St. Louis Palladium

ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM Vol. XXIII. No. 42. Is Now [Picture of a woman with a high hairstyle, wearing a white dress with lace details]. MRS. ARLIVIA C. WATSON, Worthy Princess of the State of Missouri S. M. T. MRS. ARLIVIA C. WATSON, Worthy Princess of the State of Missouri S. M. T. St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 28.—Mrs. Harriet Hamilton was born in Eolla, Pike county, Missouri, in the year 1858. Died in St. Louis, Mo., at 10:30 on the morning of Sept. 27, 1907. She was 49 years 4 months 22 days old at her death. She leaves one daughter, two sisters, three nieces, six nephews and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn her loss. She was converted and baptised in the Baptist Church when quite a girl by Rev. D. B. Clark. She lived a good Christian life up to the time of her death. On Wednesday morning she called her sister to her bedside and told her she had to leave her. She told her sister that she did not know, but God knew what was best. She called the Lord's name continually up to the time of her unconsciousness. Sunday morning she called her relatives to her bedside and began singing, "Walk in the Light, Beautiful Light." She lead the song with a strong voice and when finished lay back contented. Elder Stevens called to see her on Thursday evening and asked her if she loved Jesus? She awoke and said, "Yes." Father Mason also had religious conversation with her. She also spoke often of our former pastors, Rev. J. G. Hays and Elder Cohran. When she first came to St. Louis she attended this church (Central Baptist), but in later years, on account of her infirmities, she was disabled and could not board the cars so well, she attended Lane's Chapel, a Methodist church on Fairfax avenue. It was within walking distance and she said she wanted to be in God's house. We have known Mrs. Hamilton for many years and have always found in her one of the most noble, generous persons that we have ever met; always full of life. We notice very minutely the love and affection that exists between mother and daughter. The loss of Mrs. Hamilton is indeed sad to her daughter Estella. We will all miss her, but none so much as that daughter. We realize that the name of Jesus is most potent on earth to call upon. Then comes the name of the mother, Oh, mother! the saddest of all words to a lonely daughter. We can but recommend her to the God of Heaven, that she may meet that mother in the Heaven of Heavens. CARD OF THANKS. Miss Estella Hamilton of 4127 Fairfax avenue takes this method of testifying to her many friends and neighbors for their many kindness and sympathy shown her in her mother's illness and death of my dear mother, for they were so ready to render every aid and comfort, and to those who presented the splendid floral designs to me and my loving and good mother I tender to them my thanks. CENTRAL PROTECTIVE LEAGUE. The Central Protective League will give a grand debate at the Odd Fellows' Hall, 2923 Morgan street, Sunday afternoon, from 2:30 to 4:30. There will be a number of the best speakers of St. Louis, among them W. C. Gordon and Mrs. Ollie Steward. Their subjects will be, "What Political Effect Has Roosevelt on the Negro of Missouri?" Mrs. E. L. Cunningham will be master of ceremonies. Keokuk, Ia., Oct. 2.—To the Honorable City Editor of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: My Dear Sir—Knowing the splendid rate of your valuable paper for truth and veracity, I am confident you will gladly correct a report which is wholly misleading and calculated to create in the public mind a suspicion as to the "common sense" and honor of the Negroes of the Gate City of Iowa. Said report appeared in the publication of your paper under date of Oct. 1, on the face of same and in the seventh column under the caption, "Negroes Want Place." The article states that the "Colored Baptists of Keokuk want the president to know that the Rev. T. L. Phillips in no way reflected the views of the Africans of Keokuk." As a Baptist preacher and pastor of the First Colored Baptist Church, planted in Iowa soil, I wish to inform the public that the Negro Baptists of Keokuk, excepting two or three, had absolutely nothing to do with the purchase nor the presentation of that cane to the president, and if he knew what a hard time the few Negroes had finding the money to make the purchase, he would no doubt return the "hard gotten" gift to the "minimum class," who so grossly misrepresented the sentiment of the Keokuk Negroes. Respectfully. WILLIAM D. VENERABLE. STILL THEY GO IN BUSINESS. Mosby Is O. K. It is a pleasure to announce the opening of a new business known as "Little Pekin," the only Negro nickelodeon in the city, at 102 North Jefferson avenue. The young business Negro is pushing to the front, and now is the time for the Negro to patronize Negro men that are putting out their money for the advancement of the Negro. Mr. Mosby is the first to make this bold advance, as the Nickelodeon. We ask that every Negro who can will come and see these innocent pictures that will elevate the Negro so he may employ other Negroes. H. J. Sigman, watches and jewelry. A complete line of diamonds, clocks and optical goods. We do expert repairing. Remember the number, 2125 Market. 3311 OLIVE STREET. Oh, yes, we were at the Star skating rink. Had a barrel of fun watching the hurdle race, the amateur race and professional race. Miss Minnie Taylor was the most graceful lady skater. Miss Julia Johnson won the amateur race, and is also a very graceful skater. Miss Donzella White was good, as were many more. But now we come to Mr. Robert Mitchell, better known as the kildee. What we say we mean. Mr. Mitchell moves around the rink as graceful and smooth as an eel. He is really one of the attractions of the rink. The manager of the rink should get the names so that we could mention them each week. Wait for the Palladium next week. Oh, yes, the Palladium is the only living Negro paper, friend and foe. Black and white read the Palladium. - ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1907. Just Opened. CITY NEWS.

Martin of 3957 Fairfax avenue has returned from Wequetonsing Mich., where she has been for the past six weeks. She is looking well. You'll make no mistake if you buy at Robt. P. Fritchle, Jeweler. Diamonds, watches, etc. 2716 Lacede avenue. Bell, Bomont 1005; Kinloch, Central 4553. Miss Nettie White, the daughter of Mrs. Martin White of 3957 Fairfax avenue, has just returned from Wequetinsing, Mich. She was there about three months, and is looking quite happy. Miss Hazel K. Wilkinson an Miss Ethel Hedgman left on Sept. 27 for Howard University and arrived on the 29th. They were met and welcomed by teh many students of that institute. Brooks' Rink is all O. K.; the attraction is great; dancing and skating is grand; at the same time the music is splendid, and the best of order is kept. So if you want to spend your evening pleasantly go to 2120 Market street—the rink. A. A. Brooks, Proprietor. Silver Star Household No. 2808, G. U. O. of O. F., will celebrate their first anniversary with a moving picture exhibit Thursday evening. Oct. 24, at their hall, 3719 Cass avenue. Admission 10c. Miss Nettie Wilson, M. N. G.; Miss Minnie Ross, secretary; Mrs. Susie Birch, chairman. Mrs. Pitts was one of the good members of St. Paul's Chapel. I knew her many years ago, when I was a good member like her. She leaves a husband and several daughters to mourn her loss. She was buried Sept. 24. As she lived she died, and I know that she is now basking in the sunlight of our God. Miss Carrie King, a business young woman of 1916 Chestnut street, was very pleasantly surprised a few evenings ago with a serenade on a graphophone by the society young men, namely, Messrs. Harry Kays, Willie Whitehead and Hamilton Harris. A very pleasant evening was spent. Miss King is a progressive hair dresser. The Nickelodeon at 102 North Jefferson avenue is as good as there is in the city. Remember that many of the odeans that are kept by white men want the Negroes to set in one part of the house and not mix up with the white people. Now that you have one of those places that is conducted by Negro men, go and take your children. Sam the Tailor has moved at last. He is now at 1322 Olive street, in full blast. Don't forget the place. He would be pleased to meet his many patrons, that he may clothe you for the fall and winter. He acknowledges that the Negroes are his best customers, and he gives you the worth of your money. Next week we will have a full description of his new place. There will be a grand Harvest Home Festival celebration held at Central Baptist Church, Twenty-third and Morgan streets, Sunday, October 6, 1907. A special musical program has been prepared for both morning and evening services. Also a special sermon which will be delivered by the able pastor, Rev. Geo. E. Stevens. The church will be beautifully decorated, suggestive of harvest and autumn. A special rally will be going on all day. All cordially invited to be with us on Sunday, October 6. Conference will convene in St. Paul's Chapel Wednesday morning, Oct. 9, at 10 o'clock a. m. All ministers are expected to be in their seats. Bishop Grant, will preside. The question isn't can you, but will you, spend just 3 minutes of your leisure time; one to read and two to consider a proposition that no other Roller Rink, dance hall or place of amusement for colored people makes, except the Star Roller Rink We claim to be able to serve you better and give you more real pleasure than you can possibly get anywhere else for the same monew. Now we either can or cannot do it. If we can, your gain in pleasure will be equal, if not more than ours, and if we can't, it isn't going to cose you a cent to find it out. We know what we can do. All we want is a chance to prove it. Not at your expense, but ours. We are very anxious to secure your patronage, and with the hope of getting you as one of our regular attendants we are going to make you an unusual proposition, such as no other roller rink, dance hall or place of amusement for Colored dare make, except the Star Roller Rink, 331-13 Olive street. Now we don't ask you to spend your money at the Star Roller Rink simply because we say it will pay you better than any other place of its kind. We don't ask you to spend your money at the tSar Roller Rink because you think it will pay you best to do so; but we feel quite sure that you will willingly spend all the money that you have to spend in that way at the Star Roller Rink, as soon as you know positively that it will pay you best to do so. The skating rink business isn't a gambling scheme, nor confidence game with us. It is a gilt-edged money-making proposition, and all we want is a chance to prove it. That's all. All we want you to do is to pay the Star a visit, and see and know for yourself. You don't have to dance nor skate you don't want to, but you will do me a favor as advertising manager by going up to the proprietors and telling them face to face just what you really think of the Star Roller Rink as a place for dancing and skating, for Colored people, by Colored business men, and if you can produce sufficient evidence to prove to them and any other gentleman of a rational mind and of good, logical understanding that the Star Roller Rink, at 3311 Olive street, isn't far superior in every way to any place of its kind for Colored people in the West, he will cheerfully hand you every cent that you and all your friends have spent during the evening, and $5 in cash and a ticket that will admit you free of all charges during the entire season. Can you beat this? Do you want a better proposition? I don't think so. The Star Roller Rink is undoubtedly the most familiar and best-known place of its kind catering to first-class people who like sweet music, and the best place to enjoy the sweet music while dancing and skating. But never mind that. It amounts to nothing to you if you don't kno wit. And if you never have visited the Star yourself, you can't possibly know how much better it is for such enjoyment. And if you have visited the Star, you can say truthfully that it is the most, if not the only, first-class place for first-class people in the city. You know it to have the finest floor, the best illuminated, the best located, the best ventilated, and, in fact, the largest and best hall for dancing or skating in the city. Now I hope you will pardon me for talking so enthusiastically about the Star, but I just can't help it. And if you could only be present once at our Tuesday night balls and our prize racing contest every Thursday night, and see our potato race, canal race and ladies' race by nearly 200 ladies and gentlemen, you could understand immediately why I can speak so boastingly of the Star. Hoping that you will think favorably of this unequaled proposition and get wise and come to the Star, I am Respectfully yours, THE ADVERTISING MANAGER.

A great day at Pilgrim Baptist Church Sunday. The entire membership of Providence will turn out in full force. Greeting are pouring in from all parts of the city and from all denominations. In a few months Pilgrim will swing clear of debt for the first time in her history, after which substantial improvements will be made. All pastors and their churches are cordially invited to be present Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock; also each night next week. If you have no money to give, come and speak a word of cheer and you will greatly encourage a struggling people. The city is rapidly improving the streets in the vicinity of Pilgrim and when finished, it will be the most modern and beautiful part of St. Louis. We hope the pastors of the city will urge their churches to attend as many of our meetings as possible during the week. All persons desiring to attend can transfer from Chouteau, Laclede, Olive, Washington, Welston and Wash street cars to O'Fallon cars on Sarah street and go north to Kossuth and walk one block west, or transfer downtown to Lee avenue cars and go off at Pansey avenue (4200 west) and one block south.

An elaborate literary and musical program has been prepared also lectures and tests. A grand feast of good things. All are cordially invited. Spiritual offerings.

At midnight sharp last Monday the celebrated African Prophet made his appearance at True Reformers' Hall by invitation of the Great Western Club. The occasion was a memorable one to all who witnessed his advent. Magnificently appeared and brilliant with sparkling jewels, he elicited the applause of the immense contourse of ladies and gentlemen, assembled to do him honor. Miss Katie Murphy was crowned queen of the east and presented with the handsome gold medal of the club and $5 in gold. Miss Sarah Brown, second in the contest, was the recipient of three golden dollars. The prophet, with the queen on his arm, headed the grand march, followed by an almost interminable line of handsomely garbed couples. Suddenly the electric lights were extinguished, only to immediately resume their wonted brilliancy, but the great prophet had vanished from the sight of man, to be seen no more until his next annual visitation, when he will come again more resplendent and gorgeous than ever before. THE LITTLE DIAMOND RESTAURANT AROUND THE CORNER. Mrs. S. E. Moore of 2713 Laclede avenue is now conducting the Little Diamond Restaurant at 2713 Laclede avenue. It is an acknowledged fact that the place under Miss Taylor's care was the place where hungry men were made glad. Under Mrs. S. E. Moore the restaurant has kept that good name in feeding the public and making glad the hearts of the many ministers that have found home cooking so dear. So we entreat the many ministers and the public in general who will attend the conference, which will convene next week at Paul's church, to go to this place and we will assure you that Mrs. Moore will make it pleasant for you, for she has all the good things that will make a hungry man smile. RETURNED IN GOOD HEALTH. Mrs. T. L. Gentry of 1269 Delaware avenue left on the 20th of August for Indianapolis, Ind., and spent several days there. From there she went to Lexington, Ky., to attend the Negro State Fair, which was something new to her. She speaks in the highest terms of myold home, Lexington. She says the fair was a grand success in every particular. After spending several days, she returned by the way of Cincinnati, O., arriving here about Sept. 22. Her 22 days' traveling and change of climate has added much to her looks and health, as she is the picture of health. We know that Mrs. Gentry had a good time in the Blue Grass state, Old Kentucky.

ADDRESSES AUDIENCE OF 9000 Men and Women in Jai Alai Cheer as He Declares the Deepwater Way a Nationa! Affair— Goes After Trusts. ‘St. Louis, Oct. 2.—His hair wet and disarranged, and his collar and necktie soaked by the rain which beat on him during his five-mile drive in an open carriage, President Roosevelt spoke to an audience of 9,000, more than half of them women, in the Jai Alai build- ing Wednesday. ‘The president declared it the na- tion’s duty to restore the Mississippi river to its proper place as a great artery of commerce, and termed the proposeG deep channel to the gulf “a national task.” He warned against plans which might “entail reckless ex- travagance or be tainted with job- bery.” He foliowed with the statement that the Panama canal would be dug within five or six years more, and with the declaration that the United States needs a “great fighting navy.” President Roosevelt in his speech reaffirmed his belief that the Missis- sippi river was soon to resume its place as one of the nation’s great ar- terles of commerce of the country. He declared it the nation’s duty to do its share in making a channel which will accommodate the ‘raft, and in building the levees to protect it and the lands through which the river flows: He said that our world position de- manded that we maintain a great fight- ing navy, our present one being ele- mentary. ‘The president closed his address with a strong plea for an interpreta- tion of the constitution along lines de- manded by the present condition of industrial centralization. He upheld the right of the nation to control not only interstate railways, but corpora- tions engaging in interstate business. ‘This he declared to be the greatest economic question of the times. He contended this control was not the province of the individual states. Goes After the Trusts. He then gave more than half of the 4,500 words of his address to the trust question, or, as he termed it, the problem of regulating interstates business. Of the constitution and the govern- ment’s powers over interstate busi- ness, the president said: “I believe that the nation has the whole governmental power over inter- state commerce and the widest dis- cretion in dealing with that” subject; ‘of course under the express limits prescribed in the constitution for the exercise of all powers, such for in- stance as the condition that ‘due pro- cess of law’ shall not be denied. The nation has no direct power over the purely intrastate commerce, even where it 1s conducted by the same agencies which conduct interstate commerce.” The president and the eécort of governors and St. Louis citizens rode from the levee'to the Jai Alai building through a, rain which commenced a few minutes after the arrival of the presidential flagship Mississippi at the whart. Bares His Head in the Rain. The governors put up the tops of their carriages, but the president would not have the top of his car. riage, the first in the Iine raised. He stood in the carriage, his collar un- protected by his raincoat, and let the rain fall alternately on his silk hat and on his head, which he repeatedly bared as the throng along the route cheered him. Goy, Folk, in introducing the presi- deut, joked about the drenching the parade got, and then ‘n seriousness turned to President Roosevelt, of whom he spoke as the ideal executive, a man whose principles result im obed- jence to the laws and in equal rights to all. “I introduce to you,” he said, in con- clusion, “President Roosevelt, patriot, American and man.” After the speech the president start- ed on his drive to Hotel Jefferson, the place selected for the luncheon in his honor ahd that of the visiting govern- ors. The plan for the banquet provided for no speeches by anyone. ‘The president's departure by the river, at the foot of Olive street, took place at 3 p. m., following a ride along Washington avenue, Broadway and Pine street to the levee.

THE HARRIMAN MEN RETREAT Railroad Men Vote Resolutions Gon- demning Directors Who Loan Themselves Money Hartford, Conn.—At the meeting of the local stockholders of the Illinois Central Railroad Company held here, it was unanimously voted to have all the proxies of the stockholders pres- ent turned over to Charles M. Beach of this city, who is a director of the Illinois Central and a supporter of Stuyvesant Fish in the fight with the Harriman interests. Those who had sent their proxies to Mr. Harriman will cancel them. ‘The stockholders represented over 8,000 shares. The meeting was over- whelmingly anti-Harriman, Besides voting on the depositing of proxies, the meeting adopted the following res- lutions: “Whereas, The present controversy in the management of the Illinois Cen- tral railroad has brought to the know!- edge of the stockholders the fact that the board of directors has delegated its powers in intervals to an execu- tive committee of their number, which in turn has conferred the same abst- lute power upon their chairman, which we believe to be a grave danger to the interests of the corporation and of its stockholders, and Directors Scored. “Whereas, The fact has become known that by this concentration of authority the officers have been able to make large loans to themselves on such securities and terms as they themselves deem sufficient and are the sole judge. And, as it is also evi- dent that under this present system it 1s possible for any individual delegat- ed with these powers to make in his own interests this railroad and its business subordinate and contributory ‘to other roads in which he may have a greater personal interest, an “Therefore, We, stockholders of the IMinois Central’ railroad, _ protest against this improper and hazardous practice, and we request the board of @irectors to take such action as will prevent these evils in the future.” §.

"Men whom the lust of office can not kill, Men whom the spoils of office will not buy, Men who have opinions and a will, Men who have honor, men who will not lie." A political lie is the devil's own child. When men will lie to get your vote, then don't know you after they get it, should be set aside. A man who teaches morality and tells Negro men how to raise their families, he himself ought to possess some guarantee that he is moral himself. The astuteness of Mr. Chas. Turner in political matters was clearly demonstrated at the meeting of the Republican State Committee, held in this city on September 12. Mr. Turner, aware of the important action to be taken at that meeting, in that the resignation of the chairman, Mr. Niedringhaus, was to be presented, and in all probability a successor to him elected, he obtained the proxy of an out-of-town member of the committee, and was thus in a position to cast what afterward proved to be the deciding vote in the reorganization of the State Committee and the election of Mr. Walter S. Dickey as chairman. A strong effort was made by Mr. Akin, Ben Russell, E. B. Allen, Otto Sifel and other Federal employees and sympathizers to prevent his sitting in the meeting, but their efforts were in vain, and Mr. Turner had the pleasure of deciding the election of Mr. Dickey to the important position of Chairman of the Republican State Committee of Missouri. Mr. Turner's friends are proud of his action, and heartily applaud both the deed and the spirit of interest in the party which prompted it, and sincerely commend him for his loyalty to his friends and party. It is no reflection upon his predecessor to say that we expect him to be the ablest chairman of the State Committee that the pary has had in years, and we hereby pledge him our heartiest support.

Mrs. Mattie Morris of 2018 Chestnut street, is quite poorly in health. One consolation, she has the support of her dutiful daughter, Mrs. Emma Brown, who is very attentive to her. We trust that God will bless all such daughters that are dutiful to their aged parents. We knew the family for many years. Her son, Frank Morris, was just as attentive to his dear mother when he was living, and her husband, Mr. Morris. Miss Lucy White, the leading lady of the Morris & Rowe circus the past summer, is now in St. Louis. She is looking well. 4 years ago my hair was only a finger-length, and my temples were bald half way covered my shoulders.

The proof of our work is that we are being imitated, and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown, and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to get a haircut, go to our salon, or just as good as "PORO".

Lincoln _ Institute opened for the enrollment of students and organization of classes Tuesday morning, Sept. 3, while the first facul- ty meeting of the year was called for Monday, Sept. 1. ‘The first day's enrollmeat was the largest in the history of the school, and now at the close of the first: month 400 students have enrolled. Dr. Allen, president, certainly mer- its the high commendation which he receives locally and from all parts of the country for the enthusiasm, en- best ventilated and the most artistic-, ally decorated place of amusement for Colored people west of the Mississippi River.

Graduates of the school who desire to teach are always in demand for high-grade literary and industrial posi- tions. Graduates who wish to pursue advanced courses of study elsewhere find no difficulty in securing credit for work done here. . To illustrate, Miss Josephine Yates, who graduated from the senior normal course last June at the age of 16, received on the morning of graduation official notice from Kansas university, one of the rankest universities of the coun- try, that the transcript of her studies and marks from Lincoln Institute would give her freshman credit in the university without any conditions whatsoever. Later the committee on advanced credits in Kansas University decided that Miss Yates would be al- lowed to graduate in three and_a half years from date of entrance, Vecause of the amount of professional work she had done in President Allen's de- partment in psychology and philoso- phy.

Springfield—Sheriff Sims has discharged nearly all of the special deputies sworn in a few nights ago to guard the county jail while there were rumors of mob violence and an uprising against the negroes. The authorities do not believe trouble will ensue. The better class of negro population has called a mass meeting to pledge support by resolutions to the authorities in the work of ridding the town of lawless blacks. At the same time the negroes will ask that white vagrants be treated the same as the negro evil-doers. Snake that Pret's Deputies. St. Louis—Deputies Constable William Barth and William Canty of Justice Spalding's court, are much worried over the outcome of a case pending in the court regarding snakes. If the plaintiff wins the suit the constables will be required to remove several reptiles from a house on Olive street, near Twenty-first street, and deliver them to the defendant.

The plain of the Jordan on the east side, at the foot of the Moabite mountains, opposite Jericho. Comment and Suggestive Thought. Joshua, the New Leader.—His Name, originally Hoshea, the same as the prophet Hosea, signifying "salvation" or "help." To this was added afterwards (Num. 13: 16) "Je" for Jehovah, and the name became Jehosha, "Jehovah is salvation," shortened to Joshua, then modified in Neh. 8: 17 to Joshua, from which came its Greek form in the Septuagint, Jesus, Jesus, of whom Joshua was in some respects a type. His Ancestry.—He was an Ephraimite, a descendant of Joseph, through Ephraim, and according to 1 Chronon 7:22-27 he was the eleventh generation from Joseph. His father's name was Nun, and his grandfather, Elishama, was a captain of the army of the Ephraimites, 40,500 in number, at the organizations of the Israelites soon after the exodus (Num. 2: 18, etc., compared with 1 Chronon 7: 27). His Birthplace.—He must have been born in Goshen in Egypt, where his parents were in slavery. We would know all of life if we completely understood any one life. It is well to read what we can in Joshua's Book of Life. 1. Matheson calls his life prosac, commonplace, that of an assistant to Moses. Of the three classes of men—those "in advance of their time, the men up to their time, and the men following their time"—Joshua was one of the last type, "without originality, obeying orders; his deeds only breathe through him, not from him." Thus the blind preacher makes Joshua a comfort and strength and hope to the vast majority of men. This may be true of the earlier portions of his life up to the time of this lesson. But now he comes to the reward of his faithfulness as one who obeys orders. By obeying he has learned to command. By faithfulness in little things he is able to do great things. This is the only ladder that may be climbed to the best. The one who would be an orator is told to learn the great orations by heart. The one who would be a painter studies and copies the great artists. When the time came he was able to enter the door to his great life-work. 2. A well-known scholar, says the Temple Bible, "considers the finest religious conception in the book the appearance to Joshua of the angelic 'Captain of the Lord's host' (Josh. 5: 13-15). It is a noble illustration of the truth that in the great causes of God upon the earth, the leaders, however, supreme they seem, are themselves led." Joshua was great because he was under divine guidance, taught by divine wisdom, and therefore, humble and strong. 3. He was a man of great courage, both physical and moral, as he had shown in the battle with Amalek, and still more in action, in spying out the land and in almost alone resisting the clamors of the people. 4. He was a man of faith. 5. He was deeply and intensely religious, through and through. 6. He came to have fine qualities as a general,—keen observation, power to control, wise leadership, celerity of movement skilful, strategy, boldness of attack. Ebers, in his romance "Joshua," makes him, not without some probability, a captain prior to the Exodus, in the Egyptian army, well accustomed to campaigning. The Difficulties in the Way.—These were very great indeed. 1. The Jordan was at its flood (Josh. 3: 15), absolutely impassable for an army, much less for the whole people of Israel. This made them safe from attack, but also prevented them from taking possession. 2. The people of the land dwelt in walled cities against which the Israelites had no sufficient weapons. These obstacles rose like an impassable barrier of mountains before the people. "Impossible to overcome" was written all over them. It was like the task which Jesus set before his disciples when he was about to be crucified—twelve unlearned, unarmed, poor men to conquer the Roman empire, when one breath of Cesar could sweep them from the earth; to overcome the wealth, the worldliness, the selfishness, the sin, and crime of the world. Lebanon was but a molekill to this mountain of difficulty. The people were dismayed, disheartened, hopeless almost to despair. Practical Points. The path of duty is like a direct road to success, and moving from it in either direction leads to disaster and defeat. "Note the terms righteousness, rectitude, uprightness and, in matters of opinion, orthodox, while the word 'wrong' is etymologically akin to 'wrung,' twisted."—D. Steele. "Character is the only thing that counts. Though you had the front of Jove himself, an eye like Mars, and had not character, some homely, puny-looking dwarf, who has what you lack, may rise up at any moment and upset you." PROLIFIC GARDEN ENGLISHMAN'S FIRST AND SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS IN MANI-TOBA—SOIL PRODUCES STRIKING RESULTS. The Winnipeg (Canada) Free Press of a few days since contains account of the success that followed the efforts of William Knowles, an Englishman who located near Winnipeg, Manitoba. This is but one of many letters giving experiences of settlers, and should be encouraging to those who are looking about for a new home in which they may better their conditions. The following is a copy of the article referred to: William Knowles, who cultivates some twelve acres of land just below Middlechurch ferry on east side of the Red River has probably as fine a display of horticultural products as any in Manitoba. The whole of his holding is in a high state of cultivation and literally crowded with splendid vegetable specimens, which have fortunately escaped damage by hall, although heavy storms have more than once occurred within a few miles. The potatoes are a wonderful crop, and he expects to raise 1,500 bushels from his patch of $4\frac{1}{2}$ acres. A half dozen of tubers selected yesterday average more than a pound each. Adjoining the potatoes may be seen a marvelous collection of tomatoes. There are 600 plants, all growing under an enormous weight of fruit. One single stock picked yesterday contained eighteen tomatoes and weighed four pounds. This extraordinary example of marvelous growth, together with some of the potatoes were sent to the Free Press office. The proprietor was the first in town with several specimens, including green corn. The season has been favorable for onions, and one square patch of nearly an acre is looking remarkably healthy. In addition there are good crops of cabbages, cauliflower, turnips, parsnips, carrots, pumpkins, marrows, cucumbers, celery, peas, lettuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral department has not been neglected and a charming display of all the well known blooms were shown, including a specially choice lot of asters. Mr. Knowles, who gained most of his gardening experience in England, is loud in his praise of Manitoba soil for vegetable raising, and is gratified with the result of his first attempt at extensive horticulture. Tripped. Gunner—So you think the DeBlowers are faking about their extended European tour? Guyer—I should say so.

Women Avoid Operations When a woman suffering from female trouble is told that an operation is necessary, it, of course, frightens her. The very thought of the hospital, the operating table and the knife strikes terror to her heart. It is quite true that these troubles may reach a stage where an operation is the only resource, but a great many women have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after an operation has been decided upon as the only cure. The strongest and most grateful most grateful make come from women who by taking Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ants and herbs, have escaped serious operations, as the Moore's case, of 307 W. 26th St., N.Y.

She marveled at everything until they sat down for luncheon. They had gone into the Astor house for that meal, but all its other marvels seemed lost on the visiting country hostess, as she looked open-eyed at the crowds that filled not only the corridors but the restaurants. Scarcely had they found seats, when this amazement took definite shape. "Eli," said she in a stagey whisper. "I can't set here an' eat peaceably. Ijes' must go downstairs an' help you Missus.

DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS FOR ALL KIDNEY DISEASE FOR RHEUMATISM BRIGHT'S DISEASE DIABETES.BACKWARDS T 375 "Guaranteed" MISS ROSE MOORE Yours truly. J. H. MESSER. San Antonio, Texas ECHOES FROM RELIGIOUS FIELDS CATHOLICS IN PHILIPPINES. Archbishop Harty of Diocese of Manila Says They Number 7,000,000. The religious situation in the Philippines, from the Catholic viewpoint, ARCHBISHOP HARTY has been pictured for American readers by Archbishop Harty, now in this country on a visit. The Most Rev. J. J. Harty was appointed archbishop of Manila three years ago, and during his incumbency he has administered 300,000 con- firmations in his diocese. This large number, it is explained in The Catholic Mirror, is perhaps due to the fact that confirmations had not been administered in the country districts for many years prior to his arrival. By means of the ecclesiastical census instituted by the old Spanish missionaries it is ascertained that there are now 7,000,000 Christians in the archipelago. Some other facts concerning the Catholic church in the Philippines are given in The Mirror as follows: "The idea that the church in the Philippines is rich is pure fiction. The church had been rich in lands, and these lands were productive and gave results, but for ten years no revenue has been received from any of them, and the result is poverty on the part of the church. Under the old regime the Spanish government paid for the support of the clergy. This, of course, has been withdrawn, and the clergy are dependent on the voluntary contributions of the people. The people had not been accustomed to support the clergy directly; they supported them indirectly through the taxation system. The direct contributions are now a hardship to them, the support which they give to the church is very meager, and the priests are in extreme poverty. "There are 400 priests in the diocese of Manila; 120 priests in the diocese of Jaro; 110 in the diocese of Vigan; 250 in the diocese of Cebu, and 160 in the diocese of Nueva Caceres. In the United States we have 14,000,000 Catholics, with 14 archbishops, 90 bishops and 15,000 priests. In the Philippine islands we have 7,000,000 Catholics, just 50 per cent, of those in America, and we have 1 archbishop, 5 bishops and 1,040 priests. The striking contrast in these figures shows without comment how much remains to be done." ONWARD AND UPWARD. The general plans for the establishment of a great Presbyterian rallying place at Montreat, in North Carolina, have been published in the church papers. It is proposed to make Montreat far more than a mere summer resort. It is to be a rallying place for Presbyterians of the south. Charles Carroll Brooks, the founder of "The Very Small Library," is planting libraries in various mountain communities. He is a mountain boy and was brought up in the Blue Ridge, near Harper's Ferry, W. Va. Education is going on apace in Uganda, in Central Africa, and there is no separation between it and religious teaching. A C. M. S. missionary writes: "The boys and girls are being brought up in the fear and nurture of the Lord, because they first learn that the beginning of wisdom is to know God and Jesus Christ whom he has sent." "What makes you women so different from us?" a Mohammedan woman in Persia asked of Miss McLean, of the Presbyterian mission. "Is it what you eat? Won't you make me a dress just like yours, so that I may look like you?" Miss McLean made her the dress, and she confesses that the woman was not a pretty picture when arrayed in it. "I haven't got the look set," she said, as she came back, disappointed. "There is something in your eyes that isn't in ours." What made the difference was the light of Christ shining within. Robert E. Lewis, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in central China, writes that the evangelistic meetings in Korea, during the recent visit of John R. Mott, were of remarkable power. A three days' campaign was held at Seoul. At one meeting over 200 men rose and stood as evidence of their desire to accept Jesus Christ. Prof. Marcus Dods Honored. Prof. Marcus Dods has been chosen by the United Free Church Assembly of Scotland to succeed the late Dr. Dainy as principal of New college, Edinburgh, one of the theological schools of the United Free church. Dr. Dods' promotion from the professorship of New Testament theology is especially remarkable from the fact that he is 73 years old. For ten years after leaving the theological school he bought in vain for a pastorate, but he has opened late, increasing his influence till his greatest advancement has come when he is past treascore and Led All to Christ. A Sunday school teacher said not long ago: "I have 14 young women in my class, and I have had the joy of saving every one of them to Jesus." HOME-MADE REMEDY HOME-MADE REMEDY INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY PRE- PARED BY ANYONE. Is Said to Promptly Relieve Backache and Overcome Kidney Trouble and Bladder Weakness Though Harmless and Pleasant to Take. What will appear very interesting to many people here is the article taken from a New York daily paper, giving a simple prescription, as formulated by a noted authority, who claims that he has found a positive remedy to cure almost any case of backache or kidney or bladder derangement, in the following simple prescription, if taken before the stage of Bright's disease: Fluid Extract Dandellon, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. A well-known authority, when asked regarding this prescription, stated that the ingredients are all harmless, and can be obtained at a small cost from any good prescription pharmacy, or the mixture would be put up if asked to do so. He further stated that while this prescription is often prescribed in rheumatic afflictions with splendid results, he could see no reason why it would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and urinary troubles and backache, as it has a peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most important organs and helping them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering. Those who suffer can make no mistake in giving it a trial. KNEW WHAT PAPA SAID. And It Was Something of a Variation of Old Adage. Tommy was stubborn and his teacher was having a hard time explaining a small point in the geography lesson. "Tommy," teacher began, "you can learn this if you make up your mind. It's not one bit smart to appear dull. I know," she continued, coaxingly, "that you are just as bright as any boy in the class. Remember, Tommy, where there's a will there's——" "Aw," broke in Tommy, "I know all dat, I do. Me fadder's a lawyer, he is, an I've heard him say it lots o' times." "You should not have interrupted me," reprimanded the teacher, "but I'm glad that your father has taught you the old adage. Can you repeat it for me?" "Sure," said Tommy, confidently. "Me fadder says dat where der's a will—der's always a bunch o' poor relations."—Lippincott's. FURIOUS HUMOR ON CHILD. Iching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body —Nothing Helped Her—Cuticura Cures Her in Five Days. "After my granddaughter of about seven years had been cured of the measles, she was attacked about a fornight later by a furious itching and painful eruption all over her body, especially the upper part of it, forming watery and bleeding sores, especially under the arms, of considerable size. She suffered a great deal and for three weeks we nursed her every night, using all the remedies we could think of. Nothing would help. We tried the Cuticura Remedies and after twenty-four hours we noted considerable improvement, and after using only one complete set of the Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days the little one, much to our joy, had been entirely cured, and has been well for a long time.

Harrison Grey Fiske discussed, at a dinner in New York, the art of acting. "I believe," said Mr. Fiske, "in subtlety and restraint. A nod, a shake of the head, a silent pause—these things are often more effective than the most violent yelling and ranting. "Life is like that, subtle and silent. What, for instance, could be more expressive than this scene, a scene without a spoken word, that I once witnessed in the country? "An undertaker stood on a corner near a noble mansion. He elevated his brows hopefully and inquiringly as a physician came from the house. The physician, compressing his lips, shook his head decidedly and hurried to his carriage. Then the undertaker with a sigh passed on. 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.

The pure food law does not prohibit the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking Powders because Cream of Tartar is as pure as Alum—but it is a well known fact that a baking powder in which Alum is used instead of Cream of Tartar is less injurious. Dr. Herman Reinbold, the expert German chemist, in a recent official report concerning Baking Powders, declares that a pure Alum baking powder is better and less injurious than the so-called Cream of Tartar powders. He says that if the quantity of alum contained in a sufficient quantity of baking powder for a batch of bread or cakes for an ordinary family, be concentrated to one mouthful of food, and taken into the stomach of any one person, no matter how delicate, it could do no harm. Effective Rat Poison. A new plague protective or rat poison has been discovered in India. It consists of a pasty substance inoculated with a bacillus. According to report a rat which takes enough to cover a pin's head will not only die, but will infect every other rat with which it comes in contact. Five villages have been selected by the government in which to make tests of the new poison. $100 Reward. $100.
