Notes and News Concerning Our People--Weekly Record of Social Events, Deaths, Marriages and Births--Written Especially for St. Louis Palladium.

Who is it that lives in Illinois, because he wants his children to go to white schools! Negroes that want to be white, it is a pitty they are not. Poor fools! DUMAS DRAMATIC CLUB REQUESTS THE PUBLIC TO DECIDE A QUESTION. The people remember the above organization from its meritorious presentation of several dramas in various first-class theaters of this city, and now the club has decided to reproduce one of their former dramas at the Odeon theater, on Grand avenue, Monday evening, January 9, 1905, and we ask the people to decide which of our former plays they would be more desirous of seeing the club reproduce. The following plays have been our efforts since the club's organization in 1901: "Bound by an Oath," domestic drama in four acts and prologue, by David COUPON. Name..... Address.....

Why was not the meeting held at St. Paul's chapel, where 1,600 or 1,700 ladies and gentlemen could be present? Why was the change made? Is it possible that there is a ring in a ring? If so, look well to the men in that ring. Miss Mary L. Ross, the cousin of E. H. Taylor, the attorney, is now the belle of St. Louis. She has written a play that will be produced very soon under the auspices of the All Saints' church. We know it is good, because she is so very good. Where a Few Janitors and Porters Meet to Discuss Mugmunp Politics. There is a place down in the city where a few Negro porters, janitors broken-down politicians and so-called democratic Negroes meet to discuss the odds and ends of Negro men and women. We are informed that a number of one-horse, broken-down newspaper men meet and pass their hellish opinions of men and women. We are informed that some of them live in Illinois, and work in St. Louis. They live there to send their children to white schools. We hope the time is not far distant when such men will be ostra- The Ladies' Noonday club had a very pleasant meeting Thursday, November 10; with Mrs. M. E. Dobbins, at 2622 Stoddard street.

Harper, of Memphis, Tenn.; Miss N. M. Mason, Mrs. F. Herndon and Mrs. A. H. Gandy, of this city. A very pleasant evening was spent. The double wedding that was to take place on November 24, at 4020 Finney avenue, has been postponed until December 26, at which time it will take place in Chicago, on account of the illness of one of the contracting party's mother, Mrs. Levie. Friends in St. Louis hold invitations who would like to attend the wedding in Chicago can get a pass at 4020 Finney avenue, to go on the special train which will leave here December 25, and return on the 27th. A gand reception was given in honor of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Calhoun Salisbury, on the evening of November 12, at 4634 McKissock avenue. The following guests were present: Madame Katie L. Boewell, president of the Brides' club; Mr. and Mrs. Edward, Mrs. Susan Rodgers, Mrs. Silver Gibbs, Mrs. Hester Howard, Mrs. Armanda Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Terry, Mr. and Ms. Douglas, Mr. Robert Burke, Mrs. Carrie Evens, Mr. and Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Hattie Salisbury, Miss Lulu Armsteed, Mr. Ike Green, Mrs. Laura Brent, Mr. Robert Cole, Mrs. Julia Smith, Mr. Green Maybre and Mr. Wayman Price. A BLOW UP AND A SCARE UP, BUT NO ONE HURT. Last Saturday, about 9:15 o'clock, the heating boiler in the restaurant at 2321 Market street exploded from an unknown cause. Some of the building was damaged to the amount of $500. Several pool and billiard tables were blown to pieces, and the large glass windows in front of the cafe and saloon were blown out. Miss Carrie Levy, who was in the cafe at the time, was very much frightened, but no harm was done. Mr. Curtis, proprietor of the bar, was asleep in bed at the time of the explosion and was awakened to a realization of his loss. Mr. Curtis is one of the old veterans in the saloon business, and he was glad indeed that he was not blown beyond the river Jordon. Mr. Lowery was present at the time of the explosion. He had the presence of mind to ask who broke that glass, speaking of his front window. Yet with all of this excitement, the doors of the cafe and bar were not closed. The hotel, on the second floor, is conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Marion Brooks. They were a little scared, but no harm was done. Messrs. W. T. Curtis, Lowery, Mason and Brooks are still doing business at the same old place, 2321 and 2323 Market street. HENRY CLAY. A Great Picture of Henry Clay Speaking 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 as first grade, valued at $100. We invite you to come to The Palladium and examine this great picture. NOTICE! NOTICE! NOTICE! NOTICE! ORPHANS' HOME ENTERTAINMENT AT THE True Reformers' Hall, November 22, This will be a treat to all. A FINE QUILT will be presented to the one getting the largest number of votes. IO CNTS A VOTE. MRS.

There is a place down in the city where a few Negro porters, janitors, broken-down politicians and so-called democratic Negroes meet to discuss the odds and ends of Negro men and women. We are informed that a number of one-horse, broken-down newspaper men meet and pass their hellish opinions of men and women. We are informed that some of them live in Illinois, and work in St. Louis. They live there to send their children to white schools. We hope the time is not far distant when such men will be ostraciized and cast out of our ranks. The same gang is now telling who are the Negroes that will be made deputy sheriffs instead of the three so-called Negro men who now claim to be democrats. Next week we will give a pen picture of a number of these scalawags, both so-called democrats and republicans. Thanksgiving Dinner at the Newport, 2321 Market Street. At the Newport—Turkey dinner, 35 cents; don't miss it. Green peas and cauliflower, with turkey. Fruits of all kinds at the Newport Cafe. Thirty-five cents. If you want to get the inner man recuperated, get your dinner at the Newport. Turkey stuffed with oysters, 35 cents. Peaches, almonds, cakes, banana fritters, stewed and baked, and oyster, soup at the Newport. All for 35 cents. Newport service is the best in the city. Short and long orders at your own price—35 cents. You will miss the best part of your life if you fail to take your dinner at the Newport. 2321 Market street. Watch the windows at the Newport. It will give you some idea of what the Newport dinner will be. The service at the Newport is unsurpassed—go and get that dinner. Cheapest that you can get in the city. All for 35 cents. At The Newport. "Say, Miss Ann, where are you going on thursday for your dinner?" "Of course to the Newport, 2321 Market street. Why bless your soul, child, they will have all the good things." "Well what will they have that's so nice?" "Why, they will have turkey, opossum. Sweet potatoes wid dat 'possum. Ice cream and all de good, things. Dat turkey will be stuffed wid cranberries—and oysters on de side. Den dy will have scalloped and stewed oysters, wid cream and cake. O! Ain't dat nice? Only 35 cents." MARRIED AND DID NOT GO TO THE MOTHER'S OR FATHER'S HOUSE. Mr. James Edwards, of 3032 Lambda avenue, was married, November 8, to Miss Gussie Coleman, of 3308 La Salle street, and he took that lady to his own house, at 3024 Lambda avenue. This is what all men should do when they marry. We admit that the dudes have only the long raglan that is on their back. We hope that the sensible girls will look before they jump. These newcomers may be out of some prison when they come to St. Louis. Yet the so-called high, upper ten girls get to fighting about them, and they aren't worth the powder that it would take to blow them into the next world. $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents. ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES. Sunday, the 13th, was covenant and communion of the Lord's Supper. The services were largely attended. Many visitors were present. Among them S. Christmas, Brothers D. Curl, J. W. Shaffer, Mr. and Mrs. Walton, Mrs. Delle Rodgers, Mrs. Shepard and others. At 8 p. m. Rev. S. W. Batchlor, of Covington, Tenn., was introduced by Rev. S. P. Anderson. He spoke from the eighteenth verse and thirtieth chapter of Isaiah. Subject: "Wait on the Lord." The subject was well handled, and all felt much benefited, and will be pleased to hear Rev. Batchlor again. Antioch will not have a dinner Thanksgiving, as will many other churches, but will have a sermon at 11 a. m. and a Thanksgiving offering. All members are expected to be present. Friends and visitors in the city are invited. In the evening a concert will be given by the Sunday-school at Antioch church for the benefit of the School. Admissison, 10 cents. J. A. Smith, superintendent. W. T. Smith, secretary. L. H. Patterson, musical director. Celebrated Their Sixth Wedding Anniversary. Mr. E. P. Gregg, son-in-law of Rev. S. P. Anderson and wife, has leased and moved to 4606 Lambdin avenue, the house owned by Mr. Frank McElroy, of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Gregg also celebrated their sixth marriage anniversary on the 16th of this month. Mrs. Gregg was formerly Miss Clara B. Ware. Mr. Gregg is a clerk in the St. Louis post office, and has by his close application to his duties been rapidly promoted in the department in which he works. Mr. Gregg is an intelligent and industrious young man. We wish them much happiness and a long life in their new and cozy home. CHILD BURNED TO DEATH. John Taylor, a child about five years old, was burned to death in the rear of his parents' home, at 8315 Polk street, Monday morning. The accident occurred while the child was playing near a bonfire. His clothes became ignited, and before assistance reached him the flames had charred the flesh on one side. Death followed in several hours. 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 graits. Through investigation it has often been discovered that the senders are neither subscribers to 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. Vashon's Female Classes. I am forming female evening classes for instruction in language and belles-lettres, mathematics and penmanship. These classes will meet at 2629 Lawton avenue three evenings of each week. Ladies intending to join these classes, address me at the Lawton avenue (or the subscribed) address at once, as there will be no disposition to enroll new pupils after the classes are formed. The feature of Thanksgiving day at the World's fair will be an old-fashioned Thanksgiving dinner to the little native children at the exposition. GRANT'S GREAT HIT. Orpheus Dancing Academy Crowning Social Feature of World's Fair Season. Great Crowds Enjoy Good Music, Good Service and Good Order All Summer at Small Cost. The brilliant success scored by Mr. Jas. W. Grant's Orphans Dancing academy, during the World's fair period, is one of the most distinctive, as well as one of the most creditable social features of the season, and a worthy tribute to the enterprise and indefatigable industry of the promotor and manager. From the very beginning the enterprise has met with the hearty approval and support of the public, and its growth has been phenomenal. The excellent music, good order, fine service and delicious refreshments, all of which are designed and carried out under the direction of the "Old Campaigner," have attracted to the academy the best people of the city, who not only attend to receive instructions in the terpsichorean art and department, but have also adopted it as a convenient and suitable resort where they may entertain their visiting friends on Wednesday and Friday evenings. Hundreds of World's fair visitors have been entertained at the academy, throughout the summer, in a way that will cause them to carry away most pleasant memories of their visit to St. Louis. The academy has, under the splendid management of Mr. Grant, performed the phenomenal feat of running all summer, with crowded houses, and notwithstanding the fact that most of the visitors have departed for their homes, the crowds continue to flock to the academy, whose receptions promise to remain the leading social attraction during the coming winter. One of the most attractive features of the academy of late is the individual and class drill, which begins at 7:30, and lasts until the grand reception begins, at 9:30. Many ladies and gentlemen are taking advantage of the class drill to become proficient in the art of dancing. Petticoat Logan and Folk. We are in receipt of a clipping from some paper that had copied an article from Petticoat, Logan, who teaches school in Huntsville, Mo. He is a full-fledged Folk man and publishes his paper to that effect. If the party who sent the article desires to have it published, he should have sent along a compensation to run the machine. Postponed. The presentation of the musical comedy, "Miss Amanthis," by the Lyceum Sketch club, has been postponed until Thursday, December 8, on which date it will take place at Douglass hall. On a Visit From Texas. Mrs. Vincen, of Texas, is visiting her brother, Mr. Charles Jenkins, of 2609 Morgan street.

Your hand has often wiped away my tears; Your words brought hope and courage back to me. But, best of friends, how can you help me now? In this dark hour what words of com- fort say? Though you have often come to teach me how To bear life's lils, words would be vain to-day. For oh! the crowning sorrow of the years Has touched me now, and life is desolate; No rabow in my storm-swept sky ap- pears; No bright-faced joy my coming seems to wait. Thick darkness falls. Around me waters roar. His billows and His waves roll over me. The raging tempest hides the distant shore; I strain my eyes, no beacon light I see. And yet I thought my faith was stead- fast, strong; That it would hold me fast in wildest gale. I deemed no tempest, howe'er fierce and long. Could loose my anchor, make my courage fall. Helpless I drift! My pilot, where is He, Whose presence always brought me peace before? In vain I look: His form I cannot see, Nor hear His voice above the tempest's roar. And yet He said: "When thou art called to go Through the deep waters I will be with thee. The raging rivers shall not overflow." Why do I doubt His promises to me? O Pilot! I have trusted Thee to guide My bark till this dangerous voyage is o'er; Forsake me not, but through the swelling tide Bear Thou me safely to yon peaceful shore. The tempest lulls. I see, I hear Him now; His hand is at the helm, He guides me still. Dear calm-faced Faith again sits in the prow. And all my heart yields to the Master's will. His Word is steadfast, friend, it cannot fall. How strange that I this precious truth forgot. Who trusts Him fully, through the wildest gale, Fares safely homeward, fainting, fearing not. -Emily Stuart Lawrence, in N. Y. Witness. HIS BURIED GRUDGES. Uncle Zeph Discourses on Si's Method Which Is a Common "Yes," said Uncle Zeph, assentingly, "I don't say but what Si buries his grudges, all right enough. Si follows the letter of instruction—there's no denyin' that. He buries the grudge in a good deep place, 'nd buries it shipshape, 'nd says it's dead, 'nd I guess it is. But the trouble with Si is that he doesn't stop with the buriny'. No, sir; he goes ahead and puts up a tombstone, 'nd a good long inscription on it, settin' forth all the virtues of the deceased, so to speak. 'Nd no matter if it's ten years ago that he buried it, there's that tombstone, in good order, 'Sacred to the memory of' always ready to remind Si of havin' buried it. Reg'lar private cemetery, Si's got, 'nd never a grave neglected. "Fer my part, seems to me the only way to bury a grudge is the Quaker way. Walk through the graveyards of the old meetin' house, down where I was born, 'nd you'll never see a stone. Plenty of graves—but each green mound keeps the secret of its dead, 'nd it seems ez if they slept peacefuller there than anywhere else, somehow, to my mind. If I have a grudge, 'nd make up my mind to bury it, I bury it that way, 'nd I find it's a comfortabler business than to be readin' the epitaph over every time I happen to pass that way. No matter how dead the grudge is, 'nd no matter how deep you think you've buried it, the epitaph will rile you on every fresh readin'—leastways, that's my experience," and Uncle Zeph's eyes twinkled, though his mouth was as serious as possible.—Barbara Griffiths, in Wellspring. His Prayers Were Short. He was a young fellow spending the summer in the west among his friends and relatives. There was just enough work to do to make life worth living, and enough play to add to the unusual enjoyment of it. One day he went to the housetop to do some painting. Becoming entangled with his feet near the large paint-pot he swept over the edge and fell to the ground, a distance of some 12 feet. Fortunately he was not hurt seriously; and in trying to make light of what might have been a sad accident, he said: "When I found myself going, I said: 'Here goes nothing,' and I said my prayers until I struck the ground!" A little girl standing by, hearing him, said, artlessly: "But the prayers were short!" Certainly, his prayers were short—and had they not been preceded by longer prayers on other occasions he might not have been able to pray at all, and they certainly would have meant very little. It is a good thing to pray when falling from a housetop; it is a fine thing to know how to pray when the prayer is of necessity short.—Science. A man who does not hate evil terribly, does not love good heartily.—C. H. Spur-grea. A GODLY HOME. Obed-Edom an Example to the Head of the Household of To-Day. Obed-Edom made room for the ark in his house, and God blessed his home abundantly, and made it a blessing to the whole nation. The blessing which descended upon that hitherto obscure family reached up to the very throne, and then descended in showers of beheddiction upon the whole nation. When David heard how God had blessed his house, he was encouraged to renew his efforts to reestablish the worship of God in the capital of the kingdom. No home can afford to be without God's gracious presence. We need it in times of prosperity, when we are specially in danger of growing godless in character and life. We need it in times of temptation, that we may be able to overcome. We need it in times of perplexity, for "it is not in man that walketh, to order his steps." We need it when our children are choosing their vocations and their companions and the location of their homes. We need it in times of sickness, and in times of health; in times of rejoicing, and in times of sorrow. We need it when the death angel hovers near, and when we stand by the open graveside to bury our loved ones out of our sight. We need it when we ourselves draw near to the end of life's pilgrimage. We may all have this blessedness, if we will truly seek it. And the presence and blessing of Christ in the home will make it a benediction to the whole community—Christian Union Herald. A HELPFUL LIFE. Story of a Bed-Bidden Christian Who Performed a Mission in Life. "I remember once being called to see a sick girl," said Henry Ward Beecher, "who was, perhaps, 17 or 18 years of age. A gentleman informed me that she had been sick for 12 months, and that she had become quite disconsolate. He said: 'She has the sweetest disposition, and she is the 'most patient creature imaginable. And you ought to hear her talk; one can hardly tell whether she talks or prays. It is Heaven to go into her room.' I wanted a little more of the spirit of Heaven, so I went to see her. I was engaged in the special labors of a revival of religion at the time. "She said: 'I hear of what you are doing, and of what my companions are doing, and I long to go out and labor for Christ; and it seems very rattle to me that God keeps me on this sick bed.' 'My dear child,' said I, 'do you not know that you are preaching Christ to this whole household, and to everyone who knows you?' Your gentleness and patience and Christian example are known and read by all. You are laboring for Christ more effectually than you could anywhere else.' Her face brightened; she looked up without a word; and doubtless she gave thanks to God, and angels sang more sweetly than before." CHARACTER BETRAYED. It Is the Spirit Within a Man Which Makes Its Impress on the Outward Life. God's system of reporting is exquisitely delicate. He snap-shots all our signs and hears all our whispers. He has the key to our clever codes and ciphers, and the fierce light will be turned upon the unspoken thought and ideograph which earthly tribunals may not judge. "Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance." There is only one way to preserve ourselves from this iniquity, and that is to keep our heart right with God. Whatever we really are enters into our life whether we design it or not, and remorselessly betrays us. We neither come nor go, nor sit down, nor get up nor hold our tongue, nor move about, but our real character is betrayed. Let our spirit be that of our adorable Master, and then in every act, word and posture we shall show forth the praise of Him who has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.—Rev. W. L. Watkinson. THE QUIET HOUR. Life is the only school for character. There is no sonship without suffering. If all man needs is environment what was the matter with Eden?—Ram's Horn. Science may show us the survival of the fittest, but Christ shows us the salvation of the failures. With the promise of the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth, there is little excuse for ignorance, and less for error. There's a good deal of difference between the charity that shines like a lighthouse and that which glares like a billboard.—Ram's Horn. You cannot get water out of frozen pipes nor enthusiasm in religion out of one whose very thoughts are congealed by the secularities of life.—United Presbyterian. As the old garment suggests the necessity of a new one, so the infirmities of age remind us that this mortality must soon be laid aside to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven. —United Presbyterian. To those who have lived with Christ and seen the flowers of the field and the birds of the air and the purity of the snow through his eyes, the beauty of the earth is the suggestion always of that higher purity and loveliness which he first showed in human life, and toward which all our bitter impulses strive upward as the strength of the seedling in the forest strives toward the free air of heaven. —Young People. 2601 LAWTON AVENUE, N.

(4) More bona fine ewbscribers than any ather Negro paper in St. Lovie or State. (6) The ONLY Negro newspaper pub- lished ia St. Louis as the organ of the Repubiicam party. () Becanse it is the official organ of Wnyht Cuney Political ‘Club: (7) Because 1t 1s fearless in denoune- ing crime regardless of conee- quences. E> President Roosevelt is busily en- gaged on his message to congress. St. Louis republicans will boom ‘Thomas K. Niedringhaus for the Unit- ed States senate to sueceed Francis Marion Cockrell. - Several of the so-called Negro dem- ocrats will be put out on the side walk. Most all of them have secured a po- sition with Street and Walker. We wish them success. Next week we shall give a full ac- count of these so-called Negro demo- crats that will soon take their depart- ure from the city hall and courthouse. We deeply mourn for them. In the state house. Next January there will be a general house cleaning. We will see the books, and we have to see more yet, and that some good election laws put upon the statute books of this state for the protection of the citizens of this state. THE 1R1aM WORLD. The people of this country should give the Irish World credit for the faithful stand that it took in the late campaign. ‘There was not a paper in this country that struck harder licks for che republican party than it did. ‘The irish World is published in New York. We are confident that the Irish World had its effect on many Irish- men, and caused them to vote for Roosevelt. Then to that paper we doff ‘our hat and lay aside our editorial pen. Eeathall, ‘There will be a game of football be- tween the Lincoln high school, of Kan- sas City, Mo., and the Sumner high school, of this city, at Handlan’s park, corner Grand and Laclede avenues, Saturday afternoon, 3 o'clock, Novem- ber 19. The Kansas City team Is a strong aggregation, being considered the best team of its class in the west- ern part of the state. Sumner this year has a fast and scrappy eleven, and as there is great rivalry between the two leading high schools of, the state, an exciting contest is promised all lovers of the game. It is earnestly desired that the public will turn out in large numbers to witness this con- test, as the management of the Sum- ner high school has gone to consider- able expense to bring the Kansas City team here. As there will be no Thanks- giving day game here this year it is planned to make this the event of the season. Sumner wil play in Louisville this year on Thanksgiving and a large crowd of rooters are preparing to ac- company the team. Good rates have been secured and all who plan going are requested to see Mr. E. C. Camp- bell. The Sumner colors are maroon and white.

Washington, “QOi1A Walnut St, the day before election.] Theodore Roosevelt is the man Who has the ship of state in his hand; It is really bis chief delight To carrv her safely through all right. He is the man that all can trust, And he never Tikes to raise a fuss; He is too good to do otherwise, For trouble he always did despise, I'l tell you how ‘the came in power, And how the blessings on him did shower; i'll start it in ithe next verse, you see, Which carried ‘hima on to victory. In eightoon hundred and ninety-cight ‘The Maine was sunk in Havana’s gate, On the strength of which war was de- clared, But we were really not prepared. McKinley was president at that time— To bring abont peace he asked for time. * ‘The queen of Spain would not hear to that— Nothing would suit hem but have’ a spat. Well. said McKinley, we will prepare, I'm sure my soldiers will do their share; I will put all of them in the field, Those Spaniards will not have time to kneel. Two hundred t.~usand men were called for To fight the Spamards on Cuba’s shore; ‘There was enlisted young and old, All of them were game and very bold. ‘The assistant seoretary of the navy Was Theodore Roosevelt, who loved ham gravy, Put he resigned to go to the war, For he saw they had broken nature's law. He went down there and fought like a man. “Yes,” said he, “I'l do the best I can. Til go there and fight and make a name, The strength of which will bring me great fame.” He was colonel in that war, you see, ‘Heading the Rough Riders, where he wanted to be; Those Rough Riders carried him through all right, Which was really his chief delight. When the war was over he came home— Im every home his name did loom. Hurrah for Roosevelt! the people said— ‘That made the colonel hold up his head. Being elected governor of New York, He carried the state in a whoop and a walk. With honor and credit he served his state; When called to duty he was never late. In nineteen hundred his name was called ‘To be second on the ticket in that fall, For without him the ticket could not win, For him to refuse would have been a sin. He gave his consent, and then made a speech; He stuck to his party, just like a leach— ‘The party was triumphant in that fall— McKinley and Roosevelt, and that»was all. : ‘Wm. McKinley was assassinated; Done by a man I really hated; ‘That was in nineteen hundred and one, Soon after his second term had begun. Roosevelt was sworn in as president, Since then his time and talent he has spent; He has kept his promises as best he could, And all his acts have been very good. Now he comies up for re-election. ‘We ought to elect him in a run, For he is the best man for the place, And he is the best one in the race. ‘The one thing I like about him most, He deals to injustice an avvful dose; Ho beligves all men ought to do right, 1 not they ought to be run out of sight. It is not the tree that makes the land, Nor it’s not the color that makes the man; Honesty and uprightness it is that All other than that all men are rats. La La, La La Lee, La La, La La Lee, ‘To elect him is what 1 want to see. Come, let all elect him president, For he is the man that God has sent. St. John’s Mission Sunday School.

Instead of him waiting unti! he has sufficient funds to support a wife as she should be sup- ported, he will marry on a salary of five or six dollars a week, with the resuit that in less time than it, takes to tell it they are back home depend- ing on the resources of either her mother and father or his. The young girl, in the meantime, in- sists upon having the very latest thing cut in the clothing line—tourist coat, velvet dress, ete. Since her husband can not furnish her with the articles her refined tast requires, there is but one resource, and that is the old folks. Girls should have more considera- tion for.their old parents, who have ‘slaved g lifetime to support them, than ‘to add another burden to their shoul- ders. 3 _ Boys should have more manhood and independent spirit than to accept sup- port from, those far less able to give it than they themselves. When a young man calls to see the daughter of a house, the father and mother should know something of hi life, and not permit their daughter.tc associate with a man on his face value only. An older person has had more experience, and is better able to judge the character of a man than a girl is Girls are entirely too reckless. THE CHRISTMAS DELINEATOR The December Delineator, with its ‘message of good cheer and helpfulness, will he welcomed in every home. The fashion pages are unusually attractive, ‘illustrating and describing the very latest modes in a way to make their eosin during the busy festive ‘season a pleasure instead of a task, and ‘the literary and pictoral features are ‘of rare excellence. A selection of Love ‘Songs from the Wagner operas, ren- ‘dered into English by Richard De Gal- Tienne and beautifully illustrated in ‘colors by J. C. ieyendecker, occupies a ‘prominent place, and a chapter in the Composers’ Series, relating the ro- mance of Wagner and Cosima, is an interesting supplement to the lyrics. 'A very clever paper entitled “The ‘Court Circles of the Republic,” de- [seribes some unique phases of Wash- ington social life is from an unnamed contributor, who is said to write from ‘the inner circles of society. There are short stories from the pens of F. Hop- inson Smith, Robert Grant, Alice Brown, Mary Stewart Cutting and Bl- ‘more Elliott Peake, and such inter- ‘esting writers as Julia Magruder, L. ‘Frank Baum and Grace McGowan Cooke hold the attention of the chil- ‘dren. Many Christmas suggestions are given in needlework, and the cookery pages are redolent of the Christmas feast. In addition, there are the res- ular departments of the magazine, with many special articles on topics relat- ing to woman’s interests within and without the home. It is said that the northern demo- crat is opposed to the southern demo- cratic Injustice to the Afro-American. '£ so he ought to fight it in the coun- cils of the party.

SAN ANTONIO & ARANSAS | PASS RAILWAY COMPANY One of the Best Lines South. Sneha es ee eee TARR Oey eT people are looking for permanent homes, and we would suggest that théy look to the great state of Texas, in or- der to make a personal investigation of the wonderful possibilities of the Lone Star state. Texas, particularly the territory traversed by the San An- tonio & Aransas Pass railway, which owns and operates 723 miles of road, as follows: Main Line—San Antonio to Houston. Waco Division—Waco to Yoakum. Lockhart Division—Lockhart to Shi- ner. Kerrville Branch—San Antonio to Kerrville. | Corpus Christi Branch—Corpus Christi to Kenedy. Rockport Branch—Rockport to Greg- ory. Alice and Falfurrias §Branch—Skid- more to Alice and Falfurrias. By reference to the map you will see that they run through the finest and earliest truck-producing*section in the southwest. The climate is so that the farmers raise and sell something every month in the year; in fact, it is known as the “open winter” farming country of the southwest, where a man can work out in the open air every day, and does not have to spend all he makes in the summer to keep him through the win- ter. It is understood that the low rate Homeseekers’ tickets will continue to be on sale during November and De- cember to all San Antonio & Aransas Pass points, of which the following are the most prominent local stations: Falfurrias, Corpus Caristi, Alice, Beeville, Skidmore, Runge, Cuero, Yorktown, Hallettsville, Rock Island, Yoakum, Giddings, Cameron, Luling, Rockport, Kennedy, Karnes City, Fleresville, Rockdale, Gonzales. ' You can pack up Sallie and the ba- bies and go south, and they will show you all of these fertilized fields, where you can enjoy life. It is a sad mis- take when our people crowd into a Jarge city. You can do better by tak- ing up your home in Texas. We will continue this appeal for the benefit and welfare of the Negroes. (To Be Coninued Next Week.) Go on SAN ANTONIO & ARANSAS PASS RAILWAY. If you wish to spend a pleasant win- ter, GO TO TEXAS. If you have money to invest in land, GO TO TEXAS. If you wish to be benefited by the finest of artesian well water, GO TO TEXAS. If there are another number of oth- er things you wish to.do, just take ad- vantage of the never-vefore-heard-of offer of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway and go to Texas. Just think! Only $15 a round trip to Texas. Quite often one makes his home in a place where the best of advantages are not offered him. The only way to remedy this incon- venience is to take advantage of what- ever opportunities afford themselves. Texas is a state that contains acre upon acre of production farm land. "It is not only productive during the summer, but what is most unusual al- so during the winter. A man doesn’t have to “lay by” for the long winter months. The climate is such that one can farm all the year around. Some may hesitate because of the supposed difficulty in disposing of crops because of lack of railroads. Such a claim held good long years ago. At the present time, the San An- tonio railroad has access to every available point, and makes this spe- cial offer of $15 a round trip for the express benefit of those whose funds may be low, and who might wish to purchase land in Texas, and could not afford the regular fare.

Mr. Akoun, who is a Parisian by birth, has the advantage of former ex- eriences at no less than twelve pre vious expositions, where his marvelous successes were continuously repeated, and as a successful caterer to an amusement-loving public his fame spread far and wide. The general plan embraces a most interesting representation of Asiatic countries, including faithful reproduc- tions of the most historic and educa- tional buildings of India, the Mahal Temple of Agra, the Rain Sipri of Almiadabad, street reproductions from historical Delhi, Calcutta, with its picturesque bungalows, and decorated buildings, grill workers, with their actual material, such as mosaic and ceramic panels, carved in inlaid wood. Bazaars teeming with commercial ac- tivity, with native vendors in the pic- turesque costume of their native coun- tty, form a part of the attractions. Ceylon, with its attractive tea houses and kiosks, inside of which the visit- ors witness the process of drying and rolling tea, which is served by native Singalese 1 purely oriental fashion; Burmah, the land of white elephants, its idolatrous inhabitants, and the Golden Temple of Rangoon; Burmese musicians playing upon their peculiar native instruments, and Burmese danc- ing girls doing their fantastical and religious dances. A point of interest is Persia, the mysterious country of Asia, with its rug market, architectural buildings, caravans, .sedan chairs, dromedaries, etc. In the bazaars are seen types of Persian traders show® ing the art of weaving rugs. There are brass chiselers, candy makers, for- tune tellers and fakers displaying and selling their waters,consisting of silks- draperies, laces, ornaments, embrod- ‘eries, jewelry and other articles seen in course of manufacture by natives. _ In connection withthis special amuse- ment feature is 1 beautiful and con- spiciuous building erected in the orig- inal Oriental style of architecture, known as the Oriental Theater, where performers from the Oriental countries ‘appear in numerous and amusing fea tures, Nautch, Jar, Castanette and all characteristic national dances are given Be oriental style of their respective ‘countries. Grand parades representing the Rajah and the gorgeous Durban festival take place hourly. On a gor- | seously-caparisoned elephant, driven by Hindoos, holding heavy silver spears and attended by native musicians beat- ing tom toms and playing upon flutes and other native instruments, the Rajah is seated in a golden-embroid- ered hoodah. Elephants carry kiosks loaded with passengers. These are fol- lowed by a multitude of singing and shouting natives, riding In every de- scription of conveyance typical of their native countries. The entire produc- tion cost over $200,000. | For the past two years Mr. Akoun ‘has had abroad special representatives ‘in search of new attractions, and at considerable risk and expense, obtained the consent of the various tribal kings and rulers to allow their subjects to leave their native country. In the en- tire reproduction there are upwards of 750 people, including men, women and children. W. T. Curtis’ Newport Buffet, 2323 MARKET STREET. Wines, Liquors and Cigars.

Tokio, Nov. 18—The opinion is ex- pressed here that the Russian torpedo boat destroyer Rastoropny carried to Che Foo the extended dispatches ex- plaining the situation at Port Arktur, the condition of the Russian squadron and the shortage of food and ammuni- tion, referring the question of further resistance to the Russian government. ‘The nature of the Russian fire indi- cates a scarcity of certain kinds of ammunition. ‘All prisoners taken by the Japanese ell a story of increaisng hunger. It is claimed that the Russian com- manders are divided on the question of continuing the defense. If this is true, it fits the theory that the Ras- toropny carried dispatches passing the question to the emperor. ‘BUM, NOT BOMB, SHELLS. Indication That Ammunition Is Short at Port Arthur.

Simple ‘Washes and Lotions Readily Prepared at Home Often Prove Very Effective. It is all very well to advise the gir Whose face freckles not to expose bei skin to the sun, to wear a veil anc take other similar precautions, but i she is a fun-loving creature she wil doubtless much prefer the freckles t¢ denying herself thé pleasure of out-of. door sports, and who can blame her’ So when she begins to suffer the pen alty of her shortcomings in this re spect then is the time to lend a help. ing hand and suggest some remedies for preventing or eradicating — the freckles when they come. Cold cream and a light coating o powder before going out of doors will often so protect a sensitive skin that it will permanently keep the freckles at bay. Not always, however, as the cause of these annoying little brown spots is due to an excess of iron in the blood. |Red-haired persons are much more lia. ble to freckles than dark-haired ones. This is due to the same reason. Oc- casionally with no treatment at all freckles will diseappear of their own aceord as quickly as they came. But in nine cases out of ten they will only yield to persistent treatment. One of the best freckle lotions comes all the way from Germany, and, al- though a druggist must be resorted to for its preparation, it will surely attain the desired result if applied night and morning with a soft cloth, Of potassium carbonate use six per zent; of potassium chlorate two per sent; borax, one and one-half per cent; rose water, 38 per cent; glycerin, 15 per cent.; orange flower water, 35 per cent, and sugar, six per cent. “Nearly every complexion specialist, ‘a8 well as druggist, carries some rem- edy said to be efficaceous in removing freckles, and while they all doubtless possess virtues of their own still there are many home recipes which can be compounded for the purpose. Simple buttermilk is used by some as a wash, and certainly softens the skin, if it does no more. Freckles, as well as the predispesi- tion to them, will sometimes yield to massage, particularly if the following lotion is used in connection, Take of lactic acl two ounces, giyeerin one ounce and Tose water one-half an ounce. Pour a small quantity of the liquid in a porcelain receptacle, from which ap- ply it to the face with a piece of soft linen cloth night and morning. Too frequent applications may redden the ‘skin or otherwise irritate it; then the Totion should be applied less fre- ‘quently. Special care must be taken to keep the composition air-tight, and every- ‘thing used with it must be quite clean. A PRETTY TEA COZY.

Revival of Big Brooch. Very large brooches are returning to fashion, and if it is possible to procure those that were worn in bygone days to fasten a fichu, they are just the ones that are most in request. A cluster of stones forming a huge boss makes a lovely brooch, which can be metamorphosed into a pendant if need be, though there is not so much demand as there was for adaptable jewels, owing to the troubie ‘mplied in making the alteration. Long plaid ties brighten the darker afk waists.

Be clear as to the message; definite as to its objective point, and fit it to the times and needs of those to whom it is addressed. li. The Charge. (1) God Speaking, v 2.—The heavens and the earth are filled with the voice of God. He spoke of His ancient people, He is speaking to- day through His Son.—Heb. 1:1, 2. (2) God, the Faithful Father, v. 2.— “Nourisked and brought up children.” The history of God’s dealings with Is- rael is one long story of love, patience, goodness and mercy. God redeemed them from bondage, molded them inte a nation, gave them a “land flowing with milk and honey,” and made them @ great nation under David and Solo- mon. This is but a picture, a type, of what God has done and is doing for every human soul. As the faithful Fa- ther, He has sent His Son to deliver from the bondage of sin (John 3:16); He has given a goodly heritage (Rom. 8:17), and He has shown the way of victory (2 Cor. 2:14). (3) A Rebellious People, vs. 2-9—(a) Ungrateful and Selfish—“Doth not know, doth not consider.” How like peo- ple to-day in their attitude towards God (Isa. 53:6). (b) Sin Laden. Com- pare Rom. 1:18-32. (c) Unresponsive to Discipline—‘Why should ye be stricken any more?” It is an awful thing when God has to leave asoul alone in its sin. The doom of a soul is sealed when God ceases to strive with it Compare first part of Gen. 6:3 with Matt. 12:32, (d) Utterly Corrupt. — “The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.” This, with verse 6, indicates the desperate moral condition of Israel. Man, inthesight of God, fs a hope- less, helpless sinner (Rom. 3:10; Isa. 64:6). (e) Their Land. Desolate, vs. 1, 8—Ah, how the world is suffering to-day from sin. See it all about us. And oo 1 will continents West comes to reign supreme. (f) Monu- ments of God’s Mercy, v. 9.—God has no delight in the death of the wicked. (Ezek. 23:11; 1 Tim. 2:4.) III. The Appeal. (Salvation’s Re- quisites.) (1) Cieansing from Sin. “Wash you, make you clean.” “The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin.” John 1:7. This is the first step. (2) Turning from Sin. “Put away the evil of your doings.” “Cease to do evil.” This is the next step, Conversion means turning about. Rom. 6:1-2. This is the negative side of the Christian life. (3) Doing Good. “Learn to do well.” Phil. 1:9-11. 2 ‘Thess. 2:16, 17. This is the positive side of the Christian life. Learn to do well: (a) By study of God’s Word. “Seek judgment.” 2 Tim. 2:15; (b) By kindly ministry. Phil. 2:5-7; Jas. 1:27. IV. Promise and Threat. (1) God's hand of mercy and blessing out- stretched to those who will yield to and obey Him. But (2) God's hand of judgment and punishment falling upon such as refuse to hear. Which ghali it be? “The mouth of the Lord ‘The Golden Text, “Cease to do evil; learn to do well.” The theory of evolution cannot stan¢ apon this text. The natural tendency of man is downward and away from God. The two contrasts presented here are “evil” and “well” (good). The one identifies the inherent tendency and quality of man. The other deseribes the nature and attributes of God. The two empiatic words are “cease” and “learn.” Cut loose from the natura! man and his tendencies. Unite witi God. This two-fold operation is real.

He tried to cure me, but after experimenting for several months, my husband became dis- pated, and one night when we noticed a testimonial of a woman who had een cured of similar trouble through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, he went out and bought a bottle for me. I used your medicine for three and one half months, improving steadily in health, and irrtwenty-two months a child came. I cannot fully express the joy and thankfulness that is in my heart. Our home is a different place now, as we have something to live for, and all the credit is due to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Yours very sincerely, Mrs. L. C.

Where Life Is the Most Healthful and Long. In Grand Isle county, Vermont, there was in 1901 a population of 4,462, and the deaths from tuberculosis numbered three. In 1902 the deaths from this cause were six and in 1903 only two. We wonder if there is so low a death rate from tuberculosis anywhere else in the civilized world, and under anything like similar conditions. In this county there are no villages except small ones, and not over 100 people in any village. The houses are all several rods from each other. The population is almost entirely farmers and fruit growers. The county is literally an island, and strong winds continually blow over the water surrounding it. That such exceptional conditions have an influence upon the mortality is plain from that of Franklin county, lying next to Grand Isle, and not so sparsely settled, but otherwise similarly circumstanced, in which the death rate from tuberculosis was in 1901 0.179, as against 0.067 in Grand Isle. It might be a pity to raise the death rate of the citizens, but what a place for a tuberculosis sanitarium! Perhaps the whole state of Vermont would not get the prize in a state contest for a health prize. There has been a steady decrease in the deaths from tuberculosis from 1886, when they numbered over 700, in 1903, when they were only 439. In 1901 there were 415 dying of senile debility or general decay, and 145 of these were over 90 years of age, and nine were over 100 years old—American Medium. All-Important Part. She—What do you think of the legal profession for women? He—Oh, it's all right, I suppose; but I hope they will never get on the judicial bench. She—Why do you say that? He—Because they would be continually adding postscripts to their opinions, and we poor men would never know where we were at. "How much does the baby weigh?" they asked.

TILL NOON The Simple Dish That Keeps One Vigorous and Well Fed. When the Doctor takes his own medicine, and the grocer eats the food he recommends, some confidence comes to the observer. A Grocer of Osslan, Ind., had a practical experience with food worth anyone's attention. He says: "Six years ago I became so weak from stomach and bowel trouble that I was finally compelled to give up all work in my store, and, in fact, all sorts of work, for about four years. The last year I was confined to the bed nearly all of the time, and much of the time unable to retain food of any sort on my stomach. My bowels were badly constipated continually, and I lost in weight from 165 pounds down to 88 pounds. "When at the bottom of the ladder I changed treatment entirely, and started in on Grape-Nuts and cream for nourishment. I used absolutely nothing but this for about three months. I slowly improved until I got out of bed and began to move about. "I have been improving regularly, and now in the past two years have been working about fifteen hours a day in the store, and never felt better in my life. "During these two years I have never missed a breakfast of Grape-Nuts and cream, and often have it two meals a day, but the entire breakfast is always made of Grape-Nuts and cream alone." "Since commencing the use of Grape-Nuts I have never used anything to stimulate the action of the bowels, a thing I had to do for years, but this food keeps me regular and in fine shape, and I am growing stronger and heavier every day. "My customers, naturally, have been interested, and I am compelled to answer a great many questions about Grape-Nuts. "Some people would think that a simple dish of Grape Nuts and cream would not carry one through to the noonday meal, but it will, and in the most vigorous fashion."

BY JESSIE LLEWELLYN THEY stood at a high mansard window and looked out at the tops of bare branches. The stars and the street lights blinked at each other across the cold, blue distances. All of human history seemed marching, ghostlike, through the pale pale. "This is Thanksgiving," she said. "Is it, yes?" he asked, irrelevantly. "What a little question in such a big world," she replied evasively, and then, "thanksgiving! I wonder if everyone nowadays is not more resentful for what he has not than thankful for what he has?" Her mood did not please him, because it did not include him, for it is rude to be impersonal when alone with one man. She leaned out over the window ledge and drew a long breath: "On a still, cold night like this events of the past seem near—just on the other side of the darkness. I was thinking of the thanksgivings of Miles Standish and Priscilla and the others. How little they had to be grateful for, and yet how religiously great in their thankfulness." He had not called to speak of the pilgrim fathers, and so he remarked, somewhat rudely: "I was not aware that you were an ultra religionist" She answered absently, groping her hand along the window sill. "Ah, you mean lighted candles and contribution boxes. It is the courageous faith of our ancestors that thrills one with its dauntlessness. Think of those well-born ladies and gentlemen become pioneers in a wilderness in 67 short days. After drought and famine and visitations from adventurers they could still assemble to worship and to pray on days set aside for giving thanks. I believe their prayers were answered—even personally. As for us—we of the twentieth century—we are precious careful not to pray for anything we have not the cash to pay for." "All we owe the pilgrims," he said, being compelled to follow her conversational lean, "is a vote of thanks for their generosity in the matter of ancestors. Almost anyone in the blue book can now afford at least two forefathers who came over in the Mayflower. But to return—you were about to answer my question. Is—" "I can see them now," she interrupted, "with their bread hats and swords buckled at their sides, and—" uncertain in further details she swiftly began again: "How little pleasure they gave themselves! Imagine grown A "THIS IS THANKSGIVING." SHE SAID. men in ye olden Plymouth playing football of a Thanks day! They would have had their offending feet stuck through a pillory in no time! "Instead of legs done up in surgical splints—wooden customs both!" He refused to be serious. She felt without seeing that he was approaching the window again. The pilgrims wouldn't hold out much longer, owing to her uncertain historical data. Was William Penn the first governor of the colony? Or was Cotten Mather? She must say something, or that inevitable question, and if she were to say 'yes' to this frivolous person, what should she say to the new Presbyterian minister of the red brick church?" "Is it yes—dear?" There was a very personal note in the voice this time, and a hand was ominously near her on the window ledge. "If—if you were more serious about things," she began, unsteadily. "Religious things, like Thanksgiving, for instance. If you had a belief or a code or something I could believe in you more—don't you see. Everyone says—" Evidently he saw something which pleased him, for there was an expansive smile on his face. Suddenly he struck an attitude. "How would a code of thanks meet with your approval, just owing to the day—" "I don't believe you were ever thankful for anything." "My dear young woman, no divine was ever more so. I am thankful for—for the great commonwealth in which we live, with its waving fields of—of—" "Hay," she suggested. "I was about to say onions," he corrected. "And its greater statesmen—yes, with its statesmen ever greater than its onion fields, possessed as they are of nothing but love for the wage earner—during presidential campaigns." "I am thankful that in these United States there are—are noble reformers—who find it possible to reap wealth by denouncing it—thereby proving the possibilities of American statesmanship." "What are you talking about?" "Proving myself eligible to ask a simple question. I am thankful for the female brains which discuss the question: 'Shall women propose?' occupying themselves with the discussion they do not propose. "I am thankful that we do not live in the days of Puritanism, otherwise Wilbert THE MINISTER SAW NOTHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR. a certain girl in a certain window would have been burned for a witch— dead certain. "I am thankful that said girl"—he lowered his voice in a telling way—"is going to say—" "Yes," she finished softly. And the Presbyterian minister of the red brick church saw nothing whatever for which to be thankful on the day "set apart and appointed." "It Is More Blessed to Give Than to Receive." A A A PHILOSOPHERS and philanthropists not only indorse the familiar and beloved aphorism, "It is more blessed to give than to receive," but go a step further and claim that the capacity to receive is absolutely dependent on a capacity to spend; that to maintain a receptive attitude towards all the good and enjoyable things of this world, one must spend. The same truth is expressed again in the statement, "He that loseth his life shall find it." We have come to interpret this paradox as meaning that true happiness is attained only when the seeker gets as far from his own personality as possible and interests himself in the life of the world or of the individuals around him. In proportion as we give spontaneously will we receive freely. The gift need not always be tangible and material; it may be the more valuable because of its spiritual quality, but into whatever we bestow some part of ourselves should enter. As Lowell puts it: "Tls not what we give, but what we share, For the gift without the giver is bare." Thanksgiving is the festival of the family and for that reason is a sad anniversary to the exiles from home, or to those who, lacking home ties, are alone in the world. It offers an especial occasion therefore for the bestowal of happiness. There is a certain embarrassment about inviting the stranger to a Christmas feast because custom calls for an exchange of gifts, but no such obligation rests upon the Thanksgiving guest and the poorest may accept without loss of dignity or pride. The Farmers' Voice is right—unless we can truly feel that we have occasion to rejoice over our own or some one else's good fortune, we would do better not to mock honest sentiment by going through the form of an observation of the day; but if the Thanksgiving spirit is ours, wherever it is possible let us take down the bars of consanguinity and open our hearts to the family of the world, instead of spreading the spiritual and material feast for "me and my wife, my son John and his wife; us four and no more."

"That he amassed his wealth by buying and selling commodities that the common people needed." "He did nothing of the sort!" retorted the angry heiress, relates Judge.

Every mother of a growing girl should remember that there will come a time when her daughter will be a girl no longer but will share with her the blessings of womanhood. Unless nourishment keeps pace with growth the foundations of a life of suffering are laid at that time. Mrs. John MacKinney, of No. 478 Thirteenth street, Detroit, Mich., writes a timely word. She says: "I did not get proper care at the first critical time in my life and for seventeen years I suffered as a result. I had dizzy spells, felt a constant fear that something dreadful was about to happen and was afraid to go out alone. My breathing was very short and I had palpitation of the heart so badly that I could not go up stairs nor walk even moderately fast. I was so nervous that I could not sit still. At different times for years I was under the care of the best physicians in Detroit and I tried a number of advertised medicines. Nothing helped me until, on the advice of a neighbor, I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I felt relieved before the first box was finished and I kept on taking them until I was cured. "Last winter my little girl had rheumatism and I gave her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and she got well right away. My niece was thought to be going into consumption and, upon my advice, she tried the pills. They cured her cough and she is now well and strong. My entire family are enthusiastic over Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and we cannot say enough in their praise." These pills effect such cures because they go to the root of the disease. Other remedies act on the symptoms—the marvelous vegetable pills remove the cause of the trouble. They have proved themselves to be an unfailing specific for all diseases arising from impure blood and weakened nerves—two fruitable causes of nearly all the ills to which humankind is heir.

We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command. There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each..... 30 Illinois and North Carolina, 12 each..... 24 Mississippi..... 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas..... 12 Missouri..... 9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each...... Washington, D. C...... Virginia and Tennessee, 4 each.. California, Ohio, New Jersey, and California, Ohio, New Jersey and New York each have 3..... Kansas, Nebraska, Maryland and Colorado each 3. Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Indian Territory have one cooh. Published in the south.....101 Published in the west.....44 Published in the east.....26 Total .....171 And yet there are what are called political and pocket newspapers. We have about 20 of them that last sometimes a year. The whites are flooded down with them. Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side with weekly white papers of this country. Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispense news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and brilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. We Must Now Get to Business. We have been so busy in politics that we have lost sight of the young dudes that hang around Jefferson avenue and Market street watching for the schoolgirls, also on the different corners as far down as Fifteenth street. This must be stopped. We call the attention of Chief Desmond to this evil. Put some shrewd Negro detective to watch their points, and then find them out and carry about twenty of them to the stations. John D.
