How is it when a man gets a divorce on the ground of desertion he does not get alimony? Miss Deware, who has been in New York for many months, has returned to our old St. Louis.

Williams, secretary; Martha Pride, assistant secretary; Maggie Brown treasurer; Lillie True, chaplain. Mr. J. W.

Stevens will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary Thursday evening, May 9, at 8 o'clock in the Central Baptist Church. Many persons, themselves graduates in the art of terpsichore, attend regularly the reception (bring with them friends that they wish to entertain) for the sole purpose of witnessing or taking part in this innocent and exhilarating amusement. The academy, like our public schools, is not for any particular set or class, but for all. On account of the very disagreeable weather, during the month of April and also the illness of Mrs. Martin, who has been ill since Jan. 15, Dr. Martin, of Nashville, has been prevented from making his visit to the lodges, councils and juveniles of the A. U. K. and D. of A in St. Louis. He will now await the call of the grand master, Sir William H. Fields.

M. T. Mrs. Harris called on Grand Master Fields of the A. U. K. and D. of A., who escorted her through the state capital and introduced her to many state officials. Mrs. Harris has a council in sight at the little City of Jefferson. We wish her success. SENSATION SPRUNG AT MEETING OF NEGROES. Lone Woman Attendant Makes an Eloquent Plea for Political Activity. A large gathering of Negro politicians, lawyers, ministers, doctors, teachers and newspaper men who assembled at 2923 Morgan street, to attend the regular fortnightly meeting of the Afro-American Protective league, were given a sensational surprise, in the form of an eloquent and impassioned political stump speech by a young woman, the only female present at the meeting. Mrs. Olive G. Stewart, whose husband, Robert L. Stewart, is a member of the league, and until recently president of the Hodcarriers' union, learned on Friday of last week that a resolution had been adopted at the last meeting of the league permitting the members to bring their wives and lady friends to the meetings, with a view of interesting them in the work of the league, and made up her mind to avail herself of the opportunity, and, baby in arms, she entered the meeting and took a front seat by the side of her husband. The fact that she was the only woman present did not in the least disconcert Mrs. Stewart, who took a lively interest in the proceedings, which consisted of a discussion of the effect of the new state primary law, upon the negro voters. After several speeches had been made on the subject, Mrs. Stewart, to the utter surprise of Chairman George W. Boldrew and every one present, claimed the floor, and proceeded to deliver a stirring address on the subject that fairly brought down the house. She arraigned the colored men for their slothfulness in political matters. She pointed out some of the most glaring shortcomings of the men, and after grilling them thoroughly, advised them to take their wives into their confidence in politics. Mrs. Stewart's Talk. She said, in part: "The greatest mistake Colored men make in politics is their neglect to take their wives into their confidence. Where I came from, out in Kansas, the women take as active an interest in politics as the men. This is a great advantage to the colored men, because, as a rule, the women of our race are better educated than the men. "For a generation, the schools all ST. LOUIS, MO.. SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1907. ovr the country have been turning out colored graduates, and there has not been an average of one boy in five. The wives of most of the honest laboring men of our race are intelligent women, who are capable of advising them in political matters. They read the daily papers, and keep themselves posted on what is going on in the world, and if their husbands are wise they will take them into partnership with them in politics, and together, they will make a strong team that would accomplish things that seem impossible." Mrs. Stewart is a native of St. Louis, but has lived for a number of years in Kansas, where she was educated. Her husband attributes all his success in business to the encouragement and aid given him by his wife, who is well educated and accomplished. $2 TO $5 A DAY Is easily made by our agents.

Who Was Agent for the Palladium for Five Years. Mr. Morris Barnes, of 2739 Wash street, departed this life Monday, April 29, after an illness of five days. It can with all assurance be said he is at rest with his Maker. The cause of death was the dreadful disease gastritis. He took to his bed on Wednesday and suffered intense agony until his death. Mr. Barnes was a true, honest, upright Christian gentleman and this is the loss of one of the most worthy men that a state, city or community could suffer. He was born in Richmond, Va., and his reputation can best be told by those for whom he was employed. For the past 26 years he has been employed by the Missouri Trust Company, and words are inadequate to express the confidence they placed in him. In religious circles he was connected with the Central Baptist church, Twenty-third and Morgan streets, and was a faithful worker in the church. Not only the Baptist, but all denominations knew his worth as a Christian, and the church will lose in the death of Brother Barnes one of its most noble workers. He was a member of Ezekiel Temple No. 37 of the Knights of Tabor, and was equally as faithful in his duties to the order as in other duties. He was faithful not only to th e Temple, but likewise to the individual members. Mr. W. A. Smith, of 1234 Gay street, is C. M. of the Temple. As a husband, he was equaled by few and excelled by none. He was loving, kind and always ready and willing to do what he could for his wife. For the past five years he has been an agent for the Palladium, and we have never had a more punctual, upright, honest agent in our service since the Palladium has been published, and that has been twenty-three years. It is an evident fact that the Palladium has lost its best agent, and one whose place will not be filled soon. The funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock from Central Baptist church, Twenty-third and Morgan streets. Rev. Stevens will officiate, assisted by other ministers. Widow of the late Charles T. Yerkes sues Wilson Mizner, her second husband, for divorce, alleging that he married her for her money; that he ill-treated her, and that he was unfaithful. Large factory is to be built in America by a Saxony inventor to manufacture textile fabrics out of paper yarn. D. of A. in the West. GRAPHS!

It is sometimes difficult in Central America to tell where one war ends and the next begins. Vienna dressmakers have won a strike for higher wages. We know who will foot the bills. Japanese may land in Canada, which has no impassable barrier separating it from the United States. Two men have invented great fuel savers within the last few days, but so far no one has come forward with a self-running lawn mower. Hetty Green merely observes of current large philanthropic gifts by rich people that they are "none of her business." Not in her line, in fact. The mikado and the crown prince of Japan are each having an album made of photographs of all the military and naval officers killed in the war with Russia. The story about Mr. Fairbanks' "hanging to a strap" in a New York elevated train is an obvious fake. One can't hang to a thing one has to stoop to reach. The unpleasant thing about it is that under recent weather conditions public opinion practically compels you to golf or admit that you are really younger than you look. Roumania is rebelling and rioting because Russia did. Which goes again to show that nations are merely aggregations of individuals, and that their foundation is human nature. President Bonilla, who, when last heard from, was fleeing, is to give battle again to his enemy. Evidently he believes in the maxim that he who fights and runs away will live to fight another day. Of course, a college education costs a good deal more now than formerly, but just think how much oftener and for how much less reason the collegians get their pictures in the papers nowadays. Admiral Dewey is preparing to move out of the house that was presented to him by a grateful people. Evidently the admiral has no more presidential ambitions and is sensible enough to do as he pleases. A Minneapolis man spanked his wife, after she had kicked him out of bed, and was sentenced to five days in the workhouse. How, asks the Buffalo Express can women be given more rights when men have no rights at all? In estimating the probable detriment to the railroad business involved in the hostility of American legislatures, says the Providence Journal, it should be remembered that most of the proposed statutes will never be passed. Whales weighing hundreds of tons sometimes rise slowly and deliberately out of the water until they appear to be dancing on the surface and then sink slowly back. A whale has been seen to dive over a small boat without touching—an estimated leap of 20 feet above the water. Nathaniel W. Voorhees, father of ex-Gov. Foster M. Voorhees of New Jersey, was a delegate to the national convention of 1860, which nominated Lincoln for the presidency. Mr. Voorhees, who is now nearly 80 years old, believes that he and the United States Senator Shelby M. Cullom of Illinois are the only surviving members of that historic gathering. President Roosevelt reads a greater number of daily newspapers at present than he was ever known to read before. If anything, he scans their news pages with more avidity than their editorial pages. The old custom of some member of his office force clipping from the daily papers merely such articles as in the judgment of the clipper the president may desire to read has been abolished, at least temporarily, and now every paper, whole, is laid before him immediately upon its delivery to the White House. Close elections are not uncommon in any representative government, but it is not often that one constituency is so closely divided for so long a time as the parliamentary division of North Tyrone, in Ireland. In the last five elections, beginning with that in 1892, the total number of votes cast has varied less than 400. The largest majority at any election was 91, says Youth's Companion. Once it was 55 and once 49. Nine was the majority of the Liberal candidate in 1906, and seven of his successor at the by-election in March of this year. A society has been formed in California to promote ideal marriages. But unfortunately for its success the members will first have to secure perfect husbands and faultless wives, and here again the old, old obstacles to Utopian schemes bob up in the shape of original sin and human nature. The report that John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was seen walking through Tarrytown with a bundle of stakes under his arm oughtn't to create any excitement. Why, a man of his income could afford to walk through town with a bundle of steaks under his arm. THE JAPANESE GREET KUROKI CLOSE ALL THEIR STORES AND SET OFF DAYLIGHT FIRE-WORKS OVER BAY. BARON IS GUEST OF THE CITY Governor of the State and Prominent Business Men Present at the Reception Given at a Fashionable Club. Seattle, Wash.—Gen. Kuroki and his staff, representatives of the Japanese to the Jamestown exposition, arrived in this city from the orient, after several hours' delay on Puget sound owing to fog. They received a royal and picturesque welcome by both local Japanese and Americans, who crowded every dock on the water front and lined the streets and the Japanese party passed through in a string of automobiles. The general is the guest of the city. He is being feted and dined. The party was taken for a trip around the city in automobiles, visiting various points of interest. In the evening a brilliant reception was given at the fashionable Ranier club, at which the governor of the state, Hon. Albert E. Mead, and prominent business men were present. Local Japanese are widely enthusiastic over the coming of their general. All the Japanese stores in the city were closed and there were many hundreds of Japanese to greet the general when he arrived on the Aki Maru. Daylight fireworks were set off over Elliott bay and as the party landed the native cheer of "banzals" were almost incessant. A hundred Japanese girls sang the national anthem and the general's carriage was almost covered with flowers presented by the school children. FOUR DIE ON OCEAN. Three Children of One Family Are Buried at Sea. New York—Four deaths, three in one family, were recorded on a ship log when the White Star liner Baltic arrived at her dock from Liverpool. In the steerage Gustav Svenson was bringing his wife and nine children to America. Three of the children were taken ill with laryngitis and died. They were buried at sea. The fourth death was that of Mrs. M. A. Robbins, of Boston, who succumbed to an acute kidney trouble. Among the passengers on the Baltic sea S. A. Perkins, proprietor of the Tacoma (Wash.) Ledger, and Bishop J. M. Horner of North Dakota. The ship's list showed 3,087 persons on board. STUDENT PRANK COSTS A LIFE. Man Electrocuted While Trying to Hang Effigy of Freshmen. Denver, Col.—W. F. Connell, aged 28, of Greeley, Col., a student in Denver university, became entangled in a live wire while trying to hang in effigy of the freshman class on a telegraph pole and was electrocuted. Plan American Building. Washington—The new building for the international bureau of American republics has attracted 136 architects, who seek the privilege of submitting plans. Of this number eight firms were especially invited by Secretary of State Root and Director Barrett of the bureau. These firms each will receive a bonus of $1,000 to compensate them for their trouble. Dismissed Standard Suit. Findlay, O.—George H. Phelps, who last Tuesday filed a suit in the common pleas court here, asking that the court issue an injunction restraining the Standard Oil Co. and its constituent companies from doing business in Ohio, asks the court to dismiss the petition, which was done. Mr. Phelps said he did not consider such action longer necessary. Grant Wage Increase. Salt Lake, City, Utah—The Utah Light and Railway Co. granted their 150 union electrical workers the increase in wages asked, namely, from $4 to $5 a day for foreman and from $3.75 to $4 per day for linemen. John Mitchell Is Very Ill. Spring Valley, Ill.—There has been no change for the worse in the case of John Mitchell. He is still very weak and sleeps but little on account of pains and soreness resulting from the operation. Examining Fences. Cheyenne, Wyo.—Under the direction of the department of the interior, a corps of special agents began work examining fences and titles to public land in Wyoming. Inspectors will start at the Colorado line and work northward through the state. Cold in Minnesota. Winona, Minn.—Following a warm May day, the thermometer in Winona dropped from 60 degrees at 5 o'clock to 30 degrees at 11 o'clock. Snow is falling BALLOON IS LANDED BALLOON IS LANDED FAILING TO BREAK THE RECORD, THEY QUIT. IN CHANGEABLE AIR CURRENTS The Balloon Traveled in a Zig-Zag Course, Thus Preventing Making Headway. Golconda, Ill.—Capt. De F. Chandler, United States signal service, and J. C. McCoy, of New York, failed to break the long-distance ballon record and to win the Lahm cup. The balloon, which left St. Louis at 7:20 Tuesday evening, landed five miles north of Golconda at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon. To have won the Lahm cup the balloon would have had to go more than 402 miles. Golconda is only 150 miles from St. Louis. Changeable air currents demonstrated to the aeronauts that they could not win the cup, and for that reason they made the landing near here. The balloon made an easy landing. It was brought to Golconda in wagons. McCoy goes with it from here to New York, while Chandler goes to Washington. Capt. Chandler made the trip for the purpose of making balloon observations for the United States army. He and McCoy, upon leaving St. Louis, hoped that the winds would carry them toward Washington, D. C., but the balloon took a southerly course immediately upon leaving the ground. It crossed the Mississippi river and continued southward near the river some distance, when it was driven back into Missouri. It then continued south until the Arkansas line. At 12 o'clock, noon, Wednesday, the balloon hovered over Cape Girardeau, Mo. A west wind there took it across to Illinois. Just, before crossing the river the drag rope struck a tree, impeding the progress of the balloon. Ballast was thrown out and the balloon rose to an altitude of two miles. The sun came out and it went still bigger. It continued east into Indiana. Here an east wind struck the balloon, driving it into the clouds. Emerging from the clouds, the aeronauts found themselves over the Ohio river, near Golconda. They then descended. MURDER CASE BEGUN. Charged with Murder in First Degree of Old Sweetheart. Springfield, Mo.-The taking of testimony was begun here at the trial of Garland Moore, charged with murder in the first degree for the killing of Clara West, once his sweetheart. The testimony of Mrs. Lewis West, a sister-in-law of the dead girl, placed on the stand by the state, tended to show Moore had made threats against Miss West. When on cross-examination, Mrs. West was asked if she had not heard Moore say he would not injure a hair of Clara West's head. Moore's eyes filled with tears and he buried his face in his hands and sobbed aloud. Mrs. West also wept and for some time was unable to answer the questions. Not Guilty of Perjury. New York—A verdict of not guilty was returned by a jury in the United States court in the case of Athole B. Reader, who has been on trial for several days on a charge of perjury. The charge against Reader grew out of a suit instituted by him some time ago to recover a certain sum of money which he claimed was due him as commission on Peruvian mining properties sold for J. B. Haggin. Increase of 1,094 Casualties. Washington—The accident bulletin issued by the interstate commerce commission for three months ending Dec. 31 last, shows that during that quarter the total number of casualties to railroad passengers and railroad employees was 20,944, an increase of 1,094 over the preceding three months. Short Line Rates in Nebraska. Lincoln, Neb.-Permission was granted by the Nebraska railway commission to the Rock Island to establish short line rates in this state, subject to the usual rule that intermediate points be given the same or better rates. Chinese Minister to Leave. Washington-Sir Chentung Liang Chang, the Chinese minister, took a farewell luncheon with the president Wednesday. The minister has been promoted to an important position in China and will leave soon. Fight to Win. Washington—"We are going to make a fight to win everything in sight in the coming election in the new state of Oklahoma next August," said Chairman James M. Griggs of the democratic congressional committee. Results in General Strike Baku—A general strike has broken out here in answer to the placards posted by Gen. Baron Taube, ordering the strikers in the Naphtina industry to return to work on pain of imprisonment and a fine of expulsion, and declaring that acts of violence would be mercilessly repressed. Forest Reserve Enlarged Washington-The Fish Lake forest reserve in Sevier county, Utah, has been increased by the addition of 77. 000 acres on the northwest side. Meets the 2d.

GOLDEN TEXT.—"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God."—Jas. 15.5. VOLUME 1748 (Ussher), two years after the release, Marah's chief butler, to B.C. 1707, which was made known to his brethren; seven years of plenty and two years of famine. PLACE.—The capital of Egypt at this time was either Zean (the modern San), one of the months of the Nile, or Heliopolis, one of seven miles northeast of modern Calro. PLACE IN HISTORY.—The Pharaoh of Egypt was probably one of the third and last Hyksos dynasty, and possibly the last Hyksos king. Apepl. Comment and Suggestive Thought. Joseph's Opportunity Comes at Last. —Gen. 41:1:14, first clause. After Joseph had been in prison for three years, for a third time dreams entered his life as a controlling factor. This time it was the dreams of Pharaoh, who saw in his sleep seven fat cows—the cow was a sacred animal to the Egyptians—coming up out of the one river of the country, the great Nile. Opportunities.—Life chances come in ways we never expect. "Joseph might have ranged the plains of his native Mesopotamia in wild freedom for a hundred years and never have found such a chance of promotion as came to him within the precincts of that gloomy and stifling dungeon."—Matheson. Joseph's Wise Interpretation and Sound Advice.-Gen. 41:14-36. An indication of coming success is Joseph's humility. "It is not in me," he said modestly, when told of the task before him; "God shall give Pharaoh an answer." "On the one hand humility, on the other faith. These two should always go together, and the union of the two secures the co-operation of Jehovah."-W. M. Taylor. The steps of Joseph's advancement are very clear, and may be followed by any young man desirous of "getting along in the world." (1) He was not discouraged and downcast by adverse circumstances. (2) He did his best wherever he was. (3) He made friends by his readiness to help. (4) He trusted God, and was always ready to acknowledge him. (5) He was modest, and waited for others to suggest his advancement. (6) He was patient and waited God's good time. (7) He made use of the little opportunities, and so was all ready for the great ones when they arrived. A Lesson of Patience.—"The butter's dream came true in three days, but there was not much of it when it was fulfilled. It took 13 years for Joseph's dreams to be realized, because the dreams meant so much. If a man's work is of small importance, he can be prepared for it in a little while. But when he has a great mission to fulfill, it requires a long time to fit him for it. Let no one grow impatient in God's school, however slow the advancement may be."—F. R. Miller. The Great Opportunity Nobly Used: Joseph Saves the Nation.—Vs. 46-57; Gen. 47:13-26. V. 46. Joseph, when he entered upon his great task "was 30 years old," so that he had been 13 years in servitude, since he was 17 years old when sold into Egypt. Immediately on receiving his commission he "went out from the presence of Pharaoh," not remaining among the novel delights and pleasures of the court, but going vigorously to work. His first step was to go "throughout all the land of Egypt," deciding where to place the vast storehouses that would be required, and issuing orders for their construction. V. 47. As Joseph had prophesied, "in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls," a kernel, or perhaps a stalk, yielding a handful, Egypt was at that time the world's granary, and it still exports a considerable amount of wheat. Was Joseph's Policy Just?—He sold the grain to the starving people, and there is no indication that he sold it at starvation prices. To have given it away would have paulized the people, and injured their character irretrievably. So the British government, in dealing with the terrible famine in India, enters upon large public works upon which the needy natives are employed, that they may earn money to buy bread. But then, when the money gave out, Joseph took the people's domestic animals in return for wheat; then took their land, and at last themselves, emphasizing the final purchase by gathering the rural population in the cities, probably for convenience in feeding them. Thus Joseph brought about a complete revolution in the social condition of the nation; everything now belonged to Pharaoh. The monuments show that at the close of the Hyksos dynasty there was no private ownership of land, all Egyptians being mere tenants, paying to the king as taxes one-fifth part of the crops. This account in the Bible is the only explanation of how the great change came about. It is never too early to begin to make ready for great opportunities. Joseph the boy was father of Joseph the man. Be sure that God will do his part, but will insist on your doing your part also. That wonderful power of electricity which gives us wireless telegraphy was in the world from the beginning, waiting for some one to see the opportunity it afforded: the oppoorties Make use of little opportunities as if they were great; you never can tell but they may turn out to be great. Most important of all, accept God's idea of what constitutes a really great opportunity. PROF. ANTHEN JOHNSON HAS TAKEN CHARGE OF THE Abyssinia Dancing School.

A few less janitorships and more positions of respectability. An appointment or two where intelligence and ability are the necessary qualifications. Consideration in a political way for all classes of Negro citizens. Republican party managers with enough integrity to redeem party promises. Our present state committee chairman at the head of the city committee. Less promise and more performance. More party workers like T. K. Niedringhass and Joseph McCoy, rather than party wreckers like Joseph D. Howe and Otto Stifel. Negroes given consideration and recognition because of their manhood and worth as citizens, rather than because of servility and a willingness to be contented with unjust conditions. What Negroes Would Like to Know. How far towards congress could Messrs. Caulfield and Condrey have gotten without the Negro vote? How many republican circuit judges would have been elected had the Negroes failed to vote? What sort of license collector would Mr. Alt have been had the Negro voters acted towards him as he has toward them? How much probate court business would Judge Holtcamp, adjudicate had the Negroes failed to see him on the ticket? Why Mr. Joy, the recorder of deeds, should feel that he has discharged his whole duty to the Negroes by one lone appointment of their race. How many members of the next general assembly will the republicans elect without the Negro vote? --- M. B. J. W. WHEELER, WHAT'S THE USE. The republican party managers, during the campaign last fall, were prolific in their promises to the Negro voters as to what they would do for the Negroes if they would only turn out solidly at the polls and help defeat the democrats. The Negroes, accordingly, did everything within their power, worked earnestly and without intermission to render every aid, and by their 10,000 votes put the republicans in charge of the offices. The republican office-holders and managers have since shown themselves to be as barren of performance as they were prolific of promise. They have very generously (?) given us $ \frac{1}{4} $ of 1 per cent of the appetitive places, when, according to the vote we cast, our allotment should have been 16 2-3 per cent. Our carpet-bagger chairman of the city committee, in discussing the claims of the Negroes, remarked: "Oh, let the Negroes wait; there are plenty of white men to be placed." By this class of men have the Negroes been buncowed, and will continue to be buncowed just as long as such men are managers of party affairs. Municipal positions formerly held by Negroes, even under democratic administrations, are, under the present conditions, thought to be, by this young political Napoleon, too good for the Negro, and he has provided an extra janitorship or two instead. In this manner has the party's pledges to its most loyal adherents been redeemed. By these actions we are expected to become enthusiastic and hold ourselves in readiness to rush to its rescue in the time of its need. Well, maybe we will, but again WHAT'S THE USE. Y. M. C. A. Notes. Mr. R. V. Truesdell, president of St. Louis Christian Endeavor Union, will address the men's meeting Sunday at 4:30 p. m. Several Sundays ago the Y. M. C. a quintette sang at the Christian Endeavor mission meeting, Taylor avenue and Westminster place, and gave such satisfaction that Mr. Truesdell is coming to return the courtesy. Least Sunday Prof. Last Sunday Prof. or Augusta, Ga., spoke, his subject being “What Think Ye of Christ?” He was an eloquent speaker and spoke in such a masterly way that the life of Christ was shown and seen in almost every- thing. A week of prayer services will be held next week at the building for men, lead by Rev. J. H. Brown. We are going out to fish for men. The Ladies' Auxiliary meets Monday evening at 8 o'clock. You are invited to be present at the baseball game Saturday, May 18, be- tween the Y. M. C. A. and Sumner High. Be sure and wear your colors. The financial campaign of the Y. M. C. A. begins May 15 under the direc- tion of the finance committee. Dr. O. T. Fields is chairman. Providence Baptist Notes. The music and singing of the choir is quite a drawing card at Providence and it is commonly reported that there is no better in St. Louis. Hear them and satisfy your mind as to the veracity of this declaration. A grand literary and musical programme was rendered at Providence last Friday evening under the auspices of the executive board of Berean Baptist association, and quite a neat sum was realized. We have heard but few programmes that excel it. The members of Providence is hereby urged to do their best in the rally Sunday. We hope to raise the small sum of $300. We also tender our friends a cordial invitation to come and help us in this effort. We are glad to be able to report that our ranks are being swelled with splendid Christian men and women. Some one joins at nearly every service. Two were received Sunday evening for baptism. Others promised to join next Sunday. Manager of St. Louis Palladium, By Their Acts Ye Shall Know Them. The republican party, by the aid of 10,000 Negro votes last November, were elected to offices, in which there are 240 minor positions. In appealing to the Negro vote during the campaign, promises were given that a fair distribution of positions would be made, should the party win. Have those promises been kept? The Negroes have been given six places. Is that a fair division? How long will the negro voters of St. Louis support such men? Let the Negroes use their 10,000 votes for the Negro's benefit, and support men who will give us a square deal. It were much better for us that we should support the best men in a bad party than to waste our energy and strength upon the worst men of a good party. John L. Brown .....2305 Chestnut Fannie C. E.

Billups is a candidate for the dead beat society. He formerly lived at 4279, 4348 and 419 St. Ferdinand Avenue. At one place he had a wife. Wait for the history of this man. East St. Louis, Ill., Clayton and Kirkwood are three places where crooked girls and boys go to be married. Oh, do they marry or say they are married? Please answer. The political editor of the St. Louis Palladium is making things lively, and from now on we intend to ask the reason why the 10,000 Negro votes are not respected. Watch the columns of the Palladium. A certain lady on Fairfax avenue makes it her business to eat dinner at the Newport with a certain gentleman, but—but when he is not around, another gentleman on Fairfax avenue seems to have a great swing with that same lady. In Want of a Preacher. Rev. A. A. Tolson, of De Soto, Mo, Box 983, has been called to be pastor for the Dead Beat Society. They have applied to the Palladium for his past record and of course we will give it. He will be their next pastor. After this week, we will make different arrangements with our advertisers. Arrangements will be made as the term of contract expires. To advertise is to attract attention, and that we will endeavor to do. Call at the office for full particulars. A would-be mushroom said when she found she could not pay for the Palladium any longer: "You need not send the paper any more." "All right," was the reply. A day or two after she said: "Don't send old paper any more." I thought of the poor creature and said: "God, pity such persons." Last week we advised the mothers and fathers to keep the bed for the girls that run off and get married to boys. We know she will want that bed soon. Any girl or man that has lived in St. Louis all their lives and can not get married here, ought to have their heads soaked, as their lives have not been what they should. Who Are You? A certain old Negro man, also a woman got quite indignant because a certain lady's name appeared in the St. Louis Palladium. I will say: You had better keep your mouth closed, as I know you too well. You are not the one to speak of the shortcomings of anybody. When subscribers get one month behind in paying for their paper, then they order it stopped. Then they begin to play a game of hiding, but the Palladium man is always out looking for such deadbeats. He is full of such Negroes. We have three on Lawton A mushroom said the other day: "I am done wid Negro papers, as I don't want to be bothered wid dem men coming down here in dis white barbershop to get dat money, for I don't want dem white mens to see you talking to me, as dey say dat you are dunning me for dat money.

The Orpheus Academy of Department and Dancing holds its sessions in True Reformers Hall every Friday evening, from 8 to 12 o'clock. The period of instruction to beginners is from 8 to 9:30, when commences the reception for all who dance. The object of the Orpheus Academy is to teach correct deportment in company, and the most approved mode of dancing, walking, rising and sitting. One of the important features is that Mr. Jas. W. Grant, master of the academy, each evening introduces one or more of his own easy, graceful compositions, in which he has ingeniously incorporated every step, gesture and position known to advanced deportment and dancing, and they are presented in such an entertaining form that they are always capturously encored. Many persons, themselves gradu- Mr. W. H. Mosby has been suffer- regularly the receptions (bringing with them friends that they wish to entertain) for the sole purpose of witnessing or taking part in this in- nocent and exhilarating amusement. ates in the art of terpsichore, attend schools, is not for any particular set or class, but for all. It stands for the best in everything. In short, it is a high class educa- l institution and a credit to the city. In the few short years of its exist- ence the influence of the Orpheus has grown to such an extent that no im- portant function, public or private, is considered complete without one or more of its dances being introduced, and its pupils can be readily distinguis- hued, even by a casual observer, from those who do not attend. At all times absolutely perfect order prevails. The management reserves the right to refuse admission to objectionable persons or to expel any pupil for disobedience or unbecoming conduct. During the heated spell large double rotary electric fans keep the atmosphere at a comfortable temperature. At the request of a large number of parents, Mr. Grant has consented to instruct a class for children. The class will meet at True Reformers Hall every Saturday afternoon, from 4:45 to 6:30 o'clock, commencing May 11. The class will be for children only, and no grown persons will be admitted except the parents and guardians of children attending the school. It is the earnest desire of the management that as many parents or guardians accompany the children as can possibly do so, no fee being asked for their admittance. The price of admission to each instruction for the children will be 25 cents. All wraps checked free of charge. CAPT. C. H. TANDY. Provident Hospital Excursion.

Prominent among them is the high born Yu, who before his conversion prided himself upon his birth and his learning and spoke contemptuously of the Gospel as the “cult of the igno- rant.” But Yu is by no means the only influential Korean who has ac- cepted Christ, and is doing ardent, personal work. Another notable soul winner is Cho, whose sister married the brother of the emperor of Korea, Since Cho's conyersion he has opened his house for nightly meetings for Bible study and prayer, and is using his great influence with telling effect among the people of his class. Another great personal worker is Kim, formerly chief of police of Seoul. Kim had read the Bible considerably Defore he was arrested—at the time ‘of the political upheaval in Korea— and thrown into jail. While in jail he pondered more deeply upon the word, and was converted. He is now assistant secretary of the Y. M. C. A, and Dr. Gale says he possesses a won- derfully winning character, and is a genuine sleuth-hound for souls, draw- ing them from among the men in highest authority, as well as among school boys whom he may meet. Ko was of a very different character from either of these others, being a gambler, a drunkard, a liar, a thief, an adulterer and a street brawler. He tried to kill himself when he found that he was hopelessly in debt, and the missionaries nursed him back to life. The truth of God gradually dawn- ed in his heart. He accepted Christ, and has since that time showed the game beautiful, humble spirit and earnest zeal for soul winning as has been shown by the other men of more fortunate early experience. In the matter of depth of understanding of the spiritual meaning of the Word he exesis. ‘LLayman’s. Missionary Society. Missionary work is everywhere and always largely promoted by ministers and women, Men give much of. the money, but not many laymen give the time and attention which the work deserves. It is to change this condi- tion so far as possible that the Lay- men’s Missionary society has been or- ganized, says Youths’ Companion. A general committee has been created, composed of prominent men in the different denominations. It is not to be a new missionary board, but an interdenominational organization to work through existing boards. Two things in particular it will attempt: a campaign of education in the churches of the United States, by which, through conferences in private houses, it is hoped to reach the influential men; and the appointment of commis- sions of 50 or more laymen who shall visit foreign missionary fields and re- port what they see. The first party will sail from the Pacific coast early in August for Japan, China, Korea, the Philippines, India, Arabia, Turkey and Africa, Budaweient Fund der Claravmen, ‘We learn from different sources that a movement is in progress among sev- eral of the religious denominations to create endowment funds for the bene- fit of their disabled and superannu- ated clergy.

The Army and Church Attendance. So sharp is the line between church and state in this country that the war department has lately decided that an army post commander exceeded his power when he ordered a noncommtis- sioned officer to attend church. The department has declared that those soldiers who voluntarily attend serv- ices may be ordered to form in line and march to chapel decently and in military order, but that the authority of the commander stops there.

ADVICE TO RHEUMATICS Noted Physician Tells How to Prevent and Cure Rheumatism, Kidney and Bladder Troubles. (By Geo, Edmund Flood, M. D.) If you would avoid Rheumatism and Kidney and Bladder Troubles, be mod- erate in the consumption of heavy, rich foods, substitute as far as possible soups, broths, fresh milk and drink water—lots of water. Take plenty of time to eat, and don't eat after you have had enough, even if it does taste good. If your work is confining take a moderate amount of exercise each day in the open air. Of course, neither diet, water, rest nor exercise will cure these afflictions. I advise them as preventives only. For the benefit of the readers of this arti- cle who are now afflicted with Rhew- matism, Kidney, Bladder or Urinary trouble, and desire to be cured quickly, I give below, complete in every detail, the famous prescription which has made me so successful in the treat- ment of these diseases. It 1s the most certain cure for these diseases that I have ever used. It {s pleasant to take, it is not expensive, it can be filled by any druggist, and I believe it is the greatest prescription for Rheumatism, Kidney and Bladder Trouble ever writ- ten. It is also a valuable spring tonic and blood purifier. Jf you are a suf- ferer, save this, take it to your drug- gist and have it filled, or get the in- gredients and mix them at home. Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic, % ounce. Concentrated Barkola Compound, 1 ounce. Fluid Extract Prickly Ash Bark, % drachm, Aromatic Elixir, 4 ounces. Adult dose, take one teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime; children, one-fourth to one-half teaspoonful after meals. After you are cured follow the ad- vice I have given you in regard to diet, exercise and water, and you will not need the services of a physician again for these ailments.

Lunnitz, prefect of St. Petersburg, obtained ad- mission to the semi-official party at which the deed was committed. After the crime all the guests were detained and their tickets were examined. ‘There was one ticket the rigthful owner of which was not present. It was no other than that of Premier Stolypin himself. The murder had been committed ander cover of the in- vitation ticket of no less a personage than the prime minister. The premler had not been able to go, and his ticket fell into the hands of a member of the secret police named Nakolene. He resold it to the revolutiouists for $16,- 000.

The office of president of the United states, the executive place of the nation, it seems, will be used for the next two years to play politics. Never in the history of this country has that office been a place for dirty politics. It seems that when a senator will not bow to the will of the occupant of that office he, the president, will take his patronage to whip them in line. When he insulted the 10,000,000 of Negroes in this country by discharging the battle line of the 24th and 25th infantries, and then when he spoke through congress he warned the Negro to stay in his place; again, when he attended the Gridiron Club in New York, he expressed himself in this language: "All coons look alike to me." Here he further insults the better class of Negroes. When a friend of mankind takes the part of the Negro, or humanity, he threatens to appoint a Negro in his state as an insult. Still, nevertheless, Senator Foraker of Ohio opens the campaign in Ohio against such actions as are introduced by the president. At last we have reached the point, "Last Sunday's News." The president sent for his hired servants of the government and said that he would send them in the south to allay the wrath of the Negro. It is now rumored that the president will take the register of the treasury, this man Vernon, to bring back the Negroes to the president, regardless of his (Roosevelt's) many insults to the Negro. When Vernon comes to Missouri and many other states he will find that the Negro of this country will stand up for their friend at all times, and the pleadings of the man Vernon will not soft-soap them. He is nothing more than a hired servant of the government, whom the president is using for his gain. The president will pass out of office and die, but the principles for which Senator Foraker is now upholding will never die. We hope that the Negroes will not forget their true friends that will stand up for them at all times. Certain candidates for the nomination for president of the United States and certain other men of high official position in the federal government who have a preference for those men for that high office are busy just at this time in gathering their lines around the Negro voters in the southern and western states, looking for the aid of the Negroes in shaping the personnel of the next Republican national delegation from those states, with the purpose in mind to control said delegation for their candidate. The Negro is now about to assume his quadrennial importance in the afairs of the nation, when he has until now been of such little consequence as not to merit even casual consideration at the hands of those men who would now flatter him into falling in their net. Will the Negroes of Missouri be flies to their brand of vinegar? or will they seek a bait less nauseating? Are the Negroes of Missouri to be caught by the doughbait of the eloquence of the fisherman from Washington and erst while of Kansas, who has received instructions from "Teddy" to "catch" them, or will they use their brains and think for themselves? There is a very decided feeling of unrest and dissatisfaction among the Negroes of this city because of the lack of fair dealing on the part of the Republican party managers and office holders who were elected last fall. Notwithstanding that the Negroes cast one-sixth of the Republican vote in St. Louis, they have received (excluding some janitor jobs) just six places in the various city departments, and this, in face of the fact that in the offices controlled by the lately elected Republicans, there is a total of two hundred and forty clerk and deputyships. While the Negroes did not expect to receive their full pro rata share, they are very much humiliated to know that their ten thousand and more votes are to be represented by those six appointments. When the small majorities which both Congressmen Caulfield and Courey had last fall is considered, it is plain to be seen that the Negro vote in their respective districts is what elected them, and by the same token where would the city ticket have been, from the circuit judges down to the license collector, had it not been for these votes, and then to be given six places. It is squarely up to the local party managers to change existing conditions if they hope for that interest and aid from the Negroes in the coming elections that has always been so cheerfully rendered in the past, and NOW IS THE TIME. The Negroes of St. Louis have just cause for complaint because of the lack of recognition shown them by the managers and office holders of the Republican party. It is true that little consideration has been shown them in the distribution of appointments and no regard at all displayed concerning the desires of the most influential and respectable of our race. On the other hand the leading colored men in the city, who unselfishly devoted their time to help bring success to the parive been completely ignored and their indorsements set at naught by the local party managers. We believe that a radical remedy should be applied and under the new election law passed in the last general assembly, we have means wherewith to do it. That law provides that all central committees both state and city, shall be elected by a direct vote of the people, thereby insuring against ring or machine-made managers, who too frequently are in power, to the detriment of the voters and party workers interest, with no other thought than the one of serving themselves, therefore, for the Negro to be in a position where he can do the most good for himself and party, it is absolutely necessary that he shall be a voter, and the first step is that he shall register and be eligible to participate in the primaries of his party, to the end that he may help to select such men for office, both executive and legislative as will give him a square deal. We appeal to every Negro to register, and to prevail upon his neighbor to register, thus raising ourselves to a position of importance to the party, and assuring up a voice in its affairs. First Baptist Church News. Last Sunday was indeed a day of joy and pleasure, as well as a financial rally day, and happy smiling faces were plainly seen in every department, namely, from the early 5 o'clock prayer meeting, Sabbath school, B. Y. P. U. up to the regular church service, and more than all it seemed a pleasure to the members to cast in their mites to help save their church. The Sunday school had quite a large attendance and, before the close, the superintendent, Brother M. Hamilton, reminded one and all that there would be a grand financial rally in the auditorium of the church at all the services today and he wanted the school to give liberally. This was done, for many little boys and girls were seen going around with their gleanors, begging for the church. Dr. W. L. Perry was billed to preach the 11 a.m. m.sermon. He was on time and, after a few sweet songs were rendered by the choir, under the leadership of Mme. M. A. Gilree, Rev. R. H. Cole introduced Dr. Perry. His text was based on (Ananias and Sophias) lying, and was very appropriate for the occasion. The many good things that he had said or made a good effect and will long be remembered. Rev. Cole opened the doors of the church, after which the rally started. Tables were set in rows for the different clubs, which had been working very faithful for the last two months trying to raise the $200 that were portioned. Each of them, while this was taking place, it seemed some of the participants would be run over, so anxious were the contributors to help out this worthy cause. In reality, it looked almost like a love feast. At the close Rev. R. H. Cole announced that services would begin again at 3 p.m. and Rev. J. L. Choran would preach at that hour, after which another rally would take place. Fully half an hour or more before 3 o'clock Revfl J. L. Choran came marching in with a goodly number of his members from Tabernable Baptist Church, all of their faces being wreathed with smiles. They were pleasantly entertained by the members of the First Church until the hour of 3 arrived. After a few selections by the choir were sung, Rev. R. H. Cole introduced Rev. J. L. Choran, who, after some preliminary remarks, read his text from the 12th chapter of John and 21st verse, which is as follows: Sirs, we would see Jesus. He demonstrated the fact that he was equal to the situation and proved beyond a doubt that to see and commune with Jesus anyone's hearts must be pure and, if the heart is pure he or she will live a consistent Christian, and will support the church. Many other things he said was altogether true and soul-searching. He made a lasting impression on all that were present, after which a collection was taken up at which his members gave very liberally at the 8 p.m. service. Another collection was called and the liberal spirit was manifested, as had been during the other collections, and when the sum of nearly $1,000 was announced, there was amens, etc., all over the church. This money will be paid out on the main debt in August, when the next note falls due, at which time it is hoped that another thousand dollars will be raised, making $2,000 to be paid on the main debt, thereby cutting it down to $10,000. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. has banded together to raise the interest money, which is $230 for the church by Aug. 7. Our prayers are for a glowing success for these auxiliaries. The hodcarriers will have their annual sermon preached next Sunday at the First Baptist Church, at which time a collection will be raised for the Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. A large crowd is anticipated. NOTICE. Sam, the Tailor, is the man that patronizes Negro business men, and our people ought to patronize him. 204 North Fourteenth street.
