No. 44. MRS. McKINLEY AS SHE A Death Has Claimed the Other Brother and Son. About two weeks ago James Bass, of 3906 Rutger street, passed into the realms above, with his mother and children at his bedside. Last Monday night at 9 o'clock Mr. Jeff. Bass died at his mother's home, 2600 North Leffingwell avenue. Thus we pass into the Great Beyond. It seems hard indeed for the mother to lay her two precious sons in the earth, and she be left alone to battle with the cares of life in her old days. Yet Christ has promised He will care for those who put their trust in Him. We deeply sympathize with the sister, Francis, and can only refer her to the promise of Christ. A. B. Mr. Bass was about 50 years of age, a kind and devoted son, and a loving father. He had been in poor health for four years, but in bed only since Friday. He had been praying since the death of his brother several weeks ago, and professed a hope in Christ last Monday. He was buried from St. Paul's chapel, Thursday, October 12, at 2 p. m. The musicians of which he was a member were present. The funeral was attended by Reverends Cook, Brown and Watson. Gone to Kansas City. Mrs. Laura Parker, of 2314 Morgan street, and Mrs. Ida Gaskin, of 2314 Morgan street, will leave to-morrow for Kansas City, Mo. They will spend several months with their friend, Mrs. Anna Madison. We wish them a pleasant trip and a prosperous stay while there. LYC Short Order OPEN ALL Hot Bread Served for Breakfast. Good Steaks and Chops a Regular Dinner Fresh Fish and Oysts MEALS ORDER AUTOMOBILE AND HACK RIDES Last Monday night the reporter for The Palladium was out early and late. Several girls on Lawton avenue and Walnut street tell their parents they want to walk down Market street. They do, and up comes an automobile. The same is closed, and in go the girls. This was about 8:30 or 9 p.m. They come back, and to put a blind on the thing, after letting some out on Market street, they came up Lawton avenue, and out the girls come. We ask where was the mother, or, if no mother, where was the guardian? About 8:30 a girl and a man were in front of the Negro Jefferson club. There was also a hackman out there; and for you to have heard that girl and boy beg the hackman to drive them it would have given you the yellow fever. At length in they went, and the driver said: "Don't put your feet on the seat." We ask where was the mother? She was not at home, but out working to make an honest dollar. We will tell; so look out. If we hear any noise about this we will give the number of the automobile. The Baptist State Convention. The women's convention convened last Tuesday in Hannibal, Mo., at 9 a.m., and adjourned Wednesday night. Much business of vital importance was transacted. The men's convention convened Thursday morning,and will adjourn to morrow night. Some of the delegates were Rev. Stevens, pastor of Central Baptist church; Rev. Mays, pastor of Corinthian Baptist church; Rev. E. C. Cole, pastor of First Baptist church; Rev. Venerable, pastor of Compton Hill Baptist church, and Rev. W. H. Davis, pastor of Mount Pleasant Baptist church. Information Wanted. Friends in St. Louis would like to know the whereabouts of Ella Upshaw, residing in Washington, D. C., and who was formerly Ella S. Plenor. Any information concerning this party will be gladly received at The Palladium office, 2617 Lawton avenue, St. Louis, Mo. Go to Douglass hall Monday night. The Forum club's affairs are first class ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1905. DANCING HALLS and BALL ROOMS Dancing Master Seeks Refuge in False Accusations. Strange indeed are the methods used by some people in their attempt to justify a public wrong, but it is the way of the world. It has been so since the day that Father Adam and Mother Eve broke the holy law, and so humanity seems doomed to continue. In past weeks several articles have appeared in the Palladium concerning the moral influences of "dance halls" and ball rooms. We had no particular dance hall in view, but treated the subject generally, as is the duty of any publication, but one dancing master takes exception to the articles and goes so far as to say that the manager of the Palladium is angry because he took his advertisement from the paper. This is untrue and a gross injustice. For more than twenty years the Palladium has been doing business in St. Louis, and we are willing to give $50 to any man or woman who can prove that we ever took notice to things so small as this accusation would imply. The Palladium has carried advertisements for the late Jeffery Bass, Luckey, Grant and others. They have all settled with us and we have no personal grievances against any of them. Whenever you hear a man making such a statement in the future, you can put him on record as mischief maker. It matters not to us whether the individual be a "Big Negro" or a little, insignificant Negro, he is mistaken, pure and simple. You can tell him so. There is only one bell on the Palladium, and that is on the front end. We never back up. The Palladium, as a public organ, reserves the right to condemn evil wherever found. In our sight and in the eye of Christianity these dance halls and ball rooms are public evils which should be suppressed, either by law or moral sentiment. If any two ministers (barring one) now pastoring in St. Louis will come to us and proclaim any of these dance halls as conducive to morality in the youthful Afro-American the Palladium will desist from further publications relative to those places. Until then, however, it is "Lay on, McDuff, and damned be he who first cries enough." The Palladium plays no favorites. "Big Negroes," "Little Negroes" and "Bad Negroes" all look alike to us when they get on the wrong side. Beyond the Reach of Toil and Care. Mrs. Fannie Burke, beloved wife of Henry Burke, of Dundee, Mo., died Wednesday, October 4, at 2 p. m. She was 52 years of age, and had been married eleven years to Mr. Henry Burke. Her death was very sudden. She was up and about the house, and died within a half hour's time. The funeral, which took place Friday, October 6, at 11 a. m., was attended by many friends of both sexes. Rev. W. H. Davis, of Mount Pleasant Baptist church, was present. Brick Strikes Negro on Head. While at work on a building at Tenth and Biddle streets the other day Huttig Yiggs, a negro, was struck on the head by a brick which had fallen from a hod, and severely cut and bruised. He was taken to the dispensary, where Dr. Humphrey dressed the wounds. Will Remove. Mr. L. W. Vinegar, of 806 North Fourteenth street, will move his place of business to 1331 Gay street. Mr. Vinegar has on hand and sells new and secondhand household goods. Give him a call. Farewell Testimonial The citizens of St. Louis will tender Mr. A. C. Cash, the former genial and obliging janitor of True Reformers' building, a farewell reception and banquet prior to his departure for Denver, to accept the position of state deputy of Colorado. The testimonial will take place at True Reformers' hall, Monday evening, October 23rd. The committee of arrangements is composed of Jas. W. Grant, Mary V. Mack, Willie B. Porter, Celestine A. Jones, Marina Wimberly, John B. Vashon and Andrew U. Grant. The music will be furnished by the Great Western band. All are cordially invited. LINGOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. GRANT'S LATEST IDEA. Sunday Afternoon Sacred Concerts. The first term of the scholastic year 1905-6 has thus far (three weeks) proved a record-breaker. The enrollment to date, October 9, is 331, and every day adds to the rapidly-growing number. Already it has been found necessary to divide classes, because of their size, and soon it will be necessary to make subdivisions. Students are here from the Pacific coast on the west, Gulf of Mexico on the south and the great lakes on the north. The college department has enrolled a larger number than usual, and all of the industries are overcrowded. Summer school students are sending in letters telling how much was gained in methods of teaching and subject matter; that they have been able to secure better positions with higher salaries, etc., because of the work accomplished during the seven weeks' course in Lincoln Institute. Graduates of this institution are constantly in demand to fill excellent positions as teachers, both within and without the state, and President Allen, who takes great pleasure in looking after their welfare, and who is always hunting them up, has been able to secure positions for nearly, or quite, all of the graduates of the past three years who have desired to teach. The football team is getting in shape for its annual triumphs on the gridiron. Meanwhile, the young ladies are enjoying exercise through croquet and other games on the campus. The psychology of the new education recognizes the fact that "all work and no play" is, to say the least, injurious. The literary and musical programme given October 6, the first of the season, by students from various normal classes, was of high character, and fully appreciated by all present. Mr. W. H. Grimshaw, author of "A History of Freemasonry Among the Colored People in North America," and to whom an appeal was made in a recent controversy between the Grand Lodges of Iowa and Missouri, is the distinguished father of Miss Mary E. Grimshaw, the talented head of the sewing department of Lincoln Institute. The Capitolian, a Jefferson City magazine, contains in the September number a fine sketch of the buildings and grounds of this institution. The many friends of the institution will read with great pleasure in the October number of the Missouri School Journal "The Missouri School System," in which occurs the following well-merited testimonial: "Lincoln Institute is a college, a normal school and industrial institute all in one. It is not to be surpassed by Tuskegee or Hampton in industrial features, although it is not advertised nearly so much. It is supported by the state, and does not have to appeal to the charitably inclined for support. There is no good reason for exploiting its merits. Too many students from other states seek admission now." IN MEMORIAM. Tina Mahoney. Nearer, dear Lord, to Thee, Nearer to Thy side; Unto Thy arms I flee, There safe to hide. Darkness is overcast, Sunlight is gone. Lord, calm the stormy blast; O, lead me home. I can not see my way, But I can trust. Thou wilt not lead astray, O, God, the just. Yea, nearer Lord, to Thee, Even by pain. Nearer, till Thy face I see, Smiling again. I sink now in Thy will, No harm to fear; Trusting and lying still, Till Thou come near. Farewell, now, to mother, The one I love so dear. May God and my dear sisters Your troubles and burdens bear. Till we meet in that sweet Heaven, Where cares and toils are no more. MRS. W. B. WILLIAMS BROWN, A True Friend. Dr. T. A. Curtis, the dentist, is now located in the Douglass building. His office, which is located on the second floor, room No. 15, has been refitted.

Bessie Callis, 9 years old, of No. 4026 Papin street, and Mamie Winhof, 8 years old, of No. 4035 Papin street, both Negroes, were struck by a southbound Suburban car, No. 146, at Sarah and Papin streets Thursday night and thrown to the sidewalk. Bessie Callis escaped injury, but Mamie Winhof's left foot was so severely injured that about one-half of it had to be amputated. Her left index finger was also severed at the first joint.

The preliminary trial of Miss Dixie Tuttle, of Audrain county, charged with sending anonymous improper letters through the mails, was tried at Montgomery before the United States commissioner, O. H. Thompson. Miss Tuttle was held for trial at the regular term of the federal court. The postmaster of Mexico, George Kimble, testified that he received these letters through his office Two of these he paid special attention to, as he had seen Miss Tuttle drop them in the mail box. They were addressed to two men at the Mexico public school. The court fixed Miss Tuttle's bond at $500, which she gave. Money May Be Spent in Trenton. The purchase of Avalon college, formerly controlled by Walter Vrooman in his co-operative scheme, by the Trenton school district, which proposition was indorsed by the people of Trenton at an election held September 30 has been ratified by the Missouri United Brethern conference, the present owners, in session at Brookfield. The building will be occupied at once as a city high school. An effort will be made to have the sale price, $10,000 appropriated for the erection of a new United Brethern church in Trenton. Note for 8146.375.43 Missing. Note for $146,375.43 MISSING. In the circuit court in Clayton county the attorney general, Mr. Hadley, made the assertion to Judge McElinney that the note of F. C. Lewis for $146,375.43, given for a loan by the People's United States bank to Lewis president of the bank, had disappeared and asked the court to issue an order to Receiver Frederick Essen requiring him to bring suit against Lewis and his associates, who indorsed the note, to recover it. Oldest Iron County Resident. Oldest Iron County Resident. Cyrus Russell, the oldest citizen of Iron county, died at his home at Ironton aged 86. He came to that place from Summers, Conn., in May, 1838. He had seen Ironton grow into existence and had lived in the same house in which he died for more than a half century. He was one of the founders of the Presbyterian church of Ironton, and has voted for every republican presidential candidate from John C. Fremont to Theodore Roosevelt. Corn Crop Cut Ten Per Cent. According to the report issued by the secretary of the state board of agriculture the corn crop of Missouri this year will amount to 233,000,000 bushels, a decrease since September estimate of 23,500,000 bushels. The crop estimate is based on an acreage of 7,076,000, with a yield per acre of 33 bushels. Because of the wet weather during last month many creeks and small rivers overflowed, causing a heavy loss. Kansas City Postoffice Business. During September 6,147,650 pieces of mail were received for delivery at the Kansas City postoffice. This is an increase of 19 per cent over the number received in August. Of this number 1,287,960 pieces originated in the city, and before delivery was made it was necessary to refer 94,572 pieces to the directory department to obtain corrections of defective or incomplete addresses. May Not Settle Police Question. The question of whether the St. Louis police are authorized to make arrests in St. Louis county, or any part of the state outside of the city of St. Louis, will in all probability not be put up to the supreme court at the present term, if at all. The police continue to invade the county every Sunday under the order of Gov. Folk to close the saloons. Oldest M. E. Minister Dead Word has been received from San Diego, Cal., announcing the death at that place of Rev. Alfred Henry Powell, aged 78 years. Rev. Mr. Powell was from Missouri, and was the oldest minister in the Methodist Episcopal church in the state in point of service. He entered the ministry in 1850 and founded the first Methodist church in Kansas City. Make One Automobile Per Day. An automobile factory, employing more than 300 skilled mechanics, with a capacity for turning out one completely equipped first class automobile per day, will begin operating in Kansas City on December 20. Discharge Workmen at De Soto. An order issued for a general cut in the working force in the De Soto railroad shops has culminated in the discharge of 75 per cent. of the force. Over 500 men are involved. Representative Lamb Resigns. Gov. Folk has received the resignation of Representative Lamb, of Daviess county. Mr. Lamb is the sixth member of the present legislature to resign. Unidentified Boy Beheaded. The headless body of an unidentified boy apparently about 19 years old, was found beside the Iron Mountain railroad track at Lesperance. The head lay three feet away. In the clothing was found $1.60. Assistant Postmaster Arrested. Elbert Glenn, assistant postmaster at Malden, has been arrested by secret service agents on a charge of rifling registered letters of sums aggregating several hundred dollars. He was taken to jail at Jackson. Trying the Outdoor Cure. That the open air treatment in the Ozark region will cure tuberculosis is being very hopefully demonstrated in Carthage. Miss Grace Hughes, 18 years old, living on South Main street, became bedfast and her physician pronounced her case quick consumption. Dr. R. W. Webster advised the "open air treatment," and the girl has slept out of doors since, with the result that she is able now to leave her cot. It has long been believed by physicians that the open air, lived in continuously would cure consumption, but this is the first experiment there. Miss Hughes spends her days in a tent and sleeps outdoors. The national bureau of vital statistics says that Carthage has the lowest death rate of any city in the United States. St. Joseph Terminal Land has been purchased by the Missouri Pacific railroad company in St. Joseph for the location of a system of terminals on which about $1,000,000 will be expended. The line will be extended from Atchison to St. Joseph, which will be made the terminal of the Central branch. A site has been selected already for a new freight house. To hold title to the ground and terminals the Missouri Pacific has incorporated the St. Joseph & Central Branch Railway company. Justice Admits Oppression. A. J. Liddil, justice of the peace at Independence, a confederate veteran and one of the lieutenants of Quantrell, the guerilla, pleaded guilty in the criminal court at Kansas City to a charge of malfeasance and oppression in office. He was given a light fine, which was paid promptly. This conviction, under the laws of Missouri, acts not only as an ouster from office, but forever debars Liddil from holding office in this state. Joplin Saloons Obey the Law. A tidal wave of reformation has struck Joplin and is making sweeping changes in conditions. Joplin saloon men for many years have been allowed to keep open saloons in violation of the Sunday closing law, but so earnest have the anti-saloon workers of the city been that they have succeeded in putting on the "lid" so tight that there is no violation of the closing law now. Killed Under Drilling Engine. The well-drilling outfit of Harverstick Bros., in crossing the wagon road bridge at Victoria, broke through on the east approach and the engine, drill machine and water wagon fell 20 feet to the ground, carrying with the wreckage the engineer, Fred Hellbig, and Charles Harverstick. Hellbig's chest and both legs were crushed and he died in about 30 minutes. Harverstick was severely but not fatally bruised. Fell Asleep on a Track Tie. Otha Conkle, a Missouri Pacific brakeman, son of Frank Conkle, a conductor, went to sleep on the end of a tie at Smithton while waiting for the fast express to pass. He was hit by the passenger engine and knocked almost off the company's right of way. He was taken to the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway hospital at Sedalia in a critical condition. No Class Rush at M. S. U. No Class Rush at M. S. U. After the question had been thoroughly discussed by every class in the University of Missouri, it has been decided that there will be no freshman-sophomore class rush this year. In the place of the class rush a sophomore-freshman track meet has been arranged for October 25. Many of the men are training for the contest and the two classes are about evenly matched. Southwest Missouri Doctors Meet. The John T. Hodges Medical Society, embracing the counties of Cass, Bates, Vernon and Barton, held its annual meeting in Nevada. Various topics of interest to the medical fraternity were discussed, after which officers were elected. It was decided to hold the next meeting of the organization in Lamar on the second Wednesday in January, 1906. Overlooked Cash Register. The safe in the grocery establishment of Ratliff & Scott, of Trenton, was blown open and robbed during the night. The cracksmen secured only $64 in cash. Valuable papers removed from the safe were found a mile from the scene of the robbery. A cash register standing open near the safe and containing considerable money was overlooked. Killed by an Unknown. "Jim" Gordon, check weighman in Sunshine mine at Clark was shot and killed by an unknown person while standing in a store. The murderer has not been captured and no clew can be obtained as to his whereabouts. Quarantine Lifted. Secretary J. A. B. Adcock, of the state board of health, has issued an order that the quarantine instituted in Missouri because of yellow fever in the south be rescinded. The order takes effect at once.

We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command. There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each..... 30 Illinois and North Carolin, 12 each..... 24 Mississippi..... 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas..... 12 Missouri..... 9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each..... 18 Washington, D. C..... 4 Virginia and Tennesse, 4 each..... 8 California, Ohio, New Jersey and New York each have 3 ..... Kansas, Nebraska, Maryland and Colorado, each 8..... 12 Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Indian Territory have one each..... 7 Territory have on each..... 7 Published in the south..... 101 Published in the west..... 44 Published in the east..... 26 Total..... 171 And yet there are what are called political and pocket newspapers. We have about 20 of them that last sometimes a year. The whites are flooded down with them. Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side ESTABLISHED 12 YEARS DO NOT equipment, sundry big free Sundry S with weekly white papers of this country. Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispense news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and orilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. 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.

LOUIS, MO. --- RELIGIOUS MATTERS "I have learned my lesson of faith," I said; "Let me have my meed of the light." But the Teacher lovingly shook his head; "Tis not faith that asks for sight, And the gist of your lesson is yet to learn, If you cry for the day in the night. "For Faith is an eagle skilled to fly On pinions of trust unbound, And it soars in the face of the stormy sky With a confidence profound, That joys in the rush of the beating air Without a thought of the ground. "And your meed, my child, for a lesson learned, Is a call to a bolder flight, With its chance for a stronger stroke of the wing And the gleam of an inner light, Which knows no choice in its vision keen Between the day and the night." -P. W. Crannell, in Service. NO JOY WITHOUT THORNS. It Is One of the Disciplines of Life Which Makes It Worth While Livi g. There is no joy without its sorrow, just as there is no rose without its thorn. Friendship means discipline; love means sacrifice; riches mean responsibility; power means service. Not one of these things will bring unmitigated happiness. Every one of them has its attending sharp thorns, and to hope to get the rose without the thorns is to be grievously mistaken. Whoever takes unto himself new ties of affection increases his chances of suffering. It may make little difference to you what happens to a person for whom you do not care, or how such a one may treat you. But attach yourself to that person by the bonds of friendship or love, and instantly he obtains a power over your life which can cause you the greatest sorrow. His illness or misfortunes hurt you almost as badly as your own. If he should die, a great black shadow would come over your life. If he is cold or careless you are bitterly wounded. In a thousand ways he can make you suffer as a person for whom you cared nothing would be utterly powerless to do. This is the penalty for love or friendship or every tie of affection. It doubles our joy, but it also doubles our griefs, and vastly increases our capacity for suffering. There is something terrifying about these close human associations which have such tremendous power over us. We shrink from assuming them. Sometimes it seems better to go through life cold and self-centered, caring deeply for none, depending on no one's affection and tenderness. Thus, we reason, we may maintain the calm, unshaken poise impossible to him whose happiness depends in any degree upon others. This is poor reasoning. It is true that one who loves no one nor is loved by any spares himself the pangs of grief which come with affection; but it is also true that he only half lives. He misses those emotions, both of pleasure and pain, which are necessary to make a complete, well-rounded character. Both the sorrow and the joy of life are needed for its ripening. We dare not shirk the one through fear of the other. The strong heart will accept love, accept friendship, accept the sorrow they bring, and, knowing it all to be a part of life, will smile through its tears, and say: "It was worth the sacrifice. Without the joy I should never have known the beauty of life. Without the sorrow I should never have known life's meaning."—Philadelphia Bulletin. GOLD DUST.

Wish to be a child of God, and then sunshine and frost, and friends and enemies, and youth and age, and business and pleasures, and all things, will help to make you.—Euthanasy. The only humility that is really ours is not that which we try to show before God in prayer, but that which we carry with us and carry out in our ordinary conduct.—Andrew Murray. Self-denial is the first lesson to be learned in Christ's school and poverty of spirit entitled to the first beatitude. The foundation of all other graces is laid in humility. Those who would build high must begin low.—Matthew tienry. In the Time of Trouble. It is in the time of trouble, when some to whom we may have looked for consolation and encouragement regard us with coldness, and others, perhaps, treat us with hostility, that the warmth of the friendly heart and the support of the friendly hand acquire increased value, and demand additional gratitude.

SUPERVISION OF INSURANCE Many of the Conceded Evils of the Insurance System Due to Conditions For Which the Companies Are Not Responsible. Chicago, Oct. 13.—"There is a supervision of insurance more potent than that of state or federal laws. It is the supervision of public opinion. Of all institutions the insurance company most depends upon public sentiment for its very existence." This was the opening sentence of an address Thursday by James M. Beck, of New York, to the Fire Underwriters' Association of the Northwest, in session in this city. "No one pretends," he went on, "that the present insurance system, either in theory or practical administration, is incapable of improvement. It was not perfect, it is not perfect and never will be perfect as long as the human mind is progressive. The people, in their sober, second thought, will perceive that many of the conceded evils of the insurance system are due to conditions for which the insurance companies are not responsible. Of Incalculable Value. "The New York investigation will be of incalculable value if it brings the American people to a full realization of the system of federated anarchy, under which, so far as insurance is concerned, we are living, and to which the worst evils developed by the investigating committee are primarily attributable. Legislative Highwaymen. "Let those who complain of the large sums expended by insurance companies to defeat oppressive legislation, remember that the insurance companies rarely spend a dollar to secure favorable legislation. They ask no appropriation, they claim no right of way. Let our stern moralists visit their greatest condemnation upon the legislative highwaymen, who hold up these great business interests, and above all, upon an indifferent people, who clothe the highwaymen with the power to hold up their victims. Insurance System is Sick. "The insurance system is sick, but too many doctors are crowding at the bedside to give any prospect of a full recovery. For this intolerable condition there is but one remedy, and that is federal supervision. It would have come long ago but for the doubt cast by the courts upon the power of the federal government to supervise interstate transactions in insurance as a species of interstate commerce. Recent decisions of the supreme court unquestionably indicate a tendency of that great tribunal to modify the narrower doctrine of earlier years as to the scope of interest commerce. What the People Need They Get. "This much is sure: That what the American people imperatively need, in the matter of government, they ultimately get it, and either by judicial interpretation or by formal amendment, the central government will one day assume the supervision of this most important and beneficent form of interstate intercourse." TO COURT OF LAST RESORT Denied Change of Venue, Armitage Mathews Jumps From Window and Kills Himself. New York, Oct. 13.—Armitage Mathews, secretary of the corporation committee, killed himself by jumping from a window of his residence. Mathews was under indictment charged with looting an estate of which he had charge. A change of venue had been denied in Mathews' case. The charge against Mathews grew out of the wrecking of the Federal bank and the plundering of the Weisel estate by David Rothschild, president of the bank. FOR MANY YEARS UNWASHED The Ground on Which an Iowa Farmer's Wife Asks For a Divorce and Allony. Marshalltown, Ia., Oct. 13.—Because, as the plaintiff alleges, her husband, has not bathed for 22 years, and brags of the fact, Mrs. Phoebe Neumann, wife of a farmer, filed a petition for divorce. She asks the custody of seven minor children and $8,000 alimony, or one third of the defendant's property. To Abandon Local Sunday Trains. Chicago, Oct. 13.—The Chicago & Alton has decided to discontinue all local passenger and freight trains on Sunday. The schedules of through trains will not be affected. Mlax Cornelia M. Dow.

WAND EXERCISE FOR CHILD Directions for the Proper Employment of This Light-Weight Apparatus —Do Not Continue Long. The wand is a safe and satisfactory form of apparatus for the little people. If you are giving the little daughter or her brother home lessons in physical culture, provide them with wands and see how much their lagging interest will revive. Any apparatus awaens interest, and unless the interest can be kept up the work is practically useless. The wand gives grace and strength, and it is always a favorite with children. To begin with, it is understood that the children have an erect position and carriage throughout. First.—Let the wand be held horizontally in front, as low as the arms will reach with the body erect. Now A girl in a dress hangs a bar. GOOD FOR THE SHOULDERS. raise it, keeping the arms out straight during the swing, until it is on a level with the shoulders. Return, raise—count "one, two" for this. Second.—Raise the wand to the shoulder level, then extend the right arm straight out to' the right, letting the wand follow it while held horizontal, the wand resting between right thumb and fingers. The left arm follows until its hand is against the chest. Lower to first position, raise, lower, and so on. Then raise to the left, lower, raise. Finally, give the exercise alternately in this way: Position, raise to right, lower; raise to left, lower, and so on. This is known as aiming to right and left. Third—Raise the wand until it rests against the chest. The elbows will naturally bend themselves to suit the need. The wand should be raised nearly to the throat. Now teach some simple foot and leg exercise to be combined with these three motions, so that the circulation of the whole body may be stirred at once. Rising on the toes can be combined beneficially with any of them. Pointing the toes, first right, then left, can be used—this means placing the toe forward and holding the heels high while the toe barely touches the floor. This, on account of the alternate right and left movement, accompanies the second well. The foot is returned to place when the wand is lowered. Fourth.—Wand in position, which means down, in front and horizontal. Bend the trunk to the right as far as it will go, letting the waist do all the bending. Bend to left. Alternate in rather slow counts. Fifth.—Raise the wand high above the head until the arms are stretched vertically to the utmost. Lower to position. Raise. Continue. Sixth.—Raise the wand from position to a level with the shoulders, holding it at arm's length in front. Rise on toes, lower heels to floor, rise, and so on, all the time holding the wand in the same position. the arms will tire soon; do not keep up the work after weariness shows its first symptom. In all the work watch carefully for this. Children fatigue very readily in one motion, although they can keep up the exercise for some time if it is continually shifted from one part of the body to another. Thus after an exercise which throws the chief strain upon the legs, let the leg muscles rest awhile and make the arms work vigorously. At the Autumn Wedding. Empire styles will be a popular note for the fall wedding, as more than one bridal gown is planned in short waisted effect, and it is a particularly picturesque style for the bridemaids or maid of honor of the tall and slender type. It also gives a pretty chance to substitute the little Juliet cap for the hat at an evening wedding. This is a little three-cornered contrivance which fits in between the front and back of the hair and reaches from car to car. They are seen at many evening weddings, and are especially pretty with the Juliet style of gown. They may be made of wired lace or silver cords sewed to tiny wires, or of Roman pearl beads strung in the same way, and are so simple that they can easily be home made, although being as yet an imported novelty they are expensive to buy. At one wedding the maids wore long italian gowns of soft cream satin, with square neck and high puffed sleeves, and wore with them these little caps made in silver lace. Fat Shoulder-Blades It is difficult to reduce fat shoulder blades. You might try a system of physical culture. Lift your shoulders as high as you can. Wag them two or three times, work the shoulder in its sockets and lower them. This if done 15 minutes a day may reduce your fat shoulders. It is a system being tried by a physical culture club of London. Gray Veils. Pale gray veils have become immensely popular. Duties of Maid of Honor and the Best Man—The Reception After the Ceremony. The subject of weddings is one of general interest to brides-elect and to their parents and relatives, and there are many details upon which information is desired, even by those who for various reasons intend to be married with little of festivity and display. The head bridesmaid has but slight duties to perform. She heads the bevy of grown-up bridesmaids, both on arrival and departure, to and fro in the nave; she takes the bride's gloves and bouquet from her at the commencement of the service, signs the register in the vestry, where she returns them to her keeping. She sometimes accompanies the bride when she goes to her room to change her dress, but oftener remains with the other bridesmaids and heads the party when stationed in the hall or on the staircase to see the bridal pair off. The duties of the best man are also very slight beyond what has been already alluded to. He sees the bride and bridegroom to their carriage, also the bridesmaids to theirs, and often assists many of the relatives and guests in getting away from the church. He afterwards at the reception takes the head bridesmaid to the tea room for tea. He returns thanks when the bridesmaids' healths are proposed in a few neat sentences; he sees the bride and bridegroom off, and then follows to the railway station and gives them another send off; he shadows the bridegroom through the whole of the day's proceedings. The choice of a best man invariably falls upon the most intimate bachelor friend of the bridegroom or upon his brother. At wedding receptions the bride's parents shake hands with all the guests as they are announced, whether acquainted with them or not; they stand on the staircase or at the entrance of the reception room. The bride and bridegroom also receive and shake hands with the guests, but they take up a position within the drawing-room, and the guests make their way to them. They stand side by side until almost all have arrived, when they either join different groups of friends in the reception room, or group themselves with the bridesmaids in garden or hall to be photographed before going into the tea room. This delays their entrance into the refreshment room, and thus many of the guests are there assembled before they make their appearance. When they enter they form a group, and the one selected proposes the health of the bride and bridegroom in a few words, to which the latter responds equally briefly. He then proposes the health of the bridesmaids, to which the best man replies. When a luncheon is given more formality is observed. The bride and bridegroom sit, together, and the bridesmaids with the groomsmen. The majority of the guests, however, at crowded weddings go in quite informally and as they can best find room, ladies together, or a man piloting two ladies through the crowd of guests, some entering, some leaving the luncheon room. AIDS FOR BEAUTY WOES. To Get Rid of Lines and Wrinkles— Hot Water with Cold Dashes for Complexion. Lines and wrinkles can be accounted for. If they come from worry or grief they will remain until the cause is removed. If the worry is not very serious the wrinkles can all be effaced with a little care. People who perspire easily do not wrinkle, and generally have a fine, clear skin; it is, therefore, a good thing to induce free perspiration by exercise and hot baths. The face should be steamed, to soften the skin and smooth out the lines; it must then be bathed in cold water. This will act as a tonic and make the flesh firm and pink. A muddy complexion will be greatly benefited by a course of mineral waters. Too much uric acid in the system is responsible very often for a course, sallow skin. This may be entirely remedied by taking a dose of Rochelle salts (one to three teaspoonfuls, as necessary) every morning for a few weeks. This treatment is also good for anyone with a rheumatic tendency. Superfluous hair, that most distressing of all blemishes to a woman, can be entirely removed by a piece of toilet pumicestone. It must be passed firmly but lightly over the skin, care being taken not to chafe it. It is better to do this at bedtime, afterward applying a little cream to the parts (without rubbing), which should be left on all night. This is a perfectly harmless remedy and I hope it will meet the eyes of many who may be tempted to try depilatories, which only promote the growth of hair and too often injure the skin. Dandruff and some scalp troubles are greatly improved by the use of resinol soap, but a fine-tooth comb used two or three times a week keeps the hair in excellent order. If there is much dandruff it is a good thing to use some carbolized vaseline on the scalp each time before the hair is washed. To Reduce Waist and Throat If you want to reduce your waist, dress loosely and exercise. If you want to reduce your throat follow the same principles. That is the only way you will ever have the nice little neck which you admire in life and the long, slender, swanlike throat which you read about in the novels. Your neck, if it is fat, will stay fat to the end of time unless you treat it in some such way. The Bit of Black For a toilet to be absolutely fashionable at this moment it must have a touch of black about it somewhere. 900 DROPS CASTORIA A Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerfulness and Rest.

A clergyman was very fond of a particular hot brand of pickles, and finding great difficulty in procuring the same sort at hotels when traveling, always carving hot pickles and relating them. One day when dining at a restaurant with his pickles in front of him a stranger sat down at the same table, and, with an American accent, presently asked the minister to pass the pickles. The minister, who enjoyed the joke, politely passed the bottle, and the minister, the satisfaction of seeing the Yankee watering at the eyes and gasping for breath. "I guess," said the latter, "that you are parson?" "Yes, my friend, I am," replied the minister. "I suppose you preach?" asked the Yankee. "Yes, sir; I preach twice a week, usually," said the minister. "Do you ever preach about hell fire?" inquired the Yankee. "Yes; I sometimes consider it my duty to remind my congregation of eternal punishment," returned the minister. "I thought so," rejoined the Yankee, "but you are the first of your class I ever met who carried samples." Best in the World.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Mrs. Pinkham's Advice. A devoted mother seems to listen to every call of duty excepting the supreme one that tells her to guard her health, and before she realizes it some derangement of the female organs has manifested itself, and nervousness and irritability take the place of happiness and amiability. Mrs. Ph. Hoffman Tired, nervous and irritable, the mother is unfit to care for her children, and her condition ruins the child's disposition and reacts upon herself. The mother should not be blamed, as she no doubt is suffering with backache, headache, bearing-down pains or displacement, making life a burden. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the unfailing cure for this condition. It strengthens the female organs and permanently cures all displacements and irregularities. Such testimony as the following should convince women of its value: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I want to tell you how much good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done me. I suffered for eight years with ovarian troubles. I was nervous, tired and irritable, and it did not seem as though I could stand it any longer, as I had five children to care for. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended and it has ennured me. I was nervous, tired and irritable, and it did not seem as though I could stand it any longer, as I had five children to care for.

Comment and Suggestive Thought. __ INTRODUCTORY. — Even _ before the beginning of the exile, when it was only threatened, there was joined with the warning a promise of restora. tion. See Isa, 10 and 11. Assyria the oppressor should be destroyed like a ‘eedar, though it towered like the huge cedars of Lebanon (Isa. 10:12-19, 24, 83, 34; comp. Ezek. 31:31. Isaiah again and again prophesies the Returr (chapters 40-66) and even names Cyrus as the one through whom it should come. Through Bzekiel come promises of the new heart which would render the return morally pos sible (Ezek. 11 and 36). He pictures the valley of dry bones, symbolizing the condition of Israel in captivity, again coming to life in the return (Bzek. 37). See Ezek. 20, 33, 34. ‘The whole of Ezekiel, as of Isaiah, is an effort, through threats and denuncia- tions of sin, through appeals to do bet- ter, through promises and visions of hope, to make the people return spir- itually to God, that they might return in visible reality. And he foretells how the nations were so controlled that a restoration of the Jews would be possible. Jeremiah, making the same appeals, goes farther and points out the time when the return can oe made, 70 years after the captivity (Jer. 25:12; 29:10). V.1. “In the first -year of Cyrus king of Persia:” Not his first year as king of Persia (B. ©. 546), but either as conqueror of Babylon (538) or the first year of his personal rule at Babylon after his other conquests (536). “The. word of the Lord by » . « Jeremiah” (25:12; 29:10) promising that he would bring about a return from captivity after 70 years. “The Lord (Jehovah) stirred up the spirit of Cyrus:” It is quite possi ble, it is even implied in the narrative here, that Daniel, or some prominent Jew, called the attention of Cyrus to the prophecy in Jeremiah, and” espe- alally the remarkable prophecy in Isa. 44:26-28; 45:1. V. 2. “Thus saith Cyrus:” It is probable that the author here gives the substance of the proclamation, and not the full official document. “He bath charged me:” He accepted the prophecies as a charge from the God of the Jews. V. 3. “Who fs there among you:” ‘The return was to be a volunteer movement which in all respects was the best both for the purpose of Cyrus and for the new Jewish settlement. The “God of Israel . . . which ir in Jerusalem:” As the chief seat of his worship. V. 4. “And whosoever remaineth,” R. V., “is left” of the captives, survives. Connect in any place where he so- Journeth, without a comma, with let the men of his place, his heathen neighbors, help him with silver, etc., give him funds for his journey, and the freewill offering in ald of the tem- ple. V. 5. “Then rose up the chief of the fathers:” The Return described In to-day's lesson was under Zerub- babel a prince of the royal line of David, called the Tirshatha, or Pasha (Bzra 2:63), and under Jestua, the hereditary high priest (Ezra 3:8). These were among the “chief of the fathers . . . and the priests.” V. 6. “And all they that were about them:” Their heathen neighbors and friends, as in Egypt at the time of the exodus. V. 7. “Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord:” “Nebuchadnezzar little thought that he was unconsciously preserving the sacred vessels of Israel in a safe and inviolable stronghold, ti the day when Jehovah would bring about their restoration to His people.” V. 8 “By the hand of Mithredath” (given by, or dedicated to Mithra, the sun-god). He had these treasures in his charge. “Sheshbazzar” (fire- worshiper): The Persian name of Zerubbabel (born in Babylon). 11. “AN the vessels . . . were five thousand and four bundred:” This is mora than double the sum of the preceding numbers—2,499. It is ‘probable that only the larger or more costly vessels were numbered in de- tail, and the 5,400 includes a great number of smaller and less costly ey ee ar oe a ea a Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed : li d| ee Na ee) a ~avaeie ANTL-GRIPINE RUPTURE sso CURED Ka Ne a OP A ze Ri PTUR [ PERMANENTLY CUR D ANTEGRIPINE y ani, Hk G00, ADAGE fo nega, | NO PAY UNTIL CURED. 24:12:00 cevet. meena wolaueriauae Bo?

Dr. Crews has been in our city for a number of years, and by his gentlemanly bearing, and being a skillful surgeon, he has made many friends, who will stand by him in this undertaking. His brother, who has been with the Taylor drug store since it was opened, will be in business with him. He has proved himself a first-class druggist, and has made many friends that will be lasting. Really this will be the most complete drug store in the city—fresh drugs daily. This, together with courteous treatment, will make this store the center of attraction. We bespeak for them a successful business. Of the total number of men employed as miners in the United States, reliable estimates places 35 per cent. of them as metal miners and 65 per cent. coal.

She would be pleased to find her. Pickatt's Headache Powders give instant relief. 2601 Lawton Avenue THE OPEN DOOR OF VICE. THE OPEN DOOR OF VICE. Ballrooms and Dancing Schools Ruining Our Girls. 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 unscrupulous 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. The Forum club will celebrate its eleventh anniversary at Douglass hall, Monday night, October 16, 1905. There will be dancing with music by the World's Fair band. Admission 35 cents. Some years ago Bishop Phillips Brooks was recovering from an illness, and was denying himself to all visitors, when Robert Ingersoll called. The bishop received him at one. "I appreciate this very much," said Mr. Ingersoll, "but why do you see me when you deny yourself to your friends?" "It is this way," said the bishop; "I feel confident of seeing my friends in the next world, but this may be my last chance of seeing you."
