ST LOUIS PALLADIUM Lyons' Short Order Restaurant 2337 Market St. First Grand Colored Daylight BOAT EXCURSION Vol. XXII. No. 24. 1 The Thessalonian Baptist church was organized Sunday, April 8, 1906, and was recognized as a regular missionary Baptist church Monday evening, April 30, 1906. The new church has been attended with some little unpleasantness from its beginning to the present time. It was no less true of the early church when it was organized at Jerusalem. These people have learned that "where there is no cross there is no crown," and they have turned their faces to the future, and, like the apostle, "forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before." Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The Ladies' Auxiliary, Mrs. S. Barrett, president, had a very nice time Friday evening at their strawberry festival. They are raising money to pay the interest note. Mrs. Charles Lodge gave a very interesting and descriptive account of the San Francisco disaster Friday, the 8th, at the Auxiliary's lawn party. Barrington and Ross and Crawford and Sexton, Y. M. C.

COLE At a special called meeting of the church, Monday evening, May 14, Rev. E. Calvin Cole was called as their pastor. It is fortunate for them that they have secured the services of Dr. Cole, who has a world-wide reputation, having represented the National Baptist convention in the "World Baptist Congress" in London, England, July, 1905. While in England Dr. Cole filled the pulpit, morning and evening, in the great church known as the King's Cross, and was the guest of Rev. John Clifford, M. A., L.L. B., D. D., F. R. S., who entertained a number of the delegates, among whom was Baron Xuht na of Russia. Sumner High Vs. Y. M. C. A The Summer high school and the Y M C. A. baseball teams will play their initial game at Handlan's park, corner Grand and Lacade avenues, Wednesday May 30, Decoration day, at 2:30 p. m. Both teams are pretty evenly matched and have been practicing daily at Forest park. The game should prove a very interesting one. This is the first appearance of the Summer high school boys in baseball, and there is a great deal of enthusiasm at the school over the coming event. The usual large following is expected to be on hand. Notice. Mr. S. Connors, a member of the Jefferson club, found the badge of the treasurer of Good Samaritan council of the A. U. K. and D. of A. He knew the Palladium man was a member of that order, so he gave it into our care. The treasurer will call and get it. We thank Mr. Connor, for we did not think any good could come out of the Negro Democratic Club—however, we will think better of them here-after. EXCURSION BY THE volent Society ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, MAY 26. 1906. Dr. Cole is a man of iron will and unyielding devotion to the cause of Christ. He is not a bread-and-butter preacher, but has the courage of his convictions, and does not worship at the feet of any professional parasite for the sake of an existence. He says that his joy in the ministry is among the common people. The public are cordially invited to be present at the opening of the church, Sunday evening, 27th inst. Rev. E. Calvin Cole will preach. Does you hair split and break off? Nelson's Hair Dressing is the best remedy. INFORMATION WANTED INFORMATION WANTED CONCERNING MARY AND ELIZA BAILEY. The name Bailey was that of their master, who lived in Saline county, Mo., in 1860 or 1861. The father's name was Nathan Howard Bailey, the mother's name, Americus Bailey. These children were sold south during the year in which there was so much talk of the emancipation of the slaves. They were sold in what was termed "Down the river." Any information will be thankfully received at the Union Memorial church, or at the Palladium office, 2617 Lawton avenue. Other Negro papers will please copy. Destroyed by Fire. Maurer's meat market and grocery, at 8 and 10 South Jefferson avenue, was entirely destroyed by fire Saturday night, and the patrons were at a loss as to where they should get their goods. His place is now open to the public, where they will be accommodated as in the past. His polite clerks and other employees are a guarantee that you will be readily waited upon. Mr. Maurer, by his thrifty business qualities, has learned to know what the public wants. Don't forget the number and place—8 and 10 South Jefferson avenue. GREAT WESTERN EXCURSION. Watch the Palladium for full particulars of the Great Western club's grand steamboat excursion on Monday evening, June 11. Order R Orphanss' Home Anniversary. The fifth anniversary of the Orphan's Home, last Sunday, was a success. The programme was carried out with credit to all concerned. The officers deserve much credit and too much praise can not be rendered them. The people of St. Louis have for years given their support to this worthy cause, and as long as an itemized report is given to the public just so long will the public lend their support. Our reporter noticed many things and had a chance to examine the different departments in the home. Mrs. E. Thornton deserves much credit for the way in which she manages things. Mrs. Clark, whose husband died a few months ago, is a great help to the matron. Mrs. Price, of 2007 Papin street; Mrs. Boatright, of 1518 North Eighteenth street; Mrs. Morris, of 3227 Caroline street; Mrs. Laura Boamil, of 1118 North Twenty-third street; Mrs. Jennie Fox, of 2639 Pine street; Mrs. J.

Winston, of 711 Clarence avenue, and Miss F. Wood, of 640 Clarence avenue, were on deck and they added to the amazement of the reporter in watching Pope and Pittman and the school teacher. (Wanted a husband, address this office.) Mr. Chas. Pittman and Mr. Pope were in company with one of our teachers for more than an hour. They were the center of attraction, yet Chas. seemed to have the best hold. Look out boys we are on the alert. Miss Clendine Reece, the former skater was present. Well, all is well, that ends well. She did go to the Pythian and Douglas Rinks some times to show her art. Miss Annie Brockway, a teacher and many more of the good teachers were there, but the absence of the mushroom element—why. Because the people were there. Mrs. Robinson and her daughter, of 2718 Wash street, were present, also her daughter's husband and baby. All vied together in making things pleasant. Mrs. Tanner, the sister of Bishop Tanner, was on the grounds looking after some poor fortunate sister, whom she was begging to aid them. Mrs. Richardson, of 3004 Lawton avenue, and her lovely daughter were there, but for some cause, they did not remain long. Well, well, you know. We noticed the lovely daughter of our pastor, Rev. D. W. Cook, Miss D. Harris, of 5717 Prescott avenue, and many more of our good people. Mr. Chas. Dodge was looking as if he did not own his clothes, and yet he pays taxes on more property than any other Colored man in St. Louis. Mrs. J. W. Hutt, her mother and sister, were quite attractive, and made every one feel at home in their presence. Mr. J. W. Hutt was absent. Mrs. Banks, of 1409 Pine street, and her lady friends seemed to enjoy the music, that was rendered by Prof. Flowers' band. The model wife, Mrs. Buelah Turnly, was on deck looking as lovely as women get to be. Oh, I know. She is as happy as a lark. Mrs. Mamie Buckner, of 3125 Caroline street, was on deck, doing what she could for the success of the home. Mrs. Burk, of 2726 Hickory street, was present, rendering all the aid she could to the good work. Up to this writing no official itemized report has come to this paper from the home. Mrs. I. Hawkins, of 3940 Fairfax, and her lovely daughter, acted well their part. Mrs. Dupee, better known as Caesar, and her husband, were there. We noticed several things that attracted our attention. W. A. Ashley was out in his uniform, but his partner, Holland, was not out. As usual, he was carrying the girl's high. NOTICE. NOTICE If you want any hauling or moving, call at 2343 Randolph street. L.

THE CHURCH THE MESSIANIAN BAPTIST CHURCH The Thessalonian Baptist church, corner of Jefferson and Scott avenue, will be thrown open to the public Sunday evening, May 27, at 8 o'clock sharp. The newly-elected pastor, Rev. E. Calvin Cole, will deliver the opening sermon. The officers and members hereby cordially invite the public to attend this and all services of the church. SOMETHING NEW. It will be of interest to the readers of the Palladium to know that plans are being perfected for the construction in St. Louis of a theater exclusively for Colored people. The matter has been under consideration for some months, and action is now being taken, which, if it proves satisfactory and demonstrates the utility of the project, will result in the construction of the theater in time for the coming winter season. Some months ago the management of the Gayetey theater was urged by a number of Colored capitalists to promote the organization of a company to be capitalized for $75,000 or $80,000 to erect a theater for Colored people at which the attractions should be high class vaudeville. These capitalists stated that they would be willing to subscribe at least $40,000 for this purpose, but felt that it was necessary for the success of the undertaking that there should be interested in it men with broad theatrical experience. The suggestion met with the favor of the Gayet management, and as a result a preliminary experiment is to be made in the erection of a combined summer garden and theater, which will depend entirely on the Colored population of St. Louis for its support. Within the next three weeks there will be constructed what is known as an Airdome theater, which combines the best features of a garden and summer theater, for Colored people. The exact location has not been determined upon, as several sites are under consideration, but, in view of the fact that there are so many summer gardens round about St. Louis, more attention will be paid to the theatrical than the garden features, and so the Airdome theater will be built somewhere downtown. The Airdome theater is something new in the way of a summer amusement feature. It was originally started in the east, where, during the past two seasons, it has become a great attraction in many of the large cities. In construction the Airdome theater combines the arrangement of a hippodrome and a summer theater. The seats are arranged in either a semi-circle or on two sides and one end, after the manner of the seats at a circus. In the center are placed rows of other seats, and the stage is constructed at one end. The raised seats serve as sides to the theater, but do not interfere with the free access of the summer breezes. The Airdome is a decided novelty, and certainly will be enjoyed during the hot nights of summer. It forms a perfect canopy, and with the electric lights above and the footlights in front will make the theater very attractive. At present there are no summer resorts in St. Louis at which Colored people are welcome. In fact, they are barred from all the leading summer gardens, and this certainly works a hardship upon at least 20 per cent. of the population of St. Louis. Now as to the connection between the Airdome theater and the one which is in contemplation for the coming season. This summer theater will be erected as an experiment. If the Colored population of St. Louis proves by their patronage this summer that a Colored theater is popular, the winter theater will be built. If they do not, the winter project will be abandoned. Realizing that the time for the con- Stop construction of the winter theater is al-Syru- n. Take any Transit car that transfers to Jefferson avenue line and get off one block north of Jefferson avenue bridge. The installation of the officers and members of Thessalonian church will take place the first Sunday in Jure, in the afternoon, at 3 o'clock. All churches and pastors, without regard to denomination, are cordially invited to be present on this august occasion. ready short, it has been decided by the management of the Gayetey theater, at whose expense the experiment is being made, to put into effect a plan which will hurry along the work. To this end it has been decided to try a subscription sale for the opening week of the new Airdome theater. Tickets for the opening week will therefore be placed on sale at once at the ticket offices of the Gayetey theater, or if you wish to order seats in advance, they may be ordered by mail by sending your order to the box office of the Gayetey theater. If this subscription sale proves reasonably large—in fact, large enough to indicate that the Colored citizens will liberally support the new project—work upon the new winter theater will begin at once. The attractions at the Airdome theater will be of the highest order. Among them will be such well-known specialty people and singers as Black Patti and John Rucker. There will also be moving pictures, illustrative songs and, whenever possible, a sketch. The price of admission will be 25 cents for adults and 15 cents for children, and the theater will be exclusively for Colored people. The theater will be conducted in a strictly first-class manner, and the attractions will be of a character that will appeal to the best element of St. Louis' Colored citizens. MR. JOHN B. VASHON.

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

Alleged to Have Killed a Man While Acting As a Volunteer Military Officer On Duty On the Water Front. WAS DEFENDING A MARINE The Body of the Man Killed is A leged to Have Been Weighted and Thrown Into the Bay and No Report of the Occurrence Made to the Coroner. San Francisco, May 25.—Ernest Denicke, son of E. A. Denicke, a wealthy San Francisco banker and capitalist, was arrested at his home, Thursday, on a charge of manslaughter. Denicke was released later under $5.000 bonds. On April 20, Denicke, wearing the uniform of a lieutenant of the United States army, shot and killed an unknown man on the Lombard street wharf. To representatives of the press Denicke admitted the shooting, but refused to talk further until he had secured counsel. Volunteered his services. Denicke is a well-known mining engineer, who has seen military services in the Philippines. On the night of the earthquake he donned his old uniform and volunteered his services to the colonel of the Twenty-second United States infantry. His tender was accepted and he was detailed on duty along the water front. Cause of the Tragedy. On Friday afternoon, April 29, a coop of chickens were liberated on the Lombard street wharf, and a number of refugees scrambled after the fowls, and one of these, evidently a middle-aged Italian or Mexican, was accosted by a drunken marine, who stabbed the man with a bayonet. The latter succeeded in wresting the gun from the marine, when an army officer rushed up and, according to stories told to the police by eye-witnesses, deliberately shot the man three times while he pleaded for mercy. THROWN INTO THE BAY. The man did not die immediately, but, it is alleged, was allowed to lie on the wharf until 11 o'clock that night. It was then discovered that the man was dead, and his body was weighted and thrown into the bay. No report of the death was made to the coroner, and it is alleged no report of the occurrence was made at military headquarters. Searching For the Body. For a long time the identity of the officer who did the shooting was not known. The police are now dragging the bay in the vicinity of the Lombard street wharf, in the hope of recovering the body. INDICTED UNDER NUMEROUS COUNTS Peoria, Ill., May 25.—The four principal owners in the failed Teis-Smith bank at Pekin, Ill., were indicted, Thursday, under 125 counts each by the Tazewell county grand jury. Judge Worthington fixed the bond of the defendants at $35,000 each, and surety is furnished at once. The true bills each charge embezzlement, and each count is based on the charge of an individual depositor who placed money in the bank after evidence offered to the grand jury indicated that the institution was involvent. The man under indictment are D. C. Smih, the aged head of the firm; E. F. Unland, Conrad Luppen and Henry Block. Habbe Velde and Luppe Luppen, also partners in the bank, were held by the grand jury to have had no knowledge of the bank's insolvent condition. Judge Worthington will adjourn court at Pekin this week, and the trial of the indicted bankers can not take place before the September term of court. The Tels-Smith bank failed April 2. EMPIRE DAY IN BRITAIN Anniversary of the Birth of the Late Queen Victoria Celebrated on Elaborate Scale. London, May 25.—Empire day was celebrated. Thursday, in London and throughout Great Britain. In some cases the rejoicings were carried out on an elaborate sca'e. Dispatches from various parts of the empire indicate that there was the greatest enthusiasm. All the British embassies and legations likewise celebrated the occasion. Hanged Himself To a Rafter. Joplin, Mo., May 25.—John Henry Mittenendorf, aged 53, foreman in the Joplin Sash & Door Co.'s factory, and whose family live in St. Louis, committed suicide by hanging to a rafter in the factory. No cause for the act is known unless it was his estrangement from his family. Marselles, May 25.—M. Kurino, former Japanese minister to Russia and recently appointed Japanese ambassador to France, has arrived here from Japan. THE POINT OF THE PROVERB An old proverb advises the shoe-maker to stick to his last. It means that a man always succeeds best at the business he knows. To the farmer it means, stick to your plow; to the blacksmith, stick to your forge; to the painter, stick to your brush. When we make experiments out of our line they are likely to prove expensive failures. It is amusing, however, to remark how every one of us secretly thinks he could do some other fellow's work better than the other fellow himself. The painter imagines he can make paint better than the paint manufacturer; the farmer thinks he can do a job of painting better, or at least cheaper than the painter, and so on. A farm hand in one of Octave Thanet's stories tells the Walking Delegate of the Painters' Union, "Anybody can slather paint;" and the old line painter tells the paint salesman, "None of your ready made mixtures for me; I reckon I ought to know how to mix paint." The farm hand is wrong and the painter is wrong: "Shoemaker, stick to your last." The "fancy farmer" can farm, of course, but it is an expensive amusement. If it strikes him as pleasant to grow strawberries at fifty cents apiece, or to produce eggs that cost him five dollars a dozen, it is a form of amusement, to be sure, if he can afford it, but it's not farming. If the farmer likes to slosh around with a paint brush and can afford the time and the expense of having a practical painter do the job right pretty soon afterward, it's a harmless form of amusement. If the painter's customers can afford to stand for paint that comes off in half the time it should, they have a perfect right to indulge his harmless vanity about his skill in paint making. But in none of these cases does the shoemaker stick to his last. There is just one class of men in the world that knows how to make paint properly and have the facilities for doing it right; and that is the paint manufacturers—the makers of the standard brands of ready-prepared paints. The painter mixes paints; the paint manufacturer grinds them together. In a good ready-prepared paint every particle of one kind of pigment is forced to join hands with a particle of another kind and every bit of solid matter is forced, as it were, to open its mouth and drink in its share of linseed oil. That is the only way good paint can be made, and if the painter knew how to do it he has nothing at hand to do it with. A paint pot and a paddle are a poor substitute for power-mixers, buhr-mills and roller-mills. The man who owns a building and neglects to paint it as often as it needs paint is only a degree more short-sighted than the one who tries to do his own painting or allows the painter to mix his paint for him. One in the Audience Who Had Never Heard of the Great Man in Question. At the recent annual meeting of the voters of Cape Elizabeth two names were presented for moderator, Henry S. Jorden and Clement E. Staples, Republican and Citizen, respectively, says the Boston Herald. The orator who nominated Mr. Staples made a mighty effort. "Who is Clement E. Staples?" he cried, as he waved his arms like pump handles and strode back and forth on the platform. A deep and impressive silence followed. Again waving his arms, he called in a voice of thunder: "Who is Clement E. Staples?" The silence was more pronounced and the effect greater. The audience was visibly impressed. Before attempting to dwell upon the good qualities of his candidate, the speaker again proclaimed: "I say, who is Clement E. Staples?" A small man in the rear of the hall stood on a chair and broke the silence by saying: "Waal, I'll bite. Who is be?" LIMB RAW AS PIECE OF BEEF. Suffered for Three Years with Itching Humor—Cruiser Newark U. S. N. Man Cured—Speedy Cure by Cuticura. "I suffered with humor for about three years off and on. I finally saw a doctor and he gave me remedies that did me no good, so I tried Cuticura when my limb below the knee to the ankle was as raw as a piece of beef. All I used was the Cuticura Soap and the Ointment. I bathed with Cuticura Soap every day, and used about six or seven boxes of Cuticura Ointment. I was thoroughly cured of the humor in three weeks, and haven't been affected with it since. Have no other Soap than Cuticura now. H. J. Myers, U. S. N., U. S. S. Newark, New York, July 8, 1905."

SWITZLER COL. WM. F. SWITZLER THE NESTOR OF JOURNALISM IN AMERICA DEAD. Passed Away At His Home in Columbia, Missouri, At the Ripe Old Age of 87 Years. Columbia, Mo.—Col. William F. Switzler, the historian of Missouri, and for 65 years an editor in this state, died here of old age at 3:30 a.m. Thursday, at the age of 87. Col. Switzler's three children, Mrs. J. S. Branham, of Columbia, Warren Switzler, of Omaha, and Irvin Switzler, of Columbia, were at his bedside when the end came. He was married in August, 1843, to Miss Mary Jane Royall, of Columbia, who died September 11, 1879. He was a member of the Presbyterian church. He asserted during his life, and the assertion was never controverted, that he was the oldest editor in the United States, that he was Missouri's first civil "colonel," and that he had never in his whole life tasted any intoxicating beverage. His newspaper career began in 1843 when he became editor of the Columbia Patriot. He established the Statesman in 1843, and conducted it continuously until 1885, when he was appointed chief of the bureau of statistics at Washington, holding the position until a few months after the inauguration of President Harrison. He achieved a national reputation as a statistician. In 1891 Col. Switzler took charge of the Chillieothe Constitution, and a year later of the Boonville Democrat. In 1902 he returned to the Statesman which he managed about six months. During the last three years he had not engaged in newspaper work beyond occasionally assisting in the publication of the Statesman. Col. Switzler was the author of a comprehensive "History of Missouri," and of the "History of Boone County," besides numerous shorter works on Missouri history. His latest work was a "History of Missouri University," which it was the greatest ambition of his later years to see in print. He died just before the probable consummation of his desire. THE REUNION PROCLAIMED Cumberland Presbyterian Church and the Presbyterian Church of America Once More a Unit. Des Moines, Ia.—"I do hereby solemnly declare and here publicly announce that the basis of reunion and union is now in full force and effect and that the Cumberland Presbyterian church is now reunited with the Presbyterian church in the United States of America as one church." With these words, uttered before the general assembly, Moderator Hunter Corbett officially established the union of the Cumberland church with the Presbyterian church in the United States of America. The big ecclesiastical assemblage burst into a storm of rejoicing. Hand-clapping, cheers and waving of hard-kerchels gave expressions to unalloyed p'easure. The consummation devoutly wished and worked for through many years, despite many obstacles, had become a reality. Wednesday a telegraph was received from Decatur announcing the adoption of the joint resolution of the Cumberland church. At the opening session of the Des Moines assemblage similar action was taken and messages to that effect dispatched to Decatur. QUICK ACTION IN A SUIT FOR DIVORCE St. Joseph, Mo.-Mrs. Ellen P. Tootle, wife of J. J. Tootle, a millionaire banker of St. Joseph, was granted a decree of divorce by Judge Henry M. Ramey, in the circuit court, Thursday afternoon. The suit was filed Thursday, and was immediately taken up by the court. Decertion and indignities were charged. A decree was granted. Cloverly Farm, the spendid country mansion, recently erected by the Tootles, is to became the property of the wife. She is also to receive $100,000 in money. THE G. A. R.

Under the Leadership of Henry Denny, President; Nora Warrington, Vice President; Sonny Mack, Treasurer. Last Monday, at Bloemecke's grove, 6200 North Broadway, all the people turned out, and for hours all enjoyed themselves. The members of the club did all in their power to make it an enjoyable occasion for all. Not less than 3,200 persons passed in the gates, and a smile seemed to lighten up the countenance of each one as they entered. All hall to the officers and members of this club. We noticed many things, and all seemed to realize that the Palladium man would do them justice. We saw Mr. Hobbs, the barber, of 11 North Fourteenth street. He was accompanied by his wife. Sam, "the famous tailor," was on deck, making things hum, and champagne flowed like water. The boys of the club made it pleasant for him, and in return he appreciated their kindness. Non can shine like Sam, "The Tailor." Miss Lula Sharp, of 815 South Tenth street, was as charming as the goddesses of yore. Tony Ridgeway took things as they came, and he seemed to be as happy as a lark. Mrs. Lettie Richardson and her loving daughter had a pleasant time. Oh, yes, we saw all, and yet they are all O.K. If it were otherwise, we would say so. Miss M. Arant, of 2718 Rutger street, was pleasant to look upon. Mr. A. A. Brooks, the former skating rink man, was doing a paying business. He is always alive to business. Randall and Wel's, the haberdasher men, were out getting acquainted with the famous T. C.'s club. Patronize them and they will do likewise. Mrs. Warrington and her lady friend seemed to enjoy themselves, to our great delight. Miss Mahala Donohue and her mother, of 815 South Tenth street, were present, and were the belles of the occasion. They came in a carriage, as did Miss Arant. Mr. Chas. Ming. John B. Thornton, Wm. Maffitt, J. H. McCloneter and others came in a tally-ho. This party represented the Negro Jefferson club. Horace Cooper came in a runabout. Oh, yes, while on the grounds he was quite a runabout with the girls. Sonny Mack was present with a long overcoat on. He was dressed as if it were the dead of winter. The dance hall was crowded with beautiful girls, boys, men and women of all classes and ages. Yet all seemed to work for the good of each other. Harry Denny, Sonny Mack and Noah Warrington were as cool as cucumbers, for they were bent on making it pleasant for all. This cutting eclipsed all of their other affairs. MR. COLLINS WRITES US. Editor of the Palladium: Dear Sir—Your readers have heard much about the great earthquake and fire which began in San Francisco on the morning of April 18, but it is one of the few occurrences that can not be overstated by the newspapers. Perhaps it would be nearer the truth to say the half has not been told. There are many reasons why this should be the case. The very financial salvation of many men depends upon holding out a cheerful view of the situation. Say that San Francisco is ruined. Say it in such a way as to seriously impress the moneyed men and the men of commercial and business standing; and it means the ruin of many. Hence there is really more exaggeration in the favorable reports now being sent out than there was in stating the terribleness of the calamity. Disgise it as you may, it is a fact nevertheless that many people believe that some day San Francisco will go into the Pacific ocean. There were many things in connection with the recent earthquake that were calculated to strengthen this belief, and people who left San Francisco since the recent calamity will never return, and many that contemplated taking up their residence in California will be turn away. This, from a Negro standpoint, is the most deplorable feature of the catastrophe, because we have been making special efforts to induce our people to California, and with the national Baptist convention coming to Loss Angeles this fall, and the efforts that we are preparing to put forward, we confidently expected to add many thousand Negroes to the population of California within the next few years. But our hopes have gone glimmering, and we fully realize that we will do well to hold what we have. There is, however, no denying the fact that California is a great state, and that there are advantages offered to the Negro in this state that are in some respects superior to anything offered anywhere else in this country. The climate is undoubtedly among the finest in the world. Almost everything that the earth produces grows here. There are millions of acres of land that can be bought at reasonable prices. There is much less color prejudice in this state than there is in some of our boasted free states of the north. In this state the Negro has very nearly an even chance in the race of life. Los Angeles has more race prejudice than possibly all the rest of the state combined. There are special reasons why this is so. There are some very good reasons to believe that the recent calamity was the visitation of the hand of God. The state has no law that regards Sunday. Hence by a large majority of the people Sunday is given over to sin. Please of every kind holds sway; of course, some over-greedy for money, make it a day of labor. The Bible is not al- "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. PHONE: Kinloch D-754. lowed in the public schools, and there have been instances of giving dancing lessons in the public schools, and San Francisco, the Pride of the West, was a prince in wickedness of every kind and character, and might have been looking for the visitation of the judgment of God. If the earthquake, the fire and the suffering and sorrow that are following them shall bring the people to a realization of the fact that there is a God, and that sin is a reproach to any people, it will have accomplished much good. JOHN M. COLLINS, May 17, 1936. Oakland, Cal. RIP SAW COLUMN OF THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM 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 mushrooms, 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. Somebody who lives on Texas avenue, south of Lafayette avenue, and who is teaching in the public schools by virtue of claiming to belong to the Negro race. They also claim to be one of the Mushrooms, or big Negroes. They never have anything for a Negro business man to do. When anyone dies in their family they always get a white undertaker to conduct the funeral. We have three as good undertakers as there are in St. Louis—yet the Big Negro, or the Mushroom Negro—has nothing for them to do. The quicker such flankies are driven from among us the better for the race. We waited until the hour of going to press for itemized report. It slipped our memory that they had an official organ to do their printing, hence the cause. A man whom some people call doctor, We would like to know who gave him that title? Answer: The undertakers. They like him, for he always keeps them busy. Down on Market street a set of renegades get together and say mean things about the Palladium man. Hell is full of such trash. Birds of a feather will flock together. Vernon was in St. Louis a few days ago. MRS. J. W. WOOD of 4003 Fairfax Ave IS IN THE Hair Dressing Business PURE HAIR BRAIDS MADE TO ORDER.

He has twenty-five years' of experience in the grocer business, and thoroughly understands the wants of the patrons. His success is due to his courteous treatment of all to come to his store. We have known Mr. Hencken for eight years and observation has taught us that he is one of the few who is really anxious to please his customers. Men and women of our race should patronize him as he patronizes our business men and firms. See his ad elsewhere in this paper.

Allen to the graduating class of the Kansas City high school was received with rounds of applause. The speaker emphasized, among other things, the necessity for that kind of education which would make it possible for the Negro to render more intelligent, nobler and more useful service in the elevation of his own race. Never in its history has Lincoln Institute attracted so much attention of the right sort from the public at large as it is receiving to-day. Scarcely a day passes but that someone who has heard favorable mention of the school comes out to see for himself, and leaves with the oft-repeated statement: "The half has never been told" of what the school is accomplishing, and of its capacity for further development. In every department visitors find something to attract the eye and cause the thought that a race thus mentally active, wholly or in any considerable part of it, can not long remain "a problem." Frequently they stop to purchase pictures painted by the students in the department of art, the money from the sale going to the student executing the same as a means of assistance in the purchase of his or her art materials. This is the season of the usual college festivities. The season in Lincoln Institute was inaugurated by President Allen's annual banquet to the senior class, and on the 18th inst. the freshmen followed with a delightful class banquet, including the faculty. Right here it is interesting to note that even in the innocent amusements incidental to college life the educational principle is never forgotten nor undervalued by those in charge. To illustrate, the beautiful decorations in the spacious dining hall were made by students under the direction of teachers; the table linen and all its appointments under the supervision of the teacher of laundering; the delicious menu was prepared and served under the direction of the teacher of domestic science, and so on from the beginning to the end the entire affair was made a part of that "preparation for complete living," so admirably set forth by Herbert Spencer.

Lily Brothers, Warren Park, New York DECOTION DAY MAY 50' The Grand Army of the Republic. Day by day their ranks are thinning, one by one they disappear. And at each succeeding roll call, fewer voices answer: "Here!" Still their regiments are marching—many march with noiseless tread. And no bugles sound "assembly" in the bivouac of the dead. Hats are reverently lifted to the heroes lying here; Lift them to the living heroes—hall them all with cheer on cheer. Not for long will they be with us; soon each regiment will be But to-day the drums are muffled and the flag at half-mast waves, Keeping green dead heroes' memories as the grass above their graves. Still another weary winter shrouded in the snow they lay; Now we bring them crowns and garlands of the loveliest blooms of May. Let them rest in honored slumber, while their praise, from shore to shore. Eighty millions throats are swelling—we are free forevermore! -Elisse Florence Fay, in Success Magazine. THE NEW MEMORIAL DAY. With blossom-laden hands, to-day the nation stands, Beside the graves of those who died for liberty. The story is long told, our hearts can no more hold The bitterness of strife, the tears, the agony. Yet the memory of these men shall perish only when The manhood of the land, the love of freedom, dies. And lo! beside their sod new fold is turned; for God New marytys called for freedom, 'mid women's tears and cries. By these just newly dead—their blood for Gute shed. Let all men know we keep their vigil while they sleep On guard, for ayo, of this great nation's destiny. These heroes have not laid their brave lives down in vain. Her sons again have pledged our land to liberty. O hearts that grieve to-day for soldiers far away, Who bore our country's flag and died to set men free. Look up and sigh no more. Like those who died before. The nation keeps their memories and the people's hearts are true. For Chickamauga still echoes on through San Juan Hill. To one nation and one people 'neath the white and blue To the Nation's Dead. Those noble sons that in battle trod. No more the sound of the bugle call Shall quicken their steps to duty's call. They only wait for the trumpet sound, When the great and good shall at last be crowned, And the battle and strife of yesterday Shall be lost alike to the Blue and Gray. Ye who march on this day in May, To scatter garlands of flow'res gay Over the mounds of soft green sward, Where sleep the brave in battle gored; Know that to these ye owe your land, So scatter the buds with willing hand, With thoughts of love while lips do pray For the peace and rest of the Blue and Gray. And let the flag on each grave rest, Of him whose struggle made it blest. Those Stars and Stripes let proud wave Above each soldier honored grave. For these are they who held them high, Caring not that they should die. So let the Union feel to-day Thoughts of love for the Blue and Gray. Sleeping. Not Dead. Ye silent men, who to your country gave The last full measure of devotion—life— Ye fell asleep while the tumultuous strife Around you swelled in fury, like the wave Which breaks upon the rocks which prove its grave. To-day, around you all the air is rife With walling cries from bugle and from fife— The voice of that dear land you died to save. Nay, ye have never died—we live to-day In every soul which joys that it is free; in that fair flag with which the breezes play, With every flashing star undimmed, un- lost; in all our hearts, which clay like yours shall be Before our land forgets what freedom cost. —Ninette M. Lowater, in N. Y. Sun. The Fallen. Hark! a bugle winds shrill 'Oer the brow of the hill, At whose base stygian waters outpour; 'Tis our comrades, beyond sight, Signal back through the night To the few who are left on this shore. Old Charon oars free Our brave hosts through the sea, As they, prompt to the bugle, respond— How his boat rocks and rolls, With the weight of their souls, Who are linked with affection's strong To the blue and the gray Gives he each right of way, And a chaplet of glory as well; Since nobly they fought Each as honor had taught, And nobly, as heroes, they fell. MEMORIES OF THE PAST. The Day Intended for Appropriate Commemoration of the Deeds of Heroes. Memorial day was founded that there might be a few hours in each year set aside for the appropriate commemoration of the deeds of men who had been killed while serving the country in the army or navy or who had died since having so served. For a number of years it was generally and suitably observed. Then in some places it ceased to be observed at all. In many it was given up to bicycle and horse racing and other sports and festivities. Diversions of this kind have been widely and properly protested against as desecrations of the day. The protests seem to have had some effect, for observance of the occasion promises to be not only more general this year than usual but also more appropriate. Graves will be decorated, and in many cities, towns and rural neighborhoods there will be solemn processions to cemeteries, and sermons will be preached and addresses delivered recalling the brave deeds of the nation's heroes and the great principles for which they fought and for which many died. Holidays devoted to recreation and sport are a good thing, but it does not necessarily follow that all holidays should be given up to them. Memorial day ought to be devoted largely to recalling what past generations did. Contemplation of the courageous and self-sacrificing patriotism exhibited by past generations is to little purpose if it do not imbue their successors with a purpose to emulate them. The men of to-day have confronting them questions almost as difficult as any which have yet been dealt with, and the best way the sons can show their appreciation of what the fathers accomplished is by resolving to go about their work as citizens with the same courage and in the same spirit as their fathers went about theirs.—Chicago Tribune. TRIBUTES TO THE PRIVATE "Let Us Care for Him." "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations." — Lincoln's Second Inaugural. "Heroic Years of America." "We begin to realize that the years we have so recently passed through, though we did not appreciate at the time, were the heroic years of American history."—Charles Francis Adams, on "The Double Anniversary." July 4, 1869. "First Rank of Militant Nations." "The record of both sides places the people of the United States in the first rank of militant nations."—Col. Thomas L. Livermore. "Love of Country Alone." "Love of country alone could have inspired 200,000 men to die for the union. Nothing less sacred than this love of country could have sustained 175,000 brave men who suffered and starved and died in rebel prisons. Nor could anything else have given comfort to the 500,000 maimed and diseased who escaped immediate death in siege and battle to end in torment the remainder of their patriot lives."—William McKinley, July 4, 1894. "God bless the union! It is dearer to us for the blood of the brave men which has been shed in its defense."—Edward Everett at Gettysburg, 1863. Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty. The greatest service the Grand Army of the Republic has rendered is the beautiful way in which it gives life to the principles of the organization—fraternity, charity and loyalty. That millions of men of every degree of life and station should for 40 years be bound together by this common bond of brotherhood is not only worthy of admiration, but also of imitation by the members of this republic. Charity, or love, is the greatest thing in the world, and love is the key to every department of life, the foundation of patriotic teaching, the safety of the country, the home and the individual. Loyalty to their comrades, their organization, their country and their God has been fittingly illustrated in the lives of these boys in blue. This trinity of principles, if copied by our $8,000,000 citizens, would make us the greatest nation on earth. Keep Alive Love for Flag. As each year rolls around some patriotic city is asked to welcome the G. A. R. in a grand runelon, striving to do some other city, which with outstretched arms has welcomed the G. A. R. in a grand reunion, striving to out to life a dormant spirit of devotion to the old flag and a resolve that this union of states will never be dissolved. Without the G. A. R. to refresh the memory of the people of this country, they would be apt to forget the great sacrifice this nation suffered that this union should not be dissolved. Again there is another wing to the G. A. R., the Sons of Veterans, organized to go hand in hand with the G. A. R. to perpetuate their memory for generations to come, to keep alive the love for the old flag, as the strength of the nation depends on the love of its people to defend it in time of danger.

Some weeks earlier Jesus had sent the twelve forth, two by two, to preach, teach and heal in the villages of Galllee, while He Himself went to its cities. "What they had done." Without doubt they had faithfully executed the commission given them. (See Matt. 10:5-8.) V. 31. "Come ye yourselves apart." The original emphasizes the thought that privacy was greatly desired. "Into a desert place." Any unpopulated district is termed, by Orientales, a desert or wilderness. "Were many coming and going," and Jesus and the twelve found no opportunity for conversation, nor "leisure so much as to eat." V. 32. "Departed . . . by ship privately." Embarked in a boat upon the Sea of Galilee, and by rowing, or sailing, reached the place Jesus had chosen. They tried to set out without attracting attention. V. 33. Saw . . . knew Him," or them." Saw them set out, and knew, from the direction the boat took, where they were going. "Ran afoot." Walked quickly along the coast to the north shore of the lake. V. 34. "When He came out." When He landed and saw the eager crowd. "Moved with compassion." He pitied them because they seemed like sheep having no shepherd. "To teach them." Luke says, He "spake unto them of the Kingdom of God." He also healed the sick whom they had brought. V. 35. "Day was now far spent." It was toward the close of what the Jews called the first evening, which lasted from three to six o'clock. All began to think about something to eat. "This is a desert place." It was uninhabited, hence "desert," and unable to supply food for the people. "The time is far passed." The greater part of the day had been spent, or the time for the evening meal was already past. V. 36. "Send them away." If they delayed longer, they might faint from exhaustion before they could reach a place where they could find food. V. 37. "Give ye them to eat." This astonishing command came from the lips of Jesus. Yet He well knew they had not enough for even their own needs. "Shall we go and buy?" Was it the duty of these already tired men to make the long journey to the distant villages and return? "Two hundred pennyworth." This amount, about $34 in our money, Philip had estimated would be needed for their great company. V. 38. "When they knew." When Andrew found in the company a little boy who had brought his supper with him. V. 39. "Commanded them to make," etc. Like an able general, Jesus directed the twelve, who directed the movements of the multitude. "Sit down by companies." The word translated companies refers to banqueting companies. "Green grass." It was springtime, and the grass was plentiful and fresh. V. 40. "Sat down in ranks." Literally, "like garden beds." M. R. Vincent says: "The former adverb, by companies, describes the arrangement. V. 41. "When He had taken." The bread and fish were given into Jesus' hands. This was the most important thing. "Looked up to Heaven." The whole company was thus directed by Jesus to recognize the supply as coming from the Heavenly Father. "Blessed," or "gave thanks." V. 42. "Did all eat." None refused. "Were filled." Each one had as much as he wanted. Christ always satisfies. V. 43. "Took up . . . fragments." Jesus directed them to do so. He would teach them not to be wasteful. The baskets mentioned were the common wicker baskets used by the Jews when traveling, to carry food, so that they might not be forced to eat food which was polluted in any way. Practical Points. V. 33. God often tries our faith by permitting our cherished plans to be overthrown.—Jas. 1:3. V. 36. Jesus never sends a seeking soul away empty.—Matt. 5:6. V. 37. God gives no command but he gives power to obey it.—2 Cor. 9:8. V. 40. It is well to use systematic business methods in Christian work—1 Cor. 14:40. V. 41. God honors His Children in permitting them to pass on His bounty to the world.—1 Pet. 4:10. V. 42. Christ fully satisfied.—John §:25. Women in Our Hospitals Appailing Increases in the Number of Operations Performed Each Year-How Women May Avoid Them. Miss Ruby Mushrush Mrs. AliceBerryhill "My dear," said the trusting wife, "I don't think your rules of economy are any good." "You don't?" asked the fond husband. "No," she replied, bending anew over the column of figures in her beautifully bound expense book. "You told me the way to save money was not to buy things—that thus we would save the amount the goods would have cost us. So I have been careful to set down the exact price of everything I have wanted to buy but felt I could not afford. I find, in adding it up, it amounts to $535, but I only have $4.37 in cash on hand.

Light-weight men always think they are heavy-weight thinkers. Women in C Appalling Increases in the Performed Each Ye Avoid Them. Miss Ruby Mushrush Going through the hospitals in our large cities one is surprised to find such a large proportion of the patients lying on those snow-white beds women, who are either awaiting or recovering from serious operations, Why should this be the case? Simply because they have neglected themselves. Female troubles are certainly on the increase among the women of this country—they creep upon them unawares, but every one of those patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in that bearing-down feeling, pain at left or right of the abdomen, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, dizziness, flatulency, displacements of the organs or irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of an unhealthy condition of the female organs, and if not heeded the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation. When these symptoms manifest themselves, do not drag along until you are obliged to go to the hospital and submit to an operation—but remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved thousands of women from surgical operations. When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful periods, weakness, displacement or ulceration of the organs, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation, backache, bloating (or flatulency), general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, "all-gone" and "want-to-be-left-alone" feelings, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com ALLEN'S FOOT-EASY A Certain Cure for Tired, Hot, Aching Fo DO NOT ACCEPT A SUBSTITUTE Inducements Held Out by Western Canada Are Powerful. A recent number of the Winnipeg (Manitoba) Free Press contains an excellent article on the prospects in Western Canada, a portion of which we are pleased to reproduce. The agents of the Canadian Government, located at different centres in the States, will be pleased to give any further information as to rates, and how to reach these lands. "Just now there is a keener interest than ever before on the part of the outside world, in regard to the claims of the Canadian West as a field of settlement. At no previous time has there been such a rush of immigration, and the amount of information distributed broadcast is unprecedentedly great. "In the majority of the States of the Union and in Great Britain the opportunities for home-making and achieving of even a modest competence are at the best limited. Moreover, according to the social and industrial conditions prevalent in those communities, the future holds out no promise of better things. It is not strange, then, that energetic young men should turn their eyes to Canada's great wheat belt, where every man can pursue fortune without the hindrance of any discouraging handle- "The inducements held out by Western Canada are powerful and made manifest by the great movement now in progress. That the prospects are considerably more than reasonably certain is borne out by the history of the country and its residents. The promise of gain is powerful, but when added to it there is the prospect of a corresponding social and civil elevation, it should prove irresistible to young men of a particularly desirable class for any new country. "The Canadian West is alive with opportunities for the young man who aims at becoming more than a mere atom in the civil and national fabric. Some of the eager young fellows who arrive on the prairies daily are destined to become more than merely prosperous farmers. In the near future great municipal and provincial development will be in the hands of the people. The stepping stone to both financial prosperity and civil prominence is, and will be, the farm. For every professional opening there are hundreds of agricultural openings. The Canadian prairies are teeming with opportunities for the honest and industrious of all classes, but they are specially inviting to the ambitious young man who seeks a field for the energy and ability which he feels inherent within him. The familiar cry of "Back to the soil!" is more than a vain sounding phrase when applied to Western Canada." Some people think that first-class plety is simply a feeling of pity for the third-class passenger on the glory train. Our Hospitals the Number of Operations year—How Women May Mrs. AliceBerryhill The following letters cannot fail to bring hope to despairing women. Miss Ruby Mushrush, of East Chicago, Ind, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I have been a great sufferer with irregular periods and female trouble, and about three months ago the doctor, after using the X-Ray on me, said I had an abcess and would have to have an operation. My mother wanted me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as a last resort, and it not only saved me from an operation but made me entirely well." Mrs. Alice Berryhill, of 313 Boyce Street, Chattanooga, Tenn., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "Three years ago life looked dark to me. I had ulceration and inflammation of the female organs and was in a serious condition. My health was completely broken down and the doctors came to me. I was not operated upon I would die within a week. I told him I would have no operation but would try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. He tried to influence me against it but I sent for the medicine that same day it was used to use it faithfully. Within five days I felt relieved and not entirely cured until I used it for some time.

NEAR TO NATURE'S HEART Where No Thought of Sordid Business Mars the Value of the Scenery. A $75,000 automobile rolled through the $00,000 bronze gates and up the $55,000 winding avenue to the $20,000 marble steps, relates the Newark News. Descending from the machine, the billionaire paused a moment to view the smiling $500,000 landscape. Across the $90,000 lawn, a $125,000 silver lake lay sleeping in the shades of early evening, and beyond it rose a lordly $50,000 hill, whose crest, cloaked with forest at an expense of $260,000, glowed in the last golden rays of the setting sun. The billionaire sank luxuriously into a $2,000 ivory porch chair and rested his feet on the rosewood railing of the $160,000 veranda. "It is pleasant," he observed, "to get back to nature once in awhile. After the cares and worries of the business day, I certainly love to run out to this quiet little $60,000,000 country club of ours and taste a bit of simple life. It is good to keep in touch with the soil; for what is man, but dust, after all!" Feeling restored, he passed in through the $400,000 doorway to his $1,500 dinner. So Homelike. Some one said to Brother Williams: "They have a balloon fad now, and you can go up and cool off in the clouds." "Yes, suh," he replied.

It affects the bowels because white bread is nearly all starch, and starch is digested in the intestines, not in the stomach proper. Up under the shell of the wheat berry nature has provided a curious deposit which is turned into diastase when it is subjected to the saliva and to the pancreatic juices in the human intestines. This diastase is absolutely necessary to digest starch and turn it into grapese sugar, which is the next form; but that part of the wheat berry makes dark flour, and the modern miller cannot readily sell dark flour, so nature's valuable digester is thrown out and the human system must handle the starch as best it can, without the help that nature intended. Small wonder that appendicitis, peritonitis, constipation and all sorts of trouble exist when we go so contrary to nature's law. The food experts that perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing these facts, made use in their experiments of the entire wheat and barley, including all the parts, and subjected them to moisture and long continued warmth, which allows time and the proper conditions for developing the diastase, outside of the human body. In this way the starchy part is transformed into grape-sugar in a perfectly natural manner, without the use of chemicals or any outside ingredients. The little sparkling crystals of grape-sugar can be seen on the pieces of Grape-Nuts. This food therefore is naturally pre-digested and its use in place of bread will quickly correct the troubles that have been brought about by the too free use of starch in the food, and that is very common in the human race to-day. The effect of eating Grape-Nuts ten days or two weeks and the discontinuance of ordinary white bread is very marked. The user will gain rapidly in strength and physical and mental health. "There's a reason" THE CHRISTIAN WORLD Interesting Story of the Conversion of Nan Boon Pan, a Noted Priest in Siam. The Record of Christian Work tells the following interesting story of how Christian influences are winning even the priest craft of Slam. For many years Nan Boon Pan was a highly honored and popular priest. His prosperous temple is within the shadow of the Chieng Mai church, and his pilgrimages to distant Buddhist shrines gave him distinction. He spent nights and days in meditation, seeking for light and satisfaction. When the late Laos king died, Boon Pan was chosen to sit at the king's head and do the last offices. When a prince of high rank recently entered his new palace, Boon Pan was chosen to pronounce a blessing upon the new domicile. He became ill, and after native remedies and charms had been tried for months without avail, he came to the American Presbyterian mission hospital, in spite of the protestations of his friends and fellow priests. So anxious were the Buddhists of his village to prevent his coming under Christian influences that they threatened to remove him from the hospital by force. By the blessing of God, Boon Pan was cured, and is now a joyful believer. A few weeks ago he publicly professed Christ, and was baptized in the very village where for many years he was the leading spirit in Buddhist merit making. IN KOREA. Encouraging Results Met With in Missionary Efforts in the Hermit Kingdom. Rev. W. G. Cram, of the Southern Methodist Mission in Korea, writes from Songdo: "We have had a church to spring out of heathendom as it were in a night, in a small city 210 li from Songdo. The interest in the Gospel was first noticed by the fact that people of this village bought large numbers of the Scripture portions, and by the lack of any comment other than a favorable one on the preaching of salvation through Christ. I sent one of my colporteurs to live in this village some two months ago. There are now in the city about 20 men and women who have given their names as believers. This little city commands vast territory and is of strategic importance to our church." ZULUS AS MISSIONARIES. Natives of Africa Trained in This Country Establish Successful Mission at Incwadi. A work similar to that of Booker T. Washington, at Tuskegee, is being done in South Africa by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Dube, of Incwadi, native Zulus who were educated in America. Mr. Dube supports himself by acting as pastor of Inanda church, while at the same time he and his wife and brother conduct an industrial mission school at Incwadi. This work has been highly commended by Prof. Darwin and other members of the British association which sent a committee recently to South Africa. Money has recently been given for the erection of a new dormitory. Regenerating the Congo Valley Regenerating the Congo Valley. In the middle of the last century, Victor Hugo uttered the singular prophecy that in the twentieth century "Africa would be the cynosure of all eyes." At that time the continent was unexplored. Now in the Congo valley alone, then an unknown district, eight Protestant societies are working in 40 stations and 300 outstations. They have 180 missionaries, nearly 9,000 church members and 2,000 natives in classes preparing for baptism. In speaking of the, this the Record of Christian Work says: "Perhaps the grandest results are seen in the missionary spirit of the converted natives. There are nearly five times as many native evangelists and teachers as there are missionaries. Nearly 22,000 pupils are in the mission schools, and 600,000 in the young people's societies. And yet there are those who think that missions do not pay, although it is as yet less than 30 years since the Congo valley was first opened to Christian effort." New Japanese Church The first Japanese Congregational church in America was organized in San Francisco recently, largely through the efforts of Rev. Mr. Kozaki. Much is expected from this pioneer congregation in advancing Christian works among the Japanese on our Pacific coast. Faith and Works Giles—I had occasion to call on Deacon Easychap this morning.

HE WENT ON CRUTCHES All Medicines Failed Until Dr. Williams' Pink Pillin Cured His Rheumatism. "Some years ago," says Mr. W. H. Clark, a printer, living at 612 Buchanan street, Topeka, Kans., "I had a bad attack of rheumatism and could not seem to get over it. All sorts of medicines failed to do me any good and my trouble kept getting worse. My feet were so swollen that I could not wear shoes and I had to go on crutches. The pain was terrible. "One day I was setting the type of an article for the paper telling what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had done for a man afflicted as I was and I was so impressed with it that I determined to give the medicine a trial. For a year my rheumatism had been growing worse, but after taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I began to improve. The pain and swelling all disappeared and I can truthfully say that I haven't felt better in the past twenty years than I do right now. I could name, off hand, a half-dozen people who have used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at my suggestion and who have received good results from them." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are guaranteed to be safe and harmless to the most delicate constitution. They contain no morphine, opiate, narcotic, nor anything to cause a drug habit. They do not act on the bowels but they actually make new blood and strengthen the nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism because they make rich, red blood and no man or woman can have healthy blood and rheumatism at the same time. They have also cured many cases of anemia, neuralgia, sciatica, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia and other diseases that have not yielded to ordinary treatment.

He Wasn't Certain. At Fortress Monroe, Va., one day about a year ago, a man, accompanied by two ladies, approached a soldier who, with a gun on his shoulder, was pacing to and fro near the entrance. The warrior's appearance indicated that he was new to the service. "Can you tell us," asked one of the visitors, addressing the recruit, "where Joff Davis was imprisoned here?" "Yonder's the ga-a-r-d house," he replied, jerking a thumb over his shoulder, "but I dunno whether they've still got him shut up or not." —Chicago Record-Herald. Now and Then. Dlogenes (300 B.

Put a naughty girl into her best Sunday clothes, and she will behave quite nicely. Put a blackguard into khaki and he will be a hero. Put an omnibus conductor into uniform and he will live up to his clothes. "White Disease" in Africa. Sir Harry Johnston, the famous explorer, once escaped from a very tight corner in Africa by a queer stratagem. A score or two of murderous natives had surrounded his tent, into which, before rushing it, they sent an envoy. The envoy was told the small-pox was in camp, and a wretched Albino was sent out as the awful example. In five minutes the scared tribesmen had vanished. As Sir Harry we! knew, they feared the "white disease" more than all the inventions of Maxim. What Has Reason to Do with It? Joe—But, my dear fellow, is your income enough to justify your marrying?
