Quite an enthusiastic crowd of young men were out to the literary Tuesday evening to discuss the subject, "Reaching the Unreached." A spirit is developing which means more men must be brought under the influence. A mandolin club has been organized and will render some nice selections Tuesday evening next. In addition to this, a piano solo by Mr. Alex Lewis; mandolin solo, Mr. James A. Simpson, and an address by Lawyer George L. Vaughn will be rendered. It is not necessary to be a member of the association to attend these meetings and take an active part. All the men of St. Louis are invited. NOTICE.

Notwithstanding the continued inclement weather that has almost constantly prevailed since June 10, the attendance at the Airdome theater on Twenty-second and Pine streets has been phenomenal. The management are sparing no pains or expense to put on first-class performers, and the bill for the week of June 24, promises to be far better than that of the two past weeks. The show is clean, entertaining and decided up-to-date. The best of order prevails, and the ushers take particular care of ladies and children. Know ye, that M. W. C. G. Williams, grand master of Masons of Missouri and jurisdiction, will make his official visit at Masonic temple, 310 North Eleventh street, Saturday evening, June 23d, 8 p. m. All master Masons requested to be present. By order P. G. STEVENS, D. D. G. Master. A. U. D. OF A. St. Joseph Council No. 500 met last Wednesday, and transacted much business of importance in a business way. The presiding officer was equal to the emergency. The beautiful princess is on the alert, and caused much merriment with a member of Good Samaritan council. The little visiting sister should watch out for the Palladium man. U. B. F. AND S. M. T. Grand Master S. T. Pettegrew is in the city on his annual visit to the order. So far he speaks well for the entire order, and speaks in the highest terms of all he met at all the lodges last Thursday. He will leave in a few days for Southwest Missouri, and return on June 30 to complete his work. KNIGHTS OF TABER The Knights of Taber held their annual sermon at the First Baptist church last Sunday. The order was out in full, and with the different degrees they looked well. The sir knights made a splendid display and represented the true knighthood. The order has lost none of its former brilliancy, there being not less than 500 daughters and sir knights out. The tents made quite an impression. The collection was quite large, and the pastor, Rev. R. H. Cole, made quite an impression upon the order and many visitors present. Does you hair split and break off? Nelson's Hair Dressing is the best remedy. HT & B ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, JUNE 23. 1906. Why the beneficial Order of Seven has called on the churches and societies, is to celebrate the emancipation and proclamation of the 22nd of September, 1862. We are not selfish in our celebration, because we feel it is the duty of every Colored society and church, in fact all of our race ought to celebrate that day, hence the beneficial Order of Seven and the few members of the flag order have banded themselves together in order to make this celebration one of the grandest and greatest that has ever been seen in the United States. We expect delegates and visitors from every state and territory in the union—that is why we call this association of churches and societies of St. Louis and promise to give them $25 a piece; and that we will give every one who will send us the delegates that we ask for. We have always had our celebration without calling on the public. Now, our circle has always been a kind of a secret nature for the past year, but since Judge Vaughan and E. P. Penn have merged together and organized circles in seventeen states in the Union. A circle consists of thirty-three members, and every circle must have a council of seven men. A district consists of two hundred and thirty-one members; a division consists of 1,617 members. Our purpose for having the convention on July 5, 6, 7 and 8, and picnic on the 9th, is to organize and install three divisions in the city of St. Louis, in order that we may have places for our many delegates which we expect from our various circles. You know our hotel facilities are very limited here in St. Louis, therefore it behooves you to prepare your houses. Unless you attend our convention in July, you can not receive our delegates or any of our financial support whatever. The programme will be as follows: July 5th: The committee on credentials and making the organization in the afternoon at 2 o'clock, explaining the origin of our Emancipation Day. July 6th: Report of committee on credentials. In the afternoon at 2 o'clock, election of officers to carry on our September entertainment. July 7th: Speeches by Judge Vaughan, E. P. Peen and George A. White. Abasinia hall, No. 18 South Tenth street, between Walnut and Market streets, St. Louis, Mo. Ask your friends if they read The Palladium. They miss the news and doings if they don't. Again the Sumner high school to the front, and Prof. O. M. Waring is still leading the school to greater heights. We could say much, yet we must deal fair. We've no doubt but what the teachers have tried to do their whole duty, but let us see. In the delivering of the several pieces there seemed to be a breaking away from the natural tone of the individual; there should be more freedom of speech, and a natural action, and, in fact, justice to the entire body. The long dragging of words is not natural, and when the artificial voice and actions are introduced it becomes wearsome to the audience. All seem to have that long droll and modish way of speaking, rather than the natural gifts that they may possess. We could touch on many other points, but we forbear. The exercises were in a manner good, but the apparent form was glaring and should not be carried so far. Jesse Temple opened the exercises with an eloquent oration, "The Building of the West." He is worthy of great commendation and praise for the faultless manner in which he delivered his discourse, as well as for the deep study and ponderous thought he evidently put into it. Those best conversant with the subject were the ones who were the most appreciative. This was the first time that a young man had opened the exercises with such an able address. Temple is a young man who is sure to make his mark in the world and be a credit to his race. His every word reveals calm, sober judgment and fair-mindedness, qualities which are an invaluable asset to any one starting out in life. Jesse Temple is on the threshold of a brilliant career. We predict that he will climb upward and upward, higher and higher, until he is accorded the honors which one of his intellect and general good qualities so well deserves. Miss Mabel W. Rogers' essay was good, and she deserves much credit, although in voice and actions she was not herself. Miss Mary Lou Williams brought out the music of the piano, which pleased the audience. Miss Beatrice Ross' essay was faultless, only her voice was quite weak. That is nature's part. "The Blunders of Balakava," by John H. Duke, was good, and any one can see he has the intelligence of one who will make his mark in life. Miss Lillian B. Mason read her essay with ease and exhibited some of her grandfather's ability "to do and to act" at the right time. Miss Florence T. Black did honor to herself. Miss Beulah C. Berry was extremely good, as was Miss Blanche H. Story. They acquitted themselves well and each did honor to her subject. Miss Story deserves much credit for the ease with which she spoke. Mr. James Harris, violin solo. The vast audience showed their appreciation of his performance by recalling him. Miss Zenobia Williams was good, yet a more freedom of natural action would have pleased the listener still more. Frank B. Wilson. His subject was grand and well handled. This young man's subject was very good, and it aroused the old soldier to the thought of many a battlefield. Prof. Blue's orchestra did honor to the occasion. The remarks of Mr. Robert Moore were very instructive. He showed how the board of education had spent a large sum of money on Summer High school, and he also demonstrated in his speech that the board was the trustee of the people, regardless of race, and they tried to be fair and impartial to a school. Each graduate received their diplomas from the hands of the president of the board of education, Prof. Robert H. Moore, and the audience acknowledged the same by applause. At the election of officers of the White Christian Willing Workers, of 2721 Washington avenue, Monday night, Rev. S. Samuels was again elected chaplain at the poor house. This is his fourth year. He is the first and only colored man that is chaplain of any of our institutions. He certainly deserves credit. He is also a powerful speaker and singer.

BILL PASSED BY THE HOUSE Common Carriers Engaged In Inter state Commerce Must Check Baggage to Destination On Transportation Offered. Washington, D. C.—A bill of great importance both to the railroads and to the traveling public was passed, Wednesday, by the house, under suspension of the rules, regulating the checking of baggage by common carriers. The bill compels common carriers engaged in interstate commerce to check baggage to its destination on transportation offered, whether in the form of what is known as "split tickets" or a regular form of ticket on one line and a mileage or other ticket on another line, to the destination of the baggage. The bill is intended to overcome the practice of roads which now refuse to check baggage to its destination where a ticket to the junction point or termination of one road is offered and a mileage book or other transportation on the connecting road to the destination of the baggage is offered. The bill makes a refusal on the part of the railroads to carry out its terms a misdemeanor and provides a penalty for its infraction. THE PEOPLE WILL PAY. Bill to Pay President's Traveling Expenses Passed By House. Washington, D. C.—The bill appropriating $25,000 to defray the traveling expenses of the president for the next fiscal year was called up under suspension of the rules, Wednesday, in the house by Mr. Tawney, of Minnesota, chairman of the appropriation committee. The sundry civil bill carried an item appropriating $25,000 for the traveling expenses of the president, which went out on a point of order. Mr. Watson, of Indiana, then in the chair, and who sustained the point or order against the item, introduced the bill which the house had under consideration. Mr. Underwood, of Alabama, demanded a second, which was ordered, and a debate of 40 minutes ensued, the measure being warmly advocated by Mr. Cochran, of New York, on the democratic side. The bill was passed, 178 to 68. BUT LITTLE HOPE FOR IVENS. Illinois Supreme Court Refuses to Interfere in Case of Bessie Hollister's Murderer. Springfield, Ill.-The state supreme court Wednesday denied a writ of supersedeas to Richard Ivens, sentenced to hang in Chicago next Friday for the murder of Mrs. Frank C. Hollister. The decision said there was nothing to show that Ivens had been unduly influenced to make the confession, and that the evidence warranted the verdict of the jury. Ivens' attorney announced an intention to take the case to Gov. Deneen. Taken to Board of Pardons. Springfield, Ill.—After the state supreme court, Wednesday, refused to grant a writ of supersedeas to Ivens, Attorney I. W. Foltz took the case to the state board of pardons, instead of to Gov. Deneen, and asked the board to commute the death sentence to life imprisonment. The board will hear the case this morning. Jefferson City, Mo.—The state supreme court in banc, Wednesday afternoon, overruled the motion for a rehearing filed by "Lord" F. Seymour Barrington, sentenced to hang at Clayton, July 26, for the murder of James P, McCann. Unless he can get his case transferrel to the circuit court of the United States or the governor interferes, Barrington will be hanged next month. A GREAT IRRIGATION PROJECT. It is Designed to Reclaim a Tract of 120,000 Acres of Wyoming Land. Omaha, Neb.—James W.

It includes a tunnel through the mountains and a dam 175 feet high. Dual Use of Single Wire.

CUT LOOSE NOW AND DIG! DIG! PRESIDENT'S ORDERS TO THE CANAL COMMISSION. These Results Will Follow the Adoption By Both Houses of Congress of the Lock Type For the Panama Canal. * With the vote of the senate, * Thursday, in favor of the lock * type of canal across the lsthmus of Panama, following similar action by the house, the * type of canal is practically settled and work can now proceed upon a definite basis. Washington, D. C.—"Cut loose, now, and build the canal. The American people want results on the lsthmus, as soon as they can be obtained and I want them. Dig, dig. Congress and the people are behind us in our efforts." Within 48 hours after the completion of the Panama canal legislation, President Roosevelt will issue in effect, the above order to Chairman Shonts and Chief Engineer Stevens. The President Gratified. The president expressed great gratification at the action of the senate in supporting his plan for a lock canal. He has been convinced for several days that the lock type would be adopted. A careful canvass of the senate had been made and he was assured that there would be a safe majority in favor of the lock type, which he has advocated since the report of the engineers' commission was received. The Opposing Senators. It was pointed out at the White House that practically the same senators who voted against the lock canal project also were opposed to the Panama treaty, and so recorded their votes. "The president regards the vote of congress on the lock type of canal as a vote of confidence. Orders will be issued in a few days to push the work as rapidly as possible, and it is announced that before the summer is far advanced as many men and as much machinery as can be profitably employed will be making the dirt fly. Will Give Impetus to Work. Secretary Taft and Chairman Shonts of the canal commission were also greatly pleased at the outcome of the struggle in the senate. For the past two weeks they have been exerting all their influence with individual senators to get them to favor the lock type of canal. Upon being advised of the result of the vote, Mr. Shonts called on Secretary Taft, and began to discuss plans for the prosecution of the work. It was decided that the whole commission should start for the isthmus at an early moment and that Chief Engineer Stevens should accompany it. The steamer Panama will sail Thursday next from New York, and on it the commissioners will embark. ST. LOUIS BRIDGE BILL READY FOR SIGNATURE Washington, D. C.-The senate passed the St. Louis free bridge bill at 12:10 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The house bill was reported to the senate by the committee on commerce Thursday morning with a recommendation that it be amended to grant the right of eminent domain in Missouri and Illinois to the city of St. Louis for the purpose of locating the bridge and necessary approaches and terminals and that the bill so amended be passed. The bill was called up by Senator Stone at noon, and was passed, with the eminent domain amendment, in ten minutes. The House Concurred. Washington, D. C.-The house concurred in the senate amendment to the bill authorizing the city of St. Louis to build a bridge across the Mississippi river. This action passes the bill. MANY MINERS PLACED IN PERIL. Seventy-Five Men Narrowly Escaped Suffocation In a Colorado Lafayette, Col.—Over seventy-five miners employed in the Industrial mine property at Superior had a narrow escape from suffocation Thursday morning, when fire destroyed the shaft house, hoisting apparatus and tipple at the mine. An alarm was given as soon as the flames were discovered, all the men escaped through the airshaft. Homeless Chinese Going Home.

There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each ... 30 Illinois and North Carolin, 12 each ... 24 Mississippi ... 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas ... 12 Missouri ... 9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each ... 18 Washington, D.

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, megazines 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 dispuse news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and orilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW. 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.

TRUTH OF QUARTER—Jesus spoke only words of help and comfort. Review of Christ's Life. It will clarify the minds of the scholars to go back to the beginning and construct a chart showing the principal events in Christ's life up to the transfiguration. This chart the teacher may form before the class, then cover it, and ask the scholars to reconstruct it, in writing, on the spot. In the arrangement Stevens and Burton's Harmony has been followed: I. Thirty Years of Private Life. 5 B. C. to the summer of 26 A. D. Birth. In Egypt. In the temple. II. Opening Events of His Ministry. Summer, 26 A. D., to Passover, spring, 27 A. D. John the Baptist.

Peter's confession (Lesson XI.). The transfiguration (Lesson XII.). The "Miracles and Parables" Review. Most of our quarter's lessons are either miracles or parables. Give each scholar a copy of the following list of questions: 1. What was the miracle (or parable)? 2. What does it show of Christ's character? 3. What lesson had it for Christ's immediate hearers? 4. What lesson has it for us? Ask the scholars to come prepared to answer these questions for each of the nine miracles and parables we have studied, and to apply the questions also to the other three lessons, so far as they are appropriate. Books.—From what Gospel were the largest number of these lessons taken? Which Gospel reports most fully Jesus' Sermon on the Mount? Give titles of the lessons that are found in Luke. Why are we studying three Gospels at once? Places.—1. In what province of Galilee do we see Jesus in these lessons? Where did he preach the Sermon on the Mount? Lesson 1. Where did Jesus work his first miracle of raising the dead? Lesson 3. 2. From what pulpit did Jesus deliver a sermon made up wholly of parables? Lesson 5. 3. From what place was Jesus urged to depart? Lesson 7. Where was John the Baptist put to death? Lesson 8. 4. What distant regions did Jesus visit? Lessons 10, 11. 5. On what mountain, probably, was Jesus transfigured? Lesson 12. Persons.—6. Who charged Jesus and his disciples with breaking the Sabbath? Lesson 2. 7. What Gentiles showed great faith in Jesus? Lessons 3. 10. 8. Who supplied to Jesus what the discourteous Simon neglected? Lesson 4. Who were interested in Jesus' parables so that they sought to understand them? Lessons 5. 6. Who, in the country of the Gadarenes, was healed by Jesus? Lesson 7. 9. Who slew John the Baptist? Lesson 8. Who incited him to do this? Who made the great confessions of Christ? Lesson 11. 10. Who witnessed Jesus' transfiguration? Lesson 12. Teachings.—11. To what have we paid special attention in this quarter's lessons? Quarter's Topic. 12. What was men's verdict about the words of Jesus? Quarter's Golden Text. 13. What did Jesus teach by the story of the Two Foundations? Golden Text, Lesson 1. 14. What did Jesus teach about the weekly Sabbath? Lesson 2. 15. How did Jesus once state his authority over death? Golden Text, Lesson 3. 16. With what words did Jesus comfort a sinful but penitent woman? Golden Text, Lesson 4. Golden Thoughts. We may drop our buckets into empty wells but they will cause no strain on the windlass. Where no fish are the fisherman whip the water in vain. We need an armor for the camp as well as for the conflict. The man who goes through life with an excuse on his lips will probably go into eternity with a lie in his heart. Every man of manly instincts honors a manly man, but even a sneak despises a sneak in his heart.--United Presbyterian. AMERICANS ARE PAINT USERS It has been remarked that the American people consume more paint, both in the aggregate and per capita, than any other people in the world. In a recently published article on the subject it was figured that our yearly consumption is over 100,000,000 gallons of paints of all kinds, of which over one-half is used in the paintings of houses. The reason for this great consumption is twofold: a large proportion of our buildings, especially in small towns and rural districts, are constructed of wood, and we, as a people, are given to neatness and cleanliness. For, take it all in all, there is nothing so cleanly or so sanitary as paint. Travel where we will throughout the country, everywhere we find the neat, cheerful painted dwelling, proclaiming at once the prosperity and the self-respect of our population. Fifty years ago this was not so; painted dwellings, while common in the larger cities and towns, were the exception in the rural districts; because, on the one hand, a large proportion of those buildings were temporary makeshifts, and, on the other hand, because paint was then a luxury, expensive and difficult to obtain in the out-of-the-way places, and requiring special knowledge and much preparation to fit it for use. The introduction of ready mixed or prepared paints, about 1860, changed the entire aspect of affairs. As the Jack-of-all-trades told the Walking Delegate in one of Octave Thanet's stories, "Anyone can slather paint." The insurmountable difficulty with our predecessors was to get the paint ready for "slathering." That the country was ready for paint in a convenient, popular form is shown by the immediate success of the industry and its phenomenal growth in 50 years from nothing to 60,000,000 gallons—the estimated output for 1900. Some pretty severe things have been written about and said against this class of paints, especially by painters and manufacturers of certain kinds of paste paints. Doubtless in many instances these strictures have been justified and some fearfully and wonderfully constructed mixtures have in the past been worked off on the guilleless consumer in the shape of prepared paint. But such products have had their short day and quickly disappeared, and the tooenterprising manufacturers that produced them have come to grief in the bankruptcy courts or have learned by costly experience that honesty is the best policy and have reformed their ways. The chief exceptions, to this rule are some mail order houses who sell direct to the country trade, at a very low price—frequently below the wholesale price of linseed oil. The buyer of such goods, like the buyer of a "gold brick," has only himself to blame if he finds his purchase worthless. With gold selling at any bank or mint at a fixed price, owners of gold do not sell it at a discount; and with linseed oil quoted everywhere at 50 to 70 cents a gallon, manufacturers do not sell a pure linseed oil paint at 30 or 40 cents a gallon. The composition of prepared paints differs because paint experts have not yet agreed as to the best pigments and because the daily results of tests on a large scale are constantly improving the formulas of manufacturers; but all have come to the conclusion that the essentials of good paint are pure linseed oil, fine grinding and thorough incorporation, and in these particulars all the products of reputable manufacturers correspond; all first-class prepared paints are thoroughly mixed and ground and the liquid base is almost exclusively pure linseed oil, the necessary volatile "thinners" and Japan dryers. The painter's opposition to such products is based largely on self-interest. He wants to mix the paint himself and to be paid for doing it, and to a certain class of painters it is no recommendation for a paint to say that it will last five or ten years. The longer a paint lasts the longer he will have to wait for the job of repainting. The latter consideration has no weight with the consumer, and the former is a false idea of economy. Hand labor can never be as cheap or as efficient as machine work, and every time the painter mixes paint, did he but know it, he is losing money, because he can buy a better paint than he can mix at less than it costs him to mix it. Prepared paints have won, not only on their actual merits, but on their convenience and economy. They are comparatively cheap and they are incomparably handy. But when all is said, the experienced painter is the proper person to apply even a ready mixed paint. He knows better than anyone else the "when" and "how" and the difference between painting and "slathering" is much greater than it appears to a novice. Everyone to his trade, and after all painting is the painter's trade and not the householder's. Lloyd George, now a member of the British cabinet, was addressing a meeting in Wales, and his chairman said: "I haff to introduce you to the member of Carnarvon boroughs. He has come here to reply to what the bishop of St. Asaph said the other night about Welsh disestablishment. In my opinion, gentlemen, the bishop of St. Asaph is one of the biggest liars in creation; but he hass his match in Lloyd George." Best He Could Say. "What do you think of these peek-a-boo shirtwaists the girls are wearing?" "Well, they're almost clothes."—Louisville Courrier-Journal. A. F. and A. M Of Missouri and its Jurisdiction. GRAND LODGE.

The number of applicants for the position of detective of the city of St. Louis before the board of police, was quite large, but Messrs. Cooper and W. W. Crockett were the two successful ones. We are pleased and we hope that they will be a great step toward the elevation of the young educated and industrious man. When we learned that the Rev. W. C. Henderson was an applicant, we thought nothing of it, and we believe he is always out for the best thing; but when we learned that Chief Ross, the custodian of True Reformers' hall, was an applicant and was examined, we were struck with astonishment and said, "Behold what manner of man is he?" Men should become a registered voter and be a citizen of St. Louis for four years. Many other applications from Among Aunt Hagar's children were received but all went down in defeat. At the Century last Monday night, several of the employees took it into their heads to swagger through the front and side doors of the building, talking aloud, so much that they annoyed the people. We trust that behavior will be accorded our people next time. It is an undeniable fact that the lower class of white men do not know how to behave in the presence of Negro ladies and gentlemen. A hint to the wise is sufficient. 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 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. Our Grand Master S. T.

The first grand social of Thessalonian church will be given under the auspices of the Chrysthemum club, Thursday evening, June 28, and the ladies of the club are striving to make it an enjoyable affair, and the generous public is cordially invited to attend. A committee of ladies was appointed last Sunday to select and furnish the pastor's office and from all reports Dr. Cole will have one of the finest furnished offices in St. Louis. A general conference of the Baptist of St. Louis was held at Thessalonian church, Thursday evening of last week, and a plea for unity was earnestly made and quite a large crowd was in attendance. 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.

Why is it that at the close of some of our public schools, in giving an outing the children are requested to bring 15 cents for ice cream and other refreshments, then the same is sold to them at the outing? What we want to know is who got the money as they had no expense? Answer. We are, coming back for you next week. WE. Johnson, of, 2307 Papin street, always carries from five to six $20 gold pieces in his pocket, and threatens to cut the Palladium man's head with one of them because he wants to collect 50 cents. SEVEN POINTERS FOR THE READING AND ADVERTISING PUBLIC (1) THE 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. THE DUTY OF A NEWSPAPER. 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. NOTICE. NOTICE. Mrs. Annie B.

The Baccalaureate sermon, delivered by Bishop Abram Grant, June 17, from Matthew 25:29, "For unto him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath," was forceful, logical and practical.

THE M Negro Republic is now, has always been, an in all that pertains to the i Louisans. Attend our ANNUAL west coast of Africa, said he, "In them I saw you three hundred years ago," and he graphically portrayed what three hundred years of contact with Christian civilization had done for the Negro in America, and assured these young people that in President B. Allen, and Registrar Vernon, an alumnus of Lincoln Institute, the race had attained heights in America that it had not yet gained in any other country. In conclusion he exhorted the graduates to make much of their talents, great or small, that at His coming their Lord might receive His own with usury. The annual sermon to the religious bodies was given by the Rev. F. Farley Fisher, of Lion A. M. E. church, Jefferson City, "The Building of Character" was his theme; his text I Kings, 21, 22. During the house of his profound discourse he frequently entreated the young people to build character with at least as much care as Solomon and his workmen fashioned the temple and its pillars. 1895—P. H. Murray issued The Advance. 1896—The Eagle, controlled by C. H. Dodge and W. C. Henderson, headquarters at 1421 Morgan. December, 1896—Sandy Mix died. March 30, 1896—American Eagle published by R. A. Hudlin, -208 North Sixth street. December 13, 1897—American Eagle published with C. H. Dodge editor and James Daniel Miller manager. 1897—Eagle also had on its staff S. J. Wilkinson, editor-in-chief, and J. Daniel Miller, political editor. 1898—James Daniel Miller controls the sctock of the Eagle. 1898—The St. Louis Sun appeared, in charge of Aaron Jones. October 20, 1898—Dr. D. W. Scott nominated against Maj. Pearce for congress. Maj. Pearce was on the regular republican ticket, Scott independent. 1898—The Sun and Eagle appeared as independent or democratic. Nov. 8, 1898—Hon. Dr. D. W. Scott received over six hundred votes, against Pearce (reep), 15,197; Kern (dem.), 12,-861; Joy (reep), 21,125, against Noonan (dem.), 18,512; Bartholdt, 11,899, against Gill (dem.), 8,019, in the Twelfth, Eleventh and Tenth congressional districts, respectively. Dr. Scott has never recovered from this fall. The importance of Jefferson barracks, St. Louis, as a mobilizing station is to be measurably increased. Prof. N.C. Bruce, principal of Bartlett high school, St. Joseph, gave the address to the literary societies on Monday evening, "A New Look," was his subject, and it was treated in most scholarly manner. "Literary Societies" said he, "should be thoroughly conversant with all the great physical, mental and moral questions of the day. Their members should be able to take a new look and a broad look at things as they are in this enlightened age. The position of the Negro in America is far superior to that of the Jews in Russia, or to that of the peasantry in any part of Europe. The privilege to own land and to attend the free public school is not denied. Homer, Virgil and Chauser sighed in vain for such freedom and inspiration as is enjoyed today by the American nation and the American Negro." Prof. Bruce is a pleasing speaker and imbued with a healthy optimism Prolonged applause attested the ap preciation of the audience. JOSEPHINE SILONE-YATES. DEAD BEATS.

"Sir," we said to the stranger whom we were endeavoring to enlist in our society for the preservation of Niagara falls, "now that we have outlined the motives and principles of our organization will you not put your name in the roll?" "Not by a long shot," he growled, relates Judge. "But, sir," we argued, surprised at such a callousness toward the beauties of nature, "surely you, like all other patriotic citizens, wish to see this majestic spectacle of grandeur preserved from the ruthless hands of commercialism." "Don't care & hoot about it," he muttered, turning, as though to leave us. We clutched at his coat lapel and begged him to wait a moment. "Do you mean to say," we continued, "that you do not care if this mighty cataract were changed from a marvelous, inspiring, awe-compelling sight to a measly, factory-dotted cliff?" "As I told you," he answered, shaking himself loose, "I don't care a continental cus what becomes of Niagara. I went there on my wedding tour." Then we noticed a large bump where his bald spot is growing toward his neck. ORACULAR OBSERVATIONS. Many a good resolution quickly runs down at the heel. A pretty girl can teach a man most anything but good common sense. It pays to look a mule in the face when you have anything to say to him. About half of the things bought on credit would not be bought if cash were demanded. Have you noticed that the bottom of a cup of joy that runs over is seldom far from the top? It's a good deal better to think poetry than to write it, and better to write it than to print it. "De reason," said Uncle Eben, "why de elephant an' de mule figures so much in politics is dat one allus want to be on parade an' de other is allius ready to kick."—Washington Star. The more experience men and women have in rearing children, the slower they are to give advice about rearing children. Mrs. Sarah Kellogg of Denver, Colo. Bearer of the Woman's Relief Corps Sends Thanks to Mrs. Pinkham. The following letter was written by Mrs. Kellogg, of 1628 Lincoln Ave., Denver, Col., to Mrs. Pink- ham, Lynn, Mass. Dear Mrs. Pinkham "For five years i was troubled with a trouble." the following letter was written by Mrs. Kellogg, of 1628 Lincoln Ave., Denver, Col., to Mrs. Pinkk- lenn, Lynn. Mass. Dear Mrs. Finkham: "For five years I was tumor, which kept krowing, causing intense agony and Mrs. Sarah Hellogg growing, causing me an intense agony and great mental depression. I was unable to attend to my house work, and life became a burden to me. I was confined for days to my bed, but my appetite, my courage and all hope. "I could not bear to think of an operation, and in my distress I tried every remedy which I thought would be of any use to me, and reading of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to sick women decided to give it a trial. I felt so discouraged that I had little hope of recovery, and when I began to feel better, after the second week, thought it only meant temporary relief; but to my great surprise I found that I kept gaining, while the tumor lessened in size. "The Compound continued to build up my general health and the tumor seemed to be absorbed, until, in seven months, the tumor was entirely gone and I a well woman. I am so thankful for my recovery that I ask you to publish my letter in newspapers, so other women may know of the wonderful curative powers of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." When women are troubled with irregular or painful periods, weakness, displacement or ulceration of the female organs, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation, backache, flatulence, general debility, indigestion or nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female ills. Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years under her direction and since her decease has been advising sick women free of charge. She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass. Remember that it is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that is euring women, and don't allow any druggist to sell you anything else in its place. Happenings in Missouri. Missouri's Great Growth. Walter Williams writes in his East Window column: "The immigration society which has for its purpose the increase of the population of Missouri to 5,000,000 in ten years may find its occupation gone sooner than it now anticipates. The population of Missouri is increasing by leaps and bounds. It is a conservative estimate to say that there are now 4,000,000 people in Missouri where the last federal census showed six years ago less than 3,300,000. The growth has been larger in the last three years than during the same period previously. During the month of May the school enumeration is taken under the law in the 12,000 school districts of the state. This is a census of the children of the school age, 6 to 20 years, in the various districts. It is generally accurate and upon it can fairly be calculated the population. It affords an excellent basis of comparison. The reports of this school enumeration in the different districts are coming in. These reports give abundant reasons for estimating that the population of Missouri is now 4,000,000. Many less conservative estimates make it much larger. Narly every school district shows an increase in the number of children of school age. This may be attributed in part to the fact, which is borne out by federal statistics that the birth rate in Missouri is larger and the death rate smaller than is the average for the United States. The stork is a favorite Missouri bird." The Joplin school enumeration puts that city ahead of Springfield. Carthage, on the same basis, has 15,000 people. Hannibal, Moberly, Sedalia, Macon, Richmond and other cities of the same class show increases of ten to 20 per cent over the school enumeration for the last year. The rural school districts show an equal growth. Another indication of the increase of population is shown by the various city censuses, Examiner Was Wrong. Col. "Bill" Miller, the well known lawyer of Cape Girardeau and a member of the state board of bar examiners, says that among the list of questions he submitted to the graduating class of the university law school at Columbia was one to which each of the students wrote a negative reply. In grading the papers Col. Miller placed a zero mark against each of these answers. Then he got to thinking about the matter and went to each member of the board in turn and put the question to them. Each one answered as the students had, "and," concluded Col. Miller, "I went to the books and damned if I didn't find out that I was the only one in the whole bunch that was wrong on the proposition." Summer Normal at Springfield. State normal No. 4, the new school created by an act of the 1905 legislature and located at Springfield, has opened for its first summer term with a total enrollment of 434 students from Missouri, Louisiana, Kansas and Arkansas. W. T. Carrington, formerly of Springfield, and now state superintendent of public schools, is president of the new normal. He has been here attending the opening of of the institution, but cannot assume charge until his term as state superintendent expires. Ground has been secured for the erection of the new normal buildings. For the summer term the high school and the old Springfield normal buildings are being used. A Woman Fought a Bull. Mrs. George Fitch, more than 60 years old, saved the life of her husband by driving away with an axe a bull which had attacked him. Fitch was attempting to drive the bull into a feeding stall when he became enraged and turned on Fitch with such fierceness that he was knocked to the ground and gored before he could defend himself. Fitch was almost unconscious from loss of blood when his wife came to the rescue with an axe. Mrs. Fitch hit the animal about the head with the sharp edge of the axe and succeeded in driving him away and in dragging her unconscious husband out of danger. A Child Bitten by Rats. While Louise Goldstein, the six-year-old daughter of Benjamin Goldstein, a shoemaker, lay asleep at her home, in Kansas City, rats bit two fingers of her right hand and her right arm. The child was taken to police headquarters where Dr. E. J. Morrow dressed the wounds. It may be found necessary to amputate the right hand of the little girl. Veteran Music Teacher Dead. William A. Hodgdon, 81 years old, superintendent of music in the St. Louis public schools, dropped dead recently while talking to a pupil in the board of education building. Mr. Hodgdon was also supervisor of the schools and had been identified with the board of education in many years. Beach a Compromise. By consent of the city of Sedalia, the suits to forfeit the franchises of the Sedalia Electric Light and Power company, for failure to comply with their contracts with the city, were dismissed in the Johnson county circuit court. The companies must pay $2,500 to the city because of poor service rendered the past year, and deposit $10,000 cash as a guarantee that $50,000 will be expended before December 1, 1906, in improving the two properties, which are owned by St. Louis capitalists. For Two National Parks. The Columbia Herald says: "Efforts are being put forth to establish two national parks in Missouri. Pilot Knob is proposed as the site of one park. The stronger movement, however, looks toward the purchase and preservation of the battlefield of Wilson's Creek, the most important military conflict of the war in the state. The headquarters of the organization which has the Wilson Crtek movement in charge is at Republic, Greene county, with Col. J. E. Decker, an old Union soldier at its head. Col. Decker was a volunteer in an Illinois regiment. A bill is pending in congress to appropriate $50,000 for the purchase of 800 acres at Wilson's Creek and for the preliminary work of making a park. A bill is also pending in congress to place the entire subject of the future erection of military parks under the control of the secretary of war. Col. John P. Tracy, of Springfield, who is pushing the Wilson's Creek bill, rightly declares: 'No other battle fought west of the Mississippi possesses as much significance as Wilson's Creek. No other battle of the trans-Mississippi was so sanguinary. All other battles were incidents of a great struggle. Wilson's Creek was a tremendous fact.' There is not a single national military park in all of the great and rapidly growing empire which lies between the Mississippi river and the Rocky mountains." Ex-Convict Taught Crime. Ex-convict Taught Crime. Shields Lawson, an 18 year old boy was arrested in St. Louis on a charge of having aided in the robbery of the American Express office at Columbia. Two boys had previously been arrested for the crime and one of them, Chelsi Windsor, has confessed, implicating Shields Lawson and Cleveland Hall, son of the circuit clerk, Hugh M. Hall. Windsor is 18 years old and Hall is 22. They were aided in the robbery according to the confession of Windsor, by Lenwood Singleton, an ex-convict who escaped. He taught them how to break into houses. The boys secured $4.55 in money and a diamond ring which Lawson wore when captured. Offered Cash for Man's Wife. Albert L. Kimball, of Kansas City brought suit in the circuit court at Springfield against E. H. Ingram, a traveling salesman of that city, for $10,000 damages for alleged alienation of his wife's affections. Kimball charges that Ingram last January made a cash offer to him to buy Mrs. Kimball. This led to trouble, and Mrs. Kimball, who was then living with her husband in Chelsea, I. T., is alleged to have been persuaded by Ingram to go to Kansas City; Mrs. Kimball brought suit for divorce and when it was dismissed by Judge Neville for lack of evidence, Kimball at once filed suit against the man who, he claims, offered to buy his wife. To Germany for Farm Hands. The problem of farm labor has become acute in many localities in the state, says the Columbia Herald. The factories which have been established in various cities have attracted some young men and the cities have swallowed up others. The smaller towns and the rural districts have not supplied the necessary number of farm laborers and every employment bureau has more demands than it can supply. Malissa Yanksey, of Cole county, has solved the problem by sending to Germany for farm nands. Two young men will come nearly 5,000 miles to work on Mr. Yanksey's farm. Others have followed his example. Charged With Peonage. Acting under instructions from Washington United States Marshall W. L. Morsey and a force of deputies went to Staunton recently and arrested James E. Smith, a prominent planner on the charge of peonage. The accusation is that Smith and others for whom warrants have been issued have been holding negroes in bondage and making them work on a swamp land plantation in New Madrid county. Complete Rural Service. The postoffice department at Washington has made an order granting free rural delivery to every county in the Fifteenth congressional district. County systems are already in operation in two counties and the others will be starved as soon as possible. By the 15th of August it is hoped to have the entire district covered. This is the first congressional district in the country to entirely covered by the rural service. Rich Hill to Have Natural Gas The city council of Rich Hill has accepted a proposition from George W. Stough to furnish the city with natural gas for heating and lighting purposes at 30 cents and for manufacturing purposes, at eight cents per 1,000 cubic feet. The action must be ratified by the voters. His Life for a Dog. Robert Hesse a farm hand employed on the island in the Missouri river near Jefferson City was drowned by the overturning of a skiff in which he was returning to the island from the city. When two-thirds of the way across a dog in the boat attempted to jump out, and in the effort to restrain him Hesse turned the boat over. Monett Loses Its "Grammer". Precise English can no longer be expected from the citizens of Monett since John Grammer has left town. BEAUTY AT OPEN WINDOW. Cultivate Ability to Stand Contact with Fresh Air—Several Morning Exercises. The open window exercises are highly recommended by Mme. Julie D'Arcy, who ever preaches fresh air and deep breathing. The first is the good-morning exercise. You go to the window, throw it wide open and then you throw up your hands. This is called in one physical culture class "the sun exercise;" others call it the Arabian exercise. You throw up your hands toward the rising sun, then you bend low, making your best bow to the world. Then you straighten up and throw up your hands, and then you bend low, sweeping the floor with your finger tips. A very few minutes of this kind of exercise will do. Theoretically it is best to do these exercises before one is dressed, for they require all the muscles. But actually one is a little apt to catch cold. Advanced pupils may take lib- A THE PURE MORNING AIR. erties with the sun and air, but the beginner should go with caution. Then comes the deep breathing. Place one knee on the window sill and extend your hands. Take a deep breath and draw it in quickly. Now expel it slowly. The slower the better. It is good exercise for the chest, but don't tire yourself. Take as many deep breaths as you can, say about 15, bending out of the window so as to get the full amount of fresh air. Then come back into the room again. You are ready for exercise No. 3. And this is one that is now much in vogue in London. The third exercise is the chair exercise. Take a light chair in your hands, lifting it by the back. Swing it this way and that way, taking care to use the muscles of the whole body. The idea is to give you strength and grace. The chair requires balancing and it also needs a little knack. Work at it deliberately and slowly and don't give up until you have lifted and swung it for 15 whole minutes. The beginner can begin with five. These exercises are for old people as well as young. Indeed, they are specially for those who have grown a little heavy. But the woman along in years must be careful. If he has neglected herself for 40 years she cannot expect to make it all up in one day's time. Her beauty stunts must be gradual ones. Never mind the weather. Moisture is good for you. It is specially designed for growing things like yourself. Don't dread a few drops. FASHIONS AND FANCIES. Very Dainty Kerchiefs, Stripes and Checks—The Boa New in Favor —The Corsetel Skirt. THE NEWEST HANDKERCHIEF. A gossamerlike handkerchief, made of gauze and finished at the edge with a thread or reed line, is the latest addition to the fal-lals approved by fashionable women. It is in the coloring of the line threads that diversity of choice is obtained. As a rule, the handkerchief is a pure white or ivory-tinted square; but the border lines are azure, rose, green or amber. Another choice is a handkerchief entirely beige color, stripes and all. LATEST FABRICS.—Checked and plaid fabrics are rife among the fashionably-dressed, and there is also an epidemic of spots and stripes. The checks range from those that are infinitesimally small to the undisguised check-board squares upon the linen fabrics known as tea-cloths. This is the smart fabric of the coming warm weather, which is already being used in London and Paris for the materialization of cotton frocks. THE FASHIONABLE BOA.—The fashionable boa this season will be round instead of stole-shaped. Marabout, which has excellent wearing qualities, is to be worn in the shape of stoles; little cravats of pale pink and pale blue marabout will also have their adherents. CORSELET SKIRTS.—The corselet skirt has decidedly taken a foremost place in fashionable costumes, and it is seen both with slight train and cut short for walking wear; with these, to complete an outdoor costume, the smartest little boleser are seen, ending just below the top of the skirt. There are dozens of different designs in these, some with scalloped edges curving away to nothing under the arms, others cut straight round, and all sorts of fancies may have free play. Red Lips. The best way to bring color to your lips is to build up your general health and stimulate your circulation, so that the blood will go to your lips and cheeks. HOUSEWORK BENEFICIAL. Good for the Figure and Complexion —Suggestions About Ventilation and Sweet Odors. Nearly all kinds of housework are good for the feminine figure and the feminine mind. Washing at the tub is well known to be one of the best things there is; hanging out the clothes is fine, for it gives one exercise and air at the same time, while, in parts of the country where outdoor washing is possible, there is nothing to equal the health of the women and the complexions of the young girls. The rules for housework—so as to benefit the complexion and figure are these: Have the house cool in summer and warm in winter. Try to have the climate even, never too hot nor too cold If the house is too hot in summer open the windows top and bottom and hang up a wet sponge of large size in the windows. If you have no big sponge then hang a wet towel in the breeze. The air will blow cool into the room. In doing your housework, let your room be comfortable. And open the windows. Insist upon having the windows open, no matter what happens The Japanese have no windows, yet their climate is as cool as ours. They make their windows out of porous paper, which lets the air through readily If you were to go into a Japanese house it would strike you as being cold. This is because they like the cool air and are thoroughly used to it The next rule concerns the complexion of the houseworker. It is one which relates to the atmosphere also. Make your house smell nice. It will make a great difference in your health. In selecting your odors go by what pleases you. Let your nose be your guide. The odor that is nice and acceptable is the odor that is good for you. The cook can burn dried apple peelings upon her stove and sweet spices; the woman who is sweeping can scatter powdered lavender nowrens on her carpet; the window washer can make her glasses fragrant by putting a few drops of bath vinegar in the water, the one who is "doing up" the clothes can make them lovely by rinsing them in a final rinse water of spirits of cologne, alcohol and toilet water all assembled in a bouquet, so to speak. ON THE COMPLEXION. Wear Veil in Cold, Dry Winds—Recipe for a Cream to Use Frequently. I seldom allow this time of year to pass without saying a few words on the subject of rough skin, and those little excoriations at the corner of the mouth which are so exceedingly painful and unbecoming, and which are the natural consequence of cold, dry winds. Different constitutions and different skins suffer in various degrees, and few of us escape altogether, however pachydermatous may be our integuments. With the introduction of the motor, a new and most prolific source of this trouble has been introduced; even the motor veil is unavailing against the blue-nose north-easter when traveling 18 miles an hour in the teeth of the wind. In spite of the inefficiency of the ordinary veil to protect the skin from the causes which lead to roughness, I recommend all those who can to take this small measure of precaution, and to wear the thickest device. The actual treatment of excoriations of the skin which are due to cold, dry winds is, comparatively speaking, a simple matter, for the very best that you can do is little better than mitigating the evil. Cure the condition you cannot until a change in the weather effects the natural cure. Many people employ simple creams and there is a certain amount to be said in favor of this kind of treatment, for they are distinctly more agreeable than greasy or oleaginous preparations. Now, although as I have already said, neither is in the least likely to effect a cure, I think on the whole an ointment should be used, whenever possible, in the place of the more popular cream, and the ointment which I have found to be of the most service in this connection is one that contains sulphur and a small quantity of opium. A recipe for such an ointment I now give you: Take of lanoline and lard half an ounce each, add to these ten grains of precipitated sulphur, eight grains of boracic acid, and three drops of rose water. PRETTY POINT LACE. Not Only Is the Design Good, But the Stitches Are All Simple, the Whole Easy. This is an effective and easily worked lace, the stitches employed being all very simple. Muslim and small fancy braid are used with thread No. 70. Materials required for one yard: Seven yards braid, one and one-half NOT HARD TO MAKE. yard purl edge, one skein thread No. 70. It would be suitable for edging a handkerchief, tie, or make a nice turn-over. Attractive little dolls are seen bordered with this lace. TONIC TREATMENT Weak Stomach and Sick Headache Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills The symptoms of stomach troubles vary. Some victims have a ravenous appetite, others loathe the sight of food. Often there is a feeling as of weight on the chest, a full feeling in the throat. Sometimes the gas presses on the heart and leads the sufferer to think he has heart disease. Sick headache is a frequent and distressing symptom. A weak stomach needs a digestive tonic and that there is no better tonic for this purpose than Dr. Williams' Pills Pills is shown by the statement of Mr. A. C. Merrill, a mining man, of Oneals, Calif., a veteran of Battalion C, Third U. S. Regular Infantry. "I had never been well since I left the army," he says, "always having had trouble with my stomach, which was weak. I was run down and debilitated. Could keep nothing on my stomach, and at times had sick headache so bad that I did not care whether I lived or died. My stomach refused to retain even liquid food and I almost despaired of getting well as I had tried so many kinds of medicine without relief. Then I was bitten by a rattlesnake and that laid me up from work entirely for a year, six months of which I spent in bed. "One day a friend recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to me and I began taking them. They cured me when all other medicine had failed. I have recommended the pills to a great many, for during my recovery every one asked me what was helping me so and I told them Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I cannot speak too highly of them." If you want good health you must have good blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood and restores shattered nerves. They are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50c. per box, six boxes for £5.0 by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schectendy, N.Y. TOLD OF THE TITLED. The sultan of Turkey is a great collector of canaries. Lord Tweedmouth, first lord of the British admiralty, is an assiduous collector of old china. President Diaz returned the other day from a hunting trip with three mountain cats and 17 deer. Mexico's president is only 76. Prince Khilkoff, formerly minister of railroads in Russia, and builder of the Trans-Siberian road, intends to make a tour of inspection of the railroads of this country. Frederick VIII., king of Denmark, is said to be in the habit of inviting editors of leading political organs to visit the castle to discuss the different political issues of the day. Prince Kotchoweff, a Russian, has been ordered by the Berlin courts to pay $780 a year for life to a waiter whom he assaulted during the Russo-Japanese war in a Dresden hotel. King Alfonso of Spain is devoted to the pleasures of the table, and keeps a cook up until four in the morning. Five meals are served in the 24 hours at the Escurial palace. Sir Edward Clarke, the brilliant member of parliament who is making his presence felt by denouncing the idea of a tax on meat or corn, started as a jeweler's assistant in his father's store. In appointing his son, Lord Bruce, as his private secretary, the earl of Elgin only followed the example of the late William E. Gladstone, who, when he became prime minister in 1880, appointed Herbert Gladstone, then a young man of 20. to a similar position. The duke of Norfolk is a man of simple tastes, and yet he is the possessor of the most extravagant costume in England. The uniform which he wears as earl marshal represents an outlay of over $1,500 exclusive of jewels. Seventeen thousand yards of embroidery are worked into the coat in gold lace until but little of the original cloth is to be seen. His grace feels more at home in his old clothes.

Jewitt, lawyer,, politician and man of sarcastic wit, was once trying a case {n the supreme court in ofast, Me., his home ely. The judge presiding, before bel called’ to the tench, had tried many cases against Jewett, who did not entertain a very high opinion of his ability, relates the Boston Herald. In his closing argument Jewett, in deflance of the rules of the court, started In to read some law to the jury. ‘The court pounded on the bench and sald: “Mr, Jewett, you must not read law to the jury in your closing argu- ment.” Jewett kept on reading with- ‘out so much as a glance at the court. ‘The court, in thunderous tones, order- ed him to stop. Jewett, who had by this time read all he intended to read, turned calmly to the judge and said: “Did your honor.address me?” “T said,” roared the judge, “you raust not read law to the jury in your closing argument. 1 will give the law to the jury.

KNOWS NOW Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Caso for a Tithe. It's easy to understand how ordi- nary people get fooled by coffee when doctors themselves sometimes forget the facts. A physician speaks of his own ex. perience: “I had used coffee for years and really did noc exactly believe it was injuring me although I had. palpita- tion of the heart every dzy. “Finally one day a severe and al- most fatal attack of heart trouble frightened me and I gave up both tea and coffee, using Postum instead and since that time I have had ab- sojutely no heart palpitation except on one or two occasions whén I tried @ small quantity of coffee . which caused severe irritation and proved to me I must let it alone. “When we began using Postum tt seemed weak—that was because we did not make it agcording..to. direc- tions—but now we put a dittle bit of butter in the pot when boiling and allow the Postum to boil full 15 min- utes which gives it the proper rich flavor and the deep brown color. | “I have advised a great.many of my friends and patients to leave “off coffee and drink Postum, in fact I daily give this advice.”: Name given dy Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The presiding officer, Rev. J. Scott Lidgett, M. A. opened the ses sion with an address upon the “World- Wid Mission of” the Christian Church,” defending the activity of the Free Churches in national and international politics. He passed in review the recent legislation of Eng: land in matters of education, the liquor traffic, Chinese labor, and gexé r- al relations of employers and em- Ployes. Among the well-known speak- ers were Dr. Rendel Harris, Dr. John Watson, Mr. George Cadbury, Mr. W. T. Stead and Rev. J. H. Jowett. Res: olutions strongly reaffirming previous deliverances in favor of a system of public schools religious but undenom- {national, were passed. The Free churches are strongly opposed to the acts of the late parliament, whitch con- verted a license to sell liquor into a vested interest which cannot be taken away without compensation, and also to any and all forms of servile lagor such as that which Chinesé coolles sre introduced into the South Af rican mines, The council was a nota- ble one, and meeting so soon after tlre great victory of nonconformity: at tho polls, was naturally an enthusiastic one. REVIVAL IN MADAGASCAR. ‘New Evidence That Early Work Done in Island Was of an Endur- ing Character. The Gospel, which wrought such wonderful changes of life in Mada- gascar 50 years ago that the infidels of England sent a special commission to that island to disprove if possible the report sent home, has this winter in the same quarter of the world shown anew that it is not a spent force. Through a great awakening in South Betsileo some 1,300 converts have placed themselves under the, in- struction of Christian leaders. About onehalf of this number come from the mission schools, but the others are received direct from heathen vil- lages, They have thrown away their idols, adopted the customs of civill- zation, and are asking to be taught the way of God more perfectly so that they may share with their Christian neighbors the blessings of the Gospel. This places upon the native church and the Paris Missionary society a heavy responsibility, for their re sources have not been adequate to carry on their normal work. The Madagascar chureh is naturally call- ing’ just now for volunteers to assist in caring for this great increase of their Christian flock. Vesper Services at Zurich. Bishop William Burt’s vesper serv: ices during the past winter in the Methodist Episcopal church in Zurien, Switzerland, were greatly enjoyed by the English-speaking residents and vis- itors. This foreign colony consists largely of those who are in Zurich to avail themselves of the technical and ether schools which are among the very first in Europe. It is not strange that so many of them ‘welcomed these op- portunities for intellectual and spirit- ual enrichment. Bishop Burt also he: a Bible class in English, during the week, with an attendance of from 30 to 50. ‘Inis is the only time of the year that the bishop can devote to regular dutis in Zurich, as his engagements fu middle and northern Europe during the most of the year are constant and laborious. Good C..E. Meetings in Sweden. A report from President F. E. Clark, D. D., president of the World’s Chris- tian Endeavor union, sont from Stock- hom, states that he has held very large Curistian Endeavor meetings both in Christiania and Stockholm. In the 1ormer city King Haakon gave him permission to! speak in the ca thedral on Christian Endeavor, for he only can grant foreigners permission to speak in the Dom. There was a very large audience, including the bishop of Notway and niany of the clergy, and much interest was mant- fested, hundreds standing im thy aisles. Would Change the Wording of Creed. ‘At Valparaiso, Ind, April 12, 43 2resbyterlan churches of northern In- fiana declared, after a full discussion at the meeting of the Presbytery, that the words “eternal torment,” which haye stood in the Presbyterian creed for 50 years, ‘should, in their opinion, be stricken ut. The ministers who were present favored the substitution of the word “destruction” for “eternal torment,” declaring the latter phrase to be unauthorized by the Bible and that its use retards the growth of the chureb.
