St. Louis Palladium

ST.LOUIS PALLADIUM A. Vol. XX. No. 42. C DR. D. P. ROBERTS. Dr. D. P. Roberts, pastor of St. Paul's church, stands at the head of Methodists in the west—a man who, by his genial demeanor and Godly conversation, has caused all deminona- REV. N. C. BUREN. Rev. N. C. Buren, presiding elder of the Third Episcopal district, has been one of the most successful presiding elders that have had charge of that part of the church work. Rev. Buren is a most logical and impressive speaker. Success has attended his work, he believing in seeing his membership once every quarter. His district is the largest—that is, more miles to travel over than any other district. He sees every minister, and preaches to their congregation every three months. His district members and ministers love and respect him. May God continue his blessings on him. The conference meets in Poplar Bluff next Wednesday, where he will report progress to the conference and to our good bishop, G. W. Grant. REV. W. C. WILLIAMS. Rev. W. C. Williams, pastor of St. James church, is one of the most successful pastors in the Missouri conference. He entered the conference in 1895, and has held some very important charges. He was appointed to St. James church when there was no building, but in one year he succeeded in building a church and getting the membership together, and reported to the last conference with only $1,500 in debt. He reported progress and stated to the conference that if his plans were not interfered with by our good bishop, C. T. Schaffer, he would try and report further progress. He goes to conference this year and reports the indebtedness of $1,500 has been paid, and $60 in treasury with a steady increase of membership. With the steady Christian work, under God, St. James will be one of the grandest and most progressive churches in the Missouri conference. --- tions to love and respect him. The members of St. Paul's chapel have almost come to the conclusion that they can't not get along without him. Of course our good bishop will send him to Chicago. Farewell Reception to Dr. D. P. Roberts. Next Monday night Dr. D. P. Roberts, pastor of St. Paul's chapel, will be tendered a farewell reception by the members and friends of St. Paul's chapel. For four years Dr. Roberts has led this church with most wonderful success. He leaves this church for his new field in Chicago with much regret by all, yet the change will take place in the church of God under the Methodist rule. Our beloved Bishop Grant and wife will be present at the reception Monday night. Lincoln Institute Notes. It must appear to the most careful as well as to the casual observer who visits the institution, that one of the most prominent features relative to Lincoln Institute is found in the fact that it furnishes young people with an excellent home, highly moral and Christian in tone, accompanied by high-grade sanitary conditions, and with many modern appointments and appliances. Parents can not fail to appreciate the fact that here their growing boys and girls are kept off the streets and away from associates who have no other than a degrading or demoralizing influence. The school this year offers to a much greater extent than ever before, assistance to worthy young people of means so slender that they must be wholly, or in part, self-supporting, and many are availing themselves of this excellent opportunity to secure an education. Dr. Allen is making an effort to secure scholarships, in order that in the future there will be a fund upon which to draw for this purpose. He will also make an effort during the next session of the Missouri legislature to secure an appropriation for a building in which to develop the department of nurse training, thus adding another valuable industry or profession for girls and women. Teachers who attended the summer school are in many cases writing back to state how much the course helped them in securing grades, certificates, increase of salary, etc.; and many others are already writing to secure information relative to next summer's work. All of these things betoken earnestness, reform and progress. Dr. Allen's Sunday discourses, including two admirable talks, "The Best Things," and "The Worth of Personality," have furnished both student and teacher with much food for reflection, and the services have been well attended. The "Buskin," the "Sunshine Circle" and the "Olive Branch" are literary and musical societies, or debating clubs that are valuable auxiliaries to the make-up of the school; they help to develop the best that is in the pupil, and fit him for use in that greater forum which he is soon to enter. Free Evening School. A free evening school will be opened at the L'Overture building, Jefferson avenue and Papin street; Monday evening, October 10. The school will be held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights, from seven to nine o'clock. All books will be furnished free. CHARLES H. BROWN. Principal. Pickett's Headache Powders give instant relief. 2601 Lawton avenue. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1904. Uncle Tom's Cabin CRAWFORD'S THEATER. Leading in popularity, all of the great American dramas that have been produced, is the play of Uncle Tom's Cabin, a dramatization of that title, which was first produced at the Troy Museum, New York, where it had a successful run of over two months. In January, 1853, it was brought out at the National theater, on Chatham street, New York. Its success was phenomenal, and far beyond the most sanguine expectations of the management, and for a period of three years that theater was crowded to its utmost capacity, with sympathetic and appreciative audiences. It was also played at the Chestnut Street theater, Philadelphia, for over one year, to crowded and enthusiastic houses every night. In the fall of the year 1854, it was brought out at the Metropolitan theater, Detroit, Mich., and at McVicker's Chicago theater in December, 1858, where it had a run of eight months, to an immense business. It is without doubt, the finest American drama ever written, and holds a place in the heart of every American. This great drama, at Nibbo's Garden, New York, in 1879, proved the crowning success of the year. For nearly twelve months, thousands were turned away nightly, unable to get admitance, and the card, "Standing Room Only," met the view of the late com Its success having proved so great throughout this country, induced an enterprising manager to venture on its presentation in England. It was produced in London, where it took the citizens of the world's metropolis by storm, and continued to be the popular dramatic attraction for a long season. From London, it was taken to all the principal cities and towns in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, and in all places it received the hearty approval of the people. Al. W. Martin will present this drama in all its old-time beauty at the Crawford theater, Fourteenth and Locust, week, October 2, daily matinees, with a company of sixty people and the most lavish scenic equipment the old play has ever been provided with. Mr. Martin's company plays St. Louis every year, and last season was at the Imperial theater and hundreds were turned away. ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES. Mrs. J. H. Kennett, of Hannibal, Mo., is a World's fair visitor, and is being entertained by her friend, Mrs. M. F. Slaughter, of 3119 Lambdin avenue. Friends are requested to call. A very nice programme was rendered Sunday at the B. Y. P. U. meeting, also a lecture to the young people by Mrs. J. McClain, of St. Paul A. M. E. church. Sunday, October 2, Attorney J. C. Smith will address the union meeting at 6 p. m. The ladies' N. D. S. club were very pleasantly entertained, Thursday, 22d, by Mrs. Wilson, at 2826 Adams street. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson, of Memphis, Tenn., sister and brother-in-law of the hostess; Miss Belle, of St. Joseph, Mo., and Miss Wafield, of Clarksville, Tenn. The club will meet with Miss Emeline Phillips, at 3359 Cote Brilliante avenue, Thursday, October 13, at 2 p. m. Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., preached an instructive and spiritual sermon at 11 a. m., from 51 Psalms and 12 verse. At 8 p. m. the doctor spoke from 18th and 19th verses of 28th chapter of Matthew. He also spoke of the need of money to help spread the Gospel in the dark land of Africa. At the close of his sermon an appeal was made and $15 was taken up for foreign mission. Sunday, September 25, the missionary circle met in a call meeting, at 1 p. m. After some business was transacted, Rev. L. G. Jordan, of Louisville, Ky., was introduced, and made some very encouraging remarks, at the close of which he asked the circle to buy one of the books he has written, Title, "Up the Ladder in Missions." The circle purchased a book and presented it to their president, Mrs. Mary A. Lawrence. Mrs. Lawrence, in a few words, thanked the circle for their kindness, and told them she would try and show by her earnest work with them how she appreciated their present. One of the strange things is the little Negro democratic paper that was indorsed at the request of one Wm. Farmer, is now criticising the order for some supposed non-entrenchment. This is the little fellow that we baptized as Petticoat Logan. Seven aldermen and former aldermen of Buffalo, N. Y., have been indicted on the charge of bribery.

Our entire building is now utilized by the association to serve any man in any way we can; our well-furnished dormitory department answers one of the greatest problems if the young man away from home. We have a few rooms yet, to rent in a reasonable figure. The Literary society holds interesting sessions every Tuesday evening. For the present ladies will be welcomed to these meetings. The association aims to serve the churches in any possible way it can. With that end in view, two Bible classes have been organized; one to study the Life of Christ, the other one a course in studies in Faith and Conduct. Any man is invited to join one of these classes. See the general secretary about them. The future of any people is a great extent rests with its young men. It is easier to form than to reform. Help us to save the young men of our city. A donation may be sent or the secretary will call to see you. The association needs your assistance to-day. Another Common Negro From Hot Springs. Some days ago on Chestnut street, a few ladies were holding a conversation about the events occurring in our city. One of them during the conversation spoke in very complimentary terms of the Palladium and its manager, when all at once this dignified (?) lady said she knew he (the manager) was not all that he pretended to be. The manager wouldn't like to express his opinion concerning her, It would never do for the truth to be published. "People who live in glass houses ought not to throw stones." She is a member of the same order as the manager, but if she does not refrain from her unjust criticisms, she may hear something to her detriment. Prof. DuBois at Last Prof. W. E. B. Du Bois, having entirely recovered his health during his vacation, will deliver his famous lecture, "The Development of a People," at Douglass hall, Beaumont street and Lawton avenue, Monday evening, October 3. Prof. Du Bois, who comes here under the auspices of the Lyceum Sketch club, is acknowledged to be the foremost writer and lecturer of the race in America. His new lecture, "The Development of a People," is said to be the most powerful and exhaustive interpretation of the race problem ever presented. At the conclusion of the lecture, Prof. Du Bois will hold an informal reception, after which the floor will be given over to dancing, for the first time since the hall was closed for the summer season. Notice. All persons who have subscribed for The Palladium from Mrs. Mary A. Lawrence may expect her around to collect in the next few days. So please be ready for her.

Missouri State Gleanings. MISSOURI CROP BULLETIN. Weather Favorable for Farm Work and Maturing Crops--Cool Temperature and Showers. The weekly bulletin of the United States department of agriculture, climate and crop bulletin of the weather bureau, Missouri section, says: With the exception of the 25th and 26th, when high temperature prevailed, the greater part of the week was cool, with showers. Heavy local rains occurred from the 19th to the 24th in the northwest and central sections, hindering farm work to some extent. Local wind storms on the 24th caused some slight damage in Clay and Chariton counties. In the southwest and southeast sections the weather conditions were more favorable for farm work and maturing crops. Late corn is maturing rapidly in the southern portion of the state, but the crop is ripening slowly in the more northern counties, owing to low temperatures and frequent showers, and needs ten days of favorable conditions to be safe from frost. Plowing for fall seeding made excellent progress. The work has been delayed by wet soil in several counties in the northwest and central portions of the state, and a few localities in the extreme southwest complain of dry soil. Seeding is general in all sections, and is many localities the early-sown wheat is beginning to show green. Cotton continues in fair condition, but appears to be in need of about two weeks of warm weather; the bolls are opening quite rapidly in Butler county, and picking is in progress in Pemiscot and Dunklin counties. Potato digging is general, and the yield is about the average. Sweet potatoes are yielding well in some localities, and in others poor. Pastures continue in good condition, and stock look well. A fine crop of wild and tame hay has been secured for the winter. Clover hulling is nearing completion. With the exception of a few scattered counties a light and inferior crop of apples is indicated. The peach season is about closed; the grape crop is heavy and of fine quality. John Smith, a laborer in a tie camp 12 miles north of Poplar Bluff, was shot while sitting at the breakfast table with his wife. The physician who dressed his wounds says he will probably die. Tom Castel, also employed in the tie camp, and Smith's wife are under arrest, charged with an attempt to murder Smith. The shot tore away a portion of Smith's jaw, teeth, chin and tongue, and the index finger of his right hand. Mexico Union Station Burns. The Wabash and Chicago & Alton union station at Mexico was destroyed by fire, the origin being unknown. All of the contents except baggage, a part of the United States express and local tickets were lost. The Alton and Burlington had already planned to build a station, to cost about $40,000, and the fire will hasten the work. Negroes Fight a Duel. Garfield Robinson was shot and fatally wounded on the public square at Marshall by Lakin Allen. Both were negroes. Several prominent citizens narrowly escaped being shot. Feeling is running high among the Marshall whites over the repeated duels between negroes on the public streets. Furniture Distribution Delayed. The state board of equalization had a meeting at Jefferson city to decide upon the distribution of the furniture in the Missouri building at the World's fair, but adjourned without making the distribution, believing it best at this time to put off the distribution until after the close of the fair. Child Trampled by Horse. Clarence Rousin, 19 months old, was cramped by a horse while playing La the street in St. Louis. He sustained a compound facture of the skull, and no hope for his recovery was entertained by the physicians at the city hospital, where he was taken. St. Louis Day Admissions. Secretary Stevens has announced the exact number of admissions to the World's fair on St. Louis day. Of the total of 404,500 admissions, 358,403 were paid admissions of all kinds; 46,047 were free. Killed Four and Suicided. J. H. Palmer, a mine laborer, shot and mortally wounded W. J. Tuttle, also a mine laborer, and three of his own children, at Aurora, and then shot himself. Deadly Tarantula His Pet. David Goodin, of McKinney, Tex. who is visiting at Chillicothe, has a tame tarantula. He says it has an affable disposition and is harmless. St. Louis Has Corn Record. The longest ears of corn on exhibition in the Palace of Agriculture at the World's fair were raised within the corporate limits of St. Louis. Confesses to Arson. William Wilke has confessed to firing the store of the Lammert Furniture Co. in St. Louis, on August 8. The loss amounted to $90,000. Words has gone forth that all automobilists must equip their cars with pans or other efficient receptacles, so that gasoline, kerosene and other oils shall not be constantly dripping upon the asphalt or bituminous paved streets of St. Louis. In default of such action arrests are to follow. Street Commissioner Varrelmann sent a communication to Chief of Police Kiely, asking him to order all patrolmen to take into custody all persons found guilty of violating the city ordinance, which says that pans shall be provided to prevent the dripping of oils from automobiles upon the streets of the city. An examination of the streets in front of any hotel where automobile stands are maintained will reveal many patched places. These spots are the result of gasoline dripping from the automobiles. Gasoline and kerosene soften the asphalt, and soon afterwards the street department has another job on hand. Veterans Reunite A meeting of the George B. Harper camp, Confederate Veterans, No. 714, and a reunion of Gen. Robert McCullough's old regiment, the Second Missouri cavalry, took place at Bunceet. A large crowd was present, several states being represented. Gen. McCullough called about him the surviving members of his old regiment who were present, the scene being most impressive. When his regiment surrendered at Columbus, Miss., in 1865, there were only 130 able-bodied men remaining. Sixteen of that number were present at the reunion. Nearly all of the members of the George B. Harper camp attended. Blaze in Tobacco Factory. Fire in the Christian Peper tobacco factory, in St. Louis, caused a loss of about $100,000, fully covered by insurance. There were 400 people working in the factory, but all escaped uninjured, this fact probably being due to the bravery of Policeman Frank Morris, who discovered the blaze and went into the plant and ordered the employees to vacate at once. For a time it seemed as if a panic would surely ensue, but Morris used his club freely, and prevailed upon the excited ones to act in a regular manner. Charged With Embezzlement. Mack Sallings, postmaster at South Greenfield, was arrested and taken to Springfield and arraigned before United States Commissioner Pejjerdine on the charge of embezzling money orders to the amount of $483.19. He waived preliminary examination and was bound over in the sum to $1,000 to appear at the October term of the district court. The federal grand jury will investigate the case. New Railroad Chartered. The secretary of state has granted a charter to the Jefferson City, Jericho & Southwestern Railroad Co., of Eldon. The company is to build and operate a railroad from Minden, in Barton county, to Eldon, in Miller county, connecting Missouri Pacific lines. It has a capital stock of $1,250,000. Her Fourth Attempt Fails. Mrs. Walter C. Able, a would-be suicide, was rescued from the Mississippi river by Policeman James Dockery in St. Louis. It was her fourth attempt at self-destruction within two months. Dockery has patrolled a river beat for years, and has saved a dozen lives. Farmers to Hold Lectures. The farmers' institutes which are held each year under the auspices of the state board of agriculture will continue throughout the winter, and will be held in every county in the state, several meeting points being provided in some of the larger counties. Accepts Call to St. Louis. Prof. H. C. Penn, who has been assistant professor of English in Missouri university for several years, has resigned his position to accept a full professorship in English at Washington university, St. Louis. Maj. C. J. Corwin. Maj. J. C. Corwin, aged 80, died at the home of his son in Comins. He founded the Kansas City Advertiser many years ago, the predecessor of the Times. He was also state printer for Missouri before the war. Carless of Her Rings. Mrs. J. B. Fosterling, a World's fair visitor from Gravity, Ia., lost four rings, valued at $500, in St. Louis. She left them in the washroom of a department store. Boy Accidentally Kills Himself. William Sage, aged 18, accidentally shot and killed himself in St. Louis. The jugular vein was severed, and death was almost instantaneos. Teok Carbolic Acid. Grieving over the tragic demise of his brother, who drowned himself in the Mississippi, Charles F. Moench committed suicide in St. Louis. Jackson County Pioneer Dead. Mrs. Sallie J. Davenport, a resident of Jackson county for 60 years, died at her home in Kansas City. Old age was the cause of her demise. Another Gasoline Victim. Miss Annie Dahlin was probably fatally burned, in Kansas City, by an explosion of gasoline. She was preparing supper at the time. BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, " OZONO. " BEFORE. AFTER. TRADE-MARK. 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.

D., in N, ¥, Observer. THE VENTURE OF FAITH. Elements of True Faith and What the Soul Loses With- out Them. Saree yee ares eee ee ere eae et ee fathomable, the most impossible of defi- nition. They have the simplicity of the sea and of the sky, which bound each’ other at the horizon, but are not to be scored and marked by any boundary line of ours, One such word is faith, which Christ and Paul agree in putting into the forefront of the working virtues, but which the theologies have more ob- seured than explained to us. We are getting back to the discovery that faith is not s¢ much a mental operation as.a personal relation in which the will is en listed. Its proper object is not a creed, but a person—our God and our Saviour. We ade learning that he is not justified by faith who merely holds a right con- ception of that doctrine, and who can di- late on the imperfection of rival defini- tions of it, but he who from his heart can say that he has put himself for sal- vation into the hands of that Christ who is made justification unto us. Not that creeds are useless things, but their use is to embody our convictions vather than our faith, When the apostles say: “I know whom I have velieved,” he combines both. _ ‘Equally faulty is the confusion of Jaith with sight, which Phillips Brooks says he found a very common error. It is not unusual to find people who have been greatly bereaved by the death of their friends show unwilling- ness to frust God in the matter the least bit. They insist on knowing ex- actly why this should have befallen chem, and array their arguments against its wisdom as though they were in just as good a position as their Maker to judge of the matter. “Though He slay me, yet wili I trust (n Him,” is not what they even wish 20 be able to say. It is probably les common to find those who ask to see rather than to know in the matter of their own sal- vation. “I cannot believe,” an in- quirer said to Mr. Mdody. “Whom van you not believe?” was his pene- trating answer. Faith means trust- ing God in that matter. It is going be- yond what sight and kngwledge make possible to us. It is the child’s leap into his father’s arms, made in the dark often, and met by his father's firm grasp. Faith means venture. What we bave-learned by experience to be true is no longer a matter of faith, but of sight, of conviction, of eortainty. It is not a matter of faith with us that the earth will sustain us as we walk ‘opon it, but it may once have been ‘such in our infancy, if we had clear- ness of thought sufficient to deal with ‘that problem. When a boy has learied to swim, it ceases to be a matter of faith with him that the water will ‘bear him up, but it was so at the fontset of his learning. And as the baby trusts itself to the ground and ‘trusts himself to God, by an act of ‘volition, by an act of conrage, at a ete! Eliminate these elements. and you have eliminated the essentials jof faith. You may have left a cal- ‘culating pridence, or a-doctrinal spec- ulation, or a pious emotion, but not faith. ‘And as the Christian life begins in faith, in trusting and believing God, so it goes on in faith, says the Sunday School Times. We are sanctified by ‘ait, not less than justified by it. Our Saviour cannot do many mighty works in us if our unbelief hinders Him in working. We have to trust Him as hating our sins, desiring to set us free from our sins, and able to cleanse us from them. It is in this faith that we pray for greater holiness, for growth in likeness to His own holiness, for the grace of charac- ter which shall displace our habitual wrong-doings. For these things + are authorized to pray without any re- serves, as they are declared to be the will of God for us. It is this which forbids us to rest in our imperfection. as though that were a law of life for us instead of being just an ugly fact of life. Whether sinless perfection, as some think, is attainable in this life, or, a3 others believe, is to be the crown of the life-long process of sanctification, is not the question here. tm elther view, the seeking for all the holiness we are capable of is the Carls. | - SL.

We deplore our sins, we ask for help to overcome them, and we go about our life and its works without any faith that the prayer had been answered. We know it was right in itself, and that we really wanted what we asked for. We know that without the help we asked, sin will continue to rule in our mortal bodies. Yet we do not really expect the help to be given, and still less do we believe that it has been given. So we find ourselves just where we were, and begin the same prayers over again, and to just as little purpose. Where has the fail- ure been? Not in God, surely! Not in the grace and willingness of Jesus Christ to save us and all His people from their sins.’ It has been In us. God’s hands of giving have been stretched out to us with the gift we asked, but no hand of faith in us went out to grasp it. We did not believe that our prayers were answered, and we were left as powerless against the evil thing as before, * ‘The prayer for sanctification is the prayer to be “filled with the Spirit” of Jesus Christ. When we offer that, as Mr. Meyer says, we are not to look for any outburst of emotion as, evi- dence, but to wait humbly upon God. believe that He is going to keep His word with us, and then go forth reck- oning that He has done so. All- that is personal trust in Him; ‘anything that comes “short of it is less than faith. Let us no longer doubt either His abiiity or His willingness. THE EVIL OF SWEARING.

We believe that profanity would di- minish if the fact could be made clear to men that cursing fs actually harm- ful to them as individuals here, as well as an offense against abstract morality, says Smith’s Weekly. Instead of adding force to man’s language, oaths weaken speech. ‘The man who swears lacks force of thought to express his meaning: and ‘the yery fact that he does swear proves his mental weakness. Young men who resort to profanity wheen deeply moved simply and delib- erately check tHeir own progress. ‘They show lack of dignity, earn the contempt of those very persons whose admiration would gratify them.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publ- cation. (4) More bona fide 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. 69 T. B. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Stands for Human Liberty. Parker is already defeated, and he knows it. Elections in the southern democratic states are huge swindles. President Roosevelt has the people with him and that's why he'll win. Democratic newspapers publish column upon column of matter slandering the Afro-Americans. Rally on the center; touch elbows; clutch arms; charge all along the line, and victory is ours. The southern democrats always dominate in the national democracy. Pitchfork Tillman would rule in case of Parker's election. Do not be overconfident. It takes votes to win an election. See that your friends and neighbors register and vote for Rooseveit and Fairbanks. No victory was ever won without a battle; remember that, and fight for Roosevelt and Fairbanks from now until the polls close November 8. Black men, before you vote the democratic ticket, remember that the people who burn your brothers at the stake in the south are democrats. The democratic party has never had any fixed principles or policies. It has ever been the blind instrument of every bad element that might for the time being uppermost or seem to promise party success. The democrat of the south say that the Afro-American is unfit to travel in first-class cars, and they have passed laws providing special "Jim Crow" cars for his accommodation. No republican legislature has ever passed a separate car law. M. B. POLITICAL PREACHER AND EX-POLITICIAN. The above represents a man that is fearless, so long as he knows that he is right. He has been in politics for 26 years, and in 1893 he entered the ministry under our good and beloved pastor and presiding elder, Rev. G. H. Schaffer, and in 1895 he joined the Missouri conference, and in May, 1893 he had charge of St. Paul's church in the absence of its regular pastor; Rev. C. T. Cottman, for two months, and since that time he has tried to preach whenever called upon. Two years later he had charge of the same church in the absence of its pastor, the late Rev. C. W. Preston. Later he preached at Theodore Roosevelt will be our next president. * Every Negro in St. Louis ought to read The Palladium. The Afro-American are with Roosevelt because he is with them. Backward glances into history bring no joy to the democratic heart. 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. Democrats will get farther when the voters decide to weigh promises instead of records. 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. "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. 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. 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. 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. Kirkwood, Mc., at Mt. Olive chapel, for seven months. He was then stationed at St. John's mission, at 5400 North Broadway, for two years. He met with success in all places. He still holds his membership in the Missouri conference. Of late years he has spent all his time in managing the St. Louis Palladium, with Miss Katie Johnson, edirress. It is a well-know fact that the evil doers fear The Palladium man. He will report to his good bishop, and the Missouri conference next Wednesday, as he stands ready to obey the man of God. We are striving to do our work in the spirit with which Lincoln approached his.—President Roosevelt's Letter of Acceptance. In the Philippines the Republicans are showing what they have done with conditions. The Democrats are still wrestling with a theory. 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 neophile 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. Careful perusal of Democratic speeches this year fails to disclose any inspired orator who is claiming that wheat and silver always maintain a parity. Kansas banks have $100,000,000 on deposit, almost as much as the amount of mortgage foreclosures in the State during the last Democratic administration. David B. Hill declares that "President Reeveelt is a fraud." Hill could not have done the President a greater service if he had been hired for the purpose. Tom Watson can not understand why Democratic leaders should curse Kim because he preaches the same doctrines they were advocating only four years ago. No Democratic orator, not even Bourke Cockran, has revived that old cry "the tariff is a tax" which at one time deceived the voters of the nation, to their sorrow. David B. Hill announces his intention to retire from politics and public life on January 1. He is determined, apparently, to stay a couple of months longer than Parker and Davis. The Democratic plea that the country needs "a change" might be more effective if the country did not remember the disastrous results that followed the last trial of Democratic theories. It is announced that Senator Tillman and Governor Vardaman are both going to make speeches in the North. It is difficult to understand what the Republicans have done to deserve such luck. Senator Davis compares present expenditures with those under Buchanan. Would Senator Davis bring about the industrial and financial conditions under which Buchanan wrote his famous message in 1857? Judge Parker has made it plain, in a letter over his own signature, that a vote for him is an endorsement of Erving Winslow and the group of malcontents in Boston who favor a scuttle policy in the Phillipines. President Roosevelt declares that it is cowardly to shrink from the problems that have been developed in the Philippines. The Democrats condemn the President for refusing to be a coward. 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. American workmen are so well employed that it is very difficult to find the recruits necessary for the army and navy. Recruiting officers probably remember the Democratic administration when idle men fought for the opportunity to enlist. There was a time when the N. Y. Evening Post declared that Judge Parker would be unfit ever to be President because of his agreement to a nullification of the Constitution and national laws. Above all things, Judge Parker seems to be a Master of Arts in the science of expediency. 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 whole question of unionism is put into a nutshell by President Roosevelt when he says, "We recognize the organization of capital and the organization of labor as natural outcomes of our industrial system, which is to be granted the full protection of the law and which in turn is to be held to a strict objection to the law." 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. Good Advice If you are troubled with kinky or curly hair, use Ozonized Ox Marrow.

Don't forget the grand opening of the Masonic hall, 18 South Tenth street, Monday, October 3. All are invited. When passing behind a street car look out for the car approaching from the opposite direction. Let us republicans get together and vote the straight ticket. William Cross is a staunch republican and he is putting in hard licks for the party. Prof. C. G. Williams, of Boonville, Mo., and committeeman-at-large, is working hard. Prof. J. H. Pelham, of Hannibal, Mo., is taking an active part in politivs for Roosevelt and Walbridge. Mr. Chas. Covington is making a hard fight for the success of the republican party. The old fellow is now in line. In place of a few would-be-great-sitting around the state republican headquarters, let them get out and do something. Mr. Chas. Turner, who was active in the political field six years ago, has come to the front. We anticipate a lively time for the next thirty days. The Palladium man is and has been for Col. Walbridge for 20 years. Turner & Wheeler are well acquainted with Col. Walbridge, and we know his worth. We believe that the best men should be put in lead. The Palladium stands for Charles Turner. We have been friends for years, and we know his worth. Hon. Champ Clark's defeat in 1895 was due to the canvassing of Mr. Chas. Turner in Montgomery, Wellsville, Brunswick and Sturgeon. Chas. Turner is a wheelhorse in politics. Let the good work go on. Now is the time for every man to come to the front as we see plainly what the object of the democrats is in the south. They are at present beginning to annul the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments of the constitution. Any Negro who respects his wife, mother or sister should think twice in this election.

Wheeler has canvassed the state with him and let him be placed in charge of all that pertains to the Negrc—as he and they are well acquainted with Aunt Hager's children. We have known C. P. Walbridge for the past twenty-five years, always as a true, unfinishing republican. During all that time we have never had cause to doubt his republicanism nor his worth as a business man. Long before he ever held a political office he displayed his worth as a true friend. Walbridge was president of the city council and was just and upright to all, regardless of color. When he was elected mayor of our city his administration was clear and business-like, and under his reign there were more Negrees employed then ever since. Let the republicans gather together and stand for the whole ticket. THE TICKET. Governor—Cyrus P. Walbridge of St. Louis. Lieutenant Governor—John C. McKinley of Punam county. Treasurer—Jacob F.

Begs LET EVERY NEGRO RALLY In 1863 4,000,000 slaves weré eman- cipatedé by the American people, through the republican party, after four years of war, which caused some of the best people to fll untimely graves. In December, 1865, the thir- teenth amendment to the constitution, forever prohibiting slavery on amer- ican soil, went into effect, ahd it was ‘through the republican party. Tn July, 1868, the fourteenth amend- ‘ment, granting civil \rights to Negroes, ‘was proclaimed a part of the consti- tution of the. United States. This Measure was fought by the democrats ‘in congress, / In February, 1869, the fifteenth amendment was adopted, and referred i. the states, an@ in March the same was ratified by three-fourths of the ‘states, and went into effect. Every ‘measure adopted for the protection of Nesro manhood has been fought by the democratic: party. President Grant said that if this gov- ‘ernment was powerful enough to free the Negroes, it was then powerfrl enough to protect them, if it took a soldier at every door. In 1879 specie payment was re- sumed ynder 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 im this world, as well as to point out the way to the life everlasting, In the present campaign it is the duty of every Afré-American preacher who has the true interests of his race at heart to explain to his people the is- sues as they affect the Afro-American He should show that the democratje party has always been the bitter foe of the race, and has invariably opposed every méasure proposed by the repub- Mean party to better the rave’s-con- dition. At the close of every sermon it would be well to have a short-heart-to-heart ak 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 Par- ker; but as all our people are not sensible, let the preacher stand upon the watch-tower and warn them of the danger. An oecastonal communication to a local’ press, telling why the people should vote for Roosevelt and Fair- banks, will do great good, provided the article is short and to the point. Every minister of intelligence is well informed. regarding the present pottca situation, and he should lead his people rightly. | If this is done, victory will be ours an Stiie: au Ge Noveinkien ach Next Week a Great Sensation in The Palladium.

SISTER SHIP OF LOUISIANA The Connecticut, When Finished, Will Be the Finest and Most Powerful Bont in the New York, Sept. 30.—Although successfully launched Thursday, the battleship Connecticut did not have her bottle of wine broken by Miss Alice B. Wells, who had been selected as sponsor for the ship. She threw the bottle at the bows as the ship began to move off the ways, but it failed to break when it struck the vessel's side. Secretary of the Navy Morton and Rear-Admiral Rodgers stood beside Miss Wells. Rear-Admiral Rodgers attempted to grasp the bottle as it rebounded, but failed, and the ship was moving off into the water, when a workman on the dock seized the string that held the bottle, and dashed the glass receptacle of the champagne against the side of the ship, shattering it to pieces, to the relief of the superstitious. This was the only variation of the prearranged plan, despite the many sensational stories of attempts to do the vessel damage. The navy yard was crowded, it being estimated that almost 30,000 persons witnessed the launching. Every point of vantage was occupied. Stands for invited guests had been erected about the big red hull, and outside of those was a fence behind which the majority of visitors were kept. Soon after 11 o'clock the cautionary flag was run up on the huge crane over the bow, and a few raintimes later the warning to "get away" was given, and to the accompaniment of creaking timbers, booming guns, sirens and whistles, the big red hull slid into the water at 11:16. It took just 26 seconds for the Connecticut to clear the ways After the launching, several hundred guests were entertained at luncheon at the officers' club, at which Secretary Morton was the guest of honor. A reception was also held at the naval branch of the Y. M. C. A. where 1,000 were entertained. Miss Helen M. Gould received. Secretary Morton and Gov. Chamberlain were cheered by the men as they entered the building, and both made short informal speeches. SENATOR HOAR IS DEAD End Came Peacefully Early Friday Morning to the Distinguished Massachusetts Senator. Worcester, Mass., Sept. 30.—George Frisbie Hoar, senior United States senator from Massachusetts, died at his home in this city at 1:35 o'clock Friday morning. The end followed a period of unconsciousness that had continued since early Tuesday, and came so gently that only the attending physicians were aware of the exact moment of dissolution. The attending physicians despaired of the senator's life six weeks ago, but such was the vitality exhibited by their distinguished patient that even they were surprised, and the public was at times led to cherish a faith in ultimate recovery. On Sunday last, however, all hope was abandoned after a last unsuccessful attempt to administer medicine and nourishment. Brief lucid intervals were followed by longer durations of unconsciousness until Tuesday morning, when the venerable statesman sank into a state of coma, from which all efforts to arouse him proved futile. A MURDER COMES TO LIGHT Body of Young Girl Found Near Yankton, S. D.—Tramps are Acused of the Crime. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 30.—A special to the Pioneer Press from Yankton, S. D., says: A foul murder came to light Thursday when the body of a young Menonite girl was found 14 miles west of Yankton. She has been missing for several days, and searching parties had been hunting for her. Her body was discovered near the border of lands belonging to the Bon Homme Menonite society. Her mouth was stuffed with grass and soil, evidently to prevent entry. Her clothing was almost slipped from her, and she had been terribly mistreated. Suspicion rests on three tramps who were seen in the neighborhood during the day. Tracks of three men were found near the body. Craiger Des Moines Accepted. Washington, Sept. 30.—The navy department has accepted the protected cruiser Des Moines, now attached to the European squadron. This vessel was built at Quincy, Mass., and fell a litte short of meeting the complete contract requirements in the matter of speed. Watson Confined to His Room. Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 30.—Thomas E.

THE JAPANESE CAPTURE DA PASS Offensive Movements Resumed on Kuropatkin's Left. Kuropatkin May Decide to Give Battle in the Country to the Northwest of Mukden -- Some Sharp Fighting Expected. St. Petersburg, Sept. 29. 5:20 p. m. —News has been received here from Mukden to the effect that the Japanese have at last begun the offensive. They have captured Da pass, and are pressing on Gen. Kuropatkin's left flank. The war office is unable to confirm this officially, because Kuropatkin's dispatches are in the hands of the emperor, but the general staff say that all indications point to the news being correct. It is believed the Russians abandoned Da pass without serious resistance. Several other passes of the Darange, eastward of Bentsiaputze, (20 miles southeast of Mukden) are also in the hands of Japanese. Kuropatkin is evidently drawing in his forces to the less mountainous country northwestward, where he may decide to give battle. In the meanwhile sharp fighting is regarded as imminent southeast of Mukden, whence the Japanese are expected to deliver their main attack, the flank movement from the west being of secondary importance. Da pass, or Ta pass, meaning Great pass, is situated about 45 miles southeast of Mukden and about the same distance northeast of Liao Yang. It is about 25 miles south of the Hun river. The Japanese attacked Da pass, which was occupied by the troops of Generals Mistchenko and Samsonoff, on September 24, but according to dispatches from Harbin were twice repulsed. NOTHING FROM PORT ARTHUR. The Desperate Straits of the Garrison is Fully Realized. St. Petersburg, Sept. 30.—The war office has had no news from Port Arthur, but the officials say they do not discredit the reports from Che Foo that the garrison is in desperate straits. Fighting is going on constantly and the garrison is being exhausted by its constant defense of the city. The isolation of the city is now admitted to be complete, as the Japanese have established a naval cordon which Chinese junks, in the role of blockade runners, can not pass. No food-laden junks have reached the city for several days and this condition is sure to throw the garrison into gloom. However, the Russians are making the siege costly to Japan in men, and thousands more will have to fall before the city yields. The terrible stench from the unburied dead, it is feared, will spread disease anong the defenders. PRETTY EVENLY MATCHED. The Impending Battle Will See Half a Million Men in Action. Rome, Sept. 30. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Italia Militaire reports that in the impending battle of Mukden, Gen. Kuropatkin will have a force equal, if not superior, to that of the enemy. The Russian force will be 250,000 men (with 800 guns), of which 60,000 are in Sminting and 12,000 along the Hun. The rest of the army faces south from Mukden. Beside there are 10,000 Russians in Tieling. The Japanese force is estimated at 250,000 men, with 1,000 guns. JAPANESE CONSCRIPTION. Increase Fighting Force 200,000. Tokio, Sept. 23.—10 n. m.—The emergency ordinance amending the army conscription law was gassett today. It extends the service of the second reservists from five to ten years and abolishes the distinction between the first and second reserve conscripts. Reservists will be retired at the age of 37. A contemplated increase in the army involves a new scheme of divisional organization, the plan of which has not yet been disclosed. *At the foreign office it was stated that the new conscription regulations will augment the available Japanese fighting force by about 200,000 men.

This is a neat and effective trick to perform before a company of men, women and children, from whom you can borrow the few materials you need. These are a silver half dollar, a large wire hairpin, a heavy ring and a long hatpin, or "stickpin." Bend the hairpin into the shape shown in the picture. Force the half dollar into the narrow hook on one end of the hairpin, which hook you have pinched well together so that it will grip the coin tightly, and hang the ring on the other, more open hook. Now balance the coin at a point near its edge and in line with the two hooks on the point of the hatpin, which you hold vertically in your left hand. You can always make it balance on some point, but to make the trick effective the pin should be very near the NEEDLE COIN AND RING. edge of the coin, so if the ring is not very heavy you may have to borrow another one and slip it in the hook beside the first. Or you can use a light ring and substitute a quarter for the half dollar. Now, if you blow against the ring the whole affair will turn on its pivot, and by giving a good puff every time the ring comes round you can make it spin very fast and keep on spinning a long time. If the hatpin is very sharp and of very hard steel it will gradually bore a hole in the coin. Indeed, it is possible to bore clear through a soft coin in this way. Of course you should practice this trick before you try it in public. Then, if the ring is a brass one and the coin your own, you can give your merry-go-round to the youngsters, who will have lots of fun with it.—Chicago Inter Ocean. DON LOVED HIS MISTRESS. Don was very unhappy when I was out of sight. His cage was hung at first in a glass conservatory, where he had sunshine, flowers and two canary birds for company. But he did not care for them. He wanted something else. He was silent and moping. So the loving little bird was made happy by being placed in my room upstairs. It was wonderful how soon he learned to distinguish my step. Often his clear, sweet tune could be heard pouring from his dainty throat. Or perhaps he was silent. It was all the same. The instant my step sounded in the hall below or on the stairs, the whistle ceased, or the silence was broken. "Come he-ere, come he-ere, come he-ere!" was the eager cry. Of course I always'did "come he-ere." And then the delight of the dear little fellow was touching. Down he jumped to the door of his cage post-haste. Then, puffing out like a ball, he bowed right and left, dancing to and fro as if wound up to run for hours. And such a sweet piping as there was, too! But he never played about the room when I was away. He was too sorrowful for that. His favorite haunt, next to my head or shoulders, was my bureau. He loved to hop all over it; but he loved best of all to mount the big, fat pinchushion. It was such fine fun to pull out the pins and drop them on the bureau scarf. Sometimes he carried them to the edge of the bureau and dropped them on the floor. One day I bent the point of a large pin and twisted it well into the cushion. It was rather naughty, to be sure, but I wished to see what Don would do about it. The other pins came out and were dropped as usual. Then came the "tug of war." The poor little bird pulled and pulled, and tugged and tugged. The big pin moved, but did not come out. He put his head on one side and eyed it severely. He was not one of the "give up" sort. He had made up his mind to conquer that pin. He worked very hard for at least ten minutes. Then the plaintive "Come he-ere, come he-ere!" rang out. I waited to see what he would do next. And what do you think? He thought a little, then mounted the DON IN HIS CAGE. cushion again, and whistled and danced to that obstinate pin. But it stayed right where it was. Then he seized it once more, and tugged so hard that his tiny feet slipped and he sat right down. Next he got up and stared at it, then hopped to the edge of the bureau and called again: "Come he-ere, come he-ere!" I could not tease him any longer, and went to the rescue The moment that pin was loose, Don seized it with a happy chuckle. Hopping to the back part of the bureau, he dropped the pin down between it and the wall. It was in disgrace, you know. One day the dear little fellow had been very busy indeed. The cushion had been freshly filled with pins. That gave him a great deal of work to do, of course. The pins had all to be carried to the edge of the bureau and dropped overboard. That task finished, he went into his house to get his 'dinner.' I went to work to pick up the pins, telling Don that he was a naughty bird to make me so much trouble. It seemed as if he understood every word. At once he stopped eating his seeds, came out and peeped at me over the edge of the bureau. Then down he came, making steps of my head, shoulder and arm until he reached the floor. And there the dear little bird hurried around with all his might, picking up the pins. He flew up to the cushion, laid them down and came back for more, until they were all gathered up. Then he sat on my chair, whistled his tune and finally went to sleep.-Helen Harcourt, in St. Nicholas. HOW THE FROG ORIGINATED Came Into Being Because a Weary, Thirsty Woman Was Prevented from Getting a Drink. Did you ever hear how frogs originated? It is a queer story, but then it happened a long time ago, when the world was young and all sorts of queer things were happening. We can, of course, believe as much or as little of such stories as we please, but at least they entertain us. Now as to the frogs, they came into being because a weary, thirsty woman was prevented from getting a drink of water. Here is the way the story is told: Latona was a beautiful goddess, who lived with the other goddesses and gods on Mt. Olympus, where Jupiter and Juno reigned, as you know. She was distinguished for many things, but chiefly for being the mother of Apollo and Diana. It seems that she incurred the ill will of Juno in some way and was banished from Olympus, with no place to put her foot and no shelter for her weary head, for Juno had made Terra, the earth, promise that she should not find rest anywhere. Neptune, the god of the sea, however, took pity on the banished goddess and invited her to the Isle of Delos, which then floated under the water but rose to the surface at his command. There she found peace and comfort and brought up her two famous children, Apollo to become the god of the sun and Diana the goddess of the moon. But perhaps you are wondering what all this has to do with the frogs. It is said that one day while Latona was wandering desolate and weary with her children, while they were yet babies, she came to a pool of clear, sparkling water. Half dying with thirst, goddess as she was, she ran toward the pool to drink some of the cool water, but a crowd of ugly yokels surrounded it and kept her away. She had up to this time borne her privations and sufferings with patience and resignation, but at this act of wanton cruelty her patience gave way and turning furiously on the yokels she turned them all into croaking frogs, which they have remained to this day.

Pinkham's Vegetable HOUSEHOLD I: Produces the Most Effective and Most Rapid Results in Embroidery Known. Ribbon work is supposed to be difficult and tedious. The reason for this is that it was introduced by the shops that supply elaborately designed pieces of embroidery to their patrons, in patterns combined with embroidery and with tiny gros grain ribbon in pale tints manufactured for the purpose. The patterns were of the Louis XV and Louis XVI type, and the effect of the heavy garlands and elaborate stitching was certainly extremely beautiful and well worth the long and tedious work which it necessitated, but the patience and close application the large, intricate pieces required acted as a deterrent to the majority of workers, who wish quick results and easy methods. Ribbon work, however, is really easy and produces the most effective and most rapid results in embroidery known. With RIBBON EMBROIDERY DESIGN. very narrow white linen braid it makes a durable and effective trim- ming on colored linens, and with nar- row satin "baby" ribbon it will give an elaborate finish to a dinner or ball gown. The New, York Tribune says that a running pattern of bowknots and flowers, with the stems and tendrils put in with embroidery silk or linen floss, according to the kind of ribbon employed, is the easiest and prettiest. Trace a design something in the character of the example given with a hard penell lightly on the material. The bowknots are laid on with the braid or ribbon, gathering the latter on one side to make the required turns. When the flat work is finished thread a darning needle with the narrow flat ribbon or braid and make the leaves. This is done by taking one stitch of the length required and then turning in the edges to make a sharp point at one end, shaping the leaf with the fingers to the rounded end, which is attached to the stem by an embroidery stitch. Round flowers may be made either by gathering the ribbon to a point and sewing on the little round disk, or, as in the case with daisies, making the petals by one lipg stitch like the leaves. The running design given in the illustration has been carried out on pale green linen with flat, narrow white linen braid with excellent effect. A CHICAGO GIRL'S SECRET. She Says That Swiss Worn Over White Wash Silk Has the Effect of Organdy. "Where did you get that exquisite organdie waist?" asked a girl the other way of a friend who wore a dainty creation that buttoned up the back with tiny lace buttons. "I'll let you into the secret," said the friend. "It is not a particularly fine organdie or swiss, rather, for it is swiss, which washes better than the organdy—but it looks so, because I wear it over the thinnest kind of a white wash silk blouse, which is made plainly, but along the same lines. This gives the swiss a cloudy, filmy and kind of billowy effect, that makes it look like chiffon. It throws up' each little thread of the lace trimming, so that it appears like something costly instead of the ordinary wash valenciennes, which it is. And it gives a soft effect to the skin. "The lining, too, saves the swiss, so that by washing it out in the wash bowl and pressing it when nearly dry the waist itself can be worn two or three times without doing up. Besides all this, instead of having to lay the whole thing away this fall, I intend to wear it with the lining all winter. Try it yourself." added the girl, generously, "but be sure and get the softest and lightest silk possible, as a more expensive quality will not mix so artistically with the waist fabric and look so much like a part of it." —Chicago Tribune. Throw Physic to the Dogs. "It is safe to say," declared a physician, "that one-half of the women are simply starving for fresh air, and if they would throw away their pill bottles and headache powders and exercise freely in the open air for at least two hours daily, they would feel like new women at the end of a year. Nature cannot be cheated, nor can impaired forces be restored by swallowing medicine every time warning pain and illness overtake the offender. A busy woman may be compelled to neglect some duty or pleasure for a time in order to obtain the outdoor exercise, but under the circumstances it will be excusable, and in the long run she will make up for it because of increased bodily vigor."—Boston Herald. THE SUNDAY BIBLE SCHOOL Lesson in the International Series for October 2, 1904—"Elisha Succeeds Elijah." (Prepared by the "Highway and Byway" Preacher.) 11. Kings 2:12-22; Memory verses, 12-14) 12. And Elijah saw it, and he cried: My Father, my Father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him so more, and he took hold of his own clothes and rent them in two pieces. 13. He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan. 14. And he took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and sailed to woven his said: Where is the Lord Goa of Elijah? And when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither; and Elijah went over. 15. And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said: The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elijah. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him. 16. And they said unto him: Behold now, there be with the prophets fifty strong men; they go, we pray thee, and seek thy master, per adventure, the Spirit of the Lord hath him into, and cast him upon some mountain into some valley. And he said: Ye shall not send 17. And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said: Send. They sent there therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not. 18. And when they came again to him (for he tarried at Jericho), he said unto them: Do I not say unto you: Go not? 19. And a man of the city said unto Elisha: Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth; but the water is naught, and the ground barren. 20. And he said: Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him. 21. And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said: Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land. 22. So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha who wrote: SCRIPTURAL SECTION.—The entire chapter, with a review of Elisha's call in I Kings 19:16, 19:21.

The prophet is ministry extended through about fifty years. PLACE--The scene of Elijah's translation and at Jericho. Beginning of a Great Mission. Beginning of a Great Mission. The Place of Enduement.—Elisha was destined to fill the place of a great prophet, and our lesson to-day introduces us to the initial events in his career, which are preparatory to and prophetic of the future success of his mission. If Elisha were to fill Elisha's place he must be endued with Elisha's spirit. The disciples to perform the Lord's service must wait for enduement of power, for the descent of His Spirit (Acts 1: 8, 2: 1-4). The servant of the Lord to-day must wait for the power and inspiration which will equip for service. What had brought Elisha here? The place of such enduement is always marked by (1) Watchfulness. Elisha watched. (2) Revelation. Elisha saw the presence and glory of God as Elisha was snatched from earth to Heaven, and it quickened his heart to a new consciousness of God and His power. The soul that watches eagerly and persistently will be rewarded with a revelation of God which will thrill the whole being and call into life new capabilities and create new possibilities. The Place of Testing—The place of testing always lies just beyond the place of enduement. Elisha in the wilderness beyond Jordan gazing up into the heavens, would never prove an efficient or worthy successor of Elijah. The too-long gazing up into Heaven needs Divine rebuke (Acts 1:1). Elisha must return, and in the pathway of the return lay the broad, unfordable Jordan, the Place of Testing. All that he had was the bare word of the prophet and the mantle of Elijah, which was the evidence of Elijah's departure. The testing was for the double purpose of revealing to Elisha himself and to the sons of the prophets gazing from the hills of Jericho the fact that Elijah's spirit had descended upon Elisha. "Elisha went over"—the place of enduement and the place of testing were just behind, but the place of discipline lay before him. The Place of Discipline.—For three days while the willful, unbelieving students of the college pursued their fruitless search, Elsiah waited at Jericho. Those were days of discipline. While the search was on for Elijah, Elsiah must wait, and waiting is the most trying kind of discipline. The Place of Service.—And now we come to the place of service. Endement, testing, discipline and at last service. The discipline ended, Elisha finds his position strengthened in the city. Doubtless during those three days there was much discussion in the city of Elijah's disappearance, which tended to advertise Elisha. People got to discuss the miraculous events of the past few days and as a result faith in Elisha increased. Then came the opportunity of service. The men of the city came making request that the noxious waters might be healed. Here was a call to service. But why salt to cure the brackish waters? "Like cures like" has long been a familiar saying. The use of salt suggests God's method of heiling the world's sin. The shedding of blood to cleanse the crimson stains of sin. Death to cure death.

Probably no letter in the whole world in all time has been traveling for so long as that of the class of '44 of Yale college. Some 50 years ago some of the members undertook to keep a letter circulating, each man receiving it adding whatever he considered would interest the others, and when the epistle got around to him again, removing his previous effort and replacing it with a new one. So the letter went on its endless way year after year, and today it is still moving, telling to the aged men who are left of the class of '44 what their fellows are doing, of their successes and disappointments, of deaths, too often, as the class dwindles away before the ruthless hand of time. Not all the survivors are members of the chain, but the letter-writers are so well distributed that almost all the classmates are heard from and hear the news contained in the letter—Albany Argus. Searchlights in Balloona. Russia is experimenting with giant searchlights mounted in balloons and containing electric burners connected with dynamos on the ground. She is also introducing tall observation towers put together out of sections distributed among the men while on the march. In their drills with these a squad of 60 men can erect complete structures in 20 minutes, thus enabling the officers in command to survey a much wider extent of territory than would be possible without these devices. The Prussians already have an excellent system of army balloons with photographic and other equipments, and in this particular take the lead of all the European nations. — Chicago Tribune. Primitive Weapons. It is perhaps not generally known that the defense of Peking is still largely intrusted to men armed only with bows and arrows. A recent imperial decree solemnly directs that those who "succeed in hitting the target with their arrows on horseback five times be given" such and such rewards, while those who manage to hit the mark four times on foot and once on horseback and four times on foot only shall be proportionately recompensed. The decree concludes with a list of the presidents and tallyists appointed for archerycompetitions which are still to take place.—N. Y. Tribune. Defeat. His regiment had been ordered out, and he was saying a fond farewell to the girl he would soon leave behind him. "But," said he, striving to take a cheerful look ahead, "after it is all over we will return as conquerors, marching to strains of victorious music and triumphant trumpet blasts, and waving our tattled batter flags—er—I mean our flattered battle tags—no—" "You mean battled flatter tags—" And then they gave it up.—Puck.

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 hats 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. "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. Helping Hand Society. Organized in May, 1903, this organization has been of much success to the members of that order, also others that were found in need. Mrs. Ethel Kimble, 2739 Laclede avenue, president; Mrs. Kate Johnson, 4262 Sacramento avenue; vice-president, Mr. F. Arbuckle, 2623 Papin street, secretary; Mr. Charles H. Athle, 3527 Scott avenue, treasurer. Anyone of good health and good character can be a member for 50 cents, at 2739 Laclede avenue. Meetings every first Tuesday in the month. Orders and societies are just what men and women make them, and they may accomplish great good. PALLADIUM MAN. Next week we will pay our attention to some of our so-called high-toned girls, who are on the street from 7 o'clock p. m. till 11:30, or have some boys or men sitting around their homes till 12 p. m., then claim to be of the bon ton class. Watch out! The Palladium man is an owl. Messrs. Wright & Bolen have opened a drug store at 2333 Market street. These two gentlemen thoroughly understand the drug business. They are graduates of Howard university, of Washington, D. C. They are polished 'gentlemen, and ask the patronage of the public. They were formerly with the Harris & Mosby drug store. We have stopped free-dolings in the paper. Since the World's fair we have received hundreds of locals concerning coming guests, and those who are here. The senders undoubtedly expect the articles to be published free gratis. Through investigation it has often been discovered that the senders are neither subscribers of The Palladium, nor do they even bear a friendly attitude toward it. Any locals not accompanied by a compensation, will find their way into the waste basket. B. B. HALL, Tennessee Shaving Parlor Everything Neat, Clean and Up-to-date. 1326 Morgan Street, ST. LOUIS, MO.
