HOT CONTEST WILL BE WAGED BETWEEN THOMAS TAY- LOR JR., AND JOHN P. McGOORTY FOR JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT. Vol. 'XVI The Democratic Bosses Have Their Ca FOR JUDICIAL HONORS AND I BUT THE SHOUTING. IT IS PREDICTED THAT SOM EACH TICKET WILL BE BER ELECTION. WHILE OTHERS WILL GO DOW HOT CONTEST WILL BE WAG LOR JR., AND JOHN P. M CIRCUIT COURT. The Democratic and Republican Bosses, got their heads together the latter part of last week—and all day Monday of this week—and after they had picked around among or over one hundred lawyers, they finally decided to permit the precinct committeemen of the two parties to resolve themselves into so-called delegates and to act as though they were really attending a convention and had a voice in its affairs, and on Tuesday morning they met in conventions the Republicans in the Second Regiment Armory on the West Side and the Democrats held forth at the Garrick theater. Charles W. Andrews, acted as chairman of the Republican convention and not one important move was made by him unless it had the O. K. of the big five Messrs. James Pease, former mayor, bedslat Fred A. Busse, Roy O. West, D. A. Campbell and William H. Weber who served as secretary of the convention and after a long secret conference among these five high priests of the Republican party, the slate they agreed upon went through the convention in a mighty few minutes without receiving one little crack and the following are the Republican nominees for Judicial honors: Huga Pam, Second Ward; Edward A. Dicker, Thirteenth Ward; Joseph J. Sullivan, Sixteenth Ward; Charles M. Foell, Twenty-First Ward; McKenzie Cleland, Thirty-Second Ward; A. J. Redmond, Oak Park. Chosen at April primary: Marcus A. Kavanagh, First Ward; William H. McSurely, Sixth Ward; Henry V. Freeman, Seventh Ward; Albert C. Barnes, Sixth Ward. To fill Circuit Court vacancy: Thomas Taylor, Jr. Winnetka, Ill. John J. McGillen, served as chairman of the Democratic precinct committeemen convention and on assuming his duties, he appointed County Commissioner Daniel J. Harris, John P. Tansey, P. A. Nash, Joseph Myer and Fred W. Blocki, as a committee on credentials and after the committee had reported in favor of permitting the FAREWELL BY MADAME HACKLEY. The Chicago Journal paid Madam E. Azalia Hackley a splendid compliment on last Saturday in the Musical and Stage Notes. The Chicago Evening Post on the same day had the following to say about the noted singer and demonstrator: "Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, the coloratura soprano, who has devoted her life to the encouragement of the serious study of music among the Negroes, will give a farewell song recital and vocal demonstration in Orchestra Hall Oct. 19. Mme. Hackley is endeavoring to aid her race musically in the same spirit that Booker Washington is promoting industry. Last season she visited seventy colleges and schools for Colored youth and in various parts of the country has held free voice culture classes and organized choruses. She has supported foreign scholarships for two young men, one a violinist and the other a pianist, by making appeals among her people. Another phase of her missionary work is her effort to uplift the Negro physically through instructions in deep breathing. The Negro needs self-control through concentration," Mme. Hackley says, "and the efforts of concentration in deep breathing while sing- sitting delegates to perform their duties and that there were no contests the convention was ready for business and with the aid of Roger C. Sullivan, George E. Brennan, John McCarthy, John P. Hopkins, and William L. O'Connell and their aids one was skillfully put over on Mayor Carter H. Harrison, William Randolph Hearst and their followers and supporters and the following Judicial ticket was nominated without much delay after the anti-Harrison machine was well greased up with some fine olive oil which caused it to run mighty smooth: C. N. Goodwin, Seventh Ward; M. L. McKinley, Twenty-Fifth Ward; Dennis E. Sullivan, Twenty-Fifth Ward; Daniel G. Ramsay, Twenty-Sixth Ward; Thomas J. Dawson, Twenty-Sixth Ward; Ross C. Hall, Oak Park. Chosen at April primary: Walter T. Stanton, Thirty-Second Ward; Joseph H. Fitch, Twenty-Sixth Ward; John J. Coburn, Thirty-Fifth Ward; Daniel L. Cruice, Twenty-Fifth Ward. To fill Circuit Court vacancy: John P. McGoorty, Seventh Ward. The leaders or the political bosses of both parties in this city feel it is all over with them right now but the shouting, but it is freely predicted by many of the independent voters, that some of the candidates on each ticket will be victorious at the November election, while others will go down to defeat, that the candidates of neither party will have it all their own way this is as it should be and it is the only way the people can expect to succeed in electing able judges to preside over them. The hottest contest will be waged between Thomas Taylor, Jr., and John P. McGoorty for Judge of the Circuit Court, for both of them are eminent lawyers and exceedingly popular with all the members of the Chicago Bar, and from now until election day they will do some tall hustling among their wide circle of friends for the votes and it is hard to tell who is who and who will successfully grab the Circuit Court Judgeship prize. ing is helpful in forming correct habits along other lines. There is always some one to provide work for the Negro, but they have given him nothing for his idle hour. Through the study of music his mental and moral outlook will gain an inspiration and his physical health will be improved under the action of deep breathing and the power of song." Mme. Hackley is a graduate of the University of Denver, College of Music. She has a degree of bachelor of arts, has studied and taught in Paris and London and has given concerts abroad as well as in this country, where she has been associated with the foremost efforts for the advancement of the Colored people." The advance sale of tickets has been exceedingly large and far beyond expectation. Every day Miss Hazel Alexander, who has charge of the sale of tickets at Rankin and White's Drug store, is being besieged daily by people anxious for good seats. Mrs. Hullette M. Barnett, 3141 Cottage Grove avenue, stenographer for F. L. Barnett, 140 N. Dearborn street, arrived home Saturday morning from a three week's vacation trip to Jacksonville and Pensacola, Fla., and her old home, Montgomery, Ala. CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 27. 1911. THE LADY OF THE ROSE MRS. ELNORA MANSON. Will appear in a lecture-recital at Grace Presbyterian Church, Thursday evening, September 28th. Her subject will be "Peer Gynt," (Ibsen.) Thursday evening, September 28, at 8:30 o'clock, Mrs. Elnora Manson, will appear in a lecture-recital at the Grace Presbyterian Church, 3409 Dearborn street, subject, "Peer Gynt" (Ibsen). Miss Ada Lou Mitchell, who graduated from the Chicago Musical College with honors, solo-accompanist. Mrs. Manson, has been for some time a student at the Cosmopolitan Conservatory of Music, and her great speciality has been, History and Interpretation. In this she excels and is making a lasing name or reputation for herself. Miss Anne Shaw Faulkner, organizer and director of the Thomas Orchestra program study class for fourteen seasons lecturer before schools, universities and clubs throughout America, speaks in the highest praise of the accomplishment of Mrs. Manson along musical lines. These are the words spoken by Miss Faulkner: "It is a great pleasure to me to have the privilege of speaking of the work done by Mrs. Elnora Manson in behavior of the Choral Study Club of Chicago (Inc.) Music lovers in this city, and especially the members of the Choral Study Club, owe to her a debt of gratitude in as much as she has acquainted with her literary art which, but for her love for the work, enthusiasm and enterprise might never have been heard. Her work is chiefly confined to words used in the text; and the association of the poem to music makes her art very interesting to her hearers." PEDRO T. TINSLEY. Director of the Choral Sutdy Club of Chicago (Inc.) author of "Tom placing and Voice Development." It is needless to state that those will avail themselves of the opportunity of listening to Mrs. Manson, or Thursday evening will be well repaired and be honoring themselves by so doing. "My Dear Mrs. Manson:—It is a great pleasure to me to recommend your work as that of an earnest, serious student of music, who is doing much to aid the people to a better understanding of the true worth and beauty of the best music. The world is at last coming to realize the importance of music as a cultural aid in our general education, and we need far more today in America those who can help teach others how to listen than we do those who teach the technical side of the art. Everyone, whether or not they are so-called 'musical' persons, should try to learn how to listen properly to music, for it is only by so doing that the great true worth of music's real beauty stands revealed. I am glad that you have chosen this form of the work as your mission in life, and I am sure that clubs desiring to really know the best in music will be more than repaid if they are fortunate enough to secure your services." Rev. Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus, President, Armour Institute of Technology, Mr. Harry T. Burleigh, Prof. Pedro T. Tinsley and others also sound her praises very highly in this direction. Prof. Tinsley speaks of her work as follows: "It is a great pleasure to me to have the privilege of speaking of the work done by Mrs. Elnora Manson in behalf of the Choral Study Club of Chicago (Inc.) Music lovers in this city, and especially the members of the Choral Study Club, owe to her a debt of gratitude in as much as she has acquainted us with her literary art which, but for her love for the work, enthusiasm and enterprise might never have been heard. Her work is chiefly confined to words used in the text; and the association of the poem to music makes her art very interesting to her hearers." Director of the Choral Surdy Club of Chicago (Ine.) author of "Tone-placeing and Voice Development." It is needless to state that those who will avail themselves of the opportunity of listening to Mrs. Manson, on Thursday evening will be well repaid and be honoring themselves by so doing, and at the same time they can become familiar with her musical ability and with the great work or writings of "Ibsen."

ANDERSON WITHOUT ANY CONTEST ON HIS PART. THEY HAVE BEEN LIVING APART SINCE THE FIRST OF JANUARY 1911. SHE IS TO RECEIVE NINTY DOLLARS PER MONTH UNTIL THE YOUNGEST OF THEIR THREE CHILDREN BECOMES OF AGE. IN ADDITION TO THIS SHE RETAINS THE HOMESTEAD AND ITS FURNISHINGS ON EAST 45TH STREET. Mrs. Margaret H. Anderson, nee Simons, 530 E. 45th street, secured a divorce today from her husband, Attorney William G. Anderson. Mrs. Anderson in her bill for divorce alleges that her husband became too intimate with a Colored lady in this city, for whom he obtained a divorce for not so long ago. It is said that this particular Colored lady is exceedingly good looking, and that most any married woman would feel a little bit uncomfortable if she would happen to get a little too close to her husband. In addition to this he had to pay her lawyer his solicitor's fees, and agreed to pay her $90 per month until the children are of age. Since the final separation, January 1, 1911 Mr. Anderson claims that he worked hard to bring about a reconciliation. That he did not want to leave his home and children; that he loved them dearly, but he was unable to do so. That as an evidence of his love for his children in 1909, he says it cost him $500 to send Regina South for the benefit of her health and that at all times he was willing to hustle Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were united in marriage June 15th, 1895, high noon, in Marion, Indiana. It was a fashionable church wedding. Her father, Rev. Henrv Simons, officiated, and he labored under the impression at that time that he had tied the knot so tight that it could not or would not be broken until death stepped in and separated the two hearts which then beat as one. On returning to Chicago with his bride, a reception was held in their honor in this city, which was attended by the upper crust of society at that time. Mrs. Anderson is represented in her divorce proceedings by Attorney George C. Guthrie, Room 828 Unity Building, and Lawyer Edward H. Wright appeared in court for Mr. Anderson, so that there would be no delay in the matter, as he did not desire to contest her suit. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson are the parents of three children, one son and two daughters, namely, Maurice, 13 years old; Regina, 11, and Mercedes Alice, 7. The final separation stalked into their home the first of January, 1911; and two months prior to that time Mr. Anderson deeded to Mrs. Anderson the homestead at 530 E. 45th street. It is worth between $7,000 and $8,000, and has a mortgage on it for about $3,500. All the household goods went to her except his personal effects. OPENING SEASON OF MOTTS PEKIN THEATER BEGINNING MONDAY EVENING, SEPT. 25TH. Miss Adah Banks and Other Old-Time Favorites Will Appear Before the Footlights. Large and enthusiastic crowds were in attendance to see the five last performances of the great Negromelodra, Tallaboo, which opened on Monday and closed on Friday night. On Saturday and Sunday nights a great gaudeville bill has been arranged consisting of Star Colored Artists. Downs and Gomez, operatic singers. The Chicago Comedy Four, entertainers of real merit. Claude Winfrey, the very funny story teller. Dudley and McIntosh, musical sketch artists. The Excentric Comedian Mr. Chas. Gilpin in an original comedy sketch, Wanted a Wife.

Since the final separation, January 1, 1911. Mr. Anderson claims that he worked hard to bring about a reconciliation. That he did not want to leave his home and children; that he loved them dearly, but he was unable to do so. That as an evidence of his love for his children in 1909, he says it cost him $500 to send Regina South for the benefit of her health and that at all times he was willing to hustle early and late in order to provide ways and means for their comfort and pleasure, and at the same time, he states that aside from the fact that no one is absolutely perfect and free from all fault; that he endeavored to discharge his duty as a husband and father. Mr. Anderson in the past has conducted many important law suits. He has almost made a national reputation on habeas corpus cases, and along this line he has confounded many of the ablest white lawyers in this city and in other sections of the country. It will be recalled that he made successful legal fights, resulted in the liberation of Banker Chas. W. Spaulding and Captain George Wellington Streeter, and others equally as prominent, from the penitentiary at Joliet, and after securing the freedom of Captain Streeter, he failed or refused to pay him his fee of $10,000, the amount agreed upon for his legal services. Then Mr. Anderson brought suit against him in the Cook County courts and obtained a judgment for the sum in question, and, being unable to collect it a year ago, he sold at sheriff's sale all of Captain Streeter's right, title and interest in the famous "District of Lake Michigan." And in the near future Mr. Anderson expects to rake in the money from his $10,000 judgment against the foxy and dishonest old Captain. dances.

Lewis, owner and manager of the Belle Meade Club, 5059 Arbour avenue, corner of Slet street, has had his establishment greatly enlarged by extending it over into the second story of the building adjoining on the north, and he has it and every part of his old quarters decorated from top to bottom and furnished up in first-class shape and with the best of catables, including fine chop suey, is served up stairs to the Queen's taste.

C., Sept. 16.—The investigation carried on last year by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, co-operating with lumber manufacturers in the South, to determine the saving that can be effected by using odd lengths of lumber as well as even, has begun to bear fruit. That investigation showed that a material saving was practicable, and at a recent meeting of a southern lumber manufacturers' association the fact was brought out that a beginning has been made in putting the new plan into practice, and that an increase in the sale of odd lengths is anticipated for the near future. It was formerly the custom, and generally is so still, to sell lumber in even lengths only. Waste resulted from cutting off the ends of odd lengths to make them even. A considerable percentage of a saw mill's output is defective. That is, boards have had knots, decayed spots, or split ends, and the defective parts are cut out. To make an even length of what remains, it is often necessary to cut off a foot of good wood with the bad, and it is wasted. The practice of marketing odd lengths as well as even is meant to lessen this waste. The sake of odd lengths of lumber will frequently lessen waste in the woods; for example, a log may be cut fifteen feet long which, following the old custom, would be cut only fourteen, and the extra foot would be left in the woods. The introduction of odd lengths meets with opposition from many builders who are prejudiced in favor of even lengths simply because they have never used any other kind. Nevertheless, there are many places in which odd lengths are more economical than even ones—for instance, where nine-foot studding is used. Following former custom, the ends must be cut from even lengths to make the timbers fit. Some manufacturers of flooring successfully sell odd and even lengths, thus lessening waste in the woods, at the mill, and in the construction of buildings. THE ROBT. T.

On Thursday, October 12th, Columbus Day, at Schorling's Park, 39th and Wentworth ave., Illa Vincent, the Black Panther, who has easily floored every giant who has attempted to stand up before him on the stage of the Pekin Theater and Jack Peterson, the Danish Demon, will engage in a fair and square wrestling bout, for the benefit of the Dearborn Center Day Nursery, which is run in connection with the Institutional Church, 3825 Dearborn st., and the affair promises to be the greatest sporting event of the season and no fake. See announcement in another column of this paper. CHIPS Miss Hazel Alexander is to be found at Rankin and White's Drug Store each day until October first.

Mrs. Mollie Welch, 5029 Armour avenue, gave a party Monday evening in honor of her birthday. Those attending it had a most delightful time, 912 N. Franklin St. Music, dancing and whist enlivened the evening. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Collins, who, for the past year, have been making their home with Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Carter, 5025 Armour avenue, left Saturday evening for their old home, St. Louis, Mo. The best wishes of their many friends go with them. Sam B. Williams, secretary and assistant manager of the Frank I. Gale Piano Company, 3159 South State street, is proving himself to be a live hustling business man, and he is able to convince most of those he comes in contact with who do not own pianos, that they should own one or a Victor talking machine. William Bowman, proprietor of the Marquette Club 3010 State street; is a live wire, his resort is fitted up from end to end in the most gorgeous manner, and he only deals in the choicest lines of wines, liquors and cigars. Leon Motts, acting manager of the Pekin Theater, is proving himself to be a wide awake business man, he knows what the people want in the way of first class amusements and the result is that the Old Pekin is crowded each night its doors are thrown open to the public. Leland Giants are going on a short trip this week, playing at Hinckley on Friday, while next Thursday and Friday Moseley's men will play the Union Giants at the Illinois State Fair of McNab. The two Colored clubs have not met in five years and the country fans will be given a rare treat. Madame E. Azalia Hackley, will depart either Tuesday or Wednesday morning of this coming week, on a singing tour through Kentucky, and West Virginia. She will be absent until October 17th, arriving in the city two days prior to her retiring recital. Thursday evening October 19th at Orchestra Hall. "Rube" Foster is to pitch for the American Giants against the Chicago's Sunday at Schorling's Park. His determination was arrived at when some of the State street fans lamented in his hearing that he was all through pitching. "Rube" got some work on the recent Eastern trip that tipped" it off to him that he was still in the ring. Miss Hazel Harrison of Laporte, Ind., who is well known to lovers of high class music among both races in this city, has recently received an invitation to journey to Berlin, Germany, and to render selections on the paino before the crowned heads of Europe; Miss Harrison is the first Afro-American woman to be thus honored; therefore she reflects great credit on the entire Colored race before leaving for the old world the people of Laporte, regardless of color will give her a monster farewell reception. The Volunteer Workers held their weekly meeting at the home of Mrs. A. E. Whitlow, 3524 Dearborn st. The club perfected plans for a Hard Time Party to be held at Mrs. Lena Cornelius, 433 E. 37th st., Oct. 29, 1911. An excellent Hard Time dinner will be served. The president, Mrs. C. Johnson gave her report of the State Federation, which was heartily received by the members and visitors. After all business was completed. Miss F. Letcher was introduced and entertained the club by several piano solos. The hostess served a very appetizing luncheon.

Mrs. David Manson, Mrs. Mattie Johnson-Young and iMss Diana Hackley, composed the committee in charge of the affair; and served the refreshments. The Hackley Free Voice Culture Class closed last Monday evening. Many of the members were moved to tears, at the thought that it was their last meeting. Madame Hackley promised to return to Chicago for a period next spring if any of her present plans failed to carry. The class will attend the musical festival at Institutional Church on Monday evening instead of gathering for another lesson. Madame Hackley has expressed her regret that she did not organize a chorus for her retiring recital, after witnessing the remarkable enthusiasm and hearing the beautiful tone work of the class. Madame Hackley has this week received letters asking for vocal teachers for Colored Schools, one in Georgia, one in North Carolina one in Alabama, one in Kentucky. She has been compelled to answer that she has no one to recommend. Muzzled. "Did you see this one?" snickered Harry C. "A man who had to muzzle his dog took it to a laundry to have its muzzlin' done.

There is no getting around the fact that the general conference of the Af- rican Methodist Episcopal church in legislating for a great church and elevating men to positions of trust and honor is one of the truly great meetings held among Afro-Americans.
