Closed the Season at Bloomecke's Grove Last Monday With Ten Thousand Present. Never in the history of outings was there as large a crowd as there was at Bloomecke's last Monday. Mrs. Harry Denny and Sonny Mack acquitted themselves well, and no fault was found at that large gathering, every one seemed to enjoy themselves to the highest extent. We met a number of ladies present and each seemed to vie with the other to make this event one of the grandest of this year's outings. Mrs. Laura Morris seemed to carry off the honors, or was the queen of the evening. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Curtis, of 707 North Fourteenth street, in our judgment were the only rivals of Mrs. Morris. Thus closes one of the most successful seasons that has ever been with all outings. Of course, this outing closed the summer outings at Bloemecke's, but in the near future Harry Denny and Sonny Mack will give an entertainment at one of the halls, and we will expect them to continue the hold of the banner as the record breakers in St. Louis. Abbie Johnson was manager of T. C.'s at T. C.'s picnic last Monday night. There was a watch given away as a prize to the most popular lady.

The Boy Preacher. Rev. Washington, the boy preacher, held a very interesting meeting at St. Paul, last Sunday. He and his father left Sunday for Troy, Mo., and passed through St. Louis last Wednesday, on their way to Kansas City. They have secured the services of Prof. Jos. A. Downing, who is an accomplished pianist, better known in Edwardsville, Ill. as the boy pianist, as an advance agent, as it was impossible for the Rev. Washington to secure engagements and also fill them. WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW. The St. Louis Palladium has more subscribers than any other two Negro papers in the state of Missouri. We have more business men and women that advertise in The Palladium than any four Negro papers in the west. The Big Four (Baltimore & Ohio route) is the railroad that is envied by all the railroads that come in contact with it. The officers are by nature cut cut for railroad men. If you want the people to know that you are in business send your ad to the Palladium. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The Pleasure Workers' club met Sunday in their weekly meeting at the call of their new president, Mrs. Carrie Miller. The meeting was well attended. Dr. Cole filled the pulpit morning and evening at First Baptist church. We invite the public to come out and hear him. He is better and better every time you hear him. The parlor social given by the Ruth club at the home of Mrs. Hunter last Tuesday night was well attended. Among the many present were Dr. and Mrs. E. C. Cole. We heard the remark that the First Baptist church had lots of fine looking widows. Yes, we thank you very much for the compliment, but don't worry, we are keeping our wealth at home. The funeral of Sister Kimble took place last Monday at First Baptist church at 2 o'clock. She was one of the oldest members of the church. Dr. Cole attended the funeral. His remarks were very touching. The B. Y. P. U. is wide awake under the leadership of Miss G. G. Brown, who is very anxious to have all of the young people come out. Lesson for September 24th: Acts 9-1-22; Rom. 6-16-23. The meeting of the Y. M. C. A. was full of inspiration, from beginning to end. Everyone present enjoyed the meeting very much. We pray God's blessings upon these dear young men in their good work. Mr. O. S. Smith of the Ebenezer Baptist church worshipped at First Baptist church last Sunday. He was formerly at Natchez, Miss., but now resides at 6123 Minerva avenue. We welcome Mr. Smith and hope he will come down often. Brother C. A. Bollinger, the little man with the big voice, is leader of the Friday evening prayer and praise meeting. He has something to tell you next Friday evening. Be sure and come out and be there by 8 o'clock. The dear mother of Mrs. Henry Brooks passed away September 15, at the age of 95 years. Sister Brooks has the sympathy of the church and her many friends in this sad hour. The funeral took place last Monday from the Female hospital. At Rest. Mrs. Priscilla Kimball, an aged Colored woman who died from dropsy Saturday morning, and who was within four years of the century mark, enjoyed distinction among the Colored people of her acquaintance. Mrs. Kimball was born in Nashville, Tenn., ninety-six years ago. When she was fourteen years old she was sold into slavery in Barber county, Miss. She saw the great shower of stars in 1833, and was injured by being thrown down by the terrified Negroes who were convinced that the day of judgment had arrived. The old woman came to St. Louis shortly before the fall of Vicksburg, and settled in this city with her seven children. After six had passed away, she entered the employ of Clay Sexton, at one time chief of the fire department, for whom she worked twenty-two years. Since 1893 Mrs. Kimball had been feeble and was cared for by Mrs. Frances Simpson, a Colored domestic, employed at 3510 Lindell avenue, where she died. J. R. HOLCOMB. Twenty-Third and Morgan Streets. We understand that it is the desire of Mr. J. R. Holcomb to open a first-class grocery store at 23d and Morgan streets, with family goods of all descriptions, with a first class bar in connection. We believe that it will be an improvement over the past occupants. We trust that the people in that block will admit him. He is now at 1701 Morgan street, and is known to keep a first-class store, and orderly in every respect. We can only ask that they give him a chance to prove himself. After a few days of illness, our friend and brother, Mr. Gus Barrow, of 2700 block Lucas avenue, died Thursday. We deeply sympathize with the mourning relatives and friends.

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. Lyon's Cafe. FRESH FISH AND OYSTERS RECEIVED DAILY. Cood Steaks and Chops On Hand at all Times. 15c DINNER A SPECIALTY.

The woman who is stout must not be tempted to wear large-figured lawns, muslins, silks, ete.; nor should she wear plaids; while tailor-made, tight-fitting garments must not be thought of, nor unlined blouses, which but reveal and accentuate her super generous proportions. ‘There are, however, some stout forms so perfectly proportioned—the adiposity so evenly distributed—as not to give the impression of “too, too solid flesh,” and the woman who really 1s perfectly proportioned can certainly wear tailor-made garments, bearing in mind to have all lines and trimmings placed lengthways: ‘As a rule the increase of flesh does not spread evenly or proportionately over tho entire body, but settles around the hips and abdomen, giving the appearance of a high waist and short front from neck to waist. ‘The straight-fronted corset is a boon to the stout woman, for, although it increases the waist size, it reduces the appearance of stoutness below the waist and round the hips, and insures @ much more graceful form and car- riage than the ordinary corset. ‘The stout woman must give atten- tion to her underwear, as well as her outer attire, and she should wear com- binations of fine-woven material; a silk and wool mixture wears well. The straight-fronted corset should be put on thus: Loosen the lace, so that the corsets can be fastened easily when on the figure; pull them down gently until they rest snugly in the waist, and be sure to pull them well down in front; then put the hand down the corset, and pull up the su- perfiuous flesh of the abdomen to above the waist-line, keeping the cor- sets well down, and, when they are laced in, the corset lower part will act as a belt or support below the waist, and the actual! fatty flesh, be- jog raised above the waist, is now resting snugly in the corset, leaving below the waist flat and thoroughly supported. Draw the lace well in from waist downwards; but above the waist leave the corset easy; never mind the increase of size there; you will not only look a better figure when dressed, but you will be able to breathe freely, and not invite indiges- tion. NERVES AND BEAUTY. Plenty of Fresh Air and Some Inter: esting Work Should Preserve One’s Youth and Health. ‘The nervous woman, heaven pity her. She makes herself and every- body around her perfectly miserable. Sometimes there's a cause for the nervousness, and.then she’s to be pitied, and sometimes it’s just a habit one gets into of being unreason- able and fussy, and generally looking ‘on the blue side of everything. When the nervous system gets out of order the whole system lags in sympathy. The digestive system, the liver and the heart all refuse to do ‘thelr work. Every nervous woman should eat five or six times a day. She should eat three meals, have a lunch between meals, and never omit the warm arink taken just before she goes to bed. Gentle exercise and work are as necessary to the woman with nerves as food and fresh alr. An active interest in life will be her sal vation, but generally the woman in such a condition thinks she isn’t in. terested in a thing in life, so she must keep at work until she develops an in. terest. A celebrated physician has said: “If you wish never to be nervous live with reason, have a purpose in life and work for it; play joyously, strive not for the unattainable, be not an noyed by trifles, aim to attain neither great knowledge nor great riches, be not self-centered, but love the good and thy neighbor as thyself.” A cel ebrated and charming actress, whose age it would be rude to chronicle, but who still looks quite young, thougt she is a grandmother, gives the fol lowing prescription for the preserva tion of youth and beauty: “You must work until you are tired, sleep unti you are rested, have plenty of fresh air, live in cool rooms, take a daily sponge bath and eat the simples! food.” . Baby’s Nose. A baby’s uose is a good deal like a piece of putty and can be changed and molded according to the wishes of the mother or nurse. A nice straight lit. tle nose can be made out of the most Pronounced pug by means of a little pressure several times 2 day. Smooth from top to tip, and smooth very gent- ly. Outstanding ears can be corrected by making a little cap of tapes and ty- iag about the child’s head during sleep. A child should shed its first teeth at about the seventh or eighth year. It is never too early to take care of the baby teeth and all smad children should be taught to brush the teeth ‘night and morning. The beauty of the second teeth depends very much upon the care that is given the first set. ‘To Whiten the Skin. The fruits will bleach the skin, Try a bleach of cucumber juice. Cut the cucumber and bind it on the face. If the your skin is very tough you will need something stronger. In that case use strawberry juice. This will pink the skin and make it clearer.

THE FASHIONABLE FORM. /My Lady Can Do a Good Deal to Ac- commodate Her Figure to the | ‘Approved One of the Day. | “To be a model these days you must ‘have certain measurements, and they a difficult to get. A model, you ‘know, can change her shape. It is eas- fiy done and can be accomplished in from ten days to two months, declares ‘Mme. D’Arcy. | “Imagine how difficult and even im- ‘possible the domestic woman woul think the task. Yet a professional model changes her figure without thought of its strenuousness. ‘How much sball I measure around the waist?’ she asks, Then she says: ‘Is my waist Jong enough and are my hips right?’ If she is told that they are not, she goes home to make them right. “To make herself longer. waisted, and nearly every woman is a little short in the waist line, she takes her- self literally in hand, She buys a cor- see aN ies | ao ay CMWNUES TIN i iy \\ I th i \ ig | ii BAe : qd i ae eee patieee gta set that fits her figure, yet which ts the right shape. There is everything in getting the right kind of a corse. ‘The professional model experimests until she procures that which suits her. Then she sticks to it. She gets the corset that looks best on her and feels best. o “Her next duty is to lower her waist Ime. She pulls down her corset as far as she can and yet feel comfortable. ‘Then she presses it down upon the hips. All day long she keeps pressing down her corset a little, using both hands upon the hips. The gesture is common to all professional models. ‘There are none who have not practiced it. Meanwhile, the model, if she be of the thoroughly modern type, is trying deep breathing. She gets up on the stroke of five and gets out where the air is clear and pure. Then she does her deep-breathing exercises. They lower the waist as will nothing else in all the wide, wide world, “The model tries to find a place where she will be secure from ob3er- vation, Then she stands erect, both heels tapping, and with her arms wide open she saws the alr. The gesture is the embracimss.one. You open your arms wide as though you were goinz to take in the whole world. Then you bring them“ together in a hug as though the world were in your em- brace. It is something like the exer- cise taken by a huckster upon a cold day. It 1s the chest-beating movement which restores the circulation. “The professional model, while her arms are outstretched, will take the deepest breath of her life. Then as ehe brings her arms together she wilt gradually inhale and exhale rapidly. so as to give her lungs’a deal of quick. vigorous work to do. This idea of in- haling slowly is both painful and iit ficult. You bring too much strain upon the valves of your heart. “The model does this for 15 minutes which is a long stunt.

BEAUTY NOTES. Did you ever t-y the little mental science trick of walking along with a scintillating star upon your chest and an imaginary basket of eggs upon you. head? I know of no better plan to acquire perfect poise than this. Merely fancy that the star 1s upon the middle of your chest, and you will find yourself carrying your shoulders like a military man; with head well erect and chest high. ‘When you are about to sit down don’t go all in a heap in a chair, bat ‘simply faney that you have a basket ‘of eggs upon your head, and you will find yourself sinking gently and grace fully into your seat. The same menta science will work wonders in the mat ter of going upstairs. One cannot bend forward, or rush upstairs, ete, as so many women do with a basket of eggs upon one’s head. é ‘There is more in grace of movement than many suppose. Only water that has been boiled ant cooled should be used for the face -unless one is fortnuate enough to ob tain rain-water, ither will give « soft, velvety feel to the skin. Regular daily exercise in the fresi air and sunlight Is indispensable t everyone; and always have a free cir culation of air in your bedroom. Nervous women should sleep eigh hours at night and one hour during the day. Wedding Announcement. It is not necessary for you to send @ present when merely the announce- ment of a marriage is sent. If the bride lives in the same city you should call on her, but no other form of ac: knowledgment is necessary. If the young couple live in another city you should send your and your husband's visiting crrds to them by mail BUILDS SCENIC RAILWAY. David Beattie, 18 Years Old, of St. Louis, Displays Remarkable Inventive Genius. “David Beattie is just a natural born Inventor,” declared a score of Webster Groves boys, who were enthusiastic in their praise of their playmate’s talent. David, who is 13 years old, is the son of William J. Beattie, No, 429 Maple av- enue, Webster Groves, a suburb of St. Louis. He has built a scenic railway 200 feet long at his father's home, and by virtue of this railway the boys of Webster Groves declare they have the larger sceni¢ railways beaten. David is a manly lad, small for his age, but with a quick and well-developed brain and a fertile imagination.

He ‘spent most of his dimes for rides on the ‘scenic railway, and while riding he evolved the plan of building a scenic ‘railway of his own, "He selected a location on the side lawn, which has considerable slope, thus ‘taking advantage of the natural gravita- tion, ‘Then with the assistance of his two cousins he dug post holes in two rows for 200 feet. Into these holes he put posts, the first set standing ten feet above the ground, the next set a little lower and so on un- til the posts extend only about three feet above the ground, Then they be- gin to ascend until they reach the ten- foot mark, and then to descend. Two parallel beams are placed upon the tops of the posts, and ties are then nailed to the beams. ‘Two parallel strips of weather boards form the rails. “I built the railway out of an old fence,” explained the young inventor. “I was going to build a loop so we could turn the car and come back. As it is, we can ride down, but have to push the car back. But papa stopped me. You see my car does not have the right kind of axles to make a turn, and papa was afraid we would meet with an accident. “Some day I am going to reconstruct the car and put on the right sort of axles, and then I will make a loop.

Most of the talk is about “millions” these days, and I notice that young peo- ple, like older ones, are beginning to look down on the pennies and to imaging that saving pennies fs too slow alto- gether for this age. Let me tell you a true story about « recent big engineering contract that shows.the value of pennies, A great firm, well known through the country, figured on an engineering con- tract a few years ago, They had every. thing calculated to the last cent, except the cost of some dredging. On this they couldn't quite figure within halt of one cent per cubic foot without getting more facts. “We'd better investigate,” said the elder partner, “and find out just how much we'll have to dredge.” “Nonsense,” said the younger and more active partner. “It is only half a cent, and it’s not worth bothering about.” e So they signed the contract. After they had worked six months { developed,that the firm would have dredge away 10,000,000 cubie feet of material, It also turned out that it would cost them exactly “only halt cent” per cubic foot more to do it than they were getting for it. Ten million cubic feet, at that halfa cent each, which the younger partner had said was “not worthbothering about,” amounted ta Just $50,000. The firm has been working three years now to fulfill a contract at a heavy loss simply because a man didn’t con sider that half a cent was worth bother. ‘dng about. In a Safe. - Beatrice’'s papa had gone to the country on business, Each night when she said her prayers her mamma taught her to say: “God bless papa and send him home safe.” Beatrica misunderstood her mamma, and, jn- stead of saying that she would say: “God bless papa, and send him home ina safe.” One day as the bottom feil out of an old safe down in the cellar Beatrice came to her mamma and said: “Mamma, I wonder what God | will send papa home in now.” making that fast, also, with the seal- ing wax. Now you have the wheel and axle. Next slip a perforated bit of card or thin wood over each end of the wire axle, fasten three cards to the ‘uprights about half way up, and bend one end of the wire into the form }of a crank. If you make the whole thing of wire you do not need the diagonal braces, for the ends of the uprights, made of stouter wire than the rest, may be driven firmly imto holes in the board. oe Now cut out six little disks of card. board. Hang one of them by a wire hook from each of the ends of the oblongs, and attach a soap-bubble to it, ‘his ‘s the dimcult part et tha trick. You must use the glycerin and soap solution that gives tough and long-lived bubbles, and you must wet the cardboard disk with the solution before you try to make the bubble ad- here to it. But with care and patience you can succeed, and the six hanging bubbles, which should be nearly equal in size, have a very pretty effect, which becomes still prettier when you turn the wheel by means’ of the little crank.

"In the lead mine I was at work on my knees with my elbows pressed against rock walls, in dampness and extremes of cold," said Mr. J. G. Meukel, of 2975 Jackson avenue, Dubuque, Iowa, in describing his experience to a reporter, "and it is not surprising that contracted rheumatism. For three years I had attacks affecting the joints of my ankles, knees and elbows. My ankles and knees became so swollen I could scarcely walk on uneven ground and a little pressure from a stone under my feet would cause me so much pain that I would nearly sink down. I was often obliged to lie in bed for several days at a time. My friends who were similarly troubled were getting no relief from doctors and I did not feel encouraged to throw money away for nothing. By chance I read the story of Robert Yates, of the Klaer Manufacturing Co., of Dubuque, who had a very bad case of rheumatism. I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, the remedy he had used. In three or four weeks after beginning to use the pills, I was much better and in three months I was well. The swelling of the joints and the tenderness disappeared, I could work steadily and for eight years I have had no return of the trouble. My whole family believe in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Both my sons use them. We consider them a household remedy that we are sure about." What Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did for Mr. Menkel they are doing for hundreds of others. Every dose sends galloping through the veins, pure, strong, rich, red blood that strikes straight at the cause of all ill health. The new blood restores regularity, and braces all the organs for their special tasks.

Just remember that "every cloud has a silver lining." Put your shoulder to the wheel and say: "I will be bright, I will make the best of things." Don't sponge on your friends simply because they assure you you are "perfectly welcome" to what they have. If at the end of the day you feel discouraged at your lack of progress don't sit down and lament over it; find out your mistake and try to do better next day. If you wish to achieve any success in life, the surest way to do so is by keeping at whatever your appointed task may be with unflagging interest and energy. Don't be overpowered by the dark side; keep at it until you find the bright one, for "weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." When most tempted to whine and rebel at the way things are going just think of the mother who struggles for food and shelter for her little ones, who in the face of the darkest trials bears up for their sake, and you will be sure to brighten up through very shame of daring to do anything else.

The Supply Comes from Food. If we get power from food, why not drive to get all the power we can. That is only possible by use of skillfully selected food that exactly fits the requirements of the body. Poor fuel makes a poor fire, and a poor fire is not a good steam producer. "From not knowing how to select the right food to fit my needs, I suffered grievously for a long time from stomach troubles," writes a lady from a little town in Missouri. "It seemed as if I would never be able to find out the sort of food that was best for me. Hardly anything that I could eat would stay on my stomach. Every attempt gave me heart-burn and filled my stomach with gas. I got thinner and thinner, until I literally became a living skeleton, and in time was compelled to keep to my bed. A few months ago I was persuaded to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such good effect from the very beginning that I have kept up its use ever since. I was surprised at the ease with which I digested it. It proved to be just what I needed. All my unpleasant symptoms, the heart-burn, the inflated feeling which gave me so much pain disappeared. My weight gradually increased from 98 to 116 lbs. my figure rounded out, my strength came back, and I am now able to do my housework and enjoy it. The Grape Nuts food did it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. A ten days' trial will show anyone some facts about food. "There's a reason." FOR SUNDAY READING BELIEVE IN GOD. O. doubling child, Dear one, weighed down with care, Be reconstricted; For Jesus answers prayer. Through prayer comes Christ's good cheer. Fear not: life's woes, God is a Father kind; How tenderly He leadeth home the blind! If 't is not now, But in the coming years, Faint not, believe; God wipes away your tears. Some time 'twill come, The answer longed for most; Be brave, dear child, Stand firmly at your post. - Maple Louise Dann, in Christian Herald. OUR FATHER'S LOVE. It Is Towards Us Even When We Are Weak and Get Deep Into Sin— A Comforting Thought. I want to know that my Lord loves me whatever I do, that He is my friend always, never my enemy, that when I am tempted, and forgetting to stand in His strength, I fall. I want to be sure that He is not angry, nor turns from me. I want to know that the sunshine of His love is over me always, and then, repentant for my sin, I will turn to that more than mother-love, stronger to conquer the next temptation. But I was told that I must walk uprightly always to keep His love, that if I sin He turns from me. How can I come back to Him if His love is cold, and I am not still His child? I have not that power within myself. Without His loving influence drawing me, I must forever stand away from Him, helpless to flee to His arms. I am told that His promises are for the perfect. Who is perfect, O Lord? Not one. Then no one receives what He promises. He is not a God to be cailed and coorced. He remembers that we are but dust. I love those words: "But dust." That is what I am. "But dust." What is more unstable and weak than dust, and He remembers that it is what we are. Of itself it has no body, no strength, nothing, and alone it must fall. Remembering that, He forgives and loves to the uttermost, even as we fall, like the dust. Then, too, I could not love Him if He did not love me first. My love for Him is His own love reflected back to Himself. "Herein is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be a propitiation for our sins." He loved me before I knew what love meant, and that love is the same, yesterday, to-day and forever. I thank Him indeed that no matter how far away I stray His love is unchangeable toward me.—John Ireland Ward, in Christian Work. FITLY SPOKEN. A mastered will is a conquered life. No man is free who has an evil desire unconquered. An empty head is Satan's opportunity, and an idle hand his ready instrument. If you cannot see the tower in the foundation, keep away. Come back and build some other day. The poorest of all standards with which to measure either time or eternity is a yardstick of gold. We are "living epistles, known and read;" but who knows what the Great Teacher thinks as He reads? We may go through life in an automobile, but the great chauffeur, Death, will bear us to the grave in a funeral car. Gracefulness of speech and the passion of delivery can never take the place of thoughtful study of the Word of God. There is one place where all the nations of the earth may find refuge, and that is beneath the banner of the Prince of Peace. The world has little information for the man who asks no questions; but volumes for him who meets you with an interrogation? Let him who will investigate the processes of nature; the processes of grace will be found the most helpful and worthy of exploration. Some people are very much disturbed over eternal punishment, yet if they would seek Christ and His righteousness, the subject would not distress them.—United Presbyterian. Why Counterfeited. Did you ever see a counterfeit ten- dollar bill? Yes. Why was it counterfeited? Because it was worth counterfeit ing. Was the ten-dollar bill to blame? No. Did you ever see a scrap of brown paper counterfeited? No. Why not? Because it is not worth counterfeit- ing. Did you ever see a counterfeit Christian? Yes, lots of them. Why was he counterfeited? Because he was worth counterfeit- ing. Was he to blame for being counter feited? No.—Bethany Tidings. NOTED BY NATURALISTS. Some insects are born, grow old, and die in the space of 24 hours. Buzzards and vultures can scent their food at a distance of 40 miles. Silk is produced by more than 200 insects, though very few of these are of any practical value to mankind. All carnivorous animals lap up water with the tongue. Herbivorous animals, as the horse and ox, suck it up. The elephant has so delicate a sense of smell that it can scent a human being when the latter is 1,000 yards off. Horses in their wild state live to the age of 36 normally, being still fairly fresh and hearty at that age in the desert. The largest insect known to entomologists is a Central American moth, called the Erebus strix, which expands its wings from 11 inches to 18 inches. There are at least 112 species of California poppies (Eschscholtzia), according to Dr. E. L. Greene, who has published a description of them in the June number of Pittonia. The air bladder of fishes is the provision within their bodies which enables them to rise or fall in the water. According to the dilation or contraction of the bladder they may regulate the depth in the water at their pleasure. A shark's egg is one of the oddest looking things imaginable. It is unprovided with shell, but the contents are protected by a thick, leathery covering almost as elastic as India rubber. The average size is two inches by two and three-fourths inches, and the color is almost pure black. The native of India has an average life of 24 years, as against 44 in this country. An Arabian woman while in mourning for a near relative will not drink milk for eight days, as the color of the liquid does not harmonize with her mental condition. Many Greenland women are perfectly bald on the sides of their heads, owing to their method of dressing the hair, which is pulled back with painful tightness, and held in place by a ribbon. Japanese women now have, under the new civil code, property rights and privileges of divorce, which put them nearly on a par with women in England or the United States in those respects. In the matter of a woman's rights Abrysinia is far ahead of Europe. The house and all its contents belong to the wife, and if the husband offends she turns him out until he is duly repentant and makes amends. Russians do not consider it correct for a girl to dance a whole waltz with one partner. Three or four men dance a round or two each with the same lady, returning her to her original partner at the end of the dance. The Tarahumara Indians believe that there is a God, but they have a very poor idea of Him. Those who live near civilized towns sometimes attend Catholic churches. They have in their tribal religion a certain mixture of the Catholic creed. They are also highly superstitious. "No," said Bilkins, "I never borrow trouble."

Railway Term Carried with It a Suspicion of Base Insin- "It was in the Boston subway that this occurred," said a Providence business man, according to the Journal, and frequently journeyed to the Hub, "and I was an interested observer. I don't know whether you'd call it an accident or a tragedy. I suppose the woman in the case regarded it as a tragedy. "In alighting at that station near the Common, where I also happened to get off, a blundering, awkward hulk of a passenger who was all feet stepped on her, and made her skirt look as though it had been through a mangle. She was in a state of mind, of course, and gone to change her; but the worst was yet to come. An alert official, notebook in hand, hurried up to her, anticipating trouble for the road. "Where did you board, madam?" he inquired. "Board!" she ejaculated indignantly, with a rising inflection, and speaking so that she could be heard above ground. I never boarded in my life." Could Get No Rest. Freeborn, Minn., Sept 18th (Special)—Mr. R. E. Goward, a well-known man here, is rejoicing in the relief from suffering he had obtained through using Dodd's Kidney Pills. His experience is well worth repeating, as it should point the road to health to many another in a similar condition. "I had an aggrigating case of Kidney Trouble from Goward, "that gave me no rest day or night, using a few boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills put new life in me, and I feel like a new man. "I am happy to state I have received great and wonderful benefit from Dodd's Kidney Pills. I would heartily recommend all sufferers from Kidney Trouble to give Dodd's Kidney Pills a fair trial, as I have every reason to believe it would never be regretted." Dodd's Kidney Pills make you feel like a new man or woman, because they cure Kidneys and Kidney's means pune blood, pure blood means boiling health and energy in every part of the body.

In variably they are the result of Constipation Tired, Nervous Mothers Make Unhappy Homes-their Condition Irritates Both Husband and Children-How Thousands of Mothers Have Been Saved From Nervous Prostration and Made Strong and Well. Mrs. Chester Curry Mrs. Chas. F. Brown A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysteresis, is unfit to care for children; it ruins a child's disposition and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weakness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that governing children involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. The ills of women act like a firebrand upon the nerves, consequently nineteenth of the nervous prostration, nervous despondency. "the blues," sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some derangement of the female organism. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness, alternating with extreme irritability? Are your spirits easily affected, so that one minute you laugh, and the next minute you feel like crying? Do you feel something like a ball rising in your throat and threatening to choke you; all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to light and sound; pain in the ovaries, and especially between the shoulders; bearing down pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost continually cross and snappy? If so, your nerves are in a shattered condition, and you are threatened with nervous prostration. Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous prostration than Lydia. E.

Mrs. Chester Curry, Leader of the Ladies' Symphony Orchestra, 42 Saratoga Street, East Boston, Mass., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "For eight years I was troubled with extreme nervousness and hysteria, brought on by irregularities. I could neither enjoy life nor sleep nights; I was very irritable, nervous and despondent. "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended and proved to be the only remedy that helped me. I have daily improved in health until I am now strong and well, and all nervousness has disappeared. Mrs. Charles F. Brown, Vice-President of the Mothers' Club, 21 Cedar Terrace, Hot Springs, Ark., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I dragged through nine years of miserable existence, worn out with pain and nervousness, until it seemed as though I should fly. I then noticed a statement of a woman troubled as I was, and the wonderful results she derived from Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I decided to try it. I did so, and at the end of three months it was a different woman. My nervousness was all gone. I was in love with my all-over again." Women should remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the medicine that holds the record for the greatest number of actual cures of female ills, and take no substitute. Free Advice to Women.

(1) THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fide subscribers than any other Negro paper in St.Louis, or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. To The Public. Any erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or reputation of any person firm or corporation, which may appear in the colums of The Palladium will be gladly corrected upon being brought to the attention of the management. All articles sent to this office for publication, must have the writer's signature or otherwise such articles will be ignored. We are not responsible for the return of unsolicited contributions on any subject. Churches and others having news or notices will please have the same in the office by Wednesday to insure publication in the week's issue. Five cents per line for each insertion. Seven cents per line for each insertion, black face. It occasionally happens that papers sent to subscribers are lost or stolen. In case you do not receive any number when due, inform us by postal card, and we will cheerfully forward a duplicate of the missing number. Several articles appeared in The Palladium last week that caused quite a stir, but the public says that we are right, and we will keep up the stir next week. Women who leave home and start a rooming house, for the sake of having some roomers, ought to get a divorce. The road is clear. Why don't you try it. No person can be an editor of a newspaper unless they have a broad mind, nor can they if they expect to endure anything that the public thinks or believes to be wrong. A certain doctor, who wants to be classed as one of the Big Niggers, would not speak to us last week. We wish to say he is an interloper, and we have never considered him a doctor. The Palladium will contain some interesting reading next week, for several reasons—one is that all churches that believe in a change of heart condemn dancing in any form. A few weeks ago there was a great shake-up in two of the Negro papers of St. Louis. The Advance now only bears the names of Old Man Murray and daughter; the Eagle only bears the name of the invincible J. D. Miller. We ask what caused this shake-up? M. B. J. W. WHEELER is one of the Deputies. The Negro Herald of Magnolia, Miss., has reached the office of The Palladium. The National Coachmen and Butlers' Guide made its appearance at our office this week. It is published in Indianapolis, Ind., and is all right. Mrs. G. McDonald was buried last Friday from C. M. E., on Fairfax avenue. She was a member of Sylvan C Court No. 2, of the Masons. An open letter to Thomas Dixon, Jr., by Keily Miller, Howard university, Washington, D. C., was received at The Palladium office this week in the form of a pamphlet. It is well worth the reading.

She is the sister of the former secretary of The Palladium, who was married July 19. She, too, will soon be. Several young ladies said to us: "Why keep stirring up this dancing matter, as the young people will dance anyhow?" Our answer was that the gospel is being preached every day, and the young and old are on their road to hell. The Palladium does not cater to any man or set of men, but we try to do right, and all sensible men and women indorse us. If you don't believe it, watch the tears of that mother and father when their loving daughter is on the road to ruin, caused by the hellish balls and dancing houses. Bishop Albert Mack says that dancing must be regulated or it must be stopped. We ask this question—Men and women should be honest with the church of God. All persons who believe in Christ and are converted ought to stop dancing, or leave the church, as all churches and the delivering Christ forbid dancing. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The association will hold its meeting Sunday afternoon, 4 p. m., at First Baptist church, Clark avenue and Fourteenth street. The formal opening of the association will be held Sunday, October 1, with special dedicatory services in the afternoon. Monday evening, October 2, public reception and inspection of the building. Programme will be announced later. The association in its new home with its added equipment, will begin a special work for older and younger boys. The boys will be registered in two groups, first will be the younger boys from 8 to 13, older boys 13 to 17. Membership fee will be one dollar, this includes use of all the privileges. The general secretary will gladly see any boys, or parents who may be interested. DETECTIVE GORDON. School has opened, and the Negro dudes are at their work. We notice that two conspicuous new coons are seen daily watching for two certain girls, and escort them down as far as Eighteenth street in the morning and then leave them. We ask that our Detective Gordon watch out for this, and in due time take them to the four courts. Books and men don't go together. We know that the parents of these girls DON'T KNOW, or they DON'T WANT TO KNOW. We shall see that Lawton avenue is divested of these girls and men that cause such scenes from 7 o'clock to 12 o'clock at night.

Give Good Support to Three Weekly Papers In St. Louis--An Editor Who Wants a' Rest. In St. Louis, Mo., there are three weekly newspapers devoted to the interests of the negroes. "The St. Louis Palladium" is in its 21st volume; "The St. Louis Advance" in its 19th volume, and "The American Eagle" is in its 12th volume. Mr. J. W. Wheeler, a large powerfully built and forceful negro, is editor of the "Palladium" and hits straight from the shoulder. Here is a literary gem from his last issue in which he makes plain his position to readers: WHY NOT GIVE US A REST? "We have stated time and time again that we are tired and want to rest as we are almost worked down. We have secured the service of Miss Richardson as editress and secretary and also have we secured the service of Harry Bailey a young man steady and apt. When either of them comes to you to collect, please pay them, and do not say you will see me, for me is at rest, if you will let me be J. W. WHEELER." "I never pull a barking pistol," says Editor Wheeler, and as a result those coons who do not like his caustic style, grin and bear it. Prof. P. H. Murray, a scholarly gentleman is editor and publisher of "The Advance," while Mr. J. D. Miller is editor and publisher of "The American Eagle." The three papers have each eight pages and the subscription price two dollars annually. They all carry a fair amount of advertising and have a good circulation among the colored race.

DICK KENT, Prop. BAR QUORS. COS Connection REET 'l Mgr. N CONNECTION The Term "Race Progress." No where in or since the time of creation has there been a time when other or a less number of properties than knowledge, wealth and immunity constituted the meaning of the term "Race Progress," or as Webster gives it. A brief description of the principal properties of a thing, yet there is a very large percentage of our race leaders blowing loud horns about Negro progress from the educational and financial properties of the term and never once think of the third property, which is the greatest as it is the moving cause and involves the meridian of life. It inspires hope, protects liberty and enhances the value of our property. It kills the prejudice of race and raises the standard for higher education, which means a reduction of humbug, fraud and crime, and will lift the Negro from his present condition to the highest type of citizenship. Therefore immunity is to education and finance what charity is to faith and hope, without charity—are as sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal. Now for the sake of argument should you place a man upon the bottom of a basin, 20 feet in depth give him all the wealth of America and the wisdom of Soloman yet there would be no hope of life, liberty or progress until immunity has been applied. Man is a creature adopted for life, but under very narrow circumstances. He must have a suitability of food and temperature, but if he fails to get a certain composition of air the only difference is from life to death. A molecule of water subdivides into one of oxygen, and two of hydrogen, and a million million million million of them weighs less than $ \frac{1}{8} $ of an ounce. Yet if they fail to conform in harmony with laminae and lumineous ether to the operative laws of magnetism, electricity, pure air at once would cease, and so would progress in this world. Therefore if the progress of Christianity is condemned with faith and hope without charity, and it requires knowledge, wealth and immunity to progress the white race, how can progress be made by the Negro, with a less number of properties. Therefore let the kid glove method, flattery and fallacy be no longer tolerated by the Negro, but his motto be, "Give me one sincere friend and you can have all the rest." The twentieth century Negro's race guide then is your friend, as it applies the remedy to our present condition, and supplies us with those methods that lead in rapid progress and to a happy future in this country.

Antioch Missionary Circle will meet in their regular monthly meeting next Sunday at the close of morning service. All members are requested to be present. Sunday, the 10th, covenant and communion services were held at Antioch church. Owing to the inclement weather, the congregation was not so large, but all seemed to be full of the spirit of God, and enjoyed the meeting very much. Rev. G. W. West is now pastor of Pilgrim Baptist church. The weather of last Sunday somewhat interfered with the attendance, yet quite a large number was present, and a very pleasant time was had. The afternoon collection was about $20. The pastor, officers and members wish to thank their friends who assisted them in their rally.

More Negro girls are being ruined annually by the contaminating influences of these so-called "dancing schools and balls" in St. Louis than by all other influences combined. These are but the stepping stones to bawdy houses and halls of ill-fame. Girls of tender years, who were only a short time ago the pride of loving and indulgent parents, are now inmates of some of St. Louis' most notorious houses of ill-fame, and all because they were frequenters of these so-called dancing schools. In these places we find the common pimp, whose mission is to prey upon any whom he may begulie into his hellish net. We are at this time able to name no less than half a dozen girls, all under 20 years of age, of respectable parentage, who are now common streetwalkers and block women, all of whom got their first lesson at these very places. A poor old mother, with tears in her eyes, described to the writer the beginning and ending of her promising young daughter, who had spent her evenings at the "dancing school." The payment of a small price and no questions are the requirements for entrance to these places. Maids and maidens, bucks and lassies, ex-convicts and plims, rounders and all other classes mix and mingle together. A few big Negroes gather in the shekels of silver while the race travels the road to ruin. The police department should put a ban on girls of a certain age, and thus prevent them from frequenting such places. Our public school teachers and ministers should stoutly condemn these evils.

Outbreaks of typhoid fever in various places excite wonder at the indifference with which that disease is regarded by people who are thrown into a panic at the prospect of an epidemic of smallpox or yellow fever. Typhoid fever kills ten times as many people as both of those diseases put together, yet the campaign against typhoid is as languid as that against yellow fever is energetic. It took the progressive town of Chicago a long time to realize that dumping sewage into its drinking water was not conducive to public health. Many other communities have not yet even reached that realization.—Chicago Chronicle. And yet our esteemed contemporary never has had one word of protest against the pollution of St. Louis drinking water, by dumping Chicago sewage into the Mississippi river from the Chicago drainage canal. It makes a difference whose ox is gored. THE PALLADIUM GIVES ITS READERS MORE NEWS THAN ALL THE OTHER RACE PAPERS PUBLISHED IN THE CITY AND STATE.

Texas, particularly the territory traversed by the San Antonio & Aransas Pass railway, which owns and operates 723 miles of road, as follows: Main Line—San Antonio to Houston. Waco Division—Waco to Yoakum. Lockhart Division—Lockhart to Shiner. Kerrville Branch—San Antonio to Kerrville. Corpus Christi Branch—Corpus Christi to Kenedy. Rockport Branch—Rockport to Gregory. Alice and Falfurrias Branch—Skidmore to Alice and Falfurrias. By reference to the map you will see that they run through the finest and earliest truck-producing section in the southwest. The climate is so that the farmers raise and sell something every month in the year; in fact, it is known as the "open winter" farming country of the southwest, where a man can work out in the open air every day, and does not have to spend all he makes in the summer to keep him through the winter. It is understood that the low rate Homeseekers' tickets will continue to be on sale during November and December to all San Antonio & Aransas Pass points, of which the following are the most prominent local stations: Falfurrias, Corpus Christi, Alice, Bceville, Skidmore, Runge, Cuero, Yorktown, Hallettsville, Rock Island, Yoakum, Giddings, Cameron, Luling, Rockport, Kennedy, Karnes City, Floresville, Rockdale, Gonzales. You can pack up Sallie and the babies and go south, and they will show you all of these fertilized fields, where you can enjoy life. It is a sad mistake when our people crowd into a large city. You can do better by taking up your home in Texas. We will continue this appeal for the benefit and welfare of the Negroes. Go on SAN ANTONIO & ARANSAS PASS RAILWAY. If you wish to spend a pleasant winter, GO TO TEXAS. If you have money to invest in land, GO TO TEXAS. If you wish to be benefited by the finest of artesian well water, GO TO TEXAS. If there are another number of other things you wish to do, just take advantage of the never-before-heard-of offer of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway and go to Texas. Just think! Only $15 a round trip to Texas. Quite often one makes his home in a place where the best of advantages are not offered him. The only way to remedy this inconvenience is to take advantage of whatever opportunities afford themselves. Texas is a state that contains acre upon acre of production farm land. It is not only productive during the summer, but what is most unusual also during the winter. A man doesn't have to "lay by" for the long winter months. The climate is such that one can farm all the year around. Some may hesitate because of the supposed difficulty in disposing of crops because of lack of railroads. Such a claim held good long years ago. At the present time, the San Antonio railroad has access to every available point, and makes this special offer of $15 a round trip for the express benefit of those whose funds may be low, and who might wish to purchase land in Texas, and could not afford the regular fare. Don't hesitate longer. Buy your ticket and go at once. ROOMS FOR RENT Rooms for rent at 213 South Leffingwell avenue, for gentlemen only. MRS.

Alfred Hale. Night Clerk THE BIG NEGRO THE BIG NEGRO Big Negroes and Their Mushroom Society. The big Negro doctor who talks of race pride buys groceries from white merchants and sends his prescriptions to white drug stores, the big Negro lawyer who goes around berating his race to white men, the pompous Negro barber who buys his beer and cigars from white men and then in his ignorance strikes out to represent his race. This is the class of mushroom leaders who menace our racial welfare, and are continually putting their people in an ill light. There have been Negro lawyers and doctors in St. Louis for the past twenty years, and barring Dr. Jones, who is an authority on dropsy, and Attorney Raymond, who saved a man from the scaffold at the eleventh hour, what have the rest of these professionals accomplished? The big Negro isn't worth in real value twenty cents to his race. He doesn't patronize race institutions or contribute to the elevation of his people, though he secures his living by virtue of the fact that he is a Negro, he is ever and eternally trying to get away from his race, holding himself aloof from the very persons who promote his existence. He is forever indulging in dreams of class and aristocracy and his heart years for that plain above the common herd. Wealth and fame alone are the real germs of class and aristocracy, wealth which grows while the owner sleeps, and fame which stretches over land and sea. Every city in the United States is infested with this class of mushrooms, who do nothing for the race, but are continually singing their own praises and think more of themselves than other people think of them.

IF YOU BUY FURNITURE. AT Thuner's ITS GOOD. 9122-24-26 South Broadway --- ARE COUNTING UP FLOOD LOSSES Will Amount to Millions of Dollars to Missouri Farmers Alone. RAILROADS HAVE SUFFERED In Addition the Various Counties Affected Have Suffered Serious Losses in the Washing Away of Bridges. Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 20.—From every part of the state come reports of heavy losses of crops, principally corn. When the returns are all in the total will be several millions of dollars. The Osage and Gasconade rivers, which empty into the Missouri river near here, are both falling. The St. Francis, White and Current rivers, in the southern part of the state, are still high, but it is believed the worst is past. There is no estimate yet of the damage to railroad property, but it is heavy. The Missouri Pacific system alone estimates their losses at half a million, but are not sure that they will not exceed this amount. No through trains between St. Louis and Kansas City have passed through here since Sunday. No additional losses of life have been reported from any part of the state. Heavy Losses. Cooper county lost $500,000 worth of wagon bridges. The loss to crops in that county will reach an equal amount. Howard county has suffered a heavy loss. Bottom corn is all gone, and many bridges washed away. Carroll county is a heavy loser. The loss to farmers will reach half a million. Wagon bridges are gone. The city of Carrollton was partly under water. The total loss in Cooper, Howard and Carroll counties will reach almost $1,500,000. In Livingston county 16 inches of rain fell in three days. Lowland crops were submerged, and the damage will aggregate thousands of dollars. County bridges are gone. In Shelby county, the Salt river wiped out cornfields, and continued to do its destructive work throughout Monroe and Ralls. Cause of the Rapid Rise. The Maries des Cygnes river, which heads in Kansas, and forms the headwaters of the Osage, was on a great rampage, overflowing farms in Miami and Linn counties, Kas, and in Bates county, Mo. The Marmiton, in Vernon county; the Sac in Cedar and Dade; the Pomme de Terre, in Polk and Hickory counties, have caused hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of damage. The rivers in south Missouri head in the Ozarks, and as the downpour along that watershed was very heavy, the water poured into the creeks and rivers, and in a few hours the larger streams were miles wide. Farmers on low grounds abandoned everything and fled to the hills for their lives. What were ordinary rivers on Sunday morning were miles wide Sunday evening, and farm grounds ten feet under water. The Missouri is a slow-rising river. It will come up a few inches a day and often it will be two or three weeks before it reaches its crest. But this flood was unique. The river rose ten feet during the night, and in the morning was miles wide. A foaming sea of muddy water, with a current of eight to ten miles an hour, with its surface covered with trees, logs, timbers, dead animals, corn, hay, portions of farm buildings and bridges. One curious sight was the great number of pumpkins, an evidence that the Missouri bottom farms had been swept clean. A Phenomenon. A phenomenon was seen at the mouth of the Missouri that old river men declare they never saw before. The Mississippi at the mouth of the Missouri was at ordinary stage. The flood waters from the Missouri poured into the trough of the Mississippi from such a height that they made a cataract. The Missouri there was almost a mile wide, and trees and logs and other debris shot over the falls and were carried across the Mississippi to the Illinois shore right across the current of the Mississippi by the force of the Missouri current. This terrific outpour from the Missouri caused a rise in the Mississippi of ten feet in twenty-four hours, and continued until the levee at St. Louis was submerged, carrying away merchandise to the value of thousands of dollars. Detroit Quarantines Cincinnati. Detroit Quarantines Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Sept. 20.—The board of health has been advised that the Detroit health authorities have declared a quarantine against Cincinnati on account of the yellow fever cases here. Although considerable indignation was aroused by Detroit's action, it was decided to use more stringent measures to keep the fever out. Fell to Her Death. St. Louis, Sept. 20.—Mrs. Emma McAllister, a chambermaid at the Southern hotel, about 48 years old, fell down the freight elevator shaft from the third floor to the basement, and was instantly killed. Signing Eight-Hour Contract. Chicago, Sept. 20.—Twenty-four more independent printing shops have signed contracts with the Typographical union for putting into effect the eight-hour day after January 1. A total of 158 shops in Chicago have now signed the agreement. FOLLOWED PLEA OF GUILTY Four Officials of the Schwarzchild & Sulberger Packing Firm in Chicago Fined $25,000. Chicago, Sept. 22.—Four officials of the Schwarzchild & Sulberger Packing Co. of Chicago were fined an aggregate of $25,000 by Judge Humphrey in the United States district court here. The fines followed a plea of guilty to indictments charging conspiracy to accept railroad rebates. The defendants were Samuel Well, of New York, vice-president of the company; B. S. Cuzey, traffic manager; Vance D. Skiworth and Chas. E. Tood, assistant traffic manager. Mr. Well was fined $10,000, the other three $5,000 each. With the entering of the plea the declaration was made that unless at least one of the cases is immediately settled the life of Samuel Well, who is vice-president of the company, and is one of the defendants, is in jeopardy. He is said to be a nervous wreck, and fears were entertained for his life if he had been allowed to continue under the stigma of an indictment. The plea was entered, it is declared, after a complete understanding had been reached between counsel for the defendants and Attorney-General William H. Moody. While in Chicago, the attorney-general was apprised of the condition of Vice-President Well and, it is said, agreed to the entry of a plea of guilty with the understanding that the jail provision of the law under which the indictment was returned should be waived and merely a fine imposed. The same concession was made in the case of the other three defendants. Charges were made that the defendants conspired with each other in presenting supposed claims for damages, which were in reality claims for rebates. CHANGING INAUGURAL DATE Call Issued For a Meeting in Washington, November 8, to Convass the Subject. Washington, Sept. 22.—District Commissioner MacFarland, chairman of the national committee to consider the advisability of changing the date of the ceremony for the inauguration of the president of the United States, has issued a call for the meeting of the committee on November 8. The committee is composed of the governors of all states and territories and 15 residents of the District of Columbia. Among the dates suggested for the ceremony are April 30 and the last Thursday in April. The change is urged by reason of the inclement weather that usually prevails in Washington on March 4. A CONEY ISLAND TRAGEDY An Unidentified Man Found With His Skull Crushed and Gashed, the Victim of Thugs. New York, Sept. 22.—The police are endeavoring to establish the identity of a man found in the rear of an amusement building at Coney Island with his skull crushed and his face gashed in several places. The man, who evidently was the victim of thugs, has not regained consciousness, and the only clew to his identity the authorities have is a letter found in one of the pockets of his clothing. The letter is addressed to Thomas Swart, at Bath Beach, Brooklyn, and is signed by Frank Carlo. It was posted recently at Rochester, Ind. The man has only a slight chance of recovery. WATCHES AND JEWELRY GONE Mysterious Theft Of a Box Containing $10,000 Worth at San Francisco. San Francisco, Sept. 22.—F. H. McConnell, a jeweler at 14 Post street, as usual sent his clerk to the safe deposit vaults, where he deposited his valuables over night. When the clerk returned with a box containing about $10,000 worth of watches and jewelry, it was placed under the counter. A few minutes later, during the momentary absence of McConnell and this clerk the box was taken. A well-dressed stranger who entered the real estate office, ostensibly for a rental list, has disappeared and is suspected of being the robber. THE TAGGART DIVORCE CASE Judge Eason, at Wooster, O., Says He Can Not Render a Decision Until September 30. Wooster, O., Sept. 22.—Judge Eason announced that he would not be able to give his decision in the Taggart divorce case until Saturday, September 20. He had previously said that it would be forthcoming on September 23, but he has not had time to go over the evidence, and a postponement of one week was found-necessary. Mrs. Taggart, who is still in Wooster, has been ill for several days and threatened with fever, but it is now expected that she will be out in a few days. Not Enough Coal In Wagon. St. Louis, Sept. 22.—William Kling, a coal wagon driver, was fined $250 by Judge Tracy for short weight. Ohio Mayor Found Guilty. New Lexington, O., Sept. 22.—A jury in the probate court has found John L. Hughes, mayor of Shawnee, O., guilty of malfaessance in office. The verdict removes Hughes from office, and the president pro tem. of the council will succeed him. Favors No Small Amount. St. Louis, Sept. 22.—United States Senator Stone of Missouri stated before an audience of business men that he favored expending $300,000,000 to make the Mississippi navigable for ocean steamers. 2601 LAWTON AVENUE, N.

Raisins were first produced in Cali- fornia in 1867, and became of commer- cial note in 1873. It takes from three to four pounds of grapes for one pound of raisins, an@ produétion 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.
