FOSTER IN MEMORY OF STEPHEN C. FOSTER MONUMENT TO AUTHOR OF "MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME" UNVEILED. ERECTED WITH MONEY GIVEN BY THE CHILDREN Daughter of the Composer Drew Away the Drapery, and By Her Side Were Foster's Granddaughter and Two Great-Grandchildren—School Children Sing. Louisville, Ky., June 15.—It would tax the ability of the most accomplished mathematician to even estimate how many times this week the music of "My Old Kentucky Home" has floated on the air of Louisville. Delegation after delegation from abroad has trooped through the streets behind bands that have informed everybody within hearing that "the sun shines bright in my old Kentucky home." The orchestras in the hotels and cafes impart the same intelligence every few minutes, and people sing and hum it in the streets. Thursday was given over to the memory of Stephen C. Foster, whose simple words set to music have made Kentucky's name a household word. It is doubtful if any composer ever received a more flattering tribute than that accorded to Foster, Thursday, when 1,000 of the school children of Louisville, who, by their contributions have made possible a monument of bronze which is to stand in the new capitol at Frankfort, sang his beautiful music in chorus and cheered every mention of his name. Daughter Unveiled Monument. The exercises took pace at the Armory. After addresses by Jerry South, of Arkansas, and R. W. Miller, of Richmond, Ky., the model of the Foster statute was unveiled by Mrs. Marion Foster Welsh, of Allegheny, Pa., daughter of Mr. Foster. Standing by the side of Mrs. Welsh as the drapery fell away, revealing the statue, were Mrs. Jesse Welsh Rose, granddaughter of the composer, and his two great-grandchildren, Dorothy Jeane Rose and Stephen Collins Foster Rose. The chorus of children, accompanied by an orchestra, then sang in a manner that evoked enthusiastic applause, "My Old Kentucky Home," "Old Folks at Home," "Old Black Joe," and other of Foster's melodies. The rendition of a few of Foster's melodies on the flute which he used during his lifetime, brought the exercises to a close. MISS MAUDELLE T. BROWN. Among the graduates of the university of Illinois who will receive diplomas to-day in Champaign, Ill., will be Miss Maudelle Tanner Brown, daughter of Prof. Charles H. Brown, principal of the Banneker school, St. Louis. Miss Brown will be the first Negro girl to be graduated from this university, where she has made a remarkable record for scholarship. She has completed the regular four-year course in the department of literature and art in three years, besides taking an extra course in psychology, and ranks with the first ten in a class of 467. The diploma will make her eligible to teach in any school in the state of Illinois. She is also a graduate of Sunner high school of this city, where she also completed a four-year course in three years, finishing with the highest honors of her class in June, 1903. Besides being a scholar of unusual ability, Miss Brown is an accomplished pianist, having taken a thorough course in music under Prof. Kunkel. She has been quite successful as an instructor in music, but has chosen teaching as her vocation, and probably will accept a position in the St. Louis schools.—Globe-Democrat. Thousands of Negroes fought, bled and died that Old Glory would wave over a free people. We bow with submission to it. HILLCAT KENTUCKY STATE BUILDING—All Loyal Kentuckians Are Gathered in Louisville, Ky., This Week. HE BLACKED HIS FACE. W. T. Menard, Washington correspondent of the Florida Sentinel, savs: For the past two weeks several white women of this city were victims of a pocket-book thief, and in every instance described the robber as "a burly black Negro, etc." The police arrested several suspects, but were compelled to release them for lack of proof of guilt. Last Wednesday, however, the police arrested a young white man, one Albert W. Purcell, on the charge of indecent exposure, and upon examination at the station house found three ladies' pocket-books and a box of blacking in his clothing. It is stated by the police that this white thief is the so-called "burly black Negro," and traces of blacking were found upon his face. The real Negro thief has enough sins of his own to answer for without being required to shoulder the crimes committed by white men, who change the color of their "mugs" by the application of blacking or burnt cork. The chief of police of this city, Major Sylvester, also stated that it was a common thing for people to complain of alleged robbers about the 1st and 15th of the month, hoping thereby to offer a plausible excuse to relentless creditors—Exchange. Miss Scenell Past National Grand Princess of U. B. F. and S. M. T. WILL SOON MARRY. Miss Benton, of 2605 Morgan street, will soon leave for Denver, Col. In that beautiful city she will be married to a very good man. We wish her much happiness in her marriage.

After a dramatic hearing, replete with sensational evidence, which their wives, who had been subpoenaed as witnesses, were forced to hear, seven white firemen, members of Engine Co. No. 2, stationed at Warnock and Berks streets, were held without bail for court Thursday afternoon by Magistrate Gallagher on charges of felonious assault. Another fireman of the same company was held in $500 bail for being an accessory to the crime. Immediatdy after the magistrate had announced his decision in the hearing, the attorneys for the defense, John R. McLain and John C. Crowley, secured a copy of the transcript and hurried with it to Judge Barratt, who was sitting in the court of quarter sessions. The judge ordered that ball should be accepted for each of the defendants in the sum of $1,000. The prosecutor in the case is Blanche Bowles, a 16-year-old Colored girl. With her guardian, Mrs. Robert Hill, also Colored, the girl lives at 1010 Berks street—Philadelphia Tribune. WANT ANOTHER ONE The Great Western club gave its grand steamboat excursion, Monday night, on the steamer City of Providence. The boat was well filed, there being at least a thousand persons on board. Mr. Jas. W. Grant managed the floor and the president of the club, Mr. Floyd Ross, was everywhere in evidence, seeing that all had a good time. It is hoped that the club will accede to the request of many who attended, and will repeat the excursion, sometime in the near future. RETURNED FROM A VISIT TO JACKSON, ILL. Mrs. Printice, of 4 South Twenty-first street, has returned from her visit to Jackson, Ill. She speaks on the terms of the Negro of that city. The Jackson high school had their twenty-fourth annual commencement at the Grand Opera house, May 13. Only one Colored girl graduated. Her name is Serena Bell Herman. She was the center of attraction. Colored and white attend the same school in Jackson. ELLIOT AVENUE CHURCH. Rev Gillum, pastor of the above mentioned church, is one of the most logical pastors in St. Louis. This congregation raised $1,600 at their rally, a few Sundays ago. This tends to show what a work he is doing. We predict that under the leadership of Rev. Gillum the church will meet their obligations, and soon will worship at Leffingwell and Pine street. NOTICE. Mr. and Mrs. Wm Hays, of 3625 Finney avenue, have removed from 3625 to 3956 Finney avenue. Mrs. Hays and her little son are now visiting her sister, brother and other friends in Louisville, Ky., her old Kentucky home. We wish them a pleasant trip. Ask your friends if they read The Palladium. They miss the news and doings if they don't. --- COLE BROTHER'S THEIR SHOW. COLE BROTHER'S THEIR SHOW. NOTES FROM COLE BROTHERS' UNITED SHOWS.

SENATOR MONEY OBJECTED The Mississippi Senator Denounced the Bill as Sectional and Some of Its Provisions as Pharasical. Washington—Senator Albert J. Beveridge called up the conference report on the statehood bill in the senate, Wednesday, and after almost three hours' discussion it was adopted without division. Senator Bailey indicated displeasure over the location of the capital of the proposed new state of Oklahoma at Guthrie until 1913, but said Oklahoma and Indian territory had been kept out of statehood so long that he would make no effort to defeat the report. He declared the effort to link those two territories with Arizona and New Mexico inexcusable, and expressed the hope that the separate vote allowed to the latter pair would settle for all the time the question of their consideration as one state. Senator Money's Objection. Senator Money objected to the union of Oklahoma and Indian territory. He expressed special regret that the democratic senators are uniting with republicans in bringing about the result. He also declared that "if the two territories were in the north, not a man on the republican side would vote to unite them," and said that Dakota, with only a fraction of the population of Oklahoma and Indian territory had been divided into two states in order to secure four United States senators. He expected, he said, to cast the only vote in opposition to the adoption of the report, but he would "never sanction the outrage." He also spoke of the liquor provision as causing just indignation on the part of the people, saying that it is a result of "that pharisaical cant and hypocrisy which leads some to scrutinize with great care the sins of others while totally oblivious of their own." Terms of the Report. By the terms of the conference report, Indian territory and Oklahoma are to be admitted to the union as one state under the name of Oklahoma. The territories of New Mexico and Arizona are to be admitted as one state under the name of Arizona, provided the people of each of those territories vote for joint statehood at an election to be held on November 6 next. THE COLOR LINE IN KENTUCKY. State Court of Appeals Upholds the Law Prohibiting the Co-Education of Whites and Blacks. Frankfort, Ky.-The state court of appeals in an opinion by Judge Orear, the whole court sitting, and Judge Parker dissenting, has affirmed the Madison circuit court in the case of Berea College vs. the Commonwealth. The court holds constitutional the act of 1904 prohibiting the co-education of colored and white children, and reverses as to section four, which provides that colored and white children shall not be taught within 25 miles of each other. The court holds this an unreasonable exercise of police power by the state. NO YELLOW FEVER IN NEW ORLEANS New Orleans, La.—Mayor Martin Behrman telegraphed, Wednesday night, to newspapers which are reported to have printed stories that yellow fever exists in New Orleans as follows: "Reports of yellow fever in New Orleans absolutely false. We have no reason to conceal anything, and invite most rigid inspection or investigation. It is eminently unjust to confound places remote from here with New Orleans." The telegram was called forth by reports confusing Ship Island quarantine station. Miss., where there are three cases of yellow fever, with the New Orleans quarantine station. TAKING ALL DUE PRECAUTION. Health Authorities of New Orleans Determined Not to Let Yellow Fever Get a Foothold. New Orleans—By way of precaution against possible yellow fever outbreaks in this city, the state and city boards of health announce that 60 city blocks are now under a searching system of inspection and that those portions of New Orleans outside of this closely-guarded section are being watched. An Assessment Ordered. Indianapolis, Ind—The full national executive committee of the United Mines Workers of America closed a two weeks' meeting Wednesday. A per capita assessment of 50 cents per week on the working membership was ordered. Demand For Reasonable Bail. Denver, Col.—Wednesday, the Western Federation of Miners' convention adopted a resolution addressed to Judge Smith, of Idaho, demanding that he release the imprisoned federation officials at once of reasonable ball. THE WELCHERS WILL BE DRIVEN FROM THE STATE. RUINED BEFORE THE WORLD State Insurance Commissioner Wolf, Backed By Attorney-General Webb, Has Expressed Himself Forcibly. San Francisco, Cal.-The official of California are agreed, it is said, that the insurance companies, which refuse to meet their obligations and pay their policies in full, will not only be driven from the state, but ruined before the world, if the widest publication of their methods can accomplish that end. Insurance Commissioner E. Marion Wolf is backed by Attorney-General Webb. The attorney general expressed himself forcefully regarding the proposition made by 60 companies at the meeting in Oakland, Tuesday, to pay 75 per cent. of adjusted losses. "Under the law of California," he said, "the state insurance commissioner can summarily revoke the license of any insurance company if the state when there is cause. Certainly the payment of only 75 per cent of losses would be cause. And not only would it be proof of unfitness to do business, but it would be the plainest evidence of dishonesty." Thirty-two insurance companies met in Oakland, Thursday, and organized to be independent of the fire underwriters' bureau. These companies are the ones that decided to pay dollar for dollar, their losses in the fire. None of the companies that voted for a horizontal cut of 25 per cent. was admitted to the meeting, and the result is virtually a disruption of the underwriters' bureau. THE PRESIDENT'S UNCLE DEAD. Robert B. Roosevelt, Uncle of the President, Prominent in National Politics, is No More New York.—Hon, Fobert B. Roosevelt, 77, uncle of President Roosevelt, and himself a prominent figure in national politics, died at 4 a. m. Thursday at his country home at Lotuslake, near Sayville, L. I. He had been in failing health since last winter. He succumbed to a complication of disease. His two sons and other members of the family were at his deathbed. He was a democrat, and was conspicuous in the councils of that party. He was United States minister to the Netherlands from 1888 to 1890, and during the second Cleveland campaign was treasurer of the Democratic national committee. He served many times as presidential elector from New York. DECISION IN THE HUDLESON WILL CASE Springfield, Ill.-The state supreme court, Thursday night, handed down a decision in the Hullsess will case, which has been prominently mentioned of late in connection with the recent Illinois supreme court "mystery," and in which it was said an alleged attempt had been made to change the opinion of the court. The supreme court affirms the judgment of the Clay county circuit court, breaking the will bequeathing $100,000 to Ewing college at Ewing, Ill., and the American Baptist Missionary college of Boston. DECISION THAT MEANS MUCH TO GOV. DENEEN Springfield, Ill. — The Illinois supreme court, in the Healey mecs case, sustained the findings of the lower court. This decision will permit State's Attorney Healey of Cook county to collect fees on cases tried by him, and Gov. Deneen to retain $250,000 collected during his term as Cook county's state attorney. The suprem* court declares unconstitutional section 2 of the act of 1901, which undertook to fix the salary of the state's attorney in Cook county at $10,000 a year. CAUSED A MASSACRE OF JEWS. A Bomb-Throwing at Bialystock, Russia, Followed By an Attack On the Jews. Bralystock, Russia.—A supposed anarchist, said to be a Jew, threw a bomb among the Corpus Christi procession which was in progress here Thursday, and killed and wounded many persons. In consequence the Christians attacked and massacred the Jews and demolished their shops. Hundreds were killed or wounded. Will Not Accept Pardon. Guthrie, Okla.—Convict Al Harpster, serving a life term for the murder of Martine Julian, but proven to be innocent by the dying confession of Byron Cole, will not accept a pardon, but will ask that his name be cleared by a retrial of his case. Bernhardt Sails For Home. New York.-Mme. Sarah Befn-hardt sailed for Paris on the steamship La Touraine. It is announced that she takes with her more than $200,000, which she has made on her tour.

DO NOT THINK OF BUYING a 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 makes any other make—SOFT, ELASTIC and EASY RIDING.

A patriotic Missouri editor thus exolts the virtues of the grand old state. "It is well to teach our children that the soil of Missouri is as good as they will find elsewhere; that the climate of Missouri is as good as any wanderer ever finds; that the people of Missouri are as good as any people of any region of the world; that the homes of Missouri are as good as those of any community; that the schools and churches and the towns and cities and the railroads and the rivers, the trees and flowers, the crops and the products, the industries and the enterprise and the opportunities and the rewards to be found right here in this imperial state are as good or better than can be found anywhere else. Missouri is good enough for the best men and women of the world. Why should our young people leave it? Why teach our children to go West or South, or North or East? Why not make this natural paradise so attractive to the youth who were born here and so dear to the men and women who live here that they will not want to go elsewhere?" Missouri Militia to Riley. The adjutant general, Mr. De Armond, has announced that the national guard in the western part of Missouri would participate in the camp of instruction at Fort Riley, Kansas, this summer. Gov. Folk has designated for this service a brigade commanded by Brig. Gen. Harvey C. Clark, to consist of the Third regiment, Col. Cusil Lechtman of Kansas City; the Second regiment, Col. Harry Mitchell of Nevada, and the Fourth regiment, Col. William E. Stringfellow of St. Joseph. The troops will remain in camp from August 25 to September 2 and take part in the maneuvers with the national guards from other states and soldiers of the regular army. The state military board has asked that Gov. Folk order a state camp of instruction for the troops of the eastern part of the state to be held at Cape Girardeau, Mo., from July 14 to July 22, for the benefit of the First regiment of St. Louis, the Sixth regiment of southeast Missouri and light battery "A." In the annual readjustment of postmasters' salaries. In the annual readjustment of postmasters' salaries in progress at the post office department the state of Missouri has been reached, and a long list of Missouri offices are included in those announced as having been readjusted. In nearly all instances there is an increase of $100 or $200, while in the case of Liberty, the increase is $400 per annum, the office making a long jump from $1,900 into the second-class, for which the minimum salary is $2,000 per annum. Several others of the smaller cities enter the second-class, which classification carries with it allowances for all the clerks necessary. Excelsior Springs enters this class, the salary of the postmaster being increased from $1,800 to $2,000. Carrollton and Moberly, two railroad towns, will suffer a decrease, Carrollton dropping from $2,100 to $2,000, and Moberly from $2,500 to $2,3000 per annum. Women Against Reed Smoot. More than 200,000 names were attached to the petition filed with the senate in the Smoot case. In the petitions presented by Senator Stone are the signatures of 11,677 women. The town of Fulton contributed the names of 863 women. The town was divided into districts, which were canvassed by committees from four churches—the Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian and Church of the Disciples; There were 227 names to a petition circulated at Sheldon by Mrs. H. A. Green. Many women's organizations in the state voted unanimously to indorse the movement against Smoot and signed the memorial as organizations. If these names were added to individual signers of the petition in Missouri, it would bring the total number of women in the state who have asked for the removal of Smoot to 13,000. Soldier's Body in the River. The body of a man who wore a soldier's uniform was recently found by fisherman in the Missouri river a little above the mouth of Crooked river. The buttons of the uniform bore the letters "U. D. H. V. S." The body was that of a man of medium height and apparently about 35 years old. The body was buried on the bank of Crooked river. Loses Missouri Federal Job. Edward C. Baumann, a clerk in the United States land office at Springfield has been dismissed on an order from Washington, signed by W. A. Richards general land commissioner. Affidavits submitted to the bureau showed that in two specific cases Baumann had bought entered land, taking the deed in the name of his wife. Gov. Folk Will Preside. Gov. Folk accepted an invitation from Harvey Walker of New York to preside over the meeting in New York to welcome William J. Bryan on his return in August from his trip around the world. Missourian's Long Trip. Among the arrivals at Louisville, Ky., recently was J. W. Owens, of La Platta, Mo., who made the 570-mile journey on foot and pushing a wheelbarrow. He is a native of Hart county, Kentucky. The recent democratic state convention at Jefferson City was notable for the prevalence of modern hot weather dress among the delegates. Panama hats prevailed. The old time democratic dress was not in evidence. The Tribune reporter saw only two of the old time gray slouch hats, Colonel Henry A. Newman of Randolph county would not change his hat any more than would Colonel J. West Goodwin. The latter is believed to have obtained his headgear at the time the Mormons were driven out of Missouri. It is supposed that some Mormon elder lost it when the saints were driven out of Caldwell county and that Colonel Goodwin found it and has worn it on state occasions ever since. Colonel Newman is thought to have obtained his hat in the mountains of Tennessee while Buchanan was making his race for the presidency. Governor Dockery, it is said, wore shoes for the first time since he had his first pair of red top boots as a schoolboy in Linn county. Missouri Cadets Are Named. Missouri Cadets Are Named. Several members of the house from Missouri who have the nomination of candidates for admission to the United States naval academy at Annapolis have selected the young men from their district to take the competitive examination at Annapolis. Some of the young men have already gone to Annapolis, and have been studying in the peraperatory school. Representative DeArmond had a cadet to name for both Annapolis and West Point. He named Robert Barr, of Clinton Mo., for West Point, and Alfred T Clay of Pleasant Hill for Annapolis. Representative Clark nued Ferdinand A. Murphy, of St. Clair, Mo., as principal: and Bonham Freeman, of Bowling Green: Joseph Boyd Buchanan of Fulton, and Leonard Cook Fry, of Louisiana, Mo., as alternates for the examination at Annapolis. Representative Rhoades nominated Alexander Wilson of Farmington, for Annapolis, and he is now at the preparatory school there For a Library at M. S. U. Gov. Joseph W. Folk, speaking at the annual alumni banquet of the University of Missouri, declared himself in favor of appropriating the $475,000 war claim refunded to the state by the federal government for the purpose of erecting a memorial and library building on the university campus. His announcement brought a storm of applause over the 400 alumni of the institution present at the banquet. Gov. Folk paid a glowing tribute to President Jesse and the faculty of the university and to David R. Francis for his services as curator. Other speeches were made by Gardiner Lathrop of Kansas City, Dr. Paul Schweitzer of Columbia, Irvin Barth of St. Louis, Dr. H. W. Loeb of St. Louis, Dr. John M. Green of St. Louis and Dr. R. H. Jesse. The commencement exercises closed with a reception given in honor of Gov. and Mrs. Folk by President Jesse and the council of the University at the new Rothwell gymnasium. University Commencement. One hundred and ninety- two degrees were awarded at the sixty-fourth annual commencement exercises of the University of Missouri in addition to 36 certificates to students who have completed two years of military training and 38 certificates to teach in elementary and high schools to students of the teacher's college. The exercises were witnessed by the largest crowd ever gathered in the university auditorium, about 2,000 visitors former students and friends and relatives of the graduates from all parts of the state being present. The principal address was given by Frederick W. Lehman of the St. Louis bar. The degree of doctor of laws was conferred upon Gov. Folk, Dr. John M Greene and Frederick N. Judson of St Louis. An Unveiling at Higginsville. A monument in honor of the memory of the confederate dead was unveiled in the presence of 8,000 persons. The monument cost $5,000, that amount being contributed by the Daughters of the Confederacy of the state. The unveiling was under direction of the local chapter of the D. O. C., and Mrs. J. P. Campbell of Lexington, state president of the order presided. Addresses were made by General George P. Gross of Kansas City, Major R. W. Nicol's of Marshall. Harry B. Hawes of St. Louis, Judge Gantt of the supreme court and Dr. J. J. Fulkerson of Lexington. Squirrels Destroying Corn Squirrels Destroying Corn. Farmers who live along the Marias des Cynnes and other rivers are complaining because of the great damage being done to their corn by squirrels Under the new game law squirrels can only be killed between July 1 and December 1, so they are protected when they are doing the most harm. Missouri Was and Is Eden. According to the Columbia Herald "the Vandalia Cosmos club, composed of women, has decided, after due investigation, that Missouri was the Eden of the Old Testament, that Moses made a mistake because the great river was either the Missouri or the Mississippi. The Cosmos club reached this interesting conclusion at a meeting entirely devoted to the state of Missouri, its growing and its greatness. Out of books upon Missouri weaved a credible and wondrous fairy tale of the state. A. F. and A. M Of Missouri and Its Jurisdiction. GRAND LODGE. GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI Officers. C. G.

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.

The Polar Wave Ice Plant, at 2701 Lawton avenue, is now at work making ice. The first ice delivered was to Tony Rathman, and S. L. Pickett of 2601 Lawton avenue. It is one of the most complete plants in the city. We trust the making of ice in our midst in summer and winter will make ice cheaper at all points, as it will not be compelled to be carried so far.

LOUIS PALLADIUM ALEXANDER Some of our big men and women who are sailing under the colors of big Negroes or mushrooms in the sight of their race. These men and women, the money sharks have got them in their clutches, and they even now banter them and will not pay their bills. We wish to call their attention to these bills, each one knowing the amount he owes. All are teachers, except one, and he is a preacher. We will start off with one who owes $1,200. The other one a lady, who owes $300. Next, $250. Again, $160. Then, $158. One, $100. Last One, $30. All of these live in South St. Louis, except one, the preacher, and he lives south of Washington avenue. Now children go down and see the man for fear of further publication. We shaai still center on the Dirty Dozen, the mushroom, and the big Negro. We saw enough of the them last Monday night. Until some one of them are in the morgue or jail, we will not be satisfied. Last Monday, on an excursion, one of the Dirty Dozen kicked and mistreated a young girl. It is a ply that the girl's father or uncle was not there. Such brutes should be sent to the morgue. Y. M. C.

Miss Zenobia Williams, as president of the class, showed her executive ability in a marked degree. And at the conclusion of the programme invited all to the banquet hall, which was beautifully and artistically decorated in the class colors, maroon and gray. A delightful luncheon was served by the young ladies, consisting of three courses. Monday evening, the 18th inst., the graduating exercises will be held at the Century theater, at 8 o'clock.

What to Present One's Guests on This Gala Occasion—Sweet Peas Arranged as a Flag. Fourth of July favors are now in order. Simple favors are quite as charming for such an occasion as elaborate and expensive ones. The principal thing to be considered is that the favors are not like those to be had at all or most of the shops, that they are new, pretty and inexpensive. First among the favors comes the Liberty Bell, which stanch old emblem of our national liberty has now been reduced to the proportions of a candy or ice cream box. The liberty cap which is shown in the picture is made into a little pincushion or sachet and may be made of bunting, silk, satin or paper in the national colors. The shield decorated box in the illustration is for candy. The box is a white satin one and is hand painted. Cracker and cannon favors are exceedingly neat and attractive this season. They open and may be used for bonbons or ice cream. The cannon and cracker favors are not ex- 1776 MENU APPROPRIATE SOUVENIRS. pensive when bought at the confectioner's. Fan favors are perhaps more attractive than any other, especially as last season's fad for collecting all sorts of small, inexpensive fans is raging more fiercely than ever this season. The fans can easily be made at home. They may be of stiff paper, tissue paper, silk, satin, etc. A simple souvenir fan of the day could be made by decorating a white paper fan with the national colors, having red and white stripes for the lower half and a design of white stars on a blue ground as a border. This decoration may be painted on the fan if one is sufficiently skilled to do this, or stars and stripes may be cut from colored paper and pasted on. White gauze fans and those of white paper or satin are also attractive with a flag decoration, either of one large flag or of two flags crossed, painted across the center or on the side sticks. An exceedingly attractive decoration for a Fourth of July fan is also made of ribbon. Ribbon work is very popular this year on all articles of dress, and a fan trimmed with ribbon work, while calling for quite a lot of work on the part of a hostess, would at the same time be a most acceptable souvenir. It is perhaps because so few flowers of the same variety produce themselves in both a desirable shade of blue and of red that the sweet pea is halled with delight as a Fourth of July decoration. For the decoration of Fourth of July dining tables the sweet pea is used in many ways. One clever hostess has planned this year to have a large, low bed of the flowers in the center of her table, arranged exactly in the design and colors of the American flag. Then, as the guests leave the table, the flag will be broken up, and each will carry off a bunch of the flowers in one of the three colors. A Nice Neck The neck needs as much care and attention to keep it in good condition as the face. You cannot expect to make it white, remove the lines, and fill out the hollows in a few days, when you have neglected it all winter. It should be massaged regularly at least once a day before retiring with a good massage cream, and rubbed up with a rotary motion. The muscles at the side of the neck may be developed by turning the head on the axis of the spine slowly from right to left and back again. Sponging in cold water will aid in keeping the neck firm. Hollow Cheeks. To fill out the hollow cheeks, stimulate the circulation and build up the tissues, there is nothing better than the habit of bathing the face with very cold water every morning, also at night after the facial tubbing with warm water, pure soap and a correct complexion brush. Proper massage, with orange flower skin food and a rotary movement with the finger tips will prové helpful. Make it a practice to slip a glassful of hot milk at bedtime. For Red Eyes. Lotion for weak, tired or inflamed eyes: Fifteen drops of spirits of camphor, one teaspoonful of powdered boric acid, two-thirds of a cup of boiling water. Cool, strain through muslin and apply several times a day with an eyecup. Don't wear spotted veils and never read in a dim light. Bad eyes are usually the result of abuse or neglect What Is "Artistic" for Blonde and Brunette, and for Her That Is Neither One. Blue for the blonde and red for the brunette, with, to use an expression, if slangy phrase, any old color for the woman who is neither the one nor the other, but a sort of nondescript, seems to be the only hard and fast rule. Never mind if the blonde has pink and white skin, with gray-green eyes, in which no hint of blue may be noted, blue is selected for her, and wear it she must, ironically comments a writer in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. As a matter of taste, she should instead wear pale green, deep brown, cerise, blue, pink and black, with any blue that is selected at all, either a navy or a bright turquoise. Yellow for such a type makes an ideal gown for evening, and so will white over green. There is a mauve, with pink lights, that becomes this complexion also. If the eyes of such a blond are blue or violet, still she will not look her best in the pale blues; let her instead wear helliotrope, pink, purple, green in the lightest shades; white or black crimson and mauve. A dark red-brown will also be very becoming and one shade of gray. The real brunette, with dark eyes and hair and plenty of color, has a large choice, except in black, which is rarely becoming. Cream, yellow, Indian red, ivory tints, deep and pale blues, cardinal red, all the tans, coral pink, fawn color, putty and the terra cottas; old rose and rose pink; all are becoming with pale blue, white and pale green, for evening wear. What is called a "fair brunette," where the skin is delicate and the eyes violet or dark blue and the hair dark brown, must be careful in selecting strong colors that will kill her delicate complexion. No such choice as bright yellow or vivid red, but rather the less pronounced shades of both, and all malze, golden browns, gold tans, pale coral, salmon pink and silvery blue. And the girl who is decidedly "brown," like the nut, must use certain colors that will bring out her coloring best. Warm grays, like the puce; red browns, rose red, nasturtium, ceru, apricot color, peach blossom, amber in its tawny tones and ivory white are all good for her. Where the hair is neither light nor dark, the eyes sometimes hazel, more times blue, and again gray or blue gray, great attention must be paid to the coloring of the skin; if that is clear pink and white, all the shades of mauve and purple are good, and also the blues with green in them, and the greens with blue lights. On the other hand, if the skin is sallow, such colors are not becoming. EMBROIDERY DESIGN Intended for Working on a Handkerchief, Work in Satin Stitch and Border in Buttonhole. This design is intended for working on pocket-handkerchiefs. The work is in satin-stitch, with the exception of the border, which is in buttonhole; all should be raised by running out several times before the satin-stitch is done. Fine, soft, embroidery cot CORNER AND BORDER. ton, or one of the beautiful mercerized cottons, should be used for the work. The size of the handkerchief should be decided on, then a piece of paper cut to size, allowing a margin, should have the design arranged upon it. Tracings must be taken of the piece shown; the border could be continued all round handkerchief, and the corner, of course, in all four corners; the whole can then be transferred to the handkerchief by means of blue tracing paper. Light Colors of Summer It is only very recently that ladies have gone out upon the street afoot in gowns of light colored cloth. But this fashion prevailed last season, and will be still more popular this year. Palo Pink, light blue, soft yellow browns and tans and creams will all be worn on the street, side by side, with silver, lobster, crab red and salmon. They make up very lovely suits, which do not soil easily, after all, for one keeps them for nice—not for marketing—and with a little care they last all the season. New Auto Coats. Quite the opposite to the favored bolder is the new design in auto coats. These are expected to cover up the gown effectively, to have full length sleeves approaching a cape size in fullness and to be so loose and easy of fit as to be almost baggy all over. Flesh Reducing. It is said that Vichy and Kissingen tablets will reduce the weight, that the combination acts directly on the fatty tissues. The best and sanest way of flesh-reducing is found in diet and exercise. THEY GAVE HIM A NICKNAME It has been said, according to the Cleveland Leader, that a boy who goes through school and college without a nickname must have lacked some of the elements of popularity. Hon. Wilfred Hosford and his wife, however, did not believe in nicknames, nor did they intend their boy to have one if they could prevent it. "I was never known as 'Wil' or 'Willy,'" said Mr. Hosford, with dignity, "and I see no reason why my son, Wilfred Sawell Hosford, should receive either of those names or the still more objectionable one of 'Bill.'" Wilfred Sawtel Hosford was delicate for the first ten years of his life and received his education at the hands of a grave young tutor. He grew stronger as time went on, and at the age of 12 entered the public school. On his return from the first session he was solemnly questioned by his parents. "The boys are going to like me, I guess," said Wilfred, eagerly. "They've got a nickname for me already." Mrs. Hosford shuddered and Hon. Winfred looked stern. "Do you mean to say you enjoy being called 'Willy' or 'Bill'?" he asked, in his deepest tones. "Oh, they've got a better name than those," said the boy, with a broad grin. "The smartest fellow in the class, Sandy Lane, thought it up almost right off as soon as he heard my name. They're going to call me 'Saw-Hoss.'" ONE ON INSURANCE MAN Adjuster Caught by Sly Storekeeper Who Took Him at His Word. "Insurance adjusters are about as clever and 'smooth' as any class of men to be found," said an old-time merchant the other day, according to the Kansas City Times. "Their logic is always oiled and ready to run without the least jar or friction. Once, however, one of the tribe got slipped up on. His logic got sidetracked on a derrailing switch. I was running a country store which was destroyed by firn. The adjuster came along and then came the battle to get a settlement satisfactory to both sides. We were going over the items burned in the basement. 'Now, what else was there?' asked the adjuster. "There were 20 bushels of potatoes which I paid 25 cents a bushel for; but at the time they were worth 80 cents a bushel." "Hold on," said the insurance man. "We're only paying you for what you lost. No inflated values go. They cost you $5. What else?" "There were four barrels of apples which had rotted on my hands and I was going to throw out that day. The fire prevented it. They weren't worth a cent, but they cost me three dollars a barrel." "The adjuvant saw he was caught. Without batting an eye he wrote: 'Four barrels of apples at three dollars a barrel,' $12." THE SCIENTIFIC SPIRIT. A Carnegie Tale Which Illustrates Its Possession to a Nicety. Andrew Carnegie admires the scientific spirit—his generous gifts science are a proof of that. Nevertheless to his keen humor this spirit offers itself as a goal I prey, and Mr. Carnegie often rails wittily at scientists and their peculiar ways, says the New York Tribune. "The late—the late—but I won't mention the poor fellow's name," said Mr. Carnegie at a scientist's supper. "The late Blank, as he lay on his death bed, was greeted very joyously one morning by his physician. "Poor Blank's eyes lit up with hope at sight of the physician's beaming face. There had been a consultation on his case the day before. Perhaps, at last, the remedy to cure him had been found. "My dear Mr. Blank,' said the physician, 'I congratulate you.' "Blank smiled. "I shall recover?' he asked, in a weak voice, tremulous with hope. "Well—er—not exactly,' said the physician. 'But we believe your disease to be entirely new, and if the autopsy demonstrates this to be true we have decided to name the malady after you.' Missed Fire. The would-be diner had called for ox-tail soup. He looked at the liquor which was bought to him hard and long, tasted it, smelt it, and then beckoned the young waiter—a fresh-complexioned young fellow, whose foot had evidently not been long off his native heath. "I suppose," whispered the customer, confidentially, "that an ox really did dip his tail in this soup at least once—a long time ago—eh?" "No, zur!" gasped the horrified waiter. "No hox never 'ad 'is tail within a mile of that soup—I gives yer my word an' honor for it, zur!"—St. Louis Republic. To Win French Prize. Inventive effort should be turned into a new path by the $20,000 prize of French manufacturers for a new application of sugar in the industries, other than the food industry. The award is to be made after the French consumption of sugar is increased at least 100,000 tons a year. Arbitrarily Fixed Dates No Longer Strictly Regarded by Masculine Wearers. By long established custom the straw hat season in New York opens on Decoration day, May 30, and closes September 15, but in recent years there has been evident a growing disposition to disregard these arbitrarily fixed dates and wear straw hats whenever they are comfortable, says the Sun. This disposition has shown itself not so much in the fall as in the spring, for while by common consent if the weather holds warm straw hats may now be worn after September 15, yet that does still usually remain the closing date. In the spring, now, it is quite proper and permissible to open the season earlier than May 30 if the weather warrants—in fact the wearing of a straw hat long before that date would not necessarily excite comment. Thus when a man—doubtless the first of the present year—appeared in Fifth avenue on April 30, a month ahead of the conventional opening of the season, wearing a straw hat, his headpiece scarcely attracted any special attention, for April 30 was a warm day, on which a straw hat would have been comfortable to anybody. The wearer was a middle aged man and his hat a Panama. It was a comfortable hat, and at the same time not a hat of conspicuous newness. It seemed not only appropriate to the day, but it didn't look strange in any way, not like a hat worn out the first time. So some judgment is still required on the part of the early straw hat wearer if he would present a seemingly appearance, but even the fancy full fashion straw may now be worn, the weather favoring, days earlier than it once was; and so the general fact remains that in these later years people are showing a growing disposition to disregard the old time arbitrarily fixed straw hat dates, and coming more and more in this matter to be governed by comfort rather than convention. HAS CISTERN FOR HOME. Where a San Francisco Man Has Lived Since the "Recent Un- pleasantness. The spirit of the cave dwellers is not dead. This is shown by the temporary home of Maj. I. H. Tomlinson, who has lived since the recent unpleasantness in a cistern at the corner of Broadway and Jones street, San Francisco. The cistern is in the summit of a hill on the Demarest estate and is reached through a short tunnel. A rough opening has been made in the wall, and in this primitive doorway the occupant may be seen smoking the pipe of contentment, as indifferent to earthquakes as were his ancestors of the stone age. A cat shares the subterranean apartment and pictures from the magazines have been pasted upon its walls. It had been the intention of the owners of the property to make a curio room of the cistern, which is about ten feet across, and its walls had been covered with whitewash. The smoke of the confaguration, however, converted this to black. Maj. Tomilinson has found the solid bedrock in which his abode is sunken an admirable seismograph, and says that he has detected more than 100 tremblers since the great earthquake. But neither fire nor seismatic disturbance has terrors in the cistern, which would withstand a Kansas cyclone. "CHURCH SIDE" OF A HAT A milliner who works in a large city says that one day a woman came into the store very much excited, and wanted the trimming on her hat changed. She said that it had been trimmed on the wrong side, relates Youth's Companion. "But," said the saleswoman, "the trimming is on the left side. That is where it ought to be." "It doesn't make any difference whether it ought to be in front or back, or right or left, it's got to be on the church side." "Church side?" gasped the astonished girl. "Yes, church side. I sit right next the wall in church, and I'm not going to have all that trimming next the wall. I want it on the other side, so the whole congregation can see it." The trimming was promptly placed on the "church side" of the hat. Ruins of Nubia. The oldest architectural ruins in the world are believed to be the rock temples at Ipsampool, on the Nile in Nubia. One of the ancient temples consists of 14 apartments hewn out of solid stone. The largest single stone used in this work is one which forms a veranda like projection along one side of the main temple. It is 57 feet long, 52 feet broad and 17—one account says 19—feet thick. This collossal stone is supported by two rows of massive square pillars, four in each row and each 30 feet high. To each of these pillars is attached a collossal figure of a human being, reaching from floor to roof. In front of the main temple are seated still another collossal, four in number, the two largest being each 65 feet high. The ruins are supposed to be 4,000 years old. THE CHRISTIAN WORLD Some Incidents of the Torrey-Alex ander Revival at Phil- There have been many instances on conscience awakened under the influence of the Torrey-Alexander revival meetings which are being held in Philadelphia. A milk dealer was paid a ten-year-old bill by a woman who said: "This debt has been preying on my mind of late, but my conscience now is free. At the internal revenue office $50 was received recently for the conscience fund. No one is free who has a troubled conscience. Those words, "Get Right With God" that blaze out across the Armory auditorium have sent conviction to many a heart. The stirring words of the evangelist have sent fiery darts into many consciences. No hell can be worse than the torture of a bad conscience. The man who has a conscience at peace with God and man carries a little Heaven in his breast. "Thrice is he armed," says the poet, "who hath his quarrel just; and he but naked though locked up in steel, whose conscience with injustice is corrupted. What health is to the body, that a good conscience is to the soul. Conscience is man's most faithful friend or his deadliest foe. Conscience may be "seared with a hot iron," then it is as good as dead. The fears of conscience can never be allayed until the wrong has been righted. A guilty conscience robs one of rest and prevents us from enjoying the fruits of prosperity. Wealth gotten dishonestly burns to ashes under the fires of a guilty conscience. The man with a stinging conscience considers every friend a constable sent from God to grasp his soul. An accusing conscience is a "rod for the fool's back." If you would be happy, friend, keep your conscience clean. GIPSY SMITH IN AMERICA. Famous English Evangelist to Spend Five Months in This Country. The National Congregational Evangelistic committee have invited Gipsy Smith, the famous English evangelist, to spend five months in America, beginning October 1. Referring to his proposed visit, Don O. Shelton, recording secretary of the committee, says: "It is the plan of the committee to arrange, so far as possible, for united evangelical meetings in the cities to be visited by Gipsy Smith. In each city the largest available auditorium will be secured. It is expected that he will spend October in New York, November and December in New England, and January and February in the middle west. Each series of meetings will continue ten days. Full suggestions for thorough preparation for the united evangelicalistic campaign will be furnished by the Congregational Evangelistic committee. Dependence will be placed on prayer and on individual work, rather than on elaborate organization. Gipsy Smith is considered to be one of the most efficient evangelists of our time, and it is believed his coming will greatly aid the evangelistic work of the churches." Lord Ampthill of Madras Lord Amphill, who has recently retired from the government of Madras province, has during the term of his incumbency been one of the most active Christian rulers of India. Upon several occasions he has denounced official programmes whose public functions were not of a character to commend themselves to his Christian conscience. During Lord Curtzon's first visit to England Lord Amphill was appointed acting viceroy, and it is generally believed that the retiring governor of Madras, when he returns to the east at some future date, will go back as viceroy in his own name. Lady Amphill has been as active in all benevolent, educational and religious work as her husband, and she recently presided over the annual meeting of the Young Women's Christian association in the capital. It will be a happy day for the missionaries and Christian teachers of India, says the Chicago Interior, when Lord Amphill returns to their field clothed with powers commensurate with his ability and experience. Chinamen Scattered Around World. More than 3,000,000 celestials are residents to-day outside the limits of the Chinese empire, of whom many have wandered almost literally to the ends of the earth. As we learn from China's Millions: In Slam 1,250,000 are found; in the Straits Settlements 1,000,000; Dutch East Indies, 250,000; Philippines 100,000; United States 100,000; Cuba and Porto Rico 90,000; Cochin China 75,000; Peru 47,000; Burma Borneo 20,000; Hawaii 27,000; Borneo 20,000; Canada 11,000, etc. To the mines of South Africa 28,000 were shipped within a single year. Raise Much Money At the end of the year the fund crea- created by the United Free, church of Scotland to take the place of the property adjudged to belong to the "Wee Free" church, exceeded £150,000. The daily influence of contributions seems nothing less than a miracle. IN STRICT CONFIDENCE Women Obtain Mrs. Pinkham's Advice and Help. She Has Guided Thousands to Health. How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Cured Mrs. Alice Berryhill. It is a great satisfaction for a woman to feel that she can write to another telling her the most private and confidential details about her illness, and know that her letter will be seen by a woman only. Mrs Alice Berryhill It is a great satisfaction for a woman to feel that she can write to another telling her the most private and confidential details about her illness, and know that her letter will be written by a woman only. Mary thousands of cases of female diseases come her fore Mrs. Pinkham every year, she personally, others by mail. Mrs Pinkham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years under her direction and since her decease she has been advising sick women free of charge. Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con- fidence of women, and every testimonial letter published is done so with the intent or request of the writer, in order that other sick women may be benefited as she has been. Mrs. Alice Berryhill, of 313 Boyes Street, Channagoa, Tenn., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "Three years ago life looked dark to me. I had ulceration and inflammation of the female organs and was in a serious condition. "My health was completely broken down and the doctor told me that if I was not operated upon I would die within six months. I told him I would have no operation but would try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable oil. He tried to insure me against it but I sent for the medicine and began to use it faithfully. Within five days I felt relief but was not entirely cured until I used it for some time. "Your medicine is certainly fine. I have induced several friends and neighbors to talk it and I know more than a dozen who had female troubles and who to-day are as well taken care of from using your Vegetable Compound." Just as surely as Mrs. Berryhill was cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every woman suffering from any form of female ills. If you are sick write Mrs. Pinkham for advice. It is free and always helpful. PROFIT POINTERS. Nobody wants an over-anxious man He gets on one's nerves. Did you ever know a "tricky" man to make a permanent success? Matter is composed of atoms.

I took only two bottles of Peruna and one of Manalin, and now I feel better than I have for some time. "I feel that Peruna and Manalin cured me and made a different woman of me together.

They must be active all the time, else the system suffers. There are times when they need a little assistance. SPORTS OF CHILDREN. Skipping rope is a childish pastime of ancient origin. In place of a rope, a vine stripped of leaves was originally used. The childish amusement of riding a cane is of great antiquity. It was practiced by the children of Greece and ancient Rome. The game of hide and seek is another youthful pastime of ancient origin. It came from Europe about the beginning of the seventeenth century. The spinning of tops, a favorite amusement among children in the spring, also came from the Greeks. Records show that this kind of fun was in vogue at the time of Vergil. Leap-frog is mentioned in the works of both Shakespeare and Johnson. It has been played by children from early times, and is still a favorite game with boys. The flying kite derived its name from its originally being made to resemble that species of bird called a kite. The amusement of kite flying is about two centuries old in Europe. Probably it originated in China, where, so records tell, the practice of flying kites is very ancient. Her Favorite Play "What is your favorite play?" asked the girl who quotes Shakespeare. "Well," answered the youth with long hair, "I believe I like to see a man knock the ball over the left field fence as well as anything."—Montreal Star. BUILDING FOOD To Bring the Babies Around. When a little human machine (or a large one) goes wrong, nothing is so important as the selection of food to bring it around again. "My little baby boy fifteen months old had pneumonia, then came brain fever, and no sooner had he got over these than he began to cut teeth and, being so weak, he was frequently thrown into convulsions," says a Colorado mother. "I decided a change might help, so took him to Kansas City for a visit. When we got there he was so very weak when he would cry he would sink away and seemed like he would die. "When I reached my sister's home she said immediately that we must feed him Grape-Nuts and, although I had never used the food, we got some and for a few days gave him just the juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got stronger so quickly we were soon feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and in a wonderfully short time he fattened right up and became strong and well. "That showed me something worth knowing and, when later on my girl came, I raised her on Grape-Nuts and she is a strong healthy baby and has been. You will see from the little photograph I send you what a strong, chubby youngster the boy is now, but he didn't look anything like that before we found this nourishing food. Grape-Nuts nourished him back to strength when he was so weak he couldn't keep any other food on his stomach." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. All children can be built to a more sturdy and healthy condition upon Grape-Nuts and cream. The food contains the elements nature demands, from which to make the soft gray filling in the nerve centers and brain. A well-fed brain and strong, sturdy nerves absolutely insure a healthy body.

Matthew says that six full days intervened. Luke, counting the day on which the conversation referred to took place, and the day on which Jesus and the three went up the mount, reckons the time as "about" eight days. "These sayings" Jesus' words concerning his death and subsequent glory. "Peter and Joan and James." The inner group in closest sympathy with their Master. "Into a mountain." Christ has glorified many mountains in Palestine with memories of his prayerful presence. "To pray." Another glimpse of Jesus' habit of prayer. It would be hard to imagine a busier life than our Lord lived; yet he spent much time in prayer. He ordinarily chose the night for this purpose. This fact, as well as the drowsiness of the disciples, leads us to think it probable the transguration occurred in the night. V. 29. "Fashion . . . altered." In other records it is said: "He was transfigured before them,"—that is, he was changed in his appearance. Luke specifies that the change related to his face and his clothing. Matthew says "his face did shine as the sun." "White and glistering." Literally, "lightening forth." It was because the inward radiance shone through. V. 30. "Two men." They were by some means recognized as Moses and Elias. V. 31. "Appeared in glory." In their glorified bodies. "Spake of his decease. Literally, his "exodus;" Jesus' departure from this world by way of the cross. A few days before this, when Jesus told about his intention to go to the cross, the apostles were surprised and terrified. It would undoubtedly change their feeling to know how these things were considered by the heavenly hosts. But what more fitting theme for conversation could there have been? for was not Christ's death the hour of his supreme triumph, his day of crowding? V. 32. "Heavy with sleep." They are not to be condemned for their frownsiness. Their bodies were faded by mountain climbing; it was probably night time. V. 32. "As they departed (were departing)." As Moses and Elijah indicated that they were about to return to heaven. "Peter said." Impulsive Peter made this move to detain the heavenly visitors. "It is good." Peter could well feel that it was a good place for him and the other disciples, and doubtless this vision proved a great encouragement to them in the days to come. "Tabernacles." Booths of trees such as Israelites were accustomed to make for themselves at the time of the Feast of Tabernacles. "Not knowing what he said." He did not realize at the time—though probably he did later—that this was a foolish suggestion. V. 34. "There came a cloud." A bright cloud, which frequently was a token of Jehovah's presence (Ex. 13:21, 22; 40:34). "Overshadowed." Enveloped them. "They feared as they entered into the cloud." It was not an ordinary mountain mist, but something felt to be supernatural, hence awesome. V. 35. "A voice out of the cloud." The voice of God the Father, heard on two other occasions (Luke 3:22; John 12:28) testifying to his love for his only-hergotten Son. V. 36. "Voice was past." When the voice had ceased. Here Matthew tells us Jesus came and touched them, saying, "Arise, be not afraid." "Jesus was found alone." How long the glorification of Jesus continued is not known, though Luke tells us he did not lead his disciples down the mountain until next day. However, it is more than probable that the radiant appearance of the Saviour lasted for some time after Moses and Elias had gone. "Kept it close." Jesus bade them tell of this scene to no man until after his death and resurrection. Practical Points. V. 29. Everything pertaining to us should show the transforming power of true religion—Rom. 12:2. V. 31. As companionship with Christ becomes spiritual life to us, we begin to appear with him in glory.—Col. 3:4. V. 33. Glimpses of future glory are granted to prepare us for present efforts to bless others.—1 John 3:2, 3. V. 33. Did we see the effect on others of meeting with God, we would want Him, too.—Ruth 1:16.

Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio, is a golf enthusiast who plays a good game, and Victor Murdock, of Kansas, a golf enthusiast who plays a very indifferent game, when swapping stories in the house cloakroom the other day, says the Washington correspondent of the Kansas City Times. "The most remarkable golfer I ever knew," said Representative Longworth, "was a man out in Cincinnati, who had a passion for the game, but who complicated that fervor with an appetite for Scotch highballs that was the wonder of Ohio. "His theory was that there should be a drink server on every tee, and he worked it by means of an army of caddies. One afternoon he came in and announced that he had renounced the game. "What's the matter, Jim?" said a friend. "Oh,' he said, wearly, 'it's no use. I give it up. Whenever I can see the ball I can't hit it; and whenever I can hit it I can't see it.'" Mr. Murdock told this one: "Out in my town Judge Dale, of the district bench, is about the best golfer in our club. One day he had a case on trial in which several small boys had been subpoenaed as witnesses. Addressing a bright youth of about 12 summers, Judge Dale solemnly inquired: 'My boy, do you understand the nature of an oath?'" "Oh, yes, sir," quickly replied the youth. "I often caddied for you, sir." TOLD OF THE TOTS. The father of four-year-old Bessie is a traveling man, and during his absence recently a new baby arrived. Upon his return home a few days later Bessie met him at the door and exclaimed: "Oh, papa, you can't guess who was born while you were away!" Little eight-year-old Ida, attracted by its bright binding, selected from the library a copy of Pope's "Essay of Man" to read. After a diligent effort to understand it she replaced the book, saying to her mother: "It may be easy on man, but it's hard on children." "Noah's wife," said a boy in an examination, "was called Joan of Acre." "Water," wrote another, "is composed of two gases, oxygen and combrigen," "Lava," replied a third youth, "is what the barber puts on your face." "A blizzard," insisted another child, "is the inside of a fowl." A schoolboy in the fifth grade scratched his head for a long time before attempting to "compare the animals of North America with those of Europe." At last, in his desire to say something, he wrote: "The animals of North America are not as large as those of Europe, but they get there just the same." The mother of a six-year-old youngster was mending a rip in his pants while he sat bare-legged on the floor impatiently waiting for her to finish the job. He had been unusually quiet for a minute, and the maternal ancestor asked: "What are you thinking of, my son?" "I was thinking what a nice cigarette picture I'd make." DIETARY DICTA. Dinner should be of a lighter nature in summer than in winter. A quart of wheat contains more nutriment than a bushel of cucumbers. There is a happy mean between eating everything and being squeamish. ing everything and being squeamish. Two pounds of potatoes contain as much nutriment as 13 pounds of turnips. Light soups, light desserts and light meals should have the preference in warm weather. Vegetables and fruits are to be used most generously at that season of the year in which they naturally mature. Beginning the dinner with soup is the very best way to get the whole system in condition for assimilating a hearty meal. LIMB WASTED WITH ECZEMA. Not the Only Hot Place.

Buffalo, N. Y. CONCERNING CLOCKS. Never allow the clock to run down. It responds to regular attention just as surely as a human being does and keeps its course truly when made to follow its endless routine. The hands of a clock should always be turned forward. To set the hands by reversing the right-hand motion is to loosen delicate screws that hold them within reach of various cog slips. Never allow the clock to be moved from the position where it is well balanced. A deviation of two or three minutes a day from the correct time may be the result of an uneven placing of the clock, and once it is properly adjusted it should not be shifted for dusting or for artistic purposes. This is especially true of clocks that have a pedulum. Nothin' Doin'. "Want 'ny ice?" "It's fresh?" "Yep." "Bring me up a two-cent chunk." "Where 're ye at?" "Six floor, back." "Gee awp!"—Judge.

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. F. L.

Love is a dream, but marriage is an alarm clock. No man gives short weight without shrinking his soul. Walls have ears and even wall-flowers 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 pains. 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 Paladium.

SEVEN POINTERS FOR THE READING AND ADVERTISING PUBLIC. (1) THE E. L. LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fide subscribers than any other Negro paper in St.Louis, or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political-Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences.

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.
