MERRY XMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR MERRY In the World In the World of Society MR. AND MRS. J. H. SHACKLEFORD MR. AND MRS. J. H. SHACK ELFORD CELEBRATE TENTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Among the pretty affairs at the Sojourner Truth Home this season were the reception tendered Miss Corona Thompson by Miss Cora Campbell, and the Roberts-Saunders wedding. It was conceded by the social public that these two Los Angeles buds graced not o nlythe Sojourner Truth Home, but the society goers of this city with two of the prettiest affairs of the season. After the passing of the buds there came the blossom, a full blown rose, Mrs. J. H. Shackelford, who with her husband, Mr. J. H. Shackelford, celebrated their tenth anniversary Monday evening at the Home, making the third beautiful affair of the season. The house was prettily decorated, the color scheme being red and green. Each light that flooded the entire house with a soft reddish shadowy reflection represented a California poppy. In the southwest corner was a beautiful bridal arch, and leading from right to left of the arch was a little white fence upon which asparagus plumosus ferns crept. The bride coming from the right was met by the groom who came from the left and they took the stand beneath the arch while the long line of ladies and gentlemen who represented the receiving The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a blank or heavily pixelated area with no discernible content. MRS. JAMES, J. LEGGETT President of the Club Volume 27 committee stood inside the fence receiving the guests as they came and went. Among the ladies and gentlemen who received with Mr. and Mrs. Shackelford were Mrs. S. H. Poole, Dr. and Mrs. Sommerville, Dr. and Mrs. W. C. Gordon, Prof. and Mrs. Chas. Alexander, Mrs. C. H. Dodge, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Palmer, Dr. A. C. Garrett, Mrs. E. Elbert, Dr. and Mrs. J. L. McCoy, Mrs. M. E. Robinson, Mrs. Charley Lewis, Mrs. Sara Jones, Mrs. S. A. Wright and Mrs. C. I. Lewis. The refreshments consisted of assorted cakes and cream bore a dainty imprint in green "Shackelford." The bride wore a dark green dress of mora silk, Oriental in design with Oriental and gold lace trimmings. The groom was attired in evening dress. The other guests of a hundred and fifty, including those who received were all prettily gowned. It has been conceded by many who were present that this was the season's star occasion. Among the special guests were the Hann's Singers, including Mme. Florence Cole Talbott, who favored the guests with a solo. Mrs. Talbott is always a favorite, and on this occasion she strengthened her reputation as a singer of rare note. Mr. Joseph Douglass also graced the affair with his presence. The bride and groom were the recipients of many beautiful tokens, among which was a hand- Los Angeles, Cal., DEC. 26, 1914 Things To Do---Goal to Gain Things To Do---Goal to Gain For Real Progress let us from now on unite our forces to the end that we may accomplish something all along the line for not only the progress of ourselves but for the entire community as well.

Mrs. Bertha Turner, who is a staunch member of the Sojourner Truth Club, was the caterer and her style of service as well as quality of refreshments on this occasion makes her a recognized success. Each social affair that is carried to the home seems to mark a new era in Mrs. Campbell's career as matron. So carefully is she administering to its needs in the way of careful attention to its sanitary and dignified condition and appearance that people with beautiful homes such as Mrs. Shackelford's are want to take their social function to it. The ushers, little Miss Cora Cambell and Miss Ornetta Williams, rendered excellent service. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Shackelford are successful business people in this community. Coming to Los Angeles about ten or twelve years ago they started in the second hand furniture business in a small compartment—today they owne and operate one of the largest and most completely furnished furniture stores anywhere Things To Do— For Real Progress let us fr to the end that we may a along the line for not only but for the entire commun Let us also discard petty jo alities that some of us a never was a great person w words a big man or woman Also be i- known that we s but for PRINCIPLE it is e that stands for a thing so principle is right is what n on Central Avenue, their store beeing at 811, 813 and 815 respectively. This is what we call a success. THE EAGLE. The Phis.-Art.-Lit.-Mo. Club held their annual grand reception last Friday evening at the Gamut Club, on Hope street. The affair was one of really bright lights of the season. There were so many distinguished guests present that space prohibits us from naming them. The programme consisted of an address by the President, Mrs J. J. Leggett, and a piano solo by Mrs. G. Kelly. The address was enjoyed by all, especially as it explained the meaning of the name of that wonderful club. The piano solo was also highly appreciated, refreshments were served and the evening enjoyed by all. On last Thursday evening, at their home on East 29th street, Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Cole entertained in honor of their daughter, Mme. Florence Cole Talbott, who is visiting with her parents while in the city with the Hann Jubilee singers. On this occasion many of the friends and former acquaintances of Mme. Talbott joined her parents in making merry at this festival, and a pleasant evening was spent by all present. Mme Talbott is a high school product of Los Angeles who has absolutely made good in the music world. Those who heard her a few years ago with the Western Jubilee Singers, the same company with whom our noted contralto Mme. Pearl Lowery Winters was connected, say that her voice has grown sweeter and bigger in range. She is not only a sweet singer but an artist whose stage manners suggest grace and dignity in her every move. Pioneer Club Give Their First Annual Reception The Pioneer Club on last Saturday evening at Odd Fellows hall gave their first annual reception. The members were out in force and quite a number of invited guests' the presidents of many of the various state clubs were guests of honor and occupied places upon the platform it was a splendid crowd and all who were so fortunate as to be present declare it one Goal to Gain from now on unite our forces accomplish something all by the progress of ourselves unity as well. realousies, strife and person- are heir to, remember there who was small.

Mrs. Eliza Warner, the president, presided with dignity and grace and in a splendid address welcomed the the invited guests. Mr. S. P. Johnson, president of the Kansas-Missouri club responded to the address of welcome in a happy vein, he denied the allegtioa of this being the pioneer club and said that the Kansas-Missouri organization was the real pioneer organization as it was the first organized which evoked much laughter. Mr. J. D. Groves, president of the Georgia club, spoke on behalf of that club words of encouragement to the pioneers. Mr. J. D. James spoke on behalf of the Louisiana club and Dr. Taylor on behalf of the Mississippi club. Little Miss Bernita Chamberlain rendered a piano solo and for her years her playing was great, she is destined to become a great pianist. The Miss Jackson of Sacramento rendered a duet which took the house by storm. Miss Luvenia Hickmah recited a piece in keeping with the occasion which was high. --- REV. JESSE F.

Greggs was introduced and spoke noble words of encouragement to the club, praised their efforts in getting together for common good and the possibilities for the race by organized effort. J. B. Bass, editor of the Eagle, was also introduced and responded with words of good cheer and hope for the sturds Pioneers of Los Angeles. After this address the guests were bountifully served with refreshments and after exchange of greeting the assembly dispersed with high praise for the hospitality of the Pioneer club. Mrs. L. Young was the mistress of ceremonies and filled that exacting position with high credit, to the honor and glory of her associates. Capt. G. W. Hawkins, pioneer resident of this city and retired business man, was seriously injured Tuesday by being struck by an automobile. Two ribs were broken and be was in many ways badly lacerated and bruised. The Captain has a host of friends who hope for his early recovery. The report which has been going the rounds that B. R. Randoiph, the former police officer, was dead, proved to be a black dispatch. The year and a half old little daughter of Mr. and Mr. W. M. P-pkins of Gladys, who fell from a window a few weeks ago, receiving serious injuries, is recovering rapidly.

It was during the summer of 1904 in the city of Chicago that I first met the late lamented Col. Allenworth and at once fell in love with him. He was then considering his retirement from his chapleney in the United States army. He told me at the time that he had in mind the founding of a colony of our people, and he was not certain where it would be best to begin. Then he spoke to me of California and wanted to know what I thought of his going out there and locating his enterprise, as I was already living in the state. Of course like many others, was glad to talk up the country. I next met him, he was busy working up the now successful town and colony of Allenworth, which I first had the privilege of visiting on December 20 and must say that I was favorably impressed with the of its people. I had the privilege of visiting its stores, hotel, barber shop, postoffice public library and public school Everybody seems trying to outdo themselves in their effort to make me welcome. I don't know when I have felt more at home among strange people. I had the privilege of meeting Prof. Payne, whom I had met before, and also his assistant, Miss Prince, although school had adjourned for the holidays I had the privilege of listening to a rehearsal of their Christmas exercises and enjoyed it immeusely. I understand that the school is doing fine work under the instruction of these teachers. There are but two white families there. The station agent and his wife and the section boss with his wife and three children, who attend school with the rest of the children. So far as I am any judge, the soil is as good as any in the great San Joaquin Valley. All kinds of products may be produced in abundance, I am informed. There is no reason that persons of the proper grit may not succeed there much better than depending upon days' work around many of the larger towns. Until these days of competition and strife are at an end. It is my opinion that more persons should purchase land and cast in their lot with that enterprise. Of course when I speak of these different enterprises in the towns you will understand therefore that they are all carried on by Negroes. Outside of the town proper there are a number of persons on five and ten acres plots, upon which I understand they are successfully raising various kines of California products. It is plain to me that there are many of our people around the larger places that are merely eeking out a mere living, who might do much betler at Allensworth. I hope to soon visit the place again and get better acquainted with its people. G. W. WOODBEY. ELKS' XMAS TREE A number of ladies, wives of members of the fraternity of Elks, conceived the idea this year of having a Christmas tree on Christmas day for the children of Los Angeles and they successfully carried out their idea. The tree was erected in Odd Eellows hall corner of Eighth and Wall streets. It was a thing of beauty, illuminated with varicolored electric lights, decorations of gold and silver tinsel and with numerous toys for both boys and girls. The hall was well filled with eager children and their parents when Atto ney E. Bvrton Ceruri, acting as master of ceremony began the celebration with prayer, the children afterward joining in singing America. The short program consisted of two well rendered piano selections by Miss McCullough and recitations and story-telling by Mr. Alexander. After the program was finished the master of ceremony turned over the meeting to Major J. B. Loving, who impersonated Santa Claus, took charge of the tree and the gifts for the children. Mr. Loving proved a very kind and generous Santa Claus, his flowing white beard and crimson robe attracted the children. His address was enthusiastically received and when he begin to dispense the toys fruit and candy it was easily seen that every boy and girl experienced extreme delight. The ladies to whom credit is due for this celebration, which is likely to become an annual affair, are Mrs. E. Burton Ceruti, Mrs. Edward Jackson, Mrs. J. P. White, Mrs. N. B. Murray, Mrs. G. G. Suttonton and Mrs. S. Barnes. When the Elks Christmas tree is announced next year there will hardly be standing room in the hall so great will be the crowd of children, for the ladies have made an impression on the public which is being expressed everywhere with gratitude. Mrs. Mary Shakleford Passes Away On last Monday, after an illness of more than five years which had confined her to her bed, in answer to the call of the grim reaper, Mrs. Mary Shackleford passed into the great beyond, surrounded by the members of her family who had in the many years of her illness with tender hands and cheering words done all that could be to alleviate her suffering, which she herself had borne with remarkable fortitude. Funeral services were held from the family residence, 780 E. 41st Street, and with simple ceremonies conducted by Rev. N. P. Gregg, assisted by Rev. J. L. McCoy. The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful. The interment was at Rosedale. She leaves to mourn her loss, beside her husband S. Shackleford, three children J. H. Shackleford, W. H. Shackleford, Martha E. Shackleford and two sisters, and a host of friends. The Eagle extends condolence to the family in this their hour of sorrow. Political Pot Simmering With the passing of the old yeor ahd the advent of the new one; munieipal politics have reached the simmering points and outside of the candidates for mayor there will be a grand rush for places on the aldermanic ticket. Several colored men are spoken of to make the race for councilmen. Mr. Whitley, the socialist, it is said is being groomed to make the race again. Then Sidney P. Done is being urged by many of the leading citizens to enter the race. His high standing in the business world, his agressiveness and personality they urge are a strong asset, it is even said several of the strong organizations will back him should he decide to enter the contest. Also W. J. Thompson, the east side plumber, is mentioned as a factor. Mr. Thompson ran two years ago and has had experience in making the race and it is said has his hat in the ring. Mrs. Eliza Warner, 1124 E.52nd street, assisted by other ladies, will keep open house Friday. Rev. F. W. Weller, S. T. D., of Handford; presiding elder of the California Conference of the A. M. E. Zion church, will occupy the pulpit at both services Sunday. Rev. Weller is a strong and forceful gospel preacher. Come out to 880 Market St. $10 to $14 Westbank Building SAN FRANCISCO CAL. O. J.

ENTIRE STORE DONE IN TILE OPEN IN TIME FOR XMAS TRADING Milk-Fed Poultry, Fish and Oysters THE BEST MEATS By Prof. Charles Alexander Every reader of this journal should have a copy of "Battles and Victories of Allen Allensworth," the great book just published by Sherman, French & Company of Boston, Mass., written by Prof. Charles Alexander of Los Angeles, California. This wonderful book contains the narrative of the life of Colonel Allen Allensworth, who rose from the lowest levels of degradation in slavery to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Regular Army of the United States, the highest rank yet attained by a colored man; and it also contains the history of the Negro race from the beginning of the slave trade in the United States up to the present time. This book is written in the most fascinating style, with bits of moral philosophy and sound wisdom, altogether admirable. It is intensely interesting to readers of every class. It is one of the really great books on the Negro question—a most valuable contribution to our historical literature. Orders sent to Prof. Charles Alexander, 502 Thorpe Building, Los Angeles, California, will be given prompt attention. The book contains over 400 pages and sells for $1.70 postage prepaid. Books of this kind usually sell for $3.00. Agents wanted. ```markdown ``` ride in a way commendatory of this progressive community. A neat four-page program announced the several events and in a spirited manner all programs were rendered. Sunday, Dec. 20, though the weather was ve.y inclement, splendid services were had morning and evening. Sunday morning Rev. J. L. Allen of Oakland delivered the Christmas message. Appropriate music was furnished for the occasion. Sunday evening the young people rendered the cantata "In quest of the King," an excellent service in story and song. The story was listened to with rapt attention and the musical numbers were well rendered. This entertainment was one of the most proficient ever rendered here. Many requests have been made for its repetition, and it is thought that upon the return of Miss Prince from her vacation the service will be repeated. At this service Miss Prince rendered a vocal solo in a very pleasing manner. Monday evening Rev, R. W. Woodbey of San Diego, preached to a large audience and on Tuesday evening delivered his masterly address "The Negro in Ancient History." Emancipation exercises at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church Friday evening, under auspices of the Forum. Quite a few of our citizens made the journey this week to San Diego to the opening exercises of the big exposition.

The Forum Should Give Pes The Forum of this city is a great organization and stands for real race progress. It can be safely judged of the future from what it has accomplished in the past. The great body of its membership are not the ones who are continually whining and singing the sorrow songs; to the contrary they know that for nigh unto three centuries we have sung those songs and that we can now, at least, sing some of the songs of rejoicing and triumph. The pessimists can be counted on the fingers of one's hand, but for fear that the body may become inoculated it is well to give some of the great big doses of optimistic medicine and cure them of a disease which by no means should be chronic and incurable With company present and a pessimistic fit is about to take place an optimistic Doctor should be at hand with the proper antidotes. And if they just have to make it a funeral occasion for the Forum's visitors as to racial progress let the subject know that if die he must, we have here in Los Angeles, within the race, two up to-date undertaking companies who will perform the obsequies, from a go-cart funeral to an automobile service. And then through this cloud tell them that the Negroes of Los Angeles are keeping pace with the progress of the race equally with any other city in the entire country, in proportion to their residence here in any considerable numbers; while we have only passed through the vestibule of our citizenship in this section, in our swaddling clothes, as it were. Show them these undisputed facts: We have two Negro printing offices which publish race journals, and fully equipped for all sorts of commercial and job work. Show them that we have here 67 Negro contractors in the various building lines. Show them: that Negroes have invested in this city, in business concerns, capital to the amount of $750,000.00. Show them: that with the possible exception of Chicago, we have a greater representation on the metropolitan police force than any other city in the United States. Show them: Our representation in the various county and city departments of our government. Show them: our 22 churches with a high class ministry—show them, more than a score of professional men, all of whom are making good in materia medica and in law. Show them: our great civic organizations and the work they have accomplished. Show them: Scijournals Tenth that his disease is incurable, but by no means contagious, and that the men and women of Los Angeles who have been in this great procession of progress will fight on and on for a continuous advancement, to the tune of aquick step, until pessimism is knocked out for ever. We must congratulate the Los Angeles Eagle upon its Christmas number. The entire management deserves credit for its effort which speaks well for the strength of the organization, especially during the dull times. It requires a bigger outlay of money than the general reader imagines and the struggling editor is seldom given the credit he deserves. We extend our contemporary the wish of a Merry Christmas and a happy, prosperous New Year.—Western Outlook. Among the many exchanges and personal congratulations, anent our holiday number all of which we highly appreciate; we for several reasons find solace in the greetings extended us from our contemporary at Oakland. We are glad to know that the spirit of broadness exists at a place which we have been lead to believe it did not, and from this time on we shall know that we have in the north a contemporary that is broad and big enough to at all times join n all movements for the advancement of the common interests of the race. We will say that from the moment that we set hoof on California soil the advice of the senior editor of the Outlook was straight and square from the shoulder. And had we followed the same the only murky cloud in our public life of a score of years would not have occurred. The South is only kidding about helping the Negro and about being his friend. Let's see. To start with, the "white trash," who could not afford to own a slave in the '60s, would be kicked by the master at the big house for even shoving a slave. Today he can kill a black man at will and not even the United States Government would object. If the South is so interested in the Negro, why don't they have laws passed that white and colored should marry and run out of their midst the white man living in adultery with the colored woman? Why don't the South close the houses of prostitution where colored girls and women are kept and supported by white "gentlemen?" The South is helping the Negro? Let a respectable colored woman start from Chicago to Florida, with or without her husband, and she will be insulted by white gentlemen passing through the Jim Crow car. Of course this is helping the Negro. Yet there are Negroes who are so blind that whatever the Southern white man says or does against the Negro you must not say anything. Belgium objected to Germany passing through her territory and objected with a stern hand, she lost everything and is happy. The Negro must do the same. When a lynching bee is being pulled off they should uphold the law by using the shotgun on the lynchers and protect the law and restore it back to its standing. Louisiana having set such an example of defiance of law by putting to death three innocent men, with the bright prospect of adding several more to the list, no doubt feel that they are "a mighty nation." It would be interesting to know just what sort of religion—i any—the profess. Surely they must find some excuse for their actions other than just a savage instinct for gore.

THE BROADWAY DEPARTMENT STORE At Fourth and Broadway. Many people coming from such cities as New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago often complain because of the lack of convenience on the part of big department stores here. The Broadway leads. For many years the Broadway has been constantly growing, but within the past few months it has made such rapid strides that its many patrons who have been off the shopping job for the past few months and who are now out on their Christmas shopping expedition are dazzled with delight. You find at the Broadway everything from a dog collar to the most artistic bit of French lace. Frome basement to attic every department is complete. But, Oh! you "Toyland," where the kiddies' dreams come true. The management of the Broadway warrants good treatment to all kind of buyers, both high and low, rich and poor. THE FABEN PHI BALL.

Many presents were exchanged and many hearts male glad. The church was full and all enjoyed the exercises very much. The pastor, Rev. J. D.

The work was all done by race men, under the management of A. L. Reese, the A. Kinney Co.'s decorator. The wreaths, Santa Claus' faces, bells, baskets, snow and, in fact everything used, was made by the decorators, who are fifteen in number.

All that have tickets are good for that date. The banquet given by the 250-men's moxemene club, at the A. M. E. Church was a grand success.

Mr. Fountain Brown of Los Angeles, has joined the business section in Winter's block, starting a first-class pool hall where all are invited to play a nice, clean game. Mr. Brown is sparing no pains in making his place one of the nearest business places of the city. Mr. and Mrs. O. Overr was in the city from Allenworth Friday and Saturday. Mr. Overr left for Los Angeles on business. Mrs. Overr had a very pleasant visit. We were sorry to disappoint the people about the Douglass recital. The date was postponed until January 15. Mrs. S. E. Dyson, popular modest, leaves Thursday night for Los Angeles, where she will spend Xmas with her many friends, we wish her a grand trip: Miss Lillian McLaHan ia expected in the city to spend the holidays with her sister, Anita.

A GREAT BOOK ON THE NEGRO QUESTION By Prof. Charles Alexander Every reader of this journal should have a copy of "Battles and Victories of Allen Allensworth," the great book just published by Sherman, French & Company of Boston, Mass., written by Prof. Charles Alexander of Los Angeles, California. This wonderful book contains the narrative of the life of Colonel Allen Allensworth, who rose from the lowest levels of degradation in slavery to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Regular Army of the United States, the highest rank yet attained by a colored man; and it also contains the history of the Negro race from the beginning of the slave trade in the United States up to the present time. This book is written in the most fascinating style, with bits of moral philosophy and sound wisdom, altogether admirable. It is intensely interesting to readers of every class. It is one of the really great books on the Negro question—a most valuable contribution to our historical literature. Orders sent to Prof. Charles Alexander, 502 Thorpe Building, Los Angeles, California, will be given prompt attention. The book contains over 400 pages and sells for $1.70 postage prepaid. Books of this kind usually sell for $3.00. Agents wanted. SUBS RIBE READ READ ADVERTISE IN THE CALIFNRNIA EAGLE Before buying your Wood, Coal, Blocks or Feed get our prices at KRUEGER'S.

We have proved to the advertiser that we can give results and as a sequel to the same the Eagle car- ries more advertising matter than all the race journals in the state. We do not by any means say this in a boastful manner, but simply say 80 to show what can be accom: plished by the Negro Presa that stands for the people and with them. To this time we never deviated from our course and glory in the fact that we stand for the every day common people the masses. We do not give publicity to one set or clique in favor of another, but stand on the principle of “all men up and no man down.” We have fought the fight along these lines and we think we have caught sight of victory at no far distant date. During the past year within the race we may have had some friend to boost, but we have had ag enemies to roast. j If we were imposed upon by ven: enemies of the race from without, we have without fear or favor open- ed onr batteries against the com- mon enemy. We have fought segregation, Jim Crowism and fougist them hard. We have through this journal and with our forces on the lecture platform throughout the state ex- ploited 52. years of progress and in the passing of the year we can at least say that we have done our best.

Industrial School For Negro Youth is Sought Allensworth Colony in Tulare County Makes Bid for Training Institution (From the Scrap Book of J. D. Rey- nolds, Eagle Correspondent) Bakersfield, December 10—The col- ony of Allensworth, just across theline in Tulare county, is making @ bid for the establishment of a State Industrial school for the training of Negro youag jmen_and women.

McHarvey COLONY ONE OF NEGROES ‘The Allensworth colony was founded by the late Colonel Allensworth and is one of the most prosperous districts in San Joaquin valley. Its residents are nearly all Negroes. Discussing the project, Principal Payne said: ‘There are at present be- tween 50,000 and 60,000 Negroes in California. In no other ‘state where the Negro population is so large has the problem of providing means for the in- dustrial education of colored people been 20 ‘neglected. We hope to get state aid for our project, which will thereby become a land grant school, earrying with it also federal aid. If such a school is to be established in Galifornia we believe Allensworth is entitled to it, * LARGEST OF KIND IN WEST ‘We have the largest Negro ¢olony in the West and feel that we have suc- ceeded in our enterprise and we have shown ourselves to. be progressive. ‘The Sar'Joaquin valley as a whole has not, its shsre of state institutiens and this gives us additional hope that our idea will meet with general approval. ~The industrial school which we have in mind would provide trainiug for both young men and young women. It would provide a boon to our race and a benefit to the state. It is something to which we are entitled and I believe we will be ‘successful.’” a Mrs. Francis 1168 B..33d street, left last Betas for an. extended visit to New Orleans and surround- ing cities, to visit ber parents, rela- tives and friends, She will be ab— gent for about six weeks. . ae SS con a RDanl y aE Eyes ex 9% eee eae i ee ee eee “Ye in the market to buy or Sell, Houses, Apartmente or Rooms to Rént consult our Calendar.

TUSKEGEE SINGERS | : Make Big Hit with their Concert at Wesley Chapel. A troupe of five male singers who have been touring California in the interest of the Tuskeegee school, appeared at Wesley Chapel Wednesday evening to a fair audi- ence. They were great, indeed, and the reading and dramatic re- citing of Mr. Woods could not be excelled, Their jubilee and folk lore soags as they are sung in the Southland every day, can only be realized by hearing this Tuskeegee chorus, and they are accomplish: ing a great work for the school. Too bad the management failed tc work up a greater interest to the end that they should have had an audience that would have filled the church to the utmost. Fora eause such as this we cannot see for one moment how they expect the peo: ple to know they will play without at least announcing the same wit the Negro Press. at F. H.

Many people coming from such cities as New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago often complain because of the lack of convenience on the part of big department stores here. The Broadway leads. For many years the Broadway has been constantly growing, but within the past few months it has made such rapid strides that its many patrons who have been off the shopping job for the past few months and who are now out on their Christmas shopping expedition are dazzled with delight. You find at the Broadway everything from a dog collar to the most artistic bit of French lace. Frome basement to attic every department is complete. But, Oh! you "Toyland," where the kiddies' dreams come true. The management of the Broadway warrants good treatment to all kind of buyers, both high and low, rich and poor. THE FABEN PHI BALL. The above fraternity wishes to announce again with pleasure their intention of giving their annual ball on New Years' night, 1915. When one recalls the taste, refinement and pleasure afforded by this annual festivity under the auspices, of this fraternity heretofore, we are not surprised to know that already the great public is in anticipation of the event. Preparations already on the way promise an enjoyable evening to the guests, every effort being made to make the occasion of a highly artistic character. MEYERS DEPARTMENT STORE. One of the great firms of Pasadena is the Meyer Department store, which place has stood the test of years as to reliability and to service rendered its patrons. This firm appreciates the friendship of all its patrons and will in the future as in the past strive to make this department store second to none in Pasadena. Negroes, Beware! of Allensworth Land Co.

The Eagle man oftimes drops into his place of business, and his quaint sayings in an every day sort of way are to us instructive and really gives to us an insight to many phases of race progress. He is to our mind a philosopher without knowing the same as sage, as it were. One of his sayings is, "If you want to Do better than the other fellow in any particular line, Don't let the other fellow Do all of the work, you must do most of it yourself to excell him." In short, if you are playing a man a game of pool and want to beat him, don't let him shoot too much. Another one of his sayings is: "The Negro has always been smarter than the Southern white man, for while the white planter thought he was cheating the Negro, when he was outcounting him for his share of the crop The Negro was out-figuring him a country block by taking out even more than his part, hiding it and then disposed of the same. And that this was the foundation for their progress in the Southland. The California Eagle's Interview With Thomas Lee Woolwine Since returning from a visit to my old home in Tennessee I have learned with a great deal of pleasure of the very loyal support that was given to my candidacy by the large majority of your people. And you may feel assured that my policy of "Even-handed Justice" in the administration of the great office of district attorney of this-county invites your co-operation in making the office responsive to the needs of your people. I do not deem it in good taste for me to discuss any other policies of the incoming administration, until I accede to the office. I will be pleased to have you inform your readers of my appreciation of their loyal support so generously given. THOMAS LEE WOOLWINE. BY HENRY E. DEAN. OUR CHRISTMAS NUMBER Without the beating of drums or the crash of cymbals we are presenting to our readers in magazine form our hiliday number. In it can be viewed many signs of progress as well as a resume of the various lines of endeavor within the race, also the firms, boht large and small that show their appreciation of the patronage of our people in this bailiwick, and the Yuletide bargains that can be had by visiting these various emporiums of trade. The EAGLE always alert to the best interests of its clientage, which consists of the great horde of the common everyday people, the masses, can without hesitation commend to your consideration the advertisers herein. And way beyond this feature we are indebted to our bevy of writers and contributors to the success of this number and while we shall issue another number before Xmas we can say in reality that we regard this as our real Christmas number and with it we extend the compliments of the season. A Yuletide Poem to My Wife Without a Cause." In his discussion he advised the people of God to avoid hating or hatred, as it not only disturbs one's mind but also destroys the cells of the body. So be kind always and you have taken a long step upward. Those who were so fortunate as to be out had the privilege of hearing one of Tabernacle's most gifted daughters sing, in the person of Mrk. Florence Cole Talbot. We were glad to welcome her and her husband. We hope to have them with us again soon. We were also glad to welcome back home Mrs. McDowell-Nicholson, with her husband, from the northern part of the State. We were also glad to have our friend and brother Hooper worship with us. Sister Munfry is out of the city visiting her daughter in the northern part of the State for the holidays. We wish her a pleasant stay. The pastor preached an exposition sermon Sunday evening on the first seven verses of 21 Revelations. He said, in part: The tabernacle of God is with man; we do not have to go to God. He is right here wite us now, meaning that the spiritual communion between God and man is with man in their minds, and when they shall reach that state of mind there shall be no more sea or trouble. The pastor will occupy the pnlpit both morning and evening next Sunday. In the morning he will preach on Love and its attainments, the opposite of last Sunday morning's subject. The children are looking forward to a grand time Thursday night at the Christmas tree. Our Sunday school is doing nicely. Sister Glover on 14th street is still unable to be about. There was no bible class this week on account of the holiday exercises. Sister Howard and sister Lloyd are receiving contributions for their free dinner for the poor on the last day in this year. The Christian Aid Society are preparing to have a banquet to excel any given heretofore for its new members, on the first Thursday in the new year. All members are expected out. Champion Colored Pool Players Clover Smith, known as "Bad Boy" of Atlanta, Georgia, is in the city, and he is noted as a champion pool player. He has been giving exhibitions of his prowess with the cue at the various billiard parlors while in the city. He has had a remarkable career and traveled all over the country. He has been dubbed "The Black De Oro." He has a rapid stroke and veritably sweeps the balls from the table. His runs in match games are sometimes as high as 45 to 75 points. He will meet all comers while in the city. How about that suit? It need pressing. Let the Crystal Cleaners do it. They know how. Call up Main 2403. Prompt service our motto.

WILLIAMS Sac' "The Negro woman who cooks your meals, or is maid in your house, very probably comes from an infected household. Your butler may have a tuberculosis-ridden home, where all precautions are ignored, for all you know. "The clothes you wear are, for all you can prove, washed in a hotel where diseases breed, or at least where the environment is revoltingly unsanitary. The talk of 'segregation' as a cure for this condition is pitiful folly. You can not segregate the germ. Its work goes right on. The contradiction is that these murderous fatteners of the disease and death rate can be abolished, and that within a comparatively short time and by a formula arithmetically demonstrable. In Havana, and on the canal zone, Gorgas recognized that the germ had neither race nor flag. In New Orleans, fighting yellow fever or the bubonic plague, the same fact was faced. What was the result? They went after the germ wherever it existed in white or Negro, or 'mestizo' quarters, and now these places are far more healthy than the average American municipality. "American citizens pay taxes to fight the germ without flag or race in these latitudes and point to the result with pride. Right on der their noses are incubators of disease run in defiance of the laws we elsewhere recognize and for the enforcement of which we pay, and why? For one or two reasons: Pluperfect apathy or pluperfect parsimony. "In the hygienic sense, if no other, we are, indeed, 'our brother's keeper.' We concede that principle or suffer. Until Atlanta, Savannah and every other American city and state recognizes and enforces this formula, the destroyer without race or flag will continue its march unabated." Ruleville, Miss., Dec. 22. News was brought here today of the lynching of Charles Williams, a Negro, on a plantation several miles in the country. Williams, it is charged, attacked the plantation manager late yesterday, and a few hours later he was seized by a mob. SCORES MINISTER FOR Cincinnati, Ohio.—Rev. Frederick Taylor, Indianapolis pastor, told ministers assembled at the interdenominational institute at the Ninth Street Baptist church "the practice of ministers going from house to house making afternoon calls on church women while their husbands are at work causes more trouble for the church than it does good. This calling business may possibly suit some men, but not me," he said with much vigor. "I wish I could meet the man who started it. There is nothing about afternoon calls in the Scriptures. I go down town to see the men in their places of business. You cannot get this sort of fish with a net, you have to use a hook and line—but, when you do land him, you feel that you have done something. The other way is harmful." PRETTY HOME WEDDING. Mrs. Pauline Miles and Mr. Edward Hubert were married Dec. 25th at the home of the bride at 748 Gladys avenue. Though it was planned to be a very quiet affair, nearly everyone invited were present, and a very enjoyable evening was spent by the great gathering. The home was beautifully decorated in Christmas colors, and light but dainty refreshments were served. The bride was prettily gowned in a soft shade of brown silk with real lace trimmings. Mrs. Hubert is a member of the Second Baptist Church and sings in the choir. She is also active in many fraternal organizations. Her host of friends joins the Eagle in extending to her many congratulations. Eight Lynchings Year's Record at Shreveport, La. Burning of Aged Man at the State Friday Brings total of Murders by Mobs to Appalling Figures. [Special to the Chicago Defender.] Shreveport, La., Dec. 18.—From the record of mob murders in this parish in one year the South Eight Sets of Twins, Boy and Girl to Each Birth. Coswell, N. C., Dec. 27.—Squire Robert I. Mitchell, who visited his old home near Ridgeville vacently; brought back a bit of rare news. The wife of West Graves, a negro of that section, has just presented her husband with the eighth consecutive set of twins. The couple have been married about thirteen years, the knot having been tied by 'Squire' Mitchell when he was a justice of the peace. A remarkable circumstance thereof is the fact that in each set of twins was a boy and a girl. There are eight children, one of each set having died.—[From the Scrap Book by J. C. Reynolds, Cor. California Eagle. (Fron J. D. Reynold's Scrap Book) In Chicago at the Great Northern Hippodrome, Quincy street, between State and Dearborn street, the manager is discriminating. He is making Afro-Americans go to the next floor, the balcony. Mrs. Helen Jackson Thorne, Mrs. Rebecca Thayer and Miss Ethel Spence went to the theater on November 24, Mrs. Thorne bought the tickets at 20 cents per ticket. The three did not get further than the door when tqey were told to go to the balcony. Rather than be humiliated, they left the theater, and in so doing heard the white ticket seller say: "If I knew they were niggers I would not have sold them tickets for the first floor. That is evidence for a suit. These young women have their tickets. The case was reported to the Hon. Edward H. Morris, one of the most trained legal men in the state. The house will be sued and prosecuted. The law in Illinois is that there must be no discrimination in public places. Afro-Americans who stand for such insult are less than men. Whenever you are discriminated or segregated in public, get evidence and immediately take your case to a good lawyer. This is not the first time this manager has discriminated against the race. Mrs. Homer Johnson, 3744 Rhodes avenue, went there some weeks ago and was discriminated against. Others report similar circumstances The Defender urges that you nip this unlawful act in the bud. Don't say it's too much trouble. Defend yourself and you defend the race. Uphold your rights. The Illinois statutes fully cover cases of discrimination on account of color and prescribe fines severe enough to check the violations if the cases are properly prosecuted. There will be no cessation of these violations until the severest punishment is meted out in a court of law. BAPIST OFFICIAL DEAD Rev. William Beckham, Field Secretary National Publication Board, Passes away in Missouri. Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 20.—After an illness covering several months, Rev. Wm. Beckham, D.D., of this city, died in Indewendence, Mo., this morning. This news was flashed over the wire by Rev. S. W. Bacote, D. D., who was well known to Dr. Beckham. Dr. Beckham was Field Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board a position he had held for more than a dozen years. He was born in Zebulon, Pike county, Ga., April 26, 1866, but moved to Texas with his parents when quite a youngster. He was ordained as a Baptist minister Nov. 23, 1891, at Albany Tex., by a presbytery of the First Baptist Church at that place, composed of Rev. C. H. Chian, moderator; Rev. H. Maxie, clerk, and Revs. J. Coples and S. De Jennett, He pastored in Texas for some years, after which he was a missionary under Rev. R. H. Boyd, who was at that time superintendent of missions of the Gen. Baptist Convention of Texas. The funeral was held at the First Baptist Church of this city, where the deceased was a member. Let's Pull Together During 1915 The year 1914 is behind us. Now let us pull together during 1915, to the end that we shall experience greater activities along all of the various lines of endeavor; For a Greater California, a greater Los Angeles and a greater People. The Eagle will take great pride in this great Pull and shall stretch forth new wings as never before, to the end that we shall all Pull as one during 1915. One of our New Year's resolves is, that from now on we shall carry no dead heads on our list. We shall not worry ourselves with them. We look to the live wires who appreciate our efforts to furnish such a journal as we are presenting, and whatever number we serve we want that number to be live ones. Composers throughout the country will now be invited to submit musical setting for the winning poem, the rules for which will be published in the near future, the prize for the musical setting being two thousand dollars. We regret that there could be but one winner, and but one prize bestowed. Many manuscripts of undoubted merit were received, but after careful consideration of all the points involved, the judges made the awards as above. CHORUS Oh, glorious California! With sunshine, wealth and flowers, We praise the God of Nature For this dear land of ours. Come, come, come, come, Share prosperity From near and far some share with us, This homeland by the sea. The fields that now are fertile, Though once so parched and dry, New yield a golden harvest: And nature's wants supply, Canals for irrigation, Sunshine the whole year round, Through harmong with nature A heav'n blest land is found. The great caral now open, Commerce and trade expands Because the two great oceans In friendliness shake hands, Vast fields are idly waiting, Which oft have called before, Hundreds are daily coming And yet there's room for more The mountain, valley, seashore As wood nymphs lure with song Charm you to sweet forgetting That night was ever long, The night-birds in their revel, Their happy vigil keep, Warblig and singing sweetly The songs that soothe to sleep. BY MISS ADDEL HUMPHREY In the fertile, sunny Southland, Where the sky is always blue, Mountain sides and rolling valleys, Blooming meadows fair to view, Shelter homes of happy people, In their lives supremely blest— Days of sunshine, night of coolness Bring activity—then rest. CHORUS California—Land of Plenty! California—Paradise! From thy charms, Oh California, Other climes may not entice, Once at home in California, Quite forgot are earthly ills. Life is lived in California With a joyousness that thrills, In the fragrant, sunny Southland, Where the trees are always green. There are acres lying idle Waiting thousands yet unseen. Homes for them in peace and plenty Walt the touco of human hand. Orange groves and walnut orchards Then will bloom o'er all the land.
