ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM Vol. XXIII. No. 24. Is Now COMING Dumas Amu Grand Op PRESENTING FOUR "WON EXHIBITION DRILL FIRST R Wednesday, .. POPULAR JULIUS A. K. FICKLIN, Mgr. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. This is the commencement season throughout Missouri, and President Allen is in great demand to deliver commencement addresses, present diplomas, etc. This brings him into direct contact with patrons of Lincoln Institute and he finds it very enjoyable. Everywhere a perfect ovation was awaited him. Liberty, Rolla, Chillicothe, Sedalia and Kansas City, Kas, are among the cals to which he has responded in the affirmative. Because of conflicting dates he was unable to go to Marshall and several other points as requested. The daily press of bother Rolla and Philomene in referring to President Hillen's address at those points said was one of the best that had ever been given in the history of their schools; and from every point he has brought very timely, interesting and instructive accounts of the financial and educational prosperity of the Afro-American population, showing that the average Missouriian is making good use of his opportunities. There are various reasons why the Negro in the middle west has a more favorable environment in many respects, his breath in in other sections, richness and size of the agricultural district and educational advances. Speaking of the latter, Missouri has a separate system of schools nearer perhaps to giving equal utilities than any other state in march of term, salary of teachers all that goes to make up an educational system. With Lincoln Institute at the head of the system for the Colored population of Missouri, and with the great number of schools in the towns and rural districts in charge of graduates at Lincoln Institute, it is evident that this institution has much to do with molding the educational standards of the state; and President Allen he goes from point to point is only gratified to witness the success of these graduates) the loyal and enthusiastic feeling of the people of Lincoln Institute and its president, and to note the desire on the part of parents to send thither their eight boys and girls. if there are recent graduates in need of position, they will do well to register name and address with Present Allen, as he has many calls for teachers, and especially for those able to teach vocal and instrumental music. Nearly all or quite half of the present senior class has already been sent to positions for the ensuing year through his kindness and forewarned. OLD ORIGINAL AND FAMOUS HARRY DENNY. The old "T. C." leader will give his forth grand picnic of the season on Sunday evening, June 3, at Bloemer's Grove, under the auspices of the Colored City Employees' Social Club. The excellent manner in which General Manager Samuel Woods has so successfully advertised this picnic is served 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 dances and picnics that the name Harry Denny in connection with dance or picnic is in itself an assurance of a good, jolly time. STEAMBOAT EXCURSIONS.

Tabernacle Baptist Church. Last Sunday was a joyful day, as well as a financial rally day, and from the size of the crowd and the general surroundings, it was clearly seen that the dark cloud that has been hanging over the Tabernacle Church at True Reformers' hall had disappeared, and Rev. Dr. J. L. Choran was left in the swim. He and his faithful members had made all preparations for the occasion. Dr. Choran thought it wise to invite all of the different churches throughout the city to take part in the rally. He was very happy when he saw Rev. R. H. Cole, pastor of First Baptist church; Rev. S. P. Anderson, of Antioch Baptist church; Rev. Grant Edwards, of the Mount Olive Baptist Church, Ferguson, Mo., and Rev. D. W. Donnivant, of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, and a few of their members present, and Rev. Choran spared no time in expressing his feelings of gratitude and appreciation for the presence of such an audience of Christian friends, who had come hither to help him in his struggles. The 11 a. m. services were somewhat larger than the 3 p. m. and the collection amounted to $200. Nevertheless, the evening meeting was indeed full of interest from beginning to end. At 3 p. m. the choir began to sing, while the polite ushers were seating the worshippers as they came in. Dr. Choran arose and made a few remarks, after which he introduced Rev. R. H. Cole, the noted pulpit orator, who preached the evening sermon. Rev. Cole started off in his jovial way, making the reporter and everybody laugh to their heart's content. "Yes," said he, "when I was a boy I used to laugh a great deal; people used to get after me about laughing. Yes, I am laughing yet, because I am glad I am living. There are many people out in the cemetery that can not laugh. I get my three good meals a day and am fat, hale and hearty, etc." Providence Baptist Notes. The members of Providence are thoroughly aroused to a sense of duty. The Financial and Chrysanthemum clubs gave socials this week and we are quite hopeful that both were successful. A quartette of the following young men cheered our hearts with several beautiful selections last Monday evening: Messrs. B. Armstrong, B. Baker, William Lynn, A. Bullett. The members of the Chrysanthemum club and pastor were very thankful to have these young men come to our church. They are always welcome and have a warm place in our hearts. Rev. Dr. Winrow and family, of Independence, Mo., were the guests of Rev. E. C. Cole last Tuesday evening. Dr. Winrow is a student of medicine of Maharry Medical college of Nashville, Tenn. They left over the Big Four railroad for Indianapolis, Ind., at 11 p. m. Providence will endeavor to feed the great multitude next Sunday. We may make a miserable failure in our effort, but we will do our best. Practically no one will be charged for their dinner, it being the occasion of our first anniversary. Rev. W. L. Perry, M. D., will preach for us Sunday night. Dr. Perry is one of our leading physicians. Quite a number of the pastors of all denominations have notified us that they will attend the afternoon meeting at 3 o'clock. Our beautiful church will be thrown open from basement to dome for thorough inspection by the masses. There will be four services Sunday, as follows: Sunday school, 9:30 a. m.; preaching, 11 a. m.; platform meeting, 3 p. m.; preaching, 8 p. m. Dinner will be served from 1 p. m. to 3 p. m. ST.

She will probably pass through St. Louis on her return trip in the fall. First Baptist Church News. Next Sunday will be covenant day, hence it it hoped that the church will be crowded with members and friends too, but I would advise the members against getting up and making a great display as to how they love the Lord, etc., and at the same time carrying malice in their hearts against another member and are passing and repassing the said brother or sister and not speaking. This is wrong and your religion is nothing but a mockery; therefore it is better that you would keep your seat and not take part in the speaking at all. Again, some of you go to church and raise a row in the church meetings and don't apologize for it, while others live a life of shame and go to church and tell their determination, knock over benches and the like, all of which is mockery and should be stopped. I will say more about this later. Members, don't forget to send your children out promptly to the Sabbath school at 9 a. m. and the Young People's Union at 5:30 p. m.; also have them to stop awhile at the church service, for our Lord Jesus said: "Suffer, little children, to come unto me and forbid them not, for such is of the Kingdom or Heaven. Mrs. Carrie W. Stevenson, of 2117 Pine street, read an excellent paper in the B. Y. P. U. last Sunday evening on "Marriage and Its Laws, etc." We hope to hear from you again soon, for your paper was indeed grand. Miss Nellie Parks an influential young lady of the First Baptist Church, treated the Young People's Union with a paper last Sunday, which was an exhibition of rare talent and ability. Such papers ought to be read often in the churches and societies throughout the country. Rev. R. H. Cole ought to have another two weeks' series of meetings in the near future. Now, what do you think about Rev. Cole? In the course of his remarks he said, in part: "You may live as good and upright as possible, but somebody will talk about you and tell lies on you, and if you pay attention to lies you will soon get into lies and turn liar yourself. If you want God to forgive you and cleanse you of your dirt, you must make the proper offering before he will hear your prayers. Don't set down in your house and wait for God to come there and give you a job. Get up and get out and hunt work and somebody will hire you. Oh, I am feeling right good this evening. If you love God, you must hate evil. If you are living in a bad neighborhood, where they can bear and do all kinds of devilment, just live above it. God has always provided a way for His people and He will save them in the end. If you all have not done your part, you have lied to God." At the conclusion of Rev. Cole's sermon Dr. Choran introduced Rev. S. P. Anderson, who made a few remarks in behalf of the church, after which Rev. Choran had all the preachers to stand at the collection table and received the moneys which he anticipated getting, which, out of the 400 or 500 present he realized $35.20, making $25.25 raised at the two meetings, 11 a. m. and 3 p. m. services. The church has a bank account of $3,000, hence the chances are that Rev. J. L. Choran will commence building soon. Rev. R. H. C. Sydnor, a local minister of the above church, proprietor and manager of the American Wall Paper Co., was employed to paint and paper the Baptist Church (white) at St. Charles, Mo., which he did with honor and great credit to himself. NOTICE—From date no matter over two inches from churches will be published free of charge. All over will be charged to the writer of said matter, 5c per line. This means you.

WHEELER Baseball The Sumner High School baseball team will play its final game of the season with the strong Spalding team of St. Charles, Mo., at Kuebler's Park, 6100 North Broadway, day afternoon, June 6, at 3:45 o'clock. This will be the second game between these two teams. The first game was played at St. Charles and was won by Sumner, but it was closely contested throughout the first five innings. The St. Charles team has been strengthened considerably since then, and are coming prepared to give the St. Louis boys a good drubbing. The Sumner team expects to repeat the dose given at St. Charles. The record of Sumner this year in baseball has been most creditable, and the boys are expecting a large turnout at their farewell game. To reach park take through Broadway car to 6100 north and walk one block east. COLORED EMPLOYES OF COL. JNO. SSCULLIN Present Beautiful Floral Offering in Memory of Mrs. Scullin. On Friday, May 24, Mrs. Hanna P. Scullin, beloved wife of Col. John S. Scullin, departed this life. Mrs. Scullin was a broad, conscientious woman and her many charitable acts have imprinted upon the memory of humanity a stamp of love and everlasting devotion. their bread. When the committee, composed of William Bell, George Lowery, Randall Dyer, Charles Dundan and Van Mason, called at Mr. Scullin's residence, they were told that Mr. Scullin was busy and the floral offering was given in charge of the butter. Mr. Scullin has in his employ several hundred Negroes, whose high and sincere respect was shown for their employer in the beautiful floral offering which they presented in memory of Mrs. Scullin Sunday, May 26, just before the funeral services began. Since the dawn of his civilization the Negro has been noted for his faithful spirit and devotion toward his beneficiaries. This beautiful floral testimonial portrayed the simple, earnest and devoted feeling of so many faithful Black men, who by virtue of the broad American ideas of Mr. Scullin were earning Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The religious committee is preparing and has been doing mission work in the City Hospital. The program renedered on ladies' evening by the young ladies was excellent. Miss Moman has the fine ability of selecting good programs. The physical committee is about to organize a lawn tennis club. All members interested in that game are requested to see the secretary. Baseball is considered the most popular game in America. Nearly every one fancies it. On the 16th inst. the second team of the Y. M. C. A. and Summer High School crossed bats at Kuebler's Park. The little boys in red were most too strong for the second nine. Their well organized team work and constant practice gave them a decided advantage over the boys in blue, who had not fondled the sphere since last year. The score was 24 to 5. Chagrined at the defeat of the second team, Capt. Mims called out the stead braves of the first team to take Sumner to task for the Kueblar Park action. The battle was called for Decoration Day at Handlan's Park. The little red men struggled manfully to answer Capt. Brooks' call, but they were not equal to the occasion. They were outgeneraled and had to fall Score, 10 to 5 in favor of Y. M. C. A. Aumries, Hicks and Huffman. Time one hour and 50 minutes. Furnished room for rent at 2632A Lawton avenue.

When the committee, composed of William Bell, George Lowery, Randall Dyer, Charles Dundan and Van Mason, called at Mr. Scullin's residence, they were told that Mr. Scullin was busy and the floral offering was given in charge of the butter. When Mr. Scullin was informed that the tribute was from his Colored employees, he sent his butler to request the Colored men to return. They then returned to the house and Mr. Scullin met them with tears in his eyes and with words filled with much sorrow he thanked them for their condolence and tribute of respect to his beloved wife. The floral design represented "Gates Ajar." "Shed not for her the bitter tear, Nor give the heart to vain regret; 'Tis but the casket that lies here, The gem that filled it sparkles yet."

Mortified and chagrined because his 15-year-old daughter insisted on constantly playing "Everybody Works But Father" in his presence, a St. Louis man is suing for divorce. He is entitled to a hearing on the ground of specific, persistent and intolerable indignities. Miss Maud Powell, born in Peru, Ill., is now considered the greatest woman violinist. She is famous because she is a great artist and she is great because she measures up to the standard of violin playing established by virtuosos of the highest rank, without any allowance being made for the fact that she is a woman. It has been found that misdirected letters, with the return address written on the back of the envelope have been sent to the dead-letter office. The ruling of the post office department is that clerks cannot be expected to look on both sides of an envelope, and that the proper place for the return address is the upper left-hand corner of the face of the envelope. A duke who had come to this country for the purpose of getting a rich wife sailed for home the other day without having found any American girl with more than half a million who would have him. Our heiresses have progressed to the point at which they can regard it as only fair that they should demand something for their money. During the severe weather in January the young queen of Spain ordered that the number of rations given to the poor at her expense be doubled. At the beginning of the winter she gave orders for 1,000 rations a day, so that now from her own private income she is paying for 2,000 rations daily. Judged by the American standard, the queen of Spain does not belong to the class of the extremely rich. There are at least 50 American women between the age of 20 and 30 who have private incomes greater than that enjoyed by her majesty. James Fitzgerald, judge of the supreme court of New York, who presided at the Thaw trial, was born in Ireland in 1857. An intimate friend says of him: "His keynote is force. There is force in his straight stare, his firm-set jaw and even in the insistent bristle of his clipped mustache. And yet his gentleness—that certain adjunct of all true justice—has more than once moved the admiration of the spectators of the late nerve-wrecking drama, and the women of the trial had reason many times to be thankful for his native courtesy.

"One thousand people, beaten in the battle of life, commit suicide in New York every year." Such was the startling statement made by Colonel Holland, of the Salvation army, three days after the new Anti-Suicide Bureau was established at the army headquarters on Fourteenth street, New York. 0 The Anti-Sulcide bureau asks all who have grown desperate and have determined to take their own lives, to come in and tell their troubles with the absolute assurance that their confidence will be withheld from the world, and see if some better way cannot be found to escape their present misery than by seeking oblivion in the ley waters of the North river. Of course, like all new and startling innovations the new bureau was considered by many as doomed to failure—that people who wished to kill themselves would not stop to see if there were hope and prospects of new life in the little reception room of the Salvationists; but all this was before the first haggard, wild-eyed creature had knocked hesitatingly at the door of Colonel Holland's office, or had been ushered into the motherly presence of the brigadier on the floor below. In three days 20 people in deep distress had called "to talk it over." "I am firmly convinced," said Colonel Holland, "that all of our callers were people who had had the idea of committing suicide. There were no 'fake cases.' They gave us their whole life and heart history without reserve." Religious Progress in Japan. Bishop Harris of Japan writes: "The Greek and Roman Catholics in Japan number about 100,000. The Protestants are equally strong, and all won in less than a generation. Most of the Protestant churches have become independent national institutions, and the Japan Methodist church is soon to be organized by the union of the Methodist Episcopal church, the Methodist Episcopal church, south, and a Methodist church of Canada, which will have over 12,000 members, 128 organized churches, 139 ministers, 62 Bible women, 14 boarding schools for both sexes, with 2,729 pupils, 32 day schools, with 2,713 pupils, two theological schools with 53 students, and churches and parsonages worth over $100,000. Chinese Women's Christian Conference A remarkable conference of Christian women met recently in Wet Hsien, the Holy Land of China. There were 300 women representing over 200 villages, and 200 more came from the neighborhood. Here was a gathering of women, some of them over 70, who had hobbled on their bound feet for 50 miles or less, carrying bedding, hymn book and Bible. More remarkable still is the fact that their husbands encouraged them to go, though many had never before been more than two miles from home. Church Property Divided. Church Property Divided. The decision recently given by the Elgin commission, appointed to arbitrate in the case of the division of property of the United Free church, gives to the United Free church the assembly halls and college buildings in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen, and the greater share of the foreign mission funds. The "Wee Frees" receive two additional church edifices in Glasgow, a block of office buildings in Edinburgh, and an annuity of $15,000 a year for maintenance of their theological college. In addition they will receive something for their foreign work, which is conducted on a small scale. The Best Sunday School Teacher Hon. George White, president of the London Sunday School Union, recently stated that he had found that 99 in a hundred of the rank and file of Sabbath school teachers were busy working people. It is an open secret among ministers and superintendents that the most energetic Sunday school teachers are those who also work hard during the week. Go-to-Church Society. The Go-to-Church society is the name of an organization of children in the Scotch Presbyterian church, the second oldest of the denomination in New York city. This has about 75 members, and it was organized by the pastor, Rev. Dr. David G. Wylie. The little folks promise to go to church every Sunday morning they possibly can. Long Eastern Trip. Dean Bosworth, D. D., of Oberlin Theological seminary, has sailed from San Francisco for an eastern trip of about four months, mainly under the auspices of the World's Student federation. New Church for Manila. A large Filipino Methodist Episcopal church is in process of erection in a prominent location in the city of manila. MOSES CALLED TO DELIVER ISRAEL Sunday School Lesson for June 2,1907 Specially Prepared for This Paper. LESSON TEXT.-Exodus 3:1-14. Memory verses, 2-4. GOLDEN TEXT.-"And he said, Certainly I will be with thee."-Exodus 3-12. TIME.-According to the common chronology Moses left Egypt at the age of 40, B. C. 152. His call was 40 years later, B. C. 1492 or 1493. Others place it nearer 1300 or even 1290. PLACE.-The portion of the land of Midian where Moses spent the 40 years was probably the southeastern part of the Sinatic peninsula. The burning bush was on Mount Sinai, between the two arms of the Red sea. Sinia and Horeh are interchangeable terms, though some think Sinai to be one of the mountains in the mountain district called Horeh. RULERS.-The Pharaoh when Moses left Egypt was probably Rameses II. His son, Menephtah, was probably the Pharaoh when Moses was called to deliver Egypt. Comment and Suggestive Thought. "The bush burning, yet not consumed, has always been regarded as an emblem of Israel in Egypt. Moses, in his farewell blessing of the tribes, could find no richer benediction of the sons of Joseph than to wish for them 'the good will of Him that dwelt in the bush.' The Church of Scotland, therefore, has not made an inappropriate or unwarranted use of this emblem, when, looking at her own history, how she was cradled in persecution, she has put upon her banner a representation of the burning bush, with the legend: 'Nec tamen consumatur,' 'Yet it was not consumed.'"—W. M. Taylor. Moses' Objections and Their Answers.—Vs. 11-14; also to Ex. 5:17. Moses may have known that Rameses II. had been succeeded by his son Menephthah, a much weaker ruler; but he understood thoroughly the mighty power of Egypt, and, conscious of his own insignificance, it is small wonder that he began to bring forward objections to God's amazing proposal. First Objection, Moses' Insignificance. V. 2. "Who am I, that I shall go into Pharaoh?" An exile under sentence of death, a shepherd 80 years old going to a magnificent court from which he had been absent 40 years, an old man attempting the stupendous task of freeing 2,000,000 slaves and organizing them into a nation. No wonder Moses faltered. First Answer, God's Presence. V. 12. "Certainly I will be with thee." That same power before which Moses was hiding his face would go with him to confront his enemies. Second Answer, God's purpose. "Ye shall serve God upon this mountain." "The fixing of that future meeting place would serve to give confidence to Moses by showing a resolute, clear purpose on the part of God."—Macgregor. Second Objection, the People's Idolatry. 13. Moses remembered how ignorant the Hebrews were concerning the God of their fathers. When he brought them a message from God, they would be sure to ask: "What is his name?" "The Egyptians had various gods, and Israel, long used to their practices, would be sure to ask after the name of the God whose messenger Moses was. How was he to be named to them?"—Alford. Answer, the Name of the One God, 14. "What a graven image or some outward symbol was to all other nations, that a name, and a name only, was to the Israelite."—Hanna. The name God revealed to Moses was not unknown before (Gen. 22:14), but it was filled with a new meaning. "I AM THAT I AM." Third Objection, the People's Incredulity. Moses foresaw (Ex. 4:1) that the people would not believe his story, and, as 40 years before, would refuse to follow his lead. Answer, the Gift of Miraculous Power, "What is that in thine hand?" Jehovah asked; and bestowed upon the common shepherd's staff the power to become a 'serpent at the bidding of Moses, while the hand itself, thrust into his bosom, became white with leprosy, and thrust in again, became sound once more. One other miracle, the turning of water into blood, was definitely promised. Fourth Objection, Moses' Slowness of Speech. Moses foresaw that the great task would require much talking, and he was not an orator. Answer: "Who hath made man's mouth?" was Jehovah's grand reply. Doubtless if Moses had accepted the assurance, God would have developed the oratorical power that he certainly possessed, and he would not have been obliged to share with another the glory that God meant for him alone. The Great Task Is Begun—Ex. 4: 18-31; chapters 5 and 6. Obtaining Jethro's consent to his return, and leaving his wife and children in their safe home, Moses set out upon his perilous undertaking. He was met by Aaron, and the two old men, after an affectionate greeting, formed their plans for the campaign that was to mean so much to the world. Practical Points. Every one has a work for which God sets him apart, as truly as Moses. No one else can do your work. God does not always disclose a man's work early in life. Nothing is gained by moving ahead of God's time, as Moses did in his first attempt. Too fast in music is as bad as too slow. God knows best how to prepare us to our life work. If we are in the course of duty, God's call to great things may come at any time, while we are about our commonest tasks. 2601 LAWTON AVENUE. N.W. Cor. Jefferson and Lawton Aves. Open Day and Night.

MILITARY MILITARY MILITARY Judging by the apathetic manner that the Republican party managers display towards the demands of the 10,000 Negro voters of this city, we are to understand either of two things—that they care nothing whatever about the Negroes' rights in the matter of appointments or that they believe they will be able to beguile the Negro into lending the Republican party the assistance in future elections that they have always heretofore rendered in the past because of that party's alleged friendiness towards them. Not so; conditions and men have changed materially since the days of Lincoln, Grant and McKinley; and again a different class of men have gained control of the party's affairs, locally at least, and, too, a new and more progressive race of Negroes are now to be reckoned with—a kind of men who have ideas and desires about on a par with those of other intelligent and progressive nations and who are not inclined to be satisfied with "much promise and little performance." The Negro voters of St. Louis have at last begun to realize that they have been used only as cat's paws and as a means to further the ends of a lot of selfish, designing politicians, whose only desire is to feather their nests by the control of that fall their way. The Negroes, feeling that they have by their active earnest work in the election of last fall merited some part of the political "ple," until now so ungenerously divided, have effected arrangements whereby they will be able to change existing conditions, and while it may be painful to the aforesaid politicians, it will in a measure be in the nature of a balm to the Negroes' wounded feelings. The gist of which is that in the future elections the Negroes will be cast for those men and that party that will be most serviceable and appreciative to this long suffering class of voters. They have been grossly misled and discriminated against before, but never to such an extent as the present time, and they mean to resent it in a forcible and telling manner by instead of turning out 10.0 strong to retain these pigney politicians in power. They intend to see what effect those thousands of voters will have when cast another way. Baltimore, May 8.—The Negroes or Baltimore are responsible for the election of the Democratic ticket, and Brownsville is the cause of it. The statement is made by many people that the Negroes did not vote, but those who did go to the polls were Republicans, and they voted for a Democrat as a protest against President Roosevelt's action in the Brownsville case. Now the question arises whether the Negro vote all over the country will be affected as it has in Baltimore. If it should be, the calculations of Taft Republicans in 'Ohio may have to be revised, as there is a Colored vote in that state of 50,000. Will the managers of the Republican party in Missouri take warning? 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 A.

LOUIS PALLADIUM During the month of February a lady asked a common Negro about the Palladium Man. He said he wished he was dead. Well, I have lived long enough to see him in the police court for stealing an overcoat. Chickens will come home to roost. Buddle Guest. Wilborn, the fake bondsman, has gone to the workhouse for six months. We shall make it convenient to go down and see him soon. We will not publish the names of the old women yet, as there was so much h—raised about the old Negro men who want to be young. We have about 20 more next week and then on the 15th of June we will publish about 50 names of old women ranging from 45 to 96. We have now about 30 names, 15 of whom have given their age and the other 15 are old women who want to be young. When ignorant Negroes get ochind 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. Billups is a candidate for the dead beat society. He formerly lived at 4279, 4348 and 419 St. Ferdinand Avenue. At one place he had a wife. Wait for the history of this man. In Want of a Preacher. Rev. A. A. Tolson, of De Soto, Mo, Box 883, has been called to be pastor for the Dead Beat Society. They have applied to the Palladium for his past record and of course we will give it. He will be their next pastor. Provident Hospital Excursion.

Mr. Kornet, of 914 Market street, is one of the best tailors in St. Louis. The Palladium man formerly had his clothes made by him, but of late years he has been too poor to have clothes made to order, and now gets them as best he can, but young men who want an up-to-date suit, go to 914 MR. J. H. KENT. Mr. J. H. Kent, the barber, has moved his barber shop from 11 North 14th street, to 1417 Market. A splendid location for a first-class barber shop. Mr. Kent is always doing something to improve the business of the Negro of St Louis, and that is the way to do it, by establishing new business enterprises among our people. Mrs. Mary E. Clements, of Duquoin, Ill., is visiting Mrs. E. Anderson, of 218 Center street. She is much pleased with our city. She leaves for home tomorrow (Sunday), June 2.

C., writes: "I kernersville with stomach trouble and indigestion for some time, and nothing that I ate agreed with me. I was very nervous and experienced a continual feeling of uneasiness and fear. I took medicine from the doctor, but it did me no good. "I found in one of your Peruna books a description of my symptoms. I then wrote to Dr. Hartman for advice. He said I had catarrh of the stomach. I took Peruna and Manalin and followed his directions and can now say that I feel as well as I ever did. "I hope that all who are afflicted with the same symptoms will take Peruna, as it has certainly cured me." The above is only one of hundreds who have written similar letters to Dr. Hartman. Just one such case as this entitles Peruna to the candid consideration of every one similarly afflicted. If this be true, then what ought to be the testimony of hundreds, yes thousands, of honest, sincere people. We have in our files a great many other testimonials.

ROOSEVELT AT INDIANAPOLIS DELIVERS ADDRESS AT THE UNVEILING OF MONUMENT TO GEN. HENRY W. LAWTON. IS GREETED BY THOUSANDS Vice President Fairbanks Addressed the People After the Dedicatory Services Were Over— -Thanks Were drct. Indianapolis, Ind.—President Roosevelt delivered the principal address at the unveiling of a monument to Gen. Henry W. Lawton. The speech was devoted to a discussion of railway problems and incidentally paid a warm tribute to Oliver Morton, the war governor of Indiana.

A. R. and other organizations. The parade route of two miles was lined by cheering masses of people. Vice President Fairbanks' Address. Follow the ceremonies, Vice President Fairbanks' addressed the crowd briefly. He said: "Fellow citizens, I can say but a word. I wish to express to the president of the United States that which I know is in the hearts of all of you and that is thanks for the admirable address he has just delivered here. He came into the state this morning greeted by thousands at the state line. From Union City until he reached Indianapolis he was met with the loud acclaim of our citizens. As he leaves us tonight, after this crowning event of an eventful day, he will carry with him the assurance that the great citizenship of Indiana is loyal to the memory of those who made illustrious the years from 1861 to 1865 and that the people of Indiana are for clean lines in civil life and honesty in public service. My friends, I thank you and bid you good-night." At the conclusion of the exercises the president and vice president were driven to Crown Hill cemetery, where the president placed on the grave of former President Benjamin Harrison a wreath of galanax leaves and lilies of the valley, which he brought with him from Washington. The train bearing the president left here for Fort Wayne, Ind., where he was to pass the night on his car. Stops were made at Anderson and Bancie. CANAL AREA TOO LARGE. It Is Not Thought Water Supply Is Sufficient for Increase. Panama—According to a report made by the minority of the isthmian canal commission, it was estimated that the area of the canal and lakes would not exceed 110 square miles. It now appears from a excellent authority that portion of the canal and lake surveyed up to date, which is less than half of the ultimate total, exceeds 200 square miles, and fears are entertained regarding the sufficiency of the water supply. The Chagres river, it is said, can not supply water for this increased area. Japanese Prince to Canada. Japanese Prince to Canada.

THE JAPANESE VIEW STATEMENT OF SITUATION IN SAN FRANCISCO. BELIEVE IT TO BE RACIAL PREJUDICE Street Car Strike Is Blamed for Japs' Present Lack of Protection from the City. San Francisco—The Japanese association, composed of leading Japanese residents, made the following statement of the Japanese view of the recent assaults committed against Japanese in this city: "In the first place the Japanese residents of San Francisco realize the fact that present conditions in this city made it very difficult for the authorities to extend full protection. They understand that the strike upon the street railway puts a heavy tax upon the police force and that it is impossible to guard all places at times against the lawless element of the community. "They are fully convinced, however, that much of the violence to which they had been subjected is due to racial prejudice, and that the attempts which are being made in certain quarters to have it appear that the trouble is confined to quarrels between laboring men, incidentally involving the Japanese, are without justification. "In support of this view they direct attention to the fact that the Japanese restaurants have been systematically annoyed and simultaneously attacked. Hardly a day goes by in the territory south of Market street that some threatening demonstration is not made by roughs and hoodlums against Japanese places of business in that quarter." LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. North Dakota Court Says Temperance Commissioner Can Not Act. Bismarck, N. D.—The state supreme court declared the law creating the office of state temperance commissioner unconstitutional. The decision was the result of the arrest last week of former Supreme Court Justice Corliss for contempt of court when he ignored District Judge Winchester, who forbade him from appearing before the grand jury as assistant state temperance commissioner. Judge Corliss claimed that under the law his appointment as assistant temperance commissioner empowered him as an assistant state's attorney to act before the grand jury. The supreme court field that the legislature could not delegate to an appointive officer rights already delegated to elective officials. A HUNDRED YEAR CLUB.

BLUEJACKETS NOT ADMITTED MEN OF THE NAVY IN SERVICE UNIFORM KEPT FROM DANCING PAVILION. DEPARTMENT TAKES HOLD Other Clothes Are Furnished Them If They Wish to Dance—Park Is Under Management of Col- lumbia Amusement Co. Washington., May 29.—Discrimination against the bluejacket uniform of the navy at the dancing pavilion of the Pine Beach and Amusement park, a resort adjacent to the Jamestown exposition, has led Secretary Metcalf to vigorous action. Complaint was made to the navy department by Lieut. J. V. Babcock, commanding the United States steamship Truxton, on May 16. The substance of this report and position taken by Secretary Metcalf in the matter is given by him in a letter to Gov. Swanson of Virginia, dated May 22. Secretary Metcalf say: "This department is in receipt of an unofficial report from the commanding officer of the U. S. S. Truxton, dated Pine Beach, Va., May 16, 1907 with regard to a case of disrespect to the service uniform which has occurred during the sojourn of the flotilla on Pine Beach. "The commanding officer of the Truxton states that the dancing pavilion of Pine Beach refuses admittance to men in bluejacket uniform; at the same time grant unqualified admittance to soldiers in uniform. "S. E. Lane, gunner's mate of the first class, was, on the 15th inst., refused admission to the dancing pavilion, the manager stating that under no circumstances would men in blue-jacket uniforms be admitted; that the men were not objected to, but their uniform was, and that if they wished to go in and dance, other clothes would be furnished them. The request was made to see the 'other clothes' mentioned, and the petty officer was shown a dressing room where a stock of white clothes was kept, 'very much similar to the regulation mess attendant uniform.' On being informed that the matter would be reported to the proper authorities, the manager stated that the action would do no good and would be a waste of time. "This park is advertised as being under the management of the Columbia Amusement CQ., incorporated. W. F. Crawl, president. "As the navy is doing everything in its power to make the exposition a success, your attention is invited to this instance of apparent discrimination against the service uniform, and it is believed that some action should be taken thereon withholding the license or otherwise. If such practices be permitted, the result will, this department feels assured, prove highly prejudicial to the navy services by causing the uniform of the navy to be looked upon with disfavor." KILLED BY A WOMAN. Belleving Her Husband Was Being Killed, Goes to His Assistance. Rawlins, Wyo., May 29.—Believing that her husband was about to be killed by his two infuriated partners, with whom he was engaged in a desperate battle with knives, beer glasses and other missiles, Mrs. Matty Ringwood shot and killed one of the men, A. Davis, and fatally wounded Webb Stone, the second. The shooting occurred in a saloon here. The three men, who were owners of a restaurant in the rear, became engaged in a heated discussion while drinking at the bar. Mrs. Ringwood, who was in the restaurant, heard the men quarrelling and, grabbing a revolver, she rushed into the saloon and began shooting. The woman was arrested immediately afterward. She declares the men were beating her husband and would have killed him if she had not taken the drastic action. Arctic Explorers Meet. New York, May 29.—The Duke of Azruzdi, Commander Robert E. Peary, U. S. N., and Col. David L. Brainard, U. S.

A remarkable wedding has lately taken place at Naples, remarkable because of the extreme youth and alertness of the happy couple. When Celestino Guardano, aged 15, with Glcella Nappi, his chosen bride, went to the registry office to be married, the commissioner was very loath to perform the ceremony, for the pair had not reached the age limit prescribed by the civil code. The young folks had evidently expected to have to overcome difficulties to their union, for while the commissioner was hesitating as to what he should do, they sprang a surprise on him and settled the matter by producing a royal decree of dispensation, which they had obtained direct from the king. This being proved genuine the children were joined to wedlock in the presence of their parents and a large gathering of interested spectators. "Tainted Money" No New Thing.

A feeling of general weakness, poor appetite, loss of breath after the slightest exercise and broken sleep are some of the symptoms of general debility. You may think that they have no relation to each other and that you will worry along, hoping all the time to feel better soon. This is a mistake, for every one of the symptoms is caused by bad blood, which must be made pure and now before health will be restored again. A tonic treatment is necessary and for this purpose there is no better remedy than Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mr. J. G. Havey, of 05 Willow St. Chelsea, Mass., says: "I was sick for a number of years from general debility and indigestion. I was never free from stomach trouble and my nerves were so shattered that the least excitement unfitted me for any serious work. My sleep was restless on account of terrible pains in the small of my back. These pains would sometimes last for a month or two. My sight grew weak, there seeming to be a blur constantly before my eyes. I couldn't concentrate my mind on my work, and the attempt to do so completely exhusted me. "I was finally forced to give up position I had held for twenty years. After trying several medicinal without help, I read of Dr. Willia Pink Pills and gave them a trial. I made me feel so much better a much stronger that I started in bus for myself here in Chelsea. I never had a return of my form,ness and cheerfully recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as an excellent nerve and blood tonic." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have long been recognized as an excellent tonic remedy in cases of indigestion and general debility, where the stomach and other organs of the body are weakened and disordered simply through lack of proper nourishment. They have also been especially successful in curing anemia, rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and fevers.

"I heard some good news to-day, Nancy," he said, leaning forward expectantly. She raised her eyes questioningly. "Father's bought a farm in Dakota," he went on, "and he wants me to go out there and run it for him next year." He paused, but she did not reply. "Well!" he asked at length. Went on. "It will be a very good chance for you." "And you?" "I'm getting on very well teaching school." "But I don't want you to teach school, Nancy," he pleaded. "Think how much nicer it would be to have a little home of our own." "I don't want a home of my own," she replied, turning her head away. "Have you forgotten your promise?" he asked, a note of mingled pain and surprise in his voice. "You told me once you loved me." There were tears in her eyes as she looked at him imploringly. "I know I promised, Jimmie," she said. "but I was young then and scarcely realized what it meant." "But Nancy—" She checked him with an appealing gesture. "I don't love you, Jimmie. I've tried and tried, but I can't. I don't believe I ever did." Mechanically she drew off her ring and held it out toward him. He made no move to take it, but rose abruptly and walked over to the window. For a long time he stood there, gazing at the whirling snowflakes outside, and when he finally turned and came back his face was so changed that the girl in the big armchair hardly recognized him. He came and stood in front of her chair, steadying himself a moment before he spoke. "Think of these four years, Nancy," he said. "These four happy years, and that one particular evening long ago when we were out on the lake and the moonlight turned the waves to rippling silver. Oh, I was happy then. It all seemed too good to be true. To think that you, the dearest girl in all the world, had promised to be mine and only mine. It seemed like a glorious dream. Yes, it was a dream, and I am just beginning to waken." His voice broke and he buried his face in his hands. "Don't, Jimmie, please don't," she sobbed. "Don't you see that I can't help it? You'll find some girl out there, Jimmie, a nicer and a truer girl than I am." "I never want to see another girl," he replied. "Good-by, Nancy, I hope you'll be happy." In a moment he was gone out into the storm and darkness with an awful unease freezing his very soul, andack in the house a fair-haired girl ganed her head on the arm of the old chair and sobbed herself to sleep. Slowly the weeks passed away. The bleak winter with its sleet and snow had gone, and the beautiful summer flowers were fading one by one to make room for the gorgeous colors of autumn. Nancy had been attending summer school and was coming home again—home to the little white schoolhouse and the dear, exasperating children. Somehow the thought of it did not awaken any of the old enthusiasm. She used to think she loved to teach, but now—well, she was almost afraid she was beginning to hate it. She kept thinking of him and remembering his many little acts of kindness. How good he had been and how manly! There was a sharp shriek of the whistle and the passengers were nearly thrown from their seats as the airbrakes were suddenly thrown on. Then there came a crash, and outside the cries of excited men mingled with the hiss of escaping steam. The passengers hurriedly climbed out and ran forward. A stock train had broken a truck and in stopping to repair it had neglected to put out signals to warn other trains that might be approaching. The caboose was a total wreck and the passenger engine badly damaged. The train crews, with the help of some of the passengers, set to work at once to remove the wreckage. Before they had gone far they came upon a body of a man, crushed and bleeding, but still alive. Carefully they cut away the timbers that held him, and carried him out and laid him on the grass. A well meaning old gentleman attempted to lead Nancy away from the gruesome sight, but too late. She had recognized the blood-stained features, and with a frightened sob she sprang forward. "Jimmie!" she cried, as all unmildful of the wondering crowd she knelt beside him and threw her arms about his neck. "Jimmie, don't you know me?" Slowly the eyes opened and the lips parted in a wavering smile. Tenderly she bent over and kissed them. "I love you, Jimmie," she whispered. "I'm just beginning to realize how much I do love you. You're not going to die, are you, Jimmie." You'll live for my sake, won't you?" His bruised face seemed almost transfigured with happiness as he nodded a silent assent. And he did live, though the doctors gave him up more than once. But Nancy's loving care was rewarded at last and he began to improve slowly, though it was months before he was entirely well. Nancy never went back to teaching school, but if you should ever happen to go out to a certain part of South Dakota you would find her and Jimmie in one of the closest, happiest homes in the whole state.

There was so much ceremony connected with a church cornerstone laying in New York city a few weeks ago that the moving picture machine man felt warranted to take a couple of miles of photographs. These pictures proved to be very good, and large crowds were delighted with the exact reproduction of the dedicatory exercises. "I like the moving pictures better than I did the original service," confessed a prominent member of the congregation. "You do," gasped a devout elder. "I'm surely pained to hear you say so. Why should you prefer the pictures?" "Because the picture man," answered the prominent member, pleasantly, "cut out all the sermons." Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes.

A youthful New York artist recently invited a friend to dinner in her studio. As the bachelor maid's skill was greater in mixing colors than in catering to grosser tastes, the dinner was something to gnash one's teeth at and upon. The roast chicken was tough, the potatoes were underdone, the pineapple salad was pithy. In anguish of mind, the young hostess sank to the depths of apologizing. "The dinner was delightful, I assure you," said her guest, a charming woman who would cheerfully have perished at the stake rather than utter a tactless word: "I have rarely tasted such tender gravel." It has been calculated that the cost of a muddy day in London is something like $25,000. This is not surprising, says Tit-Bits, when one remembers that no fewer than 32 tons of mud are carried about from place to place on the wheels of carts and carriages and horses' hoofs. After a wet day the dry mud brushed from people's clothing amounts to 15 tons, and a very similar amount is shaken out of the door mats. City mud, however, has its good points. The shoeeblack increases his earnings in the muddy weather, and new silk hats and dresses and boots and shoes are each and all the direct outcome of its destructive qualities. DR. TALKS OF FOOD Pres. of Board of Health. "What shall I eat?" is the daily inquiry the physician is met with. I do not hesitate to say that in my judgment, a large percentage of disease is caused by poorly selected and improperly prepared food. My personal experience with the fully-cooked food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to speak freely of its merits. "From overwork, I suffered several yea's with malnutrition, palpitation of the heart, and loss of sleep. Last summer I was led to experiment personally with the new food, which I used in conjunction with good rich cow's milk. In a short time after I commenced its use, the disagreeable symptoms disappeared, my heart's action became steady and normal, the functions of the stomach were properly carried out and I again slept as soundly and as well as in my youth. "I look upon Grape-Nuts as a perfect food, and no one can gain say but that it has a most prominent place in a rational, scientific system of feeding. Any one who uses this food will soon be convinced of the soundness of the principle upon which it is manufactured and may thereby know the facts as to its true worth."

Gautier, a French explorer, is authority for the statement that the Sahara is continuously becoming drier to such an extent that the oases are perceptibly drying up and will disappear altogether in a relatively short time. He quotes historic records and physical signs to show that springs were at one time more plentiful than now, and that the extent of the patches where vegetation flourishes were much greater even 50 to 100 years ago. As the climate of the region has undergone no change in perhaps thousands of years, he believes that the disappearance of the water must be due to purely mechanical causes. He considers that it is due to the continual advance of the great sand masses to the north, thus forming an impenetrable barrier against the watershed of the Atlas mountains.—N. Y. Sun. BABY ITCHED TERRIBLY. Face and Neck Covered with Inflamed Skin—Doctors No Avail—Cured by Cuticura Remedies. "My baby's face and neck were covered with itching skin similar to eczema, and she suffered terribly for over a year. I took her to a number of doctors, and also to different colleges, to no avail. Then Cuticura Remedies were recommended to me by Miss G—I did not use it at first, as I had tried so many other remedies without any favorable results. At last I tried Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent Pills, and to my surprise noticed an improvement. After using three boxes of the Cuticura Ointment, together with the Soap and Pills, I am pleased to say she is altogether a different child and the picture of health. Mrs. A. C. Brestlin, 171 N. Lincoln St., Chicago, Ill., Oct 20 and 30, 1906." Return of the Prodigal. "I do play in tough luck sometimes," declared the impecunious girl. "Last night, you remember how it rained. I happened to be in the neighborhood of some friends of mine whom I had not seen since the last hard rain. I concluded to call. Before they asked me in they grabbed the umbrella I carried, hurried across the room with it, placed it in a closet there and locked the door on it. "Thank heaven!" they cried. "At last! Our long lost umbrella!" Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. One Hundred Years Ago. Gen. Zebulon Pike was discovering the peak that bears his name. "The reason why I know I'm the first white man that ever saw it," he said, "is that it hasn't got any patent medicine signs on it." Regretting that he couldn't spare the time to stop and discover the gold that lay hidden all around him, he took a parting look at the snowy summit of the peak and resumed his tolson march. FRANK J. CHENNY makes oath that he is senior partner of the firm of F. J.

A Counter Irritant. "Have you made arrangements to prevent fraud in the election?" "No," answered Senator Sorghum; "I couldn't quite manage that. But I've done the next best thing to defeat the opposition's iniquity. I've made arrangements that'll make their fraud so insignificant by comparison that it won't be noticed." With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-waist just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron.

The new insurance law of the State of New York has opened up a promising field for both men and women with brains and energy in the sale of life insurance. The law now provides standard forms of policies, each of which practically bears the hall mark of the State of New York, and this new order of things has established the sale of life insurance on a correct basis. The prohibition against rebating and extravagant allowances to agents has driven out of the business the old type of insurance agent, who in many cases virtually bought business, with large rebates, instead of selling it. His place is being taken by professors, lawyers, school teachers of both sexes, and others, who find that being a life insurance agent under the new system offers greater reward than their previous vocations. The law has reduced commissions but all of the commission now goes to the agent. Life insurance is something that everyone needs and under the present system its sale is being conducted with becoming dignity and propriety. Paul Morton, president of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, has taken the lead in building up an agency organization that is in keeping with the demands of public sentiment, and the standard he has set for his company. He says: "We want new agents, both men and women, but none except energetic, able and truthful people need apply. For such there is a splendid opportunity." Mr. Morton's policy of injecting new and vigorous blood into the agency force of the Society is meeting with success in all parts of the country. Ghosts of Dead Lakes. In the great basin between the Rockles and the Sierra Nevadas lie the ghosts of many dead lakes. Rivers still flow down to the dry edge of these one-time great reservoirs and are licked up by evaporation and the chinook winds. Of all the lakes that once lay there, only Great Salt Lake, Lake Tahoe and Bear Lake are left. The Southern Pacific rolls for 165 miles across the bed of what was once Lake Lahontan, and the passengers gazing idly from the windows may see the terraces and wrinkles in the crust of the fossil lake which nature robbed and defrauded of its crystal treasures ages ago—Exchange.
