CLARKE, Instructor. Vol. XXII. No. 10. REV. E. C. C. Some person, an enemy of Rev. Dr. Cole and the faithful members of First Baptist church, made a misleading and false report to the Post-Dispatch last Tuesday. Dr. Cole only left the chapel of the church after dismissing his congregation to avoid listening to a loud and senseless argument by two or three hot-headed and unreasonable men who seemed to have been mad because the church would not accept a resolution offered by them. It goes without saying that an overwhelming majority of the members of First Baptist church love their pastor, which will be shown in no small measure in the yery near future. The leading characters among the sore-heads at First Baptist church are known as confusionists in the lodge circles of St. Louis and the state of Missouri. Dr. Cole has been complimented again and again for his ability in getting along with these parties as long as he has. He has built up an ideal congregation at the old mother church second to none in the west; he has also succeeded in reducing the debt from $16,000 to $13,600 in the past few years, notwithstanding the opposi- COME UP AND AT BOOKER T.W 2353 MARK WE ARE ALWAYS OPEN. DAY AND N tion of a few chronic kickers, who are known for their lack of reverence and respect for the ministry. No self-respecting Christian man or woman will be found following such men. The account that was in in the Post-Dispatch last Tuesday was not in any way reliable, and since it appeared the officers of the church have singled out the disturbers, and in a short time their place will be on the outside of the church—and that BY EXPULSION. Rev. E. C. Cole has accomplished much good in the church since he has had charge of the same. We know these disturbers, and may call their names. The ordination council examined Deacons Hairston and Bollinger Sunday afternoon, and adjourned to meet next Sunday, the 18th inst.. to complete the ordination service. Rev. R. H. Cole will preach the ordination sermon at 3 p. m. Rev. Dr. Cole preached to a crowded house Sunday morning, and at the close of the sermon he baptized 30 precious souls, which was about half of the number yet to be baptized. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1906. CITY NEWS. Notes and News Concerning Our People--Weekly Record of Social Events, Deaths, Marriages and Births--Written Especially for St. Louis Palladium. Mrs. M. Morgan has moved from 1309 Poplar street to 1518 Chestnut street. Mrs. Viola Garrett has removed from 2604 Stoddard street to the 2700 block on Lawton avenue. Miss Edith Rocks, of 2218 Morgan street, is now selling the Palladium. Will you help her? Miss Ella Rucks, who is attending the district school, is studying hard for the upper grades. We wish her success. Rev. Sexton, the presiding elder in the North Missouri Conference, attended the Methodist Alliance, last Monday. Mr. Frank Fergusson, alias Henderson, is quite a skater. He likes it, don't you? Well, see him at St. Joseph Council No. 500. Miss Edith Nichols, of 3020 LaSalte street, is one of the best skaters—not at the Jim Crow rink—but at Brooks' or Douglass' rinks. Miss Williette Mason, the youngest daughter of Mrs. L. B. Mason, is the pride of the Dumas skating rink, and is considered the best child skater. Don't all answer at once. Who, was it that received a letter from a young lady giving him license to to—Well you know or ask him or her. Mr. J. L. Hopkins, of 3908 Finney avenue, is confined to his bed, very sick. His wife is much concerned about him. We hope for his early recovery. Miss Lillian Garth, of Courtland, Ala., is visiting Mrs. Cusins, of 1411 Poplar street. She will spend several months. Now is the time for some young man to get a very pretty southern girl. No mother and father, therefore no mother to leave. Order Re Mr. Charles William of 2218 Morgan street, is very sick at this writing—February 11. What we don't understand, is ministers making themselves common by falling below their calling as ambassadors of God. Mrs. A. M. Olive, of 3921 Finney avenue, has returned home after a pleasant visit of a month with friends in southwest Missouri. St. Joseph Council, A. K. and D. of A., will meet next Wednesday at Douglass hall. Let all the members turn out. Business of importance to be transacted. Julia Gibbs, M. E. Q. Ivanho Guards of the Knights of Tabor No. 2, male and female drill company, meet at their hall, Eleventh and Franklin avenue, every Sunday at 2 o'clock p. m. Mrs. M. H. Howard, captain; J. R. Wilson, secretary. Pastors of the different churches should know something about men who claim to be Ewangelists, and ministers of the gospel should be dignified to a certain degree. Too much levity in a minister makes him appear common and illbred. Mrs. Nettie Gladden, of 2005 Pine street, is the grandmother of two lov- ly twins, a boy and a girl—Bernice and Bertrand—and they are three years old and very intelligent for their age. Everyone is favorably impressed with them. Rev. Dr. J. H. May has been called to the Second African Baptist church of Savannah, Ga., one of the largest Negro churches in the world. Dr. May is at present in charge of the Corinthian Baptist church of St. Louis, and president of the ministers. He holds membership in the First Baptist church of St. Louis, one of the largest and oldest Baptist churches west of the Mississippi river. He will take charge of his church about the first of April. Prize Winners The ball masque at the Orpheus Academy, Friday evening, was a most enjoyable occasion. Nearly all who were present were masked. The giving of prizes has been influential in bringing out a large number of beautiful and interesting costumes. Those awarded prizes Friday night were: Mesdames Mayme Robinson, as Mrs. Carrie Nation; Dennis Haynes, Aunt Jemima; Olla Chambliss, old lady; Anna Shannon, country lady; Misses Chlotilde Hudlin, Spanish Sonorita; Julia Saunders, school girl; Bessie Brown, queen of Marbalo; Messrs, Henry Williams, clown; L. A. Stafford, Indian chief; Walter Hall, mascot, and Fred F. Thompson, Jew; Elmer Burgess, British sailor. A number of others were less conspicuously costumed. The growing popularity of the masque parties is attested by the ever-increasing numbers of our best citizens who attend them. They will continue throughout the pre-Lenten season. MISS DAISY WARE. The charming mezzo soprano. The Lyceum Sketch club's new musical star, who will sing at True Former's hall, Monday evening, February 26. Grand reception to Miss Ware and Great Western Band at 10 o'clock. Death of Mrs. Mattie Thomas. Mrs. Mattie Thomas of 2028 Carr street, died February 28, and was buried from Big Zion church, of which she was a member. She leaves a mother, two sisters, a brother and a host of loyal friends to mourn her loss. Mrs. Thomas was a member of the Hone Circle society, which organization had charge of the funeral. Peace be until the ashes of this good woman. Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Female Trouble. $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents. PAPER ON WORLDLY PLEASURE Read Before the Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance, February 12, 1906--Rev. W. D. Venable, P. H.D., Preacher, Orator and Pastor of "Compton Hill" Baptist Church. Brother president, worthy members of this alliance of Interdenominational Christian ambassadors, and friends—The subject assigned me is one of more than passing moment, it is, defacto, as closely allied to the perpetuity of the church of God, and her spiritual development as the throbbing of the heart to life. Do you ask what is the subject? "I answer worldly pleasures and the result of their practice by "Professed Christians." If the heart REV. W. D. VENABLE. cease it pulsations the body will soon present the ghastly picture of death. So when the heart of the blessed Nazarene is heard to beat no more in the militant church, the spiritual blood becomes stagnant and the result is inert, and death immediately follows. In the heart of worldly pleasures are the issues of death, but life, and life eternal emanates from the heart of Jesus Christ. So that the heart of worldly pleasure, and the heart of Jesus Christ can not live simultaneously in the body of the church. The reason we do not build railroads, steam vessels and contribute to the operation of great telegraphic systems, the reason we do not own more banks and shares in other great enterprises we run after all the "Horntooters" and fiddlers that come to town, and die with each other in attending balls, theaters, card and wine parties, beer gardens, wine rooms, excursions and so-called "Sacred concerts," the term "Sacred" used as a subterfuge to desecrate the Lord's day, and delude young men and women of Christian type. It is said of our ancestors in this country that the Dutch traders had only to show them pieces of "Red" flannel, and that through this simple means they were induced to "hop" on the ship. I ask is not the same simple flannel in other colors leading us from the home of Christian life in to places of degradation and shame? And if so, how will the "Twentieth Century" historian differentiate between our civilization and that of our ancestry? In God's name I make this appeal to your reason. Whither are we tending and what shall be the end? Watchman what of the hour? If we continue to pursue this course retrogression and ultimate degeneracy is inevitable. Yes, I appeal, in the name of God, to reason. Ah, did I say reason? Yes, reason, the mighty cannot used on the field of scientific battle, reason by which the mysteries of ages are divulged to the world. Reason earth's brightest hope and Always Open ..... 2337 Market St. W. D. VENABLE. Jack. The little jack sent to us this week by one of our mascots was very amusing indeed. 3233 Rutger street, that is my guess. No one to love, none to caress, roaming alone a poor lost— I like you, put not your style, and I don't like the way you talk about the mule. I am all right, donkey, don't you think so? From yours—guess who? This was a valentine we received. What think ye of it—a mule was on the card.

Missouri expended during 1905 nearly $13,000,000 in various forms of public education. This amount was paid by the state, by counties, towns, villages, by school districts and from interest on endowments for the support of schools of grades from the primary to the post-graduate. This sum was greater than the entire cost of the state governments of any two states bordering upon Missouri. It was, by nearly $1,000,000, the largest amount ever expended for public education in Missouri for a single year. The schools in Missouri supported in part by state appropriation are the district schools, the normal schools and the Missouri university, including the agricultural college and the school of mines. Miners Quit Work. The installation of electrical machinery in the Randolph county collieries about Huntsville has created such dissatisfaction among the miners that more than 500 have quit work since December 1. The men claim the rate offered is not as much as they could make at hand mining or "shooting off the solid," in the old way. When the subject was before the joint conference at Indianapolis John Mitchell contended that the miner was entitled to share in the profits arising out of the improved method of mining. Three Trains Daily on New Line. The new Carthage & Western railroad, an addition to the Gould system in Missouri, has put on three passenger trains daily each way between Carthage and Asbury. The six new trains daily serve a large and important territory northwest of Carthage through a rich agricultural and mining district, and the patronage is exceeding all expectation for the service. The mining towns of Alba, Purcell and Neck City are on the road and receive the benefit of the new train service. Mrs. Blair Gets Insurance. A jury in the St. Louis circuit court returned a verdict for $27,854 in favor of Mrs. Appolonia Blair, widow of the former general counsel of the world's fair, in her suit against the Provident Savings and Life Assurance company of New York on a policy on her husband's life. The company refused payment on the ground that Blair contemplated suicide when he signed the policy contract. Plans for More Lines. Over 300 farmers, business men and others held a meeting at Prairie Home, Cooper county, to consider plans for an electric road from Sedalia to Lupus, on the Missouri river in Moniteau county, and from Boonville to California. Either or both of these lines will pass through the very best part of Cooper county. Committees were appointed to meet with representative people and make report. A Peculiar Death. Robert Kerner, proprietor of the Boonville Foundry and Machine works at Boonville, was found dead early one morning with his head between two fence pickets on High street. The supposition is that he was stricken with apoplexy or stumbled and fell against the fence and was unable to release himself. He was 45 years old and left a widow and two children. College Orators to Contest. College orators to contest. At a recent meeting of the representatives of Park, Tarkio and Westminster colleges at Kansas City, the 1905 intercollegiate oratorical contest was decided to be held at Fulton, March 2. The winner of the contest represents the Missouri colleges at the interstate contest, to be held at Topeka, May 4, when ten other central states participate. Bar Commission Meeting. Chief Clerk John R. Green has announced that the next meeting of the state bar commission will be held in Louis March 5, in the house of delegates. All persons desiring to take this examination must file application at least ten days before the meeting of the commission. Fines Belong to School Fund. Attorney General Hadley has given an opinion to State Treasurer J. F. Gmelich that fines collected for violations of the game law should be deposited to the credit of the school fund instead of to the game protection fund. Electrician Disappears from Home. B. Mead, an electrician of Webb City has disappeared from his home. He left the keys to his store on a table at his home before leaving and a note stating he would never return. No reasons are given for his disappearance. Killed by a Falling Tree. Joseph Stayton, living 12 miles east of Adrian, met with sudden death while with other men cutting down a large tree which became lodged. In trying to get it down Stayton was caught under it and crushed to death. Willow Springs Paper Sold. The Willow Springs Republican, which has been owned and managed by Judge H. F. Dawes and daughter for the past seven years, has been sold to Rev. J. F. Scherer, of Willow Springs, who took immediate control. Springfield's New Hotel. The contract for the building of the Colonial hotel at Springfield has been let to the Cowell, Drake & Gibson company, of Columbus, Ind. The terms of the contract were not made public, but it is understood that the Colonial will be built for $175,000. Work is to begin inside of 30 days and the building be completed by January, 1907. The hotel is to be six stories high and built of repressed brick, in the colonial style of architecture. There will be 108 rooms, with 58 baths. The dining room is to be on the first floor, back of the office and rotunda. A Criminal Costs Deficiency. It appears now that there will be a big deficiency in criminal costs at the close of this biennial period. The last legislature appropriated $400,000 to pay criminal costs during 1905-6. The records in the state auditor's office show that $300,000 of that sum has already been drawn out to pay these cost bills, and by the middle of this year it is probable that the fund will be exhausted. The cost bills for the ensuing six months, amounting to $100,000, and maybe more, will have to be carried over to the next legislature as a deficiency. Assessors to Meet in Jefferson City. The state association of county assessors, in session at Mexico, have decided to hold their next meeting in Jefferson City some time during the session of the next general assembly. The new officers elected for the coming year are: President, C. F. Porter, of Osage county; vice president, Rufus Jackson, Audrain; secretary, J. C. Marquess, Lafayette county, and J. E. Garman, of Cole county, treasurer. To Make Uniform Rates for Oil. Attorney General Hadley and the state board of railroad and warehouse commissioners have been notified that the railroad companies will accede to the demand of the commissioners that they give to the independent oil companies the same rate as has been given to the Standard oil companies. The Missouri Pacific sent this notice, but it is taken to signify the action of all the other companies. Insurance Companies Must Answer. State Superintendent of Insurance Vandiver has mailed letters to 60 life insurance companies whose licenses expire on March 1, asking for information regarding rebates, special contracts and estimates. Superintendent Vandiver stated that unless satisfactory answers are received he will refuse to grant the renewal of the licenses when they expire. Drainage Canal to Cost $387,052. Engineer Bell and the river drainage board commissioners have finished their work of surveying the Marais des Cygnes river through Bates county, alongside of which they surveyed the proposed canal to drain the low land of the river. They have been on the work since September 9, 1905, and estimate the cost of the canal at $387,052.50. Rolla Aldermen Order Census. At a meeting of the aldermen a special census was ordered to ascertain the population of Rolla, for putting in a waterworks system. Rolla will come under the constitutional amendment permitting cities of 2,000 to contract indebtedness up to 10 per cent. of its assessed valuation. Gov. Folk Favors Land Tax Only. Gov. Folk is qouted as favoring the repeal by legislature of the personal property tax law, as he holds that it is responsible for the indescriminate spread of the crime of perjury. "I think the state is in a position to lift this burden completely from its citizens," he said. Fire Loss in Governor's Mansion. The losses occasioned by the fire in the governor's mansion in October last have been adjusted, the total amount paid being $8,000. The companies which carried the policies were the German, Northern, London and Liverpool and Globe, Continental and German of Freeport. Wildman Declines Presidency. M. S. Wildman, of the department of economics in Missouri university, whose name has been under consideration for the vacant presidency of Howard Payne college, of Fayette, has announced his declination of the position. Trans-Mississippi Congress. The executive committee of the Trans-Mississippi Commercial congress held a meeting and selected November 20 to 23 as the days when the congress will be in session in Kansas City. President David R. Francis, presided. Twenty-Foot Strike of "Jack." A twenty foot strata of lead and jack has been struck on the land leased by Dr. C. B. Taylor at Carthage. The January developments in the southwest Missouri mining district are greater than those of any corresponding period. Fine Hotel for Joplin. Col. Tom Connor, Joplin millionaire, mine operator and philanthropist, has announced that he soon will let the contract for an eight-story hotel to cost $500,000. 2601 LAWTON AVENUE, N. W. Cor.

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 New York each have 3..... 12 New York each have 3... Kansas, Nebraska, Maryland and Colorado, each 3..... 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..... 86 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.

BY REV. WILLIAM EVANS, B. D. (Director Biblical Department of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago; Offi- 8. 8. Lessons.） (Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles.) Scripture: Mark 1:12-34. Golden Text: "He healed many that were sick." Some one has said that in this lesson we spend a Sabbath with Jesus. We go with Him to church, listen to His preaching, watch Him when interrupted by a maniac cast out the evil spirit, and then make the cure a powerful aid to preaching. After the service we accompany Him to Peter's house, and see Him cure Peter's aged mother of a fever, and there spend the afternoon in quiet and rest. Towards sunset we see the people of the village bringing to Him a great number of sick folk on whom He lays His hands and heals. Thus Jesus spent one of the days of His life. And a busy day it was. Christ as a Teacher. Our lesson sets Christ forth as "one Who taught with authority, and not as the scribes." The teaching of Jesus struck the people like a panic. They had been used to the dry-as-dust teaching of the Scribes; Jesus "poke a living, not a mechanical message. He explained the Scriptures not as a commentator but as the author. Christ's message was first-hand. He spoke as one who knew. Christ's Teachings Authoritative To- Day Conscience is not the ultimate rule of life, the final arbiter in the questions of the soul. While we recognize that the conscience is the viceregent of God in the soul, the religious instinct in man, yet we must also be aware that it is a faculty that can be warped, drugged, misguided and silenced. Therefore it cannot be depended upon as an absolutely correct criterion of truth and conduct. Reason Is Not the Ultimate Authority. A man may say that he needs no other revelation than his own reason, or that he will accept nothing in the Bible saving what accords with his reason, thereby making his reason and not the revelation of God the criterion of right and wrong. Inasmuch, however, as different men have different "reasons" for doing, believing and judging things, we become at once involved in a maze of conflicting standards of truth and we are left hopelessly in the dark. Reason therefore cannot be the ultimate authority in matters of faith and practice. Words of Jesus Final and Authoritative When Jesus Christ has spoken there is nothing more to be said. When Christ has passed His judgment, there is no appeal from it. His words are final and authoritative. Jesus said: "He that rejecteth Me, and receiveth not My words, hath one that judgeth him: The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." Thus we see that the words of Christ are not only to be the standard of our conduct here and now, but the standard by which we shall be judged hereafter. Jesus as a Miracle Worker. Miracles were not the principal part of Christ's work. They were always subordinate. More than once Christ expressed the fear that men might be tempted to make miracles the most prominent part of His work, and thus advertise Him as a healer of men's bodies rather than the saviour of their souls. That was the reason why again and again He forbade those Whom He had healed to advertise the healing. This is vastly different from certain sects to-day who make "healings" the principal thing, and soul-saving subsidiary. Miracles were merely incidental to the soul-saving work of Christ. Miracles Typical of Jesus' Desire to Help Men. Jesus never wrought miracles to prove to the people that He was the Messiah. Indeed the challenge to cast Himself down from the pinnacle of the temple was a temptation of the devil to make Christ miraculously prove to the waiting people in the courts below that He was the Messiah. This He resolutely refused to do. Nor were the miracles performed for the purpose of persuading men. They were tokens of Christ's willingness to relieve the distresses of men. Christ's mission is ours likewise. As He was sent into the world by the Father, so are we sent by the Son. Our fellows are bowed down with spiritual ailments far more serious than the physically of Christ's day. The soul has its diseases just as well as the body. The spiritually blind, the moral leper, the man dead to the things of God, all these need the healing touch of the Christ. It is the duty of the church to see to it that these are brought into contact with the Great Physician. Christ Casts Out Demons. Demoniacal possession was common in the day of Christ. Whether it is still in existence, whether or not men are still possessed by demons may be an open question. Returned missionaries from China, India and other foreign countries are very emphatic in the declaration of their belief in demon possession, to-day. Christ can cast out these demons. Let us see to it that we who are His disciples bring those who are possessed by evil spirits and habits to Christ. Even the demons are gubled Tumors Conquered Without Operations Unqualified Success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in Cases of Mrs. Fox and Miss Adams.

Shortly after I felt so badly I submitted to a thorough examination by a physician, and was told that I had a tumor and would have to undergo an operation."

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "About three years ago I had intense pain in my stomach, with cramps and raging itch, and I was not sure but finding that I did not get any better he examined me and, to my surprise, declared I had a tumor. "I felt sure that it meant my death warrant, and was very disheartened. I spent hundreds of dollars in doctoring, but the tumor kept growing, till the doctor said that nothing but an operation would save me. Fortunately I corresponded with my aunt in one of the New York hospitals who assisted with widow Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound before submitting to an operation, and I at once started taking a regular treatment, finding to my great relief that my general health began to improve, and after three months I noticed that the tumor had reduced in size. I kept on taking the Compound, and in ten months it had stopped. I continued the observation, and using no medicine but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and words fail to express how grateful I am for the good it has done me."—Miss Luela Adams, Colonnade Hotel, Seattle, Wash.

M. church, 3961 Fairfax were caused to hang their heads in shame last Sunday night, and Rev. Winters was much cast down on account of a so-called preacher. ‘There are a few soreheads in the First Baptist church. They onght to be thrown out of the church. They are always nagging at something, like a puppy. Rey. G. W. Gaines,of North Cardinal, is one of the ablest ministers in the connection, is now pastor of the above church. He is now conducting a revival at the church. On account of the weather being so changable, and Colcred ladies are so delicate, that they can not stand the weather, we are compelled to do our own collecting. Please be ready for us, We do hope that the ministers of St. Louis will be more careful in get- ting men to assist them in filling their pulpits. Some of these renegades are liars, thieves, whisky bloats, rounders and pickpockets. We see from the papers that W. T. Vernon's name hag been sent to the senate for confirmation, and it seem: that the appointment was sent sooner than it would have been, on account of the woman that would appear next day; yet she went to the president and he refused to see her. What we want to know, is this right and fair? Brothers Whittaker and Clem, of Coffeyville, Kas., took a passing shot at the Palladium man last week in de- fense of W. T. Vernon. There is a great difference in what you know via of your own knowledge of a man and what the other fellow thinks he knows. Keep quiet, brothers, there is a coon up this tree, and the Palladium will bring him down. When Abraham Lineoln, Grant, Gar- field, Logan, Morton and McKinley died, the Negroes thought their only friend was dead and the republican party would stop. Not so; all is well. Some persons thought that the Pal- ladium would stop if they were not with us. What think ye of the Palladium this week? We did it all. As the Duteh- man said, “It is just the same.” What think ye of 4-11-44? 18 W. T. VERNON THE MAN FOR JUDSON LYON’S MANTLE? ‘The editor of the Palladium has never yet stooped to attack a man from a point of malice ox personal griey- ance, an@ poor as the editor is he will pay fifty dollars to anyone who is able to prove that he has ever made an assertion which has was unable to substantiate with unrefutable evidence. ‘We have no choice for Judson Lyons’ mantle, but we believe that Prof. Ver- non is not the mam for the position. Prof. Vernon has acquired considerable reputation in the state of Kansas, and doubtless stands well with a number of politicians. The men who in- dersed Prof. Vernon have based their indorsement on his reputation and abil- ity as a politician. If these elements are the sole requisites for such an ex- alted position, then Prof. Vernon should be confirmed; but if on the other hand the president intends to adhere to his often-professed policy of appointing to office only Negroes of higher qualifica- tions, then Prof. Vernon should not have been chosen. John W. Wheeler and the Palladium have no personal feeling against Prof. Vernon or favor- {tism for Judson Lyons, nor have we any candidate for the registership, but we do not propose to sit quietly by and see the president depart from his own established custom of selecting only ROOSEVELT--LONGWORTH WEDDING. yy Zp E= (Gh) Gea GYLZZE SS Bae Me ee UD gee Pee Ae Cg Ca Kee Vie = Se Vit sea Vee == hee ae Ae - ee “gs eo. ene \ is es i Ha = g 2 ee VBA ge . a ee = Z So mee) ay Ke Ben Yi i M7 NG sia a. “Al & f 4) 7 /)\ \ Vee Bet Bie YM) og NA! } aga THE FAMOUS RECORD BREAKERS.

VICE-PRESIDENT. ° MARDI GRAS NIGHT. Tuesday Evening, February 27, 1906, ‘asen Grits, waar le Miss Alice Roosevelt, the president's daughter, will be married to Mr. Nicholas Longworth, Saturday, Febru- ary 17, 1906. She will be the fourth president’s daughter married in the White House, and the tenth of the White House brides. In 1820 President James Monroe's daughter married Sam- men possessing all the needed quali- fications. Years ago the editor of the Palladium asserted that President Cleveland had made a serious mistake in the appointment of C. H. J. Taylor as recorder for the District of Colum- mia. Mr. Taylor's record is too well known to be discussed. We also ven- tured the prophecy that Dr. Crossland was entirely too small for a United States minister. The truth of our as- sertion dawned upon the American public when the late John Hay, then secretary of state, was compelled to recall Dr. Crossland from Liberia. We live in Missouri, and have known Prof. Vernon for a good many years. We assert in fearless and unprejudiced words that W. T. Vernon is not the man for Lyons’ mantle. The Palladium has the goods; we are from Missouri, and can show you if you wish to see. WILL ROOSEVELT HEAR HER Will the president hear Emma Brown in the case of W. T. Vernon? Is it possible that the entire nation wil turn a deaf ear to the pleadings of a reputable Negro woman? ‘There is a tendency among the members of the Negro press and race to suppress such’ facts as will re flect upon such members of the race as may aspire for public honor or ad- vancement. ‘The Palladium man will not become a party to such methods. Big or little, we accord all men fair play, nothing more and nothing less. The woman in the case is known to be of respectable family and honest parentage, and de- spite what the big fellows have to say, she ig entitled at least to the con- sideration of being heard. If a black man can put on the garb of a minister and attack with impunity the character of defenseless women then theNegroministry had better hide itself away to the tall uncut timbers of forgetfulness. In 1899 the Palla- dium ‘made its first reference to the a uel L. Gouveneur, of New York. In 1843, President John Tyler's daughter married William Waller, of Virginia. In 1871, President Grant's daughter married Algernon Sartoris, of England. And now, this February, Alice Roose- velt will become Mrs. Nicholas Long- worth, of Cincinnati. 'W. T. Vernon-Emma Brown affair, and it was at this time that W. T. Vernon wrote his famous plea to John | W. Wheeler for mercy. John W. Wheeler still holds that important let- ter and will reproduce it at the proper time. After all man’s reputation counts for little for is often only a mask behind which rest his true self in the character which constitutes the man proper. One Negro journal goes so far as to charge that the lady and her parents have tried to blackmail Prof. Vernon and obtain money from him. This is all bosh and the paper man who made the statement knows as much. If such were the case Prof. Vernon would have long since resorted to legal measures and thereby vendi- cated himself. On the 11th day of Oc- tober, 1899, Jno. W. Wheeler received a letter from W. T. Vernon, after hav- ‘ing refered to the Emma Brown af- fair in the Palladium, of October 7; 1899, in which letter Mr. Vernon said, “For God's sake Wheeler do not ruin me, etc.” Now if any man doubts these things let him ask W. T. Vernon, and it’s the Palladium’s life to a ginger snap that he will mot deny thes» words. Right is right since God is God and right the day will win. We have na candidate for the registership. Any clean, honorable Negro will suit the Palladium. It is to be sincerely hoped that in the future when Negro journals enter into the defense of a man that they will know what they are talking about. | The Methodists’ Union. ‘The Methodists’ Union met at St. Paul's A.M. B. church last Wednes- day. After the reading of the minute: Rev, B. W. Stewart read a paper. “Jashua” was his subject. The pape1 was quite interesting, and gavg much food for discussion. ‘The membets were somewhat backward in attacking the president's paper. J. W. Wheeler opened the discussion, and a sharp discussion followed. Several ministers indorsed the paper. The slight criticism was taken in a Christian spirit. ‘The meet- ing adjourned to meet next Monday. St. Clair. We have found a little town out in eastern Missouri known as St. Clair, which is not represented in anything at all, but the ladied out there now say we will be known, and are thinking strongly of organizing the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten among them. The ladies are all prominent and highly respected citizens of this little place. Some of our sisters have been out and gotten the folks in the notion of mak- ing themselves known. She says she has gone so far as to get her charter members down. The following ladies will take part- Miss Mamie Ewing, as princess; Mrs. Carrie Lilse, as~vice- princess; Mrs. Binnie Murray, as sec- retary, Mrs..Lee Jenerly, as treasurer; Mrs. L. Jackson, as chaplain; Mrs. Fannie Ewing, chairman of the board of trustees; Mrs. Hinkle, as chairman ee visiting board; Mrs. A. Inge, inside gatekeeper; Miss Winnie Ewin Joshua, Miss Lille Ewing and Mrs. Mattie Jackson as junior and senior marshals. The other officers I just can't recall. The ladies, all seem to be deeply inter- ested in the club. Now, ladies, you all ‘call your meeting together once a week, and try and keep your club to- gether, and let us know when you can have a big meeting in the school or ehurch, and the grand organizer and others will come out to meet you. We will come just when you say that you will have them all together. Invite everybody—men and women. The meetings are public; they don't have to come to our meetings. Let them all ‘come and hear for themselves, and then they can tell if they feet like taking part with us as sisters and_ brothers of the U. B. F. and 8. M. T.. We prom- ise to help those ladies who have made up their minds to step to the front with us, We hope that St. Clair temple will meet the grand lodge this year. At Douglass Hall. The sacred concert was grand last Sunday. Prof. Blue again showed his masterly power in music. Prof. John Freeman held the congregation spell- bound in his song. There ig none like him. He is beyond any question the best singer in the west. Hon. Charles Nagel spoke at some length on self-reliance. His efforts were very effective, logical and convine- ing. We could have sat for hours and listened to him handle the subject of “Self-Reliance.” Mr. Nagel is the sec- ond Chauncey I. Filley. to the Negro. He is a true friend to the Ne- gro’s interest in every way. Ask any Negro of note concerning Mr. Nagel and he will tell you that he is one of nature's true gentlemen in every re- spect. We must give credit to Mr. J. W. Grant for having such men to speak to us, Notice. The T. C. G. C’s don't give their prizes to their secretary's and prest- dent’s wives. Nor do we permit any of our members to enter our contests. Yours truly, SUNNY MACK. HARRY DENNY. A Birthday Reception. Next Monday at 8 p. m. to 11 p. m. a grand reception will be tendered Rev. W. D.

WScN WRITING MENTION NAME OF THIS PAPER) [ASEN WRITING MENTION NAME OF THIS PAPER) | RP SH CL ST.LOUIS PALLADIUM The motto of the National Rip Saw is: “Blind as a bat to everything but right.” Tf the ministers of the A. M. E. church are! championing the cause of W. T. Vernon, they could be engaged in better business. When W. T. Vernon is confirmed, in what society will he enter im Washing- ton, D. C.? Ask a so-called doctor in St. Louis. Last week when were out collecting we saw a doctor's buggy in front of a Colored person’s home. What will be the result? Answer: W. C. Gordon or Russell will be there next. When W. T. Vernon goes to Wash- ingthon, D. C., he will be known as the “Wild Boy of Borneo’—a man well advertised on account of notoriety. The club girls are not worth 15 cents in bad nickels. They are at balls, skating rinks, every dog fight, until 11 and 1 o’ciock at night. Show me a woman that is a mem: ber of a woman’s club and I will tell you her children are neglected. I! no children, then the husband is. The biggest nuisance in the world is a club woman, for it won’t be long before her husband will be clubbing her for neglect of duty in her home. A girl that is not willing to work and get money by the sweat of her brow will soon go to ruin—tor in this man’s town you must work or do worse. We ask a lady to do some work for us, she said, NO, unless you pay me so much. I replied that I always paid for what I have done. She set her price. I said NO ind you will work, steal or do as other common people do. Birds of a feather will lock to- gether. When you see a man in com- pany with a tough, his stamp is upon the other. When a girl knows that an- other girl is any thing but a lady— why is it that they are always in ther ccmpeny. Answer--because she Is no better than she. We have stated time enc time again that the “write-up” after the enter- tainment is of greater value than the “ad.” For the past two months we have written up several grand displays, and the same were a success, which all ad- mitted. Yet when we present cur bill they say: “We did not ‘order it,” and they do not pay the bill. We have only this to say: “We will meet you again some time in the near future, or under the St. Louis Palladium Mule.” WW Some small two-by-four Negroes, who live on Walnut street, think that the reporter of The Palladium over- did the thing at the Buffalos’ ball. We wish to state that they should not think all of the Negroes are as poor as themselves, nor myself. Some of our people have some of this world’s goods, but small niggers, like the grumbler, are too prejudiced to give other pecple the benefit of anything. We will stake our lives against a pea- nut that the grumblers are not worth 10 cents of dog meat, and think that every Negro 's as mean and poor as themselves. We wish we knew your names; we would call them. A REPORTER FOR THE PALLADI- uM. - 5 At the Roosevelt Club. Last Saturday night the Palladium man entered the Pythian hall, enrobed in his mantle of invisibility, at which time a man who says he is a doctor ? was speaking. He poured out some ho! lava on the editor of the Palladium as he entered into an impassioned plea for the success of W. T. Vernon. Th? doctor ? was assisted in his plea by one of the worst sons of Ham unhung. It happened that neither of these po- litical knights has an over plus of standing in the character world, and if a man would haye his character up- held he must find stronger henchmen to espouse his case. The little Negro doctor ? from Chattanooga and the in- terloper from Kansas City will not set the world dizzy with their impassioned pleas on morality. The Ministers’ Undenominational Union. ‘The ministers’ undenominational un- fon met at Tabernacle Baptist church, last Monday, and much interest was manifested in the entire proceedings. The’ question discussed was,“Does God Hear a Sinner Pray?’ After much dis- cussion the programme was taken up. Rey. W. D. Venerable read an able paper on “Professed Christians Partici- pating In the Evils and Pleasures of the World.” The paper touched upon the real work of the minister, and was endorsed by Reverends Rucks, Lacey, Winters and Wheeler im the discussion which followed. The union will meet at Rev. Gillum’s church next Monday. ‘The Frisco System is among the best railroad systems in this country.

To date it is 398, and both faculty and students are eagerly watching the arrival of the four hun- dreth student. The summer schcol is yet to be heard from, and undoubtedly with this included the enrollment for the year will not be far short of five hundred. Arrangements have been made for midwinter classes,as is now the custom in leading schools and colleges, and those who find it impossible to enter until this season of the year neeg not in any sense feel that it is time lost. ‘To many teachers with short terms such an arrangement of classes will prove a great blessing, and several who find the summer term) too short a time in whieh to bring themselves up in all of the studies they desire to take are availing themselves of the excellent opportunities here afforded them for more extensive work during the m‘q- winter and spring terms. All are wel- come, and will be well cared for im the various departments. Among the visitors of the current week we note Mrs. Phelps, of St. Jo- seph, who brought with her two new students, and whese daughter, Miss Pansy, is a member of the freshman class and of the orchestra. Mrs. Phelps was enthusiastic over the work of the institution, and purchased some of the paintings executed by students in the department of art. Prof. J. M. Rutledge, a garduate of Lincoln Institute, class of 1881, and for several years professor of mathematics in the institution, recently made the school a very interesting talk, “Remi- niscences,” in which he reviewed the growth and advancement of the school since the year in which he entered it as a student. The students of to-day, housed in beautiful buildings, with’ al ‘modern improvements, he thought could hardly appreciate what it meant to obtain an education in those earlier ‘days. | President Allen is fully alive to the necessity of a strong business course a: a means of increasing the efficiency ot |the average man and woman, and i: ‘sparing no pains to make this cours one of the strongest features of the work of the institution. | Joveph Douglass, “our violinist,” ‘gave one of his delightful concerts {r Zion A.

Of- NOTICE. This space is reserved for the race- haters who go to the Jim Crow rink. ATTENTION. Some weeks ago a Jim Crow rink for Negroes, in St. Louis, and as there were two first-class rinks conducted by Colored men of good standing we paid little attention to the Jim Crow rink, but despite the fact that there have been ample accommodation pre- vided by Negro gentlemen for all of the skating members of the race in the city, a crowd of measley disloyal Ne groes can be seen nightly making their way to this Jim Crow rink. Much con- solation may be found in the fact, how- ever, that these frequenters do not rep- resent the class of the race, but are the scum, riff-raff and scalawags who have no pride or respect for themselves or the race. Last Sunday the hoodlum wagon backed up at this place and car- ried away a load of these darkies to the calaboose. Every day that this class of Negroes are away from the work house, they are away from home. A. U. K. and D. of A. Funeral.

Many cases of deafness now under treatment by London physicians are attributable by them to influenza. Apparently healthy persons frequently carry diphtheria germs in the mouth, thereby infecting eating and drinking utensils, and in this way they may be instrumental in spreading the disease. Dr. Koch, the famous German scientist, is to take charge of an expedition to investigate the sleeping sickness in German East Africa. The German colonial department has, it is said, given a great sum of money toward the expenses of the expedition. When the floor of the operating theater of the old hospital at Canterbury, England, was torn up the other day the rings were discovered through which were passed the cords for tying patients down on the operating table prior to the discovery of anesthetics. An application has been made by the Japanese government to the British General Medical council, asking it to recognize the degrees of Japanese medical practitioners in various parts of the British empire. It is in the Straits Settlements that the Japanese doctors particularly wish leave to practice at present. A member of the British Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons says: "The growth of quack dog doctors and bogus medicines during the last few years has been simply appalling. These "dog specialists", as they call themselves, are usually dog dealers with good knowledge of canine habits but absolute ignorance of medicine." A Japanese scientist named Matsura has been studying the effects of diseases and the varying physical state of the body upon the growth and thickness of the hair. He finds that hair, especially in the case of persons whose hair is of coarse structure, is so sensitive to bodily condition that it contains a veritable history of the state of the individual to whom it belongs, for the period covered by its growth.

Living under the same roof at Kokomo, Ind., there are a 16-year-old mother, a 32-year-old grandmother and a 52-year-old great-great-grandmother. According to La Tribuna di Roma, one of the gatters worn by Garibaldi when he was wounded in the battle of Aspromonte August 28, 1862, has been presented to the mayor of Rome. The area devoted to corn in Kansas in 1905 was 6,799,755 acres, an increase over that of 1904 of 305,597 acres, or 4.7 per cent. The average yield to the acre for the entire state was 28 bushels. Referring to the transition stage of the orient, Bishop Hamilton said to the Church Extension Society of the Methodist Episcopal church, in San Francisco, the other day: "We are to see the future history of the world through the Golden Gate." Baseball has found a foothold in the City of Mexico, and is to gain further interest from the opening of grounds devoted to this sport at Chapultepec. There is the famous castle where President Díaz is at home, as well as the military academy of Mexico. On holidays and Sundays very large crowds resort thither to hear the band concerts. Finance Minister Limantour is ready to give a concession on grounds there for 20 years, provided $20,000 is expended in improvements. A BOY'S BREAKFAST. There's a Natural Food That Makes Its Own Way. There's a boy up in Hoosick Falls, N. Y., who is growing into sturdy manhood on Grape-Nuts breakfasts. It might have been different with him, as his mother explains: "My 11-year-old boy is large, well developed and active, and has been made so by his fondness for Grape-Nuts food. At five years he was a very nervous child and was subject to frequent attacks of indigestion which used to rob him of his strength and were very troublesome to deal with. He never seemed to care for anything for his breakfast until I tried Grape-Nuts, and I have never had to change from that. He makes his entire breakfast of Grape-Nuts food. It is always relished by him and he says that it satisfies him better than the ordinary kind of a meal. "Better than all, he is no longer troubled with indigestion or nervousness, and has got to be a splendidly developed fellow since he began to use Grape-Nuts food." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs ABOUT SHINING TRESSES. Do Not Curl Hair Immediately After a Shampoo—How to Obtain Desirable Gloss. Your hair must shine this year or you will not be in it. No need to struggle against the inevitable; your hair has got to shine. If it is naturally dull hair, so much the worse for you. It means lots of work and lots of money, for shine it must, writes Mme. Julie D'Arcy, in the Chicago Chronicle. There was once a woman whose hair was dull and drabbish. It hadn't a bit of shine to it. There was a dull look about it which made it appear as though it were unkempt and uncombed. This woman with the dull hair went to a hairdresser. "What shall I do," asked she, "in order that my hair may shine?" The hairdresser ran an inquiring finger through it. "Wash it," said she. And then she told her how to do it. The woman withdrew, highly offended, but at last accounts her hair was glossy, which may mean that she has washed it. Washing the hair will do a great deal toward making it shine. "It isn't so much the washing as the rinsing," said the hairdresser. "Your hair is like your hands, easily cleaned, but it takes a lot of rinsing water to restore the color. It isn't so much the soap as it is the water. You can get along for days with a tiny bit of soap, but you need enough water to float a boat." Rinsing the hair is very important. You must soap it well and scrub it with the finger tips. Then comes the important part, which is the getting rid of the soap. To get your hair per- A. THE CROWN OF GLORY. fectly clean you must rinse and rinse and then rinse some more. There is a girl who always washes her hair in snow water in the winter time. She takes enough snow to fill a wash basin. This she sets in a warm place, adding an equal amount of water from the faucet. When it is all melted and mixed it is ready for the hair. This makes a nice soft shampoo water. The hair should be rinsed under running water. You need a little spray, and this should be turned upon the hair until there is not a particle of soap left in the hair. If you have no sprayer and cannot use running water then take nine rinsing waters and add a little borax to the last one. Hair properly rinsed once in two weeks need never be shampooed unless one is traveling. The automobile girl must shampoo her hair very often. So must the girl golfer. But the woman of ordinary tastes need not do so more than once in three months. Other times she can just rinse. Making the hair shine is a distinct art. Don't dry it in a steamer or it will never shine. Don't dry it in the dark. This makes it dull and heavy. Don't wash it on a damp day or you cannot dry at all, and damp hair is always dull hair. Don't dry it when you are in a hurry, for it takes time to get all the moisture out. And don't try to do the job without all the implements at hand, a fan, sunshine and a good assistant. Hair to shine well must be dried in the sun. It must have a good free play of air through its strands and it must be treated while it is being dried. Otherwise it will be dull and lusterless. It takes some one who knows how to dry hair. But if well dried it will shine and repay the worker. If your hair is of the lifeless sort don't give up, but go to work at it. Have it well washed in plain soap jelly. This is always good for the hair, and then dry it well. Dry it until it is bone dry, and to do this you need the sunshine and a swift fan. Otherwise the moisture will not disappear entirely. The way to tell whether hair is dry is to squeeze it in the hand. It should seem light, not heavy, and it should fly when released. It should not mat and cling to the hand, but, on the contrary, it should fly freely on being released. Don't curl the hair the day it is dried or you take all the life out of it and all the gloss. Get along the best you can with it until next day. Don't put tongs to it for 24 hours after it is washed. It will shine brighter and keep the curl better. Hair curled two days after it is shampooed and waved will hold the waves for a week. Between Friends Gladys—Jack declares he loves me for all he is worth.

Here is a suggestion for a children's party that will prove welcome to the mothers, for the party season is again upon us and there seems to be an epidemic of birthdays, following close on the holidays. Each child loves "Mother Goose," so ornament the invitations for this party with pen and ink sketches of the characters so dear to every childish heart, or buy a cheap copy of the book and cut out the pictures, pasting one on each invitation. Say that "Mother Goose" will be at home on such a day from three to five or seven to ten (which ever hour is most suitable), and requests all the little goslings to be present. As far as possible the mothers should let the children choose their own characters, no matter if there are duplicates. When all arrive form a grand march, each child repeating his rhyme when his or her name is called. When refreshments are served "Little Jack Horner" must be asked to preside over his famous pie, which is made as follows: Take the largest tin pan procurable or a small wooden tub; fill with bran or fine sawdust and put in a souvenir for each guest. These should be small articles tied with ribbon. Over the top stretch tissue paper, through which pull the ribbons; then put a piece of crepe paper neatly around the outside of the pan. At a given signal each child is to take hold of a ribbon and altogether sing "Little Jack Horner," and when the words "pulled out a plum" come the ribbons are pulled, and each child will be delighted over the forthcoming "plum." "Tarts" supposed to be made by the "Queen of Hearts" are a feature of the refreshments. A prize may be given for the best costume, the children taking the vote, but this is optional with the hostess.—Madame Merril. DETAILS AND BEAUTY. Look Well to Small Points of the Appearance and Find Decided Increase of Comeliness. The hands should be manicured at least once a week at home or by a professional, as you prefer. The time spent on it is well worth while. Always dry the hands carefully, and keep the flesh about the base of the nails free, so that the "half moon" will show. This will prevent the unsightly agnails. If the hand is scrawny fatten it up by massage with a good skin food. The following is better than soap for tender hands. It is both softening and whitening in effect: Powdered marshmallow root, two ounces; carbonate of soda, two ounces. Stir into 12 ounces of harley meal. In doing rough housework always wear gloves; it may seem a bother, but it pays. Wear rubber gloves when washing dishes. When retiring rub the hands with good cold cream and slip on old, loose gloves. Little things are all of these things; that it takes but a few minutes to do; yet if persisted in regularly and systematically the hands will soon show the results in softness and whiteness. The hair, the eyebrows, the teeth, the dress, the figure, all should be looked after with the same care to make the most and the best of what nature has given you. If you are not beautiful in face, take in hand these other things and improve them all that is possible, and you will come so near being beautiful few will notice the difference. DOILY: EMBROIDERY. Unique One Made of Silk, Edged with Silk Fringes and Embroidered in China Ribbon. A very dainty doily of white silk is illustrated here; it is embroidered with a spray of forget-me-nots worked with China ribbon; each petal of both flowers and buds is worked with one stitch of the ribbon, and a knot-stitch of A SILK DOILY yellow is worked in the middle. The stalks are in cording-stitch of green silk; the bow is also outlined with cording-stitch worked with pale pink silk. a row of French knots being worked in the center. The edge of the dolly must be neatly hammed round, then finished with a silk fringe. New Suits. Some of the prettiest suits are being made up now for southern travel and for wearing in later spring, of white serge and chevots, Panama cloth and other light weight woolen stuffs—even white broadcloth, though it is the least serviceable of them all. Most of them are made with short skirts, though an occasional broadcloth one has a long circular skirt and a loose coat, and is worn with a lace or lingerie blouse. Such a costume as this serves a variety of purposes, for the coat may be worn over any light dress, and yet, when worn with the skirt which belongs to it, resolves itself into a good-looking white suit. ECHOES FROM RELIGIOUS FIELDS A KING AND A PREACHER. What the Ruler of the Caroline Islands Is Doing for His People. Leka, the king of Nukuor, after a year spent in study with the American board missionaries on Kusia, returned to his people, prepared to help forward the cause of Christ. Though Leka is king, he is also minister and teacher. The people have gathered to his support in a loyal way. His training while at Kusiaa was in the Gilbert language; so that he must study his Bible in the Gilbert, and then give it to his people in their native tongue. He has taken hold of his task with true purpose, and the people, on their part, are industrious in learning their lessons. The church at Nukuor was built by the islanders and is the wonder of all the islands. The walls are built of coral rock, plastered with the white lime made from the coral. The heavy timbers were sawed or hewn from the breadfruit trees. The wood is red, and when planned and carved is very beautiful. The plank flooring of this same wood was all sawed and planned by hand. The roof is of thatch. The workmanship shows the greatest care on the part of the people and in every way is very acceptable. The design is their own, and remarkably suitable for the climate. IN NEED OF FUNDS. Work of the American Bible Society Hampered by Insufficient The American Bible society finds itself for the first time in a quarter of a century in debt. Its reserve surplus is entirely used up. During the last four years it has drawn upon this surplus on an average $30,000 a year, in order that its far-reaching missionary work at home and abroad might not be suddenly crippled. Now this surplus is exhausted and the society is in debt. Legacies, formerly so large and constant, have ceased to be a dependable source of income. The present annual contributions from life members, donors, churches and auxiliaries, together with the income from trust funds are insufficient for the work of the society, and this work, it is said, should everywhere be enlarged and nowhere diminished. The society asks for many thousands of new givers, at least 1,000 who will pledge a hundred dollars a year for a term of years; and for a $50,000 advance over last year's receipts to meet the appropriations already made. The society's year ends March 31, 1906. Unless such help is received, says the Record of Christian Work, ruinous retrenchment in its benevolent work must immediately follow. A Splendid Showing In the eighth edition of his great "History of Missions," just published, Prof. Warnke gives the following interesting figures concerning the number of converts from heathenism living in 1904: In America, Evangelical, 8,421,000, Roman Catholic, 633,000; in Africa, Evangelical, 1,123,000, Roman Catholic, 531,000; in Asia, Evangelical, 1,808,000 Roman Catholic, 3,374,500; in Australasia, Evangelical, 293,000, Roman Catholic, 95,000; total, Evangelical, 11,646,500, Roman Catholic, 4,633,500. In these statistics, however, American negroes, Evangelical (7,225,000), and Roman Catholic (160,000), are counted converts from heathenism. When these are deducted we find that in 1904 there were 4,421,500 Evangelical and 4,473,500 Roman Catholic converts from heathenism in mission fields. Missionary Work in Iowa A missionary in Iowa writes: "In visiting where I was holding meetings, I called on a prosperous farmer; he had a wife and five small children. They told me they never went to church; had no time. Their little boy and girl, seven and eight years old, came one night; asked to be allowed to come again. The mother said: 'You can if you fill the woodbox.' The little girl asked leave to go home from school early, filled the box, and attended meeting. After a few nights the parents came, bringing all the family, and when the invitation was given to those who wanted to be Christians, father and mother and children stood."

Anamia is just the doctor's name for bloodlessness. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood. They cure anamia just as food cures hunger. They cured Mrs. Thos. J. McGann, of 17 Lincoln Place, Plainfield, N.J., and they can do as much for any other pale, weak, ailing, bloodless person. "In the spring of 1903 I did my usual house cleaning," says Mrs. McGann, "and soon afterward I began to have the most terrible headaches. My heart would beat so irregularly that it was painful and there came a morning when I could not get up. My doctor said I had anamia and he was surprised that I had continued to live in the condition I was in. I was confined to my bed for nearly two months, the doctor coming every day for the first few weeks, but I did not improve to amount to anything. "Altogether I was sick for nearly two years. I was as weak as a rag, had headaches, irregular heart beats, loss of appetite, cramps in the limbs and was unable to get a good night's sleep. My legs and feet were so swollen that I feared they would burst. "One day, while I was wondering how long I could live, feeling as I did, I received a booklet telling about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I read it and told my husband to get me some of the pills. Before the first box was gone I felt a change for the better. I have taken about twelve boxes and although I was as near the grave as I could be, I now feel as if I had a new lease of life. I have no more headache, the heart beats regularly, my cheeks are pink and I feel ten years younger. I feel that I have been cured very cheaply and I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to lots of my friends." For further information address the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

WASHINGTON AS A CONSTRUCTIVE PATRIOT By KATHERINE POPE Some men support the interests of their country by defending the land they love. Washington was both defender and builder, soldier and statesman. Let us dwell on his work as builder. Naturally conservative, Washington was not in favor of courting trouble with old England; but as acts of English aggression followed one after another, realized submission had ceased to be a virtue. When the first continental congress met, in 1774, he accepted election as delegate, and in company with Patrick Henry set out for Philadelphia. "That congress sat in Carpenter's hall with closed doors, but the great papers that it prepared and issued form a proud part of American history. Those were the papers and that the congress of which Chatham in the house of lords, in his inimitable speech on the removal of troops from Boston, January 20, 1775, said: 'When your lordships look at the papers transmitted to us from America, when you consider their decem, firmness and wisdom, you cannot but respect their cause, and wish to make it your own. For myself I must declare and avow that in all my reading and observation—and it has been my favorite study—I have read Thucydides, and have studied and admired the master statesmen of the world—that for solidity of reasoning, force of sagacity, and wisdom of conclusion, under such a complication of difficult circumstances, no nation or body of men can stand in preference to the general congress at Philadelphia.' The precise part taken by Washington within the closed doors of Carpenter's hall is nowhere recorded, but the testimony of one of its most distinguished members cannot be forgotten. When Patrick Henry returned home from the meeting and was asked whom he considered the greatest man at that congress, he replied: 'If you speak of eloquence, Mr. Rutledge, of South Carolina, is by far the greatest orator; but if you speak of solid information and sound judgment, Col. Washington is unquestionably the greatest man on that floor.' Washington was also delegate to the second continental congress, the one which unanimously elected him commander in chief of the continental forces, and the one where he declared the position a "trust too great for my capacity." To us it is pleasing to compare the modesty that characterized Washington throughout his life with the egotism looked upon as forgivable, essential part of a forceful personality of the present day. The two years lapsing between Cornwallis' surrender and the treaty of peace was a period marked by more distinguished patriotism on the part of Washington and by his political wisdom and foresight. The country was in a most troubled state, officers and men suspicious that the army was bo be disbanded without congress making provision for meeting the just claims of the troops. Both officers and men began to distrust a republican form of government. Matters went so far, an army colonel was sent to communicate with Washington and make suggestion that he assume the title of king and give the country a firm government. The agent met with a severe rebuke; this Washington's answer to the suggestion: "I am at a loss to conceive what part of my conduct could have given encouragement to an address which to me seem big with the greatest mis chief that can befall my country. If I am not deceived in the knowledge of myself, you could not have found a person to whom your schemes are more disagreeable. . . . Let me conjure you, then, if you have any regard for your country, concern for yourself or posterity, or respect for me, to banish these thoughts from your mind, and never communicate, from yourself or anyone else, a sentiment of like nature." The discontent and apprehension continued, a meeting of officers was arranged and there were issued the "Newburg Addresses," intended to arouse the army to resentment. Washington, uninvited, attended the meeting and made an address, in which he declared the claims of the army would not be disregarded, and begged his hearers "to express their utmost horror and detestation of the man who wishes, under any specious pretenses, to overturn the liberties of our country, and who wickedly attempts to open the floodgates of civil discord and deluge our rising empire in blood." The result of his appeal, resolutions were unanimously adopted concurring in the policy he proposed. Shortly before the dissolution of the army Washington addressed a letter to the governors of the states, urging upon them realization of the four things essential to the existence and well-being of the United States: "First, an indissoluble union of the states under one federal head; second, a sacred regard to public justice; third, the adoption of a proper peace establishment; and, fourth, the prevalence of that pacific and friendly disposition among the people of the United States which will induce them to forget their local prejudices and policies, to make those mutual concessions which are requisite to the general prosperity, and, in some instances, to sacrifice their individual advantages to the interest of the community." These he counted "the pillars on which the glorious fabric of our independency and national character must rest." In such perfect sympathy with the idea of conferring greater powers on the federal government, he consented to head the delegates from Virginia to the Philadelphia convention called May 14, 1787, and was unanimously elected president of this convention. It closed September 17, on which date Washington, as one of his biographers phrases it, had the supreme satisfaction of addressing a letter to congress announcing the adoption of the constitution of the United States. To quote directly from the letter: "In all our deliberations on the subject, we kept steadily in our view that which appears to us the greatest interest of every true American—the consolidation of our union—in which is involved our prosperity, our safety, and perhaps our national existence." On the 6th of April, 1789, Washington was declared president of the United States. On the 30th of April, he was inaugurated. His wisdom and firmness carried the duty of state safety through two administrations, though the waters oft were troubled. At the close of the first term he desired to withdraw to private life, but was urged that duty to the country demanded he continue in public service. Jefferson wrote: "The confidence of the whole country is centered in you. North and south will hang together if they have you to hang on." Hamilton used this persuasion: "It is clear that if you continue in office nothing materially mischievous is to be apprehended. If you quit much is to be dreaded. . . . I trust, and I pray God, that you will determine to make a further sacrifice of your tranquility and happiness to the public good." Washington the soldier, to whom proud Cornwallis made surrender, aupeals to the popular fancy. But the people should remember the hero was also "first in peace"—a nation builder. HE WAS DETERMINED TO DIE SUICIDE OF F. R. AVERY, OF PE- ORIA, ILL., BY DROWNING. Following Failure, With Poison, at Aicru, He Stuck His Head In a Shallow Pond at Centerville. St. Louis, Feb. 16.—F. R. Avery, secretary of the Avery Manufacturing Co. of Peoria, Ill., an associate of Rev. G. B. Simmons, who recently committed suicide in Peoria, ended his life. Thursday, at Centerville, a station on the Illinois Central railroad, six miles from East St. Louis. He left a train coming from Cairo, stuck his head into the water of a shallow pond and drowned with his body lying on the bank Avery tried to kill himself Wednesday night at a hotel in Cairo, but was saved by a physician. He afterward escaped from a guard and left Cairo, boarding a morning train for East St. Louis. He did not attract any particular attention on the train, which he left at Centerville. He walked across the track to a pond, broke the thin ice at the edge with his foot, removed his coat and then lay down and stuck his head in the water. Several passengers noted the man's queer actions. They at first thought he was preparing to wash his face, but as the train moved off they saw that he remained prone on the ground. They spoke to the conductor about the incident. The conductor mentioned the matter to Yardmaster Bennett when the train reached East St. Louis at 11 a. m., and he telegraphed to Centerville making inquiries. An answer was received saying that the man's body had been found. Bennett went to Centerville on a switch engine and examined the body. Two notes were found. One was written on the back of a receipt and read: "To My Dear Wife; If I am dead it is not by my own hand. A tough gang have me in bad. F. R. AVERY." The other note was in an envelope addressed to J. B. Bartholomew, Peoria, Ill. The envelope was sealed, but there was no paper inside. The note was scribbled on the inside of the envelope and read: "I am going in the river at St. Louis. February 15. 1906. F. R. AVERY." A - HARD FIGHT WITH FIRE St. Louis Firemen Have a Stubborn and Dangerous Task in the Wholesale Dlstrict. St. Louis, Feb. 16.—Firemen had thrilling experiences Thursday in fighting a fire which destroyed three six-story buildings in the wholesale district on Lucas avenue, ruining the stocks of several factories and wholesale houses and throwing hundreds of women and men out of employment. The financial loss is $170,000. The danger and discomfort of the firemen and salvage corps were increased by the cold, which quickly covered floors and walls with ice. Two were injured and several had narrow escapes from death. The wrecked buildings were occupied by the following firms: No. 810 Lucas avenue, Epstein & Whiser. No. 812 Lucas avenue, A. D. Gross & Co., Samuel Haas, Robbins & Levi, Frank Rosenfeld. No. 814 Lucas avenue, I. Russack & Sons. No. 816 Lucas avenue, M. Kory & Son. IMMIGRANTS IN A WRECK One Killed, Five Seriously Hurt and Others Receive Minor Injuries Leaving Boston. Boston, Feb. 16.—The Pacific express train on the Boston & Albany division of the New York Central system, which left the South Union station for Chicago and other western points via Buffalo at eight o'clock Thursday night, was wrecked in the Huntington avenue yard, about a mile from the terminal. Melke Jobassen, 14 years old, of Stockholm, Sweden, was killed, five were seriously hurt and several others sustained minor injuries. The express was making good headway when it collided side-on with a moving string of empty coaches. The majority of the injured were immigrants going to the western states. ALMOST DIED A'BORNING The Bank of America, of Chicago Incorporated Last December, in Hands of Receiver.

Joseph Nix, the Wesleyan reformer, took 3,845 signatures to the pledge in a nine days' gospel temperance meeting in Bradford, England. kes of Gold es of Greenbacks the most words made in these letters - Grape - Nuts will earn these prizes. 31 Boxes 300 Boxes of For the most up from the Y - I - O - C 331 people will For the most words made up from these letters 331 people will earn these prizes. Around the fireside or about the well-lighted family reading table during the winter evenings the children and grown-ups can play with their wits and see how many words can be made. 20 people making the greatest number of words will each receive a little box containing a $10.00 gold piece. 10 people will each win one box containing a $5.00 gold piece. 300 people will each win a box containing $1.00 in paper money and one person who makes the highest number of words over all contestants will receive a box containing $100.00 in gold. It is really a most fascinating bit of fun to take up the list evening after evening and see how many words can be added. A few rules are necessary for absolute fair play. amateur says: "A man would fail on that," but my dear friend we will dollars to your pennies that the hour will find a man on our brow huskier and with a stronger head and clearer brain than I had on the old diet.

Then after you have been weeks on the Grape-Nuts train write a statement of how you use and how you are now. The simple will interest others and surprise self. We never publish names ex permission, but we often tell them in the newspapers and when ree give the names by private letter. Any word authorized by Webster's dictionary will be counted, but no name of person. Both the singular and plural can be used, as for instance "grape" and "grapes." The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts" may be repeated in the same word. Arrange the words in alphabetical classes, all those beginning with A together and those beginning with E to come under E, etc. When you are writing down the words leave some spaces, in the A, E, and other columns to fill in later as new words come to you, for they will spring into mind every evening. It is almost certain that some contestants will tie with others. In such cases a prize identical in value and character with that offered in that class shall be awarded to each. Each one will be requested to send with the list of words a plainly written letter describing the advantages of Grape-Nuts, but the contestant is not required to purchase a pkg. These letters are not to contain poetry, or fancy flourishes, but simple, truthful statements of fact. For illustration: A person may have experienced some incipient or chronic ails traceable to unwise selection of food that failed to give the body and brain the energy, health and power desired. Seeking better conditions a change in food is made and Grape-Nuts and cream used in place of the former diet. Suppose one quits the meat, fried potatoes, starchy, sticky messes of half-cooked oats or wheat and cuts out the coffee. Try, say, for breakfast, a bit of fruit, a dish of Grape-Nuts and cream, two soft-boiled eggs, a slice of hard toast and a cup of Postum Food Coffee. Some --- --- PRICE, 25 Cts.

Some strokes of good luck are almost as bad as strokes of lightning. Do not judge the ability of a woman's tongue by the size of her mouth. When an honorable man steals a kiss he is never satisfied until he returns it. An old bachelor is fortunate in not having to pose as a model for his sister's children. Love may laugh at locksmiths, but it always frowns on the furniture installment collector. Some good advice: Before calling a man a liar be sure you are right—then use a telephone. EPIGRAMS ESTRAY. Determination never shakes hands with doubt. What a man's wife thinks of him is not far from the truth. It's the lucky man who tells you there is no such thing as luck. There is a remedy for ignorance but none for knowing too much. If bachelors should be taxed then bigamists should receive a pension. A man's greatest inspiration is the knowledge that he needs the money. Geographical names authorized by Webster_will be counted. OLD-WORLD NOTABLES. Maj. Gen. Trotski, who was recently made commander of St. Petersburg, was born on July 26, 1847. Capt. Stubbs, secretary of Liverpool Orphan institution, is one of the few living persons who served on Nelson's flagship Victory. Geza von Fejercary, the recently appointed premier of the Hungarian cabinet, has received almost every decoration his country can bestow. Mme. Loubet, wife of the president of France, has interested herself in the poor of Paris, particularly in the children of the poor and orphans. Mrs. Poulteny Bigelow is a favorite in English society. At Cannes, in London and in the country she is equally popular. Mrs. Bigelow is a moralist—a wittier motif. Archibald Stuwick, formerly locomotive engineer of the Great Northern railroad of England, recently entered his nineteenth year, having joined the road in 1550 when it was a narrow gauge system. After residing in Japan 29 years Prof. Baez has returned to his home at Stuttgart. He was one of the savants imported by the Japanese government with the view of Europeanizing the country. For a quarter of a century he was professor at the Tokio university. Most of the prominent physicians in Japan are his pupils. Successful guessers are applauded by the public as great prophets. amateur says: "A man would faint away on that," but my dear friend we will put dollars to your pennies that the noon hour will find a man on our breakfast huskier and with a stronger heart-beat and clearer working brain than he even had on the old diet. Suppose, if you have never really made a move for absolutely clean health that pushes you along each day with a spring in your step and a reserve vigor in muscle and brain that makes the doing of things a pleasure, you join the army of "plain old common sense" and start in now. Then after you have been 2 or 3 weeks on the Grape-Nuts training you write a statement of how you used to be and how you are now. The simple facts will interest others and surprise yourself. We never publish names except on permission, but we often tell the facts in the newspapers and when requested give the names by private letter. There is plenty of time to get personal experience with Grape-Nuts and write a sensible, truthful letter to be sent in with the list of words, as the contest does not close until April 30th, 1906. So start in as soon as you like to building words, and start in using Grape-Nuts. Cut this statement out and keep the letters Y-1-O-Grape-Nuts before you and when you write your letter you will have some reason to write on the subject "Why I Owe Grape-Nuts." Remember 331 persons will win prizes, which will be awarded in an exact and just manner as soon as the list can be counted after April 30th, 1906. Every contestant will be sent a printed list of names and addresses of winners on application, in order to have proof that the prizes are sent as agreed. The company is well known all over the world for absolute fidelity to its agreements and every single one of the 331 winners may depend on receiving the prize won. Many persons might feel it useless to contest, but when one remembers the great number of prizes—(331) the curiosity of seeing how many words can really be made up evening after evening and the good, natural fun and education in the competition, it seems worth the trial; there is no cost, nothing to lose and a fine opportunity to win one of the many boxes of gold or greenbacks. We make the prediction that someone win a prize of gold or greenbacks, will also win back health and strength worth more to them than a wagon full of money prizes. There are no preliminaries, cut out this statement and go at it, and send in the list and letter before April 30th, 1906, to Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, Battle Creek, Mich., and let your name and address be plainly written.

The Union Transportation Co., of Nashville, Tenn., is the name of the Negro organization which was born to combat the devilish work of Gen. James Crow. The company represents an investment of $25,000, and with 40,000 Colored citizens to ride it is sure of success. A like organization should be gotten together here in Dallas, and the Jim Crow car made to understand that it shall not humiliate the Negro. If the Negro does not offer prejudice and oppression, battle its arrogance and audacious devility will increase until slavery will again be called for as the only measure which can satisfy its insatiate greed.—Dallas Express.

I asked the child did your mother tell you to say that, and she bowed her head "Yes." These are the mothers that are raising children. Col. H. G.
