Dr. Griffin, the noted evangelist, preached at 11 a. m. to the pleasure of all who heard him. Dr. Cole baptized at Fifth Baptist church Sunday. A large congregation was present to witness the ordinance. There are several more for baptism. The district B. Y. P. U. held their quarterly institute at Providence church Sunday afternoon, and everybody seemed to enjoy themselves. Dr. Cole spoke in highest terms of the work and plans of the National Baptist convention. The plans for the great National Baptist university was inaugurated at Mempis, and the school will be located at Nashville, Tenn., on the site of the old Roger Williams school, and he said that the Home Mission society of the American Baptist would donate $25,000 towards said school. He also said that the National Baptist Training School for Colored Girls was now a reality, and that school would be planted in Washington city. Dr. Cole is a member of the commission of said school. Our pastor is also a member of the Home Mission Board and the publishing board of the National Baptist convention. He was heard to say that the Negro Publishing house at Nashville was the greatest institution on earth among negroes, excepting Tuskegee in Alabama. There will be preaching at Providence Baptist church every Wednesday day evening and the members and friends ought to join our pastor in his efforts to swell the congregation. We are satisfied that all will be benefited who will attend. The church has been organized into clubs of ten each for the grand rally the fourth Lord's day in October. We hope to raise $300 that day if no preventing providences. The barbecue at our church on the 20th inst. realized a clear profit of $20. The ladies of the Mission Circle deserve the highest praise for their faithful work. We trust that all lodges and temples will send in their places of meeting and officers—where and when—as we want to make a roster in the Paladium that any body can find out where and when you meet.

This club always makes a fine display and the club always has good order and caters to the wants of the public. Following are the officers: President—Mr. J. V. Williams. Secretary—H. Arnold. We congratulate the officers and members of the club, as they did in every particular satisfy the public. The drill corps was out and appeared upon the floor. The drill company of the K. of P. were out, but on account of it being almost impossible for the court to get a sufficient number out, they did not drill. The Olive Leaf drill company of the S. M. T. appeared, with Mrs. Mary Monroe captain, and gave an exhibition of their maneuvers in the drill. They are undoubtedly the most war-like in their appearance of any ladies we have ever seen. With all due respect to any other lady drill company, the palm of victory must still remain in their hands. J. W. Wheeler introduced the company, at the same time paying the Idaho drill company a high compliment for their former victory and hoping that they would in the near future meet the Olive Leaf drill company of the S. M. T. After the drill Mr. J. V. Williams came forth and presented the company with $10, through their captain. At a late hour all passed out of the hall realizing the fact that all had done what they could to make each other happy. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Last Sabbath was a day of many good things at the association. The state secretary, James Banks, will lecture next Sabbath at 5 p. m. Dr. John W. Day spoke very enthusiastically on the subject, "The Use of the Bible." The literary feature of the program on last Tuesday night was well conducted by Mrs. C. H. Anderson. Prof. Lovinggood of Texas made some weighty remarks, which resulted in several joining the association. The music class is also to be organized on next Wednesday evening at 8:30. Miss Alice Dye will instruct. The congress is also well in hand and the assurance is that Mr. J. D. Scholl will make a successful speaker. The Bible class session was full of life. The subject was "How to Pray." The discussion was both hearty and healthy. Next Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock is the time fixed for the business class to be organized, and every business man in the city and especially the young man of aspirations along that line is most heartily invited to be present.

Dr. Venerable reports a pleasant session of the board and much important business transacted. Prof. J. H. Garnett, of Lincoln institute, was elected president of Western college at Macon. Dr. Venerable heard a letter read to the state board from the "faction board" of Berean association, protesting against the meeting of the state convention with "Compton Hill" church, October 16, 1906. The state board, after some deliberation, decided that said board had no power to make a change of the meeting place, as the convention had voted to meet at Compton Hill. SERVICES AT ALL SAINTS.

HARBOR SWEPT OF SHIPS Iron Steamers and Other Vessels High Where the Tide Was Never Known to Reach Pensacola, Fla.—The worst sea storm and hurricane that the gulf coast has experienced since the village of Pensacola, on San Rosa island, was swept away 170 years ago, began Wednesday night, and is still raging. It is reported that many lives between the city and navy yard have been lost, but as many rumors of this character have been current for hours, the report does not obtain credence. It is known, however, that many of the houses in that section are under from five to ten feet of water, and many persons have been taken from second-story windows and carried safely to boats. The estimated property damage is $3,000,000. The water front is strewn with wreckage for miles on either side of the city, and vessels are piled on the wharves, or where the wharves once were, in utter ruin. Big iron steamers, and many lighter sailing ships, are lying high and dry up in the city, where the tide has never before been known to reach. Every wharf for miles around has been swept away, or is damaged beyond repair. The streets of Pensacola are strewn with timbers, tin roofs and broken glass. (This dispatch, with other telegraphic matter, is being carried to Flomaton, Ala., by the Western Union manager, who makes the trip by train, to ascertain the exact extent of damage done elsewhere. It is feared great havoc and loss of life will be shown reports from the entire section along the coast can be gathered.) Was on Pontchartrain with Forty Passengers. New Orleans—No news has been received from the steamer Camelia, which, at the beginning of the hurricane, had crossed Lake Pontchartrain, and was about to land forty passengers at Milneberg, but was forced to run back without making her dock, and to recross the lake. Nearly all the ports where the Camelia might have stopped for shelter have been cut off from communication with New Orleans. Along the Mississippi Coast. New Orucean —All 3forts to penetrate even the edge of the flood caused by the hurricane on the gulf of Mexico coast to the east and south of here have been fruitless From Lake Catherine eastward these towns are Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, Mississippi City, Biloxi, Ocean Springs, Pascagoula and Scranton. These places face the Mississippi sound, across which the wind has a long sweep. Some of them extend up to the very brink of the sound, which is in places not more than six to ten feet above the normal sea level. Many of these banks are moreover of soft earth. Staff correspondents of local newspapers, who left Wednesday afternoon and distributed themselves along the shore of Mississippi sound, in anticipation of the storm, have not been heard from. Not only was rall and telegraphic and telephonic communication cut off with the Mississippi sound towns, but there was no immediate prospects of news by boat. No craft of any sort is coming up the Mississippi river. The wireless station at the mouth of the river was abandoned early in the storm, the last report being that there was about eight feet of water over the floor of the operator's room. CREATING HAVOC IN MISSISSIPPI. Steamer Stranded at Vicksburg, and Two Killed at McComb. New Orleans—Reports of the havoc the hurricane is creating in its progress northward through Mississippi were received here this morning. At Vicksburg, the steamer Modoc was blown from its fastenings in the Mississippi, and stranded, and a dry dock was reported to have broken from its moorings. At McComb City the loss of two lives from the blowing down of a frame hotel was reported by Illinois Central passengers arriving in this city. Alabama Cotton Damaged. Montgomery, Ala.-Specials to the Advertiser indicate that the storm which raged through south and middle Alabama Thursday did incalculable injury to the cotton crop. Most of the cotton was still in the field, and this was ruined by rain and water. STENSLAND IN PRISON THE CHICAGO BANK WRECKER SERVING TIME. MADE A FULL CONFESSION Convicted Within Three Hours After His Arrival, and in Another Three Hours a Convict. Chicago—Paul O. Stensland, to whose self-confessed embezzlement of $400,000 was due chiefly the collapse of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, was given an indeterminate sentence in the penitentiary within three hours after his arrival in Chicago from the east, and before another three hours had elapsed the convicted banker had begun service of sentence at Joliet. Stensland pleaded guilty on two indictments—one charging embezzlement, and the other charging violation of the state banking laws. A fine of $120 was imposed on the latter charge, which was based upon the acceptance of $60 in deposits after the bank was insolvent. The sentence imposed, whica will operate concurrently, are from one to five and from one to ten years, making the longest term the prisoner will be compelled to serve not more than ten years. Stensland Told All. The drive to the criminal court building from the station was accomplished without incident. State's Attorney Healy was waiting in his private office for the arrival of Stensland, and the prisoner was hurried, haggard and trembling, into Mr. Healy's presence A conference lasting over an hour ensued between Stensland, Healy, Assistant State's attorneys Olson and Barbour, and several attaches of the office. What Stensland made known to the state's attorney was not divulged. After the conference, Mr. Healy said: "Stensland made a full confession of everything connected with the affairs of the bank. He has told us of his own acts, and of the acts of others. What ne has revealed makes the bank affair less dark for himself." Court Proceedings. The court proceedings which followed immediately were conducted hurriedly. Silence fell over the courtroom as Stensland faced the bar. His form was shaken with emotion, and he kept a handkerchief in his hand, and frequently brushed away the tears that sprang to his eyes. Judge Kersten, before whom the proceedings were conducted, addressed the prisoner, whom he had known for many years as a citizen and business man. He reviewed the case briefly, and asked if Stensland had any defense to offer. Upon receiving a negative reply, the court passed sentence, and without further ceremony Stensland, the deputy sheriffs and the state's attorneys filed out of the court-room. Stensland was unaccompanied by friend or attorney during the entire proceeding. Stensland was joined by his daughter, Mrs. Inga Sandberg, as he left the room-rate, and after having had dinner at a nearby restaurant, they, accompanied by Jailer Whiteman and Deputy Sheriff McMahon, were conveyed to the railroad station, where a train was taken for the penitentiary at Joliet. Before 3 o'clock all the routine necessary to commit the convicted man to a cell had been completed. Mrs. Sandberg, who seemingly was mucu moved by the evident distress of her father, fainted in the warden's reception room at the penitentiary as the last details of the incarceration were being completed. INTO AN OPEN SWITCH. Fast Passenger on Wabash Crashes Into Freight. Danville, Ill —Fast passenger train 8, on the Wabash railroad, crashed through an open switch into a freight train near here Wednesday. Last reports show four dead and one missing. Probably 35 or 40 people were injured, most of them slightly. The cause of the wreck, as given by General Manager Henry Miller, of the Wabash road, was: "Accident caused by the crew of the freight train leaving the switch open." TERRIBLE STORMS IN SPAIN. Twenty-Five Dead Bodies Carried Into a Church. Madrid—There have been very severe storms in the provinces of Alicante, Granada and Murcia, and sections of the country are inundated. Railroads have been washed out, crops lost, and numerous buildings have been destroyed. Twenty-five bodies have already been brought to the church in the village of Santa Meva. Orders to Naval Officers. Washington—Col. Littletown W. T. Waller, of the marine corps, who is to direct the movement of all marines in Cuba, has been ordered to proceed at once from Norfolk to Havana. Naval officers on leave in all parts of the United States have had their leaves revoked, and scores of orders made necessary to officer the ships which are to go to Cuba have been issued. Commander G. R. Clark, who is on leave, was ordered to the command of the battleship Texas, which has been in reserve at Norfolk. LEXINGTON, KY. Trains Leave Union Station 10:00 A. M. 10:10 P. M.

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

One of the most encouraging things of the year in India has been the inception of a new missionary movement in the native church. A study of the unoccupied fields of India for the Missionary Review, by Mr. G. S. Eddy, revealed the fact that there are over 100,000,000 of people, or one-third the population of India, who are beyond the utmost reach of the gospel in this generation, allowing for the largest possible increase of all existing missionary agencies. In praying about this need Mr. Eddy came to believe that the burden of India's evangelization should be placed upon the Indian Christians themselves. Accordingly, after consultation with representative Indian Christians and leading missionaries all over India, and months of thought and prayer, he decided to go forward. Indian delegates, representing each province and portion of India, Burma, and Ceylon, met on December 25, 1905, in Carey's historic library at Serampore to organize this movement. Uniting as it does the Christians of all churches and of all provinces into one great society for the evangelization of India and adjacent lands, this organization marks a new era in the history of India and of Protestant missions. Two hundred years after Ziegenbalg came to India as the first Protestant missionary, and 100 years after Samuel Mills at the "Haystack Prayer Meeting" began the great missionary movement in America, and 100 years after the saintly Henry Martyn landed in India, the Christians of India united in the first national native Christian missionary movement ever organized in India or within the history of Protestant missions. The constitution of the new society was adopted in the old pagoda where Henry Martyn worked and prayed for the evangelization of this land. Founding no new denomination, but preserving the strongest loyalty to the churches; soliciting no funds outside of India, but laying the burden for India's evangelization upon her own sons, we believe the society is organized on a sound and safe basis. The movement is to be governed by a council of some 60 Indian Christians representing each province and each of the larger missions in India; and by executive committee with a quorum at Madras. An advisory board of experienced missionaries has been appointed, who may be called upon for advice regarding the affairs of the society. The aim of the movement is to open new missions in unoccupied fields in India, which could not otherwise hear the gospel, and to lay upon the Christians of India themselves the burden of responsibility for the evangelization of their own country. The movement is pledged to loyalty to the churches, and will be interdenominational like the Y. M. C. A. and the China Inland Mission, men of the same church working together, and their converts being members of their own denomination. PROTESTANTISM IN CUBA. Shows a Steady Growth—Is on a Permanent Basis. Ninety-five per cent. of the Cubans do not habitually attend any church, says Bishop Warren A. Chandler, of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, writing of the "Present Religious Conditions in Cuba," in The Independent. Of the remainder who go to church the bishop is inclined to believe that their sympathies are more nearly with the Protestants than with the Roman Catholics. But Protestantism, upon a general and permanent basis, is of so recent establishment, dating practically from the year 1899, that "there are not enough places of worship on the island to meet the demands of the situation." Says the writer: "When the Protestant missionaries began their labors, they found the island a land filled with religious indifference in which there was a considerable amount of downright and outspoken infidelity of the Voltaire type. The Roman Catholic church, by reason of its social connection with the Spanish government, and from other causes, had lost its hold upon the Cuban people, and no other form of Christianity had been embraced by them." Union of Missions in Mid-China. Union of Missions in Mid-China. The Mid-China mission of the Southern Presbyterian church recently held its spring session, at which it was voted to unite with the other Presbyterian missions of central China, nine in number, to form one church. When begun, these missions were so wide apart as not to bring them into competition with one another; but as they have expanded, their fields first approached, then touched, and finally overlapped. It has accordingly been devised wise to unite them in one native, self-governing body. In a very short time what has been done in Japan, Mexico, Brazil, and southern India will be repeated in Korea, the various provinces of China, and finally upon every mission field.-Interior. Will Stop Profanity. The mayor of St. Croix, WIs., says that he is going to put a stop to proxity within the limits of the corporation. NEWS FROM MISSOURI. ```markdown ``` A Pure Gold Watch. James Moore, the Linn county pioneer and president of the Moore bank, has probably the most valuable watch in Brookfield, says the Argus. It was left him in 1868 by his brother John, who mined the gold in California, took it east and had cases for a common sized watch made therefrom. All the alloy was taken from the gold, leaving the cases 28 fine gold. The inside cases are also of solid gold, as is the base of the works. The watch weighs just one-half pound although it is about an average size hunting case watch. It also has a first class Waltham movement. The cases have about $250 of pure gold in them and the works are valued at $100 more. Mr. Moore carries his yellow watch in an old buckskin case that his wife made him a present of in 1872. Rode with a Dead Negro. Dr. S. P. Stowers, of this county, drove down the main street of Columbia with the dead body of "Doodlum" Baker sitting upright beside him in the buggy. People along the street noted the deathly expression of the negro's face. Baker, who is only 25 years old, has been sick, and Dr. Stowers was taking him to the hospital there. About two miles from town the doctor said something to the negro, and receiving no response, turned and looked at him, and saw that he was dead. The negro's left hand had been grasping the side of the buggy near the top, and it remained in that position till an undertaking establishment was reached. A. Peculiar Accident. D. M. Veatch, traveling salesman for an oil and supply company of St. Louis, and living in Springfield, met with a peculiar mishap. Retiring early he fell asleep with his arm over his head, holding one of the rods of the bedstead. He awakened about 4 a. m. with the arm and side numb, and they were still in that condition at last accounts. One of the nerves was strained. Contract for Municipal Plant Let. The contract for erecting Clinton's new municipal electric light plant has been awarded by the city council. The cost of the plant will be approximately $30,000 and it will be owned and operated by the city. The contract for the erection of the new municipal water works plant will be awarded as soon as the council can advertise for bids. The estimated cost of the plant is $70,000. Assistant Pastor Named. Rev. Frank Neff, a well known young minister of Clinton, has been appointed assistant pastor of the Independence Avenue M. E. church of Kansas City, and will relieve Dr. Matt S. Hughes, pastor of the church, of some of the detail work of his pastorate. Mr. Neff has resigned his Clinton charge and will take up his work there in a short time. Plenty of Gas for Rich Hill. George B. Stough, a gas prospector, has brought in a third gas well in the Rich Hill gas field. The last well is stronger than either of its predecessors, and it is said it will supply the town of Rich Hill with the necessary gas for all purposes. Mr. Stough was granted a franchise by the town about 60 days ago for furnishing it with natural gas. Marshall Woman Dead at 93 Marshall Woman Dead at 93. Miss Sallie Guthrie, 93 years old, died recently at Marshall. Miss Guthrie was the oldest citizen of Saline county. She was a sister of the late Rev. Oliver Guthrie, one of the first Cumberland Presbyterian preachers in this part of the country. Miss Guthrie was one of the first members of that church in this state. Fortunes in Missouri Lands. Portraits in mississippi Lands. Here is what a man did on 24 acres of land in Holt county this year. He sowed it in wheat and it yielded 51 bushels and 40 pounds to the acre, or 1,240 bushels. He delivered the wheat to the Brownfield elevator at 63 cents per bushel. This makes a total of $782.20, or $22.30 per acre. Windstorm Uproots Trees. One of the hardest windstorms that has visited that city in many years occurred at Chillicothe recently. Numerous large plate glasses were blown out of buildings, trees uprooted and much other damage done. The wind was accompanied by hall and rain. The water stood in the streets to a depth of six inches. Labor Meeting in Moberly. The fifteenth annual convention of the State Federation of Labor was held in Moberly recently. Thomas J. Sheridan, of Joplin, president of the federation, presided. One hundred and ten delegates were present. Killed a Horse Race Judge. While acting as judge of a country horse race 15 miles northwest of Trenton, James Rhea, a farmer, was killed. One of the horses bolted the track as he neared the place where the judges were standing and ran over Rhea, who lived only 20 minutes. An Afflicted Couple. A Sarcoxie couple have lost ten children since August, 1903. Seven died in 1904 and two this year. Three of the children died in one month. The list is without local precedent. LARGE CANCER IN HER BREAST 10 CALIFORNIA Mrs. D. V. Gregory, wealthy, prominent lady nee娘 who was thought to be dying with cancer, has been cured of a very large cancer of her breast, side and armpit, with only two weeks' treatment, with that most wonderful island plant remedy used by Dr. and Mrs. Chamlee & Co. of 191 and 193 North Twelfth street, St. Louis, Mo. This same doctor cured Mrs. Henderson and a Mrs. Smith of this place, just thirty years ago, and recently cured Capt. G. W. Suesberry, of such wonderful fame in the civil war; Mrs. C. Bortz, Mrs.萨莫 Mueller, Mrs. John W. Miller and ted for cancer. He is the doctor who cured our Capt. John Mason, the first man to carry the news of the assassination of Father Abraham Lincoln to our injury received that memorable night. All the leading papers and scientific journals have been full of reports of their almost miraculous death without knife or pain, charge nothing until cured, and offer $1,000 if they ever fail to cure any cancer they treat before it has poisoned deep in the body, without knife or pain, page book of testimonials and symptoms ever printed on cancers; sent free to those who describe their case. It contains proof that ANY MICR M.D.WOMAN'S book is MICRER also that man, lump or on the lip, face on anywhere six months is cancer. Dr. Mrs. is declared by his patients to be one of the most honest and conscientious authority in America on the cure of cancers, having cured more in thirty-four years than any other doctor living. English Intensity: The Englishman loves nothing so much as practical activity. It is this trait which has raised him to such an important position in politics and industry, and which has given birth to English sport. Not this alone, however, but the fact that the Englishman does nothing half-heartedly or on a small scale, but entirely, intensely, with his whole heart.—Frankfurters Zeitung. The Perfect Ear. The perfect ear should be about twice as long as it is broad. It should be delicate and pink, and should touch the head with the back of the upper point. Outstanding ears are hopelessly disfiguring. A woman who is afflicted with this kind of a beauty ill should dress her hair in a way that will partly hide her ears. And His Hair Was Thin. An English authority on athletics gives it as his judgment that men should not engage in the game of football after they have reached the age of thirty years. When a man is thirty years old he is supposed to have arrived at the age of reason. Los Angeles Times. Plgs. Shoats and Hogs. When does a pig become a hog? Some authorities say when it is big enough to hold its own with the hogs at the trough. That sounds very well, but it is not right. Prof. Jay D. Lentz, of Concord, says a pig does not become a hog but a shoat, and the shoat becomes a bog. Much Money Sent to Italy. A single bank in Naples receives half a million dollars a year sent out of the United States by temporary Italian residents. The same bank has received from Italians in Argentina and Brazil $28,000 and $425,000, respectively, in one year. Uncle Eben. "A person dat has mo' money dan he knows what to do with," said Uncle Eben, "'pears to be a good deal like a man wif de dyspepsia in house full o' ple." "Presumption" of Death. An English court has just allowed the heirs of a young man who went down with a ship in a storm in the Indian ocean in 1857 to "presume" that he is dead. Marriage Gets Another Frosting. And now even the frosting of the wedding cake is said to harbor germs. Thus one more is added to the list of obstacles on the road to marriage. African Mountain Sinking. Jebel Naiba, a mountain near Bona in Algiers, is gradually sinking. Around its base a huge depression grows steadily deeper. Dispositions Unchanging. Believe if thou wilt that mountains change their places, but believe not that men change their dispositions. Mohammed. Higher Than Mount Everest. Mount Everest is 29,002 feet high, but lately it is believed that two peaks behind Everest are actually higher than it, which hitherto has been considered the highest mountain in the world. Real Old-Fashioned Umbrella. There has been discovered at Greenock, England, an old-fashioned umbrella with whalebone ribs, which must be quite 120 years old. When opened it affords shelter for a whole family. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY. Entered at the postoffice at St. Louis No. as second-class matter. Published Weekly by J. W.

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 up, 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.

President Myers appeals to the Colored actors of St. Louis to be clean, moral and intelligent in their line of work, and stop being street comedians. He tells them if their work can not bring them more than 50 cents or $1 a day, get something else to do. Don't pened on any one thing.

LOUIS PALLADIUM Young girl living in the 2800 block on Lawton is very happy this week. She has met up with many good advantages. Working People—But the End Must Come for What They Get her on Lawton and this girl should cease pany with the "Dir will not feel it, but in a peculiar position tain extent, she is cu A girl living in the Walnut street certain to work or something off of Market street certain cafe, from b drinks. You can 4 hours on the street mother ought to put or in some place to We have seen hi and from all appear be dead in it. Aard mer proprietor of a Come for What They Get. Some time ago we heard a remark: "Oh, mamma, other people work you and you must learn to work other people; leave them to me, I will work them to a finish." This has been done and the parties will feel it, as the fellow that heard this has ceased to be worked. A certain young lady on returning from Chicago entered the dining car, seated herself and said: "He paid for my coffee, I want it." The porter said: "You will have to go to the club car," and after she had gone to the club car another porter—like the first one—did not know who she was, and after telling who she was, he wanted to excuse himself for speaking so fast, and in answering the porter, she laughed and said: "Oh, yes, I know you thought I was white." The two brother Masons; also two brothers of the A. K. and D. of A., who caused a scene in the 2600 block on North Leffingwell avenue, ought to meet and make this matter up, as the truth of the scene will be made public. Now, a hint to the wise is sufficient. Both of them are subscribers of the Palladium, but right is right and you cannot hide from the Palladium man because you are a subscriber. Last week the Rlp Saw raised the devil and Tom Walker, over 20 persons centered on the girl and the boy in the elevator, and yet this same dude slipped last Sunday to talk to who shipped the family to the THE WOMAN WHO WAS THE LADY OF THE WORLD Creelsboro, Ky., Sept. 23, 1906. Editor St. Louis Palladium: Mrs. Katie Boswell, of 4222A Maffitt avenue, St. Louis, Mo., one of the successful missionaries, delivered a grand lecture at this place on the above date. It was one of the finest missionary lectures ever given here, every word to the point and in place, and the earnest plea for help for the her on Lawton and Jefferson avenue. This girl should cease keeping company with the "Dirty Dozen." They will not feel it, but it places the girl in a peculiar position and to a certain extent, she is cut short. A girl living in the 2000 block on Walnut street certainly needs to go to work or something else to keep her off of Market street, away from a certain cafe, from bumming men for drinks. You can see her at all hours on the street. This girl's mother ought to put her in school or in some place to learn something. We have seen him several times and from all appearance he seems to be dead in it. Aaron Jones, the former proprietor of a pattern sheet published in St. Louis several years ago. This young man can be seen on Sundays with a lady just spreading it on. He takes for his line Jefferson avenue to Lawton, then up Lawton. Oh, you ought to see him, and her, too. Since school has opened the young girls are always in a conversation about the dudes. They seem to miss the girls, too, since school opened, but are afraid to come down on Market street to meet them for fear our skillful detectives will catch them. I noticed today while walking up Market street a common coon was stopped and questioned, but instead of going along about his business, he stopped to exchange words, and was smacked and locked up. Those kind of coons need to be put on the rock pile. I notice the young gentleman who is proprietor of the barber shop on Jefferson avenue spends much of his time with a young married woman, whose husband is out of town. I hope he will catch on to them both and make it hot for them. They attend the rink quite often and other places of enjoyment. She can be seen at any time with this man and at all hours. He will never make a headway, for all his profit goes on this married woman. The married ladies are now thought more of than the young girls, but never mind, girls, your time will come some day. A heathen was readily and heartily responded to. There was a goodly crowd present, even though a rainy, murky day, both white and Colored people coming for miles. Mrs. Boswell was once a resident of this place, and the people extend her a hearty welcome, and hope to have her visit them again in the great cause she is advocating. Respectfully, MINNIE CLAYTON.

Session: Adults, 25c, Children, 15c. Asst. Sec. Mrs. Nellie Lewis, Treas 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. M. J. Mulvaney, a Pittsburg iron moulder, now residing at Vandergrift, has after experimenting 20 years, discovered a process for the tempering of pure copper. A man was being tried on the charge of selling impure whisky. The whisky was offered in evidence. Jury retired to try the evidence. Judge (presently)—"What is the verdict?" Foreman of the Thirsty Jury—"Your Honor, we want more evidence." Political PETER H. HON. THOS. NEIDRINGHAUS. We will keep the state of Missouri in the Republican column. Let us all work to that end. There are many good white Democrats, but I have never seen a good Negro Democrat. The Negro does not have to vote the Democratic ticket now to conduct a saloon. He has been freed from that. A Negro who can say that he is a Democrat from principle is the devil's own doll baby, and the biggest cheat on earth. A Negro who will vote the Democratic ticket should be driven from her presence by his wife, because he is not honest. The trouble in Atlanta, Ga., ought to drive every weak-kneed and so-called Negro Democrat to their home, the Republican party. In this election let the Negro forget everything but the success of the Republican ticket in the coming election, Nov. 6, 1906. We hope after the 5th of October the different factions of the Republican party will come together and work for the good of the G. O. P. The worst Negro in the world is the one who is always telling the other man that he is out of politics. That is a renegade who formerly was a Democrat. Many white Democrats vote the Democratic ticket because their fathers were Democrats. But I have never seen a Negro whose father was a Democrat. When a Negro attempts to vote a Democratic ticket let him think of Atlanta, Ga. It is reported that all so-called Negro Democrats are coming home. Where is their home? Answer—The Republican party. When Negroes call themselves Democrats they ought to indorse what they do. What do they do? Why, murder, burn and mob Negro men and rape defenseless Negro women, simply because they are black or they are one of Aunt Hager's family. Attorney William Fish is a candidate for judge of the court of criminal correction, subject to the republican primaries. We cheerfully recommend William Fish to the republicans of St. Louis as a true and tried republican. 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.

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 see And not forget. —Evangeline K. Robinson. Kirkwood, Mo.

We wish them well, and may their paths be strewn with the good things of this world, and at last be blessed in the world to come. 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.

Ch or “Chile” ‘There have been many arguments during the last few weeks ac to whether the name of the earthquake- smitten country should be spelled Chili or Chile . Chile is the Spanish and Chilean form. Tee name is com- monly explained as an old Peruvian word for snow, the allusion being to the Andes; but “Chili” has also been identified as a native South American word, “chiri,” meaning cold—which would make it really the “chilly” coun- try. As to the meaning of “Ondes,” there is plenty of choice. The word has been variously interpreted as sig- nifying the haunt of the tapir, the re- gion of copper, the home of the Anti tribe and the site of the “Ondenes.” Spanish, gardens on the mountain ter races.

Bowles.) The woman’s exchange was original- ly a happy thought, and is now a fact happily accomplished in all our larger towns and cities. There is no village that might not with propriety have a woman's exchange if wgmen, married and single, found it convenient to or- ganize and carry one on with, of course, a cooperative basis. The exchange needs only a pleasant room located on a business street or near a business center, Here may be brought for sale articles of beauty, costly wearing apparel with which the owners would like to part for a con- sideration, and various domestic prod- ucts. If there is a woman in the com- munity who has a special gift for deli- cate cookery, she may save her neigh- bors trouble and add something regu- larly to her own exchequer by selling her cakes or pastry, her home-made loaves, her pickles and preserves at the woman's exchange. Sometimes a woman's exchange es- tablishes a reputation for a particular dainty, and people send from far and near to obtain it for their parties or social teas. It is desirable that or- ders should be definitely taken for perishable goods or else there will be loss either to the consignee or to the exchange. ‘Women who wish to consign articles of value to an exchange, must plainly state the amount they are worth and the lowest selling price the owners are willing to accept. They will probably be asked to pay a small entrance fee and a commission will be exacted on the sale of the articles. A. pathetic imterest sometimes attaches to the beautiful objects seen at a woman's exchange. Here is a lace flounce, evi dently an heirloom. Looking at its filmy tissues, priceless in the eyes of any woman who loves real lace, and observing that it will be sold at a sac- rifice, one reads between the lines the lack of ready money, the story of waning fortunes, the decay of an old family, in brief, the mutations of for- tune that in due time come to those who have long been prosperous. Few houses there are that do not sooner or later feel a chill breath from the biting winds of adversity. This length of lave adorned the gown of a fair lady who danced at a ball with Marquis de LaFayette. It has been worn by other women of the household, at gay assemblies and bright weddings since that proud day, and now it is to pass into the hands of strangers and its price will procure comforts for an in- valid or pay the tuition of a struggling student. Near the lace is an exquisite shawl of creamy crepe, wonderfully embroid- ered and deeply fringed. Half a cen- tury ago it crossed the water and was the gift of a traveler to his sweet- heart. She wore it for years with the sort of pride that women take in ral- ment that cannot be bought in every shop, To-day you may have it, or I, if we have the price in our pocketbooks. A fan, an ivory carving, a picture, what is there not here that tells its story to those who pause, reflect and sympathize? There is not a woman’s exchange in the land that does not hint at times of altered fortunes borne with noble self-respect and of womanly devotion, not reluctant to give its best if it may add some brightness to the shadowed | lot of a loved one. More cheerful are the suggestions that we find in the table scarfs, doilles, coverlets and tea-cloths embroidered with a skill and grace that rivals painting. Linen is the twin of lace in the affection of the feminine breast. The woman who does not prize ex- quisite linen {s so exceptional that she seems to have an odd twist in her mental outfit. There is a wide scope for decoration in linen for the table not only, but for the drawing-room and the bed-chamber, and often the single opportunity for its sale is in an exchange. The department stores cannot often furnish specimens so unique and designs so artistic as are shown by the lady who presides at the exchange. A board of managers with president, secretary and treasurer, are eseential to the conduct of an exchange. Often it adds to its other sales a luncheon and tea room where simple meals are furnished to shopping people, the pe- euliar inducement to them being that they may refresh themselves in a quiet place with well-served and well-cooked food. A few viands should form the bill of fare, they should be the best of thelr kind, and the tea, coffee or chocolate should be beyond renroach and offered in dainty individual sets at small tables. A lunch room of this kind, if properly administered, is a source of profit except in small su- burban villages where homes are within easy reach and no one wishes to take a meal at a restaurant. ‘The attendants in a woman's ex- change must be courteous, accommo- dating and sensible. They do not de- cide questions of price, nor do they pass upon the quality and quantity of goods received. This latter duty falls upon the board of managers or a se- lected sub-committee. The attendants have precisely the obligation of the clerk in an ordinary store; they stand between the customer and the mer- ‘chant, the merchant in this instance being the consignee. If they are good saleswomen they will often be the means of causing much satisfaction to both parties. The bookkeeping at a woman's ex- change must be accurate and exact and the utmost care must be taken to keep a detailed account of every transaction. Returns to consignees should be ex- tremely prompt. If articles after a suitable interval are found to be unsal- able the consignees have no cause for complaint, if their property is re- turned in good order. Anyone wishing to address a wom- an’s exchange may do so by the sim- ple method of sending a letter by mail directed to the president of the wom- an's exchange, appending city and state. The postmaster will forward such letters to the proper place. All that is necessary is to be assured that the town in question possesses an ex: changes. TORTOISE SHELL THE BEST. Style of Comb That Can Be Worn by Everyone. Let only the goiden-haired or black- haired girl risk the gold and ivory combs, and the silver one is for the brunette alone. No shade of hair was ever born or invented which could not wear tortoise shell. Its tints and lights are universally becoming. These combs are all expensive, for a) ¥ \ i j iV) only the genuine materials or the best imitations are worth buying. The handsomest ones are jeweled, which brings them to a fabulous price. In selecting any comb, be careful to choose one with long teeth curved so that the comb feels firm in the hair. It is both dangerous to the comb and embarrassing to the wearer to have it fall. If you aro within reach of any Chinese importer, he is the best one to furnish you an ivory comb. The Chinese have been quick to learn our desires, and they have adapted their handiwork accordingly. Some of their shops display combs carved in exquis- ite designs. Many of these are set with stones. Two smart examples of the up-to-date coiffure orpaments are shown. The one on top is of shell in amber in Spanish style, the other pos- sesses distinct beauty of its own, and is quite the newest fancy. Barta: Mebhdon: Mints Lingerie robes promise to be better than ever during the coming season, only they are to be far more elabor. ate than ever, representing a fabulous amount of work. Yokes are conspictous upon the loveliest of blouses—yokes definitely cut or the lines of a yoke connived at by the way the trimming is disposed. ‘The empire scarf of colored gauze is in high favor and lends the note of color to an otherwise single-toned gown that la Parisienne’s eye for dra matic effects requires. Remarkable Fancy Work. Some rather remarkable fancy work was recently exhibited in London, the work of a woman living in Cape Town, South Africa. Several screens and some exquisite panels were decozated with flowers and figures made entirely of fish scales. The ecales were thread- ed on silver wire and dyed. just the right tints, and the results were quite wonderful in both color and general effect.

It was writ teh at Corinth, the place’ in the history being Acts 20:1-5. “A¢cording to Ramsay and McGiffert it was written at Antioch, just before the second missionary jour- hey, A.

V. 15. “Bite and devour.” Terms de- rived from the habits of wild animals, which snap and bite when momentar- ily angered, or again devour with a determined purpose to injure one an- other. Under influence of evil pas- sions, men treat one another in ways which closely resemble these. V. 16. “Walk in the Spirit.” Live as the Spirit directs. Instead of tell- ing us to work hard to overcome that within us which prompts such self- seeking and envy and hatred, the apostle has something better to ad: vise—namely, that we let the Spirit of | God have the right of way in our hearts and lives. “Shall not fulfill.” The strongest negative possible. “The lusts of the flesh.” You will not yield to those evil impulses of the lower na- ture, becziise you will not want to. “Lust,” meaning simply desire, is used here in the sense of evil passion. V. 17. “The flesh *. . . against the Spirit, the Spirit . . . against the flesh.” The lower nature, and the higher nature with its Ally, the Holy Spirit, are at strife as to which shall rule, ‘This is inevitable, slace they aro “contrary the one to the other.” ‘The lower nature draws us downward to ward the level of the brutes that per- Ish, urging us to give attention to what we shall eat, drink, wear, and how we shall get on in material things, while the Spirit seeks continually to fix our hearts and thoughts on enduring and heavenly things. “Ye cannot do the things ye would.” Cannot, unless you let the Spirit rule and teach you to love and follow thozo things which are right. (Contrast Rom. 7:18-24 with Rom. 8.) A half-hearted Christian is about the most miserable person on earth; he cannot enjoy doing evil, and has not practiced right-doing sufficient- ly to enjoy that. V. 18. “If led by the Spirit.” If you follow the guidance of the divine Help- er, “Not under the law.” You have no need of law, hence never feel its restraints. A person honest and hon- orable at heart, does not feel bound oF restrained by the law. “Thou shalt not steal.” Vs. 19-21. “Works of the fiesh.” The results of obeying its evil impulses. “Are manifest.” Though sin may first be in secret, full soon it shows itself in the outward acts. The Apostle enumerates 17 forms of sin by which evil manifests itself. These have been grouped as four sins of sensuality, three sins of false religion, eight sins against our fellow-men, two sins of in- temperance. “All of those 17 abomina- tions on the black list are the logical results of the saloon and the drink habit.” V. 22. “The fruit of the Spirit.” The fruit which the Holy Spirit produces in the life of one who yields wholly to his inspiration and guidance. V. 23. “Temperance,” or “self-con- trol.” Refers to the control of all the appetites, including abstinence from strong drink, but also self-control in eating, pleasure-seeking and ali other allowable gratifications. As use of al- coholie drink opens the way to every one of the “works of the flesh,” so temperance brightens each fruit of the Spirit, and without it not one of them can retain its luster. “Against such + + + no law.” Because those who cherish these virtues violate no law of God nor righteous laws of men. V. 24. “They that are Christ's.” (See Revised Version rendering.) They who live in union with Christ, who abide in him and he in them. (See John 15:18.) “Have crucified the flesh.” They have become dead to sin, “Affections.” Better, “passions.” The proper desires of the flesh they have learned to keep in subjection. V. 7. “Be not deceived.” Be on guard against self-deception. “God ts not mocked.” God {s not deceived, nor can he alter his wise laws. V. 8. “Soweth to his flesh.” He who leads a life of self-indnigence, seeking only to gratify the desires of the flesh. ‘Reap corruption.” Since this body must return to the dust, whence it came, all that he has lived for will end at death. Moreover, a course of self-indulgence corrupts the moral neture, deadens the soul. “Soweth to the Spirit.” Following the Spirit's guidance, lives for spirit- ual things. “Reap life everlasting.” Having lived and labored for those things which cannot die, he has laid up treasures above.

Anemia is just the doctor’s name for Dloodlessness, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cure anemia as food cures hunger. ‘They cured Mrs. Thomas J. McGann, of 17 Lincoln Place, Plainfield, N. J., who says: “In the spring of 1903 I did my usual house cleaning and soon after- ward I began to have the most terrible headaches. My heart would beat so ir- regularly that it was painful and there came a morning when I could not get up. My doctor said I had anemia and he was surprised that I had continued to live in the condition I was in. I was confined to my bed for nearly two months, the doctor coming every day for the first few weeks, but I did not improve to amount to anything. Al- together I was sick for nearly two years, I was as weak as a rag, had headaches, irregular heart beats, loss of appetite, cramps in the limbs and was unable to get a good night's sleep. My legs and feet were so swollen that I feared they would burst. “Before very long after I tried Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills I felt a change for the better. I have taken about twelvo boxes and although I was as near the grave as could be, I now feel as if I had a new lease of life. Ihave no more headaches, the heart betts regularly, my cheeks are pink and I feel ten years younger. I feel that I have been cured very cheaply and I have recommended the pills to lots of my friends.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all Gruggists, or will be sent by mail on re- ceipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.

Of the male bluebird Thoreau sald: “He carries the sky on his back.” To this John Burroughs added, “and the earth on his breast.” The bird’s back, wings and tail, chin and throat are a vivid blue, while his breast and flanks are a chestnut brown and his abdomen @ dirty white. The female is very much duller in coloring, often having &@ reddish tone that extends from the middle of the back over the shoulder. The Seminole Indians say that the male bluebird once flew so high that his back rubbed against the sky, which imparted to him its own azure tint. Returning to earth, his wife so admired his new coat that she deter- mined to have a like one for herself and the next morning flew away to get it; but the day proving somewhat cloudy, the color given to her dress was not so brilliant as was that re- ceived by her mate.

Women dearly love an excuse for little extravagances, says the New York Globe. Of course, the masculine readers of this column are not expect: ed to indorse this, for, according to the masculine thought, women need no “excuse” for their extravagances— they just have them without rhyme or reason. An up-town woman has a charming excuse for any extra indulgence in her two-year-old blue-eyed son Bob: bie and Bobbie's future wife. In trust for Bobbie is a handsome estate which gives her great concern because she feels that she must save and econo- mize for Bobble, for Bobbie's college education, his European trip, and, “ob, dear!” she always adds, “Bobbie's wife.” Wearying of a continued spell of economy, in a moment of reckless extravagance she'll buy a lot of dear, delightful things, have her fingers manicured, her hair shampooed and take fascinating trips here and there. And then when her conscience will prick she'll say, “Why not? Bobbie's wife will, and he won't care how much it costs.” And Bobbie's wife won't, either. She'll spend joyously end glosioualy, THE WAY OUT. Change of Food Brought Success and Happiness. An ambitious but delicate girl, after failing to go through school on ac- count of nervousness and hysteria, found in Grape-Nuts the only thing that seemed to build her up and fur- nish her the peace of health. “From infancy,” she says, “I have not been strong. Being ambitious to learn at any cost I finally got to the High School, but scon had to aban- don my studies on account of nervous prostration and hysteria. “My food did not agree with me, I grew thin and despondent. I could not enjoy the simplest social affair for 1 suffered constantly from nervous- hess in spite of all sorts of medicines. “This wretched condition continued until I was twenty-five, when I be- came interested in the Jetters of those who had cases like mine and who rae being cured by eating Grape- Nuts. “I had little faith, but procured a box and after the first dish I expe rieneed a peculiar satisfied feeling that I had never gained from any or- dinary food. I slept and rested better that night and in afew days began to grow stronger, “I had a new feeling of peace and Testfuless. In a few weeks, to my Sreat joy, the headaches and nervous ness left me and life became bright and hopeful. I resumed my studie: and later taught ten months with ease —of course using Grape-Nuts every day. It is now four years since I be wan to use Grape-Nuts, I am the mis tress of a happy home and the old Weakness has never returned.” Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek Mich. “There's a reason.” Read the Uttle hook, “The Road to Wellville,” An pkgs. _ ‘A DANGEROUS PRACTICE. Burning Of Paint Makes Insurance Void, —— It seems that considerable danger to Property exists in the practice cf burning off old paint before re-paint- ing. The question has long been a Subject of debate in the technical fournals, and now householders and the newspapers have begun to discuss it. Those of us who, with trembling, have watched the painters blow a fiery blast from their lamps against our houses, and have looked sadly at the size of our painting bill because of the time wasted on this prelimin- ary work, are interested in the in- vestigation by the Greenfield (Mass.) Gazette and Courier, which gives con- siderable space to the reasons for the practice, questions its necessity and suggests ways to prevent the risk of burning down one’s house in order to get the old paint off. It says: “There is a good deal of discussion ‘among householders as to the ¢esir- ability, in painting houses, of burning off the old paint, a practice that has Srown very common of late in Green- field and elsewhere. Insurance men are strongly opposed to this method. It makes void insurance policies for fires caused fn this manner. Several houses in Greenfield have gotten afire as the result of this method, and in some places houses have burned as a result. “It 1s undoubtedly true that when & house has been painted over and over again there comes to be an ac- cumulation of paint in bunches. If new paint is put on top of these ac- cumulations it is almost sure to blis- ter. To burn it off is the quickest and cheapest and perhaps the surest method of getting rid of this old paint.” ‘The Gazette and Courier quotes cer- tain old patrons to the effect that ac- cumulations of paint are unnecessary. These old-timers lay the blame partly on the painter who fails to brush his paint in well, partly on the custom of painting in damp weather or not allow- ing sufficient time for drying between coats, and partly to the use of adulter- ated paints instead of old-fashioned linseed oil and pure white lead. The paper says: “Many of the old householders say that if care is taken at all these points it is absolytely unnecessary to have paint burned off. They advise that people who have houses painted should buy their own materials, and to have them put on by the day, so as to be sure to get good lead and oil. Of course the burning off of paint greatly Increases the cost of the job.” The trouble householders everywhere have with paint is pretty well summed up by our contemporary, and the causes are about the same everywhere. By far the most frequent cause of the necessity for the dangerous practice ‘of burning old paint is the use of poor material. The oil should be pure lin- seed and the white lead should be real white lead. The latter is more often tampered with than the oil. arthy substances, and pulverized rock and quartz, are frequently used as cheap- eners, to the great detriment of the paint. | Painters rarely adulterate white ‘lead themselves and they very seldom use ready prepared paints—the most frequent causes of paint trouble. But they do often buy adulterated white [lead because the property owner in- ‘sists on a low price and the painter has to economize somewhere. The suggestion is therefore a good one that the property owner investigate the subject a little, find out the name jot some reliable brand of white lead, pand see that the keg is marked with that brand. | ‘The linseed oll 1s more difficult to be sure of, as it is usually sold in | bulk when the quantity 1s small; but reliable makers of linseed oil can be learned on inquiry, and, if your dealer {gs reliable, you will get what you want. Pure white lead and linseed oil are so necessary to good paint that the Uttle trouble necessary to get them jai ice esa ace el Usk > OG COSTLY CLOTHES FOR WOMEN. Enormous Sums of Money Can Be Spent for Finery. “As much as $80 a yard 1s often paid for gold and silver tissue—cloth of gold, as it is called, though it is not really,” said a dressmaker, “cloih of gold at all.

It is now used only in Sumatra, Its cost is quite $200 a yard. “That seems high, doesn’t it? It is nothing, though, beside the cost of lace, A court train of moire antique, decorated with gold thread and pearls, was made in Paris for an American lady last year at a cost of $7,500. “To the empress of Russia not long ago the nobles of the province of Kherson presented an ermine mantle worth $50,000. “There are lace handkerchiefs worth $5,000. Even the thread of which lace 1s made comes ridiculously high. The ‘fine hand-made thread used in the best Brussels lace is spun from fla grown at Rebecq-Rognon, and fetches in good seasons, as much as $2,500 ¢ pound.”—Philadelphia Bulletin.

Messrs. Lucas and Goldfinch left Natrobi on a shooting expedition, and when five miles from the town the Uoness was observed. While the men stood at the edge of the thicket the brute pounced on Mr. Goldfinch and threw him to the ground. It bit him on the thigh be- fore Mr. Lucas lodged a bullet in its neck, Maddened by the wound, the ant- mal turned its attention to Mr. Lucas, whose horse it felled and then pinned the rider to the ground, inflicting lac- erations on his face and biting his right arm. He was saved by Mr. Goldfinch, who, sitting up, rolled the Moness over with a well-aimed shot. ‘The beast was about to spring on its victim again when another dis- caarge trom the same weapon proved fatal. The wounded men were taken back to town, where they received medical aid. WORST FORM OF ECZEMA. Black Spotches All Over Face—Af. fected Parts Now Clear as Ever— Cured by the Cuticura Rem- edies. “About four years ago I was affiict- ed with black splotches all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irri- tation, and which caused me a great deal of annoyance and suffering, to such an extent that I was forced to call In two of the leading physicians of my town. After a thorough exami- nation of the dreaded complaint they announced t to be skin eczema in its worst form. They treated me for the same for the length of one year, but the treatment did me no good. Fin- ally my husband purchased a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and after using the contents of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolyent jn connection with the Cuticura Soap-and Ointment, the breaking out entirely stopped. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone and the affected parts were left as clear as ever. The Cuticura Reme- dies not only cured me of that dread- ful disease, eczema, but other compli- cated troubles as well. Lizzie E.

O'Flynn, of New York city, used to say that priests ought to die poor and he practiced what he preached. Aside from a valuable ll- brary given to the Paulist fathers he has left no discoverable estate—no money in bank, no money in the rec- tory. “He died as poor as the proverb- fal church mouse,” says his assistant, Father Corrigan. “What little insur- ance he carried will barely cover the funeral expenses. He never saved a penny for himself. After keeping the house on his meager salary he gave away all he had.” Starch, like everything else, is be- ing-constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day.

J. Bronghtos Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it 1s usually neces- sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wear- ing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using De- fiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great- er strength than other makes. Unique Election Cry.

Our Advertisers Are All Reliable And You Will Be Benefited By Patronizing Them. THE DUTY OF A NEWSPAPER. The manager of the Palladium has been most severely criticized for the persistence with which he publishes articles, displaying the corruptness of many of our so-called best (?) people. What some of our race desires is the "squashing" of any incident detrimental to its so-called leaders, because of the class to which they belong. The question arises as to the duty of a newspaper. The public gains its knowledge of the world through the columns of its newspapers and it expects truth from them. It is the height of injustice to cater to an individual, because of the class into which he has been fortunate enough to intrude himself. To a race attempting to climb the ladder of public's good opinion, and reach the pinacle of success in being recognized as a race worthy of a chance, the exposure of any person whose morals are not what they ought to be is just as essential as the removal of a rotten apple from a barrel of good ones. We expect more from our enlightened and educated people. We could excuse an immoral act on the part of an ignorant person on the plea of his ignorance. The Palladium is not seeking notoriously 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!

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. A. H. Capt. C. H.
