MOTHERS TAKING INNOCENT DAUGHTERS TO HOUSES OF ILL FAME MOTHERS TAKING INNOCENT DAUGHTERS TO HOUSES OF ILL FAME TO PLAY PIANO. Still Our Christians' Cry of White Slave Is Heard in the Community—What About the Black Ones? On Sunday morning while you are preparing to go to give thanks to God for His risen Son, and while many an organ is pealing forth sweet strains of music to thousands of devout worshipers, in the homes of 500 or more, there are colored girls ranging from 14 to 19 years, counting out money made even night, for playing the piano in over night for playing the piano in houses of ill-fame in the entire red light district of Chicago. There is not one word to be spoken against this great evil. Every sermon for to-morrow (Easter) has only one object—Easter; every worshiper on to-morrow has the one object—dress. But the souls to whom our churches have spent weeks in trying to save are taken by their own mothers to the homes of harlots to be lowered to the lowest depth of degradation, and this same mother is offering this girl to society for your sons to marry and daughters to sit and chat with at your private hearthside. The police department, it is said, through the pull of white men of means, removed all the colored men piano players because the white girls in these places thought too well of them; therefore the colored girls. The various white churches throughout the city with their women's organizations, have fought to keep white girls out and have won; there is no one to speak for the "black slave," driven by its mother into houses of vice to spread vice and disease among thousands of innocent girls and boys with whom they come in contact. How can you celebrate Easter with this condition? If you don't believe, "come and see where she has layed her." Let anyone who is interested in the welfare of our women stand at 7:20a and State, or 21st and State, or at Archer and State, or at Armour avenue, any evening from 6:30 to 8:00 and see deprived mothers offering their daughters up on the altar of Baal for gold. Are our women societies like the Phyllis Wheatley Club, going to sit idly by and let womanhood be trampled under foot, or are they going to join hands in the holy war of the protection of the "unknown" black slave? MR. A. W. BURNETT. MANUFACTURER, IN CITY. Did you notice a very polite looking gentleman, with long hair, light or cream-colored Fedora and cravenete overcoat walking down State street at most any old time; well, we have him. It was Mr. Burnett, of English Lake, Ind., a manufacturer, with a factory in Ober, Ind., as well as his home town, known as the Tippecanoe Stave Mills, slack cooperage stock and hardwood number. Mr. Burnett is on a business trip. It was whispered that he is looking for a site to open a large factory here, where he will employ at least 2,060 men and women. He would be woken into our city, not only by its humble citizens, but even our loop brothers. Many of the ladies said Mr. Burnett was a presiding elder, and others say he was a minister; so, after the defender gets through every one will know just where to place their man. NOAH D. THOMPSON LEADS PRAYER MEETING. Tuskegee, Ala., March 25.—On last Sunday evening Mr. Thompson, of Chicago, led a successful prayer meeting here. He took for his subject "How to Overcome Temptation," and cited Psalms 9:13. He spoke with such feeling that several of the students were moved; just before the audience got to the amen, glory and other fervent points, he raised a hymn, "Yield Not to Temptation," which he led in a clear tenor voice. When asked where he learned to sing he boldly said, "I have not been the head usher for the choral study eight years for nothing." Many of his friends are thinking of presenting his name at commencement time for the degree of "D. D." which no doubt will be done. HON. J. A. TRIBUE RETURNS TO CITY. Mr. J. A. Tribue, one of our whirlwind lawyers of the South Side, left Chicago about four months ago to grow up with Peorla, Ill. After testing the field thoroughly he returns to Chicago like a shot out of a gun and says: "Well, the proof of the pudding is the tasting of it. I have done that, and it was not seasoned enough, therefore, be it said that I. J. A. Tribune, returned to old Chicago without hesitation and when I leave a lucrative practice like I had to go to another big, you can just bet that 'old John' was pried out and that he did not volunteer." PEOPLE READ CHICAGO'S ONLY WEEKLY The Chicago Defender. JAMES JEFFRIES TO SECURE SAM LANGFORD'S SERVICES Mr. Jeffries wishes to have Sam Langford to help him train. When we consider Mr. Jeffries' retinue of trainers we can not even think that this affair on July 4 will be a race issue, but will be a test of strength and athletic ability as man to man, and color will not be considered and is not considered in the true sporting world. The best man always wins. We can trust to Jack to bring home the bacon. Mr. Jack Johnson arrived in the city this morning, and will proceed to settle up affairs of the 35th and Michigan avenue. Mr. Johnson will prove an alibi, as he was in bed the morning of the trouble. BARNARD W. FITTS' FATHER DIES. 1 On last Friday evening Mr. Barnard Pitts, 3315 State street, was called to Uniontown, Ala., to the funeral of his father, who died after a few days' illness. he will adjust all business matters before leaving his home, and it is said he may bring his mother with him to live. CHIEF STEWARD AND THE CHIL DREN. Early this week Chief of Police Le Roy T. Steward declared that the children had a right to roller skate on the sidewalks. Roller skating and marbles, he said, were innocent amusements of childhood and that his department would not interfere with the children who enjoyed them. All hall the chief. Children are entitled to rights the same as grown-ups, and skating upon the sidewalks and playing marbles will not hurt anyone. It has not been so long since you were a child that you have forgotten it. HON. S. A. WATKINS RETURNS FROM SOUTH. Attorney Watkins, who went South about three weeks ago to look into the matter of the Knights of Pythias and the terrible State of Georgia, returns much gratified with his work. He has won his point and will take the fight on to Washington, where he was for one week before coming to Chicago. This step, he says, will give the K. P.'s their full rights, while the Federal Government is booking up the case. The questions raised by the order is the Fourteenth Amendment, Article 4. of the Constitution, and the corporation act of 1870. Mr. Watkins says everybody in the State of Georgia has read the Defender's article and are wondering how we manage to get hold of such news as is only found in this paper. Attorney Watkins likes the South very much, but says he would rather live here in his adopted home. He says he also disposed of the Pennsylvania case. CHICAGO AND THE HATFINS Our women and girls must be careful of their hatpins. Monday night the crusade against the deadly rapiers like hatpin culminated in the almost unanimous adoption by the city council of an ordinance forbidding the wearing of hatpins which stick out from the crown of the hat more than half an inch, under penalty of a $50 fine. Remember, this is a law and will be enforced. If you cannot obey it throw away your hatpins and go back to the substantial rubber bands of your childhood days. ICE WATER, PLEASE? This line, appearing as a sub-head in our story of "The Bellman's Ball," in last Saturday's issue, caused much comment. Bellman needs no explanation, but to the uninitiated we will say that "Ice Water. Please!" is what he hears from the time he goes on watch until his "watch" goes off. Some hotels have 700, some have 300, but theery is the same. Every hotel guess believes that a pitcher of Lake Michigan with a chunk or two of ice is the one thing needful. DR. ROBINSON'S WHEEL PATENT NOTE HOLDERS TO MEET ! There must be something new turning up, for Dr. Robinson has a full face of smiles. In speaking to our reporter on yesterday he said, "You may make a note in your paper and tell everybody who has notes against me on account of the patent wheel of nine to meet me Sunday afternoon at my office, 2035 State street." So by that we can glean that there is something doing for those the people were smiling at for over eight years. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, ET AL. Read the Independent for Easter; an able article by Booker T. Washington on "Higher Education for the Negro." Then send comments to the Defender and let us know what you think of Booker now. GEORGE WHITE DEAD. Mr. George White, a young actor, formerly of the Pekin stock company, but later professionally known as Joe. Elmore of the vaudeville team of Elmore & Ray, died at his home on State street, near 25th, Tuesday morning, March 22, after a lingering illness. He is survived by his wife, Beulah Ray. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1910 THE SOUTH SIDE'S STATE MILLINERY STORE 3803 SOUTH STATE STREET The Mecca for the Newest Styles of Trimmed Hats-An Elaborate Display of Fine Spring, Summer and Easter Hats. Nowhere in Chicago can be seen a finer display of spring, summer and Easter hats than can be seen at the State Millinery stores, 3803 State street, conducted by the Semco sisters. The management has recently returned from New York, where she had an opportunity to see and come in touch with the millinery world, and select the most elaborate and becoming styles, and is, therefore, prepared to please the most fastidious. You will not question the exceptional values offered, since comparisons and prices cannot be duplicated elsewhere in Chicago. Why pay car fare to visit down town stores, to buy your Easter hat, with such an elaborate millinery display at the State Millinery store, 3803 South State street? The same courtesy shown and like treatment to all. This store is equipped with the most proficient and artistic trimmers, therefore perfect satisfaction guaranteed. You can always depend on the State Millinery for correct styles. You will find straw braid leghorn hats, hand-made hats, etc., beautifully trimmed in numerous colorings, blended and contrasted, an inspiration of spring styles and charming. RAMBLING ABOUT CHICAGO Items of Interest All Around the Town, and a Line or Two Elsewhere BY THE RAMBLER. To-morrow, Easter Sunday, the civilized world rejoices. Christ has conquered death and risen from the grave. The beautiful story of Easter—the time of rejoicing—interests both saint and sinner. No matter what the condition, Easter is the time to "brush up." In many cases this terse term only means the donning of the best necktie and the sponging and pressing of the time-worn suit. In other cases it means the time to turn out—to appear at church or on the streets in the latest that dressmaker or tailor can offer. To the balance, and fortunately their name is legion, it means to "brush up" both soul and body. The Christian portion of the world delights in the day for its two-fold advantage. Being human they delight in appearing to the best advantage before their fellowmen, but as followers of the lowly Nazarene their greatest joy is to renew their spiritual strength on the anniversary of the triumph over death of the isen Christ. In your celebration of Easter the greatest of all holidays, remember the poor. Wait, I will modify that, remember those less fortunate than yourself. Ask your family physician and he will tell you of numerous cases where the glad Easter spirit will be unknown, unless you or your friends help to furnish it. They will tell you how "Mad March," with its trail of pneumonia and other diseases, has left destitute many whom you think know no want. Your friends in club life will tell you the same thing. Everywhere there is great suffering. Last week a family of six—a sick mother and five small children—were found on one of our prominent streets destitute and having been without food for several days. They were relieved and cared for by one of the county organizations, and their predicament is only one of many. During the week one of our undertakers was compelled to send out his own assistants to solicit funds to bury one of our many unfortunate. When you are dressed, Easter morning, ask your pastor where you can go during the day or the day following, and help carry the true Easter spirit. You will have no trouble in finding a case and your share, no matter whether it is the "widow's mite" or the generous portion proportioned by your own prosperity, your enjoyment of the glorious festival will be heightened, and some one in need will be benefited. These are lively times among the colored people of Chicago. First politics is more interesting than ever before. That subject being prohibited in this column, I must pass Hon. E. H. Wright's fight for Alderman in the Second Ward, and other interesting matters along the same line, up to the other fellow. Then there is the Wets and the Drys. Which do you—but that is also barred. However, Theodore Roosevelt is on his way home, and the story of his trip makes pleasant and interesting—but that is also under the ban of the editor. There is a North Pole and Mutt Henson was—but I think that is also on the black list. Anyhow, to-morrow is Easter, and I hone that the day will be a fine one and that you will shine in all your glory. All of the events of Easter day in the Defender next week and the Easter parade b. THE RAMBLER. CARD OF THANKS. I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to my many kind friends and neighbors for their kindness shown me during the illness and denise of my son, William Jones, who died March 3. Mrs. Susie Johnson, 585 East 35th street. MISCELLANEOUS MUSINGS Brief Remarks About Men and Thing in Chicago. St. Patrick's day was a great day sure enough. And President Taft led the parade. And several races of people, including Orentals, were in the St. Patrick-Taft parade, except the African blood of the mulattoes and the American blood of the Indians. President Taft is a member of the one million dollar fund committee set apart for colored rural district schools of the South, and Dr. Booker T. Washington has been reminded that if that money is not applied in such a way that a complete compromise will result in the establishment of the American school system in the next century, by mixing the race-stocks, as ex-President Roosevelt had put it in his Washington, D. C., speech to the American public school board, their names will not live in the twenty-hundredth history of the Fund. Col. Theodore Roosevelt will be a great inspiration to the colored race when he returns from Africa. He was not only the greatest President America ever produced, but he is to-day the most powerful, unbiased and reliable public man on record. He never tries to passify by pretension. He mustered the colored soldiers out on evidence that had been submitted to him reluctantly regardless of the adverse stand taken against him by all the colored newspapers. I for one, felt lenient toward Mr. Roosevelt, and expressed it in a manuscript submitted to "The Freeman," which they threw into the editor's waste basket. When the time had come for restitution and Mr. Roosevelt had advised an individual investigation and restoration I reminded the Freeman people of the act. The oleomargarine investigation which is now on is of the greatest benefit to the poor of anything that has happened in the food line in Chicago. It must be remembered that when oleo invaded New York It took the city by storm. When the rainy season was over, after bright public officials and the rebellion of farmers had subsided, there was no more oleo, it had taken refuge in the "windy city." It is discouraging to note that two of our best first class colored restaurants uses oleo. but I was amused when I discovered that a railroad porter keeps private butter in the ice box of one of these restaurants while I have to eat oleo. I am from the enlightened East and I have to put salt on it to digest it. Oleo is an insult and far too common for any Eastern gentleman to eat, and yet people in Chicago claim civilization. The colored newspaper outlook in Chicago is something fierce. Some of the best newspaper men, I understand, have gone out of the business into other occupations. The wolf is at each door. Dishonest men have demoralized the advertising business. It is all right to be editors and writers, but it takes a man that can talk to the saloonkeepers and land big "ads." There are lots of men who claim to be writers, too, but I tell you it takes brains to write, and gumption to run a newspaper. No wonder Barber, the magazine man, went away, and T. Thomas Fortune rode right in and turned right around and rode right out again. There is lots to be done in Chicago among the Negroes to build up people's characters and to blot out would be respectable as well as dangerous buncofosm. LOVE OF DRESS LEADS TO PRISON Ohio Girl Who Gave Sister Mysterious Tablet Faces Murder Charges. Sixteen-year-old Catherine Manz ended her restless girlhood in a prison cell in Massillon, Ohio, the other night under a charge of murder. At a preliminary hearing before Mayor Remley the prisoner entered a plea of not guilty to the charge of murder in the first degree. Later the girl faced another long cross examination as to the death of her sister, Elizabeth, to whom she says she gave a mysterious tablet Friday not long before the elder girl fell dying to the door. In her confused first story to the chief of police and the coroner the child prisoner declared that she had purchased a drachnum of strychnine for a man, who later presented her with two capsules to give her sister. She has declined to tell who this man is and the police are inclined to believe that he is only a figure of her imagination. It is known, however, that her love of clothes and her extravagances led her into many escapades. Her friends will be called upon to tell what they know of her relations with her sister. LIEUTENANT GEORGE S. THOMPSON, U. S. ARMY, DISMISSED IN DISGRAGE VERY FEW NEGROES ON UNCLE SAM'S ARMY STAFF. Lieutenant Thompson Should Have Thought of the Reflection His Actions Would Cause Seattle, Washington, March 25.—Special to Defender.—Lieut. George S. Thompson, one of the few colored commissioned officers of the United States, an officer at Fort Lawton, has been dismissed from the service. He was charged with making false statements to his commanding officer, failure to pay his just debts and questionable moral conduct. Looked at from one viewpoint Lieut. Thompson's case is only one of many for men in high and low stations in life are daily betraying their trusts and displaying, oftimes, long-concealed weaknesses where great moral worth was most expected. Thus viewed, the Lieutenant's failure looms up the more distinctly simply because of the scarcity of Negroes who have attained the position of a commissioned officer in the United States army, and because of the fact that the race with which he is identified is of younger growth, hence noticeably before the public's eye. But the lack of virtue in one man is no excuse for another and a failure to make good after giving twenty-five years' service in the army, to rise from the ranks, and then throw his chances away when he had achieved distinction, fills one with disgust devoid of pity, regardless of who the man is. Lient. The cuppain should never have forgotten that he wore his country's colors, and that an army failure jeopardized his birthright as an individual exponent of ripe manhood. Did this fail him the knowledge that 10,000,000 men, women and children of the race to which he belonged were turned towards him with appealing eyes, praying that he represent them with honor, should have sufficiently fortified him? The Defender sympathizes with the officer and hopes he will cure himself of his weakness. The Defender will from time to time publish the doings of the boys and keep the public well informed about them. RICH PULLMAN CAR CLERK STUNS JUDGE. New York, March 25.—A "Sleeping car attendant" instead of a Pullman porter, who runs between here and Boston on one of the New Haven trains, was arraigned in the west side court to-day charged with driving an automobile up Broadway last night at thirty miles an hour. "He had no trouble in getting bail, your honor," said the policeman, "for a colored real estate dealer soon appeared and put up a piece of property valued at $20,000 for his release." "Whom do you chauffeur for?" asked the magistrate. "I don't chauffeur for nobody," said Dedman. "I own my car and I was on my way home after my night's run from Boston to this city. My car always meets me at the station and I was in a hurry last night as I had an important real estate deal pending which I wanted to close. In the Bronx I own my house," said the prisoner. "The business of a sleeping car porter must pay mighty well, doesn't it?" asked the magistrate. "It does, indeed." said Dedman, "but times could be just a little better than they are just now. You know the tariff and the high cost of——" "Never mind the cost," said Judge Corriman. "I hold you in $100 bail for court." This is nothing new in New York for a porter or sleeping clerk to own a car for it seems that there is an entirely new class of men getting into the service. They are bringing up the standard of the work and the people recognizing the twentieth century sleeping clerk a real man and not the grinning monkey who cuts up didoes to get a tip. The Eastern men have decided to carry revolvers since so many of them have been assaulted by white Southern gentlemen of late. The cause of these continued insults hurled at the colored man by the Southern white gentlemen is, at the South the railroad colored man takes all his foolishness, while those at the North treat him from a business standpoint. The time for grinning has passed and the sooner the Negro as well as the Southern white gentleman (?) learn it the better. Two Girls Cremated The 6-year-old daughter of Edward Houston and the 4-year-old daughter of Samuel Hyersing were burned to death in Guthrie, Okla., when their clothing ignited from fires that had been started to burn brush. Buried Alive in Well. Faint taps, coming from the abyss of a cave-in well, spurred a score of workers on the Bradbury ranch near Monrovia, Qa., to redeployed efforts to save William Tickering, ranch foreman from death. FOR DEAR OLD FISK. The Chicago Fisk Jubilee Singers gave an excellent concert at the Garfield Park M. E. church on Tuesday evening, March 22, under the management of Mrs. Charles R. Lewis. There was a very large and appreciative audience present, who gave an offering of $20 to the benefit of the school. MASONS IN THE EASTER PARADE. From their Temple at 40th and State streets, they will march north on State at 2 o'clock to Bethel Church, where they will have a special sermon preached. There will be over 200 members out, a full band and a squad of police officers to precede the line of march. BEEF FIRMS ARE INDICTED National Packing Company and Ten Subsidiaries. Arc Bit. Indictments against the National Packing Company and ten subsidiary corporations, charged with operating in restraint of trade, were returned by the federal grand jury in Chicago. Simultaneously, a bill in equity was filed by the government in which the courts are asked to dissolve the parent concern. The double barreled blow is calculated by government officials to have a far-reaching effect and shortly after the grand jury was discharged it was authoritatively stated that criminal prosecution of individuals might follow. The civil action was filed by United States District Attorney Sims, under instructions from Attorney General Wickersham. Chicago and St. Louis Trains on Great Western Road Leap Rails in Iowa. Organizes and Leads the Work of Rescue Among Panic-Stricken Passengers. Forty-eight persons were killed and forty-three injured, many probably fatally, in a wreck at 8:30 o'clock the other morning four miles from Green Mountain, Ia. The train wrecked was a combination of the Rock Island road's "Twin City express" trains, bound for Minneapolis from Chicago and St. Louis, and being routed over the Chicago Great Western tracks. The wreck whi a is the worst in the history of Iowa railroading, was caused by the tender of the first of the two engines drawing the combined train jumping the track and plunging into a clay bank lining a deep cut near Green Mountain. A relatively unimportant freight wreck on the Rock Island at Shellsburg the previous night was the indirect cause of the catastrophe. In this freight wreck traffic was so tied up that it was necessary for the Rock Island to make a temporary routing arrangement with the Chicago Great Western to care for its passenger trains to and from Minneapolis. The Chicago "Twin City Express" and the St. Louis train were combined at Marshalltown. As there was no turn table, it was necessary for the two engines to be coupled at the head of the train with their tenders ahead and pull the cars backing up. It is supposed that this unusual method of running the engines caused the tender of the first locomotive to leap the track in the cut. The tender plunged into the bank and stuck there and the two locomotives leaped the rails and jammed into the cut. Next to the engines was the heavy Pullman sleeper of the St. Louis train, in which many of the passengers had not left their berths. Directly behind the Pullman were two lighter cars, first a smoking car and then a day ar, and behind these were the ten other passenger, baggage and express cars which composed the train. Although the train was not traveling faster than twenty-five miles an hour, the enormous weight back of the lightly constructed day coach and smoker telescoped them against the immovable bulk of the heavy Pullman and the two locomotives. Most of the fatalities and serious injuries occurred in these two cars, which were ground almost to bits. The passengers in the St. Louis Pullman escaped with a shaking up and minor brushes, while the ten cars back of the telescoped section of the train remained on the rails and those riding in them suffered only trifling injuries. Wild scenes of panic ensued. The presence on the scene of so many uninjured passengers, unaccustomed to acting in emergencies and overcome by the horror of the catastrophe, added to the confusion. A young Chicago physician, Dr. John W. De Vry, stands out as the hero who brought order out of the chaos and was responsible for the organized work of rescue that doubtless saved many lives before the special train from Marshalltown, bearing doctors and nurses, had reached the scene. If You See It In DEFENDE IT'S SO! PRICE 5 CENT THE CHORAL STUDY CLUB MAKES GREAT HI AT WHITE BAPTIST CHURCH. Olivet Baptist Church Choir Wipes St. Mark's Choir Off Singing Map. Miss Churchill of Olivet and Mrs. F. E. Washington, of St. Mark's, Stars of the Evening. Sunday evening, March 20, was the red letter evening for the Choral Study Club. Long before the services began the church began to fill, and by the time the first keynote of the organ struck the chord of the seven last words of Christ, by Theodore Dabois, there was only standing room. The chorus was perfect and the solos did their work with perfect case. While the net proceeds were not up to the attendance, it was a good advertisement for the June concert, for all present expressed great surprise at the club's work. The singing contest between Olivet Baptist Church and St. Mark's M. E. Church fell far short of a contest, from the fact that two-thirds of Olivet's members are trained in the Choral Study Club, while in St. Mark's there were only three who are members. Olivet members knew how to hold their music, got up together, sat down together, and there was no one among them beating time with their feet, head or shoulders. All these minor things Olivet had done fine. Prof. Alfonzo Johnson deserves great credit for his thorough work of his club, Mr. J. A. Washington, leader of St. Mark's choir, deserves great credit for the gameness shown by his little band. The church was well filled and all present, truly enjoyed the evening. MR. MOSE SAMUEL'S NEW DESK PHONE Mrs. Mose Samuel, 6401 Phloxies nue, has installed electric lights his home. Then he said: "I tired standing up to talk at phone," so he had a desk phone put in with an extension at his bed, so when he is resting he will lay down and talk to the boys when they call up. He is planning to put in a fireless cooker for the summer. Sure Enough. Mrs. Bacon—1 read here that the veins on the back of the hand are every bit as useful for the identification of criminals as thumb prints. Mr. Bacon (looking at his hand) is that a fact? "Now, what are you looking at the back of your hand for? You're not a criminal, are you?"—Yonkers Statesman GIVE UP HEREDITARY SEATS. Lords Vote to Accept Principle of Eosberry Resolution By a vote of 115 to 17 the House of Lords in London renounced the hereditary right to legislate which has been the cardinal element of the British upper house for centuries. The occasion of the fateful division was Lord Rosbery's third resolution dealing with the reform of the house. The house agreed the previous da that reform and reconstitution was necessary. The complementary resolution was passed was "that a necessary preliminary to such reform reconstitution is acceptance of the principle that possession of a pledge should no longer of itself give the right to sit and vote in the House of Lords." It is significant that fewer than 200 of the 616 members of the house shared in the fateful division. Many of the absentees were reluctant sanction the extinction of the hereditary principle. Nevertheless, they so far recognized its expediency as not to oppose it. Figures issued by New York Bankers Show Average Deposit Is $380.

A woman died the other day because she only weighed twenty pounds. chose we all know dead weight is If more of our men were as considerate of our women as Jack Johnson is, what a great race of people we would be. History teaches us that the main object of mobs in monarchical revolutions is to dethrone the king and raise the deuce. Why not arrest the man who built the gate for speed violation instead of the innocent purchaser. Then Jack would go free. The burning question in Chicago today is whether "dry" weather is better than wet. Up to this writing everybody seems to think wet is better. It is a highly commandable move to try to keep open the door of diplomatic preferment to capable American citizens who do not happen to be rich. Maj. R. R. Jackson was seen with field glasses looking over his baseball route. He says his boys have gone so far he was forced to draw his glasses on them. Mr. Roosevelt is being mentioned for a third term.

The weather man is the standing joke of the paragraphers who fill space by holding him responsible for the different brands of weather that are turned loose on an unoffending community, but the paragraphers know, and everyone else knows, that the weather man is the greatest life saver and property saver in the whole world. He cannot control the elements, but he can give warning, and men can seek safety. We cannot speak with certainty, but we believe there are hundreds of men alive to-day who owe their lives to the weather bureau; and the warnings the bureau sends out save more lives at sea than on land. Tests by members of the United States Geological Survey have demonstrated the fact that a gallon of denatured alcohol can be made to do the same amount of work in an engine as a gallon of gasoline. The alcohol, moreover, makes no smoke, and is less likely to yield disagreeable odors; but the lower cost of gasoline makes it at present the cheaper fuel. The tests are interesting chiefly because the time will probably come before long when improved processes both of agriculture and of manufacture will greatly lower the price of alcohol. One reason why Germany uses alcohol so extensively as a motor fuel is the ability of the Germans to make alcohol cheaply from potatoes, and the fact that they can raise four hundred bushels of potatoes to the acre. A new national association has been organized for the study and prevention of infant mortality. Its formation is the outcome of a conference in New Haven, at which we present about two hundred delegates, most of whom are either physicians or persons connected with charitable or philanthropic enterprises. In all ages and all civilizations the number of children who died during their early years has been appalling. Although the rate of infant mortality is lower now than it was formerly, the lessened evil makes a deeper impression upon the public conscience. The New Haven conference brought together specialists in infant nutrition, officials engaged in administering depots for the distribution of pure milk, nurses employed in the house-to-house teaching of hygiene for mothers, superintendents of hospitals and children's homes, managers of seaside and country resorts, and many others, each familiar with some corner of the field; yet the conference was unanimous in accepting the fundamental principle that poverty is the great cause of infant mortality. "Where the white hearse stops most often, you will find the weakest place in your municipal housekeeping," said the speaker. It is true, and its truth comes home to every man and woman in the land. The farmer who neglects to wash his milkcans endangers the lives of children fifty miles away. The thoughtless pollution of a stream or the careless spitting on the sidewalk may rob some mother of her baby. These are individual responsibilities. There are others no less important. To pay good wages, to keep tenement-house property in order, to vote for men who believe in parks and playgrounds, clean streets and pure food, is to save the state's most valuable possession—the lives of the children; and no one who neglects such obligations is entirely guiltless. In the day of the great metaphysical skeptic, David Hume, psychology, especially the new psychology, was not invented. Nevertheless the Scotchman stated with marvelous lucidity some of the laws or fallacies to which the human mind is subject, and he showed how upon those fallacies, the superstitions which aftright the human imagination are based. Here, for instance, are thousands casually connecting the terrible floods in France with the portent of the comet, although the scientists affirm that the two things are in no way related. A little of Hume's philosophy may serve to dispel the frantic fear of the woes the comet will occasion to our planet, even if it does not bump into us at last. The things that happen in any one instant of time are multitudines. If the human perception were to be aware of 1 per cent of all the occurrences, the sensatory nerves would be shattered and our brains would go mad. Fortunately we perceive mainly that to which our attention is called, and the phenomena which are inconsequential to us, are not registered by our perception. Therefrom arises the frequent fallacy. Out of a million happenings the mind picks two which it chances to note, and if both are unusual the mind assumes that the two are dependent, the one upon the other. A comet flames into our skies. Paris is drowned in floods. The coincidence must have a meaning, it is not mere chance. Hence the conflict is responsible for the floods. Hume says it is a law of the mind to note the one coincidence and to disregard the thousand non-coincidences. In a universe wherein a million things are happening at once, it would be passing strange if coincidences did not occur. In fact, they must occur. But coincidence is not cause and effect. If the comet is responsible for floods in France, it is responsible for the birth of a baby in a Pullman car. A comet roamed the heavens those Ides of March on which great Julius fell, and the superstitious Romans saw in the flaming visitor the departing soul of Caesar. That comet was as truly the soul of Caesar as this comet of ours is cause of the Seine's inundations. Comets, as well as planets, suns and all the heavenly host, have other business than materializing great men's souls or bursting Parisian sewers. Life has existed on this planet millions of years. In all that time this sphere has revolved and rotated regularly and never been malignly influenced by forces out of the void of space. Life's troubles here have all proceeded from forces within the aerial envelop. The heat and light and electricity that have readied this globe through the ether have been entirely beneficent. Therefore the probability that Earth will continue unmolested until she cools amounts to mathematical certainty. Besides, the astronomers assure us that collision with a comet would not scorch the hair of a single creature. PERSONALS.

The Modoc Indians in Oklahoma are going home—not to the lava beds in California, whence they were taken to the Quapaw Indian reservation nearly forty years ago, but to the Klamath reservation of the Modocs in Oregon, where they will get land in exchange for their allotments in Oklahoma, the Kansas City Times says. The Modocs have been homesick ever since they went to Oklahoma, and their return to the Northwest is the result of their constant appeal to the authorities at Washington. The removal of the Modocs to Oklahoma followed their defeat after their bloody campaign against government troops in the lava beds, where they were commanded by Capt. Jack. They assassinated and butchered all except two of the peace commission sent to them by the Secretary of War. When the Modocs reached Oklahoma there were thirty-nine men, fifty-four women and sixty children, many of whom were sorely wounded. Among them were such notable leaders as Scarface Charley, Steamboat Frank and Shacknasty Jim. Age and disease have cut down the Modocs until only sixty remain. Nearly all their old leaders have died. In going to the Klamath country, from which they fled when they entered the lava beds in California, these Modocs will be among the Klamath Modocs, whom they thoroughly hate and despise because of the arrogance of the Klamath band. The Oklahoma Modocs were moved from California to Oregon, only to have their Oregon kinsmen say to them: "You can stay here, but it is our country. Your horses can eat the grass, but it is our grass. You can catch fish, but they are our fish." This was more than Capt. Jack and his people could bear, and they stole away and returned to their old haunts in California. When the Federal government tried to make them go back to Oregon the Modocs began fighting and sought refuge in the inaccessible lava beds. A commission was sent to treat with them. The commission established its camp about two miles from the retreat of the Modocs, in the lava beds, and midway was pitched a tent at which the council should be held. No sooner had the commissioners assembled in the tent than they found that death was at hand. Capt. Jack suddenly shot Gen. Canby, adviser of the commissioners. Rev. Ebenezer Thomas, a commissioner, also was stain and his body robbed and mutilated. Two of the commissioners escaped. The United States government then put a large body of troops in the field, and the Modocs were pursued night and day until they surrendered, Oct. 2, 1873. Capt. Jack, Black Chin, Boston Charley and Schronchin Jim were hanged at Fort Klamath, Ore., for the murder of Canby and Thomas. Soon afterward the California Modocs were taken to findian Territory. The Ancient Hour. The earlier Egyptians divided the day and night each into twelve hours, a custom adopted by the Jews or Greeks, probably from the Babylonians. The day is said to have first been divided into hours from B. C. 293, when a sun dial was erected in the temple of Quirinus, at Rome. Previous to the invention of the water clocks, B. C. 158, the time was called at Rome by public clerks. In early England one expedient for measuring time was by wax caplies, three inches burning an hour. The first perfect mechanical clock was not made until about A. D. 1250. Day began at sunrise among most of the northern nations, at sunset among the Athenians and Jews, and at midnight among the Romans, as with us. Before the customer paid his bill the hotel stenographer tore several pages out of her note book and handed them to him. "Only the notes of his letters," she said to the next customer. "He is one of the cautious kind. There are not many like him. About once in six months somebody comes along who keeps such a watchful eye on his correspondence that he won't even let a stenographer keep his notes. Of course it is nothing to us, and we always give them up when asked to. I don't know what the cautious folk do with them. Destroy them, maybe. Anyhow, there is no record of foolish utterances left in the stenographer's books." — New York Sun. More Basket Ball. "Life is not all beer and skittles."

All Men Treated Alike—Defender Correspondent Tells of Race Progress in Sister Republic. Staff Correspondent Mexico City, March 18.—I have just returned from Mexico. It is a glorious land, free from race prejudice and all the little qualities that make up this country we live in. It was my eighth annual tour, and I was able to make a deep study of the conditions of my people. I had no sooner landed from the train than I discovered that I was in what seemed to be essentially a black man's country. Every place I went I saw prosperous, industrial Negroes carrying on business of their own. There were large wholesale houses owned and operated by Negroes supplied by planters of African descent. Black and white mingled together in even closer intimacy than the Jews do in the United States. There is not a drug store in the capital city that will refuse a Negro a drink of ice cream soda, and in several cases whites and blacks have intermarried without causing even comment. The courts are fair. They stand for the principle, "All men up, no men down," that Bwano Twumbo made famous during his first administration. A judge in one of the rural districts, himself a Negro, told me the following incident: --- A Negro was shot by a Texas ruffian, who, when brought to justice, pleaded that he was defending the white man's superiority. "But this is a country for every man," said the judge. "You shall be shot. That is my sentence." President Taft tried to persuade President Diaz to pardon him, but the "Grand Old Man of Mexico" was obstinate and implicitly refused. In Mexico City I met the following colored business men: F. L. Bates, the agent of the American Laundry Company, who receives $35 per week, and who formerly lived in Chicago, and Mrs. Nelson, a wholesale hair goods woman. There are scores of colored railroad engineers, among them Ed. Pickering, John Johnson, Wallace King, Jim Bryan and others. Mr. Pickering is President Diaz' favorite, and always runs his special car. Mr. Griggsby owns the most prominent hotel in Mexico, and is the father of a very accomplished singer and social belle, who has often been in the circles at the executive mansion. Also Mr. Wm. Braxton, who has been engineer and general yard foreman for the Mexican Railroad Company for many years at Tamasopo, Mexico. He is one of the largest land owners in Tampico, better known in Chicago as Ham Hock. Another one, who has worked up to prominence, is Mr. John White, who has been a fireman on the De National Railroad of Mexico for eleven years, and speaks fluent Spanish; in fact, if a man can speak the language, color is nothing. On the whole Mexico can be said to be the black man's country. 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 unsurpassed 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 sopoleate. 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 arti- al circulation which brings the desired nutrition to the very outer layer of the skin. Rejuvenating the cellular elements and thereby bringing back the youthful appearance. Full directions on every bottle. Ask your druggist for THE ELITE FACE CREAM and take no other. J. S.

State street Ford's Hair Pomade Fifty years of success have proved the merits of this preparation. What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of women in all ages. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade makes stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair softer, more pliable and glossy, easy to comb and arrange in any style desired consistent with its length, as long as the Pomade remains in the hair. This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition, and two to four bottles, regular size, are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle.

It is self-evident that from Canada's close proximity to the United States and the absence of natural barriers on her southern frontiers the Americanizing of the Dominion should be a palpable fact, but it is worthy of notice that a like process is going on. In spite of the intervening ocean, in Australia also, says the Preussische Jahrbuch. Witness the large as well as the smaller incidents of public life. The decrees of the law courts were more frequently founded upon the American than upon British precedents. In clothing and in eating the custom and fashion of America became more and more prevalent. In the theaters and music halls three-fourths of the performers were Americans. The book-sellers displayed many more American than English publications. The Australian merchants and exporters looked to America as the headquarters of the world's commerce. The Americanizing of Australian legislation soon follower, and those who drew up the Australian constitution looked to the United States for a model. Their commonwealth is indeed a second edition of the North American union. There is also a third section of the British world empire which is threatened with the danger of being Americanized. This is the British West Indies. The natives of these islands have, within the last twenty years, learned to compare the enterprising spirit of the United States with the inertness of Great Britain. The occupation of Porto Rico, the institution of a protectorate over Cuba, the administration of the same island and the undertaking of the Panama canal have excited their admiration. They found in the numberless American travelers who visited the Antilles, calling Jamaica the Riviera of North America, those who knit closer and closer the commercial and social ties that united the States and the English islands. REASONING OF A SPIDER Insect Shows Intelligence in the Face of Danger. The instinct of the spider is always an interesting subject for study, the New York World says. Recently a naturalist placed a small spider in the center of a large spider's web some four feet above ground. The large spider soon rushed from its hiding place under a leaf to attack the intruder, which ran up one of the ascending lines by which the web was secured to the foliage. The big insect gained rapidly upon the little one, but the fugitive was equal to the emergency, for when barely an inch ahead of the other it cut with one of its rear legs the line behind itself, thus securing its own escape, the ferocious pursuer falling to the ground. The naturalist says: "It is not the habit of spiders to cut the slender thread below them when they are ascending to avoid some threatened danger unless there is a hole close at hand—and a hole that is known to be unoccupied." From this it would seem that the little creature's action was the result of some sort of reasoning. Instinct led it to run away, but it must have been something more than instinct that led it to sever the line and so cut off the pursuit. The same naturalist says that spiders are cannibals, and that they are naturally pugnacious. But they do not fight for the satisfaction of eating one another. "When two spiders fight there is generally a very good reason for the attack and the vigorous defense that follows. "It is not generally known that after a certain time spiders become incapable of spinning a web from lack of material. The glutinous excretion from which the slender threads are spun is limited, therefore spiders cannot keep on constructing new snares when the old ones are destroyed. But they can avail themselves of the web-producing powers of their younger neighbors, and this they do without scruple. As soon as a spider's web-constructing material has become exhausted and its last web destroyed, it sets out in search of another home, and unless it should chance to find one that is tenantless a battle usually ensues, which ends only with the retreat or death of the invader or defender." Louis Joseph Vance, author of "The Fortune Hunter, was born in Washington, D. C., in 1879, and has been a writer of short stories and contributor to magazines since 1901. Previous to 1007 he had written several novels, but in that year "The Brass Bowl," his first big success, was brought out. It was followed the next year by "The Black Bag," and since then by "The Bronze Bell" and "The Pool of Flame," all of which have been unusually successful. Mr. Vance is at present in Bermuda, where he is engaged in writing a new novel which will probably appear under the title of "No Man's Land." We all expect too much help from others.

Housewives who cannot be happy without their little gardens had better make a wide detour of the Nevada desert. Nothing grows in the treasure hills and vales of the Great Basin save the joshua-tree, a shady variety of the yucca-palm; sagebrush and the greasewood bush.

A North sea trawler has caught mackerel twenty-four inches in length, weighing four and one-half pounds. Londoners live, on an average, to an age of 57 years. In mast parts of England the standard is below this. Columbia University boys have taken a step in the matter of reform that will meet with commendation. They have barred mustaches. Five daughters have been born at one time to the wife of a peasant named Gaira, near Serres, in Macedonia. They were distinguished at the christening by ribbons of different colors tied round their necks. It is stated in a consular report that provincial Persia is practically uncivilized, and that even the greater nobles have no special bedrooms, while all sleep on mattresses on the ground. Beds are ornaments, purchased occasionally and placed in the drawing room. To get rid of the fluttering effect of moving pictures, an inventor has applied the principle of the stereoscope, the picture being thrown on the screen by two lenses, in front of which shutters open and close alternately so rapidly that there is no break in the series. A German inventor has brought out a new process for lacquering brass tubing by revolving it in a lathe and applying the lacquer while the tubing is heated electrically. Formerly the heating had to be done in ovens, with a separate operation for every coat of lacquer. More than ten times the sum paid over to the Indians for about twenty-two thousand acres, according to the original estimate, has since been paid for a single square foot of New York soil! Probably there is no other sale on record where the advance in value has been so great.—Putnam's. Arrangements will shortly be made by the Austrian government for the public sale of radium for medical and experimental purposes. The total quantity of radium which has been thus far recovered for scientific use throughout the world is estimated not to exceed a quarter of a pound. As to dreams, there was a discussion at the club lunch, and one man remarked that no man dreamed of himself as braver than he is. When the dream came, the dreamer was always the under dog. He was in horrible danger, and never did anything picturesque to face it. There may be men who are brave in their sleep. But it would be interesting to find one man outside of the dozen sleeping cowards who is a hero in a dream.—London Chronicle. As to the original inventor of the planing machine, there is perhaps scarcely a machine about which there has been more controversy than this, and there are many claimants to the honor. There are records, however, showing that Nicholas Forq, a French clockmaker, used a metal planer in 1751 for machining pump cylinders, apparently being under the impression that they could be made more accurately in this manner than by a revolving cutter—Cassler's Magazine. Melba's first public appearance was made at the age of 6, when she sang "Comin' Thro' the Rye" at a school concert. She was eager to hear what her playfellows, and one in particular, thought of her triumph. After many indirect attempts to introduce the subject, Nellie at length found herself unable to wait longer, and exclaimed excitedly: "But the concert, the concert! I sang last night and was encoered." And she looked with interest in the face of her friend, who answered, witheringly: "Yes, Nellie Mitchell and I could see your garters!"—Melba, in "A Biography." One of the most striking features of the India of to-day is the remarkable increase in crime, especially violent crime, directed both against the person and property. In many instances the crimes have been marked by a lust for blood which could only have been dictated by the utmost barbarity. For example, in one case in the Montgomery district no fewer than nine persons were done to death simply because a low caste woman who had married into the "proprietary body" insisted on claiming the position in the village that she considered her due. Five other cases are cited in which more than three persons were on each occasion done to death at one and the same time. Dacoities and burglaries increased at an alarming rate, notwithstanding the exertions of the police to cope with this state of affairs.—The Englishman.

"No." "Never go out in a buggy along a shady lane, with a plug of a horse and the only girl in the world?" Say, you don't know what life it."—Public Ledger. A traveler stopped at a hotel in Greenland, where the nights are six months long, and as he registered, asked a question of the clerk. "What time do you have breakfast?" "From half-past March to a quarter to May." Reporter—Mr. Cummin, have you the manuscript of the after-dinner speech you delivered at that banquet last night? Ketchum A. Cummin (with a gasp)—Did I deliver a speech there, young man? Whose?—Chicago Tribune. "The starvation experiences of those English suffragettes were trying." "Yes," answered Miss Cayenne; "it's pretty hard to be obliged to stop criticizing the public policies of a great government in order to find fault with its cooking."—Washington Star. Husband—You must marry again, dearest, when I am gone, and that will be very soon. Wife—No. Edward, no one will marry an old woman like me. You ought to have died ten years ago for that.—Meggendorfer Blatter. "Over here," said the Arab guide, "we have another mummy. From the cooking utensils found near her, she is supposed to have been a cook. For 2,000 years she has remained just where she was found." "Bosh!" scoffed the American tourist, "that's no cook." "Why not?" "Who ever heard of a cook remaining in one place that long?"—Chicago Daily News. Deduction. "Charley, dear," said young Mrs. Torkins, "I see a great deal of reference to cotton duck in the market reports." "Well, you know what that is, don't you? "Of course I do.

The most prominent event of the mid-winter season that is to take place in New York is the pre-lenten assembly recital scheduled to take place at Palm Garden next Monday evening, and what is most interesting to Chicago is to know that Miss Marie Burton is to be the principal soloist for the occasion. It is no doubt believed that Miss Burton's excellent work as a soprano soloist with the Choral Study Club last June is indirectly responsible for her selection by the New York Assembly. While Aniti Patti Brown easily holds the first record, both as an artist and singer, Miss Burton can safely claim second choice, at least as an artist, among the singers of Chicago. Other artists on the bill consist of Madam Jennie Kelly-Armstead, contralto; Richard B. Harrison, a Chicago reciter, and F. Hall Johnson, a young southern violinist. Melville Charlton will preside at the piano and Walter F. Craig's orchestra will furnish the music. Sidney L. Perrin and Goldie Crosby opened last Monday as headliners at the Pekin theater. Mr. Perrin is certainly a very talented actor, and his Chinese character creation as well as his own music was artistically clever, if not as mirthful as other comedy characters which he has formerly assumed. Miss Crosby wore new dresses and looked pretty as a Chinese maiden. Mr. Motts has proved that he will play good colored performers as headliners, and the next thing he must prove is that he is willing to pay such performers equally as much as he would pay a white actor of equal ability.

P. S, L. T. V, Y. and R. A. R. weren't putting on some sport. The P. O. dude is who was seen taking three dolls at one time to see Cole and Johnson out South. Oh, you 4th and 19th. How about it, G.?

The ex-high school doll is who, instead of taking a teacher's position, employs her most valuable time from morning until night reading novels. Five-count novels, too. The old lady is who says she is not going to be called "old lady" any more, but to part her hair on the side and wear it as a a roll like the rest of the "young" girls. The 50th street doll is who on Tuesday intended making three calls, but everything was so lovely at the first stop she made that she got no further. Staid for lunch and left before supper. Too bad, 50th Street, that you didn't stay for supper. You know everything was grand. company was a little exaggerated. Jerry Mills has gone to Canada to join Cole and Johnson. Jennie Ringgold has returned to re-join her old partner, Elvira Johnson, and the team opened at the Monogram last Monday. Nettie Lewis, who came straight home, opened at the Grand last week. Now, if Nettie Lewis is going to continue to play on State street, it is necessary to remind her to change her act. Short dresses above the knees and bathing suits won't go forever, even in Chicago, and Chicago is the limit. Billy and Sadie McCarver are at the Monogram, and Billy is always clever. Kelley and Catlin are gone out of the city for a week and Fiddier and Shelton have passed through and gone on the western big time. Lew Henry is representing the C. V. B. A. in this city. * * * J. Ed. Green is gradually improving in health since he has left the hospital. Dr. Brown asserts that there is not and has not been any danger of his losing his mind. The effort to get up a benefit for Mr. Green has been retarded, but it is hoped that the effort will pull through. It has been intimated that Manager Motts would be willing to consider a proper program if one is submitted to him by proper parties among Green's friends. The most regretful thing about actors is that they are not interested in each other. Green's nearest friends do all the talking, while it is expected that handy people outside of the profession who are friendly disposed toward Green must do all the work. It is generally hoped by the actors that Mr. W. H. Smith will do all he can to influence Mr. Mott in favor of having the benefit.

There are various morals to this story of Doctor Clifford, the eminent English clergyman. One is that it is wise for public speakers not to put off their appearance at the meetings they are to address till the last moment. A writer in Woman's Life tells the story. Doctor Clifford was once conducting a series of services in Birmingham. Arriving a few minutes before the commencement, the doctor was refused admission by the policeman at the door. I want to go in," said Doctor Clifford. "I think," remarked the famous passive resister, "that there will be room for me in the pulpit." "I am not so sure of it," retorted the officer. "But I am Doctor Clifford, and I am due to preach in another minute and a half." "Oh, are you?" said the incredulous policeman. "I have let in two Doctor Cliffords already." Plain Gasoline. Once upon a midday dreary, As I wandered weak and weary Down the lane, I was suddenly sent reeling By a subtle something stealing O'er my brain. And methought the air grew denser, "Incense from an unseen censer." Murmured I. I was wrong. That odor evil Floated from a big red devil Going by. —Philadelphia Bulletin.
