Special to the Chicago Defender. Paris, France, Nov. 25.—The riot which occurred hero during the visit of the United States fleets was due to the fact that the Colored tars took better with the Parisian girls than did the white ones. The row started from the fact that several of the Southern states' white sailors made insulting remarks to the Colored men when they entered the cafe with the white girls. A sailor remarked that a "Nigger" would never think of walking into a restaurant or on the street with a white woman. Before he could finish his remarks the Colored men pounced on the man that made the remark and a general mule took place. The women ran into the kitchen of the restaurant and no harm was done them. The fight was a beautiful affair. For a time it was a hand to hand fight. When the white sailors began to lose they drew their knives and began to slash right and left, but they were met in this particular and were worsted, whereupon one man broke through a great plate glass window and flew for the station, which trains would take him to his ship, the Colored boys having blocked the doorway. The great crush of the plate glass and fleeing Tar besmeared with blood caused great excitement, and a general call was sent in for the police, who came in hot haste. Out of the eight Colored tars one was cut severely and had to be taken to the hospital and had to have his arm bandaged from a knife cut, while there were ten white sailors lying on the floor unconscious from loss of blood and the reign of heavy blows from tables, pitchers and everything else that would repel the onslaughter or a set of white rifles who have seen and taken hand in many a lynching in the South. From all accounts there were about 50 white American sailors in the Cafe at the time of the frucus. HORACE WHITE ASSAULTED. Horace White, a Pullman porter, was assaulted Sunday morning at 5:30 a.m. at the corner of 47th and Armour avenue by three burly toughs with a two-by-four plank across the forehead at a house rent rag, cutting an ugly gash over his eye and nose. The police captured the three men and landed them in the 50th street police station. Horace White, a Pullman porter, who recently met with an accident on crossing a railroad track, and his foot was caught in a frog wrenched his leg and ankle and was forced to use a crutch, wandered into this house rent rag and some woman stepped on his foot, causing him to see many stars and pains, and he was vexed at the woman and told her that she should make an apology. This woman got back at him, using an oath and other words, would not look good in print, and those three hurly Negroes印 printed upon him and inflicted a dangerous wound upon him. White's forehead, upon hisporter could learn Mr. White is of good reputation and of a good family, but Mr. White should stay away from such deps as these house rent jennies, as they breed nothing but crime. The police got bested now Porter White is marked for life at the hands of thugs. The men who hit him are of the lowest class. They are men who live on the sweat of women. They are men who would enter your house, looking to take away your hard earnings. They are men who are safe to let run upon the public highway. They are men who would destroy the flowers of your home. They are men who should be sent to the state penitentiary, and the quicker the better. They are men who are standing on some corner waiting to see some poor washwoman returning home from a hard day's toll over some white person's wash-tub, to snatch her hard day's earnings. Men—you married men! Are you going to be blind all of your days? Watch your home and your little ones. Chicago is getting to be one of the most dangerous cities in the United States. Go home from your work and read the news to your family with them of nights, and when they go out you accompany them—and warn your sons and daughters of these house rent rags. MR. NOAH D. THOMPSON IN CITY. Mr. Thompson, historian of Tuskegee, arrived in the city on Wednesday evening and headed at once to the Tuskegee Alumni Association meeting which was held at 3331 Vernon Ave. He spoke encouragingly of the work he school and how he enjoyed his work. He is looking well and is the ne Noah. The Alumni will meet day of celebration at the home of The Chicago Defender. Misses Madrue Parnell and Lavinia Jordan were the sweetest dressed bellies at the association. Messrs Lett and Harris proprietors of the "20th Century" Buffet and Cafe, 31st and State street, held their grand opening of their cafe department on last Tuesday night to an appreciative public with all the pomp and ceremony that goes to make these openings a success. This cafe designed as a "Dutch room" surpasses anything yet seen in this line on State Street. You cannot imagine the many benches in the room. In this room and one needs to personally to go and see Mr. George Thompson well and favorably known in the culinary art is head chef." Mrs. J. L. Parks and daughter left for Detroit, Michigan to spend thanksgiving with parents and friends. They will be gone for several weeks. THANKS GIVEN DINNER FOR COL ORED NEWS BOYS. At the Institutional Church, Thanksgiving eve., the little Colored newsboys of Chicago had the one good time of their lives, eating and feasting on turkey and cranberries, oysters, mince and pumpkin pie, ice cream, cake and coffee. This was the first time in the history of Chicago that these boys have had such a time since the death of Mr. Wolf, the newsboys friend. There were present nearly one hundred boys from different parts of the city. The table was set in the chapel and nicely decorated for the occasion. This being the first entertainment for the news boys and being such a grand success the committee consisting of W. G. Anderson, Alfred Cunningham, J. H. Porter, Thomas Allen and J. H. Moody purpose making it an annual affair and by next Thanksgiving, have such an interest awakened in the pupil that every newsboy and boot black in Chicago can enjoy these feasts. Addresses were delivered by W. G. Anderson, Rev. A. J. Carey and others. At the close of the feast the boys arose and sang "God he With Us Till We Meet Again," and filleted out of the chapel in order, saying that this occasion was one of the best in their lives. The Defender was quite sorry to note the fact that there were none of the little white newshoys in evidence at this dinner, we should remember that before members of the race became so generous Colored boys were seen at Thanksgiving dinners that they were boys in general; let us not make this mistake next year, and remember those who remembered us. UNDERTAKER DANIEL JACK- SON. Writes to the Chicago Daily News On the Attitude of Trades Union Towards His People. We copy the following from the Daily News to show to the Negroes what a power they would be if they would only use their strength; their voting strength if you please would be a power, if the Unions do not see fit to let your sons and daughters learn trades anyway and the capitalist will use them at anything the Unions see fit to kick up, but we are glad to note elsewhere that Mr. Samuel Gompers has denied the statement and is ready to shake the Negroes hand for his success: Negroes and Unions. "Samuel Gompers, at the American Federation of Labor banquet, Thursday night, in St. Louis, Mo., advised the exclusion of Negroes from labor unions. I would like to know how labor unions ever expect to attain what they strive for if 10,000,000 men in this country are refused trade-union benefits. Have these millions different stomachs from other Americans? Must they cease to eat? And how illogical his argument if Gompers and the trades unions refuse Negroes admission! What a club in the capitalist hands would Negroes be to heat organized labor with! Surely he should study more deeply before he makes another public speech. If he would visit some of the Theodore Parker memorial exercises and see Jane Addams, Celia Parker Woolley, the Rev. Mr. Beals, Rabbi Hirsch, Jenkin Lloyd Jones, Isaac Fisher of Pine Bluff, Ark., and many other notables, both white and Colored, all working for better conditions, if he would visit a progressive socialist conference and find the leaders all preaching human quality great Ameringer. Gaylord and other and the brotherhood of man, surely Mr. Gompers would have to pinch himself to see if he was really awake." Chicago. DANIEL JACKSON. GIVE TRACT TO NEGRO SANITARIUM. Former Slave and Wife Plan Consumptives' Refuge in Colorado. Special to the Chicago Defender. Colorado Springs, Col., Nov. 25.—James K. Polk Taylor, a former slave, 71 years old, and his wife, it was announced today, have given 480 acres of land at Calan, forty miles east of Colorado Springs, to the Charles Summer Tuberculosis association as a site for a national tuberculosis sanitarium for Colored people. It is understood $300,000 will be spent on the sanitarium. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1910 BOOKER T. WASHINGTON AT ORGHESTRA HALL Sunday Evening, Dec. 4th, the Doc- tor Will Make His First Appearance in Chicago Since His Trip Through Europe. WILL SPEAK TWENTY TIMES. Rev. Fisher Stole a March on the Other Churches and Secured the Doctor—Olivet Will Have a Taxi in Walting to Bring to Him to Her Congregation. By N. D. T. Booker T. Washington, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, will speak in Chicago Sunday evening, December 4th, at Orchestra Hall, under the auspices of the Sunday Evening Club, and on Monday afternoon at the University of Chicago. Monday at noon the Scooby Club, composed of twenty-six Congregational ministers, will entertain him at lunchon. This will be Dr. Washington's first visit to our city since his trip through portions of Europe, where he studied the conditions of the lowly of foreign lands, while royalty sought to do him honor as a leading American citizen and benefactor. It is quite likely that during Mr. Washington's two days' stay here a great number of Colored people will be given an opportunity to hear him. The Tuskegee Graduate Club of this city has a promise from him to speak for them before he leaves the city. Dr. E. J. Fisher of Olivet Baptist Church has also arranged for the noted educator to speak to his congregation after he leaves Orchestra Hall, which will be about 9 p. m. Sunday evening. Arrangements are being made for Dr. Washington to deliver short addresses at several of our churches while here, so as many Colored people as possible may have an opportunity to receive the moral and spiritual benefit which only Dr. Washington can give. In our next issue Dr. Washington's complete programs for Chicago will probably be published. No admission charge will be made at any of the public meetings. Evanson and Milwaukee will also most likely he favored with a visit by the distinguished educator before he returns to his work in the South. I AM THE NEGROES FRIEND— GOMPERS. Special to the Chicago Defender "In reviewing the organized labor movement abroad and in the United States I called attention to the condition confronting the working people of our time. Incidentally and among several things to which I referred I called attention to the fact that we had with us a population of 8,000,000 Negroes and that they are but a little more than half a century from a condition of slavery, and as a consequence it could not be expected that, as a rule, they would have the same conception of their rights and duties as other men of labor have in them." "Instead of 'reading the Negro out of the labor movement' my contention and the contention of the American Federation of Labor is to try to bring them into the organized labor movement of our country. We are trying our level best, and will continue to do so, to organize the men and women of toil without regard to their religion, their politics, their nationality, their sex or their race." M'INTOSH IS AFTER JOHNSON. Australian Promoter Wants Champion to Fight Langford Special to the Chicago Defender Boston. Nov. 25—Joe Woodman, manager of Sam Langford, is in receipt of a letter from Hugh McIntosh, the Australian boxing promoter, in which McIntosh offers to give Jack Johnson $15,000 and expenses for his end of a fight with Langford, to take place in London during coronation week. In the letter, McIntosh asks Woodman to make every possible effort to close the match with Johnson. In making the match McIntosh requires that Johnson shall post $15,000 to guarantee his appearance in London. YOUNG COLORED MEN IN A T H L E T I C S IN HIGH SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES. By Julius N. Avendorph. There is no doubt but that the season of 1910 proved to be the greatest year in the history of football for surprises as to general results. The results of Saturday's games both in the east and west, only goes to prove to the most versatile coach that the result of a change cannot be foreshowed until a real test is made, and one year is not sufficient to fully test such radical changes as was made in football last season. The majority of the coaches last season after the changes were made immediately began to build up a fast lightweight team which proved a failure, that is if this season's Chicago team and a few others can be used as an example. The line men, must necessarily be heavy; just as heavy as in football and strong defense as well as fast in offensive work. Michigan and Minnesota proved beyond all doubt that heavy men give the best protection in the formation plays, yet the team with a strong majority kicker, will win the majority of games. Mr. Eckersall, in making up two conference teams in last Sunday Tribune, showed him that he allowed his sympathy for some players to get the better of his football judgment to the extent of being unfair in his selection, yet he was sufficiently conscientious stricken to give Hale Parker, honorable mention. Why Parker, Young and Alexander, can and have all season played rings so speak around either man Eckersall picked on either of his teams in their respective positions. Now as I have said on other occasions, I do not contend for any thing for these young men because they are Colored, from the fact that they have to be the equal of any player in the west in their respective positions. I say without hesitation or fear of criticism, that I am one of the best posted men in the west on athletics generally, therefore, I am justified in criticizing Eckersall, for ignoring these Colored men completely. Of course, his selections do not count for much, yet he is an authority and that means much to the public.

B. was introduced by Manie Toles, he finishes the discussion saying that all mothers should give more care to their boys so they will make better men and all women should study at home and care for the children and the hand that rocked the cradle is the hand that rules the world (loud applause). Mr. Roberts talk was appreciated by all. A letter was read from Mr. Payton Memorial of his deceased wife one year ago in November 11th. Mrs. Holt was introduced and have approval of our work.

Over 200 people went over to the 7th Regiment Armory in search of the Foresters' Ball and strange to say that not one knew that it was at the 1st Regiment at 16th and Michigan. Frequently the cars would stop at the 7th door only to find the wrong ball. A party of northsiders were disappointed and lots of southsiders. Several asked, was the ball advertised in the local papers and the negative answer was given. Thereupon one of the party asked if those fellows had a better scinch than such stores as Marshall Fields, the Fair and Seigel Coopers on public. To the readers of the Chicago Defender who live in the 6th ward, you will find the Chicago Defender on the news stand at 756 East 40th street, at Mr. B. E. Handlin's cigar and notion store, the only one in the 6th ward handling this paper. THE TUSKEGEE NEGRO CONFERENCE. The Largest to be Held Yet, with Great Industrial Display to be Held January 18, 19, 1911. JAPAN TO HAVE REPRESENTA TIVE. Ministers and Business Men to Have Big Share in Making Business of Farming Successful. Special to the Chicago Defender- Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, November 25, 1910—The twentieth annual session of the Tuskegee Negro Conference will convene at Tuskegee Institute on Wednesday and Thursday, January 18 and 19, 1911. On Wednesday, the first day, the Tuskegee Negro Conference will be held. Among the topics to be discussed are: Making Farming Pay; Successful Truck Farming, Fruit Raising; Live Stock and Poultry Raising, Cotton Raising; How to Successfully Manage a Large Plantation; How to Make a Living on a Small Farm. A number of prominent white planters are expected to be present and the question of making tenant farming more profitable to the landlord and to the tenant will be discussed somewhat at length. On Thursday, the annual Workers' Conference will be held. On this occasion an unusually large number of persons directly engaged in Negro education from the schools of the South especially, or interested in the uplift of the Negro are expected to be present. Among the subjects that will be taken up at the Workers' Conference is the following: How Can Ministers, Teachers and Business Men Assist the Farmers to Make Agriculture More Profitable, particularly by assisting in teaching farmers more efficient methods of farming and also to develop the business side of farming. The indications are that the coming annual Tuskegee Negro Conference will be the largest and most successful of all the Conferences held at Tuskegee Institute. MR. GARFIELD WILSON ENTER- TAINS DEFENDER EDITOR. Prof. Garfield Wilson of the Douglas Dancing Academy on Monday evening gave the editor of the Defender a real surprise on the night of the editor's birthday. Mr. Wilson called up the office on Monday and said, "I heard that you are to have a birthday?" the editor said. Well, just this one, after this he would discard them: well! I have arranged to have you at dinner at the Pekin inn, and he did, it was some dinner. After dinner Mr. Wilson took the editor to a special arranged musicale where they enjoyed themselves to a late hour. RUBE FOSTER HONORED. Last Saturday night the Reception, Ball and Banquet to Rube Foster and the Leland Giants was put over a schedule time and everyone seemed to enjoy not only the mem but the speeches which were splendid economies and praise for the greatest ball Team on earth, the Leland Giants. From the moment Secretary and Treasurer Moseley introduced in that happy forceful Moseley way Mr. Wm. C. Niesen, of the Gunthers until the last word by Jimis Smith, interest and enthusiasm were at its height and baseball as played by the Leland Giants was the theme. Each speaker in his own happy way told of the success of the Giants, Figg, the management of the great Rube Among those to make interesting talks were M. J. Fitzpatrick, (the Ump) Prof Wm. Emmanuel Julius F. Taylor, Editor Broad Axe, Geo. Figg, the baseball enthusiast, Col. J. J. Johnson of the Eighth Regiment. S. B. Turner, Editor and Publisher Illinois Idea, W. C. Peterson, of Boston, I. Cary B. Lewis, the writer and Freeman representative and Andrew Rube Foster. The boys were all all three lost Lloyd, Johnson, Hill and Petway, who are still in Cuba playing in the Antum Baseball League on the Havana Team. Next year the Lelands will be as strong as strong as ever as the Fresno sighed Bullet Johnson say and other new men for utility work. All this was gleaned from the speech of the Rube himself, while Secretary Moseley smiled so it must be the goods. After 1 a. m, all departed feeling fine and determined to be at 6th and Green streets early in May when the Umpire orders play Ball.

We hope for Dr. Browne much success in his chosen profession. THE GRAND JUVENILE CANTATA LITTLE GYPSY. The Little Gypsy which was played at the Pekin on Friday was not a success financially judging from the attendance at houses there were hardly 50 people present with tickets were sold on the outside, the world was a total lost. The children did their part well, it seems too bad that these ones were not better encouraged by the grown ups. APPOMATTOX COMING ELECTION OF OFFICERS.

BOXING LID TO BE LIFTED HERE. Results of Spring Election Expected to Change Fight Affairs In Breezy Town. As Result of McGovern-Gans Fake, Boxing Stopped at Legitimate Promoters' Request. There is a quick tip out in Chicago sporting circles that after next spring's election the boxing game will be opened up in this city. Ever since the Gans-McGovern fake of a few years ago, the lld has been on Fight, but if the powers that be, manage to land the right candidate, limited round bouts will again fall to the lot of the fans who enjoy the sport so much, and who are now forced to go to Milwaukee when every they want to enjoy their favorite past time. City Officials Fair. Of course the promoters have no one but themselves to blame in Chicago for the closing of the boxing games, the authorities were fair with them, and meant to do the proper thing, but when they brazenly pulled off that, raw fake it was then the better class of sports petitioned Mayor Harrison to close the game. He did as requested, and it has been closed ever since. * Chances Favorable. Chances Favorable. This is the first time it has looked as if the game was to be allowed to open up again, of course it all depends on the election of the Move next spring. According to the local fight fans, they will not mention whom they favored for fear that it might hurt his chances, but will anance it as soon as their man gets the nomination. HON. W. W. TALLEY A.

The evolutions gone through by Mr. Garfield Wilson in the grand march puts him in a class all by himself. Mr. Wilson has demonstrated at the Foresters ball that Chicago has never had a real dancing master until his arrival. The Masonic Cross made the mark on the heart will long be praised by Chicago public. Long may Garfield keep his well earned lead. CANNON—GAME COCK! While the Democratic tidal wave was playing hob with Republican hopes and land marks, an entertaining newspaper man interviewed Uncle Joe Cannon. "I am elected by 6,000," said the aged speaker. "I am a Republican, I have kept the faith, I have endorsed and I have not apologized for the legislation of this congress," the county can, now that it has been settled the issue of cannism, confirm the claim of the old man without reluctance, Henry Waterson called him, admiringly, a "stumach old reprobate," that is true; there was nothing mealy-mouthed, whining or undesirable about his stand, not a drop of apology tinged his attitude. His speeches probably helped swell Democratic gains where ever he campaigned, and the things for which he stood unquestionably were largely for Democratic victory the county over, but from first, to last he never whimpered, ducked, compelled or evaded. He "stood pat" in the last ditch, that is more than you can say for nineteen twentieths of his worthy associates and beneficiaries who scuttled away from him the moment public disapproval manifested itself and were ready to bite the hand that bestowed favors upon them. The nation will not tolerate cannism or its significance, nor will it with hold its admiration for the game old cock himself.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC BY SELVESTER RUSSELL. Foremost Dramatic Critic. CHORAL STUDY CLUB CONCERT GEO. 1. HOLT A CULTURED TENOR. The feast of the Choral Study Club was spread once more in a musical festival at Institutional church last Monday evening, Nov. 1st before an appreciative audience that was socially a vernal meadow of delight. The program consisted of a song recital by George I. Holt, a tenor singer of Des Mohes, Iowa, which preceded the concerted program in which the chorus participated. Mr. Holt's program consisted of ten numbers, divided into three sections. Six of the songs had been rendered before the Defender musical staff's arrival. Being familiar with the numbers seen on the program. I was hesitated impressed by the sameness of the selections, but in spite of their similarity of lesate style, they were well chosen for the purpose of introducing the star. Of the four numbers I heard, the two last ones, "A Dream of Peace" by "Pinsyte" and "Down the Vale" by Boir both enabled Mr. Holt to be heard to a judging advantage. The most remarkable thing about Mr. Holt is his perfect method of vocal culture. He is not a robust, but just a brilliant light concert tenor with a true sweet voice of excellent timbre. His opened skills are re-enforced. His opened skill and unexpected power, due to training, and this fixture of his art is what places him in the highest element. In his medium register there The Denfender cannot afford to give free notices to any kind of meetings where collections are taken or entrance fees are charged, therefore we serve notice on all those who do insist outscoring same not to expect to see them if money does not accompany the copy.

Mr. Peterson and Granbury, two young men of Buxton, Ia., were the guests of Secretary Moseley at the Rink Saturday and Sunday night last and expressed themselves as highly pleased with the Chateau. The public should remember that the Chateau Rink is the only institution of its kind in the city, owned, controlled and operated by our people and deserve your patronage in preference to the concerns run by other men to exploit and leave us as is the case with most of the Amusement places on State street.

Miss Jennle Stokes, Miss Josephine Davis, Miss Cleo Van Camp and Miss Bessie Johnson are leading in this big race for these valuable prizes. were slight moments of crude concern which measured arms with falsetto in the phrasing of diminuendo. The Bridal chorus from Wagner's "Lohengren" brought the chorus to its feet, by the way of introduction, which was well sung in every particular except that it lacked a speed-spirit of animation which arouses everybody to the significance of the occasion, but slavery, unfortunately, has implanted the slothfulness of song into the very being of a Negroe's musical nature. The female soloist for the concerted numbers was Mrs. Marie P. Merrill. The quintette from Marra distinguished Mr. Holt alone. An air and chorus from Konser Staat Mater-brightened Mrs. Holt into evidence. While her voice in power was strong enough she was in no way equal to the occasion and just why she was selected for such an exchanging program is a conundrum. Here Madam Anderson was missed and it was possible that Madam Fairfax could have been secured. The Sextette from Luca was rashly handled, but enclosed on its musical popularity. I cannot begin to describe where art was lost save in the person of Mr. Holt who tried to bring honor to the commendable work of fire painstaking amateurs. The high notes of Mrs. Merrill, uncultivated and forcibly harsh in alicina greatly overbalanced artistic temperament except in a few lighter sweetness and harmony. The chorus and a solo by S. Coleridge Taylor from Hiawatha were actually well sung and the closing chorus from "Tannhauser" was quite capably handled. Gertrude Jackson again demonstrated that she has no superiors among female accompanists of her race, Mr. Pedro L. Tinsley was once again at his best as conductor and the whole affair was a success. Lizzie Hart at the Monogram. Another splendid bill was seen again at the Monogram this week. Miss Lizzie Hart a fair haired octopus made her stellar how as a vaudeville monetette and made a big hit if you please inland and a fine one well as sing and her voice is a dramatic soprano of great purity and sweetness. She wore plain white and a big picture hat trimmed of pink with pink stockings and golden slippers to match and brilliant stones enough to offset the impression of diamonds. Wilson & Cunny were the bright particular mirth producers and the final part of their act is certainly something to reckon with for original and interesting work. The Montgomery trio were a new team of welcome visitors. The little comedian is very clever indeed and the straight is classy and the soubret who sings entirely out of tune is otherwise a sweet little body and the three were nicely dressed. But why should such talented actors ring in soap bubbles of King and Bailey and brick dust of Miller and Lyles that is copyrighted. Bowman and St. Clair were also on the bill and gave a clean short dialogue. Mr Bowman has a fine loud voice. Most of the bill a the Grand including the Ransom Hayden & Vaughn & Lillian Brown hold over. The Dancing Dups, clever dancers, are also on the bill. Bert Murphy of Murphy & Francis informs us that the team has been released from the "big time" to play a special engagement at the Grand theatre next week. Richard D. Barrett of Barrett Theoristium of 2611 Pine street, St. Louis, Mo. is in the city on business. He made a social call at William Fosters music company opposite the Monogram theatre. The Ern Comedy Four which just returned from Australia is at the Trevett theatre 63rd and Cottage Grove avenue this week. More will be said of these great singers in another issue. Madam Cordella McClain of London, England and Indianapolis, Ind. is visiting in the city. She is the guest of Miss Oma Crosby. It is intimated that Madam Cordella has been besieged by offers from vaudeville managers. Young Prof. Mikell of Jacksonville, JESSE BINGA BANKER So. East Cor. State & 36 Place CHICAGO, ILL.

Now a certain Southern manager has sent him an offer as leader of orchestra in a large theatre which he will probably accept. Kelly & Davis' fat was recently burnt out by fire and all their furniture and clothes were destroyed, but their stage wardrobes were saved. Mr. Davis lost a roll of $800 which went up in smoke. Miller & Lyles who have just filled a week at New Haven, Conn., open at Hartford next week on the United time, all big houses. Their act has scored heavily everywhere and their families are on a pleasure visit as excess baggage, including the Lyles kid. Cooper & Robinson, once more linked together follow them at New Haven.

THE PEKIN THEATRE. With New Stock Company Attracting Large Crowds of Old and New Patrons It Is Different from Anything You Have Ever Seen. 100 LAUGHS IN 100 MINUTES. A Night in New York's China Town, Presented to You by the Race's Greatest Playwriter, Mr. J. A. Shipp, Who is Reputed to be the Only Writer in America. During the days of Williams and Walker the entire city was on ends to see each of their productions from the pen of Mr. Shipp; both pulpit and press the same welcome to these masters when notice of their coming was read from bill board and daily papers. No one, however, gave it a thought that the renown Jessie A. Shipp, now of the Pekin Theatre was the man that made these comedians the fame they possessed. It will only take, but a minute to notice the above play and refer back to the old comedians, when you will discover that something in the setting which is catchy and entaining. For a play of short duration as the above there is nothing on the stage to-day that can be compared to it China town has only two acts, but in them a lesson is brought out which is beneficial to all walks in life. Bony Fose's Cafe' is a typical scene of New York Bowery life, and for those who have visited this section at any time will see immediately the entire scatch is true to life. After viewing the show on Thursday night our special reporter interviewed Mr. Samuel Corker, manager of the theatre, on the duration of the play and in the same time told him that he did not see why Chinatown could not run indefinitely. Mr. Corker said; "Well! it like this, if the play continues to make the hit with the people it has made during the last four nights, we see no reason to change it to something else; up to to-night we have sold 12,000 admission; do you think it wise to run from that; and look out there; pointing to the lobby, there are over 500 people waiting for the last show, you may tell your readers and the public that the management appreciates their interests and that this play will run until they show by their presence to the contrary. The Defender feels that every family in the city should attend this house at least once a week to show to Mr. Motts that they appreciate his efforts, in giving to America the first Colored playhouse, and allows house gave to the world some of the best Colored talent that is seen today on the stage. The majority of vaudeville actors in the big circuits owe their beginning to this theatre and we see no reason why the citizens of Chicago should not make the Pekin a thing sacred to their fireside. The great hit is the vocal trio of Eikins, Gibbs & Amos and the human working bird Mr. Will Hart. The following is the dad's musical rumble of the play: ano Player, Sidney Perrin; tainer, Esmardela Statham; thrush, Fanny Wise; Walter Lloyd Glibs, Walter No. 23, mos; A Sleeper, Jerry Mills; Ird Rube, Himself; An Old Eikins; Boney Pore, Cafe); Chas.

For Cleaning and Purifying the Skin There Is Nothing Like It Under the Sun. Its great affinity for all soaps and its power for taking up and neutralizing the harmful elements that exist in all soaps are unsurpassed by anything known to the chemical world. The alkali is taken up by some of the properties of the cream, forming a new compound called cream sopoleate. This newly formed compound electrifies and purifies the skin; removing every trace of grease, paint, varnish, or any foreign elements, leaving the skin in perfect condition, pure and white. This makes possible the arterial circulation which brings the desired nutrition to the very outer layer of the skin. Rejuvenating the cellular elements and thereby bringing back the youthful appearance. Full directions on every bottle. Ask your druggist for THE ELITE FACE CREAM and take no other. Manufactured by E.

A GOOD LESSON To All Who Read This Column of a Sincere Man. Lexington, Mo., Nov. 25.—Madame Patti Brown, the well-known soprano singer of Chicago, Ill., will be in Lexington Thursday night, Dec. 1st. She is said to be one of the very best singers in the East, and a large crowd is expected to greet her at the Zion A. M. E. Church Thursday night, December 1st. Admission 15c. People from Mayview, Odessa, Mo., and other places, are welcome to come and hear Madame Patti Brown. Don't forget the date. Watch for the bills. Come one and all and enjoy yourself one and all. All persons who have not paid their bills must do so before Wednesday, Nov. 30th. If not, papers will be discontinued without notice, so please call at 911 Main street and pay your monthly bills. A prize will be given to every person paying me $1.50 for one year's subscription to the Chicago Defender cash in advance. No credit given. See B. J. H. Arnold, collector. Emmerson Johnson, of Mayview, Mo, was in Lexington last Sunday and reports having a fine time. Henry Jackson, brother of Ossie Jackson, died Monday, Nov. 21, 1910. His many friends were very sorry to hear of his death. He was one of our best young men and was beloved by all. No arrangements have been made for the funeral at present. If some of our young men keep on acting the fool like they have been for the past week we will have to send them to the crazy house. Whenever a pretty girl comes to town some of our young men get crazy about them. A certain young man acted like something crazy Sunday night. Nov. 20th, just because there were two pretty girls in town. It's all right to make love or get acquainted with a stranger from abroad, but one of our young men wont and got his eye blacked about a certain girl Sunday night. No better for him to get what he needed as he was half drunk. Oh, you kids of Lexington! This is your last chance to subscribe for the Defender. Every Negro in Lexington should read the Oklahoma American and Chicago Defender, as they are two of the very best papers published by our race. The reason our people don't know anything is they don't read their own race journals enough to see what their own race are doing. Let every Negro subscribe for the Defender and help boost the race. Defender, $1.50 a year, also a nice prize given free. See John H. Arnold at Bolridge's or Conway's barber shop, 910-911 Main street. P. O. box 247, Lexington, Mo.
