ST.LOUIS PALLADIUM Harry M. Coudrey for Congress. Election November 8, 1904 Vol. XX. No. 44. Harry M. N BISHOP A. GRANT. MISSOURI CONFERE It Was Held at Poplar Bluff, Mo., Largely Attended. MISSOURI CONFERENCE. It Was Held at Poplar Bluff, Mo., and Was Largely Attended. The Missouri conference met October 5. at Poplar Bluff, Mo. Bishop A. Grant called the conference to order Never in the history of the Missouri conference was there held in the first Episcopal district a meeting like the one just closed. From the first day to the close the best of feeling prevailed. There were several committees appointed and began work. The welcome address was delivered with best of greetings to all. Thursday morning, October 6, after the devotional exercise and the minutes of Wednesday's session were read, Rev. J. W. Wheeler and Rev. Thomas, of Arkansas, conference were introduced and took seats in the bar. The presiding elders made their reports which showed the spiritual and financial connection of the church was on the upward march. Presiding Elder J. D. Barkidale made a minute report of affairs of his district, and each elder was spoken of separately, starting with St. Paul, showing their money was $550. He spoke in the highest terms of Dr. D. P. Roberts, the pastor of St. Paul's chapel, St. Louis. Q. M. Next report was the Kansas City district which was indeed a well written report, and the same made its elders and the conference very glad. Next was the report of Rev. N. S. Buren, presiding elder of the Cape Girardeau district. This matchless leader and expansionist can be easily called the rough rider, for he has visited his district from one end to the other. He went into places where there were no church, but through God he succeed in building a mission for God. He spoke nigutely of every pastor and gave credit to whom credit is due in speaking of that worthy gentleman, W. S. Williams, who has done such a noble work. Next we come to St. James, pastored by the Napoleon of the district in the person of Rev. W. C. Williams. Here in real life is reproduced a scene in Grecian mythology, where the phoenix rises into new and grander life from the ashes of its funeral pyre. ONFERENCE. ar Bluff, Mo., and Was Attended. A. E. St. James, as if by magic touch, has arisen to the grandeur of an empire in herself, and shares with her pastor the love and plaudits of those who worship at her shrine." MONEY COLLECTED. By Trustees ..... $2,280 40 By Stewards ..... 1,176 10 For General Connection ..... 199 80 By Sunday School ..... 173 60 Charity ..... 50 00 In Treasury ..... 55 00 Grand Total ..... $3,934 90 The business of the conference was conducted in the most Christian and dignified spirit, every question put to our venerable bishop was answered in a minute in the most Christian way, so much so that men submitted as true embassadors of God. Bishop called upon Rev. A. Thomas, of Pine Bluff, Ark., to sing a song that he heard. Brother responded and sung with the spirit and understanding. Mrs. J. H. Collet represented her husband as agent for the Christian Record and other church books. Mrs. Collet is indeed a bright woman. We congratulate this lady for her business qualities. Mrs. E. Carter, of 631 Pine street, represented the Review that is published. Mrs. Carter is also full of business and is looking after her husband's business. Rev. C. N. Douglass, the pastor of St. James' church, in Poplar Bluff, his amiable wife and daughter, did much to entertain the conference. He was on the watch to accommodate the wants of the brethren. Mrs. Scruggs, his daughter, rendered much service to our good Bishop A. Grant. The Ladies' Mite Missionary Society, presided over by Mrs. C. N. Douglass and her daughter, Mrs. Scruggs, did a good work this year. Collected this year $95. Balance on hand $5. Grand total collected $100. So much for these good sisters. Rev. Edward R. Vaughn, our oblig- ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1904. ing secretary, was equal to the talk. With Rev. L. P. Duke, his assistant secretary, although a little bothered the first and second day, yet they got down to work on the third day. On Sunday our beloved bishop preached the ordination sermon, which was full of holy inspiration, and the brethren exclaimed in the midst of their joy, "Behold, this is none other than our God, and the gates of Heaven to our waiting souls. Rev. J. R. Renrom preached in the afternoon, and he stirred the hearts of many Christians and sinners. He is indeed a great preacher. At 7:30 Rev. H. S. Parks preached, and presented new thoughts and new ideas. He is a natural-born leader, and a prince among his people. Dr. Parks is a gifted pulpit orator and a close discerner of matters, and he is a wonderful preacher. Dr. D. W. Oaks, of North missouri conference, sang several songs and hymns with good grace. He is considered the sweet singer of Israel. Rev. W. B. Longe is a good singer. He comes next to Rev. D. W. Oaks. Rev. Longe is coming to the front. After adjournment, all was well. All stepped upon the car to go home, and all were characterized with that Christian bearing until we got to DeSoto, where a woman got aboard. It was at this time that the fun began. Three would-be preachers and this woman made more noise than a kennell of puppies mixed with young rats—the three would-be preachers and the one woman. We did not get the appointments, but few changes were made. Rev. Hawkins got the mission at Kansas City, Mo., and also got $25 to assist him. Rev. J. W. Wheeler got two missions, St. John and St. Luke, but no money. No members, but we hope to get there. Rev. Jesse Peck, pastor of Allen chapel, Kansas City, Mo., was taken sick at Poplar Bluff, during the conference, and was not able to attend conference but two days. We hope he is well at this writing. Mr. and Mrs. Moore, of Poplar Bluff, where we stopped, are a most excellent family of that place. We were most highly pleased. They are Baptists by profession. No. 808 Garfield avenue. Dr. Park is indeed a genuine prince that all took to. He is authority for any complicated question that may be asked. He is cool, logical and pointed. Few men will cross swords with him. Rev. Ransom is a good preacher. We studied him for five days and we have come to the conclusion that there is something on his mind. Rev. Brooks of the North Missouri conference is considered the theologian of the conference. Prof. Vernon, president of the Quindo college, is a reported and writer of men's thoughts. He deals in glittering fancies and past history of the ancient Greeks. We wish him success. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The men's meeting last Sunday afternoon was one of the strongest we have had for some time. We had with us Prof. Terrell, of Texas; Mr. G. W. Gentry, of Kentucky; Rev. Howard, of Washington, D. C., and Gen. Robt. Smalls, of Beaufort, S. C. Each one of them brought a message to us. The audience was deeply impressed as the grand old hero, Gen. Smalls, pleaded for the young men of the race to make the most of themselves. We wish that many more young men could have heard him. Several young ladies helped to swell the large attendance at the literary, Tuesday evening. An exceptional programme will be rendered next Tuesday evening, October 18. Lieut. Loving, leader of the Philippine constabulary band, will deliver an address. Come early: no admission fee. A few evening classes will be organized for men who are not able to attend the public night schools. A class in book-keeping has already been organized, meets Thursday evenings at 8 o'clock.

D., the noted lecturer of Denver, Col., after visiting the principal cities of the east, and the famous Tuskegee institute, studying in them the sociological arena, is in St. Louis for a month's visit at the World's fair. Dr. Lucas informs us that he has collected very important data, not only on the race problem, but the problem of the United States and the world—the upbuilding of the present generation, and matters pertaining to the healthy, intellectual and moral welfare of the incoming ones. While Dr. Lucas specializes in "Health and Heredity," attention is not so much given to the cures and patching of humanity in unhappiness, sickness and crime, as he does to the prevention of these conditions of degeneracy. He says: "The present young—the blood,—tissue and bone of the future rulers of this mundane sphere—should and will be given the greatest attention, whether at home, in the school or the church, and a part of the curriculum in the very near future will inform the child as to the essentials to health by a method wherein it will willingly and lovingly fulfill the whole unfoldment of body, mind and soul. Again, the graduate will known more, infinitely more, about the laws of transmitting their species. They now, and others, go into the world not knowing who to marry, when to marry or what mode of live to live after marriage. The result of such ignorance naturally follows, to wit, divorces, separation or living in a hell the balance of life here. "Now, Mr. Wheeler," said Dr. Lucas, who talked as though he were before a multitude of people, "you clearly see how reformers have been patching and patching—each, bless their souls, according to their vision—but it is not a fact to-day that the average child knows more about doing what it shouldn't do than it does about what it should do?" A pessimist? "Oh, no! I'm an optimist, and know that much has been done, but many of us are asleep, and an awakening is needed." "Oh, yes," exclaimed Dr. Lucas, as he was about to leave. "you may also say that I was welcomed at Tuskegee and the state normal at Montgomery, and surely the 1,000 students at the former institute are a credit not only to the Negro race, but to every race, for I hold that no being unfolds alone." We give below a few original sayings of Dr. Lucas: "I will think kindly of, speak kindly to and act kindly towards all life in the universe." "Our youths know much of bugs, flowers and animals, so little of self; yet we expect much of the future generation." "Life, when one lives it, is not a condition of sorrow, sickness or poverty, but the highest privilege such a being can attain—happiness. You can live it!" _____ "Get the best of everything, but do --- not allow anything to get the best of you." "Deadly germs? No! Wonderful consumers of burdened and neglected matter, these germs. Fit to receive, they come; in tune with self. No germ NEED, WILL or CAN infest you." "Conceived in ignorance, nurtured in passion's prison; born upon the bed of poverty and nursed upon the breast of fear, incredulity and superstition—these degenerate blending of human inertia—find way into the world and are tossed upon seas of adversity or linger in cec pools of consolation until the billows or calm is too much—then LAW places in a dungeon for life or upon a scaffold—at times a rope by opinion—a human being, made by God, for there is no other maker, and we look silently on in horror upon the injustice peperated, yet are not more thorough in the preventing of such conceptions." "I WILL every thought, word and deed my highest put in action." Dr. Lucas will not give any course of lectures in St. Louis during his special fair visit, but wishes hereby to inform every individual reader of this paper and their friends that they will be welcomed at any series they may have the opportunity of hearing on his two-year tour of the United States, beginning the first of 1905 in California.

Missouri State Gleanings. WANTS CASH INDEMNITY. Cold Cash, and Plenty of It, Required to Heal the Heart Wounds of Miss Gibney. Miss Edith Isabella Gibney, of St. Louis has entered two suits in the United States circuit court at Pittsburg to recover $50,000 damages in each case as the result of an alleged breach of promise to marry on the part of Klaus J. Steiner, son of Gottlieb Steiner, a retired iron manufacturer. One action is against Mr. Steiner for alleged breach of promise, and the other is against his father and three sisters, Eliza V. Steiner, Anna Margaret Steiner and Grace Elizabeth Steiner. They are accused of entering into a conspiracy with their father to induce Mr. Steiner to break his alleged engagement with Miss Gibney. Miss Gibney says that on July 28, 1903, while she was on a visit to the home of K. L. Steiner, Pittsburg, they became engaged, it being mutually understood that their marriage should be performed and consummated in June, 1904, but that at the proper time Steiner refused to carry out his agreement. In the suit against Mr. Steiner's father and his sisters, Miss Gibney says that they combined and confederated unlawfully to injure her and deprive her of the benefit of the contract of marriage, and in furtherance of their unlawful purpose "did falsely and maliciously persuade and induce Mr. Steiner to break the engagement." It is charged that they circulated false and defamatory rumors concerning her; that she was ignorant of good manners and polite society, and was of a "vixenish" temper. Miss Gibney says they also asserted that she was untidy. Shot Man Who Wronged Her. Myrtle Eberly, aged 18, shot and fatally wounded Edward Leonard in St. Louis. The girl showed no excitement and went to the police station of her own accord. She said the deed was premeditated, as Leonard had wronged her under pretense of marriage. Before Leonard died he told the physicians at the hospital that the girl was justified in her action. Dr. Hayden Again Escapes. Dr. James Hayden, who escaped from Lebanon, August 2, while a jury was making up a verdict, was caught near Nevada but again made his escape. Dr. Hayden was charged with assaulting a woman in Laclede county, and was fined a hundred dollars, and sentenced to six months in jail, but when the jury returned the verdict, he had disappeared. Old Settler Passes Away: George Burnett, said to have been the oldest settler in Lewis county, died at the residence of his son, W. J. Burnett, at Lewistown.

Notorious St. Louis Resort Consumed by Flames, Thought to Be Incendiary. The German Village, a two-story frame saloon, dance hall and rooming house in St. Louis county, just west of West End Heights, was totally destroyed by fire. The damage is estimated at $10,000. The origin of the fire is not known, although some of the attaches professes to believe that it was started by an incendiary. Ten persons were sleeping in the house at the time. All were aroused in time to escape, except Miss Emma Miller and Ruth Meyers, who were carried unconscious by Night Watchman George H. Simmers. The German Village was really a beer garden and dance hall, and had an unsavory reputation. While other ventures around the World's fair grounds have been conducted at a loss during the season, it has been immensely profitable. Crowds flocked to it every night, and it is said that the receipts were about $5,000 a week. Attorney-General Crow made an effort to have the place closed during his recent crusade in St. Louis county, but did not succeed. Fracas at World's Fair Grounds. In a fight which took place between twelve artillerymen encamped at the World's fair grounds and sixteen Jefferson Guards, Andrew McCune 57 years old, a gatekeeper, was shot in the groin, and C.

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. 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.

ER, Proprietor JAPANESE ADVANCE TOWARD MUKDEN General Forward Movement Along a Broad Front. RUSSIAN ADVANCE CHECKED Gen. Kuropatkin Admits That the Japanese Are Holding Their Own, and at Some Points Gaining a Little. Toklo, Oct. 12--3:30 p. m.--A general Japanese advance along a broad front, toward Mukden is progressing. A brigade of Russian infantry, with 2,000 cavalry and two guns, having the object of striking Gen. Kuroki's flank, crossed the Taitse river, October 9. The Japanese cut off the retreat of this force and possibly will capture it. The Russians are attacking Sien-Chuang, 30 miles northeast of Salmatsze (southeast of Liao Yang and almost due north of Feng-Wang-Cheng) evidently with the object of cutting off Japanese communications with the Yalu river. Tokio, Oct. 12--6 p. m.-Field Marshal Oyama reports that there was fighting along almost the entire front, October 10, that the Japanese are gaining ground and that the Russian attack on Sien-Chuang on the Hun river, 35 miles southwest of Mukden, was repulsed. Tokio, Oct. 12--8 p. m.-A battle (south of Mukden) raged uninterruptedly all of Tuesday and into the night. It was continued to-day. The results have not been decisive. The Russians have a heavy force on the Japanese right toward the Tulisse river, but it is believed that the Japanese have checked the Russian turning movement. BRITISH STEAMER CAPTURED. Was Attempting to Run the Port Arthur Blockade With Munitions. Tokio, Oct. 12.—5 p. m.—The British steamer Fu Ping, belonging to the Chinese Engineering & Mining Co., carrying munitions of war, was captured by the Japanese off Port Arthur. Admiral Hosoya, commanding the third squadron of the Japanese fleet, reports that at 11 a. m. to-day a wireless telegram was received from the guardship Otowa reporting that the Fu Ping was captured by the torpedo boat destroyer Shirataka. The Fu Ping, which was carrying a great quantity of munitions of war, the telegram from the Otowa said, was attempting to violate the blockade of Port Arthur. FIGHTING NORTH OF YENTAL. Gen. Sakharroff Reports a Desperate Battle in Progress. St. Petersburg, Oct. 13.—Gen. Sakharoff, telegraphing, Tuesday evening, confirms the reports of desperate fighting noth of Yental, where the heights were alternately held by the Russians and Japanese. Gen. Danieloff, who succeeded Generals Troussse and Romanoff in command of the Sixth Siberian rifles division, was wounded in the leg, but did not relinquish his command. The losses are not stated and, according to the latest advices, the battle is continuing. THE ATTACK WELCOME. The Japanese Said to Welcome the Russian Aggressive Move. Tokio, Oct. 12.—11 a. m.—Silence has been preserved at headquarters concerning the events around Liao Yang and Mukden. It is popularly reported that the Russian advance and attack is welcomed. Heretofore the Japanese have always been compelled to take the aggressive and openly assault the strongest works. The people believe that now that the conditions are reversed, the troops will speedily check the Russians, instancing Lieut-Gen. Count Keller's venture at Motien pass. Kuropatkin Admits That the Japp Are Holding Their Own. St. Petersburg, Oct. 13.—The battle below Mukden continues to rage along the entire front and, according to Gen. Kuropatkin's latest advices, sent Tuesday night, after the fighting of the day had ended, the Japanese were stubbornly holding their own, offering a desperate resistance, and had even advanced their positions. After an all-day fight above Yentai, where the Russians sustained their first check, the Japanese still held their position. The infantry practically was not engaged, the artillery bearing the brunt of the fighting. The Japanese stuck to their guns, and the Russian batteries were unable to dislodge them. Geronimo Returned to Fort Sill. Arkansas City, Kas., Oct. 13.-Geronimo, war chief of the Apaches, was taken from the Chilocco Indian school at Chilocco, Okla., Tuesday night, to Fort Sill, to be turned over to the officer in charge of Apache prisoners at that post. Eleven Hundred-to-One Dollar. New York, Oct. 13.-W. F. Dunham, a druggist of Chicago, was the purchaser of the United States silver dollar of 1804 which was put up at auction as the collectors' club Tuesday. The price paid was $1,109. According to the services received by the war office here, the Japanese hold intrenched lines extending in a semicircle north of Yental railroad station, erroneously reported to have been captured by the Russians. Thence they have a series of arc covering the Yental branch railroad, including the mines, whence their lines sweep southeastward toward the Taltse river, thus inclosing the mountainous region forming the triangle of their main positions. A Long-Range Opinion by Russian Army Officers. St. Petersburg, Oct. 13.—The view is held by many officers here that Kuropatkin's purpose is to crumple up the Japanese left, push them off eastward from the railroad, and then, if he can carry the Japanese triangle, compel them to retire in the directiona of the Yalu river, thus clearing the way through Liao Yang for possession of the railroad southward and possibly enabling Kuropatkin to relieve Port Arthur, which, as announced in the Russian general's order of the day, is his main objective. Still, the best-informed members of the general staff are inclined to think that the strategy of the battle must depend on the manner in which the engagement develops. It is pointed out that in the event of defeat, which Kuropatkin must constantly bear in mind, since the Japanese then will doubtless try to push through straight to Tie pass, it will be necessary for him to keep his heaviest battalions east. While it is now asserted that Gen. Kuropatkin enjoys a considerable numerical superiority, the main fear expressed is that this superiority is insufficient to enable him to carry out the big operations he has undertaken. Apprehension is caused by the Tokio dispatch saying that Field Marshal Oyama reports that he is gaining ground and has cut off a Russian column below the Taitse river. It is only natural after the reported reverses already suffered, that Russians fully realize how much Gen. Kuropatkin has staked on the assumption of the outcome. The battle now in progress undoubtedly will outweigh in importance the hard fight at Liao Yang. For Kuropatkin, victory in whole or part is necessary. Defeat would certainly spell ruin for his military reputation, and probably a disaster of the first magnitude to the Russian army. If the Japanese should roll up Kuropatkin's advance now, all hope of an aggressive Russian success in this campaign, or of the relief of Port Arthur, would be ended probably for this year, but Russian success now means a winter campaign and immensely enhanced prestige, not only for Kuropatkin personally, but for the Russian arms in Manchuria, in the eyes of the Chinese, which is an important factor in the present situation. The effect also of defeat upon the gallant garrison of Port Arthur after hopes of relief had been held out would be most disastrous. For all these reasons Gen. Kuropatkin's friends are convinced that the offensive was taken with open eyes and with a full appreciation of its difficulties, and a firm belief that victory would be achieved. On the other hand some of his enemies are unkind enough to intimate that Gen. Kuropatkin has rashly risked his army, knowing that victory now will ensure his selection as commander-in-chief of both Manchurian armies. AFFAIRS AT PORT ARTHUR. The Russian Battleship Retvizan Damaged by Jap Shells. Che Foo, Oct. 13.—Japanese who arrived here from Port Dalny report that additional heavy guns are now dropping shells into the harbor of Port Arthur. One shell recently severely damaged the Russian battleship Retvizan. The repulse from High hill, the Japanese say, was the only reverse which the Japanese before Port Arthur have suffered. On the other hand, the Japanese have destroyed two redoubts which gave the Russians a flanking fire from Rihlung mountain against their assailants, and the Japanese remain in six other captured fortifications, south of Shuishi Ying, which were mentioned in these dispatches September 25. The Japanese consider that the progress they have made is satisfactory, and believe that the capture of the fortress, although slow, is certain to be accomplished. AN ENGAGEMENT IN PROGRESS. Oynma Meets Kuropatkin's Advance With Strong Force. Tokio, Oct. 13.—General activity has been resumed in the theater of war. It is believed here that a general engagement is progressing between Liao Yang and Mukden. Field Marshal Oyama has met Gen. Kuropatkin's advance with a general advance of the main strength of his force along a broad front. The opposing forces were in touch Tuesday, and it is believed that a great battle south of the Hun river is inevitable. Besides this direct movement, the Russians are attempting to strike the Japanese right at two points widely separated. Drowned in Pesos River. Roswell, N. M., Oct. 13.—MacChambless and A. M. Lee, two young Virginians, have been drowned in the Pecos river. They attempted to go to Carsbad from Lakewood, and the boat struck a snag and capsized. The bodies have not been recovered. Lee was a cousin of Robert E. Lee. Mormens Purchase Land. Mexico City, Oct. 13.—Representatives of the Mormon church of Utah are negotiating for the purchase of a tract of 300,000 acres of land in the state of Tabasca.

BEVEN POINTERS FOR THE READING AND ADVERTISING PUBLIC. (1) THE ST. 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. 7 Republican Candidate for Governor of Missouri. POLITICS. If ever there was a time for the Negroes of Missouri to stand together for the state and city this is the time, with Walbridge to the last man on the ticket. If this is done, the republicans will sweep "he state and city. Let the Negroes remember that our candidates represent a political principle that guarantees to us equal rights before the law. As Col. Walbridge is imbued with these principles, we know he will be fair to our race, as he has been in the past. No party can reform itself. If Folk should be seated as governor, he would only be the tool in the hands of the political ring at Jefferson City. No party can reform itself. The entire vote was given to Mr. Hawes as delegate to the state convention, so says Folk, through fraud and intimidation. Folk says that Mr. Hawes was not a democrat and Hawes would resort to anything to carry the city with the police. Now Folk and Hawes are as the Siamese twins—almost inseparable—both these extremes now lie down together. Politics make strange bed fellows. No party can reform itself. From now until 8 o'clock at night on the 8th of November next let every Negro work for Roosevelt, Fairbanks, Walbridge, McKinley and the entire city ticket. Victory will be ours. No party can reform itself. There are some good democrats, but none good enough for a Negro to vote for against our candidates. No party can reform itself. The Negro's salvation is in and with the republican party, represented in this state by Col. C. P. Walbridge and the entire ticket. No party can reform itself. The reformation can only be made by Col. Walbridge and the republican party. No party can reform itself. We call upon the 50,000 Negro voters to see to it that each man is voted on November 8th. With C. P. Walbridge in the executive mansion. MR. HIRAM LLOYD. Mr. Hiram Lloyd, chairman of the Twelth congressional committee, is one of the best-informed men in pol- For Congress of the Twelfth District. We have known Mr. Harry Coudrey since 1897, when he was a member of the house of delegates, and the writer sergeant-at-arms from 1897 to 1899. Mr. Coudrey is one of nature's gentlemen, a man worthy of the support of every man, let him be democrat or republican. For two years we had the pleasure of studying men in office. In Mr. Coudrey you have a man that will reflect credit upon the Twelfth district, so work and vote for Mr. Harry M. Coudrey for congress. Democrats make a specialty of warmed-over issues. Taggart is earnestly advised by his party to go west and grow up with the campaign. It is hardly necessary to nail this year's campaign lies. They come to grief of themselves, like lost kites. Democratic assailants of the president are learning something new about the possibilities of the boomerang. Are the Parker constitutional clubs trying to study out a way to revise the constitution on the Mississippi plan? The democratic party is getting itself into a hole which is unlike a woodchuck's in not having two ends. Incidentally it may be observed that under Secretary Root the war department was reorganized on a business-like basis. A candidate who is reduced to using garbled extracts from the speeches of a dead opponent is too smart for the American people. And now they are saying that the peace proposal was ill-timed. That will not hurt the candidacy of the foreign delegates who made it. If John Sharp Williams, as campaign censor, ever tries to edit one of Cleveland's speeches, he will know how it feels to be hit by a thousand of brick. Stump orators for New York are hard to find in the democratic party this year. They are all afraid there may be some dynamite concealed in the stump. There is a hotel in the Berkshires where the visitors are not required to register. Judge Parker's friends ought to move that hotel to New York for his benefit. Knox getting an audience of 20,000 in Philadelphia while John Sharp Williams talks to empty benches in Brooklyn is a cheering sight for the democratic spyglass. If by garbled quotations from the speeches of McKinley, Parker expects to slip into that leader's shoes, he is respectfully informed that those shoes do not fit democratic feet. For a candidate preaching purity and constitutionalism, Judge Parker has got the most extraordinary lot of reformers together—David B. Hill representing purity in politics, Arthur Pue Gorman representing straight elections, and John Sharp Williams defending the constitution, all except the last few paragraphs. THE TICKET.

If he would tell what he is taking to keep his courage up it would be a good nerve tonic advertisement for somebody. Having made numerous allusions to the "martyred McKinley," Judge Parker proceeds to dissect the martyred president's last speech and use it to further free trade. It took all Judge Parker's judicial ingenuity to dig out passages from McKinley's speech to use in an argument against protection, and then he had to do it by chopping sentences in two. The democrats are making great capital of the president's quotation of the old proverb, "Speak softly and carry a big stick." Thus far they are bawling loudly and carrying a wooden candidate. In New Haven an Irish-American republican club has been formed in a strong democratic ward. The time has gone by when an Irishman was a democrat as a matter of course, whatever kind of candidate was up. First Baptist Church Notes. Dr. E. C. Cole preached at 11 a. m., and Dr. Olden at 7:30 p. m., at the First Baptist church, last Sunday. Fine sermons are being preached by Dr. Cole and his invited friends. The B. Y. P. U. met in regular weekly meeting at 5:30 p. m., and executed a fine literary programme and Bible reading. The following are the names of those who took part in the exercises: Mr. Thomas Morton, W. C. Henderson, Mrs. Peachy Littleton and Col. Garfield Craven, after which Rev. R. H. Boyd, secretary of the Baptist Public Board of Memphis, Tenn., was introduced. He spoke about fifteen minutes and made a lasting impression on all present. Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Henderson, of Starksville, Miss., are in the city on a visit to Dr. and Mrs. E. C. Cole, 2619A Sheridan avenue. Mrs. Henderson is Madame E. C. Cole's sister. Her husband is one of the leading business men of Starksville. They will remain here for two weeks. On Friday night the 7th inst. was the thirty-eighth anniversary of the marriage of Rev. Geo. W. West and wife. Their many friends gave them a grand surprise. The occasion was the happiest the reverend gentleman and his wife had seen for many years. Mrs. S. P. Phillips, of 1504 Clark avenue, left last Wednesday morning, for Cairo, Ill., where she joined her husband and took passage on steamer for Memphis, Tennessee. She will be absent two weeks. Mrs. L. Wynns, of Washington, D. C., is in the city on a visit to her mother, at 309 South Fifteen street. Colorado's vegetable exhibit in the Palace of Agriculture at the World's fair includes a manglewurtzel beet which is the shape of a pig, and weighs 31 pounds. The official count of the attendance for Missouri day at the World's fair shows the total admissions to have been 179,964, which is the fifth largest since the opening. Mobile, Ala., Oct. 5.—The bitterness and radical views announced by Congressman Heflin in the first speech of his campaign at Tuskegee have caused a sensation in Alabama. At the home of Booker T. Washington he denounced the Negro educator, coupling his name with that of Roosevelt and Mr. Walker, the republican candidate for congress against Mr. Heflin. He described his republican opponent "as a black and tan serpent, hissing at the feet of honest democrats." He gave utterance to extremely radical views on the Negro question; declared that Booker T. Washington was behind the candidacy of his opponent, saying it was an insult to the district. "If Booker takes a hand in this thing," said the congressman, "it will be one time I will ask him to step out, and ask him to 'hands off,' and you know we have a way of influencing Negroes down here in this country when it becomes necessary." Referring to Washington dining with Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Heflin said: "There they sat, Roosevelt and Booker, and if some Czolgosz or one of his kind had thrown a bomb under the table no great harm would have been done the country." Here we have a man who is a candidate for congress who stands and urges the people to assassinate the president of the United States. They may disfranchise the Negro in the south, but if such hot-headed men as Heflin, Tillman, Graves and Vardaman keep up this talk it will involve this country in another civil war for the rights of men, the constitution and the flag. They will find 10,000,000 Negroes that will march to the front to protect the country, flag and the president of the United States. Let him be a republican or a democrat, they will find the Negroes like the Ninth and Tenth cavalry—they will die rather than see our president assassinated. If Heflin was in Mexico, or any other country besides America, he would be tried for threats against the rulers of the country and shot like a common dog. 9 BEQUEATHS, $100,000 TO BOOKER WASHINGTON. Iowa Millionaire Also Remembers Drunkards' Home, Salvation Army and Babies of His Relatives. Des Moines, Ia., Oct. 13.—Designating that it shall be spent in enlarging the Tuskegee Institute, the late James Callahan, a multi-millionaire, bequeathed Booker T. Washington $100,000. Mr. Callahan, who was one of the wealthiest men west of the Mississippi, was a close friend of Mr. Washington. Mr. Callahan had been a close sympathizer with the work of the school, having, it is said, assisted it frequently financially. The two men have often discussed the future of the institution, and it was expected when Mr. Callahan died two weeks ago that Washington would be remembered in his will. Leaving an estate of three millions, the part given to Tuskegee is the largest received by any one person or organization. Numerous churches, colleges and charitable institutions receive several thousand each, this class including homes in all parts of the United States for the aged and friendless. Forty heirs, nearly all New Yorkers will divide a million. For a home for wives of drunkards $50,000 is bequeathed; to the Salvation Army $20,000; the last remarkable clause provides that all babies born in the Calhami family within a year, however distant the relationship, shall receive $500 each—St. Louis Republic.

IN A DILEMMA More Matter Than We Are Able to Print—Who Will Help Us Out of This? Several articles have been received this week which would fill two columns each, two of them together four columns, of good republican doctrine, and we would like to print them, but as there was nothing said about paying for it, we are too poor to have it set up. The Palladium will have more republican doctrine and sound reasoning for the republican party, October 20, than any ten Negro papers in this country. We would like to send The Palladium to every Negro in the states of Missouri! Illinois and Indiana, that it will cause them to think. Who will help us? WILL HOLD A MASS MEETING.

This hog is thrifty and very sensitive. It is a natural hog, has two front feet, and is round and smooth at the hips. Address Mrs. Rachel Jackson, Bethel, Mo.

The reappearance of Prof. Hoffmann, the Negro scientific expert in cotton culture, and the announcement of his successful experiments in the production of a most excellent brand of cotton at Lagos, in Africa, proves that a serious effort is being made to develop the cotton-growing industry of west Africa. The present high price and the alleged scarcity of cotton has convinced the European spinners that they can no longer rely upon the American supply. According to Sir Alfred Jones, president of the Liverpool chamber of commerce, "it is absolutely necessary to make some effort to provide a supply from other sources," inasmuch as "America will soon need all the cotton she grows. The possibilities of Africa as a cotton-producing country, in his view, "can not well be overestimated." Plantations embracing 20,000 acres in Lagos, under the English, and 30,000 acres, in Yoroba, under the Germans, have been established, and are fluorishing Gins and presses have been sent out from Liverpool, and millions of dollars raised by the English Cotton Growers' association and the German government to push the work ahead. The German government has employed Prof. J. N. Callaway and the English association Prof. Hoffmann, both Colored American cotton experts, to supervise the work. The natives are going into cotton growing with enthusiasm. "America," says Sir Alfred, "may yet have to look to west Africa for her cotton supply, because I believe cotton will be produced more cheaply in west Africa than in the United States." Above all other movements as a factor in the solution of the Negro problem is the utilization of Negro labor as a mighty commercial factor. Cotton made him a slave, and cotton will set him free and make him a man. The invasion and conquest of the lands in tropics of the globe by European arms and civilization has greatly increased the demand and enhanced the value of cotton, the great Negro staple of the earth. England, France and Germany need grow their own cotton, and they want the American cotton hand of our southern states to show them how. The eyes of the southern planter are gradually opening to this situation, and he must see that if he persists in his oppression of the Negro that it will no longer be a political or social question, but a commercial question, a question of bread and butter for the white southern. All the Negro needs to do is to hold up his hands, and these great powers will say come under our flag, and we will give you lands and establish states under our suzranity for you to govern. This is where the shoe will pinch, and therein is where cotton, which once made the Nero a slave, will, through his skill in its culture, permanently establish his freedom and make him a national power. A BLIND CHRISTIAN Gentleman Who Conducted Barber Shop 1526 Morgan. We call special attention to Mr. A. Donahue, of 1526 Morgan street. We knew him before he lost his sight. He has been blind for over two years. Mr. Donahue is a worthy gentleman, and although blind, he and his amiable wife are conducting a barber shop. We that are blessed with out five senses should feel it our duty to assist this gentleman. Now, if you want to help him, go there at least once a week from your regular barber and get shaved. We will try and do our part. You can buy a paper from him, the St. Louis Palladium, which will net him $2\frac{1}{2} cents on every Palladium that he sells. Remember, gentlemen and ladies, we have got our sight, but we can not tell how long, so help him. He has lost one of the most important senses that men and women possess, that of sight. Remember, 1526 Morgan street. Notice. We have stopped free-doings in the paper. Since the World's fair we have received hundreds of locals concerning coming guests, and those who are here. The senders undoubtedly expect the articles to be published free gratis. Through investigation it has often been discovered that the senders are neither subscribers of The Palladium, nor do they even bear a friendly attitude toward it. Any locals not accompanied by a compensation, will find their way into the waste basket. SAM. THE TAILOR. At 204 North Fourteenth street is Sam, the Tailor, is established.

CENTER OF NEGRO EDUCATION At Atlanta, Ga., are six large institutions for the higher education of the negro, making this southern city the center of negro education of the world. Twenty-one hundred men and women, boys and girls, annually enter these institutions, going out after a time to spread the learning there received, until there is distinctly recognizable at this time a slow but steady upward movement among the negroes of the south. These institutions, finely endowed, finely equipped, and finely conducted, make Atlanta the center of negro education for the world.—Martha Goode Anderson, in Gunton's Magazine. Good Advice.

FAILED IN REAL POLITICS. Bueful Reminiscences of a Theatrical Star Who Was the Easy Victim. Maclyn Arbuckle, the successful star of the eastern company playing George Ade's "The County Chairman," began his career first as a lawyer, then he was a politician. In the Theater Magazine appears this characteristic account of the demise of these early ambitions, written by Mr. Arbuckle shortly after he became an actor. "As I go about the city I notice signs of 'Attorney at Law.' Ahme! I wonder if they are young lawyers. If so, my heart goes out to them. There they sit, companion pieces to Dickens' Micawber, ever watching and waiting for something to 'turn up.' Poor souls! They go to their offices and open their invisible voluminous mall, and take their clients one at a time, and fill their safe drawers with fives and retainers. Oh, it is glorious! Three short weeks ago I was one of them—shingle swinging to the tune of 'Destitute and Raggity' by the rough zephyr of legal poverty, and it is professional, you know, to be legally poor. But how different now! I closed the lid of the casket that bore all that remains of the 'Legal Wreck' and consigned the remains to the fraternity that they might be buried with becoming professional dignity—federal expenses to be paid out of 'fees due me,' fees that never came! It is a great awakening from a three years' sleep, a young Rip Van Winkle slumber! Fight, you lawyers, over your fees! Seize the farmers' lands, for your fees, you know! The mules and cows. Sound forth your legal arguments in the courts of justice! Look you wise and renew your 30, 60 and 90 day paper in the bank. Take all. I quit-claim to you in fee simple for love and affection. And, oh, you candidates for the judicial honors, ride your scrawny horses and mules through Red river bottoms, dine with the dear colored voters, kiss the sweet, pretty little dirty child of the dear voters, take your mysterious grips to the speaking, ride all night, take stock in every church, colored and white-school barbecue! Oh, what bliss, what felicity, to have a huge confident gentleman demand a five, and suggest that if it is not forthcoming he will 'surely turn his whole following and district against you,' and oh, what woe when you haven't the five to stay his cruel power! At last the day has come! Up early, spreading tickets broadcast, 'Vote for Maclyn Arbuckle,' Justice of the Peace.' Opponent looking slyly at you and wondering about your strength. Visit polls.

A delicious pie of German origin is gaining favor here. It is made of crust raised over night, as bread is raised, with the addition of an egg worked into it in the morning. Sweetened to taste, this crust is rolled out about an inch thick, laid in a pan and the edges trimmed. Peaches cut in slices are then pressed into the dough, sprinkled with sugar, and grated lemon may be dusted over the fruit. Apples may be used instead of peaches, and likewise huckleberries. In his address to Publishers at the Battle Creek banquet Mr. Post likened the growth of a modern commercial enterprise to the growth of an apple-tree. Good seed, plenty of work and water are needed, but the tree will not bear apples without sunshine. The sunshine to the commercial plant is publicity secured by advertising. It is impossible even with the heaviest advertising to make a success unless the article has merit of a high order. Merit is the good tree and sunshine makes the apples grow.

From Empress Down to Peasant Girl All Make Sacrifices to Help Relief Fund. Societies and associations have been organized in Japan to relieve the families of the fighting men, and every one makes certain contributions to the relief fund. Some men contribute money or goods, some their labor, and most of the lint and bandage used for the wounded are the works of women, from the empress down to the peasant girl, writes Nobushige Amenomori, in Atlantic. Little boys and girls willingly forego their daily sweetmeats, and give the small monies thus saved to the relief societies. A boy 11 years old in a country school made one day a contribution of two yen. It was thought too much for a country boy's gift. The school-teacher and the elderman of the village suspected the money might have been given the lad by his parents to satisfy his vanity; in which case it should be admonished against. An inquiry was accordingly made, and brought out the fact that the boy had actually earned the money for the purpose by devoting his play hours to the making of straw sandals. Even some criminals working in prisons have made several applications to contribute their earnings to the funds, though their wishes have not been complied with. In every village a compact has been made that those remaining at home should look after the farms of those at the front, so that their families may not be disappointed of the usual crops. Since the outbreak of the war the government's bonds have been twice issued at home, and each time the subscription more than trebled the amount called for, the imperial household taking the lead by subscribing 20,000,000 yen. Thus the hardships of the war are cheerfully borne by every man, woman and child in the land. From the color of a man's hair may be learned a good deal in regard to his intellectual ability, says a professor who has for some months been closely studying the subject. School boys with chestnut hair, he maintains, are likely to be more clever than any others, and will generally be found, at the head of the class, and in like manner girls with fair hair are likely to be far more studious and bright than girls with dark hair. In mathematics and recitations these boys and girls, he asserts, especially excel. On the other hand, he says that boys and girls with brown hair are most likely to attain distinction through their individuality and style, and that those with red or auburn hair do not often excel in any respect. Congressman James Hamilton Lewis, of Chicago, is the politest man in the country. When in Seattle, one night after making a fiery speech he was coming down the aisle bowing right and left, when he discovered an elderly colored lady. "Why, good evening, mammy," the colonel said. His speech hadn't pleased her, so she replied: "Look heah, sah, I is not yo' mammy; you ain't nothin' but Jes' poor white trash!"—Woman's Home Company. The Color of Hair No Kinship. THE SUNDAY BIBLE SCHOOL Prepared by the "Highway and By (Copyright, 1904, by J. M. Edson.) LESSON TEXT. (II. Kings 4:25-37; Memory verse, 30.) So she went and came into the man of God to Mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her after off, that he去Gehazi his menant: Behold him, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her; is it well with thee? is it well with the thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered: It is well, 27. And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet, but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said: Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her; and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me. 28. Then she said: Did I desire a son of my husband? Did I not say: Do not deceive me? 29. Then he去Gehazi: Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way; if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute the, answer him not again; and lay my staff upon the face of the child. 30. And the mother of the child said: As the child, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose and followed her. 21. And Gehazil passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there-was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying: The child is not awaked. 22. And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed. 23. He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the Lord. 24. And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands; and he stretched himself upon his child; and the flesh of the child waked was awake. 25. Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up and stretched himself upon him; and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. 26. And he called Gehazil, and said: Call this Shunammitte. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said: Take up thy son. 37. Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out. SCRIPTURAL SECTION.-The whole story of the Bshunamite woman, beginning at AIDEN, GOLDEN TEXT-"The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."-Rom. 6:23. TIME-Uncertain. PLACE-Namibia; a few miles south of Numbat; Namibia, the probable home of Elisha, and Mount Carmel, where the prophet often sought retirement. Prophet's Presence Gained (Vs. 25-27).—The first thing that impresses itself upon us in connection with this lesson is the desperate need of this broken-hearted mother. Her only boy, the gift of God to her for her kindness to the prophet (II Kings 4: 8-17), had died suddenly, probably from sunstroke (Vs. 18-20). Ah, what a heart-breaker death is. And God is the only one who can heal the cruel wounds. The Shunammitte would not carry her burden alone. She must go to the prophet of God. The sisters in the stricker home at Bethany would not carry their burden alone. They must tell Jesus (John 11:3). In her sorrow the Shunammite was not rebellious. / There is a beautifully touching suggestion in verse 21, where she took her lifeless darling and laid him on the bed of the prophet, of faith's submission to God. God had given and God had taken away (Job 1:21). Prophet's Services Won (Vs. 28-31). —Gehazi would not do! The Shunammite must have Ellisha. Gehazi's part in this story is suggestive of the hindrances which may lie in the pathway of the seeker after God, of the futility of human means to restore life. It reminds us of the disciples' failure to heal the demoniac son and of the final appeal to Jesus (Luke 9: 37-43). Why should we be content with the Gehazi when we may have the Christ Himself? Note three things in connection with the Shunammite's interview with the prophet: 1. The soul unburdened—she told the prophet all. 2. The soul hanging on—"As Jehovah liveth and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." The Jacob spirit (Gen. 22:26) is the spirit that always obtains the cooperation and help of God. Note the parallel in this particular between the Shunammite woman and the Syrophenician woman (Mark 7: 25-29). 3. The soul triumphant—"And he arose and followed her." The Blessing Obtained (Vs. 32-37).—The prophet saw the need before him, he heard the mother's sobs, he knew her desire, but before he could serve her he must seek the Lord in prayer; he must learn God's will. Then he was ready to lay out his life for the life of the child. Mouth to mouth, eye to eye, hands to hands. His vitality going into the cold, dead frame of the boy. And at last the responding life—life given from God in response to faith's plea and love's sacrifice of self. Here is a lesson for every servant of God. With dead souls all about and Christ waiting to give life, we need to get into close contact with them; we need to put mouth to mouth, and eye to eye, and hands to hands in order that we may warm to the life-giving power of Jesus. Faith's plea and love's sacrifice will bring the awakening thrill, and the opening eye, and lost souls all about us will be saved. Let us give ourselves to the task as unreservedly and earnestly as did the prophet. Nuggets from the Adam's Horn.

Dr. Lapponi Uses Dr. Williams' Pink Pill In His Practice Because Results Meet His Expectations. Dr. Lapponi, the famous physician to the Vatican, whose name has recently come so greatly to the front on account of his unremitting attention to His Holiness, the late Pope Leo XIII, and the high esteem and confidence with which he is regarded by the present Pope, His Holiness Pius X, is a man of commanding genius. He is more than a mere man of science; he is a man of original and independent mind. Untrameled by the "etiquette" of the medical profession and having used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in his practice with good results, he freely avows the facts and endorses the value of this remedy with an authority which no one will venture to question. Dr. Lapponi's Letter. "I certify that I have used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in four cases of the simple anemia of development. After a few weeks of treatment, the result came fully up to my expectations. For that reason I shall not fail in the future to extend the use of this landable preparation not only in the treatment of other forms of the category of anemia or chlorosis, but also in cases of neurasthenia and the like." (Signed) GUISSEPE LAPPONI, Via dei Gracci 332, Rome. The 'simple anemia of development,' referred to by Dr. Lapponi, is of course, that tired, languid condition of young girls, whose development to womanhood is tardy and whose health, at that period, is so often imperiled. His opinion of the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People at that time is of the highest scientific authority, and it confirms the many published cases in which anemia and other diseases of the blood, as well as nervous diseases such as nervous prostration, neuralgia, St. Vitus' dance, paralysis and locomotor ataxia have been cured by these pills. They are commended to the public for their efficiency in making new blood and strengthening weak nerves. After such an endorsement they will be accepted by the medical and scientific world at their full value. A. N. K.-B 2043 BISO'S CURE FOR CURES WHERE ALL ELSE FAILS. Best Cough Syrup. Tastes Good.

They Overtake Every Christian, But with Jesus in the Boat All Is Well. The disciples tempest tossed on the tea of Galilee, with Jesus asleep in the hinder part of the boat, is a perfect pic- ture of the devout saint oppressed by the world, the flesh and the devil, Another scene, a little later, graphically ilus- trates the same condition: Jesus is on the mountainside in prayer and His be- loved followers are “tolling in rowing;”” literally distressed or tormented. The same word is used by the centurion who said that hig servant was sick of the palsy, grievously tormented, and by the cemons Who asked of Jesus: “Art Thou oie to torment us before the time?” ‘This is a good word to express the sore trials of many of the saints to-day. They are “toiling” or distressed or tormented by the stress of elrcumstances, personal- \y or in the home or in business or in their spiritual relations. But what a comfort that “the Master of ocean and earth and skies” is with us! “With Christ in the vessel we laugh at the storm.” He is never asleep in His glorified state, nor so occupied with His high priestly function that He fails to notice the distressed and tor- mented of His Heavenly people down here in the hostile and foreign element ofearth. ‘Thank God, He is always near at hand, ready and glad to be called to our relief. He is ours “to command.” In the Fourth Watch, when our case seems hopeless, in, the darkest hour He comes walking upon the water to our relief, saying: “It is I, be not afraid.” ‘Then our belief is rebuked, our hearts subside and we repose resifully In the arms of infinite and omnipotent love. “Weeping may endure for a night, but foy cometh in the morning.” Oh, soul, heartbroken by sorrow, over- come by temptation, crushed by ad- versity, wondering how long you can hold out In the present distress, asking what the end shall be, prophesying fail- ure, thinking yourself forsaken of God, look up and be of good cheer.

TRUTH. It Is in Yielding to the Revelations ‘Which Are Given to Us Day by Dar. One of the most puzzling questions, Perhaps, that can be acéressed to any Breacher, and has ofteri heen addressed to me, 1s this: Why co#s God not make it so that there shall be no room for Goubt concerning duty, destiny, heaven, and things to come, concerning Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Father of our epir- its? Why does not God write as it were across. the sky with the finger. of phe- nomena the truth which all men. can tread? Why should not the vision al- ways and everywhere be granted to men in common? “I do not know where to look for the truth,” cries many a young man who stands upon the very threshold of the truth that was meant for him. I will tell you how I always answer such & question if it is addressed to me, says Rev. R. J. Campbell, of the City Temple, London. It is this: There is only one vision, so far as you are concerned, the vision which God means for you; {t fronts you now, and obedience to that will lead you to another, and obedience again will lead you higher still. Obe- Gience to your vision means conseera- tion to your duty. We talk as thouch there were uncertainty. concerning te things that matter most. God has left no uncertainty in His world concerning the things that matter most just now; and the visionto which every man should conform his life is wailing for him, and shining on him in the midet of the things of conimon gay. There is no man cr woman in this ‘place but that has. seen a heaycnly vislion. The only question for you and me is: What response have we made to that vision? Oh, how few seem eas- ily able to discern tke Divine in the midst of the common things! Gad comes to man upon the highway of life and in the midst of the ordinary cuties of life, and heavenly vision is granted —not to the man who runs hither and thither, seeking for “some great thing to do, or secret thing to know,” but in the way of duty, and in the midst of the trivial, as it seems, and the-humdrum, and the commonplace. Seek for God there or you will find Him nowhere. A REAL PRAYER. How a Little Girl Received a Prompt and Full Answer to Her Petition. A little girl whose cick mother had no bread, knelt down by the bedside, and said, slowly: “Give us this day our daily bread.” Then she went into the street and began to woncer where God kept His bread. She saw a large baker's shop. a “This,” thought Neitis. “is the place.” So she entered confice:.tly and said to the big baker: “I've come for it.” “Come for what?” “My daily bread,” she said, pointing to the tempting loaves. “i'll take two, if yot please—one for mother and one for me.” “All right,” said the baker, putting them into a bag, and giving them to his little customer, who stared for the street. “Stop,” he said, roughly; “where fs your money?” “I haven't any,” she said, simply. “Haven't any!” he repeated, angrily; “you little thier, what brought you here, then?” The hard words frightened the little girl, who, bursting into tears, said: “Mother is sick, and Tam so hungry. In my prayers I said: ‘Give us this day our daily bread.’ and then I thought God meant me to fetch it. and so I came.” ‘The baker was softened by the child’s simple tale, and he sent her back to her mother with a well-filled basket.

C Ryls - CET eee Origin of “Rabberneck.” The slang expression “rubberneck” was born in Vallejo, Cal. and it was used all over the slope for a number of years-before it finally worked its way east. The man from whom the expres ston was derived—or, rather, to whom it was first applied—is a constable in Vallejo. In former years he traveled with @ one-night-stand circus as a man with a rubber skin. His looseness of pelt is still remarkable. When the show with which he traveled-smashed up in Vallejo this man, after bangingtround for a while yb as {own constable.

A drunken marine ‘from Mare Island, who knew of the constable’s man-with- a-rubber-skin history, first applied the title “rubberneck” to the constable, and, although the marine got “pinched” forit, the constable’s new title stuck, and he has to stand for it down tp the present-time. ‘The word worked its way down to San Francisco in time, and thence all over the coast, and some traveling men took it east two or three years ago,—San Franciseo Bulletin, —_ eee eee The Alaskan sleds are built of wood as light as is consistent with strength, ‘and lashed together with hide ropes so that the whole framework will give readily and not be easily broken by the constant rough usage to which they are subjected. ‘The sled is from nine to tem fect long, and 18 or 20 inches wide, with the ruriners one foot deep, shod with walrus ivory or strips of bone fashioned out of the jawbone of the whale, Te rails or sides are about 18 inches high, and at the rear end of the sled are handles coming up high enough for a man to push and guide it without bending very much, ‘There is a cover made of light drilling which ls spread in the bottom of the sled and large enough so that after the arti cles have been packed on snugly it hauls up over the load and the ends overlap on top. ‘The load is then lashed the whole length of the sled with hid thongs.—Harper's Magazine. ‘Mid Obaceeation. “Kinder curious,” remarked the Ko- hack philosopher, musingly, “how even the most truthful of men will lie wher their wives ask them how they like their new hats.

THE UNITED STATES WILL SOON ENOCK AT THE DOORS OF CANADA FOR WHEAT. A Crop of 60,000,000 Bushels of ‘Wheat Will Be the Record of 1904. ‘The results of the threshing in Western Canada are not yet com pleted, but from information at hand, it is safe to say that the average per acre will be reasonably high, and a fair estimate will place the total yield of wheat at 60,000,000 bushels. At pres- ent prices this will add to the wealth of the farmers nearly $60,000,000. Then think of the immense ‘yield of oats and barley and the large herds of cattle, for all of which good prices will be paid. ‘The following offc'al telegram waz sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton, Min- ister of the Interior, to Lord Strath- cona, High Commissioner for Can- ada:— “Am now able to state definitely that, under conditions of unusual diffi culty in Northwest a fair average crop of wheat of good quality has been reaped and is now secure from sub- stantial damage. The reports of in- fury by frost and rust were grossly ex- aggerated. The wheat of Manitoba and Northwest ‘Territories will aggre- gate from fifty-five to sixty million bushels. ‘The quality 1s good, and the price is ranging around one dollar per Dushel.” Frank H. Spearman, in the Satarday Evening Post, says:— “When our first transcontinental railroad was built, learned men at- tempted by {sothermal demonstration to prove that wheat could not profit: ably be grown north of where the line ‘was projected; but the real granary of the world Ifes up to 300 mfles north of the Canadian Pacific railroad, and the day is not definitely distant when the United States will knock at the doors of Canada for its bread. Rall- road men see such a day; it may be hoped that statesmen also will see It, and arrange their reciprocities while they may do so gracefully. Americans already have swarmed into that far country and to a degree have taken the American wheat field with them. Despite the fact that for years a little Dakota station on the St. Paul road —Eureka—held the distinction of be- ing the largest primary grain market in the world, the Dakotas and Minne- sota will one day yield their palm to Saskatchewan. ‘The ong of the Sword, Says Mr. Hayashi, a distinguished citizen of Japan: “To-day we Japanese have battleships, torpedoes, cannon. ‘The China seas redden with the blood of our killed and of those we kill.

And you occitentals say te us, ‘You have won your rank; you have civilized yourselves.’ Centuries up. centuries we have’ had artists, painvers, sculp- tors, philosophers.

THE UNITED STATES NAVY At the present time the United States ranks fifth among the naval powers, being surpassed by Great Britain, France, Russia and Germany, although Germany's lead is but slight and in number of ships rather than in tonnage. While this showing is satisfactory enough in all conscience considering that not much over a decade ago we did not possess a single modern ship, it does not fully convey to the secular mind the real position of this country as a naval power in comparison with its competitors. While we are but fifth among the navies of the world in the actual number of fighting ships constructed, we are building a larger number of such ships than any other power, and two or three years hence when all of the vessels now building are finished we will actually rank next to Great Britain in the matter of our modern fighting ships. Says Christ Was a Negro. In a series of lectures that he proposes to deliver in several of the largest churches in St. Louis, Elder J. M.

This is the only exclusive bath house in the city for Colored people, and Mr. Tonsall feels highly pleased in his new venture, feeling sure of success. He declares that all requirements of a first class bath house will be in evidence. An expert attendant will be in charge. The officers of the Tuskegee normal and industrial institute of Tuskegee, Ala., have gradually matured a plan which should very deeply interest the young men and women of the race who are seeking an education. This plan enables the young men and young women who so desire to attend school at night and work at an industry or trade during the day, or in the case of those who are able to pay a small monthly sum, to attend school during the day and at the same time learn a trade or work at some industry. This improved plan gives superior opportunity for literary and academic training, and at the same time gives equal opportunity for the learning of a trade. Last year 36 states were represented by students at Tuskegee, and nine foreign countries. The attendance during the coming year promises to be very large, and the class of students promises to be of a high grade. ROOMS FOR RENT. NICELY FURNISHED ROOMS for rent. 103 S. 14th st.

I can not consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color.—President Roosevelt. ```markdown ``` Lincoln would be sorry he said anything, if he could hear Tillman quote him. There are ten Afro-American officers in the United States army under the Roosevelt administration. The betting men in New York know a thing or two—they are now offering 10 to 4 on Roosevelt. There are 188 Afro-Americans employed in the post office at New York city, and they receive $153,982 annually for their services. They are working under the Roosevelt civil service. In opening the campaign in Chicago, Senator Tillman said: "I feel full of devilment, and I want to throw a few chunks of hell fire in your direction." The remark was substantiated by the remainder of his harangue on the race question. John Temple Graves is out in an open letter, in which he says: "I am not and I never have been an advocate of lynching." John ought to issue a "key" to his editorial page so people would be able to figure out where he really stands. "We would not withhold from the Negro any of his 'rights,' but we do not regard the rights of suffrage as one of his rights, or as being essential in any way to the protection of his life or property, or to his pursuit of happiness."—Charleston News and Courier, the leading democratic paper of South Carolina. Silver-tongued Col. George A. Knight, of California, says there really isn't any use telling the American people what they have already made up their mind to do. "I look upon Roosevelt as a man who is as good as elected to the presidency, and all the speeches of all the politicians will not affect the verdict." The Afro-Americans who call themselves democrats ought to do like the Alabama heroes at the Huntsville lynching; that is hide under the beds and in the closets. They may rest assured that the white democrats are not such fools as to not see through their toadying and funkeying. They are democrats for revenue only, and everybody knows it. H. M. Porter, an Afro-American, has been nominated for congress in Hardwick's Georgia district. Hardwick is the man who is working to have the fifteenth amendment repealed. It's a pity that there is no chance for Porter's election, as the democrats would count him out even if he had a majority of the votes. At the Episcopal general convention at Boston, J. J. Stotzenberg, of New Albany, Ind., a good friend of the race, introduced a resolution condemning lynching. The southern democratic delegates opposed it, and J. C. Buxton, of North Carolina, moved that it be laid on the table. This was defeated, and the resolution referred to a special committee. In their published utterances, neither Parker nor Davis make the remotest allusion to the important issue of "social equality" which has been raised by Tillman, Vardaman, Jeff Davis & Co.; and it is a well-known fact that Candidate Davis has for a son-in-law Mr. Elkins, a republican of the most stalwart type. We are surprised to observe the fact that T., V., J. D. & Co. have not cross-questioned their candidates in respect to this matter. Judging by his public utterances, Congressman Heflin, of Alabama, is an anarchist, and belongs in the Herrn Most class. In a speech at Tuskegee, last week, he said: "There they sat, Roosevelt and Booker, and if some Czolgosz or one of his kind had thrown a bomb under the table no great harm would have been done the country." The southern papers tell us that Heflin does not represent the south. That's what they say about Tillman and Vardaman. Who speaks for the south? Baptist Ministers of Kansas. Hutchinson, Kas., Oct. 12.—The annual meeting of the Baptist ministerial association of Kansas met here today. The opening sermon was delivered by Rev. A. W. Atkinson of Manhattan. He was followed by Rev. Mr. Johnson of Chicago. The woman's missionary society is also holding its session. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. J. D. S. Diggs of Ottawa. The annual missionary sermon was delivered by Rev. G. W. Trout of Pittsburg. The address of welcome was made by Rev. D. W. Hawker and was responded to by D. W. Kimey of Newton. A business session wherein the committee appointments were made closed the evening meeting. Baptist Women Meet Duquoin, Ill., Oct. 12.—To-day was the second day of the state convention of the Colored Baptist Women's Missionary and Educational Society, which is being held in the St. Paul Baptist church in this city. There are nearly 100 delegates present, representing almost every Colored Baptist church from Chicago to Cairo. The principal speakers at to-day's session were Rev. W. E. Hopkins, a returned derson of Springfield, Rev. E. Parker of Metropolis, and Miss Maggie Wall of Cairo. The address of welcome was delivered by Miss Emma Tate of this city and responded to by Miss Jennie Skinner of Monmouth. FOR RENT. Three fine unfurnished rooms. Bath and water license free.

Committees, to devise plans for the restoration of Forest park after the World's fair in St. Louis, will take up their task soon. Several men sent to serve grand jury summonses on alleged registration padders were badly beaten by St. Louis political Indians. The Yates phalanx (Thirty-ninth Illinois infantry) held its annual reunion at Clinton, Ill., Wednesday. It will meet next year in Leroy.
