SHOULD W. T. VERNON BE AS REGIST A Few Facts Not State of Kansas, Geary County: ss. Emma Brown, of lawful age, being first duly sworn, deposes and says: I met this man that they call Rev. W. T. Vernon, Prof. Vernon, Prof. William Teumsch Vernon, Dr. Vernon, for the first time on Thursday or Friday before the last Saturday of the annual Kansas Conference of the A. M. E. church, which convened in Lawrence, Kansas, in 1898. He was introduced to me in the highest terms, and having heard of him before, and his connection as president of the Quindaro school, I presumed the introduction not too high. On the last Friday or Saturday (the next day after the introduction) of the conference, the Rev. William Peck and myself went in the afternoon to the university buildings. I was then teaching in Lawrence public schools, and residing there with my father and stepmother, the Rev. G. W. and Mrs. Mary Brown. I attended Mr. Peck through the buildings, and when down, we sat on the steps of "Snow Hall" for a rest. While there this man Vernon and my sister, Willa, came. They went through this building, and on returning Willa complained of tire. Vernon asked me to accompany him through the other building (Frazier hall). (This was vacation season, and the buildings were open, and it was a very common and ordinary way of entertaining strangers or visitors who came to the city to show them through the buildings during the visiting hours, which were from 1 to 5 o'clock p.m.) When on the top floor of the building, which is three or four stories high, without a moment's notice, hint, sign or anything that would inform me of his intentions, this brute Vernon grabbed me with both arms. I never was more surprise, and could not realize for a second that he thus had me, or what his aim was. I struggled with him and resisted him with all my might. His attack was vicious and brutal, and he held me in a vice. I was thrown to the floor, my head receiving a severe blow from some source, knocking me senseless. I do not know how long the struggle lasted. When I came to I was standing in the door leaning against the door-facing. I was yet in a dazed condition; I remember that I started down; Vernon rushed in front of me and stopped me, and asked if I was going to tell. I told him I was. He said: "If you do it will be your last." I was frightened by this threat, and did not utter a word till he was gone. When I reached Willa and Mr. Peck, Willa asked me what was the matter. I was afraid to say till he was gone, and then I told. We went home, Willa, Mr. Peck and I, told my mother of the brutal assault in the presence of sister Willa and Mr. Peck. We wanted the brute arrested, but was prevented from doing so by the urgent persuasion of the Rev. Mr. Peck, who had introduced him to me the day before. We decided to take his advice, and leave the matter to my father. On account of this assault by Vernon I have been unable to continue my work, and much of the time have been under treatment. I have not experienced a well day since. He injured my knee, ankle, wrist, side and one finger, which is stiff until this day. I make this statement in defense of myself, as I am informed that Vernon claims his conduct was by my consent. A more flagrant and wicked falsehood was never told. Since the matter has become public, (which I have always sought to avoid), I have determined that the truth shall be known. EMMA BROWN. Subscribed and sworn to before me and in my presence this 26th day of August, 1901. WM. H. LAUNDY, [Seal.] Notary Public. Commission Expires August 20, 1902. State of Kansas, County of Geary: ss. Willa Brown, of lawful age, being duly sworn, deposes and says: On Friday or Saturday afternoon (the last Friday or Saturday of the A. M. E. con- ference, which was held in Lawrence, Kansas, 1898), on my way from home to the church in which the conference was being held, I met W. T. Vernon, who asked me (after informing me that there was no session of the conference that afternoon), where the Rev. William Peck was? I told him that he, Mr. Peck, and my sister, Emma, had gone to the university buildings. He asked me if I would accompany him to the buildings, and I told him I would, and did so. When we got there we found Mr. Peck and sister Emma sitting on the step of one of the buildings. I went with Mr. Vernon through one of the buildings, and when we returned to Emma and Mr. Peck I was quite tired, and so stated. Vernon then asked my sister Emma to go through the other Lyons building with him, and they started off together, leaving Mr. Peck and myself to wait their return. When Emma and Vernon came back to us I saw at once that something was wrong with Emma. She seemed almost helpless and speechless. I asked her what was the matter, and before she had time to say anything in reply to my question Vernon replied that he must go, taking out his watch, and said his train was due, or near due, and that he must go, and immediately started off, almost on a run. I followed him a distance, and called him to know what he had done to Emma, for I knew from her appearance that she had been mistreated in some way, but Vernon gave me no answer, but kept going. Emma told me that Vernon had shamefully mistreated her. When we went home it was decided by Emma and myself to have Vernon arrested. But the Rev. Mr. Peck, who had returned with us to our home, insisted that it would be best not to do so, and persuaded us to leave the matter for adjustment to my father. Emma changed her clothing, which had been soiled in the building, and examination disclosed that her ankle, knee, wrist and one finger was injured. Within four days thereafter she took to bed, and I do not think she has experienced a well day since. I substituted for her in her school work very frequently since that time on account of injuries received in that building with Vernon. WILLA BROWN. Subscribed and sworn to before me and in my presence this 26th day of August 1901. WM. H. LAUNDY, [Seal.] Notary Public. (COPY.) Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 25, 1898. Dear Miss Emma: I arrived here 10:31 p. m., very, very tired after my real experience at your home. I must, however, say, that I never enjoyed myself more in my life than I did at your home. Please be assured of this fact. From Wednesday until my last moment. I shall be glad to return whenever you see fit to extend such an invitation, which will be, of course, a treat to me. And be assured I shall not be content until I have the chance to repay you by some means of gratitude. After leaving you last evening I went to the station, and on my way I met Prof. Vernon. I plainly told him your position; he seemed very regretful, and would willingly gone to you last night and made all kinds of apologies, but I would not allow him; he, however, says any apology you may demand he is willing to make such. Now, Emma, I want to take you into my confidence for awhile. You know we are not strangers, although we have lately met, but you, to me, have vowed your love, and I in turn have done the same to you. And this means a great deal. Now you also know your position in Lawrence, not as a mere personage, but you are a teacher, one who is looked upon by all who see you as a representative young woman; now to be careful, remember you are as a postage stamp, one corner torn off of you can run and escape his stain, but you must live in the surroundings of the matter. As it is, you, I and your family know for God's sake, yours and my sake, leave it where it is. I don't want to hear your name connected with the affair, but want you to leave it alone, and try to forget it. Be assured I shall. It shall always be a pain to me if I hear your name made public about this affair. Your pure life can outlive all these things. Then, if you love me, remember my request—you stand in my sight as pure as snow. Is there anyone else to whom you feel obligated; if so tell me, but I fancy you are mine; then take a lover's advice. I trust passion shall not rule in this particular, but remember me and for my sake remain the same pure Emma, than the one who is suspicioned by public comment. Don't act hastily. As soon as I have the chance to go W. U. I shall send you my picture. I am in K. C. Mo., to-day. Preached this morning: My love to "Willa" and your mother; also, father. Be assured of my unfaltering love and devotion, and remember all I have said. I am as ever you WM, H. PECK. Address $13 Tenth St., Kansas City, Mo. State of Iowa, Iowa County, State of Iowa, Page County: ss. G. W. Brown, of lawful age, being duly sworn, deposes and says: I am the father of Emma and Willa Brown, and in the year 1898, and for years prior thereto, I resided in the city of Lawrence, Kansas, with my family. I ST. LOUIS. MO., SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1906. was not at home on the day that my daughter Emma was assaulted by this man Vernon, which was Friday or Saturday of last days of annual A. M. E. conference held in Lawrence in 1898. I a few days after its close I learned that my daughter Emma had been assaulted by Vernon. I went to Kansas City, Kansas, and saw him. In the meantime my daughter had taken down in bed. I demanded of him an explanation. He said to me that he host control of himself while with my daughter in the university building at Lawrence. He admitted the assault on her. I am a minister of the Gospel, and Vernon professed to be then. I did not want a publication of the matter. My daughter was a teacher in Lawrence public schools. I did not want anything sensational to embarrass her. I know of no other reason except one (which I do not now care to mention), that kept me from having Vernon arrested at that time. My daughter was greatly injured. A knee, ankle, wrist and one finger bore evidence of the brutal assault. Vernon is a large and powerful man, weighing, I presume, over two hundred (200) pounds, while my daughter, Emma, weighed about one hundred and ten (110) pounds. Signed. Subscribed and sworn to before me and in my presence this 5th day of September, 1901. [Seal.] E. B. WESTCOTT, Notary Public for Iowa in Page County. The committee has no candidate for the position in question, but is opposed to the advancement of any man of the reputation of W. T. Vernon. For years and years, your committee is informed, and believes the information to be true, W. T. Vernon has managed to keep this matter from a fair and full investigation, either in the courts or conferences, or before the board of managers employing him. This is to ask the senate of the United States to give an honest expression in favor of righteousness and decency. Will such a body of high honor have the currency of the country labeled with the unmentionable crime? This committee wishes to state further that Miss Brown is well and favorably known throughout the state of Kansas. She is a young woman of spotless reputation and of good character. She is now stopping at 1634 Tenth street, N. W., Washington, D. C. and will be glad to give any further information you may desire. The committee believe that this information was kept from the president, otherwise he would not have sent the name of the accused to the senate for confirmation. This information we give for the benefit of the public, whose honorable servants you are. We most respectfully submit the matter to your honest judgment. G. W. HAMILTON, Chairman. REV. J. S.

Don't be selfish. Our Saviour spent his life for others. It is worth the while to spend money, time and energy trying to raise higher the moral, physical, spiritual and mental plane of our young men. The literary on Tuesday evenings are becoming very interesting. Some very good thoughts are produced, and we look for telling results in future. Crowds of young men attend the Bible class on Sunday at 4 o'clock. Prof. Dameron, of Lincoln Institute, addressed the men's meeting at 5 o'clock. Four young men made application to join the association. The Ladies' Auxiliary, with Mrs. Barrett, chairman, will see that refreshments are served in abundance at the Clarence White concert, May 7. They are planning a strawberry festival, May 18, to raise money for the interest note. The chairmen of the City Federation of Women's clubs met in the parlors Thursday afternoon to take steps to entertain Mrs. Anthony and Miss Pigeon, of Lincoln Institute, who will be here to take part in the White concert, May 7, at St. Paul's chapel. When passing along Grand and Finney avenues, behold what preparations the white citizens have made to surround their young men with wholesome influences and to help them be strong and forceful men. Then inquire what part you are playing for the good of your young men. At the Literary Tuesday evening a club was formed, with Mr. A. J. Buekner chairman, to work in conjunction with other similar clubs, which may be formed, for the purpose of securing for St. Louis an industrial school for Colored people. Anything which will tend to make our boys more thrifty, industrious and self-reliant should be gladly welcomed. We sometimes hear of good men, and we take it that he is good from what people say, but we know it when it is shown to us. Go to Sam, the Tailor, 204 North Fourteenth street.

San Francisco, April 26.—At a gen- eral executive meeting, Wednesday, at Fort Mason, the special legislative ses- sion and the measures there to be con- sidered were thoroughly discussed. The question of martial law was also con sidered. The matter of food distribu- tion was finally and completely turned over to the commissary department in the charge of Maj. Dravo, and the various committees reported. At the meeting were Mayor Schmitz, Generais Funston and Greely, Secretary Met- ealf, Garrett McInerny and represenia- tives of every committee. The entire assembly drew up a message to Gov. Pardee, in which they stated their ve- quest for a special session of the leg- islature and the reasons for such re- quest, and accompanied it with another message asking for a prompt reply. Necessary Calamity Laws. ‘The feature of passing a general ce- lamity law empowering the city to cir- culate enough bonds for the recon- struction of San Francisco was 'egally explained. The opinion of all present was that by all means this session should be called, and that the necessary calamity laws should be passed. It was shown that the expense would be less than $2,000 a day. ‘The Army Overtaxed. Gen. Greely assured Mayor Schmitz that the army was willing and anxious to do all in its power in the relief meas- ures now being enforced. But as a supplement of this assurance hé peti- tioned the municipal authorities to re- alize the fact that the army is being overtaxed; that they are being asked to cover too wide a range of work, and that they have it not within their power to attend to as much as had been assigned to them. ‘Chicazo Offers Architects. Chicago has even offered a corps of architects, but the committees were unazimous and emphatic in responding that San Francisco is well able to de- sign the “city beautiful” which it is proposed to build. Secretary Metcalf is so overwhelmed with relief contributions that he has been unable to compile any authentic total to date. He said on the subject of contributions: “These contributions are so numerous and come so rapidly that I have simply been unable to more than record them, Mayor Schmitz believes the sum total to be between four and six millions, but I am reasonably positive that the total is about six millions.” Overwhelmed With Provisions, The food committen:reported that all necessary provisions are on hand and obtainable. They said that they were even overwhelmed with provisions. Perishable food is causing trouble, Mayor Schmitz drew up a telegram which was to be sent over the entire United States requesting all sources of relief to refrain from sending perish- able food. Food supplies should be limited to staples. Relief Funds At Hand. The total amount of the relief fund up to and including Tuesday, April 24, as reported by the committee on finance, was — $2,306,43.05. Of this amount $2,115,716.05 was from out of town sources, while the local subscrip- tions amounted to $190,700. ‘These fig- ures are considerably lower than those Published unofficially on several occa- sions, but the finance committee takes cognizance only of these subscriptions of which it has been definitely informed.

WILLIAM DOVER, Proprietor ATTACKED THE HEART Awful Neuroalgia Case Cured to Stay Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Neuralgia in any form is painful but when it attacks the heart it is frequently fatal. Complicated with indigestion of a form that affected the vital organ it threatened serious consequences in an instance just reported. The case is that of Mr. F. L. Graves, of Pleasanthill, La., who tells of his trouble and cure as follows: "I traveled considerably, was exposed to all kinds of weather and was irregular in my sleeping and eating. I suppose this was the cause of my sickness, at any rate, in May, 1905. I had got so but that I was compelled to quit work and take to my bed. I had a good doctor and took his medicine faithfully but grew worse. I gave up hope of getting better and my neighbors thought I was surely going to die. "I had smothering spells that it is awful to recall. My heart fluttered and then seemed to cease beating. I could not lie on my left side at all. My hands and feet swelled and so did my face. After reading about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in a newspaper I decided to try them and they suited my case exactly. Before long I could see an improvement and after taking a few boxes I was entirely cured. I am glad to make this statement and wish I could cause every sufferer to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do not simply deaden pain; they cure the trouble which causes the pain. They are guaranteed to contain no narcotic, stimulant or opiate. Those who take them run no danger of forming any drug habit. They act directly on the blood and it is only through the blood that any medicine can react the nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all drummists or will be sent, postpaid, or receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $3.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectadet, N.Y. FACTS ABOUT STAMPS. A specialist who collected the stamps of France and her colonies recently sold his collection for $11,000. It takes a stamp collector to tell where are Ancash, Antofagasta, Apurimac, Chiapa, Diego Suarez, Bamra Yca, Wadwhan, Goliad, Jhino, Ujong Faridkot, Nabba and Obock. It requires more than 40 large albums to house the collection of United States stamps owned by the earl of Crawford. This collection of United States stamps is thought to be the most complete in existence. The credit of originating adhesive stamps is generally given to James Chalmers, of Dundee, Scotland. He first advocated them in 1837, and in accordance with a legislative enactment of December 21, 1839, they were issued for public use in England May 6, 1840. One Too Many for Them. A short time ago a gang of rivetons was sent to do some work on a bridge in course of construction. They got lodgings and started to board them selves; but they began to think the landlady was helping herself to their food, so they thought they would try and catch her. Seeing new potatoes exposed for sale at a grocer's they bought some, and having counted them, they gave them to the landlady, to cook for their dinners. Each man was to count how many he got; but to their surprise, when they lifted the cover off the dish, they found the landlady had mashed the potatoes! Heredity. "I know I'm losing my hair early in life," says the young man, passing his hand over his bare scalp; "but my father and grandfather became bald at 20." "Ah," comments the pickle-nosed in individual, who is always thinking up such things, "then you are the heir to their hairlessness." — Magazine of Fun. A BUSY WOMAN Can Do the Work of 3 or 4 If Well Fed An energetic young woman living just outside of New York, writes: "I am at present doing all the house work of a dairy farm, caring for 2 children, a vegetable and flower garden, a large number of fowls, besides managing an extensive exchange business through the mails and pursuing my regular avocation as a writer for several newspapers and magazines (designing fancy work for the latter) and all the energy and ability to do this I owe to Grape-Nuts food. "It was not always so, and a year ago when the shock of my nursing baby's death utterly prostrated me and deranged my stomach and nerves so that I could not assimilate as much as a mouthful of solid food, and was in even worse condition mentally, he would have been a rash prophet who would have predicted that it even would do so. "Prior to this great grief I had suffered for years with impaired digestion, insomnia, agonizing cramps in the stomach, pain in the side, constipation, and other bowel derangements all these were familiar to my daily life. Medicines gave me no relief—nothing did, until a few months ago at a friend's suggestion, I began to use Grape-Nuts food, and subsequently gave up coffee entirely and adopted Postum Food Coffee at all my meals. "To-day I am free from all the troubles I have enumerated. My digestion is simply perfect, I assimilate my food without the least distress, enjoy sweet restful sleep, and have a buoyant feeling of pleasure in my varied duties. In fact, I am a new woman, entirely made over, and I repeat, I owe all to Grape-Nuts and Postum Coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, "The Road to Wollweil," in plugs STATE HAPPENINGS. Robinson's Farm Changes Hands. Mexico—The biggest land deal in the history of this county was consummated here when the old farm and training quarters of "Jim Robinson, world's champion barehack rider," was sold to Morgan brothers, of Douglass county, Ill. The farm consists of 1,000 acres, and is one of the finest in the county, having on it the mammoth barn with its finished hardwood stalls in which the champion stabled his favorite steeds. In the early days this farm was the home of nearly every species of wild animal, and in one section of the barn the tiers of cages are still standing. Dozens of barehack riders, some still in the arena, received their training here. The original owner of the place was the first to turn a backward somersault from the back of a galloping horse, and in recognition of his championship was presented with a diamond ring by Queen Victoria, and later, in the early 60s, the citizens of Havana, Cuba, presented him with a diamond belt. The farm, prior to the last sale, was the property of J. R. Johnson, of this county, who parted with it for a consideration of $100,000. Barrington Witness Kills Himself. Clayton—John M. Oellen, a former deputy sheriff in St. Louis county, took carbolic acid at his home at Maddonville, where he owned a saloon, and died before a physician could reach him. No cause could be assigned except that he had been drinking. He is said to have been subject to spells of despondency. Oellen was one of the chief witnesses against F. Seymour Barrington, convicted at Cayton of murdering James P. McCann. At the time of the murder he was motorman on the St. Louis & St. Charles line. His car carried Barrington and McCann to Bonfils, and he talked to the men as they left the car. He also testified to hearing revolver shots and screams. On his return from St. Charles, Oellen told his wife that he wanted to lie down, and went to his room. Soon afterward Mrs. Oellen found her husband dying. Cororner Koch announced that death had been caused by acid self-administered. Oellen was 35 years old, and is survived by a widow and two children. Partners Killed By Officers. Richmond—"Skip" Wilson, a one-armed man, and "Billy" Duvall, his partner in a wild west show, were shot and killed in a fusillade between the partners on one side and five officers on the other. The fight came up over a warrant charging Duvall with selling mortgaged property. Officers Hill and Owens went to the wild west exhibition tent, owned by Duvall and Wilson, and served the writ, but claim they were driven from the show at the point of pistols. The officers returned to town and, re-enforced by Officers Crowe, Byers and Good, started to return. Near the public square they met Duvall and Wilson. The officers state that they were fired on first. To Make Insurance Ruling. Jefferson City-State Superintendent of Insurance Vandiver says that since the warfare wagered against the larger old-line life insurance companies in this state, his department has been overrun with applications from life insurance companies of every conceivable nature for licenses to do business in Missouri. He says his department will make a ruling that any of these concerns applying for license must first show that they have been in operation at least one year in the state in which originally chartered. State University's Mock Trial. Columbia—The annual mock trial given here proved to be the best entertainment in the university in years. The trial was before the gates of St. Peter. St. Peter finally admitted all applicants except Dr. C. W. Hetherington, the athletic director, and Prof. Fritz Krull, professor of music at the university. Reformer Sued For Damages. St. Joseph—Rev B. F. Crisman, pastor of the First Methodist church and leader of a crusade against all kinds of Sunday sports and vice, is made defendant in a damage suit for $30,000 brought by Mrs. Elva J. Nicholas. Rev Crisman secured the services of detectives, and led a raid on the home of Mrs. Nicholas. Fatal Accident On River. Clayton—Arthur Lampling, aged 13, was accidentally killed near Valley Park, on the Meramec river, by Georgia Coslow. a member of a yachting party, who was shooting at a bird. Lampling was on the bank, and the bullet pierced his heart. The coroner's inquest resulted in a verdict of accident. Aged Man Ends His Troubles. St. James—An old Frenchman named Peloid hanged himself to a tree. A few months ago he gave his property to a neighbor, who in turn was to give the old man a home for life. Methodists in Conference. Mountain Grove—The district conference of the Springfield district, M. E. church south, was held here. The discussions were very interesting. Soll in Excellent Condition. Columbia—Under the influence of sunshine and fresh southerly winds, Missouri soil has dried out rapidly and is in excellent condition. Shot Himself in Month. St. Louis—Brooding over financial losses, Fred Schaefer, aged 61, committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth with a shotgun. Failure Prompted Suicide. St. Louis—Fred Rahning, aged 36, who recently failed in the grocery business, committed suicide with carbolic acid in a saloon. THE CHOICE OF PAINT. Fifty years ago a well-painted house was a rare sight; to-day an unpainted house is rarer. If people knew the real value of paint a house in need of paint would be "scarcer than hen's teeth." There was some excuse for our forefathers. Many of them lived in houses hardly worth preserving; they knew nothing about paint, except that it was pretty; and to get a house painted was a serious and costly job. The difference between their case and ours is that when they wanted paint it had to be made for them; whereas when we need paint we can go to the nearest good store and buy it, in any color or quality ready for use. We know, or ought to know by this time, that to let a house stand unpainted is most costly, while a good coat of paint, applied in season, is the best of investments. If we put off the brief visit of the painter we shall in due time have the carpenter coming to pay us a long visit at our expense. Lumber is constantly getting scarcer, dearer and poorer, while prepared paints are getting plentier, better and less expensive. It is a short-sighted plan to let the valuable lumber of our houses go to pieces for the want of paint. For the man that needs paint there are two forms from which to choose; one is the old form, still favored by certain unprogressive painters who have not yet caught up with the times—lead and oil; the other is the ready-for-use paint found in every up-to-date store. The first must be mixed with oil, driers, turpentine and colors before it is ready for use; the other need only be stirred up in the can and it is ready to go on. To buy lead and oil, colors, etc., and mix them into a paint by hand is, in this twentieth century, about the same as refusing to ride in a trolley car because one's grandfather had to walk or ride on horseback when he wanted to go anywhere. Prepared paints have been on the market less than fifty years, but they have proved on the whole so inexpensive, so convenient and so good that the consumption today is something over sixty million gallons a year and still growing. Unless they had been in the main satisfactory, it stands to reason there would have been no such steady growth in their use. Mixed paints are necessarily cheaper than paint of the hand-mixed kind, because they are made in a large way by machinery from materials bought in large quantities by the manufacturer. They are necessarily better than paints mixed by hand, because they are more finely ground and more thoroughly mixed, and because there is less chance of the raw materials in them being adulterated. No painter, however careful he may be, can ever be sure that the materials he buys are not adulterated, but the large paint manufacturer does know in every case, because everything he buys goes through the chemist's hands before he accepts it. Of course there are poor paints on the market (which are generally cheap paints). So there is poor flour, poor cloth, poor soap; but because of that do we go back to the hand-mill, the hand-loom and the soap-kettle of the backwoods. No, we use our common sense in choosing goods. We find out the reputation of the different brands of flour, cloth and soap; we take account of the standing of the dealer that handles them, we ask our neighbors. So with paint; if the manufacturer has a good reputation, if the dealer is responsible, if our neighbors have had satisfaction with it, that ought to be pretty good evidence that the paint is all right. Many paints of many kinds; but while prepared paints may differ considerably in composition, the better grades of them all agree pretty closely in results. "All roads lead to Rome," and the paint manufacturers, starting by different paths, have all the same object—to make the best paint possible to sell for the least money, and so capture and keep the trade. There is scarcely any other article of general use on the market to-day that can be bought with anything like the assurance of getting your money's worth as the established brands of prepared paint. The paint you buy today may not be like a certain patent medicine, "the same as you have always bought," but if not, it will be because the manufacturer has found a way of giving you a better article for your money, and so making more sure of your next order. P. G. New Light on Scriptures A former bishop of the Episcopal church of Indiana once preached to a black congregation. At the conclusion of the discourse, several of the negroes crowded about the preacher and praised his sermon, saying it was the best they had ever heard. One enthusiast exclaimed: "Bishop, you tol' us things we nevah knew befo'." "Indeed," said the bishop, gratified at the praise. "What was it I told you that you never knew before?" "Bout Sodom an' Gomorrah. Why, bishop, I always thought they was a man an' his wife."—The Reader. "Taking Their Dust." Mrs. Stockbonds—John, we will have to get a new air carriage immediately! John—Why, my dear, the one we have is practically new. "I can't help that. When I was out for a fly this afternoon the Van der Billion's car went at least 100 feet higher than mine could, and they deliberately kept their shadow over me the whole time!"—American Spectator.

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES—Parallel passages on parable: Matt. 13:1-23 and Luke 8:4-16. Word "parable" as used in Scripture: Ezek. 20:49; Num. 23:7; Psa. 18:2. Mark 12:28. Six occasions of the use of the words, "he that hath ears to hear," etc., as spoken by Christ: Matt. 11:15; 13:48. Mark 4:9; 4:23; 7:16 (Auth. Ver.); Luke 14:35. See also Rev. 2.7, 11, 17, 29, 3:6, 12, 13. 13:9. Compare also Rev. 2.7, 11, 17, 29, 3:6, 12, 13. 14:18. References to thorns, thistles, and briers. Isa. 55:13; Ezek. 28:24; Hos. 10:8; Psa. 118:12; Prov. 24:31; Eccl. 7:6; Jer. 4:3; 12:13. Matt. 11:7, 16:29; Cor. 12:17. Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 1. "Again . . . by the sea." Jesus frequently taught by the Sea of Galilee. "Very great multitude." "Out of every city." (Luke). "Entered into a snip (boat) . . . sea." Seated himself, as a Jewish rabbi would have done, at the prow of the boat, nearest the shore. V. 2. "Many things by parables." Matthew records seven parables spoken on this occasion, and Mark adds one more. All related to aspects of Christ's kingdom, or its growth. V. 3. "Behold." An exclamation to attract attention; quite possibly, also, Jesus pointed to the adjoining hillside, where that of which he told was being enacted. "A sower . . . to sow." "His basket of seed slung under his left arm, with steady, measured pace he marched up and down his portion of the open field, jerking his handful of corn before him at every step."—Tristram. V. 4. "By the wayside." Upon the trodden pathway running through or by the side of the field. "The fowls came and devoured it." Great flocks of rock-pigeons and crows dwell in the hills and valleys surrounding the Sea of Galllee. V. 5. 6. "Stony grounds." Places where a thin layer of earth covered an underlying slab of rock. This rock, becoming warm by the sun, causes the seeds which fall upon it to sprout quickly, but also prevents their roots from striking downward and finding sustenance in the soil. V. 7. "Among thorns." Thorn-bearing plants, of which there are many varieties in Palestine. "Choked it." The thorns, being stronger, soon overtop the grain and rob it of the sunlight; their roots also rob the grain roots of moisture, and perhaps twine around and actually "choke" it. V. 8. Read this according to the Revised rendering. "Thirtyfold. . . sixtyfold . . . an hundredfold." It is not uncommon that, from one grain of wheat sown upon the fertile soil of Palestine, heads bearing 30, 60 or even 100 grains are produced. V. 9. "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." Jesus' call to all His hearers, inviting them to pay earnest heed that they might understand and truly profit from what they had heard. V. 10. "When alone . . . the twelve." When the crowd had dispersed after all the parables spoken on this occasion had been given, a little company truly desirous of understanding, gathered about Jesus, and asked Him to interpret them. V. 11. "Unto you is given." Because you are sincere in heart and receptive in mind. "The mystery of the kingdom of God." The secret religious rites of the Greeks were called "mysteries." The Gospel of Christ is a mystery in that it can be clearly understood only by those whose hearts receive it. V. 12. "Seeing . . . not perceive," etc. A free quotation from Isa. 8: 9, 10, better rendered in Matt. 13:13; where it is clearly shown that the failure to see is because of willfully shutting the eyes—that is, hardening the heart. V. 14. "The sower soweth the word." Jesus knows that His hearers will from this understand that He, at the time of speaking, is the Sower. The seed is the "Word of God," the proclamation of God's love which He was continually teaching by gracious words and kindly deeds. The field, as a subsequent parable tells, is "the world." V. 15. "They by the wayside." They whose hearts, like the wayside, have been hardened by being made "a common road for every evil influence. V. 16. The second class of hearers "hear the Word, immediately receive it with gladness." Their emotions are stirred; they are pleased, exhilarated, made happy, and without any deep thought, decide hastily that they will be followers of Jesus. Prompt decision is not condemned, but the lack of sincerity and deep purpose. V. 17. "Have no root in themselves." Their hearts do not really take hold of Jesus. They think themselves Christians, because, at the moment, that seems to be the most attractive life. "When tribulation or persecution ariseth." The rock-bed of selfishness les under these emotions. V. 3. It becomes us to hearten attentively to every message of God.—Hab. 2:1. V. 9. We are without excuse if the Gospel message which comes to our ears is not permitted to find lodgment in our hearts.—Rom. 1: 20, 21. V. 14. Jesus' representatives upon earth to-day are comissioned to sow the Word of God beside all waters.—John 17:18; Matt. 28:19. V. 17. Personal faith in the living Saviour is the root which does not wither in the furnace of affliction.—Job 13:15.

HEAD · OYGLE COMPANY, Dept. "JL" OHICAGO, IL NEGRO NEWSPAPERS OF THE UNITED STATES. We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command. There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each..... 30 Illinois and North Carolin, 12 each..... 24 Mississippi..... 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas..... 12 Missouri..... 9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each..... 18 Washington, D.

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 (CASH WITH ORDER 84.55) NO MORE TROUBLE FROM PUNCTURES. with weekly white papers of this country. Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to 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.

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. We take pleasure in announcing the names of two young men, Randall and Wells, who are entering the haberdashers' business at 2230 Market street. We ask for them the patronage of every citizen of our city, without discrimination of race or color. Colored men are of the opinion that they cannot always depend on politics for success, and enter into business as any other people and contest for every inch of ground. These young men are prepared to offer the public their furnishings at the prices offered by other firms and to guarantee all work perfect. Don't forget to lend them your assistance. "Satan always evil finds For idle hands to do." The truth of this quotation one can see demonstrated daily in the young men of our race who will not work for love nor money. They hang around street corners, a menace to the community. Some depend on mothers for their living. Others receive money to pay their expenses from outside sources which any man with the slightest degree of self-respect would be ashamed to acknowledge. Our race will never amount to much until our young men and women find pleasure in employment. We are still waiting to hear from Revs. Ferrell and Pruitt, the big "iams" 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. THE PROGRESSIVE LAUNDRY. The business of the Progressive Steam Laundry is still increasing. They have employed six girls and two men. The citizens seem to give their patronage liberally. Now is the time for our girls to prepare for any position that may be opened to them in the rapidly increasing business field among our people. PERSONAL. If you have no money and desire to get some, go to Friedman Loan Co., 1324 Market street. You will never be fully dressed and warm until you see Sam, the Tailor, 204 North Fourteenth street. The Ladies' Aid Sewing Circle of Quinn's chapel in Carondelet, are getting ready for their spring bazar, May 10th and 11th. When a person wants to put one or two lines in the Palladium he must first put up 5 cents for each line, or nothing goes. See Friedman's "ad." He is our friend Anything in life will a man give for money, and Mr. Friedman has the dough. Call and see him—1324 Market street. The sewing circle of St. James church, 2509 Pendleton avenue, meets every Thursday at 2:30 p. m., and is doing much good for the church. Mrs. L. Wilson, president. Mrs. Stone, secretary. Wm. Dover, of 3924 Sophia avenue, has opened a cafe at 3922 Sophia avenue, which is a blessing to that section of the city. Meals are served at all hours. Ice cream, soda water and all the good things that ladies like are in abundance. It opens April 15, Easter Sunday. Pickett's Number Nine (No. 9) for the bowels and liver. Safe and speedy purgative.

We were surprised to see a half bushel of mashed potatoes, turnips, sweet potatoes, fruits of all kinds by the bushel, cooked and ready for use. Meats, such as roast pork, beef, turkey, chicken and all the pies you can mention, ready to make a hungry man happy. All these things are prepared in a small apartment by the little Chicago man, who says: "When you eat at my place, it is just like eating at home." VISITING FRIENDS. Miss Clara Rasbury and Miss Bernice Howard, two school teachers from Kansas City, Mo., are visiting Miss Vassar, of Maple avenue. They were entertained, and after seeing the many interesting places of the city, our churches and schools, expressed their pleasure with our city. They will leave May 1 for their home. Mr. Wm. C. Vassar, also of Kansas City, accompanied them. RANDALL AND WELLS Haberdashers. We hereby invite the many friends and the general public to our neat little store at 2230 Market street, when in need of anything in the gent's furnishing line. We have opened up with a full line of shirts, neckwear, socks, gent's under-wear, umbrellas, etc. Our motto is, "Fair dealing and full value for your money." We anxiously solicit the patronage of every man and youth in the city. Our aim will be to cater, as nearly as possible, to the taste and whims of all. Call and examine our stock. We believe that the Colored people of St. Louis are willing and anxious to patronize any respectable enterprise, established and conducted exclusively by Colored men. We believe that such advances into the business world means a step forward for our race. Hence in launching out into the business field we are actuated not only by a desire for pecuniary gain, but hope to assist in proving that the Negro is capable of something more than occupying menial positions. Thanking you in advance for your patronage and influence for good, we respectfully subscribe ourselves. Webster Groves. The ball given by the Masonic lodge of Webster, April 19, was quite a success. Many St. Louisans attended. For a quiet rest go to Webster and spend a day under the shade trees or on the river bank, fishing. The wedding bells, which have been ringing in honor of Mr. Lieddle Esaw and bride, have ceased. The couple are now united as one. The First Baptist church will have their baptizing in May. The date will be announced in ample time for those from St. Louis who wish to attend. The Farm avenue Baptist church will give a May fete, May 3, 1906. All are invited to attend. Rev.

Miss Mary Clay, of 2601A Lucas avenue, is one of the charming ladies of North Jefferson avenue. She is all O. K. As the Palladium man was out collecting last Tuesday, he beheld two Colored women on Atlantic street, several houses apart, holding a conversation at the tops of their voices. He asked them to please desist, as they were disturbing the neighbors. One was enjoying a lunch and a glass of beverage. It's a pity our people can't cease making themselves so conspicuous, to the amusement of onlookers. With the approach of summer comes the annual appearance of heads out of windows. On Lawton, Market, Morgan, Johnson streets and numbers of others can be seen: HEADS, NAPPY HEADS! WOOLY HEADS, COMBED HEADS! UNCOMBED HEADS! heads of all descriptions, especially when a band is near by or the congregation of a church is being dismissed. Some of the women appear in loose Kimonos, faces not washed and disgraceful appearing in general. The mushroons, negroes, common negroes, the supposed good negro, the bad negro, the black negro, yellow, brown and white, all combine to lend "enchantment(?) to the view," of our prominent streets, by decorating windows with their heads. We shall mention the names of a few if they do not desist. 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 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. 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. --- M. B.

"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.

A number of ladies were present and enjoyed themselves to their hearts’ content. Mr. Harry Denny and Miss Mahala Donohue were awarded the first prize as the best dancers of the two-step. Mr. Chas. Ming, master of cere- monies, acquitted himself in a com- mendable manner. ‘The Palladium man, a staunch re- publican, looked on and was. treated nicely. ‘The Jefferson club has put its sign again and has entered a contest to convert every week-kneed republican into their ranks. The Hon. Geo. B. Jones was the speaker of the evening, and he thoroughly convinced the Pal- ladium man that he was only a gal- vanized republican, who wanted to play democrat for what there is in it.

FIERCE TORNADO IN TEXAS Bellevue Completely Wiped Out and Stoneburg, Hamilton and Hitco Badly Battered. Forth Worth, Tex,—Meager advices received Thursday night state that the town of Bellevue has been totally destroyed by a tornado, 20 or 30 persons have -been killed and many are injured and missing. Fire is destroying the ruins caused by the tornado. ‘A special train has been started from Bowie, Tex., 125 miles distant, for the ‘scene, Bellevue is a town of 1,500 in- habitants. All about the town there is devasta- tion and ruin caused by the wind. Crops have been laid waste over a large area, and it is very probable that there are a number of dead out in the country, whose names may not be ascertained for several days. However, the storm came before it was entirely dark, and most people were equipped with a cy- clone cellars, which may keep down the aeath Ist. Stoneburg, a small town about four miles from Bellevue, 1s also reported as having suffered seriously from the effects of the cyclone. A cotton gin and ten or twelve residences were de- molished, with life loss of from ten to fifteen. Great damage to property is reported between Stoneburg and Bellevue. About an hour prior to the disaster to Stoneburg and Bellevue a storm is re- ported to have struck Hamilton, coun- ty seat of Hamilton county, south of here, doing much damage to property. The depot was blown across the track, carrying Gown ail the wires,, and was wrecked, the station agent being killed. Every building was wiped off the big farm of Sam Young near Stoneburg, anud one man was hurt, but how seri- ously is not known. A telephone message from City Mar- shal Heoper of Hico, just before wire communication was interrupted, says that the tornado did great damage aaa E FIFTEEN SQUARE MILES ‘What Is the Extent of the Devastated Area in San Francixco—It Con- tained 250,000 Inhabitants. Oakland, Cal—The Daily Tribune says: A well-known engineer states that the area devastated by the fire in San Fran- ciseo approximates 10,000 acres, or about 15 square miles. There are few cities in the world where so much val- uable property is contained in an equal territory. Within this 15 square miles were nearly 100 banks, some of the finest of the buildings in the world, thousands of mercantile and manufac- turing establishments, and more than 250,000 inhabitants, besides 40,000 tran- sients. The aggregate number of dead probably will not exceed 700, and will certainly nst reach 1,000. Nothwith- standing the enormous and widespread destruction, the homes of 150,000 peo- ple are still standing, and practically uninjured. There still remains the great shipyards at South San Francisco, the docks and manufactories along the water front from Mission creek to Hunter's Point, the mint, the post of- fice, and a large retail district on Fill- more and Devisadera street. HE WAS A FRIEND INDEED Two San Francixeans Who Will Have Cause to Remember Adol~ phus Busch, of St. Louis. St. Louis—Mr. Adolphus Busch's contribution of $100,000 to the relief fund,” said Mr, Nicholaus,” talking to a party of friends, “is only part of his generosity shown in this great and pressing emergency. “The house where Mr. Busch and his family stayed was destroyed by fire. ‘The owner was a very wealthy man up to the time of the catastrophe, But now he is reduced to almost the bare necessities of life. He had sustatined an enormous loss, and sat weeping over his misfortune. Mr. Busch patted him on the back and said: “‘Here, don’t worry. Just draw on me for $100,000 and pay back when you get ready.’ “One of San Francisco's most distin- guished artists lost his studio and prac- tleally overything else except the clothes om his back. Mr. Busch heard of his case, and without asking ques- tions, told the man to draw on him in- Aofinitely for $200 2 month.” Seundte Will Contre Batnes.

When the late Secretary Hay applied for admission to the bar at Illinois he was summoned to appear before a committee of prominent Chicago lawyers to be examined as to his qualifications, relates the American Spectator. He went to the place appointed and found the committee assembled; but for a long time they took no notice of the young candidate, but continued to talk vigorously together on various subjects. At last one of the lawyers, turning to him, said: "Mr. Hay, what would you do if a client should come to you with such a case as this?" and he proceeded to describe very elaborately a complicated legal case. "I should retain fee of $50," promptly replied Mr. Hay, "and tell him to call to-morrow." "Mr. Hay, you are admitted," said the gentleman, and with a hearty laugh from all present the proceedings closed.

READ AND YOU WILL LEARN That the leading medical writers and teachers of all the several schools of practice endorse and recommend, in the strongest terms possible, such and every ingredient entering into the composition of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for the cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia, catarrh of stomach, liver complaint, obstructive jaundice, all of catarrh diseases of whatever region, name or nature. It is also a specific remedy for all such chronic or long standing cases of catarrh affections and their resultants, as bronchial, throat and lung diseases (except consumption) accompanied with severe coughs. It is not so good for acute colds and coughs, but for lingering, or chronic cases it is especially efficacious in producing perfect cures. It contains Black Cherrybark, Golden Seal root, Bloodroot, Stone root, Mandrake root, and other all-natural oils which are raised as remedies for all the above mentioned affections by such eminent medical writers and teachers as Prof. Bartholow, of Jefferson Med. College; Prof. Hare, of the Univ. of Pa.; Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Bennett Med. College, Chicago; Prof. John King, M. D., late of Cincinnati; Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., late of Cincinnati; Prof. David H. M. Scudder, Med. College Chicago, and scores of others equally cultivated in their several schools of practice. The "Golden Medical Discovery" is the only medicine put up for sale through druggists for like purposes, that has any such professional endorsement—worth more than any number of ordinary testmonials. Open publicity of the wrapped product is the best possible form of authority. A glance at this published formula will show that "Golden Medical Discovery" contains no poisonous or harmful agents and no alcohol—chemically pure, triple-refined glycerine being used instead. Glycerine is entirely unobjectionable and that the cure of all stomach as well as bronchial, throat and lung affections. There is the highest medical authority for its use in all such cases. The "Discovery" is a concentrated glycerine extract of native, medicinal roots and is safe and reliable.

The Inter-Church Conference on Marriage and Divorce at its recent meeting in New York city ordered the preparation and publication of a third appeal to the people of the United States on the subject with which the conference has to deal. There is no new argument to present. The conference is committed to enforce by repetition, and to emphasize by reiteration, the great truth of the sacredness of marriage as not a contract lightly formed and easily broken, but an estate of life, first among the institutions of God for man, and foremost among the sanctities of human life. It needs guarding against the profanation of thoughtlessness, of mere passion, of worldly advantage or social advancement, of mercenary or any other low motives. It needs the protection of wise laws, of sound public opinion, and of religious sanction. The scandal of frequent and facile divorce, with the remarriage that follows, often as the accomplishment and with the accomplishment of the separation, is really a by-word and reproach to our country, remarks the Christian Work; and the radical cure can only be reached by going to the root and cause, namely, the nonrealization of the religious element in matrimony. First of all, then, the true urge requires the true conference the trust and meaning of the marriage bond, "the union of one man with one woman for life." This the clergy ought to teach, "in season and out of season," and this Christian men and women ought to impress deeply upon their own consciences, and to teach their children and their children's children, until the truth shall pervade society and prevail over the loose and low sentiments so common to day. To this end a resolution was adopted by the conference at its last meeting declaring that it was "the sense of the conference that the Scriptural and most effectual way to meet and overcome the divorce evil is by education, with a view to elevating the moral sentiments of the people." Meanwhile the conference is encouraged by its own growth in membership; duly elected representatives from the Presbyterian church in the United States (South), and the Church of the New Jerusalem, having been present at its last meeting. Still more, both by its influence and by the increasing public conviction of the evil of divorce, the atmosphere seems to be clearing. This is noticeable in the public press, in the outspokenness of many clergymen, in the utterances of influential laymen, and in the serious consideration which the question is now receiving from the members of the bar. Difficulties of Missionary in Syria. Dr. George T. Post, a missionary of long experience in Syria, writes: "Missions in Turkey are embarrassed by the drain of emigration more than by all other drawbacks and hindrances. This is a factor against which energetic action is no antidote. Persecutions we can bear; opposition we can overcome; stubborn unbelief we can enlighten; stolid indifference we can interest; but what can we do with nothing? Multiplication of a minus quantity only increases the deficit. We have hoped for the reflex influence of the emigrants on their return laden with new ideas and inspiration, but with few exceptions we have had none of these offsets to the loss. Our only consolation is that He who sent us here is in some mysterious way at the bottom of this movement. His mill grinds slowly but it never closes and is never out of order. At least He can use the situation to exercise our faith in the infinite and far-reaching wisdom of God, who knows the end from the beginning." Revival Meetings by Telephone. A unique feature of the Torrey-Alexander meetings at Philadelphia has been the use of the telephone to extend the circle of influence of the meetings. A telephone company installed a megaphone just above the speakers' stand at the armory, through which the singing of Mr. Alexander and the sermons of Dr. Torrey were transmitted over the wires throughout the city. It was not necessary for the people to leave their homes in order to listen to the revival services; they could do so by merely taking the telephone receiver from the hook and asking Central to connect them with the armory. For five cents they could listen for 15 minutes to the singing and preaching. The use of the invention was probably unique in the history of revival meetings in America. A. Good Motto. A Congregational church at Nottingham, England, has for its motto: "Not parasites on the past, but pioneers of the future." The seventeenth and eighteenth century Puritans and Pilgrims were noble men, says the Congregationalist, but they must long sometimes for less eulogy and more imitation. A Revival in Kunnankulum. Another revival has occurred 'n Kunnankulum, a Syrian town in Traancore, India, containing over 8,000 inhabitants, all Syrian Christians. WHAT AILED JACK'S STEED. With many a hitch of his trousers and pulls at his forelock in respectful salute to justice, Jack Collins, beak seam, was navigated up to the court-room railing by a policeman on a charge of cruelty to animals. "He had a paving-stone tied to the tail of the horse he was riding, your worship," said the officer who had arrested him. "What was that for?" sternly asked the magistrate. “Well, admiral, that wasn’t no cruelty to animals, as this officer says, at all,” blurted out Jack. “I hired that bony craft outside for a short cruise ashore. Soon after getting under way I found the bloomin’ old packet wouldn’t steer a little air, and all down at all, and tacked about the street when the wind was fair astern. Try as I would I couldn’t get steady steerage way on her, and she drifted to windward just as often as she did to leeward. Then, thinks I, she too light by the stern, as her heels were constantly liftin’ and racing just for all the world like our propellers on the boat. I was big, big, big. ‘She wants more weight, caft,’ and then I got him to help me come to an anchor while I shipped a little ballast aft. That’s all, your worship. All shipshape and above-board, and no reason in the world why this blue and brass-bound corvette here should have overheamed me as ‘Dismissed,’ said the justice, after Jack had agreed to jettison the ballast and take the ‘craft’ home in “tow,” which meant lead the ancient steed back to the stable. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this condition is perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, the mucous lining of the ear can out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Succeeds Where Others Fail. Cardui Relieves Pain caused by curable female diseases. It acts directly on woman's delicate organs, and restores their natural activity. By making the organs work normally, pain disappears, strength returns to the system, roses to the cheeks, and the frowns and wrinkles of suffering are seen no more. Mrs. Lucinda Johnson, of Walworth, Wis., writes: "I suffered agonies at every monthly period. Nothing helped me until I took Cardui. Now I can truly say I am cured." Try it. The "change of life" is the most critical period of a woman's existence, and the anxiety felt by women as it draws near is not without reason. Every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time invites disease and pain. When her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy, or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this period likely to become active—and with a host of nervous irritations make life a burden. At this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness, inquietude, and dizziness, are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman's great change may be expected. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was prepared to meet the needs of woman's system at this trying period of her life. It invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system. For special advice regarding this important period women are invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., and it will be furnished absolutely free of charge. The present Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, her assistant before her decease, and for twenty-five years since her advice has been freely given to sick women. Read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound did for Mrs. Hyland and Mrs. Hinkle: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I had been suffering with displacement of the organs for years and was passing through the change of life.

LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES ‘The lecture given in the Auditorium on the 19th inst., by Prof. Patty, on the wonders of “Radium, Liquid Afr, and Wireless Telegraphy,” was well attended by faqulty and students; and was replete’ with imformation through word and experiment. In every re- spect it was an evening long to be re- membered in the lecture course, whieh President Allen has selected with so much care. ‘The Globe-Democrat of Sunday, April 22, contains this excellent tribute to Lincoin Institute, within a very in- teresting article by Walter Williams, of the State University; the statement quoted having been made primarily by Prof. G. V. Buchanan, of Sedalia: “Missouri has looked well to the educational opportunities of the chil- dren of the Colored people, and has provided in Lincoln Institute, at Jef- ferson City, one of the best schools in the country for the preparations of Col- ored teachers. The nature of the work of this normal school differs from that of the others, only as the different needs and attitude of the race seem to require. The courses of instructions are broad, the management is liberal. and the faculty consists of the best Colored educators the state can pro- cure. Perhaps the most marked feature of this institution is its department of agricultural and manual industries ‘n which it takes high ranks. Prof. Beasley, principal of Colum- bia Normal Academy, a preparatory school for the university, made his an- nual visit to Jefferson City, on Satur- day last, and telegraphed President ‘l- len that the party would come directiy from the train to Lincoln Institute. Accordingly, about 11 a. m. teachers and students were in evidence in large numbers, receiving from President Al- len a hearty welcome, with freedom of the grounds and buildings. They carefully inspected the work of the literary and industrial departments, the domestic and dormitory appoint- ments, freely and frequently com- mented upon the excellence of the werk, the cleanliness, ete., ete. In addition to several other engage- ments President Allen has accepted an invitation from the management of the high school, of Kansas City, Kas., to deliver to the graduating class the an- nual address and the diplomas. Indications point to an unusually large attendance upon Lincoln Insti- tute’s summer school. For full infor- mation, address Dr. B. F. Allen, presi- dent. Sixty-fifth anniversary of St. Paui A, M. B. chureh was held Friday even- ing, April 20, 1906, at Tivoli hall, Olive street, near Leonard. The affair was a grand success, The welcome address made by Miss Henrietta Mormon was excellent. It stamped her as a splen- id speaker. : ‘The address of Dr, J. McDowell was good as was also the solo by Mr. Wal- ter Bond. ‘The climax of the evening was the duet by Mr. and Mrs. Braden. It was very touching and effective, and every word was sung with the sweetness of Black Patti. The manner of delivery ‘was perfect, so much so that the vast audience applauded them and was un- willing to let them go. ‘The gifted drill-mistress, Mrs. C. K. Robinson, followed, Mr. and Mrs. Bra- den, with sixteen little girls in a calisthenie drill. ‘The drill surpassed anything that we have ever seen. The leader, little Helen, of 3805 Morgan street, but ine years old seemed to inbue the others with con- fidence. ‘The grand march was splendid and attractive.

The first person noticeable was Mr. and Mrs. George Holt, of 2704 Lawton avenue. The Palladium man remained but a short while, and on coming down. the steps met Mrs. Carter, who was late arriving.
