RAILROAD MEN FOR ADVANCE Morrissey Presents Plea of 250,000 on Rate Increase to Commerce Body. Appeal of Workers Sail to Be With out Coercion—Brandeis' Economy Plan Attacked. Special to the Chicago Defender. Washington, D. C., Jan. 18.—Speaking on behalf of 250,000 employees engaged in railroad work, P. H. Morrissey, of Chicago, president of the American Railroad Employees and Investors' Association, today presented a formal statement to the Inter-State Commerce Commission in support of the proposed advance in freight rates by the railroads. Mr. Morrissey is chairman of a committee representing the employer, consisting of George Brophy, conductor; R. E. Killpatrick, conductor; H. F. Smith, baggageman, and R. D. Bullock, locomotive engineer. T. J. Dolan, of Chicago, general secretary treasurer of the International Brotherhood of Steam Shovel Men, joined in the statement. Scores of petitions from various branches of organized railroad labor were submitted to the Commission, advocating an increase in freight rates. 22.4.11 Sayes No Coercion Was Used. Mr. Morrissey said: "These petitions and other expressions were obtained without connivance or coercion; in other words he means without force; they include both union and non-union. This also brings in the Colored train porters. When Mr. Morrissey includes the non-union men. They represent the free expression of the employees. In no other industry in our country is labor so largely employed as on the railway and in no other does so large a proportion of its gross earnings go to labor. In 1949, 1949, 1958 from the railroads in 1909, about 41 per cent of their gross earnings. It is estimated that it will get at least $80,000,000 more when the increases for 1910 are added. This also means a great deal to the Colored freight brakemen and the firemen and train porters, but it does not include the Pullman porters. These active operating employees get, in a comparative labor sense, good pay. The wage standards of these classes have been increased to the last decade, 40 per cent in the last decade, more than a little, if anything, more than kept pace with the increased cost of living. Employees are vitally interested in the earnings of the roads. It is the concern of every man to know that the institution which employs him is kept in condition to meet every obligation to him. This may be styled selfish reasoning, but it is intensely human and practical. Aims at Brander's Ideas. Referring to the arguments by Louis D. Brander in support of the introduction of methods of scientific management of railway properties, through which, Mr. Brander's believes, a million Tars a day could be practical railroad man, and he did not believe that. American workmen had laziness and lack of discipline, he believed he believed such a system would impose upon them, "they decline," he declared, "to bear the additional burdens that such a system would impose if there should be a saving of a million dollars a day by the more economical operation of the railways for the benefit of the piper it would come largely from labor. The suggestion contemplates the reduction of the operating cost of men. The explanation of such a system would mean the country into industrial warfare, the result of which could not be foretold." Further Suspension Further suspension of the coming advances in freight rates by the Western Trunk Line Association will be made today or tomorrow. The Interstate of Commerce Commission has suggested that the rates be suspended from Feb. 1 until March 15. There is no doubt this suggestion will be met by the Western carriers, as it was by the Eastern carriers, to give the Commission adequate time for consideration of the case. DO WE AS A RACE PROGRESS WITH THE TIMES? By Julius Avendorph Living in a progressive age, a progressive city and among a progressive people, I claim, as a race, we do not progress according to the age, for instance, every year there are at least ten exhibitions or shows held at the Coliseum for the purpose of demonstrating what great progress is being made in the use of electricity, the improved machinery and cement of various kinds, and also the productive nature of irrigated lands; and at each of these wonderful exhibitions, the Colored people in attendance can easily be counted on two hands. The number is usually so small, that one can not help but ask himself the question, is it possible that our people are not interested in anything of a progressive nature? I have attended a majority of the shows for the last two years and on each occasion I have found several members of the race in positions that were gratifying. At the cement show last season, I saw a Negro explaining so several hundred white people the virtue of the various kinds of ce- --- The Chicago Defender. ment. These are the things we miss when we fail to take advantage of the shows. It is an education that can only be realized by personal observation. One of the features of the electrical show was the demonstration given of the Dundley pneumatic sweepers, by Messrs. Joseph Shreeves and Samuel Nasse. Colored employees of the show, the leather booth, through the artistic manner in which these young men exhibited the machines, was one of the most attractive booths at the show. It would also have done your soul good to have seen Miss Mattie Johnson, in one of the most conspicuous booths in the place, giving her demonstration of different jellies. Miss Johnson is in a class by herself in that line, and with her amable disposition she proves to be all that goes with the musical program that is worth the price of admission, to say nothing of the wonderful display of decorations. These shows are in themselves an education, and if we fall to attend some of them, we cannot realize how fast the progressive age is moving on. SYLVESTER RUSSELL NOW AN HONORARY MEMBER OF THE C. V. B. A.—VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS. MR. RUSSELL'S REPLY. To the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association, New York City. It was indeed a great surprise to me when a letter arrived on the 19th first. Informing me that I was made an honorary member of the C. V. B. A. at the last meeting. That which gives me unspeakable pleasure is the fact that I was received with but one acclaim and with no dissenting features. I not only regard the entire movement as one of great honor bestowed upon me, but the value of the outcome to me and to the Association, not only means much to the Negro performers of America and the advancement of the Negro race, but means to the White Rats and Managers of Colored Theatres, that in the C. V. B. A. a great power of intellect is being moulded—not to oppose, but to contend for the square deal and to uphold all managers whose true American spirit of justice has prevailed in giving every actor an equal chance to be involved in the performance of equal chance spirit, which B. F. Keith, the vaudeville "Summer" of his State, originally established, and which the United Booking Association designs to maintain, hampered by its unnecessary weakness in the West, is the will of the people, in which their natural thirst for a variety of actors predates. In socializing of the power of actor societies, I do not regard the affiliation of professional actors with either value or strength in hostilities between actors and laborers. I would even challenge Gompers for a debate on the outcome of any curious actor strike of the kind and the demoralization effect it would have with both actors and laborers as an affiliated body. Not to dwell at this time upon problems, but to help solve them in the future is now the pledge my required to make to save along with other new ideas which I will impose and advise a little later on to help immediately in the upbuilding of this highly creditable organization. And I would that I were present to remind you all of how my private ideas have been stolen and exposed to the public by the sudden birth of an infant "Bulletin." It is my former career as a professional singer, in being formerly associated with many of the present-day actors of early capture, that my heart beats with pride in being eligible to this organization—which has seen its capture and honor an ex-actor's role, to pose as an eye-witness to the nursery department of the C. V. B. A. Bulletin. Now, gentlemen, I thank you for this honor, and I accord you a tiny reception: Please accept my check for five, to add to the rally fund. and to the Fraternally. Your Brother, Sylvester Russell, Chicago, Ill., Jan. 22, 1911. MRS. AMANDA SMITH AT DOUGLAS CENTER, HER 6TH BIRTHDAY. Mrs. Amanda Smith celebrated her 74th birthday anniversary with a most pleasing reception at the Doug's Center Monday evening, the Amanda Smith Guilds Nos. 1 and 2 in charge. Mrs. George Foreman, chairman of the General committee, proved an efficient hostess. She was assisted by Mrs. Jackson, President of Guild No. 1. A previous invitation had been sent to Mr. J. E. Mooreland, International Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., to spend a pleasant evening at the Center, and fortunately he could accept the night of the celebration. At 8 o'clock the guests began to arrive to wish Amanda Smith many returns of the day and to meet Mr. and Mrs. Mooreland before they left the city. Mrs. Merriweather, chairman of the program committee, introduced Mrs. Smith, who spoke briefly of her life, her early years, several trips abroad, and her gratitude to the good women who compose the Guilds, since they are able to relieve her of many burdens, the coal bills especially mentioned. She appreciates their loyalty to such a worthy cause as hers, the Amanda Smith Orphanage. It has with delight she mentioned its large donation received during the year as Miss Hallie Q. Biddle in England, whom she will saw for her while attending the Scotland meetings. This donation of $6,500 will help Mrs. Smith through the winter. After a musical number, Mrs. Merriweather read a beautiful tribute to Mrs. Smith, written by Mrs. Kathar INE D. Tillman of Pasadena, Cal. and formerly of Chicago. In well chosen words Mrs. Tillman made mention of the useful life of Mrs. Smith, how she called the attention of the Nobility when abroad, the many years she worked as an evangelist and now in advanced life she is doing the responsible work of shaping the lives of future generation. It made as it take a silent resolution to do more for the Orphanage in the future. This tribute of Mrs. Tillman's came as a benediction to us who knew her best. Mrs. Woolley presented Mr. Mooreland, whose address plainly revealed his satisfaction in the work accomplished during his stay in the city. He commended the citizens who made it possible for the establishing of Mother Branch of the M.C. on the South Side and the M.C. awakened religious interest the leading people are taking, many of them identifying themselves with the churches. He expressed his interest in the Center and the principles for which it stands. A number of kind friends rendered musical selections. Since a silver shower was received at the door the refreshments were served free. Among the distinguished visitors present were Dr. Many Waring, Mr. Adelbert Roberts and Rev. Father Massiah.

Anita Patti Brenn delighted a fine audience at Meharry Auditorium last evening. She came under the auspices of the Music Department of Walden University. Her rendition of "Summer," from Chamblade, "Titania," by Thomas, Tosti's Serenade and other choice numbers showed a voice of rare purity, range and power, while her technique was well night perfect. The old "Sewanee River," sung by request, and of which people never tire, was a masterpiece of expression and beauty. The "Royal Overture," by the Walden Orchestra, "Coppelia," a piano duet, a very difficult composition, by the Miss Mabel E. Scott and the Misses Mabel E. Scott, "Good Bye," by the Young Men's Glee Club, were all splendidly rendered, showing the high class work being done by the Music Department of Walden University, under the control of Miss Mamie Braden, dean of the department—The Nashville Banner (white).

NEGROES FLEEING SOUTHERN PLANTATIONS FOR WEST. Savannah, Ga., Jan. 27, 1911—Owing to the posting of anonymous placards, threatening them with unforeseen dangers, and lynchings, the Negroes of Turner County have left by the hundreds, and are still leaving. This condition of affairs will have serious results at this time of the year for the planters who employ Negroes to work their lands. No offers of any kind can induce these law-abiding and peaceful citizens to cease their migration. Application: from Pensacola, Fl., for membership in the Negro National Baseball League was received this week by President Moseley. BISHOP GRANT AND WIFE DEAD BISHOP GRANT AND WIFE DEAD The Entire Race Thrown Into Mourning By the Death of Bishop Abram Grant, D. D., and Wife. THE A. M. E. CONNECTION LOSES ONE OF ITS ABLEST BISHOPS. The End Came to Mrs. Lulu B. Grant Saturday Night, Jan. 14—Death of Bishop Follows a Week Later, Sunday Morning, Fifteen Minutes After Ten. Special Correspondence by E. Edward Vauzan. Kansas City, Kansas, Jan. 27, 1911—Friends, both white and Colored, throughout the entire country were surprised beyond measure to learn of the sudden death of Mrs. Grant, wife of Bishop Abram Grant, of the Fifth Episcopal District. Death was caused by an apoplectic stroke, and came just after the departed had taken the Lord's Supper with her beloved husband, who was himself, lying dangerously ill at the time. The end came at 8:15 p. m., at the Episcopal residence, 532 Washington boulevard. Funesal services were immediately arranged, and were held Tuesday, Jan. 17th, in the First A. M. E. Church, Eighth and Nebraska avenues, this city, to which church Mrs. Grant belonged. There services were conducted by Rt. Rev. H. Blanton Parks, Bishop of the Thirteenth A. M. E. District, who was assisted by Rt. Rev. Benj. F. Lee, Bishop of the Seventh Episcopal District, who delivered the funeral address. The choir opened the services by singing "Asleep in Jesus." Appropriate passages of service were then read by both Bishop arts and the Rev. Dr. E. Arlington Wilson, pastor of the Metropolitan Church, this city, Miss E. E. Grant, of the Music Department of Western University, sang "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," She sang the hymn so sweet, and softly that the entire audience sat in suspense and in reverence before the bier of the deceased. One was reminded that one had not to weep and mourn over departed soul, but to pay last tribute to one who had during a wife life time strived to do what she Master desired of her. Resolutions offered by the Ministerial Alliance, the Inter-deminational Alliance, the pastor chief members of the University (whose students attended in a body), the general officers and by the Bishops' Council. Many telegrams of condolence were received and a long list of these were read. Bishop Lee took his text from 1 Cor. iv:16-18. His address was a funeral ordination, and doubless one of the greatest sermons those present at the funeral ever heard delivered, so rich and full of history and science and so scholarly was it. This woman must have led a most noble and pure life to deserve so much praise and commendation that was brought in with this great sermon, and in the rest贮itions朗诵的 of the most distressing men of the race. Bishop Parks followed with a few remarks, and again repeated that we had come not to weep over the dead, but, as we took our last farewell look, to think on her life in its purity and endeavor to follow more closely in the steps of Jesus. The Rev. Dr. Wm. H. Peck, pastor of the Allen Chapel A. M. E. Church, Kansas City, Mo., sang a beautiful solo hymn in close to the seasion played by G. jeachin and Bench Doughass, of the Department of Music, Western University, assisted. At the close of the services the body was carried to Woodlaw Cemetery, where last funeral rites were conducted and the body placed in a vault. Mrs. Grant died at the age of 58 years. At the age of 18 she professed a hope in Christ, and joined the church at Lakeview, Fla. She was married twice, the first time to Bishop Armstrong, who died at her home on 3 October, at Witberforce University, she was married to Bishop Grant, to whom she married faithful until death separated them a few short evenings ago. At this point news comes to me that Bishop Grant passed away a few moments ago, after a lingering illness which confined him to his couch during the last two or three months. A most remarkable type of a man with a strong will power. At the time of the death of his wife, the Bishop was almost in the Death Angel's arms. Upon hearing of his wife's death, was hard, but he rallied through it, and was able to think of how he would attend the funeral of his dearly beloved wife. Finding it impossible, he urged that he must live long enough to change his will and immediately Dr. John Hurst, his administrator (Washington, D. C.), was wired to come at once. The Bishop lived long enough to change his will. Bishop Grant was born Aug. 24, 1847, near Lake City, Fla., and was almost 64 years of age at his death. He had been in the ministry for the last thirty-nine years, and received his ministerial training from several bishops and clergymen of the Methodist-Episcopal Church (South), who were attracted by his brightness in the earlier years of his life, when he was employed as head latter in the learning of Jacksonville, Fla. He was short of study of theology, he was ordained a minister, and sixteen years later was made a Bishop of the A. M. E. Church in 1904, he became bishop. T and for the past seven years has lived here in this city. While his diocess embraces only states west of the Mist River, he has great influence over the entire race. The Bishop had no years of declining power. Year by year he became more and more a leader of his people. He and Dr. Boecker T. Washington had become reco- lized as the race's two foremost leaders, and both have served on many prominent boards directing the education of the Negro in the Southland. Together they were members of the Trustee Board of the $1,000,000 Jeanes Fund, given for the education of the rural Negro. Bishop Grant himself, was one of the trustees of the Trustee Institute. He was head of the Trustee Department of the A. M. E. Church, and presided over the next General Conference of the A. M. E. church to be held in Kansas City, Mo., in 1912. The Bishop was, by virtue of his position, president or both the Boards, Church and State, of Western University. He last visited this institution in the fall of last year at the time of the November meeting of the Boards. Being unable to ascend the stairs to the main chapel, the students appeared in dress parade while he viewed them from a convenient point of view. Immediately after this he went to be home where his illness confined him till death. Owing to his illness, the Boards met at the Bishop's residence where he held the presidee for a while and he was forced to rest a while until all the business had been transacted and the meetings adjourned. As a man with strong will power, there was much in him to emulate. Practically during all his last sickness he was a conscious man, and realized how near death's door he stood. Frequently, he would remark to his fellow ministers, "Well, Brother, don't be surprised when you hear I am gone soon." Shortly after Bishop Lee, Bishop Parks and others had broken sacrament to him and his wife, she became suddenly ill. Hearing the hurrying of persons through the halls he realized that her case was serious, and insisted on knowing how ill she wife might be getting along. At first those around him feared to tell him of her death an hour after the sacrament, but he insisted that the sudden hush of his wife and he must know yet of his wife's condition. He raised through the terrible moment, and then set to thinking how he might attend the funeral which of course, was impossible. The Bishop, during all his illness was yet cheerful and sometimes a bit of humor was evident. The Bishop was a strict grammarian, thoroughly polished, despite the fact that his years of academic training in the school room were few, and often the classroom was old and new ways of pronunciation. About the last bit of humor shown by him was a few moments before his death, when one of the brethren came into his room and asked, "Well, Bishop, would you like to lay down?" The Bishop had been suffering, and suffered to the last moment, with an intense grief at what he is sitting in his bed, "No," he Bishop replied, "but I would like to lie down." When it became evident that the Bishop's life was numbered in days, he began to make out his funeral program. Those in charge have not completely arranged each and every detail. Our Senior Bishop, Henry McNeal Turner, of the Tenth Episcopal District, is expected to preach the sermon, and Bishop Parks will conduct the services. Bishop Lee and Dr. Hurst, who left only a few days before his death for points in the East, are expected to return to have a part in the Kansas City program. George Stubbs, of Kansas, who doubtless have a conspicuous part in the program. The body will lie in state in Allen Chapel all of Wednesday and Wednesday at midnight the Masons will conduct their funeral rites. The funeral services, proper will be held at 1 o'clock the following day Thursday, and immediately after the services are concluded the body will be taken to San Antonio. Then where a general program shall be arranged and where the bodint will interred.

After All, Mr. Editor, He says, Its the Little Things Done Well That Tells a Man's Worth. It is especially noted in winning that the deeper a man digs, the closer he is to wealth and prosperity. Often at short intervals we read of vast ruins of palaces being unearthed, but did it ever occur to you, that by digging for information in a hotel shipping room that you could unearth a wealth of brains that would revolutionize the international Negro. Well in truth all this has been one except the revolutionizing of the Negro, but the only drawback is in your attention and support of this very person. Perhaps, reader, you yourself, have transacted business over the counter of this shipping room, between the 8 p.m. and 8 p.m. If you did you name in contact with one of the prince's men that this era has yet produced. In this person, we have combined an intelligent conscientious, Christian man, full of race pride, whose modesty and your non-support alone have kept out of the limelight. But if you engage him in conversation, one and all must acknowledge either their equal or their superior. We hope in the near future to see this man, Mr. Lucus M. Washington throw off the robes of unnobility and emerge himself in positions where he has butplease among the 1932, and take on his race.

Originally his plans were to head westward Thursday, but a flattering offer for a week of theatrical performances at the apolis caused him to change his mind; hence he will, head for the Hoosier metropolis on Sunday, to remain until the following Sabbath. Jack was again escorted into the mysteries of the jujitsu art yesterday, and Professor O'Brien showed the pugilist a few things in the way of new "wrinkles."

Monahan will go back to the coast with Johnson, along with Bob Moha, the Milkman lad, who is billed to land the longer weight championship under the guidance of the Negro title-holder. Jack's chauffeur Charles Brown, and his brother, Charles Johnson, were arraigned Wednesday for disputing with Sergeant Malone, and Charles Cameron, another chauffeur, was also a defendant before Manicel Judge Newcomer for speeding in one of Johnson's cars.

The new Republican platform of the Progressive Insurgents and the views of Theodore Roosevelt seem to have paralleled and history is to repeat itself, if all well-willing men and all the Republican party still believes in a clean, respectable, honest form of government. The views of the National Progressive Republican League have been clearly defined in last Saturday's Outlook, and is a platform that could only be measured for defeat by the rebellion of thieves. Hence Theodore Roosevelt looms up as the most plausible candidate for 1912; there is no other candidate available, and the defeat of the party lies only in the unforgivingness of hardened hearts that must turn to selfishness to selfishly themselves will be able to repel political prestige. President Taft, like all other presidents of the past, from all indications, is now busy looking forward at the distance he has lost and wondering if he will ever be able to come back, and if not, will he help in the defeat of a once prosperous party?

The funeral was one of the largest in the history of Kansas and the ceremonies of the Masonic Order were impressive. Mr. Walker wore his Scottish emblem inscribed in gold, which he was, given when he made his debut. The body was interred at Oak Hill Cemetery.

LET THE GOVERNOR SPEAK. No Defamer, But Declaimer of Justice and Defender of Negro Rights Interna- tionally Regardless of Whose Feelings Are Injured. The following letter was received by the Chicago Defender from the cousin of the outraged Dr. Thompkins, Chicago, Jan. 25, 1911. Editor of the Chicago Defender. Will you kindly send the Chicago Defender for 1 year to Dr. Wm. J. Thompkins, 1512 E. 18th street, Kansas City, Mo., beginning the issue of January 14th. Please send at my expense and collect at your earliest convenience. Your very respectfully, MRS. H. M. SMITH, 3552 Rhodes Avenue. This letter itself dispels the theory of prevarication. In truth the first intimates that the Chicago Defender had of the affair in Vinita, Oklahoma, came direct from one of the citizens in that State, special to the Defender. Furthermore it can safely be added, that had the ballot been properly handled by our God-loving and man-learning Colored Christian (?) ploneers of Oklahoma conditions would be far different. How hard to the fact that Oklahoma authorities harsh methods in dealing with Negro residents and visitors of that State we can readily allow for our Colored brothers handling the authorities with kid gloves. Dr. Thompson's is now suing through the Federal court. We glory in his spunk, and would suggest that a certain Oklahoma paper would not be so egotistic, not mentioning the name for fear some one who never read it, or heard of it may get stung by buying one. The idea of the Defender copying from an Oklahoma sheet that caller is egotistic to say nothing, in fact it seems strange how some one can go through the world without being the people but I guess Oklahoma is the right place to stay. It will be remembered that the Doctor was arrested in Oklahoma for riding in a Pullman car.

How the Vegetables and Cans Should Be Prepared Absolute sanitary cleanliness and the best materials procurable are the first essentials for success in canning. The vegetables should be as fresh from the garden as possible. They are better picked in the early canning with the dew still on them. As a general rule, young vegetables are superior in flavor and texture to the more mature ones. Corn and beans should be canned as soon as possible after gathering, as sweetness and flavor are absorbed by their pods and husks. If for any reason the canning of spinach or other greens, string beans, sapuragus or orkra cannot be attended to at once, put in cold water or a cold, damp place until ready to attend to them. All root vegetables and greens must be thoroughly washed. Have the kitchen well swept and clean before beginning canning and the towels and aprons of the workers beyond suspicion. Even if the cans to be used were clean when put away sterilize them afresh, together with all the other utensils used in the work. The best way to do this is to put cans and covers, together with any other glass that is to be used, into a kettle of cold water and bring gradually to the boiling point. Then boil fifteen minutes. Leave the cans in this hot bath until ready to use, then take out one at a time and fill. Be sure tops and cans are a perfect fit and that the can rubbers are new. Black rubbers are more durable than the white. Glass is the most satisfactory jar to use in canning. Not only will a good glass can last indefinitely with intelligent care, but tin is more or less soluble in the acids or juices of fruits and vegetables. While there are many kinds of glass jars, the one with a glass top and spring clamp proves most satisfactory. In selecting a jar give the preference to those with the wide mouths - Delinelator For August SWAMPS IN SPITZBERGEN. Swedish Geologist Finds Traces Similar to Florida Cypresses. The same species of swamp cypresses that grows in Florida today once flourished in great profusion on Spitzerberg, says Count de Geer, the leader of a Swedish geological expedition which has just returned from an exploration trip to that bleak and icebound island. The expedition found geological strata which are described by Count de Geer as one colossal herbarium in a fossilized state. They justify the assumption that in early periods the entire north polar region was one vast low lying plain covered with dense forest. Evidences of the early vegetation now present themselves in extensive coal deposits which a newly formed company is beginning to work. It is expected that 50,000 tons of Spitzerberg coal will be shipped next year. Today no plant grows on Spitzerberg taller than an inch or two at the most. AS SHE TOLD IT. Life Story of a Woman Who Wanted a Short Monologue. "Are you the funny editor?" she asked, pausing for a moment in the doorway. "I want you to write a vaudville sketch for me. I hope you're going to be more sympathetic than you look, and that reminds me that of all the stony hearted people I ever met in all my life a certain theatrical manager in this town—But I don't suppose you care to hear about that, and I presume I ought to tell you at the start that I have been married. It was a very sad experience, and really it seems to me that any one with the instincts of a gentleman would at least have given me a hearing, but when I offered to read a scene from Shakespeare he called for help, and, as I was saying, it was a very sad experience—I mean my married life. Why, he treated me as if I had been the merest scum of the street and didn't even stop smoking or ask me to sit down when I went into his office, but I suppose he must be bothered a great deal by all kinds of people who think they can act. I had to leave him on account of his insane jealousy. If I merely spoke pleasantly to the postman he would fly into a passion, and almost the first thing he asked me was whether I'd be willing to wear tights, because he thought with my figure he might get me into some company, no matter whether I had talent or not. Just think of it! I don't believe we would ever have had any trouble if it hadn't been for his mother. She was always throwing out hints and tinsuating that I liked. More for ever than I did, and all that over does seem to me that he might at least have taken his feet down from his desk, and, oh, his language was something useful! I never was so insulted in all my life, but I suppose he had been used to dealing with a class of people who had to be talked to in that way. He might have seen by my appearance that I was used to something different, and he looked me over as if I had been merely a piece of furniture. His sister was partly to blame, too, and I can't help feeling awfully thankful that we never had any children, for it's such a pity when people who have little ones can't live together.

SYLVESTER RUSSELL. JESSE A. SHIPP'S MUSICAL FARCE COMEDY FILLS THE PEKIN. "Dr. Herb's Prescription, or It Happened In a Dream" was the week's offering which opened last Monday at the Pelkin. The chief fun-makers were Allie Gillam and Shelton Brooks, who as two hobo fishermen, a black man and a tramp, were particularly interesting, and later in act second, "Dreamland" gave them wider opportunities which were extravagantly operatic in point of legitimacy. Where Gillam's work is quite secure by practice, the art of Brooks was green and amateurish in its cleanness; but his song, "The Cosey Rag," was bright enough to receive several encores. Hattle Mcintosh, as commander of the army in Dreamland, was at her best, and her acting was most pronounced. "My Hero" was retained from last week as a popular singing number in which Fanny Wise again displayed her splendid vocal gifts with ravishing ardor. The orchestra was a little uneven at times, and there should be more unison between the violin and piano, but in this ensemble the burden of heavy vocal Adah Banks. "Pansy Brown," a new song by Johnson & Govern, artistically rendered by Fanny Wise, made a immediately popular. Miss Lottie Grady, who recovered from last week's, retardancy was as sweet and winning as of yore; her dreamy fancy, a light dramatic scene, and "Mums the Word, Mr. Moon," is a song in which she received several encores. Billy Johnson, in two characters, showed up most excellently as an experienced actor. Chas. Gilpin, as the doctor, and Will C. Elkins as the baker, were also among the clever artists which included Jerry Mills, Clarence Tinsdale, W. D. Coleman, Lloyd Gibbs, Maggie Davis, Daisy Brown, Katie Jones, Ethel Marlowe and Gertie Brown. The music of the production was arranged by George Bailey. There has been a great demand for a return production of "The Lime Kiln Club," which made the biggest hit of any play this season. Vincent, the wonderful trans-Atlantic Negro champion wrestler of the world, is still a Friday evening attraction, and the Jesse Shipp company is now drawing big houses. Gilmore, Kinky & Gilmore Crowd the Monogram. The usual fine-up took place at the Monogram to welcome Gilmore, Kinky & Gilmore after one years' absence on a tour which reached from New York, through Canada to the Pacific coast. Buddy Gilmore, the nimble little body of expert science in dances easily provoked the greatest kestrel enthusiasts around. K. J. enthousman, and M.R. Gilmour danced and sang better than ever. Kinky was the little girl that looked so sweet and shared honors with the Gilmores. The trio was just dressed to kill. Clayborne Jones, the one original and only dark extravaganza singing actor of his kind, made a distinct hit in his oddly conceived novelty creations. The Negro who is white, according to Prof. Greener, must hide his color in business life, but the stage prescribes that a clever comedian like Jones must be as black as possible to get work—and of such is the problem. Elvira Johnson and Jennie Ringgold are with us once more, as fair as summer and well made up. The dancing of Miss Johnson was extremely great and artistic. Miss Ringgold, now a fair beauty with auburn hair, shared honors with her partner, both scoring vocally. Gertrude and Jones, a clever team which pleased, was also on the bill. The orchestra at this house, under the direction of Prof. W. C. Sweatman, the world's greatest Colored clarionettest, since the coming of George Reeves, one of the cleverest of trap drummers, wins heavy encores after each selection. Joe Simms as the Whole Show at the Grand. The Dan Chain Lightning Minstrels fared will on their opening at the Grand. Miss Jacobs sang "Lovey Joe" to good advantage, Miss Mitchell sang a good song also. Mr. Martin, one of the end men, gave a good account of himself in being generally useful, and sang, "Maybe I'll Come Back." One of the features of the performance was the advent of Miss Bessie Brady who, in male attire, impersonated Mrs. Walker in "That's Why They Call Me Shine," and made a good impression with the aid of a countenance that is strikingly handsome. Joe Simms, of course, was the whole show; he has it down fine and measures it as he goes along, even if he will not keep upon the stage. He told what makes the thunder, with other side-splitting jokes, and young Mr. Thompson, nervously attentive to duty, and wearing nice tennis pants, sang impressively. The C. V. B. A. Bulletin has made its appearance in a modest way. J. Harry Jackson is editor and his badge is his advertising solicitor. This comes from New York. The Harper-Smith Trio is at the Wilson Theatre and will be here on the local time for an indefinite period. "Pansy Brown," introduced by Miss Wise at Mott's Pekin Theatre, is a sure success. It was composed by Luke E. Johnson and Alonzo Goven, who have now joined hands and gone into vaudeville. The Eva Quartet, now the finest comedy and singing Colored quartets in vaudeville, is at the Place Theatre Beautiful, North Avenue this week. Colored actors are being advised to get on the United Booking Association time. They seem to be some George Braxton is the pick, a wonderful little tumbler, and the other little party consists of Katie Hunter, Harry Irons and James Cornell. Manager Harry Goodman has received the copyright of his title to the name of the original "Samoan Girls" acts, of which he is the producer and manager. All infringement upon his rights will be vigorously prosecuted by his attorney, W. C. Grivt. S. H. Lene's Chocolate Bon Bess, a musical troupe recently open' at Paulding, Ohio, for a tour of the interior. They are presenting "The Darktown Opera Troupe" with Madam Corrine Brown, a baritone contralto, as the star attraction. J. Lubble Hill's comedy, "The Black- ville Corporation," with music by W. H. Vodrey, is now on a Southern tour said to be doing nicely. There are conflicting rumors regarding the management. Among some of the members of the company are Leona Marshall, Evon Robinson, Mayme Butler, William Brown, Richard Shelton, Louis A. Mitchell, and others. Madam M. Adams, a prima donna soprano, has been busy on two fine songs which she has composed since her arrival home. After a call by invitation to hear Madam Adams in a private recital at her residence on Forest avenue, I am prepared to state that this lady can safely be numbered with the list of classical singers who actually possess voices and have vocal culture with it. But it would be a little too previous to pass any valuable judgment on this lady's voice until I have heard her in a public recital. John McNeal and wife have been filling dates at the North and State street houses. They are to play some Michigan time next week. Mr. McNeil was given a reception at his cousin's residence. They regret the death of Mr. George W. Walker and Slim Henderson. --- Murphy and Francis will be headliners at the Grand next week. They come direct from New York. * * * Harding and Brennon Form Moving Picture Vaudeville Alliance Picture Vaudeville Alliance.

Kelly was in the service of the Pullman Company for th past five years, putting in the most f his time over the Chicago and Eastn Illinois Ry. to St. Louis, Mo. Mr. Celley is a practical business men an the Chicago Defender wishes him access in his new enterprise. Chicago is to secure therule of Rock Island; management of a company will be transferred from New York City, and jurisdiction okeneral passenger agents is changed. Another shift in management of the Rock Island system was borted Jan. 20, 1911, when it was animated that the affairs of the company after will be directed chiefly from Chicago instead of New York. While the plan is regarded as tentative at the present time, all indications is said, point to a completion of the scheme within a short time. ew York has been regarded for a long time as the chief headquarters of Rock Island and the source from which emanated orders relating to changes in officials and matters of policy. If the plan now being considered goes through, it is declared a large amount of the executive wid will be shifted from the east to the west. Robert Walker Here Robert Walker, chairman of the executive committee of the Rock Island Railway and president of the Rock Island Company of New Jersey—a holding corporation—arrived in Chicago from New York Jan. 20th, and will make his headquarters here temporarily. H. M. Sloan, vice-president and assistant to Chairman Walker, will come to Chicago from New York soon for the purpose of assuming his new duties as assistant to President H. N. Mudge. Mr. Sloan will succeed A. B. Sweet, who has been chosen general manager of the second division of the Rock Island, with headquarters in Topeka, Kansas. Jurisdiction Order Coming.
