JACKSON, READ THE RESOLUTION OF THE CHICAGO UNDERTAKER'S ASSOCIATION AND IT WAS THE BEST OF THEM ALL. Sunday afternoon, funeral services were held over the remains of the late Frank W. King, at Quinn Chapel, and more than two thousand people crowded into the church, to witness the exercises and hundreds were unable to gain admission. Little before two o'clock the funeral procession arrived at the church from his late home, 36th and State streets, and many people all along the route were in evidence to watch it pass. It was headed by the Masons and Knight Templars accompanied by a band of music. The crowd at the church was so great, that several police officers had to force it back in order for the funeral procession to enter it. The members of the various secret societies which he belonged to, occupied almost every inch of space on the main floor of the church. The floral tributes, which were numerous and very beautiful extended clear across the platform. A string orchestra assisted in furnishing the music; Madame Patti Brown, sweetly sang a solo, and the choir under the leadership of Mrs. Martha B. Anderson, rendered several selections suitable for the sad occasion. Major John C. Buckner, grand high priest of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows; very ably conducted the exercises and introduced those taking part in them. After resolutions had been read by the heads of Arnet Lodge of Odd Fellows; Household of Ruth No. 1073; Electa Chapter Order of Eastern Star; Ancient Order of Foresters; Hannibal Lodge K. Ps.; North Star Lodge of Masons No. 1; the Elks and the Chicago Undertakers Association, which was very feelingly read by Daniel M. Jackson, and which was the best of them all, and published in full in these columns. Short spiritual addresses were delivered by Rev. J. F. Thomas, Rev. E. T. Martin, Rev. A. J. Carey, Rev. Jones, and Rev. Cook, the eloquent new pastor of Quinn Chapel. At the conclusion of their remarks, the masons assumed charge of the services and conducted their part well in laying his remains to rest in Oakwood, in the lot recently purchased. It was evident, that Frank W. King was well liked by people in all walks of life. There was something about him, which attracted people to him and many whites attended his funeral. The 3rd Ward Republican Club sent resolutions of sympathy to Mrs. King, also the Undertakers Association of Indianapolis, Ind., and later on memorial services will be held and all the resolutions will be read. Congressman, Martin B. Madden, as soon as he was informed of the death of Mr. King, called on his bereaved widow and offered his assistance and condolence. In memorial of Frank W. King, by the Chicago Undertakers' Association, read by Dan. M. Jackson. It is only right that a few words of farewell should be said at the bier of "Frank King" one of our cherished and valuable members, it would be wrong without paying some tribute to his blameless life, and without voicing our sorrow at his untimely death. 'His ```markdown ``` life was gentle," and in this harsh world gentleness is a quality which carries balm to many a wounded heart. He worked earnestly and devotedly, and there is no prayer that falls from human lips more eloquent than a life of patient"labor. Words may waste themselves in air, but deeds endure, and let us say here, and perhaps it is the highest praise that man can win from men. His work was not for himself, but for others. He was unselfish. The New Year breaks for his wife and old father. We hope it will bring no new sadness in their lives, but that it may bring comfort in the memory of all their boy has been to them, may that memory remain with them through the years whose burdens will not be lightened by his helping hand. This world is the common country of men who have the same hopes, the same griefs and the same end. His was the religion of humanity. "There is a faith beyond all forms of faith, there is a hope too deep in all our hearts to rise upon the wings of language, there is a charity too far reaching to be confined within the limits of a sect. If there be a future it must be a happy one for him who has led a manly life, and has died, mourned by his fellow-men. If there be none, he has not lived in vain, because the remembrance of his gentle worth will fall like dew on other hearts through all the night of death. He is at peace! busy nands will be at work in the great city where he cast his lot—he will be missed only by his wife, old father and a few of his faithful companions who knew his voice and understood his cheerful, kindly nature. I knew him, he loved the beautiful, I hope that nature through the golden days of summer will shed her beauty on his grave. I hope his sleep will be so unbroken that he will dream himself at home. Farewell Frank and we pray the great God of Nature. Grant that we here before thee may be set free from the fear of vicissitude and the fear of death, may finish what remains before us of our course, without dishonor to ourselves, or hurt to others, and when the day comes may die in peace, deliver us from fear and favor, from mean hopes and cheap pleasures, have mercy on each in his deficiency, let him be not cast down, support the stumbling on the way, and give at last rest to the weary. MORE PRAISE FOR THE BROAD AX. The Broad AX, one of the leading journals of the race and published at Chicago, with Jutua P. Taylor, Editor, has reached the accele of success, and it says of itself, "The highest water mark was reached in journalism by the publication of the fourteenth anniversary edition of The Broad AX." We congratulate the editor for the splendid showing he made in said edition, and also for carrying out its motto at all times, "How to the fine; let the chief fly where they may." May The Broad AX go on from one success to another.—The Charlton, Nashville, Tex. Jan. 28, 19 CHICAGO, FEBRUARY 5, 1910. Valuable and honorable member of Congress, who will be re-elected to that body this coming fall, from the 8th congressional district of Illinois. CARY B. LEWIS, WHO IS INCAPABLE OF GIVING EXPRESSION TO ONE SINGLE NEW IDEA OF HIS OWN IN A COLD BLOODED MANNER BOLDLY STEALS OUR BRAIN WORK TO FILL THE COLUMNS OF THE INDIANAPOLIS FREEMAN. APPOMATTOX CLUB NOTES. The regular Board of Directors meeting will be held Monday evening February 7th, in the Director's room at which time the recommendation of President Anderson for work along civic lines will be taken up and plans made. Cary B. Lewis, who halis from Louisville, Ky., and who is one of the most expert literary theveles of the age, struck this city several weeks ago, for the purpose of working up some business among its Colored citizens, for the Freeman of Indianapolis, Ind., and in his letter to that paper, from this city which appeared in its columns Saturday, Jan. 22, Cary B. Lewis, the impudent brat and imposter newspaper writer, who is incapable of giving expression to one single new idea of his own, used the most important parts of our article on Jesse Binga, the banker, which appeared in the columns of this paper December 25, 1909 and Jan. 1, 1910, without giving The Broad Ax or the writer one bit of credit for it in any manner, shape or form, which simply proves that he is a first water literary theft. The Freeman of Saturday, Jan. 29, contains the second letter from Chicago by Cary B. Lewis, and in that poorly written letter he boldly steals more of our brain work and unblushingly he uses word for word, without the slightest change of what was said in these columns in reference to the two Cole sisters, employed in Mr. Binga's bank, and in this same issue he uses our exact language respecting Col. John R. Marshall, without changing one word and without quotation marks. Thus proving beyond a doubt that he possesses no ability when it comes to writing; that he cannot dish up original matter and that he is past master in the art of stealing the brain work of others. The Freeman, please copy. Miss Ana Lou Mitchell, who graduated with the 1910 January class of the Hyne Park High School, was the first Dotted girl that was ever a member of the Senior Girls Society, and the first to show pluck enough to exercise her prerogative by attending the Junior Prominade, which is a complimentary dance given by the Junior Class to the Senior Class. Miss Mitchella brother Melville, no-commended her. The regular Board of Directors' meeting will be held Monday evening, February 7th, in the Directors' room, at which time the recommendations of President Anderson for work along civic lines will be taken up and plans made. * * * The club is contemplating the installation of a restaurant in the basement of the quarters for the exclusive use of the members and their friends. Under the splendid executive ability of the Chairman of the House Committee, Mr. Rufus Eates, this branch of the club life ought to be a wholesome inducement for a larger attendance of the rank and file of the club members. President Anderson following the policy of his predecessor, will be at the club quarters every Saturday evening, from eight to nine, for any business that any of the members may desire to have brought before the meetings of the board. He would also be pleased to have any of the members at this time make suggestions and recommendations for active club life and development along race lines. The last meeting of the Board of Directors voted a dispensation for a period of ninety days, beginning with the fifteenth of January and ending with the fifteenth of April, during which period the fee for membership will be $5.00. This dispensation ought to be taken advantage of by a large number of Chicago's best citizens who are not at this time identified with the Appomattox Club and its activities. Chicago's highest musical circles will unite in doing signal honors to Miss Hazel Harrison at her recital Sunday February 6, 3:30 P. M. at Orchestra Hall, in the Fine Arts Building at which time and place selections never before attempted by any Colored pianist. Miss Harrison is admittedly the premier musical artist among Colored people and while abroad enjoyed a distinction rarely won by an American—an engagement with the famous—Philharmony Orchestra of Berlin. The recital Sunday will illustrate her remarkable ability as musician, and it is to be hoped that her audience Mrs. Mattie Barnett Won Her Suit in the Municipal Court Against The Former Directors of Sandy W. Trice and Company. THE CASE WILL BE APPEALED TO THE APPELLATE COURT. The first part of January 1908, it appears that Sandy W. Trice and Company, borrowed $500 from Mrs. Mattie Barnett, and the money was to be paid back at the rate of $50.00 per month, and the directors namely Dee Parker, C. C. Watson, George W. Murray, A. T. Henry, James M. Lee, Sandy W. Trice, M. J. Trice, and Rev. A. J. Carey, each promising to pay one ninth of the monthly installment. -Something like over $200 was paid on the original amount and then a new note was made, changing the plan from monthly payments and fixing the time for the whole amount to come due, and when it did fall due, Mrs. Barnett, for some cause or other unknown to us failed to receive her money. will include many members of her race whose presence will attest not only their recognition of her splendid ability as an artist, but their appreciation of the artist as a member of our race. The tickets are one dollar, seventy-five and fifty cents. RUBE FOSTER BACK IN FORM, PITCHES A GREAT GAME, FOUR TO NOTHING. THE LELAND GIANTS FOR 1910 LOOK LIKE THE REAL GOODS; SECRETARY , MOSELEY HAPPY. The Palm Beach Daily News of Wednesday, Jan. 26th, had this to say: At the first game of baseball for the season, there was a large attendance and everyone who was present had an enjoyable time, though the score of 4 to 1, in favor of the Leland Giants team may have created a sad feeling for the enthusiastic fans who wished to see the Royal Giants carry off the victory. Nevertheless, all were satisfied with the good and exciting game. A great deal of life and snap was thrown into the game by the humorous catching in which George Johnson engaged, Johnson was first baseman for the Leland Giants, Al Robinson was first baseman for the Royal Giants and was equally as good. There was no lack of musical accompaniment and the brass band was most generous in its contribution of one lively selection after another. Rube Foster, the Colored Champion Ball Pitcher of the World, added grace and dignity to his title as he struck out 4 men and gave the Royal Giants only 3 hits, while the Leland Giants got 4 runs and 11 hits off of Earle, Pitcher for the Royal Giants. They play again next Wednesday. The park owners association of this city met last Monday and unanimously elected the Leland Giants and the Gunthers to membership. This makes 8 club with parks, and 8 without, in the association, which makes it twice as strong as the city league. It meets again Monday for the election of officers. Geo. McGurn, Wm. Nlesen, and Beauregard F. Moseley has been appointed on the nominating committee. Police Inspector Nicholas Hunt, who has for many years presided over the Hyde Park district, has been transferred to the Desplains street district with full instructions from chief Steward to clean it up, and to keep it clean, Inspector Hunt, is the right man in the right place. Then her Attorney Albert B. George, instituted suit for her against the above mentioned gentlemen in the Municipal Court, and on Tuesday morning the case came up before Judge Crowe, and after he had listened to the testimony of Mrs. Barnett, he entered up judgment in favor of her for $283.50. As stated before, Attorney Albert B. George, represented Mrs. Barnett, and Attorneys J. Gray Lucas, and Walter M. Farmer, waged the legal battle for the directors of Sandy W. Trice and Company. It is claimed by quite a few lawyers, that Judge Crowe was unsound in his rulings and decision. He invited the losing side to move on to the next or a higher court, and the case will therefore be appealed to the Appellate Court. ST. MONICA COURT NO. 279, CATHOLIC ORDER OF FORESTERS INSTALLED NEW OFFICERS MONDAY EVENING.

THOMAS McCAIN WRITES IN FAVOR OF A BENEFIT FOR J. ED. GREEN. Julius F. Taylor, Editor of The Broad Ax: There is a movement on foot to interest the good people of our city in a benefit to be tepdered to J. Ed. Green, late amusement director of the once celebrated Pekin Stock Co. The date and place is yet to be selected. It can be remembered with pleasure the many pleasant evenings we have spent at the Pekin Theatre, enjoying the whirlwind musical productions, comedies and dramas, all of which were the best that any Negro organization ever produced. Do you remember that? Well that same J. Ed. Green has been sick for quite a while and the doctor says that a nice quiet place away out in the open air would do him best. Will you help the cause? I think we all can look upon this as a good one. I as a one-man Committee will appoint Dr. M. J. Brown and Alex. H. Stephens to head the Committee to take care of the business end of the benefit. I dare say that I have the hearty co-operation of the Masonic and Pythian Lodges, also the Colored Theatrical Profession of Chicago. Now get busy. Will preamble and at all times unite the true principles of Democracy, but Catholics, Protestants, Priests, Is- lamists, Anglican Tazars, Republican, or anyone else can have their say, and as long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed.

Harold MacGrath, the author, is at Malta on his leisurely way around the world. William Lightfoot Vissler, author and actor, was born in Owingsville, Ky., sixty-seven years ago. He carried a gun four years in the civil war, has written over a thousand poems and has done editorial work on scores of newspapers. William Watson, the English poet who has attracted to himself the attention of the world by his poem, "The Woman With the Serpent's Tongue," has been a prolific writer since 1880. Some years ago he went into retirement as a result, it was commonly said, of a mental collapse. Although it is the Swedish academy which awards the Nobel prizes, Selma Lagerlof is the first Swede to receive the award for literature. Mme. Lagerlof is characterized by one writer as "the creator of a new school of literature in Sweden—the optimistic." Her personality has been described as "radiating sunshine." German Gleanings. The industry of making lebkuchen, or honey cake, is worth to the German city of Nuremberg about $1,000,000 a year. In Germany marriages by any foreign consular officer are strictly prohibited except where there are special treaty stipulations. A feature of the new German system of telephotography is that the wire used to transmit a picture may be used for telephoning at the same time. A new fire alarm box tried at Kiel has a loud speaking telephone transmitter and receiver in place of the usual clockwork mechanism. This enables the central station to make necessary inquiries about the fire. Wilson Foster, Klondike prospector, has presented the Dominion museum in Ottawa with 10,000 specimens of minerals secured in the Klondike region, gold, topaz, opals, etc. Henry Putnam of Milford is probably the oldest brown tall moth picker in New Hampshire.

The progress which our people have made along industrial and educational lines in the western section of the United States within the past fifteen years seems to sustain the contention of some of the leaders among us that the west affords more liberal opportunities for the business development of the race than any other section. That the race has largely entered into the commercial spirit of that section may be plainly seen by the thrift and industry of our people in cities like Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland, Denver, Buxton, Los Angeles and Oakland. One of the most progressive business men of Kansas City, Mo., is Fortune J. Weaver, who is the proprietor of the Afro-American Employ- FORTUNE J. WEAVER. ment company. By strict business methods and economy Mr. Weaver has built up a large concern and is considered to be the leading business man in the state. In the matter of securing and supplying domestic help he has patrons as far west as California and Alaska. Mr. Weaver also does a thriving real estate business at his home, which often amounts to $6,000 per month. Besides being ably assisted by Mrs. Weaver, who is a thorough business woman, Mr. Weaver employs a corps of capable assistants, who are interested in their work and alert at all times. As president of the Business Men's league of the city Mr. Weaver exerts an influence which is both helpful and inspiring. New Addition to Racial Literature. John Edward Bruce, the well known writer and newspaper correspondent of Yonkers, N. Y., has in course of preparation a rare selection of biographies of eminent Afro-Americans who have won their spurs by grit, persistence and self reliance, which will appear in book form in the near future. To each sketch the writer will add a series of helpful questions on various subjects for the benefit of young folks. Mr. Bruce writes interestingly and knows how to state facts as they should be. J. R.-E. Lee, corresponding secretary of the National Association of Teachers In Colored Schools, is making a tour of Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas. Mr. Lee will visit teachers' associations in each of these states during January, gathering statistics and other helpful information for the next annual meeting of the National Association of Teachers, which will be held in Oklahoma City in July. The Millennium Is Near at Hand. Time Honored Customs Are Fading—Noted Clergymen In Symposium on Intermarriage Between Jew and Gentile Assert That Cupid Is No Respecter of Persons. By "BRUCE GRIT." The American Hebrew has become such a power in the social, political and commercial life of this nation and is making his influence felt so keenly and effectively that the gentle race, so called, has begun "to sit up and take notice" of him. The views expressed by leading representatives of the Protestant and Jewish churches in New York in a writing covering several columns in the New York Sun recently would seem to indicate that we are on the verge of a social upheaval. The title of the article is, "Are Jew and Gentile Nearer?" We hope every Negro will read what these learned clergymen have said in justification of the intermarriage of Jews and gentiles. While personally we do not favor intermarriage between the races, we cannot help indorsing the utterances of the clergy of both the Jewish and gentle races who assert (and with good reason and sound logic) that Cupid is no respecter of persons. For a thousand years the Jews have been despised among all nations. Less than fifty years ago this race was the butt of ridicule, the victim of coarse gibes and jests, the objects of scorn and contumely and of the ignorant and pitying contempt of a race whose chief asset is its complacent egotism. The Jew has been a plodder. His patience, his persistency, his dogged determination, his indomitable will power, have each and all combined to convince the all knowing and fearing gentile that, after all, there may be something in the promise made to these people as contained in the whole of the twenty-eighth chapter of Deuteronomy and particularly in verses 8 to 11. And now in the year 1910 a leading gentile newspaper devotes seven columns to a discussion of the intermarriage of Jews and gentiles. And representative clergymen of both these races—one as old as civilization, the other a composite of many races and no history to speak of—have placed themselves on record as favoring mixed marriages. Will the same reasons and logic and philosophy apply to intermarriage between another race quite as old as the Jewish race and the gentiles? Would the clergy of the gentile faith be as unanimous in their approval of such marriages, or would they draw the line upon a respectable Negro and a respectable white woman who preferred marriage to a life of shame? The subject in the light of recent developments is certainly interesting and significant as showing the state of mind into which the power and influence of the Jewish race upon American civilization have thrown the gentile race, so called. "The stone that the builders had rejected has become the head of the corner." The coming race in America, unless all prophecies fail, is the Jewish race, and gentiles will do well to get on the band wagon in time. COURT RULING GIVES HOPE. Incorporated Bodies Must Not Discriminate Against Afro-Americans. Because no provision is made for the education of Negro children the law for establishing county agricultural high schools was declared unconstitutional by the state supreme court at Jackson, Miss., recently. The law specifically states that schools are to be for "white youth." The decision determines exactly what the informer has always contended was the law relating to the proscription of Negroes in any organized body that requires statutory authority or the membership of which needs judicial construction. Unless provision is made for Negro membership in all incorporated bodies their respective charters will be unconstitutional and hence Negroes using the same work either in text books of schools or rituals of secret orders, the membership of which is limited to "white" folks, will be guilty of no offense, as such organisation can have no legal existence until it wipes out the word "white" from its limitation to membership. It follows, therefore, that the Elks, Pythians, Odd Fellows or other incorporated secret bodies or chartered schools can none of them exclude Negroes from membership by limiting the membership to "white" and have any standing in the courts if the matter is properly presented. The Informer does not know who has defended the suits against the colored Pythians or Elks, but offers this as a pointer to those engaged in future litigation of this nature.—Detroit (Mich.) Informer. Good Showing For Charitable Work. The large number of families supplied with Christmas dinners and other useful materials by the various charitable institutions among Afro-Americans during the recent holiday season should give sufficient encouragement to those who have given financial aid to such organizations or institutions in the past to give more liberally this year. Food, clothing and fuel as well as cash will be thankfully received by the directors and wholly used for the purpose for which they are shown. F. & P.

Written Chinese is practically unknown throughout the empire and has hardly altered during the whole course of Chinese history. The spoken language, on the other hand, is constantly changing. Novel Ammunition. During the sieges of mediaeval times it was very common for the beleaguered to throw from their catapults and other military engines dead bodies of dogs, swine, together with pieces of horses-fish and similar carrion into the city or castle besieged in order that the defenders might by the stench of this putridity be forced to surrender. Silken Garments. Silken saline has a standing among the oldest garments in the world. Robes of that material were worn by men and women alike 2,500 years before the birth of Christ. Useful Cement. A useful cement for mending earthen or stone jars, stopping leaks in the seams of tin pans or iron kettles or tightening loose joints of iron or wood is made by mixing litharge and glycerin to a thick cream. This will resist acids, heat and cold if the article is not used until the cement has hardened. Aluminium Although aluminium can be welded to other metals with a blow torch, two pieces of aluminium cannot be joined in that manner. Jasmine. Jasmine is an Indian shrub. Its starry, wax white blossoms are indescribably sweet. All the burning pain and passion and pathos and mystery of the Hindoo race seem to rise up to you in its breath. Illuminating Gas Gas for lighting a dwelling was first used in New York city in the residence of Samuel Leggett, which formerly stood at 8 Cherry street. Anthracite Coal. The first anthracite coal known to be such was discovered at Mauch Chunk, Pa., in 1791. The Lehigh Coal Mining company began business in the same year, making a commodity of the discovery. Densely Settled. The most thickly settled country in the world is Belgium, where the population is 680 to the square mile. Next comes the Netherlands, with 442 to the miles. A Chinese Trick of War. A Chinese Trick of War. A curious artifice of war was adopted by a Chinese junk when attacked by a man-of-war. The crew threw coconuts overboard into the sea and then jumped in among them. Nearly all escaped, for it was impossible to tell which were heads and which were nukes. Autumn Grass. The growth of grass that comes in a long, mild, moderately rainy autumn is said to be far more nutritious for cattle than the spring grass. It is richer. Army Officers' Pay. The pay of officers in active service in the army is: Lieutenant general, $11,000 a year; major general, $8,000; brigadier general, $0,000; colonel, $4,000; lieutenant colonel, $8,500; major, $8,000; captain, $2,400; first lieutenant, $2,000, and second lieutenant, $1,700. From colonel down the payment is increased every five years. Unpleasant Attention. In Russia photographers are in the habit of calling attention to any customer who refuses to pay up by hanging his portrait upside down in a conspicuous position of their shop. Chinese Ladies. No Chinese lady goes anywhere without her powder box or falls to touch her face with powder whenever she catches sight of herself in the hit of mirror in the lid of her box. When she is going out for a formal call or a wedding party or a dinner she is apt to paint her face with a paste made of wet rice flour. Cats and Valerian. Cats evince, as is well known, a curious emotional disturbance when in the neighborhood of a valerian plant, of which they are very fond. It apparently produces in them a species of intoleration. The Calabar Bean. The calabar bean is highly poisonous and in foreign countries is used for medicinal purposes. Its effect is opposite that of belladonna and is used for contraction of the eye, in itanium, neuralgia and rheumatic disease. It is such a powerful depressant to nervous action that surgeons can only use it in small amounts. Gold in California. The Society of California Plumers determined after careful investigation that Jan 28, 1848, was the exact date of the discovery of gold in California by James W. Marshall. The gold was found in the rocky bed of the tailence of the Sutter cewmill at Colonia, on the south fork of the American river. How awful 'twould be to live at the pool.

He looked expectant, the bride looked sheepish, and Pat, shifting from one foot to another, looked guilty. At last he began, "I—I don't like to be mana, father, but I changed me clothes in a hurry and left me wages in me other pants." Then he added in a whisper: "Take me down in the cellar. I'm a plumber, and I will show ye how to fix the gas meter so it won't register more than 40 per cent." —Success Magazine. Fate's Joits. If fate hands out a bump to you, Don't quit the game.
