Attorney William G. Andero n Starts on the Warpath After Captain George Wellington Streeter. The Famous Habeas Corpus Lawyer Will On October 18,1910 Sell at Sheriffs Sale at the East Door of the County Building, Streeterville or the District of Lake Michigan for $90,000,000. To Satisty His Judgement of $10,000 Which is Coming to Him For Securing the Release of the Captain From the Penitentiary at Joliet, Illinois. Vol. XVI Attorney William Starts on the Captain Geo Streeter. The Famous Habeas Corpus Is Sell at Sheriffs Sale at the East Streeterville or the D for $90 To Satisfy His Judgement of $ For Securing the Release Penitentiary a It will be recalled that five or six years ago Captain George Wellington Streeter, the founder of Streeterville, and the owner of the District of Lake Michigan, was convicted in the criminal court of Cook county, for killing John S. Kirk who was at that time, assisting Henry S. Cooper, and others to prevent the Captain and his followers from taking possession of the property which the Captain claimed belonged to him, and in due time he was sent down to the penitentiary at Joliet, Illinois, to do time for murdering a human being. After spending more than one year in the pen and after some able white lawyers had been unsuccessful in their efforts of having him released from it, and after with tears in his eyes and rolling down his hardened cheeks, and with many promises of paying him well for his legal services, he appealed to Attorney William G. Anderson, to secure his liberty. That if he was successful in doing so, he would pay him ten thousand dollars for his time, legal ability and hard work in that respect. Shortly after Attorney Anderson had buckled on his fighting harness, and had put his shoulder to the legal wheel as it were, he was successful in putting Captain Streeter on the streets a free man. But like the majority of dishonest men, his promises did not amount to anything. After he was released from behind the prison bars, and after Attorney Anderson had failed in his attempt to collect any part of his fee from Captain Streeter, he brought a suit against him in the Superior court of Cook County, and in January, 1906, he obtained a judgment against him before Judge Chytraus, for $10,000, and now Attorney Anderson has started on the war path in dead earnest to collect the money honestly coming to him from Captain Streeter. On Tuesday morning at 10 oclock, October 18, 1910, at the east door of the County Building, Sheriff Christopher Strasshelm will sell at public sale all of Captain Streeter's rights, title and interest in the land comprising Streeterville, or the district of Lake Michigan. His interest which is described as follows in the legal notice of the sale will be sold to the highest bidder. Sheriff's Sale—By virtue of a certain fourth pluries writ of execution issued from the Superior court of Cook County, Illinois, in favor of W. G. Anderson, plaintiff, and against George Wellington Streeter, defendant, I shall, at 10 o'clock A. M. on the 18th day of October, A. D., 1910, at the east entrance on Clark street of Clark County courthouse, in the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and state of Illinois, offer for sale, at public vendue all the right, title and interest of said defendant in and to the following described tracts of lots or parcels of lands, to-wit: That part of sections 3 and 10, T. 39 N., R. 14, east of third P. M., lying east of the meander line of 1821, lying between Oak street on the north and Chicago river on the south, lying east of the fractional sections 3 and 10, 39-14, also known as that part of section 3 and 10, T. 39, range 14, lying east of Pine street and between Sheridan drive on north and Chicago river on south, and blocks 1 to 32 in HEW $ TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY clusive in plat of District of Lake Michigan, otherwise known as the "District of Lake Michigan." Dated Chicago, September 22, A. D. 1910. Christopher Strasshelm, Sheriff. By Charles W. Peters, Deputy. It is strongly intimated that Attorney Anderson will have some of his wealthy white friends present on the day of the sale; and that they will take a chance on buying in Streeterville or the District of Lake Michigan, and that before the fight is ended the Farwells, the Fairbanks, McCormicks, the Palmers and other millionaires residing in that section of the Lake Shore drive will be involved in it; that some of their property will fall into the hands of Attorney Anderson and become the homes of Colored people. The proceedings along these lines are looked forward to with much interest. For Attorney Anderson and his wealthy white friends have got their fighting clothes on, and it is hard to tell what is liable to happen. Aside form the Streeter Habeas Corpus case, Attorney Anderson, who is widely known as the famous Habeas Corpus lawyer, successfully conducted the Habeas Corpus cases for banker Charles W. Spalding, banker William A. Paulsen and for hundreds of others of greater or lesser note including the recent case of Stephen Green, and as a legal fighter along these lines he cannot be surpassed by any lawyer black or white, residing in the middle West. THE COLORED PRESS ON JOHN E. MILHOLLAND'S REJOINDER TO BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Many of the leading Colored newspapers throughout the country published last week John. E. Milholland's rejoinder to Booker T. Washington, which their editors copied from The Broad Ax and of all the papers that published it only one paper attempted to take Mr. Milholland to task for calling on Booker T. to publish the names of the Colored men aside from himself who are permitted to ride in first-class cars in the South, and the paper attempting to find fault with Mr. Milholland for manfully standing up for the civil and political rights of the Negro, is published in Indianapolis, Ind., and we might say that it is a nameless publication for no one appears to be its editor. In its railings against Mr. Milholland in what it calls "A Defense of Booker T. Washington" it falls to state that although Mr. Washington may dine with the King of Sweden and his family nevertheless he is forced to ride in "Jim Crow cars" from Montgomery, Ala., to Tuskegee, Ala., a distance of forty miles. And after tamely permitting himself to be humiliated in this manner he has the nerve to stand up and proclaim himself the greatest Negro in the world.

"A white man succeeds a Negro as Collector of Internal Revenue for Georgia. In making this appointment the president follows the policy announced by him early in March, 1909, when he said that Negroes would not be named for offices against the wishes of the whites. In every southern state Colored men are thus barred as completely as though citizenship had never been conferred upon them. "So far as we have observed, there has been no departure from this line of conduct. One of Mr. Taft's first acts was the selection of a white man for collector at Charleston, S. C., a position long held precariously by Dr. Crum, Colored, May 17, 1909, the president gave the postoffice department a cue, which it was not slow to accept, by directing the appointment of a white postmaster at Darien, Ga., a town in which the blacks predominate. On June 26, 1909, it was stated at Galveston that more than one hundred Colored deputy marshals, collectors and inspectors had been removed since March 4. On July 8, 1909, it was officially announced at Washington that no Negroes would be named as census enumerators. Two days later a Negro employee of the Weather Bureau was recalled from Mobile, Ala., on the protest of white men. "In various speeches, the president has discouraged higher education for Negroes. At Howard University, May 26, 1909, he said: "The best friends of the Negro are the whites who want them to have an industrial education." In a speech before the North Carolina Society in December 1908, he advocated restriction of the suffrage in the south applied with exact equality and justice to the two races,' but for the purpose chiefly of eliminating the black vote, "As subordinates usually act with much zeal on such examples and hints as these, it is to be presumed that by this time very few Negroes are in the public service at the South and that even they are doomed. "Without discussing the merits of this question, it must be admitted that the president has effected practically on his own motion a complete revolution in the policy of his party relating to the blacks. He has reversed every Republican platform for 40 years. He has ignored the spirit at least of much Republican legislation. The fact is utterly first because of its strange ness; secondly because of the boldness with which it has been accomplished, and thirdly, because, if it is a bid for white support at the south, it can hardly fail to cost Republicans at the north more than they can hope to gain anywhere else. "In many northern states the Colored vote might easily put it out of the power of Republicans to elect presidents at all. Ohio in particular is so situated. That the local politicians recognize the value of the Colored contingent is shown by the platform adopted on July 27 last by the Republican state convention, in which there was the usual demand for the strict enforcement of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, with the familiar phrase about equal rights and opportunities. "There is no uncertainty in these matters except upon one point. We know that so far as resolutions are concerned the great Republican heart is still true to the Colored man. We know that all Negroes look alike to the Republicans president and that he will have none of them. We are in doubt only as to the ticket that the northern black man will vote in November, especially in Ohio."—New York World. SAVE YOUR EYES. To lose your eyesight would be a terrible misfortune. For one to be compelled to go through life in darkness is an affliction almost unbearable. And yet the average person is both careless and ignorant in the important matter of the eyes. A few generations ago, schools, especially in the small towns and the country, were in session only three to four months of the year. Now, the children of the land are in school six to ten months each year. This means a largely increased strain on their eyes. Last year, 1909, the Department of Health examined 123,897 school children for the many minor defects that children are afflicted with. The Department inspectors found that 21,824 school children had defective eye sight or impaired vision. Many Prominent Business Men Are Coming to the Front To Aid In Helping to Elect the Democratic County Ticket. Chairman John McCarthy Feels that He Can Scent Victory in the Air. Carter H. Harrison and the Other Candidates For Mayor of Chicago Will Keep Their Booms Bottled Up Until After the Fall Election. Not for many years have there been as many prominent business men, joined hands to aid in helping to elect the Democratic county ticket, as at the present time, under the leadership of Chairman, John McCarthy, who feels that he can scent victory in the air and who is leaving no stone unturned, in order to completely canvass the city and to get the voters out to register either to-day or on October 18, for no one in this city or Cook County can vote at the coming election unless their name is on the registration books. The following are some of the many prominent business men, who have been formed into a committee, for the purpose of assisting County Chairman, John McCarthy to put one over on the "Big Five" and the Republican county ticket. John W. Eckhart, the successful wholesale flour merchant, heads the list as the chairman: Lamber Tree, Harry Rubens, W. A. Tilden, William C. Niback, Charles H. Wacker, Marshall N. Kirkman, Andrew J.

The headaches may be and often are due to bad air; but just as often are due to eye strain caused by bad light or defective vision. If the latter, the occulist should be consulted at once. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY NOTES. A very interesting meeting was held at the home, 3530 Forest Ave., Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 5. Members who have been away are slowly returning and filling their places on the various boards. We were delighted to see the pleasant sime of Mrs. Wallace of 3024 Vernon Ave., once more. With that smile came a two dollar bill to help the art section and house committee on the house cleaning movement. The home looks very cosy and clean and we hope soon to have our beds put into first class condition. Our new matron, Mrs. Hightower is taking a great interest in everything, even to the cutting down of the expenses, which is a very good point in her favor. Mrs. Lambert as chairman of the house committee is doing splendid work and seems very much encouraged with the support she is receiving from the members, this being her first experience along that line. She is an earnest worker. We welcome Miss Georgiana Whyte, chairman of the literature section, back in our midst after her pleasant trip in the East. Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 19, is regular meeting day. We hope to see the smiling faces of all our members. Much business of importance.

MOB BENT ON A LYNCHING KILLS Montgeomery, Ala., Octt. 7.—Sitting upright in his hack, but dead from a bullet wound in his heart, John Dell, a Negro hackman of this city, was discovered at 5 o'clock this morning. His death at the hands of the mob which last night surrounded the county jail and police headquarters is the only tangible sign of the fury of the white men who paraded the streets in thirst for blood. The mob, made up of 100 men, divided into four parties at 1 o'clock this morning and made a rush for the county jail from four directions, with a view to overpowering the jailer and taking John Adams, the Negro, who killed Patrolman W. T. Berry yesterday, and lynching him. Sheriff Hood, with seven deputies armed with shotguns, turned them back. A call for all the police in town to hurry to the jail was sent out and they gathered there. The mob has dispersed, as the sheriff told it he would kill the first man that approached the jail. Sheriff Hood deserves a golden medal, for displaying so much bravery, and if all Sheriffs and other officers followed suit it would be the end of mob and lynch law.

NO HELL OR FUTURE LIFE The "white slave traffic" and "social evil" are the natural and logical result of the praise and worship of a God created by men of such morality that they gave him a son without requiring him to marry its mother, and help to support her and it. All people are prone to follow the example of their ideal characters and though the characters be purely fictitious, they have the same effect on their characters as if they were realities. This accounts for people who admire and worship an immoral God being themselves the most immoral in their sex relations. One seldom reads a newspaper without seeing accounts of idolaters following the example of their ideal God in immorality. To teach people that a God is a perfect example of goodness to be imitated by men who wish to do right, and that this God did not marry and support the mother of his child, is the most effective way of teaching that free love and promiscuity is right. Idolaters reason that it could not be wrong for man to do what a perfectly just and moral God does. The inhabitants and patrons of the "red light" sections of cities, and the "bad lands" of smaller towns are supristitious idolaters who never doubt the existence of a hell and a future life, and the reality of God—W.

A "Sure Thing" Post Poets as a rule are not good business men, but an exception is one of a little group of young writers and artists who dine every evening together and talk shop. The poet very often reads the verses he has composed, and sometimes the comments are not exactly flattering. "That's rotten!" exclaimed an artist on hearing one of these effusions recently. "I'll bet you $5 I can sell it to a magazine," replied the poet. The wager was made, and the artist lost. Since that the poet has made several similar bets with his scoffing friends and has won them all. He was chuckling over it to an outsider the other day. "You must have wonderful confidence in the merit of your work." said the rank outsider. "Confidence nothing," laughed the poet. "I couldn't lose. I never read a poem to those fellows until I have first sold it." - New York Sun. Caring For Eyeglasses. Most people seem to think that glasses will stand any sort of treatment, and yank and pull at them until they go to the repair shop with alarming frequency. Glasses should never be taken off with one hand; an optician advises that they be carefully grasped by the rims of the lenses on both sides and removed by pushing upward. Pulling at one side of spectacles bends the frame; with noseglasses it loosens the screw, and the lens shakes continually. Sometimes this happens in spite of care, and then it is well to purchase one of the tiny screwdrivers used by opticians and tighten them whenever necessary. Clean your glasses with some soft material—a common piece of tissue paper is better than any medium yet invented—and occasionally give them a bath in warm water into which a little ammonia has been dropped. Elizabeth's Keform. Queen Elizabeth in the last year of her reign was much concerned as to the expenses of the royal household. According to a document in the public record office, she ordered a comparison to be made between the expenditure incurred in the third and the forty-third years of her reign, when 'yt was found that in bread, beare, wyne, wood, coils, wax lights, torches, tallow lights and meets and other allowances of incidents, necessaries, carriages and wages £12,000 ($0,000) per annum at least more was spent and no sufficient warrant for the increase.

KNOX SOUNDS WARNING Time For Negro Voters to Break Camp, He Says. Under the caption "Put Thought Into It" Editor E. C. Knox of the Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman says: "The Negro voters for years have shown a devotion to the one party—Republican—which for faithfulness is really pathetic. As long as old conditions maintained, when all the good came through one party, as it was thought, to community, to country, to race, these voters were doing the proper thing, since it should be the purpose to bring about the best possible condition to all. "But parties change, as men change, as the fashions change. The good thing of yesterday is a bad thing for today. Politics is as variable as the waters. "If clinging blindly to the past means present perturbment, then it is the plain duty to swing out into the clear, get a better bearing on things, Pick and choose your change and then anchor alongside. "We hold that something of the thing hoped for will be gained if the Negro voters break camp, scatter as the necessity calls, into such parties and groups as answer their political views, such views being influenced by the happenings and circumstances that change other men. "This is the political intelligence that must be exerted in order to avoid the grooves where men stagnate and be coy. Neither party at this day wishes the blind allegiance of a class based on services tendered in a past that is no part of the present." CAPABLE MAN ON THE JOB R. L. Powell, Who Has Mastered Art of Manufacturing Ice Cream. Manifestations of the fact that our people are succeeding along most all lines of business and in the professions are almost daily occurrences. The manufacturing of ice cream, however, is a field to which the race has not given much serious thought from a business standpoint. True, there are among us a number of capable men who have made good as caterers or confectioners, but the fine art of the business as a money making venture, we fear, has only been lightly entered into. One of the best qualified men in the art of manufacturing this toothsome product of whom we know in Greater New York is Robert Lincoln Powell. Mr. Powell has held the position of foreman in the manufacturing department of the Reid Ice Cream company at its summer plant in Asbury Park, N. J., for a number of years and has given entire satisfaction In the winter season Mr. Powell is employed by another concern in Brooklyn. He knows the business in all of its complex parts and is thoroughly reliable. It might be the key to his future success if he would go into the business for himself. DR. WASHINGTON LIKES BERT WILLIAMS' WORK. DR. WASHINGTON LIKES BERT WILLIAMS' WORK. Saya Comedian is a Tremendous Asset to the Negro Race. When I go to the theater, which is not often, I generally go to hear the colored comedian Bert Williams, says Dr. Booker T. Washington in the September American Magazine. I go to hear him, however, as often as I have opportunity, and I am seldom in the same city with him that I do not find myself, if I happen to have an hour of leisure, drifting in the direction of the theater in which he is playing. If I were a dramatic critic I suppose I might give some sound logical reasons for liking Bert Williams' style and methods. But I am not a critic, and vaudeville performances, as a rule, strike me as tiresome. There is so much that seems to me strained and artificial and lacking in the flavor of ordinary wholesome human nature. But Bert Williams' humor strikes me as the real thing. There is nothing secondhand or second rate about it. His fun seems to flow spontaneously and without effort, as if it came from some deep natural source in the man himself. Besides, there are a quality and a flavor about Bert Williams' humor which indicate that it is the natural expression of a thoughtful and observing mind. Bert Williams is a tremendous asset of the Negro race. He is an asset because he has succeeded in actually doing something, and because he has succeeded the fact of his success helps the Negro many times more than he could help the Negro by merely contenting himself to whine and complain about racial difficulties and racial discriminations. The fact is that the American people are ready to honor and to reward any man who does something that is worth while, no matter whether he is black or white, and Bert Williams' career is simply another illustration of that fact. The Question of Human Rights Speaking to a large audience of Afro-Americans in Brooklyn recently on the question of human rights, Charles Lenz, Ph.D., president of the Original Rights Society of America, said: "White nor black can compromise on the question of human rights. The south hates the north as much as it hates the Negro. It is the arch enemy of democracy. "The civil war was not carried to its logical conclusion, but it is too late now to correct the mistake. There is trouble ahead for the nation, for this question must be finally settled right." He will bury cheaper than the trust [Name] GEO. O.

DOING REAL SAMARITAN WORK Organized Primarily For the Purpose of Getting Rid of the Difficulties Which Confront the Negro In Secret Societies Where Both Races Work Under the Same Ritual and Charter. Perhaps no member of the Beneficent and Philanthropic Order of Roebucks of America is doing more toward making known the true merits and benefits of the organization than Supreme Deputy J. G. Carroll of Winfield, La. Being imbued with the spirit of the order, believing in its principles and purposes and knowing the benefits to be derived by being a member, Mr. Carroll has gone out in earnest to build it up in influence and membership. In this he is succeeding admirably. He expects to institute local lodges throughout the south as rapidly as possible. No secret order of the Negro race offers better opportunities or advantages for self help than the Order of Roebucks. The founder of the order was a man of wide knowledge and experience in the work of secret and fraternal societies. Being aware of the difficulties which confront our people from time to time in organizations where both races work under the same ritual and charter was the primary cause for bringing into existence an original Negro organization of national score. The object of the Order of Roebucks is not only for caring for its members in the time of illness by giving financial aid and personal attention, but to encourage the race in business, education and along all lines of industrial pursuit. The order also encourages the support of such agencies for racial uplift as orphanages, settlement and neighborhood work. In addressing a large audience of persons recently at Winfield Mr. Carroll told them that the Order of Roebucks is doing real Samaritan work. While priests and Levites with philanthropical pride pass by on the other side, said he, leaving the wounded, helpless widows and orphans to suffer, we stoop down, pick them up, bind up their wounds, relieve their suffering, put them in our organization, make them welcome and re-establish their going. The order takes members, both male and female, in ages ranging from eighteen to fifty-five. Our race is advancing in business and in the higher branches of learning. We are sensible, however, of the fact that in order to make our citizenship more respected and our influence felt for good we must deal fairly and squarely by all persons with whom we have any dealing. Our motto, "Once a Boebuck always a Boebuck," runs like a silver lining throughout the organization, giving D. JONES. other who conducts, one of the most moments in Chicago. As a result honest funeral direction. It furnishes automobile funerals for carriages, can save you from Fifty funeral.

Fleming Elected to State Executive Committee. At the meeting of the Republican state central committee held in Columbus, O, the week ending Aug. 27 City Councilman Thomas W. Fleming-of Cleveland was elected a member of the Republican state executive committee, which will conduct the campaign this fall. This is Mr. Fleming's third term as a member of the committee, he having succeeded George A. Myers on the committee in 1906. Mr. Fleming is the leading colored politician in Ohio and last fall was elected to the city council of Cleveland, being the first colored man to be so honored. Forty-two members constitute the committee. The other colored members are H. T. Eubanks of Lakewood, O.; Charles R. Doll, Chillicothe, O., and William Copeland, Cincinnati. The Ohio campaign will open Spet. 17, and signs point to the election of Warren G. Harding as governor and the entire Republican ticket in November. Association of Graduate Nurses Association of Graduate Nurses. The fourth annual meeting of the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses will be held in Washington in August, 1911. The newly elected officers for the ensuing year are: Mrs. Mary A. Tucker, president of the Philadelphia Graduate Nurses' association, national president; first vice president, Miss Mary R. Clark, Richmond, Va.; second vice president, Miss V. T. McKnight, Mercy hospital, Philadelphia; recording secretary, Miss C. A. Rhone, North Carolina; corresponding secretary, Mrs. E. B. Watkins, New York; treasurer, Miss Adah B. Samuels, New York. Promotion For Elme M. Anderson. The promotion of Elmo M. Anderson of the census bureau in Washington to a more lucrative position in that department is encouraging. An increase in salary comes with his rise in position and, of course, greater responsibility. A BACTERIAL DUEL Remarkable Combat Between Two Microscopic Enemies. In an interesting contribution to the Comptes Rendus of the Biological society of Paris M. G. Rosenthal gives an account of the remarkable antagonism between the Bulgarian sour milk bacillus and the bacillus of diphtheria. If the two were planted together on milk serum it was found that they could both be recovered by subcultivation up to the end of the fourth day. After that it was found that only the Bulgarian bacillus survived, having apparently exterminated the other. Again, if the diphtheria bacillus was planted on a culture of the Bulgarian it failed to obtain a footing. On the other hand, if the Bulgarian bacillus was planted on a culture of diphtheria bacillus the latter disappeared in the course of a week. It is surely to be hoped that this remarkable power of the Bulgarian bacillus will in the future prove a valuable aid in the treatment of diphtheria. It was also found that the diphtheria bacillus would grow easily upon dead cultures of the lactic acid bacillus and also upon living cultures of the same if the acidity were carefully neutralized. $5.00 FREE EXCURSION to Mt.

There is nothing in sugar, in alcohol, but carbon, gathered from the air, but hydrogen and oxygen gathered from the rainwater, transformed by the sun into beet plants, grown in fields, tilled and welded by hand, the beet pulp being transformed by other hands and skilled knowledge into sugar and alcohol. Denmark and Holland export butter which takes nothing from the soil. The French import Aslatic silk, weave it at Lyons and export the finished product. They export wine by analysis 87 per cent water, 10 per cent alcohol and 0.04 per cent aroma and bouquet. Water and alcohol take nothing from the soil, but the aroma makes the wine worth from $10 a pound down. In the peace negotiations between Bismarck and the French in 1871 it was not the money indemnity, it was not the loss of territory, that prolonged negotiations. Bismarck behought himself to demand 5,000 empty old champagne barrels, impregnated with the aroma, the bouquet producing ferment, and this the French refused. They had consented to pay $1,000,000,000. they broken heartedly gave up Alsace and Lorraine, but the bouquet of their priceless wines Bismarck should not have, and in the end they compromised on five barrels. The French were instinctively governed by supernal common sense.—Engineering Magazine. TALKING PICTURES. Edison's Kinetophone Capable of Reproducing Opera. Thomas A. Edison recently gave a demonstration at his laboratory in New Jersey of the "talking moving pictures." It was successful, but he thinks he needs one year more to so improve the mechanism that grand opera can be reproduced. As finally explained the phenomenon of a moving picture of actors whose movement of lips was reproduced in speech as on a stage was this: There are two instruments, one photographic and one phonographic, one giving the moving lifelike picture and the other accompanying every movement with the words. Both machines were synchronized, "locked" together, like the sending and receiving instruments in close telegraphy. Their connection was instantaneous. The moving picture talked. The camera was operated fifteen feet from the screen. The recording phonograph is eight feet back of the screen. The difficulty of having films and sounds correspond was overcome by having the phonograph controlled by an electromagnet operated by the moving picture operator. And at the time he began cranking the films to the speed of sixteen pictures a second the phonograph was opened by the electromagnet. Economy of Concrete. Economy of Concrete. At a recent meeting of the Concrete institute of London, held at the United Service institution, E.R. Matthews in a paper on "Re-enforced Concrete Chimney Construction" stated that during the past seven years one American firm alone of Chicago has erected nearly a thousand concrete chimneys in America. The advantages were found to be that the cost is one-half as much as a brick shaft, there is a saving in space, there is an economy of materials, the brickwork at the base of a 300 foot shaft measuring about four feet ten inches, while a concrete shaft of the same height would have an outer nine inch wall and an inner five inch, with a four inch space between. A concrete shaft weighs less and has sufficient stability, there having been but one failure recorded due to faulty construction. It can be built in one-half the time required for a brick shaft, and once constructed the concrete shaft requires practically no repairs. --- Mount Glenwood Cemetery OCTOBER 9th, 1910 Cemetery are cordially welcome.

TIME McCall COMPANY, 239 W 20th W 3rd S, NEW YORK EMOTIONAL PADEREWSKI. His Gentile Nerves and His Horror of Autograph Fiends. M. Paderewski will receive a considerable amount from the insurance companies on account of the attack of newbies in his right arm, which obliged him to cancel his London engagement. 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 Paderewski's health is due to the state of his nerves, for he is an intensely emotional man. Some time ago he said that the secret of music is emotion. "Emotion," he declared, "is the principle of music, the foundation and finishing touch of art." Apart from his chronic neuritis, Pad- kowski has been extremely unfortunate. It's altogether wrong.

Repeatedly for this reason he has had to cancel lengthy engagements worth scores of thousands of pounds. 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 seekers. Grossmith ruffled 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."

Public schoolteachers who attended the summer normal at Teague, Tex., the past summer have expressed their unqualified approval of Professor T. Samuel Harrison's method of quick reading, writing and spelling. The school was conducted under the supervision of Mr. J. W. Sanford. In speaking of the success of Professor Harrison's methods at the sessions of the normal this year Mr. Sanford says: "All teachers who expect to keep in the foremost rank with the best educators should by all means give this method a fair trial. "I am sure if it is rightly used it will economize time and also awaken new interest in the pupils. It is quite an improvement on our present methods." Christianity Should Begin at Home. From the number of horrible murders of helpless women and lynching of equally defenseless Negroes the white man seems to be falling from his vaunted high degree and to be returning to his former savagery.
