The 8th Regiment Grand Military Ball Seventh Regiment Armory Monday Evening, May 8th TRUE REFORMERS' LICENSE RENEWED Biggest Colored Order in Country Allowed to Resume Its Business. SAVED BY ITS MEMBERS. Extra Assessments Cheerfully Paid—Enormous Business Done by Organization. Special to Defender. Richmond, Va., May 6. Fifty thou-sand Negro families, scattered from New York to New Orleans, will reslieve at the announcement made yesterday by State Insurance Commission Joseph Button that he had determined to renew the license of the United Order of True Reformers, which has been suspended since last October. This order, whose troubles have been much in the public eye for many months, is the oldest and largest colored fraternal organization in the country. Following the crash of the True Reformers' Bank, involving the order in its apparent complete ruin, Commissioner Button suspended the license. The permit to do business expired on January 1, and the Insurance Bureau declined to renew it, so that it will now be necessary to issue a new license covering the remainder of the present calendar year. This will be done at once, and the solicitation of members may proceed without further interruption. Show Complete Loyalty. Considering the embarrassments of the organization, the members of the True Reformers have been loyal to it in a manner which is actually touching. They have recently raised a considerable sum of money by extra assessments, levied on themselves and cheerfully paid, which is being used in paying off the accumulated death claims. In addition, by other extra assessments, it is calculated that within a year all claims will have been paid, and the order will be again on its feet. This process will be aided by the right to secure new members which is carried with the renewal of the license. No reference is made in these calculations to the possible salvage from the True Reformers' Bank. The report of the receivers, which has long been expected, has not as yet been filed, so that the amount which the bank will save from the wreck, if any, is unknown. Should the order get anything from the assets of the banking institution, it will be the sooner in position to face the world with a balanced ledger. Changed Officers. The Grand Fountain recently met in this city in extra session, making a good many changes in officers. One of those dropped was Reuben T. Hill, the Grand Treasurer, who is now a fugitive from justice on the charge of embezzlement from the bank of which he was cashier. The various institutions—the order, the bank, the stores—should be conducted separately and without reference to each other. As it was, the funds of one were used to bolster up the others, without regard to the rights of those who had interests only in the more prosperous of the institutions. When the bank went into the hands of receivers, there was great distress and suffering among the colored people, many of whom had places in all in care of the leaders of their race who managed the True Reformers' enterprises. The bank was a favorite repository for colored churches, lodges, Sunday schools, missionary societies and organizations of this character. While the amount which will be returned to depositors is not yet known, it is believed in some quarters that it will be very small. Many Deferred Checks. At one time something like $100,000 of checks drawn by it, order to pay insurance claims, and thus wined off its books, were held up by the bank, which was not in position to pay them. After the appointment of a State Bank Examiner, he acting in conjunction with the Bureau of Insurance, discovered the real condition of affairs and the probable insolvency of all the organization's varied interests. It is presumed that the other states which have suspended the license of the True Reformers will now restore its rights, following the lead of the department in the home state. GRACE BASEBALL TEAM NOT ENCOURAGED. In the Seat of Intelligence, Where People Look to See the Young Colored Man Encouraged, We Find Disinterestedness Just as Rife as Where There Are No College Men and Women. The entertainment given by Grace Presbyterian Baseball club Monday evening was featured with a grand program. Manager Hareh of the program committee spared no pain in securing unendid talent for the acces The Chicago Defender. 1. The only criticism being; the air was not well attended. Mr. was not well attended. The young men should have recieved more encouragement from their supporters, as they have furnished furniture to them for the last four years. At the conclusion of the program the officers of the club were introduced. Lewis S. Hill, president; Eugene Renfroce, vice president; P. Maden, secretary; R. Brunston, treasurer; R. Thomason, manager; B. Irwin, captain. The program as rendered: Selection, Kenwood Orchestra; tenor solo, Mr. Charles Settles; instrumental bassoon, Mr. Charles Settles; harrison Harrison; instrumental duet, Mesdames McFarlands; remarks, captain Irwin; tenor solo, Mr. Creighton Thompson; instrumental duet, Mr. Creighton Thompson; instrumental duet, Mr. and Mrs. Tharpman THE UNIVERSITY SOCIETY AT INSTITUTIONAL. The University Society will hold its monthly meeting at Institutional Church, next Sunday afternoon, May 14th, at which time an excellent program, consisting of musical and literary numbers of a very rare quality, will be rendered. Full announcement of program will appear in next week's issue of this paper. The public is cordially invited. NEW FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH OPENED. Last Sunday the new Friendship Baptist Church was opened on Ada street, near Lake. Over 3,000 attended the opening. Over $1,500 was raised. The church cost $15,000, of which $7,500 was paid on Thursday. They have nine years to pay the rest. HARRISON EMANUEL MAKES HIT AT KIMBALL HALL. At a pupils' recital given by Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. Mandy at Kimball's hall April 26, in which rapid progress was shown to have been made by the scholars, the Musical Leader, in speaking of Harrison Emanuel spoke as Mr. Harrison Emanuel, Violinist, follows: "With a well developed technic Harrison Emanuel mastered the intricacies of the Romana (from concerto) Wienlawski, Hubay's 'Zehpyr' was satisfying in smoothness of tone. In the 'Russian Airs' by Wienlawski the young violinist exhibited poise and concentration that successfully directed his efforts." DIAMOND DUST. The Chicago Giants Are in Town. The Mutuals, Jack Lowery's crack team, will meet the Leland Giants in their second bout of the season at the White Sox park this afternoon. A grand game of ball will be played by these two teams and every lover of the sport as well as good citizens should attend, for the proceeds go to charity to assist the Dearborn center and industrial work at the Institutional church. Perhaps the greatest game of ball that will be played for sometime around these diggings will be at 69th and Halsted streets Sunday afternoon, when the Leland Giants, the world's now famous baseball club, cross bats with the contenders for last year's pennant in the City league, Chicago Giants. Both managementes are out to win and will use their best men. Cyclone Joe Williams will no doubt perform for the Chicago Giants, while the phenomenal Frank Wickware or the star beating Louis Johnson will work for the Lands. This insures a battle royal and a pitcher's duel. All lovers of the sport should be there. Go early and get a good seat and whoo it up and root for the team of your choice. Frank Wickware, the Leland's phenomenal pitcher, arrived in town last week and looks fit and ready. This makes the Leland Giants' lineup about as strong as any with such old vets as Harry Moore, Danger Talbert, Sam Strathers, Nathan Hawk and a brand new outfield of youngers constitutes an aggregation that is hard to beat and they will take care of themselves in Sunday's contest. Secretary Moseley is confident that the best team will win and that he owns it. Quick Changes. Wife—Darling, I want a new gown. Husband—But you had a new one only a short time ago. Wife—Yes, and my friend Ellen is to be married, and I can't wear the same dress I wore at her last wedding. -Ellegere Blaetter. CHICAGO, ILL.,-SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1911. PEOPLE IN TENNESSEE Will Be Treated to Rare Articles Each Week from One of Their Worthy Sons—Full Accounts of the Y. M. C. A. Movements and Other Race News. Our Commercial College and Religious Interests Will Be Discussed Each Week Through the Defender In Order that Our Sons Abroad May Read. By Wm. Brooks. Chatanoooga, Tenn., May 5.—The Sabbath, 11 a.m., at the Monumental Baptist Church, was really a high day, Rev. W. M. Moore, pastor, treated his congregation to a very soul-unfitting sermon, to which special attention was given. And they were much moved by the Spirit to do work for the religious cause. The choir sang some sweet music for this occasion. This church plans for their annual May Festival a very grand program. Mr. L. F. Kennedy, organist, is doing his best to have the program up-to-date. Rev. B. M. Dudley, pastor of Prospect Baptist Church, left the city to attend the Tennessee State Baptist Sunday School Executive Board, at Knoxville, Tenn., last week. He was the guest of Mrs. E. H. Hamilton, president of the Women's Auxiliary at the National Baptist Convention, and his stay was made pleasant, combined with the pressing problem of business. Mr. Samuel Dobbs has for many years conducted a first-class blacksmith and wheelwright shop. He is one of the oldest, colored business men in Chattanooga and this is quite a tempting field for this branch of mechanical work for this day and time. Mrs. Mary A. Thomas, the public photographer, and Miss Eva Moore entered the Civil Service examination of April 11, 1911. We are proud to note that it is in keeping with the spirit of the progress of this great age in which we live. Success awalts the faithful and persistent ones. The Chattanooga delegates of ladies who left the city to attend the Women's A. M. E. Connectional Quadrennial Convention, which convened with the St. John A. M. E. Church, Rev. P. W. Walls, D. D., pastor, Birmingham, Ala., Wednesday, April 21-30, 1911. It is with a great source of pleasure that we state that the convention was graced with the excellent presence of some of the most influential church workers in the various departments of the A. M. E. Connection of this historical city, and they all as anticipated had a most royal reception, which was combined with the great problem of the special order of business transacted. The delegates were: Mrs. A. E. Martin, Lizzie McConnell, J. M. Brown, Octavia Boens, Pinknie R. Johnson, E. L. Reid, Rev. I. H. Welch, D. D., pastor; Warren A. M. E. Church; Rev. Y. T. Moore, D. D. P. E., Chattanooga A. M. E. District. At the Second Baptist Church, Rev. J. H. Mastin, pastor, has conducted a very successful revival meeting, which has resulted in the conversion of many persons. Mr. C. C. Conroh, the tailor, has added some more attractions in his place of business, which is a fine way to increase trade. He has an excellent spring and summer style for general display. Mr. L. R. Daniel, the Budget editress of the First Baptist Church's Dunbar Literary Debating Society has distinguished himself as a social writer and produces laughter because of her merry-making news. It is said that the entire program would be incomplete should she fail to read the Budget's news, as all wait with much expectation to hear it. Mr. J. H. Ware, Harrison avenue, owns the only colored department store and keeps a large variety of goods. He recently made additional improvements which attract the attention of the public, and he is still doing a lively business. We, as the Negro race, need the attention of the young people to be turned to business. It is a great field, in which they can succeed. Yes, success is theirs. Miss Jennie C. Gillsple, a charming girl and a stenographer in the city, is the bookkeeper for Mr. G. W. Franklin, the leading undertaker of Hamilton County, Tenn. We note with a special degree of interest that the Gardner and Manning Cafe, on Harrison avenue and Willow street loop, is one of the first-class places in which, with the polite treatment, all meals are served (by these kind ladies) in the nicest way and on the quickest order. This is a move in the right direction for success in business. THE WORLD'S FIRST EMPEROR The Hon. M. T. Bailey, Chief of ChicagoGrand Fountain United Order of True Reformers, who worked so hard to help get the order back on the right track. JACK JOHNSON RETURNS WITH FLYING MACHINE. Jack Johnson returned to the city with his new flying machine. Jack will give it a try-out some time next week in Washington Park. Jack says he sees flaws already in the machine and will add new devices for safety. He is now making a parachute that will open with a spring and will hold up 1,000 pounds. BIG FIRE, 2950 STATE ST. Mrs. Bertha Webster and Mrs. A. E. Clemmons, 2950 State street, were almost trapped on Sunday night when fire broke out in the store below. They were dressing to go to church when a big explosion occurred. They ran out in their Dahomy and were forced to go into Jordan's pool room and several ladies tooned them clothes. Mrs. Webster lost $200 worth of diamonds. All her clothes were saved but got wet from water. A BEAUTIFUL MAY PARTY. The grand success of the May party, which was attended by over 500 persons, last Monday evening, given by the Sisters of the Mysterious Tens at the Masonic hall, was due to such energetic workers like Sisters Stratton, Stobal, Thomas, Richardson, Cannon, Costello and others. The following program was well rendered by: Mistress of ceremonies, Mrs. M. Thomas; solo by Dr. C. Knight; remarks by R. Hocker; solo by Prof. De Acklan; address by Rev. J. Chavis, G. M. The drill was well performed by the Sir Knights, which shows that they were well trained and disciplined. The classical pieces rendered by the soloists were well received by the audience. Rev. Chavis began his address by saying that occasions of this kind enables the Negro to keep in touch with each other and urged them to stick closer together. He loved the order because the signs, grips, pass words and other ritualistic works of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of Mysterious Tens came from the brains of the Ne- HON. M. T.

There were 27 temples attended by 1,200 Sisters of Mysterious Tens in Chicago and that the order is in a better standing today than it had been during the half century of its existence. After the program the members and visitors enjoyed the strains of the sweet music from the orchestra and freely partook of the palatable delicacies that were prepared for the evening. THINGS ABOUT DOUGLASS CENTER. The Sunday afternoon meetings at the Douglass Center closed last Sunday for the summer with an overflowing attendance. The child welfare exhibit at the Coliseum May 11 to 26 promises to be one of the greatest agencies for the instruction in the care of the young this part of the west has ever witnessed. Further notice of this important enterprise will appear in next week's paper. The social at the Douglass Center Thursday evening in honor of Mr. Dudley Crafts Watson, instructor at the Art Institute, was largely attended. Mr. Watson is a personal friend of Mr. Henry O. Tanner and has done much to encourage the young colored art students in their work. Dr. Charles E. Bentley has been ap- pointed chairman of the committee on and Milita A NEW LITERARY SOCIETY ORGANIZED Walters A. M. E. Zion Church, Corner 38th and Dearborn Streets, Rev. H. J. Callis, D. D., Pastor. Unusual interest is being manifested in the services. Last Sunday closed the general effort in the rally. $950 has been realized with a large number of pledges unpaid. On last Tuesday night a large number of persons gathered in the basement of this church who are deeply interested in the moral, intellectual and social development of our young people. They came for the purpose of organizing a literary society that will hold its meetings on Tuesday evenings instead of Sunday afternoon. Dr. Callis called the meeting to order and was made temporary chairman. After some remarks a motion prevailed for permanent organization and election of officers. The following persons were elected: President, Dr. Jas. N. Harris; vice-president, Robert W. Maxwell; secretary, Miss Jillian I. Browder; treasurer, Mrs. H. J. Callis. Enthustastic remarks were made by all the officers. About 50 names were enrolled as members, and on motion a committee of five, consisting of Mr. John Van Camp, W. J. Burdine, Miss Lillian Browder, Mrs. Ellison and Rev. H. J. Callis, were appointed on constitution and by-laws to report at the next meeting. Mr. H. David Murray was appointed temporary chairman of the program committee. The next meeting will be held next Tuesday, May 9, at 8:30. The public is cordially invited. The services Sunday will begin with the Sacrament of Baptism by immersion, at 6 a. m. The Holy Communion will be administered at 11 a. m. Sunday School at 1 p. m. Christian Endeavor at 6:30.

The Douglass Center Boys' club is enjoying their outdoor work this spring in games and other open air activities with the co-operation of their leader, Mr. Conley of Hull House. Miss Allahasie Smith, superintendent of the south side district for the Visiting Nurses' association, has resumed her duties in conducting the Douglass Center mothers' meetings. We had a very profitable time at the last meeting mostly discussing the benefits of the outing season which is soon to be here. RUFUS ESTES, NOW AN AUTHOR Writes Book on "Things Good to Eat" Mr. Rufus Estes, Intern at Appomattox Club, one of Chicago's familiar characters and one of the best known chefs of Chicago, has completed his book entitled "Good Things to Eat," which he has had under construction for more than ten years. The first book that was received from the publishers, which contained the author's autograph, was auctioned off to the highest bidder in the offices of the Illinois Steel Company, where Mr. Estes is employed. After some lively blinding, the assistant secretary of the company proved to be the highest bidder, at $11, and was the recipient of the first book.

Hampton, Va., May 5.—On April 27 the forty-third anniversary of Hampton Institute, an undenominational industrial school founded in 1868 by Samuel Chapman Armstrong for the training of race teachers and leaders, was fittingly celebrated on April 26 and 27 by interesting exercises which were held in the large school gymnasium by the senior trade class and the graduating class of the academic department. six boys were presented as candidates for academic diplomas. Interesting Program. The program included these addresses: "From the Sea to Hampton," W. H. Lampley, Raeford, N. C.; "Seven Years at Hampton," Grace D. George, Runnymede, Va.; "Industrial Training in the Rural Schools," Mrs. Sarah F. Diggs, 76, Franklin, Va.; "Mahonment: The Harvesting of the Wild Pigeon." May F. Brakke, O. Trades Display. The trade class program included several band selections, a paper on "The Value of Trade Training," a class history, a baritone solo, class and trade songs, a trades exhibit, remarks by Hampton guests, and an excell-nt class president address by Madikane Q. Cele, a Zulu prince from Natal, South Africa, who has worked his way through Hampton and become a wheel-wright. On a large, wooden, revolving platform, divided into six sections, eleven sets of Hampton tradesmen carried on their customary work in full view of the enthusiastic audience of over fifteen hundred. Some thirty out of fifty-three boys of the senior trade class were actively engaged in shingling a roof, nailing on weatherboards, house painting, fitting a coat and using a sewing machine, mending shoes, building a brick arch, applying white plastering, managing a printing press and a turning lathe, making a railroad hand truck and tiring a wheel, installing a bath tub and wilping lead joints, and making a picture frame. Visitors were thus given an opportunity of seeing how thoroughly and how practically Hampton has been training young Negroes and Indians for efficient service in mechanical and industrial pursuits. Senior Trade Class. Over one-half of the senior trade class hails from Virginia, while others come from a region bounded on the north by Pennsylvania, on the west by Arizona, on the south by Georgia and on the east by Natal, South Africa. That these students have acquired some of Hampton's missionary spirit is shown by the fact that many of the boys have visited more or less regularly the Hampton jail, the poor house, Negro cabins, and the hospital of the National Soldiers' Home, while others have taught Sunday school and assisted in making life more comfortable for the old people of the Hampton neighborhood. The average age is twenty years and nine months. Forty of the class plan to return next fall and enter the Hampton day school, seven will return for special work in the night school, and three plan to become journeymen without further school training. Possibilities of Hampton. Robert C. Ogden, president of the Hampton board of trustees, declared at an informal conference, which Dr. Frissell called for the discussion of Negro education in the South, (1) that substantially nothing has been added to the philosophy of industrial education beyond that which General Armstrong formulated; (2) that Hampton is doing more for the future peace and prosperity of this country than any one institution in the country, and (3) that an endowment of ten million dollars would make it possible for Hampton to train annually two thousand students instead of less than nine hundred. Anniversary Day. The Hampton anniversary was brought to a fitting close today with public exercises in the gymnasium. Addresses were made by three members of the senior academic class, two graduates of Hampton, and several visitors. The great student chorus, led by Major R. R. Moton, commandant of cadets and a well known race leader, sang several Negro "spirituals" with "magnificent shadings," to quote the appreciation of Mr. Loudon, minister from The Netherlands. Mr. Ogden presented to the Hampton board of trustees the candidates for certificates and diplomas. Candidates for certificates may be classified as follows: Agriculture, 12; blacksmiths, 3; bricklayers, 10; business, 2; cabinetmakers, 2; carpenters, 9; library methods, 1; machinist, 1; painters, 2; printer, 1; sheemakers, 3; steamfitters, 4; tailors, 6; wheelwrights, 5; total, 65. The candidates for special diplomas included three in home economics and one in manual training.

H. Lampley, Racford, N. C.; "Seven Years at Hampton," Grace D. George, Runnymede, Va.; "Industrial Training in the Rural Schools," Mrs. Sarah F. Diggs, "76, Franklin, Va.; "Mahnomen: The Harvesting of the Wild Rice," Mary E. Broker, a Chippewa Indian, Ponsford, Minn.; "Getting and Spreading the Hampton Thought," H. A. Johns, "08, Harrisonburg, Va. Mrs. Charles W. Ide, of Brooklyn, N. Y., conceived and proposed the plan of organizing a "Special Hampton Trip in Honor of Robert C. Ogden." For many years Mr. Ogden has brought a large party to see the work of Hampton. This year he has been the guest of honor. Mr. Ogden said to the Hampton students: "You go out as the forty-first battalion in the line of soldiers who are to fight the battle against ignorance and prejudice and against all the evils that tie down the human race." Addresses were made at the trade exercises by Dr. Frissell, Dr. William J. Schieffelin, president of the New York Armstrong Association, Mr. Ogden, Rev. Charles E. Parks, First Unitarian church, Boston, and Dr. Walter H. Page, editor of the "World's Work." On Anniversary Day, Mr. Ogden, Lord Eustace Percy, of the British embassy, Washington, D. C., Minister Loudon, Washington, D. C., Dr. Wilton M. Smith, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church, New York, and Hon. Job Hedges, of New York, spoke to the Hampton school. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY CLUB. Everything is moving along nicely. We still receive more bills than money but are hoping for better days. They will come. Mr. Tilman of Y. M. C. A. fame sent us a check for five dollars. We express our thanks to him for his donation and hope some other kind friends will do likewise. We always need money to carry on our work. The house committee are expecting a large crowd next Wednesday evening, May 10, at 5259 Dearborn street. The "Victoria recital" under the management of Mr. Frank L. Gale promises to be very entertaining. All who can are invited to come and enjoy it, musically and socially. A real teller will be there to tell you of your future prospects. Come early —8:30 the program begins. If it rains, come anyway. The paintings of Mr. Robert Jackson are on exhibition at the home and were much admired by us. The poems also were enjoyed, especially the one entitled "Race Prejudice." Mrs. Elva Jenifer's description of her travels through the west was greatly enjoyed and her story is to be continued at another time. The duet by Mrs. Pettis and Miss Jones was greatly appreciated and also the contralto by Miss Mayme Davis. Those who were not present missed an excellent program. Next is the Industrial section. A committee of ladies will be appointed at the next board meeting to look after the matron's salary. She is proving an excellent help to us in many ways and the home is being greatly benefited by her helpfulness. The house committee has taken the heaviest end of the work but the ladies who form that committee are all good hustlers and will not leave any stone unturned to put the home in the proper home life condition. It will take money and they are asking for donations from all their friends for this purpose. Mrs. Jessie Johnson, 3026 Vernon avenue, will receive any contributions for that purpose. No matter how small or large, it will be thankfully received. Mrs. Davis leaves for Du Quoil, Ill., and other cities in interest of the state work. Mrs. William Fischer will preside during her absence. We received a pair of sheets from Mrs. Lyman of the Douglass Center. We are very thankful to her for them as all such things are always needed. We were pleased to have Mrs. Clayborne with us; also Dr. Mary Waring. We hope to see them often. The man who lives twice as fast as he should is apt to butt into something.

As she splashed a bell rang. "My goodness!" she moaned. It rang again peremptorily, and finally some one pounded on the front door. “Well, you just pound!” she mut- tered, hysterically. “The idea!” A little later she opened the door and stared upon the vacant hall Searching for @ clue. There was no clue, “Who on earth could that have been?” she asked heraelf. “Mercy—tt's after ten o'clock!" As she was making coffee a bell rang and it sounded Ike the one downstairs.

All Up-to-Date Hotel News and News of Bell Hops. By S. Adams, | Here's good news! The cafe men- tioned in last week’s.tasue of the “De. fender,” as contemplating a change of waiters did not make the change, but they did add white waiters to thelr colored crew, to thelr (the manage- ment’s) sorrow. The white boys re mained two days and were then in- formed that their services were no longer required. As the reporter bas often stated, close application. to dutles, proficiency and efficiency are stepping stones to greatne’s in all vocations. The name of the cafe is, The “Princeton Inn,” formerly The “Prince. ton Cafe.” Mr, David R. Gibson, who is and has been head walter at the “Princeton” for several years, retains his position, much to the delight of his crew of waiters, he being the right man in the right place, and the:best of all, his sense of the fitness of things is such that under all circumstances he re- mains cool and praetical. Messrs. Wm. M. Butler and Thomas Wells, as cap: tains at the above mentioned cafe, have been identified there for 10 years. One need not eutogize these men, as thelr long service is sufficient recom: mendation. The crew of waiters are second to noné and the superior of the majority. Because a woman employed at his hotel worked more tnan sixty hours week, N. K, Clarke, proprietor of the Seward Hotel, Portland, Ore. yas fined $25 recently. When we realize how many hotels throughout the country work thelr waiters all day and then foree them back to wait banquets at night, with- out any extra compensation, we will apoland thie woman to the echo ond say: “Go thou and do likewise.” | ‘The Canailian Pacif Railway com pany has purchased property opposite the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, and will erect on it a big hotel, Bullding operations Will be started as soon as the present occupant of the site, a de- partment store, finds a home’ else- where, Palmer House Wins. | The following ense, of general Inter est to inn-keepers, was recently tried in the Muntcipat Court of Chicago be fore Judge Walker. Jacob Brody sued the Palmer House of Chicago to recover the value of ¢ fur coat stolen from his room while he was a guest of that hotel. On behalf of the hotel it was shown that he was a traveling man, that he engaged a room in the hotel with the privilege of displaying his samples therein; that he had in bis room a number of such coats which he dis played therein to his customers. The coat lost was not a part of his wear ing apparel but was one of the sample coats. ‘The court held that the liability of an inn-keeper to a guest did not ex tend to merchandise brought into his room for display or sale and in the absence of proof of culpable negit gence the inn-keeper was not lable and judgment was entered for the defendant for costs. John G. Everett was attorney for the hotel. Such are the technicalities of the law! Following the victory of the “wets” in the recent prohibition election at Phoenix, Ariz., work has been resumed on the construction of the Adams Ho tel.

How impatient he had felt even of the rare letters she had sent his father directed In her easy, gon- erous hand, with the T's never crossed! Yet she made them extreme- ly comfortable in her tiny home, and he felt a genuine fondness for the simple, cheery little woman now. Stilt, the loneliness and the longing would rejurn, when he felt he must draw a breath of pure, pine-scented air, and tramp again over the sprout- ing grass and the rough hillsides, “My body is down here In the nolse and smoke,” he spoke @loud, almost bitterly. “But my heart ts up there tn the hills!" A slow blush flooded his face,: and his eyes traveled reluctantly to the square white house across the river.

SAVED FLOCK IN BLIZZARD Aged Wyoming Shepherd Followed ‘Sheep for Five Days Without Food ao Pia, Five days in a snowstorm, without food, fire, rest or sleep, Wililam Me- Cormick, a sixty-yeac-old sheep herd- er, arrived at the Murdock camp, Wyoming, in a deplorable condition, but stifl guarding the three thousand sheep with which te had left the camp. His collie dog underwent sim!- Jar hardships, but assisted him im bringing the flock back to the corral. MeCormick 1s employed by George Murdock, a prominent sheepman. Murdock’s sheep range over the great "Red Desen,,” which, instead of being a desert, 1s one of the finest sheep ranges in the world. While out fn this great plain MeCormick and bis vig herd of three thousand sheep were overtaken by a howling blizzard of wind, snow and sleet. As 1s usual during such storms, the sheep immedi- ately turned their tails to the wind and drifted with the storm, despite the efforts of MeCormick and his dog to prevent the animals from going too far from thelr range! For three days tho band drifted, the herder and dog trying all the time to etop the animals, whleh moved slowly In a great body before the wind. MCormick had no food with him, and"there was no way to cook it even had he been supplied. On the open prairle he was unable to procure any inflammable substance. He dared not Ye down to rest or sleep for fear of losing bis sheep as well as from fear of being frozen to death. On the evening of the third day the storm abated and the sheep came to a standstill, many miles from water or range. MeCormick knew his life de- bended absolutely upon his ability to Teach camp, and although now :bree days without food, water, fre or Test, he started on the return 'trip, driving hie sheep before tim. At the end of another two days the aged sheep herd: oF arrived at the camp and was taken 1a charge by his companions. During the five days he had sucked anow tor water and had gone entirely without food, rest, sleep or fire. His face, hands and feet were frozen. Sur- geons report that he will live. About ono thousand of the sheep Were miasing, but these were rounded up by other employes and brought to eamp. McCormick's feat Is looked upon as one of the most extraordi- nary Instances of endurance ever known in Wyoming. Postal Banks In France.

These accounts, including Interest due depositors, amounted to $9,187,116, the average sum of the de- Dosits belng $43.41. On December 31, 1909, the latest year for which com- plete statistics are available, the num. ber of banks had increased by nearly 2,000, the deposit accounts numbered 6,542,882, and the deposits, including interest, represented an aggrezate amount of $316,156.86, averaging $57.08. ‘The expenses of administration dur- ing 1900 amounted to $1,504,678, and the net profits to $526,786. It may be recalled that individual accounts are limited by Isw to 1,500 francs ($289.60). When an account exceeds this the surplus 1s invested by the bank in national bonds. The total value of the bonds purchased in 1909 was $2,080,575. The withdrawals, in- cluding these purchases, amounted to $104,916,160. ‘eesti Shain Caiiadiaa rs: there can be no more impressive sight than a straining Ine of wild geese moving in the clear alr with steady strokes, their rigid necks point- tng to their northern summer home, their outlines slowly diminishing un- Ul, as a row of floating dots, they van- fsh In the uncertain distance.

Speaking before the American Phys- foal Education association in Boston Prof. Jobn M, Tyler of Amherst col- lege warned his hearers emphatically against allowing girls from ten to iif tean years of age to over-exercise, ham- mering his ideas home with thls goin- tillating nugget of philosophy: “Too much of nothing Is good.” ‘That may be true {n Boston, per haps the less of its greatest notoriety seeking product tho better; but we hope the professor won't seek to apply his self-reversible theory to Johnny Mecban’s Park row doughnuts, nor yet to our debtors’ bani balance. ‘Which reminds us of the old word play: “It rains or st does not rain. ‘There- foro, tf it does not rain, it rains.” ‘The Sun once called this a “logteal fallacy of reciprocation of mutually ex- clusive terms.” ‘That's just what Professor Tyler's nugget ts, a fallacy.

An athletic program, Including an exhibition football game and feats of strength, was held one night recently in the smoking room of the White Star liner Adriatic; at least so some of the passengers reported, declaring that somo of the feate of strength con- sisted in lifting chairs up by the roots and hauling doors from thelr binges. At least one door was missing from its place in mute evidence of the keen sport. ‘One of the most successful compett- tors in the smoke room games was a famous Princeton athlete who once Kicked a fleld goal for his tem just fn time'to beat out old Ell. No official score of the games was kept except by the chief steward, who presented his iil next morning. CRUELTY ‘TO CHILDREN FANTASTIC NAMES FOR BABIES ARE NOT UNCOMMON, Robert New's Sone Were Nothing and Something —. Governor Hogg"s Daughter te tma—Millione Retige rein One te rea, Naming the baby 1s in. most fam: Mes, quile properly, a serlous atfalr, in which every member {s interested. No name can be too veautiful, too poetle, too melodious, for that small, pink-faced person to bear through life; no name can bo associated with too iMlustrtous a personage of history, too fascinating a character in ro mance, From the great G. W. and King Arthur downward, baby 1s good enough to be anybody's namesake, Such {s the usual attitude of par ents, with whfch the world sympathizer while {t smiles. Nevertheless, it ts surprising to what names, and con: Junetions of names, reckless or eruclly Jocular parents will condema thelr children. English records of recent years reveal that Robert New named hls two sons Nothing and Something Mr. Mixer, Mr. Peel and Mr, Codd named thelr respective bables Pep. per, Lemon and Salt; while Mr. Ware's little girl became China and Mr. Gentle's Always. ‘An appeal for legul change of name allowed the general publie to learn that the brothers Pigg bore the Chris tlan names Black, Brown, Gay and Guinney! Their request, it 1s need Jesa to say, was promptly xranted. The unfortunate twins Sudden Death and Jolly Death showed a yet further abuse of parental privilege in thel cognomens: but they did not chang them. Practical Joking at the expense o! helpless infants 1s certainly unpardon able. Tt ts sald to be less rare in thi country than across the water, al though James S.

An extraordinary Instance of the be stowal of striking names upon a whol family of ten children was reportes recently. Mr. and Mrs, Milllon o Oregon could never, tt seems, quite agree ypon names enttrely satisfac tory {o both, so as a matter of con ventence they had resorted to num bers, The offictal of a finanetal concert says that when the names of sub scribers to the bond tse proposed by that concern were sent in one was that of Ten Mlilion, It was naturally supposed (o be an assumed name, and a letter was sent to the address given rather sharply stating that bonds could be registered in real names only and that no further attention would be pald to his subscription unless he gave ts real name, An explanatory note was soon re colved froin Mr. Millon, written upon paper bearing the printed letterhead of a firm of Million & Mililon, relterat ing his own name, and adding those of his brothers and sisters. One, Two ‘Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven (il partner), and the rest.” As the Mil Yion ebiidren—that fs, as the ten Mil Mon—at least, as the ten children 3 the name of Million grew up—most o them, he admitted, had modified thel numeral prefixes: the Misses One and ‘Three Million, for example, becoming Una and Trio, while Ten himself was commonly known ae Tenis. Legally however, his name stil remained un changed; and in the eyes of the lav ho was Ten Million, Lawyera on Top.

FOSTER MUSIC GOMPANY 3025 STATE ST., CHICAGO, ILL, SYLVESTER RUSSELL. Pekin Stock Company at the Globe in The Lime Kiln Club. Robert T. Mott's Pekin Stock company opened an engagement at the Globe theater Monday evening, May 1, to an exceptionally large audience, in "The Lime Klin Club," a farce comedy by Jesse A. Shipp, originally produced at the Pekin theater but elaborated to three acts by the author for the present engagement, with music arranged by George Bailey. The first act presented is a combination of domestic life and military scenes, which lead up to the social session of a society which depicted the comedy humor characteristic of Negro life in organizations. Allee Gillam, distinguished by legitimate cleverness, wit and humor, was the one comedian of the evening in whom most attention was centered. Charles Gilpin as Glia-dam Jones was a close second, and exhibited a like amount of skill especially as an actor, but whose comedy was good. Billy Harper, a new member of the company, was a most excellent actor as Bro. Gardner, his comedy work and aplaid makeup being an important addition to his success. Jimmy Brown as Napoleon Shrewbury was fourth in rank of the comedy element by reason of his small feature, Mrs. Hattle Moistnosh as Mrs. Skimmerhorn was a most effective actress and led charm to every scene in which she appeared. The singing numbers were all in capable hands. "That Minor Strain" by Miss Sunny Wise and chorus was well received, a tenor solo by Clarence Tisdale, who was in good voice, a Spanish rag by Miss Lottie Grady, unusually well sung, and "Way Down in Georgia Land" by Will C. Elkins, a highly cultured baritone-bass singer. Here an ensemble song, "My Hero," sang by Fanny Wise and chorus, in which she took the obligate in the finale received a grand ovation. Miss Marle Burton for some reason sang the time worn "Some of These Days," which showed that she has improved in stage craft.

Knox, who has traveled throughout Europe, spending four years abroad, also worked with the Rufus Rastus Company as prima donna, is making a decided hit in Chicago. She has a 15 weeks' engagement and her books are full of dates, to fill was in fine voice, and the choruses were all good but rendered a little too rapid. Adah Banks in "Senor" and one other song, made the best showing in soubret work for which she was enced. Maggie Davis, Daisy and Gertie Brown in a topical song ditty with Gilliam and Glipin made a distinct hit, as did the two comedians in a burlesque drill. Billy Johnson, who was another capable and entertaining actor was equally desirable in "Land of Harmony," the final number. Others in the cast were Misses Katie Jones, Ethel Marlowe and Lulu Miller, Messrs. Coleman, Mitchell, Small and others. The Pekin orchestra contributed the music and the costumes and scenery were satisfactory. Sam J. Corker, Jr., is acting manager of the company for Mr. Motts. It is understood that this company will probably remain at the Globe. / The Lone Bert Murphy and a Good Bill at the New Grand. The New Grand theater opened the week with a strong show that gave every evidence of strength enough to combat against all other opposition. Bert Murphy, now a lone vaudevillian, and with a heavy cold, appeared in a new specialty which met with immediate favor. All his songs and sayings were new, including his clothes, which were made to order at great expense. What made a hit was Murphy's original song of songs, which together with his aptitude and dancing places him as foremost in his line. Miss Lizzie Wallace made her first appearance at this house and made a dashing and dazzling picture in her artistic song reading and step dancing. Her most attractive number was a Mexican dance that she is featuring this season with her new special music and it made a hit. The Dahomian trio was another strong act which gave a great amount of pleasure in comedy singing and dancing but what is remarkable about these boys is that they are very good musicians and they created an unproar of laughter during their stay upon the stage. James and Marie Bailey, who opened the bill with a neat flirtation scene, were given a good reception. Mr. Bailey is not only one of the smartest steppers of the George Walker style but his dancing and reversal turn in "That's Why They Call Me Shine" can not be duplicated. Scott and Crosby were passably good. Of the two white acts Colton & Darrow were fair but Sam Lebert, a Hebrew actor, in "The End of the World," was one of the best playlets that has yet appeared at the Grand. Mr. Lebert is an artist and a star in his line of work and was ably supported by Nina Cole and Louis Ross. The Williams Plano Recital. The Williams Piano Recital. On Tuesday evening, May 2, Miss Bertha M. L. Williams, a pupil of de Lewinski, appeared in a piano recital at Music hall in the Fine Arts building on Michigan avenue. Two-thirds of the program—which I saw before leaving to attend another affair—of which Beethoven's Sonata Patheticque; Valse de Concert; Caprice Epagnole by Moszkowski and Chopin's Nocturno op. 37 No. 2 were highly available and plensing. Miss Williams as a pianist is hardly yet schooled to a place of practical assurance in the higher grade of art but if she had the same amount of schooling as Miss Harrison she would no doubt be her superior. Allowing for nervousness in her first attempt, it must be said that Miss Williams should become a great pianist. She not only plays with a warmth of feeling but her interpretation of harmony is especially magnetic in temperament. Her approach into fortissimo was weak but met with spasmatic intelligence and diminutive discretion. Contrary to the rule her right hand fingering was stiff but fell little short of measures allotted. Miss Williams is to go abroad and greater things of her can later be expected. The recital, which was under the management of Samuel B. Garton, accounted for most of the audience being white. Even if Miss Williams has no big reputation it was 1. The image contains a black-and-white photograph of a person with a serious expression, looking directly at the camera. The background is blurred, but it appears to be an outdoor setting with trees and possibly a building. The person's face is clearly visible, and they seem to be in a contemplative or serious mood. just as soon as the former is completed. Her appearance on the stroll was a decided hit and had to make a return date at the Grand.

The Garner Song Recital at Olivet. In a song recital at Olivet Baptist church last Monday evening, George R. Garner, Jr., a young baritone-tenor, made his initial bow in a special program assisted by Charles Elgar, violinist. The lecture room was filled with a friendly natured audience, which added charm to the entertainment. I ran in at a late hour to hear two numbers by each artist. I heard Mr. Garner in an oratorio early in the season. Since that time he has improved both in art and method. He is a robust baritone-tenor with a voice of sympathy and sweetness. His chief fault is that he makes a rash attack at his upper notes and he will first have to acquire the art of embellishment in order to preserve the breaking in his upper register which he frequently forces; for he must remember that the method of high soft falcetto notes never establishes greatness. A. Charles Elgar was heard to good advantage. While Mr. Elgar can be termed a good violinist from an artistic standpoint in execution and symphonic passages, he has an ear that is wofully defective from a technical degree of tone deviation, a fault which often lies in falling to ```markdown ``` properly tune the instrument or in the instrument itself. Miss Marion E. Garner was a remarkably good accompanist and partly shared honors with the two artists. Mr. Garner appears next at Frank P. George's "Danabagay," Decoration eve, May 29. A Fine Show at the Monogram. It would be hard to pick out the star number of three teams appearing at the Monogram this week. Simms and Thompson can claim to have got 'em if we are to judge from the good returns they got for a highly legitimate act that will take in any play house and bring them credit. Joe Simms can be safely put down as a progressive performer, which of course gives him a long lease and a mortgage on State street. Billy B. Johnson and his pretty wife, Leonce, also demonstrated that they got 'em and they did. Their singing and their dancing was also done in true legitimate style and they won several encores. Elvira Johnson, with a new partner, Miss Roper, was a splendid singing and dancing number which attracted attention. They were excellent dresses and were heavily enforced. Lew La Mar, whose monologue was raw but whose singing was good, was also on the bill. Fairfax & Hurd, with a pick, opened May 4 at the Imperial theater. Their engagements at Milwaukee, Wis., were reported successful. S. H. Lane and the following people are with the Dixie minstrels of Gentry brothers' show: Fred Garland and wife, Luvinia Ellison, E.

Two Selections Refreshments House Built From One Tree The town of Elma, Wash., in the midst of the great fir timber belt on the west slope of the Cascade mountains presents a unique feature in the form of a two-story house, containing 14 rooms, built entirely of the timber from a single fir. This tree was a giant Douglas fir, and was felled west of Elma. It was wonderfully straight, and when scaled was found to contain 40,000 feet of serviceable timber. The tree was cut into six logs, the first or butt being 28 feet in length. Inside the bark the stump measured seven feet and nine inches in diameter. The distance to the first limb of this tree was 100 feet, and the total height of the tree was over 300 feet. At the standard then prevailing—$25 a thousand—the lumber in this tree was worth more than $1,000.—Harper's Weekly. Good Excuse. "Why ain't you at school, little boy?"

The Sporting World Odd Fellows' hall was the scene of a heavyweight wrestling match which took place on the evening of April 29 between Illa Vincent, now styled by American newspapers as the Cuban star, and Henri Seeford, Canada's strongest man and wrestler. Vincent won both falls by a reverse bar arm hold, the first in 45 minutes and 30 seconds and the second in 12 minutes and 20 seconds. Samson, the German Hercules, weighing 270 pounds, threw Weber, the rough house German, in 5 minutes and the "Mysterious Ice Man" in 15 minutes. The first match was refereed by Bennie Smith, whose nervous tension created unrest in spite of his youthful popularity. The Vincent-Seeford match was refereed by Will Watkins. Jack Johnson, who had secured one-half a row of front seats, failed to show up. Steve Angel, an importer of foreign wrestlers, in his effort to get William Demetral, the Greek wrestler beaten, wants to match Illa Vincent against Demetral and offers the latter a side wager of $500 on the general result, the match to be to a finish. Vincent recently challenged Demetral at the big Coliseum match April 24. It has been secretly reported that Jack Johnson did not actually serve time as a common prisoner. The news which has been carefully secreted from the public and guarded from the newspapers was conveyed to a member of the National Negro Press Association by a railroad porter who runs from Chicago to the Pacific coast but this was later denied as the man who delivered the news was not a porter. Johnson, who was said to be secluded, had to report daily at certain hours, and this accounts for why the famous pugilist is now looking so healthy. But Johnson is said to have been denied his Easter dinner. Jack's Easter Dinner. I missed my Easter dinner, Nice boiled eggs and some liver, That early Easter morn; I missed my big car flyer, My freedom and my "honey" Why did I ever roar? Why did I ever roar? That judge, the dogged liar. Refused to take my money; I longed to be back home; Where Easter meals come higher. Sylvester, Russell Sylvester Russell. There were two draws at the wrestling match at Odd Fellows' hall on Wednesday evening, Vincent and Schultz, the German navy champion, and two middleweight fighters, wrestled; they were Will Walkins and Respress. The performance was interrupted by a mysterious wrestler wearing a black mask who appeared on the scene to challenge Vincent but received no recognition. Just Cause for Anger tinger. "Mrs. Tinnmore is so angry with her dentist she vows she will never pay his bill," says the neighbor. "Why in the world?" asks the caller. "Well, she got him to put in a bridge for her, and she complained to him that it did not feel right, but he said it was all right and would not be noticed when she got used to it; and so she kept it, of course, although it seemed to make it hard for her to talk—kind of made her voice thick, you know. And yesterday she called up Mr. Tinnmore and asked him to bring home some shoes and shirts for their little boys, and Mr. Tinnmore kept her repeating it over and over to him the longest time, until he thought he knew what she wanted. And what do you suppose he brought home? A bottle of soothing stuup!"—Judge. Stepography 2,000 Years Ago It seems incredible, but it can be proved, already in the olden times there were stenographers who took down the speeches made in the Roman senate or in public.

It is with much regret that we announce the sudden death of Mr. C. E. Henley, the U. S. Mail Carrier, who for some time has been seriously ill and confined to his bed. He died Saturday, April 22, 1911, at 3 a.m, aged 38 years. At one time he was a public school teacher. In this profession he was ambitious as an educator. He attained much proficiency and he was retained as a teacher until he resigned to enter the U. S. service, which position he held until he fell a victim to the grim monster, Death, to which we all, as human, are subject. His remains were taken to Morgansville, Tenn., for interment. He leaves a host of friends to shed most sympathizing tears with his beloved family circle and relatives. But we all how to the will of our Maker, who doeth all things for the best for the human family. Peace be to his ashes. What Mother Goose Missed Mother Goose was in a high state of indignation.

Still under emotional stress, she sat down and dashed off that immortal lyric beginning, "Sing a song of sixpence. Pocket full o' rye!" Really Hard Luck. Four men were sympathetic with each other at an uptown hotel, according to the New York Sun. They were employees pretty well up on the staff list and two of them were assistant managers. They had indorsed checks for acquaintances that they supposed were all right, and, according to the rule, had to make good. "I'm worse stuck than any of you," said the chief engineer. "The check I got stuck on was for $114 and the man who signed it is in jail."

A visitor to the jail in a New England city was much impressed by the manners of the few prisoners. "They seem so gentle and so polite," she said. "I knew there were no hardened criminals here, but I was not prepared for such courteous, even cordial receptions." "Oh, they're cordial and courteous, all right," said the jailer, "but I'd rather have less manners, myself." "You would!" and the visitor was evidently shocked. "I would, ma'm," repented the jailer. "Six months ago one of the politest men I had here escaped one night, and left a note for me saying, I trust you will pardon me for the liberty I take." Were Not on His List The late Rev. Horatio Stebbins of San Francisco was a man of large mind and noble powers, but more familiar with the world of intellectual and scholastic interests than with trivial and timely things. His household was blessed with a charming daughter, who grew up tall and beautiful, commanding the admiration of all who saw her. One day a visitor said to the good doctor: "Doctor, your daughter grows more charming day by day. Why, she's a regular Gibson girl." "Ah, thank you, thank you," replied the doctor in his best manner. When the visitor had gone, turning to his wife the doctor asked: "My dear, who are the Gibbons?"—Cleveland Leader. Washing and Microbes Sir Almroth Wright in a recent London lecture said: "There is a belief that by washing people wash off the microbes. We do take off a certain amount of microbes, but we also destroy the protective skin, which is all around our bodies like the tiles of a house. When one has a horny hand no microbe can ever get near the skin. A great deal of washing increases the microbes of the skin, so I do not think cleanliness is to be recommended as a hygienic method." And this from the land of the morning cold tub. Frightened to Death A man died at Hanley, England, under curious circumstances lately. While a boiler was being stocked at the Deep Pit, two loud explosions took place. They were caused by the automatic opening of a valve, but Samuel Raybould, one of the stokers, exclaimed: "That's frightened me to death." and, falling, he instantly expired.

Life STAR BALL PLAYER IS SPEED DEMON TY COBRA Ty Cobb, champion batsman of the American league for the season of 1910 and star outfielder with the Detroit Tigers, wears the smile of a speed demon as he sits at the wheel of a big racing car at the Indianapolis motor speedway. Cobb made several fast drives while he was at Indianapolis recently and proved beyond a doubt that he can handle an automobile wheel as well as a baseball bat. So Saya "Young Griffo" Who Saw Chi cage. A man of the Eugland, in New York. A gray-haired, sturdy-looking fellow was introduced to the crowd at a local boxing club the other night as "the greatest lightweight boxer ever known." Before his name was announced veteran ring followers recognized Albert Griffiths, better known as Young Griffo, of Australia, who has traveled a rocky road since his retirement from the ring a dozen years ago. Griffo is taking some care of his health nowadays and hasn't tasted toxicants for more than a year. Griffo saw packey McFarland trim Owen Moran and was enthusiastic over the wonderful little Chicago fighter. "McFarland is about the fastest man I've ever seen," exclaimed the Australian after the bout. "He's got a great head and knows more about real boxing than any of the lightweights of Sports Packey McFarland. the present day. The strongest point I noticed was his speedy footwork. He was all over the ring, in and out, and he would have puzzled any man. I am sure that Packey would have held his own with the lightweights I used to box. That is to say, he would have outpointed a lot of them and would have stalled on the others. "I remember Kid Lavigne when he was champion. I boxed a twenty-five round draw with him once and had no trouble in blocking his attack. But Lavigne wasn't as fast as McFarland in getting around the ring. He rushed all the time and tried to land a knockout blow, paying very little attention to the defensive part of the game. He never could be called a boxer, and in the case of Frank Erne, who won the title from him, I believe Lavigne's defeat was due to this reason. Erne was a first-class boxer, but he wasn't a hard hitter, not so hard as McFarland, and Packey cannot be called a slugger." JENNINGS HAS ORANGE BUG Leader of Detroit Tigers Wants t Join Manager Chance in Cali- ifornia Fruit Grove. Hugh Jennings is planning to become an orange man. Part of the honeymoon of Mr. and Mrs. Jennings was spent in the orange country of California. Both were struck by the chance for profitable investment there. They have been talking about it since and on the team's recent visit to New Orleans Jennings had several long talks with Frank Chance, manager of the Chicago Cubs, who is a native California and an orange grower himself. As a result Chance has a commission from Jennings to pick out an orange grove and communicate with him some time next winter. Hughle has about come to the conclusion that so long as he remains in baseball during the summer it will be impossible for him to establish a law practice in the winter. The orange grove offers a pleasant winter home with promises of considerable returns later on when he may desire to devote to it his entire attention. Series of "Don'ts" That May Be Applied to Rooters of All Classes in Any City. With the baseball pennant races finally cut loose the fans in every city and town that is represented by teams of diamond experts are ready for another strenuous campaign. The baseball solos have framed many rules governing the national pastime, but they have never seen fit to give words of advice to the rooters who keep the sport alive with the money passed into the box office windows. Fandom includes all classes of citizens and in order to keep them in check the following warnings have been framed by a person who knows something about the unbridled enthusiasm of those who follow the fortunes of their favorite teams: Don't roast players for making errors. Don't shout words of advice to the players. Don't pan the manager when his team loses. Don't try to climb over the fence with new clothes on. Don't go home angry in the hour of defeat. Laugh and be merry. Don't eat more than six bags of peanuts unless your team is losing. Don't elbow your neighbor and step on his corns unless he's a cripple. Don't try to explain the game to a woman while other men are listening. Don't indulge in open abuse of visiting players so that they can get at you. Don't call the umbrella a robber because you hear others applying this name. Don't pan the team when the manager's errors of judgment are to blame. Don't pocket foul balls while the sleuths are looking squarely in your direction. Don't try to score a game unless you know the difference between a run and an error. Don't put the lighted end of a cigar into your mouth when your favorite knocks out a four bagger. Don't throw cushions or pop bottles at the umbrella or the visiting players unless you are hidden from view. Don't try to identify the players for the benefit of the unsophisticated unless you are absolutely sure of your ground. Don't root for the visiting team unless you are isolated in the grandstand and you can't speak above a whisper. Don't show how little you know about inside ball by telling your neighbor why such and such a play didn't go through. Don't cheer and throw your hat in the air when a home player knocks the ball over the fence a foot outside the foul line. Don't throw newspapers or other missiles at persons who come in late and can't find seats unless they are small and timid. Don't roast the umbrella when he calls a strike on a ball that passes over the middle of the plate and retires your hero to the bench. Notre Dame Steps to Coach Dame star to Coach. Howard Edwards, captain and tackle on the Notre Dame western champion football team of 1903, will coach the University of West Virginia squad this year. "Rosy" Dolan, all-western guard the same year, will coach Oregon university again this fall. "Red" Miller will coach Creighton university next year. Two more baseball games have been added to the Notre Dame baseball schedule.

C., June Harwood Not to Row News A change in the schedule for the Harvard crew is under consideration. It is proposed to drop the race with Annapolis and row Cornell six instead of four weeks before the Yale race. The new plan has the advantage of allowing the coaches to make the Cornell contest an end in itself. Americans Win at Oxford. Two Rhodes scholars from the United States won events in the concluding program of the Oxford varsity annual sports the other day. R. Lange, from Oklahoma, won the 100 yard dash in 110, and W. A. Ziegler of Iowa the weight contest, with a throw of 39 feet 9 inches. KEPT STARS OFF THE STAGE Honua Wagner Spurned Tempting Offer to Perform at Last Moment —Batting Act All Ready. Larry Lajoie almost went into vaudeville last fall. He was willing and anxious, so anxious that he tried to induce Hans Wagner to go on the stage with him. Hans promised, and then backed out, and thereby hangs a tale. Bill Gray, a New York theatrical manager, had a batting act for Larry, Wagner, Cobb and Collins. He had a machine that tested the speed of a ball off the bat. A ball was thrown up automatically in front of the batter, who hit it toward a target. Accuracy in batting the target and the speed of the ball was shown. There was to be nightly batting contests between the four big stars. Here is the tale of Hans' promise and refusal to be an actor as told by Larry: Gray and I went to Carnegie to line up Hans. He had promised Gray to go on the stage, but did not answer Gray's letters and telegrams. Everybody in Carnegie knew Hans, but they never saw him. "We ran across Hans' brother Al and asked him when Hans would be home. 'Pretty soon,' said Al. 'He never stays out after dark.' "Hans came—just at dusk—muddy and in old clothes, fresh from the chase. He was tickled to see us and accepted Grudy's offer, which was $500 a week for him, $25 a week and traveling expenses for his brother Al, whom Hans wanted as his companion on the road. "It was all fixed, Gray and I thought. A contract was left with Hans, which he was to sign and send to me. "Hans was a little shy about signing to be an actor until Gray told him Honus Wagner. all he would have to do was walk on the stage, his bat in one hand and his cap in the other. 'When the people applaud, take off your cap,' said Gray. 'Then take your bat and hit the ball a half dozen times.' "Four days later I got a letter from Hans. It read: "Dear Larry: I'd like to take up your offer, but I can't stand traveling. It makes me ill." "And he never replied to my telegrams and letters." AROUND THE BASES Baseball started after the golfers, anyway. Count that day lost when Fred Clarke does not get a hit. What's the use of having boxing so long as we are allowed baseball? They call Pitcher Criss of the St. Louis Brown's "King Dodo" in the Mound City. Horace Fogel thinks himself sate in offering Dooin a $15,000 contract if he wins a pennant. Silk O'Loughlin says a player must have brains as well as an umpire to get along in baseball. Ted Easterly, the Nap right fielder, must hit .300 in order to hold his job on Jim McGulce's team. George Davis has one place he never will lose—a warm place in the hearts of Chicago baseball fans. New York fans will not be satisfied with anything less than two pennants this year. Neither will those in Chicago. A triple play was made by the Springfield Three-I league team the other day, but the Springfield team lost the game. If all the Pittsburg players were Fred Clarkes, it would be easy to guess where the Pirates would be at the end of the season. Larry Schlafly, the former Washington player who is now part owner of the Troy (N. Y.) club has blossomed out as a magazine writer. Hal Chase writes right-handed, plays billards left-handed, bats right-handed, throws left-handed and can butter his bread with either hand. Fred Tenney, head of the Boston Nationals, says he is going to have a ball team that will be good enough to beat out the Cardinals and the Superbars after all. Doc Marshall, the former Cub cather, is still a member of the Milwaukee Brewers despite the reports that he was going to be disposed of by Manager Jimmie Burrett. The New York National league club released Pitcher Rustenhaven to Springfield, Ill., and sent Third Baseman Clyde Fullerton to Baltimore on an optional agreement. Clarke, Wagner and Leach do not show the effect of their advanced age this year. They are supposed to be about the oldest trio in the league, but they look to be good for another year or two. Jimmy McAleer has cut down his list by three. He let Harvey Bussley, the pitcher he secured from Dawville, go outright, sent Pitcher Moyer back the Youngstown club and has notified Bunting he is to be released. A home run, a three bagger, an infield out on which a map scored and a long fly made up the 'batting work of Paul Cobb, Ty's brother, in a recent exhibition game in which his Lincoln team played. Manager Frank Isbell of the Wichita Western League club, may decide to take a whirl at playing third base, because he has as yet been unable to secure a man who meets requirements.

Tom Murray Open till 10 Saturdays CHANGING THE SUM CHANGING THE SUM "Then I am to understand that you are unwilling to give your consent to my marriage to Rose?" demanded Archer as he rose. "I have told you that I am determined that my daughter shall marry one who is able to support her in the style to which she is accustomed. You have told me that you have an income slightly less than my daughter's dress allowance. I presume you are capable of making the simple arithmetical computation that two and two make four." "I suppose I could," assented Archer. "The trouble is that there is another example on my mental slate. That is that one taken from one leaves nothing." "I fail to see the application," was the cold response. "It's this way," explained Archer, taking his seat again. "If you take Rose from me you leave me nothing to hope for. Now do you get the idea?" "Mere romantic nonsense," was the impatient reply. "You will soon find some young woman in your own station of life who will occupy your thoughts to the exclusion of my daughter." "Station in life," echoed Archer with a laugh. "It seems to me that your father and my grandfather were in the same station of life. You happened to make money and my father didn't. That's all. Rose is willing to get along on what I earn. We are not asking you to support us. Her happiness should mean something to you." "It does," agreed Sidney Wright. "It is for that reason that I insist that she shall not have to go through the inferno of economy that was necessary to my own younger days." "I think that she'd rather have me than a red automobile and Paris frocks," said Archer, rising again. "Just think over that example, Mr. Wright. One minus one equals naught. You can't forget it." Archer slipped out of the office and Wright turned once more to his desk. He was doing what was best for his daughter. Rose would thank him some day, when she knew life better. He picked up a paper but he could not concentrate his attention upon it because that absurd example kept ringing through his brain. It was later than usual when he left the office, because the jingle would cling to his memory and keep him back in his work. He thought the ride home in the open air would drive it from his brain, but the horses seemed to tread out the sum with their hoof beats on the macadam. It was like the old "Punch, brothers, punch with care," that he recalled back in the "70s." Rose's red eyes told that she had seen or heard from Archer, but she said nothing and Wright did not open the subject. More than ever the girl reminded him of her mother and he remembered how happy they had been in those early days before the HERE Is Your Earning Power come on?

Murray sudden growth of the city had taken within its limits the Wright farm and rendered building lots as valuable as acres had been before. They had been happy enough with each other, but the times were changing. Money was necessary to comfort and he would see that Rose married some one who could support her in the style to which she was accustomed. A fourroom flat was the best Archer could offer. Still the example kept flashing through his mind. "One minus one equals naught." It danced before his eyes as he read the evening paper and the more he tried to put the memory away the more insistent it became. It was the last thing in his thoughts that night and the first thing he recalled the next morning. In his sleep he had dreamed of gigantic figures, huge ones and monster cichera. He took a trolley to the office but the flatted wheels ground out the same monotonous refrain and when he went to lunch he called first upon his physician. "Just a little tired feeling," explained the doctor when the trouble was explained with no reference to the origin of the sum. "If I were you I'd run out of town for a few days and forget business worries for a while." He pocketed the fee and escorted Wright to the door, watching him go down the street with a heavy trend that was very unlike Sidney Wright. "Some business worry," he said to himself as he turned back to his own neglected lunch. "Wright needs to be careful or he will have a breakdown." Wright halled the idea of a trip with pleasure. It would take him out of sight of Rose's reprochful eyes, but that night in the sleeper the grinding of the wheels beat time to the incessant repetition of the one minus one nor was it any better next day at the winter resort. Wright was thoroughly scared. Change of scene brought him no relief and rest was out of the question. For two days he grew worse and worse and at last his tired nerves broke under the strain. For months his worry over certain pending deals had weakened his nervous system. This was the last straw. As a last resort he went over to the telegraph office in the lobby of the hotel and filled out a form. The clerk looked puzzled as he read the message for it ran: "Change your informal formula to read one plus one makes one. You have my consent." Then Sidney Wright went upstairs to get the first night's rest he had enjoyed since Archer had left his office. Opportunity Missed A small boy from town was spending a few days in the country. One morning he heard the grown folks complaining of having been kept awake the night before by a skunk. Willie burst into tears. "Why, Willie, what's the matter?" the fond mother inquired. "Why didn't some one wake me up!" he blubbered. "I never smelled a skunk in all my life!" The Trujly Great Man. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. Proverbs 16:22.

A woman from Iceland, the ‘wife of a well-known Icelandic schol- fr, was spending the winter In New York. Local pride gave her no rest She held that day lost in which she had not potnted out to some one some. thing that was better done in Iceland than In the States.

At about three o'clock. how: ever, he appeared at home with a chastened look on his face and a pound of shot In his pocket. “There's a new one starting on the other side of my neck,” he contessed. "Go ahead and boll up the shot it you want to, and then let's fix some dread and milk poultices.

But she was sorry as soon as she had sald It. “There's another of theso things coming under my chin.” he an nounced, “There'll be a whole moun: tain range of them on my neck, from ear to ear.

Take the shells of threo eggs and mash them to a powder; then swal- low one of them every morning for three days running. Ontwartly scoffing, but secretly hoping, Moffatt began to eat exe: shells. Three days passed, and the only result of the treatment was that a new and angry peak had added It- self to the chain which threatened to encircle his neck. “Franklin.” sald hls wife, then, al- most timidly, “Motlle has been talk- ing to me all day about something that never fails, if a person only bas the grit to try It.

Professor Sombon. of the London School of Tropical Diseases, makes tho eurtous suggestion that, instead of trusting to cats and doxs as animal assistants In the war on rats, we should take a lesson from antiquity and again make domestic pets of the big nonvenomous snakes. The pro- fessor even goes so far as to hint the Esculapian serpent was an object of widespread respect for the excellent reason that {t killed the rata that brought the fleas that infected men— brobabty witl. more plagues than one. ‘This theory Involves the belief that the ancients knew a lot about the na- ture, cause and transmission of dis: ease that was afterward forgotten and only recently rediscovered. It will probably not be accepted by many. but whether true or not, Professor Som- bon, whether seriously or not, does make out quite a case for the fireside snake as q rat-killer. Judictously se lected, its efficiency would be beyond question, and it would not, lke both cats and dogs, itself provide the fatal flea with conventent shelter and pas turage—New York Times.

MONEY TALKS; LIFE LISTENS Man Boasts of Owning Wealth, When He Is Really Its Abject Clave: Money talks and life Mstens as it stens not to th tongue of men or of angels. But when money, tho means of Ilfe, becomes the end, the end to all intents and purposes it is. Then does the man of means, king of a vasty realm, abdicate in favor of the slave. None Is so poor as he that 1s pos: sessed of his possession; none s0 con- temptible as he that abjectly serves his servant, Money {s an old servant of man’s, forever forgetting its place and going unrebuked. Never to have taken orders from it or “back tall” 8 to be a master indeed. Nothing is more common than to hear a man boast of his money. Is tt his? Rather, he fs its, It is a thing of authority. ft saith to one man, "Go," and he gocth; to another, “Come,” and he cometh, and to its ser- vant, “Do this,” and this he doeth. At {ts word, man jumps out of his sick bed, jostles his bosom friend, breaks an appointment with love, lets music come and go unheard, beauty unseen. Lest money should talk to him Itke the green of the earth, the blue of the sky, Jealous mistress it ts, he forgoes the Breen of the earth, the blue of the sky, flowers and the songs of birds. The volce of his old playmate, the river, calls to him in vain; the mother tongue of wind and wave is no longer even a memory; the meaning of pleas- ure fs lost to him.

EFFECTS OF INTENSE LIGHT They Are Not So Serious When the Amount Recelved by the Retina 7 te ‘Reduced, It 1s not so much the intensity of the light focused on the retina as It {s the quantity received by that sensitive organ that causes retinal fatigue oF worse, In the great snow felds of the arctic regions the natives protect thelr eyes from the glare of the snow by goggles made of hollowed pleces of wood In which they have made small holes to look through. This, says the Optical Review, reduces the quantity of the ight which passes Into thelr eyes with consequent rellef from the glare, So, too, if we look through a minute Pinhole dise at the sun we ean endure the very bright light much longer than when we look with the naked eye.

She came from Malta under the patronage of the Knights of Malta. The adminis. trator of the Majeur hospital was somewhat embarrassed with hls new pupil, but he found a means out of the dimeulty. The chiet of the Order of the Knights of Malta in introducing bis lady protege to the professors of the Florence School of Medicine wrote: “It seems to me that the matter could be arranged without any great Incon- venience If the young lady were boarded during the perlod she was studying at your medical school with the nuns In a nelghboring convent, for which we would pay five crowns a Week. In regard to her Instruction, she should assist in operations at the ‘women’s hospital, notably those per- formed by Professor Mannoni. He should also give her some private les- sons at the convent, for It appears to me that she should not bo present in classes with young men.” ‘The council of the hospital, being well disposed to the Knights, adopted the suggestion.

Do let me call a doctor.” Her face was white with anxiety and the tears were fall- ing fast as she started for the tele phone. “No. Sit down and explain—it you ean.

THE WIDOW REJECTED Refused to Receive “One Housewito” Listed In Effects Left by Her S - dier Husband, The regulation which provides that upon the death of a soldier a com- plete inventory of his effects shall be Sent to his next of kin gave rise to an amusing incident at one of our south- Western army posts recently.

His first name was Frank, that much she knew, and she knew also that he worked fn the big office bulld- ing in which she operated the public station switchboard. Most offices had their own wires and the work was Ught, so gradually she began to take especial Interest. in Frank and ,his calls. : Her own lonely little life contained no romance and she entered heart and soul Into this stranger's love af- falr. Every day on his way in from lunch and again in the evening he called up “Dearest.” It was the only name he ever used, and Edna wished that sometime some one might talk to her lke that, whether tt was over the wire or face to face. She hoped it might be some one Ike Frank, with laughing, brown eyes and a kindly smile that seemed perpetual, and her hungry heart took to itself the tender message she heard over the wire, when she deliberately cut in. She had some sharo of bis visits, for he had always a pleasant smile and a “good afternoon” for her, but she wanted more. She used to whis- per very softly her own answers to his tender messages and she was genuinely distressed when, some months Tater, the messages were ds continued.! She still looked for bis pleasant greeting as he passed her desk and wondered that he should take his disappolutment so well. She sometimes planned to call up the old number and pretend that {t was a mis- taken call Just to see if the girl was still there, ‘Then there were other tlmes when she was selfishly glad that the eglls had stopped, for she was jealous’ of his telephone sweetheart and now oc- casionally {he stopped for a word ot chat with |ber. ‘Then, one afternoon there camb the call. ‘She recognized the voice Jnstantly and her generous spirit rose|superior to her selfish jeal- ‘ousy and Without thinking she laughed into the récelver, “I'm so glad you're back,” she erted, then the foice at the other end re- called her|to her duty.
