Democratic candidate for re-election for Judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County. Judge Edward Osgood Brown, Democratic candidate for re-election as Circuit Court Judge, needs no introduction to the people residing in Chicago and Cook County, for he has been one of its upright and most honorable citizens for many years and has always ranked with the very best lawyers in this city, for a long time prior to 1903 he served as the chief attorney for the First National Bank of Chicago. He was also for many years, attorney and special counsel for the Lincoln Park Commissioners. In 1903, he was prevailed upon by his host of friends among the lawyers both Democrats and Republicans, to make the race for Judge of the Circuit court, and he was elected at the Judicial election, held the first part of June that year, with a large majority on his side. Less than one year, after he was elevated to the bench, the Supreme Court of Illinois, appointed him to the Appellate Court; which was indeed a very high compliment to a new judge, as he was classed at that time, and which has seldom been paid to those newly rebed with judicial honors. Therefore, all good citizens who are in favor of having honest judges to settle their trouble for them, should work and vote early and late for Edward Osgood Brown, and retain his valuable services as Judge of the Circuit court of Cook County, Republican candidate for Judge of and one of the best and most wide legions of friends and supporters, fe 1910 [Name] update for Judge of the Circuit Court ist and most widely known lawyers in and supporters, feel sure of his calling Republican candidate for Judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County, and one of the best and most widely known lawyers in Chicago, whose legions of friends and supporters, feel sure of his calling and election.

Walker, has resided in this city so long that his name has become a household word in all parts of it, and throughout Cook County. In every official capacity, which he has filled, he has proven himself to be an honest and honorable servant of the people. As a member of the city council from the 21st Ward, he was ever watchful not only for the best interest of his constituents, but for the best interests of all the people in Chicago. Judge Walker, served with great credit to himself as Corporation Counsel, and while serving in that capacity, he was brought prominently before the public, and his official acts and conduct were held up before the limelight all the time, and be it said, to his undying credit, that it was never intimated by anyone or from any source that he could be "fixed" and be induced to side step his duties in order to please someone, who la- Hon, John P. McGoorty John P. McGoorty, Democratic candidate for Judge of the Circuit Court, was born in Ohio in 1866, and his boyhood days were spent in Wisconsin. In 1886, he came to Chicago to carve out a name for himself. Being ambitious and without much money to satisfy his thirst for the law, he was employed in the day time as a salesman for Stillman, Wright and Company, wholesale flour merchants; and each evening instead of wasting his time, he took up the study of law, and in 1893, he received his degree Bachelor of Law. The latter part of that same year and shortly after being admitted to the bar, he became united in marriage to Miss Mary E. Wiggins, and Mr. and Mrs. McGoorty are the proud and happy parents of four children, and reside in a beautiful home, at 6204 Kimbark ave. In the everyway, Mr. McGoorty is a popular and patriotic citizen. He is a member of the American, State and Cook County Bar Associations, the Iroquois, Chicago Athletic and other clubs, the Royal League, Royal Arcanum, the Knights of Columbus, Chicago College of Law, he being a graduate of the first class of that institution in 1889. After leaving school he entered the employ of W. P. Rend, the well known minor and shipper of coal, and remained in his employ for several years. In the spring of 1886 he entered the law firm of Luther Laflin Mills and George C. Ingham, and was connected with these eminent lawyers for a period of over seven years, participating in many of the notable cases tried by these attorneys among which might be mentioned the Cronin murder case, the boodle cases and the fury bribing cases. Mr. Scanlan was McGoorty, William H. Arthur, George Kersten, Charles M. Walker, Richard E. Burke, and John T. Murray. The following non-partisan ticket in our humble opinion should be selected by the voters throughout this city and county at the Judicial election Monday, June 7th. Circuit Court Judges: Judge Edward Osgood Brown, D.; Judge Charles M. Walker, D.; Judge Frank Baker, D.; John P. McGoorty, D.; Judge George A. Carpenter, R.; Judge M. W Pinckney, R.; Judge Frederick A. Smith, R.; Judge Richard S. Tuthill, R.; Judge John Gibbons, R.; Jesse A. Baldwin, R.; Kickham Scanlan, R.; Charles Alling, Jr., R.; Homer E. Tinsman, R.; and John F. Holland, R. Superior Court, Judge Theodore Brentano, R. As before stated the voters will not make any grave mistake by recording their votes in favor of electing the above judicial candidates, for each and everyone of them are amply fitted to serve as Superior and Circuit Court Judges of Cook County. bored under the impression that their strong political pull or influence could sway him from the path of rectitude. In 1903, Judge Walker severed his connection with the Corporation Counsel's office, and made the successful race, for Judge of the Circuit Court, and for the past six years he has faithfully served the people, in that honorable position, and at all times his rulings have been fair, and he honestly strives to get at the bottom of each and every case tried by him, and to decide the issues arising therefrom on their merits. He has made a careful and painstaking Judge knowing no man by his humble or exalted position in life, and never assuming an arrogant, or bull-headed manner. He richly deserves to be re-elected Circuit Court Judge, Monday, June 7th, and the great majority of the voters will be doing themselves a great injustice if they fall to mark an X in front of his name, and let it go at that. the C. O. F., the A O. H. and the Elks. In 1896, he was elected to the legislature of Illinois from the Hyde Park district. For three terms he was its minority leader, and at all times he was the earnest champion of many beneficial and lasting reforms. He is the father of the bill or measure authorizing public regulation of maximum charges of gas and electric companies and it is largely through his efforts and labor that the people in Chicago are paying only 85 cents per thousand feet for gas, instead of one dollar, the old rate. It was Mr. McGoorty, who led the fight for the direct Primary Law, and while a member of the legislature, he always stood up and fought for Civil Service Reform, and the honest administration of the affairs of the people, and as he thoroughly believes in fair and honest dealing between man and man, and in everyway, eminently qualified to hold the scales of justice aloft, free from taint, corruption and political influence. The people of Cook County will on Monday, June 7th, honor themselves by elevating him to the Circuit Court Bench. the special prosecutor for the people in the last trial of the Cronin case. For the last five or six years Mr. Scanlan has been engaged almost exclusively in the practice of civil law, occupying a fine suite of rooms on the 12th floor of the Ashland Block, and at all times conducting himself like a highly cultured gentleman, he has made thousands of loyal friends among all classes of his fellow citizens and every man who wants a square deal at all times, should on Monday, June 7th, record his vote in favor of Kickham Scanlan for Judge of the Circuit Court. f JUDGE CHARLES M.

Baltimore—After masquerading men's attire without detection since she was sixteen, Maude Allen, alis James Allen, Colored 24 years of age, was arraigned today at the Southwestern station charged with wearing men's clothes. For five years she has been a teacher at the Colored public school at Brooklyn, Anne Arundel County, and recently she was transferred to one of the Colored public schools in this city. She was also an active worker in Ebenezer Baptist Church, and taught a Sunday School class. This was the only chance for her to mix with men as she kept completely aloof from the Afro-Americans of the neighborhood in which she lived, going to her home immediately after school and remaining in the company of her grandmother with whom she lived. A short time ago the woman was taken ill and entered the Maryland General Hospital. She was placed in the men's ward. A physician discovered that the patient was not a man.

P. citizen and Republican candidate for Judge of the Circuit Court. Prominent Knight Templar and Knight of Pythias, able lawyer, popular Charles Alling, Jr. Republican candidate for Judge of the Circuit court, was born at Madison, Ind., on December 13, 1865, and he is descended in the tenth generation from Roger Alling. first treasurer of the New Haven Colony of the Pilgrims, who emigrated from England in 1638. A grandson of the emigrant removed from New Haven to Newark, N. J., at the end of that century and his descendants become officers in the Revolutionary War. John Alling, grandfather, graduated from Princeton College, and migrated from Newark to Madison, Ind., about the year 1826. The mother of Mr. Alling was Harriet Ann Scovel, a daughter of Rev. Sylvester Scovel, D. D., who was president of Hanover College, Ind., from 1846 to 1849; of this institution, Charles Alling, his father, has been a trustee for twenty years. Coming thus from a vigorous and educated line of ancestors, in whom earnestness, faithfulness, and the highest order of intelligence were predominating traits, Charles Alling, Jr., has a natural inheritance of staunch and useful qualities. Mr. Alling, while nothing but a green country boy, succeeded in getting the idea driven into his head, that without education a man does not amount to much in this world. So in time he entered Hanover College, Indiana, graduating from it with high honors in 1885, and, shortly after that he entered the Law Department of the University of Michigan, finishing his legal training in that institution in 1888, and from that time to the present he [Name] JESSE A.

Baldwin, Republican candidate for Judge of the Circuit Court was born at Greenwood, McHenry Country, Ill., August 9, 1854. His boyhood and early life were spent on a farm, and his education was acquired in the common schools and in the University of Illinois. He taught school for about five years, and while so engaged began the study of law under the direction of Judge T. D. Murphy, of Woodstock. Shortly thereafter, he was appointed Asst. U. S. Attorney in Chicago, and served from 1877 to 1884. He has practiced law in Chicago for over 31 years, and has had large experience in the trial of important cases in the State and ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` has continuously and more than successfully practiced in Chicago. He was alderman from the Second Ward for four terms, 1897 to 1905. He was a leader in the fight against the fifty year street car franchises in 1898. At every election he was endorsed by the press for honesty and efficiency. He was Chairman of the Committee on State Legislation and represented the City before the General Assembly in 1905 for the establishment of the Municipal Court. He received the popular vote for County Judge in 1906 at the Republican primary election under the old law which permitted the delegates to disregard the popular vote. The Governor appointed him Attorney for the State Board of Health in 1907, for which he has rendered many opinions and tried many important suits This business he conducts in connection with his large private practice in the Title and Trust Building, 100 Washington street. Mr. Alling lives at 47 E. 22nd St., is a member of the University Club, a Knight Templar and Knight of Pythias. He is a trustee of the Indiana Society and in 1908 was elected a member of the committee of the Union League Club which acts on public affairs. He is a member of the Illinois State and Chicago Bar Associations and stood among the first fourteen of the forty-two nominees voted on by the latter association on May 15th. He has been tried and approved by the people in public office, and has received the commendation of his brother lawyers as good judicial timber.

In addition to attending to his extensive law practice, he is a Trustee of the University of Chicago, and of Rush Medical College. He is a member of the Union League, Hamilton, Chicago and City Clubs and of the Chicago Bar, ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Patent Law, Illinois State Bar, and the American Bar Associations. His candidacy for Circuit Judge has been approved by the Bar Association. In all truthfulness it can also be stated that more than fifteen hundred of the leading lawyers in this city regardless of their political inclinations and more than one thousand of the best business men in Chicago are working early and late for his election and as Mr. Baldwin, has always been friendly disposed towards worthy Afro-Americans, it goes without saying that every Colored man in Cook County will assist to make his election doubly sure by recording his vote for him Monday, June 7th. Portland, Ark., May 30.—A posse of citizens today lynched Joe Blakely, Negro, brother of Sam Blakely, who shot and killed Deputy Sheriff Cain near here yesterday. Unable to catch the alleged murderer of Cain, the posse lynched the brother after he declared that he intended to "get" Bud Harper. The lynching of the brother of the man who is charged with shooting Deputy Sheriff Cain, is what they call red-handed justice, down in dark and bloody Ark.

The National Association for the Study and Preven- tion of Tuberculosis CONTINUES TO FURNISH INTERESTING NOTES ON TUBERCULOSIS TO THE PRESS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. IT IS MAKING A FIGHT AGAINST CONSUMPTION ALSO OVER THE WORLD. Consumption among Japanese laborers is increasing to such a degree that the figures are becoming a source of anxiety to Japanese merchants and officials. A large percentage of laborers who are sent back to Japan by the Japanese charity associations are consumptives. It is claimed by the Japanese newspapers commenting on this matter, that through the lack of hospital accommodations in the Japanese labor camps tuberculosis increases at an alarming rate. They suggest that a new system be employed in dealing with the sick in these camps, as the Japanese are quite ignorant; of even the most simple health safeguards. There are in the United States 208 Sanatoria, 222 Dispensaries and 290 Associations for the treatment or prevention of tuberculosis, while there are 600,000 cases of this disease in the country. It is estimated by the United States Conservation Commission that this country loses annually $1,000,000 from preventable tuberculosis. For the past three years a persistent crusade has been waged against consumption amongst post office employees in France. Under these efforts, the number of cases has diminished 50 per cent, having been in 1906. 1,048 cases; in 1907, 808 cases, and last year the number fell to 505. The municipal authorities of Berlin have decided to introduce another feature in the municipal administration of tuberculosis. Heretofore municipal effort has been confined to the maintenance of one or two homes for curable consumptives, but it is recognized that, as usful as this is, it alone cannot cope with this disease. They have resolved, therefore, to devote more attention to preventive measures. In England, in addition to other efforts to combat tuberculosis, a unique project is being placed on foot, to put into commission a sailing ship sanatorium for persons suffering with tuberculosis. Germany has 82 sanatoria for tuberculosis, which hold over 20,000 poor consumptives; the cost of each sanatorium is about $100,000. Through organizid effective methods, Germany has reduced the death rate from consumption by one-half throughout the nation. In the German Army, tuberculosis has diminished 42 per cent. during the past 20 years (from 3.3 per cent per thousand to 1.9 per thousand of the effective force). That consumption can be permanently cured is demonstrated by some figures published by Dr. A. Van Brenden of Belgium, who says that 75.8 per cent of the patients treated in the Bourgoumont Sanatorium in 1903-4 have continued, four years after treatment, to improve, and are in a condition to return to their regular occupations. Dr. Shannon of Edinburgh recently stated that out of the 1,000 city children under three years of age examined by him, 647 had tuberculosis in some form. Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfel, the famous Labrador explorer and social worker, says that in the interests of the campaign against tuberculosis, he has induced most of the natives to weave the motto, "Don't Spit" in their rugs, in is known far and near as "Smiling Jim." for at all times his face is wreathed in smiles, and being soft of speech and a good story teller is the main reason, why he is so well liked by every Alderman in Chicago. A large number of persons attended the memorial services of the Eighth Infantry Illinois National Guard, Sunday, May 30th, 1909, at Quinn Chapel. The program was well rendered and received. The principal address was delivered by Dr. D. P. Roberts supplemented by remarks of Chaplain Jordan Chavis. Those of the departed whose stead of other homely sayings, which were formerly used. Owing to their studious habits and their lack of proper physical exercise Chinese students both in this country and in their native land are especially liable to tuberculosis. According to a report of the United States census, it is stated that the mortality of the Indians from tuberculosis is undoubtedly far higher than that of either the whites or the Negroes although it is believed by careful investigators that the disease was entirely absent before the advent of the whites in America. e The most prominent tuberculosis specialists in the country agree that alcohol will not cure consumption. Dr S. A. Knopf says: "Alcohol has never cured any never will cure tuberculosis. It will either prevent or retard recovery." Dr. Frank Billings of Chicago and Dr. Vincent Y. Bowditch, ex-presidents of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis: Dr. Lawrence F. Flick of Philadelphia, and Dr. Edward L. Trudeau of Saranac Lake, the founder of the antituberculosis movement in this country, are all of the same opinion. Dr. William Osler says, "Whether tuberculosis will be finally eradicated it even an open question. It is a foe that is very deeply intrenched in the human race. Very hard it will be to eradicate completely, but when we think of what has been done in one generation, how the mortality in many places has been reduced more than 50 per cent—indeed, in some places 100 per cent—it is a battle of hope, and so long as we are fighting with hope, the victory is in sight." It was stated by Dr. William C. White of Pittsburg at the recent meeting of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis that 90 per cent of all the school children in our large cities have tubercle bacilli in their system before reaching the age of nineteen years. Homer Folks of New York City recently stated before the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis that there are in the U.S. at the present time 75,000 cases of tuberculosis in advanced stages of the disease, every one of whom should be isolated in hospitals, but there are the present time only 5,000 hospital beds for these cases in the entire country. That tuberculosis is no respecter of persons is evidenced by the recent death of the two boy princes of Montenegro from that disease, which they contracted from a maid in their nursery. There are constantly 3,000,000 persons seriously ill in the United States, of whom more than 600,000 are consumptives. More than half of this illness is preventable. Consumption is caused by the poisonous germs in the consumptive's spit. The poisonous spit dries and goes as dust into other people's lungs. A little poisonous spit when scattered in dust, is enough to infect dozens of people. That is why careless spitting is not only dirty, but dangerous. The number of deaths during the four years of the Civil War was 205,070. During the past four years 800,000 deaths have resulted from tuberculosis alone in the United States. memory was recalled at the service are: —Privates Morris, Jordan, Geo.

CONFERENCE IS ENDED New York, June 1.—The national Negro conference closed at the United Charities building this evening after a session somewhat less noisy than bedlam and with the adoption of a series of resolutions expressing the ideas of the members in general on the subject of the status and treatment or the Negro. The conference also authorized the chairman of the evening, Charles Edward Russell, to appoint a temporary committee to make plans and recommendations for a permanent organization. The chairman named as a committee nearly forty men and women, including Negroes, white socialists, and persons engaged in "social service." Besides the regular resolutions one was adopted deploring any recognition of or concession to race prejudice in the appointment of men to office and disapproving President Taft's remarks in his inaugural address indicating that he would not appoint to office Colored men if white citizens protested against it. On the motion of O. G. Villard another resolution was adopted expressing an endorsement of the proposal for a permanent national committee to be incorporated to aid the Negro in every way, and make his citizenship a reality, the committee to be named "the committee for the advancement of the Negro race." "We denounce the unprincipled and evergrowing oppression of our 10,000,000 Colored fellow citizens as the greatest menace that threatens the country. Plundered of their just share of the public funds, robbed of all part in the government, often murdered with impunity, and invariably treated with open contempt by the highest officials in some states, they are held in practical slavery to the white community. "The systematic persecution of law abiding citizens and their disfranchisement is a social crime that will ultimately drag down to an infamous end any community that allows it to be practiced bearing first of all most heavily on the poor white farmers and laborers, whose economic position is most similar to that of the persecuted race. "The spoils of persecution will not and cannot fall into the hands of the poorer classes. On the contrary, peonage, enslavement of prisoners, persecution of trade unionists, the unjust and antiquated poll tax, and even disfranchisement are already the portion of large bodies of whites in many southern states." Publicity Urged as Curb on Mobs. Publicity as a safeguard against lynchings was recommended during the day's conference proceedings by Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett of Chicago. Mrs. Barnett has spent several years in the south and west investigating mob violence, and said that during the last quarter of a century 3,284 men, women, and children have been lynched in the United States. The riots at Springfield, Ill., last suma woman against a. Negro, she stated, mer were brought on by the charges of and later the accuser made a retraction, the conference assembly was told. Asking why mob rule is permitted in this country, Mrs. Barnett quoted John Temple Graves as saying that the mob stands as the most potential guardian between women of the south and such a carnival of crime as would precipitate the annihilation of the Negro race. "White Deserve Any Calamity." At the evening session in Cooper Union Judge Wendell Phillips Stafford of the Supreme court of the District of Columbia presided. He said, among other things: "As a member of the white race I say our race will deserve any calamity the presence of the black race may bring. We brought it here by theft and force." John E. Milholland, speaking of the letters of Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Seth Low, and Francis Lynde Stetson in opposition to the scheme of this conference, said that Seth Low reminded him of a story of a man renowned for his safe and cautious conduct on all occasions, of whom it was said he could do a double shuffle on a bass drum at a Quaker meeting and never disturb the peace and repose of the gathering for a moment. Jenkin Lloyd Jones of Chicago said the crop of mulattoes in the south is steadily maintained, and that the white man should be made to respect the white blood of which he boasted wherever he found it and he referred scathingly to black blood being diluted with 90 per cent of the rich white blood of Kentucky chivalry. Chicago Woman Blames White Man. At the afternoon session Mrs. Celia Parker Woolley, founder of the Frederick Douglass center at Chicago, presided. Mrs. Woolley said during her address: "If the race mixture, particularly the mixture of black and white is of such injurious effect let us address our arguments and appeals, our warnings and rebukes to the guilty party—the white man of the south and of the north. "The attitude of the average mind, learned or unlearned, on this phase of the question is as shameless as it is cruel, in its open connivance at crime and social misdoing. The majority of people care little about race mixture so long as it keeps itself safe from polite observation under the dark cloak of illicit practices. "It is only when seeking to lift itself from the level of passion and shield itself in honest marriage, graced and upheld by the moralities and amenities of the home, that the sense of moral outrage is aroused. A strange anomaly."—The Chicago Tribune. June 2, 1000. Jesse Binga, the only Afro-American Banker in Chicago, s. e. corner of State St., and 36th place, continues to do business at the same old stand, he allows 3 per cent on all saving accounts, he has some dandy safety deposit vaults to rent for the small sum of $3.00 per year, he still has quite a few nice flats and houses east and west of State st., to rent to good tenants, and parties with money looking for bargains in real estate will greatly miss it if they fail to see Mr. Binga, before they make an investment. The recent announcement in one of our local contemporaries that Mr. J. Hockley Smiley has been added to its local staff, brings back into active newspaperwork, a clever writer and a man with a thorough knowledge of newspaper work. When we say active work we ask pardon for among newspaper workers it is thought that Mr. Smiley has been in harness in a quiet way for the past year. "The Ramble" in a local publication and various unsigned articles in magazines and newspapers outside of the city bear the earmarks of this well informed writer. Mr. Smiley was born in Philadelphia and has traveled extensively in the interest of his preferred line of work-"T." NEW YORK A.M.E. CONFERENCE Annual Meeting at Flushing Harmonious and Full of Interest. The closing session of the New York annual A. M. E. conference, which was recently held at Flushing, was largely attended and was devoted to spirited discussion. The final report by the secretary showed this to be one of the most prosperous years in the history of the conference and that the churches generally had met all their claims. Much credit was given Bishop Gains for what the ministers called the climax record of the conference. Under his leadership they said that the flag of African Methodism will be planted in every place in New York state where it is possible for a church to be organized. The Rev. H. B. Gantt, who had served the Nazarine Congregational church two years and who during the past four months had been the pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church, was called before the conference and examined by Counselor F. F. Giles as to his Methodism. The Rev. Mr. Gantt said that when he got ready to leave the Methodist church he would give the bishop a year's notice. Counselor Giles said: "The great trouble with us is that we take men from every source they come, and they are not with us. I want to know what the Rev. Mr. Gantt is now. Is he a Methodist?" To this the Rev. Mr. Gantt declared himself a genuine Methodist, that his parents were Methodists and that he was born one. From among the brethren were heard, "Amen, that is what we want to hear." The bishop then requested the hymn, "Go Preach My Gospel," etc. to be sung to a good old Methodist tune, after which the appointments were read, as follows: Long Island District—Presiding elder, Dr. H. H. Pinkney; Bridge Street church, Dr. A. R. Cooper; St James' mission, Rev. Thomas Chase; Far Rockaway, Rev. T. F. Salls; Amityville, Rev. G. R. Coverdale; Stapleton, Rev. John Cuff; Jamaica, Rev. A.

P. Pierce; Flushing, Rev. R. S. Farriera; Westbury, Rev. A. W. Pierce; Little and Port Washington, Rev. C. J. Lawton; Elmhurst, Rev. J. D. Jackson; Bayshore, Rev. W. J. Wilson; Freeport, Rev. J. D. Shepherd; Setuket and Port Jefferson, Dr. E. M. Harper; Northport, Rev. William Edwards; Rossville, Rev. T. A. Roache; Flatbush mission, Rev. J. W. Stewart. PROSPEROUS SCHOOL YEAR. High Average by Students and Eight Graduates at Boydton (Va.) Institute. Boydton institute at Boydton, Va., is one of the oldest educational institutions for Afro-Americans in the upper tidewater sections of Virginia. It was started by the Rev. Dr. Charles D. Cullis of Boston, a Christian philanthropist and friend of the Negro race, nearly thirty years ago. It has prepared hundreds of young men and women as teachers and preachers, who have done a great work among their people in the rural districts. One of the leading business men of Boston is a former student of Boydton institute, while one of its graduates holds an editorial position in one of the largest newspaper syndicates in the United States at New York. The school year which closed recently was a very prosperous one in many ways. The students made a general high average in their studies. There were eight graduates at the commencement exercises. Mrs. Helen B. Sharpe, who has been with the school from its inception, is still filling the position of principal and maintains the highest respect of the faculty, students and the community. Wants Supreme Court Decision. John W. Rowell, chief judge of the supreme court of Vermont, says: "I favor the adoption of some method that will bring before the supreme court in a way that will insure a decision the question of the constitutionality of the laws of the southern states disfranchising the Negro, and if held to be unconstitutional then I favor the reduction of the basis of representation of such state or states as provided by section 2, article 14, of the federal constitution and the enforcement of article 15."

Power of Public Sentiment. Power of Public Sentiment It ought to be clear to most thinking Negroes by this time that the federal laws which are supposed to throw the mantle of protection around them are mere subterfuges and that their efficacy as laws is subordinate to the strong public sentiment which has gathered strength and power since the day they were placed in the constitution. He Believed in the Cream. Some one was telling an Irishman that somebody had eaten ten saucers of ice cream, whereupon he shook his head. "So you don't believe it, eh?" With a sly nod the Irishman said, "Ol behave in the crame, but th' divil a hit in th' saucera!" "Streg didn't show my brains out because you filleted him the other night," said girl friend No. 1.

It is in the visible expression of strength, grace and vitality that the artist of the circus holds himself at one with the painter and sculptor, but his art, like that of the actor, is necessarily alive and impermanent. Let the painter set on canvas his fixed presentment of lion, tiger or leopard, and the trainer, by his dangerous medium of whip and training stick, will make the living animals exhibit endless graces of subtle line and lovely color. When he puts his head in the lion's mouth, believe me, he considers it nothing better than a concession to the groundlings, a mere vulgar, necessary potoiler. When he compels the great tawny thing to repeat the grace of a natural movement, the training of wild animals being always along the line of what they do naturally, and leap in a long, gracious curve across the arena to an unstable landing on a rolling sphere, he feels that he is doing something worthy of himself and his animals. Or, again, let the sculptor depict a flying Mercury; Mercury must at least have a point of arrival or departure. But for one brief moment the young woman of the circus, swinging through space from one trapeze to another, is the grace of the flying Mercury. To attain this moment of self expression she has given as long and arduous an apprenticeship as the artist who works in clay, bronze or marble.—Ralph Bergengren in Atlantic. Wild Dogs In Africa The wild dogs in Africa are more feared by the natives than any other beasts, for, while they are not to be dignified by the term of game, they run in packs and seem to know that the native is afraid of them. Native burden bearers will often take their chances in passing around a buffalo herd and will hardly notice a lion, but when they hear the howl of the wild dogs they drop whatever they may balancing on their heads and take to the trees. There they are frequently held captive until their cries summon assistance. Crossing the trail of large game, these dogs often interfere with the pursuit. At a distance the hunter is likely to mistake them for leopards or some of the smaller game. Intense disgust follows the wounding of a wild dog, for then, according to the ethics of the chase, the true sportsman must pursue and kill the beast. These dogs are not degenerates, but are natural mongrels. They have low bodies covered with hair of coach dog growth, bushy tails and powerful paws.—McClure's Magazine. Suburban Suburbs A flat dweller, having selected what he thought was a pretty good thing in one of the suburban towns as a place of residence, took his wife out to look at it. The rent was delightful, but the house was on the very rim of the town. The wife disapproved. "What's the matter with it?" he asked testily, for he had had a hard time finding it. "Well," she replied with feminine firmness, "I am willing for your sake to live in a suburb of the city, but I positively will not live in the suburb of a suburb. It's asking too much, George, and—and"— She didn't cry, but George prevented it only by superhuman efforts.—New York Press. Had Sure Chance A patient with a malignant disease of the throat consulted a London specialist. The surgeon recommended the removal of the larynx. The patient expressed a fear that the operation was dangerous. "Oh, nb!" said the surgeon. "You are sure to recover." "But," said the patient, "I understood that the operation was serious indeed." "Well." said the surgeon, "my reason for saying that you are sure to recover is this: The mortality is nineteen out of twenty, and I've had nineteen deaths already." Another Way to Escape. "What is it, Theobald?" "May I ask you a question?" "Certainly you may, my child. It is only by asking questions that we can improve our minds and prepare ourselves for our work in the world. I am glad to note a spirit of inquiry in you, and I hope you may never arrive at the place where you think you know it all and cease to solicit information from others. What is your question, my son?" "I forget, papa."—Newark News. An Odd Slip. Dr. Johnson once met the village postman trudging along the dusty road on a hot summer afternoon. The postman observed that he had still a mile to walk just to deliver one newspaper. "My goodness," exclaimed the sympathetic doctor, "I'd never go all that distance for such a trifle! Why don't you send it by post?" The Loafer. "Does the new office boy loaf or make mischief?" "Loats." "Discharge him. We can direct a mischievous lad's efforts into some useful channel, but we can't do anything with a loafer."—Buffalo Express. "Women prisoners are quipy," said the jaller. "One had a quip toward writin', and she was always swipin' ink out of the schoolroom. "She swiped ink in her thimble. She'd fill the thimble up to the brim and then stand it carefully in her hair. Mighty good balancin' was required on the'way back to her cell. Still, what if she did spill a drop or two on her scalp? A female convictn't on view like a society woman, is she? "Of course as soon as we got on to the thimble game we put a stop to it. That didn't put a stop to the ink stealin', though. I says to her one day on the way back from the schoolroom: "Well, Russell, no more poetry writin' with ink what don't belong to ye, hey? "She just smiled and mumbled somethin'. "Speak up,' says I, 'Do ye miss yer ink—yes or no?' "Bub-ub-ub," says she, tryin' to brush past me. But I grabbed her arm. I noticed a thin black thread of sump'n trickclin' from her lips. Yes, sir! Would ye believe it? She was stealin' the people's ink now in her mouth!"—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Poor Billiards. "One summer in the country," said a well known amateur billiardist, "another man and I were overtaken by a storm and had to go into a tavern for shelter. The rain fell steadily. We had three or four long hours before us. Time began to hang heavily on our hands. "Landlord," said I, 'do you happen to have a billiard table?' "Sure," said the landlord. 'Sure. Just step this way, gents.' "He proudly threw open the door of a dark, stuffy room. We saw an antiquated table with a patched cloth, and in the corner was a rack of crooked cues. "Any balls?" said I. "Sure," said the landlord, and he unlocked a closet and laid on the table three white balls, all alike—there was no spot, you know. "But, see here," I remonstrated. 'how do you tell these balls apart?' "Oh, that's all right," said he. "You soon get to know 'em by their shape." —St. Louis Globe-Democrat. To Be Sharp. The Aryan root "ak" meant "to be sharp," and the idea of sharpness has followed it at least through 10,000 years into all of the family of languages of that tongue. It is quite likely that the property of sharpness was conceived of by these ancestors from handling shells, the first knives that man knew. That cutting edge was referred to by "ak" long before the most primitive people had learned to put an edge on flint. When these Aryans wanted to express the idea of sharpness of mind they used the same word. This root went into the Greek, where it became "akros," meaning pointed. In Sanskrit it is "acre," meaning the same thing. In the Latin we find "acrimonia," signifying sharpness, from which our "acrid" comes. The Latin also has "acer," meaning sharp, and "acus," a needle. In the Anglo-Saxon it became "eag," an edge. So the idea of sharpness runs all the way through, and we have it in our "acid," "acute," "edge" and "ax" as well as in "acrid" and "acumen."—Argonaut. The Alexandrian Library. Omar, a fanatical caliph who overran Egypt about the middle of the seventh century, proclaimed that, since the Koran contained everything that human beings ought to read, no other books had any right to exist, so he condemned to destruction the immense library at Alexandria founded by the Ptolemies and constantly enlarged by their successors until the advent of the Saracens. How enormous it was can be imagined from the fact that for six months the manuscripts supplied the fuel of 4,000 public baths. It was the most terrible blow ever inflicted upon literature. Genius Rewarded. A schoolmaster not famous for his personal beauty swooped down on the inattentive boy and found him drawing caricatures. He picked up one and asked the boy in a voice of thunder. "Is this meant for me?" "Please, sir." said the victim, in a state of terror—"please, sir, I did not mean to make it so like." The master destroyed the picture and let the matter drop.—London Globe. Thought It Was a Proposal. Scene—Cab stand near London. Lady distributing tracts, hands one to cabby, who glances-at it, hands it back and says politely, "Thank you, lady, but I'm a married man." Lady nervously looks at the title and, reading "Abide with me," hurries departs, to the great amusement of cabby.—London Spare Moments. But He Did. "If he has proposed, why don't you give him an answer?" "I can't make up my mind whether I would like him when I got him home."—Brooklyn Life.
