Fresh oysters at the restaurant of Mr. George Lyons, 319 North Jefferson avenue, in any style. Nothing like it, for it just like eating at home, 1211 Market street. Ferguson—The Chicagoan. Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Thornton have returned to the city, having spent a pleasant time in South Haven, Mich. Mrs. A. G. Allen, of 4226 Papin street, is a first-class dressmaker. She awaits the arrival of her husband from the south. Don't forget to get V. L. Walker to decorate your house and windows with the latest oriental paper and picture of the holy family. Mrs. Lulu Lee, of 2030 Diddle street, has been sick for several weeks. She is better now, and has refused to pass in her checks for cashing. A smart little fellow is James Cunnington, the two-year-old grandson of Mrs. Arnold, of 4111 Papin street. He is as lively as a cricket. It is reported that Mrs. L. Mix, of 1108 Morgan street, will soon be married. She says she can stand the lonely life no longer. Miss Adeline Conwell, of 4219A Kennerly avenue, is very much indisposed at this writing. Her many friends hope for her early recovery. Mr. Joseph L. Allen and family, that resided at 2623 Thomas street, has moved to their own home at 741 Holland street, Webster Groves, Mo. Miss Nora Green, of Indianapolis, Ind., is visiting Mrs. Lulu Lee, of 2030 Biddle street. She is a lovely creature, and now is the chance of some one. Mrs. Angelina Bennett, of Ennis, Tex., the mother of Mrs. Malone, of 2405 Walnut street, is visiting here. She has been in the city a month, and will probably remain several weeks longer. The Ladies' Noonday Social Club will meet with Mrs. Alice Jones at 315 South Twenty-second street, Thursday, September 14, at 2 p. m. sharp. All members are requested to be present at that hour, as there is much business to attend to. Mrs. C. V. Hawkins has just returned from a two months' visit in Alton, Ill. She is looking well. Her little daughter, Lillie, returned from Lawrence, Kas., last Monday to attend school. She has been gone two months. All's well that ends well, and Mr. Adams, the husband and father, is the happiest of them all. Well—you know. Elder G, C. Thomas, of 2841 Belt avenue, who left to visit the south on July 26, returned Friday morning, September 1. He had great success with the holiness meetings he held, assisted by Brother Anthony Todd, of 3500 Goodfellow avenue, who accompanied him. Both will begin holding meetings in the gospel tent located on St. Louis and Belt avenues. Come one, come all, and see an old-time Holy Ghost meeting. Why is it that a most worthy and trusted gentleman in the government service is not rewarded in proportion to his merits. Mr. W. H. Whitefield, who has been in the government service for eight years, and has held a very trusty position, has never been found wanting. We trust the head of the department will recognize the long and faithful service of Mr. Whitfield and have his wages raised. Treat the gentleman in black as you do the one in white. Mr.' V. L. Walker, the leading paper-hanger in St. Louis, has again added a new star to his crown. Not long ago he took a vacation and visited Chicago, Ill., and while there he became acquainted with the art of decorating windows in the oriental style. He decorated the window of Anderson Russell, the undertaker, which is one of the most complete and beautiful windows in the city. Mr. Walker is agent for the sale of such paper, which decorates the windows, at 2322 Chestnut street. The picture is that of the sacred family of Christ and the holy family. The work is so complete that it looks like oil painting. There is but one other person in St. Louis that does such work, and now that Mr. V. L. Walker is duly authorized to sell such paper, and put the same in windows, go and see the competent work done by this veteran paper-hanger, and you will then be convinced that Mr. V. L. Walker has no equal in the great city of St. Louis. Stop that Cough Picketts Cough Syrup. POLITICAL NOTES. Dr. "Tipping" Tubbs, of Gasconade county, is an aspirant for the United States marshal's berth in St. Louis. Dr. Tubbs needs no introduction. Nathan Wright is making a splendid contest for truant officer. He is a young man full of life, and the general public seems to regard him with favor. Mr. Ben Westhus, our splendid collector of internal revenue, may succeed himself. Mr. Westhus is a good citizen and faithful officer. Unhampered by Beirman, his administration would be the ideal of all federal offices in St. Louis. Rumor has it that Judge Wuderman, of the Tenth congressional district, has political aspirations which may materialize shortly. The judge promises the relegation of George Behrman, which alone should insure some success for him. Some very valuable improvements can be made by the president in the appointment of future federal officers for St. Louis. The elimination of Geo. Behrman, if nothing else, would add considerable tone to the local and state organization. Unless the unforeseen happens, Mr. Charles G. Ricker will be the next assistant treasurer of the United States at St. Louis. Clean and honorable, with 25 years of active service in that office, he can but be regarded as the next logical candidate. THE POMBIEROS On the Corwin H. Spencer Last Monday. Not since the days of Heptarchy was there a more sweeping success than the Ponibieros' excursion, nor was there as big a one. The boat started up the river, stopping at several points, where about 400 more persons were taken aboard the steamer. Having been out all day without a cross word, they returned at 6 p. m. to the foot of White street. A 9:30 p. m. the boat started down the river. All games were closed down all day. There was one "smart alex" that tried several times to open what is called a shell game. This was closed down twice, and the third time the captain locked the shell man up, where he was kept in close confinement until 11:30 p. m. We might as well admit the fact that this excursion was the longest, best behaved and more money cleared than anything given by Aunt Hager's children this year. So there is no use kicking. SNOOKS. A. E. MISS LETTIE RICHARDSON, The loving daughter of Mrs. L. Richardson, of 3116 Rutger street, has quit the walks of schoolhood days and took unto herself a mate. We wish them well, but we wonder what they will do. The girl is not out of her teens. In Honor of Miss B. Oglesby. On last Wednesday night, from 8 to 10 o'clock, Mrs. H. Palmer, of 4020 Finney avenue, entertained in honor of Miss Blanche Oglesby, of Forlest, Mo.

Pastor Cole would be delighted to see each member of the church next Sunday morning. Rev. Washington, the boy preacher, preached an excellent sermon Sunday evening, to the delight of all who heard him. Mrs. Sallie F. Myng, of 2813 Sheridan avenue, has been quite ill for two weeks. We hope for her a speedy recovery. Prof. J. Arthur Freeman returned last Monday from St. Paul, where he spent his vacation. He reports a pleasant time. If you have the blues and want to be cured, join the Pleasant Workers' club. Mrs. Sadie Byrd, president; Mrs. E. B. Cole, secretary. Mr. and Mrs. Danial Hunter celebrated their wooden wedding last Monday evening, September 4, at their home, 2726 Lawton avenue. Rev. E. C. Cole, D. D., preached to a large and attentive audience Sunday morning. Text, 1 Peter 3:4. He made it plain, to run a successful Christian race, we must have the spirit of meekness. Sunday afternoon was regular covenant and communion. Many testified for the Lord, and Dr. Cole gave communion to more than four hundred persons. The First Baptist church is in the midst of a grand rally which was a success last Sunday, and will be continued Sunday, September 10. The public is cordially invited to come and help us. If you want your spiritual strength renewed come out to the Friday night prayer and praise meeting. This meeting is lead by our young Deacon C. A. Bollinger. Come out and help him in this good work. The Whitman Sisters' Concert Co. gave a grand musical last Wednesday evening. It was the grandest treat that we have had for a long time, the house was crowded and all seemed to enjoy the singing, especially Little Willie, and Baby Alice. The Carnation club will give a lawn party at the home of Mrs. Dillerd Harris, 213 South Sixteenth street, Monday evening, September 11, 1905, for the benefit of First Baptist church. The president, Mrs. M. J. Grant, will be pleased to see her many friends. Come out and help the club. The bride was gowned in white and wore a bunch of pink rose buds. The groom wore-black with a rose bud on his coat. He was all smiles and as happy as he was that night five years ago. The many friends enjoyed a delightful evening. The presents were many and handsome. Little (Annie) was the mascot for the occasion. The B. Y. P. U. elected their officers lastSunday for the ensuing years as follows: Miss G. G. Brown, president; Mrs. Lulu Alexander, vice-president; Mr. M. Hamilton, secretary; Mrs. Anna Graven, corresponding secretary; Mrs. J.

The young man, who was a brother of Prof. Clyde Keeling, of the Nevada schools, was found. fatally injured in the southern part of Rich Hill on the morning of August 20.

We saw both of them on the Corwin H. Spencer last Monday night, and they know that we know all. The young ladies are all sick now with severe colds. I asked them how they caught them. Each replied : "I do not know." I said: "Why, you got it at the dancing school." A. Russell has one of the finest windows, decorated by Mr. Walker, the paperhanger. He is not a jack-legged preacher, but he knows how to decorate houses and windows. Mrs. Ida Jones, of 1532 Gratiot street, has removed to 1554 Gratiot street, where she has fitted up her new store with dry goods of all kinds. Give her a call should you need anything in that line.

Did you know that in less than three months another one from The Palladium office will get spliced, and his name is 1-2-3-4-5-6. Now watch this column for the odds and ends of things that happen, and things that some people think that only they and nobody else knows. Mrs. Cora Sheffield, of 2203 Morgan street, has been sick for the past six weeks. She is better now. During her illness she thought that the time had come to have her checks cashed, but, like the good men, she began to tell God of all the goodness that she had done, and asked the good Master to spare her for her children's sake, so her life was prolonged. We trust that she will keep in the path. As we passed a house on Rutger street last Saturday we heard a sweet voice of a young woman say: "Oh, mamma, there is The Palladium man, and I have something to tell him." I at once stopped and thought I would hear the reply the mother would make. "Now what have you to tell him?" the mother asked. "Oh, mamma, you know that A was 13 years old yesterday." I at once went in, after bidding them the top of the day, and said: "Well, I am sorry for it; for you will die very soon." At this all was very sad The man who tried very hard to preach a business sermon in the Central Baptist church. Now the public has got the horse laugh on him. The Palladium Man has nothing to say. Only watch this horse and the Velled Lady. If you don't know anything, keep still. MissPearl Carter returned Tuesday from a three weeks' visit to her home in Lawrence, Kas. Mr. Geo. W.

It is an absorbing and expiring ex- perience to stand in one of the great highways of a city In the early moru- ing hours and watch the crowds on their way to work, on their way to con- tribute the day's addition to the ma- jestic temple of civilization, which man and his machines are building.

Or do you leave yourself at home, to He inactive there all day and start into energetic lite only when the even- ing’s amusements begin? More tha 95 per cent. of the men who attempt business fail; and more than 95 per cent. of that 95 per cent. fail because mankind does not take itself to its work, does not realize that work is both a means and an end, but chiefly an end—Saturday ivening Post.

NEGRO NEWSPAPERS OF THE UNITED STATES. ‘We have tried hard to get the exac number of papers thal are published 3 the Negroes of the United States, ant their standing, from the best of an¢ most reliable authority outside of wha We have at our command.

The whites are flooded down with them, Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side with weekly white papers of this coun- try. Our people have not as yet ar- rived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negrc men and women. & We see German, Irish, French, He. brew aid Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper ia published. : We cake it for a fact that the ma: jority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their news- papers, magazines and other period- icals as the pivot on which their in- formation is dispensed among the peo- ple. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhab- Itants of this country should look tc our people and the Negro papers to dis- pense news and information. Yet some of our best writers and pyplishers have had to give up, and go into other business, ard the rea- son is because they were not support- ed. \ Thomas “Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and orilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up.

Texas, particularly the territory traversed by the San An- tonio & 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 Shi- ner. Kerrville Branch—San Antonio to Kerrville. corpus _Christl__Braneh—Corpus Christi to Kenedy. Rockport Branch—Rockport to Gres- ory. Alice and Falfurrias Branch—Skid- more 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 tnat 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 sums °F to keep him througa the win- ter.

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 incon- venience is to take advantage of what- ever opportunities afford themselves. Texas is a state that contains acre upon aere of production farm land. It is. not only productive daring the summer, but what is most unusua) al- so 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 An- tonio railroad has access to every available point, and makes this spe- cial offer of $15 a round trip for the express benefit of those whose funds may be low,,and who might wish to purchase land ia Texas, and could not afford the regular fare. “_av't hesitate longer.

S: INVENTIVE INGENUITY. A Pittsburg man has invented a machine that will make and bake 40 pies a minute. Among the latest inventions patented is a contrivance which, fitted to an ordinary sewing machine, will fan and massage the operator while she is working. An Italian engineer has invented a successful elevator for raising sunken vessels. It consists of compressed air chambers of canvas and wire, each equal to a lifting capacity of 60 tons, and it is possible to attach as many of these as may be necessary. Silicon, the most abundant metal in the world, but hitherto little known because of the difficulty of separating it from oxygen, has now been made obtainable in quantities to meet any demand by the electric furnace. It gives to steel valuable electrical properties, and is expected to assume importance in iron alloys. Greater contrast in photographs is claimed for a new single lens, which causes the picture to stand out in relief as under the two lenses of a stereoscope. The lens is convex-cconcave, so that the axes of the rays from different parts of the picture meet in the eye, and the focal length should equal that of the camera taking the photograph. A novel method of getting rid of black smoke and at the same time turning it to use is adopted in some Belgian factories. The smoke is driven by fans into a porous receptacle, over which flows a stream of petroleum or similar liquid. The smoke is thus caught and turned into gas that gives great heat, and can be used for running gas engines. A poor laboring man in Denmark has made a new invention in life-saving. He impregnates clothes with a substance which will keep a ship-wrecked person afloat for several days without losing its property. A coat, a vest, a traveling rug—in fact, any piece of wearing apparel impregnated with the stuff is enough to keep anyone above water. The invention has been successfully demonstrated. MEDICAL MENTION. Bright red spectacles, accompanied by internal doses of calomel, form a new German specific agent against seasickness. According to Prof. Behring, "the milk fed to infants is the chief cause of consumption." He would insist on the pasteurization of all milk. Remarkably favorable results are said to have followed the hypodermic injection of sea water in 24 tuberculosis patients by Dr. Fournol at a Paris hospital. Perhaps it is not wise to prophesy a time when enzymic diseases shall lose all their terror by reason of the discovery of effective antidotes to the polysons to which their ravages are generally due. It is reasonable, however, to look forward to the time when the terror of these diseases, namei, diphtheria, typhoid fever, typhus and kindred scourges, shall be reduced to a minimum. An English physician declares that it is better to keep scarlet fever patients at home, where the germs die out gradually in the fresh air, than to send them to a hospital, where they are in the midst of dozens of other cases in all stages of the disease. On their return to school, the germs are called into activity by the four air in the room, and the disease is spread to others by coughing, etc. Dr. G. C. Franklin, the new president of the British Medical association, in an address to the association at Leicester, pointed out the danger of overspecialization in medicine. The development of the specialist, he said, was inevitable, and he feared might tend to produce a narrower type of medical man, but on the whole the development had so far been beneficial both for the public and the profession. Tymkyns( at lunch).)—May I help you to the salad, Miss Wrangler? Miss Wrangler—Well, I don't much care about moving; but suppose you help the salad to me? STRONGER THAN MEAT. A Judge's Opinion of Grape-Nuts. A gentleman who has acquired a judicial turn of mind from experience on the bench out in the Sunflower State, writes a carefully considered opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts as food. He says; "For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts has been a prominent feature in our bill of fare. "The crisp food with the delicious, ruly flavor has become an indispensable necessity in my family's everyday life. "It has proved to be most healthful and beneficial, and has enabled us to practically abolish pastry and pies from our table, for the children prefer Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and wholesome food. "Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect physical condition—as a preventive of disease it is beyond value. I have been particularly impressed by the beneficial effects of Grape-Nuts when used by ladies who are troubled with face blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. It clears up the complexion wonderfully. "As to its nutritive qualities, my experience is that one small dish of Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound of meat for breakfast, which is an important consideration for anyone. It satisfies the appetite and strengthens the power of resisting fatigue, while its use involves none of the disagreeable consequences that sometimes follow a meat breakfast." Name giver by Postum Co., Sartlo Creek, Mich. TOKIO UNDER MARTIAL LAW Bitter Resentment Against Peace Treaty Manifests Itself. RIOTS, BLOODSHED AND ARSON Almost Constant Fighting Between Mobs and Police—Government Officials Assaulted—Army Reserves Called Out. Tokio, Sept. 8.—An imperial ordinance establishes martial law in Tokio. The disorders continue. Tokio, Sept. 8.—It is reported that there is rioting at Chiba, a town with a population of 20,000, 20 miles east of Tokio. The prefectoral building and the courthouse are reported to have been burned. The government has suspended the further publication of the Niroku, a newspaper printed in Tokio. Gen. Sakuma, commander of the Tokio garrison, has issued a proclamation warning the populace against disorder. Tokio, Sept. 8.—Bitter resentment against the terms of the peace treaty with Russia, strong throughout Japan, has manifested itself here in riots, bloodshed and arson. Since Tuesday night the capital has been mob-ridden. Two people have been killed and more than 500 wounded. more than 500 wounded. The residence of Premier Katsura has been burned. The aged Marquis Ito, chief personal adviser of the milkado, and who is held responsible more than any one else for the concessions made at Portsmouth, and a party of friends, caught upon the street, have been stoned. A mob burned and destroyed ten Christian churches and one mission house school. The people were not injured. Government officials have everywhere been jeered, and in many instances assaulted by mobs. Foreigners Not Exempt. Foreigns, to whom the Japanese are usually polite, have not been exempt. E. H. Harriman, the president of the Northern Pacific Railroad Co., in the United States, was threatened, and some of his party roughly handled by a mob, who were after government officials in the party. Almost constant fighting has gone on between the mobs and police, and 15 police stations in Tokio have -been wrecked. The office of the Kokumin Shimbun, official organ of the government, has been twice attacked, and is under a heavy guard. So bad has the situation become that army reserves have been called out to aid the police in restoring order; in fact, to protect the police, who have become unable to cope with the mobs, and who are themselves subjects of attack. Apparently Censoring Telegrams. Pekin, Sept. 7.-Messages received here from a good source at Tokio represent the situation there as grave. The Japanese government is apparently censoring telegrams. President Makes No Comment. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sept. 8.—Not until late Thursday evening did the president learn of the serious disturbances in Tokio. He expressed concern over the situation that had developed over the riots, but had no comments to make on them. Thus far no advices have been received from Minister Griscom, at Tokio, or from any other official source in Japan regarding the anti-pace demonstrations. A BLACK BRUTE CREMATED Mob Got Hold of Him, and Soon the Fire Was Consuming His Body. Waxahachie, Tex., Sept. 8.—Steve Davis, a young negro, who confessed to outraging Mrs. S. P. Norris, aged 20, was tied to a piece of gas pipe and burned to death by a quiet but determined mob of enraged citizens. The sufferings of the negro were horrible, but did not last long, as the fire, fanned by a brisk wind, soon consumed his body. The husband of the brute's victim struck the match that started the blaze. Revised Education, Ends Life. Wichita, Kas., Sept. 8.—Charles Henry Ohlman, son of a wealthy farmer, committed suicide by placing the muzzle of a loaded shotgun against his breast and touching off the trigger with a ramrod. The young man left a note, stating that he ended his life because his parents had refused to allow him to attend college and obtain an education. Spanish War Veterans Meet. Milwaukee, Sept. 8.—The second annual reunion of the United State-Spanish war veterans is in session here. Indian Publicly Lashed. Wewoka, I. T., Sept. 3.—What was probably the last whipping that will ever take place in the Seminole nation occurred here when Solomon Mitchell, a full-blood Indian, was given 50 lashes on the bare back for horse stealing About 1,000 people witnessed the execution of the council's orders. Youth Ends His Life. Willis, Tex., Sept. 8.—Fontaine Fox, aged 15, son of a widow, blew his head off with a shotgun, being disappointed over the decision to send him to a school he did not desire to attend. MASSAGRE AND DESTITUTION MASSAGRE AND DESTITUTION Russian Cities Being Burned and the Inhabitants Slaughtered. Foreign Residents and Better Classes of Baku Flee to Sea From Danger. Baku, Caucasia, Sept. 8.—The situation shows no signs of amelioration. It could hardly be worse. The terrorrstricken inhabitants are fleeing from the city, knowing that the garrison is utterly inadequate to protect them; and although the worst scenes of fire and massacre have not yet occurred in Baku itself, none dare think how far the excess may proceed. The entire oil and commercial quarters of Balakhan, Sabunto and Nomani have been wiped out by fire, and the inhabitants remaining behind were massacred and thrown onto the flames. Biblebat continues to burn, and is threatened with the same fate as Balakhan. The consulates, banks and administration buildings in Baku are guarded by troops. All of the English residents and almost all of the better classes have boarded to sea to escape from danger. All available steamers have been employed for this purpose. A whole army of hungry workmen, driven in from the burned suburbs, has flocked into the city. There is the greatest destitution, and measures for transporting the workmen from the city are imperatively necessary. BEAT HIS HEAD TO A PULP Indinianian, Aged 72, Kills His Father-in-Law, Aged 61, While the Latter Was Asleep. Delphi, Ind., Sept. 8.—Fred Thompson, aged 72, a veteran of the civil war and a well-known farmer, beat to death his father-in-law, William Dillinger, aged 61, with an old-fashioned harrow tooth. Thompson and Dillinger had engaged in a fisticuff, but Mrs. Thompson interfered and made peace. All retired for the night in the same room. At 3 o'clock Thompson arose and again viciously attacked his sleeping companion, hammering his head to a pulp. After three hours' search the officers found Thompson asleep in a fence corner near his home. He made no resistance and deified the crime. OLD BUILDING COLLAPSED Two Men Killed and a Score Injured —Had Been Condemned, But Was Occupied. New York, Sept. 8 —Two persons were killed, one a girl 16 years of age, when a building at Grand and Mott streets collapsed. The building is said to have been condemned two years ago, but have been permitted to be occupied since. Thomas McOever, a foreman in the building department, is under arrest in connection with the collapse on a charge of criminal negligence. The dead are: Maria Garioso, aged 16; Joseph Farinia, aged 48. Nearly a score of persons were injured, some suffering from broken limbs. COMMITTED DOUBLE MURDER Alubamilun Makes a Laughter Pen of His Kitchen, Using Double-Barreled Shotgun. Mobile, Ala., Sept. 8.—A double tragedy occurred at Evergreen, Ala., Jack Thompson, a prominent citizen, shooting and instantly killing his wife, and then turning the weapon on his father-in-law, J. D. Cooper, inflicting wounds from which the old man died three hours later. Mrs. Thompson had just finished cooking breakfast and her father had seated himself at the table when Thompson entered. He carried a double-barreled shotgun, and immediately opened fire. EVADING FEDERAL LAW New York Mail Wagon Drivers Report "Sick and Unable to Work." New York, Sept. 8.—Fifty mail wagon drivers have reported "sick and unable to work." Under the federal law it is a felony to interfere with the United States malls, and to dodge this danger the strikers resorted to feigned illness in refusing to work. The cause of the trouble is a refusal by the firm holding the contract for mail wagon service to advance the wages of the men. Senator Smith's Case Dismissed. Jefferson City, Mo, Sept. 8.—In circuit court the case against Senator Charles A. Smith, of St. Louis, was dismissed. This disposal of all the legislative bribery cases except those indictments against D. J. Kelly, the Royal baking powder legislative agent, who has skipped the country. The failure to convict Senator F. F. Farris at the recent trial, and which was much the stronger case, caused the state to dismiss the case against Senator Smith. One Way to Stop a Wedding. Milan, Tean., Sept. 8.—Eldridge Chandler, a well-to-do farmer near Gibson, made a bonfire of his daughter's wedding dress and marriage license, and executed a war dance about the flames. She is 15, and he opposed her marriage. Paris, Sept. 8.-A dispatch to the foreign office from M. St. Rene Tallandier, minister to Morocco, announces that the Moroccan government has yielded to the French demands and given complete satisfaction. AN UNGRACEFUL CHILD. Persistence in Bad Habits Changes a Pretty Little Girl Into an Ugly Duckling. There is a family of three girls, two of whom always pass for beauties, writes Katherine Morton, in the Washington Star. The third is known to neighbors as "The Riggs' Ugly Duckling." She deserves the title, as far as appearance goes; the most charitable cannot deny the fact. And yet, on careful inspection, it will be seen that the two pretty girls have most irregular features. One is freckled; the other's face is badly shaped, being far removed from the deical oval. The poor little Ugly Duckling has a straight, short nose, a delicately curved mouth with sensitive lips, an oval face, and a clear complexion. Why is she homely? The answer is because of awkwardness. The child has every ungainly habit that a child can acquire, and all because nobody has taken the pains to help her break these habits while she is young and the matter is comparatively easy. She is pigeon-toed. This is not because of any natural malformation (and even if it were, the matter could very likely be remedied by exercises or braces), but merely because she has formed the habit of letting one toe turn in. The other turns in neither direction, but points straight ahead. Next, she is round-shouldered. She is passionately fond of books and music, and she has been allowed to sit at the piano or over a book with her shoulders rounded in a distressing manner. Her forward shoulders cause her chest to recede. This position affects the whole body. She is coming to have a protruded abdomen, which almost always accompanies round shoulders. She is near-sighted. This may be considered a misfortune, not a fault. She bites her nails continually while in company. Occasionally she bites her pretty lips. She is a most bashful child, and her diffidence has led her to pick up these disagreeable habits. She suffers constantly from the feeling that "people are looking at her," as she expresses it, and she cannot sit or stand at repose under the imagined stare. Do you wonder the poor child is known as the Ugly Duckling? And that nobody ever notices that she has the pretty features of the family? Her manner is so annoying that no one can see beyond it. She bids fair to remain the wall-flower of the family during all the years to come. If only her aunt—for the poor little girl is motherless—could realize that now is the time to take the matter in hand! Every year that passes will fix the habits more and more firmly, until they are beyond help, unless the girl's own will power should prove strong enough to force her into a voluntary reform. But the distorted body is forming now, and it will mean a difficult and long and weary process later on to train the muscles back into their normal position. A NEAT LITTLE COAT. A Wrap Suitable for Fall Days or for Colder Ones of the Later Season. Our model coat is a very useful little garment. It is a loose sacque, slightly shaped in at the waist at sides; the knots, draw the end of the leading 南洋英 A SIMPLE WRAP. with large pearl buttons. The collar is of self-material faced to within one inch of the edge with goods of contrasting color. The band is kept in position by short pointed straps at the sides. It is a trim garment, and one that requires a small amount of goods, and is easily made. Large Hands. The woman with an unduly large hand should be careful to wear sleeves that are long and wide at the wrist, no matter what the vogue may be. The apparent size of the hand decreases as the width of the cuff increases. That is why in the old portraits of bishops their lordships always seem to have small hands. They wore frilled cuffs of large size. Gloria Petticoats. There are petticoats of black gloria silk, which are said to far outwear those of taffeta. WORRY AND WRINKLES. Fretting Worse Than Late Hours to Invite Father Time to Lay on His Touches. "I know a woman who never goes out to dinners and dances, and who does not take in the opera, says Mme D'Arcy, but she is tired just the same. She spends her evening doing fancy work and she worries about her children most of the flight. I called on her one evening last week, and found her worrying about Willy, who was as well as a boy could be. "The worrying woman needs to make up more than the woman MASAGE ACROSS THE BROW. who dissipates. She gets lines sooner, and in addition to her making up, she must put in an hour or so massaging to get the crow's fest out of her face. It is a pity women have to worry so. Better be like Becky Sharp, who took things as they came, and did without them when they went, all with the same cheerful demeanor. "Worry kills many a beauty. But the woman who has worried all day and part of the night before can reclaim herself a little. She can take an aromatic bath, massage away the lines, repair ravages as best she may and manage to look fairly well, but worry lines are terribly deep. The lines of indigestion and late hours are slight little things compared to the awful furrows in the face of the worrying woman. Don't worry is the best advice to the woman who wants to be very pretty in the evening." AT AN AFTERNOON TEA. Etiquette Obtaining on This Occasion and Duties of Those That Are to Receive. If you are to receive, wear a high-necked evening gown, with gloves of the same shade, or white ones. Your duties will be simply to make it as entertaining as possible for those that you know, and to assist in serving refreshments to every one, whether you know them or not, writes Elizabeth Biddle, in the Philadelphia Press. If you are merely a guest, wear your handsomest street costume, with a pretty waist of the same color, and a white or light colored hat, if you have one, and white gloves. Leave one of your own and two of your husband's cards upon the tray as you enter. One of your husband's cards is for the hostess, the other for the host. This will be sufficient, even if a daughter's name appears upon the tea card. But, in case the card of some one not living in the house is inclosed, you must card cards for ner. This is the more correct style, although at the present day, in order to save time and trouble, some persons only leave one of their own cards and one of their husband's, or brother's, whichever may be, for the entire receiving party. If you should not be able to go to the tea, you must mail one cards the same day. It is not necessary to remove your wraps, but if you wish to do so go at once to the dressing-room and take off your coat and furs, but not your hat or gloves. On entering the drawing-room, if you have not previously met your hostess, mention your name as you shake hands with her. Do not carry on a conversation of any length with the hostess, as she will wish to speak to those who follow. DICTATES OF FASHION. The suspender craze has reached the bathing costumes, and several new suspender models are shown—all novel rather than beautiful. One suit has skirt and suspenders of white serge banded blue silk and a blouse of white, and another model in red serge has a blouse of natural ponge silk dotted in red. One of the fashionable shades of brown is called "Maryland," and is particularly effective in cloth. A princess suit made of this and worn with a little loose jacket, of linen veil in light bisque color, has a lot of lace and bright blue embroidery set in the jacket. The hat, which is of a beige-colored straw, is heavily trimmed with roses. There are novelties in dress, and among the novelties may be counted the flying sleeves, which are coming in. These consist of sleeves, fitting rather snugly in the inside, but with the outer side arranged in a marvelous manner. Upon one pair of sleeves you see great full wing effects near the shoulder. Another has the upper side of the sleeve all gathered. Another pair of sleeves, built for a stouter arm, is made with all the fullness high up, but with the lower part quiet plain. A simple cleansing lotion for oily skin: One-half pint of rose water, one-half pint of orange flower water, adding one-half ounce of simple tincture of benzoin, six minims tincture of myrrh and a few drops of glycerin. Apply with a bit of old linen. Doctor Brigham Says MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound 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 generative organs, positively curing disease 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 of 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 it can be relied upon to effect a cure. The following letter proves it. Dr. S. C. Brigham, of 4 Brigham Park, Fitchburg, Mass., writes: "It gives me great pleasure to say that I have found Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound very efficacious, and often prescribe it in my practice for female difficulties. "My oldest daughter found it very beneficial for uterine trouble some time ago, and my youngest daughter is now taking it for a female weakness, and is surely gaining in health and strength." I advocate it as a most reliable specific in all diseases to which women are subject, and give it honest endorsement." Women who are troubled with painful or irregular menstruation, 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 perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and then write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., for further free advice. No living person has had the benefit of a wider experience in treating female illness. She has guided thousands to health. Every suffering woman should ask for and follow her advice if she wants to be strong and well.

SOLDEN ‘TRXT.—“Wnosoever/witt let bim take the water of life frecly.”—Rev. *TIME.—The lesson fs part of the prophecy beginning at chapter 40, and was written in the twenty-fifth year of Ezekiel's cap- tivity, 14 years after the fall of Jerusa- jem. ' Ezeklel was exiled in BSC. 597, and began to prophesy B.

Citeumstances of Bzekiel's exile, 2 Kings 4. Ezekiel's eall to prophecy, Ezck. 1-8 Compare the lesson with Gen. 2517; Isa, 1:9; Dan, 2:94, 15; Zech, 14:8 Matt. 18:91-88; Jobn, 7:87-29; Rev. 22:1, 2, Comment, and Suggestive Thought. V.1, “He:” ‘The visionary being who was conducting Ezekiel around the temple. “Unto the door:” He had been examining the court of the tem- ple, and now turned back to the door of the edifice, “Waters issued . . . eastward:” The waters issued from under the right side of the house, which faced eastward, flowed around the south side of the brazen altar of sacrifice, which stood before the Holy Place, then onward toward the east. In reality a fountain upon the hill of Jerusalem where the temple was built sent forth a small stream which flowed eastward. By this natural stream God typified the spiritual stream of blessing and of influence about which He wished to teach His people. V. 2, “Gate northward:” The east- ern gate was closed (46:1), hence they passed out of the northern gate, around the outer wall, until they eame to the outer side-of the eastern gate, from which the waters flowed. V. 3. “The line:” The line with which he measured. “Went forth east- werd:” Followed the stream as it flowed eastward. “A — thousand cubits:” A cubit 1s about 18 inches, hence the distance was nearly one- third of a mile. Vs. 4, 5. At the first trial the water had been only ankle deep, next it was high ‘enough*to reach his Knees, then his hips, and at last became a river that one must swim in order to cross over. The rapid increase of the river, without any streams flowing into it from either side, shows it was not a natural river, but a symbolic representation of the truth that God bestows ever-increasing blessings upon those into whose hearts He is admit- ted to dwell. V. 6. “Son of man:” A title by which this prophet often designates himself. “Hast thou seen?” Have you understood what you have thus far seen? V. 7. “Very many trees:” Where a stream of water flows through a bar- rea land vegetation quickly springs up along {ts course. Where the river of salvation flows, there springs up, in the individual heart, or in the com- munity or the nation, all that is beautiful and fruitful. (We learn more of thesa trees in V. 12.) V. 8 “Toward the east country:” To the Jordan river. “Into the desert:" The lower part of the Jor- gan valley and the country surround- ing the Dead sea was a very barren region known as the Arabah. “into the sea:” The Dead sea, whose wa- ters are so salt that ao fish can tive in them. “Shall be healed:” Shail bo restored to freshness like water of the flowing streams. V. 9. “Everything that liveth which toveth:” All animat and vegetable life, Man's physical life, as well as his spiritual nature, is invigorated by Christianity. “The rivers:” Literally, the twe rivers, perhaps referring to the juncture with the Jordan V.10. “From En-gedt to En-egla!m:” From the western to the nortfern shore of the Dead ses. ‘The meaning probably is that fishermen’s boats and nets will be seen on all sides of the sea, for wholesome, eGible fish wi*l be as abundant as they are in “the great sea”—the Mediterranean. V. 11. “Miry places, marishes, not healed:” See Rev. Ver. The rocks which surround the Dead sea flave become reservoirs of salt, and in the vision they remain so. Any spot that the stream does not touch will resiain in its former condition. So whe» the river of salvation flows through a church or community, indivftual hearts that will not yield to Gos re main as hard and barren as ever. V. 12, The prophet now returne Svea again of the trees growing fpoa the bank. He says they are friitful, no blight destroys thefr fruit, their fruit is wholesome, ani they bear new fruit each month. ‘They are 2ver- green and their leaves have med'zinal Properties; and all this not breause vf any peculiar properties in them- selves, but because the waters hich ficw from the temple feed their roots.

A man who knows and lives health, success and happiness. He is new in Montana drawing large houses. Quoting from Lucas, we say life, when it is lived is not a condition of sorrow, sickness or poverty, but the highest privilege each being can attain—happiness—Lucas. Dip with thy loving cup of giving and thou wilt more abundantly receive—Lucas. You, the present day—will know that I have truths that will be known while I live—not 100 years after my so-called death, that will lead into temptation any insane person in the future to pass the hat and place a stone and flower over a covered hole in the ground—Lucas. He will be in St. Louis soon. F. C. B., J. M. T. AND F. L. T. The right thing done at last. We used to hear the word saying stop paying rent and own your own home. But now in addition to that, I will say stop paying such big doctor bills, and join the White Cross Medical Service. Free physician at a cost of one dollar per year. Entitles any member and family to a free doctor and nurse at your home or at the office of the service free for one year from date. Small charges for medical and surgical dressing only.

This means you, and try Dr. Cooper's new discovery, the great system purifier, worm and germ destroyer; for it is startling the world by its marvelous cures. It has successively reached more complaints than any remedy. With this discovery, and his quick relief liniment if you can be cured while on earth you stay. I feel that these remedies will bring it, for it is making the sick well and well strong, the lame walk, and the deaf hear. I have testimonials for all I've said at 925 North Jefferson avenue. H. H. GREENE, Agent. How Stewart Awed a Bad Man. "I have never yet seen a desperado or mankiller who, if he thought an antagonist were ready for him with weapons equal to his own, would not back out of a fight," remarked Senator Stewart, of Nevada. "There was Sam Brown, the champion bad man of Nevada in the old days. He was a giant, six feet four inches high, weighed 250 pounds and as ferocious a looking man as ever mortal eye benheld. Killing was his trade, and one winter in Virginia City re-slew 16 men. "I had been retained by a client whose interests were opposed to the desperado, and I thought it best on the day of the trial to put a couple of old-fashioned derringers in my overcoat pocket. When I saw him enter the idea came into my mind that he had come to make me his latest victim. His favorite weapon was a big bowie knife, and the knowledge that the villain meant to stab me to death made me feel exceedingly uncomfortable. But I knew it would never do to show the creature that he had me scared, and looking him squarely in the eye, I brought the pocket of my overcoat around to where he would see the full shape of both my derringers. My hand was grasping the handle and I was ready to shoot on the second. These pistols shot with terrible force, and would knock down even if they did not kill. "I saw his eye fall on the weapon. Before he had been fumbling at his knife, but immediately he ceased and presently he walked out of the room. When the business was over I found him in a saloon taking a drink. With a smile intended to be amiable he invited me to join him. A week later he asked me to represent him in a mining suit." -Washington Post.

Raisins were first produced in California in 1867, and became of commercial note in 1873. It takes from three to four pounds of grapes for one pound of raisins, and production in recent years has ranged annually close to 100,000,000 pounds. In New York 30 years ago the price of raisins was from five to six cents per pound, wholesale. Now they are bought at the vineyards for about six-tenths of a cent. Good California grape land costs about $200 an acre, and returns are from $125 to $500 per acre. The steamer Case arrived at Washburn, Wis., on the 4th, badly damaged by the furious northeaster.
