DAY AND N BEST MEALS AND QUICK If You Are Pleasee of the finest and leading congregation in St. Louis. Rev. George W. Gaines of North Miss Ella Rucks is one of the noted society girls of Dumas school. She is all right; God bless her. A very pleasant time was spent at Corinthian Baptist church Sunday. Rev. Dr. Cole preached two able sermons. Mrs. Turnly, of 2842 Laclede avenue, from all appearances is the happiest woman in St. Louis. (Is it so? Please answer.) We hope so, at any rate. Col. J. O. Midnight, of the Afro-American, of Baltimore, Md., was in St. Louis last week. •He is the picture of health, and is "biling" over with new thoughts and funny sayings. Clarence Turner, son of Mrs. A. K. Cannon, of 4355 Maffitt avenue, who has been brought home from Lincoln Institute very ill with acute rheumatism, has entirely recovered. Both mother and son are looking fine. Miss Anna May Jones, of Helena, Ark., is visiting Mrs. Powell, of 2731 Morgan. If she stays awhile, she will have the opportunity of seeing some of the beautiful sights of our city. She will not care to return to Arkansas. Mrs. Dugger, of 912 South Third street, presented her husband with a bouncing boy on March 20th. This is another case like all young men.

He is one of the most eloquent and logical preachers that is now before LOUIS HENEKEN, GROCER. Successor to Theo. Temple. The splendid grocery at 2601 Market street, formerly owned by Mr. Theo. H. Temple, has changed hands. Mr. Louis Heneken is his successor. He has twenty-five years' of experience in the grocer business, and thoroughly understands the wants of the patrons. His success is due to his courteous treatment of all to come to his store. We have known Mr. Hencken for eight years and observation has taught us that he is one of the few who is really anxious to please his customer. Men and women of our race should patronize him as he patronizes our business men and firms. See his ad elsewhere in this paper. Came to Visit, But Returned at Once. Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Bromletto, of San Antonio, Tex., came to St. Louis last Tuesday to remain several weeks, but when they arrived, March 24 they received a telegram to return at once on business of vast importance. They were visiting Mr. and Mrs. Bentley Pillow, of 3320 Franklin avenue. They were much disappointed at the necessity of such an early return, but hope to visit our city again in the near future. Thus "Man proposes, but God disposes." Orpheus Academy. Despite the bad weather, the attendance at the Orpheus Academy has been exceptionally good, proving conclusively that its popularity is ever on the increase. DAIGY WARE COMING.

The Wardrobe club and auxiliary to the orphans' home celebrated their fourth anniversary by giving a reception at the home of Mrs. Belle Wilson of 2733 Lucas avenue, Friday, March 23. The parlors and dining room were decorated with palms, ferns, red carnations and festoons of cardinal ribbon, which bore out the color scheme of red and green. Mrs. McClain, a member of the home board, delivered an address, in which she reviewed the work of the club, stating that the club was organized for the purpose of assisting the board of managers of the home in furnishing clothing and shoes for the orphans, and in visiting the home bi-monthly to sew, mend and darn their clothing. The most entertaining and interesting part of the affair was the programme arranged by Mrs. Thomas Harris, one of the members of the club. The first number was a comic recitation by Mrs. William B. Clark, of Montreal, Can., which was received with great applause. Then a solo entitled, "Dearie," was sung by Mrs. Gant in a very pleasing manner. "A Few Minutes With Shakespeare," consisting of puzzles, questions, quotations and charades, some of which were quite humorous and instructive, were rendered, in which the guests entered with much interest. Among the charades was "Sleeping Beauty," with "August" pinned upon the drapery, representing "A Midsummer Night's Dream." A young man kneeling at the feet of a young lady, who turned her head away from him, represented "Love's Labor Lost." A large zero, placed in the center of the floor, with several articles around it, represented "Much Ado About Nothing." There were many others quite as interesting. The prize, a volume of "Tales From Shakespeare," was awarded to Miss Mamie Dixon, who scored the greatest number of answers. The booby prize, "Mother Goose Stories," was given to Mrs. J. S. Suttle. The programme concluded with a recitation by Mrs. Harris, "How Kate Shelly Crossed the Bridge," which won for her much applause. After the flow of reason, came the feature of the soul, when all repaired to the beautiful dining room, where a three-coursed menu was served by a well-known caterer in elegant style. The reception was thoroughly enjoived by all. Death Has at Last Claimed Her. On Sunday afternoon, April 1, at 5 o'clock, p. m., Mrs. Marie Brown, beloved mother of Mrs. Eliza J. Bridgewater and Mr. George J. Lyons, after a lingering illness of over one year, departed this life at an age of 74 years. She was buried from St. Paul's chapel on Tuesday, at 1 p. m. She had been a member of that church for over 35 years and a member of United Sisters' society for 31 years. "Blessed are the dead, who die in Christ."

SOUP—CHICKEN AND RICE. Mrs. Brown was one of our city's oldest citizens. Her son-in-law, Henry Bridgewater, at his death, was reputed to be the richest Colored man in the city. His wife inherited all his estate. Mrs. Brown has resided with her daughter since her (Mrs. Brown's) husband's death some years ago. She has been fortunate in having a loving daughter and son. God grant there may be more like them to care for parents in their old age. Mrs. Brown has not only left behind two mourning relatives, but also hundreds of friends who have known her for years. They have admired her Christian piety and feel as if they have lost a dear mother. May she rest in peace. The Silver-Tongued Orator of the West Goes to Savannah, Ga. The above sketch is at present pastor of the Corinthian Baptist church, corner Stein street and Alabama avenue; also president of the Baptist Ministers' Alliance of St. Louis. Dr. May is booked to preach his farewell sermon to the Corinthian church Sunday, April 8, at 11 o'clock. There will be communion service at 2:30, and general speaking meeting at 7:45. Dr. May goes to take charge of the Second African Baptist church, Savannah, Ga. one of the largest Negro churches in the world. He goes with strong indorsements from his church REV. J. H. MAY, D. D., LL. D. and the Alliance, which indorsements he justly merits, as he is an ideal preacher and pastor along every line. The prayers and good wishes of all the citizens of St. Louis go with this high-grade preacher to his new field of labor. It will be no trouble for Dr. May to be a St. Louis pastor again in the future if he ever desires to return; yea, even pastor of Corinthian, from which he now departs, as 'tis said he hasn't one single opposer in that church. Go to hear this worthy giant preach his farewell sermon Sunday. Dr. May and wife will leave for Savannah Tuesday. Prof. O. M. Wood. Recent advices from Porto Rico state that Prof. O. M. Wood, superintendent of the schools for the Bayamon district, has been offered the position of commissioner of education by the government of Bolivia, South America, with full power to organize a new system of education for that country. The commissionership carries with it high social and official rank, together with a magnificent salary. The department of education on the island of Porto Rico is extremely loath to lose the services of Prof Wood, and are bringing all influences to bear to induce him to remain. He has the offer as yet under consideration. WANTED. Girls experienced in operating shirt ironers, body ironers, etc., who understands the general use of laundry machinery. Good wages. Apply at once.

She Had Registered At the Falmer House As the Wife of Eme Bardeleben, of New York. Chicago. — Mrs. Edith Cooper, whose address is given as 2330 Germantown avenue, Philadelphia, committed suicide, Thursday, in the Palmer house, by shooting herself through the head. The woman arrived at the Palmer house in company with a man about 60 years of age, who registered as Emo Bardeleben, of New York. The woman registered as Mrs. Bardeleben. They were assigned to a room, and almost immediately afterward Bardeleben left the hotel. He returned three hours later and found the room locked. He summoned assistance, the door was forced open and the woman was found dead on the floor with a revolver lying on the carpet beside her. Death had apparently been instantaneous. Bardeleben, after questioning by the police, said the woman was Mrs. Edith Cooper, and that her residence was 2330 Germantown avenue, Philadelphia. He said that she had come to Chicago to consult a specialist, but for what cause he did not know. "I met Mrs. Cooper first in Philadelphia about two years ago. I had seen her but a few times since then until I met her, five weeks ago, in Pittsburg. She came with me to Chicago to seek medical advice and to see about getting a divorce from her husband. I know of no reason why she should have killed herself, unless she suddenly became despondent over her illness, which I know she considered incurable. BLACK FOREST CALAMITY Fifty-Five Persons Killed and a Hundred Injured By the Collapse of a Hotel Building. Naglog, Little Black Forest, Germany.—The Hotel Zum Hirsch collapsed and 100 dangerously injured, Thursday, by the collapse of the Hotel Zum Hirsch. The building had not been fully completed, and the catastrophe is attributed to the non-observance of proper precautions. The roof of the building was only put in place Thursday morning, an event which, in accordance with German custom, was celebrated with a feast. The guests were reported to have engaged in a dance, and this, together with the large number of persons on the floor, probably was what caused the building to collapse. The town presents an indescribable scene of horror and grief. There is hardly a family but has lost one of more members. The villagers and people of the surrounding country are inquiring for their relatives. The dead are laid out in the town hall adjacent to the scene of the disaster. The work of rescue is still proceeding, and the full losses are not definitely known. WON HONORS AT COLUMBIA Prince Pka Isaka Seme, a Full-Blooded African, Winner of Annual Oratorical Contest. New York.—Columbia university's highest oratorical honors have gone this year to a full-blooded African prince, who won the annual contest, Thursday, for the George William Curtis medal. Prince Pka Isaka Seme is the name of the winner, and he is a son of the line of chiefs that ruled Zululand up to the time the English gained control. He is a member of the class of 1906 in Columbia college and is an ardent student, specializing in economics. After getting his bachelor degree from Columbia Seme will spend three years at Oxford and then return to Zululand, where the position of attorney general for his people is being held open for him. The subject of his oration was "The Regeneration of Africa." EXCITEMENT IN ZION CITY Factional Strife and Bloodshed May Develop When the Deposposed Leader Returns. Chicago.—The simple fact that "First Apostle" Dowie is on his way to Zion City from Ocatlan, Mexico, has caused intense exilement in the revolted colony here. Mrs. Dowie, who has given aid and comfort to the insurgents, has been prostrated by the news. She declares she fears bloodshed on Dowie's arrival. It was at first feared she had paralysis, but the physicians pronounce her alliment severe nervous prostration. A Shocking Discovery. Paris.—Interviews printed, Thursday, in the Matin and Petit Parisien, as well as public statements made to the miners, by mining delegate Ymon, who accompanied the rescuers who explored the Courrières mine, confirmed the announcement made that nine men whose bodies were still warm were found in one group in pit No. 4 in addition to the miner Berthau who was rescued. The efforts made to resuscitate the men however, failed. The men had been entombed 25 days, and had died from exhaustion. Girl Accidentally Kills Herself. Fort Worth, Tex—Thursday, while Miss Hattie Phillips, of Erath county, was sweeping at her home, the broom caught in a gun and the weapon was discharged. The mother heard the report and rushed in, only in time to hear her daughter caimly say, "I am shot," and to see her fall dead. Triplets Born, Mother Dies. Aline, Okla.—The wife of Frank Moreland, of Woods county, gave birth to triplets, a girl and two boys. The mother lived only a few seconds, but the babies are strong. THE CHURCH AT WORK Present Condition of the Country and Its Possibilities When the Turk Is Eliminated. There are now nearly a score of Jewish colonies in various parts of Palestine supporting themselves by billing the land and waiting hopefully for the day when the sons of Judah shall possess sovereignty over their ancient inheritance. The number of Jews in the Promised Land has increased astonishingly of late years, so that there are now more Jews in Jerusalem itself than there were in all Palestine 30 years ago. Indeed 20 years ago there were not more than 12,000 Jews in Jerusalem and not over 30,000 in all the Holy Land. At present the Jews in Jerusalem are put down at 45,000 and in all the country at over 100,000. The recent infux of Jews has been twice the number that returned with Zerubbabel from Babylon. And so soon as a favorable move is made upon the political chess board of the orient, the Jews are prepared to seize the opportunity for repatriation in still greater multitudes. There is no doubt that with their present wealth and enterprise they could plant such a colony there as does not elsewhere exist in the known world, says the Chicago Interior. While it would be impossible for a tithe of the present Jewish population of the world to make the Holy Land their home or to win from its subsistence, they would make that country under such modern methods of cultivation and with modern facilities for trade "the joy of the whole earth." But so long as the unspeakable Turk rules it with his scimitar it will remain what it is to-day, "the Niobe of nations." BRAVE SOLDIERS OF CROSS Ngoni Christians in British Central Africa Display True Spirit of Christian Heroism. Rev. Donald Fraser, of the Livingstonia mission (United Free Church of Scotland), sends encouraging facts to the Record of Christian Work as to the readiness of Christian teachers to work for Christ in the face of hardships. In a recent letter he says: In February a party of 34 Ngoni teachers went out from Mirambo to carry on work among the Senga. They were not long at work before sickness broke out among them, and in March, Kantiti Zimba, one of the brightest and most lovable of them, died. The news of his death and of the severe illness of his fellow teacher was a painful shock, and we feared that it would dampen the missionary spirit of the teachers. On the Sabbath following I spoke to the people, telling them of the glory that had come to Kantiti, the first to lay down his life for the Senga, and asked for volunteers to take his place. No sooner had I entered the vestry than a line of boys followed, among them five of our best teachers, asking to be sent to take Kantiti's place. I accepted their offer and sent them out to occupy the vacant place and open new work. In the deepening Christian spirit which came to some through this incident we have rejoiced that to the Ngoni "it has been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer in His behalf." MARTYRS VINDICATED. Investigation Shows Missionaries Did Not Bring On Fatal Outbreak at Lienchou. Full details of the distressing instance of mob violence in Lienchou, south China, have now been received, says the Record of Christian Work. From these reports it is clear that the missionaries were in no way to blame for the attack made on them. Dr. Machle removed a toy cannon which was on the mission premises, but later returned it to the priests of the temple. They had built, for idolatrous purposes, a shed which encroached in the mission property, thus breaking a contract previously made. Some ruffians excited the crowd with tales of sacrilege and further infuriated them by showing a skeleton as an indication of how the missionaries treat Chinese patients. The mission property was destroyed and all but two of the missionaries were murdered. An official investigation is being made and already volunteers have come forward to take the place of those who have thus given their lives for China. Bible Society Work. The annual report of the New York Bible society showed a distribution of 33,161 volumes of Scripture, of which 1,434 were Bibles, 14,282 New Testaments, and 73,445 single Gospels. In this distribution there is represented no less than 32 different languages, which indicates the cosmopolitan character of New York city. Christian Growth in Japan. The increase of Christians in Japan during the year 1904 was about ten per cent. In round numbers the Christians of Japan — Protestant, Roman Catholic and Greek — number about 154,000 church members, with a community of about 450,000. 2601 LAWTON AVENUE, N. W. Cor.

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 orilliant 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 OLD RELIABLE" E. W. ZIMMERM is still in business at SARAH AND FINNEY A 1017 N.

Lexington School Changes. Important changes are to take place at Lexington in the management of two of the private schools at the close of the present term in May. Col. Sanford Sellers, for many years at the head of Wentworth Military Academy, will retire from the management and ownership of that school, to be succeed by his present associate, Col. W. M. Hoge Robert N Cook, who has for several years been vice president of Lexington college for young women. President E. W. White will retire from Lexington college. His successor as yet is unnamed. Wentworth Academy was founded by the late Stephen G. Wentworth as a memorial to a deceased son. Sedalia-Jefferson City Line. A party of St. Louis capitalists visited Jefferson City to make inquiry into the project for constructing an electric railroad from Sedalia, through the counties of Pettis, Cooper, Monteau and Cole, to Jefferson City. This enterprise has its origin in a meeting recently held by a number of farmers of Cooper county, who have been almost wholly cut off during the winter and spring by bad roads. It is understood that a goodly portion of the money which will be required to make the preliminary surveys has already been pledged. Assessment Figures The state board of equalization has completed the work or revising and equalizing the assessment of real estate and personal property for the taxes of 1906, as returned to it by assessors for the several counties. The grand total of these classes of property is $1,240,769,394, an increase over the preceding year of about $77,000,-000. Of this increase all, with the exception of about $6,000,000, is on personal property. Sets 5,000,000 Mark. The executive committee of the Immigration association of Missouri held a conference with the state officials regarding the association's plans for a campaign to increase the state's population to 5,000,000. This association which had its birth in a meeting held in St. Louis last month, has already instituted 25 local organizations each of which is doing good work toward inducing immigration to Missouri. Young Mother's Sacrifice. Young Mother's Sacrifice. Mrs. John Gilmore, 19 years old, was fatally burned at her home in Smithton. She was sitting beside a stove dressing her baby when her skirt was ignited by a live coal in the ashpan under the stove. In an effort to save her baby she ran to the house of a neighbor. The child escaped without a mark, but the mother died a few hours later. Arbor Dey in Missouri. The first Friday after the first Tuesday in April of each year is set apart as arbor day by the school law of Missouri, which requests teachers, pupils and patrons to observe the day in each district by encouraging the planting of trees, shrubbery and flowers on and around the school grounds. Four Children Perish in Fire. Fire two miles north of Dudley destroyed a two-story residence and burned to death two children of Jim Meter and two of Robert Wilkerson, two of the bodies being charred beyond recognition. Several of the family were horribly burned in endeavoring to save the children. The origin of the fire is unknown. Killed Loading Hir Lost Car Killed Loading His Last Car. J. W. Miltebarger was instantly killed at Mine No. 2, of the John Hurst Coal company near Joplin by a heavy stone falling on him. The mine is about worked out. It was the last day the men were to work there. Miltebarger had sent his tools out, and was loading his last car of coal when the rock fell. Gov. Folk Spoke in Iowa. Gov. Folk was the chief speaker at the Jefferson banquet at Des Moines, under the auspices of the Iowa Democratic club. Democrats of prominence from all parts of the state attended, and the gathering was one of the most notable ever held in the state under the auspices of that party. Chillicothe's Bonds Sold. Chillicothe's $100,000 water and light plant bonds were awarded Tuesday to Oscar L. Smith, local attorney at par. A protest has been filed with the state auditor by the city water company against the registration of these bonds on the ground that they were illegally voted. Miss Dunnaway Wins Medal. Miss Ella Dunnaway, of Clarksburg, won the medal in the annual declaration contest of Clarksburg college. Her subject was "The Old Actor's Story." Less Beer Sold in March The collections reported by the state beer inspector to State Treasurer Gnielich amount to $26,136.95 for March, 1906, a loss of over $6,000 compared with March, 1905. Whether this is due to the Sunday "lid" the figures do not show. St. Louis Stock Exchange Election. The annual election of officers of the St. Louis stock exchange resulted: President, Herman C. Stifel; vice president, J. D. F. Francis; treasurer, B. C. Jenkins; secretary, A. D. Grant. Deer and other species of game bred in captivity for the market come under the provisions of the state game law. This decision was made by Judge Wofford, of the criminal court at Kansas City, in the case of Anton Weber, a butcher, who was arrested on Christmas day for violating the game law by offering and exposing for sale seven deer. The defense made by Mr. Weber was that the deer he offered for sale were not wild, but had been born in captivity upon the farm of George M. Casey, in Henry county. Judge Wofford decided that the law applied to any animal or bird that was wild by nature. Cases Against Ex-Sheriffs Dismissed In the criminal court at Springfield the cases of W. J. Bradshaw and M. O. Milliken, former sheriffs of Green county, were dismissed at the instance of Prosecuting Attorney Patterson. Both men had been indicted by a recent grand jury on the charge of embezzling county funds. Accountants examined the records and reported that Bradshaw had received $4,000 less than he was entitled to under the law and that Milliken had received $2,000 less than was due him. The prosecuting attorney made the statement that the grand jury had no evidence before it on which to indict these men. Doctors Within Its Power. The supreme court has, in an opinion by Judge Valliant, held that the state board of health has the power to revoke the license of a physician for violating the dramshop and drugstist law. The case decided was that of Dr. S. M. McAnally against the state board of health for a writ of prohibition to enjoin the board from trying him on a charge of violating the dramshop and drugstist law by selling liquor to minors. Dr. McAnally resides at Marble Hill, Bollinger county. Drew Up the Diver Dead. Brew Up the River Dead. Leon Tobin, a diver from St. Louis, lost his life in the Osage river at Jefferson City. He went out the government lock and dam on the Osage river to make an examination of the foundation of the structure at the bottom of the stream and was down so long that those that went to the dam with him drew him up. The supposition is that death resulted from apoplexy. Ousted Negro Pasfor Wins in Court The colored Baptists of Moberly have been divided into two factions for about a year, and the church has been locked against Rev. F. Bates the pastor, for several years. Judge Waller has decided that Rev. Bates was illegally ousted and that the church building should be unlocked and the pastor allowed to hold services uninterrupted. Sedalia's Fair to Close on Sunday. Because of a strong protest made by the Ministers' Alliance of Missouri, the directors of the state fair have decided not to open the fair on Sunday, September 28, following the opening day on Saturday. The gates will not only be closed to spectators, but to exhibitors as well, the "lid" being tightly sealed in every department, For Missouri-Arkansas Road For Missouri-Arkansas Road. The St. Louis, Kennett & Southeastern Railroad company with a capital stock of $300,000, has been chartered by the secretary of state. The purpose of this company is to construct and maintain a narrow gauge railroad from Campbell, Dunklin county, to Kennett, the county seat of that county, and thence into Clay county, Arkansas. A Victory for E. G. Lewis. The supreme court has announced its decision that the St. Louis county circuit court acted without authority when it appointed a receiver for the $2,500,000 People's United States bank of St. Louis of which E. G. Lewis is president. The decision knocks out the receivership of Fred Essen. Drank Muriatic Acid. Dick Campbell, a farmer 45 years old, died at Springfield from the effects of muriatic poisoning, having taken two ounces of that substance six days before while in a drunken fit. That the man should live so long after taking the poison is a mystery to the local doctors. Building Booms at Joplin. One of the greatest building booms in the history of Joplin is now on It is estimated that during 1906 more than $2,000,000 will be spent in new buildings, contracts having already been let for buildings amounting to more than $1,000,000.

Sp 4—11—44, As we have often said, we have the best subscribers in St. Louis, and also about fifty of the worst that ever lived. Many of them subscribed with the in- tention of never paying. When we call, they put us off until next month, then until the next month, finally when they allow their bills to amount ‘o four or five months, they send word to cease sending the paper, and never pay. Some stand behind the curtains and will not open the door. We wish to say that in next week's issue we will place them on the mule and see if they can ride him as well as they do our generosity. It is to the benefit of the public to find out such impesters. We will drop from our mailing list next week over 260 subscribers that we have sent the Palladium to for 12 months. About one hundred said they paid our agent for six months, namely, Alton, Ill, 10; Bast St. Louis, HI., 30; South St. Louis, 40; Moberly, Mo., 35; Mexico, Mo., 25; Pacific, Mo., 20; Kirkwood, Mo., 20; Jefferson City, Mo., 50; St. Charles, Mo., 10, other places in Missouri 20. Unless we hear from them this week they will get the Palladium no more. This is a clear loss, We hope to get as many more in a few weeks to fill this gap up. Don't fail to read the Rip Saw col- umn next week, We have something interesting about the worst Negro un- hung; also those playing the white racket. a If you have no money and desire to get some, go to Friedman Loan Co., 1324 Market. street.

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, W. T. Vernon, when asked by the father of the woman he wronged why he acted in that manner, replied: “1 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. Richard Il. said, “The name of the king is a tower of strength.” So is Olin, the Tailor, at 1244 Franklin ave- nue. He is in the field to stay, fight and win. See his ad among the adver- tisers. A woman can drive a man crazy for twenty-four hours and then bring him to the gates of Paradise in two sec- onds by simply tickling him under the chin. Easter is near at hand. Have Olin the Tailor, of 1244 Franklin avenue, furnish you with your new suit. He will more than please you, Sam, the Tailor, is the man that patronizes Negro business men, and our People ought to patronize him. 204 North Fourteenth street. Use Pickett’s Laxative Viburnum for Female Trouble. A SH INN SOS PALE The mothers who dress their girls beyond their means are only sowing the seed of future trouble. We wagered a gold dollar that in less than two weeks, some boy or girl would be in the holdover. Who was it? Morgan and Theresa avenue is a hang-out for Negro loafers. They use some terrible language. Let the police break this den up. ‘The Negro who can’t tell the differ- ence between a compliment and a slur in a newspaper ought to go and remain in the jungles of Georgia. | Two doctors gave seven dollars to a ‘man who forgot (?) to use it for the purpose intended. Watch out, if you stop any more, you will go home again. Goa forbid that the Palladium man will ever appropriate money intended for another use and apply it for his own. Men go to Jefferson City for such an act. Girls who go from home to school ought to find the way home without having men or boys accompanying them home. Boys and books don’t go together. If our good subseribers will pay up we can employe at least three regular collectors. Watch for our lady collec- tors. Pay them and don’t say you'll see the manager. 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. ‘The police and detective foree are now doing their duty toward Sumner high school. Now let the parents do their duty and the gang of loafers will be driven out of St. Louis. Mrs, Maggie Jordan, of 2633 Market, has returned from Hot Springs greatly improved. We noticed Mr, Jordan, and were surprised when he said: “Oh! she has come. Yes, she has come.” as Birds of a feather will flock togeth- er. 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 de: ‘The girls that are always desiring to go to Chieago or New York and haven't a dollar to their name, but expect to go in the care of some rail- road porter, are not the girls to adorn society It is an undisputable fact that most of the mothers from 18 years of age to 33 years, do not know how io raise children. They themselves should have irreproachable characters hefore they attempt to train children. Mr. H. J. Webb, of 929 North Six- teenth street, has taken unto himself a wife in the person of Miss Bridget, of 1708 Chestnut. They are now liv- ing at 4321 Cottage. We wish them well in their future journey through life. A certain Negro man said that the Palladium man had better attend to his own business. The Palladium man will wager his life against a doughnut that this same man will scon be in the four courts, and aiso the girl he is now passing for his wife. Thiere are about one hundred Negroes that lie around and havn't done a day’s werk in ten years, and they are the ones who cause many of our good girls to go astray. The police force and the Palladium are joined in an effort to drive them out of town, Simmons scheol loses one of its pop- ular young teachers in the person of Miss Mamie Morrell, who lays aside the cares of the schoolroom to become a bride. After her marriage Miss Mor- rell will depart for the south. We wish Miss Morrell and intended much joy. A man of business who allows him- self to be carried away by a “would be” pretty white woman, will some day live to regret it. This Negro sold the home that should have belonged to his son at the instigation of this woman. She, who is now his heart’s delight, another Colored man's wife. What will become of this business man’s son? This well-known Negro has made himself the laughing stock of his friends. Pickett's Number’ Nine (No. 9) for the bowels and liver.

St Louis, Mo. ¥ THE DUTY OF A NEWSPAPER. ‘The manager of the Palladium has been most ‘severely criticized for the persistency with which he publishes articles, displaying the corruptness of many of our so-called best (2) people. ‘What some of our race desires is the “squashing” of any incident detri- mental to its so-called leaders, because of the class to which they belong. - 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 ex- pects 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 pinacle 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 re- moval 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 ig- norant person on the plea of his ig- noranee. ‘The Palladium is not seeking noto- riety through scathing articles, it is simply trying to print the truth with- ‘out 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 arti- cle criticizing any person without proof of its authenticity. He knows whereof he speaks. Next week, the public will hear some igre bodthtnie wees WEBSTER GROVES NOTES. Mrs. Thomas is somewhat ill at this writing.

NELSON'S Hair Dressing Not New or Experimental, but an Old, Reliable Preparation of Proven Merit. Nelson's Hair Dressing is an ideal Hair Pomade. It contains no strong, dangerous chemicals that can in any way injure the hair. You can use it just as long as you want it to be. It is safe for all hair types, including hair. Nelson's Hair Dressing softens harsh, stubborn, refractory hair, prevents it from becoming dry and brittle, and enables you to do it up in any style consistent with its length, at the same time giving it it hurt, glossy look so much desired. It is also very easy to use, and it does not cause any of anything made. It supplies the needied 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. It is an excellent remedy for all kinds of Scalp Diseases such as Pitter, Itching and scaling of the Scalp, Dandruff, &c. Nelson's Hair Dressing is delightfully performed; 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. If you cannot find it in your town, send us 30 cents in stamps and we will mail you a full size box, postage paid. Address, WE WANT GOOD AGENTS. WRITE FOR PRICES, TERMS, ETC. A. U. K. & D. of A.

It naussated me, and 1 felt as though there was nothing but coffee flowing through my veins. “Coffee agreed well enough for a time, but for a number of years I fhave known that it was doing me great harm, but, like the rum toper, I thought I could not get along with- out ft, It made me nervous, disor. dered my digestion, destroyed my ‘sleep and brought on frequent and ~very distressing headaches. “When I got what the doctor called <a ‘coffee jag’ on, I would give up drinking ft for a few days til) my -stomach regained a little strength, but I was always fretful and worried and ‘mervous till I was able to resume the muse of the drug. “About @ year ago I was persuaded ‘to try Postum, but as I got it in res- itaurants it was nothing but a sloppy vmess, sometimes cold, and always -weak, aad of course I didn’t like it.

They Are Very Closely Related and for Well-Developed Figure Ex- ‘ersies Ia tedential; Cultivate # pink-and-white complex- ion, a sweet disposition, and when you do this you are sure to be healthy, which is the main factor, after all. You will begin by taking deep- breathing exercises. But before you begin, open your window and try to have the sun shine on you while you are taking these exercises. If you do this you will not be cold in win- ter or summer. The exercise is: Clasp your hands upon your chest and tap yourself heavily, inhaling deeply; extend your arms, tapping all the while, and ex- hale. Then try violent arm exercises or anything in the line of physical cul- ture. Do not try general massage, which will round out all the sharp points and angles. One society wom- an is learning to blow a horn, which is strictly an original plan. Blowing a horn will develop the neck muscles and broaden the chest. It is not the easiest thing in the world to learn to blow a horn, but if you know how to breath deeply and empty your lungs completely of air and how to contract the abdominal muscles as you blow it will not be hard work, Remember all the while the more you blow the easier and mer- rier it gets. But be sure to take all your exer- cises before an open window, because you get pure air, and that is the only kind of air to breathe if you wish to be made over.

A Couple of Tricks to Try on One’s Guests — Delicious April Fool Chocolates, Announce to the guests that yol have a picture that you would like «9 show, that it has given you a grea‘ deal of pleasure, and doubtless will give them as much. Withdraw a cur- tain revealing a mirror, with “April Fool” written on it with soap, whea you have one or two expectant persons in front of it. For the second stunt pile sofa pil- lows, books, plants, and anything in the way of obstruction, on the floor; then tell a certain person to mark each obstacle carefully in his mind, blind- fold him, and tell him +o walk across the room. In the meantime, after the victim is blindfolded, the objects have been noiselessly removed, leaving the floor clear. It is amusing in the ex- creme to see the blind man making his way, and when the bandage is re- moved his astonishment is great. By the way, delicious April Fool chocolates may be made by dipping oyster crack- ers in melted chocolate, after the same manner as creams are coated. MADAME MERRI A FEW BEAUTY DON'TS.

It will be a fad this year, as one result of an early spring, for ama teur flower lovers to plant, for the admiration of their friends, gardens of wild flowers, transplanted from the woods. Many of the plants found in the woods and fields have foliage and flowers as beautiful as the highly cul: tivated Kinds. With the first touch of spring, before the snow and ice has disappeared from the more densely shaded places, the first wild flowers begin to blogm, and there is a constant succession of gay blossoms, increas- ing in splendor, until iate in Septem- ber, when many of the wild flowers are at their best. By making trips to the, woods at va rious’ seasons, the flower lover may transplant such specimens of each va: riety. as pleases his fancy. At home a bed should be prepared for them, placed where the plants have some protection from the’ hot sun, and be watered regularly. The soil should Be thoroughly enriched with well-rotted manure, or some commercial fertiliz: ‘er. It is best to plant the wild flow- ers as a border, with all varieties mixed, as most of them are perennials and it will be unnecessary to replant ‘the border yearly, except to replace those that die. Owing to the different flowering seasons of the various varie: ties, if the bed is well furnished with many sorts there will be constant suc- cession of bloom all the summer. It is best to begin working the ground for the bed as soon in the spring as it is dry enough. ‘The transplanted flowers should be carefully and regu larly watered until they are well es tablished. Afterwards it is only nec essary to keep the weeds out. The seeds of many of the best wild flowers ‘can be purchased of the seedsmen. To Whiten the Arms.

The ever-watchful Pharisees criticised as soon as the disciples vegan to do this. V. 2. “Behold Thy disciples.” Christ was not plucking and eating the grain, but the fault-finding Pharisees see a chance to make a point against Him through His disciples, implying that He permitted their act, and was, there: fore, responsible for tt V.3. “Have ye not read:” This ques- ‘tion, a favorite formula of the rabbis is used ironically, Luke puts tt: “Have ye not read even this?” Per. haps te very passage referred to had been read in the synagogue only a few minutes before, “What David dld:* one of the greatest of the Hebrews See 1 Sam. 21:1-7.

COLORED STARS. A Very Pretty Experiment Which Any Ingenious Boy Can Work Successfully. Here is a pretty experiment that any ingenious boy can make. Get a piece of cardboard, say 8x12 inches in size, and bend it gently in the middle. In one of the wings thus formed cut a four-pointed star, with two of the points vertical and two horizontal. Now bend this wing back upon the other and make a tracing of the star on the latter with a pencil. Your object is to get the exact center of the star-tracing, and this you may do by making a dot at the intersection of the diagonals. Now make another drawing of a star on the uncut wing, but its points must be at an angle of 45 degrees with the first. Cut this new star out carefully, and place the cardboard, as shown in the illustration, on a table bearing the lighted candles of the same height and opposite to a screen of white paper fixed to the wall. Regulate the angle formed by the two wings so that the luminous images cast by the stars may fall, one directly on the other, in the center of the screen. You will thus have a bright star with eight points. Now, explains ARRANGEMENT OF STARS AND CANDLES. the Chicago Daily News, if you cover one of the two openings with a piece of colored glass, say green, you will have a tri-colored star, with the points alternately red and green and the center white. The piece of colored glass may be replaced by a wine-glass containing any colored liquid, and the points of the star will then show alternately the color of the liquid and its complementary hue. Some very pretty effects may thus be produced. Colors in a Soap Bubble. Have you ever noticed that some of the soap bubbles you blow are iridescent? And do you know why?

An Adventure in Russia—Prize Story by Charles Reichling, a 14-Year-Old Detroit Boy. The rain was pouring in torrents and, as we boys could not go outdoors to play, we decided to stay in the sec ond parlor and read stories. We were reading about the ferocity of wolves when Uncle Jack interrupted us, and told us that he would tell us a story about his experience with wolves Uncle Jack was a traveling salesmar for a large New York firm, and was sent to St. Petersburg, the home of the czar, in Russia. He had a few stops before reaching the capital, his las I SPRANG TO THE LOWER LIMB JUST IN TIME TO SAVE MY LIFE.

He arose early next morning and started on his journey. "Well," he said, "I had driven for about two hours through a sort of woods, when the horses suddenly snorted with terror, and broke into a wild gallop. I knew well enough that they had scented wolves, and presently I heard a faint howl far away. "Before long the cruel green eyes of the leader appeared behind me, and just at that instant the sleigh collided with a tree stump that was covered with snow. In an instant I was thrown out, and the horses, freeing themselves, rushed madly on. Nearly frantic with terror, I waved a piece of red rag which I gripped in my hand and, to my intense astonishment, the wolves stopped, dropped their tails, and eyed me suspiciously. "Slowly, I backed to a tree and sprang to the lower limbs, just in time to save my life. The pack then divided. Some of the wolves started after the horses, while the remainder, with hungry eyes and tongues tolling out, settled down under the tree. "At sunset some men found the sleigh with the broken harness attached, and around it the marks of a great battle in which the wild beasts had been the victors. A strong force of men came out into the road, and soon put the wolves to flight, with their shots, rescuing me just as I was about to give up all hope. They took me to their cabin, and the next day I rode on horseback and reached St Petersburg in safety.—Detroit Free Press.

"La Creolé' Will Restore those Gray Hairs "La Creolé' Hair Restorer is a Perfect Dressing and Restorer Price $1.00 A CURE FOR DEBILITY Dr. Williams' Pink Pills A Reliable Remedy for the Weak, Ailing and Bloodless. When the body is weak and the blood thin it is sometimes difficult to find the cause unless a wasting illness has preceded, or the sufferer happens to be a girl on the verge of womanhood. Obscure influences, something unhealthful in one's surroundings or work, may lead to a slow impoverishment of the blood and an enfeeblement of the whole body. When a serious stage has been reached there seems to be nothing that will account for it. Mr. C. E. Legg, of Tipton, W. Va., has found a successful method of treating weakness and bloodlessness. He says: "I used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for weakness caused by a lingering malarial fever that began in the spring of 1896. The worst effects of this were indigestion and a bad state of my blood. I was anemic, as the doctors say. People generally would say that I didn't have blood enough, or that I didn't have the right kind of blood; mine was too thin. My kidneys and liver were out of order. I was badly annoyed by sour risings from my stomach. There was a good deal of pain, too, in my back and under my right shoulder blade." "How long did these troubles last?" "For over two years. For four months of that time I was under the care of a physician, but his medicine did me no good. Meanwhile I learned of the cures that had been wrought by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." "You owe your cure to these pills?" "I certainly do, and I also know that they are helping others to whom I have recommended them. They have real merit and I know of nothing that would take their place." For further information and valuable booklet address the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. STRAY SQUIBS.

It was one of those autmatic hotels, where, if you want anything you go and look for it and don't find it, and where the landlord is a non est man until the next morning, when he says: "Two dollars, please." He never fails to be on hand then, writes a writer in Talent: "the damages" had sent me a little slip, giving me special rates of $1.50 single, and $1.25 double, and I thought it was a pretty good thing. So in the morning I presented my little slip, saying: "You gave us special rates, I believe, $1.5 a day?" "Yah, dot iss right," answered mine host. "One dollar and a half is special." So I paid him 15 cents, on which he made at least $1.30, and went my way, rejoicing as much as I could. I strolled down to the depot with a commercial missionary, who seemed very much pleased about something, and present in a very high state of chuckle, he said: "Mr. Hawks, I laughed with you last night, but I had to laugh at you this morning." "What's the joke?" I asked, for I didn't see any. "That landlord gave you a special rate of $1.50 per, didn't he?" "that landlord gave you a special rate of $1.50 per, didn't he?" "Well, that's the joke; his regular rates are one dollar a day." TERRIBLE SCALP HUMOR. Head Covered with Humor Sores, with Loss of Hair—Another Speedy Cure by Cuticura Remedies. "All my life I had been troubled more or less with humor in my scalp, but about a year ago it became worse, and my scalp was covered with little sores, which itched so it nearly made me crazy; my hair also began to get dry and fall out. I tried all kinds of hair restorers with no effect, and I was nearly discouraged; but one day I was reading in a paper what the Cuticura Remedies had done for scalp diseases, and decided to make a trial. I got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent Pills. I used them according to directions, and soon noticed a difference; the my scalp soaked, and began to heal itself, the scaly staped, and my skin began to grow thick. I have used only the one cake of Soap, one box of Ointment, and one vial of Pills, and now I have no humor on my scalp and my hair is soft and silky. Miss Mayzie C. Atkins, Box 32.

PINKHAM And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and How the "Panic of '73" Caused it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores. PILES: NO MONEY TILL CURED. SEND FOR FREE ILLUIS. TREATIE OR BREAKFAST PRS THORNSTON & MINOR 10:30 OAK ST. KAISAKA CITY, MO. (BRACH OF FICE AT ST. LOUIS) This remarkable woman, whose maiden name was Estes, was born in Lynn, Mass. February 9th, 1819, coming from a good old Quaker family. For some years she taught school, and became known as a woman of an alert Yours for health Lydia C. Pinkham and investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa- thetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies—calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and experience many of them gained a wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in the harvestfields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies expressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medicines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combination of the choiceest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and Lyda E.Pinkham's friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them. All this so far was done freely, without money and without price, as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world. The three sons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world. The Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a gross of bottles. Then came the question of selling it, for always before they had given it away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medicine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it recommended it to others, and the demand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the family had saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until today Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound have become household words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annually in its manufacture. Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her reward years ago, but not till she had provided means for continuing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself. During her long and eventful experience she was ever methodical in her work and she was always careful to preserve a record of every case that came to her attention. The case of every sick woman who applied to her for advice—and there were thousands—received careful study, and the details, including symptoms, treatment and results were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since, are available to sick women the world over, and represent a vast collaboration of information regarding the treatment of woman's ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library in the world. With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham. She was carefully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, and for years she assisted her in her vast correspondence. To her hands naturally fell the direction of the work when its originator passed away. For nearly twenty-five years she has continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up. With women assistants, some capable as herself, the present Mrs. Pinkham continues this great work, and probably from the office of no other person have so many women been advised how to regain health. Sick women, this advice is "Yours for Health" freely given if you only write to ask for it. Such is the history of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; made from simple roots and herbs; the one great medicine for women's ailments, and the fitting monument to the noble woman whose name it bears. The JEFFERSON BAR.....

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 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. Lincoln Institute Notes. The "Pink Tea" given by the seniors for the benefit of the class organization was a highly enjoyable affair and a financial success. The public rhetoricals of Friday, March 30, were of unusual excellence and interest. Nicholas Francis, senior, 1906, in an oration, "The Power of an Ideal," and Miss Ruth Cooper, a junior, in a Latin declamation, easily carried off the honors of the occasion. The musical selections were of pleasing variety and well rendered.

The members of the senior class are making daily flights toward the starry heavens and into the intricacies of psychology, while the sophomore normal, another graduating class, is attempting to solve the mysteries of past ages and "the riddle of the universe" as deduced from the pages of ancient history. President Allen's Sunday afternoon talk, "Some Hindrances to Success," was full of interest for students, teachers and visiting friends, and contained, as do all of these talks, at devotions, after dinner, and on Sunday, much valuable thought for the young mind, and must in due time bear fruit in producing a thoughtful set of young people, duly impressed with the seriousness of life; and all will admit that in our present condition as a race this is one of our most urgent needs—thoughtful people. Rev. T. A. Chuchon, of Oklahoma, a recent visitor, gave a glowing account of the good work that is being accomplished along educational lines by Lincoln graduates who are teaching in that section. Among those whom he especially mentioned were the Henderson brothers, Misses Zenonbia Bruce and Lillian Brown. To this list might be added Miss Laura Jackson. Mr. Seamon Hill, Miss Aurora Perry, a summer school student, and many others who are holding aloft the banner of their alma mater with credit to themselves and their institution. Because of these facts, boards of education in the territories are accepting Lincoln Institute diplomas in lieu of examinations. Salaries are good, pay is certain; the cost of living not exorbitant; land plentiful and fertile, all of which ought to be incentives to ambitious young people who wish to make a successful start in life.

The pastor said the sermon was intended more for new members, but it may be safely said that quite a large number of the old members applied it to themselves, and feasted on the food that seemed to come from the spirit world.

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 favorability 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. Birds of a feather will flock together, in our estimation. Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Females Trouble.
