Last Wednesday night Odd Fellows' hall, at Twenty-seventh and Franklin avenue, was crowded with the members of the order in response to a call from Past Grand Masters' Council No. 49 and St. Louis Patriarchy No. 50.

Temple, the deputy grand master of the order in the United States, Canada, Central and South America, Africa and the islands of the Pacific ocean. At 10 o'clock, by request of J. D.

D. Buchanan, of Council No. 49, called the great host of Odd Fellows to order, while the Odd Fellows' quartette sang, "Bless Be the Tie," after which the following presents were presented to Mr. Temple: A rosewood Morris chair, in behalf of Past Grand Masters' Council No. 49, by J.

As Mr. Temple arose, filled with emotion, he began by leading the singing of, "A Charge to Keep I Have." The following is the response in part: Worshipful Grand Master, Fellow Members of the Order—I accept the numerous presents given to me tonight as an expression of good will and esteem that is held out to me by the Odd Fellows in this city. After twelve years of leadership in this state, as well as the nation, I feel that although my footsteps are nearing the sunset of life, there is yet a pleasant feeling for me in the hearts of the brethren. This is a season of thanksgiving when men and women pray and return thanks to God for health, happiness, and the success that I have had in trying to build up our order, I will not forget to ask God to shower His blessings upon you and each of you for your kind remembrance of the widow's son who has attempted to lead you onward and upward for years. I shall invoke good blessings upon us, as we are all members of an unfortunate race. Let us make this a continuous season of thanksgiving by praying the prayer of faith, hope and charity with our eyes ever upon the sacred principles of friendship, love and truth. Permit me to thank you again and again for this magnificent expression of good will and confidence. There are two things I never forget. One is the good things done for me, the other is the bad things done to me. I can see to-night a brighter sky bending over me than ever before to catch the light of the rising sun of a new and brighter day. I pledge you a faithful devotion to duty, which is the best recompense that I can offer you. Grand master, your action to-night has fittingly typified the enterprise and wealth of our grand institution. In the near future it will be my pleasure to demonstrate my appreciation of the many costly presents that you have so kindly given me to-night. My fondest hope is for health, happiness and prosperity to lead in the wake of the march of you all. KEPT HIS PROMISE. A Friend of The Palladium Sends a Breezy Letter From Chicago. Chicago. Ill. Chicago, Ill. Mr. Jno. W. Wheeler, Editor St. Louis Louis Palladium: Dear Sir—I promised to send you some news during my trip away from St. Louis. I arrived here November 17, and am attending the Northern Illinois college of ophthalmology. I have the pleasure of being the first Negro to enter this school since it opened its doors ten years ago. I enclose under separate cover a copy of its catalogue to you concerning the Colored people of Chicago from a business stand- point I must say that they are not nearly so progressive as their St. Louis brethren. There is only one real first- class Colored hotel in the city and it is called "The Keystone." The Colored undertakers here are very much in evidence, but they own no horses or rigs, and either Russell or Gordon does more business in St. Louis in a single day than all of the Colored firms here combined. Colored saloons flourish on State street, this being the leading business thoroughfare for Colored enterprises. There is not nearly so much money handled among the Colored people here as there is in St. Louis. It is next to impossible for a Colored person to rent a respectable dwelling or business house here. There are several Colored girls in the post office, thirty-seven Negro doctors who are doing fairly well, and some score or more of Negro lawyers, a few of whom have offices and fair practices. The Broad Ax and Conservator are the leading papers. The Chicago Tribune, one of the leading daily republican papers of Chicago, spends as much of its time vilifying Roosevelt and the Negro as does Tillman of South Carolina. Some young Negro confidence men tried to pick your humble servant up Friday night, but they were both locked up for their trouble. At the police station I told a Negro officer in reply to his question as to who I was, that I was the traveling representative of the St. Louis Palladium. He then asked me if I was Jno W. Wheeler. I told him no. He said that he had heard of Wheeler and The Palladium, and that anybody that bothered with any of the equipments of that organ usually came out the small end of the horn. So he had been informed. Senator Tillman accounts for the republican avalanche by stating that it was caused by prosperity, the personality of President Roosevelt, the use of money and the inability of Bryan to pacify his followers. This Building Was Destroyed By Fire Saturday Nov. 19, 1904. Negro Republicans Hold Ratification Meeting. The Colored republicans of St. Louis Tuesday night crowded Douglass hall, Lawton avenue and Beaumont street, to celebrate the victories of the party in nation, state and city at the polls on November 8. A band of music was in attendance, and enthusiasm ran high. Aaron W. Lloyd, a Negro member-at-large of the state republican committee, opened the meeting and presided. J. E. Osborn was secretary, Rev. W. D. Cook, pastor of St. Paul's chapel, offered prayer, and Prof. P. H. Murray, editor of the St. Louis Advance, read an address, in which he paid an eloquent tribute to President Roosevelt, whose election, he said, meant that the Negro was not to be eliminated in the United States. Rev. R. E. Gillum, of Union Memorial church, said the great republican victory at the polls meant that the American people were determined to express their disapproval of false doctrines and pretensions of democracy. Prof. W. T. Vernon denied the charge that the Negro either sought or desired so-called social equality with the whites, but he urged the Colored men to prove themselves worthy of the opportunity made possible for them by the fearless stand taken in their behalf by President Roosevelt. State Chairman Thomas K. Niedringhouse was present and was given an oation. Addresses were also made by Capt. G. H. Tandy and Rev. W. J. Holland.—Globe-Democrat. 4 C. H. Tandy was lustily called for, but on account of the lateness of the hour, he read a paper, which complimented the president and the victory won, ending with a resolution indorsing Hon. Thomas K. Niedringhaus as the next senator from Missouri, and that the resolution be the sense of the meeting. The same was seconded by a dozen persons, but the chairman, A. W. Lloyd, refused to put the motion, and at once introduced J. M. Turner, who read a paper reporting to be an excuse for not being present, after which the meeting ended. The action of the chairman was one of the most high-handed outrages that was ever perpetrated by a man who is a member of the state committee. These are the resolutions: RESOLUTIONS. WHEREAS, In the national and state campaign just closed on the 8th of November, the great personal popularity and magnetic influence of the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt with the people in the United States won for him the largest electoral college vote from Washington to McKinley, given to any president, carrying all the doubtful states, and having secured the largest popular vote with the crowning feature of Missouri's electoral vote for him, redeeming her from Bourbon rule and putting her in the proud galaxy of sisterhood of republican states, one of the greatest achievements in the annals of American history; therefore, be it RESOLVED, By the Colored people of the city of St. Louis and the State of Missouri in convention assembled, OUR HONORED GUEST THEODORE ROOSEVELT. that we extend to the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt our heart felt thanks and gratitude for his noble and grand achievements, and especially for keeping the domain of hope open to every man and woman, letting honesty, industry and intelligence be the standard by which people are judged, regardless of all previous condition; that in our homes, in our churches we pray for him that God in His infinite mercy will guard and protect him, giving him a long life of usefulness to his family and his country, and Lyceum Sk The Lyceum Skew sent, at Douglass evening, December Vashon, the eminent musical comedy The club will spare this the most imp of the season. Mr. James W. G harrassed but hope is irresistibly funny WHEREAS, Our great victory here in Missouri has been brought about largely by reason of, and under the guiding hand of our fellow townman, Hon. Thomas K. Niedringhaus, chairman of the Republican State Committee, and as it is largely by reason of his energy, indomitable will and perseverance to the cause of republicanism that we find imperial Missouri proudly taking her rightful position along side those states whose battle cry is progress, prosperity and equality; therefore be it RESOLVED, That we extend to him our sincere thanks and expression of confidence, and that we class him among the true and tried stalwart sons of republicanism, and that we hereby heartily endorse and recommend him to the General Assembly of Missouri for United States Senator. C. H. TANDY, J. W. WHEELER, Editor Palladium. B. M. HENDERSON, Webstar Groves, Mo. CHAS. WHEELER. The members of Onward Lodge No. 17, A. F. & A.

Notice Lyceum Sketch Club. The Lyceum Sketch Club will present, at Douglass hall, on Thursday evening, December 8, Mr. John B. Vashon, the eminent versatile actor, in the musical comedy "Miss Amanthis." The club will spare no pains to make this the most important social event of the season. Mr. James W. Grant, as the much harrassed but hopeful "Brownsmith," is irresistibly funny. Mr. R. A. Hudlin, as the valiant "Captain Littlepop," is the impersonification of the equiliste military beau. Mr. Wm. S. Grant, as the impressionable "Mr. Babcome," is a living example of the curative influence of marriage. The charming vocalist, Miss Vella Crawford, as "Annie Babcome," fascinates all by her graceful acting. The captivating singing soubrette, Miss Almeda Hutchinson, as "Susan," plays the part with a dash and vivacity that is pleasant to see. Last, but not least, Mr. Vashon, as cute, cunning "Miss Amanthis," a lovely little maid of about 250 pounds weight, and as lively as a kitten. It is worth twice the admission fee just to hear her sing. At the close of the performance the Great Western orchestra will furnish music for dancing. Antioch Church Notes. Rev. George W. Dudley, of Texas, preached Sunday, the 20th, at 11 a.m. His subject was, "Holding Up Christ." He urged Christians to hold up Christ daily as He would have us do. At 8 p. m. Rev. B. G. Boggs, the district missionary, preached a good sermon that all enjoyed very much. Among the visitors were Rev. G. W. West, Rev. Clemmens, Rev. Oden and Mrs. A. H. Cooper. Antioch Missionary Circle will have their monthly meeting the first Sunday in December instead of the second Wednesday evening. All members are requested to be present, as election of officers for 1905 will take place. Last Sunday night the Newport was crowded, and all that was needed was there. Of course The Palladium man and his best one were there. But we spoke not. Missouri State Gleanings. CHAMPION PEDESTRIAN. Gabriel Anastasie Has Won That Title by Walking From Liege to St. Louis. Footsore and weary, Gabriel Anastasie, one of 60 contestants, arrived in St. Louis the other day from Belgium, and thereby won a wager of $1,500 and a gold medal set with diamonds, he being the first to complete the trip. The medal was offered by the International Tourist club of Paris, France, and the holder of it is acknowledged to be the champion pedestrian of the world. The contestants started from Liege, Belgium, on September 12, 1904, and from thence walked to Brussels, and thence to Antwerp, where a ship was in waiting to bring the racers to New York. Anastasia landed in New York on September 25. From New York he walked to Washington, D. C.; to Pittsburgh, to Chicago, and from Chicago to Springfield, Ill., to St. Louis. Jean Sphinx, who accompanied him to report his trip and see that the conditions imposed by the club were carried out, traveled from city to city on trains, meeting Anastasia when he arrived by foot. At each of these stopping places the walker was given just enough money to buy his food, being allowed 20 cents a meal, until the next meeting place was reached. This method was employed to prevent the walker from riding on street cars or having railroad fare. "I gred tired sometimes," said Anastasle in broken English, "but I kept on. My feet ached often, and I was compelled to bathe them in cold water. From Chicago I walked the Illinois Central railroad tracks by special permission of the superintendent of the road." The Belgian is 23 years old, and on the trip lost 20 pounds of flesh. Egyptian Magicians to Perform. After the close of the World's fair, 20 Egyptian musicians, jugglers, fire eaters and magicians will go to Columbia and assist in a concert to be given in the auditorium of the Missouri university the evening of December 3. The concert will be given by the Egyptian club of Missouri university, all the members of which are native Egyptians, and the proceeds of the concert will go toward a fund which will be used to advertise Missouri university in Egypt. The Egyptian colony at the Missouri university now numbers 11, and the oriental students hope to double that number next year and to maintain an Egyptian colony permanently. Caught in Mother Hubbard. Deputy United States Marshal W. H. Thomas arrested Charles Rainwater, a federal offender, in Barry county. He was dressed in a "Mother Hubbard" dress and a heavy underskirt. The prisoner, who lives near Jenkins, was taken to Springfield and placed in jail. Rainwater was indicted in Joplin last January on the charge of illicit distilling and failed to appear when suicided. His bond was fixed at $600. It is said that Rainwater had been masquerading as a woman for several weeks. To Experiment in Farm Tiling: The Scully lands, comprising over 100 farms, ranging in size from 40 to 790 acres, in Bates county, are to be experimented with to be kept in proper shape in wet weather.

Former Congressman, Probate Judge and Prosecuting Attorney Passes Away at Marshall. Former Congressman James Cooney died at his home in Marshall, after an illness of ten days with pneumonia and congestion of the liver. Judge Cooney was born in Ireland in 1848, and came to the United States with his family in 1852. He was educated in the public schools and at Missouri university. He taught in the district schools of Boone county for a few years after his graduation from the university, located in Marshall in 1875 and engaged in the practice of law. In 1880 he was elected to the office of probate judge, and in 1882 was prosecuting attorney, which office he held two terms. In 1890 he was elected congressman from the Seventh district, which office he held for three terms, being succeeded by C. W. Hamlin, of Springfield, the present incumbent. After his retirement from congress, Judge Cooney again entered the practice of law with his former partner, L. W. Scott, with whom he had been associated for many years prior to his election to congress. He was also a stockholder in the Salfine County Index Publishing Co., and was a large owner of real estate. Judge Cooney had no children, and his wife survives him. The only other relatives are a brother and sister in New York, the former an officer in the United States army.

More Lights for Mexico. As a direct result of the defeat of a proposition to renew the provisions of the "six-mile road law" at the recent election, Mexico will probably have 50 more are street lights as soon as the arrangements can be made. About six years ago, soon after the adoption of the law which provides that one-fourth of the revenue from saloon licenses shall go to keeping the roads of certain districts in repair, the city council found it necessary to cut street lighting down to the minimum, with the result that Mexico has been poorly lighted. The amount involved in the road law was $1,600 a year. Sequel to Pine Street Tragedy. Heart failure, brought on by grief over the death of his brother, is said to have caused the sudden death of Policeman Daniel P. Shea, of the Sixth St. Louis district, brother of Detective John Shea, who was killed a month ago in a battle with train robbers at 1324 Pine street. Officer Shea was 32 years old and joined the police force at the opening of the World's fair, when the 500 additional patrolmen were sworn in. He served continually in the Sixth district. When his brother met death he was greatly depressed, and never seemed to regain his normal spirits. Fulton Succeeds Dice. R. M.

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.

To make the case for shaving papers, cut a circular piece of card-board the desired size and a number of pieces of tissue paper the same size. Cover the card-board smoothly with a piece of silk, and on it have some older member of the family paint A Match Striker. the "Shavers" design in water-colors; or, and perhaps better, let the youthful worker finish the gift herself, paste on the silk figures cut from some advertising page of paper or magazine. To have "done it all herself" will be a great triumph. Fasten shaving-papers and outside together with a cord loop. For the match-striker, use a covered card-board foundation, put on the "striker" as suggested with the "shavers," but have the gentleman's trousers of sand-paper. ACCEPTABLE XMAS GIFTS. A Couple of Suggestions for the Holiday Season for the Home-workers. When one wants a postal card it is always at a rush time, and yet nothing is more elusive than the postal card—unless it be the notorious collar button. Which fact is explanation for the need of the case herewith illustrated. The case, which is made of colored linen, has a card-board foundation, and may be finished with either a cord or a bow of wash-ribbon. In this day of liking of variations of brown and of green, we would suggest a brown background with embroidery of tawny-colored nasturtiums, or green art-linen ornamented with thistles. This case is RUSH CASE FOR POSTAL CARDS. suitable for presentation to that troublesome being, man, as it is practical and not over-fussy. Another article that probably would meet with masculine appreciation is a pine-needle pillow; a small one to throw over the top of a lounging chair, or a sizeable one for couch or bed. Very pretty designs for these are now shown in the shops, artistic and inexpensive ones. We have in mind a tan cotton with brown cones embroidered thereon, and some lettering among the cones, a woodland quotation. If one is not skilled with the needle, a very pretty case for the fragrant pine can easily and cheaply be made of thin leaf-green silk, and it will convey sylvan suggestion as well as the more elaborate cone-embroidered one. One That Is Both Practical and Easily Made by the Homeworker. To traveler and shopper the powder case is a friend in need, and the one here illustrated is practical, easily made, and can be rolled into small compass. Materials needed are a bit of ribbon, a bit of chamois, a fragment of crepe de chine. Take a piece of taffeta ribbon four inches wide, nine long, and line with chamois; when stitching them together have the ribbon at one end extend a ```markdown ``` little beyond the lining. At the opposite end of the ribbon fasten a scented powder pad of thin silk, or of crepe de chine, the pad a bag about an inch or so wide and as long as the chamois is wide. A case for the pad is made of a piece of ribbon a little wider than the bag, is stitched along the outer edge and fastened with some bany ribbon when the bag is not in use. Another recommendation for this powder-case is that the chamois and powder are in one piece. Thee are always plenty of things to get for girls for Christmas, but what to get for the boy of the family is often a problem, especially if the donor wishes to present something she has made with her own hands. We offer a couple of suggestions to the puzzled planner of the Christmas list; call to the attention a pretty to-boggan cap, and a fine sweater. The former is crocheted, the latter knit. Materials needed for the cap, two hanks of Germantown wool; one of eight-fold and for the border one of four-fold; use long crochet needle No. 7. Make a chain of 46 and join; first row, 46 double crochet; second row, make 28 stars of five stitches each, and repeat for next four rows; for seventh row, decrease one stitch in each row, and do the same with eighth and ninth row; tenth row, take off in three different places one stitch each BOYS' TOBOGGAN CAP. and so on in the following rows, until your cap comes to a point, when you will have only one stitch left. Now turn the cap. To make a border, crochet 32 stars all around the riem, five rows of the same, next one row Pictc edge. Cord nad tassel, and the cap is finished. In giving directions for the sweater, we make provision for a large one, 38-inch bust, but the size may easily be decreased by subtracting five stitches for every inch of bust measure. Cast on 102 stitches on one of the steel needles for the bottom band. Knit two, purl two, making rib of two and two for 24 rows. For twenty-fifth row, use bone needles and knit one, purl one, making rib of one and one for 157 rows; for one hundred and fifty-eighth row, rib 34 stitches for the right shoulder, then bind off 34 stitches for the neck, and on a third needle rib the remaining 34 stitches for the left shoulder. Rib three rows on each shoulder, then on the right-hand needle cast 34 stitches to correspond to those bound off. Now put all the stitches on one needle and continue to rib for 157 rows 10 A GOOD SWEATER. for the other side, then take steel needles in the one hundred and fifty-eighth row of this side and knit two, purl two, making rib of two and two for 24 rows and bind off. For the sleeve, double the sweater, and, with two bone needles, pick up 100 stitches, 50 on each side of center of shoulder. Seam of sleeve must come under the arm. Rib back and forth 15 rows. For sixteenth row, put all the stitches on one needle and knit as before, narrowing one stitch at each end of needle in each following fifth row, until you have narrowed 13 times. The sleeve is 80 rows in length. Then narrow in every other row until the sleeve is 115 rows long, then take steel needles and knit two, purl two for 24 rows. Bind off, and sew up sleeve and under-arm seams. For the collar, cast on 88 stitches on one steel needle, knit two, purl two, making rib of two and two for 72 rows. Bind off, sew the ends together and sew to the neck of sweater, the collar seam a little back of the shoulder. Home-Made Muff. A muff can be made of purple velvet, lined with white satin. An immense bow of purple satin ribbon and a mink's head form the trimmings. The opera glass bag which accompanies the muff is made of velvet, and has a drawing string of purple silk ribbon. A mink's head and two minks' tails form the trimmings. For the Golf Player. A golf scorer is made by covering two pieces of pasteboard with gray linen, lined inside with scarlet silk. On the cover is embroidered two miniature golf sticks and flowers in scarlet silk. It is intended to hold a small pencil and card. 2601 LAWTON AVENUE, N. W. Cor. Jefferson and Lawton Aves.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular pub- lication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fine subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper pub- lished in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. 69 President Roosevelt is busily engaged on his message to congress. The chairman of the meeting spoke out again. What have you to say? The Palladium stands for Thomas K. Niedringhaus for senator from this state. We want home rule. Then, why are men from Kansas City employed to teach the Missouri Negro republicans? Men who want to get office should not antagonize true and tried republicans. We hope that men are not wearing two faces nor trying to ride two horses going in different directions. On account of the victory won in the state of Missouri there will be no Jim Crow car legislation on the subject. St. Louis republicans will boom Thomas K. Niedringhaus for the United States senate to succeed Francis Marion Cockrell. The Palladium was and is all the time for Hon. T. Niedringhaus for senator, and is ready to speak out at all times for our preference. Who was it who invited Hon. T. K. Niedringhaus to the ratification meeting, and had him slaughtered, when every man, woman and child was ready to indorse the resolution? The ring or gag rule was ordered by the chairman. 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. "So shine out, fair sun, till I have bought a looking glass that I may see my shadow as I pass." Hon. Capt. C. H. Tandy was standing up for the republican party when many of those young snipes were in their swaddling clothes, who are now trying their best to shove him out of politics. But The Palladium will give you notice now that such can not be done by any man or set of men so long as The Palladium is at work. 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. [Name] Two Prominent Men of New Orleans. Mr. L. L.

They left their homes on the 14th of November for a pleasure trip to Chicago, Ill., and while there they met a good many of their old friends, some of whom escorted them out to the stock yards and many other places of interest; hence they had a grand time. One leaving there they came direct to St. Louis to see the fair, arriving here on the 23d, and stopped with Prof. A. W. Washington, 2011A Walnut street, who in turn escorted them out to the World's fair, and to many other places of amusement. They were well pleased with the fair and St. Louis, and said that the fair was the greatest and the grandest show the world ever saw. They left for their homes at 1:15 p. m., on the 24th, on the I. C. railroad, after a handshaking with a host of friends at Union station. Thomas K. Niedringhaus Stabbed Among His Friends. Last Thursday, at the meeting of the Negro republicans, one of the most outrageous tricks that was ever played on a man was the action of the chairman of the meeting that was called to give vent to their joy on the victory won on the 8th of November, and to endrove our State Chairman Thomas K. Niedringhaus. This is the worst stab of them all. 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.

St. Luis, Nov. 23.—Thirty negroes, men, women and children, penned on the second and third floors of a burning building at 1200-Morgan street at five o'clock Tuesday morning saved themselves from death by jumping from windows into tarpaulins held by firemen, by groping their way to the street down smoke and flame-filled stairways, and by climbing through a scuttle to the roof and thence to adjoining buildings to be taken down by firemen. Four women, injured in their efforts to escape, are at the city hospital. One of them is unconscious and will probably die. Another, who discovered the fire, and dashed into the building to arouse the sleepers, has a broken leg. She was imprisoned by the fire, forced to hang out of a window to escape smoke and flames, and dropped from a third-story ledge to the ground. The building is a lodging house. There are four rooms on each of the two top floors, and in these were huddled together the 30 tenants, half of them being women and several being children. The fire originated near the center of the third floor. Lettie Brown, who lives in the house, was returning home from work at a restaurant and saw the blaze. She gave the alarm, and ran into the house to awaken the inmates. Patrolman McDermott, who walks that beat, heard her cries and repeated them. Patrolmen Grace and Silverman, who were on adjoining beats, joined McDermott, and ran to the stairs and called to the occupants, all of whom seemed to be aroused. When the fire department arrived the windows were filled with men and women calling to be rescued. Tarpaulins belonging to the Salvage corps were pressed into service as life-nets, and were held by the police and firemen. Too excited to wait for the arrival of the firemen, Nancy Smith, aged 35, jumped from a window of the third floor, striking the sidewalk and fracturing her left hip. Overcome by the smoke, Susie Buchanan, aged 27, fell as she was groping her way down the stairway from the second story and dislocated hef wrist. When the firemen of Engine Company 18 forced their way to the third floor with a line of hose they found Lizzie Hubbard, 80 years old, lying on the floor in a corner of the room unconscious from the dense smoke. She was carried to the street and laid on a pile of bedding that had been thrown from the windows, and the firemen quickly went to work with artificial respiration in their efforts to revive her while the ambulance was on the way from the dispensary. Charles Bass and his wife, Nellie, with their 14-months-old baby, were on the second floor when they were awakened by one of the lodgers. Forcing their way through the smoke and flames, with the baby in the mother's arms, the trio reached the street, completely exhausted from their efforts. They were taken to a nearby house, and an hour later were little the worse for their experience. The other lodgers reached a place of safety by climbing to the roof, from which they were taken on ladders raised by the firemen, by the stairway to the street, and by jumping into the tarpaulins on the sidewalk. The fire, which is supposed to have started from a lighted pipe or cigar dropping into a pile of bedding, damaged the building, which is owned by Mrs. Mary Allen, to the extent of about $500. The contents suffered a loss of not over $100, according to the police. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES. Rev. Dr. E. C. Cole preached a glorious sermon last Sunday, 11 a. m., at First Baptist church. Dr. Howell, of the Second Baptist church, of Lexington, Mo., preached to a crowded house at 7:30 p. m., which was quite a treat to Dr. Cole. The financial rally will take place to-morron at the First Baptist church, and all the members and friends are requested to attend and respond liberally. Mrs. S. P. Philips, of 1504 Clarke avenue, gave a fishing pound party at her home on Tuesday night, November 22. The party was a very lively one, and was well cared for by the madame. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Farris of 3961 Fairfax avenue, are going to break up housekeeping, and will make their future home in Denver, Col. May their future be blessed with pleasure and happiness. Col. J. W. Lee, a staunch and influential member of the First Baptist church, is the leading spirit in the Levee Mission Sunday school, which is located near the levee, on Market street. In this school are seen both white and Colored children every Sunday, gathered for the purpose of hearing the word of God, and reading the Scriptures. This is an effort in the right direction to settle the Race Question, and I commend Mr. J. W. Lee to the world as an honest Christian and a worthy gentleman. Mr. Thomas J. Shumate, Mr. Frank Wotin, Mr. William Williams and Mr. N. B. Russell, of Mate, Miss., were in the city this week, on a visit to the fair, and stopped with Prof. A. W. Washington, 2011A Walnut street. These gentlemen are the promoters of the Mate Plant Agricultural and Industrial school, which is in course of erection at the above place. This school is for Negroes, and is on the order, of Mr. Booker T. Washington's school, at Tuskegee, Ala., and promises to be the best in the world. All subscriptions and donations will be gladly received by that syndicate, at Mate, Miss. T. J. Shumate, president; N. B. Russell, treasurer. Mrs. Julia Townsend, Madame E. B.

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 Orpheus 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 instructionso in the terpsichorean art and deportment, 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. Order or Services For Lane's Tabernacle C. M.

Mary F. Butts, in 8, 8, Times, eg REAL THANKSGIVING. A Suggestion for the Praise, Prayer and Performance Which Should Mark the Day. | “Back of the loaf is the snowy flour; ‘And back of the flour is the mill; And back of the mill ts the wheat and the shower, And the stin, and the Father's will.” “Praise is comely for the upright,” and instinctively we turn, at this glad season of the year, tosuch great Thanks- giving Psalms, as the one hundred and ‘third and the one hundred and eight- eenth, and through them endeavor to express our gratitude to the Giver of all Good who has crowned our lives “with loving kindness and tender mercies.” And as we serlously contemplate the Father's goodness to ourselves, we nat- urally pray that all mankind may have some share in these biessings. But in our rejoicing and praying we should not forget that God expects us to pass on to others a portion of His special good ness to ourselves. Each one of us should endeavor to have something of the beau- tiful spirit that prompted George Mac- Donald to say: “If I can put one touen of a rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I” have worked with God.” ‘A man was told of two motherless children in a wretched garret. “O Lord, he prayed, “please send Thy angels to wateh over and protect these dear babes im their time of need!” And then a voice seemed to cay tohim: “Thou art My angel; go thou and care for these, My little ones.” ‘To his credit be it said, he immediately acted upon this spirit- given suggestion, sought out the cheer- ‘less garret, and provided the friendless ‘children with a comfortable home. ‘When we pray that suffering may be re- lieved, let us be quite eure in our hearts that we have tried to do our duty in this direction. Atacertain Thanksgiving season years ago, 2 New England minister found himself and family sadly in need of the necessities of life. In his extrem- ity, he resolved to inform his people of his condition, and to request them to meet at his house to pray that in some way God would send relief. ‘The meet- ing was held, a number of the neighbors assembling to offer up petitions in be- half of their needy minister. In the midst of the supplications, a hearty knock was heard at the front door. Opening it, the minister found a bright- faced, light-hearted boy, who cried out cheerily: . “Father was unable to come to the meeting, so he has sent! me with his prayers. You'll find them here in the cart; please help me to unload.” And there before the astonished and tear- dimmed eyes of the grateful servant of God, was a pile of grain, fruit and vege- tables, sufficient to last him and his family for many a wintry day. ‘What an object lesson for those who had merely come to pray! What an ob- ject lesson for us who do not unite works with our faith! “What doth‘it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and Lave not works? Car faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; not- withstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body what doth it profit?” ‘Whether we live in city, town, hamlet or country, there are those about us who will need something directly from us imorder that an added bit of Thanksgtv- ing cheer may come into their lives. Ii may be money, food, clothing, or only a kindly word; but something they need, and that something we should bi quick to give. Let us find out these needy ones, says Allan Sutherland, ir the New York Observer, and as they stretch supplicating hands to Heaven for aid, may il be our glorious privilege to be the medium through which God’s blessings shall come to them. Lowel teaches a much-needed lesson in the following stanza, the first line of which we have somewhat changed: | “rhankseiving day 1s kept indeed | In whatso we share with another's need. Not what we give, but what we share— For the gift without the giver is bare: ES gives himself with his aims” feeds ‘Himself, his hungering neighbor, and Me.” It we labeled our troubles by their right names they would not look so TRUE SPIRIT OF THE DAY. How Thanksgiving Day Should Find Expression Within the Heart of Man. ‘Thanksgiving day is not essentially or even distinctively a New England —much less a Puritan—festival. There were Thanksgivings before Governor Bradford's time, as there have been ever since, and as there will be dill time shall cease to be. And when we turn to the Sacred Book, is it not sometimes more than a bald fact that Praise and Love and Heaven claim pre- eminence in Biblical treatment over other subjects, except, indeed, God, His Spirit and Christ? And how closely correlated is love with praise, and what is thanksgiving but the praise of the Divine Being for His bound- less mercies? So we are confronted at the outset with the fact that first And preeminent is Thanksgiving a feligious service—there is no true thanksgiving without recognition of an overshadowing Providence. For, if ‘we have abundant harvest; if ours Is a land of peace and plenty; if every- one enjoys freedom here that in its jeompleted sense is not enjoyed any where else in the wide world as here; if we have frea sebnols, and not only have them for ourselves, but have {n- fluenced other nations—and’ notably Great Britain—in solving their own educational problems; if the human- ities are being developed as never be- fore; if we have waged the wars that ‘baye unwillingly come to us in a very @ifferent spirit from that in which Joshua fought, who thought he was serving a God of infinite tenderness and love in slaying the young and putting the mothers to the sword— if all these blessings have come to us and we are freed from _ pestilence, whom shall we thank but the Giver of all good? Hence it is, then, that we would press home upon all observers of this festival the difference betwoen being thankful and being glad. A man may be glad because he has won his friend’s money at a gambling game; he may rejoice that he has avenged himself upon some one whom he re- gards as his enemy; but thankful he cannot truly be. As nature is all un- satisfying save as we regard a sup: preme beneficent intelligence behind her, so the good things that come into our lives and into the national life of our country are meaningless save as they are traced back to the hand and heart of God. Did God create man and give him an immortal soul, and having accomplished that cease to caro for him? Did the Almighty lead the Israelites through the waters; did He establish them into a nation; did He give them prophets who should in rapt vision tell of a Messiah whose reign should be everlasting; did He tell of a people redeemed from the bondage of captivity, and from the most dread- ful of all captivities—that of sin; did He do all this and more, and has He no pity, no love, no prophecy, no prom: ise for the teeming millions of these United States, with its hundred thou sand of church spires pointing heaven. ward, and telling of the worship of the one true God—whatever may be the de- nominational polity of the sectarian cult? ‘We have taken this line of thought at the present time, says the Christian “Work, because other lines will be pur- sued by others as they meditate or write the Thanksgiving essay or preach the ‘Thanksgiving sermon. That is to say we shall be told what a wonderful coun- ‘try we have; how many we can feed; ‘how great and strong we are; what au enormous population, we have; how many miles of railroad we have; how our trolley lines have been extended (though probably nothing will be said of our indifference to human life and the vie- ‘tims sacrificed yearly to electricity and steam). So it is at this time we would emphasize the religious aspect of our ‘Thanksgiving festival. Good cheer, even athletics and other phases of out- door sports, have come, and they wil remain. None the less, but all the more should we at least devote a portion of the festival to the recalling of out blessings, and to recognizing the hand of the Divine Author and Creator to ‘Whom we owe them all. In this way alone can our festival truly deserve its “Thanksgiving” title—in this way alone can the day be made as helpful in the religious life as it is full of joy and hap- piness on its social side, when the aged grandparents, the father and the moth- er, the children, some with children of thelr own, assemble in the old home- stead, reca!l the old memories with faces now vanished and voieos now stilled, and the lovelight is seen in the eyes and the love greeting is received as it is sure tc be every Thanksgiving day as the years 0 by.

Ah, how strong drink strips of everything; home, wife, children, friends, position, man- hood. See it onevery hand. The great est robber in the world to-day is Strong Drink. It robs nations and individ. uals. (2) Uvercome, vs. 2,3.--Israel was just on the brink of destruction. “A mighty and a strong one” in the person of Assyria was soon to sweep down and ‘overcome the nation made weak and dis- solute through drink. Samaria, that Dewutiful city, the pride of the nation, was to be cast down. The man wha putteth his hand to the cup has given himself into the hands of an eaemy that will finally overcome him. (3) Destroyed, v. 4—Read 2 Kings 11:1-23 for the story of how utterly Is- rael was destroyed. The figure of the fading flower tells of the departed glory of Israel, and the figure of the early fruit that was quickly eaten expresses the haste and eagerness with which the ‘Assyrian foe utterly consumed the cit ies and land of Israel.
