Ottawa, May 12—In April Mr. Thorburn, North Lanark, in the house, brought up the question of admission into western Canada of Negroes from the southern states. He said that already hundreds had been admitted and thousands would follow when they learned that they could secure free homestead. He was of the opinion that these lands should be reserved for Canadians. Mr. Oliver said his department was carrying into effect the law as it was framed by parliament. Tinder the existing laws Negroes could not be prevented from coming into Canada provided that they were morally and physically fit and free from disease. The department, he said, had no choice but to continue to administer the present law until parliament decided to enact a substitute. While It was true that there were some Negro settlements in the west, the present was the first large and, apparently admitting to that country Negro families from Oklahoma, whose members possess $50 each is having the effect of furthering the colonization movement among Oklahoma Negroes especially in Okufgee, Muskogee and Greek counties, where there is a large Negro population. The first emigration to Canada during the past week was of ninety families, 500 Negroes in all, from the vicinity of Cleveland in Okufgee county. They sold all their property in this state, intending to homestead quarter sections. In Canada. Many other Negroes are making preparations to start, and the indications are there will be a great exodus. Many of the emigrants are already educated in the government schools for Indians. The two most Oklahoma because of the Jim Crow coach and depot laws, the grandfather clause act prohibits them from voting, and the separate school laws. Oklahoma Citizen Snooks Oklahoma Citizen Speaks. Oklahoma City, May 12.—Gentlemen of the Defender, some of the questions you ask I am not permitted to answer because if I did I could be easily spotted and shot by some of the Negro preachers of all denominations are largely responsible for conditions here and at the South, right here there are houses of ill fame composed of colored women, run exclusively for white men, and several girls were placed into these dens for the use of some particular business man, white on several plantations in this state and south of us white preachers are living with colored women, and neither the white man nor the black of the church of God has opened their mouths against it. Our various denominations are too eager to get their dollar money and their salaries that the interest in womanhood has long been forgotten and when heard it sounds like a tinkling cymbal. There is no hand to stay the hand of the white rapist of our women, not even our government, and when the great need of God refuses to speak the next hearsome word is run back to Canada where the fugitive gave once found shelter. Our girls and women must be protected, and since there are no marriage laws to protect her then away to the land of the free and the home of the brave—Canada. —P. K. S. At a meeting Sunday, the honorable Messrs. Cabell and Jas, Hale Porter, along with others, called a meeting of the party. It seemed they proceeded to take Hon. S. A. T. Watkins out of his position as president because he made out a state and handed it to the mayor without consulting the men; now it is said Mr. Watkins can't go home by way of the old lot. All the 16 men who were out at the meeting had to be made chairman of the different committees before order was restored; when order was restored Jas. Hall Porter had the gavel and declared the meeting adjourned. Now Mr. Porter of Mississippi is president of the Colored wing of the Democratic League; ex-Policeman Roan used his past police powers to great advantage during the meeting. ```markdown ``` Special to the Chicago Defender. Ottawa, May 12.—In April Mr. Thornburn, North Lanark, In the house, brought up the question of admission into western Canada of Negroes from the southern states. He said that already hundreds had been admitted and thousands would follow when they learned that they could secure free homesteads. He was of the opinion that these lands should be reserved for Canadians. Mr. Oliver said his department was carrying into effect the law as it was framed by parliament. Under the existing laws Negroes could not be prevented from coming into Canada provided that they were morally and physically fit and free from disease. The department, he said, had no choice but to continue to administer the present law until parliament decided to enact a substitute. While it was true that there were some Negro settlements in the west, the present was the first large and apparently well-organized movement Canadwards. As a consequence, the matter had not up till the present time been seriously considered. Mr. Oliver said that strong objections had been taken to the present policy of admitting Negroes on the same terms as white people. Mr. Foster expressed the view that when the ten millions of the Negro population in southern states became aware that they could get free homesteads in the Canadian west, there would be a migration, the extent and result of which parliament could have no idea of at the present time. Dr. Sproule asked if the government had no definite policy on the matter. The minister repeated that the question had only arisen of late. He added that it would not be the part of wisdom to adopt a drastic policy on account of the arrival of occasional parishioners. He proclaimed that the alumnion would be closely watched by the immigration officials. Mr. Thorhurn said that it would be advisable to wait until settlements had been established. E. M. Macdonald, of Picton, did not think it would be advisable to shut the people out of Canada simply because of their color. The question was then allowed to drop. The Movement in Oklahoma, Guitar City, May 12.—The final action of the Canadian government in OFFICER JCHN H. FLETCHER DEAD. The funeral of Officer John H. Fletcher, aged 25 years, took place from the Holy Cross Catholic Church, 65th and Jackson avenue, one of the finest Catholic churches in this city. Officer Fletcher had one of the largest funerals held in Chicago later, a full platoon of colored policemen in dress uniform attending, also a detail under Sergt. Cussius from the "Policemen's Benevolent Association. Many were the floral gifts from the deceased's many friends. High mass with all of its solemn customs was held and the sacred vocal selections were indeed elegant. The body was interred in the beautiful Catholic cemetery MI. Olivet; more than 100 people going by train. The life-like appearance of the corpse and the beautiful settings and arrangements at the home was in the most beautiful manner. It was said by a captain of police that attended the funeral, that young John Fletcher was a natural policeman and that the department had not a man of any race his age that was his superior, and if death had not struck him town, there was no telling how high a might have arose on the force. Undertaker Daniel Jackson had the funeral in charge and every detail was executed with the mark of a perfect professional in his line. M188 ESSIE ARNOLD ENTER- TAINED LAV15HLY. Washington, D.

P.'s big parade on last Sunday would have been a great success had the cavalry not rode into Quinn Chapel on horseback. Everybody in the street were talking about the great blunder made. Had it been on Decoration Day it would have been far different. All military rules were shattered. Did you ever see a horse in linen when the 8th go to church? The head officers of the order should have asked Col. Marshall or Maj. Jackson about it instead of going out like a lot of boys, as the laughing stock of both white and black. It's time to back up and follow rules laid down for these things. Education must hold the fort and the sonner you get it the better. But. Not. So. Useful.

Special to the Chicago Defender Boston, Mass., May 12.—Miss M. Marlon Rold, an 18-year-old, will be the valedictorian of the class of 1911 at the Brighton high school. Her points, covering the entire four years' course, are 96 out of a possible 100, and the nearest her stood about 90. It is the first time in the high schools of Boston that a colored pupil has graduated at the head of the class. The school career of this bright little colored girl has not been strenued with roses; she has had sickness at home and school cares, but she has overcome all obstacles and made a record that is astonishing. Four years she passed at the Washington Allston grammar school, from which she was graduated and four at the Brighton high. Her marks for department and punctuality in both schools are recorded perfect. There will graduate this June from the 14 high schools of this city, about 1,291 pupils. The high mark obtained by Miss Reid will put her either at the head, or very near the head of the largest class of high school pupils ever graduated in this city. This young woman, who stands a little more than four feet tall and weighs not much more than 100 pounds, is in the very pink of health. She has an interesting face, constantly changing in expression. Everybody who knows her likes her, and they call her affectionately, "Little Marlon." Born In Boston She was born on Northampton street, Boston, 18 years ago. She first attended the George Bancroft primary school, Appleton street. When her parents moved to Cambridge she went to the Mosee school, Allston and Brookline streets. From Cambridge, her parents moved to 30. Seattle street, where she now lives. She entered the Washington Allston school, September, 1903, and graduated four years later; afterward she was admitted to the Brighton high school. Upon graduation, she expects to enter Simmons college, in the department of domestic science. Did House Work. While at the Washington-Allston school, her mother was taken ill, and in addition to the school work, the girl kept the house. In the last year, her father, who was a Pullman car porter, suffered an appletite shock, Our special attention is called to the series of six articles beginning in the Outlook of May 4th, on "The Man Farthest Down" by Bloomer T. Washington. These articles constitute a portion of a series of articles later to be published in book form describing Mr. Washington's experiences and observations last summer and fall in Europe when he went there for the purpose of studying the condition of the poorest people and making a comparison between their condition and opportunities and that of the Negro people in the United States. BETHEL LITERARY CLUB The above subject is a very good one and behind it lies many thoughts. Mr. Woodlee read a very interesting paper, but handed the subject in a way that he closed every avenue of argument or, in other words, he burned his bridges behind him. He divided the Negro's progress into three eras, viz.: Religious, manual training and higher education. Mr. Woodlee did not seem to be in harmony with the teachings of Mr. Booker T. Washington. The discussion on the floor seemed to be divided between Washington and DuBois. Tomorrow, May 21, Mr. L. W. Washington, subject, "What the Business League Means to the Negro." Miss Blanche Logan, a professional pianist, now has charge of the music of the club. The Imperial quartet will make its first appearance before the club. It is composed of Mr. John Powell, Mrs. Minnie Kelloy, Mr. and Mrs. Grady Huggins. FORESTER8 SICK FOR THE WEEK Sick members of the Ancient Order of Sickers, Wm. F. Loflot, 4555 Champlain avenue; E.

Last Thursday morning before the assembled Brighton high school Head Master Frederic A. Tupper announced that the graduating class this year was led by Miss Reid. At first there was silence, then spontaneous applause, and then moments. Then her schoolmates and others surrounded and congratulated her. William C. Crawford, master of the Washington Allston district, said: "While here at this school Marton was so ladylike in her department that we all liked her. She passed out of this school one of our highest rated pupila. I am not surprised to learn that she has won the valedictory honor of the Brighton high school and congratulate her." Master Tupper Proud. Head Master Tupper of the Brighton high school said: "Yes, Miss Rold is going to be the valedictorian of this year's graduating class. She has made a most excellent record, and I think it is the best this year of any high school pupil in the city. Probably no school in this city can show such an even four years' course in points in studies than has been produced in the Brighton high school by Miss Rold. I am proud of this pupil who has held any head master of any high school and has obtained these honors by hand work. She is intellectually capable and I can trust her. Tella of Her Strugolea. "The story of her home life and of her struggles there with a father, who, by accident, became incapable of supporting his family, is pathetic. Yet with this problem and other home problems, Marlon continued her work here. She wants to go to Simmons college in the fall in the department of domestic science, and I hope a way will be found to aid her." Miss Reid said: "I was the most surprised and the happiest girl in Boston the day Mr. Tupper told me I was going to marry Orlean. I had never thought about it. I have always been discouraged and would have given up long ago, but my mother has encouraged me to keep on. If we can see our way clear I would like to go to Simmons college into the domestic science department in October." Mr. Henry Barker, who lived at 3217 Indiana avenue, died suddenly on the 10th inst. His remains were placed in "Parks" Morgue, 3155 State street, where the coroner held an inquest on the 11th inst. The post mortem showed that he died from pneumonia. Mr. Barker was a single man and had only a few friends at the inquest who knew him. He was buried at Mj. Greenwood cemetery. QUINN CHAPEL IN GALA WEEK.

James Grant—in the opinion of No. 19—was in curmudgeon. He seldom spoke; certainly he never invaded the drawing room. In fact, he seemed to shun his fellow mortals. And now he was ill. Madame was worried that he should be so inconquered as to fall sick in her house. She went up to see him. He desired grumply to be left alone. She thought he ought to go to a hospital. Dr. Callett was called. He said emphatically the old man should not be moved. He was too ill. --- The young doctor and his old patient experienced a strange attraction for each other. They had discovered that both were colonial born—Sidney sliders. At the close of three weeks of personal and professional association James Grant had on this certain afternoon told the story of his life to Dr. Callett, who had returned home a victim to the most conflicting emotions. Over 20 years before Grant and his wife were living together with their eight-year-old son on the Paramatta. His business failed, and sending his family to Melbourne he went prospecting for gold. He and his mate quarreled, and when the latter tried to kill him he, Grant, was the quicker, and killed his mate. It was self defense, but there were no witnesses. Solitude and remorse so worked upon him that he gave himself up and was given 20 years penal servitude under the name of Grant. "I've been free for more than a year," he said. "The money I had banked amounted to a considerable sum. I do not want. I've tried hard to find my wife and son, but without avail. My real name is James Grant Herron." The old man laid back on the pillows and Dr. Callett Herron slipped from the room to his office. He was about to be married. Would she consent to be the son of a convict? She must be told all about it. He sought her out, and pacing up and down with averted face told her all. But it made no difference to her. She was true blue. Insisted he should acknowledge his father. Would not marry him if he didn't. Providence had brought the doctor and his father together and this should not be nullified. Together they went to No. 18, where the old man's dearest sight that he might see and know his son was gratified. "Ah! laddie," the old man faltered out at last, "I can understand your hesitation to call a worthless old fellow father. That sweetheart of yours has a heart of gold. Fetch her up, boy—I'd like to see her, if she will come." His son obeyed him, and presently the girl entered the room. Crossing to the bed, without hesitation, she took one of the invalid's hands in her own; then, impulsively she bant and kissed him on the forehead. The grim old eyes softened. "God bless you, my dear," he murmured. "In the prison chapel on Sunday we used to sing 'Now Let Thy Servant Depart in Peace.' I begin to understand what that means." He watched them smilingly when, after a while, they left the room together; then the invalid hy back with a deep sigh. Yes, he had seen his boy again! And the solution! It was in his own hands—what was it his boy, the doctor, had told him? He must keep warm, avoid chills—ny, keep very warm. Slowly and painfully at midnight the sick old man struggled from his bed and tottered to the little window. Opening it wilde with difficulty, he bared his breast and leanned shivering across the sill, inhaling the chill December night air with short, choking gasps. Next morning Paul, the man-of-all-work, coming to attend the fire, found James Grant stretched unconscious by his bedside and the room cold and bleak. Dr. Callett was summoned in hate. Just before he died the old man had a flicker of consciousness. Finding his boy bending over him, he smiled contentedly. So Dr. Callett Herron and his wife had the secret to themselves. And they never disclosed it to the doctor's stepfather (also himself Dr. Callett) and his sister VI.

The Charger at the Funeral The charger led at the funeral of a cavalry officer is a celle of the custom when a horse was sacrificed at the grave.

Adams But soldom do we have the pleasure of directing the attention of the public to one who has made a success of more than one vocation in life. Still, there are a few who have been successful in numerous undertakings. Among the few we are pleased to mention Mr. John Ford, who was a famous baseball fan and bookmaker. He gained not only fame but excellent financial advancement. Mr. Ford has been employed now for several years as a waiter at the "Princeton Inn Cafe" and has shown the same aptitude in mastering his work along these lines as he did on the diamond or in the booking field. Mr. Ford left Chicago several days ago for Louisville, KY, there to take a much needed rest and to witness the great "American Derby." The best wishes of the "Defender" go with him and we will say in the vernacular of the "Great White Way," (State St.), "Show yourself self, and bring home the bacon." The boys were all pleased to see F. W. Walker, one of our old Chicagoans, in the city a few days ago. Walker is on his way to Grand Rapids, MIch. to be with the crow of walters at the Pauldell Hotel in Grand Rapids during the furniture season, which runs from June 30th to Aug. 1st. Mr. Walker was the head waltter at the Burlingon hotel in Burlington, Iowa. He sends best regards to all the boys. W. I. Zimmerman is the new headwaiter at the Hotel Washington, Seattle. William Telschow has been appointed matre d'hotel of the Hotel Radisson, Minneapolis. It is reported that Walter Welss, a headwaiter at the Hotel Radisson, Minneapolis, has fallen heir to $30,000 left him by an uncle in Germany. J. J. Miles, who was headwaiter at the Plankton House, Milwaukee, over thirty years, has been appointed superintendent of service at the Southern Hotel, Columbus, Ohio. The above mentioned headwaiters are all white with one exception, namely, J. J. Miles, who is one of our own and famous in his line of business. However, each of aforementioned headwaiters is supported by a colored crew. "Snapping" the Caribou. In this country when you see a tree, you know perfectly well it isn't a tree; it's the horns of a carlou lying down. An unusually large affair of branches appeared on an island in the channel to Aylmer. I landed, camera in hand; there was a tuff of herbage 30 yards from him; another 20 yards. I crawled to the first and made a snapshot; then, flat as a rug, sneaked my way to the one I estimated at 20 yards. The clock of the camera alarmed the buck; he roso, triled the wind, then lay down again, giving me another glance. Having used all the films, I now stood up. The carlou dashed away, and by a slight limp showed that he was in sanctuary. The 20-yard estimate proved too long; it was only 16 yards, which put my picture a little out of focus.—Ernest Thompson Seton in Bristoler's. Two Kinds of Biches Dollar chasing by day; bridge whist by night; home a place for sleeping only, is not success. Live today. Make it successful. Make it a day of progress, kindness and work. A lot of such todays in your old age will be pleasant to look back upon. If your todays are dollar chasing and character killing, looking backward in the old age days will be a chorolless picture. "Yes," says Bill Success, "you can be rich—there are two kinds of riches, dollars and happiness." There are two doors, Dollars at the left and Happiness at the right, and the ticket taker is at the entrance and his name is "Compensation." Go in either door, but there are no rain checks given or money back. You must choose which door you will take. There's an inner door to the Dollar entrance marked Failure. There's an inner door to the Happiness entrance marked Success. You may go in either entrance, but you must pay the price. Six Quillie to a Novel. The use of quill pons is by no means confined to government offices and the gentleman who point with them at unhappy witnesses. A habitual writer, for instance, confesses that he novor willingly used a steel pen since he was out of the control of schoolmasters. He always used quills until the triumphant fountain pen provided him with a reasonable substitute, and that more because of its convenience than its efficiency. Several well-known novelists still stick to the quill; it is, indeed, the only writing implement with any personality—if it is refractory you can coax it. The mending of a quill does not require much practice, and you can buy, for a small sum, a little machine that does it for you beautifully. You may easily write 15,000 words with one quill, mending it four times, which gives six quills to the novel. So the cost of novel writing is small—stated in terms of quills.

General Serrell Predicted Another Canal Would Be Built Across Isthmus of Panama Via the Bias Route. By E. J. EDWARDS. Gen. Edward Wellman Serrell, who died in 1906, was one of the great engineers of the United States. He was associated with some of the most important and difficult engineering undertakings of the time between the early forties and 20 years after the Civil war. In the latter years of his life, which was much occupied with his pot project of building a ship canal across the Isthmus of Panama along what is called the San Blas route, which lay some miles nearer the South American continent than the Panama canal. He projected his canal from the Gulf of San Blas, on the Atlantic, to Pearl island harbor, on the Pacific; and he claimed that it could be built at sea level and on a straight line, with no locks, less than 30 miles from ocean to ocean, and not be costly. He was almost heart-broken when it became apparent to him that the government would decide in favor of the present Panama canal project. During a conversation that I had with Gen. Serrell in 1894, when discussion over the probable government canal across the lathusm of Panama was attracting a great deal of attention, I asked the general how he had become interested in the construction of a canal along the San Blas route, in view of the fact that, about half way between the two oceans a great mountain stood exactly in the pathway of his projected canal. "My belief in the feasibility of the San Blas route is due to two of my earlier experiences as an engineer," was the reply. "In the first place, I was one of the engineers employed by Commodore William Aspinwall to make a survey of the Panama railroad across the lathusm of Panama so as to shorten the route between the Atlantic coast and San Francisco in California gold days. That experiment made me very familiar with the lathusm; we went all over the San Blas route before deciding upon our final survey for the Panama railroad. "In the next place, my experience with the Hoosac tunnel, one of the most exciting experiences of my life, led me to realize how easily the San Blas route could be constructed in spite of the mountain that towers in its pathway near the center of the lsthmus. "The state of Massachusetts had authorized the construction of a tunnel under the great Hoosac mountain. That meant tunneling through solid rock about four and three-quarter miles, and at the base of a mountain some 500 feet in height. Tunneling at that time had not advanced so far as it has at present. The great problem with us was to be sure that the two borgs, one for the west and the other from the east, would meet exactly at the center. "You can't imagine how exciting and apprehensive we were as the workmen from either end approached each other. At last one day the rocks were pierced from the east to the west, and the drills met with a deviation of only a little over an inch. That was spoken of at the time as a great triumph of tunnel engineering. "Now, I said to myself, when I came to study this canal problem, if we could cut the Hoosac tunnel so accurately as that, we could easily tunnel the San Blas mountain, although we might have to cut the tunnel a hundred feet wide and a hundred and fifty feet high. That, sir, would be a simple question of draughting. But with that mountain tunneled in that way, any ship could pass through, we should have a perfect sea-level canal only 30 miles long, the mountain tunneling be only five miles, and good natural harbors at either end. "I suppose that if it had not been for my experience on the isthmus when surveying the Panama railroad, and my work as the engineer in charge of the Hoosac tunnel construction, I never should have thought of the San Blas intercanal canal route. And I tell you," the great engineer added emphatically (and who dares to deny prophetically?) "that if our government decides upon the Panama or the Nicaraguan route, the day will surely come in the next century when an intercanoean canal will be constructed by private capital via the San Blas route. And whenever that time comes, let the government canal look out for competition." (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) The Trap Nest.

WOMAN IS FREED BY UNWRITTEN LAW Texas Jury Acquits Her of Charge of First Degree Murder. STORY A SENSATIONAL ONE For Two Years Woman Prayed for Her Victim, Then Shot Her When Prayer Did Not Prove Efficacious—Dead Woman Stole Her Husband. Fort Worth, Tex.—The unwritten law in Texas applies to women as well as men, according to a jury at Fort Worth, which cleared Mrs. T. M. Brooks, charged with first degree murder in shaying Mrs. Mary Blauford whom she charged with trying to break up her home. Insanity was the grounds she was freed on, but there was not a word on insanity mentioned in the trial. It was a plain case of the unwritten law and it was enough to free the woman. Mrs. Brooks is the wife of a Fort Worth attorney. During the busy part of the day of January 16 last, she went to a large department store where Mrs. Blinford was employed and shot her to death. She left a prayer meeting at her own home to accomplish the deed. The story of how Mrs. Brooks, always prominent in Methodist church circles, prayed every day for two years that the Lord would make a better woman of Mrs. Blinford, and how, after hearing, unwittingly, a telephone conversation between her husband and Mrs. Blinford, Mrs. Brooks gave up the struggle and resolved to kill the woman who had spoiled her life, made one of the most sensational murder trials Texas has had for years. It was Mrs. J. W. Boyd, formally a next door neighbor of the Brooks', who declared that she knew of her own knowledge that the defendant had prayed for the redemption of Mrs. Binford, change her husband's disposition and end her troubles. Mrs. Boyd had talked to the witness, free A woman in a long coat and hat stands at the counter of a store, pointing towards a man in a suit and tie. Shot Her to Death. quently as to what course should be pursued to end matters so everybody would be satisfied and they decided that prayer alone could accomplish this. "Who were very happy until we moved to Fort Worth," said Mrs. Brooks on the stand. Then she told how Mrs. Blinford came into her life nearly five years ago. She said: "She came to my husband's office to get a divorce, and Mr. Brooks called me up and said: 'Mamma, there is a woman in my office who wants me to do a little legal work for her. She has no friends in the city and little money. What do you say if I bring her up tonight?'" "She came. That was the beginning. Welcoming her as a friendless young woman in a strange city and with a desire to give her a good start, I fostered the cause of my wrecked happiness, stood it as long as I could and then killed her." Leads to Discovery of Ancient Cold Storage Poultry—Twenty Thousand Pounds Condemned. Cincinnati.—What amounted to practically a raid on cold storage poultry was completed by Doctor Blume, the city meant Inspector. Within the month he and his assistants have condemned 20,000 pounds of cold storage poultry. Doctor Blume says he found meat that had been in cold storage for five years, some venison actually being stamped 1005. Doctor Blume said that what first attracted his attention and suggested the investigation was the fact the cheap restaurants were selling a chicken dinner for 15 cents and that some saloons were supplying chicken in their free lunches. "I conjectured," Doctor Blume said, "that something must be the matter with poultry that could be sold at that figure." May Teach Office Hygiene. New York.—A school of "office hygiene" is a novel feature offered to business men by the New Union hospital.

Eon-Eating Challenge Rockland, Maine—Thomas F. Curley, who calls himself the champion enter of Massachusetts, has issued a challenge, backed by $100, "to devour a larger quantity of eggs, oysters or lobsters at one sitting than any self-styled champion in the country." Recently he ate five dozen, boiled eggs at a meal. Or "in other occasions he devour one-pound lobsters and it a slitting. A Half-Cent Coln. The lack of the half cent in our money undoubtedly costs the consumers of the United States millions of dollars every year. Competition has become so keen in business that producers and middlemen figure their prices down to the finest point. The difference of a half or even a quarter of a cent in the cost of such things as flour, sugar and soap moans in the aggregate thousands of dollars to them. And that fraction of a cent is as valuable to the buyers as to the sellers. Yet when a certain cloth is advertised for sale at $37 \frac{1}{2} cents a yard and a woman buys three yards of it, she pays $1.13, because she cannot hand over $1.12 \frac{1}{2}$. With eggs at 45 cents a dozen, she pays 23 cents for half a dozen. The odd half cent goes to the seller. Never does the purchaser get the benefit of it. Philosophy of Epictetus. Epictetus: Everything has two handles; one by which it may be borne, another by which it cannot. If your brother acts unjustly, do not lay hold on the affair by the handle of his injustice, for by that it cannot be borne; but rather by the opposite, that he is your brother, that he was brought up with you, and thus you will lay hold on it as it is to be borne.

Miss Bertha Williams, pianist, the subject of editorial comment in this issue, will be featured in our next edition. The editor of the Defender and his writing staff and advertising agents truly acknowledge their shortcoming, but still remain in the lead. The bulldog that tackled a cat last Sunday on State street made noise enough to demonstrate that some members of the brute family are none too game. Hon. Edw. D. Green, Governor Charles S. Dencen's tribute to the race in promptly signing his bills, will be the subject of a special article in our next issue. The response of the citizens on Monday night to the Eighth Regiment's ball was one of the best we have ever seen in many months. Despite the rain, 1,800 lovers of the boys in blue were on hand. Ex-President Roosevelt's assertion, according to H. B. Needham, that his greatest ambition is to be shot on the field of battle, is airlight, but what's the use if there is no occasion for it. People sometimes live to conquer. Amos Brown, a little colored boy 10 years old, is turning white at Pontiac, Mich. He has been dismissed from school. The doctor claims the child has vegetable parasite and the disease communicable. But it would seem likely that some of his ancess are white. President Taft's statement that a Y. M. C. A. building in Washington is of more importance to colored people than in any other city may be reasonable enough if Chicago gets her $25,000 first, unless the President is anxious that the reputation of Julius Rosenwald shall grow in advance of real results. Mrs. Celia Parker Wooley, the white lady of Douglass Center, thinks that prejudice accounts for a great deal of idleness among colored girls. What colored girls need is careful home training from their mothers or guardians. Perhaps a course of lectures to the mother fraternity would be fundamentally helpful. T. Thomas Fortune, in speaking of R. T. Hill, the defaulted cashier of the Savings Bank of the Grand United Order of True Reformers, after twenty-two years of service, says that his mistake is a matter of much moment to the Negro race. When Fortune speaks all the nation can understand his meaning. THE DEFENDER NEEDS HERS. It is impossible for the Defender to deliver the paper if its patrons will continue to hold back its money. Say, for instance, our lodges and societies could just as conveniently pay as they go as to have a paper bill wait until after an entertainment or a meeting, for by the time you put the motion and some one the previous question and a postponed meeting or two, the medium upon which you depend is catching Sam hill. You will say we can pay. You can. But when? Pay now. Do business like other people. We ask our friends to see to it that the Defender, the largest weekly in America, be supported in the proper way by sending the money due us. Miss Bortha Williams, pianist, pupil of Mr. de Lowinski, who appeared in a recital at Music Hall recently is the subject of much criticism. Miss Williams has appeared in Music Hall several times before and the charge that this was her first appearance there was very unjust. Mr. De Lowinski proposed and promoted the recital in question and we wonder how Miss Williams could be thrusting herself upon the public. Miss Williams' ability is unquestioned, because an audience composed almost entirely of members of the opposite race should be stinted in applause is no reason why there should be so much adverse criticism from her own race whose first duty is to do honor to their own when they serve it and Miss Williams certainly Miss Williams welcomes and And proof by nuncest H. the review of the recital in the "Medical News" was a fair one and the Chicago Defender offers these few lines for her further consideration. The will of the late Charles H. Smiley, published in the Defender two weeks ago, is especially defective in much that he did not make any provision for his own offspring. Time and again we have read of this great disobedience and scorn of parents who bring children into the world. When life is extinct it matters not what the differences have been between parent and child. What is left belongs to them—if not by will, legally by contest of law'. The bequest of $3,000 Mr. Smiley gives to the University of Chicago as, and for Endowment creating a scholarship in his own name which shall be administered by the Board of Trstees for poor but promising students, naming those of his own race as a preference. Mr. Smiley also makes it plain that he makes the bequest because of his own limited opportunity to acquire an education. In this respect Mr. Smiley overlooks the most fortunate opportunity he had to educate his own children and ignores their rights to the recompense of their own, by heritage, in order to educate others spitefully. The University of Chicago is very rich and not at all in need of the Endowment. If the Trustee Board can see in the terms of the contract that they are at liberty to dispose of the $3,000 dollars as they see fit in their judgment, a fact which the will certainly implies, and realize that Mr. Smiley advanced by business capability rather than by advanced intelligence, they will readily concede his mistake by equally dividing the $3,000 between his children as a benefaction upon what their father thought to be right, to save them from retaliation and to save the University from the embarrassment of such reproach as the will might warrant. COST HIS SALARY TO SLEEP Newly Elected Senator Gets Object Lesson in High Cost of Living. A newly elected senator came on early to Washington to arrange for rooms, and had an object-less furniture furnished him on "the high cost of living." He wanted to start in "with the swim" and be at the center of things so he priced the "focusal" hotel. "We make it $650 a month, two rooms and bath, to you, senator—without meals," said the clerk dreamily. When the senator caught his breath, he was two blocks up the avenue. He tried another hotel; a moderately exclusive house whose lobbies were a sort of eddying pool of statemen and "influential" lobbystats. To him the attendant flamen of this glided shrine remarked: "Now, we have a choice two rooms with bath, at $650 per month—" "Without eating—just for a sleeping place!" broke in the senator, "why, I'd burn up with fever if I had to sleep at that price!" The salary of a senator is $7,500, and it is figured on the high level of "simple living" in Washington that he ought to part with that much for assured rest at a good hotel. But the new senator didn't feel that way about it. Finally it was suggested that he might take a room at the simple hotel of the old days, at $1 per 24 hours, and save money, using the parcel room for baggage when away over Sunday. Then he could take a peep at Peacock alley and meet friends in the "lobby" which the more wealthy statesmen and tourists support.—National Magazine. POPE'S HEAVY MAIL BAG His Holiness Gets Greater Number of Missives Than Any King or Executive. If one were asked to speculate as to the sovereign whose daily mall bag was the greatest one would hazard the kaiser. But no. Then most will say it ought to be. On on unimpachable authority of a Paris contemporary we learn that the popo is the recipient of the greatest number of missives. The mail of his holiness consists on the average of 23,000 letters, newspapers, etc. To go through this mass 25 secretaries are kept employed. The president of the United States receives nearly 1,000 letters daily and about 4,000 journals and books. The kaiser's mall consists of 4,000 letters and frequently the same number of books and papers. Our king, we learn, is favored with 1,000 letters a day and over 2,000 newspapers and books. The czar is not overworked in this respect for a sovereign, his majority's mall being given at 650 letters, etc., per day. The kings of Italy and Spain have to deal with about 200 letters each. Queen Wilhelmina is still more favored with 160 letters, etc. But President Fallerles is still more fortunate, for we are told that he receives few letters and hardly any papers.—London Globe. SNEEZER IS BARRED OUT No Place for Him In Good Orchestra, No Matter How Good Per- former He Is. Even high-class musicians are not above indulgence in practical jokes, according to a story told in Live Topics About Town of the New York Sun. But played too oft they may become a matter of serious import to the player, using the term in its broadcast meaning. Nobody can dispute the sincerity of the players in a big orchestra like the Philharmonic or the New York Symphony. Most of the time they take their work seriously, but sometimes the men break loose and play tricks on one another, as though they were youngsters in school. Of course, the audience knows nothing of these things; they're usually perpetrated in rehearsals. The red-pepper trick is the commonest. The joker scatters it where the bassoon and trombone players are likely to suck it up. The result is chokes and aueses. Sometimes the epidemic reaches even into the strings, but of course the players on the wind instruments get it worst. As a matter of fact, the jokers are playing with fire. "A confirmed anceer can't get a job in a good orchestra, no matter how good a performer he may be," said a consistent concert-goer. "Think of the effect of a rousing anceer on a pianist'siol Why, it would spoil a whole concert, one anceer would. A conductor has to guard against a anceer as he does against inebriety." ROYAL FLUSH IS DEATH OF WOMAN Expires as She Wins Money Enough to Offset Loan to Sweetheart. GIVES FIRM'S FUNDS TO MAN Youth Disappears Soon After Borrowing From Girl and She Tries to Recoup Loss by Playing Cards for Stakes—Drawe Royal Flush and Dies. Chicago.—Just at the critical moment, when there was enough money in the pot to wipe out an indebtedness, incurred for her sweetheart, Miss Laura Cotton, as she was winning steadily in a poker game to retrieve the loss of the loan, drew a royal flush and dropped dead in her chair. The other members of the poker party, shocked at the sudden climax of their evening's enjoyment, hurriedly called a physician, but Miss Cotton died before he arrived. Miss Cotton, together with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry E. Cotton, and J. Mann, a friend, had been playing cards all evening. In the early stages of the game the stakes were low and Miss Cotton held successful hands every day. Determined to win enough money to repay her for a loss she had incurred by loaning money to her sweetheart, she raised the auto and still continued to be successful. At eleven o'clock she had won half of the amount required. In the next deal the jackpot increased until he hold more than enough to offset the loss of the loan. Miss Cotton was feverish with excitement. With her whole future seemingly staked on the hand she was about to draw, the strain proved too much and when a royal flush loomed into view she dropped over in a dead fallt. "Sometimes ago my daughter was employed by the Equity Finance and Loan company," said Mr. Cotton "During her employment there she be 222 She Dropped Over in a Dead Faint came acquainted with a young man who paid her considerable attention He called hero frequently and in a short time a close friendship was formed. "One day he told her he was in a very serious predicament, saying that he needed a considerable amount of money and didn't know where to get it. He asked her for a loan, saying he would repay it soon. My daughter did not have that much money, but told him she could get it from the firm. "Knowing the young man so well and believing him to be perfectly honest, she compiled with his request by taking some of the firm's money and giving it to him, never suspecting but that it would be returned soon." Soon after she made the loan the man disappeared, leaving no message, and Miss Cotton was obliged to borrow the money to make good her shortage. The firm never missed the money and she was never questioned, but from that time on, according to her father, she began to worry. She became nervous, her health failed and she left her position. Finally she became subject to fainting spells that resulted in her death. Her father, who is employed by the Deering Harvoster company, attributes the death of his daughter to the worry and distraction over the loan incident and the fainting spells which followed. OFFER $1,000 FOR A ROSE New Variety, Grown In America, Is Wanted for the Panama-California Exposition. San Diego, Cal.—One thousand dollars for a rose.

The second is that the competitors must be residents of the United States, and the third is that they must make known to the Floral association their intention to compete. The date for the ground breaking and corner stone laying ceremonies for the exposition is July 19-22. Thief Steals Time. Berlin.—Munich has just been visited by a thief with a sense of humor.

OCULIST'S NEW DISCOVERY Theory of Process of Vision Is Changed as Result of Berios of Experiments. A new discovery with regard to the phenomena of the sense of sight has been announced by Dr. F. W. Edridge-Green, an ominent English authority in visual research. He has found by an interesting series of experiments and tests that the process of vision is not the simple transmission by the optic nerve to the brain of objects photographed upon the retina. The new discovery in non-technical language amounts to this: In front of the retina there is a small chamber or sac of clear liquid which is in constant motion of currents or eddles. Dr. Green finds that this liquid itself contains distinct perceptive nerve power which plays an important part in conveying impressions to the brain. In our words, this wonderful fluid contains liquid nerves, so to speak, which transmit to the understanding a considerable part of the impression it receives of color, form, etc. Bees have a way of swarming in all sorts of places. One day about a million of them invaded a kennel where a terrier was quietly dozing. The dog naturally resented the intrusion, and not knowing the way to manage bees is to let them alone, even if they choose to settle on one's head, he tried to bite them, and was very badly stung. Fortunately his master was close at hand, and a few buckets of water saved the dog's life. It is not impossible to express the marvelous power of the sun's heat, but we can admit without shame that it is impossible to comprehend it. The heat emitted by the sun in each second is equal to that which would result from the combustion of eleven quadrillions, six hundred thousand milliards of tons of coal burning at the same time. More Cheerfulness. There ought to be a state prison for those who destroy the hopefulness and lesson the energy of their fellows; they are human ravens eternally croaking their "Nevermore!" like that dismal fowl whose neck the poet should have wrung at an early stage of his visit. We want a prophet of cheerfulness; a dispenser of sunshine. Man, queer creature! Marry him, wait on him, trot for him, amuse him, mend his clothes, and he will love you in his own comfortable piggy way. Jilt him, and he will worship and adore you the rest of his life.—Chicago Record-Herald. Marriage Merely Temporary.

More Cheerfulness Man's Peculiarity HUNT BUFFALO IN AUTOS Enraged Bison Escaping From James J. Hill's Farm Is Run Down. The screams of school children barricaded in a district school seven miles from Anoka prevented a charge through a window of the building by the entraged buffalo that escaped from James J. Hill's farm 20 miles away, and gave the clue to the whereabouts of the beast that led to its death, says a Minnesota dispatch to the New York World. Reporters ascertained in their chase of the animal that it really was a full-grown American bison. In an automobile the reporters began the hunt for an animal now almost extinct. Even the skeptical people of the country, who scouted the first reports of farmers, who wore terrorized by sight of the beast, are convinced that it really was a buffalo. Early the countryside was roused and the chase renowed. After an exciting hunt the animal was located in the heavy timber a quarter of a mile from Barney Monlon's place, on the State road. County Attorney H. Pratt and Lee Giddings left the automobile, in which they had been pursuing the beast, and hastily entered the timber tract. On the other side of the woodland Pratt made out the creature dashing through a field of stubble. Though it was a long shot, Pratt fired. This was followed by a volley from Giddings, and together the men hastened in the direction of the clearing. A trail of blood was found, and another glimpse through the farther thickets showed that the animal was hampered in his rapid flight by a slight limp. Later in the day the buffalo was killed and killed by a pogon. CLUBS AND SECRET SOCIETIES Unique Temple, Lady Elis, meets on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month, at Mastilde, D.

FOSTER MUSIC COMPANY 5023 STATE ST., CHICAGO, ILL. --- MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC SYLVESTER RU88ELL. TEN GEORGIA CAMPERS AT THE NEW GRAND. The Ten Georgia Campers did not camp very long on the stage; they just kept their feet in motion at the New Grand from start to finish, as the closing act of the show last Monday evening. Clarence Bowens, the star of the organization, and Miss I. Ringgold, the leading lady, were quite responsible for the greater part of science in modern buck dancing which this troupe delivers as genuine goods. The singing, too, was tuneful and the costumes showed up well under different shades of color from lights that were not too perfectly reflected. Miss Ringgold's singing of "The Land of Harmony" was well put over and Mr. Bowens' dancing and skate sliding was finished art to the purpose. Miss Ray Samuels, with a very clever bunch of pickaninies, was another good turn and this lady certainly deserves a lot of credit for training a set of youngsters to such good perfection in these days when children are so very badly affected with the big-head. Miss Samuels' song was also good. The Four Lincoln's in singing instrumental and comedy changes were good especially in their comedy work. It is seldom there are two similar musical acts on one bill, but the Milliard Sisters, who opened the bill, were also good musicians, especially in their duet with the aid of a piano, and the saxophone duo. Of these three white acts, Paul Bauman, a black-face comedian, easily made good in his monologue, imitations and dancing. The New Grand orchestra, which has quite a task this week, managed to pull through creditably. A Lively Bill at the Monogram. The Monogram Theater provided a unique bill, which opened the week to good business. It is a typelet Southern bill of home life, which appeals to colored folks only. May and May led the fun by cracking hard-shelled jokes from away back, which, judging from the Lively attitude of the audience, gave much pleasure to whatever element may be left to plead guilty of encouraging idolatry of an ancient civilization. Mr. May was peaches and Miss May was all the cream necessary for the occasion. The Southern comedy trio which kept the tail end of the South further in evidence gave us a very fat mamma who could talk nicely. Her two young sons were rival brothers and rival dancers, but their social determination was unsteady. One brother was a college student who studied astronomy and the other a low obbite follow in knee breeches, who could really dance and that's a lot to say about unheralded actors. Of the legitimate ranks Elvira Johnson sang and danced through her best song specialties with total recognition. Sidney Perrin and Goldie Crosby were there to be seen in an early-in-the week rehearsal, but it's hard to tell how great the two well-known, clever artists have waxed by this time, ere their engagement closes. Dorsey Swentman and Reeves, the musicians, looked pleased. The Howard Amusement Company opened its final engagement at the Pekin Theater in "The Wolf," a French-Canadian drama in which Lorin J. Howard appeared as the star and Irene Witt as leading lady and their work was exceptionally fine. The rest of the company also gave good satisfaction. The Pekin Stock Company made its final appearance at this house in a Song Review in which Allie Gillam, Chas. Glipin, Billy Johnson, Clarence Tisdale, W. C. Coleman, Lloyd Gibbs, Funnie Wise, Marie Burton, Lottie Grady, Adah Banks, Muggie Davis, Adn Jones, Gortie Brown, Ethel Marlow and Daisy Brown participated. The Pekin Theater, with an augmented orchestra, will put on mixed high-class vaudeville next week and there will only be one performance. BIG VAUDEVILLE AT "THE PEKIN." BIG VAUDEVILLE AT "THE PEKIN." Beginning on Monday at the Pekin Theater a season of the highest class vaudeville entertainments will be instituted. The dramatic plays will be withdrawn, and the stock company disbanded. Arrangements have been made to secure the best acts playing the leading circuits that enter the city, thereby insuring the most suitable acts and giving the patrons of The Pekin the cream of the best vaudeville in Chicago. Owing to the policy of one show nightly, the management is in a position to offer a higher class of acts than ever before. Each bill will consist of novelty, nowness, and morit, and none of the acts that have appeared at the Pekin during its season of vaudeville in the past will again be shown. The program will have ten big features and run in two parts of five numbers each, with an intermission to patrons who are compelled to arrive late. The entertainment will be far above anything they would expect, as the strength of the bills will be such as to be considered two shows for one price of admission. This effort is in accordance with providing an entertainment for the patrons who have so loyally supported the Pokin in the face of the competition now established. Appreciating the fact and thanking the patrons, the management is endeavoring to present an entertainment that will not only bear comparison, but in every particular prove superior to anything in the city, not excepting the bills presented at the leading downtown theaters. Nothing but the best of the highest class and only after personal observation can any act be played at the Pekin. Favorite colored acts of the standard will always find a place on the bills and every deserving and aspiring colored artist will, as always, find the Pekin a means to their chance to establish themselves in the profession of acting. The most liberal and economical scale of prices will provail consistent with the class of entertainment. Boxes, 50 cents; half main floor, 30 cents; balance main floor, 20 cents; first rows of balcony, 20 cents; balance, 10 cents. Nowhere such a show for the price. Opening bill as follows: Latest photo plays. Alberto. A spectacular novelty, "The Alligator." Woody & Marshall, colored entertainers. Lea Itemondo & Co., in "Mrs. Delan's Dream." Clarence Tisdale, tenor. Sven Kawkusian Russian troupe; dancers, singers, instrumentalists. Fanny Wise, soprano. Grand musical novelty. John T. & Jessie Powers, comedy entertainers. Nine Laughing Tourists, the big minstrel show and musical comedy. AMATEUR MINSTRELS PARTY REPORT. The Editor, The Chicago Defender, Chicago, Ill. Dear Sir:— Please allow us space in your columns to publicly thank the Amateur Minstrel Club for $100, being a part of the net proceeds of their Easter entertainment. This multifacial sum, which is to be applied to the purchase of coal during the coming winter, is a fitting testimonial to the arduous labors and generosity of these, gentlemen. We thank them again and again for this splendid contribution, and bespeak for them the gratitude and commendation of the general public. Would their work might be emulated by other young men's clubs. Expenses, $130.61. Amount cleared, $142. Punch bowl, $26. Ladies' cloak room, $10. Home for Aged and Infirm Colored People. W. H. JACKSON, secretary. Iowen M.

Thomas, of the Congo King, will open his season at Buxton, Iowa, May 29th, with Band and Orchestra carrying fifteen people. Clemo, who played the National May 1st, had an accidental fall, but has recovered. Miss Bessie Edginton, of Clemo & Clemo, is now working single. --- Frank Rogers, the ventriloquist, has finished the Orpheum Circuit. He has arrived in city to open on the Association time in Racine, WIs., at an early date. The Prince Trio played the Hamilton and Virginia theaters last week and head the bill at the Archer theater this week. This trio has been doing good comedy work. Williams and Jones are at the Savoy Theater, Memphis, Tenn., working in the stock company. W. Rogers Jones is singing "I'll Change the Thorns to Roses." Others on the bill were "The Russells," the "James Sisters," Bessie La Belle and Laura Smith. From all accounts and rather sudden authority Miss Abbie Mitchell and Kemper Harrold, the violinist, are to give a recital at Institutional Church, Monday evening; May 15th, which will no doubt be attractable. The faculty of Lincoln High School, at Kansas City, is to give a May Festival May 19th, on which occasion S. Coleridge Taylor's "Hlawatha" is to be sung. Mr. Harry T. Burleigh, the distinguished baritone of New York, will be the chief solist. Others will be William Hacknoy, tenor, Chicago; Miss Blanche Yancy, soprano, and Desdemona West, accompanist, both of Kansas City. The oratorio will be given in costumes under the direction of Gerald Tyler. The proceeds will be given to equip a playground for colored children. BERTHA WILLIAMS IN RECITAL Miss Williams is a pupil of Mr. do Lowinsk, and has been heard in private a number of times; she has reached a very considerable degree of piano proficiency, and has gained already much reputation. She, however, was hardly ready to have given a Music Hall recital, and the good work she accomplished was marred by the fact that some of her pieces were obviously unprepared. This criticism need not discourage her, however, but on the contrary, it should induce her to go faithfully to work to re-commit and re-practice her repertoire, for with such good technic and taste as she has displayed, it only needs a thoroughly prepared program to put her in proper light before the public. Mr. de Lowinski may pride himself not a little on the tonal quality he has been able to evolve in the playing of this young girl, for as matter of fact, it is exquisite. Very few local pianists have a more pronounced tonal beauty. There is never a harshness of the least degree in anything she plays, and she has withal a brilliantly developed scale, an even trill and a remarkable facility in unraveling the Liszt cadonzas. Several of her numbers were so badly prepared as regards correct reading and from the memory standpoint as to be unworthy of a place on a first-class program. Notably had, rhythmically and as regards reading of notes was the A flat "Ballade" by Chopin. On the other hand the very difficult "Scherzo" by the same composer was played immensely better; it was, in fact, a reading much above the ordinary, and the only suggestion necessary to offer for its improvement would be that it should be pedaled more extensively, this same criticism applying to both the Lazit pieces, which closed the program, and in which the more difficult passages were presented with rare facility, while in the easier parts there was no continual striking of false notes. The very best work of the whole eventing was found in the Chopin "Nocturne," in double thirds, and this was indeed a reading which can be endorsed without any reservations; the tonal quality was beautiful, the rhythm was exact, and the interpretation was of much dignity and not a little originality as well.—The Musical News. House Haunted? Low Rent! When alien immigrants arrive in this country they often bring with them a stock of misapplied ingenuity. The tenant with a ghost is a game that is being played by foreigners in various parts of the United States, and, what is more, it is being played successfully. The nowcomer takes a house, and, after one or two payments of rent, complains that the promises are haunted. Quaking with simulated fear, he tolls a tale of horror—of a headless man seen stalking from the coal collar, a lady in white or of something invisible but groaning. Now, a ghost is the average landlord's prime aversion. Spectral visitors afford splendid subjects for gossip in the neighborhood, and prospective tenants soldom fall to hear and be warned off by the story. Anxious that the report shall not get about, landlord confers with tenant, and in several such instances the result has been this—the tenant agrees to stay on, to say nothing about the matters to others and to put up with the ghost, providing the rent is substantially reduced. Encouragement. "Why should you be despondent?" asked the poet's friend. "Why shouldn't I be despondent?" the poet replied. "I've been trying to add a bit of cheer to the world. I have written some things that men who ought to know have said were sublime. I have endeavored to describe the beauties of nature, to spread the gospel of brotherhood, to teach kindness and goodness and hopefulness. But the people persist in ignoring me; the publishers decline to accept my poems; my gonius is unrecognized; I am left to starve in my attic." "Choor up, old man. A hundred years from now your poems may be illustrated by some artist who will get $500 for each of the pictures." --- Lobsters Washed Ashore in Storm. During the recent storm, which was the worst that has swept the New Brunswick coast in a number of years, thousands of lobsters of all sizes have been washed ashore on the North Beach at Rexton. For a distance of several hundred yards a roof was formed on the shore of all sorts of fish, including an immense quantity of rock sels as well as lobsters, which fishermen say are more than all the traps would secure in a season. Thousands of birds of the sea were on the beach eating the soft part of the lobsters and loaving only the claws, which were strenued about in all directions. Although there have been many severe storms here in the past, no one recalls an event of this kind. A great many have visited the beach to watch the gulls and other birds avennously enjoying the fest for them. -Lewiston Journal. Curlove Coincidence The harvest festival was being held in Old Windsor parish church, England, and a verse in the Psalm, "Thou makest darkness and it is night," had just been reached, when all the electric lights went out. A number of candles were borrowed from neighboring houses, and these were fired upon the news, so that the service might be concluded. Words of Daniel Webster Words of Daniel Webster. If we work upon marble, it will perish; if we work upon brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon our immortal minds, if we imbue them with principles—with the just fear of God and our fellow-man—we engrave on these tablets something which will brighten to all eternity.—Daniel Webster. Baths In Schools The school board of Pittsburgh, Pa. has decided to install a system of baths in one of its school buildings. This will be for the use of the school children during the day, while the mothers will be permitted to bring children after school hours. Makes Difference in Transmission. When the telephone wires are overland the speed of transmission is at the rate of 10,000 miles a second; where the wires are through cables under the sea the speed is only 6,020 miles a second. Do You Own the Ground? "Nothing like sleeping out of doors," says a medical exchange. And we'll have to if the rise in prices reaches the rent.-Atlanta Constitution. The Sporting World Jack Taylor, a light heavyweight, at 175 pounds, was introduced at Old Fellows Hall by Kid Mondy last Wednesday night. He has a standing side bet of $200. The sporting fraternity will no doubt be grateful to Mayor Harrison for approving of boxing as a sport so long as the promoters keep within the limit of decency. Fight pictures, which have never really done any harm, will be welcome and interesting amusement for ladies in the moving picture theaters. The report that Ilia Vincent was ungrateful to his manager is all a shameful untruth. Signor Alberti claims to have brought Vincent over, but what good is a manager who has no money. Vincent was obliged to appear at the Pekin theater to keep from starving and it is an injustice to him for any newspaper to misrepresent him by what Alberti says. Weber has lost lots of money by not seeking Vincent to appear at the Alhambra. Certainly if Jack Johnson is the pugilist champion, the public don't give a rap about wrestlers, and the man deserves the money. Illa Vincent will make his first appearance at the Alhambra Theater tonight. He is to meet a wrestler by the name of Rolando, who has been after a match for some time. Vincent's match with Demetral will depend upon terms. It is not beloved that Demetral is exactly frightened at the physical end of the proposition; neither is Vincent. The Giants put one over Sunday, 10 to 0. They were going some and Mjn. Jackson and F. C. Leland are quite happy. For a great game go to Loland Giants Park, Sunday, 69th and Halsted streets. Capt. Harris says wint and see the game of June 4th, when his team will be complete and fit and ready. They will turn the trick. Attend the game Sunday afternoon. Meet old friends and make new ones while the Lelands furnish amusement for all. The Iceland Glants Booster Club meets every Saturday night at the Burlington Buffet, on State street, Those who wish to join and get ready for Flag Raising Day and the Tally-Ho party should call on the President, Mr. J. F. Bolling, or Secretary T. W. Allen. This club proposes to make life merry at the park this summer. It meets twice a week, Saturday and Sunday nights, at the Burlington. But see, the ladies did look good at Sunday's game. Chicago has the most fashionable lady baseball enthusiasts in the country. If you don't believe it, attend the game Sunday at 69th and Green streets and see for yourself. Well, Danger Talbart has put one over. He came back and says he intends to make it warm for base thieves around third. Harry Moore still has his wing and can yet play a whole lot of baseball. Bowles, the Leland's first baseman, is a coming proposition, and will be heard from in the line light of wonderful feats before the season closes. Say, come out and see Secretary Moseley's great find play short; Will Jones is his name and he is a demon, and see the Leland's hook up with Jake Welmer's Jollet aggregation. Wickware is now in great form and promises a surprise. See him in tomorrow's game; also young Hardy, who is making the willow crack. The Lelands have several new recruits in tomorrow's game. Look them over. They seem to have the makings. Sottling New Zealand. New Zealand, which has been created a dominion, was first discovered by Tasman, the Dutch navigator, in 1642, but it was hardly known prior to the visits of Capt. Cook, who, in 1769 and subsequent years, sailed round the islands, and surveyed the coasts. The first European settlement there dates from 1814, and the first systematic colonization from 1838. In 1810 England proclaimed her dominion over the islands. In 1852 a constitutional form of government was established. A Malno Record. "I think I can safely lay claim to having hauled more wood into Rockland than any other one man," says Otis Tolman of Rockville. "I have been at it sixty years, hauling an average of 200 londs a year with an average of seven feet to the load. I brought my first load into town behind a pair of steors in 1850 and sold it to the late S. H. Burpee for two dollars a cord."—Kennebec Journal. Dress by Inspiration. Painful results are produced by the fondness of women for clothing themselves in anything they happen to know others are wearing. The same forms and colors are repeated indefinitely without any regard for their fitness to the wearer. Truly intelligence in dress comes by inspiration alone and cannot be bought. 'Cello of Great Age. An old 'collo, which the owner at Mount Noorah, Victoria, sent to be repaired, was found to bear the lubel Nicolo Amatti and the date 1624. There was also found a record of the instrument having been repaired by Louis Dandoh of Versailles in 1781 for Yours XVI. The Deacent of Avernus When a man has two sets of morals, one for business and politics and the other for private and social life, we may be sure that it will not be long before he has but one, and it will be the worse of the two.—Brooklyn Engle. Improved Conditions in France. Statisticians now count on the survival to maturity of 70 out of every 100 male children born in France, instead of 67 a few years ago. Would be artistocrats in America who are wont to decorate the hats of their coachmen with cockades are probably ignorant of the fact that from a European standpoint the cockade is only used to show that the wearer is a servant of royalty. Across the water the cockade can be legally worn only by servants of royalty, including naval and military officers, diplomists, lieutenants, deputy lieutenants and high sheriffs of counties. As worn by these, the color is black. The black cockade was introduced in England by the house of Hanover, although previous thereto it had been worn in various colors. A scarlet cockade was in vogue during the time of Charles I. His son adopted white, the badge of the Jacquites, white orange was the color of William of Orange. Orange remains the color in the Netherlands, Black and white is the color in Germany, black and yellow in Australia, tricolor in France, scarlet in Spain, blue and white in Portugal—that is before the revolution—and black, red and yellow in Belgium. The word "cockade" comes from the French "cocarde," originally applied to the feathers of the cock worn by Croatian soldiers serving in the French army. Take Kaiser to Task. Emperor William of Germany is in receipt of a singular petition forwarded to Bdrlin by the Passalc (N. J.) Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It calls attention to the fact that "in the fine equestrian statue of your majesty erected at the entrance to the now railway bridge at Cologne the tail of the horse is docked." The petition sets forth that "your majesty is no doubt aware that the docking of the horse's tail constitutes one of the worst cruelties practiced on a dumb beast." It adds: "In our humble opinion it would be a mistake to leave the statue in its present form. A beautiful long tail might be put in the place of the stump. Such an alteration would not only add much to the beauty of the statue, but would also stop adverse criticism, regarding your majesty's feelings toward a humane cause." The emperor has not yet replied to the petition. Graft In German Prisons In Cologne, Germany, at a recent court trial, it was asserted that as soon as a well-dressed prisoner appeared in the prison he was buset with attentions from the wardens, all eager for his patronage. Their object was to act as middlemen between him and his relatives. They would convey letters, money and food, and for these services receive their reward from the relatives of the prisoners. Landscaper a Nature Faker. An English reviewer gravely assures us that Landseer's famous painting, "Eagles Attacking Swans," is based on an entirely false assumption. Eagles do not battle with swans or other quarry. They strike or pounce upon their prey and never descend to vulgar brawling. This is a handsome compliment to the eagle, but a sad blow for art. Treat Marclage Lightly. In Samoa the wife's tenure of office is frequently lipted to a few days or weeks, and marriage is sometimes only an excuse for the feasts and festivals so dear to the hearts of the pleasure-loving natives.

This one is on Ralph Cole, Ohio member of congress, who did his heat to make his district go Republican, but who cannot point to any particular howling success in that regard. At one town in his district he was to divide his time with a local ambassador. The local man spoke first, and was to have kept going for half an hour, but he made it an hour and a half. Who got through he made an apology encouraging on Cole's time. "It reminds me," Cole said, as he faced his audience, "of what I once heard in a courtroom. The defendant had been found guilty of a criminal charge. The judge sentenced him to 18 years. 'Have you anything to say?' demanded the court of the prisoner. 'Nothing but this,' was the reply. 'I think you're mighty damned liberal with another man's time.'" Then Cole turned loose and coaxed back the departing audience by the flow of his wonderful oratory.—Clincluhn Times-Star. Smuggled Bracelet in Photograph. Of emugging tricks there is no end. The Bangor (Me.) customs officials had a new dodge spring on them one day recently in an attempt to get a gold bracelet through without the payment of duty. Some one took a number of cabinet photographs, but before tying them together to make them appear as a bundle of photos he carefully hollowed put a hole in the center and deposited the bracelet therein. A superficial examination of the package would have caused one to think that it was simply a bundle of photographs and allowed it to proceed without question. Diplomatlc Rebuke tittle known story of the Jewish ha in Portugal is told of King Joseph I. of that country. On one occasion the king ordered that all Portuguese who were in any way allied to or descended from the Hobrow race should wear yellow hats. The old Marquis de Pombal, then minister in chief, shortly afterward appeared at court with three, yellow hats under his arm. The king smiling, asked him: "What are you doing with those?" The marquis replied: "I have them in obedience to the majesty's command, for I really do not know a single Portuguese of note who has not Jewah blood in his veins." "But, insisted the king, 'why three hats?' "One is for myself," answered the marquis, "one for the inquisitor gonial by your side, and one is, in case majesty should desire to be arsed."

The sudden death in New York of Sir Cliffton Robinson, "the traction king," was being discussed in a New York club. "Sir Cliffton Robinson," said a New York man, "built miles and miles of street railways in this country. He liked this country. He especially liked our young man. "I once heard him say that our young men were not mercenary—that it was practically unknown for an American young man to marry for money. But a young forlgnet, he declared, would marry his grandmother if there was a hundred a year in it. "A Chicago woman on a liner, he said, once remarked: "Yes, Molab was engaged to be married to a landsmone young count she met in Budapest last summer; but there was a cruel misunderstanding." "Indeed, how was that?" asked another woman. "The count," she said, "un despoiled her father was a multiln mill." Blinded by Alcohol Eumes A man who worked in a small room tightly closed to prevent the entrance of dust while doing some painting became perfectly blind from the effect of wood alcohol, which was contained in the staining fluid and varnish he used. Mourning Checks. "What do you think I received the other day from a woman recently bereaved?" said a business man. "Nothing less than a check heavily bordered with black, just the same as mourning stationery. I didn't know that the etiquette of grief had invaded the domain of finance, but it seems that this is the case. Heart Interest: Men love naturally all that comes from the heart, all that is great, all that dazzles, and even all that is strange. A heroic act or a sage act of generosity moves them infallibly and provokes their enthusiasm. They see these acts; they do not see the justice in the heart of the Just.—Jules Simon.

Men sit and argue about the difficulty experienced by players in fielding in former years, the days before gloves were used on the infield or in the out. And they claim that players have it so much easier today because their hands are protected by gloves. The stars of years gone by have nothing on Owen Bush, Nap Lajoie, Hans Wagner, Matty McIntyre and other star players. They all do their best fielding while wearing gloves through which the bare hand protrudes. Were it not for habit, these same players might just as well be playing without gloves. Scattering Notes of the Diamond FEW AGREE ON CLOSE PLAYS Always Division of Opinion Among Players Bitting on Bench—Scorer is Criticised. Ball players will always find objections to the scorer who sits in the press box. No matter whether that scorer has a sublime knowledge of baseball or whether he is just tackling the rudiments of the game, he'll draw the criticism just the same. The player says the scorer knows less than nothing about the game, and The Millers are still a pretty good team in the American association. Joe Cantillon already has them going at their last year's clip. Ludersm would look much better to the Chicago fans if he was still a member of the West side team. Jimmy Single, who resigned his place with the Baltimore Orioles this spring, is now a Chicago business man and lives on the West side. Konetchy, the tall first-sacker of the Cardinals, is able to stop the ball if it comes within ten feet of him without taking his foot off the bag. Rube Waddell is showing that although his arm is not good enough for the majors he can keep the militors in subjection with it. Although third baseman are said to be scarce as hons' teeth, Fred Tenny has three of them. Frank Schulte keeps up his reputation as a slugger. Hal Chinso's men appear to be living up to predictions. Gessler is finding his batting eye and says he will have a good season. and says he will have a good season. A glance at the percentage column shows some familiar names in the second division. Jimmy McAleer is trying to demonstrate the inaccuracy of the assertion that his rise with the Washington team last year was a mistake. Ralph Pond, the college speed boy, who promised to make a sensation with the Boston Red Sox, but didn't and was released to Sacramento, says he doesn't like the west and wants to play with Brockton, Mass. Dr. Andy Conkley, the former major league pitcher, who was recently reinstated is coaching the Williams College baseball squad. Conkley says he will stick to the coaching game and play independent ball in the future. Manager Kittridge of the Saginaw, Mich., team is giving a try-out to a youngster named Fryer who is only 17 years old. He is a left-handed pitcher and last year, then but 16 years old, pitched some fina ball in New York state semi-pro ranks. Another Italian has broken into the game. He is Tony Citrano, an amateur of Baltimore, who gets a trial with the Orlates. One chief joy of the bleachers is that the man who couldn't hit a barn with a hammer, nor throw a fit, is able from that point of vantage to call a five-thousand-dollar pitcher a "mutt." Frank Selse, the great baseball leader and scout, who brought out two world pennant winners, dug up Roy Corhan. Selse was impressed with young Corhan's folding. Several others have been impressed by the same thing since he went to the White Sox. Joe McGinnity is finding that Giant tactics are not relished in the Eastern league. Walter Johnson does not appear to have anything on the star pitchers of both leagues so far this season. Evidently Harry Steinfeldt's declaration that he would remain out of the national pastime was in earnest. He probably beloves making pans is better than being "manned." Gregg made a strikeout record on the coast last year. Recruit pitchers are making the most of their opportunities to shine until the veterans get into form. Terry Turner is playing third for the Clevelanders as well as he ever played short. His arm was all in last year, but he evidently has come back to life this year with a vengeance. by have nothing on Owen Bush, Nap Lajoie, Haus Wagner, Matty McNehy and other star players. They all do their best fielding while wearing gloves through which the bare hand protrudes. Were it not for habit, these same players might just as well be playing without gloves. lways Division of Opinion Among Players Sitting in Bench— Chelsea Chelsea Chelsea Ball players will always find objections to the scorer who sits in the press box. No matter whether that scorer has a sublime knowledge of baseball or whether he is just tackling the rudiments of the game, he'll draw the criticism just the same. The player says the scorer knows less than nothing about the game, and the scorer, a bit more charitable, says the players know nothing about scoring, so there you are. Truth of the matter is that few men will agree on a close play. There is always a divided opinion. Just to show how ball players themselves are unable to agree with one another, although they blame the scorers for not agreeing with them, take an incident one day this spring at Memphis. The Tigers had an off day and attended a game between the Cubs and Memphis teams. Cobb and Mortlarty were sented in the front row with score cards. Some of the things that happened: In the first inning a Cub batter lined the ball into left. The outfielder hesitate a fraction of a second, after which he torre in after the ball. It hit his gloved hand about a foot above the ground. "Lift," said Cobb. "That was an error," judged Morrarty. "Why was it?" "He ought to have had it." "Nothing of the kind, 'Morrie.' That ball was a bad one and low, and he only got one hand on it anyway." "He didn't judge it quick, did he? He misjudged it, and he had time to get both hands on it if he had started Capt. Morlarity of Detroit. right away; which he didn't. It's an error with me." "Well it goes as a hit here." Two or three other plays came up during the afternoon, and in only one instance did the two scorers agree. Every other close play brought a division in opinion. Twenty Games Enough No pitcher should be asked to work in over 20 games in the major league these days. This is the opinion of Walter Johnson, the great Washington twirler, regarded by many as one of the greatest students of the modern game. He says he intends to practice what he preaches this year, and that no more than 20 games will be chalked up for or against him. Defends Strong Man Title. F. H. Leslie of Milton, Mass., subtitle football player, carried off the honors as Harvard's strongest man for the second time, according to the figures, for the annual strength test compiled the other night. His total of points was 1813.1 or 41 more than his total last year. Eight of the ten leading men in the strength test are football players. TOUGHS AT NEW YORK GAMES Spectators Are: Annoyed by; Rowdyism and Police Will Be Asked to Preserve Order. Complaints of rowdyism indulged in by spectators at the two opening games of the New York baseball season may result in the assignment of a large squad of policemen to keep order at the big league grounds hereafter. On both days the hoodlums were causing disturbances, according to the complaints received by the management. Many women were struck with paper balls bigger than their heads, or by paper clubs rolled thick. Their escorts, who tried to ward off the attacks while making slow progress toward reserved or empty seats, were beaten with these improvised bludgeons until their hats were smashed and in some cases noses were bleeding. The spectacle afforded by a hundred or more men and boys pelting a woman and her escort with newspapers, peanut shells, cigar butts and tobacco quids is not relished by the manage mont and steps will be taken, it is announced, to persuade the police to take a hand. The ball game crowds formerly were patrolled by regular police, but these were withdrawn a year ago owing to criticism of their assignment to this "private work," and special officers hired by the management were substituted. These special officers have been unable to cope with the rowdy element. Application will therefore be made for a return of the old system. CANNOT FORGET THE TIGERS "Kid" Elberfeld, in Reminiscent Moment, Says Public Too Often Overlocks Good Play. "In figuring the responsibility for a baseball defeat or the credit for a victory," said "Kid" Elberfeld in a reminiscent moment, "the general public too often overlooks the play or the incident, through which success or failure came, and credits or blames some player who really should never have had a chance to decide the result. They don't go back for enough to note how the play should have been switched. "I wank in one of the two most famous finishes the American league has had, playing shortstop for the Highlanders in 1904, when we lost the pennant to Boston on the closing day of the season, through being beaten in the first number of a double-header. That game has gone into baseball history as the one in which a wild pitch lost a pennant. As a matter of fact, Chebrood did toss the chances for the flag when a 'splitter' got away from him, went by Jack Kleinnow to the stand and let Lou Criger score from second base with the winning run. "But we lost that pennant three ways, and two of them had nothing to do with this particular game. It never should have been necessary for us to take either game of this doubleheader to become champions. The flag should have been won long before that. It might have been had it not been for Washington. That team, always down at the bottom of the column, started us down hill just when we were being halled as the coming champions. It was the old story of a team that didn't count at all killing the chances of a better club. "The same thing happened to us again in the fall of 1906, when, after we had given the White Sox an awful beating on their own lot, going into the lead with only eight 5 Kid Eiberfeld. more games to play, Detroit, which finished seventh that year, took three straight from us and won the flag for Fielder Jones. Last year, you will recall, Detroit in turn had the same sort of luck. When St. Louis handed it a beating in an eight-game series, through which Jennings expected to go into the lead. Doin Signa Contract Charley Doolen, manager of the Philios, has signed a new three-year contract as manager and player, calling for a graduated scale ranging from $7,000 to $15,000 a year. Should Doolen's club win the pennant he will receive the higher amount—while a finish in the second division will mean $7,000.

Mount Glenwood Cemetery Association Old Timber Stronger Than New Which is the stronger, a piece of sound old timber or a piece of new? We think it probable that the majority of engineers would say that the new timber was the stronger. In other case, however, the opinions would be more guesswork, for there has been hitherto, so far as we recall, no authentic information on this point. This lack is now supplied in a paper by Mr. C. P. Buchanan, in which he shows as a result of careful tests, that sound timber a quarter of a century old is materially stronger than new stock. Mr. Buchanan's tests were made on white pine, but there is no reason to suppose that oak, hard pine or any other wood commonly used in building would behave differently. It is fair to conclude that all wood maintains its strength, except as decay weakens it or fire and mechanical abrasion destroy it—Engineering News. New Style In Names Rev. Dr. Henry van Dyke urges patroltol American to name their children after the states and the nation. He commends, in this respect, the South Americans, who use Columbia, America and many attractive Latin derivatives of famous names connected with the history of the western world. The president of Ecuador has three daughters, and they are called America; Quita, the feminine of the capital city of Ecuador, and Castilla, after the ancient race from which the Latins are proud to derive their origin. Years ago Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri, Indiana and other euphonious names were popular for girls. Now such a name solidum is heard. A decline of patroltol and state pride, thinks Doctor van Dyke. Chinese Will Take Part Dresden is planning for an exposition devoted to the cause of bygone sports and their allied interests. According to advance information this exposition, which hitherto has not been very much talked about, is likely to surprise by its perfection of detail and architectural beauty—as might be expected of Dresden. That the exposition will be worldwide in its scopa is evinced by the fact that the executive committee has just received plans from the Chinese for the erection of an imposing Chinese section. It is proposed to erect a large hall for this purpose, and an imposing pagoda will be erected as a demonstration: of Chinese architectural development.

Cemetery Association A New York locturer in a recent address undertook to demonstrate that some of the practices of immigrants in this country, which are troublesome to the authorities, have their origin in the best intentions and may be costly corrected when the requirement of the American environments are made clear to the new arrivals. To illustrate his point he told an interesting story. A certain immigrant mother of numerous offspring was several times halted to court and fined for hurling her ashes into the city street on which she lived, says the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin. With philosophic sublimation to arbitrary governmental tyranny she paid her fines and wont her way. Finally, a charitable person, explained to her, in her own tongue why she should not throw her ashes into the street. It then appeared that in the little Polish village whence she came she and her neighbors had been requested by a local authority to throw their ashes into the road by way of impromptu street building. Then he related a contrasting anecdote as follows: "I once heard one of the founders of the City Club say that when he came of age he asked his excellent father to give him some idea of what might be his duties as a full-fledged citizen of this great city. His father replied: "My son, as a gentleman and the son of a gentleman, all you need know of municipal procedure is that in order to have your ashes properly cared for you must bribe the asman." Who says the United States is not enlightening the world? The manufacture of what is called American-style furniture has become an important industry in Spain, where the people have a great liking for the product. This country was the pioneer in turning out attractive furniture at moderate prices, as it has been the leader in many other innovations that have contributed to domestic comfort and enjoyment, and the others are catching on. It is reaching the point where that sincerely flattery which takes the form of imitation in becoming more and more pronounced. American ideas are being adopted everywhere. The biggest submarine yet built is the Seal, which was launched at Newport News, Va., the other day. She is classed as a "cruiser," and is 181 feet long. The Seal, it is expected, will be capable of making long trips under water and is so well equipped that she will not be conveyed by a fighting craft on the surface, as is now usually the case. The submarine "cruiser" will be a unique addition to the American navy. When the proposed aeroplanes are constructed for the same branch of national defense it would seem that our navy would lack nothing for service on, under or over the water. Has Books of Many Kinds.

Who Wish to Keep Abreast the Society News Watch this rumn. By special Correspondent of Chicago, Incl. Lexington, Mo., May 12. - The musical concert given at the Grand A. M. E. Church last Friday night by Miss Alle Truman and the choir was extraordinarily fine. A large crowd was present. B. Allen, Misses M. Johnson, and B. Webb sang sweetly. But that cute little Eva M. Hunter tried to knock the whole thing to pieces. Her voice is just excellent and to hear her you would think she was the only canary bird in the cage, for she can certainly sing. Mr. Britt Nelson and Miss Anna B. Webb did their part well, but that sweet little song Mr. Nelson sang to Miss Webb was very touching and catchy. Miss Webb certainly was a peach dressed in her white silk dress and her hair fixed up in the latest style. Why, she was the sweetest looking girl in the whole bunch. Miss Freeman rendered some fine music and everybody was well pleased with the concert. Bird Douglass and Austin Hancock were the clowns of the whole bunch. Prof. G. H. Green made a brief talk concerning the education of the young Negro, which was received with many claps and cheers. We wish to return our heartfelt thanks to Miss Freeman and all who took part in the concert. Long may they live to do honor and good deeds for the uplift of the race. We are not all asleep; some of the young people of Lexington are going to be somebody in spite of what is said of them. Let the good work go on, as it is very much needed in Lexington, yours truly. J. H. Arnold reporter. (Notice)—The C. W. Parker Amusement Co., of Abalone, Kans., will be a Lexington Monday, May 22, and stay until Saturday, May 27th.

J. H. Arnold, 15 conston street, Lexington, Mo. The dancing class of Lexington is pretty well bustled up since the reporter had such a hot piece published about them. They have been stopped from using the Masonic Hall as a ballroom, and it is a God's blessing that they have. This dancing business is ausing lots of our young people to be and be lost by living a fast and edgeless life; but still, some of our honoured Christians allow their sons of daughters to dance in their homes, using seems to stop them, but some (Uncle Davie) is going to makeings pretty hot for them, and when e Devil gets hold of some of our ung and old people it's going to be times in the pitts of h—ll, for at is the place all dancers will go, that are you going to tell Mass Peter ten you meet him at the gates of javen. We are very sorry to know that me people never will learn any tuners. A certain young lady sat in church last Sunday morning and kissed, laughed, etc., while services ere going on. We wonder if Miss — G. ever went to school. If so we ought to learn to have some self-pect for the house of God, as it is talking or laughing gallery. Not my Miss — G. but everybody else that have no mammers. (Listen)—There is a certain married man who is always running after unmarried young women. This man insulted a certain young girl a few days ago. Just what he said to her is not fit to be published. This man has wife of his own and is always meddling with some mother's daughter who is unmarried. The young girl whom he insulted is only 17 years of age. She is not a street loafer, but she stands high in the community in which she lives. Her name will not be pub- labeled. John wrote a letter to the reporter telling him of the insult this dirty, lowdown, scoundrel put upon her. It would be a good thing if some one would fill this dirty scoundrel full of lead with a good shotgun. There are too many married men running after our girls. If these men would support their wives and families they would not have time to run around after unmarried girls. Some of our girls are so run after by men that a steel rope could not hold them from them. Some of our men have no more respect for a girl or woman than a hog has for a rattlesnake. Any decent, self-respecting woman or girl should be allowed to kill any dirty scoundrel that would attempt to insult them. This thing is going to cause trouble and it should be stopped at once. What to think about it is enough to arouse any one's passions. Our girls and young women should and must be protected from such dirty, lowdown men and the sooner it is done the better it will be for the race. Yours truly, Mr. J. H. Arnold. Mr. Archie Washington returned home to Lexington, Mo., Sunday evening, May 7th, from Kansas City, Mo., where he has been spending the winter with his two daughters, Miss Beatle Kings and Mrs. M. D. Scott, Everybody is glad to see Mr. Washington at home again. He is looking well. Mrs. Matilda Mathews went to Kansas City, Mo., Sunday morning, May 7th, to see her daughter, who is said to be very sick at the hospital in Windsat, Kansas.

Seven letters have been sent to the reporter with news not fit to be published. The persons sending them failed to sign their names, so be careful. Everything around about Lexington is looking beautiful. Flowers are in bloom; grass is all green, and the colored people are fixing up their property and living like good, honest people. Mr. John Walker, one of our prominent young men, has painted his beautiful home on 16th street. He is a bustling young man and is highly respected by both white and colored people. Go ahead, John, you know your business. MAKE FAST TIME ON SKATES French Engineer's Invention Permits of Speed of Over Thirty Miles an Hour. A new form of roller skate, the invention of M. Louis Marchaud, a young French engineer, will shortly be seen on this slide, a large quantity of them having been imported for the present season. These skates, which resemble nothing more than miniature bicycles, weigh 25 pounds each, and work automatically. They have thick pneumatic tires and the wheels, of which there are two on each skate, are 12 inches in diameter. Thirty miles an hour can easily be made by an unexperienced skater with these skates. The skate is clamped to the shoe, and when the foot is raised a spring is automatically wound up around a specially constructed gear attached to the rear wheel. When the foot is put to the ground the pressure releases the spring, unwinds the gear, and revolves the rear wheel at a great rate. Nearly 900 revolutions a minute are thus produced. Was Clothed In Tobacco A priest has been arrested at Agnin court, on the Franco-Belgian frontier for smuggling. His luggage was full of cigars, and when he was stripped he was found to be wearing around his body a layer of tobacco and cigar over an inch in thickness. The man was clothed in tobacco, and 2,000 cigars were taken from the layer.

People in Bleak Northern Country Know What's Going on in the World. A traveler in Iceland says that he journeyed more than fifty miles from the capital, Reykjavik, and saw but two or three farms in all that distance. "During all this time," he says in the Youth's Companion, "I had not seen a sapling as big as a stalk of cat- o'nine-tails. Extinct volcanoes sur- rounded us on every side. Dust storms swept down from their scarred sides. Distant gleams of glittering ice from the glaciers dazzled us when the sun shone upon them. "But here, in a land where there is almost no fuel, and where few crops besides hay and turnips can be raised, in the land of the midnight sun in summer and the midday moon in winter, I found books and cheerful conversation, an outlook on life, and a knowledge of current events which I have not always found in populous cities. "There are no schools, to be sure, outside of Reykjavik and one or two other small towns, for children cannot walk ten miles each way to a schoolhouse, and even such a schoolhouse would accommodate but two or three families. But the itinerant pedagogue goes about from house to house, carrying his store of learning with him, and leaving behind much intellectual stimulus and a desire to know what is going on beyond the bounds of the island. "They were great chess players in the lonely farmhouse where we stayed and they were keen to play with us. Although my companion considered himself a fair chess player he was gennomiliously beaten by the angular lady of the household. They had a Bible too and an icelandic hymn book. We went away from our short visit to the lonely farmhouse of the Sog with the impression that the home life in the typical farms of iceland might well be envied by dwellers in more favored climes." HIS READY WIT WON PLACE Under Prefecture in French Government Goes to Young Man With Smart Tongue. There is now in the French Chamber as attache of one of the Ministerial departments a young man who owes his position to his native smartness. He went up to Paris with a letter of introduction to a minister and was received in the stereotyped fashion. He turned up at the department daily. At length the minister noted his pertinacity and by way of saying something asked the young man if he would like to have his photograph. The present was accepted and the minister overwhelmed with thanks. After receiving the photograph the young man absented himself altogether from the bureau. Two months elapsed and then there was a chance meeting in the street. The minister smiling, asked the sutor the cause of his prolonged absence. "Mon Dlou, monsieur le Ministre," was the reply, "I had your photograph and spoke to it, and that was enough for me." "And what did my photograph do for you? What favor?" inquired the minister. "Oh, nothing, absolutely nothing," was the quick reply, "exactly as the original, so I knew the resemblance was perfect." The next day this youth of enterprise received his appointment, and he is said to be named for an under prefecture. Clean Food.

Should be Warning to Man With Weakness for Penny Arcade Photographs. Should you feel a desire to visit a summer garden or a penny arcade and experiment by having yourself photographed in a ridiculous pose, remember the fate of Horace E. Todd, candymaker and formerly the husband of Beulah Todd. Beulah Todd was granted a divorce last week by Judge Goodrich. She said that Todd was addicted to drink. "And the proof?" the court suggested. Beulah Todd drew from her purse a photograph postal card. It appeared to be a photograph of Horace E. Todd; his cheeks were puffed, his hair dishovelled, his collar unbuttoned, and his necktie untied. In one hand he held a five-dollar bill, in the other hand, four aces. Beneath the picture there appeared this line: "A millionaire today; a tramp tomorrow." "Is that a picture of your husband?" the court asked. "It is." "Divorce granted," the court decided. And Mrs. Todd, tucking the postal card safely away in her purse, walked from the courtroom.—Kansas City Star. RISE OF MORGAN DYNASTY Foundation of Fortune Lald by Ancestor Who Fought in Washington's Army. Most of our wealthy men started in small ways. Carnegie was a messenger boy. Rockefeller tramped the streets to get a petty clerical job. H. H. Rogers and Russell Sage were grocer's clerks. Harriman was a broker's office boy. James J. Hill was a section hand, or something like that. But four generations of the Morgans have been born in the purple, so to speak. The Morgan dynasty runs back to the days of the American revolution. Joseph Morgan, after fighting in Washington's army, proceeded to lay the fortune of the house. It did not take him long to rise to the control of the chief transportation lines in Connecticut. They were nothing but stage lines, but they were worth controlling just the same. Later on he figured as one of the capitalists of the Aetna Fire Insurance company of Hartford. His grandson is J. Pierpont Morgan, Br., and young J. P. is of course, his greatgrandson. Of all the multimillionaires of our day, Morgan the elder remains the most inscrutable. All the others, Rookefeller, Harriman, Rogers and the rest have at one time or another thawed out in the presence of the newspaper and magazine men. Morgan has never thawed out. His personality is as far removed from public scrutiny now as it was when he was the center of the whirlwind contest with Jay Gould forty years ago.—Current Literature.

Religious Revival in South Carolina Scene of Remarkable Episode. Speechless for Three Years Man Finds Voice Suddenly Restored—Men Make Affidavit to Strange Cure at Baptist Revival Services. Charleston, S. C.—Thomas Drayton Poore of Oconee county, who gradually lost his voice and had not been able to utter an articulate sound for three years, has recovered in an instant, it is said, the full power of speech while hundreds looked on and prayed. Poore is a well-to-do planter and real estate operator. He has been for many years a lending member of the Baptist church in Westminster, and his word, his neighbors unite in saying is thoroughly trustworthy. Mr. Poore early in 1908 began to be troubled with nervous symptoms. They rapidly progressed, and in February of that year his voice began to fall. He had been a public speaker, and for many years had been accustomed to sing in the church, his tones being unusually strong and clear. None of the physicians summoned was able to stop the malady, which it was decided was due to a rare type of nervous indigestion. By December, 1908, Mr. Poore's voice was so nearly gone that on the 18th of that month he could no longer even whisper. A day or so later even the medical attendants gave the case up as hopeless. Several weeks ago revival services were inaugurated in the Westminster Baptist church under the leadership of the Rev. S. E. Stephens, a returned missionary. The meetings proved full of religious fervor from the start, and THE CHRISTIAN CHORUS Gave a Shout of Joy and Began to Sing. soon the community was in the midst of an old-fashioned "awakening." Poore was a steady attendant at the services and several times he asked in writing that his brethren and sisters in the church pray that he might have his voice restored. Finally there came a night when the excitement at the revival seemed to be less than usual, there was not, at least so much loud singing and praying, though it is said it was remarked at the time there was deeper and more intense feeling than before. The revivalist requested those present to send to him, written out on slips of paper, the things they most urgently desired. "It may be the will of Providence to restore your sneech to you at this time," said an older of the church to Poore. The latter accordingly wrote out a request to that effect and passed it up to the pastor. At the same time he made known the substance of his message to those ground him and all joined with the minister in praying in his behalf. Then there was a brief interval of silent prayer, on the part of the entire audience. Everything was still in the church when Planter Poore stood up, gave a shout of joy and began to sing. The others in the church stared in wonder, then in awe. Then, with one accord, they rose and joined Poore in singing "Nearer My God to Thee." Those who were there say the congregation nearly went wild with excitement, some of them running out with the cry "a miracle! a miracle!" Poore ran to the pulpit and poured out his thanks for the restoration of his voice. The news spread and by the next morning people were docking into Westminster from pretty much all over Oceanoe county. Afidavits telling of the circumstances under which the planter found his voice have been made and are now a part of the public records. Chicken Has Four Legs, Colt Six. St. Louis.-Henry Blen of 127 South Lincoln street, Belleville, has a three-years-old chicken possessed of four legs. Two of them are for actual use and the other two seem ornamental. The chicken is a Rhode Island red. A colt which was born in Paul Brown's stable at 800 South Fourth street was built more like a clothes horse than the ordinary equine quadruped. It had six legs. Just when Brown was figuring on cleaning up all the stakes on the trotting circuit the sexpedallian steed lay down and died. Whale Found in River.
