Simms THE MUSICAL CRITIC FOR THE SUNDAY. DISPATCH OF COLUMBUS, OHIO. Praises the Musical Ability of Madam E. Azalia Hackley. Thursday, evening, May 18th, Madam E. Azalia Hackley, appeared in concert, in Market Hall, Columbus, Ohio, and Mrs. Ella May Smith, musical critic for the Sunday Dispatch of Columbus, who is also a musician and teacher praised Madam Hackley, for her musical ability in the following glowing manner. "Bethany Baptist church presented Madame El Azalia Hackley, soprano, in a concert Thursday evening, in Market Hall. She is undoubtedly the most cultivated musician of her race in America. She is a woman of good height, commanding presence, not nearly so dark in complexion as Madame Gerville-Reache, and a musician to her finger tips. She played all her own accompaniments, prefaced her songs with pleasing descriptions, and gave a series of exceedingly interesting demonstrations. Madame Hackley has many enviable possessions quite aside from her splendid musical gifts, which include all attractive and graceful stage presence, a very pleasant speaking voice, and a strong sense of humor. These remarkable qualities fit her admirably for her "Representative Forms of Government"; "The Negro's Political Future," Louis B. Anderson; "The Negro As A Factor In Republican Politics," George W. Ellis; "Party Harmony," B. F. Moseley; "Building For the Future," Dr. George C. Hall; "Good Citizenship," Dr. Allen A. Wesley; "Men Are Not Equal," Major Robert R. Jackson; "Our Profession," J. Gray Lucas; "The Colored Soldiers," Col John R. Marshall; "Hon. Edward D. Green," Alderman George F. Harding; "Hon. Edward D. Green, and Col C. Dewey," Charles T. Mason; "Guy Guernsey," Oscar De Priest; "Hon. Edward D. Green," Guy Guernsey; "The Signs of the Times," D. B. Robinson; "Hon. Edward D. Green," Samuel Trude. Mr. Green, the honored guest of the evening, very eloquently delivered the last toast and at considerable length he reviewed the efforts he put forth in behalf of assisting to enact some of the best legislation that has so far been placed on the statute books of Illinois, and when he concluded his interesting review of the workings of the legislature of this great state, he was given three hearty cheers, and it was freely admitted by everyone present that he had more than proven himself to be one of the best law-makers that has ever been elected to the legislature of Illinois. Letters of regret were read from Major John C. Buckner, William D. Jefferson, and Col. C. Dewey. The banquet committee was as follows: P. W. Upshaw, president; William H. Terrell, vice president; Gene Compson, treasurer; Charles H. Thornton, secretary; D. R. Robinson, assistant secretary, and J. H. Wright, general manager. It was an enjoyable affair in every way and each and everyone of those who attended it honored themselves by honoring Edward D. Green. work as singer, teacher and illustrator of methods. "Madame Hackley was a student in Paris taught there as well as studied and also taught in London. Her experience has been invaluable, and every lever of music American or Afro-American might hear her with profit to themselves. She is mistress of all the embellishments known to the vocal art, and has very clear, intelligent and original ideas on the placement of voices. Her songs were sung with all the artistry of the finished singer. "The concert was in every way worthy of the highest praise and it is a matter of regret that all Columbus music lovers might not have the privilege of hearing Madame Hackley, who undoubtedly is the first of her people to make her way by sheer merits to the rank of the best vocal artists. It is very greetifying to state that Madam Hackley, has met with phenomenal success, during her extended tour through the Southern states, at this writing she is in Topeka, Kans., June 6, she will appear in a concert and recital at Omaha, Neb., June 8, she will delight the music lovers of Des Moines, Iowa, with her sweet singing, and on Saturday, June 10; she will arrive in this city and remain until June 21, while in it she will be the guest of Mrs. M.

[Name] Member of the Legislature of Illinois, Who Was Tendered a Testimonial Banquet by Some of His Warm Friends At the Pekin Inn Cafe, Tuesday Evening, May 23. COLORED ASPIRANTS FOR FEDERAL JOBS ARE CAMPAIGNING. counsel represented the city or the relator. Mr. Scott put up a great fight an Minister to Haiti and Auditor of Navy Berths Much Desired. (Special to The Broad Ax.) Washington, D. C., May 24.—Animated politics has broken out recently among the Colored aspirants for Federal jobs of Washington and elsewhere. The resignation of Harry S. Furniss, of Indiana, a Colored man who has for some time been minister to Haiti, has caused keen competition for his osition. Furniss is said to have incurred the dislike of the Haitian President, because he made some remarks reflecting on the inquiscriminate way in which the government was engaged in executing folks that were of the antigovernment persuasion. The former Register of the Treasury, W. T. Vernon, is seeking the mission to Haiti. Prof. William E. B. DuBols formerly of Atlanta, now of New York, is another aspirant. One of the interesting questions in connection with the appointment is how much influence Booker T. Washington will exercise. Dr. Washington has brought on himself no end of bitter criticism from his enemies among his own people by the recent trouble he had in New York. They are still lambasting him, for his misadventure there, which resulted in getting him into the limestone in a disagreeable way; and they are using it to undermine his political influence. The Colored politicians are about as much wrought up over the question of who will succeed Auditor Ralph Tyler, of the navy, as they are over the office of minister to Haitt, Tyler wants to be reappointed. His term will end in July. He is now out in his State trying to organize support that will insure him being kept in office. He has a lot of opposition from among Colored residents of Washington. JUDGE McDONALD WOULD NOT SEND L. O. V. EVERHAFT BACK TO MISSISSIPPI. The past week Judge McDonald devoted much time to hearing the case of the People of Illinois ex rel. L. O. V. Everhart vs. Sheriff Michael Zimmer, Assistant State's Attorney James A. Scott and Howard M. Hempel represented the, complaining witness, and Lee D. Matthias assistant corporation counsel represented the city or the relator. Mr. Scott put up a great fight and cited many important cases like unto the case then at bar, which unmistakably tended to clearly prove that the court would be justified in turning L. O. V. Everhart over to the sheriff of Monroe County, Mississippi, so that he could be returned to that state and be tried in its courts for his alleged misdeeds. But Judge McDonald could not see it that way so he discharged the relator. Mr. Scott and Mr. Mathias frequently locked horns while presenting the various important legal propositions in connection with the case, to the court. And for a long time it was hard to tell which way the legal cat would jump. Finally is sprang over to the side of Mr. Mathias and L. O. V. Everhart, walked out of court a free man, to the delight of a few of his friends who were present at each session of his trial. Oklahoma "Grandfather Clause" Invalid, U. S. Judge Rules. CALLS IT BLOW AT RACE. Would Exclude Descendants of Those Barred Prior to 1866. Oklahoma City, Okla., May 21. Holding the "grandfather clause" amendment to the state constitution invalid because it is in violation of the fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution, Judge John H. Cotteral of the United States District court today overruled the demurrer of defendants in the case of the United States vs. J. J. Beal and Frank Guinn, D. W. Jeffries and Willard Smith, election officers. To make the subjection of certain individuals to the 'educational test' dependent on their condition before 1866 would make it dependent on their race and color, the court held. The "grandfather clause" exempts from the "educational test" those ancestors who were entitled to vote on Jan. 1, 1866, or whose ancestors were residents of a foreign country. Under this clause Negroes were denied the right to vote. Judge Otteral, 's all right, for he has had the courage to deal a body alive into the "grandfather clause" and Oldbury. Booker T. Washington Not Regarded as An Asset of the Afro-American Race HE IS IN BAD WITH HIS OWN PEOPLE, DECLARED JOSEPH C. MANNING OF ALABAMA IN A LECTURE AT LINCOLN CHURCH, BROCKTON, MASS. THE WIZARD OF TUSKEGEE IS BEING USED BY THE MONEYED CLASS TO RE-ENSLAVE THE NEGRO AS WELL AS THE WHITE MAN. HE IS AN ADVOCATE OF THE POLICY "TO LET THE SOUTH ALONE" AND PERMIT IT TO SETTLE ITS RACE PROBLEM IN ITS OWN WAY. Joseph C. Manning, ex-member of the legislature of Alabama, who has for many years been prominent in all the public affairs of that state, has in the past and the present time continues to deliver many able and manly speeches in behalf of the Colored people of the country, especially in the South, addressed a large audience at the Lincoln Congregational church Sunday evening. A feature of his remarks was the reference to Booker T. Washington, whom he considered has not been and is not an aid or an asset to the Colored people of this country. His clearly stated assertions regarding the condition, the privileges, or rather, lack of privileges of the Colored people of the south in politics, through the schemes and male-factions of designing white men show a political condition that the people of the north have never realized. Mr. Manning got right down to business at the start. He uses little figurative language and his statements come out in sharp and concise fashion that compels the attention of the listener from the first. That he understands the problem on which he talks is never doubted from the start and the store of logic that shows in his statements is absolutely convincing. His movements are quick, thoroughly earnest, and he emphasizes his assertions with energetic motions of his right hand. He won the confidence of his audience before he had talked three minutes and as he progressed the listeners enthused in the knowledge that they had such a mm in the support of their cause. "This issue in the south is a national problem and knowing the conditions as I do, I am trying to make the people of the north realize what the condition of politics is in the south and to know the seriousness of the situation. It is popularly believed that the big majority of white voters in the south are Democrats. The opposition vote to the Democratic party, the white votes, and the black vote has been kept down through frauds of many kinds. Ballot-box stuffing and other things have been resorted to by the Democrats, causing the adoption of a new system, whereby the tricks of that party could be met and overcome. The conditions demanded this. "In the last presidential election, out of the 300,000 white men in the state of Alabama over 21 years of age, but 125,000 were qualified voters. Of the 200,000 Colored men of voting age, less than 3000 of them were at the polls to vote. It is not enough. The last governor of Alabama was elected on a ballot showing about 75,000 votes whereas there are, combining whites and blacks, 500,000 male citizens in the state of voting age. The last presidential election showed 12 southern states voting for the democracy on a total vote from these states of less than 1,200,000, which is 800,000 less than the total of Colored men of voting age alone, saying nothing of the 4,000,000 whites." Regarding Booker T. Washington and his policies, Mr. Manning expressed himself as follows: "I have put myself on record and here repeat that Booker T. Washington has not been and is not an aid or an asset to the Colored people of this country. I do not question his ability, I will not renounce on his similarity, but I do as Washington An Asset of the American Race POPLE, DECLARED JOSEPH C. A LECTURE AT LINCOLN CHURCH, BEING USED BY THE MONEYED NEGRO AS WELL AS THE WHITE ICY "TO LET THE SOUTH ALONE" E ITS RACE PROBLEM IN ITS OWN assert that he is working an injury to the Colored people. He is being used by those who have an object to accomplish in the furtherance of their ends. His policy of 'Let the South Alone' is altogether wrong. Anyone who understands the condition of the Negro in the south today knows that no 'let it alone' portery will work a betterment. "Washington is given credit for the betterment of the Colored people in the south and for improvements they have shown in recent years. As a matter of fact, there were Colored doctors, Colored lawyers and Colored store-keepers long before Booker T. Washington came forward. There were Colored men in the city councils, in the state houses and in congress at Washington. I assert that the Colored people have lost ground the country over through the work of Washington. "It was not many, ears ago that white men enslaved the Negro. Now some of these white men, bent on bossism, are using the Negro to aid in the enslaving of other white men. This is in the form of ballot-box stuffing that is looming up in Alabama. I am glad that I am of the common people, for it is they who fight the world's battles, create the world's wealth in times of peace and in both cases have reaped too little in the benefits of their toll." Of himself, Mr. Manning said: "What I am doing is for the benefit of the south. I am a southerner and I want to do what I can for the betterment of that part of the country. By certain factions, there is no man who is more thoroughly hated than I am for the stand I have taken to increase and improve on the voting privilege of the Colored people, I think I am the first white man to come out in opposition to the 'let the south alone' policy. I have made many speeches in the south and since I have come north. I have been well received and have spoken before many prominent organizations, among them being the Republican club of New York and the Union league of Philadelphia, as well as many lesser organizations. "But I have taken this matter up because I am of the south, I have lived among the conditions and have seen them. The Negro should vote. The same God that created the white man created the black man and God intended, I believe, that every man should have equal opportunity under the law to protect his own. I have made some pretty definite charges against the Bourbon democracy and I have been sustained by the Federal authorities after investigations, but certain localities in the south were made pretty hot for me as a result. To critics who have condemned me in my work, I have always replied as I now say to you, 'What I am doing is for the sake of the south itself.'"—From the Times, Brockton, Mass., May 22, 1911.

DIAMOND DUST Last Sunday there was no game on account of rain. A large number of fans were caught enroute to the Park. Today and tomorrow the Leland Giants will play the Pekin Tigers of Cleveland, Ohio, one of the tentative Clubs composing the National Negro Baseball League of America, aside from the fact that the Tigers are a fast bunch of splendid athletes and will play a pretty game. It is the duty of every Negro in town who loves the sport to attend and encourage by his presence the formation of the National League and thus put Negro baseball upon a par with the National and American League Clubs. There is no other Park in the city nor any other Club with a Park in the city that is owned and operated by our people save the Leland Giants and their Park at 69th & Halsted street. All race loving and race building men and women should and will frequent this Park to the exclusion of others. The Leland Giants Boosters had planned for a big day last Sunday. All the officers of the Club were on hand at the Burlington, 2918 State ready to make the run in their Red Devil Touring Car to $9th and Halsted, when an attempt and the trip had to be abandoned on account of the rain that followed soon after and thus the many members of the Boosters Club and their lady friends who were going to accompany them were compelled to call a hasty meeting and it was decided that a ukase be issued by President Bolling for next Sunday, tomorrow. The Pekin Tigers can go some, they have beat some of the best teams of the South and West and intend to put one over today, but Capt. Harris, says Wickware, and Campbell, Lindsay and Jones with Strathers and Talbert forms an infield through which a ball cannot escape and should it ever reach the outfield Hardy, Bones and Johnson will eat it up so by all means obey the command of the Boosters Club and be on hand. Boostera Ukase I, Jess F. Bolling, by the enthusiasm, pleasure and excitement that fills me on account of the honor thrusted upon me by the Boosters of Chicago, I hereby command all Boosters in good standing to assemble at 2 p. m. Sunday, May 28th, 1911 at 2918 State street with proper regalia and 16 warhoops concealed in their system to be let loose at 69th and Halsted when the Lefands make their first score, route to be via Red Devil Auto with T. W. Allen on the look out? Buster Henderson in charge of the rear section and Romeo Loving in charge of the Ladies brigade of Boosters. Fall not by order of Jess F. Bolling, President, attest T. W.

Buster and Mrs. Henderson representing the Leland Giants Boosters and Secretary and Treasurer B. F. Moseley taken luncheon at the Pekin Gate Sunday evening. With Mr. and Mrs. Henderson were a party of friends and they all regretted the rain which prevented the game but promised to be in full force next Sunday tomorrow to see the Giants put one over the Pekin Tigers of Cleveland, Ohio. dinner and drop by the Burlington enroute home. The Leland Giants Booster Club meets every Saturday and Sunday night full attendance expected. On motion of Mr. Allen Altred, the fine of $90000 million imposed by President Bolling upon Editor Julius F. Taylor and Treasurer B. F. Moseley for failure to attend the Boosters' meeting last Saturday was suspended. Misses Jennie Stakes, Nellie Robinson and Mrs. Gertrude Butler are applicants for membership in the Leland Giants Booster Club and will be initiated Sunday at the game. If they do not ask any trying questions when the bases are full and two game. Mr. R. H. Payne will entertain the boosters to night. Don't fall to be present. —"J." "WHY NOT TELL THE TRUTH?" Editor of The Broad Ax:— There appeared an article in The News, Record-Herald, and Tribune, Saturday, May 20, 1911, stating that the Negroes of the 2nd Ward composing the organization known as, "The Carter H. Harrison, Central Club of Colored Voters, held an indignation meeting at 2819 So. State street, condemning Carter H. Harrison and the Democratic Party. Now I wish to say as one who convinced so many Colored Voters that it was better for us as a race to vote for Carter H.Harrison and the Democratic Party, and as President of the above named organization, that no such meeting, was held in the Second Ward; on the contrary The Executive Board met me in joint session, Monday evening, May 15, 1911, and decided that since we were thoroughly organized in the Precincts, Wards and County, that we could and must do more effective work among our Republican friends for the furtherance of the Mayor and the Democratic Party. No; I am frank to say that unless some unexpected change, that the majority of the Colored voters of the Second Ward, will again vote with me, not only for the City and County, but for the next Democratic Governor and the President of these United States. R. L. JACKSON, President of the Carter H. Harrison Central Club of Colored Voters of the Second Ward. May 22nd, 1911. AN ALL STAR COLORED VAUDE VILLE BILL AT THE PEKIN THEATER. Beginning on Monday, May 29th, another unique feature bill will be offered at the Pekin. The management has recured an all Star Colored vaudeville bill for the weeks programme. This should prove most interesting and is the only program of its kind that has been arranged for a vaudeville performance for a regular bill since the Colored artists have become foremost in the vaudeville field. The acts have been selected because of the difference one from the other and a most pleasing entertainment should result. The famous Byron Musical family in an entire new set of selections will head the bill, with Perrin & Crosby in their charming singing and dancing number, an act new to Chicago will be shown the Owesley Bros. who have an offering presenting the old fashioned Colored King. Clayborn Jones, the Zulu King, with his well known specialty. Beside five other well known and pleasing acts will complete this unique bill for the coming week which should prove very interesting and pleasing to the patrons of the Pekin. At this season the house is most attractive ewing to its fine system of cooling and its open sides makes an evening at the show most comfortable notwithstanding the heat of the evening. No doubt a strong attendance will turn out to see the All Star Bill of Colored artists. WALTERS A. M. E. ZIION CHURCH, 28th and Dearborn Sts. Rev. H. J. Collins, Pastor.

THE WOMAN'S AID ENTERTAIN MENT AT OAKLAND MUSIC HALL WAS A FINANCIAL SUCCESS Monday evening, May 22d, the Woman's Aid, for the benefit of the Old Folks' Home; presented the one-act drama, "Scenes In The Union Deopt", at Oakland Music Hall, under the direction of Mrs. M. V Deatherage. About 25 persons took part in the program, and as many of them were well known, to those composing the audience, considerable amusement was created by those represeting the various characters. Doctor A. Wilberforce Williams, was the depot master, and he was on to his job at all times, and many of the ladies were cruel enough to whisper it around among themselves that they thought he was getting ready to engage in the railroad business. The whole performance was very good and considerable talent along dramatic lines was displayed at all times. Dancing followed, and about $75, over and above all expenses, was realized for the Old Folks' Home. It was a very pleasant affair and Mrs. A. Wilberforce Williams and the other ladies composing the Woman's Aid deserve much credit for the success which followed their efforts in this respect. THERE IS NO FUTURE LIFE. Even superstitionists sometimes have doubts about a future life. Think of the sorrow they show when death robs them of some one near and dear. They exhibit the same signs of grief as those who know that there is no life to come. Are we not forced to conclude that they do not believe what they profess with their lips, or that the promises of superstition fail while they are most needed? If superstitionists really believe that their dead friends have gone from suffering to an eternal happiness, which they themselves hope at some time to share, "stead of weeping, they should rejoice. But the humanity of their hearts belies the superstition of their heads. Death Ends All. There is no gainsaying this great scientific discovery that death ends life forever. This is important truth strikes at the very root of religious superstition. As there can be no future life for man it follows of necessity that there is no heaven, no purgatory, no hell. Souls, spirits, ghosts, devils and angels do not exist—The Truth About God. ZION FORUM The Forum met in regular session Tuesday, President Jas. N. Harris in the chair.

The most important feature of this annual meeting will be the competitive drill of the Ladies' auxiliary drill corps, of which there are three—Prudent Penn of Philadelphia, Ladies' auxiliary No. 2 of New York and the Military auxiliary and drill corps of Patrarchie No. 78 of Atlantic City. This being the first contest in the history of the regiment, Atlantic City will have the honor of presenting the flag to the winner. The official committee, of which Colonel J. Clinton Edwards of Major General Ford's staff is the chairman, has secured the famous Young's ocean pier for the drill and military reception. Dr. Jackson, ex-treasurer of the lodges of the state of Alabama, but now pastor of the Price Memorial church, will be the orator of the memorial service of the regiment, which will be held Monday evening.

The business session of the regiment will be held on the morning of the 31st at 10 o'clock at Odd Fellows' hall. The parade will start from the corner of Ohio avenue and proceed to the pier for the competitive drill, after which the visitors will be given the freedom of the city. The exhibition drill of the successful patriarchie and auxiliary will be given at 10 p. m. Lieutenant Lewis Tyler, inspector of the local patriarchie, and brother officers will act as personal escort to the grand master, who has been especially invited to attend. Professor Charles Smith, the famous master of social session of the Elks and manager of the Cosmopolitan dancing class at Fitzgerald's auditorium, and his corp of assistants will have charge of the floor. Professor William R. Thomas, one of the leaders of the resort's musical organizations, will furnish music for the occasion, while the regimental band for the parade will be under the direction of George H. Craig. Colonel J. Clinton Edwards, who is now on a tour of the southern states, before returning for the field day festivities will visit Charleston, Columbia and Orangeburg, S. C. Baltimore and Washington. He is traveling in the interest of Atlantic City and its growing popularity as a place to hold conventions and other noted assemblies of the race. The Atlantic City Weekly Topic's office, 1908 Arctic avenue, the official headquarters of the field day committee, will send the names of all visitors who attend to their home papers free of charge during this great and grand affair. New York's Foremost Race Journal. New York's Forensic Mass Journal. The Amsterdam News, less than a year and a half old, has gone steadily forward until it is now recognized as New York's foremost race journal, says the Pennacola (Fla.) Sentinel. It stands for the people and believes in fair play for all interests. Its phenomenal success is due to its broad and liberal policy and its stance adherence to the right. The Negro will deserve the respect of the world in proportion as he supports such progressive organs as the Amsterdam News. "Upon the success of the Leland Giants this year depends the Negro continuance as a factor in the baseball arena. Their Park is the only Park in the city operated and controlled by Negroes. This should be sufficient for every Negro to attend the games at this Park." B. F.

The killed and injured by accidents in London streets number nearly 10,000 a year. Of these 200 are killed on the spot.

Ether. Ether as an anaesthetic was used by Dr. Jackson for the first time in 1846. Cooking Beats One must be careful not to break the skin of beets and not to cut their tops off too close lest the juice flow out and leave the beet colorless and tasteless. Asia Minor. Most of the people living in the villages and towns of Asia Minor know nothing about remedies of any kind except the few made of roots and herbs growing near by, and a physician's services are rarely called for; consequently the mortality among the people is very great. In the larger cities and communities on the main roads there are many physicians. Fastest Flowing River The fastest flowing river in the world is the Sutlej, in India, which rises 15,200 feet above the sea and falls 12,000 feet in 180 miles. Montreal's Earthquake. A severe earthquake at Montreal Nov. 27, 1732, damaged 165 houses. Saxon and Norman. The period of the blending of the Saxon and Norman elements that form the English race and language extended from 1066 to 1400. The Charger at the Funeral. The charger led at the funeral of a cavalry officer is a relic of the custom when a horse was sacrificed at the grave. An officer led the charger behind the bier to the brink of the grave, and it was there slain and thrown in upon the coffin. The last occurrence of this kind took place at Treves, Germany, in 1781. Baking a Fish. If you desire to serve a baked fish whole and have it stand upright on the platter put a carrot inside the fish before cooking and it will remain in position. The Dead Sea. There is absolutely no foundation for the statement sometimes heard in certain quarters that swimming the Dead sea is impossible. On the contrary, owing to the buoyancy of the water it is almost impossible not to swim. Equally fabulous is the idea that no animal or vegetation can live near its shores. A Long Mile. The German mile is more than four times as long as the English. There is an indian tribe in Bolivia which shuns the whites and lives as in the stone age, making tools and weapons of stone, wood or bone. Age of Fish Until within recent years there had been ascertained no trustworthy way of finding out the age of fish. It has been shown that mere size does not indicate age. Belbisch, Heincke and others have discovered that many of the bones, scales and otoliths of fishes have annual age rings resembling those in tree trunks. The Australian Blackenake The blacksnake is the danger of the Australian bush, and a deadly reptile it is, whose bite will kill any one in about eight minutes. Baby's Bib. The half of a large dress shield is used by a young mother as an interlining for her baby's bib. It prevents the moisture from his mouth from soaking through to his dress. Purifying Water. A teaspoonful of a solution of a level teaspoonful of chloride of lime to four cupfuls of water will purify two gallons of water from bacteria without leaving taste or odor. Caesar Augustus. Augustus as heir of Caesar came into possession of $850,000,000, the amount which the dictator had amassed from the spoils of war. When he became emperor Augustus was but thirty-three years of age. Palm Wine. In addition to being a beverage, palm wine may be used as a yeast, an insecticide and a disinfectant, and it also will remove rust from metals. The Speedy Salmon The greatest speed ever known to have been attained by a fish is twenty-five miles an hour. The salmon is reported to be able to maintain this speed for a short distance. Bell Founding. The real art of bell founding reached perfection in Belgium and Holland in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and the bells of that time still stand as models. Rough and Ready Wooing. The Australian aborigine when weary of a single life looks about for a partner and, finding one to his liking, stalks her and, watching his opportunity, stuns her with a heavy blow and carries her off to her new home, where, it is to be hoped, on her return to consciousness his after tenderness makes some astonement for his somewhat rough and ready way of wooing. --- "My new spring down received a very sincere compliment the other day."

The subject for discussion at the recent meeting of the Concord Literary circle in Brooklyn was: “Resolved, That industrial educa ton is more beneficial to the colored race than intellectual.” For the af- firmative Frederick Lopes gave # historical review of the progress made from ancient times up to the present along industrial lines. He showed that the city of Bome, with its mag- nificent architecture, and Carthage and Athens, with their splendid buildings, were the product of-industrislism. Mr. Lopes said that the men who run the mills, factories and machinery ars the men who are running the govern- ment This entire universe, so to speak, is being run by three men— Carnegie, Rockefeller and J. Pierpont Morgan. They have more real power than all of the other men put together. Mr. Thomas £. Scott, who assumed the negative nide of the debate, said that. while industry had built up these ideal cities. the great intellectual lead- @ts bad given to them their prestige and infivence: that, while Rome was mistress of the world. to Caesar be- longed the credit for ber worldwide fame; that. while Germany, with its industries, was regarded as one of the foremost countries. its real value was computed because of. Bismarck, its England has two kinds of education, ene for the higher class and another for the lower. but its rulers are always selected from those receiving the bigh- er education. Spain, because of its ig- norance, was throttled and rated as a third class nation.
