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. "I know of the br in many articles and carrying everything civil war he came 40 7 C.P. WALBRIDGE Republican Candidate for Governor of Missouri. A vote for Walbridge is a vote for political honor. Let the republicans line up on Roosevelt, Fairbanks, Walbridge, McKinley and the entire ticket, and victory will be ours. The Negro that can vote against Roosevelt and Walbridge is not honest to his wife, mother, sister, nor to his race. The republican party meets live issues, the democratic party dodges them. Walbridge represents the party of principles. The republicans of the state should put forth every effort to elect Hon. C. F. Walbridge, with the entire republican ticket. C. P. Walbridge represents the principle of the republican party, and he will be elected if the republicans do their full duty. A Negro man that will vote against C. P. Walbridge must accept the treatment of the governor of Mississippi—A POLITICAL BAMBOOZLER. --- Any man who says that he is or has been a republican, and votes against Walbridge, is a political crank, and ought to be read out of the party. We must look for the interest of the Negro, that is the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution. Roosevelt and Walbridge represent these principles that give dignity to Negro manhood. Lincoln Institute Notes Lincoln Institute opened Tuesday with the largest enrollment in its history. The enrollment last year was four hundred, and President Allen expects to make it five hundred. The summer school had an enrollment of sixty-eight and a very fine corps of teachers. Lincoln Institute is better advertised to-day than ever, and some of the best teachers in the country are in touch with the work. The buildings and grounds are in excellent condition, and everything points to a very successful year. The central heating plant is nearly ready, and all the buildings will be heated from the same boilers. The teaching force numbers twenty. Dr. J. R. A. Crossland It is reported that Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, of St. Joseph, was shot by a man who said that Crossland had formed an attachment for his wife. It is a pity that his head was not shot off. The doctor has a liking for anybody's wife but his own. Now, will you pay that $4 subscription bill? At Rest. Rev. James Maderson, the former pastor of St. Peter's church, died last Thursday. Rev.

LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1904. At Last He Came Out. For the last two months the Freedman Journal has had very little to say about the republican ticket. We have been thinking that there was something wrong—or in other words, there was a Nigger in the wood pile. Last Tuesday, in a meeting in St. Paul chapel, many speeches were made by men who constituted a part of the old guard, better known as the true republicans. These speeches were all complimentary to the republican party and our next president, Theodore Roosevelt. At the conclusion of the several speeches our old friend and Brother George L. Knox, saw fit to give vent to his views and charge that the council were not honest in their actions. Mr. Knox spoke at some length on a vaccinating line until several ladies and gentlemen asked the Palladium man what was his position in his talk. I answered that it was bordering on insanity or democracy. True to our prediction in due time he showed his true colors, and came out in the light, so plain that all saw it, when he said that we should vote for the best man regardless of his politics. But the old guard was on duty, namely, James L. Lewis, of New Orleans; Lewison Nelson Crews, of Kansas City, Dr. D. P. Roberts, pastor of St. Paul's chapel, and a hundred others were ready to defend the republican party and its learer, Theodore Roosevelt. George L. Knox said that Lincoln, Grant Morton, Garfield, McKinley and other good republicans were gone, and we must make other friends. At this sally Dr.D. P. Roberts and Hon. James Lewis said, although they are dead, but their spirits like that great and good man's spirit, John Brown, are marching on, and we have a Theodore Roosevelt who declares that he will not shut the door of hope against the Negro. At this Brother Knox looked as if he could go through a gritter note. Some little brown man rose and tried to explain for Mr. Knox, but he utterly failed. We must stand for the principles of the republican party. On Thursday when the council met President Stewart ask that Mr. Knox be allowed to explain, as he thought that he was misunderstood last night (Wednesday). After about 20 minutes' talk he failed to convince any one that he was misunderstood. He advised that we as Negroes should vote for the best man, let him be democratic or republican. t is no use to try to deny his true meaning. A Learned Man. We had the extreme pleasure of meeting Prof. W. Welch, of Little Rock, Ark. Prof. Welch at once impressed us that he was a man above the average class. Such men we like to come in contact with. He is principal of the 21st Street school and president of the State Teachers' association of Arkansas. Perhaps he will call to remembrance when a discussion of astronomy theology and infidleness were talked of by himself and three other men. We would be pleased to hear from Prof. W. Welch. NOTICE We received a chart from Mr. Mitchell, of Memphis, Tenn., as in a very neat way ask to be remembered. We can only remember them as a body of young and old men who are trying to detract a vote from our President Theodore Roosevelt your chart is good so far as it goes, but we the edits and manager of the St. Louis Palladium can not give aid to anyone that is aiding and abetting democratic party.

Bishop of Russell, Ark., on the occasion of inturing the flag on the national holiday At the first light of day over the land that we love We see the blue sky of the heavens above, As day succeeds night it brings to our land The beautiful folds of the Red, White and Blue. We cast our eyes upwards as the heavens grow light And grow our souls on the glorious sight. There straight from the shaft our flag streams out bold. The Stars and the Stripes wave out fold after fold. As day becomes brighter and increases the light The stars of our flag are now plain to the sight; The blue field with its stars comes plainly to view. Each star a state in our Union so true. Under its folds there is no such a name as carls, lords or noble, all men are the same. Each manman an heir to the throne of our land, Where the brave and the merciful go hand in hand.

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

Carrie Nation No. 2 has appeared in St. Louis in the person of Nellie Wilson, who at this writing occupies free lodgings in the four courts. She is charged with malicious destruction of property. The charge is preferred by John Tobin, proprietor of a saloon. According to Tobin, and the interior at his saloon bears out his statements, Nellie entered the place and created a disturbance. When requested to leave the woman is said to have picked up several empty beer bottles and to have commenced a fusillade, directed against the costly mirror behind the bar and various cut and uncut glasses.

ER, Proprietor Lesson in the International Series for September 11, 1904—"Elijah Taken Up Into Heaven." (Prepared by the "Highway and Byway" Preacher.) (Copyright, 1904, by J. M. Edson.) LESSON TEXT. (2 Kings 2:11; Memory Verses, 9:11) 1. And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into Heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha for Elijah. 2. And Elijah said unto Elisha, Terry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel. 3. And the sons of the prophese that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said to Elisha, and bestowed thou that the Lord will take away thy master from the head today? And he said, Yes, I know it; hold ye your peace. 4. And Elijah said unto him, Ellisa, tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho. 5. And the sons of the prophets that were taken to him. Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head, to-day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. 6. And Elijah unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And the fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and to view afar off; and they two stood by Jordan. 7. And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground. 8. And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Ellisa, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Ellisa said, Ask me to give a double portion of thy肩 he upon me. 10. And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing; nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. 11. And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a charit of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Eiljah went up by a whirlwind into Heaven. THE LESSON INCLUDES the first chapter of 1 Kings, which gives us the last public act of Eiljah. GOLDEN TEXT.—"He was not; for God took him."—Gen. 5:24. TIME—Something over ten years after the events of the last lesson. the events of last week at the Gilgal and PLACE. Ellijah started at Gilgal and traveled with Elisha toward the southeast, through Bethel and Jericho, and then across the Jordan, perhaps to Mount Nebo. Comparing Scripture with Scripture. Testing of Elisha.—As one reads this lesson the question is forced upon us, Did Elijah wish to get away from Elisha? In the light of verse 9 I think we must say "No." The angel of God did not want to get away from Jacob, and yet he said "let me go." He wished to test Jacob, and the testing completed the blessings followed (Gen. 32:24-29). Elijah, knowing of his early departure, would test Elisha and prove his fitness as his successor. Testing is not for the purpose of destroying but to prove fitness for service. Jacob held on and got the blessing. Elisha followed his master and obtained his request. The SyroPhoenician woman is a striking example of persistency obtaining the blessing. Matt. 15:22-28. God tests His children (Heb. 12:6, 7, 11) and the Christian is admonished to rejoice in the testing.—Jas. 1:2-4. Elisha was persistent. He had the qualities of a Paul. Phil. 3:13. He saw the glory of blessing ahead and he was determined to have it at all hazard. This is one of the indispensable qualities in God's servants. If they lack it, they prove unfit for the responsible places in Christ's kingdom. (2) Watchful. No heavy eye ever saw God's glory. No sluggish heart ever felt the exquisite heart beat of the Divine presence. That Elijah was to be taken up into Heaven had in some way been revealed to Elisha and the students at the schools of the prophets at Gilgal, Bethel and Jericho, vs. 3, 5. Elijah was determined to behold that glorious sight. The eye of faith was in the watch tower, and the natural eye, obedient to the soul yearning, was faithfully keeping Elijah in view. Gilgal is left behind and Bethel is reached, but nothing can divert the attention of Elisha, nothing can make him tarry behind. Jericho is visited and still Elisha hangs on. The Jordan is reached. If Elijah goes down into its depths, Elisha will follow. Ah, how many Christians are back on the hilltop with the 50 sons of the prophets, when they ought to be following hard after the blessing. (3) Ambitious. "Let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me." True ambition finds its center and object in God. Elisha was ambitious for God as a possession, that he might more effectually serve God during the apostate state of the kingdom. The ambition that makes God its end and aim and purpose is the safe ambition. We are told to "covet the best gifts." 1 Cor. 12:31. The great trouble with Christian people is that they ask and receive not because they ask amiss, that they may consume it upon their lusts. Jas. 4:3. The assurance of Rom. 8:26-27 is blessed encouragement. (4) Triumphant. "Elisha saw it." V. 12. Elisha's intensity of purpose obtained for him the promise. The Christian may always win spiritual triumphs. 2 Cor. 2:4. The amount of spiritual blessing God is willing to give is dependent wholly upon our capacity to receive. We need to pray for larger capacity. "He Was Not; for God Took Him." Dr. G. Campbell Morgan tells of a little child who gave a most exquisite explanation of walking with God. She went home from Sunday school, and the mother said: "Tell me what you learned at school." And she said: "Don't you know, mother, we have been hearing about a man who used to go for walks with God. His name was Enoch. And, mother, one day they went for an extra long walk, and they walked on and on, until God said to Enoch: 'You are a long way from home, you had better come in and stay.' And he went." MISSOURI METHODISTS. Appointments Made at the Columbia Session of the Missouri Conference of the M. E. Church South.

The United Statse now leads the world in the production of salt, furnishing 23 per cent. of the entire supply. Great Britain is second, Germany third and France fourth. The world's total production is 12,000,000 short tons. Recent figures shows that the production of salt in this country exceeds 20,000,000 barrels, which is nearly four times as much as it was 20 years ago. Of this total more than 2,000,000 barrels is table and dairy salt, and more than 7,000,000 barrels common salt. The states producing the greatest amount of salt are Michigan and New York each with more than 7,000,000 barrels annually, and Kansas and Ohio, with about 2,000,000 and 1,000,000 barrels respectively, followed by California, Utah and West Virginia. The output in other states is comparatively small. BUDGET OF MAXIMS Rather than say nothing, men are content to speak ill of themselves. A proud man can never be a loser; no, not even when he renounces his pride. It is much less for a man's honor to distrust his friends than to be deceived by them. Few people have the wisdom to like reproofs that would do them good better than praises that do them hurt. It is with true love, as with ghosts and apparitions, a thing that everybody talks of and scarce anybody hats seen. Mcals at all Hours 25 Cents. Short Orders.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular pubi- cation. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) Morebona fine subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper pub- lished in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The People's Choice for President. 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 woes 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 came through that party, and to-day all of our protection comes from that party. So we honor the persons that permitted us to enjoy life and liberty. MISSOURI REPUBLICANS. The Campaign Will Be Pushed Vigorously- Walbridge and McKinley to Make a Thorough Canvas St. Louis, Sept. 10.—Announcement has been made of the following engagements for the speakers to be sent out by the republican state central committee, the etitineraries having been arranged by Charles D. Morris, secretary in charge of the speakers' bureau: John E. Swanger, of Milan, nominee for secretary of state, Lowry City, on September 17, at the old soldiers' picnic and reunion; Senator John C. McKinley, of Unionville, nominee for lieutenant-governor, Tarkio, on September 16, at the political day of the Atchison county carnival; Gen. George H. Shields, at Hale, on September 17, at the opening of the campaign in Carroll county. Several days ago announcement was made that speeches would be made at Molely, on September 14, by Cyrus P. Walbridge, Herbert S. Hadley and George H. Shields. Secretary Morris stated that he has changed the meeting to Huntsville, the seat of Randolph county. In the afternoon the speakers will be heard at Paris. Mr. Walbridge will make a thorough canvass of the state. He is in good health and voice, and no matter how large the crowd every one can hear Mr. Walbridge. Senator McKinley has laid aside everything to enter the campaign. He is a splendid speaker, has a powerful physique, and will be one of the most vigorous campaigners Missouri ever had. A poll is being taken by the republicans of St. Louis. Wards completed give excellent returns. Republicans are active and in earnest, and it is believed among conservative ones that the republican majority in St. Louis in November will exceed that in 1896. There are many visitors at republican state headquarters. Senator McKinley was in the city Wednesday, and during the morning he was in conference with Cyrus P. Walbridge, Herbert S. Hadley, John E. Swanger and Secretary C. D. Morris. This list of the state candidates includes all of them who are to make speeches throughout the campaign. Assignments will be made by Mr. Morris so that every congressional district in the state will be equally represented in the number of speeches made by the candidates. An evidence of the interest taken by many democrats of Missouri in the coming campaign is found in the large number of them who have written Chairman T. K. Niedringhaus of their intention of supporting the republican ticket, both national and state. Some have called on the chairman, and have volunteered their services in the campaign. One of the democrats taking this view is John M. Barton, of 4613A East avenue, who formerly lived in Lincoln county and was treasurer of the county for two terms, from 1888 to 1892. He was also cashier of the Ellsberg bank, and organized the bank of Winfield, being cashier of that institution for four years. Mr. Barton is one of the most prominent democrats of northeast Missouri. He numbers among his friends all prominent business men of that section of the state. He says: "As for the democratic nominees in Missouri, I shall also oppose Folk and the remainder of the ticket, because he does not embody the principles which he started out to accomplish, having fallen into the clutches of the machine on the journey. Every patriotic democrat in Missouri knows well that there have been things going on in the management of state fiscal affairs which we neither understood nor approved of. Trafficking in spoils is not a democratic principle, and the best way to remedy the evil is to turn them out. The only way to turn them out is to turn them out. That is the salvation of the democracy of Missouri. Defeat of the party ticket this year means its election in 1908. "If Folk and the ticket are elected in November, I believe that the republicans will go into power in 1908, and will retain their control of the state for the same length of time that the democrats have. Folk is too weak to accomplish the results which are necessary in the state. The way to accomplish it is by natural means. Place the government in other hands, so that the party meanwhile can cleanse itself. It is surely impossible to accomplish this by allowing a supposed boodle reformer to consolidate with the same element which he has been decrying." Continuing, Mr. Barton declared that he would urge all of his friends to support the republican ticket, both national and state. "What converts I make," Mr. Barton continued, "I expect to make as a democrat—a Bryan democrat. During the entire campaign I intend doing all I can for Roosevelt and Walbridge, as against Parker and Folk." THE TICKET. 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.

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, in. 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.

Warning 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 palms to let it be known that they stand strictly on the Negro side of the fence.—From Hot Springs (Ark.) Weekly Echo. 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.

SAUNDERS, Managers CHARLEY HARRIS, Proprietor WHITE MEN LIVING WITH COLORED WOMEN The regular July term of the criminal court convened in this city, July 4, at which time Judge Anderson touched upon a subject that is of vital importance to the morals of both races. We clip a report of what he said upon this subject from the Vicksburg evening Post of July 4 which is as follows: "He laid special stress upon white men living with colored women, and said he thought that the present conditions of the Colored people, refusing to ride on the street cars, was due to the fact that the Colored people demanded social equality and social recognition. The Colored people rode on the regular trains on the railroads, in separate cars, and made no protest. On the street cars, they could ride on the same cars as the white people, only on a separate part of the car. He said the railroad company had no part in making of the law, and had done nothing to justify the Colored people's action. In his opinion the action of the Colored people was engendered and prompted by the action of the white men seeking the companionship of the Colored women." In reply to Judge Anderson's instructions we will say that we can not speak for that class of debased negro women who have deserted their race; but we can say that the better class of Colored men and women neither desire or demand social relations with the whites. They have never cared anything about sitting on the same seats with white people on the street cars. On the other hand, in getting on the cars they have almost invariably selected seats which were not occupied by white people. Their refusal to ride on the street cars is due to the fact that they all believe that there was no necessity for the Jim Crow law, and that it was simply passed to degrade and humiliate the Negro as a race. In our opinion but a very small number of Negro women are the mistresses of white men, now-a-days. That class of women not only do not control the actions of the race in any respect, but are held as being beneath the notice of a dog. A Negro woman at this late day, who would allow a white man, with his deceitful smiles and false kindness, to beguile her into a life of shame is not worth her room in hell.-Vicksburg Light. American Salt. The United Statse now leads the world in the production of salt, furnishing 23 per cent. of the entire supply. Great Britain is second, Germany third and France fourth. The world's total production is 12,000,000 short tons. Recent figures shows that the production of salt in this country exceeds 20,000,000 barrels, which is nearly four times as much as it was 20 years ago. Of this total more than 2,000,000 barrels is table and dairy salt, and more than 7,000,000 barrels common salt. The states producing the greatest amount of salt are Michigan and New York each with more than 7,000,000 barrels annually, and Kansas and Ohio, with about 2,000,000 and 1,000,000 barrels respectively, followed by California, Utah and West Virginia. The output in other states is comparatively small. NEW DOUGLASS PALM GARDEN. 2106 Walnut Street. This beautiful palm garden has now opened its doors to the public.

THEY PAID THEIR RESPECTS Greetings Were Voiced by Charles W. Knapp, Editor of the St. Louis Republic, to Which Judge Parker Responded. Esopus, N. Y., Sept. 9.—Editors of upward of 200 democratic newspapers, representing various parts of the country, came to Rosemount to visit Judge Parker. They were received by the candidate, and the visit was made the occasion of the first political speech he has made in many years, barring only that in which, on August 10, he accepted the nomination. Insert Esopus—Following before It was a gay party which made the trip from New York to Rosemount. The democratic editors and their friends, to the number of 655, were in the mood for a holiday. Plans of campaign in various sections of the country were discussed generally. When Rosemount was reached a line was formed to march to Judge Parker's house. Josephus Daniels, of Raleigh, N. C. chairman of the committee on arrangements; Charles W. Knapp, of St. Louis, and Col. John I. Martin, sergeant-at-arms of the national committee, were in charge. Led by the band, the delegation marched to Rosemount, where Mr. Daniels spoke briefly, saying: "There are 5,100 newspapers in the United States supporting Parker and Davis. Commissioned by many of them by letter or telegram nearly one-tenth of the whole number have come in person to this democratic mecca to convey assurances of earnest and enthusiastic support. I have the pleasure and distinguished honor of presenting Charles W. Knapp, of the St. Louis Republic, who will voice the sentiments of the entire independent and democratic press of America." The greeting of the editors to the candidate was delivered by Charles W. Knapp, editor of the St. Louis Republic, Mr. Knapp, said in part: Charles W. Knapp's Speech. "Judge Parker—We bring you greeting from the democratic and independent press of the United States. Sharing your ardent devotion to these eternal principles of truth and justice which bear the name democracy, we have come to touch the presence register our pledges of loyal fealty to the great work of governmental reform in which we expect to follow him to a glorious victory next November, and to the great work of independence, sir, we have already been stimulated to new vigor and aggressiveness. We come to tell you by word and by action of the enthusiasm that inspires our work and confidence with which we have successful fruition in the very near future. "We are of one mind in echoing your own forcible denunciations of the trinity of oppressions from which the American people suffer so many years of poverty, duty, but the enduring responsibilities of a deep-seated conviction unite both you and we in unaltering opposition to imperialism and to the oppression of the afflicted. Recognizing these evil asils like reckless of the general public welfare in order that the private interests of the favored few may be the more effectively served, we conceive that the public should be of democracy and the character of its nominee for the presidency alike assure government by law and not according to individual caprice assure regulation of the state and the constitution and not by strenuous force. "We come to give you visible token of that harmony, to testify that we are armed with you that we are solidly united in the conviction that our platform and our candidate carry the same message, imperishable virtues of right and wisdom, "We thank you particularly", Judge Parker, for the manly declaration that you will not be the second person you are elected president. We welcome in this avowal the introduction of a new and vital issue in American politics, and the fight for justice and support. It supplements and completes that vigorous manifestation of your individuality which the telegram to the St. Louis convention so welcomes. "We rejoice that the principles and policies of democracy have found so worthy an exponent in 1994, because we have made our movement must present to the people the idea and the man for the hour. We gave both and we are proud of the people who so would rather be right than be president. "We mean that he shall be president because he is right. "We have said a distinguished writer, 'and you reap a destiny.' We shall prove the truth of that apothegm. The democratic party planted Alton B. Park at St. Louis and it will reap the wisdom of Judge Parker, responding, said in part: Judge Parker's Speech. "It is, indeed, a great pleasure to welcome to Rosemount this body of representatives of the great American press, one of the mighty forces in the upbuilding and strengthening of a sturdy American citizenship. You have been in conference to the end that you have made it possible to work as possible, Organized effort and concerted action must always increase the effectiveness of the common endeavor of many hands. "The leaders who have made a thoroughfare through history down the road, who have marched with giant strides, have all been men who, though unmoved by hasty expression of the hurried judgment of the people, were not so unmoved by the knowledge of what the deliberate and mature judgment of the people would be. So the great papers are those which anticipate the careful judgment of the majority, the great papers are those which anticipate the people may be implicitly relied on to decide all questions with unerring and exact justice when all the evidence is A Kentucky Tragedy.

He was accustomed to sleeping in the office. in and deliberation had, and those who would hold place as leaders of the people must be so thoroughly American, that you must be sure of the pulses of the people as to discern the course public opinion will take. Though the instant judgment of the people may be often at fault, the right and the wrong part of leadership is to know the right, and to honestly, patriotically, fearlessly and zealously advocate the right, discern and lead the unhurried and well-considered judgment of the people of the country, so long will its power grow mightily and so long will it hold its place in the crowd. It will be a vigorous march of national progress. To the upbuilding of the power of the press and to the best use of that power, you have devoted yourself to the work of impart to be passed upon by the people in November, questions that it will be your duty, and, therefore, I am sure, your pleasure as well, to present housework, particularly that people will understand them.

The party issue unified to-day as the party vital article of the which can reasonably enter into the pending canvass. "Our adversaries are intrenched, in full possession of every department of the government, and it is a mistaken policy that would drive away voters who would help to oust them. The cause can not be advanced by attacks on other parties in the party, but the had disinformation is but who are now working with us, for a common result. "All men who have attained any degree of prominence have their friends, and the exercise of ordination will enable them who are willing and anxious to assist. The coming election is not to be determined by the September election, where local issues and candidates even are grievously handicapped, but the result in Vermont, on Tuesday, admonishes us—and there can be no more important co-operation than harmonious co-operation of all and the elimination of personal, factional and unimportant differences involving the master of principle, in order to success." The speaking was over, Judge Parker and the members of his family greeted all the guests at an informal reception held on the veranda. The entire delegation and other visitors then proceeded to the boat, where buncheon was served. A WORLD'S FAIR INCIDENT Kentucky National Guardsmen Doll Their Hats in Admiration of Philippine Scouts' Drill. St. Louis, Sept. 9.—A regiment of the Kentucky national guard had just finished dress parade on the Plaza of St. Louis at the World's fair Wednesday evening when the Philippine scouts battalion marched on the plaza, every man of the command looking as trim as though he had just come out of a fashion factory, in sharp contrast to the dirty, slouchly-worn khalki uniforms and campaign hats of the Kentuckians. The little brown men drilled superbly, every move of foot or hand being made with the precision born of pride in work well done. When the butts of their rifles came to the ground it was as if one piece only struck. It was, however, when they went through four sets of Butts' calisthenic manual that they showed the perfection of their training. Every move was made with an easy grace and precision that could only be likened to clockwork, and the thousands of people who lined every side of the plaza went fairly wild with enthusiasm, and many of the Kentucky guardsmen were heard to say that it was worth making the trip to St. Louis just to see such a perfect drill. The most sincere compliment came when the battalion marched off the plaza. They had to march past the lined-up Kentuckians, who, every man of them, doffed his hat to the little brown men who had given them such an interesting object lesson. THE "YELLOW DOG" CLOSED. The East St. Louis Saloon Which Has Acquired a Reputation For Murders. St. Louis, Sept. 9.—The "Yellow Dog" saloon, in East St. Louis, has been closed by Sheriff G. H. Thompson. The place has borne a bad reputation for more than twenty years. It is alleged that during that period seven murders have been committed at or near there. The killing of two men by Kane, Monday night, is supposed to have caused the sheriff to issue the closing order. The murder of Owen Obey, of Indianapolis, Ind., occurred there seven years ago. Obey's body was thrown into the weeds and it lay there for over three months before it was found. Four men from Brooklyn, formerly owners of the "Yellow Dog" saloon, were sent to the penitentiary for the crime.

In a lazarette of Frioul, near Marseilles, there is a collection of instruments formerly employed as part of the equipment of quarantine when persons suffering from or suspected of plague were isolated there. Among these, says the British Medical Journal, are gigantic cavalry sabers and pikes which were used to open buboes at a safe distance, and long silver rods, by means of which the last sacraments were given to the dying. There is a formidable-looking apparatus which might be taken for an instrument of torture used by the holy inquisition; this is a gigantic pair of pincers, in shape resembling the claws of a lobster, known as the corpse tongs; with these the bodies of those who died of the plague were consigned to the waters of the Mediterranean. The depressing effect of these ghastly realies is somewhat mitigated by others of a less funereal kind. Among these is the sedan chair of the duchess of Angouleme, who in 1820 was in quarantine at Frioul on her return from Naples. Andre House a Soap Factory. Andre House a Soap Factory. The 1776 stone house at Tappan, N. Y., where Maj. Andre was imprisoned until his execution is to be turned into a soap factory. For a couple of years past the 1776 house has been used as a hotel, and thousands of people have visited it, but recently the proprietor, Charles A. Pike, had his license revoked. Now he has leased the property to New Yorkers, who intend to make soap by a new process on the grounds east of the house, and the building will be used for their offices. War Sometimes Profitable. War Sometimes Profitable. The adage that "to the victors belong the spoils," works very well with nations who have been successful in war. In her war with China, Japan had only 80,000 men engaged, and the war altogether cost her the comparative trifle of $20,000,000. China had to pay her afterward the nice little sum of $180,000,000, leaving a clear profit of $155,000,000, which, reckoning the time the war lasted, worked out a profit of $50 per Jap a week—Army and Navy Journal.

BUILDING FOOD To Bring the Babies Around. When a little human machine (or a large one) goes wrong, nothing is so important as the selection of food which will always bring it around again. "My little baby boy fifteen months old had pneumonia, then came brain fever, and no sooner had he got over these than he began to cut teeth and, being so weak, he was frequently thrown into convulsions," says a Colorado mother. "I decided a change might help, so took him to Kansas City for a visit. When we got there he was so very weak when he would cry he would sink away and seemed like he would die. "When I reached my sister's home she said immediately that we must feed him Grape-Nuts and, although I had never used the food, we got some and for a few days gave him just the juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got stronger so quickly we were soon feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and in a wonderfully short time he fattened right up and became strong and well. "That showed me something worth knowing and, when later on my girl came, I raised her on Grape-Nuts and she is a strong, healthy baby and has been. You will see from the little photograph I send you what a strong, chubby youngster the boy is now, but he didn't look anything like that before we found this nourishing food. Grape-Nuts nourished him back to strength when he was so weak he couldn't keep any other food on his stomach." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

DONNELLY ENDS BUTCHERS' STRIKE President of Butchers' Union Says the Men Have Lost. 53,000 PERSONS INVOLVED The Men Will Now Return to Work Under the Conditions That Ex- isted Before the Strike- Wage Loss Was $5,000,000. Chicago, Sept. 9.—The strike of the butcher workmen, which has demoralized the meat packing industry throughout the country for the last two months, was officially declared off Thursday night by President Michael J. Donnelly of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of America. Thursday morning Mr. Donnelley telegraphed the members of the national executive committee, asking their consent to an announcement of an end of the struggle, and Thursday night having received favorable answers from all, he declared that the strike of the members of his organization would end at midnight. Favored Continuing the Strike. The strike of the members of the affiliated unions at the stock yards, who quit work in sympathy with the butchers, will officially be called off Friday morning at a meeting of the conference board of the Allied Trades. This was decided upon at a meeting of the central body of the Allied Trades, held Thursday night. The general body was at first in favor of continuing the strike, but Mr. Donnelly, who was present, announced that the men were defeated, and that in order to save his union from being entirely disrupted, he would order his men to return to work Friday morning, no matter what course might be taken by other unions. As the other unions had no grievance, but had gone on strike to aid the butchers, there was nothing left for them to follow the lead of Mr. Donnelly, and they, too, decided to call off the strike, as far as they were concerned. When the packers were notified that it had been decided to end the strike, they announced that they would give places, as far as possible, to the skilled men, but it was stated at the same time that many of these men would be unable to secure their old places, as in many cases the work was being performed in a satisfactory manner by men who had been secured since the commencement of the strike. It is expected that the majority of the unskilled men will be unable to secure their places again. It was the question of a wage scale for this class of men that brought about the strike, the packers refusing to sign an agreement with any class other than skilled workmen. Cost the Strikers $5,000,000. During the strike, approximately 53,000 persons have been involved in the struggle, which is estimated to have cost the men about $5,000,000 in wages, as against an estimated loss of $7,500,000 to the packers in loss of business, and in increased expenses. The greatest number of men idle in Chicago during the strike was 26,600, and the total in the country outside of this city is estimated to be about the same. The original cause of the strike was a demand by the Butchers' union that the packers pay to the unskilled workmen $18\%$ cents an hour. The packers refused to sign an agreement, but offered to arbitrate the question. This was accepted, the strikers agreeing to return to work, pending the decision of the arbitrators. The men, however, were dissatisfied with the manner in which they were being put to work, and declared they would not return until all of the men were given their old places in one day's time. The packers declaring that this was physically impossible, the men went on strike for the second time. The men now return to work under the conditions that existed before the strike.

His home was at Ichichview, Mo. REPUBLICANS WIN IN VERMONT STATE Elect Entire State Ticket and Maintain Control of Legislature. Late Returns Indicate That the Republicans Carried the State by About Thirty Thousand Plurality. White River Junction, Vt., Sept. 7.—Vermont Tuesday elected a governor and other state officers, two members of congress, thirty state senators and one representative from each city and town. As was expected, the republicans were generally victorious, electing the entire ticket and maintaining control of the legislature by the usual large majority. The day passed without special incident. The weather was fine and the vote was normal for a presidential year. The state officers elected are: Governor, Charles J. Bell, Welden. Lieutenant-Governor, Charles H. Stearns. Treasurer, John L. Bacon Secretary of State, Frederick G. Flectwood. Auditor of Accounts, Horace A. Graham. David J. Foster of Burlington was elected to congress from the first district and Kittredge Haskins of Brattleboro from the second district. The complexion of the legislature was practically unchanged. This indicated that Senator Redfield Proctor will be re-elected. The campaign was hard fought by both of the leading parties, the democrats bending their efforts to a reduction of the republican majority of 31,000 given to Wm. Stickney for governor in 1900. Returns received indicate that the republicans elected the head of their ticket by a plurality equal to, if not greater than that returned for Stickney. Election returns from 200 out of the 246 cities and towns of the state give Bell, republican 38,860; Porter democrat 12,893. The same places in 1900 gave Stickeny, republican 38,949; Senter, democrat, 13,556. These figures show a light falling off in the vote of both parties and indicate the election of Bell by about 32,000 plurality. TEN KILLED IN A WRECK Day Coach and Diner of Wabash Trail Roll Down Embankment Near Warrenton, Mo. Warrenton, Mo., Sept. 7.—One of the most serious of wrecks occurred near here Tuesday on the Wabash, in which ten persons were killed almost instantly, and 51 passengers were more or less severely injured. When the St. Paul east-bound passenger train No. 20, due here at 12:20, reached a point two miles west of here, the two rear coaches, a diner and a passenger coach, jumped the track, the dining car being thrown to the left of the right of way, and the coach down a steep embankment of 40 feet, hurling the passengers to death and destruction. The awful news of the wreck soon spread and the people of Warrenton turned out en masse to the scene of the disaster. The scene of agony and distress was almost undescribable. Under the debris of the wrecked coaches, passengers were pinioned, plitfully appealing for help, and strewn along the embankment and down in the gulch the dead and injured were lying more than two score in number. Stretchers of every description were improvised, and as fast as the baggage car could be loaded the injured were taken to Warrenton, where three special trains had been summoned, bringing all the physicians 20 miles east and west of here. The work of transporting the dead and injured required several hours. The depot being inadequate in room to shelter all, the court house and private rooms were thrown open, and a score of physicians administered to the wands of the suffering, aided by the citizens. BULLFIGHTERS ARRESTED County Official Obeys Instructions of Attorney-General Crow of Missouri. St. Louis, Sept. 7.—Acting under the express order of Attorney-General Edward C.

The baboons haunt the clumps of caustus scattered through the fields and exhibit much cunning in keeping out of the reach of their human enemies. It is asserted that they have taken note of the fact that women do not carry firearms, and therefore need not be feared. But when a man appears the baboons instantly take to their heels. On this account the farmers have lately devised the plan of dressing in women's apparel when they set out to shoot baboons.—Youth's Companion. The Perspiration Poisonous. The Perspiration Poisonous. From a report made to the Paris Biological society, by M. Arlong, it appears that animal perspiration, when injected under the skin, is poisonous. In experiments made by him, death occurred when the injection was strong enough, generally within three days, but sometimes not for some weeks. The perspiration secreted during arduous muscular toil contains more poison than that secreted during the ordinary circumstances of life. Is not this proof positive of the necessity of frequent bathing of the body? for one's perspiration is as poisonous to his own body as to another's.—Good Health. Just Relieved from Jury Duty.

Mrs. Weisslitz, president of the German Womans' Club of Buffalo, N. Y., after doctoring for two years, was finally cured of her kidney trouble by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless prompt and correct treatment is applied, the weary patient seldom survives. Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham, early in her career, gave careful study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman's ills—Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound—made sure that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was certain to control that dreaded disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in harmony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the only one especially prepared for women. Read What Mrs. Weisslitz Says. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—For two years my life was simply a burden, I suffered so with female troubles, and pains across my back and loins. The doctor told me that I had kidney troubles and prescribed for me. For three months I took his medicines, but grew steadily worse. My husband then advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and brought home a bottle. It is the greatest blessing ever brought to our home. Within three months I was a changed woman. My pain had disappeared, my complexion became clear, my eyes bright, and my entire system in good shape."—MRS. PAULA WEISSLITZ, 176 Seneca St., Buffalo, N. Y. Proof that kidney Trouble can be Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I feel very thankful to you for the good your medicine has done me. I had doctored for years and was steadily growing worse. I had trouble with my kidneys, and two doctors told me I had Bright's disease; also had falling of the womb, and could not walk a block at a time. My back and head ached all the time, and I was so nervous I could not sleep; had hysteria and fainting spells, was tired all the time, had such a pain in my left side that I could hardly stand at times without putting my foot on something. at times without putting my hand up. "I doctored with several good doctors, but they did not help me any. I took, in all, twelve bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, five boxes of Liver Pills, and used three packages of Sanative Wash, and feel like a new woman, can eat and sleep well, do all my own work, and can walk two miles without feeling over tired. The doctors tell me that my kidneys are all right now. I am so happy to be well, and I feel that I owe it all to your medicine."—Mrs. OPAL STRONG, Dalton, Mass.

At a social gathering some time ago, a number of deaf mutes were present. Refreshments were served during the evening, and the guests of the guests a deaf mute gentleman happened to spill a few drops on his wife's skirt. The wife, relates the Philadelphia Public Ledger, is also a deaf mute, and it was evident that she took the mishap in a rather irritable way. She wrinkled up her forehead and at once made a series of remarks, moving her fingers. The husband, looking exceedingly apologetic, made a few motions in return. One of the guests, who had noticed this little by-play, slyly pulled out a bit of paper and penciling something on it, handed it to a friend. This is what the letter read: No matter how badly afflicted, woman can still scold." The friend scribbled in return: "Yes, but in the present case the husband has the average. He doesn't have to lock." Not Quite Cured. Waiter—Roast beef or cured ham, sir? "Bring me some beef. The last cured ham I ordered here was only convalescent."—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Ironical.

LOVING. ‘What a Manila Paper Says Abou! Him and th> Gonstab- ulary Band. . The. Manila Cable News, of February 18, recently received in this city, has the following notice of the presenta- tion 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’ inangural reception and ball on Tues- day evening was the presentation of a handsome gold medal to Finst-Lieut. Walter H. Loving, director of the Con- stabulary band. “The medal was presented as an ex- pression 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 exquiiste design an@ workmanship. It consists of a pin with the words “Mugical Director” in- soribed across the face, and surmount- ed by an elk’s head, and a disk of solid gold of the size of a silver dol- Jar 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 Per- formance, Manila, November 16, 1903.’ On the reverse side of the disk is in- scribed: Presented to First Lieuten- ant Walter H. Loving, Constabulary Band, by Manila Lodge, 761, B. P. O. BY “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 dis- tinguished services to the lodge on sev- eral occasions, and knowing that the inaugural was coming on this date, it had been decided to then make it the occasion of the presentation. “Lieat. Loving was asked to step to the front, and in his characteristic manner, Mr. Reiser made the presenta- tion speech. When Lieut. Loving had recovered from his, surprise, he said: ‘Friends of Manila Lodge—If I pos- sesessed the eloquence of an orator, or even the vocabulary of the exalted rujer, 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 memora- ble of my entire life; and as Iam to be present at the coming exposition in St. Louis, I shall consider that you have started me upon my journey with @ hope that I may return with this un- tarnished and increased three-fold. I thank you.’ : “Lieut. Loving left Manila March 15, on the Sheridan, in charge of his ag- gregation of 8) trained Filipino mu- sicians. This band is the represez.ca- tive musical organization of the Phil- ippine 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 {ts organization, to the delight of the thousands of the eastern capital who delight in good mnsic “While playing all the native Fil- ipino airs, the Constabulary band fa- ors the production of all classes of the best modern music.

DAVIS OPPOSES EDUCATION OF NEGROES. Texarkana, Ark., Aug. 30.—Gov. Jef Davis spoke to a very large audience, a majority of them being farmers from the surrounding country, at the court- house on the Arkansas side this after- uoon. 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,” per- haps, 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 him- self, even though he were governor. Let the Negro democrats see how this will set upon their gall. Notice. We have stopped free-doings in the paper.
