Is Now FARMERS' CONVENTION At Lincoln Institute—President Allen Emphasizes the Value of Agricultural Prusuits for the Negro. The fifth farmers' convention at Lincoln Institute was held Friday, November 9, 1906. President Allen's annual address presented a strong plea for agricultural pursuits and attendant industries as the bedrock in the development of the Negro, or, indeed, of any primitive race. Farmer Abram Jackson, of Boone county, brought an excellent exhibit of agricultural products from his farm near Brown's Station, and with Farmer Logan, of Calloway county, gave a very interesting account of his struggles from the most humble beginning to the present time, when they have well-stocked farms with fruit-bearing orchards and other accessories of pro THANKSGIVING PARTY NEW IMPERIAL CLUB True Reformers Hall Thursday Night, Nov. 29th, 8 Wm.

Many of these young men and women in the student body are sons and daughters of farmers and expressed their determination to return to the farm after graduating from the institute, believing that the practical nature of the training received here will enable them to make of farming a renumerative pursuit. Thus is Dr. Allen helping to solve one of the most perplexing problems than confronts the people of the United States, irrespective of race or color, i. e., "How to keep the Farmers' Boys and Girls on the Farm in sufficiently large numbers." In fact two much praise cannot be given this Christian gentleman and scholar for his work in enlarging the scope and horizon of education for the Negro of the great middle west, nor are the results of his work confined to any section.

Miss Minnie Anderson, president of Club No. 7, is planning an entertainment for Tuesday evening, the 20th, at the church. The choir under Prof. Patterson was at its best last Sunday. Several very high compliments were passed by members in the audience. We were more than glad to see so many of our friends from the sister churches in our congregation last Sunday morning and evening. Rev. Dr. Cole has been on the sick list this week, being confined to his room for one or two days. We hope to see him out and in good health Sunday. At 3 p. m. a special audience assembled for covenant meeting and Lord's Supper. We have not witnessed a better experience meeting. A liberal offering was taken up and distributed among the poor saints. At the evening service Rev. W. P. T. Jones delivered one of the most logical and earnest discourses we have listened to for some time. The doctor is one of the oldest and most experienced physicians in St. Louis.

Wheeler, Editor St. Louis Palladium: Dear Sir—Kindly allow me space in your valuable paper to insert the following article: It is the highest ambition on the part of Dr. Bell to see the Negroes of the city of St. Louis have the manhood to ask a place upon their ticket for some representative Negro to be elected, and not at all times ask for an appointment. We claim the balance of power of the party; then why not have the right of suffrage as any other Republican, according to our numerical strength. Just 24 hours ago I was speaking to the editor of The Palladium along this line. Since that conversation I am the happy recipient of a letter coming from a newly-elected assemblyman, elected from the Third, Fourth and Seventh districts in the city of Milwaukee, Mr. L. H. Palmer, who enjoys the acquaintance of many St. Louisans, having had charge of the Wisconsin state building during the World's Fair. The doctor enjoys the contents of the letter for more than one reason. First, because he is a relative; second, because he is a successful candidate. Let us St. Louisans wake up to action and not so much talk. DR. S. B. BELL. MISSIONARY MASS MEETING The ministers of the A. M. E. church of St. Louis and vicinity will hold a missionary mass meeting Monday evening, November 21, 1906, at St. Paul's chapel, to discuss city mission work.

One of the grandest receptions of the season was the one tendered C. H. Tandy on November 5, in Cape Girardeau, at the Masonic temple. The hall was crowded to its utmost capacity with white and Colored ladies and gentlemen. It was one of the most enthusiastic meetings of the campaign. Capt. Tandy stopped with Mr. and Mrs. Randall, of 422 North street, and was highly entertained by them. Rev. C. M. Douglass called the meeting to order and stated the object of the meeting. Prof. Cobbs was made chairman. The people of Cape Girardeau are very anxious to subscribe for the Palladium, as they say it is the leading Negro paper in the state of Missouri. Rev. C. M. C. Mason, rector of All Saints' Episcopal church, will preach a sermon to men, Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. The general public is invited to attend. $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents. in the West.

This is Sumner's first contest with the Nashville aggregation, and the game promises to be a very interesting one.

Antioch Missionary Circle will meet in their regular monthly meeting Sunday, the 18th, at the close of morning service. The president would be pleased to see all the members present.

Mr. Spencer Kellog, of 2741 Laclede avenue, died Tuesday, November 13, at 7:30 p. m., after a lingering illness of probably a year. He was formerly a pupil of Sumner High school, well thought of by his teachers and loved by his fellow students. Not long since he stopped school to accept a position in the postoffice; having accepted the position, he put forth every effort to accomplish his duties. It was thought, however, that the position was too confining, which brought on the dead disease which caused his death. Several ladies asked us this week why we don't change the president of the "Dead Beats" Society." There have been several elections since the society was organized, but as Richard Williams has more shares than any two members and they vote their shares. Richard Williams votes for himself, therefore he wins. W. S. Walton, the usher at St. Paul chapel, has tried hard to get to be president, but failed. Richard Williams has 48 shares; W. S. Walton, the plumed knight of St. Paul chapel has only 15 shares, so you see we can not remove Richard Williams, better known as "Little Breeches." 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. Sumner pennants and sleeve bands may be secured at the park. The Sumner colors are maroon and white. By a unanimous vote, Chester McEloyw was elected as captain for the season of 1906. The admission fee will be as usual, 35 cents.

It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures. The rubber is durable and has insisted customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They recommend an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fibre on the tire. The buckling in the Eckert sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or rubber is by the pressure the tire prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The tires are $5.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $8.50 per pair. The rubber slipped same day and letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval. The tire can be sent until you receive it.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY Shortest Line ST. LOUIS to LOUISVILLE LEXINGTON, KY. THE LOUISIANA, WITH THE PRES- IDENT, DROPS ANCHOR IN COLON’S HARBOR. . President Amador and Chairman Shonts Visit the President on Board Ship—Anarchists Arrested. Colon—The first trip of an Amert- can president outside of the bound- arfes of the United Statés was suc- cessfully concluded when the battle- ship Louisiana, having on board Pres- ident Roosevelt and his party, dropped anchor in the harbor of Colon. The Louisiana, which arrived ahead of scheduled time, was conyoyed by the Tennessee and the Washington. The three vessels anchored about a mile from the dock during a heavy rainfall. Received Visitors at Night. Owing to the fact that the Louisiana arrived ahead of time, neither Prest- dent Amador of Panama nor Chair- man Shonts of the Isthmian canal com mission was on hand ot welcome Pres ident Roosevelt. They left Panama at 4:30 in a special train for Colon, and at 8:30 at night boarded the Lou- isiana, and extended a cordial greet- ing to America’s chief executive. In President Amador’s party, beside Mr, Shonts, were Chief Engineer Stevens and Executive Secretary Reed of the commission, and Mr. Squiers, the American minister at Panama. Talked to Newspaper Men. President Roosevelt received the newspaper correspondents on board the Louisiana. He said that his voy: age had been pleasant an uneventful, and expressed himself as gratified at the welcome which the citizens of the isthmus are preparing for him. He stated that he proposed to look into the Jamaican labor question and also intended to see everything possible concerning the canal. Protecting the President. Extensive precautions have been taken to protect President Roosevelt during his three days’ visit on the isthmus, and it is reported that a num- ber of known anarchists have been arrested here or at Panama. All steamers arriving at the isthmus are inspected, and suspicious characters have been imprisoned, and will be gwia in custody until President RooBevelt departs. S. L.

Paris—The tripunal of first instance of the Seine, Judge Ditte presiding, has granted a divorce to the Countess de Castellance, formerly, Anna Gould, of New York, and gave her the custody of her .children, who, however, will not be allowed to be taken trom France without the consent of their father, Count Boni de Castellane. The count is given the right to see the children at stated periods at the home of their grandmother, and keep them’a month annually during the hoit- days. He is also to share in their edu cation. ‘The count’s demand for alimony ot $50,000 annually was pronounced py the court to be without foundation in law and was rejected. Is Now Mme. Gould. Mme. Gould, as the former Countess de Castellane will hereafter be known —her title having ceased with the granting of the divorce—expressed the greatest satisfaction when she re- ceived the news at her residence on the Avenue Malakoff. Miss Helen Gould, who will remain here until aft er Christmas, was with her at the time. Mme. Gould has no present in- tention of leaving Paris. Although the court denied the count’s application for an annuity, there is the best ground for the state- ment that Mme. Gould will make a lib- eral allowance to the father of her children, Further, it is again stated that, so far as the creditors are con- cerned, the countess will settle all the legitimate }%Is for household ex- penses, but she will continue to resist to the utmost the payment of money owed to usurers under whatever dis- guise and borrowed. by the count tor his own purposes and without her con: sent. rmMhAW wy RW hhUlUp W.

REFORM CURRENCY PLAN WALL STREET MEN AND BANK- ERS REACH AGREEMENT. Public Moneys to Be Deposited in Na: tional Banks Without Security, Banks to Pay 2 Per Cent. Washington—The plan of currency reform agreed upon by the committees of the American Bankers’ association and the New York chamber of com- Merce, upon which they have been at work, has been made public. The com- mittee of the bankers’ association was made up of representative financial men from all over the United States. The conclusions reached were unani- mous, and will-be submitted in the form of a report to the members of the American Bankers’ association. Be fore adjourning finally, a committee. was appointed, to whom was intrust- ed the drafting of a bill for presenta tion to congress. The Plan Agreed Upon. The plan agreed upon by the two compittees contemplates the issue un- der government supervision of credit bank notes by national banks equal to 40 per cent of their bond-secured cireu- lation, subject to a tax of 2% per cent per annum;an automatic increase of creditor notes equal to 12% per cent of a bank’s capital at a tax of 5 per cent per annum; the estab- lishment of a guarantee fund for the redemption of eredit notes; repealing existing law limiting the retirement of bond-secured notes to $3,000000 per month and the depos't of all public moneys above reasonable working balances in national banks without collateral security on which the banks are to pay 2 per cent. ALLEGED GRAFT AT FRISCO. Grand Jury Returns Indictments on Charge of Extortion. San Francisco—The grand jury has brought five indictments against May- or Eugene Schmitz and Abraham Ruef, on the charge of extortion. On each charge the bail was fixed at $10,000 and bond at $5,000. The first alleged crime was in con- nection with the Poodle Dog restau- rant, and the indictment recites that Reuf and Schmitz demanded money from the proprietor, Tony Banco. As this.demand was made, it is said, on two occasions, two indictments were returned. Extortion believed’ to have been practived upon Ed Marchand, proprietor of Marchand’s restaurant, is the basis of two more indictments. A demand made upon Joe Malfanti, another restaurant man, is the alleged offense on which the fifth and last indictment was Yound. Mayor Eugene Schmitz sailed for Europe several weeks ago, it being said that he was seeking rest from the arduous labors following the earch. quake and fire. The San Francisco papers are print- ing sensational stories, one to the ef- fect that the mayor has been shad- owed throughout Burope by federal de- tectives. It is also asserted that one of the greatest graft scandals of recent history is about to be uncovered, There are rumors that funds sent to San Francisco after the earih- quake and fire for the relief of suf- ferers found their way into other chan- nels; that when President Roosevelt was informed of this his resentment was great, FOR GRANTING A REBATE.

El Reno, Okla., Nov. 11.—The members of Companies B, C and D of the Twenty-fifth infantry (Negro), recently ordered dismissed by President Roosevelt, as a result of the riotous disturbances at Brownsville, Tex., August 13, were formally disarmed at this place. Many of the men, some of whom had been in service more than twenty years, shed tears when they gave up their guns. To-morrow the disarmed troops will have battalion drill without arms, and will be discharged immediately upon receipt of the official order from Washington, probably Monday or Tuesday. The second battalion of the Twenty-sixth infantry, under command of Major Charles J. T. Clarke, which arrived last night from San Antonio, has gone into camp just outside the garrison limits of Fort Reno. The Negro troops have shown no disposition to be ugly.—Globe-Democrat. This is one of the saddest things that has ever fallen from the hands of our friend or foe. These companies—B, C and D of the Twenty-fifth infantry—have been the flower of the regular army, as brave and as fearless as any men that ever enlisted, and to see that hundreds of them are compelled to suffer for the wrong-doings of a few men. The recommendation, while admitting that many of them were innocent, declares that they, too, should suffer. This sweeping order by the president is something that 10,000,000 of Negroes cannot understand, and the adjustment must and should be made soon, before it becomes an eating cancer. Never in the history of any country was there such an order rendered to the defenders of their country. We hope that some senator or congressman will, at the convening of congress, the first Monday in December, 1906, introduce a resolution restoring these brave men to their former positions. Hello!

Some years ago we gave him three papers to sell—at that time a paper called the American Eagle, was in her glory. Mr. Barnes sold the Eagle, the Advance and the Palladium, but in due time the Palladium got the lead, and today he sells 60 to 70 papers every week. Thus it shows what close attention to business will do. The Palladium stands ahead of any Negro paper in the West. In St. Louis the Palladium is read by over five thousand people. In St. Louis many persons will not eat their breakfast until the mail man brings the Palladium to them on Saturday morning. If you don't believe it, ask the letter carriers who eager the people are to get the Palladium. Ask any of our agents. So you see if people want the citizens to know that they are in business, advertise in the Palladium. Notice! Notice! The collecting for the Palladium is up to the manager, and we shall be on duty from 9 a. m. till 8 p. m. We hope that our many friends will so arrange to be of good cheer, and at all times make us happy. We shall endeavor to do what we can to give you the news of our people. We have the best list of subscribers of any Negro paper in the country, and they have the best collector. When Will the Baptists Stop Fighting? Rev. J.

WANTED—5,000 men and women who want to get well, who are diseased in body, to go to Victor Medical Co., 2626 Olive street. If undecided, consult Leon Devoux, the Great Hindoo Clairvoyant. He removes the Hoodoo and removes evil influences. 2734 Morgan street. 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? Miss Georgia Garland was united in marriage last Tuesday evening to Mr. Fred Mason. She will entertain Saturday evening, November 10, 1905, at her home. We take pleasure in recommending the Victor Medical Co., 2626 Olive street, to the public. Go and see this wonderful system of treating all kinds of diseases. Good health is better than money. Rev. L. J. Washington, pastor of the Presbyterian church, and wife, on Nineteenth street, between Wash and Carr streets, has just returned from an extended visit, and will be in his pulpit to-morrow. Come out and hear him. Miss Dollie V. Hobbs, of Louisiana, Mo., is visiting her brother, Mr. J. C. Hobbs, of 1417A Market street. She will be pleased to have her many friends call and see her during her stay in the city, which will be about a week. Hello! hello! Who's there? This is the residence of J. W. Wheeler. Well, what's your telephone number? This is K. 7890 Central. What do you want? "Mamma says please send the Palladium to us." "What's your number?" "Our number is 3229 Caroline street." All right; you will get it Monday. The entertainment for the benefit of Provident hospital should have been a success, but, as usual, it seems as if they were playing to the aristocrats. My advice to them is, if you wish to be successful, be with the people all the time and not only when you wish to raise money. The Williams & Walker Company were present and made quite an impression. The Hospital, 2700 Morgan Street. Next Thursday the Hospital will make another effort to raise money to relieve the wants of our race. The Williams and Walker company will appear on that occasion to do what they can to aid them. Remember, they will appear after their show at the theater, at the Douglass hall, 2645 Lawton avenue. We trust that the hall fill be crowded to assist in this worthy cause. Race feeling among employees at a gravel pit in Louisiana causes clash, and two negroes are dead. It is a pity that Cliff Clark does not dance with some one else besides—besides—. I wonder why Tid Lee (nee McKay) does not dance with some one else beside the barber. A married lady, who lives on Fairfax avenue, west of Vandeventer, who is not living with her husband, stays out all night. She tells her aunt that she was with a lady friend. We are on to you, and your aunt will soon be wiser, as your husband is on the lookout for him. Oh, yes, him! The Palladium man was at Douglass hall Thursday night, and, while we claim it was an aristocratic affair, some of the Dirty Dozen were there, and they took part, as other people, and enjoyed themselves with our so-called best young ladies.

WITH NERVES UNSTRUNG AND HEADS THAT ACHE 50c Correspondence RECORD OF LYNCHINGS Four Thousand Put to Death in Last Twenty-Five Years—Ninety-Five Per Cent of the Victims Have Been of Negro Blood. Washington.—Four thousand persons have been put death without warrant of law in the United States. 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 stiff 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.

Mulligan, W. P., 1417 Pine street; Lula Lee Chatman, U. P., 1524 Pine street; Evelyn Horten, secretary, 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 Statesboro, 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-martialed 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. M. PROF. WILHITE, Who Is an Ideal Teacher.

Harahan, vice-president of the Illinois Central railroad, since the sensational meeting of the stockholders of the company a few weeks ago. The ethical mistreatment accorded Mr. Harahan has been through press reports emanating from unreliable sources. During the past ten days all sorts of rumors regarding the future presidency of the Illinois Central have been circulated, the chief allegation being the selection of Capt. Grammar of the New York Central lines to succeed Stuyvesant Fish. This story was out of whole cloth and was written by a traveling newspaper space writer. It was offered to a number of papers and refused, and finally accepted by one from which it was telegraphed throughout the country. The only explanation is that the man who wrote needed the money, for Capt. Grammar was never offered the presidency of the Illinois Central. If Mr. Fish were to decline another term as president it is quite certain that J. T. Harahan would be elected to succeed him. It has been Mr. Harahan more than any half dozen others who has popularized the Illinois Central. He has worked while others slept; has traveled over the big system continuously, and knows its patrons, passengers and shippers, the newspapers and legislators. He never countenances a crooked deal; has been on the level with everybody, and back of everything is the fact that he is one of the best operating and traffic managers in the country. The silly space stories have worked harm to all concerned—Fish, Grammar, Harahan and Stubbs—and furnished no news, and there will be no real news until the directors meet. FISH IN NEW PLACES. Wild Ducks Found to Bear Fish Eggs Ready to Hatch. A correspondent from Saffi wrote in our June issue expressing his mystification as to how small fish come to be in inclosed waters. A naturalist suggests an explanation. He says: "If the wild ducks, etc., of Morocco are similar to those elsewhere there is no mystery. For some years there was open-mouthed wonder as to how perch, bream and crayfish could get into newly cut dams near the Macquarie river in New South Wales. "In some cases the water had hardly settled after the rain had filled the dam than the fish were observed, and the farmers started a large theory of spontaneous production. "This obtained till a Sydney professor chanced to pick up a wild duck and found its breast feathers and webbed feet well dotted with fertile and almost hatched fish-ova, on which the 'spontaneous production' theory was promptly withdrawn." — Chambers' Journal. Honey From Spain and Germany. There are 1,690,000 beehives, producing 19,000 tons of honey, in Spain, which is the second greatest producer of honey in the world. Germany, with 2,000,000 beehives, produces 20,000 tons. Magazine For the Blind.

Dyspepsia of Women Caused by Female Disorders and Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound A great many women suffer with a form of indigestion or dyspepsia which does not seem to yield to ordinary treatment. While the symptoms seem to be similar to those of ordinary indigestion, yet the medicines universally prescribed do not seem to restore the patient's normal condition. Mrs. M. Wright Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a derangement of the female organism, and which, while it causes a disturbance similar to ordinary indigestion, cannot be relieved without a medicine which not only acts as a stomach tonic, but has a peculiar tonic effect on the female organism. As proof of this theory we call attention to the case of Mrs. Maggie Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y., who was completely eured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after everything else had failed. She writes: "For two years I suffered with dyspepsia which so degenerated the entire system that I was unable to attend to my daily duties. I felt weak and nervous, and nothing that I ate tasted good and it caused a disturbance in my stomach. I tried different dyspepsia cures, but nothing seemed to help me. I was advised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. And was happily surprised to find that it acted like a fine tonic, and in a few days I began to enjoy and properly digest my food. I was able to eat five weeks I was a well woman. I have recommended it to many suffering women." No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement or has such a record of unces of female troubles, as has Lydia Pinkham's Verege Compound. THE CHRISTIAN WORLD Rescue Work Done by the Water Street Mission. The Water Street mission of New York was well known to the "crooks" of the country, and many of them, when they did not know where else to go, went there. Some of them, says a contributor to the New York Tribune, were converted to a better way of life. It was the habit of the mastager to assist these men in every possible way, to secure work for them, and now and then to entertain several of them at dinner in his room over the chapel. On one occasion a woman from a distant city was visiting the mission, and took dinner with the superintendent, Mr. Hadley, and a number of the converts. "Why, Mr. Hadley," she said, "I am astonished that these people are such nice-looking people." "Don't talk so loud," replied Mr. Hadley. "Every one here has a record except my wife and you and our missionary. The longest one is 20 years in the penitentiary." The woman was so astonished that she nearly forgot to eat her dinner. It was Mr. Hadley's custom to go to Sing Sing prison every year to speak to the prisoners. One year he spoke to them in this wise: "You men are going to leave here soon. They'll give you a suit of clothes and ten dollars, and you'll drift down to New York and you'll get drunk. When your money is all gone you'll pawn your clothes. Then you'll probably stand round and ask hard-working people to give you a nickel to buy food. When you can't get it, you come down to Water street, and I'll give you a password. You say to me: 'Abril 13, 316.'" The password was the date of his visit to Sing Sing and the street number of the mission. Three hundred came to him that year and gave the password. Many of these men became honest, and helped their companions to follow their example. The forethought that sows is the faith that reaps. RESULTS OF WELSH REVIVAL. Remarkable Increase in Church Membership Is Noted. That the Welsh revival has not proved a mere "flash in the pan," as some of its critics prophesied would be the case, is shown (among other proofs) by the remarkable increase in church membership in the various denominations. The figures have just been given of the results among the Congregationalists. These show that 1905 was one of the most remarkable years in the history of that body. In 1904 the increase was 13,831, of which about 12,000 were the direct fruit of the revival. Last year, however, instead of witnessing a decline in this direction, provided still better results, 21,229 being added to the roll of members, thus making a grand total of 35,060 for these two eventful years. Figures are not everything in religion, but they furnish a guide to wider and deeper results than can be put into words. The fire is still burning brightly in many places.—London Christian.

Mormonism is a menace to the German nation," is the declaration of Miss Maria Lyda Winkler, authoress and representative of the national committee for the suppression of the white slave traffic in Germany, who has been sent to this country by the kaiser to study the problem here. Miss Winkler will form a branch here of the German society to protect the young German immigrant girls from falling into the snakes set for them. A man's sensitiveness usually is in inverse ratio to his service. Bible Institute for Atlanta Bible Institute for Atlanta. Rev. Len G. Broughton, of Atlanta, Ga., has all his plans made to build a great new Baptist tabernacle. He proposes to erect some other buildings all on the same square, one of which will be a Bible training school similar to the Moody Bible Institute, in Chicago. Such a school is already being conducted in a small way, with Miss Blodgett in charge. The tabernacle is to have many stories, and a great deal of institutional work will be carried on. The church is the largest of the Southern Baptist denomination, having about 1,800 members, and a Sunday school of about 1,000. Hopeful Outlook in Japan. Miss Cornelia Judson recently visited several of the cities and towns of Japan, making an evangelistic tour of nearly three months in duration. She writes: "Everywhere I found only hope and great opportunities for work. The Japanese are now ready to listen to Christian teaching as never before. The leaders of the people have laid aside their opposition and are thinking seriously of the need of such moral teaching and training as Christianity alone can give for their young people."

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty.

In appointing his son, Lord Bruce, as his private secretary the earl of Elgin only followed the example of the late William E.

Use "LA CREO THE LAXATIVE OF KNOWN QUALITY There are two classes of remedies; those of known quality and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assistance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting temporarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of 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.

Some visitors from the north attended service at a colored church in Alabama and were much amused when the good old preacher referred to John I. and John II. as "John with one eye and John with two eyes!" But when he gave out a hymn beginning "Purge Me with Hyssop," there was consternation in the choir and great fumbling around for a tune to fit the words.

HOW DEBILITY SHOWS' And Why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Are a Specific for Dangerous Physical Declines. The symptoms of general debility vary according to the cause but weakness is always present, a tendency to perspire and fatigue easily, ringing in the ears, sometimes black spots passing before the eyes, weak back, vertigo, wakefulness caused by inability to stop thinking, and unrefreshing sleep. The cause of the trouble may be some drain on the system or it may be mental or physical overwork, sometimes insufficient nutrition due to digestive disturbance. In the latter case there is generally a loss of appetite and a coated tongue as well as general laugur and debility. Miss Lula M. Metzger, a stenographer, living at 71 Mill street, Watertown, N.Y., suffered for over a year from general debility. "It was caused by overstudy," she says, "and I had no ambition, didn't want to go anywhere, my food didn't taste good, I was run down, lifeless and listless. I took medicines but they failed to help me. Finally friends recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to my mother and she got some for me. I took them for some time and was entirely cured and have had no return of the trouble." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure debility because they actually make new, red, rich blood, and as the blood carries nourishment to all the organs and tissues of the body, nerves as well as muscles, the new blood stimulates the organs to do the work that nature expects of them and normal health follows. Not only is this treatment sufficient to cure debility but many severe nervous disorders as well. The pills are sold by all drugrists, or will be sent postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Send for free diet book.

Memory verses, 67, 68. GLOBE TEXT.—"He is dispised and rejected of men."—Isaiah 53:2. TIME.—The lesson covers a period of several hours, from some time between one and two o'clock. Friday morning till after sunrise April 4. A.D. 30. PLACE.—The palace of the high priest and the hall of the Sanhedrin at Jerusalem. Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 57. "They that had laid hold." The Roman soldiers, who still had the arrested man in charge. "Led him to Calaphas." To the apartment of the high-priest where, instead of in its usual hall, a hastily called meeting of the Sanhedrin was held. "Scribes and elders were assembled." Chief priests also were there, as Mark mentions (14:53). V. 58. "Peter followed him afar off." Peter's trouble came through his following afar off. "Sat with the servants" (or officers). Stood or sat among them as they clustered about the fire in the open court, whence they could see what was going on in the council chamber. V. 59. "Chief priests . . . sought false witness." It was the religious leaders of the people who were prime movers in the trial of Jesus. But what they sought was "witness against Jesus to put him to death," and they had to seek far for witness against One who ever "went about doing good." Then, as now, only those who knew him not could say anything against him. V. 60. "Found none." It was no easy matter to agree upon a charge against the blameless One. "Many false witnesses cane." Unscrupulous persons, by threats or money, could be brought to give such testimony as the judges sought. But the trouble was, the accounts of such men did not agree with one another. Jewish law required that at least two witnesses must agree before one could be convicted of capital offense (Deut. 17:6). V. 61. "Said, I am able to destroy," etc. Read what Jesus had said early in his ministry (John 2:19:21), and note how its whole spirit was altered by this report. V. 62. "The high priest arose." Thus far every effort had utterly failed to bring to light anything against Jesus. Calaphas, forgetting his official dignity, and leaving his official seat, stepped toward the Accused, exasperated by his silence, and determined to make him criminate himself. "Answerest thou nothing?" Jesus had maintained unbroken silence. He "endured the contradiction of sinners against himself" without one word of self-defense. Here, as elsewhere, he is our great example. V. 63. "Jesus held his peace." For perhaps an hour he listened in silence, fulfilling Isa. 53:7. "The high priest answered." He responded to the situation into which he was forced by the persistent silence of Jesus. "I adjure thee by the living God." This was the ordinary formula of administering an oath. The action was illegal and Jesus at first protested against it (Luke 22:67-70). "Tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God." The high priest asked Jesus under oath to testify concerning his claims, first, as to his Messianic vocation, and second, as to his peculiar relation to the heavenly Father. V. 64. "Thou hast said." That is, You have stated the truth. This was equivalent to saying, as Mark renders it, "I am." "Nevertheless." More than this, "Hereafter shall ye see," etc. This would call to mind a well-known prophecy concerning the Messiah (Dan. 7:13, 14). V. 65. "Rent his clothes." This had been originally an involuntary expression of grief, but it had now become a formal act, when one was found guilty of blasphemy. V. 66. "What think ye?" Calaphas appeals to the assembled Sanhedrim for a verdict. "He is guilty of death." The verdict "gilty" was unanimous. He was guilty of blasphemy, hence worthy of death (Lev. 24:16). The council then adjourned to meet at day break. During the interim Jesus was delivered to the care of soldiers and servants of the Sanhedrim, who subjected him to every form of indignity which their brutal instincts could de vise. Vs. 67, 68. "Buffeted him." Struck him with their fists. "Prophesy unto us." They first blindfolded him (Luke 22:64); then called upon him to display his supernatural power by naming the man who struck him. Practical Points. V. 58. We run into danger as soon as we permit the slightest separation between ourselves and Jesus.—John 15:4, 5. V. 59. The world to-day seeks witness of Jesus in the lives of his professed followers.—Acts 1:8. V. 62. A righteous character is the unimpeachable answer to calumny.—1 Pet. 3:16. V. 63. Let us look to Christ for grace to bear reproach in silence.—Heb. 12:3. V. 64. There come times when to remain silent would be treason to the truth.—1 Pet. 3:15. "America" in Many Tongues. At the Fourth of July celebration in Manila, "America" was sung (sometimes in their own language) by Filipinos, Japanese, Chinese, Indians, Germans, French, Spanish, English, Italians, Australians and Americans. RUNNING SORES ON LIMBS. Little Girl's Obstinate Case of Eczema —Mother Says: "Cuticura Remedies a Household Standby." "Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician, for an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physician's prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are a valuable household standby, living as we do, twelve miles from a doctor, and where it costs from twenty to twenty-five dollars to come up on the mountain. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Fairmount, Walden's Ridgé, Tenn., Oct. 13, 1905." Each to His Own Trade. A story is told of a Scotch minister who gave the rural joiner an order to make a small wooden cupboard. When the pastor received the account he complained to the joiner about the amount, and said he could have got a second-hand cupboard, which would have answered his purpose equally well at much less cost. "Yes," retorted the joiner; "and I could buy a guld sermon for threepence; but e'e wadna' care aboot preaching them at that price!"—Stray Stories. A PUBLIC DUTY.

MONKEY PLAYED MANY PARTS. Defined by Customs Men as a Bird, a Handbag and a Dog. On the travels of a monkey from Genoa to Heidelberg an amusing farce might be written. A German gentlemen brought from southwest Africa a tiny monkey weighing barely a couple of pounds. From Tanga to Genoa all went well with the Lilliputian animal. It was a favorite with everyone, and traveled free until Genoa was reached, when its troubles began. Brought under the notice of the Genoese customhouse authorities, it was promptly deprived of its identity. It was no longer an animal; it became a bird, and as a bird, on which 28 cents was charged, it was conveyed to the Swiss frontier, where, at a stroke of the customhouse officer's wand it was transformed into a cat at the increased assessment of $1.56, and borne by train to Zurich. On its arrival there it ceased, as a cat, to exist, and became a mere package—an item of luggage that was conveyed to Constance for the nominal sum of 16 cents. Still as luggage, though metamorphized from a package into a handbag, it went on its way to Stuttgart, where a great honor awaited it. It was, on payment of $2.04, exalted into a dog, and it was as a dog that it ended its journey at the university town of Heidelberg—Stray Stories. IT'S THE FOOD. The True Way to Correct Nervous Troubles. Nervous troubles are more often caused by improper food and indigestion than most people imagine. Even doctors sometimes overlook this fact. A man says: "Until two years ago waffles and butter with meat and gravity were the main features of my breakfast. Finally dyspepsia came on and I found myself in a bad condition, worse in the morning than any other time. I would have a full, sick feeling in my stomach, with pains in my heart, sides and head. "At times I would have no appetite for days, then I would feel ravenous, never satisfied when I did eat and so nervous I felt like shrieking at the top of my voice. I lost flesh badly and hardly knew which way to turn until one day I bought a box of Grape-Nuts food to see if I could eat that. I tried it without telling the doctor, and liked it fine; made me feel as if I had something to eat that was satisfying and still I didn't have that heaviness that I had felt after eating any other food. "I hadn't drank any coffee then in five weeks. I kept on with the Grape-Nuts and in a month and a half I had gained 15 pounds, could eat almost anything I wanted, didn't feel badly after eating and my nervousness was all gone. It's a pleasure to be well again." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. Read the book. "The Road to Welfville," in pkgs. "There's a reason." HURT, BRUISE OR SPRAIN ST.

Income From Abroad. The London Economist states that British capitalists draw an income of $500,000,000 from their foreign investments. Last fiscal year they paid income tax on $330,300,000, as compared with $195,100,000 20 years ago. The largest amount is derived from interest on foreign and colonial government securities and the next largest sum from dividends and interest from foreign and colonial concerns. Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery—Defiance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands. First Flower of Spring. In the northern United States the snowdrop is the only garden flower that we can count on year after year as the earliest sign of spring. Its pendulous white blossoms, with "heart-shaped seal of green" sung by Rossetti often appear before the last snow has gone. Luckily, even city families need not be without snowdrops, for they have been known to thrive in narrow passageways between all houses. Most bulbous plants like the baking hot sun of midsummer in order to ripen their bulbs, but the snowdrop thrives best in partial shade. It blooms earlier if it has a chance at the March sun, but is one of the very few that will flower regularly, though less freely, in dense shade and with a northern exposure.—Country Life in America. Marion Harland. The celebrated authoress, so highly esteemed by the women of America, says on pages 103 and 445 of her book, "Eve's Daughters; or, Common Sense for Maid, Wife and Mother": "For the aching back—should it be slow in recovering its normal strength—an Allcock's Plaster is an excellent comforter, combining the sensation of the sustained pressure of a strong warm hand with certain tonic qualities developed in the wearing. It should be kept over the seat of uneasiness for several days—in obstinate cases, for perhaps a fortnight." "For pain in the back wear an Allcock's Plaster constantly, renewing as it wears off. This is an invaluable support when the weight on the small of the back becomes heavy and the aching incessant." Mysterious Find. She went down to a swell play the other evening, attired in a superb white gown and wearing a splendid opera cloak. In fact, she was stunning. As she seated herself, she was about to remove the long red cloak when with horror and co sternation depicted on her face she discovered something! My, what a predicament! She had prepared supper before leaving for the show, and there, covering the front of the white skirt was a lowly calico checked apron. She managed to remove it after the house had darkened, and the next morning the sweeper at the Colonial found an apron under one of the seats. —Pittsfield Journal. Don't be forecasting evil unless it is what you can guard against. Anxiety is good for nothing if we can't turn it into a defense. —Meyrick. Parisian Meat Supply. The last year for which complete statistics concerning the meat supply of Paris have been published is 1903. From the reports of that year it appears that 267,027 cattle, 274,390 calves and 2,047,750 sheep were slaughtered at the city abattoirs and produced 156,007,580 kilograms (or 327,616,485 pounds) of meat, of which 123,712,180 kilograms (259,795,578 pounds) were consumed in Paris, and 32,292,650 kilograms exported. Some of the choicest of French beef goes to England, where the fillets and other prime cuts are in demand for clubs, hotels, and the best class of restaurants. During the same year there were killed 282,508 hogs, which yielded 27,657,350 kilograms (58,080,435 pounds of pork, and 29,370 horses, which furnished 7,305,650 kilograms (or 15,341,865 pounds) of meat, all of which was consumed in Paris.
