SCOTT BOND TELLS Scott Bond's Secret of Wealth is to Retain Convincing Interest in Every Business Venture He Makes. IGNORED RACE PREJUDICE. Rents Acres Only Only to Those Who Let Him Build Their Houses and Who Buy His Supplies, and His System Works Well. Special to the Chicago Intender New York, Aug. 26.—Can the Ethiopian change his color or the leopard his spota? Financially the African has done so, as a look at the eleven hundred delegates assembled here at the tent annual convention of the Negro Business Men's League will demonstrate. The sum total of wealth of the delegates meeting at Palm Garden would foot up high. They are crisp of speech and keen of thought. Nearly every third man is a banker. For enterprise and perseverance there is hardly one but what could set an example for his Canadian neighbors. Rockefeller of Race. There are a few million white men in the United States who, had they done what Scott Bond has done in eleven years, would have a right to feel puffed up. And Scott Bond is a black man. From a "sheer cropper" that himself describes as "when you aren't nothin' and it don't look as if you weren't" it to the Rockefeller of the Negro race that in eleven years, requires a little more than average attention to business. It takes genius. Then it must be genius that Scott Bond has, for he was a "sheer cropper", in 1898, and now the southern Democratic papers write editorials on his wealth, which is going some, if you know the papers. Scott Bond is wrinkled and limps when he walks. He limps because he was a "sheer cropper" for five and in ordinance a pleasure a "sheer cropper" to allow white women one in another man's farm and gets it the proceed for his trouble. Up at the Negro Business Men's convention in Palm Garden, Bond told modestly yetoday how anybody can rise above "sheer cropping." Tells Secret of Success. All one has to do is to have the "spirit grab hold and move him," and then furnish the ability, stick to it, push, progressiveness and energy himself. "I didn't have a penny," said Bond, who is fifty-eight. "All I had was a wife and a lot of hungry children and nothing to feed them. I was near Madison, Arkansas, in a shanty when I saw a chance to work a man's farm for a year on shares. I was to do the work and he was to get half the results. I was to keep the rest. "I took the job. I saved some money the first year and at the end of that unit twenty-five from the farm owner. The next year I had enough to rent the whole farm. That is, I didn't have the money, but I was producing enough cotton, which I sent to a merchant to pay rent on the whole farm. The merchant took the cotton and paid the land owner. I didn't see any of the money. All I had was a few dollars that was left over after paying. Gave Him the Money. "I stuck to that for four years and then one day the merchant and the nd owner quarreled, and the mernt told me he wouldn't pay the ay to the land owner. He gave w payed O myself. That it gave me the start. it was $1,250. I can't for' felt when I put that en-pocket and started out miles alone to pay the The Chicago Defender. before. I seemed like a million to me them, and I kept hugging my arms over it to see if it was there. On the way I got curious. I had never seen so much money and I wanted to know how it looked. "So I took out the envelope and spread the bills on a log in the woods. Then I walked round and round them, and I said to myself: 'I made it myself, but I've got to pay it out in rent.' Never Pay Rent Again. "That one thought nettled my mind. I determined never to pay rent again. I took the money to the land owner and told him I was going to buy fils land as soon as I could. He gave it to me on easy payments and I paid for it. That was the beginning. I had never had education, so I decided to educate myself, business by watching how others did business. I kept on buying land until now I own 3,300 acres of it, and the rents from it bring me $10,000 a year. "I rent the land at $7 an acre, but I refuse to rent it unless the tenants agree to let me build their houses and to buy all their farm implements at my store, which I built and stocked with my growing income. The store covers a block and is of concrete, and I keep everything. They buy the carload. Then in addition, I stand three cotton gins, the largest of which has a capacity of 100 bales a day. $11,000 to Pull Whistle. "It cost me $11,000 to pull the whistle on this gin. In other words, that's what the plant cost me. The other two gins have a capacity of 50 bales a day. Last year the returns from them was $36,000." The store, of course, pays a nice profit, well up in the thousands, and with a few other interests I control I have a comfortable income," and Bond smiled. This Negro, who in eleven years rose from a poverty stricken laborer to the leading figure in business in his section of the state, has eleven children. "And nary one's a girl," he declared; "nary one." MAKES CHILDREN HAPPY DOWN BY THE LAKE AFTER RIDE ON NORTHWESTERN R. R. The Social Settlement idea is the highest expression of illustrated Christianity applicable to all sorts and conditions of mankind. The Gads Hill Settlement has taken the lead in the provision of a fresh air outing for the children of the overcrowded city districts. Through its association, which consists of the co-operation of other settlements and centers and individuals, a 23-acre tract, has been purchased at Lake Bluff, ill., where an outfit of tents, furnished with cots, household comforts, etc., are offered free of charge to those applying for aid. The grounds are supplied with kitchen, laundry, dining room, concert hall, offices, library, hospital, coffee kitchen and baby fold, where the infants receive special care. The usual settlement activities are conducted in the morning, the afternoon being devoted to pleasure, bathing at the beach, etc. The mothers' meetings and practical talks to the young people are given in the evening prior to the concerts. All day the wealthy people who contribute so liberally to this cause call at the grounds to see the fruits of their labors—the joy of giving to others. This year the attendance is three thousand, one and great preparations are being made to entertain several hundred more next year. About 400 are present now, the Northwestern railway giving free transportation. The Douglas Center had the use of two tents for two weeks, where the colored children enjoyed the benefit of the outing. They held the prize banner tent, a mark of model housekeeping, for about 100 feet on the ground. About 100 feet are on the ground. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1910 LEXINGTON, MISSOURI Its Business Men, Professional Men, Clergymen and Working Men, Wants the World to Know What They Are About. MAN MUST NOT LIVE ALONE. Tell All Chicago We Are Rising. Our White Friends Here Gives Us a Chance and Are Assisting Us in Every Way. By J. H. Arnold. Lexington, Mo., Aug. 26.—Things among our race in this city are looking up nicely. Mr. Ed. Walker has built a new home on Seventeenth street, a frame house with six or seven nice rooms. His son Ulysses has painted the entire building by himself, and now the Walker family has a beautiful home. They have plenty of good milk and butter for sale, and let the good people patronize Mrs. Walker by buying her milk, butter and eggs, and thus help the race. This is one biggest trouble in this town, that they try to pull each other down, instead of taking our brothers and sisters by the hand and trying to lift them up. Let the Negroes of this city go into business, put up grocery stores, meat shops, shoe stores, bakery shops, and stop drinking so much whisky and beer. Our race has banks, drug stores, etc., in other towns and cities. why in other towns and the same in Lexington, Mo.? It is because our young men and women spend too much of their money and time in saloons, dance halls, gambling saloons, and the young people of Lexington never will amount to the cut out this fast sporting life of buying clothes, etc. Most of our young people don't study about anything else but their high brown or chocolate drop. Some of our young people do nothing but run up and down the streets from morning until midnight, and the Sheriff after them all the time. The young Negroes of Lexington would better hustle and do something while they are young and able to work. They will suffer for many things when they reach the age of 60 and 75. Some of our young people won't work when they can get work to do. They are too lazy to stand on their feet. The harvest is ripe, the laborers are few, and if you don't work now, old age will overtake you. The exercises rendered at the Zion A. M. E. Church Sunday night, August 14, were a success. The paper by Mrs. C Talbert and daughter was good Miss Ethel Henderson read a good paper also. Our sweet Jilly, Miss K. Walker, read a good paper. Prof. G. H. Green and J. M. Freeman made short talks which were good. choir was at its best and rendered choir so well. Miss M. Woodson had charge of the choir, the queen, Miss E. M. Hunter, being absent from the city. The young people of Lexington are not all asleep. We have some wideawake young men and women in our city. Some of our young friends got red hot about the news Mr. Arnold has published in the issue of August 13 and didn't like it at all, but Mr. Arnold doesn't care if they don't. He is 27 years of age and old enough to know his business as a news reporter. If you don't want bad things said about you, do right and leave other people's business alone. Yes, we have a business and when in this town who are not to live with a dead dog, much less decent people. If Mr. Arnold's medicine don't suit your case, just let it alone. A word to the wise is sufficient. Mr. Arnold knows his business. This thing of playing baseball on Sunday in this city should be stopped, as it is drawing too many of our young and old church members from the church, and there is too much cursing and swearing going on at the ball ground on Sunday. If the law is able to close the saloons on Sunday, what is the reason it cannot move this ball playing? It is leading more of our young people to hell and destruction than anything else, and worst of all, some of the old people are worse than the young ones. Some people haven't no more respect for Sunday than a cat has for a dead rat. Miss Hazel Smith and sister Hattie, spent a few days in Kansas City, Mo., visiting friends. They report a fine time. Mrs. Pauline Johnson left Sunday evening for Omaha, Neb., to work and visit her friends. Mr. William Lee of St. Louis, Mo., was in our city last week to visit Mrs. E. Blackwell N. Badd, his friend, was glad to see him. Look here, my friends, if you don't hurry up and send in your orders for groceries, etc., you are going to get left. The price of sugar is going up. You had better get a move on you and see the salesman at once. J. H. Arnold, 15 Clinton street, room No. 2, Lexington, Mo. Get the habit of buying at wholesale prices. Mr. M. Radd and B Walker, the hustlers, will have a stand at the colored fair in Higginsville, Mo. August 31 and September 2 and 3, 1910. Look for them when you get hungry. They will treat you right and feed you well. You will find the best news of Lexington, Mo. in the Chicago Defender every week. If you like it tell your friend to get a copy of the paper. If you don't like it leave it alone and attend to your own business--that's all. Col. John R.

This means indies only. Maj. R. R. Jackson, who won in River got the situation of the enemy turned today with his regiment full black or white. Give them a call. They will treat you right.—Ad. It was published in the issue of August 13 that Mr. Leman Heywood would be married soon. This may be true, but if he gets the young lady he is now courting for a wife he will be tickled to death, for Miss E. Brown is a sweet young lady and Mr. Heywood certainly does love her. She is one that is well loved and very charming, and if Mr. Heywood does happen to marry her we hope he will be able to make her a good husband and do all he can to make life happy for her, for she is certainly a sweet, beautiful and charming young lady. Oh, you Leman, how good of you to have such a loving sweetheart. What's the matter with H. Brown? He is dreaming about Miss B. Freeman. We guess he has soapsuds on his brain. Dr. Greene's Sarsaparilla, the great blood and nerve tonic, is still on sale at the advertised price, large $1 bottle for 39c. Better get a bottle before it all is gone. I have sold 55 or 80 bottles in two weeks' time. It's fine for the blood and nerves. It won't last long; better get it now.—Adv. Mrs. Matilda Mathews and Mr. George Washington have been sick in bed for the past three or four weeks, but both are able to be up again at present. Mr. L. Baldridge and B. Conway seem to be running a race with each other in the barbering business and if Conway don't win it will be be cause he is too fat to run. Get behind him, boys, and help him win. You can only do it by giving him your trade. He loves money and will laugh himself to death for more. Conway is the clown of the town and a jolly good fellow. So is L. Baldridge. He loves money and the young women both, but money is what he wants most. Help these young men to the top of the ladder and some day both will reach down a helping hand towards us. Don't cook your Sunday dinner at home. Just go around and see O. J. Mullen. He can feed 100 colored people if you patronize him. He wants your trade. He has plenty of chicken, fish, ice cream, cake, etc. Better see him early before the great rush comes in. You will find him on South Ninth street, opposite Geyer's Grand opera house. He is a fine fellow. There is going to be something doing in Higginsville, Mo., August 31. September 2 and 3, at the colored fair in Boulder, will be going to have his fine horses on the race track.

Wilburn and others will box ten or twelve rounds. Miss E. M. Hunter will knock the whole thing to pieces singing, etc. Let everybody go down and have a fine time. Of course, Mr. Arnold will be on hand to catch all the news. Better watch for him—he might catch B. Brown running off with Miss M. Gordon. Well, that's all right; if B. B. loves Miss M. G. let him have her. Both are all right and Miss M. G. will never get out of B. B.'s sight as long as he has an old nag and a huggy. A certain young man by the name of William Talbert of this city went to Richmond, Mo. last Sunday and stood on the streets all day eating those good hot cakes. There are plenty of restaurants over there and Talbert tried to swallow up the whole town. I guess he got enough kisses from the Richmond girls, as he was almost biting his tongue off when the pretty girls passed by him. Oh my! how Talbert did make those cakes fly. It's a wonder he didn't die. A pretty girl kissed him and T. P. says it ain't no he. How about this, Talbert? Well, he is the lady charmer, so let him go. Mrs. Mat Balridge and daughter Sister, went to St. Charles, Mo., last week on a few weeks' visit to Mr. A. Balridge and wife. Mr. T. P. is dreaming so much about his sweetheart, Miss K. W., that he hasn't time to say his prayers at night before he goes to bed; also Mr M. S. is crazy to see his little wife from Omaha, Neb. If he don't see her soon we will have to put him in the ice box to keep him cool. And if Mr. Arnold don't see Miss E. T. B. soon we will have to send him to the crazy house. Everybody loves fun, but how the Lexington kids do love those sweet yellow gals. The recital given at the Zion A. M. E. Church Thursday night by Miss Mildred his wife was extraordinarily fine. She is one of the sweetest young ladies that ever set her foot on the stage and one that the people of Lexi 10 ter, Walker, Frazer, etc., that can go out into the world and let the young Negroes of Lexington are doing. The young people of Lexington are pushing things to the front and helping to make the race what it ought to be. We hope Miss Hawkins will continue in the good work, she is doing for the uplift of our race in this city; also others that are doing a great work. Lexington comes second to none in helping to uplift the race and one the everybody in Lexington is crazy about it is Miss Allie Freeman, the sweetest girl that God ever put on earth. May He who does all things well take care of these young people and help them to be honest, truthful and upright men and women. Miss S. Shaefer left Saturday morning for Waverly, Mo., to spend a few days with friends. See Alvin Johnson for a first class class at Grazy Bros. Ninth and Main street. Miss Mary Anna Woodson returned home Sunday night from Kansas City, Kansas, where she has been visiting her aunt, Mrs. Tillel R. Moss, and other friends. She is thinking of going back soon, she enjoyed herself so well while there. She hopes Mr. Alvin Johnson's pains are cased now. She is the sweetest child that ever his baby. She is a sweet, charming lived, and Mr. Johnson certainly loves girl. Johnson is the candy kid. He certainly has a sweet little sweetheart. There was a surprise party given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Lewin is Curtis Saturday night in honor of their daughter, Miss Addle Curtis. Those present were Misses Maizy Woodson, Myrtle Gordon, Eva Hunter, Mayne Lawson, Bessie Lawson, Katie Walker, Pauline Bloise, Nellie Ray, Cordella Hayden, Juanita Jones, Katie Gates, Ollie Hancock, Tina Reed, Tempa Wilson, Orle Jackson, Mrs. J.

The young people left at a late hour, feeling themselves highly entertained. William Talbert tried to eat up the whole house. He wants some more cakes. Tom, please give Talbert those cakes at once. John H. Arnold is still selling the Chicago Defender like hot cakes. Did you get a copy? If not you missed the whole cheese. Better get a copy. If you, don't your sweetheart will give you a black eye. What about those cakes. Talbert? Miss Curtis is one of those sweet roses-cheeked girls, and all the young men admire her. Some of our young men between the ages of 25 and 30 are the biggest fools that ever lived. They are always running after some of our fast, good for nothing girls between the ages of 10, 12 or 13 years, and if their parents don't watch out its going to cause trouble. If the report is true, Mr. William Cogstall and Miss K. Howard are engaged. But Sunday night Mr. Cogstall was at the Baptist church with four other girls on his way to throw in collection. He was so mesmerized he stumbled over the rug in the aisle and all four of the young ladies had to catch him to keep him from falling. The Misses J. Jones and A. Curtis were out horseback riding. They were the first young lad as that have ever ridden on Main street. We here that some more of our society girls will take pattern after them. Since Miss E. B. from Dover, Mo. has lost her school at Hodge, Mo. she has become so attached to Mr. L. H. that the Lexington girls are beneath her notice. ```markdown ``` Lleut. Co. James H.

Winston, Special to the Chicago Defender. The well-being of society would be greatly promoted if the nature and use of this Christian virtue were more generally known. I take this to be, in personal intercourse, the observance of the command, Do to others as you would that others should do to you. The most rapid glance at any community shows this, that some of its members are brought into contact, in matters of business necessarily; others meet incidentally who have no particular connection; others meet for social purposes in various forms, and that there is a large proportion who know of each other very little beyond the fact that they are of the same country and perhaps not even that. There must be a host rule of deportment. In all these classes, and no one will deny that if this rule were defined and faithfully applied there would be much more of every day comfort and complacency in the world than there is well known to be; I rightly understand the meaning of civility. It is the manifestation of kind feelings and of a desire to do all things which are to be done under the influence of such feelings, in a becoming and agreeable manner. If every person understood the true foundation of society, the common origin of all its members, their community of interests, their necessary action upon and with each other, it might be supposed that all who are reasonable would be civil. They would be so because they would promote the good of others, and because they would know that in so doing they would conform to the design of their creation. I do not include unnatural termicity in the great duties of justice, acts of charity, important personal services. They arise out of some special relation which an individual bears to one or more other individuals; it seems to be limited to the manner in which the common or accidental intercourse of the members of society in general should be carried on. This matter may be better understood by some example: Thups. if one comes into the character of another like Mr. W. P. Gordon in Portland, the ex railroad and sleeping car porter, begar, servant, laborer, mechanic, trader, merchant, farmer, lawyer, physician, clergyman or public officer, or if it be a female or child of either, there may be very various modes of employment, for certainty, by every one of the laws which I am endeavoring to illustrate, these several persons are entitled to civility. Even the begar, perhaps one should rather say the begar in particular, if not deformed by voluntary transgression, should be received with civility; that is, gentleness, kindness, decorum, are to be observed relatively to each one. Why? Because no man can afford to be deemed insensible to the cause of reasonable humanity, nor a stranger to the decencies of life, nor ignorant what is due from him, nor to him in any other open nature, sometimes called to him in doings disagreeable to myself, and exceedingly so to others, but there is no good sense in performing such duty morosely and with inhumanity. Remember Mr. W. P. Gordon, the ex railroad and sleeping car porter by sending in your little mite to 739 East 40th street, to help this poor porter on his feet. COLORED CLERK IN SOUTHERN WHITE BANK.

When the word went around the steamboat United States that a colored excursion was going out, something that has never happened before, the crew figured that there would be all kinds of trouble, but when they returned from the trip the captain assured the committee that he would rather have them than many of the whites that take passage with them from time to time. A little over 200 attended, and if the host could be waited, 600 more would have taken the sail. Let us all shake hands with St. Thomas for the beautiful decorum of the "1200."

But Snatched Away Just as They Were About to Cross the Ohio River by Citizens of Chicago. ELITERATE NEGRO THE CAUSE George Chivers, a White Folks' Nigger of Arkansas Turns Up Man Who Befriended Him. Gov. Deneen to Grant Hearing in Case. Monday night while the storm was racing and the rain and lightning seemed to rent the very earth, Rev. A. J. Carey, Dan, Jackson, Attorneys Ed. Wright and W. G. Anderson were trying to undo the work of a dirty set of Irish policemen at Harrison street police station, and a white folks' nigger by the name of George Chivers; Steven Green who left an Arkansas farmer, because he would not be able to work there when he did, he was shot like a dog by the white Spolas; Green carries a bullet in his neck one in his arm and another in his thigh. But Green got away, went to his cabin, got a winchester, fired, Sellas dropped not to rise. The dirty and contemptible herd of money grabbers at Harrison street got Green into their clutches, through George Chivers because Green would not let him (Chivers), have two dollars. Goo. Chivers sleeps at the Working Men's Home, 15th and State streets, which place now being watched by engaged men who have cided to tar and feather him. Cooler heads are prevalent on the young man and the chances are they will only invite the brute to leave the city. Mr. Ed. Green and Dr. A. J. Carey, who went to call on Gov. Chas S. Deneen, returned to the city, much encouraged; the case will come up today. Will some of the ladies clubs furnish the prisoner with clothes? Green had been spirited out of town by the Arkansas sheriff, who had gotten him as far as Cairo, in a few miles of the state line, when he was wired to the city, he reached him and he was brought to his cell in the Harrison street police station through a writ of habeas corpus. Rev. A. J. Carey, pastor of the Institutional church, Thirty-first street and Dearborn avenue, and Edward D Green, former member of the Illinois legislature, on their way to Peoria to ask Gov. Deneen, who is there at the military encampment of the national guard, not to issue extradition papers for Green. They will argue that Green can not be given a fair and impartial trial in Arkansas and for that reason should not be extradicted. Plans to Balk Mob. Attorney, W. G. Anderson, representing the侵害 of Chicago acted in behalf of Green, and said today that he had done so mainly to "prevent a lynching." "Green's fire that he will be thrown into a bonfire is not without foundation," said Attorney Anderson. "He insists that he killed the planner, William Sedlas, in self-defense, but if he had the best defense in the world it would not avail him in Arkansas. The many lynchings there prove it. "The fact that the prisoner was turned over to the custody of a sheriff does not mean that he would not be lynched. The only guarantee that Green has that he will not be lynched when he reaches Arkansas is for the governor of that state to give the prisoner military protection." Steward Faces Contempt Case. As a result of the habeas corpus proceedings Chief Steward faces contempt charges for having permitted the prisoner to be spirited from Chicago after notice was given the chief that habeas corpus proceedings had been instituted. Judge Tullibh after hearin gargurments on the suit by Attorney Andrew, ordered that the prisoner be turned over to the custody of Chief Steward Strassheim and cited Chief Steward and Inspector Wheeler to be present in court Saturday at the resumption of the hearing.

By All Means Send a Colored Man to Springfield to Represent You—Another Is Needed in Washington to Represent the Race at Large—Send a Man Will Do His Duty—None Other Need Apply. The services of the Negro legislators of Ohio and Illinois in their anti-lynching legislation, which so rigidly stopped Lynch laws in Illinois and is now making an Ohio county pay $5,000 to the family of its recent arrests are starting widespread apprehension. The Library Digest of July 30, in commenting upon the recent lynching at Newark, Ohio, and quoting from the West Virginia Advocate, a Negro journal, says: "That a white sheriff should be removed from office for failure to protect a white prisoner from mob violence and that the county should be compelled to pay a substantial sum of money to the heirs of the man lynched—that all this should have to be done in compliance with statutes requiring stranger—but none the less frighten." It was more than a coincidence, it was really the irony of fate that Harry C. Smith, Negro editor of the Cleveland Gazette, fathered in the Ohio Legislature the law requiring counties to pay the heirs of persons lynched $5,000. This law was afterward successfully engineered through the Illinois legislature by the Negro County, Edward D. Green. Then Smith's, H. H. Green, another Negro from Cleveland, berowed from Illinois the law introduced by a Negro member providing for the removal of a sheriff in whose county a lynching occurred. "And here we also have two of the most advanced pieces of legislation against a national evil, both having as sponsors members of that race which has suffered most from mob violence." The Negro legislator in Ohio and Illinois, if he had done nothing more than to secure these acts, which provide the best cure yet found for the ill that disgraces the nation, has greatly justified his election. STATE FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS MEETS AT PEORIA. By J. Fenton Johnson. Peoria, Ill., August 26th.—Amid cheers that almost equaled those accorded Miss Elizabeth Carter in Louisville, last month, Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay Davis, President of the Phyllis Wheatley Club, was elected President of the Illinois Federation of Colored Women at Peoria last Thursday afternoon. The rules were suspended and Mrs. Davis was unanimously chosen as head of the body. The session opened Tuesday and closed Thursday night. Several prominent people, white and black addressed the body. The Mayor extended the hospitality of the town to the women and commended them upon their honor and intelligence. Mrs. Jennie McClain lead reminiscences of the club work since the arrival of Mrs. Eva Morroe, the retiring President, read her annual address, and Mrs. Joanna Snowden told of her work in the Juvenile Courts. The election of Mrs. Davis was a big surprise. She is considered the founder of the Home, and served two terms as state organizer and two as national organizer. In the latter position she is said to have made the greatest record to date. At the end of the week she will will be given a reception by those who have attended the establishment of the Phyllis Wheley Home. She refused an office at the National Assembly this summer, and said just after the election: "When the convention meets again I hope that there will be all the harmony that there should be in such an important body." As to my election all that I can say is 'I am grateful.' The other members elected were—tate vice-pres. Mrs. Elsa Stanford; See's Mrs. L. LaFayette; Treas, Mrs. R. Hunter; Chm. Ex-Com, Mrs. Sarah Sheppard; Chm. of Ways and Means, Mrs. Emma Kennedy; Satte Organizer, Mrs. Ida Lewis; Tress, Mrs. Jennie McClain. MISS RUTH MCGHEE, THE BELLE OF THE SEASON. Miss Ruth McGhee, St. Paul, Minnesota's leader of the young Smart Set who spent several weeks in our city as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Julius N. Avendorph, this summer, captivated Chicago's young Smart Set. She was one of those young women, that an introduction was all that was necessary to make you admire her, possessed of a sweet affable disposition that caused the girls to fall in love with her, say nothing of the young men who lost their hearts. Miss McGhee, ever decided to put a city another visit, no one will be more grateful. 3216 Wabash Avenue CHICAGO'S SMART SET AND ITS GUEST DISAPPOINTED. What was to have been the covering climax of Chicago's summer cool season, proved one of the greatest disappointments Chicago's Smart set have ever been subjected to; and it all came through the failure of two musicians to keep their word, after realizing how important they were, since all the other desirable musicians playing the same instrument, namely (cornet and trap with the Eighth Regiment or in Dearborn with the Knight Templers. Mr. Julius N. A. Dorph, had one of his delightful subscription Dancing Parties booked for Thursday evening, August 25th, at Oakland Music Hall, and it was a success from a standpoint of acceptances; but rather than have the party fall below the high standard of his former parties, they sent the subscribers, informing them that the party had been called off on account of disappointment in music. When it comes to the right thing at the right time, Mr. Avendorph, cannot be improved on. TEETH KNOCKED OUT. Monday evening last, at 39th and Wabash avenue, a white gentleman from Mississippi lived Henry Rogers $5.00 to show him where his colored lady friend lived who hate it and rived on Sunday. It seems that lady had been living on the Colonel's plantation against her will. Mr. Rogers instead of taking the Colonel's money knocked him in the mouth, felling him to the sidewalk. When he awoke he was minus three teeth. The young man asked the Colonel, how dare you ask such a question. When a passing stranger asked the trouble the above story was told, but the assailant half fled. GRADUATIING EXERCISES AT MME BRIDGE'S SCHOOL OF DRESS MAKING.

CHICAGO AS A MECCA FOR VISITORS. Chicago is without a doubt one of the greatest meccas for visitors, and more so, that is, in a point of numbers, in the last three years than ever before. Nevertheless, we have our usual share of the best people from all over the States each year, and there is no city in the States, where they are more royally entertained on a small scale. Receptions from two to six or five to seven seems to be the prevailing entertainment of late years. Of course, Chicago has many points in the sight of sight seeing, that is, a museum visitor can entertain themselves without having any social life, but let that be as it may, nothing takes the place of an afternoon or evening's entertainment, especially where dancing is one of the features. Every woman visitor likes to have a chance to show her pretty gowns and she need not be an exception to the rule either, therefore, nothing can take the place of a high class hall party, which offers a splendid opportunity for the visitors to meet and exchange views with Mrs. Emanuel, Mrs. H. G. Alexander, Mrs. Hayman, Mrs. M. Manning Mai, Mrs. Benjamin Johnson, Mrs. Waring, Mrs. M. Lewis and Mrs. B. Johnson, all gave delightful affair this summer. A warrior in a warrior's attire.

Stationery, Confectionery, Cigars, Tobacco and Newspapers, Bread, Cakes and Pies Before Buying C Me. Whom? EDWARD FELIX patronage is of great gain to the music hall saloon business where some of the race are obliged to perform continuously in order to earn a living. They have determined it must be amused, and managers who think they can fool the public by giving all races and colors frightfully mislead; the song of the big pipe with an Irish reel wont go, and the rainstorm of the Negro, as a whole. So in the second class element it would behove all managers of the race to keep brilliant actors out of the saloons and lazy actors out of jail. It will be the duty of this new middle class alliance to build up a new and progressive American spirited assortment of poorest of the new demands of a higher grade of legitimate performances so important to the upbuilding of a race, done the fopish correspondents of newspapers will have less chance and availability, by being in New York or Chicago and should be named the "Consolidated Managers" be the booking problem. The best suggestion that can possibly be offered to the booking system, for example, from New York or to continue from Albany on a western ling to Chicago. Another route could be from New York south through Virginia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee and Ohio to Chicago through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana to Chicago, could be negotiated. The far western link should be maintained to Washington, including Canada territory, from Canada through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mexico and West Virginia back to Chicago, or proceed southward. The understanding is that the Consolidated Managers syndicate formed to book all colored acts principally in colored theatres and houses as desire good colored acts and willing to book one act each week as a connecting link of the syndicate and managers Alliance. Managers who belong to other associations and syndicates should not be prohibited in a manager of office standing should be eligible to memorialize a child's manager of office enough managers white and colored, should come together and invest only the expenses of a trip by two delegates, one colored and one white, who should tour the country according to the aforementioned suggestion and form a circuit. They are the剧院 enough in the vaudeville and moving picture class and it would only cost a few thousand dollars and take only six months to have it in full operation.

One subject will appear each week. FIRST SUBJECT: "The Adventures of Harper and White Manure's Allure." (How, it should be effected and the form of Booking Vaudeville Artists). In providing amusement for the public, we have a variety of colors and behavior. In searching for variety among usage performers we have the ability to recognize the features of different colors and behavior. among stage performers we have the ability to perform in uniform of different colors and behavior. The color of these animals cuts no difference among animals accustomed to their value as a public offering and all importance. With this fact in view, men have selected among animals accustomed to their value as we have reached an age where money goes ahead of all things else, we have selected among animals white man in the show business to lose sight of color and grab at some of the loose cash money that can be found in the audience. If the people of any race in America, if the white and colored managers in the picture houses do not combine to employ all the cleverest of colored performers, we found as musicians, sketch writers as musicians, the general value of that grade of amusement business will be demoralizing and denote the greater fraction that is to be, and they must be kept in employable work. They are therefore not eligible to manual labor by proficiency—and if they are not given something to do with their business they will find the reduction of its M. B. Houses to Rent and Money to Loan and Employment Found to Pay it Back Again by M Inspector for C. & E. I. R. R. Phone Douglas 5766 Phone 2411 Douglas R. B. WILLIAMS, Manager promoters should be managers with big houses and they should subscribe to the Gollard's Guild and assess country managers $100 to become a member indefinitely or withdraw at any time by forfeiting the guarantee of regulation membership. The two delegates mentioned should first circle from New York through the states to south, then in such a way, that vaudeville artists can be booked from New York without missalism the week jumping over 100 miles at the longest. When the syndicate of the剧院 is established, artists can be booked without any advanceance open offices in New York and Chicago and book their own performers or work in community houses. It would not require that these offices link throughout the north and New England would have to necessarily be in two colored acts each week. One would need book less than one or more than two colored acts each week. One would need book less than one or more than enough colored acts would have to be supplied to keep an all colored bill on agencies would have to be established at New Orleans, Memphis and Norfolk. Then would come the required duty of performing prominent newspapers throughout the country that all the colored actors of every description may be enrolled and assess country headquarters in New York and Chicago. (Second subject next week.) The Sporting World By Jack Pot. BURNS TO MEET JACK JOHNSON? Hugh McIntosh tells Seattle Flight Followers of his Plans.

I am reliably informed that at each meeting of the Anti-Dewey organization in the Second ward, which contemplates the candidate to the next General Assembly at the September primaries, that there are certain members of that club who delight in making unpleasant remarks about me because any assistance in its efforts to nominate their candidate. I cannot understand why I should be so interested in it, unless it is the members feel and think the every one who did service in the interest of Mr. E. H. Wright during his campaign for a seat in the city council is in duty to the candidate. I am Hamilton as chairman of the Wright campaign committee, and I had the honor of being his vice-chairman; that because of a fact during that campaign I succeeded in getting the largest meeting of the sort ever held amongst the colored people of Chicago. In view of the fact that I cannot answer can you tell me how we separately, I have decided to make this application to all whom my views in this matter happen to displease. In the first place I would like to strike at the Wright campaign, supported by amongst political sentiment, especially amongst the colored people in this community, and, secondly, I would possessed of such commendable qualifications would have been a credit to his race had he been fortunate enough to be elected; and in many other colored people, felt in duty to give him my support in his efforts. But the case of Mr. Hamilton, in his attempts to acquire a seat in the Illinois attempts to acquire a seat in the Illinois there is no principle, in a quite different. There is no principle, in a quite different. There is simply one colored man fighting against another to acquire a high honor. Nor is there any sentiment amongst the colorful people in the community demanding Mr. Hamilton, and election. On the other hand, he is so prepared from the standpoint either of business, professional or political qualifications the high position to which he is aspiring. Hamilton is this campaign, who is Mr. Edward Green these respects by far Mr. Hamilton's superior. Mr. Green has wide business expe- PLAY BALL.

Now, as between the two men, can there be any doubt in the minds of any fair or any one else should support? Indeed, there is such a wide margin of difference between the necessary qualifications of these two men for this high post in the affairs of the state, that made between them. As to Mr. Hamilton's personal character, so far as I know, no one can find fault in him, and it can be shown that he is made as to the personel and business character of his opponent? We think it can. The time has come when the colored people are commanding the high respect which they hold for their most capable and experienced men to fill high places of honor and power, where-they are to come into contact and arm with the white men in like positions. The negro race has in the past paid too little attention to this important side of our history of recognition and respect from our neighbors; to take them a long stride in the right direction hitherto ignored by us. My choice this campaign for representation from the First senatoral tribrict in the next Illinois Legislature ought to be shared by every other colored man who has the interest of the race at heart. I am encouraging casting my efforts in favor of Edward D. FORECLOSURE SALE 4115 Wabash Avenue.

Hunt, of Nashville, Tenn., Pullman Porter. It is highly necessary to avoid too much familiarity in conversation. It is an old adage—"Too much familiarity breeds contempt." So he that familiarity must be limited to superiority which his serious air and good deportment give him, and consequently his credit. The more common human things are the less they are essential to his success, and that prudent reserve concealed. We must not be too familiar with superiors, because of dangers not with inferiors by reason of indecency, and because of ignorance of morance renders insolent. For being insensible of the honors done them, they presume it is their duty, in your discourse be cautions what you speak, and in your speech be cautions what you speak, and when you speak. Speak wisely, speak truly. A fool's heart is in his tongue, but a wise man's tongue in his heart. It seems that Mr. Thinness has great deal at paying a great deal of attention to the conversation of the employees of the Pullman Company, and I can not find anything wrong in his statement.
