There was an exciting baseball game at Forest Park, between the Post Office Clerks and the Sumner High School Base Ball teams. Decoration Day, May 30. The feature of the game was the remarkable playing of J. Cordie Watkins and Wm. Rogers of the Clerks, and Prof. Campbell and Mazee of the school team. The final score resulted in a victory for the Clerks with a score of 11 to 10. We must remark at the punk playing of the touted favorites of the supposed cracks, Fairfax, Haley and Crawford.

Kinloch Park school closed with a fishing excursion to Creve Coeur lake. Dear Editor—While loitering by the way we noticed a merry group clad in holiday attire. As we drew near we learned it was Kinloch school outing. We joined in, and spent a day that a king might envy. The patrons of the school had well-filled baskets, and long before we caught the first fish, dinner was announced. Reluctantly we left our hooks and lines and went to dinner, where several tables were together, and a feast was spread that kings and queens would have enjoyed. The afternoon was spent in rowing, fishing and swinging. At 6 o'clock we left for home. Mrs. M. E. Jones, who has taught the school for three years, has been reappointed teacher for the ensuing year. News comes to us again of our former agent, M. J. Madson, that he obtained more than 20 subscribers in Moherly, including the postmaster; also in Mexico, and likewise in Rolla. All who send us their names, or evidence that they subscribed for the paper, we will send the same. So far we have counted 50 subscribers this agent has obtained, and not one dollar has been returned. Mark what we say, as soon as Chief Desmond returns home, he (Madson) will be arrested and brought to St. Louis. Mark the prediction of The Palladium. An Enterprising Firm. We wish to call the attention of the public to the firm of Barnhart Mercantile Co., who employ nearly a hundred girls. Little does the Negro realize that so many of our young girls are employed in many of the establishments of this city. This firm leads in the good work, and we are glad that such is the case. The Palladium leads others follow, but in a weak way. Number of Novelties. BABY SHOW. BAY CONTEST Drill.

When the representatives of the Grand Lodge, K. of P., of western Pennsylvania, rose in their places at the Supreme Lodge convocation in St. Louis, in 1903, and invited that body with earnest and impassioned language, to hold its next biennial session in Pittsburg, Pa., promising on their part, and with the generous assistance and hearty co-operation of the lodges,Uniform Rank and Courts of Calanthe within the jurisdiction, to make the convention the most memorable gathering in the annals of the order in this country, they spoke strictly within the bounds of probability and possibility. The invitation was accepted; the date, August 21-26, 1905, was fixed, and it is now up to western Pennsylvania to make good its promises by successful performance. Here, in Pittsburg which is the logical center of the Grand Lodge, K. of P., of western Pennsylvania, with its 25 lodges, 7 uniform companies and 17 courts of Calanthe, supplemented with the hearty support of the best citizens of both races, in all the region roundabout, the plans have been laid, and the work is being done, which will demonstrate beyond all peradventure, to the officers and delegates to the Supreme Lodge, and the thousands of visitors who will attend it, in theides of August, that the Pittsburgh Knights of Pythias knew what they were talking about when they said: "Come, and we will do thee good, and make the happy." The biennial sessions of the Supreme Lodge, Bishop Mack, one of the most logi- time a full fledge Baptist. K. of P., are always occasions of more than passing interest to a very considerable number of the Colored people throughout the country. It is the second largest benevolent organization among us, and in its ranks can be found many of the best men of the race. The martial character of the uniform rank attracts the younger men and affords them an opportunity to engage in military exercises, while the courts of Calanthe make it possible for the ladies to assist their fathers, brothers and husbands in emphasizing the motto of the order, "Fraternity, Charity, Benevolence." Then, too, the coming together every two years, from all points of the compass, and the consequent interchange of thought and ideas concerning Pythianism, and all else beside, broadens the horizon of life for all who attend the conventions, whether as a delegate or as a mere "looker-on in Vienna." The man from the north, south, east and west can not visit among his fellows without learning much that is useful, seeing much that is interesting, and hearing much that will start the think wheels revolving. In no city that the Supreme Lodge has ever held a convocation was there more along educational, historical, industrial and social lines to engage the attention and arouse the interest of the visitor than can be truthfully said of Pittsburg. Its homes, churches and public places for comfort, architecture and magnificence, will vie with in any city. Its people are intelligent, hospitable and thrifty; and once they throw the door of invitation open, rest assured that the glad hand and cheerful wel- САПЕЛЬ The statehouse of Pennsylvania.

Little Lloyd, son of Prof. and Mrs. L. H. Patterson, of 4263A North Market street, who has been sick for three weeks, is much better. We hope for his early recovery. Sunday, May 29, at 11 a. m., Rev. S. P. Anderson preached to a congregation at his church that seemed eager to hear the word of God. The sermon was fine, so much so, that all felt that it was good to be at the house of God. At 8 p. m. the congregation listened to a splendid sermon by Rev. J. W. Muse. Prof. Allen, of Jefferson City. Prof. Allen, president of Lincoln Institute, presented the graduating class of Independence, Mo., with their diplomas. He also spoke to the people of several districts at a joint school picnic in St. Louis county on Saturday, May 27. Work on the new $2,500 building for girls to be erected in Jefferson City, has begun, and will be one of the most complete of its kind. F.B. Cox Co. K.C. A Successful Collector. Miss Richardson, secretary of The Palladium, is a most successful collector, and we hope that she may collect the better part of what is due us. She gets a good percentage on what she collects, so look for her. She will come when you are ready and willing to pay.

He is an up-to-date pastor. 17 Mr. Frank Linn, who lives at 114 South Leonard avenue, is one of the wonders of the age. He is a repairer of clocks. Back in the days of slavery, when every white man was forbidden to teach a Negro his alphabet, or even any trade, this boy, now a man, conceived an idea to repair clocks. A boy who could not see anything, undertook to learn the trade of repairing clocks, and to-day he is one of the most perfect clock repairers. He lives at the above number, and if you doubt this, take your clock that is out of order to him, and he will take it to pieces and set it going in your presence. Card of Thanks. n behalf of myself and family. I desire to offer this expression of gratitude to the Golden Gate Society No. 1, the St. Louis Walters and the Ladies' Auxiliary of this city; also other dear friends and neighbors, for kind and thoughtful ministrations during our recent and sad bereavement; also for the beautiful floral offerings at the death-of our mother. MRS. ANNIE E. HALLAM. MRS. GERTRUDE WILSON. Old Folks' Home. You would have laughed yourself a-plenty had you attended the Old Folks' concert at First Baptist church. and heard Brother Richardson and Sister L. Richardson recite "Our Pastor in London, England." In fact, the entire programme was grand. A Successful Operation. Mrs. J. Wilson, of 2199 Chestnut street, had a very dangerous operation performed on herself last Thursday at the hospital. As we go to press she is resting easy, and we hope for her early recovery. Her husband, Mr. Wilson, is much worried about her. We passed a place on Market street, a tailor, who styles himself, Sam, The Tailor. We say, don't be deceived, as the original Sam, The Tailor, is at 204 North Fourteenth street. ANNUAL SERMON U. B. F. and S. M. T. One of the largest and most impressive annual sermons that was ever held in St. Louis, was that of the U. B. F. and S. M. T's at the First Baptist church last Sunday. For the first time in the history of that church was every seat occupied by the order and no room left for visitors. The parade led by the vallant knights was grand, the order of U. B. F. followed. At the church were the sisters, not less than 700 in number. When all was ready, the order went through with the ceremony laid down by the National Grand Master W. A. Tains, of Frankford, Ky. Past Grand Master C. H. Tandy was master of ceremonies assisted by Past Deputy Grand Master J. W. Wheeler. Mr. Farmer was introduced and spoke of the past history of the order. The choir at different intervals rendered sweet music for the occasion. Rev. D. A. Farnell, a member of the order, preached the annual sermon, which was highly commented upon. After which a collection was taken up amounting to $62.79, which leads the collection of all the orders that have had their annual sermons thus far, except the Odd Fellows, which we have spoken of. The present and past officers of the order were out in numbers and it seemed as if the spirit of harmony and peace prevailed in our midst. The order is now the strongest in the United States with the exception of the Odd Fellows. Will Visit Southern Cities. Mrs. Mary Gray, of 2805 Scott avenue, will soon visit several southern cities, viz.: Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Natchez, Miss. She will remain in the southland several weeks.

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 the 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. 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 callishenic 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. Warning. When you go to the drug store to buy a bottle of Ozonized Ox Marrow be sure that you get the "Ozonized." See that "Ozonized Ox Marrow Co., Chicago, U. S. A." is printed on the package. Remember that the "Ozonized" it put up only in fifty-cent size and is made only in Chicago and by us. We have no branch offices. Refuse all substitutes.

Seven thousand invitations to the commencement exercises have been sent out. The classes of 1895, 1900, 1901, 1902, 1903 and 1904 will hold re-unions during the week. Fourteen of the graduates will receive their diplomas from the agricultural department. Up to this year's, the largest class that ever graduated from this department contained four persons. Hard to Decide. Maggie McGuire, the 16-year-old child wife who walked 150 miles to ask the governor to pardon her 18-year-old husband, J. E. McGuire, but who afterward confessed to having two husbands in the penitentiary, although divorced from neither, departed for Kansas City to join husband No. 1, who sent her the money to go on. Mrs. McGuire married No. 2 because No. 1 was in the penitentiary, and now decides to go back to No. 1 because No. 2 is in the penitentiary. Charter for Scott County Line. Ben Gartz, L. J. Jones, Pierce Crosby, Henry R. Murray and B. Garetson, all St. Louisans, were granted a certificate of incorporation by the secretary of state for the construction of the Scott county railroad from Blodgett. The proposed road is to be constructed from a point on the Balmont branch of the Iron Mountain and Southern railroad, at or near Blodgett, in Scott county, in a northeasterly direction, to a point at or near Cary, also in Scott county. Western Mange A strange disease among horses is causing much trouble in some localities near Sturgeon. Dr. Stanley Smith of Columbia, was requested to look into the case, and he expressed his opinion that it was western mange and had been communicated by western horses that have been shipped into the country. The disease does not kill many horses, but renders them unfit for work a long time. Woman Dies of Poison. Mrs. George G. Buckwell, prominent in society at Carthage, died after an illness of but two hours. Some mystery surrounds the case. A postmortem examination revealed that she died from poisoning, but no trace of its source is found. Mrs. Buckwell's husband is local agent for the Missouri Pacific and her mother, Mrs. Huggins, lives in Kansas City. Babes Found in Public Road Two babies less than a week old, evidently twins, were found in the public road at Ilasco, a suburb of Hannibal, at an early hour in the morning. They were in their nude state. One was christened William Roosevelt and the other Nannie Boline. They are being cared for by people at Ilasco. Officers are making an investigation. Bribery Cases Set for June 25. Name of Suicide in Doubt. The man giving his name as A. J. Cleveland of Denver, Colo., who shot himself at Kirksville is dead. The coroner impanelled a jury and held an inquest. A verdict of suicide was returned. It is believed that Cleveland was an assumed name, as the name of M. O. Conner was tattooed on one arm; on the other arm was a cross, an American eagle and a star. The remains will be held and an effort made to locate friends. Dr. George P. Beard in Warrensburg Fifteen hundred persons crowded the State Normal school chapel at Warrensburg to hear the Rev. George P. Beard of Starke, Fla., preach the baccalaureate sermon. Dr. Beard was the first president of the college and he established the first high school there 42 years ago. Burglarized Postoffice. Ernest Church, who was convicted in the federal court at Hannibal on the charge of burglarizing the post office at Madison, has been taken to the reform school at Boonville, to which place he was sentenced for four years. Ozark Republican Is Sold. Prof. F. R. Angwin has purchased the plant of the Christian county Republican, at Ozark and will continue its publication as a republican paper. A Veteran Preacher. Rev. William R. Wiggington, probably the oldest Baptist minister in Missouri, celebrated his 86th birthday at Linneus. Mr. Wiggington was born in Virginia, but came to Boone county in 1840, and for 65 years has been a Baptist minister in this state. Miner Killed by Fall of Slate. Orazio Pliere, aged 30 years, an Italian coal miner, was instantly killed by a large fall of slate in mine No. 61 of the Central Coal and Coke company at Bevier. To Survey Macon County. A party of five expert government surveyors will visit Macon for the purpose of making a topographical survey of the eastern part of Macon county, and then they will make a similar survey of the western part of Shelby county. The result of their observations will be embodied in a handsome map to be issued by the government. This map will show the lay of the country, the location of the railroads and highways, the streams, ranges of hills, depressions and every natural feature of the country. Every farm house in the county will be indicated by a dot and the blocks forming the towns will be clearly shown. Convicts Recaptured. Henry McKinney and James Perkins, the two convicts who escaped from the penitentiary power house, are back in the big prison with less opportunity to make their getaway than had been afforded them. Each of the men had served six months of a two year term, but they lose this time because of their dash for liberty. They were taken near Bonnott's Mills, where they had broken into a section house, supposedly to secure clothing to exchange for their striped garb. McKinney came from Bates county and Perkins from St. Louis. Their captors were paid the state reward of $100. Gamer Than for Years. The Missouri fish commissioner had a special car attached to a Missouri Pacific train and gave out to all towns in western Missouri large quantities of jack salmon to stock rivers and lakes. This is a new species of fish for the majority of streams in that section, and many old fishermen doubt that they will do well. One of the officials with the car stated that scale fish this season' were more game than ever before, and their meat much more appetizing than for years previous. This is attributed to the severe cold and freezing weather the past winter Champion Typesetter Dies. William J. Collins, a printer, who in 1882 in a typesetting match won the championship from J. M. Johnson, who claimed to be the fastest typesetter in the country, died of paralysis at the home of his sister. Mrs. Catterton, at Clifton Hill, aged 53 years. Mr. Collins, before the linotypes came in use, was employed and well known in many of the city printing offices. The contest in which he achieved notoriety occurred in the Cincinnati Commercial office and lasted five hours. Missouri Pacific Extension. The Missouri Pacific railroad company has about completed plans for an extension of its line from Boonville to Moberly, where connections will be made with the Wabash railroad. The new road, if built, will give the Missouri Pacific connections with the coal fields of Northern Missouri and a direct outlet to Chicago over the Wabash by way of Hannibal Scientific Farming The last legislature authorized a soil survey of the state under the direction of the faculty of the Missouri Agricultural college at Columbia. The committee in charge has decided that one feature of the work shall be test plots in various parts of the state. One plot near Monroe City has already been chosen and other plots will be chosen soon. Lid Is on in Hermann. The lid is down in Hermann and Gasconade county in general. The instructions from the governor to H. C. Strack, sheriff of Gasconade county, to see that the Sunday law is strictly observed will result in Hermann being dry for the first time since the first German landed there in 1834 and founded the town. Girl Wins Oratory Medal. The commencement exercises of the southeast Missouri normal school began with the declamatory contest for the faculty gold medal. It was won by Miss Kate Kayburn. Rev. Woods of the Christian Advocate delivered the peculiar satem in the chapel. Revival at Dexter. The nine weeks' protracted meeting conducted by Evangelist Albert S. Utton at Dexter resulted in 451 additions to the different churches. It was the greatest religious revival in the history of that section. Charged Usurious Interest. George F. Hey, a money lender, was found guilty at Kansas City of charging usurious interest on a loan and was given a fine of $100 and sentenced to 30 days in the county jail. Name a New Superintendent. At a meeting of the board of managers of the hospital for the insane, Dr. Porter Williams, of Boonville was elected superintendent to succeed Dr. J. W. Smith, who resigned. Kansas City Debaters. The Kansas City school of law's deliating team, composed of H. M. Boyle, A. R. Long and Mareland Brown, won the intercollegiate debate with the William Jewell college team at Liberty. William Jewell was represented by D. F. Killian, A. R. Ash and R. V. Garnett. Started It with Kerosene. Mrs. Herbert Hunt was terribly burned at Chilhowee while starring a fire in a cook stove with kerosene. Her condition is critical. ```markdown ``` Beautiful Premiums are given absolutely Free Agents can furnish and beautify their homes without money. Write to-day for list of Premiums. SAN ANTONIO & ARKANSAS PASS RAILWAY COMPANY 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 & Arkansas 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 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.

SEVEN POINTERS FOR THE READ- ING AND ADVERTISING PUBLIC. (3) THE ST, LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular pubii- cation. (2) Neven has missed an fSsue. (8) 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 pub- ‘ lished in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club.

In order to prove to the public that Glossine is the greatest and most meritorious of all hair tonics we will give free to every reader of this paper, not a sample, but a full size box. If Glossine was not the best hair tonic in all the whole wide world this offer would bankrupt us. Glossine, queen of all hair tonics, is the most wonderful remedy for the human hair ever discovered and has astounded the whole world by its miraculous and mysterious power in lengthening, straightening and beautifying the human hair. It is the result of long years of careful study and the earnest researches' of Miss Helen Martin, a beautiful and attractive woman, who is acknowledged to be the most skilful and famous beauty doctor of the day. She is a wonderful, and most magnificent specimen of womanly grace and beauty, and although now 58 years of age she scarcely looks to be 30. When asked by what mediums she had been able to so successfully preserve the attractiveness and beauty of youth. Miss Martin said: "Why, it is very simple to me, and every woman, be she white or Colored, young or old, or as ugly as sin itself, can become pretty, shapely and graceful if she will only do as I advise. As a child I was never considered pretty, in fact I was not even thought to be good looking, and for this very reason ever since I was a girl of sixteen have made a study of such agencies and materials which tend to beautify and adorn the human person. "In the glorious vegetable world which nature has so bountifully bestowed upon us there are hundreds of innocent mediums which after my long life of study and investigation I have been able to successfully blend and formulate into various preparations which enhance and preserve the life and beauty of the hair and skin. I owe my own good looks and youthful appearance to these preparations which are the results of my life long work. "As to Glossine, I have never known it to fail to cause the hair to grow long, straight, soft and luxurious. It matters not how harsh and kinky it may be, and I care not if it be short, broken, splitting at the ends or falling out. Glossine will positively make it long, straight and pliant. It will give to the hair luster, length, life and beauty, and no head of hair can be so harsh and refractory but that Glossine will make it so pliant and wavy that it can be dressed with ease and in any prevailing style desired. "It will restore gray hair to its former color, make the hair grow out on all bald spots, and on the temples, where the hair is usually thin and unslightly. Glossine, is highly, sweetly and most delicately perfumed, and its color and subsistence is very attractive to all. Seeing our great success, and with the desire to trade upon our reputation gained by long years of honest dealing, numerous unscrupulous firms are trying to fool the people into buying spurious and harmful compounds for the hair and skin that cause the hair to fall, thus causing baldness and ruin; mar and deface the delicate textures of the human skin. In their wicked desire to gain money, these people do not hesitate to sell the people many preparations which are dangerous to life itself. In order to discountenance and condemn such dishonest methods, Miss Martin has decided to give a full package of Glossine to any reader of this paper, male or female, who will send their name and address. Do not delay. Write to-day. A postal card will do. We will also send our catalogue, which describes in detail our hair tonics, face bleaches and other toilet requisites.

The regular annual estimate of the Nation's drink bill, as made by the American Grocer, indicates an increasing use of stimulants in the aggregate, as well as per capita. This gain is greatest in the alcoholic beverages, notably in beer, the per capita use of which increased 0.26 gallons within one year, while that of spirits was only 0.02 gallons more. In Pawtucket, R. I., a man was fined $50 and costs for cruelty to a horse. There is nothing which touches the average person more keenly than abuse of the noblest of all animals, and while the fine was heavy, there are few who will find it in their heart to demur. Kindness to dumb animals is one of the best traits of mankind, and a few lessons like this instance in a community will have a tendency to make such cases very rare. Chicagoans agreed among themselves to quit knocking each other on the head while the presidential party was in the city. The chief magistrate of the nation should feel more proud of this than of anything that has happened to him, for Chicago can show no greater respect for a visitor than to refuse to beat up a man in his presence.

AT VLADIMIR BAY ENTRANCE He Ran Hard on a Reef and, Being Short of Coal, Landed His Crew and Then Destroyed His Vessel. St. Petersburg, June 2.—Official reports bearing on the naval battle are beginning to be received by the emperor and Grand Duke Alexis, the high admiral, the most important of these reports revealing the fate of the cruiser Izumrud, being a telegram from her captain, Baron Ferzen, dated June 1, saying that he had blown up the cruiser at the entrance of Vladimir bay and briefly describing the battle. The baron says that before dark on May 27 the Osilabya, Alexander III., and Borodino had been sunk, and that the Kniaz Souvaroff, the Kamtehatta and the Ural had been seriously damaged and were lost to sight. The command then devolved on Rear-Admiral Nebogatoff. In the evening the Nikolai I, the Orel, the General Admiral Apraxine, the Admiral Seniavin, the Admiral Nakhimoff and the Izumrud sailed northeastward, the latter being charged to transmit orders to the battleships. Two other cruisers were cut off from the fleet and were not again seen. The battleships, steaming at 14 knots, were repeatedly attacked by the Japanese torpedoboats, especially at the extremities of the line. At dawn it was ascertained that the battleship division consisted of the Nikolai I, the Orel, the General Admiral Apraxine and the Admiral Seniavin. At sunrise May 28, smoke from the Japanese ships reappeared on the horizon, whereupon the admiral gave orders for increased speed. The Admiral Seniavin and the General Admiral Apraxine dropped behind. Towards ten o'clock the Japanese fleet appeared first to port and then to starboard, while the cruiser division maneuvered behind the Russians to starboard. Baron Ferzen's account continued: "I was cut off from the squadron, and finding it impossible to rejoin it, resolved to make for Vladivostok. I put on full speed and the enemy's cruisers came on in pursuit. Owing to the insufficiency of my coal supply and the certainty of meeting the enemy's cruisers, I subsequently altered my course for Vladimir bay, where I arrived on the night of May 29. At 1:30 o'clock next morning in pitch darkness, the izumrud ran full on a reef at the entrance to the bay. Having only ten tons of coal, and seeing that it would be impossible to refloat my vessel, I ordered the crew ashore and blew up the izumrud to prevent her falling into the hands of the enemy. Ten of my sailors were wounded in the battle, but the officers and the rest of the crew are all safe. CELEBRATION IN TOKIO. Official Celebration of the Victory in the Sea of Japan. Tokio, June 2.—Admiral Togo's victory was celebrated here Thursday. The entire city was decorated with flags and bunting. Literary exercises and sports were held in Hibiya park, Mayor Ozaki presiding. Thousands of persons filled the park and cheered lustily. The naval staff occupied prominent seats on the platform. Various organizations and guilds paraded the streets, the processions all converging at Hibiya park. THE JAPANESE CASUALTIES. Revised Lists Show a Total of 537 Killed or Wounded. Tokio, June 3.—The Japanese losses in the battle of the Sea of Japan were 113 officers and men killed and 424 officers and men wounded. The completion of the revised list shows that the losses were under the original estimates. The flagship Mikasa was the heaviest loser, losing 63 killed and wounded. BILITY on National Assembly. St. Petersburg, June 2, 3 a. m.—St. Petersburg is full of rumors of the most contradictory character regarding the prospects of peace, but in the best-informed quarters it is said that no definite decision had been reached. Nevertheless, it is persistently reported that an imperial manifesto may be expected within a brief time. This manifesto, it is creditably reported, will proclaim the immediate convocation of a national assembly, to which the question of peace or war will be submitted, thereby shifting the burden of a decision from the shoulders of the emperor to the whole nation, robbing agitators of opportunity to make revolutionary capital out of the decision, whichever may it may be taken. Tokio, June 2.—A telegram from Saseho says that Admiral Rojestvensky stated in an interview that he hoped to clear Tsu island in a fog, but a sudden southwestern gale cleared the fog and revealed the presence of his fleet. Must Reduce Grain Rates. Topeka, Kos., June 2.—The board of railroad commissioners issued an order yesterday requiring the Union Pacific railroad to reduce its rates on grain from Chapman to Kansas City. The order declares that the Union Pacific has been guilty of discrimination. PORTLAND FAIR IS OPENED PORTLAND FAIR IS OPENED Formal Opening of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition. With Brief, But Impressive Ceremonies, the Fair Was Launched on Its Five Months' Season. Portland, Ore., June 2.—By a slight touch of a key of gold, President Roosevelt, from the far eastern part of the United States, Thursday noon set in motion myriads of wheels, ponderous engines and intricate mechanism 3,000 miles away on the distant shores of the Pacific, and formally opened the Lewis and Clark exposition. An immense throng had gathered for the initiatory exercises, Vice-President Fairbanks representing the president of the United States. There were parades and speeches, blare of brass, clang of gongs and the hum that comes from the excitement of jostling crowds. When the final ceremonies were concluded, heads were bared in the solemn hush that followed the benediction, and the countless wheels started to revolve, and the fair became a thing of life and animation as the crowds flowed through the great white palaces. The opening exercises were brief, though impressive. Departing from precedent, the gates to the exposition were opened early, so that the crowds could assemble before the ceremonies. The first demonstration was a parade of the grounds, in which.military, civic and spectacular features predominated. The formal exercises were held on the shore of Guild's lake, where the slope of the ground, terraced and provided with seats, formed a natural amphitheater seating many thousands. RISING IMMIGRATION TIDE. For Six Months Ending April 30, There Were 521,320 Arrivals, 108,438 In May. Washington, June 2.—Immigration statistics issued June 1 indicate that the tide is rising rapidly. For the six months ending April 30, 1905, there were admitted into this country 521,320 immigrants, an increase over the high record for the corresponding period of 1903 of 29 per cent, and 176,941 in excess of the immigration for the same six months last year. The number debarred shows an increase of only 4 per cent, the total for this year being 4,946, as compared with 4,750 in 1903, and 2,953 last year. Immigration from Russia during the six months mentioned has forged ahead with great strides. In 1903 the total was 59,107, in 1904 57,581, and in 1905 95,805, an increase over 1903 of 62 per cent. There was landed at the port of New York during the month 108,438, of which 434 were debarred and 63 returned after landing. The greatest number of immigrants continue to come from Italy, Hungary, Russia and Austria in the order named, Italy sending 41,428 during the month of April, an increase of 7,167 over the same month last year. SOUARE PEG IN ROUND HOLE. President of Howard University Has Raised the Race Question at the Negro College. Washington, June 2.—Because Rev. John Gordon, president of Howard university and a white man, has raised the race question at the negro college by declining to associate on a social equality plane with the student body and faculty, and has sought to emphasize the importance of manual training, a committee of alumni, backed by the entire undergraduate body, have preferred charges against him and petitioned the board of trustees for his immediate removal. IN A SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE. Clarence B. Young, the Northern Pacific Hold-Up Man, Talks of His Rash Attempt. Butte, Mont., June 2.—A special from Phillipsburg, Mont., says the train robber who held up the North Coast limited on the Northern Pacific at Bearmouth, Sunday night, says he alone was implicated. His name is Clarence B. Young, and he has been a wood chopper in the camps of Missoula and Ravalli counties for years. He obtained powder while acting as a man of men employed on an irrigation ditch near Twin Palls, Idaho, holding out a stick at a time. Young says he held up the train in the spirit of adventure, as he had plenty of money. THE NATIONAL FINANCES. The Monthly Statement of Receipts and Expenditures, and the Deficit for Eleven Months.

May steadfast trust in Thee Bid perfect peace; Bid fear and anxious though And doubt to cease. Help me to do Thy will; Then shall I fear no ill, And, as my heart grows still, May faith increase. Then shall my life be hid With Christ in God; E'en though the cross I bear, And feel Thy rod. Help me to watch and wait Till I reach Heaven's gate. What though the path were straft My worn, feet, trod? My worn feet trot? -Mrs. L. P. Warren, in Congregationalist AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. Each Soul Must Answer Sometime the Query: "What Have I Done for Christ?" On one occasion a friend was beside the dying bed of a military man who had held an important command in successful Indian wars. He asked if he were afraid to die. He at once said: "I am not." "Why?" He said: "I have never done any harm." The other replied: "If you were going to be tried by court-martial as an officer and a gentleman. I suppose you would expect an honorable acquittal?" The dying old man lifted himself up, and with an energy which his illness seemed to render impossible, exclaimed: "That I should!" "But you are not going to a court-martial; you are going to Christ, and when Christ asks you: 'What have you done for me?' what will you say?" His countenance changed, and earnestly gazing on his friend, with agonized feelings he answered: "Nothing!—I have never done anything for Christ!" His friend pointed out the awful mistake of habitually living in the sense of our relations one with another, and forgetting our relation to Christ and to God; therefore the error of supposing that no harm, or even doing good to those around, will serve as a substitute for living to God. What have you done for Christ? is the great question. After some days he called again on the old man and said: "Well, sir, what do you think now?" He replied: "Ah! I am a poor sinner." He pointed him to the Saviour of sinners, and not long afterward he departed this life as a repentant sinner, resting in Christ. What an awful end would have come to the false peace in which he was found! And yet it is the peace of the multitudes, only to be undeceived at the judgment seat of Christ. If this world is going to be reached, I am convinced it must be done by men and women of average talent. After all there are comparatively few people in the world who have great talents. Here is a man with one talent; there is another with three; perhaps I may have only half a talent. But if we all go to work and trade with the gifts we have the Lord will prosper us, and we may double or treble our talents. What we need is to be up and about our Master's work, every man building against his own house. The more we use the means and opportunities we have, the more will our ability and our opportunities be increased—D. L. Moody. BITS BY THE WAY. The poorest life is the one without friends. To spend money in folly is to spend life in the same way. The thing that God has approved cannot be injurious to man. If we cannot be rich and great we can at least be kind and merciful. The unfortunate have rights which are not to be disregarded by the highly favored. To test all problems by the gospel of the Son of man is the safest and the sanest way to meet them. It requires no horticulturist to remind the troubled in heart that many of the brightest flowers bloom in the night. We may not have a place in our will for the poor, but we can have a gift in our hand and a place in our heart for him. Before we climb the mountains in search of Opportunity, let us carefully examine the dust at our feet and see if God has not hidden it there. The treasures of the sympathetic heart are more rich than the oreveins in the mountains. The one increases by use while the other is diminished.—United Presbyterian. One Great Difference.

Nearly everything makes for reform. Even the telephone has a tremendous reforming influence. 'Let me give you an example of the surprising effect that the telephone exercises over our morals. 'Breakfast one morning, said to his wife: "My dear, I'll not be home to dinner to-night, and you had better not sit up for me, as I shall be detained very late at the office posting my books." "Very well, the lady answered. 'Before I go to bed I'll say good night to you over the telephone.'" "The man had forgotten, you see; that a telephone now connected his office and his house."

TWO OPEN LETTERS IMPORTANT TO MARRIED WOMEN Mrs. Mary Dimmick of Washington tells How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Made Her Well. It is with great pleasure we publish the following letters, as they convincingly prove the claim we have so many times made in our columns that Mrs. Mrs. Mary Dimmick Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., is fully qualified to give helpful advice to sick women. Read Mrs. Dimmick's letters. Her first letter: "I have been a sufferer for the past eight years with a trouble which first originated from painful menstruation—the pains were excruciating, with inflammation and ulceration of the womb. The doctor says I must have an operation or I cannot live. I do not want to have an operation if I possibly avoid it. Please help me."—Mrs. Mary Dimmick, Washington, D. C. Her second letter; Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "You will remember my condition when I last wrote you, and that the doctor said I must have an operation or I could not live. I received your kind letter and followed your advice. I was very well. As my case was so serious it seems a miracle that I am cured. I know that I owe not only my health but my life to Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and to your advice. I can walk miles without an ache or pain. I would read this letter and realize what you can do for them." Mrs. Mary Dimmick, 59th and East Capitol Streets, Washington, D.C. How easy it was for Mrs. Dimmick to write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., and how little it cost her—a two-cent stamp. Yet how valuable was the reply! As Mrs. Dimmick says—it saved her life. Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands of just such letters as the above, and offers ailing women helpful advice. to Your Grocer LION COFFEE always, and he, will not try to sell you any- y not care for our opinion, but United Judgment of Millions to have used LION COFFEE er of a century? ver proof of merit, than the Confidence of the People and ever increasing popularity?

Mr. Spencer, in speaking of "unjustly discriminatory" rates and devices, makes a distinction which is at once apparent to common sense. There may be discrimination in freight rates which is just, reasonable and imperatively required by the complex commercial and geographical conditions with which expert rate makers have to deal. To abolish such open and honest discrimination might paralyze the industries of cities, states and whole sections of our national territory. This distinction between just and unjust discrimination is clearly recognized in the conclusions of the International Railway Congress, published yesterday: "Tariffs should be based on commercial principles, taking into account the special conditions which bear upon the commercial nature of the railway service. The reservation that rates shall be charged without arbitrary discrimination to all shippers alike under like conditions, the making of rates should as far as possible be based on the elastic necessity to permit the development of the traffic and to produce the greatest results to the public and to the railroads themselves." The present proposal is, as Mr. Walker D. Hines, of Louisville, showed in his remarkable testimony the other day before the senate committee at Washington, to crystallize flexible and justly discriminatory rates into fixed government rates which cannot be changed except by the intervention of some government tribunal, and by this very process to increase "the temptation to depart from the published rate and the lawful rate in order to meet some overpowering and urgent commercial condition."—New York Sun.

When the Garfield report on the business methods of the packers appeared, after eight months' investigation, it was severely criticised and roundly denounced. After three months of publicity it is significant that those who attempted to discredit it have failed to controvert the figures contained in that exhaustive document. The public is beginning to notice this omission, and the feeling is rapidly growing that the sensational charges out of which the "Beef Investigation" arose were without foundation. If the official statements of the report are susceptible of contradiction, a good many people are now asking why the facts and figures are not furnished to contradict them. The truth seems to be that most of the charges contain unfounded sensational assertions. A flagrant example of this appeared in a recent article in an Eastern magazine, to the effect that "forty Iowa banks were forced to close their doors in 1903-4 by the Beef Trust's manipulation of cattle prices." Chief Clerk Cox, of the banking department of the Iowa State Auditor's office, has tabulated the list of banks given in the magazine article and has publicly denounced the statement as utterly untrue. He gives separately the reasons for each failure mentioned and officially states that they have been caused by unwise speculations and by reckless banking methods. It may be well to suspend judgment upon the packers until the charges against them are proved. "Is her voice cultivated?" "No; she raises it naturally."— Cleveland Plain Dealer. EVERY WALK IN LIFE.

Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 11. "Mary," Mary, who lived at Magdala. She is commonly called Mary Magdalene. "Sepulchera." A tomb excavated from the rock, in which were niches to receive many dead bodies. The entrance to such a tomb was blocked by a heavy stone. "Stooped down." Stooped in order to look into the cave. V. 13. "They have taken away my Lord." She thought enemies had stolen the body of Jesus. V. 14. "Turned herself." Feeling a presence near caused her to turn toward the garden. "Knew not." A subtle change had passed over Jesus. Intimate friends failed to recognize Him until He made Himself known to them. V. 16. "Jesus saith, Mary." Her own name, spoken in the familiar tone, brought knowledge to her heart which the tear-blinded eyes had not been able to receive. "Rabboni." She spoke in her own language, the Hebrew, the title of reverential love—"Master." V. 17. "Touch me not." Do not cling to Me. Jesus assures her He will not immediately ascend to Heaven. "My brethren." Jesus thus recognizes all who love Him as members of the family of God. "I ascend." His ascension had begun in His rising from the grave. It was completed 40 days later (Acts 1:3-11). "My Father, your Father." The heavenly Father will exercise the same loving care over His adopted children that He has shown to His "only-begotten Son." V. 18. "Came and told." Mary proved the sincerity of her love by hastening to fulfill Jesus' desire, and, out of the abundance of her full heart, the words undoubtedly gushed forth impetuously. But the disciples were so slow of heart they believed not (Mark); would not let their hearts accept the comfort of the sweet story Mary told. A little later this same morning Jesus met and was recognized by the other women (Matt. 28: 9, 10), and also by Peter (1 Cor. 15:5). Later still He appeared to two disciples on their way to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-25). V. 19. "Doors shut . . . assembled." The little company had gathered, probably in an upper room of some house in Jerusalem. They did not know how soon the persecutions which Jesus had foretold would fall upon them, and doubtless feared that the ruling Jews, having slain the Master, would at once take steps to arrest or kill His followers. "Jesus stood in the midst." No door was opened to admit Him, but suddenly Jesus was there. His resurrected body had powers it had not possessed before. "Said, Peace be unto you." He spoke the ordinary salutation, but with new power and sweetness in the words. He came to assure them that peace with God was firmly established; that His own peace which He had bequeathed to them, He lived to bestow upon them. V. 20. "Shewed . . . hands, side." The hands and feet bore the marks of the nails which had fastened His body so the cross; His side had been pierced by a soldier's spear. "He also ate in their presence, thus showing that His body was absolutely the same which had been dead. "Disciples glad." A "joy unspeakable and full of glory" now began to possess their minds and hearts. V. 21. "Peace be unto you." Jesus repeats these words perhaps to remind the disciples of His parting gift (John 14:29). "As my Father . . . so send I you." To carry on the work He had begun, by living like Him in character, and preaching the truths He had taught. V. 22. "Receive ye the Holy Ghost." The great spiritual gift Jesus thus imparts is offered to all assembled, but only those who will open their hearts to receive shall possess it. He gives them, it is wure, a foretaste of what was more fully bestowed a few weeks later. (See acts 2:1-11.) V. 23. "Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted." To forgive sins belongs to God alone. To remit is to send away. One remits another's sin when he teaches him and helps him to put it away. The church of Christ is commissioned to tell mankind that all who will repent of their sins and come to Jesus will not only be forgiven, but will be set free from the power of sin. Practical Points. V. 11. Too often, like Mary, we weep when we should rejoice. Had she found her Lord still in the pulselcher, she would indeed have had good cause for weeping. — I Cor. 15:19. V. 15. Our risen Lord will ultimately dry all tears. — Isa. 25:8. V. 16. Christ's love for all mankind does not supersede His personal loving care for individuals. "Jesus loved Martha and her sister, and Lazarus." — John 11:5. V. 17. All who love God form one united family, with Jesus as the elder Brother. — Eph. 4: 5.6. Odd Calling in Asia. The trade of tooth-stainer, followed in eastern Asia, is as odd a calling as any. The natives prefer black teeth to the whiter kind, and the tooth-stainer, with a little box of brushes and coloring matter, calls on his customers and stains their teeth. The process is not unlike that of blacking a boot, for a fine polish is given to the teeth. The pigment is harmless. Amateur Gardener Mrs. Black—Your husband is so straight out from the shoulder.

Wanted to Say Something to the Old Woman and the Way Was Opened. "I was in a Long Island village last summer," said a New York lawyer, according to the Cleveland Leader, "when a big automobile came tearing along, and just in front of the post office it struck and killed a big hog belonging to a villager who was leaning over his gate at the time. "The fast was the machine going?" I asked of him, as he came out and looked after the flying auto. "Forty miles an hour," he replied. "Then you can make the owner pay for your hog." "Yes, I suppose so, but I don't think I shall fool with the case." "Don't you think the hog is worth going to law about, eh?" "He was a fine hog, and I ought to hold him in my hands and the old woman have been grumpy at each other for a week, and I've been aching for a chance to open out on her. This is just what I wanted, and I'll let the auto go and go in and tell her some things she won't forget for the next 30 years!"

A Former Victim of Locometer Ataxia Now Free from Suffering and Actively at Work. "Yes," said Mr. Watkins to a reporter, "it is true that I have been cured of ataxia by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." "Are you sure you had locomotor ataxia?" "The doctors themselves told me so. Besides I recognized the symptoms." "What were they?" "Well, the first indications were a stiffness about the knee joints that came on about four years ago. A few months after that appeared, my walk got to be uncertain, shaky-like. I lost confidence in my power to control the movements of my legs. Once, when I was in the collar, I started to pick up two scuffles of coal, and my legs gave way suddenly, and I tumbled all in a heap in a basket. I couldn't close my eyes and keep my balance to save my life. Then I had careful pains over my whole body and I lost control over my kidneys and my bowels." "How about your general health?" "Sometimes I was so weak that I had to keep my bed and my weight fell off twenty pounds. Things looked pretty bad for me until I ran across a young man who had been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and who advised me to try them." "Did these pills help you right away?" "I didn't see much improvement until I had used six boxes. The first benefit I noticed was a better circulation and a picking up in strength and weight. I gradually got confidence in my ability to direct the movements of my legs, and in the course of seven or eight months all the troubles had disappeared." "Do you regard yourself as entirely well now?" "I do the work of a well man at any rate. I can close my eyes and stand up all right and move about the same as other men. The pains are all gone except an occasional twitch in the calves of my legs." Mr. James H. Watkins resides at No. 72 Westerlo street, Albany, N.Y. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be obtained at any drug store. They should be used as soon as the first signs of locomotor ataxia appear in a peculiar numbness of the feet.

NEXT ANNUAL MEETING Of the National Negro Business League. ‘The next annual meeting of the Na- tional Negro Business League will be held in the palm garden of the Central palace, New York city, August 16, 17 and 18, 105. It is not, perhaps; saying/too much to state that’ thie meeting will bring together one of the largest and most representative bodies of Colored people that has ever assembled in this coun- iry, and the present plan of the officers not only embraces the bringing to- gether of a large representation of Col- ored business men and omen from the United States, but from the West Indiar island and other foreign ccun- tries as well. Gieat preparations ‘are alreaty un- cer way on the part of the New York Local Business League for the recep- tien and entertainment of the dele- gates, 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 Indianap- ‘olis about twenty local leagues have [been organized in vartous 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 serv- ices 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.

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 employes and his con- nection with the Central Baptist church for eleven years, and his attention td his Christian duties has won for him the admiration of the pastor and members the highest re- spect. Out of eleven years as a mem- ber of the church he has missed only two Sundays at the Sunday morning prayer meeting and other services of the church. Wherever there was a call for the members of the churzh 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 re- spect and admiration of all. Our deal- ings 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 peopl® of St. Louis. ©. K, HEAD, President, GEOPGE W. KINSEY, Gon’! Manager i. H.

Manufacturers are spending annu- ally-a large amount of money creat- ing a demand for their goods through advertising agents, who never enter- tain 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 Ital- ian, Polish, the Swedish, Hebrew and other papers are to the respective na- tionalities. ‘To the point, to those who know there is no class of people who are actuated or convinced of the superi- ority of a product by the publicity given the same than the Afro-Amer- ican, for instance the manufacturer of liquors, ete., can visit colored hotels and find the best goods on the market dispensed, and demanded, they are fa- miliar 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. Advertis- ing agents overlook the Negro when placing advertisements, because - he does not do the selling and the job- bing, but this is unfair because it is the consumer that forces business. We see no reason why legitimate col- ored publications should not receive some consideration from advertising agents, as there gre many deserving ones. The mafufacturer who consid- ers the Negro publications in advance will find this a profitable and inex- pensive 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 our- selves the knowledge of showing men who have succeeded in placing their goods before the public, thereby cre- ating a wholesome demand for the same, But desire to show that the above people should_ be considered from a practical bisiness point of view. If your friends do not read The Pal- ladium, get them to send in their sub- scription Z Five Dollars. Will be paid for any advertisement that appears in| The Palladium (75 in all), which does not pay monthly for tue same. The Palladium carries from 75 to 80 ads. ranging from 49 cents to 32.25 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.
