The Broad Ax

SPECIAL COMMUNICATION FROM HOT SPRINGS, ARK., TO THE BROAD AX. According to promise I write you some of the Hot Springs society events. Among the few that are visiting in this city from the Windy City are Mrs. Chas. Pitts, Mrs. William McKnight, Miss Genevieve Leoun Arbuckle, Mr. Dick Moss, Mr. Greene, G. Funley, Hassell Ransome and Mr. Billy Coats, who are all deriving benefit from the baths. The weather is simply beautiful here, and everyone is enjoying the mountain air, and picking the sweet violets. Mrs. Dora Williams entertained Mrs. Davis of Colorado Springs; Mrs. McKnight, and Captain Edwards at luncheon. Mrs. Mauds will entertain Mrs. Charles Pitts, Mrs. McKnight, Miss Genevieve Leoun Arbuckle and others Thursday night. Our well known physician of that Windy city, Dr. Curtis, has a large practice and is well liked by all who know him. Dr. Wade and daughter, Miss Melluot, entertained Miss Dienia, of Washington, D. C., Mrs. McKnight and Mr. D. Moss at dinner Wednesday. All agreed that Dr. Dade's daughter Miss Melluot, made a sweet and charming little hostess. The people of Hot Springs are exceedingly enterprising, and most all of them own their own homes. The livery man, Mr. Jenkins, does an amazingly big business in his line. Miss G. L. A. caused a sensation in Hot Springs the other morning. While out riding with a party of friends, all of whom were clever horse-women, she displayed a remarkable lot of nerve by throwing herself from the saddle while her horse was running away. Fortunately she escaped without a scratch her horse leaving her about two miles in the back ground. The horse was caught by a gentleman of the party, brought back, and she again mounted and rode home. She is a good rider and a decidedly clever young lady in every respect. We are sorry to have the Chicago ladies leave as society will be very stupid without them. Miss Quicker Robinson and her sister are both teaching school in the city. Mrs. Lovels has the only first-class manicuring parlor in Hot Springs. Mrs. Lizzie Anderson, of the windy city, is doing a fine and rushing business at the Eastman hotel in her hair dressing parlor. Mrs. Claben, of Marquette, Mich., has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Robinson, in this city, and returned home Thursday. The many new friends she made disliked to see her go. Mr. Maurice Orman and Dr. Linely his cousin of Texas, entertained Mrs. Willie Brown, Mrs. Wm. McKnight, Miss Genevieve Leoun Arbuckle, Sunday at luncheon, the table decorations were carvations. After luncheon they took a delightful drive through the most inviting places in Hot Springs which the ladies enjoyed and appreciated very highly. The bohemian fair at Ronoke Baptist church proved to be a great success. Mrs. C. Johnson has just completed her beautiful new home which is situated in a delightful spot, 116 Walnut street. Mrs. William McKnight, Miss Genevieve Leoun Arbuckle and Captain Edwards of Detroit, Mich., Mr. Maurice Orman and Dr. Linely will be given their good-bye reception by Mrs. Dora Williams, of Hot Springs, and Mr. Rebecca Davis, of Colorado Springs, Friday evening, 18 High street. Mr. G. Henry Green, of Hot Springs, is a charming and pleasant young man who is never too tired to entertain the visiting ladies. Miss Anna Robinson, of Chicago, is very ill. Yours respectfully, MRS. WM. McKNIGHT. It is claimed by several gentlemen, who are in a position to know, what they are talking about, that Rev. Andrew Jackson Carey, who is known as the cheap Snorting Political Preacher "will receive fifty bucks, or fifty dollars for speaking in behalf of David L. Frank, at the Coliseum last night." Who is not in favor of doing away with Policy-shops, crap-grames, gambling-ums, Low dives, or tough saloons. Rev. Carey is in a bad business, when he supports David L. Frank as a reformer, and as long as low bred or cheap white politicians can buy whisky-drinking Negro teachers for five, ten, and fifty dollars, just so long will this same class of politicians display their greatest contempt for all self-respecting Negroes. Mr. J. B. O'Connell, of the strong legal firm of Devine & O'Connell, Resper Block, is eminently qualified for Judge of the County Court of Cook County. ```markdown ``` M. J. WALSH AND ROY O. WEST LAID, OUT. Monday evening last, Mr. James H. Harris and Julius F. Taylor attended a political meeting held at 4903 State St., in the interest of M. J. Walsh, who wants to be Alderman of the 30th ward, and as we were seated close to Mr. Walsh taking notes for our paper he stated that when he wound up speaking he wanted the editor of The Broad Ax to get up and tell his hearers why he was a Democrat. We declined to do so at first, then he kept on urging us to get up and speak out. At the same time he said that "The Broad Ax was a good newspaper, that he read it and paid his subscription to it, and if it was only Republican in politics instead of being Democratic its circulation would increase five thousand inside of two months." At last, after being urged the third time to set forth our reason for being a Democrat, we consented to do a little talking along that line, but we had not spoken over a dozen words before Candidate Walsh wanted to choke us off. We politely informed Mr. Walsh that we did not say one word while he was jumping on us and now we proposed to be heard. Then Friend Walsh saw that he had bitten off more than he could chew. He left the meeting in haste. At that point a little man with a very small head by the name of Roy O. West, endeavored to put in his jaw by interrupting us. He claimed that we were not adhering to the truth in one of our statements. We then and there offered to wager Mr. West $100 that our statement was correct but he would not call our hand and we bluffed him out. At the conclusion of our little speal Mr. West addressed the meeting but instead of booming Walsh for Alderman, he put in all his time in a vain endeavor to tear down our Democratic speech, and Walsh and West will never want another Afro-American Democrat to speak in one of their Republican meetings. ALDERMANIC CANDIDATES. The following bunch of men are aspirants for seats in the city council, and all of them will work hard for their own election next Tuesday, April fool's day: Borland One of the hard working and obliging commissioners of Cook county, who is more than likely to receive the nomination for Sheriff next June from the hands of the united Democracy.

TWENTY-FIFTH WARD. A. D. Williston, R. I. H. Nordlinger, D. E. L. Walker, Pro. Lawyer W. L. Gahan, 100 Washington street, returned home last Friday from his extensive western and southern trip. The Broad Ax dislikes to admit it but it is its honest opinion that Bath-House John J. Coughlin will down the gang of reformers in the first ward. Generally, the man that is always saying that colored papers don't have any news, is the man that borrows them to read.—Atlanta Age. Sunday morning at 11 o'clock Prof. M. M. Mangasarian will speak in the Grand Opera House on "The True Conception of Another Life." Alderman Wm. F. Brennan, 12th ward says "that things are coming dead easy for him and that he will be re-elected to the council." After carefully looking over the political field in the 30th ward, we are firmly convinced that John J. Bradley will be elected to the city council from the 30th ward. Attorney James Long, Unity Building, and James Cunningham, who is connected with Fowler Bros., are candidates for members of the Democratic County Central Committee from the 31st ward. Alderman Wm. O. Kuester, 26th ward, has no doubt of his re-election to the city council and this news will please his many friends for Alderman Kuester is O. K. If you vote for John J. Bradley for Alderman of the 30th ward, it will show that you are in favor of having an honest man to represent you in the city council. Congressman George P. Foster is spending one week in the city and he will not return to Washington, D. C., until next Tuesday night. The congressman is assisting Alderman Kent, in his fight in the Fourth ward. Almost two thousand dollars was raked in by Rev. A. L. Murray and his flock within the last quarter and still Bethel Church is heavily in debt, but we must remember that Rev. Murray must have twenty dollars a week for his table. The Broad Ax is sorry to learn that its friend, Mr. M. E. Clare, assistant prosecuting attorney of Chicago, will be unable in the future to serve the city in that capacity owing to the fact that the city has no funds on hand to compensate him for his services. Robert M. Mitchell addressed the Sunday Forum of Paris, Ill., last Sunday on "The Failure of the Negro in Politics." Attorney Mitchell says he was well received by the people of Paris and that many white persons attended the Forum to hear him speak. A little over three thousand dollars were collected by the members of Quinn Chapel during the last church quarter, but the report which was published in the old church organ last week does not say how this three thousand dollars was expended. And still the long and loud cry is constantly going up from Rev. A. J. Carey for more money. Another blow has been dealt "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The city council of Charleston, W. Va. has forbidden the play to be performed in the city, as a result of a petition of the Daughters of the Confederacy, and similar action has been demanded in other towns and cities of the south.—Ex. It is about time that Negroes should fully awake to their place and opportunity in the world. We have slept too long, and can be shooed aside too easily. Everything is moving, and some of us are just pushed on by the pressure, and not from our own attempt or desire. Wake up and be men, and prepare yourselves to bear the brunt, and walk in the van. Shelton were laid to rest. Mrs. Sheltog desires to thank all of her friends for the aid and sympathy which they so cheerfully and willingly rendered her during her sore affliction. Deacon Harvey Brown is as mad as an old wet hen. Last Monday morning he was dressed up in his plug hat and sitting on the top of his coach. As the writer passed the corner of Randolph and La Salle streets, and as soon as we came near unto him, Deacon Brown hollowed out in a loud voice that he would smash is in the face if we did not keep his name out of the Broad Ax. Heretofore we were under the impression that Deacon Brown was a Christian and a class leader at Quinn Chapel. Enough said! Bringing: a woman clear across the continent chained to a man was the nauseating spectacle on one of the overland trains one day this week. Such barbarity was never before seen or heard of, and it would not have been in this case, in the opinion of the writer at least, if the woman in question had not been of Negro blood. The woman and her husband are accused of having stolen the Lowenthal diamonds at Portland, Oregon, some months ago. They were subsequently arrested at Toronto and brought back to Portland guarded by five detectives, and yet that hoard of detectives found it necessary to chain the woman to her husband as if she had been a dangerous murderess. Who said the average detective was not a brute when it comes to handling persons of color.—Ex. Mr. James A. Quinn, the high-cockaloorum of the 21st ward, has rung his bell and he has begun an unrelenting warfare upon Boss Robert E. Burke. Mr. Quinn asserts in a long interview which appeared in all the daily papers a few days ago, that within the past five years he estimates that Boss Burke has collected no less than $250,000 by manipulating the Harrison Guards, the Bryan League and the Chicago Tammany. This bitter fight between Messrs. Quinn and Burke will be watched with much interest by all the politicians, and if Boss Burke cannot get Mr. Quinn's scalp by demanding Mayor Harrison to oust Jimmy Quinn as city sealer of Chicago, then it will prove that Boss Burke's political star has gone down never to rise again. It is our opinion that Mayor Harrison will never dispense with the services of the present city sealer to please Boss Burke, for James A Quinn is clean and honest and he reflects credit upon the Harrison administration. Another row occurred in the South End Sunday Club, which meets at St. Mark's church, last Sunday afternoon. It appears that Saint Bulldozing Emmerich, Rev. Slim Peters and Dam Pious Webster were the cause of most of the trouble, and for the many disgraceful and disgusting scenes which were witnessed by those who were so unfortunate to be present. It seems that many members of the club were in favor of suspending Emmick, Webster and Peters from serving on committees for three months as a punishment for their ungentlemanly conduct in the past and that, as far as we can learn, started the fight, and while the lie was passing between the combatants and while much vile language was being used right in the presence of women and children, Rev. John F. Moreland, who was ready to address the club, felt that his life was in danger and beat a hasty retreat from the church, and the meeting came near ending in a rough and tumble fight. Hereafter the South End Club should be known as the South End Prize Fighters' Club. SAYINGS OF THE SAGES. Nothing is so infectious as example.—Charles Kingsley. Observe your enemies, for they first find out your faults.—Antisthenes. The less heart a man puts into a task the more labor it requires.—Amiel. Contentment consisteth not in adding more fuel but in taking away some fire.—T. Fuller. If there is any person to whom you feel dislike, that is the person of whom you ought never to speak.—R. Cecil. SPECIAL NOTICE. The leading article in The Broad Ax next week will be on Mrs. Sublett and Mrs. Brown of Quinn Chapel. NOTICE. The next issue of The Broad Ax will contain a "red-hot" or a "sizzling" article on Mr. Robert E. Burke and Mr. Fred E. Eldred.

He shies stones at the one that belongs to his neighbor and feeds his own on beefsteak and smiles at his innocent spirits when he happens to bite a pound of fresh leg out of a friend. Many men think that their wife is a millstone around their necks. They don't think it because they suppose that they could do more and better work if they was not married, but because they guess that they could do less. Most men that think this couldn't do less, but they don't believe it. Many a man views his wife as he would a life preserver that has been thrown to him. It may be a inferior article but it's a great thing to clutch tight at the time. After he has changed his wet clothes and swallowed a hot toddy he reconsiders his hasty impulse to give $5 to the man that saved him and figures that $3 will do. If it was his wife he would save the $3. Man will apologize to his wife for his small income a week after marriage and three years after will threaten divorce because she don't save money out of it and also keep up the supply of collars without frayed edges. A collar with a frayed edge is a great test of the male sense of humor, and none has been known to pass it. This is mostly because the frayed collar hurts his own neck and not somebody else's. MAXIMS FOR THE MARRIED. The tight cord is the easiest to snap. If you save, save at your own expense. If you take liberties, be prepared to give them. Permanent mutual respect is necessary for a permanent mutual love. There is only one thing worse than quarrels in public. That is caresses. Money is not essential to happiness, but happy people usually have enough. So save some. The man who respects his wife does not turn her into a mendicant. Give her a purse of her own. The easiest way of saving is to do without things. If you can't, then you had better do without a wife. In all matters of money prepare always for the worst and hope for the best.—From "A Duet," by A. Conan Doyle. J. P. Morgan has promised to give away $25,000. That man will die poor yet. The St. Paul News calls Dr. Harper president of the Northwestern university. Leavenworth, Kas., has a city clerk named Przybylowicz. In order to keep the accounts straight the people call him "Robinson." Some day Uncle Sam will get tired of rowdyism in the Senate and do things. He is an old man of strong action when he gets started. We heard that catnip can make a cat-nap. The preacher should leave the element of long-windedness to the church organ. TAXES ARE THE STATE, COUN DRAINAGE and LINE Ground rents are sometimes due to an earthquake. Many proverbs are the wit of one and the wisdom of none. A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of book knowledge. Fortune sometimes favors a man for the purpose of destroying him. People who are always behind time ashould be fed on tomato ketchup. A good word in behalf of others costs you little and is worth much. Habits are like porous plasters—easy to asquire but hard to get rid of. It is easier to criticise the faults of another than it is to correct your own. Nothing is better than a good woman and nothing is worse than a bad one. Wise is he who knows where his knowledge ends and his ignorance begins. Rest is the sweet sauce that is dished up only in connection with hard labor. The average man takes more interest in what he suspects than what he knows. Taking a stout girl out riding in a light buggy is suggestive of a spring meeting. The logical deduction from many a so-called statement of facts is fully 100 per cent. Milliners' bills are the tax which the male sex has to pay for the beauty of the females. Many a girl's distant manner may be traced to the fact that she had onions for dinner. When you meet a man who is thoroughly content you see one whose ambition has gone to seed. Great thoughts deteriorate by passing through small mind*. Even the hurricane makes but sorry music when it attempts to whistle through a keyhole. The usual order of things is reversed in matrimonial warfare. First comes the surrender, then the engagement and last, but not least, the call to arms.—Chicago News. Don't imagine that all hair preparations are alike. Quite the contrary. Some never do what is claimed for them. The Original Ozonized Ox Marrow has been on the market for so long that there is no doubt it will do everything we claim for it. It is the most genteel preparation that any one can use on their hair. It is most delicately perfumed and when thoroughly rubbed into the scalp and well brushed through the hair it cannot fall to cure dandruff and make the hair straight, soft and beautiful. It invigorates the scalp producing new growth and stops the hair from falling out. Try a bottle and you will be sure to be pleased. Only 50 cents, express paid, to any address in the United States. Druggists also sell it. Address: Ozonized Ox Marrow Co., 76 Wabash Ave., Chicago, Illinois. Ask your dealer for Sunday Creek No. 18 HOCKING The best for domestic use For Sale by THE JONES & ADAMS CO.
