ST LOUIS PALLADIUM WRIGHT & BOLEN, Druggists, 2333 Market Street Member Negro Business League. Meet Me at the Fountain. Vol. XXII. No. 20 [Name] [Name] BISHOP H. M. TURNER, The man that speaks his thoughts at all times. THE T.C.S.CLUB 5,000 PEOPLE AT BLOEMECKE'S GROVE LAST MONDAY TO WITNESS THE OUTING OF THE T. C. S. CLUB. Again the above club has broken even their own record. The people were crowded in the park like sardines. Harry Denny, Noah Warrington and Sonny Mack eclipsed everything that was ever at the grove, and not a cross word was uttered. It was one of the most orderly gatherers we have ever seen. Many well-known faces were there. Mr. W. Coleman was, as usual, surrounded by the fair sex, and spending money like a king. Mrs. Reddick, of 1818 N. Grand avenue, and her lovely daughter, Hattie, were the center of attraction. Mrs. Reddick, with her roll of greenbacks, asks no lady any odds. Hattie was as charyning as a peach and as pleasant as they come. Miss Mamie Bell had two beauts, Mr. Chas. Dickerson and Mr. M. Sisk were working for the prize. The dashing Mrs. Warrington, of 2111 Chestnut, was also the center of attraction, and she bore her honors well. Mrs. Warrington knows she is a noble looking woman. Mrs. Denny, of 1431 Morgan street, looks like a girl of sweet sixteen. The secretary of the Jefferson club and several others made it very pleasant for Mrs. Harry Denny. We can only say no fairer lady was on the grounds, and Harry had better get and stay closer to his precious jewel. Mrs. Sonny Mack, of 26 S. Fourteenth street, was looking very pleasant and lovely to look upon. She is a noble looking woman and takes things easy. Miss Mahala Donohue caused much merriment by her ladylike bearing. She is a beautiful young lady, and now is the time for some good man to get a prize. She is well educated and as pretty as ladies get to be. Mr. William Owens was taking items and wondering how he could get the people together like Denny, Sonny and Warrington. We can only say the way is to get among the people and don't attempt to be a mushroom. On our rounds we beheld the generous and good man, Sam, "The Tailor," of 204 N. Fourteenth street. He came on the gounds with $200. He came to make some other person happy, and could you have seen him you would have been convinced. Everywhere you would find him men and women received his generosity, and when he departed for home he had only $20 left out of the $20, yet he felt that he had somebody happy. Mrs. Johnson, of 1407 Lucas avenue, was as happy as women get to be, and she told our reporter if Mr. Johnson, her son, did not satisfy the reporter WRIGH that she would. Would to God there were more sponsals for our—our—well, you know. Miss Annie Tidwell and her niece, of 4210 N. Second street, were there enjoying themselves. Prof. Jucky was on deck taking items. His wife will leave in a few days for Chicago to spend several weeks. She will then return, and Prof. Lueky will leave on the 23d with the K. of P. Miss Nell Smith, of 22 Valentine street, was looking very charming. James Sydnor, of 2229 Pine street, was there looking for, for, well, you know. Mrs. Cheatham and her lovely daughter were there. Mrs. Cheatham left soon, but, ah, what a time that lovely daughter had when mamma was out of sight. We know. We saw a big Buck Nigger pull at a young lady. But you ought to have seen her lay that Coon out. When she had finished he looked like 4 cents' worth of dog meat. She formerly lived on Lucky street, in 4000 block. Mr. Will Connor was looking as sober as a judge. He resembles Mr. Geo. Williams, of 715 N. Twelfth street. We baptized him as a Deacon Williams or a Baptist Preacher. Much more we could say, but space forbds. The Broadway line ran two and three cars at a time after 2 o'clock trying to get the people in. There never was such a gathering. The T. C. S. club broke their own record. Five thousand people on the ground. NOTICE Last week in the write-up of Sumner High School graduation we left unmentioned the names of Misses Ella Alexander and Lula H. Porter. We wish to say that we had them marked "Very Good" in both cases, and it was a clear oversight, but not intentional. WE GO AGAIN To Montesano Springs Next Monday morning, July 2nd, on the palatial steamer City of Providence. You who were left, of course, will be with us, and you who went will go again. There will be good order and plenty of refreshments. THE ST. LOUIS, COLORED OR THE ST. LOUIS COLORED ORPHANS' HOME. MRS. M. L. HARRISON. President.

The Young Men's Social, Musical and Literary club are well pleased with their new location, 2018 Chestnut street. Emanuel Brown, president; Geo. B. Vashon, vice-president; W. H. Fields, secretaary. The Abyssinia Cafe, 8 S. Tenth st., formerly Masonic Temple (between Market and Walnut st.) will be opened June 30, 1906, by Mrs. Thos. A. Jordan. Dinner will be served daily from 11:30 to 3 p. m.

In the fall Alma will go from New York to Boston to enter the New England Conservatory, she will have her voice trained. Mrs. W. Wallace entertained a party of ladies in honor of Mrs. Anna Stars, of Dallas, Texas, Monday afternoon. Luncheon was served in regular order. Those present were: Mrs. J. P. Watkins, of 2733 Lawton avenue; Mrs. H. J. Porter, of 2328 Walnut street, and Mrs. J. Reid, of 2500 Eliot avenue. Grand Master S. T. Pettigrew finished his work of the order in St. Louis and then departed for South Missouri. He returned to-day, and will leave soon for other parts in the jurisdiction. He finds all well in St. Louis, and what was not straight he straightened it. We do hope that our subscribers and advertisers will settle up with us, as we are in need of a little cash to settle our bills. Our liabilities are not more than $75.00, but they are in small sums from $5.00 to $12.00, and, like flies, they bother us very much. With $60.00 cash from our advertisers and subscribers, we could swing clear of all debt and be a free man. Mrs. C. H. Henderson and daughter will leave soon for Denver, Colorado. Mrs. E. Thompson, of 2707 Baldwin street, died Friday, and was buried Monday from Central Baptist Church. Mrs. Eugenia Coachman, of 3632 Armour ave., Chicago, ill., spent a very pleasant day with Mrs. J. H. Stacker, of 2229 Walnut street, last week. The Spiritual Christian Union have set in their new organ. They thank their many friends for their donations toward it. Mr. Saunders, the organist, is well pleased with it. Mrs. J. H. Morris, of 2018 Chestnut street, the mother-in-law of Emanuel Brown, has been very feeble for the past few days, but is better now. We hope she will continue to improve. The death of Miss Amelia Clark, of 2305 Chestnut street, last Monday, was indeed sad, and if the perpetrators of the act can be found, he or she ought to leave this world by the hemp route. Rev. J. Ralston Kenan is agent for Rev. H. Chas. Pope with the wonderful show and stereoptic views, better known as "The Devil's Cook Kitchen," also "Seven Reasons Why God Did Not Kill the Devil." Watch for further publications in Palladium. The New York All Star Vaudeville Company, which plays at the Abyssinia hall, 18 South Tenth street, is one of the strongest organizations on the road. The management have introduced a decided novelty in playing an entire white company in St. Louis. The company is composed of New York and Boston artists, and is one of the finest. The very best of singing and dancing and scenes from Shakespeare and the best dramatic authors. The managemeit of the company recognize the fact that proper entertainment is not afforded the Colored people in St. Louis, and that is the want we try to fill. The performance will commence at 8 o'clock and the dance that follows will commence at 10:30. Prices, 25 cents admission and 10 cents extra to dance. OFFICE SECOND AFRICAN BAP TIST CHURCH, SAVANNAH, GA. Dear Editor—We are yet alive and making some progress in this section. We had roll call last Sunday at 4:30 in our church (the first one in nine years), and it revealed the fact that we are 800 members stronger than we thought heretofore. Three hundred members' names were dropped from our records. We are to put on seven new deacons next business meeting, which will make 15 deacons on our church I will ask the Nationa gust or September, in which we must raise $1,600.00. I've taken in 37 members since my arrival here. The prince of revivalists, Dr. C. T. Walker, will conduct a meeting for me. Our church will ask the National Baptist Convention (in session at Memphis, Tenn., in September) to meet with us in 1907. Missouri will be expected to vote for Savannah, of course. Four of the best churches of this state are pastorless. Why don't some St. Lous divines see to them? Will write more later on. J. H. MAY, Pastor Second African Baptist Church, Green Square, Savannah, Ga. THE POMBIEROS JULY 6. In order that the Colored ladies and children of St. Louis and vicinity may enjoy a day of rest and happiness in the beautiful Bloemecke grove, 6200 North Broadway, the famous Pombieros will give a monster picnic and outing Friday, July 6th, and all ladies and children will be admitted free of charge. Large crowds are coming from Alton, Brooklyn, Belleville, Edwardville, Collinsville, East St. Louis, St. Charles, Kirkwood, Webster Groves and other points as guests of the Pombieros, and no doubt the largest crowd of this season and season's past will avail themselves of the chance to meet their friends and have a jolly time, free of charge. Mr. James L. Haley will again be director of admission, and special precaution has been taken to prevent the entrance of objectionable characters. Good music will be furnished by the First Regiment band, and the dance hall in charge of Mr. Hobert Mims, one of our popular dancers. Refreshments in abundance, under the supervision of Mr. Jos. S. Mason, so don't fail to really get something for the ladies and children free. Ask your friends if they read The Palladium. They miss the news and doings if they don't.

He will speak in some of the largest towns of Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Georgia, including Enterprise, Miss., his old home. His subject will be, "The Right of Way." After all of his engagements are filled he will spend a week on his mother's farm, and while there he will finish his book, which he started some time ago. We wish him much success. COULD STAND IT NO LONGER. Mr. Anderson Russell and Miss Priscilla Pringle were united in the holy bonds of matrimony a few days ago. They will now start a new life journey. We hope that prosperity and happiness will follow them—this is the wish of the Palladium. Now we look soon to hear of the marriage of W. C. Gordon to one or the other. They both live on Lawton avenue. One has appeared on the scene later, but one of the two former will be the successful one. The Palladium is pleased with either one. Here are others, Misses Annie B. Russell to _____, in about six months. THE SPIRITUAL CHRISTIAN UNION Meets at 2720 Morgan street (Masonic building), every Friday evening at 8 p. m.

THAW DIDN'T TESTIFY Autopsy On White Revealed the Fact That Death Would Have Overtaken Him Within Two New York.—Harry Kendall Thaw was indicted Thursday, charged with murder in the first degree for the killing of Stanford White on the Madison Square roof garden. His wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, appeared as a witness before the grand jury, but was excused from giving testimony by Assistant District Attorney Garvan and by the jurors, who did not insist that she should answer questions. Thaw will plead to the indictment in court, but no time will be set for the trial until District Attorney Jehome returns to the city next week. Witnesses Summoned. In the meantime witnesses have been summoned to appear in John Doe subponaes at the district attorney's office. The grand jury's consideration of the case followed an inquest before a coroner's jury, which heard the testimony of several eye witnesses, and rendered a formal verdict that White's death had been caused by Thaw. Chatted With Counsel. The latter calmly listened to the testimony, and while the jury was out he chatted with his counsel and a policeman sitting near, laughing aloud at one stage of the conversation. When the jury had completed its verdict Thaw was recommitted to the Tombs without ball. White-Had But Short Lease. In the opinion of the physician who performed the autopsy on White's body, the life of the architect was shortened not more than two years by the bullets from Thaw's pistol. He was found to be suffering from Bright's disease, from incipient tuberculosis and from fatty degeneration of the liver. A Mysterious Letter. Thaw sent a message from the Tombs to Anthony Comstock, president of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, saying he had received a letter which it would pay Mr. Comstock to investigate. THE LONGWORTHS PRESENTED AT COURT London.-The court, Thursday, was made notable by the presentation of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. The royal circle was numerous and the procession of the king, queen and officers of state, was exceptionally brilliant. The king's breast glistened with ornaments and the queen wore beautiful jewels. President Roosevelt's daughter excited general attention. She wore her wedding gown, with a diamond ribbon at her throat and her hair was simply dressed. After the presentations, King Edward and Queen Alexandra passed to the supper room and immediately sent for Mr. and Mrs. Longworth to join them. Washington, D. C.—President Roosevelt has been worsted in an endurance test for the first time. So great has been the strain he has imposed on himself during this session of congress that his friends are apprehensive that serious consequences will result if he does not take a complete rest during the rest of the summer. Mr. Roosevelt has been advised that if he does not rest he may have occasion to regret it, and therefore a very quiet and domestic programme is being arranged for Oyster Bay. He will see very few persons, and these mostly men on pressing matters. CAUSING A REIGN OF TERROR. Fagan, a Negro Deserter, Leading Gang of Cariboo Thieves in Pangasian, Luzon. Washington, D. C.—Fagan, the renegade negro, who deserted from the Twenty-fourth infantry in the Philippines, caused a reign of terror and was reported to have been killed, has come to life, and is reported to be leading a gang of cattle thieves in the province of Pangasian. The bang is engaged in steading cariboo. Guests of Ambassadore Cambon. London, England.—M. Paul Cambon, the French ambassador to the court of St. James, gave a dinner, Thursday evening, at the residence in Hyde park to Ambassador Whitelaw Reid and Mrs. Reld and Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. Ticket Brokers Enjoined. Omaha, Neb.-Judge Munge, sitting in the federal court, Thursday. issued a temporary injunction, return- able July 10, to restrain all ticket brokers operating in Omaha from dealing in special railroad tickets. MISSOURI GLEANINGS. Thomas' Reports not in Files. Jefferson City—It has developed that the monthly reports, which should have been made by former Treasurer Thomas of the state insane asylum at Fulton, are not on file in the auditor's office for the years 1897, 1898, 1899 and 1900, with the exception of the first three months of 1897. Whether they were made and were then taken from the office, or whether their presentation and submission was not demanded, is something unknown. Thomas' shortage of more than $40,000 is now being inquired into at Fulton, with the view of ascertaining the liability of the bondsmen, several of who mare claiming exemption under the statute of limitations. These missing reports may have a bearing upon the contention urged by the bondsmen, in that there may be greater difficulty in showing that the peculations were really committed by Thomas. For a Greater Springfield. Springfield—With the object of making this a city of 100,000, a committee of 100 has been appointed to devise ways and means to aid in bringing about this result. The committee is comprised of leading citizens, and will work in conjunction with other local commercial organizations in bringing new enterprises here. Civic improvement is one of the plans. The committee will devise ways for paving three or four miles of streets and constructing new sewers. A new court house and viaducts across the Jordan valley will also be taken up. Anent Smith Peonage Case. Sikeston—The three Smiths, against whom two true bills were returned to Judge Finkelnburg by the federal grand jury at Cape Girardeau, have returned here and profess to be in no wise worried over the ultimate outcome of their cases. Each indictment contains 44 counts, representing testimonies given by negroes alleged to have been held in slavery on the Smith farm. The large number of witnesses examined is considered proof that the government is going thoroughly into the case. Killed on Eye of Marriage. Kansas City—The dead body of Dr. C. L. Spaulding, aged 37, a prominent physician, was found at the bottom of an elevator shaft at Eighteenth and McGee streets. Spaulding, who had an office on the third floor of the uncompleted building, is believed to have accidentally fallen into the shaft, which was not, it is alleged, properly protected. He was to have married the niece of David T. Beals, a banker, within a few days. Frog in Man's Stomach Croaks. Frog in Man's Stomach Croaks. Metz—R. Stewart, aged 33, a farmer, consulted a local physician for an operation to remove a live frog from his stomach. He says the frog jumped into his mouth while he was lying on the ground, 21 years ago, and that it croaks after each rain, and shows a restless disposition when he misses a meal. How He Would Postpone Death. Mount Vernon—Edward Bateman, under sentence of death, insists that he ought to be allowed to serve a two years' penitentiary sentence, previously passed upon him, before he is hanged. Mrs. Myers and Hottman Respited. Jefferson City—Gov. Folk granted a respite of execution until September 3 to Mrs. Aggie Myers and Frank Hottman, who were to have been hanged June 29 for the murder of the woman's husband. The Work of Lightning. Versailles- Seventeen steers, the property of Price Hunter, and a valuable driving horse, belonging to P. G. Woods, were killed by lightning in a pasture ten miles east of here. Sentenced for Illegal Voting. SENTENCE FOR IGNORE Voting. Kansas City—John Feely and John House pleaded guilty to illegal voting at the recent election, and each was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Homestead Land Going Fast. Springfield—There are at present 100,000 acres of Missouri land subject to homestead or cash entry, a decrease of one-third since July 1, 1905. Bland Appointed Police Commissioner. Jefferson City—Gov. Folk has appointed Theodoric N. Bland as police commissioner of St. Louis. He will pay special attention to bucket shops. Explosion 'Does Great Damage. St. Louis—The explosion of an ammonia tank damaged the Polar Wave ice company's plant $40,000, mostly to machinery in the tank room. Farmer Drinks Carbolic Acid. Perrville — Lawrence Moranville, aged 50, a farmer near here, drank carbolic acid and died before medical aid could be summoned. Joplin Grants Franchises. Joplin — Three franchises have been granted to street railway companies by the city council. Dead Body Found in Pasture. La Russell — The badly decomposed body of an unidentified man, about 45 years old, was found in the Brayshaw pasture northeast of here. Folk Speaks at Trenton. Trenton — More than 7,000 people listened to an address by Gov. Folk at the opening of the nine-day session of the Trenton Chautaqua. Train Kills Railroad Man. St. Charles—Alex Thompson, of Big Springs, an employee of the M., K. T. shops here, was struck by a passenger train and killed. SOUTHERN RAILWAY Shortest Line ST.LOUIS to LOUISVILLE LEXINGTON, KY.

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

THE RAILROAD RATE BILL Synopsis of the Important Provisions of the New Law. The Term Common Carriers Includes Railroads, Express Companies, Sleeping Car Companies and Pipe Lines—Passes May Be Issued to Railroad Employees—Authority of Commission to Fix Rates. Washington.—The following is a synopsis of the important sections of the railroad rate bill. Section one makes the law apply to corporations or persons engaged in the transportation of oil or other commodities, except water, by pipe line, to those engaged in transportation of passengers or property by railroad or partly by railroad and partly by water, between states. "Common Carriers" Defined. "Common Carriers" Defined. The term common carrier is described as follows: The term "common carrier," as used in this act, shall include express companies and sleeping car companies. The term "railroad," as used in this act, shall include all bridges and ferries used or operated in connection with any railroad, and also all the road in use by any corporation operating a railroad, whether owned or operated under a contract, agreement or lease, and shall also include all switches, spurs, tracks, and terminal facilities of every kind used or necessary in the transportation of the persons or property designated herein. All charges made for any service rendered or to be rendered in the transportation of passengers or property as aforesaid, or in connection therewith, shall be just and reasonable; and every unjust and unreasonable charge for such service or any part thereof is prohibited and declared to be unlawful. What Passes May Be Issued. The section relative to the issuing of railway passes is as follows: A. No carrier subject to the provisions of this act shall hereafter, directly or indirectly, issue or give any interstate free ticket, free pass or free transportation for passengers, except to its officers, agents, employees, surgeons, physicians, actual and bona fide attorneys, and members of their immediate families; to ministers of religion, local and traveling secretaries of Young Men's Christian associations, inmates of hospitals and charitable and ecemosynary institutions; to indigent, destitute and homeless persons, and to such persons when transported by charitable societies or hospitals, and the necessary agents employed in such transportation; to inmates of the national homes or state homes for disabled volunteer soldiers and of soldiers' and sailors' homes, including those about to enter and those returning home after discharge, under arrangements with boards of managers, and female nurses that served during the civil war; to ex-union soldiers and sailors and ex-confederate soldiers; and to owners and caretakers of livestock when travelling with such stock or when going to point of shipment or returning from point of delivery. Exceptions to the Rule. Provided, that this provision shall not be construed to prohibit the interchange of passes for the officers, agents and employees of carriers, and members of their immediate families, nor to prohibit any carrier from carrying passengers free with the object of providing relief in cases of general epidemic, pestilence or other calamitous visitations, nor prevent such carrier from giving free or reduced transportation to laborers transported to any place for the purpose of supplying any demand for labor at such place. Cannot Own Coal Mines. All common carriers are prohibited from transporting from one state to another any article manufactured, mined or produced by the carrier or under its authority, and owned wholly or in part by the carrier; except that pipe lines operated by oil companies may transport their own commodities as well as those offered for transportation by competitors. Section 2 amends section 6 of the present law so as to make it obligatory on the part of carriers to file with the commission and keep open to the public schedules showing all rates, fares and charges between different points on its own route and points on other routes, when a through rate is made, and no change should be made in these rates without giving 30 days' notice of change. It also provides for the filing of all contracts and agreements between different lines. The penalties provided for violation of these rates are as follows: That section 1 of the act entitled "An act to further regulate commemree with foreign nations and among the states," approved February 19, 1903, be amended so as to read as follows: The willful failure upon the part of any carrier subject to said acts to file "I can't understand why men drink whisky," she said. "Does it quench thirst?" "Of course not," he replied. "If it did they wouldn't be foolish enough to drink it."—Chicago Dally News. Neutralized. He--Gracials! Did you notice the terrible smell that automobile made that went by a little whole ago? She--No, dear; I was peeling onions for dinner then--Yonkers Statesman. and publish the tariffs or rates and charges as required by said acts, or strictly to observe such tariffs until changed according to law, shall be a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof the corporation offending shall be subject to a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $20,000 for each offense; and it shall be unlawful for any person, persons or corporation to offer, grant or give, or to solicit, accept or receive any rebate, concession or discrimination in respect to the transportation of any property in interstate or foreign commerce by any common carrier subject to said act to regulate commerce and the acts amendatory thereto whereby any such property shall by any device whatever be transported at a less rate than that named in the tariffs published and filed by such carrier, as is required by said act to regulate commerce and the acts amendatory thereto, or whereby any other advantage is given or discrimination is practiced. Every person or corporation who shall offer, grant or give, or solicit, accept, or receive any such rebates, concession, or discrimination shall be deemed guilty or a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $20,000: Provided, that any person, or any officer or director of any corporation subject to the provisions of this act, or the act to regulate commerce and the acts amendatory thereof, or any receiver, trustee, lessee, agent or person acting for or employed by any such corporation, who shall be convicted as aforesaid, shall, in addition to fine herein provided for, be liable to imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term of not exceeding two years, or both such fine and imprisonment, in the discretion of the court. Every violation of this section shall be prosecuted in any court of the United States having jurisdiction of crimes within the district in which such violation was committed, or through which the transportation may have been conducted; and whenever the offense is begun in one jurisdiction and completed in another it may be dealt with, inquired of, tried, determined, and punished in either jurisdiction in the same manner as if the offense had been actually and wholly committed therein. Authorized to Fix Rates. Section 15 authorizes the interstate commerce commission to fix rates as follows: Sec. 4. That section 15 of said act be amended so as to read as follows: Sec. 15. That the commission is authorized and empowered, and it shall be its duty, whenever, after full hearing upon a complaint made as provided in section 13 of this act, or upon complaint of any common carrier, it shall be of the opinion that any of the rates, or charges whatsoever, demanded, charged, or collected by any common carrier or carriers, subject to the provisions of this act, for the transportation of persons or property as defined in the first section of this act, or that any regulations or practices whatsoever of such carrier or carriers affecting such rates, are unjust or unreasonable, or unjustly discriminatory, or unduly preferential or prejudicial, or otherwise in violation of any of the provisions of this act, to determine and prescribe what will be the just and reasonable rate or rates, charge or charges, to be thereafter observed in such case as the maximum to be charged; and what regulation or practice in respect to such transportation is just, fair and reasonable to be thereafter followed; and to make an order that the carrier shall cease and desist from such violation, to the extent to which the commission find the same to exist, and shall not thereafter publish, demand, or collect any rate or charge for such transportation in excess of the maximum rate or charge so prescribed, and shall conform to the regulation or practice so prescribed. All orders of the commission, except orders for the payment of money, shall take effect within such reasonable time, not less than 3 0days, and shall continue in force for such period of time, not exceeding two years, as shall be prescribed in the order of the commission, unless the same shall be suspended or modified or set aside by the commission or be suspended or set aside by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any person, corporation, or company who shall deliver property for interstate transportation to any common carrier, subject to the provisions of this act, or for whom, as consignor or consignee, any such carrier shall transport property from one state, territory, or district of the United States to any other state, territory or district of the United States or foreign country, who shall knowingly and willfully, by employ, agent, officer or otherwise, directly or indirectly, by or through any means or device whatsoever, receive or accept from such common carrier any First Merchant—Well, cheer up, old duck!

She's a regular, rubberneck."-Philadelphia Press. sum of money, or any other valuable consideration, as a rebate or offset against the regular charges for transportation of such property, as fixed by the schedules of rates provided for in this act, shall be deemed guilty of a fraud, which is hereby declared to be a misdemeanor, and, shall, upon conviction thereof in any court of the United States of competent jurisdiction within the district where such offense was committed, in addition to any other penalties provided by this act, be subjected to a fine equal to three times the sum of money so received or accepted, and three times the value of any other consideration so received or accepted, to be ascertained by the trial court; and in the trial for such offense, all such rebates or other considerations so received or accepted for a period of six years prior to the commencement of the action may be considered, and the said fine shall be three times the total amount of money or three times the total value of such considerations so received or accepted, as the case may be: Provided, that the foregoing penalties shall not apply to rebates or considerations received prior to the passage and approval of this act. In addition to the above the commis- In addition to the above the commission is empowered to make joint rates. Orders of the Commission. Any carrier, any officer, representative, or agent of a carrier, or any receiver, trustee, lessee, or agent of either of them, who knowingly falls or neglects to obey any order made under the provisions of section 15 of this act, shall forfeit to the United States the sum of $5,000 for each offense. Every distinct violation shall be a separate offense, and in case of a continuing violation each day shall be deemed a separate offense. Provision for Court Review. The court-review provision of the bill is as follows: If any carrier fails or neglects to obey any order of the commission, other than for the payment of money, while the same is in effect, any party injured thereby, or the commission in its own name, may apply to the circuit court in the district where such carrier has its principal operating office, or in which the violation or disobedience of such order shall happen, for an enforcement of such order. Such application shall be by petition, which shall state the substance of the order and the respect in which the carrier has failed of obedience, and shall be served upon the carrier in such manner as the court may direct, and the court shall prosecute such inquiries and make such investigations, through such means as it shall deem needful in the ascertainment of the facts at issue or which may arise upon the hearing of such petition. If, upon such hearing as the court may determine to be necessary, it appears that the order was lawfully made and duly served, and that the carrier is in disobedience of the same, the court shall enforce obedience to such order by a writ of injunction, or other proper process, mandatory or otherwise, to restrain such carrier, its officers, agents or representatives, from further disobedience of such order, or to enjoin it, or them, obedience to the same; and in the enforcement of such process the court shall have those powers ordinarily exercised by it in compelling obedience to its writs of injunction and mandamus. From any action upon such petition on appeal shall lie by either party to the supreme court of the United States, and in such court the case-shall have priority in hearing and determination over all other causes except criminal causes, but such appeal shall not vacate or suspend the order appealed from. The so-called Allison provision provides that all cases for the annulling of a rate as made by the commission should be brought in the district where the carrier against whom such order of requirement may have been made has its principal office. Other provisions of the bill provide that the commission shall be empowered to require annual reports from all common carriers, and providing that such reports shall be of the highest character; giving the commission at all times access to the books of common carriers, heavy penalties are enjoined for false entries in accounts. A fine of $5,000 or imprisonment for a term of two years, or both, is decreed for any examiner who shall wrongly divulge information acquired through examinations of accounts. Circuit and district courts are to have jurisdiction to issue writs of mandamus compelling common carriers to obey the orders of the commission. Bills of lodging are to be issued by any common carrier accepting goods for transportation, making railroad companies liable for loss or damage done in transit over their or any other line. The commission is empowered to employ special agents or examiners with full powers. This act takes effect and is in force from and after its passage. The interstate commerce commission will consist of seven members, who shall draw salaries of $10,000 per annum each. Gyer-He used to carve epitaphs on tombstones.-Chicago Daily News.

SEVEN POINTERS FOR THE READING AND ADVERTISING PUBLISH (1) THE LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue.

(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. 05 To The Public. Any erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or reputation of any person firm or corporation, which may appear in the colums of The Palladium will be gladly corrected upon being brought to the attention of the management. All articles sent to this office for publication, must have the writer's signature or otherwise such articles will be ignored. We are not responsible for the return of unsolicited contributions on any subject. Churches and others having news or notices will please have the same in the office by Wednesday to insure publication in the week's issue. Five cents per line for each insertion. Seven cents per line for each insertion, black face. It occasionally happens that papers sent to subscribers are lost or stolen. In case you do not receive any number when due, inform us by postal card, and we will cheerfully forward a duplicate of the missing number. Last week we spoke of some school that caused the children to bring 15 cents to buy ice cream, and then sold the same to them. The person wanted to know what became of the money. The party in question seemed to square the matter with the Palladium man; he showed where the money had been paid on a legitimate debt contracted by some of the former or present teachers. That is all good, but when you or any one else raise money for anything, they ought to give an itemized report stating all the details. 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. THE PALLADIUM GIVES ITS READERS MORE NEWS THAN ALL THE OTHER RACE PAPERS PUBLISHED IN THE CITY AND STATE. OF THE Who is the confident man? Answer—the jack-legged preacher, the so-called newspaper man. We want to know if there has been any double dealing in this matter? Answer. If you do not, we will. Negro men, boys and rounders who can visit young girls between 8 a. m. and 6 p. m. are not good citizens. Who are the leaders among the Negro politicians of St. Louis? Answer—the porters, janitors and jack-legged preachers. Was Mrs. Mahomy, of 2811 Howard street, in full possession of her right mind when the home was transferred to some other person? It seems now as soon as a common Negro secures a political janitorship he then regards himself as a politician and a leader of the people. There are more so-called politicians in St. Louis that are members of the scrubbing brush and mop brigade than any other city. We will very soon call their names. Was the transfer of home, No. 2811 Howard street, recorded? If so, who were the witnesses? And for what money, or if no money, what was given for the home? Why do girls leave home for a pleasant walk and then come strolling home with some rounder that she met or telephoned to before she left home? Answer—You tell me and I'll tell you. Girls that can afford to spend several hours in a restaurant drinking cannot expect any respectable man to select them for a wife; for men don't get good wives out of a dance hall, ballroom or drinking restaurant. Birds of a feather will flock together. If a man keeps the company of an ex-convict, he is no better than the convict. If a girl keeps the company of girls who have done wrong and are still doing wrong, they are no better and are so looked upon as such. The reason Negro girls do not hold their positions longer is they always have their beaux, dudes, rounders and other low cattle that do work of no kind hanging around them while at work. No lady can accomplish the duties she has been assigned to with such neglect. School is now out, and the girls who have finished school should get down to work and dispense with sleeping all day and running all night. No good girl can afford to be outgallanting with men, boys and girls around the street from 7 o'clock until 1 o'clock at night. This is good enough for those that like it, and if you like it you must be classed as one of the vulgar. The Ransom and Council muddle should be stopped. For the past eight years the so-called political preachers have mixed up more mud (as they call it) for the newspapers to throw than all the newspapers in the country. This Ransom and Council matter should be disregarded, and let them waste their time on something better than a drunken preacher and a White man's Negro. Destroyed by Fire. Maurer's meat market and grocery, at 8 and 10 South Jefferson avenue, was entirely destroyed by fire Saturday night, and the patrons were at a loss as to where they should get their goods. His place is now open to the public, where they will be accommodated as in the past. His polite clerks and other employees are a guarantee that you will be readily waited upon. Mr. Maurer, by his thrifty business qualities, has learned to know what the public wants. Don't forget the number and place—8 and 10 South Jefferson avenue. Sam, the Tailor, is the man that patronizes Negro business men, and our people ought to patronize him. 204 North Fourteenth street. WANTED—Two gentlemen to room and board in a first-class family.

OLIN, The Tailor, 1244 Franklin Ave. St. Louis, Mo. 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 Vaughn an, E. P.

The plan of salvation was very forcibly given last Sunday by a chart lecture. It will be given again next Sunday. Through the efforts of Mr. J. H. Goffrey and the literary committee, the literary is becoming very interesting. From now on the literary will be known as the assembly, and much time will be devoted to the discussion of present issues of the day. At times it will take the form of the United States congress. Mr. P. H. Carter read a paper Tuesday evening, "The Mollicule, the Subdivision of Matter," which was very instructive. Vocal solo, Mr. A. Ambrose; plano solo, Mr. Alex. Lewis; an address by Mr. Geo.

R., 4328 Maffitt Ave. 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 pinnacle 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.

In commenting on the president's treatment of the packing house interests the Chicago Inter Ocean says: The manner of action adopted and followed in Washington toward Chicago's greatest industry has been unprecedented and outrageous. The spirit in which that manner of action has been conceived and carried on is well illustrated by the original declaration of intention on the part of the administration to put the Chicago packers in the penitentiary and by the more recent statement made at the White House to members of the Illinois delegation in congress, that the present policy of the national administration toward the Chicago packers would be followed whether it ruined the whole packing industry or not. To the Inter Ocean the proposition thus conceived, expressed, and executed seems absolutely atrocious. For an American administration to invite the destruction of an enormous business enterprise, to inaugurate a campaign against it, to declare war upon it, to seek its ruin, when the sole ostensible ends in view are four or five easy reforms, is simply a scandalous abuse of power and an inexcusable wreaking of vengeance at the cost of Chicago, the middle west, and the export trade of the United States.

Weawel and Seateae The sensation of the month in the St. Louis railway world was the cut in time and the establishment of the Mobile & Ohio Limited between St. Louis and Mobile and New Orleans. The south-bound train that formerly left St. Louis at 8 a. m. now leaves at 11 a. m. and yet reaches the gulf terminals named as formerly at 7:25 and 8:45 a, m, respectively. There were competitors who doubted the ability of the M. & 0. to make and maintain this schedule, but it has tompletely triumphed. easily, and thereby electrified the entire line. The limited is composed of the finest vestibuled cars, with diner, electric lighted and fanned, and the service fs acknowledged to be second to none between the important terminals named. The M. & O. has remarkably advanced in service and fame since 1900. Pities Wie, A man who had started with a friend on a week's automobile tour ‘stayed away two weeks.

Near the close of what had been a delightful June day, in the memorable year of 1778, two children were seated at an upper window of a two-story frame house on a quiet street in Phil- adelphia, They were brother and sis- ter, Johnny and Prudence Phillips, children of Capt. Phillips, then with Gen. Washington at Valley Forge, and the topic of their conversation was the all-prevailing one of the war. “{ met the big grenadier again to- day,” suddenly exclaimed the boy. “He was taking a stroll along the river front, and did not have his musket. ‘When he saw me he ried: ‘Here we are again, boys!’ and then I had a long talk with him about many things.” “Of course he told you when the troops are going away,” smiled Pru- dence. “I have no doubt you asked him.” “Ot course I asked him! There is no harm in that, I'm sure. He told me that he did not know anything about the rumored evacuation—that I would have to ask Gen. Howe; and from the way he smiled as he said this, I knew he thought his general would tell the son of Capt. Phillips nothing. But Toby has promised to find out for us, you know; but, really, I can't see how he 1s to obtain the secret.” “I haye not much confidence in Master Walters,” said Prudence, sober- ly. “His father is a Tory, I know, and mends coats for the British officers, but do you think they would impart a secret like theirs to a simple tailor?” “I half believe Corporal Benson would have told me to-day, if he had known,” replied the patriot boy. “I saw them enter, you know, and I am going to see them go, too.” It was just after sundown when Master Walters came to the home of the Phillips children and called John- ny out. ‘The face of the Tory boy showed he had something important to communi- cate, but what he said almost -took Johuny’s breath. “They are going this very night,” sald Master Toby, in a whisper. “What! the British?” psapae se ee i ARES ST fice Be 3 ri i EB A er)" = ti p> Ge dy, SHIA TI.

Howe and his men.” Johnny agreed to keep the secret Master Walters had imparted, and when night came he met the tailor’s son at a certain corner and the two boys went to a quiet street which they had reasons for thinking the British troops would take, for it would lead them to a ferry below the city. ‘The hosrs dragged slowly to the boys. The ciock in a near-by steeple struck ten, then 11 and finally 12. It was midnight, and the British had not come. “Are you getting sleepy, Johnny?” asked Toby. “Sleepy, and watching for the Brit- {sh to get out of old Philadelphia?” replied the patriot boy. ‘What can you be thinking about, Toby? I’m as bright as a lark and—But what was that?” _ “I heard it, too,” sald Toby, lean- ing out of the doorway. ‘Here they come at last! Listen! Don’t you hear the measured tread of a great many feet?” “Aye, that I do.” After awhile Johnny suddenly clapped his hands. “Here are Col. Monckton and his big fellows,” he cried, as a company of tail soldiers loomed up before them. “Now 1 shall look for Corporal Ben- son. There he is!)

Oh, this fs glorious, I declare! Such fun I never saw. And see, Old Glory’s floating there! ‘Now, all at onee, “Hurrah!” the big corporal!” he added, and be- fore Toby could detain him he had cleared the doorway and was bound- ing toward the marching rank. “Heigho! Going, are you?” cried Johnny, reaching the side of a very tall soldier who marched on the out- side of the rani: and next to the pave- ment, He took the hand of the grenadier as he spoke, and the next moment the tall red coat recognized him. “Here“we are again!” laughed Cor- poral Benson, his hand tightening on Johnny’s. “You ferreted out the se- cret, did you? Well, we are going away.” “To come back some time?” queried Johnny, who was walking alongside the soldier, still holding his hand. “I don't know. I’m afraid some of us will never get back,” was the re- ply, with a sigh at the end of it, as it the speaker felt that a battle was sure to follow the evacuation. “Be a good boy, Master Johnny. You've made me think many a time of my little chaps in England. God bless you, if you are a little rebel!” “Good-by, Corporal Benson!” cried the patriot boy. “Remember Johnny Phillips to your little ones at home when you get back, for I hope you'll go back safe, if you are one of King George's men.” “I almost wish I hadn't watched them,” said Jobnny on his way home. “[ sent Corporal Benson away with a sad heart; but I hope the bullets will spate him—that I do! I will have something for my diary now—some- ‘thing out of the usual entry. Good- night, Toby. When we are old men, we can tell how we saw the king's ‘men steal out of Philadelphia.” ‘That night Johnny had to describe, for Prudence and her mother, the evacuation of the city, as he and Toby vhad seen it, and before he retired he wrote, among other things in his diary, the following: “June 17.—This night ye British went away. Toby and I watched them trom a doorstep, and I shook hands ee Corporal Benson, and wished him well, To-morrow there will be great rejoicing among our people, and ye clty will put on new airs.” ‘The next day Philadelphia awoke to discover that she was no longer a British city by occupation. The king's troops had vanished during the night, and few could tell how or when they went. That very day some of Wash- ington’s light troops rode into the city, and soon afterward the battle of Mon- mouth was fought and the British se verely punished. in ‘The year after the war there came to Philadelphia, by mail, a letter ad- dressed to “Master Johnny Phillips,” and when the patriot boy opened it, he found several locks of pretty hair woven in the form of a heart. The heart was a double-leaf one, and when Johnny opened: it he. read, in the handwriting of a child: “From the children of Corporal Benson, of ye Royal grenadiers, to Master Phillips, who reminded their father so often of his little ones at home. Father sends his love.” Johnny often told how he saw tbe British evacuate Philadelphia, and many years afterward an old | man showed with pride to his grandchil- dren a heart of hair woven upan pa per, and on. the inside the love of the old grenadier and the little enca— Minneapolis Journal. et | Waar Joy [HEY Bane ‘ToFveryHome | as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injuri- ous or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate — of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa- ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreéable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent , medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. ; Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs ’ always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package: and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular- Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it.

THE DOCTOR'S WIFE Agrees with Him About Food, A trained nurse says: “In the prac- tice of my profession I have found so many points in favor of Grape-Nuts food that I unhesitatingly recommend it to all my patients. “Tt is delicate and pleasing to the palate (an essential in food for the sick) and can be adapted to all ages, being softened with milk or cream for babies or the aged when deficiency of teeth renders mastication impos- sible. For fever patients or those on liquid diet I find Grape-Nuts and al- bumen water very nourishing and re- freshing. This recipe is my own idea and is made as follows: Soak a tea- spoonful of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for an hour, strain and serve with the beaten white of an egg and 8 spoonful of fruit juice or flavoring. This affords a great deal of nourish- ment that even the weakest stomach can assimilate without any distress. “My husband is a physician and he uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders {t many times for his patients. “Personally I regard a dich of Grape-Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the ideal breakfast for anyone— well or sick.” Name given by Prstum Co,, Battle Cteek, Mich. © In any case of stomach trouble, nervous prostration or brain fag, a 10 days’ trial of Grape-Nuts will work wonders toward nourishing and re- building, and in this way ending the trouble. “There's a reason” and trial proves.

Without giving me time to make an inquiry, he sald: “‘Are yezthe young mon that sold me thim things yistiddy?’ showing me the remains of about half a dozen of the white balls. “I answered in the affirmative, and also inquired what the trouble was. “*Ay all the con games I've run up against in me toime, this bates thim all,’ he said. ‘To think of onyone run- ning a decent down-town store selling the loikes of thim things to kill moths with, or onything else, for the matter of that.

Comment and Suggestive Thought V. 1. "At the same time (R. V. 'in that hour') came the disciples unto Jesus" with the question that perplexed them. Putting the three accounts together, the conversation would be something like this: Jesus—As I was walking before you (as in Mark 10:32) on our way from the mountain I overheard you earnestly arguing among yourselves (for in their earnestness they raised their voices). What question interested you so much? The disciples are silent (for they had been disputing as to who was the greatest; and they were ashamed of it in the presence of Jesus). Jesus knew, but it was wise to lead them to express their thoughts. (Luke. The disciples, or some of them, ask Jesus: "Who, then, is greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?" Not, What elements of character make true greatness? But who shall have the highest places? (See Matt. 20:21). Jesus—You have utterly mistaken the nature of the kingdom of Heaven and what is greatness there. I will illustrate. V. 2. "Jesus, then, called a little child (who may have been playing near, or attracted to the wonderful, loving Jesus), and set him in the midst of them;" "set him by his side" (R. V. Luke); and then took him in his arms (Mark) in loving embrace. V. 3. "And sald." "The task of Jesus is not merely to communicate instruction, but to rebuke and exorcise an evil spirit, therefore he does not trust to words alone."—Exp. Greek Test. Except ye be converted, better, as in R. V. "turn." "And become as little children." Not sinless, for no children are sinless. They all need to be saved from being lost, as we see a little further on (vs. 11, 14). V. 4. "Whosoever therefore shall humble himself (so as to be) as this little child" is in this company, his natural, unassuming self. "The same is greatest in the kingdom of Heaven." for he has most of the heavenly spirit. V. 5. "Whoso shall receive one such little child," the representative of childhood, shall recognize and welcome him, shall see in him the beauty of his character, and take it to heart, model his conduct after this ideal, "representing all that the spirit of ambition in its struggle for place and power is apt to trample under foot." V. 6. "Whoso shall offend." Better R. V. "cause to stumble," block their way to the kindom of Heaven. The Greek verb is derived from skandalon, allied to "scandal," which meant originally "the stick in a trap on which the bait is placed, and which springs up and shuts the trap at the touch of any animal. V. 7. "Woe unto the world." Not a wish, but a lamentation, a warning, a statement of fact. "Because of offences." "Occasions of stumbling" in the way of becoming good, and especially in the way of children. V. 8. 9. If thy hand or thy foot offend thee (lead thee into sin), cut them off." The meaning is, if objects dear as the right eye, and useful as the right hand—honors, possessions, enjoyments—stand between us and the righteous heavenly spirit, not merely tempt us, but cause us to fall into sin, if we are unable to battle with and overcome the temptation, we must give them up rather than the heavenly life. V. 10. "Still the subject is the child as the ideal representative of the insignificant; apt to be despised by the ambitious."—Expos. Greek Test. Vs. 11-14. Compare Luke 15:3-7; 19:10. The point of the parable lies in the great care for those who are insignificant and of little value in the eyes of men. V. 14. "Even so." As the good shepherd did so much for the lost and helpless sheep. "It is not the will of your Father which is in Heaven." He desires that all shall repent and beaved. Practical Application. The lessons which Christ teaches us by means of the children are the lessons we most need to learn, and are too often apt to be ignored. He is ever setting the child in the midst, and all Christians must learn the lessons. The child symbolizes all men in their relation to the Heavenly Father. The child symbolizes all that are poor, weak, neglected, lowly, in relation to the church. The church will succeed in its work for the kingdom of Heaven only so far as it regards the child and all whom the child symbolizes, as Christ himself regards them.

TEETH THAT WERE USELESS Puzzle to the Man Who Had Suddenly Sustained the Loss of Them. Harry Leon Wilson, author of "The Spenders," was domiciled for a summer in Connecticut with a colony of artists and writers, all of whom had to go into the city every day, relates the Saturday Evening Post. Wilson was doing nothing but loafing. He loafed artistically, and from time to time met and had fun with some of the natives of the place. One day he found two men in the road who seemed congenial, and he struck up an acquaintance with them. He proposed a drive and they got a surrey and two horses. "Can you drive?" asked Wilson. "Sure," one of his sudden friends replied, "I am a fine driver." They got aboard and started down the road. Before they had gone half a mile the team was frightened by a passing automobile and ran away. The driver valiantly, steered the horses into a telegraph pole and Wilson and his two friends were thrown helter-skelter into the road. Wilson slowly gathered himself together. One of his friends was sitting in the ditch rubbing his bruises and the other stood in the middle of the road gazing in tearful misery at two front teeth which he held in the palm of his hand. "Pretty lucky escape, wasn't it?" asked Wilson, for want of something better to say. "Yes," replied the man with the teeth, weeping afresh, "but please, oh, please, tell me, what shall I do with these?" GRIST OF GRINS. Eddie—"Say, uncle, what's radium?" Uncle—"Aw, that's the stuff they make radiators of." "Father, what's the difference between a lunch and a luncheon?" "About a dollar and a quarter, my boy." "How did you get that black eye, Willie?"" "I got dat," replied Willie, disgustedly, "by waitin' to count ten when I was angry, like you told me to." Nervous Old Lady (on seventh floor of hotel)—"Do you know what precautions the proprietor of the hotel has taken against fire?" Porter—"Yes, mum; he has the place inhoored for twice wot it's worth." "Well, Mr. Lambkin, how do you like being married?" "Not in the least. I am no longer allowed to smoke, to drink or to go out alone." "Then you must be sorry you married." "I am not allowed to be sorry, either." Mrs. Nibs—"Why were you so absurd as to tell Bibbs at the dinner table that you can tell an old turkey from a young one by the teeth?" Nibbs—"So I can." Mrs. Nibbs—"Nonsense. Turkeys have no teeth."—Nibbs—"Well, I have." STATE OF OHIO, CITY OF TOLEDO, 1885. LUCAS COUNTY. FRANK J. CHENY is makes oath that he is senior partner of the firm of F. J.

INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. 900 DROPS CASTORIA A Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS & CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerfulness and Rest.

The Mexican mills will also require an additional 80,000 bales from the United States during 1906. The British charge in Guatemala has forwarded to London a sample of weevil-resisting cotton grown in the Retalhuen district of western Guatemala. It is called "Pachon," is a short-season cotton, productive and with a fiber of good length and texture. The Turkish minister of agriculture is about to buy 2,200 pounds of American and Egyptian cotton seed for the improvement of the quality of cotton raised in Turkey. The seed will be distributed in the provinces of Adana, Aldin and Salonika, according to the Levant Herald. The exports of raw cotton from southern Nigeria in 1905 declined to 96,306 pounds, having been 285,639 pounds in 1904. This falling off is expected to adjust itself during the present year, when the new plantations will commence to yield, states the Government Gazette of the Nigeria protectorate. It has also been reported that there was some cotton to* be shipped from northern Nigeria. Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day.

Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria in my own household with good results, and have advised several patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm." Dr. J. B. Ellott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infant stomach disorders, I most heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children." Dr. G. C. Gorman, of Kansas City, says: "Your Castoria is an excellent medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I can no doubt appreciate its criminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children." Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds the esteem of the children by no other proprietary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and children. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments." Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: "Castoria is one of the very finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my opinion your Castoria has been an ample furnish of hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency and merita. Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very effective in relieving children's ailments with which such a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage." Dr. F. H. Kyle, of St. Paul, Minn., says: "It affords me pleasure to add my name to the long list of those who have used and now endorse your Castoria. The fact of the ingredients being known through the printing of the formula on the wrapper is one good and sufficient reason for the recommendation of any physician.

WHITE MEN IN BUSINESS We ask at their hands a square deal. Colored men should be judged by their past record. We ask them not to class all Colored men alike. The only difference in men in business is honesty in word and purpose, and honesty can only be judged by long dealing with both white and black men in business. There are some Colored men in business who have their word as their bond, and as long as white men see and know this by dealing with them, treat them accordingly. We trust white men will soon see the difference. MONY. Miss Ophelia Garrett, one of the charter members of the T. C. G. C.'s was married last Tuesday to Maurice Ormond, of Chicago, III.
