On Monday last there was great exe-ment at Lincoln Park, so much so that Keeper De Vry had to call an ara scientist to help him find out a cause. The whole herd of ground left their habitation and filed on their keeper's office to make com-put about the strange noises, and did him unless they could get police election they would leave the city mediately for Kansas or Philadel- where quiet could be had. Mr. Vry tried in vain to explain and the cause, but could not, even best experts, so the ground up and left the city. Now without subjects for its fiction.

SHOWS A LACK OF APPRECIATION. there seems to be a lack of appreciation on the part of the majority of men, and particularly the young men, with a few exceptions, who inevitably accept when invited to attend affairs, when they fail to appear in conventional dress, which was a case a few nights ago, when every ill the house wore an evening dress. Atmospheric conditions is abolutely no excuse, and it destroys that air that every hostess is most concerned about when entertaining. To appear at an evening affair given inouts in an outing suit is just as dulicious as a dress suit at a picnic, yet we insist on appearing ridiculous. R'OF.

More and more is manual labor being displaced by machinery. Take it on the farms in the United States, for instance. Seed potatoes are now cut and planted by machinery. A self-feeder on the threshing machine displaces two men. Blast stackers and gasoline engines as applied in agriculture have abolished the constant annual labor of 150,000 men. The hand shearer has been supplanted by a machine on stock farms that makes 3,000 clips per minute. The combined header and thresher with a crew of five men can do the work that the old style machine required twenty men to do, and yet even the old style machine could do the work of 500 hand scythes and flails. Shelling corn used to give many thousands a chance to earn an honest living—a few dollars, at any rate; it required a good worker to shell five bushels a day, but now two men with a machine can shell 1,500 bushels a day. It required a swift worker to gin five pounds of cotton, but now two men with a machine will turn out 4,000 pours a day. One of the remarkable inventions of the century is the derrick pontoon that loads and unloads coal at seaports, making thousands of manual laborers unnecessary. The new device has nine hydraulic grabs, which grab down into the hold of a vessel, pull coal, weigh and register it and drop it through chutes on to barges and railroad cars. It can handle 5,000 tons daily. Down South a machine is coming into general use that plants tobacco, cotton and other products. A large planter is authority for the statement that with the cheap iron slave a profit can be made with 5-cent cotton. The manufacturing of boots and shoes offers some very wonderful facts in the matter of displacement of human labor. In one large and long-established manufacturing plant in an Eastern State the proprietor testified that it would require 500 persons working by hand processes to make as many women's boots and shoes as 100 persons now make with the aid of machinery, a displacement of manual labor of 80 per cent. In another class of the same industry the number of men required to produce a given quantity of boots and shoes has been reduced one-half. One operator can now stitch 1,000 pairs of shoes a day; in the old days it required a very fast worker to sew six pairs a day. ARE NEVER EXTINGUISHED. Flames Which Awe Regarded as Sacred—Oldest Fire in the World. In Slam is a fire that not only lasts for years, but has what have been aptly termed "Illegal descendants." It is to be found in a Buddhist temple near Bangkok, where every fourth year at a certain period the priests tight a fresh fire in a big brazier. This flame is kept alive for four years and is in turn extinguished after supplying a brand to ignite its successor, laminuch as this practice has obtained for upwag of two centuries the Buddhist fire of Bangkok is in a sense the oldest in the world. In Saradh, Persia, for 70 long years a flame has burned which is a symbol of religious fervor. It is death to extinguish it. In explanation of this curious rite it is explained that the Persians, rigid Mohammedans and regarding their former fire worshiping faith with deception, nevertheless suffer the Saradh flame to continue to display their gratitude for a service rendered a high official of the Persian government many years ago. At that time, it is said, a pious Parsee, who had come to trade at Saradh was the happy means of saving the grand vizier from assassination. So the grateful Shah of that day ordered that the fire lighted by the Parsee should be kept alive indefinitely. There are some regions of the earth, like those inhabited by the Espínalmux, where the motive for rescuing fires for long periods lies in the great difficulty of obtaining means for lighting new ones. One traveler reports seeing a fire in Lapland that had not been extinguished during seven years. It had been carried from place to place in an old ship's bucket. The keeping up of fires for years at a time is said to be sometimes an incident of a Sicilian vendetta. The wronged individual when lighting his "fire of vengeance" is said to take solemn oath that it shall not be extinguished until his thirst for revenge shall have been satisfied by the death of the offending person. There is on record a trial in Palermo wherein it was shown that the accused, charged with murder, had kept his kitchen fire alight for five years. Rather Ancient. Among the oldest living things must be classed certain trees. More than a century ago de Candolle found two news in England that were estimated to be 2,500 and 3,240 years old, respectively. Both of these trees, it is stated, are still flourishing, the older having a trunk of the circumference of 27 feet. A gigantic baobab of Central America, with a trunk 29 feet through, was thought by no less an authority than Humphrey to have attained the respectable age of 5,550 years. Mexican botanists have asserted that they have discovered a lifespan even greater than this, and from the annual rings of a cypress of Chapultepec, the trunk is 118 feet in circumference is estimated that the trees old. CHEAP UNITED STATES SENATOR William J. Stone, Shoots Pullman Car Waiter. Baltimore, July 29.—The man from Missouri, known as Stone, and a senator of the United States, shot at and tried to kill L. T. Brown, a waiter on the Pennsylvania R. R., because he would not take his (Stone's) insulting remarks, showing off before some of his friends, calling him "nigger," and saymc. "Get me a glass of whisky." Mr. Brown refused to wait on him. Stone, who is of the poor "white trash" class of Southerners, shapped him and fired at him the same time. Brown would have been shot had he not run into Stone and shoved the hand with the revolver into the air. The shot grazed his shoulder, whereupon Mr. Brown had Stone arrested. The way those white skunks are cutting up in Washington it will not be out of place for railroad meat to arm themselves, and when such as Stone sticks his head up to blow it off, as even the law praised Stone for trying to kill a hard working citizen. MRS. CLIFFORD JOHNSON IN A RUNAWAY ACIDENT. Mrs. Johnson, undertaker, 2712 State street, while out for a drive on Sunday afternoon in her high-seated buggy and her high-stepping "black beauty." Charlie, had quite an accident by attempting to jump from her vehicle when the animal became frightened. Charlie went south on Dearborn street, all right, and over 33th to Wabash avenue, made a few stops and then Mrs. Johnson decided to drive out to Washington Park. On her return she came down Grand boulevard. As she got to 39th street the reins got entangled under the horse's tail and this caused him to kick up and finally to run away. Mrs. Johnson, becoming frightened, tried to leap from the buggy. Her feet became entangled in the reins and she was thrown to the ground, breaking her right kneecap. Mr. Wm. Brown, Defender reporter, rushed over and stopped Charlie as he was dragging the unfortunate woman, and saved her Mr. Finding she could not walk, he notified Dr. Daniel Williams, at her request, and a taxicab was called, and she was taken to St. Luke's hospital, where the doctor said; she will recover in a few weeks with careful attention. MRS. EVA JANIFER LOOSES $1,500 DIAMONDS AND KEENEAKS. Rey, Janifer, 3430 Vernon avenue, fell over into his hammock on Wednesday afternoon after having moved every piece of furniture in the house for his wife's lost jewels and family heirlooms, and finally gave it up as a lost chord. Evidently some one knowing the family and the place they kept their valuables in took advantage of the situation and are now $1,500 to the good in precious stones, and keepsakes. Detectives are now on the job and are in hopes of running down the culprits in a few days. NORMAL PARK VS. GRACE AT HAMILTON PARK. The Grace time will be the opponents of Normal Park Saturday, July 31st, at Hamilton Park, 72d and Normal avenue. Lewis, the speedy left-handed twirder of the Grace team, has returned from his vacation and will be used in to-day's game. His return will strengthen the team considerably because of his ability to get on base often. Grace must win the remaining two games to win the championship of the South Division. Come out and root. Batteries: Normal Park, Lamb-Protsman; Grace, Lewis-Johnson. MR. MENDEZ AS HOST AT LE LAND GIANTS' BANGIET Should a lot of Spanish words strike you as you pass the Owl restaurant, 3119 State street on Saturday evening at S. do not become alarmed, it is only Mr. Mendez and his club, the Cuban Stars, and the Leland Giants at banquet over their lead of the best teams of the world. While at banquet the Topeka Gophers will join them. They are due to arrive in the city at 8:20 from Topeka, Kan., at that hour. MRS. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON IN MILWAUKEE. Thursday morning Mrs. Booker T. Washington, in company with Mrs. Geo. C. Hall and Mrs. Smith, were the guests of Mr. Binger, the banker, in an auto trip to Milwaukee. Mrs. Washington drove the car the last twenty miles into Milwaukee at a 2:10 clip, and showed she was mistress of the wheel. She expressed herself as highly delighted with the wheel. The party returned to the city at 10:43 Thursday night. The death of Mrs. Geo. Ecton. 3229 Prairie avenue. is quite a shock to her friends. It is thought her remains will be taken to Kentucky for interment. "Free lumber," avers the Omaha Bee, "seems to have gone by the board." Yea, its bark was wrecked. ALL SORTS. The world's average rainfall is sixty inches. The first sleeping car was started over the tracks in 1858. The newest telephone mouthpiece is of glass, which can be readily cleaned by boiling. The shadow of the moon falling on the earth during an eclipse generally covers an area of about fifty miles. Japan is selling coal to China to the value of about $5,000,000 a year, fully three-fourths of China's imports. The shipbuilding output of the United Kingdom last year was 926,699 tons, as against 1,007,890 tons the previous year. It is likely that there will be laws in New York and other States requiring that stock yards in the future be constructed of concrete. The Mexican state of Guadalajara is to have at last a modern dairy; 100 American cows are to be imported and 500 acres of land have been purchased. The most powerful dredge in the world is claimed for Russia. It can move 7,000 cubic yards of earth from the bottom of a river in the course of an hour. An American syndicate is building a large cement mill, and a vigorous campaign is being started to teach the Jap how to make use of this material. It is estimated that there will be produced in Alberta this year 20,000,000 bushels of wheat, and that the western half of Saskatchewun will do at least as well. The Limerick Chamber of Commerce has approved a resolution making Greenwich time the standard for the entire United Kingdom. Now Ireland is twenty-four minutes behind London. To "bear the bell" is a phrase derived from the custom of giving a bell as the prize at running matches in England. A little golden bell was given at York, England, as a reward of victory, in 1607. The exportations of condensed milk from the United States have shown a very rapid growth in recent years, the total value being in 1895, $219,785; in 1898, $671,670; in 1900, $1,139,402; in 1905, $2,156,616; and in 1908, $2,455,186. Leipsic, in Germany, has been so troubled with malaria that the city authorities have determined on a campaign to stamp out mosquitoes. Every householder will be asked to kill all the insects in his own apartments, after which inspectors will go around to see that thorough work has been done. SPLINTERS Exit—A has been. The kiss is always sweeter after a quarrel. You can always judge a man by his spite fence. Life's road is usually rough to those who are too thoughtless to grade it. Bates—Did you say that Jones had been taking a turn in the country? Yates—Yes, his automobile went over an embankment. While a man is making up his mind once a woman can change hers a dozen times. Borton—I understand that you make the trip by easy stages. Morten—Don't you believe it; the hacks I struck were the most uncomfortable in the country. It has to be a pretty thick partition wall when a woman doesn't know what the woman next door is doing. Father—Bessle, did that young man kiss you good-night in the doorway last evening? Blushing Daughter—Yes, papa. Father—There, mother. I told you that you didn't hear an automobile tire explode. BITS OF SCIENCE. The foreign population of China is estimated at 40,000. By placing the stems of cut flowers in a weak solution of sal ammonia they may be kept fresh from fifteen to thirty days. Peroxide of hydrogen will strengthen the background, color of blue prints that have faded through exposure to sunlight. Cream is separated from milk in a new machine which alternately subjects the milk to positive and negative electrical currents. Melbourne University plans to require five years of study by a person before granting him a diploma as a veterinary surgeon. Wooden sandals, to be attached with spring clips, have been invented for the use of horses on marshes or other soft ground. Tar-coated water pipes must be shellacked before they are painted, or the tar will make stains that will show through the paint. Skywear. It has been suggested that one of the most desirable forms of "skywear" for use in flying would be a "life-saving skirt," made of strong umbrella silk, "cut very voluminous, so that when filled with wind" it takes the form of a parachute." A Subtle Hint. Jimmie, your face is dirty again this morning," exclaimed the teacher. "What would you say if I came to school every day with a dirty face?" "Huh," grunted Jimmie, "I'd be too perlite to say anything." A bird in a cage is not half a bird. —Beecher. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS HOLD CONCLAVE IN PARIS, ILL. Dr. Edward S. Miller Elected State Grand Medical Examiner. Mayor Trogdon Makes Great Speech —Tells Visitors Every Hotel, Restaurant and Inn Are Open to Them—Points to Mallory Bros. and Brooks to Substantiate His Statements. Mrs. Irene Camp Makes Great Impression on Mayor, Who Compliments Her in His Speech of Welcome. (Air-o-phone.) Paris, IL, July 20, 1900—(Special.) —Paris has never before in its history had such a big time as it had this week during the conclave here by the K. of P's; from the opening to the end everything was done with dis- patch and order. Hon. S. A. Watkins, R. A. F. Shaw, Albert George, Dr. Mervin Bibbs, Mrs. Irene Camp and Dr. A. A. Wesley were all honored by the body by being elected to new and retained in their old offices. On Wednesday a parade of 500 men led by Hon. Ed D. Green, marshal of the day, Mr. R. A. J. Shaw was thrown by his horse, but being well up in acrobatic art, landed on his feet, remounted his steed and remained intact the rest of the parade. At Reservoir Park Dr. Wesley won the best dancer's prize. The Chicago delegation will return Saturday well pleased with their trip, bringing the bacon with them. This news was transmitted by the wonderful instrument known as the alrophone, the first of the kind used in America. - WESTWARD HO! Go by Rail Over the Santa Fe Trail. MILLED MILLER It is often remarked that everybody is traveled nowadays, that everybody has gone from the "turbulent waters of the Atlantic to the shores of the phacid Pacific, and from the banks of the ley lakes to the tropical lands around the Gulf," and that many have crossed the pond and journeyed even through the Orient. Notwithstanding these facts the Defender has many readers who for divers reasons do not get very far from the comforts of their own firesides (ahem, radiators), and these dear home friends are ones who are cordially invited to enjoy this little Western tour with us. Leaving Chicago over the Santa Fe for the far West there is nothing especially interesting to note. Kansas City is the first large city. Its importance as a manufacturing, railway and live stock center is too well known to occupy our time here. The famous Santa Fe trail began at what is now Kansas City, followed the Kaw River to Lawrence, then over the mountains through Raton Pass. The Indians made a military escort essential for travelers and wagon trains that went to the Southwest about thirty years ago. The alfalfa fields are especially attractive to one going through Kansas for the first time, but the Eastern traveler is anxious to reach the function of the great plains and the foothills of the Rockies. The atmospheric conditions being favorable Pike's Peak was seen clearly with the naked eye, although a hundred miles distant. Gradually we approached the first important range—the Raton Mountains—at whose base is situated the city of Trinidad. Here a delightful meal was taken in the Hotel Cardenas, a new structure built of brick and stone in the old mission style. The Cardenas was named for a Spanish captain who traveled through the Southwest with Coronado in 1540. Leaving Trinidad with two powerful mountain engines we start up Raton Pass, a remarkably steep grade. Trinidad can be readily called to mind because it is there you see first the adobe houses and Mexican settlements. We stood on the rear and gazed with delight upon the series of mountain views as the road wound its way up the mountain in sharp curves. In some places the mountains were covered with pines or shaded with aspen; others were covered with stones and then there were huge bare cliffs. The trail through the Raton Pass is especially interesting at this point, for before the time of railroads every caravan, overland stage, emigrant, soldier cavalcade bound to the Southwest passed what is now a dilapidated old house, once a toll house, near the summit of this pass. After a last view of the beautiful Spanish Peaks we pass a post with Colorado on one side and New Mexico on the other, and then plunge into a tunnel of dense darkness that is almost 8,000 feet above the level of the sea. It is announced that cigars may be made of alfalfa. They may be made of cabbage, too, but a majority of the people who use them prefer to have them made of tobacco. CANCER'S RAVAGES. This Awful Form of Disease Is Greatly on the Increase. Greatly on the Increase. "In the present era of preventive medicine and educational methods insculcating the lessons of right living there are few diseases but show a decrease in the mortality rate," declares Dr. John A. McGilln, assistant professor of gynecology in the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital of Philadelphia. "Cancer is, perhaps, of all others, the one disease which shows a progressive increase, and which is likely to continue to progress, inasmuch as we know practically nothing definite of its cause and consequently cannot in any way lessen materially its frequency. Except those who have studied its ravages, few, perhaps, realize what a scourge this most dreadful disease is." Cancer—is it not synonymous with the plague! Few hear of cases about them. Women who suffer from it conceal the affliction, many, indeed, actuated by a false modesty, hesitating even to consult physicians. And yet, like a sore long hidden, it has eaten its way into the heart of humanity, carrying off thousands upon thousands. Probably you will be surprised to learn how many people die of cancer. "In 1901, in the registration area of the United States, which represented a population of 31,292,130, there died 20,171 persons of cancer," said Dr. McGilln. "This represents a mortality rate of 64.5 per 100,000 of population. Of a population of 40,996,317 in 1906, the deaths numbered 29,020, at the rate of 79.8 per 100,000 of population. In six years there was an increase of 6.3 per 100,000." The deaths from cancer in the United States, startling as they are, are given as follows: In 1901, 20,171; 1902, 20,847; 1903, 22,235; 1904, 23,35; 1905, 24,330, and In 1906, 20,920. "Compared with a disease like tuberculosis, these figures are not so startling," says Dr. McGillan, "unless we realize that tuberculosis kills at all ages, but practically all deaths from cancer occur after the age of 61." A comparison of the death rate from cancer in the different countries is interesting. The annual average death rate per 100,000 population, from 1901 to 1905, shows that Switzerland leads in the mortality, the rate being 129.1. Next the Netherlands shows the largest mortality, the rate being 97.4. England and Wales show a rate of 86.5, and the United States, 68.3. With the exception of Austria, New Zealand, South Australia, Tasmania and Ceylon, all countries from which figures are obtainable show an increase in the rate. That cancer is more largely a disease of women is shown by figures compiled in England, which in 1905 showed that the rate per 100,000 was 75.6 per men and 100.5 for women. Compared with tuberculosis, the rate for men showed 134.7, and women 95.7. Dr. McGillin, who has made a study of the statistics of cancer in the United States, declares that most deaths from the disease are due to cancer of the stomach and liver. Of 140.08 deaths which occurred from 1901 to 1906, 51.398 of this death. Of the number, nearly 35,000 died of cancerous affections peculiar to women. PRIVATE HEALTH OFFICERS. Doctors Would Make Science of Med lining One of Prevention. From speeches made at the meeting of the American Academy of Medicine recently, it would appear that the medical profession is losing its prejudice against giving medical attention on the annual contract basis. That is the way in which medical services should in most cases be rendered, says a New York paper. Mines, factories, railroads and other industries have contract doctors, but they are usually called only in extreme or critical cases. As Dr. Benefiet says, "fear of running up a doctor's bill often prevents the poor man from sending for a physician until the disease has gone beyond the aid of surgery." Moving as often as most American families do, the doctor called in is frequently a stranger. The Chinese system of employing a doctor by the year and stopping his pay when any one is ill is more logical. That American family will be best served by its physician which arranges with him for yearly services which include periodical visits whether any one is ill or not. A doctor so employed is the family's private health officer. He sees insanity conditions and orders them changed. He drops a word about the gospel of the open window. He gets acquainted with the members of the family. He notices from little Bobby's squint that he ought to wear glasses, which Bobby's fond mother might not found out in years. He sees in time tendencies that might lead to tuberculosis, or warns an overwrought girl out of school in time to prevent a nervous breakdown. Under such a system the doctor and not the disease, would sometimes get the start in their neverending battle, and the science of medicine would become, as it ought to be, one of prevention, as well as cure. Remarkable Concrete Tower. Under the contract recently signed by the Secretary of the Navy the tower for the wireless station to be erected in Washington is to be 655 feet high. This tower will be of concrete, 50 feet in diameter at the base and eight feet in diameter at the top. If You See It in the DEFENDER, IT'S SO! PRICE 5 CENTS GUBAN STARS AND LELAND GIANTS. Play Ball in Spanish—Gunthers as Interpreters—A Great Double-Header, Mrs. Booker T. Washington to Have Box Seat—Jack Johnson to Umpire Game. Great Array of Society Visitors and Home Folks Will Be in Attendance at Provident Hospital Great Benefit-Seats Being Sold Fast; 1,500 Already Disposed Of. WHITE SOX PARK THE PLACE. Thursday, August 5th, Chicago will be honored for the first time with the presence of the Cuban Stars on the South Side. These gentlemen have decided to assist Provident Hospital raise a fund to help keep the hospital and buy the necessaries to comfort the sick and afflicted. The management of the White Sox Park, 29th and Wentworth avenue, have also given the use of the grounds free of charge in order that Provident may continue to do the good work it has done in the past. Mr. Gunther, the candymaker, hearing of the above, offered his club if the Lelanders would play a double-header. This was accepted, therefore giving the public the benefit of seeing the three leading teams in Chicago in action. The game will be called at 2 o'clock, and special reserved seats for Mrs. Booker T. Washington will be the feature of the day—giving every one a chance to see a real all-round race woman. More than 1,500 seats have been sold already, and it looks as if 4,000 people will be in attendance. All Defender fans will be out. If it rains the game will be played on Friday, Aug. 6th. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH SAMBO? Rev. Chas. Nelson Granderson, who lectured at Bethel church on Monday evening to a fair audience, would have made a great hit if he were in the South, but in Chicago, where at all colored gatherings there is always a sprinkling of white, that kind of a lecture won't do. The reverend gentleman should have been told this fact. Quite a number of these colored churches are saved from the auction block by white people and we cannot afford to have such affront hurled at them as was done on Monday evening. On Tuesday morning the question to the above subject was answered by Mr. Moses Samuels. Aaron Nash, Sonny Balay and a Defender reporter at 11st and State when the Sambo matter was solved—he "celebrated." THE END OF TIME AT HAND CHURCH CLOCKS LEAVING Whether time is no more or the church members are so bad the clocks were forced to leave the various south side congregations is a thing various church officers are now trying to solve; for the past month several churches have held their congregations over time because they had no clocks to go by. A beautiful $18 clock at Grace Presbyterian church left the congregation for parts unknown and did not even place its notice in the personal columns of the Defender. In its place a sleepy old 75-year-old is resting, trying to take the place of a 20th century. It admitted Sunday morning it could not do the job, and placed its hand on its face and refused to work. Several other churches, it is said, were robbed of their time pieces. Too bad. MR. HARRY MORGAN ENCIRCLED THE WORLD. There are very few men who have had the pleasure of going around the world and then coming back and prying a two and three flat building; well, Mr. Harry Morgan, 1641 Indiana avenue, an ardent Defender reader, is the man with this distinction. It is worth a farm to sit and hear him tell you about Japan and how the Jaws treat the colored man and how he was treated in Russia. He says, "while I like the cities of the old world on account of dear friends in America I prefer to be at home" Mr. Morgan is a friend of Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Carter, 168 320 street. MR. J. T. PANNELL Owns. and Operates Three Grocery Stores in Chicago. Mr. J. T.

Wednesday night was fat ladies' night on State street cars. Don't forget Officer Tucker and his case. Let everybody get busy. A brown stone front can't be built in a Pullman dining car. We were not all day Tuesday learning what happened to Sambo. Young men, every summer girl that grins at you should not be counted among your admirers. If Samba makes another haul as heavy as the one recently there will be a job for Fletcher or Hatcher. Rube Poster is some ball player. He played in St. Paul last week in a roller chair and won his game. The Chicago Tribune is so afraid that the citizens will take Mrs. Booker T. Washington for a white woman they head their article about her "Negro Teacher's Wife." An American has been sentenced to a term in jail in Paris for selling worthless mining stock to Frenchmen. Some of our American promoters will regard this as another blow at personal liberty. Wireless telephony was tested with success at Paris, the other day, when conversation from the Elfel tower was carried on over a distance of thirty miles. Looks as if it was coming. "If women are compelled to take off their hats in church," writes "Perplexed," "where can they put them? If on their laps, how can they stand up when the preacher asks them to rise and sing?" We give it up. Secretary Dickinson says he has received instructions from President Taft to save $20,000,000 in the War Department during the fiscal year 1911. How would you like to have the job of saving $20,000,000 in a year? Officers and members of the Eighth Regiment agree say that they had a delightful time in Springfield, and that the rumor that Jim Crow cars was all rumor and nothing more. The Defender is awfully glad to report such to its readers, for we are sure the officers' statements must be taken as authentic. --- Each succeeding generation is better than the last. That is why we do not burn witches nor own slaves. And we do many things which our children's children will think criminal and silly. Our youngsters have every indication of living in a better time than we have seen. At the suggestion of the Peruvian minister at Panama, the-President has ordered that the Pacific mouth of the canal shall be named for Balboa, the discoverer of the Pacific. The Atlantic entrance is already named for Columbus. The suggestion was made on the ground that Peru profited more than any other country by Balboa's discovery. While Americans have been considering the need of a compulsory voting law, the Spaniards have passed such law, and it was tested for the first time recently. Among the penalties for those who neglect to vote is an increase of 2 per cent in their tax bills. For a second offense the right hold office may be denied to the tender. MAKES WORLD'S 1.ECORD. Hour and Twelve Minutes. The world's aeroplane record for two men, as to both time and distance, was broken Tuesday evening in a beautiful flight at Washington, D. C., of 1:12:40—upwards of fifty miles and at a speed averaging about forty miles an hour—by Orville Wright at Fort Myer, with Lieut. Frank P. Lahm of the army signal corps as passenger. The former record was made last year by the aviator's brother, Wilbur, joint inventor with him of the machine in which both achievements were performed at Le Mans, France, with Prof. Painleve of the French institute as passenger. The flight was 1:09:31. Wilbur was an eager spectator of Tuesday's flight by his brother. "You just scotched your brother's record without really damaging it much," remarked a newspaper man to Orville after the flight. "That's all we meant to do," replied Orville with a smile, which his big brother appreciatively duplicated. The cheering which heralded the setting of a new mark in the conquest of the air was led by President Taft in person, who had sat an intensely interested spectator throughout the flight, and who insisted at its conclusion upon personally congratulating the brothers upon their success. This success was all important to the Wrights in that it completed the first of two crucial tests of their machine imposed upon them by the United States government—the so-called "endurance test"—which required them to remain one hour continuously in the air with one passenger. Orville did nearly thirteen minutes better than that, and could have kept on indefinitely three hours and a half, the limit imposed by the gasoline capacity of the supply tank. SAFE LOOTED; SEEK EMPLOYE. Banked Robbed of $60,000 and Trusted Aid Suddenly Vanishes. The First National Bank of Tipton, Ind., one of the oldest financial institutions of Northern Indiana, is closed and its assistant cashier, Noah R. Marker, has disappeared. Between $50,000 and $60,000, which was all the cash that was in the bank's vaults at the close of last Saturday afternoon, is missing. Marker, sweeping together the money, set the time lock on the safe so that it could not be opened until 9 o'clock Monday morning and left the city, it is charged by the police. Marker left a note on the desk of his brother, William Marker, cashier of the bank, saying that he had gone forever and that he had taken "enough money to pay his expenses." William Marker, the cashier, says that he feels sure his brother will return in a few days and face prosecution. Noah Marker has been connected with the bank nineteen years. He was the Republican candidate for mayor of the city four years ago. He was an active church member. He is 35 years old and has a wife and two children. CHECKS DEPORTING OF ALIENS Immigration Bureau Rebukes In- trusion for North Arks Spectators for History Action. "Of late the arresting and deporting of aliens has increased enormously and a tendency is noted in some cases to sacrifice quality of work to quantity. This will not do. There must be no merely superficial inquiry in any cases. Officers must not submit recommendation for arrest upon irresponsible, uninvestigated accusation." This was the sharp rebuke administered in instructions which have just been sent out from Washington by the Bureau of Immigration to all commissioners of immigration and inspectors in charge, directing attention to the failure of investigating officers in making thorough preliminary inquiry, especially in cases of alleged violation of the alien contract labor law. The placing of petroleum on the free list by a substantial majority of the Senate apparently has not taken all of the light out of the independent oil producers, and another effort in the direction of protection for this industry will be made when the tariff bill shall have been perfected in the committee of the whole and reported to the Senate. Senator LaFollette has issued a formal analysis of the Aldrich bill from the insurgent viewpoint, based on the figures prepared by treasury experts. From these he estimates that the increases over the House bill would affect imports to the value of $146,125,000, while the decreases in the Senate bill would affect imports to the value of $93,525,000, using the business of 1907 as the standard. It has been reserved for the American suffragette at New York to originate some novel methods of summer campaigning. During the week two militant leaders have invaded the business section of the city with a street plane or hurdy-gurdy to attract attention to the literature which they wished to distribute, and a tambourine in which to collect pennies. Down in Wall Street the women agitators met with a hostile reception and were compelled to retire. The President discussed with his cabinet the question of the census patronage in the South. It was agreed that the policy would be to make these appointments without regard to political affiliations, but the appointees to be men of standing in their places of residence. Since the meeting of the President and Gov. Hughes during the Lake Champlain celebration, the rumor has been that the effect of a tender of the first vacancy on the Supremd bench was made to the Governor by: Mr. Taft. Friends of Hughes think it doubtful that he would accept the place in the near future. SPAIN IN AN UPROAR; ALFONSO IS HOOTED Rioting in Barcelona and Other Cities in Catalonia Hourly Is Becoming More Serious. MARTIAL LAW EVERYWHERE Returning King Learns of Victory at Heavy Cost in Moroccan Battle Rioting in the provinces of Catalonia, Spain, and the general manifestations of discontent in Madrid over the continuance of the war against the Kabyle tribesmen in Morocco have given rise to grave fears that the entire country is on the brink of a revolution. King Alfonso Wednesday declared all Spain under martial law and announced a temporary suspension of constitutional guarantees. He announced that the rioting in Catalonia would be put down at all costs and arranged to dispatch to Barcelona at once two cruisers and the entire Third and Fourth Army corps, under the personal command of Prince Charles of Bourbon. Prince Ferdinand of Bavaria also will accompany the troops, with the rank of squadron commander. King Alfonso was hounded on the streets as he drove from the railroad station to the royal palace on his return from San Sebastian. Cries of "Down with the king!" were heard on every hand. Barcelona is the center of the worst rioting, and it is there that the uprising against the war policy of the government seems to center. The authorities feel that their first care must be to break the spirit of the Barcelona rebels, after which they can subdue the malcontents in other places with greater case. Wednesday marked a black chapter in Spain's history, for there was tragedy both at home and abroad. The king reached Madrid in time to learn that part of his army at Melilla had had a bloody battle with the Moors, which, though the final victory was won by the Spaniards, cost the lives of twenty-one officers and a total of 200 Spaniards killed or wounded. STORM DEAD TWENTY-ONE. Fourteen Missing Along Gulf Coast and Property Damage $750,000. Twenty-one reported dead, fourteen missing, ten injured and a property loss totaling $750,000 is the result of the storm which raged over the southern coast of Texas Wednesday. Of those missing, thirteen are the members of the families of three brothers Abernathy, who left High Island Tuesday, intending to go to Sabine Pass. They traveled by wagon and were to camp out on the beach during Tuesday night, resuming their journey Wednesday. Part of their equipment has been found, the animals which drew the wagon drowned, but searching parties have found no trace of the three men, their wives or the seven children who made up the party. The storm practically demolished the town of Velasco, but only one life was lost. WOMAN GONE; FEAR FOUL PLAY Clothes Found on Pond Bank India 2014 Short Story Competition State That Tragedy Occurred. The finding of a woman's cap, stockings and petticoat on the bank of Truer's pond near by lends a sinister aspect to the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the young woman from a hotel in Burlington, N. J., last Thursday. The missing woman, together with a man supposed to be a New York broker, registered at the Metropolitan Inn Wednesday evening as Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins of New York. The man left on the early train for New York Thursday morning, and the woman, who seemed to be in trouble, hired a horse and carriage for a drive in the country. Later the team was found deserted on the bank of Rancas creek. Letters in the woman's suitcase were addressed to "Miss A. M. Wilson, Manhattan Hotel, New York." Six torpedo boat destroyers which have been in Puget Sound for nearly a month, met at Seattle Monday and then began a long cruise to Alaska, to acquaint officers and men with the northern waters and to give an opportunity for maneuvers. The destroyers are the Whipple, Truxton, Hull, Paul Jones, Perry and Hopkins. Happy Birthday to you. Barry Pullman Shoots Himself, Harry C.

A $6,000,000 biscuit company, which probably will enter into active competition with the National Biscuit Company (the cracker trust), was organized in Hartford, Conn., the other day, papers of organization being filed with the Secretary of State. The company is organized under the laws of Connecticut and is called the General Biscuit Company. The $6,000,000 capital is to be half common and half preferred stock. Officers of the new company are: President, John B. Summerfield, of the firm of John B. Summerfield & Co., note brokers of 71 Wall street; vice president, Arthur N. Taylor, of Brooklyn; and secretary and treasurer, Henry M. Haviland, of Brooklyn. Mr. Summerfield is a trustee of the City National Bank, Brooklyn, president and director of the Miners' Smelting Company, and a director of the W. H. Beard Dredging Company. HONESTY BRINGS LIFE POSITION Brakeman Restores Fortune in Gems Wins a Lustful Goodwill **With a Lasting Gratitude.** A black leather handbag has proved to be a veritable Aladdin's lamp for William Robelin, a brakeman on the Long Island Railroad. The brakeman turned the jewels over to railroad officials and soon found that the bag had been left in the train by Mrs. H. Schwab, the wife of a New York jeweler. Mrs. Schwab and her relatives called for the jewels, which were said to be worth $30,000, and asked to see Robelin. When he was produced they presented him with $100 in cash, provided him with two suits of clothes and instructed him to take two weeks' vacation and then report to the Malden Lane office of Mr. Schwab to accept a position at $100 a month for life.

Six are dead and more than fifty injured as a result of the wreck of Washah passenger train No. 4, bound for St. Louis, near Orick, Mo. thirty miles east of Kansas City. A number of the injured are badly hurt and the death list may be increased, while many have injuries of only a minor nature. The wreck was the result of the current of the Missouri River undermining the track and causing the train to slide into the river. The engine first plunged into the stream, followed by the baggage and mail cars, a "dead" Pullman car and a chair car. Most of the injured passengers were riding in the chair car. This car was "only partially submerged, but was stood on end, throwing the people violently around and causing a number of broken bones and other injuries.

Tribesmen Attack Before Dawn and Are Recalled After Furious Battle Are Repelled After Furious Battle. An official statement concerning the fight between the Spaniards and the Kabyle tribesmen says that before dawn Friday morning the Moors opened a general attack on the Spanish advanced position at Melilla, Morocco, concentrating their efforts against Sidi Musa and the garirion at Cape Moreno. The fighting was of the most furious character, but a sortie by six companies of Spanish infantry and a light field battery was successful and the enemy fell back two kilometers. In the fighting a Spanish colonel and three other officers were killed and thirteen wounded. The number of casualties among the killed men is not known. Newly debarked troops have been hurried to the front. At 4:20 o'clock in the afternoon the Moors renewed their attack and defeated the Spanish troops. Under a galling fire by the Moors they were unable to hold the ground they had gained and at nightfall, in order to avoid disaster, retreated to their old positions. Eight Soldiers Return with Spouses Won in Asiatic Possessions. Eight of the negro troopers of the Tenth United States Cavalry which returned on the transport Kilpatrick and who took part in a parade and reception in New York, brought with them their Filipino wives. They will take them with the regiment to Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, within a few days. The war department has taken a vigorous stand in reference to the marriage problem in the Philippines, so far as members of the service are concerned. The government has insisted that when a soldier, whether a private or an officer, marries a Filipino woman he must take her with him when he returns to the United States. FOUR BOMB SUSPECTS HELD. Columbus Police Believe They Have Men Implanted in Murder. The Columbus, Ohio, police have taken into custody four Italian suspects in connection with the dynamiting of the house of Pasquella Spino, west of the city, when Spino and his young bride of four months were killed and their house wrecked. Included in the list of suspects is Tony Andrania, whose wife is said recently to have quarreled with Mrs. Spino, and who was a former suitor of the latter. Andrania, according to the police, told the mother of the dead young woman a week ago that she soon would be wearing mourning for her daughter. NEW ISLE IN PACIFIC Mysterious Land Near Gambier Group is Reported by Captain. According to Captain Quatrevaux of the French ship Thiers, which has arrived at San Francisco from Newcastle, Australia, a new island has sprung up from the waters of the Pacific near the Gambier group. Captain Quatrevaux says there is something uncanny about the new islet, for when his ship approached it, although no wind was blowing, a mysterious swell drew the vessel toward the shore and it was with the utmost difficulty that she was saved from going on the rocks. The island is located in latitude 24.25 degrees south, longitude 128.90 degrees west, and seems to be composed of volcanic rock. Long Term for Bank Robber.

Prof. Charles Zueblin Tellis Chautauquans That Race Is Too Carless. WOMEN LEAD IN CIVIC IDEAL Gentler Sex Solving Its Economic Dependence and Labor Unionism Moves Onward. "The American people, their mis busied with frivolous, unimpirical things, are more interested in who worn on Miss Taft's head, "I"wag goes on in Mr. Taft's brain. Scorb in the transient and trivial, they have little interest in the real significance of such all-important matters as labor movement, the woman's movement and the higher criticism of Bible."

This was the manner in war Mr. Zuehlin expressed his conviction of the inevitability of the organization of labor. "It is true," he conced, "that the best element among working men belong to these organizations, but does not control or pate in their government; in the same way the same kind of ment does not participate in the nucipal government. But more more the pressure of the factory tem will compel these people to together if they do not get what are demanding from their own cities, and through that unfortun fighting that is going on to-day."

Subscriptions and matter for publication from Southern Michigan district for the Chicago Defender may be communicated to our correspondent at 189 Colfax avenue, Benton Harbor, Mich THE DEFENDER UP-TO-DATE. The Defender is $1.50 the cheapest and newsiest paper in the city, cash, of course. All short reading notices 75c. per week. Display ads 50c. per inch. All subscriptions, notices and ads must be paid for in advance. No favors in our business life-free mention in our personal columns from time to time of our advertisers. The Defender came every week last year because our friends helped to keep it up; will you do the same this year? If your paper is not delivered on Saturday, notify us and we will see the reason why. We ask our readers who have not paid their subscriptions to please send it to the office, 3159 State street. We are in need of it. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NEWS AND ADVERTISEMENTS Numbers of our friends will, we say, give a ball, they send the notice to us before it is given with price, date and admission and what orchestra and tell us that it is news for our paper. Well, that is not news until it is over. It is an ad. pure and simple, and we charge for it. Former President Eliot, of Harvard, is compiling a set of "best books" for Collier's. The New York publishers are evidently determined that we shall not be seriously bothered by the problem of disposing of our ex-Presidents. A Frenchman has started out to walk 75,000 miles in eight years. He would probably kick vigorously if he had to get up at night and walk fifty laps with a baby. FACTS IN TABLOID FORM --- The coal fields of England cover 13, 000 square miles. A telephone line is being constructed in the Alps which will hold the record for height. There is not a port in Europe, and few, if any, in the world, where the matter of tides is of no consequence. About 5,000 trespassers are killed every year on the railroads, and 5,000 more are seriously injured, many of them becoming public charges. It is calculated that from one-half to three-fourths of these trespassers are tramps. Boston, where the idea of an annual work horse parade originated, does not see to have much trouble in getting the money necessary for prizes and other expenses of the procession on Memorial day. A recent report shows about $2,500 available for this year. Among the innovations proposed is a class for champion old horses, open to animals that have taken the gold medal in years past. Today the collection in the National Library comprises nearly 2,500,000 items—1,500,000 printed books and pamphlets, and nearly 1,000,000 other articles (manuscripts, maps, prints and music)—by all means the largest collection of the western hemisphere and perhaps the third largest in the world. They are increasing at the rate of about 70,000 books and pamphlets and 50,000 other articles yearly. Tradition is but a meteor, which, if it once falls, cannot be rekindled. Memory, once interrupted, is not to be recalled. But written learning is a fixed luminary, which, after the cloud that had hidden it has passed away, is again bright in its proper station. So the books are faithful repositories, which may be awhile neglected or forgotten, but when opened again, will again impart instruction.—Dr. Johnson. An old inmate of an almshouse in New York, age 86, who had never in the course of her life seen an automobile before, fell in a dead faint in the street when one whizzed by her, with the horn tootling. When she recovered she told the doctor who had attended her that she had been in bell and had seen satan. Some of the victims of the speed maniacs would not quarrel with her diagnosis of the situation. In connection with his new system of wireless telephony Prof. Q. Majorana used a liquid microphone. This consists of a small tube which is attached to the diaphragm of the microphone and through which a stream of water flows between a pair of platinum electrodes. When the microphone is vibrated by the voice the stream of liquid fluctuates, varying the electrical resistance in accordance with the sound of the voice. There are several old bells in Scotland, Ireland and Wales; the oldest are often quadrangular, being made of thin iron plates which have been hammered and riveted together. At the monastery of St. Gall in Switzerland the four-sided bell of the Irish missionary St. Gall, who lived in the seventh century, is still preserved; but more ancient still is the bell of St. Patrick in Belfast which is ornamented with gold and gems and silver filigree. The number of button factories in the United States in 1905 was 275. These represented a capital of $7,783,900, and gave employment to 11,335 persons, to whom was paid in salaries and wages $4,691,669. The aggregate value of buttons and by-products from these factories during 1905 was $111,133,769. Over half of the 275 button factories in the United States engaged to a greater or less extent in the manufacture of pearl buttons, an increase of over 20 per cent since 1900 in the number so engaged. In the year 1907, 56,133 pounds of human hair was invoiced at this consulate-general for shipment to the United States, while in 1908, 207,414 pounds were declared for shipment. This hair is brought to Hong-Kong from the interior and here cleaned and sorted, according to length and quality. It is then packed and either stored or disinfected, in accordance with quarantine regulations, and shipped to New York. It is said here that the hair can be so treated in New York as to alter its color and texture, and that it is used in making the switches, curls and bands, which are so fashionable in the United States.—Consular Reports. Cattaro, the Austrian sea gate of Montenegro, which was recently believed to be threatened by Prince Nicholas's guns, was held by Montenegro once for a little time. Montenegro acquired it in 1813 with the aid of a British squadron. Any inhabitant of Cattaro who was contemporary with the rise and fall of Napoleon must often have had to pause and think what country he belonged to. For, having been Venetian for centuries, Cattaro became Austrian by the treaty of Campo Formio, and Italian in 1805 by the peace of Pressburg. It was absorbed in the French empire in 1810, and wrested from it in 1813, and finally, in 1814, Russia compelled Montenegro to cede it to Austria. Uncle Sam's postage stamps are manufactured by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing at Washington; the stamped envelopes and newspaper wrappers are made under departmental supervision, under contract, by a private corporation whose factory is located at Dayton, O., while his postal cards are made under similar conditions at Rumford, Me. From these points distribution is made to postoffices throughout the country upon requisition of postmasters duly approved by the department. Postage-stamped paper issued during the year aggregated $176,974,190.24, an increase of $3,967,713.97 over 1907. The total number of pieces of stamped paper was 9,772,059,664, an increase of 440,140,699; books of stamps, 18,213,310, an increase of 526,510. That the issue of postage stamps will cross the ten-billion mark during the fiscal year 1909 is confidently anticipated.—A. L.

If yon doubt it, examine the remarkable pictures in the Kokka by ‘Tani Buneho. The Nippon Oyobi Nipponjin has 500 payes devoted to a resume of the Intellectual history -of the new era in Japan. Politics, the press, the relic. ious movement and all the chief fac- tors of the national life are discussed by the ablest Japanese writers, among them ‘Takada, ‘Takagl and Count Okuma. ‘There is also a complete re- view of the careers of newspapers and periodicals during the past 20 years. ‘These orguns have had varied fortunes, some living but a few months while thetr less ephemeral rivals have some- time won a far less notable success than they hoped to. As In America, competition is too keen, and only a few journals enjoy a iarge circulation. ‘Tho periodicals succeed best, and they have Immensely Influenced public opin- fon, winning It over to an acceptance of western Ideas which were formerly held in abhorrence.
