The Christian Spiritual Union meets every Friday evening at Masonic Temple, 2720 Morgan street, at which time there are lectures and communications with the so-called "dead" by J. S. Weatherford and M. E. Brooks. 1870 37th Anniversary o WILL BE C FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1 Quinn Chapel A Good Program Will Be Rendered U Harris....Adm Wood Program Will Be Rendered Under the Direction of Miss Rosa L. Harris.....Admission 15 Cents. NOTICE Dr. Cook was assisted by Rev. J. 1. Brown, a most worthy Christian gentleman. It is encouraging to know that so many young men and women were among those recently converted. The protracted meeting at St. Paul during the last few days resulted in 56 conversions and 45 accessions. During the same time the pastor, Dr. Cook, and his trustees raised and paid the sum of $1,500 on the church debt. As a result of overwork, Dr. Cook is far from being a well man. The church should give him a few days' rest when the meeting is over. St. Paul will soon have an unde-nominational jubilee meeting for arr have been converted at the different churches during the recent revivals held in the city. All converts will be invited. St. Paul will soon lose one of her most faithful members in the person of Mr. Alva Curtis, who goes to Beloit, Wis., to remain permanently. He will be given a farewell reception this (Saturday) night by the Ladles' Improvement club. A thief entered St. Paul during the services last Sunday night and relieved Mr. N. Jenkins of his fine overcoat and hat. The same thief took a hat belonging to Mr. W. E. Osborne, the clerk of the church. Christians, and especially for all who If undecided, consult Leon Devoux, the Great Hindoo Clairvoyant. He removes the Hoodoo and removes evil influences. 2734 Morgan street. 1907 of Elijah Lodge No. 2 CELEBRATED 5, 1907, at Minnesota Ave. and Bowen Street, St. Louis Under the Direction of Miss Rosa L.

Miss Leona Lee has been ill for the past week. We hope for her early recovery. Miss Eva Richardson was selected as one of the judges at the Grand Leader boys' masquerade ball. Miss Della Porter, who has been very ill for the past three weeks, is slowly recovering. The Academy boys' masquerade ball was quite a success but the weather was against them. Mrs. Della Lawrence, of Glenwood Springs, is the guest of Mrs. Brown, 1732 Iowa avenue. Miss Ida Savage, who has been suffering from the effects of a very severe cold, is convalescent. The Palladium man received a very sympathetic letter from Dr. J. H. Foraker, of 3990 Papin street, during the week. Mr. W. S. Purcell, of 32 South Leonard avenue, suffered from a stroke of paralysis last week. He is convalescent. Mr. Henry Simms departed Tuesday, February 5, for San Antonio, Tex., in search of health. We hope for his ultimate recovery. The Ladies' Improvement club of St. Paul chapel will give a reception February 9, from 7 to 9 p. m., in lecture room, in honor of Mr. Alvin Curtis. The spirit lecture of last Friday evening was one of the strongest inspirations that we have had from the spiritworld in some time past. The subject was "We, the Angel World, Stretch Forth Our Hand of Assistance to Lift Thee on a Higher Plane." It was witnessed by a large congregation. One of the members presented Brother Weatherford, president, with a handsome-water pitcher and scarf for his table. Services exerted evening at 2720 Morgon street, Masonic building. The Grand Leader boys masquerade last Monday night was a grand success. Most every one was masked, and the costumes as a whole were grand. Four prizes were awarded—two for the ladiesand to for the gentlemen. Mrs. Henrene Turpin received the first prize and Miss Alice Ralney the second prize. Mr. Jesse Johnson, our famous young dancer, ho promises at some time in the future to become one of the youngest dancing masters of the race, was master of ceremonies. The Royal House of St Louis, of the U. B. F. and S. M. T., has made class legislation, or they have Jim Crowed the male members of that Royal House. I will say that the order will not hold water; the grand master's action on that will not stand. The ritual of any order does not govern any body of men or women. It is the constitution and by-laws that prescribe the duties and by those we are governed. Mark what we say: the members are not in any way prescribed by the ritual or work. Seeval years ago I met up with an obstacle in the payment of money due. We shall take this matter to a higher court, where common sense and common law rule, and not a lot of men and women who are governed by their likes and follies. St. Louis Aaero club asks the gov ernment to hold $50,000 tests of ba loons for army work in that city. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS. Last Sunday was a day full of interest, for it was covenant, financial rally and baptiology day, hence, owing to that fact, a large crowd had gathered in advance to see and to hear everything that might be said or done. It can be safely said that not one was disappointed, from the very fact the five o'clock a. m. prayer meeting had warmed the church up to such an extent until it was felt in the Sunday school and in all the services throughout the day. Shortly after the close of the Sabbath school the covenant meeting started, and in a short time the church had become crowded, some rising from different parts of the house, testifying of their faith and love in the Lord Jesus Christ, until two hundred or more had talked. At the close a large collection was taken up, amounting to nearly two hundred dollars. While the congregation were waiting for the candidates to get ready Rev. Geo. W. West made a stirring talk on Baptism, etc., and at 1:55 p. m. the candidates began to file in, led by Rev. R. H. Cole. He made a few remarks, after which he began to baptie at 2:11 p. m., beginning with the women, and to the surprise of all present he had baptised the seventeen converts in twelve minutes. It being such a record breaker the reporter was almost bewildered. The 3 o'clock and 7:30 o'clock p. m. service collections, together with the morning rally, swell the collection to two hundred and sixty-five dollars, hence all of the members have need to feel proud of their grand old church. Masquerade The Great Western club will give its first annual masquerade at True Reformers' hall Tuesday evening, February 12. The Queen of the East, chosen at the club's Veiled Prophet's ball, last October, will be present, attended by her maids of honor. The occasion will be first class in every particular, as are all of the functions of the Great Western club. The Great Western band will furnish the music, and Mr. James W. Grant will manage the floor. Further assurance of an enjoyable time is unnecessary. MRS. LEE'S SOCIAL The social at the residence of Mrs. A. L. Lee, 2919 Lawton avenue, under the auspices of Electa Chapter No. 1, last Tuesday night, was quite a success. Whist was indulged in for a while, after which was dancing. Every one seemed to enjoy themselves. ANNUAL MASQUERADE PARTY Great Western Club TUESDAY NIGHT, FEB. 12th TRUE REFORMERS HALL M. H. The functions of the Great Western are always recherche.

Mr. Scott was an old and respected citizen, and was proprietor of the barber shop in the Security building. He was one of our most enterprising men, who was deeply interested in the welfare of his race. He was stricken in the Jefferson hotel, on Twelfth street. He leaves a loving wife and many friends to mourn his loss. May he rest in peace. CHRISTIAN WISDOM SOCIETY. The Christian Wisdom society met in its regular monthly meeting on the first Tuesday evening in the month at the First Baptist church. The meeting was opened at 8:30 o'clock by Rev. J. H. Foraker with the reading of Jer., 5th chapter, 5th verse: "I will get me unto the great men and will speak unto them, for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of their God, but these altogether have broken the yoke, and bruised the bonds." Next was prayed President Sister M. Sweeney was in the chair; vice-president, Sister Carrie Blakehead; secretary, Sister Lewis; assistant secretary, Sister Young; treasurer, Sister West. After business the collection amounted to $26.70. This is the reliable Christian Wisdom society, the oldest in the state, and pays all its debts. Everybody says "Yes."

MISSOURI Japan has decided that Togo is not to go as far as California. The sea serpent has been seen off Sweden by Herr Ankarkrona. It was probably a reflection of his name on the water. Cinderella, it appears, was a real person, a fact which offsets in some measure the prevalent suspicion against Santa Claus. The chauffeur now appears to hold the inside track in the matrimonial race, where once the coachman was counted an easy winner. Mark Twain says that the American people desire a monarchy, but then it is impossible to tell when Mark Twain should be taken seriously. It appears that some persons believe that the czar of Russia has not yet troubles enough, and so they are accusing him of writing poetry. Once in a while it is the man that is unreasonable. Here is one suing his wife for divorce because she did not die, as she said she would. Paris is said to be startled by the proposal of Sarah Bernhardt to play Mephistopheles, and yet she has been playing it for a number of years past. Though you struggle through the jungles of life, look up and behold the mountains of success and prosperity beckoning in the glimmering distance. Growing social complaints about "tight wads" are now explained. It is the example of King Edward, and must be followed if one preserves good form. The inhabitants of many countries are a little uneasy lest an earthquake should overtake them, but the danger of an earthquake does not worry a Russian officeholder a bit. The postmaster at St. Louis says that society women are eligible for membership in the Ananias society. From this it is to be seen that not all the prevarticators are in congress. While the congressional party of investigators were on the Isthmus of Panama an alligator tried to eat one of the members. Both the alligator and the congressman were saved. The belief of the New Jersey woman that somebody was putting the evil eye on her cow will be something of a jolt to those optimistic souls who claim that this age is an enlightened one. The Hartford city man who proposes a law preventing officials from serving for more than two terms might have had more chance of getting it passed if he had not included senators and representatives in his list. If the Jaisingroa Gaekwar, the son of the Gaekwar of Baroda, who has come to this country to prepare for Harvard, takes advantage of the liberty which his absence from home affords him, about the first thing he will do will be to take up the simplified spelling of his own name. It is said that there are so many practical philanthropists anxious to save Mrs. Russell Sage from the disgrace of dying rich that she is afraid to go out, and is a prisoner in her own house. If excess of energy is our national fault, its extreme is found in the number who are eager to gain the good things of life without working for them. The unlucky editor sat up after hours to do the subject justice; he described in words that fairly floated the bride and her trousseau; he made your mouth water in describing the refreshments and made every one who had contributed feel like a millionaire when reading the description and list of presents. He wound it all up in as pretty a word picture as you ever read and wrote of the joy attending the affair, says the Stafford, Kan. Republic. The compositor set it up "jay" and the next day one of the editor's best friends, who lived on R. F. D. No. 6, took it as personal and came in and stopped his paper and threatened to mop the floor with the editor. A snowstorm in London involves the expenditure of a big fortune to restore the streets to anything like a passable condition. After the snowstorm of January, 1895, which approximates to the present visitation, Niset Blair, the surveyer of St. Pancras, said that his authority expended £2,472 on snow removal. There are 28 boroughs in London, and, taking St. Pancras as an averag-sized borough, the total expenditure would be close upon £70,000. This sum, says London Chronicle, makes no provision for the city of London and the total can not fall far short of £100,000. Half an hour's rainfall at this stage would be worth its weight in gold. Tulsa, Okla., has 775 girls and 722 boys attending school. At this rate the second generation will not be short on school teachers. Long live the useful spinster. If there is anything in the report that the north pole is moving southward at the rate of 20 miles a day, it ought to be ready soon to discover its would-be discoverers. A bigamist was "up before a London magistrate and in giving his testimony he referred to one of the witnesses as 'any son-in-law by my first wife.'" Lucile E.

ROCKEFELLER'S BIG GIFT THE GENERAL EDUCATION BOARD MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT. Intended to Assist Work of Board Throughout the Country—Had Previously Given $11,000,000. New York—An announcement is made that John D. Rockefeller has given the general education board $32, 000,000. He had previously given the board $11,000,000. The gift is intended to assist in the work of the board throughout the country. The education board is designed to help educational institutions. The members of the board who will administer Mr. Rockefeller's immense gift include some of the best known educators, financiers, publicists and philanthropists in the country. While the board was in session gifts to five colleges were ordered, amounting in all to $400,000 as follows: Beloit college, Beloit, Wis.; Morningside college, Sloux City, Ia.; Lafayette college, Easton, Pa., $50,000 each. Wabash college, Crawfordsville, Ind., and the University of Wooster, Wooster, O., each $125,000. In 1903 the general educational board was chartered by congress. It employs a force of experts in the continuous and systematic study of educational conditions in all parts of the United States. Its object is promoting education in the various states by means of gifts and otherwise. "The organization was adopted to assist Mr. Rockefeller in the distribution of his gifts to education, but it was not intended to limit the work of the board to the administration of funds given by him," said Chairman Frederick T. Gates, who explained the purposes of the organization. "In March, 1902," said Gates, "John D. Rockefeller pledged $1,000,000 to the work of the board, confining its use particularly to the study and promotion of education in the southern states." On June 30, 1905, through Mr. Gates, Mr. Rockefeller gave the board $1,000,000 in securities, the principal to be held in perpetuity as a foundation for education, income above expenses of administration to become distributed to, or used for, among such institutions of learning as the board might deem best adapted to promote a comprehensive system of higher education in the United States. From the income of the original fund of $11,000,000 conditional subscriptions have already been made to 18 colleges in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, amounting to a total of $1,077,500. As a condition of receiving these gifts the colleges are raising further the total sum of $3,262,500. LONDON TRIBUNE GIVES ADVICE. Declares America's Power to Make Pledge Respected Is at Stake. London—The Tribune publishes an editorial article on what it calls the "Wicked Scare," and reports words that President Roosevelt is said to have used about the Japanese ultimatum. The paper declares that such a wild talk will never be credited by such a wild talk will never be credited by responsible opinion in England, "and the denial of the president given by our Washington correspondent disposes absolutely of these mischievous and unintelligent rumors. "No man could have argued more eloquently or acted more resolutely than the president to insure that respect for Japanese immigrants to which their treaties entitle them. History shows that it is not an easy thing for a republic to coerce a defiant state, but America's power to make its own pledges respected, and, above all, President Roosevelt's reputation as a man of his word, are at stake in this question, and the president is not the man to hesitate." UNSIGNED BANK NOTES STOLEN. On a Pennsylvania Bank and Aggregate $1,250,000. Pittsburg, Pa.—Unsigned bank notes to the amount of $1,250,000, consigned by the comptroller of the currency at Washington to the Wilmerding National bank at Wilmerding, a suburb, were stolen from a drawer in the baggage room of the Pennsylvania railroad at Wilmerding. Shaw Calls It a Sweatshop Washington—In a letter to Speaker Cannon, Secretary Shaw says of the building in Washington occupied by the bureau of engraving and printing: "I doubt if a worse sweatshop exists on the earth than the factory in which the government manufactures its money, its bonds, its internal revenue and post office stamps. The condition of the employees, especially in summer, is well nigh unbearable, and every consideration pleads for improvement. The matter will soon be brought up in the senate. Cranberry Growers Have Scheme. Camden, N. J.-A large number of cranberry growers of southern New Jersey have organized the New Jersey Cranberry Sales Co.

South St. Joseph-Charles Frisby, aged 18, called at the residence of Silas Casteel to keep an engagement with Casteel's daughter, Dora, aged 15, and upbraided her for her indifference to his protestations of love.

Don't ask us what you owe, but pay us what you can while we are confined to our bed, until we get us and get things straightened out. The manager, Mr. Wheeler, is now confined to his bed. The spring election is at hand, and the Republican have adopted the same facties that were adopted last fall and carried out by the state committee; that is: Letting the Negro alone. The few that were sent out by the state committee had no influence, and with but a few exceptions were unknown by the Negroes of the state. At the election last fall the Negroes of St. Louis voted almost to a man for the Republican ticket; so much so that the congressman in the Third congressional district was elected by only 38 votes. Since that time all of the elected officers have taken charge of the offices to which they were elected. We ask this question: What have they done for the Negro in st. Louis? What have the respectable Negroes in St. Louis received at their hands? What respectable Negroes have had the least say so in regards to whom of their race should be appointed to office? Are the Negroes that have been appointed to office representing the race? Let us ask this question: Will the twelve thousand Negroes of St. Louis vote to give 23 central committee offices before the Negro gets anything? Our answer to that is: Not by a jugful. Now is the time to act. If you have been ignored in the lect election, let the Negro stay at home. If you have not a part at the pie counter, then why will you act the pack-horse for others who do not care for you? My advice to the Negro is to stay, at home until you know what part you, as a Negro, are to play after next spring's election. The Negro Protective League club did what they could for the past two weeks. We had our man in Jefferson City, who kept us informed of every movement made by long-distance telephone. We are under many obligation to Dr. J. T. Caston, who was on the lookout. Now that we have been defeated in the battle before the senate, let us rally again and go before the house, whose members were elected largely by Ngroes. NOTICE. Any article sent to this office for publication must be accompanied by the money—5 cents per line—otherwise it will be thrown away. M. B. J. W. Wheeler is still confined to his bed and will be for several weeks. We have contended all along that we have the best-paying subscribers connected with any paper. But we have sent out over 100 letters and 50 postal cards, and as yet not 25 of them have responded. This is what we are at a loss to understand: Over two hundred subscribers that we did not notify have responded, as they saw the notice in the paper that we were confined to our bed. Now, dear friends, we ask of you to tell us something—several preachers, whom we did not notify, who owe us as high as $1.50 to $2.50, have not shown their faces. We would like to ask this quest Why is it that some of these m who bear the name of Christians, so unreliable in money matters? man can preach the gospel unless is a Christian from a pure prince Let us hear from all of our let and subscribers while we are confi to our bed with a broken foot, as can not come to you.

When Negro votes put white men in office, then they should get some of the offices. If the Republicans want to get the 12,000 votes of St. Louis, the Negroes of St. Louis should get one-fourth of the offices. What offices have any respectable Negroes, with the exception of John H. Johnson, of the Fifth ward? Let the central committee put three Negroes on the central committee, one each from the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth congressional districts. This will be better and a more amicable feeling will pervade the 12,000 Negro voters of St. Louis. No Negro can be considered unless they find favor in the eyes of the city central committee. It does not matter what service the Negroes will render in any election, they must find that same favor in the central committee or its chairman. What the Negro wants is a committee of three on the committee of two hundred on the central committee. They want three in the marriage license department, two in the license department, one in the registry department and three in the circuclerk's office. Now that the "Jim Crow" bill has passed the senate in Jefferson City and the same has been sent to the house, we hope that the house, whose members are closer to the people than the senate, will defeat the measure. The Negroes of the state of Missouri do not deserve such treatment at the hands of the white people in Missouri. We trust that the Negroes all over the state will give this measure their immediate attention and go to Jefferson City and implore the members of the house not to pass this class legislation against our people. the minutes of the Grand Lodge are out, with their many mistakes and omissions. Some one has been playing with the manuscript of the last Grand Lodge; some one has erased many of the resolutions that were passed. Somebody must answer. We do not say it was the grand secretary, but some one has got to answer for this at the next session of the Grand Lodge. Hon. Charles Nagel is senatorla timber.

Miss Lewis B Brown, Clerk Representative Murphy, of Missouri, introduces resolution to repeal Oklahoma statehood act. We would like to ask this question: Why is it that some of these men, who bear the name of Christians, are so unreliable in money matters? No man can preach the gospel unless he is a Christian from a pure principle. Let us hear from all of our letters and subscribers while we are confined to our bed with a broken foot, as we can not come to you. Please send us your check, as we are very much in need of money to settle our bills with the printer. Please answer. We are with respect, yours in a Christian spirit, Oh, yes, the Palladium is to the front with as much vim and original, spicy matter as formerly, when the Palladium man was on his feet. "Association begets assimilation." Miss Olivia Richardson has been with the Palladium so long that she can well be called the Palladium lady. Remember, we all might die sooner or later, and things move along as if nothing had happened, so don't be worried in thinking about the Palladium man, when there is a Palladium lady whom, I believe, when I am in the lonely grave yard, will be able to publish the Palladium with more vim and originality than there ever was before, and she will be a terror to evil doers. I shall when dead leave "Footprints on the sands of time," so much so that there will be a brighter time for the publisher of the St. Louis Palladium. The city committee has reported that 200 good Republicans have been selected to pass upon the candidates that will be put up for the Republicans of St. Louis to vote upon next spring (April). If this is the way the city central committee is to hand out to the Republicans (Negro Republicans), it will be well for the Negroes of St. Louis to remain at home next April, as nothing will be offered them. The Negro who can vote the Republican ticket next, April can do anything. You voted last fall, and what did you get? If you are not allowed representation on the committee and on the board of two hundred, then why will you fatten frogs for snakes? Stop! Stop! at once. Remember this spring two years ago, when the Republicans were sure that they had elected the majority of the city council, they held a caucus of the Republicans and indorsed a white man for sergeant-at-arms of the city council. This position was formerly held under the Republicans by a Negro, and after our hard fight for the success of the party, that was a slam at the Negro Republicans. Should not the Negro know what part he will play at the outcome of the spring action. If you as a Negro do not know, and they will not share the victory with you, then stay at home next April. Last week the order of U. B. F. & S. M. T. dedicated their new hall, 2629 Lawton avnue, and the order was out in fall. As we predicted, the hall was crowded. The grand master, S. T. Pettigrew, made a good impression with the vast order. Now is the time for the order of $3,000 or more that the Grand Lodge voted for St. Louis to aid in this work. This amount of money has been set aside for St. Louis. We were at the Frand Lodge, and we know what was done. Probably the most peculiar will ever filed for probate in Indiana is that of the late George W. Deffenbaugh, of Kokomo, who left the church of his faith $50,000 on condition that his spirit be elected a member of the board of trustees of the church and consulted at every meeting. The money is left to the Swedenborg church. In his will Deffenbaugh also provided liberally for his wife and children. Congressman Burton replies to critics, declaring certain cities have carried on misrepresentation campaign. Dishonesty in Commercialism. The Bureau of Chemistry of the Agricultural Department at Washington issues regularly a bulletin containing food inspection decisions by the Secretary of Agriculture. Decisions 40 to 48 are before us and are very instructive. Among them the following: "Every package of food and drugs guaranteed by the Department must be so inscribed." "Compounds, imitations and blends of flour, etc., is permissible if the fact is plainly stated on the package." The Secretary of Agriculture seems to have great doubts about blended whiskies. He rules that "neutral," "silent," "cologne," "spirit," or alcohol diluted with water to a proof for consumption and artificially colored and artificially flavored does not become a whisky but is a spurious imitation. Flavoring extracts continue to perplex the Department, but Mr. Wilson is clear that that should not be sold as "strawberry ice cream that is flavored with imitation strawberry flavor." Strange is it, not that the commercial world should be so permeated with dishonesty and fraud and so anxious to perpetuate the same as to make necessary these weekly bulletins? St. Louis Bakeries Consolidate It is announced that the consolidation of seven of the largest bread bakeries in St. Louis will become effective Feb. 15, and that Adolph Boettler will be made president of the new corporation. The American Bakery Co., to which the seven bakeries will sell out-right will be capitalized at $4,000,000, divided as follows: One million dollars in 6 per cent gold bonds, of which $775,000 will be issued and sold or given in payment for the plants; $1,000,000 in 7 per cent preferred stock, of which $775,000 will be issued immediately, the balance to remain in the treasury; $2,000,000 common stock, a controlling interest in which remains with the bakers, and the balance to be given as a bonus with the bonds. The companies included in the deal are the Welle-Boettler Bakery Co., Heydt Bakery Co., Freund Bros' Bread Co., Hauck-Hoerr Bakery Co., Home Bakery Co., St. Louis Bakery Co. and the Condon Bakery Co. The McKinney Bread Co. is the only large bread company in St. Louis not included in the merger. It is said that a saving will be effected in many ways by the consolidation. There will be one set of officers instead of seven; one president and one board and one general office. Economy will, according to the plans, be realized in the company's organization. One management will purchase the flour and the other supplies for all the bakeries and concentration of management will, it is stated produce economy in every department. A. H. Capt. C. H. Tandy, a man who canvassed the state of Missouri in 1870 to enfranchise the rebels, of Missouri, was in Jefferson City this week pleading with some Democrats not to pass a Jim Crow law. Is it possible that men do so soon forget our vote that made them citizens in 1870? Dear Editor—Sunday was installation day for the officers of the Mission Circle. Rev. R.

Many a candidate thinks himself a "Clay; only to discover after the election that his name is "mud." If the Negroes are to give their votes, why are they not to be considered in the making up of the Republican ticket this spring? In a political race almost any politician is satisfied if he only succeeds in getting a place; but in St. Louis all the committee or their brothers must be supplied. A politician will shake your hand one minute and pull your leg the next. Let the Negro voters this spring say to the committee: "Remember last fall's election. What did we get for casting our vote for our beloved party? You go fishing next April." Don't play the fool any more. Some men vote as they pray, and they never pray unless it is to ask a political favor. Last fall all the committeemen got their favors in a political office. What did the Negro get? He received what the little boy shot at—nothing. Be careful men, how you vote, if you vote at all. "Our Vote." The ballot was placed in the hands of the Negro that he might defend himself. Now that the carpetbaggers of St. Louis have been working the Negro to a finish, it is now time for the Negro to apply the time he has been putting in politics. Let him put it in business or his race affairs. The cheap politicians are a hindrance to the Negro's progress. We are in St. Louis and we art a part of the body politics. We have voted solidly for the Republicans in the city, and no Republican can be elected unless the Negro votes. This being so, then what shall we expect? We should be accorded a seat at the pie counter. This has been denied us ever since the Hon. Chauncey I. Filley stepped down and out of power. What we want is a part of the pie; this old game of promise has passed. The cheap politician thinks that the Negro should be satisfied as a janitor or messenger. This is a sad mistake. If there is nothing in the political "heave-up" for the Negro, then let him stay at home on election day, for there is nothing in it for the Negro after the election. WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE? Two Negroes in the license department on the monthly pay roll. One Negro in the register's office at the city hall on the payroll. Three Negroes in the marriage license department on the monthly pay roll. Three Negroes on the city central committee, that they may represent the Negro. Three Negroes in the circuit clerk's office at the courthouse on the monthly pay roll. Three congressmen from St. Louis take one Colored man each and give him a position in Washington, D. C. Why we would like to see these changes is because: Only one can be elected without the 12,000 Negro votes in St. Louis, and that is the Hon. Richard Bartholdt. With this exception, all are dependent on the Negro votes, and not one can be elected unless we vote. Now, let the Negro demand representation in every place where your votes put Republicans in office. NOTICE!

Wh. it Has Caused It and What Is the Remedy? At no time can a man of business (Color sd) 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. The ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM Is Recognized As The Leading Afro-American Paper Of The West.

Final Erasure Nearly Turned Joke on Students. President Hadley, of Yale, was talking about his student days. "I remember a stately and venerable professor," he said, "upon whom some sophomores once tried to play a trick. "The professor, one morning, being unable to attend to his class on account of a cold, wrote on the blackboard: "Dr. Dash, through indisposition, is unable to attend to his classes to-day." "The students erased one letter in this notice, making it read: "Dr. Dash, through indisposition, is unable to attend to his lasses to-day," "But it happened a few minutes later that the professor returned for a box he had forgotten. Amid a roar of laughter he detected the change in his notice, and, approaching the blackboard calmly erased one letter in his turn. "Now the notice read: "Dr. Dash, through indisposition, is unable to attend to his asses to-day." CHINESE HAD FIRST ZOO. Institution of Menageries Was Due to Two Incentives. The Chinese had the first zoo. Menageries are thought to owe their origin partly to the cult of sacred animals and partly to the ambition of rulers to possess specimens of rare and valuable creatures from foreign lands or savage beasts from their own. In the simplest forms zoological gardens were one of the earliest developments of culture, and were familiar to the Chinese, Indians, Greeks, Romans, and pre-Spanish Mexicans in ancient times. The oldest recorded menageries Chinese, dating from 1150 B. C. The den of lions kept by Darius, as described in the book of Daniel, is an example of one of those primitive menageries, while the cult of sacred white horses by the ancient Greeks and Romans and that of so-called white elephants in Burma and Siam are instances of a second type. A live giraffe was received at the menageries of Schonbrunn as early as 1828. Jesus in Senate Chamber. Simon Gorgenheim will be the sixth Jew to sit as a member in the United States senate. The first Jew chosen to that honor was David Yules, who represented Florida from March, 1840, to March, 1853. He was born in the West Indies and his name was David Levy, by which he was known when he was elected as a member of the house of representatives in 1841. The second Jew in the senate was Judah P. Bendamin, who served from 1852 to 1857. He also was born in the West Indies. He represented Louisiana. Benjamin F. Jonas was born in Kentucky and represented Louisiana in the senate. Joseph Simon was a senator from Oregon from 1898 to 1903. Isidor Rayner was chosen as a senator from Maryland in 1904. But Who Can Conguer Fate? "The best way to defeat and conquer danger is to march right up to it and strike it between the eyes," says the Baltimore American. The man who is about to be run down by an automobile should remember this.—Kansas City Journal. THE CANADIAN WEST IS THE BEST WEST The testimony of thousands during the past West is the best West.

Jefferson City, Mo.—The committee substitute to the 2-cent passenger fare bill passed the house Monday. Ninety-nine affirmative votes were cast. Representative Kies of Cape Girardeau voted "no." This showed forty-two members absent or no' voting. The substitute is as follows: Any individual company or corporation owning, operating, managing or leasing any railroad or part of railroad in this state, shall be limited to a compensation per mile for transporting any person with ordinary baggage not exceeding 150 pounds in weight, not exceeding 2 cents per mile. Provided, that independent railroads not exceeding forty miles in length may charge not to exceed 3 cents per mile; and said independent railroad, corporation, company or individual shall file with the secretary of state an affidavit clearly, setting forth the fact that said road is owned and controlled absolutely independent of any other corporation or company. Provided, further, that no such individual or corporation shall charge, demand or receive any greater compensation per mile for the transportation of children of the age of 12 years or thereunder than one-half of the rate above prescribed; and provided, further, that the rates for transportation herein prescribed may be reduced as provided by law. Railroads Concede Defeat. It is conceded by the representatives of railroads on the ground that the passage of the 2-cent rate bill is imminent. They have offered to compromise by offering to place on sale mileage books at the flat rate of 2 cents, the books to be available for use by any person, and to accept, without any litigation a maximum rate of $2 \frac{1}{2}$ cents per mile. This compromise has been offered several times in the past few days, but its acceptance has been declined by both the house and senate committees. The house bill will be reported to the senate, and the prediction that one or the other measure will become a law can safely be made. Bilis Ordered Engrossed. The following bills were ordered engrossed: Mr. Dale's bill requiring railroads to cut weeds and brush along their right-of-way. Mr. Roach's bill extending special road districts. Mr. Stahl's bill providing for the improvement of public roads by dragging. Mr. Simmons' bill requiring insurance brokers in the cities to pay a license. Mr. Johnson's bill extending the authority of cities of the third class to levy license tax. Mr. Glick's bill relating to the destruction of wolves.

This was Representative Duncan's bill to prohibit the future organization of private banks. The same fate befell Representative Heathman's board of control bill. Mr. Butts' bill prohibiting one person from treating another in places where intoxicants are sold, after being so amended by Mr. Oliver as to include non-intoxicants and cigars.

Representative Whittaker introduced a bill appropriating $15,000 for the installation of elevators in the capitol and the construction of a subway leading thereto. Representative Pemberton introduced a bill making it unlawful for any county court to let out a poor farm or other county infirmary by contract, and providing that these institutions be managed by a superintendent to be paid a fixed salary. Representative Porch introduced the new capitol bill. It provides for the construction of the building by biennial appropriations of $500,000. These bills were passed by the house Monday: Mr. Houston's bill requiring saloons to close on Sunday, on days of general election, and nightly from midnight until 5 o'clock in the morning. Mr. Hill's bill shortening the time from six to three months for the taking of appeals from probate court judgments. Anti-corporation legislation is not confined to either branch of the general assembly to the form of the ordinary bill, for there are in both bodies joint and concurrent resolutions pending, carrying amendments to the constitution affecting corporations. One of these resolutions, that of Mr. Chancellor of Barton, seeks to engraft an amendment to the constitution which makes any person who is an officer or attorney for or director in any public service corporation operating in the state of Missouri or in the United States ineligible to election to either the senate or house. Representatives Haller and Willard earnestly advocated the engrossment of Representative Noyes' bill which was attacked from several quarters requiring the exercise of care in the operation of street railways and establishing the doctrine of comparative and a light negligence. One section of the bill was finally ordered engrossed. SENATE.

Senator Bradley introduced a bill in the senate aimed at fake mining stock. It provides that any person who knowingly makes or publishes in any way whatever any prospectus, report, statement, exhibit or any other form of publication concerning the financial condition or affairs of property or of any corporation, association, partnership, etc., which shall wilfully contain or misrepresent or exaggerate or have a tendency to give a greater value to the stock of said corporation, or its bonds or property shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and upon conviction shall be punished by imprisonment at not more than ten years in the penitentiary and by a fine of not more than $10,000, or shall be both fined and imprisoned.

Representative Muir introduced a bill providing for a state commissionorship of highways. It provides that in the construction of roads the state small bear two-fifths of the cost, the road district one-fourth, the county three-fourths, and the towns connected one-twentieth. THE VALUE OF PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE Personal knowledge is the winning factor in the culminating contests of this competitive age and when of ample character it places its fortunate possessor in the front ranks of The Well Informed of the World. A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the highest excellence in any field of human effort. A Knowledge of Forms, Knowledge of Functions and Knowledge of Products are all of the utmost value and in questions of life and health when a true and wholesome remedy is desired it should be remembered that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., is an ethical product which has met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of Known Quality, Known Excellence and Known Component Parts and has won the valuable patronage of millions of the Well Informed of the world, who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual use that it is the first and best of family laxatives, for which no extravagant or unreasonable claims are made. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of—Syrup of Figs—and has attained to worldwide acceptance as the most excellent family laxative. As its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well Informed of the world to be the best we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of—Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, whether you call for—Syrup of Figs—or by the full name—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna.

His many friends remonstrated with him about this characteristic, knowing that many unscrupulous hoboes would avail themselves of the opportunity, and that there was great danger of the old man being robbed. To these remonstrances the old man replied that he believed in "practical Christianity." "But," said one of his friends, "this seems very impractical. Suppose one of these men took it into his head to rob you one night?" "My dear young friend," was the reply, "I bid all enter in the name of God, but I prove my belief in practical Christianity by locking up their pants during the night." The John A.

With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-waist 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. A man will remember the kiss he failed to get long after the others are forgotten. CASTORIA For Infants and Children Bears The Signature Of In Use For Charles H. Flatcher. Over Thirty Years The Kind You Have Always Bought 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. The Infinite. From every point of view and from everything that the human mind touches we are in touch everywhere with the infinite, and the infinite is just as absolute a fact as the most finite thing touched by the mind or the physical being of man. Defiance Starch is the latest invention in that line and an improvement on all other makes; it is more economical, does better work, takes less time. Get it from any grocer.

Nobody who has not endured the suffering caused by nervous headache can realize the awful agony of its victims. Worst of all, the ordinary treatment cannot be relied upon to cure nor even to give relief. Some doctors will say that if a person is subject to these headaches there is nothing that can be done to prevent their recurrence. Nervous headaches, as well as neuralgia, are caused by lack of nutrition—the nerves are starved. The only way to feed the nerves is through the blood and it is in this way that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have accomplished so many remarkable cures. Mrs. Addie Merrill, of 39 Union Street, Auburn, Me., says: "For years I suffered from nervous headaches, which would come on me every five or six weeks and continue for several days. The pain was so severe that I would be obliged to go to bed for three or four days each time. It was particularly intense over my right eye. I tried medicines but got no relief. I had no appetite and when the headache passed away I felt as if I had been sick for a month. My blood was thin and I was pale, weak and reduced in weight. "I read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in a paper and decided to try them. I first noticed that they began to give me an appetite and I commenced to gain in weight and color. My headaches stopped and have not returned and I have never felt so well as I do now."

The real, essential, enduring progress of the world is moral, spiritual, religious. This is progress worth recording in the Book of God. In this progress Abraham stands out as a lighthouse landmark, lighted by God, and shining down all the ages. He is the third of the representatives of eras in the history: Adam—Noah—Abraham. His first name was Abram, "exalted father," and changed later in a vision from God to Abraham, "father of a multitude." The derivation of the name is unknown. Professor Sayce says that the name Abram (Abu-ramu, "the exalted father") is found on early Babylonian contract tablets. V. 1. "Now the Lord had said." Omit "had," Am. R. The Lord said, first at Ur (Gen. 11:31), and now again in Haran, where he was at the beginning of this chapter. Terah, Abraham's father, led the first migration from Ur to Haran, nearly 600 miles northwest up the Euphrates, on the road toward Palestine. "Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred." Why must he get away from these influences? Because only in a new country, free from the restraints of old customs and old friends, could the family and religion of Abraham best develop. "Unto a land that I will show thee." Here was another test of his faith. And the difficulty was greatly enhanced by the fact that he did not know where he was going. V. 2. "I will make of thee a great nation." Great and good motives are involved in this promise. Personally it would compensate for the loss of his own country. This promise was fulfilled in the Hebrew race, which has had a greater religious influence than any other, and which still exists; but more completely in the spiritual sons of Abraham, the whole Christian church (Gal. 3:29). So Christ says of Abraham, "He rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad." (John 8:56). "And I will bless thee." No earthly good can be so great as the blessing of God. "And make thy name great." Known, honored, loved through all the centuries, and by multitudes of people. To one who is really worthy of it, it is a great blessing to be the hero, the example, the ideal of many people. "And thou shalt be a blessing." A blessing in thyself, and a source of blessing to others. It is more blessed to give than to receive. V. 3. "And I will bless them that bless thee." Abraham's cause was to be so identified with God's cause that whosoever favored Abraham favored God and his kingdom. So far as we are the true children of God this is true also of us. "And curse him that curseth thee." This is the other side of the same promise. Abraham in character, works, and representative position as the founder of the church was so identified with God that whosoever hated and opposed him hated and opposed God. "The good man is not alone. Touch him, and you touch God." "In thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." As they have been, by the race he founded, by the spiritual training of that race, by the religious influences and the word of God given through his descendants, and most of all by Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who was of Abraham's seed. We, too, have great and precious promises, in Jesus Christ, of better things and a better country than Abraham had. Great lives are trained by great promises. V. 4. "So Abram departed," with all that he had (V. 5), "and into the land of Canaan they came." Canaan—"Lowlands," was originally the low land on the Mediterranean coast, but afterwards included the whole of Palestine to the Jordan. Practical Points Each one of us is called to go on a pilgrimage, like Abraham's, from sin and a worldly life to "a city which bath foundations whose builder and maker is God;" "a better country, that is a heavenly." (Heb. 11:10, 16). We know not at first just where we are going when God calls us from the world to enter into his service. It is always to the land which he will show us. Life and duty and work will unfold themselves to us as we obey the call. The better country is heaven, the eternal home of God's children. It is great folly not to part with your own faults, which is possible, but to try, instead, to escape from other people's faults, which is impossible.—Marcus Aurelius. A May Irwin Story. The irrepressible May Irwin tells of a little New Yorker who had a bath so seldom and wore such dirty clothes that it was more than the children and teacher could stand. So she was sent home to be made more bearable but returned as dirty as ever, accompanied by a sister who inquired what she was sent home for. The teacher explained. Then the sister burst out: "Well, say, me mudder says does our Rosie come here to git smelt or to git learnt?" FEARFUL BURNING SORES. Boy In Misery 12 Years—Eczema In Rough Scales, Itching and Inflamed—Cured by Cuticura. "I wish to inform you that your wonderful Cuticura has put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it became. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed, and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. When I think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard downstairs. The suffering of my son made me full of misery. I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor could I sleep. One doctor told me that my son's eczema was incurable, and gave it up for a bad job. One evening I saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give it a trial. I tell you that Cuticura Ointment is worth its weight in gold, and when I had used the first box of Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent, my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Steinman, 7 Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., April 16, 1905." POTENT LIQUOR IS SAKE. Lafcadio Hearn's Testimony as to Strength of Japanese Wine. There is no liquor in the world upon which a man becomes so quickly intoxicated as Japanese sake (rice wine), and yet none of which the effects last so short a time. The intoxication is pleasant as the effect of opium or hasheesh. It is soft, pleasant, luminous exhilaration, everything becoming brighter, happier, lighter; then you get very sleepy. At Japanese dinners it is the rule to become slightly exhilarated, but not to drink enough to talk thickly or walk crooked. The ability to drink at banquets requires practice—long practice. There are banquets of many kinds, and the man who is invited to one at which extensive drinking may be expected is careful to start in upon an empty or almost empty stomach. By not eating one can drink a good deal. The cups are very small and of many curious shapes. One may be expected to empty 50. A quart of sake is a good deal; two quarts require iron nerves to stand. But among the Japanese there are wonderful drinkers. At a military officer's banquet a captain offered me a tumbler holding a good pint of sake. I almost fainted at the sight of it, for it was only the first. But a friend said to me: "Only drink a little and pass it back," which I did. Stronger heads emptied cup after cup like water.—Letters of Lafcadio Kearn. MAY BE COFFEE That Causes all the Trouble. When the house is afre, it's like a body when disease begins to show, it's no time to talk but time to act—delay is dangerous—remove the cause of the trouble at once. "For a number of years," says a Kansas lady, "I felt sure that coffee was hurting me, and yet, I was so fond of it, I could not give it up. I paltered with my appetite and of course yielded to the temptation to drink more. At last I got so bad that I made up my mind I must either quit the use of coffee or die. "Everything I ate distressed me, and I suffered severely almost all, the time with palpitation of the heart. I frequently woke up in the night with the feeling that I was almost gone,—my heart seemed so smothered and weak in its action that I feared it would stop beating. My breath grew short and the least exertion set me to panting. I slept but little and suffered from rheumatism. "Two years ago I stopped using the old kind of coffee and began to use Postum Food Coffee, and from the very first I began to improve. It worked a miracle! Now I can eat anything and digest it without trouble. I sleep like a baby, and my heart beats full, strong and easily. My breathing has become steady and normal, and my rheumatism has left me. I feel like another person, and it is all due to quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee, for I haven't used any medicine and none would have done any good as long as I kept drugging with coffee."

Miss Peck Will Make Another Attempt Upon the Highest Andean Peak. Miss Annie Peck, whose chief pleasure is climbing mountains, has returned to New York from Peru, beaten in her attempt to climb the highest of the Andes, beaten not by the mountain itself, but the worthlessness of the men she employed as guides and porters on the expedition. She is convinced that she would have reached the summit but for the faults of her men and says she is going back with Swiss mountain men to make another attempt. As it was she reached a height of 18,000 feet, being then about 2,000 feet above the summit. This was at her first attempt. One of her men deserted and the rest got drunk on the alcohol which was carried as fuel for cooking. Besides they were all afraid of the trip and especially as they approached the top of the mountain, of which they have a superstitious dread. The second attempt was like the first, except that the men gave out sooner and so less progress was made before the attempt had to be abandoned. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable, and many years doctors pronounced it a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hail's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, the only Constitutional cure on the market, has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional drop to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucus surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send Address: F. J. CHINY & CO., Toledo, Ohio.

The ownership of the national banks of the United States is not in the hands of the rich few, as is commonly supposed, because fully one-half of the banks have a capital of less than $100,000 each. Twelve per cent. have capitalizations of from $100,000 to $250,000, while only seven per cent. range between $250,000 and $1,000,000. Imitations have been placed upon the market so closely resembling Allcock's Plasters in general appearance as to be well calculated to deceive.

Remember that Allcock's are the original and only genuine porous plasters—the best external remedy known—and when purchasing plasters the only safe way is to always insist upon having Allcock's.

Dr. J. J. Livingston, of Freeman, Ind., writes: "I prescribed Cardul to a lady patient, who had previously had three or four mishaps. She took 6 bottles and was soon made the happy mother of a well-grown boy, who is still living and doing well. I think that Wine of Cardul is the sole cause of her being able to have this child."

There's lots o' people that I meet I like extremely well. whom I set much store; Still they don't seem exactly like those dear old friends of yore. I sort o' think there's no folks now like those I used to know. Ah! there's no friends, I tell you, like the friends of long ago. The most o' people now-o'days, they dress right up to kill. But I've a sort o' hankerin that some- how dress don't fill: When we went to meet the people, and not their clothes to see. The modern times, it seems to me, they run too much to show; It kind o' sets me sighin' for the friends of long ago. Those dear old friends of long ago, in memory I see. Their kindly, honest faces, that were wont to smile on me; The hearty claspin' of the hand, that sort o' seemed to say. The gentle, tender voices of those friends of long ago. —Arthur J. Burdick.
