Hancock, pastor of Rock Springs Free Baptist church, began a revival January 1, 1907, at 3932 Papin street. The interest seems to be great, a large number having come forward for prayer. The meetings will continue several weeks and every one is invited to attend. Rev. Hancock took charge of this church two years ago, and has done a great work. There have been 89 added to the congregation; the church repaired and the debt paid off, and we feel he is much needed in this city. God grant that we had more such men CITY NEWS.

LOUIS NEGRO'S ADVICE TO HIS RACE. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 5.—Knowing the trials an d tribulations of my people (the Negroes), which have caused them to labor under so many disadvantages continuously ever since their advent into this country, I feel it my duty to say something by way of advice which I think will be very helpful to them in the future, and at the same time be of some value to the public. In order to show to the world who the Negroes are, it is best to apply the rules of the painter, and that is to paint them first; white then red, and so on, until all of the different colors have been applied, then some of them would have a most beautiful color, I am sure, while others would be black, and some would be less so. What I mean by that is simply this: Let the world know what the good, true and law-abiding Negroes are doing, and what the worthies and lawless ones are doing also. In order to do this successfully, it will be necessary to give some statistics which will show what the better clas has done in the last forty years, which demonstrates the fact that some of the Negroes of to-day are as far ahead and above the Negroes of fifty years ago as the east is from the west, or silk above cotton. The following will show how a few of them stand in the commercial world, as well as the business and financial world: There are 0,204,531 Negroes in the United States. These Negroes own 75,000 farms in the south. There are 21,000 Negro carpenters, 20,000 barbers, 18,000 doctors, 16,000 preachers, 15,000 brick mascons, 12,000 dressmakers, 10,000 engineers and firemen, 5,000 shoe makers, 4,000 musicians, 2,000 actors and showmen, 1,000 lawyers. They own 31 banks, 21 in the south and 10 in the north. They own stock in railroads, and have one society that is capitalized at $1,500,000. There are ten towns, north and south, that are owned and governed by Negroes. They have $10,000,000 worth of church and school property, are paying taxes on $200,000,000 worth of property and are buying homes rapidly. They own 250 drug stores and about 1,800 grocery and other stores and various other business, and there is a move on foot by a certain society to start a large mercantile business in St. Louis in the spring. Hence it can be clearly seen from the statistics given that some of the Negroes are keeping pace with the times, making men and women of themselves, the equal of any other race. Such as these only ask justice and fair play from the whites—they do not ask social equality, but social and political equality, which is guaranteed by the nUited States constitution. Now, there is a worthless class of Negroes (of course none the les than some of the whites), who live in the dives and slums of the cities, north an dsouth, east and west, and are a menace to the Negro race. They have learned to make their living by steling, robbing, gambling, etc. These things, I am sure, hurt the race. This class of Negroes have not got anything, and in fact don't want anything. They had rather be in jail (some of them) than to be out. They care not a thrip for their-race, nor for honesty or decency. In many instances the whites charge the good Negro up for what the bad one does, and sometimes innocent blood is shed when mob law reigns. There is another class of Negroes that work hard day after day and year after year and are very honest, etc. b uthey don't seem to get along well. The fact is this: They spend their money just as fast as they get it for clothes, in theaters, winerooms and various other ways. They know not the value of a dollar. They live in rented houses, and if they were to get sick they would not be able to pay a month's rent in advance. But, taking this clas as a whole, they are far better than the last class I spoke of. I have shown the Negro or Negroes just as they are and have painted them in their right color, leaving the public the privilege to judge for themselves whether I have made any misstatements or not—taking into consideration the fact that the Negroes are human and are subject to temptations, sin and degradation just the same as any other race. When he or they violate the law, give them a fair trial before a court of justice, and if the yare found guilty punish them just the same as you would any other criminal. But whenever they are taken up and lynched just because they are black it shows very clearly that those who take part have no regard for law, decency or anything else. Now, I want to say a few things to my people all over this country, which, if followed daily, will serve to lessen our troubles, possibly, in the future. Obey the law, live upright, be honest, stand up for good character, let the white people and their affairs alone. If any of you have been in the habit of stealing, lying, gambling, robbing, murdering, or committing any bad crime, for God's sake, stop it, and live as honorable citizens, and go to work and make men and women of yourselves. Don't harbor criminals around you, be they relatives or anybody else. Always give a leading hand to the officers of the law in running down criminals and evildoers, and at any and all times show yourselves worthy of the confidence and respect of the white people. Always protect a lady, be she white or Colored. Live on peaceable terms with everybody. Keep out of trouble. Don't go around with chips on your shoulders looking for some one to knock them off so you can have a fight. Remember the saying, "Wise men for peace, and fools for war." Get out of the dives and dens and go to work, because there is plenty of work for everybody. If there were more people at work there would be less criminals. I would advise the preachers to preach these things to their congregations, from time to time; if so, the chances are that there would be less crime committed and better feeling created among the races all over this country. A. W. WASHINGTON. Wild Rose's Club Annual Banquet. The annual banquet of the Wild Rose club took place at Mrs. George Claxton's, 2219 Walnut street on the evening of December 25, 1906.

Shephard, 6315 Idaho street, black taffeta silk; Mrs. J. F. Herbert, 4348 North Market street, gray silk voll over white taffeta silk; Mrs. S. E. Smith, 2623 Baldwin street, light gray silk mull; Mrs. M. Weaver, 3227 Caroline street, white satin foulard; Mrs. George Claxton, 2219 Walnut street, blue silk crepe de chine; Miss W.

The husbands of the lady members were in full dress, wearing pink carnations, the club colors. At the hour of 11, Mr. Officer, at the request of the club, presented the many invited guests with a short address and New Year greeting, and all partook of the annual feast. The event was one to long be remembered. The evening was passed in dancing and playing whist. Two o'clock was the parting hour of the sixty invited guests, other than the club members, which was a climax of joy, as they bid each other good-will and wished each other a happy new year. During the year 1906 the club accomplished much in the social world, and began their new year socials at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. M. Weaver, 3227 Caroline street, New Year's evening, January 1, 1907. Let Members and Officers of Other Temples Attend to Their Own Business. We wish to say that Sister Lucy True, of St. Louis, is appointed over the temples in South Missouri, and we trust that the busy-body or meddling members of other temples will stay at home and attend to their own business, if they have any. Sister True is subject to the grand master, and what she does she is responsible only to him, and we believes that she understands the law and the working of our Order of the S. M. T. School Concert. The pupils of Attuck's school will give their annual concert and exhibition at True Reformers Hall, Tuesday evening, January 29th. Let all members of U. B. F and S. M. T., be out on January 23, 1907. $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents: DEAD BEATS The Dead Beat Society and the "Elights" of St. Louis are now holding a convention.

Wanted a good house keeper without children or a husband, at 810 N. 8th Street. ists, Telep LE DIES IN HOSPITAL. JOSEPH ASBROOK PASSES AWAY AT JACKSONVILLE. HIS WIFE WAS UNFAITHFUL Shelbyville Young Man Was Wedded to St. Louis Woman, Who Is Said to Have Taken His Money and Turned Him Out Joseph Asbrook, who was sent from Shelbyville to the insane hospital at Jacksonville several weeks ago with the hope that speical treatment would restore his shattered mental power, died at that institution at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon. On June 30, 1906, Joseph Asbrook led to the hymenal altar Miss Leona Hopson, a teacher in one of the schools for Colored children at St. Louis. The young couple started out in their new sphere in life with the brightest prospects. Supreme and lasting happiness seemed to be their future. The husband idolized his wife and trusted her implicitly in everything. The wife seemed to return the confidence that was imposed on her by her liege lord. Alas, when the biting winds of autumn came, bringing down the seared leaves of oak and linden, it is said the woman's love paled. The husband brooded over the turn of affairs in his little household. The wife's affections at last became cold, and it is said she went to a bank and drew out $1,200, the life savings of her husband, and, returning home, ored him from the house. The heart-broken man came to the home of his parents in this city. When he arrived here it was noticed that he was melancholy and seemed afraid that some unseen enemy was attempting to poison him. He finally became violent and was taken to the insane hospital for treatment. Joseph Asbrook, the fourth son of Mr. and Mrs. S. Asbrook, was born in Windsor, November 13, 1875. At an early age he was baptized in the A. M. E. church in this city. He was an ambitious, upright young man. His moral character was beyond reproach. His seemingly untimely end is regretted by a large circle of friends. The remains arrived in Shelbyville Monday. The funeral was held Tuesday—Exchange. An Auspicious Opening. The beginning of the new series of Sunday concerts at Douglass hall, Sunday afternoon, gives promise of a very successful career. A large audience witnessed the eorts of Prof. Blue and his band and gave abundant evidence of their appreciation of the same. There will be special attractions each Sunday in the shape of short, ethical talks and vocal musical numbers. Competition. At Orphans Academy last Friday night, handsome photographic souvenirs were presented. A number of young ladies are competing for the diamond ring and gold watch to be awarded Friday evening, February 1st, to the two most popular. The prizes may be seen in the window of Wm. Knight's jewelry store. The Douglass Hotel, corner Beaumont and Lawton avenues, St. Louis, Mo. The largest hotel in the west for colored people. Neat and clean, electric lights and steam heat.

Weatherford and M. E. Brooks. St. Louis Palladium. J. W. WHEELEER, Editor and Managers No goods that bear a trademark in any way resembling a crescent can be landed in Turkey. An American author has very truly said: "Education does not change a man's blood nor his heart." Recognition of merit in others is often a very good way to secure recognition of merit in ourselves. San Francisco is said to have $4,000,000 of the relief fund still on hand. Evidently the grafters did not come to the relief of the fund as rapidly as they might have done. The Chicago preacher who wants to have Christmas abolished, says the Washington Post, probably has enough slippers on hand to last him for the rest of his natural life. A Paris paper devoted to scientific subjects announces the discovery of a workable method of shielding watches and clocks from all magnetic influences. It is said to be the work of a watchmaker named Leroy. Queen Wilhelmina shipped some cows from Holland for her husband's estate in Mecklenburg-Schwerin. But they were stopped at the German frontier under the law forbidding the importation of foreign cattle. Chrysanthemums are good to eat—that is, the leaves of the big, bushy flower, much like a beautiful cabbage, make a good salad if they are properly prepared. In fact, the dish is one that is highly prized by the Chinese. The duchess of Connaught, wife of King Edward's brother, is said to be very rich and very stingy. The two usually go together. But do people become rich because they are stingy, or do they get stingy because they become rich? asks the Kansas City Times. Submarines are uncanny vessels. They have shown their capacity for drowning their crews in peaceful maneuvers, and, as an English paper puts it, in time of war they are cowardly weapons, for they strike below the belt. There are those who believe that submarines should be ruled out of "civilized" warfare, and that the floating mine should go with them. The picturesque Chinatown of Pacific Grove will soon be a thing of the past. The site has been given to the University of California by the Pacific Improvement company, and a biological laboratory will soon be located there. Professor Loeb is to be at its head, and there will be erected a group of buildings costing about a quarter of a million, and accommodating 400 students. Engineers have never doubted the possibility of transmitting power from the Victoria Falls of the Zambesi river to the great gold fields of the Transvaal, 750 miles distant, but they have questioned the economic soundness of such an undertaking, on a commercial scale. Nevertheless, contracts have been let which show that the work will be undertaken. It is the most extraordinary electric power scheme ever attempted. It is grievous to find Sir Thomas Lipton telling his fellow-Britishers that we are so tremendously prosperous over here that we have absolutely no regard for the value of money, and that no business man ever thinks of counting his change at our hotels, restaurants or elsewhere. It is anything but complimentary to our people, though quite likely Sir Tommy doesn't mean to be unkind. He makes us all almost as ridiculous as rich Americans travelling abroad. The auto may win fresh triumphs. An enthusiastic motorist won some fame recently by making a tour which carried him well up toward the frozen north, and now Henry Arctosky, an Antarctic explorer, has invented an automobile to be mounted on runners by which he believes he can reach the South Pole more easily than by any other means. Perhaps Peary, in his search for the North Pole, may yet have to substitute the auto for the dogs which he hitherto has used for transportation and food purposes. Last year several dozen splendid butterflies were set free in London parks with a view of furnishing a new attraction for promenaders. The experiment succeeded so well that this year it has been extended, and a butterfly farm has been established near the British metropolis, where the most brilliant tropical insects of this family are cultivated, with the intention of supplying them to parks in the summer time. It is said that 20,000 were released in the various London parks this summer, and that 40,000 chrysalises were under cultivation at the "farm" at the beginning of the season. Prof. H. W. Wiley, of the department of agriculture believes that the stalks of sweet corn might be made to yield sugar of the best quality. They contain much more sugar than those of the common field corn, and the sugar content is at its maximum when the ears are pulled. There is in India a large element of wealth which is wholly inactive. The hoarded wealth in the form of ornaments, jewelry and buried treasure has been estimated at many millions. It is largely held by princes, rafahs and other nobles. PISCOPAL ADDRESSES Bishop of the A. M. E. Church and Post Office Addresses. RT. REV. B. W. ARNETT, D. D. Wilberforce, G. RT. REV. WESLEY J.

WILL NOT VISIT FRISCO Fear That Its Presence in the Golden Gate Harbor Might Occasion Renewal of Anti-Japanese Tokio—The Japanese government has decided that on account of anti-Japanese agitation on the Pacific coast that the training squadron will not visit the Pacific coast, but will go as far as Honolulu only. Member of Japanese Legation Taiks, Washington—Mr. Masanao Hanihar, second secretary of the Japanese embassy, sald that Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassador to the United States, has not been officially notified of the Tokio government's decision not to allow the training squadron to proceed to San Francisco. he visit of a Japanese fleet to the Pacific coast at this time," said Mr. Hanlhar, "might occasion a renewal of the controversy, and as the Japanese government is desirous to maintaining the present cordial relations with this government, it has been considering for several weeks the advisability of postponing the visit of the fleet to the Pacific coast. The Japanese consul at San Francisco has made no report to the ambassador, though it is possible that he may have communicated direct with Tokio." California Congressmen Discuss It. California Congressmen Discuss It. Washington—Members of the California delegation to congress, in discussing Japan's decision to abandon the proposed trip of the training squadron to the Pacific coast on account of the anti-Japanese agitation, expressed the opinion that San Francisco would have extended a welcome to the fleet. Representative Kahn, of San Francisco, suggested the action of the Tokio government may have been on advice of the Japanese consul general at San Francisco. "I think," said Mr. Kahn, "that I know the people of California well enough to say that the great masses of the population would resent any harm that might be done the Mikado's seamen should they visit San Francisco. The training squadron would certainly be as safe in the bay of San Francisco as it would be in a home port." TOBACCO TRUST QUILTY The Jury Acquitted the Individual Defendants. New York—The United States circuit cuit jury considering the tobacco trust cases returned a verdict of acquittal as against the individual defendants, Karl Jungbluth and Howard E. Young, and a verdict of guilty against the corporate interests, the MacAndrews & Forbes Co. and the J. E. Young Co. The corporations were guilty on two counts, one of forming an illegal combination and the other of being a monopoly. The corporations were acquitted on the count charging conspiracy. A fine of not more than $5,000 or less than $1,000 can be imposed for each violation of which the corporations have been found guilty. The Senate Passes Railway Employees' Bill. Washington—By a vote of 70 to 1, the senate passed a bill providing that railway employees engaged in handling trains shall not work more than 16 consecutive hours, which period is to be followed by ten hours off duty. The one negative vote was cast by Senator Pettus. The bill provides that under certain contingencies, and in cases of accident, the time fixed may be exceeded. The enforcement of the law is placed in the hands of the interstate commerce commission, and the federal courts, the penalty provided being a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000. The act is to apply to trains doing an interstate or foreign commerce business. WILL ASK FOR MILLIONS Penn. Ry. Wantsc $100,000,000 More Capital and Same Amount of Bonds. New York—Stockholders of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. will be asked by the management of that company to authorize the issue probably of $100,000,000 additional capital stock and $100,000,000 in bonds. The question will come before the stockholders at their annual meeting on March 12, according to an announcement made by the management. William Alden Smith Won Lansing, Mich.—Congressman William Alden Smith, of Grand Rapids, was nominated to succeed United States Senator Russell A. Alger.

AGAINST GOULD INTEREST RON FURNACE BELCHES OUT MANY TONS OF METAL. Three Found Dead, Seven Fatally Injured, and Only One of 35 Escapes to Tell the Story. Pittsburg, Pa.—Three workmen killed, seven fatally injured and 24 missing is the result of an explosion at the Eliza furnaces of the Jones & Laughlin steel works. Gas accumulating at the base of the furnace became ignited. In the resulting explosion tons of modern metal were showered around the furnace for a radius of 40 feet, overwhelming the workmen in a fiery flood. While the mill officials are inclined to believe all the missing men were not cremated in the molten metal, nothing definite is known as to their whereabouts. Only one man, George Knox, has appeared since the explosion. He says everything happened so quick that he doubts whether the men escaped. Story of Probably Only Survivor. George Knox, the only man believed to have escaped uninjured, said to a reporter: "The furnace is one of the improved style, and 35 of us were working about, never thinking of an explosion. Suddenly there was a terrible roar, and molten metal was thrown every place. Streams of it were running in all directions, and I was confronted with an awful death unless I could run faster than the metal could travel. I don't know what happened to the other men. If they did not run quick and fast all are certainly buried under six feet of molten metal." State of Missouri Sues to Force Disolution and Revocation. Jefferson City, Mo.—Suit to dissolve the alleged merger of the Wabash, Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain railroad companies and the Pacific Express Co., and to revoke the licenses and charters of the Pacific Express Co., the American Refrigerator Transit Co., the Western Coal and Mining Co., and the Kansas-Missouri Elevator Co. have been filed in the supreme court by Atty.-Gen. Hadley. The petitions allege that the stock of all the companies named is owned by the same interests, the Goulds, in violation of the constitution and laws of Missouri. Absolute revocation of all right and forfeiture of charters is asked of the court in respect to all the defendants, except the railroad companies, and an order dissolving the merger is asked in respect to the railroads. The forfeiture of their rights is asked in case they do not discontinue connection with other interests, "Hadley Lives in Missouri."—Gould. New Orleans. George J. Gould, when told here of Atty-Gen. Hadley's sult, said: "About the only thing I can see is the fact that Mr. Hadley failed to include International & Great Northern and the Texas & Pacific railways. He ought to have known these were Gould interests also. "Well," he continued, "Mr. Hadley may be right. He lives in Missouri, the state where people have to be shown. "He will find that nearly all the stock owned by the Pacific Express company and the coal mines mentioned are not Gould interests." "Sounds Like H. H. Rogers"—Hadley, Columbia, Mo.—When informed of the comment of George J. Gould or the ouster proceedings filed in the supreme court, Atty.Gen. Hadley, who is here, said: "The only reply I desire to make is that Mr. Gould's statement sounds like H. H. Rogers. It is not worthy of consideration." MOB HANGS AN OLD MAN Killed Wife and Stepson at Charles City, la. Charles City, Ia—James Cullen, a white man, was lynched here for killing his wife and stepson. A crowd of more than 1,000 men battered through the walls of the jail with steel rails to get to their prisoner. Dragging him through the streets, the mob took Cullen two blocks from the jail and hanged him from the bridge over the Cedar river. TO INVESTIGATE BAILEY.

Missouri Legislature The following resolution is directed at lobbyists and shows that this session of the legislature is to be as free as possible from lobby influences: "Be it resolved by the house of the Forty-fourth general assembly of the State of Missouri, That the doorkeeper is hereby authorized and instructed to appoint one assistant, at $3.50 per day, whose station shall be at the door of the main entrance to the hall of the house of representatives, and whose duty it shall be to allow no person to enter the hall while the house is in session except those entitled to the floor under the rules of the house "Be it further resolved, That the sergeant-at-arms be and is hereby authorized to appoint one assistant at $3.50 per day, whose duty it shall be to eject all persons found in the hall not entitled to the floor; and that this rule is especially applicable to all lobbyists, whether in the interest of railroad companies or other special interests, or to those interested in the management and appropriations for state institutions. "And the said assistant is hereby instructed and commanded to eject and expel by request, or force, if necessary, all parties found in this hall violating the provisions of this resolution." Speaker Atkinson, of the house of representatives, on Wednesday announced the standing committees of that branch of the general assembly. Not a chairmanship was given to the $ ^{S} $ Louis members, but it was at their own request. Every candidate for speaker of the house of representatives gets a chairmanship of some committee, and the other democratic members of the house are taken care of by appointments on important committees. Representative Simmons, who was the most formidable opponent to Speaker Atkinson in the race for the honor of presiding over the house at this session, is named at the head of the committee on ways and means. Wallace Crossley, of Johnson county, heads the committee on education and public schools; Representative Houston, of Cass county, will preside over the committee on private corporations, and Representative H. F. Stapel, of Atchison county, heads the committee on the Jamestown exposition. Speaker Atkinson, in making his selections, stated that he hoped they would prove satisfactory to all of the members, as he had made his selections without fear, favor or affection. No republican is placed at the head of any committee, but they are given representation in each. There was a big slump in the number of bills introduced Wednesday, only twenty-eight proposed measures being sent in by the members. Some covered propositions already incorporated in other bills, while the majority were local in nature. The second reading of bills was carried out Wednesday for the first time this session, and the first thirty which were returned from the printer were read and referred to the respective committees. A bill to increase the salaries of marshals of the supreme and appellate courts from $4 a day to $2,000 a year was offered by Representative Woods of Howard county. Under the present law the marshals are paid only for the time that the court is in session. Representative Woods also introduced a bill compelling witnesses to answer all questions put to him concerning gaming, provided that the testimony cannot be used to convict the witness. Representative Whitaker of Hickory county proposes to fasten on the lid tighter than some of the measures already introduced provide. He would require all druggists and merchants other than dramshop keepers who deal in vinous and spiritous liquors to pay the same license as a dramshop keeper. Representative Shope of Kansas City introduced a garnishment bill providing that a person's salary shall not be garnished for more than the last thirty days of his employment. Bills providing for compulsory education of youth and prohibiting the employment of children of a certain age during school hours, were introduced by Representative Johnson of Pettis county. Representative Letterman of Maries county offered a bill increasing the school term from six to eight months. Additional precautions are being taken to exclude the corporate influence from the legislature. In addition to the anti-lobby and anti-pass bills which are now pending, it is proposed to exclude employees of officers of corporations from the right to sit as members of the Genera: Assembly The committee on clerica: force sub- Cape Girardeau, Mo.-The Frisco passenger train of the St. Louis-Cape Girardeau division, which left St. Louis Wednesday night, was wrecked near Neelys, 20 miles north of here, and several passengers were injured, among them H. H. Woods, manager of a local music house, and Conductor W. T. Howard, of St. Louis. The track had been weakened by heavy rains, which caused the rails to slide. Eighteen hours after the wreck the train was started across the weakened stretch. mitted a report that there should be eighty-two clerks at $3.5 per day to work on the enrolling and engrossing force of the house and eighteen in committee service. Five stenographers, ten doorkeepers and ten pages are also provided for. Representative Casey of Kansas City introduced a bill in the house appropriating $3,000 for the printing of the proceedings of the constitutional convention. The convention was held in 1875. THE SENATE The standing committees announced in the senate Wednesday morning by President Pro Tem. McDavid are regarded as about the best that body has had in many years. Seemingly, everybody is satisfied. As the democratic leader in the senate, he was empowered by the democratic caucus to arrange these committees, a privilege that would have been accorded the lieutenant governor had he been a democrat. Senator Fields, of Linn, heads the judiciary committee, regarded as the most important of all. Associated with him are the strongest men in the senate. This committee will have charge of trust legislation, as well as many other important matters. Senator Ely, of Dunklin, is chairman of the criminal jurisprudence committee, which is composed of strong men. This committee will have charge of the criminal laws and also dramshop legislation. The St. Louis members fared well in the make-up of the committee. Senator Klnney, who is the only democratic senator from St. Louis with legislative experience, is chairman of one committee and a member of five other important committees. He is chairman of the committee on penitentiary and a member of the ways and means, election, insurance, labor and engrossing bills committees. Senator Methudy, of St. Louis, introduced a bill in the senate Wednesday under which, should it become a law, there will no longer be any such thing as the legal recognition of common law marriages. Senator McAllister introduced a bill in the senate Wednesday extending the parole law so as to permit all persons with a previous good character, who are convicted of their first crime, to be paroled by the trial judge, pending their good behavior. Under the present law, the parole system only extends to persons under 25 years of age who are convicted for the first time. Through a bill presented in the senate Wednesday by Senator McAllister, it is proposed to permit surety and guaranty companies to furnish bonds for executors and curators. The cost of this bond may be paid out of the estates. Three of the measures recommended by Governor Folk in his message to the legislature appeared in the senate in the shape of bills. They were the anti-lobby bill, introduced by Senator Dorris; the state primary election law, presented by Senator Fields, and insurance legislation preventing rebates on the part of the insurance companies, offered by Senator McDavid. Senator Cooper of Kansas City is the author of a bill amending the maximum freight-rate law of 1905, which has been in litigation ever since it became a law, that provides strong penalties on railroads violating the rates. Senator Avery of Lincoln thinks that every railroad company owning, controlling or constructing railroads in this state should file articles of incorporation with the secretary of state under the general corporation laws. He introduced a bill to this effect. Governor Folk sent to the senate the appointments of Judge Louis Houck and Leon Alberts, regents for the Cape Girardeau state normal for a period of six years each. Senator Fields offered an amendment to the legislation in the senate which provides for the imposition of a road improvement tax of 25 cents on the $100 valuation. Senator Brown, of Cass county, has prepared an amendment to the constitution, providing for paying members of the legislature an annual salary of $1,000 to be drawn quarterly. He believes that the time has now come in Missouri when the $5 a day limit for seventy days should be numbered with the past. Only once in ten years, during revising sessions, are the members of the legislature entitled to $5 a day for more than seventy days. When the laws are revised the limit is 120 days. The state game and fish law has already been the subject of several measures proposing various changes not in accordance with the wishes of the author of the measure, Mr. Walsmley, of Kansas City, who does not want any change made in the law—at least nothing that will tend to lessen its severity and scope. Doctor Alonzo Tubbs, of Gasconade, wants the house to go on record as favoring a deep waterways for the Mississippi river from the lakes to the gulf, and to so notify the United States senators and congressmen of this state. Riet Hill, Mo.-William Maurer, of the firm of Mauer Bros., bakers and confectioners of Rich Hill, met death on a farm owned by the firm a few miles south of the city. Assisted by James Seifers, who lives on Mr. Maurer's farm, they were engaged in knocking loose some braces from the supports upon which a huge water tank was elevated, when the props gave way and the heavy wooden tank, filled with water fell upon Mr. Maurer. Deceased was 22 years old. He was a member of the Woodmen and Elks. Fire in a State Institution. Marshall.-Fire started in the laundry of the Missouri colony for the feeble minded at this place. The fire was caused by the explosion of a gasoline tank situated in the laundry, which caused the fire to break out in a great number of places at the same time. One girl inmate of the institution was standing close to the tank at the time of the explosion and was burned severely, but the doctors believe that she will recover. The entire building, including laundry, kitchen, cold storage, grocery room, bakeen, employs' dining room and general dining room of the inmates was burned to the ground. The loss is estimated at $60,000. Gavage Assault on Young Woman. St. Louis—Miss Alice R. Gray was savagely assaulted near home, after dark, in Tuxedo Park, a suburb. A man stepped up behind her and struck her on the head with a base ball bat. The man then ran away. Miss Gray was severely injured. No cause is known for the deed. A youth of 16 was arrested on suspicion. A year ago a twin brother assaulted a young woman in a similar manner, and is now in the Boonville reformatory. Another Respite for Hottman. Jefferson City—Following the granting of an appeal to the federal court by Judge Phillips, of Kansas City, in the case of Mrs. Aggie Myers, convicted of the murder of her husband, Gov. Folk has granted a 90-day respite to Frank Hottman, convicted as Mrs. Myers' accomplice. Both were under sentence to be hanged January 10. A Sharp Letter. Springfield—Corporation Counsel Lewis, of Chicago, has addressed a very sharp letter to the state board of equalization. The letter accuses the board of failing to notify either him or the attorney-general of the state when representatives of the corporations, for whose higher assessment he had made a plea before the board, were to make their arguments. Died From Laudanum. Kansas City—Allen Moore, president of the Chillicothe normal school and business college, died in a police ambulance while being taken from a hotel to the emergency hospital in the city hall. An overdoe of laudanum was the cause. It was said at the hotel that Prof. Moore had taken the drug for stomach trouble. Woman Burned to Death. St. Louis—Mrs. Ella Longley, 54, wife of the publisher of the Altruist, was burned to death in her home in spite of the efforts of her husband to rescue her. He, too, would have perished if neighbors had not pulled him from the flames. The fire was caused by an exploding lamp. Two Years for Two Convicts. Jefferson City.—Harry Grimm and Sam Thompson, two negro convicts, who came here from St. Louis, and who walked away from the power house at the penitentiary a few days ago, in the circuit court were given five years each for jailbreak. Broke the Record. Springfield—During the last quarter of the year 1906 the United States land office in this city transacted a larger volume of business than during any similar period since the consolidation of the government land offices in Missouri. Declined a Canadian Offer Columbia—Dr. A. Ross Hill, dean of the teachers' college at the university of Missouri, has declined an offer to the deanship at the college of education at the famous Canadian university. He will remain at a much lower salary. Warner Would Pay For Church. Washington—During the civil war government troops destroyed a Presbyterian church at Macon. Senator Warner has introduced a bill to appropriate $600 to the Macon congregation. A Belle of Long Ago. St. Louis—Mrs. Amelia Chouteau Churchill, a member of one of the oldest families in St. Louis, and in her younger days a famous belle and beauty, died at her home in Louisville, Ky.

At no time can a man of business (Colorad) approach a merchant and ask for an advertisement for a newspaper but what he is almost insulted about what some other fellow has done. When we are allowed to explain they begin to tell us about what and how some grafter fleeced them, and they never have seen the paper. After listening to them we have come to the conclusion that they have a just complaint. Newspapers that are controlled by Colored men ought to combine and drive these newspaper bloodsuckers and grafters out of St. Louis, and unless this is done the others newspapers will stand guilty of the same crime. The above editorial was written by J. W. Wheeler in 1898, and it is yet good. WILL BOOM PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT FOR RE-ELECTION. The Roosevelt Third Term National League has been launched in Chicago, with headquarters at 844 Tribune building. The officers are: President, Edward A. Horner; vice presidents, Milton F. Horner, Boston, Mass., and George Noxon, Chicago; secretary and treasurer, E. C. Hayek; assistant secretary, George P. Locke; directors, R. M. Shane and William Frank Robinson, Chicago. The platform, after reciting the reasons why President Roosevelt should be renominated, states: We have hold that in point of fact his re-election in 1908 would not constitute a third term. HE HAS BEEN ELECTED TO THE PRESIDENCY BUT ONCE. Inasmuch, however, as the issue has been so generally spoken of as a third term, the League has adopted the title. We, therefore, in the interest of public welfare, demand that Theodore Roosevelt be nominated for the presidency and be re-elected in 1908, and to that end hereby pledge our support. The United Brothers of Friendship and the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten have bought the building and grounds of the Negro Jefferson club at 2629 Lawton avenue for the round sum of $7,500 as a home and headquarters for this institution, numbering 1,000 in this city and 7,000 in our state. This has been done for the purpose of instilling in our people "union." In the social and religious life we must be united. The building will be renovated and put in good condition, and all days and nights not used by this order will be let to other societies. We commend to Brother H. H. Thompson and Sister Hattie Williams our heartfelt thanks, also Elizabeth Temple and all the temples and lodges in securing this magificent home and hope success may attend them in their undertaking. Capt. C. H. Tandy may establish headquarters there in the near future. We Are Preparing for the Spring Election. At a meeting of the Central Protective league, a Colored organization Sunday, afternoon, Jan. 6th, at 2725 Franklin avenue, the race question was discussed by several well-known Negro men. About 400 members were present. Among those who made speeches were Dr. W. P. Curtis, Dr. J. W. McDowell, J. W. Wheeler, H. H. Jones and Attorney G. L. Vaughn. The league was praised for its work. This is one of the largest organizations in the city and the city will be organized before our defense as citizens. Meeting every Sunday at 2:30 o'clock. All are invited. The condition of Adolph Busch, the St. Louis brewer, is improved. GANDERS CO. First Baptist Church News. The revival which has been going on for the last two weeks is progressing very well from present indications it will be a grand success. Quite a number have joined already. Rev. R. H. Cole is being able assisted by Rev. George W. West. The choir which has for its leader, Madam M. A. Gilree, is rendering glorious services to the church. The sacred song service and concert which it gave a week or ten days ago was indeed a great benefit to all that were present. RIP SAW COLUMN OF THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM Was in Jail, and May Be Now. C. R. Lewis, who formerly was a barmer at 114 North Jefferson avenue, left St. Louis about a week ago and went to Hot Springs, Ark. Shortly afterward he was arrested for some misdemeanor. We all remember that he was arrested in St. Louis some time ago on charges that were very damaging. Mark the prediction, "Your sins will find you out." Here they are, a few of the pretty dudes; dudes that all the school girls are crazy about. Now they will get a permit from the mayor to go to the "White House," better known as the workhouse, to see them. Delmar Ridgway made a statement to the judge, saying: "Many of the school girls are dead on to me." The judge said: "Well, I will give you $100 fine, or six months on the rock pile. Dudie Grimes, another bright-looking dude of the first water, who told the judge that he was a piano player, and also did other work, was sentenced to six months in the workhouse. Clarence Carter is another knight who was thought of by both old and young women as the only pebble on the beach. He got six months and was ordered to sit on one rock and tear all the other rocks to pieces. William Madison was ordered to the rock pile on general principles. He is always with the many nice girls buying soda water and ice cream; but now the judge of the police court gave him a $100 bill and it will take him six months to get it changed. Last, but not least, is the honorable Robert L. Guest. This young Negro has been a terror to the school girls. He dressed well, talked well and fed the school girls well on soda, ice cream and candies of all kinds. The Douglass pharmacy, Pickett's drug store, Harris drug store and Wright & Bolen's were his favorite places to meet the young unsophisticated girls and women and spend the money of other men. This young Negro is now in jail under $2,000 bonds on two charges of grand larceny. These are very serious charges, and now the few girls on Lawton avenue will mourn the loss of this pretty dude. We will keep a tab on all these worthless Negroes, so the girls will know their whereabouts. Wanted—A good man for a husband.

It is made of aluminum with a cut of the church and photo of Rev. W. D. Cook. The calendar is an endless, or we might call it a perpetual calendar. The cut of the church, of Rev. Cook and the calendar are all engraved on the aluminum, which is $5\frac{1}{2}\times4$ inches. It is a beauty of beauties. We also received a very pretty card with a basket of holly and these words: "With Every Good Wish for Christmas." We also received a calendar from our Under-taker Anderson Russell, with his cut thereon. It is a calendar worthy of our business men. He could have added to this calendar, however, by having the cut of his very noble pretty sister, as she is the one who keeps things level around 2322 Chestnut street. Another most exquisite beauty is one from Mr. S. L. Pickett. This is indeed an object lesson. At the top is a beautiful red flower, below which are two children, full of glee, astride a barrel, with four beautiful puppies, harnessed as horses. Below in a golden circle is inscribed S. L. Pickett, 2601 Lawton avenue, druggist, open all night, corner Jefferson and Lawton, St. Louis, including the trademark of the bell-capsic plasters. Around this card are the 12 months of the year. Other calendars that were worthy of praise were the two very beautiful ones received from Mr. W. H. Mosby, who has lately gone in business for himself at 809 North Jefferson avenue. One is very similar to that of S. L. Pickett's with Mr. Mosby's place of business and address inscribed. The original calendar from Mosby's Pharmacy is the one, however, of which we would make special mention. It is ornamented with a cluster of roses, in the center of which is a winter scene on the farm. It is a typical farm scene and Mr. Mosby deserves much credit for the manner in which this beautiful calendar was planned. The calendar from the old stand, 'Wright & Bolen,' is up to the standard. The calendar is a series of flowers, with the name "Wright & Bolen" inscribed, and the address, 2333 Market street. The prevailing flowers of these calendars are chrysanthemums, roses, carnations and violets. The last but not the least of the calendars to arrive at the Palladium office was that of Mr. Chas. Q. Clark, our young merchant tailor. It is very unique, being the only one of its kind we have received. Mr. Clark has his cut, also the cut of the interior and exterior of his tailor shop, 2315 Market street. It also contains a telephone directory, both of business houses and residence 'phones. NOTICE! NOTICE! We hereby announce that the partnership of Harris & Mosby has been dissolved and in the future Mr. W. H. Mosby is sole proprietor of the drug store at 809 N. Jefferson avenue. This is one of the best drug stores that you can trade at. Mr. Mosby is a young man and one of the most progressive young men in the city. He is kind and pleasant to all and delights in making others happy and contented. We ask, for him, your patronage.

Journal, in a long editorial on "Republican Presidential Candidates," had the following with reference to the possibilities of President Roosevelt: "But for the present it is kinder and better to take him at his word and prepare to choose for the head of the ticket some other eminent member of the party." Vice President Fairbanks is disposed of as being too frigid and desired only by the Indiana political machine, while Secretary Root is disqualified by reason of his corporate affiliations and recent centralization speech. With regard to Secretary Taft the statement is made that "Mr. Taft is without doubt the most popular member of his party today, with the exception of the president." * * * While he is like Mr. Roosevelt in some respects, he is unlike him in others, and in general it is thought that his trend of mind is more conservative." Regarding Governor Hughes of New York, our esteemed contemporary says: "He is, even more conspicuously, than Secretary Taft, the exemplar of a new standard of commercial honor, and is, therefore, very close to the plain people of the United States, without regard to party. If he 'makes good' at Albany, by being true to his own best self, he cannot fail to increase in men's minds as a desirable standard-bearer for the presidential campaign." Providence Baptist Notes. The attendance at Providence last Sunday morning and evening was marked with increased interest. Rev. Dr. Duvall, of Pittsburg, Pa., preached two able sermons and every body was pleased that heard him. The mission circle met at the close of the morning service. Mrs. Carrie Miller president, presiding. Much business of importance was transacted and the club donated $12 to the church. The B. Y. P. U. met at 6 p. m. Prof. W. C. Henderson president, was at his post. The discussion of the lesson topic led by Prof. Henderson was highly instructive to all. The congregation at our church Sunday evening was probably the largest we have witnessed since the revival meeting last summer. There will be an all day religious service next Sunday. Preaching 11 a. m., Sunday-school at 1 p. m. covenant and communion at 3 p. m. B. Y. P. U. at 6 p. m., and preaching at 7:30 p. m. Dinner will be served in the afternoon, beginning at 1 p. m.

CLARK’S Merchant Tailor in, oer oe Ghe JEFFERSON g BAR..... ~” T5 North Twelfth Street Sunday was a day of spiritual re- freshing at St. Paul's A. M. B. church. Dr, Cook, the pastor, delivered a most excellent sermon. Subject, “The ne- cessity of a revival of religion.” The vast crowd filled both the main audi- ence and the lecture room. The col- lection amounted to $68, which was laid on the table in ten or fifteen min- utes by the liberal people. Bishop Benjamin Lee, D. D., of Wil- berforce, O., will preach this Sunday at 11 a.m. Those who attend may expect a gospel treat from this dis- tinguished prelate. Dr. Cook, during the past week, has been holding prayer meetings prepa- ratory to the protracted meeting Y. M. C. A, NOTES. At the meeting Wednesday evening eight board of. directors were elected as follows: Dr. O. T. Fields, P. S. Pendleton, Dr. 8. B. Bell, C. H. Ander- son, Jos. H. Godfrey, three years each; Jos. P. Mitchell, two years; R. E. As- borne and Wm. Taylor one year each. Wednesday 23rd inst the board will meet and elect officers. Dr. W. D. Cook will address the men’s meeting Sunday 13th. The Educational Department has opened up in full instructions in Eng- lish, shorthand and tpewriting; can be had at reasonable terms. Spanish is taught by Dr. T. D. Sargoodo, a na- tive Cuban.

Don't forget to go to “Sam,” the Tailor, and get your winter suit or a present for your friend. He is doing a large business, as you know, at 204 and 206 N. Fourteenth street. He also has a working store at 1322 Pino street. It is an undeniable fact that he is one of the best men in St. Louis, as the Palladium man knows. The citizens in the vicinity of Mor- gan and Jeffewson avenues will be pleased to know that mr. Wm. H. Mosby is sole owner of the drug store at 809 Jefferson avenue. You can find at this store all that is to be foud in any first-class drug store. A sensation in congress, based upon a letter attributed to President Roose- yelt, in which state legislatures are urged not to pass laws limiting the salaries of life insurance officials, is brewing. which will begin this Sunday, and will be conducted in a most intelligent way. He has already secured a gospel choir of fifty voices to sing gospel songs. Dr. Cook stated to his people that last year the sum of $2,700 was paid on the bonded debt of the church. He also said that each and every mem- ber of his church is most urgently re- quested to pay at least $3 apiece on the last Sunday of this month, so as to enable the trustees to meet an obli- gation of $2,200 on the debt. St. Paul is in a flourishing condition, and the pastor and trustees hope for great results on the last Sunday in January. “Have you heard the news?” Not at all. I have not read the St. Louis Palladium this week. ‘Well, you can go to the drug store at 809 N. Jefferson avenue. Mr. W. H. Mosby is there for business. Be sure to get your medicine at this drug store. We know that you will be treated all right. Remember 809 Jef- -ferson avenue. Mr. Kornet, of 914 Market street, is one of the best tailors in St. Louis. ‘The Palladium man formerly had his clothes made by him, but of late years he has been too poor to have clothes made to order, and now gets them as best he can, but young men who want an up-to-date suit, go to 914 Market.

CARRIAGES FURNISHED FOR ALL OCCASIONS, LOVE STILL HAS ITS PLACE IN THE WORLD, Marriages of Affection Are as Numer. ous as Ever, Despite Woman's En- try Into the Cares of Modern Bosiness: Is sweethearting on the wane? It all depends whom you ask, of course. The grumpy old bachelor, who has forgotten that he was ever young, and that at least one sweet woman might have loved him, and who smokes a lonely: pipe by his ill- kept hearth, will tell you that the foolery is out of date, that all the mar- riages of to-day are arranged on a basis of pecuniary consideration, that the young men are looking for heir- esses and the girls for settlements. He will give you statistics to prove that love is well lost out of the world, and this sphere will be a perfect place when every infant is a ward of the state. The spinster who has diligent- ly spent the last 20 years in trying to get herself married will doubtless agree with him. But she is a woman, and she knows that the little maid tn her kitchen is a happy lass just be- cause her lad is waiting for her at the corner of the lane. Sweethearting! The good old word! It speaks to you of the days of bro- cade and slippers! it tells of lilac and the May. I am told that in our big towns young men complain that they have not the opportunity -of meeting girls who would make them suitable wives, says a writer in the Los Angeles Her- qld. It reminds me of a story of my grandmother. A lady was complain- ing to her that, owing to restricted means, her daughters could not go into society, and that in consequence possible husbands did not come knock ing at the gate, “My dear,” she said, "I should have got married if I'd lived in an oven.” There is something in it; even with sweethearting the old adage holds good, “Where there's a will there's a way.” ‘We are the only thoronghly experienced and the only prac tically competent Colored Undertakers in the city.

It takes two pieces of ‘the blue for the inside and the same of the gray for the out- side to make one slipper.

Of course, if women can afford to have furriers do this work they need not be so particular about preventing their muffs, collarettes or capes from getting soiled, but when the cleansing must be done at home, too much care can not be taken to keep them clean, for the process of cleaning ermine, coney, angora or any of the white furs, real or imitation, is a long, tedious one, that takes much strength. To begin with, they must be put out on a line and well sunned and aired for a day or two, then they must be whipped gently yet firmly with a rat- tan stick, until no dust flies when they are pounded, ‘When the loose dirt is out the furs may again be hung on a line in the TELEPHONE: KINLOCH A, 1275.

No reproach attaches to the unmarried woman to- day who has shown by her business capacity or her adequate income a capacity or her talent that she is able to provide herself with an adequate in- come, and can take her place as a good servant of the community side by side with any man. But to such a woman love, when it comes, is deep and real—it must be to be worth the sacrifice of her freedom—and any monetary advantage she may gain is amply balanced by all she gives up. She marries because she loves, and for no other reason at all. We heer it on all sides. Life is ad- mittedly more difficult than when our grandmothers were young. Then, girls married at 21; now, though her grand- daughter may be engaged at 19, the engagement stretches over years. Strephon cannot earn enough for the ‘housekeeping, so Phyllis goes out to business, too. She saves money, and so does he, and surely the courting days are the happiest after all. Life is fresh and fair, Phyllis and Strep- hon are newly acquainted. The years that pass before thelr marriage give them many happy memories of pleas- ures shared, because each found in the other some-new taste. ‘A happy engagement ts the prelude to a happy marriage. Sweethearts like these have nothing to fear when the candle of life burns low. It is, then, surely only the sentt mentalist who is dead. From the ashes of an inflated romance has arisen love deep and abiding, the sweet, true sen- itiment of the world that lifts the hearts of men higher, Then let not the laggard lover lament the lack of opportunity for the telling of his tale. Love that is real will always find a method’ of expression, and who that has seen an entirely contented pair in happy solitude on the top of a broke down motor-bus, from which all the other passengers have fied, can ask themselves the question, “Is sweet hearting on the wane?” make a useful present and the chil dren are delighted with slippers like Wi mamma has. Of course any two colors can be used. sunshine, while a bath of white sand and furrier’s sawdust, mixed half and half, is heated in an oven. When hot, the pieces must be put into this cleanser and the sand and sawdust rubbed well into the fur. The sand when hot loosens the grease and dirt from the fur and the sawdust ab- sorbs {t. If after one such rubbing the fur does not look as clean as is desired, the process should be repeated. When the dirt fs out the garment or muff must again be pounded with a rattan stick to get out the sand and sawdust. Following this beating the fur should be placed in a pan filled with eorn- starch or plaster of pans, which must be rubbed thoronghly into it. After either whitener has been worked well into the pieces the furs must again be put out of doors and whipped with a stick to get out the white dust, for if not shaken or beaten the plaster of paris or cornstarch will rub off on the ‘clothing, which is unpleasant. white ones in Parisian favor and tan, gray or black long gloves are the correct thing for street wear.

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 neces- sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wear- Ing quality of the goods, This trouble can be entirely overcome by using De- fiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great er strength than other makes. MANY SOURCES OF SALT. That from Natural Springs Is Gener ally Most Nearly Pure. The purity of salt depends upon the source from which it is obtained and the sanitary conditions under which it is prepared for the market. The supply of common salt, the most in- dispensable of all the seasoning sub- stances both as a relishing condiment and a wellnigh universal food pre- servative, is exhaustless, yet even so there is salt and salt, says the Pic- torial Review. Formerly salt was obtained by evap- orating ocean water, a process that left many impurities in the residuum, to say nothing of its exposure to all kinds of dirt in its shipment from sea- ports. The Turk’s island or rock salt, which is still largely used in pork packing and in the manufacture of ice creams, comes to the United States in holds of vessels continually sub- Jected to dirt and foul odors. Upon its arrival it is again handled, then packed in coarse burlap bags, permit- ting dust to sift into the salt, In this condition it reaches the consumer. Latterly, however, the product of salt springs has largely taken the lead in this country not only for table salt but for meat packing. The annual production from this source in the United States reaches more than 40,- 000,000 bushels, the state of New York in the vicinity of Syracuse furnishing a large proportion of this important supply. . NEVER TIRES Of the Food That Restored Her to Health. “My food was killing me and I didn’t know the cause,” writes a Colo. young lady. “For two years I was thin and sickly, suffering from indigestion and inflammatory rheumatism. “I had tried different kinds of diet, plain living, and many of the remedies recommended, but got no better, “Finally, about five weeks ago, ‘mother suggested that I try Grape- Nuts, and I began at once, eating it “with a little cream or milk. A change for the better began at once. “To-day I am well and am gaining weight and strength all the time. I've gained 10 Ibs. m the last five weeks and do not suffer any more from indi- gestion and the rheumatism is all gone. “I know it is to Grape-Nuts alone that I owe my restored health. { still eat the food twice a day and never tire of it.” Name given by Postum Co,, Battle Creek, Mich. The flavor of GrapeNuts is peculfar to itself. It is neutral, not too sweet and has an agreeable, heaithful qual- ity that never grows tiresome. One of the sources of rheamatism is from overloading the system with acid material, the result of Imperfect digestion and assimilation. ‘As soon as improper food is aban @oned and Grape-Nuts is taken reaw larly, digestion is made strong, the or gans do their work of building up good red blood cells and of carrying away the excess of diseasemaking msteria from the system.

LESSON TEXT. — Genesis 1:26-2:3; Memory verses. 26, 27 Memory verses. 26, 27. GOLDEN TEXT. "God created man his own image in the image of God created SCRIPTURE REFERENCES.—Man as the child of God, is made in the image of God. Gen. 51; 9:6; Col. 3:10; James 3.3. The Book of James 2:10; 10:15; 17:26; 28; Psa. 100:3; 1 John 3:1, 2. A little lower than the angels: v. 2; Psa. 100:3 to have dominion. v. 2; Psa. 3:6. The Man is called our Father. Passages showing how the moral image may be restored, as Rom. 8:14; Matt. 5:9; 1 John 3:2, 10. Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 27. "So God created man." He formed his body, but he created his spirit, made in the image of God; he put into man something that was not in the world before. "Breathed into his nostrils the breath of life." This means more than the inbreathing of animal life. "Seeing that our author speaks of an inbreathing by God only in the case of man, and not in the case of animals, it would seem that in it is meant to consist the specific pre-eminence of man over the animals, that which in vs. 26. 27 is called the image of God; i.e. that by this inbreathing, affecting man personally, is meant the communication, not merely of the physical, but, at the same time, of the mental vitality of man, the communication of the spirit."—Dillmann. "Male and female created he them," both alike are made in the image of God, both alike are his children. How he made them is told in the second story. (Gen. 2:18, 21-24.) It was "not good that man should be alone." None of the animal creation, not even the highest ape, was near enough to him to be his companion, and the mother of the new human race. No man could develop into his best while alone. Either it would be necessary to create a woman in the same way as Adam was created, or in some other and better way to supply the needed companion. The Dominion of Man. V. 28. "And God blessed them," by giving them children, and dominion, and noble work, and food. It would be a blessing, a happiness, to live. The joy of God himself was bestowed upon his children. "Be fruitful." As God delighted in his work of creation so that "the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy" (Job 38:7), so he would have his children blessed in filling the earth with people. "And have dominion over the fish . . . and . . . every living thing." These are by nature subordinate to man; and by his higher nature man would have the power to benefit the lower animals, supply them with food and care, and give them a larger usefulness and a higher and happier life than they could without man. This is true of all well-cared-for domestic animals to-day. "Man's relation to the beasts is that of Providence," says George Adam Smith. "And subdue it." "Bring it under cultivation, master all its forces, possess themselves of its resources, subject it and all that it contains to their use. This, man is gradually learning to do in the advancement of knowledge and the progress of science and the arts."—Green. Marvelous as has been man's control over the forces of nature, beyond seer's vision or poet's imagination, yet man has even now attained to but a small portion of the treasures of his kingdom, a few grains from the harvest, a few drops from the measureless ocean. But as he regains the image of God, he will gain his dominion over all nature. For it is written on the history of the world that only so fast and far as man becomes filled with the spirit of Christianity does he hold dominion over animals, or make the earth his servant. V. 3. "And God blessed the seventh day." Made it a blessing to man, one of the greatest blessings he ever bestowed, "endowed it with a treasure of grace flowing forth from the rest of the Creator."—Deltitzsch. "This institution, though, like other institutions, capable of abuse, has, nevertheless . . . operated on the whole with wonderful efficiency in maintaining the life of a pure and spiritual religion."—Prof. Dr. in Hastings' Bible Dict. "And sanctified it." "Hallowed" it Set it apart for sacred uses. "Made it a holy day, taken out from among the common days, and devoted to God, having a special relation to a holy God."—Dillmann. Some such institution was essential to the moral and religious development of man, the means of cultivating his higher nature, and, hence, to the best progress of his civilization—physical and mental. The two great essential foundations of man's progress and true prosperity were ordained at the very beginning, -the family and the Sabbath. These two primeval institutions, kept sacred and wisely used, are the remedy for most of our social and moral evils. The Sabbath is the opportunity for caring for the spiritual nature, the highest and noblest part of man. Practical Points. The same God who breathed life into the dust-made body, still breathes into the soul, defiled by sin, dead in sin, the new life of righteousness and heaven by his Holy Spirit. The reason here given for the Sabbath is repeated in the fourth commandment to enforce and illustrate the duty of Sabbath keeping. The glory of man is that he is made a the image of God. Herein is hope, life, and immortality. The revealed fact of our origin enables us to know what we need to know about God our Father. You Look Prematurely Old.

The early stages were principally backache and bearing down pain, but I went along without worrying much until dropsy set in. My feet and ankles swelled up, my hands puffed and became so tense I could hardly close them. I had great difficulty in breathing, and my heart would flutter with the least exertion. I could not walk far without stopping again and again to rest. Since using four boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills the bloating has gone down and the feelings of distress have disappeared."

Vice President Fairbanks stopped a newspaper man the other day, and good-naturedly asked explanation of an incident which happened years ago. On that occasion Mr. Fairbanks and the correspondent were chatting pleasantly, when suddenly the latter moved away to meet Senator Chandler of Maine. The vice president said: "I have always had great curiosity to know why you deserted me that day." The newspaper man hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Vice President, you are a mighty dry source of news. You may have a nose for news, but I doubt it; at any rate, you never give up any. Now, when a newspaper man is gunning for big, live news he hasn't got time to stop and exchange small talk with a man, even if he be a senator, who would not know the price of news if he saw it." Mr. Fairbanks smiled. "I thank you for your frankness," he said. "I see I shall have to cultivate a nose for news." ALMOST A SOLID SORE. Skin Disease from Birth—Fortune Spent on Her Without Benefit— Cured Her with Cuticura. "I have a cousin in Rockingham Co. who once had a skin disease from her birth until she was six years of age. Her father had spent a fortune on her to get her cured and none of the treatments did her any good. Old Dr. G—— suggested that he try the Cuticura Remedies which he did. When he commenced to use it the child was almost a solid scab. He had used it about two months and the child was well. I was there when they commenced to use your Cuticura Remedies. I stayed that week and then returned home and stayed two weeks and then went back and stayed with them two weeks longer, and when I went home I could hardly believe she was the same child. Her skin was as soft as a baby's without a scar on it. I have not seen her in seventeen years, but I have heard from her and the last time I heard from her she was well. Mrs.W. P. Ingle, Burlington, N. C., June 16, 1905." French President's Double. M. Fallieres was until recently believed to be the only president of the French republic who had no double, but his counterpart has been found. The man who most resembles him physically is a respectable merchant of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays his part with decorum and dignity. He wears exactly the same kind of blue butterfly necktie with white dots as the president, the same kind of hat and exactly so oddly cut a beard. And on his promenades he is always accompanied by a friend who could easily be taken for the president's private secretary. Dignified and with measured steps the enviable double walks through the Faubourg Saint Honore and feels overjoyed at being saluted on all sides. Safe. Sure and Speedy. No external remedy ever yet devised has so fully and unquestionably met these three prime conditions as successfully as Allcock's Plasters. They are safe because they contain no deleterious drugs and are manufactured upon scientific principles of medicine. They are sure because nothing goes into them except ingredients which are exactly adapted to the purposes for which a plaster is required. They are speedy in their action because their medicinal qualities go right to their work of relieving pain and restoring the natural and healthy performance of the functions of muscles, nerves and skin. Allcock's Plasters are the original and genuine porous plasters and like most meritorious articles have been extensively imitated, therefore always make sure and get the genuine. Nothing hurts a conceited man like being ignored. CASTORIA For Infants and Children Bears The Signature Of In Use For Over Thirty Years The Kind You Have Always Bought ANIMALS THAT SHED TEARS. Travelers' Observations Have Proved That Weeping Is Common. Travelers through the Syrian desert have seen horses weep from thirst, a mule has been seen to cry from the pain of an injured foot and camels, it is sald, shed tears in streams, says a writer in Harper's Weekly. A cow sold by its mistress who had tended young soko ape used to cry from vexation if Livingston didn't nurse it in his arms when it asked him to. Wounded apes have died crying, and apes have wept over their young slain by hunters. A chimpanzee trained to carry water jugs broke one and fell a-crying, which proved sorrow, though it wouldn't mend the jug. Rats, discovering their young drowned, have been moved to tears. A giraffe which a huntsman's rifle had injured began to cry when approached. Sea lions often weep over the loss of their young. Gordon Cummings observed tears trickling down the face of a dying elephant. And even an orang-outang when deprived of its mango was so vexed that it took to weeping. There is little doubt, therefore, that animals do cry from grief or weep from pain or annoyance. When members of a family quarrel a lot of truth leaks out.

Some people call Peruna a great tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a great catarh remedy. Which of these people are right? Is it more proper to call Peruna a catarh remedy than to call it a tonic? Our reply is, that Peruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed, there can be no effectual catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic. In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not only have a specific action on the mucous membranes affected by the catarrh, but it must have a general tonic action on the nervous system. Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened condition of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strengthen the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces. Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful efficacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a trio of medical agents is formed in Peruna which constitutes a specific remedy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be improved upon. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics as COLLINSONIA CANADENSIA, CORYDALIS FORMOSA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations in the body. From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical experience confirms a well-grounded theory the result is a truth that cannot be shaken.

(Up Stairs) SOUTHERN RAILWAY Se ee eaten ee) ee ee the late president of the roall, and a number of others lost their lives, was asked today whether any conclusion had been reached as to the cause of the accident.. He replied: “Yes, Train No. 33, bound south with Mr. Spencer’s car, No. 100, on the rear end, had, by the block operator at Ran- goon block station, G. D. Mattox, been let into the block between Rangoon and the next block station to the south, known as Lawyers, and, before the block was cleared of that train, Mattox also let into the same block train first 37, which, not knowing in time that train No..33 was in the block, ran into it and caused the catas- trophe. “After passing Rangoon that morn- ing, train No. 33, which, besides the engine and tender, consisted of a pos- tal car, an express car, a combined baggage and second-class passenger ear, a first-class car, two sleeping cars and the president’s car, No. 100 (here named in their order fom the engine), at a point something over a mile from Rangoon station, separated into two parts because of the parting of a coup- ling between the express car and the combined car. “The emergency brakes at once ap- plied automatically on both sections of the parted train, as intended in cases of just such contingencies, and both sections were stopped. “Under these circumstances, if the rules of the company had been obeyed no other train could have passed Ran- goon or entered the block in which this disabled: train was. . “The undisputed testimony shows that no less than three different rules of the company were violated by Mat- tox, the operator at Rangoon, the ob- servance of any one of which would have prevented the accident. “One of the rules (Rule 118) pro- vides as follows: “when a train enters the block the signalman must give ‘OS train No—’ and the time to the next block station in advance, and waen the tfain has passed the home block and the signal- man has seen the markers, he must display the stop signal, and when the rear of the train has pasted 200 feet beyond the home block signal he must give ‘BC’ (‘block clear of ——') and the time to the next block stfion in the rear. “This information must be entered on the block records. “The operator at Lawyers did not give this information to Mattox, the operator at Rangoon, as to train No. 33. < “Mattox, therefore, not having re- ceived the required information in regard to the movements of train No. 33, violated this rule in regarding the block as clear of that train before let- ting in the following train, known as first 37. “His excuse is that the operator at Lawyers did report train No. 33 as ‘by’ Lawyers, but failed to give him the time it passed, as required by the rule. There is some confusion in his testi- mony as to whether this occurred before first 37 passed Rangoon or just afterwards, but the operator at Law- yers emphatically denies that he sent any such message as claimed by Mat- tox and declares that Mattox had nev- er even informed him that train No. 33 wanted the block or had entered it. “While there exists this conflict of evidence, operator Mattox, in his own statement, admits that he did not receive from the operator at Lawyers the time train 33 passed out of the block at Lawyers jand excuses his failure to secure this information by the statement that after the operator at Lawyers had informed him that No. 33 was ‘by,’ he, the operator at ‘Lawyers, abruptly opened his key, and he, Mattox, could not communicate further with him. “Under these circumstances the fol- lowing from Rule 134 applies: “qf from the failure of a telegraph line or other cause a signalman is unable to communicate with the next lock station in advance (which in this case was Lawyers), he must stop every train approaching in that direc: tion and. obtain permission from the train dispatcher before allowing it to proceed.’ “Mattox’s plain duty was, therefore, to stop first 37 at Rangoon and not let it enter the block. He admits that ‘this was his duty, and that he did not perform it. If he had, the accidemt could not have happened. “In addition to the foregoing, Rule 116 provides: “To admit a train to a block the signalman must examine the block record and if the block is clear will give ‘B. W. (block wanted for —’ to the next block station in advance. “phe signalman receiving this sig Te a a a aN er aa Ra “From Rule 116, above referred to, it will be seen that Operator Mattox had no right even to ask for the block for train first 37 until he had looked at his own block sheet and seen from it that train No. 83 had passed out of the block at Lawyers. “His block sheet did not show this essential fact. “He admits that it did not, and that, before ihe asked for the block for first 31, he had not gotten, as required by Rule 118, the information necessary to make his block sheet show the facts and to complete it. “It was, under these circumstances, his clear duty under Rule 116 to stop train first 37 and not admit it to the block. He admits this, and that if he had obeyed the rule the accident could not have happened. __ “It will thus be seen that from evi ‘dence that is not disputed, the human factor failed at the decisive moment and caused this great catastrophe. “Mattox himself is a Virginian by birth, having been born and reared in Franklin county, the adjoining county to the one in which the accident oc- curred. He had been employed in pur- suance of the policy of the company to recruit its ranks from among the people along its lines, whose antece- dents and environments are known. “He was twenty-two years old, had been in the employment of the’ com- pany as an operator for about two years, was educated as an operator and, before being permitted t ounder- take the duties of an operttor, was duly examined on block rules, train orders and other matters pertaining to the telegraph service, by W. J. Coap- man, chief dispatcher. “He had, at the time of the accident, bee noperator at Rangoon about twen- ty months. “There is some conflict in the testi: mony as to the conduct of Jacobs, the operator at Lawyers. The above con- elusions, however, have been reached without considering any controverted testimony.” OBSERVATIONS For Sale—Lunch stand, fixtures and a good trade. Apply at 2609 Pine st.

Dowie's communistic hierarchy crumbling on its shattered foundations records another failure of one of those soeial experiments in which either some one individual does all the think- ing Yor the community, or the com- munity does all the thinking for itself collectively—or thinks it does. Which- ever way they are tried, they cannot dovetail with the established economy of human society. They are irrational, as absurd as the attempt to reduce two-thirds to an even decimal, Dow- ie did the thinking for Zion before his fall, since which time his half-aban- doned sheep, bewildered by less force- ful leaders, have found life a delusion and a snare. Zion's obsequies are soon to be observed and its affairs wound up. It is only a question of the least painful and most profitable method. Peace to Zion! NOTICE!
