FULL STATEMENT OF THE EXPIRY 12, 1914 FURNISHED BY THE AS THE FOLLOWING COMMUNI Right at the very beginning it seems that it is eminently proper to bring forth to the light of day the following communications which passed between the Hon. James J. Brady, auditor of public accounts, Springfield, Illinois and Julius F. Taylor, and they speak for themselves. The letters and the itemized statement which follows, in our humble opinion should be amply sufficient to convince each and every sane person residing within the confines of this city and the State of Illinois that we are adhering to the truth and nothing but the absolute truth in this respect that at all times we shall cling to the truth though the heavens fall and the sun and the moon refuse to shine forth in all of their brilliancy and splendor. Chicago, Ill., June 9, 1914. Hon. James J. Brady. State House, Springfield, Ill. Dear Sir:—As one of the tax payers of this state, I wish to have you send me an itemized statement of all money so far expended in connection with the State Commission appointed to make arrangements for the Celebration of the Fifty years of freedom among the Colored People in Illinois in 1915. As I am anxious to ascertain what proportion of the Twenty-five Thousand Dollars appropriated by the last Legislature for that purpose is still on hand. Very respectfully, JULIUS F. TAYLOR, Editor of The Broad Ax, 5027 Federal St. State of Illinois, Office of the Auditor of Public Accounts, Springfield. June 16, 1914. Julius F. Taylor. 5027 Federal Street, Chicago, Ill. Dear Sir;—In compliance with your request of the 9th inst., I am enclosing herewith an itemized statement of disbursements of the Commissioners of the 50th Anniversary of the Emancipation. Kindly forward me your check for $1.00 to cover the cost of compiling this statement. Yours very truly, JAMES J. BRADY, Auditor of Public Accounts. The official itemized statement of disbursements of all money in connection with the members of the commission set forth the fact that the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann are busily engaged in gobbling onto money right and left night and day and if they keep up their present rate in eating away at the twenty-five thousand dollars, not over ten dollars of it will be left by the time they are ready to celebrate the fifty years of freedom among the Colored People in this state in 1915. As secretary of the state commission Col. Swann receives $125 per month aside from the pickings and the trimmings which are worth at least from one to two hundred dollars more per month. As stated in these columns last week that we have every reason to believe that the tax payers of this state chipped in $65, to liquidate the expenses in connection with the recent trip of the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. to Washington, D. C., as it will be noted that the last item in the statement charged up to him calls for that amount of money and if the Rev. gentleman did not expend the $65, for that purpose, we will cheerfully give him all the free space in these columns that he desires at any time to fully ex- CHICAGO, JUNE 27, 1914 The Illinois State Freedom of the in 1915, by Hundred Twenty-Five Th So far N in that D HON.

James Hale Porter who has for the past fifty years more or less, has contributed more raw wind and noisy oratory for the advancement of the Colored race in this country, than any other living person in the United States, pulls in $100, per month as field agent for the commission. It will be recalled that in 1902, Col. Porter who is one of our very best friends was the director general of the middle states and Miss. Valley exposition which was held at the 1st Regiment Armory for the benefit of the Old Folks Home and not being conducted properly for some cause or other it was a dismal failure and some say that in the wind up the various exhibits were attached for the rent of the Armory and for other expenses. There is one thing that is still clear in our mind's eye and that is that the writer was held up for $35 to $40 for advertising the affair and not one dollar of that sum of money belonging to us ever blowed or come our way. Only a few years ago Col. Porter and the Hon. Giles B. Jackson of Richmond, Va., were the head chiefs or the director generals of the Colored people's end of the famous Jamestown exposition which ended in utter failure and in disgrace. Therefore if he makes good in his present position as Field agent for the state commission he will greatly astonish the natives. state Comm on the Part have Alrea wenty-Seve thousand D nothing has Direction It was not generally known that the late lamented Major John C.

It is a pleasure to state, that since November 1, 1899, down to the present time, former Governor William Sulzer of New York City, has been a constant and steadfast reader of The Broad Ax, and we have no truer nor warmer friends in any part of this country, than Governor and Mrs. William Sulzer. Mrs. Sulzer is a very estimable lady, being not only deeply interested in the success of her husband in every way, but she is also deeply interested in the civil and political as well as the material advancement of the Colored race.—Editor. EX-ALDERMAN JOHN J. BRADLEY WILL MAKE THE RACE FOR TREASURER OF COOK COUNTY. The first of this week, Ex-Alderman John J.

THREE COLORED DEPUTIES IN FRENCH PARLIAMENT. Presence No Longer Causes Comment in Paris—Came From French Colonial Possessions—Each Powerful in Home District. Negro members of the French Chamber of Deputies are now no longer regarded with curiosity, for their representation has been increased by the recent general elections. There are now three Black men sitting in Parliament, whereas formerly there was a sole member. Of different color, they come from the colonial possessions of France, where each holds a position of consequence and where each is as powerful as a political boss. Mrs. James A. Scott, 1205 N.

Ex-UnitedStatesSenator William Lorimer, the Broken Banker, Permitted the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. TO PULL $1,000 OF THE DEPOSITORS MONEY FROM HIS BUSTED BANK ON FLIMSY OR WILDCAT SECURITY. AS THE REV. GENTLEMAN OWNS A FINE HOME IN HIS OWN NAME AT 3416 VERNON AVENUE HIS I. O. U. IS O. K. THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE WHICH IS THE GREATEST NEWSPAPER IN THE WORLD STATED IN ITS ISSUE LAST MONDAY MORNING THAT MANY CHEAP WHITE DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS DEPENDED UPON THE POLITICAL PASTOR OF INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH TO BOSS AND CONTROL THE COLORED VOTERS IN THIS CITY FOR THEM. THE HON. WILLIAM L. MARTIN SOUNDS THE PRAISES OF HIS FRIEND THE HON. THOMAS WALLACE SWANN, HE IS OF THE OPINION THAT HE IS THE GREATEST BENEFACTOR OF THE COLORED RACE IN THIS COUNTRY. THAT IN AS MUCH AS COL. SWANN COMMANDED THE LAST LEGISLATURE OF ILLINOIS TO APPROPRIATE THE $25,000 TO ENABLE THE COLORED PEOPLE TO CELEBRATE THEIR FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM IN THIS STATE IN 1915. THAT HE SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO FREELY SPEND ANY PART OR ALL OF THAT SUM OF MONEY TO SUIT HIMSELF. The Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., is noted for reaching out in every direction after easy money and it appears that ex-United States senator William Lorimer, permitted him to dive down into the money which belonged to the depositors of his busted bank—and to walk away with one thousand dollars, under the pretext that he was signing up the filmsy or wild cat security for the benefit of his friend attorney J. Gray Lucas but we rather suspect that most of the money found its way into his pockets as he never does anything for anyone for nothing. There is one thing in favor of the bank's creditors finally compelling him to cough up their money for he owns a fine home in his own name at 3416 Vernon Ave., and William C. Niblack, receiver for the La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank can enter suit against him, secure judgment against him and take his fine house away from him if he fails to come across with the one thousand dollars. The Chicago Tribune, which is the greatest newspaper in the world, for it is always fighting in favor of the rights of the great mass of the common people and against permitting dishonest politicians occupying high places of trust and honor, so that they can the more readily rob and plunder those beneath them, stated in its issue Monday that many cheap White politicians both Democratic and Republican always depended upon the tricky political pastor of the Institutional Church to boss and control the Colored voters in this city for them. If the great mass of Colored people in this city was in the possession of the least bit of courage and manhood they would rise up in their might and from henceforth rebuke and prevent the Rev. HAVE FAITH IN SULZER. Many Colored Citizens Favor Return of Former Governor to High Office. HARLEM VOTERS ORGANIZE. Knowing His Willingness and Desire to Govern Fair and Impartially Men in Upper Section of City, Start Interesting Boom for Man Severely Wroneed by Tammany. William Sulzer, the noted ex- and deposed Governor of New York State, due to his absolute failure to yield to the behest of the bosses, is again a candidate for the gubernatorial honors. Again the people are with him. It is an established fact that William Sulzer is the choice of the people and not the bosses, holding high, above all things, manhood and the rights of the people. He conserved his honor by his stout declination to submit to the plotters who had designs upon the State's treasury. Notwithstanding the malicious and dastardly actions of unscrupulous politicians, the popularity of the Governor asserted itself right and left and was further attested when, ten days after his deposition, he was returned to the Assembly chamber with an overwhelming vote, as an expression of the people's sympathy. Again and again, he has been appealed to enter the race by those who have an abiding faith in him as an honest, capable and efficient executive. As a champion for the rights of the people, regardless of race, creed or color, William Sulzer has no - Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. from riding into political power on their backs in order to enable him to secure a job for himself or for some member of his family. It was our extreme pleasure the first of this week to come in close contact with our warm friend the Hon. William L. Martin and he sounded the praise of his friend the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann to our heart's content, he is firmly of the opinion that Col. Swann is the greatest benefactor of the Colored race in this country. That inasmuch as he single handed and alone commanded the last Legislature of Illinois to appropriate the $25,000 to enable the Colored people to celebrate their fifty years of freedom in this state in 1915. That he should be permitted to freely spend any part or all of that sum of money which is nothing more than so much chicken feed to him, to suit himself. Mr. Martin also contended in the presence of Attorney Walter M. Farmer and Col. Milton T. Bailey, that "Mr. Swann is a very dangerous man, that during his past career he has shot three men, that he carries several bullet holes around in his body." Friend Martin further maintained that we all are forced to pay taxes, some pay taxes direct and others pay indirect to their landlords when they pay their office or room rent, that is all very well as far as it goes but it does not go far enough for sometimes for some cause or other those renting offices and rooms may refuse to pay any rent and then those who pay direct taxes are compelled to shoulder all the burdens and responsibilities in the way of assisting to uphold and to maintain the local, state and national government. peer, and the consensus of opinion among Colored people particularly, whose interest he has fostered along with others impartially, is that he should be Governor, for fresh in the minds of the people stands glowingly before them the Emancipation, the Regimental and Levy bills, which the eminent gentleman and Governor signed without fear or favor. In signing these bills, the Governor won the admiration of the Colored people, especially, and all fair-minded people of all colors. As an expression of confidence, the forces now rallying to his candidacy indicate that William Sulzer will be the next Governor of New York State, and that men of all parties, who love and adore courage, will support him. Colonel Alexander S. Bacon, chairman, and Samuel Bell Thomas, secretary, of the Sulzer Nomination Committee, with headquarters at 203 Broadway, are men who can be relied upon to manage his campaign and bring it to a successful and happy issue. Many of the Colored voters of Harlem have arranged to work for the nomination and election of former Governor Sulzer. They have headquarters at 475 Lenox avenue and L. J. Williams is president assisted by George W. Johnson, Moses Diggs. A meeting was held recently and much enthusiasm manifested.-The Amsterdam News, New York City, June 20, 1914.

Being practical, and having the necessary qualifications, having graduated from both the law and the Theological schools fitting him for such a place. His executive ability The Rev. E. J. Fisher, D. D., LL. D., who has startled the county with the announcement of his candidacy for the Legislature of the first Senatorial district. If there is a place for the man, then he is the man for the place. He will not make the race solely as a Negro; but in that largest sense, as an American citizen. If nominated, and to a very large degree, of this he feels assured he will represent the whole Senatorial district, and give to his constituents, every consideration that an honest public servant ought to give to those whom he represents. He did not enter the race, nor accept the request to run, without giving the matter serious study, and not then, until several committees, consisting of the most influential, White as well as Colored friends of the district, had waited upon him, and urged upon him, the wisdom of entering the race. And why not? The last General Assembly was graced with the presence of the Rev. Dr. F. E. J. Lloyd, and the citizens had no serious reasons for alarm, yet the very presence of this good man, did much for the purification of that august body. So will the presence of Dr. E. J. Fisher, grace that august assembly. Dr. Fisher is pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, 27th and Dearborn street, an institution worthy of the highest notice, with a splendid service of systematic operation, doing good to all who enter her gates, or come to her doors for suceor. It is the Home of helpfulness to the unfortunate and many men, women and children have received encouragement from the hands of this Christian Minister of the Gospel.

Secretary of State Harry Woods to day issued the following statement: "As a unique illustration of dignified neutrality our beloved Governor still holds the blue ribbon. He was to have announced in February for whom he would be for United States senators. Several of the down state candidates were afraid that they might be selected some of them are still hopeful. The governor states in an article appearing this morning, 'The positions of governor, lieutenant-governor, secretary of state and auditor are filled by men from Cook county.' This is true, but this was no fault of the governor, as he would gladly have represented Cook county, were it not for the operation of the primary law. The governor, no doubt, will explain why the speaker of the house of representatives was a Cook county man and why the chairman of the appropriation committee (the most important committee of the house), was a Cook county man and a Republican. It is also historical that James Hamilton Lewis, one of the United States senators is from Chicago. But the other senator is a down state man and Governor Dunne had to resurrect him from the Republicans political grave yard. A down state Democrat could have been selected by the legislature last year, if the governor had been as anxious for a down state Democrat as he was Bv L. W. Washington. are now in business, have not only received good advice from him but his financial aid as well. Being practical, and having the necessary qualifications, having graduated from both the law and the Theological schools fitting him for such a place. His executive ability can not be gain said, nor lightly attacked without the enemy realizing that they have met a giant of intellectual strength. He of all others in the race, representing the republican party, is worthy because for 36 years he has stood for its principles, fought its battles, helped its sons to pre-eminence, honored its daughters in their fight for political freedom, gone at the request of the bureaus, addressing audiences all over this country; gave of his means to help the cause, without receiving a dollar, neither asking for a position, as a reward for such faithful service. And now comes the party, and offers at least its gratitude, by offering to give him the nomination at their hands in September. Do you think that such a man will fail to represent you in the Legislative Halls of this our beloved state, I think not. Dr. Fisher is a lawyer as well as an able minister of the Gospel: A financier of no ordinary worth, a tax payer in the State of Illinois, a Christian gentleman of refinement and culture, a man with very large experience having to deal with the needs of humanity for years, his life has been, and is now being spent in behalf of human welfare. He is the poor man's friend and the rich man's advisor, a man of the people, truly representative character, one worthy of the highest commendation, what think you voter about such a man. He is the Honored President of the State Convention of Illinois of the western Baptist Convention. Dr. E. J. Fisher, who enters the race with malice toward none, with charity for all, is asking you for your suffrage. for a down state Republican. Lewis was chosen senator with 97 Democratic votes (Representative Kane was absent that day) and four Progressive voters, this with Kane present would have made 102, but one vote short of a choice. If Governor Dunne is as anxious for Sherman's return to the senate as he was for his election to that body, his open advocacy of Sullivan's nomination would be no less convincing, than his continuance in the best appointments under him of Sullivan's most loyal supporters. The governor says that 'Illinois is a great state,' but he fails to state whom he favors as a down state candidate. "HARRY WOODS." —The Record, Springfield, Ill., June 22, 1914. MME.

Thomas Wallace Swann ARE ENDEAVORING TO GRAB $150,000 FROM BOTH BRANCHES OF CONGRESS, WASHINGTON, D. C., IN ORDER TO INCREASE THEIR PERSONAL REVENUE OR INCOME AT THE EXPENSE OF ALL THE TAX PAYERS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THEY CLAIM THAT THEY WANT THE MONEY TO ASSIST TO CELEBRATE THE FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM IN 1915. THEY SUCCEEDED IN MILKING THE LEGISLATURE OF ILLINOIS OUT OF $25,000 AND NOW THEY ARE MAKING AN EFFORT IN A BOLD AND BRAZEN FACED MANNER TO MILK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OUT OF $150,000. SO THAT THEY WILL BE ENABLED TO PILE UP ALL THE MONEY THAT THEY WILL NEED AS LONG AS THEY LIVE ON THIS EARTH. LATELY THE UNSAVORY POLITICAL PASTOR OF THE INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH JOURNEYED TO WASHINGTON PRESUMEDLY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE TAX-PAYERS OF THIS STATE WHERE HE MADE A SPEECH BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON INDUSTRIAL ARTS, ETC. OF THE LOWER HOUSE OF CONGRESS. ASKING AND URGING IT TO TURN OVER OR APPROPRIATE THE ABOVE MENTIONED SUM OF MONEY FOR HIS ONE STATE CELEBRATION. NO COMMITTEE IN EITHER BRANCH OF CONGRESS SHOULD DIVERT OR APPROPRIATE THE PEOPLE'S MONEY FOR SUCH AN ENTERPRISE FOR IT WOULD BE RECKLESSLY SQUANDERED OR EXPENDED. BY A LOT OF DISHONEST COLD BLOODED SCHEMERS WHO HAVE NOT THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COLORED RACE AT HEART AND WHO ARE SIMPLY IN THE GAME IN ORDER TO BAKE IN THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF EASY MONEY. As further evidence that the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph., D.D.D., labors under the impression that he and his handmaid or chambermaid the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, who are both heavy loadstones around the necks of the better class of Afro-Americans, entertain the idea that they are the only real pebbles on the beach or grains of sand upon the seashore or the only true leaders of the Colored race, are right at this time endeavoring to grab or rake in one hundred and fifty thousand dollars from both branches of congress at Washington, D.C., under the pretext that the money will be used to expand the scope of their Colored celebration of freedom which they claim that they will hold somewhere in this city or state in 1915, but in reality they want that vast sum of money for the sole purpose of increasing their own personal revenue or income at the expense of all the tax payers throughout the United States. For we all are perfectly aware of the fact that the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. is the greatest single handed all hog grabber in the wide world. It is too true that with the assistance of several honest men who thought for a short time only that Messrs. Carey and Swann were square and on the dead level, that they did succeed in milking the legislature of Illinois out of $25,000, which caused them to act like unto crazy or drunken men and they both imagine that they are toting the whole world around in their hip pocket and that it and everything in it and that all the people swarming over the face of the earth were simply created for their sole benefit and to enable them to feather their own nests. Becoming very desperate for more money in a bold and brazen faced manner they have started in to milk or work the federal government out of $150,000 and if they are successful in rabbing it off they will be in a splendid position to pile up all the money that they will need as long as they live on this old earth. Only a few weeks ago the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., the unsavory political pastor of the Institutional church, journeyed to Washington, D. C. presumed at the NEIGHBORS AND GREEN NEGO- TIATED THE LONG TERM LEASE WHERE THE NEW ELITE NO. 2 WILL BE CONSTRUCTED. It was exclusively stated in The Broad Ax last week, that Henry Jones and Art Codozoe, would construct the New Elite No. 2 which will be located near the C. and C. Hotel, on the east side of State street, near 35th. The building will be two stories high. The Buffet and Cafe will be located on the main floor. The second floor will be exclusively used for a dining room which will be one of the finest in this country. Money nor expense will not be spared in fitting it up with the most elaborate furniture and other fixings. It will be more than one hundred feet long. A string orchestra will discourse the best of music each evining to delight the diners. The building is to be completed by November 1. William D. Neighbors and Edward D. Green. 3613 S. State expense of the taxpayers of this state, for the special purpose of delivering a rip-roaring spread eagle speech before the committee on Industrial arts, etc., of the lower house of Congress, asking or commanding it to turn over or blindly appropriate the above mentioned sum of money and ask no questions as to how it is to be blown in for his one state celebration in 1915, which can never become national in any sense of the word. It seems that the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., is more than firmly convinced that he himself the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann and the Hon. James Hale Porter, his two maid servants or lackies are the sole head and front of the Colored race in America and that all the Colored people in this country—that is if they desire to continue to want to reside in it must fall down and worship at their unwashed feet. It is entirely too late to attempt to get up a Colored National Exposition, and confine it to the State of Illinois. For those at the head of the commission, of this state, claim; that they will hold their show in Chicago during the month of August 1915, in the Eighth Regiment Armory, which so far, is not under construction in the slightest degree. In 1920 would be a much better time, for the better class of Afro-Americans, throughout the country to attempt to get up a National Exposition; for possibly by that time, Mayor Carter H. Harrison and Governor Edward F. Dunne, may be routed out of office, and Messrs. Carey, Swann and Porter, may be called on to transform themselves into bright shining angels and that they will be willing to wing their way on to heaven. Therefore, no committee in either branch of Congress, should divert or appropriate $150,000 of the peoples money, for such a doubtful enterprise, for it would be recklessly squandered or expended; by a lot of dishonest, cold blooded schemers, who have not the best interest of the Colored race at heart, and who are simply in the game in order to rake in thousands and thousands of dollars, of real easy money. street, negotiated the long term lease for Messrs.

We learn that Mr. and Mrs. McCauley of 5465 Kimbark Ave., Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Paris of 5424 Kenwood Ave. contemplates moving on 47th and Evans . . . The Rev. Robertson gave a very entertaining and practical talk last Sunday evening to the people of the Hyde Park A. M. E. Church. His subject was "God was like the environment of an individual all around you." Often when men looked to hear his voice from above and in front of them, it came from behind them, whether in the Church or not, it depended much how closely one was in touch with his maker daily. That men could be excused for attending to their duties during week days, but there could not be any reasonable excuse for giving Him your service on the Lord's Day. Brev. J. E. Ford, of Jacksonville, Florida, is spending the week with his sister Mrs. Chas. R. Hunter, of 1300 E. St. Rev. Ford and Mrs. Hunter and her little son Billie will depart July 1st, to visit their sister, Mrs. Lola Edwards of St. Paul, Minn. Mrs. Hunter and son will spend the summer there. Mr. Alonzo Chandler and bride is on their bridal tour visiting his mother and brother. Mr. Geo. Chandler of Chicago is now in charge of the agricultural department at Tuskegee. His wife comes from St. Louis, we know their stay will be pleasant. It became of much interest to know that the petition for county commissioner has been by Mr. Jonus Early, head waiter of the Congress Hotel. These are the days when waiters suffer much from the heat, most especially when standing over the hot range in the kitchen waiting to be served. Guests should be very considerate these days and not urge them on into an ill-tempered mood for persons, it kills, help them by being kind to them. The Hyde Park Baptist Missionary Society held a rousing meeting at the Hyde Park Baptist Church, 5629 Harper Ave. Mrs. Webb in charge of the program committee presented a program worthy of the occasion. Singing by Rev. Robertson. Solo Mrs. Robertson. General discussion of the topic by members and visitors upon the floor. Prayer by L. W. Washington, after which the wife of Rev. Robertson, sang a very touching solce, by the request of the Secretary, Miss Chotee T. Scott. "God will take care of you." Mrs. L. W. Washington presented a paper entitled "Charity" which was well received seemingly much appreciated. Mrs. Edward Rowe and baby of 5300 Kimbark Ave, will leave for her home in N.

AMANDA SMITH HOME. 15th Anniversary at North Harve NEGRO FELLOWSHIP LEAGUE The Negro Fellowship League was addressed on Sunday, June 21st by Mr. Charles T. Hallinan, head of the press bureau of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. A large audience was present to hear the splendid report of the work done at the National Convention of that body, in Baltimore. A rising vote of thanks was tendered the speaker for his most interesting address. Dr. Charles Bentley, Mr. F. L. Barnett, Mr. George Jackson and others made short addresses on the report. On Sunday June 28th, the League is expecting Prof. William Pickens of Talledega Institute, Florida, who is in the city attending the International Sunday School Convention. The public is cordially invited to these meetings which are held every Sunday at 4 P.M. m. sharp at 3005 State St. ALPHA SUFPRAGE CLUB In spite of the warm weather, the Alpha Suffrage Club continues to have good attendance at its meetings every Wednesday evening at 3005 State St.; at 8 o'clock. On last Wednesday evening the club was addressed by Miss Marion Drake who made such a splendid run for alderman in the first ward last Spring. Miss Drake spoke of many things of interest to women and their civic duties. She told them for whom they could vote in the Fall election. All interested in Suffrage are invited to attend these meetings. WEST SIDE NOTES The Masonic Lodge; held their ceremonies at the Fulton Street, M. E. Church, last Sunday, and was favored with a very large attendance. The base ball league of the Fulton M. E. Sunday School, which played last Saturday, at Washington Park, won by a very close score. St. Stephens base ball league, will play Grant Chapel, the fourth of July, at Morgan Park, and expect to have their suits by that time, so that there will be a good game worth seeing. The game starts at 3 o'clock, after which we will all join in a good time, especially for the winning team. "Who is going to win!" come out and see and enjoy the day with us. Mrs. Worthing of Walnut street, celebrated her wedding anniversary, last Wednesday night, at her residence. Don't forget the $1,000 Rally to be held at St. Stephens Church in July. All the Sunday Schools of the West Side are progressing rapidly, come and visit them. The death of Mr. Herman Miller's son, Louis Miller, was quite a 'shock to all. The social given by Miss Marjorie Lewis at 247 Campbell avenue, was a great success. F. A. Rawlins, 4817 State street, is almost at himself again, after undergoing a long sage of serious illness. More than a thousand of friends, both White and Colored, rich and poor alike, called to see him during his sickness, many others called up on the phone. Many sent beautiful flowers to cheer him up and most delicious fruit each day.

AMANDA SMITH HOME. 15th Anniversary at North Harvey, Public Cordially invited to spend the day. The friends of the Amanda Smith Industrial School, will join in the celebration of the 15th Anniversary of the founding of this Institution, with appropriate exercises under the auspices of the Ideal Woman's Club, next Monday, June 29th. This splendid band of social workers have taken marked interest in the welfare of dependent Colored children, and every year has observed the Anniversary of the founding of this Home, and made a substantial contribution to the work. At its May meeting, the Club determined to hold its Anniversary session on the Home grounds, and the result was, that the entire Anniversary program was placed in charge of the Club, and earnest efforts are being made by the ladies to make the day one of unusual interest and helpfulness. Especial invitation was extended by the Ideal Woman's Club to all other women clubs of Chieago, to join them at the Anniversary, also to all the Pastors of Chicago Churches. A general acceptance is expected from both the clubs and the Pastors, so that a large attendance will no doubt reward the efforts of the ladies. The officers and members of the Home, will serve dinner from 1 to 2:30 P. M., and the formal exercises will be held at 3:00 P. M., consisting of a brief program by the children of the Home. Reports of the Home work and addresses of 10 minutes. Luncheon and refreshments will be served at 5:00 P. M. The Home can be reached by taking a Cottage Grove avenue car, number 5, to Grand Crossing, where trains may be taken at 9:40 and 11:00 A. M. and 12:20, 1:40, 3:30, 4:00, 4:50, 5:30 and 6 o'clock P. M., returning every hour. Round trip tickets to 147th street, and return for 27c. The Home is in a better condition now than it has been during its history; and all friends of Orphan and dependent Colored Children are invited to attend the Anniversary and see what is being done for our own dependent girls, by the only Colored Institution in the State, authorized to receive children from the Juvenile Court, for industrial training. CHURCH NOTICE St., Rev. John H. Jackson, Minister. Sunday school at 2 P. M. Sundays. Rev. Brefford, Supt., Sermon at 3 P. M. June 21st. The S. S. was addressed by Mr. J. L. Miller; Sermon by Rev. L. D. Burbridge, Evangelist. He took for his Text Matt. 2:16 "Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, he was exceeding worth, and sent forth and slew all children that were in Bethlehem." Rev. Burbridge, said: No wonder Jesus said, suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not," because children were the first ones to shed blood for Him. This Mission is opened for children especially. He also brought another fact that the great city Nenevah was mostly saved on account of the (60,000) sixty thousand children in its midst who could not discern their right hand from their left. All are welcome to our services, lasting one hour. Sunday, June 28th, 2:30 P. M. Rev, Jackson will deliver an address: "The Cause of Crime and its remedy."

Boston has discovered that it is carrying too large a municipal debt. Well, what city isn't? The fellow who marries a girl with an independent fortune also gets an independent wife. War does not develop heroes. It only calls attention to some who hitherto had been unnoted. The dance craze has not gone so far as to substitute tangoling for plain old fashioned base running. The time has come when everybody's vocabulary must include a few mispronounced Mexican words. A lion has just eaten a missionary in the Sudan. So it does happen outside of the comic papers! One of the oversights of history is its neglect of what John Lind said when the muszule of office was removed. "Ru Ro" is the newest world language. But the only successful worldwide linguist so far has been cash. The trouble about that thing we call conscience is that it persists in speaking when we want it to keep silent. By way of celebrating her seventieth birthday Sarah Bernhardt may try out another farewell tour in this country. Women are not employed by the government as secret service workers. The government is a crabbed old thing Vesuvius and Etna are in eruption again. Even a volcano must be going full blast to attract attention these days. Warm beeswax is advised by Paris doctors for rheumatism. This is a big improvement on the first idea of hot stings. A Pittsburgh man was sent to jail for ninety days for stealing an umbrella. At this rate we know men who'd have to serve for life. A real French duel has just been fought for the benefit—jointly—of honor and a motion picture company. Thus do art and commerce wed. Every little while one meets a man who doesn't care whether the baseball season is with us or not. It takes all kinds of people to make a world. A suffragette smashed a fifty dollar saucer in the British museum the other day. The London suffs must be gaining recruits from the kitchens. Porfirio Diaz, former president of Mexico, is at Monte Carlo, where the dangers to which one is exposed are not the same kind as those in Mexico. An Italian count committed suicide in New York the other day. Starving to death in a land of plenty is nothing to killing oneself when entirely surrounded by belresses. Harvard students no longer use the phrase "I beg your pardon." Instead, they say "I'm very sorry," which seems to indicate more sincerity than the request for a pardon. No fewer than 28,674 teachers of England have declared for woman suffrage, but the figures are less impressive when we read that 45,123 of the same profession have declared against it. Miss Peate, a young lady farmer from England, says that American girls would be better off if they got up a 4 a.m. They do, the most conservative of them, and have just one more dance before going home. A Russian lawyer has invented a gyroscope motorcar that can turn a corner at full speed without upsetting. Such a device should be forbidden by international action. Motors can turn corners now at a sufficiently deadly speed.

This would be a tiresome old world without its crimes. To overshoot the mark is just as bad as to miss it any other way. No man succeeds unless he takes chances; neither does he fall. Happiness—a good bank account, a good cook and good digestion. Health is the greatest gift a municipality can bestow upon its people. Sometimes a man is luckier to miss what's coming to him than to get it. A man may be a light sleeper and still be able to sleep only in the dark. A court has no business to try to define a kiss. That is a job for the poets. A man who wishes to rise in the world should try rising early in the morning. "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all, but it isn't so cheap. At least in the "movies" we don't have to listen to the heroine trying to play the piano.
