CHICAGO ELECTS NEGRO JUDGE Will Try "White Folks"---Howl of Protest Goes Up From All Over the City When Amazing News is Heard. Vol. XXII. No. 48. Is Now CHICAGO EL Will Try "White Folks"---Ho All Over the City News is Special to The Paladium. Chicago, Nov. 8.—Chicago is just awakening to a realization of what it means to have a Negro judge, and the howl of protest which began Wednesday gained in crescendo when it was announced that Frederick L. Barnett, the judge in question, would not be assigned exclusively to the trial of cases involving persons of his own race. "This is not a 'Jim Crow' court." declared Chief Justice Olsen, of the new municipal court. "I shall assign Mr. Barnett—where I think he will do the most good." VICTORY From all appearances, the Negro Jefferson club doesn't amount to a hill of beans—2629 Lawton avenue—for all of the Fourteenth ward went for the Republican ticket—1,174 against 996, 1,014 Democratic; that shows what the club amounts to. The Palladium has never been silent in any campaign. We shelled the Negro votes out of the woods and voted the Republican ticket, don't you see? Our prediction was that the Republicans would carry St. Louis from 5,000 to 8,000. So you see we got there, neighbor, in good shape. SPIRITUAL CHRISTIAN UNION.

WRIGH ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1906. Barnett was elected to a two-year term as municipal judge as a Republican, despite the fact that he ran 30,000 votes below the next lowest candidate on that ticket. It is said that Thomas Lantry (Dem.), who lacked only 499 votes of defeating Barnett was heavily scratched by the Republican, but managed to squeeze in on the Republican landslide, because the voters failed to bunch their ballots for any one of the Democratic candidates. If the Republicans expect to retain the Negro vote they must learn to vote for a Negro, as we vote for you. CITY NEWS.

GOOD WOMANS SAD DEATH Explosion of Chemicals Causes Death of Mrs. W. P. Smith. One of the saddest castastrophies that has ever happened in the community was that of the explosion of chemicals in the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Smith, 2632 Randolph street, where Mrs. Mattie Smith met her death. We have known Mrs. Smith ever since she was 5 years of age. All through her school days she was frail and delicate, seemingly, but with a sweet disposition that made all with whom she came in contact, love and respect her. As she grew into womanhood she seemed more and more attractive. As a most lovable young woman, her associates loved her, as did men and women of older age. Having passed all the grades in our public schools, she became a teacher. She was a good teacher and was beloved by her pupils and other teachers. She taught school until the time of her marriage to Mr. W. P. Smith. One of the best evidences of her sweet and benevolent disposition is that every one with whom she dealt speaks in the highest terms of this lovely lady. Mrs. Smith was a fountain of knowledge and she displayed that to make others happy. Women and men liked to be in her company, as she seemed to be one of the few to interest and please others. In her marriage to Mr. Smith two persons never met and were united as they, each seeking to make the other happy. To this happy union two lovely children were born, Marietta Smith, 10 years, and Fredrick Smith. The girl is of a sweet disposition like her mother and the musement Company (ORATED) Shares, Par Value, $1.00 Each. 8th St., St. Louis, Mo. issue for future information boy seemingly takes after his father. Thus we are reminded that in the midst of good health we are on the brink of the grave, the sand of time is passing from beneath our feet. We can but say to the husband: "Prepare to meet thy God, for we believe that no other place beyond the grave can contain the spirit of such a lovely being as that of Mrs. W. P. Smith, your wife, but the heaven of heavens," and as your thoughts will rest and linger upon her many good qualities, let me impress it upon you to keep this picture ever before your two children that they may imbibe the sweet and lovable disposition of their mother, Mrs. W. P. Smith. See the following account from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: Mrs. Mattie Smith, 32 years of age, wife of William P. Smith, was burned to death Saturday afternoon at her home, 2632 Randolph street, by an explosion of chemicals used in the manufacture of shoe polish, that wrecked and burned the kitchen in which she was working. Her husband and two children escaped through a window, 12 feet from the ground. Mrs. Smith was assisting her husband in the manufacture of two large batches of shoe polish, the ingredients of which are highly explosive. She was stirring one pot on the coal range, while her husband looked after another on the gas range. One of the pots became overheated and an explosion occurred that filled the room with smoke and gas fumes. Realizing the great danger, Smith stepped to the kitchen window, threw up the sash, and seizing his two small children, Frederick, 8 years old, and Marietta, 10, lifted them out of the window and dropped them to the ground and then leaped out himself, thinking that his wife had escaped through the door, near which she was standing. Smith says he did not realize that his wife had not escaped until he was outside and heard her cries for help. He then attempted to re-enter the kitchen through the door. By that time, which was not more than a minute, the entire room was a seething furnace of smoke and flames, and it was impossible for him to enter. After the firemen had extinguished the flames, Mrs. Smith's body, burned Drugg $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents: in the West. VICTORY ! FOOT BALL! RAIN OR SHINE FOOT BALL!

All arrangements have been completed for a game of football between the Sumner High School of this city and the Pearl High School of Nashville, Tenn., to be played at Handlan's park, corner Grand and Laclede avenues, Saturday afternoon, November 17, 1906, at 3 o'clock. This is Sumner's first contest with the Nashville aggregation, and the game promises to be a very interesting one. Sumner will not play in St. Louis Thanksgiving day, as the annual contest with Central High School of Louisville will be played there on that date. The Sumner boys think they have this season one of the greatest ROOSTER BISHOP ISAAC LANE. The second day's session of the C. M. E. conference, now in progress at Lane's tabernacle, 3866 Fairfax avenue, was opened Thursday with special religious services, conducted by Rev. G. W. Wright, presiding elder of the Missouri district. The business session opened at 9 o'clock a.m. Bishop Lane presiding. The day was devoted to the hearing of statistical reports of the pastors of charges, and the report of Rev. Rufus S. Stout, of Little Rock, Ark., secretary of the church extension board. Rev. G. W. Stewart, of Selma, Ala., general secretary of the Epworth league, preached to the members of the conference Thursday night. Friday's session will be devoted to hearing the reports of the regular committees, and the Women's Missionary society will give an entertainment at the church where the conference is being held Friday evening. Straighters-Thornton Wedding. Mrs. Straighters, of 3115 Lambdin avenue, after seven years and eight months, fell a victim to Cupld's arrow. This lady, after preaching for several years the doctrine that she would not marry the best man that ever lived, but on the 11th of September fell a victim to a man, namely, Mr. Thornton. The guests who were invited knew nothing of the wedding and were invited under the pretense of a reception. Having enjoyed a splendid repast, she suddenly handed the license to Elder Anderson, who was among the guests, and the ceremony was performed in the usual dignified way. teams in the history of the school. They have a fast and fairly heavy eleven, and have been working hard and faithfully at Forest park preparing for the coming conest. In a practice game at the park between the regular eleven and a mixed team of the alumni and other players, Sumner defeated the picked eleven by a score of 22 to 5. The new rules have opened up the game considerably, making it much more interesting to the spectator and lessening the danger of injury to the players. Great enthusiasm prevails among the pupils at Sumner, and they are preparing to turn out in large numbers to cheer their team to victory. Summer penants and sleeve bands may be secured at the park. The Summer colors are maroon and white. By a unanimous vote, Chester McElroy was elected as captain for the season of 1906. The admission fee will be as usual, 35 cents. U.B.F.&S. M. T.

New York—Except William R. Hearst, who was defeated by Mr. Hughes by a plurality of 61,988 in the state, all the rest of the demo- cratic candidates for state offices are probably elected. Lieut-Gov. Bruce, the republican managers still claim, will squeeze through by a small plu- rality. Here are the pluralities of the dem- ecratic candidates in Greater New York: Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, for Ileu- tenant-governor, 134,043. William §. Jackson, for attorney- general, 141,446, Frederick Skene, for state engineer and surveyor, 144,188. John S. Whalen, for secretary of state, 139,917. Martin H. Glynn, for comptroller, 141,466. Julius Hauser, for state treasurer, 142,399. Mr. Hearst's plurality was 73,844. ‘Mr. Hughes’ plurality above the Har- lem river was 135,832. Any republican candidate failing to secure a plurality equally to his aboy- the Harlem is defeated, and in the case of the ma- jority of state officers the plurality must be from 4,000 to 5,000 more than Mr. Hughes’ in order to meet the dem- ocratic pluralities rolled up in the city of New York. Lieut-Gov. M. Linn Bruce, accord- ing to returns from all the 14 counties received, was running on equal terms with Mr. Hughes above the Harlem, As Mr. Chanler’s plurality below the Harlem was 134,943, Mr. Bruce will be elected by less than 1,000 votes, assuming that he comes down to this city with a vote equal to that of Mr. Hughes. Mayer Defeated. Little chance of election 1s believed to be left to any of the other repub- lican state candidates. The defeat of Attorney-General Julius M. Mayer and State Engineer and Surveyor Van Al. styne seems assured, and the election of the other republican state officials seems to be equally in doubt. To be elected attorney-general May- er must come to the Harlem river with a plurality of 141,446—the plural ity of his opponent, William 8. Jack son, in this city. Returns received on the vote for attorney-general indi- cated that Mr. Mayer was running con- siderably behind Hughes and Bruce, and that he will be defeated by prob- ably 5,000 votes. State Engineer and Surveyor Van _ Alstyne must do even better than Mr. Mayer if he is to win out. His oppo- nent, Frederick Skene, one of “Joe” Cassidy’s men in Queens, rolled up the remarakable plurality of 144,188 in Greater New York. He also polled a remarkably big vote on Long Island. His election was practically conceded by State Chairman Woodraft. Returns from the up-state vote are remarkably incomplete. The full vote for governor only has been received, and only a few counties have sent in the full vote for the other officers on the state ticket, excepting lieutenant- governor. The democrats confidently. claim the the election of the entire state ticket except Hearst. They declare the of- ficial canvass of the state board might be netessary to determine the result, Control of the office of state engi- neer and surveyor would give the democrats charge of the spending of $151,000,000 appropriated for the ca- nal improvement, and of a big slice of the $50,000,000 to be appropriated for good roads. The spending of the lat- ter amount will begin the first of the year, and after the work is once start- ed it is in the hands of the state en- gineer and surveyor. In the attorney general's office a half dozen good places will be made for democratic lawyers. The power of this office is great, and an attorney general so disposed can make much trouble for the trusts. Hearst Vote a Surprise. The opposition to Hearst by demo- crats in this city, resulting in a dif- ference of over 60,000 votes between him and his running mates, was the surprise of the election. The cutting was general in all the boroughs. In Manhattan, Hearst was cut almost as freely as in Brooklyn. % Among the various boards of which the election of the state officers would give the democrats control are the ca- nal board, commission of the canal fund, board of state canvassers, and state board of equalization, Utah, Salt Lake City—That Joseph How- ell, republican, is re-elected congress- man at large from Utah by a major- ity of 10,000 over O. W. Powers, dem- ccrat, and Thomas Weir, American, is certain. voseph E. Frick, republican, for justice of the supreme court, will have a smaller, but equally safe lead. In Salt Lake City the vote stands: Howell 7,608; Powers 4,644, and Weir 3,622. Twenty-eight of the forty-three county precincts outside the city give Howell 3,419, Powers 1,269 and Weir 695: SUMMARY OF THE ELECTION REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN THE , HOUSE Is 44, This Is Five More Than the Repub- licans Had Four Years ‘aia’ Pe ee a ER Te a, RR ‘of the returns from the states praces ‘the republican majority in the house ‘of representatives at 44. This repre- sents a democratic gain of 34 mem- bers over their representation in the ast congress. It places the total democratic mdinbership at 171, and the republican membership at 215. This is five more members than the republicans had in the Ffty-eighth congress four years ago. ‘The majority may be reduced to 42, since one district in Ohio is reported as in doubt and probably democratic, "Phe democrats still haye hopes of get- ting the Twenty-fourth Illinois, where “Bob” Williams is the democratic can- didate. "If Williams should be elected, the Agure would be brought downto ‘The democrats lose two seats in the ‘senate—those in Montana and Colo- ‘rado, now held by William A. Clark and Thomas M. Patterson, respective- ly. The most remarkable senate fight was that won in Idaho by Senator Fred Dubois (dem.), who will be the only democratic senator from a state entirely north of the Mason and Dixon line. The change will leave the dem- ocrats 31 members in the senate, while the republicans will have 59, one short of a two-thirds majority. ‘The democratic gain in the house 4s distributed through the country. Il- Unols contributes 5 more democrats to the Sixtieth than to the Fifty-ninth congress, Indiana 3, Iowa 2, Minne- sota 1, Missourl 7, Nebraska 1, New Jersey 3, New York 1, North Caro- na 1, Ohfo 4 or 5, Pennsylva- nia 5, and Wisconsin 1; a total of 34 or 85, according to the outcome in the doubtful Ohio district. Chairman James 8. Griggs, of the ‘democratic congressional committee, concedes the election of a republican ‘house, and admits that the majority will be around 40. Democrats find some consolation in the defeat of Representative Babcock in Wisconsin, McCleary in Minnesota and Wadsworth in New York, all of whom were prominent republican members. McCleary was particularly conspicuous as a stand-pat tariff man, and the fact will be loudly proclaimed as the occasion of his downfall. * A long train of visitors went to the white house to congratulate the pres- ident upon the republican success in New York and the congressional elec- tion. The republicans assert that the result is a Yote of confidence in the administration and the president. Chanler Apparently Elected. New York—With the official vote of but three counties missing, Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler apparently ‘is elected Meutenant governor on the democratic-Independence league tick et by a plurality approximately 1,700 votes over M. Linn Bruce, republican. To arrive at these figures, Bruce's probable pluralities in the counties ot ‘Essex, Ontario and Niagara are based on the vote for the republican guberna- torial candidate. While slight changes “may be made in the returns from sev- eral counties, ft is not believed they “will materially reduce Chanler’s lead, ‘but on the contrary may increase it. It appears that all the other candi- dates on the state democratic ticket are elected by small pluralities. Lost by Ten Votes. Concord—Unofficial returns in New Hampshire indicate that the voters failed by the narrow margin of 10 to elect a governor, The state law re quires that the successful candidate receive a majority over the other candidates, and Charles M. Floyd, of Manchester, the republican nominee, falls short just 10 votes of receiving the needed majority... Unless the of- ficial result shows a change, the leg- islature will be called upon to name the next governor. The figures are: Floyd, republican, 40,518; Jameson, democrat, 37,524; Telley, prohibition- ist, 2,113; McFall, socialst, 888; Churehill, 2. Missouri. St. Louis—Thomas L. Rubey, vice chairman of the democratic state com- mittee, believes the democratic state ticket will win on -the official count by about 10,000 votes. The officials at the ‘republican state headquarters now concede the election of the entire democratic state ticket by pluralities ranging from 3,000 to 6,000. Idaho. Boise—Chairman B. H. Brady of the republican state committee has issued the following statement: “We have now received sufficient returns from every county in the state to enable us to say that the republicans will have 16 out of 21 members of the senate and 44 out of the 51 members of the house. Gov. Gooding is elected by over 9,000 majority: and the: bal- ance of the state ticket from 15,000 to 22,000 majority. Mr. Boran will receive at least 57 votes out of 72 for United States senator, Nevada. Reno—The indications are thatthe democrats will carry Nevada by 2,500 votes, The republicans will have a majority of one in the state senate. The assembly is still in doubt. Both sides claim it by one majority, lowa. Des Moines—Complete returns from the Iowa election show Goy. Cummins, epublican, re-elected by a plurality of 22,456. Cummins received 196,822 votes and Porter, his demoaratic op- ponent, 174,366. EPISCOPAL ADDRESSES. Bishops of the A. M. E. Church and Post Office Addressom, 23: ee Ba ct RT.REV. B. W. AKNETT, D.

The Puritan rejected the church organ as an instrument savoring of popery, and a precenter set the music for the service. Hymn-books being scarce in the early New England days, hymns were read line by line by this official, and the congregation sang each line as it was read. The effect, remarks the Youth's Companion, was one of mourful monotony and horrible droning. That the precenter had troubles of his own is revealed in the quaint records of Judge Sewall. Without the aid of notes or instrument to guide and steady, the congregation would often get on one tune and sing another. The judge, who was a precenter of long and worthy standing, makes these entries in his diary: "In the morn I set York tune, and, in the second going over, the gallery carried it into St. David's, which discouraged me very much." "I set Windsor tune, but the congregation ran over into Oxford, do what I would." "I set York tune, and the congregation went out of it into St. David's in the second going over. They did the same three weeks before. It seems to me an intimation for me to resign the precenter's place. I have through the divine favor done it for 24 years. The Lord humble me and instruct me that I should be the occasion of any interruption in the worship of God." RIIS SETTLEMENT HOUSE. Extensive Improvements Being Made in This New York Institution. The Jacob A. Riis Settlement House at No. 50 Henry street, New York City, is being renovated and enlarged at a cost of $25,000. In addition, a new gymnasium is being built at an expense of $9,000 by President Roosevelt's friends, and equipped and endowed by the pupils of half a dozen private schools. It will bear the president's name and will stand, Mr. Riis says, for "strong ideals of manhood and the square deal." In the gymnasium will be placed a bronze tablet bearing the president's face and the motto which Mr. Riis has given him, "Better faithful than famous." The tablet will also bear the names of the schools that are to support the gymnasium. In the assembly hall of the main building will be another tablet bearing the following inscription: "This house was freed from debt and set apart for the use of all God's children in loving memory of Elizabeth Riis, 1906." The whole cost of restoring the Settlement House proper and freeing it from debt will be $75,000.—Christian Intelligencer. American Bible Society Sends Out Rev. J. L. M. Laughlin. The American Bible society lately appointed Rev. J. L. McLaughlin as agent for the Philippines to succeed Rev. Jay C. Goodrich, who has resigned after five years of service in the islands. He was appointed in 1900 to educational work in the Methodist Episcopal mission at Singapore. He was, however, immediately transferred to the newly opened work in the Philippines, arriving in Manila May 9, 1900. He has been a presiding elder in the Philippine Mission and editor of the "Philippine Christian Advocate" since its inception. He has special skill in languages, and will be fitted to take up and carry forward the important work of securing translations of the Gospels and the New Testament, and portions of the Old Testament Scriptures, in the important dialects of the Philippines. Mr. McLaughlin is a good speaker, an attractive personality, and deeply devoted to evangelizing these islands through the power of the Scriptures. British Convention. British Convention. The sixteenth British Christian Endeavor convention was recently held in Leeds. The motto of the convention was "The Uttom for the Highest." The chief topic of all meetings was Revival. This convention was marked by better schools of method, better classes for Bible study, intermediate work, village extension, etc. Two meetings that deserve special mention are the Mothers' Endeavor society and the meeting for International Brotherhood. Among the speakers were: Dr. Boyd Carpenter (bishop of Ripon), Rev. S. Chadwick, of Leeds, Principal Adeny, D. D.: Rev. O. T. Walden (the Australian president), Rev. Francis E. Clark, Rev. J. E. Roberts, M. A., D. D., and Rev. Elvet Lewis. Gracious Act of a King. The King of Wurtemburg has given tax exemption to the Southern Alliance of German Y. M. C.

Since the election last Tuesday not a so-called Negro Democrat has been seen. From all appearances, all of them voted the Republican ticket. The Palladium shelled the Negro out of the woods to the polls and they did their duty. In St. Louis the Negro voted almost to a man, the Republican ticket; but let us see why the state went Democratic: We have watched events for the past two months, and we place the fault where it belongs. There are 40,000 Negro votes outside of St. Louis, and yet there was no effort put forth to get the Negro vote out. White men were sent out through the state to speak, and few Negroes, if any, were sent out, and those who were sent out did not know how to arouse the Negroes to their duty. For instance, Kansas City, St. Joseph, Hannibal, Springfield, Boonville, Columbia, Sedalia, and every place in the state where the Negro was numerous, no attention was paid to them. Take any campaign, when the national committee sends out speakers among our race, they (the Negro) listened to them, and the state was thoroughly aroused. The national committee sent out men, who knew the people, and the people knew them. The state went Democratic because the Negroes of the state were not asked to take a part, and so long as this continues, so long will the state go Democratic. At Sedalia, Mo., the Negro newspaper was silent on politics. The Rising Sun, Kansas City, was grumbling, as also the Kansas City Mirror. The St. Joseph Negro paper tried to take a part, but failed. The St. Louis Advance took a little part. The Palladium was the only Negro paper that went forward, without money or price, and for six weeks we did our whole duty and more. Now, what shall the harvest be? We feel as if we have been of some service to the party in St. Louis. We ask this question: "What shall be our reward?" The 40,00 Negroes in the state were not asked to take part in state affairs. When the state committee can let the Negro alone in the state, then the consequence will be seen by their vote. The Palladium was the only Negro paper that struck out from the shoulder, money or no money.

Ninety-five per cent. of them were negroes charged with assaults on white women. The methods of execution comprised hanging, shooting, flogging, burning at the stake and flaying. In one instance, in Arkansas, the victim's arms were twisted from their sockets. As a rule, the more atrocious the crime the more atrocious the punishment. Before the wholesale lynching of negroes in Atlanta, Louisiana and Alabama held the lynching record. But Georgia now goes to the head with something like 55 victims. Burning at the stake has been almost as frequent as hanging and more frequent than shooting. The example was set by the people of Paris, Tex., in February, 1893, when Henry Smith, a negro farm hand, was burned alive after he had been tortured with red-hot irons. His feet were seared first and then the upper part of his body. His tongue was burned out and the irons, partly cooled, were then thrust into his eyes. Then he was slowly roasted to death on a pine platform saturated with kerosene. The flames were stiffed from time to time with buckets of water so that his agony might be prolonged. Up to 1892 the commonest form of lynching was by hanging. In that year 235 men were lynched—200 in the south and 35 in the north and west. Of the 235, 16 were whites, who were shot to death for crimes ranging from horse stealing to murder. In 1894 there were 190 lynchings, 70 of them by fire. The lynchings averaged about 150 a year until 1901, when they dropped to 135, but in 1901 more negroes were burned at the stake for assaulting white women than in any year since 1893. The example set in the south extended to the southwest. Kansas had a record of 17 lynchings, all by hanging, but in January, 1901, Fred Alexander, a young negro, was bound in chains for an attempted assault on Miss Eva May Roth. He was also suspected of the murder of Miss Pearl Forbes. Alexander protested innocence of both crimes, but he was not believed. His hands were shackled by the father of the Forbes girl and the brother of Miss Roth and his body was given to the flames. Gov. Stanley "Hello! Hello! Who's that?" "Well, this is the Palladium man, whose name is J. W. Wheeler." "I want to know if there was an election last Tuesday in St. Louis." "Well, well, no, not at all. St. Louis missed a cog and tilted up, which made it a landslide." Well, I am just from Texas and a stranger in St. Louis. I was invited to St. Louis by the Negro Democratic Jefferson club. I got here this morning, November 7th, and I can't find any of them. Where are they?" "Well, I don't know. They went in their holes and pulled the holes in after them." "Well, I guess I will go back to Texas. Those Negroes promised me a janitor's job after the election, November 6, 1906." "Well, friend, all I can say to you is, next January, 1907, we will put many of them out of the city work." "Well, good-bye. All is well." "Good-bye." Death Came at Last. Last Saturday Mr. Zack Delaney, one of the oldest Masons in the city of St. Louis, passed into the Great Beyond. He was a member of Prince Hall Lodge No. 1 for forty years and had filled every office in the lodge. He was secretary for over twenty years. He was buried from St. Paul Chapel last Monday. He leaves a wife and many friends to mourn his loss. denounced the sheriff of Leavenworth county in unmeasured terms and offered a reward for conviction of the lynchers, but nothing ever came of it. In February of the same year, 1901, George Ward, a negro, was hanged in Terre Haute, Ind., by lynchers and before life was extinct his body was lowered and cast into a flaming heap of brushwood and consumed. He had confessed assaulting and murdering Ida Finkelstein. Georgia's most noteworthy lynching by fire was in April, 1899, when Sam Hose, who murdered Alfred Cranford and then assaulted Cranford's wife, was burned at the stake. The officials of the town of Newman, saw him tied to a tree a few miles from Palmetto. It was first proposed to burn him in the garden of Mrs. McElroy, mother of Mrs. Cranford, but she objected to the litter that a fire would make, so he was taken to a field. After being bound one of the lynchers sliced off Hose's right ear and another man cut off his left ear. He never uttered a moan. Asked if he had anything to say, he said he had been paid $20 by a negro preacher to kill Cranford and that the assault on the farmer's wife was an afterthought. Hose broke away from his bonds after he had been burning ten minutes and was kicked into the blazing logs and chained more securely. The embers were scattered and he did not die for 20 minutes. A state convention was called to meet in Atlanta to consider the question of lynching in a few weeks after Sam Hose had been put to death, but the movement came to nothing so far as denunciation of the practice was concerned. The majority of the delegates were rather in favor of lynching than opposed to it. This was illustrated in the summer of 1904 at Stateboro, Ga. Two negroes charged with murder had been placed under the protection of the state militia, but the militia offered no real resistance when a mob descended upon the prisoners, who were tied together, and burned alive by a mob of 1,000 citizens. The officers were court-martialled and Capt. Hitch, who was in command, was dismissed and Lieut. Kell was suspended for a year. The others were censured. Georgia averaged about 26 lynchings a year from 1901 up to the present year, the majority being by hanging or shooting. Sunday Concert. The address of Hon. Charles Claflin Allen at the Sunday concert last Sunday afternoon was enthusiastically received by the large audience gathered there. The musical numbers of the program were up to the usual standard of excellence that characterizes the Sunday concerts. Prof. Peter H. Clark and Mrs. Lucy Barrow will contribute to next Sunday's program. Memorial. Mrs. Jane Weatherford, our beloved mother, passed out of this life, one year ago last Thursday.

The Mystic Spook, the Lucky Horseshoe and the Magic Mirror, all contributed to the joy of the occasion at the Hallowe'en party at Orpheus Academy Friday night and the ingenuity and cleverness of Mrs. John Hammond and Misses Beatrice and Clotidle Hudlin, in the operation of these several devices, were generally commented upon. The grotesque costumes of Mrs. Alberta Byrd, Misses Katie Murphy, Annie Delaney, Marina Winberly, Annie Porter and Mr. Jesse Johnson and others excited much admiration and amusement. The beautiful decorations, designed by Mr. Julius A. K. Ticklin, the general spirit of mirth that pervaded and the orderly way in which all entered into fun of the occasion served to make Hallowe'en a memorable event in the history of Orpheus Academy.

The Mississippi Industrial Society, an association of some of the best citizens of St. Louis, who were former residents of the above state, met at the Y. M. C. A. Hall last Monday night for the first time since they organized for the purpose of discussing the best step to put forward to better the condition of its members, etc. There was about ten or fifteen present and everyone made a short address, at the conclusion of which it was decided that in the course of time they thought it would be a good thing to start a bank here in the city. This idea will be pushed forward from time to time with the hope that all the present members and those who will or may join in the future from Mississippi will become interested in the movement. The society intends to go to work in earnest and make this the grandest organization in the United States, hence the move will be watched with interest. The following are the names of the members present: Mr. Sanday Morgan, the president; A. W. Washington, Sidney W. Connor, A. Russell, treasurer; Mansy Douglas, David Marshall, Edward L. Hicks, Mr. W. H. Sanders and wife, M. Williams, W. H. Davis and J. A. Marshall. The membership is about 70 already and it is hoped that there will be 100 or more to join on the 26th of the present month, when the society meets again at the Y. M. C. A. Hall, 2704 Lawton avenue.

As young men they were great friends; then politics flung them apart; they quarreled and never met for years and years. Strange fate brought the children of these two great writers together and Bjornson’s daughter married Ibsen's only child. The fathers met after a quarter of a century of separation at the wedding of their children. The Ideal Family Laxative. is one that can be used by the entire family, young and old, weak and strong, without any danger of harmful effects. It should have properties which insure the same dose always having the same effect, otherwise the quantity will have to be increased and finally lose its effect altogether. These properties can be found in that old family remedy, Brandreth’s Pills, be- cause its ingredients are of the purest herbal extracts, and every pill is kept for three years before being sold, which allows them to mellow. We do not believe there is a laxative on the market that is so carefully made. Brandreth’s Pills are the same fine laxative tonic pills your grandparents used. They have been in use for over a century and are for sale everywhere, either plain or sugar-coated. REMARKABLE LIFE OF MISER. Englishman Hoarded Pennies and Left Large Fortune to Queen. | John Camden Neild, whose magnifi cent bequest to Queen Victoria sup plied the funds out of which the ‘prince consort built the present Bal- moral castle, deserves a place among the great misers and was as remark- able a man as any of them. He was educated at Eton and Trinity college, Cambridge, and was a barrister at Lincoln's Inn. At the age of 34 his father’s death placed him in posses- sion of a fortune of £250,000, and from that moment he became a con- firmed miser. Neild lived at 5 Cheyne walk, Chel- sea. His big house was so meanly furnished that it did not even boast of a bed. Two old women, who did his stoves, and a black cat were his sole companions. When he visited his large estates in the Midlands, which he did frequently, he generally walk- ed, unless he could get a lift for noth- ing, and he was not even aboye tak- ing a gratuitous seat on a dung cart. Sometimes he was compelled by the weather to take a seat on the stage coach. And there he would sit out- side, shivering and dripping—for he never wore a greatcoat—an object of commiseration to his fellow passen- wore.

It is curious how people will refuse to believe what one can clearly see. ‘Tell the average man or woman that the slow but cumulative poison- ous effect of caffeine—the alkaloid in tea and coffee—tends te weaken the heart, upset the nervous system and ‘eause indigestion, and they may laugh at you if they don’t know the facts. Prove it by science or by practical demonstration in the recovery of cof- fee drinkers from the above condi- tions, and a large per cent. of the human family will shrug their shoul- ders, teke the drugs and—keep on drinking coffee or tea. “Coffee never agreed with me nor with several members of our house- hold,” writes a lady. It enervates, de- presses and creates a feeling of lan- guor and heaviness. It was only by leaving off coffee and using Postum that we discovered the cause and cure of these ills. “The only reason, I am sure, why Postum is not used altogether to the exclusion of ordinary coffee is, many persons do not know and do not seem willing to learn the facts and how to prepare this nutritious beverage. ‘There's only one way—according to directions—boll it fully 15 minutes. Then it is delicious.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

He would often rail with homely and humorous wisdom against drink. “Men drink,’ he said one day to a broker, “because they are happy, be- cause they are sad, because they are too warm, because they are too cold. Is there any logic in that? “When I see men drinking I think of a little boy at the seashore. “This little boy, at play with his bucket and shovel in the sand, sudden- ly ran to the edge of an advancing wave, and, scooping up a handful of salt water and foam, drank it greed- ily. “Oh, don’t drink that, said his nurse. ‘It will make you thirsty.’ ““What if it does?’ said he. ‘There's plenty more.’” Kaiser Won Bride for Officor.
