moving earthquake, and the fierce fire to turn Elijah’s thoughts te God. Oh, how hard it is to bring the soul to listen to God. How God has te almost strip us naked, and afflict us sore, before we will turn from self to Him. It Was the Place of Encouragement —It was humiliating to Elijah to realize that his boast of standing alone for Go¢ was 7,000 below the true number, but surely he was rejoiced and encourage¢ to know how many faithful ones there were. Do you ever feel you stand alone for God? Get away in His school, ané jet Him give you the correct census Alone! Never, for Jesus is ever present Matt. 28:20; He is ever working with us Mark 16:20; by His Holy Spirit, Jobr 16:7-11. It Was the Place of Fresh Commiesion —When Elijah fled from Jezebel he lost his commission. He needed it re newed. The runaway servant of God generally loses bis commission, and it is only as we get alone with God that ws may receive reappointment in the Lord’: work. God's first word to Elijah was: “Go, return on thy way.” Elijah must be (1) submissive to God's will. (2) Obedient to His command; God made Elijah retrace his steps, and many ¢ Christian has to do this very thing be- fore he can do God’swork. It takes sub- mission and consecration and obedienct to do this. And when Elijah was ready ‘to go back; when his spirit of self im: ‘portance had been subdued; when he was wholly given to God’s will; wher he was eager to obey, then God reveale¢ ‘His plans for him. | THE GOLDEN "Ext. “He careth for you.” (1) For thesin- | ful and disobedient?

Threshing of Grain Practically Com- pleted--Corn Has Improved in thet hasthons. Columbia, Mo., Aug. 30.—The United States department of agriculture, cli- mate and crop bulletin of the weather bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending August 29, 1904, says: The average temperature for the week was below the normal. The days were warm, but the nights were unusu- ally cool for the season. A minimum temperature of 45 deyrees was record- ed in the northern part of the state on the 28d and 26th, and 50 degrees oc- curred in the sonthern portion. The moisture was ample in all sections. Lo- .cal wind and hailetorms caused slight damage in few scattered localities. ‘Wheat, oats and rye threshing is practically completed. The yield of wheat is said to be very poor, but oats and rye are giving fair results. Corn improved very much during the week, and is earing well in all sections. The early planted has matured in the extreme southern portion of the state, and in the southwest some has been cut. Corn in the central section was permanently injured by drought and while it was greatly improved by rains, it can not make full crop. Cotton continues in excellent con- dition; it is making good growth and fruiting well. Potatoes are giving good yields; Sweet potatoes are also in good con- dition. Millet is being secured; seed clover is turning out well. A fine quality of hay is being secured, and all winter forage crops are promising. Gatdens show considerable improve- ment. Pasturage is taking on new growth, and stock continue in good condition. Apples continue to fall. In many counties the crop is reported to be to- tal failure. In few scattered counties the crop is only fair, and only in Nodaway, Worth, Gentry and Scotland is the outlook promising. Peaches are very good in the southeast section, but only fair elsewhere; pears, plums and grapes are fair to excellent. Plowing for wheat made good prog- ress; in many localities this work is completed. The soil is in excellent condition. GEORGE REEDER, Section Director R. J.

An application for a write of pro- hibition, raising a new and important point in legal practice in the state, was denied by Judge W. C. Marshah of the Missouri supreme court, when he re- fused to issue an order restraining Judge Samuel Davis, of Saline county, from sitting as judge in St. Francois county in & murder case. Objection was raised by the attorneys that Judge Davis did not have jurisdiction, since in his own district he was circuit judge only of the civil division, a separate criminal division of the court having een established im Saline. In St Francois county both civil and crim- inal cases are argued before the same judge. Judge Marshall cajied in Judges Fox and Robinson to sit with him at the hearing, and the majority decision was that Judge Davis had power to sit as special judge in the St. Francois county case.

One-third ‘of this amount comes from the sale of fyrs. Missouri ranks with the most northern states as a fur producer. More than $1,000,000 come from the cale of wool, while nearly $2,000,000 comes from the sale of beef hides. In the wool season just cloged 6,000,- 000 pounds of wool were sold in Mis souri. The wool crop was lighter than usual this year, owing to the heavy spring rains, and the wool averaged only six poutids to the fleece. The price paid, however, was 20 cents a pound, so the wool grower received as much for this year’s crop as when it was much heavier, When there ia much rain in the spring the fleeces are kept well washed out, free from dirt and dust, and, as a result, the wool is cleaner and lighter. Because of this the dealer pays a higher price, so the farmer generally makes the same amount from his wool erop, whether the yield is heavy or light. Ag enormoys amoun: of dirt collects in wool, and sometimes the weight of the wool decreases as much as 75 per cent. in washing. The wool season opens in Missouri May 1 and continues all summer, although the greater part of the clipping is completed before July 1. Wool grown in Misouri con- tains less dirt and sand than that grown in the western states, and so commands a higher price. The sale of pelts from the Missour! skunks, opossums, mints, raccoons and other fur-bearing animals amounts to about $2,000,000 annually. ‘Many believe that as the state is be coming more thickly populated thesa animals are disappearing. On the con- trary, the income from this course is growing every year, Most of the pelts sold are from the raccoon, although there are many skynk, mink and opos- sum hides on the market. A few muskrat hides are sold. Production of Barytes. Missouri is the chief source of sup- ply of barytes, the deposits being found in Washington, Cole, Miller and Crawford counties. Regarded as a val- uable mineral, with independent pre tensions, barytes has shown a marked increase in production during the last few years. It is now. recognized as a good pigment on its own merits, re- placing other white pigments, as it has @ permanent white color, which re- mains unaffected by weather or by gases, About four-fifths of the total product. of this mineral, according to Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, who has writ- ten a report on the production of bary- tes in 1903 for the United States <> logical survey, is employed in the man- ufacture of white pigment. The v9 of barytes in the manufacture of other baryium compouttds is also increasing. Corner-Stone Laid. ‘The corner-stone of the new St James Episcopal church was laid at Macon in the presence of a large crowd. Rey. Earl H. Merriman, of Brookfield, delivered the address.

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.

We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command. There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each..... 30 Illinois and North Carolina, 12 each..... 24 Mississippi..... 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas..... 12 Missouri..... 9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each..... 18 Washington, D. C..... 4 Virginia and Tennessee, 4 each..... 8 California, Ohio, New Jersey and New York each have 3..... 12 Kansas, Nebraska, Maryland and Colorado each 3..... 12 Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Indian Territory have one each 7 Territory have on each 7 Published in the south. 101 Published in the west. 44 Published in the east. 26 Total. 171 And yet there are what are called political and pocket newspapers. We have about 20 of them that last sometimes a year. The whites are flooded down with them. Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side with weekly white papers of this country. Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro-inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispense news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and brilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. NEW DOUGLASS PALM GARDEN. 2106 Walnut Street. This beautiful palm garden has now opened its doors to the public. The same is one of the most cosey 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. The Western Commercial Travelers' association night, on the Pike, at the World's fair, will take place on August 27, instead of August 22, as published. Two thousand invitations have been issued. A mammoth sweet potato, weighing 40 pounds, in the Louisiana exhibit in the World's fair Palace of Agriculture, has sprouted and the vine has run a distance of 40 feet around the walls of the Louisiana section. Gov. Yates of Illinois proclaims September 5 a holiday in honor of Labor day. Warring to Colored Girls and Women. The greatest stigma that can be attached to a young Colored girl's name is the accusation of intimate relations with a male member of the white race, and for this reason Colored girls and women should studiously avoid the slightest things that give color to such suspicions. There is continually heard whispering here and there concerning this, and usually this form of gossip is directed against those of excellent connections and high standing. This is the most bitter portion in the cup of trouble which the Negro man has to swallow. It oftimes loses for young girls good husbands and probably happy lives, and while they may remain within the pale of good society, because of the fact that the Negro code of social ethics is not stringent enough, they have not the full confidence of their fellow-beings, but maintain their social positions through the spirit of tolerance, of which the Colored race is too greatly possessed. The Negro race is surely growing stronger morally, and toleration because of worldly possessions, good looks and fine clothes is gradually lessening. Our women should beware of all incriminating influences and conditions, and take particular pains to let it be known that they stand strictly on the Negro side of the fence—From Hot Springs (Ark.) Weekly Eagle The above article meets with our hearty approval. The editor of the Weekly Echo feels about the matter as we do. The racial pride should be so inculcated into our women and girls that their virtue should be strenuously upheld, especially with one of the opposite race. Remember, we, as a race, do not occupy any too exalted a position in the estimation of the world, and we at least should not have the charge of immorality against our women. 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. Good Advice If you are troubled with kinky or curly hair, use Ozonized Ox Marrow.

Visitors to the World's fair in St. Louis are warned against being invigued to Creve Coeur lake. The gamblers there have developed into regular highwaymen. The coroner's jury that investigated the killing of John Scott and Nathan Montgomery during the automobile races at St. Louis, last Sunday, returned a verdict of accidental death. Mrs. Anna Spencer, wife of a Greenwich (Conn.) preacher, stood off a highwayman with a pistol, wounding him in the breast and receiving a slight wound herself. The highwayman escaped.

COURSES. Classical, College Preparatory, Normal, Sub-Normal, Model, Training School, Music (Instrumental, Vocal), Drawing (Fine Arts and Mechanical), Carpentry, Woodworking, Blacksmith- 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 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 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. F. meets the third Tuesday in each month. BILLIARD NEWPORT CAFE. SHORT ORDERS A SPECIALTY. 2321 Market Street, St. Louis, Mo. OPEN DAY AND NIGHT. QUICK SERVICE. MEALS AT ALL HOURS.

JAPS TRY FLANK MOVEMENT News So Far is Favorable to the Russians—Demoralization Awaits the Army That Loses The news silence regarding the battle of Liao Yang—perhaps to be regarded as the most sanguinary in the history of warfare—which began with dispatches direct from the battlefield late Tuesday night, was broken by dispatches received Wednesday, saying that fighting had been resumed at dawn that morning, and that the firing extended along the entire line, some seven miles in extent. A dispatch from Liao Yang received late in the afternoon told of repeated bayonet advances on the road directly south of Liao Yang, where the Russians shelled the Japanese positions until four o'clock in the afternoon, when the engagement, which was general throughout the south and southeast, narrowed to the main line. The cannonading continued until evening without advantage on either side. The sudden termination of dispatches gave rise to the belief that communication had been cut north of Liao Yang, but it is officially stated from St. Petersburg that this inference was incorrect. It is positively stated in St. Petersburg that the emperor had received, Wednesday afternoon, a dispatch from Liao Yang. The contents of this dispatch, however, were not disclosed. A Liao Yang dispatch, filed at 5:21 p. m. Wednesday, said that the Japanese were getting around the Russian left flank, while a later dispatch said that the Russians had effected an advance along the railway to the southward, from which direction the Russians retreated before the battle of Liao Yang was begun. Reports reaching St. Petersburg are to the effect that the results so far have been favorable to the Russians. The dispatches estimate the Japanese force at about 240,000 men, and the Russian at from 170,000 to $200,000 men, with from 600 to 1,000 guns engaged on each side. No news regarding the Liao Yang battle has been received from Japanese sources. THE SECOND DAY'S BATTLE. Neither Side Seems Able to Gain the Advantage. Liao Yang, Sept. 1.—The second day's battle commenced at dawn Wednesday. The Russians made repeated bayonet advances on the road directly south of Liao Yang, where the Japanese approached from Sanquaiship and Tao, shelling the positions in the Russian lines until four o'clock in the afternoon, when the engagement, which was general throughout the south and southwest, narrowed to the main line. The Japanese advance on the southeast was by way of the Feng Wang Cheng road. Immediately in front of Chiao Fantun, the Japanese stubbornly attempted to occupy a round-topped hill, which was literally shaved by the Russian shells, making repeated attempts the entire day, where apparently it was impossible for anything to live. The cannonading continued from this point the vicinity of Wanggaoil until Wednesday evening without apparent advantage to either side. The Japanese dropped shells within two or three miles of the railroad station, and in the plain of Wentshu mountain, which is the most important eminence around Liao Yang, but the Chinese abandoned aggression there on account of the resistance they met. There was cannon fire Tuesday night, and this is expected nightly. The varied casualties here include one Russian war correspondent wounded, and also 25 Chinese women from Chiao Fauntun, whom Dr. Westwater, the distinguished missionary, is caring for in the Chinese red cross refuge. The day's developments show that the Russians are prepared for all emergencies. Slow rain began to fall at noon, gradually transforming the plain into a wilderness, through which the wounded, in carts and walking, were Wednesday night making their way to the hospitals. Considering the scale of the day's operations, the number of Russian wounded is apparently small, while the Japanese losses are believed to be great, especially where they were repulsed on the South road. Chinese graves with trees are being leveled about Liao Yang, in order not to interfere with the defense. ANXIOUSLY AWAITS RESULTS. St. Petersburg Expects Crushing Defeat on One Side or Other. St. Petersburg, Sept. 1.—With the knowledge that the Russian and Jap- Entries for Airship Prize. St. Louis, Sept. 1.—Chief Smith of the department of transportation exhibits announced that eight entries, in every one of which the entrance fee of $200 has been paid, have been made for the grand prize of $100,000 for the airship contest. Deny Tender of Good Offices. Berlin, Sept. 1.—Complete and positive denial is given here of the report circulated in Paris that Emperor William is contemplating a tender of good offices with a view to ending the Russo-Japanese war. anese armies about Liao Yang are locked in a death struggle, the tension in St. Petersburg is strained to the utmost. It is believed here that the fight can not stop short of the crushing defeat of one side or the other. All reports so far is favorable to the Russians, though the suspension of all news for many hours has been exceedingly trying, and has given rise to several rumors, somewhat tempering the earlier enthusiasm. It is stated officially, however, that the report that the railway and telegraph have been cut north of Liao Yang is untrue. A member of the general staff said at midnight: "I can assure you that up to this hour communication with Liao Yang has not been interrupted. Gen. Kuropatkin has taken particular precautions against any attempt to cut the railway. While it is always possible that a small raiding party might slip through the Russian patrols, or that hired Chinese bandits might cut the telegraph, it is a fair supposition, in view of all the facts, that this has not been done." The highest military authorities here consider that the most critical stage of the battle has not yet been reached, and they believe that the fight may continue for some time before either side acknowledges defeat. This is an important consideration by the light of which to interpret any immediate news. It is thought here that in view of the numbers engaged, the deep earnestness of the assaults and the length of the line (about seven miles), the losses in the two days' fighting can not fall short of 10,000 on one side. Both sides are straining every nerve, realizing that the fortunes of war for a whole year are in the scale, and neither side is in the mood or the position to spare men in the effort to achieve a final victory. The battle of Liao-Yang will probably rank as one of the great sanguinary battles of history. It is estimated by the general staff that the Japanese armies engaged number 17 divisions of 15,000 men each, or allowing inefficients, about 240,000 men. Each division has 36 guns, and there are two independent artillery brigades of 100 guns each, making a total of about 800 guns. The estimates of Russian correspondents range at from 600 to 1,000 guns per side. ATTEMPT WAS A FAILURE. Maj. Seaman, U. S. A., Failed to Get Into the Stricken City. Che-Foo, Sept. 1.—Maj. L. L. Seaman, U. S. A., returned to Che-Foo Wednesday, after an adventurous attempt to enter Port Arthur. Leaving Che-Foo August 25, Maj. Seaman participated to Takintau, one of the Miaotau islands. Unable to obtain a junk here, he secured a life boat belonging to a steamer recently wrecked, and with four coolies as carmens, and the third mate of the wrecked steamer, he started for Port Arthur. He carried a makeshift American flag with 22 stripes. A headwind and a strong tide compelled Maj. Seaman to return to his strafing place at nightfall. He slept on the pebbly beach. On August 28 he secured a small junk, and with a favorable wind, sped toward Port Arthur. He passed a Japanese cruiser unnoticed, and saw four battleships in the vicinity of the harbor's mouth. His junk drifted too close to the shore, and it was fired upon by Japanese riflemen. Discovering the impossibility of landing in the face of the shore guard and war ships, Maj. Seaman reluctantly returned. Russian Officers Captured. Che-Foo, Sept. 1.—It is reported here upon good authority that the Japanese have captured some Russian officers bound to Port Arthur with important papers. These officers left Mukden, and attempted to get into Port Arthur by junk. For some time past a Japanese torpedo boat has been at sea watching for this junk, and according to report she overtook it at one o'clock Wednesday morning, and took the officers, the papers and the junk into Port Dalny. Steamer Held Up. Che-Foo, Sept. 1.—The steamship independent, under charter to the Osakc Steamship Co. to carry food from Japan to New Chwang, has been held here by Che-Foo commissioner of customs. The Independent put into this port to discharge passengers and local freight. Two Hundred Japs Captured. Mukden, Sept. 1.—Over 200 Japanese captured at the battle of Liao Yang, Wednesday passed through here on a train. Another train is expected. Russians Effect an Advance. Liao Yang; Sept. 1.—The Russians have effected an advance along the railway to the southward. Banker Released on Bond. Denver, Col., Sept. 1.—E. M.

A surprising history is presented in Bulletin No. 57 of the department of agriculture of one of America's greatest contributions to the food supply of the world, Indian corn. Under the effects of cultivation, the recognized varieties have increased from the few known by the early explorers to more than 500. The variations in size are interesting, especially as regards the height of the stalk. This runs from a foot and a half for some kinds of popcorn to 22 feet for a Tennessee variety, and 30 feet or more for varieties grown in the West Indies. Dr. Sturtevant, the author of the bulletin, describes one group in which "each kernel is surrounded by a husk, and the ear thus formed is thus enveloped in husks." Some classes of pop-corn have ears only one inch long, while the ears of common corn sometimes attain a length of 16 inches. -Youth's Companion. English Tea. We look to England for the perfection of tea. The teakettle is as much an English institution as aristocracy or the prayer book, and when one wants to know exactly how tea should be made one has only to ask how a fine old English housekeeper makes it. The first article of her faith is that the water must not merely be hot, not merely have boiled a few moments since, but be actually boiling at the moment it touches the tea. Tea making belongs to the drawing room, and high-born ladies preside at "the bubbling and loud lissing," and see that all due rites and solemnities are properly performed—that the cups are hot and that the infused tea waits the exact time before the libations commence.—Detroit Free Press. Lake Superior and the Rainfall. Lake Superior appears to exercise a greater effect upon the annual amount of precipitation of rain and snow near its shores than any other of the great lakes. The average precipitation in a year is about eight inches greater on the southern than on the northern side of Lake Superior. Lakes Erie and Ontario also show more precipitation on their southern than on their northern shores, but the difference is only three inches annually. In the case of Lakes Huron and Michigan, it is the eastern shores as compared with the western which get the largest precipitation, but the difference is not great—Youth's Companion. LEARNING THINGS We Are All in the Apprentice Class. When a simple change of diet brings back health and happiness the story is briefly told. A lady of Springfield, Ill., says: "After being afflicted for years with nervousness and heart trouble, I received a shock four years ago that left me in such a condition that my life was despaired of. I could get no relief from doctors nor from the numberless heart and nerve medicines I tried because I didn't know that the coffee was daily putting me back more than the Drs. could put me ahead. "Finally at the request of a friend I left off coffee and began the use of Postum and against my convictions I gradually improved in health until for the past 6 or 8 months I have been entirely free from nervousness and those terrible sinking, weakening spells of heart trouble. "My troubles all came from the use of coffee which I drunk from childhood and yet they disappeared when I quit coffee and took up the use of Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

FOR SUNDAY READING A COUNTRY SUNDAY. More fair than all the other days She dawns upon our sight, Some holy spell is in the air, New radiance in the light That sweeps the waking village street And makes the dewy dooryards sweet. Still is the river's bustling din, The mill wheel is asleep; The hands of labor filled with flowers Rest in the silent deep. No ruder noise is there afloat Than music from a robin's throat. Even the wild fields seem to know That it is Sunday's face That beams upon them with so fair And delicate a grace; The smallest blossom on the sod Seems holding some new thought of God. The fragrant breezes whisper rest, The Sunday faces glow With some still brightness from within The week_days never know. The Sunday step is light as air, The Sunday joy is everywhere. And when the shadowy evening falls And soft stars edge the hills A peace that is not of the world The brooding silence fills, There is no dread of morrow's care, The blossoms fold like hands in prayer. And all the weary, heated week, Sweet remnants of her rest The heart hoards softly till once more No clear chill in the air And the clear music of the bells Again upon the silence swells, -Susan Hartley Swett, in Congregator A NEGLECTED VIRTUE. The Old-Fashioned Hospitality Is Lacking Among Most People To-Day. Hospitality is one of the first virtues, as well as one of the finest courtesies of life. One can do nothing better for a friend or confer a higher honor upon a stranger than to throw open the doors of his house with a generous invitation to join the family circle for a time. In the construction of a modern house a blunder fully as serious as the omission of a bathroom or a heating plant is the failure to provide one room more than the family will ordinarily need—a guest chamber. As an aid to culture and refinement, as a means to the proper training of children in good manners and self-respect, there is nothing more effective than a wise and liberal hospitality. To the fact that his parent kept open house for the circuit preacher, the occasional sojourner, the visiting friend from the old home in the east, many a young person in the middle and western part of the country owes his early and useful knowledge of the ways of the world, his ease in society, and a fund of information gathered from the conversation to which often he has listened with breathless interest. Hospitality is only one degree less valuable as an educational measure than travel. Next to seeing all lands and peoples and customs is to meet those who have traveled in distant parts and brought back in their conversation specimens of what their faculty of observation picked up, understood and retained. If it is true that "as iron sharpens iron so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend," the parent who denies himself and his family of growing children the benefit and pleasure of an occasional guest must be regarded as stupid and stingy and selfish. But this virtue should find its spring not only in the fact that a guest in the house is a source of inspiration, that he leaves behind him the influences of his individuality, that the scripture enjoins hospitality on the ground that we may be entertaining angels unawares, but also in the truth and obligation of brotherhood. Emerson, in his essay on "Friendship," says: "We are holden to men by every sort of tie, by blood, by pride, by fear, by hope, by lucre, by lust, by hate, by admiration, by every circumstance and badge and trifle, but we can scarce believe that so much character can subsist in another as to draw us by love. Can another be so blessed and we so pure that we can offer him tenderness?" Yet this is the very thing men need. When they come on voyages of discovery in our neighborhood they do not relish a flight of poisoned arrows, but they seek the gold and silver of our hearts. In some directions mankind is not slow to recognize and act upon this fact. The sick are visited, the dead are buried, the orphan is housed. In these matters benevolence lies in actions, not in feelings and sentiments. Are we aware that the possession of the capacity of hospitality carries with it an obligation of use? Many are not unlike Rebecca's Aunt Miranda. The child had been sent to represent the family at a missionary meeting in the church. During the session the speaker offered to remain in the town for two days and tell more of the Lord's work if entertainment could be provided. "A pall of silence," says the evidently observing and well-informed author of "Rebecca," "set- SHARP-SHOOTING The best part of any education is to learn how to study. Popularity will soon run away from the man who chases it. The man who studies himself will not pick flaws in other people. Printing scatters intelligence. Reading and thinking gather it up. He will never get very fat who is content with the applause of a village. Some people are like a mule. They don't know when they are well treated —N. O. Picayuna. tled over the assembly. There was some cogent reason why every sister there was disinclined for company." The little girl could not withstand the insult of that silence and therefore invited the missionary with his wife and children to the "brick house." But when she got home and imparted the news that company would be at the house within two hours, to stay all night and the next day, she met this rebuke from her Aunt Miranda: "Explain, if you can, who gave you any authority to invite a passel of strangers to stop here over night, when you know we ain't had any company for 20 years, and don't intend to have any for another 20—or at any rate, while I'm the head of the house." I say that there are a good many people who belong to the same hard-shell club as Aunt Miranda, whose motto seems to be: "Don't do anything for anybody unless you can't help yourself, and when you can't help yourself, do just as little as you can." It is a sad commentary upon the deficiency of the Christian people in our churches in respect to hospitality, says Frank E. R. Miller, in Baptist Standard, to know that a commercial traveler who visits a given circuit of towns, each town on an average of two Sundays in a year and a half, and makes himself known to his brethren, teaching in Sunday school, leading an occasional young people's meeting, never in the course of 12 years has had an invitation to step into a Christian home. Look in the direction of the transient young people in the school and business life of almost any community and it will be found that the same outrageous neglect obtains. Who is not acquainted with a substantial two-story dwelling, planted firmly and attractively on a little natural terrace that fronts a fine residence street in his town? Neatly kept its outbuildings screened from view by a stone wall or a painted fence, it meets the approval of one's eye and inflames his pride in the town of which it is an ornament. But one day when the sight-seeing stranger asks, "Whose house is that?" the resident is astonished to find that he has little more to say than, "Why, that—that house over yonder—that's old Scroogeey's place." For he remembers that he have never been invited to step within its doors, that he has never seen its curtains up at night and a cheerful light within, that he has never heard of a generous feast being spread upon its board or a visitor being conducted to its guest chamber from one year's end to another. Somehow he is sorry that the stranger ever saw that house at all. Turning to the sight-seer he says: "But, have you seen Mr. Greathey's cottage? It isn't much of a house architecturally; but, sir, I tell you it's a fine place to visit." Is the reader sure that Scroogeley is a non-professor of religion and that Greatheart is a deacon in the church? Where is the pastor who does not sigh for householders who are given to the cultivation of the neglected virtue of hospitality? THOUGHT FOR THE QUIET HOUR Self-consciousness is self-immolation. —United Presbyterian. The men who are surest of God dominate the race and lead it farthest toward the Heavenly heights. “There is nothing so surely smooths the rough places in the pathway of duty and lines the clouds that will at times hang over it as a heart active in the interests of others.” It has always appeared to those who have come nearest to Christ that in discovering man to himself, in awakening with him the consciousness of a need of a Redeemer, he at the same moment declares his own obligation to supply the answer to that need in the bearing of sin.—R. J. Campbell. When our ambition has cooled, and we are satisfied with things as they are, men will expect nothing more of us. They see that we have laid down our arms and have gone to the rear. There is nothing before us but a grave. —United F. byterian. Religion comes through men to make man perfect. Since it does not come to man as already perfect, it falls necessarily under the law of human progress. You cannot create a perfect moral character. A perfect physical creature may be created, but a perfect moral character is incapable of creation. He must act, he must be disciplined, he must be taught, he is made perfect by the things which he suffers. —A. M. Fairbairn. Renewed for the Fight. A naturalist in South America watched the fierce fight between a curious little creature and a snake. He noted that every few minutes the little animal swiftly ran away as if defeated, nibbled at a plantain leaf, and then hastened back into the arena, and in a short time had conquered its vigilant foe. The reason was that the plantain leaf counteracted the virus, and so the fight could be renewed, and the conquest was assured "Here," once said Frances E. Willard "is a hint for us; the serpent selfishness fights us with tireless fang, but the plantain leaf of prayer takes the poison from the wound, and is always close at bane; for all of God's best gifts, even Christ himself, are to be had just for the asking.—Forward." MINES AND MINING. Gold-bearing quartz has been found in Ceylon, but it remains to be seen whether it is present in sufficient quantity to be commercially successful.

Of the many extraordinary drinks regularly consumed, the blood of live horses may perhaps be considered the most so. Marco Polo and Carpini were the first to tell the world of the Tartar practice of opening the veins in horses' necks, taking a drink and closing the wound again. As far as can be seen, this has been the practice from time immemorial. There is a wine habitually consumed in China which is made from the flesh of lambs reduced to paste with milk, or bruised into pulp with rice, and then fermented. It is extremely stimulating to the physical organism. The Laplanders drink a great deal of smoked snow-water, and one of the national drinks of the Tonquines is arrack flavored with chicken's blood. The list would scarcely be complete without mention of absinthe, which may be called the national spirituous drink of France. It is a horrible compound of alcohol, anise, coriander, fennel, wormwood, indigo and sulphate of copper. It is strong, nasty and a moral and physical poison.-N. Y. Home Journal. Up-Country. People who have the good sense to live in the country overnight and the good fortune to catch trains back to the city in the morning will appreciate the philosophic remark of the conductor of a certain western "local." There was but one train running on the branch, and the service was consequently of the "up and back" order. A number of people bound for the southern terminus of the road happened one day to reach a small station half-way up just as the train passed on its northern trip. The conductor looked them over. "All goin' down to L——?" he inquired. The travelers replied that they trusted to do so eventually. "Well," said the conductor, "you'd better all get on now, and then mebwe we can skip this station on the way back."—Youth's Companion. Took Two in the Wagon. The drunk and disorderly exhibited a determination to smear the arresting cop's nose all over the center of his face, whereupon the cop visited upon him one swift, fight-squeiling whack with his club. Then he dragged the drunk and disorderly to a hurry box. The usual gang assembled around to wait for the arrival of the wagon. "Went away, yours ducks," said the cop. "Did none o' youse ever have skates on yerse'ves?" "Yes, but not club skates," said a long, low, rakish individual in the throng, and when the wagon drove up he, too, went along with it.—Washington Post. Proper Quantity of Food. Dr. Pavy, one of the most eminent authorities upon diet, says that the average man in a state of absolute rest can live on 16 ounces of food a day, a man doing ordinary light work can live on 25 ounces, and a man doing laborious work needs from 26 to 30 ounces. This is food absolutely free from water, and it must be remembered that everything we eat contains more or less water, so that from 48 to 60 ounces of ordinary food are necessary according to the work in which a man is engaged.—N.

Fibroid Tumors Cured. A distressing case of Fibroid Tumor, which baffled the skill of Boston doctors. Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, Mass., in the following letter tells how she was cured, after everything else failed, by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I have been under Boston doctors' treatment for a long time without any relief. They tell me I have a fibroid tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends up my spine. I have bearing-down pains both back and front. My abdomen is swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. My appetite is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for any length of time. "The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book accurately describe my case, so I write to you for advice."—(Signed) Mrs. E. F. HAYES, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass.

"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—Sometime ago I wrote to you describing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed all your directions carefully, and to-day I am a well woman. "The use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound entirely expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk now." W.

Reed's wit and wisdom would fill a large volume, and a larger volume could have shaped his dig not say, but which have been created in the late volume or the other, says Youth's Companion, belongs a story which comes from California, and which has probably not been printed before. When Mr. Reed was in California he visited the dark observation to Mount Hammam. It was a wonderful November, and gold and the bloom of flowers. Mr. Reed looked down at the gorgeous landscape 4,000 feet below, and turned to one of his hosts, he said. Colman, this looks too much like a special display got up in honor of the occasion. Tell me what a typical winter day in California is really like." The Californian thought at once of a day in February, so warm that after a morning bath he had lain in a hammock outdoors, smelled the roses on the trellis, and listened to the meadow-lark among the almond blooms. He began to describe it eloquently: "Thirteen years ago, on February 22, I took a bath." He paused to arrange his account of the roses and the meadow-lark. Mr. Reed broke the "Well colonel," he said, in admiration, "you do know something about cleanliness out here, don't you?" Worrying the Landlord Clarinda-You can't keep a dog in your new flat?

Doan's Kidney Pills Brought Strength and Health to the Sufferer, Making Him Feel Twenty-Five Years Younger. J. B. Corten, farmer and lumberman, of Deppe, N.

CORTON. pounds of weight from the ground, the pair was so severe. This was my condition when I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. They quickly relieved me and now I am never troubled as I was. My back is strong and I can walk or ride a long distance and feel just as strong as I did twenty-five years ago. I think so much of Doan's Kidney Pills that I have given a supply of the remedy to some of my neighbors and they have also found good results.
