Club gave their last outdoor picnic at 6200 N. Broadway. The night was very cool. It they had a crowd and a very pleasant time was had. We notice many persons that attracted attention. Mrs. Nora Warrington of 2111 Chestnut street was out looking as noble and as usual bedecked with her diamonds and jewels. She was the center of attraction Mr. Sammy Mack was general superintendent and kept things down to the level. Mrs. Harry Dennon was thee looking like a school girl in her teens. We wondered why her mother would allow her out so late at night, but Harry was there to look after her every want. Mrs. Alexander of 1625 S. Second street was attending to the ice cream department. The music was grand and they were on the go from the time they started till 2 o'clock a.m. This being the last outdoor outing, many are waiting for the 2nd of October, when Joe Gans will be present to crown the queen of the ball. Harry Denny, Sammy Mack and Nora Warrington have got smiles all over their faces in anticipation of the Veiled Prophet ball, October 2nd, at the Abyssinia Hall. 18 S. Tenth street. Fail to be on hand. Death of Miss Martha Stratton of Chicago, JU Mrs. Stratton and her daughter's family lived in St. Louis until seven years ago, they then went to Chicago and made their permanent home. Martha, her daughter, was indeed a most wonderful woman at all times made it pleasant for her mother and all that she came in contact with. When we heard of her death, we could hardly believe it, yet such was too true. She was formerly a member of St. Paul Chapel, but joined the A. M. E. church in Chicago. Many will miss the kind, true-hearted Martha, as she made all friends that had any dealing with her. But none will miss her more than her mother. We trust that she is now with her maker, basking in the sunlight of God. She was buried last Sunday from St. Paul's Chapel, Twenty-eighth and Lawton avenue, with a vast concourse of people at the funeral. Thus one by one we part in the great beyond. Here let us ask the question, "What arrangement are you making for your final end? or where will you spend your eternity? Will your lot be cast with the Christ in Heaven, or with the damned in hell? You must answer this question this side of the grave. Read Carefully the Advertisements in this paper. Stop that cough. Go and get Pickett's Cough Drop. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22. 1006.

The character and quality of its graduates is perhaps the best test of a school's growth and development, and with this as the standard, Lincoln Institute in the hands of President B. F. Allen, enjoys rank as one of the leading institutions of the country. Every year this school reaches a higher, better and larger class of students. Every year its own standard of excellence along all educational Drugg EXACT FACTS OF THE B. Y. P. U. St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 17, 1906. To the Editor of the St. Louis Palladium. I desire to state the exact facts concerning the occurrence of the B. Y. P. U. of the First Bastist church on Sunday evening, Sept. 9, 1906; On Sunday evening the president of the union, A. W. Washington, had been instructed to close the union at 7:30 in order that the members of said organization could be in church at the beginning. At 7:10, just 20 minutes before time for adjournment, the secretary, Garfield Cravens, arrived and requested a detail of the proceedings that had passed and also demanded that the meeting be prolonged until 8 p. m., whereupon the president refused to do so, Mr. Cravens desired and said that he would rule and do so without dictation. Hereupon harsh, angry words ensued between the president and secretary. It was then 7:25, I arose and moved that we would stop all discussions and close on time. As there were only five minutes remaining. It was also seconded by Bro. Alexander that we would adjourn. But the president already angered turned to me and said, "You sit down, I don't want to hear anything from you. I am president and will rule my way, you can't tell me anything." I refused, because a motion to adjourn is always in order, especially, in time of a disturbance. The president then threw his hand to his hip pocket and said, "If I had my gun I would make you sit down or give you to the ambulance." Then I said, "You don't have to have your gun if there is any personal feeling between us, let us get off the premises of the church and settle it." Now, Mr. Editor of the Palladium, whatever else may have been said is not true. This is the real facts and I have witnesses to prove it. And now upon these facts that error which appeared in the Palladium must be corrected at once. I am not here to regard man or color but to defend myself as a gentleman of the Negro race. Respectfully, J. E. MILLER. Our Reply In an article which appeared in the Palladium last week about a breaking up of the B. Y. P. U. at the First Baptist church, the Palladium stands pat by the statement. We learn that one Garfield Cravens moved that the meeting continue until 8 o'clock. This motion was seconded by J. E. Miller. This motion was intended to question the preacher's authority, also the officers' of the church. Next week we will give a detailed account of the B. Y. P. U. meeting and paint the two parties in their true colors and settle this matter so every member of the B. Y. P. U. should get a copy of the Palladium next week. If there is any way that we can get their cuts we will have them in the paper next week. J. W. WHEELER, Editor. WANTED—Two apprentice girls to learn sewing. 3216 Lawton avenue. Call at once.

Our people have not as yet ar- rived to that point where they carefully ‘appreciate a paper published by Negro ‘men and women. _ We see German, Irizh, 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 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 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- p:nse news and information.

BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER. (Copyright. 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles.) Women and men are not natural enemies, they are not set over against one another in opposing camps. On the contrary, their inter- ests meet and mingle, and such a thing as conflict and antagonism based on the score of sex is supremely ab- surd. Yet we constantly hear the assertion made that women should not enter certain professional vocations, lest their presence should crowd out men who have secured the right of way, and by tradition and training are es- tablished in their callings. The same objection has been urged times with- out number against women in busi- ness, the feeling being that there is an unfairness to men in the ease and fa- cility with which women slip into po- sitions hitherto filled by their fathers and brothers. As everybody knows, there are lines of work peculiarly adapted to wom- an’s quick wit, quick sympathy and mental culture. Very few men choose teaching as a profession. ‘Thousands of women turn to the education of the young as their proper sphere. Our Dublic schools enlist an army of splen- didly endowed and fully equipped young women who fulfill every require- ment from the high school to the kind. ergarten, throughout all grades includ- ing not only the most difficult and ab- struse scientific ard intellectual stud- ies, but as well the domestic and man- ual training that are now insisted upon as necessary, Here and there one finds a man or two engaged in special work and the superintendent and principals are usu- aily men, but this is not because wom- en have crowded men out, but _be- cause men have never monopolized this avenue. They have not sought nor cared for it. Very unfairly, when. ever they do enter this particular fleld, they ask and receive larger sal- aries than women for precisely the same work, Where a woman thank- fully accepts from $800 to $1,200 a year for her services as principal of a school, a man doing perhaps less work receives from $1,500 to $1,800 as an annual salary. It might perhaps be thought, and it may be partially true, that the possibility of getting good work for less money here acts as a factor in the employment of woman rather than of men, but the truth {s that the average man prefers to put his talents to almost any other use than that of teaching. He 1s not suficiently patient, sufficiently unsel- to like this day by day task of guid- fish, and sufficiently fond of children {ng the next generation in the way it should go. There is no reason to re- gret the numerical superiority of women as leaders in the schoolroom. Sr ee toa ieee noe Women certainly have not percepta- bly crowded men in the professions of law and medicine, and a woman in the pulpit is a novelty and so exceptional that she is usually explained or ac- counted for by some special pleading. Thus far, the woman lawyer has not appeared as counsel for great corpora- tions, nor does she reap the magnifi- cent harvest of gold and fame accru- Ing to the successful lawyer ‘of the other sex. Admitted to the bar in many states, she generally confines her practice within narrow limits and often finds her peculiar work in a sort of ethical and humanitarian lance- breaking for the poor and oppressed who are defrauded of their rights. ‘The woman lawyer has not as yet been taken so seriously anywhere that she ts a competitor to be feared or reck- oned with by brother lawsers, ‘As for the woman doctor, it remains to be seen what the next 20 years may show in her case. She is at present a favorite in 1any towns and in large cities she is consulted on equal terms by medical men and has an increasing vogue as a specialist in diseases of women and children. Her returns when she is successful are large, and in hospital work particularly among women and children, she has widening opportunities. There is, however, this reservation, many people declare that they would never trust a woman to perform a surgical operation on them- selves or on anyone dear to them. In the field of foreign missions, the wom- an doctor daily performs surgical op- erations of the utmost difficulty and ‘delicacy and in large percentage Ler treatment is successful. Oriental customs do not suffer wom- en to be treated by men, and there- fore this woman doctor in the far east has the field to herself. Here at home, while she is more and more trusted, yet there is no immediate danger that she will crowd the men out. We may continue to send our sons to medical colleges, quite sure that when they have served the long preliminary ap. prenticeship exacted by the state they will not find women debarring them from treating any number of well-paying patients. The fact is that even when most successful, the wom- an doctor in America is only picking up the crumbs that fall from the man doctor’s table. She has the entree to the woman's wards of insane asylums and to the post as physician in wom an’s colleges, in babies’ hospitals, and so on. But she does not crowd men out, nor, to do her justice, has she the faintest wish to do so. . rare facta tees Cre Of course, there are indoor occupa- tions which are the province of wom ‘an, and at certain counters of the de- partment stores they are found to be ‘in their element. But they are never ‘at the counters where large bales of ‘goods are lifted and handled, they do ‘not sell cloth and silk, nor serve in the departments of rugs, carpets and floor coverings, - One would expect women to crowd men out in book stores, because books are delightful to handle and women are the largest number of readers and possibly of buyers in this line Yet one seldom finds women employed to an alarming extent in book shops. Almost always men serve in the ca. pacity of clerks behind book counters. ‘The exception is only in department stores. On the whole, since women are not likely to become appreciable antagon- ists in the occupations that demand original inyestigation, executive abil- ity and great physical strength, it does not seem that there is any reason to dread their entrance in the business world. They bring to it a finer con- science, an element of integrity and a moral atmosphere that are worth much to those whom they meet. In the last analysis, the world fs better because women contribute to it some- thing in its larger scope and interest of what they have always given to the home. The modern world is com- plex. We shall never return to the old simplicities. We need a great deal more money than we once did. We cannot get on in these days of quick travel and swift communication with the old slow method of the stage coach and the sailing vessel. The work to be done is multiplied a thousandfold and everybody must take a hand. The situation resolves itself into one of convenience. If each fits into the right place, in the right temper, there will be no irritation and no excuse for a lazy man to complain that an industrious woman has crowd- ed him out. Brains and conscience willl solve our problems. MODEL FOR DRESSY WAIST. Made of Soft Silk and Trimmed With Dainty Lace Ruffles. Soft silk is used for this pretty waist.

A NERVOUS WRECK Mrs. Green Gained 26 Pounds and Recovered Her Health by Taking ‘Dr. Williams’. Pink Pills. General debility is a term that covers a multitude of cases where there is no acute disease, yet the patient continues to lose strength and the doctor’s :medi- cines have no apparent effect. ‘This is the decline that leads to death if means are not found to check it. In a great majority of cases Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills will check it and restore health and strength because they actually make new blood and so send renewed vitality to every organ. and fissue of the body. Mrs. 8. A. Green, whose address is Box 29, R. F, D. No. 4, Franklin, Ga., says: ‘For ‘three and a half years i suffered with weakness and nervous- ness, complicated with stomach trouble. ‘At times 1 was confined to my bed for periods ranging from three weeks to two months and was under the physician’s care most of the time for three years. I do not know the cause of my trouble but ‘Iwas prostrated with wealmess and, al- though I took a great deal of medicine, nothing seemed togivemestrength. At times my stomach hurt me something fearful and my head often troubled me. Twas sleepless and what sleep I did got did not refresh me. “When I began taking Dr. Williams? Pink Pills, I weighed but 104 pounds. I knew I was so bad that a few doses would not cure me and I had patience. Soon the pills began to give mestrength, my blood got in better condition, I could sleep well atnightand help some with the housework. Now I weigh 130 poundsand think nothing of walking half a mile, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have done won- ders for me and the neighbors all kuow this statement is trae.”” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent by mail, post- paid, on receiptof price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Med- icine Co., Schenectady, N.Y.

Habits of Wild Bees. ‘There are about five thousand spe- cies of the wild bees, all with interest- ing ways of their own. Among them is a species whose females are verit- able amazons, and carry more and better weapons than the males. There are the “cukoo” bees, who deposit their eggs in the nests of others, the progeny of both living peaceably to- gether until maturity, when they sep- arate. Then there is the tailoring bee, which cuts leaves with her scissors- like jaws, and fits a snug lining of the leaf material into her cave-shaped nest. FINDS VIRTUE IN OLD CLOTHES. Men’s Garments Shaped to the Figure by Age Catch Artist’s Eye. To the eye of the artist the gar ments of the modern man are only tolerable when age has adapted them somewhat to the lines of the figure; to the average artist a new sult of clothes is an abomination, “It is not only that new clothes are more ugly than old,” said a knight of the palette who discussed the ques- tion; “to my mind no one can be prop: erly easy or graceful in them, “I never feel that I properly know a man until I have met him wearing an old suit. Certainly no man can possi. bly be his natural self in evening dress. “I have noticed again and again how different the same people. are when wearing different clothes. 1 went, for instance, to a large family gathering some time ago, and fo1 some reason everybody had donned full evening dress. What a differ. ence it made! We were all on terms of intimate friendship, but somehow the clothes brought in an element of coldness and formality. We all felt it—even the women, although, of course, the fair sex are not easily per suaded of the merits of well-worn gar ments. But no man who has discov: ered the ease and comfort of them will readily give them up. As for the artistic side of modern clothes, it only comes when they have mellowed by use!" WELL. PEOPLE TOO. Wise Doctor Gives Postum to Gon valescents. A wise doctor tries to give nature its best chance by saving the little strength of the already exhausted pa tiont, and building up wasted energy with simple but powerful nourish ment. “Five years ago,” writes a doctor, “I commenced to use Postum in my own family instead of coffee. I was so well pleased with the results that I had two grocers place it in stock, guaranteeing its sale. “J then commenced to recommend it to my patients in place of coffee, as a nutritious beverage. The conse- quence is, every store in town is now selling it, as it has become a house- hold necessity in many homes. “(m sure I preseribe Postum as often as any one remedy in the Ma. teria Medica—in almost every case of indigestion and nervousness I treat, and with the best results. “When I once introduce {t into a family, it is quite sure to remain. I shall continue to use it and prescribe it in families where I practice. “In convalescence from pneumonia, typhoid fever and other cases, I give it as a liquid, easily absorbed diet. You may use my letter as a reference any way you see fit.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read “The Road to Wellville” in pkgs. “There's @ reason.” AWFUL PSORIASIS 36 YEARS. Terrible Scaly Humor in Patches Al Over the Body—Skin Cracked and Bleeding—Cured by Cuticura. “I was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty-five years. . It was in patches all over my body. I used three cakes of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Oint- ment and two bottles of Resolvent. In thirty days I was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made its appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the center a spot about the size of a silver dollar.of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry-seale of a white silvery appearance and would gradually drop, off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and I'mbs, although it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too long without remov- ing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. I suffered in- tense itching, worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable. W. M.

Prof. Edwin Ray Lancaster, prest- @ent of the British association, was busy in his study one morning recent- ly when a couatry woman sought an interview with him. Laying a parcel cn his desk she said, triumphantly: “There’s two of ‘em.” “Two of what?” said the prefessor. “Two 'awk’s eggs. I 'ear they are worth £1,000 pounds apiece.” The distinguished scientist undid the parcel carefully, looked at the eggs and said with a smile. “These are not auk’s eggs. Those that are so valuable are the eggs of the auk —auk.” “Oh, hauk,” said the wom- an. “Wait till I get ’old of my son, ‘Enery.

FORAKER. Morris Brown College. Atlanta, Ga. Sept. 18, 1906. Mr. J. J. Wheeler, Editor Palladium. Dear Sir:—I enclose money order for payment of my subscription from May 1, 1906 to May 1, 1907. When I do not pay up, send me a notice. I will not be offended. Everybody ought to pay their honest debts. Would to God there more such men. Rev. J. S. Flipper is president of the Morris Brown college. Some people get behind and if we send their account they will get their back up. We like to come in contact with big-hearted men like Rev. Flipper. He knows that we can't publish a paper on wind or because you occu up some high position. WE FORGET. So many tender words and true We meant to say, dear love, to you; So many things we meant to do, but we forgot. The busy days were full of care, The long night fell, and, unaware, You passed beyond love's leading prayer. While we forget. Now evermore through heart and brain, There breathes an undertone of pain; Though what has been should be again; We would forget. We feel, we know, that there must be Beyond the veil of mystery Some place where love can clearly ome place where love can clearly see And not forget. —Evangeline K. Robinson. Kirkwood, Mo. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The employment bureau department of the association is quite alive and there is no greater need in the rank and file of the association than that of men who can efficiently do house and yard work, portering in drug stores and hotels, all of which pay good wages to good men or boys. The best people are applying to the Colored Y. M. C. A. for the best help. If you are of that number you should go to your place through the Y. M. C. A. For work of any kind, for any one, male or female, see Thompson the general secretary at 2712 Lawton avenue, at 8 a. M. Some places pay as high as $30 per month, room and board. The Bible class of last Sabbath was quite interesting and profitable. Subject "Ask." Rev. E. L. Christie of East St. Louis and editor of that very splendid paper known as "The Sentinel," gave a very interesting lecture to the young men, every inch of which was highly appreciated by all present. On next Sabbath Rev. Dr. John W. Day, pastor of the church of the Messiah, of St. Louis, will lecture to us on the subject "The use of the Bible." All are invited to be present to listen to the Doctor at 5 p. m. It will be remembered that the last Tuesday in the month is ladies night at the Y. M. C. A., consequently the public is invited to be present on Tuesday night, Sept. 25th at 8, at which time everything will be pleasant and plentiful. PETTICOAT LOGAN OF COLUMBIA, MO. We are informed that this little grafter has begun his work for the year on the U. B. F. and S. M. T. We learn that he is mad. That matters not. The Palladium is the official organ of the order, and when we get through with him he will never collect any more money in Columbia under false pretenses. Watch our Petticoat Logan, so styled editor of a 2x4 sheet called the Professional World. WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE AMERICAN EAGLE? What disposition will the editor make of a few god men and women who have paid him for a year? Where is the American eagle. Answer: Gone where the woodbine twineth. Why does the Palladium continue to come forth every Saturday? It is because the manager is on the lookout, and is not at dancing schools at night. Stop that Cough Pickett's Cough Syrup. RIP SAW COLUMN OF THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM Special to the Palladium. A certain young lady who recently moved from Lawton avenue would better go straight home from school in the evening and stop going down to the Grand Leader and riding up and down in a young dude's elevator. This young lady's mother doesn't allow this dude at the house. Now, she is compelled to meet him on the corners or at her friend's house, or go down where he is working. We read this in a restaurant: "No men allowed in the kitchen." This should have been placed there long ago with the addition—"This means you." And of course should be carried out by all. The waitresses also should not give her orders to the cook so loudly and the cook should not answer back so that every one in the restaurant could hear. When school closed last year, a school girl could be hanging to a lamp post and the dudes and rounders would not look upon her. Now they are getting a little bolder. We call upon Cooper and Logan to keep things clean and these Negro men and boys that have nothing to do but stand on the corners and watch school girls. Put them on the rock pile. Lawton avenue has about four or five girls in the 26 and 27 blocks who want to appear as if they were some pumpkins. Better stay at home nights and quit keeping company with the Dirty Dozen and meeting porters on Market street, and have them come up to the house when mother is not in. Two of our up to date school teachers came into a cafe last Saturday night at a late hour, dressed in white to perfection, (their faces whitened as well.) Sext time there will be a sensation. Watch out, late hours are not good for superior ladies and especially public school teachers. When girls go with persons with whom they are forbidden to associate with, they ought to take up their beds and walk. The railroad porter and rounders are to be watched. That is, some of them. We are now thinking about the steamboat excursion. The dudes who formerly disgraced Lawton avenue are now working down in the city? How came they? Why, Logan told them to get to work or he would put them on the rocks. It looks bad for school girls to be hobbling around places that are questionable at night, and they are four miles from home. Motaers should look a leetle out The lady in the 5100 block on Lindell block, had better keep off Jefferson and Morgan, as you will cause trouble. Your husband is on to you. A certain woman on Morgan street had better stay at home, as things are much muddled on your account. The fashion now is to go with your friend's fellow. That saves you from getting one of your own. Mr. J. H. Kent, the barber, has moved his barber shop from 11 North 14th street, to 1417 Market. A splendid location for a first-class barber shop. Mr. Kent is always doing something to improve the business of the Negro of St. Louis, and that is the way to do it, by establishing new business enterprises among our people. A Barber Wanted For a Colored Shop and one for a White Shop. Salary for Colored Barber $12 to $15 per week. It pays Address Nicholson, Miss., for further information.

HON. THOS. NEIDRINGHAUS. We notice that several of Aunt Hager's children are working at the office. The central committee is getting busy and from all indications the party will be successful on the 6th of November next. Mr. Jeff Covington and J. D. Russell. This makes us satisfied. The two gentlemen are deep-dyed Republicans and are fully competent for the work before them. Let the good work go on. We are informed that a meeting will be held at Cape Girardeau, Mo. We anticipate great things in Southeast Missouri. Prof. Cabbe, principal in the public schools, is a power in the Cape. Congressman R. Bartholdt at the Tenth district, Congressman Henry Coudy of the Twelfth district, or Congressman Henry Scaufield 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. At Stolle's hall, Thirteenth and Biddle streets, Monday, Oct. 15th, the joint entertainment of all the lodges and temples in St. Louis, will be out in full blast. See bills. This entertainment calls forth every member of the order to come to the front and do their duty, in this every member has the same interest. Ask a master or Princess. See their ad next week in the Palladium. At the state headquarters things are looking very busy-like. We understand from the chairman, Hon. Thomas K. Neldringhaus, that things are in a better state of organization than they were two years ago. If that is the case, then the Republican vote should be in this state 357,000 next November. We look to the state committee and we know that our expectation will be crowned with a grand success this on November. Louis. To the Republican Voters of the 14th ward. You will soon be called upon to select a central committeeman from this ward to represent you in the city central committee. It will be well for every voter to understand who the central committeeman is. In the first place he should be a man who thoroughly understands the wants of the ward. We have in this ward 500 voters or more. And these men are republicans by birth, and by nature and, one to represent us should thoroughly understand our wants. Not only that but one we have known for many years. The late lamented Abraham Lincoln said, "It is bad to swap horses while crossing a stream." We are entering upon a life that is of vast importance to the country. So much so that our fearless chief of the nation, Theodore Roosevelt has outlined the policy and says to the republican party to give us a republican congress. You, the voters of the 14th ward, have had the leadership of Mr. L. S. Krammer for a number of years. He has always been fair and honorable to the Negro voters of this ward. He comes before you not as a stranger, nor as one who has just popped p, in the last few years, but one that has been with us for many years. We therefore ask that the republicans of this ward go to your voting precinct and cast your vote for a man that has been friendly to the republicans in this ward, and a man that is able to render to us some service outside of politics. We have known Mr. Krammer for many years in and out of politics, and he has been the same big-hearted, true republican in every place. We have known Mr. Krammer to aid those of our race that really were in need. Now is the time to show your appreciation of this big-hearted man. THE PROGRESSIVE STEAM LAUNDRY. The Progressive Steam Laundry has a move on foot to enlarge their plant which will enable them to almost double their present daily capacity. This show the success of this Negro enterprise and shows the loyalty in which our people as a race are awakening to the fact that the Negro must "hoe his own way" or else. With the success the laundr" is making now it will only be a matter of time before we will have a steam laundry large enough to compete with any one in the city, and we hope to see the time come when every Negro man and woman will go a little out of their way to help this Negro enterprise. As their work is now up to the standard. This being the only laundry in the city where a Negro has the opportunity of learning or working. Several of our young ladies have learned to operate the shirt machine and we have turned out two expert shirt finishers, especially Mr. Gibson, who with the experience he now has, is capable of handling a plant of this kind any where. We hope to see the time come when this enterprise will give employment to hundreds of young men and women—which does not seem far. They have had several distinguished visitors from all parts of the country who were surprised to see an enterprise of this kind in operation and owned by people of our color. NOTICE.

THE CHRISTIAN WORLD MESSAGE FROM MISSIONARIES. Workers in China Send Out an Appeal to Mission Societies. The following letter has recently been sent to the members of the foreign mission boards and societies in all Christian lands, and is signed by 22 missionaries of various boards with missionaries in Shanghai: "Students are the most influential class in China, and heretofore they have been also the most conservative. There is no better index of the change which has come over the empire than the recent remarkable exodus of the 8.620 Chinese students to Japan. Probably there has not been in the history of the world any such migration of students from one country to another in an equally brief period. These students are from all parts of the empire, and belong to the educated and official classes. They are bound in the future to influence mightily every missionary interest throughout China. "The students are living in Tokyo amidst dangerous conditions, tending both toward extreme radicalism and great immorality. The good influences which might come from Japan are practically shut off from them, because the Chinese students have but little Japanese or English, while the Japanese do not speak Chinese. "There are in Japan a number of revolutionary Chinese politicians who are filling the minds of the students with fanatical anti-Christian and anti-foreign ideas. The students are, therefore, in danger of becoming a real menace to China, and are a serious hindrance to the missionary enterprise. "The general committee of the Young Men's Christian Associations of China, Korea, and Hong-Kong, has determined" upon making an effort in their behalf. The Shanghai Missionary Association appointed a committee to call the attention of the boards of missions throughout the world to this great need, and to ask their hearty cooperation with the Young Men's Christian Associations in this enterprise. The recent cooperation of the missionaries with the Japanese troops in Manchuria affords a valuable example as to the results of such cooperation. Contributions may be sent to the honorary treasurer, Rev. A. J. Walker, Shanghai; or to the national committee of the Young Men's Christian Associations of England and America. TO PROBE MISSIONS. Syndicate of Daily Newspapers Sends Out Representative. The big business of bringing the kingdom closer to the world is evoking various forms of present-day Christian activity. The latest of these is a first-hand study of foreign mission work, all around the world, in behalf of a syndicate of daily newspapers in the United States and Canada, by Mr. William T. Ellis, one of the editors of the Philadelphia Press. Mr. Ellis goes as a trained investigator, with the avowed purpose of telling, in popular form, exactly what he finds. Just what foreign missions are doing or failing to do, how they work and in what conditions, and the sort of men and women who represent the American churches abroad, will be reported with the utmost frankness by Mr. Ellis. His tour, which began at San Francisco, June 13, will include Hawaii, Japan, Korea, China, Philippines, Ceylon, Burma, India, Egypt, Persia, Syria, and the Holy Land, Turkey and Europe. Nine months will be consumed in the journey. Mr. Ellis is not sent by any missionary body, but goes independently on a strictly journalistic mission. Whatever of a religious nature is likely to interest the American public comes properly within the field of his survey. The various missionary boards and international religious organizations have expressed a cordial interest in this project, and a desire to cooperate with it. Church Union in England. Union of an organic nature among the three smaller of the Methodist denominations in England—the United Methodist Free Churches, the Methodist New Connexion, and the Bible Christian Methodists, of which the first is more than twice the size of either of the other two—is about to be consummated, says the Record of Christian Work. All together they number more than 160,000 members, with over 700 ministers, and nearly 2,500 chapels. The three bodies, which, when the union is legally completed by act of parliament, will be no longer three, but one, will be known as the Union Methodist church. It is hoped by many that this may prove the first step to the organic union of all those British Christians who call John Wesley their ecclesiastical father. For the Babies. Rev. Robert J. Burdette, of the Temple church, Los Angeles, Cal., declares that he does not believe in treating babies in Baptist homes as if they were little pagans until they are 10 or 12 years old. He accordingly holds "name services," as he calls them, in which the child is conserved to God's service, a brief portion of Scripture being read, a charge to the parents delivered, and a prayer of consecration offered. We live in the age of machinery. The thinking, directing mind becomes daily of more account, while mere brawn falls correspondingly in value from day to day. That eccentric philosopher, Elbert Hubbard, says in one of his essays, "where a machine will do better work than the human hand, we prefer to let the machine do the work." It has been but a few years since the cotton gin, the "spinning Jenny" and the power loom displaced the hand picker, the spinning wheel and the hand loom; since the reaper and binder, the rake and tedder, the mowing machine took the place of the old cradle, scythe, pitchfork and hand rake; since the friction match superseded the flint and tinder; since the modern paint factory replaced the slab and muller, the paint pot and paddle. In every case where machinery has been introduced to replace hand labor, the laborers have resisted the change; and as the weavers, the sempstresses and the farm laborers protested against new-fangled looms, sewing machines and agricultural implements, so in recent times compositors have protested against type-setting machines, glass blowers against bottle blowing machines, and painters against ready mixed paints. And as in the case of these short-sighted classes of an earlier day, so with their imitators of to-day, the protest will be in vain. It is a protest against civilization, against the common weal, against their own welfare. The history of all mechanical improvements shows that workmen are the first to be benefited by them. The invention of the sewing machine, instead of throwing thousands of women out of employment, increased the demand to such an extent that thousands of women have been employed, at better wages, for shorter hours and easier work where hundreds before worked in laborious misery to eke out a pitiful existence. It was so with spinning and weaving machinery, with agricultural implements—in fact, it is so with every notable improvement. The multiplication of books in the last decade is a direct result of the invention of linotype machinery and fast presses. The mixed paint industry, in which carefully designed paints for house painting are prepared on a large scale by special machinery, is another improvement of the same type. The cheapness and general excellence of these products has so stimulated the consumption of paint that the demand for the services of painters has correspondingly multiplied. Before the advent of these goods a well-painted house was noticeable from its rarity, whereas to-day an ill-painted house is conspicuous. Nevertheless, the painters, as a rule, following the example set by the weavers, the sempstresses and the farm laborers of old, almost to a man, oppose the improvement. It is a real improvement, however, and simply because of that fact the sale of such products has increased until during the present year it will fall not far short of 90,000,000 or 100,000,000 gallons. Hindsight is always better than foresight, and most of us who deplore the short-sightedness of our ancestors would do well to see that we do not in turn furnish "terrible examples" to our posterity. Cure for Whooping Cough. Irwin, Pa.—The "mine cure" for whooping cough among small children is attracting attention in this section, where the disease is almost epidemic. In one case a Jeannette father daily takes his ten-months-old baby girl down into the Penn mine. He remains half an hour, comes to the surface for the same space of time, and again goes down and remains another half hour. This will be repeated daily for two weeks. The child has a severe case, and from a fit of coughing goes into spasms. A Pittsburgh physician recommended the "mine cure" as the only profitable relief. From Clyde Fitch's Scrapbook Clyde Fitch, at a dinner that he gave in honor of a noted dramatic critic, read from his library of scrapbooks a western criticism on Hamlet. The criticism, which was dated 1873, ran: "There is too much chinning in this piece. The author is behind the times, and seems to forget that what we want nowadays is hair raising situations and detectives. "In the hands of a skillful playwright a detective would have been put upon the track of Hamlet's uncle, and the old man would have been hunted down in a manner that would have lifted the audience out of their cowhides. "The moral of the piece is not good. The scene where Hamlet sasses his mother is a bad example to the rising generation. "Our advice to the author is more action, more love-making, and plenty of specialties. The crazy girl scene should be cut out altogether and a rattling good song and dance substituted."

The children are very pre- forgive, and ye shall to Jesus. Giving them, you would have them do to you. Jesus helps us to pray as we should. God blesses the humble. We have the good excuse for refusing God's love. The Lord will receive who return to him. We all need mercy. Those who trust Jesus should try to be like him. Jesus came to save the lost. We should love and honor Jesus. We should be true to God again. TOPIC.—The Power of Jesus' Words. TRUTH.—Jesus' Word has great power. Facts of the Lesson. The period included in this quarter's lessons extends from the summer of A. D. 29 to April, A. D. 30. About three-quarters of a year. The last part of the Galilean and the whole of the Perean ministries. About one-fourth of the public ministry of Jesus. The territory includes Galilee, Perea, and Jerusalem and vicinity. The Gospel history (Matt. 18:1, 22:33; Luke 9:46, 20:40; Mark 9:14, 12:27; John 7:1, 12:19). The Travel club should follow the travels of Jesus during these nine months, and note the events that cluster around each place, the things that Jesus did there, and any other events which made the place historic. Trace the journeys on the map, and take up the story of each place. We give one example. We start from Capernaum: Jesus' home (Matt. 4:13-17); nobleman's son (John 4:43-54); many miracles (Matt. 8:14-17); home of Matthew (Matt. 9:9); paralytic, etc. (Matt. 9:2-8); received little children and talked on forgiveness (Lessons I. and II). Thence in the autumn, Jesus went to Jerusalem to the Feast of Tabernacles. Here he spoke several discourses and healed a blind man (John 8:12-59). Returning to Galllee, he made his final departure thence early in November (Matt. 19:1), crossed the Jordan and moved slowly down the eastern side of the river through Perea. Somewhere in the upper portion he spoke the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Lesson III.), and taught his disciples how to pray. In December he makes a flying visit to Jerusalem to attend the Feast of Dedication (John 10:22-39), and is a guest of Mary and Martha at Bethany (Luke 10:38-42). (December 20-27). Jesus returns to Perea early in January (John 10:40-42), dines with a Pharisee (Lesson V.). relates the Parables of the Great Supper (Lesson VI), of the Prodigial Son (Lesson VII), and others. He is summoned to Bethany on account of the death of Lazarus (John 11), retires to Ephraim in northern Judea (John 11:47-57), and soon goes again to Perea. Here he relates the Parables of the importune widow, and of the Pharisee and Publican (Lesson VIII.), meets the rich young ruler (Lesson IX.), heals Bartimaeus, and dines with Zacchaeus at Jericho (Lesson X.). From Jericho he goes to Bethany, and thence rides in triumph over the Mount of Olives (Lesson XI.), cleanses the temple, and enters upon the last Great Day of his mission in the Temple Courts (Lesson XII.). Study the development of Christ's mission, and the bearing of the great truths taught upon his work of saving each individual and the nation. 1. Welcoming and blessing the children. 2. The duty and power of forgiveness. 3. The Good Samaritan. 4. Prayer and its answer, importunate prayer, false prayer. 5. The right use of the Sabbath. 6. Self-exalation. 7. False excuses. 10. Light to the blind. 13. The last great day of his ministry. Review Questions. Teachings.—To whose words have we listened in these lessons? 16. What characteristic of Jesus' words nave we noted? Golden Text. 17. In what respects should Jesus' disciples be childlike? 18. How often will the Christian forgive those who injure him? 19. Who, according to the teaching of Jesus, is the neighbor whom we should love? What assurance does Jesus give that God will answer our prayers? 20. What precept did Jesus teach when he saw men striving for highest places? Golden Text Las CASTORIA PILES: NO MONEY TILL CURED. SERD FOR FREE LEEES. TREATMENT ON BACKPACK. DRS.

Natural Color of Pure Water. It was long ago discovered that the natural color of pure water is blue, and not white, as most of us usually supposed. Opinions have not agreed on the cause of the green and yellow tints; these, it has been discovered by W. Spring, are due to extraneous substances. Dissolved calcium salts, though apparently giving a green tint, due to a fine invisible suspension, have no effect on the color of the water when adequate precautions are taken. The brown or yellow color due to iron salts is not seen when calcium is present. The green tint is often due to a condition of equilibrium between the color effect of the iron salts and the precipitating action of the calcium salts.—Scientific American.

How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong? We hear every day the same story over and over again. "I do not feel well; I am so tired all the time!" Miss Kate McDonald More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and no doubt you feel far from well. The cause may be easily traced to some derangement of the female organs which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, bearing-down pains, flatulency, nervousness, sleeplessness, or other female weakness. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The never-failing remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Miss Kate McDonald of Woodbridge, N, J., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "Restored health has meant so much to me that I cannot help from telling 'bout it for the sake of other suffering women." "For a long time I suffered untold agony with a female trouble and irregularities, which made me a physical wreck, and no one thought I would recover, b. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has entirely cured her, strength, and it is hard to tell to other suffering women what a splendid medicine it is." For twenty-five years Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, has under her direction, and since her decease, been advising sick women free of charge. Her advice is free and always helpful. Address, Lynn, Mass. ORIA and Children In Use For Over Thirty Years The Kind You Have Always Bought MURRAY STREET, NEW YORK CITY. MARSHALL RIFLE W. L.

Frank Robinson has issued a challenge to all chicken fanciers and is ready to match his team of roosters against all comers. Frank drives his roosters tandem, attached to a home-made wagon, and guides them with reins. They do not wear blues, but the forward ends of the reins are tied about the lower beak... the birds. Progress with this unique team is not rapid, but the astonishing thing about it is that there should be any progress at all. Frank is only two years old, and he can control his unique tandem better than anyone else. THE BLOW GUN. How to Make It So It Will Not Break. I want to tell the boys how they can make a "blow gun," which can be used to shoot small birds with, says a writer in the Elmira Telegram. Get a glass tube about four feet long at any drug store. Wrap it with strips Parts of the Blow-up of cloth as shown in "1." This will act to prevent the tube from breaking. Get a piece of cane, such as fish poles are made from, and enlarge the center with a red hot poker until you can slip the tube inside of it. Now, cut the cane off to the right length and secure tube inside with putty. Your blow gun will now be complete as shown in "2," but you have no bullets. For these you can use either peas, clay, tacks or arrows. An arrow can be made from a pin with the head filed off and some cotton bound on the back end so it will fit tight in the gun, as shown in "3," or you can take a tack (see "4"), and bind worsted around it just below the head and melt some wax on it. Shoemakers' wax rubbed on is best. This will fly straight and is a first-class missile. If a clay pellet is used you can stun small birds, but not otherwise injure them, so that, if they are picked up at once, you can often capture them alive. A MAGIC TOY. Trick Which It Will Puzzle Your Friends to Do. Cut a narrow strip of wood or cardboard about four inches long by threequarters of an inch wide and bore three holes through it, one in the center, the two others on the ends of the strip. Our illustration shows how a piece of string is pulled through the holes and two beads or rings are suspended from it. The holes must be large enough to let the string go Ready for the Trick. through doubled. The trick is to bring the two rings on one loop, without untying the knots. Take the center loop and pull it as long as possible, stick it through the hole on one end of the strip and slip it over the knot of the string. After letting it slip over the bead on this one end, repeat the same movement on the other end. Now, directs the Washington Star, the loop may be pulled through the opening in the center of this strip. Both beads or rings are thus brought together and the loop is arranged again the same as it was before. Ages of Birds. The average ages recorded of some of the best known birds are given in the following: Blackbird lives 12 years; blackcap 15, canary 24, crane 24, crow 100, eagle 100, fowl, common 10, goldfinch 15, geese 50, heron 59, lark 13, linnet 23, nightingale 18, parrot 60, partridge 15, peacock 24, pelican 50, pheasant 45, pigeon 20, raven 100, robin 12, skylark 30, sparrowhawk 40, swan 100, thrush ten, and wren three years. A City Maid. She came up to the country that was black or gray. This city maid who never had seen The fields where wild flowers grow. And when she saw the cat-tails. She crushed "toy, do, look, quick!" Who ever heard of sausages Sucked on a stick!" The training of the roosters to this, to them, unique task took a great deal of time and patience, says the N. Y. World. It may be said that impatience of any sort of restraint is the dominant characteristic of his lordship of the barnyard. Like the pig of tradition and experience, he is always willing and anxious to go in any direction but the right one. However, in this case he has so far given into the will of man that he stood patiently for his picture and then trotted off with every apparent willingness to go where he was wanted to. THE HERD-BOYS RICHES. His Greatest Treasure Was a Contented Heart. German literature contains many beautiful pieces. Here is one: In a flowery dell, a herd-boy kept his sheep; and because his heart was joyous he sang so loudly that the surrounding hills echoed back his song. One morning the king, who was on a hunting expedition, spoke to him and said: "Why are you so happy, dear little one?" "Why shall I not be?" he answered. "Our king is not richer than I." "Indeed!" said the king; "tell me of your great possessions." The lad answered: "The sun in the bright, blue sky shines as brightly upon me as upon the king. The flowers upon the mountain and the grass in the valley grow and bloom to gladden my sight as well as his. I would not take a hundred thousand thalers for my hands; my eyes are of more value than all the precious stones in the world; I have food and clothing, too. Am I not, therefore, as rich as the king?" "You are right," said the king, with a laugh: "but your greatest treasure is a contented heart. Keep it so, and you will always be happy." F. W. Wallace on 20th Mother (to Bobby, who doesn't want to go to bed)—But, dear, remember that the little chickens go to bed early. Bobby—Yes; but the old hen goes with them. The Eagle's Eye. The eye of the eagle and of other birds of prey, is different from the human eye in several respects. We cannot look at the sun without danger of ruining our sight, but the eagle can look at it, not only without danger, but without pain. Nature has provided the bird's eyes with a thin skin, or membrane, inside the lids, which it can draw down at will, thus protecting the eyeball, while not interfering seriously with vision. The eagle has also the power of adjusting the focus of its eyes so that it can see as well as a great distance as it can near the object. It can see its prey as distinctly from the height of a mile above the earth as it can only a few rods away. All this is merely a part of the great scheme of self-protection that nature has arranged for her creatures.—Chicago Daily News. Can You Guess? Which is the most religious state? —(Mass.)

WHAT JOY THEY BRING TO EVERY HOME as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.

Wells of England, the forecast-novel man and sociologist, met an interesting person in Chicago and in a magazine article tells all about the experience. "I made," he says, "the acquaintance of Alderman Kenna, who is better known I found throughout the states as 'Hinky Dink,' saw his two saloons and something of the Chinese quarters about him. He is a compact, upright little man, with iron-gray hair, a clear blue eye and a dry manner. He wore a bowler hat through all our experiences in common and kept his hands in his jacket pockets. He filled me with a ridiculous idea, for which I apologize, that, had it fallen to the lot of J. M. Barrie to miss a university education and keep a saloon in Chicago and organize voters, he would have looked own brother to Mr. Kenna." FADED TO A SHADOW. Worn Down by Five Years of Suffering from Kidney Complaint. Mrs. Remethe Myers, of 180 South Tenth St., Ironton, O., says: 'I have worked hard in my time and have been exposed again and again to changes of weather. It is no wonder my kidneys gave out and I went all to pieces at last. For five years I was worked hard in my time and have been exposed again and again to changes of weather. It is no wonder my kidneys gave out and I went all to pieces at last. For five years I was fading away and finally so weak that for six months I could not get out of the house. I was nervous, restless and sleepless at night, and lame and sore in the morning. Sometimes everything would whirl and blur before me. I bloated so badly I could not wear tight clothing, and had to put on shoes two sizes larger than usual. The urine was disordered and passages were dreadfully frequent. I got help from the first box of Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and by the time I had taken four boxes the pain and bloating was gone. I have been in good health ever since."

The manager of the Palladium has been most severely criticized for the persistence with which he publishes articles, displaying the corruptness of many of our so-called best (?) people. What some of our race desires is the "squashing" of any incident detrimental to its so-called leaders, because of the class to which they belong. The question arises as to the duty of a newspaper. The public gains its knowledge of the world through the columns of its newspapers and it expects truth from them. It is the height of injustice to cater to an individual, because of the class into which he has been fortunate enough to intrude himself. To a race attempting to climb the ladder of public's good opinion, and reach the pinacle of success in being recognized as a race worthy of a chance, the exposure of any person whose morals are not what they ought to be is just as essential as the removal of a rotten apple from a barrel of good ones. We expect more from our enlightened and educated people. We could excuse an immoral act on the part of an ignorant person on the plea of his ignorance. The Palladium is not seeking notoriety through scathing articles, it is simply trying to print the truth without consideration of class or favor. It has been in vogue since 1883, and the manager is too well versed in the laws of journalism to publish an article criticizing any person without proof of its authenticity. He knows whereof he speaks. Next week, the public will hear some more scathing news. Notice! Notice! The Negro voters of the 14th ward are requested to meet at the Wedge house, Twenty-eighth and Manchester avenue, Monday, Sept. 17th, to perfect the organization.

A few Negroes who have been running to Chicago, Ill., the Negro heaven, come back and say to the Palladium man: "I don't want the Palladium any longer, as I do not have time to read it. I will pay you soon and then I will begin to take the paper again." The Palladium man says to himself: "My money is gone, and she had to lie about it." I am always on to such. Capt. C. H. Tandy is the political editor of the Palladium. All contracts made by him will be carried out. There are two men of our city we can support for high sheriff, namely J. H. Pohlman and Isaac M. Mason. Let us stand by those two men for this office. C. H. TANDY. GEO. B. VASHON & CO. Public Amanuenses and General Notaries. 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. Geo. B. Vashon & Co., are prepared to accurately draw deeds, agreements, contracts, wills, petitions; bills of sale and all commercial and legal papers. They adjust accounts; conduct correspondence with precision; revise manuscripts; manipulate business schemes successfully, and make safe investments for their patrons.
