No. 12. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. The First Baptist Church. The pastor of the First Baptist church will leave the city for a few days. We know that the congregation will miss him. There is an old saying, "that we never miss the water until the well runs dry"—so with this Christian gentleman. There will be baptizing at the First Baptist church to-morrow (Sunday). The First Baptist church will never be free of the Devil's doll baby until it gets rid of the Walking Delegate who is stirring up trouble. The evangelists this year, both in the Baptist and Methodist churches, are not worth the powder that would kill a dying rat.

C. SPANN, Business Manager. A. C. DANCING FROM 10 P. M. TO 2 A. Just now all American cities are agog over the presentation of Thomas Dixon's play, "The Clansman." "The Clansman" is an insult to the morality of the southern white woman in its portrayal of the heroine in love with a Negro mulatto. It pictures the Negro in his lowest and most abject form, appealing to the white man's meanest nature to rise up and vent itself upon every Negro. The play itself as presented on the stage carries with it an intonation which written words could never convey. There is no reference to the Negro as a scholar, good citizen, or even as a faithful servant; only the worst, the criminal type, is portrayed so vladily that those who have visited the play claim that at times the audience is worked up to the very fervor of a riot. It is indeed a pity that such plays are not legally suppressed. Think of the influence which this play will have over the destiny of the countless thousands of young white boys and girls who will view it. It is the germ of anarchy and mob law, and its influence must soon be felt. PROF. SHELDON'S ADDRESS. The address by Prof. Walter Sheldon on the subject of "The Educational Value of Music," at the sacred concert, last Sunday afternoon, was listened to by a large and appreciative audience, composed of the most intelligent ladies and gentlemen of the community. The solo of Miss Izella Cole was a revelation, the occasion being her debut as a vocalist. That she was a success was evidenced by the thunder-out applause that greeted her efforts, and the determination of the audience to hear more of the young lady. She responded, and the encore number was warmly applauded. The concerts will continue through the month of March. Miss Laura G. Otten has opened one of the finest hairdressing and manicuring parlors in the city, and is doing a large business. We wish her much success—620 North Vandeventer avenue, Phone, Lindell 3112.

The St. Louis Palladium made its way into Paris, Mo., Sunday, February 25. Many copies were distributed to the leading citizens, and it is hoped many will subscribe for the same. The installation services of the pastor, Rev. J. H. Downey, was held at the Baptist church, Sunday. The installation sermon was preached by Dr. J. T. Caston, of Jefferson City, Mo., president of the Missouri Baptist State convention, Text, Haggai, 2nd chapter—verse. Theme—Be Strong. His sermon was replete with learning, and logical in analysis. His hearers were made stronger by having heard him. Dr. Caston is not only one of the leading ministers of the state of Missouri, but he is one of the leading physicians—a strong man and a gentleman in every respect. He is one of the leading members of the U. B. F.'s and S. M. T.'s of Missouri, being at this time a member of the "Board of Management," and a delegate to the national convention at Lexington, Ky. AFTERNOON SERVICES. At 3 o'clock p. m., Dr. J. T. Caston, master of ceremonies, opened the services. The choir rendered beautiful music. Dr. Caston read the scripture lesson. Prayer was offered by Rev. P. D. Yocum, pastor of the A. M. E. church. Before beginning the services, Dr. Caston congratulated the members of the A. M. E. church on being so fortunate as to have Rev. P. D. Yocum as their pastor, the citizens on having at the head of the schools Prof. C. C. Hubbard and the members of the Baptist church on calling Rev. J. H. Downey. Welcome address were delivered by the following: On Behalf of the Sunday School, Mrs. F. J. Nott; The Mission Circle, Miss Emma Shropshire; The Deacon's Board, Mr. W. H. Moss; The Church, Mrs. A. P. Carter, and On Behalf of the Citizens, C. C. Hubbard, B. S. D. Rev. Downey responded in a pleasing manner, and pledged himself to all one people as their spiritual adviser with one thing in view, to do the right, and right only. Prof. G. A. Donaldson sang a tenor solo, "Oh For a Closer Walk With God;" Miss Lucy Campbell, of Hannibal, sang "Jerusalem." Dr. Caston preached at night to a large congregation. Rev. F. J. Nott preached in Vandalia last Sunday. Mr. Richard Taylor will soon leave for Moberly, where he will join Mr. Jones, the carpenter contractor, in that city. Mr. Henry Price bought a fine span of horses last week for $360. Mr. Price is one of the leading citizens. The U. B. F.'s and S. M. T.'s will soon dedicate their new two-story building on the corner of Main and Adams streets. They deserve praise for the excellent hall they have built. Read the Palladium for the news of the U. B. F.'s and S. M. T.'s. Death Claimed Her. Mrs. Beal submitted at last to the monster death, Sunday, February 18, 1906, at 2:30 o'clock, after suffering many months. She was a member of Mount Carmel Tabernacle No 28 of the Knights of Tabor for thirty years. She was buried by that order. She leaves a husband, two daughters, a son, five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, also a host of friends to mourn her loss. The family is deeply affected, and they express many thanks to the Lady Porter for their many tokens of respect and sympathy shown in their sad hour of bereavement. Mrs. Beal was buried from Elliot Avenue church, February 22. Rev. Gillium officiated. The Greely Club, 1215 Lucas Avenue. On last Tuesday some of the members gave a reception to their lady friends. Many ladies were present, and were dressed very fine in the most elegant style—Zenobia Dozie, Maud Bruner, Louise Copeland and L. Dozie. Miss Blanche Smith, of 1313 Linden street, was dressed in black, trimmed in white lace, gold gilted, white and black stockings, cap and brass bells. The other ladies looked well, but they could not hold a light to the dashing Miss Blanche Smith. All was well, and a general good time was had. See Friedman's "ad." He is our friend Anything in life will a man give for money, and Mr. Friedman has the dough. Call and see him—1324 Market street. At the Church Aid club of Fifth Baptist church a paper was read, February 4, by Miss Belle Brown. Subject: "That It Is Right to Play a Variety of Musical Instruments for Church Service." The subject caused much discussion pro and con by Reverends H. Irvin, L. C. Collins and others. W. L. Smith sustained the affirmative. In part, he said: "That mental darkness prevailed over this world from the sixth to the fourteenth century, which was perhaps due from the crucifixion of our Saviour. However, the world is just emerging from its dark gloom of despondency into the marvelous light of knowledge, civilization and Christianity; therefore, the negative conviction upon this question can not be based upon other than weak judgment, ignorance and superstition, from the fact that it is in harmony with Scripture, natural laws and human reason. The principal words in this subject are right, music and variety, which lead us as follows: Right, added to the term truth, constitutes that light which has been the guiding star in the old world to all that has been redeemed. "And if we could look into the future, on and on, until the end of time, in the channels of equity and justice, this light would still be shining, that all generations may see to enter Heaven and escape hell. And this light, linked to love and wisdom, constitutes the true character and nature of God Almighty, and with His quickening of spirit, as witnessed in our souls in addition to our knowledge of His great power as operative in variety, through the symbols in all nature, pictures to our mind that happy state of communistic love and organic unity. "And the second is the word music, which has for its origin the howling of the wind, and no man has ever known other in music than the greater the variety the sweeter the music. "And as to variety, and person with the least conception of moral judgment ought to know that our greatest happiness is due to the harmony of the greatest variety. For instance, God made the atom, the molecule, luminase and luminous either. He made levity, gravity, magnetism and electricity, heat, cold, light and darkness, all as essential varieties in the physical world that the air may be fit for man to breathe. He made 12 manners of fruit, 900 different species of foul, 1,700 varieties of animals and 3,700 different species of fishes in the sea—so reads the Scriptures. And in this connection of mind and matter, we read through the nervous system that with their amplications He required 100,000,000 different Straus. And so various has He made the human mind that no man can tell what another man thinks. Therefore, as God has made for His own good and glory, variety as the domineering principle, it must be right for us to worship God with a variety of musical instruments, and to do it with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength." A. C. CUMMINGS. The paper for March 4 is: "Whether the lost sheep referred to in Scripture is a Christian or a sinner." END OF MASQUE PARTIES. The last of the series of masque parties at Orpheus Academy, Friday night, was a grand success in every way. Despite the inclement weather, a large number of the patrons of the academy were in attendance. Almost everyone present was masked, and the costumes all showed excellent taste and great ingenuity on the part of the wearers. Prizes, in the shape of handsome silk umbrellas, were presented to those who were adjudged worthy by a committee selected by the maskers themselves. Those winning prizes were: Mesdames—Mayme Robinson, as the "Missing Link;" Leonora Hammond, "Flower Girl;" Lawrence Cass, "Sunflower." Misses—Laura G. Otten, as "Carmen;" Beatrice Hudlin, "Cuban Girl;" Iva De Van, "Liberty;" Slaughter sisters, as "Lady Washington" and "Oriental Girl;" Chilotilde Hudlin, "Queen of Hearts." Messrs.—L. A. Stafford, "Mexican;" Louis Hunter, "Clown," and Jesse Johnson, as "John Rucker." Others were costumed as Chinamen, priests, soldiers, courtiers, Indians, dancing girls, school girls, dominoes, etc. Mr. C. H. Wheeler, the brother of W. Wheeler, will collect from any of our subscribers. Please pay him, and he will give you credit for the same. Stop that Cough Pickett's Cough Syrup. eler And The Mushrooms. M. B. J. W. Wheeler And The Mushrooms. A few of the misguided Negro mushrooms held an indication meeting a few days ago and the Palladium was soundly denounced. The meeting was attended by a few interlopers and some so-called doctors? One of the doctors (?) said that Wheeler ought to be lynched, so they drew lots to see who should put Wheeler away and send him to the morgue. The lot fell on a so-called Negro doctor (?) but he did not like the task, for he knew that he had a splendid chance of going to the morgue himself if he met the Palladium man. Since January 1 the Palladium man has had no use for his 44 bulldog. But a Nigger preacher from Memphis, a representative of the Bluff City News, said that he would black the eye of the Palladium man. We are EH PARK PAID THE FINE PROMPTLY. FROM KINLOCH PARK Dear Editor—Please allow me space in your valuable paper for some news from the mission circle which met Sunday, the 25th inst., at 3 o'clock p.m., in their regular meeting, and to listen to a very valuable paper by Mrs. Carrie Miller, of First Baptist church, St. Louis, on "Woman's Home and Foreign Mission and Educational Work." It was a soul-stirring one, full of good things and pointed. It showed the importance of children becoming Christians at an early age. Mrs. Miller is indeed a Christian worker and not selfish, for she is showing her good thoughts in the small as well as the large churches. She referred to "Lo, ye seek me, Lord, ye find me" (well sald) for this good woman is going into the hedges and highways and sowing seed of kindness. Short talks were made in honor of the paper by several, and everyone went to their homes with cups overflowing. Praise God for Sister Miller. A few Sundays ago Sister A. H. Cooper was out and installed the officers for this year. This is indeed another good woman God has in His vineyard, working. She is always ready to respond to the call of duty. We have always been thankful for Sister Cooper in the work for the Master.

A mushroom said that. Wheeler will get his head blown off. No river between us, for there is only two doctors, fifive barbers, and two Niggers that served a term in the penitentiary, that would do the Palladium man harm. We fear not that class of Negroes. There is no place in the world like St. Louis. Why! Because the murderer, the gambler, the drunkard, the confident men and women, the penitentiary convict, all are in the same class, and because the Palladium man don't mix in that hand of scramps, he is to be killed. But like a true Kentuckian, when I die from them my bulldog will work. Mushrooms and Big Niggers are at work. But the Palladium man fears not. Judge Moore in the Court of Criminal Correction Punishes Witness. SHEWOULD NOT ANSWER. Persisted in Refusal Even When Ordered by Court to Make We were glad to see that Judge Moore upheld the dignity of his court against a woman who had more money than sense. Mr. E. H. Hofer is a gentleman who will take no underhand advantage of any witness., and as a lawyer he is entitled to the respect of every honorable man and woman. As David Crockett said, "First know you are right, then go ahead." While the judge protected Mr. E. H. Hofer, he did it more to uphold the dignity of his court. SUCH MEN WE INDORSE.

The Provincial Elections Were Conducted Without Disorder—Eight Present Governors Re-Elected. Washington, D. C. — Governor-General Ide has cabled the war department, from Manila, an account of the outcome of the Philippine elections Wednesday. These provincial elections being, in a way, educational for the Filipinos, who are unused to suffrage in any form, the results are watched with the keenest interest by the war department. The text of Gov. Ide's dispatch follows: "Provincial elections satisfactory. Not a single instance of disorder, although many ballots were required to elect in numerous instances. Have confirmed all elected except three suspended for investigation, charged with bribery and intimidation. Sandiko and Deveyra were elected and confirmed, as was also Reynolds, an American, who was elected on the seventeenth ballot. Eight of the present governors were re-elected." It is said that Sandiko is a leading agitator for independence. He was elected governor of his native province of Bulucan. Deveyra is a prominent newspaper man among the Filipinos. Reynolds was a captain of Thirty-first volunteer regiment and was subsequently appointed treasurer of the province of Albay, of which he has doubtless been elected governor. THE LAW IS VINDICATED Charles Coleman, Negro Who Murdered School-Girl, Lawfully Executed. Shreveport, La.—Closely guarded by two companies of militia, Charles Coleman, the negro who murdered Margaret Lear, a school girl, last week, was privately hanged at 12:37 p. m. Thursday. A large crowd surrounded the jail, but there was no hostile demonstration. Just as the hangman placed his foot on the trigger, Coleman exclaimed: "Good-by." He was pronounced dead in 13 minutes, his neck being broken. One of the murdered girl's brothers witnessed the execution. There was strong talk of burning the negro's dead body if the mob could get it, but the governor, who arrived Thursday morning, and the mayor took prompt steps to prevent this and will give the body decent burial. ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE Peoria School Inspectors Ordered to Show Cause Why They Should Not Be Ousted. Peoria, Ill.—Circuit Judge Nicholas Worthington, who sentenced N. C. Dougherty to Joliet, issued an order in circuit court, Tuesday afternoon, ordering the eight school inspectors of Peoria, who have a year yet to serve, to appear in court on March 12 and show cause why they should not be ejected from office on the ground of illegal election. The ruling of the court followed the presentation of a petition signed by prominent attorneys. It has the effect of opening up the entire question of the liability of the Peoria national bank and the bondsmen of the treasurer. MONEY LENDER'S TEST CASE He Wants to Levy On the Household Goods of the Castellanes For Money Lent to Boni. Paris, France.—An application was made to the civil tribunal of the Seline, Thursday, in behalf of a money lender, for permission to levy on the household goods in the Castellane mansion to satisfy a claim for money advanced to Count Boni. The lawyers for the countess resisted the request on the grounds that the goods are her separate property. The case finally was referred to a judge in chambers to determine whether a portion of the count's belongings are in the mansion. The case is considered to be a test affecting numerous other creditors. Bells In Every Church In Dubuque Tolled When an Honored Citizen Was Buried. Dubuque, Ia.—An impressive funeral of former Speaker David B. Henderson was held here Thursday afternoon. Business was suspended during the hours of the funeral, and for five minutes following the commencement of services the bells in every church in Dubuque toiled. Otherwise silence reigned, not a wheel turning in the city during that period. Washington.—The regular monthly statement of the public debt, issued Thursday, shows that at the close of business February 22, 1906, the total debt, less cash in the treasury, amounted to $987,521,555, which is a decrease for the month of $4,003,041. This decrease is principally accounted for by a large increase in the amount of cash on hand. Destructive Prairie Fire. Salina, Kas.—A fierce prairie fire swept 30 square miles of the richest farm lands in Rice county, Wednesday night, resulting in damage estimated at $50,000. It has been reported that two children lost their lives in the flames, but this has not been verified. Mount Carmel, Ill.—Thursday the coroner's jury returned a verdict holding J. W. Murphy and Charles Dodd, who killed two men at the railroad station here, to the grand jury without bond. A. F. and A. M Of Missouri and Its Jurisdiction. GRAND LODGE. GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI.

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.

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.

Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negre 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. LEADER POOL ROOM AT Lillie Bar, Patiot Street, RES, LIQUORS CIGARS. RD, - - - Proprietor.

EASY RIDING, STRONG, DURABLE, SELF HEALING FULLY COVERED by PATENTS BEWARE OF IMITATIONS Happenings in Missouri. Mutual Reserve to Leave Missouri State Superintendent of Insurance Vandiver has received a letter from Vice President George D. Eldridge, of the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance company of New York stating that the company will file with the Missouri insurance department a statement of its business for 1955 and would withdraw from the state. Superintendent Vandiver said that the reception of this notification would relieve him from the issuance of an order of ouster which he had in preparation. A. St. Louis Hotel Fire. While laboring under intense mental excitement or nervousness, P. T. Hughes, 26 years old, from Lincoln, Neb., began throwing furniture around in his room in a St. Louis hotel. He finally overturned a lighted lamp and started a fire. Hughes and J. A. Courtney, who also occupied a third floor room, jumped from windows to escape the flames and were picked up with fractured skulls and are in a critical condition. The flames were extinguished with a loss of $2,000. Cut to Pieces by Engine M. M. Mathew, master mechanic at Francis, on the Burlington cut-off, in the eastern suburbs of Mexico, was run over by an engine near the roundhouse and literally cut to pieces. Mathew was walking down the track facing the blinding snowstorm and failed to see the approaching engine. Half an hour was spent in getting the body out from under the engine, so mutilated and tangled had it become in the machinery. Feigned Hanging and Died. Frederick Thiemann, while attempting to frighten his family by pretending suicide, actually hanged himself. He was a farmer living on the Clayton road near St. Louis, and in the absence of his wife and daughter went to the attic and rigged up some ropes through a ring in the rafters. Placing a noose around his neck he pulled himself off the floor. A knot caught in the ring and Thiemann was strangled to death. A. Family's Ninth Suicide. Arnold VanVen, 18 years old, shot and killed himself at his home in St. Louis. He was the ninth member of his family to die by suicide, his father, grandmother and six aunts and cousins having killed themselves within the last few years. He was the support of six brothers and sisters and became discouraged with the struggle to earn a living. A Fire in a Factory Building. A two-story factory at Twenty-ninth and Kirkwood streets, Kansas City, occupied by the Pague Manufacturing company, makers of tin and galvanized iron ware has been destroyed by fire. The loss on the building was $2,000, and on the contents about $6,000. The fire is supposed to have caught from a fire pot filled with molten lead. Vote Trenton Water Works Bonds.

Pryor, of Wright county, has resigned as United States deputy marshal and is succeeded by Allen Sheldon, of Clinton, who has qualified before George Pepperdine, clerk of the United States court. He will have his headquarters at Springfield. Blind as Result of Accident. William Wood, was seriously injured while assisting to clean up a wreck near Centralia. A guy rope broke and a beam fell upon him, fracturing his skull and injuring him internally. As a result he is temporarily, and possibly permanently blind. A Thrown Knife in His Body. Charles Potter, of Springfield, a teamster, 25 years old was fatally wounded by a knife thrown by a negro, striking into his breast just over the heart. The knife was thrown at another negro, missed him and struck Potter. Farmer Badly Benten. While William May, a farmer, was going home from Galena in his wagon he is alleged to have been assaulted and badly beaten by Ira Thompson. Accidentally Shot While Hunting. While hunting east of Sedalia Robert Smith was accidentally shot at short range by Linn Paget and possibly fatally injured. Smith was operated on at Maywood hospital and the bullet was extracted. No Arrests in County by Police. A decision has been handed down by the supreme court that the St. Louis police have no authority to make arrests in St. Louis county except to serve papers for crimes committed in St. Louis city. Hardware Men Elect Officers. The eighth annual meeting of the Missouri Retail Hardware Dealers' association was held at Kansas City. The election of officers developed a surprise. The St. Louis members got up a boom for Vice President W. H. Hahn for president, and members from many of the small towns fell into line. Mr. Hahn was elected by a vote of 21 to 14. The secretary is elected by the executive committee. The other officers elected were: Vice president, M. A. Wengert, Kansas City. Executive committee—Taylor Frier, three years; O. W. Johnston, of Marshall, two years, and W. T. Shoop, of Richmond, one year, the last two named being re-elected. Open a Springfield Hospital. The new St. John's hospital at Springfield has been formally opened to the public by the Sisters of Mercy. The building has been recently completed at a cost of $40,000. Several checks for $500 were received on the opening day by the sisters to help pay for the building and help in furnishing it. The hospital is said to be one of the finest in the state. It is built of brick, is three stories high and is situated in the center of a large plot, which is being laid out in gardens and walks. Last spring Gov. Folk laid the corner stone of the building. Sus Roberts' Estate for $100,000. Alleging that she is the legitimate child of the late Joseph S. Roberts, of St. Joseph, Mrs. Nannie G. Darrell, colored, has brought suit in the circuit court of Buchanan county for $100,000 against Frank N. Devorsas, administrator of the Roberts estate. Mr. Roberts, who died June 22, 1905, was vice president of the Richardson-Roberts dry goods company. The Darrell woman sues on an alleged breach of contract. The laws of Missouri do not recognize the rights of an illegitimate child to share in an estate. University to Buy Live Stock. An appropriation of $6,000 to purchase improved live stock for Missouri university has been made by the board of curators at the monthly meeting of the executive board. This appropriation was provided by the last legislature. The board decided to appoint an assistant to Prof. C. F. Marbut in geology, because a large share of his time is now required in connection with the soil survey of the state which the university is making. Archbishop Ireland at Kansas City. Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul, addressed an audience of 15,000 people in Convention hall at Kansas City upon the subject, "The Republic of Washington." United States Senator Warner acted as chairman and introduced the distinguished prelate. More than 20,000 tickets had been sold, and thousands of people attended from Kansas and Missouri cities and towns to hear the lecture. The Women Favor Temperance. The Jasper county Women's Christian Temperance Union, with a membership of 300, will hereafter use no more patent medicines containing alcohol, and will patronize only physicians who favor temperance. This was the gist of a resolution passed at Carthage at the temperance union meeting. Many of the delegates were in favor of tabooing all patent medicines. To Open Springfield Normal. W. T. Carrington, state superintendent of public schools and president elect of the normal school recently located at Springfield, has arrived there from Jefferson City and is preparing for the summer school opening. Mr. Carrington says that the new normal at Maryville will open about the same time that the Springfield school will begin. Improvements at Arcadia. A commercial club has been organized at Arcadia with the following officers: L. Miller, president; F. W. Pempleman, vice president and F. M. Davis, secretary-treasurer. J. P. Curran, president Missouri Immigration association, attended and assisted in the organization. The city is now building a light plant and a bank block. Hurt at Mine Near Webb City. The tramway at the Osceola mine near Webb City gave way, letting George Armer and Ewa Davis fall 45 feet. Armer was killed and Davis, it is thought fatally injured.

Ambrose Cox has been discharged from the penitentiary, where he was received in November, 1905, to serve a ten-year term for murder in the second degree, under a commutation granted by Gov. Folk. BETTER THAN A CASCADE. Something More Picturesque Than a Mess of Water Running Over Rocks. Several years ago William L. Douglas spent a short vacation with some friends in New Hampshire, relates the Boston Herald. The first morning there found him taking his usual long walk. He had heard his friend talking of Wilson's cascade, just four miles from there, so decided to walk in that direction. He had gone about two miles, when he saw an old man sunning himself in the doorway of a great barn which stood near the road. "Can you direct me to Wilson's cascade?" he inquired of the old man. The old man squinted his eyes and took an exhaustive survey of the questioner before he spoke. "Like your first right and follow it till you come to fork where there it's a clump of blackburn bushes," he said, slowly, "then strike off to the left. Go on till you come to the net cross road, and then bear off to your left again. When you've gone a piece Simmons house. You'll come to Abe Simmons house. You'll come to him, because he wears plaid overalls, green and blue plaid, and she makes 'em for him. You can't keep from laughing when you set eyes on 'em, I'll wager." "Excuse me, but I have only so much time," said Douglas; "will Mr. Simmons direct me to the cascade?" I presume to say he can," he answered, "but a little mess of water running over a little mess of rocks will seem tame to you." Cures Rheumatism and Catarrh- Medicine Sent Free.

Hayden, of O. C. Hayden & Co., dry goods merchants, of Albert Lea, Minn., says: "I was so lame that I could hardly walk. There was an unaccountable weakness of the back, and constant pain and aching. I could find no rest and was very uncomfortable at night. As my health was good in every other way I could not understand this trouble. It was just as if all the strength had accountable weakness of the back, and constant pain and aching. I could find no rest and was very uncomfortable at night.

After suffering for some time I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. The remedy acted at once upon the kidneys, and when normal action was restored, the trouble with my back disappeared. I have not had any return of it." For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. POLICE This brilliant man walks up and down Upon the streets of Spotless Town.

Several articles came to the Palladium office this week for publication, but no ducats came with them; therefore, they are on file in this office. Old Man Free Doings died some months ago. You will find him in Greenwood cemetery—grave 4-11-44. 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. We visited a house on Walnut street a few days ago, and found the pretty lady wearing two five-dollar gold pieces for earrings and a ten-dollar gold coin for a breastpin. None of the coins was mutilated. We had 10 cents in our pocket, and wanted more, but got it not. 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? 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. A few days ago our reporter visited the undertaking establishment of Mr. Anderson Russell and found there the bodies of four young Negroes all under 25 years of age. Three were women and had died of consumption, and the fourth was a man and he had been shot by a girl. From this scene might be selected a powerful object sermon. The young Negro by fast and riotous living has contracted all of the diseases of the white race from which the ante-bellum Negro was free. The Palladium man entered the Jim Crow Skating Rink in his invisible robe a few night ago, and found upon the floor of that place, old men and young men, old women, and young women, and several children with a few pet dogs. The frequenters seemed in the heyday of their glory. The ventilation was poor and the stench was bad, hence we did not tarry long. These are the kind of Negroes that Thomas Dixon and his clansman are presenting. A few days ago three Negroes were out working St. Louis on the old racket of begging for a church. They went into the Olympic theater. The treasurer's office was filled with gentlemen and ladies. These three rag-a-muffens went in, not having the politeness of a common dog. They did not remove their hats; one of them was stinking with whisky. This class of Negroes ought to be confined in the jail or workhouse, as they are a disgrace to the Negroes of St. Louis and the entire race. CITY NEWS.

THE POLICE AND NEGRO ROUNDERS THE POLICE AND NEGRO ROUNDERS For the past two months the Negro loafers, 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.

At the time of the new moon on the 23d of last month, the cardinal sign Aries will be rising, and the fiery Mars will be in the ascendant, and Uranus will be approaching the meridian. The conjunction, which is an ecliptic one, but not visible in this country, occurs in the twelfth division in close proximity to the planets Saturn, Mercury and Venus, and not far from the quartile of Jupiter. These positions are not favorable for the government or sovereign, and sudden and serious events will crop up, causing uneasiness and alarm in the country and danger of a rupture. Accidents will be, frequent and very fatal, and the losses through confagrations will be heavy. Earthquake shocks will be frequent and destructive. The end of the month will find *the general outlook much more quiet and peaceful, and diplomacy will have earned a rich reward. The public health will be good, and the weather favorable, but dry. People who visit places of amusement, and young children, must be careful of accident, and, probably fire. Railways will not be altogether fortunate, for accidents will be frequent and traffic dull. Many sudden and curious deaths will occur during the last week. LUCKY AND UNLUCKY DAYS. 1. A very uncertain day. 2. Sell in the afternoon or evening; do nought else. 3. Sell; an unlucky day. 4.

LOUIS PALLADIUM When a person wants to put one or two lines in the Palladium he must first put up 5 cents for each line, or nothing goes. 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 southern Negro newspapers want to extend their boundaries they should send a gentleman to canvass in St. Louis—not a blackguard or a so-called preacher. When ex-Detective Andy Gordon was ordered to kill the Palladium man, why was it not done? Because it was a case of killing or being killed. It might be the case with the little Negro and so-called preacher from Memphis. Why is it that every strange Negro from Memphis, Tenn., wants to play "Big Ike" when he comes to St. Louis? Answer: On account of the shallowness of brains in his heels, as he has none in the head. --- A Negro preacher from Memphis, in speaking about the Palladium, said: "Well, I am a preacher, but Wheeler ought to be in hell." We think as much when he becomes as common as the Negroes from Memphis. --- A Negro, so-called preacher, from Memphis, in speaking about the Palladium man, said that he, J. W. C., will black his eye. This same nigger was in our office, and yet there is no river between us. We are doing business at the same old place. Please call upon us. --- A yellow Negro from Memphis said, in a church on Fairfax avenue, that there never would be another black man that would be appointed in that church on Fairfax avenue. This shows what a common Negro from Memphis will do. He should belong to the Mushroom gang. The members came near throwing him out of the church window. WEBSTER GROVES. The Mothers' Saturday Evening club met at the usual hour, and there was a very interesting paper, "The agent will give you a call." Mrs. Wesley is out again, looking fine. Mrs. A. Burnett and Mrs. Thomas are faithful church workers, always ready to lend a hand. The First Baptist church will have a rally the last Sunday, March 25. All are invited. Mrs. Johnson has been confined to her bed for some time. We hope for her early recovery. Rev. Purnell certainly can preach the gospel. KIRKWOOD The concert which the Methodist choir gave was quite a success. Mrs. Bridges entertained the Thimble club, Friday, February 23, at 2 o'clock. When you have a spare chance just stop in the Second Baptist church and hear Rev. Granger. I am sure you will call again. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. The friends of education will be very much interested in State Superintendent Carrington's most excellent report of Missouri schools. The enclosed report on Lincoln institute, pages 69 72, submitted by President B. F. Allen, presents a very interesting account of the growth, development and needs of the institutions, and will be highly appreciated by all who are looking to practical education as one of the most potent forces in race elevation. The young ladies of the freshmen class showed their patriotism by rendering a unique programme on Washington's birthday, to which they invited their teachers. The entertainment was very enjoyable and reflected much credit upon the participants. A concert will soon be given in the auditorium, under the auspices of the musical department, and at President Allen's request, complimentary to the citizens of Jefferson City. Without exception the citizens, both white and Colored, are loud in their praise of the musical talent of the institution. The college paper, "The Record," is out and contains many items of more than passing interest. Copies for sale at five cents each. Address President Allen for information relative to Lincoln Institute summer school. For sale at the office of the St. Louis Palladium, oil the goods that are manufactured by the Boston Chemical Co. at Richmond, Va. --- 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 Negro ministry 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 it 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 registries. 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 indented 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 to 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 by 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 LOAN 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- 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. GOVERNMENT LOSES A MILLION DOLLARS A MONTH. The national deficit the past seven months, despite the enormous cost of running our much socialized government, was but $7,000,000, and by economy the present congress can easily change the deficit into a surplus. The income of the Dingley tariff is amazingly high. The past six months the gold product of this country has been increased about $6,000,000, as compared with the corresponding period of the previous year. There is also a considerable increase in national banking currency.. 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. ® Mrs. Caroline Nelson, the great spiritualistic clairvoyant and medium, who has the peculiar gift of revealing to you the past, present and future, being in direct communication with the spirit world.

Rheumatism is a disease of the blood, caused by the failure of the body to cast off certain poisons. External applications are of use only in securing temporary relief from pain—the cure for rheumatism lies in purifying and enriching the blood. Mrs. Frederick Brown, of 40 Sumpter street, Sandy Hill, N.Y., was a sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism from the time she was sixteen. She says: "It first appeared in my knee joints, then in my hips and waist. It became a regular thing that I would be laid up all winter. The rheumatism affected mostly my hands, hips, feet and shoulders. My hands were all puffed up and my feet became deformed. I lost my appetite, couldn't sleep and sometimes I was compelled to cry out, the pain was so intense. "For several winters I was under the doctor's care and while his medicine relieved the pain for a little while there seemed no prospect for a permanent cure. I was confined to my bed, off and on, for weeks at a time. My limbs swelled dreadfully at times and I was reduced almost to nothing. "In the spring of 1904, upon the advice of a friend, I began to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. At that time I wasn't able to do anything and could barely eat enough to keep alive. I felt a change for the better in about a month. I began to eat heartily and I suffered less pain. Of course I kept on the treatment, using care in my diet, and in about three months I was cured. I am entirely well today and do all my own work." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured Mrs. Brown by driving the rheumatic poisons out of her blood.

At Thornham, in Norfolk, the schoolmaster has taught the village lads the art of hand-wrought ironwork to such purpose that this small place promises to recover a lost industry for England. Skilled London artists now send their designs to Thornham for execution rather than abroad, while the king has been one of the first to recognize the merits of the work that is done. The schoolmaster acts as manager in the unique movement. Fanatical Ceremony. Mohammedans of the Caucasus have a religious ceremony called "Chucksee Wucksee." It is a ceremony in which the fanatics cut and wound themselves in the following ghastly fashion, according to a traveler: "Each man, grasping a kinjal in his hand, brought it up in front and down on the crown of his head. Almost at every stroke the blood gushed forth and soon one man after another became a staggering, blood-soaked figure." Simple Larceny The colored physician not having been able to locate the malady and check it, a white physician was called. After looking at the patient a short while, the white doctor inquired: "Did Dr. Jones take your temperature?" And the old colored auntie answered: "Ah don't know, sah; Ahn't missed nothin' 'cept mah watch."—Lippincott's Magazine. FOOD AND STUDY. A. College Man's Experience. "All through my high school course and first year in college," writes an ambitious young man, "I struggled with my studies on a diet of greasy, pasty foods, being especially fond of cakes and fried things. My system got into a state of general disorder and it was difficult for me to apply myself to school work with any degree of satisfaction. I tried different medicines and food preparations, but did not seem able to correct the difficulty. "Then my attention was called to Grape-Nuts food and I sampled it. I had to do something, so I just buckled down to a rigid observance of the directions on the package, and in less than no time began to feel better. In a few weeks my strength was restored, my weight had increased, I had a clearer head and felt better in every particular. My work was simply sport to what it was formerly. "My sister's health was badly run down and she had become so nervous that she could not attend to her music. She went on Grape-Nuts and had the same remarkable experience that I had. Then my brother, Frank, who is in the post office department at Washington city, and had been trying to do brain work on greasy foods, cakes and all that, joined the Grape-Nuts army. I showed him what it was and could do, and from a broken-down condition he has developed into a hearty and efficient man. "Besides these I could give account of numbers of my fellow-students who have made visible improvement mentally and physically by the use of this food." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.

Girls, did you ever see a photograph frame made of peanuts? Well, try making one for yourself. And if you do you will not stop with one—you will probably make three or four for your own room, as well as some for your friends as little gifts, for you will find them most unique and artistic. Have a carpenter make a thin pinewood frame to fit a cabinet or panel photograph, building it with the proper grooves in the back to admit of fitting in a glass and cardboard protection, explains the Cleveland Leader. Then get a bag of peanuts and a pot of good glue. With a small brush appy the glue to the frame and lay on the peanuts—in the shells, of course—taking pains to fit them snugly together. As you place them drop a little glue from the brush between the nuts to hold them securely together. After the frame is completely covered with the peanuts let it lie on the table till the glue is thoroughly hardened, then with a clean brush go over it very carefully with furniture varnish. If the frame is hung against a panel of dark red or green burlap, you have no idea how artistic the effect is. THE MAGIC BLOW. If a stick is taken and tapered off to the ends equally from the center, and the stick itself be not too thick, and if it is then placed with its tapered ends resting on two wine-glasses, a good smart blow being struck on its center, it will break in two without damaging the wine-glasses. The cause of this involves a curious principle of the laws of force, of which there are many illustrations well known to everyone. The blow being given very quickly and evenly, READY FOR THE BLOW. and the substance which strikes having a rapid motion, it is suddenly arrested in its downward course by the stick across the wine-glasses, and it passes through it, or breaks it, because there is not time enough for the momentum of the blow to spread along the stick and break the glasses. Another illustration is firing a candle through an inch board. If a gun be loaded with powder, and a candle just fitting the barrel is inserted in place of a bullet, and the gun fired against a door or other piece of wood, the candle will pass through, leaving a clean, smooth hole, because when the candle comes to the door, it is evident something must give way, and as the candle is moving fast, it actually has not time to break, and the wood is perforated.

The Progressive Boy In 1874, Luther Lafin Mills, of Chicago, the eloquent attorney, was sitting in his office, when a boy entered and delivered the lawyer a morning paper. There was nothing unusual in this, because the same boy had performed the same service for months, in sunshine, slush and shower. On this particular occasion the boy loitered about the room, looking at the law books and the wilderness of briefs. Then he turned rather abruptly toward Mr. Mills, and said: "I would like to be a lawyer." Mr. Mills questioned him, and found him intelligent, earnest and plucky. He took him in. The boy read, attended office duties, ran errands, went to lectures at the law school, and made himself invaluable. At the expiration of two years he was ready to push out his own boat. He has been climbing upstairs ever since. Recently his voice was heard in one of the most important cases that have been tried in Cook county. The Heavenly Road. "Does you ever stop ter think how high heaven is?" "Don't worry me wid sich problems.

And now we have the modern "progressive" games, the "progressive conversational" being one of the most enjoyable that comes under that head. Not only is the "progressive conversational" most delightful to those who participate in it, says the Cleveland Leader, but it is educational as well. It helps the young folks to cultivate the art of easy and fluent conversation with grace of manner, gesture and expression, as well as storing the mind with practical knowledge. To give an evening's "progressive conversational" it is well to choose as the topics of converse some well-known authors and their books, dissecting, as it were, the most noted characters of their books. The drama is also a splendid subject to devote a part of an evening over. Lest too much conversation, along serious lines, should prove dull to those who have come together for social intercourse and innocent fun, music and recitation should be interspersed between the various subjects. --- DAWN REFUSED TO APPEAR Business had not been good at the Thespian temple of a Midland town, and various tradesmen were pressing the management for payment. As a last appeal to an unappreciative public, a play "For Honor and for England," was put on. One scene was played in semi-darkness. The hero, sitting in a log hut, was waiting for daybreak, destined to bring him deliverance from his woes or disaster. "The dawn, at last!" he exclaimed. "Bright Phoebus gilds yonder mountain peak!" "Bright Phoebus gilds yonder mountain peak," he repeated in louder ammunition that the use to tie the footlights had not been noticed. Still the darkness continued. "Bright Phoebus gilds yonder mountain peak, I say!" he roared. "Well, guv'nor," came in clear tones from the gasman at the wings, "I reckon you'd better git along without Phoebus. They've cut the blessed gas off!" AWFUL PSORIASIS 35 YEARS. Terrible Scaly Humor in Patches All Over the Body—Skin Cracked and Bleeding—Cured by Cuticura. "I was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty-five years. It was in patches all over my body. I used three cakes of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Ointment, and two bottles of Resolvent. In thirty days I was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made its appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the center a spot about the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of a white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove oil from the skin, oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too long without removing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. I suffered intense itching, worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable. W. M. Chidester, Hutchinson, Kan. April, 1905."

(Director Biblical Department of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago; Official Lecturers of the Church) (Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles.) Theme: Jesus tells us the secret of happiness. Scripture Lesson: Matthew 5:1-16. Golden Text: "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." Jesus a Preacher of Happiness. The theme of Christ's first sermon was happiness. He began His mission with a benediction. Thoroughly understanding the needs of the human heart, He set about answering its supreme question, What is Happiness, and, Where can it be found? To-day, as in the days of Christ's earthly mission, the supreme quest of man is the quest of happiness. Happiness Hard to Define Happiness Hard to Define. It is clear that Jesus attempted to define happiness. Indeed, it is a question whether it can or cannot be defined. Happiness is a relative term. What would make one person happy, might not bring about the same result in the life of another. Jesus deals with the essential conditions of happiness—conditions which are not peculiar or limited to any one class of society, but which may be characteristic of them all. These conditions are not social and physical, but moral and spiritual, and thus are within the reach of all men. Who May Be Happy? What surprises us as we read the Sermon on the Mount, is the fact that Jesus makes happiness to spring from such an unexpected source. The very persons whose names we would naturally expect to find in a catalogue of happy people are not mentioned here. The great Teacher did not say: "Blessed are the rich, the noble, the mighty, the famous, the gifted, the crowned, the titled." Jesus did not pronounce these people happy for the simple reason that a great part of the time these things bring much misery in their trail, and there is abundant evidence to prove that myriads of people are happy who possess none of these so-called dignities. Christ struck at the very root of blessedness. The True Secret of Happiness. In the first place, Jesus speaks of His people as being "blessed" not happy. Blessedness is a deeper word than happiness. Usually we, who are shortsighted, speak of people as being happy when the world goes well with them. Yet even we would hesitate very often before pronouncing such people "blessed." Happiness is outward and transitory; blessedness is inward and abiding. Outward conditions, such as prosperity or adversity cannot take it away. Good fortune, is not blessedness; but good character is. Happiness Consists in Being, Not Having. Having. What a man is, not what he has; what he is in himself, not what he does; his character, not his possessions determines his happiness. Blessedness the kingdom of Heaven, is founded upon character. The good man is the happy and blessed man. The Poor in Spirit Are Blessed. Jesus did not say, "Blessed are the poor, poverty in itself, no more than riches, is a blessing. Indeed, it may be a curse and the source of much unhappiness. No benediction is here placed upon poverty as such. It is not the beggar that is blessed. It is the "poor in spirit." The humble man; the man who places no confidence in his own good works, but pleads spiritual poverty; the man who comes to Christ for salvation with this plea upon his lips: "Nothing in my hands I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling; Helpless, look to Thee for grace. Those who "mourn" because of their spiritual poverty are blessed. Such mourning shall find comfort from God. This does not mean. Blessed is everyone that weeps. The blessing is for those who weep over their sins. Of course, God comforts His people when they mourn for other causes, too. The "meek," too, are blessed. The man submissive to the will and purpose of God for Him in the world will always be happy. Indeed, unhappiness comes because we rebel against that will. The "meek" man is the man who is "broken-in" to do the will of God. The man who is "pure in heart" as well as in life will find happiness in that condition. Purity in thought and in secret, as well as in act and in public, is demanded for happiness. The impure man is never the happy man. Impurity is hell, and no man is happy in hell. The man who is constantly "craving" after a life of personal holiness, who has a passion akin to "hunger and thirst" after a godly life will be blessed. Indeed, if we seek righteousness rather than happiness we shall certainly find happiness through our righteousness. The capacity for pity; the ability to sympathize, the practice of "showing mercy" is an essential profound for happiness. The hard-hearted man is not a happy man. The ability and capacity "to suffer for righteousness' sake" is one of the conditions of happiness. The apostles "rejoiced that they were worthy to suffer for His name's sake." Suffering for the right should not bring sorrow, but contrariwise happiness. We rejoice to know that they are following in the train of Christ Him self. CURIOSITY OF THE FEMALE It Is the Character of It That Ways It Is the Character of It That May As to a woman's curiosity, it may be said at the outset that she is not so curious by an infinite measure, as is man himself. Women, it is true are persistently and assidiously curious; but men also are not only persistently and assidiously but patiently and systematically curious. It is the character of female curiosity that makes it apparently contemptible, says the National Magazine. Scientific men of every kind have no raison d'etre for their infinitely patient research save pure curiosity alone; and their curiosity has no more purpose in it than has the curiosity of the woman who cannot rest until she finds out all discoverable facts about her neighbors, or the cause of a mysterious sound by sight. These two forms of curiosity, the male and the female, originated no doubt in the early needs of the race long before men appeared on the earth. The male animal is interested in the causes of remote things—things which, upon being run down, might turn out useful for food purposes. The female is interested in the quick investigation of near and small things which may turn out a menace to the lives of her young. The female watches with intense and lively interest the vicinity of the nest or lair; the male is prompted to look abroad—away from the lair, in or towards fields where his daily prey is found. These two kinds of curiosity were among the most potent instruments in the struggle for racial existence and in the ultimate development of man. THEN HE WAS CONVINCED. The Stamp of Her Father's Boots Was His Cue to Get Away "George," she sobbed, as they sat in the gloaming in the front parlor, "you are getting tired of me!" "Tired of you, sweetheart?" he gasped, reproachfully, as he endeavored to stem the gushing tear-flood. "The stamp on your letter this morning," she continued, tearfully, "was placed upside down on the left-hand corner of the envelope, and t-that's a s-l-sign of w-waning affection." "Sweet, superstitions little girl!" smiled George. "Fancy my pet believing in such awful nonsense as the language of stamps! There's no such thing, dear. That particular stamp's position merely indicated that I was in a hurry—nothing more. Hark! What's that?" he continued, as a noise like the tramping of a metal-shod giant came from overhead. "Taat's father in his thick boots," she exclaimed. "Don't think me silly, George, but that stamp means danger."

Competition among the fishermen on the east coast of England and Scotland has resulted in a motor fishing boat of 80 tons displacement, 75 feet long, 22 feet wide, and fitted with a gasoline engine of 24 horsepower running at 300 revolutions per minute. The engine, which is used only when winds are adverse, or lacking, can give the craft a speed of five miles per hour. It does not interfere with either the storage of fish or the manipulation of sails, and replaces in its weight merely the extent that the ballast previously carried. The idea is to allow individual crews to get their catch to market as soon as do the present fleet of "drifters," who employ a steam craft to collect fish from each member of the fleet in turn. The entire catch is then hurried to port, while the fishermen remain on the ground and continue their work. If the pioneer boat fulfills its anticipated destiny a number of similar craft are expected to be built. Opium Fiends in French Navy The French naval authorities are disquited by the ravages of opium smoking among officers on duty at the seaports of Brest, Cherbourg, Lorient, Rochefort and Toulon. Many smoke from 20 to 25 pipes a day and evidently perform their duties in a perpetual drowse, acting by a sort of automatism and scarcely conscious. At Toulon especially the vice is making alarming ravages. Young officers are hardly seen at theaters or in society, but as soon as they can get off their uniforms they hasten to the dirty Chinese dens, where, stretched on coarse matting, they steep their brains in opium.

Sugar is given in England and France, two gallons of beer in Russia, half a gallon of wine in Italy, three pounds of fish in Spain, and five ounces of butter in Belgium. Early' Start Sir Oliver Lodge, whose name is famous in connection with psychical research, was put in business at the age of 14. People now demand the right to know exactly what they eat. To be told by maker or retailer that the food is "pure" is not satisfactory. Candy may contain "pure" white clay or "pure" dyes and yet be very harmful. Syrups may contain "pure" glucose and yet be quite digestible and even beneficial. Tomato catsup may contain a small amount of salicylic or boric acid as a necessary preservative, which may agree with one and be harmful to another. Wheat flour may contain a portion of corn flour and really be improved. Olive oil may be made of cotton seed oil. Butter may contain beef suet and yet be nutritious. The person who buys and eats must protect himself and family, and he has a right to, and now demands, a law under which he can make intelligent selection of food. Many pure food bills have been introduced and some passed by State legislatures; many have been offered to Congress but all thus far seem objectionable. It has seemed difficult for politicians to formulate a satisfactory bill that would protect the common people and yet avoid harm to honest makers and prevent endless trouble to retailers. No政门 commission or officer has the right to fix "food standards" to define what the people shall and shall not eat, for what agrees with one may not agree with another and such act would deprive the common citizen of his personal liberty. The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., perhaps the largest makers of prepared foods in the world, have naturally a close knowledge of the needs of the people and the details of the business of the purveyors, (the retail grocer) and, guided by this experience have prepared a bill for submission to Congress which is intended to accomplish the desired ends, and inasmuch as a citizen of the U. S. has a right to food protection even when he enters another State it is deemed proper that the gov't take control of this matter and provide a national law to govern all the states. A copy of the bill is herewith reproduced. Sec. 1 governs the maker whether the food is put up in small packages sealed, or in barrels, boxes or otherwise. Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may open a barrel and sell the food in small quantities. When he puts the goods into a paper bag he must also enclose a printed copy of the statement of the maker which was affixed to the original pkg. and inasmuch as the retailer cannot undertake to guarantee the statement of ingredients he must publish the statement of the makers and add his own name and address as a guarantee of his selling the food as it is represented to him which relieves the retailer of responsibility of the truth of the statement and throws it upon the maker, where it properly belongs. The remaining sections explain themselves. The Postmum Cereal Co., Ltd, for example, have from the beginning of its existence printed on the outside of each and every plg. of Postmum and Grape-Nuts food a truthful and exact statement of what the contents were made of in order that the consumer might know precisely what he or she was eating. A person desiring to buy, for instance, strictly pure fruit jelly and willing to pay the price has a right to expect not only an equivalent for the cost but a further right to a certainty as to what he eats. Or he may be willing to buy at less cost a jelly made part of fruit juices, sugar and a portion of glucose. But he must be supplied with truthful information of the ingredients and be permitted to use his personal liberty to select his own food accurately. The people have allowed the slow murder of infants and adults, by tricky makers of food, drink and drugs to go on about long enough. Duty to oneself, family and nation demands that every man and woman join in an organized movement to clear our people from this blight. You may not be able to go personally to Washington to impress your Congressmen, but you can, in a most effective way tell him by letter how you desire him to represent you. Remember the Congressman is in Congress to represent the people from his district and if a goodly number of citizens express their views to him, he secures a very sure guide to duty. Remember also that the safety of the people is assured by insisting that the will of the people be carried out, and not the machinations of the few for selfish interests. This pure food legislation is a pure movement of the people for public protection. It will be opposed only by those who fatten their pockets by deceiving and injuring the people. Therefore, if your Representative in Congress evades his patriotic duty hold him to strict accountability and if necessary demand equitable and honest service. This is a very different condition than when a faction demands class legislation of the Congressman. Several years ago the butter interests of the country demanded legislation to kill the oleomargarine industry and by power of organization forced class legislation really unworthy of a free people. Work people wanted beef suet butter because it was cheap and better than much unclean milk butter, but the dairy interests organized and forced the legislation. The law should have provided that piks, of oleomargarine bear the statement of ingredients and then let people who desire purchase it for just what it is, and not try to kill it by a heavy tax. Manufacturers simply try to force measures in their own interests but contrary to the interests of the people and the labor trust is always active to push through bills drafted in the interest of that trust but directly contrary to the interests of the people as a "So she married that awful Jack Rounder? Why, didn't she know that he had been blackballed by every club in town." "Yes—that's why she took him. She thought there'd be some chance of keeping him at home evenings."—Cleveland Leader. It is high finance when the law isn't smart enough to catch you.—N. Y. Press. FOOD whole. Witness the anti-injunction bill by which labor unions seek to tie the hands of our courts and prevent the issue of any order to restrain the members of that trust from attacking men or destroying property. Such a bill is perhaps the most infamous insult to our courts and the common people ever laid before Congress and the Representatives in Congress must be held to a strict accountability for their acts relating thereto. But when bills come before Congress that are drawn in the interest of all the people they should receive the active personal support of the people and the representatives be instructed by the citizens. The Senators also should be written to and instructed. If, therefore, you will remember your privilege and duty you will at once—now write to your Congressman and Senator on this pure food bill. Clip and enclose the copy herewith presented and ask them to make a business of following it through the committee considering it. Urge its being brought to a vote and requesting that they vote for it. Some oppressively intelligent and carpeting critic may say this is simply an example for Postum and Grape-Nuts. It is an example for a spoken of here in a public manner, but TEXT OF PURE FOOD BILL If it meets approval cut it out, sig representative in congress. Buy two or this.

Ask one or two friends to do the same and the chances for Pure Food will be good.

The Secretary of Agriculture shall make necessary rules and regulations for carrying out the provisions of this Act, and is hereby authorized to employ such chemists, inspectors, clerks, laborers, and other employees, as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Act and to make such publication of the results of the examinations and analysis as he may deem proper. And any manufacturer, producer or dealer who shall refuse to supply, upon application and tender and full payment of the selling price samples of such articles of food to any person duly authorized by the Secretary of Agriculture to receive the same, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be fined not exceeding one hundred dollars, or imprisoned not exceeding one hundred days, or both. Sec. 5.

Sec. 8. That this Act shall not be construed to interfere with commerce wholly internal in any State, nor with the exercise of their police powers by the several States. Sec. 9. That all acts or parts of acts inconsistent with this act are hereby repealed. Sec. 10. That this Act shall be in force and effect from and after the first day of October, nineteen hundred and six.

LAW they are used as illustrations of a manufacturer seeking by example, printing on each pkg, a truthful, exact statement of ingredients, to shame other makers into doing the fair thing by the common people, and establishing an era of pure food, but that procedure has not yet forced those who adulterate and deceive to change their methods hence this effort to arouse public sentiment and show a way out of the present condition of fraud, deceit and harm. The undersigned is paying to the publishers of America about $20,000.00 to print this announcement in practically all of the great papers and magazines, in the conduct of what he chooses to term, "an educational campaign," esteemed to be of greater direct value to the people than the establishment of many libraries.

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 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 one or the other must cease to beat. Hence the very grave importance of the question at issue, Worldly pleasure is not only inimical to the best interests of mankind in general, in that it impoverishes their condition, but it is also opposed to a “growth in grace and in the knowledge and truth as it is in Christ Jesus.” I believe the statement of the wise man in Prov. 21-17 to the effect; “He that loveth pleasure shall be poor,” is in keeping with the best and commonest logic of the age in which we live. He recognized the fact that those who chase after worldly pleasure must subscribe to a condition no less than poverty. The deplorable result of chasing after worldly pleasure, when applied to our people is enough to make the “Angels weep.” The reason we are so often sued for non-payment of rent, the reason we cannot own our own homes, the reason we can not sufficiently clad our children for secular and Sunday school, the reason we can not meet honest obligation, the reason we can not pay for our churches, the reason we can not erect and maintain more schools, the reason our commercial standing is so limited we continue day after day to repudiate common sense and civilization by seeking worldly pleasure. 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 "Horn-tooters" 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 subfuge 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 their 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 only 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. 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 Heaven's perfect jewel. Hear me! Oh my people, hear me! Our position in this country is distinctly transverse. The crisis is on. Civilization demands of the American Negro a better life, a life devoted to his own best interests and that of the 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-constituted 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 church and the race. But what do they care? Their sole aim is "high life" and personal aggrandizement. As "ecclesiastical" ambassadors, with God-given plenipotentiary power in these things, we must call a halt. We must sound an alarm. We must cease to cry peace, peace, when we see the sword. God and the people have made us their leaders, and the condition calls for faithful and intrepid men, who are not afraid to die. We must go into the thick of the fight, bringing into action the sword of the spirit and all the means with which God has blessed us, routing the devil, and completely annihilate his forts. And now, oh men of God, how shall we win this battle? It is said that judgment must begin at the house of God, and here we must begin the battle, or lose the fight. Our lips with shame confess the sins of the professed Christians and church members who are "choked to death with the pleasures of this life" (Luke 8:14), and who fail to remember that "he who lives in pleasure is dead while he liveth." I. Tim. 5:6. They have not considered James (5:5), who says: "Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter"; neither do they consider II. Timothy, third chapter, where we are informed that "in the last days periolous times shall come, for men shall be lovers of themselves and pleasure, more than lovers on God; having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." And surely they do not consider the thirty-third Psalm and twelfth verse: Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." Never since the day when four and a half million shackles were struck from our people have we been discussed as we are to-day. In almost civilized home the world over the Negro is the topic of discussion, and they are wont to discuss his bad acts rather than the good. What shall the final verdict of these discussions bring to us? Watchman, what of the hour? I said judgment must begin at the house of God. Think of a Christian indulging, and taking part in, that which he knows is a curse to both his church and his race. The heart of pleasure and the heart of Jesus Christ can not exist in the body of the church at the same time—the one or the other must die. Which shall it be, which shall it be? Why, if we do not get into the thick of the fight, soon we shall hear no Christ pulse beat to enliven the assembly of God. Who shall be blamed for such a deplorable condition should it come? Consult Ezekiel, 33:6, and hear the voice of God: "But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take away any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand." The world, which is at total enmity with God, has crept into the church and is hindering every department of the church work. We must begin a war of extermination, or see through bitter tears the church and the race sink into oblivion. We should proceed to call a general mass meeting of all the people, and set before them the great damage the church and the race sustains as the result of the young and the old alike contributing to the support of the world by pleasure. Yours in His name, 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 Negress 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 Kissing 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. E. W.
