LET EVERY NEGRO RALLY In 1863 4,000,000 slaves were emancipated by the American people, through the republican party, after four years of war, which caused some of the best people to fill untimely graves. In December, 1865, the thirteenth amendment to the constitution, forever prohibiting slavery on American soil, went into effect, and it was through the republican party. In July, 1868, the fourteenth amendment, granting civil rights to Negroes, was proclaimed a part of the constitution of the United States. This measure was fought by the democrats in congress. In February, 1869, the fifteenth amendment was adopted, and referred to the states, and in March the same was ratified by three-fourths of the states, and went into effect. Every measure adopted for the protection Negro manhood has been fought by the democratic party. President Grant said that if this government was powerful enough to free the Negroes, it was then powerful enough to protect them, if it took a soldier at every door. In 1879 specie payment was resumed under the republican reign. Thus far the republican party has been the friend of the Negro, and, in the language of Frederick Douglass, the republican party is the old ship; all else is sea. So let us stand solid and be active in this work. THE MINISTER'S DUTY. The minister of the gospel is one of the great leaders of the people. It is his duty to give them sound advice and direct them in the right way in this world, as well as to point out the way to the life ever lasting. In the present campaign it is the duty of every Afro-American preacher who has the true interests of his race at heart to explain to his people the issues as they affect the Afro-American He should show that the democratic party has always been the bitter foe of the race, and has invariably opposed every measure proposed by the republican party to better the race's condition. At the close of every sermon it would be well to have a short-heart-to-heart talk with the congregation. At the close of every meeting during the week say a word for the party and keep up the enthusiasm. Teach the Sunday-school children gratitude for the work accomplished by the republican party. Tell them to persuade their fathers to remain loyal to the party which gave freedom to the race. It is not likely that any considerable number of Afro-Americans will stray away from the fold and vote for Parker; but as all our people are not sensible, let the preacher stand upon the watch-tower and warn them of the danger. An occasional communication to a local press, telling why the people should vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks, will do great good, provided the article is short and to the point. Every minister of intelligence is well informed regarding the present political situation, and he should lead his people rightly. If this is done, victory will be ours on the 8th of November next. Wedding Bells. The friends of Undertaker Harrison were surprised, Tuesday morning, to learn that he had become a benedict. On Monday, at Chicago, he married Miss Edith L. Birney, to whom he had been engaged for several years. The groom is a graduate from Sumner high school, and Howard university, while the young lady whom he married is a graduate of the Des Moines Concervitory of Music. The young married couple will receive their friends at the McKoin residence on Ella avenue. FOR RENT. Three fine unfurnished rooms. Bath and water license free. Apply at 1512 Papin street, or to Jas.

LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1904. These People Mean Business as Shown By Their Excellent Work. The St. Louis B. Y. P. U., a Christian organization which composes some of the leading Baptist churches of the city, held its quarterly district meeting at the Fifth Baptist church last Sunday at 3:30 p. m. The meeting was opened by singing, then prayer was offered by Brother Gilbert Brown, after which the Galilee Baptist union was admitted in the association. Next the report of the recording secretary was called for. Madame M. A. Lawrence came forward, and read her report, followed by the treasurer, A. W. Washington. Both reports were received with some recommendations. The newly-elected officers were installed. They will serve for the next 12 months, beginning on the third Sunday in last June. The president, Miss E. Buchner, reported to the union that the organization was without an organist. On motion of Mr. E. Humphrey, Mr. S. J. Paterson was elected to serve for the next twelve months. The report of the missionary committee was read by Miss Anna B. Thompson, and was received. The lesson topic was taken up by Madame Leatha Newcomb, the conductor, and read in concert from the 37th Psalms, first to the thirteenth verse, and Ecclesiastes, 7th chapter and tenth verse. The lesson was opened by Mr. Garfield Craven, and discussed by Rev. R. H. Cole and W. C. Henderson. Rev. Cole almost preached a sermon, in fact his words were so full of wit and logic until he carried the house with a storm. The subject was "Christian Culture," hence the remarks of the different gentlemen made a lasting impression on all present. A letter was read by the president, Miss Buchner, from Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, stating that he will be here next Sunday, and wanted to see the members of all the local unions. It was decided that the compact or St. Louis B. Y. P. U. will meet on next Sunday, the 25th, at the First Baptist church. The literary programme was taken up, and as the following named churches were called, each participant responded: Antioch Baptist union, Miss Bertha Middleton, solo; chorus, by four ladies and two gentlemen; duet, Miss Luvenia Carrington and Mr. Harrison Foster. Central Baptist union had an extra fine paper by Mr. Thomas McJenkins, an address by Prof. E. W. Case. Fifth Baptist Union—Recitation by Miss Emma Reddish. Each and every one of the ladies and gentlemen acquitted themselves well. A few remarks were made by Mr. Charles Bollingers, and others, and on motion of one of the members it was decided to hold the next meeting at the Galilee Baptist church in December. A collection was taken up, amounting to $3.15. MISS ESTELLE BUCHNER, President. MISS L. STEWART, Secretary. Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows The national grand lodge of the Odd Fellows that will meet in Columbus, O., October 4, will have the following named gentlemen as representatives from St. Louis: W. C.

Robinson, of 2611 Market street, left last Tuesday from a telegram that stated that his mother was very sick at Franklin, Tenn. He will be gone for several weeks. When we hear that our mother is sick, it is then we show our love and respect by going at once to be with her. We wish him a safe journey. SUFFERING FROM RHEUMATISM. M. A. J. Smith, of 1315 Clark avenue, is suffering from rheumatism. He is thinking about selling out and leaving St. Louis. We regret it very much, as he is a success in business. A Beautiful Entertainment. Miss Belle Fields entertained Miss Scott, a school-teacher, from Kentucky; Miss Lewis Richmond, Miss Blanche Moore, Mrs. Dr. Rickards and daughter, who have been in the city for a week visiting the fair. Wednesday Miss Fields gave a luncheon in honor of Miss Rickards, who will be a holiday bride. The dining room was decorated with palms and cut flowers; the tablecloth was of thin linen drawwork, with deep battenberg border over red satin centerpiece, embroidered in American Beauty roses, which were very pretty. A large cut-glass bowl filled with roses adorned the center of the table. At each end a small candle stick with three candles, with red silk shades, lighted the table. The luncheon was served in seven courses. Miss Rickards wore a white silk dress, trimmed in lace and pearls; Miss Scott, white broadcloth, tailor-made gown; Miss Lewis, $a$ black lace over blue silk, trimmed with black jet; Miss B. Moore, black silk Peau de Soie, trimmed with stitched side plaits and rows of fancy silk braid, and Mrs. Rickards wore a thin broadcloth. The centerpiece was so admired by the guests that Miss Fields presented it to Miss Rickards as a beginning of her bridal presents, with the remark: "It was made by my hands." With glad thanks Miss Rickards accepted the beautiful centerpiece. The afternoon was spent in the sitting room, entertaining one another with poems, jokes and singing. At 5:30 they left for Union station, saying they had a delightful time, and enjoyed the fair very much while in the city. DU BOIS Without Fail [Name] Douglass Hall Monday OCTOBER, 3. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 1, 1904. Mr. Jas. W. Grant, Treasurer Lyceum Sketch Club, St. Louis, Mo.: Dear Mr. Grant I am much better in health now and will lecture for you on Monday, October 3rd, on "The Development of a People." I shall not fall you this time. Very truly, W. E. B. DU BOIS. JUST MARRIED. J. Frank Lane, M. A., a son of Bishop Lane, and Miss Mary Edna Johnson were married about two weeks ago. They are now on their bridal tour, and they are stopping at 4484 Kennerly avenue, at Mrs. L. Corbett's. They will remain several weeks, and take in the fair. Prof. Lane is an instructor in Lane college. Also Miss Mary Edna Johnson is a teacher of Latin and History at Lane's college. She is a very amiable young lady. May God he with us till we meet again. An Old St. Louisian. Mr. Ben Jenkins is in the city having a good time. Since his arrival he met my old friends of young age, and a number of them that he speaks of have quit the walks of life, and have gone beyond to that tiour from which none return. Yet Mr. Jenkins is looking well, and he is as jolly as of old. We met him at several places—the Newport restaurant—Wm. D. Dyer's, looking as fresh as a spanked baby. He is all O. K. MR. WADE AND FAMILY. Mr. George Wade and wife and their daughters, Miss Emma and G. Ellen Wade, are visiting Mr. Wade's son and his wife at 4202 Kennerly avenue. They will remain several days. Mr. Wade has taken in the World's fair with his family. Every time he took his family to the big show he left from $5 to $8, but he does not regret it, as he has plenty of Uncle Sam's stamps. We are for all men and women that are for the World's fair. MADRID ILLINOIS BUILDING AT THE FAIR. Our neighbors from across the River celebrated two days at the World's Fair this week. THE CATHEDRAL OF KATHOLYNE No one of the many innovations introduced by Dr. B. F. Allen in the management of Lincoln Institute can become of more practical value to the Negroes of the state and section than the farmers' convention, provided that the thinking men and women of their respective communities will take hold of the matter in the proper spirit and, by their presence and experience, added to words and deeds of encouragement, will aid a movement that, in the present status of the Negro, financially and otherwise, can be of so much material use to him in a section which commands the rich agricultural lands of the great middle west, of the southwest, and the northwest. The public lands are rapidly opening, the number of acres of available land proportionally is decreasing, and if the Negro fails to be "land-wise" in his day and generation, he will eventually awake to find himself not only disfranchised, but also minus that other strong right arm of liberty, the ownership of land. Possessed of land and knowledge of improved methods of cultivation, irrigation, rotation of crops, poultry raising, dairying, etc., he may be able to hold his own in a country where high handed competition is the order of the day; otherwise (unless he develops much more satisfactorily along other industrial or professional lines), he must be content to be pushed closer and closer to the wall. The third annual farmers' convention, held in connection with Lincoln Institute, will convene on the first Friday in November, and all interested in the progress of the race, from agricultural and other important points of view, are invited to be present, and to take active part in the discussions, etc. The thirty-ninth annual session of Lincoln Institute has opened most auspiciously, with more students than ever before in the history of the school. In the student body are representatives from many Missouri coun- $2.00 Per Annum. Single Copy 6 cents. THE FAIR. two days at the World's Fair --- ties and from various states of the union.

Reed, of Bunton, and Mr. Edward Johnson, of Great Bend, Kas. All are welcome. President Allen's dinner complimentary to Mrs. Jones of Memphis, was a grand affair. The members of the conference of the A. M. E. Zion church, recently in session in Jefferson City, visited the school in a body, and expressed themselves as exceedingly well pleased with all they saw. In response to invitation, President Allen and several members of the faculty addressed the conference. The foot ball season is on and the boys are getting in shape. Could Wait No Longer. Mr. H. H. Ball, of 4545 Kennerly avenue, was married, on the 17th of August, to Miss Ada V. Hill, of Denver, Col. They were married by Rev. Ford, of that city. We wish them well, and may peace and happiness crown their walks of life. Mr. Ball has a mother and sister living. Miss Hill, his wife, has a mother, father and sister living in Denver, Col.

Gov. Dockery has issued the following proclamation: To the People of Missouri: The World's fair city has won distinction in the enthusiasm and attendance displayed in celebrating St. Louis day. Unstinted praise is due the people of the enterprising metropolis. Missouri should emulate the example of St. Louis, in appreciation of the greatest industrial exposition of the age. The opportunity will soon be afforded. The Missouri commission and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co. have set apart Tuesday, Oct. 11, as Missouri day. It will be the last distinctive opportunity for the organized assemblage of Missourians during the progress of the exposition. Missouri day in attendance should surpass all others. It can be done. Systematic effort by the press and the people from the Ozarks to the Iowa line, and from the Mississippi to the Kansas border, will bring to St. Louis on that occasion a vast multitude of Missourians. The metropolitan and country press, I am sure, will lead the way. The chief officers of cities, towns, counties, commercial clubs and other organizations should heartily co-operate, and give one day to the glory of this commonwealth. Transportation facilities will be ample. Extremely satisfactory railroad rates are already assured. A great military parade, consisting of a detachment of the regular army, the entire national guard of our state and other military organizations will be one of the attractive features of the occasion. Now, therefore, I, Alexander M. Dockery, governor of Missouri, do earnestly request that all public offices be closed October 11, 1904, and the people refrain from their usual avocations to celebrate an event which gave that resplendent jewel Missouri to the flashing crown of our great republic. In testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand and cause to be affixed the great seal of the state of Missouri. Done at the City of Jefferson this sixteenth day of September A. D., 1904. (Glimpsed) A. M. DOCKERY By the Governor: Sam Cook, Secretary of State. School Children Honor Yeager. In response to the wish of the family of the late Robert L. Yeager, for years member of the Kansas City board of education, the board decided to have a bust of Mr. Yeager made in bronze and placed in the rotunda of the public library. The bust will be mounted upon a pedestal of bronze. The Kansas City school children raised a memorial fund in the schools last year. It will be used to defray the cost of the bronze bust. It was left with Mr. Yeager's family to decide what form the memorial should take. Barrington Brief Filed. The transcript in the case of "Lord" Seymour Barrington, under sentence of death for the murder of James P. McCann, and who has appealed to the supreme court, has been received at the court clerk's office in Jefferson City. The document is an exceptionally voluminous one, embracing 2,300 closely written typewritten pages, and contains more than 1,000,000 words. It is too late to have the case argued at the ensuing term of the court, which convenes October 11, but will be placed on the January call. To Make Cemetery Attractive. The ladies of Unionville are determined that the city cemetery of that place shall be kept in good condition, even if they have to do it themselves. To that end the Unionville Ladies' Cemetery association has filed articles of incorporation with Secretary of State Sam B. Cook. The articles of incorporation set forth the object of the association as follows: "To reclaim the city cemetery from its present deplorable condition." Names National Guard Officer.

Arrow Rock wants to be on the line of the Missouri Central electric road when that system emerges from the minds of its promoters. Runaway May Prove Fatal. Ernest C. Hartwig, cashier of the First national bank of Buchanan county, was probably fatally hurt in a runaway at St. Joseph. MISSOURI CROP BULLETIN. Weather Generally Favorable for Maturing of Crops and Farm Work--Corn Advancing. The United States department of agriculture, climate and crop bulletin of the weather bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending September 19, 1904, says: The week was generally favorable for the maturing of crops and farm work. Good showers were general on the 11th and 13th, putting the ground in excellent condition, except in a few northwest counties, where the rains were heavy, making it too wet for plowing. Light frost occurred in the extreme northwest counties on the morning of the 14th, and was quite general on the morning of the 15th in the northern, west central and southwest counties, but causing no damage whatever. Corn is making steady advancement toward maturity. Cutting of the advanced crop is general all over the state; the late planted is filling well and beginning to change color; two weeks more of favorable weather conditions and the greater part of the crop should be out of danger. Plowing for wheat is being pushed to completion, and seeding is becoming general. Potatoes are yielding fair to good, and digging is general. Yield of sweet potatoes is uneven, some localities giving excellent yields and others poor. Cotton continues in fairly good condition; the lower bolls are opening rapidly. Some local rust and shedding. Pastures are in excellent condition and stock look well. Millet and second crop of clover is being secured in good condition. Clover hulling is progressing slowly, with poor to fair yield. An excellent crop of wild hay, and in some localities the third crop of alfalfa is being secured. Sorghum and all winter forage crops are maturing. Turnips, cabbages and tomatoes are fair to very good. Peaches continue fairly plentiful in some localities, but the season is drawing to a close. Apples are very poor, with the exception of few localities. Three Pastors in Eighty Years. Three Pastors in Eight Years The Antioch Presbyterian church, in Pike county, where the Presbytery recently met, has had but three pastors in the last 80 years, during which time the congregation has not been a month without a leader in the straight and narrow way. The church was organized in May, 1819, 85 years ago, being the first Cumberland Presbyterian church organized in the state. Rev. J. W. Campbell was pastor of the church for over 40 years, from 1824 to 1870, and Rev. R. O. Elmore served the congregation for 23 years. The present divine at the head of the church, Rev. J. R. Patton, is looked on as a youngster in the measure of service, as he has occupied the pulpit there but a little more than six years. Has a Nose for Honey. To find about fifty "bee trees," which each averaged from 50 to 150 pounds of honey, is the fortune of J. A. Meadows, who lives at Bachelor. According to tradition in this state, the finder of a bee tree has but to mark it, and the contents become his own, no matter on whose land the tree stands, and Mr. Meadows has made the tradition quite profitable to himself. His Experience With Highwaymen. His Experience with Highwaymen John H. Buster, aged 45, of Durant Miss., a World's fair visitor, was held up by three men in St. Louis county, and forced, at the point of a revolver, to drink out of a bottle, which it thought to have contained a drug. The men then took $35 from him and left. Buster was found in an unconscious condition by mounted police. Sells St. Charles Newspaper.

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.

Doubts and fears, with sore depression, Brood within my heart at will; But my spirit, faltering, fainting, Strives to hold Thine image still. Lord of light and love and glory Look Thou down and pity me! Though mine enemies encompass Let me not lose faith in Thee. Every newborn day arouses Fresh temptations, which combine All to claim and force allegiance From a heart that would be Thine. Then uphold Thou and sustain me! May I feel Thy presence near; To a broken, contrite spirit, Grant, O Lord! a listening ear. I would ask of Thee to lighten This, the heavy cross I bear; Day and night my soul, disheartened, Cries to Thee from deep despair. Then sustain Thou and uphold me, Make my heart more wholly Thine; Groping blindly in the darkness, Light my way with Love Divine! -J. F. T., in Springfield (Mass.) Repub lican. VOICE OF THE HATCHET. The other day I had occasion to use a hatchet. When I found the tool, the edge was dull, and full of nicks. The oil-stone was secured, and after much labor the nicks were removed, and the edge was put in shape for work. The place where the hatchet was to do its work was on a sidehill, covered with brush and scrub trees. After several days of service, I noticed that the edge of the hatchet was polished to a bright luster. On closer inspection I discovered that every scratch, made by the oil-stone in putting on the edge, was gone, not even the slight streaks which every stone naturally leaves on the tool it sharpened, remained. This set me to thinking. The thing desired by most folks is to shine in the world. Not in the sense of being conspicuous, but in the sense of living a life that will be bright and cheering. So there is much preparation in school and college and often post-graduate work. There is no lack of opportunity to secure a thorough training. But preparation does not produce the highest luster, nor make the best life. It is not an uncommon thing to hear such a commentary: "He is just out of school, and has not had the edges rubbed off." The truth is, that "edges" can only be removed by service. My hatchet taught me several things. The place where my work was done needed clearing. The place where we can secure the greatest life-luster is where we can do the greatest good. To choose a place because it is easy, or because it promises an easy time, is to choose that which may fail to bring to brightness the life that has had the most complete preparation. Many lives have remained lusterless because they have been spent in wrong places. Much of the brushwood was full of knots and snarls. But the hatchet became bright just the same. To work in the life-field where there are roots and knots and snarls is not a condescension—but a blessing; it is not a detriment—but a means of securing that which is longed for by every true man and woman. The characters that have helped the world most, and now shine most brightly, are those that have worked amid the rough knots and snarls of life. If the hatchet had remained in the tool chest it would have lost two things—its usefulness and its high luster. Many are waiting for the right thing to turn up, in order to make the best of themselves. The hatchet was able to cut the small brush as well as the thicker stuff. The fact is, if it could not have cut the smaller stuff, it would never have been able to cut the larger trees. Life-luster comes in the same manner as it came to the hatchet—by hard, useful service. Truly my hatchet has spoken to me in a homely yet most cutting fashion!—Baptist Union. Glorifying God. A more philosophical and scriptural answer never was made to the question as to what is the chief end of man than that he is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. Our Lord, when he was about to close his earthly career, said in his prayer: "I have glorified thee on the earth. I have finished the work thou gavest me to do." The full force of the saying comes home to us only when we see that the word glory does not mean in the New Testament an effulgence of some kind, but rather, the exalting of a person or thing that what is hidden may be disclosed. To glorify anything, then, it to exalt it so that its hidden qualities may be revealed. That is what Christ did. He showed the Father unto men. And that is what every true child of God will do, must do in fact. St. Paul exhorts the Corinthians, whether they eat or drink, or whatsoever they do, to do all to the glory of God. In our attitude to things, in our work and play, in our reading and even in our thoughts we may reveal God. As one has said. God may be revealed in the way we drive a nail—N. W., Christian Advocate. There is a good deal of broken time in some lives; but when God's fingers are permitted to sweep the keys, the "rests" become a part of the music as truly as the plainly written notes.—United Presbyterian. A SPAN OF OXEN. An Illustration from South Africa Which Teaches Important Spiritual Lessons. We are God's yoke fellows. 1 Cor. 3:9. For 100 years oxen have been the horse, the locomotive, the bicycle, all in one, in South Africa. Civilization has traveled northward from Cape Town behind a span of oxen. When I was a boy a "span" meant two oxen. In South Africa, a span means 16, says Sydney Strong, in Chicago Advance. At the same time that "prairie schooners" drawn by horses were moving across Illinois and Iowa and Kansas, great wagons drawn by oxen were moving across Cape Colony and Natal and the Transvaal. Africanders used to spend months behind their oxen. The ox-cart was home. Children were born there; people died in them. Battles were fought with the savages behind them. The ox-cart is still the chief method of travel, especially off the railroad. The journey is begun before the light of day, at midday there is a long rest. Then long into the night the journey is continued. When the oxen are unfastened, it is called "out-span;" when they are hitched up it is called "in-span." There is always a "leader-boy"—often a very little chap—who goes ahead with a string in his hand, fastened to the horns of the leading ox. Then there is a "whip-man" who walks at the side, and with a long whip keeps all the oxen in their places. So, up hill, down hill, through rivers, sand and mud, the people of South Africa travel from one colony to another, averaging about 15 miles a day. This is very slow, but the ox, like the turtle, finally gets to his journey's end. South Africa could never have been settled without the help of the ox-spah. Missionaries, farmers and hunters have all used them. Now, stand here and watch the oxen "in-span." They must be out feeding, hidden by the tall grass, but the boy turns them in. Each one goes to his own place and bends his head to take the yoke. Then when all is ready, at the crack of the whip, they all pull together, and the great wagon, creaking, slipping, tipping, begins to move. You have noticed two things. 1. Each one knows his place and walks to it. He minds his own business. He sees to it that he is in his own place ready to do his own work. 2. All the oxen pull together. They pull at the same time. They pull in the same direction. If there is a "kicker" or a "backer" or a "shirker" away flies the whip-snapper, and Mr. Ox "falls in." There is the sermon. Learn of the ox. Just as the work of South Africa is being done by every ox knowing his place, and all pulling together, so the work of God is to be done. God's great chariot moves on, drawn by men. Each one does his duty when he finds his place quickly and fills it. Don't look out so much for John and Mary, but mind your own business. Then, when once in place, learn to pull with others. Pull when others pull and in the same direction—and so the great loads of humanity are drawn. Before stopping, let me whisper to you a word of advice: "Belong to Christ's span." His yoke is easy; His burden is light. SENTENCE SERMONS. Religion is not in profession but in possession. Destructive critics are the black ants in the angel cake. The prayeriest man is always living on the danger line. The surest way to win success is to make full preparation for it. It takes a quick eye to recognize an opportunity when it is passing. Our aim should not be to excel another but to rise to the highest there is in us. God casts the mantle of His gentleness around those whom He is about to call home. Patience and perseverance are the eagle pinions by which we mount toward the sun. Prosperity, unless blessed with the presence of Jesus Christ, is liable to bring about a withering of spiritual graces. The Arabs say: "The sunshine makes the desert." The Great Issues. Rev. F. G. Peabody, D. D., has giver the world food for thought in this paragraph: "Trivial incidents get so engrossing that life becomes unprepared for the great issues. A man gets all absorbed in his business and intends some day to enjoy his home; a woman gets ensnared in the burdensome details of life and losses her peace of mind; and one day some great overwhelming experience of trial or sorrow suddenly attacks such a life, and the life simply surrenders to the unforeseen assault, stricken and unprepared, because the strength which ought to have been nurtured for the crisis has been exhausted in the insignificant skirmishes of daily affairs." A. Praver-Meeting Incident. When called on to take part in prayer meeting do not under any circumstances throw a pall over the whole meeting. A lugubrious individual got up in a meeting not long ago and poured out upon the assemblage a terrible tale of his bad feelings. He said he was under the ban of the Almighty and uttered other words of similar import. The leader of the meeting, however, was equal to the occasion. "I am sorry," he said, "Let the brother's supper disagreed with him. Perhaps he would better sit down. Brother Jones, will you lead us in prayer?"—Congregationalist. 2601 LAWTON AVENUE. N.W. Cor.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fine subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published 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. T. E. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. "If I could be absolutely assured of my election as president by turning my back on the principles of human liberty as enunciated by Abraham Lincoln, I would be incapable of doing it and unfit for president if I could be capable of doing it. I do not expect to be elected president by those who would close the door of hope against the Afro-American as a citizen. If I am elected to this high office, it must be on my record as the executor of the law without favors or discriminations."—President Roosevelt. If you believe in honest politics vote the republican ticket straight. Under the Roosevelt administration there are 13 Afro-Americans in the diplomatic and consular service. When the chilly days of November come, cover Parker out of sight by your votes for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. There are 1,891 Afro-Americans employed by the district government at Washington, D. C., and their salaries aggregate about $850,000. The Afro-American people know too well what democratic success means to be beguiled by the smooth talk of the democratic spellbinders. Under the Roosevelt administration there are more than 5,000 Afro-Americans in the public service of the country, and they receive about $3,000,000 in salaries. The American people have a substratum of good sense, and although they may listen to the democratic speakers, they will vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. J. M. Turner says that there is no room in the democratic party for a respectable Negro. It took him 20 years to find that out. The Afro-Americans will never turn from the republican party and go over to the Democrats who are daily murdering the people of their race in the south. As soon as McKinley was elected in 1896 confidence was restored, and we have had prosperity ever since. Vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks, and let the good times continue. Fifty Japanese families have settled in Louisiana, where they will start rice farms. They were welcomed by the local democrats, who are great admirers of colored men—from the orient. Parker has little to say, but if elected, his acts will be in accord with the wishes of the men who made him a presidential possibility, and these men are all against the Afro-American. Hon. J. Milton Turned, ex-minister to Liberia, who has been a democrat for many years, has returned to the republican fold. Turner says there is no place in the democratic party for the black man. In South Carolina in 1900, nearly all of the votes cast were counted for Tillman's man Bryan. The Afro-Americans were not allowed to poll ten percent of their voting strength. That's Tillman's idea of the "consent of the governed." Many of the men who wore tin roosters upon their hates in 1892, and then wore Cleveland patches upon the seats of their breeches for four years, voted for McKinley in 1896 and 1900, and they'll vote for Roosevelt this year. Some of the southern journals are discussing the question: "Was the fourteenth amendment ever adopted?" When Roosevelt and a republican congress are elected they will be shown that the fourteenth amendment was not only adopted, but that it will be enforced. CITY NEWS.

AN INNOCENT ONLOOKER SHOT The St. Louis Grand Jury Has Promptly Taken Up the Matter and Will Try to Fix the Responsibility. St. Louis, Sept. 21.—Beginning, Monday morning, with a clean set of books, the new registration of the voters of St. Louis was started, but it was only a few hours before they were, metaphorically, smeared with blood. In some of the wards fraudulent registration was begun early, and carried on with the brazen effrontery and bullying tactics for which the St. Louis "Indians" have become noted. One of the results was the killing. Monday afternoon, of Frederick E. Scheel, a young law student from Belleville, Ill., who was shot and almost instantly killed during a fusillade following a row in the registration booth of the eighth precinct of the Fourth ward. The trouble was started by Oliver J. Beck, a republican judge, challenging the right of some men to register. They claimed to reside at the Jefferson hotel, whereupon Beck asked them to go over to the hotel with him and verify their statement, at the same time starting for the door of the booth. In passing out he was assaulted by one of the party, and running into the street drew a pistol, threatening his assailants, whereupon shooting began. None of the parties to the affair are known to have been hit, but young Scheel happened to be in the way of two of the bullets and received a fatal wound. Accounts of the shooting differ to some extent. The police, who did not see it, claim that Beck killed Scheel, but eye-witnesses say that bullets from the pistols of Beck's pursuers did the killing. Beck denies having fired at all, nevertheless he is the only one of the party directly concerned arrested, although some others have been detained as witnesses. The grand jury, under the instructions of W. Scott Hancock, assistant circuit attorney, the first ting Tuesday morning took up the investigation of the murder and will probe the affair to the bottom. Not only will the grand jury inquire into the killing and the perpetrators of the crime, but they will delve into the motives, the alleged irregular registrations in the ward, and the conduct of the leaders of the repeaters who are attempting to pad the books. Every phase of the tragedy will be dug up, and it is thought that the ground plan of election frauds in St. Louis will be so exposed that the whole thing may be stopped before election. Ceroner Funkhouser, at the request of the grand jury, postponed the inquest on Scheel until such time as the grand jury shall dismiss the witnesses. THE CASE OF BARRINGTON Transcript of the Case Now In the Hands of the Clerk of the Missouri Supreme Court. Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 21.—John R. Green, clerk of the Missouri state supreme court, received, Monday, from St. Louis county, the transcript in the case of F. Seymour Barrington, under sentence of death for the murder of James P. McCann, who took an appeal to the supreme court. The document is an exceptionally voluminous one, embracing 2,300 closely, typewritten pages, and contains more than 1,000,000 words. It has not yet been placed on file, as the filing fees have not been received. It was brought here too late to have the case argued at the ensuing term of the court, which convenes October 11, but may be placed on the January call. ANOTHER GIFT ANNOUNCED Lyman C. Smith WIII Give Another Building to Syracuse# Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 21.—Chancellor Day of Syracuse university announced the gift from Lyman C.

WILL FACILITATE FRAUD WILL FACILITATE FRAUD Peculiar Ruling of a United States Commissioner at Portland, Ore. If It Stands It Will Have the Effect of Making Easy the Fraudulent Entry of Chinese. Portland, Ore., Sept. 23.—By a ruling of United States Commissioner E. A. McKee, the first statement of a Chinese taken after his arrest for being illegally within the boundaries of the United States before the Chinese inspector or any inspector can not be used by the government as evidence against the oriental. The decision was made during the hearing of the case of Dong Sam-held for deportation. Immediately after his arrest, Dong Sam made a statement to Chinese Inspector Barbour which is prima facie evidence that the Chinaman is not legally entitled to remain in this country. When this statement was offered as evidence it was not admitted. Commissioner McKee assigns as his reason for making the ruling when the statements are taken there is no lawyer present to advise the Chinaman what to say. The decision will have the effect of making admission into this country easy for a large number of Chinamen, as the government has frequently hitherto relied on this evidence to secure deportation, it having been found that the Chinese are more likely to tell the truth immediately after arrest than after they have had a chance to become posted by their countrymen. A DISPUTE OVER SPOILS. It Resulted In the Fatal Shooting of a Burglar by His Pal and the Latter's Arrest. Jackson, Mich., Sept. 23.—Frank Shoemaker, employed at Jackson Junction, is in the hospital in a dying condition, as a result of attempting the role of burglar. Shoemaker's alleged accomplice, who gave his name as George Ryan, of St. Louis, is in jail awaiting arraignment. On his person was jewelry alleged to have been taken from the home of George Schmidt. Officers found the two men in the street in a lively altercation. As they approached, Ryan shot Shoemaker and fled, and the officers had a running fight with him until he surrendered. It is thought that the men were disputing over a division of the spoils of the robbery, and that Ryan attempted to murder Shoemaker. BENJ. MATLACK EVERHART. Death of the Well-Known Scientist and One of the Most Expert Botanists in the World. Westchester, Pa., Sept. 23.—Benjamin Matlack Everhart is dead, aged 87 years.

As proof of this it is stated that 15 different plants have been given his name, these honors being largely conferred in foreign lands. Mr. Everhart was also a poet of considerable force and a writer of books of travel. His works on botany are regarded as authority on that subject all over the world. It is intimated that a fortune of $1,500,000 which he leaves will go largely to charity. ANDREWS IS PASING OUT. Frank C. Andrews Has Begun the Payment of Defrauded Depositors in His Bank.

Three Handsome Tailor Suits Designed for Fall Exhibit, But Can Be Worn All Through the Winter. THE HAT. WOMAN AND HOME Late Designs in Garden and Conservatory Decorations Add to the Beauty of the Plants. The application of the artistic to the useful, the movement begun by Ruskin and Morris, has finally entered the field of garden and conservatory decorations, where it might be imagined from their constant associations with beauty that such ideas would have emanated. The Chicago Journal says that in place of the ugly, unadorned clay pots ARTISTIC FLOWER STAND. or their still uglier ornamentations of frilled crepe and tissue paper, or the old style of painted washtubs in use in conservatories, are now set upon bronze stands tubs of highly polished woods, birded by hoops of brass. The shapes vary, ovals, squares, rectangles and circles being employed according to their fitness to the plants they hold. Some of the designs in the bronze work are quaint. Although many are original, others are reproductions of medieval work. The lack of monotony is favorable compared to the old styles. One conservatory varies these artistic novelties with wicker baskets of divers designs, that inclose the clay pots closely, painted green or white, their lighter colorings making a pleasing contrast under the brilliancy of the flowers and the shining green colorings of the leaves, to the black Chinee teakwood and reddish bronze of these new plant-holders. A rhodendron in a teakwood tub, with green bronze hoops and supports, is the most admired of all the plants in a north side conservatory. Something Quite Unusual. Little Bessie was so accustomed to seeing the baby crawl around the room on his hands and knees that she thought it was his natural mode of traveling. One day he succeeded in standing up with the aid of a chair and Bessie, very much astonished, ran to her mother and exclaimed: "Oh, mamma, come quick! Baby is standing up on his hind legs."

It Consists in Nothing More or Less Than the Proper Care of All of Her Clothes. We all have among our acquaintances the girl, who, without being in the least good-looking, always manages to look neat and well dressed. Perhaps she has only a small dress allowance, and when- ever you happen to meet her she looks smart and attractive, while other girls with twice the money at their command too often look shabby and cowdy. What is the neat girl's secret? Nothing more or less, says the New York Weekly, than taking care of her clothes; she has a place for everything, and everything is kept in its place, her ribbons, gloves, handkerchiefs, veils, etc., are not all huddled together in one drawer, neither do they lie about on the tables and chairs until they are wanted. Every article of apparel is put away with the most scruppulous care, first being dusted, shaken or mended as the case may be. There is a great difference, too, in the way in which girls put on their clothes, and very often a girl dressed in a shirt waist and plain skirt will look twice as neat as one clad in a $50 gown, the reason being simply and solely this: The one has put her dress on anyhow, the other has taken care that all shall be neat and fresh It is the 'duty of all parents to see that their children are taught from their babyhood, to take proper care of their wearing apparel; for the child who lets her clothes drop off her and tie in a heap on the floor invariably grows into the careless, untidy woman with whom we are so familiar. FOR LOVERS OF NOVELTIES. Cleverly Contrived Clocks Which Are Calculated to Attract Interest of the Public.

The cats were in separate cages, and all looked happy and contented except one little fellow sitting dejectedly in a corner. A lady viewing the cats, learned that this doleful feline was from France, and she called to it in its native tongue. Instantly the little creature raised its head and came eagerly forward. Then, as the lady continued to talk to it in French, the cat began to purr and walked up and down, rubbing against the wires with the most evident delight. Presently a crowd gathered and the lady with drew. When she returned the cat was again disconsolate, and again she cheered him up with his native tongue. By this time the news had spread, and several other people who spoke French began to talk to could speak French began to talk to the little foreigner. When the lady left he was perfectly happy under the impression that he was once more at home in France. Let us hope he was bought by some one who could speak French.—Golden Days. The Family Described. A Savannah sportsman who recently went on a fishing trip up the Savannah river tells a story of an old darky whom he saw on the bank of the stream. To engage the old man in conversation just for fun the sportsman called out: "Whose place is this, old man?" "Hit Mr. Swinnon place," was the reply. "Good big place, isn't it?" "Yassur, purty big place." "Has Mr. Swinnon any children?" "Yassir," was the answer; "he got four head ob daughter, but he ain't got no son."—Savannah News. Prince of Wales as a Jockey. The prince of Wales once rode and won a horse race. This event took place in Ireland nearly 40 years ago. The horse's name was Rupee and the distance run was a mile and a half. To the spectators the jockey was known as "Capt. Melville," but in reality it was his royal highness the prince. His colors on this occasion were all white. Rupee was the prince's own horse. He determined to ride him himself and, if possible, to win. This he did in excellent style. Strength of Plants. The great force exerted by the growing of the stem and roots of plants is shown in cities, where they often raise and crack pavements.

SOME OLD HEROES Superstition is not dead in the civilized world. There are yet many people who believe that King Arthur will awaken some day from his long sleep at Avalon.

To others Charlemagne sleeps in the Odenberg in Heesse; the Irish Brian Dorn, the Spanish Boabdil (Cisco and the Servian Kwex Lazai) wait in the heart of the mountain, crowded and armed, till the time is come for them to live again. And so it is with thousands of the heroes and great men of earth. Each has his wait for his devotees who watch and wait for his incarnation.—Chicago Chronicle. the musical notation on the lines of criptions is expressed by the letters of the Greek alphabet, which, when marked upright, inverted or tilted forward over the syllables of the text, indicates the various notes. Two sets of such musical symbols were in use with the Greeks—the one was vocal and is employed in the first; the other, instrumental and figures in the second of the two hymns to Apollo. As however, the instrumental accompaniment would hardly have been noted at the sacrifice of the song itself, we must infer that not only the voices sang in unison, but that, in this instance at least, instruments and voices were in unison. The hymn discovered and enlightened by the descendants of the vaders, whose discomfiture it celebrated, was for the first time after a lapse of nearly 12 centuries, again sung on March 27, 1894, before the king of the Hellenes at Athens, where it had been originally composed—Forum. CHANGE FOOD Some Very Fine Results Follow. The wrong kind of food will put the body in such a diseased condition that no medicines will cure it. There is no way but to change food. A man in Mo. says: "For 2 years I was troubled so with my nerves that sometimes I was prostrated and could hardly ever get in a full month at my work. "My stomach, back and head would throb so I could get no rest at night except by fists and starts, and always had distressing pains. "I was quite certain the trouble came from my stomach, but two physicians could not help me and all the tonics failed and so finally I turned to food. "When I had studied up on food and learned what might be expected from leaving off meat and the regular food I had been living on, I felt that a change to Grape-Nuts would be just what was required, so I went to eating it. "From the start I got stronger and better until I was well again, and from that time I haven't used a bit of medicine, for I haven't needed any. "I am so much better in every way, sleep soundly nowadays and am free from the bad dreams. Indeed, this food has made such a great change in me that my wife and daughter have taken it up and we are never without Grape-Nuts on our table nowadays. It is a wonderful sustainer, and we frequently have nothing else at all but a saucer of Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast or supper." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Good food and good rest. These are the tonics that succeed where all the bottled tonics and drugs fail. Ten days' trial of Grape-Nuts will show one the road to health, strength and vigor.

CONSCIENCE TROUBLED HIM “dn the Interest of ne of te Mont Desperate Gung of Swindlers and Thieves” New York, Sept. 28—Moech amuse men has been eansed by the publicatioa of “an open confession” by! the editor {a monthly paper pesing as a finan- 1 authority, The periodical has en freely yirculated cutside Now York sinee last June, and recently was varred from the mails. Postal in- spectors Were unable to find the:place of publication or to learn who was re- sponsible for tae paper.

In the confeszion the editor says that after having “held his position unree months, and being about to r> ure, his conscience impelled him -to state: “I have been in charge of this publication in thé interest of one of the most desperate gangs of swindlers and thieves that has ever infested: any eountry. Outside of this statement, no word of truth has eyer appeared in these columns, Upright and nonest business men, as well as. straightfor- ward and prosperous corporations, have been maliciously atiacked, with the sole idea that money might be in- fiuenced from them to the coffers of the gang that has given me employment. “Some of those who have been at- tacked have been ruined thereby, and ‘many thousands of dollars have been lost by small investors as a result.” The editor further declared the firms he recommended were fraudulent, and that country people were thereby de- frauded of thousands of dollars.

(Prepared by the “Highway and By- way” Preacher.) (Copsright, iui, uy J. M. Edson.) GOLDEN Tear FU. QUARTER—"The Lora is merciius au yractous,"—Panim 15, ‘The Quartery Review. The Kings—The quarter's lessons have taken us over about 80 years of the history of Judah and Israel. Three lessons have been uevoted to the kings of Judah—Rehoboam, Asa and Jehosa- phat—and nine to ine kingdom of Is- raeL Following the splendid reign of David and the m-gulieent reign of David's son, Solomen, Kehoaboam, the latter's son, came to the throne, and it was bis pride and impolitic condyet which alienated the ten tribes from Judah, the ruling touse. Jereboam, the son of Nebat, became king over the northern kingdom and Rehoboam con- Unued as king over Judah and part of the tribe of Benjamin. Kings of Judah and Israel, ‘The following diagram gives the kings of the two kingdoms, the length of their respective reigns and the prophets who served in Judah and Israel. Note the great number of kings in Israel and the shortness of their reigns as compared with the Kings of Judah: SAUL (40 YRS, , | SAMUEL iS N DAVID ZOVASHS NATHAN, iS we Sy SOLOMON OTRAS ae loge ee REVOBOARI TYAN) JeRozor os TEN SWEMAAM, convene prorecr cu capon.:2-4)) | aman, 22 FARDTA PRET M1 ne? 88 99) 454.

Note that the gen- eral tendency in the two kingdoms ir downward, toward the ultimate ruir which engulfed first Israel and then Judah. The events of the lessons natu: rally group themselves around the kings of Judah and Israel and the prophet Elijah. For this reason the review may well be made a character study. Note how the character of the kings determine largely the char- acter of the nation; good kings bring: ing about wholesome reforms and baé kings causing great moral and religi- ous decline. The lessons are full of God, of His mercy, patience and judg- ment on sin; of sin, its beginnings, ite progress, its ultimate ruin and death; of prayer, its importance, the character of true prayer, its power and the ne- cessity of prayer. Review Methods.—If the review Is tc be general the superintendent may as- sign to capable members of the schoo! brief papers on the different kings ané Blijah. If it is a class review the teacher may assign such papers to the members of the class. Or each one may be asked to bring in a written Ist of the kings with their prominent tra‘ts of character enumerated; as, Reho- boam—proud, unreasonable, weak :et oppressive. Jereboam—ambitious, un- scrupulous, ungodly; Asa—God-fearing conscientious, energetic, enterprising brave, etc. Or the scholars may be interested and encouraged to cover the points in each lesson by an acrostic exercise. Take the names of the kinge and of Elijah and after the following manner tell of the events of the les- sons: Rehoboam ruptured the kingdom, Bxasperated his subjects, Heeded not wise advice, Obeyed false leaders, Boasted of what he would do, Ordered Adoram to a fatal task, Almost lost his own life, Made a failure of life. z Jeroboam built cities, Established his kingdom. Relted on his own wisdom, Evil purposes carried out, Built golden calves, ‘Ordered people to worsh{p them, Altered the feast days, Made priests of the lowest of people. Asa allied himself with God, Bought for religious revival, Applied himself to national problems. ‘The above will sive the idea and the rest of the lessons can be worked out in this manner. This method would also prove attractive and successfu' for a general blackboard exercise. | ‘Ram’s Horn Blasts.

Miss Gannon, Sec’y Detroit Amateur Art Association, tells young women what to do to avoid pain and suffering caused by female troubles. “Dear Mrs, Preenaw:—I can conscientiously recommend Lydia B. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to those of my sisters suffering with ~ female weakness and the troubles which so often befall women. i suf- fered for months with epnal weakness, and felt so weary that I had hard work to keep up. I had shooting pains, and was uttcily miserable. In my distress I was advised to use Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable ‘Compound, and it was a red letter dey to me when I took the first dose, for at that time my restoration began. In six weeks I was a changed ‘woman, perfectiy well in every respoct. I folt so elated and hapny that I wantall women who suffer to get wellas I did.”—Miss Guita GANNON, 859 Jones St., Detroit, Mich, Secretary Amateur Art Association, It is clearly shown in this young Indy’s letter that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compoune ‘will certainly cure the sufferings of women; and when one considers that Miss Gannon’s letter is | only one of the countless hundreds which we are continually publishing in the newspapers of this country, the great virtue of Mrs. Pink- am’s medicine must be admitted by all; and for the absolute cure of all kinds of female ills no substitute can possibly take its place. Women should bear this important fact in mind when they go. into a drug store, and be sure not to accept anything that is claimed to be ** just as good” as Lydia E. Pink- ham’s ‘Vesetable ‘Compound, for no other medicine for female ills has made so many actual cures. How Another Sufferer Was Cured. “Dean Mrs. Precast: —I cannot praise your wonderful remedies enough, for they have done me more good than all the doctors I have had. For the last eight years and more I suffered with female troubles, was very weak, could not do my housework, also had nervous pros- , tration. Some days I would remain unconscious for a whole day and night. My neighbors thought I could never recover, but, thanks to your medicine, T now feel like a different woman. “T feel very grateful to you and will recommend Lydia E, Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound toall. It has now been four years since I had the last spell of nervous prostration. I only weiglied ninety- eight pounds at that time ; now I weigh one hundred and twenty-three. “I consider your Vegetable Capea the finest remedy made.
