Is Now WHEN WILL T The Negro Press Is Speaking Throughout the Country The Negro Press Is Speaking Throughout the Country The "American Baptist" shells the president and denounces his actions. The Cambridge Mirror denounces the action of Roosevelt. The Chicago Broad Ax is strongly opposed to the action of the president. The Detroit Informer speaks against the action of President Roosevelt. The Rising Sun of Kansas City, Mo., denounces the action of the president. The Wichita Searchlight strikes hard licks against the action of Roosevelt. The Richmond Planet condemns the actions of Roosevelt and the war department in sharp language. The Christian Recorder digs at the president's actions in a mild way, but firmly holds that the president's way is wrong. The Atlanta Independent is utterly opposed to the cheap politics played by Roosevelt in discharging Companies B, C and D. The Interview, of Richmond, Ind, the motto of which paper is "All Men Up," says: "President Roosevelt was as dumb as a clam on the Atlanta riots, where scores of innocent Colored people were murdered in cold blood, but was quick to break his silence by issuing an order compelling the Colored veterans to expose their comrades who ventured to resent unbearable insults or be dishonorably disbanded. The whole navy was sent to Cuba to hold down a few Colored insurgents at the cost of millions of dollars. But not even a sentimental or sympathetic word was uttered in defense of innocent or helpless American citizens at home. Strange logic this. Where is the 'Square Deal' and the 'Dor of Hope' that we have heard so much about when the good president was begging for our votes?" The Dallas Press, one of the best and most widely-circulated papers in the south says: "Mr. Roosevelt has at last shown his hand. He has dismissed a whole battalion of Negro troops in the effort to make the innocent ones 'squeal' on the guilty. Mr. Roosevelt has changed the logic of the centuries and the morality of ages. It has always been held that better let one thousand of the guilty escape rather than punish one of the innocent. Not so with the strenuous one. Let us suppose a case. Where would the president have been if one of the battalion of Colored troops 'squealed?' Could he have on the testimony of that one convicted the re-remainder of the soldiers? Suppose that a majority even had consented to aver that certain soldiers were guilty of the crime at Brownsville, could the president under the law have fixed responsibility and administered punishment? The only reasonable answer is, No. Considering the matter from this viewpoint, it is WRIGH ST.LOUIS,MO.,SATURDAY,NOVEMBER 24,1906. apparent to all rightthinking men that to say the least the president has acted rashly in his decision, and the pity is that there is no remedy for the innocent whom he has consigned to disgrace on account of the acts of the guilty." Negro Soldiers Shed Tears When Dis armed. 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 disturbance 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. Y. M. C. A. Notes. Last Sabbath was a very healthy day at the Association. Rev. T. J. Brown is a great worker for humanity in the service of the Lord. He is the Bible class teacher now. He is a power. Come and hear him at 4 p. m. each Sabbath. Dr. J. L. Griffin gave an excellent lecture on last Sabbath at 5 p. m. Each of us enjoyed the lecture, and it is hoped that it will do us much good while the days are going by. Do not neglect your soul. The noonday prayer meeting at the Association is proving to be of much help to the Association men. God grant that it may. Rev. T. J. Brown is in charge of the noonday services. Next Tuesday evening is ladies' night. The Congregational ladies, headed by Miss Henrietta Momon, will have charge of the programme. It is being whispered around the building that the ladies are preparing to give the young men an agreeable surprise The officers, members and friends of the Association are requested to be on hand at 8. The weather was against us in the grand union mass meeting and rally at the A. M. E. Z. church on the 19th inst. Notwithstanding that fact, the meeting was a remarkable success. A large number of the leading and smaller churches, with a goodly number of of the societies, were present in the person of their representatives. The pastors and heads of societies, who brought good returns to the Association, which we hope to report in next week's notes, by which time we hope to have heard from all churches and societies.

I have a few subscribers; can you take them over the 'phone?' "Well, I think I can. I can take anything on this line except bad money." "All right. Send the papers to No. 6 Beaumont street, 2807 Laclede, 518 S. Ewing ave., 3217 Caroline street, 628 S. Garrison ave., 1547 Gratiot, and also to Evansville, Ind., and Springfield, Ill. That is all at present, thank you." "What is the news in your district," "Oh, it seems as if everyone wants to read the Palladium." "All right; good-bye." "Oh, hello! Here is an 'ad,' Chas. L. Clark of 2315 Market street; he also desires the paper; and the 'ad' of McGregory & Horn, 7547 Gratiot street." Floral Wedding and Bowl Party. A novel floral wedding and bow party was given by Mrs. A. L. Parquette and Miss Vashti F. Lockett at the residence of Mrs. C. C. Carroway, 2809 Lacede avenue, in honor of Mrs. Willie Porter, a sister to Mrs. Carroway. Among those present were Mrs. William Curtaindoll, Mrs. Nellie Bernard, Mrs. Nannie Burgess, of Indianapolis, Mr. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Knowles, Misses Buelah and Carrie Walaker, Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Wright and Messrs. Lous Guest and F. W. Groves. Miss Buelah Walker won the prize in the floral contest. Mrs. Porter left Sunday morning for Chicago, Ill. Gone Back To Chicago. After spending two weeks visiting Mrs. Bailey, of 2842 Laclede avenue, Mrs. Ella Irael returned to her home in Chicago. She was in St. Louis principally on business, but was royally entertained by her many friends while here. She was formerly a teacher in the Elliot Avenue Sunday school, and took quite an interest in the Epworth League. Her beautiful daughter, Miss Ada Watkins, who is attending school in Chicago, will graduate in June. Her mother is also educating her in music. Met Death When Least Expected. Mrs. Hoffman, of 4306 Cattage avenue, was burned and died from the effects. She was one of the oldest citizens of St. Louis. She leaves a husband, son and daughter and many friends to mourn her loss, and the church has lost in her death a good member and an upright Christian. May she rest in peace. Three Are After Her, but the Flower Man Is Ahead Our advice to Lord Overton is: Get papers for your bird, put her in a cage or you will lose out. The man chapel, and the man that brings the flowers; one or the other might get city hall papers first. A hint to the wise is, or ought to be, sufficient.

All St. Louis will be there, as will be the Palladium man. We can not publish a paper on wind, so when you have an ad. printed in The Palladium we want our money and not a whole lot of chin music. The Twenty-fourth infantry infantry, United States soldiers, the second _____, want to see Denny Mack and Warrington, the St. Louis record breakers. Mr. William Gales, the colored cigar manufacturer, should be patronized by all business men. By giving him your patronage it will enable him to employ more help.

Don't miss the entertainment by the Negro Masonic Hall association, for the benefit of the new Masonic hall fund. This is a long-felt need, a respectable entertainment hall for the public and an up-to-date place to meet. Will you be there? Mr. Walter B. Mitchell, of Chicago, was visting Miss Elveola Richardson, of 2609 Market street last week.

Miss Louise Benton, who formerly lived in St. Louis at 2634 Lawton avenue, is living in Chicago with relatives. We hope she will like her new adopted city, but we are of the opinion that she will return to our old St. Louis, for, as the saying goes, "There is no place like home, sweet home." Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Marshall and daughter, Miss Willetta V. Tolles, entertained a few of the Williams & Walker Company and their son, Jas. R. Marshall, who is also a member of the company, at their home, 2925 Belle avenue, on last Thursday evening from 12 to 3 a.m. with a luncheon. Among those present of the company were Misses Alice Clark, of Chicago Ill., and Kashlyn Jones, of Philadelphia; Messrs. George Catlin and Henry Tapley, of Chicago. 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." The ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM Is Recognized As The Leading Afro-American Paper Of The West. NEGRO JUDGE IS DEFEATED Ferdinand L. Barnett, the Negro assistant state's attorney, who, according to police returns, was elected judge of the new municipal court at the recent election in Chicago, has been unseated by the canvassing board. The police returns gave Barnett a plurality of 499, but the official count compiled shows that Thomas B. Lantry, democrat, was elected by a plurality of 304. Barnett was the only republican defeated for a city office. The Natatorium Skating Rink, Friday, Nov. 16, '06. The rink was crowded on the evening of the masquerade, many of our best ladies and gentlemen being present, masked and costumed in all descriptions. In all more than 400 persons were present. Several prizes were awarded. Mrs. George B. Jones was awarded the first prize for being the best and finest dressed lady. The second prize was awarded to Miss Minnie Taylor, for the most graceful skater. Mr. George Nichols and Young Louis Clay received prizes for being most comical dressed young men. The reporter for the Palladium was there and we still *hink that Miss Hattie White*, who was dressed in red and blue, with white stars all over her entire dress, was the most graceful skater. We watched them all for over an hour and in no instance did we see this most wonderful skater falter. The judges surely could not have seen her skating. W tried to get her name before we left, but she did not unmask. The flower of the evening was lil'tie Myrtle Adams. She represented the Palladium and had a scarf made of the headlines of the Palladium. She is a splendid skater and father and mother are proud of their little child, and the Palladium man was proud of his little mascot. Mrs. Effie Chandler was ticket seller, and she had the eyes of an eagle, and when she once sees a person they are in her memory and cannot step in on pass checks. The several officers and members of the firm are working hard to make the rink a place of pleasure for those who like skating. Mr. A. A. Brooks is general manager and keeps things in order, so if you are not a Jim Crow Negro go to Brooks' skating rink. Next week new attractions, commencing Monday and continuing to the 30th. The main feature will be graceful skating and other nice and harmless features. Pythian Temple Crowded. The Sunday concert drew a large audience last Sunday afternoon.

NUMBERS 25,006 VESSELS Of 1,221 Vessels Built in the United States Last Year, Only Three Were Ocean Steamers. Washington—The annual report of Commissioner of Navigation Chamberlain states that on July 30 last the documented merchant vessels of the United States numbered 25,006 of 6,674,939 gross tons. The report urges the enactment of the merchant marine commission bill, which has passed the senate, including the provision for American mall lines to South America. A summary of the report says: "The year's construction was 1,221 vessels of 418,745 gross tons. Only three ocean steamers were built. On the great lakes 40 steamers of 232,265 gross tons were built. The tonnage built during the current fiscal year up to Nov. 19 aggregates 203,000 gross, and if the present rate of construction is not checked by strikes or delays, the output of our shipwards will be the largest in half a century and will be close to the output of 583,000 tons in 1855, the year of our greatest construction. During the year only 12 per cent of the exports and imports of the United States are carried in American vessels." Commissioner Chamberlain publishes a full list of all the vessels in trade between the United States and South America during the first six months this year. An American merchant steamer, he says, is never seen in the ports of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile or Peru. Predicts Ship Building Boom. Predict Ship Building Demos New York—A great improvement in ship building in the United States for the coming year was predicted by Rear Admiral Francis Bowles, president of the Society of Naval Architects, in an address at the opening session of the society's fourteenth annual meeting here. INCOMES OF RAILWAYS The Returns from 220,026 Miles for the Past Fiscal Year. Washington—A preliminary report of the interstate commerce commission on the income account of the railways of the United States for the year ending June 30 last, contains returns from companies operating 220,026 miles of lines, or about 99 per cent of the mileage that will be covered in the final report. The total gross earnings of the roads were $2,319,760,030, being equivalent to $10,543 per mile. Passenger earnings were $618,555.934, or $2,811 per mile. Freight earnings $1,640,942,862, or $7,458 per mile. Operating expenses were $1,532,163.153, or $6,963 per mile. The net earning of the roads were $787,597,877, being $3,580 per mile, and nearly $7,000,000 more than the corresponding amount for the previous year. Income from other sources than those of operating aggregated $132,624,982. The dividends paid amounted to $229,406,598, and taxes $383,208,838. WRECKED DURING STORM A Steamer Found Beached on Coast of Superior, Crew Missing. Detroit, Mich.—A Detroit News special from Marquette, Mich., says: "With her rudder gone, her upper works washed away and her crew missing, the steamer Panama, of the Davidson fleet, has been found beached on Mineral Reef point, 14 miles west of Ontonagon. The wreck lies on an uninhabited stretch of coach, the nearest settlement being Iron River, many miles away. The wreck was discovered by the crew of the tug Tramp. The Panama's tow-barge Matanzas was cast away Wednesday, when the two vessels were laboring in the big storm that swept the lakes. More fortunate than the steamer, the Matanzas kept float until Thursday, when she was sighted near Ontonagon, and towed safely into port. NOT ENOUGH TOWBOATS. Millions of Bushels of Coal Remain in Pittsburg's Harbor. Pittsburg—With many millions of bushels of coal yet in the harbor, shipments of coal to southern markets had to be discontinued here on account of a shortage of towboats. During the last three days about 18,000,000 bushels have been started for the south, and river men hoped that all the coal in the harbor, estimated at 30,000,000 bushels, might be shipped. TRAIN GOES INTO RIVER. Two Killed in a Bad Wreck at Corning, N. Y. Elmira, N. Y.—In the New York Central yards at Corning, a northbound freight collided with an empty engine on the main track. The freight engine and ten cars plunged down an embankment into the Chemung river. Engineer Samuel Doolittle and Brakeman Edward Spencer were killed and Firemen Drake and Baker were badly injured. ROARINROME BOMB EXPLODED NEAR THE HIGH ALTAR IN ST. PETER'S. SAINTS' TOMBS SHAKEN SAINTS' TOMBS SHAKEN Panic Followed, but the Vastness of the Edifice Enabled the People to Scatter, Preventing Rome—A bomb was exploded in St. Peter's Sunday. The edifice was crowded, and an indescribable scene of confusion followed. There were no fatalities. As soon as the echoes of the tremendous roar had ceased, a canon sought by reassuring words to quiet the people, but in vain. They fled in all directions, and a number of women fainted. The church is so large, however, that there was ample room for the crowd to scatter. No trace of the perpetrator of the deed has been found. Since St. Anacletus erected an oratory in 90, A. D., on the site of the present basilica, to mark the spot where the remains of St. Peter are buried, no such dastardly occurrence is noted in the annals of the church. Sunday was the anniversary of the dedication of the basilica to St. Peter, and it was beautifully decorated for the occasion. Holy relics were exposed and a large number of the faithful attended the services. Like a Thunder Clap. As a canon turned to bless the communicants, there was a tremendous roar, which echoed through the lofty arches of the immense dome like a thunder clap. At the same time a dense smoke spread throughout this portion of the basilica, and a strong odor of gunpowder filled the air. Confusion and panic at once seized the people. The canon at the altar tried to stem the tide of fear. He shouted out, "Do not be afraid! It is nothing—merely the noonday gun!" His words had little effect. They were refuted by the smoke, and the pungent smell of powder, and the people continued their headlong flight. Where the Bomb Was Placed. As soon as the smoke cleared away a hasty examination showed that nobody had been hurt in the crush, and furthermore that no one had been wounded by the explosion. Calm was gradually restored, and people returned to view the extent of the damage. It was discovered that the bomb had been placed under a scaffolding that had been erected to facilitate repairs to the roof exactly over the celebrated tomb of Clement XIII, by Canova, which consists of a figure of the pope, and which is the most remarkable piece of sculpture in the basilica. This tomb ranks among the finest efforts of modern sculpture, and by its execution Canova established his reputation. The bomb contained about two pounds of powder and three pounds of nails. Pope Prayed for the Perpetrator. The pope was engaged in his regular noon hour devotions when the bomb went off. He heard a muffled sound which surprised, but did not alarm him. Mgr. Miscatelli, sub-prefect of the apostolic palaces, and Mgr. Bislett, major domo of the vatican, at once hurriedlf entered the pontiff's chamber. Thef were so pale that the pope immediately asked: "What has happened?" "Do not be alarmed, holy father," was the answer. "A bomb has exploded in the basilica, but fortunately there are no deaths to deplore, and no one has been wounded." The pontiff asked anxiously if the church had been injured. Upon being reassured, he fell on his knees, saying he must implore mercy for the misguided perpetrator of the deed. Beveridge Plans to Abolish Child Labor Richmond, Ind.—At a meeting here of representatives of the Young Men's Christian associations of Indiana and Ohio, Senator Albert J. Beveridge stated that on the opening day of the coming session of congress he intended to introduce a bill prohibiting the labor of children throughout the country. He said the child labor bill would provide that no railroad, steamship, steamboat or other carrier of interstate commerce should transport, or accept for transportation produce of any factory or mine that employed children under 14 years of age. President Visits Porto Rico. Colon—President Roosevelt and his party have sailed for Ponce, P. R., on board the United States battleship Louisiana. The president will land at Ponce, Porto Rico, Wednesday. From there he will cross the island to San Juan by automobile for a day's visit to the capital. He will embark at San Juan for Hampton Road on Thursday and expects to reach Washington Tuesday, Nov. 27, in time to spend Thanksgiving day at the White House. Wants New Treaty with Japan Want's New Treaty with Japan. San Jose, Cal.-In an interview, Congressman E. A. Hayes said: "I expect to introduce a resolution at the coming session of congress asking the president to enter into negotiations with Japan for the purpose of making a new treaty between the two countries to settle this question of Japanese immigration in somewhat the same manner as we settled the question with China, which I believe to be the only feasible and sure way of preventing eventually serious trouble." WANT AMERICANS TO GO WANT AMERICANS TO GO GENERAL SPIRIT OF UNREST REPORTED IN CUBA. Leader of the Anti-American Sentiment Declares Cubans May Again "Take Up Arms." Havana—In spite of the fact that Gov. Magoon has received reports from the military commanders in towns that absolute tranquility reigns throughout the entire island, there is a general spirit of unrest abroad, due to the uncertainty regarding the future course of the United States. The liberals are becoming more restless day by day under the indefinite continuance of the government of intervention, the liberal leaders are clamoring that the moderates be ousted from office and replaced by liberals, and they are endeavoring to bring pressure to bear to secure the promise that elections will be head at the earliest possible moment. Threat to Take Up Arms. Gen. Loynaz Del Castillo, the leader of the anti-American sentiment, addressed a liberal meeting and made use of the phrase, "The Americans weigh on the welfare of the republic like a curse." He predicted that if the government of intervention continued for long the patriots of Cuba would again take up arms in the defense of their independence. There is a junta with headquarters at Cardenas which is said to be working under the direction of moderate leaders in New York for the purpose of organizing resistance to liberal influence in the provinces. FORTY-TWO LIVES WERE LOST. Only 37 of the 79 Passengers on Board the Dix Rescued. Seattle, Wash.—Forty-two lives were lost in Sunday night's disaster in Seattle harbor, off Duwamish head, when the little steamer Dix was run down by the Alaskan liner Jeanie. Thirty-seven of the 79 passengers on the Dix were rescued. Of the five female passengers on the Dix, the only one to escape was Alice Simpson, a 15-year-old girl. She is believed to be the only person who escaped from the main deck of the steamer, where more than half of the Dix's passengers were shut in when the fatal crash came. She could not swim, but her clothing kept her afloat until she was pulled aboard one of the two life boats lowered by the steamship Jeanie. It is believed that the 37 passengers who were rescued included every person who was on the open deck of the Dix when the little craft plunged down stern foremost into 100 fathoms of water. It is doubtful whether she can be raised. SECRETARY OF STATE ROOT SAYS Theodore Roosevelt Will Not Accept Renomination. Kansas City, Mo.—Secretary of State Ellhu Root, during an interview, was asked: "Will Roosevelt accept a nomination if tendered him by the republicans?" "No," replied Mr. Root. "He won't. His intention on that score has been definitely and absolutely given out. No, he won't accept it again." "Your name is mentioned a great deal," was suggested. "I am not a candidate and won't be" the secretary replied. STORM WRECKS TOWN. Henagar, Dekalb County, Alabama, Reported Wiped Out. Gadsden, Ala.—A tornado struck the little town of Henagar, in Dekalb county, at daybreak, and not a building was left standing. Stores and houses were reduced to splinters, and families were blown from their beds and hurled into the streets, while everything they possessed was carried away and scattered for miles around. Fifteen buildings were wrecked. A Serious Situation. Memphis, Tenn.—As more detailed reports are received from those portions of Alabama, north and central Mississippi and west Tennessee, swept by the wind and rain, the situation increases in seriousness. Practically the entire district is under water to a depth of several feet, and creeks and small streams are leaving their banks, and many of the poorer white persons, as well as scores of negroes, have been forced from their homes by the rising waters, seeking refuge in many instances in the trees. MRS. DAVIS' WILL. Leaves All to Daughter, with the Exception of Life Insurance. Vicksburg, Miss.—The will of Mrs. Varina, Jefferson Davis, wife of the president of the confederate states, has been filed here for probate. The will leaves to Mrs. Davis' daughter, Mrs. Margaret Howell Davis Hayes, of Colorado Springs, Col., all of the estate, with the exception of $10,000 life insurance. This sum is divided into numerous small bequests. Stops Discharge of Negroes. Washington—Acting under orders of Secretary Taft, Maj. Gen. Ainsworth, the military secretary, has directed that further discharges of the men of the three negro companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry, on account of the shooting at Brownsville, Tex., be suspended pending further orders. The action, it is stated, is in order to await the return of Secretary Taft to Washington, and is pending further advice from President Roosevelt, who has been communicated with on the subject INSOMNIA CURED Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Restored Wrecked Nerves to Normal Condition and Good Health Followed. The sufferer from sleeplessness too often resorts to habit-forming drugs in order to secure the coveted rest. But sleep obtained by the use of opiates is not refreshing and the benefit is but temporary at best. Mrs. H. A. Fletcher, of 59 Bloogst street, Manchester, N. H., is living evidence of the truth of this statement. She says: "I received a shock of an apoplectic character. It was so severe that the sight of my right eye was affected, causing me to see objects double. I was confined to my bed about four weeks, at one time being told by the doctor that I could not get well. When I could leave my bed in I was such a nervous state that I could not sleep at night. I would get up and sit on a chair until completely tired out and then go back to bed and sleep from exhaustion. "I had been under the doctor's care for six weeks when my sister, Mrs. Loveland, of Everett, persuaded me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I began taking the pills with the result that I soon experienced relief. One night soon after taking them I lay awake only a short time and the next night I rested well. From that time I slept well every night and soon got well and strong. I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a number of times, and my niece has taken them for weak nerves and poor blood and found them very beneficial." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured many severe nervous troubles, headache, neuralgia and sciatica as well as diseases of the blood such as anemia, rheumatism, pale and sallow complexions and many forms of weakness. 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 $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.

Defiance Starch is the latest invention in that line and an improvement on all other makes; it is more ec nomical, does better work, takes less time. Get it from any grocer. Japanese Patent Medicines The Japanese, having discovered the possibilities of profit in patent medicines, are extending their markets for them in China, Korea and the south sea islands. With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-walst just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron. Washington Monument Bends. The towering Washington monument, solid as it is, cannot resist the heat of the sun, poured on its southern side on a midsummer's day, with out a slight bending of the gigantic shaft which is rendered perceptible by means of a copper wire, 174 feet long, hanging in the center of the structure and carrying a plummet suspended in a vessel of water. 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. Treatment of Habitual Criminals The New Zealand minister for justice has introduced the habitual criminals and offenders bill, which provides that where a person has been twice convicted of a criminal assault or four times of wounding, robbery or burglary, he may be regarded as an habitual criminal and at the expiration of his sentence detained in a reformatory. After six convictions for vagrancy a man may be treated in the same way. Discharge from the reformatory will be secured only on the recommendation of the court, while the detained offenders will be made to work and wages will be placed to their credit or toward the support of their dependents. Fine Wireless Station. A Berlin writer states that a wireless signal station is now in course of erection at Norddeich for the German government postal authorities, which will have an effective radius of 932 miles, equal to the distance from Naples to St. Petersburg.

NEWS FROM MISSOURL Thanksgiving Proclamation. Gov. Folk has issued his Thanksgiving proclamation, designating Thursday, November 29, as the day when the "people of every class and of every creed are requested to refrain from their usual avocations and assemble in their accustomed places of worship to give grateful acknowledgement to God." The proclamation follows: Missourians should rejoice and give thanks unto the Giver of all good things for the maternal and moral prosperity so bountifully bestowed upon the people of this commonwealth. Lest we forget that we owe our wonderful advancement to the hand of Him, who has been guiding our destinies, it is appropriate that there should be set apart a day of thanksgiving to the Ruler of the universe, for His blessings, showered upon us, as a people. Therefore, the President of the United States, having appointed Thursday, November 29, 1906, that day is hereby designated as a day of Thanksgiving in Missouri, and the people of every class and of every creed are requested to refrain from their usual avocations and assemble in their accustomed places of worship or around their own fireside and give grateful acknowledgement in song and prayer to the God of our nation our state and our hearts, for all that we are, and hope to be. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affirmed the great seal of the state of Missouri. Done at the City of Jefferson this 13th day of November, A. D. 1906. By order of the Governor. JOSEPH W. FOLK. JOHN E. SWANGER, Secretary of State. For School Legislation State Superintendent of schools W. T. Carrington in his report to the general assembly will urge legislation providing for a superintendent of rural schools in each county; for the uniformity of text books, state uniformity preferred, for the inspection of all high schools by the state superintendent and his assistants; for an increase in the required length of term from six months to eight months, if a levy of 65 cents on the $100 assessed valuation will provide it; for a minimum teacher's annual salary of $400 for all the districts that can pay it on a 40-cent levy; of $360 for all districts that can pay it on a 60-cent levy; of $300 for all districts that can pay it on a 65 cent levy. The penalty suggested for failure to comply with any of the requirements of the proposed law is forfeiture of all public monies to the district. To Be Hanged December 21. In the circuit court at Houston, "Jodah" Hamilton confessed to the murder of the Parson family October 12, and the jury promptly found him guilty of murder in the first degree and assessed his punishment at hanging. Judge Woodside set the date for his execution December 21. Aged Negress Dead. Mrs. Lucy Campbell, negress, aged 103 years, died here shortly after she had united with the African Methodist church and had been baptized. She was born in Tennessee in 1803, and during her early life was three times sold as a slave, and once traded by her master to settle a whisky debt, An Epidemic of Diphtheria. The public schools at Avalon, a small town southwest of Chillicothe, and a number of the country schools have been closed on account of diptheria.

A reorganization of the state board of railway and warehouse commissioners will take place early in January when "Rube" Oglesby is sworn in.

The position pays $5 per day and traveling expenses. Minister Wins a Case. A $30,000 libel suit against the Rev. Dr. B. F. Crissman, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church at St. Joseph was decided in his favor by a jury in the circuit court. During a crusade against fake hotels last summer Dr. Crissman caused the house of Mrs. Elva J. Nicholson to be raided by the police. He stated that he had reason to believe that persons of questionable reputation went there. For this she brought the suit which he failed to win. PRESIDENT IN PORTO RICO RECEIVES A WARM WELCOME FROM THE ISLANDERS. Delivered an Address at the City Hall in Ponce—Crosses Island in Automobile. San Juan—President Roosevelt arrived at Ponce from Colon on board the battleship Louisiana. He was visited on board the vessel by Gov. Winthrop, who extended a welcome to the island. The president at once came ashore, and was greeted at the pier by Mayor Oppenheimer of Ponce and a delegation of prominent officials and citizens. The town, which was profusely decorated in the president's honor, was crowded with people from the surrounding country, eager to greet Mr. Roosevelt. "Vive el Presidente!" In spite of the early hour, the landing place was crowded with an expectant throng, many of whom had been in their places all night, to witness the incoming of the Louisiana. As the president stepped ashore the crowd cheered him, crying "Vive el presidente!" When the greetings were over the president, accompanied by Gov. Winthrop, was driven to the city hall, Mrs. Winthrop and Mrs. Roosevelt following. The president was kept busy acknowledging cheers all along the two miles of march from the landing place to the principal plaza of the town. At the entrance to the plaza a huge arch had been erected from which little girls threw flowers to both the president and Mrs. Roosevelt as they passed. The President's Address. The President's Address. At the city hall an address of welcome was read to the president. He delivered his reply from the balcony of the building, addressing the largest crowd that had ever assembled in Ponce. The president said in part: "I shall continue to use every effort to secure citizenship for Porto Rico. I am confident this will come in the end, and all that I can personally do to hasten that day I will do. My efforts will be unceasing to help you along the path of true self-government which must have for its basis a union of order, liberty, justice and honor." In conclusion the president said: "I salute you from my heart as fellow citizens." The reference to citizenship brought out enthusiastic applause from the people. Visits Roosevelt School. Before leaving Ponce the president was driven to the Roosevelt school. Here several hundred school children had been assembled and sang "America" as the president drove up. The cornerstone of this school was laid in April, 1903, by the president's daughter, now Mrs. Longworth. The president was greatly pleased with his reception at the school, and made short address. The presidential party left Ponce at 10:30, the time set by the schedule, for the run to San Juan over the famous military road. Eleven automobiles conveyed the party. Stops of three minutes each were made at Juana Diaz, Coamo and Albonito. At each place the president was welcomed by the mayor and spoke briefly from his automobile. The president received a remarkable reception at Caguaas, the most important town on the military road. Here he spoke at length, reiterating his views on Porico Rico citizenship, Passing through the Caguaas and the Cayey tobacco district, where American capital has worked a wonderful development, the president was greatly impressed with the fertility and flourishing conditions of the plantations. At Caguaas Mrs. Roosevelt was showered with flowers and received many presents. Between towns along the military road scattering crowds eagerly awaited the chance of a fleeting glimpse of the presidnt. San Juan. At Rio Piedras, the last town before reaching San Juan, President Roosevelt received an enthusiastic reception from the school children, and the pupils and teachers of the Porto Rico normal school. To them he spoke facetiously about college life and outdoor sports. Arriving at the original entrance to the city of San Juan, where formerly stood the old city hall and gate, a huge arch had been erected by the city, and here Mayor Todd and the city officials extended their welcome to the president.

We have been publishing the St. Louis Palladium for the past twenty years, and but few written contracts have been made. We have been so fortunate as to not have any misunderstanding with but two exceptions. One was with the Nelson Mfg. Co., which was due to the fact that the written contract was misplaced in our office. This fact was brought to light when our bill was presented, which naturally was ahead of time. In reply they told us of our agreement in the written contract, and upon careful examination of the books we found that we were in the wrong, and fulfilled the contract. The Nelson Co. has an ad at present in the Palladium. The second misunderstanding was in this city, which was adjusted. We are not accustomed to making written contracts. We have always taken a man's word, and should there be a misunderstanding, we have at all times been able to adjust the same, in a gentlemanly manner. That is why we have been successful in our efforts in publishing the Palladium. We shall watch events and hope for the best. Last Tuesday, at a meeting at 2727 Franklin avenue, the question of the dismissal of the three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry was discussed pro and con. All admitted that the order was very damaging in every particular, and by that order the same did not enrich President Roosevelt, but it made the Negro very poor indeed. J. W. Wheeler spoke at some length on this question with much feeling and intimated that no such order could have come from the czar of Russia on his soldiers, after which a meeting was called for next Sunday, when resolution will be introduced in regard to how the Negroes of St. Louis feel about the act of the president. Now that the election is over, and the republicans have won, what will be the part of the Negro when the pie counter is set? Will the Negro be invited to take part, as he took part in the election, or will the Negroes of St. Louis be considered? Will he get any of the plums that he made it possible for the white republicans to enjoy for the next four years? These are questions that must be answered by the republican party in St. Louis, where the Negroes voted almost to a man the republican ticket. What we ask is to treat the 10,000 Negro voters fair at the pie counter. W. T. Vernon. When the national committee sends out speakers to the different states it ought to send out men who can enlighten the people on politics and morality, not men who can not stand the test. If W. T. Vernon, register of the United States treasury, had made a few more speeches in the state of Kansas-the state would have gone democratic. Don't you see? The next legislature that will convene will attempt to Jim Crow the state of Missouri, and the city of St. Louis on street cars. We guess the introducer thinks it is all right, as the three companies, H, B and C of the Twenty-fifth infantry, have been railroaded out of the regular army and Jim Crowed from further service to their country. Isabel and Taylor, two of St. Louis' young men, are doing good business at 1315 Clark avenue. Give them a call. To The Public. To The Public.

The Young Men's Christian association discontinue asking men to do things for them gratis. Men and women, when they are due for their paper, stop running across the street and getting their feet wet, when they see the editor, instead of telling him when they will pay up. When the republicans win, like they have in St. Louis, give some veteran men some positions. You know who was of much service to you during the campaign. The woman in the 5100 block on Lindell avenue stop her visits to Jefferson avenue, or she will get pinched some of these dark nights. The ministers who have large churches not to descend to politics for money, ranging from $30 to $50, as these politicians will tell and call you names, like some have already done. We know whereof we speak. The eagle bird start to flying. The editor seemingly gets his pork chops greasy, and looks as saucy as a kid of ten years. Old boy, take a tumble, won't you? Good Work of Mr Maurace Barnes Mr. Maurice Barnes, of 2739 Wash street, is agent for the St. Louis Palladium. Some years ago we gave him three papers to sell—at that time a paper called the American Eagle, was in his glory. Mr. Barnes sold the Eagle, the Advance and the Palladium, but in due time the ralladium 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 how 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. Laugh It Off.

ROOSEVELT STANDS FIRM Secretary States He Does Not Feel Justified In Longer Delaying Action. Washington, Nov. 21.—Secretary Taft Wednesday morning announced that he has ordered the immediate execution of the presidential order dismissing the negro troops. This action was taken, he said, as soon as he returned to Washington, and learned that President Roosevelt had declared he would not consider the case. A telegram was received from the president at 11 a. m. Wednesday in which he declines to suspend the discharge unless there are new facts of such importance as to warrant cabling him. He states that the action was taken after due deliberation, and that the only matter to which he can pay heed is the presentation of facts showing the original report to be in whole or in part untrue, or clearly exculpating some ind'-lual. If any such facts later appear, he can act as he deems advisable, but, thus far, nothing has been introduced to warrant the suspension of the order and he directs that it be executed. Secretary Taft made the following announcement explaining his determination to carry out the order dismissing the colored soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry: Taft's Statement "In the matter of the order discharging the enlisted men of three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry, issued by the president, application was presented by the secretary of war by a number of persons of standing asking for a rehearing by the president of the grounds on which the action was taken. The secretary telegraphed the president of the application, and delayed the proceedings of the discharge until the president could indicate his wishes. The secretary was in the meantime called out of town. No answer was received from the president. The secretary on his return did not feel justified in further delaying the execution of the order of discharge, especially in view of the fact that the secretary then learned that the president had fully and exhaustively considered the arguments against the order of the persons who now apply for a rehearing. Accordingly, the secretary directed that the proceedings for discharge be continued without delay." A. B.

He had better take care of his child on Laclede avenue and not waste his time at such parties. The agent of the Rip Saw has been sending the same old news every week and it won't go. We must have fresh news every week. Some one must be ripped up the back each week, if it is no one, but yourself. A certain lady who was going to Chicago was asked by another lady how she could afford to go. Her answer was quite pointed, and she said because when I go to card parties my husband goes with me. While collecting last Saturday unfortunately I dropped all my receipts on 28th and Walnut streets. While in the act of picking them up I heard a screeching similar to that of a night cat, saying, "Wheeler, Wheeler." I watched and waited, and all at once they looked out of their window, and such maneuvers as she made with her hands to me, the niggers in the jungles of Georgia would not be guilty of. I have since learned the meaning of the same. Rooms at 409-11-12-13 North Levee. As we chanced to pass the above numbers, we were indeed struck with astonishment as we saw Mr. Wm. Lee, proprietors of these rooms—a club room with all the modern improvements, such as reading room and splendid library, at 409; next, 411, a fine barber shops; No. 412, billiard and pool room; up stairs a large room where clothing is bought and sold, also jewels, diamonds, watches. Really this is almost a department store. No. 413 is a splendid ice cream parlor and restaurant. On the third floor of 409 is a commodious hall, which is rented for all occasions. This is the largest and best to accommodate all occasions. Mr. Lee is a thoroughgoing business man, very accommodating, and when you get acquainted with him you will find one of the most congenial men you could possibly meet. Do not fail to visit his place of business. He buys and sells pianos on the most reasonable terms. Remember the numbers—409-11-12 & 13 N. Levee. INDIANA Providence Baptist Notes. There was a splendid congregation out Sunday morning, notwithstanding the threatening weather, and the pastor preached with unusual fervor. The funeral of Mrs. Celia Perkins, formerly of Cattleville, Mo., was attended at our church in the afternoon at 2 o'clock. This was the first funeral that has been at our church since our occupancy. The entire center pews of the beautiful church were filled with members of the several societies of which she was a member. The vestibule and isles were crowded with friends and visitors. The floral display was in every way beautiful. Resolutions of condolence were offered by the several orders, the choir rendered sweet and solemn music, and she was borne to her last resting place. Mrs. Perkins had promised to unite with our church, but death called her before she had a chance to carry out her desires. Peace be to her ashes and rest to her soul. The Chrysanthemum club met Sunday afternoon and made arrangements for Thanksgiving dinner, and we take this method in tendering the editor of the Palladium and the general public a cordial invitation. All old saints will be remembered with kindness, that may attend. There will be a grand rally in the interest of Berean association at Providence next Sunday afternoon. All pastors and churches are expected to attend. Rev. G. W. Crushon, D.D., pastor of Fifth Baptist church, will be the preacher of the occasion. D.S. begins promptly at 2 o'clock. Clubs Nos. 4, 7 and 9 were a financial success, thanks to our friends. A Sermon to Men. 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. SENNEN POINTERS FOR THE READ (1) THE ST.

For throbbing music which the world's voice thrills; But most for melody which sings, alone— The bird in deepest wood—or song that stills A child to sleep, far from the grand refrain Of Fame's great chorus, chanting tunes well known. Thanks be to Thee, O God! For wondrous beauty which Thou gave the earth, But most for loveliness in barren sod; A green spot in the parch'd grass—the birth Of some pure, saintly life not lived in vain In haunts of wickedness which know not God. Thanks be to Thee, O God! For Autumn harvest men have toiled to reap; For love, for home, for laughter through our tears, But most of all for seeds which, in the sleep Of Winter, wait for sun and Spring-time rain, Holding potential growth for coming years. In the busy rush of living very few people find time to be thankful for or realize the everyday and vital blessings that are ouring in upon them. The Puritans must have recognized this even in their day, when they inaugurated a custom that has become as firmly fixed as the constitution of the United States. While the adherents of the Pilgrim church, which was exiled from England in 1608 and sent a colony over to New England in the Mayflower in 1620, are unquestionably to be credited with our national Thanksgiving day, which appeals so deeply to the heart of the patriotic American, the custom of thanksgiving was undoubtedly suggested by the Hebrew "Feast of the Tabernacles" or "Feast of Ingathering" at the end of the year. Occasional thanksgiving was not unusual in Europe. After the first harvest of the colonists at Plymouth in 1621 Gov. Bradford sent four men out fowling that they might rejoice and celebrate in feasting together. In July, 1623, a day of fasting and prayer was appointed on account of the drought. Rain came while the people were praying and the governor appointed a day for thanksgiving which was observed with religious service. There was a similar change of fast-day into Thanksgiving in 1631, when supplies came from Ireland. All of these earlier appointments, however, were made at various seasons of the year and for special purposes—usually for the timely arrival of ships with supplies—but in later years on account of the harvests. This substantiated a fixed Thanksgiving day late in the fall after the harvest time was over, and also the celebration of the day by first a religious service and then a feast. When the revolutionary war began Thanksgiving had become a national holiday and was annually recommended by congress. However, after the general thanksgiving for peace in 1784 there was no national appointment until 1789, when President Washington by a request of congress, recommended setting aside a day of thanks for the adoption of the constitution. In later years, during the civil war, Lincoln issued a proclamation recommending a special thanksgiving for victory in 1862 and 1863. Since then proclamations have been made by the president and governors of the various states, and custom has fixed the date on the last Thursday in November. It is 284 years since that first Thanksgiving dinner in New England was eaten, but to many of us the aroma of the turkey as we gather around the table, surrounded by family and friends to offer up thanks for the abundance of worldly goods with which our households have been supplied, will recall the legends of the old New England days and review the customs of that Thanksgiving in Plymouth in 1621. With a little stretch of the imagination one can almost discern that throng of sober-looking bearded men, clad in dark colored garments and wearing steeple-crowned hats, with here and there among them the women with quintly shaped hoods and devoid of ribbons, jewelry and ornaments. It was such a gathering as that the Hester Prynne faced when condemned to wear the scarlet letter. Stern and unrelenting—themselves ex- ```markdown ``` A ship sails on the sea under a cloudy sky.

The laws of New England must be obeyed and justice, cruel, swift and certain, fell upon the evil-doer. The genius of a Hawthorne has painted in our minds this picture of the Puritans. The green-clad mountains and the waving trees are brought before us. We sigh for poor Hester and pity the young minister's struggles between manhood and self, while the witch antics of Mistress Hibbins recall vividly those dark days of superstition at Salem. Then has another master hand conjured up for us those scenes—In the old colony days in Plymouth, the In the old colony days in Plymouth, the land of the Pilgrims. land of the Pilgrims. We have followed the courtship of Miles Standish and have heard the message of love borne by John Alden for another. The struggle of the fair-haired youth has been as our own. We have heard him plead the cause of his friend before the "Puritan flower," Priscilla, while his own heart was breaking for the love he would not tell. We have smelled the sweetness of the Plymouth woods; we have heard the brawling of the brook over pebble and shallow at the ford. We have seen the bloom of the May flowers and we have caught the sacred anthem sung by the sweet-voiced malden. Our hearts have gone out to John Alden and we fain would have spoken for him. Then we have laughed, too, when amid her spinning— Archly the maiden smiled, and with eyer overrunning with laughter. Said, in a tremulous voice: "Why don't you speak for yourself, John?" Thus has the immortal poet led us through the paths of love in that quiet New England village. But it was not always the songs of peace that he sang for he tells us how Paul Revere says to his friend: * * * If the British march By land or sea from the town to-night Hang a lantern aloft the belfry arch Of the North church tower as a signa. Through every Middlesex village and farm For the country folks to be up and to arm. In like manner have the songs of Whittier depicted those early days in the land of the Pilgrim fathers. By the magic of his pen he brings clearly to our view the everyday life of that sturdy race. We see the old homes and the farms. In our fancy: Still sits the schoolhouse by the road, A ragged beggar sunning; Around it still the sumachs grow And blackberry vines are running. And then it is an easy step in our reveries to join Ik Marvel, that prince of bachelors, in his reveries over the wood fire in his quiet farmhouse in New England. One almost can see that broad bachelor bedstead now, with the soft warm feathers upon it, and hear the crackling of the oak and hickory on the hearth, between the whistling of the wind through the broken panes of glass. Thus we are led through sweet dream memories to a better understanding and a dearer appreciation of that rugged stock which has been the bone and sinew of this great, strong, progressive American people, and we teach with pride our children and our children's children the homage due to our sturdy ancestors on this great national Thanksgiving day. ```markdown ``` World's Temperance Lesson Sunday School Lesson for Nov.25,1906 Specially Prepared for This Paper. LESSON TEXT.~Isaiah 5:11-23. Memory verse 1. GOLDEN TEXT.~I keep under my body and bring it into subjection~— 1. Cor. 9:27. TIME—Probably during the reign of Alazh, who following a time of great prosperity, had introduced, or favored vice, luxury, idolatry, and intemperance. Alazh began a reign, or Alzh began after the founding of Rome, PLACE—Jerusalem and Judea. A Drunkard's Loss. Our lesson committee directs us to read with this lesson 1 Kings 20:13-21. Here we have an illustration from his history substantiating the words of the prophet before us, about the loss of temporal prosperity by one who indulges in strong drink. About 150 years before Isaiah gave the prophecy in Judah the Syrian king, Benhadad, had come with the 32 tributary kings and a great army, to overthrow and capture the city of Samaria, the capital of the kingdom of Israel. The Israelitish king, Ahab, seemed paralyzed with fear, and was ready to grant all that proud conqueror demanded. But his elders counseled resistance, and then Benhadad boasted that he would pour out upon Samaria so great a host of warriors that if each man were to take but a handful of earth, Samaria would be carried away. "Let not him that girdeth on his armor boast himself, as he that putteth it off," was Israel's answer. The proud monarch, and his kings and generals, gave themselves up to drunken revelry, so sure were they of victory. By noontime the besiegers' camp was a scene of wild debauchery. Then the Israelites, with only 232 young men at their head, rushed out and completely routed the hosts of Syria, and King Benhadad barely escaped with his life. Woes Accompanying Intemperance. 1.

About 82 per cent. of the convicts of the United States privately confess their frequent indulgence in intoxicating drinks. The fact here is to be declared boldly that the intoxicating effect of alcohol prepares the way for the commission of crimes of every kind. Elisha Harris, M. D. The Fall of Ancient Nations.—Historic records of the nations of antiquity are replete with proofs that the chief destroyer of national prestige was strong drink. Assyria was a world power until her early characteristics of manliness, patriotism and morality were sapped by drunkenness and debauchery. She fell before Babylonia and Media. Ere long drunkenness characterized the Median court, which fell before the wine-hater, Cyrus the Persian. Babylon's fall is attributed in Scripture to the same vice (Dan. 5). Then Persia, weakened by wine, passed under the conquering hand of Alexander. But full soon this Greek hero was also overcome by intemperance. Attractive Sin—Sin as a caterpillar is bad enough, but sin as a butterfly is a thousand times worse. On every wing there is a rainbow of light and beauty. The poets call the butterfly "a flying and flashing gem," "a flower of Paradise." But the butterfly is often a caterpillar beautified with wings. It is only a painted worm decked in a velvet suit and adorned with sparkling gems. If sin in its grossest forms be dangerous, what must be the unmeasured power of sin when it puts on the robe of beauty? Sin often wears the wings of wit, the wings of fashion, the wings of attractive names."—Rev. David Gregg, D. D. Copper Popular Copper is the smart material now, and it comes in such attractive guise that it is running silver a close race as favorite for wedding gifts. There are copper candlesticks in quaint design, copper trays of rare beauty and much usefulness, copper jugs and jars in odd and picturesque designs, copper chafing dishes, copper cases, copper lamps, copper incense burners and probably the smartest of all are the copper coffee sets, consisting of pot, sugar bowl and cream pitcher on a tray. These are gold tined. ```markdown ``` 2317 Market St., St. Louis, Mo. Phone: Kin. D-153. M Meets at 310 North 11th. Prince Hall Lodge No. 1, St. Louis, Mo., meets first Monday in each month.

Encouraging news comes from the missionaries of the Irish Presbyterian mission at Damascus in regard to an interesting spiritual movement among the pupils of the Jewish and the Gentile mission schools. Mr. Fransen, an American evangelist who has been visiting foreign mission stations in various parts of the world, recently held some meetings in Damascus for the deepening of the spiritual life. According to the Christian (London), a deep impression was made when he addressed the senior pupils in some of the Presbyterian schools, as well as several public meetings in the church. The senior pupils of the Jewish boys' school attended, and two of them were brought to an open confession of Christ, while all were deeply moved. A general spirit of inquiry came over all the boys of that school, and many came to the teacher to have the Scriptures explained to them, so that it became apparent that the Spirit of God was at work in their hearts. At the same time, Jewish men, hitherto almost unreachable, asked directly for the services of a Bible reader. An equally encouraging spiritual movement is taking place among the boys in the Gentile boys' school at Damascus. One of the Moslems was deeply touched, and the lads made a little meeting among themselves twice a week for Bible reading, prayer, and to hear short religious papers written by one or two of their number. In the Gentile girls' school a similar movement has been going on and we trust will continue to spread throughout this ancient city. The Lord's lambs do not need to look sheepish. ARE HIGHLY ESTEEMED. The Real Status of the Missionary in China. To cite one other proof of Chinese official approval of the missionary enterprise: In the later commercial treaties, rendered necessary by the floxer uprising, foreign missionary organizations are permitted to acquire real estate in all parts of the empire and "to erect such suitable buildings as may be required for carrying on their good work." No similar concession has been made to any other class of alien residents, says Chester Holcombe, in the Atlantic. In many years of intimate official and friendly intercourse with all classes of Chinese in every part of the empire, the writer has never heard even one complaint of or objection to the presence of American missionaries in China, or the character of their work. He has heard himself, and all other foreigners of every nationality and calling, cursed in the most violent terms for having fastened the opium horror upon the Chinese race and the suggestion made, in a paroxysm of anger and hate by some human wreck wrought by the drug, that foreigners "would do well to take away that awful curse before they had the impudence to talk to the Chinese about their Jesus." But, aside from crazed and mistaken denunciation, no Chinaman within his hearing has had anything but pleasant words to speak regarding the missionary enterprise, as conducted by Americans, in his land. You will never find the kingdom by looking for it in a cash box. Future of Christianity: The future of Christianity depends on the faithfulness with which Christians exhibit its pure spirit and exemplify its exalted principles, says Philip S. Maxom, in North American Review. That is a matter which comes home to us all. Our religion must make men and women of the highest character and a social order which is at once benign and just, or it will stand disproved by the judgment of the world as inadequate to the demands of human life; and the fault will not be with Jesus or the doctrines which he taught, but with us. To the Christianity which we have made will be applied—is being applied—the supreme test: "By its fruits we shall know it." The Message. Church Becomes Lighthouse. Church becomes Lighthouse. In Sussex county, Md., the first Catholic church has just been erected. It fronts the sea and has been furnished with a powerful light which serves as a mariners' guide. Canadian Methodists The membership in the Canadian Methodist church is now 317,717, and shows an increase of 25,882 for the quadrennium, most of the increase having been made in the last year. The general conference consists of 264 delegates, comprising ministers and laymen in equal numbers. Will Not Picture the Devil.

Mrs. J. B. Johnson, of 603 West Hickman street, Columbia, Mo., says: "Following an operation two years ago, dropsy set in, and my left side was so swollen the doctor said he would have to tap out the water. There was constant pain and a gurgling sensation around my heart, and I could not raise my arm "Following an operation two years ago, drops set in, and my left side was so swollen the doctor sald he would have to tap out the water. There was constant pain and a gurgling sensation around my heart, and I could not raise my arm above my head. The kidney action was disordered and passages of the secretions too frequent. On the advice of my husband I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. Since using two boxes my trouble has not reappeared. This is wonderful, after suffering two years." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N. Y. Women at Strenuous Tasks. On the western coast of the United States, at Monterey, Cal., Mrs. Fish keeps the lamps lighted in the Point Pinas lighthouse. On the eastern coast, at South Portland, Me., Mrs. Gordon earns her living by working as a deep-sea diver. Sprinkled over the country between these two women are thousands of other members of the female sex who deserve to be enrolled as auxiliaries to Mr. Kipling's corps of "Unafraid Gentlemen." And then, from the woman in Utah who is sheer and hangs murderers, to the woman in Chicago who bosses a gang of Italian street cleaners, he tells the role of women who are engaged in strenuous occupations in the United States. Wherever man has tried to wrest a living from unwilling nature there woman has also left the impress of her daring exploits—Technical World. A Well-Known Remedy. One of the oldest, safest and most favorably known remedies in the world to-day is Brandreth's Pills—a blood purifier and laxative. Being purely vegetable, they can be used by old or young with perfect safety, and while other remedies require increased doses and finally cease acting altogether, with Brandreth's Pills the same dose always has the same effect, no matter how long they are taken. One or two pills taken each night for a while is the best thing known for any one troubled with constipation, indigestion, dyspepsia or any trouble arising from impurity of the blood. Brandreth's Pills have been in use for over a century, and are for sale everywhere, plain or sugar-coated. Big Dividends from Mines. Some remarkable results have been obtained within the last half dozen years by those who had the enterprise and nerve to assist in the development of southwestern copper mines. The Calumet and Arizona mine at Bisbee, Ariz., which is now paying dividends every year of $2,400,000, has made a profit of 3,300 percent in four years to those who bought its stock. The man who put $100 in to assist in the development of the Calumet and Arizona in 1902, now has a holding worth $3,300, which is paying him an annual income of $480—Nearly five times his original investment. — Leslie's Weekly. After Many Trials. Johnny had been fighting. His mother was telling him of the evils of resorting to violence to obtain redress for a wrong. "I don't care," said Johnny, "he took my ball."

COFFEE IMPORTERS Publish a Book About Coffee. There has been much discussion as to Coffee and Postum lately, so much in fact that some of the coffee importers and roasters have taken to type to promote the sale of their wares and check if possible the rapid growth of the use of Postum Food Coffee. In the coffee importers' book a chapter is headed "Coffee as a Medicine," and advocates its use as such. Here is an admission of the truth, most important to all interested. Every physician knows, and every thoughtful person should know, that habitual use of any "medicine" of the drug-stimulant type of coffee or whisky quickly causes irritation of the tissues and organs stimulated and finally sets up disease in the great majority of cases if persisted in. It may show in any one of the many organs of the body and in the great majority of cases can be directly traced to coffee in a most unmistakable way by leaving off the active irritant—coffee—and using Postum Food Coffee for a matter of ten days. If the result is relief from nervous trouble, dyspepsia, bowel complaint, heart failure, weak eyes, or any other malady set up by a poisoned nervous system, you have your answer with the accuracy of a demonstration in mathematics.

The dealers are prophesying that before long the old-time fancy of keeping gamecocks chained with silver chains on the lawns of country houses will be revived—Boston Record. AWFUL SUFFERING. From Dreadful Pains from Wound on Foot—System All Run Down—Miraculous Cure by Cuticura. "Words cannot speak highly enough for the Cuticura Remedies. I am now seventy-two years of age." My system had been all run down. My blood was so bad that blood poisoning had set in. I had several doctors attending me, so finally I went to the hospital where I was laid up for two months. My foot and ankle were almost beyond recognition. Dark blood flowed out of wounds in many places and I was so disheartened that I thought surely my last chance was slowly leaving me. As the foot did not improve, you can readily imagine how I felt. I was simply disgusted and tired of life. I stood this pain, which was dreadful, for six months, and during this time I was not able to wear a shoe and not able to work. Some one spoke to me about Cuticura. The consequences were I bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies of one of my friends who was a druggist, and the praise that I gave after the second application is beyond description; it seemed a miracle for the Cuticura Remedies took effect immediately. I washed the foot with the Cuticura Soap before applying the Ointment and I took the Resolvent at the same time. After two weeks' treatment my foot was healed completely. People who had seen my foot during my illness and who have seen it since the cure, can hardly believe their own eyes. Robert Schoenhauer, Newburg, N. Y., August 21, 1905."

SUGGESTIONS REL Miss Nellie Holmes While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. This is a severe strain on a woman's vitality. When pain exists something is wrong which should be set right or it will lead to a serious derangement of the whole female organism. Thousands of women have testified in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound overcomes woman's special pains and irregularities. It provides a safe and sure way of escape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases. The two following letters tell so convincingly what Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will do for women, they cannot fail to bring hope to thousands of sufferers. Miss Nellie Holmes, of 540 N. Division Street, Buffalo, N. Y., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "Your medicine is indeed an ideal medicine for women. I suffered misery for years with painful periods, headaches, and bearing-down pains. I consulted two different physicians who get at my relief. A friend from the east advised me to try Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did so, and no longer suffer as I did before. My periods are natural; every ache and pain is gone, and my general health is much improved. I advise all women who suffer to take Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound."
