Vivian H. HON. SAMUEL A. ETTELSON. Republican Candidate for Re-Election to the State Senate From the 3rd Senatorial District, Who Will See To It; That the 8th Regiment Illinois National Guards, Will Have a New Armory. Col. John R. Marshall, Favors the Re-Election of Hon. Samuel A. Ettelson, To The State Senate, From the 3rd Senatorial District. Julius F. Taylor, Editor of The Broad Ax. 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 --- NOBLE B. JUDAH, JR. NOBLE B. JUDAN, JR. Republican Candidate, for Member of the Legislature; From the Flat Legislature District of Illinois. Vol. XVI HEW·TO THE LINE: LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY 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 commanding officers 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 unswerving friend of the type of Senator Ettelson.

Milholland of New York City, the second William Lloyd Garrison, who is still traveling in Europe, again turns the searchlight on the great political boss, the new Moses of Negro race, Booker T. Washington in the following manner and his article or utterances should be eagerly read by every man, woman and child throughout the United States. that ancient lie about certain "fundamental differences in the brain structure," has been so completely demolished in the cold processes of scientific demonstration, notably by Professor Wilder, of Cornell, the French, German and other savants, that we shall be trouble less with it in the future consideration of this subject.

Secretary, The Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society. Rev., Dear Sir:— I must decline your Society's kind invitation to the Luncheon in honor of my fellow countryman, Dr. Booker T. Washington. I do so with regret. Dr. Washington, like myself, is a Citizen of the United States. He is also a friend of many years. Our relations have been cordial. More than once he has been my guest. The Sunday following his famous Luncheon at the White House with President Roosevelt, when the consequent excitement—that exhibition of barbarism—was at its height, I gave a dinner in his honor at the leading hotel of New York. Not less than $50,000 was realised for his school on that occasion. At the time I also held his view on the Tuskegee propaganda. From this you can perhaps infer if your Luncheon involved merely the personal equation, I would gladly come, but it involves a great deal more, as you and your friends will all see within a short time, and because it does, I deem it proper, out of regard for the host of the occasion, the noble organisation which you represent, that I should set forth briefly the reasons that compel me to decline an invitation from a Society that all good people delight to honor. Dr. Washington and his institution at Tuskegee practically stand for the industrial education or material progress of the American Negro, and for that alone. I do not. Neither do I stand for the industrial education of the Jews, the Irish, the Dutch, or any other race. It would be just as rational to say that the men of Kent or Surrey shall all be wheelrights, every Welshman an electrician, every Scotchman a gardener, or that the young women of Yorkshire, even when qualified to go in for the Mathematical Tripos at Cambridge, shall all become Red Cross Nurses, as to lay down one course of study and development for 10,000,000 American citizens whose skins are Colored, but who differ from one another in brain and body just as much as the people of other nations. More than a hundred years ago, when Slavery flourished in the United States, North and South, Alexander Hamilton, one of the greatest Statesmen, keenest observers, and among the most logical reasoners ever produced in America, declared after exhaustive examination, that the Negro's "natural faculties are every bit as good as ours." A century's experience confirms this view, for even that ancient lie about certain "fundamental differences in the brain structure," has been so completely demolished in the cold processes of scientific demonstration, notably by Professor Wilder, of Cornell, the French, German and other savants, that we shall be troubled less with it in the future consideration of this subject. There are Negroes, and possibly the majority of them, as in the case of the Whites, who may or may not be fit for higher education; but to say that the hundreds of thousands who unquestionably are shall be denied the cultivation of their faculties is an outrage upon the individual and a crime against humanity. Again, Dr. Washington stands for the inadequate education of his Race, and tacitly accepts the shameful violation of the Constitutional rights of the Afro-American. About 3,000 students of both sexes attend Tuskegee, and his theory seems to be that by a gradual multiplication of his School throughout the country the entire field will be covered in time. It certainly will require a very long time even to supply industrial education, but, as I heard him declare—and in doing so strikingly illustrated Sir Harry Johnston's remark that none were more callous to the Negro's sufferings than the Negro himself—in the Manhattan Hotel, New York, that "a hundred years would be required to qualify his people for citizenship." I suppose he feels more reconciled to this deliberate procedure than are the overwhelming majority of American Citizens whose representatives in Congress more than forty years ago wrote into our Constitution that fitness for Citizenship was no longer to be conditioned upon "race, color or previous conditions of servitude." I stand upon the Constitution, which was amended in the Negro's interest when, as an illiterate rate, they had just emerged from slavery, where as now more than fifty per cent. of them can read and write. The authorities estimate that more than four million children, about equally divided between white and Colored, are growing up in the United States to-day without an opportunity to acquire even the rudiments of an education. It is part of slavery's aftermath, as Mr. Archer realised in his recent journeys through the South. Deplorable under any circumstances, it is doubly so in this instance because it is absolutely unnecessary. The United States, spending tens of millions for a new Navy and hundreds of millions for a Panama Canal, is abundantly able to provide for the educational needs of every boy and girl beneath the flag. It is able, and the great mass of our people are willing to do so. They were willing to do so twenty years ago, when that practical, comprehensive scheme of legislation known as the Blair Education Bill, put forth as an adequate expression of the popular desire, was passed again and again by the Senate, and only beaten finally by one of the most discreditable combinations of political selfishness, foolish leadership, misguided philanthropists and religious bigotry ever evidenced at Washington.

Member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County, Popular and Influential German-American Republican, Friend of the Small Taxpayers, Who Will Be Re-Elected To its Present Position Tuesday, November 8th. 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 there from 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.

(Concluded from page 1.) passed, this Bill would have eliminated illiteracy completely from every Southern State, and given the Negro, as well as the white child, not only a primary education, but an enlightened environment, within which lynching, mob law, and color prejudice would gradually have become impossible. Those who were responsible for the Bill's defeat—and Dr. Washington has some knowledge on this point—boasted that ample school facilities would be provided by the various States, supplemented with private philanthropy. The prediction has pot been fulfilled. In one State, at least, the annual provision for popular education does not amount to a dollar a year, per capita, and all the private enterprises, the Peabody Fund, Slater Fund, Mr. Carnegie's and Mr. Rockefeller's large donations, Hampton, Fisk, Nashville, Howard and Tuskegee, all rolled together, are but a drop in the bucket, and fail to do more than ripple the surface of this sea of ignorance. Not in their inadequacy, however, lies the gravest objection to these attempts to substitute spasmodic philanthropic enterprise for a stern, imperious Government duty. The argument rests upon deeper foundations. If popular education is, according to Burke, the bulwark of any nation, what sort of statecraft is it that would have this tower of strength dependent upon the humanitarian impulse of rich men and women, or the mendicancy of Dr. Washington and others like him? Education is not to be sought or bestowed as a charity; it is nothing if not an inherent right of every American child, sanctioned by the overwhelming majority of American tax payers, whose will has been thwarted by misguided people in magnifying the importance of their individual efforts to the detriment of the masses, and whose experiments, after a fair trial, extending over a quarter of a century, as a solution of the Race tax payers, have been dismal failures. Such individual institutions as Tuskegee have grown and prospered, but the social and political condition of the Negro in the South has become steadily worse, until to women like Mrs. Terrell and men like Dr. Du Bois it is to-day simply intolerable. The Armenian, under the old Turkish regime, was only at the more desperate, for when the mob's passion is aroused a Negro's life is regarded with less concern than that of a dog. Please understand that I do not deplore Tuskegee's prosperity. I rejoice that, thanks to Mr. Carnegie and others, Dr. Washington has been able to collect such large sums of money. He would be successful in any calling. A shrewder, a more adroit man would be difficult to find in Dixie. He has the genius of persuasion and diplomacy. What I object to is his endeavor to make people here believe an untruth, as he has done to an alarming extent in America, namely, that his scheme of industrial education is a panacea, when he should know perfectly well that it is nothing of the kind. Industrial education was had by the Negro in Slavery. They were the mechanics and artisans of the South, as well as the tillers of the soil, and whatever may be said on behalf of the system, it surely will not be admitted by none, thinking people that a man must acquire a trade at the price of his individual or political manhood. That is the crux of the situation. MRS. J. C. STEWART. President of the Town of Lake Woman's Club; Prominent Member of Olivevet Baptist Church; the Household of Ruth; Who Is a Great Honor To the Wowanmhood of the Afro-American Race. THE GENTLEMEN'S RECEPTION HELD BY THE TOWN OF LAKE WOMAN'S CLUB WAS A MOST BRILLIANT AFFAIR. sketch of the work accomplished by it during the year; Mrs. E. L. Davis president of the Phyllis Wheatly Club, Mrs. Emma Kennedy, ex-presi Monday evening. The Town of Lake Woman's Club, held its first annual public reception to which the men were invited, at the beautiful home of Mrs. W. A. Seams, 5026 Armour avenue. A large number of members and their, invited guests thronged the tastefully decorated parlor during the evening. Choice cut flowers were in abundance throughout the house. Ice cold punch was served as well as other fine refreshments. A most excellent program was arranged. Miss Mildred Williams, chairman of the program committee introduced the speakers; they were as follows: shallow thinkers and crude generalisers to say that the great Statesmen of the Civil War, Sumner, Stevens, Feenenden, Wade, Conkling Blaine, and Shalbarger, with the aroused Nation behind them, were mistaken in granting the Negro the right of suffrage. Nothing could be further from the truth, and all the lying in connection with the so-called "Carpet Bag" period cannot make it otherwise. The Negro has proved his right to Citizenship. He has been right on every great question since the War. He has voted intelligently and with keen discrimination; he left his imprint on the South by the wisest legislative measures in its history; among others, the existing system of Public Schools, and when the History of the Reconstruction period becomes something more than an accepted lie, the true story of Negro domination of the South will cause such a revision of opinion as to humiliate his traducers and confound his adversaries. Some years ago I published a pamphlet setting forth in detail the history of the Negro vote in our national elections since the close of the Civil War, thereby demonstrating that the Negro had voted in the Republic's interest on every important issue, thus vindicating his judgment at the polls. That pamphlet has been circulated widely, but not a single statement in it has ever been challenged. In other words, the Negroes have proved themselves as worthy of citizenship as any other element of our population, and yet, notwithstanding this, they are to-day without a single representative in Congress, the Courts, the Cabinet, or practically in any of the State Legislatures, something that cannot be said of any other body of American citizens. The German-Americans are no more numerous, but you find new Municipal or State governments in which they are not represented in accordance with their numerical strength in the electorate; their spokesmen are conspicuous in the halls of national legislation. The same is true of the Swedes, the Hungarians, the Italians, and, of course, conspicuously true of the Irish. The Indians have a United States Senator. The Jews are represented even in the Cabinet, and no sensible man thinks it should be otherwise. The Negro is excluded, not because of any personal unfitness (his representatives were always among the ablest in Congress), but for no other reason than that of his color and Race. He is a victim of shameless class legislation, of force, fraud, intimidation and murder. No fair-minded man familiar with the way in which the disfranchising of the Colored voter was brought sketch of the work accomplished by it during the year; Mrs. E. L. Davis, president of the Phyllis Wheatly Club, Mrs. Emma Kennedy, ex-president, Cornell Charity Club, Mrs. B. Spencer, president the Katherine Tillman Club, Mrs. A. D. Dickerson, president North Side Woman's Club, Mrs. Genevieve Coleman, president Cornell Charity Club; Mrs. A. J. Caldwell, president the Willing Workers; Mrs. Fannie Turner, president the City Federation, Plano solos by Miss W. Moore and Miss F. Cotton. All the addresses delivered by the presidents of the various clubs, were full of good sound sense and were well received. The Town of Lake Woman's Club, starts out on its second year under very favorable conditions as it already has a large membership, and its officers are all live, active, and progressive women and it is destined to become one of the largest women's clubs in this city. about in the Southern States has any question whatever as to the wholesale fraudulent character of the entire procedure. It was contrary to the spirit, contrary to the letter of the Constitution. It is in clear violation of the solemn pledges of the seceding States when they were re-admitted to the Union. It is an outrage on our American citizenship, a disgrace to Republican Government, an affront to advancing civilization. To sum up, Dr. Washington stands for private, spasmodic schemes of education based upon private charity; condones the disfranchisement of the Negro, in fact if not in form, negatively if not positively; deems it unwise to denounce lynching or peonage, or protest against the numberless shameless outrages perpetrated upon his Race throughout the country. He thinks he can do more by overlooking them and by persuading everybody else he can to overlook them also. He has been tolerably successful up to the present time, but he has reached the limit. His staunchest upholders in America, such, for example, as The Evening Post of New York, which was foolishly led to oppose the Blair Education Bill years ago, has at last become aroused to the absurdity of the Tuskegee proposition as the salvation of the Negro, typifying in this the beclouded brain clearing and long dormant, conscience awakening of the Nation. The lynching habit has grown in America until the average during the past few months has reached one a day, or about double that which has prevailed during the last twenty years. Sixty men were massacred in Texas in July without any Government investigation or inquiry, and yet Dr. Washington comes over here and blandly assures the British public that the Races are dwelling together more amicably than in the past. He is utterly mistaken, and in refutation of what he says, I offer you this unchallenged statement made in the United States Senate by one of the most widely-known of that body, a Southerner of Southerners, Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, who in a speech delivered before the Senate openly declared:— "Race hatred grows day by day. There is no man who is honest, going through the South and conversing with the White People and Blacks, but will return and tell you this is true. Then I say to you of the North who are the rules of the land, who can change this or do something to relieve conditions, what are you going to do about it? Are you going to sit quiet? If nothing else will cause you to think, I notify you, what you already know, that there are a COL. JOHN R. MARSHALL FAVORS THE RE-ELECTION OF THE HON. SAMUEL A. ETTELSON TO THE STATE SENATE. (Consisted from page 1.) hope for his success at the coming election 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 theretofore unprecendented 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, to show this worthy young gentleman 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, re-elect him on Tuesday, November 8th 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. For I therefore feel that with the re-election of our tired, and true friend Samuel A. Ettelson, to the State Senate, the 8th Regiment will come into the possession of a new Armory, which is so much needed. OSCAR HEBEL REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS. (Concluded from page 1.) tion 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. And it is freely predicted that Mr. Hebel, will not have much trouble in running a great deal faster throughout Cook County, and away ahead of any other candidate and that he will be the winner in the contest for his present position on Tuesday, November the 8th. billion dollars or more of Northern capital invested in the South in railroads, in mines, in forests, in farm lands, and self interest, which fact, if nothing else—ought to make you set about hunting some remedy for this terrible situation. As it is the South is helpless. We can do nothing. We are one-third of the population. You are two-thirds. Every year your members are being added to by a million immigrants in the North, who stay there, while none go to us. The million who came in last year represent five Congressmen. Those who came in year before last represent five more Congressmen. There is no danger of political power ever drifting away from the North. Therefore we say to you it is your duty to do something. It is your duty to move. It is your duty to begin the discussion. For the time being the South is occupying an attitude of waiting. It is occupying an attitude of constant friction, race riot, butchery, murder of Whites by Blacks and Blacks by Whites, the inevitable, irrepressible conflict. Thanking you again for your kind invitation, wishing your Society all prosperity, and your Guest health of body and a clearer vision. I beg to remain. Yours sincerely, JOHN E. MILHOLLAND [Picture of a man in a suit with a mustache]. ALDERMAN WILLIAM E. DEVER. Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the City Council, Candidate for Judge of the Superior Court, and Warm Friend of the Afro-American Race. Alderman William E. Dever, Democratic candidate for Judge of the Superior Court, is so well known and is held in such high esteem by the people in this city and county, that he needs no introduction to the thousands of readers of The Broad Ax, he was born in Woburn, Mass., in 1862, receiving his education in the public schools of the city in which he first saw the light of day; residing there until 1887, then he wended his way to Chicago, and he has been an honored resident of this great city from that time to the present. Dever, is a social favorite on the Northwest Side and extremely popular with her lady associates and greatly interested in club work among women. Alderman Dever, has always been friendly to worthy Afro-Americans in 1902, he was selected by Mayor Carter H. Harrison to represent the city council at the Colored Exposition which was held at the First Regiment Armory; he gladly attended the Exposition, and freely mingled with the Colored people, and delivered several speeches imparting sound advice to them; he also contributed some of his own money to assist to make it a success. For more than ten years he has been a very valued member of the city council from the 17th ward and most of that time, as well as at the present time has been chairman of the judiciary committee of that body, he is also an active member of several other important committees and for years he has been regarded as one of its foremost leaders and in all his labors for the city of his adoption he has had the united support of the daily press, as well as the hearty support of the small weekly newspapers, whose editors and owners have always spoken of him in the highest terms. In 1890, after he had thoroughly drank in the law, he was admitted to the bar, and for twenty years he has been in the general practice of his profession, at the present time occupying a fine suite of law offices on the 5th floor of the Ashland Block; he is a prominent member of the National Union, Knights of the Macebees, Knights of Columbus and several other social and benevolent organizations; he has been happily married for many years and resides with his family at 225 West Chicago avenue and Mrs. AIR YOUR BEDDING. A few days ago we came through one of the city railroad yards. Certain side tracks were filled with sleeping cars. Out of every east window of every sleeping car mattresses and bedding were hung, getting the sun and air. This was as it should be. Then the idea occurred to us how many people sleep each night in Chicago on mattresses which are seldom sunned and aired. Every mattress should be sunned frequently. It does not "sleep" well unless it is sunned from time to time. Everybody has noticed how much better bedding "feels" after it has been well aired. Besides the comfort of it there is the question of health. There are many diseases which can be spread through the bed and the bed clothes. There are germ diseases. We read a great deal about disinfectants. Disinfectants kill germs. The best disinfectants are sunshine and air. Sun your mattresses and your bed clothes just as often as you can; every sunday day is possible; every sunny Sunday anyhow. The biggest bedroom ever built is not big enough to sleep in with the windows closed. Less than four quarts of food and drink is all that an adult person needs in 24 hours, but the lungs must have 200 gallons of pure fresh air for the same period if they are to be able to do their required work in a way that will preserve and build up our bodily health and vigor. The eighth Infantry Illinois National Guard will celebrate their Fifteenth Anniversary with a Grand Reception and Ball on Thursday, November 3 at the 7th Regiment Armory. Gold medals appropriately inscribed will be presented to those who have been in continuous service since the organization was first recruited. Dever, is a social favorite on the Northwest Side and extremely popular with her lady associates and greatly interested in club work among women. Alderman Dever, has always been friendly to worthy Afro-Americans in 1902, he was selected by Mayor Carter H. Harrison to represent the city council at the Colored Exposition which was held at the First Regiment Armory; he gladly attended the Exposition, and freely mingled with the Colored people, and delivered several speeches imparting sound advice to them: he also contributed some of his own money to assist to make it a success. It will also be recalled that a few days after the county election in 1966, at the time the first municipal court judges were elected, some of the lily White Republicans, wanted Alderman Dever, to join in the cold-blooded scheme, to cheat F. L. Barnett, out of his election as one of the judges of the municipal court, which was finally accomplished, but to his everlasting credit Alderman Dever, in a manly way promptly declined to do so; saying at the same time that he honestly believed that Mr. Barnett had been fairly elected, that he had nothing belonging to him, that he was not in, favor of stirring up so much race prejudice, that Mr. Barnett had already been abused too much and stabbed too many times while passing through the house of his supposed Republican friends." Those words came from the warm liberty-loving heart of Alderman Dever, without any should about it, and commonly stood at that time in respect of right and justice, which entitles the receive the vote of every Afro-American in Cook County, on Tuesday, November 8th, in his race for judge of the superior court.

Among the --- Mount Glenwood Cemetery Association Extends an invitation to those desiring to visit its grounds SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23th, 1910 Please leave the children home, if possible. We are deeply in earnest in regard to interesting you in this work. If you will just stop and think for a moment—isn't a cemetery lot just as necessary as life insurance? There is not one person in ten but carries insurance to protect against the inevitable. Facts are hard and we must meet them sooner or later. Will you act in this important matter while this great opportunity is open to you? Those unusual terms cannot last always. $2.00 Cash—$2.00 per Month soon pays for a lot, and before the lot is paid for, it will be worth double what it costs you. The attached coupon is good for $5 on the purchase of a lot. Many of our friends go out on these free excursions and after seeing what Mount Glenwood Cemetery is, lose no time in selecting a lot. This opportunity will not last long. This may be the last excursion—it depends on the weather. We are going to advance the price of lots as soon as these excursions stop running. Remember the hour: Our special train on the Chicago & Eastern Illinois R. R. leaves La Salle Street Station at 2:00 p. m.; 31st Street at 2:05 p. m.; 63rd Street at 2:10 p. m. This gives you time for your Sunday dinner, and we will get you back to the city in time for supper. We run these trains on Sundays to give all the people a chance to take advantage of this unusual opportunity to get a burial lot. So many cannot go during the day and are doing no WORK and the public is testifying to its belief in this work by supporting Mount Glenwood Cemetery liberally. Mount Glenwood Cemetery is now beyond the reach of this cemetery. About a half of different lodge organizations own from two to twelve lots and hundreds of individuals own lots, and hundreds more buying lots at this time speak for the cemetery. The funeral trains stop RIGHT AT THE CEMETERY GATES. The entrance which is in progress of construction will be the finest to any cemetery around Chicago, when completed. Our records of interments are kept in THREE SETS. One set is kept by the Superintendent on the grounds—another in the office of the Chicago office of the First National Bank Building. Our system of interments is complete in every detail and persons having relatives and friends buried there, may be assured that in future years they can always find the spot sacred to their memory. Free Tickets may be secured at the office of the association or from our agents. Any information desired can always be obtained by resting the office of the association.

James Hamilton Lewis, returned home last Saturday from a short European trip, and he is of the opinion, that the wild talk indulged in by Col. Roosevelt, is not conducive to the best interest of this country, in the estimation of the business men and financiers of the old world, and it would not do much harm, if a padlock was placed on the mouth of Col. Roosevelt, so that in the future he could be prevented from doing so much unnecessary talking.

Put twenty-six men into lear there at one shot and winged some sixty more.” ‘His left hand involuntarily went to his empty right aleeve, says William EL Foster in Scribner's, and it was Glear that he had a vivid recollection of the disaster. “Never knew what fired it,” he said. “Bome thought it was a high tempera- ture layer of limestone about thirty feet down. Some said shozt circuit. All I know is that she blew about four ours too soon and ‘twas something wicked. “Now, dynamite is very weird stuff,” be continued. “You don’t know just ‘what it will do, and we have accidents Fight along—can't seem to help it.
