Chicago Defender

AN APPEAL OF UNUSUAL STRENGTH Delivered by Rev. Moses H. Jackson at the Sunday Morning Services of Grace Presbyterian Church. A PLEA FOR PLAIN MANHOOD. Commanding the Instant Attention of .His Audience With the Strong Words of the Apostle Paul: "Quilt yourselves like men" (1st San. 4:9), the Rev. Mr. Jackson Preached in a vein of Convincing Sincerity to a Fully Appreciative Congregation. He Said In Part: 33 (Reported for the Defender by Mr. R. L. Mays.) Men represent the strength of the race—strength of arm and of body, first, and also strength of resolution and intellect and purpose. Such a cry as the text always means, Nerve yourself to do your best! Brace yourself for the shock of battle! Let your courage be strong! Be resolved! Be determined to win. But, in a great undertaking, there must also be worthy action: "Quit you like men!" Action is called for a kind consistent with the support of the arm of men in the tests of poxness, either physical or moral. "Quit you like men" means like act real, manly men, and not like those who merely wear the blanance of men, and never do the manly part—men whose faces turn pale, whose lips quiver, whose knees shake, and whose palsied hands drop the sword in the time of crisis. Perhaps the contrast offered is to women, who are commonly called "the innocent," and to be cowardly in the presence of physical danger, and inefficient in every crisis calling for prowess, resolution, determination and courage. "Quit you like men!" Do not act the part of a cravenly, cowardly, inefficient man—do not be a man! Let those who are men do the manly part, and not the part of patroons and wanderers." priety, however, has largely taken the place of mortal courage; for there is far less war now than there was a comparatively short time ago; but the time of the patterson, when he was in the middle of war, never come; they will always exist while human nature remains imperfect. Moral heroes have always been, and will always be, a need of the age. The excellent, the really fine things which men have prized more than gold, and for which they have been willing to die, will never be so cheap that they not have to suffer the holy institution of brave, self-sacrificing manly hearts. The challenge to real manliness meets men everywhere and in all their relationships in life. This challenge comes to the individual man. It meets him when he rises in the morning, confronts him in all his dealings during the day; appeals to him when tempted to utter a word he has heard; he finds himself betrayed into any unfair dealing with another; remonstrates with him if ever, in unpredictable by the he is swayed, or tempted, and sly means of disposal word to one of the cruel or cutting resent it. Woody will not, or cannot inform and olden, children, and the receive the man, are entitled to, and protection from, him. He lives on the street, in all public he home on the veracaries. The challenge to maltiness calls away men from those customs in which many indulge. in these times when so many men spend in pearls that should be themselves the money that should be enjoyed, and spend at all, for the enjoyment, and even the fort, of the wife burdened with the care of the home and of the children. The challenge to maltiness calls men away from all those thoughts and actions by which they betoul and pollute their own souls with impurity, and by which they may stain a pure womany, or sink to still deeper depths one already stained. A many man will do nothing to degrade any man's sister, daughter, wife or mother—he will not cherish thoughts or purposes which lead to embarrassment, or to displeasure in relationship of the men who do such things, if he knows they do them. We frequently hear complaint that our young women are too cheap, but who makes them cheap, except the cheap men who spend a large part of their time in the cheap saloons among other cheap loafers, imbibing each other's low, cheap ideas and manners, or among degraded cheap women to whom they have sold themselves, and from whom they go, fuming with the odors of shameless resorts into our most representative families, too often monopolizing the company, our closest young women, and our most accustomed call them by no harsher name, who corrupt our young womanhood and little it, who leave their slimy trail across the family threshold of this city, fast reproach upon us as a race, and fix their accursed blight upon the generations to come. Would to God that any word I might say from this desk would recall the men who come under this description from their rulous course, and stir them to be strong for decency, and quit themselves like true, manly men. For them it would mean self-conquest—e driving out of those things in the n which unmake him, and the The Chicago Defender. the man to rule himself, "Mightier is he," declared Solomon, "that ruleth his own spirit, than he that taketh a city." Of course, all this implies the public spiritlessness which is an element of true manliness. Public spiritlessness is an important element in many men's characters which is challenged into action. Amongst our people, our public spiritlessness, and hence our manliness, in this regard, has been shown, mostly, in the support we have given our churches. We have not found it necessary to build other institutions, as the public funds, and the funds of benevolent white indigenees, schools, asylums, hospitals, and the like. But there is now a growing need of these institutions amongst us, cewing to the centering of our population in cities, and the effort to realize more fully the needs of our people along all lines. In some places the manliness of the race has been aroused and challenged and the challenge accepted, to do a noble part. Some of our schools, asylums and hospitals are monuments to their devotion and energy, especially in the South; but it must be acknowledged that, in our own dear Chicago, the President of the University of a warm colored people, for Young Women, have had but a sorry support. There is a growing need that we hear the challenge of these times to our manliness, as this may be manifested in our public spiritlessness. The time has now when we must do more to help ourselves; for the white friends who have been doing for us, we not being able to do for ourselves, are leaving his help for us; for the parted and, as we are better able to help ourselves now, we can only and esteem of their children, and of ourselves, as we strive earnestly to cultivate the manly, independent spirit of self-help. That when the manly spirit of the men on our race is rightly appealed to, there will be the mainly response, has already been demonstrated in the movement introduced amongst us, lately, by a stranger, resulting in securing subscriptions for the work of the men than was asked for; for all of whom than was believed that if, in Chicago, or any where else, our people fall in doing the needed part, it is because wise business methods were not used, and the manly spirit was not wisely aroused and led to success. Competent, unselfish leadership is what we need more than anything else, perhaps, except the grace of God. "Be strong, quit you like men!" All that was dark and malign and perilous in that heathen age and among that heathen people was against the Apostle Paul, and against the church to which he wrote similar to the manly spirit; the appealing to the manly spirit; the a line of conduct consistent with its history. Prophets, apostles and martyrs had played the manly part and given their lives for the truth, as Jesus, their great Leader and Head had done, and left the inspiration of His example, and Paul evokes this same spirit in order that he him be saved for the life of a hero, spending himself, for others, witnessing for the truth, and dying the death of the martyr. Will CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1911 MONTGOMERY ALIVE WITH VISITORS Tuskegee Overflow Flood Montgomery to its Very Edges With Conference Visitors—Whist Is Played in Montgomery Like in Chicago, MME. E. A. HACKLEY ATTRACTION. MaJ. and Mrs. Ramsey Entertained Elegantly at Their Hostelry—Mrs. C. B. H. Glass is Building Three Houses—Not of Glass, but Stone. By Mrs. Kate Glass Brothers. The friends of Dr. A. C. Dungee are glad to see him out after having been confined to bed for several weeks. Quite a number of visitors passed through this city during the week on their way home from the Tuskegee conference. Mrs. Bell is spending a few days with her cousin, Mrs. Wyman, after being the guest of Major and Mrs. Ramsey, of Tuskegee. She reports a grand and interesting meeting with the farmers. She will leave for her home, Mobile, Monday. Madam E. A. Hackley was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Northcross last Saturday. She was passing through from Tuskegee en route to New Orleans. Mrs. Northcross left Saturday for Chicago, where she will resume her medical studies. Mrs. Victoria Wilson is still on the sick list; also Mr. Leo Blunt. Mr. C. B. H. Glass is building three new houses for rent on Chilton street. Mr. O. L. Campbell is meeting with quite a success in his business. His barber shop is an ideal place to visit. It is beautifully furnished. Miss Anne Louise Brown and Mrs. Irene Webb will entertain at whist-tomorrow for visiting ladies. Bishop J. W. Alstock, with two of the other official members of "Love and Charity" have gone to Mississippi (Bloxif) on fraternal business. Mr. on J. E. Johnson has an automobile the street for hire, and in a few days will bring out another. Mr. Johnson is an all around business man. anyone deny that this challenge to the manliness in men is the challenge of the church and of Christianity? Where does the spirit of manliness in men spring from, if not from God? And who has half so good a right to use it as the church and the Christian minister? When was there ever more need for such a challenge, or a manly spirit, to congratulating the manly spirit that is in men, then now and here in our city, and in our church? Need I to describe the manly spirit? I think you know it already. No manly man, you will all say, will leave his work for women to do. The manly man will carry a little more than his own proper burden, in order that his mother, his sister and his wife and daughter may not be borne down. The manly Christian man, wherever you put him, will not be satisfied to do less than his part, a full man's part, according to his ability, fairly and honestly judged. It is a manly part to live a real Christian life, rather than to be slipping in and out of places where you would not want your mother, your wife, or your pastor to see you. It is a manly thing to pray, to trust and obey God fully every day. It is a manly thing to live, so serve, and so use your inner self, can without knowing in your heart that you are a hypocrite, hold your soul open towards heaven that its light may shine and the scrutiny of God may search your soul. There has been a tremendous development of manliness in this city of late, as anyone must believe who has paid attention to the movement amongst the men under the leadership of the Y. M. C. A. campaign. We have seen the commander of a thousand men, who perhaps influences the lives of hundreds or thousands of others, identify himself with this movement and take his place in the church of God. We have learned, too, that there are other priests besides those been in the line of the kings of the earth. We learned that real princes are those who do princely deeds; and that the challenge to manliness, as we have heard it, has revealed one in our number, who, in the hour of testing, stepped into the front rank, or ahead of the front rank, by making the supreme sacrifice entilling him to that distinction of a prince among his kind. Who is here today that is ready to accept the challenge by throwing off every unmany thing which has fast ened itself upon him, whether this related to him as an individual, as member of the community, or as a religious man? It is a manly thing to confess that you were wrong by turning away from the wrong to the right; to square your life according to the canons of good citizenship; to regulate your conduct by the word; to resolve here and now, God helping you, that you will be strong—thoroughly resolved and determined—against sin, and that in all work, hereof, you will play the part of a Christian Jesus. The best thing you could do is to settle the thing in your own heart between yourself and your Maker, is to take a hold, open stand as a member of the Church of God. Prof. Buchanan, of Hunville, gave an interesting talk to the teachers and students of the State Normal school last week. The store owned and occupied by Mr. C. B. H. Glass was totally lost by fire early Monday morning. Mrs. Ida Shaw Bouer, of North Carolina, spent a most delightful time here visiting parents and friends Dr. Bouer has a wide practice and their friends are delighted over it.

CAROLINA A SKUNK Says He is a Friend to the Negroes of His State, But Cannot Stand to See a Nigger "Toat Mali," Carry the U. S. Musket and Tip His Hat to White Ladies. ! PRAY GOD TO HELP ME. "Keep the Niggers Down and to Help Me Keep Them From Learning to Read and Write Like White Folks." THIS IS GOVERNOR BLEASES IN-AUGURAL ADDRESS WHEN HE TOOK HIS SEAT. MULATTOES TO BE TAGGED. Special to the Chicago Defender. Columbia, S. C., Feb. 3—When the governor of this state address the legislature as to what he hopes they would do in forthcoming the interest of the grand old palmatto state, he said he wanted a law that would place a tag on all mulatoes, so that they could be distinguished from the red necks. In this particular I would say that there is no need for that as you are only to look at the faces and the ones who are the most intelligent looking are Negroes or Mulatoes as to the education of the Negroes in this state the Negro hater, who it is said that Negro blot in his veins has this to say about the education of the Negro: it am open to people whose faces belonged to educate Negroes. I am a friend to the Negro race: This is proved by the regard in which the Negroes of my home county hold me. true people of the South are the best friends to the Negro race. In my opinion, when the people of this country began to try to educate the Negro they made a serious and grave mistake, and I fear the worst result is yet to come. So why continue? I took the same position in my first political race many years ago, and I proceed with cleanliness. I was right then, and the now will emphasize that I am right now. I believe that members of the legislature can pass an act which will meet all requirements of both the federal and State constitutions, which will remedy this, and I recommend that you do so. The present system of paying schools their pro rata share by enrollment it is absurd, because the Negro teachers have learned how to pad their rolls, and attempt to be possible one or two times are enrolled and the schools receive money upon their enrollment. I could go into this mater more elaborately, but time will not permit. I respectfully refer to the report of your State superintendent of education, and I am sure if any of your committees will ask him, he will be delighted to furnish you all the information in his possession along this line. And now, in conclusion, I pray God's aid to furnish you all the information and that you do your full duty conscientiously, and to the best interests of the entire people of your State. And as for myself, I pray God that he may be fair and impartial to all of the citizens of my State, both black and white, and that he may direct me that during my term of office his will, and not mine, shall be done. The Common School. I am in favor of building up the free school system so that every white child in South Carr, may be given a good common school education in comfortable and convenient school houses, and in paying teachers sufficient salaries to secure the best, and of books, especially histories, by Southern authors for Southern children and hope that you will take action and make such app. action as will bring about these reforms.

The conditions up until the time of his departure from the State are beyond the recognition of a barbarian, and it appeals to the Defender to be the helpful agent in the defense of the newspaper (adhering to pioneering privileges) to attack an article written for their benefit as well as the other representatives residing in that blot of shame and disgrace to the name of Christopher Columbus, to claim Christianity. However it is a waste of printers paper in question, as we have passed the pioneering stage 50 years ago and can be safely called stanch settlers and here to stay. Nevertheless we feel it our duty to uphold the rights of fight for its rights and eliminate its enemies through the old law.—The "survival of the fittest".

The Boosters seem to have taken the place of the Chicago commercial Club who only sixteen months ago swore all vengeance of their loyalty as to what they would and intended to do for Chicago, and after a few short weeks the thing was down and out, the Negro Business Men's League and the Commercial Club members were thinking that one of the clubs were trying to take the thunder from the other, but after all it died the death of a cat. Now an entirely new organization, The Boosters, they have a big bank account, by the way, but don't tell the big men over east for there will be more of them into it then you can imagine the rest. They pay $40 per month to maintain and run a hall, something the Business Men's League has not thought of doing, and something the Commercial Club would never consider. The Boosters have not worked up to the Pekin Inn as yet, where one can have a battle royal across the table, shooting hot air, beef balls, and sweet pass at each other, and we are glad that they are not; for if they did, their death would be as sudden as the many things which have been started by our dreamers. But the Boosters have gone at it like the people in the South do things, go in to win, even if it takes all summer. The Boosters took charge of the Sunday at Bethel last Sunday and entertained over 200 guests for one hour and a half. Their object is, to trade with the Jew and the white man that employees Colored clerks, in their stores and more particularly to help build up their own men in business in order that they will be able to hire their young men and women when they leave high school and college. Chicago needs such a club for the big man of the race, does not believe in helping anyone outside his immediate family. THEODORE W.

Mr. Jones Under Flag of Truce Want to Speak of Peace. Young Jones, Known Now as "Little Corporal." Stuck To His Gun for 4 Hours. The Jones Are All of Chicago and Are Known in the Smart. They Are People of Means and Refinement. Chicago Friends in Sympathy With Mrs. Jones. Topeka, Kan., Feb. 3.—The breach between Theodore W. Jones and his alleged wife, Helen C. Jones, was opened again last night wider than ever when the former was driven away from his home, after five shots were fired at him. That Jones was not seriously injured was considered a lucky accident. One of the shots struck a gold watch he was carrying in his pocket, seriously damaging the watch, and another shot made a slight flesh wound in one of his legs. Besides that he carried several holes in his coat and vest away with him as evidences of the struggle. During his recent absence a woman who claimed she was his wife and whom he disowns, came here and took possession of the house at the corner of Thirteenth and Tyler streets. When Jones came back he went home and found the house occupied. Thereupon he went away and returned with a friend, attempting to enter the house through a window. This move by blondy by blondy with the big Winchester rifle, and Jones retreated. After the racket neighbors telephoned to the police, and two officers, not knowing who owned the house, went to the scene and spent the night there to avert further trouble. Subsequently the woman was awarded the temporary control of the house, and Jones was allowed one room in it in which he could sleep. Things went along nicely until Jones decided to move away, and last night he went out there with an express wagon, meaning to haul away his share of the household goods, and to permit the woman to the other half. Prior to the visit however, Attorney E. D. McKeever, represents Jones, would head representatives and hired Chief Jenkins if he thought it would be necessary to send an officer out to keep peace. The matter was talked over, Attorney McKeever believing that their woul be no trouble, and it was decided that the presence of an officer was superfluous. But the trouble came in bunches as soon as Jones put in an appearance. He was met at the door by his wife in belligerent attitude, and by his son who was carrying a revolver of small caliber. The latter, Jones says, attempted to shoot him and he knocked the gun from the boy's hands. Thereupon the boy clinched with him and told his mother to pick the gun up. The mother says she did, firing five shots in all. Seeing that the revolver was not going to be enough to drive him away, the boy dived back into the house and secured the Winchester, which Jones had not seen before, and he decided it was time to retreat, which he did accordingly. "Jones did not go out there with any idea of any trouble," said Attorney McKeever last night. "He was not armed, and had no way of defending himself, I have advised him not to get into trouble with the woman, and he believed he could move halfway up the staircase goods without a weapon, his part. I hardly think he will ask for warrants either for Mrs. Jones or her son." The woman claims to be Jones' wife, and declares she is entitled to half of his property. She is said to come here from Chicago during his absence in the West to demand her rights. The son, who put in an appearance last night is a new factor in the case having been imported only a few days ago—Topeka Daily Capital. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY CLUB The mass meeting held in Bethel church last Sunday was attended by a very enthusiastic body of women, and much good for the "Home" was accomplished. We feel very grateful indeed to all who helped make this meeting a success. Our Chairman, Mrs. Wm. Fischer deserves great credit for her program and she is not responsible for those who disappointed her. Our musical people do not always keep their promises, we are sorry to say. Much praise was given to Mrs. Wooley for her article in the Tribune, speaking of our needs, also to our own paper the Illinois Chronicle for its kind editorial. All of these things help us. Through those articles our financial secretary received checks for $17.00 last week. From our sister clubs donations as follows: Charity Club . . . $5.00 Volunteer Workers . . . 5.00 Vic League . . . 3.00 Members of Phyllis Whettler: Mrs. Genevieve Coleman . . . 1.00 Mrs. Shivers . . . 1.00 Mrs. Blake . . . 5.00 Making a total of 41.00, reported with more on the way.

Many of the ladies have soliciting papers also and we feel sure no person can refuse to help us after hearing of our needs. We need a much larger home to accommodate all who apply. Mr. Robert Motts, owner of the Pekin Theatre, has again shown us his favor by giving us, through the solicitation of Mrs. Ophie Wells, the use of his beautiful theatre for a benefit matinee, Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 21. A splendid program is being arranged. The very best talent will appear. The entire proceeds will go to this mortgage fund. We hope every person will purchase one or more tickets. Mrs. Wells will place tickets in the hands of responsible people all over the city. This is not the first time Mr. Motts has so generously responded to our call for help. We hope for a continuous prosperity and we wish for many more such friends as he, to help us carry on this work. Another mass meeting will be held soon to keep the work before the people, so that all maw know just what we are doing. LEXINGTON, MO., NOTES And a Word From Nearby Towns To All Who Read This Column of Sincere Man By M. Arnold. Lexington, Mo., Feb. 3.—Notice—In looking over my account books, I find that some of my customers are two and three months behind in paying up their monthly bills for the Defender. All persons whose monthly bills are now due are requested to have payment ready by Monday morning, Feb. 6th, as the collector will be around to see you. J. H. Arnold, agent. If the parents of our race would send their boys and girls to Sunday school and services every Sunday in place of letting them go on the ballroom floors, what a power it would be to the race. There are too many of our young people in the dance and wine rooms, and the sooner these rooms are closed up the better it will be for them. Exherton has too many young dancers in tans, and no good is going to come to them until they learn to stop this foolishness and live a better life. Many a young lady has lost her life on the ball room floor in a scrap of some kind, and unless it is stopped many will lose theirs. I appeal to all Christians to stay away from these places and help close them up necessary, as they are only pit holes in our young boy sand girls to fall into. Mrs. Amelia Rucker, of Kansas City, Mo., is in Lexington, visiting her mother, Mrs. J. H. Mathews. She will spend the rest of the winter at home with her mother. Don't forget to see J. H. Arnold when you want Occidental Bouquet toilet water -50 cents a pint; one-half pint 25 cents. No sample given. It is W. M. Hunt entertained a few young ladies at their residence last Wednesday in honor of their daughter Eva's 18th birthday. Quite an enjoyable time was had. Ice cream, cake, and bananas were served. Little Marie Walker was the center of attraction; she was very entertaining. The following young ladies were present and spent the night with Miss Hunter: Little Miss Marie Walker, Miss Glover Hawkins, Maggie Johnson, Goldie Talbot, Cordella Hayes, Hale Smith and Mace Wilson. On Saturday was eaten the next morning and all departed for school declaring Mrs. Hunter as being a most charming hostess, and wishing Miss Eva M. Hunter many more happy birthdays. Miss Hunter is one of our most beautiful and charming young ladies and much beloved by all who know her best. THE RUMMAGE SALE.A SUCCESS. On last Friday evening at the Douglas Center the members of the Congregational Church officiated in a rummage in the interest of the church, and a very interesting program was rendered. The program was opened by a pretty piano solo played in a masterly way by little Miss Nannie Balam. Miss Blanche Shaw read an interesting paper on music, and her carriage in expressing herself is a pleasure to observe. Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams favored the audience with strong, interesting remarks. It is always a great advantage to hear Dr. Williams. Mr. Hugh J. T. Buchanan, one of Chicago's known popular baritone singers, swayed the audience with two beautiful songs. He has a rich voice, and the tones being pure either high or low shows a high state of cultivation. Mrs. Chaz. R. Lewis, chairman of the program committee, with a few assistants, kept the audience in an uproar of laughter with one of her select readings. Everyone went away reporting very pleasant time. CORNELL CHARITY CLUB. Cornell Charity Club met at the home of Mrs. Nettie Jones, 6121 Michigan avenue, Friday, Jan. 27th. A very interesting time was had. The club donated five dollars to the Phyllis Wheatley Home. Praise services were conducted by Mrs. Selena Gray. Our new member, Mrs. Rosie T. Moore, was present. The club will meet Friday, Feb. 10th, at the home of Mrs. Fannie Brown, 342 W. 85th str. Mrs. Minnie M. Mitchem, President; Mrs. Minnie E. Roach, Secretary. GREAT EXCITEMENT AT JO-CY STACKS BALL. Attempt is Made to Deprive The Defender Reporter of His Freedom. Consternation reigned supreme for a few moments at the Jo-Clos Stacka-Ball; women screamed and tried to faint, men yelled and ran amuck, waiters were strewn on the floor, bartenders wertsed their posts and one man was seen to make his departure via the window exit. Throughout this turmoll, two innocent appearing young men were noticed standing at the bar coolly taking in the situation. Upon being questioned by the police, as to the cause of the disturbance it went through, they defended Reporters who had requested water from the bartender, not knowing that Champaign had been substituted in its place. After this satisfactory explanation order was restored and merry-making was resumed and joy was unconfided. THE NON-PARIEL QUINTET VICTOR.

CHICAGO HOTEL NEWS All, Up-to-date Hotel News and News of Bell Hops. Mr. G. G. Wilson, head waiter at the Auditorium Hotel, was called to the bedside of his mother, who was very ill at her home in Memphis. Tenn. He was gone several days, but on his return brought the glad news of her improvement. Mr. Wilson has the sympathy of the Defender, for "there is none like mother, after all." The Chinese bear the credit of having the cleanest kitchens of any nationality of caterers. However that may be, one thing is certain, they take every precaution to keep from having volumes of grease-laden steam continuously arising and condensing upon the walls and fixtures, and the presence of grease-coated cooking utensils. As a preventative, his Celestial Majesty cuts all animal fat away from his meats, meaning such portions of fat which are only dirt producing, leaving, of course, that which is for flavoring. And as this is the "cause that leads to the effect," namely (dirty, greasy kitchens), let us learn as soon as possible which are dirt-producing and which are flavoring fats. Here's one on the Blackstone: Several days ago, there came to the Blackstone Hotel a Southerner and with him several Colored servants. Upon asking at the clerk's desk for apartments for himself and servants, the clerk with the authority which oversees the better in the owner of the Blackstone hotel guest, "That they should be glad to serve him, but would not have Negroes in the hotel." Whereupon the gentleman from the South grew angry and spoke to the clerk, saying: "What do you mean by, addressing me so? Why, I am paying your your salary, and I am one of the directors of this hotel, so get busy now and arrange my rooms." Why did fall? The clerk forgot it was his business to remain behind his desk; came out and assisted with the baggage himself. I guess from now on, "Mr. Clerk" will remember the little motto, "Be sure you're right, then go ahead."

Dudley, one of the best and withal funniest Colored comedians on the stage, will head the Famous Smart: Set Company at Weber's Theatre the week of Feb. 26th, the customary matinees. The organization will present that laughable three-act musical comedy entitled "His Honor the Barber." The offering is said to be the best this remarkable troupe has ever appeared in in years. All the songs are certain to be catchy and will doubtless be whispered over town before the engagement is half over. In the cast are S. H. Dudley, Ella Anderson, Andrew Tribble, and last but not least Alda Overton Walker, in an entirely new specialty. Alhambra Theatre The great all-star show, Phil Sheridan's Marathon Girls, which will be the attraction at the Alhambra Theatre next week, includes such famous vaudevillians as Ed Morton, the great character vocalist; Alfred K. Hall, eccentric dancer and comedian; Hastings & Wilson, "The Lunatic"; Carlie Cooper, dainty comedienne; Mark Adams and Louis Rashman, German dialect comedians, and the Australian Folee Dench, and a 'big company' of witching, attractively attired dancers; Aaron Hoffman's screenwriting funny musical farce in two acts entitled "Crazy Finance," will be presented, and the scenic and costume effects are most bewildering and pretentious. Manager Sheridan has certainly outdone all previous efforts, and the many friends of this popular manager have so declared it. Ladies' special matinee, 10 cents. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC. Living in an age of baseless theosophy, I am about to elucidate the sacredness of art in musical cultivation. We are striving to reach a field of musical progress that will broaden the minds and morals of a newer generation. The Christian church and the legitimate theatre must therefore come closer together as a musical alliance and for the good of the classics as a means of moral elevation. And so to have our spiritual strength renewed and to escape the vice inviting scenes of a sin-laden city, I attended Quinn Chapel last Sunday evening to witness the second monthly sacred concert by Prof. Edward F. Morris. After the opening hymn, a prayer by Dr. W. D. Cook, the pastor, and the reading of the scriptures, the Christian Endeavor chang song. A piano solo was rendered by Miss Araminta Thomas, followed by a solo, "Hear Ye, Israel," rendered by Mrs. Jackson, a lady who has no soul but whose sweet soprano voice atoned for those sweet of its lustre, "Light Thine Eyes, a tuneful trio; Prof. Charles Elgen, a violinist whose work showed signs of art, method and polish; the Young People's Cantata club, including a robust boy soprano; Ava Maria, by Miss Irma Clark, and the Christian Endeavor choir completed the program. While comment on sacred concerts has never been general among our people, it will tend to make church work interesting, providing the programs are not too long and tedious. The S. S. Hotel at the Pekin. Instead of a modification we have been awakened by the broadening out of Jesse A. Shipp's musical comedy stock company at Mott's Pekin Theatre. Each play is from Mr. Shipp's own pen and staged under his own supervision. The S. S., Sea Shore, See Sure or Sarah Smith Hotel shows that Mr. Shipp has developed from his serious studies of human nature and now looks upon life as a machine. In an effort to maintain in mindful simplicity, with no attempt to untangle a force in two acts, but to review the merits of the actors is all that space will require. Hattie McIntosh, one of the most interesting natural actresses that time and opportunity has brought out, as owner of the hotel, Billy Johnson, as the clerk, whose work was executed with a dash: Charles Gilpin, who was artistically drunk; Jerry Mills, a distinguished manager, and the scenes which brought the refined and finished work of Clarence Tisdale, Lloyd Gibbons, Will C. Elkins and W. D. Coleman into play as quartette singers, was formative experience. The two comedians, Billy Gilpin, had reasonable Brook in new roles, gave reasonable satisfaction. Where we can see snacks and flashes of Glamour we can brillan future, his speaking voice will need a course of training. Mr. Brooks continues to improve in stubborn earned experience, until he forges art to stare at his audience and "Cosey Rag" could have been laid aside for another song, old or new. Of the singing numbers Mrs. Fanny Wise was easily the favorite and Miss Lottie Grady, the Pekin beauty the Bear Cat Rag was dainty and exquisite, "Senora," which introduced the song as aely song and chorus, Clarence Tisdale, a semi-classical number to good effect, and at the sea shore in the final of the second act, Miss Marie Burton made her first appearance in this company. "All That I Ask of You is Love," although a little forced in temper, vocally, her voice was adequate and she again repeated her former success in that number. The work of the company, especially the dancing of Maggie Davis, Ada Jones, Gertle Brown, Ethel Marlowe and Daisy Brown in the ensembles was in cooperation with the high standard of the orchestra, yet a little ton, noisy, form and the scenery and customers a quite attractive to the exe. "Dr business. Manager Motts and Acting Director Corker were all smiles as the large, cheerful audience of first nighters passed out. People Turned Away at the Monogram. There was a good reason for the crowds which congested the doorway at the Monogram. Jesse and Delia Clipper had returned and the man with the magnificent voice again made musical and comedy love to his pretty little wife who had threatened to forsake him. The change from dispair to the warmth of happiness, Miss Clippers good acting and her hands grotesque comical finish was the main cause but there were other causes. Miss Rose Brown's Belles were on the bill. While Miss Brown has not yet properly placed herself in a female sketch yet we are always pleased with the art-method, humor and finish of her work and the voice she uses in it. "That's why they call me shine" was her best effort but why not get a Rose Brown original to add to her own greatness for a woman who is decidedly clever. Claire Unirey a black face, oceandian, very languageable in darky dialect, up to dainty and whose dances give evidence of comic styles in practice, was a number on the program. Lemley and Trimble was a new team which opened the show. Although their dialogue was coarse and unacceptable, they were both clever and the female impersonator scored on the finish. MURPHY AND FRANCIS AT THE GRAND. Bert Murphy in black face was the signal for an ovation as he walked upon the stage at the Grand Manday night. He had forgotten, his lady friend and when Miss Francis appeared as a welcome visitor to the audience it did not appear that she was pleased with her husbands doings at the ball that night. One trouble follows another in an M. and F. sketch and after her husbands dress suit was torn to rags and he was thrown out of a restaurant, all the troubles of comedy singing and dancing were exposed right there. Murphy don't need black to make him funny as he is quite as funny without it. We will be able to stand him for another week if he will wash it off and amuse us without it. Stewart and Grundy did clever and excellent work in their favorite sketch. When Shewart sang a song that's out of season I told an actress who sat next to me that he had sang it, once too often. She hardly believed me. But when the song dropped dead and he didn't get a role, she saw the reason why we have, a comic artist who makes actors good and makes managers rich, independent - andassy; Bell and Forbes, a white team, gave a modern musical, comedy and dance act as a warning to stubborn, lazy actors who want to have good time and think we must uphold them in their laziness, when all back numbers are counted out. Ora Criswell was good but her act calls for style and dresses. * * * Billy Starks and Joe Brown have joined hands and gone to work. The Tom Fletcher Duo, now on the Butterfield time, fluttered into Chicago to spend Sunday. Cliff Green opened at the Crystal one day last week working alone. It is rumored that he is to double up with Froctor. Eddle Gray the tenor singer has written a new song "It's hard to Love some one." It has been arranged by Prof. William Dorssey and can be heard at his Studio, 3159 State street in the rear of the Frank L. Gale Plano Company. Kid Thomas and Margaret Ward have arrived in Frisco. Jerome and Lewis who recently opened on the Pantheges circuit have returned owing to some dissatisfaction in the terms of their contract. Bob A. Kelley and Mr. Catlin, America's greatest Chinese impersonator, are on the New England time, and Frank Clermono who has been under the doctors care from overwork while nursing his wife during her recent illness, reports that he is feeling moderately well. Clermono and Miner played a new big time house at Dover, N. J. recently. Miller and Lyles opened at Hammersleins Victoria Theatre, Broadway New York last Monday. The Springfield (Mass.) Union recently spoke of them as follows: "Miller and Lyles are a couple of Colored entertainers who delight the audience. There is much of dazzle wilt in their conversations. And their burlesque boxing match to dance time is genuinely funny. Best of all they know when to stop. Even though the audience went riotous over their funmaking, they cut out unnecessary encores. ILEA VINCENT AT THE PEKIN. There was almost a riot at Motts Theatre on last Friday evening, when M. Monhamer, the stalwart Turk failed to floor Ilex Vincent the Cuban born German Negro wrestler in thirty minutes. Vincent who is not as heavy as the men he meets is nevertheless a most wonderful development of muscular physical endurance. Steve Angel was the Turks manager and Harry Weber was referee. Vincent is now under the Management of Bob Motts, and is a regular Friday evening attraction. The entertainment is perfectly moral and conducted in a respectable manner and has therefore been a grand treat to ladies as well as young men. SAILED TO AFRICA SATURDAY. Rev. J. D. Gordon's wife of California, who passed through the city last week, and spent four days as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Eggleston, 3624 Vernon Ave. Mrs. Gordon who was sick the entire four days in the city was much improved when she sailed on Saturday the 28th ul. She regretted very much that they could not see old Chicago before they departed as much as they would have liked. AND A WORD FROM NEARBY TOWNS. Mayjew, Mo., Feb. 3. Mr. Pete Cole, of near Lexington was out visiting his friend, Miss M. J. Baker. Mr. William F. Bowens, of Lexington and his friend the good Miss G. Ethel Johnson was out to call on the Miss Bradford's Sunday evening. They had a pleasant time as they were all very jolly. The high tone Miss Johnson claimed that she was glad to be with the girls but O, you little' cute Bowens. Miss Mary T. Goodwin is still on the sick list. Mrs. Isadora Workcutt, of Higginsville, made the debate last Wednesday night, quite interesting. Miss Lula Divers, of Kansas City is here on the account of her mothers illness. Mr. Willie Anderson whom has been on the sick list is reported better. Miss Etella Monday is still visiting her brother Rev. Monday. CLASSIFIED COLUMN. FURNISHED ROOMS. For Rent.

Otto Kuhen Says Magnate Wanted to Girdle Earth and Also to Build Panama Canal. If E. H. Harriman had lived he would have had a railroad around the world. This was one of his great ambitions. Another was to see the completion of the Panama Canal. If the Government had not taken up the task of constructing this great waterway, he would have built it himself. These two secrets were revealed by Otto Kuhen, or Kuhen, Loeb & Co. who closely associed with Mr. Harriman. In memorial address at the finance forum, in reply to a question. Mr. Kuhen said: "Mr. Harriman did not, however, contemplate controlling the entire railroad system of the United States. He was of the opinion that a concentration of railroad power had gone about as far as it would go." 12. JAPS FIGHT HARRIMAN LINE. Make Agreement With Railway by Which There Will Be Competition on the Pacific. An agreement has been made between the Western Pacific Railroad and the Toyo Kissen Kaisha Steamship line which will establish real competition in traffic between America and Asia. Joint tariffs have been published. Hitherto the Toyo Kissen Kaisha has worked under an agreement with the Pacific Mail Company, the two steamer lines sharing the traffic brought here by transcontinental railroads. This may not interest some of our boys, but is is good to know something about these matters. Something like a bank account; it is a good thing to have and to know you have it there, so in order to keep trace of what is going on in the Railroad Center pin a money order for $1.50, made out to the Chicago Dept. of Transportation. Chicago I, or, to Mr. John R. Winston, 737 East 40th street, Chicago, Il. Phone Douglas 5222; the paper that is with the race regardless of what the knocker says. The Defender is here to stay. Get on at the station. "Toot, toot!" Mr. John R. Winston, 737 E. 40th street, is contemplating on going back into the railroad company service again, as he is an experienced railroad train porter, and he ventures to hope that from his long record as train and chair car porter, he presumes that he may be of some use to some of the many railroad companies employing Colored train por- ters. His habits of life are such as to assure regularity in the discharge of his duties, and he can only assure the railroad companies that, and should they honor him with their confidence he shall spare no pains to acquit himself to the company's satisfaction. But Mr. Winston will continue to furnish news for the Railroad Center column in the Chicago Defender. Mr. Winston may enter the service of the Erie R. R. Co. or the Santa Fe Ry. Mr. George King, 99th street and the C. R. P. Ry. tracks, a train porter in the service of the C. R. I. P. Ry. Co. is reporten to be confined his bed. The porters should never look Mr. King, as he is a gentlemanly porter. Call on George during his confinement. The Chicago Defender wishes him an early recovery. Allow me to extend my sincere thanks to Mr. M. B. Davis for his compliments to me on vice, in the issue of the Chicago Defender of Jan. 28, 1911. Hod: Martin B. Madden is trying to land an experienced railroad train portar over on the Rock Island road. The time is not ripe enough at this writing to tell or his success, but he is most likely to succeed in the route that Mr. Madden directed. Purchase Holtenton from Mr. J. R. Winston, 737 East 40th Street. Phone Douglas 5222. Mr. John W. Hightower, 37 W. 45th place, who is running to Fort Dodge, I., as trainporter in the service of the I. C. Ry. Co., has become an easy mark for the petticoats. Sorry, but the truth is delight; the hook is extended so far in his nose he is unable to get it out. A later issue will tell it all. Watch for the Defender each week, boys! When spittoon washers begin to have the big head it is time to set up and take notice. Mr. A. A. Walton, 4718 Dearborn street, is running to Ft. Dodge, Ia., in the service of the I. C. R. R. Co. as chair car porter. Walton is all right and his head never gets swelled like a certain member on the same side doing the same work. The writer of this column is going back into the service of the broadcast company and continue to write this paper, and he will be in behind the monkey porters and Uncle Tom, and end men, who are today making it hard for men who stand on their merits in securing a position. "Too much South." Brand them and send them back to the uncut timber and sage bushes and let them juggle cocoanuts with their brothers. Mr. Thomas Smith, 3157 Groveland avenue, has resigned from the Pullman Company and has purchased himself a team and is now in the express and moving business. Boys, give Brother Tom your support and remember the Chicago Defender—$1.50 a year. Mr. George T. Boggs has resigned his various offices in the several Rock Island companies and his position is filled by S. H. E. Freund and J. Gulian, except that James McLean of Gliphy Ridge and Co. elevated a director of the Chicago Railway Company. No announcement was made regarding the various other changes which were made public a week or ten days ago. Place your advertisement in the paper which has the big circulation.
