Edw. D. Green, and that peerless champion of all the people—the real leader—"the power behind the throne"—or any other phrase that will describe the Governor, the Hon. Charles S. Deneen. In this period in the history of the State "when the people rule," it is encouraging to the rank and file to see the efforts of its leader crowned with so much success. Gov. Charles S. Deneen. That Governor Deneen is the champion of "all the people" is evinced by the many splendid laws enacted by the now famous "17th" and the interest evidenced everywhere for the latest news from Springfield. Governor Deneen has the happy faculty of getting results. The business-like methods that characterized his administration as State's Attorney has been one of his chief assets as Governor. Add to this his thorough knowledge of the likes and dislikes of his constituents and you have a fair likeness of the most resourceful and diplomatic Governor Illinois has had in many days. Of considerable interest, and I may say pleasure, to the readers of The Chicago Defender has been the Governor's friendly attitude toward our only representative, Hon. Edw. D. Green. Private advices show that the Governor has always been deeply interested in the bills of Mr. Green and his sincere colleague, Mr. OLD KENTUCKY HOME Ky-Kiel! the Home of Beautiful Women, Fine Sky, and Fast Horses, Turning Attention to Education and Conventions.

Commencement at the Normal Schools and State University Brings Many Strangers to the City. Cap and Gown Abound on Every Side. Mrs. Mamie Stewart, Dean of Music, Makes Great Hit as Teacher, John Johnson Makes Great Class Day Orator. By J. Fenton Johnson Louisville, Ky., May 19.—Louisville is now the mecca of the educators and colored baptists of Kentucky and adjoining states. State university is celebrating her thirty-second commencement. Almost fifty young men and women enter the vista of life, equipped with the best education that Kentucky can afford them. Prof. A. E. Meyzeck, principal of City Normal school, receives the degree of master of arts. Mrs. Mamio E. Stoward, dean of the music school, who is rapidly becoming a national figure in woman's affairs, has given two creditable musical entertainments as part of the commencement. Her long service May 7 was very artistic and the University chapel, packed beyond endurance, was unusually enthusiastic in applauding her. Friday, May 12, Mrs. Stoward was greeted by the same large crowd and her pupils, led by Miss Josephine Smill, a music The Chicago Defender. Noble B. Judah. Few know what a splendid thing it was when the House beat the Initiative and Referendum proposition. You will understand, however, when I tell you that this is one of the most dangerous pieces of legislation against the host interests of our race ever introduced in this State, next to the Constitutional Convention resolution, which will come Hon. Ed. D. Green. up in the near future. Mr. Green and Mr. Judah worked with might and main to defeat both propositions. As to the Constitutional Convention Mr. Green is fighting this proposition for the reason that they might do us like they did in Oklahoma. Everyone knows what was done there. The danger in the Initiative and Referendum, beaten the night of May 3rd, after a desperate 12-hour fight, is that proposed laws must be submitted to "the people" for a vote of approval before enactment by the General Assembly. After its passage by the Legislature it must be referred to "the people" again for adoption. Without such a champion the days of our race getting laws in our interest would be over. The people of Illinois admire men "who do things." Hon. Charles S. Deneen is the "man of the hour," a grateful people stand ready to honor him with the best gift in its power at the proper time. Neither will the tactful and resourceful representative of the First District be forgotten when the sugar plums are handed out. TWO CUTS. rendered some very difficult selections. Mrs. Steward is a woman of remarkable energy, and it is no wonder that she is talked of as the next president of the N. A. C. W. Sunday, May 11, the president proached the baccalaurate sermon. Monday night Prof. Meyzeck delivered the contents of his theme before the literary societies of the university. Prof. Meyzeck's address was very scholarly, and marked him as one of the foremost Negro educators in Kentucky and probably the middle west. Tuesday evening the undergraduates met in the University chapel and, under the direction of the faculty, conducted a program of orations and musical selections, according to the various classes of the different schools and colleges. Mr. John William Johnson, a junior in the normal school, in an oration on "Reciprocity," said: "I am glad that I belong to a race that has a problem instead of a race that has roses strown in its path." That is the sentiment that I have been trying to impress those students who come under my charge. On Wednesday night the alumni met and listened to an interesting address delivered by Rev. J. C. Fields of Nashville, an alumnus of both the College of Arts and the Theological Seminary. The alumni boast of several college professors, secondary teachers, physicians and ministers. Hon. Charles Stewart, the well known newspaper correspondent and humorist, is one of the body, and visited the school a few months ago, being accorded a grand welcome by the faculty and students. Thursday evening the graduating exercises were held at Mcaulay's theater, the leading Louisville playhouse. The spacious auditorium was packed and for once in the history of Louisville there was no Jim Crow law in a white theater. The faculty and graduates in caps and gowns marched from the university campus to the theater amid the deafening applause of the bystanders. In three hours the race received more A. B.'s and M. D.'s and one Master of Arts. State university was founded in 1879 by two colored Baptists of Kentucky, prominent among whom was CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1911. the Hon. Wm. H. Steward, Mr. Steward is the leader of Kentucky Negroes, a vice president of Booker Washington's Business League, and chairman of the Board of Trustees of State university. State university, since the Berea incident, is the only school in Kentucky that affords a college education to Negro youth. It is supported entirely by Negro money, and those who have race pride should contribute something to the welfare of this worthy institution. It needs endowed professorships, laboratories, a library and a men's dormitory. Chicago, rich with her opportunities, should aid her brethren in Kentucky for the cause of higher education. The heads of the various colleges and schools are: Dean of College of Arts, J. H. Hubert; Dean of Theological Seminary, M. B. Lander; Principal of Normal School, Carolyn A. Steward; Dean of Music School, Mannio E. Steward; Dean of Domestic Science College, M. B. Anderson; Principal of Dressmaking School, Alloce Crutchor; Principal of Normal Preparatory, Mrs. M. B. Lander; Principal Emeritus, T. S. Ballon. The Negro colleges in the South are undergoing a renaissance. This is due to the young blood that is being grafted into southern faculties. State university is now undergoing a revolution that will place her as one of the greatest Negro colleges. Her curriculum is very rigid and thorough, and those who cannot go to the universities in Chicago and Evanson should consider State college. WALLACE POLDOW Wins Color Line Suit. Let Our People Keep Up the Fight for Their Rights in All Public Places. Special to the Chicago Dealer. Lima, O., May 19.—A case which invades the right of our people here to attend a moving picture show was tried in the local courts last week, resulting in the filing of the proprietor, W. L. Backenko (white). Wallace Poldow started to enter his theater when he was refused admittance on account of his color and at once brought suit under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights' law governing discrimination against persons in public places because of their race, etc. Costs and fine aggregate over $100. Good! Let us people keep up this good work, and it will not be long until much of the present day color line hysteria in public places will be wiped out. GALA DAY FOR G. U. O. OF O. F. Annual Thanksgiving Service of the Order at Quinn Chapel Sunday Last an Imposing Affair. BIG STREET PARADE Should Have Carried Out First Idea, and Assembled In a Larger Place, as Many Menbers Could Not Get In. Households Make a Record for Attendance and Are Praised by Grand Master Morris. By J. Hockley Smiley. Those in charge of the arrangements for the first annual 'Thanksgiving services of the Grand United Order of Old Fellows of Chicago, held at Quinn Chapel Sunday afternoon last, should have carried out their first blen and engaged a larger place, provided for too small for this organization, that Grand Master Morris says "is the largest organization of color in the world." Those competent to judge declare that several hundred members of the order could not gain admittance. The services were unusually interesting. Ex-National District Grand Master Solomon Taylor presided, being introduced by the chairman, J. W. Womack, P. M. V. P. Impressiveness was given the service in the early part when Master of Ceremonies Taylor asked the entire audience to stand up for three minutes in silent reverence to "Mother," it being "Mothers' day" throughout the United State. Mr. Reed, a blind musician, presided at the organ. The singing numbers were selected for the occasion and wore well rendered. As usual National Grand Master Morris's address was one of the features of the program. District Guard M. N. G. Nora F. Taylor also spoke. An interesting talker, this popular representative of the Households incidentally won now laurels. Rev. J. H. Calls delivered the sermon. The Households of Ruth turned out in unprecedented numbers, as did the Patrilarchy. The Households were warmly praised by the National Grand Master in his remarks. The parade from the hall to the church drew the usual large crowds and was declared a success by those in charge. MRS. M. J. WARD PETTIS BURNED BY GASOLINE EXPLORATION BY GASOLINE EXPLOSION. Mrs. Pottis, better known as Mrs. Ward, 3213 State St., was burned badly about her face and hands on Wednesday last when a two gallon gasoline tank exploded and set her house on fire. That she was not burned alive is a miracle, as the entire back portion of the house was gutted. Her loss will amount to $500.00. She is a member of the Choral Study Club, being one of its charter members. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON SPEAKS AT BLACK-STONE HOTEL AND Y. M. C. A. BANQUET. $5,000 FOR LOVE,SONG Alfred Anderson and De Koven Thompson in Limelight of Music World — Unknowns Drop from Musical Sky so Suddenly the Musical Hearts of Music Lovers Stop for a Moment—Though Railroad Porter, Found Time to Write Greatest Song of Modern Times on Train as He Worked. MADE NOTES WHILE ON TRAIN. Mme. Schumann-Heink Rubber-Neoking at Porter in Corner Writing Instead of Looking Out Window, Attracts Great Singer, Who Ask Him to Let Her See—He Did, and She Saw a Pearl—Told Him She Must Sing the Greatest Ballad Ever Written by Any Human Hand "If I Forget" the Name of the Song—Composers Are Dumfounded Over Success. The old adage, "There is always room at the top," was amply exemplified this week when Do Kovenn Thompson, armed with his latest composition and the push and energy so characteristic of Chicagoans, approached Madnoa Schumann Helink as she waited in her Pull car at the northwestern depot and asked if she would kindly look over his latest effort. This she gladly consented to do, and when he returned ten minutes later the greatest prima in the world greeted him with, "This song is perfectly beautiful" (holding in her hand "If I Forget"), and if you will send immediately to my home I will take great pleasure in singing it both in this country and abroad. My husband here will give you my address." Thus, in a few moments, was the success of the writers and the song assured. The Chicago press have devoted columns to the incident, and we understand Alfred Anderson and De Koven Thompson have been flooded with letters containing offers for the rights of the number, some of them running up into four figures. Unlike the majority of the writers of our race, these two young men have never entered the so-called ragtime field, but have always aimed to produce songs of a higher order. A new number of theirs, published by Will Rossiter and entitled "Good-Night, Sweetheart," bids fair to be one of the biggest successes of the season. The Defender congratulates these young men upon their signal success and wishes them God-speed. Mr. Thompson and brother Creighton left the city yesterday for Indianapolis, Chincinnati and Louisville on a concert tour, to be gone three weeks. Their success is assured. When seen by our reporter they said they had no idea as to what further course they would take. The success of their song came like a thunderbolt out of a thunder clan. BANDIT VICTIM DIES. Mr. A. W. Taylor, Well Known Rail- road Porter, Glives Up Life in Performance of Duty. Mr. A. W. Taylor, 5005 Dearborn street, died at Provident, hospital DR. BOOKER T. DR. BOOKER T. WASHING STONE HOTEL AND Thursday morning while a Defender reporter was waiting to interview Hon. W. T. Vernon, who was scheduled to pass through Chicago, in rolled Dr. Washington at the La Salle street station. Seeing him he started over his way, but by the time he could reach him he was mounted in Dr. Hall's auto and was pulling out before he could get in a word with him. The Doctor was entertained the same day by Mr. Rosenwald at the Blackstone Hotel, and at night at the Auditorium Hotel at the thirty-fifth anniversary Thursday, May 14, from blood poisoning, the result of being shot when two outaws held up the "Overland Limited" January 2. Mr. Taylor's companion, William Davis, was killed instantly and it was only by feligning death until the murderers had passed on that his own life was prolonged. For many months he lay ill in a western hospital. The latter part of March he returned home with every hope for a full recovery. A week or two ago his condition became alarming and Dr. Geo. C. Hall had him removed to the hospital. Funeral services were held from St. Mary's A. M. E. church Sunday last. Rev. Higgins, the pastor, officiated, assisted by Rev. Bradden. The deceased was a member of Louisville Lodge No. 20 U. B. F., and was forty-nine years old. Interment was in Oakwood cemetery. He is mourned by a widow, brother and sisters and hosts of friends. MR. CHARLES L. REESE TO MAKE AUTO ROUTE FOR STUDE-BAKER COMPANY. Great compliment was paid Mr. Reese during the week when the president of the Studebaker firm chose him out of 300 others to look out and compile a map of the shortest route between Chicago and Indianapolis, Indiana. Mr. Reese is to get $10 a day and expenses as an expert. Mr. Reese is a singer of no mean ability and he is in hopes of educating himself along that lino this fall at the Chicago Musical. He had to leave the city before he had time to inform his friends of his success. MISS NELLIE CALLOWAY ENTER TAINED BY LADY EFFINGHAM. London, England, May 18—Miss Nellie Calloway, of Chicago, U. S. A., has made a decided hit over here with the smart set of Marda Vale W. She has been invited out to numbers of teas, lawn fetes and theater parties; to cap the dimax Lady Ellingham has invited her to her guest at the coronation. When seen by your correspondent she said that she would remain until July 2nd before leaving for the States. She says England and her dukes are all right, but oh! You Chi. UNION CHARITY CLUB The regular meeting of the Chicago Union Charity Club was held at the residence of S. S. Galanes, 6140 Wentworth avenue on Thursday. The members turned out in a body to make the final report of the spring carnival which proved to be a grand success. Mrs. Galanos kept up her record as a hostess. Dalton refreshments were served. ANNOUNCEMENT. Wedding of Mr. Wm. H. Green and Mrs. Grace E. Stark. Mr. Wm. H. Green and Mrs. Grace 12. Stark, daughter of Mrs. C. H. Croker, were married on Thursday, April 27, at high noon. Only a few of the most intimate friends and relatives of the contracting parties were present. The bride was very beautifully gowned in a princess dress of white lace and presented a beautiful picture with her hair arranged in a most becoming and bewildering manner. The groom looked handsome in the conventional dress. In the evening an informal reception was held in their new home, 3751 Vincennes avenue, a gift of the groom to the bride. They were the recipients of some very costly presents. We wish for the newly wedded pair a long and serenely happy married life. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Green are now at home to their many friends at 3751 Vincennes avenue. WASHINGTON. BUTTON SPEAKS AT BLACK-Y, M. C. A. BANQUET. of the organization of the institution. Both the white men and colored sat together and ate. This is something new for the Y. M. C. A. It is the second time in all its history that colored men had the pleasure of being among them. Before Mr. Rosenwald made the gift they accepted every race on equality except the Negro. Finally Mr. L. Wilbur Messer saw the folly of the thing, and might have resigned had not the colored men been taken in. This is a good lesson for the Negro.

Now York, May 19.—Special—Goaded with the brand of being sent to Sing SING for 10 years, and served 9 years, 7 months, George Cain always had in his breast the sting, and to him revenge was sweet; during his trial at the Tombs it was shown that a lot of Irishmen, hoodlums, began beating Cain without any cause whatever, and when he began to defend himself his knife reached a newspaper reporter, who kicked him in the stomach. Closing in on him he sent his knife home into his body. Half dazed and bleeding, the police came, poured upon him, heat his head almost to a pulp, kicked him about the street, and threw him into the wagon. and the gentleman with whom I work has promised to give me all the aid that money and legal talent can do. But I know it will be of no use for there isn't a jury in the city of New York that will give a Negro a fair deal. I am prepared to die and I trust God will receive me in His blessed abode. Police Shoots Without Command. Policeman Eynon (white) acted the part of a coward; he had every advantage of me; he was on his motorcycle when he came up; at this time I had a crowd whipped off of me and started to go when the officer without a word of command shot me in the back and I fell, while down Struck in Mouth with Brick. While waiting for the wagon at the police box and as the crowd stood by jeering, a gentleman (2) watter in a nearby cafe knocked him in the mouth with a halt brick which sent him to the ground. It was at this point the three policemen kicked him and then throw him into the wagon. This Cain has remembered and he sware that should he live to avenge himself he would do so to the letter. Was Not Looking for Trouble. When seen in the Tombs yesterday he told a personal friend that he was not looking for trouble and had always tried to avoid same, but when the man Hall tried to teach me a lesson and the others who combated with him. But the New York police have taught me that ten years ago and death looks sweeter to me than to have any man crush my manhood. I don't expect to get a fair trial; I knew that when the fight started; and now if I go to the chair you can say this, "Cain slew Abel" in self-defense. Whites Brought on Fight. When I reached 10th street Hall and Surrell attacked me; as I reached the sidewalk the other whites who were at the corner at the time joined them, the children, and I could hear them call, "Kill the Nigger," and I at once made up my mind to die, and began using my knife right and left, with the result that I read in the papers on yesterday.

He will be glad to have them published for you. South Bend, being so near Chicago and having one of the largest hotels in northern Indiana and employs most of its waiters from the city, he decided to have in your midst the newsheet paper you can read. It will put you in touch with your friends. It will let you know how they are progressing. If we would do more for one another instead of helping out our white brothers we soon would be as independent as he is. I appear to the good citizens of South Bend.

Eight other persons (white) were injured, none of them fatally. Colored Policemen Needed. New York might as well wake up to times and treat its colored citizens as Philadelphia and Chicago, and even Boston, if you please; in all these cities where there are colored policemen you never hear of race riots as you do in New York city and the sooner the Negroes demand same the better off they will be when it comes to moving about this city unnoticed. There is not one day in this city when there is not a riot or a lot of white men are not running colored men, women and children about the streets like a lot of rabbits. We are lounging for the day to come when the colored citizens will each drop a letter to the mayor and the governor to give us colored policemen and a state militia. opened a new hotel known as the Dominion hotel.

Mrs. Miller, 3552 Forest Ave., has attained the height of perfection along the line of designing and making elegant gowns and evening coats. Her recent work on the North Side for a bride-to-be was highly commended by a North Side society sheet. It said in part: "One of the most exquisite gown and evening coat was made by Mrs. G. W. Miller who can be truly called an artist. The model was original." This is, or should be, very gratifying to know that skill is always recognized and applauded regardless of color.

In demanding a black man to blush, the commander cannot be color blind. Deneen, Ed Green and Judah will go down in history as Illinois Triumverate. The hot wave came from airships burning the Standard Oil gasoline in mid air. Mr. Rosenwald would make Shakespeare eat up his Merchant of Venice were he living today. We don't quite understand what is meant by a mulatto supper, unless it be the white meat of a chicken. The Blackstone hotel is all right, it invited Dr. Washington to stop there the next time he comes to the city. If the Negroes will fight for their rights as made enforced by Ed Green they will have no trouble in future. Free passes issued to Lincoln Washington and Jackson park by the Chicago Defender during the hot weather. Booker T. has done more for the northern Negroes away down in Tuskegee than all the leaders we have ever seen or heard. There is a concerted effort on the part of the citizens in the neighborhood of 44th street and Indiana avenue to run a doctor out for refusing to assist a colored man run down by an auto. If white people will take such steps, why not the colored combine to help them? Contrary to adverse opinions expressed by other colored newspapers, the Paul Lawrence Bunbar Memorial Sanitarium for the treatment of truberculosis will be a good thing. Nobody cares a rap who gets the money so long as the big thing moves. Let us have the hospital and the Y. M. C. A. as soon as possible. Should some of our young men be more careful about money matters when working with a small firm which is trying to rise, they would help the institution to grow and, perhaps give them a better chance than they have at present, but if you figure I and going to get mine, there may come 'time when instead of getting yours you will get no ones, then what? Be fair with each other in money matters. ! One of the clerks in the Gala piano Company store had a young white arrected for insulting a colored lady. The young culprit repeated the foul language as second time, and said he was from the South, where he spoke to "nigger wenches" as he chose. He are glad the police taught him a lesson. One of the officers told him he came out of the Bridwell that it would pay him to go back, as the north was no place for him. The old white gentleman from the South who said he had quoted a colored boy at the age of ten and loved him as a father for thirty years until the fellow at 40 has threatened the old man's life and must be adjudged insane, was a queer old soul. He must have been the boy's father, a common thing in the South. If not, the boy would have left him long ago, providing the old man did not indulge him by giving him money. The boy's reply to the accusation of insanity is that he has had moving pictures in his head. --- Most people, when desiring to accomplish an object in prices in Negro journals will bring the price of one paper to another and demand that you do your work at the standard set by the paper they had just left; but if the presumption is in the latter paper's favor and you know your circulation is larger than the other fellows, then you should stick to your price. The price in one office cannot be the same in the other. Take the age of the paper and its progressiveness and you may then see why the other fellow can cut in the price field.

P.'S PARADE. The article which appeared in the columns of the Defender last week seems to have caused quite a rumpus among the members of the order. We would like to state that the Defender is not given to vilify any one; the article which appeared got in without the notice of the editor. While he admits he is responsible, such things occur time and again with all papers and other business. The Defender apologizes and will in future keep its eyes open for such things. We are not going to blinder. The fellow hopes that all will go well, and that we will meet on the 20th at the Coliseum and forget the little ripples which appear upon the water. When you wish to get the sentiment of the Defender, read its editorials; those are from the editor. 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, 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 up. You can. But when? Pay now, 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 duo us. The Chicago American in answering the quest of a writer May 12 went to the trouble to state that Senator Revels was a full blooded African when he was not. It also told that B. K. Bruce was a mulatto where he was not, which all amounts to nothing. What does amount to something is the fact that the American stated that a large number of Negroes from the South are practically disfranchised and another large percentage never take the trouble to go to the polls. No reason was given why. The resignation of Secretary of War Dickerson, the Negro host and a most prominent Republican, is all in line with the regular course in which President Aft pursues the oven tenor of his political way. It is true that it is quite easy to give the Negro race a little soft soap, or promissory taffy. No one can blame the President, but woe unto the Negro if he gets one more chance in the chair. And now that the Republican party is virtually a thing of the past North and South so far as the rights and conditions of the Negro is concerned, it would be a good idea for the Negro race to try a change, if condition do not change in the G. O. P. before 1912. It is well understood that President Cleveland did favor the South as much as the Republican presidents of his day and another good man would be likely to do so now. In the light of this inventory there may come another day for ex-President Roosevelt, if he will be content to remain in seclusion. All the eyes of the Nation can see him. Booker T. Washington for the colored race has named him and Dr. Charles Parkhurst, in speaking of the betterment of conditions last Wednesday told how an occasional few men come forward by the force of their own personality and character to give an upward movement to the thoughts and ambitions of the people, and then adds: "Mr. Roosvelt was one such man. Whatever criticism may be passed on some of his individual acts he undoubtedly communicated a positive moral impulse to private and public life. And he was able to do it because people were in a condition to have it done. They had themselves grown to the point where all that was needed was some pronounced and commanding expression of chivalrous and commanding expression of chivalrous by the opportunity to judge quality and position, was able to go through the country he gave, especially to young men, a higher moral tone, because they had already ripened to the point where they were waiting to have it given to them." And Dr. Parkhurst's views mean much to every race and every people. Oyster islands, similar to those formed of coral, are found in several parts of the world. The islands in Newport river and Neaufort harbor, North Carolina, says a writer in the Century Path Magazine, have been discovered to have as base a reef on which the spawn were attached and above this layer upon layer of oysters, vegetable growth, and debris brought by the action of the waves and winds, all of which finally grows high enough to rise above the surface of the water. This growth is exactly analogous to that of the coral islands of the Pacific. The islands near the mouth of the River Tagus in Portugal are said to have been built up in this way also. Here, where there is such a quantity of oysters that 100 million a year would scarcely be missed if they were removed, the expanse of water just beyond the river's mouth is dotted with coral reefs, which in the case of the side side may be covered with living coral, live oysters thrive in the same waters where the accumulation of dead generations has served to form the islands. Of the books about Venice there is no end. For the history on the "Queen of the Adriatte" has its rays possessed a peculiar charm, and there are any number of histories of the famous city-state. Of course the great reservoir of information concerning the Venetian republic is the "Archives of Venice," published at intervals throughout the years and still being regularly added to. In order to become posted on the "monetary system of the Venetian Republic" one works bearing through many works bearing upon Venice on Venetian history. There is no singlehaustive work along that particular line, but in nearly all of the histories of the republic may be found something illustrative of her wonderful social system. It is fully as painful to be shot on the border as elsewhere. What has become of the old-fashioned Balkan war cloud? Relief at last! Boston reports that "the lobster famine is broken." The man that tended the furnace will not be expected to push the lawn mower. The expert who finds germs in the cats whiskers would do well to look to his own. That New York man who wants to exterminate trout will find plenty of volunteer assistants. Another Chineses cabinet smashed, but then it must be remembered that China cabinets smash easily. They have found a diamond weighing 244 carats in South Africa. Who will be the lucky hotel clerk? It is a sad but unmistakable fact that the average constituent prefers garden seeds to copies of spooches. Luther Burbank should turn his attention to developing an early strawberry that will taste like a strawberry. Whether the world is seventy or ten million years old makes little difference to us. It is a nice old world, anyway. The only trouble now in ordering your dinner at the restaurant is to decide what to eat with the asparagus on toast. In New Mexico a woman subdued a wildcat by jumping on its back. Perhaps she had been practicing on her husband. Germany's idea of a universal language probably consists of words of several syllables spoken with a Teutonic accent. A Pennsylvania man filled his pipe with gunpowder thinking it was tobacco. We presume he got one good puff, anyhow. After the housefly, the rat and the common drinking cup have been abolished something ought to be done about the street car hog. A tunnel nine miles long through the Alps was hurled up out of the fear that the airships will soon take all of the transportation business. The government, in plague research, has examined 55,000 California squirrels. The odd part of it is that it has been done since last summer. "Money," says Banker Vanderlip of New York, "is distressing easy." Money is a good deal like the painless dentist. He doesn't suffer any. A Maryland surgeon informs us that transplanting human kidneys is as easy as a plumber's Job. We presume, also, that it is as costly as a plumber's job. The interest of Chicago coeds in matrimony is only academic. But two per cent. of them signify their intention of becoming brides upon graduation. An eastern physician says that the reason some men are fat is because they don't get enough to eat. The silly season seems to be opening early this year. Since an aviation school has been established in Spain students will be enabled to get to those castles in the air for which Spain has long been noted. Manuel de Zamacona o Inclan has been appointed ambassador to the United States from Mexico. The rubber stamp must be a handy thing in this case. An aviator has succeeded in flying in four hours from London to Paris without bumping into anybody. Travel still is comparatively light in the upper reaches. A fashionable tailor is advising his customers to select their clothes to match their hair. Probably he will let the bald-headed ones wait until the weather is warmer. A lady who walked from New York to Florida lost 40 pounds on the way. Still, a good many of the stout ladies will prefer to roll on bedroom floors for the purpose of reducing their welt. A pretty St. Louis girl has been sent to Cincinnati to cure her of an infatuation for a young man in her home town. Which is or is not complimentary to Cincinnati. It depends upon the point of view. The new helmet hat for women needs little hair, says a fashion note. And since the cera of puffs and brushes and such have left little in many cases, it may be a case of temptering the wind to the shorn lamb. A St. Louis man who left an estate valued at $44,000,000 is declared by the courts to have been of unsound mind because he provided in his will that the money was to be kept undistributed for 75 years. He may not have been crazy at all. Perhaps he hoped science might within the time specified discover how to raise the dead, thus making it possible for him to come back and get it. The deepest conflit shaft in the world has just been completed at Wearmouth (Eng.) colliery. It is 320 fathoms deep and 16 feet wide. Freshening Shoe Blacking.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC L Why the Foremost Female Performer of Her Race Should Star Alone Next Season. Alda Overton Walker, as the season closes, has completed another triumphant tour as a proof to add to the strength of her own personal individuality. Every instance of her tour with The Smart Set capability has demonstrated that she is the dominant feature of the show, and the box office drawing attraction. Without her last season there would have seen no box office attraction. The great appeal to her present managers, Barton and Wilswell, is to look at her drawing power as a box office attraction. European agents are busy seeking her services and making overtures to her to sign her a lot to trip abroad. It is not likely that B. A. Williams, her only equal as a star, can be brought to her next season. The Follies of 1910 left the Pacific coast to play East beetle Williams is not with the company. It is said that Manager Ziegfeld has retained Bert Williams on the coast coast to keep him from seeing Mrs. Walker and to keep him out of the clashes of other managers. It is understood that Manager Ziegfeld will organize a new "Follies of 1911 on the Pacific coast and that B. A. Williams, and last season's leading showbelt will be scrambled up in it, separate and distinct. Very like performers in vaudeville. But Mr. Williams would never tell the public that he longs to be a real star again or tell them that he longs to see the old name of Williams and Walker revived, even if with Alda Overton Walker, or that he would like to see a Jesse A. Shipp production and to hear the voice of Will C. Elkins training the mighty chorus, as he walks in late to rehearsal. It is all the story of a family that has been unnecessarily broken up, but could be re-united by time and opportunity. Leaving Mr. Williams to ponder over the follies of the past and present, let us devotedly turn to the profile of Mrs. Walker. What will she do? This she must decide upon before the warmer weather or at least a conference with her managers should render a decision. The public stands in waiting. With hands across the sea the European money grabbers stand ready to take her away and it is generally believed that she is ready and willing to go if her American managers are not willing to present her in the right way. To star Mrs. Walker with an actor who is not her equal would only be excess baggage, saying nothing of one who is only popular with an average public and a lesser few of the argiles. As a badly mutilated woman, she is growing temper like a Norse frog, never endorse a coterie of two stars of unequal value. I am reiterating public expression. Why, then, should her managers seek to work her in double? The decision is really and actually up to Mrs. Walker and it will be Mrs. Walker's duty to say to her managers in true female style, "I resign; I must go it along or quit." She must have the nerve of Marry and the gall of Sarah Bernhardt. Do her managers understand? Mr. Walker is cultivated and mild, but her intelligence would probably cause her managers to lose or sooner if they can not see her. What Mrs. Walker needs is a fine production by Jesse A. Shipp, the one genius who will lives to rescue the stars of his race from failures. Mr. Shopkins finished his work at the Pekin Theater and is probably at Mount Cleens by this time, where he intends to go to rest a few weeks from his labor. The public expects to see Ms. Walker as a single star next season and will be anxious to support her because she is a superior artist and that of itself is strong enough to sustain her. We are waiting to hear the news and everything must hurry. Billy Heinor and Allie Gillam at the New Grand. Large crowds was the rule at the New Gran Theater when another one of the strongest bills of the season was presented. Billy Jumper and Allie Gillar made their first appearance at thir house in a new original act which caused a screaming sensation. Allie Gillam's comedy countries were fast and curious while Jumper, who was a little slower, warmed up to a surrey when his black face showed up in contrast to Gillam's tramp character and the two actors in a ballet chorusque dance, which scored tremendously. The Hillmans, a new team, made their first appearance and received immediate recognition. Mr. Hillman is a good comedian whose monologue is delivered with delightful intelligence of unctious drollery. His wife is clever and sings well but offers with affectiveness. The Love, who open the bill, were also pleasing entertainers, particularly the son; numbers rendered by Mr. Love. Of the white acts, Boston, Von & Co., in the "Minister's Reception," were well received in a lively act which commanded attention. Mr. Von is another one of those droll comedians who find favor more by how he does things than by the things done. The little soubret maid was a clever girl, a graceful little artist and singer. Burt Earl's trio played a return date and still remained popular; the colored boy was the heavy part of the trio while Mr. Earl's banjo imitations and the fine mezzo-soprano quality of Mrs. Earl's voice was convincing. The Clipper Quartet was exceptionally good, even if their hopes were built too much upon the suggestive whims of a most unpleasant dude whose sweet tenor voice is a trifle sharp. Kemper Harreid and Abbie Mitchell in a Recital. Kemper Harreld, the young violinist, and Abbie Mitchell appeared in a violin and song recital at Institutional church Monday evening, May 15th, assisted by Mrs. Alma Pitts-Williams, reader. It was as a matter of course another society event and while the lower auditorium was well filled, if the affair had been advertised one week longer the gallery would have been crowded. I dropped in for thirty minutes to hear three numbers, but had to stay an hour as the recital commenced late and people were too stupid to hurry it up. Kemper Harreld, who appeared on the scene at 9 o'clock, was heard to good advantage in Wienlawski's Concerto in D Minor, including the Allegro, Moderato and Romance. In the first half of this number Mr. Harreld displayed a certain amount of genuine skill in execution which lacked charm in spirit of resonance and force. The Romance, however, was given with a warmth of passion seldom displayed by amateurs of the highest grade of schooling, if not in the artistic sublimity of punctuation, nor what is termed the orthopey of tone production. But Mr. Harreld, slightly overrated, as first in his class of young violinists in Chicago, gives evidence of success worth while. Miss Abbie Mitchell, truly a great artist with a well earned record, carried everything before her. Her first selection was "Am Sontag Morgen," which she rendered in German. No only was her dramatic skill of voice power andonal shading a marked contrast of true artistic greatness, but her exhibition of true vocal culture was ideal perfection, which people never hear from her in the crudity of vaudeville and picture houses. Miss Alma Pitts-Williams, a popular reader, recited "Zingarella." Frank Jordan Woods, the accompanist, came before us as a refreshing surprise. While some of his medium passages in the violin selections were a little too heavily touched and his punctuations a little retarded, his shading was wonderfully effective and of such artistic merit that his work can be termed magnificent. Motts Pekin Theater Returns to Vaudeville The Pekin opened Monday night with a tremendous vaudeville bill. Every act was a star feature. The Kawkaslan Russlan troupe of singers, dancers and instrumentalists gave good account of themselves as dancers peculiar to their native land and their costumes, embroidered with beads, were gaudy to look upon. Another splendid feature was a one-act playlet, "Mrs. Dolan's Dream," introducing Lea Remonde as the old fashioned Irish mother. She was assisted by Adèle Hughes and Frank Zuner, who both acted well. John T. and Jessie Powers gave the best comedy act of the evening in sketch work. Mr. Powers' style of work does not appeal to everybody, but was clever all the same. Jessie Powers, who is a prima donna soprano of real merit, sang with much taste. She wore a snake charmer's dress, but it fit well. Her imitations of a child and of Eva Tangay were good but there are a lot of things that white actors do that colored people on State street don't understand at all. Miss Fanny Wise in songs was one of the most popular things on the bill. Her home "Pansy Brown" and "Kentucky Home" for her two last numbers and her high notes were deliciously sweet. Charles Woody and Leona Marshall, of Lubbie Hill's Dixie Company, were good entertainers in the early half of the bill. Clarence Tisdale, who was in better voice than ever, received a generous reception. Marquis and Flynn, musical artists and dancers, created quite a good deal of attention in their musical dancing and comedy playing numbers and easily made good. The Laughing Tourists in Screamville Justice was not any too much of a scream, but gave pleasure. The second part was transformed into a minstrel show with Raby Troy as the bright particular end man whose kangaroo dance made a hit. Jack McShane was a splendid tenor singer and Dan Hall was a melodious baritone. The scene ended showing the Goddess of Liberty. There is but one show a night and the houses grew larger each evening. Smith and Wallace and Clayborne Jones at the Monogram. There was a good store in store for those who divided their time with the ever popular Monogram theater on Monday evening. Chris. Smith and Lizzie Wallace gave a singing and dancing sketch. Mr. Smith presided at the piano and sang one of his new original songs with great favor and received heavy applause, while Miss Wallace sang her monkey song and danced as usual, winning great approval. But it was left for Clayborne Jones to make them scream. His Yama Yama man was not only a big hit as of yore, but his original capers, so different from the rest, keeps him a popular winner and they would not let him off in "It's Hard to Find a King Like Me." Lewis and Lewis gave their popular sketch with fairly good results as a repetition. Roy and Fries was a nice little white team, good dancers and singers, in fact the boy is a little above the average in cleverness. Sweatnam's clarinet playing in the Jones songs was excellent, together with Will Dorsey and George Reeves, the music was a dream. --- Helen Goodman and her Four Samoan Girls are at the Columbia theater this week. Ulysses E. Cross is now leader of the Pekin orchestra. Flournoy Miller and Aubrey Lyles are at the Hamlin theater. The Benevolent Order of William Goats gave a reception at their club rooms, 2708 State street, last Wednesday evening. Napoleon Johnson, half-brother of George Bailey, died at the home of his aunt in Kansas City last Saturday. He had been a musician and performer for a number of years with the Georgia Minstrels, and was last associated with "Ten Dark Knights," both in Europe and America. Jesse A. Shipp has gone to Mount Clemens, Mihc., for a two weeks' vacation. He was very reticent and would give out nothing concerning his plans next season. Mrs. Shipp remains in the city in a private hospital where she is to undergo a slight operation. --- At a benefit given for Will Thomas, an old time performer, late of Caldwell & Thomas at the Monogram, the following artists appeared: Goldy Crosby, Chinese Walker, Leonce Johnson, Edward Williams, Lizzie Wallace, Buddy & Kinky Gilmore, Alonzo Bosand, Butler May, George Lewis, Leon Diggs, Sidney L. Perrin and Master George Braxton, who made a hit on a one string violin and would make a good vaudeville star. He has been the star "pick" with Mamie Remington, a white actress, who is now ill in a hospital. Craig Williams was master of ceremonies. * * * Sidney L. Perrin informs us that the music and plays used by the Russell-Owens stock company touring through the South, are his property and were stolen from him by Bob Russell two seasons ago at Philadelphia. * * * Gene King and Leo Bailey are playing the Hippodrome circuits of England. Gene King informs me that they are under the management of Moss & Stoll and the tour includes Ireland and Scotland. The Magnet, a London paper, says "This duo is what you may term 'just arrived' from the States and since Williams and Walker delighted London in their melodious piece at the Shaftesbury we have not welcomed a brighter or more really gifted couple of comedians, singers and dancers." Carey Lewis and I have shaken hands; they all shake hands with me; I'm the great father of conflicts and use my brain to dig graves and bury hatchets. Lewis took me over to the Provident hospital to see Alfred Anderson, the great lyric writer. I was delighted. He is a little fellow who is as brilliant as Dunbar. He has a head as big as Henry Clay with something in it. He is modestly unassuming. He is the secretary of the hospital. What impressed me was the appearance of his office. It's a bungalow, with dark frescoed walls and unique relics of war, huntsmen, cowboys and Indian warriors. The pictures have dark wooden frames with some of his choice poems therein. Several years ago, when Anderson's lyric and Will Dixon's music made a hit in the song "Graciel," I have kept in touch with Mr. Anderson's work. Young DeKoven Thompson, of Chicago, is now composing music to Mr. Anderson's lyrics. "If I Forget" is one of their late concert numbers now being used by Madam Schuman Helke. The Umbrian Glee Club will sing at the Institutional Church May 25th. The Pekin theater is having a new touch up on the front and side. The Goats now have a front yard view, having removed a lunch wagon to the rear, partly by the request of Mrs. Johnson, the undertaker next door. --- Mr. Thompson to Sing in Indianapolis. Mr. Charles Creighton Thompson, who scored such a signal success at the last recital of the Choral Study Club, in the oratorio of "The Prodigal Son," will be the soloist at St. Phillip's Episcopal Church and Bethel A. M. E. Church, Indianapolis, Sunday, May 21. Mr. Thompson will sing the compositions of his brother, Mr. J. de Koven Thompson, of "Dear Lord, Remember Me" fame, will accompany him. PEKIN THEATER. Beginning on Monday, May 22, the Pekin theater will return to the two show a night policy and institute a scale of summer prices—5, 10, and 20 cents. The standard of the entertainment will remain the same, and the highest class vaudeville acts will be engaged. This policy is adopted as a short and crisp entertainment is preferable to one of long duration during the summer months. First show at 7:30 and second performance at 9:30, with three on Sundays, at 6:30, 8:30 and 10 o'clock. This is the age of the survival of the fittest; no business can or does expect to be sustained or supported by sentiment. Buy the best for your money, and the management of the Pekin theater endeavors to present the best possible for the money. The Pekin is an institution and one of which the colored people of Chicago should be proud, and its revenue is used to further the necessities of our own race; its doors have and are always open to all worthy charities and your patronage is TENNIS MME. ANITA PATTI BROWN. Mme. Anita Patti Brown returned home Wednesday evening, May 17th, after a recital tour of triumphant success since Jan. 18th, singing in the following cities: Paducah, Ky., Nashville, Tenn., Jackson, Tenn., Decatur, Ala., Huntsville, Ala., Normal, Ala, Knoxville, Ala., Asheville, N. C., Charlotte, N. C., Salisbury, N. C., Greensboro, N. C., Durham, N. C., Raleigh, N. C., Enfield, N. C., Wilmington, N. C., Sumter, S. C., Columbia, S. C., Orange appreciated. The prices are within the reach of all and the entertainment is of the highest class. The bill for the coming week is as follows: Sivingali, the wonderful hypnotist. Fanny Wise, new songs. Lawrence Johnson, the greatest of all ventriloquists. Mme. Helene, mind reader. Clarence Tisdale, tenor. Morris and Morris, fun on a broomstick. The Sporting World Albambra Theater was crowded on last Saturday evening when Illa Vincent appeared on the scene to throw his first big white victim in a large theater. Vincent won the best two out of three. When Rolandow was laid on the mat for the first time there was a vociferous demonstration from the colored population of the South Side, which constituted nearly one-half of the audience. Mr. Vincent is to meet another hercules tonight and in a week or two the regular season closes. It has been five months now since the Black Panther of Germany, the Cuban wonder of the white race, and the Jack Johnson of the wrestling world, has been in America. He is gradually learning the English language and fast acquiring the ways and habits of the United States. The perplexities of the color problem, which had intimidated his cause because the white wrestlers were afraid of him and white people told him that the line would be drawn, has all been fully explained to him now. He has been informed that the color line cuts no figure in championship of sports and he has taken on new courage for the future. IN A BRILLIANT GAME GRACE DEFEATS BETHANY. In the most exciting game ever played in the Presbyterian League, Grace defeated Bethany, at Palmer Park, Saturday, May 13th, in ten innings, 9 to 6. The feature of the contest was the pitching of "Herbie" Lewis. His great record for the game was fourteen strike outs. His quick delivery and snap throws held the Bethany players close to their bases, not a one stealing on him. The showing of the team as a whole was splendid, and without misfortunes, they expect to have a great season, bringing home the pennant for their loyal supporters. The score: GRACE. H.

They Must Meet—The White Man's Hope Must Give All Comers a Chance Before He Pulls His Hole In With Him. Chicago, Ill., May 15, 1911. To the Editor Defender: Dear Sir:—Kindly wish to notify you and the many admirers of Ila Vincent that I have issued a challenge burg, S. C., Augusta, Ga., Savannah, Ga., Darlen, Ma., Macon, Ga., Athens, Ga., Montgomery, Ala., Tuskegee, Ala., Selma, Ala., Snow Hill, Ala., Pensacola, Fla., New Orleans, La., Birmingham, Ala., Bristol, Tenn., Bluefield, W. Va., Roanoke, Va., Lynchburg, Va., Norfolk, Va., Newport News, Va., Harrisburg, Pa., Washington, D. C., Baltimore, Md., Philadelphia, Pa. Zanesville, O., Columbus, O., and Springfield O. on behalf of him to the so-called wrestling champions, Frank Gotch, Hackenschmidt, Mahmout, and Demetral. These men have evaded wrestling Mr. Vincent for no other reason than that they know he can defeat them if given the chance. Having predicted time and time again that Jack Johnson would defeat Jim Jeffries, I also wish to go on record as stating that Mr. Vincent can defeat Frank Gotch. The opportunity is all he wants and that I mean to get for him. He is under contract to appear at the Alhambra Theater every Saturday night. Any man desiring to meet him will be given a trial. No one is barred. Arrangements have been made with the management of the Alhambra Theater so that any of Mr. Vincent's friends can secure seats in any part of the theater. With best wishes I remain as ever a lover of fair play. Last Sunday was quite historic, the Leland Giants showing their old time form with Wickware pitching almost no-hit no-run game, while the American Giants, heralded as the world beaters, were getting drubbed 5 to 4 by a third class team. Sunday, tomorrow, the Leland Giants play the Logan Squares, Callahan's old team. The Logans have beat such teams as the Chicago Giants, the Gunthers and the West Ends and promises to make it interesting for the Lelands. This will no doubt be the best game in the city and all of our people should attend it. Did you see the boosters last Sunday? They ar the fun makers of the baseball world, and headquarters at the Burlington, plying between 2018 State street and 60th and Halsted streets, Leland G nts park. The Boosters' Big Red Flyer starts from the Burlington cafe every Sunday at 2 p.m. It is manned by the following crew: J. F. Bolling, advance agent of the funny tribe; Romeo Loving, the real baseball fan; Buster Henderson, proprietor tonsorial, 2002 State street, pilot; Big Bill McCullough, heap big electric fan; Thomas Motts, the Pekin beauty; Allen Alford, of the United Order of Ball Fans, and marshal of the day; Robert Gillispie, the Ozarks fan tan; Tom Allen, who has the power of Al Tearney to fan for two years, inspector of right of way. Follow this big red wagon of fans and the sorrows of Satan will never cross your path. Secretary and Treasurer B. P. Moseley and Julus F. Taylor are honorary members of the Leland Giants Booster club and have been fined for not attending last Saturday night's meeting. Daniel M. Macon and other applicants to become members of the Leland Giants Booster club will be considered at Saturday night's meeting. Full attendance is required—11:30—2018 State street, Burlington. Bad Habit Spreading in Europe. Juvenile smoking is said to have increased rapidly abroad in the last few years. "Upon the success of the Leland Giants this year depends the Negro's continuance as a factor in the baseball arena. Their Park is the only Park in the city operated and controlled by Negroes. This should be sufficient for every Negro to attend the games at this Park."

Smuggling goods into Italy by aerplane, which has led to a serious accident near Mont Cenis, will probably be extensively practiced in the future, despite the attendant risks. The Italian laws against smuggling are most severe. A peasant caught with only a pound of contraband tobacco is pretty sure to incur two years' imprisonment, besides paying a heavy fine. The customs officials, too, are authorized to shoot persons crossing the frontier who refuse to halt when challenged, and several lives are thus sacrificed every year. Still, the profits of smuggling are so great that many brave these perils. A knapsack filled with tobacco or salt, safely landed, yields a small fortune to the smuggler, so heavy are the taxes upon these. Circulating Libraries It is absolutely impossible to say just when the first circulating library was opened. If there was ever a record of the important event, it is lost. We know that during the middle ages stationers used to land books on hire, and here, no doubt, we have the germ of the modern circulating library. One Samuel Fancourt started a real circulating library in England about the year 1740, but it appears that the people were not ready for it, since it soon failed. Similar institutions at Bath and London, some ten years later, seem to have succeeded, and from that time the circulating library began to get a foothold, not only in England, but in other European countries. Good Advice to Teachers. "Deal in broad generalities, be philosophical, but hide your philosophy so skillfully that you appear as artless as the minds you address. Let your language be simile, noble, magnanimous. Never pride yourself on teaching a great number of things. Rest content to rouse curiosity. Be satisfied with opening your scholars' minds, and do not overload them. Without any interference of yours they will catch fire at the point where they are inflammable."—Anatole France. Not Afraid of Ma "Dear little fellow, how full of life he is!" gushed the visitor who longed to shake the mischievous small son of her child-ridden hostess. "I wonder if he is always so playful?" "Not outdoors," the urchin replied glibly. "The kids wouldn't stand for no such thing, but we will." For that blue feeling try the sunny side of the street. Cats should be shaved, for their whiskers are full of microbes. As a leader of society Col. John Jacob Astor is wearing a harem shirt. New hairdressing styles reveal that woman's crowning glory is amenable to sudden shifts. An export has found three distinct kind of germs on a cat's whiskers. Shave your cat. This is the appointed time to eat up what remains of the canned fruit left from last winter. The campaign cigar is barred. Politicians will have to devise some new means of pulling candidates. Now, if our pitchers and the weather man only hold out, the pennant is merely a matter of a few weeks. A Chicago policeman recently outran the fastest burglar in the city. But why was the burglar chasing him? A coltish Californian of ninety-two years elopes with a blushing of seventy. That's a wonderful climate! A bellboy of the Waldorf-Astoria is towed an heelsess. Surely, he is impelled thereto by no financial necessity. Clocked hostery is said to be the latest thing in women's apparel, but why clocked with the whale skirt to hide it? The government is talking of coiling a two-and-a-half-cent piece. You can just smell the cigar that would go with it. New York is suffering from a lobster famine of the crustacean variety. Human lobsters are still as plentiful as usual. Now that a woman has become the owner of a big league baseball franchise, will she institute a weekly "gentlemen's day?"

Thus science and agriculture are going along hand in hand. A Connecticut pastor has adopted the practice of serving refreshments to induce his flock to attend church. Feeding his flock, as it were. Young society women of Washington are ambitious to be aviators. In other words, those up-to-date in the styles will be literal high-flyers. It has been proved that the hobble skirt is valuable when it comes to using ladders. However, most of the time women are not using ladders. When Wu Tin Fang comes back for the third time he will no doubt have a new set of questions in his throat ready to spring on an unoffending people. A woman in Passaic, N. J., who apparently has fasted for 25 days, says that angels feed her. Which tends to confirm the suspicion that she is acting. New York shipped $3,000,000 in worn out currency to Washington, there to be destroyed. New York is an awful place to wear out one's money. A Chicago prophet declares the population of that city will be 13,000,000 fifty years hence. But why should we worry over troubles so far in the future? It is estimated that Americans will pay $5,000,000 for seats from which to view the coronation procession. England must have boosted the cost of viewing. A Hartford motorman is in court charged with committing an assault with a trolley car. What's the use of passing laws against carrying concealed weapons? Chicago is now trying to solve the hired work problem by letting the housework by contract. The maid has professional hours. Also her prices are professional. "Seventy-five per cent of the nation's coal is sold without profit" avers a commercial journal. It will be hard to make the ultimate consumer believe anything like that.

Brides are falling on hard times and stern advisers. One matrimonial export denounces their tendency to keep their husbands' love by making themselves beautiful, and another declares that to make their homes happy they must learn to cook. But it is doubtful if the up-to-date brides will need such advice. They are beginning to believe that women ought to have some of the fun which is going on on the earth.

Former Pennsylvania Tells How He Lost a Big Fortune Through a Foolish Pet Goat and a Fend Grandfather. "Hard luck!" exclaimed Watson. "You fellows don't know what hard luck is. I claim that I hold the 24-hour record for hard luck. When I was a boy I lived in the Pennsylvania oil country, and my grandfather owned a big farm down there. They had never found oil within five or six miles of grandfather's place, but they were gradually edging along in his direction, and we all expected that sooner or later somebody would uncover a gusher there. That would mean a fortune for grandfather, and as I was his only heir I naturally took considerable interest in the matter. "Well, one day a rich oil man came along and made an offer for grandfather's farm. They had struck a good well near by, and everybody had come to the conclusion that grandfather's farm was in the middle of the oil belt. Our friends advised against the acceptance of the first offer, which would have been 20 times as much as the farm would have been worth if no oil had been there, but it was certain that if oil were discovered on the farm we could get $60,000, and perhaps $100,000, more than the price mentioned by the first bladder. "Seeing that grandfather wouldn't sell, the man leased a couple of acres from him and started to put down a test well. It was expected that they would have to drill about a thousand feet to reach the sand in which the oil was located, and when they got down that far not a sign of oil had been found. So they decided to torpedo the thing. "The scheme was to put a lot of nitroglycerin into the well and blow it up. That often made gushers of what at first seemed to be dry holes. They brought a large quantity of the explosive stuff to the farm and stored it in a little shed, expecting to blow up the well the next day. Here's where the hard luck comes in. "It happened that I had a goat and this goat got into the shed where the explosive was stored. Boylike I rushed in to get the goat out, and grandfather and a crowd of the well drillers saw me. They were horror-stricken. For a moment nobody could move or crash the drillers offered his farm to any one who would rescue me. One of the drillers accepted the offer and entered the shed, where he succeeded in getting the goat by the horns just before he had butted in the can of nitroglycerin. "He flung the goat out through the open door of the shed and then, catching me in his arms, carried me out in safety to grandfather. The old gentleman insisted on deeding the place over to him then and there. The next day they attempted to torpedo the well, and then it was discovered that the can which was supposed to be full of nitrogycerin contained nothing but lard, and the goat died of the shock it sustained when it was thrown out of the shed. Eventually the well turned out to be a gusher. One-Third of a Wife. Before a crowded, fashionable in intensely-interested audience, assembled in the Philharmonic hall, Liverpool, some time ago, Dr. Sven Hedin, the distinguished Swedish explorer, imparted much interesting information regarding his recent expedition into Tibet. A few sentences were devoted to the marriage laws of the Tibetans. It was the custom for a woman to have two or three, or even more, brothers as her husbands. Three brothers would thus have one-third of a wife each—which ought to be quite sufficient, for the women were extremely ugly. When the eldest of the brothers chose a wife the others had to agree. In Europe, the children were a thing. In European countries it was the tom to ask a father how many children he had got; in Tibet it was the custom to ask the children, "How many fathers have you-got?" And the answer might be, "I have three—my great father, my middle father, and my little father." In Defense of the Primrose Poisonous or not, the primrose was largely consumed by our forefathers, who endowed it with a variety of medicinal properties. The flowers sodden in vinegar were applied externally for the king's evil, and boiled in wine were taken internally for "all diseases of the breast and lungs" and one famous London practitioner also prescribed the primrose boiled as a strengthening diet for convalescents. As late as 1837 the primrose could be found in English dispensatories as a sedative. But, apart from its consumption by invalida, the primrose had its place in the bill of fare, and primrose pastry, made of dough and the flowers chopped fine and mixed with sugar, was a common dish in Lancashire—London Chronicle. The Land o' Dreams The world would go to pieces without its dreams. It is all that holds any one of us to the grindstone—all that forces us to support the chain of convention, and the burden we call duty. Somehow there has come into us, a vision of a thing we might do or be—it may be a picture of a trivial or fantastic thing. But it is what we live up to. Dreams rule us. They are the compelling force of the young, the staying force of the middle aged. Dull them and life dulls with them. Take them from us, and we are sodden, plodding beasts.-American Magazine.

MILK-WHITE DEER IS CAUGHT Famous Phantom Animal on Taft Ranch in Texas Had Eluded Hunters for Eight Years. The famous phantom deer, milk white, and said by the Mexicans to bear a charmed life, carrying the madstone, after eight years' persistent hunting, has been killed. The white deer was brought low on the Taft ranch in San Patricio county, east of San Antonio, by G. B. Patterson, assistant foreman on the ranch, which is owned by Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati, Ohio, brother of the president. Hunters from the north, from San Antonio and many other points have camped out for weeks, year after year, awaiting the chance for a lucky shot, but though many glimpses were obtained, never had a spot stained the white of the feet-footed phantom. Eight years ago a fence rider on the ranch saw what he supposed was a white goat, and attempted to rope it. When he came up closer he found that the animal was a milk-white deer, and too fleet for pursuit by an ordinary cow pony. The chaparral and thick mesquite growth aided the deer in its successful evasion of hunters and trappers. Recently, when it was killed, running at a range of more than two hundred yards, for the first time it appeared to be careless. One shot did the work. Albert Friedrich, whose Buckhorn saloon is known all over the country because of its collection of steer horns, deer heads and other trophies of the hunt, pursued the deer every season for the past five years, and while he saw it several times, it was always so far away and running so rapidly that it was useless to shoot it. As soon as he killed the deer Patterson telephoned Friedrich, and the carcass was ordered shipped to San Antonio. It will be sent to a taxidermist and mounted after the most approved fashion. The animal is a buck and has a most unusual horn formation, three spikes on one side and 12 on the other. The Mexicans believe that the madstone is obtained from the stomach of milk-white animals. They were certain the phantom deer carried it, but when Mr. Patterson removed the visceral, looked in both apartments of the double stomach, peculiar to all deer, he failed to find the madstone. Some held, however, the stone is not contained in the stomach, but is found in the connecting part of the stomach. He will make another examination of the visceral in an effort to ascertain if this is true. Abolishing the Cook Let the cook tremble. The end of her reign may be at hand. The help problem may be solved. It all depends upon the accuracy of Dr. Robert Bell's diagnosis, announced at the simple life conference in London. He says we should eat only uncooked food, that not only meats but the "natural foods, fruits and vegetables should be served raw. Listen to him: "Man is the only animal who cooks his food. Among wild animals we don't find disease, we don't find decayed teeth, we don't find cancer. It is only in the animals that come in contact with man that we find disease." Nor is freedom from disease the only benefit from eating uncooked food, according to the doctor. As a consequence we live to greater ages. The "natural food" countries, Scandinavia, Hungary and Bulgaria, he says, are overrun by centenarians, Bulgaria having nearly 4,000, compared with only 78 in pork-eating Germany. His reasons for not cooking food are that in its natural state it contains three times the nutritive value of cooked food. Therefore, we have to eat three times as much and give our digestive organs three times as much work—Pittsburgh Dispatch. Joke on Her Neighbor. A queer old woman had a horse which was the pest of the neighborhood. It especially delighted in grazing on a neighbor's lawn. This was a great annoyance to him, but not wishing to have any trouble he decided to buy the old horse. He made the woman an offer of ten dollars for the old animal, which she declined. About two weeks later she came to her neighbor one day and told him she was very sorry to part with the horse, but as she was in need of a little money she had decide. to accept his money. The neighbor said: "Very well," and drawing out his purse handed her ten dollars. She thanked him profusely and started to leave, when the man bethought himself and said: "Where shall I send to get the horse, madam?" "Oh, he is dead down yonder in the canyon," the woman calmly replied, and marched on out. The Better Way. Senator Depew, at the University club's recent dinner in Washington, sald of a certain reform: "As I take my farewell of politics, I would tell my reforming friends that they are going about this business in the wrong way. I would refer them to Grant's remark about the stream. "When Grant was president, a southerner came to see him about an appropriation to have a certain stream dredged. "Let's see,' said Grant, 'didn't I cross that stream?' "You certainly did, Mr. President,' sald the southerner. "Grant mused a moment, chewing his cigar. Then he said: his cigar. Then he said: "Look here, why don't you macadamia- All Against It. "The harem skirt, or jupe-culotte, won't go in this country. The arguments against it are insuperable." The speaker was Miss Elsie De Wolfe, the best-dressed woman in New York. The scene was a tea at the Colony club. Miss De Wolfe resumed: "Yes, the arguments against the jupe-culotte are as all-embracing as those against the poor man's credit. "A poor man, you know, once asked a banker for credit. The banker answered: "There are two reasons, my friend, why poor men can't get credit. The first is because they are not known, the second is because they are."

She My home in this wonderful valley, where for weeks on three separate exhibitions, I have been hospitably entertained, is for the most part a house of a single story built around two courts or patios. Arriving on foot or horse back, one passes through a wide vestibule into a large patio surrounded by a covered corridor or veranda and the principal rooms of the dwelling. The drawing room is furnished with Brussels carpet, large mirror, marble-topped tables, and expensive upholstered furniture. A piano, too, is here, as in every house where I was entertained. The stranger coming, as he must, on horseback, 90 miles from the seaport of Casina or Sanamco up over the Black range and down into the valley, will wonder how the great mirrors, piano, the heavy French furniture, would be taught to this town to which no railroad is carriage road leads. Neither mile will burrow, the ordinary freight carriers can transport a piano on his back. From Sanamco a cart road leads 30 miles to Moro. For the remaining 90 miles, up over a pass as high as the top of the Matterhorn, 14,700 feet, and down a steep path to the valley, the piano is borne on the shoulders of men. Luckily for the gentilefolk, labor is cheap—30 cents a day.—Annie S. Peck, in Harper's Bazar. HE WAS ON THE WHITE LIST Newcomer Learned Why. Having Suburban Life Served.

He put his name down for contribution, which, as he understood, entitled him to be senaded on Sundays. Sundays came and went. The band played at houses, but never at his. Finally, he bought a house, the band called, not to play, but to collect the donor's subscription. He said: "But you have never played to me." The bandmaster looked surprised.

EDUCATED PORK WAS GOOD And the Circus Property Man Searched for Reuben, the Pet Pig, in Vain. Reuben, a much advertised educated pig belonging to the John Robinson circus, which was showing in this city recently, is no more, says a Cincinnati dispatch to the New York Tribune. His fate was kept secret for a week, for more or less obvious reasons. Hal Newport, the clown of the circus, who appeared slightly in the sawdust arena with the pig, said: "That pig could do anything but talk, and could nearly do that, as he spelled his name with letter blocks. All was confusion the night we broke camp at Terrace Park. We had pork chops for supper, and they were particularly delicious. We were all eating our heads off, when the property man rushed in and cried that Reuben had vanished. "He got mixed up with those pigs that were sent from the stock yards, he gasped. "Was one of those pigs a white one, with black polka dots? I asked the cook." "It was," he replied. "Then we have eaten Reuben," I erled. "The property man is no longer attached to the circus."

Joe Cantillon's merry Millers are converting the American association point system to a merry scramble for second place and question affirmatively that they can Manager Joe Cantillon. get along without "Duredevil" Dave Atitzer and "Long Tom" Hughes. If the Millers did not won the pennant so decisively last year, it is quite possible there would not be so much concern in other camps. Philadelphia in the National league and Detroit in the American league amassed quite as large a margin, and yet critics ex- cept in those two cities do not expect ON THE ON THE GREEN DIAMOND Helene Zimmerman rapidly is showing "he is there." Trying to kill the ball doesn't kill as often as it kills batting averages. Teams may win and teams may lose, but the Tigers growl on forever. Young Wheat of Brooklyn promises to give Frank Schulke a race for Mason and Manage. "The White Sox made nearly as many hits this year as they did in the whole season of 1906," said one fan. Johnson, the Highlanders' shortstop, who has been shy on the batting end, woke up and batted out a home run off Hall of Boston. Scout Fred Lake of the Browns is gum-shoeing around the Eastern league at present, but he has not dug up any players as yet. The Philadelphia fans say that Hans Lobert is a much better third sacker than Eddie Grant. It does seem that way in the score so far. Del Gainor, the new first baseman of the Tigers, seems to be a real ball player. He has made good with the Deltzik, who was such a Jennings. Altiz, who was such a Jennings. In the American association, has been unable to fathom the wiles of the major leaguers. Downey is now on the job. An Amherst collegian who knew Henry as a catcher says that if it were not for the fact that Henry would grow too fat waiting for a chance to replace Street the youngster would be a worthy performer in his old position. Red Dooin is the real leader of the leaders. The Phillies' manager is heading the batting list of the National league, and the Phillies are at the head of the percentage column. The passing of Freddie Parent from the big league was somewhat unexpected, but the dropped out of sight, for the Eastern league is only a notch below the big league. Clarke Griffith is eager to demonstrate he did not get so much the worst of that trade with the Phillies. Some person has discovered that the new cork center ball is responsible for the long distance hits this season. --- into condition for the big games with the English team. The championship games will start at Mineola on May 31. the present leaders to land their respective pennants. But always there is wonderful respect for a previous winner and the hard-hitting Millers with their pitchers going fairly well are a tough proposition. Several of the games won by the Twin City outfit might almost as easily have been captured by the opposition, but it's a habit of stronger clubs to win the close games. If the Millers continue their present gait for another month much of the interest in the ultimate disposition of the pennant will be dissipated in advance. PLAYERS DON'T GET CHANCE Manager Tenney Says Many Young eters Worthy to Trust Prove Their Worthy "Many young ball players do not have a chance to prove their worth with the big teams," says Manager Tenney of the Boston Nationals. "They show enough ability in the minors to warrant scouts recommending them for purchase or draft, but when they report for duty they find there is so much competition that they must sit on the bench rather than play their skill. Soon they are backed into a trial, and in many cases they become discouraged. Those are the very men I want to build up my team. We haven't had a chance to do much scouting, but we are willing to profit by the other clubs' research. I can prove what I say by pointing to Goode and Clarke of my team. They have been with other big clubs but have never had a chance to play regularly until now. Constant practice and induction have helped them develop them into first-class ball players, and I would not displace them if I could. Experience is a big factor in the success of youngsters." GREEN DIAMOND Trying to kill the ball doesn't kill it as often as it kills batting averages. Goode has a finished style in the outfield, judging fly balls well and making no fuss about getting under them Thus far all the heavy hitting of New York teams has been done away from home—mostly in southern training. "Tris" Speaker, the Red Sox run maker, believes that the best kind of a batting average is one that is built while teammates are on the sacks. Nashville, Tenn., is crowing over the fact that Sunday ball can be played there now. It is twenty-eight years since such a thing was possible before. The unconditional release handed Sam Lever by the Pittsburgh club marks the end of the big league career of one of the veterans who has done much for the Pirates. Ant-fat producers have been trying for years to reach Clyde Engle, but handy man of the Red Sox has a reason to be happy. His early season speed is a testimonial.

"Beat the Giants to win the pennant!" is the cry of the Cubs this season. George Mullin, the big Tiger pitcher, is to be operated on if he follows the advice given him by the doctors. Ty Cobb says he likes to step up to the plate when the bases are filled. Most batters like to come up without any one on so they are not blamed so much. Pitcher to Crip, taken last season from the Newark Eastern league club by the St. Louis Brown, insists that he has retired from baseball. Crip was released to the Topeka club, but refused to report --- TRIPLE PLAY IS EXECUTED Hyatt and Corridor Make First One Ever Seen in Kansas City— Pulled Off Quickly. Did you ever see a triple play? It's one hundred to one that you haven't. Old timers will tell you that they have seen the play a number of times, but after thinking they finally remember it was something they had read about. The triple play engineered by Hyatt and Corridor the other day was the first ever witnessed by the writer, and said writer has been taking in the game in Kansas City for 25 years, starting in at a knot hole at old League park and winding up in the grandstand at Association park, Dan Shay says that he saw a pair of the side retracters during his long career on the diamond, but even Daniel can't pull them and where they were pulled off, George Tolson, who played ball 25 years ago, says that he remembers seeing one triple play years ago. He doesn't remember the perpetrators of the act. And so on down the line, says a writer in the Kansas City Star. A triple play occurs in regular baseball circles about once in every five years. Two years ago Neal Ball of the Cleveland Club made a triple play unassisted. Cleveland was playing Boston, and Ball went back of second base, nailed a low liner, stepped on second, and then caught the runner coming from first and tagged him. Harry O'Hagen, playing with Roches, caught the same kind of play in a game against Buffalo about 12 years ago. O'Hagen formerly played with Kansas City. The play engineered by Hyatt and Corridon was pulled so quickly that half of the crowd didn't know what came off. With Fisher on first and Robinson on second Grendorff hit a low line drive on the left side of Hyatt that bore the two-base label. "Hum" stabbed with his gloved hand and seeing that he had caught the ball, raced for first base. Fisher and Robinson were on a dead run. Hyatt no sooner touched the initial bag than he slammed the ball to Corridon, who was covering second. It was a play of quick thinking and a play that saved the day for Kansas City. Triple plays, so we are told, are usually brought about by stupid base JAMES ORENJOFF BRADOM FISHER JIMBEAU HYATT ROBINSON DOWNIE CORRIDEN DOTTED LINE SHOWS COURSE OF BALL Diagram of Triple Play. running, but there was nothing resembling the "bone" in that play. Orendorf was up to sacrifice, but after making two ineffectual attempts he was forced to hit. The base runners were playing close to the bags when Orendorf slammed the ball and it was only quick work on the part of Hyatt that made the play possible. Scattering Notes of the Diamond Weaver is the Overall of 1911. Glants are not slowing up approcably. Managing a major league ball team is no bed of roses. Connie Mack's men do not seem to be able to get out of the rut. Ninth inning railies appear to be as popular as ever with the Tigers. Titus and Magge apparently have discovered the way to slug the cork. The Boston scribes already are calling Fred Tunney the team the Forlorn Hopes. Weaver promises to be as great a surprise this season as was "King" Cole last year. President Fogel probably is glad by this time he allowed Manager Doole to have his own way. Artie Hofman evidently thinks he has to smash all his bats in order to keep Kaiser out of the lineup. Weaver was dubbed a second Mordecal Brown by the fans, on account of the nerve he showed in a ninth inning pluch. The Cubs can play ball without Chance in the battle line. If you don't believe it ask any member of the Pittsburgh team. Ping Bodle likes a heavy bat. He used to tote ice that weighed in the hundreds and says he does not mind a few ounces added to his war club. Roy Patterson, the old Sox twirler, has an assortment of brand new curves this year, and he is likely to be back in the big league next spring. Motion of Boilers.

Mount Glenwood Cemetery Association GUILE OF DRONGO CUCKOO Protected by Its Resemblance to Pugnacious Shrike, Lays Its Eggs Where It Pleases. A striking example of protective covering in birds has just been added to the collection of the Brooklyn Institute Music Museum, a drongo shrike and a drongo cuckoo. The shrike is a bird of pugnacious disposition, especially at the nesting season, when it guards its nest with for a small bird, great ferocity. Douglas Dewar, from whom this account is taken, says that he has watched a pair of these little birds attack and drive away a monkey which tried to climb into the tree in which their nest was placed. Indeed, so able a bird was placed that some other birds, notably orioles, frequently build their nests in the same tree in order to share the benefit of his prowess. The drongo cuckoo hays its eggs in the nests of such birds as the king crow. These are jugnacious, even ferocious, and without some guile a cuckoo could not accomplish this feast. But the drongo cuckoo is so like the drongo shrike, even having the same odd twist to its tall feathers, that the king crown is deceived by the resemblance and hesitates to give fight to what she takes to be one of the pugenicious shrieks. WAS BEGINNING TO OXIDIZE That Was the Diagnosis of Skin Die ease in the Litho- graphic Pregnan A lithographic pressman, who has had a lot of trouble with metal plates in his time, was recently taken ill and went to the Post-graduate hospital on a day that a clinic was being held.

He short time the professor who was to learn the class came in, accompanied by a patient which was afflicted with some sort of skin ease which made his face appear rough and unsightly. The professor began to "quiz" the students as to the probable cause of the disease and its cure. The lithographer listened with interest. After a while it came his turn to answer questions. Being asked opinion as to the cause of the eruptions, and not to be caught without an answer, he told him, new game, he said: "I do not know exactly what alls him, but it looks to me as if the cuss was beginning to oxidize."—National Lithorg师.

Cemetery Association Cadet on Home Visit Surprises Young Brother and Teaches Him Good Lesson. When Bob, our gallant West Point cadet, came home for his long lough, he slept with 12-year-old Dick. In the morning he thoroughly shocked Master Lazybones by stripping the clothes from the bed and putting the room in good order before he came down to breakfast. Dick's eyes were rounder than ever when Bob explained that every cadet was required to keep the room and clothes in immaculate condition. Before the end of Bob's furthellough the boys turned the cozy little room into a nare apartment which Dick cared for with great pride. The wholesome discipline and results of the West Point training seem to us to offer valuable lessons to American parents and teachers. Shortly after Bob's visit the question of extra spending money worked itself out in a very satisfactory way. Dick often tailed for things that were beyond the limits of his moderate allowance. He is now able to add to his income by working around the house and grounds. Each hour of conscientious effort adds six cents to his allowance. Consequently he is eager to wash windows, sweep, weed, paint, wash windows, and do many other things that he formerly regarded as particularly obnoxious. His parents and friends have noticed, with amusement that the money he has earned is spent with much greater discrimination than that which is given to him. "Harper's Bazar." NOT JUST WHAT HE WIRED Wife Refused to Wall, but It Was No Wonder That She Was Angry. A speaker at a dinner in New York, said of certain customs dodgers: "They do very incriminating things, then they claim that these things are mistakes. Granting them to be mistakes, they are suspicious—as suspicious as the business man's wire. He is a young business man got a wire from his husband the other evening that said: "Shall dine with Milly Brown, an old gal of mine. Will be late. Don't wall for me." "When the business man reached home at midnight, his wife met him in the hall. "Wall for you! she sneered. Why, I wouldn't wall for the best man that ever lived. Let alone you!" "Why, dear—he stammered. Why, building into tears, she handed him the telegram, and in a jiffy he explained that what he had really wired was: "Shall dine with Milly Brown, an old pal of mine. Will be late. Don't wait for me." "A good wife is heaven's greatest gift to man and the rarest gem the earth holds," remarked Mr. Jarphy, the other morning.

Sunday, May 19, was a gals day at the Institutional ehureh. College men and women gathered from all ends of the city to do honor to the memory of old college days at the various uni- versities from whence they eame and sing praise for those who are to follow in their wake. These young people sang with the lamentation of the ‘serfs of Europe, hoping that some one in their race will make the pioneer move in a business way to open the doors of hope for them as does the Jew and other races for their fellows. There are in Chicago over 2,00 men and women worth over $10,000 who could establish a business by giving 31,000 each which would employ over 200 boys and girls and put them on a footing which would make them more Tespected by other races than they are at the present time, Great joy would echo throughout America, at least for a daily paper that at least 50 of our young men and women may get a chance to use their education and trade and make them independent. The colored man must make work for himself if he wishes to compete with others; the young Negro has the edu. cation, the older ones have the money and experience; why not begin enter. prizes?

Much interest is being manifested at the early Sunday morning prayer meetings. Sunday, May 7, the meeting was led by one of our young converts, Mr. George Williams.

Sunday a reporter invaded Wilmette, IL, and found that fifty percent of the colored inhabitants read the Chicago Defender. The population is composed of Mr. J. S. Smith, a grocery man, and a Mr. Saunders. Mr. Smith is doing a fine business, having been in Wilmette for twenty-six years. Mr. Smith has two furnished or unfurnished rooms. Also a flat to rent. A swell location for some good colored people. Mrs. Frank Davenport, 1463 Elmwood avenue, who is now on a farm out from Niles, Mich. for her health, writes back that she is doing fine and regaining health rapidly. Mrs. P. R. Perry, 1015 Indiana avenue, Wichita, Kansas, has been in our city for a few days, having come here on business. She has been stopping at 1725 Ridge avenue. In Chicago the people are fighting the five and ten cent theaters because they have moving pictures and players who do not bring morals home to children. On Thursday evening a play was staged in Evanston that did not carry a good moral with it. Shang phrases were used; "nigger" was the pass word, and pistols and pistol shooting was the climax. The people of the same church, where this play was staged, are going to give a play that carries a fine moral with it, but they dare not bring it to church. The members of Ebenezer would think twice before bringing these plays into the house of God, regardless from where they come. It is indeed embarrassing to be made fun of in the streets, but it is twice as perplexing to be laughed at in church, especially if you are a stranger. This was the condition that a young woman from Chicago was thrown into last Thursday night at Ebenezer church, when a crowd of rufians made fun of her because, by the blessings of God, she was "dark." I don't want to call names but should this occur again, not only at Ebenezer but elsewhere in our fair city, person will have it called to their attention through our columns. Mr. J. H. Dunson of Lawrenceville, Il., has been in our little city for the past week, having been called here on account of the death of his sister, Ella. William Smith Confesses Murder. On Thursday, May 11, Miss Elia Dunson was murdered in North Evanson, near Lincoln street and the canal. son was murdered in North Evanson, near Lincoln street and the canal. For three days, William Smith, the confessed murderer, baffled the police of our city, but last Sunday, after going through the third degree, according to police talk, he broke down and made an avowal. Thursday afternoon Miss Dunson met Smith at the Central street station of the Northwestern "L." According to witnesses, they quarreled while standing there; they walked westward on Central street together, and later a report of a pistol was heard and Miss Dunson was found prostrate on the ground near the canal. She was shot just under the left eye, through the left hand, and a aligned wound in the left side. Smith beat a precipitous retreat to the post office, where he is employed as night fanor. Later in the evening he was arrested by the police. He gave such a straightforward story that he was released. The following day he was again arrested but, as on the previous day, he made such clear statements he was again set free. At the inquest he made straight statements and no guilt pointed toward him. Sunday afternoon Chief Freed Shaffer was informed that Smith knew more about the mystery than any other living person. He was again arrested, and it was at this junction that he broke down and made a signed confession. Tuesday evening he was taken to the county jail where he will await the action of the grand jury. Miss Elta Dunson was born March 28, 1871, in Lawrenceville, Ill. For the past eight years she has been living in Evanston. At the time of her death she was employed by Mrs. M. Johnson, 1716 Sherman avenue. She leaves behind four brothers and four sisters. Her will was made out to her niece, Mrs. P. R. Perry, of Wichita, Kans. The body was shipped to Lawrence- ville Wednesday evening and the funeral took place Thursday noon. K. of P. Uniform Ranks. The Evanston Uniform Rank, better known as the John Early Lash Uniform Rank, K. of P., marched out of their most beautiful hall Sunday at noon, looking as clean and as neat as if they had just come out of a band box. They marched down to Chicago and won the praise as being the best equipped company of the entire battalion. From the time that Sergt. Walden lined up his men, until they broke ranks to go to their homes, they showed in every action that they were not only secret society men, but that they possessed military spirit. Capt. Jerry Reed is full of amiles and declares that he has the best company of men to be found anywhere in this country. Quartermaster Ballenger made the speech of his life at Quinn Chapel, and was immediately voted as orator of the Uniform Rank. Mrs. W. F. Garnett, 1615 Benson avenue, has been quite ill the past week. Mrs. W. J. O'Neal left Wednesday for Davenport, Iowa, after a pleasant visit with her daughter, Miss G. O'Neal. Mr. H. Bird, 1721 Benson avenue, spent Sunday afternoon and evening with friends Chicago. Mrs. Julia Wilson entertained the Sewing Circle Tuesday evening. Mr. Cifford Stacks, Bike, Equestrian Farewell. Mr. Clifford Starks, one of Cincinnati's progressive young men, who has been living with us for the last year, left Tuesday morning for his home. But before leaving, Mr. Starks turned on what might be termed a "stunt." About twelve of his very dear Evanson young men friends were invited over to his home Monday evening, and a fine time was spent in card playing, tale telling, cigar smoking and the like. Mrs. Gertrude Webb and son, Charles, of Dodge City, Kan., spent a few days in Evanson last week with her mother-in-law, Mrs. J. E. Webb, 1462 Elmwood avenue. Mrs. Webb left Tuesday morning for Washington, D. C. Mrs. C. Starks, 1462 Elmwood avenue, will entertain the J. F. F. Club Friday evening. Mrs. Frank Davenport, 1463 Elmwood avenue, left Sunday afternoon for Niles, Mich., to spend a few weeks on the farm. Mrs. Davenport goes out there feeling that the country air, fresh eggs, butter and milk will soon restore her to health. We all pray that Providence will aid her in recuperating. Mr. L. H. Owens, Jr., our sweet tenor, will sing a solo at institutional Church. Sunday at 11 o'clock services. Mr. Owens will be the guest of Mrs. J. Thomas, 3637 Forest avenue. The Children's Concert.

A more extended notice will appear later. Mrs. J. R. Todd, 4621 N. Clark street, a member of Ebenezer A. M. E. Choir, gave her husband a happy surprise on Saturday evening, in honor of his birthday. The house was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and palms. In one corner of the dining room was a very pretty well, planned and arranged by Mrs. Todd and Mrs. Jack Clark. Throughout the evening the lads and lassies were found going to the well to refresh themselves. An impromptu program was rendered. Piano solo, Miss F. White; solo, Mr. H. Bird; reading, Mrs. Todd; solo, Miss G. O'Neal; piano solo (by request), Mrs. Todd; reading, Mrs. Jack Clark. A dainty two-course repast was served. A very enjoyable evening was spent, Mr. Todd was so overcome with surprise and happiness that he could scarcely contain himself. Evanson guests, with Chicago guests, are lauding the praises of Mrs. Todd. Ebenezer A. M. E. Church. The pastor preached both morning and evening at Ebenezer last Sunday. There were four persons to unite with the church during the day. The progressive luncheon, which was given by the Church Aid, with Mrs. Cora Morris and Carrie Breacenridge as leaders, proved to be the finest thing of its kind yet given in the church. The lecture room was a scene of beauty, with flowers and other choice decorations. Then, some twenty in all were dressed in pretty white dresses, and served the guests with much grace and dignity. They cleared enough to pay for the collection plates, had a nice sum to lay aside for other purposes. About twenty-five young people meet in the pastor's study last Thursday night and were organized into a society known as the "King's Daughters." Miss Margaret Wiley, president; Jennie Byrd, treasurer; Lydia Davis, secretary, and Birdie Petford, corresponding secretary. The Circle will meet at the church every Thursday night. The purpose of the young people is to co-operate with the Parsonage Aid in beautifying the church premises, and fixing the parsonage. Everybody is anxious to see the parsonage have a new dress of paint. The Missionary met with Mrs. Hattie Cannon last Friday night. There was a good attendance. Mr. N. J.

Well, there was no crying at Mrs. Minnie Perry's and Mrs. Fannie Ellison's, last Sunday. The pastor and wife being a little strange, the children were rather curious. The cry may have come when the bills were settled. The members of the Missionary Societyomen to be on no hurry to tell how the bills were settled. The rain seems to interfere with the Missionary Society on Monday evening. However, there were a few who answered "faithful." Blaters:— "Put on the Gospel armor, Rev. J. Swanson, of Maywood, will preach to us Sunday, at 11 o'clock a.m. Subject for Wednesday evening, May 17, will be: "The Nobleman's Son cured," Jno. 4:46-64.

The Deaconsesses will meet at the parsonsage Sunday, immediately after the morning service, to organize for more definite work. Each sister is expected to be present. Resolutions From Young People's Progressive Club. Evanston, Ill. May 3, 1911. Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God, in His infinite wisdom, and the boundlessness of His providence, to remove from our midst our beloved fellow club man and brother, James Burrell, a young man who was in the bloom of manhood; one who long enjoyed the friendship and esteem of all who knew him, whose genial companionship and sterling worth were recognized and appreciated by all his friends and acquaintances. Therefore, be it. Resolved, That "The Young People's Progressive Club" express deep regret in his guidance in an affable and valuable manner; extend a grief-striken sister our deepest and sincerest condolence at her loss and, we trust Heaven's gain. Be is further Resolved, That these resolutions be recorded on the minutes-book of the "Young People's Progressive Club. that a copy of them be given to the bereaved sister, and that they be published in the "Chicago Defender," and the "Illinois Chronicle." By order of the "Young People's Progressive Club." J. P. PRIESTLY, president, N. C. BLAIR, secretary. A Word About Our Paper. We are proud to state that the Defender has really made good in Evanston. We are now on a footing to compete, not only with local newspapers, but we feel fully competent to compete with any newspaper in the country. The success that this paper has been able to make is due to the honest, determined and hardy support that I have received from my friends and acquaintances. I am doubly indebted to our three pastors and their churches for the support they have so patiently given me from time to time. I wish I had space to print the names of those persons who, out of good judgment, chose the Defender. I will, however, take this opportunity to any supporters for their cooperation. Every effort is being put forth to better this paper each week. But while we are putting forth our efforts we will fall short of results if we cannot get the fullest support from our subscribers. Speak of our paper in your clubs and societies; advise your chums and your sweethearts to read the Defender. Help us to increase our patronage and we assure you that in the same degree that you help us, in the same degree will we be able to improve our paper. We never refuse to publish your news. We are always glad to say a helping or an encouraging word about you. In a word, the Defender is your paper, and it is now up to you to get the most out of it. But I could not speak of the success of this paper without saying a word about the important part that Miss F. A. White has taken in the developing of the success of this paper. Her careful and steady labor, along with her honest and right thinking, is the real secret of the success of the Evans School. And I want to thank Miss White and my other teachers and friends. I want to assure one that if through me the Defender has meant anything to you in the past, it will be even more valuable to you in the future. VELASQUEZ A CHEAP ARTIST As Court Painter He Received $11 a Month When He Was About Twenty-five Years Old. Don Caspar de Guzman, Conde-Duque d'Ollivarez, born in Rome in 1687, became the first minister of Philip IV, in 1621, was dismissed in 1643 after a career of mismanagement and died in exile two years later. A patron of the painter's, it was through him that Velausquez at twenty-four beaten painter to the young king at eighteenth Velausquez paint a number of portraits for his retoucher. The notable example, which has recently been presented to the Hispanic museum of New York, was painted when Velausquez was about twenty-five years old, shortly after he came to court. The canvas, measuring 51 by 88 inches, came from Capt. Robert S. Hoffold of London, in whose possession it had long been held after having passed through the Baffle sale in 1858, when it sold for £598 10s., and the Scaribrick gate in 1861, when it sold for £262 10s., very moderate sums compared to the superior figure said to have been paid for recently. At the time it was painted Velasquez was receiving $11 a month for his services as court painter.—W. Stanton Howard, in Harper's Magazine. CIGAR DEALER'S READY WIT Philadelphian Takes Advantage of Customer's Mistake to Hasten Payment of His Account. Harry Petosky, who conducts a cigar store in Philadelphia is the possessor of an old fashioned typewriter upon which he makes, out bills and occasionally writes a letter. At the end of every typewritten page he is in the habit of putting H. P.—I. C. S., the first two being his initials and the last set for Independent Cigar Store. A few weeks ago, in writing to a delinquent customer to remit his account, he forgot to attach the series of letters. The customer, noting the detection in the letter, answered at once, saying in part: "What has become of your stonograph since you wrote notice you did not put H. P.—I. C. S., our written letter." For the time surprised at the false impression he had been creating, Harry, with ready wit, answered at once: "Had to fire the poor girl this week, because you're holding a week's salary that I wanted to give her. Please remit at once." To Remove Paint From Windows. In the spring of the year when there is so much painting done many people are annoyed by having their window-panes flocked and smeared with paint. If you rub briskly with hot acid vinegar you will find this effectual in removing paint.—Harper's Bazar.

Live Agents Wanted. Write Quick for J. "YES, I'M A GREAT AUTHOR" Reade, Balzac and Sue Puffed Their Own Works as Being Fine Literature. Authors in "the good old days" were not above writing their own puffs, a writer in the Bohemian says, Charles Reade wrote a long article on himself for Once a Week, in which he said: "It is impossible to speak too high of the Closister and the Heathart. It is one of the most scholarlike and learned as well as one of the most artistic and beautiful works of fiction in any language. Read him. Resign yourself to the magic spell of his genius. The effect of 'Foul Play' is perfectly marvelous. It leaves the stories of every other sensational writer behind." Nor was Balzac in France above praising own works. "If you have not been born a story teller," he wrote in a review, "you will never obtain the popularity of 'M. de Balzac.' And what a story teller! What nerve and wit! How the world is dissected by this man! What passion and coolness!" But the height of literary advertisement in the first half of the last century was reached in the case of Eugene Sue's famous novel, "The Wandering Jew." Every little white the daily installment in the newspaper in which it was appearing would be missing, and in its place would be an announcement that M. Sue was suffering from a slight indisposition and readers would be obliged to wait 48 hours or new developments of the narrative, all the while M. Sue himself was industrious to publishers by posing overdressed and with spurs in his boots at the Cafe de Paris in an attitude of deepest abstraction, as if wondering what the next installment would be about." Fine Sentiment. In an English home at Winchester we find above the lintel of the door this charming sentiment: "Farewell goes out sighing; welcome ever smiles" and a hall panel has, "The Lord keep thee in thy going out and coming in." We are all familiar with the Italian word "salve," meaning welcome, that is found quite often in the vestibules of hotels or public houses where meals are served. It is not an advertisement for salve, as a man from the country with more money than brains told his wife. Silly Premonitions The utter uselessness of premonitions is shown in this: That even if true they are of no help; they do not fortify us to meet calamity, but weaken us and render us feeble to resist fortune. And if trouble is coming, the heart it is with a stout heart an da brain r fogged by the nonsense of dread. EVANSTON IT WAS A TRAGEDY. How Professor Branfog Gol Up in Carrying Out His Instructions. The people didn't merely Professor Branfog—they sta knew he was absent minded and he wondered whether rubbed his foot boot peated of cold cream after shaved, or whether he had to change his dressing gown frock cont. 13 But a kind policeman outings right. "Are you aware, sir, that you are carrying a joint of beet in your arms?" he asked. "Goodness me!" said the professor. "I know something was wrong. My wife told me to put her Sunday hat on the bed, to place this joint in the oven and to take the baby and the dog out for a walk." "You've not put the baby in the oven, surely?" said the law's guardian. "I put something in it," said Branfog; "but I don't know whether it was the baby or the dog." Wife bated breath they hurried to the house. Here, on the bed, lay the baby the dog; but it was just as bad for Branfog. It was his wife's Sunday hat that was in the oven! EASY, HONORABLE WAY OUT French Ambassador's Good Story of a French Duke Illustrates His Definition of Diplomacy. The French ambassador, at one of the superb dinners at the embassy in Washington, said of diplomacy: "Diplomacy may be defined as a way out—an easy, pleasant, honorable way out. "A young royalist duke, from a stor current about him, is well versed in diplomacy. "This young man vultasted a millionaire in Cannes during the Riviera season, and his host's daughter was thrown at his head—so much so, in fact, that when he came to leave Cannes his hostess took him aside and declared surely: "It's reported all over that you art to, marry Claire. I don't know what, to say to people." "The duke smiled easily. "Oh, just tell them, he said, 'that Claire refused me.'" A Fly Killer.

It means almost instant death to the flies and the stuff is harmless.
