That at the Last Repent and Be Save Do Not Drink in Religion Will Be Et Gamblers and the Most Disreputable Characters Are Buried from the Leading Colored Churches in Chicago. Afro-Americans in General Entertain Crude Ideas Pertaining to Heaven and the Fiery Lower Regions. They Firmly Believe That at the Last Minute Sinners May Repent and Be Saved, While Those Who Do Not Drink in Their False Ideas of Religion Will Be Eternally Lost. There are two things which are always very dangerous to attempt to discuss or argue with almost any Afro-American—namely his religion and his politics—from the highest to the lowest. Afro-American is such a mental slave to the one political party—the Republican party, that if any other Afro-American should happen to differ with him in politics, or assume an independent attitude in politics he runs the risk of losing his life, and if he is not killed outright, he will be insulted and abused in any way for daring to think and act for himself in political affairs. This being true the average Afro-American is just as intolerant, and bigoted when it comes to differing with him and his hand made ideas in reference to his God, and his religion—from the most intelligent to the most ignorant Afro-American, is so blind, obstinate, and narrow-minded in his zeal in the interest of his so-called religion, that he is not above resorting to many evil ways—even to the extent of committing unlawful acts in order to get even with those who fail to believe in his crude religious ideas, and to worship his man made God like himself! Entertaining such narrow or nonsexual ideas pertaining to his religion, it is no wonder that that class of Afro-Americans—men and women, who claim to be pure or holy Christians, will permit gamblers, murderers, and other disreputable and notorious characters to be buried from the leading Colored churches in this city. Is there any one who can successfully deny or dispute these statements? It is therefore not stretching one point by saying that they are too true for within the past few years some of the most depraved characters both men and women who have in every way been a disgrace to everything that is ennobling, virtue and decency, have on dying been honored to a far greater extent than honest men and women who occupy humbler positions in the various walks of life. Some three or four years ago one of the toughest Colored saloon men and gamblers on State street between 25th and 30th, was shot to death on Dearborn street while making love to another gambler's best girl, and Rev. Abraham Lincoln Murray, who was at that time running Bethel Church, had the remains of that desperate character brought into his church and for a few dollars he preached him into heaven, and when some of the good old sisters remonstrated with him for doing so, he exclaimed that "heaven is full of bold bad men and women who contributed their share to the wickedness of this world. Not many years after Rev. Murray had slobbered all over this gambler and bad man in general, funeral services were held over the remains of --- another swell Colored gambler in Quinn Chapel. It was a big funeral and three or four preachers for a little money were on hand to preach him into heaven regardless of the fact that he was one of the most repulsive characters in Chicago. Later on another prominent Colored sporting map and successful gambler died and notwithstanding the fact that this dishonorable sport looked upon all Colored women as being devoid of virtue and he always took pleasure in boasting that "with his money he could buy any Colored woman in town, married or single, that the mothers of beautiful girls deemed it an honor to sell their daughters to him, and while on earth he always looked upon honest, hardworking Colored men and women with scorn and contempt, and being a gambler he thought himself far above them in every respect. Nevertheless when this distinguished gambler and self-confessed libertine passed away, the church doors swung wide open for him, and the leading preachers, no doubt for money, considered it a great honor to assist to preach him into heaven, where he would be rigged up in a spotless white robe, and occupy a front seat around the throne of grace. By issuing through tickets to heaven to gamblers, thelves, murderers, and immoral women who are willing to sell their virtue for money in order to buy fine dresses and diamonds, the so-called Afro-American Christians are doing everything in their power to place a premium on vice and crime of every description It does seem that the Afro-Americans would realize the fact namely, that by permitting such characters to be buried from their churches who have always led sinful lives, that they, the Christians, hold out no hope not reward to honest and decent men and women who are constantly struggling to live clean lives, so that when they close their eyes in death, it can be said in their behalf that although they were poor, and of lowly birth, that they were unable to beat someone out of money, diamonds and wear fine clothing all the time and to feast on the fat of the land every day; that they were virtuous, modest and honest and that by possessing these three attributes they are entitled to share in the rewards of heaven if there is such a place somewhere in space, and not those who at all times have violated all of the laws of man and the gods!

CHICAGO, OCTOBER 5, 1907. M. HON. WILLIAM E. MASON. Lawyer, brilliant orator, friend of all humanity, who continues to make it mighty interesting for Senator Albert J. Hopkins in his fight for re-election to the United States Senate. JEFFERSON ON EQUALITY OF a warm letter of thanks, saying that THE NEGRO. it always gave him great pleasur "I Tremble for My Country When I Reflect That God Is Just." One of our local daily newspapers a few days since, in pointing out how men do not always live up to their theories, remarked that Thomas Jefferson was an owner of slaves although he wrote the Declaration of Independence which contains the assertion "that all men are created equal." Whereupon one Mr. Douglas Anderson arises to remark that Jefferson had no reference whatever to Negroes when he penned the words quoted. Since Thomas Jefferson is so greatly revered in the South it would perhaps do some good if his real views with regard to the Negro were more generally known. Of course the Clarion is not very widely read among the whites but perchance a copy may fall under the eye of Mr. Anderson and may, by informing him as to the real Jefferson save the white race from the fruits of his lack of understanding. In 1772 Virginia voted an address to King George of England calling for the suppressing of the slave trade. This request was ignored and in the first draft of the Declaration, Jefferson put this in the list of wrongs suffered at the hands of the King, but his colleagues refused to allow this to appear in the Declaration as finally adopted. In 1779 Jefferson submitted to the legislature of Virginia a plan for the gradual emancipation of the slaves but the measure was not considered. It was due to Jefferson's influence that slavery was excluded from the Northwestern territory, and could he have had his way entirely, the whole of the new domain of the nation would have been free from slavery. On one occasion Jefferson wrote as follows with reference to the institution of slavery: "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just." In speaking of the evil effect of slavery upon the white people, he wrote that the white child "thus nursed, educated, and daily exercised in tyranny, cannot but be stamped by it with odious peculiarities." These acts and views of Jefferson are plainly indicative of his views with regard to slavery. Not only did Jefferson feel that the Negro ought to be free, but he gave evidence of liberality of thought on the question of the equality of the races. Benjamin Banneker a Negro scientist, sent Jefferson a copy of an almanac of which he was the author, and Jefferson wrote him a warm letter of thanks, saying that it always gave him great pleasure to discover evidence that Nature had endowed "our Negro brethren with talents equal to those of other races. On another occasion he wrote: "The opinion that they (the Negroes) are inferior must be hazarded with great difference." And later he wrote: "They were gaining daily in the opinions of nations and hopeful advances are making toward their re-establishment on an equal footing with other colors of the human family." Believing that slavery was wrong and that the Negroes were simply a backward and not essentially an inferior people, all the evidence points to the conclusion that Jefferson did have the Negroes in mind when he wrote, "All men are created equal." Others may have been ignorant when they signed this historic document, containing these pregnant words, but Jefferson was not. He saw full well, doubt not that, written where they were, they would be repeated, repeated, repeated, until they became a part of the souls of men and bore fruit in universal freedom and equality.—The Glarion (Nashville, Tenn.) Thomas Jefferson, on one occasion also declared that "One hour of bondage is fraught with more peril than whole ages of our Colonial oppression; that nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate, than that these people are to be free." Like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson freed his slaves, provided homes for them, put them on their feet so that they could shift for themselves. He was a firm believer in the present free school system, and he looked forward to the day when free school houses would be established in every township, throughout all sections of the country. Twenty thousand dollars was placed in his hands to be expended for educational work among the free Colored people, and every dollar of the money was spent for that purpose, thus showing that he firmly believed that the Negro was capable of drinking in education and developing his intellect like unto the men composing the other races!-Editor. Alderman Henry L. Fick, so it is said, has not been spending much money with his country constituents over in the 9th ward, within the past two years, and it is reported that a strong movement will soon be started to force him to tap his barrel, and turn loose a flood of money in the ward between now and the Aldermanic election in the spring of 1908. Charges of Graft Pile Up on Police Widespread Infractions of Saloon Laws Charged by Anti-Crime League. BARS OPEN ALL NIGHT. Protection at Regular Scale Alleged; So Called Clubs Sell Without License. Evidence of police department graft sprang up in a new quarter yesterday. In a report sent to Chief Shippy last night containing the result of an investigation carried on during the last ten days on the north, south and west sides, the board of directors of the Anti-Crime league makes these charges: Favored saloons in all sections of the city are allowed to remain open all night with the open connivance of police officers. All night drinking clubs are operated on the south side without a city license. Disorderly houses have sprung up outside the prescribed red light districts. Women are allowed to solicit on the streets. Patrolmen are loafing on their beats. This report is only preliminary. There is still to be developed the graft scandal that lies behind the blindness of the police toward certain saloonkeepers. Price Scale for Protection. It is charged that a scale of prices has been fixed up with these saloon-keepers, in which they pay to the police from $25 to $75 a week. The man who is doing the collecting is known to the investigators for the league. The most flagrant violations of the law were found in State street. At 2959 State street the Jackson club was found. It is a large room, arranged with many tables and bar service, where hundreds of Negroes of the criminal class gather night after night. The place never closes. It is entered from the street. It has no city license to sell liquor, but has a government license. It is operated by Charles L. Jackson. L. B. Anderson, who is connected with the county attorney's office, is said to be interested in the club. A similar club, where white women were found with Colored men, is operated at 2171 State street by "Bill" Lewis, chief lieutenant of the late "Mushmouth" Johnson. Lewis has no city license, but carries a government card. League Goes Into Details. The report sent to Chief Shippy, signed by Frank J. Shead, chairman of the board of directors, sets forth the conditions as follows: "We find many things which indicate either a willful disposition not to remedy conditions or a laxity and indifference on the part of the police force. "Among other things we find on the south side several places which are run under the guise of clubs, which keep open all night, furnishing music and drinks to all classes of people, both Colored and white. These places have no city licenses. One is located at 357 Thirty-first street, above the Palace saloon and theater, run by Pony Moore. Another is located at 2971 State street, above a livery barn, and the third is at 2959 No. 52 Graft Up on Police ns of Saloon Laws i-Crime League. ALL NIGHT. ar Scale Alleged; So- Without License. State street, over an undertaking shop. Women Openly Parade Street. "We find that women solicit openly along Thirty-first street from State street to Cottage Grove avenue at all hours of the night. "We find numerous slot machines in operation between Twenty-second and thirty-first streets and State street and Cottage Grove Ave. "We find at the southeast and northwest corners of Wabash and Twenty-eighth street, at 199 Twenty-fifth street, and at 2506 Michigan avenue buildings occupied largely by women of the sporting class. These women are selling liquor in flats under a government license and are offering rooms to rent. Upon investigation their places develop into disorderly houses of the kind supposed to be confined to the red light district. "We find that saloons at 270 North Clark street, 264 East Chicago avenue, and several other places in this vicinity keep their bars open after 1 o'clock persistently and that women solicit without hindrance on Clark street from Michigan street to Chicago avenue. Entrance by Pressing Button. "We find that Colling' saloon at 189 West Madison street can be entered at any time after 1 o'clock through a hallway by pressing an electric button. "At 203 West Madison street is a saloon that caters to business after 1 o'clock. "At the northeast corner of Peoria and Madison streets is a saloon with a disorderly house connection. Women solicit in the saloon. "At 203 West Monroe street is a saloon in which women are allowed to solicit unmolested, and which remains open after hours. "At 641 West Madison street women are allowed to solicit. "At 199 West Lake street is a saloon that makes a practice of keeping open all night. "Disorderly houses have sprung up on Sangamon street, between Lake and Randolph streets. Women solicit from houses on Peoria street. Policemen Loafing on Beats. "It is with. extreme regret that we notice a disposition on the part of a great many policemen to drift back into the old habit of loafing on their beats and spending their time in basements and buildings. There are a large number of policemen who seem to feel that they owe the city nothing in the way of service except that which is forced upon them. "The feeling of indifference which is spreading through the department is inspired by a lack of support on the part of the commanding officers and the fear of making arrests. The policemen fear to incur disfavor or transfer through political influence. "Our investigators also find in the three divisions of the city numerous Continued on Page 2.

In su. dition each subway has sufficient roou. for a narrow gauge track, on which will be run ordinary trucks to transfer documents, ete., to and from the cap! tol. A track for passenger cars may be put In, although this particular feature is in rather a hazy state just now Anyhow, the sidewalk will permit those members of congress who retain Powers of locomotion to dash back and forth between the capitol and the oitice buildings without showing their uoses above ground. Furbishing the Capitol. ‘The work on the capitol is nearing completion. "Twas unusually heavy this year. The outside of the big dome was gone over with a magnifying glass and painted with some sort of com pound that stretches and has a cov tempt for weather. Inside in the seu ate wing the rooms of the committees on interstate commerce, privileges and election claims, conference, postotfice ‘and post roads and the chambers of the vice president and sergeant at arms were painted and decorated, and ‘at the house end the rooms of the com: mittees on Indian affairs, private land claims and labor received similar treat ment. The folding room, document room and other business quarters around the capitol also have been gone over. Senate Ventilation. In the supreme court everything paintable has been painted, and the robing room has been given special at- tention. The work certainly should be fine, as it is being done by the artist who restored the Vatican frescoes a couple of years ago. ‘One of the most important pieces of work done at the capitol during the summer was the installation of a new and big exhaust fan over the senate chamber. It 1s thought this will mate- rially Improve the ventilation. Ball Bearing Chairs For Congressmen. ‘The annual housecleaning of the cor- ridors and the 430 rooms for office, committee and storage purposes and the 679 windows, the 560 doorways and the 140 fireplaces has been finish ed. In the house chamber all of the 400 mahogany desks have been scraped ‘and refinished and the 400 chairs fur- ished with new ball bearing castors. Municipal Building Furnishings. ‘The special committee appointed by the commissionefs several months ago to estimate the cost of furnishing and equipping the new municipal building which the District govern- ment anticipates moving into next June furnished their estimate to the commissioners as $135,820. Of this $92,199 will be used for equipments such as metal filing cases, lockers, let- terpresses, counters, partitions, elec trical fixtures, railings, ete. The re- maining $43,627 will be devoted to fur- niture, screens, rugs, mirrors, etc. Public Baths and Laund-ies. Preparatory to submitting their an- nual reports and estimates to congress at the coming session, the commission ers are considering the advisability of providing public baths in the District. ‘They strongly favor the establjshment of public baths and last year recom- mended that an appropriation be made sufficient to build two, but congress turned it down. This year, it is stat- ed, the commissioners will ask for an ‘appropriation for the two public baths ‘and an appropriation with which to es- tablish public baths for the accommo- ation of pupils of the public schools and the establishment of public laun- dries in connection with the public baths. White House Dining Table. At the White House it is stated that the famous dinner set of the Roose- velt home is not being regilded, as re- ported, but that several of the qrna- ments to the tables of the state dining room are in process of being bright- ened up. The most interesting of these ts what is called the plateau, a beauti- fal ornament for the center of the White House table on state occasions.

A New Yorker whose business fre- quently takes him through the south tells of an amusing experience in & country hotel in one of the Carolinas. ‘The New Yorker soon learned that the landlord of this establishment laid it down as one of his principles of ac tion to give his patrons a little more than they asked for—to be “extra ac- commodating,” as be termed it. ‘The New Yorker had left a call for 6 in the morning, so that he might take an early train north, and he went to sleep in the calm assurance that be ‘would be aroused at the proper hour. “I seemed hardly to have fallen inte @ sound slumber,” says be, “when ! beard a terrific pounding at my door.

He also claims to be the champion fencer of the country and has defeated some of the noted swordmen of the world. W. E. Schutt, who has been appointed secretary to President Schurman of Cornell, was a famous two mile runner in his undergraduate days and held the intercollegiate record before going to Oxford as a Rhodes scholar. F. D.

The story goes that Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish learned enough Swedish to welcome Prince Wilhelm in his own language. The prince knows English well, and it is said that his constant companion for a long time in preparation for his American trip was a tutor: who gave him lessons in the colloquial phrases that he would be likely to hear. The late Dr. Josephim had one of the finest collections of violins in the world. One of his most valuable instruments was that presented to him by his admirers in London, formerly the property of Violti and said to have cost $8,000. He had several "Strads," most of which were given to him at one time or another as tokens of appreciation of his skill. Only one man in 150,000 takes snuff. Men tailors sew much better than women.

Skirts, even among the walking skirts, are less full than they have been, the plaiting, if plaiting there be, being less deep and regular. Belts show an unusual variety in that about everything that has ever been worn is worn now, and most of the designs are modeled along old lines. The beautiful new shades of cloth that have come out this season almost universally may be effectively braided, if not in self color, then in some harmonious shade. Buttons are one of the conspicuous features of the new frocks. They are used lavishly in all sizes and are often the most important trimming detail of coat and skirt costumes. Tunic effects appear, as they do, perennially, and some of these tunic skirt models are lovely in sheer supple stuff, but they are not so inevitably becoming as are the skirts of long unbroken lines.—New York Sun. ENGLISH ETCHINGS. The pier at Southend is over a mile and a quarter in length. The king's cook gets £2,000 a year, and he has to work only about two hours a day. Dr. W. G.

The red banana, which is not a novelty in America, is regarded as a curiosity in London, where it costs three times as much as the yellow variety. Edward Yates, who recently died at Welworth, England, leaving a fortune of $3,000,000 in real estate in and about London, began business life as a poor bricklayer. Librarians in many parts of London agree in stating that the public taste for the reading of fiction is showing a very decided falling off and that the popularity of works of travel, history and biography is correspondingly increasing. A New Fashion In Wills. It is quite time that a new fashion in wills should appear, declares Lew Notes. The old style has been to make wills as full of holes as a sieve for the lawyers to fight about. It now seems to be the growing practice in New York to have one's will subjected to expert antemortem construction and criticism. The idea is for the testator to assume that he is dead and to discover by an independent expert examination during his life what is likely to happen to his will after his death. Daniel S. Reamsen of the New York bar, author of "Remsen on the Preparation and Contest of Wills," recently said: "The plan of submitting wills to a rigid criticism after they have been made and before the testator's death is new in the sense of its becoming popular. It is also justified by results. In a majority of cases such examinations reveal one or more weak spots, and frequently grave errors are found in wills drawn by lawyers of high standing. A little caution on the part of Mr. Tilden would have prevented his fiasco. As a result of this movement I predict that the rising generation will be spared much litigation, and many fortunes will be saved from the blight of family discord." Twelve Years In a Bath.

A tupid bath, which has lasted over twelve years, has just come to an end in the State hospital at Brunswick owing to the death of a patient named Perdinand Schilhmie, a bricklayer, who injured his spine through a fall in November, 1894. The lower portion of his body was completely paralyzed through the accident, while his stomach and other organs were badly injured. Several operations proved unsuccessful. The patient showed remarkable tenacity of life, but suffered excruciating pain, which rendered his stay in bed unendurable. The surgeons therefore decided to render existence more comfortable by immersing him up to the breast in a tank, through which water ran continuously. There he has lain ever since, with a supporting band round his breast and his head on air cushions. He soon became accustomed to the position, and, as his hands were free, he learned to knit and to carve wooden toys, becoming eventually so expert that he earned a good subsistence and was able to support his aged mother. This lengthened stay in the water, however, induced tuberculosis, from which he died-Berlin Cor. London Telegraph. "You remember," said Mr. Killikton, "that grand old song, 'Grandpa's Teeth Are Plugged With Zinc?' Well, I always supposed that that zinc business was simply a grotesquely humorous fight of fancy. I never thought that anybody's teeth could really be filled with zinc, but now I am not so sure about that. Lately I have had four teeth filled, and no two have been filled with the same material. One was filled with amalgam, one with gold, one with porcelain and one with putta percha, and now the material they used to fill grandpa's teeth with in the song doesn't seem to me anything like so ridiculous as it did. I have seven teeth yet to be filled, and if the dentist keeps on as he has begun, using something different for every tooth, why, I wouldn't be surprised if before I got through I had one tooth at least filled with zinc"—New York Sun. A Prayer For Pie Answered. An act of Providence which is considered one of the most unique in local huntsmen's history occurred near Milton N. D., recently. Attorney Ben Bradford, Sam Clark, editor of the Reporter, and two other business men had spent a successful morning in pursuit of games and were finishing their neonday meal. At its conclusion one of the party bemoaned their forgetfulness in neglecting to bring pie. Hardly had he mentioned the fact when across the prairie came a buggy drawn by a runaway pair of horses. The team was stopped, and on the seat, with a knife inserted under their crusts, were found two apple piees—Minneapolis Journal. It Went Funny, "The Clerk of the Day" in the Boston Transcript tells this story: "Two of the Clerk's neighbors were recently battling over the Commonwealth Country club links. All went fairly well, all though bogie remained practically intact, until they reached a tee overlooking a pond. Each drove furiously, then cautiously, a half dozen balls into the murky depths of that pool. Standing near by was a little girl, stupid, but curious. After the twelfth ball has plunged to rise no more she querie blankly, but sincerely, of the goofie. "Say, mister, what is the fun in this game?" The Tobacco Moth. Tobacco, dealers in India are greatly troubled by a moth or fly that finds its way into a box of cigars or tobacco and lays an egg that soon develops into a destructive worm or grub, which horses through the wrapper into the body of the cigar and ruins it. Hardly anything will keep these pests out except to incase each cigar in a bottle or wrap it in heavy tin foil. Great Changes. D. B. Carothers, the well known railroad man and a big official on the Baltimore and Ohio road, is a frequent summer visitor here. Mr. Carothers was formerly Miss Leland of Lawston—Lewiston Journal. How things do change!—Boston Harold. Yes, we've changed proofreaders. Bishop Thomas Bowman on the recent celebration at Orange of his nineteenth birthday spoke wisely of religious toleration. "The older one grows," said the famous Methodist bishop, "the more one disregards the little, unimportant, useless things that separate one denomination from another. One fixes one's mind on the great things that bind all denominations together. And they who, neglecting the great things, neglecting charity and uprightness and honor, wrangle over small denominational differences seem to an old man as absurd as the Taoist and the Shintoist. "Perhaps you know the story. "A Taolist-I think it was a Taolist—once fell down a well, and a Shintolst or some such person ran at full speed to his assistance. "Oh, brother," cried the Shintolst, leaning over the well curb, "be of good cheer! A ladder is at hand, and I shall have you out in a jiffy!" "The Taolst was paddling about in the dark down below, up to his chin in the ice water. "No, no,' he grunted, puffing palmfully; 'fetch no ladder, brother. I'll climb no ladder today, for this is Tues- 喜養芳香 day, the only consecrated by an true believers to the Most High." "Aghast, the Shintoist poured down prayers and arguments into the well, but praying and arguments alike were of no avail with the devout Taoist. The other, obliged to leave the man to his fate, departed sadly, shaking his head at the sound of the grunts, puffs and splashes which ascended from the blackness far below. "The next morning the Shintolist returned to the wall. He peaced over curiously. Yea, the Taoist was still there. The noise of his struggles still rose up. "Ho, brother!" shouted the Shintolist. "Is all well with you below? "All is well," replied the Taoist in a very weak voice, but I pray you, brother, fetch that ladder at once. "The Shintolist threw up his hands in shocked surprise. "Fetch a ladder today! he cried. Heaven forbid! Don't you know that this is Wednesday, the Shintolist Sabbath?" "No saying, the Shahtoist departed, leaving the Taoist blowing and splashing in the well." Looking out at the white beach and the sunlit blue sea, he shook his head and clucked. "Thetheists go mad," he said, "over their theories. You know the theory that Bull wrote, "God Save the Queen?" William Chappell and Joshua Maidwin were the most ardent supporters of this theory, but one day they found an inconvenient entry in a rare old Tudor manuscript that threw the gravest doubt upon their claim. "In this case what did they do? They clubbed together, bought the manuscript and burned it with great secrecy, solemnly ejaculating: "Speaking of being impressed tremendously, I am reminded of a joke they are telling about a Cuban millionaire. "An unfortunate man obtained access to this millionaire and depicted his wretched poverty in the most vivid and moving colors. Indeed, so graphic was the visitor's sad narrative that the millionaire was very profoundly affected, and, summoning his servant, he said, with tears in his eyes and a voice trembling with emotion: "John, put this poor fellow out into Fritzi Scheff is appearing again this season in "Mile. Modiste." Harry Bulger will appear in a one act vaudeville sketch this season. Mrs. Leslie Carter is expected, to open her season in Washington some time in November. Eben Plympton will have a very strong part in "The Man From Home," which Liebler & Co. will produce. The marriage of Lawrence D'Orsay to an English actress is announced. The ceremony was performed in England. "The Quicksands," the new play in which Wright Lorimer opened at Providence, R. I., scored a success. The play is said to be intensely dramatic. After a short season in vaudeville Burr McIntosh will return to the moving picture business. His Philippine pictures have proved a decided success. Edward Knoblauck, the author of "The Shulamite," is at work on a play that will be one of Mme. Knilch's future offerings. Mr. Fiske has accepted for production this coming season a play of American life by Rupert Hughes. Instead of going to Europe on a honeymoon trip George Cohan will play the leading role in "Fifty Miles From Boston" and in addition to this will devote much of his time to the preparation of a new play in which he will appear at his own theater. FACTS FROM FRANCE The laws of Paris do not allow persons dead by suicide or murder to be cremated. A comparison of divorce statistics in France shows a constantly increasing ratio since 1884. The cost of a grave in a cemetery outside the fortification of Paris is 50 francs for five years, 317 francs for thirty years and 527 francs for a perpetual title. The Touring Club of France is searching for the "most affable, expert and suitable" hotel keeper in France. When they find him he is to have a gold medal and £100. Grave charges are being made against the public hospitals of Paris. Not many years have elapsed since the nursing sisters were expelled, and already the tip system infects them from top to bottom like a dry rot. The greatest must pay or never perfect. PITH AND POINT. If you can't stand for a turndown, don't ask unreasonable things. You can't make much of an impression by telling a crazy man about his insanity. Quite frequently men do things that remind you that common sense is not so common as it should be. The meanest man in the world is the man who will ride a free horse to death unless it is the man who becomes impatient when treated kindly. About the same number of boys seem to be leaving the farm, although the cream separator in place of the churn was expected to make a difference—Atchison Globe. EDITORIAL FLINGS.
