Is Now SAINT PAUL'S C HARVEST At St. Paul's church, 2600 Lawton avenue, last Sunday, was a Harvest Home sermon. Dr. Cook was at his best. A special sermon was preached, which was very appropriate for the occasion, and everyone seemed to enjoy and appreciate the same. The church was handsomely decorated with almost every fruit that has been placed at the disposal of mankind. St. Paul's is always first in everything that tends for the elevation of man. On this occasion the ushers were all young ladies, which added a new feature to the worship of our God. The ushers were as follows: Misses Helen Armstrong, Aminta Parker, Jesse Lee, Edna Cook, Mamie Dickson, Maudelle Brown and Gussie Turner. During the sermon the choir sang several very appropriate songs for the occasion. This choir stands at the head of all choirs in our city. After the sermon a splendid collection was taken up. Dr. Cook seems to enjoy the respect and love that all who attend St. Paul's church have for him, both saint and sinner. Monday was a day of feasting. Dinner was served from 9 a. m. until 9 p. m. The sisters seemed to be working like bees for the service of the church. At night the choir gave a concert, which was the best we have seen or heard for many years, and there are some we wish to make special mention of: PROGRAM. Piano Solo—Fifth Nocturne.... Piano Solo—Fifth Nocturne ..... Della, Porter Bass Solo—"Asleep in the Deep... ..... Barringer Recitation—"An Old Maid"... ..... Miss Ida Houston Solo—"Garden of Sleep"... ..... Mrs. M. Pruett Violin Solo—"Iterdum"... ..... Prof. J. Harris, Jr. Solo—"My Rose"..... Miss G. Scott THE MORTGAGE OF THE FARM. Father ..... Mr. Houston Mother ..... Mrs. Pruitt Laughter ..... Miss L. Morma Two small children— Eloise Cook and Cecile Houston Larger children.....Choir members The piano solo, and also the vocal solo which the gentleman sang were very good. Miss G. Scott sang very sweetly. She will make her mark, because she has a very sweet voice. But we come to Mrs. Pruett (nee Mosby). Mrs. Pruett is no stranger to the people of St. Louis, and as she develops more into womanhood her voice seems to be filled with the sweetness of an angel. We never have seen a person have such control of their voice in secret songs as the charming Mrs. Pruett. After the secret song she transferred to the song WRIGH "Tit for Tat." This song brought out all the powers that were at her command, with much ease. Yet we know where this power is. For years she has been connected with St. Paul's church, and since her advent into the choir she has been the center of attraction. She knows what the people want to hear; and she has such control of her voice that she knows how to give it to the people. Mrs. Pruett (nee Mosby) needs no eulogy yet. There is many a flower that grows, blooms and dies in the forest that is as sweet as one that grew up in a cultivated garden, that no man has ever seen; so if you want to hear the sweet singer of Israel, go to St. Paul's chapel and hear this most wonderful lady sing. The last piece played was "The Mortgage of the Farm." Here again Mrs. Pruett displayed her versatility. She changed into an old lady, with the quiver of the voice. Her acting was done in every particular. The husband, Mr. Houston, was very good, as were the two children, Eloise Cook and Cecile Houston. Miss Morman really gave a very good production as a daughter. After the close all departed to the lecture parlor to partake of ice cream, but the reporter of the Palladium made for the door, but was caught by a sister and made to cough up before he got out. 1900 This program was given under the auspices of Miss Ella L. Severe, organist, and leader of the famous St. Paul's church choir. Miss Severe has been the organist for St. Paul's chapel for many years, and she at all times has shown that she is mistress of the organ. The famous choir that assists her never fails to meet the ap- ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1906. proval of that vast congregation who worship at that church.

While there we noticed Mrs. Douglass, of 4060 Fairfax avenue. She was enjoying herself. Miss Estelle Hamilton, of 4127 Fairfax avenue, was there, but Lord Overton was out of the city. But—but, I will tell a little and keep some. Charley, you had better "look a leedle out," or she will be—— Miss Daisy Moseley was there, but we failed to see Mrs. C. W. P. I wonder where she was. Mr. Charley Graham was looking like the Duke of Buckingham. Oh, perhaps he was thinking about his summer vacation, which he spent in Michigan. Mrs. Mary Quinton, the oldest and youngest of all women was there. CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH The Central Baptist church, located at Twenty-third and Morgan streets, was organized in October, 1864, in the old engine house at Fourth street and Franklin avenue. It is now going to hold its sixtieth anniversary, commencing Sunday morning, October 14, at which time the Rev. George E. Stevens, pastor, will preach the anniversary sermon. There are now living only two persons who were charter members of the church. They are Rev. William P. Brooks, of Mobly, Mo., and Sister Martha Ferguson, of this city, both of whom it is hoped to have present. In the afternoon of the same day Dr. Henry S. Bradley, pastor of St. John's M. E. church, will deliver an address to the male members of all the various Christian, benevolent and literary organizations of the city, which have been cordially invited to attend. Among other noted personages who are to take part in the exercises of the week are Dr. E. C. Morris, president of the National Baptist convention, the largest Negro organization in the United States, and Miss Boroughs, missionary of the same body. Both are to make addresses during the week of the 14th. There will be something doing every night during the week, and the public is cordially invited to be present each night. Everybody will be made welcome by Pastor Stevens and his members. If you do not see those you wish to be with, ask for them. Pastor Stevens does not want you to be at all bashful, but to make yourself at home. A GORGEOUS OCCASION. The advent of the celebrated African Veiled rophet, Abdul Menelik Ben Hassin, at the solicitation of the Great Western club, last Monday evening, was greeted by the largest gathering of ladies and gentlemen that ever assembled in True Reformers' hall. Almost everyone present was in full dress. The election of the Queen of the East, which had become quite exciting in the past week, resumed in the choice of Miss Sarah Brown, who received 5,816 votes, and was awarded the capital prize of five dollars in gold and a complimentary certificate entitled her to tree admission to any of the functions of the Great Western club during the ensuing year. Miss Willie Porter won the second prize of three dollars and a similar certificate, while the third prize of a complimentary certificate was awarded to Miss Loetta Brown. The committee of award consisted of Messrs. Capt. J. H. Kent, George B. Jones and John F. Pope. Their decisions gave entire satisfaction, and the committee was thanked for its services. Great enthusiasm was evoked when, exactly at midnight, the lights were extinguished, and, with a wild clash of oriental music from invisible players, the great prophet made his advent. With the newly-elected queen on his arm, followed by the rest of the ladies and gentlemen present, he made the circuit of the hall several times, and then, amd thunder and lightning, disappeared from sight. The whole performance was spectacular in the extreme. Congratulations were showered upon the members of the Great Western club upon every hand for the recherche character of the reception, everyone agreeing that it was more elevated in tone than anything heretofore given in this community. The next function of the Great Western club will occur on the evening of Thanksgiving day. CITY NEWS.

All Transactions Confidential St Louis Phone: Olive 891 ORDERED 60 COFFINS SUPPOSED TO INDICATE NUMBER DEAD IN POCAHONTAS MINES. FIRST RESCUERS SUFFOGATE Owing to the Great Number Who Escaped, Hard to Determine Number Entombed. Cincinnati, Ohio—A telegram from Bluefield, W. Va., says that an order for 60 coffins has been received there from the Pocahontas mines. This is supposed to indicate the number of dead. The explosion, which probably entombed 100 men, which occurred Wednesday, was felt for miles. The first rescuers who entered the shaft were suffocated by fumes before any victims were found. The Work of Rescue. Pocahontas, Va.—The first rescue party reached the other entrance of the mine in safety and dispatched a messenger over the mountain with tidings of their safe return. The work of bratticing is being carried on effectively to further the ends of exploration. Owing to the fact that the explosion occurred at the time of the changing shifts and a great number of men escaped from the Tug Fork entrance of the mines, the officials cannot determine how many are entombed. It will be several days before the mines will be able to resume work, as the idle miners have joined the hundreds who are anxiously awaiting news of the rescue party. Many of the victims are negroes and Hungarians, but a large number of citizens of Pocahontas were Milled, leaving widows and orphans. A large force of men are at work in the cemetery digging graves for the fortunate victims. S. B. Cook, one of the victims, whose body was found within 300 feet of the outside of the mine, was the only survivor of the big explosion in the Pocahontas mines in 1884. FIVE KILLED IN A COLLISION. Special Carrying Soldiers Runs Into a Passenger Train. Lansingburgh, N. Y.—Five passengers were killed outright and a score injured in a rear-end collision between a regular passenger train and a military special on the Boston & Maine railroad, directly in front of the Lansingburgh depot, about 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon. MRS. WALLACE E. SHAW, Bath, Maine. MRS. STEVENS, Boston, Mass. MRS.J. W. DACEY, Arlington, Mass. MRS. H. S. POOLE, Concord, N. H. Seriously Injured. W. Van Fassett and wife, Boston; burned. Frank Felcher, Medford, Mass., both legs fractured. George D. Stevens, Winchester, Mass., compound fracture of ankle and arm. Mrs. F. L. Block, Peoria, Ill., believed spine fractured. Mrs. Mason, Bath, Me., leg crushed. Without apparently any warning, the special came thundering along with 18 cars, and crashed into the passenger train, smashing the last two cars, which were Pullmans. Soldiers Rescue the Injured. The special was drawing four troops of the Fourteenth United States cavalry from Fort Ethan Allen to Newport News, where they are to embark for Cuba. The soldiers quickly got to work to rescue the injured. Many of the passengers on the regular had left the train when it came to a standstill, and were pacing up and down the track when the crash came. A Bride Among the Dead. One man's grief was pitiful. His name was J. W. Dacey, and he ran up and down the track crying for his wife. In a few minutes her lifeless form was identified. They were married Wednesday night at Arlington, Mass., and were on their honeymoon, having planned an extended trip. The Special's Engineer Locked Up. Engineer Thomas Holleran of the special, who lives in Troy, immediately surrendered to the police. He was locked up, and would make no statement. Was a Peoria Business Man. Peoria, Ill.-Fred L. Block, who met his death in the Lansingburgh wreck, was a member of the firm of Schipper & Block, of this city and Pekin, the largest department store in Illinois outside of Chicago. CRAZY MOTORMAN ON CAR. An Exciting Scene on the Streets of New York. New York—A street car filled with terrified passengers dashed across New York at full speed while the motorman, Leo Schwartz, suddenly bereft of his reason, stood on the forward platform flourishing a heavy controller bar and threatening to brain anyone who approached him. He was finally subdued, and the car was brought to a stop. MEXICAN SUPREME COURT AF- FIRMS DEATH SENTENCE. Chihuahua, Mexico—The Mexican supreme court has handed down a decision affirming the death sentence in the cases of Dr. C. S. Harle, Leslie E. Hurlburt, alias Richardson, and William Mitchell, alias Mason, the New York Life Insurance Co. swindlers. They will be taken from prison, blind-folded, placed in a row with their backs to a wall, and shot. Convicted or Murder. The men were convicted of murdering Harry M. Mitchell and James Devers for their insurance. Richardson and Mason were agents, and Harle the examining physician for the insurance company at Chihuahua. The men were arrested in El Paso, Tex., four years ago, and extradited after a long fight. Two policies, one for $15,000, on the life of Mitchell, and another for $10,000 on the life of Devers, were realized on by the gang before its operations were suspected. It took about a year to make the coup, nearly that much time being allowed to elapse before the deaths occurred conveniently. The Mexican police theory is that the men were poisoned by the conspirators, and this is supported by the confession of one of them. Had a "Consumptive" Scheme. The evidence, however, indicated that the gang had hoped to make its biggest speculation in wholesale insuring of consumptives. Reputable physicians were to be made innocent parties to the robbery through a scheme by which a healthy man was to mask for examination purposes as the insurance applicant. With the policy secured, the fixing of the death certificate so as to disarm suspicion would be easy. Richardson, whose real name is Hulburt, was at one time an attorney in Rochester, N. Y. Mitchell, alias Mason, is his brother-in-law. Mitchell's "Fit-Throwing" Act. After their extradition and while awaiting trial, Mitchell performed one of the greatest "fit-throwing acts" on record. After he had been safely landed in Chihuahua he pretended to go into a state of catalepsy and remained in an apparently unconscious condition for nearly two months. His teeth were so tightly set that he had to be fed through a tube inserted in his nose. Gave Him the Whisky Treatment. Finally an expert alienist, Dr. Graves, superintendent of the insane asylum at San Antonio, was called across the border. He decided that Mitchell was faking and thereupon tried the whisky treatment. At first diluted in milk and later on straight from the bottle whisky was fed to Mitchell through the nose until he eventually got drunk like any other sane man, jumped out of bed and proceeded to make things lively for everybody around. The legal fight to save their lives made by the three Americans was one of the longest and most strenuously contested in the annals of the Mexican criminal courts. ROBBERS KILL A BANKER. Rob Golden Gate Bank, at San Francisco, at Noon. San Francisco, Cal. — Two robbers entered the Kimmon Ginko, a Japanese bank, also known as the Golden Gate bank, at 1588 O'Farrell Urakata, the manager of the bank, and seriously injuring A. Sasaki, a clerk, with a piece of gas pipe, escaped with $5,000 in gold. Manager Urakata died two hours afterward from his injuries. Urakata was acting as teller of the bank. After striking down their victims, the robbers dragged them to a poorly-lighted room in the rear of the bank. There the prostrate forms of the men were found. The unconscious men were lying in a pool of blood that streamed from their wounds and nearby was a piece of gas pipe, a foot in length. Chief of Police Dinan soon had detailed on the case every available detective and policeman in the city. He advanced the theory that the robbers are the same men who recently killed Pfitzner & Friede, merchants, in their stores in this city. Hill Owns Walsh's Road and Will Consclidate with Wisconsin Lines. Milwaukee, Wis.—Rumor has the Wisconsin Central in a combination with the Milwaukee Southern and the Chicago & Indiana road of John R. Walsh, which was recently sold to James J. Hill, and eventually the three roads will be turned over to Mr. Hill. These roads will tap every trunk line entering Chicago. Sole Survivor of a Lost Ship. L'Oriente, France—The mate, and sole survivor of the French steamer Coat-Coal, has been landed at Genoa. He says the vessel sank at sea, and 12 were lost. The Coat-Coal left L'Oriente Sept. 15 for Newport. Vancouver Island Shaken by Quake. Bellingham, Wash.—A special to the Herald from Vancouver, B.

We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command. There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each. 30 Illinois and North Carolina, 12 each. 24 Mississippi. 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas. 12 Missouri. 9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each. 14 Washington, D. C. 4 Virginia and Tennessee, 4 each. 8 California, Ohio, New Jersey and New York each have 3. 12 Kansas, Nebraska, Maryland and Colorado, each 3... 12 Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Indian Territory have one each... 7 Territory have on each... 7 Published in the south... 101 Published in the west... 44 Published in the east... 26 Total... 171 And yet there are what are called political and pocket newspapers. We have about 20 of them that last sometimes a year. The whites are flooded down with them. Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side ABYSINNIA NNIA $ ^{18} $ IIA 18 SOUTH TENTH ST.

To Introduce We Will Sell You a Sample Pair for Only with weekly white papers of this country. 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. WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW. The St. Louis Palladium has more subscribers than any other two Negro papers in the state of Missouri. We have more business men and women that advertise in The Palladium than any four Negro papers in the west. Notice the thick rubber tread "A" and puncture strips "B" and "D," also rim strip "EF" to prevent rim cutting. This makes the rubber any other make—SOFT, ELASTIC and EASY RIDING. Happenings in Missouri. A poultry crusade is about to be inaugurated in Missouri in co-operation with the state board of agriculture, which is expected to greatly increase the poultry products. The plan involves the use of a poultry train, filled with exhibition coops for display of the finest specimens of various standard breeds produced by Missouri poultrymen. In addition, a complete display of every appliance will be made, including poultry feeds, incubators, brooders, bone cutters, etc., used by growers of poultry. Experts will be present to explain their uses and to lecture on topics relating to poultry culture in all its phases. The industrial department of the Missouri Pacific is planning the poultry crusade, and southeast Missouri will be covered on the first trip. The itinerary of the train will close the first trip at Bismark in time to be present at the district state dairy convention, to be held there October 19 and 20. This is the first time that a poultry train has been used by any railroad, although the seed specials used in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and other western states have proven very popular. Farmers Successful Business Men. The annual meeting of stockholders of the Farmers' insurance company of Monroe county was held at Paris. This company was organized 14 years ago, and now carries insurance to the amount of $2,000,000. The report of Secretary Curtight showed that the actual cost per $100 during the past year was about ten cents and that the average for the last five years, including all running expenses and payment of losses, was a trifle less than 28 cents on the $100. E. M. Lipp, Thos. Utterback and W. H. Van Landingham were elected directors for three years. The farmers are also successfully managing a telephone system which covers almost every neighborhood in Monroe county and which has several extensive town exchanges, 1,800 farm houses having phones on these mutual lines. The cost of service ranges from 15 to 25 cents a month. Its Paris exchange gives residence service at 50 cents and store service at 75 cents a month, less than one-half the charge for the Bell service. A farmer near Holden saw two men digging a hole on his farm. After the men had departed he notified his neighbors and they dug in the same place the strangers had but reached the bottom of the hole without discovering any thing. The men said they were land buyers from Illinois and wanted to learn how deep the soil was. Later the men dug three more holes on the same farm where an old building stood during the Civil war. The Holden Progress continues: "The men have been watched and it is said they use a compass and measure the ground in front of where the buildings stood. During the war an old man named Piper was killed on the hill east of the Kirkpatrick farm about a quarter of a mile, and it is supposed the old man had buried a lot of money some where, and that the two mysterious men after all the lapse of years have come to find the buried treasure." Funds for new Normal. At the next session of the new state Normal at Springfield will present a request for $300,000 to aid in the progress of the work. This amount will be used for the erection of new buildings and for the payment of the running expenses of the school. The normal has started its first year with the best of prospects. The sessions of the school at present are being held in the old Springfield Normal building, which has suspended business since the location of the State Normal here. A county Bond Burning. Rev. W. J. Williamson, pastor of the Third Baptist church of St. Louis was called to his old home in Callaway county to deliver the principal address at a bond burning ceremony at Fulton. The ceremony held on the courthouse steps, and marks the deliverance of Callaway county from a debt which extends almost back to civil war times. The day was observed all over Callaway county as a county holiday. The "Innocent Bystander." A Chillicothe man who stopped out of idle curiosity to watch two men swap horses kept staying on until the shooting began and received one of the bullets in his foot. Reward for a Slayer. Gov. Folk has offered a reward of $150 for the arrest and conviction of George Kendrick, who killed Walter Thurbull in Crawford county July 4, 1904. Fire destroyed 60 stalls at the fair grounds at Higginsville recently. The origin of the fire is unknown. Decision Against Hunting License. In the course of an opinion finding against the state of Missouri in a hunting license law, at Macon, Judge Shelton made some sarcastic comments on the ambiguity of the law. The Macon county clerk is the only officer in the state who refused to obey the game warden. University Student Goes Wrong. Dottie Earl Zook, 19 years of age, a sophomore engineering student in the University of Missouri, made a confession to Prosecuting Attorney Harris of having stolen $1,000 worth of fountain pens and jewelry from the university co-operative store. His home is at Greenfield. An investigation resulted in the accusation that Zook has forged three checks for various amounts in Columbia during the past two months, signing the name of a Catholic priest of that city. In making his confession Zook said that he had been doing chores for his room and board at the University military academy, and that he was tempted beyond his power of resistance by unlocked doors and open windows. Zook has been a member of the 'varsity football squad and his brother, "Big" Zook, of Westpoint, was a regular sub on last year's team. While in school he has been quite popular. Zook also has a sister in the university this session. An Old Spring Goes Dry. For the second time in its history the public spring in the eastern part of Independence has gone dry. Just after the election of President Cleveland in 1884, the water ceased to flow in the spring and the many negroes who then used the water were panic stricken. They had been told before the election that if they voted for Cleveland all sorts of calamities would befall them and when the spring dried up they attributed the fact to the malign influence of the democratic president. After remaining dry a short time the water began to flow again and continued uninterruptedly until a few days ago. A contractor has been doing some blasting nearby and this, it is believed, has changed the course of the underground stream. The spring has been used to supply the municipal electric light plant. The Salmon Realty Sale. The real estate belonging to Salmon & Salmon and to Harvey W. Salmon and G. Y. Salmon, owners of the defunct Salmon & Salmon bank, was sold at Clinton at public auction by Trustees in Bankruptcy Ryland and Blake. The blinding on the various pieces was quite spirited at times, and while the property did not bring anything like its real value, it went well for a forced sale. About $62,000 was realized above the incumbrances. The cheapest property sold was the residence of H. W. Salmon. This property was appraised at $12,000 and brought only $6,325. They Got the Crowd. On Kentucky day at the Paris fair it was advertised that when all the original Kentuckians who lived in Monroe got to the grounds a barrel of fine, aged Kentucky whisky would be opened and all could drink free. The result was an enormous crowd. The fair association then announced that as all the conditions had not been complied with they could not furnish the whisky. One Monroe county Kentuckian had failed to appear. A Convict Shot. Minor Campbell, a St. Louis negro convict, was shot and severely injured at the penitentiary by Frank Stanfill, a guard. Campbell was fighting with another negro when the guard attempted to separate them. Campbell tried to strike the guard with a bar and the guard fired two shots. One took effect in the negro's body and the other in the arm. It Was Nitroglycerin. E. L. Stickel, a Missouri Pacific car repairer at Sedalia, was seriously injured by the explosion of nitroglycerin. While walking through the railroad yards he noticed a bottle filed with a liquid and thoughtlessly smashed it with his hammer. An explosion followed. Stickel's left hand was blown off and his body filed with cinders. Two Drowned in Osage River. John Scott, aged 25, and his brother George, aged 20, sons of James Scott, were drowned while attempting to cross the Osage river with a boat and a horse at Kenchaloe shoals, five miles below Buffalo, Dallas county. There was no witness to the drowning. The finding of the horse led to a search and the bodies were recovered. Butcher Dies from Exertion BUTCHER Dies from exertion. Frank Rice, butcher at the state hospital at Farmington, while knocking a steer in the head bursted a blood vessel from the exertion and dropped dead. He was 55 years old and went there from Kansas City on September 5. He was formerly connected with the commissary department of the United States army at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Missing Records Found. Three arrests have been made in connection with the McDonald county public record theft. Charles Evans, a wealthy abstractor of Pineville and a prominent politician there; Clarence Duval, a well known young man of that town, and M. F. Brown, a blacksmith, are the men arrested. Brown, it is alleged, directed the officers to an old well where most of the records were found, and then told them that the balance of the books were in an abandoned graveyard near Pineville.

Davis, in his speech at Dexter, Mo., tried to condemn Gov. Folk, then tried to compliment him. Yet, when he said, "No white woman will ever be hung in Arkansas as long as I am governor," this remark at once showed the littleness of the man, and his hatred of the Negro women. No wonder Gov. Folk smiled when he heard of it. We wish to say that our Negro detectives are doing good work; and we wish to say further that Judge Pollard and Judge Tracy are giving them all the aid in their power in sending the rounders and scoundrels to the little white house between St. Louis and Carondelet, better known as the workhouse. PAY, PRAY, PRAY TO THE GOD OF HEAVEN. All sensible men and women believe that there is a God who governs the destiny of this world and there is nothing by chance. We believe that when a people are helpless and can not defend themselves, they should appeal to God. On to-morrow 10,000,000 Negroes are asked to meet in their church of worship and ask that God will come to our relief in this country, as our race is being mistreated in America. U. B. F. Here They Are. S. M. T. We think sometimes when people try to please everybody they don't please nobody. There are the deputies: H. H. Thomson, Mrs. Hattie Williams, Mrs. Lucy True and Mr. Fields. These four are appointed to do the work of one. We trust there will be no friction this year, and all will work for the good of the order. We have been informed that the grand master has ordered the grand secretary to send the names of the officers to the Palladium. A committee might be appointed, and they will find something like they did at the grand lodge.

PICK- ETT, 2601 Lawton ave. RIP SAW COLUMN OF THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM A Jim Crow store, a Jim Crow rink and a Jim Crow nigger—the three are inseparable. The Magic Three. I see the young lady is still after the dude on the elevator. She had better look out, for his girl will make it hot for her. If a certain woman on Morgan and Jefferson avenue doesn't quit her pouting a young man who is next will tell her husband. The Dirty Dozen are getting bold. No wonder. What few girls are left on Lawton avenue kept their company; and their mothers tolerate it. There are no Jim Crow street cars in St. Louis, but there are a number of Jim Crow stores. Keep your money and send to New York for your goods. What constitutes a Jim Crow store; a Jim Crow rink? Answer: Why, a Jim Crow nigger who will take all insults from a Jim Crow white man. What kid is that who telephones to the elevator kid to met her on Lawton avenue? Better get some other place, for the girl on Pine street will cause trouble. The Negro that goes to any other skating rink outside of those controlled by Colored men and for themselves, are the Devil's own doll baby and should be at home. A number of young girls follow men to the skating rinks and dancing places night after night. The men, dudes, rounders and scoundrels will never have them for wives. As we sat in the restaurant last Thursday a pin-headed Negro sat quietly smoking a cigar as if he was in a common bar room. This is why we can not have no first-class restaurants. We have two skating rinks in St. Louis for the Negro people—Douglass, at 2645 Lawton avenue, and Brooks rink, at 2120 Market street. Now tell us who is the Jim Crow Negro who will go elsewhere. I see one of those married women that live in the 2800 block on Walnut street is now without a husband. They say he has gone to Chicago to get work. I don't think so. I guess he has caught on to her. A schoolgirl was seen last week going in a very suspicion place, and after being informed of it she tried to create quite a deal of trouble, and as the old saying is, the truth is the only thing that hurts a person. The holidays are now approaching and the dudes are all getting themselves two-cent jobs, so as to look good to the girls. I'll give the girls good advice. Keep on good terms, so as to get a Xmas gift, I bet the proprietor will make his married lady a fine one, for she is it in his estimation, but no one else's. The kid that moved off Jefferson avenue must not take Lawton avenue for a meeting place instead of the elevator. If the girl on Pine street had seen you and him on 2700 Lawton, also midway of 2600, last night, there would have been a scene. You would not have gone to St. Paul's chapel last night. The Jim Crow Negro who attends other rinks than the Brooks and Douglass ought to be skinned alive, for they are the outcasts of all respectable Negroes. The class of Jim Crow niggers who attend any other rink than the two conducted by Negro men never wash only when it rains. Oh, they are the lowest Negroes that live. The Palladium man made a mistake last week in the girl's address who needs to be put in a school or some other place to learn self-respect. This girl, as was stated last week, is in the streets at all hours at night and with any old person. She can also be seen in a certain cafe bumming drinks and supper, but I think the suppers are scarce. Instead of her living in the block as was stated last week, she is in the twenty-second block on Walnut. A certain dry goods store has late- ly opened with everything that men and women want, and our race, the Negro, spends thousands and thou- sands of dollars in that store for goods; but when they go to the soda fountain or restaurant they will not serve you. Now is the time for the true Negro to quit trading at a store where you can not get a glass of soda or a cup of coffee. Let us see the Jim Crow Negro who will still go to the counters and pay their money for goods where your child can not get anything to eat. The husband who will let his wife spend his money where they will not let her eat or drink ought to cease to give her his money. Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Female Troubles. M. B. J. W.

Last Sabbath's Bible class was provokative of a very hearty interest on the subject of "The Estate of the Godly and the Wicked," as stated by David in the 37th Psalm. The lecture of Mr. Banks, state secretary, was of no small amount of interest to the association men. Especial emphasis, with logical reasonings, was placed upon the physical department, his subject being "Association Work." A lifegiving programme will be rendered in connection with the business class on next Wednesday at 8 p.m. The association and any any man who has a mind to business are incited to be present. On Wednesday nights is the time set for the music class—Miss Dye is instructress. All association men and boys should avail themselves of this, so great a chance to become acquainted with music.

The enrollment at Lincoln institute is breaking all former records; and now, at the close of the first month of the fall term, September 29, over four hundred students are in attendance daily, and the number now steadily increasing. For the first time in the history of the institution it has become necessary to use the gallery of the auditorium during devotional exercises At the first musicale of the season, given under the direction of Miss Florence Pigeon, department of instrumental music, Miss Ida Burrell, department of domestic science, sang by special request, and so charmed the large audience with her well trained voice that she was literally forced to respond to encore after encore. Among the students who took part in the concert reflected much credit on their teacher. They were: Misses Nellie Akers, Beulah Corneal, Joseph Yates, Nellie Pollard, Eva Venters, Zerelda Gordon and others. The orchestra also performed its part in a very creditable manner. Among the violinists were. Miss Pansy Phelps and Master Russel Crossland, both of St. Josepin. Miss Burrell brings prestige to Lincoln institute, not only as a graduate of Madame Rorer's famous school, but, in addition, as a teacher of classes in that institution; and already principals of leading schools in the state have requested President Allen to ask Miss Burrell to make out course of study in domestic science or cooking that can be effectively read in elementary and secondary schools. Grant Tayes, student in junior class and the department of art, has received from President Allen an order for several large fruit paintings for the decoration of the dining hall. Christian influences of a most helpful and practical nature surround the students of Lincoln Institute, and as a result visitors remarked, "An air of culture and refinement pervades the institution" that is very wholesome for the student in the formative period.

Hainesworth Sisters HAIR GROWERS. Special Attention Given to Cleaning the Scalp and Shampooing the Hair. 2131 MARKET ST. (Up Stairs) Political PETER H. HON. THOS. NEIDRINGHAUS. The St. Joseph Enterprise is striking hard licks for the republican party. 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. J. H. Forker, a delegate of the Athority, is to act as politician in the Twenty-fifth ward. The Athority is strictly republican, and desires every other Colored gentleman, who is 21 years of age to have the same mind. Any inforation desired, inquire at 3983 Papin street. 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. No, the well is never missed till the water is out. A cow is never missed till the milk ceases to come. So it is in working a person; when he fails to respond, then he is missed. WEDDING BELLS ARE RINGING. The residence of Mrs. M. Brown, of 2208 Randolph street, were thrown open, and many friends were there to witness the marriage of her lovely daughter. Long will this event rest in the memory of those present at the nuptial ceremony of Miss Clarise Brown to Mr. W. B. Hunt, September 20. The bride was dressed in brocade lace made over white silk, bedecked with diamonds and flowers. The groom was dressed in a broadcloth suit. Miss Brown entered the large parlor resting upon the arm of her mother, who led her to the altar. Mr. Hunt was led by the brother of Miss Brown. They were both led to the altar to be joined as man and wife. Rev. _____ officiated in the most solemn manner. After the ceremony a reception was tendered the bridal couple by Mrs. Brown, the mother of the bride. We wish them much happiness and joy through this life. A. B. Rev. W. D. Venerable, Ph. D., moderator of Berean association and pastor of Compton Hill Baptist church, where the state state convention of Baptists will, on Oct. 16, begin a six days' annual session. His honor, Mayor Wells, will welcome the delegates on behalf of the city. Dr. Williamson, of the Third Baptist church (white), will welcome on behalf of the Baptists. Dr. Cook, of St. Paul church, for the Methodists, and Dr. Parr, for the Presbyterians. Rev. Sam W. Bacote, A. M. B. D., of Kansas City, will respond to the welcome of the mayor, and Rev. D. J. Tate, B. S. D., of La Grange, to the others. The ruling of the "state" board against the wish and request of those who tried ta influence said board to move the state convention from Compton Hill church, has caused no little embarrassment to the "faction" of Berean, who confidently expected the Baptist state board to act in harmony with them. A number of distinguished visitors, white and Colored, will be in attendance at the convention. St. Louis and "Compton Hill" church and all the Baptist churches will do their best to royally entertain the great gathering of Negro men and women. A. B. 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. As some of you have families to care for, you can not properly provide on such earnings. A. B. THE LINDEN For Newly Furnished Rooms with all Coveniences. 705, 707, 709 North 14th Street.

A KENTUCKY WOMAN A KENTUCKY WOMAN How She Gained Fifteen Pounds in Weight and Became Well by Taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Women at forty, or thereabouts, have their future in their own hands. There will be a change for the better or worse, for the better if the system is purified by such a tonic as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. D. C. Wedding, of Hartford, Ky., writes as follows concerning the difficulties which afflicted her: "I was seriously ill and was confined to my bed for six or eight months in all, during two years. I had chills, fever, rheumatism. My stomach seemed always too full, my kidneys did not act freely, my liver was inactive, my heart beat was very weak and I had dizziness or swimming in my head and nervous troubles. "I was under the treatment of several different physicians but they all failed to do me any good. After suffering for two years I learned from an Arkansas friend about the merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and the decided that I would try them. The very first box I took made me feel better and when I had taken four boxes more I was entirely well, weighed fifteen pounds more than when I began, resumed my household duties, and have since continued in the best of health. I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to many people on account of what they did for me, and I feel that I cannot praise them too strongly." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills restored Mrs. Wedding to health because they actually make new blood and when the blood is in full vigor every function of the body is restored, because the blood carries to every organ, every muscle, every nerve, the necessary nourishment. Any woman who is interested in the cure of Mrs. Wedding will want our book, "Plain Talks to Women," which is free on request. All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, or they will be sent by mail postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $3.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co, Schenectady, N.Y. IF YOU WANT to EARN MONEY Duse Refuses Jubilee. Eleanor Duse, the famous Italian actress, has positively vetoed a plan to celebrate her jubilee as was done in England and France for Ellen Terry and Bernhardt. When the subject was broached to the signora she thanked her friends but declined the honor. She enjoys the distinction—almost unique in her profession—of shunning everything in the shape of publicity. As a general rule she also scorns the usual artifices of her sex on the stage in the matter of paint and powder, appearing almost as nature made her, rapidly graying hair and all. Pauperism in British Isles. Indoor pauperism is said, in the British official record, to have grown rapidly in England and Wales since 1900. During the last eleven years the cost of indoor relief has increased 86 per cent., while the increase in the number of paupers has been only 36 per cent. The annual cost of maintenance per head increased from about $65 in 1895 to about $90 in 1905. There had also been a large increase in the average cost of maintenance of work house inmates. Drinking Customs. Society is soaked in drink. The customs of Europeans in India are all anti-teetotal. It is even regarded as unpatriotic to be a total abstainer, because the government has a direct interest in the sale of drink. It is a fact that when Indians become Christian it is necessary to have a temperance society, which as heathens or Mohammedans they did not require. This is due to British drinking customs.—World's Women's Temperance Bulletin. Poacher Had Nerve. Robert Jones, a Liverpool surgeon, tells of a patient who was an old poacher and who, while under the influence of cocaine during an operation upon the bones of a leg, regaled the surgeon with tales of his poaching exploits. When a widower marries a widow they are both unselfish; neither of them thinks of No. 1. RIGHT HOME. Doctor Recommends Postum from Personal Test. No one is better able to realize the injurious action of caffeine—the drug in coffee—on the heart, than the doctor. When the doctor himself has been relieved by simply leaving off coffee and using Postum, he can refer with full conviction to his own case. A Mo. physician prescribes Postum for many of his patients because he was benefited by it. He says: "I wish to add my testimony in regard to that excellent preparation—Postum. I have had functional or nervous heart trouble for over 15 years, and part of the time was unable to attend to my business. "I was a moderate user of coffee and did not drink drinking it hurt me. But on stopping it and using Postum instead, my heart has got all right, and I ascribe it to the change from coffee to Postum. "I am prescribing it now in cases of sickness, especially when coffee does not agree, or affects the heart, nerves or stomach. "When made right it has a much better flavor than coffee, and is a vital sustainer of the system. I shall continue to recommend it to our people, and I have my own case to refer to."

EASY MEANS OF ATTAINING A GRACEFUL FIGURE. Simple Exercise Recommended by a Famous Physical Culturist—Mistakes of Beginners. An English physical culturist has invented some exercises which he calls the empire exercises. He took them to Paris, but he found that the women there did not need them. And now he has sent them to this country. These exercises, gathered together briefly, are these: They are called the empire exercises, and they are for the reduction of the belt line. Only this, and nothing more, unless one is full in the throat, when there are exercises for making the throat smaller. Most people practicing the empire exercises will tighten up the belt. But this is not the way. The belt should be very loose to give the waist muscles full play. The corset should be taken off while one is exercising. The empire exercises are simple enough. Put on something loose and do this: Step forward and sink upon knee. Regain your position and step forward with the other foot and sink upon the other knee. One foot goes forward and the other knee bends. That is the way to do it. The rule is to keep on until you are pretty well tired out. The English instructor advises moderation. He says amateurs do too much in the beginning, and the result is a serious reiapse. They get so tired that they take to the couch, and then there is no more exercise for weeks and months. Maybe the IDEAS FOR THE HOSTESS. Some Novel and Simple Ways to Entertain Guests. A Handkerchief Shower. This affair for a prospective bride was arranged in a very clever manner. Twelve intimate friends were invited to luncheon with the request to bring the gift "monochir" rolled up into the smallest package possible. Before going to the dining-room the hostess took all the packages and disappeared. When luncheon was announced, with one voice the guests exclaimed "how pretty." Suspended from the chandelier there was an inverted Japanese umbrella, from each rib there was a smaller umbrella and from this hung by ribbons there was a gilded watering can the sprinkler of which had 12 holes with baby ribbons of different colors coming out. At the end of each ribbon there was a tightly rolled package. The effect was lovely. The place cards were miniature "Jap" parasols with the cards tied to the handles. The candle shades were ornamented with these same tiny parasols and small lanterns filled with candied puffed rice were at each place. The mint sherbert, which was the dessert, had smilax twined around the tall glass with another little umbrella in the top of the glass. Novel Flower Party: At an afternoon party given for 15 or 20 girls, each was requested to come wearing something to indicate a "flower." It certainly was a regular "flower garden of girls" that assembled on the broad flower decked porch. The hostess gave out little handpainted flower shaped booklets for the guesses to be written in and a prize of a huge bouquet of asters was awarded to the girl who guessed the most and a box of marshmallows to the one having the least correct guesses. Some of the representations were exceedingly clever; a row of pins conspicuously worn on the front of the gown was "rose," several pink bows of huge proportions was "pinks," while a button fastened on with a nail was "bachelor's button;" a girl resplendent in silver stars proudly said she was a whole bouquet of "asters." Space forbids giving any more examples, but it will be readily seen how this idea could be adapted to almost any entertainment. Ice cream was served in individual "flower" molds. Riddles. Here is a most ingenious riddle by Bishop Wilberforce which will afford keen amusement arranged as a contest. At the head of the paper write: "I am a singular piece of mechanism, as every one admits;" then write the following questions: 1-I have a carpenter's tool box. 2-Two lids. 3-Two musical instruments. disgusted beginner gives it up for ever. The next of the empire exercises consists in bending from side to side. This is hard enough, and most likely a strain upon the muscles. But the enthusiast can take hold of a chain by way of assistance, and not bend too far either way. The idea is to bend the body until it feels supple. The more one bends in moderation the better. The neck must be small if one is going to get the empire figure, and FANTASY DANCE next winter one must have this figure, even though one does not plan to wear an empire gown. All dresses are to be a little shorter in the waist line, and not a word is heard about the straight front. 4—Ten articles used by a carpenter. 5—Two lofty trees. 6—Two good fish. 7—A number of shell fish. 8—A fine stag. 9—A number of small animals, swift and shy. 10—Two playful animals. 11—A number of weathercocks. 12—Two established measures. 13—Two implements of war. 14—Whips without handles. 15—The steps of a hotel. 16—The sides of a vote. 17—Fine flowers. 18—A fruit. 19—Two scholars. 20—Two places of worship. 21—Ten Spanish noblemen to wait upon me. 22—A way out of difficulty.

The Two Great Commandments Sunday School Lesson Ior Oct. 7, 1906 Specially Prepared for This Paper. LESSON TEXT.—Mark 12:28-34, 38-44 Memory verses, 30, 31. GOLDEN TEXT.—"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart."—Mark 12:30. TIME.—Tuesday, April 4, A. D. 30. PLACE.—The temple court in Jerusalem. Thoughts on the Lesson. "The commandment which Jesus cites to the scribe is peculiar to revealed religion. That is only to say, in other words, that it presupposes redemption. We could not imagine such a precept in the religion of Greece, or of Rome, and, of course, we do not find it. Who can 'love,' in any conceivable sense of the word, Zeus or Poseidon, Here or Athene? Neither the place they hold in the universe, nor their characters and relations to each other, nor their attitude to men, inspire any such emotion. It is often said that love cannot be commanded, but that has only a limited truth. Granted certain relations between persons, and love is demanded by the very nature of the case; if it is awanting, its absence is the graves of moral faults, and brings innumerable others in its train; till it comes, literally nothing can be right."—James Denney, D. D. Why is this the first and greatest commandment? 1. It is greatest in its nature, being the highest and noblest act of the soul. 2. It is the sum of the first table of the Law. 3. It has the greatest value, being the fountain and source of all virtue, of all love to our neighbor, because it is the consecration of self to the Father of all good, and all men. Herbert Spencer says, "By no political alchemy can you get golden conduct out of leader instincts." 4. It is the act, the outgoing of the whole nature of man. It is all-inclusive. 5. It is the most difficult of all things. Love is not a mere sentiment, a general good feeling toward God, when all things go right with us; but it is a devotion to God and His cause when that devotion makes us martyr; that enables us to trust Him in the darkest night, and say with Job, "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord," and "Though He slay me, yet will I wait for Him." Reasons for Loving God Supremely. (1) He is supremely good; He is the sum of all good. He that loves God loves all that is good, and hates all that is evil. (2) He is not only good, but lovable. His goodness is attractive; it is worthy of love. (3) All we have and are we owe to him; and the only way in which we can make any return is to love him and obey him in love. That is all that is ours to give; to withhold it is unutterably mean. (4) "The best thing in man is love, and God wants the best." (5) Such love not only honors God, but elevates man. Love is the most ennobling act of the soul; and the nobler and higher the object and the more intense the love, so much the more is the one who thus loves ennobled, purified, enlarged, exalted in nature. (6) In Him are found all that ought to move the highest affections of men. Suggestions. 1. Love is the greatest thing in the world. For an unfolding of this great fact see 1 Cor. 13, and read Prof. Drummond's booklet, "The Greatest Thing in the World." 2. Love is the fulfilling of the second table of the Law. Compare "The Spectrum of Love" in Drummond, illustrating the description of love in 1 Cor. 13, and his "Programme of Christianity," which is stated in Christ's own words (Luke 4:18), the fulfillment of the Prophet Isaiah's words (Isa. 61:1), the soul of the Old Testament, and exemplified in Christ's message to John the Baptist (Matt. 11:3-6) 3. By loving our neighbor we can test and express our love to God. This is more effective than even prayers and songs of praise, though these help to inspire and cultivate love to God. So St. John says, "If a man say, I love God,' and hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?" (1 John 4:20). 4. Love to God and love to man transform earth into heaven. Compare the conditions given in the twenty-fifth chapter of Matthew, where the good deeds enjoined are not substitutes for faith, and prayer, and love, and honesty, but they are the proofs of a right heart, from which all virtues grow. Not the Amount of the Gift, but the Spirit of Sacrifice—Ruskin in his Seven Lamps of Architecture, "The Lamp of Sacrifice," in speaking of the expense lavished on the tabernacle, says that "the covenant·of God with his people was marked and its acceptance signified by some external sign of their love and obedience and surrender of themselves to His will. The Measure of the Gift The measure of the gift The measure of a gift lies not in the largeness of the gift, but in the largeness of the love and sacrifice it expresses; not the size of the gift, but the cost to the giver; not the number of the sheaves, or of the measures of fruit, but the love and gratitude and faith that fills them. And in that great day when we present our fruits at the judgment seat, some large sheaves will grow larger by that measure, and some will shrink into a handful of half-grown stalks; and pebbles from barren fields will grow into gems and gold. THE CHRISTIAN WORLD FROM ISLAM TO CHRIST. Story of the Conversion of a Young Moslem Sheikle. At the great Mohammedan college, El-Azhar, in Cairo, thousands of students are annually prepared for service as missionaries of Islam. In view of such an output, it is not surprising that Mohammedanism is rapidly gaining upon heathenism in Central Africa. While the messengers of Christ are tardily sent forth by twos and threes, the ground is being covered by hundreds of messengers of Mohammed, the result of whose labors is to make the entrance of the gospel tenfold more difficult. Such facts, says the Record of Christian Work, render all the more significant an event which took place a few weeks ago, when a young Moslem Sheikh, one of the most gifted of the Azhar students, publicly avowed his faith in Christ. Before Lord Cromer at the British agency, and in the presence of two leading officials—a Moslem minister of the interior, and a Copt minister of foreign affairs, who happened at the time to call on Lord Cromer—this young man passed through the ordeal of cross examination and signed a statement to the effect that he had decided of his own free will to remain a Christian. This he did knowing that the cost must be not only loss of wealth and position, but separation from his father and relatives, to whom his act has brought bitter disappointment and (in their eyes) disgrace. The event has caused a profound sensation among the Moslem population, and his European friends have advised the young Sheikh to voyage to England. CHURCH FOR ART STUDENTS. Paris Colony of Americans to Enjoy Religious Privileges. It is usually estimated that there are from 2,000 to 2,500 American students in Paris, mostly in the schools of art; and those best informed believe that even the larger number is below the actual fact. The real number, whatever it is, is likely to be larger each year rather than smaller, and American Christians have awakened to the fact that these young people are without the religious safeguards and helps which were theirs in the homeland. English, Scotch and American students have their various churches; but the students of Paris are not "residents," and as a rule are not able to support a church in or near the quarters where their studies and pursues require them to live. Rev. Dr. Charles Wood, of Philadelphia, during a six months' stay in Paris, some years since, undertook to minister to the wants of this peculiar field, and upon his return to our country organized a work whose site should be in the center of the student world, the Latin quarter. This work was put then in charge of Rev. Sylvester W. Beach, but he has recently been called back to a pastorate at Princeton, N. J., and it is now in charge of Rev. Ernest W. Shurtleff, who has been for some years pastor of the American church at Frankfort, Germany. The Zoroastrian To-Day. With regard to their family life the Zoroastrians at Yezd are monogamists, except in a few isolated cases where Mohammedan influence has led to polygamy, especially if the first wife has borne no children. The sentiment of the community as a rule is strongly against dual marriages, says A. V. Williams Jackson. In the home the wife occupies a freer position than among the Mohammedans. There was no evidence of seclusion, and the impression the women gave was one of modesty and dignity without any special shyness. Like the men, they have to adopt a particular style of dress to distinguish them from Moslem women. They do not wear vells except on the street or in the bazar to avoid insult or unpleasant remarks. Resignation of Dr. Lipsius Rev. Dr. Reinhard Lipsius, of the University of Jena, has resigned from the theological faculty of that institution and has been appointed to a chair in philosophy. The reason assigned for this change is that having given up his belief in Christianity as a supernatural or final religion, he felt it inconsistent to hold a position which was established for the defense of the evangelical faith. In philosophy he has a free field, calling no man master. In religion he felt that he could not at the same time profess Christianity and antagonize it. Gave His All. "A man came into my room the other day," writes the Rev. J. H. Ritson, the missionary. "I thought he was a beggar. He pulled out a bit of crumpled paper and put it down on my desk. It was a bank note for £1,000. 'I am 73 years old,' he said, 'and I have walked here from North London, and I am going to walk back to save the railway fare.' It has often been said that the true way of giving is to give until it costs." Christians Hindering the Gospel What is the greatest hindrance to the spread of Christianity? An English bishop says it is the lack of Christianity among professing Christians Cure For The Blues ONE MEDICINE THAT HAS NEVER FAILED Health Fully Restored and the Joy of Life Regained. When a cheerful, brave, light-hearted woman is suddenly plunged into that perfection of misery, the BLUES, it is a sad picture. It is usually this way. She has been feeling "out of sorts" Mrs. Rosa Adams for some time; head has ached and back also; has slept poorly, been quite nervous, and nearly fainted once or twice; head dizzy, and heart beats very fast; then that bearing-down feeling, and during her periods she is exceedingly despondent. Nothing pleases her. Her doctor says: "Cheer up: you have dyspepsia; you will be all right soon. But she doesn't get "all right," and hope vanishes; then come the brooding, morbid, melancholy, everlasting BLUES. Don't wait until your sufferings have driven you to despair, with your nerves all shattered and your courage gone, but take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. See what it did for Mrs. Rosa Adams, of 819 12th Street, Louisville, Ky., niece of the late General Roger Hanson, C.S.A. She writes Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I cannot tell you with pen and ink what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I suffered with female troubles, extreme latitude, the 'blues' nervousness and that all-gone feeling. I was advised to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it not only cured my female derangement, but it has restored me to perfect health. The buoyancy of my younger days has returned, and I do not suit for any longer with despondency, as I did before. I consider Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a boon to sick and suffering women." If you have some derangement of the female organism write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for advice. About the dearest thing on earth is a cheap man. Jewelers Lament.

There are instances in great number where mining operations were temporarily suspended by a shortage of funds or by water flooding the property, but it remained for Mohawk, a small station along the Southern Pacific, to furnish a new cause which is unique in the history of mining. The company affected owns the Red Cross mines in the Mohawk mountains. Millions of bees, attracted by the water at these mines and forced from their hives in the mountains by the drought, took possession of the water supply, and their numbers were so great that it was found impossible to drive the swarms away. Consequently the mines have been shut down until the rainy season sets in, when it is hoped the bees will return to their mountain homes.—Sacramento Bee.

Hindu Moon Lore. The full eclipse of the moon was observed in Singapore on the night of August 4. According to the Hindus this eclipse is the contact between the moon and another planet called Rahoo, but the masses believe that owing to the will of God, Rahoo, or the serpentlike planet, catches hold of the moon by its hideous mouth and releases it after a short time. At the first contact the Hindus bathe principally in the sea and anxiously await the release. After the contact they take another bath. During the interval they are not allowed even to drink a cup of water, as their belief is that all things in the world get polluted during the contact.—Singapore Times.

Not a Single Stone Has Formed Since Using Doan's Kidney Pills. J. D. Daughtrey, music publisher, of Suffolk, Va., says: "During two or three years that I had kidney trouble I passed about 2½ pounds of gravel and sandy sediment in the urine. I haven't passed stone ... since using Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and that was three years ago. I used to suffer the most acute agony of three years that I had kidney trouble I passed about 2½ pounds of gravel and sandy sediment in the urine. I haven't passed stone since using Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and that was three years ago. I used to suffer the most acute agony during a gravel attack, and had the other usual symptoms of kidney trouble—lassitude, headache, pain in the back, urinary disorders, rheumatic pain, etc. I have a box containing 14 gravel stones that I passed, but that is not one-quarter of the whole number.

The visitors from the country turning from a London railway terminus into the street on Saturday stepped to gaze agast at a man standing in the gutter, "Look," said one, nudging the other, "even the beggars wear 'toppers' in London!" It was true in this case, at any rate. Here was a man of about five and thirty, dressed like a city clerk, in a good morning coat and trousers, sound boots, clean starched shirt and collar and a well fixed tie. He was crowned with a silk hat, well brushed and ironed. But there he was in the conventional attitude of the curbstone merchant, one foot on the pavement, the other in the gutter. One hand held out for sale half a dozen boxes of matches, the other invited alms. A man keeps a nice little place in the country from the profits of his pitch on the pavement in the Strand, but his workaday clothes would not fetch as much as this man's hat cost to iron—London Evening Standard. BABY'S TORTURING HUMOR. Ears Looked as if They Would Drop Off—Face Mass of Sores—Cured by Cuticura in Two Weeks "I feel it my duty to parents of other poor suffering babies to tell you what Cuticura has done for my little daughter. She broke out all over her body with a humor, and we used everything recommended, but without results. I called in three doctors, they all claimed they could help her, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was being eaten away; her ears looked as if they would drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before I had used half of the cake of Soap and box of Ointment the sores had all healed, and my little one's face and body were as clear as a new-born baby's. I would not be without it again if it cost five dollars, instead of seventy-five cents. Mrs. George J. Steeese, 701 Colburn St., Akron, Ohio." Aunt Mary's "Quiet" Funeral.

Her nearest kinsman, a nephew, ordered the body sent back to be burred—as was her last wish—in the quiet country churchyard. His surprise can be imagined, when, on opening the casket, he beheld, instead of the placid features of his Aunt Mary, the majestic port of an English general in full regimentals, whom he remembered had chanced to die at the same time and place as his aunt. At once he cabled to the general's heirs, explaining the situation and requesting instructions. They came back as follows: "Give the general quiet funeral. Aunt Mary interred to-day with full military honors, six brass bands, saluting guns." Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary 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 wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Lady Minto's Work in India. The countess of Minto, who did so much to extend the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses in Canada, has now undertaken a similar work in India, where her husband succeeded Lord Curzon as governor general.

THE LAXATIVE OF KNOWN QUALITY plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to contribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming constipation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active principles and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package.
