K. FICKLIN, Mgr. HARRY DENNY, THE RECORD BREAKER, CANNOT BE BEAT- EN IN HIS HOME TOWN. Almost 4,000 People in Attendance at His Picnic of June 3. Most Notable Feature of the Picnic Was the Large Number of Promi- nent People in Attend. That Harry Denny is the most popular manager of picnics for the Colored people was again demonstrated on the afternoon and evening of June 3, when he drew an attendance of 2,455, among whom were such prominent people as Miss Curtis, Mrs. Holt, Mrs. Reddie, Mrs. Grace Jaekson, of New York; Mrs. Lilla Sharp, Mrs. Mamie Avent and company, Miss Johnie Yopp, Miss Oaks, Mr. Pitts and wife, Mr. Weaver and wife, Mr. and Mrs. L. Fields, Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Mamie Shores, Miss Susie Hamilton, Mrs. Charles C. Blumfeld, also some of the leading ladies of the American Beauty Club, Mrs. Julia McGinnis, Mrs. Mahala Denny, Mrs. Clara Pierce, Mrs. Lulu Smith, Mrs. Ida Smith, Miss Mamie Harris, Mrs. Anna Banks. The ladies of the American Beauty Club were entertained byessrs. Charles Ming and Will Sanders. There were a large number of the prominent people in attendance those names the reporter did not obtain, but nevertheless they were there. The picnic was a very orderly one, a fact which has been commented upon a great deal. Several of Louis Nolte's deputy sheriffs found their way to the grove, as well as a number of other well known men of their coterie. The day was an ideal one and the weather was all that could be desired. Messrs. Willie Smith and S. P. McGinnis were kept very busy looking at the comforts of the great crowd, and extended cordial greetings to everyone, and especially did they perform their duty well toward the beautiful ladies in attendance. Samuel Woods, the general manager of the C. C. E., under whose auspices this picnic was held, has endearled himself in the hearts of the members and his associates for the success achieved in advertising this picnic, and promises to do better the next time. He is already making preparations for the picnic to be given on July 1 at Bloomecke's Grove under the auspices of the C. C. E., of which Harry Denny is the president. SHE IS 50 YEARS OLD TODAY. A pleasant surprise as well as an eventful one. Good Samaritan Council No. 400 gave their Past M. E. Q., Mrs. S. A. Collins, of 3220 Hickory street, a surprise birthday party at her palatial residence Wednesday evening, June 5, on her fifteenth anniversary, and the different councils of the city gave her a handsome badge gotten up by Grand Master Fiels especially for the occasion. Daughter Martha Pried, of Good Samaritan Council, made the presentation speech with telling effect. All of those present were called on to say something in honor of the grand old lady who has done such valuable work for the order. Sir Knight John W. Wheeler, Western Grand Master, made a speech regarding the order and her work in it for the past seven years. Daughter Mary Buckner, of St. Joseph Council, made a splendid speech in regard to her and Daughter Ada Harris Juvenile, assisted by Mrs. Fred C. Williams, also of St. Joseph Council, Grand Master Fields again made an effective talk and then sprung a splendid and much needed surprise by announcing the appointment of Sir Knight R. C. Carter, of Silver Leaf Council No. 800, as Deputy Grand Master, with jurisdiction over the States of Missouri, Indiana and Illinois. Sir Knight Carter accepted the honor with the best speech of the evening and pledged his support to the young Grand Master with heart and --- OSCAR S. FICKLIN, Stage Mgr soul to carry on the great work. Supreme Grand Queen S. A. Collins then closed the remarks of the evening with well chosen words that made all present feel happy and welcome, if they did appoint Daughter Ada Harris and Daughter Fannie Williams to break in her house. Little Willie Kelley made a good on the D. L. Martin Juveniles, of which he is Recorder. Those present were: Mrs. Mary Buckner, Mrs. J. A. Wheeler, Mrs. Venla Brown, Mrs. Sarah Jenkins, Miss Willie Kelley, Miss Annie Walker, Rev. B. W. Stewart, Mrs. Louisa Haycroft, Mrs. Annie Gibbs, Mrs. Bernetta Brown, Mrs. V. E. Finney, Mrs. Sophronia Gibbs, Miss Mattie Monrae, Mr. A. Gibbs, Mrs. Martha Pride, Mr. Anderson Russell, Grand Master Sir Fields, Mrs. Emma Boyd, Mr. H. C.

Harris, Mr. George L. Harris, Mr. George L. Harris, Mrs. Milly Coleman, Mrs. Mary Davidson, Mrs. Mary Miller, Miss Alma Haycroft and Mrs. S. A. Collins. MRS. MARIE LOUISE DEZERA BER ZEY DIES AT HER HOME ON SOUTH SECOND STREET. Mrs. Marie Louise Dezera Berzey, wife of Capt. William H. Berzey, died at her home, 1541 South Second street, last Friday at 8 p. m. She was of Indian ancestry and was born in Fort Pierre, S. D., in 1850. Her father was the renowned Edward Dezera, who was General Harney's celebrated Indian Interpreter, and her mother was the once famous Sonaka, a sister of Chief Red Cloud, who fought in fifty battles without relieving a wound. He died a few months ago. Mrs. Berzey was educated in St. Mark's German Lutheran School, of this city, and was accomplished both in music and art. Still she remained true to her native tongue, and at the time of her death could converse fluently in Sioux, German, French and English. She was married to Captain Berzey May 2, 1881, and unto this union seven children were born, five of whom survive her. All of her daughters were educated in the United States Indian School on Yonka Reservation and Genoa, Neb., where the remnants of her native tribe still survive. When the allotment for the Sloux Indians was made by the United States Government in 1892 Mrs. Berzey and her daughters each were awarded 160 acres of land. Her remains were taken to Yankton Reservation for burial last Monday. NATIONAL GRAND LODGE OF U. B. F. MET IN EXECUTIVE SESSION IN LOUISVILLE. The National Grand Lodge met in executive session in Louisville, Ky. Monday, June 3, to discuss matters of a very important nature. The Grand Master had suspended the following members: Hon. Wm. M. Farmer, the once famous Negro lawyer of St. Louis, but recently of Chicago, Ill.; W. F. Bledsoe and John F. Anderson, of Oklahoma. It was to confirm the action of the Grand Master in suspending these brothers that this session was called, and he was sustained by the unanimous vote of ten Grand Masters, which composed the Executive Committee. Up Again, but Far From Well. Mr. John Eckels, of 2624 Lawton avenue, who has been employed at the Westlille Post, Broadway and Market street, met with a serious accident several weeks ago and has been confined to his bed ever since. He is now able to be around. We hope for his early recovery. Mrs. A. Wilson, of 2117 Walnut street, has been quite ill for several weeks. She is convalescent at this writing. ST.

HARRY SCULLIN, PRESIDENT OF SCULLIN-GALLAGHER IRON AND STEEL COMPANY, A FRIEND TO THE NEGRO. The Scullin & Gallagher Iron & Steel Company, of 6700 Manchester avenue, stands foremost of all the manufacturing establishments in St. Louis, and especially with the Negro. In looking over the different establishments where hundreds of men are employed, we fail to find any one that employs a number of colored hands equal to that of Scullin & Gallagher, where there are 900 Negro men employed daily. Mr. Harry Scullin, son of Col. John S. Scullin, who is president of the company, and Mr. Gallagher, are regarded as friends of the Negro, and speak in the highest terms of the faithful service of them. We are thankful that some men are broad-minded and see through the vistas of time and recognize the fact that the Negro is in St. Louis and must have employment. The Negro employees are very grateful, in turn, and recognize in them true friends, and whenever such friends as these men are found among the Caucasian race the Negro should never fail to do them homage when the opportunity presents itself, for "a friend in need is a friend indeed," and these honorable men have certainly adhered to the old adage. Last week one of the reporters of the Palladium visited the iron and steel works, and Mr. Scollin was delighted to have him see through the plant and note the responsible work done by the Negro men, which the proprietors so highly appreciate. As they have prospered in the past and present, so may they prosper in the future, is the wish of the St. Louis Palladium for the Scullin & Gallagher Iron & Steel Company. All Saints' Choir. The choir at All Saints' Episcopal Church is now the finest in the city. Under the direction of Prof. J. Arthur Freeman it has reached a standard of excellence never heretofore attained by any singing body among our people in this community. The magnificent handling of the splendid organ at All Saints' by Prof. Henry L. Philips adds material to the excellent music rendered by the choir. The introduction of the juvenile choir, composed of thirty boys and girls, was the feature at evening service last Sunday. These young people have been in training under Prof. Freeman for the past two months, and their advent filled the church to its utmost capacity. The music rendered was of the highest order and showed plainly the thoroughness of their training. The juvenile choir will sing every Sunday evening, and the general public is cordially invited to hear it. Sunday, June 9, will be Flower Sunday. Under the auspices of the W. C. T. U. appropriate services will be held at 11 o'clock, and a sermon preached. Everyone will be welcome, and an invitation to bring flowers and fruit for the sick at Provident Hospital is hereby extended.

All roads seemed to center at Providence last Sunday. At 10 a. m. Rev. S. A. Løve delivered a very interesting discourse. At the conclusion of the morning service the entire congregation repaired to the chapel and dinner was served in abundance, and we are delighted to be able to report that everybody had a plenty. Upon the suggestion of the pastor, the visitors were served first, and the members of the church took special pains to make it pleasant for all. When the dinner was over all entered the main audience room while the organist sounded the opening prelude. Revs. Huggins and Keating entered the rostrum and conducted the devotions, after which the pastor introduced the following speakers: Rev. H. T. Thomas, of the Free Will Baptist Church, made our hearts glad with his pungent and apt Scripture quotations. Rev. D. H. Foston, of the Central Baptist Church, showed in a few well-chosen words that he is a man of deep thought, and he knows how to tell what he has in mind. Rev. N. Martin seemed to be the happiest speaker on the floor, and said he was surprised beyond measure at what he saw and heard of the new church. He said that the singing was the most heavenly he had ever heard. The ladies will also serve dinner again Sunday for the convenience of the members and friends. Rev. J. W. Crushon, of the Fifth Great Western Club Great Western Club FLOYD ROSS. Pres't. The Great Western club will give a grand evening excursion, on the magnificent steamer, City of Providence, Monday evening, June 10th.

He said he wished we had twenty-five more Baptist churches in St. Louis. Rev. I. A. Thornton, of Pleasant Green Baptist Church, stirred the church from pulpit to door and brought out many hearty amens. Prcf. A. W. Washington, of First Baptist Church, said he had always been a friend to the pastor and always felt at home in Providence. He said many good things. Rev. A. Dixon, of the Central Baptist Church, said it was his first visit, but he had heard much of the church and he was glad to meet them and would call again. Rev. W. S. Slatter was quite humorous in his remarks. He styled the pastor with the bugs the little boy had been stamping, the last of which had a stinges in his tail. Rev. W. L. Perry, M. D., of Chambers Street Baptist Church, preached for us at 8 p. m. His sermon was both logical ant spiritual. Dr. Perry is a thinker. Rev. R. H. C. Snyder was also with us at night and made the opening prayer and addressed the B. Y. P. U. Rev. Snyder has great faith in Providence. He gave us a very liberal donation in the rally.

Francisco Jose, who was born in 1788, is still alive and at work, and a good shot with the rifle, at Oporto, Portugal. He served in the Portuguese army, which in 1810 opposed the invasion of the French under Napoleon I. Authorities on the subject have estimated that only about 100,000 survivors of the civil war have not been pensioned. Of the men who actually served in that struggle it is estimated that 782,000 are living to-day, and that out of this number 675,000 are on the pension roll. Theodore N. Vail, who has been elected president of the American Telephone & Telegraph company of Boston at a salary of $100,000, has risen to his present position from a farmer boy. He was born in New Jersey 62 years ago, and in his youth worked on a farm in Iowa. Judge John V. Wright, of Tennessee, now an attorney in the general land office at Washington, who will be 80 years old in June, has been connected with public life for a greater period than any other living American. He is still as vigorous as a man of 60 and keeps up with the things of to-day without forgetting what has passed and gone. Prof. Todd is going to the Andes to look at Mars from a high elevation to see for himself whether it is inhabited. Suppose it is and a scientist on Mars is trying to communicate with us. What complications will arise if in Mars the people shake their heads when they mean yes and nod vigorously for no! Then there would be no common starting point for the scientists of the two planets. We sometimes see in the city papers much fun poked at the country press for its insignificant personal items. "How is this from the New York Tribune?" asks the Ohio State Journal: "August Belmont will dance to night at the Belmont clubhouse." This beats that local item in a rural contemporary: "Last night, Billy Jones, dressed up in his Sunday clothes, was going somewhere—where?" New Yorkers ate 500,000 bushels of oysters last season. A bushel averages 200 oysters, so that at least 100,000,000 oysters were eaten there between September 1, 1906, and the end of April. These figures mean 8,300,000 "stows" or as many "fries," if the oysters had been placed in that form on hotel, restaurant or family tables. But that would be only two meals of oysters in a winter for every man, woman and child in the greater city. Very few have ever seen the kaiser on foot, except on his yacht, the Hohenzollern. He always drives or rides. The reason for this would be more apparent than it is were it not that he wears very thick-soled boots. His real heights is five feet five inches, so he is thus among Europe's shortest monarchs. But that is not the only reason why he appears so seldom on foot. He is partially paralyzed down his left side, and his left arm is almost useless. That is why in all his photographs his left arm appears limp. Hainesworth Sisters HAIR GROWERS.

PEABODY Goes Into Detail of Numbers of Offenses Against the Law in Which He Participated—Paid by Miners' Officials. Boise, Idaho, Jun 6.—Alfred Horsley, alias Harry Orchard, the actual assassin of Frank Steuenenberg, went on the stand a witness against William D. Haywood and made public confession of a long chain of brutal, revolting crimes, done, he said, at the inspiration and for pay of the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners. An undertaking by the special prosecutors for the state that they would by later proof and connection legitimative his testimony opened the way like a flood gate to the whole diabolical story and throughout the entire day Orchard went on from crime recital to crime recital, each succeeding one seemingly more revolting than those that had come before. Is Treacherous to His Associates. Orchard confessed that, as a member of the mob that wrecked the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill in the Couer d'Alene, he lighted one of the fuses that carried fire to the giant explosion; confessed that he set the death trap in the Vindicator mine at Cripple Creek that blew out the lives of Supt. McCormick and Foreman Beck; confessed that because he had not been paid for his first attempt at violence in the Vindicator mine, he had been treacherous to his associates by warning the managers of the Florence & Cripple Creek railway that there was a plot to blow up their train; confessed that he cruelly fired three charges of buckshot into the body of Detective Lyte Gregory of Denver, killing him instantly, confessed that for days he stalked Gov. Peabody about Denver, awaiting a chance to kill him; confessed that he and Steve Adams set and discharged the mine under the depot at Independence that instantly killed four men, and confessed that failing in an attempt to poison Fred Bradley of San Francisco, he blew him and his house up with a bomb of gelatin. Crowd Watched with Staring Eyes. The story was told to a tense-nerved, rigid crowd that watched with staring eyes for every move and word of the confessing witness; a crowd that was sickened and weary of its disgusting details long before James H. Hawley, pleading illness of himself, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon secured adjournment for the day. Orchard's entry into the courtroom, after a dramatic pause, was itself intensely dramatic. Five witnesses who traced Horsley and Jack Simpkins at various times prior to the Steuenberg murder at Caldwell, Nampa and Silver City and further fixed their movements at identifying hotel registers where they had signed their names, consumed the first hour of the morning session, and then Senator Borah, looking toward the bench, said in a quiet tone: The chambers door swung open and out marched Orchard, led by Ras Beamer and followed by two penitentiary guards and two detectives, all armed. They walked him on the march around the rail and then faced the crowd while he climbed to the witness chair. Far in the room a man stood up to get a better view, and a deputy shouted "sit down." The other deputies instantly started forward and if the man had not taken his seat quickly they would have jumped for him. A woman inside the rail dropped her parasol. Its clatter drew the attention of the nervous crowd and the gun-fighting men who were there to shield Horsley until they understood what was happening. German-American Theatre Closes. Berlin—The German-American theatre here, the property of Paul and Adolff Philippe, who was devoted to the presentation of the plays portraying comically the adventures of German emigrants in America and stories of their success, has turned out a failure and was voluntarily closed, after four fairly successful years, the last of which was less fortunate than the others.

DESCRIBED BY THE WITNESS Was Asked to Kill Neville, Who Threatened Trouble, on the Same Trip—Others Had Failed on It. Bolse, Idaho—W. D. Haywood and Charles H. Moyer planned, ordered and paid for the murder of former Gov. Steunenberg. They hired at least five men to commit the crime, namely, Harry Orchard, Art Bascom, Steve Adams and two others, known as Minister and McCarthy. Such was the testimony given by Horsley, alias Orchard, before the jury that will decide Haywood's fate. Orchard positively admitted that he placed the bomb which killed Steunenberg. He said he was given $300 by Haywood to pay the expenses of the trip to Caldwell. The court overruled the defense's motion to strike out references in Orchard's testimony to the killing of claim jumpers. In Moyer's office in August, Witness Orchard swore, the former told him he had a big job for him to pull off. He told him he wanted him to go to Goldfield, Nev., and kill John Neville, who was operating a saloon there. He declared Moyer told him that if Neville did not get $1,200 he would tell about the explosion at the Independence depot. Sent After Steunenberg. About this time, Orchard continued, oMyer called Haywood and Pettibone into conference, telling them that the time had arrived when some effective outside work must be done. Haywood told Orchard thereupon that former Gov. Steuenberg must also be put out of the way, and said he had better do the jobs on the same trip. Orchard testified that four or five men had tried to kill Steuenberg and failed. He declared Haywood told him that after he got Steuenberg he would have letters written from Paterson, N. J., to Bell, Peabody, Goddard and others. Haywood, he said, described Steuenberg 'to him; told him he was a sheepman who drove into the country daily, and could easily be reached. He told Orchard he had sent Art Bascom, Edward Minister and Steve Adams, all of whom had tried to kill Steuenberg, but failed. Orchard swore Haywood said he wanted Steenberg killed as an example to all persons that the Western Federation never forgot nor forgave an injury, and that a lapse of years made no difference in its policy. Assassination of Steunenberg. At the afternoon session Orchard narrated the story of how he and Simpkins killed Gov. Steuenenberg. He said he talked with Pettibone before starting for Idaho. He said Pettibone helped him pack his trunk and went with him to the depot. The bomb that he had taken to and from Canon City was in the trunk. Orchard said he went to Canon City, got the bomb, returned to Denver and buried it in Pettibone's back yard. When he was ready to start for Idaho he dug it up. "Haywood gave me $240," said Orchard, "and had previously given me $40 more. Haywood and Pettibone and Moyer talked with me about the trip, and Moyer told me to get money when I wanted it from Haywood. I went to Salt Lake, stayed there four or five days and went from here to Nampa, Idaho. I stopped three days at the Commercial hotel. Then I went to Caldwell and stopped at the Pacific hotel. I registered under the name of Thomas Hogan." Four or five days were spent seeking Steunenberg, and the assassins went to Nampa. Orchard telephoned Steunenberg's home and learned their victim had returned. He told the Steunenberg home he would call up again. They returned to Caldwell, located Steunenberg and set a bomb at his gate. Celebrate Their Golden Wedding.

We have been publishing the Palladium for twenty-three years, and no man, woman, child, church or society can control us. We have seen one dozen Negro pears start, flourish and die, with some of the bontons as editors, publishers and managers. Such men as the Hon. W. M. Farmer, C. K. Robinson, Charles Dodge, J. D. Miller, J. M. M. Stokes, Prof. Agee, R. H. Cole, and twenty others. Still all of them are things of the past, while the Palladium stands as firm as the rock of Gibraltar. We have had our downcast hour, having passed through fearful church fights with great preachers, and struck right and left on everything that tends to lower the dignity of mankind in the Negro. We have fought the bad and indifferent Negro; have fought dancing halls, rounders and penitentiary convicts, and would-be leaders. We have broken up wildcat smelting companies, and sent many a bad Negro to jail, and still, through all of this, we are here today, doing what we can for the elevation of the Negro race, and don't give a ginger-snap for anything that is not in accordance with the laws of God and man. CENTRAL PROTECTIVE LEAGUE. The Central Protective League met last Sunday, June 2, and elected the following officers: G. L. Vaughn, President; R. L. Steward, Vice-President; G. W. Watts, Second Vice-President; R. H. Harris, Secretary; T. A. Moore, Assistant Secretary; J. W. Wheeler, Treasurer; B. F. Hamilton, Chaplain; S. W. Warfield, Sergeant-at-Arms; G. W. Boldren, Organizer; Advisory Board—Messrs. C. H. Tandy, T. A. Curtis, T. H. Brewer, Charles Turner, W. A. Davis, Ed Thomas and J. S. Scott. On mention of J. W. Wheeler, it was decided that C. H. Tandy install the officers at the next meeting, which will be held June 16 at 3 p. m. All are invited at Odd Fellows' Building, 2923 Morgan street. We trust that the time will come when Negro men and women who are guilty of crime will be set aside by the good and better class of Negroes. It seems nowadays that when men are charged with many heinous crimes such men are mobbed in the South. Our high officials in the church have them transferred from one conference to another or have Roosevelt appoint them to some office under the Federal Government. A bad Negro or white man are the same, wherever they may be put. We hope a hint to the wise is sufficient. Pickett's Number Nine (No. 9), For the Bowels and Liver.

Harry Denny, chairman, and the other gentlemen who were connected with the organization were surprised at the crowd which favored them, and they can well be pitched against all comers. Many of our best citizens were present, both ladies and gentlemen. With the records of Harry Denny, Willis Smith, Charles Blumfeld, Orange Bernaugh and S. P. McGinnis, they will be champions and bid defiance to all July 1, 1907, at their next outing. Watch and wait for that occasion. The results speak for themselves. The music was furnished by L. A. Copridge's famous band. See below names of some who were present: Mrs. McGinist was looking her best, while Mr. McGinist was taking in money at the bar. Mrs. Florence Wood and Miss Lula Garth, in company with Mrs. Charles Winston, of 711 Clarence avenue, were enjoying themselves to their heart's content. Mrs. Reddick is one lady above all who enjoys life, and we like to see people have a good time. Miss Hattie, her loving daughter, was greatly missed on account of her absence, which is unusual. Mrs. Larena Roberts was the center of attraction. She was in company with Mrs. Edith Edwards, and times resembled those of their childhood, when we were so astonished by the intelligent work of Miss Larena Keathley. She is now a dashing widow of a few months and is on the carpet. Mr. and Mrs. Lee, of 713 North Twenty-second street, enjoyed themselves to their heart's content. Mrs. Alexander, of 1625 South Second street, seemed to be going back and getting young again, like a number of the old men whose names we printed last week and this week.

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 butler. 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." this Life Yet Oldest Colored Men in Louis.

Knowledge That One Really Is Growing Old Always Comes as Something of a Shock—Politeness Overdone. There comes a period in every woman's life when the fact is forcibly brought to her notice that she is no longer young. The knowledge comes as a shock and in its train comes a thousand bitter thoughts until she learns to grit her teeth and accept the truth as gracefully as she may. Of course every woman is conscious that the years are passing. The surreptitious removal of a gray hair, the gradual acquiring of the habit of selecting quieter colors and giving up certain youthful pastimes—all these things are done quietly and almost unconsciously, so that she rarely appreciates the course whither she is tending until a rude blow brings it suddenly to her mind and she realizes that not only does she herself know her advancing age, but that it is becoming apparent to other people as well. This is indeed a blow. It is all very well to say that 40 is the halcyon age of woman—that she is reaching the height of her beauty and intellect. She is, no doubt. But the years after 40 until she reaches the age when young girls get up to give her a seat in the car are those in which she realizes she is aging. Young reader, has it ever occurred to you that in your polite effort to show respect to your elders you sometin es overstep the mark? The other day a charming woman entered a crowded street car accompanied by two girls, evidently friends, and about 16 or 18 years old. Their All Kinds of Materials Show the Prevailing Fashion. One tone striped material in satin and gauze, crepe de chine and chiffon, silk mousselline and marquisette and other combinations make modish A evening frocks, and the stripe idea is in evidence throughout the whole range of materials, though the Pekin stripes are less popular than they were last season, and the preference is given to one-tone stripings. Here is an especially successful model in toile de soie, which shows alternating three-inch stripes of white and light blue. The skirt is so plaited that Useful Article Designed for Memorandum Slips, Etc. A useful little article that can be made in spare moments is a case for memorandum slips. It is designed for containing unused half sheets of letters and other odd pieces of paper that are so useful for mems, and notes, and for which, if tidiness is to be regarded, a place must be found. The case represented in our sketch is intended for hanging on the wall by the side of a writing table or some other suitable place, and is made of two pieces of cardboard covered with material and edged with cord. There is a ribbon loop at the top by which it may be suspended from the wall, and a small tab is sown on in front into which a pencil can be slipped. At the top inside two pieces of tape are sewn, and the papers are fastened in by piercing a hole in them and then pushing the tapes through and tying Useful Sponge Bag. Not very decorative is the ordinary sponge bag in a plain or checkored waterproof material, so many housekeepers have ornamental outer coverings made. These should be of washable materials, either linen or crash, and can be worked with the words "Sponge Bag." done in plain black or in old English, with a little scroll effect underneath. This lettering can be done either in a double outline, filled in with a fine seeding, or cross stitch can be substi- companion was a woman at the height of life. She had not even reached the point where her friends (?) would begin to call her "well preserved." Light of carriage, very good looking, with a youthful figure, she might have passed for 35, although she was probably five or six years older. But in the eyes of her obsequious young friends her years apparently approached second childhood, judging by their respectful attentions to her. They not only helped her carefully into the car and into the only vacant seat, but they anxiously inquired if she was tired, insisted upon carrying her ridiculously small parcel and when the time came to get off waited in the street and helped her off the car by the arm. Now it may sound merely polite and the attention due to any woman older than themselves, but to the observer it was rude, absolutely rude! Certainly uncalled for. There is a gentleman of 86 who becomes much insulted when a too polite woman offers him her seat. He objects to being thought decrepit when he certainly is not feeble or lame. Just some such feeling, but a stronger one, dominates the woman whose dressmaker first dares to suggest that a certain fashion is too youthful for her patron. It is an unreasonable feeling, of course, but a natural one too. Now, one does not wish to discourage politeness and consideration from young people to their elders—both qualities are only too rare nowadays. But don't let them rub it in too hard on the sensitive soul of the older woman that she is beyond the point of appreciating or enjoying life. She will not say anything; probably she will assure herself that they are right and that she is too old, but it is a bitter reflection to think that one will soon be "on the shelf." around waist and hips it appears to be all blue, and upon the front of the skirt the box plaits are stitched down so far that the whole skirt front effect is light blue. At the sides, however, below the hips the plaits flare to show the broad white stripes. The decollette bodice is similarly treated as to stripes and there is a square yoke arrangement of openwork batiste embroidery, edged top and bottom with narrow white valenciennes lace. Short puffed sleeves are finished with double ruffles of the material. Wide Tucks Are Features. Wide tucks are especially distinguishing features, and particularly becoming to a tall figure. It is quite safe to say that "tucks and bands will be "in" throughout the summer, for they lend themselves so well to linens and other summer materials. It must be admitted, however, that there are other modes of trimming more adaptable to the frock and even the suit of silk. To return to the volles and the other fabrics to which our pretty silk costumes have been forced to give way in lieu of the unpleasant weather. The plain voile made over a figured, checked or striped silk has never really had a hold upon us until now. Now we have made up our minds to revel in them, and all manner of opportunities to exploit one's artistic sense of the fitness of things and to study harmony of colors is opened thereby. Embroidery Combinations. Handwork embroidery is, as it always is, at a premium, and the excessive vogue it has attained is responsible for a number of odd combinations of totally different classes of stitches and of some wonderfully clever combinations of lace, braiding, and hand embroidery. the ends together, and in this manner the papers can then be pulled away MEMOS one by one as they are required.

Make the bag from one long, straight piece, doubled and sewed to within three or four inches from the top. Turn over in a deep hem on each side, held by two rows of stitching for a casing, and run through it a cotton cord and tassel of the same color as the embroidery. Married life is usually one grand, sweet song, with the husband playing the accompaniment. MISSOURI CROPS VEGETATION GROWTH RETARDED DURING MAY BY COLD. FROST OCCURRED ON THE 26TH Fruit Crop a Failure—Corn Being Replanted—Forecast For June. Columbia, Mo.—The regular monthly statement on condition of crops for Missouri, issued by George B. Ellia, secretary state board of agriculture, is as follows: During the first 20 days of May the temperature was considerably below the normal throughout the state, causing slow growth of vegetation. About the 20th of the month the temperature increased, and for several days was above the normal, putting the soil in good condition, causing the farmers a good opportunity to plant their corn. Throughout the first half of the month there was an excessive precipitation over a large portion of the southern part of the state, but drought conditions prevailed in several counties in the northern part. The drought has been broken in the northeastern portion, but a few counties in the extreme northwest still report a deficiency of rainfall. Frosts occurred several times during the month, and some damage is reported from that cause. Frost was reported as late as the morning of the 26th in the northwestern counties. Corn. On May 1 36 per cent of the entire crop was planted in the southwest section; 74 per cent of the crop was planted, but on account of the cold weather and excessive rains a large portion of that planted up to May 1 rotted and had to be replanted. On May 31, the time of making up our present report, 79 per cent of the entire crop had been planted, the central section having the greatest amount of corn yet to plant, only 71 per cent of the crop being planted in that section, while in the northwest section 86 per cent of the entire crop was planted. The corn that was planted after the 15th of May is generally coming up to a good stand. The present condition for the entire state of what is planted is 74, which is an improvement of 3 points during the month. The highest condition is in the northwest, where it is 80, while the lowest is in the southwest, where it is only 69. Some fields are getting weedy, and the greatest need of the corn crop now is clear, warm weather. Wheat. The condition of the wheat crop has fallen off only 2 points during the month. There is an improvement of 2 points in the northeast and southwest sections, while the northwest shows a falling off of 1 point, the central 4 points and the southwest 7 points. The present average condition for the state is 80. The principal damage to wheat in the southeast section comes from army worms and plant lice. The greatest damage seems to have been in the counties bordering on the Mississippi river from the extreme southeastern portion, as far north as Jefferson, St. Louis and Franklin counties. The army worms are reported as far north as St. Francois county. In the southwest section the greatest damage has been done by the plant lice, a very heavy damage being reported from some of the largest wheat-producing counties, namely, Jasper, Newton, Lawrence, Greene, Dade and other adjoining counties in that section. A number of our correspondents report the lice less numerous in the wheat fields than several days ago, and with favorable weather from now on, perhaps but little more damage, will be done. The present average condition of the wheat crop for the entire state, with favorable weather from now on, is sufficient to produce a half crop of wheat Oats. The very cold weather during the month has not been favorable to the development of the oat crop, and the crop has made but little growth during the month. In neighborhoods where the plant lice have been on the wheat they are now found on the oats, and in some fields are doing considerable damage. The present condition of the oat crop is 75, exactly the same as it was one month ago. Warm weather, with frequent showers, would improve the condition of the crop materially during the present month. Fruits. The fruit crop, taken as a whole, is a practical failure. The average condition, as shown by all correspondents reporting, shows only 11 per cent of an apple crop, 8 per cent of a peach crop, 7 per cent of a cherry crop, 14 per cent of a plum crop, 46 per cent of a strawberry crop and 44 per cent for the grapes. The only apples and peaches of any consequence will be in orchards located on high ground and in unusually well protected localities. Forecasts For June. St. Louis—Hicks says that June is to be one of the stormiest months of recent years, and even more freakish than May or April—"phenomenal perturbations will reach some sort or crisis in earth and sky," is the way he puts it. The first storm period will extend from the 2d to the 7th, beginning with marked rise of temperature and falling barometer and culminating in severe thunderstorms, cloudbursts, hall and possible tornadoes in some sections of the country. Sunday School Lesson for June 9,1907 Specially Prepared for This Paper. LESSON TEXT.—Exodus 12:21-30. Memory verses, 26, 27. GOLDEN TEXT.—"When I see the blood, I will pass over you."—Exodus 12:13. NEW TESTAMENT REFERENCES.—New Testament references to passover: John 1:29; 6:33; 1 Cor. 5:8-3; Heb. 9:14; 11:28; 1 Peter 1:18, 19. TIME.—The plagues lasted nine or ten months, from June to the following April. The Passover, our first month of the Heavened year, Abb or Nisan, corresponding to the last of March and the first of April. The year (Ussher) was B. C. 1491; or about 1300 according to others. Professor Price makes it 1276. PLACE.—The meetings of Moses with Pharaoh were at the capital Zoan (Tanis), or at Egypts. The Passover was observed in the land of Geshen, in northeastern Egypt. THE PHARAOH was probably Menephta, son of the powerful monarch, Ramesses II. The monuments of Egypt refer to the death of a son of Menephta and ominous uprisings in 1276 B. C. Comment and Suggestive Thought. The Bible records fewer miracles than most men think. They are grouped in three great periods, each a critical epoch especially requiring divine interposition—the times of Moses, when the nation was to be delivered from bondage; the times of Elijah, when the authority of the prophetic order was to be established and the liberty of the people defended against the kings; the times of Christ, when the world was to be redeemed. We study in this lesson the first of these periods of miracles. The First Triad of Plagues.—Ex. 7:14; 8:19. The plagues group themselves in threes, gradually increasing in severity, for God gave Pharaoh every chance to repent. The first triad are plagues of loathsomeness, not inflicting actual pain or injury to life. Water into blood; frogs and lice. The Second Triad of Plagues—Ex. 8:20; 9:12. In this group of plagues the property of the Egyptians is involved as well as their persons; the land of Goshen, where the Hebrews dweit, is pointedly exempted from the visitations; and Moses no longer makes use of the rod, as if to show that no magic virtue resides in that piece of wood. Flies, murrain and boils. The Third Triad of Plagues—Ex. 9:13; 10:29. In this series of plagues "a new insect of awfulness now appears in the circumstance that the physical agency is no longer of local origination from within the land, but comes from the general system of the world; as if there now had been an invasion of Egypt on the part of the unseen universe beyond it. The rod is now resumed."—Macgregor. Hall; locusts, and darkness follow in ominous succession. The Last Plague; Death of the Firstborn—Exodus 11. Paraoh and his people had been given every opportunity to repent. Even the divine patience had ceased to endure their hard and cruel and deceitful hearts. The final and decisive plague was announced and described with accuracy; but before its actual infliction several days elapsed that the people of Israel might be prepared for the exodus. One important step was the asking (not "borrowing"—see R. V.) of jewels, the most easily carried form of wealth, from the Egyptians. It was only right that the Hebrews should have a little return for their long services, and what their masters gave them was far less than their due. The Institution of the Passover—Ex. 12:1-22, 43-50. While the Israelites, protected by the effect of the plagues were making preparations for their departure, they were also preparing for a great and beautiful ceremony, ordained by God, which should at the same time arouse their religious feeling, and bind them together more firmly as a nation. It extended from the fourteenth to the twenty-first day of the month Abib, afterwards called Nisan, corresponding nearly to the last half of March and the first half of April. Hebrew months began with the new moon, so that the Passover came always at the time best for traveling, the time of full moon. The religious year began at this time; the civil year began with the month Tisril, including the last of September and the first of October. "The Passover feast remains to this day an enduring memorial of the exodus, inexplicable except as the commemoration of a historical fact, and testifying by its name to the nature of the fact commemorated."—Rawlinson. Taken up into the Lord's Supper, it is celebrated all over the world wherever Christians as well as Jews are found. The awful stroke fell at midnight, and immediately the entire land was filled with bitter anguish and with terror. Pharaoh, whose own boy lay dead, the heir to his throne, could not wait for morning, but sent in the night, praying the Hebrews to be gone, and making no conditions. Lesson of the Passover. If the lesson of the plagues is a mighty warning, that of the Passover is an abiding comfort and confidence God, it teaches us, is round about his people, and no harm can befall those that trust in him. One of the most wonderful proofs of Christianity is the exact parallelism between this crowning event of the Old Testament, the Passover, and the crowning event of the New Testament, the sacrifice upon Calvary of the Lamb of God.

Over $100,000 has already been sent from America to relieve the famine sufferers in China. "The paralyzing fact about this famine," says the Christian Herald, which has been so active in collecting relief funds, "is its duration and its geological extent. The worst is not yet. Five months of utter want is the lot of a third of the inhabitants of an area almost as large as the state of New York. ```markdown ``` Thus far the deaths from starvation have been comparatively few—only a matter of a few thousand at the outside estimate. Most of these have been complicated by disease or cold. From the standpoint of the native, the mortality has not been great. The grim reaper's greatest harvest is still to come." Writing from one of the great famine camps, a correspondent of the North China Herald says that some of those who die of starvation are so emaciated that the ribs literally protrude through the skin, which is cracked, and the body is practically dehydess. Of the multitudes congregated in these camps, a very large proportion have been either compelled or persuaded to return to the villages whence they came, and there the final tragedy must be worked out. Those who remain are housed in mat hats, closely packed together. The government dole of 30 cash (two cents) per diem is distributed by officials, who are continually passing in and through the crowds with wheel-borrows laden with small copper coins. As soon as the distribution is made the people swarm out to the grain market, where the rice, millet, corn and other foodstuffs supplied by the Shanghai relief committee are sold at the lowest possible figure. Every speck of grain is watched specially with hungry, wolfish eyes it spill on the ground and be lost. Student Recruits Movement. New French Bible There has recently been put upon the market in France a new translation of the Bible "par l'Abbe N. Crampon. Edition revisee par des Peres a de Cie de Jesus." The publishers are the well-known firm, Lefebvre et Cie who are the pope's own printers in Paris. The work, revised, as will be seen, by the Jesuits, was put upon sale simultaneously in Paris, Rome and Tournay. One bookseller in Paris in the first few days disposed of 10,000 copies. The version is so thoroughly satisfactory that the French Protestants accept the volume with eagerness. Extending Railroad Work. The progressive men of the railway department of the Young Men's Christian association are turning their attention to the needs of the men employed on electric railways. At Echeloche, N. Y., and in several Southern states local associations have been formed and work begun. Every man who is disposed to be decent, whether he be Jew or Gentile, and has a belief in religious things or otherwise, is welcome to membership. Mission Day Conference. At a meeting of representatives from Woman's Home Missionary societies of several denominations recently held in New York city, it was decided to institute interdenominational home mission conferences at Northfield, Mass., and probably one point in the middle West, for the first year. The committee contemplates nearly conferences at several points eventually. Dr. Withrow Honored. Rev. Dr. John L.

Wise—I see you, for instance. With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-walst 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. Waste. "Hear about somebody scattering snuff in the house at Harrisburg?" "No; but it was a waste of material." "How's that?" "Why, only one or two of the fellows up there need to take snuff to make the whole crowd sneeze."—Philadelphia Ledger. 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. HER TOKEN OF THE PAST. Husband Still Here, But Hair Had Long Departed. A western man, who plumes himself on his fascination for the other sex, was not long ago presented to an attractive New York woman. In course of their first tete-a-tete the man with winning ways at once took occasion to turn the conversation into his favorite channel. "I observe that you are wearing an especially fine locket," said he. "Tell me, does it contain some token of a past love affair?" Aware of the westerner's weakness, the handsome New Yorker thought to humor him a bit. "Yes," smiled she. "it does contain a token of the past, a lock of my husband's hair." "You don't mean to tell me that you're a widow!" exclaimed the westerner, in delighted surprise, as he nudged a trifle nearer. "I understood that your husband was alive." "True," answered the beautiful creature; "but his hair is gone."—Sunday Magazine. HOW HE BROKE A RECORD. Took Last Jump from Forgotten Rubber Home Plate. Billy Powell, greatest hurdler the west has produced, was referring to his college days on the Berkeley track. "There were five in the race. I drew the extreme outside lane, which gave me a bad finish stretch. But I got a peach of a start, swept the curve like a yacht on her beam ends and came down the straight taking the jumps in beautiful style. I felt I had a varsity record in me at that clip, and I threw all my power into the final strides. Springing for the ninth hurdle I fairly flew through the air, and, dashing to the finish, broke the tape, the world's record for the low hurdles, for the 220-dash, and for the running broad jump, the time being 21 flat, and my last jump over two hurdles at once, clearing 43 feet and some inches. "Whew!" exclaimed Olle Snedigar, "why weren't the records ever allowed?" "Well," continued Powell, "when they went to measure that leap, Col. Edwards started to shove his cane in, to indicate my foremost spike mark, and the stick jumped out of his hand. They scraped the short grass away and found a solid rubber home plate imbedded where the varsity battery used to practice."—San Francisco Chronicle. CHILDREN SHOWED IT Effect of Their Warm Drink in the Morning. "A year ago I was a wreck from coffee drinking and was on the point of giving up my position in the school room because of nervousness. "I was telling a friend about it and she said, 'We drink nothing at meal time but Postum Food Coffee, and it is such a comfort to have something we can enjoy drinking with the children.' "I was astonished that she would allow the children to drink any kind of coffee, but she said Postum was the most healthful drink in the world for children as well as for older ones, and that the condition of both the children and adults showed that to be a fact. "My first trial was a failure. The cook boiled it four or five minutes and it tasted so flat that I was in despair but determined to give it one more trial. This time we followed the directions and boiled it fifteen minutes after the boiling began. It was a decided success and I was completely won by its rich delicious flavour. In a short time I noticed a decided improvement in my condition and kept growing better and better mouth after month, until now I am perfectly healthy, and do my work in the school room with ease and pleasure. I would not return to the nerve-destroying regular coffee for any money." "There's a Reason." Read the famous little "Health Classic," "The Road to Wellyville," in pkgs.

In 1885 there was a great celebration in London in honor of Dr. Samuel Johnson, and among those in attendance was the Australian "crack" cricketer, Bonner, then at the height of his fame. As one of the guests, says the compiler of the recently published "Letters" of the late Dr. George Birkbeck Hill, Bonner's health was proposed. His response was noteworthy. "After seeing the way in which Dr. Johnson's memory is revered," he said, with great simplicity, "I am not sure that I would not rather have been such a man than have gained my own greatest triumphs in cricket."—Youth's Companion. SORES AS BIG AS PENNIES. Whole Head and Neck Covered—Hair All Came Out—Cured in Three Weeks by Cuticura. "After having the measles my whole head and neck were covered with scaly sores about as large as a penny. They were just as thick as they could be. My hair all came out. I let the trouble run along, taking the doctor's blood remedies and rubbing on salve, but it did not seem to get any better. It stayed that way for about six months; then I got a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about a week I noticed a big difference, and in three weeks it was well entirely and I have not had the trouble any more, and as this was seven years ago, I consider myself cured. Mrs. Henry Porter, Albion, Neb., Aug. 25, 1906." Fine-Looking Royal Couple. The king and queen of Denmark are indeed a regal-looking couple. King Frederick is a giant in stature, while his consort is the tallest royal woman in Europe. She is also the richest, having inherited a great deal of property from her father, the late King Charles of Sweden, besides the immense fortune of her mother, who was one of the richest heiresses of the nineteenth century. Her majesty is deeply religious. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. Monopolizing Them. Miss Passay—Many young girls nowadays are positively awful. The idea of one being engaged to two young men at the same time. It's simply shameful!

Indications point to a large attendance of teachers anxious to raise grades, increase salaries, make points for diplomas, and progress in many ways. On Monday morning, immediately after devotional exercises, the members of the Junior Class, in the presence of the school assembled, presented their well beloved elader, Dr. Allen, with a lifesize portrait of himself, painted by one of their members, Grant Tayes, from sittings given by Dr. Allen. The affair was a perfect ovation from beginning to end. The excellent presentation speech was made by Prof. Moten, and to this Dr. Allen responded in an eloquent speech that showed his deep appreciation of the motives that prompted the act and the act itself. The beautiful frame that encased the picture was the gift of members of the faculty. Tayes, a member of the art class, possesses considerable talent, and leading bookstores of Jefferson City have on several occasions exhibited his paintings, and crowds have gathered to discuss their merit.
