[Portrait of a man in a dark shirt and white collar, with a mustache and a goatee, set against a decorative background with columns and ornamental designs]. REV. W. D. COOK, D. D. Vol. XXI. No. 17. Bishop Turner's 25th Episcop AN APPEAL TO To the Bishops, General Officers, Presiding Elders, Pastors and Laity of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Greeting: Among highly civilized nations when a man has served his country faithfully as a statesman or a soldier for a quarter of a century, all those who have been recipients of results coming from the services rendered, embrace every opportunity to in some way express their appreciation for blessings that have come to their homes and their hearts; also to do honor where it is deserved. Indeed such acts indicate in each individual a high mark of civilization. In the Christian church the followers of Jesus Christ have in all ages been equally as expressive in their acts of gratitude to those who have made it possible for them to enjoy personal contact with the Holy Spirit, peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ and the hope of eternal life. When our Heavenly Father has set His seal of approval upon the work of such individuals for twenty-five years, it makes all thinking people feel like rushing to offer tributes of respect and do them honor. Thus it was with Pope Leo, when he had served his church as such twenty-five years he was presented with a crown that cost twenty-five thousand dollars. The report has just come to us that the Queen Dowager of China received on her birthday anniversary, the 12th day of February of the present year, ten million dollars' worth of presents, consisting of quantities of gold, precious stones, pearls, pink corals, bronzes, green jade stones, mechanical toys encrusted with diamonds and other valuable gifts. This we do not expect for the occasion that we present to you at this time, but refer to these as incidents representing the loyalty and devotion of the donors, and request that the ministry and the laity of the A. M. E. Church and others who are really interested in the celebration of the TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CONSECRATION TO THE BISHOPRIC OF RT. REV. HENRY M. TURNER, D.D LL.D. of the said church to prepare to make it an event in the history of the church of his choice that will strengthen our love for God, faithfulness to duty, loyalty to the cause and devotion to the doctrine of Christ as enunciated by Methodism. We also ask that each congregation composing the A. M. E. Church hold services on the evening of the date of celebration and thank God for the good and great men that He has given to the church in general; to African Methodism in particular, and plead at a throne of grace for His continued blessing and protecting care upon all institutions, departments, congregations and individuals committed to His keeping. After this a programme prepared by the pastor and local committee of each congregation may be rendered, consisting of music, songs, appropriate papers, addresses, etc. After careful deliberation and prayer the committee has concluded that in order to make the celebration a success and credit we appeal to the connection. The pastor of every station, circuit and mission is requested to contribute amounts ranging from one to five dollars, or any amount feasible, and send the same to the financial secretary, Rev. E. W. Lampton, D.D., 1541 Fourteenth street, N. W., Washington, D. C., who has been made treasurer of the committee on finance. All persons sending contributions will receive a copy of the programme. At the same time all those who are disposed may bring or send gifts, for what branch of African Methodism has not been benefited by and availed itself of Bishop Turner's counsel, his courage, his loyalty and undying allegiance? All presents should be sent by May 12, and addressed to Rev. W. D. Cook, D.D., 15 North Lefflingwale avenue, St. Louis, Mo., as St. Paul's of that city has been settled upon as the most appropriate place for this celebration, since the Missouri conference was the first of which the bishop was a member, and St. Louis was the place where he was elected and ordained to the bishopric. The celebration will be held May 18-21, 1895. This is in keeping with the resolution offered by Rev. A. J. Carey, D.D., and passed by the general conference in May, 1904. The programme for this occasion will be out in the near future. A. Grant, chairman, 502 Washington avenue, Kansas City, Kas. John M. Henderson, 1 Ramsey street, Boston, Mass. R. H. W.

Services Sunday. April 2. Services were well attended, quite a number of visitors were present. The pastor, Rev. S. P. Anderson delivered a fine sermon, many good thoughts were brought out.

Madam Irving, the famous milliner and haidresser, at 2600 Pine street, wants help. She has three young ladies, but her business has so increased that she is in need of more help. That is the result of sticking to business. --- "NEEDED ON SCHOOL BOARD." SAYS NEGRO. Dr. W. P. Curtis Declares Whites Can't Understand Race From Barber or Cook. "REPRESENT 5,000 PUPILS." Colored Man Says He Would Be a Great Aid in Solving Public School Problem. Dr. William P. Curtis of 1409 Market street is the first Negro to aspire to membership in the St. Louis school board. He has notified Chairman Jeppa Howe of the republican central committee that he would like to be one of the two republicans on the "non-partisan," or rather, bi-partisan, ticket in April. "My name will be presented to the nominating convention next Wednesday," Dr. Curtis told a Post-Dispatch reporter, "if I can get a delegate to present it. There will be about a dozen Negro delegates. If defeated I will have it presented again later on. "I am seeking the nomination at the solicitation of my friends," he said. "They believe—and I agree with them—that a Negro on the school board would be an aid to the board as well as to the Negro school teachers and pupils." "There are 13 Negro schools in St. Louis, 130 Negro teachers and more than 5,000 Negro pupils. White men do not understand the Negro, as a rule, and the high-class gentlemen who comprise the school board do not understand, I am sure, the inner lives of the Negroes of St. Louis. White men will say: 'Oh, yes, I know all about the Negro' and then they will tell you that they have talked about it to their barber or coachman or Mary, the cook, who has been with them 30 years. "But there are other Negroes in St. Louis besides the serving class. There are families who are deeply interested in the education of their children; there are homes where there is culture and polish, there are circles where the cultured white man would be pleasantly surprised were he to enter them. "This class of Negroes St. Louis seldom hears about. It hears about Negroes who apply for jobs as janitors in political offices. Well, this movement to place a Negro on the school board is designed partly to show to the white people of St. Louis that there are Negroes who take an interest in the public welfare, who do not desire political recognition for the money that there is in it, but who are willing to do what they can to aid the white brother in contributing to the public good. "There is no salary attached to the position of school director, I maintain that I or any other competent Negro would be of service to the gentlemen of the board. Suppose questions arise now regarding the Negro schools? How are the gentlemen who live, for instance, in Vandeventer place, to decide them? They must depend upon the word of others. A Negro on the board would be in a position to learn the truth first hand. "Then the welfare of the Negro pupils, morally and otherwise, is most important. Intelligent white men, no matter how honestly they wish to conserve it, are usually not in a position to understand the subject thoroughly. For instance, the location of some of the Negro schools now should be changed or the conditions improved. There are schools where the girls must pass along streets infested by disreputable persons every day. This should not be." Aunt Hager's All Right. Quite a number of persons have asked us about the article concerning Mr. W. P. Curtis. We wish to state that the article was not on W. P. Curtis. It was intended to answer the interview that was made by Mr. Curtis on the 9th of March through the Post-Dispatch. We are not fighting doctors, lawyers, preachers or any other professional men, but we reserve the right to answer any article that comes from any man or woman that attacks the people. So it is of no use to get hot in the collar, for we are still doing business at the old place. The Palladium is published for all classes of people. We are not called upon to defend the big or little Negro. But we are the big stick, and that stick will land on any one's head that is not right. Yours truly, Stop that cough.

THE CAMPAIGN Of the Negro of St. Louis is On —What Shall the Harvest Be? We trust that the republicans elected will remember that 10,000 or more Negroes gave their votes for the republican party. That is clearly seen by the returns, and in the organization You will see strange sights if you will visit the playhouses this week. You will see that it was "Midnight in New York" when the "Jolly Grass Widows" sent "The Errand Boy" away so they could play "Checkers" with "The Factory Girl," to see which would first see "Repertoire" when "The Royal Chef" made his "Escape From Sing Sing." Will Soon Leave for the Windy City. Mr. and Mrs. Ously, of 204 South Sixteenth street, will soon leave for Chicago to spend the rest of their days.

We trust that the republicans elected will remember that 10,000 or more Negroes gave their votes for the republican party. That is clearly seen by the returns, and in the organization of the city council to-day, we trust that some Negro will be remembered. The Palladium has done more effective work than all the so-called white republican papers in St. Louis. We have always stood out fully in the light, not only making two or three speeches a night, but through the columns of The Palladium we thundered forth the principles of our party. Now we have come, after the battle has been fought and won, and ask that we be remembered. Gentlemen of the city council, the work after the successful battle last Tuesday is up to you. We ask for the representation of 70,000 Negroes and over 10,000 Negro voters. What shall the harvest be? Announcement. The Palace bathhouse will from now on be under the management of Will Tonsall, formerly manager of the Newport hotel, and one of our well-known young men, who will endeavor to please his friends, both ladies and gentlemen, as he has an apartment for ladies, also a lady attendant, the partnership between Lewis & Tonsall having been dissolved.

Memorial services were held in memory of the Rev. J. R. Patton, a Presbyterian minister, who died at Cyrene, Mo., recently. The presbytery discussed the Sunday closing of saloons in St. Louis, and when the papers reached here announcing that the saloons were to be closed in Kansas City on Sunday there was a demonstration. The closing sermon was preached by Rev. W. T. Raley of Louisiana. To Inspect National Guard. Announcement has been made by Adjt. Gen. DeArmond that Brig. Gen.

The removal was directed by members of the freshman academic class, who decorated it with placards bearing their class sign. The stone weighs several tons. Names of Corporations Wanted. Names of Corporations Wanted. The secretary of state, John E. Swanger, has called upon the several counties of the state and the city of St. Louis for the names of all foreign corporations doing business in Missouri.

Falling to comply with the law subjects the corporation to a fine of not less than $1,000. Good Contract. The executive board of curators of Missouri university met at Columbia and awarded the contract for the gymnasium to R. Wilson of St. Louis for $4,600.

Ed Dennis, a farmer living at Lindell, was instantly killed in a runaway, his wagon wheels passing over his head and crushing it.

A man apparently 45 years old was found hanging by the neck, dead in a boxcar in the Frisco freight yards, at Springfield. He had evidently committed suicide, using a strip of an old towel. From an admittance card to the Frisco hospital here and other articles found on the body, it is believed that the man's name is Dan Finton and that he had recently been employed at HaytI, Mo., with an extra crew of Frisco workmen. Strange Honeymoon. Edward Fisher, who gave his place of residence as Hull, Ill., reported to the police department of Hannibal that he had been drugged and robbed of $90.

The Murdered Man, However, in His Ante-Mortem Statement, Charged Her With the Deed. St. Joseph, Mo., April 7.—Despite Paul E. Druckemiller's ante-mortem statement that Miss Grace Vest shot him, the young woman declares the tragedy as much a mystery to her as to anyone. Her story is that Druckemiller, who was chief clerk in the bureau of animal industry, and roomed at Miss Vest's house, was alone, so far as she knows, in his room at the time of the shooting. She says she heard a shot and, rushing to the room, found Druckemiller writhing on the floor. He was wounded in the side, and so far back that physicians say it would have been impossible for him to have fired the shot himself. Police Sergeant Kelley, the first officer to reach the dying man's side, found a bottle of strychnine near him. Miss Vest explains that Druckemiller asked for the poison to end his suffering. The police express the opinion that Miss Vest tried to administer it after failing to kill the young man with a revolver. Druckemiller's account was that Miss Vest shot him because he refused to leave his wife and elope with her. Letters which passed between Druckemiller and the woman indicate that such a request was made.

Hunter killed himself here with strychnine. Illness in his family and business troubles were assigned as the cause in a letter addressed to his wife. The Count Completed and the Result Given to the Public. Democrats Secure the Mayor and Divide the Remainder of Ticket With the Republicans. St. Louis, April 6.—Rolla Wells has been re-elected mayor of St. Louis to serve four more years. He defeated Judge John A. Talty, the republican candidate, by 1,425 plurality. The democrats elected the mayor, comptroller, auditor, treasurer, collector and president of the board of assessors. The republicans elected the president of the board of public improvements, the register, marshal, inspector of weights and measures and the president of the council. Wells received 44,307 votes to Talty's 42,942. The democratic candidate's plurality was 1,425. The pluralities of other successful candidates ranged from 300 to 500 votes, and no one but Wells went over 900 plurality. The proposition to increase the bonded indebtedness of the city by $9,000,-000 was defeated, the vote being: For, 33,684; against, 33,870; necessary to carry, 64,916. The charter amendments to increase salaries of city officials, including members of the assembly, were defeated. The vote was 31,171 yes; 36,656 no for officers; 32,184 yes, 36,652 no for members of assembly. Necessary to carry, 64,916. The defeated republican candidate for mayor says he will contest the election on account, in particular, of frauds in the fourth ward, where the vote for Wells was larger than the entire legal vote of the ward. CHICAGO AND COOK COUNTY. Result of Tuesday's Election as Shown by the Full and Final Unofficial Returns. Chicago, April 6.—The full returns show that Judge Dunne was elected mayor at Tuesday's election by 24,061 plurality. The other officers elected were: City treasurer, F. W. Blocki, democrat; city clerk, Adrian C. Anson, democrat; city attorney, John F. Smulski, republican. The latter won on his popular personality. His plurality was less than 5,000. On the entire county ticket, which included judges of the circuit and superior courts, coroner and clerks of courts, republican pluralities ranged from 70,000 to 100,000. The socialist vote was heavier than had been anticipated, running near 20,-000. The present city council has a republican majority of two. Indications are the republicans will control the next council, so that Judge Dunne will have opposition in controlling legislation. Judge Dunne was formerly a Bryan democrat. Chicago has declared in favor of the $5,000,000 bond issue for a new courthouse. The votes cast for the proposition were 131,276 and those against 96,341, leaving a plurality of 34,935. THE ELECTION IN KANSAS. Some Unlooked-For Reverals of Usual Results—Women Carried Kansas City, Kas. Kansas City, Kas., April 6.—Elections were held in the larger cities of Kansas Tuesday. The democrats carried Kansas City, Kas., and Leavenworth, this being a revolution and entirely unlooked for in each case. Topeka elected the republican ticket. Wm. W. Rose, democrat, was elected mayor of Kansas City, Kas., by probably 1,500 plurality, defeating the present republican mayor, Thomas B. Gilbert; M. A. Waferman, independent, and W. J. Kelchner, socialist. The election aroused more interest than any previous election in Kansas City, Kas., and it was notable because of the activity of women voters. Of a total registration of 18,000 voters, 5,000 were women, and the election of Rose is due to the women. Leavenworth elected Peter Everhardy, democrat, mayor by 200 majority over D. R. Anthony, republican. Finley Ross, republican, was elected mayor of Wichita by a large majority, and the entire republican ticket. Democrats Sweet SpringSold Springfield, Ill., April 6.—The democrats made a clean sweep at the city election yesterday.

"Why do you have so many rattle snakes in your village?" asked the visiting owl. "Well," replied the prairie dog, "we can't suppress the ratlesnake evil, or course, but we regulate it." "How do you regulate it?" "Why, we let them settle down among us wherever they choose, and then we oestracize them socially and keep out of their way."—Chicago Tribune. Name Was Appropriate. "I have come," said the old subscriber "to complain about your report of my daughter's wedding." "What was the matter with it?" de- manded the editor. "Well, her name is Gratia, but you printed it 'Gratis.'" "That's not so bad. She was giver away, wasn't she?"—Tit-Bits. Why Night Falls. The night falls and I'll tell you why, So listen well and hark. The reason is, of course, because It stumbles in the dark. -Chicago Chronicle.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular pub- lication. (4) More bona fide subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. Be a "Booster" and never be a "Knocker." The Globe-Democrat will do well to bear this in mind. Behold, they come! Who? The 10,000 Negro voters of St. Louis, and ask: "What shall the harvest be?" We hope to have some consideration in the eyes of the republican party, as we did some good work for the republican party. Wherever there was a large Negro vote that ward went republican, except the Fourth ward, where General Snake Kinney and a few black scoundrels did their dirty work. While The Palladium man is for the party principles, and works on that line, yet we would like to eat at the price counter. We take our chances among the 10,000 Negro voters. What say you, gentlemen of the council? The Palladium man receives 20 cents a month for the Palladium up to $2.50 per month and yet we pay as much attention to those that pay us 20 cents as we do those we receive $2.50 from. And yet we are not doctors. We are not like the democratic party, and say we stand on our past record. We stand on the principles of the G. O. P., and we carry them out. Now we ask: Will the city council remember those 10,000 Negro votes that made it possible for them to be city councilmen? The 10,000 Negro voters will see. We had a number of roosters in our camp, but Snake Kinney and a few rascals that fear neither the governor's nor Chief Kiely's order, but with the penitentiary gates standing ajar, where angels dare not go. But with a fair count they will see that the Fourth did their work well. For the next six weeks The Palladium will devote two columns or more to the advertising of the great celebration that will take place at St. Paul chapel in honor of Bishop Turner, the senior bishop in the A. M. E. church. This will be one of the most notable gatherings of Christian amabassadors of God that ever assembled in any country. Some of our dignitaries say that our Auntie, the barber, and those looking for political office ought not to be considered, as we now have men and women who are not of that class. This is passing strange. The manager of the Palladium thinks as much of the old Auntie, the barber, and those looking for political office as we do of the men that pay us $2.50 per month, and yet we are not a doctor. The Palladium and Globe. We are pleased to announce that the Palladium is the only fearless republican paper in St. Louis. When men are to be chosen as representatives of the republican party we try to get the men we favor in our party. But if we fail we bow to the will of our party and surrender. Then roll up our sleeves and go in and elect them. Not so with the Globe-Democrat. When they fail to get their men they write dirty editorials about the men they don't want. And for weeks they continue until they see that they are not regarded as a republican newspaper. They come in on the last day. We trust that the party will regard those that stand up for them at all times. JOTTINGS. The safe in the post office at Vermont, Mo., was blown by robbers, who got $26. The betrothal of King Alfonso of Spain and Archduchess Eleanore Marie of Austria is announced in the Paris Figaro. The City national bank of New York has been designated by Secretary of War Taft as depository for the Dominican customs moneys. Snow fell, Thursday morning, in portions of Missouri, Indiana and Wisconsin, and frost covered the ground in some localities in Kansas. Father Joseph Casey, of St. Louis, aged 25 years, is to take an examination at Fort Myer, Va., for a chaplaincy in the United States regular army. President Roosevelt arrived in St. Louis while they were counting the votes on the municipal election, but didn't stop long enough to learn the result. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Schenck, of Indianapolis, are the parents of an infant which weighed at birth but 1½ pounds. It is perfectly formed and healthy. Mrs. Gustine Muller jumped from her carriage, with which the horses were running away, in Philadelphia, and was instantly killed by striking her head against the curb. The body of a youth, with head, arms and legs below the knee missing, and wrapped in an old blanket, was found at a street corner in the northern part of San Francisco. Divorced 27 years ago, William A. Ross, of Lafayette, Ind., and Mrs. Rada Ross, of the same place, were remarried. Their three children brought about the reunion. John Sauer, aged 29, a prominent citizen of Jeffersonville, Ind., literally broke his neck trying to see President Roosevelt at Louisville, Ky. He slipped and fell, dying almost instantly. Joseph A. Wheelock, of Redlands, Cal., says that he remains of John Paul Jones are not buried in Paris, but in Dumfries, Scotland, to which place his mother caused them to be transferred from Paris. First Baptist Church Notes. Dr. E. C. Cole preached an excellent sermon last Sunday morning at the First Baptist church, and immediately at the close of the services the different clubs met to transact their usual weekly business, and while the Pleasant Workers' club was rejoicing over its success in the entertainment which they had on the 27th of March, the Carnation club was planning for their dinner, which they expect to give next Sunday. While this was going on, the Ruth club was serving dinner in the chapel. It was indeed a fine one. Mrs. Mariah Lee, the mother of Mr. Abraham Lee, of 1308 Clark avenue, is very sick, and has been for some time. It is hoped that she will recover soon. Madame Nora Lee, an influential member of the First Baptist church, who resides at 1308 Clark avenue, speaks in the highest praise of The St. Louis Palladium and its management. The Grand Patriots, United Order of Odd Fellows of America, will give a parlor social at the home of Mr. Jefferson Porter, 419 South Fifteenth street, on the third Tuesday in this month. All Odd Fellows, their wives and friends are invited to attended. Admission 15 cents; lunch free. Don't fail to attend the Choral Singing society at the First Baptist church, which meets every Thursday night at 7:30, and is conducted by Prof. J. Arthur Freeman, who is one of the best musicians in the city. Come one, come all; it costs you nothing to come and learn how to sing. The Knights of Pythias' annual sermon will be preached by Dr. E. C. Cole next Sunday at the First Baptist church. All Pythians are cordially invited. The Ladies' Court society will have their annual sermon preached at the First Baptist church on the third Sunday in the present month. S. L. Pickett. Drugs fresh daily.

Another Campaign is Now On. For the past two months the Negroes have waged war for the rights and doctrines of the republican party all over this state and in St. Louis. The Negroes stood up wonderfully for the party, and for their faithful work white republicans get in office now. It comes time now for the Negroes to look for something else besides the party's principles. We want some of the positions to be filled. The Palladium has stood up for the party as firm as the rock of Gibraltar—throwing hot shots into the democratic party and urging the race to stay on board, which they did. Now we want to eat at the pie counter. Let the republicans be just and fair to the race, and they will always find that Aunt Hagar's children will stand firm by the G. O. P. A New Bar. We take pleasure in presenting Mr. Charles Narcise, who is now managing a bar at 2216 Chestnut street. We hope that he will be successful, as he is one of our old citizens, and we have known the young man for many years. Give him a call. One of the prettiest places in the city is the Douglass Bar, 2645 Lawton avenue. Yes, the bar at 2216 Chestnut street, is a very nice place. Don't forget, as he, Mr. Charles Narcise, one of our citizens. So go and see for yourself. If you have not visited the Railroad Porters' Cafe headquarters, 2315 Market street, and want to be filled, go there. Their father and mother, also son, know what you want.

ROOSEVELT WILL USE WIRELESS TLEEGRAPH. President Roosevelt Will Keep in Touch With Loeb and the World in Colorado. Glenwood Springs, Col., April 6.—During his hunting trip in Colorado President Roosevelt will keep in constant touch with Secretary Loeb and his official staff at Glenwood. This J. will be accomplished by means of the wireless telegraph under the supervision of the military arm of the government. Plans to this end are being perfected here by army officers. Two expert signal corps telegraph operators have been detailed to accompany President Roosevelt into the wilderness to send and receive his messages. At Glenwood the sending station will be located on the summit of Lookout mountain, where a large pavilion is located. In this the operators will work. Two wires will be temporarily strung up the side of Lookout mountain, just north of town, and connected with the local lighting system, which will furnish the current for operating the induction coils. The messages will be telephoned to and from the operator at the Hotel Colorado, where Secretary Loeb will be located. The weather has moderated very much, and three or four days of sunshine will clear off the snow now covering the big game country and make it very comfortable for packing and camping. The presidential party is expected to arrive at Glenwood Springs at about nine o'clock on the morning of April 15. THE MARK W. Neatly Furnished Rooms 703 and 711 NORTH 14th. Street.

We are confident that many of our people are looking for permanent homes, and we would suggest that they look to the great state of Texas, in order to make a personal investigation of the wonderful possibilities of the Lone Star state. Texas, particularly the territory traversed by the San Antonio & 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 Shiner. Kerrville Branch—San Antonio to Kerrville. Corpus Christi Branch—Corpus Christi to Kenedy. Rockport Branch—Rockport to Gregory. Alice and Falfurrias Branch—Skidmore 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 winter. It is understood that the low rate Homeseekers' tickets will continue to be on sale during November and December to all San Antonio & Aransas Pass points, of which the following are the most prominent local stations: Falfurrias, Corpus Christi, Alice, Bceville, Skidmore, Runge, Cuero, Yorktown, Hallettsville, Rock Island, Yoakum, Cameron, Lulling, Rockport, Kennedy, Karnes City, Floresville, Rockdale, Gonzales. You can pack up Salle and the babies and go south, and they will show you all of these fertilized fields, where you can enjoy life. It is a sad mistake when our people crowd into a large city. You can do better by taking up your home in Texas. We will continue this appeal for the benefit and welfare of the Negroes. Go on SAN ANTONIO & ARANSAS PASS RAILWAY. If you wish to spend a pleasant winter, 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 other things you wish to do, just take ad-just think! Only $15 a round trip to Texas. vantage of the never-before-heard-of offer of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway and go 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 inconvenience is to take advantage of whatever 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 also 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 Antonio railroad has access to every available point, and makes this special 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. Don't hesitate longer. Buy your ticket and go at once. A good horse for sale, at 2944 St. Ferdinand avenue. Warning. When you go to the drug store to buy a bottle of Ozonized Ox Marrow be sure that you get the "Ozonized." See that "Ozonized Ox Marrow Co., Chicago, U. S. A." is printed on the package. Remember that the "Ozonized" it put up only in fifty-cent size and is made only in Chicago and by us. We have no branch offices. Refuse all substitutes.

A Calm and Placid Manner and Way of Looking at Life Conducive to Growth of Physical Charm. Temper has much to do with the destruction of a fine and delicately tinted skin. You are familiar with the woman who becomes pale with anger or purple with rage, yellow with disappointment or green with envy. The pallor, the purple patches, and the jaundice are apt to become fixed—and a woman whose complexion consists of a scheme of color in which these tints predominate, distinctly bears the color imprint of the sere, the yellow leaf. A bad complexion is sometimes the outward and visible sign of a bad temper, hence serenity is to be cultivated as an aid to natural beauty, says a writer in the American Queen. Worrying about household matters and servants is to be avoided at all cost as tending to accelerate the fading of June's roses from the cheeks of the not too youthful, and the temptation of the active mind, always to be doing something, must be s renuously resisted. Unless you have plenty of rest and relaxation, both of mind and muscle, your mirror will soon begin to cast reflections on your face and tiny little wrinkles will appear one by one, as the stars come out on a summer's night. But "when soft slumber allures thee," be careful not to sleep with the hand under the cheek, as this certainly tends to numb and shrink the skin. Another point to attend to is not to allow the jaw to drop when you fall asleep; this is apt to foster the appearance of lines on either side of the mouth. Undoubtedly bad temper is not the only enemy of beauty, but also the first cause of many nervous disorders, and many of the ills that follow a bad digestion. Who has ever seen a really happy woman with an unwholesome looking skin? Worry, continuous fretting, envy and maliciousness not only wear the face with ugly lines, but destroy the foundations of the entire constitution. Therefore beware, and use the only solvent remedy. Cultivate calmness, courage, cheerfulness, amiability and affection, and as the sun drives the fog of night before it, so the ugliness will give place, if not to beauty, then to charm. RETAIN YOUTHFULNESS. Many Women Let Themselves Grow Old and Faded Through Neglect of a Little Precaution. The old woman who wants to be young must learn all over again how to walk. And before she does this she must learn how to stand. Stand well and you will walk well is a pretty good rule, declares Mme. D'Arcy. To stand well your feet must be comfortable. And this is a good thought for the elderly woman. Make your feet comfortable. Few old women are able to stand well because they have aches and pains which make their feet feel ill at ease. Feet can be kept more comfortable by rubbing them with vaseline every night. They can be kept comfortable by changing the shoes every day. Never wear the same pair of shoes all day long. And there is another shoe rule —namely, that shoes should be frequently eased. Take your shoes and wet them soaking wet. Take a walk in them and let them dry on the feet. This will mold them to the form of the foot. And another thing. If the shoes feel hard and stiff, rub them with oil. Grease your shoes frequently if you want to have them comfortable. You must keep the leather soft and pliable. Stockings should fit the feet. There are too many pairs of ill-fitting stockings. And when the matter of shoes and stockings has been arranged there should come the question of heels. As soon as a woman feels old and tired she begins to wear low heels. She takes the "lifts" off her heels and she lets her step become laggy. Have your heels of good height. Preserve the arch of the foot. Don't let your feet grow flat. Try always to have trim, neat-looking shoes. These are excellent foot rules for any woman. Now, about the walk. There is an English instructor who gives these rules for "walking young:" "To walk young, walk erect. Bring the abdomen in. Throw the chest out. Take long steps. Place the feet at right angles or as nearly so as you can. Lift the chin. Throw back the head. Raise the eyes. Breathe deeply. And don't mince." How to Treat Gloves This is the proper way to treat a glove: When you spy a tiny hole mend it without delay, that it may not increase in size. Mend it on the inside of the glove with fine cotton of the same color as the kid. Do not use silk, for it soon wears out. Never break off your cotton, but cut it, so as not to draw your stitches too tightly and make the seam hard and uneven. When sewing a split in a finger seam insert a finger into the glove and draw the edges together so that they meet and that is all; a ridge would not only be uncomfortable, but would look unsightly. When a glove is too small and slits it is worse than useless to sew up the rent; it must be patched. The patch must be of kid of the same color. To Help the Eyebrows Paint your eyebrows every night with a camel's hair brush dipped in sweet oil. Warm the oil, but do not heat it. If you prefer, use vaseline slightly warmed. Do not use much oil, but just enough to lubricate the eyebrows. A HANDY WATCH-STAND. This Ornamental and Useful Article Will Answer the Vexed Question of Where to Lay Time-Piece. This is a pretty little ornament, and useful at the same time. It consists of cardboard covered with silk, that for the front being worked with a design of ribbon embroidery, the half of which is shown in No. 2. Very sount cardboard should be used, and for the NO. 1. WATCH STAND. front it must be cut four and one half inches deep and three and one half inches wide. The silk for front must be cut an inch larger all round; this is worked with the embroidery design, the half of which is shown in No. 2. The design along the lower edge is merely a repetition of the center part 260 NO.2. EMBROIDERY DESIGN. of side. China ribbon and silk are used for the embroidery. Cover the face of the card with a layer of soft wadding, then lay the embroidered silk over this, turn the edges to the back of card, notch them so that they may lie flat, then fix with glue or seccotine. Cover the back with a piece of plain silk or sateen; a piece of very thick card or wood must next be cut, as shown, to form a support to the back; this should also be covered, and must be firmly glued to the back. A piece of wood will be the best thing for the foundation upon which to place the stand; this should be covered with silk, and the lower edge of stand and support glued, or sewn by the silk. THE FRESH AIR TONIC. For the Woman with a Mottled or Dingy Skin the Following Is Written and Should Be Observed. Fresh air is a superlative tonic in the promotion of beauty. Many a woman's mottled complexion is due to the vitiated atmosphere she breathes. For one reason or another, she gets very little of the fresh air tonic. She comes to notice a slight dinginess creeping over the natural clearness of her face. Forthwith she wonders what she is using that is spoiling the texture of the skin. She tried another kind of soap and changes the brand of her cold cream. But her complexion keeps right on gathering a shadowy hue. True, she isn't feeling very well—just a little languid. She tells herself "that tired feeling" means that all the cure she needs is "rest." She doesn't mistrust that this lassitude is a physical hint that she needs fresh air tonic in order to keep the muscles elastic, to invigorate circulation of the blood, to stimulate the skin. When any of these physical conditions begins to lose tone the complexion pays the penalty. When the dinginess is ever so slight, the fresh air tonic should be taken without delay. A walk of a mile or two provides fresh air and exercise. The face should not be covered with a veil. A cool wind is a first-rate stimulant for the skin. The walk should take place every day and a longer distance should be covered, gradually. The fresh air tonic may be taken in a heated room with the windows open. The walk may be taken up and down the room with a variation in swinging the arms and practicing high steps. Moreover, the woman with a dingy or mottled complexion should sleep in a room in which there is a circulation of fresh air. Fashionable Comb The fashionable comb is the high Spanish one and the most attractive are those made in the shape of a fan. To carry the similitude further the leaves and sticks of the fan are imitated in carvings or inlays of gold or silver with jeweled bars to separate each panel. So delicate and fine is some of the carving that it suggests lace. Short Dresses. Paris is preaching long skirts, but American women eling persistently to walking length, giving in only so far as to bring out a new length that just touches all round. The simpler of the dresses, though, will cling to the present length—an inch to an inch and a half from the ground. FOR SUNDAY READING MY TRUST IS IN THEE. Along the stony path and steep, Through danger and dismay; Through cheery sunlight, and through Through cheery sunlight, and through shade. From dawn until the end of day— Be Thine, O Lord, the hand that leads! When grief liles chill upon the heart; When reason faint, in sick' ning doubt; When all my soul is racked with strife, Much fiercer than the storms without— Be Thine, O Lord, the love that soothes! When on that silent voyage I start— Where strongest earthly strength must fail— Lest in the storm of night I slink, Lest o'er my bark the waves prevall— Be Thine, O Lord, the strength that saves! -R. Horatto Hardin, in Northwestern Christian Advocate. A FAILURE IN LIFE. Such Can Be Said of Those Who Fail to Follow the High Ideals of Christ Life. William E. Russell once said: "There is an everlasting difference between making a life and making a living." Most men are so busy making a living that they do next to nothing about making a life. Character is not so much to them as cheese and chocolate. If they can secure for themselves or for their families a little distinction by means of wealth or power or place, they are quite ready to sacrifice everything else to these objects. And to cherish a forgiving spirit, to become more like Christ, to conform their conduct to the pattern shown them in the Son of Man, is not for them the passionate desire or cherished aim it ought to be. It requires but the omission of a single letter to make a brother a bother. If the names in the Lamb's Book of Life were taken from the church register, and included all that are found there, some of us perhaps would not be eager to go to Heaven. Nevertheless we must be long-suffering with our brethren, and we must be ever ready to forgive. We have to take our friends as they are, and not as we might wish them to be. If they are offensive to us, it is quite likely that we are equally offensive to them because of peculiarities of temperament or talents. Dissatisfaction with others may be caused quite as much by too great satisfaction with ourselves as by any inherent defect or sin in those with whom we are dissatisfied. The first beatitude is pronounced upon the poor in spirit; and conceit or pride or vanity, or any other form of selfishness which leads one to exalt oneself at the expense of others, is foreign to the reign of the meek and lowly one. Rest of soul for others as well as for oneself can only be gained by those whose shoes keep 'close to the Lord Jesus. If Canon Farrar is right in saying that "there is only one failure in life, and that is not to be true to the best that one knows," then we are failing to reach the end for which God made us if we do not strive to follow Christ—to forgive others even as He forgave Peter, James and John, and even Judas, nay, even those who crucified Him.—Rev. George S. Payson, D. D., in N. Y. Observer. DANGER OF "RESTING." How a Young Girl Lost Her Spirituality as She Neglected Christian Work. A young girl who had been very active in Christian work, decided that she would "take a rest for awhile." She did so, and soon found herself losing her interest in spiritual matters. When she realized her condition she immediately entered into active Christian work again and thus renewed her spiritual life. An unoccupied room in a house becomes the "catch all" for all the rubbish of the household. Worthless things are stored there, dust and dirt collect and poisonous insects hold sway. Thus it is with our Christian life. We cannot let ourselves "take a rest" even for a little while, for the world is ever near with its tempting sights and sounds to unmake us, and before we are aware of it has filled our lives with poisoned rubbish. GATHERED FRUIT The man who is too proud to undo a wrong act cannot be trusted to do a good one. There are too many promising people about. They promise six times more than they fulfill. For whoever would be fairer, illumination must begin in the soul. The face catches the glow only from that side.—William C. Gannett. If you desire Heaven, you must win it; for Heaven is a temper, not a place. . . You must win it by that obedience to God's laws which nothing but the grace of Christ can enable you to render.—Archdeacon Farrar. God hides some ideal in every human life. At some time in our life we feel a trembling, fearful longing to do some good thing. Life finds its noblest spring of excellence in this hidden impulse to do our best.—Robert Collyer. Cultivating the fruits of the spirit—love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, meekness, patience, temperance—which are the different departments of the kingdom, is the most needed work in the world.—Mary McA. Tuttle. Oh, it is great, and there is no other greatness, to make one nook of God's creation more fruitful, better, more worthy of God; to make some human heart a little wiser, manlier, happier—more blessed, less accursed.—Thomas Carlyle.

Newcomb, of the District of Columbia Bar, has compiled statistics showing that 5,174,718 depositors in savings banks of six eastern states are directly interested in the joint ownership of $442,354,098 of steam railroad securities, that insurance companies doing business in Massachusetts hold $845,889,038 of steam railroad stocks and bonds, and 74 educational institutions depend on $47,468,327 invested in similar securities for a portion of their income. Other fiduciary institutions own enough railroad securities to bring such holdings up to more than a billion and a half dollars, about one-sixth of the entire capital invested in railroad property. These investments represent the savings of the masses, there being twenty million holders of life insurance policies in the country, as many more of fire insurance policies, and an even greater number of depositors in banking and trust institutions, where investments are largely in railroad securities.

St. Louis, Mia. Oil Neuralgia GREAT MEDICINE DRINGS HEALTH TO THREE MEMBERS OF SAME FAMILY. Cures a Wife's Debility After Malaria, a Husband's Rheumatism, a Daughter's Nervous Prostration. "I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to many people," said Mrs. Gosset, "because I have seen such good results, time after time, right in my own family. There are three of us who have no doubt about their merits. We do not need to take anybody's word on the subject for our own experience has taught us how well they deserve praise. "It was just about ten years ago that I first read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and bought my first box. I was at that time all run down, weak, nervous and without ambition. I had been doctoring all summer for malaria and stomach trouble. Everybody thought I was going into consumption, as my mother had died of that disease. "Thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I am now alive and hearty. I began to improve as soon as I began to take them, and when I had taken three boxes I was a well woman. Everyone wonders how I keep so well and am able to care for my home and six children without help. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills explain it. "My oldest girl's health began to fall when she was about fourteen. She was nervous, complained of sharp pains in her head, would get deathly sick and have to leave the school room to get fresh air to revive her. I gave some pills to her. She took only a few boxes, but they cured her troubles, and caused her to develop in a perfect picture of health. Then my husband took them for rheumatism and found that they would cure that too. So you see we have all got great good from using them, and that is why we recommend them to others." Mrs. Minnie B. Gossett lives at Ulrichville, Tuscarawas Co., Ohio, and is well known, as she has resided in the same neighborhood for more than thirteen years. Her story shows that a medicine which makes the blood sound and the nerves strong, overcomes a variety of diseases and should be found in every household. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists everywhere. They have cured anaemia, and all forms of weakness, also the most stubborn cases of dyspepsia and rheumatism. They are indispensable for growing girls. NOTED BY NATURALISTS The raccoon plunges all its food into water before eating it. Granite is the only common rock which shows no traces of either animal or vegetable life. Among fish, the sunfish, basking charks and dolphins all swim with their eyes above the surface of the water. African travelers say that the white rhinoceros frequently dies from eating poisonous plants, which are never eaten by the black one. Tulips are so sensitive to the light that they will often close their petals during a dull day, and remain shut up until the sunlight returns. Opals often fall from their settings because they expand with heat more than other precious stones, and, consequently, force open the gold which holds them in place. Wet weather may be expected when swallows fly low, because then the insects which the swallows pursue in their flight are flying low to escape the moisture of the upper regions of the atmosphere. Quite Enough. Editor—What's the matter with the shoe dealer who just went out? Business Manager—Something wrong in his advertisement. "What was it?" "Well, he says he wrote 'Our shoes speak for themselves,' and in the paper it says, 'Our shoes squeak for themselves,' that's all." - Yonkers Statesman. CHILDREN AFFECTED By Mother's Food and Drink. Many babies have been launched into life with constitutions weakened by disease taken in with their mother's milk. Mothers cannot be too careful as to the food they use while nursing their babes. The experience of a Kansas City mother is a case in point: "I was a great coffee drinker from a child, and thought I could not eat a meal without it. But I found at last it was doing me harm. For years I had been troubled with dizziness, spots before my eyes and pain in my heart, to which was added, two years ago, a chronic sour stomach. The baby was born 7 months ago, and almost from the beginning, it, too, suffered from sour stomach. She was taking it from me!" "In my distress I consulted a friend of more experience than mine, and she told me to quit coffee, that coffee did not make good milk. I have since ascertained that it really dries up the milk." "So, I quit coffee, and tried tea and at last cocoa. But they did not agree with me. Then I turned to Postum Coffee with the happiest results. It proved to be the very thing I needed. It not only agreed perfectly with baby and myself, but it increased the flow of my milk. My husband then quit coffee and used Postum, quickly got well of the dyspepsia with which he had been troubled. I no longer suffer from the dizziness, mind spells, pain in my heart or sour stomach. Postum has cured them. "Now we all drink Postum, from my husband to my seven-months'-old baby. It has proved to be the best hot drink we have ever used. We would not give up Postum for the best coffee we ever drank." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Get the little book "The Road to Wallville" in each pkg. THE RAISING OF LAZARUS Sunday School Lesson for April 9, 1905 Specially Prepared for This Paper. LESSON TEXT.—John 11:32:45; Memory verses, 33-36. Read all of the chapter. GOLDEN TEXT.—"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life."—John 11:26. TIME.—January or February, A. D. 30. About three months after last Sunday's lesson, and about two months before Jesus' crucifixion. PLACE.—The message of Lazarus' sickness came to Jesus while He was at Bethabra in Perea, beyond Jordan, where John had baptized Him. (Compare John 10:40 with 1:28.) Lazarus' home was in Beth- ah, on the Mount of Olives, near Jerusalem. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES.—The resurrection: John 11; 5:21-29; 6:39, 44; 14:19; Rom. 8:10, 11; 1 Cor. 15, 6:14; 2 Cor. 4:14; 5:1-5; 1 Thes. 4:14-17; Phil. 3:21; 2 Tilm. 12; Its Moral Application: Rom. 6:4-14; 12; Cor. 4:10, 11; Col. 2:12; 1 Pet. 3:18-21; 2 Tilm. 8:11, 12. V. 7. "Then said Jesus unto them again." Interpreting and applying and making plainer the parable He had spoken and which they did not understand. "I am the door of the sheep." The door symbolizes the means of entrance, by which the flock can get into the fold, with its safety, shelter, food and care. Compare the narrow way and strait gate of Matt. 7: 14. V. 8. "All that ever came before Me." Claiming to be the Messiah, the Deliverer and to give to the sheep an entrance to the fold and all that a true shepherd gives. "Are thieves." Who gain their booty by craft. "And robbers." Who gain their booty by force, suggesting organized bands. "Those two monosyllables express the precisely accurate contrarities of right character in the two great offices of the church—those of bishop and pastor. V. 9. "By Me." The true Shepherd and Messiah. The door symbolizes protection. "If any man enter in." By accepting me as his Messiah, Teacher, Saviour and King. "He shall be saved." One use of a door is to shut out thieves and enemies of every kind. "And shall go in and out." The door symbolized a means of going out as well as coming in. It is a sign and a means of liberty. We must go in to learn to trust, to rest, to think, before we can go out to do good to others, or to learn best the outer world, and make outward things a part of the kingdom. And the going in will avail us little unless we go out, and put into action what we learn within. V. 10. "I am come that they might have life . . . abundantly." Jesus does for His disciples what the shepherd cannot do for his sheep. He gives life, eternal life to them. He feeds and inspires this life more and more. V. 11. "Giveth His life for the sheep." Jesus, the son of God, came from Heaven to save men. His whole life was given for the sheep. Then he died on the cross to make atonement for them, bearing their sins on the cross. V. 12. "But he that is an hireling." "The shepherd in the east is usually the owner or the son of the owner of the flock, though sometimes an agent, whose salary is a fixed proportion of the produce, as Jacob under Laban. The hireling is a man who happens to be hired for fixed wages, merely for the day, and has no further interest in the flock."—Canon Tristram. V. 14. "I . . . know My sheep." An oriental shepherd has a name for each of his sheep, as we have for horses and dogs, "even in a flock of hundreds or thousands." "It might be well for the class, if there are any Christians in it, to pause here and have a little experience-meeting, each one telling how and when and where the Shepherd found him. One of the most interesting ministers' meetings that I ever attended had for its topic the question, 'How the Saviour found me.' The Saviour was the same, and the result was the same; but what a difference there was in the process of finding!"—H. C. Trumbull. V. 16. "And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold." The Gentiles, who were not in the kingdom of God, but would be brought in as members of the church He was soon to found. "They shall hear My voice:" They will listen to the gospel, and to the voice of God in their souls, and accept His invitations, and become the sheep of His flock. "And there shall be one fold." "Better, 'one flock' (R. V.); no one exclusive inclusion of an outward church—but one flock, all knowing the one shepherd and known of him."—Alford, "And one flock because one shepherd; not one in creed, or organization, or method of worship, but one in Jesus Christ."—Abbott. V. 17. "Therefore doth my Father love Me:" Because He was in such sympathy with His father that He was willing to die to carry out His saving purpose. "That I might take it again." The taking His life again was essential to salvation. Otherwise He would have ceased to be the Good Shepherd. V. 18. "No man taketh it from Me." "Two points are insisted on; (1) that the Death is entirely voluntary; (2) that both Death and Resurrection are in accordance with a commission received from the Father."—Camb. Bible. Figs and Thistles whether he knows or not. "Joy cometh in the morning"—not after the night's dissipation. When you see a man with a big sign of a saint, don't trust him with a cent. The religion that makes you feel like fighting your brother never came from your Father. Some people think the road to Heaven is a switch-back where they need the descent into sin to give the impetus for the rise into glory—Ham's Horn. English soldier's quibble. A soldier charged in an English court with giving a false answer in enlisting, in that he denied serving "his majesty" before, whereas he had been dismissed from the service in disgrace, pleaded in defense that he had not served his majesty then, but her majesty, Queen Victoria. The magistrate said that was "a disgraceful quibble," and gave the culprit double the usual sentence. Clever Evasion. "Exactly how old are you, an' way?" asked a friend of Lillian Russell. "I have a friend," replied the actress, with apparent irrelevance, "who was born in midocean on an ocean steamer. After she and her mother had landed, the steamer, on its return trip, blew up, so, practically, she has no birthplace. My age is like that," she added, after a pause. Hounds in frane There is on record the story of the widow of a famous master of fox-hounds, to whom it was suggested that her hounds might hunt in crape. But her friend, Chief Justice Tindal, interposed with the assurance that that was unnecessary seeing that the hounds would at once be in "full cry!" Sausage Output A trade journal has estimated, after much figuring, that the annual output of link sausage in this country amounts to more than 400,000,000 yards, or 227,272 miles. This is enough to extend around the world nine times at the equator—but sausage will not keep at the equator. Work of an India Monsoon When a monsoon burst at Lucknow not long ago gutters and ditches were flooded, shoals of fishes being afterwards found in the water. They were, presumably, sucked up at sea by the fierce wind, and showered down over the city. Deepest Lake During a survey of the Scottish lakes, a depth of 1,017 feet has been reached in Loch Moray.

Hadn't you heard?" —Chicago Tribune. In London Cabs. A man with lots of time on his hands has figured that $25,000,000 is spent on cabs in London each year. He further figures that over $7,000,000 of this amount is for tips and over-charges. In China a man cannot by will dispose of his land in favor of any one person, whether relative or stranger; it must be distributed among all his male children without exception.

Concealed Burglar Surrendered When the Music Lessons Took Effect. A burglar who entered a Harlem house suffered a unique form of punishment. It happened, says the New York Press, that the family he had come to rob were inconveniently early risers, and before he had half finished his work he heard a step on the stairs. Quickly gathering up his booty, he slipped behind the piano, to intend to make good his escape as soon as opportunity presented. But opportunity did not offer, for it appeared that the step he had heard was that of one of the daughters of the house, who had come down to the parlor for a couple of hours' practice before breakfast. When she had finished another daughter was standing ready to occupy the stock for another two hours. Next followed the music lessons of each of the young ladies in turn. After these lessons were over their brother's viotic, the teacher had set himself at the piano, began his accompaniment. But this was too much. The burglar rushed from his hiding place "For heaven's sake have me arrested!" he has "At least there are no pianos in jail." What Everybody Says. Stop Suffering Like That!

It was the strain of lifting that brought on kidney trouble and weakened my back, but since using Doan's ney Pills did me a lot of good, and if it were not true I would not recommend them. It was the strain of lifting that brought on kidney trouble and weakened my back, but since using Doan's Kidney Pills I have lifted 600 pounds and felt no bad effects.

She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. — Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass.

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ill to a woman — a woman whose experience with woman's diseases covers a great many years. You can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man—besides a man does not understand—simply because he is a man. Following we publish two letters from a woman who accepted this invitation. Note the result. First letter. "Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "For eight years I have suffered something terrible every month with my periods. The pains are excruciating and I can hardly stand them. My doctor says I have ovarian and womb trouble, and I must go through an operation if I want to get well. I do not want to submit to it if I can possibly help it. Please tell me what to do. I hope you can relieve me."-Mrs. Mary Dumick, 59th and Capitol St., Benning P.O., Washington, D.C. Second letter. 'Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "After following carefully your advice, and taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I am very anxious to send you their value and what you have done for me." SOUTHERN CONDITIONS AND POSSIBILITIES. In no part of the United States has there been such wonderful Commercial, Industrial and Agricultural development as along the lines of the railroads, the highways and the railroad Valley Railroads in the States of Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana, within the past ten years. Cities and towns have doubled their population. Splendid business blocks have been erected. Farm lands have more than doubled in size. The number of new homes established and as a result there is an unprecedented demand for Day Laborers, Skilled Workmen, and especially Farm Tenants. Parties with small capital seeking an opportunity to purchase a farm home; farmers who would prefer to rent for a couple of years before purchasing; and day laborers in fields or factories should address a postal card to Mr. J. F. Merry, Asst. General Passenger Agent, Dubuque, IA. In the matter concerning the territory above described, and give specific replies to all inquiries.

ATTACKS THOSE WHO SERVE.” ‘There seems to be little doubt that many of the dangers which menace the welfare of the Negro race rests with In its own racial lines. The would-be self assumed leaders who sell their own manhood and sacrifice the honor of their race in hope of personal gain are always and will ever be a hinder- ance and danger to the stability of the nation. A few days ago W. P- Curtis announced himself as a candidate for member of the board of education. The mere announcement of Mr. Curtis’ can- didacy scarcely attracted passing no- tice, for he represented no one but himself, and his candidacy might have been well looked upon as a bid for cheap advertisement, had he not taken advantage of the opportunity to vilify and assail the character of those mem- bers of his race who work for a living. In his famous interview with the Post-Dispatch, the aspiring Mr. Cur- tis flagrantly protested that coachmen, barbers, cooks and other Negroes of the serving class should be considered are questions pertaining to the race's welfare. Since time immemorial chroni- clers of political economy and framers of national destiny have taught the purity of the proceeds of honest labor and the dignity of honorable toil. The great leaders of our race have ever sought to teach the Negro that his in- trinsic value as a citizen and nation depended wholly upon the important pendant of labor. Things have in- deed reached a dangerous stage when the cook,barber, coachman and servant girl must be held up in ridicule by a “Mushroom Leader” who finds conso- lation in a free advertisement which berates the sons and daughters of hon- est toil. Many an intelligent Negro man and woman seeking an honorable living, have not the pleasure of chosing their preference on life's uncertain sea. Some may be cooks, others coachmen, oth- ers barbers and still others janitors, but does it necessarily follow that they ‘have not the interest of their race, and the advancement of their children at heart, or that they are to be ridiculed en account of their position. Many a Colored girl while following her hum- ble trade as cook is keeping from the almshouse an aged or invalid parent. Many a ccachman, barber and janitor is going quietly along minding his own business, educating his family and thus elevating the mental and moral stand- ard of his race. Mr, Curtis belongs to that element of “Mushroom Leaders” who are always seeking to represent something or somebody at any cost. “ONE WHO KNOWS.” Watch the Palladium. W.P.CURTIS Attacks the Janitor, Coachman, Barber and Cook. Not the Proper Element, Says He, to Judge Race’s Needs. The Post-Dispatch of March 9 con- tained an article from Mr. W. P. Cur- tis, announcing his candidacy for mem- ber of the board of education. The mere candidacy of Mr. Curtis attracted no particular notice or enthusiasm, but the article within itself was the most sarcastic and flagrant insult ever flung into the teeth of the Negroes of St. Louis. Mr. Curtis (in his Post- Dispatch article of March 9) pleads the incompetency and ignorance of those members of his race who work for a living. He especially cites the ae ome fh Cae iS Nj LE THE MYSTERIOUS LADY, She Is the One who Furnishes Us In- formation in Letters—One who Knows. public to the cook, barber, coachman and janitor as being unfit to judge the needs of the race. Plainly does he say: “There are other Negroes in St. Louis besides the serving class.” Are these words of courage? Are JUST OPENED. RAILROAD HOME COOHING. Come and see us. ‘Try our First-Class Up-to- Date Meais and Lunches, served ‘avall hours BOARD BY DAY OR WEEK. Simpson Ford,Prop, William Ford, Mgr. 2315 Market Street, ST. LOUIS, MO. these the sentiments of a reformer? Is the Negro press to sit silently by and swallow so palpable an insult? Twice have we interviewed the Post-Dispatch staff in order that no mistake might be made, and on each oceasion have we been assured that the article of March 9 was from Mr. Curtis verbatim. The duty of the press is to protect the weak and condemn the evil. These are duties more potent to our racial wel- fare than all others. If Mr. Curtis is innocent let him call upon the Post- Dispatch for retraction, for there are laws which will protect the innocent victim from the wanton attacks of a malicious publication. The com- munity is not large enough for the man who assails honest men and women on account oftheir menial positions, and the public would welcome his de- parture. By berating, ridiculing ‘and holding up the cooks, barbers, coach- men and janitors of his race as hu- man inferiorities Mr. Curtis sought to foist his putrid candidacy upon the public as the representative of the Negroes of St. Louis. The Negro needs leaders, men of strong minds, men of high character, but he is not to be hampered by aspiring knights who will weigh upon us like a millstone at our neck. Aunt Mary, the cook, must be respected even in her less im- portant position. The barber, janitor and coachman are all as important in their particular sphere as is Mr. Cur- tis. Because onr less fortunate brothers and sisters have not attained the stars of perfection does it follew that they are to be shoved aside in the consideration of racial affairs, or that they are not interestedheart andsoul.in the welfare of their race? Isay without fear that had it not been for the bar- ber, coachman, janitor and others of the serving class, including Aunt Mary, the cook, the precocious Mr. Curtis might be earning bis living in a differ- ent manner. Since the begining of time schemers rich in wort+ weak in wisdom and wanting in ideas, come and go to electrify fools, and win the confidenceof ninnies. The manofgenius subdues his pride, men of high charac- ter avoid a brazen show of intellect, for the great aim af a just govern- ment and true men is to spread a shield over the rights of all. Mr. Cur- tis will in time learn thé lesson of con- servatism. He will Jearn that agita- tion and insults flung into the face of honest labor finds no merit. He aust learn the grand idea of humanity, of the importance of man as man Even the most abject portions of human- ity are visited by some dreams of a beter condition for which they were designed. The multitude is rising from the dust. Once we heard of a few, now we hear of many. Once of the prerogatives of a part, now of the rights of all. ‘The cook, barber, coach- man and janitor is of us, and among us. There have been servants since the creation of time, and so shall they continue. They are as important to our national welfare as is the skilled attorney, the able physician or accom- plished teacher. Mr. Curtis will learn that the world was made for all, and not for a few; that no human being shall perish except from his own fault. ‘These propositions are growing into axioms, and the spirit of them is com- ing forth in all departments of life.
