The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX RACE RIOTING IN CHICAGO The Police Without the Slightest Interference on Their Part Permitted White Citizens to Erect a "Dead Line" at 27th Street and Wentworth Avenue For the Afro-Americans. RACE R IN CHI The Police Wit est Interferen Permitted W Erect a "Dea Street and We For the Afro-A Last Saturday evening near 27th street and Princeton avenue, race riots broke out in dead earnest and they continued in and near that vicinity all that night, all day Sunday and Sunday night. It appears that shortly after 6 o'clock on Saturday evening, while John Williams, his brother George Williams, and several other colored men employed by the Peabody Coal Company, were passing 26th street and Princeton avenue, a crowd of real white gentlemen 'attacked them, and after they had knocked them down, beat and kicked them in the face, and otherwise mistreated them, John Williams drew his revolver and fired into the rioters, and the result was that Bernard Engstrand, one of the ring leaders of the mob was so severely wounded that he was taken to Wesley hospital where he passed on into the next world with all his imperfections resting on his head. The remainder of Saturday evening crowds of half drunken white men experienced more pleasure in mobbing defenceless colored men, and in several instances the police throughout what is called the "Black District" made no effort to protect the colored people from the onslaughts of those composing the superior race. On Sunday morning, a number of white citizens erected a "Dead Line" across 27th street and Wentworth avenue, for all Afro-Americans. They had signs painted in large black letters, which were fastened on either side of the rope: "Negroes not allowed to cross this Dead Line," while that scene was being enacted, four or five stall-fed Policemen stood around and without the slightest interference on their part, they permitted the strike sympathizers and the race rioters to erect the "Dead Line" and by their silence and inactivity they encouraged crime and lawlessness. Throughout the South Side and even on the West Side, on Sunday, innocent and law abiding colored people were assaulted, spat upon, dragged from street cars and beat into sensibility by the striking teamsters, and their followers. A regular pitched battle took place between the two races in and in front of Ludwig Lewi's Saloon, 29th and Armour avenue, and before the riot ended Harry Bernstein, a bartender for Lewi, without any provocation whatever, according to many of the eye witnesses to the affray, shot and instantly killed a colored man by the name of James Gray. In the meantime Robert Tinsley, a colored Policeman, reached the scene and began shooting at Bernstein, one bullet struck him in the back, another hit him in the arm, breaking it and another wended its way into his groin. Officer Tinsley's bravery prevented a crowd of furious colored men from tearing Bernstein into a thousand pieces, who at the same time completely wrecked the saloon, and as its owner, Ludwig Lewi, and his friend, Newton Johnson, were escaping from the rear of his saloon, they were sat upon and beat and stoned by the colored men. Inspector P. J. Lavin, who is fair and liberal minded, justified the actions of officer Tinsley in shooting Bernstein, and Inspector Lavin has stated "that Tinsley's life was in danger, and he only did his duty in attempting to quell the disturbance, and he cannot be blamed for the part he took in the fight." Inspector Lavin deserves to be highly commended for standing by his brave colored officers. At Root and State streets a mob of white gentlemen ran into Charles Sneed, a colored man who was employed by Mrs. C. Northrup, 4231 Prairie avenue. They knocked him down and beat and cut him in the face very badly, and a crowd of ruffin Sunday school boys played football with his blood stained hat. No arrests were made by the police. Black Jack Taylor, a colored driver for the Peabody Coal Company, ran into three white gentlemen at 24th and Wentworth avenue. They ordered him to fall down on his knees but instead of doing so he pretended as though he would shoot them with his revolver. The three white gentlemen started on a dead run, and they ran into the outstretched arms of Policeman Kelly, who did not attempt to arrest them, but he lit out after Taylor, who did not have a gun when he was arrested by this supposed peace officer. Thursday, Frank Flint, 2302 Dear born street, a colored stationary fireman, was walking on Princeton avenue between 27th and 28th streets, minding his own business, and with out the slightest warning a crowd of white gentlemen rushed upon him. They broke his nose, and several ribs, kicked him in the face, and on the head with their heavy boots, and fractured his skull. Mr. Flint, who was not a strike breaker, but a peaceable hard-working citizen, was conveyed to Provident Hospital, and no arrests were made by the Police. The majority of the policemen in what is called the "Black District," for some cause or other, think they have no higher mission to perform than to arrest all colored men with fire-arms and to permit white men to go heavily armed, so that they can beat up and shoot the colored people down like Jack Rabbits, and if this state of affairs continues to exist there will be serious trouble between the two races, and much blood-shed before the teamsters' strike ends. Logic vs. Logic. Wrong cannot be good, nor evil be right. No better proof of the evil of a protective tariff can be offered than this fact that it is the infliction upon ourselves of what the enemy in war strives to do. The enemy tries to blockade our ports to make commerce difficult and costly. This compels us to manufacture ro ourselves. No sooner is peace declared than we pass tariff acts to blockade our own ports, and we do it more effectually than the enemy. It is a kind of suicide, strange how governments persist in crimes and blunders that private persons dare not and would not do. The time must come when under perfect enlightened and Christian rule governments shall be held to strict account the same as individuals. Then indeed will we love our enemies—then shall we indeed resist not evil and then too shall the lions lie down with the lambs beside them and not within them. C. L. HEW TO THE LINE. CHICAGO, MAY 27, 1905. PRESIDENT OF THE UNION EDWARD M. CUMMINGS. Late Candidate for Alderman of the 30th Ward, and the New City Gas Inspector of Chicago. Late Candidate for Alderman of the 30th Ward, and the New City Gas Inspector of Chicago. It is only in a figurative and exaggerated sense that there is any race war in Chicago. If the Negroes were as numerous here as they are in the south they would probably be treated worse than they are there, and we should have a race war in the literal sense, but at present all we have is a series of riots between whites and blacks, accompanied by murder, which are a disgrace to the city. It is possible that these disturbances have been occasioned by the Negroes who were brought to the city by the Employers' Teaming association, but they were only the innocent occasion of them, just as the apostle Paul's appearance in Ephesus was the occasion of the tumult involving the whole population. The Negroes came here to earn an honest living by honest work and they had just as much right to come to this city as President Roosevelt had. Most of these Negroes were peaceable and went about their work in the most orderly and well-behaved manner possible. It was not until scores of them had been frightfully beaten and several of them murdered that they showed any pugnacity. If they have even now exhibited any riotous inclinations it is because they have been slugged, stabbed and shot into resentment by white men. It follows that the blame of the so-called race war rests upon these white men and still more on the yellow newspapers of William R. Hearst, which have for several weeks past systematically incited them to violence. The white men referred to are the pickets and other members of the teamsters' union and the means by which they have been incited to assault, beat and kill these honest workmen are hideous pictures, the shameless falsehoods and the reckless denunciations of Hearst's newspapers. Without justifying in the least any act of violence of which these colored teamsters may have been guilty, we must say that there is nothing surprising in their lawless attitude nor in the riotous excitement that prevailed last Sunday among the colored people of Armour avenue. It is exactly what might have been expected from two scurrilous newspapers whose circulation is chieftly among Negroes and among white people who are a much lower class than the Negroes, and the worst of Negroes at that. The police department is entitled to great credit for the summary manner in which they put down the "race war" last Sunday, and we hope Mayor Dunne and Chief O'Neill will not feel hurt if we remark that it was in sharp contrast with the manner in which they utterly failed to put down the strike riots. Our police force is always brave and effective except when it is opposed by the labor union rioters and murderers.—The Chicago Chronicle. The Chronicle deserves the highest commendation for possessing the courage to speak the absolute truth in these exciting times, while racial prejudice is running very strong against all classes of colored people residing in this city. In the majority of cases the whites are to blame themselves for the unlawful acts and crimes committed on the part of the Negroes. For since 'he beginning of the teamsters' strike it has been impossible for any respectable colored man, woman or child to ride or walk in any section of the city without being grossly insulted and many times assaulted by that class of whites who claim to be educated and civilized. In many instances the police have stood idly by and permitted the so-called better element of the whites to assault colored people—to drag them from the street cars—to beat them up and otherwise mistreat them, simply to furnish them with amusement, and as long as some of the police encourage lawlessness on the part of the whites respecting the colored people; the only wonder is that more Negroes do not commit acts of violence and arm themselves to protect their wives, their children and their lives. Lastly, let the decent Afro-Americans from henceforth absolutely refuse to support in any manner, shape or form, such Negro-hating sheets as The Chicago American and The Chicago Tribune. One cent put at interest till it doubles on itself thirty times amounts to millions of dollars. A half a million dollars of gold lent by Rothschilds has doubled ten times and is now hundreds of billions. Only within the past thirty years has this usury developed till it is now a weird destroying monster in the control of that one house which sits behind the throne of the British Empire, its master, greater than the throne. While under a Republican administration we are hob-nobbing with the British and turning the cold shoulder to our old life long friend Russia. We are hypnotized by this golden syndicate's influence into oblivion as to the intolerable wrongs done us prior to 1812 and during our late Civil war by the British govt. To revive our memories we should read Madison's messages during his terms: "Never in all time did any nation endure so patiently for ten years such wrongs as have been put on us by that government, and that too, during a time The Great Devourer. of profound peace with it.. One thousand of our ships taken, thousands of our citizens captured and imprisoned and made to suffer every extremity—cruel savages on our frontiers hired to commit atrocities unsparkable on women and children, our petitions and remonstrances all in vain." And when the war came at last, all rules of civilized warfare were violated by her. Amid it all Russia was interfering to save us. And but for the fear of Russia, it must have gone harder with us—a poor, weak, young nation. And but for Russia's interference during the civil war when both France and England invaded our New York ports to force us into peace with the rebels. Who, then living and with every nerve thrilling with fear of the result in sympathy with freedom's cause, and learning of the invasion, did not bound with joyful relief at the news of the great Russian fleets pouncing in behind the sneakening oppressors and scurry them out? All summer and fall we feasted and flattered their gallant Russian tars. Go back to the days of 1863 and read in Harper's Easy Chair about it all and in other magazines of that day. As old England has ever held to Turkey to keep Russia out of the Atlantic, so now she is using the Japs to keep her from the Pacific. And we believe all the lies told about Russia by writers hired by British influences. Let us look at home a little before we believe all that are told of Russia. It has not been so long since we held millions in slavery ourselves. And the Homstead massacres, the Idaho and Colorado bull pens and shooting down of laboring people. Was not the blood red that ran over our flags and skirts? Perhaps not! Let us take the big timbers from both eyes. HOLT. Clarence S. Darrow Is Attorney For The Chicago American, Mayor Edward F. Dunne, and the Striking Teamsters. Clarence S. Darrow, at the present time, is the one man in Chicago who is between the devil and the deep sea, for he is the attorney for the Chicago American and as such he is closer to William R. Hearst than any other living man and if he was inclined, he could change the policy on the course of that "Nigger" hating sheet and breeder of race riots, anarchy and lawlessness in the twinkling of an eye. As the attorney for Mayor Dunne, Mr. Darrow could advise him to adopt a more vigorous policy in dealing with the striking teamsters and the lawless element which are backing them up, and either crush out or end the strike at once, or call out the state troops to handle the strikers and to fill every man full of lead and powder who participates in race riots and other unlawful acts in connection with the strike. And as the attorney for the striking teamsters and their leaders, he should advise them, that other people residing in this city, possess some rights which they should be taught to respect, even if it is necessary to resort to fire-arms in the hands of expert marksmen in order to shoot this idea into their heads. If, Mr. Darrow is actuated by a high sense of honor, it ought to be perfectly apparent to him that he cannot successfully serve three separate and distinct masters at the same time, and if he wants to continue to represent the striking teamsters and The Chicago American, which should be spurned aside by all respectable colored people, then let him cut loose from Mayor Dunne. Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, one of the last survivors of the anti-slavery days and struggles, and one of the leading advocates of Woman's Sufferage passed away at her home in Boston, Mass. Tuesday. Mrs. Livermore was an extraordinary remarkable woman. She was in her 84th year and in her long career before the public she knew no one by the color of their skin, nationality nor religion. Her whole life was bent upon doing good fo suffering humanity. Of all the women dead or alive, Mrs. Livermore stands out prominently among them all, who justly deserves the homage of the entire Afro-American race. No.31 CHIPS Mr. Wm.

Frank Wenter who so successfully managed Mayor Dunne's mayoralty campaign will be renominated and elected as a member of the trustees of the sanitary district. Every strange looking colored man you see on the street is not a "strike-breaker." Some of them are well-to-do visitors, who would like to patronize some of our impartial merchants. Mrs. Richard E. Moore, 2974 Wabash ave., has returned to her home after undergoing a successful operation at Provident Hospital by Doctor Daniel H. Williams. B. H. Johnson, 4846 Armour avenue, who has been wrestling with muscular rheumatism for sometime left Thursday evening for Hot Springs, Ark. where he will take a course of baths.

Mrs. Patterson was at one time the superintendent of nurses at Provident Hospital. Hon. Thomas A. Smyth deserves to be renominated and re-elected as one of the trustees of the Drainage Canal, for he has been a faithful public servant and he is a true gentleman every day in the week. Chief O'Neill and his able and efficient secretary, James M. Markham, were kept busy all day Thursday in swearing in extra policemen, and twenty to twenty-five colored men were among the number sworn in. Rev J. Madison Mason, 3627 Dearborn street, says "that The Broad Ax is growing better and better each week and that no other newspaper in this city contains such interesting articles and speaks out in such clear tones like unto this paper. THE BROAD AX Will promulgate and at all times uphold the trust principles of Democracy, but Catholic, Protestant, and secular canes, Knights of Labor, or any one else can have their say, so long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed.

Washington's school, Tuskegee, received diplomas at the commencement exercises Thursday, May 25. Rabbi A. J. Messing of Montgomery, Ala., preached the annual sermon. Drainage Canal Trustees Zina R. Carter, Joseph C. Braden, Frank X. Cloidt and William H. Baker, all Republicans, are more than likely to be renominated by the leaders of their party in the coming Republican County Convention. Lawyer J. Gray Lucas, 167 Dearborn street, accidentally fell from a street car at 35th and state streets on last Friday evening. He sprained or severely strained the muscles in his feet, and he is forced to walk with a cane. Mr. and Mrs. John Hagan, 5031 Shields avenue, lost their infant child Sunday, May, 21. It was born May 4. Convulsions was the immediate cause if its death. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs Hagan very much regret that the hand of death has removed their first and only child. Former Judge Philip Stein, Thomas M. Hoyne, Joseph A. O'Donnell, George Mills Rogers, Miles J. Devine and Col. A. D. Gash are being favorably mentioned by the wise politicians in connection with the nominations for Judges of the Superior and Circuit Courts. Without any puffing or blowing 145 students will graduate from Prof. W. H. Councill's school this year at Normal, Ala. As against 81 from Tuskegee, Prof. Booker T. Washington's school. This record between the two schools show that there is a screw loose somewhere. Mrs. M. C. Hogan, Cambridge, Mass., who beat the writer out of one dollar as six months subscription to The Broad Ax, and who should be classed among the Hairs and newspaper deadbeats, was recently elected President of the National Council of Colored Women's Clubs of the United States and Canada. Attorney S. A. McElwee, 119 LaSalle street, Room 60, has succeeded in working up a fine practice since coming to this city from Nashville, Tenn., some three or four years ago, and if he continues to forge to the front in the next two or three years he will be compelled to occupy a much larger suite of law offices. Mrs. Charles White, 5046 Armour avenue, gave an ice cream sociable Monday evening for the benefit of Central Baptist church. Her home was well filled with its friends and its pastor and founder, Rev. J. Madison Mason and family, were among those who joined in eating ice cream and cake. John E. Traeger, has been re-elected president of the central committee of the German-American Democratic Club of Chicago, and at its same meeting on Tuesday evening Frank Wenter was indorsed as a candidate for drainage canal trustee.

Rev. Samuel G. Wilson and his family, who formerly resided on Par The chances are that Judges Willard McEwen, Farlin Q. Ball, Marcus Kavanagh will be renominated by the Republican County Convention. But Judge Joseph E. Gary should be placed on the retired list and given a pension, for like the venerable Judge M. E Tuley, he is getting too old and feeble to keep up with the rush of business which is crowded into the courts of Cook County. The American Magazine published at 439 W. 35th street, New York City by The American Publishing Co., is very newsy, and as it is only 3 cents a copy or 25 cents a year, it should find its way into the home of every Afro-American. In order to introduce it in all sections of the country, its owners are offering it for one year and The Broad Ax for six months for one dollar. Prof. S. A. Coleman, the artist 2828 State street, has just completed painting a lifesize portrait in oil of Mrs. Walter Hill, the evangelist, who will soon open up a mission at 3927 State street. The portrait represents Mrs. Hill wearing her ministerial robes and an open Bible in her hand. The painting is very life like, and it is one of Prof. Coleman's masterpieces. John A. Ploner who has been one of Sheriff Barrett's right hand men, was at the meeting of the City Council Monday evening appointed City Oil Inspector by Mayor Dunne, and on the same evening Edward M.

Moseley, if you will send to our address over your own signature, the name of the married female who tore the mask from your handsome face, before it was time to unmask on the night of the masquerade ball given by the Appomattox Club, the latter part of February, we will extend your subscription to The Broad Ax for six months without it costing you one penny. Will you comply with our request Colonel Moseley? The newly elected officers of the Cook County Democracy are as follows: President, Thomas Gallagher. Vice presidents—Daniel J. McMahon, west side; Edward H. Morgan, north side; John E. Traeger, south side. Recording secretary—Robert E. Burke. Financial secretary—Albert Schonbeck. Treasurer—H. E. L. Doggett. Marshal—Gohn H. Colvin. Edward Gordon, Granville Harris, and John Tyler, three Negroes, have been held over to the grand jury, charged with murdering Enoch Carlson, and whether they are guilty or not of committing the crime, racial prejudice is so strong at the present time, that the chances are ten to one that they will be convicted and that they will be hung up by the neck President, Thomas Gallagher. to appease the anger of those who have done everything in their power during the teamsters' strike to gode the Negro to resort to acts of violence in order to save his own life. Rev. Samuel G. Wilson and his family, who formerly resided on Park avenue near 32nd street, this city, have for some time been located at Everett, Wash., where he is the pastor of the colored Baptist church. He is also serving as State Missionary, Financial Agent and General Secretary of the colored Baptist Convention of Washington and surrounding states. He is progressing nicely and his daughter, Miss Manima, whom we knew when she was but a awe girl, stands at the head of her class in all of her studies in the Everett High School, and she has a promiseing future before her. Each week Miss Manima and her parents read The Prodax Ax in their far Western home We recall reading an editorial in the Chicago Broad Ax—a wide-awake uncompromising race defender, Democratic in politics withal—which held that the Negroes made a mistake by allowing themselves to be used emasse as "strike-breakers" at Chicago, in the present teamsters' strike. It predicted that as soon as the strike was broken, there would be no further use for the colored brother. Events seem to be justifying that view. The press dispatches of Sunday said: "White men are being brought into the city from surrounding States at the rate of 250 a day to take the place of the strikers. The Negroes employed at first are being sent home as rapidly as they can be replaced."—The Home News, Alexandria, Va. Our predictions have more than come true, for each and every day those who were instrumental in bringing the colored men here from the remote parts of the South, for the express purpose of taking the places of the striking teamsters, are being shipped out of the city at a raidl rate, and within the next few weeks there will be mighty few colored strike-breakers driving for Marshall Field, Mandel Brothers and other firms like them who hate all colored people worse than they hate rattlesnakes, except when they can use them as strike-breakers. Last Sunday at 7:30 a. m. Father Lealted celebrated the Holy Eucharist and preached at morning prayer and again at vespers, 8 p. m. His subject at vespers being "Fear Not but Put Your Trust in God." The question is often asked if the Episcopal Church is not Catholic. We refer all such questions to the creed. The mention of the Holy Ghost in the creed is at once followed by that of the Holy Catholic Church so that belief in the Holy Ghost requires belief in the Catholic Church for the Church is the temple of the Holy Ghost; and Christ's words to the church was: "Lo! I am with you always, even to the end of the world;" and the Apostolic Succession of Bishops, Priests and Deacons is traced back through the centuries to Jerusalem. This is the mark or one mark of the Catholic Church. Next Sunday, May 28, Rogation Day. Monday, May 29, Rogation Day. Tuesday, May 30, Rogation Day. Wednesday, May 31, Rogation Day.

CONCERNING WRINKLES Stop Bad Habit of Frowning and Look Carefully After Diet as Well as Bathing and Massage. Wrinkles may indicate a want of nutrition, or they may be caused by irregular contraction of the muscles, the muscles sometimes contracting too much, and sometimes too much relaxed. The habit of scowling, or continually holding the face in a wrinkled condition, will also cause wrinkles, says Medical Talk. In any case, an excellent treatment is a combination of bathing and massage. You can do this yourself. All that it requires is persistence and thoroughness. Pure, soft, cold water should be used, and fine, pure soap. After washing the hands perfectly clean, then lather the face thoroughly with soap. This should be done with the hands and fingers, massaging every portion of the face, and should occupy about ten minutes. The soap should then be well washed off with cold water. The rubbing should be vigorous, so as to remove every particle of dirt that may have settled in the pores of the skin. This should be done every morning. It will do more for your complexion than any other treatment I could recommence. Take plenty of sleep, in a well-ventilated room, and keep the body well nourished with plain, wholesome food. WAS ACCUSTOMED TO IT. The great actress was recuperating her health by living in the country and doing common work. Among other things she had the garden fad and was planning to white-wash her picket fence. She was going to do it with her own hands, relates the Baltimore American. O. fudge! Also press notices! She went to the dealer in lime (the photographer had stationed himself where he could get a good view of her as she bought the stuff and paid for it). It was much better than having her jewels stolen. And decidedly newer. And decisively lower. The dealer in notions weighed out the lime and the great actress held out her pail to receive it. But the dealer insisted that he was giving her short weight and reached again for the scoop to fill up the scale pan. However, the great actress would not let him; but dumped the snowy powder into her receptacle, saying: "It don't matter about the weight, for I am used to getting the lime light." Having said which, she laughed heartily and told the press agent about it. FOLLOW LEADER TO DEATH Sheep Deliberately Plunge Into Frozen Stream After Head of Flock "The most striking example of following a leader into the jaws of death I ever saw took place in Kent county." said a Kent county farmer, according to the Baltimore Herald. "Ex-Sheriff Plummer," he continued, "had a flock of 17 sheep, which, for some unaccountable reason, determined to go from one pasture to another. To make the journey it was necessary to cross the creek on the ice. Sure enough, the old buck of the flock walked cautiously out on the weakened ice. When he was about mid-stream it gave way and he plunged in. The other sheep, instead of returning to the shore, which they could have done, deliberately, and, as the lawyers would put it, 'with malice aforethought,' walked into the hole in the ice made by their leader and were drowned. Nothing but sheep would have ever been fool enough to be guilty of such a performance. There was possibly some excuse for the fool-hardy old buck, but I can think of no extenuating circumstances in the case of the others." CHAMOIS DEFEATS EAGLES Warlike Birds Attempt to Destroy Mountain Creature, But Are Beaten Off. A desperate combat between two eagles and a chamois was witnessed on a snow-covered mountain near Flushi one day later, relates a Geneva correspondent to the London Express. One of the young eagles attacked a young chamois, when it was charged by the sire of the herd, which was some distance away. At this point another eagle appeared, but the chamois repeatedly beat them both by fierce thrusts of its antlers. The struggle continued for half an hour, after which the birds took to flight.

Domestic Service in Brazil Some curious facts about domestic service in Brazil are brought out in a consuir report from Rio Grande do Sul. Servants will not sleep in the house as a rule, but expect to leave at seven at night and not to return till seven or eight the next day. As a result, some houses have a pane of glass in one of the windows taken out, through which the baker and the milkman pass their goods on their early morning rounds, without troubling a member of the family to get up and open the door.

Her Industries Have Suffered More from War with Japan Than Rest of Russia. According to United States Commercial Agent Harris at Eibenstock, Germany, the industries in Russian Poland have suffered more from the war, with Japan than any other part of Russia. That is attributed to the fact that the Polish provinces on the Vistula manufacture, to a large extent, certain articles which are dependent for a market either upon foreign countries or distant parts of the Russian empire. One-half of the inhabitants of Russian Poland is dependent upon house industries for a living. These house industries consist of the manufacture of gloves, shoes, scarfs, neckties, shirts, underwear and ready-made clothing. There are whole cities in Poland, as for example Breslin, in the district of Piotrkow, which are absolutely dependent upon the making of cheap, ready-made clothing for distant markets. "Up to the outbreak of the war," says the report, "Siberia and the Russian possessions on the Pacific were the best markets for this industry. To-day there is practically no demand for manufactured goods in any Russian territory in the far east either directly or indirectly influenced by the war. "Another cause of the extreme business depression in Russian Poland is a too liberal use of the long-credit system, which has been participated in to the fullest extent by both the manufacturer and merchant. At the outbreak of the war those manufacturers who were called upon to meet the demands of their foreign bankers were compelled to force payments from their customers. Such procedure has made its influence felt among every class of the inhabitants. "The crop failure in the Vistula provinces in 1904, caused by the long-continued drought, has also produced much misery among the peasant classes." OKEFINOKEE SWAMP BEARS "The next time the president goes off on a hunting trip I hope he will come down our way," said S. B. Tison of Waycross, Ga., to the Washington Post. "The great Okefinokee swamp begins not far from our town, and extends due south for a distance of about 40 miles, running over into Florida. Here in this vast tract of desolate bog and swamp are thousands of black bear and deer, and wild turkeys without number. The whole region is a hunter's paradise, and yet so abundant is the game in this remote and desolate country that it does not seem to diminish in spite of the Nimrods. "The bears weigh from 200 to 300 pounds and put in a great part of their time preying upon the pig pens of the farmers. If forced into a fight, they are dangerous antagonists, and no prudent hunter will attack one save at a point of vantage." Italy's Industrial Advance Not many people in the United States are fully aware of how rapidly Italy is advancing in industrial importance. In some ways northern Italy has in the last ten years shown as promising development in an industrial way as is to be found anywhere in Europe. The never-falling water supply of the snow-topped mountains is being utilized by the electrical engineers in a way which promises to convert northern Italy into a great industrial state. Nowhere in Europe is there a population better fitted to aid in an industrial development. The people are dexterous, quick to learn and industrious, and up to the present time the general wage scale compares favorably with that of any competitors which they have to meet. The result of these favorable conditions has been, for instance, the development of the silk industry at a rate which sounds like statistics of American industrial growth.—krank A. Vanderlip, in Scribner's. The Cold South From the observations made by recent antarctic explorers, Prof. Julius Hann has recalculated the average temperature of the southern hemisphere as compared with the northern, and his results differ, in some respects, from those heretofore accepted. He finds that the mean temperature south of the equator, for the entire year, is about two and three-quarters degrees lower than that north of the equator. But the annual variation of temperature in the northern hemisphere is twice as large as in the southern, our summer temperature being much higher and our winter temperature perceptibly lower than those of the corresponding seasons in the southern half of the globe.

JUSTICE HARLAN ATTRIBUTES VIGOR TO OUTDOOR EXERGIZE Al Fresco Potemac Dinner at Its Best —Always Marrying Off Unmarried Public Men—Secretary Moody a Victim. WASHINGTON.—The rumor is again circulated that Associate Justice John M. Harlan contemplates retirement from the supreme bench. Judge Harlan's enthusiastic advocacy of the estab- ASHINGTON.—The rumor is again circulated that Associate Justice John M. Harlan contemplates retirement from the supreme bench. Judge Harlan's enthusiastic advocacy of the establishment of a Presbyterian cathedral in Washington has inspired this latest rumor. It is suggested that if the matter is taken up by the Presbyterian general assembly Judge Harlan will be requested to take charge of the movement, and in order to do so he will relinquish his place on the bench and devote all his energies to the building of the cathedral. Recently the judge was asked concerning the report that he would leave the bench for the purpose of furthering the Presbyterian cathedral movement. He declared that he was not in a position to discuss the matter, and whatever was done would depend upon the action of the general assembly. He announced his great interest in this movement and his willingness to assume a large share of the burden of raising the funds, but he was not prepared to say whether he would leave the supreme bench for the purpose of devoting all his time to the matter. Judge Harlan is entitled to retirement, having passed the requisite age, but few of his colleagues are more wrapped up in their work than is he. He has been a member of the supreme bench for 28 years, and still does his full share of its work. He is physically in the finest condition and demonstrated only a few weeks ago that he was a formidable opponent for anyone to meet on the golf links. He took part in a golf competition and played 18 holes over a rough, hilly course, and won the match for his club, the Chevy Chase Golf club, by defeating his opponent on the eighteenth green. He has made some of the most difficult strokes ever played on the Chevy Chase links, and it is no unusual thing for him to walk from his home to the links, a distance of four or five miles. The judge attributes his fine physical condition to his indulgence in this sort of out-of-door sport. Scarcity G MORE THAN 1 BOW BOAT or shad. EORGE M. BOWERS, chief of the fish commission, has very discouraging reports to make this year to the lovers of the toothsome shad. The work of collecting shad eggs for the purpose of stocking rivers and propagating this important food fish was seriously retarded this spring. The low temperature of the waters produced by the continued cold weather interfered with spawning and then the fishing season opened with tremendous onslaughts by fishermen. Mr. Bowers reports that instead of taking hundreds of millions of shad eggs, as the commission has been able to do in past years, the government will be lucky to obtain 40,000,000 eggs this year. Only dwellers along the Atlantic coast appreciate to the full this splendid fish. The season begins early in Florida and works up along the coast, reaching its height when the Susquehanna and Delaware rivers are reached. The first shad in the market is a sure harbinger of spring, and is welcomed as joyfully as the spring flowers in the hills. With the coming of warm days the shad leave their winter haunts and seek the waters of the bays and rivers. Their destination is the shallow depths of the fresh water rivers, where their eggs will quickly ripen. The taking of the fish by millions in nets interferes with the run and the roe shad that have gotten through and reached the spawning beds have not produced because the temperature of the water has been so low. The government considers the propagation of the shad so important that an annual appropriation of $250,000 is made for the collection of the shad eggs. Fishermen are paid $10 per million for the eggs, but the outlay this year will be very limited. The end of the season comes about May 20, and the prospect is that the government will have mighty few shad fry to plant in the coast rivers this year. The result of the scarcity will be felt three or four years from now. Planked Shad Planked Shad of Washington. N Washington and at the river resorts round about the shad is met with in all its glory. This city is as famed for its planked shad as Philadelphia is for its caftail and waffles. Boston for its cod, or Chicago for its planked whitefish. To enjoy this delicacy at its best, planked shad should be eaten at one of the many resorts along the Potomac river. There the fish is planked in good old-fashioned style, in the open air, before a good hot wood fire. A shad weighing two or three pounds is split up the back, tacked to a two-inch oak plank and set up at an angle before the glowing hot wood coals. A row of the fish dressed in this style is attended by a negro cook, usually a white-haired old servitor, who first began the practice of his art in the days before the war. He knows exactly the temperature to maintain, and how to keep the fish from scorching by liberal basting with melted butter. When the fish is cooked to a turn it is served in the open air on a table on the plank on which it is cooked. Accompanying it are fresh spring vegetables, particularly the luscious onion, and with a platter of hoe cakes, the latter the genuine southern article, cooked on a plank in front of the same fire as was the fish, and the rare, delicious but simple combination of water ground corn meal and water spread thin upon a hot plank. The Secretary of Agriculture. INGLE men in the cabinet or in pub life must pay the penalty of their condition. Dame Rumor is always busy with their names, and hints and predictions of marriages are many. Secretary of Agriculture S Wilson is one of the conspicuous victims of the persistent social gossips, Mr. Wilson lost his wife some 13 years ago, and it is doubtful if he has ever given a single thought to a remarriage. This does not prevent the periodical appearance of the newspaper paragraph stating that the secretary is about to marry a lady who is variously described as a school teacher in his own state of Iowa, a middle-aged clerk in his department, or a charming widow in society. Mr. Wilson has long since given up the idea of suppressing this sort of gossip, and has resigned himself to the fate of being talked about, no matter how distasteful it is. The fact is, the secretary is too busy with the affairs of his department, and his mind is so engrossed with plans for the advancement of agriculture and the betterment of the condition of farmers, that he has little or no time to give to the lighter and more personal affairs of life. He is more diligent in seeking an effective enemy of the boll weevil or in the inoculation of sails to make them more productive than he is in the fair sex or in the guest of a wife. Attorney General Moody, the bachelor member of the president's cabinet, is another target for Dame Rumor's shafts. Mr. Moody has been too busy all his life building up a reputation in the law to give much thought to seeking a partner for life. The accommodating social gossips of the city, however, have settled his fate for him, if they are to be believed, and have him engaged to marry a charming widow in Boston, who is conducting a very prosperous millinery establishment. They declare that the lady, highly educated and charming as she is, cares nothing for society, and is particularly indifferent to official society, and therefore has declined to become Mrs. Moody as long as Mr. Moody remains in the government service. When he retires, however, it is declared that one of his first moves will be to take the Boston widow into partnership for life and then enter upon the practice of law at the Hub. When "Uncle Joe" Is Not Popular. EAKER CANNON is not very popular with representatives of organizations and societies that are seeking national charters for the purpose of getting a quasi connection with the government. Mr. Cannon in his lone S experience as chairman of the house appropriations committee learned that one item of extravagance. in government affairs is the printing of documents and reports that are of comparatively limited interest. He has been convinced that some of the most ornate specimens of the printers' and engravers' art that are turned out of the government printing office really should never have been authorized, and their costly production is a waste of public money. The Daughters of the American Revolution secured a national charter in 1896 which provides that it shall make a report to the secretary of the Smithsonian institution, and that the secretary shall communicate to congress such portions of the report as may be of national interest. So far the secretary has assumed that the voluminous annual reports of this society are all of national interest, and they have been sent bodily to congress and printed at public expense. A review of the report makes it difficult to understand what national interest there can be in the major part of such a document. Speaker Cannon, with this expensive report in view, has of late years persistently opposed the granting of national charters to any society unless the act contained a provision specifically declaring that the organization shall in no manner whatever become a charge upon the United States treasury. His insistence on this restriction has proven a damper to a number of societies seeking a charter at the hands of congress which would permit the publication of their reports by the government. NICE SUMMER FURNITURE. Both in City and Country House at This Season Are Used Rattan and Other Light Materials. The increase in variety and styles of furniture especially adapted for use in summer homes is very noticeable, this season. All of the large shops are showing an elaborate assortment of such furniture in bamboo, wicker, rattan, willow and birch wood, and in addition to the standard articles of furniture there are many novelties. For those to whom the delights of a summer sojourn in the woods or even in the country is denied opportunities present themselves for outdoor life during summer days on the porches and lawns of the city house, and likewise exist on the roofs. Furniture exactly suited to this use greets the visitors to THE BUNGALOW THE BUNGALOW CHAIR. the department and specialty shops these days, and side by side are chairs, settees, tables, etc., that in the city house might well be substituted in warm weather for upholstered and padded furniture, even though the latter wear linen slips bedded with flowers and stripes. A summer furniture hunt is a fascinating occupation just now and one that is profitable also. An entirely new style in summer furnishings to be seen this season is the bungalow furniture. This is constructed on plain rather than severe lines, suggesting the mission furniture without being quite so straight and square. The chairs have cane backs and seats and the wood of the framework is a dark brown, dull finished oak. The plainness of this design, and the fact that although a novelty it is not so generally seen as the more showy red and green wicker furniture, will no doubt appeal to housekeepers of conservative tastes. CHILDREN'S FASHIONS. The Little Ones as Well as the Elders Are Attired These Days in Neat Checks. The checks and plains, especially in mohair, are going to be as popular for children as they are for grown-ups. They make charming Russian blouse suits for little-girls. One of these straight, simple frocks made for a girl of ten years was plaited from the neck, with a straight band for a collar. In the middle of the waist, quite high up, was a black and scarlet embroidered emblem. This and the low dropped patent leather belt were the only touches of trimming. A bit more elaborate was a blue and white checked Russian suit made exactly like the first one. A very broad Eton collar, or rather a Puritan collar of white linen, and a white linen belt gave a pretty effect. The child wore white stockings and low patent leather shoes. For a girl of 12 was a black and white checkered voile charmingly made. Skirt and waist were box-plaited and a folded girdle of black taffeta connected the two. The neck was cut square and was outlined with a heavy white lace beading, through which was run a black velvet ribbon. The guimpe of embroidered batiste had a collar of Valenciennes beading run with narrow velvet ribbon. The voile sleeves were two huge puffs to the elbow, where the lower puff was gathered into a band of heavy lace strung with velvet ribbon, the loops and ends of which fell over the under sleeves of plain batiste. A sailor suit of red and white check, with a red embroidered dot, had the usual kilted skirt and loose blouse, the blouse in this case being open to the waist line, and laced across with a silk cord. The big sailor collar was trimmed with rows of white braid and tied with a big red surah sailor tie. There were two gulpsms with this suit, one of fine white flannel with a red anchor embroidered on the front; the other of handkerchief linen with the anchor embroidered in white. The gulpsms extended to the waist line on account of the open front of the blouse. Ruffles and Brilla The revival of ruffles and frills is a boon to thin women who have sometimes found it difficult to wear summer muslins becomingly. One can have a thin gown covered with ruffles, and be very much in fashion. A graduation party gown of fine nain-sook was made with a full skirt trimmed with no fewer than ten narrow ruffles edged with the popular round-meshed Valenciennes, which is only less desirable than the real lace. These ruffles were graduated in width, but none of them were wider than five inches, and were set some distance apart. The waist was low-necked, and had the decollette outlined by a double rouche of lace. Three narrow ruffles trimmed the waist and crossed the full elbow sleeves. There was a girlle with sash ends of white taffeta ribbon, in the sash end of which were twined small white roses. A bunch of natural white roses would naturally be worn on the corsage. Puffs are also for the thin woman. Muslins are very much puffed just now. Fifty-First St. and Armour Ave. Bail Yards: 1st St. and L. S. & M. S.

Paderewski is the only living commoner who has had his portrait painted by a member of the royal family of England. Princess Louise was the artist. Centenarians Common.

Few White Women White women are scarce in the German colonies; there are only 264 in East Africa and 229 in the German islands in the Pacific ocean.

Since the order has gone forth that battleships and cruisers shall have no ornamentation whatever, except what conforms to the plans of the naval architect, one of their original features has disappeared almost entirely. This is the figurehead, upon which large sums of money were spent to make them an attractive and appropriate decoration. In England even headpieces, which were created before this new rule went into effect, are not permitted to ornament ships' prows in their pristine glory and sentiment. Japs at School. The Japanese have adopted a compulsory system of national education. A boy and girl must attend school as soon as they attain the age of six, and remain there until the age of 14.

Tramways in Mexeco The street tramways of the City of Mexico, which began only a few years ago as a few independent mule lines, now form one electric system with modern equipment.

Englishwomen are employed as clerks by some business houses in Spain. Some of them, able to correspond in Englush, French, German, Spanish and Dutch, have very comfortable positions, receiving a salary of £200, and having a month's holiday a year. Pretty High Up. The daughter of a wealthy Englishman has married her father's chauffeur.
