Jackson, major general of the Pythians, member of the Illinois Legislature, a Major in the National Guard of that State, and member of the commission on the celebration of a half-century of Negro freedom, delivered the other speech of the day. Major Jackson declared that the Pythian order is a "West Point for Negroes," and said that recently he had offered to the Adjutant General of the United States Army 10,000 Negro troops of the lodge, with 1,000 officers, and that he had received assurance that the offer would be accepted if they were ever needed. The dedication followed a parade of the Pythians of the State, reviewed by Mai. Jackson. 1 Grand Major General of the Uniform but the world and one of the commis- of freedom celebration. HEW TO THE LINE: LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY CHICAGO. OCTOBER 2. 1915 MAJOR GENERAL OF THE UNI- FORM RANK OF KNIGHTS OF PYTHIANS OF EUROPE, AFRICA, ASIA AND AMERICA AND AUSTRALIA—MEMBER OF THE 49TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY, AND ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS SELECTED BY HIS EXCELLENCY GOV. EDWARD F. DUNNE. He is connected with the various fraternal lodges of the city; served in the capacity of the Armour Station Postal Service; made an enviable record; resigned to take charge of the Fraternal Printing establishment of which he is proprietor, and sole owner. A strong civic character and active worker in race development. A property owner; a successful business man and a popular politician. The success of the Lincoln Jubilee celebration was very largely due to his efforts. The business system incorporated into that institution was put in vogue by him. He is one of the four men who is largely responsible for the credit of our fifty years of freedom; his close attention of the economical side of the exposition save the good name of his colleagues as well as himself. Being a man of family he devoted to the best interest of his community and believes in a progressive city. Locally he is bright, but nationally he is a great character. He is the representative head of the largest body of uniform men in these United States of America. He is major of a battalion in the 8th Infantry Illinois Guards; a soldier of good habits. He is a member of the Spanish American war veterans, because he was with the boys in Cuba, relieving the 1st Illinois during their suffering on that island. He is progressive, broad-minded, aggressive, and benevolent. Those who know him, believe in him; and have found him safe in counsel. He is a good orator, a splendid reasoner, and a fair debator. I know of none as popular with his people as he. The record of Major Jackson in 1914 was a most enviable one, one which can not be gainsaid, or criticised, being recognized speaker William McKinley and appointed a member of eight of the most important committees of the House, viz: Chic. Charter, Fraternal and Mutual Insurance, Federal Relations, Military Affairs, Miscellaneous Subjects, Printing, Senatorial Appointment and Municipal Courts of Chicago, by taking hold of the Jim Crow Bill, WILLIAM H. BROWN HAS PASSED ON INTO THE NEXT WORLD. William H. Brown for the past 26 years Sergeant at Arms in the City Council of the City of Chicago passed away from this life on Wednesday September 30, 1915, at 11 A. M. Mr. Brown was 56 years of age, and was one of the most popular and known man in the City. He was known by every Railroad Official in the City, and was liked and respected by all. The City Council met Thursday, September 30, at 9:30 A. M., to take action on his death and to adopt resolutions and make other arrangements for the funeral. Mr. Brown resided at 2132 W.

His contentions at all times, was for the rights of his people, constant in season and out of it. He also killed the full crew bill in the house and put to route the strongest lobby for the passage of a bill that ever appeared on the floor of the Legislature. He passed the bill (without a dissenting vote) to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro which was successfully held at the Coliseum for 26 days. He also passed an amendment to the civil rights act, preventing discrimination in the burial of the dead in cemeteries. He stopped the progress of the new marriage laws because they contained the word "Colored" and compelled Colored people to state their color before being granted a marriage license. His clear cut appearance at all times, affability, display of shrewdness and ability, coupled with diplomacy and bull-dog grit won for him the admiration and respect of the entire membership of the House. His constituents showed their appreciation of his uniting efforts in their behalf by sending him back with votes to spare. He has a splendid companion, Mrs. Annie Jackson, a woman of refinement and culture, a devoted wife, and painstaking mother of her children of which George Earle Jackson is following in the foot steps of his father, Miss Naomi is a mother's girl. She is in a large measure, the making of this wonderful man. He has mastered the art of organization. He has taught the Colored man the art of preparedness by fraternal military organization, the greatest in the world. His speech in the 49th General Assembly against the Birth of the Nation, will go down in history and be cherished by children yet unborn. His business tact and mathematical skill, saved the day for the exposition, and place the commissioner upon the Roll of Honor of expositions. He is proprietor of the Fraternal Press, and a hail fellow well met, the least can approach him, and the great love him. He is a worthy citizen, and a true friend. He deserves more than we can give him. He is a worthy leader, a trusty counselor, a commander of men, a friend to children. A MAN.

American Red Cross plans to beat Rec- ord Sale of $550,000 in 1914. Two hundred million Red Cross Christmas Seals are now being printed and distributed by the American Red Cross and The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuber. culosis, aceording to a statement issued by the latter organization today. The proceeds from the sale of these seals will go for the fight against tubereu- losis in the communities where the seals are sold. ‘The organization of the Red Cross Seal sale this year will take in every state and territory of the United States including Hawaii, Porto Rico, and the Canal Zone. By December Ist, over 500,000 workers, men, women and chil- dren, will be engaged in the campaign. The sale in 1914 broke all previous records, totaling over 55,000,000 seals, an increase of 22 per cent. over 1913. After dedueting all expenses, this left nearly $500,000 for tuberculosis work in this country. The money has been and is being expended by over 2,000 different agencies who benefited from the sale in amounts ranging from $100 or less to over $25,000. The American Red Cross announces that it will con- tinue its previous successful policy of charging only 10 per cent. of the gross proceeds to state anti-tubereulosis asso- ciations, thereby encouraging local work.

NEW LAND IN. ~ ARCTIC. REGIONS Stefansson, Though to Be Lost, Announces Discovery. HE resourcefulness of Vilbjal- mur Stefarisson. the American explorer. who headed the Cana- dian government expedition to the arctic, bas filled the world with wonder. Considered a lost man and given up by most of those interested in the expedition, he recently was able ta announce to the world the discovery of new land in the Beaufort sea. His means of communication was a little power schooner, the Ruby. which, after trying for two years to get through the ice to Herschel island, finally accom- plished its object, which was to land supplies for the Hudson Bay company. Stefansson and his two companions had made their way southward to Her- schel islaud after discovering new land in the north. This may be a section of the arctic continent which many scientists believe to exist. To establish this theory is one of the main objects of the Canadian expedition. It will be recalled that Stefansson's main ship, the Kariuk, was crushed by the ice after Stefansson and some of his party had left the ship and that the survivors of the ship's party were finally rescued from Wrangell island. Eight of the ship's party disappeared while on the way to Wrangell island and in all probability perished. Three of the party died on Wrangell island before the rescue was accomplished. « Stefansson and two companions left Herschel island with a dog team, pro- visions and ammunition on March 22, 1914. From that time up to the other day no news was received from him, and he and his companions were be- Meved to have been lost.

Stefansson related to Captain S. F. Cottle, the skipper of the Ruby, his adventures for the year and a half in which he had been lost to the civilized world. Captain Cottle said that Stefansson told him that when he and his two companions left Martin point, on Her- sehel island, on March 22, 1914, they traveled northward over the ice three months. When their provisions began to run low they decided to return to the mainland at a place near which the Mary E. Sachs, a power boat and one of the vessels of the expedition re- Ported as lost in November, 1913, was wintering. There they took on a fresh supply of provisions and started again, this time going north and west. “It was then that they discovered new land. He described it as a con- tinental shelf several degrees west of Banks Land.” Captain Cottle said. Stefansson and his companions fol- Jowed this land southward and deter- mined its southern limits. “He told me that he was upable to explore the country northward or west- ward at that time and was forced to turn back for more provisions,” said Captain Cottle. Stefansson and his two companions during this trip managed to stay on the ice for seven months before they had to turn back. With less than half rations for his men and with his dogs almost starving, the explorer made his way back to Banks Land, which is without human habitation, and to Bailey island, where whaling vessels frequently call. At Bailey island he found Captain Louis Lane in his power schooner, the Polar Bear. “Stefansson was anxious to get in touch with the southern end of his ex- pedition and to supply himself with the necessary food and equipment to en- able him to continue his exploration work in the region where he had found new land,” Cottle said. “He charter- ed the Polar Bear and started north- ward in the hope of succeeding in this undertaking, but owing to the lateness of the season he was obliged to turn oe and again head for Herschel ts- a. “Stefansson was making all his prep- arations to,continue bis exploration work where he had stopped it,” Cap- tain Cottle continued. “He had bought the Polar Bear from Captain Lane and a small power boat. the Gladiator, which was in the coastwise trade, and was fully equipping them to make the trip back to Banks Land.” —— CSCC CC CSCS d | DE.

The date will be announced in every newspaper in the land. If the writer is not mistaken, the time set for every person to call on a physician for the purpose of finding out by means of an examination whether health or disease is present will be in the month of December We agree with the promoters of the idea that we should all find out by means of an examination by a duly qualified physician just how the case of state of health stands. We do not agree as to the question of when the examination should be made, in other words, we differ on the question of time. We believe that time is the most important factor in the matter, if any factor can be said to be the most important. Omnipotence has not endowed us with the knowledge that we shall be able to complain as late as December, 1915. In fact, the worms may be feasting upon our remains in a few hours. The real truth of the matter is that many of us are being eaten by pus producing microorganisms as we walk about in a state that can accurately be called a living death. Pus pockets of decaying flesh can be found without much effort in the bodies of so many people who boast of being well that we have grown silent in our ST. MARK M. E. CHURCH.

[Name] awful regard for the predominance of the ignorance that overwhelms those whom we love and cannot convince. The time to be examined is like the time to prepare for the final examination at the judgment seat of Jehovah. It is like the time to visit the sick or the time to cease to do evil or the time to learn to do well. It is now, today. Each of us and every one of us instinctively gives himself many examinations each day. We all try to obey the old injunction of the Greeks "Know thyself" but our own examination is liable to be prejudiced. Therefore our own examination of ourselves cannot suffice. The poet Burns saw a louse on the hat of a fashionably dressed woman in church and wrote the following lines: "Oh would some power the giftie gie us, To see ourselves as ithers see us." To see ourselves as iters see us." There are those who are trained to look for the corruption that destroys the body. They should be sought because of their fitness. Keep your efficiency up to standard by regular periodical examinations by your family doctor. Many diseases are insidious and can only be detected by a very careful and thorough examination. If treated early and vigorously such diseases need not have a fatal termination; they may be absolutely cured by being nipped in the bud. THE ALPHA SUFFRAGE CLUB.

In spite of his luxuriant whiskers Carranza is constantly displaying his immense cheek. Have you ever noticed how much larger your troubles appear at night than during the day? Contentment is a fine thing when accompanied by enough ambition to keep the blood in circulation. Some of the feats required of diplomacy are as startling as those of the air men who loop the loop. Every once in awhile some one mentions The Hague tribunal. It is well to remember that it still exists. Astronomer Mellish, who has discovered his fourth comet, deserves much praise, though we could have worried along with the comets we had. Pen and Brush. Arthur Brisbane, the well known editorial writer for the Hearst publications, is a very fast writer. He once wrote thirty-two editorials in one day. Mr. Henry James, the famous novelist, who has renounced his American nationality and become a British subject, has lived and worked in England for about forty years. Mr. John Richard Lowndes French, elder son of Sir John French, has exhibited in the Royal academy, and five of his pictures have been shown at exhibitions of the North British academy. President Louis W. Hill of the Great Northern railway system and son of James J. Hill, is an artist as well as a successful railroad president. He takes great pleasure in painting in oil and has painted some really excellent canvases. Church and School. The Church of Scotland has 1,800 ministers. New York state Presbyterian preachers receive an average annual salary of $1,526. There were 216,493 students in colleges, universities and technological schools in 1914, according to the annual report of the commissioner of education, just issued. This is an increase of 14,262 over 1913. The school savings bank of public school No. 77 of the borough of Queens, New York city, has had $4,300 deposited in it in the three years of its existence. More than half of this amount is still on deposit either with the school bank or with a state savings bank. The Cookbook. Sausages will not burst if rolled in flour before frying. All clean bread scraps should be saved. They are useful for crumbs and may be used in puddings, forcemeats, hot cakes and escaloped dishes. A nice way to serve onions is to make a ring of mashed potatoes, put the plain boiled onions in the center and pour over some melted butter and put into the oven to get piping hot. When reheating meat place some gravy in a deep frying pan, season it and make quite hot, put in the meat and simmer gently, but do not allow to boil, as boiling makes the meat tough. Train and Track. Electro-pneumatic brakes are soon to displace the air brakes on the passenger trains of the Pennsylvania railroad. More than 35 per cent of the mileage of German railroads is laid upon iron ties, one state which is rich in forests using them almost exclusively. The British system of railways in Nigeria, West Africa, has been remarkably rapid in growth. It now extends nearly 800 miles into the interior. The Japanese government has adopted a plan of railway building that will require ten years to complete and add more than 1,200 miles to existing lines. Town Topics. Chicago knows that it is the best city in the country for the holding of conventions, but it likes to have this view shared by others. Chicago News. There is a law in Philadelphia against throwing any kind of waste into the streets, but nobody pays any attention to it, not even the police. Philadelphia Press. New York is not satisfied with a census which gives only a little over 5,000.000 inhabitants. But the state line that separates it from Hoboken, Jersey City, Bayonne and Newark cannot be Portland Cement. In the manufacture of portland cement, clay or shale and limestone are ground together and "burned" in rotary kilns. The cement comes from kilns in the form of hard, black, semilitreous lumps, or "clinker." When pulverized this clinker becomes a grayish powder, which is the familiar article of commerce employed for a great variety of purposes in practically every type of building-construction. It has long been known that the fineness to which the cement is ground is one of its most important characteristics, and consequently specifications require that 75 per cent or more of commercial cement shall pass through a No. 200 sieve, which has 40,000 openings per square inch. This is the practical limit of mechanical sieves in respect to fineness, for although finer sieves can be manufactured the necessary uniformity in size of openings cannot be attained. It is well known, however, that the minute particles of cement, which are just capable of passing through the openings of a No. 200 sieve, are still too large to be of value as cementing material when mixed with water. Hence the really valuable portion of the cement consists in the extremely fine powder, the amount of which can only be inferred from the sieve test. Sacred Mushrooms. The "sacred mushroom" of the Aztecs, which was called by them teonanlacati and used as an intoxicant, was, according to investigations recently reported, not a mushroom, but the narcotic cactus. Lophophora williamsii, now well known for its use by the American Indians in religious ceremonies. It is popularly called "mescal button," though a better name is peyote. Early writers on Mexico described it as a mushroom, and this notion as to its botanical status still survives. The mistake is due to the fact that in one of the two principal forms in which it is prepared the head of the plant is cut off transversely, and when dried it bears a close resemblance to a mushroom. In its other form it is cut longitudinally or in irregular fragments and was described by early writers as raiz diabolica, or "devil's root." Analyzing a Master- De Quinnecy, who wrote the "Confessions of an English Opium Eater" and other works now considered classics, was a strange, ill balanced person. Vernon Lee says of him that he had an incapacity for holding his tongue on irrelevant matters, which is a sign of intellectual weakness. He had also a marked incapacity for keeping his irrelevant emotions (especially the vtutuperative ones) to himself, which is a mark of moral vulgarity. He had a manifest tendency to talk big and at the same time to mix slang with grandiloquence in situations where no humorous effect could be obtained by this proceeding. Yet withal these traits are redeemed by his great subtlety of thought, his tragic depth of feeling and occasionally his marvelous power of seeing and saying.—New York Telegram. Breslau's Checkered Career. Breslau's Checkered Career. This history of the possession of Breslau shows that it has changed hands very often. Early in the eleventh century it was made the seat of a bishop and after having formed part of Poland became the capital of an independent duchy in 1163. In 1335 it was purchased by John, king of Bohemia, who retained it until 1460. It then changed hands and became subject to Bohemia once more in 1490, passing with the rest of Silesia to the Hapsburg in 1526. It came under the authority of Frederick the Great in 1741 and was recovered by Austria in 1757 and regained by Frederick in the Seven Years' war. It has since been Prussian, except a few days in 1807 and again in 1813, when it was held temporarily by the French. Our Army Rations. The average daily field ration of the United States army is made up as follows: Bacon, 12 ounces (or fresh meat, 20 ounces); bread, 18 ounces; beans, 2.4 ounces; potatoes, 20 ounces; prunes or preserves, 1.28 ounces; coffee, 1.12 ounces; sugar, 3.2 ounces; evaporated milk, 5 ounces; vinegar, 16 of a gill; salt, .64 ounce; pepper (black), .04 of an ounce; lard, .61 of an ounce; butter, .5 of an ounce.

The highly respected and influential pastor of St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 38th Street and Wabash Avenue. The Rev. Father J. B. Massiah came to Chicago in 1906, from Detroit, Mich., where he held a pastorate for thirteen years, and had established a complete parish equipment and left it free of debt. He found about 300 communicants at old St. Thomas' Church on Dearborn and Thirtieth streets. He now has over 900 members. One year after he took charge of this work, he purchased the handsome church on Wabash Ave. and Thirty-eighth streets, one of the best locations in the city. This congregation is a credit to our race, and it is largely due to the excellent example of its pastor, who attends strictly to the work of the Gospel, and in acts of charity. He resides close to the church in his well appointed residence, and always welcomes strangers at his door as though he realized fully the object of his calling. DEATH OF MRS. ARTHUR GORHAM Early Monday morning, Mrs. Arthur V. Gorham, 6515 Langley Avenue, who was a sister of Mrs. David McGowan, quietly closed her eyes in death. Heart failure was the immediate cause of her passing away. She leaves a bereaved husband and young son seven years old and other relatives to mourn her sudden demise. Mr. and Mrs. Gorham resided in Hyde Park for some years in a fine two story flat building which they own at the above mentioned number. She was a member of the Lincoln Memorial Church, 65th and Champlain Avenue. On Wednesday, funeral services were held over her remains at that church. Rev. Lawrence, its pastor, assisted by Rev. Harris officiated. The floral offerings were numerous and very beautiful. The following were the palbearers: John T. Parish, W. F. Childs, Howard Cornwell and A. W. Mitchell. Interment at Waldheim Cemetery. SEARCHING FOR HEIRS OF RICH NEGRO WOMAN. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 1.—J. O. Farris, 7 N.

Mrs. Simpson was familiarly known as "Aunt Liza Simpson," and was a chambermaid on a Mississippi river steamboat in the later part of the seventies and early eighties, under the late Captain Peter Layman. She had three sisters and two brothers, and it is supposed that there must survive some nieces or nephews. She left an estate which is said to be worth $80,000. She was never married and died without making a will. A reward has been offered for information as to the location of any of her relatives.

Graduate from many prominent educational institutions; a member of the moving picture censor board of Chicago. The new proprietor of the Fountain Theatre and a first class business man. We are pleased to note the splendid literary achievements and the activity of a wonderful character, demonstrated by the realization of a successful phenominal career; one which may be envied by the foremost thinkers of our times, and the giant instruction. But few men are his equals intellectually, and none surpass him as a teacher. He represents the finest in culture. He is a power for good, because the race needs such a man. Permit me to use at this juncture, a quotation published in the Advocate, Boston, Mass., May 22, 1909; expressed by the acting dean of the graduate school of arts and science of Harvard University in recommending Mr. Bowling said, "So well pleased am I with his training, I would be pleased to have more specimens of the race at Harvard if they had the qualities this man possesses. He is intelligent, straightforward, earnest and clear in his statements. I have no doubt he is a man who will in the future do good work in the cause of educating his race." He was the orator of the day at the Emancipation celebration held at Ebenezer Church, W. Springfield St., Boston, Jan. 3, 1910, given under the auspices of the Ebenezer Literary Society. His subject, "The meaning of the Emancipation Proclamation which was said of him, he was a finished orator. He has few equals. It is to be noted that just previous to this he had won a scholarship at Harvard which is no mean honor. Pres. Joseph H. Hill of the State Normal Schools said of him Feb. 24, 1909, "His record as a student in our school was excellent. He is one of the strongest men of his race, if not the strongest, that has ever been enrolled in our student body. He graduated sometime ago from the Kansas State Normal School." The Rev. Jenkins Lloyd Jones of Abraham Lincoln Center is one of his friends and warm admirers. Hon. Cong. Martin B. Madden gives us his biography by saying, "Mr. Bowling's elementary training was received at Lincoln, Ill., and his high school work was completed at Kansas City and Topeka, Kans. He was the first Negro to finish four life State diploma course of the Kansas State Normal College. His A. B. was obtained at the University of Michigan, 1906; in 1907 he did graduate work in Philosophy and educated at Northwestern University. He received his A. M. degree at Ohio State University in 1908, and at Harvard in 1912; he also studied one year in Philosophy and Theology under Borden P. Bowne of Boston University. While he was a scholarship man and a protege of the late Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson of Cambridge, Mass., and the late William T. Harris, ex-compassioner of education of the United States. He has been a scholarship man at the University of Chicago for the last year and a half which scholarship was obtained through the influence of Commissioner Snedder of Mass. Mr. Bowling is a contributing member of the American association for the advancement of science. The National Geographic Society of London. He lectured on education in Massachusetts, Michigan and Rhode Island. He published a volume, "A study of Negro Education." "Riverside Press, Cambridge, Mass., 1912 and six bulletins of Negro education while doing graduate work at Ohio State University, Harvard University and the University of Chicago. He is a candidate for his Ph. D. at the University of Chicago, having for his Nosis the history of Negro Education in the United States. Rev. Jenkins Lloyd Jones of Lincoln Center is one of his closest friends. He is superintendent of the Institutional Sunday School and was the only colored applicant who passed the civil service examination out of 326 candidates, ranking 20 on the list. He is now the only colored representative on the censors Board in this country. He conducted the evening and day school at the Y. M. C. A., 3763 Wabash Ave., whose coriculum contained the following courses:Elementary, preparatory and college courses. Business Men's Course. Special training to those who have a desire to make up school work courses in modern languages, special courses in English and oratory and Civil Service and courses in music. He is one of the most competent educators in America, but few races have produced his equal. He is one of our foremost scholars. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, OCTOBER 2, 1915 Charles E. Stump, the Kansas Farmer and Would-Be-Newspaper Correspondent, Visited Chicago and Beheld Many Things or Sights Which Caused Him to Open His Large Country Eyes Real Wide Kansas City, Kans.—For a long time I have been hearing about reporters and have been seeing them and I have had a desire to get my name in the paper or get something in it that I have written. I have been discouraged by editors who have told me that they did not think that I was born to write for papers, and I just accepted what they said about it and went on. I have thought that I would never get to see anything in print that I had written. I have been a follower of the National Baptist convention for years, and have had no reason to change. I went to the session in Chicago, and made sure that I was going to make good there and have me one more good time. I met people after people. While there was a big time there in trying to keep things going, yet there was a desire on my part to keep up with the convention and see what was going on there. My heart was filled with joy, and I could hardly believe myself when I was invited by Editor Taylor to write for his paper. To me it seemed like a dream, but I am going to try my hand. If I do not come up to your idea of newspaper writing remember that I am green, and I am just getting off of a farm down here in Kansas. You will remember when the people were all leaving Kentucky and coming to Kansas, perhaps I was in that number, hence the farmer is not up to the city life. It seemed to me that I was going to look my eyes out in Chicago. I never saw so many well dressed young men in all the days of my life. I took a stroll down the streets of Chicago especially a long street. I think it was called State street and I saw so many people there on that street. I went to the churches, the Y. M. C. A. I did not think that I would live to see my people owning such a big fine building as that, but I have and I just felt like shouting on the street. I was there several days before the meeting and stopped on Aberdeen street. I had a good stopping place and the people out there took good care of my head, hence I did not have any head disease. I had the pleasure of meeting the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist church, Rev. J. F. Thomas, D. D., and was delighted to meet him. He is a fine man. I also met Rev. E. P. Martin, pastor of Bethesda Baptist church; Dr. Prince, of some other church. Rev. Harris told me that his church was on the North Side and there was another Harris who told me that he had a church in Englewood. Wednesday morning was the time set for the convention to meet. I was FOUNTAIN THEATRE. Mr. W. B. Clark, Prop., Making Good East of State St., 344 E. 35th Street. The beautiful moving picture house on 35th St. near Grand Blvd. under the new management of one of the most accommodating theatrical Colored men in the moving picture show business, is the place you should patronize. The photo above is the very likeness of the young man whom merit and ability has fortunately qualified to make good. Hence he has been given the right of way and should succeed. He cannot fail if we support him; he shall not fail for the want of our support. His productions are of the latest and best movies. Remember, if we help this young man to succeed, we help ourselves. If he succeeds, you will open up the way for some other young Colored man and colored woman; it may be your boy or your girl. Remember that every five cent piece you spend with him, you are making strong your own hands; you are accomplishing four things beneficial to the race and very encouraging to our White friends who are willing to place their business in the hands of our sons and daughters when we prove to them by our presence; that we appreciate their told that there was going to be an "Old Aunt Dolly Time," there, and I thought that I would just go to see it since I was acquainted with Aunt Dolly. I knew her when I was knee high to a grasshopper. This was in keeping with the spirit, for there seemed to be the right kind of spirit in the opening of that big convention. But after all that song and prayer and big religious talks, for a few minutes I could not tell where I was, and it was several days before I really did find out what was going on. I heard long before the meeting that there was going to be a split in the convention, and it was there too, believe me. They were ripe for it and all plans were made. They waged the fight on charter, but after the charter was not adopted, then they went on at any rate. "Mississippi" Jones, of Odd Fellow fame was at the head of the split crowd. As he led out the National Baptist convention crowd, he would lead out the Odd Fellows if he had any show, and thought that they would not expell him from the order He started a grand lodge of his own, and of course, he had a right to kill it and did kill it. It was his own child, and the "Reformers" have passed out of life, and Dr. Jones—well he is past Supreme Master of it. But he is not past Supreme Grand Master of Odd Fellows, and I doubt whether he will ever be in this world. I went over to see that great big lake. I could not see across it, but I suppose there is another side to it. I have seen only one side of the big lake, and saw some big boats on it. Some of them were as large as store buildings I have seen. I was delighted with all this. Then I went way up stairs to ride on street cars, and then some on the ground. It was wonderful to see how them people crowded in the cars and tried to go home. I went in there with them. You have been told all about the Exposition there in Chicago. It was just fine. I had the pleasure of meeting Major R. R. Jackson, a member of the Legislature, Hon. S. B. Turner, also a member; Lawyer F. L. Barnett; Lawyer B. F. Moseley; Lawyer W. G. Anderson, W. L. Martin, Lawyer H. M. Porter. Speaking of Porter, I have been hearing of Hon. James Hale Porter, but I have had the pleasure of shaking his hands, also Dr. A. J. Carey. I will have to tell you all I know about these things when I write to you. I must not say too much because I want to get my letter in. I expect to travel a little, and will tell you about how I left Chicago and what I saw in my next letter. CHARLES E. STUMP. efforts by making their business a success. 1st.

He is connected with the Postoffice as an efficient clerk; a member of the Y. M. C. A., and St. Mark M. B. Church. Rev. J. C. Anderson, D. D., who has been returned for the third year as pastor of Quinn Chapel, 24th St. and Wabash Ave., was born in Fluvanna Co., Va., March 1st, 1862, being the only child born to his mother, Eliza Ann Anderson. He was left a total orphan when but five years of age, and many and varied were the trials and hardships of his boyhood and youth. Circumstances developed which deprived him of all responsible care by parents, or other relatives or friends. But good Christian people prayed for and gave him wholesome advice as to the proper way to live, and he was heedful of their counsel. No one ever sent him to school, but very early in life he felt an insatiable thirst for knowledge; and the first money he earned as a boy was used to pay for board and books to take him through school. By diligence and indomitable persistence he studied night and day to grasp the great facts and principles of life. He is a graduate of Taylor University and of the McCormick Theo. College. He wended his way as far west as the state of Iowa in 1881 in pursuit of work and of knowledge. March lst, 1883, he made the struggle against sin and spiritual darkness and was made sensible of salvation by the Lord Christ. He worked unremitting for several years as a lay official in the church, but being called to the ministry after a short tutelage in the local church, he entered the active itinerancy Dec., 1888. During these years he has gone from the smallest mission in little country towns to the ranking stations in metropolitan cities, and has received urgent calls to leading pulpits of the church from every section of the country, but his sense of duty has impelled him to stay till a definite work had been done in every charge he occupied. While he has spent but one administration at a time in any city, he has been called back often to the same city. Twice he served in St. Paul, Minn., three times he has been assigned to Chicago, respectively at St. John's, Wavay Chapel, and Nearly $100,000.00 worth of property has been acquired by him for the church. Properties at Boone, Iowa, at St. Paul and at Hastings, Minn., and at Louisville, Ky., stand as monuments of his achievement. The church at Louisville alone cost originally $75,000. By long and trying negotiations he got it for $17,000, paying $4,000 cash, and the last great effort for the church before he left Louisville was to raise $2,300.00 on the church debt. He came to Quinn Chapel, Chicago, two years ago and, despite the trying financial condition of that charge has greatly reduced the enormous debt of that charge; but with great personal sacrifice. When asked why this his home conference did not elect him delegate to the Centennial General Conference of the A. M. E. Church, he said he regarded it as "an unmerited humiliation in which he became victim of several unfortunate influences, among which was an ambition which to say the least, was not guided by the Golden Rule." As he looks back over a career of unstained service in the church he takes pleasure not only in his splendid financial success in the church but in the hundreds upon hundreds of souls converted. His ambition is to free Quinn Chapel from debt during his administration. In conclusion we honestly and earnestly bespeak for Rev. Anderson the hearty co-operation and help of the people residing in all parts of this city. Mrs. Anderson, who has been a great help mate to her honorable and straightforward husband, was one of the most popular young ladies of Rockford, Ill. They are the parents of one son, who is 20 years of age and they live in a beautiful home at 3362 Calumet avenue. Rev. Anderson is an honor to his high calling and Mrs. Anderson is an honor to the Afro-American womanhood of this country. M. MR. A. L. WILLIAMS.

Paris—William Sprague, 84, famous war governor of Rhode Island and Twice United States Senator from that State, died at his residence here early this morning. Death was due to meningitis, coupled with the infirmities of age. Born in Cranston, R. I., in 1830, he early inherited a large fortune. The Sprague family had been prominent in the political, industrial and social life of the State since the Revolution. Young Sprague anticipated the Civil War. For two years prior to its outbreak he maintained two full batteries of artillery at his own expense. When the war came Rhode Island and Sprague were ready to rush to the front. The youthful Governor, at the head of 3,000 well-drilled troops, was one of the first to reach Washington. He marched with his volunteers to the battle of Bull Run and later to the Peninsula. J. M.

Sprague was present at the famous conference of 12 Northern Governors at Altoona, Penn., in 1862. "We had to take a lot of abuse in return for our indorsement of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation." said Gov. Sprague a few years ago. "We were hissed in the streets, and were denounced as traitors." At 33 years of age he entered the United States Senate and served in the administration of Lincoln, Johnson and Grant.

William Sulzer Delivered the Following Address at the Banquet of the American Party, To Its Candidates at The Broadway Central Hotel, New York, Last Monday Evening SPECIAL TO THE BROAD AX. "In view of the vote polled by the American Party, in the last State Campaign, no apology is necessary for its activities in this campaign. "The politicians know the American Party is here to fight the battle of the taxpayers, for honest government; to destroy corrupt bossism; and to abolish the iniquitos system of by-partisan graft, called Fifty-fifty, by which taxation is doubled, and the few wax fat and flourish at the expense of the many. "The American Party asserts that the so-called Democracy of New York can never succeed under its present deplorable leadership, which constitutes a political despotism worse than anything ever known in the political system of autocratic Russia. "As the so-called Progressive party wanes, and passes into the shadow, the American Party, which stands for good government; for decent citizenship; for a square deal; for the rights of the people; for the dignity of labor; for woman's suffrage; for the Social Welfare; for the ideals of patriotic America; and for the perpetuation of the free institutions of the Fathers, looms larger and larger on the political horizon, and is destined to play a more important part in the future than it has in the past. "The American Party is alive—very much alive. The so-called Progressive Party is dead—very dead—and as its ghost, in the person of Terrible Teddy, struts the political stage to disturb the Presidential dreams of Republican candidates, there appears to be none but Victor Murdock to mourn its loss, or shed a tear over. its hasty demise. All of which goes to prove a party cannot be kept alive to gratify the spite of a disappointed man. "On this festive occasion we can congratulate each other, and the people, that the American Party has designated a winning ticket in every Borough of Greater New York. When our candidates are nominated in the primaries to-morrow night, and the politicians get the perspective, they will realize the significance of this remark, and wonder at their stupidity and lack of political sagacity. "The American Party is anxious to prevent Tammany from getting control of the District Attorney's Office, and utilizing its machinery for black-mail, extortion and persecution. The honest voters of New York County know Tammany, and realize the danger. For many years they have refused to give Tammany this great office to utilize its weapons for personal spite and political aggrandizement. "The American Party has designated the Honorable Frank Moss, as its candidate for District Attorney, because he is peculiarly qualified for the office; because of his legal ability; because of his sterling integrity; because of his high character as a citizen; because the people know he is free and independent; because they know he will be a fearless prosecutor of the guilty as well as a conscientious defender of the innocent. If the Republican Bosses had an ounce of political common sense they would have made Mr. Moss the Republican candidate, so that there would be a fusion candidate for District Attorney against Tammany, and then the election of the fusion candidate would be assured beyond the per adventure of a political doubt. But it is not too late. The enrolled Republican voters can remedy this mistake. "The American Party has designated Frank K. Bowers for the important office of Sheriff, of New York County. Mr. Bowers has demonstrated, as under Sheriff, his capacity, his fitness, and his ability, to administer the affairs of this position to the satisfaction of the Bench and the Bar, and for the welfare of all the people generally. As between Mr. Bowers, our candidate for Sheriff, and Al Smith—Mr. Murphy's handy man for years at Albany the taxpayers of this County should have no hesitancy as to whom to support, especially in view of the fact that Mr. Bowers says that he will give the fees of his office, amounting to more than $60,000 a year, to the City to re- duce taxation, while the Tammany candidate, in accordance with custom, must give the fees to the man higher up. We challenge Mr. Smith to tell to the voters—what Mr. Bowers tells them—that if he, Smith, is elected that he will turn over the fees of the Sheriff's Office to the City Treasurer instead of to Tammany. "The American Party, in view of what the Bar Association says against the Tammany candidate for Justice of the City Court, has designated for that office, Phillip C. Samuels, Esq., a well known lawyer, and a popular citizen, because he has made a splendid reputation at the Bar; because he stands high in his profession, and has won the confidence of the people by his capacity, and his integrity; because he is honest, capable and has a fine sense of justice. Between Mr. Samuels, our candidate for Judge of the City Court, and the Tammany nonentity, no friend of Justice, no lawyer in the City, and no taxpayer with common sense enough to distinguish the difference between a hawk and a hand-saw should hesitate as to how he should vote in this connection, on Election Day. "The American Party has designated the Honorable William S. Bennet, for Representative in Congress, in the 23rd Congressional District. He is the fusion candidate. His election is assured. As a matter of fact, between former Congressman Bennet, and the boy relative of the Tammany Boss, there should be no question as to what the voters of the 23rd Congressional District should do on Election Day. They should be for William S. Bennet, for Congress, because of his peculiar qualifications for the office; because of his work for the people; because of his eloquence and experience; because of the splendid record he made during the many years he served in Congress; because there never was a time when the City of New York needed Representatives in Congress, of knowledge, of ability, of character, and of experience, so much as the City does at the present time. But Bennet will win. "The American Party has designated a splendid ticket in Richmond County, lead by the present honest, able, and capable Borough President, Mr. Van Name, and our ticket in that county is destined to win. "The American Party has designated a winning ticket in Queens County, headed by Mr. Justice Humphreys, one of the best Judges now on our Bench, and Martin Mager, for County Clerk, whose peculiar qualifications to hold that office cannot be gain said by his most bitter political enemy. Queens is alright! "The American Party has designated a superb ticket in Kings County, lead by that fearless champion of honest government, Col. Alexander S. Bacon, for Justice of the Supreme Court, in the Second Judicial District. Col. Bacon is an independent citizen, a great lawyer, and an American through and through. He deserves success at the polls on Election Day because he stands squarely for the progressive principles and for the ideals of patriotic America; because of his probity and sterling character; because of his fine sense of Justice, and ability as a lawyer; because of the splendid work he has done for the Social Welfare and Civic Righteousness. Every effort on our part will be made to elect Col. Bacon Supreme Court Judge, and the rest of our ticket in that grand old County of Kings. "The American Party—to a man—is for Woman Suffrage, and will vote for the Amendment to the Constitution, and do everything in its power, through its agencies, in every part of the State, to make the equal suffrage amendment, giving the women the right to vote, a part of the organic law of our State. "The American Party is against the adoption of the proposed Constitution as submitted to the people by the recent Constitutional Convention. It is opposed to the proposed Constitution because it is a libel on free government, and a menace to the sovereignty of our citizenship; because it is involved, and contrary to the spirit of the age; because it is undemocratic, unrepublican, unAmerican, and reactionary; because M.

PAGE FIVE What Tuskegee Institute, Booker T Washington’ School, Offers to Its Many Students. The New School Year Began September 14th +uskegee Institute opened its doors for another years’ work on Tuesday September 14th. In many respects the school is in better shape physically than ever before to care for the large number of students who have enrolled ‘Many improvements are being made or have been completed, the most im- portant of which is the completion of the new steam heating, lighting and water system and the central heating and power plant. New steam lines have been installed and run into all buildings used for class room work, shop work, and for living purposes, thus assuring comfortable quarters dur. ing the winter months. ‘The central heating and power plant is one of the most modern in the coun- try and is a great advance in the school’s efforts to give the student an opportunity of working under the most favorable auspices. The new laundry building will be in operation shortly after the opening of school. This is to be one of the most up-to-date laundries to be found in the South. It is housed in a separate build- ing adjoining th girls’ trades build- ing. The equipment will be of the best which will afford young women an op- portunity of studying laundering in all its branches. The new Veterinary Hospital is be- ing erected and will be opened during the coming school year. This build- ing is to be a modern structure and fully equipped. The Veterinary Di- vision will be able this year to care for a larger number of students than for- merly with superior instruction.

Among the loug established beliefs which bave in recent years been sadly disturbed is that of the deadly charac- ter of the upas tree. ~The exhalations of this tree were held to be so deadly that no animal life could survive witb- in 150 feet of it. Dr. J. D. Gimlette, an Englishman, who-has lived among the Malays for eighteen years, cites a story that when the poison from this tree is wanted by a Malay witch doctor twen- ty condemned criminals are sent for it. Usually ouly one or two return alive, and these are pardoned. He says that as a matter of fact the “deadly upas” is largely a fake; that the tree may be chopped down in safety by any one with a strong arm and a keen ax. The Malay smears his creese or arrow, says the doctor, with the inspissated juice of the tree, and if the wound is deep enough the poison produces a toxic effect on the heart similas to that produced by digitalis or by strophan- thus, a climbing vine of West Africa, which yields an arrow poison which acts directly on the muscles of the beart. Malay Weavons. ‘The national Malay weapon, the reese, is said to have been invented by a Javanese monarch of the four- teenth century. Its varieties are said to exceed a hundred, and there are in Javanese uo fewer than’ fifty names for them. It varies in size from the two foot wary blade of Sulu down to &@ mere toothpick. But the peculiarity is that the weapon is never ground, but kept rough und sawlike in edge by scouring with lime juice or the juice of an unripe pineapple, sometimes mixed with arsenic. and it is on this account that creese wounds are so dan- gerous. Old specimens are so eaten away by this practice that the blade seems formed from a bunch of wires roughly welded up. Such creeses are highly valued. and some of the ancient ones, heirlooms of chiefs. with gro tesquely carved and inlaid hilts and sheaths, wre almost unpurchasable. mil The deep green protective color of katydids makes it difficult to locate them on the foliage.

When we go out to observe some of the noisy creatures Wwe become disgusted with: the futile attempt. The trouble is we are likely to have w dozen katydids under our eyes and not distinguish their forms from the deep green leaves. Katydids belong to the grasshopper family. ‘They sometimes make a noise in daytime. but this is rather weak and a very dif- ferent one compared to the noise made at night.

If any other literary nun ever owned a howe more urignilicent thn Abbots ‘fort, the romantic palace of Sir Walter Scott. the globe trotters haven't heard of it’ From everywhere in Scotland came stones and carvings and metals to adorn it, and the construction of Ab- botsford went on slowly and fantas- tically, after the fashion of a rambling cathedral. Scott became the sheriff of the county, the king's local representa tive, and delighted to have the place always crowded with guests. The armory and the drawing room are so rich in curios that many visitors de scribe Abbotsford as the most interest- ing museum in Scotland. The novel- ist’s study and his library are just as he left them. ‘The 20,000 books which bank the walls of these two rooms from the floors to the beams of the ceil- ings did not lose their usefulness at his death. To persons with the proper credentials they are available for cir- culation.—C. P. Cushing in Travel. ‘Seen ue ilaeien. Alaska’s immensity impresses one be- yond belief.

In the dough from which bread is made there is a lot of sugar, which contains carbon. hydrogen and oxygen. It fs necessary to ferment this sugar to make bread edible. and yeast is used because it bas the power to do this. It is made from a plant baving this qual- tty. Fermenting sugar is equivalent to burning it, and there are two results. One is the formation of carbonic acid gas. A great deal of this gas is caught in the dough in the form of large or small bubbles. and some of it escapes into the air. The part that cannot es- cape causes the: dough to rise and makes the bread light. The boles in bread are the little pockets which held the carbonic acid gas. The effect of the bubbles is to lift the body of dough so.that the beat can penetrate readily and bake it properly. Dussentian Giirdan tule Our perception far outruns our tal ent.

Some years ago an American bust- ness min, wishing to get freight through a Russian port, approached the government agent with a request for expedition, He was told delivery might ve made in some weeks. The Amer- ican protested that he must have those ods immediately. “Have a cigar,” said the Russian off- cial, pushing a box toward the Amer- ican and leaving the room. The Amer- ican opened the box, found it empty and dropped in Sfty rubles. The Rus- sian came back, looked at the bos, pushed it toward the visitor and. as he again left the room, remarked, “Have another cigar.” The American dropped fifty more ru- bles in the box. The Russian official returned. looked at the cigar box and politely remarked. “Your goods will be delivered tomorrow, sir."—Wall Street Journal. ae The great temple of Zeus Olympins at Olympia.

Chicago, Ill. On a Chilly Fall Day Some folks tune up the Big Furnace — then shiver and wait for an hour or more, while the said furnace eats two dollars' worth of coal and generates ten times the amount of heat required. Other folks—wise and thrifty—let the furnace sleep and rely on Little Gas Heaters until real winter comes along. A twist of the wrist turns a gas-heater fire on or off—takes but a few minutes to make the dampest room warm and cosy at a fuel cost of pennies instead of dollars. Little Gas Heaters Are Ideal For Fall Heating Requirements The newest models, from $4.50 to $15.00 — monthly payments if you like — at any of our branch stores or our big salesroom downtown.
