LOUIS, 1904 A. U. K. and D. of. A. Annual Sermon of the A. U. K. and D. of A., East St. Louis, III. Last Sunday at 3:30 the above order turned out to their annual sermon at the Baptist church. The sermon was preached by Rev. Shields and the usual order of service was conducted in a very precise and able manner. The M. B. Q., Mrs. S. A. Collins, of St. Louis, turned out her council and the two queens with their councils made a very grand appearance. The order of exercises was rendered by the different officers of the councils and juveniles, and it was creditable to them, that is the manner in which they displayed their knowledge of A. U. K. and D. of A. The sermon was gladly received by all, after which Dr. D. W. Scott of St. Louis and a number of others were introduced and made splendid addresses. At the conclusion the collection was taken up as follows: Public collection, $5; Rising Council, $14.56; grand dues, $7.25; M. E. Q., Mrs. S. A. Collins' council, $18, and the juvenile department, $5.36, making a grand total of $50.11. The two M. E. queens spoke in glowing terms of the order and its work; at this juncture the Palladium man was introduced, as the vice supreme master of the A. U. K. and D. of A. He spoke of the order in St. Louis and East St. Louis, stating that the order was oraganized in St. Louis in 1890, and in East St. Louis in 1895. He spoke in glowing terms of the good work of Mrs. S. A. Collins and Sister Josephine Jones, in East St. Louis. Two better officers could not have been selected for the work and neither could a better feeling exist as does between the members and the officers of the order of the A. A. U. K. and D. of A. The Palladium will from time to time speak of the order hereafter. We noticed at the sermon, Dr. D. W. Scott and Anderson Russel, of St. Louis, Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs, Mrs. Geo. Sullivan, Mrs. Brewer also Mrs. Callie Diggs, Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Washington and many others, all of whom were from St. Louis. Perle Abbenatha was marshal, assisted by Mr. Crittendon. ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES Sunday, July 9, covenant and communion services will be held at 10:30 a. m. and 3 p. m., respectively, at which time all the members are expected to be present. Antioch Missionary Circle will hold their regular prayer and praise meeting Wednesday, the 12th, at 8 p. m. Members and friends are invited to be present. Come out, and help on the great cause of missionary work. Mrs. Mary A. Thornton, President. Mrs. Carrie Bray, Secretary. Where are the members of the Antioch B. Y. P. U.? Have you not rested long enough? The president would like very much to see you at meeting next Sunday at 6:30 p. m. A FRIEND. A New Hospital. Mrs. E. M. Mitchell of 2014 Walnut street is quite sick. Little Bertha Godson, her grandchild, is also sick. Her little boy got his thigh broken. Really the home, 2014 Walnut street, is the second hospital. Dr. Crew of 2647 Morgan street is in charge. When you read the Palladium don't forget to look for the Pickets' ad. They are all over the Palladium, 2601 Lawton avenue. Saint James The following persons were married by the Rev. W. D. Cook, D. D., of St. Paul's church, in the last few days: June 26, 1905—Albert Sexton and Rachel Ellison. June 27, 1905—Thomas Harris and Gertrude Gibbs. June 28, 1905—William H. Bass and Mary Moore. June 28, 1905—William Miller and Cornelia Kyle. June 28, 1905—Oliver C. C. Williams and Nellie A. Mason. June 29, 1905—Wesley A. Norris and Evelyn M. Herford. June 29, 1905—Joseph P. Asbrook and Leoni M. Hopson. July 1, 1905—Samuel Williams and Lillie Young. Death of John Stanley of Pacific, Mo. Mr. Stanley, who was a resident of Pacific, departed this life on Wednesday, June 14, after a long and painful illness of six months. He was a member of the A. M. E. Church in Pacific, Mo., and endured his sufferings with Christian fortitude. He leaves a wife, three sons and a daughter, also one son and two daughters in law to mourn his loss, besides the host of friends that loved him. His body was interred Friday, June 16, at Pacific, Mo. We deeply sympathize with the bereaved relatives and friends. He Got One of Them. Some months ago Miss Katie Johnson was married on the Q.T. which was kept from the public for six months. Now comes to our knowledge that our old friend and brother, Mr. Charles Beadley has been married seven months and he kept it from the Palladium man. Well we predicted that it would be one or the other and he did get one of them. Mr. Bradley is one of the most successful business men in the city. All's well that ends well. The Carnival of All Nations. The grand carnival of all nations given by the young ladies of Carondelet, July 4-7, inclusive, was a marked success. We were there on the Fourth of July and we must admit that Rev. Williams, of Quin chapel aided and rendered them good service. Carondelet is blessed with some of the prettiest and most lovely married women we have ever met, and what makes them more beautiful they are members of the church of Christ. There is but one tone to the expressions, both domestic and foreign, on the death of Secretary Hay-profound sorrow, coupled with unstinted praise for his rare diplomatic gifts. No country more sincerely deplores his demise than China. --- July 3. 1905—W. H. Harding and Luta M. Gray. July 4. 1905—Joseph Ingram and Etta Edelon. The sum of $611 was collected at St. Paul's last Sunday as the report from 140 persons. The storm of Sunday night, coming just at the hour of service, caused a small turnout, thus leaving the majority of the members to hand in their reports. The third Sunday in this month is set apart as a day of gleaming, when the trustees expect the amount to be increased to more than $1,000. The pastor and trustees would be pleased to have members and friends to remember "Gleaning Day," which is the third Sunday, July 16. Made A Good Showing Miss Josie E. Gibson, who undertook the civil service examination for nurse on April 19, 1905, passed successfully, making an average of 87.47. She not only ranked above all the nurses in the State of Missouri, but of the entire United States. Miss Lambia Vanderberg, who also took the examination, passed with an average of 86.15. This within itself looks well for both of these young ladies, yet it not only speaks well for them but for the Provident Hospital and the race as a whole. Miss Mary Williams, who is already in the service, was appointed last August. Bids Farewell to St. Louis. Mrs. Annie Turner, of 1426 Chestnut street, formerly of Little Rock, Ark., left Sunday at 11:30 p. m., for Chicago, Ill. She bade farewell to the First Baptist church and the Sunday school of which she has been a teacher for three years of class No. 5. There were many sad words pertaining to her departure and many were the sad faces that bade her adieu, hoping that she would do as much good in the future as she had done in the past, and we each and every one pray that God will bless her every effort. Met With a Serious Accident. A few days ago Mr. W. E. Raymond of 2641 Pine street, while on his daily rounds selling vegetables, met with a serious accident. Both he and his wife were very badly shaken up. They had about $25 worth of vegetables and the contents of the wagon were scattered all around the streets. His wife was really badly injured and are both confined to the bed. His horse was also injured. The attendance at the Lewis and Clark exposition at Portland, Ore, on the Fourth, was 53,708—the record thus far. THE ONLY FIRST-CLASS DRESSMAKER In St. Louis with store and general seamstress.

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. NOTICE. News comes to us again of our former agent, M. J. Madson, that he obtained more than 20 subscribers in Moberly, 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. 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 in fifty-cent size and is made only in Chicago and by us. We have no branch offices. Refuse all substitutes. The Ozonized Ox Marrow never falls to straighten kinky hair. For further particulars, see advertisement, "Wonderful Discovery," in this paper. 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. Charles Tonsall proprietor. Will Tonsall, manager. Great Western Excursion The Great Western club will give a grand river excursion on the steamer Corwin H. Spencer, Monday evening, July 10.

Cash, vice-president; John B. Vashon, secretary; Wm. D. Flowers, treasurer; Jas. W. Grant, general manager: An Enterprising Firm.

WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW The St. Louis Palladium has more subscribers than any other two Negro papers in the state of Missouri. We have more business men and women that advertise in The Palladium than any four Negro papers in the west. For Sale. We keep on hand several wonderful remedies.

A New Drug Store A New Drug Store Is now open under the management of Dr. C. F. Crews and his brother, at 2645 Lawton avenue. Dr. Crews has been in our city for a number of years, and by his gentlemanly bearing, and being a skillful surgeon, he has made many friends, who will stand by him in this undertaking. His brother, who has been with the Taylor drug store since it was opened, will be in business with him. He has proved himself a first-class druggist, and has made many friends that will be lasting. Really this will be the most complete drug store in the city—fresh drugs daily. This, together with courteous treatment, will make this store the center of attraction. We bespeak for them a successful business. NOTICE TO ALL-In sending matter for publication, please send something with it, as the printer must be paid. We can not publish a paper or wind. J. W.

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 & 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 Sallie and the babies and go south, and they will show you all of these fertilized fields, where you can enjoy life. It is a sad mistake when our people crowd into a large city. You can do better by taking up your home in Texas. We will continue this appeal for the benefit and welfare of the Negroes. Go on SAN ANTONIO & ARANSAS PASS RAILWAY. If you wish to spend a pleasant winter, GO TO TEXAS. If you have money to invest in land, GO TO TEXAS. If you wish to be benefited by the finest of artesian well water, GO TO TEXAS. If there are another number of other things you wish to do, just take advantage of the never-before-heard-off 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. upon active or productive 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.

(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 Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. TO THE PUBLIC. Any erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or reputation of any person firm or corporation, which may appear in the colums of The Palladium will be gladly corrected upon being brought to the attention of the management. All articles sent to this office for publication, must have the writer's signature or otherwise such articles will be ignored. We are not responsible for the return of unsolicited contributions on any subject. Churches and others having news or notices will please have the same in the office by Wednesday to insure publication in the week's issue. Five cents per line for each insertion. Seven cents per line for each insertion, black face. It occasionally happens that papers sent to subscribers are lost or stolen. In case you do not receive any number when due, inform us by postal card, and we will cheerfully forward a duplicate of the missing number. To Our Subscribers. To Our Subscribers. We hope that our subscribers will settle up with us, as we are in need of cash. Many of our subscribers are putting us off to go to picnics and balls. This will not do. So when our collector calls, please pay her, and don't say that you will call. Secretary Hay held a $100,000 life policy in the Equitable Life Assurance society. Politicians say if Root accepts the secretaryship of state his presidential boom will receive a healthy impetus. We will soon pay our respects to the so-called girls' and women's clubs, and when we are through with them, they will cut DAT OUT. Until the young Negro learns that he or she can not have a good time seven hours at night, and give their employer seven or eight hours a day—as the old man said, they ought to cut DAT OUT. The manager of The Palladium wishes to say that we have 1,000 or more of the best subscribers in the city of St. Louis. They pay up well, and when they promise to come to the house they never do. The Chinese government has issued an order prohibiting the spread of the anti-American boycott. This is said to be in a great measure due to President Roosevelt's recent order with regard to the enforcement of the exclusion law. --- M. R. WHITE MAN A FAILURE Professor C. C. Wilson, Declares There is Not a White School In the United States Fit to Educate a Negro Leader. St. Louis, July 7.—One hundred negro Sunday-school teachers were licensed to teach in the Sunday schools of Illinois by the colored teachers' institute at Lovejoy, Ill. Strong addresses were made on "How to Reach the Young Boys and Girls of the Negro Race." Prof. C. C. Wilson, of Cairo, Ill., declared that there was not a white school in the United States fit to educate a negro leader. "If you want negro teachers and leaders," he said, "then you must have negro schools for them. A white man can't train a negro." This statement caused a little breeze, and Rev. Earnest Hall of Bloomington responded. "It is this kind of stuff that is making it hard on us to-day," he declared. "The negro is a man, and I believe that he needs the same kind of training and from the same schools that any other man needs." REV. E. Who is now in London, a delegate Speaks For Itself. Telegram: London, Eng., July 2, 1905. Mrs. E. C. Cole. 2619 Sheridan Ave., St. Louis, Mo., U. S. A., Arrived safe, Friday, June 30. E. C. COLE. Yes, all is well and the Baptists of St. Louis are proud, or at least should be, to know that their pastor and the delegate of the west arrived safe in London. Our Dishonest Agent, M. J. Madson. We have a long letter from Prof. C. L. Robinson, principal of the Colored school at Pacific, Mo., in which he sent us the receipts of 10 persons which our ex-agent, M. J. Madson, had given them, many of the leading business white men of that city. We will send the paper to them for the time, one year. He worked Moberly, Mexico, St. Charles and Rolla, Mo. We state again that those who have received receipts "send them to us," as we will need them as soon as he is arrested. The Palladium will carry out the contract made by this dishonest agent. Our Bishop in Africa. It is rumored that Bishop Smith of the A. M. E. Church has been suspended. We regret very much if the report is true, yet we are not willing to give such a report to our readers. Editors of the Negro race should be very careful about throwing aspersion upon men who have been exalted to the office of Bishop, which is one of the highest offices on earth among men. If such be true we should throw the broad mantel of charity over his faults and remember it is human to ere, but God-like to forgive. NEWS OF M. J. MADISON. The Former Agent of the Palladium. Mr. Phil McGregor, of Pacific, Mo., subscribed and paid for the Palladium, also many more in Pacific, Mo. Send in your names and we will send the Palladium to you, at the same time we have written letters to many of our friends in the state to be on the lookout for this man. Whoever sees him have him arrested, and we will send for him, and to Jefferson City in the penitentiary he will go. J. W. WHEELER Manager of St. Louis Palladium.

On June 15th, 1905, Gen. Rice resigned the presidency of that organization, having served in that capacity more than 12 months. The board of directors and many of the members prevailed upon him to remain as president and general manager, but after he explained the fact that he had invested in a new field of business which would require all of his time and attention, his explanation was accepted with the best wishes for his success in his new venture from the club. Tom J. Holland, former treasurer, will succeed him. C. COLE. to the World's Baptist Congress. 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 humatic 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. Evangelist W. A. Sunday has just closed a month's revival effort at Canton, Ill., with a record of over 1,000 converts. A free will offering of nearly $2,900 was given him. The staff officers connected with Gen. Oku's army in the field in Manchuria held a Fourth of July celebration in honor of Gen. MacArthur and the American attaches and correspondents. Ethel Goetz was fatally shot in Milwaukee by Charles S. H. Asterson, in a pistol duel, in which Asterson was fatally wounded. Two others were wounded in the affray, which grew out of a love affair. George E. Lorenz, convicted in Washington of conspiracy to defraud the government in connection with the sale of letter box fasteners, has been taken to the West Virginia penitentiary at Moundsville. Personal Mention. Personal Mention. Mr. George Sullivan, of 2626 Randolph street, is very ill, and has been for several weeks. He has been in the Pullman service for nearly twenty years, and is also a member of Driftwood Lodge No. 17, Masons. Mr. A. L. Lee is W. M. We call his attention to the same. Mr. and Mrs. John M. Burrell, of Boston, Mass., who have been visiting their relatives, Mrs. S. P. Vashon and family, for a week past, left for their home on Saturday, July 1, after a delightful stay, much pleased with the western city and with the courtesy and hospitality of the people. Mrs. Fannie Lee has left the city to enjoy quite an extended trip through the states of Missouri and Colorado. She is a delegate to the Grand Lodge, which will convene in Fayette, Mo. She will also visit her parents and sisters at Tipton, Mo., after which she will visit Kansas City and Colorado. Mr. and Mrs. Thornton and Mr. and Mrs. Brown, of 905 Kansas street, are enjoying life, and they take things as they come, more especially The Palladium man, as he never comes away from there empty-handed. Yes, we have about 800, and then we have about 350 that are a little tardy with The Palladium man. Miss Ethel Richardson, the foster daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Richardson, will leave Monday, July 10, for Chicago, Ill., where she will join her oldest sister, Mrs. Celia Webb. Mr. and Mrs. Richardson have cared for her from an infant. She is now 17 years of age, and will make her home with her sister. May the Lord's blessing rest upon her. Mr. Condie Carter, who has been a resident of St. Louis for many years, has successfully finished the course assigned to an undertaker, and is in full charge of one of the largest undertaking establishments situated at Kansas City, Mo. We wish Mr. Carter much success for the future. The establishment of which he is in charge is owned by one of the wealthiest Colored men in the country. Mrs. Maggie Jordan of 2633 Short Market is one of our best subscribers, and she is, as we all know, a good church member. Her husband was quite sick for a few days. When men or women live in rented houses for twenty years the last month that they pay their rent is as the first day, and if you cannot pay they will put you out. Now there is no use in a subscriber wanting us to write up in the paper all things pertaining to their church, mother or husband, without pay. We wish to say that we have CUT DAT OUT. Mr Wm. J. Floyd, of 2527 Belleglade avenue, celebrated his birthday anniversary Tuesday, the 4th, by entertaining a few friends at 4 o'clock dinner. A very pleasant afternoon was spent, as no other could be expected at the above number. Mr. Floyd was kindly remembered by his friends, and seemed to enjoy it very much. Those present were: Mr. Parquette and daughter, Miss Elizabeth; Mr. and Mrs. Wallace McIntyre, of East St. Louis, ill.; Mrs. Anna Walker, Mrs. Collier and Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Thornton. The lovely home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Floyd, at 2529 Belleglade avenue, was opened to a gay but lovely set of young people Friday evening, June 30. Mrs. Floyd and Mr. Parquette jointly entertained Mrs. Floyd for her nice, Miss Eva Jackson, and her friend, Miss Edith Teal, of Carlinville; Mr. Parquette for his daughter, Miss Elizabeth, who is home for the summer from Lincoln Institute, where she has been attending school. About fifty young people were present, and a delightful evening was spent. Miss Jackson returned home Sunday, the 2d. Look! Here! There are many Negroes who have not respect enough to subscribe and pay for a Negro paper, although it defends their cause and gives them representation. In Memphis there are many homes in which Negro papers are unknown, yet these same Negroes are always whining, sitting around shedding crocodile tears as to how they are being treated. They will pay from 10 to 15 cents per week with great delight for papers that call them "coons" and "Negro cats," papers that think they are not fit for anything but to hew wood and draw water, papers that boldly declare in thunder tones that they are not published for the Negro, papers that will give whole columns to a Negro rapist and scarcely one line to a Negro author or Negro social affair. When will the Negro learn to discriminate? Subscribers failing to get their papers will not be exempted from payment of subscription on the ground that paper was not received. 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 trouble. SEND THIS LADY TO EUROPE. If you desire to send one of our public school teachers to Europe this vacation, vote for Miss Arsania M. Williams, 2959 Atlantic street, first assistant at the Dumas school, who is a candidate of the Seventh district in the Star's contest for a tour to Europe. For particulars, see the St. Louis Star. Ballot may be found on page 2 of the Star. 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. The Twilight Social club will give their annual picnic and moving picture panorama, Monday evening, July 17, 1905, at Bloemecke's grove, including all the illustrated song hits of the season. "The Man With the Ladder and the Hose." "Under the Shade of the Old Apple Tree." "Only a Dream of the Golden Past." (Special) "The Palestine Guards," and the St. Marks' camp will drill ten minutes each for $10 in gold which we offer. Come early if you want to see and enjoy the most this season. Prof. Dink Coppidge will head the musical roll with his famous Committee of arrangements, Tony G. Williams, M. V. Ransome, C. E. Williams. Five Dollars. 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 49 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. If you seen it in The Palladium you can count on it being right.

She will soon visit friends in Richmond, Ind. We hope she will soon recuperate. Hunting for Trouble While soliciting advertisements, the other day, we approached a man whom we had taken to be a gentleman, and asked him very politely for his ad. To my surprise, he said in a hog grunt: "I have got nothing for you nor your paper." I said: "All right." At this a big nigger in the wagon said something, using the most vulgar language, about whipping me. His words were so broken we could scarcely understand. At this remark I said: "I took you to be a gentleman, but the day you attempt that I will try and stop you." His remarks were heard by several persons, so when that fellow starts to me we shall defend ourselves, and I will bet dollars to pennies that he will remember that time. --- JUNE'S PRETTIEST WEDDING Miss Isabella Morgan and Mr. William James Lockridge June has long been the special favorite of Cupid's votaries, and the June of 1905 will long be remembered for the great list of happy folk who yielded themselves to the little god's embrace and owned that he had with his cunning art welded two hearts into one. In St. Louis there were many weddings. Many were pretty; many were prettier, but every connoisseur is persuaded that the prettiest was that of Miss Isabella Morgan and Mr. William James Lockridge at the First Baptist church. Mr. Foster was the groom's best man. The bride, who was formerly one of the city's best teachers, was daintily beautiful in white sere desole. Her long tulle veil extended out to the full length of her train. Carrying a shower bouquet of white roses, she moved gracefully up the aisle and met him who vowed to love and cherish her as long as both should live. The bride was attended by Mrs. Leonard Tuggle, a symphony in blue and white, as matron of honor. The bridesmaids were Misses Marie Pierce and Minnie T. Shores, who were uniformly gowned in white point d'esprit. Matron and maus bore bouquets of white sweet peas. Master Ciarence Hunter carried "the ring" on a white satin cushion, and little Miss Gladys Williams went before the bride strewing flowers like a fairy sowing the good gifts of success and happiness in her untridden path. The ceremony was performed by Rev. R. H. Cole. Subsequently to the soft, sweet strains of Lohengrin's wedding march the happy couple left the altar. Amidst a shower of rice and good wishes they entered their carriage and were driven to the home of the bride, where a pretty reception was held. The house was artistically decorated. The color tones were white and pink. In the dining-room the guests partook of a delicate repast most meet for newly-wedded pairs and those who love them. Friends showered congratulations on the happy couple, whom they had remembered with beautiful and costly gifts. NOTICE. To the Citizens of Mexico and Moberly and Also Rolla, Mo.

It has been many years since his connection with the Palladium, and from the first day to the present time we have had the very highest regards and respect for him. He has been employed in the Missouri Safe Deposit Co. for twenty-one years. He has proven to be one of their trusted employees and his connection with the Central Baptist church for eleven years, and his attention to his Christian duties has won for him the admiration of the pastor and members the highest respect. Out of eleven years as a member of the church he has missed only two Sundays at the Sunday morning prayer meeting and other services of the church. Whenever there was a call for the members of the church Mr. Barnes was chosen as one of the leaders and always brought in the largest amount of money. He has been an officer of the church, and always won the respect and admiration of all. Our dealings with him have proved that a more tuer 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. DEATH OF HENRY BOXLEY DEATH OF HENRY BOXLEY Henry Boxley, the father of Mrs. Alice M. Lloyd, and uncle of Mrs. Alice K. Cannon, departed this life June 19, 1905, at 3:30 p. m. The funeral was held from the home of his niece, 4355 Maffitt avenue, to M. Lebanon Primitive Baptist Church, and thence to St. Peter's Cemetery by Toussaint Lodge, K. of P., and Damonia Court, I. O. O. C. Rev. Kemp Carruthers conducted the services. Resolutions of Damonia Court: We, the Damonia Court, feel that whereas the great and supreme ruler of the universe has in His infinite wisdom removed from among us one of our worthy and esteemed fellow laborers, Henry Boxley, and whereas the intimate relations held with him in the faithful discharge of his duties in this society makes it eminently beftaking that we record our appreciation of him; therefore, be it Resolved, That the wisdom and ability which he has exercised in the aid of our organization by services, contributions and counsel, will be held in grateful remembrance. Resolved, That the sudden removal of such a one from among our midst leaves a vacancy and a shadow that will be deeply realized by all the members and friends of this community. Resolved, That with deep sympathy with the bereaved relatives of the deceased we express our hope that even so great a loss to us all may be overruled for good by Him who doeth all things well. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of this organization, a copy printed in the local paper and a copy forwarded to the bereaved family. With Fond Remembrance. We regret that you have gone and left us, dear one; and, Where's peace and peace shall have no end. Gone, but not forgotten. Something About Our Advertisers.

A Hint to the Wise. Books and boys do not go together. Young ladies are judged by the company they keep. For reasons see farther. Mothers and girls that spend hours at other people's houses. There is something wrong. 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. Girls or young ladies who are on the street two and three hours after night will, some day, shed tears.

GIVEN A BRILLIANT ESCORT France Left Nothing Undone to Make the Event One to Cement Good Will Between the Two Nations. Paris, July 7.—The ceremony of the delivery of the body of Admiral Paul Jones to the representatives of the United States was held, Thursday, in the American church on the Avenue del Alma in the presence of a distinguished gathering of the highest official, military and naval dignitaries of France, the diplomatic representatives of many countries and the special ambassadors and naval authorities sent from the United States to receive the body. The unusual sight of a detachment of United States sailors and marines swinging through the central thoroughfares of Paris aroused great interest, and brought out an enthusiastic ovation along the line of march. The American naval contingent numbered 500 men, with 25 officers, and left Cherbourg in two special trains at 3 a.m., arriving at the Invalides railroad station at 11:40 a.m. In spite of the hard night ride the sailors and marines presented a fine appearance as they emerged from the station. They were uniformed as a landing party, wearing the regulation leggings and carrying rifles with fixed bayonets. A company of French infantry was drawn up fronting the station to receive the Americans. The latter formed in battalion and unfurried the American flag and naval ensign. At the same moment the French troops came to the salute, the French standard was dipped, the French band struck up the "Star Spangled Banner," and the great crowds which had surged across the Alexander bridge shouted "Vive les Americaines, "Vive la France," the entire multitude uncovering respectfully while the American anthen was played. This was followed by the "Marsellaise," amid much enthusiasm. All along the route the streets were lined with dense crowds eager to see the Americans. Women waved their handkerchiefs and miniature" flags, and there was a continuous shout of "Vive les Americaines." Following the exercises in the church the cortege was formed and proceeded along the Avenue De l'Alma, the Champs Elysees, across the Alexander bridge to the Esplanade des Invalides. Republican guards lined each side of the avenues, holding back the dense throngs, while all the converging streets were closed by barriers to prevent a crush. Heading the procession came a squadron of cuirassiers, stretching from curb to curb, with a division of infantry under Gen. Frey. After them rumbled the gun caisson bearing the flower-laden coffin with guards of American sailors on either side. Back of the coffin was a long line of distinguished officials, headed by Ambassador McCormick, special Ambassadors Porter and Loomis, Premier Rouvier and his cabinet, the foreign ambassadors and the French generals and admiral, all walking according to the French custom. The appearance of the detachment of 500 American sailors and marines was the signal for enthusiasm along the line. Last came another French division composed of infantry, cavalry and artillery. Arriving at the Esplande Des Invalids, an inspiring picture was presented. The French government had erected a large pavilion in which to deposit the coffin. The pavilion was richly hung with crimson velvet with martial emblems and battle axes, entwined flags and a row of brass field pieces along the front. Nearby rose the gilded dome of the tomb of Napoleon. The casket was deposited in the center of the pavilion, while the cortege passed, rendering military honors. Later it was borne to the Invalides railroad station and placed in a funeral car, where, guarded by French and American sailors, it started for Cherbourg. Mr. McCormick gave a dinner at the embassy in honor of the visiting American officials. PUBLISHED STORIES DENIED No Trouble on Board the Interned Russian Auxiliary Cruiser at Vallejo, Cal. Vallejo, Cal., July 7.—The officers of the interned Russian cruiser Lena deny the published stories that there is trouble aboard the warship. Some of the men wanted paroles to return to their relatives in Russia, but their request can not be granted at present. The men have been denied shore leave during the present unsettled conditions in Russia. There are absolutely no weapons on the Lena. Russia Also Sends Pokoti'oŁ. Washington, July 7.—In an authoritative quarter it was learned that, in addition to those already selected, Mr. Pokotilloff, Russian minister to China, has been ordered to the United States in connection with the peace negotiations. To be Retired Saturday. Washington, July 7.—Rear-Admiral Whitney, having served for 42 years in the United States navy, will relinquish command of the naval training station at San Francisco and be placed on the retired list July 8. RELIGIOUS MATTERS COMPARING GOOD AND BAD A Little Figuring That May Surprise and Please You When "Down in the Dumps." When we sit under the juniper tree and imagine that the world has all gone wrong and that we might as well just give up and die, suppose we take our pencil and tablet and do a little figuring. Suppose we examine our lives in all their lights and shades. Let us think of the many good things that we have seen and heard; the things that have been pleasant and lovely in our lives; the mercies and favors of every day; the breath we have breathed, the clothes we have worn, the slumbers we have enjoyed, the food we have eaten, the friends we have known, the thousand and one blessings which, because so common, we think of so little. Then let us write down the advantages of schools and what they have done for us; chnrches, and the good they have been to us; books and how they have enlightened us. Let us put down all we can think of that has been pleasant in our lives. Take a day, a week, a year, if need be, then draw a line under the column and add it up. Over against it set down all the mean things we have heard or said; all the unpleasant and sad things, all the dark things and the perplexing; anything that has made the hours of life less hopeful or filled them with less of cheer—the crooked things, the hateful things, the vile the abominable and the wicked things, set them all down, then add them up and see how few they are as compared with those of the happier column. Compare one list with the other and we will be compelled to add one more item to the disreputable column, and that is, our ingratitude for all the abounding and manifold mercies of God. If there are adversities in our lives, and our Heavenly Father knows there are, let us not shut all the doors, pull down the shades and lament that there is no good on earth. But kindly remember in our grief that the whole world is full of the glory of God, and His presence is a guarantee that we shall have our share of it.—United Presbyterian. SUGGESTIVE THOUGHTS A man shows his real self in the way he treats a child.—Ram's Horn. There is nothing in all the world more interesting than a boy.—United Presbyterian. There is no better way to show our trust than to busy ourselves with the dings He asks us to do.—Maltbie D. Babcock. It is while you are patiently toiling at the little tasks of life that the meaning and shape of the great whole of life dawns upon you. It is while you are resisting little temptations that you are growing stronger.—Phillips Brooks. Tears are the dew on the flower of the skies called hope. Weep, my son, but hope, dare to hope. Hoping is the finest sort of courage, and you can never have enough of it. It is not possible to expect too much of God; every anticipation will be infinitely surpassed.—Charles Wagner. Little self-denials, little honesties, little passing words of sympathy, little nameless acts of kindness, little silent victories over favorite temptations—these are the silent threads of gold which, when woven together, gleam out so brightly in the pattern of life that God approves—Canon Farrar. The only wealth is life; the only way to make the best of this world is to make the best of the other. For the two are one. The highest gleams ever through this lower. The pilgrim to the better country is the man who, living or dying, knows the bliss of perpetual youth.—J. Brierley. The best things are nearest—breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things of life—Impressions. "One great value of thinking about others is that we thereby get a rest from thinking about ourselves, which is the chief cause of personal unhappiness. The less a man thinks about himself, the happier, mathematically and inevitably, he is bound to be. To love somebody, to help somebody, even to worry over somebody, is a far more cheerful business than to be shut up to 'His Majesty, myself.' Selfishness always means unhappiness." Ye Shall Live Also. Can you affirm the fact of Christ? If so, you have everything. It is unreasonable to suppose that Christ is not king of immortality. He is not less in Heaven than He was on earth; it is not rational to suppose that the fact of Christ means less in Heaven than it means on earth, and means now; indeed, its power on earth is only the effect and result of its power in Heaven. Do you not think that the name of Jesus would have been dead and buried long ago but for one thing—He is not dead? The fact of Christ and its importance in the testimonies and the experiences of men to-day, spiritual and unspiritual, alike is the reflex and the expression of the unoutted truth that the Christ behind it is living still—R. J. Campbell. **LESSON TEXT.** -Isaiah 38:1-8. **Memory** Verses 4-6. Read all the chapter. GOLDEN TEXT.—"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."—Psalm 46:1. TIME.—About 701 B. C., just before Sennachirb's invasion, and in the fourteenth year of Hezekiah's reign. PLACE.—Hezekiah's palace at Jerusalem. Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 1. "In those days:" A vague expression, meaning "in the time of Hezekiah." In both accounts of Hezekiah's sickness, it is closely associated with the visit of Merodach-baladan, of Babylon. Hezekiah had been reigning 14 years. "Sick unto death:" He was taken with an illness which, according to the view of the times, must prove fatal. It seems probable that he had a carbuncle, located perhaps on the back of his neck. "Came unto him:" As an interested friend and a spiritual adviser, the prophet came to visit the sick king. "Thus saith the Lord:" It was God who guided the prophet in warning the king to be ready for death. "Set thine house in order:" Arrange your worldly affairs as you would do when about to leave them. "Thou shalt die:" This was no fatalistic decree, but a statement that the disease from which the king was suffering was very likely to cause death. V. 2. "Turned his face toward the wall:" That he might shut out all else and be alone with God. Contrast this with Ahab's sullen turning of his face to the wall (1. Kings 21:4). "Prayed unto the Lord;" He expressed himself in the words quoted (v. 3). Hezekiah had learned long before this time to take everything to God in prayer. Though perhaps Isaiah had left the room, we may believe that now, as on another occasion, the king and the prophet were praying together. V. 3. "Remember now, O Lord:" This prayer sounds to us as if Hezekiah were boasting of his goodness, but he did not so intend it. He was simply pleading God's promises. To the best of his knowledge and ability he had loved God and been loyal to Him, and had lived uprightly. People as yet knew very little about future rewards and punishments, and Hezekiah felt that if God were just He would reward him now by a continuance of life. "Hezekiah wept sore." There was personal pain, as well as zeal for God's honor and for his nation's good; and, like a true Oriental, the king made no effort to conceal his emotions. V. 4. "Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah." This was when the prophet, after leaving the king, had come to "the middle court," or "the middle city." (See 2 Kings 20:4.) Jerusalem was built upon two hills, and the prophet had just descended one and was in the valley before ascending the other, when the message came to him. V. 5. "Go, and say to Hezekiah:" What is here given us is an abbreviated form of the message recorded in full in 2 Kings 20:5, 6. "I have heard thy prayer:" God was then, as He is to-day, the hearer and answerer of prayer. He was eager then, as now, to do His children all possible good, but when they neglect to pray to Him, they, as it were, bind His hands so that the good cannot be granted. "I will add 15 years:" Hezekiah is assured first of rapid recovery. "On the third day thou shalt go up to the house of Jehovah:" then of prolonged life. Subsequent history confirms belief that this promise was literally fulfilled. Hezekiah lived to see his son Manasseh reach the age of 12 years. We are told in another account, and, later, in this record of Isaiah (38:21), that, by the prophet's recommendation, a poultice of figs was applied to Hezekiah's carbuncle with beneficent effect. In working out His promise, God did not disdain the use of means, but, by employing such, gave help to many, a sufferer of later times. V. 6. "I will deliver . . . Assyria:" Finding this passage here indicates that Sennacherib's invasion had not yet taken place. The sentence may, however, have dropped out of place in the many copyings of the original manuscript, or it may be regarded merely as a promise that Assyrians would not return to molest Hezekiah or threaten Jerusalem. V. 7. "This shall be a sign:" According to 2 Kings 20:8-11, Hezekiah asked for a sign, and Isaiah gave him his choice, whether the shadow on the dial should go forward ten degrees or backward for the same space. It is observed that, in the age when spiritual light was yet so dim, godly men were not reproached for seeking "signs" to confirm the Lord's will. V. 8. "The dial of Ahaz: " This is the first instrument for measuring time that is mentioned in the Bible. The sun-dial was in use by the Babylonians. Practical Points. V. 1. Death is no respecter of persons.—Fs. 89:48. V. 1. The Christian who is abiding in Jesus needs no preparation for death.—Phil. 1:21. V. 2. We should daily take time to be alone with God.—Matt. 6:6. V. 3. God is pleased to have us plead His promises in prayer.—Isa. 42:26. V. 4. God answers prayers for temporal good as well as for spiritual good, often bringing about the temporal benefit through the spiritual change.—Jas. 5:15.

Princess Clotilde, of Savoy, who married Prince Napoleon, nephew of the great Bonaparte, is living in retirement near Turin, one of the most pathetic figures in modern history. Her eldest son, Prince Victor, dreams of some day becoming emperor of France. Edward Hughes' portrait of Queen Alexandra is considered the best ever painted. On its completion her majesty viewed it closely for some moments, and then said, with a femininity which even royalty could not obliterate. "If fear it flatters me, but that is how I should like to be remembered." The princess of Wied, who is a prominent figure in the court circles of Berlin, and whose husband is in the line of succession to the throne of Holland, has the curious hobby of buying all the ill-used horses that come to her notice and gives them the benefit of a stay in her well-appointed stables, which they usually leave in excellent condition. Queen Christina of Spain, who inherited an immense private fortune from her uncle, the late Archduke Albert of Austria, has for a number of years held some $3,000,000 worth of United States bonds and retained possession thereof even throughout the war of Spain with this country. They are deposited, with the remainder of her holdings of one kind and another, in the Bank of England. When Empress Eugenie visits Paris she almost invariably occupies a suite of rooms facing the Tullieries gardens. Much surprise has been expressed that she should take up her abode in such close proximity to the scene of her triumph long ago, thereby invoking memories which could not be other than bitter. The subject was delicately broached in her presence recently, whereupon the old lady said: "It is perhaps the greatest happiness of my life to look upon the garden where my son played in his childhood—a sad pleasure, if you will, but one I would not forego willingly." BEHIND THE FOOTLIGHTS. Mme. Rejane, the French actress, proposes to establish a French theater in London, at which herself and other French actors will appear two seasons yearly. Sig. Puccini has induced Sig. Glacosa and illisa to write a libretto for an opera based on the life of Queen Marie Antoinette, to be completed in September, for which he will write the music. The late Augustin Daly's copy of Ireland's "History of the New York Stage" was sold in New York last week for $6,664. This work contains complete records of the New York stage from 1750 to 1870. John A. Conquest, father of Ida Conquest, the actress, although worth $500,000, is a laborer packing fish in Boston at two dollars a day. He says he works for the pleasure it affords him and that "work brings health, and that's better than wealth." LITERARY PERSONALITIES. Ibsen is reported to have said that there were three things he could not endure—children, flowers and music. Rider Haggard, the English novelist, traveled about 7,000 miles in his tour of this country, trying to find a location for colonies for his countrymen. Orlando Dalton, of Banbury, N. H., has among his library of old books one volume published 266 years ago entitled "The Mirror Which Flatters Not," written by Sieur de la Serre. A. E. Houseman, professor of Latin in the University college, London, is a writer of verses which have won high praise from able critics. He will not accept remuneration for his work. With the retirement of Edward J. Wheeler from the editorship of the "Literary Digest," Dr. Isaac K. Funk has taken personal charge of the paper, with William S. Woods as his chief assistant. HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, BEARING-DOWN PAINS. A Woman Tells How She Has Become Well and Strong after Years of Misery Due to Irregular Functions. The fact that one woman is bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked, strong and cheerful, while another is pale, weak and depressed, is due more often than otherwise to the regularity in the one case and the irregularity in the other of the functions that are peculiar to the sex. When these are disturbed everything goes wrong; pain and discomfort are felt all over the body; the sensations are often terrifying. "For four years." said Mrs. Davis recently, "I suffered indescribable misery from sick headache every month, accompanied by fainting spells, shortness of breath and severe pain in my left side. There were also bearing-down pains, at times so acute that I could not stand up, and my head was full of ringing sounds. It seemed as if everything was going to hit me in the eyes. I was compelled to lie down with closed eyes for hours to get a little relief. When I attempted to arise everything would whirl around and it would grow so dark that I could scarcely see any object." "Couldn't your doctor help you?" "Five doctors in all treated me, but I got no lasting benefit. Besides I used a lot of advertised remedies. The only medicine, however, that had the desired effect was Dr. Williams Pink Pills and they are truly a godsend to women. I did not have much faith in them when I began to take them. I found myself, however, so much better after using two boxes that I began to believe in them. They checked right away the decline into which I was going. My troubles kept lessening and finally disappeared altogether." "How long did it take for a cure?" "After I had used several boxes my health was all right. I had taken on flesh and was strong and hearty. I felt today in spirits more like a girl of fifteen than a woman of my years." Mrs. C. H. Davis' address is Carmel', Maine, R. F. D., No. 2.

Profits of the Packers There has been a great deal of disappointment because the Garfield report shows that the profits of the packing industry only amount to about two per cent. of the volume of business transacted. There is no doubt, however, that the report is correct. The census reports compiled by the government in 1900, before the agitation regarding the "beef trust" began, throw considerable light on this question. It appears from the census that the packing industry is conducted on a smaller margin of gross profit than any other industry in America. The gross margin of profit of 871 flour and grist mills in Illinois, in the census year, was nearly seven per cent. on the volume of business. The gross margin of fifty-one wholesale slaughtering and meat packing establishments in Illinois was only about one-third as large, or a little more than two per cent. on the volume of business. The millers have not been accused of being in a "trust," and combinations would seem impossible in a business where there are several thousand mills in the United States competing actively for the flour trade, but it appears that the gross profits of the millers are larger than the gross profits of the packers. It may turn out that the agitation regarding the packing industry will show the same result as the devil found in shearing the pig: "All squeal and no wool." ODD FACTS AND FINDINGS. Norway is more correctly Norea, meaning "North Isle." It is commonly spoken of by the natives as the "North Kingdom." "Shagreen," now applied to sharkskin goods, came originally from the Persian word "Saghrl," which means the back of a beast of burden. Although the population of New York is fewer by a good million than that of London, the number of deaths last year in the two cities was practically the same. Bloodbounds are not naturally cruel. Their mission is to track a fugitive, not injure. Those whom they follow are rarely, if ever, torn or injured by the pursuing hounds. An array of statistics has been published to prove the danger of horse traction on our highways. The returns are brought down to the end of the year 1904, the whole period covered being two years and four months, for which period the figures are: 9.567 accidents; 6.935 persons injured; persons killed, 939, or more than one death per day. LASTING RELIEF. J. W. Walls, Superintendent of Streets of Lebanon, Ky., says: "My nightly rest was broken, owing to irregular action of the kidneys.

Swift MacNeill is gaining unsought renown because of the bulls he makes in the house of commons. Not long ago he threw the house into convulsions by saying: "I will now repeat what I have been prevented from saying hitherto." This was shortly after he remarked, in criticising the speech of a cabinet minister: "It is necessary that some notice be taken of the reply which the honorable gentleman did not maka." Frea'rish Bove Bushes. William Beeks, of Shelbyville, Ind, has in his yard quite a curiosity, in the shape of a rose bush with two roses, each being of a different color. The roses are on the same stem and one is perfectly white, while the other is pink. The bush has never been grafted. Last year Mr. Beeks had a bush of American Beauty roses, and on one of the stems were two roses, the stem extending up through the center of one of the roses Shipment of Turtles. Passengers alighting at the No. platform at Waterloo (England) station, recently, found the platform occupied by a long line of West Indian turtles waiting for consignment to a London caterer. The turtles lay on their backs on straw, and were afterward dragged along the platform on their backs by porters who held the front flippers. End Joyful Romance Angela R. Kilbourn and John F. Johnson, of Winsted, Conn., were schoolmates and sweethearts 50 years ago. They quarreled and separated and each married another. Death broke in upon their domestic lives; one became a widow, the other a widower. Recently they met, "made up" the old quarrel and married. Old Turtle Found in Connecticut. N. E. Sears, of Elmwood, Conn., has found a box turtle on his farm marked with the date and initials "O. C., 1835." The initials are supposed to stand for Orson Cadwell, who left Elmwood for Ohio 40 years ago. Another date, 1817, is also carved on the turtle's back, but with no initials to indicate who the carver was. Caution Bill—Why didn't the author of the piece come out and show himself when the audience called for him? Jill—Well, you see, he'd just been getting married, and he's got light eyes. If he went home with black eyes, he was afraid his wife wouldn't know him. Yonkers Statesman. Bird Entertains Kentuckians The entire town of Hawesville, Ky. is entertained daily by the varied songs of a wild mocking bird, perched high on a tree on the Stephens hill, overlooking the town. Its range of notes is little less than marvelous, and it is one of the sweetest songsters ever heard hereabouts. Turtle on Cow's Foreleg Farmer Edmund P. Newell, who lives near Bordentown, N.

On regaining his feet he discovered that the cow had stepped on a turtle, which had fastened itself to her foreleg.

Proved Beyond a Doubt. Middlesex, N. Y., July 3. (Special)—That Rheumatism can be cured has been proved beyond a doubt by Mrs. Betsey A. Clawson, well known here. That Mrs. Clawson had Rheumatism and had it bad, all her acquaintances know. They also know she is now cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it. Mrs. Clawson tells the story of her cure as follows: "I was an invalid for most five years caused by Inflammatory Rheumatism, helpless two-thirds of the time. The first year I could not do as much as a baby could do; then I rallied a little bit and then a relapse. Then a year ago the gout set in my hands and feet. I suffered untold agony and in August, 1903, when my husband died, I could not ride to the grass." "I only took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and in two weeks I could wait on myself and my own wood. I dug my own potatoes and gathered my own garden last fall. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me." Rheumatism is caused by urio acid in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put the Kidneys in shape to take all the urio acid out of the blood.

NO TONGUE CAN TELL How I Suffered with Itching and Bleeding Eczema—Until Cured by Cuticura. "No tongue can tell how I suffered for five years with a terribly painful, itching, and bleeding eczema, my body and face being covered with sores. Never in my life did I experience such awful suffering, and I longed for death, which I felt was near. I had tried doctors and medicines without success, but my mother insisted that I try Cuticura. I felt better after the first bath with Cuticura Soap and one application of Cuticura Ointment, and was soon entirely well. Any person having doubt about this wonderful cure may write to me.

Lion Coffee is a package coffee that reaches the homes of the people just as it left the factory where it is roasted and packed. The beans are picked and carefully selected at the plantation, then shipped direct to our factories to be prepared for home use. The most scrupulous care is taken with every process, and the utmost cleanliness ensured. Men and machinery employed in-making Lion Coffee ready for the market are chosen on account of their excellence and fitness for the work. Some of the results of this scrupulous treatment of Lion Coffee are a delicious flavor, perfect purity, and a uniform strength and quality. All loose (or bulky) coffee is open to doubt to put it mildly. The buyer does not know the solder does not know, where the bean came from, or how it was roasted, or where and when; how many hands handled it, what kind of hands they were, what contamination it received from dust, insects, dirt, etc. Lion Coffee is pure, fresh and clean—that much is certain. Loose coffee—there isn't anything at all certain about it except that wise housewives will not buy it. There will be a very few left who will try to persuade you another way. If they do, just ask them how they account for the increasing popularity of Lion Coffee in millions of homes for the past quarter of a century! You will be a great deal more comfortable if you can reconcile yourself to allow other people to mismanage their own affairs. - Kuck A Hot-Weather Hint: Do you know that the two essentials for good health in hot weather are—keeping the system clean and regular and a tonic for the Stomach and Bowels. Mull's Grape Tonic is a valuable remedy for hot weather. It cleanses the system of all impurities and poisons. It contains nearly 50 per cent. Grape, which is the best hot weather Tonic known. It is an ideal preparation for heat debility and the many dangerous ill prevailing during Summer weather. It fortifies the system thoroughly. Heat prostrations, Summer Bowel and stomach troubles are rare in families where Mull's Grape Tonic is employed. There is nothing so dangerous in hot weather as Constipation, which is the result of the more serious hot weather diseases. Mull's Grape Tonic is the one successful Constipation Cure—a splendid Stomach and Bowel Tonic. It must be harder for a man when his stepchildren have company than it would be if they were his real children.—Atchison Globe. Wonderful Courage Is displayed by many a poor invalid, crushed under the weight of chronic troubles, like constipation, biliacismus, neuralgia, headache, stomach trouble, etc. But such suffering, though brave, is quite unnecessary, for Dr. Caldwell's (laxative) Syrup Pepsin will surely cure all these diseases, drive away all the unpleasant symptoms, and restore every invalid to health.

Two Relate their Experience. Mrs. A.E.G. Hyland in life when woman's great change may be expected. These symptoms are all just so many calls from nature for help. The nerves are crying out for assistance and the cry should be heeded in time. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was prepared to meet the needs of woman's system at this trying period of her life. It invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system. It has carried thousands of women safely through this crisis. For special advice regarding this important period women are invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., and it will be furnished absolutely free of charge. Read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound did for Mrs. Hyland and Mrs. Hinkle: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I had been suffering with falling of the womb for years and was passing through the Change of Life.

Every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time invites disease and pain. When her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy, or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this period likely to become active—and with a host of nervous irritations, make life a burden. At this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inquitetude, and dizziness, are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period Dear Mrs. Pinkham: Given Away "I wrote you for advice and commenced treatment with Lydia E.

To Entertain the Supreme Lodge, K. of P., in August. 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 care and impassioned language, its next biennial session in Pa., promising on their behalf with the generous assistance and 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 Pittsburgh 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 adventure, to the officers and delegates to the Supreme Lodge, and the thousands of visitors who will attend it, in theides of August, that the Pittsburg Knights of Pythias knew what they were talking about when they said: "Come, and we will do the good, and make the happy." The biennial sessions of the Supreme Lodge, 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 pest 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, broaden 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 those 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 welcome awaits all comers. The Grand Lodge committee has established headquarters at No. 1225 Wylie avenue, Pittsburg, Pa. Its committee on accommodation already has quite a list of stopping places recorded, where bed and board can be had, during the session, for $1 per day. Its other committees are equally forward in their work. A special rate, to be announced later, has been secured on all railroads entering the city. But Rome was not built in a day, and all can not be told in one article. More anon, JARTH. WAITRESSES AND WOULD-BE GUESS. WAITRESSES AND WOULD-BE GUESS. Why is it in a first-class Negro cafe that the waitresses are continually brushing their hair while on duty? They will then take up the dishes without even wiping their hands. The waitresses in a first-class Negro cafe seem to think they have the right to be the associate of the guests; they take more liberties with them than their escorts. Again, why don't they wear foot-wear in keeping with the position they fill, and not go bumping through the cafe and around the tables like a horse that is rough-shod. Why will the waiter not be a little more reserved and remember there are other pebbles on the beach? Already Open.

THE PALLADIUM GIVES ITS READERS MORE NEWS THAN ALL THE OTHER RACE PAPERS PUBLISHED IN THE CITY AND STATE. Talk is cheap, and actions speak louder than words. 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 bountheously 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 high, 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.

We see the push on the part of this young man and we believe that success will crown his efforts. This young man has been in St. Louis one year, and from his work and square dealing with all, we look forward to better things. He says that he is here to stay. Go in and you will get a first-class meal. Just like eating at home. That is a consolation for every one to think that his home is the best, and if this young man can satisfy everybody and make them think that they are eating at home, he must be a most wonderful young man, so go and try.
