If we only had a few men with the backbone of Mrs. Barnett lynching would soon come to a halt in Amidea.

NEGRO COOKS WANTED AT U. S. NAVAL STATION ONLY White Were to Be Used for Everything Except Cooking, Blacking Boots and Carrying The United States government will spend something like $3,500,000 for a naval station to train young white men, it is said, for the navy. Foreign born white men, at that, it is said. Whether the statement is true or not, it seems too bad that we of the Negro race, who fought in all the government's wars, are not allowed an education along the line he is forced to use in time of war. Two gentlemen (white), discussing the matter the other evening at the Congress Hotel, said: "You see, this will be a great station. White men are to be used for everything except cooking, blacking boots and carrying out swill."

COOPER Still in Cultured Boston. Boston, Mass., Dec. 30.—Dr. Cooper was more than surprised to-day to have a Defender reporter walk in on her in her busy office, and when our reporter told her who he was and all that, she leaned back in her easy chair, pen in her mouth and said, "Well, you Defender people are O. K. You may tell my Chicago friends that I am faring fine, but will return home soon. I am associated with the D. Augustus Cooper Co., dealers in perfumes and toilet articles also. I am taking a post course in diseases of women and children. I got two Defenders on Christmas morning, sent me by Mrs. Luella Duncan and must say it was the greatest present I received. for I followed those reporters every which way and almost before I can get through reading my paper he is in my office. Remember me kindly to the editor and tell him to go right ahead. Our people here in Boston are away behind those in Chicago from a business standpoint. There are more men in business between 26th and 31st than the whole of Boston, of color." 25 NEGRO MEN AND WOMEN LYNGHED AND SHOT FOR FUN. Jan. 1, 1910, may look over into the record of 1909 and it will count the bleached bones of 325 Negro men and women killed and burned at the stake for fun, and not a man to stay the flendish hand of the mob, nor the rapist, who has victimized 28,000 colored girls between the ages of 12 and 18 years, and yet not a government to send a sword, saying nothing of a battleship, to protect them. This was done by Southern white men and boys and upheld by the Constitution of each State government, and it is said by the U. S. government. The young college Negro calls a halt for 1910 or the world will hear a sad, sad tale before 1911 rolls the curtain of 1910 back. APPOMATTOX CLUB. The Appomattox Club dance at Masonic Temple was snowed under on Tuesday evening in that owing to the fierce gale blowing with blinding snow. There were only fifteen couples out, but they had a grand old time. This is the first time in the history of the club that a "free doings" was so utterly ignored. When the newly elected president and wife arrived, Louie B. Anderson, who heard loud music as he climbed the elongated stairs his chest protruded and he began to climb two steps at a time, not stopping to look in at the door he threw his coat off, handed it to the checkroom man, bustled into the hall and then his colors fell. All this would not have happened if Mr. Trott did not place a verse of Longfellow's poem entitled "The Day is Done" at the head of his program. Mr. Anderson read the little verse and said, "Well, I guess yes; the day is done!" but bad beginning is generally good ending. Mr. Arthur Wells was the best dancer. He danced way down in Missouri, and Mr. B. F. Moseley tried to do the same, but the boys would not stand for it. President, Moseley led the grand march with Mrs. J. T. Morton. Among those present were the following: Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. Hawley, Mrs. Ale. Mr. Espy, Mr. others. There dancing until well pleased.

JACK JOHNSON SHEDS TEARS Champion of the World Breaks Down in Mother's Arms-The Strong Arm of Motherly Love Gives Jack an Upper Cut Which Puts Him to Sleep and Finally the Count. Little Brown Babies for Xmas Tree-M Chattangogr His Niece One on the long be remembered 3344 Wabash avenue the reporters for the got the tip that Jack detrain at Grand Cros his car from there to hit the trip, fired a car, and at were at the Crossing. Soon after Jack's train rolled in, out shot his car, and after the champion got through inspecting it he and Manager Little got in, and through streets, parks, across prairies and what not, they went, followed by the Defender party. When we struck Stony Island avenue they began to out-distance us, but knowing his destination, we cut up some ourselves and landed at his house fifteen minutes after he arrived. When we got to the house he was just coming down the stairs, having changed his clothes. The whole family met in the parlor, and it is here where Jack met his mother for the first time in seven years. The only paper represented of all the papers in Chicago, both dailies and weeklies, was your own Defender. Jack fell into his mother's arms and cried like a child, while all the rest of the family sobbed bitterly. Little Arthur Johnson, who was called Jack's son by the daily papers, is only his nephew, who is named for Jack. He says, "I am going to be like Uncle Jack." After witnessing the scene of Gladiator and mother, the reporters retired and the family entered their beautiful dining room, where Jack's mother had prepared, with her own hands, some of those good biscuits Jack ate when he was a boy. When asked why they got colored babies for their children they said we like them because they are made by colored people, and that it helps give colored girls and boys work do, while the other babies mean degradation to our people from the wom standpoint, and it's very prisen means resentment, for we were it that a colored girl was not permit to handle one in a store downtown sell it, so we will not permit one our home to be played with.

A pestiferous itch for something different seems to have beset the artistic souls responsible for the issue of our money and stamps. Our gold pieces first felt the innovator's touch, and since then the artists of the treasury and the postoffice have eagerly seized upon every pretext to foist the unfamiliar into our purses and upon our letters. Presumably the end is afar. Eight new sanctuaries for birds and animals have been set apart in the state of Victoria, Australia, by the government within a year. This is in addition to the ordinary protection afforded by law to kangaroos, platypus, mugpies, laughing jackals and certain other animals, and is intended to present the extermination of native creatures. Several years ago a private citizen established a game sanctuary in north Australia, and the birds within are now about as tame as domesticated chickens. A similar fearlessness man is noted in the East African ame preserve along the railroad on which Mr. Roosevelt traveled on his way to the hunting fields.

Driven in a terrific northeast gale, blowing more than sixty miles an hour, a tidal wave swept the coast of New England Sunday foenoon, broke over the seventeen-foot sea dike at Chelsea, engulfed 250 houses, took a toll of three lives, made 1,200 houseless and left the shore to the north and south of Boston strewn with the wreckage of summer cottages. Water reached to the second stories of many houses, and the fact that the loss of lives was not greater was due in a large part to Policennan James E Dolan, who saw the tidal wave come over the dike and sounded a warning which sent people scurrying to the upper floors of their houses. One man fell dead from excitement and two children were found unconscious in two feet of water and were sent to the hospital and were resuscitated. The tidal wave swept over Atlantic wave in Boston, along which the const steamers and fishermen dock, and filled the cellars of warehouses, causing damage estimated at $1,000.00. For several hours the town of Ilull was an island and life-savers rescued people from their houses in the lowest section. At Bliddeford, Me, scores of cottages were wrenched from their foundations and swept out to sea. Wreckage of houses is strewn along the beaches at Prout's Neck, Old Orchard, Ferry Beach, Camp Ellis and Bliddeford Pool. The Northwest woke up Christmas morning to find that the weather man had presented them with the worst December snowstorm in more than a decade. From the northern limits of the country to the southernmost tier of counties in Illinois a smooth, fleecy blanket lay over the whole country, hiding out of sight the bare tops of hills, filling up valleys and ravines, and in the broad open spaces where the wind had full play wrinkling up into fantastic drifts that buried fences, blocked roadways and completely obliterated miles of railroad tracks. Whipped by a gale that at times reached a velocity of forty-eight miles an hour, the snowstorm swept eastward from the Mississippi Valley during the day. It took a wide path, reaching as far south as Tennessee and North Carolina and extending north into, upper New York State. In New York City it almost stalled street car and suburban train service. A picturesque Christmas gift and one most suitable to the day Chicago found it, but, with the romantic features left out of consideration, an inconvenient and expensive one. Before another twelve hours had passed thousands of dollars had been spent in tearing rents through the blanket to make way for the trains that carry the country's traffic, and all night linemen were at work repairing the telegraph wires that the snow had broken down in its descent AIRSHIP SAILS TO PEAK Western Youth's Aluminum Craft Lands Trio on Mount Rainier Reginald Weatherby, 22 years old, who lives at Spinnaway Lake, eleven miles south of Tacoma, has achieved a triumph in aviation, after three years devoted to experiments, that gives him high rank as an aeronaut. He has completed and successfully tried out his aluminum aeroplane. With two companions aboard the aircraft, Weatherby circled the summit of Mount Rainier on a recent night. The party alighted on the rim of the crater of the mountain at an elevation of nearly 15,000 feet and then sailed off again over the snowfields. Weatherby was educated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston. He developed his airship model at his uncle's home and is jubilant over his success. His friends are amazed. The new feature of the Weatherby machine is a substitution of a system of undulating planes for the ordinary revolving propeller, by means of which the inventor has demonstrated a speed of 120 miles an hour without vibration or jar. Engines and Cars Smashed by Head- on Collision Reporting Cars On Collision Rounding Curve. Five trainmen were killed and two fatally injured in a collision on the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern Railroad between freight trains Nos. 51 and 98, twenty miles west of Seymour, Ind., near Fort Riton. On a sharp curve the trains met head-on, apparently because of a misunderstanding of orders. Engines and cars were smashed and their wreckage filled high. A relief train was sent, as soon as word of the wreck was received, but the injured suffered terribly from the cold before help came. Loses Life in Fire.

DO YOU NEED ANY SLIGHT ASSISTANCE IN HANDLING THAT BRUTE? MEXICO U.S. NICARAGUA BOWEN Rev. William Ritter's Body in Cellar, Woman's in Sitting Room. Rev. William Ritter and his aged wife were found murdered in their home, one-half mile east of Elnora, Ind., at 4 o'clock the other afternoon, and the entire county is aroused to a fever of excitement. The woman lay full length, on the floor of the sitting-room, her head toward the fireplace and her hair disheveled. She was in her bare feet, and had probably made ready to retire when the crime was committed. There are no marks upon her body, and many persons believe she was choked to death. The body of the aged minister was found at the foot of the stairway. He was lying in a heap, as if he had been thrown down the stairs. Both bodies were stiff, and there is no way of telling when the couple was slain. They were seen alive last Friday, when Milford Ketchum and his wife, who made their home with Mr. and Mrs. Ritter, left the house to go to Burns City to spend Christmas with Mrs. Ketchum's parents. They returned the other afternoon and found the minister and his wife dead. Apparently no attempt was made at robbery. Ritter, although well-to-do, owned 160 acres of the best land in Davleas County, never kept much money in his home, and what little there was in the house was not disturbed. The old couple have two children, John W. Ritter of Indianapolis and Mrs. Elizabeth Fisher of Elmora. BLOW ON HEAD MAKES CRIMINAL Theory Voted by Kausds City Judge in Parrolling Illinois Burglar. That Daniel J. Lavery, formerly a Chicago bricklayer, was transformed from an honest man into a criminal by a blow on the head is the belief of Judge Rajph S. Latschaw of the Criminal Court in Kansas City. The judge paroled Lavery to Charles Murray of an Illinois insane asylum after Lavery had been sentenced to four years in the penitentiary for a burglary. Lavery was sent twice to an Illinois institution for the insane, but was discharged, the second time about six months ago. Two years ago he was struck on the head with a stone and since then he seems to have had a different personality. It is understood that when he is returned to Illinois an operation will be performed on him.

The shooting occurred at the Hunt home. According to the police, Mackley, a railroader, who is said to have a wife and child in Mansfield, O., attempted to pay attentions to the girl and became enraged when he was repaired. He entered the Hunt home, and, declaring his intention of killing the family, drew a revolver and began shooting, it is alleged. After exhausting all the cartridges in his revolver Mackley is said to have reloaded, fired four more shots and fled. ENGINE CRASHES INTO DEPOT. St. Paul Falon Station Resembles Historic Site in the City of St. Paul Wreck caused by Explosion. The engine of a Great Northern freight train plunged through the baggage room at the union depot in St. Paul at 6 o'clock the other morning and brought up in the basement. The cars piled up on the tracks outside, a mass of tangled wreckage, high enough to split the roof of the train shed. Engineer La Clair jumped just before the engine struck the building. He was not hurt, and declared the brakes failed to stop the train. The hawk created by the wreck resembled that of a big explosion.

It was learned the other day that former President Jose Zelaya of Nicaragua has left Corinto on the Mexican gnboat Guerrero for Salina Cruz, Mexic. Zelaya's departure was very secret. Only a few of his most loyal friends knew that the former dictator of th country was about to board the Mexican gunboat. The ship left without eing molested by the United States officials. The United States has compromised with its original attitude toward former President Zelaya of Nicaragua. The news was general the othe day in the departments in Washington that this government had purposer interposed no objection to the flight of Zelaya from the anger of his ownpeople, and that this compromise was based on the assurance from Mexico and Nicaragua that Zelaya would go into perpetual exile.

Famous New York Philanthropist Succumbs to Angela Pectoris. D. O. Mills, the famous banker and philanthropist, died suddenly at his winter home at Millbrae, in San Mateo County, about twenty-five miles south of San Francisco. Death was due to angela pectoris and was not expected. Mr. Mills was born Sept. 25, 1825, in Salem, N. Y., of English descent, but his ancestors have been Americans since the middle of the eighteenth century. His first business venture was as a clerk when he was 17 years old. After he became of age he went to Buffalo, where he served as cashier of the Meruhan's Bank and formed other business connections. In 1843 Mr. Mills went to California, but soon abandoned gold digging for business in the new country. In less than six months he made $40,000 and decided to make that section of the country his home. He organized the bank of D. O. Mills & Co. in 1850, and was active in the Bank of California, retiring from its presidency in 1873. Two years later, however, when the bank was in danger, Mr. Mills returned as its head, reopened it and soon put it on a sound basis. He again retired in 1878, and moved to New York two years later, where he at once assumed a commanding figure in the financial world. The famous Mills Building at Broad and Wall streets was erected by him. He was director in several large corporations, and gave much to charity. Apart from his business career, Mr. Mills enjoyed a world-wide reputation as the founder of the Mills hotels for men. These hotels are supported by very low charges. He was married in 1854 in New York to Jane Templeton. Besides Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, Mr. and Mrs. Mills had a son, Ogden Mills, who is a well-known social and business figure. MONEY INSTITUTIONS COMBINE. Morgan Engineers Record Merger of Three Trust Companies. J. Pierpont Morgan, head of the money trust, accomplished another of his tremendous coups the other day, merging three New York trust companies into one of the greatest banking institutions in the country, a $200,000,000 assets concern, to be known as the Guaranty Trust Company. The companies concerned are the Morton Trust Company, the Fifth Avenue Trust Company and the Guaranty Trust Company. While not so officially announced, this merger is currently reported to have been brought about by Mr. Morgan purchasing the stock interests of Thomas F. Ryan and the Mutual Life Insurance Company. Two months ago he purchased the holdings of the late E. H. Harriman in the Guaranty Trust Company, so that he already had control of the central institution in this new consolidation. The merger marks the following out of a policy outlined some time ago for the consolidation of many of the large financial institutions of New York City and calls attention in the most forcible way to the dominant influence of the Morgan interests in the financial world. It marks the acquisition by Mr. Morgan and his associates of two financial institutions at one time controlled by other powerful interests, for the Guaranty Trust Company was dominated by the late E. H. Harriman and the Morton Trust Company was the headquarters of Thomas F. Ryan. WALL KILLS FOUR FIREMEN. Falling Debris of Factory Crushes Life Out of Milwaukee Fighters. Fire in the Milwaukee plant of the American Bridge Company the other night caused the death of four firemen who were buried under a falling wall, and a financial loss of about $250,000. It was at first thought that the entire engine company No. 4 had perished, and not until the debris had been removed was it determined that there were no other bodies in the ruins. Several firemen were injured and several suffered frost-bitten noses and ears while fighting the flames. The engine company which suffered all the casualties was first to arrive and took its station under the main wall of the factory, a long two-story brick structure. Without warning, the wall tettered and fell upon the men, and it was thought by the spectators that all of the members of the company met death. The fire was under control in an hour. The structure was nearly solid brick and the flames swept through rapidly, destroying the trusswork which knit the walls and roof together. WOMAN HALTS A LYNCHING. Rescues Victim Strang Up by Wisconsin Ice Cutters. Standing off an infuriated mob of 150 men with a shotgun, Mrs. Sarah Andell, wife of John Andell, a boarding-house keeper at Twin Lakes, in the western part of Kenosha County, Wisconsin, cut the rope with which Sam Roberts, cook-at an ice-cutting camp, had been swung to a rater in an icehouse, just in time to save the man from death by strangulation. The attempted lynching of Roberts came as the culmination of labor troubles. Following disturbances between union and non-union men employed at the camps o' the Knickerbocker ice Company of Chicago, in one of which Roberts was cook, a large number of employees were discharged. The discharged men gathered in a saloon and, when Roberts happened in, he was greeted with a cry of "Seah." Ptomaine Poison Kills Nine.

Binger Milligan, a Woman Hiram Tells His Nephew, "Henry," said Uncle Hiram to his hopeful young nephew, according to the New York Sun, "I would not ad- vise anybody to go around continually blowing his own horn. We tire of men who do that, and we are not to think of them that that's all they can do, blow. "On the other hand, Henry, never belittle yourself, never be self-deprer- ciatory. Don't have a poor opinion of yourself, but if you do have such an opinion don't express it. The man who blows his own horn may seldom be taken at his own valuation, but the self-depreciatory man almost invariably is. "No never run yourself down or speak doubtfully of your own ability. If the boss is thinking of advancing you and he should say to you some day, Henry, we are thinking of trying you on this thing. Do you think you could handle the job?" you don't want to say, "Well, I haven't had much experience yet in that way, and I really don't know whether I could do that or not." "You don't want to say anything like that, for if you do they'll be likely to think it over some more and end up by trying somebody else, taking a blower, maybe, who can't really do the work half as well as you could, but who's got self-confidence enough to say he can. "You don't know what you can do till you try. Some men try and fall, but an astonishing number rise to occasions, developing strength or ability that others might never have thought them to possess." THE FAMILY DOCTOR Shock is the term employed in surgery to designate the state of physical and mental depression which follows a severe injury or some disturbing emotion of the mind. The condition consists essentially in a want of equilibrium in the circulation, the arteries losing their tone, as a consequence of which the great mass of the blood accumulates in the veins, especially the large blood-vessels of the abdomen. The brain and other vital organs are deprived of the necessary blood supply, and are thereby rendered incapable of performing their important functions properly. Shock may exist in any degree, and the symptoms will vary accordingly, from the pallor and slight faintness which one may feel momentarily in making a misset, or when startled, as by a loud clap of thunder, or the receipt of bad news, all the way up to sudden stoppage of the heart, and death. In shock of average intensity, such as follows a severe injury, the face is pallid, the pulse is weak and rapid, the skin is cool and often covered with a clammy perspiration, the muscular system is relaxed, the sufferer is nauseated and sometimes vomits, and the mental faculties and sensibilities are benumbed so that no pain is felt, even though bones may be broken and flesh torn. Not only is the surface cool or cold, but the actual temperature of the body, as measured by the thermometer, is lowered, sometimes to the extent of two or three degrees. When shock depends upon a violent mental emotion, such as fear or the receipt of sudden bad news, or upon a severe injury, as that received in a railroad accident or when shot, the symptoms appear suddenly; but when it follows a surgical operation, its appearance may be delayed several hours. Its degree depends not only upon the severity of the injury, but likewise upon the seat of it. A blow on the abdomen will cause more severe shock than a much worse injury to an extremity, or oven to the head. Treatment of shock calls for the services of a physician, for it consists in the administration of powerful remedies to restore the tone in the relaxed blood-vessels, and often the injection of salt solution; but something can be done while awaiting the physician. The sufferer should not be moved; he should lie flat; he should have air, aid the usual crowd of the curious should be dispersed. The eyes should be shielded from the light. Hot cloths should be applied to the extremities and over the heart, and if he can swallow, he should be allowed to sip a little hot water. Stimulants should be given, if at all, in very moderate quantities. To Whom Honor is Due. As a pendant to the story of the professor who, upon being questioned on the witness-stand, declared that he was "the greatest living scientist," saying apologetically afterward that he "was on oath," comes the following anecdote from one of the New England colleges: Dr. H. had been unfolding to his class in physics a new and startling idea, and at the end of the explanation one of his students said, deferentially, "Is that your own theory, professor?" "No," the professor replied. "But," he added, reassuringly, "it's a good one." Easy. "You know Jones, who was reputed so rich? Well, he died the other day, and the only thing he left was an old Dutch clock." "Well there's one good thing about it. It won't be much trouble to wind up his estate."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. "When a girl's pocketbook looks fat bulky, you can but she has her thief chief in it. And lots of people are too slow to take friend friends."

JOHN JONES The death of Mrs. John Jones, Sunday last, at her home. 43 Ray street, removed another popular personage from our rapidly decreasing set of old inhabitants. Mrs. Jones, prominent always by reason of her husband's successful business career and her own charming personality, was loved and admired by every one. She was the widow of John Jones, the foremost colored business man in Illinois, in its early days. She reached the ripe age of 89 years with the full possession of all her faculties. She was born in Tennessee and came to Chicago with her husband about sixty years ago. The death of Mr. Lloyd G. Wheeler recently removed from this mundane sphere the head of another branch of the well-known Jones family. OPEN FOR BUSINESS OPEN FOR BUSINESS BINCA Banker & Brok Regarding my personal life. 1.
