THE VINDICATOR. This little sheet, which has been the supporter of one Vernon for register, said that they had received many compliments in regard to an article that they published last week headed "Negroes Owe Nothing to Any Party." We wish to say that just such short-signed Negroes as the publisher of the Vindicator have been the drawback of the young Negroes of this generation. We, the Negroes of the United States, are indebted to the republican party for everything which we now possess. We are sorry indeed that we have such ungrateful men in the race who claim to belong to the republican party. In 1859, 3,500,000 Ne- Y. M. C. A. DEFEATS SUMNER HIGH SCHOOL The Y. M. C. A. Base Ball club defeated the crack Sumner High School team in a heavy slugging match on Decoration day at Handlan's park, Grand and Lacade avenues, by a score of 16 to 13. The game was attended by the largest crowd of good people who have been seen at the park for some time, and the followers of both teams rooted hard for the success of their favorites. The timely batting and base running of the Y. M. C. A. team, however, returned them the winners. The Crawfords, Sexton, Williams and Mimms did the feature work for tae winners, while Bricky, Davis and Francis shone for the losers. Haley and Huffman umpired. AT REST Mrs. Ella Crittenton, beloved wife of Joseph Crittenton, who departed this life Thursday, May 24, at her residence, 2617 North Leffingwell avenue, was buried Sunday, May 27, from St. Peter's church. The church was crowded with sympathetic friends to pay the last tribute of respect to one who has gone to rest. The funeral was in charge of Good Samaritan Council, A. U. D., of A., of which the deceased was a faithful member. St. Joseph Council turned out in full. The deceased was also a member of St. Mary's Court and Electa Chapter. There were many handsome floral designs. Ministers Will Please Read Notice Below at Sunday Services.

Our 900,000 free Negroes were liberated by our martyred president, Abraham Lincoln. We glory in the vindication of the republican party that they have stood up for the Negro in all their legislation from 1860 to the present time; and it is to-day that grand old party is standing up for the Negro race and manhood in general. God forbid that we will ever find a man with common sense who will say: "We, the Negro race, owe nothing to the republican party." Just such so-called Negro papers which will stand up for the party that lets them feed at the public ple counter are the Negroes who are dangerous to the republican party in general. COLE BROTHER'S THEIR SHOW. Cole's show is swinging around through the eastern and northern cities and villages, and is making quite a success. It is undoubtedly one of the best shows that is now on the road. See their engagements for the last fifteen days: Monroe, Mich., May 28. Freemont, O., May 29. Norwalk, O., May 30.

The roster is: James Sinff, local band leader. Chas. Bruce, stage manager. Joseph Russell, vocal director. J. E. Adams, M. Adams, Perry Grant, A. F. Hutt, W. A. Johnson, and Uncle Chas. Brown. Arthur White and wife. We, the St. Louis people, are proud of our boys who are with the great Cole Brothers' United Show. We will try and have an account of them each week in the Palladium, so that its many readers can keep up with their friends, who are with this great show. Who Will Be the Lucky One? News comes to us that Prof. O. M. Waring, one of the most able and competent principals in the city, will resign his position at the end of this scholastic year.

He is a coming young man with the Bible and holy spirit as his guide. He is a member of Corinthian Baptist church. The Indianapolis Journal is trying hard to get back into the grand old republican party. The writer of the article on Vernon knows as much about Vernon as the hog does about Sunday school. The Palladium man has been in St. Louis, Mo., long enough to see and know—and we do know, so shut up. Rev. R. H. Cole, of the First Baptist church, delivered an address at DeSoto, Mo., last Monday night to the graduating class of said place. Prof. Allen Gunnell, the principal, was formerly a pupil of Rev. Cole, and this being his first class, he was very anxious that his old teacher should deliver the address. The citizens of St. Louis owe it to themselves to pack St. Paul chapel next Tuesday night, on the occasion of the lecture of Prof. Kelly Miller. He stands for all that is best in the Negro, and will bring a message, that will be both inspiring and instructive! Let us rally around our leaders and thus show that we appreciate what is best among ourselves. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES The week ending May 25 was an eventful one in the annals of Lincoln Institute, and made such largely through the annual reunion of the G.A.R. of Missouri, Woman's Relief Corps and the Sons of Veterans, assembled in Jefferson City. Among the many who took advantage of the occasion as an opportunity to visit Lincoln Institute was Capt. Parsons, of Edina, Mo., who commanded the famous Sixty-second regiment, and it was at his suggestion that these soldiers when mustered out of service contributed money to found the institution. Several of these soldiers came out to view the monument to their generosity and were almost moved to tears at the wonderful sight. To them it seemed impossible that from so small a beginning such great things had come. Capt. Parsons gave a most inspiring talk to the faculty and students assembled, contrasting conditions of the Negro at the close of the war, and now, and left with President Allen several documents, very valuable from sociological and historical points of view, relative to the members of this regiment, and the early days of Lincoln Institute, the object of the institution from the very beginning being the preparation of teachers for the emancipated race. These documents will be placed in the archives of the school to form an important feature of its historical record. Luncheon was served to members of the board of regents, on Thursday, prepared by the cooking class under the direction of Miss Sprague, of the department of domestic science. Hon. A. N. Seaber, of the permanent seat of government, conducted the service on Sunday. The address was in line with the reunion of the week past, and added another note of inspiration. Mrs. Cora Lee-Grayson, of St. Louis, formerly a student in the institution, and now president of a G. A. R. circle in St. Louis, Mesdames Douglass and Davis, of Mexico, were also among the visitors of the week. The junior reception to the seniors was a very pleasant affair. The dining hall, decorated in the class colors, yellow and white, hand-painted menu cards executed by the painting class, good music by the school orchestra, and the beaming faces of the students, all lent to the scene an attractiveness not easily forgotten. A RECEPTION. Wednesday, May 23, The Ladies' Noon Day Social club held their annual reception in the parlor of the Y. M. C. A., at 2702 Lawton avenue. A very enjoyable evening was spent. A short programme was rendered by the club, after which short talks were made by Mrs. E. C. Cole, Mrs. Geo. E. Stevens, Attorney Vaughn, and Mr. Marshall, treasure of the Y. M. C. A. A very pleasant feature was the introduction of a bride and groom of one week, namely, Mr. and Mrs. James Norwood (nee Bullick). Among the guests were Rev. and Mrs. Geo. E. Stevens, Rov. and Mrs. E. C. Cole, Rev. Gaines, Rev. S. P. Anderson, Rev. and Mrs. Densmore; Miss Hattie Nowell, of Greenville, Ill.; Mrs. L. McClain and daughter, Miss Jessie, of Edwardsville, Ill.; Mr. T. L. P. H. Davis, of Charleston, Ill.; Mrs. Maggie M. Edwards, of Kiloch Park, Mo.; Mr. J. L. Allen and her daughters, Miss Bertha and Hazel, of Webster Groves, Mo. Mrs. Eva G. Bolden, Mrs. Carrie Gorde, and Mrs. Haney acted as a reception committee. The Y. M. C. A. young men said it was one of the grandest reception ever held in their building. MOST POPULAR YOUNG LADY. The contest which took place at True Reformers' hall, last Wednesday, Decoration Day, was quite a spirted one, between several of our society young ladies, namely, Misses Eva Richardson, Mildred Ponder, Minnie Ross, and Willetta Mason. The battle has been waging for the past three weeks on the most friendly terms. Each aspirant thought well of her ending, and worked to that end, but when the votes were counted Miss Eva Richardson won by a majority of 593 and a plurality of 353, and was presented with the first prize, which was a five dollar gold piece. Miss Richardson carried the honors with 1,073 votes, and Miss Mildred Ponder, who had the second highest number of votes, which was 480, was presented with a second prize, which was $2. At the closing of the contest, every one was in the best of humor, and kindly feelings prevailed. $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents. . GANDERS CO. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

ER, Proprietor REJOICING TURNED TO HORROR Attempt, By Bomb-Throwers, to to Assassinate King Alfonso of Spain and His Newly- Made Bride, Queen Victoria. At Least Sixteen Persons Killed and Many Injured, the King and Queen Providentially Escaping Uninjured. The Explosion Occurred Just As the Royal Couple Had Nearly Reached the Palace On Their Return From the Ceremony. A SANGUINARY SPECTACLE One of the Would-Be Regicides Captured As He Attempted to Flee From the House Whence the Bomb Was Thrown, Another Madrid, June 1.—The public rejoicings over the marriage of King Alfonso XIII. and Princess Victoria had a terribly dramatic sequel at 2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon, as a bomb thrown from an upper window exploded with deadly effect near the coach occupied by the king and queen Providently, King Alfonso and Queen Victoria escaped when an electric wire deflected the bomb, but at least 16 persons, most of them belonging to the personal and military escort, were killed. Many others were injured. The following are the killed: The Bomb-Thrower's Victims. Capt. Barrosa, commanding part of the king's escort. Lleut. Reysent. Lleut. Prendergast. Six soldiers. The marquise of Colosa and her daughter. Don Antonio Calvo and his niece, aged six years. Jose Sola, 70 years of age. Louis Fonseca. One royal groom, who was leading one of the horses drawing the coach carrying the king and queen. Several of those killed were standing on the balcony of the house from which the bomb was thrown. The Explosion. The explosion occurred just as the royal couple had nearly arrived at palace. The route of the cortezge had been diverted from Arsenal street to Mayor street, owing to the popular de- KING ALFONSO XIIIL shire. The procession had just passed through Mayor street and was about to turn into the esplanade leading to the palace when an explosion shook the buildings in the vicinity, stunning a large number of people and throwing the cortege into inextricable confusion. Brought To a Sudden Stop. The royal coach was brought to a sudden stop by the shock, officers and soldiers of the escort falling to the ground about the quarry and horses that had been killed. The screams of CELEBRATIONS IN CUBA. They Were Marred at Clentfugon By a Fireworks Explosion. Havana, Cuba.—Twelve persons were wounded at Cienfuegos, Thursday, by the premature explosion of fireworks at the celebration of King Alfonso's wedding. At the Spanish Casino in Havana there was a banquet in honor of the wedding. President Palma was represented by Secretary of the Treasury Sterling and Secretary of Agriculture Castro. Senate Passes Anti-Immunity Bill. Washington, D. C.—The senate Thursday afternoon passed an anti-immunity bill so as to prevent further defeats in the courts as the government met in the beef trust prosecution in Chicago. It provides that under investigation of the bureau of corporations and under proceedings of the interstate commerce commission "immunity shall extend only to a natural person, who, in obedience to subpoena, gives testimony under oath or produces evidence documentary, or otherwise, under oath." the terrified multitude mingled with the groans of the dying. It was imme- diately seen that the royal coach was intact, except as it had been damaged by flying splinters. King Alfonso im- mediately alighted and assisted Queen Victoria out of the carriage. They then entered another coach and were driven swiftly to the palace. All Happened So Quickly. All this happened so quickly that people away from the immediate vi- city were not aware of the tragedy and continued to acclaim their so- vereigns. Soon, however, there appe- pared the empty royal coach with two horses missing and the others spattered with blood. Bomb Concealed in a Bouquet. The bomb, which was concealed in a bouquet, was of polished steel, half a centimetre thick. It was thrown from a third floor window. The house, according to some reports, belongs to the queen mother, having been bequeathed to her by a philanthropist, QUEEN VICTORIA. and being the only house she owns in Madrid. The house is opposite the Church of the Sacrament and the captain-general's residence. The royal procession had come to a temporary stop, with the royal carriage exactly opposite the house, when the bomb was thrown. The missile fell to the right of the royal carriage between the hindmost pair of horses and the front pair of wheels. The explosion killed two horses and a groom. The duke of Sotomayor, who was riding on the right of the carriage, was slightly wounded. The scene of the tragedy presented a horrid spectacle with men and horses lying about, literally torn to pieces. Intense excitement prevailed, the mob invading the streets while the forces of the guards sought to maintain order and block the approaching streets. The bodies were wrapped up in blankets and removed on litters, while the wounded were taken to hospitals in ambulances. The pavement was literally covered with blood, and the upper stories of the buildings nearest were spattered with it. The place from which the bomb was thrown is a boarding house. The chamber from which the missile was hurled was taken, May 22, by a man from Barcelona given the name of Moral. One Man Captured, Another Escane. When the police surrounded the house one man attempted to flee, but was captured. Another man escaped over the roofs of houses. One of the injured proved to be a son-in-law of Premier Moore's private secretary. According to an official statement, it is not known whether one or more bombs were thrown. The statement declares that it is impossible to ascertain at present the author of the outrage, although it is known that a Catalonian named Manual Duran took an apartment in the house from which the bomb was thrown, May 22, paying in advance with a 500 per eta bill. He was well dressed, of elegant appearance, and showed a fondness for flowers. American Envoy Calls At Palace. Frederick W. Whiteridge, the American special envoy, went to the royal palace late Thursday afternoon, where he was assured that the king and queen were reasonably tranquil, considering the circumstances. The duke of Sotomayor was entering the palace at the time Mr. Whiteridge was there, thus showing that his wounds are not serious. Mr. Whiteridge also called at the foreign office, and on behalf of the United States, expressed profound sympathy with the Spanish sovereigns and people. Rejoicings Turned to Awe. The news of the attempted assassination spread throughout the city with great rapidity, turning the rejoicings of the populace to awe. THEY FLIRTED WITH DEATH Fatal Accident On a Loop-the-Loop at Athletic Park, New Orleans. New Orleans, La.—Paul Suberville, a New Iberian, was killed and H. M. Henshaw, a planter and bank cashier of New Iberia, was fatally hurt in the loop-the-loop at Athletic park here. After completing the exciting part of the trip the car jumped the track, the injured man striking a water main. Southern Cotton Acreage. Jackson, Miss. — The Southern Cotton association bulletin, issued Thursday, shows the acreage planted in cotton this season to be 27,634,718 against 26,999,491 last year, an increase of 635,227 acres or 2.29 per cent.

Kavanaugh, Harb Following is the platform adopted by the state republican convention at Excelsior Springs: Leader For Every Issue. "When new issues have presented themselves, like the Cuban question, the building rising and the disposition of the compilations growing out of the acquisition of the Philippines, the republican party has had to acquit to the accession, has had at least to the head of the government a man of its own choice, great enough and patriotic enough to meet all emergencies, until our country has been recognized foremost among all nations of the earth. "To-day our country's flag is honored in every land and on every sea. Our financial resources are ever known. American money passes current among all nations. Our manufacturers have invaded the markets of all the world, and we reapers in the grain of India and Brazil have our loco-motor trains the world. Our looms weave the cloth of Manchester, and our telemetry equipment of New York. Our money circulation is greater per capita than in any other part of the world, and we pay the lowest rate of interest. In our own country to-day there are more than 10 million industrious citizens who desires employment. All these things are but the birth of republican legislation, fostered by our civil rights and by our nation. All men are proud to be Americans, and all men should be proud to be republicans. In President Roosevelt the assurance of a continued national administration unparalleled in its integrity and efficiency. He is a president whom the nation ever known in turn, collects honor upon the people. Missouri's Republican Officials. "We congratulate the republican congressmen from this state upon their effective work at Washington. Through their efforts, office of the state senator, junior senator, the state of Missouri is again assuming its proper position in national affairs. "We commend the splendid service given the state by our senators, our coals, and our pledge the people of Missouri that that service is but an earnest of what the people may expect if they again honor our nominees with their suffrage. "Our representatives of the republican party in this state again emphasize their demand for honest elections. The exerciation of the funerals is a fundamental attribute of the party. It be fairly cast and fairly counted. No expenditure of money incurred to protect the electoral system is too great. No difficulties can exist which can not be overcome, and the democratic party is responsible, need simplification and change. The election system of the large cities of this state have been framed for indirect and impersonal party demands purification of the ballot and the alteration of the existing laws, constructed for the purpose of making the control of political affairs in this state in the democratic party. "We declare our admiration of and gratitude to the American soldier, and believe that the Missouri state militia should receive from our position legislation, that recognition to which their patriotic services entitle them. "We declare the republicans of Missouri to be in favor of the strict enforcement of our law. During thirty years of misrule the Missouri state, through its elected officers, have enacted various laws which they them- WAR IN GUATEMALA Tapachula, Mexico.—Reports received here from Salvador state that Guatemalans and their sympathizers throughout the republic are intensely excited over the situation in Guatemala.

The republican congressmen from Missouri telegraphed greetings from Missouri. selves have violated and disregarded, and to the advocates of democratic reform have been the last awakened to the fact of law infraction, since the republican party for years, in its platform and through its leadership, insistently called attention to these abuses. Home Rule For Cities. "The republican party stands for and believes in the principle of government 'of the people, by the people and for the people, by the people' representatives here assembled' deines in a rule for every county, city and town in the state; and that that end that this principle of representative government may citizens of each of our large cities be given the right to regulate their own affairs to the extent of filling all offices, in particular the police, excluse and police commissioners, by a direct vote of the people of said cities. "Education is the builark of civilization, and we declare ourselves in favor of this term, and especially the rural public schools. We favor free text-books, adoptions and a still further extension of the school term, that our children may receive the advantage of a good education, the great age of the element of this wonderful age of human progress." "The improvement of the roads through the state constitutes an important subject for future legislation. The delegates will be represented by the representatives of the party are pledged to aid the people of the state to obtain them. The recent decision of the constitutional amendment providing for road taxes, creates an emergency, and we declare it our conviction that a special session of the legislature should be convened to submit the measures to be submitted to the people at the next general election, to the end that the new incoming legislature may provide the necessary improvement of the public highways. "We commend our national, state and county committees for their efficient management of the last campaign, resulting in republican victory in the state. Regulation of Trusts. "We call attention to the people of Missouri to the fact that, though for years the democratic party in this state has been loud in its denunciation of trusts, it has placed trusts on the statute books of this state against trusts and monopolies are those declaratory of the common law already existing and effective. Further, it has entirely failed to punish the imprisonment by fine and imprisonment of trusts and the formation and operation of trusts and monopolies for increasing the price of the necessities of life. We declare that there should be placed upon the statute books of the state the imprisonment of all persons engaged in the formation of trusts and monopolies. "We believe in party regularity, party integrity and party unity, for in unity only is there strength. We believe that every vote in the state should be cast and personal ambition, party division and personal ambition, party success is thereby jeopardized, and we invite to our support not only every republican in the state, but every other citizen who supports bean politics, good government, abolition, rule in state and national advancement. Railroad Rate Regulation. “Since 1891 it has been made the duty of the board of railroad and warehouse commissioners, by law enacted by the Board of Public Works on which the railroads of the state should carry freight within the limits of Missouri, which should be fairly remuneration to the public to the state. In every case to the people of the state. Completely has the board of railroad and warehouse commissioners, under democratic rule, and the corporate laws that are large majority of cases, the freight rates fixed by the board are higher than the rates fixed by the railroad companies. We have the right to recollection of President Roosevelt that the railroads, his own way of commerce, should be kept open and equal and fair terms to all alike, and we pledge the nominees of this convention to the office of the railroad and warehouse commissioner to cooperate with the other republican members of that board to establish fair and equal rates, at which the board of railways will be compelled to carry freight within the limits of the state. “We believe in fair treatment of both labor and capital, both important factors in the small and large business, and the railroads are, indispensable adjuncts of civilization, but neither they nor any corporation should be permitted to grant the land or persons clothed with official power to they have the way in influence to action against public good.” Repealed Midnight Lid. Omaha, Neb.—The mayor of this city has signed the ordinance passed by the outgoing council repealing the midnight closing ordinance for saloons. battle to the army of President Cabrera at the gates of the capital. President Cabrera's statement that the revolution has been crushed in its incipiency is ridiculed by Guatemalans, who state that the revolution has only just commenced. In upper Guatemala enthusiasm for Gen. Barillas is reported to be growing daily. No news has been received from Gen. Pinel, who has marched into the province of Peten, where it is confidently asserted the Indians are sure to elim him. Happenings in Missouri. Values Securities at Par. A statement has been printed to the effect that the securities held by State Treasurer Gmelich, deposited by the three bond investment companies now in trouble in St. Louis and elsewhere, are not worth anything like their face value. Mr. Gmelich says this is a mistake. He personally investigated all of these securities before he accepted them, and believes that they are worth a good deal more than their face value. Altogether these companies have deposited with the state treasurer securities purporting to be worth $1,042,540. "Of these securities," said Mr. Gmelich, "about $140,000 are in bonds, some of them being bonds of the United States and others school, municipal and county bonds. Most of these bonds are at a premium, and none of them are worth less than their face value. About $600,000 consists of first portages on improved Missouri farms, not on wild land of practically no value. The remainder is on improved real estate in St. Louis and Kansas City that was appraised at double the value of the mortgage, which as in the case of the farms, are first mortgages. I do not hesitate to say that I believe every cent represented by these securities is good and can be easily collected." A St. Joseph Fish Story. A follower of Walton set a trot line in the river at St. Joseph and attached thereto a number of empty jugs. A fish seized the bait and took a jug under as a small fish does a cork. The fisherman, who was in a boat, seized the line. It was drawn through his hands, and fearing that the other hooks on it would impale him, he tightened his grip and was at once pulled overboard. For three quarters of an hour the fight lasted. At times the giant fish, of the catfish clan, would rise to the surface and churn the water into foam by its exertions. The man in the water had a number of hooks in his clothing and was almost at the mercy of the fish. The fish at last broke the hook and escaped. The chase had carried the man nearly a mile and both were exhausted. This big catfish is said to have frequented the river near that place for the last two or three years and has been seen by several persons, who describe it as being anywhere from 200 to 500 pounds in weight. The fisherman says he is going after him again and proposes to land him the next time he takes his hook. Fraud Order Against Bond Company The postoffice department issued a fraud order against the National Bond company, whose headquarters are at St. Louis, but with agencies at Kansas City, St. Joseph, Springfield, Boonville, and other points in Missouri, and among whose directors appear the names of Lon V. Stephens, R. H. Kern, John B. O'Meara, William D'Oeuch, W. L. Clark, Russel Harriman, Arthur N. Sager, J. A. Davis, W. V. Powell, J. W. Breldenthal R. I. Gregory, M. M. Stephens, W. H. Savage, J. R. Woodfill, C. F. Martin, C. H. V. Lewis, Jerre South, George W. Strodtman and C. W. Hammond.

The Missouri State Press Association will hold its annual summer meeting at Hannibal on June 28 and 29. On the morning of the 30th, there will be an excursion by steamboat from Hannibal to St. Paul and return. This will be one of the most pleasant excursions the association has ever taken. Hannibal is arranging to royally entertain its guests. Gov. Folk, Gen. Hadley and Hon. W. H. Wallace have been invited to deliver nonpartisan addresses. Will Get His Reward. A high school graduate, of Holden "showed how man is not above the brute physically or mentally, but is higher only in his moral nature. Now that the inspired youth has finally cleared the mind of the world on this subject he is welcome to come out and get his reward in the shape of a $6 job driving a grocer's cart. A Brakeman Killed by Lightning. W. H. Edwards, a brakeman on the Missouri Pacific railroad, was killed in Osage City by lightning. The freight train was on a siding there when the storm came up. Edwards was standing on the track when the lightning struck him. Edwards lived in Sedalia. Is a Poor Penman: State Superintendent of Insurance Vandiver received a letter from Judge Louis Houck, of Cape Girardeau, which he carried in his pocket a year before he finally learned who it was from. Judge Houck uses hieroglyphics in his signature that an Egyptian cuneiform scholar could not decipher. Firebell to Warn of Storms. The city council at Webb City, has under consideration a plan to warn citizens of storms. The plan is to place barometers in a circle around the city at a distance of two to three miles out, each barometer to be electrically connected with the fire bell in town. The approach of a destructive storm from any direction would affect the torn barometers and its agitation would be transmitted to the wires and result in a quick and steady ringing of the fire-alarm bell near the town hall. Was It Pre-Natal Influence? A. B. Carter, a carpenter residing in Kansas City buried his two-months-old son recently, and he believes the city is primarily responsible for the death of the infant. The responsibility he fixes in an indirect way, in effect, that pre-natal influence exercised on his wife by a deformed garbage gatherer employed by the city, caused the child to be born in a deformed condition, which subsequently resulted in the death of the child. The baby was born March 19 and the deformity consisted of two fissures in the upper lip, V-shaped, that extended back through the palate. An attempt was made to nourish it with condensed milk and fresh milk from a cow but the little one gradually became weaker, being unable to retain the food on its stomach, and practically died of starvation. Mr. Carter claims that several months before the child was born garbage from his house was collected by a man who was horribly deformed. Not only did he have hare lip similar to that which developed on the child, but his hands were webbed together. He also claims that this man made a practice of opening the door of the house whenever he came to collect the garbage and exhibiting his deformity to Mrs. Carter. New Knight Templar Officers.

Stumping for Good Roads. Determined to bring about an extra session of the state legislature to pass upon a constitutional amendment, Missouri good road advocates are stumping the state in an endeavor to arouse public sentiment in their favor. L. H. Lawson, a progressive farmer, of Livingstone county, was in Kansas City seeking the support of commercial organizations and asking them to petition Gov. Folk for an extra session. Special efforts are being made to win support in Kansas City, St. Joseph and St. Louis, situated in the only three counties of the state that are now empowered to spend anything approaching an adequate sum for road improvement and maintenance. Other counties are expected to favor the special session movement through anxiety to relieve their own needs. Says Students Were Attacked. Says Students Were Attacked. Dr. J. C. Jones, acting president of the University of Missouri, has issued an official version of the fight between students and showmen of the Cole Bros. circus, that took place at Columbia recently. According to his statement, not more than 100 students participated in the riot and they have been censured unduly. He says there is no evidence of any fights or acts of violence on the part of the students until they were attacked by showmen at the railway tracks where the circus equipment was being loaded on the train after the evening performance. To his statement is added a report by Capt. Joseph Frazier, commandant of cadets, and a member of the discipline committee, who witnessed the disturbance. Probable Case of Murder. The body of a man about 35 years of age, at first supposed to have been killed by a train, was found near a Missouri Pacific bridge, a short distance west of Pleasant Hill. Before the coroner's jury, Dr. Prentiss, local surgeon for the Missouri Pacific, after having thoroughly examined the nature of the wounds on the body, gave it as his opinion that it was a case of murder.

Last week several so-called newspapers took the notion to vilify Miss Emma Brown on account of her actions. We wish to say this must be stopped. If it is not, the Palladium man will open a new chapter in the Vernon case. Vernon knows the truth of the whole thing, and no witnesses are more potent than a man's conscience. The conscience will at all times tell the truth of Emma Brown's statement. In 1871 or 1872, the Hon. Charles P. Johnson, when he prosecuted Capt. Donaldson for killing Negroes on his boat, the last words he said were: "Gentlemen of the jury, if you acquit this man Donaldson you acquit a murderer. I ask you to be fair." Now let the public draw their own conclusion. A few Negro papers which are sent out by these so-called editors desire to eat at the pie counter with Vernon. We say shut up! shut up! for we know whereof we speak. The western states of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows have never had a grand master in the west and now is the accepted time. They have the logical candidate in the west, possessing all the qualifications that are requisite for a leader of that grand order. First, he is a man who will give all his time to the order. Second, his ability can not be excelled as a man who has come up through all the avenues of the order. That man is the Hon. Geo. E. Temple, of St. Louis. We call special attention to the Southern railway. The officers of the road have worked hard to secure the present rates for the order of the U. B. F. and S. M. T., and we trust that all will take advantage of the low rates. Remember to avoid the Jim Crow car law. We will not come in contact with it, if you buy your tickets at 719 Olive street. Remember, this road has made all the necessary requirements, and for these comforts we should be thankful. We take pleasure in introducing the firm of L. Nelson & Co., which is doing a great business in our city, and which appeals to our people and asks for their patronage. This is our bounden duty, where all things are equal. We ask for Mr. Nelson such recognition and support - Editor Wheeler. MR. JOHN B.

ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES Sunday, May the 27th, at 8 p. m. Rev. S. P. Anderson delivered a splendid sermon from Exodus, 2nd chapter and 9th verse. Many good thoughts were brought out, such as when, what, how and why, to do for children. Each was beautifully explained, in fact the sermon was an echo from a mothers' meeting, that was held a few evenings before at Antioch church. Rev. Anderson highly indores the line of work taken up by the women. The meeting held was an open one, and quite a number of men were present. There will be a grand rally at Antioch church, Sunday, June 3. There will be three services. At 11 a. m. Rev. David Johnson, pastor of Chanber Street church, will preach; at 8 p. m., Rev. Geo. E. Stevens, pastor of Central church, will preach, and at 8 p. m., Rev. Dr. W. P. T. Jones. Come one, come all. Rumor says one of Antioch's leading young ladies will soon leave this city to reside in the south, not as Miss but Mrs. May she live long and be happy. (A true friend.) Rev.

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. Who was the girl that followed the couple from the Newport to the dancing academy? One had red hair and wore glasses, the other had black hair. They came near having a tilt about a young man. The red-head girl was single. Oh, look out, we are on to you, and next week we will call your names. 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 flunkies are driven from among us the better for the race. Birds of a feather will flock together. Vernon was in St. Louis a few days ago. DEAD BEATS.

Man and Woman Who Are Said to Have Collected Testimony Tell of Packing House Scenes and Hint at Unprintable Information Possessed by Commission. Washington—Representative Sulzer, of New York, has introduced a resolution calling on the president, "if not incompatible with the public interest," to send to the house at his earliest convenience the reports of Charles P. Nelll and James B. Reynolds, "in connection with their investigation of the Meat trust," stock yards and the meat packing industry." The Meat trust scandal, as it is now called, is creating no end of sensation and comment. The president, it is said, has told confidential friends that much of the report is unprintable; that it would shock the nation. Telegrams and letters are being received by senators and representatives to urge on the president to make the entire report public. The opinion is expressed that it would not be a bad idea that constituents flood their representatives and senators with these requests, by mail and telegraph, and then the president would understand that the people were willing to know just what they have been eating. MR. AND MRS. BLOOM'S STORY. Were Sent to Chicago to Collect Testimony For Commission. New York—Mr. and Mrs. Richard Bloor, at the instance of Upton Sinclair, collected facts for the president's agents and planned their investigation at the Chicago packing houses. Mr. and Mrs. Bloor live in Washington Crossing, Pa., a village about eight miles from Trenton, N. J. They went to Chicago just a week before the commissioners, lived with packing house employees, obtained testimony and remained during the examination of the principal witnesses. "When the commission was named," Mrs. Blcor explained, while her husband approved her statements, "Mr. Sinclair asked us to go to Chicago to represent him. He had been asked to go himself by the president, who wished to see that the commissioners had every facility for obtaining the information they desired, but was unable to get away. "Mr. Blcor and mysdf had read Mr. Sinclair's book and had talked Packingtown conditions over with him, so we were somewhat prepared for the revelations which awaited us. No words are adequate to paint the horrors of the racking houses. "The very first day, through a letter from Mr. Sinclair, I obtained from a relative of a man up in one of the packing houses some formulas for renovating putrid meats and preserving dubious meat. These formulas were all turned over to the commissioners. Here is the recipe for preserving pork ribs for export: "One hundred gallons of water; 30 pounds of salt; 15 pounds of saltpeter; 20 pounds of borax; 20 pounds of boracic acid. The World Eats This. "Kidneys are thrown into this mixture until there is no room for more. From this man I also learned that when most spoiled meat is received in the summer it is at once taken to the "morgue" in what is known as 'No. 12' house. Then it goes to the sausage room, then to the cellar of No. 32 house. There it is renovated and the stench removed, then it passes on to its ultimate destiny—the feeding of the world. "Spoiled smoked meat goes to smoke-house No. 2. Sour hams are auctioned off. Pickled Trimmings—Sausage. "Pickled trimmings, as we showed the commissioners by witnesses, are made of the bruises cut out from meat and diseased spots, such as lumpy jaws. For every 100 pounds of sausage, this witness told us, 15 pounds of salt were used, two pounds of sugar, four pounds of borax, one pound of boracic acid and one pound of saltpeter. The cure for hog livers for export, dissolved in 2,240-gallon vats of water, is: 480 pounds of salt; 125 pounds of borax, 30 pounds of boracic acid; 15 pounds of FRENCH CHURCH AND STATE A Plenary Council to Decide Upon the Attitude of the Church to the Government. Paris, France.—A plenary council, composed of 77 French bishops, which will decide upon what attitude the church shall assume toward the government as the result of the separation of church and state, has opened at the archbishopric. The cardinals of Paris, Lyons and Bordeaux presided. Twenty-Two Drowned. Conception, Chill.—The British sailing ship Lismore, Capt. Cowell, from Melbourne, April 21, for Coronel, has been wrecked at Santa Maria. Twenty-two of the crew were drowned, including all the officers, except the first mate. Landed Shipwrecked Crew. Funchal, Island of Madela, —The British steamer St. Oswald arrived here and landed the crew of the abandoned British schooner Canadian, 'Capt. Connelly, from Cadiz, May 16, for St. John's, N. F. saltpeter. "There are other formulas equally appetizing which are submitted to the commissioners, and will doubtless form part of their report. Human Flesh For Land. "One witness told the commissioners that he knew of a case in which two members of the same family had fallen into the lard vats and had been partially rendered into lard. The first to lose his life was a boy, nine years old, who stumbled into one of the rendering vats while taking dinner to his father. The father fell in some months later. "There is no telling how many men met death in this way. There was a case only a week before we reached Chicago in which a man fell into a tank, and the room was closed while the remnants—mostly bones—were fished out." Widow Got $2,500. Mr. Bloor said: "I heard of the case in a saloon, and after drinking with a workman who was in the place until he got pretty communicative, he told me he would take me to the man who was working beside the unfortunate fellow, and who helped fish out what was left of him. He did take me to this man, to whom I represented myself as the agent of a benefit company. I gave the commission the name of the witness. "He readily stated that he had witted the death, and gave me the name of the widow, who received, he said $2,500 from the company." "Potted Chicken." Mrs. Bloor, consulting her memorandum book, then told of the testimony submitted to the commission by a man who had worked for some years on the killing floor in one of the big packing houses. His first employment there was to pick up legs, and the commissioners heard his story in full. He told them that "slunk" or unborn calves, were always utilized. "They are taken out of the carcasses and doped up," were his exact words. Then they went to the potted chicken Another Dainty. "After this the witness went to the produce department, where chickens, butter, eggs and butterine are handled. He said that when chickens came in large quantities many of them would be dead and spoiled. When they were so far decomposed that they could not be handled without dropping apart, they were taken to the refrigerating plant and frozen solid. Then they were deodorized and turned out as canned chicken—not potted chicken, but chicken in pieces. He said formaldehyde and other stuff was used 'to take the smell away.' "Killing Dead Cattle." "There were several grades in the butterline department, he said. The principal ingredients, of course, was oleo. Oleo is made from scraps of fat swept from the floor and barrel scrapings of strong butter, which had been deodorized. Butterline. "I wrote out the testimony of a very intelligent man, taken before a witness who did not wish to go before the commission, and presented it myself. He had worked for 17 years on the killing floor and said that he had often 'killed dead cattle.' This was in one of the trust houses, and according to him, four or five of these dead cattle were usually cut up every day. Cattle came up so badly diseased that they were hard to handle. He is what is known as a 'header', it being his business to cut the heads from the bodies of the animals. High Priced Tongue. "Often in doing the cutting, when the carcass was that of an animal which had suffered from lumpy jaw, he would strike into the abscesses accidentally and the putrid matter would fly all over him. These carcasses went right along, he said, and everything was used but the abscess. The tongues are sold as high-priced tongues. Newspaper Woman's Story. "Miss Bertha Wilkins, a newspaper woman, who sought and obtained work in the trimmed meat department of one of the trust establishments, appeared before the commission. She described conditions which were simply unprintable. Too Revolting For Publication. Mr. Bloor described conditions as he had learned them from employees, tending to show that there was absolutely no barrier between the sexes, and that such a thing as modesty was impossible amid the surroundings of the workers. He told a story which bears out in every particular the Washington story that some of the features of the Neill-Reynolds report are too revolting for publication—too revolting, almost, to be believable. Riga, Russia.—A small, overloaded steamer capsized off a pier here, drowning 15 persons. The boat had just started for Dublin, a neighboring watering place, when she keeled over and sank. Eleven bodies were recovered from below the decks when the steamer was raised. The Pope and France. Rome.—Pope Leo X. is disposed to accept the French church and state separation law, under certain conditions that France is willing to grant. The vatican hopes that a resumption of diplomatic relations will follow. Labor Strike in Porto Rico. San Juan, Porto Rico.—Agricultural strikers are seriously interfering with work on the sugar plantations in the Arcigbo district. The police are handling the situation with much difficulty. JEWS CHEATED AND THEY DON'T KNOW IT THINK THEY EAT KOSHER SAUSAGE, BUT THEY DONT. GOTHAM PACKERS ON EDGE Members of the Butchers' Union Know Things, But Are Not Willing to Lose Their Jobs By Testifying Under Oath. New York.—Among the entire membership of the Butchers' union, not one man can be found who is willing to testify under oath as to conditions existing in two-thirds of the hogslaughtering and sausage-making establishments in Greater New York and its vicinity. Nor is there one who does not know that a large part of the product for home consumption is as unwholesome as anything ever sent out from Chicago. One of the members of the union, who has been employed for five years in an establishment which makes a speciality of "kosher," or orthodox Jewish 'sausage, shrugged his shoulders when asked if he would subscribe to a sworn statement of his recital of conditions where he worked. "No," he exclaimed, "I have a wife and eight children. I am paid $12 a week. I make sausage for the Jews, and I know it is not kosher, although I am not a Jew myself. I do not say the meat is unclean or diseased, because I do not see it killed, but the sausage is made from parts of the animal which the rabbi prohibits. We cheat the Jews and they don't know it." "It is unreasonable to expect a workman, with a family dependant upon him, to reveal the secrets of his employer when his sole reward would be dismissal," said George A. Christian, secretary of the union. What boss would give him work, if he told the truth as he knows it, and as we all know it? "This agitation in Chicago has set the packers in New York on edge, and they will now fall over themselves to make a good showing in their places. You may go through any one of them that was rotten last summer and you will find it as clean as it can be made—that is, in the parts you are permitted to enter. But the parts closed to the public view are just the same as ever." WAIT ON FEDERAL COURT Cases of Western Federation of Miners' Officials Postponed Pending Supreme Court's Decision. Caldwell, Idaho. — When the cases of Charles H. Moyer, William D. Haywood and George A. Pettibone, charged with the murder of former Gov. Frank Steenenberg, came up in the district court, Thursday, counsel for the prosecution, acting on the suggestion made on Tuesday by Presiling Judge Frank Smith, filed a motion for a continuance on the ground that the habeas corpus proceedings instituted in the federal courts in behalf of the defendants are still pending and served as a bar to further proceedings in the state courts until a decision had been rendered by the federal supreme court. Judge. Smith granted the motion, and exceptions were entered by the defense and allowed. Bail was denied, and the prisoners will remain in the Ada county jail at Boise. FIRE PANIC IN A CHICAGO HOTEL Chicago.—Fire that started in a clothes closet on the second floor of the Windsor-Clifton hotel, Monroe street and Wabash avenue, shortly before 3 a.m., spread between the walls to the fourth floor. The bellboys were ordered to arouse all guests and assist them to safety. A general panic among the guests followed the discovery of the fire and many fled half-clad into the office of the hotel. Others, in their night robes, ran to the fire escapes and prepared to leap if the fire spread. The firemen confined the flames to the fourth floor. The damage is estimated at $2,000. A WRIT OF SUPERSEDEAS Execution of Sentence on Messrs. Greene and Gaynor Temporarily Stayed.

PLACE.—On border of country of Tyre and Jadadon, 40 or 50 miles northwest of Sea of Galler. Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 24. "From thence . . . went." From Capernaum or its vicinity, Jesus and the twelve went into the neighborhood of Tyre. "Borders." The country district within the domain of the cities named. "Would have no man know it." He did not wish notoriety of any sort. He had come hither that He might quietly teach His apostles. "Could not be hid." It soon became known that the great Healer was there. V. 25. "For." What is about to be told brought Him such fame that it probably accounts for his brief stay in this region. In the Rev. Ver., this verse begins with "But straightway." Immediately upon hearing of His arrival, a woman who had a great need sought Him out. "Young daughter." A little child. "Had an unclean spirit." She was the victim of what was known as demoniacal possession. "Heard of Him." Perhaps she or her neighbors had been among those who flocked to Galilee to see and hear Jesus (Mark 3:8). V. 26. "A Greek." Probably she spoke the Greek language. "Syrophoenician." She was a Phoenician by race, and lived in the political division known as Syria; some other Phoenicians lived in northern Africa, and were termed Libyo-Phoenicians. "Besought Him." By combining Matthew's account with that of Mark, we see that the following conversation took place: Woman—Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. Jesus remains silent. Disciples—Send her away, for she crieth after us. Jesus (to disciples)—I am not sent but into the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Woman (worshiping)—Lord, help me! Jesus (to woman)—Let the children first be filled; for it is not meet to take the children's bread and to cast it unto the dogs. Woman—Truth, Lord; yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. Jesus—O, woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. Go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. As we see how Jesus tried the woman, first by His silence, then by apparent rebuff, we feel sure that He was trying to bring her into "the household of faith," that she, as well as her daughter, might be blessed. V. 27. "Let the children first be filled." Jesus' words to the disciples (see above), which she had heard, would give her to understand that He meant Gentiles must wait until Israelites were provided for. "Not meet." Not fitting. "Unto the dogs." The Jews thought that they alone were children of God, and they called people of other nations "dogs," to indicate that their lives were unclean, and perhaps that they "barked" at true Godliness. V. 28. "She answered." One of weak faith might have gone home discouraged or-perhaps resentful, but this woman's faith was energized by mother-love, and she was ready to bear anything if she might gain her daughter's restoration. "Yes, Lord." She agreed to what Jesus said, and addressed Him as the sovereign Lord of mankind. "Yet the dogs," etc. The woman humbly accepts what He says and from the truth of the proverb draws a new plea. 29. "For this saying." Because of the faith and love shown by this saying. Jesus was greatly pleased by her faith, for it put her where He could bless her; she had opened her heart to Him. See Matthew's rendering in our Golden Text. "The devil is gone out." Jesus had not seen or touched the child, but He assures the mother that she is cured. V. 30. "Was come to her house." Believing Jesus' word, she hastened homeward and found her daughter, released from her malady, "lald"—or more literally "thrown"—upon the bed. Probably a convulsion had accompanied her release. What a happy home that humble cottage now became! Note the obstacles which this woman overcame: (1) Nationality; she was to Jews a foreigner. (2) Religion; she was a Canaanite and pagan. (3) Speech; she was a Greek, a Gentile. (4) Sex; she was a woman, and not accustomed to appear in public. Beyond all these, Jesus, Himself, seemed to put obstacles in her way. Practical Points. V. 25. Sooner or later Christ and the seeking soul are sure to meet.—1 Chron. 28:9. V. 26. Each soul is tormented by demons of sin, which only Christ can cast out.—Rom. 7:24. 25. V. 27. When Jesus seems deaf to our cry, He is opening the way and awaiting the time for sending the largest possible answer—Jas. 1:3, 4. V. 28. Every difficulty surmounted lifts us higher, makes our faith stronger.—I Pet. 1:7. V. 29. Nothing can stand before one who depends on God.—I John 5:4. NEGRO NEWSPAPERS OF THE UNITED STATES. We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command. There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each..... 30 Illinois and North Carolin, 12 each..... 24 Mississippi..... 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas..... 12 Missouri..... 9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each..... 18 Washington, D.

DO NOT THINK OF BUYING a DO NOT WAIT $8.50 with weekly white papers of this country. Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispense news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and brilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. 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. Notice the thick rubber tread "A" and puncture strips "B" and "D," also rim strip "H" to prevent rim cutting. This will antitact any other make. SOFT, LASTIC and EASY RIDING. PHYSICAL PERFECTION. It Is Well One Keep an Ideal of Physical Beauty, Sound Health and Quiet Nerves. It is surely a good thing to feel that one has a straight spine, well-rounded figure, and beautifully shaped limbs, with muscles that are well developed, but not overdeveloped, and under perfect control. A body that is ready for use and in fine condition for work—a nervous system that is to be trusted even in an emergency—and a mind that is capable of taking and keeping command of the whole. Surely, indeed, it is a good thing to be able to rejoice in beauty of all kinds and be able to rely upon one's own strength of nerve and muscle, as well as coolness and judgment; to be self-reliant, decided and confident, a very wall of strength for weaker ones to leap upon and trust. Bodily perfection is not to be sneered at nor laughed to scorn; neither is it to be looked upon as one of Satan's many devices to tempt the weak, for all things good and beautiful come of God, and, though many may pervert and misuse the gift—and in time even destroy it—still the gift of 'beauty is A FAIR WOMAN. one of God's own creation, and we have a right to rejoice in it. It is indeed right that we should love the beautiful and try to become daily more beautiful ourselves. To improve our looks and bearing in every possible way, to make the most of every tiny talent we possess, is our duty, and, making the most of them, we should use them for the good of the world—as a means of uplifting humanity, not debasing it; therefore, we must be watchful of ourselves lest our own comeliness work us evil, and through self-love and gratulation we become the abject slaves of vanity—for her slaves are neither lovely nor lovable, and constantly work toward their own harm and the final destruction of their own charms. The honest desire to possess a strong body and sound physique, a clear complexion, and good nerves will, nay, must, result in a determined effort to lead a pure life—following the laws of health, abstaining from hurtful indulgence of all kinds, exercising regularly, eating slowly, and being temperate in all things. Aside from the physical benefits to be gained from such a life, think of the moral gain, the daily strengthening of the will and conscience, the steady building of character by constant acts of self-restraint and denial. Let us resolve to get out in the open air every day of our lives this coming year, if possible; to sleep in well-ventilated rooms, to exercise daily, eat slowly, control the fretful temper and quick tongue; to take such care of our temporal welfare as our circumstances will allow, to improve in appearance, disposition and health—to live for others more than for self, and to think of our physical education as an imperative duty that we owe to the world, ourselves, and our God. Let us 'live in the present," but let us so live that we build for the future strong characters in strong bodies. Of an Old Silk Petticoat Or an Old Silk Petticoat. The girl with nothing a year should know that silk petticoats and linings when reduced to shreds and utterly unequal to their first purpose can be utilized for millinery of Corday and other shapes with very little picking over. The ruffles or goffered portions which remain intact are specially serviceable. One.girl who is wearing a very becoming silk hat of this kind for theater and other evening affairs confessed to her women friends that it was evoked from a wormout petticoat and arranged over a frame made from a pasteboard bandbox. Too Thin Leanness is caused generally by lack of power in the digestive organs to digest and assimilate the fat producing elements of food. First restore digestion, take plenty of sleep, drink all the stomach will bear in the morning on rising, take moderate exercise in the open air, eat oatmeal, cracked wheat, graham mush, baked sweet apples, roasted and broiled beef, cultivate jolly people and bathe daily. Gucumber Lotion Take three cucumbers and cut them up in little bits. Put in water and let them simmer for 15 minutes or until the water has simmered down to a pint. Strain; let cool, and add six drops of benzoin to a pint of cucumber juice. If you wish to make it very nice you can add ten drops of benzoin and half a cup of orange water. This makes a very nice skin lotion. Bride's Luncheon The usual hour for a luncheon is half after one o'clock. A bride giving a luncheon for her bridesmaids may invite other friends, but it is not usual to do so. TO HAVE PRETTY HANDS. The fascination of a hand that is perfect in color is one that cannot be denied. The stage women recognize this and they paint their hands white, dipping them in liquid cream and afterward in powder to make them look the more marblesque. They try to have hands which look as though sculptured out of stone. The hand, seen from the wrong side of the footlights, must be firm in appearance, even, smooth and dignified. Undignified hands are twitching hands, hands that are uneasy, hands that are always fiddling with something, hands that are always on the move. Such hands can never be admired, for they are restless, and though the restless moving hand may sometimes be pretty, it is never the stately dignified hand. A perfect hand, according to Pierrot, a sculptor of pretty hands, must excel in these respects, named in order according to merit. First, in smoothness or quality. The skin must be perfectly even like marble. Second, in color, which should be according to the style of the complexion, white, cream, brunette or olive. It can also be pink, or rosy, but never, must it, on any account be red. Third, a perfect hand must be perfect in shape. The palm must be plump, yet not pudgy, and the fingers must be long and tapering toward the tips. The finger cannot well be too long, nor too tapering, the longer and more pointed the better as far as the hands are concerned. Fourth, a perfect hand must be graceful. The fingers must act independently. Particularly should the third finger be inclined to curl a little, which is always a good point in a hand. Compact, heavy, solid fingers are never pretty. Fifth, a perfect hand should have a very delicate wrist, not bony nor too heavily veined. The wrist should be round and without the wrist or knuckle bone. In looking at the hand closely there is a sixth point which must be noted and this is the shape of the fingers. They should be round and not flat. And the nails must be long and curved, not round and sharp. Seventh, the hand should be perfectly kept. A hand that is not well kept cannot be beautiful. It should be kept not only very well indeed, but very intelligently. Many beautiful hands are spoiled by the lack of intelligent care. Women usually suppose that manicuring is the whole thing. As a matter of fact it plays only a small part in the appearance of the hand. It is something and it is a necessary something but it is not all. It is the woman herself who must rub the emollient into the nails at night. It is the owner of the hands—and the owner only—who can apply a very light carbolized lotion once a day. It is the owner who can put on gloves and protect the hands from grime and dirt. And it is the owner who can learn repose of the hands. The manicure.must shape the nails to match the tips of the fingers; the manicure may tint the nails; the manicure may treat them to keep from showing white spots and from cracking; and the manicure can make up the little bleaching preparations which are so necessary. But the owner of the hands must be intelligent in her care of them or she will never have pretty hands. NEAT LITTLE FROCK.

You Look Prematurely Old A WOMAN'S ORDEAL A WOMAN'S ORDEAL Thousands Write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and Receive Valuable Advice Absolutely Confidential and Free There can be no more ordeal ordeal to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions in regard to her private ills, even when those questions are asked by her family physician, and many Mrs T.C.Willadsen continue to suffer rather than submit to examinations which so many physicians propose in order to intelligently treat the disease; and this is the reason why so many physicians fail to cure female disease. This is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corresponding with Mrs Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can confide every detail of their illness, and from her great knowledge, obtained from years of experience in treating female ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women more wisely than the local physician. Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs. T. C. Willadsen of Manning, Ia. She writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I can truly say that you have saved my life, and cannot express my gratitude in words. But I will still tell you how I felt. I had doctored for over two years steady, and spent lots of money in medicines besides, but it all failed to do any good. I had female trouble and would daily have fainting spells, backache, bearing-down pains, and my monthly periods were very irregular and finally ceased. I wrote to you for your advice and received a letter full of instructions what to do, and also commenced to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and have been restored to perfect health. When you I would have been in my grave today. Mountains of proof establish the fact that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for restoring women's health. NUGGETS OF KNOWLEDGE. There are ladies' smoking cars on English railways. Alligator, a popular native dish in India, tastes like veal. The wood used in the best pianos has been seasoned 40 years. Those who reach 30 in good health are likely, statistics show, to last to 73. Over 200,000 pounds of human hair, valued at $500,000, is sold annually in Paris. The majority of criminals can draw and paint. That is why artists can rarely get credit. In many parts of Switzerland the government buries the dead, supplying coffins and undertaker free of cost. TORTURED WITH ECZEMA Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body —Scratched Until Bled—Wonderful Cure by Cuticura. "Last year I suffered with a tremendous itching on my back, which grew worse and worse, until it spread over the whole body, and only my face and hands were free. For four months or so I suffered torments, and I had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until I had to night when I went to bed things got worse. I had to get up and scratch my body all over, until I was as sore as could be, and until I suffered excruciating pains. They told me that I was suffering from eczema. Then I made up my mind that I would use the Cuticura Remedies. I used them according to instructions, and very soon inundated, and I continued until well, and now I am ready to mend the Cuticura Remedies to any one.

HOMELY PHILOSOPHY. It isn't always lucky to trust people who trust to luck. Romance is sweet sixteen, religion is sixty if she's a day. Happy is he who never knows when he gets the worst of it. A great achievement doesn't need a brass band accompaniment. Most of us expect better obituary notices than are coming to us. Those who yield to temptation are generally looking for a chance. The optimist looks forward to tomorrow, the pessimist sighs for yesterday. There might not be so much room at the top if there were fewer cushions at the bottom. Most of us are dissatisfied, some with what we have and some with what we haven't. The present gets away from a lot of people while they sit on park benches worrying about the future.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. DIFFERENCE OF DEGREE. Both Parted Their Hair in the Middle, But One's Part Was Much the Wider. One of the veteran lawyers of Burlington, Vt., is A. V. Spalding, writes F. H. Kelsey of Lowell, in the Boston Globe. One day when he was trying a case in the Chittenden county court he called as a witness a stylishly dressed young man who parted his hair in the middle, a practice that used to be regarded as indicative of a "dude." The young man, however, gave his testimony in a plain, straight-forward manner and resumed his seat. When the argument came to be made by the counsel opposed to Mr. Spalding, reference was made in a peculiarly cutting manner to the foppish looking witness who parted his hair in the middle. On rising to reply, Mr. Spalding said: "I fail to see how the fact that this young man parts his hair in the middle has any bearing in this case. He certainly has a right to part his hair in the middle, and he parts it exactly as my brother on the other side does his, only," he added, pointing to the perfectly bald head of the opposing lawyer, "he doesn't part it quite so wide." ALMOST A CATASTROPHE. Exuberance of Love Spasmodically Manifested Results in Mortification. She was seated in the gloaming, a happy smile on her pretty, pensive face, when her elderly aunt entered. Then, as she looked upon the kind old face, a feeling rushed upon her that she must share her wonderful news with somebody—she must let someone into the secret which till then had been the sole possession of herself and Harold. She sprang up and flung her arms about her aunt's neck. But only an alarming gurgle came from the old lady for a moment. Then she said, gasping indignantly: "Kiss you, if you ain't careful I'll shake the life out of you. You very nearly made me swallow my teeth!" Charitable Player By some means a mother and daughter managed to gain access to Paderewski's sanctum. The mother was proud of her daughter and the daughter had aspirations. She desired Paderewski's opinion of her skill. Paderewski listened, or appeared to, while the mother beat time approvingly. At last, with a final crash, the girl ross from the stool and the mother flushed with pleasure. "Tell me," she whispered to the artist, "tell me in confidence. What do you think of her?" Amiably the artist rubbed his hands together. "I think she must be very charitable. Surely she lettett not her left hand know what her right hand doeth." Her Legal Status.

It will be of interest to the readers of the Palladium to know that plains 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 Gayet 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 Gayety 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 A'rdome 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 Airdrome theater and the one which is in contemplation for the coming season. This summer theater will be erect- THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY THESALONIAN BAPTIST CHURCH Installation at Thessalonian Baptist Church Sunday. The Thessalonian Baptist church, corner of Jefferson and Scott avenues, was greeted with a great congregation last Sunday evening. Miss Walser, who has been organist of the German Lutheran Evangelical church for some time, presided at the organ and rendered excellent music, very much to the delight of the great congregation. Rev. E. Calvin Cole delivered a fine sermon from the subject, "Opening of the Books in the Judgment." At the close of the sermon he opened the doors of the church and eleven persons came forward and united with the church. Words of praise and congratulation on behalf of the new church were heard on every side. Many people living on Randolph, Scott, Adams, Eugenia, Walnut, Market, Chestnut, Twenty-third, Twenty-second and Twenty-first street; expressed themselves as more than pleased that the Thessalonian church has succeeded in securing this magnificent property, and promised substantial support. Dr. Cole has canvassed the neighborhood in the immediate vicinity of the church, and he believes that one of the largest Sunday schools in the city will soon be in operation there. Some of the best people in St. Louis ed 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 construction of the winter theater is already short, it has been decided by the management of the Gayety 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 Gayety 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 Gayety 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.

The Thessalonian church will take permanent possession of their property, Jefferson and Scott avenues, next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. It will be a great occasion. Rev. Dr. A. E. Green, formerly professor of ancient languages in "Western Baptist College." will deliver the installation sermon. Dr. Green is a graduate of Colby University in Maine, and is recognized as one of the most scholarly men of the race. The ministers of all denominations, together with their churches, are cordially invited to be present and bid the new church "God speed" on her mission of soul saving. Any person that cannot see a bright future for this church is either unrighteously jealous, prejudiced, or very dull of comprehension. The church hereby appeals to the public to assist them in raising $300 next Sunday. We failed to state that at the close of the devotional service last Sunday evening the Thessalonian church took up a public collection of thirty-four ($34) dollars.
