Mrs. Harriet Wilson, 1015 Cottage Grove avenue, first flat, believes in the Old Testament. Her gold watch was stolen when she had a little whiskey head expressman moving her from 737 East 10th street to her present address, given above. She went to this expressman's house on 38th street and demanded of him that he return the watch. He pronounced her crazy for accusing him of taking the watch, and he was the only one handling the trunk, and the watch, she claims, was in the trunk before she tied the rope around it. And she said that she had noticed that the rope had been tampered with but paid no more attention to it. Anyway, she, a believer in the Old Testament, goes to a fortune teller on May 26 and on June 3 the watch was slipped into the house while the doors were all locked and Mrs. A new railway tunnel has been opened in the city of Chennai, India. The tunnel, which is 100 meters long and 100 meters wide, will be used for the construction of a new railway station. The tunnel will be built on the existing railway line and will be connected to the existing railway station. The tunnel will be opened on December 1, 2023. 2 ```markdown ``` Monday morning, while the sky was clear and the sun shining brightly, Mrs. I. L. Hall, 321 East 29th place, decided that she would take advantage of the day, and among other things would go and pay her gas bill. After arriving at the gas office she discovered that she did not have the money in her hand bag, and a thought struck her that it was in her. Well, or first thought was to go to the hare's rest room to find it. As she sat over to the room, which is in large of a colored woman of no education nor refinement, confronted Mrs. Hall and told her that "colored women were not allowed in there; it was only for white ladies." She was so shocked for a moment she could not speak, finally she managed to say, "Very well," and made a hasty retreat for her home. Told Husband Next Morning. During the afternoon she called up several friends and told them of the incident, and how cute she was treated by a woman of her race. They in turn told other friends of the incident, and finally they began to call up the office of the defender and demanded that a reporter he sent at once to investigate the case. Getting the tip, our reporter started out to find Mr. Hall. On going to his place of business, where he has been employed by Derriman Bros, for twenty years, we learned that he had just gone to the gas company to pay a gas bill, whereupon our reporter fingered around and finally caught him. He told how he went over to the gas people and stated the case of his wife and how the secretary called the woman out of the rest room and asked her before him; how she came to do as she did, and she said she thought they did not like colored ladies in there. Our reporter then calls up the office and made his report. The editor releaves him and take up the matter himself. Editor Abbott Interviews Secretary Willey. Making the trip down to the gas office, the editor inquired from the special police whom he should see to make complaints, and he was shown over to Mr. John O. Karlson's desk, who is manager of the office. He in turn told our editor that Secretary Wiley was in, and since he had been talking with Mr. Hall he thought it best to see him. Mr. Wiley, after being introduced to Editor Abbott, stated the case to him and said, "The only thing the young woman could have gotten confused on was the order not to allow any one in who did not appear neat and outside of that there were no other orders given. Secretary Wiley Begs Colored Citizens' Pardon. Mr. Wiley said, "Mr. Abbott, I assure you and the members of your race that it is not mine nor any member of the corporation to mistreat any of our patrons, be they black or white. We are here for business and we assure that if any one is offended the company, through me, begs their pardon, and assures them that no hurlden of the sort will ever occur again. Mr. Karlson Delighted with Defend- Having finished with the secretary, Mr. Karlson escorted the editor to the door, and while on the way, introduced him to Special Messenger Wm. H. Wharton, who for seventeen years was an employee of the company and was told by this young man that as long as he had been in its employ that was the first time any such act had happened, and he (Mr. Wharton) was sure the young woman misrepresented the company. Mr. Karlson then said, "I have charge of the office --- and I assure you, Mr. Abbott, that every one is, and will always be, treated alike, and when this company reaches the place where I must be a "degree" then I will pass in my resignation. I am not a slave; I am a man and I believe in a fair deal to all. Shaking the hand of the editor, we parted. Told of White and Colored Working Together. During the discussion of the above case, Secretary Wiley was asked why they turn off the colored help and place white ones in their stead, and was it because the colored men were not proficient? He said, "No. It was because the company thought the white and colored help could not or would not work together. The editor cited the postoffice with its thousands of white and colored help working on the same bench and we have our first time to hear of disorder among them. The editor then told the secretary that the intelligent colored men and women are looking to the intelligent and cultured whites to break down the burrier, and that they did not ever expect to get quarters from the poor element, and if they, with their learning and culture, would continue to turn a deaf ear the time would not be long before the entire country would be plunged into one of the greatest disorders it has ever seen. Chicago Girl Should Have Job. A young woman from Chicago should have the job that is held by this St. Louis woman for several reasons; first is because the Chicago whites and colored have gone to school together and sat side by side in college and church, while in St. Louis the opposite is the rule. A white gentleman and lady in Chicago look at the ability of a person and not wholly of color, and for still another reason we are used to being treated like men in Chicago, while at the South the race is treated like children; therefore a position like the one in question, to cause less friction, would be safer in the hands of a Northerner than a person fresh from the South, where Jim Crow and segregation are taught in their Sunday schools and churches. We are pleased to state to the readers of the Defender that the incident is closed, and we feel sure that nothing of the kind will ever occur in the palatial building of the People's Gas Company of Chicago, and especially during the reign of such men as Secretary Wiley, John O. Karlson and the laws of the State of Illinois. BELIEVES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT—GOLD WATCH STOLEN, Removed On the 10th of April and On June 3 the Watch Was Returned. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1911. Wilson was away on business. Can anyone figure this mystery out? It looks to the writer that it must have been a put up job between this fortune teller and the one who entered her trunk and took the watch, as there was no eye witness to it. It is not safe to claim as true that this whisky head expressman took the watch, and again it looks as if the one who had taken the waten was seeking for money. Be careful who you have to move you is a warning to everybody. MR. CHAS. REESE PATH FINDER. Recieves Praise From the Studebaker Corporation for Finding Nearer Route From Chicago to South Bend and Indianapolis. Mr. Charles Reese in the employ of the Studebaker Company received a letter this week from his company thinking him for the great work he did in assisting the company arranging a map to assist the automobilebasis in reaching these cities much quicker than hereforeo; the letter reads thus: Juna 6. Mr. Class, Reese, Chicago, Ill. Dar Charles: The road map which we made together drawing is about done. I believe scheme which we have worked out here for automobilebasis will be displayed easily handled, and will be of great benefit to all automobilebasis going from Chicago to South Bend.

The Studebaker Corporation. By Robert Clark. Cheyenne, Wyo., June 9.—This city was all surprise on Saturday when the first appearance of a colored lawyer in the person of Mr. John Auter was known in the city. He was called here to conduct the defense in the case of the State of Wyoming vs. Carrie Sanford, who shot and killed Mrs. Bessie Taylor during a quarrel. Self-defense, it is said, will be the plea of Attorney Auter for the Taylor woman. The case was called for the Sth, but Attorney Auter had it extended to the 11th, which will allow him time to get witnesses for his client. Mrs. Taylor is to be reputed to have $175,000, and it is said no part of their funds will be spared to free her in this trial. COLORED DOCTORS CURE LOCKJAW Dr. G. W. Lacey and Dr. G. W. Miller Cure First Case of Lockjaw in History of Medicine. They Sent to Several Medical Houses for Antitetanic Serum, but, Strange to Say, Every One Refused to Give Their Aid—Now That Success Has Been Obtained, They Want These Doctors' Testimonies. Thomas Lewis of 3561 Wabash avenue has just recovered from a severe case of tetanus, commonly called lockjaw. Thomas was taken ill with the disease on the fifth day of May and was discharged as cured June 6, 1911. Dr. G. W. Lacey, 3671 State street, was the attending physician, with G. W. Miller, 3562 Forest avenue, associate. Full partitions will be given in next week's issue. MISS JONES-DERRICK BETTTER, To Editor Chicago Defender.

Kansas City, Mo., June 9--On June 7 a monument to John Brown (white), erected from a fund started by the late Bishop Abram Grant of the African Methodist Church, was unveiled in Kansas City, Kan., to-day, in connection with the commencement exercises of the Western University for Negroes. The money was given exclusively by Negroes. Miss Eva Marshall Shontz (white), a sister of Theodore P. Shontz (white), of New York; Governor Stubbs (white), Lieut. Gov.

THE HENDERSON-OFFICER MAR- RIAGE. Wednesday evening first Dr. T. S. officer was married to Dr. Ollie Honderson at the home of her brother, Dr. Mervin Bibb, 2000 State street. The affair was one of the prettiest home weddings that has occurred this season among the cultured families of the city. The wedding presents were many and costly. One room was given over entirely to presents; some were even on the walls of the spacious room. Miss Rebecca Bong was bridesmaid, she coming all the way from Augusta, Ga., to do the honors. Dr. L. L. Allen, a cousin of the bride, was groomman, and Dr. Bibb, the bride's brother, was best man. Society was out on masse de clustee. The couple had a time getting out on the home to go to their flat at 325 State street, where they have offices, medical and dental, she being a dentist, as the crowd threw rice, sugar, and some of the young ladies threw coffee at them. A reporter for the Defender saw a drug with an old rubber boot, which he intended throwing, but was dissuaded from the act. List of presents will appear in the next issue of the Defender. EX-REV. JOHN A. DAVIS ASSAULTED. Ex-Rev. John W. Davis, 192 West 17th street, near the northwest corner of 47th street and Armour avenue, was assaulted with a brickbat on the head Monday night, June 5, at 9 p.m. by some fellow named "John." Levi Jamison, the barber in the employ of Rev. Davis, was shaving a gentleman by the name of Dick Shaw, and when this man "John" hit Rev. Davis on the head with the brick it bounced and hit Barber Levi Jamison's arm, causing him to cut Dick Shaw in the forehead. As far as can be learned it was said that the man who hit Rev. Davis bought him the pigefoot and caused back a few spaces and landed the brick on his head. The Rev. Davis' wife was seen escorting him to the doctor's office at 47th and State streets, and when his wounds were dressed she took him to the 50th street police station. What was done there has not been learned. A man's house is his castle. If this be the case, Rev. Davis should protect his house at any cost. The neighbors all seem to rejoice at the way the Rev. Davis was assaulted. Why don't Davis move out of that section of the neighborhood? From what can be learned from the police they claim that Davis gives them more work than any one in the neighborhood. And Ex-Rev. Davis is also an officerman. It looks as if he should be on friendly terms with the police. Of course there are two sides to a story. There is a gang of can rushers right in that corner where Davis is doing business and it is this class of men who are working on Rev. Davis' head just as though it was a hog's head. Davis is at least a human being, but little consideration is given to this point, and if the law does not protect him it is up to Davis to take the law in his own hand and protect himself. There must be some protection for people who are paying the city of Chicago a reward to do business, and there is no use for the world to be down on one man. The man who hit Rev. Davis made good his escape. But his description has been telephoned to all the stations to bring his body into court. No two persons are ever more confidential and cordial than when they are consulting a third. THE·CHICAGO DEFENDER THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE. WHY DON'T YOU PAY FOR IT? WE HAVE ALWAYS DONE OUR DUTY.

The University Society at Quinn Chapel—Mme. Anita Patti Brown's Wonderful Trills Receive a Royal Ovation. The University Society of Quinn Chapel church gave a musical soiree on Thursday evening, June 1st, to a highly cultured audience. The occasion also served to reintroduce Madam Anita Patti Brown in one number of the program as a homecoming welcome and as the star of the evening. Her first number was "I am Titania" from Ambrose Thomas's "Mignon." There was a big demonstration upon her entrance and the moment her golden organ pealed forth its notes everybody present set back breathing an air of satisfaction, knowing that we were once more dwelling in a superior atmosphere of exquisite harmony, for Patti Brown is a rare example of the more perfect art of true method with the proper conception of vocalization. The selection which was rendered in Italian suffered by a lack of depthness in foreign mono and poly-syllables. But her voice is the one matchless organ of the present generation of colored singers, the greatest indication of which is revealed in her trilling which resounds to the echo. I have never heard any colored singer accomplished this advanced stage of development to equal Madame Brown. But in Justice to Madame Sissieretta Jones (Black Patti) I must state that her articulation, phazing and dipthong expression is superior to Madam Brown's as yet and until the young diva can accomplish this plain of vocal development can she claim to be absolutely greater than the Black Patti of her day. But in the summary both of these singers are superior to Madam Hackley. The second important feature on the program was the appearance of Madam Clara Jackson Hutchinson who proved to be a surprise for she really possesses, a soprano voice of excellent quality and her upper notes are rich and her trilling is remarkable. Her rendition of the Jewel Song from Faust was lacking in dramatic intensity and especially muskful in the recitative. Her great love for slumber music and lack of accentuation from a classical view was tediously slow and unconventional but now we have a new rival among the greatest singers. The sexett from Lucia subtracted to four people was fairly well rendered by Miss Clark, Madam Naive Coleman Lewis, the contratto, whom we regret to note, did not sing a solo, Mr. De Cooper and Mr. Mason of the Umbrian Glee Club, Mr. A. Chas Elger gave a violin solo by Goddard and he is another young artist who is making rapid progress and while his car or rather his finish is yet untrue and artistically faulty he otherwise played well and received an encore. Opel De Cooper and Miss Grace A. Clark sang the Miserere from Trovatore which all but lacked vigor, was rendered nicely. Miss Clark's soprano is delicately sweet and Mr. De Cooper has a rich tenor voice which needs more training. Messrs Childress, Cooper, Taylor and A. A. Brown opened with a quartette. Theodore Taylor and S. A. Robinson both rendered piano solos. William C. Elkins and one or two others did not appear. Rev. Dr. Cook was all smiles. The officers of the U. S. are Thos. S. Ewell, pres. Frank W. Henry, vice pres. Mamle Gaines, sect. Elmore Richardson, treas. Katherine Williams, Ruth Parks and Funie B. Hunter were on the committee. Miss Gertrude Jackson's accompaniments were finished but Theodore Taylor was better than usual, a little too loud. Reese Brother's "Africanda" at Mott's Pekin Theater And an All Colored Bill Pleaseed Immensely. There was something doing at the Pekin theater last Monday when Arthur and Ollie Reese, the two well known twin brother comedians, appeared for the first time since their return from Europe. The show was lively, the music tuneful and the dancing was clever. Ollie Reese, as the old mammy, was decidedly original and picturesque and full of witty sayings and his brother Arthur was equally clever in boy comedy anties and there was not a dull moment in the skit which could have been a little longer in the comedy scenes. Tom Davis, Jessie Reese, Eleanor Wilson, Rube Johnson, Octavia Beasley, Wm. Charlton, Wm. Paxton, Chas. Brewer, R. W. Richards, Alonzo Blue, Florence Blue and Chas. Alexander, Morris Glanz, manager. The Southern Comedy Four, Mr. and Mrs. Huddleson, Budd Smith and Tom Reed, chimed well in a comedy act and Mr. Smith did some clever comedy work, but the Yoldling songs was the finest number they used. Taylor and Price appeared at this house and the little man did some wonderful tummbling and the lady sang and danced well. The show drew large houses. Madam Fairfax and a One Act Drama at the New Grand Theater. Madame Falfrax the prince donna soprano and baritone vocalist and Master Harry Stafford Falfrax, a clever boy dancer who has a sweet singing voice was one of the very heat acts seen at the New Grand theater Monday night, and the act was nicely arranged. The Madam is indeed a very gifted singer. The team of Jones and Jones, which warmed up slow but sure, gave good satisfaction. The short legged dancer for unique and original steps in dancing was decided- ly great. The white acts consisted of Walter Law and company in "At the Threshold" which made a good impression, Mr. Law especially distinguished himself as an actor. Momo's Arabian acrobats scored on sensational feats in tumbling and "Tinney's Three Classy Kids" including an eccentric violinist a girl and a boy female impersonator, were also on the bill. The orchestra played better than ever before and received an encore. The Bahamian trio was added to the bill for the week and went big. Good Bill at the Monogram, Johnny Jones, formerly of Jones and Sutton, and Eva Moore made their first appearance at the Monogram on Monday night and the first appearance in Chicago since Jones' return from Cuba. Jones has been long known as a big time entertainer, more especially of the refined type and his singing and dancing as usual made a good hit. Miss Moore proved to be a very clever artist and the act as a whole was well liked. The Clark's returned extremely popular. Their act seemed almost entirely new so clever are these two artists and so original is their work that they will be welcome visitors for a long time on the stroll. Miss Annie St. Clair, who lost her trunk, made good with specialties quickly gotten together. The Misses Russell and Barnett in operatic duets and character songs were a novelty. The work of the orchestra was heavy. W. C. Sweatman gave good variations on the clarinet, Will Dorsey's piano accompaniment was delicious and George Reeves' trappings were unparalleled. Manager Martin Klein has now struck the popular fancy. Miss Hawkins' Children's Entertainment Miss Anna Irene Hawkins of the Gate Plano Company gave a children's entertainment with a scene "The Little Gypsy" at Massole Hall Tuesday evening, June 6th, which was well appreciated and the audience was thoroughly in touch and sympathy with the efforts of the pupils and children who should be more encouraged in Chicago in juvenile work. Miss Emma Kinchen was the pianist and S. H. Dorsey's orchestra supplied the music. All the children done well. Among those who took part were: Irene White, Mabel Shaughter, Mable Radcliffe, Angella Wilson, Alenzo McGilery, Juanita Baker, Ruby Williams, Madeline Hunter, Zazel Gatther, Adah Harris, Phillis Baker and others. An Indian scene by the larger girls took rank. Phoenix Theater Does Good Business. The moving picture business is going up now. The people seem to like them and this house is doing good business. Ed Goodbar, the sweet tenor singer, has surpassed all expectations in singing illustrated songs and has succeeded in drawing the new 600. Saparo and Jones will open at the Willard June 12th. Benny Jones is now on his way to Chicago. William Barker, who has been ill at his home in Brooklyn, N. Y., is much better. Frank Clermonto has improved enough to be out. His wife is working alone. This comes from New York. Black Carl has suddenly deserted the Windy City and gone to New York to attend to the Carl and Slater booking agency. Mr. Carl stopped at Pittsburg on his way East. Richard S. Harrison has arrived in the city from his Southern tour of reading retreats. While in New York he arranged with Lester A. Walton to establish a Lycme bureau. "Whose going to be your Bon Bon Buddy when I'm dead and gone?" is a new ragtime song written by H. Kid Love of Love and Love. The Baudana Four will play Indianapolis and possibly Louisville, Ky., on their way to New York. They left Chicago last Sunday. The members are Lloyd G. Gibbs, William C. Elkins, Jas, Mantell Thomas, and G. Henry Tapley. Tom Fletcher had his baggage already packed to start for New York when his booking manager, A. E. Meyers, was compelled to send him out to Kansas for three weeks; he opens at Topeka, but Tom says "Look for him on 135th street soon." The death of Maurice Shapiro, the music publisher, will be much tegretted by colored performers. W. S. Gilbert of Gilbert and Sullivan, who wrote the lyrics of The Mikado and other operas is also numbered with the missing. Billy McCarran and wife will open at the New Grand Monday, June 12th, Sylvester Russell, dramatic critic of this newspaper, will make his first and only appearance in Chicago at the Pekin theater Monday, June 19th for one week only, returning to the stage as a singer.

SYLVESTER RUSSELL TO APPEAR AT THE PEKIN THEAER WEEK OF JUNE 19. All doubt was set aside last Monday evening when Manager Motts ordered Sam Corker to give Mr. Russell contracts for a week's engagement at his own salary. Mr. Russell will sing for one week only at the Pekin, beginning Monday, June 19. Many people who are not aware that Mr. Russell has been a prominent professional singer for over twelve years until his retirement from the stage four years ago, look upon the coming engagement as a joke, especially young actors, but Mr. Russell, who has gained honest fame in the musical and literary world, proposes to convince or rather show a whole lot of would-bes the art of vocal culture and how to sing. The Russell repertoire will consist of a semi-classical ballad, a great dramatize shipwreck song and in a neat little speech (by request) Mr. Russell will introduce and sing Anderson and Thompson's "If I Forget." The Pekin orchestra is to be augmented for the occasion. Wherefore "Terse." "Terese" is a word that has an understood meaning nowadays. Shudde well in the fourth net of "The Humorists" (1671) put this question into the mouth of one of his characters: "Must I stay by the strength of terese charet you have wet yourself into courage?" It is probably an allusion to what is still sometimes called "Dutch courage"—bravery inspired by alcohol. Charet was in those times imported in "tierces," and "terese" may be a condensed form of that word. Also "terese" may be a condensed form of that word. Also "terese charet" may have been a drink that did its business without any circumlocution, like the terese speaker or writer. How He Did It 'Arry: D'jear 'ow I done that swany klipper down a bit uy an argument up the Crown? Ysee, 'e mos stickin' up for them dirty foreigners' ideas o'fair, an' just as 'e's in the middle uv it I shouts out, "Look at yer beer." 'Course, round goes 'is 'end, then I fetches 'im such a bliff over the car-'ole. 'Favens! I could 'car the blessed burful fairly roarin" as 'I opped round the corner.—The Sketch A Good Thing. Dr. Clausen, the most eminent of German surgeons, says that the only reason birds and animals and beasts don't talk is because their tongues are not hung right. It's a blessed thing that they are not. If they were, man would have dogs and cats and crows and coons and foxes calling hello to him every time he walked out, and if he didn't stop for a chat, he'd soon get the name of being an old crank. There's talk enough as it is. Bad for the Boys. During a spring thunderstorm in Orange county, N. Y., a flock of crows numbering 83 sought the same tree for shelter. It was struck by lightning and 79 of the birds killed. There are not more than a dozen crows left in the county, and what the boys are going to throw stones at this summer is a puzzle. They'll have to coax the crows in from some other county or give up the fun of pegging. Complex Accomplishment. "I understand you speak French like a native." "No," replied the student; "I've got the grammar and the accent down pretty fine. But it's hard to learn the gestures." Improved Street Sprinkling. A street sprinkling wagon from which the water issued in flat sheets, striking the ground without splashing, is a recent invention. Measures Heat Radiation. An instrument for measuring the nocturnal terrestrial radiation of heat has been invented by a Daulsh scientist. Labor In Champagne Production. In the course of champagne making the grapes are squeezed six times. The Sporting World DIAMOND DUST. The game Sunday at the Leland Giants park was the best in the city. Did you see it? If not, why not? The Boosters will be on hand Sunday in great force to witness the presentation of the pennant to the Giants, as city champions and the foot race at Normal Park. L. Lehman, J. F. Taylor, R. H. Payne, R. S. Abbott and F. Day joined the Boosters' club last Saturday night and will be initiated tonight at the Burlington Cafe, 2018 State street, so as to be full fledged members at Sunday's game between the Leland Giants and the Artemisians in their flag raising stunt at 69th and Halsted streets. Don't miss this game. The Lelands will leave Sunday night for West Baden, where they play one week, and at Louisville, June 18, 19 and 20, returning June 25. Buster Henderson was fired $1,000, W. Adams, the haberdasher, $500, and President Bolling censured, for inattention to lady boosters at Saturday night's meeting. However, on motion of R. H. Payne all fine were suspended after the recalcitrants had properly conferred with the Burlington mixologist. Capt. Nate Harris dropped in and paid his respects to the Boosters and thanked them for making life miserable for the players and joyful for the spectators at the game Sunday. Prof. Wm. Emanuel and Artist Johnson were among the race building characters at Sunday's game who believed in patronizing race enterprise. Tomorrow, Sunday, will be the Lo兰's last home game until June 25, when the play the boys from New York, the Buffalo Giants. The best game in the city last Sunday was played by the Loland Glants and Spaldings, as the following results will show: Loland Glants, 3; Spaldings, 2. Chicago Cubs, 6; New York Glants, 5. American Glants, 10; West Ends, 9. Chicago Glants, 7; Cuban Stars, 5. Gunthers, 4; Rogers Park, 3. Thus it can readily be seen that the Spaldings and Lolands put up the best article of ball in the five leading games played on the local diamonds. When it comes to pitchers, a great deal can be said about various athletes who have played in and around Chicago, and perhaps there are now some of the best pitchers in the business connected with Chicago teams, but anyone who has studded and observed impartially the career and consistent work of the slab artist must give the palm of superiority to one of the youngest men in the business and that, too, to the Loland Glants world's wonder, Frank Wiekler, scarcely 22 years of age. He has made and kept the best record for the past two seasons of any pitcher increase and is predestined to go down in baseball history as the greatest pitcher any race has as yet produced. Last Sunday he struck out 12 of the Spaldings, a team that recently defeated the American Glants. You should see him work Sunday at 69th and Halsted streets. Fred Evans, the Keystone Beau Brummel, has made application to join the Boosters and will be at Sunday's game. All boosters are hereby requested to put in an appearance at Lechland Giants park at 2:30 p. m., Sunday, June 11, to witness flag raising. By order of Jess F. Bolling, president. The Grace team will cross bats with the crack Second United nine from Englewood this afternoon at Washington Park. Last Saturday the Grace team, with "Gene" Renfroe in the box, whitewashed the Forty-first street club at Washington Park by the score of 4 to 0. The Douglass Athletic club has been having many new features under discussion but nothing has yet materialized but the prospects of the future look bright. By all good intents and purposes Sir Jack Johnson has landed, If the mighty ocean has not swallowed him up, and is now on English soil or near the land where color cuts no figure and where every darkey is a King, according to Paul Lawrence Dunbar and his interpretation by Williams and Walker, long before King Edward, Dunbar and Walker died. But the new coronation must go on and Jack and his wife must further and more convincingly impress upon us that white and black may be a very undesirable mixture for some but when it comes high we must have it as one of the jokes of human nature and a very polite one on the whims and pretenses of some of the white people over here in lovely America. The greatest solution of the race problem in sport and the way it is illustrated by pictures of Jack in his English togs was more pretentious and extravagant than the garments worn by Roosevelt. The old fashioned Negro dialect we see in the newspapers speaks well for Dunbar's reputation for doing finer work now read in his books and flatters Tuskegee and Fiske awfully and lauds the name of Booker T. Washington. And all the little shrimps of white sports are still busy contending for the hope of a white man's country so foully blasted by the pedigree, wealth and prestige of the black champion heavyweight fighter of the world. Care of the Attle. Few a are celled, but if they are not hight the walls and the beams should be treated to a coat of white paint or whitewash. Once a month the floor should be swept. The wind as should be washed three or four times a year. Twice a year there should be a campaign waged against moth, roaches and possible bedbugs, as well as against larger vermin.

Manager Foster Removes Himself After Allowing Four Runs In the Sixth. Sunday, June 4, American Glants defeated the West Ends on flag raising day at American Glants' park in an eleven inning game, 10 to 9. Gran scored the winning run when he got on base on a fielder's choice. He went to third on Peteway's Texas longer, and a wild pitch by Merz allowed him to score.

Islanders Put Up a Stubborn Battle Against Local Team, but Finally Are Humbled, 7 to 6. --- Chicago Giants defeated the Cuban Stars Tuesday, June 6, at Schorling's grounds, 7 to 6. The Cubans showed no signs of life until the eighth, when three passes, a hit, an error, and two wild pitches put them a run to the good. The Giants then rushed in the benchwarmers, who shot the ball all over the field for the victory. The same clubs will meet to-day.

Billard and Maublant, recorded in the "Compete Rendus" of the Biological society of Paris, shows that the common duck exhibits a remarkable indifference to the venom of the viper. They also find that the owl is similarly immune. Two of these, badly bitten on the feet, did not seem much worse. M. Billard also finds that the domestic cat has almost complete immunity as regards the viper. On a Pinch. Rivers (erasing something he has written)—I want to 'speak of a bald-headed man and I don't want to use the billiard-ball comparison. 'Can't you think of something not quite so hackneyed? Brooks—You might say he's as bald as an eggplant. Rivers (rattling away on his typewriter)—Thanks; that'll do fairly well. Curious Sect. The Tharys, dwelling in the Himalayas, are a curious sect, who believe in self-destruction, to please the gods, but compromise by sacrificing one of their fingers. When the oldest son or daughter is married, the mother is expected to cut off two joints of two fingers, but princesses and wealthy people are permitted to offer gold substitutes. Time and Season. How for everything there is a time and a season and then how does the glory of a thing pass from it, even like the flower of the grass. This is a truth, but it is one of those which are continually forcing themselves upon the mind—Borrow. Prayer of the Exile They are so homesick they pray like this: "If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take back to Tennessee." — Memphis Commercial Appeal "Upon the success of the Leland Giants this year depends the Negro's continuance as a factor in the baseball arena. Their Park is the only Park in the city operated and controlled by Negroes. This should be sufficient for every Negro to attend the games at this Park."

Planning your vacation? Now is the season when the baseball fans find work very irksome. Fourth of July is scarcely a month off; better save up your pennies. It does not pay to steal a sewing machine of the firm if you are a partner. Chicago is not a good town for white folks" "niggers," the young St. Louis woman found out. Roosevelt declares he will not be a candidate in 1912. Did we hear any one suggesting the name of Booker T.? Dr. Ollieher did not appear on the street at all on Thursday. We wonder why? It is said he got the rubber boot. The young man seen on the lid of a skyscraper down town early the other day was taken for a mountain climber. We wonder if the young partner who robbed his partner of the sewing machine thought he needed it to stitch the cuts on his head. James Arthur Johnson has just purchased two thousand dollars' worth of clothes and is on his way to the corporation. He evidently intends to go full dress. Charge up two ribs to the hat pin mansue. A young lady walking on State street the other evening stooped over to pick up her hat pin and—bing! went the sall ribs. It's strange that congress has never thought of sending Jack Johnson down to Mexico to settle that little unpleasantness. Diaz should have mentioned the matter before. we have no better A recent census shows that Ireland's population has decreased about 2 per cent in the last ten years. We thought it was far more than that, judging from the number on the police force. Isn't it comforting to read in the daily papers that a regular blizzard is raging in Mantolia when the weather here is so hot that you feel like even taking off your flesh and sitting in your bones? Duluth, Minn., sent about 300 Austrians back to their former home on account of no work. We wonder if the average Negro could make it across country after he had gone to the above city. It cost many thousand dollars to raise the ill fated "Maline" and the experts now tell us that she blew herself up. Thus are the Spandillas exonerated, our curiosity appeased and our treasury depleted. At last lean people are to get their just dues. Herefore they have all ways had to pay as much as fat people, but on a stage line out in California passengers are required to pay recording to their weight. --- In Oklahoma a judge has just decided that the "grandfather clause" amendment to the state constitution, which was designed to eliminate the negro vote, is invalid, as being contrary to the fifteenth amendment of the federal constitution. So much for Oklahoma. Representative Edwards of Georgia stood on the floor of Congress with tears in his eyes, begging to lift the band off the Jew and let them enter the army and navy schools unmolested. We note with pride his assertion that he claims to be a man of God, and is willing to help all races up by the help of God but the "nigger." The "nigger," notwithstanding, will take care of himself and perchance take care of the congressman when the Japs arrive. Glory to God for such Christianity—it is purely American. Scandinavian Courtship It was considered beneath the dignity of a Scandinavian warrior to court his bride by gallantry and submission; he always waited until she had bestowed her affections on another and was in her way to the marriage ceremony, then collecting his faithful followers they fell upon the wedding party and carried away the bride. It was much in favor of this practice that marriages were always celebrated at night. Wasted. "It costs him ten thousand dollars a year to live," said Mr. Jones, referring to an acquaintance, and his companion, according to a writer in Life, asks: "Why does he spend his money so foolishly?" --- "OPPORTUNITY." By Cornellus H. Robinson, 415 Montmouth St., Jersey City, N. J. (For The Chicago Defender.) In view of the many recent opportunities of Negroes to positions of importance, both in the service of the national government and under the municipal governments of many of the large cities of this country, a word of the opportunity that awaits those still without the goal of their ambition seems most timely. Opportunity is a busy agent travelling unlimited distances and leaving at the doors of countless thousands his invitations to advance with him. Are you ready for the pilgrimage? Are your affairs kept in that condition of nicety that you can at a moment's notice take up the new responsibilities? It is an old saying that "opportunity knocks but once at any man's door." How erroneous that adage is can readily be seen when you look about you at the rapid growth of the nation, with its business voice ever calling for live men to mount the ladder of achievement. Opportunity awaits you at every turn. We often allow it to pass us by, being unable to distinguish it from every day happenings. For this reason it becomes our plain duty so to train our brain and powers of observation that, at the first step of opportunity in our direction, we may step forth upon the new highway and meet it with that steadfastness of purpose and success of intent which, combined with a healthy body and a clear conscience, will surely open the door of a new existence and give you an added respect in the community in which you move. To do this our young men and women must choose between the butterfly life—of which we see to much—and the straightforward—if some times monotous—life that leads to successful careers. In our large cities there are many of the youth of our race fitted for positions far above those they occupy, and kept back more by their overindulgence in the pleasures their envy affords, and their lack of application to the perquisites of a business life. Thus, by the united antagonism of the average employer, there have been instances in the past when a prospective employer, approached by one of our race, has been prone to admit the capabilities of the applicant after the interview and to erase from the unwritten law of his institution the clause, "No Negro help employed here." The time is come, for the youth of our race to stand out in the spotlight of publicity, proclaiming your virtues, demanding the recognition due you and forget all the time the prejudices that engulfed our foreparents. Strive for that higher plane to which your individuality especially fits you and to which you will eventually arrive by a due observance of the laws of your community, the rights of your neighbors, and that perseverance and strength of character that is certain of its reward. Mr. Cornelius H. Robinson is a dhing car waiter in the service of the Erie Railway company between Jersey City and Chicago. We need a few more men like Mr. C. H. Robinson and I must congratulate him on the article, "Opportunity"—John R. Whiston. IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE. In sweet remembrance of husband and father. One year ago to day you passed away; it seems but yesterday. Whenever we speak your loving name our eyes with tears are wet. Oh, husband, how we loved you, and love can not forget. The Lord took you from us—it was His holy will—and left in our hearts a vacancy which no one else can fill, but in our saddest moments one happy thought holds sway; we will meet again, dear loved one, and be happy some sweet day.... From Wife and Sons and Daughter. A Good Idea. In most of the public schools of France boys are taught how to restore to life a person who has seemingly been drowned; how to carry a boy who has broken bones; what to do for a bad nosebleed; how to apply a turnup; what to do in case poison is taken by mistake, and a score of other useful things. Such things should be taught in the public schools at home everywhere. College Education Helpful. "Do you believe in a college education?" "Helleve in it? What do you mean?" "Do you think it is likely to help a man?" "Certainly. If my son Bill had never gone to college it isn't likely that he would ever have been noticed by any of the managers of the big league clubs." A Pen to Stone Cherry A good way to stone cherries is to use a common steel writing pen, turning the point into a new penholder, thus making a little scoop so that it fits the stone and removes it without bruising the fruit at all.—Woman's Home Companion.

This albino stranger is looked at askance by the other birds, who hop round it at a safe distance, as if he were a dangerous foreigner to be avoided. Took Offense. "What made that woman crazy?" "I happened to step on her train." "Well?" "Then I raled my hat politely and said: 'Excuse me, madam, your equilibrator is dragging,' and she lost her temper."

HERE IS THE LATEST HAREM BATHING SUIT HERE IS THE LATEST HAREM BATHING SUIT GARMENT DECLARED TO BE FOR WOMEN SWIMMERS RATHER THAN FOR POSERS. Chicago.—We have scoffed at the harem skirt; but we bow to the harem bathing suit. It is something entirely new and a change which has been much new. The luxury of the modern bathing suit for women, reached its climax in the saffin-embroidered and be-flowered affairs of last year, which were extremely costly and absolutely unserviceable. There were satin caps, bathing parasols and reticules to match, all costly, perishable and useless for bathing, whatever they may have been for using on the THE FASHION WEEK Harem Bathing Suit, beach. And the woman as she strolled upon the sundress was a thing of beauty but no swimmer. The bare harem bathing suit is practical and sensible. It is intended to swim in, not to pose in. And it is far more modest than the average beach bathing suit. It consists of a regular man's sweater and skirt, a men's ser-fashion, with a panel in front which claps on each of the trouser legs, and can be quickly loosened when the wearer is in the water. Somewhat wider skirt trousers come without the panel. They are intended to be worn with long tights or with the combination garment which many women wear in the water under the bathing suit. PULLS THE PYTHON'S TEETH Three Are Extracted to Relieve Sufferer of Huge New York Zoo Shrimp. New York.—The 13-foot African python in the snake cage of the Central Park menagerie recently developed a swelling on one side of its head. By Director Smith's order an examination of the serpent's mouth was made. A keeper opened the jaws with a stick and Keeper Burns looked into the mouth to get a line on the swell. A Pulling the Python's Teeth. ing. He reported a gumball on the right side of the jaw. The boll, in his opium, was caused by decayed teeth and it was decided that to cure the trouble it was necessary to do some tooth pulling. A pair of pincers was obtained and burns got a grip on one of the needlelike teeth and yanked it out. The python didn't like the experience and wriggled his tail loose and lashed about. There was a brief struggle until Snyder secured a fresh hold of the tail and kept the patient quiet. Three more teeth were extracted and then the keeper dentist lanced the boll and washed the wounded parts with antiseptic fluid. Crowless Booster Hla Alm Kansas City, Mo.—If F. I. Welborn of this city succeeds in his latest plan, late sleepers will also up to call him blessed, for nothing less now than a croweless rooster is Mr. Welborn's aim. Already he has produced an almost wingless chicken which is guaranteed to stay at home. Something New In Suicides Groves Agnew, C.I.-Pat Teeling attempted toate the state hospital for the insane, adopted a novel method of killing himself this week. He climbed to the top of a 65-foot smoke stack and jumped down inside the stack. PRESIDENTIAL --- The Volunteer Workers' club held its weekly meeting at the home of its corresponding secretary, Mrs. Sarah H. Manks, 3318 Wabash avenue, Wednesday, June 7. The volunteers are very grateful to their friends for the success of their May musical. They are preparing to entertain their young friends at a lawn fete June 16 at the residence of Mrs. Laurella Chandler, 6553 Rhodes avenue. Mrs. C. Johnson, president; Mrs. M. Bish, secretary. Mrs. M. Crowell's beauty shop has removed from 32d street to 3142 State street. Mr. J. A.

Primitive Burmese Customs In Burmah girls are privileged to do the wooling and men must always wait for them to take the initiative. Courtship and marriage are very simple in Burmah.

When Oatmeal Was Canned When the collar of a grocery store at Franklin, N. I., was being cleaned out recently a can of cooked outcured was found. The can had probably been in the collar for 20 years, but the contents were found to be in perfect condition. Outcured was canned like peas and other vegetables some years ago, before the advent of the present day partially cooked dry cereals. Originality. Strictly speaking, it is impossible, of course, to be original.

ANCIENT QUARREL IS OVER Two Old Sardinian Families Publicly End Feud That Had Lasted for Centuries. A ceremony the like of which had not been seen for centuries has just taken place in Sardinia, the cradle of the Italian vendetta. It was a solemn public reconciliation of two ancient families, the Orechbital and the Cardi, who had been in feud since the middle ages. A dispute over a question of family honor between these widely ramified houses has led to countless acts of vengeance and those who shirked fighting had to take refuge abroad. In 1844 a reconciliation committee was formed by the bishops of Tempio and Ozleri, the prefect and the commander of the carabinieri and many other captains of the island, but it effected nothing. It may be that even the Italian vendetta is influenced by modern notions; at all events a solemn reconciliation of the families has been effected before the bishops in the cathedral of Santa Teresa. The present heads of the two families, Advocato Oreccioni and Cavalleri Cardi, publicly embraced amid cheers from thousands of Sardinian threats. From all parts of the island came congratulatory messages. To break this peace would be in the eyes of the people an act of sacrilege. DIPLOMACY IN THE HOTEL Some People Might Call It Lying, but the Guide says Quite Right. Sattfaird "Sometimes it is an awkward matter to get a temporary tenant out of a suite that has been promised for a certain day," a hotel manager said, "and you have to use diplomacy in such a case. Occasionally lying is necessary. "A man from San Francisco came to us in the busy season and the only thing we could do for him was to detach a room with bath from a suite that was promised for the next day. He was to stay over only one night, anyhow, we understood. But he did not leave and the family we expected came in. I was in a quaranty, but as the San Francisco was downtown I had his clothes and baggage moved out to a room upstairs that fortunately fell vacant. When he came in I thought for a moment and then I said: "I am sorry, Mr. X, but I have had to move your things out of that room." "Why was that? he demanded, flaring up." "We discovered that the ceiling was leaking." "Good gracious! My clothes didn't get wet, did they?" he demanded. "He was much relieved when I assured him that they didn't; so much so that he made no kick at all."—New York Sun. Trade Is Generally Brisk.

In Speaking, the Famous French Actress Had a Compass of Two Full Octaves. A Prussian prince, a cousin of the German Emperor William L, has left some curious notes upon Rachel, of whom he was a great admirer. These have been quoted in a lecture upon the famous actress. The prince studied her elocation from a musical standpoint and took down notes of her voice as she delivered some of her most effective speeches. He found, for instance, that in a passage of Rachel's "Bajazet" she went down to F in the bass. In one of "Andromaque" and another of "Adrienne Lecouvreur" her voice spoke a word on the upper E₄ and uttered a cry on upper F sharp. Her speaking voice thus had a compass of two full octaves. But, as a rule, he observed that she used only seven notes, consisting of the first seven ascending notes from the bass of the scale of F sharp minor, but with the D sharpened. It would be curious to know—but the prince does not seem to have asserted—whether this musical notation of Rachel's speaking voice is rigorous and invariable, and it would be worth a musicalian's while to apply the same study to some contemporary actors and actresses. BUILT A KITCHEN CABINET Handy Man Worked at It Sundays, but Forgot to Measure the Stairway. He is the meat man in a street grocery. Besides being handy at trimming s ribs with a safety razor he is also an adept with carpenter's tools. About a year ago he decided to build a kitchen cabinet for his wife. He chose the basement as the place of construction, ordered a lot of number and other accessories and went to work. The only time he had to give to the kitchen cabinet cause was on Sunday, as he had to work early and late during the week. He closed all hasement windows tightly in order to muffle all the noise he made with saws and hammers. He even had a set of signals arranged with his wife that she was to stamp on the floor when the minister or some plous friend was passing. Sunday after Sunday he told away on the kitchen cabinet, picturing in his mind how pretty and how useful it would be in the kitchen. Finally the cabinet was funded and the builder asked two or three of the boys at the store to drop over on Sunday morning and help him carry it upstairs. The boys, anxious to see the product of so many days of toll, accepted the invitation and went over. It was a Jim Dandy kitchen cabinet. It was the best ever—even better than the store kind. "Well, boys, let's hike upstairs with it," said Fritz, the cabinet constructor. The boys took hold, tilted it and started for the stairway. Fritz granced. The boys smothered a laugh. It was nine inches too wide for the stairway. The cabinet has departed this life via the furnace. It is unlikely that Fritz will build another. More than a dozen birds, including an owl, wren, thrushes and chafinches, alighted exhausted on the deck of the steamer Caledonia, bound from Manchester to Boston. All except two chaffinches died immediately. They had, it is believed, been blown out to sea by a gale. Daily Work of Rubber Gatherer.

John Titus, the Philadelphia right fielder, is using a bat that has some history connected with it. In 1894 Captain Anson discovered a piece of timber that he considered ideal wood for a baseball bat and he proceeded to have it turned into a cudgel. Anson in his day merely had to swing it and the ball would go to the fence. It is so heavy, however, that many an ordinary player would hardly care to handle it. When Pop Anson retired from the game he retained this great stick as a treasure. At last when the former star's belongings went under the hammer, Pat Moran purchased this bat, and when Pop Anson the Cubs he bridged Philadelphia. Titus Moran consented to bat. His first hit the fence of Louis. Titus has saintly ever since session of Pop's o BOOST FOR "RUBE" WADDELL Lajole Says Eccentric Southpaw, Now With Minneapolis, Is Fast Enough for Big League. Larry Lajole believes that Rubo Waddell, the eccentric dancer actor, still has the ability to travel in fast company. Nap says that the fact that the Rubo is with Joe Cantillon this season will make him a big winner. According to Lajole, there is only one man in this wide world who can handle Waddell right, and that man is the present manager of the Minnesota American Association club. "Cantillon will let Waddell have a free rein," says Lajole. "He won't issue my orders, but he will put it up to Rubo entirely. I expect that the Rubo will pull off a select series of his copyrighted stunts again this year, but I wouldn't surprise if he pitched fully five games for Cantillon. I know both of them well, and, believe me, they make a good combination. "Waddell is far from the has been JIM "Rube" Waddell. stage. He still possesses the stuff, and it only remains for someone to get it out of him. Joe is the one to do it." "Jigga" Donohue, former first baseman of the Chicago American league team, has been signed as manager of the Galveston league club. Art of Letter Opening. Secret service agents of certain of the foreign offices and police departments of foreign countries have raised letter opening to a fine art. Some kinds of paper can be steamed open without leaving any trace, and this simple operation is followed by reburnishing the flap with a bone instrument. In the case of a soal a matrix is taken by means of new brand before breaking the wax. When other methods fall the envelope is placed between pieces of wood, with but, and when Pat was bought from the Cubs he brought it to Philadelphia. Titus coaxed, and finally Moran consented to let him have the but. His first hit was a homo run over the fence off Bob Harmon of St. Louis. Titus has ever been batting consistently ever since he came into possession of Pop's old smusher. Big Salary for La Crosse. Bull players get fancy salaries, but they are not the only ones. Neway Landonde will draw down nearly $4,000 this season for playing La Crosse with the Vancouver team. Scattering Notes of the Diamond Cub third baseman Doyle looks like a merry clouter. Charley Hall is proving the ready rescuer of the Red Sox. It will be about a month before games are won or lost by one or two blits. It is no particular honor to bat only 3,00 nowadays. To be a star a player must bat about 500. San Francisco and Portland are having a great fight for the honors in the Pacific Coast league. Grover Cleveland Alexander is the full name of the young pitching phenom, who has been helping the Phillies keep in front.

Tener of Pennsylvania, the former Chicago National league, is putting in much of his official time around Philadelphia, and likes to see the games. Manager McGraw has given orders none of his players can play with semi-professional teams around New York this year on Sundays. The Giant players have been picking up some easy money every year that way. In the law suit between the owners of the Boston station club it was testified that the directors "are called upon hourly to decide such questions as who shall play on the team and in what order they shall bat." Of course Boston is at the tail end. Lewis Drucke, pitcher for the New York street railway corporation for $25,000 damages, claiming his arm had been injured in an accident and the same week he pitches and wins a game of ball with that same helpless arm. They call baseball the "national" game in the States, but at that it is more of a public institution in Canada. In one of the cities of the Canadian league the city board of public works had the work of making the grounds done at public expense.

GILBERT SHOOTS BIRD THAT REPEATEDLY SWOOPS DOWN ON THROBBING MACHINE. Alasqua, Spain.—Aviator Gilbert, after a battle with an eagle at a height of four thousand feet, landed hero second in the Paris-Madrid race for $20,000. In his flight over the Cantabrian mountains, while soaring at a lofty height, a monster gray eagle attacked Gilbert, swooping down on the aeroplane and heating the aviator with beak and talons. Gilbert's aeroplane required all his attention because of treachacious air currents over the mountains. The ma- A Eagle Attacks Aviator. chine was at a height of 4,000 feet, with the country lying dim beneath. The great bird circled round and round the acrobacle, evidently thinking it a new and monster member of the bird family. Finally Gilbert managed to draw his revolver and fired two shots at the eagle, driving it off. When the aviator landed here he declared the nerial battle with the giant bird had given him the most exciting moments of his career. At one time the eagle attacked him so fiercely, he said, that the aviator had to take his hands off the levers and momentarily lost control of the machine. It was at this time that the intrepid almanar drew his revolver. The first shot went wild, and frightened the bird, and the second struck it. Gilbert regained control of his machine just in time to keep it from crushing to the ground. NAILS TALKING GIRL TO CHAIR Unusual Kind of Assault and Battery Charged Against New Jersey Man. New York.—John Eddings, the odd job man of Prospect Park horough, N. J., is awaiting trial on a charge of assault and battery, but it is such an unusual kind of assault and battery his fame in that section will not be dimmed for many a day. Miss Barbara Baehtold, Eddings' sister-in-law, is only fifteen years old, but she talks twice too much for a person of that age, according to Eddings, who did not hesitate to tell her so when he came home from work with his hammer and nails and saw.

Philadelphia.-Accosted by tramps in a small strip of woods in Gernantown, Thomas Jones of Frankfort was robbed of every particle of clothing he wore and left in the woods by the vagrats, who escaped. Jones, not knowing any of the immediate neighbors and living at a distance from the scene of the robbery, climbed into a tree to wait for some chance passer. He rehalled in the tree all day, suffering greatly from cold, fatigue and hunger, besides being tortured by a swarm of bees which had built a bivale in a dead limb. Must Kiss Wife Once a Day. Atlanta, Ga.—Because her husband refused to see her upturned lips ready for a kiss, Mrs. T. K. White had him arrested and brought before Judge Orr on a charge of mistreatment and abuse. The judge instructed the husband to give her at least one kiss a day, while a few thrown in for good measure, he said, would not be out of the way. ```markdown ``` "HE WHO TRUSTS to luck will not be lucky.

A devoted leader of the suffrage cause sometimes illustrates a possible point by the story of a little country boy set to picking early strawberries for the family table with the strict injunction: "Now, I want to hear a steady whistle coming from the patch all the while you are at work." At supper time the strawberries were portioned out, and the smiling boy received an extra share. His little sister thereupon protested that she should be served as liberally as her brother. "But Willie picked the berries," she was gently reminded. "You didn't help to pick them, did you, dear?" "No," was the unexpected answer, "but I whistled while Willie did!" The Universal Pet Everybody must have a pet. If you haven't a baby, you must at least own a dog. If it isn't a dog, it may be a cat or a kitten. In other lands it may be a monkey. I have even known of those who have alligators as pets—little ones, of course. Perhaps this explains why, on a single Sunday, 40,000 men, women and children, principally children, will flock into the Zoological garden at Ironx park in the northern part of New York city. This may explain, too, why, in a single calendar year nearly one million and a half visitors at the park take time—and do it with pleasure—to visit what is known as the finest zoological exhibit as well as the largest in the world—Harriet Quinby, in Lestle's.

FOR BUSINESS & BLACK ORS Derivation of Word "Caucus." As to the origin of the word "caucus" there is much diversity of opinion. It has been traced to a North American Indian word "kaw-kaw-kaw," meaning to talk, give advice or instigate, whence cune "caucorse," a chief. More often, however, it is explained, as English, a corporation of "calkers" meeting, and here again there is a variety of choice. One version tells of meetings of the Boston dockyard calkers to elect delegates to represent their grievances against the English soldiers. Another makes it a term of proprobtion, "calkers" standing for humble folk generally. A third explains that it was in a calkers' meeting place that the Boston politicians assembled. Churchgoers Near Papic An extraordinary panic occurred recently in St. Woolas church, Newport, Monmouthshire, England, when, during the rendering of a sacred cantata by the choir, the electric light suddenly failed and the building was plunged in darkness. The startled singers were silent. Then women screamed with alarm, and made for the doors. A serious panic seemed likely, though the vicar assured the congregation that all would be right within a few minutes. The fears of the people were finally quieted by the choir beginning to sing again through the darkness the old hymn, "Abereystwyth." Meanwhile churchwardens groped their way to the emergency gas burners, and gradually one by one lights sprang into brightness, and the service was quietly resumed.

Just when Mrs. Ackroyd had finished packing her trunks and after William had bought railway tickets for her and their two daughters little Bessie came down with a severe case of whooping cough. The doctor positively refused to let the child start on a long journey, and even if he had thought it safe for the little one to leave home he assured Mrs. Ackroyd that she would not be permitted to take the patient into a hotel anywhere. "Isn't it a shame!" the distressed lady wailed. "Here we are with everything in our trunks and my husband has even bought our berths in the steeper." "It is unfortunate, but I don't know what you can do except sit down and wait for four or five days. It may be safe for you then to start away." "Don't take it so hard, dear," he said. "It might be a good deal worse. Our little one is likely to get along all right. The doctor says the case isn't an unusually severe one, and when I telephoned him this afternoon he said he thought it might be safe for you to start away by the end of the week." "I know. He told me the same thing. But I feel that we'll never go. I never postponed anything yet that didn't turn out sadly. I once postponed a wedding and the marriage never took place." Halt an hour later William Ackroyd was still sitting in a corner, thinking it over. Coating the Pill. There is an obliquo way of reproof which takes off from the sharpness of it. Steelo . SOCIETY Its Clubs and Business Interests are Beginning to Wake Up. The Long Waited for Hotel has Appeared, but There are Many More Things to Learn and Do Before We Can Catch up with Chicago. 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. Abrams. By Special Correspondent of Chicago Defender. South Bend, Ind., June 9.—Through the columns of The Chicago Defender the business men and all good men are trying to get the citizens to work more for one another. They realize the way to do is to keep abreast with what the other fellow men are doing and the way to do that is to read more and advertise his business. The only way to be successful is to keep our business before the people. We have some well educated, talented men among us, but at that we are far behind cities that are not as large as ours. What we need is leaders, men that can give advice, men that can be the equal of our white brothers. The way for us to do is to pull together. Not when one starts in business not to patronize him, but go and help him, making his place of business large enough to hire our sons and daughters and bring more business to our city. Trusting you will continue to read The Defender, the paper that is outspoken for the colored race, by Alfred W. Abrams, McGoy-Bruce Nuptials. A wealth of color and original and elaborate detail marked the ceremony attendant upon the marriage of Miss Elva Jeanette Bruce, daughter of Mr. Simeon Bruce, 228 South Laurel street, and son of Mrs. Bette McGoy, 49 West 35th street, Chicago, IL, which was solemnized June 1 at 8:30 o'clock p. m. at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. A. W. Abrams, 228 South Laurel street, Rev. Joseph M. Evans officiating. A graceful arrangement of palms formed the simple decorations of the home. Mendelssohn's wedding march was played by Miss Georgia May Ward, and the bridal party entered through an alse formed by white satin ribbon stretched by Mrs. Bain Ashbrook and Mrs. Clarence Lamont, both ladies residing in South Bend, Ind. Mrs. Emma Hines attended as maid of honor, also a resident of South Bend. The bride, who entered on the arm of her father, wore a gown of creation of white net over white silk, with empire corsage and sleeves of rose point lace. Her full tulle veil was caught up with pearls. She carried a bouquet of Swansonta blossoms. The groom entered from the vestry at the right of the palms, attired in full dress suit made of German broadcloth. During the ceremony the strains of "The Flower Song" were faintly played also by Miss Georgin May Ward. One hundred guests were entertained with a reception by one of the best colored leading ladies in the city of South Bend, in person of Mrs. Jennie Anderson, 217 West Napier street. Among the guests from out of the city were the following: Mrs. Bette McGoy, mother of the groom, Mrs. Delta Curtiss, sister of the groom, both of Chicago, IL.; Mrs. Johnson and sister, Miss Stilts, both of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Edward Curtiss of Niles, M.; Miss Daisy Bland of Indianapolis, Ind.; Misses Hazel and Marie Johnson of Mishawaka, Ind.; Miss Ella Bragg of Benton Harbor, Mich., and Mr. Louise Hoggett of Benton Harbor, Mich. The many valuable presents were received by Mrs. Edward Curtiss of Niles. Mich., bespeaking the popularity of the bride, saying nothing of showers, three being tendered her. Immediately after the reception Mr. and Mrs. McGoy left for an extended trip through the north. After Sept. 1, at home to friends at 49 West 35th street, Chicago. The first annual picnic will be given Thursday, June 15th, at Michigan City, Ind., The Tribes Building committee of Olivet A. M. E. church cordially invite everybody to join them on this occasion and help make it the greatest success the tribes have ever witnessed since they were organized. We are raising funds for the erection of a new office. We will appreciate your presence and the Lord will throw showers of blessings around you. Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Granville, formerly of Chicago but now residents of South Bend, left Tuesday for Atlantic City, to be gone for the summer. They were a highly esteemed couple of South Benders. We wish them a pleasant and a happy stay while in the coast city. Mr. Harry Walters, editor of the Danville Leader, formerly of South Bend, is in the town for an unlimited stay. Since The Defender has been sold in our midst we are pleased to add to our list another business man in the person of Mr. Robert Sanders, business being generally delivery, Bell phone 2193. South Bend is blessed with three colored churches. The A. M. E. Zion church on the East Side and the Mt. Zion Baptist church on North Birddell street, and the Olivet A. M. E. church. Each pulpit has the right man in the right place. Hear them. The funeral of Mrs. Martha Smith was held Tuesday from Mt. Zion Baptist church, Rev. Ece officiating. Rev. Morloy, of Benton Harbor, Mich., was in the city Monday, guest of Rev. J. M. Evans, on route to Lansing, Mich. to be in attendance at the District Conference. Mr. John Robinson of Thomasville, On., was in our city last Monday. After an extended trip through the South for his health, Mr. Andrew Randolph has returned in our midst, looking the picture of health. He is anticipating the arrival of his little family soon. Mr. and Mrs. Bain Asbrook spent Sunday with friends in Niles, Mich., hunting a cool spot. A PRETTY WEDDING At the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Cotton, on Monday evening, the 5th of June, Mr. W. Tyler and Miss Ophella Crothers were joined in the holy bond of maternity by the Rev. Dr. Martin, of Bethesda Church. The bride was given away by Mr. G. W. Crothers, Miss Carlo Cook being maid of honor and Mr. John W. Addison being best man. Miss Jannita Coffen was ring girl and the Misses Grace Johnson and Consola Hunt flower girls. As Miss Cotton brought forth Mendelssohn's wedding march, the many friends assembled and witnessed the union of two loving hearts. After many hearty congratulations, Miss Marguerite Brown sang (I Trovatore), and Miss Consola Hunt "dreaming of You," after which the guests were ushered into the dining room, which was superintended by Mrs. Edw. A. Odum, who had provided a very sumptuous repast that the many friends cannot soon forget. The bride was attired in a cream colored creation with much lace, with sufficient jewels to have a very beautifying effect, carrying a hugo bouquet of sweet peas. After the reception the many guests accompanied the bride and groom to a waiting automobile, which conveyed them to their cozy home, 5229 Wabnsh avenue, where they will receive Sunday, June 11, from 2 to 4 p. m. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Cotton, Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Howard, Mr. and Mrs. King, Mr. and Mrs. Hardug, Mr. and Mrs. Clark, Mr. and Mrs. Stokes, Mr. and Mrs. Jefries, Mrs. Cook, Mr. and Mrs. Elegan, Mr. and Mrs. Peggs, Mr. and Mrs. Cook, Mr. and Mrs. Richardson, Mr. and Mrs. Simms, Mr. and Mrs. Tuesley. GREATEST MAN IN THE CITY How Sherlock Holmes Knew Important Individual Was Brought Up In the Country. "Hah!" exclaimed Sherlock Holmes, Jr. "Very well, Sherl," said Dr. Wattson, "If you wish it I will hah! But what is the occasion for hating?" "Have you noticed that man with the grayish hair and the important manner?" "Of course. I could not very well help doing so. He would attract attention anywhere." "He was born in the country and spent his boyhood either on a farm or in a small town." "What is his name?" "I don't know." "If you don't know his name, how have you found out that he was once a country boy? There is no hayseed in his hair, and I can see nothing about him to indicate that he has not always been used to city ways." "Of course you can't. 'There can't anything of that kind about him. But didn't you hear that man who pointed him out a moment ago say he was the greatest man in this great city?' "Ah, Sherlock, they can't beat you as a deuterer. Since you explain it the whole thing as as plain as day." Natural Indignation A cautious German, who keeps a pawnbroker's shop in Sydney, is in the habit of leaving his daughter in charge while he attends sales to pick up bargains. A Chihuahua offered the store the other day to buy a watch. The girl placed four on the counter, and, while her back was turned, John changed the places of the highest and lowest price watches. He then said he would take the cheapest one, for which he paid and departed. It was not until he was clear away that she discovered the fraud, about which, on her father's return, she told him with many tears, "Never mind, never mind, mime tear," he said; "dose watches was all de same price. But vat a secondral dot Shihannon must pe, don't he?" Josh Bitlings. The quant spelling that helped to make "Josh Hillings" famous was natural to him. "Josh" was not an educated man in the academic sense, and was a poor speller to the last. When he started out in the humorous line he observed that the way in which he put together his words—a style that he followed simply because he know no other—tickled the people and helped to sell his writings, and like the wise, sensible man that he was, despite his literary deficiencies, he stuck to it to the end. Of course, had there not been the keenest, wit, humor and satire behind the "outlandish" spelling, he would have twisted the king's English in vain. Tall Australian Trees Australia claims to have the tallest tree in the world. It has long been thought that to California belongs this distinction, but while California trees are of gigantic dimensions they do not come up to Australia's eucalypt trees. The tallest tree in California yet discovered was found by actual measurement to be 340 feet high. Australia's record tree can beat this by 140 feet. Baron Mueller (formerly government botanist of Victoria) recently measured the giant where it grew at *illacks*' Spur, ten miles from Henlesville, and found it to be 480 feet. This tree was 81 feet in girth near the root. Ideals In Education: "The entire system of education, both here and in America, seems to require reconstruction from bottom to top; it would be well, if I may say so, if we could scrap the whole wretched academic show and start afresh, in order that it may be greatly improved in quality and shortened in duration. Two ideals should be kept in view—we should aim at the development of individuality and encourage productivity." — Professor Armstrong (Eng.) --- WILLIAM WRIGHT, The Tallor, Cleaning, Dyeing, Pressing and Repairing.

The Defender to Supplant All the Other Papers of the City—Our Correspondent Up On All the Doings of This City and We Are Sure She Will Please Those from the Home Town. By Bell Clerk. By Special Correspondent of Chicago December. Quinney, I, June 9.—The Culture club of the Elm Street church closed their club for the rest of the summer season with a very interesting program of reading, solos, and papers, and on Tuesday the club gave a trolley party and took out a large crowd. All we can see and hear lately is a new church on Tenth and Chestnut. Hurrah for Rev. Bates. Rev. J. A. Sherman leaves Friday for Pittfield, Ill., one of his charges. We must say he preached one noble sermon Sunday afternoon at Bethel church. Rev. H. Simon, presiding elder, held a quarterly meeting at Bethel Sunday. Mr. John Mosby of Springfield was in the city to attend the funeral of his uncle, George Washington. We were glad to see Mr. Ben Golden on out the trolly party Tuesday night. Mrs. Clemons entertained the Busy Bee Sowing circle of the Eighth Street church Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Kingcade of Elm street entertained the Union Sowing circle last Wednesday afternoon. The concert and drill given by the children of Wayman Chapel Sunday school under the direction of Mrs. Rev. Sherman was something very grand. Mrs. Sherman is due a great seal of credit for their success. Mr. George Washington, better known as "Uncle George" departed this life Saturday night, June 3, as the Soldiers' home after a long illness. He was born in Baltimore, Md., in 1811, a hundred years ago. He was a faithful, devoted Christian and a member of Bethel A. M. E. Church thirty-five years. His funeral was held from the church Tuesday afternoon. A large number of friends turned out to pay their last respects to uncle George. Rev. Price preached a very touching sermon, and Rev. Simons, who was his pastor for three years, spoke well of him, as did Rev. T. J. Smith of Eighth Street Church. Rev. Osborn also spoke well of him, as did Rev. J. A. Sherman and Rev. Pratt. He leaves a niece, Mrs. Geo. Moore of Quincy; a nephew, Mr. John Mosby of Springfield, and Mr. Geo. Domons of Brooklyn, N. Y. He is gone, but not forgotten. GREAT THRIFT IN BUYING Instance of the Persistent Housewife's Economy In Purchasing Half a Dozen Eggs. "Just to show you how the small economies practiced by thrifty housewives may sometimes be carried too far," began the driver of the ple wagon; "well, I see a lot of it along my route, but this happened down at the market house. My wife was scouting around among the neighbors and one of them told her that there was one stand at the market where they were selling fresh eggs for fifteen cents a dozen. So she liked right down there. The market was crowded and she had a hard time, but she pushed along till she came to a butter and egg shop, 'Eggs, sixteen cents,' the sign said, so she plunged along for the next. But eggs were sixteen cents there, too, and at the next place and the next. A little thing like that didn't lick her, though. She hunted for about a half an hour, and at last found the place she was after. The sign cheered her up a lot. "Your eggs are fifteen cents a dozen here?" she asked, just to make sure. "Yes, ma'am." "We'd, give me half a dozen." "And she lays down her eight cents and walks out satisfied with her mornings' work. She got and when I tried to tell her that half a dozen of the 16-cent eggs would've been just as cheap." The Sacred Czar. It is not only the Russian Court Journal which has a chirurgical way of referring to the czar. Even in conversation Russians never call a czar a czar. It is not incorrect to use the terms czar, czaritza and czarovitch, but in practice they are heard only in the Liturgy of the Orthodox church and sometimes from the lips of people of revolutionary views. In ordinary conversation the czar is called Gosudor, a word which means Lord or Sir. In the Court Circulate it is the practice to term the Sovereign Gosudar Imperator, the Lord Emperor. Nobody ever speaks of the czarilisa; she is always Gosudarinya, the Lady, or Gosudarinya Imperatritza, the Lady Empress. Glad to Be Himself Humperdinck does not take himself seriously at all; his humor is mainly leveled at himself. To the question, "Did you always wish to be a composer?" he retorted quickly: "Yes. At first I thought I should be a second Beethoven; presently I found that to be another Schubert would be good; later, I would have been content to be a Lortzing—then gradually satisfied with less and less I was designed to be a Humperdinck—Alnicea's Magazine.

THE NEW YORKER Grand Stairway, North-Western Station Interesting Happenings from Nearby Towns. A GOOD LESSON. At All Who Wish to Keep Abreast with the Society News Watch this Column. Special Correspondent of Chicago Dancer Loxington, Mo., June 9.—The closing exercises given by the Douglass placed public school last Tuesday night, May 30, was well attended. The ouse was packed by a large crowd of copoil. The Zabo patriotic drill, ren- ced by Miss A. M. Collins, was well performed, also the drills by the four other teachers were well performed. The six graduates spoke with a very beating manner and everything was arrived out to the very highest. It is said that our sweet soprano singer, Miss Eva Mayo Hunter, had the au- dence puzzled while singing some of her most charming and beautiful songs, also the rosy checked Miss Maggie McGrew Noodson rendered some excellent music. The oratorio by Misses Smith, Jackson, Hayden, Hunter, Hicklin and Woodson was all very pleasing, and these young ladies spoke well. Each of them received many beautiful presents. Presentation of diplomas were given by Prof. 1 H. T. Allen of Lincoln institute, Jefferson City, Mo. Prof. Allen also delivered a very pleasing address to the graduates and audience which was received with many cheers. Lexington should feel proud to know that she has six such people as Prof. G. H. Green, Misses S. A. Graham, M. Johnson, G. R. Hawkins, A. M. Collins and R. McGee to teach and instruct our boys and girls to be men and women and true honest citizens. It is hoped that the six graduates will make use of their education and be of some credit to the race. Go out into the world and do something for the uplift of a downrodden race. We need men and women who are willing to do something besides loaf around on the streets, etc. The program us vendered is printed below: Douglas School, May 30, 1911, 8 P. M., Invocation, Rev. G. G.

Roy L. H. Allen pastor. Notice. Next week a printed statement will be published in this paper showing who gave Mr. John H. Arnold the rights and permission to have the news of Lexington, Mo., published in the Chicago Defender. This statement will be signed by the editor and his staff, also by the lawyers and citizens of Lexington, Mo., only by the white people of Lexington and Chicago, Ill. Any one who knows the reporter of Lexington can sign his or her name to the printed statement. No person who does not know the reporter will be allowed to sign this statement. No news from Lexington will be published unless it is signed by our correspondent, J. H. Arnold. (Notice.) Miss E. M. H. Is All Right. I want it strictly understood that I will not have anything published con- cerning Miss Eva M. Hunter that is not true. I think the five persons who have written me letters concerning Miss Hunter are badly mistaken about what they said. Miss Hunter is a lady and not a big dune, as some people think she is. Some day Miss Hunter will prove to the world that she is all she claims to be. It seems strange that some people can never tell the truth. Miss Hunter is a young lady that everybody loves and respects. Her manners and principles and character are all that could be expected of her, and I must say that we need many more such young ladies in Lexington as Miss Eva May Hunter. As a Christian young lady Miss Hunter has no equal. She is always busy trying to do something for the uplift of the Negro race. There is not a young lady in all Lexington that stands any higher in the race and community than Miss Eva M. Hunter. Some little good-for-nothing monkeys were trying to insult the reporter by sending him lies to have published about Miss Hunter. I want to say right here that these five monkeys haven't as much sense in their heads as a donkey has. I never will disgrace or try to abuse Miss Hunter's fair name, and I want the entire world to know that our dear beloved friend whose name is Miss Eva May Hunter is one of Lexington's sweetest, charming, highly respected young ladies we have in our city. As a songster her sweet voice is just extraordinarily fine and she is not a street looper like many of our young ladies are. She is friendly, also kind hearted with every --- Chicago and North-Western Railway, Railway, Madison Street Entrance. HARD TIMES FOR DOCTORS stood that Mr. L. S. kicked the door open and Mr. Wm. H. knocked him down. The noise disturbed the people in the restaurant, so Mr. W. S. P. and Wm. Williams went upstairs and stopped the fight. In doing so somebody struck Williams a few raps. It is said that Mr. Wm. H. went home with his shirt all torn to pieces. If this is not true, don't blame the reporter, as he has nothing to do with it. The annual election of officers was held June 7. Every one was well pleased with the changes made and expect to do valuable work during the year. Every one felt it a hard task to give Mrs. Davis up for a while, but we know that Mrs. Wm. Fischer will make an excellent president and that Mrs. Davis will never lose her interest in us. She was given the power to solicit funds wherever she may go for the benefit of the home of which she is the founder. The club presented her a beautiful piece of hand painted china as a token of their love and esteem. She left the city Wednesday night for various points in Illinois in the interest of her state work. Remember, the treat of the season will be the automobile ride on Wednesday night, June 14. The rido begins at the home of Mrs. Denintings, 3542 Wabash avenue, and you will then attend the social party at 3226 Prairie avenue, where the music and dancing will take place. Admissions including the drive, 25 cents. Without the automobile rido, 10 cents.

I wish to say to the readers of this paper that Miss Hunter is not a young lady that keeps company with all classes of bad people; she does not keep company with bad men, either. Some people are just jealous of her because she is a good honest Christian young lady, that's all. I, John H. Arnold, will always stand up and if necessary fight for all such persons as Miss Hunter. She is the queen of Lexington, for ever may she be. Oh, that Lexington could have all such people as Miss Hunter, if we did go prison houses would be needed in our city. Now, if the five monkeys don't like what I have said about this dearly beloved young lady, why you can just kick. Miss Hunter is all right. J. H. Arnold and everybody else loves Miss Hunter and the next time any person who sends me any false news about her I will stick it in the fire or turn it over to the officers. I will not stand for any such foolishness. The articles sent to me about Miss Hunter are not true and I will not have them published. If you can't tell the truth about people please do not send me lies, as we will not publish any such stuff. Truly yours, the reporter, J. H. A. A Wreck. I have nothing to say about the wreck that took place Sunday May 28, at Mrs. Woodson's restaurant, as it doesn't concern me. If Mr. Wm, I11 is guilty of what is said of him it's all right. But I think all men should attend to their own business and let other men's wives alone. It is under- PHYLLIS WHEATLEY CLUB An Amiable Pet. The dog is the child's protector and companion. There was never a child which did not love a dog; there are few dogs who do not love children. No matter how violently he may be treated by his youthful companions, the dog takes it all in good part. He enters into the spirit of the game and seems to rejoice if he is able to be the occasion of youthful birth and laughter. Not So Bad as He Seemed A curious incident occurred at a children's matinee in a Moscow theater lately. The actor who played the villain of the piece was so distressed by the horror with which the little spectators viewed him that, notwithstanding the protests of the manager, he pulled off his wig and false beard, and begged the audience to believe that he was only pretending to be wicked. One rocked the boat, one didn't know the gun was loaded, one touched his cigar to a celluloid collar; but the chieftain of them played poker in a gentleman's game—Judge. PROVIDENT HOSPITAL SEND OUT NINE GRADUATES. Grace Presbyterian church was crowded to its doors on Thursday evening by friends of the hospital and nurses to see them graduate. After a thoroughly entertaining program the following young ladies received their diplomas: Graduates, class 1911—Motto: For the present faithfulness, for the future hopefulness, in the end blessedness. Myrtle Arbuckle, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa; Ellen Sykes, Columbus; Miss. Luentza Thomas, Frankfort, Ky.; Charlotte Thompson, Little Rock, Ark.; Pearl S. Duncan, Omaha, Neb.; Anna M. McLouden, Omaha, Neb.; Sophronia McCall, Austin, Texas; Ophella Wilson, Rockville, Ind.; Ellen M. Thomas, New Rochelle, N.Y. Business Methods In Charity Charitable associations in Frankfort, Germany, operate lodging houses, restaurants, eating rooms, canteens for the benefit of the poor, says the Pitilburg Dispatch. They are conducted on strictly business methods. Dinner—soup, meat, vegetables—is provided for a fraction more than eight cents. Until the recent increase in prices for foodstuffs the meal was given for less than eight cents. Lodging is provided at from thirty-eight to sixty cents a week. England's Cheese Production England's Cheese Production. Owing to the growing demand in England for soft cheeses, a Yorkshire agricultural college has issued leaflets to encourage farmers to 1. cheeses of the types of Camembert, Brie, Pont Pleque and Gervais, as made in France. Their Fees Were Small in Babylon and Failure to Cure Meant Torture. Babylonian surgeons four thousand years ago had not the easy time of their modern colleagues. The French archaeological commission has just discovered there a tablet containing some interesting facts about the Babylonian Bob Sawyer. For all operations "performed with a knife" patients were to pay twelve silver shields, which is about $3.75 of American money. A broken leg or arm must be set for $2, and teeth were drawn at the uniform rate of seventy-five cents. All the same, this must have been pretty good pay for the time, because the tablet in question goes on to enumerate the punishment met out to surgeons who made professional mistakes. These would appeal even less to the modern medical man than the low fees. When an operation caused the death of a patient the unfortunate surgeon had both his hands cut off; and when he did not cure his patient in reasonably quick time, the tablet tells us that his fee was confiscated by the government. It does not mention what was considered a reasonable time for healing. Borrowed Bridal Finery In Norway every parish house has a set of ornaments for the temporary use of the bride, including a showy coronal and girdle, so that the poorest women in the land appeared for one day in their life in a costume which they probably thought equal to that of a queen. The museum of national antiquities at Copenhagen contains a number of such sets of bridal decorations, which were at one time used in Denmark. Don't Believe It. A French traveler who has been in the elephant country of Africa says that when an elephant has the toothache another elephant makes a loop in a vine and acts as dentist to pull the tooth. Don't you believe anything of the kind. He tells him to go over to the nearest railroad and lot a freight train knock it out. They Classify Travelers Travelers in Wyoming are classified as "dudes," "sage brushes" or "rough necks." Anyone who travels or hunts with a guido is a "dude," no matter how rough or unkempt his personal appearance.

Texas reaches from snow to summer, from snow to strawberries, from leccles to ice cream, from skates to julops. Because a train became stalled by snow in one part of Texas, do not forget that on the same day wanderers from the frozen north were eating strawberry shortcake and cream at five a throw and yard eggs at fifteen a dozen in heavenly Houston.—Houston Post. About Peas. I planted beans expecting peas to blossom there in May; the funny papers have a wheeze that things turn out that way. But where I planted beans, I find that only beans have grown. There is no doubt that things turn out sometimes as they are sown—Washington Herald. Considerable Hallbut A halibut caught recently in Thurso bay measured seven and onehalf feet long and over three feet broad, and welled over two hundred and fifty pounds. It was far the biggest fish caught off the north of Scotland for many years, and was sold for over £4. Too Joyous A grocer in Charlotte, Mitch, put a can of beans in his window and offered a pair of roller skates to the one who could guess the exact number. A bad named Willis Ifnes hit it exactly and got the skates, but he felt so clated over him good luck that he fell dead on his way home. The doctor said it was a case of being too joyous. If the boy had got a liking instead of the skates he had would have lived on. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or graphics.

An un-American Japanese auction is a kind of Oriental prayer meeting. People do not exactly wait for the spirit to move them before making a bid, but they go about as silently as if meditating in a Lenten retreat. Nobody has anything to say, or if he has he exercises a powerful restraint over his emotions and refrains from saying it. Even the auctioneer holds his tongue. Every article that he offers for sale is simply held up for inspection. The wondrous vocabulary with which Occidental auctioners proclaim the merits of their wares has no place in a Japanese auction room, the dramatic thrill of "going, going, gone" is never felt. Purchasers write their bids on a slip of paper and send it up by a page. There is no hurry. Everybody has time to count his change and make up his mind how much he can afford to pay. When the blids are all in the auctioneer coolly turns over the article to the clerk with the highest bidder's offer and takes up the next thing on the list. Unless people wish to talk afterward nobody will ever know what anybody else bid, not even the price paid by the successful bidder. Placing the Blame A girl like years old at Bremen, Germany, swallowed 40 pins and thus killed herself. For two weeks no one could think of any reason why she should have done it, and then some one said that it was because she had attended a moving picture show, and the proprietor of the place was arrested and fined $25. If the girl's father had swallowed a flatiron and died they would probably have sent the mayor of the city to fall. His Last Request. Two men were to be hanged for horsestealing. The place selected was the middle of a trestle bridge spanning a river. The rope was not securely tied on the first victim to be dropped, and the knot slipped; the man fell into the river and immediately swam for the shore. As they were adjusting the rope on the second he remarked: "Say, will you be sure and that good and tight, cause I can't swim." Unique Lighthouse Lighthouse keeping from the main land is possible in the case of a new light house on the coast of Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands. The light house contains a powerful fog siren, as well as an acetylene light, and the lighthouse keepers are stationed at the electrical plant on the shore, more than a mile distant.

The burglars had chosen a hollow log as a safe and innocent-looking "bank" for the loot; but while two young farmers were rabbit hunting, a rabbit took refuge in the fallen tree, and in the effort to dislodge the little animal the hunters discovered the treasure. Meanness of Conservatism There is always a certain meanings in the argument of conservatism, joined with a certain superiority in its fact. It admisses because it holds. Its fingers clutch the fact, and it will not open its eyes to see a better fact. The castle which conservatism is set to defend is the actual state of things, good and bad. The project of innovation is the best possible state of things.—Emerson. An Old Maine Bear Tran T. B. P. Bates of Oakland has a bear trap made by a Lubee blacksmith in 1787 to catch bears.

Webster's Most Profitable Book Wesley's most profitable book, "Noah Webster," says the book of copyrights, "probably got more-for his spelling book than was ever paid for any other book in the United States. We are unable to state the entire sum that was paid him for the copyright of that little book, but think it must have been more than $50,000. His large dictionary, a work on which he spent the greatest part of his life, did not yield him a tenth part of the profits of his spelling book." Are These Your Selections? According to a committee chosen by the Providence Evening News, the ten most beautiful words in the English language are melody, love, love, home, sublime, joy, peace, gentle, life, friendship.

Second Baptist Church Second Baptist Church. The topic which was discussed by the Missionary society last Sunday evening was an important one. The topic was: "An I Doing God's Work Systematically or Spasmodically?" If this question is asked prayerfully, it will certainly put Christian people to thinking. That our efforts are generally of the spasmodic nature cannot be disputed. Our Christian work should be carefully, thoughtfully, and prayerfully planned and then faithfully executed. The trustees decided to have a trustee rally on the fourth Sunday in this month. It will be conducted on the subscription plan. Each member is urged to subscribe to said fund as liberally as possible. One of the trustees will present the matter to the church. This movement on the part of the trustees should be endorsed by the church. Rev, H. E. McWilliams enjoyed his stay among us. He impressed us as being an earnest gospel preacher. In company with the pastor and wife he dined with Rev, and Mrs. Chiles on Friday evening and on Sunday with Mrs. Howell Watt. The members of the Missionary society seemed rather glad to get together again. Twenty-three were present. Rev, H. E. McWilliams addressed the society. His remarks were enjoyed. His words were words of wisdom and encouragement. Mrs. Minnie Perry served. Ebenezer A. M. E. Church. The ladies of the Eastern Star had their annual sermon preached at Ebenezer by Rev.

E. church. Mrs. Geo. Jones of Waukegan, Ill., who has been quite ill the past five months, is now residing in Evanston with her daughter, Mrs. Joo O. Jackson, 1720 Avenue street. Mrs. Frank Davenport, who has been living in Michigan the past month, is expected home this week. Mrs. Davenport is somewhat improved, which will be good news to her many friends. Card of Thanks. Mrs. J. J. Harris of 2106 wishes to thank her many friends for their kindness toward her during her late illness. Mr. John Gregory left Wednesday evening for Baltimore, Md, where he goes to spend a few weeks with relatives and friends. Mr. Richard Blunt, one of Evanson's popular young men, left Monday for a few weeks' visit with friends and relatives at Farmville, N. C. Prospective Scout Evanson can boast in a few days of being the first city to turn out a company of colored boy scouts. Commandant Edmonds is all smiles over the success that the boys are making. The people of our city are becoming more interested in these boys since seeing the white scouts drill on last Saturday night. One woman came to the Commandant Wednesday begging him to enlist her boy and offered five dollars and a half as her share towards getting the boys uniforms. We should encourage Commandant Edmonds and his boys by giving them our best support. J. T. Smith Dead. Mr. J. T. Smith, a business man of Evanson, died Saturday morning, June 3, at 6:40. For several months Mr. Smith has been suffering with T. B. C. from which he grew worse and worse till the end came. He was a "hatter" by trade and had developed a fine business at the corner of Sherman Avenue and Dempster street. He was a member of the Ebenzer A. M. E. church and a strong member of the K. P. lodge, being a member of the uniform ranks. Much praise and commendation must be given the members of the R. B. Elliott Lodge No. 36 for the way they stood by Mr. Smith. They rented a house and put this young man in it and then saw to it that he received the best of attention and the finest accommodations. They took charge of all his business, cared for him and his personal property, and at his death turned everything over to his aunt, Mrs. Bette Savage. The funeral was held Sunday at 1:30 o'clock from Ebenezer church under the management of the K. P. lodge. Mr. James T. Smith was born in Daton, Tenn., about 26 years ago. He came north and settled in Evanston about 1903. By mere application of self he succeeded in establishing one of the best hat cleaning businesses in Evanston. He leaves behind an aunt, Mrs. Bettle Savage of Pueblo, Colo., and a host of friends to mourn his loss. Interment at Rose Hill. Capt. Adam Perry the Hero. The competitive drill held at the Auditorium Thursday, June 1, between the Boy Cadets and Uniform Ranks of K. of P. was easily won by the Boy Cadets. Capt. Perry brought his men out and at every command a new movement was brought to light. The K. P's drilled well but the Boy Cadets were so good that they easily took the victory from them. The Boy Cadets have not been named yet, nor have they yet become Scouts, but it is certain that they will soon be. The company will be named after any person who contributes the largest sum of money towards this worthy cause. WALTERS A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. Cor. 38th and Dearborn Sts. Rev. H. J. Callis, Pastor.

ART OF SMILING IMPORTANT People Do Not Care to Associate With an Animated Vinegar Cruet, Says Writer. Why is it that most people, as they walk along the streets or ride in the cars have such an unpleasant expression? If one will observe even casually the people he meets in a day he will be impressed with the pained and sullen and disagreeable countenances. We live in a rush, and the average person is bent on some errand or business and is absorbed in that; we are all rushing to get something or somewhere. With this absorbing our attention we haven't time to attend to our facial expression. We are not sure, however, that this is a matter of permissible indifference. If one does not believe that his countenance adds to or detracts anything from the lives or expressions of others, let him pause for a moment before that now celebrated "Billiken." It is almost impossible to look at the little imp and not smile. The Japanese teach their mails in the hotels and those also in the higher walks of life the art of smiling. They are compelled to practice before a mirror. One cannot stay long in Japan without being inoculated with the disposition to "look pleasant." The "look pleasant, please," of the photographer goes deeper than the photograph plate. No one wants to associate long with an animated vinegar crust. A disposition is easily guessed from the angle of the corners of the mouth; a disposition is molded by compelling those angles to turn up or down. If a merry heart makek a glad countenance it is also true that a glad countenance makes a merry heart—in the one who has it and in the one who beholds. "Iron sharpeneth iron. So a bad man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend."—Baptist Commonwealth. Where Rural Schools Attract Where Rural Schools Attract. It is as true as it is strange that in Iowa many rural schools are so attractive that city boys are sent out of the city to attend the rural school. I know one country school in which there are six children from city schools. A "chicken roast" is the latest school attraction that I have known. A teacher is making the schoolhouse the center of social life for the district. She does not like the idea of having a dance in the school, and she will not have kissing fracuses, so she plans various social functions with stunts and games that abundance of life, that are new, that are harmless. She does quite a little along the line of refreshments, and everyone takes a part in the preparation as well as in disposing of the feast. The greatest success she has ever had was a chicken roast. It was in the autumn, and was in the school yard. It was a close approach to a barbecue. Every man, woman and child in the district was there.—Journal of Education. Forgotten Foods. It is well to remember that many plants which once were used as vegetables have been allowed to drop out of our bills of fare. Our forefathers, for instance, sometimes dined off elder top and burdock root, and the early shoots of the hop were considered a great delicacy and were cooked and eaten as asparagus. Walter Jerrold, in his "Highways and Byways in Kent," recalls a time when Kentish children could "tell of many pleasant hours spent among the hedges in search of the wild hop top and of the wholesome suppers made upon the well earned treasure are they learned to think their food the better for being rare and costly. ROVE ST., SHERLOCK HOLMES HAS A REAL RIVAL DETECTIVE WILLIAM J. BURNS 18 WIDELY KNOWN AS THE "NEVER FAIL." FAMOUS SECRET SERVICE MAN Gained Much Fame When He Ran Down Elusive Countertellers for Uncle Sam—For 25 Years He Has Successfully Tracked Criminals. Los Angeles, Cal.-William J. Burns, better known as "Billy" Burns to secret service operators and detectives all over the country, and whose most recent claim to fame was the arrest of the McNamara brothers and Ordo McManigal for the long series of dynamic crimes throughout the country, in an Ohio product. He was formerly cutter in a tailor shop at Columbus. Something over 30 years ago Burns earned a modest stipend as a cutter in a tailor shop at Columbus, where the uniforms for the police of that city were made. John E. Murphy was chief of police. Ho and Burns became great friends. Often when Murphy had a hard case he would talk it over with Burns. After the police had worked a week on a murder case Burns criticised the methods employed. He told Murphy the men worked on bad lines. Murphy suggested Burns try his hand and the suggestion was promptly accepted. One week later Burns landed the man and secured a confession. He was taken from the cutter's bench and made a detective, and whito he was there made his name a terror to criminals. After a short experience he went with an agency at St. Louis. Later he became connected with the United States secret service and handled with marked results a great mass of important work. William P. Hazen was chief of the branch of the treasury when Burns was called into the office during the '50s and shown an almost perfect $100 Monroe head silver A. H. William J. Burns. certificate that had been caught at the sub-treasury at Philadelphia. A few days later John E. Wilkle was made chief of the secret service and he gave Burns the work and told him to use his own methods. It required sixteen months' work, at the end of that period Burns had the two engravers, the men who circulated the bills, the plates, and over a million of the bogus notes. He had also discovered that a counterfeit equally good was almost ready to be passed. Soon after this a counterfelt silver certificate $10 bill bearing the head of Hancock, appeared at Atlanta, Ga., where the cotton exposition was under way and many were put in circulation. Burns was put on that. A line he picked up led to Kaucasia City and involved a prominent man at the live stock exchange. The man was wealthy and had been in business, known and respected for 20 years. Four weeks Burns trailed that man and, finally made the arrest, found incriminating documents in his pockets and caught $20,000 of the counterfelt bills addressed to the man at the express office. He cleaned up the Gen. Do Mora and Captain Requests gang that operated in New York and manufactured bogus bills for circulation in the central American states. He also cleaned up the Brockway, Ulrich and Bradford crowd of counterfetters and captured all the plates they used in the manufacture of $20 silver certificates. When San Francisco citizens decided on an investigation of graft conditions in that city they went to Washington to get advice about the firm of detectives to make the investigation. Chief Wilkid was asked about it and he said Burns could and would clean it up if they employed him and let him alone. He was loaned by the treasury department at the personal request of President Roosevelt, and it is recent history how he riddled the gang that had been plundering that city, secured confessions, sent a number to the pontifient and upset the graft conditions. In 30 years of detective work Burns holds the enviable record of never having lost a big case, never having shot a man in making any of the scores of important arrests he has made. No man has over shot him. ```markdown ``` EVANSTON FROCKS FOR THE GIRLS AGGEEABLE VARIETY FOUND IN WREATH OF THIN MATERIALS. Prettiest of Fragile Weaves Can Be Had Cheaply—Beautiful Design for Costume for Dancing or Other Dress or The month of roses is heralded by more thin dress materials than one has seen this many a year, and, with laces appropriately delicate, these make the most attractive of dressy frocks for a young girl. The wash material, so called, among those filmy textiles is not necessarily a thing for the tub, for thin silkies may be used upon them in some way or other and all the style of a costume suggest the careful touch of the dry cleaner rather than the rude one of the launder. But the prettiest of the fragile weaves can be had cheaply, and suitable trimming are correspondingly inexpensive; so if the gown is made at home there seems no great extravagance in discarding it after it is too soiled for use. In fact, with an occasional pressing, and scrupulous care, one of these airy gowns can be made to do for a whole season without washing, and persons who understand the art of dress prefer to manage in this way, for there is no doubt that even dry cleaning is hard on the prettiness of a dainty material. Embroidered batistio is a texture with most rewarding possibilities for summery elegance, such textures showing a flimchiness equal to marquette, and a delicate stippling in the weave and worked dots on the white portion between. Lengths of six yards are sold for misses' gowns, the pattern costing six dollars, but as only the least bit of ribbon is needed for the belt and other little touches, and the gulpme and undersleeve edges can be made of a cheap brussels not, the frock is still cheap. Our illustration displays a little frock designed for dancing or other party use, and the youthfulness of the style suggests the girlish wearer more than the matron, however youthful and slim she may be. Nevertheless, the latter would find the design appropriate for house gowns, for in one's own home one can wear garments that might seem foolish elsewhere. The dress, as pictured, is an empire silk made of fine white handkerchief linen, with a trimming of lace, tucks and embroidery. The bodice 1 shows a liberal use of the narrow insertion, this outlining the novel yoke, forming the belt and a good portion of the sleeves. The bottom of the skirt is elaborate with alternate rows of tucking and lace, two bands of insertion above this forming a deep scalloping that may head a wide flounce or only simulate one. For a thin white muslin, swiss, or gandy or marquette this model is ideal and there are many ways of varying the trimming. For instance, the whole upper portion of the bodice may be made of an all over lace and the scalloping of the belt and the insertion on the skirt might be replaced with straight bands.
