LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1906. "SANCTIFICATION." Paper Read by Rev. B. Steward at Meeting of Methodist Alliance Last Monday. At the meeting of the Methodist Alliance last Monday the following paper was read by Rev. B. Steward: Sanctification, in the general acceptance of the term, implies the making, setting apart or separating an object, person or thing to a sacred and holy religious use. And to this end Moses, the servant of God and leader of God's ancient people, was set apart, raised up and qualified for the pacific work of delivering the children of Israel from the Egyptians (second chapter of Exodus). Also Joshua was appointed Moses' successor, was set apart as a leader (Joshua, first chapter). And thus the prophets, priests, kings and rulers were dedicated to their several offices to which they were called of God. To illustrate, Samuel and David may be mentioned as examples of those dedicated or sanctified to the work. The index Bible defines sanctification to prepare, or set apart, a person or thing to a holy use. When applied to men it denotes the effects of God's spirit upon the soul in the exercise of faith, love and humility toward God and man. Relating to a place or thing, we have the term sanctuary, as applied to the holy temple or tabernacle, the utensils, such as the golden candlesticks, as the altar of incense, the ark of the covenant, to which the high priest may enter and serve. Webster defines sanctification to make pure or holy. Dr. Adam Clarke defines the term to consecrate, to separate from earth and common use, and to devote or dedicate to God and His service; second, to make pure or holy. In Scripture terms we have many references to the work of sanctification. Leviticus 11:14, God instructed Moses to sanctify the people, restricting the eating of unclean beasts, creeping things, etc. The people were to sanctify themselves for the eating of flesh furnished by God's special providence. In Joshua, 3:5-7-12 and 1. Samuel, 16:5, in which cases the people, the whole congregation were to be sanctified—Isaiah 5:16. God shall be sanctified in righteousness (13:3). I have commanded my sanctified ones (66:17). Sanctify themselves in gardens (Jeremiah 1:5). I sanctified and ordained the prophet (Ezk. 20:40; 36:23). I will be sanctified in you (Joel 1:14; 2:15). Sanctify ye a fast. In the New Testament (John 10:36). Say ye of him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world thou has blaspheme because I said I am the Son of God. If I do not the works of my Father believe me not. Christ prayed sanctify them through thy truth (John 17:17-19). For their sakes I sanctify myself; dedicate my life for their salvation (Acts 20:32; 26:18). In this place Paul commands the elders of the Ephreians to God and to the word of God's grace. He was able to build up and give an inheritance among all of them which are sanctified and to the word of His grace (Romans 15:16). Being sanctified by the Holy Ghost (Ephesians 5:26). That He might sanctify and cleanse it, the church, with the washing of water (I. Thessalonians, 26:23); and the very God of peace sanctify you holy, and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (I. Timothey, 4:5). For it (the meat) is sanctified by the word of God and prayer (II. Timothy, 2:21). If he therefore purge himself from these he shall be a vessel unto honor sanctified and meat for the Master's use and prepared unto every good work. This language implies the separation of a man from the world, its maxims, habits and ways. In the 22d verse Paul says: "Flee also youthful lusts, but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Hebrews, 10:14—Perfected forever are them that are sanctified. Hebrews 13:12—Wherefore Jesus also that He might sanctify the people with His own blood suffered without the veil. I. Peter, 3:16—Sanctify the Lord Jesus in your own hearts; to wit, give Him full possession and entire surrender to His service. Jude 1st—To them that are sanctified by God their Father in all this. From all those Scripture references it is clear that, after the preliminary works of repentance, faith, regeneration, conversion and justification, there must be a distinct work that follows, and this work is called sanctification. Holiness: Separated unto the Lord; devoted unto His service; the things which we once loved we now hate. Justification implies freedom from the guilt of past life; clear before the law. Sanctification: Separated, purified from the love of those things' once loved; "being made free" from sin and become servants to God; we have your fruits unto holiness and the end everlasting life. The doctrine of sanctification has always been recognized as essential in the attainment of a true Christian character by the Methodist church, and is based upon the foundation of the word of God that will stand as impregnable as the Rock of Ages. "Without holiness no man shall see the Lord." As to the belief in this doctrine it is conceded by Christians generally that men must attain perfection before they can appear in the august presence of the God of the universe, and it is declared in Scripture that even the stars are not pure in His sight. This describes the highest conception of God's character. But man is comparatively holy to the extent that with the blessings of justification and other elements of saving grace, that, by prayer and faith and other means of grace, he may attain perfect love to God his Father, and man his brother. Take the hymn by Charles Wesley: Oh joyful sound of gospel grace, Christ shall in me appear. I even I shall see His face, I shall be holy here. He visits now this house of clay, He shakes His future home, Oh wouldst thou Lord on this glad On would st thou Lord on this glad day Into thy temple come. With me I know I feel thou art, But this can not suffice, Unless thou plantest in my heart A constant paradise. Although most Christians accept the doctrine of sanctification they believe it is only attained at death. If so what of those who die suddenly without time for preparations by sanctification? Then we must either accept the doctrine of the Catholics of pergatory, which means purging after death, or that the individual is lost who did not have time to seek sanctification. We should strive to understand the true meaning of the term. Sanctification, or holiness, which in comparative language is almost synonymous to sanctify, to consecrate. A minister of God ordained to the work of the Gospel as with the ancient priest. Under the Mosaic economy is to seperate that man holy and apart from every other duty. Then to the preaching of the Gospel, and the work of the church, hence the holy orders, the deaconate, the elders and the bishops in the Methodist church and most orthodox churches, and all appertaining to its appointments, the rostrum, the altar rails and the vessels used in the holy eucharist, sanctified, consecrated and devoted holy and absolutely to this object. Their use for any other purpose would be regarded as sacrilegious and unwarranted. Let us hold on to the old principles of our holy religion. It is no proof that it is not attainable because so few have attained it. Is it any proof that riches are not attainable because so few obtain them? In this case we lay blame to the cause of failure in not using the means to the ends. It may as truly be said of the Christian if he does not use the means in his reach, namely, faith in the word of God, the power and the influence of the Spirit, the efficacy of the blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse men from sin, should we wonder at a failure? Oh, for a heart to praise my God, A heart from sin set free, A heart that always feels Thy blood So freely split for me. LOUIS HENEKEN, GROCER. Successor to Theo. Temple. The splendid grocery at 2001 Market street, formerly owned by Mr. Theo, H. Temple, has changed hands. Mr. Louis Hencken 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. DAISY WARE COMING.

General covenant and communion services at 3 o'clock. Dr. E. C. Cole assisted Pastor May. Rev. May delivered a short sermon at 8:15, after which short addresses were delivered by Deacons R. C. Bowman. William Berry, Frank Gravett, L. W. Fields and Brother George Washington. These speeches were all complimentary to Dr. May's administration. Prof. John A. Agee, principal of Garnett school, delivered a pointed as well as a touching address at the covenant meeting. The most touching hour ever witnessed in Corinthian church was at 9:40 p. m. Dr. and Mrs. May stood upon the pulpit while the great throng of members and friends passed forward and book their hands. Members wept aloud, and the departing pastor often came to tears. Dr. May closed the services by saying: "Satisfied on every point, knowing I'm loved by you all, I shall always love you. With this, I bid you a loving, but I hope not eternal good-bye." He is the prime favorite of all the ex-pastors. Dr. May and wife left Thursday morning over the L. & N. for Savannah, Ga. They will spend a day and night with Dr. May's relatives in Nashville. They will reach Savannah Thursday at 7:35 p. m. Success to the Missourians in Georgia. The talk of the town is the Knight Templars' annual ball at Douglass hall.

Thousands of Houses Destroyed and Hundreds of Human Lives Have Been Lost. Naples, Italy.—Every day that passes gives new evidence of the magnitude of the Vesuvian catastrophe. Thursday's visit of King Victor Emmanuel to Ottajano revealed new tragedies. At a certain point his majesty was obliged to abandon his motor car and went forward on horseback amid constant danger, his horse floundering through four feet of ashes, stumbling into holes, blinded by the fall of large cinders and the target for falling basaltic masses. In the presence of the king, 129 more bodies were extricated from the ruins, the white and red sand falling as though they were determined not to relinquish their victims. The dead at Ottajano are said to number 550. The latest reports show that 243 houses have been damaged at Portici, 195 at San Giovanni and Teduccio, 432 at Resina and 1,000 at Torre del Greco. It is impossible to determine the exact number of buildings demolished at Torre Annunziata. It is estimated that about 5,000 houses in all have been partly or entirely destroyed. In the villages on the Ottajano side of the mountain all the houses are damaged. At Nola desolation reigns, the place having been almost entirely abandoned. Showers of ashes and sand are falling on Capri, 19 miles from Vesuvius, where many wealthy foreigners own villas. Everybody is fleeing in terror, and the beautiful country homes and luxurious city hotels are practically deserted. WILL NOT FLEE TO MEXICO Dowie Will Fight For Complete Restoration of Power, Both Temporal and Ecclesiastical. Chicago.—"First Apostle" John Alexander Dowie will not turn tail and flee to Mexico. He will wage a vigorous legal warfare to regain control of Zion City, and as soon as he considers that he has taken the proper preliminary steps, he will descend upon that place and proclaim himself the only and "first apostle." This statement is authorized by "Dr." Dowie himself and by the firm of lawyers who represent him. In this connection, Attorney P. C. Haley, of the firm of Eddy, Haley and Wetten, who represent Dr. Dowie and his counsellors, made the following statement: "We have advanced and will advance only one condition—complete restoration of power, temporal as well as ecclesiastical, and a demand for an absolute retraction of the slanderous statements made by General Overseer Voliva and his followers against the moral character of Dowie." A BIG BUNCH OF TORNADOES Seven Were Observed East and North of Great Bend, Kas., in One Day, Doing Much Damage. Topeka, Kas.-Not less than seven en tornadoes were seen east and north of Great Bend, Barton county, Thursday afternoon.

Three years ago a number of tornadoes occurred in the same neighborhood, doing much damage to property. Twister at Stanford, Kas. Wichita, Kas.—A terrible tornado struck at Stafford, Kas., at five o'clock Thursday afternoon, resulting in injury to several persons and demolishing several houses. The storm came from the southwest, passed over the business part of the town without damage, first striking two blocks east of Main street. Here the home of Fred Tanner and the parsonage of the Congregational church were demolished. The Quaker church was blown down, the debris falling upon the home of Mrs. Ella Granger, which was also destroyed. Mrs. Granger was injured, but not seriously. Another tornado is reported at Bushton, 50 miles north of Stafford. Fatal Tornado at Briggs, Tex. Bertram, Tex.-The little town of Briggs, about 18 miles north of here, was swept by a tornado about five o'clock Thursday afternoon and almost entirely destroyed. Two persons are reported killed and 30 injured, six fatally. FOUNDED FARMERS' UNION Death of Newton Gresham, Founder and Organizer of the Farmers' Union, at Point, Tex. Point.

Czar Declines Witte's Resignation. St. Petersburg, Russia. — The Strana, a conservative liberal newspaper, says that it has learned from high authority that the emperor has declined to accept Premier Witte's resignation. MISSOURI GLEANINGS. Mabel Haley's Body Recovered. Brookfield—The body of Miss Mabel Haley, aged 20, daughter of Dr. Robert Haley, a former member of the state legislature, was found in the Long branch of Elk creek. The young woman left her home secretly during a severe storm on the night of November 22, under circumstances that in the light of later events led her relatives to fear she had ended her own life. Miss Haley was afflicted with consumption, and in fits of despondency had on several occasions threatened to kill herself. The most elaborate search for the young woman after her disappearance failed to disclose the least trace of her. It was thought she had gone to the creek and drowned herself, and a diligent but unavailing search was made for the body. The creek was dragged at all points where she might have plunged in, and dynamite was exploded at a number of points in the hope of bringing the body to surface. The entire town joined in the search. C. C. Armstrong, a meat-market man, who passes over the bridge in going to his home from town, saw the body of a woman floating in the creek. It proved to be that of the young woman who had left her home 138 days before. St. Charles in Darkness. St. Charles—The city electric light power house boilers and other machinery at the power plant collapsed, and the city is in darkness.

The city council is debating the question of consolidating the city waterworks and electric light plants. Stage Driver Drowned. West Plains—While fording the north fork of White river at Hodo ferry, Sam Thompson, driver of the mail hack between West Plains and Gainesville, was drowned.

Accused Election Clerk Suicides. Kansas City—Frank J. Stegmiller, politician and blacksmith, fired both barrels of a shotgun into his head, dying instantly.

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.

Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispense news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and 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.

Bradley --- EASTER MORNING Easter blossoms in the SUR, Sweet and dainty, every one, Like the dawn, so pure and bright, Shedding forth their love and light. Easter bells that ring and ring, Making every glad heart sing, Christ like in their very sound, Spreading truth and love around And again the story old To the little ones is told; Story old—yet ever new, Of our Christ—is told to you. And so full His Grace we feel As we at the altar kneel. L. M. D. W. IN BROOKLYN EAGLE HISTORY OF EASTER. Day Commemorates Resurrection of Christ—A Movable Festival Among Christians. It is weli known that in the early Christian church for a long series of years warm disputes took place as to the proper date on which to observe Easter. The churches of Asia Minor, following what is called "The tradition of St. John," kept the fourteenth day of the Jewish month Nisan. The western churches, however, supported by the church at Jerusalem and a few others, said it was necessary that a Friday should always be set apart to commemorate Christ's death, and a Sunday His resurrection. The contest grew so warm that each side excommunicated the other. Surely trivialities could hardly go much further! It is difficult for us to imagine that our fathers could have disputed, and separated the one from the other, over a matter of this kind; but it is true that the apple of discord which seemed to the people of that age to be made of gold, to their successors appears to be made only of iron or clay. With us, as is well known, Easter is what is called a movable festival. It is always held on the next Sabbath if the vernal full moon should fall on a Sunday, then, to avoid all conformity with the Jewish practice, Easter is not kept till the following Sabbath. The vernal full moon is that which either takes place on March 21 or on the next date after March 21. If the vernal full moon falls on March 21, and that day happens to be a Sunday, then Easter cannot be held till April 25, which is the latest date on which Easter can fall, the earliest being March 22. This is certainly a very mechanical contrivance, and one which most people find it difficult to understand or remember. Owing to obvious connection between Easter and the Jewish Passover, the French call the former Paques (from the Hebrew Pesech, which means a passing over), and obviously some such title as this would be more appropriate than ours, which comes from the Saxon goddess Eostre, believed to the same as the Syrian Astarte and the Greek and Roman I wonder if the anguished moon looked down Through all that long last night And buried in her scarred breast, lean and Which paled the purple cast where morning broke, And sang, inspired by God's own breath, "There is no death! There is no death!" There is no death, O hearts that throb in vain With longing, pulsing tide, Or in love's fullness, nigh akin to pain, Unfearingly abide; There is no death, O soul whom niggard fate Has left unsatisfied. The cycles swing and joy those lips await Who oft have sung on earth in pain, "I rise again! I rise again!" No sacrifice, O Self, can blot thee out, Or satisfy the debt As was thy Christ, must thou be crucified. But with those wounds in hands and feet, 'E'en Self finds resurrection sweet! Rejoice, O heart whose treasures all have won That dimmer, farther shore! The stone that angels moved away that night And sing as sang the birds that morn: : "There is no death, for Life is born!" Detroit Free Press. Venus, who was specially worshiped in the spring season as the mother and giver of animal and vegetable life. From the earliest ages various customs and superstitions have associated themselves with Easter. As at Christmas it used to be believed that all water was turned into wine and that all cattle knelt in their stalls in adoration of the infant Saviour, so it was held that at Easter the sun danced in honor of Christ's resurrection—Chicago Standard. THE RABBIT AND EASTER. How the Little Animal Came to Be Connected with the Celebration of the Day. The part the hare plays in the celebration of Easter has nothing whatever to do with the resurrection of Christ. It is a survival of Teutonic folklore of unknown antiquity, and its religious connection is with nature-worship, and that phase of it in which the moon was a chief divinity. The hare became a symbol of the moon, for several reasons—because it comes out at night to feed; because the female carries her young for a month, representing the lunar cycle; because the young are born with their eyes open and were fabled never to close them, thus resembling the moon, "open-eyed watcher of the night;" in one way or another there grew up a fund of stories in which the connection of the hare, the lunar period and the paschal full moon, which fixes the date of Easter, developed so that it gave rise to many popular customs, in Germany, among the Scandinavian peoples and in England. The queerest bit of this folklore is that of the white hare, which the children are told comes into the house on Easter eve and leaves in corners eggs adorned in beautiful colors, which every good child may have. The egg was in religious legend from the oldest times a symbol of opening life and of immortality, and naturally of the resurrection, so here we have the people coupling the two As for the rabbit, he is not the same as the European hare, but he is his nearest American congener, and other legends concerning the rabbit's foot and the full of the moon exist among the negroes of the south.

Oh, yes; we go him at last. God 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. If our good subscribers will pay up we can employ at least three regular collectors. Watch for our lady collectors. Pay them and don't say you'll see the manager. Why is it that a certain Negro so-called a doctor is mad with the staff of the Palladium? A Negro that carries a revolver, and will bet my life against a peanut that this same so-called doctor will be in the holdover soon. We do not wish to make a breach between the Mushrooms and the washer-women. We only wish to adopt the motto of the Missouri League of Republican Clubs: "There is so much bad in the best of us, And so much good in the worst of us, That it ill becomes any of us To talk about the rest of us." We are still waiting to hear from Revs. Ferrell and Pruitt, the big "I ams" of Knights of Tabor, concerning the money due Mrs. Mamie Robinson on her father's (Rev. Moses Dixon) copyright. This is an honorable debt and it has been reported by the secretary and other officers of the organization that the money has been paid. We dropped from our mailing list 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; East St. Louis, Ill., 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. We understand that there is a great deal of talk over the arrest of two or three girls about their conduct on the street. We wish to say that all that has been done was for the right. The time has come when we, as a race, must assist in the great work of reform, and keep it up until the boys and girls do right. Mark what we say: We are in the "cleaning out" business, and we will not let up until our girls learn that books and boys won't mix. If mothers indorse such actions, they are not fit to raise children. 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 intention 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 to 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.

They say that Carondelet park is the most attractive spot in that section of the city. Go and spend a pleasant time. Keep in mind the date of the Provident hospital charity ball. It is an institution that deserves your assistance. The Ladies' Aid Sewing Circle of Quinn's chapel in Carondelet, are getting ready for their spring bazar, May 10th and 11th. Mr. Charles Williams, of 2218 Morgan, was brought home very sick Monday last. His wife is much concerned about him. Mr. J. H. Kent met with another accident last Monday by having his buggy overturned. He was thrown from the buggy and seriously hurt. Miss H. A. Gordon, of 2708 Morgan, is very sick at this writing. She is the niece of W. C. Gordon, the undertaker. We hope for her early recovery. Every member of Antioch Missionary Circle is expected to attend their regular monthly meeting Sunday, April 15, at the close of 11 o'clock service. It is rumored that cards will soon be out announcing the engagement of Mr. Ralph Algernon Stone of this city, to Miss Sadie Harper, of Sedalia, Mo. Mrs. Cole, of 3527 Lawton avenue, is making things interesting for real estate agents. She has made deals for, and sold several houses and lots in the past two weeks. Mrs. Lucy True, of 007 Kansas street, is enjoying life, and says things may be quite hard in all sections of the city, but "Watch me on Easter! I am yet with the leaders." Mrs. Emma Murphy, of 716 North Jefferson avenue, is quite sick at this writing. Time has been during her sickness that she thought of leaving us for the other world. We yet hope for her recovery. Mr. William Hill, of Denver, Col., arrived in this city last Monday. He has a horseshoe patent, which was granted April 5. He is stopping with Mr. H. Ball, of 4545 Kennerly avenue. He has a fortune if he holds to it. The directors and auxiliary of Provident hospital must raise about $1,500 every year to defray expenses. You will have an opportunity to assist them by attending the charity ball at Douglass hall on the 27th inst. M. C. B. Mason, A. M. D. D., secretary of the Freedman's Aid and Southern Education society, will lecture for the Y. M. C. A., under the auspices of the education committee. Watch for the day and date. Clarence C. White, the eminent violinist of Washington, D. C., will appear in a grand recital for the benefit of the Colored Y. M. C. A. at St. Paul's chapel Monday night, May 7, 1906. He will be assisted by Miss Florence G. Pigeon, of Lincoln Institute, piano soloist and accompanist, and the best local talent. Mrs. Martha Nevins (nee Childres), of 2804 Laclede avenue, has been awarded a gold medal at the World's fair of 1904 for her excellent cooking. She demonstrated cooking with the use of N. K. Fairbank's Cottolene. Mrs. Nevins is an adept in the art, and the medal was bestowed on her without hesitation. Mrs. Mary A. Thornton, of 315 South Twenty-second street, has returned after spending a few days with her mother, Mrs. Brandon, at Edwardsville, Ill. We are glad to note that her brother, Charles Brandon, who fell and was injured a short while ago, has almost recovered. "The more comes in with a free good will, Makes the band go sweeter still." On last Wednesday Mrs. Hunter, of 2726 Lawton avenue, presented her husband with a bouncing babe. At the thought of it, Mr. Hunter seems to grow younger. He says: "Oh, my friend, we have another one. Come and see it." Mother and babe are doing well. Cards are out announcing the engagement of Miss Daisy Morretta Williams, of Fort Worth, Tex., to Rev. Dr. Sherman Moten.

We believe we saw the form of Mr. Tom Turpin. He is looking well. What's the matter with the do-right preacher who does not pay his tailor? We hope he will straighten this out. The mothers who dress their girls beyond their means are only sowing the seed of future trouble. Morgan and Theresa avenue is a hang-out for Negro loafers. They use some terrible language. Let the police break this den up. Another schoolgirl has caused the detectives to give her some sound talk. Oh, the thug dudes are getting shy on Market street. 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. Next week we will fire off our last gun at the Big Indian No. 2, Prof. W. T. Vernon. Watch the Palladium. Four or five affidavits will appear in its columns. 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. We called the attention of our Negro detectives concerning a certain pill roller that prides himself on carrying a revolver. This pill roller will be taken in soon. Next week we will probably give the history of a little man, called a doctor, who left Chattanagar, Tenn. He has been in St. Louis many years and seems to think he is the whole show. It is an undisputable fact that most of the mothers from 18 years of age to 33 years, do not know how to raise children. They themselves should have irreproachable characters before they attempt to train children. There are about one hundred Negroes that lie around and haven't done a day's work 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. SOMETHING NEW AT211 N.JEFFERSON Diamond Ring's GIVEN AWAY FREE.

Dr, Allen addressed a large and en- thusiastic audience in Quinn chapel, Jefferson City, April-6, and will leave for Washington in a few days,in which city he will address Bethel Literary, and also the M street high school. Miss Anna J. Cooper, principal. Many social functions have been planned for Dr. Allen’s pleasure while in the city of magnificent distances. Miss S. T. Dabb, state secretary of the Young Women’s Christian asso ciation, made her official visit to the institute branch, Sunday, April 8 and held two very interesting and in: spiring meetings. Lincoln Institute’s business course, conducted by Prof. West, is one of the most practical and popular of the courses of training offered in the In- stitution, Miss Stella _MeCulloch, who completed the prescribed studies in 1905, is now conducting a success: ful business school in Texas. Several others are making it a source of rev- enue in their respective communities, and Dr. Allen hopes to make import- ant additions to this department with the ensuing year,*so much is.he en- couraged by results, already ob- tained. The junior class of 1906 having completed trigonometry, is studying commiercial law, both as an excellent preparation for political economy in the senior class and for practical use after graduation. Miss Florence Pigeon, of the de- partment of instrumental nmusie will accept a pressing invitation from the managers of the Clarence White re- cital in St. Louis, to act as accom- paniest during Mr. White's cngage- ment in that city. Dr. Allen's annual banquet to the senior class given Wednesday, April 1ith, was in every sense a grand af- fair and heartily enjoyed by all pres- ae a A U. K. &D. of A. Last Wednesday the Good Samari tan Council met in. their regular meet ing, and for the installation of thei officers. ‘The council turned out almos to their entire strength. Many members were present from other councils. Mrs. Josephine Jones of the Rising Sun Council of East St Louis, presided, and installed the off cers of the Good Samaritan couneil, as sisted by Mrs. Josephine Brown, of Belleville, W. E. Q. of Queen of Shebs Council No, 700. Mrs. Jones, with alt the dignity of queen, gave much wholesome advice. The secretary of Rising Sun of East St. Louis was also present. After the installation a splendid re- past was spread by the ladies of Good Samaritan council, and everything the heart could wish for was served. , Mrs, §, A.

My doctor. from a careful analysis of the urine and a diagnosis of my case, had told me I could not live six weeks. I was struck down in the street with kidney trouble, and for a whole year could not leave the house.

I was struck down in the street with kidney trouble, and for a whole year could not leave the house. I lost flesh, my eyes failed me, I bloated at times, my back hurt and I suffered a living death. There seemed no hope until I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. Then I began to improve. The pain left gradually, the swellings subsided, I gained appetite and weight, and, to make a long story short, I got well!" Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. SCRAPS OF SCIENCE. The fiftieth anniversary of the invention of the aniline dye is to be celebrated by the world of science by the placing of a portrait of the inventor, Dr. Perkin, in the National Portrait gallery, and a bust in the rooms of the Chemical society at Burlington House, London. Gas is the fundamental basis of the sense of smell, says Dr. John Aitken, F. R. S., according to the Scientific American. Derthelot says that one hundredth of a quadrillionth of a gram of musk can be detected by the nose. Dr. Aitken has found that of 24 odorous substances investigated not one gave off its perfume in solid particles; nothing but gases and vapors escaped from any of them. Two distinct organizations, both composed of men eminent in science, are studying the sun with extraordinary care. One, the Solar Commission, established in 1903, is devoting its researches to the effect of the sun on the weather and climatic changes of the earth. The other, the Solar Union, formed in 1904, is endeavoring to ascertain more than is now known about the sun itself. Both are European associations. Prof. Spring, a Belgian who has been studying the causes of color in water, under various conditions, says that if water otherwise entirely pure contains one part of every 10,000,000 of ferric hydrate, an iron compound, it will appear green, where the depth is considerable. With less than one part of ferric hydrate in every 20,000,000 it will be blue. But less than one part of vegetable mold or humus matter in every 40,000,000 will make the blue tint of water disappear. By exploding cordite in closed steel cylinders Sir William Crookes has succeeded in producing certain eight-sided microscopic crystals which, so far as examined, resemble diamonds. If further experiments confirm this, a new method of diamond formation will have been discovered. Prof. Crookes estimates that the temperature and pressure attained inside the cylinders at the time of explosion were respectively 5,400 degrees absolute and about 120,000 pounds a square inch. INDIAN PROVERBS. The coward shoots with shut eyes. Small things talk loud to the Indian's eye. No Indian ever sold his daughter for a name. When a fox walks lame old rabbit jumps. The paleface's arm is longer than his word. A squaw's tongue runs faster than the wind's legs. There is nothing so eloquent as a rattlesnake's tail. The Indian scalps his enemy; the paleface skins his friends. There will be hungry palefaces so long as there is any Indian land to swallow. When a man prays one day and steals six, the Great Spirit thunders and the evil one laughs. There are three things it takes a strong man to hold: A young warrior, a wild horse and a handsome squaw. BOYS SHOULD NOT- Laugh at the suggestions made by the man over you. Attempt to put a wrong construction on a girl's words. Imagine assurance will supply the place of knowledge. Sneer at those who are trying to give you good advice. Refuse to try an experiment because you think it has no merit. Refuse to explain honestly why you fall to keep your appointment. Think it makes you appear large to belittle the ability of others. Speak slightlyly of the man who wants to curb your enthusiasm. Write a letter in a way that an expert is required to decipher it. Spend your cash recklessly with the idea of deceiving those around you.

"I helped my case along by the hardwork system," reports a plump girl to Mme. Julie D'Arcy. "I worked as hard as I could for three hours a day. I rose at 6:30, which is a good, timely hour, and I did a deal of housework; nothing quite thins you like doing housework. I like it and it certainly takes off my flesh. "I scrubbed the floor, washed dishes, bathed the windows and astonished the servants by sweeping my own room. Housework makes you pretty, they say, for it gives both mind and body plenty of exercise. I had my fill of it and I grew thinner and prettier. "I personally know a famous beauty who takes her place at a little washboard every day and heroically launches her lingerie waists. 'It is so good for the waist line,' says she, as she scrubs at the tub." "And I know another who takes the broom in hand every day, and another who polishes the furniture and dogs household stunts generally. One day she beats the rugs on the roof, and another day she puts down a stair carpet and still another she washed windows. 'It is all in the interests of losing weight,' she explained to me as she USE THE SCRUBBING BRUSH. showed me how her belt line was shrinking. "I have tried the Turkish bath for reducing weight and they are good. But one must work in accord with them. You can't expect the Turkish bath to do it all. You must do part for yourself. I used to take a Turkish bath in the middle of the day and spend the rest of the day in bed eating chocolates. Then, sometimes I took a bath in the morning and in the afternoon I slept, waking only for a good cup of coffee and some nice cakes. One day I came from the Turkish bath, ate a heavy luncheon at a ladies' club, came home and slept until next day. I called it the rest cure. It added five pounds to my weight. "For breakfast one small cup of coffee, and all the stale brown bread you want. If you need butter you can sprinkle salt upon your bread, which tastes quite a little like butter if your eyes are shut. "In the middle of the morning you can drink water, and the more the merrier. At noon you can have a tiny cup of strong hot tea and all the brown bread you want and all the fruit, but nothing else. You can drink hot water in the middle of the afternoon if you feel thirsty, but don't take it hot enough to burn your stomach. "For dinner at night eat anything you want and all you want of it. It is your one meal meal a day. You practically fill up now for the whole day. Eat your fill and don't get up hungry. But, on the other hand, don't stuff. Don't make your evening meal later than six o'clock and, if you are where you can get your meal when you feel like it, don't eat later than five o'clock. "In the evening take a nice long walk or dance or play cards, anything to occupy your mind. So much for the diet. LITTLE HINTS Real flowers on your hat are chic. Burnt-straw hats are to be worn again. A huge bow on the low shoe is quite out of date. You can wear any style of coat you find becoming. Velvet coat buttons are newer and smarter than bone buttons. Some of the new striped dress materials are painfully zebra-like. The new flowered ribbons of silver and gold are dazzlingly lovely. Necklaces of tiny shells in lovely pastel colors are the very newest. Veils of fancy white lace with plaited chiffon borders are new in the shops. The old-time "Charlie" hat wouldn't know itself, it is so pretty this year. The Hair Boa. A young reader, who signs herself "Northern Inquiler," asks how a girl of 16 should wear her hair, whether more than one bow is proper and how many yards in each bow. Since the receipt of this letter Madame Merril has made a careful study of the subject and finds that there is almost no limit to the number of bows or the number of yards they may contain. But to prevent one's head from having the appearance of a bargain counter or a remnant sale, either one or two bows with three-quarters of a yard in each, or a full yard if only one bow is worn, should be the choice. The prevailing style is the soft pompadour in front with the hair caught up on top with a bow, the ends braided and turned under and fastened with a second bow. MADAME MERRIL CARE OF THE FINGER NAILS If too much "manicuring" is done, the nails are hopelessly injured; the cuticle becomes so roughened at the base and the nails so bruised that the whole length must grow out before any improvement can possibly take place, warns Hortense Prevost. There Las always been a sort of "omen" attached to the disfiguring white spots found on the nails; so many on the index finger meaning something; so many on the second finger meaning something else; almost like the proverbial "goosebone" it seems, are the spots to be considered, when it comes to prophecy. This is, of course, utter nonsense; every one of these blemishes means a hurt to the tender young nail while it was under the cuticle at the base, or just beyond that point, and for each one of them the usual steel "cuticle" knife is largely responsible. Either that or the sharp point of the steel file. This same sharp point, too, is responsible for the rough line directly under the end of the nail that is so hard to keep clean; where dirt seems to just naturally stick and refuse to budge. If the nails were never touched underneath with any sort of hard or soft instrument the flesh there would never roughen and so not retain dirt. It is far better to use a bit of soft linen wrapped around a toothpick, after softening the fingertips in a cleansing wash. I have seen a set of brittle, broken, and altogether unlovely nails transformed in six months to a fairly presentable condition by the use of the plain vaseline called "petroleum jelly" that costs five cents a jar. It seems to have a decided effect in hardening the layers of the nails and keep them from breaking. But vaseline alone will not make the nails beautiful; it will make them more tractable, as it were; more amenable to other treatment. It takes constant attention to the nail while it is growing, and plenty of care to bring it to the crowning perfection of the almond-shaped, pink and smooth, with the "moons" showing at the base of each rosy nail. It is soemtimes in the endeavor to bring out "moon" much of the harm is done; only by patient softening of the rim at the base, and its gradual recession, can the desired effect be obtained. As to those "moons" being a sign of "blue blood," I have noted them on the nails of a man or woman who could not, as far as human knowledge is concerned, have a drop of such azure fluid in generations of ancestors. Certainly, too, in such cases, it was not the care and attention bestowed on the nails that brought out the crescents; simply one of those things that just "happen," most likely, and for which no reason seems to be forthcoming. A CHRISTENING PARTY. Pink Is the Color for the Decorations —About Music and Form of Service. A "reader" requests plans for a christening party for a child six months old, so we reprint the one given some months ago as there is nothing any prettier. To begin with, the rooms were lighted with pink candles, which were placed in a row on top of the piano, on the mantels and on top of the book-cases. The gas jets were turned down very low and were shaded with pink crepe tissue paper. Palms were banked in the front window and the shades drawn. The hour was four in the afternoon. On a small table there was a silver bowl surrounded by a wreath of pink roses; this was the "font." A quartette of soprano, tenor, alto and bass voices sang; "Fill the Font with Roses," accompanied by piano and violin, and to this beautiful music the baby was carried downstairs by its grandfather followed by the parents and members of the family; the Episcopal service requires sponsors. When the minister began the ceremony the baby was given to the father. After the prayer a "lullaby" was sung and the child was taken upstairs. Light refreshments of white and brown raisin bread sandwiches were served from a pink rose decorated table in the dining-room, eight young ladies taking turns in pouring the chocolate. There were plenty of sugared almonds which are always used in France at a christening party. MADAME MERBL Grace and Symmetrv. Stop lunching, or, if you must lunch, confine your lunch to stewed fruit, toast and tea. When you di e, dine wisely, but not too well. Eat a chop, but take very little soup and use moderation along with your punch and sweets. For breakfast take one cup of coffee and some rather hard toast and rolls. Follow these diet directions and you will return once more to the grace and symmetry which you had when you joined the club. Eat Fruit. Fruit eaten before breakfast or at the meals helps to reduce redness of the nose and otherwise improves the complexion. Care should be taken not to eat the skin or seeds or any other indigestible portion of the fruit. It must, of course, be perfectly ripe. Too Stout. Stand erect with your clothing loose. Tip forward without bending your knees until your fingers touch your toes. If you cannot easily touch the tips of your shoes without bending your knees, then you are too stout. 'Jesus' Power Over Disease and Death" — International Sunday School Lesson for April 15. LESSON TEXT—Luke 7:31-17. Memory verses, 14, 15. GOLDEN TEXT—"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life."—John 11:25. TIME—Same as last lesson, the summer of A. D. 28, in the middle of the second year of Jesus' ministry. PLACE—Capernaum, on the northern shore of the Lake of Gallilee, and Nain, a town southwest of Capernaum, seven miles from Nazareth. SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES.—Read the references to Capernaum, Matt. 4:13-8; 8:5-1; 9: 11; 12: 7; 12: 8; 18:2; Mark 1:16-34; 2:1-4; John 4: 6; 6: 17; 24-7. Compare this miracle for a Gentle with that for another Gentle, the Syrophenician, Matt. 15:21-28; Mark 7:24-30. Compare the miracle at Nain with the raising of Jairstu' daughter, Matt. 9:22-25; Mark 5:38-42; Luke 8:49-56, and with the raising of Lazarus, John 11. Contrast it with the resurrection miracles of Elijah, 1 Kings 17:19-23, and of Elsina, 2 Kings 4:32-7. Compare it with the raising of Dorcas, Acts 9:36-42, and of Eutychus, Acts 20:7-12. Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 1. "When He had ended all His sayings" Those of the Sermon on the Mount. V. 2. "And a certain centurion's servant." This centurion was a heathen by birth (v. 9), and was probably in the service of Antipas."—International Critical Commentary. "All Palestine was under Roman military government; this centurion was probably connected with the garrison at Capernaum." "Who was dear unto him." The adjective "does not necessarily imply an affectionate relation between the master and the servant, though such may well have existed. V. 3. "And when he heard of (R. V., "concerning") Jesus." Christ had already worked many wonderful miracles and spoken many wise sayings in Capernaum, so that the centurion had the best foundation for his faith. "He sent unto Him the elders of the Jews." Leading, representative men. V. 4. "Besougest Him instantly." R. V., "earnestly," as in the phrase, "continuing instant in prayer." V. 5. "For he loveth our nation." This Gentile soldier found in the Jews "a purity, reverence, simplicity and nobleness of life which he had not found elsewhere."—Dean Plumptre, V. 6. "Then Jesus went with them," saying, according to Matthew, "I will come and heal him." As they drew near to the house, "the centurion sent friends to Him," with another message, "I am not worthy that Thou shouldest enter under my roof." This feeling of unworthiness was due partly (1) to his own consciousness of sin, and partly (2) to his knowledge of the Jewish feeling that "as the houses of Gentiles were 'unclean,' entrance into them, and still more, familiar fellowship, would 'defile.'"—Edersheim. V. 7. "Say in a word." "Literally, 'Say with a word, and let my servant be healed.' The word is to be the instrument with which the healing is to take place, instead of Jesus' coming in person."—Int. Crit. Com. V. 8. "For I also (like Jesus, but in another sphere) am a man set under authority," etc. "He means: 'I also, though a very humble person in the army, under the authority of more important officers, still have a command over a body of men who do implicitly as I bid them." V. 9. "He marveled at him." "Only twice do we read in the Gospel that the Saviour marveled; once at the unbelief of His fellow citizens at Nazareth (Mark 6: 6), once at the faith of this heathen."—Van Oosterzee. V. 10. "And they that were sent." Christ's message through them to the centurion was, "As thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee" (Matt. 8:13). "So be the servant whole." V. 11. "The day after." R. V., "soon afterwards." "He went into a city called Nain." A small town 25 miles to the southwest. V. 12. "When he came nigh to the gate of the city." Nearly all towns and villages were surrounded by walls, as a defense against marauders. "Behold, there was a dead man carried out." "The bier on which the body was borne was, in the case of the poorer classes, a simple board supported on two poles. There was no coif; the corpse was simply covered with a large cloth."—Abbott. V. 13. "The Lord." A title first used by Luke in this place, perhaps because in this miracle Christ showed Himself supremely the Lord of life and death. V. 14. "And He came and touched the bier." "Of wickerwork. The body lay with its face turned up, uncovered, and its hands folded on the breast."—Edersheim. V. 15. "And he that was dead." "The spectators were sure that he was dead, for they were carrying him out to bury him." V. 16. "And there came a fear on all." R. V., "And fear took hold on all." "A great prophet is risen up among us." "They might have thought of Elijah and the widow of Sarepta; of Elisha and the lady of the not far distant Shunem."—Farrar. V. 17. "And this rumor (R. V., "report") of Him went forth." "It would spread like wildfire far and wipe."—Ex. Greek Test. Lessons from Miracle at Nain. One of the blessed suggestions of the miracle is the arrival of Christ just at that time. Our life is like a game of anagrams, in which the letters of words are thrown into a jumble. Only God knows how to arrange them, and spell out the meaning for us. God wants worded prayers, but often, as at Nain, He answers the silent petitions of our griefs, our needs, our desires. (Isa. 65:24). What Christ said to the mourning widow He says to all who are borned down with sowow: "Weep not" CASTORIA For Infants and Children Bears The Signature Of Charl H. Hitchner. In Use For Over Thirty Years The Kind You Have Always Bought The late Gen. Joseph Wheeler, when a representative in congress, was traveling in a buggy along a country road in his district in Alabama. He overtook a mail carrier grooming under the weigher an enormous sack of stuff and seated beside him, "Why don't you have a horse?" said the general. "I have had three at different times," replied the carrier, "but they died. The work was too heavy." You mean that the burden of the mails was to great? "Yes, that's just it. There is a fool representing from the district who seated among a lot of truck that the mails are loaded all the time. This bag is full of such stuff; books and such." "How much money would buy you a horse?" asked the general, feeling in his pocket. "Horses are high now, answered the carrier. I couldn't get a good one for less than $80." That'll buy your horse," he said. The man gazed upon the money in astonishment, and could not find a word to say before the general drove off.

AN UNLUCKY THIRTEEN. They Were All Creditors and Not One Ever Got a Cent Due Them "Did you ever sit down at a table where there were just 133?" asked a man of his companion in a railway carriage. "Once," replied the latter. "Well, you never observed that any bad luck followed it. did you?" "Why, yes. Bad luck for most of the 13." "Any of them die?" "They know of. Never heard of any of them die." "Not enough victuals to go round?" queried the other. "Who's talking about victuals? There wasn't any victuals." "Thought you said you sat down to a table where there were 13 persons. "That's what I said. The table was in a lawyer's office. It was a meeting of my creditors. There were 12 of them. I was the other man." There was a long pause, and then the first speaker inquired: "In what way did the meeting prove unlucky, may I ask?" "None of them ever got a cent from me much longer than I have kept a deep sigh as he left the carriage. SAVED BABY LYON'S LIFE. Awful Sight from That Dreadful Complaint, Infantile Eczema - Mother Praises Cuticura Remedies. "Our baby had that dreadful complaint, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted him for several months, commencing at the top of his head, and at last covering his whole body. His sufferings were untold and constant misery, in fact, there was nothing we would not have done to have given him relief. We finally procured a full set of Cuticura Remedies, and in about three or four weeks he had a brighter spirit and really laughed, for the first time in a year. In about ninety days he was fully recovered. Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has always been our greatest pleasure, and there is nothing too good that we could say in their favor, for they certainly saved our baby's life, for they saved the sign that ever beheld, prior to the treatment of the Cuticura Remedies.

THE MISSIONARY FIELD. Missionaries are at work in 247 of the walled cities of China. There are still 1,500 walled cities without missionaries. The Jesuit fathers in charge of the Shanghai Catholic mission, in their recent annual report, announce an increase of 6,375 converts received during the year 1905 into the church. The year 1903 in the Presbyterian mission in Canton, China, was the best in its history. To the 20 churches there were 1,088 additions, and the local contributions amounted to $8,000.

Bishop Thoburn is chairman of the committee on the fund, and will go to India to take part in the celebration. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compounds The wonderful power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over the diseases of womankind is not because it is a stimulant, not because it is a palliative, but simply because it is the most wonderful tonic and reconstructor ever discovered to act directly upon the generative organs, positively curing disease and restoring health and vigor. Marvelous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures and physicians who have recognized the virtue of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and are fair enough to give credit where it is due. If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in severe cases of female ills, as they know by experience it can be relied upon to effect a cure. The following letter proves it. Dr. S. C. Brigham, of 4 Brigham Park, Fitchburg, Mass., writes: "It gives me great pleasure to say that I have found Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound very efficacious, and often prescribe it in my practice for female difficulties. "My oldest daughter found it very beneficial for a female troubles some time ago, and my youngest daughter is now taking it for a female stress, and is surely gaining in health and strength. "I freely advocate it as a most reliable specific in all diseases to which women are subject, and give it honest endorsement." Women who are troubled with painful or irregular periods, bloating (on fatulency), weakness of organs, displacements, inflammation or ulceration, can be restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If advice is needed write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising sick women free of charge. No other living person has had the benefit of a wider experience in treating female ills. She has guided thousands to health. Every suffering woman should ask for and follow her advice if she wants to be strong and well.

Theys CARTER'S LITTLE IVER PILLS. RHEUMATISM GURED RHEUMATISM GURED The Disease Yielded Roadily to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills After Other Treatment Failed. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism because they supply the necessary elements to the vitiated blood and enable nature to cast out the impurities and effect a cure. Mrs. A. Baker, of No. 119 Fitch street, Syracuse, N.Y., will furnish living evidence of the truth of this statement. "There has been rheumatism in my family ever since I can remember," she says. "My grandmother was a great sufferer from muscular rheumatism and my mother also had the disease in a mild form. About a year ago I had a hard cold and rheumatism caught me in my left knee. There were sharp pains, confined to the neighborhood of the knee and they seemed to go right into the bone. The pain I suffered was intense and I also had dizzy spells. "The doctors called my trouble urticial and sciatic rheumatism. When I didn't get better under their treatment my brother-in-law suggested that I try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I bought three boxes, and, by the time I had taken them, the pain and dizziness had entirely left me. I wanted to make sure of a cure so I bought three more boxes, but I didn't take quite all of them as I found that I was entirely cured. "Before I took the pills the pain was so severe that I had to cry at times and when I was cured I was so thankful and grateful and I am glad to recommend them to every one who suffers with rheumatism." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured severe cases of anemia, sciatica, nervousness, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia and St. Vitus' dance that have not responded to other modes of treatment. All drugstores sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

An Asheville man tells how right food did that which medicines had failed to accomplish: "For more than 15 years," he says, "I was afflicted with stomach trouble and intestinal indigestion, gas forming in stomach and bowels and giving me great distress. These conditions were undoubtedly due to the starchy food I ate, white bread, potatoes, etc., and didn't digest. I grew worse with time, till, 2 years ago, I had an attack which the doctor diagnosed as appendicitis. When the surgeon operated on me, however, it was found that my trouble was ulcer of the pancreas instead of appendicitis. "Since that time I have had several such attacks, suffering death, almost. The last attack was about 3 months ago, and I endured untold agonies." "The doctor then said that I would have to eat less starchy stuff, so I began the use of Grape-Nuts food, for I knew it to be pre-digested, and have continued same with most gratifying results. It has built me up wonderfully. I gained 10 pounds in the first 8 weeks that I used Grape-Nuts, my general health is better than ever before, my brain is clearer and my nerves stronger. "For breakfast and dinner, each, I take 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts with cream, a small slice of dry toast, an egg soft boiled and a cup of Postum; and I make the evening meal on Grape-Nuts and cream alone—this gives me a good night's rest and I am well again." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

The world has heard of the recent political changes in Norway, but not many know that that country is at present the scene of a great religious revival which rivals that in Wales, says the Chicago Interior. In 1896 there was present at a meeting of the Salvation Army in Chicago a young Norwegian sailor from Vanse, a town in the very south of the Scandinavian peninsula. He was not specially impressed by the services, but as he was leaving, a young woman laid a hand upon his arm and said: "God bless you. Come again." The kindly word led him to ask himself, "What is this religion which causes strangers to be interested in a wandering sailor?" He returned to the meetings a number of times, and eventually confessed Christ. He did not identify himself with the Army either then or subsequently, but returned to his seafaring life. He reappeared in the old home town five years later. Among the people of his own nationality he was gradually led into evangelistic services, and Dean Knudsen, now minister of ecclesiastical affairs in Norway, proved himself a warm friend. In Christianity he has had as many as 5,000 hearers at a time in the largest hall in the capital, and the Lutheran bishop of the city has taken a deep interest in his work. Ministers of the state church generally have opened their stately edifices to revival services, and personal workers, who have seen something of such meetings abroad, are invited by the Lutheran ministers to come in and aid them in a work which, strange as it appears to them, they feel to be of God. The young sailor, Lunde, is as simple in his ways and speech as Evan Roberts, and nothing outside of Wales compares with the work which is still in progress in Norway. It is needless to say that Prince Oscar Bernadotte takes a personal interest in the revival. A MUNIFICENT GIFT. Half a Million Dollars Given to Further Salvation Army Colonization Plans. Gen. William Booth, of the Salvation Army, has announced, says "The Presbyterian," a munificent gift of half a million dollars to the Army to be used in a home colonization scheme. The giver is George Herring, chairman of the City of London Electric Lighting company, and a prominent member of other corporations. Mr. Herring is also well-known throughout Great Britain as a philanthropist. He conducts a soup kitchen in Camden town, has built and endowed an institution known as the Haven of Rest, for gentlefolks brought to poverty through genuine misfortune, has furnished many Salvation Army shelters for the homeless and is a large benefactor to the Metropolitan hospital fund, of London. In a letter to the press Gen. Booth outline his plans for "home colonization." He says the Army proposes to purchase tracts of land in England, giving five acres or thereabouts to each settler, building cottages, providing seed and implements and supporting settlers until the land becomes productive. Each settler will repay the Army by a system of installments. The entire colonization scheme is to be under the direction of the Army, and in this way, Gen. Booth hopes to provide for those who, for various reasons, are unable to leave England under the emigration schemes of the Salvation Army. In a letter to King Edward the general says that the Army has agreed to repay the amount of Mr. Herring's gift in 25 annual installments to the King's hospital fund. WORK IN PHILIPPINES. Reports at Recent Conference at Manila Show Good Progress During Year. The reports presented at the recent session of the Phillipine mission conference show that during the year the membership has increased from 8,079 to 12,486, with possibly 10,000 more "adherents," who will soon be entering the door of church membership. There are 144 local preachers and exhorters, of whom 136 are Filipinos, four Americans and four Chinese. Dr. Homer C. Stuntz says that the present greatest needs of the Philippine islands are: (1) Twelve more American missionaries. (2) A Bible training school equipped to take care of 20 men at a time. (3) The completion of the Filipino First church, Manila. (4) The support of at least 12 Filipino evangelists, to open up new fields and help care for new converts. (5) Funds with which to put out millions of pages of literature which will be for healing of the sore hurt of this mislaught people. A. Police Official's View. HIGH CLASS AND The better class of druggists, everyone who devote their lives to the welfare of purest medicinal agents of known value scientific formula. Druggists of the best always under original or officinal name. They are the men to deal with when all standard remedies and correspond best of toilet articles and preparations. The earning of a fair living, with the conferred upon their patrons and assistance for long years of study and man. Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and are selling many millions of bottles and remedies, and they always take pleasure in name of the Company—California Fig. They know that in cases of colds and of weakness or torpidity of the liver are over-eating, that there is no other remedy Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to serve. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of immense demand for it, imitations have individual druggists to be found, here of the profession and whose greed gets to recommend and try to sell the imitation sometimes have the name—"Syrup or fictitious fig syrup company, printed the Company—California Fig Syrup Co. should be rejected because they are they find it necessary to resort to mischief on a customer a preparation under does not bear the full name of the Californian he is attempting to deceive and mislead establishment, whether it be large or small and deception in one case he will do to physicians' prescriptions; and should be Knowing that the great majority of doctors for our excellent remedy entirely through where, in original packages only, at the exist it is necessary to inform the public any imitation which may be sold to the California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on an article and to demand the return of your druggists who will sell you what you wish. HIGH CLASS DRUGGISTS AND - OTHERS. The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or official names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—"Syrup of Figs"—or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup," which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased everywhere, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices.

After they had finished this business, and threw a few stories at the ex-pastor, they were told to go home. It seems that these Mushrooms would like very much for the ex-pastor to get off the earth since his resignation was tendered. The policy advocated by them is that it is dangerous to call a man for pastor who devotes all of his time to the ministry, and that they have too much trouble in getting rid of him, and for the present dare not offer too much resistance to the ring. Rev. R. H. Cole filled the pulpit for eight years, and is again called on to fill it temporarily in the absence of a regular minister. The Mushrooms say they are too ignorant.

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 parlor 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 enjoyed by all. MR. WILLIAM DOVER. 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 taet 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. FOR SALE.
