St. Louis Palladium

ST LOUIS PALLADIUM WRIGHT & BOLEN, Druggists, SOMETHING NEW. Vol. XXII. No. 26. SOMETHI All the details for the erection of the Airdome theater for the exclusive use of the Colored people of St. Louis have been completed and the work of construction will be finished this week so that the theater may be opened on the evening of Sunday night, June 19. The site selected for this experimental venture in the way of furnishing a special theater for Colored people is at the corner of Twenty-second and Pine streets. No better location for the undertaking could have been selected as it is in the very heart of the down town district, and easily accessible to all parts of the city. Several lines of cars run close to it, and the neighborhood is quiet, and the site is high and breezy. The bookings for the season are now being made, and the very best vaudeville talent possible will be obtained. The list already includes a large number of high class acts and negotiations are pending to fill in all the time with the same kind. To secure sufficient Samuel Sexton, 2129 Market street. P. L.

The greatest feature of the evening was the Mount Olive Drill Corps, under command of Capt. Mrs. Mary Monroe, who again presented that famous company to the public. Too much can not be said of these ladies who are preparing to go to Lexington, Ky., in July, to bring back any prize that may be awarded. We congratulate the committee on their success. It seemed as if they were bent on making every body happy. Capt. C. H. Tandy, Capt. J. G. Horton and Col. R. C. Carter were the judges. They pronounced the drill perfect and the commanding officer, Mrs. Mary Monroe, was cool and collected and gave her commands so that every one in the company knew their duty at once. PEDAGOGICAL INSTITUTE. The Colored institute for the special training of teachers will begin at Montgomery City, Mo., July 9, 1906, and continue two weeks. The grades received in the institute are accepted by the county board when applicants apply for certificates. Instruction first class and everything guaranteed. Board reasonable in the best homes.

With such arrangements as this being perfected, it ought to be able to make such a showing this summer, that those who are interested in the construction of a first class theater for Colored people will feel warranted in going ahead with the formation of a company to build the new theater. It would be folly, however, to think of such a plan if the Colored citizens do not demonstrate this summer at the Airdome theater that they are interested. The advance sale of seats on the subscription plan for the opening week is already good, but it should be large if it is intended to show at once what the feeling is. These seats are on sale at the box office of the Gayety theater, and also at the following well-known places: Joe Howard, Twenty-third and Chestnut streets.

LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES The baccalaureate sermon will be delivered Sunday, June 17, by Bishop Altram Grant, of the Fifth Episcopal district. The bishop needs no word of praise, and all who know of his sterling worth or who have heard him once are anxious to hear him again and again. The senior banquet to the president and faculty completed a round of entertainments that has added much to the social life of the institution, and that, conducted in a practical manner, is just as much a part of the legitimate work which the education of a first-class school should furnish its students as that which comes through the text-book. --- President Allen gave the annual address at the closing exercises of the Colored public school of Mexico, Mo.; Prof. I. L. Hicks, principal. The local papers gave a very interesting account of the exercises, referring in the most complimentary terms to President Allen as an educator and to his scholarly address, which they pronounced one of the best heard in Mexico. Commencement season opened auspiciously Friday, June 1, with the closing exercises of the model school. The little folks, principally children of the citizens of Jefferson City, acquitted themselves with much credit to their instructors, and their exhibit of industrial work in the form of raffa hats, sewing and other useful and ornamental articles, as well as their drawing, penmanship, etc., gave evidence that the senior class of 1906 is well prepared to go forth to teach in the schools of Missouri and other states. Students and teachers are rounding up a year of strenuous work, and final examinations will soon be at hand. Summer school students are already matriculating, hoping to gain a little on their fellows by coming early; and thus does Lincoln Institute bear out its name as a professional training school with an approximately continuous session—an institution where students have exceptional advantages to study and at the same time make all or part of their expenses. Especially is this true of the young men, who, besides finding steady employment in the homes of leading white citizens, frequently find it possible to make extra money by attendance upon the various social functions that occur in the capital city. Mrs. Folk, wife of his excellency, Gov. Folk, has on several occasions employed the institute young men, and has very highly commended the young men and the service ren- ST.

R. recently in sossion, and is always well paid. There are few higher institutions of learning so situated that the students may thus make expenses while giving daily attendance in the classroom. THE NEGRO JEFFERSON CLUB. Last Friday night the members of the Jefferson club gave a special entertainment to their friends. The club was decorated very elaborately, really they had more decoration than the whole democratic convention. Mr. Chas. Ming was chairman of the reception committee. The programme was carried out in perfect order. Hon. George B. Jones, who has gained much notoriety of late was the first speaker. His remarks were well received, and he tried hard to be a leader. Several times he intimated that leaders were learned and not made. The conclusion was he was a leader. He made several good points. Next came the renowned Prof. Jas. Murphy, who favored the audience with a solo; it is needless to say that he captivated his hearers. He is indeed a show within himself, and is all O. K. Any one wishing to be entertained should secure the services of Prof. Jas. Murphy. The athletic part of the programme should not be encouraged, as undue advantage may be taken of one who is not suspecting. In short, one of the boxers tried his best to knock out the other fellow when really it was not intended. Then came the dancing, where Mr. Harry Denny displayed his art of the two-step. He danced with Mrs. Maffit, of 403 South Ewing avenue, who is also a splendid dancer. Others present were: Mrs. Smith, of 3945 Fairfax; Miss Mahala Donohue, of 815 South Tenth street; Mrs. Edwards, of 2842 Laclede avenue; Mrs. Bradshaw, of 1415 Lucas avenue, as was the dashing Mrs. Geo. B. Jones, and many others. All seemed to enjoy dancing, and also tried to make others happy. Our reporter did not know many of the ladies and the gentlemen with their different ladies remained with them all the time and prevented the reporter from getting acquainted with them. Mr. W. H. Sexton took a group in the parlor, which was very beautiful. All the members of the club should buy one, and Bill Dye, who was so very conspicuous should buy two. It was at this point that all repaired to the second floor to partake of a splendid luncheon, where every one vied with each other to make the affair enjoyable. Harry Denny knows how to make his friends feel at home. The officers are: Wm. T. Maffitt, president; Chas. H. Morgan, vice-president; D. Coleman, second vice-president; D. F. Wells, third vice-president; Willis Smith, secretary; Wm. Chapman, treasurer; J. B. Thornton, assistant secretary. W. H. Saunders, Chance Weakley, Geo. Tucker, Milton P. Thomas, Calvin Branch, John Coleman, J. H. McClenahan, Wm. Jones, Wm. H. Wyle and John Horton comprised the entertainment committee. All passed quietly and we think better of them, but this club should subscribe for Negro journals, that they may get their eyes open to republican principles through the columns of the Palladium.

Since it has become my duty to accept of this cordial welcome which has been extended to me in behalf of Free Special Lodge No. 46, and St. Martha Lodge No. 5, U. B. F. and S. M. T. of this city, it certainly affords an unusual high degree of pleasure to appear before you to-day. Upon this stand, glorious and to me a momentous occasion to accept this welcome in behalf of this lodge and temple one year ago when this grand body assembled in this city in its Thanksgiving services. If pleasant faces and welcome greetings point as a criterion for hospitality then we are glad we are here amid the discordant notes and tumults, and worries of life, the disappointments of business, the treachery of those we some times come in contact with, the thousands of nameless ills that so often confront us, yet how pleasant it is to all of us, that once each year we are permitted to meet each other face to face. There are many true U. B. F. and S. M. T's who are not able to be present and enjoy the annual sermon, yet they are remembered in their absence by our chaplain in his prayer, and have our highest fraternal regard. Our sermon should be inspiring and should permeate each one of us with new vigor and a greater determination to go forth and do more for our noble order than Drugg $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents; [Image of a man in a suit, holding a book or document, with a serious expression.] 2333 Market Street.

President's Message and Neill=Reynolds Report Washington—The President on Monday, June 4, sent to Congress the report of Charles P. Neill, Commissioner of Labor, and John B. Reynolds, of New York, on the conditions of Chicago Packing Houses, accompanying the same with a special message. THE MESSAGE To the Senate and House of Representatives—I submit herewith the report of James Bonson Reynolds and Commissioner Charles P. Nelll, the special committee whom I appointed to investigate into the conditions in the stock yards of Chicago and report thereon to me. This report is of a preliminary nature. I submit it to you now because it shows the urgent need of immediate action by the congress in the direction of providing a drastic and thorough-going inspection by the federal government of all stock yards and packing houses and of their products, so far as the latter enter into interstate or foreign commerce. The conditions shown by even this short inspection to exist in the Chicago stock yards are revolting. It is imperatively necessary in the interest of health and decency that they should be radically changed. Before I had received the report of Messrs. Reynolds and Neill, I had directed that labels placed upon any package of food products should state only that the carcass of the animal from which the meat was taken had been inspected at the time of slaughter. If inspection of meat-food products at all stages of preparation is not secured by the passage of the legislation recommended, I shall feel compelled to order that inspection labels and certificates on canned products shall not be used hereafter. Under existing law the national government has no power to enforce inspection of the many forms of prepared meat-food products that are daily going from the packing houses into interstate commerce, and, owing to an inadequate appropriation, the department of agriculture is not even able to place inspectors in all establishments desiring them. The present law prohibits the shipment of uninspected meat to foreign countries, but there is no provision forbidding the shipment of uninspected meats in interstate commerce, and thus the avenues of interstate commerce are left open to traffic in diseased or spoiled meats. If, as been alleged on seemingly good authority, further evils exist, such as the improper use of chemicals and dyes, the government lacks power to remedy them. A law is needed which will enable the inspectors of the general government to inspect and supervise from the hoof to the can the preparation of the meat-food product. The evil seems to be much less in the sale of dressed carcasses than in the sale of canned and prepared products. In my judgment the expense of inspection should be paid by a fee levied on each animal slaughtered. If this is not done the whole purpose of the law can at any time be defeated through an insufficient appropriation and whenever there was no particular public interest in the subject it would be not only easy, but natural, thus to make the appropriation insufficient. If it were not for this consideration I should favor the government paying for it. The alarm expressed in certain quarters concerning this feature should be allayed by a realization of the fact that in no case, under such a law, would the cast of inspection exceed eight cents per head. I call special attention to the fact that this report is preliminary and that the investigation is still unfinished. It is not yet possible to report on the alleged abuses in the use of deleterious chemical compounds in connection with canning and preserving meat products, nor on the alleged doctoring in this fashion of tainted meats and of products returned to the packers as having grown unsalable from age or from other reasons. Grave allegations are made in reference to abuses of this nature. Let me repeat that under the present law there is practically no method of stopping these abuses if they should be discovered to exist. Legislation is needed in order to prevent the possibility of all abuses in the future. If no legislation is passed, then the excellent results accomplished by the work of this special committee will ensure only so long as the memory of the committee's work is fresh, and a recurrence of the abuse is absolutely certain. I urge the immediate enaction into law of provisions which will enable the department of agriculture to in- X., K. & T. Election.

I therefore commend to your favorable consideration and urge the enactment of substantially the provisions known as senate amendment No. 29 to the act making appropriations for the department of agriculture for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907, as passed by the senate, this amendment being commonly known as the Beveridge amendment. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. White House, June 4, 1904. THE REPORT Starting with the conditions in the yards, they say the pavements are mostly of brick, which invariably fill with manure and refuse, so that they cannot be properly cleaned, and are "slimy and malodorous when wet, yielding clouds of ill-smelling dust when dry." Calves, sheep and hogs that have died en route are thrown on the platforms, and the only excuse the investigators heard given for delay in removal was the expense. The interior of the buildings they found to be mostly constructed of wood. The floors, usually of wood, were soaked and slimy and the rooms poorly lighted and ill ventilated. Many of the inside rooms where food is prepared are without windows, and are described as "vaults where the air rarely changes." Systematic ventilation was not found in any of the establishments they visited. During the entire investigation they saw but a single porcelain-lined receptacle for meats. Sanitary Conveniences. Taking up the subjects of sanitary conveniences for the men and women employees, the report says nothing shows more strikingly the general indifference to matters of cleanliness and sanitation. The retiring rooms adjoin the working rooms, usually being cut off from the latter by a low partition. Many are located in the inside corners of work rooms and have no outside opening whatever. Continuing the report says: "Abominable as the above named conditions are the one that affects most directly and seriously the cleanliness of the food products is the frequent absence of any lavatory provisions in the outhouses. Washing sinks are either not furnished at all, or are small and dirty. Neither are towels, soap or toilet paper provided. Men and women return directly from these places to plunge their unwashed hands into the meat to be converted into such food products as sausages, dried beef and other compounds. Some of the outhouses are situated at a long distance from the work rooms, and men do not take the trouble to go to them. Hence, in some cases, the resulting fumes swell the sum of nauseating odors arising from the dirty blood-soaked, rotting wooden floors, fruitful culture beds for the disease germs of men and animals." Here the report suddenly switches to a brighter picture. It speaks of the contrast observed by Reynolds in an establishment visited by him in New York, where the rules of sanitation and cleanliness are most scrupulously observed, and where the ventilation was excellent and the light abundant. The Handling of Meat. The investigators found that there also absence of cleanliness everywhere in the handling of meat. On this point the report says: "The workers climb over heaps of meat, select the pieces they wish, and frequently thrown them down upon the dirty floor beside their working bench. In cutting the meat upon the bench the work is usually held pressed against their aprons, and these aprons were, as a rule, indescribably filth. Moreover men were seen to climb from the floor and stand with shoes dirty with the refuse on the floors, on the tables on which the meat was handled. They were seen at the lunch hour sitting on the tables on the spot on which meat product was handled, and all this under the very eye of the superintendent of the room. "We saw meat shoveled from filthy wooden floors, piled on tables, rarely washed, pushed from room to room in rotten box carts in all of which processes it was in the way of gathering dirt, splinters, floor filth and expectoration of tuberculosis and other diseased workers. Glaring Uncleanliness. A particularly glaring instance of uncleanliness was found in a room where the best grade of sausage was being prepared for export. In this case the employee carted the chopped-up meat across in a room in a barrow, the handles of which were filthy with grease. The meat was then thrown upon tables, and the employee climber upon the table, handled the meat with his unwashed hands, knelt with his dirty apron and trousers in contact with the meat he was spreading out, and after he had finished his operation again took hold of the dirty handles Sensational Suit Compromised. Marshall, Mo.—The suit for $10,000 brought by ex-State Senator Martin against Charles G. Patterson, former editor of the Democratic-News, as the result of a shooting scrape, has been compromised for the sum of $750. Boy Killed By His Brother. Houston, Tex.-Joel Freund, aged 7 years, was shot and killed by his 12-year-old brother, who had taken a small revolver from a drawer and was with it. of the wheelbarrow, went back for another load, and repeated this process indefinitely. Inquiry developed the fact that there was no water in this room at all, and the only method the man adopted for cleaning his hands was to rub them against his dirty apron or on his still filthier trousers. Methods of Inspection. Referring to methods of inspection, the report says that the radical defect in the present system is that it does not go far enough. It is confined by law to passing on the healthfulness of animals at the time of killing. During the process of preparing sausage and other products there is no government inspection, despite the fact that all the products when sent out bear a label stating that they have been passed upon by government inspectors. The phrase on the labels of canned products, "quality guaranteed," beneath the inspection mark, is pronounced to be wholly unwarranted and unjustifiable. The report says that the inspectors do not know what else may have been placed in the can in addition to "inspected meat." "In one establishment," says the report, "a pile of sausages and dry molly canned meats, admittedly several years old, were found, which the superintendent stated to us would be tanked and converted into grease. The disposition to be made of this was wholly optional with the superintendents or representatives of the packers, as the government does not concern itself with the disposition of meats after they have passed inspection on the killing floor. It might all be treated with chemicals, mixed with other meats, turned out in any form of meat product desired, and yet the packages or receptable in which it was to be shipped out to the public would be marked with a label that their contents had been 'government inspected.'" Tuberculosis. "The unsanitary condition in which the laborers work and the feverish pace which they are forced to maintain inevitably affect their health. Physicians state that tuberculosis is disproportionately prevalent in the stock yards and the victims of this disease expectorate on the spongy wooden floors of the dark work rooms, from which falling scraps of meat are lacer shoveled up to the converted into food products. "Girls and women were found in rooms registering a temperature of 38 F. without any ventilation whatever, depending entirely upon artificial light. The floors were wet and soggy and in some cases covered with water, so that the girls had to stand in boxes of sawdust as a protection of their feet. In many cases girls of 16, 17 and 18 years stand 10 hours a day at work, much of which could be carried on while sitting Lowers the Morals. "The neglect on the part of their employers to recognize or provide for the requirements of cleanliness and decency of the employees must have an effect which can not be exaggerated in lowering an effect which can not be in lowering the morals and discouraging cleanliness on the part of workers employed in the packing houses. "The report closes with a number of recommendations for remedial legislation, which are covered in the president's messages and the provisions of the Beveridge amendment. QUIET AGAIN AT CANANEA Eight of the Ringleaders Shot By Rurales, Who Die Shouting "Away With Mexico." Naco, Ariz.—Renewed trouble broke out at Cananea Sunday night between the striking Mexicans of Col. W. C. Greene's mines and the rurales under Col. Kosterlitsky. Five rioters were killed and 13 injured. One of the rurales was shot, but not seriously injured. The fight was resumed shortly before the arrival of 200 Mexican soldiers from Hermosillo. All of the American women of the town and many women of the higher class of Mexicans are quartered in the home of Col. Greene, which is under a heavy guard. Eight leaders of the Cananea rioters were lined up in front of a stone wall a short distance over the hills from Ronquilu and killed by a volley from the rifles of the rurales under the command of Kosteritlsky, who, it is reported, cried out as the shots were fired: "Vive le Mexico, so perish all traitors." Without fear the doomed men replied as one man: "To h— with the government. Away with Mexico." Russian Government and Donna.

THE OPERATORS STAND PAT They Declare There Will Be No Wavering, and the Miners Will Stand Out For the 1903 Scale. Columbus, O.-The joint scale conference of the Ohio miners and operators ended, Thursday afternoon, in a complete disagreement. Both sides declared that the fight is now on to a finish. Stand For 1903 Scale. The miners' convention voted unanimously to stand out for the 1903 scale, and it was decided to assess all miners now at work in the state five percent. of their wages for the support of the strikers. The national organization will also contribute $20,000 a week to the strikers. The operators also held a conference, and Chairman Winder announced that there would be no wavering among the "stand pat" operators. To Close Company Stores. The Sunday Creek Coal Co., of which Mr. Winder is chairman, decided to close all the stores owned by the company in the Hocking Valley at once. Up to this time these stores have been kept open, and striking miners have been allowed a limited credit. Telegrams were sent to the company's mines in West Virginia, instructing the superintendents to post notices that the mines would be open to both union and non-union miners without discrimination. AN IOWA COUNTY STRUCK BY TORNADO Decorah, Ia.—Between four-thirty and five o'clock, Wednesday afternoon, a tornado struck Winneshik county, doing much damage and injuring a number of people. Reports of the storm did not reach here until Thursday, when it was learned that within a few miles of Locust, 12 miles north, not less than $50,000 damage was done. Edward Thorson's barn and residence were destroyed and all persons in the house were injured. At Kittie Sorenson's the barn and windmill were blown away. On the farm treated by Eldine Ellingson the house, two barns and outbuildings were demolished. Mrs. Carrie Luros and Louis Larson each lost a barn and D. T. Manning's residence was blown down.

Dalton formerly a local politician, and Lewis A. Gourdain, of Louisiana, were each sentenced in the United States district court to four and one-half years in the penitentiary, and to pay a fine of $21,500 each, for using the mails to defraud—selling options on oil lots which did not exist. Gourdain asked the court to give him the limit of imprisonment under the law, and Judge Landis accommodated him. Gourdain previously declared that if convicted he would ask the court for the extreme sentence, serve his time and then exterminate his family. BLAZE AT HOPKINSVILLE, KY.

Fox holds that fraternal insurance societies need not pay policies on which the holders have allowed the premiums to lapse. Old line companies and regular life insurance concerns are liable because the state law provides that the money earned by paid in insurance can be applied toward keeping the insurance alive. The case decided was that of Mary L. Westerman, who secured a judgment in the St. Louis court against the supreme lodge Knights of Pythias for $5,236,27 for insurance on the life of her husband, J. P. Westermann. The case was appealed to the supreme court. More than a year ago Judge Marshall filed an opinion in division No. 1 holding that this society was on a par with regular life insurance companies and that the policy had earned enough to carry it beyond the death of the insured although he had not paid premiums for some time and the company had suspended him. The decision of the lower court was affirmed. Judge Fox filed the opinion reversing the case outright. Judges Gantt, Burgess and Lamm concur. Chief Justice Brace dissents. Judge Valliant concurs in part. A Limit for City Bonds. A Limit for City Bonds. The Missouri supreme court en banc has rendered an opinion against the city of Columbia for a mandamus to compel the state auditor, Mr. Wilder, to register $10,000 sewer bonds for that city. Judge Gantt wrote the opinion of the court. He held that a city of the third class cannot bond itself in excess of the constitutional limit, which is five per cent of the assessed valuation, even though the proposition to issue bonds receive the assent of the required two-thirds majority of all the votes at an election for that purpose. The bonded indebtedness of the city of Columbia is $140,700, which the court finds is the constitutional limit, and sustains the state auditor in refusing to register the $10,000 additional bonds. The city asked that the bonds be registered under the amendment to the constitution adopted in 1902, authorizing third class cities to increase their bonded indebtedness to 10 per cent of the assessed valuation, but the court finds that the city is already bonded to the extent authorized by the amendment. Weather Bureau For M. S. U. A weather bureau building will be erected by the United States government upon the university grounds within the next year. Five such buildings are provided for in the agricultural appropriation bill, which has just passed congress. The minimum cost of each is $15,000. The location of the buildings will be decided by the secretary of agriculture upon recommendation of the weather bureau. Dr. B. T. Galloway, chief of the plant industry, who has been active in behalf of the interests of the University of Missouri, of which he is a graduate, sends a letter from Willis L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau, who says: I will recommend to the secretary that buildings be constructed at Columbia. Jackson's Surplus Products. Jackson's Surplus Products. The Missouri bureau of labor statistics has made public the surplus products of Jackson county for the year 1905. A general statement of increase is shown over the year of 1904, which, in itself, was a banner year. All this indicates that the growth in population and wealth of Kansas City was in proportion, amounting in two years to about ten per cent. By surplus products are meant all commodities which are brought into Kansas City by wagon by express companies, railroads, boats, and "on hoof." The surplus products of 1904 of Jackson county were valued at $5,612,517. For 1905 the valuation is not yet finished, but it will be in excess of $6,000,000. Wants a Crawfish Diet. Theodore E. Schultz, would like to know why it is that the boys in Jefferson City have quit catching crawfish. Time was when nearly every urchin in town spent a good part of the summer seeking crawfish. Then life was a happy dream to Mr. Schultz. By keeping a small army of urchins on his staff he could frequently obtain as many crawfish as he cared to eat. Now he is never able to get more than enough to whet his appetite, much less getting as many as he cares to eat. Undoubtedly, Mr. Schultz is the champion crawfish eater in the city. A Good Recommendation. "A young man from Marionville had no trouble in securing a position with an Aurora firm upon presenting the following letter of recommendation from his former employer: 'I have found him truthful, intelligent and sober. I have observed also, that his services at the house were satisfactory to my wife and any one who can get along with her is a peach.'" University Teachers Change. University Teachers Change. W. W. Cook, professor of law in the university of Missouri, has resigned to accept at a higher salary the professorship in the department of law in the university of Wisconsin at Madison. C. C. Crosby, assistant in entomology, has resigned to accept a position of similar character at a larger salary in Cornell university. Rink Under a Tent. At Centralia the roller skating season is hanging on so long that a rink is being operated under a tent. Drives Off a Burglar. A burglar entered the home of Rev. W. T. Campbell, pastor of the First Baptist church, 304 Delaware street, Independence, recently. Mrs. Campbell and her two children occupied a room on the first floor, while the male members of the family occupied rooms in the second story of the residence. The burglar went to a bureau drawer in Mrs. Campbell's room and in ransacking discovered Dr. Campbell's razor. Mrs. Campbell was awakened by the noise and turned in bed. The robber moved swiftly over to the bed and said to her: "Don't make a noise or I will kill you." The threat of the burglar had little effect on Mrs. Campbell. She grabbed the razor held by the burglar. He tried to wrest it from her, and in the scuffle for the blade its keen edge was drawn down her thumb. The fight awakened Mrs. Campbell's 14-year-old daughter, who slept in the same room, and she came to the rescue of her mother. Mrs. Campbell finally secured the weapon and was making for the burglar, when he plunged through an open window and made his escape. Dr. Campbell heard the noise and came downstairs, but too late to catch the man. Men went in search of the burglar, who left a trail of blood. As the burglar went out of the window, Mrs. Campbell gave a parting slash, and may have wounded him. Blood was found on the sidewalk for a block or two and at the steps of the Watson Memorial church there were blood-stains. Around the house two sets of tracks were found. The police were notified and for a time it was thought that bloodhounds would be used. Indian Skeletons Exhumed. John Dillard and J. R. Atkinson of Callaway, say that Charles W. Smart, who recently bought the old Stephen Guerrant place near Fulton, made a startling find in the foundation of an old log house which he recently pulled down. The house was built 56 years ago on the top of a large mound which had been partly leveled of. It was pulled down recently and in digging away the mound 26 skeletons were found. It is believed more skeletons may be found later. The skulls, the best preserved part of the skeletons were in nearly every case covered by a flat stone. Invariable the skeletons lay face downward. Most of the skeletons crumbled when exposed to the air. The hill is supposed to have been an Indian burial ground. Furnished His Own Light. Furnished His Own Light. A popular citizen of Ray county who died a few days ago, was noted for his efficiency in two trades—printer and horseshoer—and also for his never failing humor. When he was courting the daughter of Colonel Benson of Excelior Springs, the colonel opposed the match. The suitor was a frequent visitor and a late stayer. The prospective father-in-law declared it took too much oil to light the young man's way. When the youth heard that he went to the grocery store and purchased every jug in stock. He had these filled with oil and seat to his sweetheart's father. The old gentleman knew how to take a joke and the humorist got the girl. Letter Carriers at Moberly. Letter Carriers at Moberly. The Missouri State Association of Letter carriers met at Moberly in the rooms of the Commercial Club, a dinner in honor of the delegates was given at the Merchants' hotel. After the election of the following officers the convention adjourned to meet at Joplin May 30 and 31, 1910 President, George Bauman, Sedalia; vice president, Joseph Gilday, Kansas City; secretary, J. Schimmelpfenny, St. Louis; treasurer F. A. Dooley, Joplin; sergeant-at-arms J. Taylor, St. Joseph. Executive board—W. L. Bryardi, Mexico; W. H. Levit, Webb City; A. C. Brady Columbia. To Mark the Grave of Judge Scott The commission named to erect a monument at the grave of Judge William Scott in the state lot in the Jefferson City cemetery met recently, Judge Scott was one of the early supreme court judges and his opinions are placed among the ablest written by that court. His body was buried on his farm, four miles west of this city. When the farm was sold the burial place was made a part of a pasture. The legislature appropriated money for the removal of the body to the state lot in the city cemetery and for the erection of a monument. Folk Names Coal Oil Inspectors. Governor Folk has appointed coal oil inspectors as follows: C. L. Stuckey for Pierce City, for two years from March 29, 1906; R. S. Tattlow for Holden, for two years from May 5, 1906; J. H. Grier for Aurora, for two years from May 13, 1906; J. T. Talliafero for Lebanon, for two years from May 30, 1906. To Stop Circus Gambling: So many Chillicothe people failed to fleece the gambblers with a show recently exhibiting in that town that the city council has passed an ordinance against gambling on circus grounds and the city marshal expects to get revenge on the next "astounding animal aggregation." Lightning Struck a Store. The general merchandise store of Hawkins, eight miles south of Sheibina was struck by lightning and burned recently. A. F. and A. M Of Missouri and Its Jurisdiction.

Nothing does he withhold from him. Would to God that there were other men like Sam the Tailor. A better friend than Sam the Tailor does not live in St. Louis. We know whereof we speak. Mr. Bennett is much improved, and we hope he will soon be out again. The Good Samaritan Council No. 400 of the A. U. K. and D. of A. met last Wednesday and transacted their routine business. We trust that the council will hereafter have better orders, and transact their business in less time. Several members and officers talk too much about nothing. No lodge that is composed of ladies should hold their meeting longer than 10 o'clock. We shall speak plainer next time. St. Ferdinand Avenue Drug Store. Here we have another drug store that is owned and controlled by Colored men. The building was bought several weeks ago by Mr. Chas. Dodge and others. This is one of the best supplied drug stores in the city, and they are doing a splendid business in drugs of all kinds. They sell each from 10 to 12 gallons of ice cream every Sunday. We trust that they will still be successful. 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 bounded duty, where all things are equal. We ask for Mr. Nelson such recognition and support.-Editor Wheeler. "De man dat talks loud in an argument!" said Uncle Eben.

The manager of the Palladium has been most severely criticized for the persistence with which he publishes articles, displaying the corruptness of many of our so-called best (?) people. What some of our race desires is the "squashing" of any incident detrimental to its so-called leaders, because of the class to which they belong. The question arises as to the duty of a newspaper. The public gains its knowledge of the world through the columns of its newspapers and it expects truth from them. It is the height of injustice to cater to an individual, because of the class into which he has been fortunate enough to intrude himself. To a race attempting to climb the ladder of public's good opinion, and reach the pinacle of success in being recognized as a race worthy of a chance, the exposure of any person whose morals are not what they ought to be is just as essential as the removal of a rotten apple from a barrel of good ones. We expect more from our enlightened and educated people. We could excuse an immoral act on the part of an ignorant person on the plea of his ignorance. The Palladium is not seeking notoriety through scathing articles, it is simply trying to print the truth without consideration of class or favor. It has been in vogue since 1883, and the manager is too well versed in the laws of journalism to publish an article criticizing any person without proof of its authenticity. He knows whereof he speaks. Next week, the public will hear some more scathing news. DEAD BEATS.

We are getting the horse laugh by a number of our subscribers, who tell us to call on a certain day, and they say they have not got the money. Then, if we call the next day, they say they don't want us to run after them, so stop the paper. This we will do. Women, who are always at every ball and dog-fight will soon get behind in their paper bill; so it is better to stop now than get under The St. Louis Palladium Mule. SAM, THE TAILOR.

LOUIS PALLADIUM It is bad taste to see a young lady chewing gum when at work. Birds of a feather will flock together, Vernon was in St. Louis a few days ago. Who was the teacher in one of our schools that assaulted another teacher? This was on Randolph street. We know your name, and if you do not make some amend for braking the eye glasses of the other teacher, and broaden her nose, we will call your name next week. It is an undeniable fact that Colored people pay their rent as well, if not better than any class of citizens, and yet when white people move out of a house, five dollars are added to the rent for Colored people. In the 2000 block on Lawton avenue, those who pay $4 rent are compelled to pay $40 more for guarantee. This is robbery and the city authorities should investigate. ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES The rally at Antioch church Sunday, June 3, was quite a success. The amount raised was $132.77, of which amount Antioch Missionary Circle gave $20. The pastor and members of Antioch church feel very grateful to Reverends David Johnson, George E. Stevens, W. P. T. Jones, their members and friends, also all who so willingly assisted in the rally. God loves the cheerful giver. Sunday, the 10th covenant and communion services will be held at 10:30 a. m. and 3 p. m., respectively, at which time all members are expected to be present. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Overton, of 3133 Fair avenue, have sent out cards announcing the marriage of their daughter, Etna, to Mr. John A. Porter, to take place June 28, 1906, at 8:30 p. m. Miss Novan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Robinson was married to Mr. Perkins May 17. The bride looked very pretty in her dress of white silk voil over white satin. The guests numbered about forty. The presents were handsome and useful. Well, if the exodus continues in Antioch church there will not be many widows nor young ladies left. They come from Mt. Zion, Central, Jones' chapel and even Hannibal, Mo., also the far sunny south, and carry off the prizes, while the eligible brothers of Antioch are standing idle. Why not wake up? I would like a husband. The two young men reached the door at the same time. "Is Miss Swellington in?" they asked. The maid, Norah, looked at them and shook her head, disconsolately. "She's in to wam av ye an' out to th' other," she said at last; "but th' two av ye comin' together has got me so tangled O'm blest if Oi know which is which. But come roight in, both av ye, an' Oll ax her to come down an' pick ye out." The exports of flour from the United States during April were 1,031,047 bbls., compared with 738,969 in the same month last year; the exports for the ten months of the crop year ending with April were 11,744,293 bbls., against 7,283,530 in the corresponding time the year before.—St. Louis Modern Miller.

FERRIS WHEEL The famous Ferris Wheel, first shown at the Chicago World's fair in 1893, and at the St. Louis World's fair in 1894, was blown up and wrecked recently with dynamite. The wheel was the wonder of two continents, by reason of its cost of $360,000, its dimensions, and its utter uselessness. It was the rival of the Elf堡 tower of Paris. Chicago was glad to get rid of it, and St. Louis is said to have witnessed its destruction with satisfaction. George Washington Gale Ferris, president of a Pittsburg engineering firm, originated the idea of the wheel that bore his name, taking the notion from a bicycle and adapting the constructive principles of steel bridges in its erection. Ferris financed the wheel, built it in Pittsburgh, erected it at the Chicago Columbian exposition, and took in $750,000 at 50 cents a ride. Then Ferris took a kaleidoscopic trip to Europe. Later he lost all interest in the monster, and died in Pittsburgh of tuberculosis. He was only 40 years old. The stockholders, who had made 100 per cent profit out of the wheel in 1893, later leased the ground at the foot of Diversey boulevard and re-erected it there. Ferris wheel park was not a success, and the wheel was taken down again and removed to St. Louis on June 3, 1903. The cost of taking down the wheel was $40,000. Its ruins are estimated as worth $8,000 as scrap iron.

We have tried hard to get the exact ‘cnumber of papers thal 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 news- papers published in the United States, and as near as we.can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each...... 30 Ulinois and North Carolin, 12 each,. 24 MISSISSIDDL « ...ssseeccesosseeeeeese 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 TEERSI Ie Sesece coustsy nconeeteeeo es 2 Missoarl cipsemcscwecsossepesecess 9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 €ach........ssescecceee 18 ‘Washington, D.

We have about 20 of them that last some- times a year. The whites are flooded down with them, Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side ‘with weekly white papera of this coun try. Our people huve not as yet ar rived to that yoint where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. ‘We see German, Irish, French, He- brew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper ia published. We take it for a fact that the ma- jority of Negto ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the iorld, 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 news- papers, magazines and other period ieals as the pivot on which their in- formation is dispensed among the peo- ple. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhab- itants of this country shoild look to our people and the Negro papers to dis- Dinse news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the rea- son is because they were not support- ed. 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. 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 Te Eo el ec NEW JERSEY 'RICKISHAS, Vehicle of Yankee Make Has Invadee the Orient with Good Results, That characteristic vehicle of the orient, the jinrikisha, is drawn by a yellow coolie in Japan, a brown Hindu in India, a black Zulu in South Africa; but look between the shafts of the ‘rikisha im any of these countries, and you will probably find the same name- Plate—that of a vehicle manufacturer in New Jersey. The Yankee jinrikisha has invaded thé east, and its invasion promises to result in a permanent oc- cupation of countries where cheap la- bor would seem to forbid sales of American goods, The Yankee ‘rikisha manufacturer competes on prices first. He sells vehi- cles as good as the native product at as low as $16 and no higher than $40, American factory methods permit turn- ing them out in large numbers on the duplicate system, He also competes in quality, making jinriiishas with ball hearings, bieycle wheels and cushion tires at $80. Different types of 'rikisha are made for different countries. The vehicle is common in Lagos, Ceylon, -and -many other localities, each of which has its preferences in the way of weight. height, hoods, bells, lamps, colors, and cushions, The New Jersey factory also supplies the “pousse-pousse” used in Madagascar. It is a variety of jinrikt. sha with hood and springs. Another is the “Korean cab,” which fs nothing more than an improvement on the clumsy Chinese wheelbarrow, with its single wheel, familiar as a pas. senger vehicle in all Chinese cities, ‘The “Korean cab” has a single wheel fitted with a pneumatic tire, and seats one passenger, the seat being placed high over the wheel, Coolles in front and behind balance and propel it, and the vehicle is capable of good speed. When the Yankee 'rikisha was intro- duced on the west coast of Africa, it was so much lighter than the vehicles previously known that the first Zul who drew one presently stopped, Iift- ed the vehicle and its passenger to his head, and wanted to carry it that way, being easier. American wheelbarrows were introduced about the same time and a contractor who supplied ther to his Fanti laborers, returning in 3 few hours, found them all being car- ried water-jar fashion. CHARMS THAT BRING LUCK Superstitions of Bridge Players— Houses and Seats That Are ‘Thlucky. It ts now obvious that the portion of society which takes its gambling seri- ously—it is a very large portion in- deed—has become yery superstitious, An instance in point is the buying of the ankh which, as now sold in Bond street in gold and jewels, is extremely popular, says the London Daily Mail, ‘The ankh is the sign of life, and consequently of good luck striving against bad; a symbol of Egyptian origin composed of a headless crose attached to a stirrup circle. Gambling has always gone hand in hand with belief in the efficacy of charms, but the fair votaries of bridge go much further and there are end- less little ceremonies which are sup- posed to militate for or against their chance of winning. A charming lady who might, with- out undue conceit, have styled herself “one who knows,” quotes an instance: “Whenever you' cut for a fresh deal or after a rubber,” she said, “the one who cuts lowest has, as you know, the choice of cards and seats, and they in- variably turn the winning people out of their seats and choose the winning pack.” Sometimes they elect to sit against the hinges of the table, be- cause that is the lucky side. As for the charms which are sup- posed to bring luck, their name is legion; the most favored are little dwarfs, lucky sixpences and the New Zealand greenstone. It must not be supposed that these superstitions are confined to the ladies. Two well known card players at White's are extremely proud of pos- sessing some pieces of-a hangman's rope, and from the possession of these trophies they date their good luck. Certain houses are considered lucky to play in, though of course a house which Is Incky for one player thay be unlucky for the other. Particular clubs also are much in favor among card Miaware Extravagance for the Dead. Burial customs were once modest with our people. But complicated and costly living appears to have made simple dying impossible, remarks the New York Mail. We run to weak os- tentation in the surroundings and trappings of mortality. It is necessary to obtain this, to purchase that; it is the only good form, nothing else will do, It is the consideration of the liv- ing that we think about, not the sim- ple respect due the dead. We forget that the costlier the earthly memorial we erect the shallower may be the ree- ord that we cut upon the tablets of our hearts.

BUYING PAINT. sects are in the air at that time ready to commit suicide by suffocation in the coat of fresh paint. The atmos- -pheric conditions are also favorable at that season for proper drying and increased life of the paint. It should be a habit with every property owner every spring to look over his buildings, ete. and see if they need repainting; not merely to es if they “will go another year,” ‘but whether the time has not come for putting in the proverbial “stitch in time” which shall eventually “save nine.” For one coat of paint applied just a Uttle before it is actually need- ed will often save most of the paint on the building by preventing it from letting go and causing endless trou- ble and expense. Paint lets go because linseed oll, which is the “cement” that holds all good paint together, gradually, decays or oxidizes, just a8 iron exposed to air and dampness will slowly decay or oxidize. The water and oxygen in the air are the cause of the trouble in both cases, and the only reason, outside of its beautifying effect, that we apply paint to wood or iron is be- cause we want to keep water and air away from them. Live paint, that is paint in which the linseed oil is still oily, does this very effectual- ly; but dead paint, that is paint in which the oil is no longer oily, is no more impervious to air and water than a single thickness of cheese- cloth would be. If then we apply a fresh coat of oily paint before the old paint is dead, the off from tho new coat will penetrate the old coat, and the whole coating will once more become alive; and this method of ren- ovation may go on indefinitely. This explains why it is better econ- omy to repaint a little before it be comes absolutely necessary than a little after. When the paint is once dead the fresh coat will pull the whole coating off. In the days when repainting meant a general turning of things upside down, a two-weeks’ “cluttering up” of the place with kegs, cans and pails, a lot of inflammable and ill- smelling materials standing around, ete., the dread of painting time was natural. So was the dread of soap- making time, of shirt-making time, of candle-moulding time and the like. But we live in an age when soap comes from the store better and cheaper than we can make it, waen shirts are sold ready made for less than we can buy the materials, when we can burn coal oil or gas cheaper than we can make tallow candles, and wher all we have to do when we want to repaint is to pick out our colors from the card at the store and pay the painter for putting on the Paint. When it comes to picking out the paint it is mot necessary that one should be a paint chemist, any more than one should be an oil chemist when buying kerosene, or a depart- ment store buyer when selecting shirts, or a soap chemist when buy- ing soap. All that is necessary to insure a fair show is some knowl. edge of the character of our paint dealer and the reputation and stand- ing of the maker of the paint offered. Nor must one expect to buy a pure linseed ofl paint for the price of line seed oil alone, It can be taken for granted when anyone offers to sell dollar, bills at a discount, he is bait- ing a hook for “suckers.” So it can be taken for granted when anyone— whether mail order house, ‘paint manufacturer or dealer—offers paint too cheap, he is bidding for the trade of “suckers,” no matier what his Promises, But paints sold in responsible stores under the brands of reputable manufacturers are all good products, differing from one another in the less important matter of the solid pig- ments contained, but practically alike in having their lquid portions com- posed essentially of pure linseed oll, The competition of the better class of paints has driven inferior goods practically out of the market, and no manufacturer of standing now puts out a poor paint, under. his own name at least. As to guarantees on paint, they can be taken for what they are worth. Any reputable manufacturer will make good any defect actually trace: | able to the paint itself and not to im- proper use or treatment of it. The really important guarantee which the paint buyer should? exact from his dealer ig that the paint is made by a manufacturer that knows his busl- ness and that the paint itself has a record. If he secures this guarantee he can afford to chance the rest of it—the paint will undoubtedly give good service if properly applied ac cording to directions. laaple ag Ate eect) “That man began to kick the minute he entered the office,” said the hotel clerk. “Yes,” answered the proprietor. “H® behaves as if he had always been used to the worst of everything,”—Wash- ington Star, ‘ Every boy has three ambitions be- fore he finally settles down.

Venerable Frenchman’s Efforts Wer Finally Crowned with Success. A young nozthern woman once wen out to visit the famous old chapel an¢ cemetery of St. Roch, near New Or leans. The eccentric old Frenchmar in cliarge was delighted, says Every: body’s Magazine, to show lier about and when she came to one of the “sta: tions” where hung a painting of the Crucifixion, wishing to make sure oj a firm foundation for her appreciation of the subject, he inquired: “Madame is an artist?” “No,” modestly replied ‘madame,’ “only a student.” ‘The old man was visibly disappoint: ed, but taking new courage, he tried again: © : “Madame has traveled much. Per. chance to Paris. “No,” replied the lady, with prope regret, “I have never been to Paris.” Increased disappointment, almost reaching the point of disapproval, but followed by cnother brave attempt 21 establishing mutual interests and un- derstanding: ‘Madame is.a good Catholic?” “No,” sadly replied the unfortunate woman, a trifle uncomfortable, al- though’ amused. “Well,” in desperation, “this paint- ing is by a great artist—a French art- ist who lives in Paris. It represents the Christ who long ago was crucified upon a eross. You have heard ol Wim?” CHAMPION PIE. EATERS. New Yorkers Consume Immense Quantities of Pastry and Bread, One hundred thousand pies are eat en every day in New York. Roughly speaking, that means 36,500,000 ples 0 year. More than twice as many apple pies as any other kind are eaten, says the World. Great as is the consumption of pie it is exceeded by that of bread; 125, 000 loaves is the lowest estimate placed on the number baked daily in New York. Bakers who have tried te estimate the amount say there arc hundreds of small bakers, each baking from 50 to 100 loaves daily, who are not included in this estimate. ‘There are more than 700 bakers in Manhat- tan alone and nearly as many more ir the other boroughs. While by far the greatest amount of bread eaten in New York is the plain white wheat bread, many other kinds are eaten extensively, rye, whole wheat and graham bread being he principal. oe ee es A London scientist says that life in a metropolis makes young children sharp but not clever; that it often de- stroys their chance of ever being clever, for it hastens the development of the brain unnaturally; it makes them superficial, alert, but not ob- servant; excitable, but without one spark of enthusiasm; they are apt to grow blase, fickle, discontented; they see more things than the country-bred child, but not such interesting things; and they do not properly see anything, for they have neither the time nor ca- pacity to get at the root of all the be- wildering objects that crowd them- selves into their little lives. Oath in Isle of Man, The judicial oath in the Isle of Mar fs so, quaint as to deserve printing. Ii runs’ thus: “By this book and the holy contents thereof, and by the wonderful works that God hath miraculously wrought in heaven above and in the earth beneath in six days and sever nights, I do swear that I will, without respect of favor or friendship, love or gain, consanguinity or affinity, envy or malice, execute the laws of this isle justly between our sovereign lord the king and his subjects within this isle betwixt party and party, as indifferent. ly as the herring’s backbone dota lie in the midst of the fish.” Talent in the Rough. Frith, the English painter, tells this story of a fellow artist: “Huskison was an extraordinarily clever fellow, who died quite young. He used to paint imaginative pictures, fairies and that sort of thing. He was entirely uneducated. At a big dinner party at Cheltenham I heard Lord Northwick ask him all down the length of the table -who bought his last picture. Was it a dealer? ‘No, my iord,,’ said Huskison, ‘it were a gent.” “Scotch” in “Commons.” ‘There is always a bountiful supply of Scotch whiskey provided for the British house of commons.

THE CHURCH THESOLONIAN BAPTIST CHURCH The Thessalonian Baptist church was greeted with a magnificent congregation last Sunday afternoon and evening. Rev. Dr. A. S. Green preached the sermon of his life from the subject, "One Lord, One Faith and One Baptism." It was indeed the finest installation sermon we have ever listened to. He dwelt at some length upon the different faiths of the old and new world, and showed conclusively that he had his subject well in hand. We have never seen people work so faithfully as these people did. At the close of the day a report of $178.79 was made and there are others to follow next Sunday, and we are also informed that 22 members were added to the church during last week. Rev. E. C. Cole preached at the evening service as he never preached Selections from Good Authors on the Goodness of all things, Sweetness . of Women and Folly of Men. Most women nowadays are are fair in proportion as they are false. The less hair a woman has the more time it takes her to do it up. Flatter a woman and she will love you; pity her, and she will hate you. Women are like cats. Both are graceful, both are domestic and both scratch. The farther a man gets away from a dollar, the larger it looks. You can easily fill the public eye if you have sufficient dust. If you want to know the value of a dollar, try to borrow one when you really need it. When a man finds his clothes are too loose, he should either change tailors or his boarding place. Some women are both good and true—but most of them are too good to be true. Eve originated the Serpentine dance when she waltzed out of the Garden of Eden. More or less, all men have rode in their own carriage, when their mother pushed it along. Some are now riding the mule in the Palladium. A woman can drive a man crazy for twenty-four hours and then bring him to the gates of Paradise in two seconds by simply tickling him under the chin. Ask your friends if they read The Palladium. They miss the news and doings if they don't. Uneasy lies the female head that wears no new Easter bonnet. THE PALLADIUM GIVES ITS READERS MORE NEWS THAN ALL THE OTHER RACE PAPERS PUBLISHED IN THE CITY AND STATE. Read Carefully the Advertisements in this paper. THE END OF THE WORLD. A meeting of the prophets, many of whom were clergymen, was recently held at Exeter hall, in London. The prophets did not agree as to minor matters but they were unanimously of opinion that the end of the world is at hand. They were quite sure that it would come either on May 2, 1929, or April 9, 1931, so that at the most old Mother Earth has less than twenty-five years to live. It is quite remarkable that so many prophets should agree upon two dates less than two years apart. Fortunately just at this time we are assured by Dr. Thomas C. Chamberlin, head of the department of geology in the University of Chicago, that the earth will be habitable for such animals as man for a hundred million years to come. But it is likely enough that 99,000,000 years from now there will be a meeting in some Exeter hall of cranks who will agree that the final catastrophe may be confidently expected in nineteen years and six months. GREAT WESTERN EXCURSION. Watch the Palladium for full particulars of the Great Western club's grand steamboat excursion on Monday evening. June 11. before, and everybody went home happy with the prospects of a great church in the very near future. These people are to be congratulated upon the fact of having one of the finest organs in the city, and the singing by the choir was beyond question, the best we have ever heard in any church in St. Louis, and all of this can be accounted for, when it is known that that pious Christian and polished educated gentleman in the person of Prof. J. A. Freeman was presiding at the organ. A meeting has been in progress every night during this week, and much good is resulting from it. The first covenant and communion service will take place in the new church Sunday afternoon at three o'clock. The public will find the doors of this church open every Sunday at 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. BREZZY JOTTINGS Love is a dream, but marriage is an alarm clock. No man gives short weight without shrinking his soul. Walls have ears and even wallflowers have hearts. After man came woman, and she has been after him ever since. Genius has to take a back seat when the man of grit comes along. It is an easy matter for a stingy man to get rich, but what good does it do him?" The man with time to waste is a bigger fool than the one with money to burn. The average man either boasts about his good health or howls about aches and palms. When a young man goes to church regularly it is a sign that some pretty girl has religion. The wise female doesn't attempt to monopolize the conversation until after she is married. As the wise man knows he is a fool he is miserable; the fool imagines he is wise and is happy. Mexico is said to produce about 80 per cent of the total world's production of sisal hemp. If you want the people to know that you are in business send your ad to the Palladium.
