C.'s gave their annual Thanksgiving dance in honor of the football teams at True Reformers' hall, and never in the annals of the hall has it ever known a larger, more agreeable or social gathering. The girls were honored by both the presence of the Louisville team and the Sumner high school eleven, of whom all St. Louis is proud. At almost every glance you gazed upon maroon and white. The hall was beautifully decorated, the large post being elaborately decorated with gold and black in honor of the visiting team from Central high, and the others with maroon and white in honor of faithful old Sumner. The Chicago team and also a few of the Lincoln Institute Tigers were present. The girls of this noted club deserve much credit for the manner in which they conducted the affair; every one seemed to know her duty and attended to it accordingly. They were dressed in white, and presented a very charming appearance as they moved from place to place performing their duties. Misses Nettie Stewart, Lula Flint and Mary Hicks, of Louisville, Ky., were present, also Professors S. P. Johnson and Harris, of the Central high faculty. Mr. John T. Clark, coach for the Louisville team, was present, also Mr. Cary Lewis, who seemingly enjoyed himself very much. Doctors Curtis and Stafford were also present, and seemed to be spending the evening very pleasantly. Prof. James W. Grant was master of ceremonies. As we wandered through the T. C. G. C.'s on Thanksgiving night we noticed Misses Alice Simms and Sis Henderson eating ice cream, and behold, a doctor was between them. Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Female Trouble.

THE HEROINES OF JERICHO Gave a Grand United Display Last Thursday at Masonic One of the most honored and successful entertainments was given by the order of the Heroines of Jericho last Wednesday. It was late when we got there, but after several attempts we got in. On entering the hall our gaze was met by a splendid display of regalia, and beautiful women and men of honorable distinction. Almost for the first time we saw the lines strictly drawn between the loose men and women. We saw several dudes and merry-go-round-women, but you could readily see they were out of their place, and they were not wanted there. To a great extent the confident man and woman and ex-convicts were not there. We saw only two, that we knew to be ex-convicts, from Jefferson City, and the St. Louis work house. Our big brother, W. C. G., was there in company with the dressmaker on Finney avenue. Mrs. Iga Lucas and husband of 105 North Sixteenth street, were present. The dashing Mrs. Wiley and daughter, of 2210 Walnut street, were also out. We also noticed Mrs. Gillispie, of 6113 South Ninth street, and Mr. Porter, of 6100 South Ninth street. Mrs. Hampton, of 1422 Michigan avenue, was there also. Mrs. Hattie Williams, of the S. M. T., was on deck, also her husband. Mrs. Mayo and her two daughters, of 2757 Goodfellow avenue, were there. Oh, yes, also the other daughter who stopped school to marry a man. Mrs. Harris, of 2621 Papin street, was also on hand. Many others whom we failed to get their names, but knew their faces were on deck. It was a ray of beautiful women, and honorable men, which represented the better class of our people. DR. W. D.

AND COOKER BAR MATTERS IN NEED OF LEGISLA TION BROUGHT TO ATTEN TION OF CONGRESS. RECOMMENDATIONS MADE ON SEVERAL SUBJECTS Increased Power for Interstate Commerce Favored as Cure for Railroad Rebate Evil—Insurance and Labor Questions. Washington, Dec. 5—In his annual message to congress, the president brings several matters to the attention of the nation's lawmakers upon which, in his estimation, legislation is necessary. Recommendations are made for new laws and advised in statutes already enacted, made necessary by changel conditions. The complete message is a document of almost 25,000 words. The only reference made to tariff revisions is in the paragraph devoted to national revenues, where he declared that unless our expenditures can be kept within the maximum allowance laws must be readjusted. What form this readjustment should take, if it is needed, he declares it is as yet too early to say. Control of Corporations. The president devotes considerable space to the discussion of the great corporations of the country, and particularly the railroads. He believes the time has come when they should be placed under federal control, and he looks back looking to this end. The railroad rebate evil is deplored, and he advises action that would abolish it. He believes the present interstate commerce laws are inadequate and that if the commission were endowed with the power to solve the vexed problem. In this connection he says: Railroad Rate Regulation. He strongly protests against radical or harsh action in stopping the rebate evil, and then goes on to say: "I do not believe in the government interfering with private business more than is necessary. I do not believe in the government undertaking any work which can with propriety be left in private hands. But neither do I believe in the government finching from overseeing work when it becomes evident that abuses of the government occur unless there is governmental supervision. Not my province to indicate the exact terms of the law which should be enacted; but I call the attention of the congress to certain existing conditions with which it is desirable to deal. In my judgment the most important provision which such law should contain is that conferring upon the government administrative body the power to develop a case being brought before it, whether a given description by a railroad is reasonable and just, and if it is found to be unreasonable and unjust, then after full investigation of the complaint, to prescribe the limit of rate beyond which it shall be lawful to go—the maximum reasonable rate, as it is commonly called—it this decision to go into effect within a reasonable time and to obey the court's order, to review by the courts. It sometimes has happened, not that a rate is too high but that a favored shipper is given too low a rate. In such cases the commission would have the right to fix this already established minimum rate as the maximum; and it would need only one or two such decisions by the commission to cure railroad commissions of the practice of giving improper minimum rates, to attention to the fact that my proposal is to give the commission power to initiate or originate rates generally, but to regulate a rate already fixed or originated by the roads, upon complaint and after investigation. A heavy penalty should be enacted from any corporation which fails to respect an order of the commission. I regard this power to establish a maximum rate as being essential to the success of the matter of railway regulation. The first necessity is to secure it; and unless it is granted to the commission there is little use in touching the subject at all. "All private car lines, industrial roads, refrigerator charges and the like should be expressly put under the supervision of the interstate commerce commission or the state government and agreements practically affecting rates are cerned. The private car owners and the owners of industrial railroads are entitled to a fair and reasonable compensation on their investment, but neither private cars nor industrial railroads nor spur tracks should be utilized as devices for securing charges, or in mileage, or in a division of the rate for refrigerating charges is just as pericles as a subroutine in any other way. No lower rate should apply on goods imported than actually obtains on domestic goods from the American seaboard to destination except in cases where water competition is the controlling influence. There should be publicity of the accounts of common carriers; no common carrier engaged in interstate business; no kelly horse or other than those reported pursuant to law or regulation, and these books or memoranda should be open to the inspection of the government. Only in this way can violations or evasions of the law be surely detected. A system of examination of railroad accounts should be provided similar to the documents instructed into the national by the bank for interstate class-railroad accountants, if they had proper direction and proper authority to inspect books and papers, could accomplish much in preventing willful violations of the law. It would not be necessary for them to examine into the accounts of any railroad unless for good reasons they were directed to do so by the interstate commerce commission. The bank for interstate class-railroad way might be found by which an agreement as to transportation within a state intended to operate as a fraud upon the federal interstate commerce laws could be brought under the jurisdiction of the federal authorities. At present it occurs that large shipments of interstate traffic are controlled by concessions on purely state business, which of course amounts to an annual revenue of $100 million, have power to enforce fair treatment by the great trunk lines of lateral and branch lines. "I urge upon the congress the need of providing for expeditious action by the interstate commerce commission in all these matters, whether in regulating rates for housing or in limiting property or commodities in transit. The history of the cases litigated under the present commerce act shows that its efficacy has been to a great degree destroyed by the weapon of delay, almost the most formidable of the weapons whose purpose it is to violate the law." Labor Questions. The national government, the president says, has as a rule but little occasion to deal with the group of problems known as the labor question. State and municipal authorities must deal with these in most cases. The recommendation is again made as in the message of last year, that the department of commerce and labor investigate the general labor condition and that the department of child labor and child labor legislation in the several states. An investigation of the condition of the women engaged in industry in the United States and state and municipal legislation looking to their protection is recommended. Continuing, he says: "The introduction of women into industry is working change and disturbance in the domestic and social life of the nation. The decrease in marriage, and the birth rate, has been coincident with the need for factored facts, and the adjustment to factory conditions must be made; but surely it can be made with less friction and less harmful effects on family life than is now the case. This whole matter in reality forms one of the greatest sociological phenomena of our time; it is a social question of the first importance, of far greater importance than any merely political or ecological need ample data, gathered in a sense and scientific spirit in the course of an exhaustive investigation." The question of securing a healthy and self-respecting and mutually sympathetic attitude as between employer and laborer is discussed at length. In discussing the problem, he says, we must adopt the principle of treating a man on his worth as a man rather than with reference to his social status, and we must to which he belongs. The demand for depriving courts of the power to issue injunctions in labor disputes is also touched upon. The Insurance Scandal. In the section devoted to the recent life insurance scandal the president declares there is need of a far stricter and more uniform regulation of the vast insurance interests of the country; much can be done by legislation which is not only drastic but practical. The United States should in this respect follow the policy of other nations by providing adequate national supervision of commercial interests which are clearly national in character. He scores certain officials of the life insurance company as experts in the events have emphasized the importance of an early and exhaustive consideration of this question, to see whether it is not possible to furnish better safeguards than the several states have been able to furnish against corruption of the flagrant kind which has been exposed. It has been only too clearly shown that certain of the men at the head of these large corporations take advantage of the distinction between honesty and dishonesty; the drew the line only this side of what may be called law-honesty, the kind of honesty necessary in order to avoid falling into the clutches of the law. Of course the only complete remedy for this condition must be found in an aroused public conscience, a higher sense of ethical conduct in the community at large, and especially among business men and in the great profession of the law, which demens all dishonesty, whether in rich man or in poor man, whether it takes the shape of bribery or of blackmail. Hague Peace Conference. The second peace conference to be held at The Hague at an early date is discussed at considerable length, and this government will do everything in its power to secure the success of the conference to the end that substantial progress may be made in the cause of international peace, justice and good will. He favors a general arithmetic and national if this possible. The Monaco does it, says, has been an effective instrument for peace and it is being gradually accepted by other nations. The arrangements made with Santo Domingo by which the United States has taken charge of her customs revenues from which all just and reasonable debts will be paid has proved a boon to that country and enabled her to maintain her independence. Peace is also being restored there. The appeal made to our government for help has been answered and a treaty is now pending in the Senate with the republic. The Army and Navy. In connection with our foreign policy the president discusses the condition of our army and navy. Considering the small number of our soldiers, he says, they should be trained as nearly perfect as possible. Continuing, he says: "Provision should be made by sufficient appropriations for maneuvers of a practical kind so that the troops may learn how to take care of them, and that they can be trained every march, for instance, being made with the soldier trained exactly as he would be in an active campaign. The number of posts in which the army is kept in time of peace should be materially diminished and the posts that are left made correspondingly larger." Promotion by mere seniority can never result in a thoroughly efficient corps of officers in the higher ranks. The officers must undergo a rigorous weeding-out process. Such a weeding-out process—that is, such a process of selection—is a chit feature of the four years' course of the young officer at West Point. There is no good reason why it should stop immediately upon his graduation. After a certain age has been reached the average officer is unit to do good work below a certain grade. Provision should be made for the promotion of exceptionally meritorious men over the age of 60. The average number of all men who have reached a given age without getting beyond a given rank; this are of retirement of course changing. from rank to rank. In both the army and the navy there should be some principle of selection, that is of promotion for merit, and there should be a resolute effort to eliminate the aged officers of reputable character who possess no special efficiency. There should be an increase in the coast artillery force, so that our coast fortifications can be in some degree adequately manned." The president believes that our navy has at present reached a strength sufficient for our present needs, and says: "Our navy must, relatively to the navies of other nations, always be of greater size than our army. We have most wisely continued for our navy the development of and it has now reached a fairly high standard of efficiency. This standard of efficiency must not only be maintained, but increased. It does not seem to me necessary, however, that the navy should—at least in the immediate future—be increased beyond the present number of units. What is now clearly necessary is to substitute efficient for inefficient units as the latter become worn-out or as a result of wear. What we need now is additional seamen; a large store of reserve guns, and sufficient money for ample target practice and all forms of sea practice. Immigration Question. The question of immigration, says the president, is one of vital interest to the country, and legislation governing the influx of aliens is badly needed. On this subject he says: "The prime need is to keep out all immigrants who will not make good American citizens. The laws now existing for the exclusion of undesirable immigrants should be strengthened. Accidents can be avoided by sufficient penalties, to compel steamship companies engaged in the passenger business to observe in good faith the law which forbids them to encourage or solicit immigration to the United States. Moreover, there should be a sharp limitation imposed upon all vessels coming to our ports as to the number of immigrants in our ports. This ratio should be high enough to insure the coming hither of as good a class of aliens as possible. Provision should be made for the surer punishment of those who induce aliens to come to this country under promise or assurance of employment. It should be made possible to inflict a sufficiently heavy tax on employers who employ aliens to law to deter him from taking the risk. It seems to me wise that there should be an international conference held to deal with this question of immigration, which has more than a merely national significance; such a conference could among other things enter at length into the methods for securing a thorough inspection of would-be immigrants at the ports from which they may be transported to embark." In regard to the Chinese exclusion laws the president says: "Chinese students, business and professional men of all kinds—not only merchants, but bankers, doctors, manufacturers, professors, travelers and the like—should be encouraged to come here and treated on precisely same footing that we treat students in our universities of other nations." Only the Chinese of the coolie class, and Chinese skilled and unskilled laborers should be excluded, he believes. The Panama Canal The sanitary work on the isthmus of Panama preparatory to beginning the actual work of excavation has almost been completed with satisfactory results. Congress is asked to aid the furthering the work of building the canal so that it may be completed in the speediest possible manner. "Active work in canal construction, mainly preparatory, has been in progress for less than a year and a half. During that period two points about the canal have ceased to be open to debate. First, the question of route; the canal will be built in a way that will allow the question of feasibility; there are no physical obstacles on this route that American engineering skill will not be able to overcome without serious difficulty, or that will prevent the completion of the canal within a reasonable time and at a reasonable cost. This is virtually the unanimous testimony of the engineers who have diligently digged the matter for the government. Minor Matters. Conditions in the Philippine islands are generally satisfactory. Tranquility has existed during the past year with the exception of a few minor disturbances. A paragraph is devoted to the furtherance of an American merchant marine and the attention of congress is called to the report of the merchant marine commission. The pension bureau is congratulated for its excellent work during the past year. Recognized that action be taken by congress looking to government care of graves of confederates. Regarding the current v, the president says that inflation must be avoided, but that some provision should be made that will insure a larger volume of money during the fall and winter months than in the less active seasons of the year. Enactment of a law directed against bribery and corruption in federal elections is again urged. Legislation favored to cover cases of bribery of trust in the public service. Legislation conferring American citizenship on all citizens of Porto Rico is advocated. Recommended that Indian Territory and Oklahoma and that New Mexico and Arizona be admitted into the union as two states. Complete revision of the copyright to meet modern conditions declared necessary. The work of the civil service commission is commended and the careful consideration of the recommendations made by the commission is urged upon congress. Government work in connection with the construction and maintenance of levees along the Mississippi should be continued. Pension favored for members of the lifesaving service. In the judgment of the president immediate assistance should be taken for the fortification of the Hawaiian islands. Elective delegate to congress is recommended for Alaska. Naturalization laws are in need of revision. Favorable action hoped for on report of commission appointed by president to revise them. Abolishment of fee system of our consular service favored. Other recommendations for betterment of service also made. Several changes in the public land laws are recommended. Recent developments have given new urgency to the need for such changes will fit these laws to actual present conditions. A law regulating interstate commerce in misbranded and adulterated foods, drinks and drugs is urged. Heard It Before.

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 Tennessee, 4 each. 8 California, Ohio, New Jersey and iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Indian Territory have one each ..... 7 Teritory 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 C Regular price $5 To Introduce we will Sell You a Sample Pair for Only NO MORE TROUBLE 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 dispuse 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 brilliant 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.

(7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. Going to Put Wheeler Out of Business. Last week we were in our invisible robe. We heard two newspaper men discussing the measure of them going together and putting Wheeler out of business, and another man who was present said: "You all may talk about it, but when he goes out of the newspaper business it will be when W. C. Gordon or Anderson Russell carries his lifeless body to the cemetery, and you had better be sure he is dead." Young married women ought not to make it a business of going around talking to married men about what their wives have done before they were married. Men who court women and marry, should at least accept the woman as she is and not listen to anything told them by men or women about their wives whom they have married. For if most men's past lives were unraveled no decent woman or even the devil would have them. The Palladium man knows whereof he speaks. St. Paul Chapel News. Last Sunday was a pleasant and profitable day at St. Paul's A. M. E. church. The sermon at the morning hour was delivered by Rev C. A. Johnson, of Hamilton, Can. At the evening hour a most excellent sermon was delivered by the other local preacher, Brother E. S. M. Dinsmore. The trustees' collection was $69. An after collection to the amount of $20 was lifted in aid of the hospital. The ladies of the stewardesses board presented the trustees with the sum of $169 as the result of the Thanksgiving dinner. This Sunday is quarterly meeting day, and an unusually good time is anticipated. There will be three services during the day, 11 a. m., 3 p. m., and 8 p. m. At three o'clock there will be a union service when all the Methodist ministers will be present and participate. The sermon will be preached by Rev. Mr. Duke, formerly of Jefferson City, but now of Quinn chapel, St. Louis. IF YOU WANT CASH and are ambitious to make money easy, then talk with us by letter or postal card for full particulars.

Mayor Dunne says pedestrians are entitled to the right of way in Chicago. All that now remains for them to do is to get it. The policy-holder who was wise enough to die last year certainly has the laugh on those who are having to view these insurance exposures. There is no question that life insurance is a good thing; the difficulty lies in making it as good a thing for the policy-holder as for the director. Why does the post office department go all the way to California to break up a guessing contest when the weather bureau is doing business right under its nose in Washington? It is stated that Ambassador Reid has hired an earl's son as a butler. Mr. Reid is too thoroughly American to hold a man's past against him, if he is trying to do the right thing and live it down. In Philadelphia recently there were ninety-four applicants for the two municipal clerkships which paid small salaries. Perhaps the applicants believed all they had seen in print concerning graft. Cunliffe, the express robber, says it is difficult for a man to be honest on a salary of $65 a month. The life insurance investigations indicate that it is difficult for some men to be honest on a salary of $65 an hour. Confronted with a national debt of $1,250,000,000 and an annual interest charge of $75,000,000, the mkado must be strongly tempted to start a life insurance company and get himself elected president of it. We trust that officers of orders and societies will remember one thing, and that is if a member dies in any family the relatives have the right of saying who the undertaker shall be. No order or society should ignore that right. It looks to us as though the life insurance agent were the innocent bystander in this investigation. Soliciting business at this time must be about as pleasant a job as carrying an elephant up sixteen flights of stairs. Mr. Rockefeller has advised young men to turn their thoughts to higher things than money, which is not all there is in the world. If the young men will look after the higher things, Mr. Rockefeller will look after the money. We noticed last week that in connection with the Gordon case that Prof. John B. Vashon's name was mixed up with that of Mr. George B. Vashon. We knew at once it was a mistake, for our John is a society man, and not a politician, like that awful George B. Vashon.

Alphin was one of St. Louis' pioneer Christian men. He was born in Stafford county, Va., February 7, 1821 and died November 27, 1905, age 84 years, 9 months and 20 days. He was converted in 1842 and was ordained to preach April 23, 1895. After his ordination he gave the ground and built the Morning Star Baptist church, which he pastored until 1903. His request was to be buried from First Baptist church. He leaves to mourn his departure a sister, a foster daughter and a host of friends. The funeral was attended by Rev. E. C. Cole, Rev. Bowen, and Rev. G. W. West. There was also quite a number of the ministers of the city present. The officers and members of the Pleasant Workers' club bow their heads in humble submission and breathe, "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow," for the grand success of their Thanksgiving dinner and entertainment. The club thanks their friends and the public for their patronage. The entertainment given by the St. Louis Home and Foreign Society last Thursday was quite a treat. Mrs. Katie Boswell is doing a good work with this club. She is the president and is much loved by all who know her. The Pleasant Workers' club served refreshments. Mrs. Pauline Jones, of Bunker Hill, Ill., was in the city this week visiting friends. She was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Cole, Monday night and left for her home Tuesday afternoon. Baptizing, covenant and communion was largely attended last Sunday. Lincoln Institute Notes. Dr. Allen, and Professors Wheeler and Brown of the faculty accompanied the team to St. Louis. The banquet recently tendered the teachers by the Zion A. M. E. church of Jefferson City, was a fine affair and well attended. The foot ball game played in St Louis on Thanksgiving day between the Lincoln Institute Tigers and the Chicago Maroons resulted in a score of 11—6 in favor of the Tigers. Dr. Allen delivered an address on Saturday, before the Montgomery County Institute, on "The Best Gifts," that was highly appreciated by the large audience of white and Colored citizens present on that occasion. The work of Misses Genoa, Anderson, Mildred Williams, Messrs. Abingdon and Ross before the institute was in every sense highly commendable, and as graduates of Lincoln Institute, they are demonstrating in a most satisfactory manner the kind of material with which the institution is supplying this state and other sections. A delightful and elaborate menu celebrating the victory, Thanksgiving, and the dedication of the the $25,000 dormitory for girls, which we appropriately named "Allen Hall," was served in the new dining room on Friday, November 13th. Among the out of town guests present were: Mrs. Hood, of Boonville, whose daughter, Miss Ruth, is a member of the Freshman class, Messrs. Wilburn and Tillman, Misses Williams and Schweicks. All of these young people members of the class of 1905, are engaged in teaching, have excellent positions and express themselves as much pleased with their work. --- .JOTTINGS.

As a matter of fact it is very unusual to find any person whose use of the English language is abso- lutely correct, The following are ex- amples of some very frequent errors or faulty expressions ever heard: “Let you and I go"—should be “you and me.” “T am as good as her”—should be “as she,” “You are younger than me”—should be “than I.” “Come to dinner with John and I.”— ‘should be “John and me.” “Between you and I'—should be “you and me.” “Where are you going? Who? Me"— should be “Who? I?” “Who do you see?”—sitould be “whom.” “If I was her’—should be “If I were she.” “Was it him?’—should be “Was it he?” “Who was it by?’—should be “whom.” ‘These examples of “Faulty Diction” are #0 common that many people look upon the improper form as being the correct one, and Thomas H. Russell, L.LB., editor-in-chief of Webster's Im- perial Dictionary, has done the public @ great service in having written the new book, entitled “Faulty Diction, or Erros in the Use of the English Lan- guage and How to Correct Them,” which the publishers have, by printing it on thin Bible paper, succeeded in getting into what may be called vest- pocket size. Illustrating the comprehensive treat- ment that has been given the subject by the author, there are 1,017 headings treated in the book, under some of which “plurals” for instance—over fifty errors that are not at all unusual are to be found illustrated and correct- ed. It is rarely one's good fortune to become possessed of so valuable a book, and especially one so compact and of as much general interest. It is hand- somely bound in’ embossed Russia leather, and will be sent postpaid on receipt of 50 cents to any address by Geo. W. Ogilvie & Co., Publishers, 169 East Randolph street, Chicago, . Ill. They also publish the same book in cloth binding, and will send a copy of it in that style on receipt of 25 cents. ‘The New Owls Gave Their Ball Last Monday. Last Monday night at Masonic Tem- ple, the Owls were out in full. The hall was crowded to its utmost capaci- ty. We noticed several persons worthy of mention. Miss Rena Hopkins did honor to the oecasion. > We noticed several of the Smart Set were there, no dowbt taking items. _ Evans, the detective, was there, but did not do any business. The crowd was orderly. The two record breakers were there. Harry Denny and Sonny Mack. Of course, they were advertising their ball, which will be December 45. Wait for it. ‘Mr. Arthur Strange was there. He worked hard to advertise the ball. Mr. William R. Earl, better known as Erastus, and Fritz Emory, were present. These gentlemen entertained the guests, led the grand march and executed the cake walk which was grand. Taking the Ow! ball as it was it was n grand affair and a 4nancia! aa ‘The Palladium man was there in his invisible robe, ‘Twenty-five legal fledglings have just been admitted to the bar at Mt.

An establishment most worthy of praise and one that is a credit to the proprietor, is the undertaking estab- lishment of W. ©. Gordon, now locat- ed at 2651 Morgan street, but formerly of 2218 Morgan street. Although we have had cause to praise Mr. Gordon in the past, we have still a greater one now, as we pass from room to room, and look with astonishment at the wonderful sights which meet our gaz2. He has been located at his present place of business five weeks last Wednesday, and during this short time about three thousand people have vis- ited the building and feasted for a time upon the grandeur of the place. Again your visit is made enjoyable by the friendliness and courtesy shown you by your escort on your tour through this palace. 2 The entire building is composed of 23 rooms, namely: Trimming room, morgue, receiving room, chapel, dis- play parlors, carriage room, both a private and public office, and various other rooms. On entering the building you are first shown the private office of Mr. Gordon, which has every possible convenience that an office could require. In the rear of the offices is the stable and carriage room. Ordinarily to hear the words stable and carriage room, they would have little or no meaning to us, but after visiting the said rooms of this establishment it is evident even to the casual observer that they carry with them their meaning, to the lover of beautiful conveyances and fine horses. ‘The morgue,too, has its points of inter- est, one of which fs the operating ta- ble, one of the most interesting of its kind. It can be lowered or raised to suit the convenience of the party working. The next room in routine {3 the trimming room. The name itself is suggestive to its us. This room leads into the receiving room, where the corpse is taken preparatory to going ‘into the chapel. __ The chape? is a large room, which is ‘noted for its seating capacity, and the ‘beauty of its walls. It seats about 200 persons comfortably. The walls are of a beautiful green color with a pink: border, which adds to its beauty. ‘The dispiay parlors are perhaps the most interesting, for here we see the different styles of caskets, for young and old, ranging in prices from $190 to $500, ‘These rooms of which I have spokea with the exception of the offices aml carriage room are found in the re- modeled part of the building. This does not, however, include all the rooms, for let us reraemher that the living must be provided for as well as the dead. |The second floor of the new portion ‘of the building is furnished and fitted ‘up with all conveniences. Here we find | the parlor, dining room, kiichen, sleep- ing apartments and bath, all of which, I could write of for hours, but should I give vent to this feeling, it woull not be so interesting when you make your tour, and see for yourself as oth- ers have done, The Palladium assures you that you will be treated royally, and it will be a visit that you will never regret. This is only a very brief description of ite building. To Our Patrons. We will be compelled to call upon you for the next two weeks for what you owe us. Why should we owe any- one when our liabilities are not over $90, and our advertisers and subscrib- ers owe us over $400?

Then, after a por | tion had been read, the Levites: gath- ered little companies and “caused them to understand the reading.” V. 9. “Tirshatha:” A Persian title meaning governor, “This day is holy:” It was a feast day (Lev. 23:24) and hence more aprpcpriate for expressions of joy than those of grief. “Wept .. . words of the law:” Doubt: Jess some passage portraying God’s in dignation against sin, and the bitter fruits of unrighteousness, had just been read. V. 10. “Eat the fat,” ete: A pro- verbial expression, meaning, Let the day be one of rejoicing and feasting. “Send portions:” Make the poor par- takers of your joy. “Joy . . - strength:” ‘True joy is a great source of strength. “Joy of the Lord” means not only the joy of sins forgiven, and reconciliation with God, but also Christ's own joy (John 15:12). V. 11. “Stilled the people:” The Levites passed among them comfort- tng and cheering them. “Neither be ye grieved:” While it is proper for us to lament sin, when we have eon- | fessed and forsaken it we are to allow it to be cast behind our backs, as Goi does (Isa, 38:17), and go forward to renewed effort, not. wasting energy i= vain regrets. | Y. 12. “Went thelr way:” The a semiély now broke up for the day. “Mirth:” Great rejoicing. “Because they had upterstood:” The same book sf the law had tarned their sor- row to joy. Tle book that shows our sin, tells: also of the Jove and mercy of God. V. 13. “Chief of the fathers:” The secular Raters. “To wnéerstand,” or “to give attention t:” ‘There seems to have been a voluntary gathering of the people, ttris second day, and a re quest that Ezra would read more to them from the law of God. V. 14. “They found woitten:” Prob- ‘ably Levitions 23:3643 was read to them. “Dwelt in boaths:” ‘The Feast of Tabernacles was celeorated by the people dwelling im tabermacles, or booths, made-of bransites of trees. It was the great national thanksgiving week.

Y. 16. “Upon the roof,” ete: The flat roofs of the houses afforded com venient places for the erection of these booths. Others set them up in the courts of their houses; still others, laymen as well as priests and Levites, set them up in the courts of the tem- ple or open spaces in the city. “Street of the water-gate:” The broad, open space between the temple and the city walls, in which the people gathered for the reading of the law on the first day, {s meant (See y. 1). V. 17. “Come out of captivity:” It fs quite probable that the returned ex- fles took the lead in this movement, ‘and especially enjoyed this festival oc- casion. “Since the days of Joshua.. not done so:” ‘The meaning seeres te be that, since the time of Israel's first entrance into Canaan under Joshua this feast had not been observed witt 20 great rejoicing.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. CONCERNING CHURCHMEN. Dr. Glennon, of St. Louis, now traveling in England, is the youngest archbishop in the world, being only 42 years old. Dr. William M. Zaring, an Indianapolis clergyman, has completed 52 years of active service, in which period he has been out of his pulpit on account of illness but six times. Rev. H. Olin Cady, now of Evanston, Ill., who has been connected with Methodist missions in West China for the last 19 years, has been retired with a pension by the board of managers of the missionary society. Rev. G. G. Richards, vicar of St. Peter and Paul's, Teddington, England, has issued a general invitation to the men of his parish to call at the vicarage on Monday evenings throughout the winter for a "friendly pipe and a chat." Last winter Rev. Dr. Halsey, of the Presbyterian foreign mission board, visited the missions in West Africa. Since his return he is denouncing Leopold of Belgium and the Congo Free State as "the most iniquitous monarch that ever sat on a throne." Prof. Orr, of the United Free Church college, Glasgow, has obtained the Bross prize of $6,000 for the best theological book entered in competition. The prize is awarded by the trustees of Lake Forest university Dr. Orr's book deals with the Old Testament problem.

"Coffee heart" is common to many coffee users and is liable to send the owner to his or her long home if the drug is persisted in. You can run 30 or 40 yards and find out if your heart is troubled. A lady who was once victim of the "coffee heart" writes from Oregon: "I have been a habitual user of coffee all my life, and have suffered very much in recent years from ailments which I became satisfied were directly due to the poison in the beverage, such as torpid liver and indigestion, which in turn made my complexion blotchy and muddy. "Then my heart became affected. It would beat most rapidly just after I drank my coffee, and go below normal as the coffee effect wore off. Sometimes my pulse would go as high as 137 beats to the minute. My family were greatly alarmed at my condition and at last mother persuaded me to begin the use of Postum Food Coffee. "I gave up the old coffee entirely and absolutely, and made Postum my sole table beverage. This was 6 months ago, and all my illies, the indigestion, inactive liver and rickety heart action, have passed away, and my complexion has become clear and natural. The improvement set in very soon after I made the change, just as soon as the coffee poison had time to work out of my system. "My husband has also been greatly benefited by the use of Postum, and we find that a simple breakfast with Postum is as satisfying and more sterr geringening than the old heavier meal we used to have with the other kind of coffee." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason. Read the little book, 'The Road to Weehill,' in pks The Best Missouri News Gov. Folk Defines "Grafter." Gov. Folk has been asked by Funk & Wagnalls, of New York, for a definition of the word "graft," to be used in the new edition of the Standard Dictionary. Gov. Folk gives the following definition: "Grafter," one who preys on the people, either against the law or under the law. The boodler sells his official vote or buys official acts contrary to law. He is a grafter, but a grafter is not necessarily a boodler. Grafting may or may not be unlawful. It is either a special privilege exercised contrary to law or one the law itself may give." Rules for New Prison Guards. Warden Hall of the penitentiary has given out the following requirements which will be demanded of new guards who are to be employed at that institution: They must be 25 years old and not more than 60; must be at least five feet nine inches in height and weigh not less than 170 pounds. They must undergo a medical examination by the prison physician and must be pronounced sound by him in a written statement. They will also be examined in reading, writing and arithmetic. This is one of the recent orders made by the prison board for the management of the penitentiary. Buttons Saved Banker's Life. W. F. Duvall, cashier and principal stockholder in the Farmers' bank of Butler, was shot by George Newberry, former cashier of the institution and son of former State Senator John B. Newberry. Buttons on the vest and coat of Mr. Duvall kept the bullet from penetrating his body. No ill feeling was known to exist between and two. Both are well known in the banking circles. Duvall succeeded Newberry as cashier of the bank several months ago. Died of Starvation. Gottlieb Stonerer, an old German, probably 75 years old, was found dead at his home at Springfield and had been dead for probably four days before being discovered. Stonerer lived alone and has no relatives so far as can be learned. Death was due to starvation, as the old man did old jobs and was idle most of the time. The coroner made an investigation of the case, but held no inquest. An Independence Company Out. The state superintendent of insurance, W. D. Vandiver, has issued an order revoking the license of the Merchants' and Laborers' Fraternal union of Independence to do business in this state. The company was doing a fraternal life insurance business and was licensed in March. The revocation is on the ground that the license was obtained by misrepresentation. To Help Catch Rockefeller. To help Catch Rockefeller. Frank Blit, assistant attorney general, has gone to Washington, and from there he probably will go to New York to assist Morton Wolman, who is representing the attorney general in the ouster suit against the oil companies, to get service on John D. Rockefeller and the ather officers of the Standard Oil company. Testimony will also be taken in Cleveland, Omaha and in Des Moines. Policy Holders Organize. The Johnson county life insurance policy holders' association was formed at a meeting of life insurance policy holders at the courthouse at Warrensburg. The object is to elect delegates to vote the proxies of members at state meetings and to advance generally the interests of policy holders. The first annual meeting is called for December 16, when officers and delegates will be elected. Is Four Months Behind. James A. McGonigle, of Leavenworth, who contracted to finish the addition of the St. Joseph post office building by January 1, 1906, is at least four months behind with the work on the structure. His contract calls for a forfeit of $50 for each day after January 1, and the addition remains uncompleted. Failure to get supplies is given as cause for delay. Died at 106 Years of Age. With the death of Mrs. Sarah Baxter, commonly called "Old Aunt Sally," the oldest woman in southwestern Missouri passes away near Mano. At the time of her death she was past 106 years of age, and, so far as known, no woman living in that section of the state lays claim to many years of life. Killed by Fall from Horse. Miss Florence Carter, of Chicago, a guest at the Benton hotel at Excelsior Springs, fell from a horse two miles west of and her head striking a stone, her skull was fractured. She died in a vacant house near by a short time afterward. Wasp Paper-Makers. Brazil has a natural paper making industry peculiarly its own. The country abounds in a curious wasp, which builds nests for itself of paper which it manufactures by the ton. The paper is made from vegetable refuse, which is so treated by the wasps that it becomes hard, like cardboard. It is so durable that it resists all effects of climate and lasts five or six years. The Voice of Experience Better a dinner of herbs and contentment than a "stalled" 'auto in a far country.—Everybody's Magazine. For Violating Eight-Hour Law. Miners in the employ of the Miami mine, at Chitwood, near Joplin, caused the arrest of W. S. Thompson, the superintendent, on a charge of compelling his miners to work more than eight hours per day. The mine owners, soon after the governor directed that the eight-hour law should be enforced, adopted a resolution to the effect that eight hours would constitute a day's work, but if the miners cared to they could work an extra hour and receive the pay they have been getting in the past. If they only worked eight hours they were to have, their wages reduced. When Attorney General Hadley was in Joplin he expressed the opinion that this was only an attempt to evade the law and that it was the intention of the law that a miner should not be allowed to work more than eight hours. Three Thanksgiving Pardong; Three Thanksgiving Pardons. Gov. Folk announced three Thanksgiving pardons. One goes to George Troutman, who went to the penitentiary from St. Louis in July, 1896, for life for murder in the second degree. The other is to Benjamin Harvey, a negro, also from St. Louis. Gov. Folk also issued a pardon to H. V. Waldron, who was serving a sentence from Kansas City. January 7 Gov. Dockery commuted the sentence from five to two years, with the benefit of the three-fourths law. This should have released Waldron in July, but an error was made in the records in the warlen's office which prevented. Another Football Victim: Robert Brown, the 16-year-old boy who was injured in a football game between the elevenes of two Sedalia grade schools, died without regaining consciousness. Young Brown received his injuries while making a run around the end. He was tackled and thrown heavily upon the ground, alighting on his neck and shoulders. His spine was injured, he was paralyzed from the neck down. The death of young Brown will put an end to football playing by grade school teams in Sedalia. To Oust Fraternal Bond. Attorney General Hadley has sent to the prosecuting attorney of Buchanan county, at St. Joseph, a petition for ouster of the Fraternal Bond company, because it has failed to stop business in the state when its license expired. The attorney general also sent an information for a criminal proceeding to instituted against W. S. Richards, an agent of the company, for receiving premiums on insurance after the company had failed to secure a license to do business in the state. Another Oil Hearing Delay. Another Oil Hearing Deny. The taking of testimony in New York in the case of the state of Missouri against the Standard Oil company which was set for December, has been postponed until January 5. This is the case in which subpoenas were issued for John D. Rockefeller and others to appear and give testimony in that city. Henry Wollman, counsel for the state of Missouri, said in announcing the postponement that the delay was made to give time to serve all the subpoenas. Boonville Corn Exhibition. The second annual exhibition of the Cooper country corn growers' association and the sixth annual meeting and exhibition of the Missouri Poultry association was held at Boonville. There were 63 entries of different varieties of corn, far exceeding expectations, as the floods a few months ago were believed to have badly damaged the corn crop of that section. There were more than 700 fowls entered in the poultry exhibition. Will Haul It in Wagons. The independent oil companies in Kansas find that it is almost impossible for them to do business in Missouri. The freight rate on oil from the Kansas refineries to Galena, Kan., on the state line, is $6\%$ cents. From the oil fields to Joplin, six miles farther, the rate is 17 cents. In order to be able to sell oil in the Joplin district, storage tanks will be built in Galena and the oil will be hauled from there in wagons. Secretary of State's Receipts. Secretary of State John E. Swanger reports having received and paid into the state treasury taxes and fees for the month of November, 1905, as follows: Notarial commissions, $730; domestic corporation tax $11,400 foreign corporation tax, $565; miscellaneous fees, $699.50; land department fees, $35.30; bank inspection fees $509.50; recording railroad contracts, $47; total, $14,975.40.

Price, 25c. and 50c. The portly woman in the cross seat of a subway car was confiding in her thin friend in a voice which was heard above the rattle of the train, relates the New York Press. "I had just picked out the table I wanted—a trim little thing to fit in a corner of my parlor—when who should come in but that korrid Mrs. Shoddy. I would not have her know, for the world, that I was paying only $3.50 for the table, so I turned to one marked before she saw me. "The table?" she asked, with that deceitful smile of hers. "Yes, I said, coolly. 'I have almost decided upon this one,' I said, pointing out the expensive affair. "You should have seen her face. Tsn't it rather expensive?" she said. "Oh, no,' I said. 'You can't ex- it to get good things for nothing. Send that table to my address,' I said to the salesman. 'I'll pay for it on delivery.' Then I walked out. I waited outside until Mrs. Shoddy went away, then ran the story countermanded the order for the toy box. I had to pay for $3.50. I was sorry afterwards that I hadn't selected a table worth about $100, just to spite that woman."

The Third Annual Ball of Pombrieos Last Thursday Was a Grand We witnessed the display of the Pombieros as the Masonic Temple, Thursday night. The managers were pleased with their guests. We noticed the conduct of many and it was above the common balls. Not a cross word was heard, but all seemed to be bent on having a pleasant time. We saw Messrs James A. Gloss, Alexander Carter and Fred Perkins out in full dress, and full of mirth, having a good time. They looked like lords. They will make an advance on all that is good. Miss Alice Ubhand,of 2237 Scott avenue, was the best dressed lady. Her movements were as graceful as any one that we ever saw. The renowned M. W. was on deck. She is all O. K. When she is asleep and that seldom is as she is at every gathering. We looked and looked and yet it was M. W. A gentleman said he would bet doughnuts to dollars that some doctor would crack somebody. Heard about M. W. Mrs. Maggie Jordan was on deck feeding the hungry, also her husband. Miss L. McKelly, of 2643 Market street, has indeed a lovely figure. We asked her how many rats she had in her hair. She said, not one; this is all my hair. She is all O. K. Mr. J. I had better stay away or his will crack his head. There were as many beautiful women as over we saw. We could not begin to mention their names, for we could not get them all. Mr. W. B. Smith, Owens Banks and many others worked hard make the same a success. The Palladium man was made welcome. We always like to go where we can meet to make the same a success. The Palladiful women. This is another time we did not see the convicts there in numbers. Oh, we get there and we will weed out the scoundrels and put them where they ought to be. The Palladium will always be on the lookout. Mrs. Martha Mitchell, of 3921 Finney avenue, is one of the best workers in the order of S. M. T. She is W. P. Eureka Temple No. 137.
