St. Louis Palladium

ST LOUIS PALLADIUM Vol. XXII. No. 11. S. M. T. M At Paris S. M. T. MEETING S. M. T. MEETING At Paris. Missouri. [Special to The Palladium.] Paris, Mo. Feb. 20—Capt. C. H. Tandy, of St. Louis, past grand master of the U. B. F.'s and S. M. T.'s of Missouri, delivered an address at the Second Baptist church Monday night on "The Negro in America." The church was crowded, many being turned away. Promptly at 8 o'clock p. m. Prof. C. C. Hubbard, principal of schools, rapped for order, and the school chorus sang "Gloria." Prayer was offered by Rev. P. D. Yocum, and the chorus sang "The Earth Is the Lord's." Welcome addresses were delivered by Rev J. H. Downey on behalf of the churches; Prof. G. A. Donaldson, the schools, and Hen. R. Vaughn on behalf of the lodges and temples. Prof. Hubbard, in a few well-chosen words, introduced the speaker of the Capt. C. H. evening, Capt. C. H. Tandy. He was received with hearty applause. Capt. Tandy hastily reviewed the history of the race, and predicted greater things for the future. He showed conclusively that the Negro had played an important part in all the battles fought by this country, from the death of Crispus Attucks to the battle of San Juan. He advised the young men to secure property, and to guard inviolable their rights. He showed the extent to which the republican party in this state was dependent upon the 46,000 votes cast by the Negroes of Missouri; how the vote of 46,000 Negroes made it possible for Missouri to cast her electoral vote for Theodore Roosevelt, and of how, in spite of that fact, the Negroes had been repudiated by the republican party, and refused at the hands of the party, whose triumph they had Let There Be Light! Several ladies narrowly escaped injury in ascending and descending the stairway at the Douglass building last week on account of the insufficient light furnished in the hallway. This condition should be remedied at once, before some serious accident happens. Douglass hall is popular with the public, and to retain that popularity the safety and convenience of the public must be taken into consideration by its management. 2 NIGHT BROWN-OWN AMATEUR M 17 — FUN M Douglass Hall, MAR WORLD'S FAIR BAND.

If You Are Pleased Tell Your Friends made possible, the janitorship at the state capitol. He made an impassioned plea for the men of the race to stand up for their rights, and demand recognition at the hands of the party, and to cast their votes for those things which benefited their people, and with that party which gives proper recognition to his race He bitterly denounced Mr. Thomas Akins for withdrawing his recommendations of Dr. Hill for a member of the prison board of examiners because he was a Negro. He condemned the Missouri Republican club for inviting the same enemy of the race to address its members, declaring that he (Mr. Akins) had no love for the race. His words on "unity" were striking. His message to the U. B. F.'s and S. M. T.'s was inspir- I. TANDY ing and gratifying. His tribute to Prof. Hubbard as a young man of sobriety, energy and thrift, who delights to serve his people, was a glowing one; but when he told of how, at the World's fair, on the celebration of Lincoln Institute day, he proved himself to be the best orator on the programme, he was cheered. Mrs. Hattle Williams, of St. Louis, Mo., vice-grand princess of the S. M. T.'s of Missouri, also delivered an excellent address. Her pleasing counsel was given in a masterly manner, and sank deep into the hearts of her hearers. Her address was received with marked attention and delight. Sister Williams will long be remembered by the people of Paris. A banquet was tendered the visitors at the new hall of the U. B. F.'s. The occasion will ever be remembered and cherished. Death of Mrs. Mattie Thomas. Mrs. Mattie Thomas of 2028 Carr street, died January 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 Home Circle society, which organization had charge of the funeral. Peace be until the ashes of this good woman. LIGHTS 2 EENS-RHODA MINSTRELS. TAKERS 17 RCH 8, 9, '06. Joe and 85c. G. OWENS, See. F. E. RHODA, Treas M. PRIVILEGES FOR SALE. ST. LOUIS.

The little so-called doctor, after taking a passing shot at the Palladium man, is resting on his past record, and is now wondering whether he has a character or reputation. Oh wait, oh wait; the Palladium man has a detective in Chattanooga, Tenn. Mrs. King Cannon, of 4355 Maffitt avenue, went to Jefferson City last Saturday, being called there on account of the illness of her-son, Clarence, who was attending Lincoln Institute. She returned the same day and brought her son with her. We hope he will soon recover. Happy only six days and married. Three wives, and all are dead. This is what a man stated to a lady. She was surprised, and asked how could that be. He said: "Well, the day that I married them I was very happy; and the day they died I was the most happy of all the days that ever I lived. Don't you think so, too?" BILL DAD. One of the agents of the Eagle was talking to and urging a lady to take the Eagle. She said: "I am taking the Palladium now." "Oh," said the agent, "the Eagle is a better paper than the Palladium." "Oh," said the lady, "I am the judge of that. The SLINK left. Better keep on your own side, or we will skin the whole staff. The Ministers' Interdenominational union met at an appropriate hour, and a very interesting time was had. Rev. Venable's paper of the previous meeting was the gist of discussion. Rev. Parr presided, and proved - an able chairman by his rulings in the free discussion of Rev. Venable's paper. In fixing the date for the mass meeting the 25th of March was chosen, but Rev. B. W. Steward made a strong plea for a change of dates, and through the influence of our good brother, whose plea was made almost with tears in his eyes, the date was changed to the 22d of April. A strange man from Mephis said that the K. of P's had this date, and he did not think that would be an appropriate date, as he himself was a K. of P. Another reverend gentleman said that members of his church would leave the church to go to their lodge meetings. This brought the Palladium man to his feet. Some so-called minister arose and stated that he would attend the K. of P. meetings rather than the church. At this the Palladium man said: "This is what Rev. Venable's paper stated: 'Professed Christians Indulging in Worldly Pleasures.'" Many ministers agreed with the Palladium man in his remarks. God grant that the ministers of Christ will get out of the way of sinners and work for God, their master. Rev. PARR, Chairman. REV. J. L. COHON, Secretary. THE POLICE AND NEGRO ROUNDERS. For the past two months the Negro kafers, rounders and scoundrels have been plying their hellish work of decoying the unsophisticated school-girls in their net. Since Detective Gordon was dismissed these chaps have become bold, and they stand on the streets like hawks watching for their chance. We trust that Chief Desmond will put someone to watch and in due time to take them to the four courts. The only way that this can be ended is to take the girl and the man, or boy. We will give the names of the parties, and where they live. After school hours the sights can be seen from Fifteenth street to Jefferson avenue, and north of Jefferson avenue. All along the line the telephones are engaged by these upstart girls telephoning. We shall give the names of the different places. We ask the police force, for the good of our people, to give us some protection from these hoodlums, girls, boys, men and confidence women. Put some detective on the force who will rid our race of these evils. J. W. W. The Methodist Union The Methodist union met at St. Paul's church. Rev. B. W. Sttward was in the chair. On account of the lateness of the hour, much business was passed. The routine work was taken up. Rev. W. C. Williams read his paper on "Finance," which was very ably handled. The paper was the cause of much discussion. Rev. Williams is a young man, and will be felt at an early period in the A. M. E. church. Every brother had a talk on the paper, but no criticism was offered; only praise was given to the author for his able effort. President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers is of the opinion that there will be a strike. A. B.

Monrovia Club's Ball at Douglass Hall, Thursday Evening, February 22, 1906. The Monrovia club gave one of the most pleasant and enjoyable balls ever held in St. Louis. The hall was beautifully decorated in yellow and blue. At 9:30 the dancing began, and all seemed to enjoy themselves. We have seen many entertainments given under the call of full dress, but at no time was there a more complete compliance to that call. Every gentleman was in full dress, and each gentleman came in a carriage with his lady. We could not if we tried give a description of the different dresses worn by the ladies. The dinner table was under the care of Mr. Eugene Lewis, assisted by Mr. M. Washington, Mr. James Williams, Harrison Overall, George Dora, Ed Garrett and Allen Johnson. The table was decorated with lights, with yellow and blue shades, and the doors were thrown open at 12 o'clock, just after one of the most successful grand marches we ever witnessed. As we looked on we noticed many whom we knew, and their dresses were faultless. Among them were: Miss Mary Crawford, of Kirkwood, Mo., black spangled net over plush silk; Mrs. Clem Jackson, blue crepe de chine; Mrs. Nannie Walton, crepe de chine, American beauty roses; Mrs. Grinstead, French shalla, muslin de chene; Mrs. Cook, brown spangled silk, carnations and roses; Miss Victoria Wallace, cream lace over blue velvet, yellow roses; Miss Mabel Rogers, blue lace over silk, American beauty roses; Miss M.

W. Cass, white mulle; Mrs. Dennis Haynes, spangled braid over white silk; Miss Areana Smith, white pique lace insertion, American beauty roses. The following gentlemen were present: Walter Paton, H. Brockman, George Ritchie, W. Dickson, Oscar Ficklin, J. A. K. Ficklin, T. J. Furnace, F. Haines, H. Lanford, W. Green, J. Williams, A. Mason, C. Clark, O. Finley, M. McGill, B.

Hammond, as Sis Hopkins; Misses Chlotilde Hudlin, as the Fisher Maiden; Mildred Ponder, as Minnehaha; Birdie Swift, as Fencing Girl; Sarah J. Brown, as Indian Girl; Messrs.

GOOD-BY, MUSHROOMS. Kissing Wilkinson Fined Fifty Dollars and Given Six Months in the Workhouse. Kising is a luxury, leastwise Edward alias "Kissing" Wilkinson found out as much when he was fined $50 and given six months in the workhouse for kissing a white woman. The Big Mushroom Negroes of St Louis received a severe setback a few days ago when Edward Wilkinson, one of their members, was fined and sentenced to the workhouse for kissing a white waitress. Wilkinson's case proves conclusively the past arguments of the Palladium, that the Big Negro is of no account whatever to his race. He is forever trying to get over the fence and "pesticate" with the white folks. The Big Negro is a continual menace to the peace and prosperity of his race. In St Louis the Big Nego Mushrooms are always hopping about, here and there, doing first one and then another thing to attract attention and arouse sentiment. First, they are building an Egyptian Club. Sending a committee down to Thos. Akins to absorb insults in the Dr. Hill case. Running for a place on the Board of Education (and don't own a foot of land or have a child in school). 'Reforming the race (?) when they ought to be attending a school for the development of morality. Getting signers for a petition to have a preacher moved, because he wouldn't let them rob the church. These and other things of a like character are the chief doings of the Negro Mushrooms. But let us go back to Kissig Wilkinson. The white daily papers said that Wilkinson was quite a social leader among the Negroes of the city. That is a mistake. He is a leader only among the Big Mushrooms. The Mushrooms showed their loyalty by turning out in force and testifying for Wilkinson, but their testimony didn't count. The Palladium is thoroughly disgusted with the doings of these Mushrooms, and from this time on we intend to turn the X-ray on every Mushroom Negro that springs up with a dazzling proposition. So the Big Negroes with their Mushroom projects had better shiny out to another hunting ground. A term in the workhouse is calculated to break the back of the limberest Mushroom Coon in town. It is such "things" that get the honest, well-meaning Negro into trouble. It is such as they who "haw haw'" on the streets, smoke ropes, stare at white women, and lie awake nights wondering what the Negro race will do when they die. SNOOKS. VERY SICK. Mr. P. Walton, of 4121 Lexington avenue, is very sick. He is an old soldier—one of the defenders of our country. We should doff our hats to all men who risked their lives in our behalf.

After the Reception and Wedding Breakfast the Bride and Bride- groom Seek Seclusion at the Country Home of a Friend—A Quiet Sunday. Washington, Feb. 19.—Standing on the spot in the East room of the White House, where, 32 years ago, Nellie Grant plighted her troth to Algernon Sartoris, Alice Lee Roosevelt, eldest daughter of Theodore Roosevelt, twenty-sixth president of the United States, and Nicholas Longworth, representative in congress from the First district of Ohio, were joined in the bonds of holy wedlock, shortly after noon, Saturday, by Rt. Rev. Henry Y. Satterlee, Episcopal bishop of Washington, of which denomination the bride is a communlanc, in the presence of an assemblage such as is rarely seen in the national capital. There were present as guests not only the most eminent representatives of the American government, but the personal commissioners of the kings and potentates of the various powers of the civilized world. "Brightly dawned the wedding day," and it seemed almost as if June, jealous of being cheated out of a conspicuous bride, had pushed her way in, with her glorious sunshine but slightly chilled by the February atmosphere, so that those who gathered, through curiosity, about the vicinity of the White House, suffered little inconvenience from cold, while from mouth to mouth was passed the well-known saying: "Happy is the bride whom the sun shines on." The Great East Room. The great East room of the White House never presented a more beautiful and imposing scene. Decorated in exquisite taste with flowers, palms and ferns, upon which the noonday sun shone with dazzling brightness, it was indeed a bower of beauty. The brilliant uniforms of the military and diplomatic guests afforded an effective foli for the magnificent costumes of the feminine contingent, who appeared to have exhausted the modiste's art in preparation for this midday function. The picture was flawless, and every unit of the animated group seemed to be imbued with the idea of lending brightness and joycusness to an event that was to be the culmination of a true, and ardent courtship. The Improvised Altar. At the great center windows, directly opposite the main entrance of the room, and overlooking the east terrace, a beautiful floral bower had been contrived, which partially inclosed a semicircular platform raised 12 inches above the floor level, and covered with rugs of elegant design. The platform was backed with palms, fringed at the base with Astilbe Japonica and dracaena sanderil, flanked by gorgeous Easterilis. Above was a garlanding of snailax and asparagus, in which 'nested beautiful tridal roses, forming an exquisite setting for the impressive ring service of the Episcopal ritual which was said with all the solemnity of a cathedral ceremonial. There Was No Delay. The bride did not keep her guests waiting. When the hour of noon arrived the hum of the chattering host, as if by common consent died away, and was succeeded by an almost painful hush of expectancy. This, however, was soon broken, as at 12:04 Mrs. Roosevelt, on the arm of her eldest son, Theodore, Jr., descended the main staircase and entered the East room, proceeded by Maj. Charles McCawley and other military aids. She was escorted to a position on the left side of the platform reserved for the bride's family. Designated members of the bridegroom's family, including his mother and sisters, already had taken their places on the right side of the platform. Mrs. Roosevelt wore a superb gown, richly designed of heavy cream-colored brocade, on which were figures of blue and brown interlaced with threads of gold. The gown was made in princess style, with a long train of brocaded material. She wore diamond ornaments. The Bridegroom. Two or three minutes after the entrance of Mrs. Roosevelt the bridegroom, Mr. Longworth, accompanied by his best man, Mr. Thomas Nelson Perkins, of Boston, descended the main staircase, and, entering the East Room, took his place at the foot of the plafter into await the bride. Preceded by the ushers, the president and the dalnty bride, resting her hand lightly within his left arm, proceeded to the East room, the orchestra rendering the inspiring march from Tannhauser. A Beautiful Bride. Miss Roosevelt never looked better. The classic beauty of her face and figure were accentuated by her exquisite attire and by her surroundings. Her bridal dress was a magnificent creation of heavy white satin, Why No Bridesmaids. Washington, Feb. 19.—When Miss Roosevelt came to count up her girl friends from which to select bridesmaids she found there were so many that the task would be a difficult one. As she didn't wish to cause any heartaches she concluded to have none. Fire at Rutland, Vermont. Rutland, Vt., Feb. 19.—Six large blocks in the business section of the city, occupied by nearly a score of firms and many smaller tenants, were destroyed by fire. The loss is estimated at three-quarters of a million dollars. point lace, chiffon, filmy tulle and silver brocade. The material from which the gown was developed was manufactured especially for Miss Roosevelt, and the design was destroyed as soon as the necessary amount of material for the dress was made. The gown had a long court train of superb silver brocade. The bedside was made high, without a collar, was trimmed with rare old point lace, and the elbow sleeves were finished with the same filmy material. The sleeves just met the long white gloves. A voluminous tulle veil, almost completely enveloping the slender, graceful figure, was held in place by dainty clusters of orange blossoms. The slippers were fashioned from silver brocade, and instead of buckles, tulle bows were worn, with tiny clusters of orange flowers. Wore the Bridegroom's Gift. The only jewels worn by the bride was the superb diamond necklace, which was the gift of the bridegroom. Over her left arm Miss Roosevelt carried a beautiful shower bouquet of the rarest and daintest white orchids procurable. The delicate blossoms were arranged in cascade form, the stems tied with white chiffon satin ribbon with long bows. The ushers, who were in couples, separated as they reached the platform, and the president passed through the two lines, and presented his daughter to the waiting bridegroom, who stepped forward to receive her. Together they ascended the platform, where Bishop Satterlee, in the imposing robes of his office, already was standing. An Auspicious Moment. It was one of the most auspicious moments in the history of the White House. The guests seemed scarely to breathe, so intent were they to catch every syllable of the beautiful service. In low, yet resonant tones, Bishop Satterlee began. At the conclusion of the responses by the bride and groom, the venerable bishop inquired, in a tone that filled the great room: Gave the Bride Away. "Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?" The president of the United States ascended the platform, and, taking his daughter's right hand, placed it in that of the bridegroom. Thus he gave the bride away to the man of her choice, and by the ring, which, an instant later, the bridegroom placed on the fourth finger of the right hand, she became Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, and the venerable prelate solemnly pronounced their husband and wife. Wedding Guests Received. At the conclusion of the wedding, the assembled guests were received by Mr. and Mrs. Longworth on the platform and beneath the floral bower where their hands and hearts were joined forever. They were showered with congratulations. The guests then were received in the Blue room by President and Mrs. Roosevelt. After the informal receptions, the bridal breakfast was served, in buffet form, in the state and private dining rooms. Bridal Pair Leaves White House. Shortly after four o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Longworth left the White House by the south entrance, thereby avoiding a large and curious throng, which had assembled in front of the mansion. Alone, they entered a large automobile and were driven rapidly away. They went, it is understood, to the country home of John R. McLean, "Friendship," a few miles from the heart of Washington, on the Tenallytown road. Passed a Quiet Sunday. Washington, Feb. 19.—Representative and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, who were married at the White House Saturday, passed the day very quiet at "Friendship," the country home of John R. McLean at Tennallytown, which they are making their temporary headquarters. The weather was pleasant most of the day and the couple took a stroll around the beautiful grounds surrounding the place. The gates of the grounds were closed during the day, and it was said at the house there had not been any callers. Tampa, Fla., Feb. 21.—Representative and Mrs. Longworth arrived here at 10:35 o'clock Tuesday evening on the private car Elysian, and proceeded immediately to Port Tampa, there boarding a steamer for Havana to spend part of their honeymoon in Cuba. At the city station a large crowd gathered, and the Cuban consul, F. F.

At Tampa Bay station the hotel orchestra gave the couple a serenade, and the train was boarded by E. W.

Cost of the Seaboard Air line, who also are en route to Cuba. Sounded As If She Meant It. Washington, Feb. 20.—In making the responses at her marriage, Saturday, the bride answered promptly and without any trace of nervousness. When she said "I will," after the injunction to "obey," she said it like a Roosevelt—as if she meant it. Prominent People Congratulate.

ON APPROVIAL NEGRO NEWSPAPERS OF THE UNITED STATES. 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 Kansas, Nebraska, Maryland and Published in the south.....101 Published in the west.....44 Published in the east.....96 Total .....171 And yet there are what are called political and pocket newspapers. We have about 20 of them that last sometimes a year. The whites are flooded down with them. Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side ESTABLISHED 12 YEARS DO NOT equipment, sundry big free Sundry C 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 daily 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.

Happenings in Missouri. Testimony Against Standard. That a letter addressed to the Standard oil company, St. Louis, was answered by the Waters-Pierce oil company; that a salesman selling products of both the Standard and the Waters-Pierce oil companies received his salary from the latter; that an official of the Republic oil company, at a meeting held in Cleveland, hinted at the identity of that company, and that a Missouri salesman for the Waters-Pierce oil company never had as a competitor an agent for the Standard oil company, were facts testified to at the hearing of the ouster proceedings of the state of Missouri against the Standard, Waters-Pierce and Republic oil companies. The hearing was held before Special Commissioner Robert A. Anthony at St. Louis. The Tax Board Complete. By adding the name of J. H. Bothwell of Sedalia to the tax revision commission, Governor Folk has completed the personnel of the commission. They will be F. N. Judson, M. F. Cruenden and E. C. Crow, St. Louis; Isador Loeb, professor of law in the state university at Columbia; W. M. Williams of Boonville; H. S. Hadley, attorney general of Jefferson City, and J. H. Bothwell of Sedalia. This commission is to receive no compensation and will prepare recommendations and suggestions on the revenue laws of the state, the main object of which will be to eliminate personal property from taxation for state purposes and leave it subject to local taxation. County Court Enjoined. In the circuit court at Springfield Judge Neville has rendered a decision for the plaintiff in the injunction proceedings in which T. B. Holland and about 100 other taxpayers of the county seek to prevent the three judges of the county court from purchasing a site for a new court house. A site was selected in the summer of 1904 on which the county court wished to erect a new court house. Four thousand dollars was paid on the property, leaving a balance of $7,000 yet to pay. Several taxpayers immediately asked an injunction on the grounds that the judges were exceeding their authority. The case has been in the court for the last two years. A Depot in Springfield. The board of appraisers appointed by Judge Neville, of the circuit court, to determine the value of the Swetzer property on which the Missouri Pacific plans to build its new depot in Springfield has reported to the court that the property was worth $18,200. The property is located in the business part of town and is only three blocks from the public square. The Missouri Pacific is now building into Springfield from Crane, where the line connects with the White River road. To Wholesale Electricity. 10 Wholesale Electricity. General H. W. Standish, of Grand Falls, is securing signatures to a petition that will be presented to congress asking that the James and White rivers be declared unnavigable above Cotter, Ark. Mr. Standish owns large tracts along these two rivers, and he proposes to dam and tunnel the rivers so that their immense power may be used for making electricity, which will be furnished all over southwest Missouri and northern Arkansas. Freight Car and Contents Burned. A Wabash freight car containing valuable merchandise was burned at Centralia. The fire was caused by a lighted lantern being taken into the car where there were several cans of gasoline. Brakeman Riley was covered from head to foot with burning gasoline, but escaped with but slight burns. A Missouri Ex-Editor Dend. John F. Jordan died at his home in Galatin of pneumonia. He was born in Davies county and lived more than 20 years at Jamesport, where he published a paper in the early '80s. He was later president of a bank and mayor of the city. In 1894 he purchased the Gallatin Democrat and was its publisher until 1897. Missouri Couple Married 56 Years. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson Busey have celebrated their fifty-sixth wedding anniversary at their home in Memphis. They were married in 1850 and are among the old settlers of Scotland county. Mrs. Busey prepared the anniversary dinner, to which a number of their friends were invited. Mr. Wellborn has introduced a bill in the house of representatives at Washington, creating a new judicial district in Missouri, to be known as the northern. The bill differs materially from the measure of the same effect introduced early in the session by Representative Murphy. Five Horses Burned in Barn. The Kreiger-Klumpp Ice and Beer company's big horse and vehicle barn at Rich Hill has burned to the ground, enailing a loss of $5,000, with small insurance. Five very valuable horses were burned to death, together with drays, wagons, feed, etc. Two Appointments by Gov. Folk. Governor Folk has appointed James D. Thompson, of Maitland, collector of revenue for Holton county, and Lee R. Biggs, of Memphis, school commissioner for Scotland county. To Prosecute Mine Owners. Prosecuting Attorney W. N. Andrews complying with an order from Secretary of State Swanger, has filed 272 informations against mine operators in the Carthage district, charging a failure to comply with the law in making reports to the state department. Nearly all the smaller companies are affected. The fine for failure to comply with the provisions of this law governing corporations is $1,000, with an additional penalty of $1,000 a month for each subsequent month after the report is due and unfiled. If prosecution is pushed many of the operators will be bankrupted. This is the largest number of cases ever filed at one term in Jasper county. Democratic Editors Meet April 13. The democratic editors of Missouri will hold their annual meeting and banquet at the Midland hotel at Kansas City on April 13, the anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson. The executive committee of the Democratic State Press association held a meeting to make arrangements. At the banquet Senator W. J. Stone will speak, as will also Senator Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas. Gov. Folk has promised to be one of the speakers. Gov. Johnson, of Minnesota, and Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, will be asked to attend. Bought a Lincoln Picture. Bought a Lincoln Picture. The state commission, consisting of Governor Folk, Secretary of State Swanger, Auditor Wilder and Treasurer Gmelich, have purchased a life size oil painting of Abraham Lincoln, which will be hung on the walls of the house of representatives. The price was $1,700. Some time ago the commission purchased a picture of William McKinley and it is now negotiating for a picture of James A. Garfield. These purchases were made under a resolution of the last house authorizing the purchase of the pictures of martyred presidents. Sixty Years on One Farm: Sixty Years on One Farm. Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Young have celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage at their home, six miles south of Lexington. Mr. Young was married to Miss Permelia Lankford February 13, 1846, by the Rev. Robert D. Morrow. Six children were born to them, all of whom are living. Mr. Young has been a member of the Presbyterian church 65 years and has been an elder in the church for 45 years. He and his wife have lived all their married life on one farm. Cooper County Wants Electric Road Steps have recently been taken which will probably lead to the building of an electric railway system in Cooper county. A mass meeting of the citizens and business men in the eastern half of the county has been held at Prairie Home. Several router are proposed, one of which is from Lupus via Prairie Home, Jamestown Bunceton, and points west of Sedalla making a line 50 miles in length. Clinton Bond Issue Carried. Clinton has voted overwhelmingly to issue bonds to the amount of $100,000 to construct municipal lighting and water plants. The proposition was to issue bonds to the amount of $70,000 to construct a water works plant, and to the amount of $20,000 to construct an electric light plant. About 850 votes were cast, and the opponents of municipal ownership managed to poll 39 votes. Benton City Has a Bank. A number of business men and farmers of Audrian county have started a bank at Benton City, with a capital stock of $10,000. J. J. F. Johnson is president, and C. A. James, cashier. A bank with $10,000 capital will also be opened at Hawkpoint, on the Burlington cutoff, in Lincoln county. Montgomery to Have Waterworks. Montgomery is to have an excellent system of waterworks at a minimum cost. A standpipe 100 feet high is being erected over the city artesian well at a cost of $5,000, the town having voted a bonded debt of $5,500 for this purpose. A large light is to be placed on the mammoth structure. Six-Story Building at Webb City. A meeting has been held at Webb City and a stock company formed which purchased three lots and will erect a six-story building to cost $100,000. The building will be fire-proof, equipped with elevators and all modern conveniences. The Blanton Case Dismissed. Judge Henry T. Reed, has granted the demurrer to the evidence which was presented by the defense in the charge of conspiracy in the location of postoffice sites against Charles L. Blanton, an employee of the treasury department, and the case was dismissed. Railroad Wins Damage Suit. In the $10,000 damage suit of Charles Maggard, of Rich Hill, against the Kansas City Southern railway company, which has been on trial in the circuit court, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the railroad company. Killed by Falling Tree. Tempel Page, aged 35, a prominent farmer and stock man near Higginsville, was killed near his home while at work with other men falling trees.

They ought to be thrown out of the church. They are always nagging at something, like a puppy. On account of the weather being so changable, and Colored 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 getting 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 has been sent to the senate for confirmation, and it seems 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? Our Newspaper Girl. Miss Ella Rucks, of 2218 Morgan street, was born in the year of 1889, in the state of Mississippi She is a scholar of the Demas school. She is one of the many who do not attend the Jim Crow skating ring. Miss Rucks is of a sweet disposition, apt and quite intelligent. We believe that she will do well in the newspaper business. Ladies and gentlemen who wish the prosperity of your race, help this young girl, that she may be an honorable, good business girl. We want other agents. Miss Rucks, last Saturday, sold forty copies of the St. Louis Palladium, and she reported on Saturday night and Sunday at 12 o'clock. Answers to Some Letters A. W.—I admit to most all you say, yet I am sure things would be better. Let us reason together. A little Colored girl on Cozens avenue goes to the Jim Crow Rink three times a week and to the mourners bench three times a week. H—is full of such mothers' and fathers' that will permit such. A. W.—We must look on the bright side of this world's people. Do not become a woman or man hater. Mascot—Our guess was right, but your mule is a beauty. Little Breeches likes to skate as well as ride the mule, but the school girls eye him, as a very little man in principle. The Baptist Alliance. The alliance met at Tabernacle Baptist church, and its members were somewhat late in meeting the Interdenominational union, which met at Rev. Gillum's church. The late appearance of the Baptist brethren caused some comment as to the cause of their delay. Someone suggested that they were holding close communion. The Palladium man said: "If that be true we hope that the time will come when all Christians will meet and commune, and walk together as servants of the Lord." The alliance had many reports, which they passed upon, and much good was had from the discussions. This alliance meets every Monday at the Tabernacle church, at 10 a. m. HAS RETURNED. Mrs. Hattie Williams, W. P., of Elizabeth Temple, No. 12, has returned from a trip to Paris. She went on business. Read the account in another column. The convention and mass meeting of the State Progressive Spiritualists' Association of Missouri, held at their temple, 3015 Pine street, February 21-22, was indeed one of the most instructive meetings the writer has had the pleasure of attending. Thursday afternoon's session was conducted by the First Colored Spiritualists' society, of St. Louis. Mrs. Nelson Armstead, president of the society, and Mrs. Sarah Anderson gave some spirit messages, which were well received, and convincing in every respect. Prof. J. B. Bates' address, "Spiritualism and My People," was in itself a masterpiece, and plainly showed to the audience that he was thoroughly acquainted with his subject The Armstead quartet, composed of Armstead, Evans, Martin and Scott, acquitted themselves creditably, particularly in the medley, "Bright Angels. Help Us." Too much praise can not be given Mrs. Emma Jewel, whose recitation, "I Shall Be Satisfied," held her listeners spellbound. Mrs. Lillie B. Mason, as pianist accompanist, rendered "Spring Song," and Nearer, My God, to Thee," with variations, in her usual excellent manner. PROGRAMME OF UNION ME- MORIAL EPWORTH LEAGUE.

The attendance at First Baptist church last Sunday morning and evening was unusually large, the rush was no doubt due to the recent newspaper falsehoods. The regular monthly business meeting of the church will take place next Monday evening. Important business will be transacted and every member should be at their post of duty, and not leave the affairs of the church in the hands of evil-minded and degenerate people. The ordination service was completed at First Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon, Rev. R. H. Cole preached a very able sermon to the deacons which was received with hearty Amens by a well-filled house, and after the laying on of hands by the Council, Deacon Pettiford, of the Central Baptist church, in a few well chosen remarks extended the hand of fellowship to the candidates. Brother Thomas Richardson is gradually improving in health and will soon be among his friends again. The Pleasant Work's club will give a Dumb wedding, February 28th, at the residence of Mr. and M. Thos. Richardson, 2824 Olive stree for the benefit of the church. Adm inion 10 cents Sacred Concern Prof. Arthur D. Langston spoke on the subject, "Opinions" at the sacred concert Sunday afternoon. His remarks were frequently applauded by a large and very appreciative audience. Miss Vella Crawfords's solo was well received, and she was encored several times. The improvement in the music rendered by Prof. Blue's concert band is noticeable. While giving eminent satisfaction at the beginning of the series of concerts, constant and intelligent rehearsing has brought the band up to such a standard of excellence that it compares favorably with any concert band in the country. Great credit is reflected on Prof. Blue, the efficient leader and teacher of the band, and upon Mr. James W. Grant, the promoter of this series of concerts, who, in the face of innumerable obstacles and hindrances, has persevered until his efforts are now crowned with such noteworthy success. All hall to the man who feels that he is right, and then goes ahead! WEBSTER GROVES The sad and impressive funeral of Miss Blanche Isabelle Hall, who died after a lingering illness, took place on Wednesday, February 14. She was laid to rest at St. Peter's cemetery. She departed this life on Saturday, February 10, at 5:20 p. m. She was one of the most popular young ladies of Webster, and was beloved by all who knew her. The floral decorations were many and elaborate. She leaves to mourn her loss her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wesley H. Hall, and her only sister, Goldie C. Hall. Our sympathy is with the bereaved family. We are glad to see Miss Sarah Simms out again. KIRKWOOD NOTES. Mr. and Mrs. Higgins are both confined to their beds. Mr. N. Bryant is real sick at this writing. A wedding suit; a trousseau— The clothes of man and wife. A divorce suit; folks will do so— The close of wedded life. $500 Reward! The above amount will be paid to anyone if it can be proven that the White Cross Medical Service, which gives to the entire family the services of a competent physician for one dollar per year, is not the largest service in the world, comprising, as it does, all the latest electrical, surgical and mechanical appliances. The largest X-ray coil in the world, capable of giving patients a thorough examination, and makes a photograph of the internal organs in five seconds. It is also used to cure obstinate cancers and tumors. The large Finsen light, famous in Copenhagen, Denmark, for its cure of consumption and all lung diseases. The electrical department is replete with all the latest Static Electrical Machines, which perform such wonderful cures in Rheumatism, Asthma, Lumbago, Sciatica, and all joint diseases, and instantly stops all pain. It cures in a short time all cases of paralysis and nervous diseases of men and women. A special department for the treatment of all female diseases, curing many patients pronounced incurable by other physicians. Department of men's diseases is specially constructed as to privacy. All chronic, nervous and special diseases are cured by our painless method. Private diseases of men given special attention. These are but a few of the many advantages of the White Cross Medical Service. Piles, fistula and all diseases of the rectum are cured by a painless method. No knife, no cautery, no time lost from work—in fact, a thoroughly painless cure of the most dreaded diseases. In conclusion, we ask all the readers of this grand paper to come and inspect this up-to-date medical service at a cost of only one dollar per year for medical services to the whole family, at your home, in case of sickness or accident. Join the service to-day. Sickness comes to every family. Drop a postal to our representative, J. H. Mayes, the U. S. Ins. Man, 1309 Merchant street, who will call and explain fully. Remember, you get a doctor to your home in case of any disease or accident for one dollar the whole year for the whole family. Telephone, Main 1886. WHITE CROSS MEDICAL SERVICE. Lincoln Institute Notes. Appropriate exercises commemorating the life and works of the great emancipator, Lincoln, and given under the auspices of the senior class, were held in the adutorium, and heartily enjoyed by an appreciative audience. Proceeds for the benefit of the Athletic association. The Sunshine circle celebrated Douglass day with an excellent programme, including quotations from the speeches of this illustrious hero, and addresses by President Allen and Miss Fredrika Sprague, granddaughter of Douglass. The valentine party was a complete success, and afforded an evening of innocent amusement to all who attended it. One of the most enjoyable and instructive features of daily life in the institution is the practice inaugurated by President Allen of calling forth from the students assembled at dinner items of interest gleaned from the daily papers and current magazines. This process occurs daily, immediately after the dinner, and is attended by many good results. We predict that when these students have established homes of their own the effects will still remain as salutary and potent influences in keeping down the pernicious habit of gossiping at the table and elsewhere, and in stimulating a desire to store the mind with useful ideas. The end of the second term is rapidly approaching, and students are losing no time from their work. It is this daily and hourly discipline of work, industrial or literary, or both, that in the end produces the efficient man and woman. V. M. C. A. NOTES. International Secretary J. E. Moorland will be with us February 27th. He will meet the Board of Directors in a special conference at 8 p. m. Arrangements are being made to have him give his illustrated lantern talk on Association work. He will probably speak in one of the churches.

We have found a little town out in eastern Missouri known as St. Clair, which is not represented in anything at all, but the ladies 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 making 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 viceprincess; Mrs. Binnie Murray, as secretary; Mrs. Lee Jenerly, as treasurer; Mrs. L. Jackson, as chaplain; Mrs. Fannie Ewing, chairman of the board of trustees; Mrs. Hinkle, as chairman of visiting board; Mrs. A. Inge, inside gatekeeper; Miss Winnie Ewin Joshua, Mrs. Lillie 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 interested in the club. Now, ladies, you all call your meeting together once a week, and try and keep your club together, and let us know when you can have a big meeting in the school or church, 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 feel like taking part with us as sisters and brothers of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. We promise 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. SCISSORS ARE GREATER THAN THE BRAIN. This week we present to our contemporary, a pair of scissors. Where the brain and mind has become inactive on account of close confinement, we thought the scissors would aid the old man in cutting from the Globe-Democrat and the St. Louis Mirror. When Negro's cannot say anything about their own men, they had better continue to clip. ROOMS FOR RENT Furnished rooms for Colored gentlemen; $1 per week; 807½ North Twentieth street.

Pastors of the different churches should know something about men who claim to be Evangelists, and ministers of the gospel should be dignified to a certain degree. Too much levity in a minister makes him appear common and illbred. The Hon. W. T. Vernon, ex-minister, and who will soon be ex-president of Quindara college, will soon be register and sign our money in Washington, and will be known as a man who got to the department through many charges and specifications alleged against him. We hope his life will be changed while there. Go to 113 North Fifteenth street, "The Cozy," to take your meals. We were surprised to see a half bushel of mashed potatoes, turnips, sweet potatoes, fruits of all kinds by the bushel, cooked and ready for use. Meats, such as roast pork, beef, turkey, chicken and all the pies you can mention, ready to make a hungry man happy. All these things are prepared in a small apartment by the little Chicago man, who says: "When you eat at my place, it is just like eating at home." Ifland—He is great who can do what he wishes; he is wise who wishes to do what he can. Raymond—Inveterate, organic mistrust is always the result of bad education or ignorance. NOTICE!

All are welcome. Come and hear the beautiful addresses on the History of the Flag. If 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 in Washington, 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 Washington, D. C., he will be known as the "Wild Boy of Borneo"—a man well advertised on account of notoriety. A girl that is not willing to work and get money by the sweat of her brow will soon go to ruin—for 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 and you will work, steal or do as other common people do. Birds of a feather will flock together. When you see a man in company with a tough, his stamp is upon the other. When a girl knows that another girl is any thing but a lady—why is it that they are always in their company. Answer—because she is no better than she. Facts From the Palladium Scrapbook In 1884, J.

W. Lloyd, president; P. W. Duvant, first vice-president; Dr. W. P. Curtis, second vice-president; H. W. Whitfield, third vice-president; J. B. Brooks, fourth vice-president; W. D.

Fleming, C. W. Watts, Jefferson C. Covington, chairman of the committee on organization. The richest woman in the world, Hetty Green, keeps about $800,000 worth of diamonds on hand at all times. She never wears any of them, but she knows that they increase in value at the rate of 3 per cent a year and holds them as an investment. Hetty wears no jewelry at all. Her sole possession in this line is a marriage ring worth about $18. The increment on her diamond hoard this year will be much larger than in previous years. Diamonds have gone up nearly 10 per cent. In the meantime the lady is 71 years old and growing older every day. If you want the people to know that you are in business send your ad to the Palladium. Pickett's Headache Powders give instant relief. 2601 Lawton avenue WILL ROOSEVELT HEAR HER. Will the president hear Emma Brown in the case of W. T. Vernon? Is it possible that the entire nation will 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 reflect upon such members of the race as may aspire for public honor or advancement. 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 despite what the big fellows have to say, she is entitled at least to the consideration 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 the Negroministry had better hide itself away to the tall uncut timbers of forgetfulness. In 1899 the Palladium made its first reference to the 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 letter 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 vindicated himself. On the 11th day of October, 1899, Jno. W. Wheeler received a letter from W. T. Vernon, after having referred to the Emma Brown affair 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 not deny these words. Right is right since God is God and right the day will win. We have no 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. IS 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 or personal grievance, and 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. Vernon is not the man 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 indorsed Prof. Vernon have based their indorsement on his reputation and ability as a politician. If these elements are the sole requisites for such an exiled 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 office only Negroes of higher qualifications, then Prof. Vernon should not have been chosen. John W. Wheeler and the Palladium have no personal feeling against Prof. Vernon or favoritism for Judson Lyons, nor have we any candidate for the registership, but we do not propose to sit quietly and see the president depart from his own established custom of selecting only men possessing all the needed qualifications. 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 Columbia. Mr. Taylor's record is too well known to be discussed. We also ventured the prophecy that Dr. Crossland was entirely too small for a United States minister. The truth of our assertion 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. THE GRAND LODGE OF U. B. F. & S. M. T., AND PETTICOAT LO-GAN OF COLUMBIA, MO. Since last August a case has been pending in the courts, and the result is made known through the Palladium, and not the Professional World—this little Petticoat man, who has been boasting and blatting about the result of the case. Now this little chap has come to grief and the cost in court will have to be paid by him. It is now in order for the grand temple to be called to meet on account of the disaster to the little Petticoat Logan, of Columbia, Mo. We hope that others can now see. John S. Withers, one of Texas' biggest cotton planters, was smothered to death under an avalanche of cotton seed in a warehouse at Lockport. M. R. H. E. HOFER, Attorney and Counselor-at-law. Of This space is reserved for the race baters 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 provided by Negro gentlemen for all of the skating members of the race in the city, a crowd of measley disloyal Negroes can be seen nightly making their way to this Jim Crow rink. Much consolation may be found in the fact, however, that these frequenters do not represent 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 carried 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. O.

Funny Little Man Who Will Comic to Life Over Gas Jet or Hot- Air Register. Have you ever heard of a convection current? It is the current of heated air that is bound to rise from any heated place or object. To prove the existence of a convection current, take @ gas flame, for instance, or a hot air grating in a sidewalic. ‘You may ‘ee the hot air simmering up from the grating, which makes the objects just beyond it lose the exact outlines of their shapes and look wabbly. First cut out a circle of tin; then cut almost to the center on the dotted lines, a3 shown in Fig. 1. Bend each cut section to an angle of 45 degrees. Now secure a length of strong, tough wire that won't bend with heat, and form with {t the angle shown at A (Fig. 2). Twist a small round loop- eye at the end of the upper horizontal piece which is marked B, C, and fasten that wire to the gas pipe, or to a wall ff the gas pipe is not convenient. Run a second lower horizontal wire at D, E, terminating it in a loop just too small for the vertical wire to slip through. This loop is to act es a socket for it to turn in. Now fix the tin wheel to the top of the vertical wire, as shown, after having inserted 2 «, a mea mm FIG.2 THE ANIMATED TOY. the wire into the position in the socket and loop. eee Now we are ready for Jack.~ Draw his head and’ body, in one piece, on a sheet of hard paper. Now, on another sheet, draw his legs and hips, In the positiog shown in the pic- ture. On a third sheet draw one arm, for Jack needs only one. Place your drawings on a thin sheet of tin, and cut around the edges of the paper till you have the outline of the drawings Teproduced in tin. Now lay Jack’s tin body on a block of wood, and join his tin legs to it 0 that the edges overlap. Drive a nail through both pieces of tin at this point, and join the pieces together by passing a wire through the nai!-hole and then twisting the ends together be- hind Jack’s back. Put on his arm in the same manner, and in the same way fasten his feet to the horizontal wire. Next connect Jack’s outstretched arm by a wire loop with the point of the angle of the vertical wire. ‘Turn on the gas; the convection cur- rent arises; it strikes the tin wheel, sending the wheel round at a great rate, which in turn sets Jack in mo- tion. 2 A Was*e of Time.

Boys of St. Paul, Minn., Organize a Company for Fun, But Get Good Training. - Of some “boy firemen,” a St. Paul (Minn.) exchange once had this: Over in the Sixth ward there is growing up a company of juvenile firemen that will know all about fire-fighting by the time they are old enough to en- ter the service. The day of the re- cent inspection they had made prep- arations to receive the visitors at engine house No. 6. A pile of brush, shavings and kindling wood was stacked up on a vacant lot. A bar- rel of water stood close by, and when the visitors had alighted, the boys came around the corner with a small brake engine, drawn by a pair of dogs, a hose-cart and a hock-and-lad- der truck. The fire had been start- ed, and was under good headway when the youngsters got on the ground. ‘They laid their hose, coupled on to the engine, and went to work hard, and soon had the fire out. ‘They were highly complimented for their effi- cfency.

Lesson for Feb. 25, 1906. 6 REV. WILLIAM EVANS, BD ‘@irector Biblical Department of the ‘Boody Bible Institute, Chicago; Of- cial Lecturer of the Cook County (Chicago) Sunday School Asso- ciation on tke Internattoral ‘SS Lessons) (Copyright, ism, by soseph B Bowles.) Golden Text: “The Son of Mag hath power on earth to forgive sins.” was; and when they had broken it up, they let dewn the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith, He said unto the sick of the palsy: Son, thy sins be for- given thee. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and rea soning in their hearts: Why doth this man thus speak blasphemiest Who can forgive sins but God only. And immediately when Jesus perceived in His spirit thet they so reasoned with themeelvcs, He said unto them: Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy: Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say: Arise, and take up thy bed and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power on carth to forgive sins, (He saith to the sick of the palsy) Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And im- mediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all.” Sickness a fype of Sin. Throughout the Scripture there fs recognized a very intimate connection between sickness and sin. Leprosy fs typical of sin in its beginnings, growth and consummation. Palsy, Wke sin, paralyzes the faculties of man; natural blindness 1s symbolic of the spiritual blindness caused by sin. In a spiritual sense people may “have eyes and see not; ears aiid hear not." The Palsicd Man 3s a Type of the Sinner. “?he sinner has certain ~ faculties which cannot be uséd untii he fs cured of the disease of sin. Sin Pights the spiritual eyesight, deafens spiritual hearing; darkens the understanding so that it cannot grasp nor under- stand divine things. Bin _paralyzes the faculties of the soul. Tip sinner fs as helpless to walk tn the way of God’s commandments as this palsled man was to walk the streets of Pales- tine. Paul, that deep student of hu man nature, said: “I know that ir me dwelleth no good things; for te will 1s present with me, but how to perform that which is good I find not ‘The good that I would, I do not What a confession of human inability. Sin and Sickness Closely Connected. While it 1s not true that in every ease sickness {s the direct result of a special sin committed by the one af- filcted, yet the Bible distinctly teaches that ofttimes such is the case. Jesus taught His disciples in the case of the man born blind (John $9) that thie sore affliction came not because of any special sin on the part of the blind man. Nevertheless by addresing his spiritual before his physical condition —by saving first. “Thy sins be for- given thee,” and afterward: “Rise, take up thy bed and walk,” the Master distinctly taught us that in this case at least (2s well as in John 5) the af. fliction was the result of scme par. Ucular sin. “Sin no more lest a worse thing come upon thee,"—words like these emphatically set forth the close relation between sin and disease. How Can Sin Be Forgiven? How can panishment for sin be averted? It has been said that there are three ways. First, Inasmuch as suffering and punishment is the result of sin, let us stop sinning, and hen we shall cease suffering. That sounds well. But it is cold, comfortless logic. Who can stop sinning; where Is the man in all the earth that doeth good and sinneth not. ‘This is law without love. Secondly, it is acknowledged that there is sin and there is punish. ment for sin, but then God fs kind, loving, and compassionate that He will say to us at last: “Well, it is true, you have been pretty bad, but I will look over it; come right into Heaven. ‘That {s love without law. If this were the real status: of the case, Heaven would not be a place long secure from the attacks of sin. Unless holiness and righteousness be the center of God's turone, safety and security can never be its circumference. Forgiveness Through Christ, There remains just_one other way of forgivenes. and that Is the true way. There is sin, and there is pun. fshment and condemnation for sin. But God has laid all our sins on Christ, who bore them in His own body on te tree. Fergiveneas then is by faith in the redeeming sacrifice of Christ. We have forgiveness through His shed plood. Here is law and love combined. thus allowing God to be just and the juetifier of the sinner who believes ir Jesus. Sin Must Neets Be Forgiven, Man must be forgiven or else he will be lost. If there is such a thing as sin in the world, then there is such a thing as punishment and condemna- tion for sin. If there be no sin, then we need have no worry with regard to the thought of pupishment, Jesus Ghrtet: tausht vers dalieltcle thas cae: . ‘Thankful for Small Merci. ‘A rman lost a leg in a railway e-zident} and when they picked him up tne first ford be seid was: “Thank the Lord, it was the leg with the rheumatism im it” Kilanta Constitution. : Zand of Spirits.

"I used her own argument," she said, "and turned it against her. I drove her to the wall with her own reasoning. I twisted her mistaken premises and her ridiculous conclusion into a syllogism that floored her completely." "You savage wretch!" exclaimed her athletic brother. "You used mental jujitsu on the poor girl!"—Chicago Tribune. Loaded with Honors. Sir William Soulsby, who has served as secretary to so many lord mayors of London, is entitled to wear more cosmopolitan array of orders than perhaps any man in England. In addition to his British honors, he boasts the orders of the Redeemer of Greece, Francis Joseph, of Austria, the Servian an orders of Takovo and St. Sava, the Leopold of Belgium, the Immaculate Conception of Portugal, the Humane Redemption of Liberia, as well as the Rising Sun of Japan. Solar Studv. Two distinct organizations, both composed of men eminent in science, are studying the sun with extraordinary care. One, the solar commission, established in 1903, is devoting its researches to the effect of the sun on the weather and climatic changes of the earth. The other, the solar union, formed in 1994, is endeavoring to as certain more than is now known about the sun itself. Both are European associations. Red Nose "Cure" In a Indian newspaper appeared an advertisement: "How to Cure Red Noses Permanently; absolute secrecy; send two shillings eight pence and stamped envelope." Many ladies, thinking their noses pinker than was becoming, wrote, and on opening their stamped envelope read: "Go on drinking until it becomes purple." Fast Riveting. In riveting with pneumatic hammers two men and one heater averaged 500 rivets in ten hours, whereas by hand 250 rivets is a good day's work for three men and one heater. The cost for each rivet, according to the Engineering Mining Journal, was 1-82 cents by pneumatic hammer, and 3-68 cents by hand. Spain's Exports and Imports During the first 11 months of 1905 the imports of merchandise into Spain amounted to 901,764,112 pesetas, against 757,301,931 during the correspondent period of 1904, an increase of 144,462,181 pesetas.

U. in a young giant state in the Northwest says: "I did not realize that I was a slave to coffee till I left off drinking it. For three or four years I was obliged to take a nerve tonic every day. Now I am free, thanks to Postum Food Coffee. "After finding out what coffee will do to its victims, I could hardly stand to have my husband drink it; but he was not willing to quit. I studied for months to find a way to induce him to leave it off. Finally I told him I would make no more coffee. "I got Postum Food Coffee, and made it strong—boiled it the required time, and had him read the little book, 'The Road to Wellville,' that comes in every pkg. "To day Postum has no stronger advocate than my husband! He tells our friends how to make it, and that he got through the winter without a spell of the grip and has not had a headache for months—he used to be subject to frequent nervous headaches. "The stronger you drink Postum the more food you get; the stronger you drink coffee the more poison you get." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. TO ROUND HOLLOW CHEEKS Woman with Sagging Face Should Use Skin-Food or Try Suction-Cup to Improve Contour. The woman with what is known as the sagging face can relieve her haggard and old appearance by persistent treatment before her own mirror. This is done either by a combination of skin food and massage or by use of a suction cup. The best skin foods all contain lanolin and many women fear to use it because it has the reputation of growing hair. This danger can be avoided if the skin food is properly used. First, wash your face thoroughly and dry it more than thoroughly. Leave not a speck of moisture upon it. Now apply the skin food and massage well, using upward and outward strokes, never downward. Then wash out the skin food with pure soap and water and dry thoroughly. The reason a growth of hair follows the use of skin food is that the pores are damp and the oil sticks in the pores. The following is an excellent formula for skin food: White wax, one ounce; spermaceti one USE THE SUCTION CUP. ounce; lanolin, two ounces; sweet almond oil, four ounces, coconut oil, two ounces; tincture of benzoin, 30 drops, orange flower water, two ounces. Melt the first five ingredients together. Take off the fire and beat until nearly cold, adding little by little the benzoin, and lastly the orange flower water. The suction cup is on sale at any first-class drug store and costs from 59 cents up. It looks like half a glass, topped by a rubber bulb. To use this cup, plant it firmly on the face in the middle of the chin, press the bulb and the edges of the glass will attach themselves to the skin. Now, work the suction cup upward and outward, covering as much surface as you possibly can on the right cheek, then press bulb and release the glass edges. Start again in the middle of the chin and work your way upward and outward on the left cheek. Always clean the cup thoroughly after using. A common cause of hollow, sagging cheeks is bad teeth. No woman who makes a pretense to good looks can afford to have one tooth missing from her mouth. Cosmetic dentistry has made it possible to build up a new tooth on a mere fragment or shell, and teeth are even planted in the gums. Porcelain fillings are now preferred to gold, which make the teeth look dark and porcelain false teeth are preferred to the more conspicuous gold crowns. Great hollows in the jaws cause not only sagging cheeks, but uncleanliness of the mouth, offensive breath, indigestion and malnutrition. PEANUT PARTY MAKES FUN Peanut parties are always enjoyable and easy to prepare. On the invitations fasten a peanut snail or have a string of peanuts painted on the card in water colors. Have a generous supply of peanuts concealed in the rooms, in every spot imaginable, behind pictures, under rugs, on window sills, etc. When the guests have arrived, give each one a silk bag or paper sack and let the hunt begin, each man for himself. After a half hour, call time and count the spoils, according a prize of a box of salted peanuts for the greatest number and a bag of unshelled nuts for the smallest lot.

A simple formula for tooth-powder is this: Four ounces of powdered precipitated chalk, one ounce of powdered myrrh, one ounce of pulverized orris, two ounces of pulverized borax. Mix and sift by forcing several times through bolting cloth. Use a firm brush when cleansing the teeth. Remove all foreign particles with a bit of dental floss. Twice a year have your dent's scrape away the tartar that is sure to form in spite of the greatest care. Hair Tonic. Forty grains of resorcin, one-half ounce of water, one ounce of witch-hazel and one ounce of alcohol. This is particularly good when the hair is very oily. Shampoo your glory crown every week or two with eggs and hot water. If tiny bits of the whites of the eggs adhere to the hair strands, don't fret yourself to a fever, because the brush will remove them. Hot water is necessary if the shampoo is to be thorough. HOW TO WASH THE FACE. All the grime of the day should be thoroughly removed at night and the pores of the face allowed free breathing space, advises Mme. Hebe. In the next place, don't use soap and water on the face any more than is necessary. Now, I am sure many soap-and-water fiends will exclaim: "Oh, I never can do without soap and water." Well, those who want to use soap, and oftentimes hard or dirty water, can do so, and when they get a good crop of wrinkles and large pores they will wish they had taken my advice. A learned physician once took me to task for advising a cleansing cream for the face, and said he always used soap and water, through the day, and from the very florid condition of his skin, and quite as many wrinkles as his years would warrant, I could readily believe he used soap and water, and not the best soap in the world or the purest water. When I compared his skin with a dainty, perfectly clean little woman's, with fine pores, clear, soft and delicately tinted, who for years had used only a cleansing cream, and a dainty toilet water during the day, I then and there decided to stick to my opinion. It is necessary to use certain preparations of soap and hot water once daily, but this should be used at night, and after this a cream. When the pores are large and coarse don't expect to improve them by scrubbing the face, as you would the kitchen floor. The face should be treated with a great deal of respect and gentleness. Large pores will respond to persistent massage, vapor and an astringent, but not to the scrubbing brush. Those who use water should never, never use hot in the morning, unless they also use cold. They can use hot water at night, and then a massage cream. When the muscles are relaxed, bathing with very cold water will help to make them firmer, but see to it that the water is soft and clear. Those of my readers who wish to have a clear, fine, unwrinkled skin, with the least trouble, try the following rules, and I am sure in six months' time you will feel well repaid for the little extra time it may require and the extra pin money expended. Take a warm bath every afternoon or night, and use a bath brush. Cleanse the face with a cleansing cream, or good soap, and warm water, followed by an application of cream, the last thing before retiring. Sleep in a well ventilated room. Ten minutes' physical culture exercise in the morning, and a cold sponge bath in a warm room; if not an all-over sponge, at least the throat and chest. Dampen a towel with toilet water and wipe the face, or in cold water, omitting soap. FOR EVENING DRESS. Bodice May Be Made of Almost Any Soft Materials Trimmed with Silk and Lace. This pretty bodice is suitable to be reproduced in soft woolen materials, such as veille, delaive and crepoline, or in silk. It is slightly full, and pouched all round over a deep swathed band of silk. The trimming consists of straps of silk terminating in pointed ends each side front; these are laced together in MEMRA. A GRACEFUL BODICE. center by ribbon passed through rinses that are worked over in buttonhole stitch with silk to match the color of the material. The outer edge of the strap is trimmed with a frill of lace, that is carried round the pointed ends. The sleeves consist of double puffs arranged on a tight lining and finished at the elbow by frills and lace ruffle. Materials required for the bodice: $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards silk 22 inches wide, about six yards lace. A. Scented Hairbrush Waves are scented by touching them with a brush that is itself scented. A scented brush is the nicest thing that can grace a woman's dressing table. It must be very clean, and must not be used for general brushing of the hair. Twice a week a few drops of jasmine can be poured upon it and the brush when not in use lies in a silken box with a cover upon it. When you are dressing the hair and have finished combing it take the brush from the box and run it lightly a dozen times through the hair. The result will be a delightful scent which will pervade the tresses all day. HIGH CLASS DRUGGISTS AND - OTHERS. The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or official names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handling out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—“Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased everywhere, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices.

TWITCHING NERVES A Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured By Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Sufferers from ailments that have afflicted in regular succession one generation after another of their family are, as a rule, inclined to submit to them as inevitable. The case which follows proves that such hereditary difficulties are not beyond the reach of curative forces and should inspire hopefulness and a readiness to try remedies that have effected signal cures, such as that which is here given. Mrs. Elizabeth Rannells, of No. 408 East Seventh street, Newton, Kansas, gives the following account of her ailment and her cure: "For two years I suffered from a trying nervousness in my lower limbs from my knees down, as my mother and my grandmother had suffered before me. The situation was for many years accepted as unavoidable because hereditary. But about two years ago, when my son was realizing benefit from the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I thought there might possibly be some good in them for me. My trouble had then become so serious as to make it difficult for me to sleep. I often had to walk the floor in restlessness the whole night. After taking some six boxes the twitching disappeared and I ceased to use the remedy. I evidently stopped a little too soon for nervousness came back after a month or so and I used the pills again for a short time. Relief came at once and since I stopped using them the second time I have been free from any return of the twitchings or from any interference with my sleep." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured the worst cases of bloodlessness, indigestion, influenza, headaches, lumbago, sciatica, neuralgia, nervousness, spinal weakness and the special ailments of girls and women.

So that the heart of [worldly pleasue, and the beart of Jesus ‘Christ can not live simultancously in the body of the church. | The one or the other mmst czase to beat. Hence the very grave impor- tance of the question at issue. Worldiy pleasure is not only inimical tothe best i arnestiiel pals pam it impoverishes their condition, but it oe eee and in the knowledge and truth as it is in Christ Jeeus.” I believe the state- | ment of the wise mam in Prov. 21-17 to the effect, “He that loveth pleasure | shall be poor,” is in keeping with th | best and commonest jogic of the age |in which we live. He recognized the fact that those who chase after worlé- ly pleasure must subscribe to a condi- tion no less than poverty. The deplor- | able result of chasing after worldly pleasure, when applied to our people is enous to make the “Angels weep.” The reason we are so often sued for non-payment of rent, the reason we cau not own our own homes, the rea- son we can not sufficientiy cisd our children for secular and Sunday school, the reason we can not meet ones: obligation, the reason we can not pay for our churches, the reason we cen not erect and maintain more schools, the reason our commercial standing is so limited we continué day after day to repudiate common sense and civilization by seeking worldly pleasure. The reason we 60 not build rail- roads, steam vessels and contribute to the operation of great telegraphic sys- tems, the reason we do not own more banks and shares in other great en- |terprises we run after all the “Horn- tooters” and fiddiers that come to town, and die with each other in at- tending balls, theaters, card and wine parties, beer gardens, wine rooms, ex- cursions and so-called “Sacred con- certs,” the term “Sacred” used as a subterfuge to desecrate the Lord’s day, jad delude young men and women of Christian type. It is said of our an- | esetors in this country that the Dutch traders had only to show them pieces of “Red” flannel, and that through this simple means they were indneed to “bop” on the sbip. I ack is not the -same simple fannel only in other col- ors leading us from the home of Chris- tian life in to places of degradation and shame? And if so, how will the “Twentieth Century” historian differ- entiate 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 de- generacy is inevitable. Yes, I appeal, in the name of God, to reason. Ah, did I say reason? Yes, reason, the mighty cannon 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 Heaven's perfect jewel. Hear me! Oh my people, hear me! Our position in this country is distinetly trans- verse. The crisis is on. Civil- ization demands of the Ameri- can Negro a better life, a life cevoted to his own best interests and that of tle government under which he lives. Watchman, what of the hour? As ambassadors of God, and leaders of our people, we are forced to confess with signal shame the fact that certain men and women of self-coustituted leadership; certain men and women among us and yet not with us, persist in the moral support of pleasure and vices that they know full well are damning our people and impeding the progress of both the ehurch and the race. But what do they care? Their sole aim is “high life” ef.d personal aggrandizement. As “ecc:esiastical” ambassadors, with God-given plenipo- tentiary power in these things, we must or lose the fight ‘Gur lips wich confess the sins of the professed and church members who are “choked to Geath with the pleasures Of this fe” (Lake £:26}, and who tefl 19 gemember thet “he who lives im pleasure is Gead while he liveth” 1 ‘Tim. 5:¢.
