Talty, defeated republican candidate for mayor, following the other defeated republican candidates, yesterday took the initial step in instituting a contest against Mayor Wells. Notice of the contest was given to the sheriff yesterday afternoon, to be served upon the mayor, which is necessary to be done before the filling of the contest. A deputy sheriff was assigned to serve the notice on Mayor Wells, but he was attending the funeral of Judge Amos M. Thayer, and the service was postponed. The papers in five of the other contests by republicans, which were given to the sheriff Wednesday for service of notice, were filed in the circuit clerk's office yesterday.

LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1905. THE ATLANTA INDEPENDENT Speaks Again for George E. Temple. It is with much pleasure that the St. Louis Palladium reprints a complimentary item that appeared in the Atlanta Independent, the greatest Negro paper in the beautiful southland. This wonderful paper is edited by the fearless and forceful writer, B. J. Davis, who is destined to be the greatest writer of his race. We predict that at some future day he will fill the chair of editor and manager of the Odd Fellows' Journal, the official organ of the G. U. O. of O. F. of the United States and jurisdiction. Mr. Davis holds many positions of honor and trust among his people in Georgit. Though yet a young man his pen has already put him in the "A" class of Negro writers. The following is what he had to say in the issue of his paper bearing date of April 22: "The Independent joins the St. Louis Palladium and Advance in congratulating both the Hon. Geo. E. Temple, and the city of St. Louis, Mo., on the re-appointment of Mr. Temple as clerk in the water department of the great city. The Independent is a firm believer in the reward of merit and character. We know Mr. Temple personally, and are associated with him as member of the S. C. M. G. U. O. O. F., America, and know his high character and sterling worth. Temple knows only to do his duty. In church, society, and politics, he is a well-known quantity, and his invaluable services are appreciated and rewarded. Commissioner Adkins performed a public service when he rose above partisan politics and reappointed Mr. Temple-Mr. Temple possesses every quality of a leader, though modest and unassuming. As a member of the S. C. M. he has no peer as a student of the conditions and principles of the order. George, as he is popularly known by the board, finds no problem too intricate for solution, and we often relieve ourselves by giving him the most knotty questions up for settlement. Brother Temple's friends throughout the country are pressing him for successor to the inimitable J. McHenry Jones. If it pleases the order to give Mr. Temple this much deserved promotion, there will be no mistake made. The order needs this day at its head more of a business man than an orator. The erection of the office building and raising of the money to be effective, it will take business and not oratory. Temple is a business man, pure and simple, and deals with men and affairs in the practical, and not the abstract. There is nothing that could have forced his re-appointment in democratic St. Louis except superior merit, character and business. Though unassuming and becoming modest, he is making a record that will tell in the summons visible and tangible. 12TH ANNUAL BALL Of the Caterers' World's Fair Club at Masonic Temple Last Thursday Evening, April 27. A pleasant time was had last Thursday at the Caterer Waiters' club. It was late when we arrived but we were in time to see the grand march which was lead by Mr. Henry R. Taylor and his amiable daughter, Mrs. E. G. Hopson. In that march we had the pleasure of seeing some of the most beautiful dresses that we have looked upon for years. Here are a few of them: Miss Maud Ray, of 3523 Lucas avenue, blue silk. Mrs. Cole and daughter were tastefully dressed in silks, 3957 Finney avenue. Mrs. Harry Denny, of 1625 South Second street, silk. Mrs. Mamie O. Trice, of 622 North Beaumont street, fouled silk. Mrs. Henry R. Taylor, of 2657 Morgan street, black genadine silk. Mrs. E. G. Hopson, white mull. Mrs. W. B. Wallace, of 2715½ Mills street, satin and lace trimmings. Mrs Hattie Williams, of 1822 Morgan street, pink satin. Mrs. Buleah Pendleton, lavender organde with ribbons, 2226 Walnut street. Mrs. Rosa Woods, of 2227 Walnut street, crepe de chine. Lucia Robert, of 2825 Adams street, yellow satin. Lizzie Smith, of 1927 Market street, pink sat and lace. Mrs. Fred Williams, battenberg coat, red chiffon and pasamenterie, 2333 Market street. Mrs. G. Parker, white brocade silk, trimming white pearls, 5842 Plymouth avenue. Mrs. S. McNary, gray broad cloth. Mrs. Geo W. Holt was the center of attraction. Her dress was a dream, white satin and draped in chiffon and with the most costly diamonds. Her dress was made by Madame J. W. Wheeler, of 3047 Lawton avenue. Mrs. William Garting, pink chiffon. Miss Estel Hamilton, of 4137 Fairfax avenue, white French satin. The three Hyatt sisters were very tastefully dressed, 4026 Lucky street. Mrs. Josephine Wicks 3520 Lucas avenue, black silk. M. B. A GRAND AND DIGNIFIED WED- DING AT CENTRAL BAP- TIST CHURCH. Last Thursday night at 7:30, Mr. Washington Diggs, of Boston, Mass., and Miss Clara Morris, a rela- tive of Mrs. Dr. Stevenson, wife of pastor of Central Baptist church, were united in holy matrimony. It was one of the most pleasant and dignified marriages that has been in Central Baptist church for years. The bride entered the door leaning upon the arm of Mr. Wm. M. Farmer, followed by three lovely children. At the altar the groom approached his bride to be, facing Rev. Geo. E. Stevenson as they met.

After the marriage the bride and groom led the way out of the church in the same smiling and graceful manner. The march continued into the lecture room which was decorated in white, yellow and blue. On the table was refreshments for the bridal party, namely bride and groom. Dr. Stevenson and wife, Mr. Wm. M. Farmer and wife, Mr. Thompson, secretary of Y. M. C. A., Miss Cora Morris and the three little flower girls. Among the many persons present we must not fail to mention Dr. W. H. Mansifee and mother, Rev. R. H. Cole, Dr. T. A. Curtis, W. P. Curtis, Prof. Agee, C. K. Robinson, Mrs. Curry, August Barrow, Jordon Thompson and brother, Dr. Dandridge, Mr. and Mrs. Mc J. Sheppard, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Jenkins and hundreds of other ladies and gentlemen. At 9 o'clock the pastor informed the good people present that the bridal party would leave for their future home in Boston and would be pleased to shake the hands of the good people of St. Louis. Time prevented us from giving full details. Look! Here! There are many Negroes who have not respect enough to subscribe and pay for a Negro paper, although it defends their cause and gives them representation. In Memphis there are many homes in which Negro papers are unknown, yet these same Negroes are always whining, sitting around shedding crocodile tears as to how they are being treated. They will pay from 10 to 15 cents per week with great delight for papers that call them "coons" and "Negro cats," papers that think they are not fit for anything but to hew wood and draw water, papers that boldly declare in thunder tones that they are not published for the Negro, papers that will give whole columns to a Negro rapist and scarcely one line to a Negro author or Negro social affair. When will the Negro learn to discriminate? Subscribers failing to get their papers will not be exempted from payment of subscription on the ground that paper was not received.

ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES The little son of Mrs. Vincent, of 172 Marion street, fell off a lumber pile and the little fellow's face is much bruised. We hope that he will get his face together again. Mrs. N. Gibbs is up again. She did not go to Heaven so soon as she wanted to. She lives at 2713 Mills street. Perhaps the number 13 was the cause of her thinking that she would go so soon. Mrs. Phillips, 107 Center, has been afflicted with paralysis for the last three years on her right side. She bears her affliction with a Christian spirit, for she has a good husband who cares for her. Easter was stricly observed last Sunday at Antioch. The church was very nicely decorated. The pastor, Rev. S. P. Anderson, delivered a splendid dionaston at 11 a.m. to a large audience, and at the evening service a large congregation was out to witness the ordination of the following named brothers for deacons: Brothers Henry Douglass, Allen Tillman and William Weelker.

As the little ones received their countenances were so bright and they seemed so happy. The teachers felt that they were well paid for their trouble. The sacred concert given by the Antioch Missionary Circle, Thursday the 20th, was quite a success in spite of the very stormy night. A faithful few faced the weather and attended and spent a pleasant evening. The programme was fine. Many thanks to the friends that gave us their assistance. The net proceeds were about $15.

Their Resignations Transmitted to the Secretary of the Interior and Promptly Accepted. Washington, April 20.—Nine of the ten pension examiners constituting the board of review were separated from the government service Wednesday. Commissioner of Pensions Warner transmitted the nine resignations to Secretary Hitchcock, with the recommendation that they be accepted, and Mr. Hitchcock took the desired action without delay. The resigned examiners assert that representation was made to them, purporting to come from the commissioner, that, should they hand in their resignations, matters would be relieved and restorations would be made at some date in the near future. Commissioner Warner, however, made no such representation to the secretary of the interior. The difficulty involving the board of review was its approval of several pensions to applicants, whose only claim was enlistment in a Pennsylvania and a New Jersey regiment of volunteers for service in the civil war, but the services of whom never were availed of by the government. BARRETT TO BE RECALLED. The Administration Dissatisfied With the Course of Our Minister to Panama. Washington, April 20.—United States Minister Barrett, in Panama, will shortly be recalled. Whether he will be appointed to some new post or be dropped is not known. It is understood, however, the administration is much dissatisfied with his mismanagement of affairs on the isthmus. One reason for this is disclosed in the installment of advance sheets of "Foreign Relation for 1904," which shows that August 23 last, when the relations between Panama and the United States were in critical condition on account of the objection of Panama to the establishments of ports and the opening of post offices in the canal zone, Barrett reported to the state department that the minister of foreign affairs of Panama preferred that negotiations toward a settlement be continued in Panama, and he suggested that the Panama minister in Washington be advised in that sense. On the very day that Barrett sent this communication to the state department he had received a note saying that it was deemed best to "await discussion of the main question in Washington before continuing further the discussion in Panama." SEC. TAFT WILL VISIT TOKIO. He Will Make the Trip While His Steamer is Taking on Coal at Yokohama. Washington, April 20.—On further consideration of the matter as laid before him by Secretary Hioki of the Japanese legation, Secretary Taft has concluded to visit Tokio, while his ship, the Manchuria, on which he will make his Philippine trip, is coaling at Yokohama. The secretary has made such a visit on the occasion of other like detentions at Yokohama, and feels that he could scarcely fail to make an official call on this occasion. It has not yet been decided whether the entire party of 60 accompanying the secretary shall join him in the visit to Tokio. IT HAS SERVED ITS PURPOSE. "The Crowning Outrage of the Age" May Be Repealed by the Florida Legislature. Tallahassee, Fla., April 20.—The state senate has passed a bill repealing the Flagler divorce law. This law made insanity grounds for divorce, and under it Millionaire Flagler secured a divorce and remarried. In the course of debate, Senator Bailey referred to the divorce bill as "the crowning outrage of the age." Ever since the bill was enacted it has been an issue in city, county and state politics. TOOK EIGHT DAYS TO DECIDE. B. L. Pettigrew Must Serve Time for Killing a Man Who Interfered in Love Affair. Memphis, Tenn., April 20.—After being out eight days, the jury returned a verdict of guilty against B. L. Pettigrew, the slayer of Joe Hall, fixing his punishment at five years in the penitentiary. The killing occurred at Collierville, Pettigrew charging Hall with interfering with his love affairs by writing Miss Lavins, of Vicksburg, Miss, that Pettigrew was a married man. Kelsey Rosn's Granddaughter. Fort Madison, Ia., April 20.—Mrs. Rachel J. Wilson Albright, aged 82 years, died at her home here. She was born in Philadelphia, and came to this city in 1841. She was the granddaughter of Kelsey Rosa, who it is said, made the first American flag. Standard Hits Bed Rock. Emporia, Kas., April 20—The Standard Oil Co. has cut its price here on oil a half cent, making the wholesale price nine cents. The Webster company, which charges ten cents, says it will make no further reduction. Bankers Staggered by Revelations in the Bigelow Case. The Defaulting Bank President Now Confesses to Indebtedness of Three Millions. Milwaukee, Wis., April 28.—The revelations as to the system of Frank G. Bigelow in conducting large affairs are such as to stagger the belief of bankers, to whom method in such transactions is as a second nature. The defaulting bank president has confessed an indebtedness to banks, commercial institutions and estates of which he had charge which will aggregate between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000, and, based on his confession, a voluntary petition in bankruptcy has been filed in the United States district court which contains the names of as many of Bigelow's creditors as he can remember, together with a list of assets on which Bigelow's valuation is $1,119,000. By his own admission his creditors extend all over the United States. One estate has been looted, his indebtedness to the Broadhead heirs being $100,000. The debt is unsecured. It is also believed other trusts held by the former banker have suffered. Those familiar with the situation and with what information they can glean from the former banker, fear his liabilities will run up to considerably more than his present estimate, as they believe subsequent revelations will uncover transactions of even a more startling nature. The revised schedules show a total liability on the part of Mr. Bigelow of $2,777,000, of which $1,975,000 is wholly or in part secured. Of the remainder, $1,100,000 is a secondary liability on notes and bills, discounts in which Bigelow figures as indorser. It is reported that Bigelow is heavily indebted to several well-known Milwaukeeans, whose names do not appear in the schedules. CARNEGIE'S GIFT TO HOSPITAL Sixteen Thousand Dollars to Endow Two Rooms for His Wife and Daughter. Pittsburg, Pa., April 28.—Andrew Carnegie has donated $16,000 to the Columbia hospital now building at Wilkinsburg.

Wilder, of Kansas City, Mo., is alleged to have shot his wife, the ball entering near the left eye and penetrating the brain. After the shooting, Wilder blew out his own brains. A RIGHT REGAL DONATION. Andrew Carnegie Gives Ten Millions in Steel Stocks to Provide Annuities for College Teachers. New York, April 28.—A gift of $10,000,000 by Andrew Carnegie to provide annuities for college professors who are not able to continue in active service was announced Thursday by Frank A. Vanderlip, vice-president of the National City Bank of New York. Professors in the United States, Canada and Newfoundland will share in the distribution of the income of the fund. KANSAS OIL REFINERY BONDS Gov. Hoch Favors Turning Them Into the Permanent School Fund of the State. Topeka, Kas., April 28.—The state bonds for the Kansas Oil refinery will not be sold direct to the people to the highest bidder. Gov. Hoch has announced he is in favor of turning them into the permanent school fund of the state. This disposition will probably be made. The school fund has at present more than the $210,000 required to take up the bonds. NAGROWLY ESCAPED DEATH. Fire in the Colorado Fuel&Iron Co.'s Mine at Picton, Col.-Several Men Overcome. Trinidad, Col., April 28.—Fire broke out in the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co.'s mines at Picton, shortly before noon Thursday. A number of miners narrowly escaped death, several being overcome by smoke.

MISSOURI STATE GLEANINGS. MISSOURI CROP BULLETIN. Temperature Cold and Unseasonable -Hail and Wind Damage Fruit Trees-Cereals Looking Well. Columbia, Mo., April 25.—The United States department of agriculture, climate and crop bulletin of the weather bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending April 24, 1905, says: The past week was cold and unseasonable throughout the state, freezing temperatures occurring in all sections. Precipitation was below normal, except in a few extreme southeastern counties and a few extreme north-central counties. Thunderstorms, accompanied by heavy hail and high wind, crossed the northern portion of the state on the 20th, resulting in considerable damage to fruit trees in some localities. The growth of vegetation was generally retarded by cool and unseasonable conditions. Oats, clover, gardens and pastures are in need of moisture and warmth. A general rain would be beneficial in all sections except a few counties mentioned in the foregoing. The lack of moisture is beginning to be seriously felt in all of the central, and most of the east-central counties. Corn planting was pushed in all parts of the state, and is now general except the extreme northern tier of counties; in some counties the work was completed. In a few localities corn had come to good stand and was cut down by frost, but as a rule the weather has been too cool and dry for rapid germination. Early potatoes are coming up, and in some localities were cut down by the freeze, although the damage was slight. Some cotton has been planted in New Madrid, Dunklin and Pemiscot counties. It was coming to good stand in Dunklin but was injured by frost. Wheat and rye generally look well, but moisture would be beneficial as a rule. Correspondents do not agree as to damage to fruit and berries by freeze during first part of the week. Many report that trees are still in full bloom and no dropping; others report that one-half of the crop is destroyed, and some say that not more than 20 per cent was injured. It appears that the greatest injury occurred in the central and south-central counties, and on low land, while fruit on high land was not seriously damaged. There is still a good prospect for peaches in some of the extreme southern counties, and apples were unhurt in the northern counties. Early strawberries were injured to some extent. An unidentified man was found on the street and taken to the St. Louis city hospital suffering from concussion of the brain, which injury he received by being held up by five men, who beat him over the head with a brick. He may die. "A New Broom Sweeps Clean." The rule in the St. Louis police manual which prohibits policemen in uniform entering saloons except to make arrests or to preserve the peace, and which has been ignored for years, is to be rigidly enforced by the new commissioners. Webb City Land Sells High. One hundred and sixty acres of prospective mineral land sold at Carthage for $100,000, or $625 an acre. The property adjoins Webb City, and the purchasers, represented by J. P. Newell, of Carthage, are New York capitalists. Jury Acquits Dorey Arthur Dorey, who killed Arthur Swift at the "Irish Village" last June, was acquitted of a charge of murder at Clayton. This clears the docket in St. Louis county of criminal cases resulting from the World's fair. Uncle Sam Investigating. The postal department, it is said, is unearthing substantial evidence against the American Mercantile association, the St. Joseph get-rich-quick concern. Poor Fellow! Hardee Kirkland, of the Odeon Stock Co., in St. Louis, was forced to play his part after receiving news of his mother's death because he had no understudy. New Town Named Folk. A new town in Osage county has been named Folk, in honor of Missouri's governor. It is a German community and is located on the Osage river. Church Quarrel Ends in Shooting. Following a quarrel over church affairs, Frank Pickel shot and seriously wounded Thomas Lawler north of Warrensburg. Pickel was arrested. No Confidence in Coroner's Verdict. Poisonous candy is thought to have caused the death of Mrs. Albertina Vey, who dropped dead in St. Louis, though the coroner's jury said apoplexy. Ended His Earthly Career. J. B. Griswell, of Tampa, Fla., despondent over his financial condition, committed suicide at the Lindell hotel in St. Louis with carbolic acid. Fifth Attempt Unsuccessful. Unrequited love caused Marle Juliff, of St. Louis, to swallow bicarbonate of mercury. She will recover. It was her fifth attempt at suicide. Church Out of Debt. Notes for $7,500 were burned by Rev.

Such a woman should wear a hat brought well forward, her hair should be as fluffy as possible, and a becoming veil will do wonders. Sharp outlines in hats should also be avolded by her. Lace edges and indented brims aré good. If the features are irregular a hat with the brim crushed here and there is usually a suitable setting. ‘The woman with a prominent nose has much to contend with. Her hats should avoid severeness in outline and should be set well forward, so that the prominent feature will appear a little less in size. On the other hand, the ‘woman with a small or flat nose should not wear a hat that projects sufficient: ly to make the nose appear even more insignificant, nor a large hat thal dwarfs it. A hat under medium fn size and with small flowers or short tips, of rows of moderate size shonld be worn. With a small face and features huge picture hats should never be worn, even if the figure be tall and slight enough to carry them.

A Little Talk by the Beauty Doctor on Health an Essential of Loveliness and Some Formulas. ‘The measurement of the ehest means far more than beauty. Om it depends ‘health. Sound lungs cannot dwell with- ‘ina narrow house, says the proverb. Work hard to bring your chest measure- ment to at least a fair average, and go ‘beyond this if you can. The woman of five feet three should have a chest of 28% inches at the least. For the consecutive added inches the chest measurements run as follows: 29%, 30%, 31%4, 32%, 33%. For the woman of five feet the chest should be 27 inches, and for the successive added inches the masures should be 27% and 28. ‘The facial measurements have their laws according to classic standards, but the world would be « monotonous one if all women were made in this pattern. ‘The tradition is that the span of open thumb and middle finger should reach from the tip of the chin to the top of the forehead. But don’t worry if you are saucily short-faced or if you differ from theclassicin many other ways. Let your beauty be your own. Stain for eyebrows: Twenty-five grammes gallnuts boiled half an hour in 150 grammes water; strain through an old handkerchief; add to the liquid ob- tained five grammes sulphate of iron. Boil away one-third of this and keep the remaining two-thirds to use with the sable pencil. One treatment may be enough for you, although it is usually given three times. Cork the bottle tight- ly, Peroxide of hydrogen used alone does not hurt the hair. Dip a tooth or scalp brush into it and apply to the roots. Quince seeds boiled in water makea good curling fluid. Use a complexion brush with a nightly hot-water and castile soap scrup for blackheads and large pores. Cologne and water, equal parts, occasionally used as a face wash is dry- ing. Hard massage and neck exercises will reduce the doble chin. For dandruff: Six ounces rosewater, one ounce tincture cantharides, one-half ounee glycerin, one drachm liquid am- monia, one-half drachm oil rosemary, one-half ounce ofl thyme. Rub into the scalp every night and massage after- ward. Egg shampoo: One pint hot water (soft water preferred), one ounce spirit rosemary, yolk of one egg. Beat and use while warm.

SEVEN POINTER FOR THE READING AND ADVERTISING PUBLIC. (1) THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fine subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. 69 That supposed poem which was published in the Advance last week on D. R. Francis or the World's Fair was stale brother—The World's Fair has been a thing of the past for five whole months. Twenty-Five Years Ago From the Scrapbook of the Palladium Man. As the St. Louis Republic has from time to time mentioned things that have happened twenty-five years ago, we thought we would reproduce a sermon which was preached twenty-five years ago by one of our late bishops, T. M. D. Ward. We will give every word as it was published. This sermon was preached on the 8th day of May, 1880, in the old St. Paul's chapel, which was then located on Eleventh street. It was the most famous and eloquent quadrennial sermon that ever fell from the lips of the eloquent bishop, Rt. Rev. T. M. D. Ward, of Atlanta, Ga. Who will be first to say: "I." Will be pleased to hear it. NEGRO FINED Gets 30 Days in the Work- House, Fined $150--Read a White Paper--Had Trouble with Collector. Perhaps the brother of Rev. J. H. Roberts, pastor of St. Paul Baptist church, wishes that he had never seen a white newspaper, and would be only too glad to subscribe for all the Negro papers in Memphis, if reports are true. This brother has been conducting a restaurant at the corner of Main and Jackson streets. He was a faithful reader of the white dailies, as Negro papers could not interest him. One day a Jewish collector called on him for pay; hot words ensued, and the Jew was put out, whereupon he was arrested. The case was called in the criminal court Tuesday: this brother was given a sentence of 30 days in the workhouse and a fine of $150. He now wishes that he had never seen a white newspaper—Exchange. A certain Negro said to us a few daws ago: "You ought to be silent on certain things, especially where professional men are concerned." We said: "To h—1 with professional man. I am a lively professional man, but a black professional villain is the same to me as a white villain." CITY NEWS. Notes and News Concerning Our People--Weekly Record of Social Events, Deaths, Marriages and Births--Written Especially for St. Louis Palladium. G. W. Woods, of Chicago, is still a very sick man. We hope for the best. Mr. C. Winston has removed from 5338 Bulware avenue to 711 Clarence avenue. Mrs. Anna Williams, of 2832 Adams street, is up and out again after a few days' illness. Prof. L. H. Patterson and family have moved from 4349 St. Ferdinand avenue to 4263 North Market street. Miss Nellie Beard, of 4034 Evans avenue, is quite sick from her own imprudence. This will teach her a lesson. Lyons' Cafe at 319 North Jefferson avenue is the place to get the innerman recuperated. Stop and be convinced. Mrs. Annie D. Hyatt, of 1421 Montrose avenue, is quite sick. She is Princess of Ebela Temple No. 31 of the S. M. T. Mr. Arthur Bolden left Tuesday the 25th for Canada for an indefinite length of time. His wife, Mrs. Era G. Bolden, will join him later on. Mr. Wm. P. Dyer will leave to-night for West Baden, Ind., in search of health. When in St. Louis he resides at 2801 Manchester avenue; at least he does business there. Mr. and Mrs. James A. Bray, of 2921 Howard street, will move into their own home, at 2741 Semple avenue, about the 6th of May. This is a good example. Who will follow? Mr. and Mrs. Levie Mansker, of 530 Garrison avenue, will soon remove to 2821 Adams street. Mrs. Mansker has been sick all winter. We hope she will now enjoy good health. * Mrs. Alice Jones, of 315 South Twenty-second street, is entertaining her friend, Miss Hattle Newell, of Greenville, Ill. Miss Newell is quite well known here and is always welcomely received. Mrs. James A. Bray, of 2021 Howard street, entertained at dinner last Sunday. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Tillman, Mrs. M. A. Lawrence and Miss Ella Williams. A very pleasant afternoon was spent. Mrs. Lizzie Locket, of 2307 Papin street, is a blushing widow, and while she is not in a hurry about being taken in, she wants to know the fellow. Of course, she is an up-to-date widow, and the man must be likewise, or there is no go. The business meeting of the Ladies' Auxiliary was held at the residence of Mrs. Jenne Harris, 2623 Papin street, at 2:30 o'clock, April 5. The ladies spent a very pleasant afternoon, and were very glad to have with them at their meeting the much-sought Mrs. M. Monroe and Mrs. M. E. Wallace. Where are you going? That's where.

The annual May festival for the benefit of the Teachers' Annuity association will be given at the old fair grounds on Saturday, May 27. The pupils of all of the public schools are busily engaged in rehearsing for the drills, choruses, etc., that will be some of the many attractions offered on that occasion. Handsome prizes will be offered in the competitive athletic games that will be participated in by the pupils of the several public schools. Every safeguard will be thrown around the children for their protection, and a most enjoyable time is expected. A large committee of teachers is managing the affair, Mr. E. S. Williams being the representative of the Colored schools on the committee. REV. R. H. BROWN. Rev. R. H. Brown, late pastor of the Pilgrim Baptist church, of this city, was, on March 25th last, called to the pastorate of the First Baptist church, of Pacific, Mo. Rev. Brown, by his energetic, thrifty and congenial habits, has gained for himself a standing in Missouri as a Baptist minister, and we predict for him a bright future. Since becoming identified with the ministers of this city, he has taken an active part in the deliberations of the Berean Association, and his manner of presenting and discussing the various subjects coming before that body, has made him a most desirable member and won for him a place on the executive board of the association. We expect great things in behalf of the Pacific church under such a leader. A DENIAL Of a Rumor, That is Being Circulated by The Agents of The Industrial Assn. A rumor is being circulated by the agents of the Industrial Benefit association, whose office is located over the Jefferson bank, that the Western Time association is backed by the Prudential association for the express purpose of soliciting members free in the industrial. I, as president of the Western Union, wish to inform the public that if any such assertion is being made by any, it is absolutely untrue and not worthy of belief. We are doing business, on strict and legitimate basis without the support of any company and I don't desire any assistance. We pay more benefits than either company mentioned and are looking after the interest of our own business. We will challenge any company to deny our rights as a corporation to do business, as they will find that we are prospering, and those who desire any information to know the truth of our business, whether we are in business or not can readily find out by writing to the secretary of the state at Jefferson City and find out all information concerning the company. We have two thousand and forty members and that is why some of these white companies think we are not incorporated and trying to make the Colored people believe it. We understand our affairs and know what to do, when to do, and try to do it, just as though we were a white company. The time is coming now when we as a Colored race must rely upon the integrity, qualification of our own race, and no longer look to the white man for help and information. We must now look and think for ourselves and we will never be successful in any pursuit of life until we shall show confidence in ourselves. Then we can do the same as a white man can under similar circumstances. If further information is needed concerning our standing, the same will be given by any one in our office over the People's Drug Store, Jefferson avenue and Morgan street. This company's purpose is to give Colored ladies and gentlemen employment to whom some white companies refuse to take them as a member saying, or denying them the privilege of working to earn an honest dollar. If there were more work for our young class of people, then there would not be so many idlers and dissipation among our people. All we want is a chance to show our ability, and that is what keeps most of the race question before the world today. We are trying to demonstrate our ability as being equal to that of a white man, and he knows it and does not want the public to know it. Hence the race question has come to be an issue. God won't be able to keep us back if we continue to strive. Respectfully Yours, E. H. TAYLOR, Pres. SAN ANTONIO & ARKANSAS PASS RAILWAY COMPANY One of the Best Lines South. 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, Giddings, Cameron, Luling, Rockport, Kennedy, Karnes City, Flocresville, Rockdale, Gonzales. You can pack up Sallie 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 advantage of the never-before-heard-of offer of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway and go to Texas. Just think! Only $15 a round trip to Texas. Quite often one makes his home in a place where the best of advantages are not offered him. The only way to remedy this 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. Why Manufacturers Should Consider Negro Publications. Manufacturers are spending annually a large amount of money creating a demand for their goods through advertising agents, who never entertain a Negro publication. Firstly, There are eleven millions of Negroes who are consumers; more than any other one race of people in America. Of this population we can safely say there are two million Negroes who read Negro Journals. This must be done from the fact, white Journals do not print the Negro side of race questions, and Negro papers are to the Negro what the German, the Italian, Polish, the Swedish, Hebrew and other papers are to the respective nationalities. To the point, to those who know there is no class of people who are actuated or convinced of the superiority of a product by the publicity given the same than the Afro-American, for instance the manufacturer of liquors, etc., can visit colored hotels and find the best goods on the market dispensed, and demanded, they are familiar with the best brands of goods. Secondly. They pay the price for the best advertised goods. If this is doubted by making inquiries of the Anglo-Saxon retail stores. Advertising agents overlook the Negro when placing advertisements, because he does not do the selling and the jobbing, but this is unfair because it is the consumer that forces business. We see no reason why legitimate colored publications should not receive some consideration from advertising agents, as there are many deserving ones. The manufacturer who considers the Negro publications in advance will find this a profitable and inexpensive field to campaign in. The Negro is a consumer in every field, and it would do no harm and much good to look in this field. We do not desire to arrogate to ourselves the knowledge of showing men who have succeeded in placing their goods before the public, thereby creating a wholesome demand for the same. But desire to show that the above people should be considered from a practical business point of THE PALLADIUM REACHES MORE HOMES THAN ALL OTHER RACE PAPERS PUBLISHED IN THE WEST AND IS UP TO DATE ON ALL MATTERS OF INTEREST.

Let the knockers knock as they will; We'll keep on working for our rights; Some time they'll forever be still. Let the kickers alone, let them have their day, For they only take up your time; Let them hire a hall and kick all they will, Because they live in their line. For kicking is in their line. Pass the knockers by, for they know it all. And your talking will do not good; Le them talk and kick as much as they can; They wouldn't help you if they could. Let the growlers growl and kick and knock; Let them talk themselves out of breath; Let them knock and howl and kick and Until they talk themselves to death. —George F. Williams. Duly Organized. Mt.

Smith, of this place, says that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith emphasizes her recommendation by the following experience: "My daughter was thirteen years old last November, and it is now two years since she was first taken with Crazy Spells that would last a week and would then pass off. In a month she would have the spells again. At these times she would eat very little, and was very yellow, even the whites of her eyes would be brown." The doctors gave us no encouragement, they all said they could not help her. After taking one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad spell. Of course, we continued the treatment until she had used in all about a dozen boxes, and we still give them to her occasionally, when she is not feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the best medicine for growing girls." Mothers should be so doing they may save their daughters much pain and sickness and ensure a healthy, happy future for them.

Willadsen, of Manning, Iowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — "I can truly say that you have saved my life, and I cannot express my gratitude to you in words. Mrs T.C.Willadsen "Before I wrote to you, telling you how I fall, I had doctored for over two years steady and spent lots of money on medicines besides, but if all failed to help me. My monthly periods had ceased and I suffered much pain, with faint spells, headache, backache and bearing-down pain, and I was so weak I could hardly keep around. As a flash resort I went to the hospital. E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I am so thankful that I did, for after following your instructions, which you sent me free of all charge, my monthly periods started. I am regular and in perfect health. Had it not been for you I would be in my grave to-day. "I sincerely trust that this letter may lead every suffering woman in the country to write you for help as I did." When women are troubled with irregular or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrhoea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, flatulence, general debility, indigestion and nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E, Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. No other female medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. Refuse all substitutes.

A sailing raft. fig. 184. fig. 183. In the spring time, when the snow and ice begin to melt and form ponds in shallow places and low ground, the boys are thinking of boats, rafts and other things with which to navigate these waterways caused by the spring freshets. It is not always easy to build a boat quickly, for it requires time to match joints and make them waterlight, as well as to construct a safe boat that will hold several boys. And then, perhaps, a boat could not be used at any other time of the year excepting when the thawing ice and spring rains make artificial or temporary ponds and lakes. For that reason a raft is the best to make, for it is always possible to get some logs or long pieces of heavy timber and lash them together to form a float. In the drawing of a simple raft, says the St. Louis Republic, the arrangement of four large logs is shown, with fig. 185 A simple raft. fig. 1. fig. 2. three smaller but longer ones lashed fast on top of them. The large logs can be eight or ten feet long and a foot thick. The upper ones are six or eight inches in diameter and 15 feet long. Before lashing the logs together it would be well to cut laps in the top of the lower logs and the under side of the upper ones, as shown in Fig. 1, and when they are brought together they will not roll and strain the lashings, as they would if left round. Clothesline, or rope about the same size, can be used for the binding and the rope should be crossed at the top of the log joint, as shown in Fig. 2, but not at the bottom. The top of the long logs can be planked over with some boards nailed down securely with long steel wire nails, and with the addition of three or four long stout poles to push the rattle about this crude boat will be ready for use, but care should be taken, however, not to overcrowd it, for down it will go. A larger and better raft is shown in the drawing of a sailing raft. DONALD'S LIE. Struggle Which a Little Boy Had to Get Sorry, and Why He Concluded He Was Not Ready for Heaven. Donald was very unhappy, and there was reason for it. Donald had told a lie to his mother, and he had been put to bed with only bread and milk for supper, and there were warm biscuits and honey for the others. Donald loved warm biscuits, and honey he adored. It seemed like a large-sized punishment. "Because," he said to Helen, who had slipped upstairs to comfort him a little, "it was such a tiny mite of a lie. I said I came right home from school, and I only stopped to play one mean little game of shinny, and I got beaten at that." "But it was a lie, just the same. Don." "Well. I don't care, anyway. It "GUESS I'D BETTER STAY AWHILE." wasn't big enough for put-to-bed and no-honey, both." Then he grew a bit confidential. "Say, Helen," he whispered. "What, Don?" "We come from Heaven in the first place, didn't we?" "Yes, Don." "Wei, I'm going to ask God to take me back again. I bet they'll play fair up there." "But, Donny, do you s'pose they'll take you back when you've just told a lie?" "I—I—dunno, Helen; maybe they won't. Guess I'd better stay awhile and get my soul cleaned up." "I think, if I were you, I'd be sorry a little bit, Don. A lie is worse'n most anything. Don't you remember that story about Anonymous and Sapphire!" "They got kilt by a lie, didn't they?" "Yes, Don." "Well, Helen, I guess I won't risk going to Heaven yet awhile. You go down and tell mamma to come up right off. I'm beginning to get sorry."—Boston Globe. The lower logs are 15 or 18 feet long and five cross logs are at least ten feet in length. They are lap cut, as shown in Fig. 1, and securely bound with rope and long spikes. Across the top logs, and running parallel with the under logs, four joists are made fast with spikes, on which a deck of boards is nailed. At one end of this deck a step bench is made, in which a mast will be held. This is 15 inches high, 24 inches long and ten inches wide, made as shown in Fig. 3. Two side angle boards are attached under the top board. A square sail can be rigged on this mast and a sprit will hold the loose top corner, while alc_g the foot the sail can be lashed to a beam and a single sheet rope will hold it. Of course, this sail will move the raft very slowly, but enough to feel it is going, and when you get to the end of the pond it will be necessary to pole the R sailing raft fig. 3. raft back again, for the sail will then be useless, as you cannot tack the same as you would in a boat. At the stern and across the two middle logs nail a stout piece of plank and to the middle of it attach a rudder made from two pieces of board, held between two uprights, to act as a rudder post. These are fastened together as shown in Fig. 4, and an opening near the top is formed by setting pieces of wood the thickness of the rudder blade boards between the two front strips and nailing them fast. A tiller can be cut from a piece of stick and the handle end planed at the edges to round them. When making log rafts for service in transporting the camp stores or lumber the St. Lawrence river men and others who are dependent on log rafts for transportation place the logs close together and bind them with ropes, as shown in Fig. 5; another tier of logs is lashed at right angles to the first lot, and so on until the raft is the desired height. FUN OF OUTDOOR STUDIES Fascination Which the Things of Nature Have for the Ob- A few years ago one of our village ladies became interested in birds, and older as well as young people followed in her wake, all eager to learn about birds, writes A. E. Pinney, in the Orange, Judd order as well as young people followed in her wake, all eager to learn about birds, writes A. E. Pinney, in the Orange Judd Farmer. The interest has never entirely flagged and there is a sort of bird revival every spring. I do not think she has ever regretted the movement. It was a move in the right direction. The children were happier, the birds were certainly happier, and the public library was better off for the call for nature books. What boy does not feel repaid for a day's toll, even though it may have been spent in the corn or potato field, if he has unearthed a choice or curious specimen of rock, an Indian arrowhead or rarer tool of the aborigines, or the bones of some prehistoric animal? These treasures are always found at unexpected times and places and many such treasures are the priceless souvenirs of little journeys and vacations. So it seems well worth while to teach the children to observe closely the wonders and beauties surrounding them on every side. There seems no end to nature study, and it is the best kind of a schoolroom for children. TELEGRAMS A Game Which Will Provide Lots of Fun at the Social Gather ering. Each one in the company must be supplied with paper and pencil and then you ask all together to suggest ten letters of the alphabet, which are then to be written down at the h a d of each one's sheet of paper in the order in which they were suggested. Now, the players must exercise their wits to make up a telegram of ten words beginning with the letters in the order given. After ten minutes or so call "Time's up," and gather up the papers. Display a prize for the one to be adjudged as best, and then read the telegrams aloud. Let the company decide which is best. Here are examples: Suppose the letters were A, L, W, K, B, E, T, O, G, H.

One Who Broke Down from Six Years of Overwork Tells How She Escaped Misery of Enforced Idleness. "I had been teaching in the city schools steadily for six years," said Miss James, whose recent return to the work from which she was driven by nervous collapse has attracted attention. "They were greatly overcrowded, especially in the primary department of which I had charge, and I had been doing the work of two teachers. The strain was too much for my nerves and two years ago the crisis came. "I was prostrated mentally and physically, sent in my resignation and never expected to be able to resume work. It seemed to me then that I was the most miserable woman on earth. I was tortured by nervous headaches, worn out by inability to sleep, and had so little blood that I was as white as chalk. "After my active life, it was hard to bear idleness, and terribly discouraging to keep paying out the savings of years for medicines which did me no good." "A bare chance and a lot of faith led me to a cure. After I had suffered for many months, and when I was on the very verge of despair, I happened to read an account of some cures effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The statements were so convincing that I somehow felt assured that these pills would help me. Most people, I think, buy only one box for a trial, but I purchased six boxes at once, and when I had used them up, I was indeed well and had no need of more medicine. "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills enriched my thin blood, gave me back my sleep, restored my appetite, gave me strength to walk long distances without fatigue, in fact freed me from all my numerous ailments. I have already taught for several months, and I cannot say enough in praise of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Miss Margaret M. James is now living at No. 123 Clay street, Dayton, Ohio. Many of her follow teachers have also used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and are enthusiastic about their merits. Sound digestion, strength, ambition, and cheerful spirits quickly follow their use. They are sold in every drug store in the world.

ANOTHER RECORD IN LAND-HUNTING This Spring’s Exodus to Canads Greater Than Ever, It was thought in 1903, when over forty-five thousand people went from the United States to Canada, that the limit of the yearly emigration to the wheat zone of the Continent had beer reached. But when in 1904 about at large a number of American citizens sigaified thelr intention of becoming settlers on Canadian lands, the gen- eral public were prepared for the an- nouncement of large numbers in 1905, No surprise therefore will be cause¢ when it Js made known that the pre- dictions of fully fifty thousand more in 1905 are warranted in the fact that the Spring movement Canadaward is greater than it has ever been, The special trains from Omaha, Chicago, 6t. Paul, Detroit, and other gateways, have been crowded, Many have gone to join friends and relatives who have prepared homes for them, and others have gone relying upon their own re- sources, satisfied that what others have done can also be done by them. This year much new territory has been opened up by the railroads, which are extending their main lines and throwing out branches in their march across the best grain and grazing lands on the Continent. This new territory has attractions for those de- siring to homestead on the one bun- dred and sixty acres granted each set- tler by the Canadian Government. Many also take advantage of the op- portunity to purchase lands at the low figures at which they are now being offered. It does not require much thought to convince one that if Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and other lands, with a value of from fifty to one hundred and fifty dollars an acre will give a good living by producing ten to thirteen bushels of wheat to the acre and thirty to fifty bushels of corn to the acre, the lands of Western Canada at seven to ten dollars an acre, produc- ing from twenty to thirty bushels of a superior wheat to the acre, should produce a competence to the ordinary farmer In a very few years. These are the facts as they confront the reader, There aro millions of acres of such land in Western Canada in addi- tion to the other millions that are con- sidered to be portion of the biggest and best ranges that ever invited the gattle and horse producer of the North American contiuent, What is particu- farly evident in Western Canada fs the fact that the wheat lands, adjoin- tng the grazing lands, make farming particularly agreeable and profitable, ‘The agents of the Canadian Govern- ment, who are always willing to give information and advice to intending settlers, say that the acreage put un- der crop this season is greatly in ex: cess of last season.

SA ee THE FINGERTON CHURCH. A Fable Which Illustrates the Need of Unity in Church Life. Once upon a time there was a church with five members. Mr. Pointer, in many things the leader among them, had aspecial gift for directing the course of others. Mr. Middleton was acknowl- edged to be the most powerful and prom- inent of the members. Mrs. Ring was a fashionable woman and much given te Ro a ad os hl LF Ie) owe I L) liege sy Ww Via S Ne =i) | j Yt ef aS Ce display. Miss Little, while lacking the prominence and position of the others, was useful in many ways. Lastly, Mr. Thumb, a man of independent mind. was a little inclined to separate himselt from the rest, and was often found in direct opposition to his brethren. For many years these five were to- gether in Fingerton church, and by long and hard experience they learned this truth: “All Must Work Together When Important Work Is on Hand."—Ram's Horn, “| RUBBED IT OUT.” How a Little Boy Was Led to Realize How God Blots Out Sin. ‘The mother, who is always the best theologian for a child, said to the boy: “Didn't I see you yesterday writing on vour slate?” “Yes,” he said. “Well, show it to me.” He brought his slate to his mother, who, holding it in front of him, said: “Where is what you wrote?” “Oh,” he said, “I rubbed it out.” “Well, where is it?” “Why, mother, I don’t know.” “But how could you put it away if if was really there?” wh, mother, I don’t know. I know it was there, and it is gone.” “Well,” she said, “that is what God meant when He said: ‘I will blot out thy transgressions.'”—G. Campbell Morgan. FOR THE QUIET HOUR. “If any man say that he has no sin, he deceiveth himself and the truth is not in him.” Attachment to Christ is the only secret of detachment from the world.—A. J. Gordon. It was the vision of the perfection of Christ which made me realize my own deep sinfulness.—G. Campbell Morgan.

One thing is clear to me, that no in- dulgence of passion destroys the spirit- ual nature so much as respectable self- ishness.—George Macdonald. No man ever lost anything in this world by attending properly to the next. Indeed, it is only by that means that we can understand or see this world aright. —James Hinton Do not try only-to abstain from sin, but strive, by God's grace, to gain the opposite grace.

To be humble is not to think meanly of one’s self. It is rather to have all thought of self cast out by the loving purpose to render to oth- | ers every possible service. God prom- ises us, in the Old Testament, that “he that exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself sball be exalteth.” It is a promise that we may see fulfilled every day it we but watch, and it is a promise that ever will be fulfilled. V. 4. “Riseth, laid aside, girded.” He arose from the table, laid aside His outer robe, drew up the inner tunic and fast- ened it with a towel, used instead of a girdle. V. 5. “Poureth water,” ete, Water was poured from a ewer (pitcher) upon the feet, and caught in the basin. “Began to wash.” To cleanse and refresh His disciples, to relieve their weariness. Je- sus seems to have washed the fect of one or more of the disciples when he was interrupted by the resistance of Peter. V. 6. “Dost thou wash my feet?” Peter feels that it is not fitting that He whom they call Master should perform a serv- ant’s task. V. 7. “Shalt know.” Jesus would shortly explain what He meant to teach (vs. 12-17), and ac, in future, they would receive more and more of Christ's Spirit they would understand more fully. V. 8. “Thou shalt never wash my feet.” Peter did not understand the spirit of Jesus to be that of loving service. “No part with me.” If Peter will not accept this, it will show that Jesus’ spirit of humility and self-sacrificing love ia lacking in his heart. One must be hum- ble to accept from another that which he recognizes is given at the other's self- sacrifice. V. 9. “Not my feet only.” Peter now understood that a spiritual significance was intended, and felt that his whole being needed to be cleansed. V. 10. “Is washed . . . wash his feet.” ‘Two words in theoriginal being here translated by the one word wash, ren- ders this confused. ‘The thought is: One who has bathed needs, after a walk in the dusty street, only to wash his feet and his cleansing his complete. So when Jesus has once cleansed our hearts from sin, the stain is gone forever, but we make daily mistakes, hence need every day to pray for His forgiving love to cleanse us anew. “Ye are clean, but not all.” The apostles, all except Judas, were saved men. Their hearts truly loved Jesus, V. 11. “Not allclean.” Judas had re- sisted Jesus’ every effort to make him a good man. V. 12, “Know ye?” If you want to un- derstand what I mean, listen and I will explain. V. 13. “Ye call me Master.” The apos- tles recognized Jesus’ superiority to themselves, and his authority to teach and direct them, V. 14. “Ye . .. one another’s feet.” All who follow me must show the same humble, self-sacrificing love toward one another. As we truly love another, we desire his highest good, and, in seeking it, we lay aside all thought and care for selfish interests. We will wash anoth- er's feet. by doing everything in our power to better his condition o1 poay, mind and spirit. He is greatest who serves most. Truly blessed are they who learn from Jesus the secret of true liv- aee:, ania ieee ES cee BR can Le ee a Save the Babies. NFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent, or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent, or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a mar Jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations, Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine, They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons, Tn any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must seo that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens tho pores of the skin and allays fever.

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. will receive a copy of At the same time a disposed may bring what branch of Africa has not been benefited itself of Bishop Turm courage, his loyalty, legiance? All present by May 12, and address D. Cook, D.D., 15 N avenue, St. Louis, M of that city has been the most appropriate celebration, since theference was the first bishop was a member was the place where and ordained to the. The celebration w 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 Leffingwell 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 John M.

Barnes, of 2614 Stoddard Street, Agent of the Palladium. We call special attention to our agent, Mr. M. Barnes, one of our most successful agents. It has been many years since his connection with the Palladium, and from the first day to the present time we have had the very highest regards and respect for him. He has been employed in the Missouri Safe Deposit Co. for twenty-one years. He has proven to be one of their trusted employees and his connection with the Central Baptist church for eleven years, and his attention to his Christian duties has won for him the admiration of the pastor and members the highest respect. Out of eleven years as a member of the church he has missed only two Sundays at the Sunday morning prayer meeting and other services of the church. Whenever there was a call for the members of the church Mr. Barnes was chosen as one of the leaders and always brought in the largest amount of money. He has been an officer of the church, and always won the respect and admiration of all. Our dealings with him have proved that a more truer man does not exist. He now sells from 35 to 50 papers every Saturday, and we ask for him the patronage of the good people of St. Louis.
