St. Louis Palladium

ST.LOUIS PALLADIUM Harry M. Coudrey for Congress. Election November 8, 1904 Harry M. MR. AUGUST GISLER. August Gisler, republican nominee for the legislature in the Third district, is well and favorably known in St. Louis, having lived in the Fourteenth ward for more than 30 years. He has been an active hard-working republican and a member of the Twelfth district congressional committee, representing the Fourteenth ward for the past eight years. He is entitled to the loyal support of all good citizens. Republican Women Rally. Last Saturday night a splendid meeting was held at K. of P. hall, under the auspices of the state committee, conducted by Mrs. Marie P. Williams, of Kansas City, Mo. Mrs. Williams spoke at some length, dwelling on national issues and state affairs. At the close of her able address The Palladium man spoke upon the state issues. Then several ladies spoke on the issues. Then one man spoke in favor of voting for the best man, let him be a democrat or a republican. The Palladium again rises with fire in his eyes. He speaks in plain terms what he thought of such a person. He dwelt upon the principles of the Republican party and stated that the Hon. C. P. Walbridge represented those principles. He further stated that such men as the former speaker ought not be tolerated. Mrs. Williams then out spoke more plainly than did the Palladium man. At the conclusion of her remarks a club was formed of the ladies and put to work. When they were hunting for a name, that same man wanted the club named the Roosevelt club. After much talking the Palladium man again arose and said the club ought to be named the Roosevelt-Walbridge Club No. 2. The same was adopted without a desenting vote. The best of fellowship prevailed. Mrs. Marie Williams, grand organizer, is doing a great work. We congratulate her. A Grand Rally. The rally last Thursday night, opening the campaign in the Twelfth district, was a grand success. Several speakers spoke at some length. Mr. Hiram Lloyd, chairman of the Twelfth congressional committee, made an able appeal for a fair vote and an honest count. Capt. C. H. Tandy made a grand speech. Has Been Sick Some Time. Miss Mary Merryman, of 2109 Walnut street, has been sick since June last. She was attending Sumner high school before she was taken sick. She is up again. *We hope for her early recovery. August Gisler Republican Candidate for LEGISLATURE 3d DISTRICT. Comprising Wards 3, 4, 5, 6, 14, 15, 16, 22 Election: Tuesday, Nov. 8, 1904. --- ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1904. THEY SAVED THE UNION. President Roosevelt Lauds Valor of Afro-Americans. The Negro Soldiers Have the Faculty of Coming to the Front When Most Needed. In 1900, when Theodore Roosevelt was governor of New York, he was interviewed about the Afro-American soldier and this is what he said: "I know of the character and bravery of the Afro-American soldier. He saved my life at Santiago, and I have had occasion to say so in many articles and speeches. The Rough Riders were in a bad position when the Ninth and Tenth cavalry came rushing up the hill carrying everything before them. "The Afro-American soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the civil war he came 200,000 strong, and I believe he saved the Union. He has done excellent work in all of the Indian campaigns, and while I was in the West, I had a number of opportunities of witnessing his wonderful work. He saved a massacre of the Seventh in 1890." "At San Juan hill the Afro-American soldiers rendered an object lesson to all of the soldiers assembled there. They sang and fought and pushed the laggard troopers up the hill and the great victory at that point was theirs as much if not more than any of the soldiers there." A Pleasant Affair. On Friday, October 14, 1904, Mrs. William Cheatam entertained The Patriarchy Auxiliary club, at the residence of her brother, Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Walker, 1237 Poplar street. The parlor and dancing room were beautifully decorated, and all were welcomed by the hostess. Among the visitors were Miss R. J. Brown, St. Paul, Minn.; Mrs. Collins and son, San Francisco, Cal.; Mrs. L. Macklin, Chicago; Mrs. L. Walker, Cape Girardeau, Mo.; Dr. S. W. Brabham, Lawyer Brown, Little Rock, Ark.; Misses Moore, Messley, Diggs, Poston and Pleasant; Messrs. A. Baker, James Martin, Hart, Smith, William Span. The Patriarchy came out in uniform. Mrs. William J. Floyd, president of the club, acted as mistress of ceremonies. All the refreshments of the season were served in abundance. The reception will long be remembered by the guests. A Unique Attraction. The Lyceum Sketch club will present Mr. John B. Vashon, in the title role of Mathews' musical comedy, "Miss Amanthis," at Metropolitan church, Jefferson avenue and Morgan street, Thursday evening, November 10, for the benefit of the Colored Y. M. C. A. Mr. Vashon enjoys quite an enviable reputation as a comedian and character actor among the lovers of the drama in this community. A strong cast will support him. A more complete notice will be given in next week's issue. Notice! Notice! J. W. Wheeler has been appointed to the St. John and St. Luke missions by our good bishop. We have worked up St. John's mission for the past four or five days, so much so that we will begin the Sunday school work next Sunday at 603 Red Bud avenue, at 2 o'clock p. m. We most earnestly ask the friends to help us in this work. Six years ago we had one of the best schools, and we hope to be of some service to the good people of North St. Louis. On a Visit to Friends Miss Mattie Hicks, of Stewgen, Mo., has been visiting friends in St. Louis, and taking in the fair. She stopped at Mrs. Ophelia Morgan's, 2646 Randolph street. She was under the protection of her two brothers. Miss Hicks is the belle of Stewgen. Many of our St. Louis girls look upon this country lass with envious eyes. She left last Monday for her little country home, Stewgen. Mo. We Will Go. Yes, there is a new club of strong and good women that will give a nice affair at Stolla's hall, Monday, October 31. They are all veiled, and they will be seen that night. Don't fail to see them. One hundred young ladies will be on hand. Which is which, and who is who? [Name] A. W. WASHINGTON. Mr. A. W. Washington is one of our best writers of songs and he is making a mark. What a man's life is he makes it. The white press of St. Louis accords that to him. We shall have more to say about this most wonderful man—Mr. A. W. Washington. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The article which Mr. A. W. Washington promised to write on the Race Question will appear in a few weeks, and will be a stunner. Fine lectures are given in the B. Y. P. U. every Sunday evening at 5 o'clock. Come out, friends, and join us. Charles Bollinger, president. Mrs. S. P. Philips, of 1504 Clark avenue, will return from Memphis, 'Tenn., where she has been for two weeks with her husband, on the first of next week. Mr. C. H. Ellis, of Atlanta, Ga., is in the city on a visit to his brother, and a worthy townsman, Mr. A. P. Brown. He will remain here for some time. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hughes, of Clarksville, Mo., spent last week with Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Elgin, of 1559 Gratiot. They were at the iair, and, of course, took in the Pike. Prof. J. Arthur Freeman, the noted educator and principal of our city schools, and one of the best musicians in the city, has built up the most noble choir at the First Baptist church there is in the city. The B. Y. P. U. met at 5 o'clock p. m. as usual at the First Baptist church, and executed a fine programme, the Bible reading and discussion being first, after which the literary part was taken up. Dr. E. C. Cole preached two excellent sermons at the First Baptist church last Sunday, 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. At the night service the church was crowded to hear the precious words that fell from that noted gentleman's lips. The celebration of the dedication of the First Baptist church will take place on November 2, which promises to be one of the grandest meetings in the history of said church. Dr. E. C. Cole has invited some of his friends from all parts of the country to participate, hence a grand and glorious meeting is anticipated. The public is cordially invited. Friday night, October 7, was the thirty-eighth anniversary of the marriage of Rev. Geo. W. West and wife, of 1732 South Second street. The occasion was a most pleasant one, in that their many friends gave them a grand surprise. Some brought cake, ice cream and many other good things, but the best of all was a fine Morocco chair, very handsomely made, which cost about $25. The feast lasted until a late hour, and the good old people were made happy, and they said they would remain so the balance of their lives. Dr. Wesley, a noted physician of Chicago, Ill., who was appointed by Gov. J. H. Yates of said state as a representative to the military convention (whites), which was held here last week, in which he was the only Negro in that convention, was highly entertained by Doctors J. W. Scott and McDonald last Sunday night at the Newport hotel. They gave the doctor a royal reception. The Fourteenth ward Republicans will meet Saturday night, at Oriental hall, Jefferson avenue and Adams street, at 8 o'clock. Every voter should attend this meeting that wishes success of the Republican party. COPYRIGHT 1904 CENTURY PUBLIC EXHIBITION CO. A Grand Banquet. Last Saturday night at Odd Fellows hall, at Twenty-seventh and Franklin avenue, a banquet was given to Edward S. Lewis, grand master of Missouri, and A.D. Jones, grand secretary of California. The spacious auditorium was decorated with ferns and roses. Supper was served in eight courses by Dorr and Zeller, with Col. Nelson Barbee in charge. The following named gentlemen were present: J. D. Buchanan, Edward T. Brown, Henry McKenzie, Jefferson Porter, J. B. Perryman, Joseph Farrell, Joshua Nicholls, Mathew Bolling, of Kansas City; J. W. Allen, R. D. Brown, of New York; Wilson Robinson, P. H. Pleasant, of Hot Springs, Ark.; W. L. Cox, Alex. Buckner, W. B. Wurt, Geo. W. Lyie, J. M. H. Dorsey, W. B. Wiliams, D. W. Holland, D. F. Wells, W. T. Wilder, Walker Carrol, Arthur Scott, Anderson Russell, Frank Boyn, John Robinson, Augustus Turner, Augustus Pheonix. At 11 o'clock supper was finished, and each gentleman present was called on for an after-dinner speech. George E. Temple, deputy grand master of the order, acted as toast master. MR. V. L. WALKER He Can Not Be Surpassed in Design ing and Paperhanging. Messrs. Lowery and Mason, proprietors of the Newport Cafe, have secured the services of Mr. V. L. Walker to decorate the walls of their restaurant. It is needless to say that the cafe, as it was, was one of the most well-thought-of and attractive our city has ever had, but since its recent decoration by Mr. Walker it has been rendered doubly so. The harmony of color and the blending of the figures is so fascinating that one forgets his hunger in the admiration of the decorated walls. Mr. Walker is perfect in the art of decorating. His artistic taste displays itself in his work. It requires more than ordinary taste so decide just what decoration is suitable to a cafe on the Newport's order, and Mr. Walker has certainly proven himself an adept in the art. His place of business is at 2636 Lawton avenue. HOT SHOTS. Let Us Be Manly. The state and city committees are making a thorough canvass. We hope for success. The national committee is at fault in some instances. Why will they have some men canvassing the state of Missouri for the next president, Theodore Roosevelt, and they will not say one word for the state ticket. This is wrong. We call for men who can support the principles of the Republican party. FOR RENT. Three fine unfurnished rooms. Bath and water license free. Apply at 1512 Papin street, or to Jas. W. Grant, 510 Pine street.

Fisher, Matthew G. Reynolds, Wm. Zachritz, James E. Withrow. Election, Tuesday, November 8, 1904. We have known Mr. August Gisler for the past ten years in politics and otherwise and a more up-right man we never met. The citizens of the Third district will do well to elect him to the legislature, as Cyrus P. Walbridge will want men that will act with him when he goes to Jefferson City as governor. The wife of Mr. W. C. Gordon died, last Saturday, after a painful illness of many months, and was buried from St. Paul's church last Monday. We deeply sympathize with Mr. Gordon in his great loss, as he is now prospering in business. Now is the time he needs a wife most. Yet our God knows what is best. Mrs. Ophelia Morgan, of 2646 Randolph street, will soon leave for Chicago, Ill., to make her future home. We wish her well. Many of our friends have left this city for the Windy city, but most of them have returned to old St. Louis. Mrs. W. B. Williams, formerly of our city, is also in Chicago at present. She is looking well. Rev. D. H. Harris, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church, and Rev. William Gray, both of Chicago, Ill., paid a visit to this city and were the guests of Rev. S. P. Anderson and wife, 2320 Morgan street. Rev. Gray preached at Antioch Baptist church, Sunday, the 16th, at 11 a. m., and Rev. Harris preached at the same place at 7:45 p. m. Rev. Harris left the city Monday morning for home by way of Macon, Mo. Rev. Gray is still in the city and will be until next week. ```markdown ``` MANUFACTURERS' BUILDING, WORLD'S FAIR. CITY NEWS.

FOURTEENTH STREET. Sam, the Tailor, 204-206 North Fourteenth street, has enlarged his place. He is the leading tailor in St. Louis. Next week we will give full particulars of his store. Mr. John Sneed Will Help. We were speaking about securing some good place to rent for a Sunday school where we will soon have a church. Mr. John Sneed says, "I am with you and you can depend on me for a part of the rent." Thanks. Who will be the next one to give their aid to us. St. John's Mission. Mr. Alzaman Ira Lucas. For this gentleman we could sit for hours and hear him talk of the wonderful things in store for mankind, if we would only believe in the Truth, as it is in Christ Jesus. He lectured at the Y. M. C. A. last Sunday, also at Centennial church last Wednesday. He is far ahead of most men, as he speaks and believes in the Truth as it is. Would to God that we had more such as Lucas. The Campaign is Waxing Warm. Not since the campaign of 1896 has the state been so worked up. When Chancey I. Filley was chairman of the state committee, Mr. Thomas K. Niedringhaus learned politics from that gentleman, and he now goes forth with that knowledge and his own to the work in hand, and he is making Rome howl every week. If Mr. Walbridge is not elected it will not be the fault of the chairman of the state committee. A Splendid Reception. Mrs. T. Hawkins, of Bloomington, ill., Mrs. Marie Reno and Mrs. Callie Fields, of Jefferson City, Mo., and Mrs. Fields, of 2713 Wash street, were entertained by Mrs. W. A.

Long thoroughly understands how to entertain strangers as they might entertain angels. HENRY CLAY. A Great Picture of Henry Clay Speak- ing on the Missouri Compromise ing on the Missouri Compromise. J. W. Wheeler, the ex-politician, has just received an oil painting of the United States senate as Henry Clay made his famous speech on the Missouri compromise in 1850. This painting is the work of Prof. H. W. Sexton, of 2605 Lawton avenue. The picture has been classed at first grade, valued at $100. We invite you to come to the Palladium and examine this great picture. Missouri State Gleanings. THE PROHIBITION NOMINEE. Brief Sketch of Orange Judd Hill, Prohibition Nominee For Governor of Missouri. Following is a brief sketch of the nominee of the prohibition party of Missouri for governor at the coming November election: Mr. Hill was born on a farm near Pontiac, Ill., in 1863. Spent the first thirteen years of his life on the farm. In 1876 his father moved to Carthage, Mo., where the subject of this sketch attended the public schools, afterward Drury college at Springfield, Mo., and later, Phillips academy at Andover, Mass. ORANGE JUDD HILL. After leaving school in 1885, he entered upon a business life, locating in Kansas City in 1890. In 1894 Mr. Hill organized the Black Rock Lumber & Cooperage Co., of which he became vice-president and general manager, at Black Rock, Ark, with offices in Kansas City. Later he organized the Augusta Cooperage Co., of Augusta, Ark., of which he was also vice-president. In 1902 the Ozark Cooperage Co. was organized, of which Mr. Hill is now president. This company moved from Kansas City to St. Louis last February. Mr. Hill was married in 1887 to Miss Lina Graybill, of Springfield, Mo. He comes of a family which were pioneers in temperance reform, and became a prohibitionist in 1887, and has since that time been an active worker for the cause and party. He is a member of the Maplewood Congregational church. Stole From Insane Asylum. John Stadlman, for 18 years chief cook at the hospital for the insane, No. 2, at St. Joseph, has confessed to systematically robbing the institution of blankets, clothing, provisions and numerous small articles. A wagonload of plumber was recovered from his home and taken to the Central police station. Stadlman admits that he had been stealing goods from the asylum storehouse for some time, but as the amount taken each time was small, he can not be prosecuted for a more serious offense than petty larceny. New Banking Institution. A new bank soon will be established in Eureka, St. Louis county. Articles of incorporation have been filed in the recorder's office in Clayton. The capital is $10,000, divided into 100 shares at $100 each, one-half of which has been paid. The capital stock is made up of popular subscription. The largest stockholder holds only ten shares, the smallest two. With four exceptions, all the stockholders live in Meramec township. County Judges Indicted. A sensation was created at Nevada by the indictment by a special grand jury of three judges of the county court. The charge is misappropriation of public money, in that they allowed themselves pay for a day's session in court while at Clinton as witnesses in a suit against the county. The judges are: W. B. Martin, C. C. Pettibone and S. B. Combs. Brakemen Pleaded Guilty. L. L. Haynes and E. Zeigler, the brakemen who were arrested in Jefferson City, after the wreck at Warrensburg, charged with robbing the body of their fellow-brakeman and passengers, pleaded guilty to grand larceny in the circuit court at Warrensburg. Haynes was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. Zeigler's sentence was deferred. Had Wealth, But Died in Squalor. Theodore Stock, who died recently in squalor in Kansas City, had $1,662 in a bank and $5,120 hidden in his shop. Stock was a gunsmith. He lived in extreme penny, eating barely enough to keep him alive. He died without medical attention. Insane Intruder Killed. In a temporary fit of insanity, Jerome O'Shea entered the sleeping apartments of William Hogan, in St. Louis, and was shot and killed. Jerome had been confined in the insane asylum several times. Not Always Fat Men. People who laugh, it seems, do not always grow fat. Judge Peebles, residing near Clinton, is famous for his hearty laugh, yet he is stall and slim. The Register's Opinion. The Register has decided that people who earn their money in Webb City and go away from home to spend it are of very little value to the town. Its Chief Attraction. 18. Other Attractions Charles Monk, of Carthage, recently bought a burro colt which is attracting much attention because it looks like an overgrown jackrabbit. Missouri's Treasury Report.

Acid Thrower at Springfield. Mrs. Flora Snow threw a half pint of carbolic acid into the face of Miss Mary Bunel, severely burning her and causing injuries which will probably result in total blindness, at Springfield. Mrs. Snow, the wife of Hollet Snow Jr. had recently fitted in the circuit court against Miss Bunel for $5,000 damages, charging her with alienating her husband's affections, and is alleged to have threatened her life. Mary Bunel, formerly Mrs. Henry Kee, has for years been before the public as a litigant in the contest over the Bunel estate, which constituted one of the greatest legal battles ever fought in the state and the federal courts of south Missouri.

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. 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.

BISHOPS MUST NOW CONCUR The Compromise Measure, Like the Old Law, Permits Remarriage of Innocent Persons in Divorce For the Cause of Infidelity. Boston, Oct. 21.—By an overwhelming majority a compromise canon on the remarriage of divorced persons was adopted by the house of deputies of the Episcopal general convention, Thursday, and if it is concurred in by the house of bishops, the most important issue that has come before the present convention will be disposed of for at least three years. The compromise measure, like the old law, permits the remarriage of the innocent person in divorce for the cause of infidelity, but further provides that no remarriage shall be allowed within one year after a decree has been issued by a civil court. Satisfactory proof of the innocence of the applicant for remarriage must be furnished in the shape of court records, and after the consent of the bishop is obtained, a clergyman may refuse to perform such a ceremony without subjecting himself to censure or discipline. In the opinjon of Francis A. Lewis, of Philadelphia, member of the committee on canons who favored no remarriage of any divorced persons, but accepted the compromise, the canon adopted Thursday is so strict that if indorsed by the bishops, it will practically put the church, as he expressed it, "out of the divorce business." Others, however, claimed that they saw "loopholes" in it. The vote on the passage stood: Clericals, 52 dioceses for, 7 against, 2 divided; lay vote, 46 dioceses for, 5 against and 2 divided. The house of bishops Thursday nominated Rev. Henry D. Aves, of Houston, Tex., for missionary bishop of Mexico, to have supervision over English-speaking congregations in that country. A two days' session of the national council of the clerical union for the maintenance and defence of Catholic principles, a high church organization, was opened with solemn vespers at the Church of the Advent Thursday night. Bishop Isaac Lee Nicholson, of Milwaukee, president of the union, officiated. PECULIAR RAILROAD WRECK No One Was Injured, But the Train Was Partly Consumed By Fire. San Francisco, Oct. 21.—The westbound express on the Southern Pacific collided, Thursday, with the rear end of a stock train at Yuba Pass. No one was injured, but the accident caused a fire that destroyed the caboose and four cars of the stock train, damaged the passenger engine and burned the express and baggage cars. The fire communicated to the snowsheds, which were consumed for a distance of 2,200 feet. R. J. Laws, superintendent of the Sacramento division of the Southern Pacific, who was on the passenger train, dropped dead, presumably from heart disease. He was one of the best-known railroad men on the Pacific coast. With Supt. Laws at the time of the accident were James Alger, manager of the Southern Pacific, and J. H. Wallace, superintendent of the maintenance and way. They were riding in Mr. Alger's private car. ENGINEER WAS RESPONSIBLE American is Sent to Prison in Mexico For Alleged Responsibility in a Train Wreck. Denver, Col., Oct. 21.—Police Captain Frank Lee received information, Thursday, that his brother Timothy J. Lee, the American locomotive engineer who has been held in prison at Zacatecas, Mexico, since the first of last May, has been found guilty of responsibility for the wrecking of a train which he was pulling, and has been sentenced to hard labor in the salt mines for four years. United States Senator Thomas Patterson will continue his efforts to have the state department at Washington intercede in the unfortunate man's behalf. Engineer Lee was seriously injured in the accident for which he was imprisoned. Requitted by a jury. Nevada, Mo., Oct. 21.—Judge C. C. Pettibon, member of the Vernon county court, who was indicted last week by a grand jury for alleged misappropriation of county funds, was tried here, Wednesday, and acquitted by a jury. Officeers of Cleveland Banquetted. Dartmouth, Eng., Oct. 21.—The officers of the United States cruiser Cleveland were banquetted Thursday night by the mayor, corporation and harbor commission. The only toasts were "The King," "The President of the United States," and "Our Guests." Died in Dentist's Chair. Wabash, Ind., Oct. 21.—Mrs. Ernest Burkholder, wife of a prominent Wabash county farmer, died in the dental chair of Dr. F. E. Grant. Wednesday, while under the influence of chlororm. SECRETARY TAFT GOING TO PANAMA Will Confer With President and Officials of Panama Republic. RUMORS OF FRICTION DENIED The Secretary Will Investigate Questions Arising Out of the Possession By the United States of the Canal Zone. Washington, Oct. 20.—President Roosevelt has instructed Secretary of War Taft to make a personal visit to the Isthmus of Panama, and there to confer with the president and other officials of the Panama republic regarding questions arising out of the possession by the United States of the canal zone. While definite arrangements have not yet been made for Secretary Taft's Mitut SEC. OF WAR WILLIAM H. TAFT. trip, it is his purpose to go to Panama on the army transport Sumner from New York. Secretary Taft is authorized by the president to take with him whomever he pleases in connection with the work at hand, and while the personnel of the party has not yet been arranged, it is certain to be a large one. Representing Panama will be Minster Oubaldia. Admiral John Walker will go as a representative of the canal commission. Judge Charles Magood, the law officer of the commission, and of the bureau of insular affairs, who has been of much assistance in framing orders and regulations for the canal strip, also will be of the party. The members of the senate and house committee dealing with isthmian affairs will be invited, and as the entire trip, it is expected, can be made inside of a month, and little legislation is expected within the first two weeks of the approaching session of congress, it is believed the committeemen will find time to make the trip. One reason why Secretary Taft desires the committee's attendance is because he feels that as they must legislate for the next ten years concerning the canal strip, they will be better qualified for this important work by a personal knowledge of conditions on the isthmus. There were rumors immediately on the publication of the president's letter to the effect that Secretary Taft's trip was caused by friction between the three controlling elements on the isthmus, the Panama government, the American minister and the canal commission, but Secretary Taft explicitly denied this. SPECIAL RATES TO VOTERS They Will Also Be Allowed a Ten-Day Stop-Over at the World's Fair in St. Louis. St. Louis, Oct. 20.—Special rates have been made by the Washington terminal lines to voters in the following states going home from the District of Columbia to vote on November 8, 1904, with special ten day stop-over privileges in St. Louis to see the World's fair: Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, northwestern Michigan and the Dakotas. The rates from various points in these states to Washington via St. Louis has been set at $21.50. An extra fee of $1 is charged for the validating fee at St. Louis. This announcement is made in a circular letter sent out from the terminal lines in Washington, entitled "A Notice to Voters." MISSOURIAN ADMITS MURDER Edgar McKenzie Claims He Killed John Smithers at Instigation of Latter's Wife. Fayette, Mo., Oct. 20.—Edgar McKenzie, a young man, confessed on Wednesday that he had shot John Smithers, a farmer, on the latter's place near here, and declared that he had been influenced by Smith's wife to commit the deed. Smithers was shot several days ago, and died Wednesday, when McKenzie was arrested. McKenzie says he shot Smithers from behind as the latter was working in the field. TAFT ORDERED TO PANAMA Secretary of War Taft to Confer With the President of Panama On the Canal Question.

The Democrats declare against imperialism in the Philippines, but are silent on mob barbarism in America. The 596 Afro-Americans employed by the United States treasury department draw salaries aggregating $391,834 per annum. The government printing office at Washington, D. C., employs 320 Afro-Americans and they earn $210,874 every year. Afro-Americans in close congressional districts should work hard to elect congressmen. We cannot afford to lose a single district. The Macon Telegraph says: "The white South is determined to govern its own without the consent or participation of the black South." The progress of the Afro-American people in 30 years of freedom has been greater than that of any other race recorded in history. A great deal of this progress should be credited to the Republican party. John Temple Graves, the Democratic editor of the Democratic Atlanta News, in a leading editorial defends lynching and advocates the revival of the Ku Klux Klan for terrorizing the Afro-Americans of the South. John is an important cog in the Democratic machine, and he openly advocates what many of his compatriots have practiced secretly for years. M. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Republican Candidate for President of the United States. 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 ``` Bryan's tour of Indiana will make many votes—for Roosevelt. Those who want freedom from work may obtain it by voting for Parker. The buttons of the Maryland Parker and Davis clubs bear the legend, "The White Man Must Ruie." The Democratic speakers are garbling President Roosevelt's words in a desperate attempt to make it appear that he advocated lynch law. President Roosevelt has handled the reins of government in a masterly manner. The people are satisfied, and he will be elected in November. It is fortunate in the present crisis in the history of the Afro-American people that a man with the courage and humanity of Roosevelt is president. If Parker should, by some inscrutable act of providence, happen to be elected president, there would be dark days ahead for the dark people of this country. "Rally Around the Flag, Boys," we'll defend it with our lives against the attacks of Tillman, Vardaman, Graves & Co., and all the anarchists they can marshal. In New Orleans last week a Caucasian killed an Afro-American in cold blood. The Picayune referred to the matter as "an fortunate accident." The Picayune is a democratic paper. At a recent Democratic meeting one speaker declared: "The 'nigger' has no more right to the ballot than a two-year-old child has with a pistol." That's straight Democratic doctrine. The Afro-American can never be charged with ingratitude. He realizes what the Republican party has done for him and will stand by the party in this campaign as he has done in the past. No better man could have been nominated for congress than Mr. Harry M. Coudrey, who is one of the most perfect gentlemen in St. Louis. Every man should work and vote for Mr. Coudrey. At the meeting of the Pleasant Workers' club, last Sunday, it was decided that said club would give an entertainment and concert on Thanksgiving night, November 25. Everybody is invited. Mrs. M. A. Gilree, President. Parker and Davis clubs are being formed in Mississippi. Now that the Afro-Americans have been disfranchised and few white Republican votes are counted the reason for such political activity is not clear to the average mind. Mr. Hiram Lloyd, chairman of the Twelfth congressional committee, has mapped out the work for the next seven days, and this district will be thoroughly worked, and if Mr. Coudrey is not elected it will be no fault of this young republican leader. Says the Charleston News and Courier: "We have abiding faith in the recognition by our northern brethren of the fact that the Anglo-Saxon race is entitled to run this country." There are many people in this country who are not Anglo-Saxons, such as the Germans, French, Scandinavians, Irish, Bohemians, Hungarians, Italians, Spanish and other nationalities. Everywhere they assist the Anglo-Saxon in "running" the country, and in many of the large cities and some of the states they have relieved him of his burden of ruling. Circuit Judges—William M. Kinsey, Matt G. Reynolds, D. D. Fisher, William Zachritz and James E. Withrow. Circuit Attorney—Arthur N. Sager. Reports from Indiana say that George L. Knox, of the Freeman, will enter the race as an independent candidate for congress for the purpose of defeating Congressman Overstreet, against whom he has a grievance. There is no chance for Mr. Knox's election. He can do the cause of his race no good, but much harm may result if he stays in the fight. If he is interested in upholding President Roosevelt's policy of giving the Afro-American a square deal, Mr. Knox ought to withdraw. Be good, Brother Knox, and get off the track. When George L. Knox, the manager of the Freeman's Journal, made a speech in St. Paul chapel, 2800 Lawton avenue, St. Louis, Mo., we then said he was bordering on insanity and democracy. Now you see the result. The many subscribers to the Freeman's Journal can now see where this old gray-headed sire would lead them —into the Democratic ranks. The Paladium man fought Richard Bardolt, congressman of the Tenth district, St. Louis, Mo.; but when he got the nomination we stopped, recognizing that the party judgment was better than ours. We do not say, Brother Knox, get off the track. We say, let him stand, let the result be what it will in that district. But after November 8 there is a recount. Then place him where he belongs. Any man that can forget so soon who made him a man and gave him the privileges which he now turns his back on, ought to be branded with the mark of Cain. We know that Brother Knox can now sing the song, let the result be as it may, "I got mine, boys, I got mine." 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 not 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. A recent political mass meeting in Vicksburg, Miss., broke up in a row. Several shots were fired, and one man has a bullet in his side. It is needless to add that the Afro-Americans were not in it. They've been disfranchised in Mississippi. Parker overlooks the deplorable condition of the Afro-American people in this country. He forgets that thousands are slaughtered in cold blood every year because they dare exercise their rights as free men, but looks across the deep blue sea at the Filipinos, ten thousand miles away, and pretends that he wishes to secure for those brown people the libes his party denies black people inica. THE MUSEUM OF THE WEST 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 ... 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? A Grand Republican Rally At the True Reformers' hall, 2600 Pine street, Monday night, October 24, addresses will be made by the following persons: Hon. Hiram Lloyd, chairman of the Tenth congressional commission, Mr. J. W. Wheeler, Mr. Chas. H. Dodge, Prof. P. H. Murrey, Captian C. H. Tandy and Mrs. Marie P. Williams, national organizer of Women's Republican clubs, who will speak on women in politics. Good music and refreshment will be served. All come and bring your lady with you.

I thought perhaps someone would like to buy this hog, as there would be good money in a show of it. It is wonderful to see how this hog can get around so well, and is very quick in moving. 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 Olive Branch, a musical and literary society composed of the young ladies of the senior and junior classes, celebrated the president's return by tendering him a complimentary banquet to which they invited the entire faculty. It was Shakespeare night with the club and the young ladies carried out a most excellent programme from a business as well as from a literary standpoint. Repairing to the large dining hall the guests found that this ordinarily plain, although cheerful apartment had been converted into a veritable bower of loveliness by the well developed taste and skillful fingers of these young ladies.

THE HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM pared by them under the supervision of the department of domestic science, the table linen, the result of skill attained in the department of laundering, the pretty costumes of the hostesses, in many cases the product of their own hands, as a result of the department of serving, the excellent rendition of instrumental and vocal music with which the various courses, were interpered in a manner highly complimentary to the department of music, the logical thought and grammatical expression of the papers and orations, a testimonial to the English department, in fact, the entire effect produced by the banquet was of such nature as to conclusively prove the high and far-reaching character of the work that is being done in Lincoln institute. And as one reflects that these young women are to become the home-makers and house keepers of the future, the social leaders of the communities in which they dwell, the feeling of satisfaction that the problem is receiving such careful attention in Missouri's state school is intensified; and as President Allen remarked on this occasion: "It would be an excellent object lesson if the picture of this scene could be distributed to the public. . 8 ARNETT’S PLACE E.

Washington, Oct. 19—The surgeon- general of the army has concurred in the recommendation of en. Grant that John J. Smith, a member of the United States army hospital corps, stationed at Fort Mott, N. J., who is said to have married a negress, be dis- charged from the army “for the good of the service.” ‘This recommendation has been forwarded to the secretary of war for his action. : Gen. Grant acted on the recommen- dation of Contract Surgeon Sparren- berg, post medical officer at Fort Mott, N. J. who complained of alleged mis- conduct,on the part of ‘Smith prior to /his marriage. Smith wrote to the war department inquiring if there was any reason why he should not be permitted to marry a colored woman, setting forth that her character was good, and that he could establish a’ good char- acter for himself by his record. The post commander at Fort Mott, in for- warding the paper to department hgad- quarters, did not add his approval to the post surgeon's recommenation for Smith's discharge. AUNT LIZA'S LYE HOMINY. Old-Fashioned Dish That Makes an Excellent Breakfast Food Rightly Made. Aunt ‘Liza, an old-time colored wom- an, makes a kettleful of lye hominy every Friday, and on Saturday morning Uncle Rufe delivers it, in his dilapidat- ed wheelbarrow, to the white folks. Re- cently, I had Aunt ’Liza show me how she makes her hominy, writes Grace Murray-Stephenson, in Good House- keeping. The white gourd seed corn is the best to use for hominy, as the Kansas corn is so hard that, if it has to be used, it should be soaked over night and cooked longer than the native corn. One quart of shelled corn makes four quarts of hominy. For each quart of corn used, sift one quart of wood ashes from hard wood; oak is excellent, cedar ashes lacking sufficient strength, Aunt "Liza has a theory that after the sap be- gins to rise, the ashes will not do, but IT am inclined to think this is one of her Many superstitions, as I can see nc difference. Tie the ashes loosely in a cloth or bag, as it saves much time in washing the corn, Put the bag of ashes and the corn in a vessel large enough to allow for swelling and cover with water. Cook over a moderate fire until the skin separates from the kernel of the corn, Then wash in many waters ‘until not a trace of the ashes remains. Cook again until tender, changing the water three times, When thoroughly. done, it is ready to prepare for the table. It makes an excellent breakfast food served with sugar and cream. But the usual method of serving is to fry it. First crush with a potato masher, then fry with a few pieces of fat meat, sea- soning with salt and pepper. Add enough water to give it a creamy con- sistency. Where wcod ashes cannot be had, con- centrated lye is used, adding about a tablespoonful to a gallon of water be- fore putting in the corn. Aunt "Liza safd she “never saw any consecrated lye” until about 50 years ago, as they made all their lye for soap from wood ashes in the historic old hopper. Then when the concentrated lye came into use even for lye hominy, Aunt 'Liza said she “was 'bleeged to taste it” to see if the water was strong enough to skin the corn. “Didn't it burn your mouth, sometimes?” I asked. “Cose it did, honey, but in them days, when I was comin’ on, we didn’t say nothin’ if it did!” 29 W.

That we are workers together with Christ in bringing the world to God is a thought on which we do well to meditate. In the case of the missionary, this relationship is easily discerned. The life of the messenger connects the life of Christ to the life to the people to whom he goes. In him they see Christ and through Christ they see God. As Christ bore a perfect witness to the true nature of God, so the missionary, as he is able, bears witness to the nature of God as revealed in Christ. As holy love, the nature of God can be most perfectly set forth in suffering; the son of God came among us and suffered for us, leaving an example that we should follow in His steps. With Christ it was inevitable that He should suffer for us; for we were the sheep wandering away on the mountains, dark and cold; and He was the Shepherd who came to seek and to save that which was lost. How a community will arouse itself when a little child has wandered away in the woods and falls to return when the evening shadows begin to lengthen, says Henry P. Colestock, in Baptist Standard. Men and boys leave their tasks undone, some in their haste even neglect to eat their evening meal. Gathering at the farmhouse they learn what they can of the direction taken by the little child. All night long they search the hillsides with lanterns and torches forgetful of the privation of sleep, forgetful of fatigue and bruises and torn garments. And why do these men thus spend the night, uncomplaining and even glad in their toilless service? Ah! the answer is not hard to find. The peril of the little child has touched the deepest springs of their hearts, and their night's search is a labor of love. With what joy they return in the morning. The child had wandered to the other side of the hill into the dense forest and was found only as the morning light scattered the darkness. Christ came to seek and to save the lost. And in doing this He suffered; He could not do otherwise. He is seeking and suffering all the time. And He will continue to do this until the end of time. The Christ-spirit in you must seek and suffer for the redemption of the world. For only as the Christ-life is relived in His followers are impenetent men awakened to turn from their sins and find their true home with God. THE DEVIL. God but tests where the devil tempts. Only the devil can make a dime look like a dollar. Toe the devil's line and you must march to his time. Every man is tempted to make bread out of the devil's flour. Your mother's apron strings are away ahead of the devil's towline. Lost manhood is the finished product of devilhood.-United Presbyterian. The devil would be almost harmless if The devil would be almost harmless if he operated only in his own territory. It is while we are winking at one sin that the devil shovels in a peck of others. The devil's guns cannot be trained on those who stand on the mount with God. The devil is always willing you should hold the lines if he may choose the road. You may have peace from the devil when you are wholly possessed by the devil. The devil always indorses the man who doesn't need to go to Sunday school. A Scripture quotation may be a Satanic argument when chosen with a sinful motive.—Ram's Horn. On a Mother's Heart. "On the morning of the day when I was going to the city to be ordained and go to my first charge," says Rev. J. H. Wilson, of Edinburgh, "my mother came to the door to bid me good-by. Holding my hand, she said: 'You are going to be ordained to day, and you will be told your duty by those who know it far better than I do; but I wish you to remember one thing, which, perhaps, they may not tell you. Whenever you lay your hand on a child's head you are laying it on its mother's heart.'" Mr. Wilson has met with marked success in winning boys and girls THE FAITH OF GOD. How the Christian Should Have and May Have More Than Faith in God. The whole framework of human life is built up of faith of some kind. Whether it takes the form of the filial confidence of a child in a parent, the reverence of a pupil for a teacher, the implicit confidence of a soldier in his captain, or the familiar form of commercial credit, faith is the energizing and constructive principle in all human experience. To be sure, this faith so-called may exist in some instances in a very feeble and seemingly insignificant form—as in the case of the love of a dog for his master, or the superstitious veneration of a savage for his fetish—but faith it is, of a kind, even if its size be small as a mustard seed. All these occurrences of faith are very full of significance as showing how impossible it is for humanity to get on without imposing confidence in a hundred persons every day. And all these varied manifestations of belief or trust in others combine to make a great total of testimony to the supreme worth of faith exercised in a Godward direction or what may be called religious faith, as distinguished from mere social confidence, filial trust, or business credit. The Bible abounds in exhortations to faith and promises made to faith. One of the sweetest and most tender encouragements of this kind is the word of the Master recorded in the eleventh chapter of Mark, when He said to the disciples who were still wondering at the miracle of the cursed fig-tree, "Have faith in God!" Nothing might seem more natural than to have faith in God, since men so frequently repose faith in their fellows, and yet as a matter of fact, faith Godward seems to be very difficult for many, either because of their lack of a realizing sense of the existence and power of God, or because some sin has been admitted into the personal life which obscures the vision of God or temporarily paralyzes the powers of belief, says the New York Observer. Very significant was the question asked by the Master on one memorable occasion, when the disciples in an emergency had been found lacking in the faith-power: "How it is that ye have no faith?" It was needful that the disciples should then and there take account of their spiritual experience, examine themselves whether they were using the right means to generate and supply faith or not, and detect just where the flaw lay in their emotional or more likely volitional processes, involving them in doubt and despair. "How is it that ye have no faith?" The "how" of faith is as needful to consider as the "what" or the "why" or belief. The Bible is a complete text-book on faith, and the patient and prayerful student of its pages will find the whole method and means of belief satisfactorily explained and illustrated in its varied volumes. "Have faith in God!" This tense injunction of our Lord is both a command and an implied promise. It is the expressed will of God that men should have faith in Him. God is honored by faith and requires faith. No earthly father is pleased if his children, no matter how constantly or particularly he may seek to express his love for them, continue to disbelieve in his goodness and tell him in so many words: "We do not believe what you say!" The Almighty demands that men believe that He means what He says, and that He has the power to effectuate His own promises. There is furthermore a deeper meaning to be found in this exhortation of Jesus, for in the original the expression used by Christ, after the cursing of the fig-tree, denotes "Have the faith of God." This turn of thought seems to open up to view the whole biblical theory of faith as something which comes from God, exists in God, and is sustained by God. God so to speak is the great ground of faith and also its end and aim. He is the author and the finisher of faith. The divine presence is the very atmosphere in which faith thrives, and wherein it comes to fullest fruitage. When Jesus then demanded faith from His disciples, He also inspired it. He connected faith with the life and grace of the Heavenly Father Himself. The disciples were not to present before the Lord a man-made faith, a kind of an artificial trust, or simulated confidence, but to gain and exercise godlike faith which is a divine gift as well as a human grace, and is first a gift before it is a grace. "Have God's faith!" said Jesus by which He meant not of course a faith which God needs to feel in anyone higher than Himsel" for there is none higher, but the faith which circles about God—its Fount and its supreme object of adoration. "Have the faith of God!" No word of exhortation, in this sin-weary world, needs to be more often repeated than this tense injunction. Doubt and despair are in one sense easy, but they are never comfortable nor safe. Faith is the constructive and ennobling principle in life. Without faith it is impossible to please God, but by faith all things right are made practicable for the Christian. Only believe, and all things for you and for others will be gilded with the promise which betokens and symbolizes the golfin glory of the coming heavenly state. To be hospitable to the devil is to be hostile to God. When the devil invites a man to the far country he furnishes no return ticket—United Presbyterian. As God is mightier than Satan, so are the constructive forces of the world mightier than the destructive.—United Presbyterian WOMAN AND HOME Coming Styles Are Calculated to Make Women Appear Quite Broad in Shoulder. Woman is the anatomical chameleon. She changes her measurements with each season. To the unitiated male mind she becomes long or short waisted, sloping or square shouldered, big or low busted, without any apparent inconvenience—a demonstration that the operation, whatever it may be, is a painless one. But she is as essentially different in each phase as though she had been born again. If you study the lady carefully this year, says the New York World, you will find that she has lost practically three inches in length of line from neck to waist (from 18 to less than $15\%$ inches), that she has gained fully two inches of shoulder, and that from neck to toe in front she has lost something of that seemingly interminable line which was a la mode last season. Why? The reasons are not far to seek. Gowns are no longer simply bourant above. They are trimmed from the hem up to the knee; they have widened in A CHANGES IN MEASUREMENT. (The "New Lines" Over the Figure of the Season Just Closed.) scope and flare at the side, thus foreshortening the picture. To go back to first causes, the corset is the foundation for every new figure. The severe straight-front is no longer shic. The idea remains, but with modifications. It has become possible to define the waist in front, and it is no longer a social crime to show a suspicion of the curve immediately below. While we are still suppressed, we are more hygienic. With the raising of the waist-line come the heightening of the girdle, the fullness of the skirt, the increase of the sleeve and the evolution of the cape. It is all a logical sequence. We are no longer in the realistic period. We are grown romantic. Woman has reverted from the analytical to the mysterious. The serpentine heroine is not popular, hence there are no more sheath gowns that define all the contours. The woman of to-day is concealing rather than revealing. She allures by the prospect of discovery.. She buries herself in flouces and frills. She keeps you guessing. You are as liable to miscalculate her weight as you are to err about her height. The suggestions of the coming revolution that last season's fashions gave were all tentative. There was a hint of the old-fashioned basque. This year we have the basque itself, but instead of the garment of other days it has become a little coat with the basque back. The old-fashioned basque prescribed the bustle, but our adherence to the better lines of the "straight-front" has averted that terrifying necessity. The introduction of the silk overjacket of contrasting shade for evening frocks is the revival of a caprice of our grandmothers. It is worn with a gown of chiffon or illusion, preferably white, the jacket being of some light color. This was a fashion formerly associated with the Grecian Bend. But we have now the beauty of the mode without its extreme. Last season we touched upon the military. This year we have "arrived." But it is the picturesque military. The directoire is the favored style. The high girdle, the flaring revers and the so-called coat sleeve, which is large and loose with deep cuff, strapped with gold, which lessens the length of arm. The train has become an impossibility save in evening gowns. The wide skirt does not admit of it on the street, where it would be a serious incubus to the wearer, and an involuntary street-cleaner which must arouse every sanitary expert in the country. The whole tendency of the year is to color—not neutral tints, but those that salute the eye with quick surprise. All the blues have grown brighter. Scarlet that is scarlet is in the ascendant, and the greens are brilliant. Woman is not subtle, she is merely elusive in her present phase. Unique Receptacle for Candy. An odd little receptacle for candy is made of brown linen, in the shape of a small money bag. The bag is tied with stout brown cord. The bag holds a small round box, on the top of which are fastened several sequins, so that when the box is in place in the bag all that is visible are the sequins, giving the impression that the bag is full of money. Sleep with Mouth Closed. People who sleep with their mouths shut live longest. DAINTY TRIFLES FOR BABY. Small Luxuries Which Seem to Be in Extraordinary Demand at the Present Time. If there is one person who receives more presents than a bride it is a baby. No one likes to visit in the home of friends who have a new baby without taking a present of some sort to that all-important person. And by the time every one has given Sir Baby some trifle, he is likely to have enough duplicates to start a miniature department store. The Washington Star says that one of the conceits for a baby who is old enough to hold a spoon and feed himself is a food pusher, which comes in a set with a spoon. It is a silver piece with a handle like a spoon or fork, but having in place of a bowl a silver bar several inches long with which the small person pushes food on to his spoon. It teaches him not to use his fingers and enables him to keep his food within the limits of the plate instead of decorating the table linen with it. A novel bottle holder for the baby who likes to toss his bottle to the floor when he has finished with it is a delight to mothers. It is a metal frame which can be attached to the arm of a high chair or carriage, and from which hangs a sort of cage-like case for the bottle. This holder swings in any direction, and when the bottle is fastened in baby can drink to his heart's content, and, try as he may, he cannot throw it away. In dainty white satin heart-shaped boxes are sets of bib pins in gold enamel, and in all designs, connected with fine gold chains, are baby pins for the back of dresses and slips. Silver cups are given to children for christening gifts, as well as small-sized loving cups appropriately engraved. Mugs of a heavy English decorated china make useful presents for babies of two and three years. A plain gold bracelet clasping invisibly has a little ring inserted in the top for rosettes of baby ribbon. This is for baby to wear when he is dressed in his prettiest frock. While babies are not the most successful ring wearers, oftentimes a little gold band is given to a child for a christening gift or for a birthday present. The ring is made for the middle finger so that it can be worn successively on the ring finger and later on the little digit. Amber beads are supposed to ward off croup and are popular gifts. Ivory sets, consisting of comb, brush, powder box and puff, soap box, rattle and teething ring are arranged in silk-lined baskets. There are, of course, no end of boots and toys, silver rattles and silver chimes, rubber animals and house balls which can be selected for little ones, but nowadays it is the custom to give a baby some remembrance which can be engraved and kept until he is old enough to know he had friends when he was a small morsel of humanity. PRETTY EGG SHELL GARDEN Just How to Manage a Novel and Easy Experiment in Artistic Home Decoration. It is easy to have an egg-shell garden. Carefully cut off the end of the egg for about one-third of its length, treating it with more respect than the cook does, for she breaks it in two in the middle by cracking it on the edge of the cup. Fill the shell with good earth, and plant almost any seed that you like. If plant food supplied in tablets is used, the shells may be filled with sawdust or with gravel. AN EGG SHELL GARDEN Plants artificially fed in sawdust do not seem to require so many roots as when they grow in soil. With the limited space in the egg-shell, sawdust and the plant food are therefore preferable to soil. It is not difficult to have plants grow in sawdust until they are more than two feet high, although there is so little space in the shell for the roots. To support these unique, round-bottomed "flower pots," it will be found convenient to have a board with holes bored in it just large enough to have the egg-shells set firmly, one in each hole. Don't get the holes too near together. Punch a small hole down through the shell for drainage—St. Nicholas. 10 Teach Gracious Sleeping.

Mrs. De Long Finds that the Indescribable Pains of Rheumatism Can be Cured Through the Blood. Mrs. E. M. De Long, of No. 160 West Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa, found herself suddenly attacked by rheumatism in the winter of 1896. She gave the doctor a chance to help her, which he failed to improve, and then she did some thinking and experimenting of her own. She was so successful that she deems it her duty to tell the story of her escape from suffering : "My brother-in-law," she says, "was enlististic on the subject of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a purifier of the blood, and when I was suffering extreme pains in the joints of my ankles, knees, hips, wrists and elbows, and the doctor was giving me no relief, I began to reflect that rheumatism is a disease of the blood and that, if Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are so good for the blood, they must be good for rheumatism and worth a trial. "I was in bed half the time, suffering with pain that cannot be described to one who has never had the disease. It would concentrate sometimes in one set of joints. When it was in my feet I could not walk, when it was in my elbows and wrists I could not even draw the coverlets over my body. I had suffered in this way for weeks before I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Two weeks after I began with them I experienced relief and after I had taken six boxes I was entirely well. To make sure I continued to use them about two weeks longer and then stopped altogether. For several years I have had no reason to use them for myself, but I have recommended them to others as an excellent remedy." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills furnish the blood with all the elements that are needed to build up healthy tissue, strong muscles and nerves, capable of bearing the strain that nature puts upon them. They really make new blood and cure all diseases arising from disorders of the blood or nerves, such as sciatica, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nevous prostration, anemia and all forms of weakness in either male or female. They are sold by all drudgists. Daniel Webster's Boots. A retired Bath resident who was a clerk in a Boston shoe store when a lad tells the following story of Dantel Webster. One morning the Bath boy, who had to report early and sweep out the store before the proprietor arrived, received a call from Mr. Webster. The noted statesman was fitted with a new pair of shoes without any trouble by the clerk, who considered it in honor to fit a boot to Mr. Webster. The old pair was left in the store, and Mr. Webster said he would call around later and pay the proprietor. The clerk knew that his chief was acquainted with Mr. Webster, and when the proprietor arrived informed him of the sale with a great deal of pride. The propietor compartmented the Bath boy upon the sale, but closed with the remark: "I probably will never receive pay for the boots," and the sale was charged up to the profit and loss account—Lewiston Journal.

SAFEST FOOD In Any Time of Trouble Is Grape-Nuts Food to rebuild the strength and that is pre digested must be selected when one is convalescent. At this time there is nothing so valuable as Grape-Nuts for the reason that this food is all nourishment and is also all digestible nourishment. A woman who used it says: "Some time ago I was very ill with typhoid fever, so ill everyone thought I would die, even myself. It left me so weak I could not properly digest food of any kind and I also had much bowel trouble which left me a weak, helpless wreck. "I needed nourishment as badly as anyone could, but none of the tonics helped me until I finally tried Grape-Nuts food morning and evening. This not only supplied food that I thought delicious as could be but it also made me perfectly well and strong again so I can do all my housework, sleep well, can eat anything without any trace of bowel trouble and for that reason alone Grape-Nuts food is worth its weight in gold." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Typhoid fever like some other diseases attacks the bowels and frequently sets up bleeding and makes them for months incapable of digesting the starchs and therefore pre digested Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the well-known reason that in Grape-Nuts all the starchs have been transformed into grape sugar. This means that the first stage of digestion has been mechanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts food at the factories and therefore anyone, no matter how weak the stomach, can handle it and grow strong, for all the nourishment is still there. There's a sound reason and 10 days trial proves. THE SUNDAY BIBLE SCHOOL Lesson in the International Series for October 23, 1904—"Elisha and Naaman." (Prepared by the "Highway and Byway" Preacher.) (Copyright, 1894, by J. M. Edson.) LESSON TEXT (II, Kings 51-14: Memory verses, 10-14) 1. Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him the Lord had given deliverance unto Syria; he was also a mighty man in valor, but he was a leaper. 2. And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel the maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife. 3. And she said unto her mistress: Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samarai? for he would recover him of his leprosy. 4. And she went in and told his lord, saying: Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel. 5. And the king of Syria said: Go to, go, and I send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of god, and ten changes of raiment. 6. And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying: Now, when this letter is come unto thee, behold I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy. 7. And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, that he sent his God to kill and to make alive, that this man both send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy. Wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me. 8. And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying: Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? Let him come now to me, and he saws that there is a prophet in Israel. 9. So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariton, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. 10. And Elisha sait with his horses unto him, saying: Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy shile shall come again to thee, and thou shail be clean. 11. But Naaman was wroth, and went out to the house of Elisha. He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the lenner. 12. Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? May I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage. And his servants came near, and spake unto him and said; My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldst thou not have done it? How much rather then, when he saith unto thee: Wash, and be clean? 14. Then he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was soaked in the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

A Hopeless Case (V. 1).—A great general—A king's favorite—A distinguished man—An honorable man—A man of valor—BUT A LEPER. All the power, all the distinction, all the honor, all the success which the world may give to man cannot cover up that little word of three letters—BUT. Naaman had everything the world could give—but he was a leper. There is a BUT that stands between every soul and peace of mind and true haappiness. No matter what this world may say of a soul, God has to add. But he is a sinner. The case is hopeless. The Glad Tidings (Vs. 2-4).—There was another, BUT a bright one, which had to be reckoned with in Naaman's life. Naaman was a leper, BUT there was a Hebrew maid in his household that knew God and God's power to save. Man is a sinner, Rom. 3:23; I John 1:8; BUT Jesus has come ready to cleanse and mighty to save. I John 1:9; Heb. 7:25. An Humble Messenger—"Captive out of Israel . . . a little maid"—God is pleased to use very humble means sometimes. She was only a little Hebrew slave, but she had a message. It was (1) A simple message. She knew the true God. She knew of His servant Elisha, and these two thoughts were the theme of her message. (2) A positive message. "He would recover him of his leprosy." There were no its, and orbs but about it. The simple, positive Gospel message is the most powerful. The Quest for Help (Vs. 5-8).—Naaman went with (1) Credentials from the King, (2) Great treasure. But Naaman had to learn that God's favor could not be bought. There is nothing the soul can do to merit God's saving grace, Isa. 64: 6. Conditions of Deliverance (V. 10).—So simple. Seven dips in Jordan and then healing. The way of salvation is so simple, so easy, so sure. Repentance for sin, Faith in Christ as Saviour. That Naaman had arranged in his own mind just how he to be healed is evident from verse 11. How common is this mistake. The Peril of Pride (Vs. 11-12).—"Naaman was wroth and went away." Ah, how many souls quarrel with God because pride bars their way to salvation. "God is no respecter of persons." We must all come as needy, helpless sinners, or not at all. The Deliverance (Vs. 13-14)—Thank God there were wise servants in Naaman's retinue to advise him. Thank God Naaman had sense enough to listen and courage enough to heed. Naaman obeyed the prophet's orders and was cleansed. And when man is ready to obey God, deliverance always comes. Religious Thought. Intolerance is a virtue when it opposes vice. The passion of Christ is the power of Christianity. Christ Jesus went out of His way to save the world and the world must go out of its way to save others. He who is afraid of doing too much for his neighbor will never worry over his neighbor doing too much for him. When religion turns Shylock and demands its pound of flesh there will always be some gentle Portia to defeat its purpose—United Presbyterian.

A German scientist and philanthropist, Prof. Baron, who died recently, had a great scheme for the rearing of children on a strictly vegetarian diet. He believed that the result would prove that men and women may be just as strong and healthy when they live on a wholly vegetable diet as on a part meat and part vegetable diet. Prof. Baron bequeathed the sum of $177,500 to the city of Berlin to found an educational institution for the trial of his unique experiment. His offer has not yet been accepted because the common council is not able to agree. The matter has been publicly discussed in a very vigorous manner, and the vegetarians in Berlin are making a strong effort to force the acceptance of the money. They have proposed that a test in the shape of a walking match between vegetarian and meat-eating children be made to determine their relative strength.—Philadelphia Press. The Moor and the Spaniard. Having seen something of Spain, I have my theories, and they are as follows: We are accustomed to look upon the Spaniard as a European. He is not one; he is largely a Moor in blood and much more in character. The Moor did not possess his country for 800 years and leave it as if he had not been there. It is from him the Spaniard of to-day gets his religious fanaticism, his fatalism, much of his architecture and music, his pride and ceremonious manner, his social characteristics (appearing chiefly in his treatment of women), his tribal instincts, and want of administrative capacity, which have made it impossible for the various petty, kingdoms of Spain ever to really unite on one stable government; his want of capability of preparation, and finally his bloodthirstiness, which last, unhappily, cannot be denied—Capt. Chadwick U. S. N. in Seriber's. Sheep in Great Britain: The county figures just issued showing the number of sheep kept in Great Britain this year point to a slight but welcome increase of prosperity for our stockmasters. In England there has been an average increase of ten head for every 1,000 sheep, in Scotland an increase of 22, and in Wales of 23. The average number of sheep to every 1,000 cultivated acres in Great Britain is 464, the total stock being nearly 27,000,000. The best stocked county is Kent, with 957 head to each 1,000 acres; the worst—leaving out the county of London—is Cheshire, with 145. London is included in the returns as a sheep county, although it is far and away at the bottom of the list with an aggregate stock of only 5,437 out of the 27,000,000 kept in Great Britain—Tit-Bits.

"Reginald De Koven was touring the country with one of his operas," said a New York musician, "and a certain Sunday found him in the town of Dayton. They told Mr. De Koven that an Episcopal church in the neighborhood had a super organ. Accordingly, he went to that church, ascended to the organ loft, and sat beside the organist during the morning's service. "You seem to know something about music," said the organist in a condescending way. "I'll let you dismiss the congregation if you like." "Why, yes," said De Koven, "I would like that very much." "Accordingly, at the end of the recessional, he exchanged places with the organist and began to play Mendelssohn's 'Spring Song.' He played beautifully. The Dayton people, enthralled by the wonderful music, refused to depart. They sat in rapt enjoyment, and after the 'Spring Song' was finished, Mr. De Koven began Chopin's 'French Music.'" "Suddenly a heavy hand was laid on his shoulder and he was pushed off the music stock. "You can't dismiss a congregation," said the organist, impatient. "Watch and see how soon I'll get them out." HE LIKED TO "SUCCUMB." Brewery Man Wore the White Ribbon Because He Was Tempted and Treated. Mrs. Robert J. Burdette tells a story about the white ribbon which is the sign of total abstinence. "There are some persons," said Mrs. Burdette, according to the Chicago Daily News, "who don't wear the white ribbon with sincerity. They wear it, perhaps, about as hypocritically as it was worn by an employee of a certain brewery. This employee, after years of dissipation, appeared one day at the brewery with the white ribbon, and was asked to him and he wore the ribbon for some months. Then one day the head of the firm, happening to notice the man's badge, approached him. 'Why, Frank,' he said, it is strange to see you, a brewer, wearing the white ribbon. 'It does look strange, sir, the man admitted.' "Well, said the brewer, 'why do you do it?' It is like this, said the workman. 'I wear the ribbon because it makes men like to tempt me, and when I'm tempted I succumb, sir.'" Piso's Cure for Consumption is an infallible medicine for coughs and colds. N. W.

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.

SOMETHING NEW ELIZABETH TEMPLE NO.12 Alzamon Ira Lucas, Ph. D., PP. 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: divorcees, 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 is it not a fact to-day that the average child knows more than 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 Duffo BEQUEATHS $100,000 TO BOOKER WASHINGTON. Iowa Millionaire Also Remembers Drunkards' Home, Salvation Army and Babies of His Relatives.

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—the degenerate blending of human inertia—find way into the world and are tossed upon seas of adversity or linger in cesspools 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. A. 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 Tuskee 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 Callahan family within a year, however distant the relationship, shall receive $500 each—St. Louis Republic.
