BUSSE WARM TIMES ARE IN STORE FOR BOTH THE DEMOCRATIC It has been rather hard sledging for the big and the small fry politicians, in this city and county, for the past four months and they have scarcely had time to catch their breaths since the close of the contest Tuesday, November 8th, which date will long be remembered by the Republican pay roll brigade, nevertheless they are forced to oil up and otherwise get the machines in action, without delay for the mayoralty contest, which promises to be the greatest fight ever held among the politicians in Chicago. The primaries to nominate candidates for mayor, city clerk, city treasurer, and Aldermanic candidates, will be held on February 28th, 1911, and already the leading statesmen and politicians are dividing themselves off into warring factions and when the time arrives for the fighting to begin they will be in red hot shape to do battle to the death for their respective candidates. Carter H. Harrison, who has always stood well with his Colored brother in this big town, former mayor Edward F. Dunne, who is as honest as the day is long and who has a strong following among all classes of his fellow citizens, Andrew J. Graham, the successful west side banker, Charles F. Gunther, the wealthy wholesale candy merchant, John E. Traeger, vice-president of the Stockmen's Trust and Savings bank, Andrew M. Lawrence and Col. James Hamilton Lewis, are all in readiness to enter the contest on the Democratic side of the fence. And the wise politicians wink both eyes at the same time and say that ACTIVE PREPARATIONS FOR THE GRAND CHARITY BENEFIT BALL The Charity Benefit Ball will be given at the 7th Regiment Armory Monday evening, January 2nd, 1911, and will equal and in many respects surpass the event of last year. Plans are now under the preparation that promise to make this the leading social and financial event of the season. The parlors of the Appomattox Club have been secured for the patronesses and 100 ladies of Chicago's elite will be invited to the Club next Friday afternoon by the Chairman, Mrs. Wm. Emanuel to discuss the Social side of the affair. Numerous teas and luncheons will proceed the dance and each lady will have a personal part in making this event a Social success. The co-operation of the community clubs, societies and various organizations is solicited. The success of last year under excellent management was entirely due to the commendable manner in which the friends of the institutions responded to the call of Charity. The same hearty invitation is extended this time to join in and make this Benefit a Benefit in deed not a dress display or an advertising bureau, but let a neat sum be raised for worthy Charities. The amount to be strived for is $3,000.00. The Chairman says it can be easily raised. HEW TO THE LINE: LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY "in as much as Carter H. Harrison, will become the candidate of the followers of William Randolph Hearst, in this city, that the fight will narrow down at the primaries between the four times mayor or the "man of destiny" and Andrew J. Graham, who has been brought out into the running by his friends, and supporters, including Roger C. Sullivan, John McCarthy, Ex-mayor John P. Hopkins, George E. Brennan, Joseph H. Finn and others who claim that more than twenty-five thousand business men have come out in the open and signed up in favor of his candidacy for mayor. It will make not the slighest difference how the line up terminates, there is bound to be much scrapping and shooting along the firing line. Former Alderman Frank I. Bennett, ex-city attorney John F. Smulski, Walter L. Fisher, Thomas M. Kunter, Chief Balli of the Municipal court, or some other good Republican may make the race for mayor instead of Fred A. Busse, who plainly sees the hand writing on the wall, and at the present time he is afraid of his own shadow. One thing is dead certain and that is if the Democratic bosses have sense enough to refrain from permitting themselves to become effected with the swell or the big head and nominate a decent candidate for mayor and for the other offices, they can easily take possession of the city hall after the April election in 1911. So the indications are that warm times are in store for the high priests of both the Democratic and the Republican party. Advisory Committee. Mrs. Wm.

Augustus Straker Bar Association nith Judge Brown, led the successful Democratic ticket, and received fifty thousand more votes than Randall W. Burns, Judge Brown, should feel highly honored that he is not indebted in any way to the members of this so-called Bar Association for his election on Tuesday, November 8th.

She expressed great satisfaction with the dental services of Dr. Garnes and the electrical treatment of Dr. Harris, two of our young doctors, whom she also employed. While in the city Madame Hackley was the guest of Mrs. Edwin Mead, 6351 Vincentnes avenue, and Miss Fitzhugh was entertained by Mrs. Robert Davis. from Indiana; who employed Colored of the Appellate Court of that state. NEGRO CHAMPION NERVOUS WRECK. Jack Johnson, Fearing He May Do Harm, Gives Wife Charge of SAYS HE LOSES MEMORY. Physician Diagnoses Case as Prostation; Fighter to Stop Stage Work and Rest. Lowell, Mass., Nov. 17.—(Special.)—Jack Johnson, world's heavyweight champion, is suffering from nervous prostration. The big Colored champion loses his memory at times and fearing that he might do some harm he has had his wife take charge of his revolver. Johnson will fill his theatrical engagements this week, after which he will cancel his bookings and take a rest, prescribed by a doctor. He is using medicine now to keep him up through the week. "I'm not feeling right," said the "big fellow" in a surprising statement today. "The doctors tell me I've got nervous prostration. I never suspected that would strike me. "Saturday night at Lawrence I lost my memory. I could not seem to understand what was going on. I knew I was wrong and I told my wife to take my revolver as something told me I might do harm with it. Then I ran to the nearest cold water faucet and let water pour on my head. A doctor was called right away. "In Haverhill I felt so bad on Monday night that I cut out my monologue and limited myself to a boxing stunt. I attribute my condition to overwork. I haven't had a rest since my fight with Jeffries, and I suppose it's only natural that something should break. I'm going to take a long rest. I'm going to give up my world tour until I recover." The champion is expected home on Sunday, as his trunks and other luggage arrived at his south side residence yesterday. His folks are inclined to believe that his affliction is more serious than at first expected, and his mother has sent word to him to come home at once. Close friends of the champion have expected such a breakdown for a long time, and there are a number who believe Johnson will be deprived of the heavyweight title the next time he steps into the ring. The Race Relations In the United States. THE NEGRO'S INTOLERABLE CONDITION POINTED OUT BY PROFESSOR WILLIAM E. B. DUBOIS AND OTHER EMINENT AFRO-AMERICANS. DOCTOR BOOKER T. WASHINGTON'S OPTIMISTIC UTTERENCES REPUDIATED. STRONG APPEAL TO THE LIBERTY LOVING PEOPLE OF ENGLAND AND EUROPE. The following address by the National Negro Committee, is timely and it is worth anyone's time to read it: Headquarters National Negro Committee, 20 Vesey Street, New York, U. S. A., Oct. 26, 1910—To the People of Great Britain and Europe: The undersigned Negro-Americans have heard with great regret the recent attempt to assure England and Europe that their condition in America is satisfactory. They sincerely wish that such were the case, but it becomes their plain duty to say that if Mr. Booker T. Washington, or any other person, is giving the impression abroad that the Negro problem in America is in process of satisfactory solution, he is giving an impression which is not true. We say this without personal bitterness toward Mr. Washington. He is a distinguished American and has a perfect right to his opinions. But we are compelled to point out that Mr. Washington's large financial responsibilities have made him dependent on the rich charitable public and that, for this reason, he has for years been compelled to tell, not the whole truth, but that part of it which certain powerful interests in America wish to appear as the whole truth. In flat contradiction, however, to the pleasant pictures thus pointed out let us not forget that the consensus of opinion among eminent European scholars who know the race problem in America, from De Tocqueville down to Van Halle, De Laveleys, Archer and Johnston, is that it forms the gravest of American problems. We black men who live and suffer under present conditions and who have no reason, and refuse to accept reasons, for silence, can substantiate this unanimous testimony. Our people were emancipated in a whirl of passion, and then left naked to the mercies of their enraged and impoverished ex-masters. As our sole means of defense we were given the ballot, and we used it so as to secure the real fruits of the War. Without it we would have returned to slavery; with it we struggled toward freedom. No sooner, however, had we rid ourselves of nearly two-thirds of our illiteracy and accumulated $600,000,000 worth of property in a generation, than this ballot, which had become increasingly necessary to the defense of our civil and property rights, was taken from us by force and fraud. Today in eight states where the bulk of the Negroes live, black men of property and university training can be, and usually are, by law denied the ballot, while the most ignorant white man votes. This attempt to put the personal and property rights of the best of the Blacks at the absolute political mercy of the worst of the Whites is spreading each day. Along with this has gone a systematic attempt to curtail the education of the Black race. Under a widely advertised system of "universal" education, not one Black boy in three today has in the United States a chance to learn to read and write. The proportion of school funds due to Black children are often spent on Whites, and the burden on private charity to support education, which is a public duty, has become almost intolerable. In every walk of life we meet dis- No. 7 crimination, based solely on race and color, but continually and persistently misrepresented to the world as the natural difference due to condition. We are, for instance, usually forced to live in the worst quarters, and our consequent death rate is noted as a race trait, and reason for further discrimination. When we seek to buy property in better quarters we are sometimes in danger of mob violence or, as now in Baltimore, of actual legislation to prevent. We are forced to take lower wages for equal work, and our standard of living is then criticized. Fully half the labor unions refuse us a imitance and then claim that as "seab," we lower the price of labor. A persistent caste proscription seeks to force us and confine us to menial occupations where the conditions of work are worst. Our women in the South are without protection in law and custom, and are then derided as lewd. A widespread system of deliberate public insult is customary, which makes it difficult, if not impossible, to secure decent accommodation in hotels, railway trains, restaurants and theaters, and even in the Christian church we are in most cases given to understand that we are unwelcome unless segregated. Worse than all this is the willful miscarriage of justice in the courts. Not only have 3,500 Black men been lynched publicly by mobs in the last twenty-five years, without semblance or pretense of trial, but regularly every day throughout the South the machinery of the courts is used, not to prevent crime and correct the wayward among Negroes, but to wreak public dislike and vengeance and to raise public funds. This dealing in crime as a means of public revenue is a system well-nigh universal in the South, and while its glaring brutality through private lease has been checked, the ununderlying principle is still unchanged. Everywhere in the United States the old democratic doctrine of recognizing fitness wherever it occurs is losing ground before a reactionary policy of denying preferment in political or industrial life to competent men if they have a trace of Negro blood, and of using the weapons of public insult and humiliation to keep such men down. It is today a universal demand in the South that on all occasions social courtesies shall be denied any person of known Negro descent, even to the extent of refusing to apply the titles of "Mr." "Mrs." or "Miss." Against this dominant tendency strong and brave Americans, White and Black, are fighting, but they need, and need sadly, the moral support of England and of Europe in this crusade for the recognition of manhood, despite adventitious differences of race, and it is like a blow in the face to have one, who himself suffers daily insult and humiliation in America, give the impression that all is well. It is one thing to be optimistic, self-forgetful and forgiving, but it is quite a different thing, consciously or unconsciously, to misrepresent the truth. J. Max Barber, B.

WHERE IS HEAVEN DON'T KNOW. I don't know; the Bible doesn't tell and the preachers are arguing the question. How on earth would a human soul know which way to start to reach heaven, if such a locality existed? With the multitude of contradictory directions furnished him by the two hundred different religious denominations of Christendom, an ordinary individual hunting the way would no more find it than a Chicago detective could find a missing criminal, and the chances are that, unless St. Peter hung out a blue light on his gate nost, most of us would miss the way and fall into the other place and fry. Most people have a vague notion that the Christian heaven is somewhere up above. But "up" is any direction away from the globe, and as the world is moving a thousand miles a second, more or less, a spirit started up from Hong Kong when heaven was "up" from the United States, where would that spirit make a landing on such a course? Talmage was the only man who knew positively the exact location of heaven, but he never would tell, and as he has never been heard from since he left, nobody knows whether he got there or not. Sam Jones located the back door of hell just half a mile from each city in which he held a revival, but that didn't throw any light on heaven. Sam got so many back doors to Lucifer's fashionable winter resort that the prohibitionists got to sneaking out and playing hookey, and the Lord took Samuel home, so that everybody was satisfied. As to heaven, it remains a theological interrogation point. Col. Ingersoll knew a good deal, but he admitted that the whereabouts of the Christian heaven was a corker to him. I always admitted genial old Bob for his frankness in admitting he didn't know, because I felt that upon that point at least I was his intellectua equal.—Ross Winn. DON'T HIBERNATE: VENTIL ATE. The cold weather is again drawing near. The death rate from pneumonia and consumption will soon reach its maximum, as will the annual discomfort from coughs and colds. Therefore, now is the time to speak a word of warning—to repeat our previous exhortations. To keep well, to prevent pneumonia and tuberculosis, to save doctors, and possibly, undertakers' bills, we should see to it that we have plenty of fresh air at all times, awake or asleep. We have frequently spoken in these columns of the necessity for ventilation, and that the easiest way to provide for this is to lower the window a little from the top and raise it a little from the bottom. This should never be neglected. Besides this, we should see to it that we get exercise in the open air, exercise not only for our body, but for our breathing organs. The walk to and from work may be converted into a health-giving exercise which will accomplish untold good, if we fill our lungs with air, hold it as long as possible while we are walking, then exhale slowly. Soon it will be noticed that the breath can be held for a wonderfully long time, with a corresponding increase of the benefits derived, and the exercise thus taken will soon become a pleasure. Another thing which each one of us may do is to give five minutes night and morning to the taking-in of fresh air. This daily health "devotion" should not be neglected. Throw the window wide open and breathe deeply, at the same time raising the arms with hands outstretched, to the level of the shoulders, lowering the arms as the breath is exhaled. With the mortality figures from the bad-air diseases mounting higher as the cold weather comes on, with the untold misery and suffering entailed, to say nothing of the money loss to the nation, it is up to the people themselves to promote good health and long life by individual effort. Let each of us begin at once. E. GREENSTEIN AN UP-TO-DATE TAILOR. Suita Made To Order for $15 and Up. For fine up-to-date tailoring, E.

AND ERSON WITHOUT MONEY MADE A HEROIC FIGHT TO SAVE THE LIFE OF THOMAS JENNINGS. If Judge Kavanagh Refuses to Grant a New Trial the Case will be Appealed to the Supreme Court. No lawyer in Chicago, without money ever made a better fight in the courts in this county, to save the life of those they defended, than Attorney William G. Anderson has made before Judge Kavanagh, to save the life of Thomas Jennings, who was canvicted the latter part of last week, for killing Clarence Hiller, of Morgan Park. Mr. Anderson is of the opinion that Thomas Jennings is not guilty of committing the crime he is charged with committing. And with this opinion firmly platted in his mind Mr. Anderson, without money spent more than eight days of his time, in court, and he is still willing to go ahead without expecting to receive anything, but glory for his valuable legal services and if those who are interested in the case can see their way clear to raise some money, say two to two hundred and fifty dollars, he will appeal the case to the Supreme Court.

In a talk to white Atlanta ministers a Colored preacher asked that influence be used to improve public school facilities for the Negroes. He said the Negro school children of Atlanta number 10,000 and he declared 5,081 of the number are out of school. "The Negroes of this city pay $10,000 for education of their children," he stated, "that the whites get free."—Ex. J. R.

Bergen, who put Alderman Roberts, to sleep last spring in the 31st ward; stands well with all classes of lab constituents and the Colored people in his neck of the woods, are all sounding his praises, for reason of the fact that he does not deal out any false taffy to them, but talks straight from the shoulder.

A DRESDEN SHEPHERDESS. The Wolf That Saw Her and Made Her His Own. By F. B. WRIGHT. It had been a hard day for the little schoolmistress. The children had been stupid and mutinous and at the worst time had come a supervisor to criticise the lack of discipline. Miss Winthrop was too young, he had said. Perhaps the board should get a more experienced teacher. What that meant Cleely did not dare to think, and now, crouched in the darkness by the garret window, she was trying to forget her worries, for there were to be a garden party and masquerade at the Stonington place near by. From the window she could overlook the grounds, all a-twinkle with innumerable Japanese lanterns; see the house itself, its lighted porches, its windows lively with many colored passing figures, and watch the ladies arriving at the entrance and floating in like white moths out of the summer night. At first it was enough just to sit there, head on sill, watching it all and hearing the swing and rhythm of the faint dance music. But little by little came over her a longing to have some part in the gayety her whole young spirit craved. She was young too. She was pretty, as her mirror told her. She had loved dancing in the old days. Ah, those days! They seemed so far off, and yet only two years separated them from the present. Now life was so different—no more girlhood, no more pleasure, no more pretty clothes or jolly parties. That last one, the one just before her father died—that had been a bal masque too. The costume was in her trunk now—as if she would ever get the chance to wear it again! And yet why not? A sudden thought set her heart thumping. Why not go to this one? Only for a moment. It was a masquerade. No one would know her. She could slip in through the shrubbery unobserved, mingle with the crowd and then— The plan was very dazzling to the little girl in the garret window. Two hours later Cicely—no, not Cicely, but a Dresden china shepherdess—who had stolen away from her own life and forgotten all its cares, found herself one of a hundred or two other gay, fantastic conundrums, who chatted, laughed, banded reparsee, flirted in obscure corners, sat on shadow porches or glided beneath soft lights to the dreamy music of a hidden orchestra. The life and movement, the kaleidoscopic play of color, the sheen and luster of silk and satin, the gleam of snowy arms and shoulders, the fragrance of flowers, the admiration of her partners, filled the girl's heart with delight, and her courage rose to the occasion. She was surprised to find how behind the protection of her mask she could act her part even as if she, too, belonged to the party. Once in the swirl of a waltz she caught sight of herself in a long mirror and doubted her eyes. Could that be she, that dainty, graceful madcap with her cheeks flushed, her eyes sparkling through the slits in her visor, her hair in golden disorder at her neck —that Cleely Winthrop, with her own living to make and shabby clothes to wear? And the music—it seemed to lift her on its wings and bear her over the floor as lightly as any thirstledown. That was what her last partner had said, a cavalier of Charles II, when at the end of a dance they were sitting in the dimly lighted conservatory. "Thistledown! I believe that's what you are, or else a fairy. No shepherdess could dance as you do, not even one out of Watteau, and, besides, where are your sheep? You haven't even one little innocent snow white lamb." "I've escaped for a moment from them." "Faithless shepherdess! Aren't you afraid of wolves?" "Awfully! One came into the sheep-fold today, a very savage one." "The poor lambs! My heart bleeds"—"It needn't. It only eat shepherdesses." "The brutes! Do you have to fight them single handed?" Clearly nodded. "It's hard sometimes." "Don't you need an assistant shepherd to help? I like to kill wolves, and I adore sheep and—shepherdesses." "You wouldn't if you could see them as they really are. The lambs are not a bit adorable, only stupid and tiresome, and the shepherdess—she'd be wearing a shabby gown and big shoes and her hair untied. No; you'd best remain with the court." "Hang the court! I'd heaps rather be a shepherd. Won't you take me on trial?" There was just a note of earnestness in the cavaller's voice, and Cicely tried to turn it away lightly. "I don't think you would do at all. You are much too fine a gallant." "I may not be as fine as I seem," he returned. "I may be something quite different." "That's it. You might be a wolf, you know, and then what would happen to my flock? No; I can't take the risk." "Then when is the shepherdess coming to court again?" "Never, I'm afraid. You see, she's only allowed one evening off in years, and, besides, she has no court costume. Oh, this—a fairy godmother touched the shabby, gown and the big shoes, and when the night is over they change back as they were." "And the girl?" "Oh, she will be whisked away too." "Not before unmasking time comes anyway. There is the signal now," he said as a chime of bells rang in the distant hall, followed by the sound of laughter. "Ah, you are caught, fairy shepherdess! Now disappear if you can." He dragged off his mask and waited expectant, looking at the girl. Cicely felt the blood rush to her face. "I must go," she said hurriedly and rose. "I didn't know it was so late." "Go! Why, you know you promised me supper, and"— "I didn't think. I forgot for a moment. No, I must." "Without unmasking?" "I can't. Don't ask me why. There are reasons. Oh, I can't explain. Please let me get away!" she cried, for the man had stepped before the door. Clearly cast a hurried glance about. She spied a door leading into the garden, and before the cavalier could guess her intention she had fled through it blindly into the night, he after her. She did not know where she run not care. Her only thought was to escape discovery, to get away home before exposure came. On she fled, across the lawn, into the shadow of the shrubberry, tripping over roots, held back by clinging vines, her mask brushed from her face, her breath giving out and discovery and shame at her heels. Then she tried to find some hiding place and, falling, sank down on a bench, with a blitter, despairing cry, and buried her face in her hands. "Why did you run? You might have known you couldn't escape me," said her pursuer as he came up. Then as he heard the girl's sobs. "Are you hurt?" "Yes, yes," she sobbed. "but not as you think! Oh, why did I ever come? How am I to tell you? What will you think of me? I ought not to be here tonight. I am not a guest. I had no right to come." It was a confession punctuated by sobs and little gasps of pain that the cavaller listened to. "I saw the lights," Cicely added, "and then the waltz music came to me, and I couldn't resist it. I thought there'd be no harm—just for an hour, and then I could go back and no one would know, and I could have one pleasant memory among dreary, drudging days. I'm—I'm not so very old, and I haven't had any pleasure or happiness in so long, and this was a chance, and I took it." She rose and dried her eyes. "You see, I told you the truth. I'm only a shepherdess and had no place in court, and now I must go back to the sheep and the wolves again. It's been—I can't tell you what this evening has been—except this last." "Do you care so much, then, that I know who you are?" The cavallier was standing beside the shepherdess, looking down at the bent head showing so softly in the dusky shadows. "I would have sought you out in any case—if I had to search the world over. Do you care now that I know?" "No," returned Clcely softly. "And I may come tomorrow and see the lambs—and the shepherdess." "I don't think it will." He will bury cheaper than the trust P. M. Large Chapel free to our patrons.

"Not if it was a nice wolf." "And if the wolf were to carry you off and the lambs have to have another shepherdess would you be very much scared?" asked the cavalier. What's the Odds?

The tenors and sopranos and the harb- tones would roar Its melody, so soulful, yet polite. It was just a simple ditty of a style that was the rage. Until the ragtime warble blocked its game. Ah, make do I recall the words upon the title page— "The Letter That He Longed For Never Came!" How often has my sympathy gone forth unto that lay Until I thought about the discontent Of many a careless person who is mourn- lag to this day 'Oer the letter that he wished he hadn't sent! That missive undelivered, though a matter for regret Unto the one of whom the poet wrote. If it had been received, perchance, would make its writer fret When lawyers came selected bits to quote. Tis safer in the office where dead letters have to go If it was something penned with heart alame. And now to some one it may be a great relief to know That the letter which was longed for never came. The epithets endearing and the choice but ardent rhyme. Though most delightful when sincerely meant May undergo strange transformations in the course of time And be letters that you wish you hadn't see. "How?" was the indignant duet.

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 obscured shadowing and glorious success. It unified the forces of the Union. It threw into despairing forces new life. It brought into the armies of the Union as by magic 100,000 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 smatterer. He was a profound reasoner. In him he inspired and understood the constitution of his country. He did not issue a proclamation for sport or to be bootted 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 captured the heart of the history of the republic like the breaking of slavery shackles from the souls and bodies of the American bondmen. It affected the American 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 proscription, has had time enough to show himself a blessing or a curse. Have the conditions of freedom been assimilated to 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. Its legislatures cannot enact a law, its courts render a decision, its political parties gain a victory, without considering him. He is a permanent element of American life, bringing him well being, because he is Christian and progressive; not vicious, because he is industrious and rapidly becoming intelligent; not a pauper, because he is a taxpayer on over $800,000,000 in property. One of the most 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. The 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 rise on his merits 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, straightforward course that shows him to be welcoming, honest, industrious, virtuous and insistent. 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. St. Barnabas Men's Guild Happen. The first meeting for the fall of the men's guild of St. Barnabas' Protestant Episcopal church, Brooklyn, was held on Tuesday evening, Oct. 4. President J. A. Thompson presided, and after the formal welcome to the members and visitors the literary program was rendered. The speaker of the evening was Owen M. Waller, M. D., whose subject was "The New Forward Movement" Others who took part in the program were Alfred E. Miss Lillian Jeter, Miss Mary E. McClane, Charles Waters, Amos Guerrant and Mme. Marguerite Randall. THE BOUQUET OF WINE Bismarck Wanted Champagne Barrels aa War Indemnity. Germany's governmental policy is to encourage the exports of brain, labor, sunshine, air and water. 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 be thought 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 superal 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. 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. 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 forly third years of her reign, when "yt was found that in bread, beare, wyne, wood, coles, wax lights, torches, tallow lights and meetes and other allowances of incidents, necessaries, carriages and wages £12,000 ($80,000) per annum at least more was spent and no sufficient warrant for the increase. The queene's majestie being informed of this difference said: 'I will not suffer this dishonorable spoile and increase that no prince ever before me did. But my speedie order for reformacion shall satisfy my loving subjects, for I will end as I beganne with my subjects' love.' No Wonder. The ancients thought that world was flat. I'm really not surprised at that; We'd find it flat, I dare to say. If we were living in their day. Just think, they had no autos then, No show girls to delight the men, No pipes to smoke and no cigars, No cocktails served at handsome bars, No bridge to play and no pink tea, No liners speeding 'o'er the sea, No yellow journals and no flatts, No monuments, no picture hats, No tariff problems to attack, No gown that button up the back, No and seat hats with manners rude, No monkeying with the price of food, No ice bells, no cold storage eggs, No hunky stedera and no yeggs, No trolley cars with clang and whir, No Teddy to keep things astir- Bay, is it any wonder that uight the world was in -Vancouver Province A.

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 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 MISS N. H. BURROUGHS 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 it behoves them to be able to do it well enough to shut out any class of Branch Office 3517 State Street 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 $20,000, has been done by the race. Miss Burroughs proceeding on the theory that it is better to demonstrate what the race can do for its unplift before seeking outside aid. A Grasshopper Cure. Blake Hoggatt, the most tobacco chewing negro in these parts, says he has found a new way to exterminate grasshoppers. Blake says to catch a couple of the hoppers and pinch on the legs until the muscles become sore. Then turn them loose. They will hop so queerly that all the other grasshoppers will die laughing. The hard part, Blake says, is to catch the two original grasshoppers after$^2$ the others are all dead and kill them—Leesville (Colo.) Light. The Opium Habit In London. 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 Scouts 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.

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.
