So long as the open door of vice confronts the public and jeopardizes our racial welfare, so long should every decent, moral and law-abiding Negro speak out in open condemnation of the luring evil. Ball rooms and dancing schools undoubtedly promote the opportunities of these unscrrupulous individuals who hold character so lightly, and find pleasure in the downfall of weak and unsuspecting females. It is an undeniable fact that the warmth of two bodies clasped closely together, coupled with a possible draught of wine, and whirling along in a mad dance, is sufficient to arouse those immoral passions in those of weaker moral character. These places, as we have previously stated, are but stepping stones to bawdy houses and halls of ill-fame. Thousands of young girls go down yearly under these growing evils, and it is time that the race and public should bestir themselves to some direct action. A few years ago Ray Simpson, a dancing master, was shot to death by a prominent lawyer in St. Louis for enticing the lawyer's wife from home. Within a stone's throw of us now are married women and single, numbering no less than twenty, who attribute their fall in life to the influences of these places. There are people who condemn newspapers for their exposure of such places, but every journal, it matters not how large or small, should uncover evil wherever found. It is a debt which we owe to society. Let us unite in uncovering the pitfalls. HARVEST HOME RALLY. Last Sunday the immense congregation that filled St. Paul's to overflowing witnessed a novel and interesting service, known as the Harvest Home and Gratitude service. The entire altar was a mass of the finest fruits and vegetables, artistically arranged by a committee of ladies. The chandeliers were laden with fruits and beautifully trimmed with Golden Rod. The pastor, Rev. W. D. Cook, preached a thoughtful and eloquent sermon, choosing as his text, "While the earth remaineth, seed-time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall not cease." The music of the choir was grand and inspiring. Mr. Blue, cornetist; James Harris, violinist, and Mr. Carter, trombonist, assisted the organ in accompaniments. Every seat in the entire building was occupied, and many were standing. On Monday, from noon until -- p. m., a harvest dinner was served at the church, and many availed themselves of the pleasure. FIVE DOLLARS IN GOLD. A five-dollar gold piece will be presented to the lady elected Queen of the East, by the Great Western club, at True Reformers' hall, Monday evening, October 2.

Mrs. Emma McDonald was a faithful and devoted sister of Silvan Court No. 2, H. of J., having been a member for years. And whereas we have lost one of our most faithful and loving sisters one that was well beloved in our sight, and at the meetings of this organization; and whereas we know that the Almighty God in His wisdom, could not err in selecting Sister McDonald from our midst, we have this assurance, that she, like other departed sisters of the court who were found worthy to receive the blessings of God, has only been called from labor to reward. And be it Resolved, that though we can not see the sister and cherish her in our sight, we shall cherish her in and memory and in our hearts until we shall meet in that beautiful city, never to part. Be it further Resolved, that our heartfelt sympathy be extended to the bereaved family and friends, and also a copy of these condolences sent them. Silvan Court No. 2 to the bereaved family. Rev.

PREDICTS LOWER PRICES Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Sends Out a Word of Cheer. Lower Retail Prices Will Prevail During Coming Winter for Meats, Dairy Products and Poultry. Washington, Sept. 29.—Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture predicts lower retail prices during the coming winter season for meat, dairy products, poultry and other necessities of life. He says the relief for the householder will come from the enormous yields of small grain and corn in the great grain territory of Illinois, Dakotas, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas. "Heavy crops," the secretary said, "have resulted in the return of normal agricultural conditions in the great producing states. The meat producers have been losing money for the past three years. Grain cost too much. There was no profit in feeding, as strange as this may seem to people who pay such prices as we do for our meat. But the heavy grass crop of this year, in addition to the heavy corn crop and the heavy oats crop, will all combine to bring about normal feeding conditions. And this means a direct influence on horses, beef, pork, dairy products and poultry." BANK WRECKED BY BURGLARS The Bank of C. F. Burnett & Sons, at Eldorado, Ill., Robbed of Between $8,000 and $10,000. Eldorado, Ill., Sept. 29.—Four men broke into the bank of C. F. Burnett & Sons here at 2 a.m., and wrecked the bank vault with dynamite and carried the bank vault between $8,000 and $10,000 in currency and gold belonging to the bank, $240 in money and half a dozen gold watches, which were in the vault for safe keeping, fought a bloodless pistol fight with citizens and escaped. Three of the men entered the bank, which is in a building occupied as a department store by C. F. Burnett & Sons, who also own the bank. The fourth man they left in the street as a lookout to warn of approaching danger. Evidently the robbers feared the explosion of the dynamite would wake up the citizens, and gathered up what they got away with in a hurry, for loose change was left behind. THE THRONE OF NORWAY The Candidature of Prince Charles of Denmark Favored by King Christian and British Court. Copenhagen, Sept. 29.—It is learned on high authority that should Norway's offer of the throne of that country to a prince of the house of Bernadotte be definitely declined during the coming week, steps will be taken by the storthing to invite Prince Charles of Denmark to become king of Norway. It is believed that not more than ten members of the storthing are opposed to Prince Charles' candidature. King Christian and the British court favor it. FIGHT WITH FOUR FOOTPADS Policeman John J. Lestrang, of Berkeley, Cal., Kills One and the Others Get Away. Berkeley, Cal., Sept. 29.—In a battle with four footpads, Policeman John J. Lestrang shot and killed one of the four highwaymen, whose body now lies unidentified at the morgue. Lestrange was commanded by one of the highwaymen to hold up his hands, but the officer drew his revolver and fired. The bullet penetrated the man's jugular vein and he dropped dead. Three companions made their escape. THE FRANCO-GERMAN ACCORD A Period of Suspense Happily Terminated, Causing the Keenest Satisfaction. Paris, Sept. 29.—The Franco-German accord upon Morocco, just signed, arouses the keenest satisfaction, chiefly because it terminates a suspense of months which threatened to disturb the peace of Europe. Both the foreign officers and the German embassy were equally gratified to close the controversy. KILLED BY TOWN MARSHAL William Scarborough, of Evansville, Ind., Killed by Town Marshal Ed Trapp at Carmi, Ill. Carmi, Ill., Sept. 29.—Town Marshal Edward Trapp, of Carmi, shot and killed Wm. Scarborough, of Evansville, Ind., here. Scarborough, who had been working in Carmi several weeks, had a quarrel with his sweetheart and started in search of his rival. When the marshal attempted to arrest him, Scarborough pulled his razor, and the officer shot him dead. The marshal will not be arrested. Chicago, Sept. 29.—Edward L. Boardman, a switchman, mangled and dying, was married to Miss Edith Brusser, his sweetheart. There was no time to secure a license and a minister, and the attending physician repeated the marriage ceremony. "My wife at last," were his last words. Killed Himself In Jail. Kohoka, Mo., Sept. 29.—Gabe Wilford, in jail charged with enticing a 16-year-old girl from home for immoral purposes, committed suicide by taking carbolic acid. THE CONFERENCE.

The president has signed an executive order creating the Dixie forest reserve in Utah. It embraces 465,900 acres, mostly in Washington and Iron counties, in southwestern Utah. 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. PERSONALS. We all admire the enterprise of W. C. Gordon's new establishment at 2651 Morgan street. Mrs. Purnell would like for her friends to call at her cafe, 6100 Colorado avenue, more often.

At 168 Marion street, you can procure the best and sweetest apple cider, pure and unadulterated. Do not fail to call as it is the best in the market. C. H. Parrish. Next week we will announce the number of girls who will be married. One of them is the ex-secretary of The Palladium, Miss Virginia Bertzey. Watch The Palladium next week. Mrs. Alice Brown, of 2626 Lawton avenue, will leave soon for St. Joseph, Mo., in search of health, and also to visit her father. We trust that she will have a pleasant trip. Mr. and Mrs. S. T. C. Bell, of 3230 Lawton avenue, lost their little baby last Saturday at the age of three months. It was buried last Sunday-Mother and father are deeply affected.

Mr. and Mrs. Jno. E. Brown, of 905 Kansas street, are enjoying a very pleasant trip in the mountains of Colorado. Mrs. Brown's health has improved greatly. They will return about October 1st.

Try the place, 223 Center street. Let us remember the order of U. B. F. and S. M. T. Come out on Saturday, September 30th, as this is the best and strongest order in the state. Now let the members come out and see and seat themselves close together. Rev. E. T. Cottman the former pastor of St. Paul chapel and who was pastor in charge when the church was built, is now the presiding elder of the Chicago district. He is on his way back to St. Paul chapel. In looking over our exchangesc last week we noticed this: "Born with nothin', ain't got nothin', don't want nothin', won't have nothin'; die with nothin'." This can be applied to every suit of clothing (almost) that walks down the street with nothin' in them—Palladium. The baseball game at Handlan's park last Saturday was a victory for the Y. M. C. A.'s. Both the Missouri's and the Y. M. C. A.'s acquired themselves well, but it is a fact that the Y. M. C. A.'s did just a little better than the Missouri's, as the score was 14-12 in favor of the Y. M. C. A. We are pleased to note that the Demonstrator at Mound Bayou, Miss., reproduces in full the two articles in the Palladium of September 16th, those of "Sowing to the Wind," and "The Big Negroes," and their "Mushroom Society," it shows that the Palladium was right. Conditions point to higher prices for beef and pork. FACTS ABOUT ST. LOUIS St. Louis has an area of $62\%$ square miles. Its population is 714,290 which is growing at the rate of 25,000 a year.

The capital of the banks alone January 11 1905, was $23,975,000, and their surplus and profits was $29,620,682.86. Clearings in 1904 were $2,793,233,918, an increase of 11.3 per cent. over the clearing of 1903. This increase is greater than that of either New York, Chicago, Boston or Philadelphia. .JOTTINGS.

PATENT DRUGS AS INTOXICANTS. Patent medicines, composed chiefly of distilled liquors, have been placed by a ruling of the commissioner of internal revenue in the same category as other intoxicants. Druggists, country storekeepers, and other persons who sell them after December 1 will have to take out the same kind of government liquor dealer's license as saloonkeepers. Manufacturers will have to pay the same tax upon them to the federal government as the makers of other distilled liquors. After the ruling goes into effect the public will be surprised to find how wide is its application. The ruling of the commissioner of internal revenue is entirely proper. The only criticism to be offered is that the contrary ruling made by his department many years ago was not reversed long since. The manufacture and sale of so-called drugs which are practically nothing but liquors has been a fraud upon the federal revenues. While not paying the regular tax upon intoxicants, they have been sold and consumed as such in large quantities in prohibition communities. Their sale has been a much more serious and flagrant fraud upon the people. The thousands who have bought and taken them believing they would accomplish all the wonders described in advertisements and circulars have thereby only been made poorer both in purse and in health. It would be hard to characterize too severely the conduct of men who for the low purpose of dishonest gain put on the market as sovereign remedies cheap intoxicants which they know will do those who take them no good and may hasten their steps to the grave. State and city governments should follow the example of the national government and put these "medicines" in their proper category. Different opinions are held regarding the right and expediency of prohibiting them from being fraudulently foisted upon people under the guise of medicines. Mrs. Michael F. Smyth, of St. Louis, just happened along in time to see her husband in the act of entering a carriage with another woman dressed as a bride and he as bridegroom. She had him arrested.

Harvest home dinner was served Monday, September 26, from 1:30 to 11 y. m, Mrs. Garrett, vice-president. Mrs, Bush, secretary. Never in the history of St. Paul was ihere @ more fitting object lesson than {rom the fruitful harvest of the godd things from the soil of earth as was seen and taught by the able and elo- quent sermon delivered on that occa- sion from Psa. civ., 14th verse; also Gen. viii, 22d verse. Dr. W. D. Cook came from the east with his mind freighted with the customs of the east, bristling with new thoughts and ideas, and was assisted by his devoted wite and charming daughter, who delight in pleasing the good people. The church building was taxed to its limit in seat- ing and standing capacity. As the doc- tor ascended the rostrum last Sunday merning it seemed that a new dispensa- tion of Divine Providence had thrown open the bowels of the earth with ey- erything that is necessary to sustain one—for every chandelier, bracket hook or crevice was studded with some of the good things that the earth pro- duces for our good. As we said before, the sermon was the most able and eloquent that, in our judgment, we have ever heard. We might ask the question, Why? For this reason; Every word or gesture point- ed to some object that was before us that was produced for the good of men. Gen. viii, 22d verse, The evening services were grand.

DUMPING SEWAGE INTO THE ‘MISSISSIPPI. Outbreaks of typhoid fever in vari- ous places excite wonder at the indif- ference with which that disease is re- garded 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 drink- ing 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.

Stop that cough. Go and get Pick- ott’s Cuugh Drops te “SIMPLE AIDS TO BEAUTY. ‘There Is Nothing in the World Better tor the Skin Than Pure Rainwater. How often we wander far afield while what we want is at our feet, or within €asy reach of our hands. Years ago when skin specialists were few and far between, one famous woman, who in her Lifetime had commanded enormous prices, and had a huge clientele, was on Ler deathbed; a friend «esked her plainly what she could honestly and truthfully recommend as the best aid to beauty, and she murmured with al- most her last breath, “Eau de Ciel.” And Eau de Ciel remains the very best of ail simple remedies for the skin, the best promoter and preservative of a heallby, complexion. And yet, though it would be so easy to have rainwater always ready to hand, even in the driecL summer weather, no one takes any trouble to preserve it. In the couniry people do not quite neglect the <pporttnity, but very seldom does any- one try to acquire it in London, and yet an open trough on the roof and a water-butt in the area would effect the purpose, ‘The point is to have a suffi- cient quantity for the face and hands, and in doing so to keep it as free from biecks as possible. A French woman who has almost passed beyond middle age, yet has a skin almost as fresh and pure as a girl, manages to keep a small barre: almost. always full, about the size of those tamarinds that come in from the West Indies,‘or a keg that would hold a gallon, This she has poised outside her house, where it catches whatever rain falls; but the top is covered with a piece of coarse tammy, which allows all the moisture to drop into it, but keeps out dust and Dlacke. It is constantly being washed, and cnly enough is poured out of it daily to wash the face, and it is never kept in jugs for any length of time. Anyone who has taken the trouble to verify the difference beween the use of erdinary water and rain water cannot fail to realize that the skin becomes sofer and smoother. Our forbears, who have left behind them many wonderful receipts for the Ereservation of the skin, and decoc- tions of many kinds, some of them well worth trying, recommended soft water as the fundamental principle. ‘There are many most excellent ways of making water soft, but none of them are so good as the real thing, which needs no softening. ; ‘Take care of your health, Find out what suits you in the way of food, and never over-eat. Half one’s acquaint- ances are going abroad to drink the waters, simply because, to put the mat- ter plainly, they have “done them- | selves” too well and over-eaten. Noth- ing militates more against a good ap- pearance than an unhealthy-looking skin, ) Do not worry. Wrinkles and crows’- feet come all too soon, but you help them on the way when you “greet” un- duly, as the old Scotch women put it. Those who devote themselves to the treatment of the complexion will tell you not half the people who come to them can show a perfectly clean skin. Some’ have clogged the pores with pow- ders and ointments, half of them are afraid of thoroughly cleansing it and using very necessary friction. Do you remember the heroine who was advised before she entered a room to say “papa, potatoes, poultry, prunes, and prisms” In order to give the best expression to the mouth? Perhaps some one tries this even now sometimes; but there is wisdom in putting the face and features into the right expression, and neither allowing frowns nor a peevish twist of the lips to rest there. If you do they will become a constant accompa- niment to the face, and very difficult to eradicate, Prevention is far better than any cure, and we give ourselves endless trouble to cure what we might most eas- iiy have prevented. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Even the med- ical profession are beginning to realize that drugs are not tobe taken whole- sale. Take care of your health, and your complexion will take care of itself, was the advice of a physician of note, and, what is more, you will be proud of it. BEAUTY NOTES. Onions are almost the best nervine ‘known. They are most useful in cases of nervous prostration, and will greatly assist in toning up the sys- tem. They are useful in all cases of coughs, colds, influenza, scurvy and kindred complaints. Baten every other day, they soon have a whitening and cleafing effect on the complexion. ‘The teeth should be brushed off after each meal, If the gums bleed, do not be frightened; it often does them good. Never touch the teeth with a pin or any metal. Draw a silken thread between them to re- move particles of food; or, if that will not do, use a wooden toothpick. If you clean your teeth night and morn- ing, also after a moat meal, you will not only preserve them, but always have a fresh mouth and sweet breath. eg sti Black trimming is being used a great esl, especially on light-colored gowns, as i( (ones them up and makes a very striking trimming.

THE APPROVED FALL HAT. Like That of the Summer It Is Perched High on the Head by a ‘Bandeau. ‘The poise of the hat again this sea. son is of special importance. The new. est raodels are so placed in the head that in many instances they seem ab surd. These turn up at the back with the most exaggerated flares and tip over the nose with stingy front brims, says the Milliner, ‘These high back effects, with the ex- ception of the turban, is peculiar’ to them all. In many cases on the im- ‘ported models the front brim measure: two or two and a half inches in width ‘The sides run about five and the back run into seven and ten inches, This effect is exaggeratcd by the high bandeaus and the arrangement of feathers, ribbons and flowers. The equilibrium of the new hats is given by the bandeau, and im the ma- jority of these this bandeau extends all the way round the head size. ‘The bandeau has become so neces- sary @ part of the new frames that these are manufactured in all shapes, and may be had from any dealer. This is a great labor saving to the*milliner. Some of the Paris patterns are set on such high bandeaus that they are perched on the head at fairly dizzy angles. Full of color and of such saucy make-up, it is not likely that they will be teken so seriously this side of the water. Other bandeaux lift the hat at the left, while many of the newer models show the right side with upward curve. ‘The bandeau is used in all cases where the forward tilt is desired, and almost Beare coda hen aes Yawns for Health.

Contentment, like patience, Is a vir- tue, As a rule, no matter how muck one may gain, we still wish for more Once the spirit of avarice is aroused, it seems almost impossible to rise above it, We seldom realize that though we should gain the entire world we would still crave for more. While in a measure we cwe the progress of our American nation to the progressive and independent spirit of our forefathers, as a rule cur lives are happier if we accept our situation and the current of our lives in gen- eral as the will of God. In the path of life there are imnumerable happen- ings which are attributed to Provi- dence, but often our troubles are the result of oer own carelessness or in- difference. As far as genvine happiness goes there is more real contentment in the humble ttle home where love is the only reward than in some of the most luxurious mansions. What we need, urges Miss Jean C. Gulick, in New York Observer, {s courage. We may as well accept our trials cheer- fully as any other way, and make up our minds to “arise and shine.” To shine is not always possible, but to rise above a state of envy and depres- sion we can and we must if we have any desire to be happy. ‘The hero does not always die for the cause for which he fights. Often the one who lives for it is every inch as much a hero.

If we cultivate a cheerful, un- selfish and contented spirit and make the firm resolve that whatever hap: pens we will Le true, then we will have what few possess—contentment.

INTRODUCTORY. — We are now drawing near to the close of the 70 years (dating from the beginning of the. captivities B. C. 606-4) for which period Jeremiah had foretold that the exile should continue (Jer. 25:12). “The ex- files gradually acquired lands and houses, they lived in separate commua- ities, and were apparently allowed to maintain to some extent the social cus- toms and organizations of their native land (Bzek, 8:1; 14:1).”"—Ottley. “Na- tive qualities soon brought the Jews to the front in whatever land they were thrown."—Prof. B. 'T. Harper. Jere- miah’s prophecies still pervaded the moral atmosphere, Ezekiel’s voice was heard through the nation. The glorious visions and prophecies of the later chap- ters of Isaiah were stirring the hearts ‘of the faithful with hope and faith and courage. We now come to the providen- tial 2ovements which made the return possible A new king, and a new policy, now took possession of the empire that held the Jews captive. Cyrus, the Persian, conquered Babylon. ‘The nominal king of Babylon at this time was Nabonidus. He was a most scholar- ly man rather than ruler, interested in his country’s institutions, and makitig most valuable records on clay cylinders, ‘There is, says Mr. Pinches, “every prob- ability that Belshazzar, the sonof Na- bonidus, was the real ruler.” We have learned about Belshazzar from these tablets and inscriptions lately discov- ered in the ruins of Babylon. Cyrus, the “conqueror of Babylon, the king of Elam, Media and Persia, appears on the hori- zon at this time, advancing toward Babylon, in his victorious career, with his wide-extended troops, whose nam- bers “like the waters of a river could not be known.” He entered Babylon with- out fighting, which agrees with both Herodotus and Daniel. Belshazzar’s Great Feast.—Belshaz- zar was a youth flushed with the excite- nent of almost uncontrolled power. Eyen while Cyrus was approaching with his victorious army, the young man, secure in the unrivaled strength of his city defenses, made a great feast to a thousand of the nobles, probably in E-sagila, the magnificent temple of Belus, within the walls of Babylon. It was a wonder of the world. The walls were rich with images of the Chaldeans “painted in vermilion and exceeding in dyed attire,” on goodly horses, like those on the frieze of the Acropolis.— From Farrar, V. 17. “Let thy gifts be to thyself:” Keep them, do what yon will with them, Daniel will speak God’s truth without fear or favor, and the rich presents the king offered can have no influence what= ever. Vs. 18-22. “The most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar:" The true God 18 shown to be over all and above all, “And thou. . . hast not humbled thine heart:” etc. You have not sinned through ignorance, but have gone on in a wicked course in spite of, in defiance of, God's lessons of warning.

It is the same as if “Peres” was written twice, like “Mene,” for emphasis). V. 29. “Clothed Daniel with scarlet:” ‘The royal purple. “Third ruler in the ‘kingdom:” Either, one of three; oz, more probably, next under Belshazzar, who was the second, being under his father, Nabonidus, the king over all, Thus the Persian conquerors found ‘Daniel, the Jew, not in obscure retire- ‘ment, but occupying the position of an active statesman, and in a position to help his exiled countrymen, W.

It was found to keep delicate baby skins from chafing better than salve or powder, and the crowning note in the song of delight came when an adult member of the family used it in a full bath, and realized that a Turkish Bath at a cost of one dollar was outdone by a small fraction of the little, ten-cent, velvety cake.

PAINFUL PERIODS The Case of Miss Irene Crosby Is One of Thousands of Cures Made by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. How many women realize that menstruation is the balance wheel of a woman's life, and while no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it is not the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. Miss Irene Crosby Thousands of American women, however, have found relief from all monthly suffering by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it is the most thorough female regulator known to medical science. It cures the condition which causes so much discomfort and robs menstruation of its terrors. Miss Irene Crosby, of 313 Chalton Street East Savannah, Ga., writes: "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a true friend to woman. It has been of great benefit to me, curing me of irregular periods, and treating everything else had failed, and I gladly recommend it to other suffering women." Women who are troubled with painful or irregular menstruation, backache, bloating (or flatulence), leucorrhea, 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, Lynn, Mass., for further free advice. Thousands have been cured by so doing.

When she had finished, having a quarter of an inch of space at the end of her paper, she thought she would add something to the original, and wrote: "Whatever we and succeeding generations may think of Victor Hugo, we must agree on one thing, that he wrote good English." Church Built Without Nails. America holds the record in church construction. A church has been built here exclusively of vitrified clay, even the window frames being made of the same material. The decorative features are in terra cotta. The altar, communion rail, pulpit and front of organ loft are all terra cotta. The entire ceiling is of brick and tile vaulting, the keystones being of terra cotta and the ribs of the arches and the groins of molded brick. There is not an inch of timber or a nail in the entire structure. More Than Human. A performing monkey named Dolly is being treated for pneumonia at the Charing Cross hospital, London. When she was brought to the hospital a Dr. Strickland asked her where the pair was. She placed her hand on her chest. The doctors say she is "very human," though they add that "she does just what she is told and is most grateful," which is somewhat contradictory. Peculiarity of Dukhobers While a large band of Dukhobers, from Russia, were in London the other day on their way to Canada, many persons bought of them, for curios, some of their brass utensils. They refused to take more than what each utensil had actually cost them. They have all things in common. When a box of candy was given a little girl she at once distributed the contents. Self-Made. Joseph Chamberlain, the celebrated Englishman, is not a graduate of any university nor large public school.

The scene is a drug store, in a busy part of Broadway. When the action opens a pretty woman is demurely turning over the leaves of the city directory, reaches the Whitburne. Enter an inescible old man, who wants to find the address of a fellow who owes him money. He stands and wants impatiently, filling in the time by coughing suggestively. A business man in a hurry follows. He wants to know where John Brown lives. It is in the next street, but he has forgotten the number. He falls in his lap. Then a man who seeks some city official, but knows nothing of his office, except that it closes within a few minutes, joins the ranks of the waiters. Half a dozen others who wish to consult the directory gather around. Still the woman placidly turns leaf after leaf over, without evident intention to decide what name she seeks is Brown, Jones or Walsh. When there are fully half a score fumig, impatient people in line, enter a newspaper reporter.

Six Doctors Failed South Bend, Ind., Sept. 25 (Special). After suffering from Kidney Disease for three years; after taking treatment from six different doctors without getting relief Mr. J. O. Laudeman, of this place, found not only relief, but a speedy and complete cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills. Speaking of his cure, Mr. Laudeman says: "I was a little bit sick for three years, and tried six doctors to no good. Then I took just two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and they not only cured my kidneys, but gave me better health in general. Of course I recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to others, and I know a number now who are using him with good results." Mr. Laudeman's case is not an exception. Thousands give similar experience to others who have had Kidney Trouble from Backache to Bright's disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills could not cure. They are the only remedy that ever cured Bright's Disease. Boat Adrift Is Recovered in a Manner That Was Truly Re- "Yes," said the narrator of the story, according to the Chicago Tribune, "we got into the boat and rowed out to the island, eight miles away, and then we climbed up the hill to get the view. Along about noon we went back to the beach and to our consternation discovered that the boat had become loose from its moorings and had drifted across the bay to the other side." "Wasn't that awful!" exclaimed the girl with the sympathetic eyes. "Yes. There we were, eight miles from the mainland, with no means of communicating with our friends." "Terrible!" said the girl with the dropstitch waist. "What were we to do?" "What, indeed?" echoed the girl with the fluffy psyche knot. "Eight miles from the mainland, the day drawing to a close, no food, no shelter, and no way of getting word to our friends. How were we to get that boat over the yawning waste of water that separated us from shelter and comfort." But you are here now, so you must have got the boat at last." said the girl with the calm, self-controlled expression. "Well, after sizing up the situation, we eat down, and talked it over."

CHRONIC ERYSIPELAS Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Although Whole Body was Affected. Erysipelas or St. Anthony's fire is a most uncomfortable disease on account of the burning, the pain and the disfigurement; it is also a very grave disorder, attended always by the danger of involving vital organs in its spread. The case which follows will be read with great interest by all sufferers as it afforeth the whole body, and refused to yield to the remedies prescribed by the physician employed. Mrs. Ida A. Colbath, who was the victim of the attack, residing at No. 19 Winter street, Newburyport, Mass., says: "In June of 1903 I was taken ill with what at first appeared to be a fever. I sent for a physician who pronounced my disease chronic erysipelas and said it would be a long time before I got well. "Inflammation began on my face and spread all over my body. My eyes were swollen and seemed bulging out of their sockets. I was in a terrible plight and suffered the most intense pain throughout my body. The doctor said my case was a very severe one. Under his treatment, however, the inflammation did not diminish and the pains which shot through my body increased in severity. After being two months under his care, without any improvement, I dismissed him. "Shortly after this, on the advice of a friend, I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, two at a dose three times a day. After the second box had been used I was surprised to notice that the inflammation was going down and that the pains which used to cause me so much agony had disappeared. After using six boxes of the pills I was up and around the house attending to my household duties, as well as ever." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers in medicine or may be obtained direct from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y.

Suffered Agony and Had to Wear Bandages All the Time—Another Cure by Cuticura. Another cure by Cuticura is told of by Mrs. Cable, Carline, of Waupaca, Wis., in the following grateful letter: "My husband suffered agony with salt rheum on his hands, and I had to keep them bandaged all the time. We tried everything we could get, but nothing helped him until he used Cuticura. One set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills cured him entirely, and his hands have been so healed that he hopes this letter will be the means of helping some other sufferer." Couldn't Be Worse.

Our people have not as yet ar- rived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, He- brew and 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 Indies and gentlemen read Ue 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 to our people and the Negro papers to dis- p.nse news and information.
