St. Louis Palladium

ST LOUIS PALLADIUM F.B. Eng Co. k.c. BISHOP MACK, A BAPTIST DIVINE. WILLIAM DICKSON William Dickson, the subject of this sketch, was born in Norfolk, Va., in 1824, and lived there until 1865. He came to St. Louis in 1865, after enduring many hardships as a slave. He married in Richmond, Va., in 1847, three months after having bought the freedom of his intended wife, and lived with her 53 years—until her death three years ago. During slavery Mr. Dickson traveled extensively through the southern states as valet to his master. Since his arrival in this city Mr. Dickson has held numbers of good positions. The number of years he held each speaks well for him as a steady and reliable man. He was employed as porter under Postmaster-General Fuller; then with a commission firm, Benton & Thompson, on Second, near Market, where he remained eleven years. His next place of employment was the Orphans' Mission home, on Ninth and Wash; here he remained 13 years. At each place the best of recommendations were given him. He also held a position with the Safe Deposit bank, 513 Locust street, under Mr. J. W. Bell, for ten years. He was afterward employed by President F. J. Wade of the Mercantile Trust Co. Falling in health, because of age, he was compelled to give up this last position. He became totally blind, and was for months confined to the hospital. Mr. Dickson's employers speak of him in the highest terms. They found in him the elements of true and honest manhood. When Mr. Dickson speaks of the long friendship and generosity of Mr. Wade, Col. Bell and Mr. Rabin. IT IS JUST LIKE EATING AT HOME. New Century, 2315 Market St. H. S. Ferguson, Manager. BILL OF FARE. SUNDAY, APRIL 1. SOUP—CHICKEN AND RICE. ROASTS. Prime Rib of Beef, Brown Gravy.

If You Are Pleased Tell Your Friends --- to not only him, but many others of our race, his utterances are those of a man who delights to speak of their goodness. As we have often said, if it were not for the goodness of thousands of white men, our race would have been blotted off the earth. God grant there may be many more like those who befriended Mr. Dickson. In 1866 Mr. Dickson bought a home next to the old Compton Hill church, at which place he lived until 1891, when he sold out and bought a home at 2738 Caroline, where he now resides. Mr. Dickson is now 82 years of age, and with his eyesight much improved, is as active as a young man. He is a member of the Prince Hall Lodge No. 1 of the Masons for 40 years, the first order west of the Mississippi. No one knows him but to respect and honor him. The writer has known him for 39 years, and during that time he has been known only as one of our best citizens and friends. FAREWELL TESTIMONIAL. Douglass hall was crowded to the doors Tuesday evening with an audience composed of the elite of St. Louis's society. The occasion was the farewell testimonial to Blue's concert band. The "standing room only" sign was displayed before the concert began, and the music was enjoyed by several hundred persons standing on their feet. The programme was excellent, each number being heartily applauded, especially the address by Prof. James L. Usher, the solo by Mrs. Perle Alexander-Hutt and the grand sextette, "Lucia Di Lammermoor," by members of the Evening Choral society. The most hearty applause of the evening, however, was in response to a short speech made by Mr. James W. Grant, originator and manager of the series of concerts just terminated, in which he thanked the ladies and gentlemen attending for their appreciation of his efforts to elevate the musical taste of the community, and for the help and encouragement that their presence gave. A large number of the younger persons remained to dance, and the consensus of opinion from both old and young was to the effect that it was one of the most successful affairs attempted in recent years. This community is greatly indebted to Mr. Grant for his public-spiritedness and energy. STILL VERY SICK Mr. Walton, of 4121 Lexington avenue, is very sick at this writing. He is one of the G. A. R. who pressed forward in the civil war defending his country. Let us hope that if he passes into the Great Beyond God will reward him. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1906. IN MEMORIAM. "She is not dead—the child of our affection— But gone unto that school Where she no longer needs our poor protection. And_Christ Himself doth rule." The poet's ideal, so beautifully expressed, has found its realization in the recent departure from our midst of one whose virtues of mind and heart had endeared her to all within the circle of her influence. She is not dead, although she has passed "the portals of the life elysian," that higher, brighter sphere. "Still do we walk with her, and keep unbroken, the bond affection gives," and thus recognizing the worth and enduring influence of our late associate and friend, Mrs. Adele Evans, we, the officers and members of the Informal Dames, desire to record our high appreciation and esteem for our late companion; therefore be it Resolved, That while we bow with submission to the decree of the loving All Father in removing to another life the well-beloved one, we still recognize the gentle influence of her presence among us here. Resolved, That though young in years, she exhibited in her life, and during her protracted illness, an example of patience and fortitude as beautiful as it was rare. Resolved, That, inspired by her bright example, we emulate her virtues, and ever hold in loving remembrance her beautiful character and gentle ways. Resolved, That a copy of these expressions of loving regard be presented to the bereaved family, and a copy also be preserved in the archives of the Informal Dames, and that one also be published in our several weekly journals. Respectfully submitted. MRS, F. J. ROBERSON, Pres., Committee Informal Dames. THE TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH. The Undenominational Alliance met at the Tabernacle Baptist Church last Monday. Nothing of importance was conducted. New ministers were introduced. Rev. W. B. Stewart presided over the meeting. The Memphis man was not there, but old Satan was. We hope that when men read resolutions from Memphians they will study the people before they read it. Give us men who have common sense. The paper read by Rev. Mace was very good, but the older heads towered high above the younger preacher's. We were glad to have Rev. Adam S. Green give his views on the paper, also Rev. D. Cushion, of Rock Island. Several ministers spoke, among them Revs. Parr, Venable, Golsby, Steward and Cobron. The good sisters set a splendid repast and all enjoyed it. When they sat down they evidently thought they were at a picnic. They paid no attention to the men of God. We noticed two sisters who sat on the west side of the table and who did most of the talking. Look out, my dear sisters. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. At the regular business meeting of the First Baptist church, Monday night, 26 letters of withdraway were granted to members for the purpose of organizing a missionary Baptist church, to be known as the Thessalonian Baptist church, situated on the corner of Jefferson and Scott. The First church inquired as to the name and location of the proposed church before granting the letters of withdrawal. Quite an additional number of members desiring letters of withdrawal were unable to secure them, owing to the lateness of the hour. AT REST. Mr. Roy Smith, of 1742 North Twelfth street, died March 24. He was a devoted Christian and an active member of Chambers Street Baptist church, and one of the B. Y. P. U. He will be buried from that church Sunday, April 1, by the Knights of Tabor. DAISY WARE COMING.

Blue's concert band concret given at Douglass hall last Tuesday reflected great credit on Mr. Blue. He conducted the entertainment better than ever before. Mr. J. W. Grant and all connected did things as they could not have been done in other hands. Miss Hattie Powell, of Greenville, Ill., made a flying trip to this city, arriving Saturday and leaving Monday. She attended St. Paul's church Sunday and heard a very able sermon delivered by Rev. Cook. Miss Powell stopped with Mrs. Alice Jones, of 315 South Twenty-second street. Miss Caroline M. Anderson, of 324 South Compton, was one of the successful prize winners in the contest offered by F. J. Smith, at 1012 Olivy street. Many persons were interested in the contest.

It was of no value to you, and you would have been one dollar the richer. CONVENTION AT PACIFIC, MO. The Sunday School convention met with the Sunday school of the First Baptist church of Pacific, Mo. We were glad to have the pleasure of meeting this convention. It was both profitable and enjoyable. It was welcomed by the older folk, and from the large attendance it would be inferred that they desire their children to assist in the upbuilding of this work. To say that we love each other is to repeat what you already know. "Out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaketh." Hence by loving one another and co-operating it will enable us to bring our Sunday school up to a standard of unusual excellence. But we know that God's hand is always leading us, and the same wise purpose that causes the shadows to fall also makes the sun shine, and the darker the shadows the brighter the sunshine. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH We are glad to announce that Mr. Dover, of 3924 Sophia avenue, is still coming to the front. Several years ago he opened a buffet at the above number, with not more than $80 worth of goods in his business, and his place was little more than a country place. But now, with business tact and great ability have enabled him to increase his business from $80 to $1,000 worth of stock. There are only two or three Colored men in the saloon business who carry as large a stock as Mr. Dover. He has every kind of drink, from the mildest to the sparkling champagne. Mr. Dover conducts a quiet and peaceful buffet. In a few more years he will be another G. W. Holt, George S. Williams or W. T. Curtis. If you want to be convinced, go and see. Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins, of 7200 North Broadway, were very much surprised last Saturday evening when a number of young people visited them. A very merry time was spent. Singing and dancing, with many games, helped to pass a pleasant evening. Refreshments were served at an early hour, and the guests departed for their homes. Those present were: Misses Lizzie Wilson, Hattie James, Annie James and M. E. Mosley, Mr. and Mrs. White, Mr. Fuggett and W. W. Young. At 2617 Lawton avenue, two bedroom sets, two beds, two washstands and two dressers, a cooking stove, also four pillows, three bedspreads, eight pillow-cases and sheets.

F. Hall, yet the weather was very bad, but the hall was crowded. The affair was a success. Mrs. Annie Hallam and her officers deserve credit for their work. We noticed many officers and members from other temples. Mrs. Hattie Williams, W. P. of Elizabeth Temple; Miss Jessie Miller, W. P. of Ruth Temple; Mrs. Sadie Harris, W. P. of St. Louis Temple; Mrs. Mary Monroe, the captain of the drill company, and many others. Prof. Flower's string band furnished music. The Sir Knights were out, and many brothers of different lodges. A pleasant reception was tendered Miss Bell, of Shelbyville, Ky., by Mrs. Bozman, of $2617\frac{1}{2}$ Wash street. The affair was very pleasant and all enjoyed themselves to their hearts' content. Many friends of Mrs. Bozman were present and assisted in making things pleasant for the Kentucky lady. We are pleased to say that Miss Bell will long remember her visit to our old St. Louis and the many friends she met. She left last Saturday, March 24, for her Kentucky home. Strange as it is, the presence of Miss Bell left a lasting impression on her entertainers, and they were very sad when she left. We hope to meet this fair Kentuckian again in the city of St. Louis or her old Kentucky home. PROGRESSIVE LAUNDRY 2313 Market Street. A new steam laundry will be opened in a few days by Mason & Mason. It was years ago that St. Louis claimed a steam laundry operated by Colored men, and now this is the only one of its kind, the public should show its appreciation by giving them their patronage. It is a well-known fact that during the past eight years numbers of men and women of our race have come to this city and have established every kind of laudable business and met with success. Mr. Mason has been in the city for twenty years. We sincerely hope the public will favor him with their patronage. THE FUNERAL OF MRS. CURTIS. The funeral of Mrs. Harriet Curtis, wife of A. W. Curtis, was held at the First Baptist church of Pacific, Mo. March 21, at 11 a. m. Services were conducted by Rev. R. H. Brown, pastor. The deceased was born August 14, 1855, and was married February 13, 1876. She lived a happy and prosperous life until she departed, March 19, 1906. She is survived by a husband, four sons, four daughters and a host of relatives and friends who mourn her loss. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH NEG- GRO PAPERS? We were informed that a few days ago a certain sum of money was taken up to have a sermon printed in the Globe-Democrat. The money, over $7, was given to a certain Negro, who claims to publish a paper. We want to know the full particulars. Answer.

Atlanta, Ga.—The opening meeting of the two days’ session of the Blue and Gray state organizations was held here Wednesday, with the expectation that to-day will see the formation of a na- tonal organization which will perpetu- ate, without distinction between north ‘nf south, the memory of those who fought on either side in that memora- ble conflict. A score of stetes were represented by nearly 600 veterans, who listened to addresses from the viewpoint of those who wore both un- forms. The utmost harmony prevailed. The principal address was that of “Corporal” Tanner, commander-in-chicf of the Grand Army of the Republic. Other addresses were made by Col. A. M. Clark, of North Carolina, and Capt. John C. Brian, who commanded several vessels in the confederate service and who had the distinction of being the last prisoner held by the north to be released.

BRANDT ROBBERY STORY St. Louis Police Characterize tae Story Told By Miss Nina Resnik an deceens “St. Louis—Miss Nina Virginia Brandt, daughter of Dr. J. L. Brandt, pastor of the First Christian church, this city, whose mysterious disappear- ance from St. Louis last Saturday, after she had cashed a check for $288.50, has excited her relatives and friends, left Las Vegas, N. M., for the east at 1a. m. Wednesday, in company with her father and Assistant Circuit Attorney Don Sommers. Miss Brandt claims she was robbed in St. Louis. Prompted by sympathy for Miss Brandt and the mental ccn- dition, which they believe she is in, Acting Chief of Police Gillaspy and Chief of Detectives Desmond decline to theorize on her story of the rob- bery. “It is absolutely absurd,” they said.

Spa BATTLESHIP NEW JERSEY 5 pidiasned speed of lous mogoae ae per Pesce wiaer Boston—The splendid _perform- ance, Thursday, of the battleship New Jersey, in maintaining a speed of 19.18 knots an hour in a four-hour endur- ance run off the New England coast, coupled with her remarkable speed, Wednesday, over a measured mile off Rockland, Me., at a 19.48-knot-an-hour gait, places this product of the Fore River Shipbuilding Co. at the head of all American-built battleships, so far as speed is concerned. It was ascertained on her standard- ization trial, off Rockland, that an av- erage revolution of her propellers of 125.53. per minute was sufficient to drive the 15,000-ton battleship through the water at her contract speed of 19 knots an hour. ‘Thursday her average revolutions per minute reached 126.297, and from these figures the trial board announced that she had made an average of 19.18 knots an hour, compared with 19.01 made by the Rhode Island and 19.00 by the Virginia, sister ships, at their trials a few months ago. At one time the New Jersey's speed reached 19.278 knots an hour for a period of 15 minutes, while her lowest for a similar period was 18.960. ‘The weather conditions were favor- able. Shortly after the conclusion of the run the minor tests of turning, stopping and full speed astern were held and pronounced by the trial board to be successful. _ Friedman Loan and Mercantile Co.

HEAD CYCLE COMPANY. Dept. "JL" CHICAGO, IL 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.

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 $8.50 Regular Price $8.50 per pair. To Introduce We Will Sell You a Sample Pair for Only (CASH WITH ORDER $4.55) NO MORE TROUBLE FROM PUNCTURES. with weekly white papers of this country. Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispuse news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and brilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW. The St. Louis Palladium has more subscribers than any other two Negro papers in the state of Missouri. We have more business men and women that advertise in The Palladium than any four Negro papers in the west.

The Best Missouri News Preparing for the Strike. Preparations are being made by both operators and miners all over the southwest in anticipation of the great coal strike April 1. The merchants of Rich Hill and adjoining coal camps have been complaining for two months about poor business. The miners are all expecting to strike, and are saving every cent they make with the exception of the little spent for groceries. The operators, on the other hand, are running their mines on full time, mining and storing all the coal possible. Silver Found Near Springfield. Silver has been discovered in paying quantities in the hills near Valley Mills, three miles northeast of Springfield, according to a report made by W. D. Bailey of Oakland, Cal., a former United States assayer. The white metal is in quantities that will realize $1,700 to the ton. The same mineral contains lead to the amount of 120 pounds to the ton, a value of $9. A shaft already has been sunk to a depth of 30 feet, and 8 feet of ore is now exposed. Fighting Drainage Canal. Judge Daniel Cresop, a farmer and stock raiser near Rich Hill, appeared before the county court of Bates county and filed objections to the issuance of a warrant for $6,075 assessed against the county by the court in anticipation of the benefits to be derived from the digging of the drainage canal. Sixty prominent land owners had previously appeared before the court and filed their objections to the proposed assessment. Judge Calls It Gambling. Judge Calls It Gambling. Robert N. Nash, formerly county clerk, and candidate for the democratic nomination for sheriff at St. Joseph, was fined $25 in the criminal courtjt for conducting a gambling department in a cigar store owned by him. The evidence showed that no money was on the table, but that the players won and lost cigars only. The court held, however, that this was a technical vioation of the law. Higher State Assessment. The returns made by the various assessors of the state to the state board of equalization show the total assessed valuation of the real and personal property of the state for taxes for 1906 to be $1,241,635,357, which is an increase of nearly $72,000,000 over last year. This vast increase comes from the increased valuations placed upon the property by the assessors. Policeman Acquitted of Killing. A verdict of justifiable homicide was returned by the coroner's jury in the case of Thomas Murphy, alias Moore, of Vinita, I. T., who was killed in a pistol duel with Policeman John Wimberly at Springfield. John McMartin, the old man who was thought to have been a companion of Murphy, and who was taken into custody soon after the killing, is held for investigation. Steuck Oil at Sheffield. Oil has been struck at the depth of 380 feet on the grounds of the Urie-Snider Iron works near Sheffield. A vein of oil sand thirty-one feet in depth has been struck and the prospectors expect a large flow of oil. The well is near the Kansas City Boll and Nut works where a good quantity of oil has been struck. Blees Cadets Aid Macon Students. The Blees Military academy cadets generously offered to present a farce comedy of their own at the theater at Macon for the benefit of the students of the Macon Central school, who lost their books in the fire. Many of the children attending the Central school are poor. The loss on books averaged about $16 to the student. A Call for Bank Statements. Secretary of State Swanger has issued a call to all the state and private banks and trust companies of Missouri for a statement of their financial condition on March 20, 1906.

The proposition carried by more than 10 to 1. Nest of Tarantulas Found. While cutting bananas from a bunch at her restaurant at Neosho, Mrs. E. M. Brown was stung in the ball of her thumb by a tarantula. Her whole arm swelled up in a few minutes. The taranula was killed, together with thousands of young ones, by spraying ammonia over them. Justice of Peace Kills Himself. George W. Wilcox, a justice of the peace and prominent citizen of Madison, committed suicide at his office by firing bullet into his brain. School Building Burns at Macon. Fire broke out at midnight in the new and handsome Central school building at Macon, burning it to the ground. So much headway had the blaze gained before being discovered that entrance to the building was impossible. Maj. H. S. Glaze, a member of the school board, was suffocated by the flames and smoke in an attempt to enter. The building was of pressed brick and stone and erected during the summer of 1904 at a cost of $38,000 and was one of the finest public school buildings in Missouri. There are ten weeks more school. The board expects to arrange temporary quarters and push the work of a new building. Seventeen teachers were employed in the building. Total loss is estimated at $45,000. Kansas City Woman Shoots. Mrs. Ida Donielson, a boarding house keeper of Kansas City, while entertaining a party of friends at dinner, became enraged at a remark of E. C. Harris, a boarder, and shot and killed him. Harris had made a remark about Mrs. Donielson, to which C. C. Riggins, the woman's nephew, took exception. The men quarreled. Riggins and his wife finally went for a policeman, and while they were gone Mrs. Donielson killed Harris. Afterward Mrs. Donielson said she shot Harris in self defense, and later she told the police that the shooting was accidental. There were no witnesses to the tragedy. Mrs. Donielson was arrested but later discharged without even a hearing. Court Sustains Issue of Bonds. Chillicothe scored a victory when Circuit Judge J. W. Alexander at Gallatin denied C. H. O'Neill, manager of the City Water company, an injunction restraining the city council from selling the $100,000 bonds which the city voted for the erection and operation of a combined water and light plant. The court heid that the allegations made by the plaintiff and the facts submitted were not sufficient to warrant the issuance of an injunction. A Confectioner's Hoarded Wealth. While taking an inventory of the stock of goods in the store of Bud McDonald, the East Sedalia confectioner, who died recently, a halfbushel measure nearly filled with old copper pennies was found secreted under a counter. There were 8,400 coins of the face value of $84. Mr. McDonald's widow also learned that he had $1,100 on deposit in a local bank and $40,000 in bonds, of which she had no previous knowledge. The Hermit Fisherman Dead. The Hermit Fisherman Dead.

Switzerland's exports of machinery and implements in 1904 are valued at about $9,500,000. Electrical machinery and machines used for weaving, knitting and embroidering were the principal items. As this little country has no iron or coal, but must import the heavy materials by railroads, the exportation of machinery speaks well for its industrial skill. The American financial condition was so easy in 1905 that we were able to import $648,000,000 worth of durable foreign goods, an excess over 1904 of $103,000,000, and over 1903 of $98,000,000; at the same time our imports of free goods amounted to $530,000,000, an excess over 1904 of $40,000,000 and over 1903 of $93,000,000. Together, those increases in 1905 over 1904 amounted to $143,000,000. According to the government report, the United States consumed last year about one-fourth of the sugar production of the world. Nearly all the sugar brought into this country is produced from cane, and the United States consumes fully one-half of the cane sugar produced in the world. Cane sugar is forming at present a larger proportion of the world's sugar supply than during 1890-1902. There has been a remarkable increase this year in exports to Japan. In ten months the exports to China have been $50,000,000, compared with $20,000,000 last year, and to Japan the total for the same time has jumped from $22,000,000 to $46,000,000. Our Pacific ferriage to those countries is direct and Europe cannot hope to compete with it in distance and cheapness. Our foreign commerce of the calendar year just closed reached the gigantic total of $2,806,000,000, by far the largest year's business in the history of American foreign commerce, and $1,145,000,000 more than in 1896. The balance of trade in our favor arising out of our foreign commerce of 1905 was $47,603,000, and that for the last four years exceeds $1,743,000,000, an average of almost $436,000,000 a year, equal to nearly $1,500,000 a day for 300 working days in each year. FOOD · HELPS In Management of a R. R. Speaking of food a railroad man says: "My work puts me out in all kinds of weather, subject to irregular hours for meals and compelled to eat all kinds of food. "For 7 years I was constantly troubled with indigestion, caused by eating heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy, poorly cooked food, such as are most accessible to men in my business. Generally each meal or lunch was followed by distressing pains and burning sensations in my stomach, which destroyed my sleep and almost unfitted me for work. My brain was so muddy and foggy that it was hard for me to discharge my duties properly. "This lasted till about a year ago, when my attention was called to Grape-Nuts food by a newspaper ad. and I concluded to try it. Since then I have used Grape-Nuts at nearly every meal and sometimes between meals. We railroad men have little chance to prepare our food in our cabooses and I find Grape-Nuts mighty handy, for it is ready cooked. "To make a long story short, Grape-Nuts has made a new man of me. I have no more burning distress in my stomach, nor any other symptom of indigestion. I can digest anything so long as I eat Grape-Nuts, and my brain works as clearly and accurately as an engineer's watch, and my old nervous troubles have disappeared entirely" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

If Whittaker, Clem and the remainder of the editorial staff of the Vindicator would keep silent and wait for results they might learn something of worth. The Palladium has put its thunder in the proper place, not out of malice, but in the interest of common decency and Negro womanhood, and Vernon's chances for the registership are about as good as the Vindicator's chances are to become the leading American Journal. What's the matter with First Baptist church? It is reported that 26 members asked for letters of dismissal last Monday night, and some of them are among the best washerwomen of the church, and some have been members over a quarter of a century. These people came out for the purpose of organizing another church, and it is rumored that they have secured the German Lutheran Evangelical church, on the corner of Jefferson and Scott. The very location of this church seems to be a guarantee of success to begin with. Reporters of the Palladium are especially requested not to attempt to insert articles in the Palladium expressing a contradictory opinion concerning any person about whom the manager has published his opinion Should these articles be published it would subject the Palladium to great criticism and ridicule. A paper is expected to take but one stand on any question, and two articles expressing different opinions would be greatly inconsistent. In our article, "How the Police Board Might Improve Conditions," we do not mean to cast reflection upon the colored men from any particular city. In reference to the dives we do not insinuate against saloons conducted by respectable men of our race. We simply refer to the lowest of dives. W. T. Vernon, when asked by the father of the woman he wronged why he acted in that manner, replied: "I lost control of myself." If that be the case, Brother Vernon should be in the cotton patch, where there are only men of his stripe, and where no harm could be done.

He was about the color of the Palladium man, and he always considered himself a ginger-cake color or a black man. What became of the money raised at St. Paul church? Who got it? We are informed that it has stopped on the way. Two doctors investigated the case. They were sent as a committee to see the Globe-Democrat. There's a "Nigger" in the wood-pile some place and the Palladium is going to smoke him out. The mothers who dress their girls beyond their means are only sowing the seed of future trouble. We will wager a gold dollar that in less than two weeks some girl and man will be in the holdover at the Four Courts We are going to clean out this class of brutes. Birds of a feather will flock together. We see them daily. Girls that are supposed to be of good character and pure can be seen in company with girls as common as human beings get to be. The girls that are always desiring to go to Chicago or New York and haven't a dollar to their name, but expect to go in the care of some railroad porter, are not the girls to adorn society. How schoolgirls can spend three hours at a skating rink and one hour at the telephone at some drug store and then go home at 12 o'clock at night is something the good people can't understand. Some people have always got their mit out asking for something, invariable asking for money, and when it is not given they say, "I woll not like you." Such like or love belongs to the common and vulgar. We don't want it. CAPTAIN TANDY Capt. C. H. Tandy, of 1224 Bayard avenue, is duly authorized by the grand master to make rates for the U. B.

On Sunday, March 25, services were well attended, and the congregation were well pleased with the services conducted by the pastor, Rev. S. P. Anderson. The morning lesson was taken from the 115th Psalm. The congregation afterward listened to an excellent sermon from Romans, 8th chapter, 16th verse, by Rev. J. C. Crushon, formerly pastor of the Second Baptist church at Rock Island, Ill. At 8 p. m. Rev. A. J. Lacy preached to quite a large audience. Mrs. Francis Hunt, president of the B. Y. P. U., is doing very nicely in building up the Union, but she needs and ought to have the support of more of the members. Let us do our duty in that direction. This is a young people's meeting, and they are expected to attend. Friends, do not miss the grand literary and musical concert given at Antioch church, Monday, April 2, by the Piano club, for the benefit of the Sunday school. Admission 10 cents. Come one, come all. Mrs. Carrie Floyd, president; Miss Madeline McKinney, secretary. At the Sunday school meeting Sunday the school was divided into clubs for the purpose of raising money to pay off the debt on the piano. Clubs are to report quarterly. Miss La Belle Edwards and Mrs. W. T. Smith, captains. THE DUTY OF A NEWSPAPER. The manager of the Palladium has been most severely criticized for the persistence with which he publishes articles, displaying the corruptness of many of our so-called best (?) people. What some of our race desires is the "squashing" of any incident detrimental to its so-called leaders, because of the class to which they belong. sires is the ent detri- ers, because elong. o the duty c gains its rough the and it ex- DEAD BEATS. COFFIN The question arises as to the duty of a newspaper. The public gains its knowledge of the world through the columns of its newspapers and it expects truth from them. It is the height of injustice to cater to an individual, because of the class into which he has been fortunate enough to intrude himself. To a race attempting to climb the ladder of public's good opinion, and reach the pinnacle of success in being recognized as a race worthy of a chance, the exposure of any person whose morals are not what they ought to be is just as essential as the removal of a rotten apple from a barrel of good ones. We expect more from our enlightened and educated people. We could excuse an immoral act on the part of an ignorant person on the plea of his ignorance. The Palladium is not seeking notoriety through scathing articles, it is simply trying to print the truth without consideration of class or favor. It has been in vogue since 1883, and the manager is too well versed in the laws of journalism to publish an article criticizing any person without proof of its authenticity. He knows whereof he speaks. Next week, the public will hear some more scathing news. WEBSTER GROVES NOTES Mr. Powell, beloved husband of Mrs. Powell, departed this life at the city hospital last Tuesday. His remains were laid to rest at St. Peter's cemetery. Rev. Purnell conducted the funeral service. The floral offerings were large. He leaves a wife, one son, four stepsons and two stepdaughters to mourn his loss. The rally given last Sunday was quite a success. The collection amounted to $37.45. Rev. Purnell preached in the morning and Rev. Cohron at 2:30 p. m. At 3:30 p. m. Rev. Godridge raised money enough to receive the umbrella. Mr. Arthur Simms was seen in Webster last Sunday, looking as fat as ever. INFORMATION WANTED.

It contains no strong, dangerous chemicals that can in any way injure the hair. You can use it just as long as you wish, or stop it any time without any bad effects. It does not affect the color of the hair. Nelson's Hair Dressing softens harsh, stubborn, refractory hair, prevents it from breaking, and helps you to do it in any style consistent with its length at the same time giving it that rich, glossy look so much desired. As a Hair Grower we consider Nelson's Hair Dressing the equal of anything made. It supplies the needed oil directly to the roots of the hair, softens and invigorates the scalp, thereby removing dandruff and promoting the growth of the hair. Stops the hair from falling out, breaking off and splitting at the ends, which is nearly always due to lack of natural oil in the hair. Nelson's Hair Dressing is an excellent remedy for all kinds of Scalp Diseases such as Titter, Itching and Scaling of the Scalp, Dandruff, &c. Nelson's Hair Dressing is delightfully perfumed; put up in handsome 4-ounce square tin boxes (like one shown in cut), and sold everywhere by druggists and agents at 25 cents a box.

ZIMMERMESS at SARAH AND FINNEY PROMOTES THE GROWTH OF THE HAIR PREVENTS IT FROM SPLITTING AND BREAKING OFF TO IMPROVE THE ARM. Elbow May Be Roundéd by Rubbing Ima Fattening Cream and Work- ing Round and Round. First to round out the arm. ‘This is oot a difficult matter, and the amateur masseuse need have no misgivings in working on her own arm, for she can- oot create wrinkles by giving wrong movements, as she can when she at- compts to work on her face without a knowledge of the art. If you must do your own-manipulat- ing, begin with the fingers, grasping zach one with the fingers of the othe: and and working from the tip up- ward, as if you were working on 2 glove. Have the palm of the hand that Is doing the exercise thickly cov- ered with a fattening cream, such as this one: Lanoline, 30 grams; tannin, one-half gram; oil of sweet almonds, 20 grams. Melt the lanoline and oi, Poa a Goes 4 Lom 5 VA an RNS Sane aieSaNGLES Stirring till thoroughly mingled. As the mixture cools beat in the tannin. After each finger has been worked on the palm and back of the hand ar massaged again, using the same strok- ing movement with which one puts oa a glove. Now for the forearm: Grasp it at the wrist with the fingers of the other hand, and with-a twisting, wring Ing motion work slowly and firmly up- ward to the elbow. Another move: ment for the forearm is done by lay- ing the hand palm downward and moving the flesh of the forearm quick- ly from side to side. A quick series of little slapping movements will help ‘bring the blood to the surface, and it must be remembered that in massag- ing the arms all the movements go up- ward with pressure and the downward motion is merely a soothing stroke. ‘The elbow is rounded out by rub- bing in as much of the fattening cream as the skin will absorb and then working the palm of the hand round and round the sharp point as if one were literally modeling an elbow out of soft clay. ‘The upper part of the arm is made plump by the same movements as ar? used in fattening the forearm, only the movements are executed with even greater vigor. AN ECONOMY CONTEST. ‘This Is in the Nature of a Protest = Against Over-Elaborate Lunch- eons and Dressing. An economy contest between four housekeepers is full of interest. It all came about in talking over the extrava- gance and work connected with enter- ‘taining, and how the true spirit of hos- pitality seemed to have been overtooked in the mad rush and endeavor of each hostess to have a little more, or things a litle different in comparison with Mrs. "So-and-So.” ‘Then it was agreed that each one would give a luncheon, the cost for the four not to exceed one dollar; that they would wear wash gowns, not to exceed two dollars in cost—that is, for the material—and they would bring their sewing, while one of the fou would read aloud for an hour; each ‘one was to relate some current news item or relate some interesting event Gossip in the strict sense of the word was to be tabooed. Meetings were to be held once in two weeks. This fs certainly a step int the right direction. Let us hope thors will be more Econ- omy Clubs. MADAME MERRL Chest and Chin Up. A beauty doctor gives it as her opin- fon that the time-honored maxim to “hold your shoulders back” is a mis- take, “Forget your shoulders,” is her advice. “Keep your chest and chin up and your shoulders will take care of themselves.” Another authority says that it never did her the least good to be told to hold herself upright until some one suggested to her to imagine that her chest was suspended from a cord. That mental ppicture of her ch®st held up, supported in air by artificial means, did more for her than all the admonitions and will power in the world. Five-Minute Nap. Every housewife should cultivate the habit of five-minute naps. After working hard a few hours a woman is apt to feel sleepy or “dragged out,” and imagines that it i# only that or- cinary sin of the flesh—laziness. But if she gives in to the feeling and rests for a short time on a comfortable lounge she will feel wonderfully fresh- ened and will do better and quicker work than if she had foregone her cat £2p. ‘Throw Away the Fine Comb. ©The use of a fine comb should be se- yerely frowned uporf. It irritates the gontp ep? causes dandruff to form, DO NOT BE SO TENSE. Let the Lips Lightly Touch, Not Ba Compressed, and Practice Tak- ing Perfect Rests. Resting the mouth is very impor- tant. Your lips should lightly touch each other, but should not be com- pressed. Your teeth should not be ground together, as is the habit of most people, You should not pull the upper lip down or do anything that distorts the mouth. Take a looking glass and examine your mouth. Be sure that you know how. to rest yoar lips. ‘Then learn how to rest your head. This, too, requires some knack. In walking the head should rest well back upon the neck. It should never be thrust forward. In sitting it should take the easiest position possible, and if convenient, it should rest against a cushion or the back of a chair. There ought to be more high backed chairs in the world, The head ought to be rested more than it is. = Resting the back is very’ important. Most women have a backache simply because they cannot rest the back. Men usually sit in comfortable chairs. Desk and office furniture, though it pe stift and heavy, is really very comfortable. A cood desk seat is the most comfortable thing in the world. Often the chair revolves, giving one a chance to rest one’s muscles. One can turn this way or that, revolve so as to [keep away from the light and turn ia |such a manner that the rays strike [one’s book just right. But with wom- en's furniture it is different. Noth- ing is really comfortable. The woman's resting chair siould be low enough for her to touch. her feet to the ground; it should be lo- cated where it is just bright enough. Few women have the room light enough during the day. They sit and poke along in the dark. Few women have nice, cozy, bright comfortable reading desk, and few indeed, have the right kind of a sewing room. In a handsome home on Long Island there is a linen closet that is as a linen closet ought to be. It is 12 feet square, has two windows, and is papered in a comfortable buff. Its chairs are high-backed sewing chairs, and there are foot-stools. The room is scented with lavender and there are low shelves and plenty of them, for the linen. Such a room, if converted into a sewing room, would be ideal. Learn to rest your body all over. Then practice resting for five or ten minutes three or four times a day. Pretty soon the habit will become strong on you and you will rest al) the time. “Taking the perfect rest cure wil) seem worth while to you when you discover how it rids you of headaches and other ills. Just try it for a few weeks and see how you feel, DAINTY CASE FOR MUSIC. ‘Not Infrequently the Musician Wants Something Fancy to Carry Music Roll of an Evening.

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Strengthen the Stomach and Enable It to Ds ita Winek: When tho stomach is feeble the food lies in it undigested, decays and throws off poisonous gases that distend the walls of the stomagb and cause inter- ference with other organs, especially with the action of the heart aud lungs. ‘Those gases have other ill effects. The nerves and the brain are disturbed and discomforts such as dizziness, hot flashes, sleeplessness, irritabloness and despoudency originate'from this source. eevee asics shows that these troubles vanish just as soon as the stomach is made strong enough to digest the food. In other words, it needs a tonic that will rouse it to do the work of changing the food into nourishment. ‘Miss Minerva ©. Ladd, of Ipswich, Mass., says: “I had a weal stomach from ‘the time I was a little child. Whenever I took hearty food it would cause terrible faintness, and I would finally vomit what I had caten.e At times there would be the most intense pains through the upper part of my body. For day in snocession, I would have to lie down most of the time. ‘The distress was often so great that I conid hardly bear it, and the frequent and violent ‘belching spells were very disagreeable, too. “My doctor's raedicines gave melittle relief and it was not until I tried Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills that I found a cure. Within three weeks a decided improve: ment was noticeable. The belching spells were less frequent, the pains through my body were not so intense, my food was retained and after foking the pills for a few weeks longer I founc that I was altogether free from the miseries I had so long suffered.” ‘Every dyspeptic should read “ What to Bat aud How toEat.”” Write the Dr. Williams Medicine Oo., Schenectady, N.

BY REV. WILLIAM EVANS, B. D. @irector Biblical Department of ‘the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago; Ofi- cial Lecturer of the Cook County (Chicago) Sunday School Asso- ciation on the International a 6 tenes. eRe en eee ene Se eee eee eee eee Scripture Lesson: Matthew 7:15-29. Warning Against False Teachers. Tt should not seem strange to any student of the Bible that there should be found within the ranks of Christian- ity men who, though outwardly wearing its garb, yet inwardly ars traitors to its cause. Christ Himself predicted such a condition of things. The traitor in the guise of the pa- triot, the “wolf in sheep's clothing,” Is to be looked for. Christianity must be on the constant lookout for its Benedict Arnold. Traitors Within Its Own Camp. We are not to look for these false teachers within the ranks of in- fidelity, but in the pulpit, the pro- fessor's chair, the theological sem: inary, tif® university. The very places which should stand for the defense and purity. of the Christian faith are to be watched for its most bitter and effective enemies. Contemptible be- yond degree is that man who, pos- {ugas anexponentand defender of Chris- tlan truth is yet traitorous to that faith; who, by false teaching, is under- mining the very foundations of the faith of those who by their sacrifices and gifts are his daily support. That a man has a right, manward, to be- lieve and teach what he bolleves to be truth should be acknowledged, but let him not occupy the chair in a Christian institution, nor the pulpit in @ Christian chruch in order to de- stroy the very things that chair and that pulpit eall upon him to sacrediy defend. Benedict Arnold was a gen- Hleman compared to this class of mea —he got out of the camp and went over to the British. Let some of our preachers and theological professors have the honesty and character enough to get out of the ranks of the churca the moment they find themselves to Le out of accord with its doctrinal teach- ing and spirit. True Teaching to Be Known by Its Fruits. ‘What fruits are produced by such false teaching? Uncertainty; unbe- Uef; doubt of the veracity of the Bible revelation; denial of the resurrection of Christ, His Deity, and redeeming work; disbelief in the immortality of the soul. Are these the fruits which should be produced by the men who profess to represent the truth of God as it is in Jesus Christ? By such fruits ye shall know them—know that they are false. A Message to Individual Christians. ‘This lesson sounds a solemn note of warning to every Christian, great anJ small. It seems to assert the fact that there is the possibility, yea, the certainty, of some peopie waking up in the resurrection morning sadly dis- appointed. * They thought they were saved; now they find out they ar: not. ‘Three surprises may be in store for us in the Judgment day: We shall be surprised to see many people in Heaven whom we did not expect (0 see there; we shall miss many peopls we expected to see there; we shall be surprised to find ourselves there—at least to find ourselves inheritors of such magnificent glory. What Is the True Test of Christianity? Not profession, but obedience. Bet- ter profession and obedience. It 1s not enough to call Christ pretty names. We must do what He tells us. There is a danger of our resting content in merely believing all Christ’s claims for salvation. We sheuld not rest in any mere ritualistic lip confession of Christ. Active heart obedience to His commands must accompany this con- fession. ‘The man who hears Christ’s words, and concedes them to be true, and then does not make them the con- trolling power of his life,is the man who builds his house on the sand. A testing day is certainly coming. Christ, | the eternal truth, has said so. In that day such a man will find that his’ professions _have been merely empty. words: they may have satisfied him in| life; they cannot satisfy the Son of God in judgment. Banishment from the presence of God will be his por- tion forever and ever. Beneficence Does Not Save. No one can read this lesson thought fully without. realizing that it is pos- sible for a person to be an active worker in the church, a preacher ir, the pulpit a great soulwinner, a theo: logical professor, and yet be lost in the last great day. Christian work not done from true motive—faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Saviour of the world—is not truly Christian work, and receives no saving merit in that day. It is an awful thing to think that a man may go to hell from be: neath the pulpit; but it is a more awful thing for a man to go to hell etraight~out of the pulpit or theo- logical professor’s chair.

The drug caffeine, contained im all ordinary coffee, must be discontinued absolutely or the disease will continue in spite of any medicine and will grow worse. It is easy to leave off the old-fashioned coffee by adopting Postum Food Coffee, for in it one finds a pleasing hot break~ fast or dinner beverage that has the deep. seal brown color, changing to a rich golden brown when good cream is added. ‘When boiled long enough (15 minutes) the flavor is not that of rank Rio coffee but very like the milder, smooth and high grade Java, but entirely lacking the drug effect of ordinary coffee. Anyone suffering from disorders set up by coffee drinking (and there is an extensive variety) can absolutely depend upon some measure of relief by quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. If the disease has not become too strongly rooted, one can with good rea- son expect it to disappear entirely ina reasonable time after the active cause of the trouble is removed and the cel- lular tissue has time to naturally re- build with the elements furnished by Postum and good food.

Several weeks ago the president sent the name of W. T. Vernon to the senate to succeed that sedate gentleman, Judson Lyons, as register of the treasury. The senate committee has been holding up Prof. Vernon's appointment ever since it received his name, and now we are reliably informed that Vernon will not be confirmed. The senate committee has shown great wisdom in holding up the appointment of Vernon, and given his accusers a thorough hearing. The appointment of such an individual to such a high position would reflect seriously on the senate, and would cast putrid stealth upon the entire government. A few Negro journalists unacquainted with the facts in the Vernon case have been very loud in their preaching of the Kansan's cause, but the Palladium has stood out boldly against Mr. Vernon because we are entirely acquainted with the charges, and fully convinced as to their merit. Sometimes ago the Palladium started for Prof. Vernon, because we knew that he was not the proper man to head such an institution of learning as Quindo college. It was at this time that Prof. Vernon sent his plea to the editor of the Palladium—for mercy, and later coming to St. Louis, and almost on bended knees implored us to spare him. The Palladium does not do things by halves, for we have witnesses who will bear us out in every allegation. He will not deny that he wrote that plea for mercy, and in his own hand writing wherein his guilt is admitted. There is, an undeniable tendency among the more intelligent Negroes to suppress such facts as will reflect upon the character of such of their race as may aspire for public favor. This is serious and dangerous. A bad man elevated to office becomes a worse man, for in his exalted position he can but feel immune from conviction—from conviction, for society has condoled his offense, and out of its apparent appreciation has elevated him. WILL ROOSEVELT HEAR HER. 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 bid Have You Heard of Prof. HARE'S Crescolian Hair Grower FREE We will send it FREE To any one who will write to us—a postal will do—we will send a full size box of Prof. HARE'S Crescolian Hair Grower Prof. Hare's Crescolian Hair Grower. 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 vendedicated 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 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 registrieship, 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 HOW THE POLICE BOARD MIGHT IMPROVE CONDITIONS. Possibly neither the Chief of Police, the Chief of Detectives nor any member of the Police Board has noted the gradually widening breach between the two races in St. Louis; but conservative, cool-headed men of both races have noticed and commented upon the conditions which are slowly forming a serious problem that must at some future day, give the authorities much concern. St. Louis is becoming filled with scalawag, no-account Negroes who eke out an existence by pilfering, looting, gambling and other nefarious methods, and it is but a question of time until the wrath of the public is so aroused that the city will be visited by such a riot as that of Columbus, Springfield and Evansville, Ind., and other towns where low Negroes have been permitted to congregate. If, in such riots, the bad negroes alone suffered, there would be little 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.

In the past four months, seven white women have been attacked in public highways by Negro ruffians, and in neither case has the Negro been a St. Louisan by birth. The alleys and stables of the west end are teeming with Negro loafers and Negro dives are full of them. If the Chief of Detectives and Police Board would select four high-class and intelligent Negroes and put them in plain clothes, the matter would be remedied.
