A Negro Traitor To His Race a Negro Brute, Unfit to Dwell Among Mankind, Nor to Be the Companion of Decent Dogs. A few days ago The Palladium man listened to a conversation between three men. One of them was a Negro detective, one the proprietor of a club room, and the other one a traitor, a man unworthy of the notice of mankind or decent dogs. We heard what the detective said, and what the proprietor of the club room said. He told the detective that he did not blame him for what he tried and did do. But this MAN, speaking of the third party, he said, tried three times to get something to drink, and he was denied, and told by the proprietor that no one could anything to drink unless he was a member of the club. At this the man said he was a member, but left his card at home. The proprietor said: "That may be, but you must have a card with you." At this the man said: "All right." A card was handed him with the secretary's name written thereon. He took the card and pretended to write his name on it. He then asked for a drink, which was given him. He paid for the same. At this the detective asked: "Did you pay for that?" He said: "Yes, and I am not a member of the club," and at this tore up the card and threw it on the floor. At this outrage on the part of this cur in the shape of a man, the proprietor and a number of hard-working men were arrested, and caused to rest in the calaboose all night. We ask this question: "Is this what the people of St. Louis are paying the detective force for?" We want to know if it is a part of the duty of the police and the detective force to decoy and persuade men to break the law under false persuasion, and then arrest them and other good citizens who happen to be in there at that time. We do not believe it, and we hope that Judge Moore will look at this matter, and if the detectives have gone so far out of their duty as to cause such a disgrace upon the detective force, that he will recommend that such detectives be dismissed; and the dirty dog that acted should be put in the pen for ten years. A BUSINESS MEETING. The business meeting of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Waiters' association was entertained by Mrs. Mary Monroe at her residence, 2645 Lasalle street, May 3, at 2:30 p. m., Mrs. Annie E. Hallam, president, presiding. After one-half hour's devotion to fancy work, the meeting was called to order for business. It was indeed unusual to be so pleasantly interrupted at intervals during our business session with a delicious glass of refreshing lemonade. Then at the close of the meeting the ladies were asked to remain and accept a saucer of berries with cream and cake, which was delightfully received and partaken of. The ladies were glad to have Mrs. Josie Wilson back with them after her sad trip to attend the funeral of her little boy, Oscar Wilson, at Memphis, Tenn. TWO ADULT MEMBERS. Two adult numbers have been organized already up-to-date with two juvenile numbers near completion. The two last meetings of this week which on Tuesday and Wednesday night was quite a record-breaker in every particular. Several new members received on the last night, namely Mrs. Lucy Harvey, Mrs. Bryant, Matte Anderson and Miss Clara Parks, Rev. Abram W. John and Rev. Wm. W. Patton. Supreme grand master, was present and presided over each meeting. The Richard Allen Lodge No. 1, and the Carter's Pride Chamber No. 1 are preparing for their annual installation and confirmation exercises which will be on the 23rd inst. VISITORS FROM CHICAGO. Mrs. Essie L. Smith, of Chicago, Ill., daughter of Rev. S. P. Anderson, pastor of Antioch Baptist church, and Mrs. Yancy, also of Chicago, paid a flying visit to St. Louis on Sunday the 7th st. and stopped with Mr. and Mrs. Bailey, 2708 Lawton avenue. Mrs. Smith came down to witness the installation services of her father as pastor of Antioch Baptist church. The reverend was more than agreeably surprised to see his daughter, who had but recently recovered from a very severe spell of sickness. Mrs. Smith and her friend, Mrs. Yancy, left for home, Monday night, 11:30 p. m. over the Wabash railroad. FOR SALE—At The Palladium office, one trunk.

ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES At the special services held at the Antioch Baptist church on last Sunday, May 8, Rev. S. P. Anderson was, in the midst of most auspicious surroundings duly installed pastor of said church. While the installation proper did not take place until 2:30 p. m., a foretaste of what might be expected was given at the morning service in a well-selected and very applicable sermon delivered by Rev. Wm. Gray, of Chicago, Ill. Subject, "The Duty of the Church to Its Pastor.' Text, I Cor., 16:10; and the events of the day were befittingly closed at the evening service by an equally well-selected sermon delivered by the same speaker. Subject, "The Willing Church." Text, 110th Psalm, third verse. Rev. G. E. Stevens, D. D., pastor of the Central Baptist church, delivered the installation sermon. The sermon was a masterly effort, replete with wholesome logic and sound reasoning, and it was delivered in a way that reached the understanding of all present. Text, Romans 10:14. It might well be said that the effort was a fitting crown for the events of the hour. INSTALLATION PROGRAMME. Opening hymn, "All Hail the Power of Jesus" Name ..... Rev. D. Johnson Prayer ..... Rev.

He was young, and just entering into manhood, being only 21 years, 7 months and 8 days of age. He leaves a mother, two brothers, a sister and many friends to mourn his loss. He told his mother while sick that he was praying all he knew how, and also that the Lord would bless her and his brothers and sister. He also told her that he was willing to die. The minister, in his sermon, advised the young people to seek the kingdom of Heaven, as now was the accepted time. He also said that now many young people were called to untimely graves.

Tell Me Who Your Company Is and I Will Know What You Are. Last Sunday about twenty Negro men and girls were standing on Lawton and Jefferson avenues, on the northwest corner. We saw two of the girls on Lawton avenue stop and talk to one of the hounds. We waited to speak to the girl, and asked her why she stopped and talked on the corner? She simply said: Because "I wanted to." This at once stamped the girl as one of the common herd. "Birds of a feather flock together." The Demand of the Age. This will be the subject of an address to be delivered by Mr. W. H. Davis, at the Epworth League, Elliot avenue and Wash street, Wednesday, May 17, 1905. --- Wm. A. Thomas ... 1314 Clark ave.

Some of these times the owner of such rigs will see his coachman, and he will be called down. The occupants will then be exposed. We thought that the girls on Lawton avenue were civilized, but we find that they are half-civilized. God save us from the common herd. Subscribe for The Palladium. W. T.

Missouri Mules Not Wanted. Officials of the isthmian canal commission denied the report that 10,000 Missouri mules were to be purchased for use in connection with the canal work. They declared that so far they had not considered the purchase of more than a dozen mules, all of these to be used by the sanitary department to haul disinfecting wagons and assist in the cleansing of the isthmus. Col. Edwards said to-day: "Understand, the canal is not going to be dug with teams and scrapers, but when we get down to business we will rake five feet of earth off a section of land every few minutes. Mr. Shontz says the dirt is going to fly on the isthmus, and it can't fly if we use mule teams and scrapers instead of great 100-ton digging machines." Took All the Blame. Investigation by state auditors into an alleged shortage in the funds of the Middleton bank revealed a note signed by Cashier Lewis, in which, referring to Assistant Cashier Warner, Lewis wrote: "You must not accuse Mr. Warner of wrecking this bank. He had nothing to do with it. I did it all myself.—E. H. Lewis." The note was found in Lewis' private box. The police have been searching for Lewis since April 24, but have not found a clew. The auditors state that $62,000 is missing. Must Wait for President. Secretary Hitchcock, of the interior department, is holding up the order abolishing the land offices at Boonville and Fronton until the return of the president. He has approved the recommendation of the commissioner of the general land office, however, consolidating these offices with the office at Springfield and transferring all of the business of the two districts to Springfield. The president must make the final order abolishing the offices. Monett Wants The Normal. At a mass meeting at Monett, called by the Commercial club for the purpose of taking action in landing the new state normal school, an executive committee was appointed, consisting of Mayor Durnill, F. A. Wightman, Judge John Ford, J. J. Davis and F. P. Siser, and given full power to act. It will invite the state committee to come to Monett and look the field over. Salvation Blocks Streets. Mayor Lyon, of Joplin, has instructed Marshal Myers to order the Salvation Army off Main street Saturday night, on account of the crowds and Maj. J. G. Galley of the army for this division, defies the order by announcing that the Saturday night meetings will continue, and that he will go to jail if need be in fighting the question, as he has done before in other cities. Joplin May Get Mining Congress. Joplin is practically assured of the American Mining congress for 1906, unless something unforeseen arises to change the situation. Many voters are already pledged to favor Joplin when the question of next year's location comes up at the session of 1905, to be held in El Paso, Tex., in August. Will Straighten Chariton River. The farmers of Macon county, owning land in the Chariton river bottoms, voted to issue bonds to the amount of almost $100,000 for the immediate construction of a great drainage ditch nine miles in length and large enough to divert the course of and straighten the Chariton river.

He had brooded over the death of his wife and brother until he lost his reason. 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, Floresville, Rockdale, Gonzales. You can pack up Sailie 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 SANTONIO & 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 Arkansas 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.

SEVEN POINTERS FOR THE READING AND ADVERTISING (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 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 Republiccan party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. 69 Our World's Fair Chairman, D. R. Francis, was told by the deputy sheriff not to read newspapers in Judge Hough's court room, for it was against the decorum of the court. Now, we would like our Baptist reporter, A. W. Washington, to give us a piece of poetry on that subject, and see if the rights of our World's fair chairman have been denied him by Deputy Noonan of that court room. The little patent sheet called the American Eagle did not make its appearance last week—causes we can't tell. But she comes to the front this week in a new form, glittering with old ideas and back advertisements. Oh, the old man is all right when he is in BED. The "Dirty Dozen" must go. We will give the names of these rascals. Some of them are bootblacks, some rounders, some pimps of the deepest dye, some pretend to work in respectable families out west. At any rate, this "Dirty Dozen" must go. The Burlington route is considered the best northwest, and the very low rates to all points in California and the northwest continue daily until May 15, 1904. Don't fail to take advantage of this. See their timetables. The Big Four (Baltimore & Ohio route) is the railroad that is envied by all the railroads that come in contact with it. The officers are by nature cut out for railroad men. Some person sent an article signed E. Humphrey. If something is not sent to pay the printer we can not print the matter. So please comply.—[Manager. If you wish to go to Washington or any points on the Big Four route, you will see the most beautiful landscape and scenery that your eyes ever looked upon. The Frisco System is among the best railroad systems in this country. We advise those who wish to go touring to try this road. We hope soon to take a flying trip to Louisville, Ky. The Chief Guest at a Magnificent Banquet Given By the Iroquoise Club. Chicago, May 12.—Honoring and honored by his political foes, but personal friends, President Roosevelt, Wednesday night, was the chief guest at a magnificent banquet tendered him by the Iroquois club, the leading democratic organization of Illinois. Surrounded by men who have fought against him in two national campaigns, who deprecate many of his avowed policies, and who have frowned upon some of his political actions, the president was cheered to the echo as he entered and left the banquet hall; was applauded with enthusiasm throughout his address, and at its close, and was given to understand that in his case political differences were not a personal issue. The President's Response. Mr. President, Mr. Toastmaster, and you, my hosts: I very deeply appreciate the honor of being your guest and the guest of the city of Chicago here this evening, and, in looking at the possibilities of the future, let me add that I have not the least anticipation of Chicago's ever revising that most complimentary vote which I so deeply appreciated last year, because it will never have the chance. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. The president dwelt upon the necessity of the party system under our form of government, urging that men might honestly differ and be none the less good Americans; our politics and our differences, however, should disappear at the water's edge. Much enthusiasm was evoked when reference was made to the Panama canal, which the president declared was going to be dug honestly and as cheaply as is compatible with efficiency; and when he referred to the fact that two Illinois men—Shonts and Wallace—had measured up to his standard of the kind of men needed there was great applause. The Mob Shall Not Rule. The Mob shall Not Rule. "This government is not and never shall be the government of plutocracy. This government is not and never shall be the government of a mob. [Great applause.] I believe in corporations. They are indispensible instruments of our modern industrialism; but I believe that they should be so supervised and regulated that they should act for the interest of the community as a whole. Also, I believe in unions. I am proud of the fact that I am an honorary member of one union; but I believe that the union, like the individual, must be kept to a strict accountability to the power of the law. "Mayor Dunne, as president of the United States, and therefore as the representative of the people of this country, I give you, as a matter of course, my hearty support in upholding the law, in putting down violence, whether by a mob or by an individual. [Cheers, with many standing waving handkerchiefs, napkins, etc.] And there need not be the slightest apprehension in the hearts of the most timid that ever the mob spirit will trilumph in this country [Cheers.] Those immediately responsible for dealing with the trouble must, as I know you feel, exhaust every effort in so dealing with it before call is made upon any outside body. [Applause.] But if ever the need arises, back of the city stands the state, and back of the state stands the nation." Outburst of Enthusiasm. Rarely before in this city has such genuine enthusiasm been evoked, as was wakened by the president at the conclusion of his speech. As he announced the fact that behind the state the nation would stand for the preservation of order in Chicago, wild cheers and the vigorous clapping of hands interrupted him for several minutes. When he brought his address to a close his auditors shouted, cheered and waved their napkins in approval. Dozens of the guests mounted chairs and shouted until they were hoarse. Some of them, carried away with enthusiasm, jumped upon the tables, heedless of linen and china and glassware and sent forth cheer after cheer. Mayor Dunne, profoundly moved by the words of the president, sprang from his seat and grasped the president's hand, which he shook vigorously while he expressed his gratitude. The Hall Rang With Applause. The Hall Rang With Applause. For fully ten minutes the hall rang with the applause, while both democrats and republicans gathered around the president to offer their congratulations on his speech. Smiling and bowing in response to the congratulations showered upon him, the president, attended by President Gunther and the members of the reception committee of the club, slowly made his way from the hall to his rooms to prepare for his departure from this city. NEXT ANNUAL MEETING Of the National Negro Business League. The next annual meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held in the palm garden of the Central palace, New York city, August 16, 17 and 18, 1905. It is not, perhaps, saying too much to state that this meeting will bring together one of the largest and most representative bodies of Colored people that has ever assembled in this country, and the present plan of the officers not only embraces the bringing together of a large representation of Colored business men and women from the United States, but from the West Indian island and other foreign countries as well. Great preparations are already under way on the part of the New York Local Business League for the reception and entertainment of the delegates. Aside from the business that will be attended to at the meetings, the social features of the gathering are to be made very prominent, and it is the hope that the male delegates will not only be present themselves in large numbers, but that they will bring their wives with them. Since the last meeting in Indianapolis about twenty local leagues have been organized in various parts of the country. The total number of local leagues is now considerably more than one hundred, besides a number of state organizations. The national organizer, Mr. Fred R. Moore, 181 Pearl street, New York city, is very anxious to keep in touch with all local leagues, and to lend his services wherever needed in forming new local organizations. The strongest and most successful business men and women, picked from different parts of the country, will have a place upon the programme. JOTTINGS. Look at the ad of Sam Schneider, 2628 Olive street, one of the best in St. Louis. An anti-race suicide club has been organized at Laporte, Ind., with the stork as an emblem. The flat has gone forth that the costumes of the summer girls at the eastern resorts must be of one hue, from stocks to stockings. For sale at the office of the St. Louis Palladium, all the goods that are manufactured by the Boston Chemical Co., at Richmond, Va. The name of ex-President Cleveland is the latest mentioned in connection with the presidency of the Equitable Life Assurance society. Capt. George W. Kirkman will be retried by court-martial at Fort Niobara, Neb. Much more sensational testimony is expected. At the recent battleship speed test it was found that not one of the vessels was prepared for sustained high speed without suffering damage. Attorneys for a saloon keeper contend the excise commissioner of St. Louis has no right to revoke a license, acting as judge, jury and prosecutor. Jennie Hill, a domestic, aged 39, shot herself twice in the temple at the Missouri Baptist sanitarium in St. Louis. She died immediately after the last shot. A central office of the New England Anti-Union Employers' association has been established in Boston. The object is to drive the unions out of business. The Italian government is interceding for the life of Mrs. Anna Valentina, under sentence to be hanged, Friday, at Trenton, N. J., for the murder of Rose Salza. Yes, Mr. Wm. Dye, A. A. Brooks and J. P. Watkins have nice places of business—Dye, 2801 Manchester avenue; A. A. Brooks, 2326 Market street, and J. P. Watkins, 2645 Lawton avenue. Mrs. Susian E. Gross, millinery of 2609 Pine street, is holding her own. Negro ladies and gentlemen should patronize a worthy lady. She how your race stands. Theodore J, Shaffer has announced that he will not be a candidate for reelection to the presidency of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Tin and Steel Workers. For using the mails to defraud, Charles W. Thompson was sentenced to a year and a day in the Missouri penitentiary in the United States court at St. Louis. A blood-stalned Knights of Pythias sword was found on the sidewalk in Chicago, at night, and the police are hunting for the owner and the one who lost the blood. Judge Rogers, in sentencing a Chinese to the penitentiary, in the United States court in St. Louis, made a request of the warden of the penitentiary not to disturb the prisoner's queue. It is estimated that it will cost each person accompanying Secretary Taft's official party to the Philippines about $50 a week for necessary expenses. The government only furnishes transportation. A. B. THE STAR FURNISHED ROOT MAN Rooms like Home, Sweet, Sweet Home 705.707-709 North Fourteenth Street Branches: 1406-1408-1128½-1430 Linden Street H. C. CURTIS, Prop. Monroe Motley, Albert Hale, Night Clerk WHY NOT READ NEGRO PAPER? We again call the attention of the public to the fact that, a little learning and a few hundred dollars are the cause of a number of our race going to the lunatic asylum. . . Not one Negro in ten can tell why a Negro, Irish, French, German, Italian, Jew or any other weekly paper is published. We have stated time and again that these papers are printed for the purpose of getting the news among that particular people or race, and not for the general news of the world. Yet you will find a number of Negroes with their pockets full of white newspapers. Ask him about the news concerning his race, he can tell you absolutely nothing, and he knows less about the news of the world. This same Negro will say, "When I read a Negro paper, I see things in that paper that I read in the white papers." This at once shows his ignorance of Negro papers. We are confident that in every Negro paper that is published by Negro men, the editor tries to advance the news of the Negro race, and they do to a great extent. If the Negroes want to see the ill-doings of their race pointed out, let them read a white paper, and no good will they find for the Negro. Only some huge article that is printed for the purpose of obtaining Negro subscribers to that paper. Let the Negro of the United States support their own papers and they will get the news of all their race of people. Furnished room for rent, at 3951 Finney Av. for man and wife. Mrs. M. Sydnor. A Hint to the Wise. It is just as well to stop school if the girls have boys coming from 6 to 10 o'clock at night. Mothers that let their girls go where they please, when they are away from home. Time will bring sorrow. Books and boys do not go together. Girls or young ladies who are on the street two and three hours after night will, some day, shed tears. Mothers and girls that spend hours at other people's houses. There is something wrong. Young ladies are judged by the company they keep. For reasons see farther. NOTICE.

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. You are requested to report by letter or postal card.—Exchange. From now on we will adopt the above rule. We have had this same 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.

The entire cost of the whole course is $10. Any person who succeeds in forming a class of ten will be given an especial reduction of $5. "Fine feathers make fine birds" is quite an old adage. Have your face and hair in order and your appearance is attractive in general. If you want Aunt Hagar's children to know that you are doing business, advertise in The Palladium. It speaks for itself.

THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY This is a model church in St. Louis—Big Zion—of which Dr. Holland is pastor.

The St. Louis Palladium, City: Gentlemen—A long-felt necessity destined to go—namely, the anxious seat of mercy. In all times the need of this article has been felt by all applicants, sincere applicants. Zacheus sought it in the tree, Bartemeus by the roadside, the Greeks at the gate of the temple. And, as I said before, all sincere applicants have felt the necessity of presenting his or her individual case himself at some designated place. Still, this smart set, whose mouth must be stopped, tell us that long-felt necessity in all times past must be extricated. They say a sinner can't pray. Admit, for the sake of argument, that he can't. What is the benefit to be derived from his deprivation or restraint from the great privilege of trying? It is an instinct in every individual to believe that he can pray if he wants. Since all of us did pray that received anything, since all of us believed that we was materially helped by our effort, why abolish the instrument through which we have sought and found the pearl of great price? Saul prayed before the scales fell from his eyes, too. It was told to Ananias that he prayed, and he was blind yet, and he had been in direct communication with Jesus of Nazareth. The interval between belief and unbelief is so quick, so brief, indescribably brief, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. We are not ready for the eradication of the anxious seat, without protestation. E. HUMPHREY. Something About Our Advertisers. A visit From Hon. W. T. Scott, of Springfield. We will again call the attention of our readers to some of the tailors. Sam, the Tailor, your friend, who is undoubtedly one of the best in St. Louis. All the people go to him to have him make their summer suits. 204 North Fourteenth street. We have Sam Schneider, of unquestionable reputation as a man's friend, who will clothe you new. Don't forget to go to Sam Schneider, 2628 Olive street. Then we have Mr. Harvey H. Davis, proprietor of The Alcove, where you can readily get a night-cap and an eye-opener, morning and evening. 2032 Market street. Mr. George Williams is holding his own well. 715 North Twelfth street. Likewise Charles Harris has opened a clubhouse at 2014 Walnut street, and is doing a wonderful business. Hugh B. White, George W. Holt, Samuel Leonard, E. L. Arnett, Dick Kent, Steve Smith, Charles Narcise and W. T. Curtis' are places where you can get night-caps and eye-opener, and if you fail to get the eye-opener, send your friends to A. Russell, W. C. Gordon, Harrison & McKoin, where you can get an overcoat that will last you until doom's day. Should you desire any meats, go to L. T. Ford, 1315 Clark avenue; Maurer & Bro., 1402 Market street, and 8 South Jefferson avenue, and Theodore Temple, 2601 Market street. They will supply you in every want. Then, if your hair should get kinky and tangled, go to Madame Irving, True Reformers' hall, or Mrs. J. H. Clark's, 4251 Sacramento avenue. Then, if you should happen to want a first-class dress made, go to Madame Wheeler, 3004 Lawton avenue, and Mrs. Burnes', 2320 Wash street. Oh, yes, there's the man, Lee, the laundryman; he knows what the ladies need, and he comes around regularly once a week.

A visit From Hon. W. T. Scott, of Springfield. Some weeks ago our agent was in East St. Louis, and because he was canvassing for a republican paper he was compelled to leave that village. He reported to the manager that Mr. Scott caused him to leave that village. Upon this report we wrote to Mr. Scott, but we did not receive any answer from him, so we paid our respects to him through the columns of The Palladium. He now comes forward and says that he was not in East St. Louis at that time, and we had nothing to do with our agent. We are sorry indeed if we have in any way injured Mr. Scott, and, if we have, we recall what we said in The Palladium, and ask to be forgiven for our hasty actions. MANAGER WHEELER Will be paid for any advertisement that appears in The Palladium (75 in all), which does not pay monthly for the same. The Palladium carries from 75 to 80 ads., ranging from 40 cents to $2.25 per month. If any person does not believe it, let him single out one that does not pay us or our agent, and we will pay $5 for their activity. The Palladium manager edits the ad. column with a blue pencil. The editress edits the paper with her brain, and that which does not suit her taste goes in the waste basket, or she sends back to the writer, marked "Too stale; it is not up to date. You will miss a treat if you fail to go over the Frisco System. The cars are beautiful, and it is pleasant to look upon the scenery along that line to the Golden Gate of California. E. J. Crane & Co., of 122 West Broad street, of Richmond, Va., have retired from business. Five Dollars. Father's Fastest Horse Took Them in Time to Swing on Train. Mr. Willie Diggs and Miss Bessie Crawford, of 707 North Fourteenth street, made a flying trip to Columbia, Mo., to see his dear mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Burl Diggs, whom he had not met in three years. It was a happy meeting, I tell you. Willie asked his mother how did she like his intended wife. She studied so long that the train came along, and they came near getting left. Will jumped on one of his father's fastest horses, with Bessie on behind. They just reached the station in time to swing on to the car as the train was pulling out. They arrived here at 4:30 a. m., May 8. Happy, happy, happy! Twenty-Fifth Episcopical Anniversary. Real Estate News. The twenty-fifth episcopal anniversary celebration of Bishop Turner will begin May 18 at St. Paul chapel. This will be one of the most noted gatherings of God's ambassadors that was ever held. We hope that the general heart of the people of St. Louis will be in unison with them, both Zion, Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian and all other denominations that are gathered in St. Louis. Come out and help us. We will do likewise. Annuity Festival Active preparations are going on for the grand May festival to be given by the public schools, at the old Fair Grounds, Saturday, May 27. Participants from all of the district schools will compete in the "dashes" and "relay races," and pupils from the several high schools will give a very interesting exhibition in pole vaulting, broad jumping and shot putting. These events will take place in the arena, from 8 to 12 o'clock, in the morning. At 11 o'clock, in the grand stand, at the race track, will be given the grand choruses of six thousand voices, with orchestral accompaniment. The calisthenic drill, in the arena will occur at 2:30 o'clock, in the afternoon. Each school will contribute its quota of boys and girls. The girls in white dresses, the boys with white waists, and ALL wearing red, white or blue caps, will present an animated and pleasing picture as they perform the calisthenic evolutions to the strains of popular airs, discoursed by the band. Hutchins Inge, real estate agent, reports the closing of the following sales recently: 2919 Lawton avenue, 10-room stone front; price $3,300. Mrs. Amelia E.

Let some of our subscribers read and wonder. We hope this will get you to see clear: 1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to continue subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from post office to which they are directed, they are responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discontinued. 4. If the subscriber moves to another place without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former directions, they are held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that the refusing to take periodicals from post office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. 6. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice to the publishers, at the end of their time, if they do not wish to continue it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice with payment of arrearage is sent to the publisher. 7. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest anyone for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the man who allows his subscription to run along for some time, unpaid, and then orders the postmaster to mark it "refused," and has a card sent notifying the publishers, lays himself liable to arrest and fine, the same as for theft, etc. DID YOU EVER COMPARE THE PALLADIUM WITH THE OTHER RACE PAPERS PUBLISHED IN YOUR CITY.

The ready-to-wear shapes of the new season lean largely toward turban effects. Polo toques express the last cry of the man hatter, to whose somewhat stiff finger many smart women choose always to trust their first spring headger. One of these shown at a well-known shop is a pointed toque of fancy blue and green braid, with rosettes of the same around the brim, enclosing a blue braid flower. At the left front three long green leaves give the lift usually accomplished by quills. Such quill-shaped leaves are much employed upon these stiff hats, especially if real flowers are used. With the genuine quills many novel effects are remarked, odd spots and unique trimmings of all sorts appearing upon the pointed and paddle-shaped feathers. Fancy braids, too, with bristling flower edges, are effective points with other toques and PYPICAL OF THE SEASON'S SHOWING. especially with mourning millinery are these stunning, as the black ones show all sorts of crepe-like suggestions. In fact, everything is done to make mourning millinery handsome, and, except for the somber note struck by unrelieved black, many a mourning hat seems flippantly gay. The new toques are rather smaller than those recently worn, and such shapes in straw, horsehair braid or flowers and tulle, are chosen most often for wear with plain, tailored gowns. The majority lift high at the back and point over the face, for a high back or front lift are the newest touches in millinery. Still, there are side-tilted brim hats, and low, round turbans which sit on the head as flatly as the old pork-pie shapes. One of the last named illustrates a distinctive trimming in the way the two long quills meet at the left front, and almost completely encircle the edge. The quills are in glittering shades of bronze-brown and green, and they are employed upon a brown straw hat. At the back of the turban, loops of bronze velvet are placed against the hair. The rear rise of the brims may be regarded as most valuable, as, through this, the back under trimmings are again used. No more becoming touch was ever found in millinery than this massing of pretty materials against the hair. The charming device also calls for the crown band, which tilts the hat at a fetching angle over the face, and, as this suits brim shapes admirably, some very effective leghorn and panama models are seen. Compared to the compact and flatly trimmed toques these hats seem very coquettish. Evidently the shaping of many of the models is entirely the milliner's affair, for in most cases the big flatused is plaited and tucked into whatever form wished by the trimmer. FASHION FANCIES Lapis lazuli beads are odd and pretty. Tablier effects are much in vogue. Washable belts are very attractive. It is predicted that colored belts will have the preference during the coming season. Chambray is utilized for some fetching shirt waist suits. Checks, in all-wool material, are used for smart tailor-made costumes. Chiffon silk stockings represent the increasing popularity for the chiffon finish. The newest link purses in gold mesh are in circular shape. Mohairs, plain and fancy, will be much worn this spring. Pompadour designs prevail in trimmings and laces. The bluebell is a favorite pattern in summer laces. White and Arabian burnt-out embroideries greatly resemble heavy lace. Eyelet embroidery is used for under-skirts, both of china and taffeta silk. Ombre effects were never more in evidence than in the present season's millinery. Raspberry, brownish green, golden and wood brown and saxe blue are prominent colors. Butcher's linen for shirt waists and suits is embroidered in both openwork and blind designs. The latest chatelaine bag is made of Japanese silk. It is attached to a belt of the same silk and has double compartments. The polo turban, the tri-corne, the continental, the Napoleon and the pcke are the hat shapes that command most attention this spring. Sun Good for the Skip Don't think of the complexion only and fear tan and freckles; they can be removed. The sun is one of the most efficient of all surgical methods in the treatment of morbid growth, as warts, moles and all parasitical skin diseases. Don't be afraid of sunshine. Curative powers are in the chemical rays of the sun and they reinforce it. FOR BABY'S WARDROBE. From a Clothes-Basket and a Large Box May Be Evolved Bassinet and Chest. A common clothesbasket, costing 25 cents, may be transformed into a most charming and comfortable nest for the little stranger, where most of the time for the first six months of life may be spent. First, cover the basket with pink, blue or white cambric; make a pad of curled hair for the bottom; cover this with oiled silk. Then take white dotted swiss and cover the cambric; make a deep ruffle around the top, which may be plain or edged with ribbon or lace; wind the handles with ribbon, tying a big bow at the side. A tiny pillow may be added for the downy head, but most nurses disapprove of pillows of any size, says the Chicago Record-Herald. Now for the chest upon which the basket can rest. A wooden box 30 inches long and 22 inches high is the foundation of the one illustrated. It came from the store filled with small parcels and was about to be consigned to the basement for kindling wood when "the matron" rescued it and announced that from it the baby's hamper and basket were to be evolved. The man of the house smoothed the rough edges, made a lid, and then a tray of very light wood was fitted in the top, just like a trunk tray. The entire chest was lined with blue camric; the tray was covered with blue, then with white point d'esprit; pinchhions, pockets and powder box were all put in this tray; it was made exactly like the time-honored baby basket. The top of the chest cover had a piece of blue silk elastic fastened diagonally across which held the brush, comb, and other small articles. Under the tray was plenty of room for the tiny clothes. The outside of the chest was covered with tapestry at a dollar and a quarter yard, but cretonne or the art tickings are all appropriate. EASY BEAUTY EXERCISES. Each Woman Should Carefully Consider Her Own Defects and Persistently Try to Overcome Them. Nothing is a more common cause of physical unevenness than the habit of incorrect standard, throwing the weight of the body upon one foot or leg. Many cases of crookedness are also brought about by some odd individual habit. Carrying school books or parcels always in one arm, especially when they are held against the hip, throws a body into one-sided position. Improper sitting at school or at desks not rightly adjusted is responsible for many uneven shoulders and hips. It is necessary for every woman to study her own case, and to discover the cause; if it is some trick or habit, such, for instance, as holding a trained skirt always by the right hand, it must be done away with promptly, and exercises practiced to correct the figure. In simple standing exercises it is important that one hand should rest on the hip and the other be clasped about the neck. The hand on the hip belongs to the high side; the other, lifted to the neck, raises the entire side hip, shoulder and all, along with it, and so corrects the fault. The high hip is usually the right one, but each case may differ. Starting with this position, it is possible to use an infinite number of well-known exercises; those which stretch and bend the spine are the most profitable. RECEPTION ETIQUETTE. What to Serve at an Informal Afternoon and How to Dispense the Light Refreshments. The etiquette of receptions, when these take the form of "four o'clock tea" or of certain days in the month or season, forbids the offering of a large variety of refreshments. Indeed, it is considered decidedly vulgar to do so; tea, chocolate, sandwiches, punch, or on cold days in winter, hot boulon, are all that is necessary. The serving is also very simple, to be in perfect taste. The tea equipments may be at one end of the room, on a small table, and every one go to receive a cup, or it may be handed by a maid. The hostess may have several girl friends to assist in the serving, or she may set that her guests are served herself. This informality is almost a necessity for the reason that guests come and go, and any formal serving is practically impossible. Especially is this the case where the tea of afternoon is given by a bride to receive her friends. She may not know many of them, and introductions are in order; she may be very young and not yet equal to the formal reception. In any case, it is good form to have such occasions quite free of the formality of a course dinner. Blue Broadcloth Suit. An attractive dark blue broadcloth suit has straps of braid finished by buttons. The coat extends five or six inches below the knees and has straps after strap of the braid graduating into the waist line and then out again toward the bottom. Each strap is finished by a button, is close fitting and single-breasted. The sleeves are rather small, with turned back cuffs trimmed with the braid. The skirt is box plaited and has straps of braid at each side of the whole center box plait Spring Rats. The first of the untrimmed millinery shapes have appeared, and we may get a fair idea of coming modes. Chiffon, mousseline and maline hats will be worn a great deal, and as it is possible to buy beautiful shapes in these materials, the economical woman will relioce. WORK THAT TELLS.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Owing to our mode and manner of living, and the nervous haste of every woman to accomplish just so much each day, it is said that there is not Mrs Chester Curry one woman in twenty-five but what suffers with some derangement of the female organism, and this is the secret of so many unhappy homes. No woman can be amiable, light-hearted and happy, a joy to her husband and children, and perform the duties incumbent upon her, when she is suffering with backache, headache, nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing, down pains, displacement of the womb, spinal weakness or ovarian troubles. Irritability and snappy retorts take the place of pleasantness, and all sunshine is driven out of the home, and lives are wrecked by woman's great enemy—womb trouble. "I was troubled for eight years with irregularities which broke down my health and brought on extreme nervousness and despondency. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound proved to be the only medicine which helped me. Day by day I improved in health while taking it until I was entirely cured. I can attend to my social and household duties and thoroughly enjoy life once more, as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has made me a well woman, without an ache or a pain."

NO MORE HEADACHE GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER DISAPPEAR TOO. How a Woman Was Freed from Troubles That Had Made Life Wretched for The immediate causes of headache vary, but most of them come from poison or poisoned blood. In anemia the blood is scanty or thin; the nerves are imperfectly nourished and pain is the way in which they express their weakness. In colds the blood absorbs poison from the mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates the nerves and produces pain. In rheumatism, malaria and the grip, the poison in the blood produces like discomfort. In indigestion the gases from the impure matter kept in the system affect the blood in the same way. The ordinary headache-ours at best give only temporary relief. They deaden the pain but do not drive the poison out of the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills on the contrary thoroughly renew the blood and the pain disappears permanently. Women in particular have found these pills an unfailing relief in headaches caused by anemia. Miss Stella Blocker recently said. "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did me a great deal of good. I had headache nearly all the time. After I had taken three boxes of these pills I became entirely well." "How long had you suffered?" she was asked. "For several years. I can't tell the exact date when my illness began for it came on by slow degrees. I had beer going down hill for many years." "Did you have any other ailments?" "I was very weak and sometimes I had fever. My liver and kidneys were affected as well as my head." "How did you come to take the remedy that cured you?" "I saw in a southern newspaper a statement of some person who was curcus of a like trouble by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. My physician hadn't done me any good, so I bought a box of these pills. After I had taken one box I felt so much better that I kept on until I became entirely well." Miss Blocker's home is at Leander, Louisiana. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists. Besides headache they cure neuralgia, sciatica, nervous prostration, partial paralysis and rheumatism. W. L. DOUGLAS Union Made $3.50 SHOES For Men. W. L.

CHICAGO 74 Cortlandt Street NEW YORK LESSON TEXT—John 17:15-26; Memory Veres 20, 21. Read chapters 15 and 17. GOLDEN TEXT—"I pray for them."— John 17:9. TIME—Thursday, late in the evening, immediately after the last lesson V. 15. "I pray." Jesus asks just what it is the heavenly Father's will to give. "Not . . . out of the world." Undoubtedly the apostles wished they could die with Jesus, but Jesus' plan is that they shall stay in this world and carry on His work. "Keep them from evil." Protect or deliver them from the evil which prevails in the world. We join Jesus in this petition when we pray. "Lead us not in temptation, but deliver us from evil." V. 16. "They are not of the world." When one begins to love Jesus, his motives are no longer prompted by the principles of this world. He does not look to this world for reward, nor find his joy in worldly delights. This is because the heavenly life of Jesus has been accepted. In John 15:18-25, Jesus had told what it may cost one to be in the world but not of it. V. 17. "Sanctify them." The word sanctify has several meanings. One is, to make holy. Jesus wishes us to grow daily more like himself. But, as here used, the word sanctify means to consecrate to God's service. "Through thy truth," or "in the truth." It is in the atmosphere of truth that the Christian life flourishes. "Thy word is truth." "Truth" is a very great word. It may well be taken as including all the actual, in distinction from the seeming or unreal. It has reference here to divine revelation. Truth is the mightiest force in all the world. Its power is greater than that of kings. It endureth all things, and prevails over all evils. The man with truth upon his lips at all times stands as an unmovable rock in the path of Satan. V. 18. "As thou has sent me into the world," on a specific mission, "even so have I sent them." To carry on the same work by preaching the gospel, caring for the poor, relieving suffering, and ever seeking to lead men to God. We may be disciples of Christ engaged in the same good work that He intrusted to His chosen twelve, and by following His precepts make ourselves and others happy and better as a result of our efforts. V. 19. "I sanctify myself." Jesus, who was always pure and holy, at the age of 12 years consecrated himself to His Father's business (Luke 2:49). He now consecrates himself to glorify the Father by His death upon the cross. He does this "for their sakes"—that is, to set them an example. Jesus' Spirit would work in and through His disciples. "Through the truth." By receiving my Spirit and by following my example, and in no other way, can they be truly consecrated. V. 20. "Neither ... these alone." Jesus prays for more than those gathered around Him in that little room. He prays for all the millions who, in after years, would be won to Him through their testimony—"through their word." The method is very simple; by the testimony of the first believers others are to be won; by their testimony still others (Acts 1:8), until "the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." V. 21. "That they all may be one." There is unity between people when they have the same spirit and same purpose. Perfect unity is effected when each admits the Spirit of Jesus to rule in his heart. "That the world may be believe." When the world sees that Christians are thus one, it believes that Jesus was indeed sent by God. V. 22. "The glory . . . given them." Jesus will share His heavenly glory with His own. But more than this is here meant. The glory which Jesus has had upon earth—the glory of manifesting the divine character, of exercising divine love, performing divine works—this is the glory he gives His disciples. V. 22. "In them, and thou in me." There will be perfect union, for which love is the bond. "That the world . . . loved them." A second outward result of the perfect union of believers is that the world is thereby convinced that God loves mankind. V. 24. "Be with me where I am." Undoubtedly this refers to believers being at last with Jesus in the heavenly home, where his glory shines in its fullness. "Glory . . . given me." The glory of leading mankind back to God. V. 25. "The world hath not known thee." They in this world who refuse to accept Jesus are strangers to God. Jesus knew God perfectly, and sought to bring others to Him. V. 26. "Have declared." Through my words, my work, my character. "Thy name." The perfect expression of thy character. "Will declare it." In future days through the Holy Spirit. "That love . . . in them." In order that we may more and more realize God's love for us and that our love for him may steadily increase. Practical Points. V. 18. Jesus has a plan for the life and work of each of us, as truly as the Father had a mission for Jesus.—Phil. 3:12. V. 19. By and through Jesus' consecration ours can be accomplished.—Heb. 10:20. V. 23. Love is the only bond strong enough to bind us eternally to God and to one another.—I John 4:16. V. 26 Unless we declare Christ's "name"—that is, manifest His character—it may well be doubted whether we are His disciples.—John 13:35. Investigation of the Packers. Very general interest has been manifested in the government investigation now in progress into the mode of conducting business by the large packers located in Chicago and elsewhere. Much has been written upon the alleged illegal and improper modes of business procedure connected with the packing industry; but it seems that so far no definite charge of any kind has been sustained and no proof of illegal or inequitable methods has been disclosed to the public. While a wave of severe criticism of this great industrial interest is now passing over the country, it might be well to remember that the packers have had as yet no opportunity to make specific denial, the many indefinite charges of wrong-doing having never been formulated so that a categorical answer could be made. The recent report of Commissioner Garfield, which embodied the results of an official investigation undertaken by the department of commerce and labor of the United States, was a vindication of the western packers, but this result having been unexpected, attempts in many quarters to discredit it were made. In view of the situation as it now stands, however, attention may properly be called to a few facts that owing to popular clamor are now being apparently overlooked. Fair treatment in this country has heretofore been accorded to all citizens whose affairs assume prominence in the public eye and some of the facts that bear upon the relation of the packers to the commerce of the country may at this time be briefly alluded to. It would be difficult to estimate the benefits gained by the farmers of the country resulting from the energetic enterprise of the packers, for whatever is of benefit to the farmer is a gain to the entire commerce of the country. And connected with their continuous aggressive work no feature perhaps has been more important than their efforts in seeking outlets all over the world for the surplus products of the farmer. Our total exports of agricultural products have gained little in the past twenty years, and leaving out corn, the total of all other farm products was far less in 1903 than in 1891. But in packing house products there was considerable gain during this period, because an organized and powerful force has been behind them seeking new and broader markets. Besides the benefits reaped by farmers on account of the enterprise and energy exercised by the packers in attaining commercial results by foreign trade, the great development in the manufacture of packing house by-products has added enormously to the value of all live stock raised in the United States. The waste material of twenty years ago, then an expense to the packer, is now converted into articles of great value, and, as an economic fact, this must correspondingly increase the value to the farmer of every head of cattle marketed at the numerous stock yards of the country. Let these facts be remembered while now it is so popular to regard the great packing industry as deserving of condemnation. At least it must be admitted that, so far, there is no adequate reason for the almost unanimous howl that may be heard everywhere in the face of the Garfield report above alluded to, which practically exonerates the packers from the obscure and indefinite charges that have been for some time past made the subject of popular comment. To Thicken Eyebrows Comb the eyebrows and clip the edge of them. Then use the salve accompanying until the growth is increased: Red vaseline, two ounces; tincture of cantharides, one-eighth ounce; oil of lavender, 15 drops; oil of rosemary, 15 drops. Mix thoroughly. Apply to the eyebrows with a tiny toothbrush once a day until the growth is sufficiently stimulated, then less often. Fast Time with a Heavy Train. Fast Time with a Heavy Train. Drawing a vestibulated train of ten cars weighing 1,208,050 pounds, one of the Erie's new standard passenger locomotives of the Pacific type, attained a speed of 71 miles an hour, on a grade of 45 feet to the mile entering Port Jervis, on her trial run from Jersey City. A speed of 61 miles was maintained on a level stretch and 27 miles on the climb over the hill from Middletown, where the grade runs from 58 to 61 feet to the mile. The locomotive and tender weighed 389,750 pounds, carrying 8,500 gallons of water and 16 tons of coal, and is the largest passenger engine ever built. The run was the best ever made over the Erie tracks and foretells what may be expected in the transportation over "the picturesque Erie" when its new equipment is placed in service.

Private Car Lines The railroads seem very willing to have the private car lines brought under the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission. A railroad president is authority for the statement that lines are paid mileage, without discrimination, and the question of excessive charges is a matter for the shipper to settle with the car lines, as long as there is no law to govern their rates. Car mileage paying has been decided to be as legal as the payment of rental for property. Fashionable Lace Valenclenches lace is used for trimming all kinds of sheer washable materials.

Patent Medicines. As a rule patent medicines are put up by laymen or self-styled doctors who have little or no knowledge of drugs, or the request for them to vertising on a large scale, they often manage to dispose of lots of their ware. Pushek's-Kuro is really not a patent medicine. It is prepared by Dr. Pushek, a reel physician, who has practiced in Chicago for about 25 years. Dr. Pushek knows how good this remedy is, and that it can be used in Pharmanism, Veakness, Nervous Prostration and all Stomach and Bowel complaints. Dr. Pushek gives all sufferers an opportunity to test his Kuro by offering to send a trial treatment to be paid for only when it cures. For more information write to Dr. Pushek, Chicago, Ill.

Betrothed at Birth In some parts of West Africa the girls have long engagements. On the day of their birth they are betrothed to a baby boy a trifle older than themselves, and at the age of 20 they are married.

Mistaken for Foxes. The purchase of foreign fox cubs from importers of wild animals is attended with serious dangers.

Dirty, adulterated and queerly blended coffee such as unscrupulous dealers shovel over their counters won't do. But take the pure, clean, natural flavored LION COFFEE, the leader of all package coffees—the coffee that for over a quarter of a century has been daily welcomed in millions of homes—and you will make a drink fit for a king in this way: HOW TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE. Grind your LION COFFEE rather than just results you must use the best coffee. Grind your LION COFFEE with a little cold water, enough to make a thick paste, and add white of an egg (if egg is to be used as a settler), then follow one of the following rules: 1. WITH BOILING WATER. Add boiling water, and let it boil THREE MINUTES ONLY. Add a little cold water and set aside five minutes. 2. WITH COLD WATER. Add your cold water to the paste and bring it to a boil. Then set aside, add a little cold water, and in five minutes it's ready to serve. 1st. With Eggs. Use part of the white of an egg, mixing it with the ground LION COFFEE before boiling. 2nd. With Cold Water instead of eggs. After boiling add a dash of cold water, and set aside for eight or ten minutes, then serve through a strainer. Insist on getting a package of genuine LION COFFEE, prepare it according to this recipe and you will only use LION COFFEE in future. (Sold only in 1 lb. sealed packages.)

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 J. W. WI We are the son in journalism, and all we have to-day we thank our old teacher, Dr. D. L. Martin, of Nashville, Tenn. He gave me the first lesson in 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 NOTICE. Mr. 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. Whatever 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. HEELER. composition. Now he tells me to turn my store into a candy store.
