The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX AFRO-AMERICAN WOMEN IN THE TOWN OF LAKE Frequent Saloons, Fill Up On Beer and Whisky, Then They Enter the Churches Where They Holler and Shout for Jesus! Vol. XI AFRO-AMERICA IN THE TOW Frequent Saloon Beer and Wh Enter the C They Holler Jesus! To the everlasting shame of the Afro-American women in the Town of Lake, it can be said without the least exaggeration that many of them boldly frequent saloons in broad day light, march up to the bar and call for their beer or whisky just like the old rounders who hang out in the barrel houses on South Clark street. To illustrate; there are two saloons on the corner of 51st and Dearborn street, and the one on the northeast corner seems to be the worst of the two, for within the past few years many young girls and older women have spent much of their time in the rooms over the saloon, and by having a jolly time there for the time being caused many of them to start on the downward road to everlasting shame and disgrace. One saloon on the corner of 50th and State streets, one on the corner of 40th and State street and one on the corner of 47th and Dearborn street, and 47th and Armour avenue, seem to be extensively patronized by many Afro-American women residing in the Town of Lake. It is no trouble for anyone to observe either in the daytime or during the dark hours of the night. Afro-American women going in and out these saloons, some with their cans or buckets for beer, and some with bottles which they have filled with whisky, many of these Afro-American women claim to be highly respectable and profess to be good Christians and are church members, and on Sunday mornings some of these women will frequent these saloons fill up on beer or whisky, and then enter the churches where they hollar and shout for Jesus. So far the pastors of the three leading colored churches in the Town of Lake have been perfectly silent on this growing evil on the part of the Afro-American women. This may be accounted for on the theory that if they raise their voices in their pulpits in behalf of decency and morality that they may lose some money which they would otherwise receive, moreover, it appears in many instances that the pastors referred to are more than willing to welcome into their flocks individuals whom they absolutely know to be very law in many transactions, and who are willing to turn many shady tricks which are unbecoming to those who profess to be devout Christians. Numbers is what they want, and it seems in order to secure these numbers they permit many unworthy persons to become connected with their churches Many of this class of Afro-American women in the past have sent their sweet little boys and girls—their own flesh and blood, into these saloons, for the express purpose of toting home beer and whisky for them, for such acts on their part (if there is a God sitting on His throne in heaven waiting to judge the living and the dead, which we doubt) then these women should be eternally damned by Him, for it is bad enough for them themselves to boldly trample under their feet all their finer sensibilities in this respect, without teaching their children to do the same thing. In other days these Afro-American women who entertain the idea that they are accomplishing something wonderful to frequent saloons and fill up on beer and whisky, would attend church Sunday evening and note very carefully the chapter and verse in the bible the preacher would quote from, then they would go home and dream hard all night and early Monday morning they would start their boys and girls on a dead run to some policy shop with money they needed to buy them decent clothing and something to eat, to play the numbers which flashed through their minds the night before, after listening to their pastor proclaim the verse and chapter in the bible that he would preach from, and by so doing they were simply teaching their children how to steal and training them to become gamblers, loafers, toughs, and criminals. The foregoing glaring evils, among a certain class of Afro-American women, in the Town of Lake, must be discouraged and it is the solemn duty of the pastors who have been aluded to, to assist in every way possible to elevate them on a higher moral plane, for they must be taught that no woman can retain her ladyship in every sense of the word, become a good Christian if she permits herself to frequent or to hang around in saloons. That without virtue and modesty on the part of women, life is only a dream or a passing cloud. PROTECTIVE TARIFF LESSONS! Away back "befo the wah sir," yes, about 1844 to 48, it was truly said, the poorest washwoman in our U. S. could wear a dress of finest silk, while men wore velvet vests of costliest pattern that would last fifteen years and still look well. But our government soon decided to encourage and protect the American silk manufacturer and put a tariff on all silk fabrics of some dollars per yard—say three or four. From then till now no poor body has been able to wear them, though they can be had in China for 50 cents per yard. But some twenty manufacturers here have got to be worth billions by charging their fellow creatures several dollars per yard for their own inferior work. Also away back there one would buy quinine made here by Powers and Weightman and one or two other firms at 30 cents per oz. But during the war Congress thought we must get a big revenue off quinine that was imported here from Europe. So it put a protective tariff on quinine of some dollars per oz. And quinine sold here at about five dollars during the war per oz. Government bought lots of it for the soldiers, P. & W. and others got awfully rich by selling their thirty cent quinine for five dollars, till a fuss was made over such outrage and the trade was made almost free again. Railroad iron was selling here at about eighteen dollars the ton for best steel rails. The maker's made money at the price. But the big R. R. combine then just being born caused congress to put a tax on all foreign iron to protect us at home. A tax of just about $18 the ton. Then the R. R. HEW TO THE LINE. HEW TO THE LINE. CHICAGO, DECEMBER 16, 1905 combine closed up some of the largest iron works here and began to make their own rails to sell to their own roads fearful lest the law might be changed they forced all roads to tear up their tracks and lay new rails all over the U. S. at $36 per ton. For example; over the line in Canada the roads there were able to get their rails at $18 from Europe, while just over on this side our own roads had to pay $36 for the same rails from the same house it may have been, or a road from one of our states running up into Canada would pay 36 dollars per ton up to the line and only half that sum over the line into Canada. Our people were in fact for twenty or thirty years thus taxed billions of dollars to fill a few pockets of the very men able to make the rails for $15 at a profit. Here are just three little lessons on the benefits of Protective Tariff. And all of our workmen have greedily bit at the bait! God! What fools we are! AN ENJOYABLE SURPRISE PARTY. One of the most pleasant social functions of the year was the surprise party Tuesday evening at the palatial home of Doctor and Mrs. Daniel H. Williams, 470 East Forty-second street. It was given in honor of Mrs. Williams, who returned on that evening from an extended visit to her old home in Washington, D. C., where for seven weeks she was royally entertained. Much of the pleasure of the affair came from the fact that it was a complete surprise to her. She, being tired from her long journey, was preparing to retire when her door bell began to ring at intervals of two and three minutes, and soon her beautiful parlor们 were filled with a crowd of her friends, all dressed in holiday attire, while she was yet in her traveling clothes. It took her some time to make out what was going on. The evening was spent in pleasant social converse. After an elegant collation Attorney E. E. Wilson on behalf of the party, welcomed Mrs. Williams back to Chicago, and she responded in some choice words, expressing how pleased, surprised and touched she was at this show of kindliness on the part of her friends. Mrs. Thomas Carroll, Mrs. E. E. Wilson and Mrs. S. S. Paul managed the affair, besides presenting Mrs. Williams with some beautiful flowers. The following persons were present: Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Paul, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Warren, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Sayre, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Carroll, Mr and Mrs. Harry Duncan, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Cowan, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Crum, Mr and Mrs. S. Laing Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Louis B. Anderson, Mrs. Barr, of Los Angeles, Cal., Mrs. Jerry Stewart, Mrs. Wispatel, Mrs. A. W.

The following letter speaks for itself: House of Representatives.... Washington. December 7th, 1905. Julius F. Taylor, Esq. Editor of "The Broad Ax." 5040 Armour Avenue, Chicago, Ill. My Dear Mr. Taylor: Inclosed please find Two Dollars ($2,00) to pay my subscription for another year to your paper. I read The Broad Ax carefully, and I am much interested in many things it says; but far beyond that, I am interested in your endeavors to do something for humanity; and I congratulate you sincerely on your pluck, perseverance and indomitable energy. With best wishes, believe me as ever. The above letter clearly indicates that Congressman Sulzer is no cheap politician, for if he was he would not subscribe for The Broad Ax unless it was published in the Precinct and ward in which he resides in New York City. But, on the contrary, he is a broad and liberal minded statesman and being close to the plain or the common people, and as he is well versed in the affairs of his country, it is too bad that he was not chosen minority leader of the House of Representatives, for he is able to take a broader view of national questions and more eminently qualified to serve in that capacity than the present minority leader of that body. It may not be out of place to state right here "that if the leaders of the Democratic party in the Empire State are wise they will nominate William Sulzer, for governor in 1906, for he would victoriously sweep that state from end to end, and turn the dishonest Republican rascals out at Albany. These lines are not written simply to sound the praise of Congressman Sulzer for no other reason than that he has been a staunch supporter of The Broad Ax since November 1, 1899, far from it, but they are penned because we honestly believe "that his warm heart is located in the right place, and that he is a true friend to struggling humanity." WHY EDITORS GET RICH. After a good deal of study and work we have at last figured out why so many country editors get rich. Here is the secret of success: A child is born in the neighborhood, the attending physician gets 10; the editor gives the loud-lunged youngster and the happy, parents a send-off and gets 0. It is christened; the minister gets 10 and the editor gets 00. It grows up and marries; the editor publishes another long-winded, flowery article and tells a dozen lies about the "accomplished and beautiful bride;" the minister gets 10 and a piece of cake and Washington. the editor gets 000. In the course of time it dies; the doctor gets 100, the minister 25, the undertaker gets 100. The editor publishes a notice of the death and an obituary two columns long, lodge society resolutions, a lot of poetry and a free card of thanks, and gets 000. No wonder so many country editors get rich so quick—Ex. MADAM KELLOG DAVIS' DEBUTE AT SMILEY'S HALL. The audience that gathered at Smiley's Hall Monday night to attend Madame Kellog Davis' dramatic recital was not large, but what they lacked in numbers was made up in applause generously bestowed upon an artist of unusual ability. Space will not permit a detailed review of her work, but it can be truthfully said that Madame Davis is a genius. She gave six or seven numbers with hardly three minutes intermission between each number, without missing a line. Her delivery was perfect, and her gestures good. She is especially strong in emotional parts, and a clever reader of Paul Dunbar's Negro dialect poems. The effort was certainly deserving of better support. "THE FUGITIVE" WILL BE REN DERED AT INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH FOR THE BENE- FIT OF THE AMANDA SMITH HOME.

Williams, Mr. Stubbs possesses all the characteristics of an artist and many are more than pleased to learn that he is endeavoring and will accomplish his effort in having his drama produced, entitled "The Fugitive." It is a crisp, bright, romantic story of a southern Negro youth abounding in clever repartice and thrilling situations. The community appreciates that noble spirit that Mrs. Stubbs possesses in aiding the Amanda Smith Orphan Home.

The Fourth Floor is the Paradise for Children. The fortunate youngsters whose parents take them sightseeing at Hilman's see more dolls, games and other things dear to the childish heart than were ever before gathered together in one spot. The south half of the fourth floor is one bewildering toy bazaar, where the hum and rattle of mechanical toys, mingles with the toot of the auto horn and the chorus of delighted exclamations from the sightseeing children. Hillman's toy department is immensely popular with the grown-ups too—those who pay the bills and want to make their Christmas money go as far as possible find that they can't do better than make their purchases in Hillman's toy bazaar. The grocery department is completely stocked with everything to tickle the palate. This is also true in all the other departments, including jewelry, etc., and no store on state street displays such an immense and varied stock of everything suitable for Christmas presents at reasonable prices as can be found on sale at Hillman's. Mr. Charles Dennehy, of Charles Dennehy & Co., 216 Randolph street, the sole distributors of Old Underoof Rye, which is mellow and the best whisky for medicinal purposes, is happy these cold winter days, which naturally means an increase in the sales of the finest brand or make of whisky in the world.

Barley, 4157 Ellis avenue, is preparing to spend a portion of the holiday season at the national capital. Alderman John J. Bradley may be forced to do a little scrapping at the primaries in February. But he will be a winner just the same. Mrs. George Hoarde, 320 West Forty-seventh street, has been on the sick list, but she is on the mend, and will soon be able to be around again. Mrs. Azalia Smith-Hackley, of Philadelphia, Pa., was entertained Thursday morning at breakfast by Mrs. S. W. Thompson, 6552 Champlain avenue. Dan Morgan Smith, Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago, slipped and sprained his right ankle Monday, and it is rather hard for him to navigate. The devil is the black sheep of the heavenly hosts and the main prop of the church. God, with a single word, could annihilate him, but is careful not to do so.-Voltaire. Col. A. D. Gash, suite 619 Oxford Building, 86 LaSalle street, who is one of the most eminent and honorable lawyers in Chicago, would make a tip-top candidate for Chief Justice of the new municipal court. Garden City Chapter will on Friday evening, December 22d, have their installation services at the residence of Mrs. Empy, 2624 Wabash avenue. Friends of the order have been invited to be present. The Broad Ax and The Chicago Record-Herald were the only two papers in the city with sufficient enterprise to elaborate extensively on the achievements of William Lloyd Garrison, and to contain cuts of that great reformer. Mrs. Edward S. Miller, 3642 Wabash avenue, to the regret of her many friends, is knocked out from the effect of a severe cold, and from the further effect of eating too much turkey Thanksgiving Day. A local newspaper published in Seattle, Wash., says: "A Helena, Mont., girl went crazy last Tuesday from excessive love. It is plain to be seen that this girl partook of none of the qualities of the 'new woman.'" Attorney Walter M. Farmer, suite 12, 155 Washington street, late of St. Louis, Mo., was this week granted permission by the Supreme Court of this State to practice in all the courts in Illinois, and he is now ready for business. On Thursday night at 8 o'clock Miss Gertrude Moore and Mr. Sonnie Bolay were joined together in wedlock at the home of the bride's father, Mr. Jos. W. Moore, 3433 Armour avenue. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Moses Jackson, and witnessed by relatives of the contracting parties. Mrs. Edw. R. Mead, 6351 Vincennes avenue, gave an "At Home" Thursday afternoon from 2 to 6 in honor of her guest, Mrs. Azalia Smith-Hackley, of Philadelphia , Pa. About seventy-five ladies paid their respects to the sweet singer. Some colored folks pay for race newspapers willingly, some colored folks pay for them grudgingly, and some other colored folks do not pay for them at all. Those of the first class are the glory of the publisher, and those of the last named class tend to make him lose all hope of heaven. The Mount Hope Cemetery Association this week sent out letters to all the Afro-American undertakers in the city to the effect "that on and after December 1st no lots will be sold to colored people," which means that its officials have drawn the "color line." Hon. Miles J. Devine and his son returned home Tuesday morning from a visit to New York City, where he was the honored guest of the leaders of Tammany Hall, and spoke at the banquet and celebration held by it December 4th. The new city charter convention held its first session Tuesday, and Judge Orrin N. Carter was chosen as its permanent chairman. Alderman Milton J. Foreman will act as vice-chairman, and Martin L. McKinley, who hates to pay out his money to support weekly newspapers, will serve as its secretary. Mrs. Simon Ford, 5042 Dearborn st., this week forwarded to President Roosevelt a delightful Christmas present in the shape of an exquisite quilt which she skillfully wrought with her own hands. It is worth well on to a thousand dollars, and no doubt the President will highly prize it. Attorney Alfred B. Cosey, Centeral Building, Newark, N. J., is one of the most prominent Afro-American lawyers in this country. He is an honored Master in Chancery, and in the past seven years he has successfully handled some of the most intricate law cases in his section of the country. Mr. Cosey not with wind, but with his money, is a warm supporter of this paper. Mr. J. Howard Braxton, Secretary to Mr. Howard Gould, of New York, is stopping at the Palmer House. Mr. Braxton is on his annual vacation, which lasts a month, and will take in many other cities for sight-seeing ere he returns to his office in New York. Rev J. B. Massiah, of Detroit, Mich. recently appointed rector of St. Thomas' Episcopal church, was in the city last week for a conference with Bishop Anderson. While here he was the guest of Mr. Charles H. Smiley. Miss Leonora Comerford, who has for years been the efficient bookkeeper for John J. Dunn, the wholesale and retail coal merchant, Fifty-first and Armour avenue, is thoroughly posted not only in business affairs, but also on current events. Miss Comerford possesses an agreeable manner, which adds to her popularity with the numerous customers who patronize the reliable coal dealer. She is also an admirer of The Broad Ax, and peruses it each week. In the contest Mr. Hearst has been waging to determine who was really elected Mayor of New York in the last election, the finest legal talent of the city has been engaged. Attorney Alfred C. Carr, a colored man, has been selected by Corporation Counsel DeLaney to represent his office in the company of lawyers overseeing the recount. Mr. Carr is Assistant Corporation Counsel, and was chosen from all the others in the office because of his technical knowledge; of the election and primary laws.

Remember the place. E. H. FAULKNER'S NEWS AND BOOK STORE, 3104 STATE ST., CHICAGO. English Towns in France. English Towns in France. "La Monde Moderne," of Paris, describes two little English cities near Paris. Chantilly and Maisons-Lafitte have become Anglicised because of the racing establishments there. Their streets are filled with English sportsmen, English horse trainers and English jockeys. A great stable is labeled in capitals "Box Hall," a bar has the sign "English Tavern," and there is an English Protestant Episcopal church. The English rector and curate are familiar figures in the town. Altogether these cities have become about as English as anything in England. The Ideal Fish. While scientists are taking liberties with flowers, fruits and vegetables, why don't they try their hands on fishes? The man who will invent a fish having the properties of the pompano and the shad will confer a blessing on epicures and mankind. Think of a fish having as few bones as the pompano and the delicious flavor and tenderness of the shad. Get busy, Messrs. Scientists. Different Next Day "You should have heard Bangs roasting Goodley last night. He used some pretty hard words." "Yes, but they didn't seem so hard to Bangs last night as they did this morning." "How do you mean?" "He had to eat them this morning." —Philadelphia Press. HAIRPINS AND HAZING. "Freshmen" in Girls' College Subjected to Some Strange Restrictions. The sophomores of Barnard college have promulgated rules for their younger sisters which, says the Washington Times, are in these dreadful terms: "Freshmen must not appear on the college grounds in the company of young men. "Freshmen must not carry parasols until after the inclass basketball game, and then only if victorious. "Freshmen must not walk on the grass plots or sit on the ledges of Milbank hall. "The number of hairpins to be worn by freshmen is limited to 12, and none of these may be ornamental." The penalties for breaking these injunctions are not enumerated, but are doubtless sufficiently dire to make any girl lose all her surplus hairpins at the mere thought of them. It is not the present purpose to descent upon the cruelty of forbidding fresh girls from flaunting their gentlemen friends in the faces of their elder sisters, nor do we strenuously object to the wise economy in parasols enforced in rule 2. Far be it from us even to question the propriety of keeping the yearlings off the grass, or their banishment from the delectable cud-chewing ledges of Milbank hall; but why, why should a freshwoman's hairpins be restricted to 12, and these limited to the common old variety known as the button-hook? By the way, why can't the women's colleges find some other term for the first year girls than freshmen? If it were permitted us to suggest we would use a word that is really descriptive, like "miss-learnings." LOVED STARS AND BARS. An Interesting Incident in the Life of President Roosevelt's Mother. There are many still in Georgia who cherish tender memories of the president's beautiful, aristocratic mother, says the National Magazine. Throughout her girlhood she was a noted belle, admired everywhere for her beauty, accomplishments, charm of manner and strong mentality. During a visit to her sister in Philadelphia she met Mr. Roosevelt, who was captivated by the lovely young southern girl, and the announcement of their engagement soon followed. Felicitations and regrets were intermingled, for many deplored her loss when the bridegroom rode out from the north to claim his bride. Martha Bulloch Roosevelt loved with ardor her native state, and mourned with anguish the sorrows that the war between the states brought to her people. On one occasion, after hostilities between the north and south had begun and when her northern home was decorated for some festive occasion with American flags, she, to show her loyalty to the south, displayed from her boudour window the confederate flag, which caused angry sentiments in the crowd that collected in front of the house. They demanded the removal of the flag. She refused when told by Mr. Roosevelt, and no persuasion from her husband could induce her to withdraw it. So he made a speech to the crowd, by this time a mob, told them his wife loved the flag, as she was a southern woman, and the mob dispersed. BURGLAR FOND OF FLOWERS The Luxurious Taste of a Housebreaker Betrays Him to the Police A recent English robbery case, which reads almost like one of the Sherlock Holmes stories, related to the detection of a thief through his fondness for flowers. The only clew left by the robber of a house near Northampton was a fragment of a flower, whose petals were scattered over the floor. No flowers of the same sort were grown in the garden of the house robbed or by the neighbors, but an investigation of the florist shops in the near-by town showed that a flower of that sort had been purchased the evening before by a man who was recognized from the description given to be a well-known burglar. At the trial it was shown that, although the night had been warm, the thief, who was of delicate health, had worn a light overcoat, which crushed the petals of the flower beneath, and these had fallen to the carpet when he had opened his coat to stow away the jewels, which constituted the greater part of the spoils. Although the clew was a slight one, it was correct, and the luxury loving crook will have no need of flowers to decorate his broad arrow suit for some time to come. Danger Signal. Mrs. Nayber—I see you keep your husband's mustache cup and saucer on the dining table when he is away from home, just the same. Mrs. Crossway—Yes; in case a burglar breaks in, you know, it makes things look as if the man of the house was here—Chicago Tribune. Serviceable Ring "Gay D. Seever tells me that he has given the same diamond engagement ring to six different girls." "Ah, he has landed a good many birds with one stone."—Pittsburg Post. Going to the Root - BACOE—A family tree doesn't count for much in politics. Egbert—No; a politician is satisfied if he's only allowed to take the atrium. Literally Taken. Dr. Barnardo, the London philanthropist, who died recently, used to tell the following sory: "At the door of one of the boys' homes was a mat with the words, 'Wipe your feet.' One day as Dr. Barnardo was entering the house he saw a new boy removing his shoes and stockings and wiping his feet on the mat. He had taken the instructions in a literal sense." A London paper comments gravely: "The anecdote reminds one of the notices at american doors, 'Wipe your gums,' referring to the galoches universally worn in winter." Why His Head Didn't Ring. Two Scotsmen turning a corner came into collision. The shock stunned one of them. He pulled off his hat, and laying his hand on his brow said: "Sie a blow. My held's a' ringing again." "Nae wonder," said his companion, "your held was aye empty" that makes it ring; my held disna ring a bit." "How could it ring," said the other, "seein' it was aye crackit?"—Scottish American. London Statistics London has 1,000 ships and 9,000 sailors in its port every day. It has on an average upwards of 75,000 persons annually taken into custody by the police, 27,000 persons living in its common lodging houses, 25,000 persons annually arrested as drunk and disorderly, and more than one third of all the crime of the country is committed within its radius. Prolific Fruit The producing power of the bananas is 44 times as great as that of the potato. The dried fruit is readily converted into nutritious flour; it may also be manufactured into sausages; beer can be made from it; while the skin can be turned into cloth, and the juice made to do service either as ink or vinegar. Royal Reception. London's leading fireworks firm has shipped enormous quantities of its wares to India, for display in honor of the prince and princess of Wales. When they arrive at Bombay several warships will make a pyrotechnic display, which will be in the hands of professionals from London on each ship. "Solan Geese." Richard Bell in his new book, "My Strange Pets," tells of the solan geese, which, in Great Britain, in bygone days used to be salted and dried for human food: "Many years ago these dried geese found their way to the lowlands of Scotland and were used as an appetizer." The Squirrel Fish. In color the squirrel fish is a brilliant red, which makes it a conspicuous inhabitant of the sea as it darts here and there with quick, alert movements. The body of the squirrel fish shows a few stripes and is well covered with sharp spines. Joint Stock Banks When the bank of England was established by charter in 1694 it alone was allowed to do banking business in the kingdom, and it was not until the passing of the banks bill of 1826 that joint stock banks began to be established.

"Jock" Morgan of Oregon crossed the plains with his parents from Iowa in 1850 and they were seven months reaching Albany, Oke. The boy engaged as driver for the old California Stage company when 16 years old and he was the lord of the coach until the locomotive reached Salem. This was in 1872, and thereafter Morgan became a ranchman. Odd Walking Match. Recently a turkey and a goose were matched to walk a race of 100 yards in London. There was great excitement, hundreds of people witnessing the affair. After one false start the goose got well away, leaving the turkey at the post, and, following his master in good style, won easily amid great applause. Before and after the race the goose, with a box on his back, collected money for a local hospital. Sex of Angels. Referring to the discussion in New York over the sex of angels, the London Standard remarks: "In old English paintings and stained glass, in the works of Orcagna, and in the engraving by Albrecht Duerer, the angels are depicted as robust masculine figures, magnificent in their sturdy strength, irresistible power and unspeakable solemnity.

At least 175 animals are still at large. The task of transferring the herd is to be abandoned for the present. Ought to Work. Here is an old recipe for making the hair grow "where you will have it." Take two ounces of boar's grease, one drachm of the ashes of burnt bees, one drachm of the ashes of southern wood, one drachm of the juice of a white lily root, one drachm of oil of sweet almonds and six drachms of pure musk, make an ointment of these and the day before the full moon shave the place and anoint it every day." Africans in Africa At the recent meeting of the German colonial congress in Berlin, Dr. Marensky, formerly a missionary in South Africa, said, in speaking of the negro propaganda of "Africa for the Africans," there was no doubt whatever that a great Ethiopian uprising would take place sooner or later in South Africa, menacing allike British, German and Portuguese authority.

SENATOR MORGAN'S TALK A Man with Happy Faculty in Deny- ing Applications and Requests— Patron Saint of the Harassed Bural Mail Carrier. “p yp A SHIN cTon— — Congress has final- \ ly abolished the : Practice of having id — to the members 44 of the house and an S senate on the first aia day of the session. SMe ays ‘The senate took Sy the initiative last ay LN year when it W passed a resolu- a er Congress has final- ly abolished the practice of having flowers presented to the members of the house and senate on the first day of the session. The senate took the initiative last year when it Passed a resolu- tion forbidding the placing of flowers in the senate chamber. Speaker Cannon took the matter into his own hands so far as the house is concerned this year and instructed the employes not to allow any floral display on the floor of the house. ‘The giving of flowers had been car- ried to a ridiculous extent. The desks of members were so piled up with floral pieces that nothing else could be seen and the crowded hall looked more Uke a floral exhibit than a legislative chamber. It got to be so that the friends of various statesmen attempted to outdo each other in the size and gorgeousness of the floral gifts that were sent in on the first day of the session. It became a common practice that secretaries to members and senators ‘would institute a regular campaign for funds from clerks in the departments ‘who were from the district or state, ‘and these contributions were ina small way a sort of blackmail. The poor clerks believed they could improve their standing with the senator or member by giving up from their hard- earned stipends one to five dollars for ffowers. This practice became known to leaders in congress and they deter- mined to put a stop to it, and there ‘will be no more ostentatious display of fiowers on the members’ desks. The exhibit always detracted from the dig- nity of congress, and it was a common remark that men of the least prom!- nence and ability usually secured the biggest bouquet. An Old Man of Vigor. ENATOR gan of A a is now 1 ‘% twenty-nint x! of service Soa gress, and Nez Zn Cighty-seoor BQ of his ag i . comes to tl } = cress with 'N@ and determ = Ss $ that might \YAR/ terize a 1‘ ~ears yo ee eee is now in his twenty-ninth year of service in con- gress, and in the eighty-second year of his age. He comes to this con- gress with a vigor and determination that might charac- terize a man 20 years younger than he is He has no idea of allowing four score and two years to bar him from the most active participation in the ‘legislation of the country, He has come prepared to debate all the important questions “iat will be before congress. He 1s Siving particular attention to the rail- ¥ay rate question and has the inde- pendence to hold views that are con- ary to those of a majority of his democratic colleagues. Senator Morgan was always noted for bis independence of action. This he demonstrated most effectively dur- ing President Cleveland's last adminis- tration. when he, as one of the demo- cratic leaders in the senate, caused a 800d deal of astonishment by opposing many of the administration policies. It was he who made famous the term “cuckoo statesman.” One day in an- swering Senator Vilas of Wisconsin, who was the administration's spokes- man on the floor, Senator Morgan re- ferred to those who answered “cuckoo” every time the white house clock Struck. The application was so perti- nent and humorous that the senate fairly roared, especially as Mr. Morgan seldom indulged in wit or humor. The Alabama senator proposes to ‘have @ voice in public affairs as long as bis brain is able to conceive ideas and his tongue to utter them. His Speeches and his statements in “he Public press are usually of a very fl- luminating character and the young men of the senate are ready to accord Mr. Morgan a hearing, although it re- Guires a good deal of patience to sit Sut “his speeches, which sometimes last for days. Senator Pettus of Alabama. ENATOR PET” wal ‘of Alabama, » ay’) league of Sen MS ues to be prob ey the. most pic esque characte 5 public life. H % now in his elg fifth year, an really posse ot more phy vigor than his ee en oe ENATUR PEIIUS, we of Alabama, » col- wT league of Senator eg Morgan, contin- ues to be probably em the most pictur- esque character in i public life. He 1s 3 now in his eighty- fifth year, and is Teally possessed ot more physical Vigor than his col- league, although he does not put so much strain upon it Mr. Pettus is not one of those who piitise im “long talks’ “in the senate. fSenerally has some pertinent and Hluminating observations to make on the prineipal subjects before that body, but he has no difficulty in defining his Position in one-tenth the time that Mr. ‘Morgan occupies in the same duty. Senator Pettus is known as the “Chi- ese Mandarin” because of his remark- able physical appearance to the late Chinese statesman, Li Hung Chang. He is a trifle over six feet in height, like the late Earl Li, and wears a mustache and imperial that give him the fsctal expression of the Chinaman. To augment the resemblance the sen. ator wears a pair of very large specta- cles with steel bows. Senator. Pettus attributes his long life and his ability to stand hard work to early rising and Tegularity of habits. He is up by five O'clock in the morning at all seasons of the year, breakfasts between six and Seven and does his work in daylight. He is ready to retire at “early candle light,” and only on rare occasions does he put on his evening clothes and at- tend a dinner or other society func- tion. Senator Pettus is almost a connect- ing link between revolutionary times and the present. His grandfather, on his mother’s side, was Capt. Anthony Winston, of Virginia, a revolutionary soldier of distinction. The senator's ‘own activities extend over two-thirds of a century. He began the study of law about 66 years agc and was admit- ted to the bar 6¢ years ago and has Practiced ever since except for the tiem he served as a lieutenant in the Mexican war and as an officer of the confederacy in the civil war, which he entered as a lieutenant colonel and came out as a brigadier general. Mr. Pettus has over three years to serve and the prospects are that at the end of the term he will be vigorous enough to seek a reelection. The Right Man. ggg, > U RT H ASSIST- py ant Postmaster General De Graw is proving to be the one man tt 10,000 for the place. He is the buffer bet weer congressmen and the post master general and the man to whom thousand and one enmaleieta and Protests come, which he must answer in a way to placate all parties. Mr. De Graw is a great, big man, physical- ly, with a wonderful fund of good na- ture and the very happy faculty of denying applications and requests in 8 way that gives no offense, but rather tickles the pride and humor of the congressman or postmaster. As the official who nas in charge the rufal free delivery service, Mr. De Graw comes in contact with some odd Peopie aml hears some very unique ex- Periences. He is looked on as the patron saint of the rural mail carrier, and they relate to aim all their trials and tribulations. The life of the rural carrer is full of unique experiences, and all is not “beer and skittles” in thelr daily existence. They unfortu- nately make enemies on their routes, who try to interfere“with their per- formance of duty. A carrier up ip Pennsylvania wrote to Mr. eD Graw the other day, detailing his recent ex- perience as follows: As I was on my way from Lerays- ville to Rummerfield with the mati they ‘had a jot of sticks in the road way, and one stuck in one of my wag- on wheels. I got out to remove it and found one end fast with wire and. somewhat vered, I removed it, and be gan to remove the others. John Blank’: wife ran from the house with a large dipper full of water and threw it on me, elso the second one, and then hit me on the back with the dipper and then grabbed up a hoe which was on the yard fence, or near it, and hit me across my back three times, and the last time she hit she broke the handle. By ‘hat time I had removed all the sticks I could get loose.” ‘Mr. De Graw could send no great comfort to this badly misused mail car- rier. Speaker Cannon Busy. PEAKER non has hi full nowad ing to find for all tt members 1 > present he r epreser He has be pelled to Se ere coer rears non has his hands full nowadays try- ing to find places fer all the new members fof the Present house of representatives. He has been com- pelled to take from the demo- rats some 12 or 15 places, in order to ‘accommodate the increased republican membership. In the last house ther were 210 republicans and 176 demo- crats, “With a membership of 54 per cent. the republicans enjoyed 62 per cent. of the committee appointments, numbering all told 759. ‘Speaker Cannon has figured out that in the present house the republicans have nearly 64 per cent. of the mem- bership, and if they were given the same proportion of ccmmittee assign- ments as in the last house they would receive 73 per cent. of the total com- mittee membership. This is too much and would require too great a reduc- tion of the democratic membership to appear absolutely fair. So the speaker has taken another basis for committee assignments. He finds that while there will be 66 new republican mem- bers to be taken care of in the com- ing congress there will be but 15 new Jeqocratic members. Under this plan he has been com- pelled to disappoint a great mamy re- publicans, ang democrats are kicking because they have lost a dozen com- mittee places. The speaker advises Mr. John Sharp Williams, of Missis- sippl, the minority leader on the floor, «© take out his pencil and do a little figuring. He says he believes that “John Sharp,” as he affectionately calls his democratic friend, will find that the democrats have been most penerously treated. ON GAIT ‘AND POSTURE. Habit Is Everything in These Mat ters—One Should Zealously Work tor Good Style. Each person's gait is characteristic. The hopeful woman has a hopeful, ‘springy gait; the despondent one, a dragging, despondent walk. If you want to find out a person's peculiarities watch ‘his walk. Is it strong and vigorouswr weak and vacillating? Is it firm and de- cided os faltering and uncertain? As the walk is so is the character. The predominating characteristic of most women’s walk is indecision. In youth this carries itself in a certain un- certain swaying of the body; in age, when accompanied with stoutness, it changes to the fateful and hateful wad- dle. Watch a number of women walk up a theater aisle; out of a dozen there will not me one whose walk in any way compares with the floating, gliding f i YA lie =i method of locomotion which is the pop- war ideal of what a woman's walk should be. Aside from her character a woman's walk is an index to her breeding. The girl who walks down the street swing- ing her arms like pump handles may have the happiest disposition in the ‘world, but a little restraint exerted over her flying members would give the pass- ‘ers-by a more favorable impression of her bringing up and self-control. |. A woman's walk should be light and ‘buoyant, with head erect in a natural position and chest up. All the move- ments should suggest ease. The leg should swing out from the hip, and the ball of the foot should first strike the ground——never the heel. The young peasant women of southern Europe, who are used to carrying baskets on their heads, walk more like daughters of the gods than most of our physical culture advocates, and usually balancing a jar or basket on the head will help one gain a firm and erect walk, provided one prac- tices in a room of sufficient size or out of doors. It takes more practice to walk well than to do many a more difficuit feat, but a graceful walk is a peculiar and rare charm in either man or woman and one worth seeking, for to achieve a good carriage is to go a long way toward de- veloping those good qualities of mind and spirit that are indicated by the cor- rect walk_ A CHRISTENING PARTY. Dame Courtesy Demands the Observ- ance of Certain Prescribed Simian | You should write informal notes, | asking friends and relatives to attend | the christening, says Elizabeth Biddle, in the Philadelphia Press, or you ‘may send a written invitation word- ed as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Hunter Worthington request the pleasure of your company at the christening of their infant son, James Henry, on Thursday, July the twentieth, at twelve o'clock. WOODSIDE. ‘A boy should have two godfathers ‘and one godmother; the order is re- versed in the case of a gir. Parents should not stand as sponsors, as they will naturally have the care and re- sponsibilities as parents and will be expected to look after the welfare of the child in every respec. ‘The nurse may carry the baby until the child’s name is to be given when the godmother then takes the baby and hands it to the clergymar, at the same time giving the child’s 1ame in a very distinct tone. After the child has been baptized the clergyman re- stores it to the godmother and she in turn gives it to the nurse or the mother. The drawing-room should be decor- ated with plants and cut flowers. White should be the prevailing color. ‘A space should be cleared in the cen- ter of the room and a table covered with fine white linen cloth should be stood a little at one side. On this should be placed a silver or glass bow! of water and some cut flowers. As I do not know to what church you belong I cannot give you further advice as to what will be necessary. You should consult your rector on the subject. After the ceremony is over it would be best to serve a breakfast for the guests, at small tables or “en buffet” just as you wish. ‘The table should be'decorated with white flowers and ferns and tall white candles unsbaded set in giass or sil- ver candlesticks should be stood in = circle around the centerpiece and at the corners. A menu in which every- thing is white would be particularly appropriate and, if you wish to do so, it would be very nice for you to give some inexpensive souvenir to each of your guests.

The ticca sharry wallah is becoming really alarmed, for his hire is in less request ‘and soon he may pass off the face of the earth altogether. ‘The recent reliability trials, Poona to Satara and back, for the Aga Khan's cup, showed up a six horse-power car in a very favorable light. This car, driven by Lieut. Jenkins, won the cup, but, while it did so well, other cars ac- quitted themselves most creditably and demonstrated that reliability is assured to users of motor cars in India. Every native ruler and chief in the country now possesses a stableful of motor cars, and when the prince and Princess of Wales pay their visits to these native potentates they will be met.

Youngsters of Wisconsin Town Band Together for That Purposs, “Not many cities of the same size go ahead of Sheboygan for public spirit,” Says a cttizen of Checago, according to the Milwaukee Sentinel. “I have just returned from my first visit to the city ‘and it was a revelation. “The school children all wear green Duttons, and after I had seen several hundred of these about the streets I asked @ merchant what they signified. He said that the children had all been banded into a society to keep the city neat and clean. Each child who joins is given a button, and from then on it is Bis duty to keep the streets and yards cleared of the little bits of paper and other waste material which present such an unsightly appearance. - “The youngsters have entered thor- oughly into the spirit of the thing.

Marcas ibaa (ae), 290 8, Cage | The All Important Thing. The freshman's luggage, neatly packed, lay below, and while the hansom wait, the youth hurried in to bid his father good-by. "My son," said the old man, solemnly. "this occasion is a momentous one. The doors of life lie open before you. There are many things on which I might advise you. But I will say only this: Don't, under any circumstances, allow your studies to interfere with your athletics."—Detroit Free Press. Clutching at Straws Weariman—Is this the office of Quigley's quick cure? Patent Medicine Man—Yes. "Gimme six bottles for my wife." "Tried all other remedies without success—eh?" "No, she ain't ill at all; but I saw in your advertisement where a woman wrote after taking six bottles: 'I am a different woman,' and I have hopes." —Stray Stories. Paper Materials "This paper is made of banana skins," said the salesman. "This is made of seaweed. The yellow in the corner is made of corn husks. Almost anything that you can reduce into pulp will do for paper," he went on. "I have seen paper made of beanstalks, peastalks, weeds, straw, coconut fiber, hair, fur and wool waste." Idea of the Turbine The modern steam turbine was in some respects anticipated by an invention of an Italian architect named Branca, who lived in the seventeenth century. In far more distant times the engine devised by Hero was at least a hint of the turbine which is now making headway against the familiar reciprocating steam engine. Thirty Hours at the Piano Hert Berg, the "iron pianist," who set himself the task of playing the piano continuously for 30 hours at the Brighton aquarium, successfully completed the feat. In the course of his performance he played between 500 and 600 pieces, including the march from "Tannhauser" and Liszt's "Rhapsody." Confined Sound. The intensity of confined sound is well demonstrated at Carisbrooke castle, isle of Wight, where there is a well 200 feet deep and 12 feet in diameter, lined with smooth masonry. If a pin is dropped into it the sound of it striking the surface of the water, 182 feet below, can be distinctly heard. Careless Observation. Careless, indifferent observation does not go back of the eye. If the mind is not focussed, the image is not clear-cut, and is not carried with force and distinctness enough to the brain to enable it to get at the truth and draw accurate conclusions.—Success Magazine. Chinese Wind Wagon The "wind cart" used for irrigation purposes by the Chinese consists of eight tall mat sails, fixed perpendicularly on a wooden frame. The sails go round with the wind, which causes the water from the river to be pumped through a trough. Maligned Empress According to Miss Katherine Carl, who painted a portrait of the dowager empress of China, the impression that she is a bloodthirsty wretch is erroneous. Miss Cal found he not only pleasing but also a vey intellectual woman. Accomplished Butcher August Forster, who is more than a millionaire, and a son of a recently deceased St. Louis packer, is slaughtering hogs at ten dollars a week. He is 22 years old, and a graduate of the University of Missouri. First Single Rail System. On the Coney Island meadows there still stand sections of the structure of the first single rail system built in this country, which was to convey holiday seekers to the seashore at the rate of a mile a minute. Sheet Iron. Sheet iron can now be rolled so thin that it takes 15,000 sheets to make a single inch in thickness. Light shines as clearly through one of these sheets as through ordinary tissue paper. Sign of Domestic Storm Bart Haswell, who was married last week, came out on his front porch the other morning and kicked the dog twice.-Wolie.burg (Mo.) Record. Largest Lumber Cargo. Norfolk, Va., shipped recently the largest single cargo of lumber ever sent out-1,250,000 feet of North Carolina pine, for New York firms. Turning the Tables A year ago Russia was ruthlessly trying to Russianize Finland. Now Russia herself is being Finlandized. N. Y. Tribune. May Return. When a girl gives a wedding present she feels that she is merely casting her bread on the waters.—N. Y. Times. Great Egg Eater Pierre Dalbec, a French Canadian ate 48 boiled eggs at a sitting recently in order to win a wager. Not Stuffed. Political clubs are used chiefly to put opposing candidates out of business. Engine's Puffs. An engine going a mile a minute gives 20 puffs a second. . Ship's Eventful Trip. The transport Logan, which arrived at San Francisco from Manila recently, had a somewhat eventful trip, as it included an attempted murder, a typhoon, a suicide and a series of thefts from staterooms. The Logan was in Manila bay during the great typhoon and rescued many Filipinos. In one native boat was a Filipino, his wife, a baby and a pig. The Kampino first sent the pig up the Logan's side, then the baby, and was coming up next himself, but at that point the Logan's crew drew the line and insisted on precedence for Mrs. Filipino. Loubet's Retirement President Loubet says he will probably withdraw from politics altogether when his present term expires. He could have a reelection, but will not. "I could be of use," he adds, naively, "as a member of the senate, but while my district would probably send me to the chamber of deputies the department would not elect me senator. I am considered too conservative and not sufficiently republican." Right and Left-Handed In all right-handed persons the strength of the left hand is found by Prof. Caster, a French physiologist, to be about nine-tenths of that of the right hand. Quite curiously, the movement of supination, or turning the palm upward by rotating the forearm, is more powerful than the opposite pronation, or turning the palm down by outward rotation. A Hard Rider. Among Lord Roberts' countless claims to distinction it is little known that he is one of the best and hardiest riders in the British army. In his younger days he was nicknamed "Jehu" "because he rideth furiously," and even to-day his staff must be good riders and well mounted in order to keep pace with him. Good Reason. She--You are depressed. I didn't know you cared so much for your uncle. He.-I didn't; but I was the means of keeping him in an insane asylum the last year of his life, and now that he has left me all his money I've got to prove that he was of sound mind.—Tit-Bits. Man's Proverbs. Men and men only are responsible for proverbs. By far the greater number of proverbs relating to women are calumnies, gross perversions of fact neither appropriate nor self-entailed, but due to the malice, stupidity and inaccuracy of—those who made them. London Gentlewoman. Titled Gardener. The duke of Bedford, the ground landlord of Covent Garden market, London, derives over $75,000 a year from that space alone. It came into the possession of the Befford family three centuries ago, at a time when its yearly value was estimated at about $32. In Mitigation. Gwilliams—Your favorite authors are Rudyard Kipling and Henry James? That's the oddest combination I ever heard of. Slipt—O. I don't know. I find Henry James admirable as a chaser.—Chicago Tribune. Various Men. How various is man! One of him was shot for a bear out in Michigan the other day; another was killed for a rabbit down in South Carolina, and one bit the dust in Maine because he resembled a deer—Newark News. Got Back at Editor For revenge on the editor of the Neuesten Nachrichten. Bamberg, Germany, who had published an unappreciative account of their exploits, some burglar entered his house and smashed everything on the premises. Doctor Work Wanted. In the "Situations Wanted" in the London Express was this advertisement: "Galloping consumption of means; Dr. Work wanted. Address, Patient, Bed 648, Dally Express, Tudor street." Fifth Cardinal It is considered probable that the Most Rev. Francis Bourne, archbishop of Westminster, will be chosen as the fifth cardinal to be appointed at the next consistory in Rome. Largest Grain Cargo Chicago shipped the largest single cargo of grain, consisting of 235,000 bushels of corn and 58,000 bushels of barley, aggregating 7,972 tons. Tobacco in Ireland Sir Conan Doyle and other public-spirited men have started in to ascertain whether tobacco can be grown profitably in Ireland. Good Suplv. She—Where do you get your inspiration from? The Author—From my creditors.—Life. Eaten by Celestials Bracken, like that to be found all over England, is much used in China and Japan as an article of food. People Afloat About 3,500,000 people are on the sea, either as passengers or seamen, every day in the year. Tiger Meat Edible. Beasts of prey are not good for food. The tiger is the one exception to this rule. French Bakera. Bakers in France are subjected to several unusual rules and regulations. In large fortified towns, for instance, they must always have a certain stock in hand in case of war. Not only this, but everywhere they have to deposit a sum of money in the hands of the municipal authorities as a surety of good conduct; and the law, not content with merely looking after their weights and measures, actually decides the price at which bread is sold. His Regret Sincere "Have you got to perform an operation on me, doctor?" "I am sorry to say I have." "What ails me?" "Before I answer that question, my dear sir, let me ask you one. What is your financial condition?" "I am as poor as Job's turkey." "Then, sir, I—er—regret still more deeply to say that your aliment is appendicitis."—Chicago Tribune. Paper Saucepans. Compressed paper pulp, impregnated with certain salts, is molded into the form of saucepans, which, on account of their lightness, were used largely by the Japanese army in Manchuria. They stand the fire well, provided they be kept full of liquid. They have been adopted by the German army and have been introduced into Antwerp. No Mistake Here "We all laugh at the story of the man who took a bath every Fourth of July whether he needed it or not," remarked the Old Codger, "but there's a whole lot of prosperous business men that think they've done their full duty by their Heavenly Father if they go to church regularly every Thanksgiving day."—Chicago Sun. Statue Too Bulky. The equestrian statue of "Physical Energy," made in London, to be erected on the Matoppo hills, South Africa, as a memorial to Cecil Rhodes, has been found too bulky and heavy for the journey. It now lies in an express company's yard until a decision is reached as to what shall be done with it. Disastrous Oversight In a Berlin music hall one night lately a conjurer was pretending to catch heavy iron balls on his face. But his assistant forgot to change one of the iron balls exhibited for a light globe, and after the conjuror had received the ball in his face he had to be taken to a hospital. Pays to Be Quick Witted "It has come to my ears," remarked Miss De Playne, "that you said my face would make a man climb a fence." "Yes, that's what I said," replied the diplomatic one; "but, of course, I meant if he happened to be on the other side of the fence." - Stray Stories. Old Prescriptions. A London coroner remarked recently that a law should be passed against the use of old medical prescriptions. Prescriptions useful at one time, he said, may be readily when used again by people whose physical condition has wholly changed. "Walking King" Halted. John Clarke, "the walking king," was walking around the world for a wager till November 4. On that day he was arrested at Grimsbay, England, for stealing two rings, and will not be able to walk for eight months. Aged Zulu. A Zulu named Kwezi, living in Alfred county, Natal, has died at the advanced age of 117 years. Meat and milk were the principal articles of his diet. His sister, three years older than himself, still lives. Chauffeur's Big Pay. It is declared on the authority of a leading member of the Automobile club of America that there is one chauffeur in New York city who is receiving an annual salary of $6,000. Paris Rufflans. The "Apaches," the roughs of Paris, are being instructed in jiu-jitsu by an ex-convict and ex-prize fighter, so as to be on even terms with the police, who are also being instructed in the art. Russia's Dark Dava. The long rigor of a Russian winter lies just before a land miserable and poverty-stricken in the mild weather of autumn.—Cleveland Leader. Deepest Bog. The deepest bog in Great Britain is to be found at Tregaron, in Cardigan-shire, where the peat is from 20 to 25 feet in thickness. Nothing Doing. Nickler—How does your steam heater work? Bocker—Like a life insurance president.—N. Y. Sun. First Impression. "Papa, what is culture?" "My son, it's what some people have before you know them."—Town and Country. Oxford Press. The University Press, at Oxford, England, prints books in 150 different languages. Small Spuds. In Greenland potatoes never grow to be larger than marbles. Sailors Lost. Each year seven sailors in every 1,000 are lost at sea. J. A. O'Donnell, H. D. Coghlin, O'Donnell & Coghlin Attorneys at Law Phone 264 Main Metropolitan Block N. W. Cor. LaSalle & Randolph Sts.
