To those who are capable of reasoning from cause to effect, should by this time be fully convinced that the out come of the bitter Aldermanic contest in the second ward, was indeed a very unfortunate ending for the Colored voters in general in this city and country. After looking at it up one side and down the other, it is rightfully contended by Col. Dewey and his associates in the late fight that they put their candidate, Wilson Shufelt, for Alderman over, without the aid of the Colored voters, as only four hundred and sixteen Colored men in the second ward voted the Republican ticket. The Colored gentlemen who were opposed to the candidacy of Wilson Shufelt—those who attempted to manage the campaign for Mr. Wright, in our humble judgment played very poor politics, they started out with a lot of noise to defeat the election of the regular Republican candidate, claiming that "they would elect Mr. Wright, whereas if they had thrown their strength to John H. Montgomery, the Democratic candidate and greatly assisted in helping to elect him, they would have been successful in pulling down the Republican house or machine, which they and Mr. Wright, had assisted to build up, but owing to their short-sightedness and, childish ideas, they played mighty poor politics and the result is that SPITTING LAWS POORLY ENFORCED. Only 3,400 Arrests Made in 1909. Churches to Urge Action. Anti-spitting ordinances, laws and regulations in more than five-eighths of the cities and towns of the country are not enforced as they should be, alleges the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in a bulletin issued today. While most of the larger cities of the United States have such laws on their books, in the great majority of cases they are ignored or overlooked. The bulletin is preliminary to a more extensive study of the subject which will be presented at the next meeting of the National Association in Washington on May 2, by Robert J. Newton of St. Louis. It covers in detail the enforcement of the anti-spitting ordinances in 80 of the largest cities in the country. During the year 1909 in these 80 cities, 3,411 arrests were made for violation of the laws regarding spitting in public ```markdown ``` Col. Dewey, was able to elect his candidate without their assistance and he has left Mr. Wright and his whole army of would-be smart statesmen and politicians hanging high and dry. Many Afro-American women who would not think of residing in the second ward among the common Negroes, and neither would their husbands, who should have been at home looking after their untidy and ill-mannered children and cleaning up their houses or kitchens, put in their time on election day in button-holing men—many of them half drunk—others with bottles of whiskey sticking out of their pockets, to vote for Edward H. Wright. It was evident to us that with few exceptions they were absolutely ignorant in relation to playing practical politics—that they where wholly out of their place—that they were guided by a false sentiment and that they are no better qualified to dabble in politics than the so-called boss devil is to conduct a Sunday school The followers of Mr. Wright, are still feeling sore over his defeat they held a small meeting the first of this week at Institutional Church, and judging from the remarks of those who furnished the wind and the water, they are seemingly endeavoring to establish the color "line in politics in the black belt." places. Over 2,900 convictions were secured and $4,100.87 was collected in fines. New York had more arrests than any other city, having had 2,513, with 2,099 convictions, and $1,936.80 collected in fines. Baltimore comes next with 214 arrests and an equal number of convictions. Pittsburg is third in rank with St. Louis in fourth place. St. Louis, however, would have been in second place, if the sanitary police who enforce the law in that city had been at work in 1909. In 52 cities out of the 80 the law was either not enforced at all or very poorly enforced. Of the remaining 28 cities, less than one-half of them contributed more than three-fourths of the arrests for spitting and of the fines collected. On account of the fact that National Tuberculosis Sunday will be observed on April 24, the National Association is calling the attention of clergymen in all parts of the country to the advisibility of bringing before their congregations the necessity for better enforcement of the anti-spitting laws. ```markdown ``` COL. ABRAM DALE GASH. Prominent lawyer, eloquent orator and author of much note, who is waging a persistent legal fight to have the Lake Shore Front on the North side to revert back to the people, so that the children can continue to romp and play upon it and bathe in the sparkling cool waters of grand old Lake Michigan. "One of the great antebellum rivals of A. T. Stewart, the first of our merchant princes, was John F. Lewis," said the new sole survivor of the Lincoln presidential electors from New York state, exJudge Abram J. Dittenhofer. "I knew Mr. Lewis in the latter years of his life. He was a man of striking personal appearance, as erect as an Indian, and as muscular; his complexion was somewhat swarthy, his large eyes were dark, and his hair curly. Many persons were of the opinion that there was a strain of Spanish blood in him, and the common understanding was that he had come to New York as a lad from the West Indies. But he never spoke of his early life, not even to his friends. All that was known to a certainty of him was that he had begun his mercantile career as a clerk in the great retail establishment of which in time he became the head. "While I was in Europe a year or two after the close of the civil war Mr. Lewis died, and shortly after my return to this country I read in a legal paper a brief report of the filing of the will left by Mr. Lewis. "At once it occurred to me that the conditions of the will would not stand the test of a contest, if any were made. It provided that the bulk of the property, running up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, should be turned over to and possessed by the young woman named therein, so long as she remained unmarried. But in case she married, or refused to accept the sole condition imposed upon her, the estate was to be placed in trust and the entire income from it used to beautify Mr. Lewis burial plot. "It so happened that I was retained to see if there were any relatives of Mr. Lewis living. After a long search the only clew I was able to get that might lead to the discovery of living relatives was the fact that Mr. Lewis had occasionally received letters from a little town in Canada many miles north of Toronto. "I decided to go to that town. After breakfast on the day following my arrival I chanced to pick up a newspaper while waiting my turn in the town barber shop. In it I saw some reference which led me to suspect that I was on the right track. I made some inquiries and was told that I would probably find John F. Lewis' mother living upon a little farm some distance out of the village. "I went there and found—a coal black Negress. She told me her story. She had escaped from slavery in the south years before the outbreak of the war, made her way into Canada by means of the underground railway, settled in the village and in time married a Scotchman of the name of Lewis, who was a sort of pioneer in that region. John F. Lewis was the son of that marriage. "In early boyhood he had gone from home, determined to conceal the fact that he was the son of a slave woman by a white father, being sure that his physical appearance would make it easy for him to do this. From that time until the day of his death he had been accustomed to send to his mother money presents three or four times a year, he, in turn receiving from her each time, a pledge that she would not reveal his parentage. This pledge she had faithfully kept, breaking it to me only because she felt that the death of her son had left her free to talk. "Well, I obtained the fullest corroborative proofs of the mother's statements and was authorized by her to contest her son's will in her behalf. I did so, the will was set aside and a satisfactory division of the estate was made between the black mother of the dead man and the young white woman of superior attractiveness, refinement and modesty, who had been named by Mr. Lewis as his sole legatee. Following this settlement the mother, returned to Canada. "As for the young woman, she lapsed into absolute obscurity, and from that day to this her identity has never been fully established. Nor was there ever any satisfactory reason advanced as to why Mr. Lewis should have bequeathed his property to her or imposed upon her the condition that he did in his will."—E. J. Edwards, in the Chicago Daily News, April 11, '10. TEN YEAR OLD GIRL A MOTHER. Child and Her Child "Doing Well" at County Hospital—Refuses Name of the Father. Annie Epps at the age of 10 years is the mother of a baby girl at the county hospital. The child which weighs 64 pounds, was born last Saturday, and both the child mother and the baby are reported to be "doing well." The hospital authorities are confident that the statement of the girl's age is correct. She is Colored, and is the daughter of Mrs. Minnie Fredericks, 319 Fifty-second street, by a former marriage. Attempts to learn who is the father of the baby have failed, the child mother refusing to give the name. —The Chicago Tribune, April 12, 'to. The very fact; that Annie Epps, has become a mother at the age of ten years; clearly proves, that her mother and the mothers of thousands of other girls, never look after their daughters, nor care what becomes of them, just so they are out of their sight, and it follows as naturally as the light follows the darkness, that they are permitted to run at large, and become the easy victims of vile men and boys, who delight in debauching young girls. —Editor Twelve Hundred Colored Enumerators Appointed. LARGEST NUMBER OF ENUMERATORS AND CLERKS IN HISTORY OF CENSUS BUREAU. Washington, D. C., April '10: Twelve hundred Colored U. S. census enumerators have been appointed and before April 15, when the actual enumeration will begin, there will be three hundred more. These appointments have been made for Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. In no previous census were there so many Colored enumerators as will assist in taking the census of 1910. The plan of appointing Colored men to take the census of their own people in districts where they constitute two-fifths or more of the total population has been very generally followed and many Colored persons of unusual ability have been appointed. The number of Colored enumerators is less than the total of the enumeration distem. In many cases one Colored enumerator will take care of two districts and, in others, three. Under this arrangement between 1,900 and 2,400 districts will have Colored enumerators. As was to be expected, some difficulties were met in securing Negro enumerators. In some districts protest was made against the appointment of Colored men. Such appointments were nevertheless ordered by Director Durand wherever GARDENING IN THE CITY. If you will plant your yard with vegetables and flowers, you will be much better off. It will keep things cleaner, and that will help to make things healthier. It will furnish you flowers for your house and yard, and that will make your wife happier. It will give you a little shade and a little vegetation, and that will add to your comfort and clean the air you breathe. Your garden will use up some of the manure from the alley back of your house, and that will help you to keep the flies down. It will give some exercise in the open air to some members of your family, and that will do them good. Then why not try it this Spring, now? Get you a little bit of ground, your front yard or your back yard. Cover it with stable manure from some box in your alley. Spade the manure in the ground. Plant the flowers next to the fence. Try Sweet Williams, Lilly-of-the-Valley, Hardy Asters, Hibiscus, Tulips, Bleeding Heart, Fox Glove, Spring Bulbs, Golden Glow, Peonies, Phlox, Hollyhocks, Columbine, Sunflowers; try some of these flowers or some from home. Now plant some Early Corn, Late Corn, Tomatoes and Peppers, Radishes, Peas, Beans, Lettuce, Onions, Early Cabbage, Endives, Beets, Pole Beans, Rhubarb, Parsley, Asparagus. A few of these flowers and a few rows of most of these vegetables can be gotten on 15x15 feet of ground and this will leave room for a patch of grass next to the street if you use the front yard, and next to the house, if you use the back yard. You can grow vegetables enough to help out greatly with the weekly grocer's bill. Have you heard of how many people have gardens on 25 foot lots in South Chicago? Why should not other wards follow the same plan? Do not try it without spading in a bountiful supply of stable manure. If you want more information, write J. H. Prost, City Forester, City Hall, Chicago. Press Service, Department of Health. April 14, 1910; No. 7. ed Colored ors Appointed. MERATORS AND CLERKS IN BUREAU. competent men could be secured. In all districts where Colored men were entitled to appointment, but were not recommended by the supervisors, the papers of all who had taken the examination were re-examined and if any Colored applicants had made the required average their appointment was immediately ordered. In making this investigation it was found that in some districts, however, not all of the number of Negroes entitled to appointment had taken the examination and in other cases they failed to make the required averages, while still other applicants did not reside in the districts to be enumerated. The Colored people are also well represented on the office force of the Census Bureau. There are 109 Colored clerks and other employees engaged in general lines of work in the office at Washington and the number is increasing every day. These have been appointed without regard to color and their work is identically the same as that of the other clerks and employees. With a large number of Colored men as enumerators than ever before and with a large representation up to the present time on the office force of the bureau, there is every reason to believe that the present census will be the most satisfactory the Colored people have ever had. THE AMATEUR MINSTREL CLUB THANKED FOR AIDING THE OLD FOLKS' HOME Chicago, April 11, 1910. Julius F. Taylor. Please allow me space in your columns to publicly thank the gentlemen of the Amateur Minstrel Club for their noble effort in behalf of the Home for Aged and Infirm Colored People. These gentlemen early last winter, informed the management of their purpose in this regard, and the result of their arduous labor for success and for charity was plainly evidenced by the enormous attendance at their entertainment on March 28th. On Thursday evening last it was my pleasure to receive from the hands of Mr. I. N. Dunlap, treasurer of the Club, the munificent sum of two hundred eleven dollars ($211.44). The Women's Aid realized $27.00 from the refreshment privilege; the Volunteer Workers' Club received $12.00 from the ladies' check room. In as much as these two clubs work exclusively for the "Home," we really netted $250.00 for the institution. We desire herewith to thank the Amateur Minstrel Club again and again for this splendid contribution, and bespeak for them the commendation and praise of the public generally. Very respectfully, W. H. Jackson, Secretary, FRIEND TO 1,200 SLAVES, WIL LIAM BLAIKIE, DIES. Utica, N.

A GREAT VICTORY PROMISED FOR MISSIONS. To the Baptists of Illinois. At no time in the fourteen years of my secretaryship, have so many of our pastors, churches and sunday schools heeded the call of our overworked missionaries and their Foreign Mission Board, as in this Easter Rally. Reports are coming in by every mail. Let every pastor who received our special appeal and every superintendent who received the programs, do the manly and Christian thing, etc.—do by the missionaries as he would have them do by him, were he in Africa, South America or the Isles of the Sea. Should this be done, we can send every worker help from the rally. Loving obedience to our Lord who saved us by His Blood—who bade us go into all the world with the message of salvation, should prompt every believer to respond to the work and workers in so needy an hour as this. We have received from a two-cent stamp to fifty dollars and fifty cents ($50.50) from sunday schools. One little school away up in the hills of Virginia reports $10. The superintendent tells how it was done as follows: "We spent a week in prayer as the board requested of us, and had a grand time on Sunday." From your state, churches and schools have reported $66.81 in five days ending Friday, April 1st. This will seem very small, but added to the other states it tells for God and missions. Pastor, superintendents and friends, do not rest until a collection has been sent to your board for this work! The Mission Herald will be issued about April 20th, and will contain a full report of all the churches, schools and societies, that helped. The state papers will be kept informed also. Rally Baptist, rally all --- along the line and let us hear from you! Yours in His name, L. G. Jordan, 726 W. Walnut St., Louisville, Ky. CHATEAU RINK NOTES.

You better take advantage of them and visit the Chateau Rink, the home of the Leland Giants Baseball Club. In making my many rounds through the city, looking for my many friends, I visited the Chateau Rink and found them all there having a good time. Some skating and some dancing, so I came to the conclusion that the Chateau is the only live place of amusement in the city. I advise all to visit it and be convinced. The Leland Giants new Park is about complete and the prettiest thing in town. The Leland Giants have won every game played since their spring practice.

Although the Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has been trying for years to secure a conviction for the brutal practice of blinding birds to make them sing more sweetly it is only recently that their efforts have been rewarded. And undergoing a sentence of three months' imprisonment at the present moment is a Camberwell man, who confessed to an R. S. P. C. A. inspector that he had been at the game for twenty years—meaning the brutal blinding of chaffinches for profit. Some extraordinary revelations as to bird and animal torture were made by Mr. S.G. Polhill the R. S. P. C. A solicitor, who has conducted many hundreds of prosecutions for the organization, to an Answers representative. "It is not generally known," remarked Mr. Polhill "but in several parts of London and the provinces today, bird singing contest take place. They are held secretly in public houses, prizes are given, and large sums of money change hands in bets. "An ordinary wild chaffinch is worth twopence or threepence. When it has been blinded or 'put through it—right out,' its value is increased to two shillings. This may not seem much but to the class of men who carry on these brutal practices it is a great deal. "The process requires great nerve, a steady hand, and a stony heart. An ordinary needle—not red-hot as is generally thought—is inserted into the corner of the eye, and this paralyzes the optic nerve. Singularly enough the eyes does not lose any of their brightness and although I have examined a blinded bird under a powerful glass I could not tell it had been interfered with. "The object, of course, is to make the bird oblivious of its surroundings, so that it can devote the whole of its attention to singing. When the birds are not blinded a black cloth is put over the cage. "Inspector Wilmot, who secured the conviction had to master the bird-torturers' vernacular—in which 'blinding' is never mentioned—and pose as a low-down blacguard, dead to all sense of feeling and pity. Had his real identity been discovered the probabilities are that he would have had to make a dash for it." While ignorance is responsible for the object The docking of horses' tails is still race horse, hunter, or hack is docked, "dockers" cut off several inches, severing the tendon, and causing the tail the object. And because it has been contended that the docking of a horse's tail prevents the reins from getting under it and startling the animal, the first conviction for docking has yet to be secured. In order to make live show birds appear younger their crops are removed, and in the case of rabbit coursing the little animals travel tightly packed in crates, a long way. When they are turned out they are so frightened and cramped that against the racing dogs they do not stand the ghost of a sporting chance Pigeon shooting, to, is often cruel, for many of the wounded birds get away and are left to die in agony. Answers. THEY TOOK HIM AT HIS WORD Whites of South Grasped Meaning of President's Policy Quickly. Jack Thorne, the well known writer and story teller, has the following to say about the two great political parties in national and municipal politics Mr. Taft's advice to the southern Negro has been: "Agree with your adversary. Make friends with your neighbors, those of the white race with whom you are in daily contact, and those of the blacks, give you employment." To the southern whites he said, "I will appoint no Negro to office in any community unless said appointment is approved by the white people." How largely the southern Negroes have heeded ††' president's advice to the white people—know that the whites took him at his word, and in some southern states the fily Whites have ousted every Negro officerholder. He who runs may read and know that we have in the Republican party no longer men of the Lincoln, Garrison Hill, Brown, Boecher, and Wilhelm, who championed us, we fear, forever dead. In place of the sympathetic, brave carpetbag Yankee who in the south during the reconstruction period laid down his sword and with the elementary spelling book and the Bible waged war with ignorance and undertook to teach the Negro the value and meaning of true citizenship has sprung up a Lilly White Republican capable of more hostility and meanness toward the Negro. In the south, too, powerless. These are the people who are clamoring loudest and boldest for the elimination of the black man. No man of the Negro race north or south has shown himself to be more wide awake to the situation than Sumner H. Lark, editor of the Brooklyn Eye. Braving the scorn and abuse of his race, Mr. Lark in wise and logical editorials retreated Mr. Taft's advice and undertook to convince his people that it is time to divide their vote. During the recent municipal election Mr. Lark took the same firm stand and supported the Governor to establish a Democratic club in Brooklyn Mr. Lark has endeavored to eschew the army of "a few dollars and a drink" floaters who have made the Negro voter offensive to both parties here in the north and has endeavored to rally to his standard men of character, imbued by the desire to do the things that will bring about that recognition the Negro demands. Whether Mr. Lark is vindicated, whether his services to the party in this municipal election are recognized or no, whatever sore heads or factionists may to the extent that he has recognized the Negro a factor whose power will be recognized by those desiring his support. Summer H. Lark will remain the same unswerving champion of his race. Mail and Female.

Narrow gauge trackage is used only for industrial railways at present.
