Patrick, the pastor that makes love to married woman, it appears, was a great misfit; but Wilkerson, the kisser, beat him. The preacher wrote and begged for return of love, but Wilkerson got the real kiss from a waitress, then she had him arrested. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1907. CALL FOR A SOLEMN CONCLAVE. To the Citizens of the State of Missouri: On February 13, 1907, fifty delegates representing ten counties and the largest cities in the state, assembled in the state house in Jefferson City to enter protest against the separate car law which had already passed the state state, and to appeal to the reason, liberality and good judgment of the railroad committee and other members of the house of representatives who were present, to keep the proposed bill from becoming a law. We are thankful to say that the better judgment of that body prevailed and we have been spared the humiliation to which our people are subjected in many of the other states. The success which attended our efforts upon this occasion indicates clearly that, with organization throughout the state and discreet management, we can do much toward creating a healthy public opinion in regard to all matters bearing upon the interests of our race. The Negro is under criticism; he needs defense; his civil and political rights are in jeopardy; he needs protection. For these reasons the delegation adopted a resolution while assembled in the A. M. E. church, Jefferson City, Mo., February 13, 1907, instructing the president and secretary of that gathering to invite a solemn convocation of the people of Missouri through their representatives, for the purpose of considering the advisability of a permanent organization. The meeting is hereby called to convene in St. Louis, Mo., opening in Central Baptist church, July 10, at 9 a. m. and closing in St. Paul A. M. E. church, July 11. All religious denominations, educational institutions, charitable associations, secret societies and any other organizations in the state not included in this number are requested to send at least one delegate from each city, community and precinct to be present at said convention at the time herein designated.

K. of P. of Keota, Mo., Celebrate Twenty-Sixth Anniversary. Rising Sun Lodge, K. of P., of Keota, Mo., celebrated its twentyth sixth anniversary last Sunday. After a grand street parade they assembled in the Baptist church. Rev. W. H. Davis, a theological student of Western College, Macon, Mo. was introduced. He took for his text John. 14th chapter, 13th verse: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend." The sermon was an excellent lent one, and delivered wif power. Every heart was made to rejoice. Scottish Bite Free Masonry. Grand Commander Milton L. Fields established a consistory of Sublime Princes of the Royal Secreta, 32d degree Masons, and a Temple of Nobles of the Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine at Batanzas, Batanzas, Province, Philippine Islands. Follow the flag—the Fields flag. The laundry mark "R. F." is the only clue to the identity of a man who committed suicide in St. Louis. A. U. K. AND D. OF A. Mrs. S. A. Collins, supreme grand queen of the western states of the A. U. K. and D. of A., gave a dinner to Western Grand Master Fields on his return from Jefferson City, where he attended the legislature, and the reporter has never seen anything to equal the same. The table was the grandest ever seen and really fit for a king. The grand master should feel highly honored. All of the most excellent queens of the different councils were present to honor his highness, who is worthy of the honor conferred upon him by the many officers. Mrs. Josephine Jones, of Rising Sun council of East St. Louis, and Mrs. Josephine Brown, of Queen Sheba council of Belleville, Ill., were also present. The grand master's speech was the best ever heard on the order and its work and the work they are about to do in the near future. Mrs. S. A. Collins' speech on "Unity, Love and Strength" was very fitting for the occasion. Addresses were made by everyone present and all were good. Western Grand Master John W. Wheeler was present with all the praise in the world for the young grand master's work. Sister Ada Harris opened the remarks in a splendid talk for her juvenile that a Fred C. Williams and herself are organizing. Those present were: Mrs. Mary Buckner, St. Joseph council; Mrs. Martha Pride, Good Samaritan council; Mrs. Lulu Lee Chatman, Sunlight council; Mrs. Vera Finney, Mrs. R. C. Carter, Mrs. Ida Wright, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Remus of the D. L. Martin Juveniles, Mrs. Emma Boyd, Mrs. George McKoin, Miss Alma Haycraft, Mrs. M. S. Miller and Rev. Miller, her husband; Mr. Sam Boyd, Mr. Abraham Gibbs and wife, Mrs. Elisle Hunter and Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Williams. THE OLD ORIGINAL AND FAMOUS HARRY DENNY. The old "T. C. " leader will give his fourth grand picnic of the season on Monday evening, June 3, at Bloemecke's Grove, under the auspices of the Colored City Employes' Social Club. The excellent manner in which General Manager Samuel Woods has so successfully advertised this picnic is viewed with much satisfaction on the part of President Harry Denny and his associates in this undertaking, and it is estimated that there will be some 7,000 or 8,000 people in attendance. It is well known among the patrons of dances and picnics that the name of Harry Denny in connection with a dance or picnic is in itself an assurance of a good, jolly time. Miss Florence Gardner, of 4262 Kennerly avenue, and Mr. Jesse Head were married April 15 by Rev. R. H. Cole. At present they are living with the bride's mother, 4044 Fairfax avenue. She is quite a musician. Miss Bertha Pipes, of 4044 Fairfax avenue, was bridesmaid and Mr. Richard W. Eaden, of 3940 Fairfax avenue, acted as best man. It was reported that Dr. Anderson, the dentist, refused to serve on a jury because it would be composed of all Negroes. But, this, however, is not true. No one would believe that Dr. Anderson would make such an assertion. COLORED PEDAGOGICAL SOCIETY. The state board of education has appointed an institute for colored teachers at Bowling Green, Mo., to begin June 10, 1907, for two weeks. The district includes St. Charles, Warren Lincoln, Pike and Ralls counties, also adjacent territory. All colored teachers are expected to attend. First class instructions guaranteed.

WHEELER, Editor and Mgr. ST. LOUIS, - - - MISSOURI Germany is for peace and also it is going to keep its powder dry. An old brain in a young head is better than a young brain in an old head. It is true that money does not bring happiness. The czar gets $23,000,000 year. Music may do some good. While a boy is whistling he can't be smoking cigarettes. How can old fogy practitioners say that the young doctor is wholly incompetent after they have seen his lovely whiskers? Winston Churchill receives a royalty of 30 cents per volume, and already his receipts from one book are said to have been $150,000. Germany is not going to favor disarmament. It is afraid the second-hand man wouldn't give it much of anything for its guns. Why doesn't some multimillionaire give Commander Peary that mere trifle of $60,000 and get him started for the north pole without delay? Very likely it is true that many young doctors do not know much, but nature works as hard to assist them as it does to assist the old practitioners. By mistake, a man who meant to varnish his front door used maple syrup. Fortunately, though, it does not appear that he used varnish on his backwheat cakes. Tom Lawson is said to have made $2,500,000 the other day by not buying a copper mine. We refrain from buying copper mines every day in the year without gaining anything by it. Hudson Maxim announces that he has completed an invention which will render armor plate useless. This ought to help some more toward the establishment of universal peace. Kipling may not have been trying to make the poet laureate look like a plugged 30-cent piece, but that was a sort of by-product of Rudyard's latest effort. A Boston woman wrote 225 words a minute for 15 minutes on her typewriter. No doubt that if it had been necessary she could have talked them at the same speed for as long a time. A New Orleans man doesn't want the negroes to benefit by the Rhodes scholarships. The simplest way to prevent that would be for the white boys to beat the negro boys in the examinations. A correspondent writes to a London paper "to protest emphatically against the careless and selfish persons who walk about in a crowded thoroughfare with their umbrellas carried in a dangerous way." What's the use? Queen Alexandra is but one of the many royal ladies who bear the name of "Alex." Her two nieces, Princess Alexandra of Hesse, who is now the widow of the Grand Duke Sergius of Russia, and the present carina of Russia are both known as "Alex." Fifty or more mirrors have been removed from the government printing office so the women employees won't be everlastingly primping. This diabolical move, however, will fail to arrest the involuntary straying of the illy-white fish to feel of the marcel wave or the pomp. Ransford D. Buckman of Worcester, Mass., recently appointed naval adviser to the sultan of Turkey, is now in command of the fleet which guards the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, with the rank of admiral. His first experience as a sailor was gained on the great lakes, where he was a cabin boy. Now, at 40, he is an admiral. The 600 elderly old ladies of a Swiss community who have organized a crusade against excessive dancing and have forwarded a petition to the cantonal officials pointing out that numberless balls, dances and other demoralizing entertainments were given last year, and the young people devoted too much time to pleasure, might lose their labor if somebody should dub them publicly the Sour Grapes association. Vermont has 14 living ex-governors, ranging in age from 84 years down to half a century. The list is, of course headed by Frederick Holbrook of Brattleboro, the war governor, and then comes ex-Congressman John W. Stewart, Senator Redfield Proctor, John L. Barstow, Samuel E. Pingree, Ebenezer J. Ormsby, Senator William P. Dillingham, Carroll S. Page, U. A. Woodbury, Josiah Grout, Edward C. Smith, William W. Stickney, John G. McCullough and Charles J. Bell. A leading favorite in the literary circles of Washington is the widow of Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, the celebrated Brooklyn preacher. Since the death of her husband Mrs. Talmage has spent much of her time in the capital. She writes for magazines and newspapers, generally verses, but always under a nom de plume. The English ribbon trade is said to be now in a more flourishing condition than it has been in many years owing to the huge demands the dressmakers and milliners are making upon the output of the manufacturers. THE EDDY CASE IS COMMENCED FIRST LEGAL BATTLE IN CONNECTION WITH CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LEADER IS ON. MUST PROVE INCOMPETENCY Counsel for the Defense Occupies the Floor Throughout the Proceed-ings of the Day—Asserts Trust Deed Valid. Concord, N. H.—Following several skirmishes, the first legal battle fought about the person or Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, leader of the Christian Selence denomination, in connection with the suit in equity seeking an accounting of her property, was opened in the Merrimack county superior court here Thursday. The original suit, brought by Mrs. Eddy's son, George W. Glover, of Lead, S. D., his daughter, Mary Baker Glover, and George W. Baker, of Bangor, Me., a nephew of Mrs. Eddy, was brought in the name of the Christian Science leader by her three relatives, acting as "next friends," and was directed against Calvin A. Frye, Mrs. Eddy's secretary, and several other leaders of the Christian Science church. It asked for an accounting of Mrs. Eddy's property, which the "next friends" alleged was being misapplied by the defendants. Three trustees, Henry M. Baker, Arnold McLellan and Josiah E. Fernald, were appointed by Mrs. Eddy and empowered by a trust deed executed by her to manage her property. The trustees then petitioned the court to be substituted for the "next friends" plaintiffs in the suit in equity to secure an accounting of Mrs. Eddy's property. Following this the original plaintiffs petitioned the court to include the trustees as defendants in the original suit. The hearing was upon the motion of the trustees and that they be substituted for the "next friends" plaintiffs in the suit against Frye and other defendants. ADDRESSES KANSAS CITYANS. Judge Gaynor Talks on Freight Rate Abuses. Kansas City, Mo.—Judge W. J. Gaynor, of the appellate division of the supreme court of New York, addressed the Knife and Fork club here at its monthly dinner. Judge Gaynor spoke on freight rat abuses and said that, while the actual payment of rebates is now seldom done, favoritism is still practiced in many ways. He spoke of the railroads as public highways and said that the fact that they should be used to enable a few men to destroy their business rivals is the basest crime of our day. He did not favor government ownership, but said that because of its favoritism, it was no wonder a growing number of people wanted the government to take over the railroads. Oklahoma and Indian Territory Indorse Governor's Action. Oklahoma City, Okla.—Five hundred republicans of Oklahoma and Indian territory, at a meeting here of the state central committee, passed resolutions supporting Gov. Frantz in refusing to call an election to vote on the adoption or rejection of the constitution drawn for the proposed new state of Oklahoma; postponing the state convention previously set for June 6 until after the issuance of the election proclamation and condemning what the resolutions term unfair provisions in the proposed constitution. There now seems no doubt that the republicans of the two territories will unite in opposing the ratification of the constitution unless modified. Chinese Famine Broken. Washington—The Red Cross has formally announced that it will no longer receive contributions of money or provisions for the relief of the Chinese famine sufferers, the famine having been broken by the ripening of the new crops. Agricultural College Wins Meet. Mitchell, S. D.—The state agricultural college won the interscholastic track meet here with 57 points. The state university was second with 44 points, while Wesleyan of Mitchell came in third with 34. One Stop in Each State. Washington—The president, it is said at the White House, will not make more than one stop in any one state on his way down the Mississippi river after he leaves Canton on the 30th of September. Music at Education Winona, Minn.—Secretary Shepard announced that the Los Angeles committee having charge of the preparations for the convention of the National Educational association July 8-12 proposes to make the musical features especially prominent.

Neabit Memorial Day I hear no shouts as the soldiers come To the mellow throb of the distant drum. They come—A fragment of what they were; The ranks are scattering year by year, For one by one with his olden air Has answered the summons of Death with "Here!" I see them waver and falter on. Their blue grown shadowy gray with dust— Grown shadowy gray, as in years agone Their sabers fell into shadowy rust. O, this the vision that comes to me; I watch them trudging adown the street. The ready soldiers that used to be, With vibrant drumming to time their feet; I see them swinging along the way With brave Old Glory above them all; And all the lines are complete to-day— Made so by the mystical trumpet call. And quick and eager, erect and bold, They march triumphantly through my dream— The soldier men of the day of old With flags ablow and with swords agleam. The cannons rumble their warring note, The muskets blaze on the battle's marge, And out of the bugle's brazen throat There shrills the terrible cry of "Charge!" But hold. The mist that was in my eyes Now drifts away as a cloud is blown. And the shadows fade, as across the skies The silent arm of the wind is thrown. And gray, and grizzled, and halt, and lame, They falter on to the rounded graves That glow to-day in the grace of fame Beneath the flag that honor waves. They go—A shadow of what they were; The ranks are vanishing year by year, For one by one with his gallant air Has answered the summons of Death with "Here!" And so they waver and falter on, Their blue made shadowy gray with dust— The fading host that in years agone Bore forth the grail of the nation's trust. And into the shadows march they all To the sign of a far-off trumpet call. Funeral March for Heroic Dead Has Meaning Beyond Mere Honor to, the Fallen. EVERY year, in the full tide of spring, at the height of the symphony of flowers and love and life, there comes a solemn pause, and through the silence the nation hears the lonely pipe of death. Year after year lovers wandering under the apple boughs and through the clover are surprised with sudden tears as they see black-veiled figures stealing through the morning to a soldier's grave. Year by year the comrades of the dead follow, with public honor, procession and commemorative flags and funeral march—tribute from us who have inherited a nation's glory to the heroes who gave it. As surely as this day comes round we are in the presence of the dead. But not all the associations of this day are sad; some of them are triumphant, even joyful. We seem to hear the funeral march become a pean. Our heroic dead still live for us, and bid us think of life, not death—of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and glory of the spring. Memorial day may and ought to IN LABOR OF LOVE Memorial day may and ought to upon the field of honor. Multitudes Gather to Aid Veterans Decorate Graves in Beautiful Arlington Cemetery. THE Coliseum in the national cemetery at Arlington, in which people gather annually for the exercises, is indescribably beautiful. The space is sorrounded by columns, a light lattice work forming the roof. Beside the columns have been planted wistaria, roses, clematis and other early flowering vines, which form a perfect bower overhead, while the majestic trees make ample shade for the multitude who come to join in the labor of love. The thousands of ex-union officers and soldiers who have died during the 38 years since the first Decoration DIED IN PRISON PENS Record of Those Who Passed Away in Military Confine-ments Is an Appalling One. The largest confederate prison was at Andersonville, Ga., where 45,613 union soldiers were imprisoned. The prison had its maximum number on August 8, 1864, when the rolls showed the presence of 33,114. Death claimed 12,912, or 28 per cent. of the entire number. Every day the death toll averaged 30. The greatest number of deaths occurred on August 23. 贝尔或贝尔 have a meaning beyond mere honor to the dead. It celebrates and solemnly re-affirms from year to year a national act of enthusiasm and faith. It embodies in the most impressive form our belief that to act with enthusiasm and faith is the condition of acting greatly. To fight out a war men must believe something and want something with all their might. So must they do to carry out anything else to an end worth reaching. Peace calls for its patriotic devotion, no less than war. And, stripped of the direct associations which gave rise to it, this is a day when by common consent we pause to become conscious of our national honor and to rejoice in it, to recall what our country has done and is doing for us, and to ask ourselves what we can do for our country in return. The great French soldier, de Latour dAuvergne, was the hero of many battles, but remained by his own choice in the ranks. Napoleon gave him a sword and the official title "The First Grenadier of France." When he was killed the emperor ordered that his heart should be entrusted to his regiment—that his name should be called at every roll call and that his next comrade should answer, "Dead upon the field of honor!" In the keeping of this nation are the hearts of many heroes; we treasure them in consecrated ground, and when their names are called we answer in flowers, "Dead upon the field of honor." day, and the hundreds that have fallen since the Spanish-American war, and whose bodies have been borne across the sea to be buried in Arlington, have made this the largest city of patriotic dead on the globe. This 30th of May, like all others, will see every low green mound of the extensive field covered with flowers and immortelles. There will be a repetition of the annual ceremonies, with probably additional interesting features. Alas! the column of ex-union soldiers does not present a long line, and the few who participate are for the most part bowed with age and increased disability which time has wrought. The patriotic organizations, sons and daughters of veterans, and the loyal people have taken up the work which older hands have had to lay down. The spirit of gratitude and devotion to the memory of the country's defenders inspires the whole nation to-day as it did in 1868. 1864, when 127 yielded up their lives. The largest military prison in the north was at Elmira where 11,916 prisoners were confined in an open pen or stockade. The death list reached 2,994, about 25 per cent. In March, 1865, the greatest mortality occurred—495 or 16.5 per cent. of all the deaths. All except six of the dead were buried in a field which was afterward plowed up and planted with wheat, and now neither summer nor winter shows a sign of where 3,000 hapless confederates were laid away. The members of the Woman's Relief Corps make a great feature of Memorial day. The pity of it all is that there are so many new graves to decorate each year. Queen Esther Temple OF THE S. M. T.

CERTIFIED Wake up ministers of the gospel if there was ever a time when duty demands it is today wage war against all that is not good for the race, advise parents to put more in their children hearts and brain less or their backs and in their stomachs, encourage them not to deposit all their wages in the dry goods shops, since a clean and upright body is a necessity for the abode of lofty mine, so it is the absolute and indispensable duty of the minister to teach and preach good character to his hearers as well as redemption and salvation. New York, May 15.—The missionary board of the African Methodist Episcopal church met here this morning and was presided over by Bishop C. T. Shaffer, D. D., of Chicago, Ill. Bishop C. S. Smith and L. J. Coppin were present and delivered addresses. The following members were present: Revs. J. D. Jimmerson, Virginia; W. S. Lowrey, Pennsylvania; M. J. McCracken, Illinois; G. H. Shaffer, Indiana; W. A. Lewis, Tennessee; J. A. Lindsay, Georgia, G. B. Billups, Louisiana; R. B. Brooks, Alabama; J. W. Haskin, Texas; James Dean, Florida; Sandy Simmons, South Carolina. Rev. H. Blanton Parks, D. D., the efficient secretary, made his annual report, which soowed that the receipts for the department during the past year had been $22,781.4 and the expenditures $20,254.32, leaving a balance on hand of $12,473.62. The auditing committee reported, showing that the report was correct and the books wede kept in good order. Dr. Parks was highly complimented on the simple bookkeeping. It is said to be the best report ever made to the board. Dr. Parks accounted for every pin that had passed through his office, so to speak. Bishop C. S. Smith reported the condition of the work in West Africa, bringing to the board some valuable information. Bishop Coppin also made an address. Rev. A. L. Murray, chairman of the New Jersey delegation to the geenral conference, was introduced and made a short address, congratulating Dr. Parks on his success. There were many other short, addresses delivered. This is the last meeting of the board in New York before the meeting of the general conference. Dh. H. T. Johnson, editor of the Christian Recorder, was present and made a few remarks. Bishop C. T. Shafer is a business man strictly, and he is doing great work for his church. He delivered a strong address on missions. The time is now at hand that Negro men and women must make a distinction. There are three kins, viz.: Good, bad and indifferent. The good Negro should set the example for the bad ones to imitate. If the good Negro is to mix up with the bad and indifferent ones, then there is no difference. Men and women who are living in a state of open adultery should not be associated with the good Negroes. As long as the good Negro young ladies are permitted to be tainted with men and women that live in open adultery and are considered the company of good people, so long is there a question in regard to the standing in a community of good people. Dr. J. W. McClellan is now located at 100 North Jefferson avenue, over Wright & Bolen's drug store. Phones, Bomont 274; Central S371. Active in This Life Yet C. H. Tandy, 70½ years of age. P. H.

Kent, was one of the six men who composed a jury of six before the coroner of St. Louis in the killing of Adams. The jury heard the evidence in the case and after due deliberation they held the defendant for the grand jury. Mr. Kent can say that he was one of the first Negro jurymen that ever sat and tried a case before any coroner in the state of Missouri. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The Sunday afternoon meetings are very helpful to the men. Last Sunday Mr.-J. P. Moorland addressed the meeting. One young man was converted. This makes two conversions within the last three weeks. While the physical committee is training men in athletics, the religious committee is administering to the spiritual needs. The last Tuesday evening in each month is reserved for the ladies. At this time a high-class literary or musical program is rendered and ladies are invited. This is the only time during the month ladies meet with us, and the men take special pains to make is pleasant for them. After the program ice cream and cake is served in abundance (all free), then an hour in social intercourse. Miss Henrietta Moman, who has so ably conducted several of the programs, will be in charge. Plans are now being considered whereby the association will soon broaden its scope of usefulness. Several of the young men went to the city hospital last Sabbath to conduct services.

Cole baptized four converts in three minutes, and being so enthused over the good work for the Master, he looked around for more. There is a marked improvement in every department of the church at present, hence it is hoped that all the members will get together and pray, work and serve the Lord as they have never done before. If so, I'm sure that the $12,000 debt that hangs over the church would soon disappear and a parsonage would be the next thing in order. To have a healthy church, a Christian church, a decent church, a loving church, the members must be of one mind, one aim, working together for the uplifting of humanity and the upbuilding of Christ's kingdom in the hearts of men. Now let us all try this, and our church will soon be free from debt. Let the preachers, the deacons, the school trustees, the members and everybody else alone and attend to your own business, and serve God as you ought and you will be a gentleman or a lady and, above all, a good Christion, and many dollars that you will give in the collection will go a long ways in helping to pay off the debt on the church. Don't forget this. Send your children out to the Sunday school every Sunday at 9 a. m.; also to the Young People's Union at 5:30 p. m. Remember you owe this to them and to your God. The Sabbath school, through its loving and Christian-hearted superintendent, Prof. M. Hamilton, presented the church with $50 last Sunday. The church is under many obligation to Prof. Hamilton, and hopes he will live long and ever be a shining light in our midst. The B. Y. P. U. will have a grand financial rally on the second Sunday in June, at which time all of the local unions in the city will be present. A nice program has been arranged for the occasion, with some of the best taken in the city. Rev. George W. Gaines, of Bib Zion M. E. church, will preach a special sermon for the occasion. Everybody is invited. We are striving very hard to pay our church out of debt. Hence we appeal to the public to visit us every Sunday and help us just as much as possible. Remember, God blesses the cheerful giver. Providence Baptist Notes. The interest, attendance and contributions was good at our church last Sunday. The pastor and quite a number of the members assisted El Bethel Baptist Church in a rally in the afternoon. Miss Mildred Cooper, of Providence Baptist Church, visited her old home at Allenton, Mo., last Sunday. Miss Cooper is a member of the choir at Providence. We hope to see her at her post next Sunday. The pastors and all churches- without regard to creed, is hereby cordially invited to be present at the first anniversary of Providence Church the first Lord's day in June at 3 p. m. A free dinner will be served for the comfort of all who may attend. Each pastor will be expected to have something to say on that occasion. We are planning to raise $500 on that day and we hope our friends will come prepared to help us in this ef- Monday RAIN OR SHINE June 3rd The Famous Colored City Employes' Social Clu CHAS.

If the Baptist forces in the city could be marshaled in the right way, there is no reason why any church should be in debt. Our pastor has said again and again if each layman would give $5 he would give $100 towards canceling the debts on all Baptist churches in the city. We believe that if all the pastors or the city would unite on some substantial financial plan like this, the laymen would follow. We believe, furthermore, that the Baptists are sufferer for the want of a united leadership more than anything else. There is a very great want of a broad, liberal and self-sacrificing ministry in our day and generation, who will prove to he commensurate to the task before them, in advancing the Kingdom of God.

Twenty Ruthenian peasants belonging to Ispas, in Galicia, have been sentenced to various terms of imprisonment, from a week to a month, for missing each other in church. A feud has arisen between two parties in the town, and the priest preached a sermon in which he urged the peasants to make friends before they came to church again. They took him at his word, and on the following Sunday the two hostile parties marched up the church side by side, and kissed the altar. Then they solemnly shook hands and kissed one another on both cheeks in the Polish fashion to seal the reconciliation. The kissing scene excited loud laughter among the members of the congregation, and the priest prosecuted the peasants for unseemly conduct in church. The court held that a church is no place for kissing and found the peasants guilty. Yale University Wealthy. According to the Yale Alumni Weekly, the property of the university in New Haven which is exempted from taxation, is appraised at $4,431,150, an increase of $255,000 over the appraised tax exemptions of last year, though this increase does not necessarily represent actual additional values subtracted from the New Haven grand list. Of the total exemptions about $1,370,000 belongs to the Sheffield Scientific School. The old campus, as land, is valued at $1,033,400, and the buildings on this campus at $2,483,500. The appraisals are high on many of the buildings, as compared to actual cost. The valuations are placed, and as they are exemptions there has been no occasion to appeal for their reduction. Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery-Defiance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands. Was Not For Old Golde. John Sloan, the noted illustrator and etcher, laid down a newspaper account of the sale of a Bongereau for $75,000. Such sales," he said, "remind me of the conversation of old Gobsa Golde and his daughter Lotta. 'Well, did ye buy that picture?' said Lotta on her father's return from a gallery. 'No,' the old man answered. 'Why not, pop?' "Twan'd dear enough." When You Want Pure White Lead, Get It Probably there is no other article of commerce subjected to so much duplication and misrepresentation as White Lead. Out of 18 brands of "White Lead" recently analyzed by the Government Agricultural Experiment Station of North Dakota, 5 contained absolutely no White Lead, 5 less than 15% of White Lead, and only 3 over 90% of White Lead. There is, however, a way to be certain of the purity and genuineness of the White Lead you buy, and that is to see that the keg you buy bears the Dutch Boy trade mark. This trade mark is a positive guarantee of absolutely Pure White Lead made by the Old Dutch Process. MUNICIPAL LEGIS CIVI SEND FOR BOOK "A Talk on Palut."

CATHOLIC PRIEST AT ITS HEAD Father Tuohy and Owen Miller, Labor Leader, Are in the Scheme. St. Louis—After working for several months, the plans for a "St. Louis Equity Exchange," an organization which will endeavor to control the prices of farm products by working in co-operation with the producing farmer and the consuming working man, have been brought to completion. A Catholic priest, a practical farmer and a well-known labor leader are the prime movers. They are the Rev. John T. Tuohy, George W. Wickline and Owen Miller. Although at present the plan is to cater particularly to the two great classes of labor, it is believed by the promoters that in time the idea will so spread that all farm products will be handled through "exchanges." The work is being carried on under the auspices of the American Society of Equity, which is an organization of farmers. EXPLOSION IN STREET. People Were Thrown to the Ground Fifty Feet Around. New York—A terrific explosion in crowded Mott street seriously injured eight Italian children, three of them probably fatally. For a time a condition verging upon panic prevailed in the neighborhood and it was not until police had been summoned that anything like order was restored. The cause of the explosion has not yet been explained. The residents of the neighborhood believe the act due to the so-called Black Hand society. The police incline to believe that it was due to negligence. A few days ago there was a celebration in the Italian quarter and the police think that one of the aerial bombs used on that occasion found its way into an ash can and was discharged. When the explosion came the ash can disappeared and every person within a radius of 50 feet was thrown to the ground. The children who were most seriously injured were playing near the can. BEGIN WATERS-PIERCE CASE. First Day Taken Up in Reading Depositions of Witnesses. Austin, Tex.—The reading of depositions of witnesses, whose testimony had been admitted by argument, consumed the entire day in the ejection case of the state of Texas vs. the Waters-Pierce Oil Co. At the outset of the day's proceedings the state made vigorous efforts to enforce a new law requiring corporations to show all their books or forfeit their franchise rights. This contention was opposed by the defense's attorney, who explained that the demands of the plaintiff would result in a special freight train to carry the documents. Pleads Guilty of Manslaughter. Bridgeport, Conn.—Catherine Neil, an artist's model and chorus girl of New York city, pleaded guilty to the charge of manslaughter in the killing of her husband, Joseph Neil, a blacksmith and pugilist, in Greenwich Dec. 14, at a special session of the criminal court. Judge Wheeler imposed upon her an indetermined sentence of not more than nine and not less than five years in state prison. Denver Strike Called Off. Denver, Colo.—A conference resulted in calling off the millmen and wood-workers' strike. The strikers are given an increase of 10 per cent in wages with a minimum of 38c per hour.

Eldon—William Lampkin, an attorney of this city, was arrested and taken to Jefferson City by United States Marshal McKenna on a charge of sending improper matter through the mails.

St. Joseph—Miss Alice Muddox died at the family home, 620 North Ninth street, from eating imported strawberries that had been treated by a solution containing poison, intended to hasten the ripening of the fruit. The berries were served at a reception and dinner given by a friend of Miss Muddox. Life Sentence Too Much for Boy. St. Louis.—Because of his youth, steps may be taken to have the 99-year penitentiary sentence imposed on John Stapp, 15 years old, reduced, it is said. Stapp pleaded guilty to murder in second degree in the juvenile court. He stabbed and killed Mrs. Otilla Kraus May 1. Maid to Ex-Confederates. Lexington.—Miss Margaret Aull, of this city, has been appointed maid of honor by Brigadier General James D. Ingram to represent the western division of Missouri cx-Confederates at Richmond, Va. May 50 to June 6. Miss Aull is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Aull. Two Joplin Girls Drown Two Joplin Girls Drown. Joplin.—Mamie Ruff, 16 years old, and Ruby Garner, 6. two of a boating party of five, were drowned in Shoal creek, two miles from this city. The drowning resulted from the capsizing of the boat in the swift current of the stream, which was swollen by recent heavy rains. Grill For Powder Trust. Jefferson City.-Attorney General Bonaparte, making application from Washington, has asked Secretary of State Swanger for information concerning the powder manufacturing companies doing business in this state, as shown by charters on file in the department here.

Childhood and Education of Moses Sunday School Lesson for May 26, 1967 Specially Prepared for This Paper. LESSON TEXT.—Exodus 2:1-15. Memory verses, 9, 10. GOLDEN TEXT.—"Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds."—Acts 7:22. TIME.—Moses was born probably during the reign of Rameses II, which lasted 67 years, Rameses dying at the age of nearly 100. Sayce gives as the limits of his reign B. C. 1348-1281; Driver, 1275-1208; Breasted, 1292-1225. According to the common chronology, Moses was born B. C. 1571, and our lesson, covering the first 40 years of his life, would extend to 1531. PLACE.—Moses was born at the capital of Egypt, which at that time was either Memphis, nearly where modern Cairo is, or Tanis (Zoan), in the eastern part of the Nile delta. Comment and Suggestive Talk. The Working of God's Plans.-See what factors entered into this preservation of the world's greatest man. There was (1) a humble slave family; (2) a little basket of bulrushes; (3) a little girl; (4) a baby's tears; (5) Pharaoh's own daughter; (6) the child's own mother; (7) a royal court. All of these were brought together at just the right time, in just the right way. "This lesson is one of the best illustrations of a perfect combination of the best co-working of human effort and divine providences." The Court Life of Moses.—"The favor of the king's only daughter and presumptive heir made his life in these early years one long, unclouded summer morning, for all that wealth and power could command were at his service."—Gelkie. "He would live chiefly in the apartments of his mother, which would probably be a portion of the royal residence, and would be furnished with every luxury."—Rawlinson. Yet life at Pharaoh's court, "amid all its attractions and advantages, must have had some drawbacks. Egyptian youths and Egyptian courtlers could not be altogether cordial to the Hebrew boy, who, as the grandson of Pharaoh, enjoyed so exalted a position, and received such eminent attention."—Blaikie. The School Life of Moses.—Egypt then had two great universities, at Heliopolis and Hermopolis, and Moses is said to have studied in the former, which was situated about 20 miles north of Memphis. It was "the Oxford of Ancient Egypt," as Alexandria was in later times. Herodotus went thither to gather information for his travels, and Plato studied there for 13 years. "Shady cloisters opened into lecture rooms for the students, and quiet houses for the professors and priests, in their many grades and offices; there being room for all in the corridors of the huge pile."—Gelikle. A splendid library would be at his disposal. The library of the Rameseum at Thebes—a structure built by Rameses II—contained 20,000 books. The studies of the young man would include the two forms of difficult Egyptian writing, arithmetic, geometry, trigonometry to some extent, astronomy, music, both vocal and instrumental, painting and architecture, medicine and chemistry, history and law, poetry and other branches of literature, and especially theology, extending to its highest form, "the philosophy of symbolism," in which the Egyptian religion, gross as it was, came nearest to the Hebrew. As a member of the royal family, Moses was no doubt received into the priestly caste, and knew all their secret lore. The Military Life of Moses.—Stephen tells us (Acts 7:22) that Moses was "mighty in words and in deeds." The words "may have meant such power of composition as appears in the hymn by the Red sea, and in the magnificent valediction to his people." —Expositor's Bible. As to the deeds, after completing his university course, Moses might have become a hanger-on at the court, or obtained some civil appointment and sought to climb the official ladder, or entered the literary life, or devoted himself to the priesthood, or become a soldier. The tradition that he chose the last-named calling is in accordance with the probabilities, and explains his great military ability displayed in the exodus and afterwards. The Patriot's First Attempt.—It was natural that Moses' first attempt at alding his people should be a blunder. Even the greatest men make mistakes, and prove their greatness by their ability to learn from their mistakes. The Patriot's Second Attempt.—"To smite the oppressor was not enough. Moses must unite and discipline the oppressed. And this was his next effort."—Hanna. "The treatment he received from the Hebrews he sought to aid showed that they were by no means ripe for freedom or nationality."—Townsend. Lessons in Patience.—Ex. 2:16-25. Moses remained in Midian for the second of the three 40-year periods into which his life is divided. Practical Points. "Every man's life is a plan of God." The life of each scholar in your class has been planned by God as carefully and lovingly as that of Moses. The best start in life is that af forced by a godly home. Not the rich est family in Egypt gave their son a better outfit for life than Mosca received from his slave parents. Every child is a possible prince. The chain of providence is always rexiy, when hands are ready to seize it. Desert experiences come to all times of waiting, of apparent failure.

That the effect of a choice and appropriate phrase is sometimes lost and oftimes woefully misinterpreted is well illustrated in an incident connected with the death of a Virginia lawyer. During the man's illness the wires were disconnected which attached the bell to the old-fashioned pull knob on the front door. A messenger boy came to the house one morning and began pulling at the bell. There was no response. He continued to jerk the ancient knob vigorously. A white-haired gentleman finally appeared, who raised his hand warningly and said: "My boy, the silver cord has been severed." "Is that so?" exploded the boy. "From 'the way it acted I thought the whole darn thing was busted"—N. Y. Times ITCHING RASH 18 YEARS. Girl's Rash Spread and Grew Worse Under Specialist's Care—Perfect Cure by Cuticura Remedies. "When my daughter was a baby she had a breaking out behind the ears. The doctor said that she would outgrow it, and it did get somewhat better until she was about fifteen years old, and after that she could get nothing that would drive it away. She was always applying something in the way of salves. It troubled her behind the knees, opposite the elbows, back of the neck and ears, under the chin, and then it got on the face. That was about three years ago. She took treatment with a specialist and seemed to get worse all the time. We were then advised to try the Cuticura Remedies, and now I don't see any breaking out. M. Curley, 11-19 Sxteenth St., Bay City, Mich., May 20, 1906." He Was Thicker Skimmed. Walter Howard, the London dramatist, was leaving the stage door of a theater one evening when an anemic-looking youth stepped up and said: "Are you Mr. Howard?" The author replied in the affirmative, whereupon the young fellow said he wanted to go on the stage. Noticing his evident unfitness for such a life, Howard advised him to stick to his present occupation, whatever it was. "I am assistant pawnbroker across the way," said the ambitious young man. "And what do your people think of your going on the stage?" asked Howard. "Oh, they are right against it," was the jaunty reply, "but I shouldn't mind the disgrace myself." Shoemaker's Last. The following is taken from a handbill issued by a provincial bootmaker: "The shoemaker is a man of great learning. He is a doctor as well as a surgeon, for he not only heels but performs many cutting operations. He is a fish:monger, for he sells soles and heels. He is a schoolmaster, for he gives good understanding. He is a good speaker, for he always works the thread of his argument, waxes warm to his subject, and holds all to the last." Tired Nervous Make Un MRS.NELLIE MAKHAM A nervous irritable woman, often on the verge of hysteresis, is a source of misery to everyone who comes under her influence, and unhappy and miserable herself. Such women not only drive husbands from home but are wholly unfit to govern children. The ills of women act like a fire brand upon the nerves, consequently seven-tenths of the nervous prostration, nervous despondency, the "blues", sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some organic causes. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness alternating with extreme irritability? Do you suffer from pains in the abdominal region, backache, bearing-down pains, nervous dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost continually cross and snappy? If so, your nerves are in a shattered condition and you are threatened with nervous prostration. Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous troubles of women than Lydia E.

"One day," he recently informed the Boot and Shoe club, "my father, a pioneer in the business, hit the peg and it flew up. What happened? Probably you won't believe me, but it's a fact all the same.

How a Rough Fisherman Was Led to Become a Fisher of Men. The lives of many city missionaries read like romance. Such a life ```markdown ``` has been that of Rev. W. H. Collinson, evangelist of the United Christian Workers City Mission church, Bronx, N. Y. Left as a waif at a London door, some one took him. in. Soon homeless a gain, as a mere boy he was taken or so Evangelist W. H. Collinson. shing smack to the North sea fishing grounds, and he helped bring the harvests of the ocean to the famous Billingsgate market in London. Here he heard D. L. Moody and was converted. He had the aid and sympathy of Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, and soon was preaching the Word to fishermen in the market and those engaged in deep-sea fishing in the North sea. He there witnessed the spiritual transformation of many lives. He had greater influence with the men because he had learned "to scrub the cabin, make puddings, mend nets, splice the ropes, steer the ship and command a vessel." His first pulpit was a three-legged table in a barn, where he spoke to 40 farmers on "Being Saved by Grace." His best loved work was among the fisherman, and he was the first recipient of a silk "Bethel Flag" from the late Baroness Dudett Coutts. Like many seafaring men, the captain likes change of scene, but is ever ready to engage in hard service on sea or land for the lost. He followed for awhile John Sampson, the "Cornwall preacher," and was a coworker with Gipsy Smith. At Steelton, Pa., he started a mission among 3,000 steel workers and held "shop" meetings. He recently held Gospel services at the Union church, Corona, N. Y. His earnest addresses abounded in nautical terms and pictures, adding zest to his exhortations, says the Christian Herald. At the City Mission church in the Bronx the Gospel is preached, the sick are visited and situations are secured for the unemployed. Mrs. Collinson, his "first mate," helps in his Gospel services and his daughter Eva, the "second mate" of the Gospel is also the musician. Together they hold meetings on board ship, in saloons, barber shops and factories. Their work has been supported by voluntary gifts and has been a means of blessing to many. Successful Missionary Labor Successful Missionary Labor. For several years the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions has been doing a missionary work in Nauru, an island separate from all other groups 'in the Pacific ocean. Its people seem to be hardy and vigorous, numbering somewhat less than 2,000 souls at the present time. A German missionary, Rev. De la Porte, has labored there since 1899 under the American board with extraordinary vigor and success. He has gathered converts in numbers that parallel, it is said, the earliest beginnings at Jerusalem. From the beginning Mr. De la Porte labored at translation work. In 1902 he translated part of the New Testament; this was printed on the missionary press at Kusale in the Caroline islands, 500 copies in all. These were distributed among the people in 1903, and Mr. De la Porte writes: "The living Word of God has since then worked mightily in the hearts of this little nation." Inauguration of Professor Geer. Inauguration of Professor Geer. Rev. Curtis Manning Geer, Ph.

A Queen's Influence A Queen's Influence. The queen of Holland has initiated a daily religious service at the palace in The Hague, which is open to every member of her household, from the grand chamberlain to the butler. The queen takes her seat at a small table in the dining-room and begins by reading a psalm, which is afterward sung by all present. She then reads a chapter from the Scriptures, and the ceremony closes with the singing of a hymn. High Praise. "The Spectator" (London), describes the Late Principal Rainy of the Free church of Scotland, who died recently at the age of 81, as "the conscious man in modern Scotland" and "the greatest Scottish ecclesiastical statesman since Chalmers."

My complexion got yellow and I lost over 50 pounds. My thirst was terrible, and there was sugar in the kidney secretions.

Inconsiderate Husband the Cause of All the Trouble. Alexis Alladin, the leader of the Russian douma's labor party, was marveling in New York at the strength of the labor unions of America. "Now that I grasp the size and power of these unions," he said, smiling, "I see the point of a story that I failed to understand coming over on the boat. An American woman told me this story. She said that a young bride was found one afternoon crying bitterly in the smoking room of her club. 'Why, my dear,' said an elderly matron, 'what is the matter with you?' 'Oh,' sobbed the bride, 'I am going to leave George!' Dear me, I am going straight back home to mother!' 'What!' exclaimed the matron, 'has George already proved unkind. Well, they're all alike, my—" "But the weeping bride interrupted her. 'No,' she said, her shoulders shaking with grief, 'George is a dear. He's perfect. But that brute of a Henry Simmons has refused to buy Mrs. Simmons a new dinner gown and district No. 4 of the Amalgamated Wives' union has been ordered out on strike." QUEER KINDS OF CURRENCY. China and Parts of Russia Have the Most Unique. Chinese money is traced back three thousand years before Christ. One emperor objected to copper coinage, gathered a whole issue together, buried it deep into the earth, and threw in on top the workmen employed in digging the pit. The pu and fao currencies were struck in the form of scraps of cloth of knives for barter, and were in existence from about the seventh to the second century before Christ. The commonest of Chinese money is the cash, a round metal disk with a square hole in the center; a thousand of these are worth barely 75 cents. One's cook in China goes to market with great strings of this heavy money round neck, shoulders, and waist, but even when weighted with as much as a strong man can carry, very little of our money is represented. On the Russo-Chinese borders green tee pressed into bricks has been the money of the country for a thousand years.—Sunday Magazine. An Oversight When Chappie got up the other morning he wandered around his apartment in his pretty pink pajamas, the very picture of woe. "What's the matter, sir?" inquired his valet. "I don't know, Alphonse," he groaned; "I passed a most unhappy night." Alphonse looked him over carefully. "Oh, sir," he exclaimed, "I know what was the matter. The trousers of your pajamas were not creased. You must be more careful, sir. Those I had prepared for you were hanging across the foot of the bed."—The Bohemian. Slamese Object to Walking. The Siamese, above all nations in the world, hate to walk; no such mode of progression is tolerated by a Siamese if he or she can by any means ride.

FIT THE GROCER Wife Made the Suggestion. A grocer has excellent opportunity to know the effects of special foods on his customers. A Cleveland grocer has a long list of customers that have been helped in health by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. He says, regarding his own experience: "Two years ago I had been drinking coffee and must say that I was almost wrecked in my nerves. "Particularly in the morning I was so irritable and upset that I could hardly wait until the coffee was served, and then I had no appetite for breakfast and did not feel like attending to my store duties. "One day my wife suggested that inasmuch as I was selling so much Postum there must be some merit in it and suggested that we try it. I took home a package and she prepared it according to directions. The result was a very happy one. My nervousness gradually disappeared and to-day I am all right. I would advise everyone affected in any way with nervousness or stomach troubles, to leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee." "There's a Reason," Read, "The Road , Wellville" in pkgs.

She was rejoicing over the fact that in the slums woman, no matter how wretched her case, kept her speech pure, as a rule, of profanity. "An oath from a woman's lips," she ended, "is unnatural and incredible. I would as soon expect a bullet from a rosebud."

These drugs will produce sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling them "poison." The definition of "narcotic" is: "A medicine which relieves pain and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convulsions and death." The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold under the names of "Drops," "Cordials," "Soothing Syrups," etc. You should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know of what it is composed.

Wayman Mission, June 4, a grand meeting will be held, 1335 Poplar street. Rev. W. B. Steward, pastor. It was the devil's own doll baby who said behind locked doors that the Palladium does not help the order. My family has not several in it who have served workhouse sentences. Shut up; if you don't, I will know the reason why. Women or men having children who have served time in jail and workhouse had better keep their dirty tongues off of the Palladium or anything connected with it, for I will take the cover off of them, as they look like any other rag muffin or the devil's doll baby to us. A hint to them should suffice. When ignorant Negroes get behind the closed doors of a lodgeroom, they often say things in an indirect way which they should not. But I know the old Negro and also your former record. One delinquent subscribed said: "I will pay you Saturday, if I live." He is dead. Another said: "I will see you tomorrow." He is blind. Another profane one said: "I hope to pay you this week or go to hell." He is gone. Brooks' Skating Rink is doing a good business. We advise all to patronize this gentleman. 2120 Market street. E. A.
