Rumor reached our office that Dr. Mackey, 3812 Armour avenue, has been knocked down by a State street car, but our reporter went out to see if the statement was true, but he found the doctor out for a walk, and he said, "Why. I can shy from a car all right, and I am O. K., you can tell them all for me." K'S MRS. A. J. BELL MARRIED? Tuesday morning, while a reporter was wending his way on Wabash avenue, he noticed Mrs. A. J. Bell, 3600 Wabash avenue, and Mrs. Curtis moving quite fast to the railroad depot, and when, on inquiry at the ticket office, we found that their tickets were 'at for Crown Point, Ind. The cry is the one we were unhappy but when Mrs Mrs. Bell was 'thursday, she was so happy! 'three reporters will leave 'in Indiana and see if a 'led off.' Entertains at a Stag Dinner. Mr. David McGowan of 1899 Langley avenue entertained twenty-two gentlemen guests Saturday evening, February 26, at one of the most elaborate stag six-course dinners ever given in Chicago. The house was brilliantly illuminated and tastefully decorated for the occasion. Whist was the feature of the evening. There was a congeniality that permeated the affair that is seldom realized on such occasions. It finally leaked out that it was Mr. McGowan's thirty-third anniversary, but this was not verified until a miniature cake was brought in with forty candles on it. All present spent a delightful evening, and in one voice exclaimed: "May Mr. McGowan celebrate many such anniversaries." Those present were: Drs. D. H. Williams, A. W. Williams, G. C. Hall and A. L. Smith, Jos. Brent, Grey, Gray, R. Yerby, W. R. Cowan, Walter Farmer, D. R. Lawrence, Sam McGowan, Wm. Carroll, C. S. Washington, Edw. Shanklin, C. L. Cuffy, Prof. Wm. Emahuel, Col. John R.

PHILADELPHIA UNIONS VOTE GENERAL STRIKE Great Walkout in Sympathy with Car Forces Decided On by Labor Bodies. Clergy and Priesthood Speak for Arbitation and Urge That Children Be Kent Off Streets. --- Following a day of roting and bloodshed during which two persons were killed and a score more or less injured, organized labor of Philadelphia the other night decided to call a general strike of 125,000 men, the next Saturday in sympathy with the striking street car employees. Sympathetic action was decided upon at meetings of the Central Labor Union and the Building Trades' Council, both bodies holding that the future of organized labor in the Quaker City was at stake and the time had come to deal a decisive blow. The building trades unions, which met in a separate hall from the central labor body, favored having the general strike called on Tuesday, and the more conservative action of the other body was taken only after six hours of hot debate. The general strike, which every one fears will paralyze the city, was put off until Saturday in the hope that the Rapid Transit Company can in the meantime be brought to arbitrate at differences with its employees. From almost every pulpit in the city Sunday the cry went up for the street car company to submit to arbitration and end the struggle which is resulting in the daily loss of human life and the destruction of thousands of dollars' worth of property. In every Roman Catholic Church a letter was read from Archibishop Ryan urging parents to keep their children off the streets during the trouble, as much of the rotting has been started by young boys. For a day or so until this time there had been less rioting and the order of the director of public safety that wagons and vehicles of all kinds must stop carrying passengers had resulted in more Euras being run and in their being better patrolled. Citizens were beginning to breathe easier when the rioting broke out in more virulent, form than on any day since the strike began. The Action of the Lily White Preachers Fill the Negro Delegates with Disgust and They Leave Town. Denver, Colo., March 4—There is something like 3,000 countries here from all parts of the country for the purpose of a laymen's missionary movement. On Thursday night they were to have a great banquet and sixty Negroes 'accepted Invitations, and when this news spread over the town the white waiters' union declared a boycott. Rev. A. P. Jones, a white Congregational minister, and Rev. L. T. Thorn, a white Baptist preacher, in reviewing the situation in a secret session, called by the "Christ-likes," decided the white waiters did right. Before things went further the colored citizens of Denver marched down to the convention headquarters with 200 colored waiters and they were told that there could be no changes, as the contract could not be changed out of the 308 colored delegates. Two hundred and eight left the town and Mr. I. T. Perkins, of Kansas, was heard to say, "To hell with your Christian religion" and left the city. CREW MATING ON RAILROADS. To further race prejudice in America and now among the Negroes several of the leading railroads running into Chicago have adopted a system which no race of people on earth save the —— would stand for. In the case before us there are two brothers, one light, one dark. They have been in the habit of always working together. The superintendent of their road, speaking to the brothers who lodged a complaint about it, said: "Well, boys, it's like this. The presidents of the roads have decided to put all the blacks by themselves and all the yellows by themselves, as we thought the passengers would like it better; then, too, it keeps you fellows from showing off." With this they left the office and gave up their job. Now it is claimed that no sleeping car porter can be a light and no dining car waiter can be dark. The question now arrives, are these two shades of one race to stand for this, or will they unite and make a fight for treatment like men should have? Effect some kind of an organization whereby you can get proper respect and demand a place as a man among the men with whom you work. Keep your eyes open or you will be fighting more than you are now among yourself. THE RELIEF PHARMACY RE LIEVED OF ITS GAS. It does not pay to play with the gas man. This seems to have been the trouble with Dr. Prince and the man behind the gas pipe. Anyway, when a reporter passed there on Monday night and saw so many candles burning, he thought it was a shrine that the doctor had erected for the Lenten season, but it was not, and he soon found that the doctor had trouble, and for two days and nights the drug store was quarantined from gas light. Tuesday night the doctor was seen with a basketful of kerosene lamps which were used to advantage while a truce was being arranged with the gas company and the doctor, so that on Wednesday, when a reporter passed, he saw a dozen lamps and candles lying out in front of the door. The doctor smiled when he saw our reporter and said, "Well, I won, all right, and tonight I will have gas, and real gas at that." THE VOLUNTEER WORKERS Are Entertained by Mrs. Rachel Hawkins. When the reported for the Defender walked into 4440 Langley avenue on Wednesday evening and saw so many gentlemen in full dress and the ladies in evening dress, he at once thought of how Mr. Avendorph would feel to see it. But the Volunteer Workers know Mrs. Hawkins' style and therefore dress accordingly. This was really the greatest and most elaborate affair ever given on the South Side, and every one present spoke in praise of this most elaborate spread made by the hostess yearly as she is unable to be with the club in the afternoons. The papers by Mrs. Ida B. W. Barnett, Mrs. White, of St. Louis; Mrs. Louise McDonald, Mrs. E. L. Davis, and the talk of Hon. P. W. Johnson, was enjoyed. The duet by Mrs. Annelia C. Young and Miss Irene Mcsnaas was the talk of the evening. Miss Miller furnished the music for the evening. The charmingly dressed hostess was as the evening glory, for when she greeted you, you felt lifted up with that real balm of life that only she has, and when 125 guests bade her good-by for another year, though happy, they all said. Who could duplicate it? MIS 'ADELLE THOMPSON GRAD- ATES. At the Head of Her Class. Detroit, Mich., March 4.—In every avenue of life where a trade or profession can be obtained and the various races are struggling for supremacy there will be found a representative of the Afro-American race. The instance to which we refer is the 1900 graduating class of Madame Butler's beautifying parlor, located at No. 49 Broadway. Graduating in the art of dermatology with a class of ability as to workmanship was Miss Adelle Thompson, of Chicago. Standing second to no one in this class and proving to her tutor as well as to her patrons that she has thoroughly mastered the arts of this profession. Although not a Detroit girl, we for our race pride, wish to congratulate Miss Thompson on the showing she has made. We wish her every success and we are satisfied that she will make good. She has been retained by Madame Butler on her merits. Miss Thompson is a life long friend of Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Fitts, the publishers and printers, of her home town. THE ELKS' REST A DREAM We don't know where they got it, but there must have been several barrels full of real dough, for the Brussels carpet on the floor, the mission in all the rooms and the beautiful decorations all show the expenditure of large hunks of money. But it is a dream; Mr. Felix Paskett, the custodian, is well pleased with his newly appointed home and says ex-R., M. Bibb, has done more to the uplift of the order than any ruler in six years. The reception to the ladies on Thursday evening was a grand success. THE APPOMATTOX CLUB MUST ACT. Concerted action is far better than individual, therefore, the citizens along with the Chicago Defender, call on the Appomattox Club with its representative men to have the Mount Hope Cemetery's ad which is displayed in the State street cars and elsewhere to be taken down. Over 100 telephone calls has reached our office and strange to say, from our women who feel that this cemetery company is trying to incite riot. The ladies say if the men do not act they will, by pulling down the signs. We hope this will not be done. We believe the mayor will act if the fact is brought to his notice. So get busy, and that quick RAMBLING ABOUT CHICAGO Items of Interest All Around the Town, and a Line or Two Elsewhere. BY THE RAMPLEE Over on Prairie avenue an osteopathic physician announces that he is in the business for "white patients only." In the State street cars the Mount Hope Cemetery Company tells the public in the longest kind of display type that their grounds "are exclusively for the white race." Add to this the word of the advance agent that "the Nigger" will be the offering at one of our popular playhouses shortly, and you can judge how the writer feels occasionally while rambling about Chicago. In the case of the "Q. P," it is said in conservative medical circles that the doctors, "O. P.'s." "C. S.'s," or any other kind, who display such large signs don't amount to much, so there is not much lost. As to the stockholders of the Mount Hope Company, we can only say that there are others. The "Silent City of the Dead," prominent in print nowadays owing to the fight for the almighty dollar, is too sacred for foolish argument. Then you know we are interested in a cemetery or two of our own. When you are entitled to a place in Mount Hope or any other burying place color, social prestige, wealth and everything else is left behind. In this day of sudden financial wreck, crash or embarrassment, if you want to use that polite term, the high muckamucks of Mount Hope may find final resting place among the people whom they now reject. The play called "The Nigger" had a short run in New York. The colored citizens made complaint about it, and are responsible for its brief stay along the Great White Way. In Chicago this vicious affront to the race will receive the same vigorous treatment that was accorded "The Clansman," for if you will remember none of the best critics of the other race took that brainstorm seriously. PETER OGDEN LOOKED LIKE THIRTY CENTS. If old Pete Ogden had blown in on March 1 at the Institutional Church and asked for Geo. T. Kersey, P. G. M., Col. R. F. Ratcliffe, Doria Byrd, Maj. J. C. Buckner, Master E. H. Morris and Master W. L. Houston, the only answer that would be given is that the boys did not blow in to the celebration because it was gotten up through the pipe, and they would not attend. Anyway, Mr. Chas. A. Griffin was all smiles for the large crowd that came to create with them, the founder of rder. COMMERCE COMMISSION ROBS NEGROES OF SOUTH Opinion on Southern Rates—Commerce Commission Hands Down a Ruling Affecting Charges from Chicago to Dixie Points. Washington, D.C., Feb. 12, 2015—Special! The Interstate Commerce Commission shows its opinion to day in the Montgomery county case, involving rates from Chicago and the various the West to Montgomery, Ala. The commission is not unlawful for railroads to charge higher rates in Montgomery than to Pensacola and Moulle, but that no such rate should be higher than the rates of rates of Mobile. On rates to Montgomery, the way of Mobile, period with those to Birmingham, the entitled to a lower rate from Montgomery to a lower rate from Chicago and Mississippi River points than is Montgomery. The case has been before the commission since October, 1988. Many of the citizens of Chicago are wondering how the Interstate Commerce Commission can draw such a fine distinction in the form of rates for freight and when it comes down to an American citizen of color traveling from one State to the other they are made to pay the highest rate for the same distance and to ride in cars that Armour & Co. would not allow a shipment of hogs to come in, nor would our gracious government permit them to come thus. Read the foregoing paragraph and look at the nicely of the point and then turn to the various outages on Negro passengers. Do you blame one from thinking guns? KEEP A COLORED MAN IN THE LEGISLATURE. The death knell for the advance of the Negro has been sounded by the Southern society (white), who have formed a perpetual organization to work for the overthrow of the Negroes in Illinois. During the last Legislature eight bills were presented which has for its object the separation of the races in the State, but it happened that our own Dr. Lane was sentimental for his people and gave the warning shot which routed the Southern rebels. When this was told to a reporter he called on the doctor to see if the statements were true, and he said in part: "Well, I have nothing much to say, but you can tell the Negroes of Chicago and the State that if they do not keep a man of their own race in Springfield they will ever regret it. We wonder if you are going to lapse into barbarism or we wonder if you will fight for your rights, as did the Irish in the House of Commons. The rising and unborn generations demand your stand, and if you do not they, like our forefathers, will be reduced to slavery." THE MERADITH SISTERS BUY FLAT BUILDING. In use thirty-fourth block on Prairie avenue a beautiful flat building now is in the possession of the Misses Pearl and Carrie Meridiah. These young ladies are doing what very few actors are doing, providing a home for themselves in their old age and a source of income at the same time. They both say that they have been every where and seen everything, and after counting the cost, Chichico is the town for anyone to make their home, therefore they bought here, where all great things are. MR. JAS. EARLY Tears Out of His Own Home. On Wednesday evening a man came running up Wabash avenue, hat in hand, and all out of breath, with a parrot after him, which caused a reporter to shy when they got near him. Before he could come to his senses the parrot said, "Why didn't you stop him?" Why who could have stopped him? He was running sidewise to keep from running into the lamp-post as he turned the corner. But after the parrot explained the situation our reporter got hot onto his heels and caught him easily at 35th and Grand boulevard, and explained to him that the parrot he heard was only Mr. B. F. Parrotte, who was master of ceremonies to a surprise birthday party given in his honor. So he consented to return home and there he found Mrs. McDougal, Mr. and Mrs. Roche, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Bacon, Mr. Chas, Baker, St. Joseph, Mo.; Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy and Miss Boston, The Home, 3712 Wabash avenue, and mother and daughter, Mrs. Jas Earle and Blanche, looked a dream. The whole party was a success and Papa Early received many beautiful presents. The lunch was served in beautiful style and everyone present seemed to have enjoyed the joke on Mr. Early, for while they sat at the table volleys after volleys of laughter would arise.

Cotton, after serving in the capacity of head timekeeper for Armour & Co., general offices U. S. Y., for over twelve years, resigned that position two weeks ago to start farming and stock raising in the wheat belt of northwest Kansas. His resignation and future plans were a surprise to both the company and his many friends, who feel that they lose such a good man and friend. Last fall Mr. Cotton, together with Mr. W. P. Smith of St. Louis, spent their vacation in that part of the country and were so impressed with the prosperity of the farmers that they decided to invest on the spot. And the result is a beginning of a half section, 229 acres, of the best cultivated soil. Mr. Cotton left for that point the latter part of last week and will be joined later by his devoted wife, who stays behind to complete the education of her god-child, Miss Marietta B. Smith. They are residing with Mr. and Mrs. Henry Young, 4944 Wentworth avenue, 2d flat. HARDING AND MONTGOMERY ARE WINERS. Mr. J. H. Montgomery and Robert H. Harding, our new aldermen, are the choice of the people, which was shown by the primaries of this week. We must have them by all means. Get busy for the election in April and land these gentlemen for a clean city and beautiful streets. HUNDREDS LOSE LIVES IN IDAHO AVALANCHE Snowslides That Destroy Property and People Started by Chineck Winds and Warm Rains. --- Sixty lives have been lost, it is feared, in two great snowslides which brought dismay to the aiming towns of the rich Coeur d'Alene district in Northern Idaho. At 10:35 o'clock the other night a snowslide swept down the mountain, striking the little town of Mace and burying twenty-five houses and their sleeping occupants in a mass of canyon. At 5:30 a.m. the next day, another slide rushed down on the town of Burke, crushing a score of houses under thousands of tons of earth and snow. There is fear that the number of dead at Burke may be even larger than that at Mace. Because of the larger population of Burke, about 900, the houses were closer together. Mothers hauled their children to the side hills; brothers dragged little sisters to places of safety, and when the slide struck many of the homes were deserted by fear-striken women and children, while the bread providers were rescued injured at the surkleen sister town. Old-timers in the Coeur d'Alene district had been sounding daily warnings to Mace, Burke and Black Bear that because of the record depth of the snow, slides were imminent. For sixteen winters these towns have escaped devastating slides and so strong had the confidence of the miner residents been that their homes and families were safe that no precautions had been taken. The little mining town of Mace lies between precipitous mountain sides, a straggling line of cottages in the creek bottoms, bisected by the lines of the Northern Pacific and Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company. Its one industry is mining and its big mine is the Standard. With scarce a dividing line perceptible the towns of Black Bear, Gem, Mace and Burke form a long string of houses for six miles. Mace is divided into two parts, known as Upper and Lower Mace, respectively. The catastrophe occurred in Lower Mace, where dwelt about 300 miners employed in the Standard miles. Most of these men were unmarried and lived in the Hotel Standard. Reports are that this hotel was in the path of the avalanche. Though first reports of the disaster were that the town of Gem, Idaho, a mile above Mace on the same side of the canyon, had been overhit, later news indicates that the town escaped. The slids was half a mile long and thirty feet deep. Thirty-five Italians, sleeping in an outfit car on the Northern Pacific sliding, who were swept away with their car in the bottom of the canyon, used the tools in their car to dig themselves out. Chinook winds and warm rains started the Burke snowslide, which increased in velocity with every foot down the mountain until it gained such headway and force that only blinding mist and a roaring warned the score families of miners of its approach. 'ace trams were crushed, and twil 'Cubbing were 'punt to atoms. If You See It in the DEFENDER, IT'S SO!

URGES YOUNGER NAVY. Taft Asks Congress to Permit Officers' Earliest Promotion. The need of young blood in the commands of the navy was the keynote of a special message which President Taft the other day sent to Congress urging legislation for improving the personnel of the fighting force and for remedying what the President termed "an abnormal condition, the result of past legislation." Under conditions now existing, the President declared, the promotion of officers of the lower grades is stagnated, to the great detriment of the service and the country, and because nearly every officer who retains his is allowed to pass through the grades and be retired as rear the greater number of comma officers have had inadequate ex Under the existing system now being trained in the con battle ships and armored cruisers not serve as flag officers on ac of their short time on the activ after reaching that grade.

FALL 200 FEET INTO A GULCH Coaches in Twisted Debris at Mountain's Base—Transcontinental Lines Suffer. Conditions almost unprecedented in that section have virtually cut off the entire northwest, and have tied up traffic on half a dozen transcontinental railroads. Thaws in the mountains have caused avalanches and snow slides that have swept away mountain towns and sections of railroad tracks from Nevada to British Columbia. Floods also have caused widespread damage. In the Cascade mountains in Washington two Great Northern trains were buried by an avalanche. Twenty bodies were recovered and scores are injured or missing. The exact number of deaths caused by avalanches in the Rockies, in Idaho, and in western Montana probably will not be known until the summer sun melts the great masses of snow and ice in the canon into which several mining towns were swept. Further details of the disaster in which an avalanche swept two Great Northern passenger trains and a part of the town of Wellington, Wash., down the mountainside at the west portal of the Cascade tunnel shows it to be more serious than first reported. Twenty-three lives are known to have been lost when the mass of snow, stones and uprooted trees hurled the cars containing seventy sleeping persons over the narrow ledge to the bottom of the canyon 200 feet below, and twenty-five more were reported missing. Besides these a score were injured. The avalanche rolled down the mountain at 4:30 a.m. The two trains, three locomotives, four powerful electric motors, the depot and water tank were swept off the ledge and deposited in a twisted mass of wreckage at the foot of the mountain. The noise from the snowslide, which was a mile long, could be heard throughout the valley. The wrecked trains lie piled on top of each other 200 feet below the sliding on which they stood when the avalanche swept over them. The cars were crushed into kindling wood and no one in the train escaped injury. The slide filled the shelf on which the tracks at Wellington are laid and rolled over the edge into the valley. Messages telling of the disaster were sent to Everett and a relief train, hearing physicians, nurses and workers, was made up and dispatched. Owing to previous slides which blocked the road and swept away parts of the track, the rescue train could get no further than Scenic, whence the rescuers had to make their way on foot over the snow. In the later wreck of Oriental limited train No. 2, east bound, on the Great Northern, one person was killed and twelve were injured. The entire train escaped plunging down a fifty-foot embankment near Milan by a narrow margin. It carried 175 passengers. As the train was rounding a curve the engineer, Alonzo Carle, of Spokane, saw a great mass of bowlers blocking the way. Carle throw on the emergency brakes twenty-five feet before the train ran into the rocks. When the train struck the mass gas tanks in the cars exploded. Fire started immediately in five of the forward cars and they began to topple over the embankment. Conductor B. S. Robertson ran forward and uncoupled the last three cars, saving them. The exact number of dead in all the disasters will not be known for weeks, not until the snow, which is over forty feet deep in the canyon, has melted. Workmen digging in the snow and wreckage report finding dismembered bodies, severed arms and hands. Four transcontinental lines into Washington and Oregon are blocked. Only one railroad is operating into Salt Lake City. West of Utah the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific lines have been cut by swollen mountain streams. TRAMP SAVES CHILD'S LIFE Rancher Traces Man Who Pulled Girl from In Front of Teen GIRL FROM IN FRONT OF TRAIN. Frank Strome a few days ago was a tramp beating his way westward on a freight train with El Paso as his destination. To-day he owns a half interest in the Valvedere cattle range, said to be valued at nearly $1,000,000, with its 30,000 head of cattle and 100 square miles of land in Jeff Davis and Pecos counties in Texas. The range is owned by Samuel W. Jennings, reputed to be worth several millions. A few days ago the 7-year-old daughter of Jennings was crossing the railroad track. A train was bearing down on her and she seemed doomed, when Strome grabbed her and pulled her from the track. Strome went on his way, but persons who witnessed the rescue reported the matter, and three days ago he was located by Jennings and taken to the ranch. A day or two later a deed was filed transferring a half interest in the property to the girl's rescuer. GARY PERILED BY FIRE. Firemen Are Hurt and $100,000 Long Guarded by Blase. More than thirty lives were saved, several firemen were injured, and property loss of nearly $100,000 resulted from a blaze in Gary, Ind., when the Ohio building burned. The entire town was threatened with destruction and appeal was made to the Chicago department for aid. It was the worst fire in the Steel City since it was founded the fire is supposed to have been secondary origin. EFFECTS OF A SNOWSLIDE IN THE MOUNTAINS. EIGHTY IN PERIL ON FLYER. Twentieth Century Limited, Bound to Chicago, Derailed. For a reason not let determined, the west-bound Twentieth Century limited on the Lake Shore Railroad was detailed at Olmsted Falls, 20 miles west of Cleveland, the other day. The train was running at a speed of sixty miles an hour. Two or three passengers whose names have not yet been learned were only slightly injured. The train was running as a double-header and had a straight track. All the seven cars were derailed, but were not thrown more than a few inches from the tracks. Neither locomotive was derailed. Five hundred or 600 feet of track was torn up. There were probably eighty passengers aboard the train, which was due in Chicago at 9:30 a.m. A second train was made up at Cleveland and sent to the scene of the wreck. The passengers were taken aboard this train and sent to their destination. TOWNS IN OHIO INUNDATED Thousands in Distress, Traffic Impeded, Business Demoralized. Fully a thousand people homeless, other thousands living on the second floors of their homes, traffic impeded and business demoralized in many places, is the situation in Ohio as the result of the floods. A bridge was washed away at Defiance. Mechanicsburg is still under water. Boats only can be used in the greater part of Warren, where the Mahoning is on a rampage. Water is creeping upon the business section of Napoleon, and the Cuyahoga River has inundated Clinton and Warwick. Rain is still falling in the southern part of the State, which will add to the flood in the Ohio River valley. At Zanesville several hundred families have been driven from their homes and the suffering is acute. At Fremont great danger still lurks about the gorged Sandusky River. TRAIN ROLLS INTO RIVER Two Dead and One Missing in Pennsylvania Wreck. One man was instantly killed, one died, another is unaccounted for and believed to be dead, and nearly a score of others had narrow escapes when the Linesville passenger train of the Pennsylvania Railroad jumped the track at Rock Point Park, Newcastle, Pa., and plunged down a fifteen-foot embankment into the ice-filled Beaver River. The engineer and fireman of the train were carried into the river with the locomotive and were rescued by means of a long hose. PIERRE, S. D., ADOPTS REFORMS, Indorces Commission Form of Government by Majority of 215. Pierre, S. D., adopted the commission form of government the other day by a majority of 215. The new plan was generally favored by the business interests. At a special election Dell Rapids, S. D., adopted the commission plan of government by an overwhelming majority. The voters of Mitchell, in the same State, defeated the commission form of government by a majority of 336. Every ward in the city went against the proposition. Not Gullity of Timber Fraud. William F. Kettenbach, George H. Kester and William Dwyer, whose trial on a charge of conspiracy to defraud the government of valuable timber lands was concluded in Boise, Idaho, were found not guilty by the jury. Boy Punished: Found Dead For some fault 10-year-old Gerald Guinness of Providence, R. I., was locked in a room by his mother, Mrs. W. H.

Minnesota Taken on Charge of Sniper (Judge) Sending Girl Poisoned Candy. Loe Radtike, a bachelor, 30 years old, was arrested on his farm north of Litchfield, Minn., by Sheriff Bertelson, of Meeker County, and is now held in the county jail on a charge of attempting to poison Miss Minnie Luthens, 20 years old, his former sweetheart, who is soon to marry another man. The poison is alleged to have been found in a box of bonbons sent as a wedding present to Miss Luthens, who will be married to Frank Wurdell soon. It is alleged that Radtike once vowed before Miss Luthens that she would never marry any man but him. A part of the candy, when it was received by Miss Luthens, was fed to a dog, which immediately died, it is alleged. Dr. Sheppard, of Hutchinson, then sent the rest of the candy to the State University in St. Paul and received a report claiming that it contained quantities of strychnine. PLOT WRECK AND LOOT. Boys Open Switch with Iden of Robbing Victims' Bodies. The arrest of George Lenko, aged 10 years; Stephen Yoski, 14 years; Edward Gydooski, 12; Andrew Milken, 12, and Arthur Gydooski, 19, revealed the attempt of these youngsters to wreck the early New Haven Railroad train leaving New York shortly after noon, for the purpose, as they confessed, of looting the bodies of the dead and injured. They got so far as to open the switch near the cast Port Chester (Conn.) freight yard. A switchman happened to see them and closed it in time to avert an accident. The boys admitted that they were regular attendants at moving picture shows in Port Chester and had acquired some of their ideas of outlawry from the melodramatic scenes of the "canned drama." FROM THE FOREIGN LANDS The German emperor a ministry of war have decided to introduce the aeroplane in some form into the regular army equipment, with the intention of attaching a flying corps to every regiment. It is learned on excellent authority that the emperor of Germany intends to go for a cruise in the Mediterranean as soon as the season is over, but it is not likely that Greece will be visited this year. The empress may go again to Abbazia with her daughter and one of her sons for a week or two. At Des Moines, Iowa, the court room at the police station was recently turned into a church, and a service was conducted by the Rev. J. Calfee, an evangelist, who took the judge's usual place and preached a sermon to the entire night shift of the Des Moines police force. One convert was made. Serious affrays between the police and thousands of Socialists occurred in Berlin and other cities of Germany when the Socialists held meetings and marched in the streets to protest against the proposed franchise bill of the government. The police used their sabers in dispersing the marchers, who in some places made a show of resistance by throwing stones and other missiles. Many were wounded on both sides before the police, with the aid of soldiery, were able to repress the demonstrations. The new premier of Spain is Jose Canalejas Mendes, who was called by King Alfonso to head the liberal government and who boasts of being the most radical of monarchists. In his first public sentiment he says he believes in acts rather than words, and will submit definite reforms shortly. A plot has been discovered in India implicating a number of native soldiers wearing the king's uniform. Orders had been issued to the Bengalese marshal to remove oristic mass meetings and the police at the Punjab province now hire full authority to use their firearm the slightest provocation. Six Leading Companies Also in Net of Grand Jury. Twenty-one officials of the so-called meat trust and six of the leading packing companies of the country were indicted by the Hudson County grand jury in Jersey City. The indictments are the outcome of the exhaustive investigation which the grand jury has conducted for the last month into an alleged conspiracy to maintain the prices of food at an exorbitant figure. The men indicted are the leaders in the business coterie that controls the country's output of meat. Some of them are many times millionaires and men whose names are known throughout the world. For the most part they are residents of Chicago, the center of the meat packing industry of the United States. The indicted men are: F. A. Fowler Charles H. Swift L. H. Heyman J. E. Bathgate, Jr Geo. J. Edwards F. B. Cooper D. E. Hartwell Ira N. Morris H. H. Darlington L. C. Patterson A. A. Fuller ted are: Hammond Packing Company G. H. Hammond Company Packing Company Armour & Co. Swift & Co. Morris & Co. The indictments charge the packers with "willfully, unlawfully and feloniously devising, contriving and intending for their own excessive, immoral and unlawful profit and gain, to injure, degrade, prejudice, damage and oppress the public and people of said city and said county of Hudson." Evidences of conspiracy are mentioned in the indictment to the effect that the defendants agreed upon their unjust and extortionate prices and purposefully restricted the supply so that only a limited amount could reach the establishments in Jersey City. There were witnesses before the inquisitors. It was learned, who testified that there was a systematic method by means of which each company was to send east only a limited number of cars. HOGS REACH THE HIGH RECORD Lots of 48, sold at $10 a 100, Averaging $26.40 for Each. Hogs reached the high record of $10 per 100 pounds, the other day in the Chicago market, while $10.05 was paid in Indianapolis and $9.85 in St. Louis. The price equals the mark set in 1870 and only the war price of $13.25 paid in 1865 remains to be broken. The winter packing season, which closed the other day, is expected to show a shortage of 2,700,000 hogs compared with the corresponding four months a year ago. When hogs reached $8 in the Chicago stockyards it was expected a big rush would follow, but it failed to materialize. The same held good when the price advanced to $9, and the trade is anxiously awaiting to see the effect on the country of $10 hogs. Georria Possie Lynchens Negro. C. H.

Williams of the legislative food probe committee said letters received by him indicated that many of the big concerns dealing in foods attempt to evade the operations of the Valentine anti-trust law by appointing wholesalers and retailers as their agents to dispose of their products. Senator Williams said the system enables manufacturers to dictate both wholesale and retail prices and prevents retailers buying direct from manufacturers, thereby injecting an extra middleman in all cases. If the food probers find this it not a law violation they will introduce bills to prohibit and also seek to end the alleged dictation of prices. CONFESSES A BANK ROBBERY. Suspect in Kansas Case Implicates Four Others. One a Youth. Four others, one in fourth. J. Bear, one of the two men in custody in Hutchinson, Kan., charged with being implicated in the robbery of a bank at Ford, Kan., is reported by the sheriff to have confessed to his participation in the affair. According to Sheriff Bell, Bear, in his statement, implicated four other men in the crime. One of them, Earl Maw, the 18-year-old chauffeur who drove the robbers to the bank in a motor car, is already in custody, and the arrest of the others is expected hourly. Bear is said to have admitted he was one of the ringleaders in the planning of the crime, but says he was in Oklahoma at the time of the robbery. PERCY IS MISSISSIPPI SENATOR. Long Deadlock on Successor to Lato U. S. Senator McLaurin Broken. Le Roy Percy, of Greenville, one of the most brilliant lawyers in Mississippi, was elected United States Senator from the State of Mississippi to fill out the unexpired term of A. J. McLaurin, who died Dec. 23. The election was on the 58th ballot by the legislative caucus and after a deadlock that had continued since Jan. 4 with one or two ballots nearly every day. When the result of the ballot was announced there was a scene of wildest confusion. The vote was: Percy, 87; Vardaman, 82. Snow Hides Light; Train Wrecked. Unable to see the danger signal on account of a raging snow storm, an east-bound Northern Pacific passenger train ran into a stalled west-bound freight train one mile east of Stewartsdale, N.

Robinson and daughter, who are both powerful in preaching and singing the gospel. A glorious time is being had by both saint and sinner. Madam Delilah Thomas of New York, who is the leading soprano singer in the new choir, fairly captivated the audience last Sunday morning at Zion Church, while the pastor preached most eloquently from the text, "Grow in grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ." It was regarded by all as one of his ablest sermons for which he is famous in preaching. The choir is now rehearsing for a cantata to take place Thursday after Easter. Mrs. Ida M. Beecher is sparing no pains to make the Zion choir the leading choir of the city. The rally has been set for the fourth Sunday in April, at which time the bishop is expected to be present. F. A.

Among the patients in a certain hospital of Harrisburg there was recently one disposed to take a dark view of his chances for recovery. "Cheer up, old man!" admonished the youthful medico attached to the ward where in the patient lay. "Your symptoms are identical with those of my own case four years ago. I was just as sick as you are. Look at me now!" The patient ran his eyes over the physician's stalwart frame. "What doctor did you have?" he finally asked, feebly.

Those who work under him always say that he is "fair" and that is saying a whole lot. Mr. Harvey has had many years of experience as head waiter.

ELITE FACE CREAM. For Cleaning and Purifying the Skin There Is Nothing Like It Under the Sun. Its great affinity for all soaps and its power for taking up and neutralizing the harmful elements that exist in all soaps are unsupassed by anything known to the chemical world. The alkali is taken up by some of the properties of the cream, forming a new compound called cream soapole. This newly formed compound electrifies and purifies the skin; removing every trace of grease, paint, varnish, or any foreign elements, leaving the skin in perfect condition, pure and white. This makes possible the arterial circulation which brings the desired nutrition to the very outer layer of the skin.

No man is his own master until he sees the obligation to serve others. matter, it seems to be siderably worked up because of the prices which will be charged for kets and funeral services owing to a common sense economical business methods of the Western Casket and Undertaking Company. This concern, which manufacturers all of its own goods in its own factory, is distributing them through its own local stores. This is revolutionizing the methods that have prevailed for decades in the undertaking business. The Emblamers' Monthly, one of the official organs of the undertakers, makes the following comments on this new venture which has so keenly aroused the public: There is no denying that they are going about the work of molding public opinion in a very skillful and systematic manner. This advertising is primarily based on the price of products, and they cleverly warded and carefully thought they have evidently secured some good professional advertising service, and are starting a well planned campaign of publicity. Whether the undertaking business can ever be established on a basis of price is to be demonstrated, but that the concern is not being given to advertising about it in a thorough manner there can be little doubt. If they do nothing else they will show the cut price advertisers how to advertise on a cut price basis to customers. Indeed, this class of advertising is calculated to hurt nobody's business so much as that of the cut price undertaker. In its editorial section the same publication admits that it may possibly be the fault of undertakers to place the burden of the total expense of the funeral on the casket, for it says: This departure emphasizes the folly of the old method of mucking the casket bear the burden. This has indeed been the foundation of the charge. Casket prices sometimes made against the undertaker. Casket prices may be commercialized, but personal and professional service cannot. If this new undertaking provides a belligerent of the necessity of a better division of charges between the casket and the professional service, it will not be an altogether unmixed evil. A person is naturally reluctant about thinking that some day he will have to of necessity engage in a transaction with an undertaker. It is a thought most of us hold as far away as possible. It is this very lack of thought that enables undertakers to charge an exorbitant price. If men and women were posted on this subject the same as they are in other things that they purchase, then the possibility of exorbitant charges would be remote. It is reported by Mr. D. S. Sattler, president and treasurer of the Western Casket and Undertaking Company, that many people have taken advantage of their services and that he is 'n receipt of many letters from welfare-workers commending and wishing him success in the work he is now doing. Mr. W. E. Gerry, vice president and general manager of the Western Casket and Undertaking Company, said that he was perfectly satisfied with the progress made and that he looks forward to the hearty endorsement of the people as soon as they fully understand the principles upon which they are working. It is understood that the Western Casket and Undertaking Company have received letters from undertakers in all sections of the country urging them to come to their respective cities and they would cooperate with them and work on the same plan that they have been following in Chicago. It would undoubtedly be to the interest of the people if there were fewer undertakers in Chicago, because each would in consequence charge much lower prices.—From Inter Ocean, Sunday, Feb. 20, 1910.

Attending to your own busin is about the most effective method form. The average man seems to lessens his dignity to admit the most common fact. The average friendship ends in this: How much I did for him; how little he did for me. The world is also improving in this respect: fewer barbers call themselves tonorial artists. When a little girl does not care for the boys, ever notice how proud her mother is of her? One trouble with the man who takes his time is that he also takes the time of others. We wouldn't care to have the reputation of saying meaner things than any other living man. When we are finally sent to the insane asylum, either airships or the Panama canal will be responsible. When a woman smiles at her husband's jokes it is the same kind of a forced smile you see on the stage. When we are bothered a good deal by bores, we like to hunt up agreeable men, and bore them by complaining. A man can't half work and half play; he must either be a hard worker and a success, or a poor worker and a failure. "My cow is becoming so poor, and feed is so high," said a man the other day, "that I am half tempted to drive her on the railroad track." Money makes fools of some men, while the lack of money has a similar effect on others; there is never any danger of a shortage of the fool crop. Corporations are robbed and blackmailed every day, in the most cruel manner possible, by men who claim to be shocked at the immorality of the corporations. THINGS WORTH KNOWING Advertisements first appeared in newspapers in 1652. Romania has 6,000,000 inhabitants, of whom 30,000 are blind. Coolies in Borneo are indentured at $18 to $36 a year, with board and clothing.

While actors are busy discussing what should be said of an actor's public life or what should not be mentioned after his death, they might better be applying their time to individual preparations of making history for themselves which would add to the benefit of the profession and the race in general. To say that an actor was not totally original, after his death, is of no particular importance except to disturb the vanity of a few ignorant actors who need teaching, who have been taught in vain for several years by competent traditional criticism to no avail. Actors should be satisfied to see that the private lives of noted colored professionals have thus far been omitted by the writer. But there are things which happen in public men's lives that are often reviewed for the good of others. If a public man openly threatens another public man by publishing it in a newspaper for no cause except public criticism of his work it is always best for the safety of others to follow out the threat and its danger to both parties, to its end. The safety of society and mankind in general can only be assured by complete exposure of such actors, whether thoughtlessly enacted or not. America is a country of free speech and surely editors and authors are not to be assassinated or even injured just to carry out the grudges of men who have public occupations as stage performers. The best thing that colored actors of limited mental capacity can do is to try to treat all newspaper men with as much respect as newspaper men personally treat them, especially actors who are haphazards and unreliable. For a newspaper man to call the hand of a haphazard actor who has been detected as a bunee steerer is an awful blow to the respectable actors of Chicago, and while there is mercy the actors must speedily run such men out of the show business before the hour grows late. If colored newspaper men are not assured of their public safety who are identified by their signature, there would be nothing left to do but to place the names of one or two low grade actors on the list of the detective's department of the city. There are a few other features about some colored managers and actors that I am bound to comment upon as men in this class of life can never win public applause by boldly asserting and doing things that are indiscreet in their dealings with men who are known to be practically intelligent and of recognized characters and of reliable standing among men and with the public. In a theatrical review last week in a colored newspaper there appeared a little comment on the Monogram Theater, which spoke of that house being in the slumming district, when in truth that house is in the best locality on State street and the same class of people go there that go to the Grand and the Pekin Theaters and the source from which that news originated is no credit at all to the well known parties who wrote it and submitted it. But here is a real bit of important news that will interest the public the most. People in Chicago will remember that I criticised the Pekin Theater box office system in the Freeman last season and with no evil intent, but with all the good will in the world toward Manager Motts, which I still retain, but am told that he does not. Twice I was taken to the Pekin Theater with a friend who bought two seats in a box. All the seats were full and we had to stand up both times. The last time I handed the coupons back to the young man who seats people in the balcony boxes. He took them and told me to "go see Motts." I am seeing Mr. Motts now for the benefit of the public and have a right to do so without any threats or danger of being buncoed in any part of the public Pekin house. It is hinted that white men are negotiating for the Pekin and that another new theater is to be built and in all these coming changes the colored people of Chicago must have new reforms and new men of private, public and newspaper life must rise up to challenge defects and regulate the evils. MISS MAUD ROBERTS PROMOTED.
