White Gentlemen Who Kill Colored Men for Keeping Company with Colored Ladles Names Never Reach Associated Press News—Only Ones Sent In is Where Mob Do Work—One Hundred Men Killed From May 20th to May 31st of Which No Record Is Made "Let this truth never be forgotten—that whatever a man or a nation sows that they shall also reap. The white man who murders a negro today and goes unpunished, is likely to murder a white man tomorrow and go unpunished. There is but one rule that will stand the test of the centuries and that is the enforcement of all laws in every section of the country without regard to race, class, or color. I especially commend the stand the governor of Alabama has taken with regard to lynchings and the efforts he is now making to put down mob violence in this state. "These outbreaks on the part of the mobs result not only in the moral degradation of the people but they serve as a set-back to business in an alarming degree among both races. I plead everywhere for the exact enforcement of the laws not only in the interest of the colored race but in the interest of all races. As I have said elsewhere there are in my mind two remedies for mob justice. First of all, let us unite in a determined effort everywhere to see that the law is enforced; let all people at all times and in all places see that the man charged with crime is given a fair trial. Secondly, let all good citizens unite to rid the community, especially the large cities, of the vicious and gambling and criminal element. "Such an effort should have the heartiest cooperation of the better class of Negroes. They should use their influence, especially in the cities, to see that the idle element that lives by its wits, without permanent or reliable occupation or place of abode, is either reformed or gotten rid of in some manner; for in most cases it is this element that commits the crimes for which the entire race has to suffer."

Class Day at Hampton. At 2:30 to day the several divisions — academic, agricultural, domestic science, postgraduate, trade—of the graduating class of Hampton Institute assembled on the porch of the "Mansion House," which is the home of Dr. and Mrs. Frissell, and held class day exercises which were in the hands of the senior academic class. The program follows: Prayer by Rev. George T. Scott; salutatory address, K. Keturah Person, Weldon, N. C.; class history, Maud B. Smith, Almagro, Va.; class song, words and music written by C. Victor Manuel, a Pima Indian, Casa Blanca, Ariz; address to undergraduates, Charles W. Booth, Ark, Va.; valedictory, David J. B. McAllister, Fayetteville, N. C. Academic Class of 1911.

All the boys, except four, finished their trade course at Hampton—four farmers, four bricklayers, three blacksmiths, five carpenters, two steamfitters, two printers, one machinist, one cabinetmaker, and one wheelwright. The fifty-four young men and women of the Negro and Indian races go from Hampton with enthusiasm and a willingness to assist others. Their class motto has been: "Amid Difficulties We Ascend." Dr. Frissell's Parting Words. Dr. Frissell, before presenting the diplomas and certificates to the members of the graduating classes, spoke earnestly to the Hampton students concerning the use of the treasures which the Hampton School had committed to their care. He outlined the ```markdown ``` --- --- Speech to the Chicago Defender. Tuskegee, Ala., June 2.—On May 25 Booker T. Washington expressed himself to a representative of the Defender that as a man deeply concerned in the welfare of the south he was very much grieved and humiliated because of the carnival of crime that swept over Florida and Georgia last Sunday. He said that such things ought not to happen with out challenging the rebukes and condemnation not only of the immediate sections where these lynchings occurred but of the entire south. "The lynching of eight human beings on the Sabbath was a disgrace to Christian civilization. It is hard to understand how any nation of people can expect to retain the confidence and respect of the world when such occurrences are permitted to take place in our midst, especially on the Sabbath day. "In connection with the men lynched, it should be understood that in no case was anyone charged with an assault upon a woman. There was not the slightest reason why every person lynched might not have received a full and fair trial before the courts. "It is such lynching outbreaks as this that give the people of Europe the impression that we are an unclevized, harboring people. Every one of these lynchings is widely reported in foreign paners. "If it is asked why I do not condemn, in this statement, the persons lynched, I would state that I have no right to condemn any human being for a crime until the law says he is guilty of a crime. "The United States is placed in a very awkward position just now in attempting to lead the way in the matter of bringing about international peace, when in one day—the Sabbath-eight persons are put to --- Numbers Hampton, Va., June 2.--Commencement Week at Hampton Institute opened on Sunday, May 21, with the baccalaureate sermon by Rev. George T. Scott, the school's associate chaplain, on "Perfection Through Suffering," based on Hebrews 2:8-18. Mr. Scott declared that the Hampton spirit stands for "calm persistence upward." Dr. Hollis B. Frissell then gave a short, stirring talk to the large graduating class on the meaning of overcoming difficulties. He quoted the lines of that old hymn, "The Son of God Goes Forth to War," which have inspired countless lives. "Go out," he said, "and serve the people who need help. Give them your service and thereby reap the greatest possible opportunity and uplift for yourself." Competitive Drill. On Monday afternoon six companies of cadets, aggregating four hundred students, competed for a silver loving-cup offered by Major T. W. Winston, of Fort Monroe. Military bearing, neatness of appearance, attention and effort on the part of men and officers were taken into account. Concerts. A concert of vocal music was given under the direction of the Hampton teachers of singing—Miss Bessio L. Drow and Miss Adelardo L. Hutchins. A band concert, under the leadership of William M. O. Tessmann, revealed the possibility of training Negro and Indian musicians. Modern Farm Life. The senior agricultural and domestic science classes, consisting of ten boys and nine girls, presented an interesting sketch, "Home Life on a Modern Farm," which showed the large audience the kind of rural home life the Hampton graduates will strive for and the way to make farm life more attractive. Students were seen making and baking bread, washing dishes and scrubbing floors, operating a sowing machine, working and printing but The death without any semblance of a trial. story of the pilgrim priests who were sent with the sacred treasures from Babylon to Jerusalem with these words ringing in their ears: "Keep them until ye weigh them in Jerusalem in the chambers of the house of God." Dr. Frissell declared that Hampton Institute and all who were connected with its work were committed to the care and keeping of the boys and girls who go forth as leaders to battle for character. In conclusion, Dr. Frissell pointed out that the Hampton students must use their treasures. They must see to it that their minds grow stronger, their hearts become more loving, and their will power stronger. For to whom much is given much will be required. He expressed his belief in those who were being sent abroad to scatter the Hampton idea. The 8th Regiment will hold Field Day BISHOP DERRICK DAUGHTER Special to the Chicago Journal Oberlin, Ohio, J.

The funeral of Mr. Wm. F. Leffett, 4555 Chumphain avenue, was held on Sunday last from his late residence. The remains were taken in charge by the Foresters. With their business way of doing things, they had one of the most beautiful home funerals we have seen in years in Chicago, everything being done with quiet. Mother Sarah Leffett is pleased at the way the Foresters have treated her son, and says, "I never thought for one moment that such care would continue." Mr. John Leffett, a brother from Milwaukee, and a wife and 9-year-old daughter were left to mourn him. Friends remembered them lavishly with flowers and designs. Many telegrams of regrets were received from friends from a distance. The Defender's sympathy goes out to the bereaved family. SCOTT WALKER DEAD. special to the Chicago Historical St. Paul, Minn., June 2.—Mr. Scott Walker, one of our retired business men, died here on Memorial Day and was buried on Thursday. He was worth $200,000, owning property both here and in Chicago. His bosom friend, Henry (Teenan) Jones, a wealthy business man; Steve Buckner, headman at Palmer House barber shop; and Mrs. Ware, of Louisville, Ky., arrived here Wednesday morning. These three were bosom friends and each made promises to keep in touch all through life and they have. MR. MOSES SAMUELS UNDER SUSPICION. Mr. Moses Samuels, 6501 Rhodes avenue, is under a ban by his friends. He invited fifty or more guests to his home Tuesday to play whist. He offered three prizes and they were all won by members of his house, he winning the booby, Mrs. Samuels took first, and a friend that rooms with them took second. Mose is trying to explain—but egg nog was served before the game. MRS. C. G. MARTIN GIVES MR. BINGA THE HORSE LAUGH. Mrs. C. G. Martin, late of 3636 Forest avenue and now of the same number, sent out invitations to her many friends to attend a card party at her home on Memorial night, giving the above number. Of course they began to wonder, knowing that only a few days before that Mr. Blinga had put her things out on the street; but it was O. K., for she had the party and she told how she did it. Well, she is back, and Attorney W. L. Martin told a reporter for the Defender he had to get her back, as the little reputation he had as a lawyer was at stake. Then, too, he said: "I want my clients to continue to have their bath and gas and steam heat, so I just had to show those great big white trust lawyers that the 'coon' lawyer had more books in his brain than they had in their great suite of rooms; believe me, I did. I might have been napping last week, but I am wide awake this, bub." Mr. Martin says he will keep his clients in the house another year and collect some damages for the ouster. Mr. Blinga has set apart $5,000 to fight the case and they have just begun to lock horns. It is learned the building was sold this week to the new owner, who will take on the trouble Attorney Martin took forty men and two vans and had the house in complete condition in three hours Decoration Day. He says he started to face the old janitor, but after considering his age he let the old man off. That old janitor is like a fly in summer time; he just hangs on to annoy; he even called the police to us, but after I showed the police those valuable papers I drove him off of Mrs Martin's steps. Now we will have no more trouble. I intend to use every thing in the form of law to protect my good name as a lawyer and my client as a citizen. MR. HUGH McKINNON RETURNS FROM SOUTH ON BUSINESS TRIP. Mr. McKinnon, advertising man for W. H. Bowers & Co., 6 F. 31st street, returned to the city on Friday after an extended business trip for his firm and for a colored gentleman of means who, because of being a bad "nigger" and wanted to contend for his white father's estate, had to leave between two suns. Mr. McKinnon went down, settled the estate, which amounted to $125,000, returned to the city well tanned, but says, "I brought the bacon homo and a $1,500 commission and all expenses." He likes the South only to visit, he says. See the Real Battle between Companies A. B. & C. and D. E. & F.

Oberlin, Ohio, June 2.—Bishop and Mrs. W. B. Derrick of Flushing, N. Y., were called by telegram to Oberlin, O., on account of the severe illness of their daughter, Lillian Jones Derrick, who had appendicitis. She was removed to the hospital and her parents wired for Dr. Daniel Williams of Chicago to come to perform the operation. The time was too short, however, and a surgeon was called from Cleveland, attended by two Oberlin doctors. Miss Derrick was indeed brave and cheerful throughout all her suffering and the operation being a successful one it is hoped that she will return to her boarding hall to remain until the close of the school term. 3032 Wabash Avenue. The inclement weather prevented many from attending the joint meeting of the Frederick Douglass Center and the Institutional church at the latter place Sunday evening, May 28. An excellent program was carried out with Dr. A. J. Carey presiding, the occasion being the discussion of the Child Welfare Exhibition which was held at the Coliseum during the past two weeks. As the exhibition was arranged in sections to represent the various agencies which make for the advancement of childhood the program Sunday night was accordingly arraigned, Dr. Carey speaking of the work accomplished by the churches in the city, Mrs. Cella Parker Woolley on the Settlements, Mrs. Alberta Moore-Smith telling of the wonderful work of the Juvenile Court and Mrs. Van der Vaart, of Neighborhood House, gave a description of the children who work in the streets selling newspapers and other street occupations. The exhibition committees were generous in the display of the pictures of the various activities of the church and center; also they gave us a large picture of the three colored nurses of the Visiting Nurse Association. The annual meeting of the Frederick Douglass Center was held Tuesday evening, May 23rd. The secretary, Mr. S. Laugh Williams, read his report which showed progress along many lines. The leaders of classes explained their respective duties and Mrs. Woolley spoke for the propaganda work. The three retiring directors, Mrs. Woolley, Mrs. F. L. Barnett and Mr. William Elliot Furness, were re-elected. Dr. G. C. Hall was elected treasurer. The Sunday afternoon meetings will be resumed during the summer under the leadership of Mrs. Antanette Crump-Cone, whose standing as a leader of social factors is well known. Her first meeting will be the first Sunday in July, the 2nd, at 4 p. m. DR. AND MRS. HALL GOING TO SCHOOL. Dr. George C. Hall will leave tonight for Lincoln University, in Pennsylvania, to attend the Alumni. This is the doctor's 25th year since he left school. After the exercises, he will leave for North Post, L.

Mrs. William Leflett, 4555 Champlain avenue, wishes to thank her many friends for their kindness to her during the prolonged illness and recent death of her husband, William Franklin Leflett. The Ancient Order of Foresters, she says, has been our friend; they were both early and late, and even when my husband wrapped the drapery of his couch about him and went off in pleasant dreams they (the Foresters) were there. They have proven themselves brothers, and as long as I do live I'll never forget their kindness and that of my many friends who stuck to me when I needed them. Thanking you again and again, I still remain your bereaved friend. Mrs. W. F. Leflett, Mother Sarah Leflett, John Leflett. To some women life is nothing but going from one style to another. MR.

Cites Pullman Porters Officials of the road yesterday advanced a number of reasons for the change, chief among which was that colored ushers are easier to obtain, and that inasmuch as the Pullman porters are now all of that race it was thought advisable to make the system uniform throughout. Another reason given was that colored men make better servants and are less independent than white men. "There is no particular reason for the change," said R. H. Alshton, vice president of operation, yesterday, "except that it is now considered the proper thing to have colored ushers and porters. All of the Eastern roads have had them for many years, and we are falling into line. A white man who is willing to act as an usher is usually without ambition and is unreliable. Colored men are more adapted to the work." Praises Anderson as Gentleman. Praises Anderson as Gentleman. Another official, who refused to be quoted, advanced another reason. Henry Anderson, an aged colored man, who has been connected with the Northwestern for more than thirty years, is a particular favorite of ex-President Marvin Hughitt, now chairman of the board of directors, and has been given the position of chief usher as a reward for faithful service. He always accompanied President Hughitt on his trips in a private car and is considered a privileged character. "Henry" is known from one end of the line to the other, and it is considered not unlikely that it was through his influence that the change was determined upon. White Men Not Let Out. The white ushers now employed by the Northwestern, according to Vice President Alskott, will be given better positions when the new depot is opened. These, however, are up in arms, and may possibly make a formal protest, for this particular employment is considered a bananza. Although the wages of an usher are only $20 a month the tips average four times that amount, and they object to being denied this income. Colored Men Don't Get Pay in New York.

Mr. Anderson secured his men and told them on the opening day that it was up to them to keep the place open for colored men; if they lose they can blame themselves. When the Northwestern Railroad directors reached their decision they decided upon Mr. Henry Anderson, one of their oldest and best colored employees to have full charge of the "red caps," and he immediately procured a corps of 27 men to look after the wants of the travelling public. He also procured William Bell as his excellent assistant. Among the successful men are John Peaks, Joo Curry, Joo Shoecraft, William Caswell, Richard Jackson, Mr. Saunders, William Owens, Mr. Solomon, Mr. Curtis and others. It is the consensus of opinion that if the colored men prove efficient, the many other stations will willingly install colored "red caps." Daily Papers Against Negroes. The Chicago daily papers were called upon during the week by white foreigners to bring pressure to bear on the Northwestern Railroad to force the company to retain the foreigners in the positions in the now depot, as they did in the old. Many of the newspaper reporters went so far as to tell the president that they did not permit a "nigger" to wash their windows. Everything was to let the officials of the rail company know that their action not sanctioned by the daily p and the working classes of whit Threats Made to Kill Colored Threats were made to kill a fire the colored "red caps" off, and rest would quit; but it seemed one of the men who was in the teamsters' strike, spoke up and "Well, boys, if you take a tip me you will leave those "alone," but the situation on; for a few moments when blooded foreigner, who can speak about a half a dozen words English, tried to make himself unstood about "A de nig getta de jo when in walked a reporter for t Defender, when he was motioned quit his talking. ten, and after reaching Twelve My Island, the merry bunch was serve with everything good to cat.

Negro Porters to Displace Whites in New Northwestern Depot. By J: R. Winston. Colored ushers and porters are to be substituted by the Northwestern railway in its new passenger terminal for the white men who now perform such service in the old Wells street station. This will displace about twenty-five of the white ushers, who are being given new positions, such as gate men in the new station. Some of the men are said to feel aggrieved because the new positions, while paying higher salaries, are far less lucrative because of the absence of tips. No official explanation was offered by the Northwestern officials for making the change, but it was said there was a feeling that colored men give better service in such positions—and so they will. The new plan is in accordance with the general practice of employing colored train porters and colored waiters in the dining cars and station restaurants. It is said the new porters will receive $20 a month, as compared with $30 formerly paid, but that the tips often bring the amount up to $100 a month. I am glad that the colored porters have been given a chance and I sincerely hope that each man will prove himself a straightforward, honest and polite gentleman to the traveling public, for if such a position was in the union you would not have had the position. Now, as the officials have placed you in on this work, take care of it. Read the Chicago Defender. That is to say, subscribe for it. J. Williams, 321 West 35th street New York city, N.

The ever welcome potato salad is always a standby for the young housekeeper in making up her daily variety. The fruit salads are not always as popular as they should be, for inany feel that just before the desert course they take away the zeat for the sweet to follow. Perhaps this is true, but they are so healthy that this should be their excuse for being. Bonbon Salad.—Shape small-sized balls of new Plumtoo cheese and roll them in finely ground pecan nuts, press a half white grape on other side of the cheese. Allow six to a portion arranged on white lettuce leaves and cover with heavy mayonnaise, to which a little whipped cream has been added just before serving. Hazelnut Salad.—Shell and blanch one pound of hazelnuts and grind half of them fine in a grinder. Grate a half of a pineapple, mix with the nuts and a tablespoonful of sherry, juice of half a lemon and a tablespoonful of powdered sugar. Lot stand one hour, then drain and add a package of cream cheese, mix to a paste, then make into bat' with a whole nut in the center of each, piled on white lettuce leaves and cover with mayonnaise. Sweetbread Salad.—Parpoll, blanch and chill one good pair of sweetbrands and cut them into small pieces. Grind fino one dozen salted almonds, six olives, one green pepper and one sweetbrands with the juice of a lemon, gherkin pickle. Add these to the juice of one onion and a winegins of sherry. Let stand one hour, then drain and serve in green pepper causes with mayonnaise dressing. The invariable rule of good salad making is to have all of the ingredients ready, but not to mix the salad until the last possible moment. Of course, colery, where it is used, holds a salad up pretty well, but if dressed too long it is bound to grow wilted and unappetizing. Tamale Ple. Take one large chicken, joint as for fricassee, salt and pepper each piece and roll in flour. Have ready a frying pan, containing part hard and part butter; fry each piece of chicken in this until brown, then place chicken in stew pot and add one can of tomatoes; one large onion that has been sliced and fried; two or three red or green peppers, and a small piece of garlic; add a little water and the gravy that the chicken was fried in. Let stew until tender. Thicken gravy and turn into baking dish, take one cup of olives and drop them, into the stew, slice four hard boiled eggs over top, and cover with rich pie crust and bake. Trilanon Salad. Cut one grape fruit and two oranges in sections and free from seeds and membrane. Skim and seed one cup of white grape and cut one third cup of peanuts put meats into small pieces. Mix ingredients, arrange on a bed of romaine and pour over the following dressing. Mix four tablespoons of olive oil, one each of grape fruit juice and vinegar, one fourth teaspoonful of paprika, one-eighth teaspoonful pepper and one tablespoonful finely chopped Roquefort cheese. This dressing should stand in the icebox four or five hours to become seasoned. Milk Baked Chicken Select well-cleaned, plump spring chickens. Halve them, place in shallow roasting pan, salt and pepper well, dot liberally with bits of butter; use sufficient milk to nearly cover. Place in hot oven and bake for one and one-half hours in covered pan. Make a good pint of well-seasoned milk gravy (slightly thickened). Add one-half can French peas, one-half can button mushrooms; let come to a boll. Place chicken in center of platter. Around this place hot baking powder biseaut. Pour gravity over both and serve at once. Minute Pudding Bet a saucepan or deep frying pan on the stove, the bottom and sides well buttered. Put into it a quart of sweet milk, a pinch of salt and a piece of butter as large as half an egg. When it bolls have ready a dish of sifted flour; stir it into the boiling milk, sitting it through your fingers, a handful at a time, until it becomes smooth and quite thick. Turn it into a dish that has been dipped in cold water. Make a sauce, very sweet, to serve with it. Maplo molasses is fine with it. For the Tea Table A novelty to serve instead of candy at an afternoon ten is made from figs stuffed with chopped nuts and a fresh marshmallow. The figs are first soaked in brandy—or sherry, if preferred—for half a day, then pulled apart, and each half lined with the nut and pulled around the marshmallow to make a round ball. The only drawback to this delicious confection is that it is somewhat "umeyc" to eat. For Grease Spots Clean grease spots, etc., from the woolen, silk or cotton goods with a solution of borax. Apply the borax water with a clean sponge; this is better than gasoline. All Up-to-Date Hotel News and News of Bell Hops. By S. Adams. By S. Adams Detroit, Mich., June 2—Heuben Knox, one of our old Chicago boys, has been engaged as head bollman at the Follow Craft Club for some time, in Detroit, and says business is fine. Mr. Knox says he blies Detroit, Mich., fine, and will stick to the ships that carry blim over safe. He sends his best regards to all of the boys, and says he has a warm spot in his heart for old Ctl, and will return some day. John Petrie, head waiter at Hotel Burlington, Durlington, Iowa, some months ago accepted a similar position at Cuddlac Cafe, Detroit, Mich. A change of management has caused colored boys to lose the Burns Cafe in Detroit, Mich., not on account of not fulfilling their duties, but the new management had used white girl waitresses for some time in their old place. The old management tried girls in there once before and failed, so the now manager will soon see his mistake, and will be glad to get the colored boys back. A swell cafe will be open soon in the loop district of Chicago, IL, and the writer is pleased to say a colored crew will be installed. You say you want to work—delliver the goods, and work is yours. Union League Club of Detroit, Mich., under the management of James Hayes, is one of the best clubs in that city; it is known as watters' headquarters, and all first-class watters and cooks will see Mr. Hayes for all first-class summer season positions. Mr. Hayes is in line with all hotels and cafes. Captain Edwards, head bellman of Cadillac Hotel in Detroit, Mich., has taken a trip to Asheville, N. C., in search of health.

The nice part is Captain Edwards stays at this fine resort and his bills are sent to the hotel company. The writer will say where good service is rendered reward is yours. MICE IN THE RAILWAY CARS Traveling Man Always Carries a Trap, and Catches One About Every Other Night. "On my last trip across the continent I met a man who showed me a hitherto unsuspected danger of sleeping cars," said the travelling man. "The first night out from Denver he occupied the berth across the alley from mine. Shortly after everybody had turned in for the night I heard him fussing around and I looked out. He had baked an old fashioned mouse trap with cheese and was leaning out to set it on the floor under his birth. Along in the night I thought I heard the trap click. The next morning I got up ahead of my neighbor to watch his maneuvers with the mouse trap. I felt kind of creepy when I saw him pick up the trap with a dead mouse dangling from the wire mouse. Later I expressed astonishment at my neighbor's hagging that kind of game on a transcontinental train. "Oh, that's nothing," said he. "I catch a mouse about every other night in seasons when I am on the road most of the time. I don't know where they make their nests, but there are few of the ordinary coaches that do not carry their shape of mice." "In Chicago I bought a five-cent mouse trap and set it on the way home, but I did not catch a mouse." BEAUTIES OF THE SIERRAS John Muir Eloquently Describes the Charms He Finds in That Mountain Region. Here with bread and water I should be content. Even if not allowed to roam and climb, tethered to a stake or tree in some mendow or grove, even then I should be content forever. Batted in such beauty, watching the expressions every varying on the faces of the mountains, watching the stars, which here have a glory that the lowlander never dreams of, watching the clrling seasons, listening to the songs of the waters and winds and birds, would be endless pleasure. And what gibbous cloudlands I would see, storms and calms—a new heaven and a new earth every day, age, and new inhabitants. And how many visitors I would have. I feel sure I would not have one dull moment. And why should this appeaxt extravagant. It is only common sense, a sign of health, genuine natural all-awake health. One would be at an endless Goddish play, and what speeches and music and acting and scenery and lights-sun, moon, stars, auroras. Creation just beginning, the morning stars, "still singing together and all the sons of God shouting for joy"—John Muir, in the Atlantic. Strength in Nature. The longest wood that drifts and waves under the hoisting of the soar or hangs heavily on the brown and silvery shore, has a marked strength, structure, ohastly, gradation of substance; its extratremities are more finely florid than its center, its center than its roots; every fork of its manifestation is measured and proportioned; every wave of its hangul lines is love. It has its allotted size, and place, and function. It is a specific cranturo—Ruskin: "The Seven Lamps of Architecture." Saves Labor; Does Better Work. It is claimed for a newly invented fiber shredding machine introduced in Mexico that it will do the work of fifty laborers, and do cleaner work than can be done by hand. . RECIPES FOR THREE VARIETIES GIVEN IN DETAIL. One Is Clear Beef, Another Tomato and the Third Corn—How to Make a Tasty Scotch Shrinked Clear Beef Soup.—A lean upper shank of beef and knuckle of veal are used; these must be washed thoroughly and put into enough cold water to cover, adding one onion, one small sliced carrot and one tablespoonful of salt; let slimmer until tender; strain the meat from the liquid, using it for hush or croquettes. Put the liquid through a fine sieve and then let stand in a cool place for 24 hours; the fat may then be removed in one whole cake and replaced if all the stock is not used. By keeping this covering of fat on the stock it will remain sweet a much longer time. When ready to serve, reheat, cutting the cooked carrot in cubes, and adding a spoonful of minced parsley, some celerine, pepper and minced red sweet pepper, which may be purchased by the can. Tomato Soup—Place two level tablespoonfuls of butter in a frying pan and when melted stir in two level tablespoonfuls of flour and lt brown; then add one cupful of strained canned tomato and a pinch of baking soda; when this mixture is hot, poor in one pint of milk, stirring until creamy and hot. If it is more than this consistency add more milk. Season with salt and pepper and serve. Corn Soup—Melt one level tablespoonful of butter in the pan and then stir in one round tablespoonful of flour, stirring until the butter and flour are well mixed; then add two cupfuls of sweet milk, or if there is soup stock in hand, use a cupful of this and one cupful of milk. Press one cupful of chopped canned corn through a course steve and add to the cream mixture, seasoning to suit with salt and pepper. Scotch Shortbread.—Four cupfuls of flour, one cupful of butter, half a cupful of sugar and one egg. Beat the butter and sugar to a cream, then heat in the egg; gradually mix in the flour. Turn the mixture out on a baking board and knend carefully (till a smooth paste). Divide it into two pieces; make each piece into a smooth round, plumch round the edges, prick over the top with a fork, lay on a papered tin and bake in a moderate oven for half an hour. Allow to lie on the tin until cold. At serving time break, but do not cut, into small pieces. ALL AROUND the HOUSE Before broiling a steak dust it with salt and pepper and rub it with salad oil. This will greatly improve it. Toast should always be thin and crisp. Cut the slices from a stale tin loaf, and dry in the oven before toasting them. Tomatoes should be skinned before being used for salad. To do this easily place the fruit in a basin and pour boiling water on them. Examine the broad pan three times a week, in case crumbs left in should become moldy. These would speedily affect the whole contents of the pan. In making sauces use clarified fat from the soup kettle as the medium for cooking the flour, then boat in a few tiny bits of butter to the finished sauce for the flavor. When cutting new bread heat your knife by dipping it into a jug of hot water. In this way you may cut the thinnest bread and butter from a new loaf quite easily. A porcelain sink can be quickly cleaned with paraffin. Dip a dandelion lightly into the paraffin and rub the sink till all the stains are removed, then thoroughly wash it with soap and soda water. A damp room or cupboard may be dried by keeping in it a far containing quickline. The lime will absorb the damp and keep the air dry and pure. It must be frequently renewed, as it loses its power. The China Closet The chance opening of a china closet door showed a guest a particularly daunting arrangement of the contents. The shelves were edged with some of the better grade of paper napkins with a design of roses. These were folded square and attached to the shelf so they fell over the edge in points, about four inches deep, and quite near together. White crepe paper covered the shelves. Almond Cookies. One-half pound butter, one-half pound of sugar, one and one-quarter pound of flour, five heaten eggs, one heaping teaspoonful of baking powder, flavored with almond extract; mix to a smooth dough; roll to a quarter of an inch in thickness, brush with the heaten white of an egg and sprinkle thickly with chopped almonds; bake in a thick oven. For Burot Victuals. If fruit or vegetables have been burnt or scorched while cooking, take stew pan and set in a pan of cold water (the colder the water the better). Remove lid and leave stew pan in the water about 5 minutes, then turn contents into another sauce pan. This prevents a burned taste or smell. To Remove Ink, Wine or Fruit Stains. Saturate well in tomato juice. This is also an excellent thing for removing stains from the hands. Bolling Eggs. In boiling eggs put a little salt in the water, and if any should be cracked it will keep them from boiling out IN TENNESSEE Will Be Treated to Rare Articles Each Week from One of Their Worthy Sons—Full Accounts of the Y.

Chattanooga, Teen., June 2—We can say with great rejoicing the earnest, true and troubled people and friends of the New Salem Baptist church with thanksgiving entered the first department of the church edifice Sunday, May 21.

Dudley, pastor, Sunday, June 4, a grand rally and basket dinner. An excellent sermon at 3 p. m. by Rev. J. S. Dudley, Gadsden, Al., his own brother. We trust this people will meet great success. Rev. S. E. Church Town Lord, B., late of West Indies, a graduate of the Gannon Theological seminary, Atlanta, Ga., is a gentleman of high Christian character. During his stay in our historic city he has preached in the various pulpits of the churches and rendered a signal degree of satisfaction to those for whom he acted. He is a real student of books with tireless energy, an earnest preacher of the gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and he possesses the special air of ministerial dignity and decorum which should characterize the devout servant of our Lord. We trust that he may be given hospitable hearing for the very work's sake. He has been appointed to the pastoral charge of the A. M. E. church, Sherman Heights, Tenn., where he has done efficient work in the ministry in the absence of Rev. C. E. Tucker, D. D., pastor of Leonard Presbyterian church, he acted pastor and gave satisfaction and it would be fittingly pronounced that he is classed among the superior intelligent gospel ministry which is in keeping with this great age of intellectual advancement. I came! I saw!! I conquered!!! The Tuskegee bank for rendition of their classical music was overwhelmingly showered with words of praise here. In the classiest musical realm it was the good fortune of the citizens of our historic city to be joyously encaptured with the high selected music rendered by the Tuskegee institute band under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. and Maslone fraternity. To which the entire audience at the altar of the highest honor bowed. The Tuskegee band standing foremost and predominantly among the famous musical celebrities of this broad band of the free and the home of the brave and will be found overtowering infinitely as band music. The parade in the street drew the attention of crowds to stand with eagerness to listen to the sweet strains of band music of the jubilant sons of Ham as they showed proficiency in this special art. The band appeared at the auditorium, Capt. N. C. Smith, bandmaster, whose wonderful orchestra and he composer of the same and he has conducted the big orchestral musical organization in which position he stood without a pear and he is a star in the musical realm of much distinction and elevated himself to great fame. He attracted world wide attention for the rendition of the classiest music for band the accuracy, harmony and sweetness of the music as played. He is a musical wonder, the band an exceptionally grand organization. The unveiling of the tombstone, the initiatory tombstone movement of Delphin Lodge No. 3, K of P, took place at the Forest Hill cemetery Sunday, May 21, at 3 p. m., of Brother L. J. Suggs, was born September 18, 1861; died, Oct. 31, 1910. He was a member of the Second Baptist church and filled the office of deacon of sald church with credit and honor as faithful servant of God up to the time of his death. He was a consistent Christian, a loving husband, kind and tender father, also a peacemaker. He was a member of the Delphin Lodge No. 3, K of P, and was the past chancellor in this fraternity. He was noted for his interest in the Lord and sought to cultivate friendship among them. "Decarest husband and father, then has left us, yet thy loss we deeply feel; and in heaven we hope to greet thee, where no farewell tears are shed." "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." And brother Daniel Lee, a member of the Delphin Lodge No. 3, K of P, and these deceased graves are fittingly marked with an emblem which indicates great fraternism. "Pence he to his ashes." Program of the services of the unveiling of the tombstone at Forest Hill cemetery: Muscle by the Second Baptist church choir; prayer; address, C. C. I. Ducan; music; memorial address, Rev. J. H. Mustin; pastor, Second Baptist church; address, J. M. Easterling, esq.; music; benediction, Rev. J. H. Mustin; I. Reynold, master of cere- moiyn. O, time is a thinner of humanity in all walks of life; we enter this world and we, agreeable to the influence of death, pass out of it into eternity. The funeral of Mr. Lawrence W. Barnes, who died May 13, 1911, aged 46 years, took place at 2:30 p. m. at the First Baptist church, of which the deceased was one of its faithful and most active members, having filled many positions of trust and honor, by which he greatly endearced himself to the membership of this church as being a real useful member. Rev. C. A. Bell, D.D., pastor, officiated, and was assisted by Rev. J. E. Smith, pastor of the First Congregational church, and Rev. H. J. Johnson, pastor of the Orchard Knob Baptist church. The deceased was a member of the K. of P. uniform rank and was very loyal to the order and this body in their fraternal spirit of deep sympathy tenderly waited on our brother to the last moment. He is survived by a most affectionate wife, two loving daughters, kind brothers, sisters, relatives and a host of friends who bow at the altar of sympathy. He and his wife had sailed upon the matrimonial sea for the past twenty years in unbroken harmony and such lives are to be considered very commendable. K. of P. uniform rank made a deep impression upon all as they marked with so much in the skill of military tactics. The services were witnessed by a large crowd, in attendance, which was indicative of the high esteem and honor in which the deceased was held by the friends. And the beautiful floral designs were but a fitting token of the tribute of respect and the cherished regards for the deceased during life. Such is but the essence of true friendship to the end of one's career. No Explanation There. Many a man is living within himself merely because he requires little room.

George's Danabegay at Oakland Music Hall. Notwithstanding the inclementy of the weather and the big K. of P. ball at the Coliseum, there was a good sized audience present at Oakland Music hall last Monday evening when Frank P. George, the well known recital and amusement promoter, gave a concert which was followed by a dance and beogay reception. The audience, which consisted mostly of the younger class of people, as a whole, was made up of the elite of society. Even the ushers wore evening dress suits to capacitate with the order of things and the polish of the occasion. I had been seated in the midst of the social swim on the lower floor but excused myself from the rank and file of artistocrats to occupy a seat on the second floor. The mallage was an artistic feast. The Wilson orchestra minus Garfield which consisted of Charles Elgar, W. Brown, A. James, Jr., A. Stewart and H. Leege an introductory selection, after which Frank P. George appeared in character, instead of evening dress, and gave a recitation which at once established the fact that he is a genuine actor hampered only by a lack of servitude in practice. He recited the "drunkard" and not only held the audience by the magnanimity of force but his power to reveal the true value of art-painting was discerned. Miss Gladys E. Edwards next appeared and sang two numbers quite satisfactorily. The medium tones of her voice are of metal-like timbre but her upper notes are sweet. I once knew a white sluger, Miss Minnie Dilthy of the American Opera company in New York, who had the very same kind of a vocal organ as Miss Edwards, who through cultivation won success. Miss St. Clair White, the young violinist, again amazed us by the rapid progress she is making. Rodes Concerto No. 7 was all but perfection, I did not like "Legande" so well owing to the fact that she has again indulged into the jamping habit an exciting passion of nervousness which she must overcome. But in Miss White I must truthfully state that she is remarkable for her age and I predict that if she has proper care and study she will become a great artist, "Sing Me to Sleep" was an encore requested by Alfred Anderson, the lyric writer, who sat in the front row, George R. Garner, Jr., was last on the bill. His first number was Coleste Alda, which he delivered with true embellishment of style and technique. We have been accustomed to hearing this number in the opera by a tenor which in a baritone-tenor robs us of the illusion. De Koven's "Titane" was also well song and Mr. Garner has improved in the pitching of his high notes, which should be met in pianissimo and swelled. The Rosary was given with too much legato and dragginess. He was not in such good voice as he was at Olivet and his tones in the classies were uncertain in truthfulness of key, pitch and carriage. Still Garner is a good singer and his voice is beautiful. The performance concluded with a playlet, "The Burghar." Miss Gladys Anderson showed intelligence in a female role hardly distinguishable and Frank P. George again displayed his unusual talent in a dramatic direction. The staff consisted of Sam Fielding, Robert Fisher. Richard Warren, Philip Green, Mrs. Moss, Mrs. Dresden, Mrs. Maupin, Mrs. Anso Davis, Wm. L. Kelley, Wm. Harsh, Floyd Crane, John Cole, Thos. Irish, Jeff McKinney, Pete Madden, Floyd Enamel and Frank P. George. The Five Musical Byrons and Clay-born lones at the Palms. Colored Show. For the first time an all-colored show drew full houses at the Pekin. The musical lyrons was the principal attraction and their playing on various instruments, including a harp, and the prison scene from H Trovotore on musical chimes, was heavily enforced. They were all dressed as Mexicans and looked immense. Clayborne Jones in his jungle specialties duplicated his success at the Grand recently by making a distinct hit, Sldney L. Perrin and Goldie Crosby in a Chinese specially sketch were immense from an artiste standpoint. Perrin fully sustained his rank as one among the foremost comedy actors of his race, while Goldie Crosby looked sweet and winning in two distinct characters. Her dialogue work was good as ever and her singing was heartily received. Andrews and Latchford gave a good entertainment of a more familiar type of olden life comedy which went well. Howard Andrews. I believe his name is, has long been known as one of the best harmonica players in the world and he still unkens good. The Owsley brothers were two promising kids from the south, I believe, one a good looking straight man who done good work. The comedian would have been better if he was not so slow in disposing of his jokes. He is absent minded and by the time he gets thru gled looking around the house he loses his head or perhaps he was frightened. Their dancing was good and just to encourage them we hope to see them again soon and I think we will like them better. 11. New Moving Picture House. The Phoenix theater, formerly the Baby Grand, has opened as a picture house and is now drawing good houses. Ed Goodbar, tenor singer, renders the illustrated songs. The new colored orchestra consists of Frank Tate, violinist, Hattie Mae Patton, pianist, and Charles Mitchell, drummer. "Come, Josephine, in My Flying Machine" was a good Illustrated song number. THE PEKIN THEATER. On Monday evening another interesting bill of vaudeville will be offered at the Pelkin. The two-show-night policy with the bright and clean entertainment has proven very attractive to the patrons, especially the liberal numbers of real high-class colored acts that are engaged on the bill. Many new and pleasing novelties have been engaged for the coming week. An entire travel production has been booked for the coming week. The Reese Iros, Africanders, will give a novel street display every evening. The Southern Quartette, Taylor and Price, a singing and dancing couple, and Charence Tisdale, in new and beautiful illustrated songs, should again provide pleasing entertainment. Seats are reserved for the first performance only. The second show patrons are entitled to any vacant seat. Only the best acts and at the popular prices of 10 cents; balcony 20 cents; main floor, the boxes, are 25 cents. Two shows nightly, 7:30 and 9:30. Three Sundays and holidays, 6:30, 8:30 and 10. Balcony 10c; main floor 20c. The Era Comedy, Four with Billy Brown Makes a Hit at the New Grand. Memorial day was celebrated to the height of its galaity at the New Grand. The Era Comedy Four, the greatest comedy quartet in America, which opened Monday night, packed the house at every performance. Billy Brown, a young comedian from the Pacific coast, was the bright particular fun maker of the bunch; nimble in body and limbs and with a facial expression which created rours of laughter at every turn and twitch of his muscles we behold one of the cleverest new comedians the Negro race has produced. Mr. Rooke, the straight man, was a most excellent talker and Mr. Poole was a good looking policeman with white teeth, while Wm. H. Spencer, whose tenor voice is one of melody and sweetness, captivated. At the conclusion of the comedy work the quartet rendered Toast's Goodbye for an encore, which for harmony could not be surpassed. Billy Johnson and his Creole Bellies (Ethel Marlow, Lain Miller, Freda Gillgin and Ruth Rogler) was a clever dancing and singing act. Mr. Johnson, who had a cold, was as usual artistically clever, especially as the old man and in the finale with the girls, all of which scored on his merits as a dancer. Miss Abbie Mitchell was another star on the bill, assisted by Kemper Harrold, the violinist, who accompanied her on the piano. Her first song was a little too classical for State street, but "Land of Harmony" as only Miss Mitchell can sing it brought heavy encores. Of the two white acts that were on the bill Lewis and Chapin as two looney kids were good but the playlet, with Bartram May, was not interesting, as May is a very poor actor but the servant girl soubert was a little mite better. C. CREIGHTON THOMPSON SINGS IN INDIANAPOLIS C. Creighton Thompson appeared in a concert at the Second Baptist church at Indianapolis, Ind., recently and met with a good reception. On the Sunday prior to his appearance he sang at Bethel church in the morning; St. Phillip's P. E. in the afternoon and at the Metropolitan at night. The very best class of people turned out in large numbers at the concert, Mr. Thompson gives a recital at Dudley Memorial Hall, Louisville, Ky., June 5th, but will sing as an introductory at the Church of Our Merciful Savior on Sunday morning, June 4th, as an introductory. . . .

Williams, Mr. Lawson has composed successful songs for him. Miss Madge Clinton was recently thrown from a street car and had her knee cap broken. She is at present on crutches. Her friends are much concerned regarding her future as she is an expert dancer but it is understood that the railroad company has agreed to settle in case of non-suit. --- Theodore Henderson, who has slightly improved since he has been at the county hospital, where the air is fragrant, is having the best of care. Pauline Dempsey, Goldie Crosby, Black Carl, Sylvester Russell and E. D. Burt, the stationery dealer, have been among the people who have called to cheer him. The Umbrian Glee club gave a rehearsal at Institutional church Thursday evening, May 25. The Pierce twin brothers, tenor singers, in a duet, attracted quite a bit on the program. I sat in a seat with Will C. Elkin, the bass-baritone for the New England Conservatory of Music, who for years trained all the Williams and Walker choruses, and he is some critic only people don't happen to read after such men in the newspapers. They can only read and blame the critic Russell. Perhaps in conclusion a few important remarks to performers will do them some good. If there are any artists in Chicago who think they are greater than I picture them let them go down town and give a recital at the Muscle hall in the Fine Arts building and find out that when they get before real critics of experience like myself they get worse criticism from those white gentlemen than I give them. Another thing which I must call the attention of actors to is the bad language they use in the streets. I indocession to chastise a noted song writer recently and when he informed me that I am too fancy I assured him that I would not cure a rap what he would have to say to me in a club room but I draw the line with the street where at least some ladies are passing, even in Chicago. One more punch at the uglier temperaments and then I will have finished. About two months ago I discovered a clever kid who was dancing and playing on a one string instrument in the Pokin buffet. Men were throwing him nickels. I gave him a quarter and complimented him. When he appeared at a benefit I praised him. He had by this time thrown off his ragged clothes and now sports a new suit. Actors have cuddled him and helped to spoil him. Last Thursday evening while I was busy conversing with Rube Shelton and other prominent actors, the kid came up and slapped me in the chest and exclaimed, "Hello, Russell!" Now, I will be obliged to sumb the kid and keep him in his place by informing him that hereafter I will be Mr. Russell to him and nothing more. It's not that I feel so big, but I feel that it is my duty to teach a lot of ignorant jackasses, young and old, a little common sense, especially those whose baneful lives call for pity and teaching.

Foathers Cleaned, Dyed and Curled The Sporting World It was a pretty game last Sunday, until the elements dofled the Boosters' President's ukase, rained like hell. Wickware was putting them over too swift for the Athletics, for when the game was called the score stood 1 to 0 in favor of the Lehund Giants. Among the substantial men of the race present were Dr. A. W. Williams, R. T. Motts of the Pokin, Thomas W. Allen, city inspector, Jess F. Bolling, proprietor of the Burlington, David Minson, manufacturer and mining expert, Mr. Allain, and others. The ladies were also present and looked as cute as ever. Come out next Sunday and see them The Boosters were all there and Mr. Davis Manson was unanimously elected chairman of the executive committee; this means a royal good time for the Boosters and they are to be congratulated upon their splendid selection. Julius F. Taylor, editor of the Broadax, has been suspended for three hours by the Boosters for failure to be at Sunday's ball game and will be compelled to face the music at the Burlington next Saturday night. We sympathize with ye editor. Don't forget to see Sunday's game. The Spaldings are a crack team, having beat the American Giants with Skel Roach in the box, who on Sunday will be opposed by Wickware, the Lechland's man of iron. Come out and see this battle. The Leeland Giants won last Sunday and Decoration day and lost one out of the last three played. They play at Chicago Heights today and they are at home tomorrow, 69th and Halsted streets. Jack Johnson has arrived in town from New York prior to his departure for England, June 6. It is not probable that he will pay any attention in way of recognition to Hugh McIntosh's announcement that he is to clash with Bombadier Wells, the new unhired of champion of Johnnie Bull, who needs free advertising. It is estimated that Johnson will sign articles when he gets over. It is amusing to an unusual crowd of colored folks assemble in front of Jones' new remodeled barber shop to see Johnson get shaved and to inspect and worship his machine. That Langford farce at Kenosha was a pretty how-de-do and a big loss to the country sports of Wisconsin. Anyhow, it couldn't be helped and the mayor thought it best to avoid any possible infringement on the white man's hope incase of Langford's victory. It was feared that if the Kenosha game cocks and any white feathers in their tails that the Chicago sports and colored braves of State street would have cleaned up the city. Sam Langford left at once for Syracuse, N. Y., where he knocked out Italp Calloway in four rounds, a colored gentleman from Utica, N. Y., May 30. None of the colored baseball teams have as yet distinguished themselves this season. The Leland Giants are improving and their work is worth the price of admission. Chorus of the Colored Sports. Keep a tight grip on the belt, dear Jack. After you've sailed across; And be sure, oh, be sure to bring it back, And on land or at sea don't get lost. Now pledge to honor us over the foam, And keep away from the coast; Bring all your prestige and coin right home, So all the chorus of sports can boast. HOW HE OBTAINS PIN MONEY Farmer's Husband Tells His Methods of Persuading the Hens to Lay More Eggs. Like most farmers' husbands I am compelled to rely on the chicken and egg money to dress myself, as my wife puts all the cash into labor-saving machinery for every place but the kitchen. This was borne in on me early in my married life, so I carefully studied means of increasing the lay of my barnyard friends. In the winter time I always wear a pretty lace shirt and carry a palm leaf fan when I feed the hens. This apparel I have found completely doceives them into thinking it is summer, and they lay accordingly. In the summer it takes but a moment for me to slip into my nearpitch ulster and wind a bright red tippet around my neck while scattering their corn. This is important, for it makes them think it is winter, and hence summer, and insures a plentiful supply of eggs. I have observed they do not seem to care whether these clothes are the latest style or not, so I generally wear my third best. In addition to these simple little devices I always sing to them. "There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight," at all seasons of the year. By faithfully following this plan for the last seventeen years I have managed to save enough money to buy a perfectly stunning pair of illne barem trousers.—McLandburgh Wilson in New York Times. Big Weather Cook of London. Which is the largest weather cook in London? The honor is held by the vano which crowns the little leaden cupola over the city church of St. Peter-upon-Cornhill, and is now being repaired. It is a big koy, the symbol of St. Peter, and measures more than nino feet, being a few inches longer than the dragon that surmounts Bow church, Cheapside.—London Chronicle. Downy Adornment for Masculine Attire is the Greatest Departure in a Century. Chicago.—Plumed hats for men are the latest. They have made their appearance in Chicago and have caused a great wave of excitement among the fashionable men of the city. They are the biggest departure in masculine adornment made in a century, and are so decided a change from the conventional that leading hatters declare that a complete transformation in men's formal attro will be the result. The extreme styles in men's plumed hats will not become popular at once, say experts. Extreme styles never do. But observant persons have noticed that for several years many of the better dressed men of Chicago have JACKSON worn a ruffled feather just above the how of their dress hats. Recently this feather has been made a trifle larger until the leaders of fashion have accepted it as permanent feature of the thoroughly up-to-date hat. The most striking of the new hats are in the shape of the foreign Alpine hat which comes in all colors and can be bad with any style of trimming desired. One shown is of a light pearl gray and trimmed with a dark green plume, with a light border of rich yellow. A Parts milliner would call it striking. The same style with a long green quilt makes another combination becoming to many faces. The Alpine hat admits of almost unlimited changes and will permit well-gressed men to show as much individuality in the matter of hats as women do now. The dent-crown imported soft hat shown, with a novelty wing, is of dark gray and copies in many pretty shades of brown, which will harmonize well with the newer fabrics while the tailors have been importing f. spring suits. Wearers of the alwa a formal silk hat will also be able to take advantage of fashion's latest caprice and will not be dressed the privilege of ornamenting it. Dignified white and gray afgrettes and other more conservative feathery effects can be added to the latest French style with the flat brim without defying the mandates of Damo Fashion. FOR CROSS-COUNTRY FLYING Aviators Gradually Turning Their Attention to More Important Phase of Sport. New York. Cross-country flying is gradually attracting more and more attention on the part of aviators. This is, of course, as it should be. Mero racing around a track, for hours at a time, goes for nothing in indicating Pierre Vendrine of France. the value of the aeroplane. Gradually the short trips, so uncertain and dangerous, have been stretched out, until now 150 miles in an air line is a common occurrence, made in a single nonstop flight. One of the most daring cross-country飞翔 is Piero Vendrine, whose feats have astonished France. In one of these cross-country journeys he flew 181 miles and in another 212. Recently he flew from Paris to Pau, a distance of about 500 miles. Mexican Climate. City of Mexico.—The climate of Mexico is from tropic to temperate. On account of the latitude there are three climatic levels known as the hot lands on the coast; the temperate lands, from 3,000 to 6,000 feet above the sea, and the cold lands 6,000 feet high. But these, except the steaming southern coast lands, are to some extent relative terms; "cold" meaning one thing on high ground at 32 degrees north, and quite another at 15 degrees. The hot lands have a mean temperature of about 80 degrees; and a summer heat often of 100 degrees; the southern cold ones rarely go below 20 degrees, and have a mean temperature of 60 degrees. In the Valley of Mexico, the "perpetual spring," the range is usually 65 to 70 degrees the year through. There is no true winter, but a rainy season from June to October; the dry one November to May. Malarial feyers are prevalent along the coast, and have been somewhat in the drip Valley of Mexico; but the great drainage tunnel finished in 1903 has much improved the sanitary conditions.

"On my last trip across the continent I met a man who showed me a hitherto unsuspected danger of sleeping cars," said the travelling man. "The first night out from Denver he occupied the berth across the alley from mine. Shortly after everybody had turned in for the night I heard him fussing around and I looked out. He had baited an old fashioned mouse trap with cheese and was leaning out fo' act it' on the floor under his berth. Along in the night I thought I heard the trap click. The next morning I got up ahead of my neighbor to watch his maneuvers with the mouse trap. I felt kind of creepy when I saw him pick up the trap with a dead mouse dangling from the wire noose. Later I expressed astonishment at my neighbor's bagging that kind of game on a transcontinental train. "Oh, that's nothing," said he. I catch a mouse about every other night in seasons when I am on the road most of the time. I don't know where they make their nests, but there are few of the ordinary coaches that do not carry their share of mice. "In Chicago I bought a five-cent mouse trap and set it on the way home, but I did not catch a mouse." TWO RATHER BRIGHT DOGS One Recognized the Letter Was Over-Weight and the Other Perceived Wrong Address. Two suburbanites, one living near Morton and the other near Primos, were swapping stories of country life as they went home on the 5:35 train. "I have a most intelligent dog," said the Primos man. "I just hand him a letter and say: 'There, Spot!' and off he goes to the post office. I gave him one yesterday and he dropped it. He refused to pick it up, but wagged his tail instead. I suspected something was wrong and picked up the letter and weighed it. It required two cents more postage." Without the least show of surprise the man from Morton proceeded with his story. "Dogs are intelligent," he began. "My collie, Carlo, always posts my letters, and one day he, like your dog, dropped a letter on the floor. I thought possibly one stamp was not enough, but in welcoming the letter I found that the postage was all right. I gave it back to Carlo, but he let it fall again to the floor. I inspected the letter carefully and found that it was addressed to South Penn square, New York, instead of to Philadelphia."—Philadelphia.

The Long Waited for Hotel has Appeared, but There are Many More Things to Learn and Do Before We Can Catch up with Chicago. TOO MANY SPORTS IN TOWN. We Want Our Young Men to Save Their Earnings, Buy Homes and Marry, Get Good Educations, Learn Trades as the Boy In the South Does. Loud Laughing and Talking on the Street a Thing of the Past Here. By A. W. Abrame, Special Writings to the Chicago Defender. Southern Bomb, Ind., June 2.—The time has come that we must get together and bring about or start some kind of reality business. We got plenty of educated and professional in our community to bring our city upon equality with other cities. Why should we be so far behind when we have every facility any other city has? We are living in one of the prosperous cities in the United States and still we won't take advantage of it. Our moneyed men are too afraid to invest anything there is money in. You go to him and ask him to advertise what business he has got and he will answer you and say he is too poor. That same man will go into some guangliing place and spend what would advertise his business. I appeal to the business men and good citizens. Let us get out of that. Do more for the betterment of humanity. Our city is not as large as others and there are not as many of the race here as other cities have, but I must say what is here will not turn out. We have nice churches, learned ministers, and nice ladies. As a rule you go to church you will see two ladies to one man. Let us get out of that and make our city the equal of any of them along those lines. I trust every reader of the Defender will persuade his or her friends to not visit the red light district but spend one day out of seven at church, returning thanks to the Supreme Being for living in such a prosperous city. You must buy the Defender if you want to know how the race are progressing. Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Granville left today for Atlantic City to spend the summer. Mrs. Henry Coker of 723 North Coquillard street is out again after several weeks of illness; her absence from the junior choir was very much missed. Rev.

Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cooksey left Monday for Detroit, Mich, where they will make their future home. Mrs. Charles Kittrell has returned home after a six months' sojourn in the south visiting relatives and friends. Pa route home she stopped off at Levington, Ky., where her daughter, Miss Evangeline Kittrell, joined her and accompanies her home. She has been attending college there. Miss Marjorie Weaver complimented the bride-elect Miss Elva Bruce with a kitchen shower Friday evening. The colors pink and white prevailed throughout the house. The tables were beautifully decorated with pink and white carnations. A musical program was rendered. The bride was the happy recipient of many useful presents. Rev. Hines of 112% Colfax avenue was in Dowagiac, Mich. Sunday. The K. of P. and Court of Calathea will give their annual picnic June 20 at Hudson Lake. The M. T.

Miss Margaret Goins of Grand Rapids, Mich., is the guest of Rev. and Mrs. J. M. Evans of 310 West Monroe street. The Eastern Star held their memorial services Sunday in the Masonic hall, 208 North Main street. Mrs. John Wade of 805 West Thomas street, has returned home from Marlon, Ind., where she was attending the state federation of women's clubs. She holds the position of recording secretary and is a very talented woman. Rev. C. H. McDaniels of Chicago, Ill., is in the city on business; he is stopping at the Dominion hotel. Mrs. G. O. Curtis is visiting her daughter in Fort Wayne, Ind., where she spent Decoration day. Mr. George H. Smith left Monday for Culver, Ind. He took with him a crew of men to open the Lake View house. Mr. Henry Hill, first vice grand chancellor commander, is confined to his room in the Myers building with rheumatism. We hope for his speedy recovery. Mrs. Cora Ash of 428 South Main street has returned to her home from Marion, Ind., where she was attending the state federation of women's clubs. She is energetic and faithful worker for the betterment of her sex. That enterprising gentleman, Mr. W. J. Jones of Marton, Ind., has purchased the Midway cafe. When in the city he cordially invites you to see him. He assures you the best the market can afford and plenty of it. He says if you order 25 cents worth you will get it; that is what our people want; let's patronize him. Will Lighten the Labors of the Worker Whose Alim is That of Clean Linen. Another invention to lighten the labors of the washwoman has been made. This is a washboard designed by an Ohio man and its advantage over the old style washboard lies in the fact that the front, or rubbing surface, is curved outwardly, thereby resulting in a great saving of "oblow A woman washing a large pot of water. grease" on the part of the user. The board is made of a single sheet of metal, with its edges slitted and a shelf over the top. The body portion, or rubbing portion, is convex, and roughened so that even a light pressure on clothing passed over it will give all the results of hard rubbing over the ordinary flat washboard with its corrugations. The outward curve of the new board fills out wet garments better than a flat surface would do, and a wider surface of the garments is affected than on the old style board. HUNGARIAN SOUR CREAM SOUP How to Make It of Dried Lima Beans —Sweet Potato Pone is a Delicacy of the South. A way of utilizing the dried lima beans which are one of our resources in winter is in the form of a sour cream soup, after the Hungarian fashion. Soak a plint of the beans over night, cook until soft, and mash through a sieve, not too fine. Add enough water to make a quart of liquor when you have strained it. Season with salt, pepper, or paprika, if liker, and stir in a cup of sour cream. It is very good and makes a nice way of using up the cream which is so regrettable a leftover in the eye of the economical housewife. A southern delicacy is sweet potato pone, which should be better known in the north than it is. It is a substitute for Yorkshire pudding, and something more on its own account. Two large yams are to be paired and grated, mixed with half a pint of molasses, the latter having a pinch of soda dissolved in it, a pinch of salt, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, a table-spoonful of flour and just a little ground spice. This is thoroughly mixed and is poured into a hot greased pan and baked very slowly until well done and quite brown. It can be eaten hot or cold. Some time in preparing spinach try it in this way: Prepare as usual, but heap up each portion on a square of nicely made toast. On each little mound of the green slip a buttered egg. The eggs are prepared thus: Heat your onelet pan and melt there in a tablespoonful of butter. Slip in an egg and cook until the white is firm. Turn just once. Add butter, if necessary, to keep the egg from sticking. Before serving the combination pour some good beef gravy around the toast Expert Cake Making To make cake delicious to taste—light, fine-grained, and delicate of crust—good sweet butter, strictly fresh eggs, the finest of granulated or powdered sugar, and the best of pastry flour are absolutely necessary. The operator, too, should be quick, accurate, and dainty in her work. As a rule the slow-motioned, careless and untidy worker does not succeed in making anything more than a very ordinary cake—Harper's Bazaar. Nut Mince Pies. One cupful of walnut meats, chopped fine, two cupfuls of chopped apple, one cupful of raisins, one and one-half cupfuls of sugar mixed with one teaspoonful each of cinnamon and alfspice, and one-half teaspoonful each of clove and salt, one-half cupful of vinegar, and one-half cupful of water or fruit juice. Mix thoroughly. This quantity makes two large pies. Currled Steak. Cut steak in small squares; fry sliced onions in three-quarter ounces of butter; when brown take out, add tablespoon of flour and same amount of curry. Let brown over a moderate fire, then add one and a half gills of beef stock, a teaspoon of desiccated coconut, and the then meat. Slimmer one hour and serve with boiled rice. Pinapple Pudding. Sonk one cup of pearl tupla over night in one quart of water; in the morning add one cup of sugar; put in double boiler and cook until tender (cook in same water as soaked in); then add one cup of grated papplepure; turn in dish to cool; serve with whipped cream. Makes a delicious dish and one that is easily prepared. Beef Stew. Put in a kettle strips of pickled pork and ribs of beef, two onions, a buy leaf, carrot, clove of garlic, one brandy glass cach of whisky and white wine, a n pint of water.

NO WESTERN MAN FOR HER New York Stenographer Objects to Employer Whose Business Day Begins Before Nine. A New York office had advertised for stenographers, and when the applicants came they were interviewed by the assistant manager, who was a woman. An agreement almost had been closed with one bright girl when the assistant mentioned incidentally that the proverfer was a western man. Instantly the fair face of the applicant clouded. "In that case," she said firmly. "I do not wish the position. I am working for a western man now, and that is why I wish to make a change. Why, do you know—" her voice dropped to a low, tragic tone, of as one who voices hidden crime—"that man actually gets down to the office at six o'clock in the morning, and he expects us to be there at eight. Worse than that, even when we are on hand promptly at eight he acts as if it was about the middle of the day. Of course, it is easy for him, for it seems he gets up about four o'clock every morning, works a bit at home, reaches the office at six and piles up work for us until eight, so it really does seem late to him when we arrive. No more western men for me, thank you. Any Little old New York man will do for me, for New York men don't try to begin office hours before nine or ten o'clock." THEIR MINDS FOCUS WRONG Why Many Persons Fall to Perceive Events Clearly and in the Right Proportion. The veriest amateur in photography knows that a view of an object may be completely distorted by being out of focus, and thus give an entirely wrong notion of its relative proportions. To get the correct focus the eye of the camera must be neither too close nor too far from what is to be photographed. So it is with the human vision, though merely a mental photograph, the same precision of focus is necessary to arrive at relative values. The trouble with too many people is that their minds focus wrong, and grasp events at either too near or too great distance, or from extreme angles, or magnify unimportant details at the expense of the vital elements. The man who is out of focus with his surroundings or with the subject he is discussing is quite common, and the peculiar ideas of which he becomes obsessed are as bizarre as a photograph made by a freak camera. To get such a man back into focus is much more difficult than to adjust a lens, yet that is precisely what must be done in order to give him clear perception and enable him to see things in their right relation.—Omaha Bee.

Rhemus has just been celebrating an interesting event, the golden wedding of 60 old couples, says the Westminster Review. The fete is as old as the Revolution, when it first seems to have begun. In the time of the directory there were two fetes, the fete of the old people and the fete of the golden wedding. This seems to have been a very pretty affair, to judge from the account in the Debats. There was a procession of exon, with their horns crowned with flowers, followed by children crowned with violets, by young new wreathed with myrtle, and old men with garlands of olives and girls dressed as vestal virgins. At Paris in August, 1797, there was a great festival in honor of the old men, who were all given seats at the Opera, when "a gracious Hebe crowned their white locks with garkands of roses," and the soldiers presented arms. The idea of the fete was the encouragement of the family circle. The old man, who was a happy grandfather, was feted as an encouragement to the younger generation to follow in his footsteps.

The veriest amateur in photography knows that a view of an object may be completely distorted by being out of focus, and thus give an entirely wrong notion of its relative proportions.

NOT WARNED BY HER PEARLS Empress Eugenie Did Not Profit by Superstition Attaching to Her Bridal Necklace. Various are the superstitions attached to precious stones, and the prognostication of the lady who commented on the Empress Eugeneio's bridal pearls has certainly ample justification in later years. "It was a Spanish lady," says Jane T. Stoddart in her biography, "who as she admired the pearl necklace worn by the youthful sovereign quoted with melancholy foreboding that proverb of her country. "The pearls which women wear on their wedding day are a symbol of the tears which they will shed." "I think it is Maeterlinck who says somewhere that luck really means the possession of a sixth sense which warns one of coming disaster or danger. The Empress Eugeneio must surely been possessed of the faculty, though alas! she did not profit by it. "Strangely enough the empress' first act after her marriage showed that her mind was brooding on images of death and sorrow. At the beginning of her honeymonoon at St. Cloud she asked Napoleon to drive her to Versailles and there she inspected with mournful interest the rooms of Marle Antoinette in the Little Trionon. "On returning to Paris the imperial pair visited the Archives Nationales and read Marle Antoinette's last letter, written from the Concertergio on the morning of her execution. Eugenia in later years made a collection of relies belonging to the hapless queen." NO WESTERN MAN FOR HER New York Stenographer Objects to Employer Whose Business Day Begins Before Nine. A New York office had advertised for stenographers, and when the applicants came they were interviewed by the assistant manager, who was a woman. An agreement almost had been closed with one bright girl when the assistant mentioned incidentally that the proprietor was a western man. Instantly the fair face of the applicant clouded. "In that case," she said firmly. "I do not wish the position. I am working for a western man now, and that is why I wish to make a change. Why, do you know—" her voice dropped to a low, trangle tone, as of one who voices hidden crilence—"that man actually gets down to the office at six o'clock in the morning, and he expects to be there at eight. Worse that that, even when we are on hand promptly at eight he acts as if it was about the middle of the day. Of course, it is easy for him, for it seems he gets up about four o'clock every morning, works a bit at home, reaches the office at six and piles up work for us until eight, so it really does seem late to him when we arrive.

Hal Chase, the manager of the New York Americans, is regarded as the best first baseman in the history of the diamond. Chase gets more out of the initial bag than any other man who ever played it. Before he made his debut in fast company the first station was conceded to be about the easiest position on a ball team. Now it is looked up at. The first to be a fast hit second or third cover a great and the first bag. It bumps and exhibits that was unknown the easiest position on a ball team. Now CHARLES TAFT IS WATER BOY Being Too Young to Get on School Team Does Not Discourage Son of President. Charlie Taft, son of the president, has started to learn baseball by acting as water carrier of the nine of the Taft school, of which his uncle, Horace Taft, is principal. Charlie haught the enthusiasm for the game shown by his father and the fact that he is nephew and namesake of the owner of the Chicago National league team also contributed to his ambition to make a place for himself in the national game. He is too young to play on the school team, but is ambitious to become a manager, a position which is often obtained through the water boy route. Hence his decision to preside at the path. GOSSIP OF SPORTDOM Kansas City has been dubbed the "base on balls team." The players are said to make more fuss over drawing a pass than they do over getting a hit. Connie Mack is strong for the college player. It is said the leader of the champs has a string on Martin of Tufts and on Woodie, the Princeton pitcher. Jack Dalton, the former Brooklyn gardener, is playing with Joe McGlinnity's Newark team, and has yellow gloves and a bamboo stick backed up for class. Memphis has surprised the Southern leaguers and New Orleans, touted as a winning team, hasn't caused the "snapphooters" any overwork in taking pictures. Providence holds the honor of stopping the Toronto team. It began to look as if Joe Kelley's bunch would rush through the Eastern league without a halt. Any time the Giants are unable to trim the Quakers, send them over to Brooklyn. They become a savage band of Dodgers whenever they got a flash of a red-headed man. Manager Bill Schwartz, of Nashville, is said to be much like Napoleon Lafoie, in his movement that hundreds of fans have remarked upon the amazing likeness. A new sutcher's mask has been invaded which prevents the catcher from getting his eyes crossed watching men on first and third at the same time. The openings for the eyes are made into one by removing the upright bar. There are three twirlers holding berths with American League clubs this year by the name of Mitchell, Roy is with the St. Louis Browns, Charlo is working for the Detroit Tigers and Bill is one of the Naps' best prospects. Some criticism is heard of Chase's managerial moves. Sure, they're all n.g. when they lose. With the season so near the close and Chase having had all these summer months in which to show, it is a fitting time to pass judgment. Mike Kahoe, Washington scout, is back from looking over the Southern league teams, and says there isn't a promising player in Dixieland. Kahoe looked the second time at Melhride, Birmingham outfielder, but found Connie Mack has a string on him. Properly Used Power a Blessing. Power, when employed to relieve the oppressed and to punish the oppressor, becomes a great blessing.—Swift. The Old-Fashioned Fire. The healthiest, most cheerful and most wasteful heat producer is the old-fashioned fireplace.—Dr. Fisher. Merely Existing. Many a man who sings, "I would not live always," isn't living anyway.—Philadelphia Inquirer. It is looked upon as one of the hardest. The first baseman nowadays has to be a fast fielder as well as the second or third baseman. He has to cover a great amount of ground around the first bag, be able to run up on buns and exhibit an amount of ginger that was unknown to the initial sacker a few years ago. Worked in Cloth Factory at River point, R. I., When 14 Years Old— Received $2 Per Game. Manager Duffy of the White Sox ball team worked in a cloth factory runn- ing a wring machine when he was 14 years old, in Riverpoint, R. I. He P. was offered $2 a game to play twice a week in the state baseball league when he was 16. He resigned his position to play ball and has been in the game as a professional ever since. He has played professional ball more than twenty-five years. FAN INVENTS RAGTIME DROP New Yorker Teaches Marquard New Curve, Which Manager McGraw Believes Will Be Wonder. Manager John J. McGraw of the New York Nationals believes he has discovered a new curve that will be of practical use. A fan named Wayburn has invented the "regtime drop." Wayburn up to the Polo grounds the other day and instructed "tube" Marquard in its use. Mike Donlin was on band also and Marquard, using the "regtime" struck out the former Giant four times. Marquard is the only pitcher who will be invested with the syncopated secret. First Aerial Bet Recorded The first aerial bet has been made. It happened while the airman Legaigneux was flying the other day over the racecourse at Nice, when a five frane piece wrapped in a piece of paper dropped on the ground and on the paper was written a request by Legaigneux to put the money for him on a horse named Rule Britannia. Unfortunately for the airman Rule Britannia didn't win. Galner Breaks Wrist First Baseman "Del" Gather of the Detroit American league team sustained a broken wrist in the first inning in a recent game with Philadelphia. Gather was at bat, facing Coombs. He was attempting to dodge a pitched ball when his right wrist was struck and broken. McIntosh Busy in London Hugh D. Metzotsh has given up the Olympian Annex building in London, but has secured a larger place in the center of the city and intends to promote some big contests up to and during coronation year. SaintLucas Unpopular That state of mind, which let us call the ignominy of the virtuous, is not entirely confined to boys of nine years. I have seen grown men and women, being accused of saintliness, over whose faces passed an expression of mortification. They would accept with more complacency the tribulation that they were going to be dovies in their old age.—Mux Eastman, in the Atlantic. Japan has the largest stone statue in the world, a figure 44 feet high. Manager Duffy. COST OF BASEBALL PLAYERS Experts Figure Nearly 400 Players Will Receive $800,000—McGraw In $12,000 Class. Baseball sharps figure that before the pennant races end the magnates will have paid out more than $800,000 for service. It is conceded that the players in the National and the American leagues this year will receive more money for their laborers than ever before in the history of the game. There is no salary limit and the stipends range all the way from $1,500 to nearly ten times that amount. In the New York Nationals John McGraw, manager, who is not a player, will receive about $12,000 for his work this year. Christy Mathewson is believed to be the highest paid ball player in the profession. He signed a five year contract last winter at an annual salary of $10,000. It is said. The two dozen other players on the New York team will average about $2,750 each, swelling the total salary list to more than $5,000, a record in professional baseball. The New York Americans also will receive liberal salaries. Manager Chase will draw about $7,000 for his services as manager, captain and first baseman, with a chance to receive a substantial bonus if the bill men win the championship. Russell Ford, the team's star pitcher, will get close to $5,000 and the season's pay roll will foot up in the neighborhood of $65,000. Among the other big league teams the pitchers will, as usual, be the star performers on the salary list.

McConnell Unlucky. Amby McConnell is one of the unluckiest players in organized baseball. He is liable to injury more than most ball players because he takes such daring chances and he has been injured often. When Amby took off his shoe the other day after being spiked his foot was covered with blood, but he gamely walked to the car without assistance after Trainer Buckner had cauterized the wound.

Phone Aldine 56 ALREADY WAS GOOD WRITER Amusing Story of Frank H. Spearman, the Author, and His Young Son. An amusing story is told of Frank H. Spearman, the author of "Robert Kimberly," of the shock he gave one of the brothers of St. Mary's college, Oakland, Cal. Mr. Spearman sent one of his boys there to school, and, the boy was a great favorite with one of the brothers who was noted for his penmanship, and for his ability to teach it. He prided himself on turning out the best writing pupils of the west, and he thought that Spearman was one of the best of these. One time Mr. Spearman was talking to him, not knowing that he was the teacher of writing. He said, "If there is one thing that I do want it is for that boy to be a good writer." "But indeed he is a good writer," the brother began— "I want him to be a clear, forceful writer, none of your little fancy pen pushers." Upon this the mild manorored brother rushed to his desk, and brought back some specimens of young Spearman's hand writing. He was in a great flurry of excitement. He was used only to compliment. Mr. Spearman looked surprised for a moment, and then he began to laugh. "Oh!" he said. "I don't care about his penman ship. I meant that I want him to write good English." Experience Boy Will Remember. While exploring one of the big disused Martello towers, near Waterford harbor, Ireland, which was formerly used for military purposes, a boy named Charles Cummins had a terrible exorplonce a few days ago. When he pushed open one heavy iron door it suddenly banged and shout on his fingers. In agony, he shouted for help, but he was kept a helpless prisoner all night, and till late next morning, when he was rescued by a passer.

The Youth's Companion recounts a story of a wedding described in Dr Winifred Heston's "A Bluestocking to India." "Yesterday I went to a native Christ than wedding. Many guests had assembled and the ceremony had progressed to the point where Mr. Grey asked the bride: "Do you take this man to love cherish and obey? when the young woman in the case responded with a surprising and unmistakable, 'No!' "Mr. Gray labored with her in an undertone, but to no avail. The marriage had, as usual, been arranged by the parents without consulting the daughter. But it is almost an unknown thing for a girl to be so bold and disobedient. The situation was then explained to the assembled guests, and volunteers were asked to supply the vacancy. A young woman promptly came forward and the ceremony proceeded as if nothing had happened. "Afterward the bridal pair left the altar by different ashes to hold a reception under a tree, where congratulations and rice were poured upon them. The groom placed a silver ring upon the great too of the bride's left foot, and a 'best man' tied the groom's neck scarf to the bride's flowing garment, and thus they sat in state for some hours." Nature Lover's Anniversary John James Audubon, the naturalist, was born May 4, 1782, and the following, from his autobiography, explains his love for all of nature: "The productions of nature soon became my playmates.

Snake-Killing Bird In South Africa is to be found the champion snake killer of the bird family. It is known as the secretarybird. The name seems an odd one, but the bird received its name from a crest or tuft of plumage rising from the back of its head, which reminds one of a secretary or bookkeeper with a bunch of quills stuck behind his ear. As a rule it attacks smaller snakes in preference to the very powerful ones, and in doing so uses every precaution against contact with the poisonous fangs or strong cells. It does not attack its prey suddenly, but, after walking round the spot occupied by the reptile, suddenly spreads its wings and gives the reptile a sudden but sharp blow on the head with its very hard and sharp talons. This is done so quickly that the reptile has no chance to resist.—Harper's Weekly Mrs. Jones—Does your husband re-nombor your wedding anniversary?

Has Left a Criminal Trail Over the West—Now Faces Long Torm in Prison for Georgia Hold-up. Gainosville, Ga.—Far back in the '60s drivers of stage coaches making trips back and forth across the state of California began to cone in from their lone-mountain journeys with cash boxes riffed of their contents, sometimes a horse shot, and in every case with the rama story. A lonely spot on the road, sometimes in the daytime, sometimes at night, a single highwayman and the magic words, "Hands up!" The tale never varied. For want of a better name the lone highwayman came to be known, far and wide, as "California Billy." The exploits of "California Bill" continued for several years. All efforts at his capture were in vain. Many posses hunted the lone outlaw, tempted by offers of generous rewards. But he seemed to bear a charmed life. It was not until 1869 that he was caught. The driver of a stage that ran in from the hills back of Sacramento jumped from his seat in front of the office early one morning in the spring of that year and breathlessly told how he had been held up but a few hours before. The strong box of the stage had been heavy with gold dust sent in by indulgers. Never before had "California Bill" dared to attack a coach so close to a town. In 20 minutes from the time the driver told his story a heavily armed posse was riding hard back over the trail. It was not difficult to pick up traces of the haulit. Before nightfall his hunters were close upon him and as the sun sank behind the hills they surrounded him. The posse expected A. H. Old Bill Miner. a fight. To their surprise the outlaw offered no resistance, but surrendered at their command. His trial was speedy and less than a week after his capture he began serving a term in San Quentin prison. When Miner was released he left California as rapidly as possible. The wilder county of Colorado offered greater attractions. In this new field of operation his methods were the same as in the old. Miner and two others on November 7, 1881, recouped in California after an absence of twelve years, held up the stage that ran from Sonora, Two-lunne county, to Milton and secured $32,000 in cash and gold dust. Two of the gang were quickly caught. Miner managed to elude the officers for several weeks, but was finally run to earth. The trial was brief and justice severe. The three robbers were sent to San Quentin prison for 25 years. It was 1901. 20 years later, before "Old Bill" Miner could again breathe the air a free man. By good behavior he cut his sentence five years and the authorities believed that when he walked out of San Quentin his days as an cutout were ended. But they were mistaken. Toward the close of 1903 the authorities of Oregon were started by the hold-up of an express train on the Oregon Railway and Navigation company's line at Milepost No. 21, near Corbett, Oregon. A year later the Canadian Pacific's transcontinental express was stopped at Mission Junction, British Columbia, by a lone bandit, who with cold and delibere nerve compelled the express messenger to open the safe, which contained close to $10,000. Less than two years later, on May 10, 1906, at eleven o'clock in the night, Miner and two pals robbed the transcontinental express of the Canadian Pacific railway near Durrer, B. C. For this crime he was sent for life to the penitentiary at New Westminster and at once began planning an escape. With two companions, who were confined in the brickyard of the prison, he tunneled to freedom and nothing more was heard of him until last February, when one night a train on the Southern railroad was held up and the Pinkertons at once concluded from the nature of the job that Old Bill Miner was at work again. They were not mistaken and a few days later Miner and two companions, his pals in the hold-up, were taken prisoners. Miner, now sixty-nine years old, will be eighty-nine when his term of service expires, and it is probable that the end has been reached in his stormy and picturesque career.

H. Arnold, G. N. D. Lexington, Mo., June 2.—The big street fair has come and gone; everybody had a lovely time, especially our young people. Our young ladies and girls were treated very nicely by our young men and boys; no profane language was used during the week as known of. The colored minstrel show was a first class one and claimed to be one of the very best travelling with the Parker Amusement Co.; all of the attractions were good and the people of Lexington are well pleased with the Parker Amusement Co., of Abilene, Kansas. Mrs. Adeline Hughes, of Higginsville, Mo., was in our city last week to attend the fair and visit her sister, Mrs. Hattie Arnold, and friends. Miss Ethel Johnson, one of our most beautiful and charming young ladies of Higginsville, Mo., also her mother and brother, Emerson, was in our city last week to attend the fair and visit their friends and relatives. Misses Vernetta Hicks and Jessie Menefee, of Fleming, Mo., were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hicks last week during the street fair. I am not pleased with the way some of my customers are paying for the papers supplied them. Now if you don't up up before Tuesday you will not get any paper next week. We need our money, friends. J. H. Arnold. Whiskey Drinkers I am sorry to say it, but it is true that three of our class leaders have the whiskey habit on them. During the street fair last week these three men had a whiskey drinking feast at a certain place. No names will be called but it is too bad to think our class leaders have the whiskey habit on them.

DEATH OF A CHRISTIAN WOMAN Whereas it has pleased Almighty God to remove from our midst Sister Currie Robison, the denly beloved wife of Brother George Robison, who departed this life Friday evening, May 25th, 1911. Sister Robison was a faithful Christian woman, also a faithful member of the St. John's M. B. church and was much beloved by all who knew her, she is now in the land of rest; sleep on thou faithful one, we will meet thee in the sweet bye and bye. The funeral services were held from the St. John's M. E. church Tuesday afternoon, May 30, by Rov. Jackson, assisted by Rov. C. G. Chin and Rov. J. H. Allen, Sister Robison was also a faithful member of Queen Anna's court. She leaves a husband, sisters and brothers and a host of friends to mourn her loss. Peace be to her ashes. Interment in Northern cemetery. The church has lost one of its best members. It seems like the guilty people who do so much devilment are always throwing out some slang talk about killing the reporter. Now why don't you stop your devilment and live right and then the reporter won't have to say bad things about you. I do not have everything I see and hear published in the paper, if I did I would have been dead long ago. It is for your own interest that I have your devilment published. Lexington has too many good-for-nothing people such as sports, high-toned so-called Christians, sorry to say, but it is true, some of our girls are sleeping with men and are not married to them, some of the men are making fools of our young girls by taking them to all kinds of bad places which I can't afford to mention, doing all kinds of devilment and yet no one must say anything about it. I do not believe in covering up dirt that should be uncovered, I believe in telling the truth in spite of what people may say of you, the truth is the light but so many Christian people have their lights under a bushel and the world can't see it. May God help you to be men and women, to stand up for right against wrong, fight for it, die for it. Well, I don't care what you say about me, I am for right against wrong and I expect to do if necessary fighting for right: you may do as you please, the very next time I see or hear of any of our men folks insulting our girls or women I am going to have you published. This devilment shall, will, and must be stopped or else you will have to suffer the consequence. Read the Defender and you will always be happy all the time. See Mr. J. H. Arnold, agent. YOUNG WOMEN OUGHT TO GUARD AGAINST CRITICISM WHILE ON THE BALL ROOM FLOOR. Having attended within the past year several dancing parties where a majority of our best young women and men were present; and I don't think there is a city in the United States that can boast of a nicer looking set of young people than Chicago, and, on the whole, a better behaved set. However, there seems to be a click of about seven or eight young women who seem to disregard modesty while dancing. Dancing is a beautiful pastime when gracefully and modestly executed. But these particular young women seem to feel, that is, judging from their attitude on the floor, that in order to execute grace and modesty it is necessary to place their face up against the face of their partner, which is vulgar, pure and simple. If the young man is responsible or makes the slightest attempt to place the young woman in that position he ought to be reprimanded without a moment's hesitation and deprived of her society, as it is always the young woman that is criticized; consequently, if she does not protect herself against the familiarity and vulgarity of men, she can not hope for anything but severe criticism. Let a woman be ever so homely, if she possesses lovely manners and acts modestly she is, in the sight of the world, cautious. All women cannot be graceful, I will admit, but they can be modest.—J. N. A. Heavy Books Inlure a Child "Don't let the children carry heavy books to and from school," is the advice of a physician who has had a wide experience in children's hospitals.

When "home work" cannot be avoided, let the child have a set of books for home use. Or, if that is not possible, at least do not allow him to carry books always on the same side.—Good Housekeeping Magazine.

Before sealing up the room for fumigating, fasten two screw-eyes into the lower edge of the upper sash of a window in the room; to theae tie a heavy cord, leaving the loop between long enough to hang within easy reach of a window on the floor below. After the room has been sufficiently fumigated, put the cord from the lower window, thus opening the upper window and letting the fresh air in and the close air out.—Woman's Home Companion.

Then he got a grip on himself, recovered his pulse, apparently looked down for a moment on the army of wee human mites so far below on earth—and went about his work again. Good skyscraping nerve.

It came like a flash as, when being told that a Chinaman was about to be appointed on the police force, he remarked, "The Aslatic collarer," and passed on. At a banquet given to Charles Dickens the younger, the chairman inadvertently talking backward, referred to the guest as one not only honored for himself, but because of his father. Then younger Dickens, in response, drily observed that he was glad to see that critical discrimination had not been lost on hospitality, and Dr. Harris saved the situation by rising and proposing to toast to "Charles the Second, who never lost his head." r Books Miss Florence A.

A representative of the Defender has been busy this week in inquiring into the feeling that exists between the white people of Evanston and their domestic help, consisting of colored men and women. I found no instance wherein a white woman spoke other than in the highest terms of her maid or her cook. I found one white man who said that he thought so much of his cook, his maid and his butler that he would suffer to lose his life in their defense. And upon investigation I found that his white man was a southern gentleman. I found several instances where white persons are standing for certain sums of money that their employees have expended in buying themselves homes. I also talked with a number of house maids and cooks who said that they have always found a friend or friends in the people for whom they work. --- One chauffeur said that during the cold spell this last winter he was out of coal at home. He phoned to a coal yard for coal but told the man that he could not pay him till the first of the month. The coal man told the chauffeur in return that he could not help him out. The chauffeur then made his wants known to his employer and told him of the treatment that he had received at the hands of the coal company. The employer rang the coal man up and told him that his chauffeur was a man of his word and in refusing him (the chauffeur) he had refused him (the employer), whereupon he told the coal man that he did not need to deliver any more coal at his home. This white man uses from fifteen to twenty tons of coal a year. And since trading with a new coal company the white man and the chauffeur buy their coal on rebate. I found further that in every home friendly relations exist to such an extent that when the family doctor comes he examines everybody in the home. It is just as honorable to be a good faithful, honest, domestic employee as it is to be president of a bank or superintendent of a school, for in every white home I found our people surrounded by the highest morals. Mrs. Saunders of Wilmette, who has been quite ill for some time at Providence hospital is much improved. Palm Leaf Club.

The K. of P.'s had a charge made against them by one of the Evanston ladles, who felt that justice was not being meted out to a friend of hers who is a member of said lodge. When one of their members was taken a few weeks ago the lodge took full charge of him and all of his papers. When the lodge and the lady appeared before Judge Boyer he said to the woman: "You know you have been here once before mixed up in an affair like this. Now I have always found the members of the K. P. to be respectable men and I believe they will do as they say, so I leave the matter with them, to proceed as according to their rulings." This lodge is one of the strongest of its kind in Evanston and it pays no one to try and butt into their business. Baseball. The Boys' Athletic club won its first game of the season from the Evanston Ramblers by a score of 15 to 10.

R. L. Allen, the presiding elder preached in the morning and evening. The collection for the day was $102.50. Tuesday night the choir under the direction of Mr. Baker De Pugh, assisted by some of the best talent of the city, will render a jubilee concert. The entertainment is under the care of some of Ebenezer's best helpers. Let every one come out and give them a push. Next Tuesday night. From the report of Mr. George Pressley, secretary of the church, made at the quarterly conference Monday night. It was shown that there were from all sources during the past three months $1,469.60. This sum raised in three months without a rally or a special effort is a magnificent showing. The presiding elder spoke in great praise of the work of Ebenezer, saying among other things "that it easily leads the conference in all things with the exception of Quinn and Bethel, whose numbers are twice as large as that of Ebenezer." The Mite Missionary society of Ebenezer will be entertained at the home of Mrs. Baker Depugh next Friday night.

Samule Sanders, Leslie Gayles, Rev. H. E. McWilliams, the pastor, and wife were his (Sonile's) guests for dinner last Sunday.

Vast Difference Between the man who tries to make himself useful and the man who seeks merely to make himself necessary, the difference is great. One is honorable—the other an intriguer. OF GOLD BY TRICKERY GOLD BY TRICKERY Cook Turns Modern Science to Good Account. Man Without a Conscience Visits Numerous Chiefs and Induces Them, by Means of Talking Machine, Into Signing Away Lands. New York.—"I was reminded by a story I saw the other day," said a soldier of fortune, "of some of my experiences on the Gold Coast, when I had a cook who had the same fondness for cats as the cook mentioned by another traveler. My cook was named Quince Mensch, and he had an interesting career. "He was an Accra, and he had been trained by some Englishmen, who had taken him to London. There he had got into a fight of some kind, for which he had spent a year in jail, but he had learned to cook well, and that is something that is worth while in that part of the world. "Quince Mensch served me so faithfully one year that when I went to England I asked him what I should bring him on my return. He said there was nothing he would like so much as a photograph into which he could talk and unkno records of his own. I thought this was an old preference, but when I went back to the Gold Const I took a machine with me, and Quince Mensch was delighted. He served me faithfully for awhile, and then he suddenly disappeared. I learned that he had taken to the bush. It was a long time before I heard from him again, and then one day he turned up loaded down with deeds to land which was suspected of bearing gold. "I asked him how he got the deeds, He grinned. I cannot attempt to give his dialect, but he said the photograph was responsible. "I talked into the machine in the Punti language," he said. "I said: 'Chief, this man is a big john man, and a friend of mine. You must give him your whole place if you want me to be good to you.'" "I went to village after village, carrying the talking machine, and saw chief after chief. I would place the phonograph so they could not see what it was like, and then I would say to the chief that I was a juju man, and I was prepared to prove it. He would not believe me, but when I had got him quiet I would turn on the phonograph and tell them that the great juju was speaking. Of course, they had not heard of a talking machine, and when they heard this voice coming from a little horn, they would get scared and beg me to take all they had if only I would promise to get the great juju to look after them. I always promised, and they would make hustle to deed to me any piece of hand I asked for." "That cook, of course, had no such thing as a conscience, and you can see what civilization had done for him. I have heard recently that he is now the richest man on the whole Gold Coast and he got all he has out of the phonograph I gave him." MONKEY INVADES A SCHOOL Escapted Simlan Takes Possession of Room and Has Much Fun Before Captured by Student. Portland, Ore.—Escapting from his cage at the Seven Mile house, on the Secton Line road, a monkey ran amuck, made his way to the Buckley school house, located a short distance east, and took possession of the school, ousting the teacher and frightening the pupils. The simlan hopped from bench to bench, then back to the desk of the pretty school macum, who had retreated to a safe place, the intruder thoroughly enjoying his freedom, much to the alarm of the children. After disporting about the room for several minutes, the monkey dropped into the drinking bucket, full of water. The cold bath, most unexpected, did not halt the animal in his search for entertainment. Emerging from the bucket almost as quickly as he had dropped into it, he took a straight cut across the room over the heads of the pupils. Finally one of the boys, braver than the others, caught the animal after a hard struggle, placed it in a sack and restored it to its home, but Mr. Monkey had created such a disturbance that the rest of the lessons for the day in the Buckley school house were called off. CHICAGO BARS ALL "FRATS" Board of Education Also Rules Sororities From High Schools—No Secret Society Permitted. Chicago.—High school fraternities and sororities in Chicago public schools have been banished. The final vote of the board of education on the resolution abolishing the secret fraternities was 11 to 3. Under the new rule of the board no secret society in any city high school will be permitted in any circumstances. Pupils must either resign from societies or be expelled from their schools. Dean W. T. Sumner, chairman of the committee on school management, said he had compiled statistics showing co.clusively that secret society members were not good students. In one school in which there were 121 members of sororities and fraternities, the average standing of these members was only 74.56 per cent. WOMAN TO FILL MAN'S JOBS Mrs. Frances Shaw Says Femininity Can Compete in Any Line With Men—Even Climb Poles. Chicago.—There is nothing that can be done by man which cannot be accomplished with much more agility and grace by woman. Women can climb telephone poles and the position of "themen," the only one thought closed to the fair sex, is now thrown open. "Indeed, women can climb telegraph poles and telephone poles, and I have done so and without spikes at that," declared Mrs. Frances Shaw, vice-president of the World Betterment league, the other day. Mrs. Shaw was discussing the relative merits of man and woman before a meeting of the league. "The idea that women cannot compete in all kinds of business, professions and enterprises with men is an old hobby that we must get rid of." Mrs. Shaw said. "The one employment that requires more brains than any other is the business of housekeeping, which can be rightly done by women alone. "Intuition alone teaches women to do a great many things that men have to spend a long time thinking about before they attempt to do them. Women will hold all the positions now held exclusively by men before the next fifty years have past." The subject under discussion at the meeting was "Can women be trusted with large sums of money?" An unanimous vote of the women present declared for the affirmative of the proposition. "Women have been the financiers of this nation," declared Mrs. Minona Jones, president of the organization. "A great deal of the domestic discord in this country is caused by the women trying to save money and keep it from a spendthrift husband. "The widows of the firemen who lost their lives in the stock yards fire should be given the money intended for them, and they have all shown themselves capable of taking care of it." MUCH BETTING IN ENGLAND Great Increase in Gambling Reported to League Which is Fighting Evil—Women Victims. London.—Gambling is on the increase in England. According to reports to the British Anti-Gambling league, organized gambling is making gigantic strides, and this despite the fact that the police have made it very difficult for one to place bots in London and the other big cities of the kingdom. It is stated that whereas a century ago there were only 20 bookmakers in Great Britain and Ireland there are now some 30,000 men getting their living wholly or partly in this way. The turnover is estimated at about $400,000,000 on horse racing, and $150,000,000 on football and other sports. The gambling evil, too, is spreading alarmingly among women and children and is restricted to no particular class of society. There have been 46 cases of women bookmakers before the courts in the last year. The league has protested to the government against the receipt of foreign lottery circulators and called the attention of the police to the existence of many girls' betting clubs. To show how deeply the gambling passion has taken hold, the directors of the league declare there are many bookmakers who stoop so low as to take bets for slapness or a shilling from girls or boys. When one reflects upon these statements one realizes that New York is far from being as black as it has been painted. HEN IS JACK OF ALL TRADES Glenville, N. Y., Chicken Helps Owner to Build Coop After He Smashes Finger With Hammer. Tarrytown, N. Y.—The white leg-born hen owned by John Grohan of Glenville, which a few weeks ago followed him to the trolley car to pay his fare with a nickel he had forgotten, has again proved her devotion to her master. The other day Grohan enjoyed a half holiday and he started to build a small chicken coop. The hen stood by and watched him pick up the nails and drive them home. After he had picked up half a dozen the hen walked over and picked up one with her beak and dropped it in his hand. This was simple, and Grohan was getting along well with his job when he smashed his finger. With this handeup he couldn't hold the nails. The hen, seeing that something was wrong, held a nail in her beak. Grohan placed the hen's head near the board and with a gentle tap started the nail, and the hen then picked up another nail. After that the hen held the pails against the boards and Grohan drove them home and the coop was soon complete. Japan Stops Coloring Tea New York.—The consul general of Japan, K. Midzuma, has announced that the Japanese government had issued an edict to Japanese tea growers that hereafter the manufacture of artificially colored teas in Japan was prohibited. This action follows the ruling made by the United States treasury department that on and after May 1 tea shipped to the United States must be free from any coloring or facing matter whatsoever. E.
