ST LOUIS PALLADIUM WRIGHT & BOLEN. Druggists, THE MUSEUM OF THE WESTERN UNION Vol. XXII. No. 30. LINCOLN INSTITUTE Commencement Exercises, Graduation of the Senior Class, Address by Hon. John E. Sevanger, Presentation of Diplomas, Gold Medals, Etc. Friday morning in the auditorium of Lincoln Institute occurred the graduating exercises of the senior class A sexette and chorus admirably given formed the opening number. The Lord's prayer was chanted by the audience as an invocation. The Grande Galop De Concert by Misses Nellie Akers and Beulah Corneal was rendered in brilliant style. The Heroic Element in character by Albert Higgs, of Springfield, Mo., showed that the hero is one who unfinchingly clings to the right, "baring his bosom to the fury of the mob, fire, wind or wave, whenever to die is nobler than to live." "The Influence of the Drama," by Miss Louise Bell, of St. Joseph, was an excellent discussion of the rise and growth of the drama in Greece, Italy, England and America and of value in fixing the forms of oral and written speeches; improving the morals of a people, etc. "Tell me the food you eat, and I'll tell you who you are," showed the value of Domestic Science teaching and what its introduction into the public schools is doing for the health and general welfare of the nation. The young ladies' quartet sang "Spring Time" in a manner that delighted the audience. "Sewing as a Fixed Art," an oration that the evolution of sewing, from the ekasha, I. T., brought out the fact that the evolution of sewing from the pinning together of fig leaves by our mother Eve to the present day, of marvels in hand made creations and marvels with the sewing machine, of which Eve never dreamed, is a far cry. A neat compliment was paid the sewing department in Lincoln Institute and the work on exhibition in the sewing parlor. Piano Solo by Miss Cassandra Read and Reflect Read and Reflect We received an article asking us to clip from the daily papers and also to get a smelling committee to investigate the matter. If the person with all this knowledge of Journalism, can point to one instance where the Palladium does not keep pace with the Negro, I will stand corrected. The article is intended to mislead. Why were they not brave enough to sign their name? We have a standing notice in the Palladium as follows: "All articles sent to this office for publication, must have the writer's signature or otherwise such articles will be ignored." When the name comes we will print the matter free of charge. Manager Wheeler. We take pleasure in introducing the firm of L. Nelson & Co., which is doing a great business in our city, and which appeals to our people and asks for their patronage. This is our bounden duty, where all things are equal. We ask for Mr. Nelson such recognition and support—Editor Wheeler. WANTED—Two gentlemen to room and board in a first-class family. Best accommodations, hot and cold baths free, gas and electric lights. Call or address Mrs. W. H. Davis, 3142 Marnice place. Access to four lines of cars. WRIGH Jones, valse op. 34, No. 1 was executed with a skill beyond that of an amateur. An oration by Charles Young, of Granby, "Agricultural Resources of Missouri," demonstrated in no uncertain sound that Missouri farm land is one of the best investments in the country. The violin solo by Miss Pansy Phelps obtained a hearty encore. "Alfred Tennyson" an oration by Kitzle De Witt Townsend, of Bonne Terre, was an earnest discussion of the merits of this great poet as such, and the elocutionary style of the production was well sustained in the several quotations from his works to demonstrate various points. His last poem, "Crossing the Bar," was recited with fine effect. The vocal trio, "Carilino" was given with true operatic skill by Miss Carney, Messie. Anderson and Miller. Standards of living and the death rate, an oration by Miss Olivia Haines, valedictorian, of Kansas City, established the fact that standards of living are at once a cause and a result that act and react upon the death rate of a people and that the higher the standard of living the lower the death rate will be. The value of manual training, aoration by Nicholas Francis of Kansas City, was a unique discussion of what the introduction of manual training and industrial arts into the public schools of the country has done to increase the manufacturing interests of the country and the general welfare of its inhabitants. "Waves of Daumba," a chorus was enthusiastically received. The annual address to the graduates with presentation of diplomas and certificates was made by the Hon. John E. Swanger, Secretary of State. Said Secretary Swanger in part, "I feel signally honored, Mr. President, to be invited to share in the felicity of these moments. Full well I know some of the experiences of a teacher and of the joy that comes to one when labor has reached happy fruition. You are today in these graduates surrounded by trophies more valuable than those that graced any Roman conquerer. There is not a better institution of learning in Missouri than Lincoln Institute, and when I make that assertion it is with words carefully weighed. The Porter-Overton Nuptials. A very pretty home wedding, the 28th of June, was Mr. John A. Porter, of Nashville, Tenn., and Miss Edna Overton, of this city, which was solemnized at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Overton of 3133 Fair Ave., by Rev. Dr. W. D. Venable, pastor of Compton Hill Baptist church. The bride was attended by her sister Miss Lucy, as maid of honor, and Miss Cora Hays as bride's maid. Mr. Porter had as his best man his cousin, Mr. William Porter, and groom's man, Mr. George A. Clark. The bride looked very pretty in white silk, trimmed with lace. She carried a shower boquet of roses. The bride's malds were daintly attired in white and carried beautiful boquets of white roses. At 8:30 to the strains of the wedding march played by Prof. L. H. Patterson, the groom and groom's men taking their places in the front parlor, then came the maid of honor and bride's maids, lastly the bride on the arm of her father, who gave her away. Miss Overton was quite a society leader in her part of the city. Mr. Porter is a young man that bids fair to do well in life. The young people are housekeeping at 3024 Lambdin Ave, where they will be pleased to see their friends. They received many handsome and useful presents. Among those present were Rev. and Mrs. S. P. Anderson, Rev. and Mrs. W. D. Venable and the latter's sister Miss Johnson of Louisiana, Mo., Mrs ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, JULY 7. 1906. The school is in the morning of its existence. People are just finding out its power and strength as a factor. I have not given it sufficient attention but I pledge it my most zealous support from this time. I am your to command whenever I can help by word or deed. Graduates, you have been the recipient, of the state's bounty. You have taken advantage of the great public school system at once the pride and glory of American civilization. The diplomas you will receive today are your passport to success. The state asks and has right to ask that you in return give it the fruits of a true manhood and a true womanhood. "Learn to do that which the state wants done and learn to do that thing well," in the language of Washington, one of your own great educators. Awarded to the next senior class. This was received with rounds of applause and with earnest words of appreciation from President Allen. The audience joined in singing "God Be With You Till We Meet Again," and commencement of '06 came to a close. Lincoln Institute Notes Lincoln Institute Notes.

NOTICE NOTICE What Baptist preacher is it who is urging patients to go to the Baptist Sanitarium to be operated upon instead of Provident Hospital, for our doctors are as competent as any others?

Next week the Palladium will contain an article concerning the supposed double dealing of this preacher and we also intend to investigate the transfer of the house action at 2811 Howard St., as well as keep an eye on the gentleman from Brooklyn and the lady who visit St. Louis three times a week.

Assertions and Denials in Connection With the Alleged Affidavit of Miss Nesbit Prior to Her Marriage to Thaw. New York.—Several conflicting stories as to the existence or non-existence of an affidavit made by Evelyn Nesbit in a breach of promise suit, which it is alleged she took steps to bring against Harry Kendall Thaw prior to her trip to Europe, and marriage to him later, were told. Thursday, by persons interested in the investigation of the Thaw-White murder. Alleged Work of an Enemy. Early in the day Assistant District Attorney Garvan was quoted as saying that there was no truth in the story that he expected to come into the possession of the alleged affidavit, and further, that he had no reason to believe such a paper existed. Counsel for Harry Thaw and Mrs. Thaw herself added their denials to the report that there had ever been such an affavit made or contemplated. The reports were said to be circulated by some enemy of Thaw and were wholly untrue. A Detective's Story. Later in the day a private detective who had been engaged by Stanford White to shadow Harry Thaw, was examined by Mr. Garvan, and said he had submitted his reports to Howe & Hummel and Delancy Niccoll, attorneys. Following this came a statement attributed to the district attorney's office that it was known there that the Nesbit girl had visited the office of Howe & Hummell; that she did have a consultation with Hummel, and it is alleged the affidavit in question was the result of that interview, the case being Mr. Hummel's personal matter, Made and Destroyed. It was further stated that while the district attorney's office had learned the affidavit was really made, it had been destroyed upon the reconciliation of the Nesbit girl and young Thaw.

Comment and Suggestive Thought. Vs. 15-20. In our last lesson we were warned against giving offense. Here we are taught what to do when we are the receivers; for offenses are sure to come. Everyone receives criticisms and wrongs which try his temper to the utmost. Especially is this true of the ambitious spirits who seek to be first, as described in our last lesson. As Prof. Bruce says, "An ambitious man is sure to be the receiver of many offenses, real or imaginary. He is quick to take offense, and slow to forgive or forget wrong." But the danger assails all classes, and even the very young. 1. Go to him privately and alone. If our object is to gain our brother and help him to do right, we will not make known the wrong to others, make it a matter of notoriety; for that makes the settlement far more difficult. His pride, or even self-respect, will tend to keep him from acknowledging his fault. This is a most important principle. The wise head of a great asylum told me that in dealing with the insane it was of the utmost importance to keep away the audience; and that almost everyone was influenced by the presence of others. The wisest teacher of my acquaintance deals in the same way with his boys. Deal with them alone whenever it is possible. Thus thy brother will be most likely to hear thee, and thou hast gained thy brother, gained him for righteousness, for salvation, for a Christian life, and probably as a friend. 2. If this fails, then the next step is to get help from one or two others; and if this fails, from the larger community. If this falls, he is to be to you a heathen, and a publican, outside of your religious and social company, but not outside of your love and care and desire to help. (See Rom. 12:19, 20.) In all cases the object is not revenge, but to save and help the offender. Henry Ward Beecher used to say that he looked upon those who maligned him, and said bitter things against him, as slick people whom he must try to cure of their moral disease. Then follows a principle concerning prayer. In the familiar discourse of Jesus with his disciples it was natural to change from one topic to another. But this, coming between two discussions on injuries and the treatment of those who injure us, is appropriate. It implies that Jesus understood that his precept was very hard to practice, almost beyond human power till filled with the spirit of God. Therefore he urges not simply prayer, but united prayer, even of two or three if more cannot be obtained. For they mutually encourage each other in faith and earnestness. Two firebrands together make a larger, hotter flame than if they were separated. "We must not fancy that God has a partiality for a little meeting, or that there is any virtue in a small number."—Bruce. Vs. 21, 22. Bishop Warren suggests that the "preceding discourse for forgiveness had so stirred up Peter that he put it into practice. Found fault with often, as impetuous men are apt to be, he asks how long he is to bear it. The rabbits said forgiveness was to be exercised three times." Compare Amos 2:4 and Job 33:29 (margin). Vs. 23-27. A Contract Between Two Debts. 23. "A certain king, which would take account of." Better' as R. V., "make a reckoning with" his servants, his officers, as governors or nobles who were farmers of taxes. V. 24. "One was brought unto him." No debtor would come of his own accord. "Owed him 10,000 talents." According to the Oxford Cyclopedic Concordance, a talent of silver in New Testament times equaled 6,000 denarii (the pence of the parable). So that a talent was about $970, and the 10,000 talents $9,700,000. Harper's Classical Dictionary makes the amount a little over $10,000,000. Practical Application. "So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts." Not merely in form and in words, not a sham or lip pardon, but real, unreserved, enduring pardon, repeated times without number as the occasion demands. 1. Only those who forgive, can in the nature of things, receive forgiveness with its blessings. 2. Our first duty is, therefore, to be forgiving toward all those who sin against us. We cannot even sincerely pray the Lord's prayer unless we have this spirit. SOUTHERN RAILWAY LEXINGTON, KY. Trains Leave Union Station 10:00 A. M. 10:10 P. M.

We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command.

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 St. Louis Palladium has more subscribers than any other two Negro papers in the state of Missouri.

State Crop Bulletin. Under the direction of Labor Commissioner Anderson, Chief Clerk Nolen and Statistician Edmiston of the state Bureau of labor and statistics have issued another bulletin concerning the state's surplus shipments during 1905. This bulletin deals with cereals, showing the quantity of each shipped by the several counties during the year named and their value, the total aggregating $20,129,180.39. The wheat shipped brought to the farmers $13,809,332.13, while from their corn shipments they realized only $3,727,409.63, though the number of bushels of corn shipped was more than one-half those of the wheat shipments. One feature explaining the vast difference between the sums realized for these two products is that the corn was fed to stock, and went to market in that way. According to the government's statistics, the total yield of corn in the state for 1905 was 203,294,798 bushels, valued at $75,219,075. These figures, then, show that 194,203,555 bushels of that corp were consumed at home. The total wheat crop was 28,022,338 bushels, valued at $22,137,647, or less than one-third the value of the corn crop. These figures show that 10,087,563 bushels of wheat were consumed at home. The yield of the oat crop it put at 19,634,885, valued at 5,905,466, and the surplus shipments of this crop leave the home consumption at 17,692,628. This crop, like the corn crop, was largely fed to stock. The quantity of each of the cereals shipped, together with the value of each, is shown in the subjoined table. The live stock shipments brought a total of $90,710,243, or a total of $110,839,423.39 for the surplus shipments of stock and cereals: Quantity. Value. Wheat bushels 17,193,768 $13,806,323 13 Corn, bushels 9,691,243 3,327,409 68 Oats, bushels 1,962,257 6,377,644 81 Rye, bushels 1,417 676,444 81 Bush, bushels 194,583 242,249 40 Barley, bushels 12,183 6,355 16 Flaxseed, bushels 98,559 94,066 64 Clover seed, bushels 34,255 286,359 50 Millet, bushels 114,300 91,400 60 Cane seed, bushels 189,118 2,313 96 Hay, tons 119,991 1,073,919 00 Straw, tons 29,171 145,855 00 Total value. $20,129,180 39 The three counties leading in the shipment of these cereals and the quantity shipped by each is shown in these figures: Wheat—St. Charles, 1,179,986 bushels; Lafayette, 875,900; Franklin, 661,846. Corn—Mississippi, 785,336 bushels; Scott, 687,298; New Madrid, 606,309. Oats—Audrain, 308,798 bushels; Lewis 179,664; Clark, 156,574. Rye—Cass, 11,160 bushels; Scott, 7, 930; Buchanan, 7,440.

Clover—Gentry, 3,900 bushels; Perry 3,355; Franklin, 3,257. Millet—Caldwell, 22,000 bushels; Daviess, 18,900; Sullivan, 13,328. Cane seed—Buchanan, 104,000 bushels; Vernon, 22,070; Cedar, 22,070. Hay—Vernon, 22,787 tons; Benton 21,888; Jasper, 19,044. Straw—Chariton, 22,000 tons; St Charles, 1,580; Lincoln, 1,513. Missouri's Coal Mines. The state mine inspector, R. S. Thomas, with the secretary of the bureau, J. W. Marsteller, have just completed the tabulation of the coal mining industry in Missouri for 1905. The year has been fairly prosperous. The total amount of coal mined for the year is 4,379,090 tons which, at the average price at the mine, brought $7,141,983. There are 488 mines operated in the state and these employ 710,401 persons. One hundred and thirty-nine thousand, six hundred and forty-nine kegs of powder were used at a cost of $226,758.30. Lafayette county mined the most coal, 705,917 tons, which brought $1,246,196. The mines in that county employed 11,773 men in the 76 mines operated. A St. Joseph Convict Escapes. Nathan Bliss of St. Joseph, who was serving a term in the penitentiary for forgery, escaped from the power house where he was employed. He is supposed to have left the city on a passing freight train. The power house is outside of the prison walls, and Bliss was working as a trusty when he disappeared. A reward of $25 has been offered for his arrest and return to the prison. Struck a Vein of Coal. Messrs, West and Dugan, who have been prospecting on the farm of ex-Mayor L. M. Griffith, of Rich Hill struck a fine vein of coal six feet nine inches thick with a five foot hard slate roof. The coal is of extra good quality and is under the entire 160 acres. A big shaft will be sunk immediately which will employ a large number of men. Horse Scared by Baby Buggy. While Dr. Webb of Webb City was driving in Joplin his horse was frightened by a horesless carriage. The buggy was wrecked and the doctor badly injured. The horseless carriage was a baby buggy, pushed by a man who refused to turn out of the road. succeeded Her Father in Postoffice. The contest for the Lexington post-office was settled by the appointment of Miss Della Crowder, who has been acting postmistress since the death of her father, James M. Crowder. Postmasters' Salary Changes. These changes in salaries of presidential postmasters in Missouri have been announced: Increased, Bowling Green, Salisbury, $1,600 to $1,700; Cape Girardeau, $2,400 to $2,500; Festus, Marshfield, St. James, $1,200 to $1,300; Jamesport, Lockwood, Potosi $1,100 to $1,200; Liberal, Orongo, Seymour, Smithville, $1,000 to $1,100; Monett, $1,900 to $2,000; South St Joseph, $2,600 to $2,700; Tarkio, $1,700 to $1,800; Webb City, $2,200 to $2,300 Decrease: Brookfield, $2,200 to $2,100; Brunswick, $1,500 to $1,400; Burlington Junction, $1,400 to $1,300; Puxico $1,100 to $1,000; Ridgeway, $1,000 to fourth class; Trenton, $2,200 to $2,000 Little Public Land Left. The United States land office at Springfield, now the only one in Missouri, has issued its annual report which shows that there is now in Missouri less than 100,000 acres of government land. During the year final proofs of homesteads have been made on 4,800 acres. There have been 860 homestead entries in the state during the year. These represent 73,785 acres, or about 85 acres per entry. There have been 373 cash entries, the amount of land so taken being 28,299 acres. The total area taken within the year by homestead and cash payment is 102,084 acres. Township Pays But Gets No Railroad The last step in canceling the bonded indebtness of Van Buren township Jackson county, took place at Independence recently, when a draft was forwarded to John B. Henderson of Washington, D. C., in payment of the last $1,000 bond, and for the first time since 1870 the township is without bonded debt. In that year the people voted an issue of $50,000 in 6 per cent bonds to aid in the building of the Lexington Lake and Gulf railroad through the township. The bonds were issued, but the road, although graded and bridged in places, was never completed. Old Indictment Dismissed. An old indictment against Thompson Morton, who killed John W. Barringer, Jr., in St. Louis, December 19, 1902, was cailed up in Judge Kinsey's court by attorneys representing the accused, and on the ground that the state had never pressed the case, the dismissal was asked and granted. Soon after the killing, Morton was adjudged insane and sent to an asylum, where he is now confined. The effect of the proceeding is that if he should ever be cured of insanity he would be free from the accusation of murder. An Editor's Good Advice. Heart-to-heart talk with boys from the New Bloomfield Record: A word to you, sonny—you little 12 or 17-year-old boy with a cigarette in your mouth. What do you want to be when you grow up—a healthy, vigorous man, or a little measly weak-minded dude? If you want to be a man with hair on your face, brains in your head and strength in your limbs, just let those cigarettes alone. Appointments by the Governor. Gov. Folk has announced the appointment of George V. Vandiver of Higginsville to be coal oil inspector for that city, and W. F. Potts of Fayette to be coal oil inspector for Howard county. The governor also announced the appointment of Joseph Pope of Jefferson City to be a member of the state board of mediation and arbitration for a term of three years from May 1. Want a New Poor House. The petition of 1,526 tax-paying citizens of Jackson county asking the county court to call an election to vote upon the proposition of issuing bonds for a new county home was presented to the court by the committee which secured the signatures. The three judges of the court said to the committee that they would call the election so the people might vote upon the question. New Star Added. When the flag which floats from the captiol dome at Jefferson City, was raised recently its azure field contained 46 stars, the last one having been placed there by Commissioner Zeeber in recognition of Oklahoma's and Indian territory's prospective admission to statehood. The flags of the United States government will not take a new star until the territories are admitted. Confederate Encampment in August The executive committee of the South Central Missouri ex-confederate association has selected August 29, 1906, as the date of opening the tenth annual encampment of the association to continue four days. It was also decided to devote one day to an exhibition of blooded stock. The encampment will be hold at Barintz lake in Dent county. Jews Rotation President. Jewish Citizens of St. Joseph are behind a movement calling upon President Roosevelt to interfere in behalf of the downtrodden Jews of Russia and urging that he take the initial step in concerted diplomatic action on the part of all civilized nations. A. H. Bowlin Is Pardoned. A. H. Bowlin, after serving16 months of a five year sentence, was released from the penitentiary. Gov. Folk parding him. Bowlin, was sent up from Penisccott county for forgery. A. F. and A. M Of Missouri and Its Jurisdiction. GRAND LODGE. GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURL Officers. C. G. Williams, Grand Master, Boonville, Mo. S.

SEVEN POINTERS FOR THE READING AND ADVERTISING (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. 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. The house No. 2811 Howard street. Here is a case where the better class of our Colored ladies and gentlemen should look into. Mrs. Mahoney the owner of the property has been to our knowledge for several years almost blind and totally unable in any way to manage her own affairs. What we want to know is when the papers were made out to transfer the property to others, who was it that took hold of her hand and caused her to make a mark on those papers, and what was given in exchange for the property. We learn that a certain business white man holds the papers in his safe and the cost was $50.00. Some man got the papers by paying that amount, then had the property conveved to himself. We ask that Dr. Cook, Dr. Stevenson, Dr. E. C. Cole, Prof. Arthur D. Langston, Miss Mable A. Wheeler, Davi1 Gardner, W. C. Gordon, A. Russell, with competent power to investigate this matter. The Palladium will never be silent till things are settled in a fair way. WHY NOT GO A LITTLE SLOW. A young man who lives in the 2600 block on Leffingwell avenue, was on the Orphan's Home excursion last Monday, and he beat the band, dancing. We hope that he will be a little discreet, as the neighbors will talk. Leave off dancing and courting until your better part is cold in the earth. A certain secretary of one of the temples was out after 1:30 at night. We hope this will not happen again, as such late hours are not good for the health. S. M. T., Secy. A VISIT TO BROOKLYN. We visited the little city called Brooklyn, a few days ago and in that village of Aunt Hagar's children, we beheld many things. Rev. J. Will Summers is pastor of the A. M. E. Church, and has a host of friends. He is one of the most large hearted men in that city. In the near future we will give a sketch of this wonderful man. Messrs. Vanderbury and Pope are old citizens and are well liked by every one. Mr. Stoakes who married one of our teachers some years ago is doing a good business. They have a fine cafe and enjoy the friendship of the surrounding people. Mr. B. Lloyd who married one of our St. Louis girls, Miss Lillie Brickey of 520 Talcott Ave., is doing fine in business. His wife seems to enjoy life and their little child is the life of the house. We wish them well. Dr. Arthur and his loving wife were full of business, taking in money at the base ball grounds. They seemingly knew nothing among the people, but on to get the money. The Palladium reporter went over with two friends, who, when the doctor saw them, immediately recognized them and so acted, but our reporter was ignored. Well, well, there is a hereafter in all things, even in death. We beheld the dashing, Miss Adele Perry. She is lovely to look upon an from all indications she is well liked by every one. Although she does not read the Palladium, perhaps she has a good cause, yet we always speak well of good ladies, which we believe she is. She will be in St. Louis soon. We saw Miss Lillie Massey from a distance. She is worthy recorder of Rising Sun Council. She was enjoying herself. Many people from St. Louis were there. Capt. C. H. Tandy, C. H. Wheeler, Albert Harris and wife, also Mr. Jenki ins one of the members of Metropolitan Church; the man who whipped his preacher was out and many more whose names we did not get. EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION. Negroes Will Hold Convention in St Louis Next Month. The emancipation of the Negroes will be celebrated in St. Louis by a convention of delegates from Negro churches and societies of this city and from other parts of the country. 5, 6, 7 and 8. The meetings will be held in Abyssinia ball, No. 18 South Tenth street. Addresses will be made by E. P. Penn, George A. White and others. The proceedings will include a review of the course of the Negro race since the proclamation of Abraham Lincoln, setting them free. J. J. Jones, of St. Louis, is supreme manager of the organization to perpetuate the annual celebration, and Frank Webb, of Omaha, Neb., is assistant manager. 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. BREZZY JOTTINGS. See Friedman's "ad." He is our friend Anything in life will a man give for money, and Mr. Friedman has the dough.

Nelson "Olin the Tailor, everybody knows, Makes the best up-to-date and best fitting clothes To my store to come, don't fail, And, in return, if necessary I'll go your bail." OLIN, The Tailor, 1244 Franklin Ave. St. Louis, Mo. RIP SAW COLUMN OF THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM Negro men, boys and rounders who can visit young girls between 8 a. m. and 6 p. m. are not good citizens. Will our subscribers please pay us. We do not mean those who pay, but those who put us off from time to time. 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. Say will some one tell us how that property was taken from Mrs. Mahoney? Somebody is going to get into trouble. Watch the Palladium. We wonder where Mrs. Nellie A. Singleton lives. We ask the question because of things yet hidden from the public, but the Palladium man knows all. 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. There is a lady sick in the hospital at East St. Louis, Ill. A certain doctor visits her three times a week and in his company is a lady whose name we withhold. We wonder if she is learning to be a nurse? There is a certain doctor in Lovejoy, Ill., who accompanies a certain lady of Lovejoy to St. Louis three times a week. She is quite aged. I wonder what is the matter? Has she any property? Look out, we are coming. 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. Was Mrs. Mahomy, of 2811 Howard street, in full possession of her right mind when the home was transferred to some other person? 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? We want to know if there has been any double dealing in this matter? Answer. If you do not, we will.

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. Next week, the public will hear some more scathing news. NOTICE. NOTICE Mrs. Annie B. Smith, former proprietor of the Little Diamond Hotel, on Chestnut street, is now in business at 1525 Pine street.

A number of the leading ministers of St. Louis were heard to say a few days ago that the new church was in better condition in its beginning than some of the churches that have been established in St. Louis over a quarter of a century. Rev. P. G. Boggs, district missionary of Berean Baptist association, preached at Providence Baptist church last Sunday morning, and he said publicly that the singing of the choir was the best he ever heard, and he predicts success for them. All this fuss and fermentation against Providence Baptist church will do no good now, for the reason the church has been unanimously recognized and fellowship by the Baptists of St. Louis. It does seem that these churche kickers should withdraw from the fight or suffer to be humiliated by public criticism. NEIDRINGHAUS. For the Republican Party.

The less hair a woman has the more time it takes her to do it up. Flatter a woman and she will love you; pity her, and she will hate you. Women are like cats. Both are graceful, both are domestic and both scratch. The farther a man gets away from a dollar, the larger it looks. You can easily fill the public eye if you have sufficient dust.

Grogrammic and aajcurne’ ae | On the eve of adjournment the dif- ference between the house and senate on the important bills pending were adjusted. As a result of the action taken the following measures were laid before the president for his approval: ‘The railroad rate act. ‘The agricultural appropriation bill, Including the meat inspection amend- ment. The pure food act. The president signed the railroad rate bill at 11:45 Friday night. It goes Into effect in 60 days. New Epoch in Legislation. ‘Had rothing else been done this con- gress these measures Would stand out as monuments to the present national administration, In emphatic manner they mark the beginning of a new epoch in federal legislation—govern- mental regulation on corporations and the invocation of the police power, so fo speak, to stay the hand of private greed and protect the pocketbook and the health and general welfare of the masses. In the end the house has had its ‘way mostly regarding the railroad rate ill. Of! pipe Imes remain in the meas- ‘ure a5 common carriers, but the com- modity provision of the bill has been fixed so as to make the prohibition of an aillance between transportation and production apply only to ra’ road companies.” ‘The railroads cannot own, coal mines or transport their own’ products, but Standard Oi! and the in- dependent ofl companies can pipe their’ own product. The senate yielded on this point because the house refused to give in by an overwhelming vote, and otherwise the whole bill would have died. Senator Tillman contented himself with a severe “roast” of the Standard Oil influence, and then as the one in charge of the measure voted to accept the conference report. The senate ‘gained a part of its contention in a readjustment of the anti-pass feature of the bill which prohibits free trans- portation to every one save certain excepted classes, including railroad employes and their families, and the officials, attorneys, surgeons, etc., of the companies. | House Victory in Meat Bill. ‘The meat logislation was a complete victory for the house. The senate agreed io the conference report and the house formelly ratified it. There ‘were two points in controversy—the payment for inspection service and the question of putting dates on the labels ‘of cans and packages of meat prod- cucts. The government will pay the -cost of inspection, instead of the pack- sers, ond labels will not require the date of inspection or canning of the contents. In announcing the failure of the sen- ate conferees to win on these disputed points, Senator Proctor said the bill accomplished a great deal, inasmuch @s.it provides for thorough inspection -of all meat products and the sanitary regulation of packing plants, and that the conferees felt they could not lose ‘everything by holding out for distine- tive features which the public would not aecept. He paid his compliments to the packers in strong terms and charged them with having engineered the scheme that created sentiment in favor of making the government pay the cost of inspection. Other senators entered their protest against the con- troverted provisions of the measure, Dut finally the conference report was adopted. é In the house, acceptancé of the re- port was a pure formality. One im- portant new feature of the measure as it passed both houses is an added ‘appropriation of $900,000 to the $3,- 000,000 for inspection provided in the house amendment. This was brought about by combining the amount orig- inally appropriated to the bureau of animal industry for inspection under the old system with the new perma- -pent appropriation. Pure Food Bill Criticised. ‘The conference report on the pure ‘food bill was adopted by both houses “without any change. In the opinion of Dr. Wiley and other officials of the agricultural department, it is a good «measure as far as it goes, but Mr, “Mann, of Chicago, who had charge of the conference report, says that it was not as good as had been hoped for. Tt is weak in that it does not provide a standard by which drugs, foods and Srinks ean be measured to determine whether they comply with the law. ‘That important question is referred to ihe courts, which under the bill as it will become law must add to their aiready great burden the consideration of cases Taising the issue as to wheth- er certain “articles of food or drugs contain harmful ingredients, are mis- branded or because of their tabels vio- late the pare food law. Canal Type Is Fixed. With the adjournment, of congress ea een aerate ee ee ee Ee ee A ee peerage ed in favor of a sea level canal, but after a vigorous debate the president's recommendation in favor of a lock type was approved by a vote of 36 to 31. A joint resolution was passed by congress requiring the purchase of supplies and materials for the canal in the American market unless the presi- dent shall determine that the bids of domestic producers are extortionate or unreasonable. Congress appropriated $42,500,000 for continuing work on the canal, $16,500,000 being deficiency appropria- tions and $26,000,000 being for work during the fiscal year 1907. In addi- tion to these appropriations steps are being taken to issue the canal bonds authorized by the Spooner act, which may be issued “from time to time” to the extent of $130,000,000.. During the present session congress provided that these bonds should have the rights and privileges of other two per cent. bonds of the United States and the tax of one-fourth of one per cent. imposed upon bonds deposited to se- cure national bank circulation was im- posed upon the canal bonds when used for such security. It was also pro- vided that the deficiency appropriation should be returned to the treasury from the proceeds of the sale of the canal bonds. Statehood Issue Settled. ‘The admission of Oklahoma and In- dian territory as a single state was accomplished by the act approved June 16. The act also admits Arizona and New Mexico into the union as a single state, provided that a majority in each of the territories shall vote for joint statehood, “and not other- wise.” This bil! was the subject of bitter contention, as it had been in former sessions. Tt passed the house in the form of a bill admitting the four territories as two states. The senate amended the bill by eliminat- ing all provisions relating to Arizona and New Mexico. In conference the conditional admission of these ter- ritorles as a state was agreed upon, and after vigorous debate in both houses the conference report was agreed to. After several years of effort on the part of the state department congress at this session passed an act reorgan- {zing the consular service. The con- suls general and consuls are grouped by classes, and provision is made for ‘en Inspection service consisting of five consuls general at large, with a sal- ary cf $5,000 each. No officer in the consular service receiving more than $1,000 is permitted to engage in busi- ness or practice law. All fees are to be turned into the treasury. “Origin- ally the bill prvided that the higher offices should be filled by promotion only, but this provision was elimin- sted and the promotion system has been established by the state depart- ment without further enactment. Boon in Alcohol Bill. A most important piece of legisla- tion is the removal of the tax upon denatured alcohol. It was strongly opposed by manufacturers of kerosene and gasoline. In the debate it was alleged that, with the tax removed, alcohol could be manufactured and sold cheaper than either kerosene or gasoline and that it would enter into universal use for illuminating, motive power and otherwise. A national quarantine law, provid- ing for uniformity of administration and giving the federal government power to establish quarantines in port cities and supersede the local and state authorities, has been passed. An employer's liability bill, to meet the demands of the trainmen of the United States, has been placed upon the statute books after years of effort. Congress has had difficulty with the executive departments through the expenditure of money and the incur- ving of obligations in excess of ap- propriations for many years. Several amendments to appropriation bills were made during this session de- signed to correct this abuse. Here- after the heads of executive depart- ments are required to apportion ap- propriations made for their depart- ments in order to avold deficiencies, and deficiency appropriations will be made only to cover unforeseen emer- gencies. Congress also put its foot down upon the disbursement of money collected by any department and not turned into the treasury. All money received hereafter must be turned into. the treasury, and no disbursements may be made except in accordance with appropriations of congress. Detailed estimates of all appropriations are required from all departments. It also is provided that no clerk shall be transferred to an- other department at a higher ‘salary until he has performed three years’ service in his first position. Greater Aid for Militia. Among the acts affecting the mili- prea ae Aaa als cen ge a 8 ae aia oe nae Ea Sr ee and providing for the punishment of midshipmen guilty of the offense. No opposition of importance devel- oped when the motion was made to concur in the conference report on the naturalization ill. It provides a board which will have charge of the naturalization of alfens, and makes some changes in the law relating to court proceedings in naturalization cases. General legislation during this ses- sion included an act prohibiting in- terstate commerce in spurious or falsely stamped articles made of gold or silver alloy, an act providing for the marking of the graves of confed- erate soldiers and sailors and an act providing for the disposition of the five civilized tribes of Indians. The principal legislation affecting the Philippines was an act postpon- ing the operation of the coastwise laws until April 11, 1909; another re- vising the Philippines tariff, and a third authorizing the purchase of coal claims by the secretary of war, A Dill was passed providing for the election of a delegate in congress from Alaska.. Provision was made for the allotment of homesteads to natives of that district. ‘The “Alaska fund” was created, through which receipts from Nquor and business licenses will be devoted to the schools and, road build- ing. A Dill was passed prohibiting aliens from fishing in Alaskan waters. An important measure to cattle in- terests is that changing the 28-hour law so that cattle may be kept in cars 36 hours without unloading, Immigration Bill Fails, Among the important measures that have failed the immigration pill de mands first consideration. It failed because a conference committee was not appointed to settle the disagree- ment between the two houses. After a spirited fight in the house, in which Speaker Cannon participated, the im- migration bill, originally a senate measure, was passed, with a substitute for the “educational test,” which re- quired immigrants to possess the abil- ity to read English or some other lan- guage. The house substituted a sec- tion providing for a commission to in- vestigate the subject of immigration. ‘The bill will command attention when ‘congress reconyenes in the fall. The bill to prevent contributions by corporations to campaign funds was started in the house. It was forced through the senate by the indefatig- able efforts of Senator Tillman. The house leaders refused to let it come up there, although it is understood action will be permitted at the next sesssion. The Democrats charge that ‘the Kepublicans want to lay it over until after the congressional elections, in order to get one more chance at the ‘corporation barrel- Z - ‘The Philippine tariff bill is still an- other notable failure. It was one of the features of the original adminis- tion programme, was whipped through the house after a celebrated fight with the insurgents, and eventually landed in the seclusion of a senate commit- tee-room. It has been allowed to be forgotten for the present, ‘The immunity bill, designed to pre- vent the recurrence of flascos such as attended the prosecution of the Chi- cago beef cases, passed the house and in amended form was reported favor- ably’trom the senate committee on ju- diclary. Ever since then efforts to get it up have failed owing to the objec- tion of some senator or other. It has been a hard session for treat- ies. The Santo Domingo convention, much desired by the administration, has been kept down by the hostile mi- nority in the senate. No action has been taken either on the Isle of Pines or Algeciras treaties. Fate of Labor Bills. Bills, most of which were demanded by the leaders of organized labor, have met their fate as follows: 1. The anti-injunction bill—dead in the judiciary committee. _ 2 ‘The eight-hour bill, reported from the committee on labor, but not acted upon. 3. The election of senators in con- gress by direct yote of the people— dead in committee. 4. The publicity of campaign ex- penses Dill, recently reported to the house, but not acted upon. 5. The letter carriers’ bill—dead in committee. 6. The bill to regulate the hours ot railway trainmen—dead in committee. 7. The bill for the relief of the Slo- cum survivors—dead in committee. 8. The bill to prevent convict-made goods from competing with the goods manufactured by honest labor—dead in comms: 2.

After Washing Never Go Out Into Cold Air—Soften the Water— No Tight Sleeves. ‘The art of having nice hands is one that almost any woman ean pick up. It is not hard, but it takes nack, ad- monishes Mme. Pulie D'Arcy. Hands should be kept warm for an hour after being washed. Never take them right out into the cold air. Hanés should be washed not in hard water but in water softened with bor- ax. A teaspoonfuP in a basin of water is about right. Once a week the water can be made milky with benzoin, Hands should always be dipped in a little perfumed water. There is a very dainty woman in town who prepares ® bowl of rose water every morning, and into this she dips her fingers sey- eral tmes a day to take off the soapy smell, She makes the rose vinegar herseif from a home formula. Very dainty women can conclude the hand-washing process by pouring a drop of the oil of jassamine into the palm of the hand. This makes the hands positively lovely, The jassa- mine cil permeates them and gene- trates the skin in a lasting way. Women whose hands are growing old can check the ravages of: time by rubbing a little of a good nail emollient into the cuticle every night.

A Kindly, Pleasant Attitude Reveals the Person of Good Breeding— About the Retort Courteous. Where politeness is only put on for the occasion, it is very likely to prove an ill-fitting garment, dropping at un- expected times and leaving the bare skin of the boor to show. ‘To show real courtesy is to feel it; that which is only assumed is forgotten when occasion demands its exercise, and coarse self appears, because the heart 18 wrong. Perhaps it may be true in 2 measure that one who always is polite may find that politeness mistaken for submis- siveness that is out of place, should he or she come in contact with the realiy rude nature. But even then, if it be necessary to assert one’s self in order to. be respect<d, it must still be done with due regard to the observance of politeness. Otherwise, the same plane fs touched whereon the low nature dwells and there is no apparent differ- ence, ‘The man who finds he must use his fists to guard himself from the ready fists of the bully, does it quietly but ‘effectively, and the woman who must ‘Aefend herself with retort from the at- tacks of some other woman, who can- not possibly be called a lady, finds ref- uge in the very perfection of retaining olive oil, half and half, mixed over hot water, or take a little mutton tallow, made creamy with olive oil, and you will have something good. It is easy to make a gcod nail emollient. One reason why most hands are poor is that women don’t take time to at- tend to them. It takes too long to hunt up the soapy bowl of water, too Jong to find the pumice, too long to gather together the polish, the bottle of scent, the scissors and the emolli- ents. They should be all located on a tray where they can be brought out in an instant. Knuekles that are too big should be filled with cream. Take enough to fill the knuckle and massage it in. This will make the flesh softer and will take away the tendency to lump. Never let your knuckles get hard and black. ‘Tight sleeves and tight collars will make the hands red. Don’t let your collar be tight enough to make your wrists swell. Don't yet your collar bind your throat or your sleeves bind your arm. Never mind what the fash- jon may be. You want pretty hands. ‘Try to keep the palms of your hands soft. Hard hands are repulsive. The soft palm is absolutely » seductive. ‘Many a heart has been won by the soft touch of a light hand. Practice the light touch. Experiment upon your friends, Is your hand heavy or is it light? TULLE: AND OSTRICH TIPS. Tulle and Tips Much Used in Millin- ery and Also as Hair Decora- tion for Evening Dress, I am not keen on long white ostrich feathers, unless very cleverly used, but I have always been im- mensely keen on the little white ostrich tip, I mean the kind that for a long time one has only seen on babies’ hats and court head- dresses. I love the little white ostrich tips for hats, and I love them too in the new evening head-dresses, a soft pleated ruche of tulle encir- cling the topknot, whilst the little white plumes nod at the side. “Oz course, though I like the new head- dress best in creamy-white, it may be effective matching a frock of pink or pale blue or mauve. Since women made up their minds that they must trim their heads, too, when trimmed up in their evening frocks, they have exploited ribbons and chiffon, and seqitins and plumes to distraction, not to mention things flowery; so the tulle ruche will come with a sense of relief, indeed I think it is rather a useful quantity just now in other re- spects. I notice that such ruches all ready for popping on hats may be found now at some of the shops, and these are so becoming around a sailor or a mushroom, that, armed there- with, any girl may trim a hat in the twinkling of an eye; you have the shape, the ruche, make these twain one, and a most becoming hat is the instant result. Of course, it may have flowers arranged on {ts brim bandeau, end, as an extra charm, on the crown, but this is at her dis- eretion or desire. The fact remains, that a tulle ruche will of itself trim a round hat most becomingly, and, metaphorically speaking, “in the twinkling of an eye.” An excellent recipe for sweet 17 is this tulle ruched hat, and one which she, if on allow. ance; may get for ever so little. her seif-posseasion. She knows that should she attempt vituperation, she would find herself completely at the mercy of her opponent's trained tongue, versed in such matters, so she can only maintain heg own self-respect and claim that of everyone else, by refraining from any but the polite— which may really be extremely cutting —retort. : Any service that is asked or rendered —any and every task we require from those paid to do what they aré told to do, 4s all the better, all the more will- ingly end properly performed, if stmple courtesy is extended in the requiring.

Once upon a time, in the midst of a campaign, Mr. Hoadley was to de liver a speech at a little town in the great and glorious Buckeye state. When ‘he reactied the one hotel tba town boasted he walked up to the register and wrote his name. The proprietor - head - porter - steward- head-walter-depotrunner was behind the desk in his shirt sleeves, his hat on the back of his head, and a cigar stump held between his teeth. When the visitor had put down his John Hancock, the factotum turned the register around, read without a flicker of an eyelid the name there written, wrote “10” beside it with a lead pen- cil and said: “You kin jest take yer grip right up that stairway there an’ back down th’ hall clean to th’ end. Yer room's right on th’ lifet-hand side of th’ hall, in th’ corner—No. 10.” ‘With considerable astonishment and not a little injured dignity, Ohio's chief executive pointed to his name, smiled faintly, and said: “I am George Hoadley, governor of the state of Ohio!” ‘Turning then with a look of exas- perated impatience on his face,’ the hotel man exclaimed: “Well, what d’ye expect me t’ do— ee aaa WANTED MORE SNAKES.

No. 1526 Morgan Street, ST. LOUIS, MO. 211 N. Seventh St KING ALFONSO'S LINEAGE. Unites in His Veins the Blood of Two Famous Royal Families of Europe. Alfonso XIII. unites in his veins the blood of the houses of Bourbon and Hapsburg. He goes straight back to Hugh Capet (A. D. 987) of France, founder of all that line of kings whose weal and woe culminated in the French revolution, and he can claim lineage with the long line of the Louis of France, St. Louis, Louis XI., Louis XIV, and all the Philips and Ferdinands of Spain, including our own patron, Isabella. In his paternal line are great men, wise rulers and good men, and also monsters of tyranny, debauchery and every human frailty. Such names as Philip II., Alva, Torquemada, Crazy Jane, Isabella the Catholic, St. Louis, all suggest possibilities of inherited tendencies that may have come to this amiable youth from his paternal line. Alfonso bears in his face to a striking degree the physiognomical marks of his lineage. The high nose of the Bourbons, the pendulous lip of the Hapsburgs and the emaciated figure of the Spanish line of one of his ancestors because the grandee whose business it was to attend to the fire did not happen to be present when the fumes of the stove threatened the monarch's life. On the contrary, Alfonso XIII. seems to be a good deal of a democrat—Indianapolis Star. A ZAKOPANE HOUSE. They Were Well Built, as Is Proven by Examples in the Center of Europe. A Zakopane house is a very carefully finished wooden structure, built of tight-fitting, heavy logs of spruce, which become reddish brown with age, and are surmounted by a very steep, high shingle roof which gives a good protection against the heavy falls of snow and rain, and with its triangular gables of acute angles harmonizes well with the Tatra peaks and the tail spruce trees. The frame of the door is built of very heavy blocks of wood, surmounted by a semicircular arch, joined together by two anchor-shaped pieces, and held in place by rows of elaborately curved wooden pegs. The big rafters of the ceiling are embellished with carved ornaments of a very unique conception. The circular kolo zboyeckie, the heart-shaped pazenitsa, and the svastica, with sharp points, are some of the main motives of this odd ornamentation with which the goorals in a very judicious way adorn their asi-wood furniture, woodpep vessels and instruments. It is wonderful how in the center of old Europe they have remained unaffected by the leaving force of modern civilization, and have developed a style absolutely unlike Poland or in neighboring Hungary.—Century. GOING TO PLANT LOBSTERS "I was up in northern Vermont about the first of May," said the Boston insurance angent, "and one day I had a farmer drive me across the country between two towns. In our conversation he told me that he had 40 acres of land, but owing to its sterility he could hardly make a living. In a joking way, and supposing he would take it as a joke, I asked: "'Why don't you plant the whole thing to gondolas?' 'Yes, I might,' he mused, 'but I think I have got a better thing—something that will pay big after two or three years.' "'And what is that?' And what is that? "There was a feller up here from Cape Coho the other day and he told me that it was just the place to grow lobsters, and he's going to send me up half a dozen to begin with next fall." "Did he give you any statistics about them?" "Figures, you mean? All the said was that they took care of themselves, kept skunks away and sold for 50 cents apiece as soon as they were big enough to climb trees. That's good enough for me." His Perpetual Office. The old black auntie who looked after Congressman Robertson, of Louisiana, if his babyhood is disposed to be congratulatory at times. Not long ago she said to him: "I'te proud o' yo', Marse Sam. 'Deed I is, honey, proud o' if de way yo' hol office,jes like yo' father." "Why, what office did my father ever hold, auntie?" asked Mr. Robertson. "Marse Sam," said the old woman, "is yo' done forgot dat? He was a candidate, you paw was. Nev' knew de time he wasn't a candidate; no, sah; always held de office, Marse Sam, did yo' paw." Lost Ship's Crew Months ago the Portuguese warship Baptista Andrado, carrying a new governor to Mozambique, disappeared from the world's ken. All hands have been found on an African island, whither the ship was driven by a tornado. In this day Robinson Cruse would have a poor chance of living through enough adventure to make a book; some ship with no regard for literary possibilities would pick him up within a year.
