IT'S TERRIFIC AND MEMORABLE IN 1906 DROVE HIM FROM September 30, 1911, The Broad Ax completed its sixteenth year in the journalistic world. Sixteen years ago, or more properly speaking, the 31st of August, 1895, its publication was begun by us in Salt Lake City, Utah, and continued its publication in that far away beautiful western city, in the land of Mormonism, each week, without missing one single issue, until June 1, 1899. Then we discontinued its publication there and removed to this great metropolis where we had formerly resided for seven years prior to 1895, and began its publication in this great and ever wonderful city July 15, 1899, and from that time to the present it has made its appearance once each week. It is true that when The Broad Ax first appeared on the journalistic sea it did not attract much attention except among its few friends, for it had no subscription list, but today it has hundreds of staunch friends and supporters in many parts of this broad land, and its bright and sparkling editorials have been eagerly read by the most distinguished men and women in this country and in Europe, and with the aid of the Associated Press, and the great daily newspapers, whose editors have ever since its inception, freely commented on its bright appearance, it has become known in all parts of the civilized world. As an evidence of this fact the past summer, one of the chief rulers of India, sent a letter to us, requesting that several copies of The Broad Ax be forcured to him, that he had read about in a magazine article, which he had received in his section of the Eastern world, and so on. For more than sixteen years it has trained a long and persistent fight against wrong and oppression of every civil. It has manfully contended for freedom and justice and the equality of men before the law. It has always right on the side of the masses, as insist the classes. It has never stated in denouncing those who have bequeathed to ride rough shod over the rights and the liberties of the common people; it has made not the slightest difference to it whether those who attempted to do so were Democrats, Republicans or what nots. It has been earnless and outspoken on all the leaders' topics or questions of the day. It is faithfully performed its part during the sixteen years which have rolled on into eternity, in assisting to create a healthy public sentiment in favor of permitting the Afro-American to freely enjoy his civil and political rights in all parts of the United States. Its terrific and memorable fight on Benjamin R. Tillman, in 1906, which was joined in by all the leading daily newspapers throughout this country, is still fresh in the minds of the people, having right and justice on its side, it practically drove him from the lecture --- platform, for he has not been conspicuous before the footlights in any section of this country, since he was robbed of his sting, and greatly lowered in the estimation of the right thinking American people at the time of his last appearance at Orchestra Hall, this city, November 27, 1906, and that fight or incident is an evidence of the great power and influence of The Broad Ax. It is the only newspaper owned and controlled by an Afro-American in this city that has passed through the Chicago postoffice for the last twelve years and a half, without missing one single issue. In this respect it recognizes no competitors among the so-called Colored newspapers published in this city, for within the past twelve years and a half, or since the 15th of July, 1899, more than forty newspapers published in the interest of the Afro-American race have started up, flourished for a while and then disappeared, as gently and as silently as the morning dew! But The Broad Ax is still doing business at the same old stand, in the same old way, and the record it has made makes us feel proud, though it has caused us to hustle early and late and to wave all pleasure aside whenever there is any business in sight and many times during the past twelve years we have lit out from our place of abode at five o'clock in the morning in order to catch some one in another part of the city, before he left his home, while looking after new business, sometimes our early morning trips would be in vain and at other times we would pull in a good live big ad long before breakfast time. Being perfectly independent and free from debt, The Broad Ax, is never offered for sale in any church like most of the other Afro-American newspapers whose editors seem to have a very hard time in keeping their heads above water. It never knowingly whitewashes preachers who are not what they should be in order to pick up a little easy money, like some of the Colored editors in this city. Neither does it slobber over anyone else, unless, they are half O. K., and attempt to paint them as bright shining angels, or the great and only I'ams. It stands strictly on its own merits, and no politician white or black, high or low, rich or poor, Democrat or Republican, can crack their whip over it and compel it to do their bidding for it is absolutely independent along political lines, and its policy is to support the best men for office, regardless of their politics! In conclusion, again we heartily and most earnestly wish to thank each and everyone who have, in any way, assisted to make it possible for us to present them with a copy of the sixteenth anniversary edition of The Broad Ax. [Name] Ex-City Attorney of Chicago, Grand Marshal of the far-famed Democratic Marching Club, and candidate for State's Attorney of Cook County. Miles J. Devine, Democratic candidate for State's Attorney of Cook county, who possesses great legal attainments, and who always wears a broad pleasant smile on his kindly disposed and honest face and who can easily number his steadfast friends by the thousands among all classes of his fellow citizens, throughout this city and Cook county, is a native Chicagoan through to the back bone, for he first saw the light of day, on what is known as the west side of Chicago, where he still resides unto this day, in 1866. His father, Patrick Devine, was a native of Grand Old Ireland, coming to America in 1846, and shortly after landing here he became united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Conway, who was the sister of Very Rev. Father Conway, Vicar-General of the Chicago Diocese, and long before passing away the father of Miles J. Devine became one of Chicago's well known and most highly respected citizens. Mayor Carter H. Harrison, Sr., and honorably served the city in that capacity, during the administrations of the elder Harrison, father of the present mayor, Mayors John D. Hopkins and George B. Swift, in the latter part of August, 1895, he re-linguished the duties of his office, in order to devote all of his time to the practice of his chosen profession. Less than one year after severing his connection with the prosecuting attorney's office he was nominated to make the race for Congress in the old 4th Congressional District in 1896, but he declined and a short time before that he also declined the nomination for state senator, at later period, however, there were other political honors in store for him, and in the spring of 1897, he was nominated for city attorney of Chicago and after a most brilliant speaking campaign on his part, with a big barrel of money pitted against him, he was elected over Roy C. West by more than 38,000 plurality. The subject of this sketch who was greatly blessed in the way of receiving a thorough education was intended for the priesthood by his devoted parents, and his early educational training or studies were directed in that channel, until 1876, he attended St. Patrick Brothers' school his uncle, Father Conway, being the priest of the parish, two years was spent by him at St. Francis Seminary, Bay View, Wis., and four years of his younger days were passed as a student at the Seminary of Our Lady of Angels, at Niagara Falls, New York. But as time went by it was decided to switch him off to the law, which was in 1885, and shortly after arriving at that conclusion he entered the Lake Forest University and after receiving the finishing touches in that institution, he further pursued the study of law at the Chicago College of Law, graduating with all the honors in June 1890, and immediately after being admitted to the Chicago bar he linked his fortunes in the law with Jeremiah B. O'Connell, and thus reliable legal firm existed until four or five years ago, then it seperated. Mr. Dvine retaining the old extensive law quarters on the 3rd floor of the Reaper Block, Washington and Clark streets. Aside from looking after his more than extensive law business Mr. Devine, is able to devote some of his time to politics and he takes to the game of politics as naturally as a duck takes to water. Owing to his rapidly increasing power and influence in politics, in 1893, he was selected first assistant prosecuting attorney of Chicago, by Mayor Carter H. Harrison, Sr., and honorably served the city in that capacity, during the admini-trations of the elder Harrison, father of the present mayor, Mayors John P. Hopkins and George B. Swift, in the latter part of August. 1895, he relinguished the duties of his office, an order to devote all of his time to the practice of his chosen profession. Less than one year after severing his connection with the prosecuting attorney's office he was nominated to make the race for Congress in the old 4th Congressional District in 1896, but he declined and a short time before that he also declined the nomination for state senator, at a later period, however, there were other political honors in store for him, and in the spring of 1897, he was nominated for city attorney of Chicago and after a most brilliant speaking campaign on his part, with a big barrel of money pitted against him, he was elected over Roy O. West by more than 38,000 plurality, and from the first day to the last day that he served as city attorney he would not permit the schemers and fakers to beat the city out of large sums of money in damage suits, and he retired from the office which his fellow citizens had elected him to at the expiration of his term with a reputation for honesty and truthfulness. For years he has been an active and prominent member of the Chicago Bar Association, State Bar Association and Lawyers Association on Illinois, member of the State Central Committee four years; served on Executive Committee of the same member Illinois Athletic Club, Association of Commerce, and Citizens Association. He is also an honored member of the Catholic Order of Foresters, the Irish National Alliance, and the Knights of Columbus, he is also President of the Cook County Democracy and Grand Marshal of the far famed silk hatted marching Club. Worthy Afro-Americans have always received the proper consideration due them at the hands of Mr Devine, it will be recalled that while serving as city attorney he and his assistants presented Major Franklin A. Denison with a fine sword which he used while serving his country in Cuba, Mr. Devine journeyed to Springfield on that occasion at the same time he presented Major Denison with a nice saddle horse, which was the gift of Mr. John G. Drennan, District Attorney for the Illinois Central Railroad, and being free from narrow race perjudice Mr. Devine in many other ways has displayed his (Continued on page 4.)

A PROFOUND AND LOGICAL ARTICLE BY ATTORNEY EDWARD E. WILSON. Not very long ago the Associated Press sent out the news that there was a plan on foot to have thousands of Colored people go to Washington next spring and solemnly protest to the President of the United States that the general government should do something to put an end to lynching. called forth universal condemnation from press and pulpit; that while Congress was in a sympathetic state of mind and shedding tears over the Jews, it would have passed resolutions demanding that American citizens at home be protected; that the President would have lent his great power and moral influence to con- Whether such a gathering shall be held or not, whether or not it would be able to get the machinery of law in motion to check organized murder, it must be plain to any observer that in all parts of the country lives and property of Negroes are now less respected than at any time since the war. It is true that the number of lynchings may have decreased somewhat, but what they lack in numbers they make up in atrocity. It might not be a bad plan, now that the American people have been so recently wrought up over the treatment of Jews in Russia, to appeal to the great American public to look around at home and take notice of the outrages being perpetrated on black American citizens. We remember that but a few weeks ago the whole country was ablaze because Russia refused to honor the passports of J wish citizens of the United States. Resolutions were introduced in Congress to abrogate the treaty with Russia and the President hastened to notify Russia that the treaty was at an end. All this was done in so self-righteous a way that one not acquainted with conditions in America would have thought that in America itself every one of her citizens was treated with exact and equal justice. Yet it was but a few weeks prior to this outburst on the Jewish question that three Negroes, one of them a woman, were burned to death in Tennessee. I mention this particular lynching because of its singular barbarity; because of the filmsiness of the reason assigned for its perpetration; and because it so pointedly refuted the argument often advanced that no industrious or law-abiding Negroes are ever lynched. In the case now under consideration these three Negroes were lynched, so the papers tell us, simply because they were renters of some land which their white neighbors did not want them to have. These Negroes were on their way to a gin with a load of cotton, the fruit of their industry; the mob seized them and tied them to their load of cotton and then and there burned them to death. The fact that they had committed no offense; that one of the victims was a woman in no wise kept the mob from their savage purpose. In the Dark Ages no fouler outrage on humanity was ever committed. One would have thought so brutal an attack upon the rights of citizens and upon their persons, following so many other attacks of the same kind, would have No.13 TH Law is Con- the Increase Parts of the States WILLIAM H.

FORTH NO WORDS OF CONDEMNA- FICIALS OF AMERICA. ALL OF THEIR TIME AND ENERGY IN RIGHTS OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE IN Y IGNORE THE SAVAGE AND UN- CCORDED TO AMERICAN CITIZENS PICLE BY ATTORNEY EDWARD E. called forth universal condemnation from press and pulp; that while Congress was in a sympathetic state of mind and shedding tears over the Jews, it would have passed resolutions demanding that American citizens at home be protected; that the President would have lent his great power and moral influence to condemn, if he could not punish, the crime; that the great Negro leaders that have the ear of the public would have for once risen to the heights of manhood and not only called down the vengeance of heaven on this last most brutal crime of the year, but also joined in a stirring appeal to the world to set the seal of its condemnation on dark age methods. Yet what do we find? Outside of the mere mention of the burning not an editorial comment: no word of condemnation among those who feel so strongly about outrages committed in foreign countries. And just here lies the pity of the whole thing. So common have these mob murders become that they no longer excite discussion among the ruling people of this country; not even sensational newspapers, which find in the elopement of players in a ten cent theatre matter for great head-lines, pay any more than cursory notice to the burning of men and women alive by lawless mobs. Whenever any community reaches that stage where it can look without loathing upon corruption and look without revulsion upon the burning of human beings—that community is itself beginning to rot. Its mere profession of Christianity and love of liberty amounts to nothing: it is practice, not preaching, that is worth the while. One is led to ask how much sincerity is there in a country that can prate about liberty and yet refuse it to ten per cent of its people whose lawmakers go into indignant ttrums over the fact that Jews are not allowed to travel about Russia as other people, while ten millions of their fellow citizens at home must travel like cattle in a large portion of their country. In speaking as above I desire to cast no reflection on Jews. They are a wonderful people with a wonderful past: a people who have for ages ranked high in all the walks of life and have accomplished splendid things in the higher reaches of civilization. In the name of humanity and fair play, they deserve everywhere good treatment. Still one cannot but be disgusted when he hears Americans pretend to weep over Jewish woes, when these same Americans, for the sake of trade, condone murders as awful as any that ever occurred in Russia. Moreover, these same Americans not seldom show as much prejudice to Jews as Russians do themselves. There was a time when outrages (Continued on page 4.) [Name not provided] CHARLES E. MORRISON. Special Messenger to Mayor Carter H. Harrison. Long and true blue. Democrat Charles E. Morrison, special messenger to Mayor Carter H. Harrison, was born in St. Louis, Mo., May 15, 1860, and in April, 1861, when he was only a wee boy, he came to the windy city to make his future home. In those days, he attended, the old John Jones school and the old Dearborn Grammer school, from which he graduated with the customary honors. Not many years after emerging from school, Mr. Morrison, sought a position in the Palmer House, and for more than 30 years, he faithfully, worked for the Palmer estate. he began to shout for Carter H. Harrison, for Mayor of Chicago, and he did not cease in shouting and kicking up a lot of dust in every direction; until the "Man of Destiny, swept by the primaries with the air of a large number of Afro-American voters, knocking out Edward R Dunne and Andrew J. Graham, and finally landing in the Mayor's chair in the City Hall. And shortly after assuming his duties; Mayor Harrison, selected Mr. Morrison, as special messenger. He has a desk in the outer office and the biggest politicians and other citizens The late Potter Palmer, was one of his best friends, and he was held in high esteem, by Mrs. Palmer, her two sons, Potter Palmer, Jr., and Ex-Alderman Honore Palmer, and Mrs. Palmers, brothers, Mr. Adrian Honore and Judge Lockwood Honore, who have ever been ready and willing to speak a good word for him, which has been of much benefit to him in many ways. Mr. Morrison, resides in the new second ward, formerly the old third ward, at 3731 Armour avenue, and he is well liked by all classes of people, in his neck of the woods.

He has a desk in the outer office and the biggest politicians and other citizens, must first brush by him before they can get in to see Mayor Harrison. Mr. Morrison, is at all times polite and discharges his duties faithfully without making himself offensive or over officious with any one. This has made him popular and well liked, by the leading politicians, and the people in general who have occasion to frequent the Mayor's office. He is a Mason of high standing and a strong supporter of The Broad Ax, and if Carter Harrison is elected President of the United States in 1912, Mr. Morrison, expects to go to Washington with him and take charge of the White House.

In conversation with Mr. Miller he speaks in glowing terms of the good treatment they received from the managers and performers all through the circuit. They will spend the holidays here, then go East, opening at Hammersteins Victoria Theater, New York City. These two young men have made very rapid strides in their chosen profession, and in doing so have attracted the attention of such managers as Klaw and Erlanger, W. A. Brady, Cohen and Harris, Chas. Frohman, Hertig and Seaman, Gus Hill and others. It looks like they will soon be seen in a big musical comedy as they are now writing the book which they will submit to the above named managers if accepted. Tom Lemonier will write the music. They have reached the point where managers consider them the logical successors to Williams and Walker. Allie Gillum of Gillum and Williams has been the busiest performer in town, he has been receiving a dozen telegrams daily urging him to go to the coast, but as yet he has not accepted the time offered, he expects things will clear up in a few days. Then he will know how un "Wise" he could have been, but up to date he is like a frog. Look well before leaping.

This act is now considered the best in vaudeville which great credit is due Mr. Perrin as he has written all the songs for the act which gives it an originality that other acts don't have. He also hands out a full line of clean comedy in the hands of Goldie, the soubrette lines are well looked after in a nifty and gingerly manner. There is no doubting the ability of Mr. Saparo being a capable straight and possessing all the qualifications, being a very nimble dancer, fine stage appearance and good voice. It will not be long until this act will be seen in the east, and the Stroll will see them no more... Louis Mitchell, late of the "Red Moon Co.," bereaves the loss of his mother, who died at New York. The entire profession extends their sympathy to him at his great loss. Nashville, Tenn., is all excited over their new theatre, called the "Majestic," which will open on Monday, Xmas day. The owner, Mr. A. N. Johnson, seems confident that Nashville will support his new enterprise. Much will be said in these columns from time to time concerning this theatre, and we are expecting to furnish our readers with a full and accurate account of the opening night. The theatre has a seating capacity of 800. Lowery & Morgan's Minstrels will have the pleasure of opening the most beautiful theatre in all Southland, built and owned by a Colored up-to-date business man. We wish it all success. There is a great demand for Colored acts in the Eastern Colored theatres. Quite a number are now appearing there. The Clippers scored a real hit at the Crescent, New York, to such extent that they were held over for three consecutive engagements, which breaks all records in regards to hold-over acts. Frank and Pinkie Walker, Sandifer & Grant, Meryweather & Brown, Griffin Sisters, are all going big. Other acts are expected to leave soon for Philadelphia and Washington. Last week at Norfolk, Va., at the leading vaudeville theatre, there was on the bill a Colored prformer, which was the first that was ever seen on a white stage. The act made good to such an extent that other Colored acts may be booked. In fact., Black Patti Company is about the only Colored show that has ever appeared in...orfolk. Billy McCarver may join hands with Leon Diggs to play the Southern time. Miss Fannie Wise was offered two weeks at Philadelphia to open on Xmas, but she is booked solid. Time will be arranged later for Philadelphia and Washington. Sammy Patterson is expecting to begin his vaudeville time with the "Watermelon Trust.

Many of our local performers will soon leave for the above named places. Illa Vincent, in his match with Sampson, made many new supporters, and should a match to a finish take place he will have plenty of financial friends. In the Xmas issue of the Freeman an article appeared concerning the Negro song writers, but I do not consider the list complete, as it does not contain the name of that popular song writer, Mr. Sidney L. Perrin. There must be a reason, as the writer of the mentioned article should be as well acquainted with his as others he has mentioned so.

WASHINGTON, WILL SOON BE PRESENTED AT THE PE- KIN THEATRE. Commencing the week of January 15, 1912, the public will be given a rare treat by the presentation of a drama entitled "The Spirit of Tuskegee," written by Mr. L. W. Washington. This is a play of very grave interest to the race. Spirited, timely and instructive. The pith of which demonstrates brains pitted against brains. Please don't forget the date. It shows the fine Italian lines drawn by the Negro himself on the race problem. Noting the present struggle between the higher and industrial educators of the day. A play of human interest. The finest aggregation of dramatic artists will produce the same. JOSEPH O. LANE, THE UP-TO DATE AND PRACTICAL WATCH-MAKER AND REPAIRER. Joseph O.

[Name] ALDERMAN P. I. CARR. Member of the local Industries and City Council, who will soon be pro stituents in the Fifth Ward, as a t Member of the local Industries and other important committees of the City Council, who will soon be presented with a diamond star by his constituents in the Fifth Ward, as a token of their high esteem for him. Last spring Alderman P. J. Carr put up a terrific fight in the fifth ward against many of the old line politicians, laying them out right and left, and making a home run for the city council. Many of those who fought him at the Primaries and at the polls on the day of the election, thought he was too young in the game of politics to be of any valuable service to the people residing in the fifth ward, in the city council. people residing in his ward, regardless of their politics. And at the same time he is looking after the interest of the people living in the other sections of Chicago. Realizing that they had not sized him up rightly, before the election, many of his constituents will in the near future present him with a diamond star; the presentation would have taken place this coming week, if it had not been for the death of Ex-State Senator In this, however, they were sadly mistaken, for Alderman Carr is a member of the Local Industries Committee, Building Department, Rules and other important committees of the city council, and his presence is felt at the meetings of those various committees, and he always has his eyes wide open, to look out after the interest of all the MR. JE One of the most prominent Afro-Ar MR. JESSE BINGA. Within the past few years Mr. Jesse Binga has risen from almost nothing in the business world to the most successful Afro-American banker and extensive real estate broker in the western section of the United States. If anyone who may happen to read this article doubts the statements as to Mr. Binga's high standing in the business and banking world, all that they have to do is to visit the head officials of the First National Bank in this city and the other leading banking institutions and they can easily learn something about his standing, for these gentlemen of big affairs have unbounded faith in the honesty and the ability of Mr. Binga [Name] [Name] MR.

And at the same time he is looking after the interest of the people living in the other sections of Chicago. Realizing that they had not sized him up rightly, before the election, many of his constituents will in the near future present him with a diamond star; the presentation would have taken place this coming week, if it had not been for the death of Ex-State Senator Edward J. Rainey, for Alderman Carr and Mr. Rainey were bosom friends, and he was one of his pall bearers. At the present time there is a quiet movement on foot among the many political friends of Alderman Carr, to bring him forth as a candidate for clerk of either the Circuit or the Superior Court. to handle the most extensive real estate deals with the greatest of ease and many of them are ready and willing to back him up to the extent of fifty to one hundred thousand dollars. No other Afro-American in this city has accomplished what he has accomplished in such a short space of time along these lines. It is, therefore, our firm opinion that Mr. Binga's up-to-date and straightforward business method has greatly raised the majority of the Afro-American business men in this city who have any dealings with the banking institutions, in the estimation of the best and the leading business men of the opposite race in Chicago. --- 一 MILES J. DEVINE. Democratic candidate for State's Attorney. (Concluded from page 1.) friendship towards honorable and respected Afro-Americans. From the first of September 1899, down to the present time Mr. Devine, has been a firm supporter of The Broad Ax, and at all times during all those years we have always found him to be a high-class polished gentleman highly considerate for the rights of his fellow men of every race and nationality. Mr. and Mrs. Devine, who is highly accomplished and one of the prominent social leaders on the west side, have for many years resided in an elegant home at 1262 Macalister Place, and they are the proud and happy parents of six children, namety, Miles J., Paul P., Leo J., Mabel R., Raymond V. and Mildred J. Devine. Possessing legal training in the highest degree and a fine sense of honor, it is therefore our firm opinion that Mr. Devine will make an ideal State's Attorney of Cook County. MOB AND LYNCH LAW CON TINUES TO INCREASE IN THE UNITED STATES. Logical and Profound Article by Attorney Edward E. Wilson. (Concluded from page 1.) against Negroes awakened shame and resentment. But since the practice of lynching has found its way into many Northern states, the country seems to take it as an American institution to be cherished and defended like other institutions. It is indeed strange that when the crime for which lynching was urged as justifiable has decreased almost to a vanishing point, the disposition to condemn has decreased also. We are told by some that we should not complain; but the man who will sit idly by and see men and women of his race burned to death for being industrious, deserves the contempt of every honest person. We are told that we are powerless, helpless, and hence silence is better than whining. If this doctrine had been adopted by all oppressed people civilization would never have moved forward. Negroes should never cease to agitate and to complain about their position in America. They should resolutely show up the hypocrisy of Americans who claim that this is a land of equality. This agitation is the very thing that has secured for the Jews sympathy and attention. Of course we know that the part the Jews play in the business world has a good deal to do with American sympathy; still if one cannot be treated justly without being rich or without representing large business concerns then the future holds but little for most of us. Intelligent agitation then should be resorted to at each fresh outrage. There never has been a more effective protest made than was made by that patriotic band of Negroes who appealed to Europe, calling the attention of the civilized world to American brutality in the treatment of Negroes. This should be done each year and America's superior pretensions exposed as sham. The United States greatly desires to have the name Land of. Liberty; Americans are very careful of their reputation abroad; and a keeping before the world the barbarities allowed here might to some extent shame our white people into better treatment of their Negro fellow citizens.

Mrs. Warner, has been shrewd enough, to save considerable money, from the fruits of her labors; which she wisely invested in a home at 5223 Dearborn street, and she has continued to improve it from year to year; and it will now readily compare and in fact surpass, the homes of the majority of Afro-American home owners, in Chicago.

In his native town became too small for him, and while he was still quite young he wended his way to New York City, and with Chris Smith he engaged in vaudeville, as Smith and Bowman, and he met with much success in that line of business. Having a longing for the far west he left New York, for that section of the country, locating at Goldfield, New, where he engaged in gold and silver mining with the firm of Burr, Britton Cook Co., and he was just in the act of picking up some easy money, when the union closed the mines down there. Then he made a bee line for Seattle, Wash., and in company with Mr. Burr, he engaged in business in that booming city where he resided for some years and being up to snuff at all times he made and saved a nice sum of money; being broad minded and chuck full of new ideas and seeking larger and better fields for his activities, he disposed of his business interests in Seattle, and came to [Name] THE BLAKE BROOKS BASED ON THE AUTHOR'S EXPERIENCE IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK.

IN SPITE OF ALL OF HER DETRACTORS SHE IS ACCOMPLISHING MUCH GOOD FOR HUMANITY. To the Bishop and members of the Iowa Annual Conference: I take pleasure in presenting the following report of the year's work from Sept. 1910 to Sept. 1911. she was married to a worthy young man and is now doing well in Cedar Rapids, Michigan. In our home thus far this year we have cared for 104 children and have As usual the work has been hard and full of many difficulties, but through the Blessed Lord we have been able to accomplish a little good, for the cause of Christ. I have not been able to do much evangelistic work this year, I have been hindered a great deal, however, I have been able to hold 100 prayer meetings, have had 14 conversions in the Louise Juvenile Home, 10 in different homes, [Name] MRS. ELIZABETH McDONALD. Founder and Manager of the Louise Juvenile Home. 3 in the county jail, 1 in the bridewell, christened 6 babies, baptized 10 other persons, also saved one woman from one to 20 years in the penitentiary, also rescued her child and brought him to the home, also a mother and 3 children. The mother would have been sent to the penitentiary for purjury, also a girl 13 years old was kidnapped from St. Louis, Mo., by a man 45 years old. He was arrested and sent to the penitentiary for 20 years, the girl is now in the Louise Juvenile Home, now converted joined the church and baptized and singes in the choir. Have on parole 6 prisoners from Joliet Penitentiary, all have been placed in good homes at good wages. Three girls who were paroled last year, have received their final discharges. Also paroled 3 boys from Pontiac. I wish to call attention to a special case a young girl out of a good family was turned out of doors by her aunt. We rescued the girl placed her in a good position at $7.00 per week. She remained at this position until PEKIN THEATER Wrestling Contests Sunday Afternoon, December 31st. Owing to the splendid showing that Illa Vincent made on Xmas day against Sampson, seems to have attracted the attention of all the great wrestlers now in this city. One of the first to declare his willingness to throw him was the great Dr. Roller. As soon as Leon Motts heard this he immediately hunted up Roller's Manager and made the necessary arrangements for Roller and Vincent to wrestle on next Sunday afternoon. Many who saw the Sampson match were more than satisfied that had it been a finished match that Vincent would have been the victor, as it was it answered the often asked question: Who can throw Vincent? So in meeting Roller, Vincent's class will be demonstrated to his admirers, as today Roller is the champion of American wrestlers, no one as yet has thrown Vincent, and for him to be pitted against a champion means much for his future standing among the best of the grapplers and will surely pave the way for him to be able to get matches with the best of them, on Sunday afternoon there will be a full program of wrestling among men well known to the mat game. Winding up with Dr. Roller and Illa Vincent, all the great wrestlers will be present, including Gotch, Mah- she was married to a worthy young man and is now doing well in Cedar Rapids, Michigan. In our home thus far this year we have cared for 104 children and have 27 in the home at the present time; have also cared for 1 mother until she could be placed in a home. Expences for the work this year, $1,058.99 Donations to the Work. Judge Pinkney of the Juvenile court, $10; Mr. Davies, Pres. of the Advisory Board, $10; Mr. and Mrs. Julius F. Taylor, $10; and other valuable services rendered. Mrs. Mary Watkins, chairman of the House Committee, $3.00; Volunteer Workers' Club, $2.00; Mrs. Hattie Turner, teacher of the literary class in the home, $1.00; Mrs. Clark of Glenylin, $2.00; Mr. J. H. Woolley of the Douglass Center, gave 12 doll babies; also $1.00 from Dr. Robert Miller. Have received from many of our friends. Large donations of clothing and have distributed 375 pieces of clothing to other needy families, 5 bibles, 2 hymn books, 125 books and papers. Also sent two patients to the County Hospital, two to St. Luke's Hospital for free operations. Also sent to the Conference this year $9.00 for the Mite Missionary cause, $4.00 for the Educational department, $1.00 for the Bible cause, $15.00 for charity outside of the Home. I also wish to return sincere thanks to the members of the Pacific League for their donations and valuable services rendered, and to all who have so nobly rendered their support to the success of the work this year. I wish to say in conclusion, let me say, God has given us light not for ourselves alone, but to shed upon others, for the greater part of the Saviour's life on earth was spent in patient trial in the carpenter's shop at Nazareth . Ministering angels attended the Lord of Life as He walked side by side with peasant and laborers unrecognized and unharmed. He was as faithfully fulfilling his mission while working at his humble trade as when He healed the sick or walked upon the storm-tossed waves of Galilee. So in the humblest duties and lowest positions of life we may walk and work with Jesus, and our own souls will be growing more and more into the likeness of Christ. We are workers together with God in this life, and are thus fitting for the higher work and the unshadowed joys of the life to come Yours in His Name, Elizabeth McDonald. 6130 Ada St, Chicago, Sept. 12, 1911. mout, Pederson, Cordelli, Sampson, Bux, Karla and others.

Garnes, and stands in his office on the second floor, of Jesse Binga's Bank Building 36th place and State street. April 18, this year, Mr. North, became united in marriage to Miss Cora L. Humphrey of this city who is an accomplished instructor in music, and they reside at 3666 Wabash avenue. Since he was 13 years old he has been a member of the Baptist church and he was trustee and superintendent of the Sunday school of the Colored Baptist church at Burlington, Iowa. September 1, 1911, he started in business at 3710 State street, and he carries a nice line of first class jewelry of all kinds which he sells at the most reasonable prices, he makes a specialty of repairing watches, clocks and other jewelry and he guarantees all his work for one year and he richly deserves the support of all those who know what first class goods are, and his store as well as himself, are both creditable to the Afro-American race.

Applications should be made to Cecelia Johnson, Secretary, 5830 Wabash avenue. Requirements, 1st voice, 2nd voice, and 3rd, $1.00 tuition. Choral practice in singing is one of the most practical and useful experiences a singer can have, as it improves his general musicianship, especially along the lines of sight-reading. Self-control is cultivated by the necessity for careful listening, for steadiness of rhythm and for quick adjustment. To singers who are backward in reading at sight, this practice is invaluable.

Fighting an Eclipse At the time of an eclipse the Chinese villagers deploy into the open with drums and every other instrument that will stand pounding and make an incessant noise, which is included to frighten the earth dragon eating up the Celestial man in sun. It is very important to frighten the dragon back to his lair, cause his quiescence means peace earth and prosperity for the individual.

The Duchess of Abercorn manages a creamery which supplies steamship companies with milk, cheese and butter. Miss Sophie Groom has been in the service of one family at Watford, England, for seventy years. She is eighty-five years old and has never been away from Watford overnight in her life. Miss Elizabeth S. Cotton of Northampton, Mass., master of fifty-four languages, said to be the greatest woman linguist in the world, has a beautiful soprano voice, but gave up a musical career to devote herself to the study of languages. Mrs. Mary Warren and Miss Kate Shea hold the curious jobs of wastebasket searchers to the government. They look carefully over the contents of the wastebaskets used in the treasury department in Washington and save from destruction any money or bonds that may have fallen into them by accident. Mrs. Clark Fisher, the only woman member of the National Association of Manufacturers, is the head of the Eagle Iron works of Trenton, N. J., which makes her an ironmistress. She began as a regular apprentice, learned how to chisel, mold, temper steel and make rails. She outbidd all male competitors on part of the Panama canal equipment and is said to have made a fortune. Town Topics. Arnold Bennett says he will "tell the truth about Chicago and do justice to the city." What Chicago wants is mercy, not justice—Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. Rev. Dr. Myers says that "Boston is becoming a Christian city." Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott says that it "lacks religion." When doctors disagree!—Boston Transcript. No five inch snowfall was ever yet really "removed" by wagons in New York. The snow can be removed from a few main streets. For the rest we look to the sun. Any claim to do more than that is a bluff.—New York World Sporting Notes. Sam Anderson, former champion middleweight wrestler of the world, has been secured by Harvard to train its students on the mat. "Knockout" Brown, who has in his right name of Valentine Brownheme a good many thousand dollars stored away, is one of the very few men in the ring today to know that 100 pennies make a dollar. "Dictator" Stagg, whom most people believe to be the coach at the University of Chicago, says he's going to war on summer baseball among students. That's the only thing he sees wrong with college sport. Trust Thrusts. As a trust the Standard Oil company is no more, but so far no "To Let" sign has been posted on 26 Broadway.—New York Herald. Would not a chiffonier of corporations instead of a plain bureau be more in keeping with the ornamental style of the other furniture?—St. Louis Republic. The president refers to them as the Standard Oil "trust" and the American Tobacco "trust." Not even the courtesy of "company" goes now.—Pittsburgh Gazette-Times Foreign Affairs Also Russia's open door to American citizens may be classed with those revolving affairs.—Pittsburgh Sun. Before really entering Persia will Russia please wipe its feet? Choice Persian rugs will be provided.—Chicago Tribune. The open door is going around so fast in China as to lead to the suspicion that it is one of these revolving affairs.—Washington Post. Rules of War. It is announced that the nations are making an effort to codify the rules of war. The first rule of war is always to jump on a weaker nation.—St. Paul Pioneer Press. A European commission has started out to study "modern methods of war." Simple-first select a weaker nation and then blow it off the map before it knows what you are about.—Harrisburg Telegraph. Facts From France. France had 114,283 silkworm growers last year. Nineteen women are now practicing law in France. Toads are sold for $1 a dozen in Paris, being bought by gardeners to be used as insect destroyers. In France postage stamps are sold at all tobaccoists' shops, which also have pillar boxes to receive letters for the post. Household Hints. Tie a paper bag over the mincer when grinding state breed. It will prevent the crumbs from scattering. When making aprons, especially those to be used in doing housework, do not forget a large pocket. It will save many a step in dusting and picking up. Use a gravy boat in filling jars with preserves. It is easily dipped into the hot kettle of fruit by means of the handle, and the long mouth fits into jars of almost any size and thus prevents grilling. Saved by & Lisee "The wolves were up... us," he related to the girl he was trying to impress. "Their howling penetrated to our very marrow. We fled for our lives. But each second we knew that the ravenous pack was gaining on us. Closer, closer--at last they were so close that we could feel their muzzles against our legs, so that"— "Ah," sighed the lady, greatly relieved, "how glad you must have been that they had their muzzles on"—Chicago Post.
