A grand day at Providence last Sunday, preaching at 11 a. m., baptizing 1 p. m. Lord's Supper, 3 p. m., and preaching again at 8 o'clock p. m. Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves at each of these services. The attendance Sunday night was unusually good. Let every pastor, congregation and lover of the cause of Christ begin now to plan to spend one hour with Providence on the first Monday in June, at which time we will celebrate our first anniversary. There will be a platform meeting at 3 p. m., at which time all the pastors will be called upon to speak words of cheer to a struggling people. The choir will prepare special music for the anniversary, come and listen to the best choir in St. Louis. This is the opinion of members of other churches, if you are from Missouri, we are prepared to show you. Don't fail to get the Palladium for particulars about the anniversary.

A. last Sunday. Much enthusiasm was manifested and a number of men expressed a desire for a better life. The initiatory game of the Y. M. C. A. and Summer High baseball series commenced on the 16th inst. On May 30th the grand contest for the Y. M. C. A. will be played. The financial committee has fixed its standard at $5000. Let all public spirted persons and friends rally to the good cause. The educational work is on in full blast. The Y. M. C. A. and the Summer High school baseball team will play the second game of their spring series at Handlan's Park, Grand and Laclede avenue, Decoration Day, May 30, 3 o'clock p. m.

Open on Sundays. First Baptist Church News. Rev. R. H. Cole preached a grand and glorious sermon last Sunday morning. The many good things he said stirred the very souls of all the members present as they were never stirred before. The collection that was taken up among the great throng of Odd Fellows and their friends was indeed remarkable. All of the different organizations throughout the city are always welcome at our church. The B. Y. P. U. will have a financial rally on the second Sunday in June at which time all of the unions in the city will be invited to take part for the purpose of raising $300.00 more to pay on the interest note on the seventh of August. Rev. George W. Gaines, of the A. M. E. Zion church, will preach the financial sermon that day, and it is hoped that a large crowd will be out and contribute liberally. The Sunday school and young people union have bound together to raise the interest money and as much more as possible by the seventh of August. This is a good move in the right direction, hence, it is hoped that harmony and good will will prevail and a successful end be the results. Mr. Wh. Young of 2226 Walnut St., chairman of the trustee board, is an influential member of the church, and a Christian gentleman. Always working and struggling in the interest of the church, day and night, and he is never heard to complain. Such as he is a blessing to the church and also the community in which he lives. Mme. M. A. Glires the noted organist of our church will open a singing school for the purpose of teaching all who come, how to sing by note. This will be on the night of choir practice. All of the members should send their children out and have them take advantage of this golden opportunity. Mrs. J. W. Brooks of No. 10 Johnson St., was called to the sick bed of her dear aunt at Jefferson City last week. It is presumed that the aunt is better at this writing.

Odd Fellow's Annual Sermon. The Odd Fellows turned out last Sunday to celebrate their annual sermon at First Baptist church. The order made a splendid showing as they passed the Palladium office, and we noticed many of our best citizens are members of the Order. The sermon was preached by Rev. Gains, pastor of Big Zion church, 2625 Morgan St., and it was one of the most powerful object lesson sermons that we have ever heard. Rev. Gains is a natural pulpit orator, with jestures and actions suited to every point made. The collection amounted to $80.88, of which amount the church received $27.00. After the sermon they marched back to the hall, 2923 Morgan St. The opening of the new hall Monday night marks an epoch in the history of the Odd Fellows. The Order was out in large numbers and the fair ladies were out to do honor to the occasion. Many were there whom we knew, but owing to the immense crowd, we were unable to go very far.

WILL OF P. J. KING SUSTAINED BY JURY. After Deliberating Less Than Fifteen Minutes Verdict for the Negro Beneficiaries Is Returned. In Court. The jury which heard the testimony in the case of the King will contest returned a verdict sustaining the will. Attorney Baldy Vinson, the shrdlush Attorney Baldy Vinson represented the proponents of the will, and Attorneys Whipple and Whipple represented the white contestants. The case waired in Judge Winfield's court. The jury deliberated less than fifteen minutes. Peter J. King died several months ago, leaving an estate estimated to be worth fully $60,000 to Effie Belcher, a negro woman, and negroes in Little Rock by the name of King. The white heirs of Peter J. King, residing in Pennsylvania, contested the will on the grounds that the testator was insane when he made the will and that under influence had been exerted upon him to cause him to draw the will. The Kings, named as beneficiaries, introduced testimony to show that Peter J. King was their father and that the intimate relation of father and sons had always existed between them. Under the terms of the everdict, the will stands admitted to probate. Durand Whipple, one of the attorneys for the contestants, said last night the case will not be appealed to the supreme court.—Arkansas Gazette, Little Rock. An Auspicious Opening. More than fifty boys and girls were in attendance at the opening of the childrens academy of dancing and deportmet, at True Reformers hall, Saturday afternoon. A large number of parents were present to witness the first instruction. The success of the academy is assured. Instruction begins at 4:45 every Saturday afternoon. Great Western Club. The Great Western club will give a grand evening excursion, on the magnificent steamer, City of Providence, Monday evening, June 10th.

Open on EXTON STUDIO 2339 MARKET ST. --- ST. LOUIS. MISSOURI Why have so many earthquakes? Their only charm is novelty, and that is wearing off. But the real American dementia and brain storm center will be found on the ball ground. The government printing bill has been cut $2,000,000 the past year. That helps some in Panama. Paris waiters may want to wear mustaches to hide their smiles when foreign diners try to talk French. English courts are enforcing that anti-tipping law. What a change for the tourists in "dear old Lunnon!" Critic says Canadians are breezy, but he may have been introduced to a few who were putting on a lot of airs. The Philadelphia man charged with having 150 wives scattered throughout the country probably does not believe in family reunions. King Edward keeps up his reputation as a lover of travel, but he can't have the fun he did when the throne was far away in the uncertain future. There are hopeful signs that most of the members of the douma realize that their usefulness depends on keeping their temper. It's hard, but necessary. Ambassador Bryce smokes a well-seasoned pipe while he is at work. There is no other way by which the true literary atmosphere can be created, maybe. The New York legislator who would enact a law requiring all automobiles to have fenders might have gone a little further and asked that no one but a surgeon be allowed to drive a motor car. W. T. Stead says he can't understand why a man should stand up for the purpose of letting a lady have a seat in a street car. He needn't worry. It isn't likely that he will ever have a seat to offer. There's scarcely anything which can fairly be called news in the announcement that the defeated president of Honduras will plot a new war, from his place of refuge in Mexico. That's what an ex-president is for, in Central America. Col. Henry Watterson's latest message home is an expression of his opinion that if the people of the United States could visit Spain and take a look around, they would go back home mighty well pleased with themselves and their own government. A New York minister apologized to his congregation from his pulpit the other Sunday for having written a "no-account" novel. He said he never would repeat the offense and would do his best to suppress this production. Now if the novel writing latty will go and do likewise much will be forgiven them. Their sins are many. Not many Americans pass these spring evenings in reading the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, but whether they realize it or not, their ways of thinking are permanently affected by this little man who died in Konigsberg a hundred years ago. His ashes are to be transferred to the cathedral, to a tomb beside those of Prussian kings, and a splendid monument is to be erected to him. At Penon, Mexico, a suburb of Mexico City, may be seen what is perhaps the smallest church in the world. It nestles under the shadow of a small volcano. The church is about ten feet high and 12 feet wide. Modern Mexico says: "Whenever a couple is married at the little altar of the church there is barely room for the groom and bride to turn around at the same time." It was not the heavens, but the celling of the assembly hall, which fell in Russia the other day, a few hours before the Duma had assembled. The accident was caused by loading the rafters with too heavy ventilating apparatus. The Duma itself is a good ventilating-machine for the Russian unrest. Let us hope, says Youth's Companion, that it may be heavy enough only to break down Russian oppression. Mothers and other humane persons will agree with the remarks of a lecturer in the Harvard Medical School, who said the other day, in speaking of the persons who had asked him whether it is worth while to save the lives of diseased babies, "I reply that no baby ought to die. It is the brain which, after all, does the work, better or less well, according to the physical development. We cannot judge beforehand at birth what the individual may become later." The earthquake season seems to have been fully inaugurated. The shocks which worked devastation in Mexico were followed by others felt across the water, and even the castles in Spain were badly wrenched, though there is no report of actual destruction. There is a strong suspicion that it will be a good deal easier to establish a place for a colony in Colorado for the relief of the poor from the congested districts of New York than it will to get those same poor to occupy it. BLENDED WHISKIES ATTORNEY GENERAL GIVES DIS TILLERS A HEARING. 90 PER CENT SOLD IS "BLEND" Bonaparte Thinks a Test Case Should Be Brought in the Federal Courts. Washington. — Attorney Genera. Bonaparte gave a hearing to distillers and rectifiers on the modification of the attorney general's opinion submitted to the president April 10, relative to the labeling or branding of spirits under the new pure food act. Former Commissioner of Internal Revenue Yorkes and former Congressman Pemphill represented the interests which were opposed to portions of the attorney general's ruling, which, it is claimed, would deprive the makers of blended whisky of the benefit of the word "blended," as formerly used upon their labels. It was represented that fully 90 per cent of the whisky sold in the United States is blended. The attorney general at the close of the hearing said that there were administrative reasons why the matter of labeling whiskies should be finally determined as speedily as possible, and therefore he would allow one week in which parties in interest might file with him additional briefs. He said further that the names of the different kinds of whisky that he had mentioned in his opinion were simply suggestions and it was not his thought that distillers and others should be required to designate their productions by the particular names he had given. CHARGED WITH FORGERY. Warrant to Be Asked for in International Policyholders' Case. New York.—A warrant charging forgery against one of the defendants in the case of George R. Scrugham, manager of the International Policyholder committee; Charles F. Carrington and Charles Stirrup, under arrest on a charge of conspiracy, will be asked by the prosecution, according to an announcement by Assistant District Attorney Smyth in court here. Mr. Smyth's announcement came after he had informed the court that the case of the prosecution was practically finished. He had only one more witness, he said. CHARGED WITH CONSPIIRACY. In Connection with Pittsburgh and Tube City Scandal. Pittsburg—C. R. Richardson, a broker, and A. B. McGrew, his business associate, were arrested on a charge of conspiracy to bribe in connection with the Pittsburg and Tube City railroad scandal, in which $70,000 and bills granting franchises from McKeesport to Pittsburg figured. William A. Martin, a member of common councils, was recently convicted on a charge of conspiracy in the same case and is now under bond pending an appeal. Tulsa Gets Presbyterian School. Tulsa, I. T.—Henry Kendall college of Muskogee, a Presbyterian institute established seventeen years ago, moved to Tulsa by the special committee of the synod of Indian Territory. Tulsa gave a twenty-acre site and $100,000 to get the school. The Muskogee property, valued at $125,000, will be sold and the proceeds made a nucleus of an endowment fund. A. B. M. U. Receipts $976,062. Washington—At the meeting of the American Baptist Missionary union the annual report of the treasurer shows that the receipts aggregate $976,062. Appropriations for the year were $966,410. Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. Henry Williams, of Iowa. Next General Conference in 1910. Nashville, Tenn.

The destruction was witnessed by an immense crowd of people. Standard Oil Dividend: $9. New York.—The directors of the Standard Oil company declared a quarterly dividend of $5 a share. This compares with a dividend of $15 declared three months ago. Czar Has Another Escape.

RUEF BEFORE GRAND JURY PURSUANT TO HIS DECLARATION, GOES ON WITNESS STAND FOR EXAMINATION. TO ASSIST THE PROSECUTION Submitted for Nearly Two Hours to Questioning, but Would Say Nothing for Publication— More Indictments. San Francisco Cal.-Abraham Ruef Thursday made good his declaration that he would, following his change of plea to guilty in the extortion cases against him turn state's evidence and will assist the bribery-graft prosecution in its campaign against municipal corruption. Ruef, obeying a subpoena from the grand jury, served upon him at the Fillmore street prison house shortly before 3 o'clock, went, incharge of Special Agent Burns, Elisor Biggy and another guard, to the grand jury chamber in Native Sons' hall, where he took the witness stand and submitted to an examination that lasted from 3:20 o'clock until after 5 p. m. When the ordeal was over he called the newspaper men around him and said that he had promised the grand jury to divulge nothing. District Attorney Langdon and Assistant District Attorney Heney refused to make any statement whatever. From Special Agent Burns it was learned that the only matter in which Ruef was questioned was the alleged bribing of Mayor Schmitz and 18 supervisors by the United Railroads to grant to that corporation a change in its franchise allowing the electrifying of its 250 miles of street railway system in this city. Tells of Some Transactions. If Burns' understanding of Ruef's testimony is correct, the fallen boss told the grand jury that President Patrick Calhoun, assistant to President Thornell Luallly; Chief Counsel Tirey L. Ford and Assistant Counsel William M. Abbott of the United Railways paid or caused to be paid the sum of $200,000 for the privilege named; that $61,000 of this amount was Ruef's "fee"; that $50,000 went into the pocket of Mayor Schmitz, and that the remaining $89,000 was handed to the 18 supervisors, 16 of them receiving $4,000 each, another demanded and getting $10,000 and Chairman Gallagher of the finance committee being paid $15,000 for acting as the gobetween. After the examination of Ruef was concluded, the grand jury remained in executive session until 6:30 o'clock. Subsequently the statement was made, but not officially confirmed, that indictments had been voted against the four high officials of the United Railroads and Schmitz, as predicted by an officer of the prosecution two weeks ago. Paris—The police of this city have been engaged for the last two months in tracking a band of international spies and the leader has been arrested here. The band succeeded in getting possession of plans of Bizerta, an important naval station of France in Tunis, which they offered to sell to the French minister of marine for $3,000, threatening otherwise to dispose of them to a foreign government. The thieves made a rendezvous for the negotiations at Cairo, which was kept by detectives who arrested two of them. The leader of the gang, an English, giving the name of Blanchard, was not there, but the authorities succeeded in running him to earth in Paris, where they arrested him. Think Prisoner Is German.

Memory verses. 13, 14. or', verses. 13. 14. OLDEN TEXT. —"Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses."/—Psalm 107:13 TIME.—According to Usher's chronology Jacob went down into Egypt about 1700 B. C., and the sojourn in Egypt was for 215 or 430 years from that time. For the length of captivity see Gen. 15:13, 14; Exodus 6:1; Gal. 3:17. RULERS.—I am the generally agreed by scholars that the reign of the oppression was Rameses II., and the Pharaoh of the Exodus his son, Menephthah I. Comment and Suggestive Thought. The Chosen Family.—Vs. 1-5. "The first seven verses are introductory to the whole book. In accordance with the almost invariable custom of the writer, there is first a brief recapitulation of preceding events, and then a statement of the actual condition of affairs."—Joseph Parker. V. 1. "These are the names." The 12 sons of Jacob only are given, the heads of the families or clans. "Every man and his household." "The 'household,' according to the Hebrew idea, included not merely wife and children, but men-servants and maid-servants, dependents and retainers, even hirelings who might quit the service and go elsewhere when it pleased them."—Rawlinson. How numerous these households were can be surmised from the fact that Abraham could muster 318 armed men to rescue Lot (Gen. 14:14); Isaac was mightier than some of the neighboring kings (Gen. 26:16); Esau and Jacob had to separate because their followers were so numerous (Gen. 36:6, 7). V. 5. "And all . . . were 70 souls." The list is given in Genesis 46, where two women are included, Dinah, Jacob's daughter, and Serah, a granddaughter. Perhaps, as Canon Cook suggests, these were named because they remained unmarried. Dean Payne Smith (Bampton Lectures) estimates that altogether, with their households and retainers, they numbered 3,000 souls. "That so large a body should be favorably received need not excite surprise." The Reasons for Removal—"There was need for Jacob's family being removed from Canaan, as some of them were becoming much tainted with the idolatry and pollution prevalent there. In Egypt, on the whole, life was purer. Then there was a risk of their amal-gamating by marriage with the doomed Canaanites; but the Egyptians were so different a race that there was no such risk with them. To be among the Egyptians would also be a benefit to them in other ways, for they would learn much from a people so skilled in all the arts of life and so superior in civilization."—Blaikle. Even the afflictions they were to suffer there were not the least of their gains from the stay in Egypt, as we shall see. A Period of Prosperity.—Vs. 6, 7. It was a wise providence of God that introduced the period of bondage in Egypt with a period of liberty and prosperity; otherwise, the Hebrews would not have remained in Egypt after the end of the famine. A Period of Adversity.—Vs. 8-14. The period of prosperity through which the Israelites passed was from Jehovah; but so, no less certainly, was the period of adversity which followed as soon as they were strong enough to endure it. Both were parts of God's great process of development and training. Rameses II. as a Builder.—"This king was the most entrising builder of all the Pharaohs, and that means the sacrifice of tens of thousands of lives. He built temples and reared monoliths and colossal statues. His temples were approached through long avenues of sphinxes. Out of the solid rock at Ipsambul he hewed two spacious subterranean temples, and set up at their doors four human figures 60 feet high. Among his public works was a chain of fortifications along the entire northeastern frontier of Egypt, for 160 miles. By his command immense dikes were built on the lower Nile and in the Delta. Canals were dug and cities were built."—Prof. E. P. Kumphrey. The Climax of Cruelty.—Ex. 1:15-22. When Pharaoh found the Israelites flourishing even under this terrible oppression, he resorted to measures still more severe, ordering the destruction of their male infants as soon as they were born. The females would be harmless, and would prove valuable slaves. "A similar policy was pursued by the Lacedemonians toward the helots, by Mithridates toward his Roman subjects, and by the Calliph, Hakem, toward the Egyptians."—F. Johnson. When the official midwives evaded the king's command, "by a refinement of cruelty to which the Herod of the future was not equar, he required parents to execute the sentence of death on their own children."—Mumphrey. This was indeed the climax of affliction. Practical Points. "Prosperity is a great teacher," said Hazlitt; "adversity is a greater." Affliction was called by Mallet "the wholesome soil of virtue," in which patience, fortitude, and all, the graces take root and flourish. Affliction gives us sympathy for others in distress. "In the wounds our sufferings plow immortal Love sows sovereign seed."—Massey. Affliction strengthens our moral fiber.

Savina of Men. of Our Race, Il plead for the decency and intel- ligence of m yrace. They nor I have nothing in common with the brutes, thieves and cutthroats that make up but a small part of all races. We are not in search of admixture or social life with other *aces. We ask for even political and social rights. We affirm that the “gentlemen” of the South are blind when they think they cannot only deprive us of our politi eal rights, but that they ean appropri- ate unto themselves the power they have robbed us of because while the North and West may unwisely allow the South to rot us. The North and West will not allow the South to rot the North and West. With all our soul, we protest as cruel that in the great North and West we cannot obtain hon- est employment commensurate with our ability to work with all of our soul. We ask that our color be dis- regarded and that we be accepted or rejected upon our worth as men and ‘women. M. Luther Nicholas. ‘The grand opening of the Odd Fel- lows hall at 2923 Morgan street, last Monday night, was a grand success. We arrived there at 10:30 p. m. Great erowds of people thronged in every part of the building, and in the park. ‘The gate-keepers had the tickets of twelve hundred paid admissions. The building is the best situated building in the hands of any society among our people in the city. We were met at the gate by our old friend, George B. ‘Temple, whom ye haye named the nat- ural born secretary. Mr. Temple, es- corted us through the great crowds of people into every room in the build- ing, then into the park on the east side of the building. Everybody we met was happy. The household sis- ters were serving the guest with all delicacies in season in a rush. Tur- ner’s band was enlivening the guest on the first floor, while Madam Hall was entertaining the throng on the second floor. ‘The literary program which was in charge of W. H. Davis, was an excel- lent effort toward entertaining the guest. Mr. Davis delivered the ad- dress of welcome. The response was made by Wm, H. Johnson, P. G. C., K. of P., both gentlemen were at their dest. It is a toss up as to which made the best speech. The property cost the Order ten thousand dollars. It has a frontage of 69 feet 7 inches on Morgan, running back 134 feet to the alley. Four lodge rooms are to run at the same time. Two for Odd Fel- lows and two for any other society that wants a meeting place. We see noth- ing but success for the Odd Fellows. The spacious parlors on the ist floor are rented for private receptions, etc. ‘Under the leadership of little George ‘Temple, the Odd Fellows have landed safely. We congratulate them upon their success, If all the Odd Fellows want to continue to be up with the times, they must take the Palladium and pay for it. Children’s Class at The Orpheus. The Orpheus Academy of Deport ment and Daucing holds its session: in True Reformers Hall every Fri day evening, from 8 to 12 o'clock. ‘The period of instruction to begin ners is from 8 to 9:30, when com mences the reception for all whe dance. The object of the Orpheus Academ; is to teach correct deportment in com pany, and the most approved mode o dancing, walking, rising and sitting. One of the important features i that Mr, Jas. W. Grant, master of the academy, each evening introduces on¢ or more of his own easy, gracefu compositions, in which he has ingen fously incorporated every step, ges ture and position known to advances deportment and dancing, and they ar presented in such an entertaining form that they are always rapturous ly_encored. Many persons, themselves graduates in the art of terpsichore, attend reg. ularly the reception (bring with them friends that they wish to entertain) for the sole purpose of witnessing or taking pant in this innocent and ex. jhilarating amusement. The academy, lke our public 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 education al institution and a credit to the city In the few short years of its exist ence the influence of the Orpheus ha: grown to such an extent that no im portant function, public or private, { considered complete without one o: more of its dances being introduced and its pupils can be readily distin guished, even by a casual observer from those who do not attend. At all times absolutely perfect or der prevails. ‘The management reserves the right to refuse admission to objectionable persons or to expel any pupil for dis obedience or unbecoming conduct. During the heated spell large gouble rotary electric fans keep the atmos phere at a comfortable temperature. At the request of a large number o' parents, Mr. Grant has consented t instruct a class for children. The class will meet at True Re formers Hall every Saturday after noon, from 4:45 to 6:30 o'clock, com mencing May 11. The class will be for children only and no grown persons will be admit ted except the parents and guardian: of children attending the school. It is the earnest desire.of the man agement that as many parents o1 guardians accompany the children a: can possibly do so, no fee being aske¢ for their admittance. ‘The price of admission to each in struction for the children will be 2: ents. All wraps checked free o! charge. THE SELIKA CHORAL SOCIETY. which meets at True Reformers Hall, every Tuesday evening at 7:45 o'clock was organized to fulfil a long felt need —the building up and maintaining of an efficient permanent band of mixed voices for singing Grand Choruses, Chureh Music, Cantatas, Oratorios Operas, ete. All who love good music, whether they sing or not, are cordi- ally invited to join this ennobling in- stitution. Membership, free: Lessons, 25 cents. Floyd Ross, President. Andrew U.

Children’s Academy. Saturday afternoon, May 11, will witness the opening of the Children's Academy at True Reformers’ Hall. Instruction will begin at 4:45 and parents are urged to have their chil- Gren there by that time, in order that they may lose none of the preliminary Tessons. Parents and guardians of children receiving instruction will be admitted free and are cordially invited to at- tend each session of the school. ‘The wraps of all present will be carefully looked after by a lady at- tendant without any charge. As the school is for children only, no adults will be admitted except those who come with the children, MORE NEGRO DETECTIVES. The police board appointed two more Negro detectives, W. H. Owens and Thos. L. Scott. We hope they will be a credit to the race and a ter- ror to evil doers. The Paladium’s ad- vice to them is: “Do your duty and have no pets”. ‘ HON. W. M. FARMER. The attorney of Chicago, but for- merly of St. Louis, has met with many reverses in the Order of U. B. F. Last summer he met his Waterloo in the National Grand Lodge. Since that time he refused to turn over the property of the national grand secre- tary, Dr. Berry. About two months ago he got his, demit from Rice Lodge of this city. which he has in his pos- session, but finding no time to put it in any other Lodge in Illinois, he now wants Rice Lodge to take his demit and hold him a while longer. We would say to our humble brothers and co-workers that cannot be done, it will have to be taken under advise- ment. for several weeks. Chickens will come home to roost.

Stevens with a beau- tiful set of dishes, After the program the pridal party and all of the guest were served witu a sumptuous menu. In the circular sent out by the St Louis anti-Jim Crow committee, there was an oversight in recording the amounts given by the different individ- uals, institutions, lodges, ete. ‘The two lodges omitted were Damon Lodge, K. of P., $10.00, and St. Pythias Lodge, K. of P., $5.00. The managers regret the oversight very much and hope this statement will suffice. REY. GEO.

They have applied to the Palladium for his past record and of course we will give it. He will be their next pastor. We do not cater to any man or woman or set of men and women. We have an opinion; that to reach the people we must have subscribers and those we know we have. No person will advertise in any paper unless it reaches the public, and to reach the public generally it must have many subscribers. We want everybody's ad, but we do not stultify our opinion because some one does not like it. It is a general custom now for men to have house-keepers. I wonder what the general public would think if the Palladium Man had a house-keeper. We intend to investigate these things and show them up. At the First Baptist church last Sunday a pocket book was taken, containing $7.50.

Jamestown Exposition Notes On the opening day of the exposition, April 26, the executive committee designated by the general government to supervise the Negro exhibit and the officers of the Negro Development Co. were the guests of the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition Co., a commodious private box in the grandstand, not far from that occupied by President Roosevelt and party, being placed at their disposal. The president noted their presence and greeted them with a graceful bow of recognition. The day was an ideal one, and the vast enterprise, though incomplete, started off quite auspiciously. The field agents have notified all exhibitors to send in their material at once, as the floor and wall space is now being alloted, and delay in shipping goods may result in having many desirable exhibits crowded out. The Colored American Steamboat Co. has been organized and has placed a swift and commodious steamer in the exposition service for the use of Colored patrons. The corporation in control includes a dozen or more of the solid Afro-American citizens of Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va. Owing to the crowded codition of the boats between Washington and Norfolk, the general manager has asked that prospective passengers of both races engage their accommodations as far ahead as they can. President J. G. Merrill, of Fisk University, was in Norfolk last week, concluding arrangements for the installation of the large and instructive exhibit to be made by Nashville's famous institution of learning. The educational exhibit will embrace specimens of the work of 125 of the leading schools of the country, conducted by Colored people. Both the higher education and the industrial training will be fully represented. New Jersey, which has been covered with exceptional thoroughness by Field Agent W. E. Hope, will be handsomely represented. Among the principal exhibitors from that state will be Miss Bertina B.

BOARD MANAGERS: MATTERS FEMININE. Pretty Things for Gifts CARE AND COMFORT OF THE INVALID SOMBER PARASOL IS OUT OF DATE DEVICE LEARNED FROM THE TAILOR USEFUL AND EASILY MADE LIT TLE ARTICLES. Workbox of Pasteboard Covered with Figured Cretonne — Photograph Frames Are Always an Acceptable Present to Offer. The pictures show useful little gifts which would not be difficult for the home worker to copy. The workbox was made of pasteboard, covered with figured cretonne or silk, with the inside in plain color material to match. The box can be opened and laid flat by untying the ribbons at the corners, so that it is a very convenient style for traveling, as well as for everyday use. The inside is fitted up with pockets to hold buttons, spools and thimbles, and a needle case and pincushion are also added. These pockets are shirred O Photo Frame. onto a rubber band, which is run through a casing in the top of each, two pockets being placed on alternate Little Attentions Which Help the Nurse and Her Patient. Spring is a most trying season for the invalid who must be confined when all nature and humanity seem to be springing into new life outdoors. Little attentions and comforts are more than ordinarily welcome just now in the sick room. If the patient is beginning to sit propped up in bed do not depend upon pillows. Make a good home-built imitation of the supports used in hospitals. Select about six strong two-inch boards and set them into a frame big enough to tilt at an angle of 45 degrees or more from the top of the head of the bed to the mattress. Paint this rack white to match the iron bed and fasten it to the top iron rod with stout tape or canvas bands. Lay one or two pillows against this and you will find the invalid rests more comfortably than against a nest of pillows. If the patient complains that the room smells close, and yet you know that it is properly ventilated, try burning this new form of sick room in- SOMBER PARASOL Colors of All Kinds Will Be Seen During the Summer. Every color of the rainbow will be carried by fashionable belles this summer to shade their faces from the blazing rays of Old Sol. A charming lingerie parasol, to be worn with duck or organdy gown, is of white linen. A hemstitched flounce, full and fluffy, softens the edge, while over it depends medallions of embroidery. Above these is an inch width of insertion of princess lace. The whole makes a simple sunshade, but an inexpensive one. Pongee is always serviceable, and for that reason not costly. A green and cernu one is intended for morning wear. The main portion of the shade is of natural colored pongee with large dots of deep moss green. The edge of the parasol cover is of the pongee, then alternate a wide band of green and narrow ones of the natural tone and green again. Upon each section of a white silk parasol is embroidered a flower-filled basket. This lovely design is wrought with ribbon bows, and the jewel pat- Proper Method to Mark Both Sides of Waist or Coat. There are many lessons in dress-making that can be learned from the tailor and his methods. One of the most valuable is to be found in a study of the way in which he marks, the two sides of a waist or coat, so that plaits to be laid or trimming to be applied shall be exactly the same in both. First, he cuts the two pieces and lays them together face to face; then he either places over them a paper pattern, which is carefully marked, or chalks the proper marks on the upper piece. Then with a long double --- sides of the box, with a flannel needle case on one of the other sides and a pincushion on the other. Photograph frames, though not new Pretty Workbox. are always acceptable as gifts, the tapestry and brocade kinds being much liked, as they are an acceptable addition to any drawing-room table. The one shown in the drawing was of rich, softly colored brocade, showing a landscape pattern, the edge being bound with gilt tapestry braid. The shape of the frame is first cut from heavy cardboard, then a sheet of cotton batting is fastened on. Next stretch the silk over the frame, pasting the outside edge before cutting the silk for the opening in the center. The back is of heavy cardboard, either tinted to match the frame or in plain dark green. A slit is then cut, through which the photograph can be slipped, and a cardboard or brass standard is inserted, after which the back is glued to the front part and the edges bound with the braid. cense: Soak a sheet of brown paper in saltpeter, allow it to dry, powder it thickly with dried lavender leaves. Lay this in a deep pan and burn it. If the patient can sit in in bed for brief periods of relaxation at once provide a bed table. If you have an old sewing table with legs that fold you can brace this on either side with pillows or cushions and the legs folded under, or, better-tail, cut off the legs until they are still only about six or eight inches long and place this queer table over the patient's knee. On it can be arranged games, writing materials or for a child toys. If the patient is fond of flowers and the cost of cut blooms is beyond the family purse, this is just the season when ferns and wild flowers can be used to advantage. Set a deep, cracked dish in the bottom of a fancy bassket with or without handles, fill it with dirt and moss and transplant woodland treasures to the sick room. They will not live many days, but they will give the patient much pleasure and the care of them. watering and cutting off dead leaves, furnishes distraction. ```markdown ``` tern edge is soft with pinks, blues, lav enders, yellows and greens. thread he takes alternately one long and two short stitches over the indi cating lines.

BUCKET-SHOPS GREATEST EVIL CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR SAYS THEY TEACH MEANEST FORM OF GAMBLING. DANGEROUS AND CORRUPTING Claims Nine Out of Ten White Men and Boys Can Trace Downfall to Dealing in Pictures. Enterprise, Miss.—Each Brewer, candidate for governor, addressed the voters of this section here and discussed the enforcement of the law and upbuilding of Mississippi. He said he believe in clean public officials, and that he was in favor of the passage and enforcement of laws against malfeasance and misfeasance in public office; that incompetent, corrupt or drunken public servants should be promptly removed from office, and that the laws should be so amended as to enable the state to begin proceedings in any county of the state against state officials, thereby avoiding the political influence and pull always felt at the capital. He regarded bucket shops the most dangerous and corrupting influence now operating within the borders of the state, declaring that they teach the young generation how to gamble, and that, too, the meanest character of gambling—gambling on the sweat and face of every honest, toiling Mississippian. He said that nine out of ten failures by merchants and white men and boys who have gone wrong and been sent to the penitentiary can trace their downfall to the bucket shop and gambling in cotton futures. He touched upon many other subjects, among which were the old soldiers and the elective judiciary. As to the latter, he said he was in favor of electing the judges. He said the present appointeive system was crystallized into law in 1869, and that it was not democratic. CROP DAMAGE EXAGGERATED. Farmers Report that the Wheat Condition Has Improved. Topeka, Kas.—F. D. Coburn, secretary of the state board of agriculture, is receiving many letters from men throughout the wheat belt of Kansas saying that the condition of the wheat is improved compared with the first of the month, when Mr. Coburn issued his spring crop report. Most of these letters come from the correspondents whom Mr. Coburn has selected to report the condition of the different crops. All are farmers, most of them having lived in Kansas fifteen years or more, and fully understand crop conditions. These men insist that the reports of crop damages sent out by grain men and others are much exaggerated. The letters in every instance show an improved condition of the wheat. In some instances an improvement of 10 to 15 per cent is reported. Will Ignore Boise Subpoena. Denver.—James Kirwin, acting secretary of the Western Federation of Labor, announced that he would ignore the subpoena summoning him as a witness for the prosecution in the Haywood case, as he did not regard the service as legal. The subpoena was telegraphed and read to Kirwin at Montpelier, Ida., by an officer who boarded the train as the federation secretary was returning from Boise. Kirwin said he expected to testify for the defense in the Haywood case. Commission to Investigate. San. Bernardino, Cal.-That the interstate commerce commission is to make a thorough investigation of the Southern Pacific wreck at Colton several weeks ago, in which twenty-four persons lost their lives, is indicated by the receipt by Coroner Wan Wier of a communication from Secretary E. A. Mosely of the commission asking that a certified copy of the testimony taken at the coroner's inquest be forwarded at once. New Suffrage Law Worked New Suffrage Law Worked Vienna. The elections held throughout Austria under the extended suffrage for members of the lower house of parliament passed off, as a general thing, very quietly. The regulations of the new suffrage law worked admirably and prevented the disorders which have characterized previous contests. Ambassador Creel's Mills Burn El Paso, Tex.—The large flour mills at Chihuahua, Mexico, owned by Ambassador Creel, were destroyed by fire. Loss. $100,000. Caruso Pays the Fine. New York.—Frederick W. Spelling, counsel for Enrico Caruso, the tenor, paid the $10 fine imposed on the singer last November and announced that the appeal to the appellate division of the supreme court had been withdrawn. This ends the case. Passed Over the Veto. Albany, N. Y. —The senate passed over Mayor McClellan the veto the New York teachers' bill destined to equalize the salaries of men and women teachers in New York city. Sued for Divorce. St. Joseph.—Jesse H. Hartman, secretary of the Hartman Furniture company, which has stores in St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Joseph and a dozen other cities, was served with a copy of a divorce petition brought against him by Aldine Edith Hartman, who claims to be his common-law wife, as he aligned from a train here. The plaatift, a remarkably pretty St. Joseph girl, declares that they agree to be husband and wife in April, 1904, and she states they have since lived together in Omaha as such. $2,500 Reward for Slayer. Mexico—Edward Reed, a prominent stockman, and highly respected citizen of Mexico, was assassinated by robber who, after beating and robbing him, unconscious in the thesdrhulum bing bln, left him unconscious in the southern part of the city. He died from the result of his injuries and exposure. Governor Folk, the county court, the Mexico Ledger and the citizens of Mexico will offer $2,500 reward for the arrest and conviction of the assassin. The people are thoroughly aroused about this outrage. Actress Sues Fatier-in-Law. Webb City.—Pauline Litteral, actress, who sued her father-in-law, Jacob Litteral, for $10,000 for the alleged alienating of the affections of her husband Charles Litteral, who died last week, arrived here from Mexico and began legal proceedings to remove Litteral's body from a Webb City cemetery, where the father had buried it, to Illinois. Missouri Doctors in Session Jefferson City.—The attendance at the first day's session of the Missouri State Medical Association was hardly up to expectation, scarcely 100 physicians being present. There is quite a display in the hallways and rooms on the second floor of the capitol of surgical instruments medical work, charts and other matters that chiefly interest physicians and surgeons. Folk Quickly Signs Bills Jefferson City—Gov. Folk made short work of signing bills passed by the extra session. There were four of them, and all received his approval. They were the general appropriation bill, the demurrage bill, the dereelert official bill and the dramshop bill. These measures were all signed within two hours after adjournment. Vo Pay Death Penalty. Jefferson City.—Harry H. Vaughan and two other convicts who killed prison guards, while attempting to break jail, were sentenced to be hanged June 27. The decision was rendered in Division No. 2, Supreme Court, to which they had appealed their convictions in the lower courts. Sullivan County Benefited. Milan. The heaviest rain that has visitedullivan county since last September fell here Monda, night. It began raining at 8 o'clock that night and continued to fall steadily up to 100 Tuesday. Pastures and early gardens are greatly benefited. Capttal Has Real Dry Sunday Jefferson City.—The Capital City had its first real dry Sunday since the saloons were first closed by the Citizens' League six years ago. When the saloons were first closed several "did-liftlug" clubs were organized and the browseries did a big Sunday business. Dzen Reading Prayer Book St. Joseph.—Alderman Andrew E. Arnell, a democrat politician and officeholder for fifty years in Buchanan county, died at his home here from a stroke of appoplexy. He was reading a prayer book when he died. Columbia Merchant Dies Columbia—Moss H. Parker, merchant, died here following an operation. He was 54 years old, a Knight of Pythias, Maccabee and an Elk. He was president of the Parker Furniture Company. St. Joseph Street Car Men Strike. St. Joseph—After negotiating for several months, the wage scale of the street railway employees was finally settled with an increase of 10 per cent to employees. Threats of a strike had been made. Benj. A. Massey Dies Springfield.—Benjamin A. Massey, one of the best known lawyers in Springfield, and well known throughout the state, fell dead from apoplexy at his home here. He was 65 years old. Thomas B. Patton, Veteran, Dies. Kansas City.—Thomas B. Patton, 67 years old, died of paralysis last night: at the Women's and Children's Hospital.

Missouri Legislature The extra session of the forty-fourth general assembly has adjourned sine die. Gov. Folk made short work in signing bills passed by the extra session. There were four of them, and all received his approval. They were the general appropriation bill, the demurrage bill, the derelict official bill and the dramshop bill. These measures were all signed within two hours after adjournment. Gov. Folk complimented the extra session, declaring that it had "made a most commendable record, and rounds out the work so well begun at the regular session." Fourteen Bills Passed. The record of the special session shows 14 bills passed, as follows: Cooper—Providing for the appointment of a special prosecutor to assist in the prosecution of derelict officials. Humphrey—Prohibiting any wholesaler or manufacturer from securing a dramshop license and establishing a uniform bond to be prepared by the Attorney General. Ely—Prohibiting the telephoning of bets, with an emergency clause. Kinney—Extending the scope of the factory inspection law to include cities of 10,000 inhabitants, and providing for graduated inspection fees. Dowell—Prohibiting any person without license from establishing an order house in local option counties. Cooper—Giving municipal assemblies power to regulate rates charged by public service corporations, providing appeal to the court as a civil case, and authorizing the municipal assembly to name a commission or committee to investigate what is a proper rate. Bradley—Enabling employees of mines to recover for injuries to the negligence of fellow servants. Humphrey—Authorizing the governor to name attorneys to investigate a $2,000,000 claim against the United States government. Carter—Prohibiting the sale of liquor on election or primary days between the hours of 5 c'clock in the morning until 7 in the evening. Burch—Appropriating $75,000 for the pay of the special session, and the general appropriation. Polk—Prohibiting any person from placing the name of another person on a dramshop petition or remonstrance without the latter's consent. Pemberton—Preventing the sale of liquor within five miles of the State University at Columbia. Kimrey—Regulating Demurrage and storage charges. Jefferson City—By a vote of 104 to 12, Senator Humphrey's dramshop bill passed the house Thursday. It was made the target for a number of amendments, but few of them were passed. Representative Simmons got through one which included brewers among those who are denied being granted saloon license. There was no opposition to it, but when Representative Whitecotton offered another, providing that in the issuance of licenses the testimony shall be in writing and made a part of the records, there was a storm of protests, and it was defeated on the ground that it did not apply to revocation of licenses as well. It was considered after an exciting little discussion, but the house sustained its position with added emphasis, the amendment being defeated by more than twenty votes, while in the first instance it lost only by two. Representative Pemberton offered an amendment to add a section providing that on any day when saloons are closed as required by law there shall be a removal of all devices obstructing the view of the interior from the exterior. This brought Representative Botsford to his feet with the declaration that he was being wearied by all these amendments, which were only ill-disguised attacks upon the bill. The amendment was lost. Representative Farris offered an amendment providing for a court review, either in the granting or revocation of a license. Representative Huck took a shot at the bill, trying to amend it so that it would require five persons instead of two to make complaint upon which proceedings could be instituted for the forfeiture of a dramshop keeper's bond. The shot went wide of the mark. Representative Santin sent up the club lid section, attempting to have it incorporated in the bill, frequently as it has been eliminated from other measures and in previous bouts. He insisted upon its adoption, despite a score of requests that he withdraw it because its passage would endanger the passage of the bill. He refused to yield, but the house relieved him of the pleasure of realizing upon his desire by a vote of 77 to 30. The house refused to concur in the amendments the senate made to the Emircy demurrage bill, and on the part of the house a conference committee, composed of Representatives Oliver, Conran and Deal, was appointed. A decisive defeat was given the state excise bill in the senate Thursday morning. It was not entirely unexpected, for events all through the special session of the present legislature have indicated what would be the ultimate fate of the measure. This means that there will be no state excise commissioner. SUCCESSFUL TONIC TREATMENT FOR INDIGESTION. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Cured The Woman and Have Cured Many Hundreds of Other Cases of Common Ailments Loss of appetite, coated tongue, bad taste in the mouth, heavy dull headache and a dull, sluggish feeling—these are the symptoms of stomach trouble. They indicate that the stomach is on a strangle that it is no longer furnishing to the blood the full quota of nourishment that the body demands, hence every organ suffers. There are two methods of treatment: the old one by which the stomach is humored by the use of predigested foods and artificial ferments, and the new one by which the stomach is tomed up to do the work which nature intended of it. A recent cure by the tonic treatment is that of Mrs. Mary Stackpole, of St. Liberty street, Lowell, Mass. She says, "I suffered constantly for years from stomach trouble and terrible backache and was confined to my bed the greater part of three years. I was under the care of our family physician most of the time, but did not seem to get better. "I was completely run-down and was not able to do my work about the house. My blood was impure and my completion pale. I suffered from flashes of heat, followed suddenly by chills. I had awful headaches, which lasted from three to four days. I could get but little rest at night, as my sleep was broken and fittal. As a result I lost several pounds in weight and became very weak. "I was in a wretched condition when I heard about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I started to take the pills at once and began to gain in weight and health. I was encouraged by this to keep on until I was cured. My friends and neighbors often remark a changed woman I am and I owe it all to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." These wonderful pills are useful in wide range of diseases such as amnion rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nerve headaches, and even locomotor strain and partial paralysis. The great value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills lies in the fact that they actually make new blood and this carries health and strength to every portion of the body. The stomach is toned up, the nerves are strengthened, every organ is stimulated to do its work. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all drugstores, or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medical Company, Scheecthey, N. Y. SHOWED PRESENCE OF MIND Nervy Act of Well Drillers Avent Fearful Disaster. Two oil well drillers, Earl Sheets and Frank Winks, near Carl Junction, underwent an experience last week that would make a "feature" for a life and death melodrama, says the Kansas City Star. The two men were perintending the shooting of a war. Three hundred quarts of nitroglycerin had been brought to the well to used in the shot. A "shell" containing 30 quarters been lowered, but it stuck in the well. The operators thought they can shove the can on down in the well, letting the baier down in the well top of it. The plan appeared to have worked all right, and the baier was drawn up out of the well, and part way up toward the top of the derrick before the horrified spectators noticed that the can of deadly explosive had caught in the baier and was the dangling in the air ready to fall. Just as Sheets and Winks looked up, the shell came loose and started to ward the ground. Realizing that if it ever hit the ground these 30 quarts of nitro would explode and kill everyone in the vicinity, the two men with presence of mind, ran under it and caught it in their hands. If they had failed in this, not one of the spectators would have "lived to tell the story." Work faithfully, and you will put yourself in possession of a glorious and enlarging happiness.—Ruskin.

Here they find a hearty welcome, and people who take a personal inter- est in their welfare. ‘There is a free reading-room and a pleasant dining- room, where attractive lunches are served at the smallest possible cost. ‘The latter is greatly appreciated by those who have met with reverses, yet wish to pay something at least for what they receive. Many men have difficulty when out of work to live in a respectable way, and this the mission helps them to do. ‘There are also some sleeping rooms, the number of which will be increased as soon as the much needed funds can be secured. It is supported by volun- tary subscriptions, Every little while some one whom the mission has helped to make a new start in life, returns to visit the mission and leave something towards helping others in distress. ‘The work was started several years ago in very cramped quarters. Some time ago better rooms were secured in a suitable part of the city near the landing places. Much of its suc- cess, says the Christian Herald, is due to the present manager, Mrs. Field, who has stood by it through many discouragements since she took charge three years ago. Her great tact and ready sympathy have won many friends for the Vancouver mis- sion and the couse it represents. ‘On the Wrong Side. Dr. Ambrose Shepherd, of Glasgow, preaching in London recently, called attention to the remarkable and sad: dening discrepancy between the in- tense activity of the churches to-day and the lack of spiritual results. How fs it that the churches have to say again and again: “We have tolled all night and have taken nothing?” Dr. Shepherd arswered his own question in these words: “The reason why so much of the prayer, toil, and sacrifice of the Christian church counts for lit- tle or nothing is because so many of us are living on the wrong side of Pentecost. Many of us know Christ; many of us are following Christ; but how many of us have claimed our own Pentecost, or have sought at Christ’s hands that equipment for service with- out which all other equipment counts for nothing?” ‘Preacher Dessended trom activa. ‘W.

WHAT MADE HIM BOUBTFUL. Size of Commuter’s Hat Caused Ac- quzintance to Worry. A commuters on the D., L. & W. re- marked to a friend the other morning, as they came into the city: “Hawkins, of Stamford, is going to move into that new house next door to me. I know him very slightly, and I understand that you know him pret- ty well.” “Yes, I have known him for upward of 20 years.” “Well, what kind of a fellow is he, anyhow?" asked the commuter. “A firstrate fellow, and in every way desirable. Why?” “I just wanted to know, because 1 could never quite make up my mind about him, he wears such a small hat.”—Philadelphia Ledzer. ZEAL THAT WAS MISDIRECTED. Housexeeper Meant to Please Em- ployer, but Alas! “Such an article,” said H. P. Jud- son, the new head of the University of Chicago, in declining a rather un- usul interview, “would be not only futile but even in a mild way harmful. It would be like the work of the care- ful housekeeper. There was an old general who had brought home from the war a splendid fiag—a flag all torn with bullets, faded with fierce suns and stained with the dust and blood of battle. This superb trophy hung over the mantel in his Hbrary. Well, one unlucky day he engaged a new housekeeper and the next week missed his fiag. He rang at once. ‘Where is that flag of mine?’ he said, pointing anxiously to the empty space on the wall. “‘T have been working on it, sir,’ the housekeeper answered. ‘T've washed it thoroughly and sewed up all the rents and darned all the holes and when I bring it back to you, sir, I'm sure you'll say it looks as good as new.’” BABY’S ECZEMA GREW WORSE. Hospitals and Doctors Could Not Re- lieve Him—But Cuticura Remedies a Speedy, Permanent Cure. “Eczema appeared when our baby was three months éld. We applied to several doctors and hospitals, each of which gave us something different every time, but nothing brought relief. At last, one of our friends recommend- ed to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. A few days afterwards im- provement could be noted. Since then we have used nothing but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the baby is six months old and is quite cured. All that we used was one cake of Cuticura Soap and two boxes Cutl- cura Ointment, costing in all $1.25. C. F. Kara, 343 East 65th Street, New York, March 39, 1906.” Pee ee ap hay ee One of our third grade teachers no ticed a little fellow the other day dur- ing a penmanship lesson who was evi- dently absorbed in his work and put- ting his whole soul into his efforts to make his results look like the teach- er’s copy upon the blackboard. ‘Thinking such devotion worthy of special reward she passed up the aisle to give him an encouraging pat upon the head and the regulation smile of approval. As she drew near she no- tiedd that his lips were moving, and that with the completion of each letter he compared it with his copy and mut- tered audibly, “damit,” “damit; then screwed up his courage and his lips for a new attempt. The teacher passed on without distracting his mind from his work.—Journal of Education. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great im- portance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiff- ener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. re A In a certain preparatory school in Washington an instructor one day made the statement that “every year a sheet of water 14 feet thick is raised ¢o the clouds from the sea.” “at wint thme of the year does that occur, professor?" asked » freshman, “It must be a sight worth going long way to see.”—Harper’s. { a ae Ok gf ene = sd Perfect fr Cie |) ee ff en Womanhood |) Gag am Cre ae ‘The greatest menace to woman's | | SS RPS RD permanent happiness in life is the | 2 Bee suffering that comes from some de- El, ae ntet eee sree \ Many thousands of women have | #5 realized this too late to save their P 7 health, barely in time to save their E lives. , To be a successful wife, to retain E the love and admiration of her hus- ‘ band, should be a woman's constant study.

An Indian's View of an Organ. After a while curiosity led me back to the sod house, and I saw for tho first time how the white woman pumps so much air into a box that when she presses on the top board it howls con- vulsively. I forgot my bashfulness so far as to listen openly and enjoy the operation, wondering much how the white man puts a pair of lungs into a box, which is furnished with a whole set of black and white teeth, and when he sings to it it appears to an- swer him, This is how the white peo- ple teach thelr children to do things, I thought—From the Outlook—Dr, Charles A. Eastman's “Schooldays of ‘an Indian.” Laundry work at home would b@ much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used, In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually neces- sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric 1s hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys thé appearance, but also affects the wear- ing quality of the goods. This troublé can be entirely overcome by using De- fiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great- @r strength than other makes, Dont expect a man to have faith in your judgment if you call him a fool. “NO. | HARD” WHEAT Paar er eis stnee Pounds to Re an sicd in ike Cauodiaw FERN, |e ete one LiesN AD eg scissile Ae Se? iss omple CBG 8 vc, coms ‘New Wheat Growing Territory J.

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 one per cent of the appointive 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 we say WHAT'S THE USE.
