The Broad Ax

Of Speaking Out Against Oppression of Colored People in the South And Not to Desecrate Their Pulpits with Colored Men Who Cover Up that Oppression and Speak for the Enemy-Reasons Given. Will you kindly grant me space to see a word to the limbate of the American Negro? It is 2 a clock in the morning, but sleep has departed from me and I am minded to say a word to the Church of the living God as to our condition in this country, in all ages past, when matters of State became unbearably corrupt, God enjoined it upon preacher and prophet to go to heads of State and leaders of the people and tell them to their teeth that throughout the kingdom a change of legislation is divinely demanded, now and at once! Noah warned the powers, Moses stood Pharaoh face to face in the name of God, Daniel did not finch from Nebuchadnezzar! The preacher, said to King David: "Thon art the man!" John, the Baptist, spoke plainly to Herod of his sinful life with Herodian Paul spoke plainly before the kings at Rome and elsewhere. This is only a few of thousands of recorded cases where the Church of God has come to the public rescue and intervention against governmental corruption! Colored Ministry Will Be Held Re- responsible You have insisted upon separate churches and religious institutions. If this your race, God's chosen, is to be destroyed by cowardly, demoralized, money-getting leadership, woe, woe, woe! to the Negro ministry of America! All the innocent blood that now cries unto God from the ground for vengeance and that which is being spilled will be required at your hands! God forbid that this should come to pass. The Murder of Parden's Boy. Who till his dying day can forget the story told at Cooper Union by Parden, the man of Chattanooga, who so ably defended our brother, Ed. Johnson? See those two beasts of deepest hell approach his only son of 10 years as he stands by his mother's side. One of them drives his knife down through his shoulder to the lungs, the other drives his knife from the back under the shoulder to the lungs! Oh, ministers of the living God, in His holy name and the name for your own race, will you not arise to this awful occasion? Lynched. Are our women and infants raping Southern white women? If not, why are they being an systematically murdered in that section as though they were so many serpents? Why was Postmaster Baker's baby shot dead in its father's arms and both cremated in the flames of their own dwelling? Whom had the father raped? What sin had he done? When Parden was narrating his awful experiences in Tennessee I saw women, white and black, freely bring their handkerchiefs into play. I saw dark shades of horror cover the faces of well known ministers. But our ministers too soon forget! Their public protests against ruthless mob violence now covering the country are far too feeble and spasmodic. I hazard nothing in saying that the Negro ministry has yielded far too much of the religious field to the State, and Political highwaymen. This has been for two reasons; policy or peace's sake, or lack of knowledge as to duty. White Preachers Would Not Let Traitors Desecrate Their Pulpits If, instead of Negroes, there were ten millions of whites, men, women and children, being so outraged in the South, every pulpit in this land filled by white preachers would be converted into a political platform in a single night in sacred vindication of their race. This would be nothing more than their ministerial duty! It is no less yours! Instead of being permitted to desecrate holy synods, church conferences and Baptist conventions, such men as Booker Washington would be given a tattor's due. Why Listen to Pet of the Whites? It has come to this, whose cries will you heed, those of the white people's individual pet, Booker Washington, or your own poor mob ridden race? Booker Washington, with all the police power of the country guarding his every step, with an inside track on the public press to sound his praises, has his traveling expenses a thousand times paid by the race he serves, and you allow this highly paid puppet of the enemy to say what is best for you and your sacred charges, educationally, morally and politically! And you accept! Is there any wonder we have trouble? He tells the race it can get on without this great police protection that greets him at every town, city and railroad station in the land! He says we are not ready for the safeguard of the laws and first class railroad accommodations and the respect of the whites that he and his enjoy! And you sustain him! Meanwhile come the cries and dying groans of ten million of your brethren from the same section, protesting from the flames of fire and rivers of blood—lunescent blood—every word this bloomed pet tells you! The evidence is one against nine million, nine hundred thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine—all Color- HEW TO THE LINE. CHICAGO, OCTOBER 27, 1906 [Name] Candidate for Chief Justice of the Municipal Courts. It will be nothing less than a public calamity, if Judge Hiram T. Gilbert is not elected Chief Justice of the Municipal Courts. The following are among the reasons: 1. Judge Gilbert wrote the municipal courts law. He spent months and months studying and perfecting it. He took the best from other jurisdictions and improved upon it. He understands the subject as does no one else. 1.

It is no small task to do the work oncial system with another, and the public should be had. There is not an abler lawyer. Judge Gilbert. It is seldom that men of his to public interests as he has done in this Chicago's sake should choose him to execute so carefully and patiently planned. 10. Judge Gilbert will take a personal carrying out the provisions of the law, and in Municipal Court system will soon be point world over. 2. He worked for the act and got it through the legislature in good form. 3. He has written a treatise on the subject of municipal courts and has analyzed every section in the law. This treatise is now published in book form with full notes and explanations. 4. When the municipal courts act was attacked in the courts by its enemies, Judge Gilbert defended it successfully in the Supreme Court. And thus, owing to his efforts more than any other, the corrupt system of justices and constables was wiped out forever. 5. Rules of practice are required in the various municipal courts for the expedition of business. Judge Gilbert has prepared all these, devoting an immense amount of time and study to the subject. 6. Forms, usually called "blanks," are needed. There are many forms of petitions, executions, summonses, writs, etc., which will be in constant use. Everything of this kind must be ready the moment the new courts open. The preparation of these blanks alone is a tremendous task. But Judge Gilbert has attended to it. They will all be ready. 7. The down town part of the municipal courts is to be located in a new building on Michigan avenue. Judge Gilbert has planned and arranged this building, providing for twenty-three court rooms and the necessary clerks' offices. The clerks' offices as planned are to be the most modern and convenient for the care of business. 8. The Chief Justice of the Municipal Courts will have entire charge of the whole system, assigning the associate judges, clerks and bailiffs to their various parts of the work. The election of Judge Gilbert means that this new system, which means so much to Chicago, will be put into execution by the one who best understands it, and by one who will devote his time and energy to it, even to the minutest detail. It also means that civil service will be enforced and that "pull" and "graft" will not be recognized. Judge Gilbert is a man of great executive ability and determination. 9. It is no small task to do the work of transplanting one judicial system with another, and the public should employ the best talent to be had. There is not an abler lawyer in the community than Judge Gilbert. It is seldom that men of his ability devote their time to public interests as he has done in this instance. Chicago for Chicago's sake should choose him to execute the work which he has so carefully and patiently planned. 10. Judge Gilbert will take a personal interest and pride in carrying out the provisions of the law, and if he is elected Chicago's Municipal Court system will soon be pointed to as a model the world over. rived at the Virginia Hotel Tuesday evening, Doctor Dudley looked him over carefully, and ordered him to refrain from leaving his apartments for the next two or three weeks, which means, that the "Man of Deathy" will be unable to make any speeches and to whoop it up, for the Democratic ticket of Cook County.

AN INTERESTING STORY WRITTEN EXPRESSLY FOR THE BROAD AX, BY COL. CLARKE IRVINE OREGON, MO. CHAPTER II. The readers should be told that Ben the husband and father had by his superior ability as a workman at a trade in which wages were then very high for first class workmen as he was himself, been able long before to purchase his wife from her owner. She being free of course her boy was free. The elder Ben himself was born of a free black woman who had come with her family from one of the West India Islands and settled at Baltimore. At sight of the boy his excitable mother rushed to him and embraced him exclaiming, "Here you are! Where have you been? What have you been doing? What is that you have in your hand? Tell me quick!! "Come old woman" said the father, "let him go." How much more do you want to know? And did you never see a letter before? "I" spose you will want to read it next? Give it to her little Ben to read!! "No! No! I can't read it, nor can you. And if I had my way neither could little Ben. That was one of our big quarrels when you put the boy at a school." "And you still think it will be best for him to be as ignorant as we are." Come my poor woman. Let us see about it. Suppose our boy is not able to read this letter? Whose letter is it boy? "It is for you, father." said the boy. Very good. Suppose he can't read it? We must go to a neighbor to ask him or her to read it for us. Neighbors will find out what it is about and tattle it all around, wouldn't you be ashamed some? "Yes, I spect you are right, ole' man, but let that go now and let me hear what is in that letter. I can't bear for you and the child to be keeping secrets from me. "There, there, Be quiet! No body is trying to hide anything from you that you should know, and now my boy, read it out to us. We will not have to go to any neighbor or to a squire to get it read as it happens!" "Father, this letter was handed to me by Mister Cottier, for me to hand to you!" said the boy. "From your boss Mr. Cottier, All right—read it!" Mr. Ben Banneker, senior "Senior! Who is he? Do we know him?" Exclaimd the woman. "Never mind just now, Maybe little tie Ben, is acquainted with him. But I would be glad if you will let him read the letter how, will you?" "Read away then chile! But I do wonder to see my boy read a letter. I'm sure we both couldn't do it ole' man." Said she gazing with admiration at her own and beloved chick. "No! and I tell you my woman, neither can he read it—I swear if you don't hold your talk. Go on now Ben." "Well father here I begin again. Mr. Ben Banneker, Senior. "I send this letter to you by your son who has been in my employment for several months past with the understanding between you and me that if his conduct and services proved satisfactory I am to take him for two years to attend with me in my book store, library, as assistant, messenger, clerk if he proves able to act as such. At the end of six months I am to pay him as we have agreed. Till then I am to pay his board and clothe him. I am to let him as he has requested, have two hours daily No. 1 to read 'and study. Sundays he will have to himself. This contract to end two years from this date. May 19, 1748. Witness my signature, R. F. OTTIER. "There old goody! What you think of that letter? When we first quarrelled over our little Ben, going to school or learning to read you never thought what might come of it. Who was right "asked the man. "O my ole man! You was right. But I am so, so," "So jealous and suspicious. Just remember that hereafter and do not interfere. All goes well." "But Ben, I would like to know——" "Yes, you want to know too soon, or too much. Keep quiet and cool and you may learn all that is good for you." (To be Continued.) THE CLANSMAN" PARTICIPATED A RIOT AMONG THE AFRO- AMERICANS IN PHILADEL- PHIA Rev. Thomas Dixon's play "The Clansman," was on the billboards at the Walnut street, Theatre, Philadelphia, last Monday evening, and as the authorities of that city would not heed the protest of the Colored ministers against permitting the play to be presented for the sole purpose of stirring up race prejudice and creating sentiment in favor of mob and lynch law for Afro-Americans more than three thousand Colored men stormed the doors of the theater, and the riot became so extensive, that the street cars were blocked in many directions and in order to restore order, the director of public safety, McKenny implored the ministers to disperse the crowd of Colored men, promising them that the "Clansman" would be withdrawn from the billboards after that night, and if director McKenny, fails to keep his word then he should be slain with the jaw-bone of an ass. No other race of people on earth would permit themselves, to be vilified and slandered like the Negro is in the "Clansman," without wadding in human blood up to their knees, in order to stop such damnable proceedings! ONE HUNDRED MEMBERS OF THE CHICAGO BAR ASSOCIATION INDORSED F. L. BARNETT FOR JUDGE OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT. It was indeed gratifying to the many friends and supporters of F. L. Barnett, candidate for Municipal Judge, to learn that when the decision of the Chicago Bar Association was made public last Saturday morning; one hundred of its members recorded their votes in favor of his candidacy. This was a remarkably good showing, when we take into consideration the fact; that no Colored lawyers are members of the Chicago Bar Association and that Mr. Barnett did not request one of its members to vote for him. On the official banot, his name will appear opposite to that of Justice Charles H.

Methodist Bishop, Saves Government Bishop John M, Walden, in addressing the Methodist Episcopal ministers association at Cincinnati, Ohio, last Monday on "The Race Problem declared that: "This country will not fill its obligations until the nation comes to consider its relation with the Negro as that of a guardian to a ward. This problem is not a problem of the north alone nor of the south alone. It is a problem for the nation. This nation, which is so rich and powerful, must solve the race question itself. During the days before the war the idea that the Negro was to have when freed his forty acres of land from the government was freely circulated. But when the freedom came no forty acres came with it.

Upham, who is again making a successful race for re-election as a member of the Board of Review, has been very prominent in the business and social affairs of this city for many years. Mr. Upham is one of the most extensive lumber merchants in the United States, and as the President of the Fred W. Upham Lumber Co., he owns and controls several million acres of timber lands, in Porto Rica, he is also vice-president of the Peabody Coal Co., and his company is one of the very few large firms engaged in the coal business in the city employing Colored men as teamsters and this fact speaks volumes for the Peabody Coal Company. --- C The most popular German-American in the State of Illinois, truthful and honest and the next treasurer of Cook County. Among the many sturdy German-Americans, throughout the great state of Illinois, and the city of Chicago, none of them, occupy a warmer spot in the hearts of the great mass of the people, than honest Ernst Hummel. This popular candidate for County Treasurer, was born in Germany and came to this city with his parents in the early part of May 1856, who located on the North side. Mr. Hummel finished his education in the schools he adopted city, and as he approached his manhood, he evinced a liking for politics. In 1875, he was elected as North Town collector and served in that capacity for two terms with great abl- ed man has been charged with laziness. The northern traveler who goes south and comes home is filled with stories of the lazy Colored men he saw about the streets of southern cities. I tell you he saw but few. The Colored man will make a good business man and a good citizen if we only give him the chance. But the problem is with us individually, with the Methodist Episcopal church collectively and with the great United States in a paternal sense." A pretty home wedding was solemnized last Sunday afternoon at the residence of the brides parents Mr. and Mrs. R.

Braddan tied the nuptial knot. Miss Della Johnson was bride's maid and Mr. Craig Morton acted as best man. The bride was attired in a neat fitting white dress and veil and carried a shower bouquet. A dainty wedding luncheon was served. The happy couple will reside at 5030 Armour ave. JAMES C. BURKE Mr. Upham is one of the most public spirited men in Chicago. He is ever ready to labor for its advancement, to beautify it and to make it the finest residential city and greatest commercial center in the world. As a member of the Board of Review Mr. Upham, who is a Prince among the leaders of the Republican party, has endeavored in the past to perform his duties with fairness to the large as well as to small tax-payers, and without any blowing on his part Mr. Upham and his numerous influential friends feel sure of his calling and re-election as a member of the Board of Review!

HONEST ERNST HUMMEL. ity, and in time he was chosen as Alderman for two terms and while serving in the city council, he was never numbered among the grafters or the grand rascals. In time he became a resident of the South side, and in 1885, he was selected to make the race for State Senator and he honorably served the people in that respect. He also had the honor of being a member of the School Board of Hyde Park when that aristocratic town became a part of Chicago. In 1897 the Democracy of this city nominated him for City Treasurer and as Mr. Hummel had never betrayed the people in all the former public positions which they had honored him THE NEW YORK TIMES [Name not visible] President of the Board of Assessors of lar German-American Republican August W.

Aside from Andrew B. Boughan, candidate for County Judge on the Independence League ticket, is a high class lawyer and a first class gentleman in every way, and he has in the past fought against the loan sharks, who make it their business to rob women out of house and home, and his warfare against crime and in favor of track elevation should highly commend him to the voters of Cook county.

On retiring from the Treasurership April 1st 1899, Mr. Hummel was hearly commended by people of all political parties and nationalities on the business like manner in which he conducted the affairs of that office; for like an honest man, he turned over the interest on the public funds to the city, only retaining a reasonable amount to run his office. The leaders of his party again urged Mr. Hummel to make the race for City Treasurer in 1903, and on assuming its duties as he had pledged himself he only accepted a fair salary and again he kept his word and turned the interest on the public funds over to the City of Chicago. Several times while serving as Treasurer, the city had no funds on hands, to pay its firemen and other employees, but in order to make them happy, Mr. Hummel hustled around among the banks and borrowed the money on his own notes. These acts alone have caused those who work for the city, to hall Ernst Hummel, as its best and most popular City Treasurer, and it is needless to say, that they will do everything in their power to boost him along in his race for County Treasurer. Mr. Hummel resides with his interesting family in a lovely home at 10134 ave. M. South Chicago. He is a prominent member of the Schwaben verein, Huaragari Society and other German-American social clubs.

M. J. HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN. The steadfast friend of worthy Afric-Americans, who is making a winning race for re-election to Congress from the First Congressional District of Illinois. There are very few men better known in Chicago than Congressman Martin B. Madden, who was born in this city March 20, 1855; educated in its public schools and business colleges. Early in life Mr. Madden manifested a liking for politics and in 1889 he became a member of the city council and served as a member of that body until 1897, he also presided over its deliberations for two years, and was chairman of the finance committee for five years. In 1896, he served as chairman of the Republican State Convention of Ill., and was a prominent delegate to the Republican National conventions of 1896, and 1900, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Madden successfully dabbles in politics, ne is a clean cut business man, for he is President of the Western Stone Company with offices in the Chamber of Com. Building, he is also one of the directors of the Metropolitan Trust and Savings Bank, which ranks with the strongest financial institutions in Chicago. Two years ago Mr. Madden, was elected to Congress from the First Congressional District of Illinois, and by possessing keen business tack, and a well trained mind he has become a very, useful member of that body. When he began his labors during the first session of the Fifty-ninth Congress, he was appointed by the Speaker a member of the Committee on Appropriations, an honor never before conferred upon a new member of Congress. He offered amendments to the urgent deficiency appropriation bill, the army appropriation bill, the District of Columbia bill to regulate employment of child labor, District of Columbia bill to regulate salaries of CHARLES C. CASE. The Efficient Chief Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Court, and Candidate on the independence League. Ticket for Clerk of That Court. teachers, officers, and employees of the Board of Education, most of which were carried. He also spoke on other important subjects at various times, and succeeded in securing through the pension bureau the allowance of fifty pension claims for old soldiers residing in his district. He also had the honor of presiding over the House as chairman of the whole house on the State of the Union during the consideration and passage of the invalid pension appropriation bill, a bill carrying an amount upwards of $140,000,000. Congressman Madden, has always proven himself a steadfast friend to worthy Afro-American, and he is one of the very few leaders of the Republican party in any section of this nation who never fails to insist that "Colored Republicans must have representation on the county ticket and in other directions." This is to his everlasting credit, and this is one of the reasons why the vast majority of the Afro-American voters in the 1st Congressional District will march on to victory with Congressman Madden November the 6th. GRANVILLE MARTIN ON THE AFRO-AMERICAN MINISTERS. (Concluded from page 1). ed! What is your verdict, rever ends? Have to Depend on White Man to Reveal Race Oppression in Alabama. Fifteen years you have heard something of the political civic race relation in the South through this "preacher of peace." But you never heard of the hell worse than death prevailing even in his own state of Alabama, till Joseph Manning, a white man, gives you the naked truth! Ministers of New York, which do you believe, the man whose statement corroborates every vile thing reported from there or this highly paid messenger of peace? The renilentess war upon everything and every man who attempts to use his people, set by W. R. Hearst, is worthy of ministerial emulation! I have little patience and less faith in the minister who, although commissioned to preach Christ and Him crucified, refuses to preach against mob violence and the like because he don't think "preachers should dabble into politics!" What more does sin, satan, and the mob want of you? You say it is the souls, not the bodies of men, about which I am chiefly concerned. It should be no less one than the other. Men are saved or lost according as they treat each other in life. $p$ it is your solemn duty to boldly attack any and all manner of sin from whatever source, no matter how gigantic! Atlanta Massacre But First of Many A Southern politician who accompanied Mr. Bryan on his late Southern tour said there are fifty other Southern cities ready at any minute to do the same thing that was done the other day in Atlanta! Think of it. Northern ministers! Your Southern brothers are not free to expose this red handed plot deliberately and long since planned! Will you? In the name of Jesus Christ and your commission, will you? Your brother in the Lord and yours for oppressed humanity. Granville Martin, in The Guardian, Boston, Mass. RACE PREJUDICE IN POLITICS. Last week The Broad Ax called attention to the plain purpose on the part of colorphobia voters, to oppose the Colored candidates on the Republican ticket, entirely on account of race prejudice. We said then and repeat now, that such a policy is not only rank injustice to the Colored candidates and their people but is also bad policy for the Republican Party. The Broad Ax has all the time maintained that the present day love of the Republican Party for the Colored people is all a matter of self interest and that all the Party does for Colored people, is done because it will help Republicans to win: That the Republican Party does not do any more for Colored people, than the Democratic Party would do, if the Colored people gave the Democratic ticket the same support they give to Republicans. The returns of the coming election will be watched to see if this contention is proved to be true. The Democratic Party did not name a Colored man for one of its judges; if it had done so, Democrats would vote the ticket straight. The Republicans nominated Mr. Barnett, who is admitted to be one of the ablest men in the State's Attorney's office, and now, after he is on the ticket, Republican politicians and ward workers have been heard to say that they would not vote for a Colored man for judge. In other words they are pretending to be friendly to Colored people in the convention but reserve their race prejudice for the polls. If all the Republican candidates are elected except Mr. Barnett, the Colored people will know where to place the blame. The Broad Ax is supporting Mr. Barnett because of his ability, and his general fitness for the place. His ten years of good work in all departments of the State's Attorney's office, his high standing as a lawyer in the Cook County Courts and in the Supreme Court of this state, deserve the reward of an election to the place on the Bench, for which he has been named. Merit and not color should be the test at the polls, and if this test is fairly made, Mr. Barnett will be elected. While The Broad Ax is always in favor of selecting the best men for judges regardless of party. Not because of his color but because of his fitness, we support Mr. Barnett, and we commend him to our friends as a man who will make a capable, conscientious and just judge. If the Republicans will do the same, they will do justice, not only to a worthy candidate they have named on their ticket, but also to thousands of Colored citizens, without whose vote, Chicago Republicans can never win. DOES THE PRESIDENT CONDONE LYNCHING? Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United tSates has dropped the Colored people of this country about as hard as any politician ever dropped an element which helped elect him to office. Not even the Atlanta massacre moved him to speech or action. But we were hardly ready for the news that, after humiliating the Colored soldiers of the 25th infantry by removing them from Brownsville, Texas, at the request of whites who were enraged because the Colored troops resented their insults, and after affronting the Colored people of the country by removing these Colored troops outside of the State of Texas, he now demands that these soldiers, the same that saved the day at El Caney, must tell which of their comrades took the stand against the Texas whites, or the whole battalion will be dishonorably discharged. But still a more astounding spectacle is presented by the President when he receives with especial cordiality as his guest at the Executive Mansion of the nation the sheriff and deputies whom the Supreme Court has charged with contempt for complicity in the lynching of a Colored prisoner when he was in the custody of the court through the grant of a stay of proceedings! The story of the murder of Ed. Johnson is a most terrible one. The temper of these very white men cited to the Supreme Court is shown by the banishment of the Colored lawyer, Noah W. Parden, because he defended his client. Not being able to get him, they murdered his little boy. Yet these men, charged with complicity in the most audacious lynching in our history, these men whose hands drip with the blood of the unconvicted, are given not only an audience, but a special reception by the Theodore Roosevelt as President of the United States. Does the President want to be understood as prejudging the case, as wishing to give prestige to the men accused of so serious an offence? Is this in the interest of law and order? Can such encouragement to lynch law be safe from the President when the country is so near the verge of anarchy? We doubt whether the President would be inclined or would dare to thus receive men under trial for such an offence if the victim of the lynching had been white. This is not only an indication of contempt for Colored men, but it is a gross inconsideration for their feelings on a matter to them as galling as it is inexpressibly sorrowful.—The Guardian, Boston, Mass. 1910 ALD. DAN V. MARKIN. Democratic Candidate for Associate Justice of the Municipal Court, four year term. MOSES RATCLIFF SURPRISED. On Friday evening last a pleasant surprise party was tendered to Mr. Moses Ratcliff at his home 4850 Dearborn street, in honor of his 44th birthday. He was born in W. Hazelhust, Miss., in 1862. About sixty guests were present, who spent the evening in social games and a general good time. Delicious refreshments were served by the hostess. Mr. Ratcliff was the recipient of a number of nice presents from his many friends, who on departing for their homes wished him many repititions of the happy event. Mrs. Ratcliff also wishes to hank her many friends who assisted her in surprising her husband. Theodore L. Anderson an Afro-American who had for the past three years been a clerk in the registry division of the Chicago postoffice, was arrested last Saturday for stealing letters and packages containing money. He confessed and admitted of getting away with many hundred dollars since last February, and his finish will be in the pen at Joliet. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick L. McGhee, of St. Paul, Minnesota, passed through the city Sunday. They were the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Chas. E.

The mysterious death of Attorney Charles H. Stevenson, who occupied law offices at 100 Washington street, and the finding of his body in an elevator shaft in the rear of 96 the same street last Saturday morning was a terrible shock to his many friends. From October 1, 1899, down to the day of his death, Mr. Stevenson, was one of our warm friends and firm supporters of The Broad Ax and he always conducted himself like a true gentleman, and he was deserving of a much better fate. The Hart Recital at the Institutional Church last Monday was a social and financial success. The social smart set turned out in their evening togs, adding to the brilliancy of the occasion. The programe was highly classical and brief. Mr. Julius N. Avendorch who managed the affair was so highly elated over its success and encouraged by the music lovers of the race that he declared himself a "promoter" and in the future "will arrange two or three high class recitals during the year 1907" using this paper as one of his advertising mediums. Misses Marie Edith Madden, Edith Lee, Vergie Lively, Vivian G. Harsh, Leona V. Daughtry, and Meelie R. Bryant, beautifully attired in white dresses, served as ushers.—"D." BREVITIES THE HALL OF FAME. Mme. Humbert, the great French swindler, has been released from prison at Bennes. Her brother and husband are also free. Thomas F. Anderson, a Boston newspaper man for twenty years, has been appointed by Mayor Fitzgerald of that city head of the newly established publicity bureau. A gift of $100,000 to the Tufts Theological seminary by Albert Crane of Stamford, Conn., in memory of his father, Thomas Crane, is announced. The gift is in the form of an endowment. Frederic Hess, publisher of the German Demokrat of San Francisco, recently celebrated his half century as an editor. He is said to be the oldest newspaper proprietor in the United States. Among those that attended the reunion of the Fourteenth Connecticut was Joseph Pierce of Meriden, Conn. He had the distinction of being the only Chinaman that ever enlisted in the Army of the Potomac. Dr. Robert D'Unger of Chicago has invented a submarine telephone cable which he expects will make it possible for people in this country to talk to people in foreign countries. Dr. D'Unger believes he has solved the problem by means of a dual current. By accepting the post of head of the German colonial office Herr Dernburg makes a great pecuniary sacrifice. He is a director of several banks and of about a dozen of the leading industrial enterprises in Germany, his annual income amounting, it is stated, to about $100,000. He relinquishes this for a salary of $3,750 and an official residence. "Lucky" Baldwin of San Francisco, who lost heavily in the earthquake, announces that he will not abandon his plans for establishing at Broadmoor, Colo., one of the most beautiful country estates in the west. The plans for the estate were drawn by the late Stanford White, and the preliminary outlay involved will, it is said, be over $100,000. Dr. A. R. Crook, for the last twelve years professor of mineralogy and economic geology at Northwestern university, has been appointed curator of the Illinois State Museum of Natural History, at Springfield.

In 1837 the total revenue of the British empire was £75,000,000; today it is £317,000,000. Westmorland, with seven acres to each inhabitant, is the most sparsely populated county in England. When the Atlantic cable was first laid the charge was £20 for a twenty word message; now it is sixpence a word. For army purposes the United Kingdom is now divided into seven commands and one independent district—London. The first British co-operative society was the Rochdale Pioneers' society, established in 1844. There are now 1,469 similar societies in the kingdom. Guinness' brewery covers fifty acres and employs 1,600 men. The works of the bass brewery cover 150 acres, on which are sixteen miles of private railway. MODES OF THE MOMENT. Leather tones are the newest shades in yellow. The Louis Seize shape, a species of exaggerated French sailor, is in vogue as a dress hat. Long lines in back and shorter ones in front seem to be the general tendency in autumn modes rather than the unbroken lines of last season. Very rich and elegant are some of the new broadcloths, which come in a variety never before shown. Browns and terra cottas, all the darker shades of green and the dark grays are to be noted among the most fashionable colors. The perfectly round turban has returned, this time with the trimming, usually a plume or some velvet ribbon loops, starting from the front underneath a rosette or buckle and extending in arched fashion over the top and side, drooping down over the hair at the back.-New York Post. ITEMS FROM ITALY. In Rome's cemeteries over 6,000,000 people are buried. The national debt of Italy is being reduced at the rate of $50,000,000 a year. The Italians do not seem to feel cold when the sky is blue, no matter how low the temperature. It is only when the sky is overcast and the air humid that they complain of a cold spell. In Italy each regiment has its own pictorial post cards, on which are the devices of the regiment, the list of battles in which it has taken part or one of the heroic episodes in which it has figured. The gnawing of a mouse led to the discovery of a valuable work of art in an Italian church at Campo. Annoyed by the persistent gnawing, a priest cut a hole in the wall, when, to his surprise, he came upon a splendid fresco of the Botticelli school. Real Redskin. "What's the trouble, little lad?" asked the kind hearted stranger. "I ran away to play Injun," sobbed the boy in the big blue sweater. "You did, eh? And do you feel anything like a redskin?" "I should say so. When ma got through boxing me my skin was as red as a beet."—Pick-Me-Up. ARCHIBALD J. CAREY President S.
