AT THE CONCLUSION OF EACH HEARTILY AND ENTHUSIA THE LARGE AND FASHION SHE WAS THE RECIPIENT OF LETTERS AND TELEGRAMS OF GOODWILL WERE READ BY NUMEROUS FRIENDS RE TIONS OF THE UNITED S On Thursday evening October 19, Madame E. Azalia Hackley, the greatest and the best singer of the Colored race in any section of the world, completely captivated the musical loving Afro-Americans residing in Chicago. For on the evening mentioned above she gave her retiring song recital and demonstration in voice culture at Orchestra Hall and it was a grand success and a most brilliant affair. It is safe to state that never in the history of this city had so many lovers of high class music among the Afro-Americans assembled together under one roof as on Thursday evening, and many out-of-town people were also present, Francis H. Warren, Editor of the Informer of Detroit, Mich., was among those in evidence from Michigan, Ind., and other adjoining states. It was the first time that the Colored people ever held full sway in Orchestra Hall and each and every one who entered it put their best foot forward and acted and looked their very best, and to say the least they reflected great credit on the race they represented and made a fine or lasting impression on the white ladies and gentlemen who were present on that pleasant occasion which will never grow dim in the hearts of the best and the most progressive Colored people, residing in this section of the middle west.

The platform or the stage was decorated in the very highest art with choice flowers and lovely palms and her graceful and uneffected manner made her appear like a fairy queen her costume was simply rich and elegant and her fine pink gown was especially made, for the occasion by Miss Hattie Utley of this city.

CHORAL STUDY CLUB Musical progress in Chicago during the past ten years owes much to the activity of the Choral Study Club. The club is made up of business and professional men and women. The aim of the members is the study and cultivation of music of the better sort, for the purpose of presenting it at public concerts from time to time. The members of the club must be commended for their fidelity and determination, for it was away back in 1900 that the Chicago public first heard of the undertaking. The object of the club is not to make money, but the members are determined to hold fast to the ideal, even though it does not bring money into the box office, if the receipts from the concerts will cover running expenses. The aim: "Better not be a tall than not be noble." and a valuable member of the Senate saw in session in this city, prob—into the on with the election of William Lorimer CONSUMPTIVES NEED NOT BE STUFFED. Journal of the Outdoor Life Point Out Errors in Tuberculosis Treatment.—How Much One Need Many traditions with regard to the feeding of tuberculosis patients and with regard to food in general, are given severe blows in a series of articles published in the October number of the Journal of Outdoor Life, the official organ of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Dr. John R. Murlin, of New York, Assistant Professor of Physiology at the Cornell University Medical College, holds in an article entitled "The Dynamic Principles of Nutrition," that a consumptive will gain weight and do well on three pints of whole milk, eight ounces of cream, five ounces of milk sugar, six eggs and two slices of buttered toast, as a ration for each 24 hours. The entire diet with the exception of the bread and butter could be prepared in advance and served for a cost of about 50 cents for the day. Miss Cecilia Flick of the Henry Phipps Institute of Philadelphia, also offers some sample diets which the ordinary family can prepare for even less than 50 cents a day. Dr. David R. Lyman of Wallingford, Conn., and Dr. Paul B. Johnson of Washington, D. C., both agree that the ordinary person eats too much, and that the old notions about stuffing a tuberculosis patient at all times and seasons have been proven false. Dr. Lyman holds that eggs are not a necessary article of the consumptive's diet, and that a tuberculosis patient should eat anything that agrees with him that is nourishing. He thinks that a tuberculosis patient should eat only a little more than a person in ordinary good health. Dr. Murlin compares the food we eat to the fuel used in furnishing steam and power for an engine. In selecting our food he says that we should eat enough to furnish for the day's work, but that much more than this is not needed. He holds that the appetite is not a necessity for good digestion. "There is no fallacy of nutrition," he says, "greater than that which supposes that a food cannot be digested and utilized without appetite." Most of the food we eat, fully four-fifths, goes to supply energy for our everyday tasks, while less than one-fifth goes to supply building material. --- A Few Side Light On Booker T. Washington MANY SHADY DOINGS OF THE HYPOCRITICAL LEADER OF HIS RACE, WHILE IN THE NORTH GRAPHICALLY POR-TRAYED. THERE ARE MANY THINGS IN RELATION TO HIS PUBLIC LIFE THAT THE GREAT WIZARD OF TUSKEGEE. WOULD RATHER THE PUBLIC AT LARGE DID NOT KNOW. Every week or two there appears in the daily journals of the country the statement that the prosecution of Booker T. Washington against his assailant, Albert Ulrich, of New York is in preparation for trial, but there are a few features to this case of which the general public are entirely ignorant. The fact is that the case has recently been removed from a superior criminal court to an inferior one having a jurisdiction corresponding to that of a justice of the peace in Alabama. The object of this move is preparatory to dropping the whole proceedings without attracting the notice of the public. sleeper for himself. His home at Huntington, L. I., is located in a sweet white district, and his northern con-freres are all white. So strong is this feeling among the northern Negroes that the Baptist recently gave him the cold shoulder. It has always been the custom to invite Booker to address that National Negro Baptist Convention which assembles annually, but this year at its Pittsburg assehlage Booker was dropped, and Prof. Du Bois, the Negro orator of New York, and a bitter opponent of the Tuskegee mag- nate, addressed the convention by invi- tation. It is an open secret in the city of New York that Washington at the time of his escapade had been drinking, and the defence is ready to prove this by the nurses who cared for the injured man at the hospital and by the policeman who arrested his assailant. Sixty-third street in New York is as disreputable as is Avenue A in Birmingham, being hoyewcombed with brothels and houses of assignation. In fact, it is so notorious and bears such an unsavory reputation that the man Smith, for whom Washington alleged he was searching for at the time of the melee, immediately made the public announcement that he had no residence there and had never been in that locality. Booker was not looking for No. 11 1-2, but for No. 13, a most notorious resort, and in his besotted condition got into the wrong house. Nor was he halting in the vestibule, searching for a bell, as he avers, but knowing the character of No. 13 and in which he supposed himself to be, boldly passed through the vestibule into the main hall. Here he encountered two white women whom he accosted as "sweetheart" or "honey," and who, slipping past him, ascended the first flight of stairs to the second landing, where they stopped and looked down upon the intruder. Then Ulrich's mistress (she was not his wife) appeared upon the scene, and Booker addressed to her the same terms of familiarity and endearment that he had applied to the two women previously. When assaulted Washington ran toward the wall of Central Park, which he was endeavoring to scale when rescued by the policemen. There are living in the north a number of Negroes who are not in sympathy with Washington, believing him an arrant hypocrite, and by their efforts a Negro attorney was employed to assist the counsel of Ulrich and bring all of these facts to light. No one knows this better than Washington himself, and this is why he so readily consented to have his case changed from a superior to an inferior court. These Negroes say that Booker's fondness for and attention to white women is the reason why some time back a white chamber maid in an Indianapolis hotel refused to make up his bed; not because he was a Negro, but for the reason that he did not know how to behave himself. They point to the fact that while the president of Tuskegee preaches to his race in the south the advisability of black men keeping to themselves that he does not practice this himself, nor set such an example when he is in the north. It is known that he not only patronizes the white hotels, but hotels exclusively that employ only white service. He always uses railway coaches occupied by white people, and in order to do this has more than once purchased a whole Pullman No.3 sleeper for himself. His home at Huntington, L. 1., is located in a swell white district, and his northern conferences are all white. So strong is this feeling among the northern Negroes that the Baptists recently gave him the cold shoulder. It has always been the custom to invite Booker to address that National Negro Baptist Convention which assembles annually, but this year at its Pittsburg assehlage Booker was dropped, and Prof. Du Bois, the Negro orator of New York, and a bitter opponent of the Tuskegee magnate, addressed the convention by invitation. The frivolities and pecadillos of this black Lothario are becoming public secrets. It is well known that there is now teaching at a Negro school in Mannassas a comely yellow woman who was compelled to leave Tuskegee on account of the improper and annoying attention which the president of the institution forced upon her. This woman had a fiancee who was a student at that time at Tuskegee. Washington took the woman from her classes and made her his secretary, that she might be continually in his office, and his manner at last became so objectionable that she was forced to resign and seek a livelihood elsewhere. This is the character of the man who is posing as the representative of his race. He trains with the hounds in the south and runs with the hares in the north. He has been duping his northern friends and supporters for some time back, but recent events are now showing him up in his true colors, and he is rapidly losing his standing among them. The white supporters of Tuskegee are anxious to keep these facts from the public, for they fear that publicity will injure the institution. They are stockholders in that institution and regard their investment in the same light as a stockholder in a cotton mill regards his holdings. The one turns out supposedly educated Negroes and the other turns out bolts of merchandise. It is, however, whispered that these supporters of Tuskegee are quietly arranging to put Booker overboard, and are shaping things to that end. The sooner this is done the better will it be for the institution and the Negro race at large, for a hypocrite and a libertine has no fitting place as a leader of men or head of a college. We are glad to learn that Booker must go. — From Howle's Iconoclast, Birmingham, Alabama, Oct. 14, 1911. The picture in relation to the immoral conduct of Booker T. Washington, in our opinion, is largely overdrawn and we will never believe that he is as bad as he is pictured out to be in the above article. Nevertheless, the article contains a large amount of truth, and it is an undisputed fact that Prof. Washington has made a grave mistake by not fighting or pushing his case against Albert Ulrich to the bitter end, for unquestionably he owes this duty to himself and to the ten million Afro-Americans in this country, for he has no moral right to pose as their infallible leader in all things as long as this Ulrich cloud continues to hang over him—Editor.

Abilene, Tex., Oct. 16—Sixty persons, representing a wealth of $3,000,000, signed that bail bond here today for Mrs. Lucy Matheson, who yesterday shot and killed her husband at the home of Stella Remsey, a Negro woman. Bankers, merchants and rich cattlemen were among the signers, including her father, mother and grandfather. Mrs. Matheson went to the Remsey home yesterday, stepped upon the front porch and fired through a screened window six times. One bullet went through her husband's head as he lay in bed inside, killing him instantly. The Grand Jury began an investigation of the killing today, but it is believed that any procedure will be merely formal and that there will be no trial. Another case where a Southern white gentleman was seeking social equality with a Colored woman.—Editor. STAIR & HAVLIN HAVE RE- GAINED THE GLOBE.

National and Local Theatrical and Stage Notes Edited by the Stroller or by the Man on the Corner PEKIN THEATER. Tallaboo opened on Monday night for the farwell week. Large audiences filled the entire seating capacity. Two of the original performers reappeared, Mrs. Stone as Tallaboo, Mr. Harris as Hut. The performance was greatly improved by the addition of these two favorites. Saturday matinee will be given and the last two performances of this sensational Negro melo drama will be given Sunday night. First show at 7 o'clock sharp. Seats are on sale at the box office. Fannie Wise was such a big the Lyre at Louisville. She was over. New Colored acts are coming up. Glenn and Gleen at New York and made a hit. Billy Kersands is a sure first back twenty years or more him was a household word. He was with the Frohmans Georgia M. They taking him to England was the only Negro at that time a national reputation and was At the Grand. The bill offered this week is above the average that has been seen at this house. The opening number was: Irwen and Herzog in a singing turn. Madeline Slack, violin. Virtuoso gave an excellent performance and received liberal applause. Then came Lizzie B. Raymond and Lillian McNeil. In Miss Raymond you see a real come back. She has grown stout, but as she don't wear Hobble skirts she is still able to pick them up. Miss McNeil is about the niftiest dancer we have seen, her song and dance was an artistic creation. With so many good things tapped it would hardly be expected that there was any more to be seen, but the number that followed was the real noise. In no less a personage than Allie Gillum's big four, direct from New York, this act is a real top notcher and Allie was seen at his best. The line of talk between him and Williams called for laughs after laughs so much so that they could not talk. The two ladies in the act worked nicely together and Lillie Gillum, with a high and sweet voice, sang the late Paul Dresser song, "My Gal Sal," taking numerous bows the act closes with a whirl wind dance. The bill closes with the Potts Bros. & Co. comedy sketch, "A Double's Troubles." Monogram. Opened with three fresh acts. The Two Sweets being holdovers. Owsley and Bowman offered a funny skit, giving Tim an opportunity to show his drollness, Henry sang in a pleasing manner, Mitchel and Brady and Lulu Hooker filled out the rest of the bill. Stage Notes. The S. C. Green Amusement Co. of Cleveland, O., sometime ago offered $25 in gold for a name for the theater that is being built. All the suggested names were opened last week and the lucky person was Mr. Robert Coursey of 8 Concord square, Boston, Mass., he selected the name to be "The Alpha," signifying first in all things. So we hope the people of that city will be proud of their Alpha Theater and like the word support it first and last. The Meredith Sisters, Pearl and Carrie, who are well known in this city just returned from Europe with a brand new act. Costumes and wardrobe said to be the finest ever used on the vaudeville stage. They carry special scenery and electrical effects. They are being booked by Jas. E. Plunkett of New York. They will be at the Majestic this season. The big eastern managers seem anxious to revive Negro music. Will Marion Cook with Jesse Shipp and Alex Rogers have put on an act called Darkeydom, featuring Abbie Mitchel. This act went so big that the Shuberts immediately engaged it as a feature for their Winter Garden, New York City. The genial Sam Corker, Jr., late Manager of the Pekin Theater, and formerly Business Representative for the Red Moon Co., left on Wednesday morning for New York where he goes to be conneted with one of the Star & Havelin enterprises, with whom he was formerly associated with. Sam leaves a host of friends who wish him success. Perrin Crosby and Saparo are idle this week on account of new gowns being made for Goldie. The well-known team of Johnson & Roper are now entertaining at Dago & Russells, Cafe. Wise and Milton left Sunday night for Frisco, taking Jerry Mills, Bertha Grant and Miss Dehurd. They open at Honolulu in January. Mr. Sam Corker was offered the management of the new theater soon to open at State and 36th. He will decide later on. Billy Mickerson, comedian, will open at the Pakin soon. Fannie Wise was such a big hit at the Lyre at Louisville. She was held over. New Colored acts are continually springing up. Glenn and Gleen opened at New York and made a hit. Billy Kersands is a sure fire come back twenty years or more his name was a household word. He was then with the Frohmans Georgia Minstrel. They taking him to England. He was the only Negro at that time with a national reputation and was billed in both picture and type as the man with the largest mouth in the world. Sweatman, the clarionettist, is going like hot cakes over the Harding time. Looks like he can do better as his act is clean and novel. Marsh Craig is at home taking it easy. Bud Smith did not go with the Wise and Milton Act and is no longer with Irwin Millers Alamo Trio. Geo. Haris taking his place. This act looks good. Coleman Minor, formerly of the My Friend from Dixie Co., is now rehearsing an act of eleven people to be booked solid over the Pantagas Circuit. Bailey and Bailey go on the Keefe time. Miss Rosa Brown, of Brown & Delk, is taking a well deserved rest. Stithe and Stewart are back home. Billy King is being highly praised by the performers who have played the Ruby Louisville. Howard Theater opens on Monday with an entire cast of Colored attaches after having failed with white managess and white doorkeepers, the house was continually dark. I wonder will it be any darker now, or will Rosenthal and Benedict furnish light from Baltimore. Think this one over.

Lawyers Anderson and Barnett feel sure that the Supreme Court will reverse the case and grant Jennings a new trial and that he will be on earth to get on the outside of his Christmas dinner. John R. Walsh, formerly President of the Chicago National Bank, and interested in many other vast business enterprises; was the latter part of last week re-leased from the Federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where he served twenty months and twenty-six days, for permitting the failure of his three banking institutions, and for diverting some of the money, belonging to the depositors into other chanels; although in winding up and closing up his banks, be it said to his great credit, that not one individual lost one penny. And this being the case; President Taft, should have been big-hearted enough to have pardoned him instead of paroling him. Mr. Walsh is made of the right kind of metal, and he will pitch right in and assist his sons in running his business enterprises. Pen, Chisel and Brush.

Child Criminals 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 Alwawa 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 careless driver the belted and brass buttoned gentleman who arrives on the scene questions you with intelligence and jots down in his notebook the facts of the occurrence as near as he can ascertain them. Throughout the interview he is polite, alert and painstaking 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 his "wird" or are a relative of Congressman So-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 "monsieur" and raise your hat. He will immediately return you a military salute, listen attentively and give you, as carefully as possible, the necessary information, saluting you again as you raise your hat to leave him.—F. Berkeley Smith. "Parisians Out of Doors." Serving in the capacity of collector for a local bank is a colored man who spends his evenings playing in an Oakland band.
