ATTORNEY J. RAY LUCAS FEELS THAT HE HAS ALL OF HE OTHER LAWYERS IN THE CASE AND THHEIRS THAT THEY REPRESENT ON THE DEARUN. AND THAT HEND HIS CLIENTS WILL MORE THAN CLEAN AND COME INTO POSSESSION OF ALL TH BELONGS TO THEM AT THE END OF THEREAT LEGAL FIGHT. Mrs. Kearney, Missie Anderson, Mrs. Bertha Brown, Rogers, Attorney Ferdinand L. Mt. ex-Assistant State's Attorneyneyra. Sarah J. Davis, Washington, IoThemas Carliate, George W. BiWashington, Iowa; Mrs. Amelia L Mrs. Agnes Wright, and Mrs. "H" Lange, all of these and severaler witnesses testified in behalf on Anna E. Motts-Jackson, and was clearly proven by them beya reasonable doubt that she is self-sister of Robert T. Motts and she is one of the many daughterThomas Cook Motte, who was in hi many years ago, the wealthiest the most prominent Colored busiman in Washington, Iowa, or the le West. Mrs. Jackson's sidhe case was closed on Friday everand in doing so, Attorney J. Grayas presented four strong documentfurther bolster up his side of thetest. They were as follows the will of Jane Watkins, of Thomas Cook Motts, father Mrs. Jackson and the other Mohildren, and naming Mrs. Jacksoner brother's daughter. Second, k of administration of Mrs. Mahptte-Lindsay, recognizing Mrs. Ann Motts-Jackson as her husband-ugher, and heir, by former descendant. Third, marriage certificate on Anna E. Motts-Jackson to Charles Jackson, as Anna E. Motts.51. Fourth, petition of Fred D. Mfor administration of his mother-state, Mrs. Mahala Motts-Landay. It may not be true, it claimed that even unto this day Fred. D. Motts has not settled the state of his beloved mother, widowed her way onto heaven in 1888 or about that time. So far a whole army orms have become mixed up in the east and they are all working inward to get up close to the prospect the little money left behind bpert T. Motta. HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY The last, but by no means the least, lawyer in the content is Attorney J. Gray Lucas, who has stood up in court and fought all of the above mentioned county and city lawyers to a dead stand still and he feels that he has all the other lawyers in the case and the heirs that they represent, on the dead run, and that he and his clients will more than clean up and come into possession of all that belongs to them. He represents Mrs. Anna E. Motts-Jackson, Rose Motts-Brody-Durgin, and Miss Mary Gertrude Jackson, who is seemingly quite warm in her collar, because it was stated in these columns a few weeks ago, that Attorney Lucas had failed to prove that her mother was a fullfledged sister of Robert T. Motts. MRS. DANIEL MURRAY OF WASHINGTON, D. C., ENTERTAINED AT MANY DINNERS AND RECEPTIONS PRIOR TO HER DEPARTURE FOR HOME. Mrs. Daniel Murray, who has for several weeks been the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Charles E.

Jones, and Mrs. Lloyd G. Wheeler, 3519 Calmelt avenue, gave a dinner and reception in her honor, and more than fifty ladies at the reception were presented to Mrs. Murray, and it was freely conceded, that Mrs. Jones carried off the honor in brilliantly entertaining the society leader from the Capitol of the nation. Mrs. John L. Fry, 3600 Wabash avenue, and Mrs. Lottie Jefferson, 4314 Forestville avenue, gave whist and dinner parties the first of this week in honor of Mrs. Murray; and on Wednesday afternoon she was the guest of Mrs. S. Laing Williams at the Chicago Woman's Club. This evening Mrs. Murray will depart for her home in Washington after a pleasant visit to this city. CHICAGO, OCTOBER 14, 1911. [Name] HON. MICHAEL ZIMMER. The most popular German-American in this city who is making a splendid record as Sheriff of Cook County. CHICAGO LOSES ONE OF HER BEST MUSICIANS. Mrs. Elizabeth Williams, 5349 Indiana avenue, whose funeral services were held in Quinn Chapel last Monday morning at 10 o'clock, was born in Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 2, 1885. She came to Chicago with her parents in 1889. She was one of Chicago's best pianists, having played that instrument since she was ten years old. She was the organist of Quinn Chapel for seven consecutive years, having served during the administrations of three different pastors. It was during the pastorate of Dr. D. P. Roberts that she became a member of Quinn Chapel. Although, best known as a pianist and organist, she was a successful teacher and was possessed of a very pleasing mezzo-soprano voice which never failed to please her friends whenever she could be induced to sing. In 1909 she was married to Mr. W. J. Williams, who is known also as a pleasing tenor singer. Of this union there are two children, the younger being five weeks old. manner. Interment was at Oak Hill Cemetery.—"A." "B." MADAM E. AZALIA HAACKLEY HIGHLY PRAISED FOR HER MUSICAL AND SINGING ABILITIES. A lady that has traveled extensively in the old countries and has heard Madam E. Azalia in Paris and London has written Mr. Cary B. Lewis a splendid letter, commending Mrs. Hackley's great work. Among other things the writer says: "I was gratified to learn that there was to be given in Orchestra Hall, on Oct. 19, a song recital by Madam Hackley. I had the pleasure of hearing her in a splendid musical program at the Academy of Music, Philadelphia's exclusive Temple of Art. Her offerings were given every consideration and reviewed at length by the daily press of that city. The entertainment while giving me much pleasure and impressed upon my memory the singer, I did not hear her again until some years afterwards when I happened to be in London and At the beginning of the present year, during the illness of the regular organist, Mrs. Williams became the organist of Bethesda Baptist Church but her health began to fail and she was forced to give up all of her pupils and finally the organ; a fact which she regretted more 'han anything, for her life was bound up in her musical activities, and she was never so happy as when she was in a musical atmosphere. Nevertheless she was patient and cheerful throughout her long illness which terminated in her demise on Friday, Oct. 6, at 5 o'clock p. m. Aged 26 years and 4 days. Her passing away was so quiet and peaceful that those watching by her bedside scarcely knew when the last breath had passed. She leaves beside two children, a husband, Mr. W. J. Williams, a mother, Mrs. Jennie Williams, and five brothers. The funeral services were appropriate and impressive. The following ministers under whom she had served as organist, paid tributes to her remains in most fitting words: Drs. W. D. Cook, D. P. Roberts, A. J. Carey and E. T. Martin. Music was furnished by members of choirs from the following churches: Quinn Chapel, Bethesda and Olivet Baptist. The solos sung by Mmes. Martha B. Anderson and Clara J. Hutchinson were appropriate and touching. The floral offerings were many and beautiful; among them we noticed a casket bouquet of white roses expressive of the sympathies and good will of Bethesda Baptist Church Chok. The funeral was in charge of Charles S. Jackson who conducted affairs in his usual business-like vet genteel manner. Interment was at Oak Hill Cemetery. “A.” “B.” MADAM B. AZALLIA HACKLEY HIGHLY PAUSED FOR HER MUSICAL AND SINGING ABILITIES 一 A lady that has traveled extensively in the old countries and has heard Madam E. Axalia in Paris and London, has written Mr. Cary B. Lewis a splendid letter, commending Mrs. Hackley's great work. Among other things the writer says: "I was gratified to learn that there was to be given in Orchestra Hall, on Oct. 19, a song recital by Madam Hackley. I had the pleasure of hearing her in a splendid musical program at the Academy of Music, Philadelphia's exclusive Temple of Art. Her offerings were given every consideration and reviewed at length by the daily press of that city. The entertainment while giving me much pleasure and impressed upon my memory the singer, I did not hear her again until some years afterwards, when I happened to be in London and saw her advertised to sing at the Great Queen's Hall. Personally, I am not a technical musician, but in a modest way, I am an admirer and highly appreciate good music. The contact thus gained has allowed me to be slightly discriminative along these lines, and I knew that if this lady could interest artistia London to the extent that she be invited to sing in a hall where Jennie Lynn, Adalide Pattj and the great sepranos won their fame, I knew that she must be an artist of more than ordinary capabilities. I shall swall myself of the opportunity of hearing her in Orchestra Hall on Oct. 19, because I know I shall be delighted with her well chosen program and instructed by her discriminating and correct vocal demonstrations. I am sure Chicago's Colored public will give their support to this exceptional artist. Her wide acquaintance among musical white people engaged in this sort of work insure her a large patronage. Perhaps no other woman has done more for disseminating knowledge and inspiring love for music along its highest and cultured lines as Madam Hackley." The manager is desirous of as many as possible secure their seats early in the week so as to avoid the crowd in the lobby and a better opportunity to select seats. Several boxes are left and plenty of choice seats in all parts of the house. Seats are from Twenty-five cents to One Dollar. Mrs. Hackley will arrive in the city on Oct. 17, from a successful tour in West Virginia and Kentucky. Everywhere she has sung, great crowds greeted her. National and Local Theatrical and Stage Notes Edited by the Stroller or by the Man on the Corner Pakin Theatre. Tallaboo has drawn immense houses all week, the play being purely Negro makes the attraction one of Race interest. The addition of Brown and Gomez, high class singers, who appeared in the Women's Club Scene, was highly received. Tallaboo will be the attraction all next week, as this is the final appearance. All who have not seen this great Negro play had better secure their seats in advance. Grand Theatre. Light houses have been the rule all week. One Colored act is on the bill, and it has been seen too often to cause comment. Monogram had an entirely Colored bill, consisting of the Two Sweets, in singing and dancing; Minstrel Morris, in juggling; Johnson and Roper, in a neat singing and dancing act; Ada Banks, in piano playing and Coon shouting. Stage Notes The S. H. Dudley Smart Set Co. have a new show, which is said to be the best that Mr. Dudley has ever had. Many new faces will be seen, including Madam Flowess, the brozed Melba, Mr. Henry Troy, the noted tenor. New scenery and gorgeous costumes have been provided for Mr. Beans from Boston, which is the title of the new musical comedy. The Era Quartette is making a big hit. European time has been offered them. Gee. Bailey's Band made its first public appearance at the American Base Ball Park at the Field Day sports, and gave a fine concert. Wise and Milton leave on Sunday with an act of five people. They play some Coast time and will open at Honolulu early in January. Perrin, Crosby and Sapero were at Weber's Theatre the first three days of this week. They are booked over the Keefe time. The act is the best of its kind in vaudeville. Mr. Perrin wrote all the music. Miss Fannie Wise made such a big hit in Louisville week before last, that on last Sunday, night she secured a telegram to open on Monday at the Luxe Theatre. A few weeks ago Miss Wise had contracts to play this house, but at the last moment she got cancelled. The explanation was that the managers did not think her act would go. Mr. Doyle them booked her for the Ruby Theatre, which is in opposition to the Lyre, which she played two weeks. Her success was so great that the manager of the Lyre was glad to play her at a big advance in salary. Any manager that can afford to cancel this artist is not working at his trade. J. Rosamond Johnson will be the musical director of the big musical sensation: "Hello Paris" that has been having a run in New York. It is to open on the United Time and will be seen soon at the Majestic. Johnson and Dean, American artists, are at the Wintergarden, Berlin. Chas. Gilpin has been very busy rehearsing vaudeville comedy acts. Mr. Frank Q. Doyle will soon be booking all the Colored houses, and performers playing opposition houses had better stop and think it over. Mr. Geo. Harris will soon join a new act. Winfrey and Thompson have just formed a partnership and have been rehearsing all week. Both are gentlemen and clever workers, and intend to present something new. Joe Sims is now assisted by Dancing Mayo. Shelton Brooks, after a severe illness, is about again and opened on the North Side at the Plaza Theatre. Capitalists are to build a large theatre on State street, near 36th street. It will be under white management, catering to us. More Jim Crowism. A change is gradually taking place. The New Grand is being more than liberally patronized by whites by the looks of the main floor. This week's Washington, D. C., "Bee" speaks in the highest praise of W. H. Smith, while he was manager of the Howard Theatre. Madam Hackley's Retiring Recital is attracting great attention. A report was circulated that all seats had been sold. Such is not the case. A limited number of the out of town seats have all been sold, hence the reports. The Magnolia Theatre at Cincinnati has been a complete failure since it went into white policy. The Temple Theatre, New Orleans, is still closed, and some one is to have another house. What for? The Dunbar at Columbus has been remodelled and the theatre is now on the first floor. Mr. Sam Clark is using moving pictures and songs. Mr. Billy Nickerson, comedian, closed in Canada with the "Hottest Coon in Dixie," is in the city resting up. Mr. Tom Lemonies, who is in the first act "Off Over Night," at the Princess is receiving many complimentary press notices. Mr. W. A. Brady, who is presenting this company has several shows on the road and uses Colored actors, wherever the cast calls for it, he has discarded the old ancient ideas of using burnt cork on white people. He is a wide-awake manager and believes in giving the public the real thing. "That's right." Miss Rosalie Tyler is having a new act written for her. Griffin Sisters at Gaither, Cincinnati, this week. Alonzo Moore opens at the Crown Garden, Indianapolis next week. Gilmore Kinky & Gilmore go to the Ruby, Louisville next week. Frank Kirk made such a hit at the Pekin that he has been booked over the entire Doyle Time. Good acts can always work. The new Cleveland, Ohio Theatre will be the largest in that state, under Colored management. A name has not been announced for the theatre as yet, as a prize was offered for a name. Open to any one in the city and the price of Twenty-five dollars, will be given to the person who names the theatre that the 3 referees select. This theatre opens in November with pictures and high class vaudeville. Will promulgate and at all times uphold the true principles of Democracy, but Catholic, Protestants, Priests, Infidels, Single Taxes, Republicans, or anyone else can have their say, as long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed.

Azalia Hackley Delights Audience at Logan Church. The song recital and musical demonstration of Madame E. Azalia Hackley to which the Colored people of Parkersburg have been looking forward with great anticipation for about three weeks, took place at the Logan M. E. Church on Ann street last night. The audience which greeted this noted singer was the largest that has ever assembled under the auspices of the Colored people in the history of Parkersburg. The large auditorium of the edifice was packed to its utmost capacity. Madame Hackley is a singer of worldwide reputation. The program which she rendered was highly appreciated by the Colored people of the city, as was shown by the way in which they turned out to hear her. The program follows: The program follows.

The girl was not daunted by the refusal of a number of ministers to marry her to the Colored man and said that she was willing to go all over the world until she found a minister to marry them.

Justiciable. "Justicable," being a perfectly correct word, is entitled to a place alongside of "innocuous desuetude."—Chicago Tribune.

Child Sciminals Any child over seven can be prosecuted as a criminal in England, but in Germany twelve is the limit of responsibility. FRENCH POLICEMEN. They Can't Be "Fixed," and They Are Always Polite. The laws of France relative to the out of door life of the masses are made in the interest of the people. Furthermore, they are enforced. There is no fixing things with a French policeman. If your bicycle has suddenly been twisted into junk by a carless driver the belted and breast buttoned gentleman who arrives on the scene questions you with intelligence and jets down in his notebook the facts of the occurrence as near as he can ascertain them. Throughout the interview he is polite, alert and painting in getting at the exact truth, and, whether you or the offending driver or both accompany him to the police station, he conducts you with a quiet dignity and an air of fulfilling his duty. It does not make the slightest difference in France who you are or whether or not you have mutual friends or come from the "ward" or are a relative of Congressman Bo-and-so. If you are at fault you must pay the damages. If the other fellow is to blame you will be ushered from the presence of the commissaire de police, with as much ceremonial politeness as would be shown at a diplomatic interview. If it is boiling hot or freezing cold and you are in need of information, go to the nearest policeman, address him as "monsleur" and raise your hat. He will immediately return you a military minute, listen attentively and give you as carefully as possible, the necessary information squaring you again as you raise your hat to leave him—F. Berkeley Smith. "Parisians Out of Doors." Couldn't Fool Him. Serving in the capacity of collector for a local bank is a colored man who spends his evenings playing in an Oakland band.

Milk will sometimes remove discoloration from gilt picture frames. Keep a small whetstone in a drawer of your sewing machine, and when needles become blunted sharpen them instead of throwing them away. Towels should be thoroughly dried before being put away.
