ST LOUIS PALLADIUM Lyons' Short Order Restaurant 2337 Market St. [Name not visible in the image] DOES THIS INTEREST YOU? IF SO call at Douglass Building, Lawton Ave. and Beaumont Street, any Wednesday or Saturday evening from 7:30 to 9 o'clock for full particulars. Evening Classes in Shorthand. A. A. CLARKE, Instructor. On Sunday, December 24, we had the extreme pleasure of listening to a sermon from our right worthy Bishop A. Grant, the presiding Bishop of the Fifth District of the A. M. E. Church. He also spoke at the Y. M. C. A. on the subject, "Think, Speak and Action." Every young man in St. Louis ought to have heard him. It was a reasoning talk from beginning to end. At night we attended church and again we heard the Bishop speak from a certain chapter, on several different points, viz.: "They were called Christians. Why were they called Christians and what does it require to be a Christian?" The subject was one of the most reasoning and eloquent we have ever known, and to contribute to its eloquence, it was handled in such a manner that every one could see through it, and become convinced that any man and woman should at once accept the invitation and become a Christian. Bishop Grant is undoubtedly one of the most effective reasoners and eloquent speakers on the bench of bishops. At the close of his remarks it was found that 26 persons had been convinced and become members of the church during the day. Henry Parker, whom Bishop Grant took into the church 16 years ago, is in poor health. The friends and members of the church got up a surprise and presented him with $33 in cash as a token of respect and for his faithfulness in the church work as a class leader. We sat on the last seat on the south side and at our left were three or four girls who ought to have been in the House of Refuge or jail, for they make more noise than a bushel of dogs, cats and monkeys mixed in a sack. Dr. Cook will wage war against sin and the power of darkness. He also wants 150 new members for the journer added to the church, and asks for $1,500 for January, 1906. Why do we have such a thing as sacred concerts when we hear such music with all the instruments that are displayed in the choir of St. Paul's chapel. We are pleased to note that St. Paul has the best choir in the western states. Our good Bishop was much pleased with their sweet strains of music. The stewardesses of the church made a good appearance and we hope that the true Christian love permeates their hearts. 15228 A. Grant The Bulletin issued by St. Paul's Chapel is all O. K. We hope to see God in the work of this church and all others. We noticed several ushers in St. Paul's that must soon speak or—well, you know the Palladium man. Dr. Cook is the man of the hour and no proof is necessary, as he is master of the situation. A Great Chief. Mr. Floyd Ross, chief of the St. Louis Division of the Order of True Reformers, is one of the most indelicate, and successful workers of this community. He has organized in St. Louis and vicinity seven subordinate fountains and one Rosebud fountain with a membership of 629 persons, 14 of whom are in the insurance department of the order. He has induced the Grand Fountain, at Richmond, to allow sick benefits to the members of the past officers' council. All of this has been accomplished in less than four months. In the month of January, he will set up several large fountains, including one at Milwaukee, Wis., on the 6th of the month. At this rate, the St. Louis division will lead all of the divisions of the country in the good work reported to the Grand Fountain at its annual session, at Richmond, in September, 1906. The T. C. S. C. The entertainment at Masonic Temple, Xmas night, was, and has been the talk of the city. Where the people came from, I can't say. At 11 o'clock, Harry Denny was all wreathed in smiles and Sonny Mack was hauling in the money. Of course, there are different orders and societies that give entertainments, but Harry Denny, single-handed and alone got Aunt Hagar's children there, yet while we do not at any time partake of their pleasures, we looked on and said, "Behold, what manner of men are Harry Denny and Sonny Mack. Some two weeks ago we were at the hall when another order had an entertainment and Harry Denny was perspiring and mopping his face. We said to him, "Harry they have got you this time," he said, "Ah no, just wait until Xmas night." So it was a Xmas night, and snowed under all that ever gave an entertainment in the hall. So they still hold the laurels and none can ever come near their mark. J. W. W. THIS IST YOU? ing, Lawton Ave. and Beaumont day evening from 7:30 to 9 o'clock classes in Shorthand. CITY NEWS.

Last Monday night the club was out in full force, and well was it named, as they looked like they had fished out of Aunt Hagar's pond until they got them all, the big, little, the old, young, yellow, brown, black and white were all there, and not a cross word was spoken. Messrs. Alien Wells, Richard Alexander and Zipp, the treasurer, did all in their power to make the entertainment a success. From all parts of St. Louis and from adjoining towns, they were all there. The crowd was so large that we went to see where Harry Denny was and what caused this vast concourse of people. Well, who had the floor, and who conducted the affair? Harry said: "Why, my dear sir, this is the Fisherman's Club, and you see we have fished and dragged the pond until you see we are all here and the T. C. S. C. is doing duty and trying to make this a grand success." I told him frankly that I believed that the T. C. S. C. had a big hand in this affair. Harry then said: "Look out for the Madi Gras; that will excel all." We thanked him for his information and had him O. K. a bill that I had, which he did, and I said: "You see, we treat you right and you have always treated us right." A SPLENDID PLACE TO GET THE INNER MAN RENEWED—1319 MARKET STREET.

The state beer inspection tax yielded $22,290.28 less than 1905 than during 1904, according to the figures of the state treasurer's office. The state tax on beer is half a cent per gallon, and it thus appears that more than 4,000,000 gallons less beer was consumed in Missouri during 1905 than in 1904. The beer tax in 1904 yielded the state a revenue of $397,31.65, while during the year 1905 but $375,072.27 was collected, showing the loss of $22,290.28 in revenue. The 4,000,000 gallons shortage would have retailed at 80 cents a gallon, aggregating a total of $3,200,000, which amount has been saved to the people during the year 1905. The decrease in the cosumption of beer is said to be a direct result of Sunday closing. A New M. S. U. Debate Plan. A New M. S. U. Debate Plan. Dr. J. C. Jones, acting president of the University of Missouri, has announced the establishment of a state inter-high school contest in debating and essay. The first annual contest between the approved high schools of Missouri will be in Columbia the last Saturday in April 1906. This contest will be on the same day as the inter-high school athletic meet at Columbia. The winners of the contest, one boy and one girl, will be awarded scholarships in the university to the value of $125 each, with exemption from all fees except laboratory fees. Chancellor Denounced Football. Chancellor Chaplin, of the Washington university, St. Louis, talked on football to the State Teachers' association. He dilated upon the evil results of the game, which he declared was attended with disasters tending to make it unpopular, even were it a game in more general vogue. He advocated the substitution of the Association game, or the Rugby game, declaring that under the rules of the latter the objectionable features could scarcely be eliminated or abolished. Vandiver Accomplishes Something. Superintendent W. D. Vandiver, of the state insurance department, has given out a statement concerning insurance matters in which he declared that he will hold insurance companies to their promises to stop the practice of rebating, and that it is gratifying to him to know that the Missouri companies have decided to stop the practice of writing special contracts. "Honest business is to be the motto in Missouri this year," he says. Money Orders Had Been Raised. A stranger giving the name of John W. Wilson, who is supposed to be an ex-convict recently released from the Nebraska penitentiary at Lincoln, is charged with passing four money orders purchased at Lincoln that had been raised from $6 to $60. In each instance small purchases were made at St. Joseph stores and the raised money orders tendered in payment, the purchaser receiving the difference in cash. Mined 5.000.000 Tons of Coal. State Coal Mine Inspector R. S. Thomas gave out the following information relative to coal mining in Missouri during 1905: The coal mined would reach 5,000,000 tons, an increase of five per cent. over 1904. Thirty-five more mines produced coal than in 1904. Fatal accidents show the same increase as tons of coal produced. Burlington Plans Improvement. J. M. Gruber, general manager of the Burlington lines east of the Missouri river, is authority for the statement that the Burlington will undertake the reconstruction of the Hannibal bridge at Kansas City, the building of extensive freight terminals in Clay county, and a new freight house in the west bottoms. Girl Dies from Tetanus. Miss Alice Meriwether, daughter of William Meriwether, a prominent farmer near Whiteside, died of lockjaw. The young lady while in the yard stepped on a nail which penetrated deep into her foot, causing serious injury, from which resulted tetanus. Was a Meat Packer in 1857. Benjamin Ullmar, aged 81 years, a prominent and wealthy resident of St. Joseph, who was born in Philadelphia and engaged in the meat packing business in St. Joseph in 1857, is dead as the result of a fall on the pavement sustained several weeks ago. Found 17 Guilty of Murder. In the year just closed 18 men have been tried in the criminal court at Kansas City upon the charge of murder and 17 of them were convicted. Five were convicted of murder in the first degree. Fell into an Old Mine. Mrs. Nancy McClure, aged 65 years, fell 60 feet into an abandoned mine at Neck City, northeast of Joplin, and was instantly killed. Mrs. McClure lived at Galena. Burglar's Set at Liberty. Arthur Lindsay and Lee J. King, sent from Scott county in 1904 to serve three years each, have been pardoned. They were convicted of burglary and larceny, having forced their way into an express office. Want Executions at Penitentiary. A resolution offered at the convention of the State Sheriffs' association of Missouri that the legislature be requested to pass a law requiring executions to take place at Jefferson City was adopted unanimously. Gift Enterprise a Lottery. Officers of the Joplin Commercial club are in trouble with the federal authorities because of a lottery plan adopted in disposing of the lots in a new addition to the city of Joplin, and the first assistant postmaster general has called upon Clay Gregory, chairman of the committee, for an explanation. A couple of months ago a 40-acre tract was purchased and platted into lots which sold at $200 each, the selection to be made after all lots had been sold. A few days ago notices telling of the date of the drawing were placed in the mail, and were confiscated by Eli Martin, postoffice inspector. These notices were posted by D. K. Wenrich, former postmaster at Joplin, and bore the name of Clay Gregory, a prominent mino operator. Jerome B. Grigg, president of the Commercial club, has been officially notified that the club scheme is a lottery, and the officers are warned against using the mails for boosting it. All newspapers of the city also have been notified of the ruling of the department. New Green Goods Scheme New Green Goods Scheme. An old "green goods" game, in an alleged new guise, has been unearthed in the arrest of C. J. Myles at Neosho on a charge of using the mails in a scheme to defraud. According to the inspectors, Myles sent out a circular letter telling how "any person could make $10 a day without taking any risk if he had the right kind of goods." The "goods" were referred to as "United States cards" in one place. The persons who are said to have sent Myles $25 a pledge received in return two packs of playing cards with a letter telling them the cards were the "green goods" referred to and also added that by getting into a poker game the recipients could make plenty of money. The cards were marked and accompanied by a key which explained how to identify them by the backs. St. Louis Club Officers Fined. Officers of several of the organizations popularly termed as "lid lifting clubs," which were raided recently under instructions of Gov. Folk, were arraigned in police court on charges of violation of the liquor law. Fines were imposed in sums ranging from $50 to $100. Many of the cases were appealed to the court of criminal correction. Police Judge Tracy criticised the organizations, declaring that in nearly every instance they are merely subterfuges for the evasion of the Sunday closing or excise law. Dice Were Not Loaded. Not long ago the St. Louis inspectors received a complaint from a man in Cape Girardeau against a man in Chicago who advertises gambling devices. The Cape Girardeau man claimed he had sent $5 to Chicago for a pair of loaded dice and received a pair of ordinary dice, not loaded, and worth 10 cents. The complaint was passed up. Coal Gas Kills Woman. Mrs. Etta Lorenz, wife of John Lorenz, was burned to death at St. Joseph by an explosion of coal gas in a heating stove. Lorenz was painfully cut by breaking a window in an effort to clear the room of gas and the dead woman's sister, Mrs. Henry Lorenz, was burned about the head and hands in an effort at rescue. State Assessors to Meet at Mexico. The annual meeting of the county assessors' association of Missouri will be held Wednesday and Thursday, February 7 and 8, in Mexico. Gov. Folk is expected to deliver an address. The state board of equalization has been asked to meet with the assessors and each member has accepted the invitation. Pebble Penetrated Skull. Mitchell Shadrick, a farmer living west of Columbia, was killed by Henry Jones, 18 years old. Shadrick was killed with a small stone which Jones threw while his uncle chased him with a stick of wood. The stone struck Shadrick behind the right ear, making a small wound like a bullet hole. Telephone Girls Won Strike The central girls in the Butler telephone exchange struck for higher wages, and for a few hours the system was tied up. Manager Reinheimer tried to secure other help, but failed. Later he acceded to the demands of the operators and they returned to work. A "Katy" Ex-Official Dend in Sedalia Joseph W. Haines, ex-master mechanic for the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad at Sedalia, and a resident of Sedalia since 1875, died at his home there. He was born in New Hampshire December 10, 1825, and from youth was in the railroad business. Dynamited Building at Archie. An attempt was made to blow up the two-story building owned by F. N. Jesse at Archie. Dynamite was placed against the north side of the building and fired with 50 feet of fuse. A hole two feet square was blown in the wall, but little damage was done inside. St. Joseph Pioneer Dead. Capt. Augustus Saltzman, a pioneer of St. Joseph, died from paralysis at Hot Springs, Ark., where he had gone in search of health, aged 63.

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 Carolina, 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 Colorado, each ..... 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 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 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.

Jumping Salmon.—A Cut Out CUT OUT X OBEYING ORDERS. How a Simple Peasant Followed Literally the Instructions of a Lion Tamer. When Pezon, the lion tamer, was at Moscow with his menagerie, he had occasion to employ a peasant, a fine specimen of a Cossack, to clean out the cages of the wild beasts. The Cossack did not understand a word of French, and the terms of the contract were settled in dumb show. By way of instructing him in his new duties, Pezon went through a sort of pantomime with the broom, sponge and water bucket. The peasant watched him closely, and appeared fully to understand the details of the lesson given. Next morning, armed with a broom, a bucket and a sponge, he opened the first cage he came to and quietly stepped in, as he had seen his master on the previous day step into two cages of harmless brutes; but this one happened to be tenanted by a splendid but untamed tiger, that lay stretched on the floor fast asleep. At the noise made by the opening and closing the door the creature raised its head, and turned its green eyes full on the man, who, all unconscious of his danger, stood in a corner dipping his big sponge into the busket. At that moment Pezon came out of his caravan, and was struck dumb by the terrible sight that met his gaze. What could he do to warn the man of his danger? A sound, a movement on his part might enrage the great beast, and hasten its attack on the defenceless Cossack. So Pezon stood, awaiting developments, ready to rush to the scene when the crisis came. The peasant, sponge in hand, coolly approached the tiger and made ready to rub him down with the stolidity of a military bootblack polishing his captain's boots. The sudden application of cold water to its hide evidently produced a very agreeable effect on the tiger, for it began to pur, stretched out its paws, rolled on its back and complacently offered every part of its body to the vigorous treatment of the peasant, who went on scribing with might and main. All the while Pezon stood there with his eyes wide open, as if nailed to the spot. When he had finished his job, the Cossack left the cage as quietly as he had entered it, and it required the most energetic and expressive gestures on the part of the lion tamer to prevent his repeating his hazardous experiment on a second wild beast.—Philadelphia Press. The Questions Inside. Master Fred is one of those little people whose curiosity knows no bounds and who seem always wound up to ask questions. One day he was to have his hair cut and his father jokingly said it must be cut very short to stop his asking so many questions. "Oh, that wouldn't do any good," said Fred. "You'd have to cut my head clean off; the questions are inside of it." Jumping Salmon Salmon ascend rivers and streams, jumping waterfalls and rapids, going up stream as far as they can go, to deposit their eggs or spawn; then return to deep water. HOME-MADE WEATHER VANE Amusing Figure Which May Be Made to Tell Which Way the Wind Is Blowing. An ordinary clothes post or a stout strip of board nailed up against the fence or a shed so that it sticks well up into the air is a good place to fix up a weather vane. If it is made to represent a grotesque figure you will enjoy making it, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, and also enjoy watching its antics when it begins to swing, and to point the way from which the wind blows. First, whittle out an arrow and fasten it to the post, pointing due north. The arrow is to remain fixed. Now in the top of the post insert a stout wire, exactly perpendicular, and THE WEATHER VANE. so firm that it will not bend nor come out. The cutting out of the figure is the chief thing. Select a piece of pine board that is from a quarter to three-eighths of an inch thick, and that will not readily split. Draw the outline of the figure you intend to cut, and saw away the edges, cutting closely to the lines wherever you can. Then finish the figure with a sharp pocket knife. If only a small vane is desired it may be cut from a good, strong shingle. On the wire slip two or three small round pieces of leather for washers. These will keep the vane free from the arrow. Three or four small wire staples like two-pointed wire tacks will fasten the figure to the wire. Finally paint the weather vane in bright colors. READ THIS ALOUD. Betty Botter bought some butter; "But," she said, "this butter's bitter; If I put it in my batter, It will make my batter bitter; But a bit of better butter but" but make my batter better." So she bought a bit of butter, Better than the bitter butter, And made her bitter butter better. So 'twas better Betty Botter Botted a bit of better butter. Lifting the Hat. Do you know that the custom of lifting one's hat dates back to the age of chivalry? Knights, then, never appeared in public without their full armor. When they entered an assemblage of friends they removed their helmets. This action signified: "I am safe in the presence of friends." Thus the custom of gentlemen of to-day means the same thing—that he is in the presence of a friend. CUT OUT WALT-KOHL Cut out semicircle in picture.

DearEditor—Please find space in your interesting paper for some news from the park. Our first treat for the holi- days began at the school house, De- cember 22. Mrs. M. ©. Jones. our teacher, had prepared an excellent programme, which entertained the patrons and dircetors of the school two hours, After which the directors showed their appreciation by present- ing the girls with a ten dollar swing, and the boys with a foot ball. They also treated the pupils with nuts, oranges and candy. The teacher in West End Eureka Club. At Stolle’s hall, December 25, again we witnessed the entertainment of the above club. It was a nice affair, with a few exceptions. A few girls that ought to have been at home were there trying to act like women, likewise a few boys. Messrs. D. R. Russel, Whitten, Wil- liams, Ransom, Johnson, Dogley, Ran- kins, Martin, Perkins and A. B. Wylie kept things under control, but taking all in all it was a nice affair. | Prince of Africa. We noticed two gentlemen there ‘whom we thought were twins, but we afterwards learned that they were not relatives, but only a pair, Holland and Ashley. Mr. Dock Price, with his stove-pipe on, looked like the Prince of Africa. __ Yes, we saw Mrs, Lettie Dorsey of 27274 Mills street. She was as sedate and lovely as women get to be. Miss Georgia Scott of 2609 Lucas avenue was ‘very charming, and also Miss Minerva Craig of 4023 Easton avenue. She is ‘quite a singer; the sacred concert man- agers ought to engage her to sing. Madame Katie L. Boswell, president of the St. Louis Home and Foreign Charitable Club No. 1, auxiliary to the ‘Woman’s National Baptist convention, is beginning with the new year in the works of Christianity throughout the city of St. Louis, and is heartily glad to say that her missionary work for the last ten years has been crowned with success. Her heart’s desire is that her fervent prayer be recom- mended to every missionary worker throughout the entire world, Her prayer is as follows: Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt that ye-may know how ye ought to answer every man and woman that cometh within thy reach. re It is also her desire that the entire world would pause at the manger of Bethleham, where God-hood and man- feo Se aN eer Se a Sas Te i a gl OR ila AN na behalf of the pupils thanked the di- rectors for remembering them so boun- tifully. We then boarded a car and was soon at Mrs. Rector’s school in Ferguson, where we were entertained with another programme, and was treated to ice cream. On Wednesday, Mrs. Grant Edwards entertained us with a dinner. Among the guests were: Mrs. Minor, Mr. and Mrs, Davis and Mrs. M. B. Jones. By request Mrs. Jones repeated the programme at the church Wednesday night to a large audience of white and Colored people. Sunday Mrs. J. H. Davis entertained relatives with dinner. The guests from the city were: Mr. and Mrs. Rawles, Mrs. M. EB. Jones, and Miss Rogers. We heard Mrs. Joseph Armstead’s birthday dinner was a grand affair. Mr. C. A. Mason, an old acquaintance of C. H. Wheeler, has returned to: St. Louis. He was out. Prof. Lucky was there advertising his anniversary, which was on the 28th of December. He was dancing master. A number of pretty and lively girls in the city were there and acted well their part. We were glad to hear some one. say that these balls and dancing acad- enties are getting to be a thing of the past, as they are the ruination of the young people of our race. We assure them that time will-soon bring our peo- ple to their senses. J. W. W. ‘Mr. Oliver Ambrose and a few of his friends entertained their lady friends at 2605 Short Market street last Thurs- day evening with cards and dancing. This was his second entertainment since the death of his mother. He will go east this summer. His friend, Mr. James Sewell, will accompany him. Why not buy your horse feed at 7704 Ivory street?

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son to redeem Israel from her deepest val- leys of humiliation of sin and degra- dation. He came forth from the man- ger, kissed the plains of Judea, and with His great power of divinity shocked the great mountains of Jeru- salem, and paralyzed the minds of the greatest philosophers of the land. Even Napoleon was compelled to confess that there never was a name that dwelt among the sons of men as great as the name of Jesus. Madame Boswell is now wanted at Burksville and Creelsboro, Ky. (her native home), to arouse the mission- ary spirit among the women of those two towns, and will probably take a missionary tour through the entire state during the summer season. 2 et ae | OF THE | ‘The motto of the National Rip Saw is: “Blind as a bat to everything but right.” NOTICE—To the advertisers and subscribers of St. Louis Palladium: One Abbie Johnson, of 2822 Papin street, Is no longer connected with said paper.

On Morgan Street. As we turned east on Morgan street from Vandeventer avenue, we met Miss Young, of 4017 Easton avenue, and after speaking to her a minute, I asked, “Was the lady at home when you just left?” “Oh yes,” she an- swered. I hurried up and in less than two minutes I rang the bell. No one came, but we heard them on the in- side. I rang again as if I would pull the bell off, then came a boy to the door. I asked is Mrs. G—— in, and he said, “She went out this morning and has not returned. I looked the boy square in the face and said, “The lady that just left here told me she was in.” It was then that the boy knew not what to do or say.

No woman can be true to her sex and live to be over forty. Uneasy lies the female head that wears no new Easter bonnet. After man came woman, and she has been after him ever since. Most women nowadays are are fair in proportion as they are false. The less hair a woman has the more time it takes her to do it up. Flatter a woman and she will love you; pity her, and she will hate you. Women are like cats. Both are graceful, both are domestic and both scratch. The farther a man gets away from a dollar, the larger it looks. You can easily fill the public eye if you have sufficient dust. If you want to know the value of a dollar, try to borrow one when you really need it. When a man finds his clothes are too loose, he should either change tailors or his boarding place. Some women are both good and true —but most of them are too good to be true. Eve originated the Serpentine dance when she waltzed out of the Garden of Eden. This is a tough world for women at best. They must either marry or become old maids. More or less, all men have rode in their own carriage, when their mother pushed it along. Some are now riding the mule in the Palladium. A woman can drive a man crazy for twenty-four hours and then bring him to the gates of Paradise in two seconds by simply tickling him under the chin. Clothes may not make the man, but it is useless to create a disturbance by going around without them. A man's curiosity never reaches the feminine standpoint until someone tells him that his was in the St. Louis Palladium, then he buys two. Woman loves man and the dear fellow can't help it. She bosses him and the old fool doesn't know it. EPISCOPAL ADDRESSES. Bishops of the A. M. E. Church and Post Office Addresses. RT. REV. B. W. ARNETT, D. D., Wilberforce, O. RT. REV. WESLEY J.

CIGARS AND TOBACCOS Pool Room in Connection OPEN DAY AND NIGHT 2135 MARKET STREET PLEASE GIVE US A CALL JOHN H. CLARK, Gen'l Mgr. DICK KENT, Prop. R RS. ion The JEFFERSON BAR..... An establishment most worthy of praise and one that is a credit to the proprietor, is the undertaking establishment of W. C. Gordon, now located 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 gaze. He has been located at his present place of business five weeks last Wednesday, and during this short time about three thousand people have visited 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. The entire building is composed of 23 rooms, namely: Trimming room, morgue, receiving room, chapel, display 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 interest, one of which is the operating table, 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 is the trimming room. The name itself is suggestive to its use. This room leads into the receiving room, where the corpse is taken preparatory to going into the chapel. The chapel! 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 display parlorors 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 spoken with the exception of the offices and carriage room are found in the remodeled part of the building. This does not, however, include all the rooms, for let us remember 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, kitchen, sleeping apartments and bath, all of which, I could write of for hours, but should I give vent to this feeling, it would not be so interesting when you make your tour, and see for yourself as others 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 the 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 anyone when our liabilities are not over $30, and our advertisers and subscribers owe us over $400? We do ask that you will do your common duty to The Palladium that we may keep to the front. The Helping Hand Society. Meets the first Tuesday in each month. Admission fee, $1.

"Laziness and shiftlessness; these, and above all, vice and criminality of every kind, are evils more potent for harm to the black race than all acts of oppression of white men put together. The Colored MAN WHO FAILS TO CONDEMN CRIME IN ANOTHER COLORED MAN, WHO FAILS TO CO-OPERATE IN ALL LAWFUL WAYS IN BRINGING COLORED CRIMINALS TO JUSTICE, IS THE WORST ENEMY OF HIS OWN PEOPLE. Law-abiding black men should, for the sake of their race, be foremost in relentless and unceasing warfare against law-breaking black men. If the standards of private morality and industrial efficiency can be raised high enough among the black race then its future on this continent is secure. The stability and purity of the home are as vital to the welfare of the black race as they are to the welfare of every race.—Theodore Roosevelt. DR. W. D.
