JACK JOHNSON A HERO Homeward Bound from a Midnight Ride, He Rescues the Victim of an Automobile That Had Turned Turtle. Drives Two Miles for Help—Hote Del Prado Bellmen and a Prominent Actor Respond to His Appeal for Help. Mr. Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, filled a new role Monday night and showed another one of his many virtues. This time he was the Good Samaritan. Returning from a midnight ride in his famous high power automobile, he encountered a wreck—another party, in order to avoid a collision, had turned a corner too short—the machine turned turtle and the entire party were pinioned beneath the heavy car. This accident occurred in Jackson Park, just off Old street. Mr. Johnson immediately stopped and, together with the other members of his party, they tried to lift the overturned car. But their combined efforts were futile, and the famous fighter saw that more help was needed if the suffering ones were to be aided. Leaving his party on guard, he jumped into his machine and started on a run for help. It was after midnight, and every place was closed. He thought of the Hotel Del Prado, but that was two miles away. "No matter," said the champion, and he turned on the power and made the run in short time. Arriving there he rushed in and surprised Night Clerk Robert L. Benjamin with his announcement of the wreck and the possibility of serious injury and death to the occupants of the car. Mr. Johnson wanted help and Mr. Benjamin quickly furnished it. The only person within call were George White and Frank Emmanuel, bellman, and he ordered them to go with Mr. Johnson at once. Sented in the lobby at the time was Mr. Frank Bacon, a well known actor connected with "The Fortune Hunter," now playing at one of the downtown theaters, and he volunteered his assistance. Reinforced by this number, Mr. Johnson made a record-breaking run back to the scene of the accident. With the aid of the police and fire department the wrecked car was lifted and the injured removed. One young woman, more seriously injured than the others, was conveyed to the hospital by Mr. Johnson in his car, and he returned and took his friends safely home. The champion was the coolest man throughout the entire incident, demonstrating again that he is a man of many talents. A recent editorial in one of our morning newspapers compared Mr. Johnson with Michael Angelo. Among other things this writer said "that the days when a great genius was not confined to one art, but was a master of several, have vanished from the earth. Michael Angelo, sculptor, architect, painter and poet, is perhaps the commonest example of the former versatility of genius. But where—so the disparaging question runs—are even feeble modern imitations of his versatility? This question we fancy will not forthence be asked with exactly the same triumphant tone now that Mr. Jack Johnson has shown with what marvelous ease he can twine the laurels of the orator around the bow already decorated for proficiency in prize fighting and drama." To this I add the greatest of them all—"the friend indeed in the time of need." BLUE SHOES FOR THE BABY. On Monday a woman in Durham, N. C., sent a letter to Mayor Busse expressing her interest in the 10-year-old girl at the county hospital who recently gave birth to a six-pound daughter. The letter is signed "A Friend." In a separate package the mayor received two sky-blue shoes, a trifle less than two inches in length, which he is requested to send to the county hospital for the baby. If you have a gift for this noted baby, the Defender will acknowledge and forward the same. This does not mean that we encourage such, but theorse is out the barn now, and we make the most of it. If the are not careful a thing like common; from the amount's running amuck after night about the streets. of our women's clubs up, instead of goshr and have ev'the police if such' late need of a, they DO WE WANT THE Y. M. C. A.? Mr. W. G. Raby Says Yes—What Do You Say? I noticed in the Chicago Dally Examiner an editorial dwelling upon the colored Y. M. C. A. Fortunately I am a member of the association and was agreeably surprised to read the above (allotted) editorial. Now what we want to do is to get to get together and put our shoulders to the wheel and push to an unbounding success, show the proper enthusiasm and give all the aid necessary in a financial way to this movement which leads to higher and more beneficial and intellectual aspirations for our colored youth. This association does not bar you because of denomination. The establishment of this association is for the betterment of the colored young men, the making of better men with higher and nobler ideas, how to think, and how to execute our thoughts; how to live right and how to do right. The writer was at the meeting at St. Mary's church on last Sunday eve and must say that one could scarcely imagine the enthusiasm shown by the boys at these meetings. After some very interesting talks by the Rev. Mr. Saunders and a visiting white minister, I was so impressed with the undertaking that I handed my name to President Dorsey for membership and since my affiliation with the Y. M. C. A. I expect to be an active member and instill the minds of my young men friends with the same enthusiasm that linked me with this great movement towards higher morals and better citizenship. If the young men would attend, these meetings which are held every Sunday evening at 4 o'clock at St. Mary's church on Dearborn street, near 50th street, they could see the good work that is being done for them, allow themselves the chance to become participants in an undertaking which is bound to be successful. It will not be another decade before the Colored Y. M. C. A. of Chicago will stand as a monument to the good people who are making this possible, and to the Negroes who join hands with them, as well as to all associated colored associations throughout the world. We have some great race men who are fighting and slaving for the success of the colored Y. M. C. A., among whom are young men of the type of Dr. W. W. Bradley, a very active member, as well as enjoying the distinction of being one of the foremost physicians of the city of Chicago. We expect to read a great moral harvest some day from this initial move. LADIES DO THE HONORS. Ladies' Glee Club Entrustain Husbands and Friends in Fine Style. The Ladies' Glee Club entertained their husbands and friends Thursday evening, April 14, at the residence of Mrs. Lowis, 2228 Dearborn street. The ladies were generous and provided amusement and refreshments in abundance. The guests of honor were Mr. and Mrs. Tibbs, Mr. and Mrs. Lee, Mr. Houston and sister, Miss Dickson and Messrs. Pondexter, Boon, Blake, Buckner, Williams and Mrs. Montjoy. The others present were Mr. and Mrs. Owens, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Lackland, Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Kenley, Mr. and Mrs. Whitson, Mr. and Mrs. McDonald, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Christwell. Delightful music was furnished for Mr. Tibbs, violinist; Mr. Buckner, piano, and Mr. Buckner, bass violin. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE DEFENDER.

A clean, bright, wholesome, news panel such as you publish, become visitor in any household. May you have access. Very truly yours. CLAUDIUS D. BELL, M. D. 5037 State Street. There is now only one billiard parlor on the South Side where our young men may go to spend an evening's outing, where their families won't have to worry as to their safety. It is where all the young-college men gather and spend their spare time; so by that it is a place of refinement and a place where no one ne'er be ashamed to be seen going in o' out. The Solteros Club was the first in all Chicago to have a barber shop attached, with cl CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1910 W Thursday night, April 21, will long be remembered by Jack. All the town turned out to do him honor. At his home fully $,000 people gathered to bid him good-bye. The Defender's entire staff was on hand, and assisted the Champion to reach his car in front of his door by surrounding him. The crowd surged too and fro, but so solid was the ring it gars and laundry. Since then all others have fallen in line and have said time and again. "We don't see how we overlooked such a scheme." For three years the club was at 3205 State street, but made a change because the landlord would not clean or renovate, so Mr. Harry A. Isaacs and Mr. L. N. Browne, the managers and owners, decided to move elsewhere, and they did move into one of the most palatial homes of any club on the South Side, at 3206, just across the street from their old stand. They have spent over $1,500 in new fixtures and other comforts for the men. Three years ago, when they opened, they had only three tables; to-day they have seven, and since a number of the non-inviting parlorists have closed and are about to close, this parlor is already beginning to be too small for the patronage. The club is electric lighted throughout with all other modern conveniences. Mr. Robert Calloway, general manager of the whole institution, better known as "Shorty," is one of the valuable assets to the house. He values his position and he has proven beyond a doubt that members of the race can and will work for each other and for their interest. The owners of the establishment are all pleased with him and said for eighteen months "Shorty" has not varied three minutes from 6 o'clock each morning. The Defender recommends the Solteros Club to the young college men who come to our city, when they want recreation. HOTEL WASHINGTON CAFE UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. During the first end of the week Mrs. L. Robinson took over the above cafe at 3252 Wubash avenue. While the change is made it is understood that everything will be changed. Instead of bringing samples of vegetables out on little dishes, Mrs. Robinson has figured things down to such a point that she will serve you like they do at home, placing on each table things to eat and letting each help themselves. In this way you need not leave her cafe hungry. She has arranged her hours for meals to be as follows: Breakfast, 8 to 11 a.m., and dinner from 1:30 to 7 p. m. on Sundays, while during the week you can get your dinner from 4 to 8 and breakfast from 7 to 11. You are invited to call to-day and Sunday and see for yourself. See her ad elsewhere. A Natural Question. "How long have you been married?" "This time, or altogether?"—Detroit Free Press could not be broken, but it was with the greatest difficulty that one could move. Cheer after cheer was given, and shake after shake of hands was also passed out to the crowd until he finally reached his auto, and amid the boom of rockets and foghorns he was whirled away to the Northwest station, only to meet a greater and more dense crowd. Before leaving for the West Jack bought his mother a 50 horsepower THE BYRON TROUBADOURS MAKING GOOD IN WEST Praises The Defender and Urges Our Young Men to Learn Farming and Go West. BY HERBERT H. BYRON. Mr. R. S. Abbot, Editor The Chicago Defender, Chicago, Ill., Dear Sir: Sandpoint, Idaho, April 22—Just a line to let you know that although I am quite a distance from Chicago (the land of the free and the home of the Chicago Defender), I still recall with pleasure many pleasant moments I have spent in the old city, and that even though I am nearly 1,500 miles from there, the distance only lends enchantment and brings longing in the hearts of us all to be among our many friends once again. Your most valuable paper is sent us once in a while and it is one of the most thorough mediums by which we receive all the news of the great city. Were it not for the Defender I am sure our stay out in the west would be anything but agreeable. The opportunities for the Negro out this way are great, plenty of land and more money, and if the right ones would only try this part of the country out I am sure their efforts would be met with success and convince all concerned that we are capable of working hard and saving some of the earnings. When the Negro wakes up and realizes that there is money other places besides in the cities, then his financial success will begin. There are acres and acres of land out in the west that only need the proper people to work them and when you will note that from 60 to 70 bushels of wheat, from 150 to 200 bushels of potatoes (like cut) and 200 bushels of apples are produced per acre you can imagine what one would realize from a farm of 400 acres. In Montana, North Dakota, Idaho and Washington land is "yours for the asking," the government begging people to come out this way.

On last Saturday evening, while Miss Frankie sat in the hotel parlor playing "I Hear Footsteps at the Door," and "Home Ain't Nothing Like This," a bold burglar sat in the hallway singing a beautiful tenor and working with his screw driver on the telephone coin box. Miss Frankie began singing by this time, "I Don't Care If You Never Come Back," which was also joined in by the burglar, but his voice down as he shut the front door. Mrs. Washington coming up from super from the cafe in the basement, which has just changed hands, thought of calling a friend, when the operator said, "Drop a nickel, please!" Placing same where she usually does, it fell to the floor. She then discovered the polite gent, who asked for a boarder as he passed through the basement to the parlor floor, and who sang so sweetly with Miss Frankie Drake was the robber. Mrs. Washington falted, but revived when she heard the reporters of The Defender were after the rude intruder. From now on 3252 Wabash avenue will have a special guard at the telephone booth, it is said. Free Handed. Club Walter (fishing)—I dreamed last night, sir, that you gave me a sovereign.

Wise men study to avoid the evils and partake of the pleasures of wisdom. No, Cordella, a cowcatcher isn't necessarily a cowboy. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Jones of 6641 Evans avenue returned home on April 9th from a three weeks' visit in Houston, Texas as the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Chas. A. Jackson. The Houstonians proved beyond all doubt that they were equal to every emergency when it comes to entertaining. It was one continuous round of social outbursts during Mr. and Mrs. Jones' stay. Sightseeing. Sunday services at the various churches and evening parties. They were the guests of Dr. and Mrs. T. V. Overton at an evening affair, a course dinner at Mr. and Mrs. Elita's, a luncheon at Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Hendricks, a pretty party given by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Gilmore, also by Dr. and Mrs. Chas. Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. N. V. Nelson and Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Perry. Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore also gave a fishing party to Deepwater. This was an eighteen mile drive by daylight and a return by moonlight. Mr. and Mrs. Jones, like others in the party, failed to demonstrate their ability with the rod and reel, but oh! the crabs, and they were boiled on the spot, which was highly enjoyed by the Chicagoans. A litting elimax to Mr. and Mrs. Jones' stay was a trip to the sea wall city, Galveston, by Mr. and Mrs. Jackson. Mr. and Mrs. Jones will always remember their first southern trip as one of the most pleasant trips of their Life. ACTIVITIES OF THE PHYSICIANS, DENTISTS AND PHARMA- CISTS' ASSOCIATION. By invitation the association held a public health meeting at Herman Baptist church Sunday afternoon, April 17. Appropriate addresses were made by Dr. E. S. Miller, A. B. Williams and J. W. McDowell. A good crowd was present and the exercises elicited much favorable comment. The association held its first regular monthly meeting at Douglas Center. Fine papers were presented by Dr. H. Reginald Smith on the physicians' side and Ollie Henderson on the dentists' side. The next meeting will be held the first Monday night in May and the monthly lunch con will be served. Sunday, April 24, will be tuberculosis day and the Anti-Tuberculosis Association of America have requested all churches to hold anti-tuberculosis meetings to instruct the people in the prevention and cure of consumption. The association regrets that it has received no invitation to assist in meetings of that kind in our churches. THE TRUE REFORMERS AT WORK.

OF P.'S IN GENERAL INSPECTION. Wednesday evening Assistant Inspector General, Col. Edward Farrell, inspected ten companies of infantry and one troop of cavalry and found the condition of the men 95 per cent good. The 5 per cent lost was in the cavalry where a knock-kneed trooper could not get his feet in the stirrup. Of course there was no more drill or inspection. Brigadier General J. M. Lawrence and his full staff were out and complimented the men on their neat appearance. The reporter for the Defender was a guest of the staff during the inspection. LOUD TALKING IN THE PEKIN. During the week at the Pekin Theater some of our citizens who claim to be so refined and up-to-date certainly showed how they were raised. While the great Albini was trying to explain his work there was so much loud talking that he was forced to ask them to quit, and strange to say, that these same people will go to the Illinois, Grand or Lyric a in, order to get their mouths open one would have to use a crow-bar. Why is it then, in a house managed and controlled like the Pekin is, such disgraceful scenes must occur? We are sure it's not a hog-pen; why not respect it? We rather think it is our newcomers to the city who think they are at a camp meeting. State of I ss. CHRUCIT C Leland t ment Age Chicago Frank !

A Boston sportsman who has just returned from the Maine woods tells of an incident which happened in one of the small country stores in the Pine Tree state. Laid up with a cold one day, and consequently forced to remain indoors, the hunter went to the village store in search of something to read. Robert Browning he held as his favorite author, so he promptly asked the rather elderly shopkeeper to look over his shelves and see if he had Browning's works among a small array of books tucked away in an obscure corner. "Nope," replied the storeman, running over his shelves, "we got blueing, blacking, and whiting, but I don't see no browning anywhere."—Boston Herald.

The enumerators will wear a badge inscribed "United States Census, 1910." The law requires every adult person to furnish the prescribed information, but also provides that it shall be treated confidentially, so that no injury can come to any person from answering the questions. The enumerators, prior to April 15, will distribute to every family a blank or schedule. This should be filled up by the head of the family. It should, if possible, be done not later than the morning of April 15, but if any one has been unable to fill it up by that time, he should do it as soon afterwards as he can. People who do not speak English, or who do not understand the schedule completely, should get help from others, if possible, in filling it up. The President has issued a proclamation, calling on all citizens to cooperate in the census and assuring them that it has nothing to do with taxation, army or jury service, compulsory school attendance, regulation of immigration, or enforcement of any law, and that no one can be injured by answering the inquiries. It is of the utmost importance that the census be complete and correct. Therefore the head of every family should promptly, fully and accurately fill up the family "schedule" before it is called for by the enumerator. FOUR AMERICAN BEAUTIES.

The Census Bureau Intends Introducing An Innovation In Census-taking Methods Here. The advance schedule will also undoubtedly prove of great assistance to the enumerators. It will enable them to perform the enumeration accurately, and will lessen the number of cases involving repeated calls by them. It is the intention of the census authorities of this auxiliary method of production to certain of the large cities which, in the past, have contained the greater number of passive heads of families. The census "family" printed on the back of each schedule, Census Director Durand stars: "In accordance with the net of Congress and the enumeration of the population of the United States, you will begin on April 15. An enumerator will call at your house, or apartment, for information concerning the persons belonging to your household. It is necessary that you should prepare the information for each member of your household and prepare it to the enumerator when you call. By doing this you will not only aid greatly in the work of securing an accurate enumeration, but you will also save yourself much trouble, since if you do not do so, a great deal of your time will unavailably be taken by the enumerator, securing the information you several times. --- Reading from left to right is Mines, Virginia Green, Fannie Williams (wife of the proprietor), A.

It is pointed out by the Census Bureau that the dwelling house and their beseeching house are to be returned as separate families. All the occupants and employees of a boarding house, or lodging house, if that house is to be made up for, forensus purposes, a single family, but in an apartment or terrace, even though use may be made of the same family as many families as there are separate occupied apartments or rooms, even though use may be made of the same family and the store as his dwelling place.

In Any Society It Is Well to Do as the Rest Do. The young wife of the new professor came downstairs and paused, as if to turn back, at the very threshold of the parlor. The next instant she advanced toward the group of "faculty ladies" who had been invited to meet her at a formal luncheon in the home of the university president. She was a slight figure in soft browns, with big, interested eyes—a Western girl suddenly transplanted to a far Eastern circle. Apparently unconscious of the fact that every other guest in the room wore an elaborate hat while her own head was quite uncovered, she went bravely through the presentations. Then, turning to her hostess with a half-appealing, wholly charming smile, she said, simply: "I ought to have kept on my hat, Mrs. Blount." "It's not of the slightest consequence, my dear Mrs. Tyson," was the gracious answer. "You and I will be company for each other." Before that party dispersed it had dawned upon the most superficial woman there that the incident was a trifle. At subsequent luncheons, it need not be said, the newcomer's costume met accepted requirements, but her popularity really began that day when, with deference to others and perfect self-respect, she smilingly proved that she was mistress rather than slave of conventionality. There was another luncheon, given in a certain college circle where fashion may occasionally lag, but intellectual progress never. The guest of honor, who happened to hail from New York City, found herself the only person wearing a hat, and her hostess, noticing the situation in time, offered her an opportunity to "do as the Romans." "Yes, but I'll keep it on, thank you," was the unlooked-for reply. "I'm doing the proper thing; why should I change?" The result, absurd as it seems, was a marked constraint throughout the luncheon. "I was ashamed to think that we couldn't rise superior to that hat," said one of the ladies afterward, "but somehow the fact of her wearing it, under the circumstances, prejudiced every one of us against her. It did give me one useful idea, though. Since then, whenever I find myself—and it often happens—less up-to-date in any respect than any other woman. I just reflect comfortably that it's going to be far easier for her to forgive, and love me still, than if I had managed to outdo her. It really helps, you know, if one can keep it in mind."—Youth's Companion. German electrical workers increased from 26,000, in 1895, to 125,000, in 1908.

Some skating and some dapo ing, so I came to the conclusion that the Chateau is the only live place of amusement in the city. I advise all to visit it and be convinced.

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 soapleate. 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. Rejuvenating the cellular elements and thereby bringing back the youthful appearance. Full directions on every bottle. Ask your drugist for THE ELITE FACE CREAM and take no other. Manufactured by E.

David Soskice writes in McClure's Magazine of the horrors of the Schlueselburg. Russia's political prison. "Grachevsky, unable to stand his life any longer," says he, "struck a guard in order to be executed. But the commandant of the fortress declared him to be insane and therefore exempt from punishment. "Then,' said Grachevsky, 'it remains for me but to kill myself.' He was taken to the 'stable' and kept there under most vigilant watch. "One night,' related Ludmilla Volkenstein, 'a terrible, inhuman shriek was heard. Footsteps hurried toward Grachevsky's cell. Feeble groans followed, and it was evident that something terrible had happened to him. Smoke and the smell of burnt clothing and flesh pervaded the building and hung about it till the following day. We then knew that Grachevsky had burnt himself alive. He had soaked his clothes and bedding with the oil from the little night lamp and, rolling himself up in his blanket, had set it on fire. For several days beforehand he had disarmed the suspicions of his guards by exceedingly rational behavior, so that they had relaxed their watchfulness a little and enabled him to commit the dreadful deed." Alexander Irvine, the author of "From the Bottom Up," began life in an Irish village, where he peddled newspapers, worked as a scarecrow in the potato fields, and then as a helper in a coal pit in Scotland. Mr. Irvine became a soldier in order to learn to read. He fought in the Sudan, being decorated by Queen Victoria, and served on a British man-o-war in the Mediterranean. Eventually he reached Oxford to study under Jowett. Mr. Irvine came as an immigrant to New York, where his experiences were diverse and full of human interest. He became a missionary among the "down and outs" of the Bowery and to-day is a lay minister of the Church of the Ascension.

Notwithstanding Monday afternoon blew up cool and dusty with clouds from overcast skies, the school developed is rainy evening, the much betterabled young team of big time vaudeville stars as King and Bailey made their first appearance later. April 11 to a full house. These two actors are supported by four girls known from a few weeks ago at the American Music Hall; music all under the management of George Archer. This vaudeville skit, which applauds a few weeks ago at the American Music Hall; dance all under the management of George Archer. After the girls have emerged from the wings, the two stars enter in a concert act, which is based on shingles dancing, except a short dialogue which concludes handle with considerable skill. Engine King is a low comedian whose droolery is easy and natural is also a singing number and protein work is especially graceful and fun-provoking. Lee Bailey was also artistically skilful, but his dialogue was lost in too much rapidity where his articulation should be more precise. His good method of rendering a song is also marked by the same tech- A. B. mied graduation which in his speech he must make haste to control in avoidance of excess of labor. And again, Mr. Bailley, who is often young man, does not at all times show up in facial expression upon the stuge and should therefore keep his eyes wide open, to ensure that the exactions for the future goal of these, the develpment of the present parturial signature, $^4$ to go farther to say that you, a young man, who were once pleasing to children, will be develpment of the present childish ways which, with their present amount of generous stage experience, can easily be developed into a more matured man, who will be pleasing to children, will check the speed of labor and wear, so disgustrous to many. Perhaps it will be more interesting to know that by develpment such Bailey as performers, he to make it so that the position of becoming comedy stars than any other young team of actors of their choice, when their manager will be good enough to as it will be too much in the future for colored stars to write, compose and stage their own productions; it will be in those days for them to get to the front, much less to do anything else. The girls were clever singers and dancers, who good support to King and Bailey, who made the house screen and took six encores. Flourmoy (Honey) Miller and Aubrey Lyles made their first appearance on the show in the Majestic Theater last week. The theater last week was a poor bill Miller and Lyles had a chance to shine even at half past 7. These two actors, who have met with encouragement, have also improved in their act, as was seen by the extension of their comedy at the Majestic and although the stage environment somewhat different from what they had been accustomed to, it put them to their wits' end to find a winning spot. They were in a strange atmosphere, a obnoxious which they found when Miller said something about a boulevard, which their entrance, which should have been longer and sung alternately each time to create comedy before entering into the audience, which should have been vicious. Following the dialogue, which taxed their memory, a burlesque fight was all that could be desired in the finish of any anywhere, Miller and Lyles are the young farce-comedy playwrights, and in view of their future work and the good that recent criticisms have done for them, their every chance of success be looked upon with growing interest. There were changes in the bill which was to be presented on Monday evening at the Grand. Besides a good comedy of dancers, one a white boy who danced a giddy girl character to perfection, there were also two popular colored acts, Walker and Brown, novel sketch team, and Clus. With a good closing act which captivated the Monagram was headed by Kelley and Cattin, the famous Negro and Chinese chaperone in an abundant commotion of laughter. The Griffin sisters also pleased, as did Joe Simms, the monologue specialist. Makam Anna Cook Punkey, it is said, was ill on her arrival from the West. A physician had to be called and she was married to a friend, husband, Theodore Tankey, says that it may be possible that their engagement at the Pekin may have to be cancelled next week. The Georgia Cammers, with Clarence Bowens, made such a bit at the American Muscle Hall that comment at present will be unnecessary. The date which I had expected to secure for Madam Fairfax at Quinn Chapel now rumor has it that she has been made three offers to appear in vaudeville. it is encouraging to note that there has already been signs of improvement among the colored actors in Chicago in many ways that the actors outlive do progress they must seek to be cordial and mindful of managers, booking agents and newspaper correspondents. While actors are not excused from this, it is to their advantage to deal in all times cautiously with them. The continual report which we regret comes from CinemaTown that actors are robbed by re-entering the theater, is an outrage and it is up to the booking agents to put an end to such a proceeding. If not, it will be the duty of the actors to give notice to the booking agents that they will not play the house. Manager Motts, who is now booking with the vaudeville association and playing first on the big time, will enable us to see all the best performers without a trip downtown. Mr. Motts has been exercising considerable scrutiny of ates which which have relations with colored performers. He caters much at present to white people, and when he gets down to the equal basis of color relations with black and his audiences are colored, he will find repose in the public approval of to-morrow. But Mr. Motts has thus far outstretched his powers, especially in Monogram in the proximity of a racial amusement problem. Bolsterousness and defiance of public sentiment will not add a small moving picture toense, especially in the theater, but to caterer. To treat actors with civility and to give the public a good moral show will be the first judgments of success and news that may at this writing look upon as a burden and a care, but new profers indicate that side money like in politics, must soon be the theater where lots of the public express Evening American, or some other colored) newspaper that will deliver the goods and employ the writer whom the theater will help and to boom them in their business. The kingdom of Wurtenberg has the credit of arranging a most interesting exhibition of inventions and patents, a St. Louis 'Globe-Democrat Stuttgart correspondent says. The spacious building in Stuttgart occupied by the 1,500 exhibits does not contain any revolutionary or epoch-making inventions. But the exhibition is none the less interesting, because it deals with everyday life and the improvements in existing articles and utensils treated from a practical point of view. Introduced into daily life they will be time and labor saving. Thus, for instance, a fruit gatherer is attached to a pole and armed with cutting teeth and a small bag into which the fruit slides. A new simple contrivance for tightening wires is so very simple that it is surprising no one ever thought of it before. A modified beehive, with a special method for automatic ventilation, will be a welcome addition to the aplarist's collection of hives, and farmers' wives will hall with delight an egg-carrying box, fitted up with wire frames, thus doing away with the use of sawdust. The furniture section is one of the best. Roll-top desks that can be transformed instantaneously into ordinary writing tables; sofas composed of less than three beds, etc. In the mechanical division are some ingenious inventions. There is a double sliding factory door that opens and closes from left to right automatically; as soon as a trolley, cart or person approaches it its weight throws the door open, and when it has passed through its own weight closes it. A teacher of physics has invented for educational purposes a model turbine and dynamo worked by an ordinary schoolroom tap. But perhaps the most striking invention is a new motor worked by steam, air or gases without piston. One of the rooms contains gigantic models of airships, portable airship halls, etc. In the same room are illustrations of a new submarine. An air of friendliness pervades the place, and visitors are far removed from the stiff autocracy of Prussian red-tapham. This, as a matter of fact, is the great charm of the exhibition.

Possibility of error is greatest in the crops for 1909, as the farmer moves on to his land in 1910. This may be due to the crops for 1909 from the farmer who crops for 1909 from the farmer who the successor about his turn ought to tell his successor about his turn on the farm which he cultivated in 1909. 5. Trade definition of a farm—as the land, if under the personal director of the farmer. The advocacy of keeping farm records for constus purposes is one which will give us a better understanding of the matter of keeping accounts.

D., pastor. Last Sunday was another great day in Zion, several were fellowshiped in full membership of the church while others identified themselves with the church for the first time. Preaching service will be the order of worship every Wednesday evening from now until the annual conference in June, as was announced by the pastor last Sunday. The choir sang beautifully and the services were considered rich and wholesome by the many worshipers while many were made to rejoice. The church is making great preparations for their grand rally on the fourth Sunday, April 24. Several pastors of the city and their choirs and congregations will participate with them some time during the day, as there will be services of a religious nature every hour of the day. The public is given a cordial invitation to all of the services which commence at 5:30 a. m. in the morning with a union prayer and praise service, followed by an "old fashioned" love feast at 10 o'clock a. m. The class meetings are manifesting unusual interest now and many can be seen wending their way to the church on Friday night which is their weekly class night. The pastor, Dr. Colbert, preached a good and uplifting sermon last Sunday on the "Two Characters." Many were heard to say it was grand. Both choirs will sing again next Sunday night. The gospel choir is being trained by Mrs. Colbert, the pastor's wife, who seems to manifest much interest with this young but useful choir. One will not fall to be benefited who attends the services at the church now. Good preaching and singing of the gospel is the order of the day.
