THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS CITY AND THROUGHOUT TUESDAY VOTED TO UN GRAND "OLD PARTY," O The election on Tuesday, November 8th, has passed into history, and many years have rolled on into eternity since such a great Democratic tidal wave swept over the country, for the hosts of Democracy from Maine to California, planted its victorious banner on the strongest ramparts of the Republican party, and its well fortified strongholds were trampled down and its great leaders and high priests were put to flight by the white cloud of Democracy which rolled over the face of the earth, as it were. Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Ohio and other Northern States elected Democratic Governors. Eugene N. Foss, Democrat winning out in the old Bay State, Judge Simeon E. Baldwin, Democrat, cleaned up in Connecticut, John A. Dix, Democrat, swept New York state from end to end and has more than seventy thousand majority to his credit not only defeating Henry L. Stimson, Col. Roosevelt's man Friday, also pulling along with him a majority of the Democratic candidates for the legislature of that state who will knock Chaucey M. Depew, out of the United States senate. Woodrow Wilson, Democrat, one of the finest scholars in this country, was elected Governor of Ohio, and its legislature will also select a Democrat for the United States senate. Judson Harmon, Democrat, was re-elected Governor of Ohio, and its legislature will displace United States Senator Charles Dix with a Democrat. Indiana also wheeled into line and elected the entire Democratic state ticket, and John W. Kern, who ran for vice-president with Col. William J. Bryan in 1908, and who employed Colored men as clerks in his office, when he was clerk of the Appellate HEW TO THE LINE: LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY court of the Hoosier state, will succeed Albert J. Beveridge, in the United State Senate, who is a strong standpatter and who has been foolish enough to believe that he would become the running mate with Col. Roosevelt, for vice-president of the United States in 1912, but his dream has gone glimmering through the dream of things that will never come to pass in this country. The Lower House of Congress, is strongly Democratic and the unwashed and unterreferred Democrats will have more than sixty mojarity, and Czar Joseph G. Cannon, who can cuss louder and use more profanity than any man in the United States, will no longer be its speaker, that is going some and worth a great deal to the American people. Col. Theodore Roosevelt who has an itching desire to become king of the world likes to have the people of this country to fall down on their knees and worship his lordship like unto so many slaves is completely dumb founded over the Democratic landslide so he has closed his big mouth, has nothing to say and taken to the woods. Here in Illinois the Democrats gained five new congressmen and Cook county passed over into the Democratic column: every candidate on the ticket with the possible exception of Ode L. Rankin, for Probate Judge, being elected by large majorities. Alderman Michael Zimmer, knocks out Frank A. Vogler, for Sheriff, and William L. O'Connell, laid out Thomas J. Healy, stiff and cold for county treasurer, and the election returns plainly indicated that it was a sad case of too much Healy. Our warm friend John E. Owens, puts one over on the Hon. Lewis Rinaker, for Judge of the County court. CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 12, 1910. ARGENT ARCHER PHOTO KENSINGTON LONDON MADAME E. AZALIA HACKLEY.

Burns, Republican for Judge of the Circuit court. The following Democratic ticket pulled through at the polls on Tuesday: MILLIONS OF RED CROSS SEALS DISTRIBUTED. 75,000,000 to be sent out by December—40,000,000 already Printed—May Sell in Postoffices.

With so many big offices in sight, it is estimated that jobs amounting to more than $3,000,000 a year will be turned over to the victorious party in this city and county. It is freely admitted that thousands and thousands of Afro-Americans, in this city and throughout the United States, on Tuesday voted to unhorse the leaders of the "Grand Old Party of God and Morality." GRAND CHARITY BENEFIT BALL, AT THE 7TH REGIMENT ARMORY, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2ND, 1911. Monday evening, January 2nd, 1911, a Grand Charity Benefit Ball, will be given at the 7th Regiment Armory, 34th street and Wentworth avenue. Mrs. William Emanuel, will serve as chairman of the committee, which will have charge of the affair. Look for the complete announcement in the next issue of this paper, also the list of the beneficiaries. MILLIONS OF RED CROSS SEALS DISTRIBUTED. 75,000,000 to be sent out by December—40,000,000 already Printed—May Sell in Postoffices. Judging from reports at hand today, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis estimates that by December 1st, not less than 75,000,000 Red Cross Seals will have been distributed to selling agents in forty different states of the country. Forty million seals have already been printed and another large edition is being prepared. Agents' orders to date aggregate all of that amount and a considerable number have not yet stated how many seals they can use. Taking into consideration this latter class and the agents who will be appointed before December 1st, the prospects for selling 100,000,000 stamps, which is the goal that has been set by the national workers, are extremely bright. Over 30 state societies have organized the sale on an extensive basis, and in about 10 more states, Red Cross Seals will be sold in some places. All told, including state, city, county, and sub-agents, an army of fully 50,000 men, women, and children will be engaged in selling the bright Christmas Seals for the prevention of tuberculosis. Permission to sell seals in the corridors of all post-offices has been granted by Secretary Hitchcock. They will also be on sale in department stores, hotels, railway stations, drug stores, and in thousands of other places. Every conceivable device for advertising the seals is being prepared. In some places valuable prizes will be given. Millions of slips, dodgers, posters, and other kinds of literature will be distributed calling upon the public to buy Red Cross Seals. Among the agencies that are cooperating with the Red Cross and the tuberculosis societies are women's clubs, lodges, labor unions, business men's associations, stores, banks, newspapers, and thousands of school-boys and girls. Every seal is a bullet in the fight against tuberculosis in the community where it is sold, and a million dollars from the sale for the stamping out of this plague is the object of the Christmas campaign. Miss Mary Fitzhugh The Talented Blind Dramatic Soprano Monday evening, Miss Mary Fitzhugh, the talented blind dramatic soprano, was introduced, to the Chicago public, at Institutional church, 3825 Dearborn street, and it was well filled by the best musically inclined people in Chicago. She was presented by that acknowledged and brilliant queen of song; Madame E. Azalia Hackley, who very skillfully and artistically presided at the piano, and assisted in delightfully rendering several duetts. Those who were fortunate enough to be present, greatly enjoyed, the treat which was in store for them, and those who failed to be in evidence should regret it. The affair was given under the auspices of the Woman's Aid for the benefit of the Old Folks Home, and judging from the size of the audience, a goodly sum was realized for it. The following highly edifying program was rendered: She has had a thorough education and is a credit to the race and an example of what a handicapped Colored girl can do. She is no way to be pitied, for she is gifted and educated, and Madame E. Azalia Hackley in presenting her to the public to win her place as one of the foremost singers of the race, in spite of her affliction. She has a fine dramatic soprano voice of great volume and rare sweetness. She softly and sweetly sings in three languages, and her repertoire embraces the songs sung by the best artists in this country. Those desiring to secure her services for rare occasions or great social entertainments, in any part of the country, for terms and so on, should address Madame E. Azalia Hackley, manager, 54 West 134th street, New York City, N. Y. Many sacrifices, including financial; have been made by Mrs. Hackley, in gram was rendered: Songs—Chanson Provencale, La Folletta, Ah! Let me Dream, Kiss Waltz. Duett—Night in Venice, Miss Fitzhugh, Madame Hackley. Readings—Laska, Encouragement, Song and Pantomine "Comin' Thro' the Rye." Songs—If I were a Rose, Obstination—(Self accompanied) Queen of the Night. Readings—Keep a Goin', Deely. Songs—a. Loch Lomond, b. Florian's Song, c. Let me Love Thee. Duett—Last Rose of Summer. Without the least doubt about it, Miss Fitzhugh possesses extraordinary talent. She was born in St. Louis, Mo., about 25 years ago, and became totally blind at 15, but had been partially blind for years before. At 15, she entered the Missouri State school for the blind, and learned all she knows from that time to the present. She can sing, play the piano, recite, pantomime, typewrite, sew and crochet. She reads and copies music by the Braille system. She finds her way about her city and travels alone. She tells some colors of worsteds by their odors, and is as remarkable in other respects. Her remarkably beautiful voice has been carefully trained by the vocal teacher of the school, and she has had a three years' course in elocution, which with her piano playing, makes her as accomplished as any young woman of the race. THE CURSE OF SUPERSTITION The human race are idolaters and superstitionists — idolaters because they worship idols called gods; and superstitionists because they believe in a soul and a future life. This idolatry and superstition is the greatest and most wide-spread curse which mankind has ever inflicted upon itself. The vice of idolatry and superstition of immortality has caused more folly and wickedness than all the other vices and superstitions of the race combined. Of quarrels, religious quarrels have been the bitterest; and of wars, religious wars have been the bloodiest. Think of the tears that have flowed, and the blood that has been shed, under the accursed reign of religion. Bitter conflicts have been waged between the worshippers of different objects and myths to which the name of "God" has been given. Those, too, who have worshipped the same idol have quarrelled as to its makeup and the manner of worshipping it. Millions of people, for many centuries, have been led, or driven, through She has had a thorough education and is a credit to the race and an example of what a handicapped Colored girl can do. She is no way to be pitied, for she is gifted and educated, and Madame E. Azalia Hackley in presenting her to the public to win her place as one of the foremost singers of the race, in spite of her affiliation. She has a fine dramatic soprano voice of great volume and rare sweetness. She softly and sweetly sings in three languages, and her repertoire embraces the songs sung by the best artists in this country. Those desiring to secure her services for rare occasions or great social entertainments, in any part of the country, for terms and so on, should address Madame E. Azalia Hackley, manager, 54 West 134th street, New York City, N. Y. Many sacrifices, including financial; have been made by Mrs. Hackley, in order to make it possible for Miss Fitzhugh, to appear to such great advantage before the public and in presenting her Mrs. Hackley gives expression to these noble sentiments which should sink down deep into the hearts of all Colored people, who claim to be full of race pride. "I believe in helping the living as well as in burying the dead. I believe in helping young people to earn a living. I believe that many a young person has "gone down" because there was no reaching hand to "help up." I believe there are many Colored mothers and fathers who will be glad to give this talented blind girl a "lift" without waiting until some white person "lifts her up." I mean to do my plain duty, as I see it, by giving "Blind Mary Fitzhugh" a chance in life, that she may become a self-supporting woman." It has been our pleasure to be acquainted with Mrs. Hackley, since 1897. At that time she resided in Denver, Colo., long before she became famous in the musical world, and sang before the crowned heads of Europe, and to say the least, we have watched her career, with joy and delight, and have been greatly interested over the brilliant success which has attended her thus far, and we sincerely hope, that her pathway will be strewn with roses throughout the remainder of her life. fear of their imaginary deities, to commit the worst of vices and the greatest of crimes. In Europe, for example, a period of a thousand years, known as the Dark Ages, religious mythologies caused more sorrow and suffering than all other causes combined. Persecution, torture, imprisonment, massacre, war, slavery, witchcraft, ignorance, tyranny—these are but a few of the fruits of religions. People are worshipping a myth named God instead of serving humanity; they are believing in a superstition termed the "immortality of the soul" instead of cultivating their minds and bodies for usefulness in their present, and only life. Think of the time, energy and wealth that has been wasted on the worship of non-existent Gods, and the saving of non-existent souls from a non-existent hell for a non-existent heaven. If this time, energy and wealth had been spent upon the mental, moral and material improvement of mankind, here and now, this world would indeed be a paradise—W. H. Kerr, Gt. Bend, Kans. No. 6 M. J.

It is not good policy to give business secrets away, but as many people wonder how editors get rich so quick, we give out the following information, remarks the editor of the Paxton, (Ill.) Register, hoping that every one of our readers will not take advantage of this and engage in the newspaper business. A fellow terming himself "Ganderbone's Forecast" located at St. Louis, offers to furnish us a lot of poetry and other silly stuff, if we will only run his advertisement each week. A fellow out west wants us to do a lot of advertising for him for nothing, and if it brings results he may become a customer. A gun firm wants us to run $19 worth of advertising and then send them $10 in exchange for a shotgun. Such a gun would retail at about $6. For running $17 worth of locals, we can get a $1 magazine telling how to do dressmaking at home. By running $50 worth of advertising and sending $25 to an Atlantic City firm, we will be given a deed to a lot. When the tide is in the lot stands six feet under water. A Kansas real estate firm will give us a deed to a lot 22x60 feet for $40 worth of advertising and $25 cash. We wrote to a fellow who knew of the lots offered and he replied that they had no cash value, but a trading value of about $5. If we can run a column write up of a doings to be held in North Dakota this fall, amounting to about $7, we will be sent two $1 tickets. Our railroad fare up there and back, for two, would be about $60. We can have almost any Chicago daily paper --- M. sent us free. The subscription rate is about $4, but all we have to do is to run $36 worth of locals. $40 worth of advertising and $25 cash we can own a bicycle. The wheel sells at just $12. About a dozen firms are wanting to give us shares in gold mines for advertising. A nursery firm will give us a 25-cent rosebush for only $5 worth of advertising. For running a 6-inch advertisement one year we get a gross of pills—The Western Publisher. And, finally, do not forget what we have said before in these columns, that the biggest bedroom ever built is not big enough for even one person to sleep in with the windows closed GOOD AIR INSIDE. Our supply of good pure air from God's out doors. In the fields and parks, out in the open, almost anywhere, except in the very crowded places of our great cities, the air is good. It is indoors, under roofs and inside of walls where human beings are crowded together, that the air becomes dirty, foul and dangerous. And because we do not at once realize the presence of bad air in our homes and work places, and because its ill effects are not at once noticeable, most of us who lead indoor lives are poisoning ourselves every day with dirty air. Especially is this true now that the cool weather is here and we are inclined to keep the windows closed. Nothing is of more importance than that we should have plenty of fresh, pure air indoors. We do not need an indoor temperature of 70 degrees, although most people think that nothing less will do. As a matter of fact a temperature of 38 degrees is much better. So, if the room be heated to 70 degrees, we can well afford to have the windows open and let in fresh air enough to bring the temperature down to around 38 degrees, at which point it should be kept. Another important point as to indoor air is that as a rule, it is too dry. And this together, with its usually impure condition, causes sickness and death. The admission of a plentiful supply of outdoor air tends to increase the amount of moisture in the room air and makes it more healthful. he received more than fifty thousand, Republican, for Judge of the Circuit ate is And, finally, do not forget what we have said before in these columns, that the biggest bedroom ever built is not big enough for even one person to sleep in with the windows closed es ur- se- ag. nt de re es se ce rk no es is is ne h, n l- g a o e r n [Name] The next Sheriff of Cook County, who outran Frank A.

Collector Charles Washington Anderson said this of Dr. Washington at his home-coming banquet in New York: "We have assembled to-night to welcome home one of the few immortal men whose names are written in the book of gold." And Dr. Washington did not rebuke him.—Philadelphia Tribune. Anderson is confused in the head. He probably had in mind that old song sung by Moody and Sankey, where reference is made to the "Book of Thy Kingdom." Gold is what holds the boys in line. Dr. Washington has other use for this precious metal than casting it into a book, the pages of which would stick too tight. —The Eye, Brooklyn, New York. You are right Brother Lark, Booker T.

Taylor, Editor of The Broad Ax. Chicago. Another biennial election in the most populous county of the middle west has been held and the result is rather unusual. The political party gaining the upper hand as far back as 1856 in the state, on one of the greatest moral issues of the nineteenth century, at every election in the county since succeeded in at least electing some candidate voted for by the whole county until now (if Judge Rankin shall be found to have been elected) and whether this will be an aid to the reform movement remains to be seen. That it will have some good effect is certain, inasmuch as it serves as a rebuke to the party in power hitherto in state and municipality, which has proven so recreant to the trust confided to it by the electorate. The people of the state and county have at various times indicated on the little ballot that they wanted a law enacted providing for the merit system as the means through which the people could appoint and supervise their servants and employees. This party through its central committee of the county, joined with a number of voluntary political and reform associations without regard to party or creed, in placing itself on record as in favor of the extension of the county civil service law. They were in the majority in the 45th and 40th General assemblies, but no such law is yet on the statute books. As a re- ALDERMAN THOMAS F. SCULLY. One of the new Judges of the Municipal Court.

Not only is it a wrong to the taxpayers, but the system is demoralizing in the extreme to those who might be considered the direct beneficiaries of the pernicious practice. It attracts a horde of applicants for what is considered "soft snaps" and they "crook the pregnant hinges of the knee, in the hope that thrift may follow fawning" and this fawning is indulged in upon men who are often moral derelicts and mental and physical mediocres, the association of which would be demoralizing to any person of pure life and conversation. In order to attract followers and admirers they will stoop to sions and appealing to the people they can gather around themselves a following, they will not hesitate to adopt such pernicious methods. Those who fall victims to these attractions, should not be blamed too much; the associations and environments have much to do to influence a person's conduct and when you see, as we all saw during the recent campaign, a numerous delegation in each precinct with badges on bearing the names of the different candidates they were supposed to work for by suggesting their candidacy to the busy voter, and to notify those who were late in getting to the polls, we should not have any resentment against them, as the economic condition of the greater number of them, were doubtless such, that a few dollars meant much to them, and a man He will bury cheaper than the trust [Name] GEO.

Lake St., near Lincoln St. must "hang his hat" wherever he can find a peg. There is no doubt but what these "workers" have a considerable influence in behalf of the committee or candidate that employ them, and this influence is not always for the best interest of the community. For this reason the friends of election reform have caused a bill to be introduced in the general assembly providing for the appointment by the election commission, at public expense of an inspector to serve in each precinct for the purpose of seeing that every person of voting age domiciled within the precinct, is supplied with notice as to date and hour of every primary and election and the location of the polling place; and as to the candidates to be elected and the proposition to be voted for at such election, so that every citizen would be in position to act or refrain from acting upon the proposition, and if he chose to act to be in a position to do it intelligently. These inspectors would be appointed as absolutely nonpartisan officials under a merit test, and would hold their position during good behavior and as long as they wished to. Any political organization or any individual would have the right to appear before the county court and show cause why any one of those having been proposed who had taken the examination and approved by the election commission should not be appointed, and at any time they might be impeached for misconduct in their duties. This would make all party heelers or polling place workers, absolutely needless, and as party officials they should have no recognition under the law. As citizens and voters there should be no objection to their presence at or near the polling place, but both on registration and on election day, no "electionering" or solicitation of votes should be permitted at any place within the political division holding the election any more than it is now permitted within 100 feet of the polling place and it is to be hoped that when the new corrupt practice prevention act is drafted by the "committee of seven" this provision will be embodied into it. It will be readily understood that in the absence of such provision, the interests employing an army of men to bring the vote out, and incidentally to advocate a certain cause, has an undue advantage over the candidate or the cause without large means, and with a nonpartisan precinct inspector no public interest will suffer by such an enactment and the objection to the extension of the merit system will fall away. The spoils system is no doubt responsible for the great increase in the county salary account which now amounts to over $200,000. By systematizing the different branches of the service so there could be an exchange of employees between the different departments, as the work in each required, and by eliminating all holidays except those generally observed, and the requirement of a full 8 hour day for a full days pay, and by making the employment permanent dur --- JONES. er who conducts, one of the most ments in Chicago.

There is the opportunity for the successful party. Will it rise to it? Perhaps. If the gas trust element does not guide its policy. The elimination of the progressive declaration adopted by the "harmony committee," from the resolutions adopted by the county convention and the ambiguous declaration in those resolutions, on the question that would be observed in the appointment of new employees, and the mediocre language in which the declaration appeared, gives little hope of any improvement. If the policy of the shrievalty office in 1902, will be followed in general, by the county officials elect at the present time, the citizenship will find that they asked for bread and received a stone. BREWINGTON WINS AGAINST DEWEY, 10TH PRECINCT, 2ND WARD. GOES DEMOCRATIC FOR THE FIRST TIME IN POLITICAL HISTORY. The cause of it was so the writer was informed. The attempt of Chauncey Dewey, Boss of the Second Ward, to substitute another to do the organization work over James T. Brewington, Jr., who has been in control of this precinct for 9 out of 10 years. It is said that Dewey acted on the advice of two certain Colored politicians. Now he regrets the insult offered Brewington. Four weeks ago Brewington resigned his position as city investigator. Since then Dewey has attempted to oust him as Republican Committeeman of the north end of the Black Belt, but not having any law to do that he contented himself by substituting another to man the polls. Brewington defied Dewey (the man of millions), the latter flooded the precinct with money and it appears that the voters got the money and gave Dewey and his tool the grand double cross by sticking to Brewington and humitating Dewey. Brewington when seen had this to spy: "I am still a republican in principle but opposed to the present and --- past policy of the republican leaders in dealing with the Negroes; and, unless they change it. The Colored voters will turn the Black Belt over to the Democrats in next spring's election. We as a race would get more recognition if we were politically more independent. It is the intenton of many Colored men to reorganize the entire Black Belt to fight for their rights and I'll bet they will win. The majority of the Negroes are all right at heart, but they have been mislead by traitors of their own race. The recent election eliminates some which the race could have dispensed with long ago to its infinite benefit. I wish to express my sincere thanks to Messrs. Louis B. Anderson & Co., for having given Hon. Mr. Dewey such unwholesome advice." "C." CHIPS Mrs. G. G. Thomas of 2836 Armour avenue, has been seriously ill, but has much improved within the past few days.

BIG CELEBRATION AT PITTSBURG Notable Event In Smoky City Witnessed by Thousands. ECHOES OF FREEDOM HEARD. Emancipation Day Exercises Were Crowded With Many Brilliant Scenes, Which Showed the Progress of the Race Along Many Lines—Dr. W. B. Johnson's Stirring Address. At the recent emancipation celebration in Pittsburg, which was witnessed by more than 7,000 people, Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, the celebrated Baptist divine from Washington, was the principal speaker. The occasion was one of the most notable ever conducted by the colored people of Pittsburg, and the mammoth parade of floats, representing every trade and craft, with citizens in automobiles and carriages, was a picturesque sight. Mayor Magee and other prominent citizens of Pittsburg made addresses, and the whole affair was under the direction of a committee of well known colored citizens, headed by Rev. Dr. R. C. Fox, pastor of Carron Street Baptist church. Dr. Johnson's address was a comprehensive review of the slave question, particularly in its bearing upon the civil war, and a strong and forceful exposition of the duties and results of emancipation upon the life of the Negro race and the American nation. Dr. Johnson laid down the great principle that moral right is omnipotent and no man or government of men can resist it. Just what emancipation meant to the Negro, coming as he did fresh from the horrors of slavery, was described in a vivid and convincing manner by the speaker, who was likewise emphatic in enunciating certain obligations and duties his new found freedom imposed upon him. Dr. Johnson's speech was, in part, as follows: Viewed as to its results, the emancipation proclamation conceived as a glorious success. It united the friends of the Union. It threw into despairing forces new life. It brought into the armies of the Union as by magic 180,000 soldiers from the enfranchised race. It was the deathblow to slavery. It was the finishing stroke of the rebellion. The immortal Lincoln was in no sense a smatter. He was a profound reason for the victory. He understood the constitution of his country. He did not issue a proclamation for sport or to be booed at. He did not toy with the mighty concerns of the republic. His every act was governed by the sincerest convictions, guided by conscience. He was eminently a statesman, and patriotism and heroism were his crowning virtues. The emancipation of the slaves was the most important and farreaching as well as the most equitable and humane fact recorded in American history. Nothing has occurred in the long and eventful history of the republic like the breaking of slavery shackles from the souls and bodies of the American bondsmen. It has occurred in people legally, morally, sociologically and spiritually as no other thing had done or has done since. It was the culmination of a long series of struggles between national self respect, national purity of conscience and national greed and selfishness. Forty-seven years have elapsed. The American, Negro, while hampered by prejudice, poverty and presupposition has had success in himself, with himself a blessing or a curse. Have the conditions of freedom exhausted him? Has he assimilated as a man and citizen? Does he antagonize the just ideals and traditions of the American people? He is interwoven into the being of the nation, in its lifeblood, its homes, its schools, its industries and enterprises, its victories and defeats. He is a man who has a court render a decision, its political parties gain a victory, without considering him. He is a permanent element of American life, not dangerous to her well-being, because he is a Christian and progressive; not vicious, because he is industrious and rapidly becoming intelligent; not a pauper, because he is a taxpayer on over $300,000,000 in property. The essential elements of racial strength the Negro must have now is an exalted race pride. The Negro who is ashamed of his race ought to be driven out and marked as a traitor. It should be the highest ambition of every black man to invest the race with honor, dignity and power. We have nothing of which to be ashamed. Forty-seven years of freedom read like a romance. The Negro has no primrose path for the future. He must make himself a merite every time. He must make himself an indispensable factor in American life and contribute the best citizenship and sterling worth into the community in which he lives. He must simply compel the community to recognize his honesty and industry not by a servile, hat in hand policy, which is more hypocritical than real and which costs him self respect, and the respect of all his neighbors, but a manly, straight-forward course that shows him to be reliable, honest, industrious, virtuous and law abiding. We must organize in business, religion, society, against lawlessness and crime, for the protection of home, church, political right and every other thing that is sacred to the man and the citizen.

MISS BURROUGHS' LEADERSHIP Woman's Auxiliary Convention Contributes $15,000 to Foster the Work of the National Training School For Women and Girls—Strong Temperance Plank In Its Curriculum. By N. BARNETT DODSON. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The contribution of more than $15,000 for the education of girls and women by the woman's convention, auxiliary to the national Baptist convention, is another chapter in that remarkable series on self help among the colored people that in later years has marked their efforts at race progress. All the efforts of the convention have lately been centered in the establishment and maintenance of the National Training School For Women and Girls, which is located at Lincoln heights, District of Columbia, and in which it is the aim to teach girls and women of the race how to live and be of service. The institution is devoting itself entirely to the development of the best that there is in every woman and girl and thus creating within her self reliance and a deep sympathy that will so clear her vision that she will see her duty on every hand and will not be lacking in the determination to do her part well. The moving spirit in all this work is Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, a good representative of the new, conscientious young womanhood, who for several years has been the corresponding secretary of the woman's convention, which fosters the new school. The work of the institution during the past year has more than justified its existence. Miss Burroughs, by constantly calling attention to the efficacy of the work she is doing, was able to report at the recent meeting of the convention more than $15,000 for the work in one year. Besides maintaining this school for the exclusive training of young women the convention, through Miss Burroughs, supplies large quantities of literature to local organizations of a missionary character, helps maintain missionaries in African fields, takes care of several African students, in other Baptist schools, does juvenile work and in many ways acts as a guide and restraining influence upon many of the women of the race whom it can reach. The first year's work found in the missionary training department fifteen MRS N. H. BURROUGH. young women, four of whom were pledged to go to Africa on the completion of their studies and one to Haiti. Domestic science is taught, the value of which, as an economic asset, is impressed upon the students daily by the principal and teachers. Miss Burroughs is a pronounced advocate of the theory that if colored girls and women are to perform any portion of the domestic work in the families of the south and of the nation behooves them to be able to do it well enough to shut out any class of to be had in Chicago and second Mortgages laced in any company Branch Office CHICAGO, ILL. 722 3517 State Street competition. In this connection she is also pronounced in her ideas as to the proper conduct of young women and at the risk of considerable criticism from ultra extremists occasionally gives the women and girls with whom she comes in contact throughout the country some rather plain advice. The National Training school takes on a great work and as far as its limited apparatus will permit is "making good." In its curriculum room is left for pronounced instruction along these lines, not the least of which is temperance: "If we cannot put into office men who are opposed to saloons we can put out of the pulpit men who do not stand for temperance. If we cannot vote the saloon out of town we can vote the beer bucket and the whisky flask out of the home and out of the pocket." What has been done to secure the plant, which is already valued at upward of $20,000, has been done by the race, Miss Burroughs proceeding on the theory that it is better to demonstrate what the race can do for its own uplift before seeking outside aid. A Grasshopper Cure. Blake Hoggatt, the most tobacco chewing negro in these parts, says he has found a new way to exterminate grasshoppers. Blake says to catch a couple of the hoppers and pinch them on the legs until the muscles become sore. Then turn them loose. They will hop so queerly that all the other grasshoppers will die laughing. The hard part. Blake says, is to catch the two original grasshoppers after the others are all dead and kill them—Leesville (Colo.) Light. The Opium Habit In London After a thorough investigation the Pall Mall Gazette has come to the conclusion that the opium habit is shockingly prevalent among the working classes of London. One phase of the evil is the impregnating of cigarettes with opium, which, the Gazette asserts, "is rampant, especially among the mill girls of Lancashire, who find it irresistible as a solace and means of obtaining temporary relief from the weariness and pain attendant on a life of toil." The Boy Scout Movement. The boy scout movement has reached the Malay peninsula, and Singapore is to have a fine organization under the patronage of the governor and chief justice. It is a good thing in many ways, aside from the military training, and bids fair to become one of the permanent and most popular institutions of the peninsula. All through the British colonies boy scout organizations are being formed.—Consular Reports. To Cement Iron to Wood or Stone. (a) Over a coal fire mix together four parts black pitch, one part wax and one part brick dust; (b) four parts black pitch, one part each sulphur, iron filings or brick dust.—Scientific American. Shields For Soldiers. Experiments conducted in England suggest the possibility that shields may once more form an important part of the equipment of an army. Steel shields three millimeters in thickness and about 150 square inches in area have been devised, which afford complete protection against bullets fired from the service rifle at a range of 400 yards. The small size of the shield, which weighs only seven pounds, requires that the soldier shall lie prone on the ground in order to be sheltered. Each shield has a loophole for the rifle and studs at the sides, so that a series of them can be linked into a continuous screen. The idea is that by the use of such shields the necessity of digging trenches may often be avoided.—Harper's Weekly. An Indian God Rock There is a famous historical rock on the banks of the Allegheny river near Franklin, Venango county, known as the Indian God rock, which it is proposed to move to Franklin to insure its preservation. It is figured that the rock, which bears Indian hieroglyphics, weighs about 125 tons. It is believed that it can be lifted from its foundation in whole or in part by one of the railroad steam cranes and loaded on a car and taken to Franklin. It has been visited by thousands of persons, among them many scientific men, who have pronounced it an Indian relic of much historical worth. Philadelphia Record.
