THE PAST REPUTATION OF THE WIDE PUBLICITY GIVEN TO REASON THAT THE UNFRIEND HOSTILE DEMONSTRATION A REGIMENT BALL. Tuesday evening, the famous Eighth Regiment, Illinois National Guards, Col. John R. Marshall, commanding gave their annual New Year's ball at Seventh Regiment Armory 34th street and Wentworth Ave., and as usual it was attended by between fifteen hundred and two thousand of the best class of Afro-American men and women residing in this city. Many of those attending the ball, being conveyed to and from it in fine autos and taxi cabs and the vast majority of those in evidence endeavored to put their best foot forward all the time or from the time they entered the hall until they left it, and like unto the past many of the dear ladies attending it were handsomely costumed and they looked exceedingly sweet and ever so fair and bewitching. Shortly before 11 o'clock the grand march was formed, it was led by Col. and Mrs. John R. Marshall, who as well as the five to eight hundred others who joined in it were very graceful in their movements in connection with it, it was a nice or beautiful sight to behold and a mighty few people of any race can beat or surpass the Afro-Americans in executing the grand march, it was ably and brilliantly conducted by Captain Clinton L. Hill. Only one thing occurred to mar the extreme and overflowing pleasure of the evening which at that time was being greatly indulged in seemingly by every one in the Armory in the way of hearty handshaking and in wishing each and every one a most Happy New Year, and that was the Johnson incident, which may become far reaching in its effect. It appears that in the afternoon before the ball, Mr. Johnson called one of the officers of the regiment on the phone and wanted to know if he could secure reserved seats at that time for himself and a party of friends, he was promptly informed that there were no reserved seats on hand for anybody, then he requested that ten tickets be sent him at once and it was the painful duty of this high officer of the regiment to inform Mr. Johnson that "it would be impossible to comply to his request as the tickets were only on sale at the Seventh Regiment Armory—that no one could buy them except as they entered the hall," so that was the end of the conversation over the telephone wire. Not long after nine o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and a few of their friends rolled up in front of the Ar- --- HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY mory in their latest and finest auto and just as soon as it was learned that they were present, a hissing and a buzzing sound could be distinctly heard throughout the entire hall. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson occupied seats up stairs on the north side of the hall, just east of the band stand, where they viewed or witnessed the grand march and no further unfriendly feeling was displayed against them until after it was all over, then Mr. and Mr. Johnson arose from their seats and wended their way down stairs onto the main floor where they joined in a dreamy waltz, they had not proceeded very far however, before they were in a sea of trouble, many of the ladies bitterly objected to Mrs. Johnson for it seems that she displayed poor or very bad taste in either holding or having her rich or elegant pink gown fastened up so high from the bottom that it was not much trouble for any one who are unable to see any better than yourself not only to behold her lovely shaped ankle but to see almost up to her knees and as the dancers and others beheld that enchanting sight they started in loudly hiss Mr. and Mrs. Johnson who were finally forced to withdraw from the main floor before the waltz had been finished and retire to their seats, up stairs where they remained until near 12 o'clock, then as they started to leave the hall they walked round the gallery passing the ladies dressing rooms, coming down the steps near the main entrance to the hall, where a large number of hissing men and women had collected who had to be forced back by some of the soldiers, who hastily rushed to that point to protect Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. Many of the best Afro-American, women in this city attending the ball, joined in the hissing. Mrs. Johnson was ablaze with diamonds and other jewels from head to foot. She wore a diamond rope, which was very dazzling to behold. The many cut diamonds composing it, were so brilliant, that it would almost blind a person to gaze upon it more than one minute at a time and it must have cost from $15,000 to $25,000, it and the other diamonds, jewels and her entire costume, represented more wealth, than was invested in diamonds and other finery, worn by all the other ladies and it is safe to say the men too, and under any other circumstances regardless of her color; Mrs. Johnson would have been easily declared the [Picture of a woman with a high hairstyle, wearing a white dress with a high collar.] MRS.

For without any question about it, she is ravishingly beautiful, with fine and well chiseled features, and wears a kind expression on her face, and her brilliant eyes, seem to be full at all times with love and sympathy. The writer shook hands with Mr. Johnson, just before he withdrew from the ball and he seemed to be somewhat nervous over the unpleasant situation which had confronted him and Mrs. Johnson. One year ago, Mr. Johnson, and his first wife Mrs. Etta Johnson, attended the Knights of Pythias ball, at the Coliseum Annex, in company with his mother and sisters. The whole party was well received and they danced to their hearts content and no objections was raised to Mrs. Johnson, on account of her color or nationality.

It was the past reputation of the present Mrs. Johnson, and the wide publicity given to her marriage to Mr. Johnson which participated the unfriendly and hostile demonstration against them at the 8th Regiment ball. One of our dashing lady friends, who is just as fair in every way as Mrs. Johnson, and no one possessing the most critical eye, can not in any manner, shape or form detect the slightest trace of African blood in her veins nor in the features of her face, in discussing the affair, said the "reason that she hated Mr. Johnson, and joined in the hissing against him, was, that "he had utterly failed to show the proper amount of respect for the memory of his first wife, Mrs. Etta Johnson, who ended her life, with her own hands in this city only a short time ago." For our part we felt real sorry for Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and it was too bad that they did not remain quietly in their seats during the progress of the ball and not have attempted to have joined in the dancing. They must both learn that once in awhile there are some few things in this old wicked world that they cannot buy with all their money.

Intent upon freeing himself from all influences which might interfere with his work as chief executive of the State, Governor William Sulzer has resigned his membership in all organizations and clubs here, except the National Democratic Club, the Manhattan Club and the Democratic Club of his own political district. The Governor-elect will journey to Albany next Monday. He has wound up his law business and all other business affairs and is prepared to devote himself exclusively to the administration of the State Government. Mr. Sulzer is giving up his apartments down here and for the next few months will turn down practically all dinner invitations, and they come to him at the rate of about fifty every day. He has told his friends that he expects to remain at the Capitol until after the Legislature has adjourned, applying himself unremittingly to his new duties. Governor Sulzer has not as yet announced whom he will appoint to the vacancies on the two Public Service Commissions, though there is every reason to believe that his prospective appointees for those places have been picked, too. --- Booker T. Washington the Great Wizard of Tuskeyee does not like to share his popularity with Jack Johnson The distinguished leader and scholar, Dr. Booker T. Washington, has changed his policy of a lifetime, namely: never to publicly condemn a member of his own race by name on account of any error of judgment or conduct. His recent singling out of Jack Johnson, his only serious rival in popularity with the Colored people of the country, has attracted widespread attention and won for him much applause at the hands of some White people in this great country of ours. His first denunciation of the celebrated pugilist was upon the occasion of an address delivered by him in Detroit, Mich. Reports state that he followed up this policy in Philadelphia and that the celebrated and honored Theodore Roosevelt also received a "back-handed lick," so to speak, on account of his recent political deviations. It is refreshening and enlightening though to hear from the well known educator after the many months of silence. As President Taft has invited President-elect Wilson to the White House, it may be that the far-seeing and "right-side-up-with-care" educator may yet be able to retain favor at the presidential mansion and be an important factor in affairs about the White House, in case that Bishop Alexander Walters should "be weighed in the balances and found wanting." But why is it that Dr. Washington has changed his policy of a lifetime? Does it portend some trouble for the Colored people as a result of Jack Johnson's private action, of which the majority of the Colored people—and a large majority of them—do not approve? We assume that we must wait and see. We have not had anything to say about this "Jack Johnson business" for the reason that it was none of our business. It is a question of doubt-expedience, this "living" into White or Colored men's social affairs. If carried out to its logical conclusion, it would revolutionize conditions in the Southland where White men and Colored women live in open concubinage and "raise up children unto Abraham." So we have been disposed to let Jack Johnson alone. The type of woman whom he married may be all right, but from the information furnished, there are many Though the Sulzers will go to Albany on Monday, they will not install themselves in the Executive Mansion until New Year's Day, because the Dix family will not move out. It is Mr. Sulzer's purpose not to visit the Executive Mansion, which will be his home for two years, until he has been sworn in as Governor. Many friends, including Lieutenant-Governor-elect Martin H. Glynn, have invited Mr. and Mrs. Sulzer to be their guests until they get settled in their Albany home, but the Governor-elect has not yet determined whether he will go to a private house or a hotel. Mr. Sulzer spends much time here at his Broadway office. He is overrun with visitors and place-hunters. "No appointments to-day, and there may be none until I reach Albany," he said to-day. The will be a special Kings County Democratie delegation train for Albany next Wednesday. There is to be no special Tammany train. John H. McOoey and his Brooklyn followers to the number of a thousand will attend the inauguration ceremonies, but it is the present plan of Charles F. Murphy not to attend. Nor is there to be a demonstration of any kind by Tam- No.14 White women in Chicago who have taken up with Colored men and the men are to be pitied rather than the women. "Verily, they have their reward." We have never been able to understand why a Colored man should want to marry a White woman, when it is a fact that there are scores of White men after Colored ones. There has been much prejudice aroused against us as a people on account of the alleged fondness of some of our men for White women, but the great mass of Colored men have no such feeling. The average Colored person in the Southland has antipathy to Colored men who associate with and marry White women. These men are practically outlawed among their own people. Still, from the standpoint of personal liberty, a White man has the moral right to marry a Colored woman and vice versa. Colored people in the Southland universally believe that it is a case of "mighty poor" judgment, and they feel disposed to ostracise both the male and the female of such a contracting union. We do not see why though that Jack Johnson should be pilloried for his action. He has selected the woman of his choice and the other one has not as yet turned to dust again. We are of the opinion that "the less said the sooner mended," and this applies to us as well as to the distinguished Wizard of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. We had hoped that the great pugilist would have seen fit to follow the life of single-blessedness and steer clear of the sea of marital troubles. The girl's mother, aided by the Negro haters of Chicago, forced this union no doubt, and Jack Johnson poses as a martyr. He is the slave of his passions, his appetites and his desires. He is not as popular today among his own people as he was a few months ago, and whereas, if Colored people had the power he might have sat in the White House, today it is doubtful if he could be elected a city scavenger. Jack Johnson has made money and now he is spending it. He has reached the goal of wealth and he is now leaving it in a wild chase after poverty again.

TUBERCULOSIS WAR. Big Increase Over 1911—New York \ Leads. Nearly $19,000,000 was spent in the anti-tuberculosis campaign in the Unit: ed States during the year 1912, accord: ing to the fourth annual statistical statement of expenditures in this movement issued by the National Asso- ciation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis today. ‘These annual statements are based largely on reports received from anti-tuberculosis agen- cies throughout the country. The fig: ures are estimated where actual re- ports are not available. ‘The expenditures during the year for sanatorium and hospital construction and treatment make the largest single ‘item in the total, amounting to nearly $16,800,000. This is an increase of nearly $5,000,000 over the same group of expenditures for the year 1911. The anti-tuberculosis associations and com- mittees spent over $765,000, while dis- pensaries and tuberculosis clinies spent over $500,000. Over $115,000 was spent for the maintenance and establishment of open-air schools and fresh air = which is more than double the it spent for this purpose in 1911. Of cial, state and municipal expenditures outside of the maintenance of institu- tions, which are included in the other totals, amounted to $280,000. In addi- tion to these figures, about $500,000 was spent by hospitals for insane and penal institutions in caring for their tuberculous inmates. ‘The total expenditures for the year 1912 are 29 per cent.; or nearly $4,500,- 000 greater than the total for the year 1911, Another significant feature pointed out by the National Association is the expenditure of public money. During the year 1912, 65.6 per cent. of the $18,900,000 spent in tuberenlosis work came from either federal, state, county or municipal funds, This fig- ure is considered by the anti-tubercu- losis workers as particularly signifi- cant because it indicates the shifting of responsibility for the provision of tuberculosis hospitals and other insti- tutions upon the municipality, county and state. New York State again leads the country in its antituberculosis ex- penditures. Pennsylvania comes next and Massachusetts and Colorado are in third and fourth places, respectively. The following table shows the esti- mated public and private expenditures from tuberculosis in the ten leading states: | ‘Expenditures in i912. State Poblle.

NEGRO BEATS WHITE WOMAN FOUND IN BLACK HUSBAND'S | COMPANY. Canton, Ohio—While a crowd of sev. ‘eral hundred persons, mostly wom en, looked on and applauded, Mrs. Har ry Johnson, a Colored woman, armed with a club, beat a White woman whom she found in the company of her hus. band, a Negro, in a crowded downtown street here today. While his wife was beating his White companion, Johnson, who is six feet four inches tall and weighs over 200 pounds, stood helplessly to one side. He took no part in the disturbanee. ‘The White woman is said to have been well dressed and good looking. When Mrs, Johnson went home her husband followed. She telephoned po lice headquarters and had him locked up. Now, why? There are always two sides to every question —Ex. WHITE GENTLEMAN IN RICH. MOND, VA. DELIGHTS TO ASSO. CIATE WITH COLORED PEOPLE. It is right disgusting to read of the hypoerisy of some White folks. A White man was arraigned before the police court of Richmond, Va., the other day, and he declared that he pre- ferred to live with Negroes rather than his own race. There is a great many of these kind of White men in the South, but they never make such a bold declaration of the fact as this man; and when the police justice decided that the fellow must be erazy he. was certainly telling the truth, because generally the aver- age White man who consorts with Ne groes under cover are usually the most bitter enemies of the Negro in public. ‘He usually tries to make his White friends and acquaintances believe that he hates a Negto in his sight—Ex.

Like a bar of the beaten gold But foolish is he who treadeth on me. He'll wish he had never been born. Like the flower of the field, vain man Goeth forth at the break of day, But when he doth feel my grip on his heel Like the stubble he fadeth away. For I lift him high up in the air. With his heels where his head ought to be. With a downcoming crash he falls like a flash, And I know he's clean gone upon me. I am much scorned by haughty mankind; I am modest and meek, if you will; Though my talents are few, yet the work that I do Has often taxed medical skill. I'm a blood red Republican born, And a nihilist fearless I be. Though the head wear a crown, I would bring its pride down If it sets its proud heel upon me. -Tit-Bits. Why He Limped. "I admire a liar," says William Alden Seltzer, the Cleveland author of wild west stories, "even when his prevarications strain my credulity. A friend of mine who objects to my efforts to pry into his personal affairs recently limped into my west side workshop. "What's the matter with your feet? I asked, more to be polite than because I cared what was the trouble. Then he gained my everlasting admiration by a display of nerve and mendacity I never saw equaled. "An 'eel stepped on 'em!' he said."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Getting the Future Meal [Scientists declare they soon will be able to extract food directly from the atmosphere.—News item.] All circumjacent atmosphere is packed and jammed with food. But means for its extraction are at present writing crude. Potatoes haunt the autumn air, andborne on every breeze Are onions, though invisible and quite unseen, there’s cheese. The panicles of the azure floats and maple sugar, too. While from the zephyr steaks may fall as gently as the dew. When science has contrived the way reach forth with either hand And from low lying strata pluck “soft bolled” and eke “ham and.” The future rain will be of tea or coffee And heaven drop, of cake and pie, the kinds that hit the spot. —New York Evening Sun. GLOBE THE STARTING After Election "The time has come," the voter said, "To think of other things— Of making dough for daily bread And paying rent, by fingers." A Fair Warning.

In general birds are restricted to certain geographical areas, although the same fishing eagle that inhabits the shores of Scotland is seen in south Europe. Blanched Almonds If almonds after being blanched are plunged into cold water they will keep snow white. To blanch them it is best to put them into cold water and let it come just to the boiling point. Many Patent Documents If all the documents stored in the patent office at Washington could be placed end to end they would form a strip that would reach around the earth three times. Library Buildings. The writer of a book entitled "How to Plan a Library Building For Library Work" says, "I not only believe, but know, that 1 per cent of the cost of building put into employing a really competent expert librarian to collaborate with the architect will save from 10 to 40 per cent on the cost in space, convenience and material." Hoist With His Own Petard The Regent Morton of Scotland, who invented the maiden, a sort of guillotine, was the first to be beheaded thereby. This was in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Islands of the Amazon The mighty Amazon river abounds in floating islands whose underpinning of mud is washed away gradually by the currents, and then the isles, mere patches and pads of earth, roots and tropical vegetation. float slowly seaward or are dissolved, stranded, sunk or washed into the Atlantic. Cad. From cadet, the younger son, who was looked upon with scorn by his older and richer brother—"Oh, he's only a cad," only a cadet, having no property and not worth notice. Alexander the Great. Alexander succeeded to the throne of Macedonia in his twenty-first year. He died at the age of thirty-two. Thus in the space of about twelve years the young soldier had brought the Greek states into submission, crushed Darius and his million of Persians and crossed the Indus and defeated the Indian king Porus. Alexander was not merely a brutal conqueror, but tried to weld the various countries into a solid empire. Oatmeal Jelly. To make oatmeal jelly boil four tablespoonfuls of oatmeal in one pint of water (in a double boiler) for three hours, adding water from time to time, and then strain. English Literature In Bulgaria. Bulgaria is the most literary of the Balkan states, and the works of English writers have a considerable vogue there, both in the original and in translations. The Turk's Dinner Rarely indeed is a wealthy Turk seen at his wife's dinner table. He usually dines in a part of the house remote from that occupied by his connubial partner or partners, and his companions are generally his elder sons and perhaps some male friends. Baby Superstitions Welsh mothers put a pair of tongs or a knife in the cradle to insure the safety of their children. The knife is also used for the same purpose in some parts of England. Red Hair. History shows that no great genius ever had red hair. Alone among the poets of the world was Swinburne, whose hair was distinctly reddish, and among the great reformers only John Bunyan's hair was really red. The simon pure carroty head, however, appears nowhere linked to world fame. Mica. To clean mica in stoves tike it out and thoroughly wash it with vinegar slightly diluted. If the black does not come off readily let it soak in the vinegar a little while. Saves the Books Insects will never attack books that are dusted once a year with powdered alum and white pepper. Three parts of alum should be used to one of pepper. Wooden Spoons In Russia The peasant class in Russia, which forms 77 per cent of the total population, still uses the wooden spoon. The people of this class cannot afford steel knives and forks and never have plated silverware. The middle classes use steel and plated ware, and the wealthy classes usually have sterling. Snob. In some English college lists those who were not of noble birth were entered as a. nob. -sine nobilitate. Thackray grafted the word snob on the English language. Cork. The best cork comes from trees in Spain and Portugal that are allowed to become forty years old before the bark is cut, and then it is removed only every eight or ten years. Cats and Dogs. A Japanese saying runs: "Feed a cat three years and she remembers you three days; keep a dog three days and he will cherish it three years." "Your boy seems to be stronger on athletics than he is on the classics." "Yes," replied the candid parent. "He explained that to me. He says he knows I am much more likely to understand and appreciate what he is doing in athletics."—Washington Star. He sang to her under the window. He told of the peaceful night; He sang. "How serenely quiet Is all 'neath the stars so bright!' But just as he reached the stanza That ended with 'silver moon' Her father appeared at the window, And he instantly changed his tune. —Lippincott's Magazine Pouting Wife—You used to call me the light of your life.

A two years' course in forestry has been instituted at the University of Wisconsin to meet the demand for trained forest rangers. More than a thousand schoolteachers in the Netherlands are banded together in an association for temperance work among their pupils. At a conference of Swedish teachers recently it was emphasized that instruction in domestic science in the schools must deal principally with the substantial things instead of the "caramel and tart" kind.

It has just about got so in this country that a woman can always tell when she is getting stout by the hard time she has in getting her skirt on without a shoe horn—Galveston News.

Japan has more telephones than all the rest of Asia. Within three years a quarter of a million new telephones have been installed in farm houses in the United States. The telephone has invaded Jerusalem, a system having been installed that connects official points, business houses and some residences. Aviation Notes. The British aeroplane fleet comprises about fifty machines, of which some thirty are practicable modern craft. Following the example of the French, the British government has decided to use only biplanes for military purposes. The many deaths that have occurred is the obvious reason. According to European figures, the fatalities now attending aviation hardly exceed one death for each 100,000 miles flown as compared with one for each 1,000 miles three years ago.

If I were only a galley slave With a manacle on my wrist And a ball attached to my ankle bare And a tough oar in my fist I'd be happy as happy could be Sweeping the waves of the restless sea. But I'm cast for the copy desk instead, Tolling with pencil and racking my head, Cursing at copy boys, answering phones, Cutting and slashing regardless of moans, Grinding out headlines and raving in vain For a story as big as the wreck of the Maine. Bluntly porters and bulling the boss, Figuring dope on the last fire loss, Yelling for paper and paste in a breath And more fearful of scoops than of grim Yelling for paper and paste in a breath And more fearful of scoops than of grim, skinny Death. Oh, happy the slave as he sweeps o'er the sea. Two men who really did not want to fight, but had got the idea that it would be disgraceful not to do so, fell to blows.
