The Man the Negroes of Illinois Should or Must Have on the Superior Court Bench. Help to Nominate Him at the Primaries and Elect Him at the Head of His Ticket, He Knows No Color Line, Nor Has He Any Race Prejudice—The Defender Wants Him for Our Next Judge. By Special Correspondent of Chicago Defender Mr. Hynnie R. Pearson, for a number of years one of the Thirty-fifth Ward's respected citizens, having received the endorsement of the regular Thirty-fifth Ward Republican organization for Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County, has announced his candidacy for the nomination, to be made at the Republican primary election next September. Mr. Pearson has been a resident of Chicago nearly all his life. He was HAYNIE R. PEARSON. born in Springfield, Ill., forty-four years ago, and was the only son of the late General Robert N. Pearson, a veteran of the Civil War. He was educated in the public schools of Chicago and at Middlebury College, Vermont, and also took the course in law at the University of Michigan; was admitted to the bar in 1889, and has been in active practice ever since. In 1892 he was selected by the Hon. Orrin N. Carter, now one of the Justices of the Supreme Court of this State, as one of the attorneys for the Drainage Board, of which Justice Carter was then the attorney. In 1893 he was appointed trial Assistant State's Attorney by the then State's Attorney, Mr. Jacob J. Kern. He served through Mr. Kern's administration, and in 1858, when Governor Deneen was elected State's Attorney, he retained M., Pearson in office on his record and made him his chief trial assistant. This position he held for four years and a half, when he resigned and entered upon the general practice of the law, in which he has been most successful. During the time he was in the State's Attorney's office he conducted many important prosecutions, and had the distinction of having prosecuted --- more men sentenced to death than any other prosecutor in this country, before or since. In 1898, when Mr. Frank J. Loesch was appointed Special State's Attorney, Mr. Pearson was chosen as Mr. Loesch's chief assistant. Mr. Pearson is an active member of the Chicago Bar Association, the Illinois State Bar Association and also of the American Bar Association. He is a member of St. Martin's Episcopal Church, and has but recently been elected for the third year its senior warden. He was instrumental in the organizing and forming of the Men's Club of St. Martin's Church, an organization which is strictly nonseriatric and non-political, and which has the largest active membership of any men's club of its kind in this country. He is also an officer and director of the Church Club of Chicago, a member of the Hamilton Club, the Michigan Alumni Association, Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, the Loyal Legion and Army of Tennessee by inheritance. He has always commanded a good practice and has never sought an elective office. Although a Republican in party politics, he has never taken a very active part in politics, except locally.

FIGHT NO RACE ISSUE Georgia's White Skunk, Who Offered Scalp of Colored Man He Murdered, Will Not Be Permitted at Ring Side. BY JACKSON J. STOVALL. The sporting world is all agog over the Johnson and Jeffries Battle, schedule for Monday afternoon, July 4, at Reno, Nevada. The public will undoubtedly witness the battle of the century, when these two greatest pugilistic celebrities the world has ever known respond to the call of time. If the reports from the training camps of each man can be relied upon both are fit physically and ready for the struggle. Now that Governor Dickerson of Nevada has stated emphatically that he will not interfere with the battle, despite the thousands of petitions he is in receipt of requesting him to stop the proceedings, it seems more possible than probable that on the arid plains of the Sage Brush state the white man and Negro will settle the mooted question of supremacy. There have been many sensational battles staged throughout the universe since the manly art of self-defence became a vogue. But all other pugilistic championship battles herefore pale into insignificance, so to speak, in comparison to the present Johnson and Jeffries struggle. What has Jack Johnson done? Since Jack Johnson affixed his signature to articles of agreement binding a match with the former champion, the question has risen from time to time, and is being freely discussed by many at the present date: What has Jack Johnson done during his pugilistic career to concede him a chance in the coming battle with the mighty Jim Jeffries? I will answer the question by asking another before replying to the same. Why was Peter Jackson never world's champion? The marvelous black from the Antipodes, in the zenith of his career, was conceded by leading scribes in pugilism, as the greatest combination of boxer and fighter that the world had ever known. He defeated Frank Slavin in London May 30, 1992, for the championship of England and Australia. Jackson then became the lion of the British sports. His brilliant victories throughout his eventful career, put him in a class pugilistically, by him. Arthur Johnson, who will defeat Jas. Jeffries on July 4 and retain his title in a fierce 32-round battle. Arthur Johnson, who will defeat Jas. Joffries on July 4 and retain his title in a fierce 32-round battle. self. Backed by his European friends he challenged John L. Sullivan to do battle for the world's championship, and a side wager, but was turned down with mock defiance by the champion, who would in all probability have fell victim to his prowess. By showing his real form Jackson robbed himself of the opportunity to become the champion of the world. Johnson was never forced to extend himself. That Jack Johnson has shown rare business tact, pugilistically, cannot be denied. He had shown his true form the laurels of champion would never have rested on his sable brow. For several years heretofore he realized his superiority over his competitors in his respective vocation. Knowing that his color would be a barrier to him in reaching the coveted goal of his ambition, if he performed too brilliantly, hence he fought his battles systematically. Johnson, being a past master of feints and guards, his exceptional cleverness, great speed and almost impenetrable defense, enabled him to wage battle the full limit of schedule rounds, winning by a narrow margin, whereas a quick victory over his opponents would have put his future interests in jeopardy. Hence the public was misled as to his real form. Johnson, a real champion. Nowhere in prize ring history is there recorded an incident of pluck, patience and perseverance that compares favorably with Johnson's quest for the championship. His chase for the goal of his ambition is without parallel in the annals of the game. After a chase across the continent on both sides of the Atlantic, backed by public sentiment, he secured a match with former Champion Burns. In faraway Australia, on the morning of December 26, 1908, Jack Johnson's name was recorded in pugilistic history, the first Negro heavy weight champion in the annals of the game. Summing up the merits of both men as fighters and expressing my opinion from an unbiased point of view, I can only see the result of the meeting between the two as follows: When the smoke of the battle clears away, so to speak, and when the din of mingled cheers and groans have died away in the atmosphere, there will be deep mourning throughout the domains of Uncle Sam over Jeffries' inability to return the pugilistic scaper to the Caucasian race. MR. HENRY JOHNSON IN CITY Jack Johnson's brother, Henry, arrived in the city on Saturday last from Galveston, and on yesterday his foster brother, Charles Hurley, an orphan boy Mrs. Johnson raised from one and a half years old. They will live at their homes, 3344 Wabush avenue. The boys like Chicago all right. THE PEKIN TRIO LEAVE FOR RENO. To Play and Sing in Ring The Pekin Trio, which is composed of Messrs. Samuel Arnold, manager; Clarence Duncan, Wm. Cole, assisted by Mrs. C. H. Young, late of Williams and Walker, left on Wednesday evening for Reno to entertain the audience which will gather to see the greatest fight that has ever been fought in the world. They will play for twenty minutes before the gladiators enter the arena, after which they will retire to DOORS OPEN AT 1 It is well known that the people of Suter Bay district are anxious to have a white regiment stationed at Fort Lawton because of the social good time that is theirs when the fort is filled with only white soldiers.

Chicago will be afforded an opportunity next Monday to witness the Jeffries-Johnson fight at the Coliseum. The Northern Amusement Company will reproduce gigantic illuminated electrical figures of the fighters on a board 15x24 feet. Every blow struck will be reproduced the same time it occurs at Reno. Should either of the fighters be knocked down, the board immediately shows the fall by an illuminated figure, as the same instant the name of the striker is illuminated directly above the contestant, and also the words "knocked down" are flashed—then commences the referee's count, indicated by electric lighted numerals, as long as the man is on the mat. Should one of the fighters be "knocked out" the work "knockout" appears—also the name of the winner. Should there be a foul, draw or referee's decision, the same is instantly reproduced. In case of a clinch, this feature will be promptly shown, together with the name of the man forced to clinch. There will also be ample entertainment furnished during intermissions by wrestling bouts and up-to-date concert music. The main feature of the wrestling bouts will be a finish match between Leo Pardello and Jim Galvin, old-time rivals. They have met four times, each winning two matches. This match will be the deciding one. There will be other wrestling bouts to keep the crowd amused before and during intermissions. PRAISE FOR THE CHICAGO DEFENDER New Hotel Brevoort, July 1, 1910. The Chicago Defender: Gentlemen—After a careful looking over the many colored 'journals in the city, we have reached the conclusion that the Defender far surpasses all the others in point of news and postoffice standing.

A number of graduates, former students and teachers of Tuskegee, met last Sunday and formed a temporary organization, to be known as the Chicago Tuskegee-Alumni Association. A splendid meeting was enjoyed. Permanent organization will be effected at the next meeting, Sunday, July 10th, at 3638 Vernon avenue. All ex-students and teachers are invited. Monday afternoon Col. Miller the prisoners lined up and made to the adjutant's office to be identified by Mrs. Sedding's daughters Eva and Ethel, age, respectively, 9 and 11. Eva did not identify the man at all. The detective who had visited the guard house Sunday told Ethel that the third man in the ranks from the left was away from the fort all Saturday night, and to say that he was the assailant. Col. Miller finally went along the line and laid his hand upon the third man's right shoulder and asked Ethel if she recognized the man. In the meantime the detective, by a sight, told Ethel to say yes. Tuesday the eight were taken before Mrs. Sedding again at her residence. Col. Miller formed the line just as at the adjutant's office and Mrs. Sedding came for the fourth attempt to justify the man. Before she came out that same detective pointed out through the window the man who had been off all Saturday night and advised her to say that he was the man wanted. She was very positive about the man, although this was the fourth time that she had tried to identify him. The colored soldiers of the 25th Infantry have been noted for good behavior ever since stationed here. Mr. E. E. Eager, U. S. detective of twenty years in that section, declares his belief in the colored soldier's innocence. It has been clearly demonstrated that Mrs. Sedding was paid to make the display in order to have the colored soldiers removed and white returned. Majs, C. W. Penrose, Morrow, Capts. Albright, Lyons, Shafer, Sanford, Donnes, Dockey, Lieuts. Hawood, Lawrence, Palin and Leviett frankly state that they do not believe Private Nathaniel Bledsoe guilty of an attack upon Madame Sedding and that they do believe the men in this command too self-respecting and intelligent, for such an act. Col. Miller and Lient. Bennett only believe him guilty. Lient. Bennett, Co. B, said the soldier should be lynched. Such a man is not fit to be a commissioned officer in com- of respectable, intelligent men. #D. _ eau.

Greatest Gold Country. ‘The largest gold-producing country Is the ‘Transvaal, where the output in- creased from $8,000,000 In 1889 to $153,000.00 in 1907, The increase in the production of the Transvaal mines made during the sear 107 almost mated the entire production of the xold fields in Alaska.

Duquesne in Travel Magazine, A man marries all the women he eas pay for, the women, of course, having one hus- band. To be correct, the females are monandrie and the males are poly: gamous. To break the marriage vow means death. The. man has his hut in an Inclosure surrounded by the huts of his wives. Unmarried men are looked upon as worthless, A man Is important only in proportion to the number of his wives. So there fs not much sinx‘e blessedness in this part of Africa. When a man wants a wife he must ap- proach her nearest relatives and offer as many cows, goats and skins as lis thinks ‘her beanty demands. If the father Is satisfied the gicl, without forther ceremony, goes to the home of her busband. Often the price is ratsed or Jowered on the bargaining system and on promises which are always Kept. Of course, it ig no flattery to 2 young woman to have one goat offer: ed for her, since a Kavirondo belle brings as many as six oxen, In war time the women accompany their husbands to the front and ara even fiercer in battle than tho men. ‘They practice eantbalism and eat the slain—thelr own as well as those of the enemy.

Hurrah for—oh, well, The deuce with John L. We plan Jack Johnson's the man. Hurrah for the town. Old Reno's the ground; Let's weep Over Jeff's coming sleep. SYLVESTER RUSSELL The Fourth will be a hot one. On to Baltimore! is the cry of the Odd Fellows. It may be too much Johnson by the morning of the 5th. Well, Jack, old boy, you are up against the real thing. The Fourth in 1775 must have been interesting, though not in being, judging from this one's, the interests at stake. Our daily papers are trying to discourage the Jack Johnson backers, but don't you mind what they say; use your own judgment. Jack Johnson promised The Defender to bring the championship belt to Chicago. He says he likes Chicago to have the first and best of all things. Miss Georgia White, 19 East 28th street, who worked hard to make the Quinn Chapel bazaar a success, must have been surprised when she saw the report in a local paper of what all was done and did not see her name. We are sure there must have been some mistake on the part of the committee that had the publication done. It would not have been done intentionally, we are sure, for she worked hard for the success, and to our mind her efforts were more strenuous than many a one who got the golden plum. THE NEGRO IN THE TENTH PLACE. We are glad to know that the Negroes in the tenth place in the (in)sane Fourth of July parade are not those who represent that young progressive class, that class that represent our colleges, that class that represent our business and professional side; but they are the class that the South is preparing to raise a monument to, the "Good Nigger," the Uncle Tom's class, if you please, who by their lack of education they cannot rise beyond the scope of an errand boy to answer the bells or raps of a man and who would die for him because of the fact they have no hopes, and if they had, their lack of training would prevent them from hoping. It is that class of Negroes that our big dailies would write hair-raising editorials on, like "Peter, the Unafraid," but when it comes to a man with brains, like F. L. Barnett, they would print a cartoon of an entire court, from Judge to police officer, in the form of the ignorant classes of Negroes, and ask the intelligent classes of voters would they stand for that kind of a Judge. . . . The English, you know, say the same thing about the Irish; they still have representation in Parliament, while here in America in our great Congress the Negro is forced to have a WHITE man (not a man) to represent him. --- This is Independence Day, and our government and those who in it is, let it be understood from now on that this is our strike for independence, and if we fall first, as did that Negro on Boston Common in 1775, we mean to march first, before any foreigners, for the sacred memory of Crispus Attucks. Should you see a bunch of "Niggers" marching among foreigners with one flag (American), remember they are that Uncle Tom's class; but we who represent George Harris have made a break, for liberty, and we will win, just as George did. No Jim Crow place for us, when we stood first in every war that this country has ever engaged in; then another thing—we are in Chicago, freer than Boston, as free as any city the English flag floats over, the only city in America where the intelligent Negro has a chance to --- use his intelligence. It is utterly impossible for we, the educated classes, to stand for a Tenth place as a race, and those of the race who will be hauled on the float asleep on a bale of cotton will not be our representatives, and for the sake of the Fourth of July and our unborn generations, we the educated classes, protest. BEAR HUNT IN JAPAN. Battle with Brain Resulted in the Death of a Hunter. It happened on the 18th ult., shortly before sunset, that some surveyors accompanied by laborers were still surveying a field at Uyenai in Esashi-gun, Hokkaloal. While engaged in this work, says the Hakkaido correspondent of the Japan Advertiser, a bear made its appearance from a cave near by, and, ambling threatening toward the party, sprang upon one of the workmen who was in the act of running away. The man escaped with lacerated arm and the bear was left victor, the field being cleared of its human occupants in a remarkably brief space of time. The incident came to the knowledge of some local Nimrods and some days later Bruin was tracked to his lair. One of the gallant hunters fired, but there was something wrong with his gun. Unfortunately it went off in a rather irregular way, the gun being rusty and the powder damp. All these things, however, only served to enrage Bruin, which attacked his enemies. The other hunters took the opportunity when the bear's attention was centered upon his companion and fired his gun, but this weapon, too, was useless. The bear apparently now had both men at his mercy and in a short time they were lying seemingly lifeless and mangled on the ground. A passing mail car carried the vanquished hunters to the nearest village where one of the men seems to be on the way to recovery under treatment, but the other died of his wounds. THE FAMILY DOCTOR Disorders of the Stomach. The stomach, like all the other organs of the body, is subject not only to various forms of organic trouble, but also to many kinds of functional disorder, or neurosis. In these nervous disturbances of the stomach pain may be just as severe and the list of symptoms just as long and as trying as in true organic disease, and it is often impossible to convince the victim that he is not suffering from some terrible local disorder calling for immediate operation. The stomach is usually a somewhat abused organ. It works hard, generally overtime, and often at tasks extremely distasteful to it. Small wonder, then, that it sometimes goes on strike. When it decides to do this, the weapons it controls with which to boycott and intimidate the rest of the system are most efficient. In times of normal health we are no more conscious of the tremendous conmunition and toll going on in the stomach than the passengers on a sunny deck are conscious of the trials of the engine room below them; but when the stomach has stood all it is going to for the present, it telephones the brain to that effect, with the immediate result that the whole consciousness is flooded with the misery resulting from its rebellion. The visible signs of this rebellion are myriad. Among the most usual of them may be mentioned nausea and vomiting, eructations that are sometimes so acid that the very throat is scalded, disagreeable sensations after eating, that range from discomfort to agony; and naturally in time a general "run-down condition" of the system. When it can be proved that this state of affairs is traceable to abuse of the stomach, the treatment becomes a comparatively simple matter; but in many cases of so-called "nervous dyspepsia" the trouble will be found to be a fault of the nervous system, the stomach itself showing no sign of disease, but simply suffering from faulty nervous control, just as any other organ of the body may. This diagnosis, however, will be of little comfort to the patient so long as his stomach is made the vicarious culprit for the guilty nervous system. When the trouble arises from causes that can be easily controlled, such as improper food, hasty eating, irregular meals, insufficient mastication, the cure lies largely in the hands of the patient himself. The small boy who heard his father pronounce a eulogy on a statesman said: "Father says Mr. Blank has intelligence, tact and honesty, and also abdominal courage." This is a form of valor far too prevalent, and this is the kind that should be tempered with discretion. —Youth's Companion. A.

"No, sir; I never went to Chicago." "Didn't Snyder go?" "Yes, sir." "And you were with him. Now, out with it." "Yes, sir," answered the witness after a pause.

It is a principle in law that a man is innocent until proved guilty. It is a principle in business that a sales claim is false or exaggerated until it is proved conservative and true.

The Ways and Means and the Missionary Societies of Grace Presbyterian Church gave one of the grandest concerts they have ever given this year on Tuesday. The audience resembled one big flower garden. The ladies could not look sweeter, even at the wedding, and they enjoyed the concert from start to finish. All present expressed themselves pleased and proved it by eating forty gallons of ice cream and about thirty real home made cakes. The program was carried out to the letter. The following is the program as rendered: PROGRAM Quartette, "Doan Ye Cry Ma Honey" (Smith), Messrs. Cornelius W. Pierce, Charles W. Pierce, J. E. Oldham, J. W.

FORESTERS IN HOT ELECTION. Monday evening, with the mercury at 88 23 degrees, with thirty气 jet gels in full blast and with 100 extra chairs in the hall, members of Court General Robert Elliott, No. 7895, were out in force to do honor to, it seems, one man, Dr. W. H. Marshall. Rumor got out that he was to be debroned, and all the old veterans of the order were out to give a vote to their favorite, and they won, for after they got through the doctor came very near getting the whole lodge votes. Out of a possible 228 he got 215 votes, the largest amount polled for any of the officers elected that night. Even old "drowsy" cast his vote and got over ten to go his way. There was only one bad feature about the election, and that was the time it consumed. It would be far better to use the Australian ballot system and cut the time in order that the men who must make early time may get their proper rest. Of course, at other times the lodge is out by 11 o'clock, with $500 or more dollars worth of business, but this order of things can be done at all times and the officers should see to it that it is done. The following is the list of newly elected officers: C. R. D. D. B. Hawley. unanimous; S. C. R. F. J. Bahb. unanimous; F. S. F. W. Taylor. unanimous; R. S. R. J. Thomasson. Jr.; Treasurer, R. S. Crittenden. unanimous; S. W. F. P. Duncan. unanimous; J. W. W. E. Willson, unanimous; S. B. E. S. Dortch; J. B. J. Judge: Physician, W. H. Marshall. SYLVESTER RUSSELL Warns the Race to Observe a Quiet Fourth. The big mill wheel is turning around and soon the day and hour will arrive when the two greatest gladiators in pugilism will clash and the victory of one, J. Arthur Johnson, will be celebrated by fireworks in the evening. It was especially ordained that the day of independence in the presence of John L. Sullivan, the rascal who first instituted the "color line" and taught Jeffries to make use of it so that he could some day be surprised to find out that there is no color line in true sport, that the fight takes place on the 4th of July. When I originally broke the news a few years ago by stating through the Freeman that "all fighters who draw the color line are cowards." the New York Evening Journal took the matter up and with Richard K. Fox in the Police Gazette broke the Sullivan color, no sense up. Right here I want to request the Negro race "Chicago to please observe a quiet church. Let all the ministers give out from their pulpits on Sunday, at all the barrooms force strict line on Monday. It is not only in advantage of the Negro race serve quiet, peaceful day, but it will add to the dignity of the situation. The Fourth, I tell you, will be a dangerous day, and a very large evening. So let everybody be peaceful, but also brave, and if you are prone to be a wayward sport and a gambler, if but for a single day, bet all your money on Johnson. One Vaughan became drunk and wended his way homeward at the height of inebriety. Arriving there he pulled his wife out of bed, and administered corporal and verbal abuse to her. On the trial she was compelled to testify against him. He was duly convicted of disturbing his wife's peace, for which crime he had been indicted. In State v. Vaughan, 118 Southwestern Reporter, 1186, the Kansas City Court of Appeals, holding the wife incompetent as a witness, remarked that there is no telling. If a wife under such circumstances should be permitted to testify, to where such a course would lead. To permit the more quarrels between husband and wife to be used as a basis for a prosecution, under the protense that the peace of the wife had thereby been disturbed, would be against public policy and unnecessary for the protection of the wife. One insured in a beneficially association indicated his purpose to absent himself from his family for a few days, but from that time nothing was heard of him. For two years following his absence the premiums were paid by his wife. Thereafter an opportunity presented itself to the wife to dispose of her real property for which purpose she secured a divorce that she might convey a good title to the reality. Seven years after the husband's disappearance she instituted an action for the insurance. The association insisted that by bringing the action for divorce she had expressed her belief that her husband lived, and that after she had ceased payments on his certificate she was estopped to assert that he was dead. In Butler v. Supreme Court I, O. F., 101 Pacific Reporter, 481, the Washington Supreme Court decided that the wife was not estopped to assert her husband's death within the two years following his disappearance, as the association could not have been injured by reason of her conduct. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America, a corporation composed exclusively of Caucasians, prayed for an injunction to prevent the use of the name "Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World" by another corporation composed of persons of African descent, and to prevent the use of its badge, emblems, ritual and passwords. Defendant insisted that the rights asserted in the bill were not property rights, and that the wrongs complained of were not such as a court of equity would protect by injunction. In Benevolent & P. O. E. v. Improved Benevolent & B. P. O., 118 Southwestern Reporter, 383, the Tennessee Supreme Court, considering the facts that while plaintiff was not engaged in business for profit, in the sense of commerce and trade, yet it employed certain business activities for the purpose of maintaining itself and to procure funds to carry out the purpose of maintaining itself, and that the name it had acquired and appropriated had become very valuable in the nature of a trade name which had derived great financial business and social value, granted the injunction. Portcour's Tribute to Lister Of all the tributes to the genius of Lord Lister, the discoverer of antiseptic surgery, probably the most touching was that paid to him by Pasteur, the famous French scientist. At a meeting of savants in Paris many years ago Lord Lister was present, and his brilliant achievements were explained to the audience by Pasteur. As he progressed in his speech he became more and more emotional, and at last he was so carried away by his own eloquence that the tears stood in his eyes. Finally he stepped down from the platform, took Lord Lister, who was in the front row of the audience, by both hands, led him back on to the platform and kissed him on both cheeks, after the manner of the French, in full view of the assembly. Few could have looked on unmoved at the great Frenchman's act of homage to the distinguished English surgeon. Effect of the Sun on Monuments. The perpendicularity of a monument is visibly affected by the rays of the sun. On every sunny day a tall monument has a regular swing leading away from the sun. This phenomenon is due to the greater expansion of the side on which the rays of the sun fall. A pendulum placed inside, say, Nelson's column, in Trafalgar square, would be found to describe on every clear day an ellipse of nearly half an inch in diameter.—English Mechanic. The Inventor. "You say he has covered the field of aviation?" "Thoroughly. Every bird that flies infringes on one of his patents."—Louisville Courier-Journal. Every man seems to be trying to work less himself and provide more work for others. --- HUMANITY'S REVOLT AGAINST PROPERTY.

There are many poisons that may be absorbed into the human system, although arsenic is probably more frequently employed in everyday purposes where it of sufficient hydrographic and other data. As west Texas was pioneer in ancient irrigation, so it is in modern, as irrigation along the lines now practiced began to develop first in this section of the State. The first ditch in the vicinity of Del Río was constructed in 1865. On the Pecos one of the present large systems was built in 1875, another in 1887 and another in 1896. It might have been expected that the older systems in the vicinity of El Paso would have suggested earlier extensions under present methods, but work of this character did not become active until about 1889 or 1891. At Fort Stockton and for the Nueces drainage area it began as early as 1875. On the Concho, San Saba, Llano and other tributaries of the Colorado river irrigation systems began to spring up about 1875, and possibly earlier, and these were added to about 1879, but this work became most active in the '90s. MURDER OF HERMIT THRUSH Crime of the Butcher Bird, Expected to Kill the Snarpy. Ornithologists say that Prospect park in Brooklyn is right on the north and south bird route, the Cincinnati Times-Star's New York correspondent says. Because of that fact—and because it is protected from every one but the lawless Indians—it ordinarily contains a greater variety of bird life than any other similar park in the country, perhaps. Thirty varieties have often been counted there of a morning. It was only the other day that a tragedy of the feathered world was reported. A hermit thrush—rarest of all song birds—had been murdered by the shrike, or butcher bird, and his soft little body impaled upon a thorn. The guardians of the park were ordered to kill the shrike on sight. "We liked him while he confined himself to a diet of English sparrows," said the superintendent, "but he's like the other foreigners against whom we contend here; a very little liberty goes to his head." He walked on as he spoke. On a little patch of green sward half a dozen European starlings were bobbing about. They had been brought to this country by a rich New Yorker not long ago and placed on his Staten Island estate. They look like blackbirds, except that their tails are short and their bills are brilliantly yellow. On a bench by the walk a man sat, leaning forward, watching them. The superintendent spoke to him. "Do you know what they are?" he asked. "Mein Gott, yes," said the man, never changing his pose. "In thirty years I haf not seen them—not since the day I ran away from mein fader's house in Germany to seek mein fortune. That day I heard them sing—" He put his head in his hands and burst into tears. "Did any of the inhabitants escape with his life?" inquired the man who wants harrowing details. "I didn't stop to ascertain," answered the man who is harrowingly exact. "It struck me that if anybody escaped without his life there wasn't much use in his escaping anyhow."—Washington Star. It is awfully old-fashioned to believe that you are all right, and that other people are very wicked. A college man always talks more about it than is relished by men who have not attended college. THE LIGHTS H AS TO POISON MYSTERIES. I TEXAS FIRST IN IRRIGATION. System Used by Indiana Long Bee fore the Coming of the White. Texas, although one of the youngest states in the Union in development, is the pioneer in irrigation, a Fort Worth correspondent of the New York Herald says. The beginning of irrigation in western Texas annotates any records so far found and it is probable that in no portion of the United States is the practice older, is the claim made by J. C. Nagle, who is professor of civil engineering at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. Scanty and irregular distribution of rainfall was doubtless the cause of its use in the beginning and even at later dates, when unnumbered acres of fertile lands could be had for little more than the trouble of preparing them for cultivation. Coronado, on his journey northward in the early part of the sixteenth century, so history tells us, found well-established systems of irrigation in the vicinity of El Paso, utilizing water from the Rio Grande on both sides of its present channel. Tradition tells us that the Public Indians of Yucatán claimed that ancient irrigation systems of great extent were built centuries ago by the Yuuna Indians on the Pecos river in the vicinity of Pecos and Grand Falls, but the constant raids by the Comanche and Apache Indians caused them to move on to the valley of the Rio Grande, only to be followed there by their old enemies and forced to move out to the Colorado of the West. In the vicinity of the Toyai springs evidence is found indicating that these waters were used for irrigation purposes long before the first white man found his way there. At San Antonio, where the Franciscan fathers founded their missions, they directed the construction of canals by the Indians. These canals were not only for supplying water to the missions for domestic purposes, but for irrigation as well. Among the ditches constructed between the years 1716 and 1774 may be mentioned the Conception, Alamo, San Jose, San Juan and Espada. In 1730 the San Pedro ditch was built by immigrants from the Canary Islands and was used for conducting water to the cultivated fields. For many years this ditch was conducted for field irrigation on farms and even to this day this old ditch is in operation and being used constantly. It supplied water for a large percentage of the city lawns a few years ago in San Antonio, and was extensively used for domestic purposes. At old Fort San Saba, near Menardville, the present home of James Callain, president of the Texas Cattle Raisers' Association, the remains of an irrigation system constructed in 1774, also by the Franciscan fathers, can still be traced. At this time Texas was under Spanish rule, but since then has sworn allegiance to and flouted five different flags. As early as 1852 the fourth legislature passed an act relative to irrigation. In 1882 the seventeenth legislature passed an act making large grants of land for the construction of irrigation ditches. There were several classes and a number of sections of land granted per mile of ditch varied with the class. In 1889 and 1895 additional regulations were established with a view of encouraging irrigation. The result of some of these enactments was the projection of numerous irrigation schemes, many of which were "boom" propositions from the start, while others proved failures when constructed because of the lack would be likely to come into contact with people than any other. Therefore in cases of supposed poisoning it behooves the State, as well as the defense, to rigidly investigate all circumstances, lost grave injustice be done some innocent person.—Chicago Journal. conclusion that too tight collars are the real source of many bodily disorders hitherto ascribed to other causes. As a result of his own experiences this medical scientist declares that he has adopted a collar several sizes larger than his shirt, with the happy outcome that headaches, rheumatism and other ailments have entirely disappeared. Personally we find ourselves quite unable to take this illuminating person very seriously. If a man is idiot enough to wear a collar three sizes to small be ought to be afflicted with a liberal allowance of aches and pains. On the other hand, if he will persist in wearing one three sizes too large he ought to be hailed into some sartorial court and heavily fined for being an all-round slouch.

No Danger of an Oversupply for Years to Come. There is no great danger that the supply of farmers will be a drug on the market for some years to come. The treasury department's actuaries estimate the population of the country now at ninety million. At an average consumption of 51g bushels of wheat a year for each person, it will take a little less than 500,000,000 bushels to supply white bread for the country, to say nothing of other varieties. This means something more than one hundred million barrels of flour to be ground, distributed and baked into bread for delivery at the consumers' tables. But this is only one of the many demands which a population moving rapidly toward one hundred million souls makes every day of the year. The country consumes probably not less than thirty million head of live stock a year. This includes cattle, hogs and sheep, but takes no account of poultry and poultry products, nearly all of which have to be supplied from the farms of the country. The two branches of farming which require the least labor for their successful prosecution, and the most thinking, are those which have much to do with the increased cost of living. They are poultry and poultry products and live stock growing. Within an hour's ride by rail of nearly every eastern city there are lands which lend themselves readily to occupation for these purposes. With modern facilities for transit to and from the cities and towns the possibilities of development of these particular sources of future supplies would seem at this particular time to be especially inviting. As for the alleged drawback that schools and other institutional advantages are inferior in rural and suburban communities, there are some serious doubts. In the matter. City schools are crowded because of having to work by, the wholesale, in contrast with the personal attention which is possible and practicable in the rural and suburban schools. Moreover, the conditions of living make greatly for the physical if not for the moral advantage of the rural over the urban life.—Wall Street Journal. Too Soon for Her. Apropos of those who never enjoy the luxury of a carriage save when the death of some one makes for a free ride to the cemetery a clergyman told of a little girl standing at 5th avenue and 30th street, New York. She was a ragged little thing, and she was watching the carriages rolling past with the most wistful blue eyes. "Well, little one," he said, "would you like to own one of those carriages?" The blue eyes turned up, and there were tears in their corners. "I never rode in a kerridge," she said softly. "Me little brudder died after I was born." Knew Her.

A GEORGE W. WALKER, OF WILL IAMS AND WALKER. Mr. Walker was a great business general and the main screw in the secret of his business. He was a tutor and admirer of men foremost of his, and so became a member of the national Business Men's League. Mr. Walker, in accumulating a small fortune, only owns a house in New York City, which built a mansion for his moth- Treat Colored Union Women Better That White Men Do the Block The clipping below from the Union Labor Advocate is a fair example of how the average white union woman treats her black sister of labor. If the white men would treat the colored men likewise the union could boast of many great achievements which they cannot do now. One of the things they must forget is that because the millionaire tells him things and gives him advantages over the black man, not for his love, but to better use him for a tool, and we are sorry to say, they have accepted it and have suffered dreadfully by it. Two-thirds of the various unions have "Jim Crow" clauses in their by-laws. Some go so far as to take the black man in and then only give him one-third time, while the white members (foreigners) are worked to death with regular and overtime. The union white man is losing one of his greatest friends when he learns the black man to hate him. We are of one flag, one country and one God. Can we not dwell together as do the women? If not, why not? Think and read the following: In the very early days of the strike in New York a colored girl found her way to the headquarters of the Women's Trade Union League, not at all sure of her welcome. But scarcely had she crossed the door-step when a young Russian Jewess ran up to her with a smile of gladness. Holding out both hands she said, "Come in, I'm so glad to see you; we're so glad you have joined us." She has turned out a most valuable addition to the ranks and is now secretary of their shop committee, elected by white girls to the office. There are other colored girls in the union in both New York and Philadelphia. In a trade so largely filled with recently arrived foreign girls the Americanborn and educated colored girl is of special use in such a struggle, owing to her familiarity with the English language.

A most striking coincident as well as an instance of industry and thrift among postoffice clerks is the four purchases of real estate property within the last month by four young men, all working in the same division, on the same (1 p. m.) watch, on the same (Ohio newspaper) case; and the sites, with one exception, are in the Gist block in Englewood. The following are the most recent purchasers among the clerks: W. H. Jackson, 6138 Aberdeen street; Chas. T. Scott, 6144 Carpenter street; P. W. Fountaine, 6127 Loomis street; J. C. Allgood, 5445 Dearborn street. CHICAGO UNIVERSITY SUMMER STUDENTS. Miss Blondelle Whaley, graduate of the college department of Cliffin University, Orangeburg, S.

She is stopping at 5436 Drexel avenue, at the same number the following students for the summer are stopping, who are also in attendance at the university: Mrs. Thomas, Birmingham, Ala.; Mr. Davis, New Orleans; Miss Chatman, New Orleans; Mr. Blair, St. Louis; Miss Croker, Indianapolis, Ind.; Miss Barber, Indianapolis, Ind.

Mr. Samuel Harris, 3350 Vincentnes avenue, announces the marriage of his nephew, Mr. Robert Harris, of Philadelphia, to Miss Francis Mae Rice, 4116 Dearborn street. The wedding took place at the home of the bride, only friends of the family being present. BEAUTIFUL BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR MISS HARDY. The most beautiful birthday and graduation party given this season was on Thursday night, for their daughter, Miss Alma, was by Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hardy, at their cozy home, 4230 Wabash avenue. At 6 o'clock the beautiful misses and masters began to put in their appearance, so that at 10, when the last eight young ladies came, accompanied by their mothers or older brothers, the house was more than full. There were over one hundred served, and they had more than they cared for. The most beautiful sight of the whole party was the rest room in the rear gallery; this was lighted with Chinese lanterns, and the Chinese air bells dangling to the breeze made one feel as if they were in fairyland instead of the party. Miss Hardy has just graduated from Felsenthal grammar school and it is her plan to enter Wendell Phillips High this fall. Out of her class of fifty-eight she was the only colored, and, strange to say (yet not) she took all the honors, besides having the highest average. The decorations were pink and white, her class colors. The young people bade Mr. and Mrs. Good-night just before the clock struck 12. MISS BERTHA L. MOSELEY GRADU UATES. Daughter of Attorney and Ball Magnet B. F. Moseley. Miss Bertha L. Moseley, the accomplished daughter of Lawyer and Mrs. B. P. Moseley, was graduated with high honors on Thursday, the 23d, from the Englewood High school, standing fourth in a class of 123. Miss Bertha had the distinction of being especially mentioned in the review of the work of the past year by Principal Armstrong as not having been tardy a single school day in the four years, and not in any studies being lower than 80. Miss Bertha will be 18 years old on her next birthday, and will enter the State College for Girls in October, at Urbana, Ill. In company with her mother, they left today for a West Michigan summer resort in which Mr. Moseley is interested, to spend a few weeks. 268 SUBSCRIBERS OWE, THAT'S ALL! We have nearly 300 subscribers who have not paid their subscriptions, most of these for last year, either in whole or in part. We are unable to get anyone to collect, therefore we ask, would you be kind enough to mail us by postoffice order the 50c or the $1.50, as the case may be. It is impossible to run a paper like this if the subscribers do not pay. We have lived up to our contract by sending you the paper brim full of news. Then why not pay? If the Defender came out once or twice a month, we would not blame you for treating us in this way, but we are on tap and we expect our money. We think to owe us for last year and seven months in this year is carrying one far enough. Then if you won't pay us we will cut out the expense of mailing to you next week. MR. WILLIAM NELSON TO TAKE TRIP. Mr. Nelson, $52 Vincennes avenue, was seen coming out of Peacock's, on Thursday afternoon. He hurriedly put a small box into his pocket and began talking of going to Louisville, Ky., and about 8th street. We hope he will return with the bride. Defender correspondents in that city have been notified to keep close watch on Mr. Nelson and the court house, as well as all the ministers. Mr. Nelson is a Brigadier General in the K.

It is the kind of sail which seems to come first into the mind of any man when he sets out to use the wind. In its original form it is to be seen continually to-day, hoisted above small boats in the north of Europe. But this sail is too simple. It will not go close to the wind, and in those light and variable winds which somehow have no force along the deck it hangs empty and makes no way, because it has no height.

It does not lie down along the deck, as do those in the north, but right up along the yard, and the yard itself is kept high at the masthead, making a great bow across the sky, and—one would say—tempting Providence to send a gale and wreck it.

Mortgage Banking and General Brokerage ALL BUSINESS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL Carlsbad Springs Safe Some months ago the authorities of Carlsbad were much concerned over a decrease in the flow of the famous Sprudel and other mineral springs. The State took up the matter, and it was found that the working of the mines in the vicinity was probably affecting the supply of the thermal springs. As the prosperity of Carlsbad, almost, indeed, its very existence, is dependent upon its world-famous waters, the government ordered certain mines to be shut down. Since then the flow of the springs has increased greatly, the Sprudel throwing out nearly a hundred gallons a minute more than it did before. The Muehl and Schloss springs also show a notable increase, their supply having nearly doubled. The people of Carlsbad are naturally jubilant at this evidence of the inexhaustible capacity of their health-giving springs and are preparing for a big season.

Avendorch, who determined that Dunbar's could not be forgotten so could get the co-operation pastor and such talent as we program Sunday. Too alt cannot be given. Mr. h for his efforts in this dind he ought to have the sup the Chicago admirers of Dun beast. The speaker was Hon. J. Greene, who was formerly sent to Vladyslavsk under President McKinley. Dunbar, he said, "hore the same relation to Negro verse that Pindar does to the verse of the white man. He was the first great Negro lyricist. His works will live, not because they were untouched as the songs of the Negro, but because they would have been great as the songs of a man of any color. His genius was cosmopolitan in the truest sense, because there was mingled in it the best literary characteristics of the white and colored races. Dunbar was a Negro, but he sang with a sweetness that excelled the white man." The speaker compared Dunbar to Byron, Shelley and Burns. He said that while Dunbar's popularity at present rested chiefly upon his daint poems the time would come when more serious work would be given action. He said that Dunbar was spelled to write that he might live, 1. that the act was responsive for h of his dialect work. He spoke of the play Dunbar wrote, and said this contained much of his best work. The play is to be published soon by Mrs. Dunbar as part of a collection of his complete literary output. The speaker said that Dunbar's poems were a refutation of the charge so often made that the Negro cannot originate—that he is an imputator, not a creator. The creative genius, he declared, was evident everywhere in Dunbar's works, a fact which, he contended, proved that originality is not a trait peculiar to any one race, creed or color. The musical numbers were rendered by the following: Miss Marie Burton, Miss W. Mildonia Lewis, of Kansas City, Kan.; L. C. Pousser, Harrison Enamuel and kichard B. Harrison. FREDERICK H.

Serviss There has lately been introduced into scientific nomenclature a most imposing name, representing a conception that almost staggers the imagination. It is the Batholite, a term invented by the great German geologist, Eduard Suess, to describe the gigantic intrusions of molten rock which, according to him, bore their way upward through the crust of the earth from the "external depths" below, cutting through the strata and folds of the mountains very much as a white-hot soldering iron may be thrust through a plank, burning its way across the grain of the wood as if it were cheese. These Batholites kurk deep in the earth, where the temperature is thousands of degrees, and gradually melt their way to the surface above them. Generally they issue in the form of tremendous domes of hot rock, towering up to mountain heights, and often giving birth to volcanoes. When a Batholite, as sometimes happens, does not reach the surface, its roof opens in a network of networks, lava pours out and a whole group of volcanoes appears at that point. Suess has recognized the remains of many cooled Batholites on various parts of the earth's surface, and he says that the consolidated crust of the earth, when at the present day, may be exposed to these mighty intrusions from below. The Batholites bring up with them many metals from the interior of the planet, and rich minerals are often opened in the dykes that are thus formed. Suess describes the rock about Boulder, Colorado, as an ancient Batholite, which covers 5,000 square kilometers of surface. But there are others still more prodigious in extent. Sometimes they have been worn down nearly to the general level, but near Elkhorn the old Batholite yet towers up to an elevation of 9,000 feet above the sea. The diamond dykes of South Africa have thus been thrust up from the profound depths of the earth, where there exists a laboratory of nature in which she performs what seem miracles to the petty inhabitants of the planet's surface. The face of the moon shows us most clearly what Batholites are capable of. The vast circular plains ringed with steep mountains, which make its surface so marvellous to look upon with a telescope, have, according to this view, been formed by intrusions of colossal Batholites, and Succs calls them by the startling name of "smolting furnaces"—furnaces thousands of square miles in extent—in which the frame of that little world has been melted and dissolved like a snow bank lying in the path of a flow of molten iron. And If we could remove the sedimentary accumulations of ages from the face of our world, says this astonishing German savant, we might find now hidden under our feet a network of the skered skeletons of ancient Batholites, grander than any on the moon! Truly science has found a new word to conjure with: From the New York American. Wasteful to Burn Grass The wastefulness of burning grass is perhaps not generally realized. By the burning of dead grass we remove the material which is to furnish humus and bacteria essential for plant growth. Resulting from this burning we have temporarily a small amount of ash, which stimulates a quick and unhealthy growth of grass, but the soluble parts of the ash are rapidly washed away by rains, so that we have not only a great loss from destruction of humus and bacteria but also part of the small allowable residue. In land, subsoiled to grass fire must therefore quickly "run out" unless manure is added subsequently to take the place of the burned grass, and this is not commonly done—Robert T. Morris, in the New York Times. Eucalyptus Trees With reference to the letter of "Old Australian" about eucalyptus trees, would say that I have grown them from seed for a number of years, but have not been able to preserve them for more than two winters. I have only a small greenhouse, with a pipe from the kitchen boiler, and the frost usually kills them. I find the plants good for hay fever or similar nasal suspicion. In the botanical Gardens in the Buryall in Oxford a fine specimen of the Eucalyptus globulus, which is the one I grow, but, of course, they are better able to take care of it than I am. Perhaps "Old Australian" knows of a hardy specimen of the "Globulus" that would resist a moderate amount of cold.—W. MacDonald, in The New York Times. Announcement of Peace Announcement It was in the year 1885, that Gideon Welles wrote in his diary, as published in the Atlantic Monthly:—"Stanton called at my house about six o'clock p. m. and invited me to a hasty Cabinet convention at eight o'clock p. m., April 21. When we had assembled General Grant and Preston King were also present. Stanton briefly mentioned that General Grant had important communications from General Sherman and requested that he would read them, which he did. It stated he had made a peace, if satisfactory, with the rebels." Use of tobacco is universal in the Orient, and the word cheroot and its uss; come from Madras.

She Took a Chance "Clarice," cooed the bride's dearest girl friend, "you've never told me how you and Jack happened 'to get engaged." The bride held back her head and studied the effect of an embroidered initial on something white and fluffy. "I never told a living soul," she said. "Goodness! How exciting! What in the world—" "Not one living soul! But if you promise you'll never tell anybody—" "Clarice! You know me better than to think I'd ever breathe a word." "Well, it was one night last spring. I'd been writing letters in my丹 and was bored to death. I just broken off with Howard and I hadn't any hopes of a caller, for Tom was in Canada and Martin was working nights on his law cases and Herbert was out of town and that nice Mr. Selbert you girls were all crazy over —" "I wasn't, if you mean me, Clarlee, you horrish thing! I didn't think he was nice at all, and I always said he'd turned when didn't expect that." "Well, he did, when they提亮 him for bigamy. But, then, that hasn't anything to do with how Jack and I got engaged." "It was one of those lovely spring nights, all iliacs and full moon, and people out walking, and I was cooped up in my den all alone, with every blessed man I knew out of the question, and nobody at home except Mabel studying her Latin on the porch. You know my den opens right off the end of the front hall." "I'd just fixed up that don," she went on, "and I felt so proud of it that A "GUESS WHO!" had everybody come in there. So when I heard somebody mount the front steps as if he belonged to the family and then say something to Mabel, I didn't budge. "When Mabel called, 'Somebody you know to see you, Clarice', I just said, 'Tell him to come straight to the den.' I thought maybe Martin had got tired of his law cases and come over for a few minutes. "When as I was walked in as condescently if I'd been he'd seen us the day before. I liked his step. Don't you think there's a lot of character in the way people walk? This man's walk was firm and even, just as if he knew what he wanted and never would stop until he got it if it took him years and years. "Then, what do you think? You'd never guess in a thousand years!" "How perfectly romantic!' murmured the girl friend. "I never could guess, so burry and tell me." "He came right into the den, and before I could turn around he put his hands over my eyes and said in the nicest voice, 'Guess who!' "I racked my brains for a minute, for I knew I heard the voice before, though whom it belonged to I hadn't the slightest idea. He might be almost anybody, but I knew he was nice, just from the way he walked and the way his voice sounded. Beides, I was half crazy for some excitement, and—I think it was just direct experience, and so didly: "There's only one to do in the world who has a right to do that, and I'd know him among a thousand." "What do you think of that for nerve? But, goodness! I didn't have time to reflect on what I'd done. Things happened too fast. "The next thing I remember is that I was all bounced up in Jack Phelps' coat collar and asking him why he'd never written me from Colorado all these years. He'd been away ever since he left college, you know, and he was my first sweetheart—in fact, we were about half engaged when he went and came." When I saw how perfectly dear he was and how handsome he looked—don't you think he has the loveliest nose?—why, I never said a word; anyway, I was in love with him before I knew what was happening.

This photograph recently taken in London shows Prince Edward as he looked two weeks before his grandfather's death. voice and knew who he was when he said that—he thinks it’s perfectly wonderful. Maybe when I’m an old married woman and Jack’s baldheaded I’ll tell him about it. “But not now!” murmured the girl friend, recovering her breath. “Oh, by no means!” said Clirce.—Chicago Daily News. TAX ON MEN'S INCOMES. How the Brattle Collection Is Engraved in Great Britain. The resolution authorizing the collection of income tax for the year April 1, 1909–March 31, 1910, was passed by the House of Commons last night the London Mail says. Through ORGANIZED CHARITY. Even in 1843 Poor of Cities Admoni- lated to Seek the Forms. When in 1843 Robert M. Hartley, the father of systematic charity in America, organized the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Pier, was in the meantime secure that the desisture beggars, who congregated in our great cities, suffered either through dense ignorance of their opportunities or through the lack of the moral and physical stamina that led so many of their sturder fellows to avail themselves of the boundless natural resources that America offered gratuitously to any who were ready to take a hand in building the nation. Writing in 1845, Hartley, Harper's says, deplores the fact that in spite of enlarged public and private provisions for the relief of the indigent, "the streets were still filled with mendicants, the benevolent were harassed with applications, and importunate impostors were constantly obtaining the aid which was designed only for the needy and deserving." The attitude of mind created by these conditions Hartley expressed in several of the admonitory tracts which, as general agent of the association, he addressed to the city's poor. "Every able-bodied man in this country," he declared, "may support himself and family comfortably; if you do not, it is probably owing to idleness, improvidence, or intemperance. You will go肶 and smoke, neglect your children and beg, live in filth and discomfort, drink and carouse, do almost anything rather than work, and expect, forsooth, to be supported by charity. Some of you in all honesty ask not alms but work, but how will you get what does not exist? There are so many more hands than by which you are doomed to starve in idleness or subsist by charity. To the sober and industrious we say, "Stay not here to pine in idleness and want, when the wide and fertile country offers you employment and all that is needful for comfort and elevation." Those who willfully and stubbornly remained in spite of these admonitions, Hartley and his associated Good Samaritans determined to make the best of "by elevating their moral character and teaching them to depend upon themselves." They divided the city into 278 sections, each one in charge of a resident male volunteer—a member always of one of the best families—who pledged himself to withhold all relief from unknown persons, to visit in their homes those who appeared to require benevolent services, and, by discriminating and judiciously combined with admonitions to burden them with diligence and temperance, to help them discover those hidden springs of virtue within themselves from which alone their prosperity might flow. But Hartley and his associates did not limit their activities to personal visitation. Almost all the devices for improving the condition of the poet that are current in our day were devised by them.

How the Drastic Collection in Eng- gineered in Great Britain SECONDARY GREAT BRITAIN The resolution authorizing the collection of income tax for the year April 1, 1909-March 31, 1910, was passed by the House of Commons last night, the London Mall says. Throughout the country the boards of commissioners are anxiously awaiting the instructions of Somerset House, so that they may begin work. The rates of the new tax are: Rates per pound Unearned income (dividend).....1 2 Earned income up to £2,000.....9 1 All income over £2,000.....1 2 All income over £3,000.....1 2 All income over £3,000, super-tax on journeys.....1 2 The abatements apply to residents in the United Kingdom up to £700 and an extra abatement of £10 is allowed for every child under 16 from incomes under £500. All the demand notes are prepared, addressed and ready for delivery. The moment they receive the word "Go," the collectors will issue them. The surveyors will have neither the time nor the inclination to allow much delay in payment. Somerset House may decide to act instantly on the strength of the demand, or may wait until the finance bill receives the royal assent to-morrow week. The latter course is generally thought to be the more probable. This is the time of the year at which the collectors give the first turn to the screw in the case of arrears, and as there are now some £23,600,000 to collect, instead of about a tenth of that figure, as usual at this period, the turning of the screw will be emphatic. The powers of a surveyor are drastic. If a man will not or does not pay he will receive a curt demand for the money within five or seven days, with a threat of the usual proceedings in default. If that proves ineffectual the brokers may be put in under a distress warrant, and if there are no effects which can be seized the defaulter will be marched off to prison at once. Mr. Lloyd George estimates that $250,000 has been trettievably lost by the delay in the collection of the tax. Many commissioners and surveyors are convinced that this figure is very much understated. Some of them estimate the inevitable loss in their own districts at nearly 10 per cent of the whole. There have been failures and removals and disappearances of tax-payers, and, although the state is patient and persistent in these matters, it is hopeless (say these experts) to think that as much of the money will be recovered as the chancellor seems to entemplate. Mr. Lloyd never received a form which provides for the claiming of abatements in virtue of children under 16 years of age. When a man entitled to such rebates receives his demand note he must either pay in full and claim the rebate afterward or go to a vast deal of trouble to get the rebate allowed before he pays. Supertax is to be paid not during the year in which the income is received, but in the year following it, and persons liable to pay it for the year ending March 31, 1910, must make their returns by July 31. So delicate and important will be the work of adjusting this new tax that the officials of Somerset House charged with its management have been instructed to complete their annual holidays before the end of May. A Real One. Tommy--Tell us a fairy tale. Guest --Once a man who had a baby that didn't cry and a dog that didn't bite went to live in a suburb without mosquitos. --Harper's Bazar. Some people are only critics; they never do anything themselves, and thus give others a chance to become critics. Special care must be exercised when selecting mourning stationery, for the width of the white envelope, differ, as each indicates the degree or mourning. One fashionable widow uses square letter paper, the black envelopes being an inch wide; the envelopes match. This is, of course, extreme and would be considered good form but by few persons. Little less than half an inch is the regulation width for a widow, though custom now permits of a narrow border if she chooses. Smooth finished paper is more often used than rough, except where linens are selected. Cream shades are to be avoided, as only pure white is correct. Envelopes having pointed flaps are preferred for mourning as well as colors, although in some cities square flaps still prevail. They are not smart. Mourning for a parent, sister or other close relative expresses itself in writing paper by a border so narrow as to be so scorchy more than a line. It is not the best of taste for a daughter, for instance, to use that which is suitable for her mother, the theory being that her mourning is less in every particular. Yet, should the daughter swear herself in crepe, though it be molish, her stationery must be of deeper hue to correspond, for the writing paper must match the garments in degree. This same kind of border is used on note paper and correspondence cards. Violet ink is supposed to be used only by persons who have begun to lighten their mourning or who have settled into the same degree for allways. Even in the latter instance the colored ink should not be used until after the end of the first year. At that time a widow may adopt it if she chooses. Stamping, should be unclean or address appear, must be in black. Good taste does not approve of embossed lettering on black bordered stationery. Visiting cards must be edged, as is the stationery, and there must be envelopes to match these small pieces of mastboard. The width of the black on these is graded by the size of that which is put on the paper. When placing stamps on any envelopes they should be so put as to have the black edge of the cover show at both the top and side. This is a small point of elfinette, but one which should be observed.—Pittsburg Dipatch. DON'T BORROW FROM OTHERS DON'T BORROW FROM OTHERS How is it that women so seldom borrow money from one another? Even the closest women friends—and it is surely not necessary to here contradict the old fallacy that close friendship among women is unknown—who confide the most sacred secrets to one another, will wring as to which should pay a penny car fare, and each manoeuvres and argues to a bewildering extent rather than let the other pay for a modest lunchroom. This characteristic is reflected and utilized in innumerable plays and novels—"Diana of the Crossways" is a notable example. Lady Dunstone is rich; yet her "beloved Tony" rushes into descrase and temporarily wrecks her happiness, rather than ask for the最良 loan, or accept hospitality, from her old friend, and the realism and truth of this feature of the novel's construction has never been questioned. Some women do borrow. Almost every one has heard of one or two incorrigibles who will unhilightly ask for the loan of their neighbor's diamond rings or blue-bag, according to the needs of their station in life, but these are regarded with so much amazement, their feats are chronicle) with such zest that it must be admitted that they are freaks of feminine nature, just as if they smoked pipes or drank beer at breakfast. It is the reason for this feminine trait? The anti-feminist rushes in with his or her cry: "It is because of woman's inherent inability for comradeship—because she is instinctively anti-social" and all the rest of the phrases that are almost worn out by being set in type so often, but the matter-of-fact observer has another explanation. Women so often haven't any money to lend—New York American. VEILING IS IMPORTANT Women were seeming content to make themselves look ugly behind the lace veil of the summer, and the fancy for them promises to continue all winter. There is such a demand for the new chantily vells that they are quickly sold out. Instead of being seen in black and white chiefly, these are beige, mustard and brown. In real lace such a veil is costly, but there are many good imitations; so many, in fact, that it is doubtful if they will not soon be too common to last. The borders are worn both up and down, but whichever style is chosen the weaver must see to its adjusting. Its features are not mined by the pattern. Though these lace vells keep in good condition longer than those of more delicate mesh and lower prices, they must be carefully handled, or they soon tear. If worn with one hat only they are often draped to it. and merely pinched close to the face at nape of neck. Do not let it stay too long on the hat without taking off and brushing. Care must be taken when putting in hats, as they tear a veil more quickly than hard usage. If a lace veil gets too soft it can be stiffened by washing in alcohol and pasting to a mirror or around a large bottle to dry. when the mess of a veil is torn it can often be made good by matching the color in a small bit of veiling and mending in the mesh stitch. Never wear a veil with a tear in it. Nothing more surely mars ones appearance. A white or cream chantilly veil must be closely watched that it does not get dingy looking and ruin the looks of ones skin. It may be carefully washed in soapsuds if merely squeezed and not wrung.—New Haven Reclister. ROMANCE BEARS FRUIT. The romance that began in the fall of 1908, when Miss Emily H. Bedford, one of the most noted horsewomen in the country, made almost a clean sweep of every class in which she competed in the Louisville Horse Show, is to reach its culmination in her marriage to Preston Davie. When it is said Davie comes from an old Kentucky family, it is unnecessary to add he is keenly interested in horses, and as he was one of the leading spirits in the management of the Louisville show his face was a foreseeable conclusion when Miss Bedford appeared. Her father is T. T. Bedford, one of the Standard Oil magnates, and Davie is a nephew of General William Preston, a commander of cavalry in the Condeforde army. To New Yorkers who know their Madison Square Garden Horse Show, Miss Bedford is a familiar figure in the ring. She carried off several prizes last month, both with her own horses and those she drove for friends. Davies, who is a lawyer, played right guard on the Harvard football team for two years. FOR "FINICKY" APPETITES My children had "fruits" appetites, and it seemed impossible to provide a meal that would be acceptable to all. Some of the things they disliked they had never tasted, so one day I said: "To-morrow Robert may order the dinner. He may be the host and the rest of us will be his guests. Of course, as his guests it would be unapponable for us to tell him we did not like his food. We must at least taste of everything. The one who is the most perfectly bred guest may give a dinner soon after. Of course, if there is any one who is the one will be devoted the privileges of attending us." Well, the result of our series of dinners was that Alice discovered that cream really tasted very nice, and Paul found that eggs were not the abination he had thought them. Moreover, their father meekly accepted French dressing, although thitherthro he had never tasted olive oil.-Harper's Bazar. ORNAMENTING SILK STOCKINGS Who girls are clever at embroidering can make most beautiful birthday gifts for their friends by ornamenting plain silk stockings. Every girl likes to have pretty silk stockings for dancing and other parties, and the fashion this winter is to have them burgundy bedecked with flowers. Fascinating vines trail from the toe up on the arch of the foot or little clusters of tiny flowers are dotted on here and there. They are gay in color, for the flowers are worked in bright shades, while leaves done in vivid greens always accompany them. The trailing arbutus makes a lovely decoration on white silk stockings intended to wear with a pink knot, and nothing could be prettier than clusters of forget-me-nots on pale blue or white stockings to be worn with a blue gown. A great deal of imagination and taste can be brought into play in designing the embroideries for stockings, which may be elaborate or simple, according to the skill of the girl intending to work them—New York Herald. MANNERISMS "Fidgeting with handknifechiefs, rings, brooches, etc., while talking." "Rubbing the face, biting the fingers or finger nails and so on."

Mourning muffs are made of crepe, the shirrings being held in place by narrow bands of taffeta or nuns' velling. Most of the girdles of the season are high in front, though they actually encircle the waist line once more.

All day trains from the city brought participants anxious to see the home and wish Mrs. Smith a successful day. An appropriate program was rendered in a spacious tent erected for the occasion, Mrs. Nora Taylor presiding. The song service was led by the orphanage children. Addresses were made by Drs. W. D. Cook and H. E. Stewart, Rev. Joseph F. Flint and F. L. Burnett. The Apollo Trio Club gave several numbers. Remarks by Mrs. Ida D. Wells Barnett and Mrs. Ellizabeth McDonald gave lustre to the occasion. The chair then presented two distinguished visitors, Mrs. Katherine D. Tillman of Pasadena, Cal., president of the California Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, and Mrs. Monday of Louisville, Ky. --- Guid No. 1, assisted by several city clubs, reported the work of remodeling the home, including the placing of electric lights, shower baths, etc., which amounted to several hundred dollars. It was voted to send a committee to each church to solicit their patronage for the coming year's support. The table collections for the day amounted to $80.33, exclusive of the dinner tickets. Too much credit cannot be awarded the noble women who have assisted Mrs. Smith in her consecrated efforts for the upbuilding of childhood. Before they left the grounds they began planning for next year, hoping to need several tents with a week's program and outing. THE HOME CLUB AT THE PEKIN THEATER. Last Saturday evening the Ladies' Home Club gave a picturesque theater party as the closing event of their year's work. They went in a body headed by Mrs. Wm. Emanuel, who was chaperon. Messrs. Motts and Boll spared no palms in making the affair a prize winner for the house and the guests. Mrs. C. Deshman was much surprised to see how Chicago folks do things. She said, "Why, in Denver they don't begin to put on such stunts as here." After the play the party marched up to the Pekin Cafe for luncheon. Mr. Motts leading the way. The ladies filed out of their box to the beautiful spread, which all enjoyed.

The Douglass Center Woman's Club held a parents' meeting at Kent school Friday evening in charge of Mrs. Wm. Thomas, who was made an affiliated club member and president of the parents' meeting for the year. An informal program was carried out by the parents and visitors, the object of the meeting being to aid in the betterment of the present conditions of Kent school and the co-operation of parents in the attendance of their children in the vacation school. It was the sentiment of each speaker that better conditions will prevail in Kent district if the parents and citizens realize an interest is being taken in the children by outside agencies. The principal, Mr. Wildman, although sent, absent his sincere appreciation to the club on the step they have taken. The presence of Mrs. J. T. Jenifice aided the strength of the meeting. The Donglass Center Sewing School taught by Mrs. Alice Hampton, closed its class for the year Saturday afternoon with an exhibition of the work accomplished by the pupils. The parents and visitors were delighted with the progress made this year. Refreshments were served. Beginning Saturday, July 2, a cooking class will meet at the same hours, 10 to 12, for the benefit of our young girls. The new gas range and cooking utensils were donated the center by a woman's club from the West Side. Hon Individual Cnn Marjorie is a day pupil at a private school.

The new implement has a long handle by which it is carried conveniently, and at the same time the handle controls the operation of a lid which opens for the reception of the dust when the pan is placed on the floor and as it is raised after gathering up the accumulations, the lid closes, hiding the contents from view and preventing their being scattered by the wind or by accident. Health and Beauty Hints Hold young thoughts persistently. Avoid fear in all its varied forms of expression. Keep in the sunlight; nothing beautiful or sweet rippens in the darkness. Simply refuse to grow old by counting your years or anticipating old age. Don't allow yourself to think, on your birthday, that you are a year older. Rerain from all kinds of stimulants and sedatives; they will shorten your life. Nature is the great rejuvenator; her spirit is ever young. Live with her; study her; love her. Avoid excesses of all kinds; they are injurious. The long life must be a temperate, regular life. Keep mental cobwebs, dust and brain ashes brushed off by frequent trips to the country, or by travel. Never look on the dark side; take sunny views of everything; a sunny thought drives away the shadows. Cultivate the spirit of contentment; all discontent and dissatisfaction bring age-furrows prematurely to the face. Think beautiful thoughts—harmony thoughts, truth thoughts, thoughts of innocence, of youth, of love and of kindness. Physicians claim that sleep is more refreshing in a darkened room. It is well to accustom children from infancy to sleep in the dark. After living for several months on simple foods, in addition to increased good health, it would be found that an increased susceptibility of taste and a keener relish have been acquired. Massage is not only a beautifying agent, but it is a wonderful cure for neuralgia. If attention is paid especially to the muscles of the eyes and brow. It is excellent also for sleeplessness and all nervous conditions. For ingrowing nails wear wider boots and clip the nails so they curve down in the center of the top. Nails as a rule are a little rounded or pointed, but by cutting them in the nails bend a little and are less apt to hurt the flesh at the sides. Keep them short all the time. New Type of Woman. The eyes of the world are directed at the matured women who are doing things. The exclusive society woman and she who has only good looks to recommend her are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. We are living in an intensely practical age. So rapidly are we living that all forces are amalgamating and evolving a type of woman such as the world has never seen before. She is not a fledgling, nor a merely pretty thing, but a woman of gracious tact and wide sympathy, who has lived down many a bitter disappointment and crushed many a sorrow, but who is imbued with the optimistic spirit of Young America; she knows that in order to do her best she must look her best; she inspires old and young with her youthful enthusiasm; she is sincerely interested in every humane question of the day; thus unconsciously does she cultivate those endearing qualities of the heart, the daily exhibition of which, in the course of years, imparts an atmosphere of soft, sweet femininity, and gives to a woman when she reaches middle life that delightful subtle spirit we call "charm." This is perhaps what the satirical Bernard Shaw meant when he asserted that no woman is possible until she has reached her thirty-fifth year, and not worth talking with until her fortieth!—The Delineator. Women as Farmers. More than 700,000 woman had a share last year in raising the crops of the nation. That more women are taking up farming each year is a fact, and that the most of them are succeeding is equally true. They are running cattle ranches, cotton plantations, raising melons, wheat, corn, fruit and managing stock farms and chicken ranches. In every part of the country the invasion of the agricultural field by women is going on, but it is more marked in the West. A Sewing Suggestion. In place of the tedious rolling and whipping used in sewing ruffles on to bands of lace, the woman who makes her own lingerie will find this method much easier, quicker and quite as ef- STYLISH AFTERNOON GOWN. The above sketch was taken from a gown of soft cashmere in a new and lovely shade of Dresden blue. The skirt, perfect in cut, is arranged with crossing folds in front. Bodice is blue linon over soft silk, in palest possible shade of rose leaf pink. Over this are bretelles and bands of cashmere, finely embroidered with silk and trimmed with narrow cords of satin in same; shade of blue. Upper part of bodice is filled in with fine creme lace, like that used for the undersleeves; the latter lined with pale pink chiffon and finished with deep cuffs of fine cream net, bordered at wrists with a piping of blue satin fective: Turn down the edge of the ruffle as if to make a very narrow hem, but instead of hemming, gather with a fine thread, then place the gathers evenly, hold them firmly in place and whip on to the lace. The gathering thread will not show and the work will be strong enough for laundering. This can be done in half the time, and the most critical admirer of neat and dainty sewing can not detect it from rolling and whipping. Heedress for Mornings. The tendency has been of late years to leave off hats in the summer time as much as possible. Girls have knotted veils behind the ears and have contrived many other little fancy beadheads to protect their dresses from the winds, but it has remained for an American girl artist in Paris to send us a charming and Frenchy little design that will catch the eye of our summer girls—one and all—on the instant. It is simply a large silk handkerchief in cashmere design draped over a very large wire frame—which light in weight and protects the hair. The kerchief is edged with black moire, and there is a black tassel at each corner. And it may be made at home, which is not the least of its charms. Economy In Buying. Comparatively few housekeepers appreciate the economy of buying household supplies in large quantities at wholesale rates. Try it for a while, keeping strict account, and at the end of a year you will be surprised at the amount of money saved. When it is impossible for one to buy in large quantities, owing, perhaps, to a small family, let several housekeepers club together, one woman who has business ability attending to the ordering, or they can take turns in doing that part of the work if they choose. Of course it is some trouble, but it pays well for the time spent. Many articles in daily use, as dried fruits, canned goods, spices, etc, can be kept for a long time if properly cared for. Soap is much better kept a long time—the longer the better. Butter if put up in prints or small packages, can be wrapped in a clean wet cloth or wet butter paper, and put into a jar of strong brim—as much salt in the water as it will dissolve—when it will keep indefinitely if care is taken to keep the butter always covered with the brine. Perishable food will, of course, have to be ordered oftener. Marriage This mating business is much more serious than young people can ever be made to realize, and, while I believe young people should be left to make their own selections I believe also that they should be made to see, before a critical stage is reached, as nearly as possible what marriage means, says Erman J. Ridgway in the Delineator. What does marriage mean? Not in transports, high spots, purple days, but in terms of every day. It is generally believed that the most successful marriages follow the mating of contrasts, nervous with phlegmatic, sunny with solemn, light with dark, and so on. There is probably something in the theory, though if the contrasts are too marked the result is likely to be misery. The chasm is too wide to bridge. A perfect mating is hardly attainable. There would be fewer misunderstandings and more "successful" marriages if more people realized that a marriage can be successful without being perfect. Perhaps, too, there would be easier sledding if more people realized that marriage is an attempt at three maltings: The mating of two souls; the mating of two minds; the mating of two bodies. Two people fairly mated in any two of these can make a very happy marriage of it, even if the other mating is hopeless, as long as they understand the situation and decide to make the best of it. Kenblor, Up. Apprasance. Keeping Up Appearances. Your everyday toilet is a part of your character, says a writer. A girl who looks like a "fury" or a sloven in the morning is not to be trusted, however finely she may look in the evening. Look tidy in the morning and after the dinner is over improve our toilet. Make it a rule of your daily life to "dress" in the afternoon. Your dress may or may not be anything better than calico, with a ribbon or flower or some bit of ornament you can have an air of self-respect and satisfaction that invariably commends you to heaven.

Not Her Fault Being upbraided by her mother for being the lowest in her class, little Mabel excclaimed, in tones of injured innocence: "It ain't my fault.

Johnson—I can't furnish the setting. -Smart Set. For The Children This is my little Maltese cat. Some people say that "cats is nice." But those I like most "specially" Are they who catch the rats and mice. My cat is 'fraid, I really think; She sits all day around the house And sleeps so hard she doesn't wink. Yet she has never catched a mouse. Of course she bathes, 'cause cats is neat. And for a sponge she takes her paw; Then drinks her milk and cats her meat And digs the garden with her claw. She never walks the fence at night. To meet more cats--she seems to fear it. Sometimes I'd like to see her fight. And know my kitty had some spirit. One time my little yellow Dick Flew from his cage around her head. She raised her back and ran as quisit. As lightning 'way beneath the bed. I'm sure the rats and mice at night I run past her back and forth with glee, They know that she's a "coward cat" And I'm as "shamed as I can be. -Irene Elliott Ienson. Dongbuns. A story is told somewhere of an excellently brought up child. He was guarded with the utmost care from everything that could possibly harm him. His toys were carefully sterilized and so was his mouth several times a day. The nursery was built with rounded corners, where no germ-laden dust could lie, and with a solid floor and composition walls that could be washed with an antiseptic solution daily. Especially was his food looked after with the greatest care. Nothing passed his lips that was not down in the diet books as most innoxious—no pork, no pie, no beans even, but only the blazest, the most nutritious, and the most digestible of foods. He grew apace and seemed to thrive, but one fatal day he was allowed to go alone to see his grandmother. This old lady was of the former generation, which knew not germs, and which apprehended no tragedy from a good, healthy stomach-ache in an active boy, so she fed her visitor with pie and jam and two or three big firm doughnuts. The surprise was too much for the little one's stomach, so abused with mistaken kindness, and it was only after many days of anxious watching that the doctor could say with assurance that the child would live. One need not inquire too closely into the truth of this story, but true or not. It points a moral, for it is with the stomach as it is with the system as a whole—it can thrive only by exercise. If the stomach is guarded against everything not easily digestible, everything that demands of it a little hard work, it will never learn to take care of the food that will inevitably get into it some way and somehow at some time. • To the perfectly healthy stomach a well-cooked doughnut is not even a challenge, but to the overcooked sensitive organ it may be as much a danger as would be a rock. In this sense the very air is filled with doughnuts. It is not desirable to advocate any Spartan system of hardening, but in the physical as well as in the moral world it is due to the young to prepare and toughen them for the world they are in. Every part of the system calls for toll to strengthen it. As the mind needs problems, so does the stomach need doughnuts, or their equivalent. They need not be fed to babies, neither do people set sums to infants or give them chops, but those who are wise will recognize the hour when it is best that all of these should be ventured.

Horseshoes are lucky hung up over a door because they keep the devil out of the house. It happened in this way: Good St. Dunstan was a famous blacksmith, and the king of evil, who used to travel around the world in person before he became so busy, stopped at the saint's forge one day and asked the blacksmith to put a shoe on his hoof. St. Dunstan knew the person he had to handle. He took the ropes that he used to the horses with and bound the devil so lightly that that gentleman could not move. Then the saint set to work. The devil roared and screamed as St. Dunstan put a red-hot iron shoe over the hoof and pounded it in with long nails. He pleaded with his captor to let him go, promising anything in return. "If I let you go," said St. Dunstan, "will you promise never to enter a house that has a horseshoe over the door? "On my honor as a gentleman I promise," said the devil solemnly, and then St. Dunstan let him go. And from that day to this, so they say, the devil has never entered a house so protected. The devil is a man of his word, whatever else people may think of him. Sorr Milk. There was trouble up in the sky the other day. Halley's comet came so close to the Milky Way that all the milk was soured, and the Heavenly Twins had to go without their breakfast. A sun-dog jumped down from the sky And scared them both away. A SMUGGLER'S HEROISM. A Girl Who Held Her Failed Brother on Alps Thirteen Hours. The heroic effort of a girl smuggler to save the life of her elder brother after holding him thirteen hours on a rope over a precipice is reported from Bellinzona. Mille, Poretti, aged 18, and her brother, aged 23, left Swiss territory to cross the Baldisco Pass carrying contraband goods into Italy. On the summit they were overtaken by a violent snowstorm—which raged throughout Southern Switzerland—and were soon in deep snow. The Poretti roped themselves, the young man leading. They lost their way, and while attempting to find the path Poretti fell through the snow into a crevasse into which he nearly dragged his sister, who, however, planted her ice ax in the snow and withstood the shock. Early the next morning several smugglers exposing the pass from Swiss territory into Italian found the young girl near the ordinary route taken by smugglers, and recognized her at once, as she belonged to a smuggler's family, and lived at Chlavenna. The smugglers at once drew up the brother, but found that he had died during the thirteen hours his sister had held him by the rope. He had received severe injuries in the head, and his body was frozen. The smugglers carried down the brave girl, who was almost unconscious, as well as the dead body of her brother, and notified the Porelli family at Chlavenna. On reaching the valley the girl had recovered sufficiently from her terrible experience to explain that she and her brother had spoken for several hours after the accident, and at last he had said that he felt nothing and wanted to sleep. A warm night followed the snowstorm, or two dead bodies would have been found. Under the great strain the rope had cut through the girl's clothes, and her waist was bleeding when she was rescued. WESLEY IN HIS GEORGIA WORK. Great Methodist's Motto, "Be Dlll- gent." Was His Rule of Action. One of the Wesley rules, inherited from early Oxford days and handed down to his "helpers" in later days, was this: "Be diligent; never be triflingly employed." His own output of solid work in Georgia was extraordinary, according to "The Journal of John Wesley," by Schemich Curnock, in Harper's Magazine. He mastered at least three languages and taught two. He built a house, fenced and planted a garden, felled trees and helped to make roads. He compiled and published the first hymn book ever used in the English church, and prepared a second, translating hymns, composing others and selecting from the best sources. He had a long, wide and difficult parish. In the library of the London Colonial Office I found a map, drawn probably by an early eighteenth century survey officer, which reproduces Wesley's American circuit, bounded by the Savannah river and extending south to the frontiers of Florida—a territory of pathless woods, swamps and savannahs; a seacoast studded with a perfect labyrinth of islands and indented by river estuaries and creeks. On foot or in pettiqua-gas and seacontails he worked his parish, traveling in all winds and weather and feeding sparsely. Wrapped in his cloak, he slept on the ground or on deck, drenched with rain and night dews, his clothes sometimes frozen to the earth, fording rivers, losing his way in swamps, reading prayers and preaching to planters and Indian traders and boatmen, singing and reading and praying as he went, observing all his rules, wasting no time, evangelizing every man, woman or child he met with, caring with infinite tenderness for the sick—the bond slave or Jesus Christ, the friend and pastor of lonely colonists. Filipino Justice. Justice tempered by mercy is a praiseworthy thing. But this story, related by an ex-supervisor of education in the Philippines, goes to prove that common sense is quite as desirable an accompaniment of the justice dispensed by the local magistrate of our island possessions. This is the tale: I came home one day just in time to see a thief climbing out the window with the better part of my wardrobe. I gave chase so earnestly that the thief finally dropped the clothes in the street and disappeared. As I gathered up my belongings a native policeman came along and insisted on arresting me. He took me before a Filipino judge, where I told my story very plainly and emphatically. When I had finished, the judge said, "You are dismissed, but you may leave the clothes hero." "But why?" I insisted, angrily. "Because," said he, with sage deliberation, "how can I tell that you speak the truth? When the thief comes back to identify these clothes as the ones he stole, you may have them." Reliable. "Congratulations, old man! How much does your new baby weigh?" "A ton." "Quit your kidding." "Honestly, I'm a coal dealer, and I weighed the baby on my own scales." —Cleveland Leader. The devil is not throwing any mud at the preacher who is trying to prove that sivation begins and ends in the head. Merchant Who Is Friend or Feat. Merchant Who is Friend of formed Tribes Owens Fine Collection. Illinois' bird king is a dry, good merchant, Isaac E. Hess of Philo. He is one of the greatest authorities on ornithology and his collection of stuffed birds, their neats and eggs, is one of the finest in existence. For thirty years he has made a study of the feathered songsters of the air and is their staunch defender. Mr. Hess has for years agitated a closed season on quail shooting lasting for several years. He believes that these birds are the best friends of the farmers and that the "Bob Whites" should be protected from the annual slaughter. He has written a number of articles defending his position and has sought to arouse the Legislature to the importance of this protection. Two broods are raised annually by this species, and if undisturbed woll breed rapidly. A single pair, if not interfered with, will produce 600 young birds in three Isaac E. Hess West and Eggs of Quail Bald Eagle years. He computes each pair of quail as worth $5 annually to the farmer in destroying insects. The persecuted hawk family is also being championed by the Philo enthusius. He has discovered that for every hawk that destroys poultry there are 100 that subsist upon field mice, insects and other small enemies of the farmer. Thousands of hawks are killed every year because of ignorance and prejudice. While studying the beautiful rose-breasted grosbeak, one of the handsomest birds known to the United States, Mr. Hess discovered a strange mystery of nature. He learned to his intense surprise that the grosbeak is the only bird that will eat the potato bug. Students of nature and bird lovers in particular who have inspected the collection of birds, nests and eggs gathered and classified by Mr. Hess, agree that it is one of the finest in America. One case contains eighty birds with the nests and eggs of caii species, every one of which were collected within a few miles of his home. A second case contains 120 specimens secured in other sections of the country. The eggs range from the large mottled type of the vulture to the minute humming bird. Every hour that he can spare from business Mr. Hess devotes to bird lore. He is constantly photographing his feathered friends, never kills one wanlont, but is constantly trying to save them from destruction. He has learned that Illinois alone contains more than 100 specimens of birds that annually nest in this State, and it has been an enormous task to procure a specimen of each with its nest and eggs. A MAN IN A CAR "Not on yer life! Dat's not makes it seem like a genuine automobile." Considerate. "What shall we do, John," said the farmer's wife, who had retained much of her sentiment through twenty-five years of marsied life—"what shall we do to celebrate our silver wedding?" "Reckon up, where all the silver's gone to in bringing up our family," grumbled he. "Oh, no, John; it must be something real good and out of the ordinary. I tell you what. Let us kill the fattest pig and give a banquet." "Marla," said the husband solemn "I don't see how the unfortunate mal is to blame for what his twenty-five years ago."

Members of the union who are members of the Rats have been jarred by the rival inconsistency of the White Rat domination. The effect has been irksome. The Actors' Union of Chicago has called upon the International Union to take up the cards of all members who are White Rats, and the American Federation of Labor is requested to take a hand in the controversy. The Actors' Union has already declared that the White Rats are unfair, in that they have shown a desire to prevent theatrical A. B. Foremost Dramatic Critic. agents and managers of Chicago from getting together with the Actors' Union by stratagem. There is every reason to believe that there has been much truth in reports that come from New York of conflicts between the colored actors and the White Rats, regardless of prominent denials and the arrogance that goes with late day would be emperors of the stage profession who still linger in ignorance. * * * Frank Sheridan, the actor, star of The Derellic company, is one of a sensible element of actors who look favorably and with keen understanding toward real critics of experience. In an interview with a dramatic critic last Sunday here is what Mr. Sheridan had to say: "Real critics are in a sense the governors of the theater. They stand between the managers and the public, and they regulate. They are the first to applaud the new thing, if it is worth applause, and the last to quit hissing the indecent thing. It wasn't the public that ran the lewd shows out of Chicago; it was the critics. The public had nothing to do with it. The public is more to blame for noxious shows than the managers who produce them." Very strong bills have been the rule at the Pekin Theater during the past NOT INCLUDED SUBDIVISION LA SALLE PERRY LA FAYETTE U WANT FIRST BARTI largest Real Estate few months. The bill opened last Monday evening with a white comedy duo and a musical team. The headladders were Mice Abbie Mitchell and Davis and Walker. Joe Simms, who was third on the bill, repeated his former success as a monologue comedian, his work having improved, and was quickened by action, together with up-to-date songs which brought forth laughter and rejoicing. Davis and Walker, a singing and dancing team, neatly attired, artistically graceful and with good voices, made their first appearance at Mott's house this season. Miss Walker's rendition of "Crybaby in the Moon" was well delivered with a voice sweeter than that of the average soubrette. Sam Davis as a comedian is clever and capable, but it was his exceptional ability as a tumbler-that set the audience wild with approval. His headless sonuserm was a world-beater for difficult originality, and his scientific steps in dancing all went to complete an act that was highly interesting. Miss Abbie Mitchell, the charming comedienne, now styled as the queen of song, was the signal for another outburst of welcome and enthusiasm. Her Italian song was the most ambitious number in her repertoire, artistically, and her voice is as sweet as ever. "Lasses Candy Childe" was rendered with irresistible charm. If Miss Mitchell were to lessen the strenuosity of emotional effect so ravishly overdrawn at intervals it would give to her already proficient art a more easy method of vocal expression and dramatic composure. Miss Mitchell's reception was so great that to send kisses would be of more value than a speech. The show closed with a Greek family of acrobats. Next week Theodore and Anna Cook Panker, the supreme nightingale of the musical comedy stage will be the prime attraction on Fourth of July. Joe and Sadie Britton will return in better form. The Griffin sisters and Miller and Lyles will also appear. The Monogram opened with Downs and Brown and Frank Stewart as new-comers. Brooks and Brown are holdovers with Lottie Grady, who is in her third week. Miss Grady's handling of live snakes last week was wonderful, and also dangerous, but drew large houses. Next week will be her last and best. The Grand has Moss and Frye, Thomas and Cumby, Huggins and Berry and another team this week. The singers at the Grand have been suffering from too much instrumental music lately. There was a time when the clarionet supported the voices, but now the voices support the loud, horrid squeak from the orchestra. It seems to be the strangest thing ever to note how stage managers and musicians advance themselves to head stockholders in theaters right up to the day that managers set them out on the street.

The musical program consisted of vocal and instrumental selections by Helen Goodman, Maud Brewer, Nettle Norton and Madam McCoy, a quartette of ladies who sang sweetly with voices that were in perfect harmony and accord. There was suspicion that this is the professional quartette known as the Samoan Girls. Miss Anita White rendered a solo in excellent style, accompanied by Miss Gertrude Jackson. Madam Patti-Brown, who was to appear, was indisposed. The lawn was brilliantly lighted with Japanese candles and there was quite a gathering present. The Howard Theater of Washington, D.
