Cole last week, and all persons seemed to enjoy themselves. The musical and literary concert given by the Chrysanthemum club at Providence Baptist church last week was also a financial success. The Mission circle of Providence church held their regular monthly meeting last Sunday and had several joiners. They have also arranged for a grand barbecue to be given at the church Thursday, September 20th. Rev. Dr. Cole will leave next day for the National Baptist convention, which will convene in Memphis, Tenn., and while south he may take a flying trip to his old home in Mississippi. The Chrysanthemum club presented Providence church with a $250 piano last week. Dr. Cole reports a pleasant visit to the Wood River Baptist association last week. This is the oldest negro INFORMAL DAMES. The Informal Dames were entertained on Saturday, September 1, at the home of Mrs. Haldee Campbell, on South Jefferson avenue, in a style which afforded the keenest enjoyment from the beginning to the close. After the brief business routine was finished, miniature souvenirs, representing a traveler's suit case, was presented to each one, with an invitation to accompany the traveler (in spirit at least) on the various trips as they were described. A program, unique and most interesting in character, entitled "Trips Abroad." was presented by the hostess (who is also the literary director of the club) in a charming poetic effusion. The first number introduced was a brilliant piano solo, by Miss Maudelle Brown, executed in magnificent style. Miss Nell Grant was next introduced, and presented a most interesting description of the various places, and scenes of historical events, visited while on an extended eastern tour during the past summer. The charming grace of manner, peculiar to this young traveler, made the recital doubly interesting and attractive. The number following was a vocal solo, rendered in exquisite style and voice by Miss Idar壁, of Philadelphia, whose warblings incited a most enthusiastic core, which was responded to by the inimitable "Cuckoo song." Next came Miss Mabel Wheeler, who, in a fluent and catchy manner, delighted her listeners with a graphic description of her trip to Atlantic City, and of her adventures and experiences while Miss Maudelle Brown next appeared, and was greeted with applause as she related phases of her three years' experience as a student of the University of Illinois, and gave an interesting description of the college and its interior and surrounding appointments and architectural beauty. The enjoyable program closed with a sweet lullaby song rendered in soft, pathetic tones, by our own Beulah Patterson Harris. After a brief season of social converse, an invitation to repair to the garden was extended by the hostess, which was illuminated by the mild light of numerous Japanese lanterns. A dainty and bountiful menu was served to the delighted Baptist association in the United States. It was organized sixty-eight years ago. Everyone be prepared to give a dollar next Sunday toward the coal fund. Mrs. Josie Glenn, a member of Providence Baptist church, is very ill at this writing. She wishes the members to call and see her. Any one desiring to take this paper by the week or month, call or send a postal to Miss Ella Rucks, 2218 Morgan street. Have your printing done by the Washington Brothers, 2621 Lucas avenue. Call any time. Mrs. E. L. Fontelroy of Kirkwood entertained a party of young people at her home, and all an enjoyable time.

He leaves a widow and many children to mourn their loss. This is indeed a sudden blow to the family, who will greatly miss their provider and protector. We trust that the God of Heaven will still provide for them in the same way as did their father and husband. We deeply sympathize with them in this hour of trouble. HAS RETURNED HOME. C.

We wish her well, but we are sure she will soon return to our old St. Louis. The Y. M. C.

Moderator of Berean Association. Berean Baptist Association met in regular session at Kirkwood, Mo. Aug. 19, 1906. The association was a most peaceful and prosperous Christian gathering. The attendance and collections were good, and God witnessed His sanction to the assembly by His presence each day. The following officers were chosen for the ensuing year: "Moderator." Rev. Wm. Venerable, Ph. D.; Dr. Venerable is pastor of "Compton Hill" church, where, in October, the Baptist State convention will meet. He is also a member of the managing board of Western College, Macon, Mo., and has reflected great credit on Berean as moderator before. We are sure that his election will inspire hope of a better day in all the churches. Dr. Venerable issues a challenge to any minister of layman to debate before "all the people," or a "select few," his recent course in church and Berean affairs. Some of the leading White and Colored Baptist clergy, declare that Dr. Venerable's course is, with out controversy, absolutely Baptistic. Dr. D. A. Purnell and Rev. N. Martin, 1st and 2nd Vice Moderators; Deacon P. A. Buckner succeeded himself as treasurer of Berean. Miss Lucy M. Arnold, recording secretary. Miss Susie Edwards, corresponding secretary. Rev. Polk W.

HOLDING CONFERENCES Zayas, Liberal Leader, Declares the Whole Matter Is a Political Question, and the People Should Decide. Havana. — Peace is in the air, and on all sides there is hope that matters will be arranged between the government and the insurgents so as to avoid further bloodshed. However, there has been no tangible advance towards an agreement or a definitive arrangement of a basis for negotiation. To Confer With Insurgents. In the meantime fighting has been practically suspended. Delegates informally chosen by a small group of veterans have started to the camps of Pino Guerra, Col. Asbert, Gen. Guzman, and others of the insurgent leaders, with the purpose of learning what would be acceptable to the actual fighting leaders of the revolution. A similar committee started for Cienfuegos to consult, under a flag of truce, with the insurgent leaders in Santa Clara province. Field Operations Suspended. Although the fact has not been made public, the government commanders have been directed to suspend active field operations until it can be determined what can be done to end the war. It is feared that the demands of the insurgent leaders in the field will be much more exacting than those of insurgent sympathizers in the cities who, ostensibly at least assume to be noncombatants. Political Conference. Gen. Menocal, Gen. Cebreco and other veterans held a conference with Alfredo Zayas, leader of the liberal party. Gen. Menocal and others stated that they had no plans formulated, but that they wished to hear from him. Senor Zayas said the whole matter was a political question, which had taken the form of an armed protest, and that it must be treated from the political standpoint. He called attention to the willingness of the liberal senators and representatives, even those who were not elected at the last election, to resign if their opponents would do likewise, and make an appeal to the country. Liberals Want Assurance. The liberals, if they agree to anything, will want some form of assurance for the carrying out of pledges which will satisfy their party, and inducing those in active insurrection to lay down their arms. Gen. Menocal visited Jose Miguel Gomez, and all the other distinguished alleged conspirators who are in prison here. All were disposed to persist in the demand for general resignations and subsequent elections. Five Thousand Troops Engaged in a Big Maneuver. Fort Riley, Kas. — The regular cavalry and infantry began a big maneuver by brigades in making dispositions for the formation of an encamped enemy. The provisional brigades employed included elements of all arms, and each made a good-sized army, about 5,000 troops taking part in the problem. This maneuver will be continued Friday, an of the regulars will unite in one command as a division in work in the same problem. A very formidable-looking redoubt is being built on the Fort Riley reservation near Morris Hill. The work was started by the engineers, and the infantry at the camp has been taking turns at assisting digging the great trenches and banking up the earth. Several hundred men are employed on the work at one time. Just as soon as the redoubt is finished the siege batteries will take up a position several miles away, and blow the fort up with their seven and five-inch shells. Official Publication Embodying the Government Programme. St. Petersburg, — An official communication embodying the whole government programme has been published. The programme embraces courts martial for political crimes, and an increase of the penalties for revolutionary propaganda. Useless restrictions on Jews shall be abolished forthwith. Death of Dr. Harriet French. Philadelphia, Pa. — Dr. Harriet S. French, aged 82, for more than 50 years president of the Philadelphia branch of the Women's Christian Temperance union, died at her home here of heart failure. Pana (III.) Man Shoots His Father. Pana, Ill. — Mr. Joseph Kerr, aged 26, shot and dangerously wounded his father, Cassius Kerr, a well- known business man. He fired four shots, the last passing through the right lung. THE IMPORTATION OF GOLD TO FACILITATE, SEC. SHAW WILL DEPOSIT IN NATIONAL BANKS. National City Bank Crowd of New York Wants the Secretary to Purchase Government Fours. New York. — It was officially announced in the sub-treasury that on and after next Monday and until further notice, Secretary Shaw will make deposits in national banks to facilitate the importation of gold. The bonds in which savings banks in Massachusetts and New York are permitted to invest will be accepted at 90 per cent as security pending the arrival of gold. The actual engagement of gold must precede the deposit and must be paid back as soon the gold arrives. This is a slight modification of the order issued by the secretary last April which brought into the country over $40,000,000 in gold. It is reported in Wall street that the secretary is considering two forms of additional relief. One is the depositing in country banks of $50,000,000 and the other the purchasing of between $30,000,000 and $35,000,000 of the government 4 per cents of 1907. If the secretary buys these bonds he will subject himself to the criticism of playing into the hands of the National City Bank crowd. That bank has for a year been buying up their 4 per cents to sell them to the secretary at a profit. It is said to have accumulated between $30,000,000 and $35,000,000 of the bonds. In its last monthly circular the bank urged the secretary to take this action and justified the move by every argument known to bankers. The Effect In Wall Street. New York. — The stock market showed some stimulating effect from the order of the treasury department permitting deposit of government funds with national banks against engagements of gold for import. The effect was moderate, partly owing to the fact that the call money market did not show the expected relaxation as a result of the news. As the measure of relief does not become operative until next Monday, no actual increase of banking resources was immediately supplied. No actual steps were announced to take advantage of the facilities promised by the secretary of the treasury to help the gold movement. No doubt is felt among bankers, however, that a considerable inward movement of gold will follow. The use of government deposits may extend under the order to engagements of gold made by the banks either before or after the going into effect of the order. Gold in transit to New York next Monday will give to the consignees the right to the use of government funds until its arrival as well as the gold engaged on or after that date. The order makes no restrictions on the time that may be required for the receipt of the gold if it has been actually engaged or shipped. This would make it feasible to buy gold in Australia, Japan or even in South Africa, and make the proceeds available for use in New York from the date of purchase without expense for interest charges while the bullion is in transit. The arrangement is the same as that in force last April, with the exception of restriction against what seemed abuses of the prices at that time. It was supposed that some of the recent accumulation of gold in London by undisclosed agencies has been for New York account, in expectation of the treasury action which has been taken. In that case such sums would be promptly available on Monday, when the treasury order goes into effect for use in New York. London Brokers Cautious. London. — Prices on the stock exchange were fairly steady, but the further withdrawals of gold for the United States had a weakening effect on consols. Discount brokers were acting cautiously, owing to the American demand for gold. Treasury Statement. Washington, D. C.—Statement of the treasury balances in the general fund exclusive of the $150,000,000 gold reserve shows: Available cash balances, $202,507,927. Gold coin and bullion, $109,711,386; gold certificates, $55,618,000. Gold From the Bank of England. London. — The following amounts of bullion were withdrawn for shipment from the bank of England: To the continent, £26,000; to Constantinople, £100,000; South America, £10,000, and United States, £453,000. During the past week bullion in the bank decreased £503,777. Discount Unchanged. London. — The rate of discount of the Bank of England remains unchanged, at 3¼ per cent Mayor of Kansas City, Kas., Resigns Kansas City, Mo. — Mayor Rose of Kansas City, Kas., called a meeting of the common council to convene this afternoon to act upon his resignation. Served On the Alabama. London. — Capt. John Low, who served on the confederate cruiser Alabama, died Thursday in Liverpool. ST.LOUIS to LOUISVILLE LEXINGTON, KY. Trains Leave Union Station 10:00 A.

There are about 171 Negro news- papers published in the United States, and a8 near a8 wescan count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each...... 30 iilinols and North Carolin, 12 each.. 24 Missisaippl .. -.-ccestceetrsesrerseen IE Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 TeXAS « s<sersactensespeanseenyaveelta Missourl™. <achossescucesrsearsnteny ® Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 @8CB.......s.sceccee0n. 18 Washington, D.

We have about 20 of them that last some- times a year. The whites are flooded down with them. Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side with weekly white papers of this coun try, Our people have not as yet ar- Tived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, He- brew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper ia published, We take it for a fact that the ma- jority of Negro ladies and gentlemen Tead the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read & paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Itallan or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their news- papers, magazines and other period- icals as the pivot on which their in- formation is dispensed among the peo- ple. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhab- itants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dis- Pinse news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the rea- son is because they were not support- ed. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders In the journalistic world, and prilliant 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 Missourl. We have more business men and women that advertise in The Palladium than any four Negro papers in the west. | Happenings in Missouri ppening. : Imposed on the Matron. Missouri's Resources.

She was milking cows on the Monaghan homestead, and ‘opened a corral gate to let a cow out. Immediately half a dozen wild cows rushed to the gate. Mrs. Randall was knocked down, and the stampeding bovines rushed over her prostrate body, trampling it almost into the earth, lacerating her face and crush- ing her ribs. Death followed soon after. The body was taken to Hop» Xins, Joplin s Wild Man, Joplin is reveling in the inexpensive luxury of a sure enough wild man, who is infesting the neighborhood north of Smelter hill. Joplin is too far inland for a sea serpent, and this far President Stensland, of Chicago, has not suggested himself to the pub- licity committee. The wild man has been seen sitting in the top of a tall sycamore tree, but he eseaped and on sundry oceasions he has chased women and children. It is stated that his at- tire is several degrees closer to the simple life than even a peek-a-boo waist. His Watermelon Profits Gone. C. G. Harmon, a farmer living two miles from Liberty, reportéd to the Kansas City police that he was robbed of $135 while on a street car riding from the city market to the Union depot. He said he marketed a carload of watermelons and placed the pro- ceeds, after all expenses had been paid, in a leather wallet in his pocket. He boarded a car and when he reachet the Union depot the wallet and money were gone. Kansas City Pioneer Dead. Col. Francis Foster, chief of Kan- sas City’s first volunteer fire depart- ment and postmaster in the admin~ istrations of Presidents Lincoln, An- drew Jobnson and Grant, died at his home in that city recently of old age. Col. Foster was one of the old Masons of Kansas City. He was master of Kansas City lodge 220 in 1862 and ‘6s and was the oldest living pastmaster of that lodge. This lodge conducted the Masonic funeral service, Indenendence Bonds Sold. The new issue of Independence city bonds, authorized in the recent special election, has been purchased by the W. R. Compton Mortgage company, of Macon. They take the bonds at par. The rate of interest is 4% per cent. The amount of the issue is $30,000. One-half of this amount is for im- proving the electric lighting system and the other half for improving the sewerage system. Hold Your Apples. 8. A. Haseltine, one of the most ex- tensive apple growers in the Ozark fruit region, declares that the apple erop in Missouri this year is not more than one-half the usual output, and that reports asserting that there is a mammoth crop this year are cir- culated by apple buyers to scare the small producers into selling their ap- ples now at low prices, A Queer Sect. A religious sect, whose members, as an article of faith, wear no buttons upon their garments, have settlements near Centralia in Audrian and Boone counties. The neighbors good-natur- edly call them “Hooks and Byes,” or “Hookers.” ‘They are, however, Men- nonites of the strictest sect, followers of the teachings of Amish Mennon. igus Vat ate ene ceacal Blairstown man was handling a lit- ter of bull pups when he was bitten by a bullsnake, which had joined them. The new convert is always the most zealous Should Continue Prospecting. An Excelsior Springs man claims to have tapped a well of pure soda water at a depth of 90 feet. He should go a little deeper and prospect for ginger ale and root beer. Saline’s Pea Fowl Farm. In Saline county there is an old farm where pea fowls have lived and flourished, looked pretty and made a noise, for more than 50 years. It is known as the “Peafowl farm.” The original pioneer who settled it had something of a loye for the beautiful; hence he turned loose a pair of pea- fowls and now there are nearly 100 of those beautiful birds, undomesti- cated, shy, unprofitable in a’ commer- cial sense, but pretty to look upon. No money, it is sald, could buy those peafowls of that farmer, Missouri’s Resources. It has often been said tit a wali could be built around Missouri so as to imprison all of the inhabitants and that all would live as well and lux- urious as now. It remained for the state labor bureau to prove that such is really the case, The 1906 report of this department shows that the farm- ers of Missouri raise more than enough of all the necessary foodstuffs to feed the ihabitants, and also a large va- riety of commodities which are class- ed as luxuries, Enough wool is clipped and enough éotton raised to furnish all the necessary clothing, and enough! hides and pelts sent to the market for shoes and-all other leather goods. For real cold weather the game of the state annually supplies enough fur for muffs, gloves and heavy wraps, with some to spare for fur rugs and other similar house furnishings. ‘The [forestry products are sufficlent to stp: ply the demand for everything in the way of lumber, including tar for roofs and wooden ware for the kitch- en. The southeast counties can sup- ply enough cottonwood and willow for the printers and ali oghers needing this article. The supply of coal is almost inexhzustible, and the same can be said of zinc, iron, lead and other minerals. There are traces of gold and silver in the state, and every variety of stone is found. Lime and cement are turned out yearly in im- mense quantities and the material which forms these commodities will Jast for half a entury, if not Ionger. Every vegetable, root and herb needed in compounding ordinary drugs can be and is grown here, Sufficient to- bacco is raised to supply the demand for smoking and chewing, and for those who want a pipe there is the famous “Missouri meerschaum,” made from corncobs. Many do not know that al falfa is raised in the state, but there is an abundance of it. According to the statisticians, one county, Pemiscot, alone in 1905 shipped out 2,000 tons which sold for $21,000, and it kent enough at home to last until the next crop. Popcorn is grown plentifully, and more than supplies the demand of the state. The surplus in 1905 was 85,249 pounds, which sold’ for $1,264. The minerals ot the state and the clay, kaolin, barytes and tripoli sup- ply everything needed for brick, pot- tery and paint And there is cobalt to color fancy glass and chinaware. Pearls found in the fresh water clams of the upper Mississippi are in great demand and often bring faney prices, Green county supplies all the wood needed for iead pencils. There: is wine and natural mineral water to ‘meet all the demands, and terrapins, frogs, turtles and crawfish for those who demand something out of the ordinary in their diets, Sill worms are being experimented with in Miss- issippi_and Bollinger counties, with more than an eyen chance of success, s mulberry trees grow there in einandan ek: The Missouri “Meerschaums.” | Practically all of the corncot pipes used in the world are made in Missouri, The annual produc. tion of . more than 2,000,000 pounds means approximately 24,000,- 000 pipes. The material used in their making is specially grown on thous- ands of acres of Missouri land. Many smokers in England, Germany and other European countries use the “Missouri meerschaum.” The corn cob pipe is essentially a Missouri pro- duct. In its present form, improved from the crude object whittled out by the casual farmhand since corn cobs were discovered, was the inven- tion of a Missourian. Here it first attained the importance of an article of commerce. Thirty years ago ther lived in Washington, Mo., a village 20 miles from St. Louis, a German cobbler, keysmith, clock repairer and all ‘round tinker, Henry Tibbe by name, This workman owned a small lathe operated by a treadle, on which he made odd and ingenious objects. One day, while watching the laborious manufacture of a cob pipe, shaped and hollowed out with a jackknife, it occurred to Tibbe that he could make much better pipes on his lathe. He tried the experiment, and a little later was turning out the now famous “Missouri meerschaums” by the thousands. A Church Is Divided. The Ozark Presbytery of the Cum- berland Presbyterian church met at New Bethel church at Golden City and divided over the policy of unit- ing with the Presbyterian church. The moderator, Rev. W. E. Shan, of Lockwood, and a majority of thé elders preseat voted to remain with the old organization, but some of the ministers and delegates adjourned to the church yard, where they affected another organization, with Rev. W. C. Mahr, of Aurora, as moderator and Rey. W. R. Russell of Eeverton, as secretary. Vandiver’s Wrath Aroused. ‘The state superintendent of insur- ance, W. D. Vandiver, is having a tilt with John C. McNeely, of St. Jo- seph, prosecuting attorney of Bu- chanan county. Mr. Vandiver charges Mr. McNeely with failure to make W. §.

So far the state ticket is the best, and no Republican should doubt it. If every Republican will do his duty the ticket will be elected, along with the Con- gressmen from the Tenth, Eieventh and Twelfth congressional districts. ‘The Republican state committee and the city central committee should place true and tried speakers in the field to speak for the people, that they ‘may know the issues before them.

It publishes the good ‘snd the bad, regardless of individuals. ¥reachers, doctors, business men and the common laboring men have the same show in the Palladium.

She will return to Edwardsville, IIL, to live, which place is her former home. We regret very much to lose a a good agent, as she was bust ‘nesslike and understood paper work. ‘The Palladium wishes her prosperity in her new home. : The baseball game was quite as in- ‘teresting as the other games last Mon: day. President Marshall did all he could to make things as lively as ‘possible. Mr. E. W. Newsome was on hand, but soon tired and left. Mr. George Evans took up a deal of time explaining things to two ladies; he is O. K. The running, jumping, etc., reminded us of 40 years ago, when boys did such; now ft has become a fad for men. U.

(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 pub- lished 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 denoune- ing crime regardless of conse- quences. Our Advertisers Are All Reliable And You Will Be Benefited By Pat- ronizing Them. THE DUTY OF A NEWSPAPER. ‘The manager of the Palladium has been most severely criticized for the persistency 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 detri- mental 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 {ts knowledge of the world through the columns of is newspapers and it ex- pects truth from them. It is the height of injustice to cater to an individual, because of the class into which he has been fortunate enough to intrude himself. To a race attempting to climb the ladder of public's good opinion, and reach the pinacle of success in being recognized as a race worthy of a chance, the exposure of any person whose morals are not what they ough! to be is just as essential as the re- moval 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 ig- norant person on the plea of his ig- norance. The Palladium is not seeking noto- riety through scathing articles, it is simply trying to print the truth with- out 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 arti- cle criticizing any person without proof of its authenticity. He knows whereof he speaks. Next week, the public will hear some more scathing news. Money In Poultry. For one of limited means the pout: try business offers greater induce ments than any other. Parties whe can not venture into the more expen sive branches of live stock breeding have unusual advantages in the poul try business, among them being the fact that poultry and eggs are always saleable and at high prices. Fowls rap- idly multiply, and this fact enables one to begin in a small way, and gradually extend and increase the op- erations, while a single individual is capable of attending to and caring for a very large number. No poultry bust- ness is complete, however, without an incubator. Young chicks are more profitable than anything connected with such bustness, and an incubator enables the poultryman to hatch when- ever he desires, without being depend: ent upon the whims of the hens. Eggs, too, will pay a large profit to those who make a specialty of them, and should not be overlooked. The best capital that can be devoted to the business is careful management and the use of thoroughbred stock. To at- ‘tempt to make poultry pay with the use of scrubs will be useless. | The Demand For Mules. The demand for mules within the past few years has actually created a dearth of the long-eared animals in Hardin county, Ky., says the Elizabeth- town News. There are now very few mules in the county, hardly enough for farm use. The mule buyers and feed- ers are now going out of the county to make their purchases. While some are buying in the upper counties, oth- ers are invading Indiana and the west. FOR SALE—Nine-room Lawton ave- nue house; hall, furnace and bath; $4,000.

Now that the chairman or the state committee is back, we shall expect the same victory that we had two years ago. Let every republican do his duty. Congressman R. Bartholdt at the Tenth district, Congressman Henry Coudy of the Twelfth district, or Congressman Henry Scaulfield of the Eleventh district will, or ought to get every Negro vote that they may be elected. As the election day draws near, the Palladium will enter the political field for the success of the republican party. The Palladium will reach in the state any county where our people are, and we hope to thunder forth the true doctrine of the republican party from now till election day in November. We want to get a political editor. C. H. Tandy and others will aid us. We will be heard at all times. WATCH THEM. There was a democratic rally, August 31, under the auspices of the Scullin club of the Twenty-fifth ward, at Muth's hall. This was one of the largest meetings that we have attended, and it seemed that the very air was impregnated with Scullin sentiment. If Mr. Scullin is nominated in the Twelfth congressional district, it will be a hard task for anyone to beat him. The democrats are now at work, while the republicans are lying on their arms. No less than 700 Negroes were at the meeting, and all of them seemingly were for him. It is reported that Messrs. Scullin and Gallagher give work to over 1,000 men, 600 of whom are Negroes, who live in this district. The gentlemen are making hay while the sun shines, so look out. We think that the race in this district will be between Hon. Harry Coudrey and Hon. Wn. R. Scullin. Nowadays when we speak to a republican they say: "There is time enough," while the democratic are cutting the sand from under their feet. HAVE YOU SENT YOUR DOLLAR? HAVE YOU SENT YOUR DOLLAR? TO REPUBLICANS: TO REPUBLICANS: We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee. Help us achieve a great victory. JAMES S. SHEKMAN, Chairman. P. O.

It is better to recuperate flesh than it is to reduce it by a process of exertion in a given time. It tends to weaken rather than strengthen. This was the case with Gans. Yet the Negro was so anxious to prove to the world that man was not in color, fashion or dress. On this occasion he signed away every right any many to get at this Scandinavian, after receiving rebuff, insults and other indignities, hence he did not hail from another race. Gans acted and fought according to the rules. He earned the respect of all men who like fighting, and from the first to the forty-first round he demonstrated that Nelson was not in it. What's the matter with Gans? He's all right, and if you don't believe it, ask Nelson. It was said that Nelson would win, but Gans, with $2,000, as he stepped in the ring, said: "This speaks; where is a taker." Not in sight. Gans, after taking the last insult from Nelson, said to him: "I will attend to you when I get you into the ring." What followed—ask Nelson. RIP SAW COLUMN OF THE ST.

She is only waiting and watching for _____ You know who. It may not be the logical one, but before another twelve months there will be a Mrs. J. W. Wheeler that will be in charge of the Palladium man's home. Colored girls who formerly went to balls, picnics, card playing and every dog fight at night must now stop that, for they are working down in the city, and at 8 o'clock they must ring up—not a telephone—but ring up to let the timekeeper know you are on hand. As we stood in our invisible robe on the corner of Lucas and Sixth street we noticed a number of Aunt Hager's children come out of the building. We then stepped out of our invisible robe, and when they saw us they dropped their heads. We wish to inform them that work is honorable. LAST WEDNESDAY we noticed the negro girls who work at the Grand Leader as they came out of the door. There were one or two rounders waiting for them. That is why they want to work down in the city. It is only a matter of time until they will fall into the ditch and be smeared. The rounders who were waiting for the girls are not worth the powder that would blow them to h—. Only watch. JNO. S.

Civil Service Applicants May Spell Either Way Washington, Sept. 6.—The United States civil service commission will only go half way in following President Roosevelt into the field of reformed orthography. The order has gone out to examiners all over the country to notify applicants for positions that either the old or the new style of spelling would be acceptable to the commission: "We could hardly adopt an arbitrary rule in this matter, and say that the old form was incorrect, in view of the fact that it has the approval of all dictionaries now in use," said Commissioner Cooley. "There was only one thing to do in the matter, and that was to notify prospective applicants that in making ratings on spelling we would treat the phonetic and the non-phonetic alike." Inquire at 3983 Paplin street, concerning two rooms for rent, fronting on the street, where one may be all to himself for $7.50. On August 17, there will be three rooms for rent, for $9.50. REV. J.

Mr. Vashon's 18 years' experience in the tax and license division of the comptroller's office in the recorder of deeds, licenses and other municipal departments and in realty circles, together with his extended and thorough classical and legal training, eminently fit him to successfully conduct such a business as he has entered upon.

They adjust accounts; conduct correspondence with precision; revise manuscripts; manipulate business schemes successfully, and make safe investments for their patrons. Though barely established, this firm has already contracted for three years' notarial service for the Usona Supply Co., and has been so retained by other concerns of equal commercial magnitude. They solicit the patronage of all, and guarantee perfect service. Geo. B. Vashon & Co. are at rooms 26 and 27, 503 South Fourteenth street. Communications to this address and to 2243 Oregon avenue will receive prompt attention. WE WILL PUT THEM WHERE THEY BELONG. Next week we intend to open a column in the Palladium for Pullman car porters, one for janitors, and one for men who make men and women believe they are "some pumpkins." E when they are only bootblacks, janitors, porters or Pullman car porters. The best thing in life is to be honest in your dealings with women. Don't tell them that you are what you are not. NOTICE! One of the strangest things in life is the short-sighted Negro in business. They think that as soon as a Negro sets up a business of any kind, that all Negroes should stop trading where they formerly traded, and flock to them. This is a mistake, men and women who go into business should not expect this, but go into business with the determination to build up a trade. We are American citizens and on that plea we should have and keep our white friends, as well as our Negro friends. In many places where Nego men and women are doing business they charge more for their goods than the whites; then if you don't pay it, they say you have no race pride. Now is the time that becomes broad-minded and we should be considerate in all things. CANDIDATES OF THE ST. LOUIS MULE, OR OUR NEW SOCIETY. J. H. Maze, 1309 Merch street, 80c.

Here is comfort for the self-respecting American, says the London Times: "Americans may dismiss the idea, if they ever entertained it, that the people of this country regard them all as in the same boat with the beef trust, the Standard Oil company, the dishonest railway managers and the people who control the "yellow dog" funds. There are Pharisees and foolish individuals in all countries. We have some among us, and as they are generally very ready to talk they probably do some mischief. But the mass of the people understand very well that the mass of the American people are very like themselves; and that in America, as here and elsewhere, society is held together by the "saving remnant" of which our correspondent speaks—the quiet, inarticulate people who believe in probity and honor, and who try to do their duty and to fulfill their obligations honestly." The announcement is made that the sultan of Turkey has modified the restrictions heretofore operative in Palestine and that Jews may now inhabit the country and enjoy the protection of the laws. This, it is believed, will result in large migrations of Hebrews to the Holy Land, and it is thought the influx will be especially great from Russia, because of the persecutions from which the Jews seek to escape. It may be the prelude to such an occupation of the ancient home of the Hebrews by modern members of the family as has not been known before. There is a convict in Paris who says that he wants to be guillotined because nobody has been guillotined in Paris for ten years. If it were not for the appearance of the unselfish man now and then many old customs would die out. An Asbury Park, N. J., preacher refuses to permit the women members of his choir to wear peek-a-boo walts. He evidently wishes to attract some of the attention himself. A London music teacher says American girls have the sweetest voices in the world. We may add that they have the richest fathers, too. Paupers are growing scarcer and automobiles are increasing in number in America. As Joe Cannon said, the country is a blank of a success. Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Female Troubles. U. B.
