Johnson Defeated in His Fight for Re-election as Mayor of Cleveland, Ohio. Thousands of Democrats in Maryland Voted Against Diefranchiing the Negro of that State and that Measure was Defeated. Tuesday elections were held in many of the leading cities throughout the United States and in several of the states and in only a few instances did the voters take a deep interest in the contest waged by the two big political parties; in greater New York the fight was on in dead earnest and when it came to a close Judge William J. Gaynor who has proven himself to be a high class liberal-minded democrat was electel its mayor for four years and William Randolph Hearst was again defeated in his mad race for mayor and this makes the second or third time that the people of New York City have failed to honor him with an election as its mayor and from now on William Randolph Hearst is a dead one in politics in that city. Tom L. Johnson was at last caught between the devil and the deep sea and he was defeated in his fight for re-election as mayor of Cleveland, JOHN H. MONTGOMERY. The popular drugglet Gerald Building 20th and State street, and the peoples candidate for Alderman of the 2nd Ward in the spring of 1810. HEW TO THE LINE: LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY Ohio, notwithstanding the fact that he had labored hard for years to furnish its citizens better street car service and cheaper fare, but it seems that the voters of Cleveland did not appreciate his labors in their behalf and the result was that they retired him from office. The greatest political contest last Tuesday was in the state of Maryland an effort being put forth by the moss-back leaders of the democratic party to disfranchise the Negro, but as thousands of democrats who dearly love liberty, not for themselves only but for their fellowmen as well, voted against the measure and it was defeated, at the same time the democrats elected their state ticket, this being true in the future the Negro in Maryland should be wise enough to do a little flirting with the progressive democrats, those who are willing to stand up and fight for his constitutional rights in order to retain his ballot. Wednesday evening November 10, The U. B. F's, and S. M. T. will give a banquet in honor of Walter M. Farner, National Grand Master of the World the affair will be held at Odd- fellows hall, 3335 State street, Jacob L. Parks, and J. A. Gillespie, will be its high cheifs and in every respect it promises to be a notable event. CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 6, 1909. Melodious Wedding Bells RANG IN HONOR OF THE HIGGINEOTHAN-GOLDSTONE WEDDING AT OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH. IT WAS THE FINEST AND MOST BRILLIANT EVER HELD IN THAT FAMOUS STRUCTURE WHICH WAS FILLED TO ITS FULLEST CAPACITY AND STANDING ROOM WAS AT A PREMIUM. NOTABLE GATHERING OF THE BEST COLORED PEOPLE TO EXTEND THEIR HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWLY AND HAPPILY WEDDED COUPLE. Wednesday evening, Oct. 27. 1909, while the melodious nuptial bells were chiming the sweetest music which penetrated every nook and corner of Olivet Baptist Church, and while all the eyes of the people who filled every inch of space in the noted church, were rivited upon the beautiful and highly accomplished bride, she moved very gracefully towards the altar. Lohengrin's famous wedding march ringing out through the church, while she was enacting this important scene in her life at the altar she was met by the gentleman of her choice Mr. Jasper, M. Higginbothan, it was a solemm moment in their lives. Mr. J. D. Goldstone of Milwaukee, Wis., who, in company with his wife, attended the celebration performed the brotherly function of presenting his sister, Miss Bessie Viola Goldstone, to her future husband. Rev. W. S. Braddan, the eloquent pastor of Berean Baptist Church, united the happy and well-matched couple in the holy bonds of wedlock, and then and there in the presence of more than a thousand of their friends they entered upon a new life, which we earnestly hope will be full of success and happiness. Just as Rev. Braddan had finished performing his part of the ceremony and had pronounced them husband and wife. Prof. Johnson played "The Sweetest Story Every Told," an "Promise Me," and, as the wedding party withdrew from in front of chancel, the organ peiled forth Mendelssohn's famous wedding march. The bride looked pleasant and composed, she wore a very rich and expensive white silk mull gown, a beautifull wreath and a long bridal veil. She carried a large shower bouquet of American beauties, and formed a charming picture. While, the groom in a conventional black suit looked handsome and was the proudest man in the world. Little Miss Agnes Thompson and Johnnie Porcherlu in beautiful costumes marched before the bride. Miss Thompson carried a basket of flowers and strewed them in the aisle as she marched before the bride, while Mr. Pocherlu acted as ring boy and carried the wedding ring on a silver tray. The ribbon girls were Miss European Byant, Miss Pearl Steel, Miss Ophelia Brown, and Lavie Simes. They were dressed in white. The ribbon bearers were Earnest Fort, Charles Raybon, David Pointer and Shirley Crawford and the bridesmaids were Miss Ludella Alexander, Miss Cordelia Jones, Miss Julia McLemore, and Miss Julia Wells, and they all wore white silk costumes. Miss Anna Merriweather was the maid of honor and she was dressed in LECTURE ON CHARITY. By Rev. Father F. P. Cannell. Subject: "Jerusalem and Holy Land," 90 Historic Stereoptican Viewa.

Tylor, with his gentlemanly ushers in conjunction with the Queen Esther Circle, had entire charge of the reception, and it will long be remembered as one of the finest social functions ever participated in by the best class of Colored people in the city, and all in all, it was the most fashionable and the most brilliant wedding ever held in historic Olivet. The ladies of Queen Esther Circle, Mrs. Walter Pointer and Mrs. Nellie Grigg, had charge of the rich decorations which were in evidence throughout the church. Mrs. M. B. Baily, Mrs. J. C. Stewart, Miss Nannie Williams, Miss Maud Johnson, Miss Alice Clarance, Miss Suland Campbell, Mrs. J. J Lee, Mrs. F. C. Jones, Mrs. Jennie Williams Mrs. S. L. Parks, Mrs. E. Franklin and Mrs. H. C.

Goldstone of Milwaukee, Wis., and the ladies of the Queen Esther Circle, who with the other ladies just mentioned wore the most beautiful costumes, were among those who occupied seats in the from pews. The bride comes from one of the oldest and most respected families of Pittsburg, Pa., and her parents are property owners in that city, her father being successfully established there in business. The groomsman, who is well and favorably known in this city, has met with great success as a contractor and builder. He constructed Olivet Baptist church, in which he was happily married, and there are a large number of white gentlemen with whom he has transacted business with for a number of years, who join hands with his large circle of friends in wishing him and his charming bride, the greatest joy and happiness throughout their wedded life. On Thursday afternoon and evening, they were at home to their friends, at 4555 Champain Ave., who viewed the wagon load of rich and costly presents which they received and read the telegrams of congratulations from Rev. E. J. Fisher, who is now traveling through the south and from Mrs. Anna Taylor of Omaha, Neb., and from several other friends. THE ONLY STEAM HEATED RESIDENCES RENTED TO COLORED PEOPLE IN CHICAGO.

CHILDREN. The Juvenile Protective Association, an adjunct to the Juvenile Court, has issued a bulletin to the citizens of Chicago, calling their attention to the provisions of the adult delinquency or adult responsibility law. It states that the ignorance of parents as to their responsibility under this law for the care of their children is evidenced daily in the courts. Under the old law a court could only reprimand a parent whose child had committed an offense. It had no power to enforce any sentence against him. Under the adult delinquency law, passed four years ago, the parent is held to a strict accountability for the support and nurture of his child. The law provides that as high a fine as $200 or a year's imprisonment or both may be imposed upon a parent on proof of his neglect or willful connivance at the offense. The bulletin states that before the passage of this law it was no punishment to a neglectful parent to have the court order the commitment of his child. It often happened that he instituted proceedings in order to be relieved of the responsibility of the child and its support. Now the responsibility is kept closely attached to the parent. The association draws attention to the fact that parents who permit or encourage their children to frequent railroad tacks for the purpose of picking up or stealing coal or rifling freight cars, who permit their boys ```markdown ``` to lounge about saloons or the streets late at night, frequent pool rooms or run with maliciously inclined ouths; who persist in sending their children for liquor, or to collect garbage or market refuse; who permit or encourage their children to sell gum or flowers at night or to beg; who drink heavily and allow their children to go without proper food or clothing or who in any other way do that which will directly tend to cause the dependency or delinquency of their children are liable under this law. The Juvenile Protective Association was formerly the Juvenile Court Committee. It played an important part in having the juvenile court law passed in this state and the present court established in Chicago. Each of its hired workers is a probation officer of the court. It has for its primary object the deceasing of the number of children who yearly are arraigned in the various courts. It estimates that each year between 3,000 and 4,000 children pass through the Juvenile Court and about 11,000 young people between the ages of 16 and 20 through the other courts. The association offers free advice and counsel to all parents on questions dealing with the law and agencies operating for the welfare of children. It will prosecute infractions of the adult delinquency law. It seeks information about vicious and unlawful influences and conditions which exist to the detriment of the child. It has 13 district offices in the city with a general office, at Room 1520, Ashland Block, 59 Clark street. Will promulgate and at all times uphold the true principles of Democracy, but Catholics, Protestants, Priests, Insoln. Single Taxers, Republicans, or anyone else can have their say, as long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed.

Springfield, Ill., November 1.—Mattie Walker, Colored, whose household furniture was burned by the mob during the Springfield race riot, August, 1908, was awarded a verdict of $268 against the city in the Circuit Court today. It was the first verdict for damages against the city on claims growing out of the riot. City officials believe the verdict is a victory for the city, as the jury found the city guilty under the 1887 statute, which allows recovery of three-fourths damage, and not under the 1905 act, which permits recovery of full amount of damages.

HOTELS READY FOR THE RUSH All the Hostelries, Big and Little, Are Prepared for the Coming of the Land and Exposition Guests. "Chicago is not going to be caught unprepared for the big crowds that will attend the Land and Irrigation Exposition," is the report given by a leading hotel manager. "We have been keeping our ear to the ground, and we hear reports from every direction that we are going to be surprised by the number of guests on account of the 'novel show' at the Coilseum, Nov 20 to Dec. 4. Of course, we always expect a big attendance at the Live Stock Show, which occurs on the same dates, but we shall have a crowd that will surpass anything seen in many years when the doors of the Land and Irrigation Exposition are thrown open on Nov. 20. Every hotel in Chicago is looking forward to this event and is prepared to see its capacity packed to the full by a class visitors who do not often get in Chicago. "This Land Exposition has a different sort of pull from the other big affairs that are held at the Coliseum from time to time. We appreciate the fact that we are going to have a very substantial class of visitors on this occasion and that they will come from many states. "According to the plans of the exposition it will be a great educational event and enable the land seeker to save money by having concentrated under one roof all the leading regions of the country where life is made attractive by irrigation and an agreeable climate and productive soil. You may tell all prospective visitors that we are ready for them and for them to come and enjoy this feast which Chicago has spread." The theater managers are also making preparations for special attractions during the exposition period. They will also take steps to be rid of the ticket scalpers and speculators who often interfere with patrons of the theater and prevent them from getting seats at the regular prices. "We shall do our part to entertain the exposition visitors in a fitting manner," said one of the prominent theater managers, speaking for all of the prominent theaters.

The manner in which the Athenians brought up their children is worth remembering. At seven years of age the Athenian lad entered the palestra, which was essentially a playground. All the first and better half of the day was spent in gymnastics, dancing, games and play. In the afternoon there were singing, some writing, some reading, all in the open air, and then came a long period of play again. Such was the schooling of the Greek lad up to the age of ten or eleven, and it did not differ essentially up to the age of sixteen, except in the severity of the exercises. And yet the world has not ceased to marvel at the results of the Greek education. It produced the highest type of man, physically and intellectually, that the world has ever seen, which Galton says was as far in advance of the modern Englishman as the modern Englishman is in advance of the native African. In physical beauty, courage and patriotism, in philosophy, literature, architecture and art, the Greeks have been the unsurpassed models of the ageen and are still the inspiration of our schools today. But they placed the emphasis upon hygiene, exercise, games and play, which are too much neglected in these days—Kansas City Star. From the Farm Jobbers and retailers profits.

You'll use them in Guayaquil. There the mosquitoes and greenhead files are so thick that horses and donkeys, unless their legs are cased in cloth, become unmanageable with the pain. Guayaquil is in Ecuador. It is directly under the equator. The heat there is insufferable. Up and down the narrow and foul smelling streets in blush clouds of bunting insects walk horses and donkeys in sunbonnets and pantslions."—New Orleans Times-Demo Civilization and the Negro. Nobody can guess as yet what is to be the destiny of the descendants of the 10,000,000 Negroes now in the United States. They are, we suppose by all odds the ablest, most civilized and competent 10,000,000 lot of Negroes in the world. They are all a school in a great school kept somewhat reluctantly by white men. Somehow and some time those Negroes are going to have something like a fair show. Civilization will have a job for them and it will be not the worst job that they can live by, but the best of which they are capable—Life. BROOKLYN MUSEUM OF ART S. E. Cor.

It is Commodore Vanderbilt discovered in James H. Rutter, then in the employ of the Erie railroad, a man he believed the freight department of the Central needed, says the Baltimore News. It is related that some time after he took charge of the Central's traffic office Rutter called on the commodore to submit a plan for improvement.

Immediately east of the broad road at the main entrance to the Illinois State Fair Grounds, during the State Fair, Oct. 1-9. State Game Warden Wheeler will display a score of varieties of pheasant, grouse, quail and other game birds which his department is propagating on the State game farms. Waterfowl in many breeds and either "animals with whigs" will form part of this matchless exhibit. The bright plumage of the birds, the distant countries from which they were imported and the certainty that they will soon be plentiful enough in Illinois to serve as delicate morsels for the palate, make this one of the most sightless and most interesting studies on the Illinois State Fair grounds. They are protected by law under heavy penalties for several years. The Official Goat. "Your wife doesn't seem to come much for that friend of yours."
