The Broad Ax

BROAD AX NOT VERY MANY BOOKS Are Found in the Homes of the Wealthy or the Representative Afro-Americans Residing in Chicago. NOT VERY M Are Found in the Wealthy or native Afro-African in Chicago Within the past five and a half years it has been our good fortune to visit the homes of the vast majority of the wealthy or the representative Afro-Americans of Chicago. Homes in which wealth, culture and elegance abides. It has been our pleasure to permit our extra large country feet to sink into Wilton and other expensive carpets and rugs which cost from three to ten dollars per yard. Numerous times we have squatted down in richly carved upholstered chairs which did not cost one cent less than $20 to $35, and we have sat on the edges of fine leather and red covered davenports which would knock any one's eye out for one hundred dollars. Frequently we have in our country or old fashioned way feasted on the best in the land which was served to the Queen's taste, and the dishes used on such occasions were of the rarest of china. We have lightly sipped wine from golden lined goblets, many pieces of costly silver and golden ware have been observed by us ornamenting the elegant sideboards and china closets. We have gazed with open eyed wonderment at many other fine furnishings including Irish point lace curtains ranging from ten to twenty-five dollars per pair. On many occasions we have listened to classical music floating out on the midnight air, from elaborately carved Rosewood pianos, and have rubberied up against the cream, the wealthiest and the most fashionable representative Afro-Americans in this city. We have been presented to hundreds of lovely and beautiful ladies, many of them rigged up in low necked dresses with long trails which reached clear across the drawing room, which were cut right down to the waist line or so low that it often occurred to us "that possibly the fair doves or angels had failed to dress the upper part of their bodies. We have been knocked down to gentlemen attired in long pigeon tailed suits or coats, standing collars which almost came up to the top of their ears, and with their razor pointed patent leather shoes and other fine trappings have caused us to feel like one small potatoe in a hill. It has been extremely gratifying to us to witness so many signs of culture and progress on the part of the wealthy or the representative Afro-Americans of Chicago, for in every respect except one many of their homes will compare favorably with the homes of the wealthy or representative whites, and sometimes surpass their homes in rich furnishings, and in everything else with the single exception and that is, the wealthy and even the medium classes of whites believe in having plenty of good books and other interesting literature, such as magazines and so on, scattered throughout their homes and many of the whites will deprive themselves of some of the comforts of life in order to fill their homes with fine books, for they fully realize that no home, be it ever so small and humble, or large and elegant, is complete unless your eyes upon entering it can fall upon a nice selection of books, while on the other hand it pains us to say "that with very few exceptions we have not covered scarcely any good and wholesome books or other solid literature in the homes of the wealthy or the representative Afro-Americans residing in Chicago, where books can be bought much cheaper than in any other city in the United States. The wealthy or the representative Afro-Americans do not seem to comprehend the fact "that good books import an air of culture and refinement into homes which cannot become a part of those homes in any other manner." Right at this point we will bold- ly make this statement without the slightest fear of being contradicted, namely: "that it is impossible to find two hundred copies of the Late of Frederick Douglass, by Charles W. Chestnut, in the homes of the wealthy or the representative Afro-Americans of this city. That interesting and valuable little book which is written in the most fascinating and charming manner, and the other substancial literary productions of the race are seldom to be found in the homes referred to. What has been said in relation to not finding books in the homes of the wealthy or the representative Afro-Americans of this city, is mainly true respecting newspapers published in the interest of the race, for there are hundreds and hundreds of the representative Afro-Americans in all sections of this great city who never subscribe one cent a year towards supporting such papers, and whenever they ascertain that one of their neighbors has sufficient race pride to subscribe for The Broad Ax or some other wide awake race paper, many of these wealthy or representative Afro-Americans will flock to their neighbor's home for no other purpose but to read their "little Nigger newspaper," and after these spongers have perused it they will lay it down and remark that "we would not think about subscribing for the "little Nigger sheet" for there is no news in it any way and would not permit it to enter our home." Many of these wealthy or representative Afro-Americans will raise their front windows and holloa across the street to their neighbors who may happen to subscribe for The Broad Ax to "learn if there is anything in it about themselves or their preacher," and when they are informed that there is not, they will shout back in a loud voice, "The dirty little Nigger sheet never has any news in it!" Which is evident that the majority of these wealthy and representative Afro-Americans, are so vain glorious that they only want to read the sensational or trashy news or items in reference to themselves, that they have no taste for reading articles from which they can glean solid and substantial information. A WHITE GIRL CREATES A SENSA TION. In Applying for a License to Wed a Colored Man—Clerk Has the Shivers. Miss Dora Young, a white girl, 17 years old, who resides with her mother at No. 1339 South Mole street, created quite a sensation in Clerk Goebel's office Tuesday when she applied for a license to marry Charles Kellems, aged 28 years, who happened to be a colored man. The clerk refused to grant the license on the ground that the consent of her father had not been obtained. Mrs. Young, the girl's mother, made an affidavit that she had not seen her husband for more than four years and had no knowledge of his whereabouts, and that he had not contributed any money toward the support of his family. Mrs. Young was perfectly willing for her daughter to marry Mr. Kellems, so the license was granted, and now Miss Young is Mrs. Charles Kellems. She resides with her mother—The Tribune, Philadelphia, Jan. 6. A Charity Ball at $5.00 a couple is being arranged for during the month of May. The "Douglass Centre" is to be the beneficiary while the leaders of the "400" will be given an opportunity to blow themselves for fine gowns and charity. If you are not asked to be a patron, then you are not one of the "Swells." HEW TO THE LINE. MRS. LOUISE MONTGOMERY. P. D. M. N. G. of Household of Ruth, G. U. O. of O.

This city contains more colored churches, perhaps, than any other city in the United States. There are some of the most scholarly ministers connected with these churches and could no doubt, be of great service to the people if they would. Now, what has the Negro pulpit done to reform the morals of the city? If the colored ministers would work as hard to improve the moral condition of the people with whom they are identified as they do to build large churches and increase their salaries, what would the condition of their people be? The colored pulpit, with but a few exceptions, seem to disregard the morals of the people and seek to grasp for money only. There are not now over five or six colored churches in this city out of debt, and before one debt is liquidated another is created. The people are kept at the "grinding stone" from year to year, while pastors are either speculating or off on a frolic, if they contract a debt on their churches, they very often ignore the trustees, who are supposed to have charge of the church property and before the debt is paid the pastor receives a "rake off." The trustees of many churches seem to disregard the congregation's interests. Is this right? Can the people place any confidence in their supposed Christian pastor? Congregations allow their pastors too much power or power that they take without the authority of the church. The Negro pulpit is in need of reformation. Trustees of churches should be men of the highest integrity. In many instances where the trustees don't please the pastor he seeks to remove them. This is where congregations make the gravest mistake. The pastor then introduces politics in his church and resorts to some of the meanest tricks that would make Bowery politicians blush. Reform the Negro pulpit.-Washington Bee. Will Rev. Archibald James Wet Holy Ghost Carey please stand up and lead us in prayer? for he is the leading so-called preacher in Chicago who always delights in keeping his flock heavily in debt, and he will not permit any one to serve as an officer in his church unless they are willing to dance to his music in all things. It may not be true, but it is reported that when the jury in the Dr. A. Beatrice Schultz case returned a verdict of not guilty several weeks ago, that "Mrs. Edward H. Morris snatched Dr. Schultz's picture which was hanging on the walls in her beautiful Dearborn street home, and threw the picture in the waste basket." It is true, however, that Lady Morris in common with the rest of the smart ones, thought that in as much as Col. Morris "had failed to come up with the right thing while pretending to defend Dr. Schultz, that she was bound to land in the Pen at Joliet;" and they were more than disappointed when they learned that they had been barking up the wrong tree. ST. MARK'S L1TERARY. State Street, Near 47th Street. Last Sunday was a great day at the St. Mark Literary. The program was well rendered. Mr. H. C. Fox was the principal speaker, his subject was "We Should be More United." Mr. J. H. Meadows thoroughly charmed the audience by two beautiful baritone solos. The solo by Miss Marguerite Curry was also very good. Among the gentlemen who took part in the discussion were Messrs. Thomas Harris, Berry Lewis, J. T. Macklemore, and the pastor, Rev. J. W. Robinson. There was probably nothing more enjoyed than the review of the news of the week rea' by Mrs. Sadie Carter. Next Sunda' the program will be in charge of Women's Clubs of the City, eight clubs will be represented. The subject will be "How to Reach the Masses." Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay-Davis, National Organizer of Women's Clubs, will preside. A number of noted colored women will be present and take part in the meeting. WHITE MAN RAPES HIS OWN DAUGHTER Steve Martin, a white man, is now resting in jail at Birmingham, Ala., charged with criminal assault on his sixteen year old daughter, Mary Martin, yet there seems to be no usual excitement or threats of lynching in the case. Martin is a white man and this fact alone is a sufficient guarantee of his continued life and probable liberty. Negroes are not the only ones charged with such crimes as Martin stands accused. Such crimes are said to be barbarities to which only ignorant black men resoft. Martin in addition to being white, is also said to be refined and well educated. In all probability the out side world will here no more about the case. Further developments and lurid news paper descriptions only occur in cases in which black men are involved.—Colorado Statesman. President Roosevelt has called a conference of all the leaders of his party in the South as well as Democrats, to meet with him in Washington, D. C., to assist him to outline his "Nigger Policy" for that section of the country, and the President glories in the fact that lately he has reappointed Luke Wright, a Negro-hating ex-rebel, of the South, as Governor of the Philippine Islands. He has also selected with a great flourish of trumpets the only living grandson of Stonewall Jackson as a cadet at West Point, and how many colored cadets has he chosen or placed in that institution? We wops all the colored Republicans will not break their necks to answer this question. Chas. S. Deneen became Governor of Illinois Monday. His Inaugural Address was full of good sound ideas. He is in favor of many needed reforms in conducting the affairs of this great State. THE WHITE MAN'S ATTITUDE Toward the Negro in the South is Most Revolting and Criminal—Many Strange Happenings in the South Lands. Although we may be called to record some very striking happenings in the midst of the most enlightened nation on the globe, and though sometimes most revolting in their nature, yet they are as criminal as they are inexcusable. Only a short while ago a highly educated and cultured gentleman of color was seated in a Memphis, Tenn., street car by the side of a beautiful octoroon miss, not at all to be known from a white woman. Her escort was engaged in earnest conversation with his lady friend while green-eyed white gentry looked on in the spirit of growing wrath. They could not believe otherwise but that this young girl was of the pure Saxon blood. Their blood warmed to fever heat; when, in a moment of madness, a half dozen white ruffians pounced upon the young Afro-American and beat him unmercifully. He pleaded for mercy but received a deeper wound. Fortunately the car stopped and the gentleman beat a hasty retreat into the darkness of the night. A dark skin white man, a millionaire from New Orleans, was seen riding through this same city in one of the street cars. His complexion awakened the curiosity of lookers because he too was seated by the side of a white woman, his wife. The occasion was evidently becoming serious. The features of this uncrowned prince were strictly caucasian, but the vicious whites would have no other belief than that the stranger was a Negro. A quiet whisper passed from ear to ear, and every eye was fixed upon puzzling to determine the gravity of the situation. The suspected victim seemed influxibly indignant and the fire which flashed from his eyes was significant of a devilish design. A voice was heard to ask, "Who is he?" and there came the response, "You CHIPS Since 1885 lynchings have occurred as follows, in the south, 2,499; west, 302; Pacific slope, 63; east, 11. Miss Etta Evans, of 4712 Langley avenue, will leave Chicago soon to reside in Bloomington, Ill. Mrs. J. L. Parks has been confined to her home for a few days on account of a sore foot. Mr. Edw. E.

Reed returned to the city Wednesday from Richmond, Va., where he spent the holidays in visiting with his aunt. Mr. and Mrs. R. A. J. Shaw are now housekeeping at 37th street and Forest avenue, where they will be at home to their many friends. Little Alderman Peter A. Wendling should be retired from the City Council this spring, for he is a light weight, a dead or a cold proposition. Former Alderman John T. Russell, who is one of the best business men in the Town of Lake can make a winning race for Alderman of the 36th Ward. Alderman F. I. Bennett, Chairman of the Finance Committee of the City Council, need not lay awake at nights figuring on how he can be returned to his old post in the council chambers for the people in the 7th ward have already decided to let Alderman Bennett make a home run for his money. MAN'S ATTITUDE ngro in the South olting and Crim-Strange Happen-South Lands. had better watch that white man and you had better let him alone." The farce ended; for it was Greek meeting Greek. It is a fact that white men quail in the presence of each other, yet are exceptionally brave when they have a poor Negro placed at their mercy. The facts prove that men are brave under certain circumstances and not so much under other conditions. But in the city of Milan, Tenn., we reach the climax of southern nonsense. In that city a congress of Negro teachers held their fifth educational anniversary. They invited the white principal of the city high school to address them. The white principal appeared and spoke for an hour. He was in one of his happiest moods. In his introductory remarks, he was most felicitous and dared to address these teachers as "Ladies and Gentlemen." But the phrase, "Ladies and Gentlemen," aroused the white element to mutiny and rage. The city press denounced the action of the white principal and poured out vials of wrath upon the head of a man whose harmless words were those of merest human kindness. A quarrel ensued throughout the community and it deepened with the wildest impulse against the principal who was in every respect in sympathy with his own people. The press prosecuted a bitter and persistent attack upon the white teacher, until he finally was called before the board of education and dismissed. All effort to adjust the matter and all pleading was in vain. The white principal presumed to call cultured and educated Afro-Americans "Ladies and Gentlemen" and for this he was persecuted, ostracised and exiled. And this is boasted American! "The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave," where even a white man is not allowed to teach pure ethics, is not allowed to say his soul is his own! —Cleveland, Ohio, Gazette A Negro laborer by the name of Ellis saved the statue of Frederick the Great in Washington, D. C., from being blown to pieces by an infernal machine Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. James Clark, 4747 Dearborn street, were stormed with a surprise party last Thursday eve, Jan. 5. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. V. B. Clemens of St. Louis, Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Coltom, Miss Mamle k. Clemens, Mrs. R. B. Davis, Mr. Robt. Cannon, Mr. Chas. Lindsay, Mr. Upshaw McCoy, Mr. W. M. French, Whist and music was the pleasure of the evening. A delightful repast was served and later on in the evening they were senaded by Prof. Levi's Picaninny Band. President Roosevelt is making great preparations for his swing around the circle in the south and that half savage hyena, John T. Graves, claims that the rough riding President has already become more popular in that section of the country, than the late lamented William McKinley, and the Afro-American Republicans know how McKinley sold them out and favored their disfranchisement in the South, in the interest of commercialism. The great Charity Ball given at the Auditorium Thursday evening, which was planned or gotten up by Mrs. Potter Palmer, was a very grand affair. More than thirty thousand dollars was realised for charitable purposes, and at the same time it enabled the Ladies to show their fat or well shaped forms and to display their costly diamonds and other fancy, some of which was bought by their millionaire husbands by robbing in one way or another those who are supposed to receive the proceeds of the Charity Ball.

Thibetan Superstition A queer bit of Thibetan superstition came to light when the much-talked-of treaty between Thibet and England was drawn up. The powers at Lhassa refused to sign the first draft of the treaty because it covered several sheets of paper, so the treaty had to be engrossed on one huge sheet. The orientals thought it would bring them bad luck if they put their names to anything which covered more than one page.

Hard on the Stomach This is the way the chief of the Paris laboratory puts it: "When a man takes milk for breakfast preserved with formaldehyde, when he eats at luncheon a slice of ham kept good by borax, with spinach or French beans made green with sulphite of copper, and when he washes all that down with half a bottle of wine cleared with an excess of plaster of paris and that for 20 years, how is it to be expected that such a man can have a stomach?"

A friend writes us an interesting account of a dog brought from Plymouth, Mass., to Cambridge, Mass., some 40 miles, says the Rochester Post-Express. He was kept tied up two days, then untied, and started for his old home in Plymouth, where he arrived safely. This is one of the thousands of similar cases, in some of which the dog has traveled hundreds of miles. We remember one in which the dog traveled up the Mississippi river from New. Orleans to a northwestern state. What sort of a compass dog carry has never yet been ascertained. White Potato Pudding Wash and peel four good-sized white potatoes, grate them up fine and put them in a dish with one quart of milk; set this over a gentle fire and stir until well scalded; beat four eggs and mix one cupful of sugar with them, and stir into one quart of cold milk, one teaspoonful of salt, a small lump of butter and half a grated nutmeg, or ground cinnamon, if you prefer; mix this with the potato and pour into a deep dish, which has been buttered, and bake four hours.—Boston Budget.

In fact, the records show that only at Washington's first inaugural and at those of Thomas Jefferson, An- drew Jackson and R. B. Hayes, a ball ‘has always been given. Just prior tothe celebration of Washington's second in- auguration in Philadelphia the follow- ing card was issued which serves as au- thority for this form of inaugural fune- tions: “The members of the senate and of the house of representatives of the Unit- ed States are respectfully invited to a all on the 4th of March, to be given by the dancing assembly in honor of the unanimous reelection of George Wash- ington, the president of the United States; the anniversary of the present form of government of the United States and a parting leave with the members Of the present congress.” ‘The first inaugural ballin Washing- ton was held on March 4, 1809, in honor of President Madison. It was given at Long's hotel and was a grand affair, at- tended by ex-President Jefferson and the foreign ministers. Some 400 took Part in the ball, although Mrs. Madison did not dance. For many years the in- augural ball was held in prominent ho- tels or public halls. Sometimes two or three balls were given on the nightof the ‘mauguration. Temporary buildings ‘were used for balls on the inagural days of President Taylor, President Pierce, President Buchanan and on the second inaugural of President Grant. Grant's first inaugural dance was held inthe north wing of the treasury department. This was a very crowded place, and it is re- corded that Horace Greely had to wait two hours before he secured his old white overcoat, and he “swore a good deal in the oddest and most miscellane- ous style.” ‘The custom of holding the ball in the pension office building began with Cleveland's first inauguration. It is likely that the caming ball will be held dm the same building. Aristocracy in the House.

These commit. tees are those on rules, appropriations, ‘ways and means, and judiciary. When 2 member is assigned to any one of these esirable committees he is looked upon ‘as 2 house aristocrat and is an object of doth admiration and envy. The honor of these positions is felt more in Wash- ington than anywhere else, as = con- gressman’s constituents do not, asa rule, appreciate the fine distinctions that ob- tain in the house organization. In fact, & member who has been made chairman ‘of an obscure committee, one that has nothing to do and never meets, would be regarded by his folks at home as a much more important personage than if he ‘were to be given a position on the com- mittee on appropriations. ‘There are 62 committees in the house, and the majority of them are only known by thelr names. A great many of them never hold a session, but comfor- table committee room is provided for them, and there the chairman is located, virtually enjoying a well-furnished pri- vate office and reception room where he ean meet and entertain friends. ‘To become a member of the house aris- tocracy means that the congressman must be a. man of fores andability. The committee on rules is probably the high- est, as in this small body under the pres- ent system is lodged the real power of legislation. When anything is to be put through the house that does not have the right of way under the regular rules, a special rule is reported from this com-_ mittee. It consists of but five members, the chairman being the speaker of the house. Besides the chairman there are two majority and two minority mem- bers. It can be easily guessed that the. speaker and the two majority members Gominate the committe. _ Booster Invades Capitol.

Col Hepburn ordered the bird caught and dispatched, but some one told him that it was an Iowa bird, sent Here to cele- brate the republican victory. “If that is 80,” said Hepburn, “just kick him gently; don’t wring bis neck, and then drive him down to the com- mittee on merchant marine and fish eries and let Gen. Grosvenor hear him grow.” The bird on being ariven out of his Tefuge, scuttled downstairs to Speaker Cannon's room, but found that states- man had gone to his home in Illinois. He then darted into the house lobby and finally into the house itself, where he perched himself on the desk of Gen. Bingham, the father of the house, and emitted another patriotic shriek. From that point of vantage he fiew to the speaker's chair, and was just preparing to give a sample of his vocal ability when he was captured by an active page, and now confines his songs of triumph to Sergeant-at-Arms Caseon’s back yard. ‘The Swayne Impeachment Trial.

Florida, In some a ways this will bs XK the most spectacular performance that has been witnessed in the halls ofcon- gress for many years. There has been no impeachment trial since that of Sec- retary of War Belknap, in President Grant's last administration. There has been no impeachment of a federal judge since that of Judge Peck in the famous trial of 1830. ‘The matter-of-fact bus!- ness methods of the present day con- gress will rob this trial of its most sen- sational features, as was shown when the committee of the house notified the senate the other day that the house im- peached Judge Swayne. This notifica- tion required about three minutes and created scarcely a ripple in the senate proceedings. Those who havein thelr mind the most noted of impeachment trials—that of Warren Hastings by the English parlia- ment, will be disappointed in the coming trial of Judge Swayne; but there will still be enough of the unusual to attract much interest and attention. In former trials, in the early days of the govern-| ment, the senate chamber was appropri- ately draped and the old ceremonials ad- hered to. To-day the senate will hanale the case more as amatter of routine business. Judge Swayne will be present. elther personally, or by counsel, and there will be a committee of managers on the part of the house, who will con- duct the trial, much as a cases tried in court. Noted men were engaged in former im- peachment trials. James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, afterwards president of the United States, was one of the man- agers on the part of the house in the case against Judge Peck. In the impeach- ment proceedings against President An- drew Johnson, James F. Wilson, of lows; Henry L. Dawes, of Massachu- setts; Charley Sumner, Senators Conk- ling, Morton, Ben Wade, of Ohio; Ben- jamin F. Builer, and other statesmen of rreat fame were engaged. ‘Buckwheat Cakes and ‘Lases.

The old-fashioned New Orleans molasses and clear sirup bave gone out of fashion somewhat, but the taste for the juice of the cane is now liable to be revived on account of the use of the article by the president of the United States. Senator Proctor, of Vermont, is a Iit- tle jealous of the efforts to popularize the treacle from the south, as he wants the genuine, old-fashioned maple sirup from the granite hills of his state to hold first place in the affections of the off- cials in Washington.

All Kinds of Hand-Made Things Now Much in Esteem, Especially Fine Needlework. Needlework as an art has long been despised, but is now being revived.

Hand-embroidered and crocheted, knitted or netted lace, Jasts for years, and puts the machine- made imitations to scorn. With clever fingers a very little money suffices to render @ house beautiful, and the pleasure derived from the work of one’s hands is priceless. Curtains of serge or velveteen may be trans- formed into splendor by embroidery and stitchery. Tablecloths that would cost ten times the money in a shop can be made end embellished at home. Pretty underclothing is a necessity to every nice girl, and it is prettiest when she makes it herself in dainty shapes and with fine trimmings of frills, lace or.embroidery. A girl never looks sweeter than when occu- pied with a feminine handicraft. Then there are the poor. “Blessed are they which consid the poor.” If girls knew with what delight tired mothers of the people buy cheaply good and beautiful clothes for their bairns and themselves, there would be more ladies’ handicraft clubs. These clubs are formed by a number of girls who meet one afternoon or evening at a member's house or the clubroom and work for the poor. No garment or article is given away. The workmen's wives ané mothers pay a low price for each, covering the cost of the material. The club members give the time and work. ‘The garments are simple, but beautiful in shape and make, the aim being to show that plain clothing need not be ugly or gaudily vulgar. Handicraft clubwork is not limited to the needle. Small bookshelves and cupboards, fret work, poker work, leather work, curtain work, ribbon work, bent-iron, metal and bead work, are all useful. Pretty jabots are made from fine lace handkerchiefs. Gilt threads are used with good effect im embroidering white linen collar and belt sets. Pretty plaited waists of sea-green al- bdatross figure among the least expensive diouses. ‘The new-old and exquisitely beautiful ribbon embroidery appears on collars, cuffs, belts, bags and gowns.

Use of Niagara Falls for Generating Electricity Stirs Other Coun- tries to Action. ‘The lecson of the use of Niagara falls for generating electricity has Deen put to worldwide application, says the New York World. Through- out the world falling water, according to & paper read before the British association by Mr. Campbell Ewinton, yields to man’s use an energy equal to 1,483,390-horse power, of which Great Britain figures for only 11,906-horse power. The British Aluminum com- pany gets 7,000-horse power from the falls of Foyers and it expects present. ly to procure 17,000-horse power — Loch Leven. The North Wales Elec- tric Power company is about to tap Lake Liydaw, on Snowdon, and hopes to obtain 8,200-horse power for every | working day of nine hours. Finally, the Scotch Water Power syndicate is peering round in quest of wafers that it can imprison at lofty levels and so generate electric power. From Loch | Sloy, 757 feet above Loch Lomond, it | is going to get 6,600-horse power, and at Ardiui. higher up, it proposes to get further energy. Even a modest stream that drops several hundred feet may be a source of power. UMBRELLA A WIRY THING. If Not Attached to Owner by a Chain It May Disappear with an Entire Stranger. Umbrellas are proverbially a hard thing to keep, says the Illinois State Journal. They have such a way of making up with an absolute stranger and walking away with him. No mat- ter how much a man may be attached to an umbrella, if it is not attached to him with a chain he may as well bid it an affectionate farewell when- ever he puts it down in a corner and turns away to transact some business. However, this rule, hard, fast and in- flexible as it 1s, does not apply un- less the umbrella is new and shiny and cost more than 39 cents at retail. To keep an umbrella on down through the years and have it on hand to will to your grandchildren, select one with a cracked handle and’a hole in the cover as large as a boilermaker’s hand. Then you can’t lose it, or if you do after repeated attempts a small boy will be around at your door with it in the morning claiming a reward for his honesty. JAPAN AS: OUR CUSTOMER. England and the United States Are Favored in Trade of the In- sular Country. According to an article in the Ger- man Export Review, quoted in the consular reports, the materials needed for shipbuilding are bousnt in Eng- jand. Even big ships built for Japan in Germany years ago were ordered to Armstrong's in England for their armament. Recently Krupp and the French firm of Schneider are preferred. ‘The fact that England and the United States are favored is showp by the purchase of material for the Yokohama waterworks. In calling for bids it was Provided that the cocks come from England and the water meters from ngland or the United States, the names of firms even being specified. Locomotives for the railroads in Japan and Korea are bought .exclusively ip the United States, presumably because they are more quickly obtainable there. The friendship for the United States is increasing. SUSY LAKE SEASON ENDS. More Traffic This Year on Great Bodies of Water Than Ever Before. “The great lakes are about to see the close of one of the busiest seasons they have ever known,” said a lake captain in the Washington Post. “A large number of immense new vessels were added to the carrying fleets this year, but the increase in capacity was ‘ot sufficient to meet the increased de- mand. No vessel, no matter of what class, ever had to be without « cargo. One of the big steel vessels of to-day carries as much as 25 or 30 vessels of the type in use @ few years ago, and they make their trips in about one- fourth or one-fifth the time. Why, .. we had to depend on the old-timers, the great lakes would have to have more ships, numerically, than there are on all the seas in the world.” THEATER ON MOUNTAIN TOP Opera House at Thale, Germany, Is the Most Novel Resort in the World.

Tne theater is on the summit of a mountain, ‘and is surrounded on all sides by steep rocks; the seats for the audience are hewn out of the rock and accommodate 1,000 persons, and.the stage, which is also hewn out of the rock, is $0 feet long by 54 feet wide. No artificial scenery is used, but the background is formed by the dense forest and by the outlines of the mountains in the distance. The dressing-room for the actors is close at hand in the forest, but completely hidden from the audience. The theater is fully protected from the wind, and its acoustle properties are 0 excellent that every word is heard. ew Bermars Deservinc, “T have never known a deserving case of street begging.” was the remarkable statement Sir Eric A. Buchanan, sécre- tary of the London Mendicity society, made the other Gay. WAYS TO\KILL MILK CERM. ery There Are Many of Them, But the Bacteria Crushing Machine Is Last. | Many ways of killing the bacteria in milk have from time to time been suggested. recent and ingenious way is to crush the bacteria to death by pressure, as a man crushes an in- sect under the pressure of his boot. “A bacteria-crushing machine,” said ® chemist, “nas been built and tried with partial success. This machine is capable of putting forth a hydrostatic pressure of 450,000 pounds to the square inch. Milk has been squeezed, under it till the bacteria howled for) mercy. Seriously, milk has received) at the hands of this machine a pres- sure of 90 tons. The effect of a pres-| Sure 80 enormous was to make the) milk keep longer—it kept for five, six| and seven days. This showed that) some of its bacteria, Sees bacteria at least, had been led. But! though the milk remained sweet it be- gan to emit finally a strange, new odor and it had a strange, new taste. This showed that other bacteria in It had not been harmed. Prof. Wiley’s polson| ‘squad's tests have proved that preserv- atives in milk are harmful. A pressure of 70 tons preserves milk for three or four days and there is no strange odor or strange taste. Maybe before long chemicals: as a preservative of milk will be succeeded by pressure.” MUSIC AS A THERAPEUTIC. Mental and Physical Ills May Be Relieved by Its Aid—One Example of Use. Much assistance fs in many instances to be derived from the intelligent use of musie, either vocal or instrumental, as a therapeutic adjunct. Melancholia, insomnia, hysteria, family affliction, business reverses, delirium, pain, fatigue, mental or physical, will all be helped by the beneficial influence of music, rightly used. As a post-opera- tive measure {t would have an un- doubted influence for good in taking the patient's mind from his bodily distress. So, also, could “painless” dentistry be Telieved of some of its pain and distress by the quieting influence of music, which would, as has been amply demon- strated, produce a pleasanter mental in- fluence curing the administration of nitrous oxide or other anaesthetic. A German writer recently stated (Kebru- ary, 1904), that in a number of test cases in which music was provided dur- ing the administration of the anaesthet- ic there was an absence of distress and resistance on the part of the patient: also an absence or reduction of the post-operative nausea under the same| circumstances. To be advantageous the| nature of the composition must be care- fully selected with a view to the neéds| of the individual case, and the execution must be as nearly faultless as possible. | UNNECESSARY DISTINCTION Expressions “By and By” and “By the Bye” Are Cause of Argu- ments as to Origin, The two expressions “by and by” and “by the bye” are really derived from the same original word, and the words “by” and “bye” have the same general sense. But the spell- ing “bye” has long been used in the second of these phrases, without any real reason for the change, de- clares St. Nicholas Magazine. We should not speak of a bye-law or a bye-path, and yet many are careful to write “by the bye” and “by and by.” In “good-bye” there might be some reason for keeping the final “e,” since it stands for the word “ye” in the shortened form of “God be with ye;" but where so much has been. ‘dropped the “e” is hardly worth keep- ing, especially as the old meaning is seldom recalled. ’ MUSIC A GOOD STIMULANT. Experiments Prove That Melody Acts on Heart Thus Causing Rapid Breathing. ‘The experiments of Ginet and Cour- tier were conducted with a view to de- ‘termining the effect of music upon breathing and upon the action of the heart, writes Gustay Kobbe, in Good Housekeeping. It was found that lively major chords, without relation to melody, quickened breathing. Mel- odies, grave or gay, caused rapid (breathing, the respiration approximat- ing its time to that of the music. Rallentando and diminuendo effects made the breath come more slowly. Single notes without tune accelerated the heart’s action, but melodies quick- ened it still more, operatic pieces re- sulting in the quickest action. These ‘experiments would seem to show con- clusively the stimulative effect of music. - ‘Would Seek North Pole. According to British sources, the duke of Orleans has applied to the Nor- wegian government for permission to hire Dr. Nansen's ship, the Fram, for the purpose of an arctic expedition next year. A Norwegian newspaper states that the admiralty will propose as conditions of the arrangement that Otto Sverdrup shall captain the ship, that the plan for the expedition shall be sanctioned by the Norwegian author- ities, and that the University of Caris- tiania shall bave the benefit at least in part of the scientific results of the ex- aatttien Jackies Join Christian Endeavor. Forty-one of the jackies on board the battleship Ohio, at San Francisco, have become charter members of a Christian ‘Endeavor society, which was organized em the ship on October 21. Mrs. Anna L. Newby, 2628 Wabash avenue, has two nicely furnished rooms which she will rent reasonably to married couples or to single gentlemen. Alderman Silas F. Leachman, who will be re-elected to the city council this spring from the 27th ward, has recovered from his severe spell of sickness and he is again able to hustle for his constituents. Col Noah D. Thompson presented his better half, Mrs. Thompson, with a New Year's present consisting of a solid silver back hair brush, comb and mirror, with her monogram engraved on each article. Hon. Frank D. Comerford, as chairman of the Steering Committee in the Legislature at Springfield, Ill., is in a position to perform valuable service in behalf of the new charter for the City of Chicago. Alderman Bill Dever, is thinking about becoming a candidate for Mayor of Chicago, but if he should get the nomination he would have no more show in being elected than a colored man has in going to heaven, and The Broad Ax would not do a thing to him for he is too cheap in every way to be Mayor of Chicago. Katherine McGoarty, a white woman of Philadelphia, has brought an action for "breach of promise" alleging damages of $5,000, against her Negro lover, John W. Holland, Jr. Holland, who is a waiter, makes the usual defense of "difference in race, religion and social position." Harry McCullough, a white gentleman of Quincy, Ill., and Miss Cordelia Morris, a colored lady of Mexico, Mo., as lovers, applied to the County Clerk at St. Louis last week for a marriage license but they were turned down cold by Deputy Clerk Stocker, but as they dearly loved each other they were fully determined to procure license elsewhere. John M. Harlan will be nominated by his party leaders for Mayor of Chicago, and many of his warm friends and supporters are willing to give us a front seat in his band wagon if we will promise not to shout for Judge Edward F. Dunne, who has an itching desire to run the mayor's office, and also the courts of this city and county. One of the would-be leaders of the South Side Smart Set sports a diamond pointed hat pin which was presented to her by Dr. Schultz and the Smart Set leader is greatly pained because Col. A. D. Gash acted fair with Dr. Schultz and did not permit her to be railroaded to the Penitentiary. In referring to those last week who were greatly interested in the success of the Ninth Anniversary edition of The Broad Ax, we failed to mention Eddie N. Elm, who separated all the chips correctly and put in all the corrections; and Miss Irene Cassin, who was very careful to see that each and every paper was folded and mailed properly. The Chicago Broad Ax came out this week in a new anniversary dress of eight pages on fine book paper with a large number of cuts of Chicago leading colored business and professional men. It is well arranged. The Broad Ax has struggled for nine years and we hope now that its trial period is over and she will be numbered as a fixture in the White City.—The Bystander, Des Moines, Iowa. REMOVAL NOTICE. Mr. Edward E. Wilson, attorney-at-law, has removed his office from 185 Dearborn st., to the Quincy Building, 113 Adams street, Room 380.

Where Kiss Insults The women of Finland regard a kiss on the lips as the greatest insult to which they can be subjected, even from their husbands. London Strand. About 88,000 people pass along the street in the course of every working day. Motor Cars in Germany. The Berlin correspondent of the London Standard reports an interesting legal tangle for owners of motor cars in Germany. According to a law passed in 1901, a motorist can be punished for allowing his car to give off too great a smell of benzine. A German automobilist was fined for this offense recently, and appealed to a higher court. It has now been decided that punishment for such an offense can only be meted out "when the smell of the benzine is so great as to force passers-by to take to another road than that used by the automobilist in question." Great Jap Warrior. When P-ince Fushimi and Justice Holmes, of the United States supreme court, met in Washington the judge said, jokingly: "I suppose the emperor sent you over here because he was afraid you would get killed unless he prevented you from fighting any more?". The famous Jap fighter replied, seriously: "Well, in the Chinese war I was really apprehensive of getting a bullet, because I wanted to live to achieve something, but now I am ready; I do not care; I felt no apprehension." -Chicago Chronicle. The Gypsum Industry. There has been a great advance in the gypsum industry of the United States in recent years, the output for 1903 having exceeded 1,000,000 tons. The expansion has resulted mainly from the increased demand for gypsum wall plasters, which have almost entirely supplanted the ordinary lime plasters for modern structural purposes. A very large quantity is used also in the manufacture of plaster of paris and as fertilizer.—Engineering and Mining Journal. Cattle of England. A herd of aboriginal, wild white cattle, which has been confined for nearly 700 years in Chartley Park, Staffordshire, England, on the hereditary estate of the earl Ferrers, is to be sold. The park, consisting of 900 acres, is to be divided up. The herd has numbered as many as 43, but numbers now only nine. It was shut up in 1248. Batter Steak. Cut one pound of steak into small pieces and put into a well-buttered baking dish, season to taste, make a batter of one egg, one cup of flour and one pint of milk; beat the egg light, add the milk and a little salt and beat up light and pour over the meat; bake about one hour.—Chicago Post. How. Indeed? "That fellow Potter, you know, thoroughly believes that we all 'become what we eat.'" "But he's a vegetarian." "Of course." "Then, how does he explain how he became such a lobster?"—Philadelphia Press. How the Cotton Market Is Ruled. The error of a telegraph operator caused a decline of the New Orleans cotton market lately. It's getting so that anything except the actual supply of cotton can play the mischief with the cotton market—Atlanta Journal. Servant Question. The servant question has reached such a crisis in Germany that the housekeepers of Hamburg have decided to start a school for the training of domestics, in the hope that a free education in cooking and waiting will attract a better class of recruits. Spent in Mountain Climbing Numbers of Englishmen spend the Christmas holidays mountain-climbing in Cumberland; and a Christmas gathering of climbing men at Wasdale Head, near 3,162-feet-high Scafell, is every year regularly observed. Gone with Dueling With the evil of deeling it is certain that we have abandoned at least a little good. The pink of courtesy, the fine sense of breeding—these have almost disappeared with the duel. — London Saturday Review. Two Cents Left. A western national bank that failed left two cents in the safe for the bank examiner. Its president was one of the leading orators on safe banking at the last State Bankers' convention. Poorest Railroads The French provincial railroads are among the poorest in the world. Some of the cars are several decades old, and on one line not long ago the floor gave way and the car literally fell to pieces. Odd Prison Lessons Photography lessons for prisoners says the report of the prison commissioners for Scotland, have been attended with very successful results. Drowned by Boots It was declared at Edinburgh recently that more fishermen were drowned from the custom of wearing long boots than by all the storms. Hot Gold Mines. The heat in some gold mines is so intense that ice, if dropped into them, would melt before reaching the bottom. Tax Theater Passes San Francisco has adopted the plan of taxing each theater pass ten cents for the benefit of the Actors' Home. Where Money Falls. One realizes the impotence of money when he tries to pay love.—Chicago Tribune. Cross-Channel Swimming. A novel cross-channel swimming race from Calais to Dover has been promoted by the Belgian Swimming Federation for a challenge cup, to be known as the cross-channel cup. The competition is open to the world for teams of five amateur swimmers. The first of each team would swim as far as possible across the channel. The second man would then take up the task, and would be followed by the others in turn. The team whose man first reaches shore would win the cup. The race is to take place in July or August. Two on the Druggist. Two men went into a Boston drug store and told the proprietor they had made a soda water bet and would have their sodas now, and when the bet was decided the loser would drop in and pay for them, if that would be satisfactory to the druggist. He answered that it would, and after the sodas had been enjoyed, he asked: "By the way, what was the bet?" "My friend, here," said one of the men, "bets that when Bunker hill monument falls it will fall toward the north, and I bet it won't."—Argonaut. To Guess Any Number. This is done by multiplying the last number by two. Ask one to think of an even number. Tell him to triple it, halve the product, triple this half, then tell you how many times nine goes into it, and you will tell the original number. Suppose eight to be the number. Triple this, and the result is 24. Halve this, making 12. Again tripling this gives 36, into which nine goes four times. This four times multiplied by two gives eight, the number originally thought of. Marriage. By a happy ending most people mean marriage. Well, isn't marriage often an unhappy beginning instead of a happy ending? Yet it is the sad truth, patient to every writer to-day, that if he keeps his characters of story or drama away from the altar he sacrifices the opportunity of multiplying his income five times, and is often driven to it through poverty. It is a great temptation to set up as a marrying parson.—I. Zangwill, in N. Y. Sun. Loss in Cargo. When the German ship Siefahrer arrived at San Francisco the other day from Antwerp her cargo was short, 5,000 pounds of canary seed. The loss was laid to the rats, but the United States district court has decided that the rats could eat only about 1,000 pounds in the time they had, and the Siefahrer was condemned to pay for the rest. On Wooden Rails. There are still several wooden railways in existence in Canada and the United States. One of them is in the province of Quebec, and is 30 miles long. The rails are of maple, and trains are run over them with remarkable smoothness at the rate of 25 miles an hour. This road is used for the transportation of timber. Great Assurance Two and a half years ago a man mysteriously disappeared from Pontarsu, south Wales, leaving horse and cart he had been driving in charge of a lad. The whole country was searched, but no trace of him could be found. On November 25 he appeared to claim $60 due him as wages. He had been to America. Belgium's Suffrage Law. Under the Belgian law, unmarried men over 25 have one vote, married men and widowers with families have two votes, and priests and other persons of position and education have three votes. Severe penalties are imposed on those who fail to vote. Whale's Products. The profit from a single whale that is captured is very large. One about 59 feet long weighs 140,000 pounds, and will give 60,000 pounds of blubber, from which 48,000 pounds of train oil can be made, and 3,000 pounds of whalebone. Hard. Very Likely.
