JOHN Former Pastor of Big U. B. F. AND S. M. T.'S The Grand Lodge of the State of Missouri and Its Jurisdiction Met August 8, at Huntsville, Missouri. Last Tuesday the U. B. F. and S. M. T. met at Huntsville, Mo., and remained in session five days. S. T. Pettigrew, grand master, presided. This was the largest Grand Lodge and Grand Temple that has ever assembled. The Grand Lodge was opened in due form, as was the Grand Temple, with Mrs. Kattie Moore presiding. Mrs. Moore is one of the most self-possessed executives we have ever known. The Grand Lodge appointed a committee to dedicate the hall to the use of our order. The gentlemen appointed to this committee were Reverends M. Clay Goings, Redd, Johnson and Wheeler. The committee performed this duty, and they were then requested to dedicate the Grand Temple. This was done in due form. The Grand Lodge adjourned to meet at 2 o'clock. At the evening session nothing of importance was transacted, only the appointment of the several committees. During the session of the second day quite a deal of business was transacted, and the committee on credentials made a partial report. The new session was very interesting. The deputy grand master, J. H. Coleman, presided at this, the joint session, of the Grand Lodge and Grand Temple. During this session the address of welcome was made by the prosecuting attorney of Huntsville, which was one of the most striking features of the day. His address was congenial in every respect. He gave three striking illustrations—one of David and Jonathan, one of Damon and Pythias, and in the third one he said: "The greatest love and friendship of all was that Christ, the Son of God, did give His life to save the world, and greater love or friendship does not exist." The gentleman made such a lasting impression that, at the close of his address, he was applauded five or ten minutes. Following this eloquent speech was a beautiful choice selection by the choir. Walter M. Farmer was introduced to respond to the welcome address. He did the best he could, giving a statistical account of the order and wealth of a few Negroes. Rev. Chinn, pastor of the Baptist church there, welcomed the order on the part of the Christian churches, which was indeed quite an eloquent and able address. Another brother welcomed the order to Huntsville on the part of the order of U. B. F. and S. M. T., after which another selection was rendered by the choir. Mrs. Rev. McDowell responded in a very enthusiastic address to the sev- LYON'S OPEN ALL NIGHT. My Motto is. Promptness and Gleamlessness. Fresh Fish and Oysters when in Season Oceived Daily.

Her remarks were well rendered, and that vast concourse of people could have listened to her for hours. Mrs. McDowell is indeed among our leading women in Missouri. The reports of the grand master and grand princess were then read and approved. We would be unjust to ourselves if we did not comment upon the able report made by the grand secretary, Mrs. Arlivia Watson. She always comes before the Grand Temple and Grand Ledge with new ideas and her mind laden with new thoughts. This closed the joint session of the second day. On Thursday the routine business was transacted with dispatch. Two o'clock was set for the election of officers. Really there was no contest for office until the election of the board of managers came up. J. W. Wheeler suggested that St. Louis be allowed only one member. At this Mr. Farmer moved that William Rice be nominated. It was then that J. W. Wheeler moved that the board that served last year be-elected. There were objections to this, and it was then we saw the fight. We nominated C. H. Tandy, D. Caston and B. K. Bruce, and Mr. Blanton, of Kansas City, was nominated by Brother Howard, of Independence, Mo. At this point we nominated out ticket, viz.: Tandy, Caston, Bruce and Blanton, and went to work with the intention of electing them, which we did. Mr. Farmer was much cast down at the loss of his pet, and the last we saw of them they were trying to console their defeated candidate like the two friends of Job. All passed off, and the best friendship prevailed. Items from the Grand Lodge. C. P. Agee is not the only man from Sheridan county. Renfro, of Moberly, Mo., and C. P. Agee keep late hours. S. P. Pettigrew has worked hard for the good of the order. "Petticoat" Logan looked as if he had the mark of Cain on him. Vaugh, Renfro, C. P. Agee and J. W. Wheeler had the best place in Huntsville. Mr. C. H. Williams, of Moberly, and C. R. Foster, of Boonville, are very ill at this writing. The U. B. F. and S. M. T. had 80 deaths Each one cost the Grand Lodge $175 U. B. F. AND S. M. T. Just Before the Close of the Grand Lodge the Palladium Man Made a Statement. J. W. Wheeler arose and addressed the grand master, and asked to make a few remarks. He said: "Most Worthy Grand Master and Members—Being the oldest member of this order in mem- CAFE, 319 N. JEFFERSON AVENUE. SUNDAY DINNER. FARE. Red Red Snapper. Ham and East Pork. Roast Chicken.

LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1905. bership, I wish to say I have at all times been loyal to the Grand Lodge and courteous to the members. I did come to ask that this Grand Lodge make The Palladium the official organ of the order, and I know it is the will and sentiment of this Grand Lodge to indorse The Palladium as such, but after I heard the reading of the board of managers' repot, and heard what they paid "Petticoat" Logan last year I said I could not take it for that paltry sum. I thang this Grand Lodge—but rest assured that I am loyal, and if one man or woman makes a threat at the Grand Lodge or its members, The Palladium stands ready to defend the order with its pen." Our words and actions were highly indorsed by the Grand Lodge. Now let the others have a say as to what was done. Odd Fellows' Hall, 2727 Franklin Ave St. Louis, Aug. 15, 1905. cent needed watch from the red man's tomahawk, and in self-abnegation, a patriot of patriots. I affirm the women, noble matrons then as now, suffered no violence at the black man's hand. Let me state that your claim and right are incontestable, pure and legal, to July 4, as also to Emancipation. Both sprang from mighty death throbs, throes and pangs of the American people. The Afro-American is a citizen. This citizenship is based on the constitution. We are American citizens. All national laws, calamities, families, people, individuals are protected by the United States, and the descendants of Washington posterity, the followers of Grant, Lee and Sherman being and composing Africans and Europeans, all people aggregate Americans citizens. All ought to celebrate when the long, long night when slavery died and vanished, ushering the Heaven-born child of LIGHT, FREEDOM CITIZENSHIP. We are members, citizens of these United States. How can I impress you? How arouse from a lethargy borne only for want of information of what this day stands for; what it's true meaning. I desire to arouse in you the high appreciation for liberty, citizenship and the pursuit of happiness, purchased by the richest gift. For Magna Charia liberty and citizenship guaranteed to the Afro-American, to all, without regard to race, color or previous condition.

A monument to the Zion connection have placed upon the head of this inspired black of Santo Domingo. Rare military skill, profound knowledge of human nature, trusting his state to the blood of his sons rather than permit the slave trade in the humbest village of his dominions, anticipating Sir Robert Peel fifty years, and taking his place by the side of Roger Williams before any American or European had won the right. I would call him Cromwell—no; Cromwell was only a soldier, and the state he formed went down with him into his grave. I would call him Washington—no; the great Virginian held slaves. I would call him Napoleon—no; Napoleon made his way to empire through broken oaths and through a sea of blood. But Toussaint never broke his word. England had her Hampden, France her Lafayette, Rome her Caezar, but fifty years hence, when TRUTH gets a hearing, the muse of history will take Phocian for the Greeks, Hampden for England, Lafayette for France, choose George Washington as the consummate flower of America's earlier civilization. Then, pausing with the pen of fame dipped in the ambozial river's scintillating water, write in the clear blue above them all the name Toussant L'Overture, the statesman, the martyr and soldier. I would persuade you by hallowed shades of our ancient ancestor, Go forward, onward, and know that the darkness and gloom is just before day." Meeting adjourned after benediction, and all partook of a palatable ice cream luncheon. Meeting in committee Saturday, ex executive room, 1325 Chestnut street. L. G. B. DAVIS. Secretary. Listen!

L. Washington, "The Wonderful Boy Preacher and Evangelist," assisted by Rev. W. H. Davis, of this city, held a camp meeting at Salem Baptist church, Upper Alton, Ill., Sunday, Aug. 14th. Preaching at 11 a. m. by Rev. W. H. Davis. Subject: "He Is Called Wonderful." The sermon was an able and logical one, and the 200 or more people, white and colored, that were present, seemed to enjoy the forceful argument. Preaching at 3 p. m. by J. L. Washington. Subject: "Faith." He swayed the people with his God-given gift of oratory. The meeting was interrupted at night by a tremendous downpour of rain. The meeting was successful, however, and the whites of the neighborhood are anxious to have the lad appear at their church. Rev. Solomon Griswold, pastor. Baptist Women in Missionary Convention. The women's missionary convention at the Central Baptist church was largely attended yesterday, there being twenty-one missionary circles represented. A visitor was Rev. A. W. Moss, of Tyler, Tex., a delegate to the recent Baptist convention in London, England. A paper on "A Forward Look," read by Miss Sarah Jackson, of South St. Louis, was the subject of much discussion. Committees were appointed. Miss G. G. Braun, of this city, read a paper on "The Advantage of Early Scripture Training." Last evening Rev. W. D. Venable preached the annual sermon.—Globe-Democrat. In Honor of Miss Eureka Martin. Mrs. C. Jones, of East St. Louis, Ill., entertained quite a number at dinner in honor of Miss Eureka Martin, who is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Collins. The dinner was one of those old-fashioned New England ones, and was highly enjoyable. Those present were: Mrs. Callie Diggs, Mrs. S. A. Collins, Misses Eureka Martin, Beatrice Randolph, Mrs. Julia Stewart, Mrs. Matie Piron and Messdnez Brown. Miss Randolph furnished music for the occasion. Wait, friends, and come and go with us.

ARE TREADING MINED GROUND The Envoys, At the Close of the Day, Appeared in Melancholy Mood Over the Lack of Results For the Session. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 18. If all did not go smoothly in the conference chamber Thursday, the subjects under discussion were wholly responsible for the lack of harmony, for the weather could not have been more nearly perfect. And for the first time the weather failed accurately to indicate the trend of the negotiations. The first few days of the conference went smoothly, harmony reigned and the weather was excellent. Saturday was a wretchedly hot day, the mosquitoes were especially vigorous, and Sakhalin was the subject under discussion. Not until late in the afternoon did the atmosphere cool, and almost simultaneously the plenipotentiaries, before adjourning their afternoon session, set aside this troublesome article to be finally discussed at a later meeting. Monday and Tuesday were difficult days in the conference room and cold and disagreeable out of doors. The glorious sunshine which poured itself out on the envoys as they started to the navy yard Thursday morning seemed to give them hope in the face of the critical problem with which they were to wrangle. All four of the plenipotentiaries started away in excellent spirits. Their return was in a striking contrast. The weather had, for the first time, failed in its prophecy. The envoys were apparently too melancholy over the result of their two long sessions—or rather the lack of results—to enjoy to the full gorgeous sunset or the rilke home through the twilight. The Japanese hastened to their apartments, and in a few minutes half a dozen secretaries were busily preparing cablegrams which could hardly clear the wire before the early morning hours. Mr. Takahira dined in his room. Baron Komura dined in the main dining room with Mr. Sato and Mr. Denison, but he did not linger over his coffee, and the conversation of the men seemed to drag. Mr. Witte and Baron Rosen did not have an opportunity to reflect upon the failures of the day's sessions. They had barely time to dress and get to the Niles cottage, a mile away, where the third assistant secretary of state and Mrs. Peirce gave them an official dinner. But the darkest hour is just before the dawn and there is still hope. Predictions of a final rupture certainly will not be justified unless Baron Komura figuratively picks up his hat and announces that it is useless to proceed further. Mr. Witte at least will not be precipitate. At to-day's session, after article 2 (the limitation of Russia's sea power in the far east) and article 12 (fishing rights on the Russian littoral) are disposed of, he will favor an adjournment until Monday to hear the last word from St. Petersburg. The exchange of views on article 9 (remuneration for the cost of war) showed at once the plenipotentiaries were as far apart as the poles and it was passed over. Article 10 (the surrender of the intered Russian warships) was also passed, not, in the opinion of one of the plenipotentiaries, because it could not have been arranged, but because with the shadow of the two main points in dispute hanging over the conference, both sides were cautious and preferred to postpone it to the end. Article 2 (limitation of sea power) is also adjustable after modification, and article 12 will present no difficulty. So that the situation is practically where it was when Mr. Witte, last Saturday, presented the Russian reply with its non-possumus to articles 5 and 9 (indemnity and Sakhalin). The only chance now is compromise. HAYASHI IS OPTIMISTIC. The Japanese Minister in London Believes There Will Be n Treaty. London, Aug. 18.—Baron Hahashi, Japanese minister to Great Britain, declared that the pessimistic dispatches from Portsmouth were not worthy of consideration. "If the war continues," said he, "our forces will capture Vladivostok and Harbin, taking by force territory of greater value than the payments demanded by Japan, after which our army will intrench an advantageous line, from which it will require treble the number of the enemy to dislodge us. "We do not fear the threat proclaimed in inspired articles that the war will become popular in Russia. Even if it should, how can the vast army necessary to drive us back be sustained by a government that is unable to obtain foreign loans, while its attempts at home meet with only partial success, and famine and disaffection threaten the country." Baron Hayashi said that the plenipotentiaries on both sides possessed full power to conclude peace, and that the ratification of the terms would only be a matter of formality. He added that he had been receiving full advices of the proceedings daily. ASMASHING OF NAVAL METAL Chicago, Pulled Off After Grounding on Angel Island, Crashes Into the Bennington's Bows. San Francisco, Aug. 18.—The cruiser Chicago, flagship of the Pacific squadron, flying the flag of Admiral Goodrich, went around close to the lighthouse and fog signal station on Angel island in this harbor. She came up from San Diego with the disabled gunboat Bennington in tow and accompanied by the navy tug Fortune. A strong ebb tide was running, and in the current the tow line on which the Bennington was trailing, parted. Before her headway could be stopped, the Chicago ran her bows upon the beach. The Bennington, on her momentum, sailed up close to the stern of the stranded vessel before her anchors took hold. The tug Fortune soon got a line to the Chicago and succeeded in pulling her clear of the bottom, but when she came off she took a sheer that sent her straight for the anchored Bennington. The current of the tide carried her down across the bow of the anchored vessel, and there was a smashing of metal when they came together. Then the two vessels, afoul of each other, went drifting on the tide. Both were considerably damaged. APPLYING EXCLUSION LAW Ideas Advanced by Speakers on Oriental Trade at the Transmississippi Congress. Portland, Ore., Aug. 18.—That the better class of Chinese are discriminated against to an unwarranted extent, that a less stringent administration of the exclusion law, or, if necessary, a limited reconstruction, is advisable, was urged by the speakers on oriental trade at the second day's session of the trans-Mississippi commercial congress. These ideas were brought out with especial force by Hon. John Barrett, United States minister to Colombia, and by Theo. B. Wilcox, president of the congress. HUTCHINSON, KAS., TRAGEDY Mrs. Medina Wells, a Widow, Kills William Burch, to whom She Was Engaged, and Suicides. Hutchinson, Kas., Aug. 18.—Mrs. Media Wells, a widow, shot and killed William Burch, to whom she was engaged to be married, at her home in this city, and then killed herself by firing three shots into her breast. Burch, who boarded with Mrs. Wells, was killed as he lay asleep on a couch. No cause is known for the shooting, as there had been no known estrangement between the couple. Burch was 48 years of age, and was car superintendent of the Hutchinson Street Railway Co. Mrs. Wells is survived by a son and a daughter, and Burch leaves a son. WENT THROUGH OPEN DRAW Between Twenty and Thirty Negroes, of an Excursion Party, Killed and Others Injured. Norfolk, Va., Aug. 18.—Between twenty and thirty negroes, occupying the first car of an Atlantic Coast line excursion train from Kingston, N. C., to this city, were killed or injured six miles from this city. The train, consisting of the engine and six coaches, plunged through an open draw of the bridge at Bruce station. It is difficult as yet to estimate the number of the dead. It is believed that every person in the first car perished, none having yet been accounted for. With the exception of the train crew and the promoters of the excursion, all aboard were colored. The engineer, fireman and conductor escaped. BRITAIN AND GERMANY The Two Great Nations Said to Be Neaxing the Point of Open Rupture. Berlin, Aug. 18.—The air is full of rumors that the relations between Great Britain and Germany have recently been on the point of breaking to an extent beyond the knowledge of the public. Precisely what happened has not been learned, but a serious situation has existed; indeed, it is understood it has not yet been dissipated. The British government appears to hold the conviction that the German emperor seeking to form a European combination against Great Britain. REMARKABLE FECUNDITY The Hawaiian Wife of a Chinese Gives Birth to Seven Children—All Are Dead. Honolulu, Aug. 18.—A dispatch by wireless telegraph from Hilo says that Hana, the Hawaiian wife of Kailua, a Chinese, gave birth to one child last Thursday, two on Sunday, one on Monday, two on Tuesday morning and one on Tuesday night. All are dead. Bryan Talks at Peoria. Peoria, Ill., Aug. 18.—"Yes, I shall certainly visit the Philippines, and I may unearth something that will be interesting," said William J. Bryan, while waiting for a train here. He refused to state whether he would use the information he collected for campaign purposes. Energy the Best Negro Help.

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 on wind. J. W. WHEELER. Happenings in Missouri. Wolves Near Rothville. Big gray wolves seem to be getting more numerous, and their depredations are more daring than ever in the vicinity of Rothville. That section is well settled up, and wild animals have always been as scarce there as elsewhere in North Missouri, until parties began raising large herds of sheep. Then the pests seemed to increase wonderfully and many of the citizens think they came from other parts of the country. Several flock owners have lost considerable numbers of sheep, and a reward of $20 is offered for the scalp of every adult wolf killed in either Yellow Creek or Salt Creek townships. Railroad Assessments Increased. The assessed valuation for the taxes for the year 1905 of the railroad, bridge, telegraph and telephone properties in the state, as made by the state board of equalization, shows the grand total to be $136,000,000. The assessments of the railroad, bridge, telegraph and telephone companies is more than $5,000,000 larger than last year. Of this increase more than $4,000,000 is levied against the railroad companies, with an increase exceeding $1,000,000 against the telegraph and bridge properties. Missouri Railway Chartered. The Pineville & Northern Railway company, with a capital stock of $50,000 has been chartered by the secretary of state. The main office of the company is in Pineville. The road to be constructed and operated will extend from Pineville to Monett on the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad, a distance of 40 miles, through McDonald, Newton and Barry counties. Open Up New Resort. Semi-official announcement has been made that the Missouri Pacific railway would establish a new summer resort at Medical Springs, a small town on the White river road, one mile west of Galena, Stone county. It is known that Col. W. H. Phelps, counsel for the Missouri Pacific, has for some time had option on a 150-acre tract surrounding Medical Springs. Masons Lay Cornerstone. The laving of the cornerstone of the $50,000 Science hall of the Kirksville normal school took place under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity. Judge Leroy Valliant, grand master of Masons in Missouri, was ill and unable to be present, and at his request Dr. G. A. Goben, deputy grand master, officiated. To Contest Normal Location. Stanberry and Savannah are preparing to contest Maryville's right to location of the normal school. The commissioners in favoring the town making next to the smallest donation created some prejudice in the minds of the people of the district. Missouri Endeavorers' Election. The county convention of Christian Endeavorers, held at Wellsville, adjourned to meet next year at Jonesburg. The following officers were elected: President, George Rixey, Jonesburg; vice president, Roy Marlow, Montgomery City. Fell 175 Feet in a Shaft Frank Adams, 30 years old, a miner of Oronogo, fell to his death as he was being hauled out of the Mohart mine car at the ice plant at Webb City. He was within four feet of the top of the shaft when the strap broke, causing him to fall 175 feet. Thunder Caused Boy's Death. Otto Smith, a 13-year-old lad, died at Mexico under peculiar circumstances. He was playing in the yard when there was an unusually loud clap of thunder and before the sound of it ceased he lay dead. He was recovering from a serious illness. Fatal Wreck Near Hancock. An unidentified tramp was killed in the derailment of several cars of a Frisco freight train a half mile west of Hancock. The wreck was due to a broken wheel. Several cars, one of which was filled with mules, were overturned. To Take Vote on Lid.

A Missouri Man President. Prof. Charles Smith, who for the last 14 years has been teacher of history in William Jewell college, has been elected president of Mercer university in Macon, Ga. Hartville Incorporates. A petition to incorporate Hartville was presented to the county court of Wright county by a majority of the citizens, and the request was granted. The court appointed officers for the remainder of this year. Four Horses Perish in Fire. The barn of John Kirchhoff, nine miles southeast of California, was struck by lightning and burned with all its contents, including four head of horses, feed and a lot of farming machinery. The loss is about $1,000. For the New Court Building. The supreme court commission has awarded the contract for the erection of the new supreme court building to the Hill-O'Mera Construction company of St. Louis for $176,000. The building is to be erected of hydraulic pressed brick and Ste. Genevieve stone. The original bid of the Hill-O'Mera Construction company was $277,500 and it was awarded the contract for $176,000. The Ste. Genevieve stone is the same as that used in the construction of the state capital building and the Eads bridge at St. Louis. The erection of the new building is to begin immediately and is to be completed by January 1, 1907. Farmer Assaults Conductor. Farmer Assaults Conductor. Jesse Crew, a farmer, residing near Longwood, cut and dangerously wounded Conductor J. H. Lafferty, in charge of the Lexington train on the Missouri Pacific.

He says he is subject to epileptic fits, and was suffering, but conscious, when the conductor stopped the train and put him off. Later he armed himself and assaulted Lafferty. Boone County Orders Tax Election. The Boone county court has ordered a special election September 30, for the purpose of placing a direct tax for building a new court house at Columbia. It is expected to raise $100,000, the tax to extend over three years. A proposition to issue bonds recently failed because it was declared that the county could raise $100,000 without resorting to a bond issue. The present proposition is expected to carry. Carthage Votes School Bonds. Additional bonds to the amount of $30,000 have been voted to finish and furnish the new four-story stone high school building at Carthage on which $75,000 voted two years ago has already been expended in its construction, by a vote of 4 to 1.

We wish to say, we have worked hard for 20 years to make the Palladium what it is, and we have the confidence of all the people we do business with.

The Southern Sunshine Home or Hendersonville, N. C., has sent me an urgent call for help for the poor and destitute yellow fever refugees, to whom all its new cottages and parks have been opened. The At Home Sunshine branch has sent in an iron bed, mattress, springs, cot, eight sheets and one dozen towels.

The equestrian statue of Fernando De Soto, which occupied a commanding position on Plaza St. Louis at the World's fair, now stands in Cardon-delet park. The statue has been painted a bronze color and treated with preservatives. The statue is the work of Charles Henry Potter, an artist who stands foremost among American sculptors. Aside from the statue of De Soto he collaborated with Daniel Chester French in the equestrian statue of Gen. Hooker and Gen. Washington, which stands in the Sculpture court of the Palace of Fine Arts. De Soto is conceived as saluting the great Father of Waters. His hat is in his right hand. The action is admirably expressed, and the excellence of execution places the work among the great equestrian statues of the world. Karl T. F. Bitter, chief of sculpture of the Louisiana Purchase exposition, selected this statue as one of the pieces of sculpture which should be preserved. Frank.

We hope this will get you to see clear: 1. Subscribers who do not give ex- press notice to the contrary are con- sidered as wishing to continue sub- scriptions. 2. If subseribers order the discon- tinuance of their periodicals, the pub- lisher may continue to send them un- til all arrearages are paid. 3. If subseribers 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 discon- tinued. 4, If the subscriber moves to another place without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former trectons 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_re- | sponsible until an express notice with Payment of arrearage is sent to the | publisher, |_7. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper pubHshers can arrest |anyone for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the man who allows his subscrip- tion to run along for some time, un- paid, 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, ete.

A smail temporary gymnasium will be installed in the basement, dumb bells, parallel bars and chest- weights will probably be put in as the fifSt equipment. The second room in the basement will be used for shower baths and locker rooms. The first floors will be used as parlors, reading room and assembly hall. The large en- trance hall will be utilized as a recre- ative room, Here the secretary plans to have his much-talked-about eastern game, shuffle board, which he pre- dicts will be the strongest feature of the social work. On the second floor will’ be the general secretary's office. Bible class and evening class work will be held on this floor. The third floor will be used exclusively for dormitory purposes. In the planning and ar- rangement of the rooms and the work to be undertaken the underiying prin- ciple has been the adaptability of the association to the needs of the young men of the community, to provide the means by which a young man can take care and develop his body, improve his mind by study and: good reading, find companions that will uplift and inspire and not destroy and degrade. To fill the place in the community as it should, (0 measure up to the opportu- nities presented the association needs the help and assistance of the people of St. Louis.

On the Grand Officers of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. by furus Logan, Better Known as Petticoat Lo- a We noticed an article in a little pat- tern sheet called the Professional World, which claims to be the official organ of the order of U. B. F. and S M. T., publish the most disgraceful article about the officers of the order. If a lodge cam hold such an unworthy man in its lodge, then that lodge is not loyal to the Grand Lodge. This man, Logan, better known as Pettl- ecat Logan, is nothing more than a tool in a white man’s hands. ‘We published an article some months ago about this interloper, who goes around like a senator with gum shoes on, and when he appears in a school room all the teachers are, or cught to be, nervous, because he is looking for the scalps of some one of the teachers. He claims to be the edi- tor of the Professional World, but no man can edit a paper who is known to be a hindrance to the public good. Flow in the world can a man claim to be the official organ of am order, and the first issue that appeared before the order contained a criticism of the same? So far as The Palladium is concerned about any paper, its object is to do right and be an honor to the race that it represents. If this man should get to the Grand Lodge, the members of the order should point him out as “there is the man that is a ter- ror to teachers.” For Sale. ‘We keep on hand several wonderful remedies.

White leather belts and shoes are not unalloyed joy, for they're constant- ly getting dirty, and, like everything else white, they must be irreproach- ably white to be acceptable. Gasoline cleans them more easily than anything else—belts regularly washed in it, or rubbed with a cloth wet in gasoline, and shoes cleaned by the iatest method. If you use the purified gasoline, that unpleasant odor about cleaned things, often noticeable when they've been most carefully aired, will be avoided. And be careful about the use of gaso- line—a warning that can’t be too often repeated—don't rub too briskly, or the friction will result in an explosion, nor in a room where there is an artificial light or a fire. Freckles. A simpie lotion for the annihilation of freckles is made by combining one dram of borax, one-half fluid ounce of diluted acetic acid, one-half fiuid ounce ef rose water. Apply at night. When freckles are decidedly cbstinate a good proprietary bleach can now be bought and will do away with freckles without Separating one from one’s face—after the mazner of some bleaches, To Remove Pimples, Pimples on the face or any part of the body are most unclean and unpleas- ant, Bathe your arms with tepid salt water, using flesh brush, drying and rubbing afterward with listerine. This will surely heal the wretched little Motches and bumps. Velvet Ribbon Trimming Particularly is» velyet ribbon for trimming in-bigh esteem: DICTATES OF FASHION. Some Notes on Dame’s Decrees That Are Followed at Tail-End of the Season. __A coffee colored pongee is a useful thing to buy for an outing. It is made with full skirt laid in three or four deep tucks around the foot. There are embroidered dots in navy blue and there is a deal of English eyelet work, Big holes are profusely embroidered in blue wash siik, A deep blue silk pettl- coat is worn underneath the dress, let- ting the color show through, The waist is a mass of tucking and navy blue embroidery. Chiffon hats are scarce and’ appar- ently nobody seems to care, but chit: fon and maline are used with charm- ing effect when combined with straw and lace. Plateaux are among the most favored styles, as they admit of so many artistic curves and angles. Some are built on frames, others where the placgue effect is desired on @ bandeau. Horsehair, crin, chip, milan, lace -braids, besides muslin and linen are among the materials employed for the plateau hat. A smart little frock seen lately was a sort of old rose taffeta. The skirt just escaped the ground and was gath- ered just once at the waist line, most of the gathers being at the back and only a few at the front. Six inches above the deep hem of the skirt was a three-inch, flat puff of the silk, bor- dered on each edge with an inch-wide double plaiting of the silk, and eight inches above this was another similar puffing. The top looked like a bolero with sleeves; it was really one of the shaped capes, so cut that the side sec- tions fall in deep points over the arms and in at each side. One of the newest devices in the way of lingerie ought to be widely adopted. This is none other than a silk flounce, India or taffeta, to button on a white petticoat at the knee. In the shops a few of these, with triple pinked flounces, are to be purchased, but the more. satisfactory ones of chiffon taf- feta have been made to orler. The advantages of the attached ruffle are first of all coolness, and the lightness | which comes of dispensing with one | petticoat. The economy of the fa:hion is another strong recommendation. /One may have several matching | flounces to one petticoat. TO SAVE THE DRESS. This Sensible Garment Is Recom- mended for the Young Girl at Studio or Cooking Class. Holland er linen should be used for this overall, which will be found very useful for girls taking cookery lessons; or it is suitable for studio wear. It has a deep square yoke, which is in double material. The skirt part, which is full, is honeyeombed at the top, and is set between the double edge of yoke. The foot is turned up with a hem twe inches wide, and is machine-stitched twice. Into the armholes of the yoke strane are fixed. two lone and twe ih Ue AN short into each.

V. 21. “So:” Because King Jehoia- kim was interested, or at least aroused, by what some of his coun- solors had just told him. They had found him in the inner court of the palace, and had reported how Baruch had just read in publie the words of the prophet Jeremiah. ‘Sent . . . to fetch the roll:” The roll of parch- ment on which the prophecy was writ ten had becn left in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, where the state documents were kept. The princes evidently thought that a verbal report of its contents would satisfy the king, but he decided that he would hear it for himself. V. 22. “Winterhouse:” ‘The lower apartment of the palace. This was roofed and sheltered, and was com- monly used in cold weather, while the upper apartments, being more open, were usod in summer. “On the hearth:” Better in Rev. Ver., “in the brazier:” a fire-pan holding burning charcoal to warm the room. Modern stoves with hearths were unknown at that date. V. 23, “Leaves:” A manuscript was divided into columns, here spoken of as leaves. “He cut it with the pen- knife:” The king took the roll from Jehudi, and also took the knife which this seribe carried for sharpening his reed pens. He cut the roll into bits, throwing the pieces deliberately into the fire until the whole was consumed. V. 24. “Yet they were not afraid:” Jeremiah, who writes these words, cannot refrain from expressing his as- tonishment at the hardness of their hearts. “Nor rent their garments:” As King Josiah had done (See Lessin 7). “Nor any of his servants:” The King’s personal attendants, like him- self, were unmoved by what they heard. V. 25. “Elnathan, Delaiah and Ge- mariah:” Princes who had reported the reading to the king. 3 V. 26. “To take Baruch . . . and Jeremiah:” To arrest and imprison them. This is what the princes had forescen would happen if the kiug’s heart was not touched by the warning. They had counseled Baruch and Jere- miah to hide. “The Lord hid them:” Perhaps He used human friends to do this. Jeremiah is not heard of for sev- eral years after this date. It Is com- monly supposed that it was at this ‘time he was guided to the Euphrates, more than 200 miles distant, to hide the linen girdle (Jer. 13). V. 27. “The word of the Lord came ‘0 Jeremiah:” Though the prophet was, in a sense, exiled from home and friends, the Lord was still with him. V. 28. “Write the former words:” The book, of which no copy existed, and which no human memory could reproduce, was preserved by God's in- spiring the prophet to rewrite it. V. 29. “Say to Jeholakim:” The prophet was not directed to come into the presence of the king who sought his life, but merely-to add to his prophecy these words concerning him. “Come and destroy:” Babylon's king had once visited Jerusalem as its conqueror and he will come again as its destroyer. 'Y. 30. “None to sit upon the throne of David:” On the death of Jehoia kim, his son Jehoiachin was nominal king of Judah for three months, then was deposed by Nebuchadnezzar and carried to spend the remainder of his life in Babylon. “Body cast out:” (See Jer. 22:19.) We haye no record of the fulfillment of this prophecy, but it seems that Jehoiakim was slain either by his subjects, or by Baby: Jonians. V. 31. “Will punish him:” The literal reading, “I will visit upon him,” gives a better idea of God's mode of dealing with His sinful chil- aren. V. 32. “Gave it to Baruch . . . who wrote:” The second roll was prepared just.as the first had been. We are glad to know definitely just how one book of the Bible was given. It probably gives us a hint of how other Prophetical writings were pre pared. i. Practical Points, ~~ V. 21, Each should examine God's Word for himself—Act 17:21. V. 28.

We have been so constituted that what is near to us appears larger and asstimes undue importance, at any rate ‘an importance out of proportion to its real value as compared with other things. For example, there may be near my house a brick wall and a poor one at that; and perbaps in the dis- tance rises a beautiful range of moun- tains. Placed side by side the one is nothing but an insignificant and crumbling heap of rubbish, while the bills rise in eternal beauty and grand- eur. And yet to me that brick wall may mean more attention and more thoughtthan the far-away mountains. Because of its nearness it enters more into iny life. ‘The same fact is noticed in our spir- itual life. What is near looms large and seems important, but what is dis- tant seems unreal and indistinct. ‘This world with its prizes seems worth striving for, while eternal realities and joys seem too far away to influence our lives. Side by side, at their real valua- tion, this world is utterly, unthink- ably, insignificant. How then are we to be freed from this evil mistake, this er- ror of perspective? God has given us a power by which we may correct it, the power of imagination, writes A. H. Henderson, in Service. Not imagina- tion wild and unruled, but imagination led by knowledge. I sit in my little room with its four bare walls, alone; I close my eyes and instantly am a thotsana miles away. Iam at home with my arms about my wife and my children at my knee. I hear their sweet voices and feel the little arms about my neck, My beautiful home is nearer to me than those four bare walls of my room, Distance is an- nihilated and I see things as they are. Is such a power to lie dormant and the doors to the future life forever shut? Can we not at times shut our eyes to our puny business and look along the endless vistas of eternity until we realize the transitoriness of everything here? Cannot our -eyes gaze upon that unspeakable glory, until as we look on the glitter of the world, we shall know it for the tinsel which shines but for a moment? Shall we not feed upon those overftow- ing joys until we lose our taste for the comparatively insipid and taste- less joys of earth? May we not tive with our Saviour until His beauuful face shines fairer before us than all earth's beauty, His sweet yoice claims more attention than any siren song. His almighty arm is more real than every difficulty, and His comfort thrills our soul deep below the reach of care or turmoil? BLASTS FROM RAM'S HORN, Working is the best way of watch- ing. Success is not looking around for the man who sighs, The largest results of any work are seen in the worker. Better humility through adversity than pride. through prosperity. You cannot tell much about a man’s heart by the size of his hat, This life would be impossible with- out the possibility of another life. There is always a good reason for the other fellow’s troubles,—Ram’s Horn. The only things that give us happi ness are those into which we put ow hearts. It takes a very little of the world to satisfy the man who is satisfed with God. There's something wrong with a man when his piety provokes every- one else to profanity. In the Valley of the Shadow” Silence and shadow there may ba for the believer, standing in the thick- ening mists of the valley, with the chill of death upon his face, but he {s not alone, nor is he in the dark, when the solemn hour comes, for the Great Companion is He who liveth, and was dead, and is alive for evermore, and He hath said: “I will not leave you desolate, I come unto you.” And so we catch David's mote in the Shepherd’s Psalm: “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me.” It is a veritable “ship of stars,” in which the Christian voyager sails out upon the dark waters. We find one of Joha’s singularly suggestive words in his account of the siorm that overtook the disciples upon the sea- “It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.” It is surely sug. gestive of a Divine antithesis: there is light on all the bosom of the dark. ness when Jesus comes.—Rey.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Rests Upon the Fact that If Really Does Make Sick Women Well Thousands upon thousands of American women have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Their letters are on file in Mrs. Pinkham's office, and prove this statement to be a fact and not a mere boast. Overshadowing indeed is the success of this great medicine, and compared with it all other medicines and treatment for women are experiments. Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound accomplished its widespread results for good? Why has it lived and thrived and done its glorious work for a quarter of a century? Simply and surely because of its sterling worth. The reason no other medicine has even approached its success is plainly and positively because there is no other medicine in the world so good for women's ills. The wonderful power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over the diseases of womankind is not because it is a stimulant—not because it is a palliative, but simply because it is the most wonderful tonic and reconstructor ever discovered to act directly upon the uterine system, positively curing disease and displacements and restoring health and vigor. Marvelous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures, and physicians who have recognized the virtue in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and are fair enough to give credit where it is due. If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in severe cases of female ills, as they know by experience that it will effect a cure. Women who are troubled with painful or irregular menstruation, backache, bloating (or flatulence), leucorrhoea, falling, inflammation or ulceration of the uterus, ovarian troubles, that "bearing-down" feeling, dizziness, faintness, indigestion, nervous prostration, or the blues, should take immediate action to ward off the serious consequences and be restored to health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Anyway, write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for advice. It's free and always helpful. Their First Cloud.

Some said it was Lumbago, others Sciatica, and others again Rheumatism. A few of my friends suggested that it was lead poison, but whatever it was it gave me a great deal of pain, in fact, almost completely crippled me. I had to use two canes to walk about, and even then it was a very painful task. I needed me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and I began the treatment. After I had used the first box I was able to throw away one of the canes and was considerably improved. The second box straightened me up so that I could go about free from pain without any assistance, and very soon after I was completely cured, well and happy, without a pain or an ache. Dodd's Kidney Pills seemed to go right to the spot in my case, and they will always have my greatest praise." International.

Some Essentials to the Comfort of the Patient. In arranging the sick bed the two essential things to be thought of are the comfort of the patient and, after that, the convenience of the nurse. The bedstead should be firm, light and simple. If it is firm, it cannot be easily jarred; if it is light, it can be easily moved; and if it is simple, it can be easily kept clean. All these requirements are met in the plain iron bedstead, which has the additional advantage that its width and height are adapted both to the needs of the patient and the convenience of the nurse. If the bedstead is light, it is better to have only the head-end provided with castors, otherwise the bed will move too easily. By lifting the foot end off the floor the bed can be moved and guided without causing the patient the least discomfort. The mattress should be sufficiently soft and yielding to be perfectly comfortable for the patient, but not so yielding as to allow his body to sink into it. It is very difficult to make a sick person comfortable on a saggy mattress. Feather beds should never be used in cases of sickness. They are uncomfortable for the patient, it is impossible to keep them clean, almost of necessity they keep the patient's body unnecessarily warm and they are extremely inconvenient for the nurse. To prevent the mattress from becoming soiled, a good-sized piece of waterproof material—preferably a rubber blanket—should be smoothly spread over it before the under sheet is put on. This sheet should be large enough to be securely tucked under the edges of the mattress, and the greatest care should be taken to smooth out all the creases. The pillows should be thoroughly aired at least once a day, and whenever the pillow slip becomes soiled, or damp with perspiration, a clean one should be substituted. Changing and shaking up the pillows when they have become hard and mussed is a small service, but very refreshing to the patient. The covering for the sick bed—other than the top sheet—should vary according to the temperature of the room, the nature of the sickness, the feelings of the patient and the season of the year. Whatever these conditions, the covering should be as light as is consistent with the comfort of the patient.—Youth's Companion. PILOT FOR AN EMERGENCY. Tells Examiners What He Would Do In a Tight Fix. There was a party aboard the boat and the members were telling stories about civil service reform. Everybody had told of some preposterous questions excepting the old salt at the wheel. He had puffed his clay pipe in silence and listened. There was a moment or two of quiet after the last story, and the old salt spoke up. "Never he-er o' civil service regardin' th' pilotin' business, didja?" he demanded. "Never did," said two or three of the party. "Well, we got it," said the old salt; "got it bad, too. You fellers been talkin' about fool questions, what'd ja think' o this here one that was asked me when I war up t' pass? They says t' me, they says: 'Now, assume there war a fog thicker'n any fog there ever was, they says; 'n' supposin' you war in command, 'n' you suddint he-erd a whistle dead ahead, they says, 'n' then, they says, 'you he-erd a whistle on your port bow n' then you he-erd a whistle on your scabbard bow, n' then you he-erd a whistle on your port quarter n' then you he-erd a whistle on your stabbord quarter n' then you he-erd a whistle dead astern, they says, 'n' you couldn't see nothin', what wouldja do? they says." The old salt puffed at his pipe and gave the wheel a couple of twists. Everybody was silent. The old salt puffed a full minute before he said a word. Then he asked: "D'ye know what I said to 'em?" He took two more puffs and made some remarks about the wind and the possibility of reaching the city in two hours. Finally he asked again: "D'ye know what I said to 'em?" "What did you say?" asked one man. "I says to 'em," said the old salt; "I says to 'em, 'I'd go below, I says, 'n' cuss, I says, 'cause I don't think I could not doin' better under them circumstances," I says, n' dye know they marked me a hundred fur that answer t' that there fool question.

Mr. Macpherson's gas bills were sore quarterly trials "Man, they're simply exor-r-bitant," he remarked one day to his friend MacTaggart. But MacTaggart was a man of resource, and suggested a remedy. "Ye see, it's this way," he said. "In the gas meter there are a lot o' wee wheels which revolve as the gas passes through, and so cause the amount condensed when ye gang to bed and turn out the light, ye maun just blaw doom the pipe, and the wee wheels will revolve in the opposite direction and subtract from the amount of gas ye've been using. Man, you'll find it a grand saving." Mr. Macpherson practiced the remedy for exorbitant gas bills religiously during a month. Thru came the gas inspector on his usual round.

WHAT TO DO IF CONSTIPATED Summer—Bowel and Stomach Trouble Q. What is the beginning of sickness? A. Constipation. Q. What is Constipation? A. Failure of the bowels to carry off the waste matter which lies in the alimentary canal where it decays and poisons the en- system. Eventually the results are death under the same some other disease. Note. The deaths from typhoid fever and appendicitis, stomach and bowel trouble at the present time. Q. What causes Constipation? A. Neglect to respond to the call of Nature promptly. Lack of exercise. Excessive brain work. Mental emotion and im- mune function. Q. What are the results of neglected Constipation? A. Constipation causes more suffering than any other disease. It causes rheumatism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel, kidney, lung and heart troubles, etc. It is the one disease that starts all others. Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhea, loss of sleep and strength are its symptoms—piles, appendicitis, and fistula, are caused by Constipation. Its consequences are known to all physicians, but few sufferers realize their condition until it is late. Women become confirmed invalids as a result of Constipation. Q. Do physicians recognize this? A. Yes. The first question your doctor asks you is "are you constipated?" That is the secret. Q. Can it be cured? But it be curent: A. We will with proper treatment. The common error is to resort to physics, such as pills, salts, mineral water, castor oil, injections, etc., every one of which is injurious. They weaken and increase the malady. You know this by your own experience. Q. What then should be done to cure it? A. Use the free coupon below at once. Mull's Grape Tonic will positively cure Constipation and in the shortest space of time. No other remedy has before been known to cure Constipation positively and permanently. Q. What is Mull's Grape Tonic? A. It is a Grape Compound that exerts a peculiar healing influence upon the intestines, strengthening the muscles of the alimentary canal so that they can do their work unaided. The process is gradual but sure. It is not a physics. It is unlike anything else you have ever used, but it cures Constipation, dysentery and bowel trouble. Having a rich, fruity grape flavor, it is pleasant to take. As a hot weather tonic it is unequalled insuring the system against diseases so fatal in hot weather. Where can Mull's Grape Tonic be bead? A. Your druggist sells it. The dollar bottle contains nearly three times the 50-cent size, but if you write to-day you will receive the first bottle free with instructions. This test will prove its worth. WRITE FOR THIS FREE BOTTLE TO DAY. Good for sailing children and nursing mothers. FREE BOTTLE COUPON.

Conviction Follows Trial When buying loose coffee or anything your grocer happens to have in his bin, how do you know what you are getting? Some queer stories about coffee that is sold in bulk, could be told, if the people who handle it (grocers), cared to speak out. Could any amount of mere talk have persuaded millions of housekeepers to use Lion Coffee. the leader of all package coffees for over a quarter of a century, if they had not found it superior to all other brands in Purity, Strength, Flavor and Uniformity? This popular success of LION COFFEE can be due only to inherent merit. There is no stronger proof of merit than continued and increasing popularity. If the verdict of MILLIONS OF HOUSEKEEPERS does not convince you of the merits of LION COFFEE, it costs you but a trifle to buy a package. It is the easiest way to convince yourself, and to make you a PERMANENT PURCHASER. LION COFFEE is sold only in 1 lb. sealed packages, and reaches you as pure and clean as when it left our factory, sealed at 100° F. Lion-head on every package. Save these Lion-heads for valuable premiums. SOLD BY GROCERS EVERYWHERE WOOOLSON SPICE CO., Toledo, Ohio.

It shows bad taste in an agent to tell us what a pattern sheet is sold for. We wish to say that The Palladium is not to be compared with any Negro paper in the west. We place the paper before the public as a Negro journal that has the news of the race. We are not in any way noted as a paper that caters to the whims of the public. Newspapers mold sentiment, and we are many enough to stand up against wrong in every shape, whether the public caters to it or not. We glory in one fact—that in our existence we have never missed an issue. We have taken a stand to do and say whatever we please, always being guarded by the principle of right, and to attack a scoundrel or a villain, we care not how high he stands nor with what church lie is connected. The Palladium is sold for 5 cents a copy, or 20 cents per month, or $2 per year. If the agent can not show the public the difference between a newspaper and a pattern sheet, then he should not attempt to be an agent. God give us men who are willing to work and do the right thing in the right time. MANAGER WHEELER. All Shines Five Cents. Go to Jefferson and Market, to get a shine. Harry's place First-class shine.
