Shocking and revolting were the scenes enacted at Springfield, Mo., where two innocent negroes and one whose guilt was not established, were taken from the jail and hanged and burned. The jailer's home was plundered, and the 18 remaining prisoners freed. To-day the entire world is aroused, and indignation is high, but it means little so far as the poor, defenseless negro is concerned. Soon the ardor of public sentiment will be cooled, and the magistrates of the law will cease to be so vigilant as they are at present, and humanity will place her stamp of approval upon the Springfield butchery. The flag, for whose preservation the negro has fought and died, will not protect him. The Springfield mob was the most brutal that has ever disgraced the United States. It seems as if there is a bad spirit in the Springfield community. Words are one thing, and actions another. Last Monday, another murder took place, for which the murderer received $1,000. All the evidence offered was his own testimony. He was quickly exonerated. The clubs of Springfield may protest, and say it was not the better class who precipitated the riot, but the fact remains that the deed was committed. Must the law be ignored by the rough element of a community, and then pleas made in their behalf to excuse it because of their ignorance? Prof. Fowler said, in 1836, that there was one black mark on the escutchone of the United States that would never be wiped off until some of the best blood was spilled. That mark was human slavery. However, wise heads will leave retribution to God. Who can say but that the San Francisco calamity, which occurred so closely following the lynching of the Springfield negroes, was not God's way of visiting retribution? How old it seems that when a mob formed in Shreveport, La., some time ago for the purpose of lynching a negro, but was frustrated by the governor, that a tornado swept a city in Louisiana a few days after and killed so many persons. AN EVENING OF PLEASURE. Last Wednesday the St. Elizabeth Branch, No. 275, gave an entertainment at the Douglass hall. The affair was grand and the young folks enjoyed themselves. Many of our best people attended. The officers and members vied with each other to make it a success. Will you please come up to our office, 2617 Lawton avenue.

At the regular yearly election of vestrymen at All Saints Episcopal church, Monday evening, the following were elected: Jas. W. Grant, John B. Vashon, Albert Burgess, Ambrose A. Clarke, Ben. F. Lewis, Walter C. Cannon, Edward S. Williams, George H. Porter, L. H. Green and Wm. H. Huffman. A parish re-union followed the election. Mr. Jas. W. Grant managed the literary and musical programme, which consisted of an address of welcome to those recently confirmed, by Mrs. S. P. Vashon, responded to by Mrs. Dr. S. P. Stafford, one of the confirmees; addresses by Madames Gibson and Cannon, Messrs. Burgess, Grant and Huffman. The programme was enterspersed with music by members of the choir. Refreshments were served by a committee of ladies, headed by Mrs. Celeste E. Brown. SUCCESS OF PROGRESSIVE LAUNDRY. It was a surprise to see the loyalty in which our people have shown their appreciation of the opening of the colored steam laundry. This new enterprise was opened to the public this week and received two wagon loads of laundry the day of the opening. They were quite fortunate in securing some of the most experienced operators in the city, especially so in securing the services of Mr. John Walker, whose 25 years of experience in the laundry business has not come to naught. We predict for Mason & Mason a world of success, and with such young men as Mr. J. Arthur Gibson and Albert C. Story, their success is assured. ANNUAL PRIZE PARTY. A regular feature of Orpheus academy is the annual prize party, which is given each year as a compliment of the manager to his patrons. The party will take place Friday evening, April 27, and, as usual, souvenirs of the occasion will be presented to all who are in attendance. In addition to this two magnificent grand prizes will be awarded, one to the lady with the most attractive costume, and the other to the lady wearing the prettiest shirt waist. No effort is being spared to make this occasion as enjoyable as its predecessors have been. SAM. THE TAILOR. Has begun the making of spring and summer suits.

The above club gave an entertainment, Easter Monday night. Everyone attended in full dress, and the evening was spent in a very pleasant way. The officers of the club deserve much credit for the manner in which the affair was conducted. The pleasing duty of presenting a crown to the best-dressed lady of the evening was bestowed on the Palladium man. He was almost at a loss as to a selection but the decision was finally made in favor of Mrs. Newell Moore. Among those present were: Miss Maggie Reed, of 1020 Pendleton avenue., who wore green silk. Misses Zetta and Lizzie Moore, of 613 South Ewing avnue, were in evening dress. Miss Adele Simons, of 4249 McPherson avenue, wore white silk. Mr. and Mrs. Gooch were in full dress. Miss Mamie Gray, of 2710 Washington avenue, was attractively gowned. Miss Mollie Kies, of 2322 Pine street, wore yellow silk with pearis. Miss Cathrine Mack, of 1020 North Pendleton, wore cream-colored silk. Miss Annie Jones, of 926 North Twenty-third street, wore black silk. Miss Bertha Williams, of 2609 North Leffingwell avenue, wore crepe de chee with diamonds. Mrs. H. Anderson, of 324 South Compton avenue, was a dream, but when our reporter beheld her lovely daughter, he could not help but exclaim, "What a lovely mortal!" Miss Annie Davis, of 317 South Twenty-second street, wore Alice blue. Miss Susan Bowen, 1408 Morgan street, wore green silk. Miss Sarah Walker, of 815 North Thirteenth street, wore brown silk.

Miss Mabel Kirtz, 1310 Linden, pongee blue silk with pearls. Messrs. John Estel and Dock Prince, of 4013 Fairfax, seemed to have things their way. They are the ladies' delight. Mrs. Francis Goodwin, of 3806 Morgan, was present. The reporter could hardly keep his eyes off of her. Mr. J. V. Williams seemed to catch the ladies' eye. We wondered whether he was ever married. If not, some lady is in danger. Misses Margaret Taylor, Nellie Osborne and Mrs. Francis Joiner were very attractive. Prof. Lucky was there, but we failed to see the renowned ladies' man, Mr. D. R. Russell. man, Mr. D. R. Russell. We presume he was with that dear beauty, you know. Prof. Johnson led the grand march, accompanied by Miss Anderson, of 234 South Compton. The grand march was followed by the presentation of the crown. This is one of the leading clubs of the city. AT REST. April 17, at 3 p. m., Miss Estella Edwards died at her parents' home, 3032 Lambdin avenue. She had been a patient sufferer for more than two years and would not take her bed until the doctor requested her to do so. She was a true Christian girl, a loving and kind daughter. Thus, in the prime of life God has taken her unto Himself. She leaves a father, mother, three sisters, one brother, sister-in-law and many friends to mourn her loss. She was aware of her near end and died in the full triumph of her belief that she was near her heavenly father. AN EVENING OF PLEASURE. The hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Floyd, at 2529 Belleglade avenue, was opened to a few friends last Monday evening—not for a wedding reception—but for a very worthy cause. The well-known host and hostess entertained the choir of Antioch Baptist church. A very pleasant evening was spent, as only could be expected at that home.

Dear Editor of Palladium: I took charge of the above-named church last Sunday. The spacious church, with a seating capacity of over 3,000, was well filled at 11 o'clock, and at night was crowded to overflowing on the first floor, also on the gallery that extends around the entire church. The church is preparing to give Mrs. M. H.

Weep not, kind grandmother, cry no more, auntie, dear; Why mourn? He is better off than you; And, as 'tis his gain, drop not another tear; And, though it be your loss, take heart anew; That when the summons comes to take you in death. May and myself a reception next week. Mrs. May, who was, until recently, Miss Mayme Morrell, was introduced, and shook hands with over 2,000 new friends. We are well pleased.

Whereas, It has pleased God in His wise providence to call from labor to reward our much beloved brother, Roy Smith; therefore be it Resolved, That officers and members of the B. Y. P. U., of whom he was a faithful member, and with so much zeal that we, his beloved friends, can say (with much regret) that we have lost a faithful and true member; be it Resolved, That we, the officers and members, at the solemn hour, should raise our voices as if with one tongue in extolling the merits of one whom we loved, one who consecrated his life to the cause of Christianity 'as a young man, one whose whole heart and mind was devoted to Christianity. Whereas, We believe from his daily walks, his upright Christian life and his Godly conversation, that our great loss is his eternal gain, and that he has simply fallen asleep in Jesus, that sleep from which none ever wake to weep, but find rest and peace in that celestial city, that haven of rest prepared for the people of God. Whereas, We believe from the strong ties of friendship manifested by the high regard and esteem in which he was held by all who knew him, both saints and sinners, that the community has lost a true friend and an upright citizen. Although, 'Twas a beautiful bud unfolding to view, Plucked so soon by grim death's icy hand: And eternity shall keep his course, You shall meet him again with eternal breath, With rejoicing of the heavenly host.

A con- nervative estimate places the lous of Life at 1,000, but this number may be increased; in fact, the present estimate is mere guess work.

Flames are sweeping the hill reat- ence districts.” ‘Thousands are without food. San Francisco, April 20.—San Fran- cisco is the city desolate. It seemed that the acme of its misery was reaehed at dusk, when flames burst from all sides of the beautiful Hotel Fairmont, the palace that above every other struc- ture was apparently most. strongly in- trenched against the attack of all-com- suming fire. And surrounding that lofty pinnacle of flame, as far as the eye could see to the south, to the east and out far to the west, lay in cruel fantas- tie heaps charred and smoking, all that remained of a prosperous city. The metropolis of the western slope was in ashes. Fleeing From the Fire. Thousands of people are fleeing upon thousands of people are fleeing from the fire. They are flocking to the ferries, to the parks, to the military seservation and to the suburbs, Resi- dents of the hillsides in the central por- tion of the city seemingly were safe from the roaring furnace that was con- suming the business section, They watched the towering mounds of flame and speculated as to the’ extent of the territory that was doomed. Suddenly there was whispered alarm up and down the long line of watchers, and they hurried away to drag clothing, cooking utensily and scant provisions through the streets. From Grant avenue the procession moved westward. Men and ‘women dragzed trunks, packed huge bundles of blankets, boxes of provisions, everything. Wagons could not be hired except by paying the most extortionate rates. ‘There Was No Panic.

They hear that the city is destroyed, in so far as business plants are concerned; they tell each other in tho most natural tone that their residences were de- stroyed by the flames, but there is no hysteria, no outcry, no criticism. Mayor Schmitz and corps have been forced from place to place by the on- rushing flames. Daybreak found them directing the municipal council, which isa committee of safety, from. the Fair mont hotel, the beautiful structure that stood om top of Knob Hill. But that caiight fire, and they retreated to the Cushing, at Larkin and Sutter streets, then to the north end police station, in Sacramenta street. Here the council, composed of the financial leaders of the city, met and decided to resort to the most heroic measures yet undertaken since the city has been im the path of devastation. Resort to Bombardment. This decision was to bombard the eg- tire section of the city lying along the east side of Van Ness avenue from Gol- den Gate avenue to Pacific avenue, 16 blocks in ali, containing the homes of many millionaires and spartment houses. The military was notified of this action, and barrels of gunpowder, the only remaining explosive in the city, were taken from the Presidio. Fort McDowell, Alcatraz and other nearby posts. Hundreds of police, regiments of soldiers and scores of volunteers were sent into the doomed district to warn the people to flee. These stoical- ly responded to the demand of the law, and went bravely on their way, trudg- ing painfully cver the pavements with the little they could get together. Every ayailable wagon was taken by the mili- tary to carry the powder. Gen. Fanston Co-Operating. Gen. Funston is co-operating with Mayor Schmitz, whose orders to all of- ficers are to kill without warning all malefactors. When men have been needed to carry out the plans of rescue they have been pressed into service. In only a few instances was it necessary to resort to the cocked revolver and drawn sword, after which there was no hesitancy. The Presidio reservation, the vast Richmond district of thousands of acres, Golden Gate park and the sur- rounding hills, resemble one vast picnic ground. Tents and improvised shelters have been erected everywhere, fire places built in the street, beds and mat- tresses thrown down all over the sec- tion. The people thus situated are philosophical. ‘One Of the Real Dangers. ‘There is only one danger, and that is that the food supply will run out, Every grocery remaining in San Fran- cisco has been taken by the authorities, and each family is being sold only one article at a time. In many places the police and military prohibit overcharg: ing. Gen. Funston announced that ra- tions would soon reach the city, and the people will be supplied from the Presidio. Bakeries have already been The day was bright and warm, the sun beating down on the tired workers and rescuers. There is scarcely any water to relieve the thirst of the suf- fering. The heat is threatening dan- ger, for the dead, in many instances, are lying in the streets and ruins. The authorities are doing all in their power to remove bodies in order that a pesti- lence may be prevented. It has been necessary repeatedly to move the in- jured from places where they had sought refuge, for the flre kept in- creasing with alarming rapidity. Wa- ter is the incessant cry of the firemen and the people—one wants it to fight, the others to drink—but there is only a scant drinking supply. No Diminution of the Fire. Oakland, Cal., April 20—At mid- night Thursday the fire in San Fran- cisco did not appear to have dim- inished. The entire sky was illumi- nated by the glare of the unchecked conflagration. There was no wind, and only the faintest suspicion of a breeze, but it was said that there was a stiff breeze blowing over San Fran. cisco. A gigantic column of smoke hangsover desolated San Francisco, the apex forming in fantastic shapes thousands of feet in the air and slow- ly drifting away to the northward. Although telegraphic communica- tion was established Thursday even- ing with the ferry building on the San Francisco side, only a very limited amount of matter could be handled. Telegraph companies would receive but a few hundred words of pressmat ter, giving the wires over to the press. ing’ commercial business.

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 Carolina, 12 each..... 24 Mississippi..... 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas..... 12 Missouri..... 9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each ..... Washington, D. C. ..... Virginia and Tennessee, 4 each ..... California, Ohio, New Jersey and Colorado, each 8.....12 Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Indian Territory have one each .....7 Territory have on each.....7 Published in the south.....101 Published in the west.....44 Published in the east.....26 Total .....171 And yet there are what are called political and pocket newspapers. We have about 20 of them that last sometimes a year. The whites are flooded down with them. Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side with weekly white papers of this country. Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispense news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and brilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW. The St. Louis Palladium has more subscribers than any other two Negro papers in the state of Missouri. We have more business men and women that advertise in The Palladium than any four Negro papers in the west.

Fruit growers from all parts of the state express the opinion that present indications point to the largest fruit yield in the history of Missouri. The best authorities differ widely as to the financial results following a full yield of fruit in this state. Some estimate the surplus product at $100,000,000. Few place it below this figure and a great many far in excess thereof. Fruit statistics are hard to procure, for a multiplicity of reasons. In the first place, there has been a full yield of fruit in Missouri for a great many years, and it would be largely a matter of guesswork to assume what a full yield would amount to, either in value or bulk. In round numbers, there are 20,000,000 bearing apple trees in Missouri. In this respect Missouri stands at the head of the list. New York comes next with 15,000,000 and Illinois is a strong third. Many of the Missouri fruit trees, however, are yet young, and will not reach their full bearing capacity for several years to come. In addition to apple trees, Missouri ranks away up in the list in peaches and all kinds of small fruits incident to this climate. The large orchards are practically all south of the Missouri river. There is one peach orchard in Howell county containing 18,000 trees. Still there are a few pretty large apple orchards north of the river, but peaches do not do so well north of the Missouri river as in the southern part of the state. Missouri's State Flower. Missouri's State Flower. Walter Williams writes in the Coflower? It has no state flag. Whether or not it has a state flower is a question which has been sprung for discussion by various women's clubs. If it has not a state flower, why not? If it has not now a state flower, what should be chosen. It has been left however, for the Maryville Tribune to make the most novel suggestion as to a state flower. The Tribune proposes the Missouri hen for the honor. "She pays off farm mortgages," declares the Tribune. "She buys food and drink and clothes for her owner. She sends the young men and the young women to school and keeps them there—longer, sometimes, it must be confessed, than is good for them. She blossoms early and late, in fair weather and in foul, and everywhere she is plucked with enthusiasm and with acclaim. Why, this great commonwealth of ours is one glorious bouquet of magnificent flowers—Cochins, Leghorns, Plymouth Rock, Black Spanish, and others as numerous as pinfeathers on a pullet. Of course, we've got a state flower. And there is scarcely a home in all Missouri which doesn't have them on the table at least every Sunday for dinner." Oil Hearing Again Postponed. The hearing of the Standard Oil company in St. Louis, has been continued to some future date to be announced later on account of the continued illness of the attorney general. The state is practically through taking testimony in the Standard case, excepting of some formal documents, but the attorneys for the oil companies desire to introduce a few additional witnesses, and the effort to get that testimony into the record renders it impossible to get the case docketed for hearing at the April term of the supreme court in bane. There will be ample time to get the case on the October docket of the court, so the hearing was postponed for the present. Fought With a Posse. Two men suspected of belonging to the gang of robbers which blew the St. Genevieve Lumber company's safe in St. Genevieve recently were captured near Byrnesville 12 miles south of Hillsboro, by a posse under Deputy Sheriff Harry Dahl after a pistol battle in which one of the alleged robbers was probably fatally wounded by two revolver shots. The other was clubbed almost unconscious when he resisted arrest. Another member of the band of suspects escaped by covering a farmer, in whose care he had been placed, with a revolver which the deputy sheriff failed to find in searching him. He is still at large. Kansas City Tax Valuation. A statement of the taxable valuation of Kansas City has been prepared by George Holmes, city assessor, as the result of the revision of the personal property assessments by the board of equalization. It shows the total real and personal property valuation to be $107,744,992, an increase of about $10,000,000 over last year. The board of equalization added $4,900,280 to the returns made on personal and merchants' tax assessments. Fuel Plenty at Richmond. The prospects of a coal mine in the Richmond district are rather remote. The operators in the organization express the opinion that the longer the strike i son the better it will be for the coal mining interests. There are three mines in operation now. No coal is being shipped out, however. They are working under the 1903 scale and running to capacity. The owners are said to have been formerly in the operators' association, but in order to keep the mines in operation ensured them to other parties. Walace Cooper to Hang. Wallace Cooper, the negro who shot and killed another negro, named James Taylor, was sentenced to be hanged by a jury in the criminal court at Kansas City. The killing occurred November 26 last. Cooper was drunk and became involved in a quarrel with the employes of a barn, including Taylor. He was whipped with a strap and left the barn, returning with a revolver, shooting Taylor and another employ. Cooper was out of the penitentiary only a short time before he committed the murder, having been sent up for robbery. Broke Jail with a Knife. Ralph Ornett, William Bussic and Fred Friend, who were arrested on state warrants charging grand larceny and who are believed to be members of an organized band of thieves, broke from the city jail at Joplin. They were being held in the temporary jail which had been hastily prepared as a holdover pending the erection of the new city jail, and made their escape by using a pocket knife with which they cut away part of the wooden bars forming the cage. Rise of the Automobile An index of the rise of the automobile and the resultant decline and fall of the bicycle is shown in the records of the city license commissioner at St. Louis. The automobile has been in common use in St. Louis practically only since the year 1900, and last year a total of 864 machines in actual use was reached. The estimate of the present is 1200. Meanwhile the licensed bicycle, of which there were 97,544 in 1897, number this year only 933. A Mail Hack Driver Drowned. "Sam" Thompson, driver of the mail hack on the West Plains and Gainesville stage line, was drowned at Hode Ferry. While fording North Fork his team became unmanageable in midstream. The only passenger in the hack, Miss Lena Gilliland, of Gainesville, was rescued. The swift water swept the horses from their feet and the stage with the driver went into the rapids. The driver jumped, but could not swim. The mall pouch was lost. Proposed Mormon Sanitarium. President Joseph Smith, of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, delivered a revelation to the conference at Independence, declaring that in an hour of spiritual exaltation it had been presented to him that a hospital or sanitarium should be established at Independence by the church, where the sick may be treated by the laying on of hands, nursing and medical treatment, according to the law of the church. Maximum Rate Law Fight. It has been announced that the hearing of evidence in the injunction suit of the 18 proprietary railroads operating in Missouri against the board of railroad and warehouse commissioners and Attorney General Hadley to restrain the enforcement of the maximum freight rate law will be commenced in St. Louis June 11 before special Master in Chancery F. L. Schoffield. St. Charles Lighting Plant Closed. The city electric light power house boilers and other machinery at the power plant collapsed at St. Charles, and the city is in darkness. City Electrician Pierson states that it will be impossible to repair the old machinery further, and that new machinery must be purchased which will cost at least $15,000. Asylum for Crazy Convicts. Five convicts \*are recently transferred from the penitentiary to the insane asylum at Fulton, having been found to be of unsound mind. If they are restored to reason, they must go back to the penitentiary to serve the remainder of their sentences. Shelby County Druggists Organize Shelby County Druggists Organize. The Shelby county organization of the National association of retail druggists was formed in Shelbina The following officers were elected: President, J. M. McCully of Clarence; vice president, J. W. Penn of Shelbyville. Fulled Trigger with His Toe. Herman Sell, aged 31, of Hermann, after shooting his wife, aged 38, with a shotgun, deliberately sat down in a chair, pulled off one shoe and stocking and pulling the trigger with his toe, sent a load of buckshot into his head, dying instantly. Ankle Shattered by Shot. Roy Hisey, a young man residing east of Mexico, was shot by the accidental discharge of a shotgun in the hands of a friend. The charge struck the Hisey boy in the right ankle and shattered it badly. New Springfield Telephone Plant. The Springfield Home Telephone company has asked the city council for a franchise.

Nothing, only the lynching and burning of three heiless negroes. Then, what's the matter with San Francisco? Only the hand of God as an evidence of His justice.

All are invited to come out and hear this man of God. A MISSIONARY BALLY There will be a missionary sermon and rally Sunday, the 29th, at 3 p. m., at Antioch church, under the auspices of Antioch Mission Circle. The sermon will be preached by Rev.

LOUIS PALLADIUM 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. 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. 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.

The Masonic ball was a success, financially, and so far as pleasure was concerned. A couple of so-called church members apparently enjoyed themselves to their hearts' content. Mr. G. L. G., of L. G. T., an usher at Central Baptist; also A. L. L., a member of Union Memorial, seemed to see no reason why Christians should not indulge in dancing. The last-named gentleman always takes advantage of the absence of his wife and daughter to perform these tricks. We are not quite sure whether he acts so in the interests of business or whether he is looking for trouble. The widow, Mrs. Trice, was also there, as were numbers of others. INFORMATION WANTED. INFORMATION WANTED CONCERNING MARY AND ELIZA BAILEY. The name Bailey was that of their master, who lived in Saline county, Mo., in 1860 or 1861. The father's name was Nathan Howard Bailey, the mother's name, Americus Bailey. These children were sold south during the year in which there was so much talk of the emancipation of the slaves. They were sold in what was termed "Down the river." Any information will be thankfully received at the Union Memorial church, or at the Palladium office, 2617 Lawton avenue. Other Negro papers will please copy. 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 tact and great ability have enabled him to increase his business from $80 to $1,000 worth of stock. There are only two or three Colored men in the saloon business who carry as large a stock as Mr. Dover. He has every kind of drink, from the mildest to the sparkling champagne. Mr. Dover conducts a quiet and peaceful buffet. In a few more years he will be another G. W. Holt, George S. Williams or W. T. Curtis. If you want to be convinced, go and see.

"SAM" The Tailor. We beheld that famous and needed friend, "Sam the Tailor." He was making others happy. Mr. Sam Wiseman, better known as "Sam the Tailor," of 204 North Fourteenth street, is indeed one of God's noblemen. Wherever you see him he is trying to make someone else happy. At his store many a poor, ill-clothed man has been caused to add days to his life by getting "Sam the Tailor" to make a house for his body that the cold, chilly winds of January, February and March may not cause him to leave this world. He has a very fine horse and wagon to deliver his goods, and in seeing that wagon you say: There is my friend's wagon—"Sam the Tailor." Will you have him to dress you up anew? If so, come with me, or go and be renewed by getting your Easter suit from him at 204 North Fourteenth street. WHAT INDIAN HERBS WILL DO. G. W. Smith's Office, 2710 N. Bway.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. There were quite a number at the First Baptist church last Sunday morning. Mr. Samuel Rogers sank a beautiful baritone solo on Easter morning. Subject; "The Beautiful Valley of Bethlehem." Miss Mary Fitchure sang a beautiful soprano solo at night, butt Mrs. H. A. Gordan is much better at this writing. A recognition council was called last Monday evening at Mt. Zion Baptist church, 2624 Papin street, to consider the propriety of fellowshiping the Thessalonian Baptist church, but we are informed that some person from First Baptist church went to Mt. Zion church last Sunday evening and told the pastor and officers that the Thessalonian church was a disorderly organization, and upon that statement the Mt. Zion church refused the council the use of their church, after which the Y. M. C. A. was secured, and the council proceeded with their business. It is known to the Baptists of St. Louis that the Thessalonian Baptist church is not disorderly, for the reason that the members comprising this church asked for letters of dismission Dr. W.D.Deshay's Hair Feeder The World's Greatest Reliably. It feeds the hair, and gives every strand of hair life; also a positive Dandruff Cure, as well as a most excellent hair dressing preparation.

VAU from First Baptist church, and they were unanimously granted, and these same parties who misrepresented the Thessalonian church were present when said letters were granted, and they also know that their statement is false and misleading. It is generally known that the evening when the letters were granted that these people were driven out of doors in the midst of jeers and insults, even before their letters were given to them; mothers were not allowed to ask for letters for their children, nor to wait on the inside for them. Some of these people who were treated in this way had worked hard for the old mother church for 40 years; there was nothing against them, nor had they been unfaithful in the discharge of their duties to the church. The motion to postpone the recognition council for two weeks, in order to give First Baptist church time to reconsider her action in granting these letters, converted the recognition council into an advisory council; also the admission of the minutes of First Baptist church in the recognition council were wrong. Said minutes could only have been permitted in an advisory council or a mutual council. A recognition council should be governed only by the face of the letters from the church.

When the blood is impoverished the nerves starve and neuralgia or something more serious swiftly follows. Nervous people are generally pale people. By supplying through the blood those vital elements that the nerves need, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have performed those remarkable cures that make it impossible for any nervous sufferer to neglect them. A recent case is that of Mrs. Peter Morrisette, of No. 315 Eleventh street, Alpena, Mich., who writes as follows: "My trouble started with childbirth. After one of my children was born I had a kind of paralysis. I was very weak and my mouth was a little crooked. I was always tired and was so nervous that I could not bear to hear a dog bark or a ball ring—even the little bird in its cage would annoy me. My heart futtered a great deal and I had dizzy spells. I was not able to be left alone. "My doctor gave me different kinds of medicine, changing it several times. When it was evident that he could not help me he said he did not understand my case. This was three years ago and I was very much discouraged, when my brother, who had taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, recommended them to me. I tried them and noticed a change for the better when I was taking the second box. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured me and I have been well ever since. I now do all my own housework, sewing and washing for seven of us." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have also cured diseases caused by impure or impoverished blood such as rheumatism, anemia and after-effects of the grip. All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills or the remedy will be mailed, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectad, N. Y. IN CONSULAR FIELDS. Consul Smith, of Moscow, writes that the imports of agricultural machinery and implements into Russia continue large, amounting in 1905 to over 20,000 tons. The chief ports of entry for this line are Novorossisk and Alexandrowo. The formation of the International Coal Mining company is reported by Consul-General Guenther, of Frankfort. The capitalization is $3,808,000, the stock being taken by a group of German and French banks. They will exploit the coal deposits in the grand duchy of Luxemburg. Consul Brittain, of Kehl, explains the new method of keeping clean the congested streets of the larger German cities. Metal tanks are inserted at intervals to the level of the street and covered with iron lids. Into these the offal is easily swept. In the night the tanks are hauled to the dumping grounds. Consul Culver, at London, Canada, reports the invention of a ball-bearing adjustable axle nut by R. C. Williams of that city, which will prevent vehicle wheels from "backing off." The Adjustable Axle Nut company, of London, Canada, has been formed to manufacture these nuts, and will probably need a machine shop equipment. AMONG ARTISTS. Ten eminent Japanese artists were busy for months devising a seal for the young crown prince of their country. This is now put on everything he wears or uses. A recent exposition in Amsterdam of 20 new paintings by Josef Israels bore witness to the fact that this eminent Jewish artist, at the age of 80, preserves the best traits of his manhood powers. Heinrich Vogel, a well-known German portrait painter, who, however, has not done any work for three decades, has left his whole property, valued at $250,000, for the founding of a charitable institution for artists. Japanese postage stamps are rated as the most artistic in the world; there is a great demand for them in London at present. The first stamps were issued in 1871. There are few rare ones, the highest price ever known to have been paid for one being $50. A WOMAN DOCTOR Was Quick to See That Coffee Poison Was Doing the Mischief. A lady tells of a bad case of coffee poisoning and tells it in a way so simple and straightforward that literary skill could not improve it. "I had neuralgic headaches for 12 years," she says, "and have suffered untold agony. When I first began to have them I weighed 140 pounds, but they brought me down to 110. I went to many doctors and they gave me only temporary relief. So I suffered on, till one day in 1904, a woman doctor told me to drink Postum Food Coffee. She said I looked like I was coffee poisoned. "So I began to drink Postum and I gained 15 pounds in the first few weeks and am still gaining, but not so fast as at first. My headache began to leave me after I had used Postum about two weeks—long enough I expect to get the coffee poison out of my system. "Now that a few months have passed since I began to use Postum Food Coffee, I can gladly say that I never know what a neuralgic headache is like any more, and it was nothing but Postum that cured me. Before I used Postum I never went out alone; I would get bewildered and would not know which way to turn. Now I go alone and my head is as clear as a bell. By brain and nerves are stronger than they have been for years." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in oks. ECHOES FROM RELIGIOUS FIELDS CONVERSIONS IN CHINA. Evidence That the Efforts of Mission- aries of Inland Mission Are Be- ing Well Repaid. Mr. Clinton, of the China Inland Mission at Changzite, Hunan Province, China, writes of many encouraging conversions. One is a farmer, 51 years of age, who walks two miles to church every Sunday, rain or shine. Apother is a soldier, 46 years of age, who announced in soldier fashion: "My decision is: I will follow Jesus." One, a landowner, 44 years of age, came to himself and to God after recovery from what was believed to be his death bed. His family have followed him into the church. Li U-Chang, an ornament maker, 42 years of age, and Fu Hong-Plug, a brick layer, 40 years of age, are two other recent converts. Many more Mr. Clinton mentions by name, some won in the preaching services, some in the hospital, others by personal visitation. Another incident giving great encouragement has been the gift of the governor of Hunan of 2,000 taels (about $1,300), towards the China Inland Mission hospital in Changsha. The change of attitude toward the foreigner, that such a gift signifies, is almost incredible. Thirty years ago the C. I. M. first attempted to work this province, and 15 years ago one of its missionaries first entered the city of Changsha, but he was soon escorted out again by the officials. So strenuously have the officials and literati opposed the incoming foreigner that it was not until 1901 that Dr. Keller and the evangelist Li succeeded in renting the first mission premises in that city. To those who remember the repeated and frequently unsuccessful attempts which have been made to gain entrance into this province, says the Record of Christian Work, this news of the governor's gift will call forth praise to God for the favor and consequently enlarged opportunity for useful service that this gift indicates. STATISTICS FROM ENGLAND How Churches and Sunday Schools of the United Kingdom Grew During Last Year. The statistics of the Baptist and Congregational bodies of England for 1905 indicate considerable progress in both of them during the year. Taking the Congregational first, the number of churches has increased in the United Kingdom by 14, the total now standing at 4,905. The increase in sittings is over 200,000, in church members over 16,500, in Sunday school scholars nearly 14,000, and in teachers more than 500. As to the Baptists, they have eight more chapels than they had in the previous year, 1,164 more sittings, 31,752 more members 873 more teachers and 11,712 more scholars. In both denominations, the gratifying increase in church membership comes chiefly from Wales. The Sunday schools of the United Kingdom at the end of 1905 reached the splendid total of 7,364,304, and teachers numbered 679,316. This is an increase on the previous year of 64,664 scholars and 5,198 teachers. The distribution of these large numbers of teachers and scholars over the various churches is interesting. The Evangelical Free churches lead the way with 410,543 teachers, and 3,569,149 scholars. Next come the Established churches with 208,948 teachers, the scholars numbering 3,056,798. In the Scottish and Irish Episcopalian churches, there are 553,300 teachers and 744,413 scholars; while there are unclassified 4,485 teachers and 43,944 scholars. Here also is seen the welcome fruitage of the Welsh revival; for the increase in the twelfemonth of Sunday scholars in the principality, is no less than over 22,000. Mohammedan Convert in Algeria. A missionary, Miss Cox, of the North African mission, writes that five young men recently came in to say that they had determined to follow Christ. They belong to those who are often said to be unconvertible—Moslems. They had been impressed first in the mission school, but had left and subsequently sank deep into sin. Now they have returned after many days, ready to confess Christ, and did so publicly amid the taunts of their fellows. The spirit of inquiry is spreading, but the opposition is fierce. One night the path to the mission house was strewn with thorns, and, as many of the inquirers go barefoot, the result was a number of wounded feet. Twenty-Five Years of Growth The Christian Endeavor society of the world has just celebrated the twenti- ty-fifth anniversary of its organization, at Portland, Me., February 2, 1881.

Senator Hemenway tells of an incident that occurred during a political campaign in Iowa. In one of the towns it had been arranged that, when the big orators of the day had had their say with reference to politics, there were to be a number of hide-a-show variety to be held on the common. A pompous politician, who had served a term in the state legislature, and was by reason of that fact on extremely good terms with himself, while endeavoring with a number of ladies to make his way through a dense crowd that surrounded the town and so found himself unable to proceed further because of the busy, individual whom he could not thrust aside. Drawing himself up to his full height the politician tapped the offending one on the shoulder, saying as he did so: "Here! Make way there!"

A writer tells this story of old-time Indianapolis: "The people living near a veteran pork packer's establishment stood the smells a long time, but at kt entered a complaint. The case was brought up in a squire's court, and the defendant, after listening to the charges attentively, remarked in an injured tone: "Well, it seems to me that any man who doesn't like the smell of a hog is just a leetle too good for Indianapolis." He went into a drug store and bought a bottle of some patent stuff, which was advertised thus: "No More Coughs. No More Colds. 25 Cents a Bottle." Three days later he went to the druggist complaining that his throat was stopped up, and that he could scarcely breathe. "I've drunk all that patent cough mixture," he said. "Drunk it!' yelled the man; why, that's an India rubber solution to put on the soles of your boots!" "Who ever saw a perfect man?" asked the revivalist. "There is no such thing. Every man has his faults, plenty of them." The revivalist continued: "Who ever saw a perfect woman?" At this juncture a tall, thin woman arose. "Do you mean to say, madam," the evangelist asked, "that you have seen a perfect woman?" "Well, I can't just say that I have her," the evangelist replied, "but I have heard a powerful lot about her; she was my husband's first wife." ABOUT ANIMALS. A coarse, rough-haired animal is generally coarse-grained, sluggish and inactive and many times is also sluggish and ill-natured. A kind disposition is a very important quality in a horse, and should be looked after very carefully in selecting one for practical use. Charcoal given to animals, especially poultry and swine, acts upon the blood as a purifier, often being found of benefit when there is no definite disease. All the food required to sustain life is just so much wasted if no more is given. If the young, growing animal is thus fed barely a sufficiency to sustain life, there is even greater loss, for the animal is stunted and can never, even by extra feeding, regain the ground lost. A poor appetite in any farm animal is against its doing its best, no matter whether in the dairy or before the plow. One advantage in feeding a variety is that it aids materially in maintaining a good appetite, as animals naturally tire of one ration when given alone for any considerable length of time. FIRST.—That almost every operation in our hospitals performed upon women becomes necessary through neglect of such symptoms as backache, irregular and painful periods, displacements of the female organs, pain in the side, burning sensation in the stomach, bearing-down pains, nervousness, dizziness and sleeplessness. SECOND.—The medicine that holds the record for the largest number of absolute cures of female illis is Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It regulates, strengthens and cures diseases of the female organism as nothing else can. For thirty years it has been helping women to be strong, curing backache, nervousness, kidney troubles, inflammation of the female organs, weakness and displacements, regulating the periods perfectly and overcoming their pains. It has also proved itself invaluable in preparing women for childbirth and the change of life. THIRD.—The great volume of unsolicited and grateful testimonials on file at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., many of which are from time to time published by permission, give absolute evidence of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice. Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation to Women.—Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. From symptoms given, your trouble may be located and the quickest and surest way of recovery advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years under her-direction and since her decease she has been advising sick women free of charge. Out of the vast volume of experience in treating female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably has the very knowledge that will help your case. Surely, any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

All Cities, Commercial Bodies, Re-Hef Committees and Individuals Urged to Send Aid. Washington — Thursday, President Roosevelt, after a conference with Miss Mabel Boardman, of the American National Red Cross, issued in the form of a proclamation an appeal to the American people for aid for the people of San Francisco. He asked that all contributions be made through the officials of the American National Red Cross, who have effected systematic arrangements for the distribution of the needed assistance. The full text of the president's proclamation follows: "In the face of so terrible and appalling a national calamity as that which has befallen San Francisco, the outpouring of the nation's aid should, as far as possible, be intrusted to the American Red Cross, the national organization best fitted to undertake such relief work. A specially appointed Red Cross agent, Dr. Edward Divine, starts to-day from New York for California to co-operate there with the Red Cross branch in the work of relief. In order that this work may be well systematized, and in order that the contributions which I am sure will flow in with lavish generosity, may be wisely administered, I appeal to the people of the United States, to all cities, chambers of commerce, boards of trade, relief committees and individuals to express their sympathy and render their aid by contributions to the American National Red Cross. They can be sent to Hon. Charles Hallam Keep, Red Cross treasurer, Washington, D. C.; Mr Jacob H. Schiff, New York; Red Cross treasurer, or other local Red Cross treasurers, to be forwarded by telegraph from Washington to the Red Cross agents and officers in California." "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." TROOPS AND MINERS CLASH French Gendarmes Wound Many Strikers In Riot-Revolutionary Songs. Lens, France.—A fierce conflict between troops and strikers occurred here. The latter, marching from Lievin, sacked the residence of a mine official, and tearing down the shutters, used them as shields against the weapons of the soldiers, a number of whom were injured by missiles. The troops were compelled to call for re-enforcements, and cavalry charges followed. The strikers sought refuge behind the railroad embankment and erected a barricade, from which position they were dislodged by gendarmes. A number of miners were wounded. After this collision the crowds marched through the town, singing revolutionary songs. The market at Lievin was partly pillaged and the dealers fled. EARTHQUAKE IN MICHIGAN One Man Killed and Four Injured in the Quincy Mine, a Mile Underground. Calumet, Mich.—A sharp earthquake shock, which was felt distinctly throughout Hancock and was most pronounced in the Quincy mine, killed one man and injured four others while working one mile below the earth's surface in that property Thursday. In numerous instances buildings rocked, chimneys fell and dishes rattled, terrifying the citizens and causing scores of men, women and children to rush from their homes. Many miners on the day shift refused to go below again. THIRTY MEN INJURED Were Precipitated Forty Feet To the Ground By the Giving Way of a Trestle. Duluth, Minn.—Upwards of 30 laborers were injured, several seriously, Thursday evening, by the giving away of a trestle that connects ore docks No. 1 and No. 2 of the Duluth, Mesaba & Northern railway. The accident happened when about 100 men, applicants for positions on the docks, were crowding to get to the foreman, who was doing the hiring. In the crush, a portion of the rail on the trestle gave way, 30 of the men being precipitated to the ground, a distance of about 40 feet. The Insurance Situation. New York.—Millions indemnity for fire, but not a cent for earthquake. This is the insurance situation in San Francisco. The owners of property destroyed by the earthquake can not collect a dollar under their fire insurance policies, even though the buildings that fell were later swept by flames. As Henry W. Eaton, manager of the Liverpool, London and Globe, explained it, the insured can only collect on a building fired while standing. Once a structure is shaken by earthquake, the writers of insurance are not liable. Negro Cuts Father's Throat. St. Charles, Mo.—Thursday, Douglas Herald, colored, cut his father's throat and stabbed him in the left breast in defense of the young man's wife, whom the elder Herald had attacked with a pocket-knife. It is thought the injured man will die. Young Herald was placed in jail. Death Under the Wheels.

As readily the large debt as the small; thus the ocean, of God's love covers a mountain as easily as a molehill. "Which of them will love Him most?" Not of necessity, but probably. V. 43. "I suppose:" "The air of language indifference with which Simon gave his judgment, as if the case supposed were too insignificant to awaken any interest in his mind, shows that he had no thought of its having a reference to himself." V. 47. "Wherefore:" Because her actions prove her true repentance. "Her sins, which are many, are forgiven:" as you may see from the evident fact that "she loved much:" and has been proving this love by the deeds you have witnessed; while you, Simon, "to whom little is forgiven" (in your own self-satisfied thought), show this by loving and honoring Me little. This passage does not teach that love is the grounds of forgiveness, but its result. V. 48. "Thy sins are forgiven:" Christ has been talking with Simon, and in large, philosophic terms which the woman might not understand. He would send her away with the comfort of this plain, direct assurance. V. 49. "Who is this that (even) forgiveth sins?" Notice that Christ, so quick to answer Simon's evil thought of the woman, pays no attention to this evil thought of Himself, as if He were a blasphemer. V. 50. "Thy fath hath saved thee:" This saying is an indirect answer to the cavil of v. 49: "No word of mine, but thy faith, hath saved the." The Heart of the Lesson. The condemnation of sinners carries with it the condemnation of ourselves. Christ has forgiveness ready for all kinds of sinners. He was as willing to forgive the Pharisee his pride as the woman her impurity. A little child asked his mother if he could say what he liked to God. "Yes," said she. Then he prayed: "Dear God, love me when I'm naughty." Christ wants us to show our love to Him. There is no better way of showing it than to tell others about Christ and His love for them And Salute Your Queen Ho, All Ye Faithful Followers of Ananias A Young Girl said to a Cooking School Teacher in New York: "If You make One Statement as False as That, All You have said about Foods is Absolutely Unreliable." EDUCATIONAL NOTES. Mrs. A. A. Anderson, of New York, has given $100,000 Columbia university to start a suitable endowment to establish a pure science course, leading to the degree of bachelor of science in Barnard college. Chinese students in Japan cost from $90 to $200 a year each for maintenance, against $600 to $2,000 anywhere in Europe. Tokio is a natural educative center for China, by reason of geographical proximity, language facility and economy. Rise Liars And Ho, All Ye F A Young Girl said to a C One Statement as This burst of true American girl indignation was caused by the teacher saying that Grape-Nuts, the popular pre-digested food, was made of stale bread shipped in and sweetened. The teacher colored up and changed the subject. There is quite an assortment of traveling and stay-at-home members of the tribe of Ananias who tell their falsehoods for a variety of reasons. In the spring it is the custom on a cattle ranch to have a "round up," and brand the cattle, so we are going to have a "round up," and brand these cattle and place them in their proper pastures. FIRST PASTURE. Cooking school teachers—this includes "teachers" who have applied to us for a weekly pay if they would say "something nice" about Grape-Nuts and Postum, and when we have declined to hire them to do this they get waspy and show their true colors. This also includes "demonstrators" and "lecturers" sent out by a certain Sanitarium to sell foods made there, and these people instructed by the small-be-whiskered doctor—the head of the institution—to tell these prevarications (you can speak the stronger word if you like). This same little doctor conducts a small magazine in which there is a department of "answers to correspondents," many of the questions as well as the answers being written by the aforesaid doctor. In this column some time ago appeared the statement: "No, we cannot recommend the use of Grape-Nuts for it is nothing but bread with glucose poured over it." Right then he showed his badge as a member of the tribe of Ananias. He may have been a member for some time before, and so he has caused these "lecturers" to descend into the ways of the tribe wherever they go. When the young lady in New York put the "iron on" to this "teacher" and branded her right we sent $10.00 to the girl for her pluck and bravery. SECOND PASTURE. Editors of "Trade" papers known as grocers' papers. Remember, we don't put the brand on all, by any means. Only those that require it. These members of the tribe have demanded that we carry advertising in their papers and when we do not consider it advisable they institute a campaign of vituperation and slander, printing from time to time manufactured slurs on Postum or Grape-Nuts. When they go far enough we set our legal force at work and hate them to the judge to answer. If the pace has been hot enough to throw some of these "cattle" over on their backs, feet tied and "belowing," do you think we should be blamed? They gambol around with tails held high and jump stiff legged with a very "cocky" air while they have full range, but when the rope is thrown over them "it's different." Should we untie them because they bleat soft and low? Or should we put the iron on, so that people will know the brand? Let's keep them in this pasture, anyhow. Upon the nomination of the Prussian ministry of education the trustees of Columbia university have appolated Dr. Hermann Schumacher, professor of political economy in the University of Benn, to be honorary professor in Columbia university for the year 1906-7. Rev. Dr. William Dawe has completed his work with Albion college, where he has been during the last six years and three months, having, in cooperation with President Samuel Dickle, successfully raised the debt of $100,000, and some $75,000 toward the endowment. Salute Y Faithful Follower looking School Teacher in N False as That, All You have is Absolutely Unreliable." THIRD PASTURE. Now we come to a frisky lot, the "Labor Union" editors. You know down in Texas a weed called "Loco" is sometimes eaten by a steer and produces a derangement of the brain that makes the steer "batty" or crazy. Many of these editors are "Locoed" from hate of anyone who will not instantly obey the "demands" of a labor union, and it is the universal habit of such writers to go straight into a system of personal vilification, manufacturing any sort of falsehood through which to vent their spleen. We assert that the common citizen has a right to live and breathe air without asking permission of the labor trust and this has brought down on us the hate of these editors. When they go far enough with their libels, is it harsh for us to get judgment against them and have our lawyers watch for a chance to attach money due them from others? (For they are usually irresponsible.) Keep your eye out for the "Lo-coed" editor. Now let all these choice specimens take notice: We will deposit one thousand or fifty thousand dollars to be covered by a like amount from them, or any one of them, and if there was ever one ounce of old bread or any other ingredient different than our selected wheat and barley with a little salt and yeast used in the making of Grape-Nuts, we will lose the money. Our pure food factories are open at all times to visitors, and thousands pass through each month, inspecting every department and every process. Our factories are so clean that one could, with good relish, eat a meal from the floors. The work people, both men and women, are of the highest grade in the state of Michigan, and according to the state labor reports, are the highest paid in the state for similar work. Let us tell you exactly what you will see when you inspect the manufacture of Grape-Nuts. You will find tremendous elevators containing the choicest wheat and barley possible to buy. These grains are carried through long conveyors to grinding mills, and there converted into flour. Then the machines make selection of the proper quantities of this flour in the proper proportion and these parts are blended into a general flour which passes over to the big dough mixing machines, there water, salt and a little yeast are added and the dough kneaded the proper length of time. Remember that previous to the barley having been ground it was passed through about one hundred hours of soaking in water, then placed on warm floors and slightly sprouted, developing the diastase in the barley, which changes the starch in the grain into a form of sugar. Now after we have passed it into dough and it has been kneaded long enough, it is moulded by machinery into loaves about 18 inches long and 5 or 6 inches in diameter. It is put into this shape for convenience in second cooking. These great loaves are sliced by machinery and the slices placed on wire trays, these trays, in turn, placed on great steel trucks, and rolled into the secondary ovens, each perhaps 75 or 80 feet long. There the food is subjected to a long low heat and the starch which has not been heretofore transformed is turned into a form of sugar generally known as Post Sugar. It can be seen glistening on the granules of Grape-Nuts if held toward the light, and this sugar is not poured over or put on the food as these previcators ignorantly assert. On the contrary the sugar exudes from the interior of each little granule during the process of manufacture, and reminds one of the little white pardicles of sugar that come out on the end of a hickory log after it has been sawed off and allowed to stand for a length of time. This Post Sugar is the most digestible food known for human use. It is so perfect in its adaptability that mothers with very young infants will pour a little warm milk over two or three spoonfruits of Grape-Nuts, thus washing the sugar off from the granules and carrying it with There's a Reason" Nuts and A girls' school at Singora, Slames Malaya, was opened November 9 with 47 pupils, a number which has since increased to 63. Apart from the missionary school this is the first school for girls to be started in Slam outside Bangkok. There is no prejudice in Slam against education and there is plenty of evidence that all over the country officials and others in good positions would welcome any provision of education for their daughters. The great difficulty, of course, as also in the case of boys, is the want of trained teachers.—Bangkok Times. our Queen ers of Ananias GIVE EAR! New York: "If You make we said about Foods the milk to the bottom of the dish. Then this milk charged with Post Sugar is fed to the infants producing the most satisfactory results, for the baby has food that it can digest quickly and will go off to sleep well fed and contented. When baby gets two or three months old it is the custom of some mothers to allow the Grape-Nuts to soak in the milk a little longer and become mushy, whereupon a little of the food can be fed in addition to the milk containing the washed off sugar. It is by no means manufactured for a baby food, but these facts are stated as an illustration of a perfectly digestible food. It furnishes the energy and strength for the great athletes. It is in common use by physicians in their own families and among their patients, and can be seen on the table of every first-class college in the land. We quote from the London Lancet analysis as follows: "The basis of nomenclature of this preparation is evidently an American pleasant, since 'Grape-Nuts' is derived solely from cereals. The preparatory process undoubtedly converts the food constituents into a much more digestible condition than in the raw cereal. This is evident from the remarkable solubility of the preparation, no less than one-half of it being soluble in cold water. The soluble part contains chiefly dextrin and no starch. In appearance 'Grape-Nuts' resembles fried bread-crumbs. The grains are brown and crisp, with a pleasant taste not unlike slightly burnt malt. According to our analysis the following is the composition of 'Grape-Nuts': Moisture, 6.02 per cent; mineral matter, 2.01 per cent; fat, 1.60 per cent; proteins, 15.00 per cent; soluble carbohydrates, etc., 49.40 per cent; and unaltered carbohydrates (insoluble), 25.97 per cent. The features worthy of note in this analysis are the excellent proportion of proteid, mineral matters, and soluble carbohydrates per cent. The mineral matter was rich in phosphoric acid. 'Grape-Nuts' is described as a brain and nerve food, whatever that may be. Our analysis, at any rate, shows that it is a nutritive of a high order, since it contains the constituents of a complete food in very satisfactory and rich proportion and in an easily assimilable state." An analysis made by the Canadian Government some time ago shows that Grape-Nuts contains nearly ten times the digestible elements contained in ordinary cereals, and foods, and nearly twice the amount contained in any other food analyzed. The analysis is familiar to practically every successful physician in America and London. We print this statement in order that the public may know the exact facts upon which we stake our honor and will back it with any amount of money that any person or corporation will put up. We propose to follow some of these choice specimens of the tribe of Ananias. When you hear a cooking school teacher or any other person assert that either Postum or Grape-Nuts are made of any other ingredients than those printed on the packages and as we say they are made, send us the name and address, also name of two or three witnesses, and if the evidence is clear enough to get a judgment we will right that wrong quickly. Our business has always been conducted on as high a grade of human intelligence as we are capable of, and we propose to clear the deck of these prevailors and liars whenever and wherever they can be found. Attention is again called to the general and broad invitation to visitors to go through our works, where they will be shown the most minute process and device in order that they may understand how pure and clean and wholesome Grane-Nuts and Postum are. There is an old saying among businessmen that there is some chance to train a fool, but there is no room for a liar, for you never can tell where you are, and we hereby serve notice on all the members of this ancient tribe of Ananias that they may follow their calling in other lines, but when they put forth their lies about Grape-Nuts and Postum, we propose to give them an opportunity to answer to the prope-authorl.les. The New York girl wisely said that if a person would lie about one item, it brands the whole discourse as absolutely unreliable. Keep your iron ready and brand these "mavericks" whenever you find them running loose.

JOSEPHINE JONES, M. E. Q. WM, TAYLOR, Secretary, “SANCTIFICATION.” Paper Read by Rev. B. Steward at Meeting of Methodist Al- liance Last Monday. Se Frenne en Sane ean A Sanctification, in the general accept- ance of the term, implies the making, vetting apart or separating an object, person or thing {o 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 Gelivering 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 sentioned as examples of those dedi- cated 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 ard humility toward God ard 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 candle- sticks, 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; sec- ‘ond, to make pure or holy. In Serip- ture terms we have many refe.ences to the work of sanctification. Leviticus 11:14, God instructed Moses to sanctify the people, restricting the eating of un- clean beasts, creeping things, ete. The people were to sanctify themselves for the eating of flesh furnished by God's special providence. In Joshua, 3:5-713 and I. Samuel, 16:5, in which cases the people, the whole congregation were to be sanctified—tsaiah 5:16. God shall be sanctified in righteousness (13:3). I have commanded my sanctified ones (66:17). Sanctify themselves in gardens (Jere- miah 1:5). I sanctified and ordained thee a prophet (Hzk. 20:40; 26:23). 1 will be sanctified in you (Joel 1:14; 2:15). “Sanctify ye a fast. In the New esarient (s0pn 10:28), Bay ge ot i whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world thou has blas- pheme 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 sal- vation (Acts 20:32; 26:18). In this place Paul commends the elders of the Ephessians 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 blame- less 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 sancti- fed 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 pire heart. Hebrews, 10:14—Per- fected forever are them that are sancti- fied. Hebrews 13:12—Wherefore Jesus also that He might sanctify the peo- ple with His own blocd suffered with- out the veil. i. Peter, 3:15—Sanctify the Lord Jesus in your own hearts: to- wit, give Him full possession and en- tire 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, regenera- tion, conversion and justification, there must be a distinet 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 row 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; ye have your fraits unto holiness ‘and the end ever- lasting iife. The doctrine of sanctification has al- ways been recognized as essential in the attainment of a true Christian character by the Methodist church, and a ee ign x menace Lie A grace, he may attaim perfect love to God his Father, and man his brother. Take the hymn by Charles Wesley: Oh joyful souna of gospel grace, Christ shall in’me appear. Leven I shall see His face, I shall be holy here. He visits now this house of clay, He shakes His future home, Oi would’st thou Lord on this glad day apa fe tannic cn With me I know I feel thou art, But this ean not suffice, Unless thon plantest in my heart A constant paradise. Although most Christians accept the doctrine of sanctification they be- lieve it is only attained at death. If so what of those who die suddenly without time for preparations by sanc- tification? Then we aust either ac- cept the doctrine of the Catholics of pergatory, which meaus purging aft- er death, or that the individual is lost who did not have time to seek sanc- tification. We should strive to under- stand the true meaning of the term. Sanctification, or holiness, which in comparative language is almost. sy- nonymous to sanctify, to conse- crate. A minister of God ordained to the work of the Gospel as with the aneient 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 Meth- odist church and most orthodox churches, and all appertaining to its appointments, the rostrum, the altar rails and the vessels used in the holy cucharist, sanctified, consecrated and devoted holy and absolutely to this object. Their use for any other purpose would be regarded as sacre- ligious 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 at- tained it, Is it any proof that riches are not attainable because so few ob- tain 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 fail- ure? Oh, for a heart to praise my God, A heart from sin set free, A heart that always feels Thy blood, So freely spilt for me. LOUIS HENEKEN, GROCER. Successor to Theo.
