(Special to The Broad Ax.) Gloversville, N. Y., Sept. 6, 1910.—Congressman William Sulzer spoke to a large audience in Darling's Theatre here tonight. Mr. Sulzer is a candidate for the nomination of Governor. He is frank and manly and honest about it. He resorts to no subterfuge or concealment. He is appealing to the plain people—to the rank and file—and he believes they are with him, and that if he is nominated he will unite and harmonize the Democratic party and be elected beyond any question. Mr. Sulzer spoke in part as follows: "The Payne-Aldrich law is unjust in its discriminations against the tollers; it is unfair in its impositions on the producers; and it is unconsconable in its tyrannical exactions on consumers of the country. The Democratic party is absolutely opposed to the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. It is an imposition on the people. It is a mockery and a sham. It is legalized robbery. It is the highest protection measure ever placed on our statute books. It increases the taxes on al- "In my opinion the Democrats will carry the State of New York this Fall. I am conservative, but the scandalous revelations at Albany and the high cost of living have put the Republicans in this State on the defensive. "If the Democratic leaders of the State of New York will exercise a little good political judgment, we cannot lose in the coming campaign. The Opportunity is Ours. "Every Democrat in the land now has his face to the rising sun of Democratic opportunity and, imbued with hope, is looking forward to victory. The weak and incompetent administration of State and national affairs by the Republicans supplies us with all the political arguments we want; and if we will present the facts of Republican vacillation, Republican inconsistency and Republican broken promises earnestly and fearlessly to the people I feel confident our cause will be sustained. What the Republican Party Stands For. "The Republican party today stands for tariff taxation that makes living a struggle for existence; for subsidies that rob the many for the few; for economic heresies that paralize industrial freedom; for centralization in government at Washington that destroys the sovereignty of the States; for political usurpations that subvert the Constitution for reckless extravagance that is little less than criminal; for political policies that create monopoly and enslave the masses; for special legislation that tramples under foot the rights of man, and for a restrictive military government in our insular possessions that violates the basic principle of the Declaration of Independence. Not the Party of Lincoln. "The Republican party is not what it used to be; it is no longer the party of Lincoln; it no longer has a message for humanity; it no longer stands for great principles; it no longer has a conscience; it no longer has freedom for an asset; it no longer advocates the policies of its founders; it no longer has a single honest issue it dares to present to the country in the interest of all the people. The Tariff Question. "The tariff issue is a live question. It will not down. The Republicans promised that they would revise the tariff downward; they told us that they would reduce tariff taxes; but the Payne-Aldrich law does not do it. On the contrary it increases taxation and is a revision upward. That act convicts the Republican party of its plutocratic cop partnership with the criminal trusts and the oppressive monopolies and demonstrates the hollowness of Republican promises when it comes to tariff tax reductions on the ```markdown ``` Vol. XV SOUNDS HEW TO THE LINE: LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY necessaries of life in the interest of the plain people of the country. Payne-Aldrich Law Unjust. "The Payne-Aldrich law is unjust in its discriminations against the tollers; it is unfair in its impositions on the producers; and it is unconsonable in its jyrannical exactions on consumers of the country. The Democratic party is absolutely opposed to the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. It is an imposition on the people. It is a mockery and a sham. It is legalized robbery. It is the highest protection measure ever placed on our statute books. It increases the taxes on almost every necessary of life. Mockery of Tariff Law. "For more than ten years the increasing cost of living, mounting higher and higher each succeeding year, has been the most immediate, the most pressing and the most universally observed fact about economic conditions in this country. During all this period, while wages have remained practically the same, and the cost of the necessaries of life have been going higher and higher, and growing more and more oppressive, the promise has been held out by the Republicans that when they got around to tariff revision something would be done to remedy those inequitable conditions. But what was the result? The mockery of the Payne-Aldrich law-making matters worse instead of better. "The people are tired of being humbugged. Ever since 1896 the average man has been gradually losing his hold on the means of physical existence "The Republican party has failed to meet the just expectations of the people, and in the coming campaign is doomed to defeat. It has refused to respond to the earnest demands of the overburdened consumers of the country. It has sneered at the sincere appeals of the taxpayers. It has scorned the patriotic petitions of the tollers. It has legislated for the few and against the many. WASH YOUR HANDS Wash your hands! Wash them often! When we remember that every bit of food we eat is handled by human hands, we can better understand how important it is that hands should be clean. Some dirty hands are clean and some clean hands are dirty and dangerously dirty. This means that some kinds of dirt are harmless and others are not. Most often it is the invisible dirt that is dangerous to both life and health. The farmer's hands may be grimy and dirty from the soil of the farm; the plasterer's hands may be covered with lime and mortar; but in neither case would the dirt be very dangerous. The germs of disease are everywhere. It is believed by sanitarians that unclean hands spread more typhoid than is carried by flies. Thousands of cases of this terrible disease have been traced directly to cooks, cooks' helpers, bakers, dairy people and those who have handled or prepared food with unclean hands,—hands that were polluted with the germs of typhoid. Scientists tell us that if a dozen men and women only dip their hands into a basin of water, upon examina- CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 10, 1910. Member of the Board of Assessors of ential German-American Republican, wishing at the November election. Oscar Hebel, member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County and Republican candidate for re-election to the same position, came into this world at St. Louis, Mo., on the 6th day of January, 1868, and in 1875 he came to Chicago with his parents, who are honest German-Americans to the backbone, and from that time down to the present he has resided on the north side, receiving his education in the public schools of this city, and becoming a full-fledged Chicagoan in every sense of the word. In the course of time, Mr. Hebel, decided to become a Barrister, and with that object in view, he entered the Chicago College of Law, of Lake Forest University, graduating therefrom with high honors in the class of 1891. He also entered and received the degree of L. L. B., in the Post-Graduate class of the following year. And after being admitted to the Bar, he became a member of the law firm of Hebel and Haft, with law offices in the Schiller Building, 113 Randolph street. Taking to politics as naturally as a duck takes to water; in 1895 Mr. Hebel was appointed assistant prosecuting attorney of Chicago by Mayor George B. Swift, and honestly and efficiently serving the people of this great city in that capacity until 1897 at which time he relinguished the duties of that office and moving up in politics in 1901, he was selected as tion, it will be found to be swarming with colon bacillus. And these average hands are those that handle our bread, our meat, our fruit, our pastry, and in fact everything we eat and drink. Many persons continue to be carriers of typhoid for years after they have themselves recovered from the disease. A noted physician tells us of a case where a mother had successively infected thirteen members of her own family with typhoid after her own recovery, and that for 31 years she was still a carrier of the disease. And then he adds, "plain, common sense can do nothing, but trace it through her dirty hands to the food she cooked and served." It has been demonstrated that 78 germs of typhoid placed in fresh milk became 60,000 in 24 hours, 10,300,000 in 48 hours and 480,000,000 in seven days. This shows us how easy it is to infect milk or food of almost any kind with dirty hands. So, too, we can and do poison our own food when we fall to thoroughly wash our hands before each meal. And because this is true, we should wash our hands OFTEN and wash them CLEAN. Cook County. Popular and influ- ho will be re-elected to his present po- one of the election commissioners by county judge Orrin N. Carter, and in the spring of the same year, that is, 1901, he made the race for City Attorney of Chicago, but he was defeated for that office by Andrew J. Ryan. Nevertheless, Mr. Hebel received the highest vote of any of the candidates on the Republican ticket. Still clinging to politics in connection with his large law practice, which go hand in hand; in 1904 he made the race for a member of the Board of Cook County Assessors, and was elected by a great majority, showing that he is extremely popular with all classes of his fellow citizens throughout this city and Cook County, and he is finishing up his term as President of the board. Ever since he became a member of the Board of Assessors; he has steadfastly stood in favor of the small tax-payers. He does not believe that it is right and just to force those who are struggling to acquire little homes to pay the very highest rate for taxes, that their burdens in this respect should be lessened and not increased. On the other hand he fuels it is the duty of the millionaires and the wealthy corporations to pay at least their full or just proportion of taxes; for at all times they receive far more benefits in the way of home comforts and protection from the city and county governments than the poor people. EX-ALDERMAN JOHN H. JONES IS PUTTING UP A STIFF FIGHT As An Independent Republican Candidate For Sheriff of Cook County. Many of the wise politicians freely admit that Ex-Alderman John H. Jones, in his fight on John J. Hammberg, will cut quite a figure at the primaries September 15th, and that his candidacy as an independent Republican candidate for Sheriff of Cook county will cause the boss politicians to sit up and take notice. Alderman Jones has always been friendly to the Colored people, and many of them should be willing to help him out in his fight at this particular time. John E. Owens, Democratic candidate for judge of the county court, will on primary day, September 15, come in under the wire with flying colors, and his friends predict that he will be the winner at the November election. Lawyer James N. Simms Still Stands by Edw. D. Green IN HIS RACE FOR THE LEGISLATURE IN THE FIRST SENATORIAL DISTRICT HE IMPARTS SOME SOUND ADVICE TO THE FOLLOWERS OF FRANK H. HAMILTON. IN RELATION TO ENDEAVORING TO PULL ONE MAN DOWN IN ORDER TO BUILD UP ANOTHER. The political struggles and ambitions of men often times bring strange and uncalled for questions to the front to be considered by the public, and this campaign is no exception. people in the community. for a promotion he should at least discourage his lieutenants from hoping to raise him up by pulling some one else down. They should at least remember that I am not a candidate for any office. A few weeks ago I dared to state openly my views as to the relative merits of the two Colored candidates, Messrs. Edward Green and Frank Hamilton, who are now making the race for the nomination to the legislature at the primaries, which will be held on the 15th of September. I did this because of the fact that I thought my actions had been misinterpreted by the members of the original E H. Wright organization which was organized for the purpose of supporting Mr. Wright during his campaign for Alderman from the 2nd ward. In that campaign I was one of his most loyal supporters and did all in my power to bring about his election, but unfortunately he was defeated. No one regretted the result of that election more than I did. But I have, as many others, refused to work longer with that organization, since the object for which it was organized had failed. I owe them nothing and they owe me nothing more than thanks for my efforts, if that. But when I declined to go further with them and enter upon a reckless and uncalled for campaign, as I stated in a former article, I became the subject of many slanderous attacks and uncalled for statements, by some of the men in that Club who desired to use me to forward their own political game. Not being satisfied with that they have attempted to seal my lips for the rest of this campaign by a bold and malicious threat, which sent to me on Monday, to the effect that if I dared to make one speech for Mr. Edward Green during this campaign, that they would publish the fact that I had once been arrested. I was surprised to learn I had ever been associated with men who in their desperation would seek to destroy a man who had worked with them so ardently as I did in the spring campaign. But fortunately for me, they know nothing of my past life that if told, can do me any harm among intelligent men and women. My past is an open book and I invite them or any one else to look therein and read the contents to the public. Do you think by injuring me you will help your own cause or the candidate you represent? Do you think if you can prove that I am a bad man, that fact alone will lead the voters to believe that your candidate is a capable and worthy man, and the people in this district, ought to elect him to the legislature? I am not a candidate—if you would elect your friend, go tell the people of his merits, tell them of his many qualifications for the office he seeks, tell them how well and faithful he will protect their interest if they will elect him, but don't be foolish enough to believe that by pulling some one down into the mire you will raise him up into the legislature. I intend to make many speeches for Mr. Green and the organization he represents before this campaign closes. Now, if my would-be traducers can get any consolation out of this fact in the midst of their loosing fight, they are welcome to it, and they may continue to speak of it so long as it gives them ease and comfort. We are living in an age wherein men are looking upwards and not downward, wherein men are seeking to rise by helping others up, not by pulling down and destroying their fellow men. The successful candidate in this campaign must win on his merits, and if there are no circumstances in his past life to recommend him to the N. Simms by Edw. D.

They should at least remember that I am not a candidate for any office. The chief argument of these people against Mr. Edward Green is that he did not help and vote for Mr. Wright in his campaign for Alderman, and because he did not (as they say), he is against the interests of the race and therefore we all ought to vote against him. That is the fliestiest argument that I have ever heard sensible men make, and have no reasons at all to support them. This is a free country and every man has the right to vote for whom he pleases. But it seems that they have not yet learned that fact. According to their views, every Colored man that voted against Mr. Wright is opposed to the best interest of his race, and should never in the future receive any consideration at the hands of his fellow citizens and everybody that dares to support such a person or dares to favor him must be sand bagged into silence, well, some men can be intimidated, but I cannot be, not have I any favors to ask of any one. They do not even mean what they say any way, for during the Wright campaign ex-Judge Eldridge Hanecy made one of the strongest speeches ever heard in this city—against electing Mr. Wright, declaring that the time had not come to elect a Colored man to the Council and pointed out all kinds of dire calamities that would befall the Negro race in this city if Mr. Wright was elected. And Mr. Wright spent almost one whole evening in answering that speech, what do we find today? Judge Hanecy, E. H. Wright and Frank Hamilton are working together in this campaign and they are close as three peas in a shell. It is said that politics makes strange bed fellows. It never was more true than in this case. If they are in earnest why do they abuse Mr. Green and court the friendship of the Judge. During the spring campaign we were lead to believe that the Dixons were for Wright and that on election day they would deliver so many hundred votes to him from the east sire of State St. As a matter of fact they did not deliver any votes. But who ever heard of the Dixon's delivering anything to a Colored man unless it was a promise they never kept. Mr. Green's services in the legislature has been bearing abundance of fruit of late. He caused to be placed upon the statute books the antimob and lynch law of this State, which provides that the wife, children or those directly dependent upon the party lynched may be compensated to the extent of five thousand dollars as damages for loss of the services of the person lynched, that the sheriff in the county wherein the lynching took place, shall be removed by the Governor. The sheriff was removed who permitted a lynching to take place in Alexander county, Cairo, Ill., last winter. I only pause to mention this part of Mr. Green's record in the legislature because of the fruits it has borne is of such recent date, and there are many other reasons why Mr. Green should be returned to the legislature, and not deserted at this time, when the Colored people are in such great need of a strong representative. He should be returned to take up the work in the interest of the race where he left off. Mr. Green has been endorsed by the Legislative Voter's League of Cook County, and this endorsement is won upon the record he mad while a member of the legislature, and that record was made in placing laws upon the Statute books (Continued on page 2.)

Eminent Divine From Georgia Will Possibly Be Elected President of National Baptist Convention in New Orleans. Augusta, Ga., Sept. 7.—When the announcement was made several months ago that Dr. Charles T. Walker, of this city, was a candidate for the presidency of the National Baptist Convention, a commotion was created and it was at once whispered around the entire United States among the leaders that his election would be a certainly. This argument is more fully substantiated by several facts which, when looked at properly, mean his unanimous election. He is one of the most eloquent speakers and forceful debaters in the United States, and halls from a state that is overwhelmingly Baptist. He is the people's ideal and has the ability to organize. He knows what the people want and must have. The strongest thing in favor of his unanimous election is the fact that Dr. Morris, who has served for more than sixteen years as president of the Convention, has said emphatically that under no conditions would he accept the presidency if there were another candidate for the position, that it would have to be by acclamation or not at all.

My interest and hope for his success at the coming primaries, however, is not solely due to the efforts he made in the Legislature to I desire through the columns of your valuable paper to give expression to my views anent the candidacy of Samuel A. Ettelson for State Senator from the 3rd District. As Colonel of the Eighth Infantry Illinois National Guard, I believe that the sentiment of this organization is voiced to a man when I say that no member of either the upper or lower branch of the last General Assembly interested himself to a larger degree in an effort to procure an appropriation for the erection of an armory for the regiment than Senator Ettelson. True the efforts were in vain, but they were nevertheless made, and made with an enthusiastic vigor born only of a sincere interest in this organization and the race of people comprising it. He introduced the bill in the Senate, and caused its introduction in the House providing for the appropriation. This done he labored from day to day, not only with the Senate Committee on Appropriations, but with the same committee of the House as well to secure a favorable report. I watched carefully the progress of the matter during the entire session of the legislature, and personally know that had it not been for dissensions among some of the commanders of the National Guard as to priority of consideration in providing for regimental homes, the efforts of Senator Ettelson on our behalf would have crystallized into the desired result. I make no empty statement when I say, that the prospect of this regiment being given the necessary appropriation at the next General Assembly for the building of a substantial and permanent home, largely depends upon having in the State Senate a genuine and unswervy he is a candidate for the presidency and has asked him for his support. and has asked him for the subject. The delegates from Georgia are enthusiastic for Dr. Walker. It is said that when the name of Dr. C. T.

JACK JOHNSON'S SISTER MARRIES. Miss Lucy Johnson, sister of Jack Johnson of the prize ring, was married in this city last Wednesday night at the home of her brother, $444 Wash avenue, to Mr. Otto Bowlden of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, a professional ball player of the Oklahoma City club. It was announced that Champion Johnson gave a check of $3,000 to his sister in honor of the occasion. It was thought at one time that Col. R. S.

My interest and hope for his success at the coming primaries, however, is not solely due to the efforts he made in the Legislature to procure the appropriation above referred to; other and just as important reasons impel this endorsement. As a member of the Negro race devoted to all causes making for the advancement and uplift of this people, I cannot forget the splendid services rendered with strict impartiality to his Negro constituents as member of the County Central Committee. Every Negro living in the Third Ward old enough to exercise the right of suffrage needs no reminder to recall the liberal, and therefore unprecedented share of patronage accorded the Negro constituency during his incumbency as Committeemen from the Third Ward. Never before or since were this people so handsomely rewarded in the matter of recognition in public places as given by Committeeman Ettelson. In every office in Cook County and several in the state were placed worthy Negro citizens who had fronted the fray of political battles during those stirring days when "Sammy" Ettelson was the leader of the ward. The time has now come for the Negro citizens of this District, and particularly in the Third Ward, where they to such a large extent reside, ro show this worthy young man that they appreciate the great good which came to them through his unselfish acts in the past; that they will "pin their faith" to a man of his type, believing in the doctrine that "the hope of the future is measured by the conduct in the past." Let us therefore, as brethren in black, rally to the standard of Samuel A. Ettelson and by united strength linked with his legion of white friends, nominate him on Sept. 15th by a majority so large that none will doubt the warmth and enthusiasm in which he is held by the constituency of the Third Senatorial District. Pratt, Kans., Sept. 9.—A race war is imminent here because eGorge Williams, a weakly young Negro, has purchased of Joseph Leese, in the government mall service, a residence in the most exclusive section of the town. Three hundred armed men, led by R. S. Crick, an attorney, went to the home of Leese at midnight and ordered him to leave town at once. Then the mob proceeded to the home of the Negro, who met the leader at the door with a revolver. He was given until today to leave, the spokesman telling him that he would not be alive if the injunction is not heeded. Williams intimated that he would resist. The white citizens are doubly incensed over the fact that Williams is paying court to a young white widow residing here. The excitement is intense today, both the whites and the Negroes gathering about the stress. (Concluded from page 1) in the interest of his people. Now is it possible that there are those among us who are debating the question as to whether we ought to endorse him, and accordingly return him to the legislature, as against an untried and in-experienced man.

"We commend him for his aggressive, loyal and unswerving support of all legislation for the promotion of Civic righeousness and assure him that his distinguished services in it is regard has won for him a high place in the estimation of all loving people, we especially commend him for introducing the Anti-Mob Law and for his lifetime support which contributed so much to placing its wise and just provisions upon our statue books. By that service he has caused the State of Illinois to take a leading place among those States of the Union which guarantee to every man accused of crime, a fair and impartial trial. "Thereby preserving our State from the infancy of lynch laws, commending him for his unselfish, intelligent and valuable public service, we present him with our earnest wishes for his future welfare. 'This Testimonial of our high regard for him was adopted and presented to him at Olivet Baptist Church, September 28, 1905 If the soreheads residing in the Second Ward will read the above article they can readily see where Edward D. Green stands in the estimation of the best Colored people in Chicago. spend two weeks and attend the meeting of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and the Household of Ruth.

Deputy Coroner Michael G. Walsh will without question win the Republican nomination for Congressman in the Fourth Congressional district September 15, and it looks as though State Senator Edward J.

Jesse Binga, the banker, State street and 36th place, is kicking up some dust in his race for county commissioner, and all his friends, both white and Colored, will record their votes in favor of his candidacy at the primaries September 15th.

In 1899 seven clubs—six in Chicago and one in Evanston took upon themselves the task of entertaining the National Association of Colored Women at Chicago in August of that year. That meeting has gone down in history as an eye opener to many who doubted the power of organized effort among women in general and our women in particular. Most of us have copies of the press comments compiled by Mrs. M. C. Lennell, President at that time in which most favorable reports were published by the leading newspapers of this city. Since that meeting those seven clubs have grown to fifty with a membership of one thousand and ninety-four women scattered throughout the length and breadth of this grand old Prairie State. Each annual meeting has grown more and more interesting. The one held at Peoria last month surpassed all preceding ones in many respects. 85 delegates and 11 officers answered to the roll call and reported how loyal they had been to the women and what justice they had dealt to children. Judge Clemmons, Mrs. Fritz, Mrs. Joanna C. Snowden and other distinguished citizens of Peoria spoke of the value of the work done by the Juvenile Court. Mrs. Clara Bourland, who has been the honored president of the Peoria, Woman's Club for the last twenty years gave an exhaustive address on the growth of the Woman's Club Movement in this country. The mayor presented the keys of the city to the Federation and bid its members enter the gates and feel welcome as all they found therein. Mrs. Joanna C. Snowden, Mrs. Fannie Emanuel, Mrs. D. T. Casey and others spoke of the work being done by the Juvenile Protective Leagues, Social Settlements, Social Improvement, benefits of organized effort, etc. The mothers chain in which 33 mothers took an active part, and the children's hour, two of the most interesting features of the best Convention Illinois has yet held. The absence of the hard-working chairman of Ways and Means on account of illness—Mrs. Mazy Mallory, of Jacksonville, was deplored by all present. Her place was ably filled by Mrs. Genevieve Coleman, President of the Cornell Charity Club, Chicago. At the close of the meeting it was found that two hundred and sixty six dollars and ninety-nine cents had been placed in the treasury, after paying all expenses, one hundred and --- two dollars and a few cents were turned over to the new treasurer. The Federation has pledged its support as far as it is able to the following six institutions: the Cairo hospital, the Lincoln Old Folks and Orphan's Home at Springfield, the Amanda Smith Orphan Home at Harvey, the Home for Aged and Injured Colored People, Chicago, the H. E. Stewart Day Nursery at the Institutional Church, Chicago, and the Phyllis Wheatley Home for Girls, Chicago. Each of these worthy institutions received five dollars this year. The Federation was royally entertained free of charge by the Peoria Woman's Aid Club, consisting of fifty members. This club is purchasing property in a valuable section of the city to be used for lodge meetings and club rooms. The sessions were held in Ward Chapel which has been remodeled and beautifully decorated under the administration of Rev. Jamieson. Peoria's talented young people render a splendid program on Thursday night followed by a brilliant reception to the delegates and visitors. The election of the officers was so harmonious and speedily done as to be positively tame. Mrs. Joanna C. Snowdens nomination speech for Mrs. Elizabeth L. Davis, was a masterpiece of oratorical eloquence. The next meeting will be held in Monmouth. August, 1911. SEND IN YOUR SOCIETY AND OTHER NEWS ITEMS.

The successful operation of large financial concerns by Afro-Americans should dispel the oft repeated saying that the race has failed to demonstrate its ability in business ventures of a strictly financial character. The National Negro Bankers' association is an evidence of the fact that the race is advancing in the higher realms of finance. In 1900 there were not more than three real bona fide banking institutions under Negro management. At the present time there are fifty-seven. These fifty-seven banks have a paid up capital of over a million dollars. Their clearings for the past fiscal year were about twenty millions. Among the older banking institutions may be mentioned the True Reformer's [Name] CHARLES BANK. Savings bank, Richmond, Va., Rev. W. L. Taylor president; the Penny Savings bank, Birmingham, Ala., Rev. Dr. W. R. Pettiford president, and the Savings bank at Mound Bayou, Misa., of which Mr. Charles Banks is president. The latter town, as is generally well known, is inhabited solely by Afro-Americans and was founded many years ago by Isaiah T. Montgomery, of the fifty-seven banks forty belong to the National Negro Bankers' association. The other seventeen will soon join, as the spirit of union along all lines of business among our people is rife. In a recent interview with the president of the Penny Savings bank of Birmingham, Ala., he said that the greatest problem of the banking institutions conducted by the race was to educate our people to know the purpose and appreciate the value of these financial institutions. Many enterprising negroes fall, he said, because they are unable to borrow enough capital to carry them through their business. They pay half of the money in cash when they buy a house, for instance, and then they lose it because they can't raise the remainder before the notes run out. If the capital of some of the wealthy Negroes were concentrated in banks this would not happen. George I. Martin, maker of fine cigars and news stand, 18 W. 31st street, near State.

The most dramatic incident of the gunfiring trials of the new Brazilian battleships Minas, Geraes and Sao Paulo, was the firing of an entire broadside simultaneously, making a terrific discharge. the heaviest broadside ever fired and an event unparalleled in the history of ballistics. The five turrets of the ship were all trained on the port beam, all the ten guns being given an elevation of seven degrees and loaded with a full charge of 285 pounds of cordite. The ten twelve-inch guns, monster weapons fifty feet long, each discharged a shell of 850 pounds weight, making a total of 8,500 pounds "weight of metal." At the same time were fired the eleven 4.7 guns mounted on the Sao Paulo broadside, each sending off a projectile weighing forty-five pounds and adding 495 pounds to the discharge, making up a total broadside fire amounting to 8,995 pounds—a record discharge of destructive projectiles. These vessels mount as light guns in addition six three-pounders on each broadside, which fired in action would bring up the total possible, weight, 90 metal fired from the ship to 9,013 pounds. The most notable feature of the Minas Geres is her imperious turrets. The wings of the navigating bridge are removed for action, the boats discarded and davits swung back out of the way while the guns are being fired.—London Illustrated News. Phone Alo Hotel Br Geo. W.

The great planet's health is always unreliable that he is heavily insured both for "life" and against loss of business. His hand alone has been "covered" for as much as £10,000. A good deal of Paderewsk's ill health is due to the state of his nerves, for he is an intensely emotional man. Some times ago he said that the secret of music is emotion.

An attack of spotted fever five years ago caused him to lose a three months' tour in America at a fabulous salary. This was followed by a railway accident, necessitating two operations. One of Paderewski's minor worries is the persistent autograph hunter, who gets terribly on his nerves. George Grossmith once came to his relief when he was being pestered by the signature seckers. Grossmith ruffed his hair to make it like the musician's picturesque mane and rushed wildly into the hall of the hotel, screaming, "I can sign no more; I will sign no more." Next day everybody was talking of the sad case of poor Paderewski, whose mind was becoming quite unhinged.—London M. A. P. AN OLD SONG REJUVENATED. I cannot wear the old hair.

The National Independent Political league at its recent annual meeting in Atlantic City, N. J., adopted a new constitution by the terms of which local leagues are to be organized in every state. The committee on resolutions, of which William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, was chairman, concluded its report, as follows: "It is time, therefore, for an independent movement in politics. "We should refuse alliance with either of the two dominant parties at present and confine our attention to men.

"National aid to education with the same opportunities to all children. "National legislation against lynch- ing and mob law. "The restoration of the discharged Brownsville soldiers. "To candidates of any party who pledge themselves to these measures we pledge our own votes and the votes of all black men whom we can persuade to stand on their manhood and vote like freemen." Governors Harmon of Ohio and Deneen of Illinois were commended for their course against lynching; harmony among the race rights organizations was urged and a hearing for Rev. Harvey Johnson on his Texas purchase plan urged. A committee of seven was appointed on the fifthth anniversary of emancipation to confer with other bodies. The executive committee is composed of members representing forty states. The next annual meeting of the league will be held in Boston.
