A. Collins, S. G: V: Mrs. Julia Gibbs, M. E. V, Mrs. C. Jones, M: E: V: Mrs. Josephine Brown, M. E. Q: Mrs. Katie Pitts, M. Q: Mrs. Bain Pitts, V. P: the Grand Leader Juvenile, East St Louis, and Hon: J. W. Wheeler, Editor of the Palladium, Vol. XXII. No. 22. On the night of May 6, Dr. D. L. Martin, S. M., in company with his wife, boarded the Dixie Flyer for St. Louis, over the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis, and Illinois Central Railroad. The run was perfect from start to finish. We had no sleeper, but yet we slept all the way. This was due to the fact that we were seated in a splendid chair coach, which was not crowded, and we simply had things to ourselves, and we say here, if you are going to St. Louis try this route once. At the Union Station we were met by a committee who had a carriage waiting. Among this committee was one old friend and brother, John W. Wheeler. God bless John, for we have been brothers for 25 years. Another was Mrs. S. A. Collins, the grand queen of the west, at whose palatial residence we had been assigned. Orders to move were given, and the up-to-date carriage donated for the occasion by Mr. Anderson Russell, an up-to-date undertaker, of St. Louis, did move, and in a few moments we alighted in front of 3220 Hickory street. Breakfast was served in great style by Sister Collins and her kind assistants, Mrs. Susie Corbett and Mrs. L. Ramons. A hearty welcome and the keys turned over to us. At night the carriage called for us again and we were driven to the hall, where a splendid program was carried through, which consisted of speeches by prominent women and men of the order in St. Louis, as well as one hour's address by the Supreme Master. Dr. Martin is a talented speaker, and if you give him time he will let you know what he is driving at. His address was full of wit, and kept the house in on uproar of laughter. Speaking of the many trials through which the order had passed during the 18 years existence, and of the falling by the wayside of even his own cabinet of supreme officers, he said that they all turned Dr. Martin and his order out into the commons to die just like one would turn out an old wormout mule. But that death was so slow coming some of the great ones came and examined his pulse and pronounced him very much alive, and that the other day Sir J. W. Randolph, G. M., of Tennessee, closed up his annual tour over the state at Nashville, and that after hearing his report many of those whom had left us began to clamor to return. His remarks were pointed and he displayed a thoughtful knowledge of what was going on. He assured the members that the order was for unity, love and charity. That the officers were the servants and not masters; that a child could lead a horse to water, but a thousand men could not make him drink. He urged each one to unite in this grand cause and work to build up. He showed that there were no salaried officers and that when a lodge or council received its charter that the presiding officer at once become a member of the Supreme Lodge, and was amenable thereto for all actions. That we did not create circuits for men or women out of work to go from place to place, show their high authority and draw out money put there to meet the legal demands of the order. He said a lodge or council should learn to control their own affairs. At once, he said, we have a great field of raw material in which to work, and he explained that a hustling organizer could make it a good business. He will appoint several new organizers as well as a supreme grand queen of the western states; also supreme grand master of the same. These states comprise Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. These two officers will have power to appoint local organizers and to visit annually all the L. & C. & J. in their district of states, and also to make special visits when sent for. The Supreme Queen will look after councils and juveniles, and the Supreme Grand District Master will look after lodges, but he can visit a council of Juveniles if sent for. He said to new organizers do not act like others have done by going into communities organizing and have a big time, then stay there till the people become tired of them and break the new organization up. The best way, he said, was to go and set up your lodge o: council, go back till you have finished your work and thoroughly instructed your officers and members, then go to the next place. But if at any time you get an invitation to come back on a visit go, but don't push yourselves off on the L. & C., simply to draw out their money that was collected for other purposes. The Supreme Master said that the annual tax of 50 cents per member, was to defray the running expenses of the order. He granted a special dispensation of councils and juveniles that had been taxed to defray his expenses on this visit. The program from start to finish consisted of a meeting Monday night at Widow Son's hall. This meeting was attended by many of the most prominent men and women of the order in the west. Speeches were delivered by Mrs. S. A. Collins, S. N. G.; Mrs. Mamie Buckner; paper by Mrs. Julia Gibbs, subject, "Unity, Love and Charity; address, Mrs. C. Jones; address, Mrs. J. Brown; introduction of M. by Hon. J. W. Wheeler; address by Rev. W. B. Stewart; W. H. Fields, master of ceremonies. On Tuesday night the palatial residence of Mrs. Ada Harris was decorated from front to back and every door thrown open to visitors who came to banquet the supreme master and wife. A program, consisting of speeches, was first carried out, Daughter S. A. Collins being the toast mistress. She called on Dr. Scott, who responded in eloquent style. The next called being Dr. McCellon, who did honor to the occasion, then Mr. Carter, an official of the K. P., who paid a special tribute to Sister Collins. After speech-making closed Sir W. H. Fields gave orders to march to the lower story where a splendid repast was served in courses. All enjoyed the banquet to the highest and left for home on the owl. Wednesday afternoon the guides gave orders to move on to East St. Louis. We arrived there about 3 p.m. Our first stop was at the residence of Sister C. Jones, M. E. Q. She had prepared a home dinner that was so wholesome that most of the guests made themselves sick by acting the glutton. Many thanks, Sister Jones. At 8:30 we went to the hall and found waiting 100 Knights and Daughters of Africa The meeting was presided over by the S. M., assisted by Daughters Gibbs and Collins. The meeting lasted two hours, and all went home feeling benefited. The D. L. Martin Juvenile met at 2 p.m. Thursday The visit closed with a visit to Belleville, Ill. Here Daughter J. Brown is in full control. Particulars of this meeting will be seen elsewhere. The supreme master and wife left for home Saturday morning. Many sad hearts witnessed the departure. All felt that the effects of the visit will be lasting. The S. M. promised to return in six years, provided that all present will stand firm till that time and be ready to repeat the same programme. All said: "I will endeavor so to do, God being our helper." It was ordered that the proceedings be first printed by Sir J. W. Wheeler in the St. Louis Palladium. Notice. I beg to express to you one and all my heartfelt appreciation for your kindness to me since I have accompanied my husband, Dr. D. L. Martin, S. M., on his visit in your midst. I wish I had words to express my high appreciation for all you have done. I also wish that this act on your part was witnessed by members of the order in Alabama, and elsewhere. You have relaid a strong foundation of love in my heart for all workers in the same cause you are working. I see clearly that you mean just what you say, and that your objects are good and that you are truly laboring in an humble way to uplift fallen humanity. Accept seriously my many thanks. May the blessings of God rest upon you all. Fraternally, MRS. D. L. MARTIN, S. M. ROLL OF HONOR.

The supreme master delivered an address, as did also Hon. J. W. Wheeler, after which Sister Brown formed a line of march, and 100 persons retired to the basement, where a grand repast was spread. Everyone ate to his heart's content. Much praise is due Daughter Brown for her work. Among the visitors were Mrs. C. Jones, of East St. Louis; Mrs. Woodson, Lucy Mays, Rosia Combs, L. Mays, Buford, Burgott. Mr. Dudley is Cell Dies of Pneumonia Mr. Dudley Russell, the father of Anderson Russell, the undertaker, departed this life May 8, at 3 p. m., at Provident Hospital, having suffered only a few days of pneumonia. The funeral services took place from the undertaking parlors of Anderson Russell, 2220 Chestnut street, Friday, a. m., May 11, at 10 o'clock. His remains were interred in the family lot in Alton cemetery. He leaves to mourn his loss, a devoted wife, two daughters and five sons, and a host of friends. Facts From San Francisco, the City of Ruins. Mrs. Jennie McKay Scott, of 2228 Greenwich street, San Francisco, Cal., and a member of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. writes a thrilling and pathetic narrative of the earthquake in which she says: "I have just composed myself enough to write you a few lines, to let you know that I am spared by the help of God, while Frisco lies in ruins. There is not a large building left standing. The earthquake occurred in the morning at 5:15. I was getting my son's breakfast when suddenly the fire broke out, and it was terrible to see the people who were killed and crippled. Every one, rich and poor alike, are kept up by the government, everyone lines up to receive his ration, and people are compelled to camp on lots and on the commons. We have slept out, but are able to stay in our house now as it was not damaged very much, still we have no water or lights. Every day there are from two to three shocks. There is not a Colored church left standing, all having been burned, and all the Colored people down town are homeless. Had it been possible for you to have seen how the earth opened and threw the car tracks across the street, you would wonder why we were not all swallowed up. The earth rocked like a cradle and we thought Judgment Day had come. The city has the appearance of a deserted grave yard. Do you want a steady income of $2 to $5 each day?

Mr. Heart, of 4000 Papin street, has a saloon, barbershop and is also a musician, yet for some cause he wants to say he is one of the smallest fish in the pan. What think you of him? Mrs. Beasley, of 4321½ Cozzens avenue, met with a serious accident on the street cars. She has been confined to her bed for several days. The Palladium wishes for her a speedy recovery. Mr. O. H.

A drug store on Goode avenue, the customers of which are two-thirds colored people, and who really keep up the drug store, refuses to sell soda to colored ladies and gentlemen. This should not be, still I am glad of it. If the Negroes of that portion of the city have no more respect than to spend their money with such Negro-haters, we do not sympathize with them. Where the Negro is not respected by white men or women, they should not put one cent in their hands. Do without or go to some place where you are respected. Death Claims the Beloved Child. Last Tuesday, death entered the house at 624 South Garrison avenue, and carried away the sweet and lovely, 8 months old child of Mr. and Mrs. Nebbit. Both parents are deeply downcast, for it was the center of attraction in that home. Yet God in His wisdom knows what is best for all. Sometimes there is a possibility of us idolizing those that God gives us, and he removes the same for our good. 2313 Market Street The Progressive Laundry is doing a good business, and Colored girls are learning under experienced persons.

The board of managers of the St. Louis Colored Orphans' Home announces to the public the celebration of their fifth anniversary of Orphans' day, Sunday, May 20, at 2 p. m. The free-will offering on that day from the churches, Sunday school, all benevolent orders, male and female, and from everyone charitably inclined, has been one of the methods of raising money to help reduce the debt on the home. There is only $2,000 remaining unpaid, and we hope to raise that this year, and call on everyone to assist. If any club or organization has failed to receive a notice, we earnestly beg them to consider themselves among those invited, as we have made strenuous efforts to reach all organizations, but may not have succeeded in so doing. We will present as a souvenir a handsomely-framed picture of the home—16x20—to any church and organization which, together with their various auxiliaries counted in, will give the largest donation on that day. We will also give a large cabinet picture of the home to any benevolent order, club or individual giving the sum of $5. All organizations will place their offering in an envelope with their name and amount plainly written on it. The needs of the home are many, and they can only be supplied by the generosity of the public. We desire to make this orphanage one worthy of the Colored citizens of St. Louis; therefore, come and do your part in making it so. He who giveth to the poor and helpless lendeth to the Lord.

The state labor bureau is busy compiling statistics regarding the shipment of products from Missouri counties last year. The results of the compilation for eight counties, Audrian, Cooper, Callaway, Cole, Adair Andrew, Bates and Benton, have been published and reveal some very interesting things. According to these statistics, the Missouri hen is maintaining her reputation for being one of the main sources of our revenue as a people. These eight counties shipped 5,832,302 pounds of dressed poultry last year, 17,741,806 pounds of live poultry, 6,963,862 dozens of eggs last year. The eight counties alone shipped 24 times as many eggs as there are people in the state, or 7,262,957 more eggs than there are people in the United States. In addition to such large quantities of poultry and eggs, these eight counties shipped 84,999 pounds of feathers during the year. Missourian for Supreme Bench. Missourian for Supreme Bench. A correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat suggests that the president come to Missouri for a successor to Mr. Justice Brown, who is soon to retire from the supreme bench of the United States. This certainly would be an honor worthy bestowed. Forty-four different men have been appointed to the supreme bench in the history of the country, but none of them came from Missouri, though the state admittedly has some of the ablest lawyers in the country. The president could not do better than to recognize this state in filling this position, thus showing some evidence of his appreciation of the great compliment paid him by Missourians at the polls." St. Louisans Buy Water Company. Declining Negro Population. Declining Negro Population. The negro population of Missouri is decreasing. It is less in proportion to the white population than it has been at any previous time in the history of the state. Less than 5 per cent of the total population of Missouri are of negro blood. Not one person in 20 is of negro descent. There are more negroes in Topeka, capital of Kansas, than in any Missouri city. 'While in Missouri the negro population is decreasing, it is increasing in Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. Bates County Canal Work. The Bates county court has let the contract for the proposed drainage canal in the south part of the county and all of its laterals to Timothy Toohey & Co., of Fort Wayne, Ind. for $407,596.64. Of this amount the highways and railroads are assessed $21,000, and the land owners benefited are assessed the remainder. Thousands of acres of land will be benefited, as the Marals DesCygne river, which flows clear across the county, is very crooked and frequently overflows, doing great damage to the fertile bottom land and crops. A Missouri Marshal Accused of Theft Simon Fallahe, marshal of Connells- ville, Mo., was arrested by Sheriff Graves on a warrant charging him with stealing 12 Persian rugs from a Wabash box car last November. At that time Fallahe was drayman and had a contract to move household goods from a car. In the car were rugs which Marsal Fallahe is accused of stealing and which the sheriff says he found in Fallahe's home. New Schedule for "Drunks." The new police judge of Macon laid down his rules of temperance. He fined each derelict $3 and costs and announced that on each encore of the same offense the fine would be doubled until it reached the bottom of the defendant's pocketbook, when he would be ordered to the rock pile for as many days as he owed the city dollars. Railway Station Hold-up. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway station in Boonville was robbed recently by two masked men, but they secured only $25.18. The night operator was forced to stand with hands up and face to the wall while the robbers searched for money. A Fatal Farmers' Quarrel. John A. Weaver, a farmer who lived 20 miles east of Thayer, shot and killed Riley Campbell, another farmer, in Mrytle. The shooting grew out of a quarrel over land. Weaver is under arrest. The Missouri Mule. The freaks of the Missouri mule rival those of the cyclone. A youth at Madison got in a mix up with a mule's heels and two pieces of corn-stalk were driven through his cheek like arrows. Doctor's Licenses Revoked. The state board of health revoked the licenses of Charles Palmer of Kansas City and Mary Murphy of St. Louis charged with criminal practice, and E. J. Dennis, St. Louis, charged with allowing another man to impersonate him. E. J. Boyer of Kansas City was found guilty of criminal practice and judgment suspended for a year. The same action was taken with the cases of J. E. Hymer of Pettonsburg and W. T. Todd of Forest Green, charged with using their license for the illegal sale of liquor. The case of Dr. H. C. Mc Fall of Mexico, charged with criminal practice was continued because of sickness. Dr. S. N. McAnnally of Marblehill was found guilty of using his physician's license to sell liquor and his license was revoked. To Have Their Own Building. The Independence camp Modern Woodmen of America will have a big log rolling June 7. It will be confined to Jackson county lodges. The Kansas City lodges will take part and make the affair a success. There are 12 camps in Kansas City. It is the intention to erect booths and have speakers and during the day have games and amusements. The proceeds of the rolling will go towards the building fund for the Independence camp, which was burned out last Christmas. The lodge expects to erect a three-story building, using the third story for lodge purposes. The preliminary arrangements for the gathering are now under way and in the hands of a local committee. A Missouri Raffles. A real Raffles came to Princeton the other day. After robbing one doctor's office and safe of $75 he forced an entrance into the office of another doctor. There he awakened a Mr. Brown, who sleeps in the office. The burglar chatted pleasantly with Mr. Brown and inquired for the doctor. "Was the door unlocked when you came in?" asked the office guardian. The burglar said it was. Having learned where the doctor was he departed, ostensibly in search of him. Then the other man learned that the door had been forced and an entrance to the safe almost effected. Commissions for M. S. U. Cadets. Gov. Folk, at the request of Adjt Gen. DeArmond, commissioned the following cadets at the state university at Columbia: E. F. Robinson and E Bonnot, majors; B. H. Ozment, F. P Gaunt, A. J. McKenzie, M. E. Brown F. J.

Monilaw was chosen instructor of athletics and coach of athletic teams in the university.Dr. Monilaw has been for several yinengaged at Drake university as coach of athletic teams. He has been most successful in track work and is recognized as one of the best track coaches in the country. Killed Her Benefactor. Mrs. Ruth Czarniecko is locked up at St. Joseph on a charge of murder. She recently threw Mrs. Serena Lang, an aged woman, down a flight of stairs, fracturing her skull. Mrs Lang died from her injuries. She had previously befriended the woman who assailed her and had not offered any offense, when she was assaulted. The Czarniecko woman was under the influence of liquor at the time. Gov. Folk in Kentucky. Gov. Folk in Kentucky. Gov. Folk spoke before the Southern Educational conference at Lexington Ky., recently. the governor advocated an adoption by more southern states of the compulsory education law. He disapproved of the wasting of too much of the nation's strength on higher education, expressing the belief that more good would come from a stronger effort to educate more people along ordinary lines. Gain in Insurance Fees. The fees and taxes received by the state insurance department for April were $2,505.20, as against $2,083.70 for the corresponding month last year showing an increase of $421.50. For the first four months of the present year the fees of the department amounted to $45,353.13, and for a like period last year they were $41,125.15 an increase of $4,227.98. Killed on the Wabash Tracks.

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, Freach, 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 daily 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. ```markdown ``` Notice the thick rubber tread "A" and puncture strips "B" and "D," also rim strip "H" to prevent rim cutting.

V. 1. "They." Jesus and the Twelve. "The other side." Across the Sea of Galilee from Capernaum; hence toward its southeast extremity. V. 2. "Out of the tombs." Which were not far from the shore. "A man." Matthew mentions two demoniacs. We may presume that the one Mark tells of was so peculiarly fierce that the other was scarcely considered, though we have no doubt Jesus healed him also. "An unclean spirit." One thus afflicted was prone to haunt places and follow practices regarded by Jews as ceremonially unclean. V. 3. "Had his dwelling among the tombs." Natural and artificial caves, often very large, are found in this region. V. 4. "Bound with fetters." Chains fastening the feet. Matthew tells us that people were afraid to pass that way, because of this fierce man. "Plucked asunder." Like many another frenzied person, he seemed to have superhuman strength. "Broken in pieces." Or torn asunder, if they were of rope. V. 5. "Night and day . . . mountains and tombs." Roaming the hillsides or hiding among the tombs. "Crying and cutting himself." He was in misery, and gave vent probably to fierce shrieks. He also had a propensity to injure himself. The devil is a hard paymaster (Rom. 6:23). V. 6. "Saw . . . afar off." He must have discerned him when he was yet out at sea. "Worshipped Him." Fell prostrate before Jesus, as in worship. V. 7. "Cried with a loud voice." An inarticulate shriek. "What have I?" etc. Literally. "What is there to me and thee." That is, "What have we in common?" "Son of the most high God." A title for Jesus that was used by Gentiles rather than Jews." Torment me not." Trench says: "The true devilish spirit counts it a torment not to be suffered to torment others." V. 8. "He said." Rather, "was saying." Already, by word or manner, Jesus had indicated his purpose to release the demonized man. V. 9. "What is thy name?" It is said nothing goes farther toward bringing a frenzied person to composure than getting him to tell his name. A division of the Roman. A consisting nominally of 6,000 soldiers, was called a legion. Here the term merely means many. V. 10. "Out of the country." Luke says "into the deep," or "the abyss,"—that is, to Gehenna, the place of evil spirits. V. 11. "A great herd of swine." The region was largely inhabited by Gentiles, or by religiously careless Jews, since strict Jews deemed swine unclean, and would have nothing to do with the animal save under direct necessity (Luke 15:15). V. 13. "Jesus gave them leave." Demons can do nothing among men save as permitted by God; and this assures us that he purposes to overrule their work for our good, and will enable us to escape being harmed by them (1 Cor. 10:13). "The herd ran (rushed) . . . into the sea." The freazed animals rushed down the steep bank. Thus the demons were outwitted, and we may presume could only return to their own place. V. 14. "They fled." The keepers were dismayed, perhaps feared for their own lives, and hurried homeward, spreading the news of the event in the country and the city as they went. "They." Many of those who heard the story of the swinehouses. Matthew says "the whole city." V. 15. "See him." Better in Rev. Ver., "Behold," as the original means to look earnestly and intently. Doubtless many of them had known this man in the past only to fear him. "Sitting clothed, in his right mind." Whereas before he had been ever on the move, naked and demented. "Were afraid." They felt an awe of both the man and his Healer. V. 16. "They that saw it." The swinehdrs, who returned with the crowd. "Told how it befell." They fully reported both parts of the story; but alas, the loss of the pigs impressed the people more than the rescue of the afflicted man. Practical Points V. 1. Jesus would seek and save people of every land.—John 10:16. V. 3. Many whom chains of iron cannot bind may be bound by the mightier bonds of love.—2 Cor 5:14, 15. V. 9. Evil spirits commonly go in companies. No sin stands alone.—Matt. 12:43-45. V. 15. When one is saved by Jesus he becomes in every particular a new creature.—2 Cor. 5:17. V. 17. We must take care lest, in despising Christ's messengers, we bid him depart from us.—Luke 10:16. THE WHITE PAINT OF THE WHITE HOUSE. The White House at Washington, which has been the "Kings Palace" of the American People since it was first occupied by President Madison in 1809, has recently undergone a thorough course of remodelling, renovation and repair. Every American citizen is owner of an undivided eighty or eighty-five millionth part of the White House, as well as of the other Public Buildings and Monuments in the Capitol City. An item in the renovation of the remodelled White House was repainting. Every visitor to Washington knows why the White House is so called—because it is literally a "white house". The exterior paint must therefore be white. Now while the pure white surfaces and simple lines of the White House, set in the midst of green lawns and beautiful trees, produce a very satisfying effect of dignified simplicity, white paint from a practical point of view, is about the most unsatisfactory kind of paint that could have been selected by the original designers. First, because any white paint is easily discolored by smoke and dust, and second, because ordinary white paint itself gradually turns gray or brownish yellow from exposure. But white the White House is and white it must remain or it would no longer be the "White House". So the renovators, making the best of a discouraging situation, sought for the best kind of white paint procurable. The average citizen if asked to guess what kind of paint they finally decided on would probably answer "white lead and oil," but he would guess wrongly. The paint selected as the best obtainable was a ready mixed paint, such as can be bought in any well furnished village store, such as is used by more than half of the eighty or eighty-five million owners of the White House on their own homes. That one brand of mixed paint was used instead of another is a mere accidental detail—there are fifty or a hundred brands on the market that might have been selected in other circumstances, and in fact, a different brand was used in painting the Capitol. Every property owner, therefore, who paints his house with a high grade ready-mixed paint is following the example set by the Government Authorities at Washington, who used ready-mixed paint, because they could find nothing else as good. MISQUOTED PHRASES. Do you know that the word "dude" comes from the English word "duds," which means clothes? Hence, a dude is one very fond of clothes. Do you know that the expression "Sure as eggs is eggs," was never meant to be as ungrammatical as it sounds? The original was sure as X is X. Do you know why foolscap paper is so called? When Charles I was king of England, only certain people were allowed to manufacture paper, and it all had to bear the royal arms. Parliament made sport of the law, and ordered a fool's cap and bells to be used instead. Do you know the origin of the phrase "Up Salt River?" Before steam, navigation along the Ohio was carried on by flatboats, which were rowed up stream. This was particularly hard work, especially up Salt river, a dangerous, crooked branch of the Ohio river in Kentucky. When slaves were to be punished, this was a common method employed by their owners. Hence, at election times, people refer to sending the defeated candidates "Up Salt River" as a penalty. FREAKS OF FORTUNE. Ulysses Grant would not have been a military man had it not been that his rival for a West Point cadetship had been found to have six toes on each foot instead of five. Oliver Cromwell was once on board a ship bound for America, but he was taken back by a constable, and the result was that he became one of the greatest men England ever knew. Abraham Lincoln, after being a member of congress, desired to secure a clerkship in Washington, but he was defeated by Justin Butterfield. He was disappointed, but had he not been defeated he would have spent his life in obscurity instead of becoming president of the United States. REPAIRING BRAIN A Certain Way by Food. every minister, lawyer, journalist, physician, author or business man is forced under pressure of modern conditions to the active and sometimes overactive use of the brain. Analysis of the excreta thrown out by the pores shows that brain work breaks down the phosphate of potash, separating it from its heavier companion, albumen, and plain common sense teaches that this elemental principle must be introduced into the body anew each day, if we would replace the loss and rebuild the brain tissue. We know that the phosphate of potash, as presented in certain field grains, has an affinity for albumen and that is the only way gray matter in the brain can be built. It will not answer to take the crude phosphate of potash of the drug shop, for nature rejects it. The elemental mineral must be presented through food directly from nature's laboratory. These facts have been made use of in the manufacture of Grape-Nuts, and any brain worker can prove the value of the proper selection of food by making free use of Grape-Nuts for ten days or two weeks.

She leaves a mother and husband and six children and two brothers to mourn her loss. We must congratulate the police and detectives for cleaning the several streets from loafers, rounders and the dirty-dozen. Still they have found a new corner, on Jefferson and Lawton avenues. They should be kept on the move and not allowed to stand on the corner blocking the streets and raising their hats to girls and women that they know nothing about. Webster Groves Notes. The Webster Groves Base Ball League team has made quite a showing this season, by not having a single defeat. They have played with all the surrounding teams but have always carried off the honors. Mr. Chas. Bates, the captain deserves much credit. Mrs. A. Brown, the ex-teacher of the Douglass school, visited the Baptist Sunday school last Sunday. Every one was delighted to see her. Messrs.

"Olin the Tailor, everybody knows, Makes the best up-to-date and best fitting clothes To my store to come, don't fail, And, in return, if necessary, I'll go your bail." OLIN, The Tailor, 1244 Franklin Ave. On the 13th of February last we published an account of the Buffaloes' ball, and the Palladium sold like hot cakes. The one-legged Negro man received ten copies of the Palladium and has never made any returns for them. He now sells the Globe, Post-Dispatch and Republic. COFFIN A Negro boy got 25 copies of the Palladium from our secretary. He lives at 2645 Pine street. His name is Sledge. He has never reported for them. 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!

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. W. C. GORDON'S NEW ESTABLISHMENT. An establishment most worthy of praise and one that is a credit to the proprietor, is the undertaking establishment of W. C. Gordon, now located at 2651 Morgan street, but formerly of 2218 Morgan street. Although we have had cause to praise Mr. Gordon in the past, we have still a greater one now, as we pass from room to room, and look with astonishment at the wonderful sights which meet our gaze. He has been located at his present place of business five weeks last Wednesday, and during this short time about three thousand people have visited the building and feasted for a time upon the grandeur of the place. Again your visit is made enjoyable by the friendliness and courtesy shown you by your escort on your tour through this palace. IS IN THE Hair Dressing Business PURE HAIR BRAIDS MADE TO ORDER. The entire building is composed of 23 rooms, namely: Trimming room, morgue, receiving room, chapel, display parlors, carriage room, both a private and public office, and various other rooms. On entering the building you are first shown the private office of Mr. Gordon, which has every possible convenience that an office could require. In the rear of the offices is the stable and carriage room. Ordinarily to hear the words stable and carriage room, they would have little or no meaning to us, but after visiting the said rooms of this establishment it is evident even to the casual observer that they carry with them their meaning, to the lover of beautiful conveyances and fine horses. The morgue, too, has its points of interest, one of which is the operating table, one of the most interesting of its kind. It can be lowered or raised to suit the convenience of the party working. The next room in routine is the trimming room. The name itself is suggestive to its use. This room leads to the receiving room, where the corpse is taken preparatory to going into the chapel. The chapel is a large room, which is noted for its seating capacity, and the beauty of its walls. It seats about 200 --- M. B. RIP SAW COLUMN OF THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM Common Negroes. News reached us, to the effect that several Negroes who are members of the Dead Beat Society, say they do not care. This, we knew, before we put them on the mule, as we had used every honorable means, and exhausted our persuasive power to get them to pay up, and they would not. It was then that we knew they had lost all honor and pride as men and women, and had fallen almost to the level of the brutes of the forest. Paper Thieves. persons comfortably. The walls are of a beautiful green color with a pink border, which adds to its beauty. The display parlor are perhaps the most interesting, for here we see the different styles of caskets, for young and old, ranging in prices from $190 to $500. These rooms of which I have spoken with the exception of the offices and carriage room are found in the remodeled part of the building. This does not, however, include all the rooms, for let us remember that the living must be provided for as well as the dead. The second floor of the new portion of the building is furnished and fitted up with all conveniences. Here we find the parlor, dining room, kitchen, sleeping apartments and bath, all of which, I could write of for hours, but should I give vent to this feeling, it would not be so interesting when you make your tour, and see for yourself as others have done. The Palladium assures you that you will be treated royally, and it will be a visit that you will never regret. This is only a very brief description of the building. DEAD BEATS.

MONEY WILL BE A GODSEN It Will Put the People on Their Fect and Materially Help the Banks In the Transaction San Francisco, May 10—Financial interest, Wednesday, centered in the announcement made by the insurance companies that in the immediate future they would pay losses of the fire sufferers. It is believed that most of the money will be put into general circulation, and when it is distributed will relieve the people of San Francisco as no other means could. Welcome News. This news was welcome, not only to the policy holder, but also to the banks, that have been doing their best for the public with the resources at their immediate command, necessarily limited. The announcement was official to the extent that it was given to the committee of the citizens general committee and duly reported at the general committee's daily meeting. The announcement was received with aplause, news from the insurance interests having been awaited with much anxiety. Nothing Could Do More Good. "What will be the effect of the payment of this insurance money?" was asked Mr. James D. Phelan, chairman of the finance committee. "Nothing could do more good," he replied. "When the money is paid out to the people it will put them on their feet. It will bring about an early resumption of normal conditions. The people want money to buy what they need, and the payment of these many millions of dollars will greatly assist the banks. What is more, the circulation of money will be of great value to the banking interests." Salvage Operations May Proceed. With their announcement that the losses will soon be paid, the insurance interests has also made the concession that salvage operations on property swept by the flames may be proceeded with. Policy holders may save anything they can find without fear of risking the loss of their claims for insurance. Wages For Public Employment. San Francisco, May 10.—At the meeting of the reconstruction committee, Wednesday, a resolution was adopted declaring that the wages for public and private employment at ordinary and unskilled labor should be $2.50 for nine hours. The resolution was adopted. This rate has been fixed by the Building Trades Council. Suggestion to Employers. "Employers, pay your men something at least daily, so that they may be able to pay for their meals." is the request made by Gen. Greely in asking the co-operation of the business men of the city in restoring normal conditions. "We are establishing 15-cent kitchens all over the city," said Gen. Greely "and if the men employed could have their wages promptly paid it will greatly assist in the work of relief. It will put money in circulation and help the entire business community to get started again. We have cases where application is made for relief by men who are at work. They say they would much prefer to buy their meals but they are not being paid. Wednesday's applications for relief, however showed a decrease of 10,000." Will Treat Policyholders Fairly. San Francisco, May 10.—An understanding as to what the insurance companies propose to do has been obtained by the sub-committee of the committee in instance at a meeting with a committee from the fire underwriters' adjustment bureau. The statement there made was in brief that the insurance companies would treat policy holders fairly; that no attempts would be made to take advantage of mere quibbles or technicalities; that loss on buildings destroyed by fire would be paid as soon as adjusted, and that the adjustment of losses would proceed as rapidly as possible. The insurance in the burned district is estimated by the underwriters at $200,000,000. CANADIAN PACIFIC HOLDUF Imperial Limited Halted, and Mail Car Rifled of Registered Letters. Vancouver, B.

THE STANDARD OIL INQUIRY INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION SEEKS LIGHT. Testimony Relating to the Company's Business Methods Being Taken in Chicago. Chicago, May 11.—The inquiry by the government, through the interstate commerce commission, into the relations between the Standard Oil Co. and the railroads of the country began here Thursday. Two of the points on which it is said the investigation will try to throw light are the laying of the pipe lines of the Standard Oil Co. along the railroads' right-of-way and the purchase of Galena oil by the railroads for headlight and signal purposes. The first witness was E. M. Willhoit, of Topeka, Kas., now an independent oil operator, but ten years ago an agent of the Standard Oil Co. He testified that while in the employ of the Standard Oil Co. he had, in following out the instructions of his superior officers, bribed clerks in the offices of railroads and employees of independent oil concerns in order to obtain information of the details of the business done by the rivals of the Standard Oil Co. He declared that agents of the Standard Oil Co. are held personally responsible for all oil sold in their territory by independent companies, and that drivers of tank wagons are expected to keep up their stock by selling 205 to 208 gallons from a wagon load of 200 gallons. He said that the actual tests of the products of the Standard Oil Co., to determine the quality, are carefully guarded, and that when it was found necessary to cut the price to meet the figure of a competitor, a cheaper quality of oil was substituted and guaranteed to be of a higher grade than it really was. KILLED HIS BROTHER AND DEFIED ARREST KILLED HIS BROTHER AND DEFIED ARREST Montezuma, Ind., May 11.—Stephen Sylvester, believed to be insane, went to the home of his brother, W. H. Sylvester, president of the First national bank of Montezuma, at noon Thursday, and shot the latter to death, retreating to his own home, pursued by a crowd of neighbors, and barricaded himself in a shed he had recently built. A crowd surrounded the place, keeping, however, at a respectful distance, as the murderer was known to be heavily armed. Meanwhile Sheriff Carter, at Rockville', had been notified by telephone, and arrived duri the afternoon, accompanied by Marshal Boyd of Rockville, after a hard drive across country. The sheriff at once called upon Sylvester to surrender, and after being assured of protection gave himself up, the officers starting with him immediately for Rockville. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WILL DELIVER ADDRESS Washington, May 11.—President Roosevelt will attend the formal opening of the Jamestown exposition next year and will deliver an address on that occasion. The invitation was extended to the president, Thursday, by a committee headed by Harry St. George Tucker, president of the exposition company. The president accepted the invitation, saying that he had had the deepest interest in the exposition since the inception of the project. The opening of the exposition will take place on April 26, 1907, the anniversary of the first landing of the English at Cape Henry. FLORIDA WATER PROVES DEADLY TO INDIANS Rosethorn, Saskatchewan, May 11.—Two more Indians are dead and six are in a serious condition on the Duck Lake Indian reservation as the result of drinking Florida water, and which resulted in three deaths Wednesday. The wildest excitement prevails. A government inspector will search the Indian shacks and Duck Lake stores for the fluid and confiscate all found. The affair will probably develop into a government investigation, there being no doubt that the fluid was adulterated. All Their Records Were Lost. San Francisco, May 11.—The fireman's Fund Insurance Co. has discovered that the vault containing all the records of its insurance business in San Francisco was destroyed. The falling of an immense steel girder, which broke off a corner of the vault, gave the fire easy access to the records, including all policies, maps, etc. President Dutton says a new company, to be known as the Fireman's Fund Insurance corporation, is to be formed. The new corporation is to have $1,000,000 capital and $1,000,060 surplus. Canada Seizes American Vessels. North Sydney, C.

San Francisco, May 11.—Charges that the Western Union and Postal telegraph companies accepted thousands of telegraphs which were then transmitted through the mails are being investigated by the grand jury. RUSSIAN DOUMA FORMALLY OPENED SCENE OF MAGNIFICENT POMP AND CEREMONY. THE EMPEROR'S GREETING The Members Not Satisfied With the Emperor's Failure to So Much as Mention Amnesty in St. Petersburg, May 11. -Without a single hitch, and with only a minor incident to mar the memorable day, the Russian parliament was inaugurated Thursday. The weather was superb, and the stage management of the impressive ceremony at the Winter palace, where Emperor Nicholas, surrounded by courtiers and all the pomp and panoply of power, delivered the speech from the throne to the members of the two houses, was perfect. The message, in reality, was less a throne speech than a greeting, and required only three minutes for its delivery. Emperor Nicholas read slowly. The admirable and even official tone of the sovereign renewing his pledges and asking the co-operation of parliament for the regeneration of the country was only negatively satisfactory. Courtiers Led the Cheering. Courtiers and spectators other than members of the national parliament led the cheering, but the members were ominously silent, expressing neither approval nor disapproval. What rankled most was the failure of the emperor to mention amnesty, and later, when the members assembled in the Tauride palace, away from the spell of the throne room, many of them were with difficulty restrained from precipitating matters by offering resolutions on the subject. The constitutional democratic leaders, however, dominated everything, were anxious not to weaken the reply which the lower house will prepare to the speech from the throne, in which issues with the crown will be joined, and succeeded in staying off premature action. At the Tauride Palace. The scene around the Tauride palace was in striking contrast with that at the Winter palace. Each, indeed, was typical and told an eloquent story. At the Tauride palace tens of thousands of people were acclaiming their representatives; at the Winter palace legions of military and courtiers by the hundreds cheered for the emperor. Nevertheless the proceedings of the lower house were not spectacular; in fact, they were almost tame in comparison with those at the Winter palace. The only genuine flashes of fire which showed the real temper of the members of the house were when Prof. Mourtomtsseff, who had been elected president of the lower house, invited government officials and clerks to leave the hall, and when Ivan Petrunkevitch, in a few eloquent words from the rostrum, told the auditors that the first thought of the parliament should be for those who had suffered in the cause of liberty who now filled the prisons and whose arms were stretched out in hope and confidence to the people's representatives. More enthusiastic cheering than that which greeted this appeal never was heard in a political convention in the United States. Constitution and amnesty were the keynotes of President Mourtomtsseff's speech. The Parliament's President. St. Petersburg, May 11—Sergel Andrelevich Mourontseff, whom the constitutional democratic members of the lower house of the national parliament, by a sudden change of plan, put forward as their candidate for the presidency, is a member of a noble family of St. Petersburg. He was born in 1850 and educated in the law department of Moscow university. In 1874 he won a fellowship in the university and was rapidly promoted to a full professorship. Owing to his political authority, he was soon in hot water and forced to leave the university and abandon his educational career. He began the practice of law and the editing of the Legal Messenger, but in 1892 the censor prohibited the paper. Prof. Mourromitseff was a member of the famous delegation which presented the address of the zemstvoists to the emperor after the inauguration of the Witte ministry. Cardinals Asked to Explain. Rome, May 11.—As a sequel to the presence of four cardinals at a dinner given by Ambassador White in honor of Archbishop Ireland, April 25, Cardinal Oreglia, dean of the sacred college, who by virtue of his rank is entitled to direct matters of ceremony among his brother cardinals, has written a letter to each of the four cardinals, Vincenze Vanutelli, Satolli, Mathieu and Martinelli, asking them for an explanation of their presence at a function given by a diplomat, accredited to the quinnal. Explosion In Powder Mill. Wilmington, Del., May 11.—By a premature explosion of powder in the rolling mill at Hadley's yards of the Dupont Powder Co. here Thursday. Wm. C.

L. Ehlers, made an assignment Thursday for the benefit of its creditors. Liabilities are said to be about $40,000. GARFIELD'S REPORT SENT TO CONGRESS PRESIDENT ACCOMPANIES IT WITH SPECIAL MESSAGE. FREIGHT RATES AND OIL. Statement Made That the Department of Justice Will Take Up the Question of Institut- ing Prosecutions. Washington, D. C. — President Roosevelt transmitted to congress Friday the report of James R. Garfield, commissioner of corporations, giving the results of his investigation of the subject of transportation and freight rates in connection with the oil industry. In his message the president expresses the view that the report is of capital importance, because of the effort now being made to secure such enlargement of the powers of the interstate commerce commission as will confer upon the commission power in some measure adequate to meet the clearly-demonstrated needs of the situation. The facts set forth in the report, he declares, are for the most part not disputed. That the Standard Oil Co. has benefited enormously up almost to the present moment by secret rates, many of which were clearly unlawful, the president says the report clearly shows, the benefit thereby secured amounting to at least three-quarters of a million a year. The statement is added that the department of justice will take up the question of instituting prosecutions in at least certain of the cases, and the hope is expressed that congress will enact into law the bill of Senator Knox to correct the interpretation of the immunity provision rendered in Judge Humphrey's decision. He favors, as an element of competition, putting alcohol used in the arts on the free list, and of keeping the fee to oil and coal lands of the Indian tribes or on the public domain in the government, the lands to be leased only on such terms and for such periods as will enable the government to entirely control them. Garfield's Report. Washington, May 5.—In summarizing his report Commissioner Garfield speaks of his personal visit to the oil fields, and of the great mass of data obtained by him either personally or through agents of the bureau of corporations. The preliminary study of this was transportation, which enters so largely into the cost of the finished product, and hence a most important factor in competition. Taking up the subject of the output of refined oil, Mr. Garfield finds that it amounts to about 26,000,000 barrels annually, of which the Standard Oil Co., directly and indirectly, controls about 23,000,000, and approximately the same proportion of the other finished products of petroleum. In 1904 these secret rates saved to the Standard Oil Co. three-quarters of a million dollars, representing the difference between the open rates and the rates actually paid. "These discriminations," he says, "have been so long continued, so secret, so ingeniously applied to new conditions of trade, and so large in amount as to make it certain that they were due to concerted action by the Standard and the railroads. He says further that the Standard Oil Co. is receiving unjust discriminations in the matter of open rates, the published rates from the leading Standard shipping points being relatively much lower than rates from the shipping points of its competitors. The report concludes as follows: Nevertheless, the widespread discriminations in open rates still in force leave the investigators with a serious advantage. The investigation has thus touched state shipments from distributing centers, particularly in less than 10% of the shipments, to suggest the probability of discriminations on such shipments which, taken in connection with through traffic, may result in a higher rate of fraud. I have cited these particular instances to show the various methods by which discriminations are obtained, and to call for more stringent regulations. These legal are mere devices to obtain exactly the same result as would be obtained by rebates paid on interstate business. Any other means to obtain discriminations or interstate, tends to give control of markets to the preferred shipper, and thereby prohibits a special device for obtaining discrimination, and permits the same result to be accomplished in a different way to the legislation is to that extent a sham. This investigation has shown very clearly one glaring defect in the interstate commerce and publishing tariffs. Although a tariff or a rate has been filed with the commission in case of a violation of the terms of the law, but the favorable direction of its existence. Tariffs may be made and rates may be combined in such manner that the applicable prohibition on the ordinary shipment to and from them. As long as the state rates are not required, tariffs may such rates in combination with interstate rates, all manner of devices to evade the state law are possible. Tariffs rates used in interstate shipments should be filed with the interstate commerce commission, and the direction of simplifying tariffs and the methods of posting and filing them.

Are You Tired, Nervous and Sleepless? Nervousness and sleeplessness are usually due to the fact that the nerves are not fed on properly nourishing blood; they are starved blood; Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes blood, blood, and thereby the nerves are properly nourished and all the organs of the body are run as smoothly as machinery which runs in oil. In this way you clean, strong and strenuous—you are toned up and invigorated, and you are good for a whole lot of the work you work. The strength and incuneus in vitality and health are lasting. The trouble with most tonics and medicines which have a large, booming sale for a short time, is that they are largely composed of alcohol holding the drugs in solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red blood orpuscles, and the system. One may feel enlarged and better for the time being, yet in the end weakened and with vitality decreased. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery contains no alcohol. Every bottle of it bears its own wrapper the Badge of Honesty, in all of its forms. It is for the drugist to offer: you something he claims is "just as good" is to insult your intelligence. Every ingredient entering into the world-famed "Golden Medical Discovery" has the unanimous approval and endorsement of the leading medical professionals. No other medicine sold through druggists for like purposes has any such endorsement. The "Golden Medical Discovery" not only produces all the good effects to be obtained from the use of Golden Seal root, but also to be used for brow-tubes, as in dyspepsia, biliosus, constipation, ulceration of stomach and bowels and kindred ailments, but the Golden Seal root used in its compounding is greatly enhanced in its curative action by other ingredients such as Stone root, Black Cherrybark, Bloodroot, Manuka oil, chemically pure triple-refined glycerine.

Spread Rapidly Over Body—Limbs and Arms Had to Be Bandaged— Marvelous Cure by Cuticura. "My son, who is now twenty-two years of age, when he was four months old began to have eczema on his face, spreading quite rapidly until he was nearly covered. We had all the doctors around us, and some from larger places, but no one helped him a particle. The eczema was something terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst case they ever saw, times that I had to cover him but his feet. I had to bandage his limbs and arms; his scalp was just dreadful. A friend teased me to try Cuticura, and I began to use all three of the Cuticura Remedies.

Next, work all round the collar like the last two rows of the jacket. A Rough Skin. Hard water and cheap soap are sure to injure the complexion, and this is, no doubt, what caused your skin to become so dry and rough. First of all, care must be taken in selecting the soap. Personally, I prefer a paste soap or the common, white castle, as these two articles are mild and yet cleansing. Then you should also have a good skin food and a powder which will cling to the skin and thus protect it. Each night wash with warm water and the soap. Then, after rinsing, and while the skin is still warm, apply a tissue food, rubbing it well into the deeper tissues with the finger tips. In the morning wash with clear, cold water, and before going out of doors again apply a little of the cream, remove all of the oil with a bit of cotton, and dust on the powder. Where the water is hard it may be softened by using a lotion made from four ounces of alcohol, one ounce of ammonia and one dram of oil of lavender. One teaspoonful to a large basin of water is sufficient. Coldslaw Take the portion of cabbage which has not been used for the soup, shave it into fine slips, put it into a deep dish and pour over a dressing made in the following manner: Beat up two eggs, add one gill of vinegar and water mixed, place it over the fire; when it begins to thicken, stir in a piece of butter the size of a small walnut, a little salt and a teaspoonful of sugar; when cold, pour it over the cabbage and stir it together. Before sending to table spritake with a little black pepper. AT AN AFTERNOON TEA. For One Uncertain About the Etiquette of Such an Occasion—Few Pointers Given. There are many who do not quite understand the etiquette necessary in attending either a reception or an afternoon tea and wish some sort of definite instruction in the matter. In the first place, as far as the costume is concerned, any handsome street dress is right; a velvet or something equally dressy. If this be in the form of skirt and jacket with furs in winter, neither coat nor furs need be removed, although the coat may be thrown open to show a pretty waist. Where it is a gown with an extra wrap, remove this, especially if the occasion is formal. Gloves and veil are never removed, and a small fur neckpiece or a handsome feather boa need not be left off. Upon entering it is the proper thing to place cards in the receptacle provided; a married lady leaves one of her own and one of her husband's for each receiving lady, and one of her husband's for the husband of the hostess. Then it is proper to seek the hostess and those who may be receiving, greeting them all before moving on to the room where refreshments are served. No stated time is set for remaining; if friends and acquaintances are found to chat with, an hour may be spent; or, if preferred, only a greeting may be exchanged with the receiving party and one may leave at once. It is not obligatory to take any refreshments, although considered better form to make a pretense, if nothing is cared for. When leaving, unless there is a great crush of people entering, it is the more correct to bid the hostess good-by; but if the crowd is very great this may be omitted; not otherwise, and every effort should be made to make a fare well to the receiving party. An afternoon tea and a reception are very similar; the latter rather more formal, but the same rules hold for both. It has been considered obligatory that a call be made within a fortnight after a reception, but at the present none is demanded, if a card is left on the day. When unable to attend regrets should be mailed in time to reach the hostess at the time of the affair. EMBROIDERY DESIGN. The One Illustrated Is Suitable for Doilies and Table Covers and Other Linen Articles. This is a pretty design to be worked on fine linen for doilies, table covers, etc. A border of drawn threads is made about two and one-half inches from the edge, then beyond this the design of open holes and cording- FOR BORDER AND CORNER. stitch is worked. The scalloped border is worked over in buttonhole stitch, which should be padded to make it stand up well. The superfluous edges of material must be cut away with a pair of sharp scissors. The design may be worked on the material by means of blue 'tracing cloth. THE HOME DOCTOR. To soothe the pain of a bruised finger hold the damaged finger in hot water. It will relieve the pain more quickly than any other remedy. Cure for Warts.—To cure warts on the hands, rub a little castor oil on them after washing the hands. A little should also be put on at night. After a few applications, the warts will begin to dry up. Food for Nervous People.—As a rule, salt meat is not adapted to the requirements of nervous people, as nutritious juices go into the brine to a great extent. Fish of all kinds is good for them. Raw eggs, contrary to the common opinion, are not as digestible as those that have been well cooked. Good broad, sweet butter and lean meat are the best food for the nerves. People troubled with insomnia and nervous starting from sleep and sensations of falling can often be cured by limiting themselves to a diet of milk alone for a time. An adult should take a pint at a meal, and take four meals a day. People with weakened nerves require frequently a larger quantity of water than those whose nerves and brains are strong. It aids the digestion of these by making it soluble, and seems to have a direct tonic effect.—Good Literature. Corset Covers. The latest thing in corset covers are those made of dainty blue or pink dimity. They are trimmed with Valeeniennes lace and insertion and are very pretty when worn under a sheer blouse embroidered in the eyelet work. This allows the color to show through with charming effect. It is well to wash a sample of the blue or pink material before making your corset covers, for sometimes these delicate shades are not fast colors, also when laundered do not have them dried in the sun.

Butler Ex-Senator M C. Butler. Dyspepsia Is Often Caused By Catarrh of the Stomach—Peruna Relieves Catarrh of the Stomach and Is Therefore a Remedy For Dyspepsia. Hon. M. C Butler, Ex-U. S. Senator from South Carolina for two terms, in a letter from Washington, D. C., writes to the Peruna Medicine Co., as follows: "I can recommend Peruna for dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine for a short period and I feel very much relieved. It is indeed a wonderful medicine, besides a good tonic." CATARRH of the stomach is the correct name for most cases of dyspepsia. In order to cure catarrh of the stomach the catarrh must be eradicated. Only an internal catarrh remedy, such as Peruna, is available. Peruna exactly meets the indications. Revised Formula. "For a number of years requests have come to me from a multitude of grateful friends, urging that Peruna be given a slight laxative quality. I have been experimenting with a laxative addition for quite a length of time, and now feel gratified to announce to the friends of Peruna that I have incorporated such a quality in the medicine which, in my opinion, can only enhance its well-known beneficial character.

London, with three times as big a population as New York, has only two-thirds the number of telephones—namely, 80,000. The first long-distance telephone cable in this country was that between Liverpool and Manchester. It was opened in 1880. Wireless telephony has been invented by Mr. T. Thomas Gladwell, of Newport (Mont.), who claims to have had successful results up to a distance of ten miles. The longest telephone circuit in the world is that between New York and Chicago. It is 950 miles long. The longest in Europe connects London with Marselles, these places being 650 miles apart. It is now possible to "ring up" the nearest railway station from a moving train, and to telephone, via the station, to any subscriber. An experiment was conducted successfully on the Highland railway. CONCERNING CITIES. In five years Krupp's town of Essen has increased 93 per cent.

Mrs.Emma Sawyer Unless early and correct treatment is applied the patient seldom survives when once the disease is fastened upon her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the most efficient treatment for chronic kidney troubles of women, and is the only medicine especially prepared for this purpose. When a woman is troubled with pain or weight in loins, backache, frequent, painful or scalding urination, swelling of limbs or feet, swelling under the eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the region of the kidneys or notices a sediment in the urine, she should lose no time in commencing treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it may be the means of saving her life. For proof, read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Sawyer. "I cannot express the terrible suffering I had to endure. A derangement of the female organs developed nervous prostration and a serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended me for a year, but I kept getting worse, until I was unable to do anything, and made up my mind to try Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as a last resort, and I am to-day a well woman. I cannot praise it too highly, and I tell every suffering woman about my case."—Mrs. Emma Sawyer, Conyers, Ga.

VERNON BE CONFIRMED AS REGISTRAR OF THE TREASURY? A Few Facts Not Generally Known. 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 Tecumseh 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 as 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. 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. conference, which was held in Lawrence, Kansas, 1893), 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 want 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 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. Commission expires August 25, 1902. (COPY.) Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 25, 1898. Dear Miss Emma: 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 are forever gone. Prof. Vernon 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 suspiciled 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 your lover and friend, WM. H. PECK. Address 813 Tenth St., Kansas City, Mo 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 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 lost 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, G. W.
