VOLUME VI. NUMBER 26. Well Known Chicago Woman United in Marriage to Mr. Geo. Young in Their Own Home Wednesday Night. MANY MILLIONAIRES AT WEDDING. Fifteen Years at Seigle-Cooper's—Friends Loath to Give Her Up, But Cupid Wins Out—Many Presents. By J. Hockley Smiley. Wednesday afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock, Miss Mattle Jeanette Johnson was married to Mr. Geo. Young at their own beautiful residence, 3635 Forrest avenue. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Martin, pastor of Bethesda Baptist Church, assisted by Rev. Ford, a former pastor. The bride was attended by Miss M. Johnson-Bowman as bridesmaid and Miss Molle Franklin as maid of honor. Both of these young ladies are nieces of the bride and came from their home in Memphis, Tenn., especially to participate in the weddings. The groom had as his best man Major J. C. Buckner. Miss Gertrude Jackson played the wedding march, while Mesnames Neal Buckner, Martha B. Anderson, Bertha Eckles Yarborough and Miss Hackley sang a beautiful wedding chorus, under the sanction of the Choral Study Club. The reception hours were from 8 to 10, and many hundreds of friends called to congratulate the happy couple. The house was prettily arranged and the dining-room, in charge of Mrs. Smiley-Pander, was arranged in her usual attractive style. A large room at the upper end of the second floor was given entirely to the display of presents, in charge of Mrs. Harry Hudson, Mrs. Eva Harris and Mrs. B. H. Johnson. Prominent among them was a costly set of silver from the elevator men at the "big store." Miss Johnson is one of the best-known young women in Chicago, having won hosts of friends by her affable ways and sterling qualities. A continuous record of fifteen years at Selige & Cooper's speaks volumes for her business ability. Miss Johnson was also active in church and club life. The happy couple will be at home after August 1. To the groom, in the language of Gilbert in "Pinnatore," the Defender would say: "Here, take her, sir, and see you treat her kindly." THE BURTON AND HYRAM WED DING A BRILLIANT AFAIR. One of the most brilliant weddings of recent years in Chicago was the wedding of Miss Mary Burton and Mr. J. Richard Eyram, at the institutional church on last Monday evening, June 26. Rev. A. J. Carey officiated, assisted by Rev. Moses Jackson of Omaha Presbyterian Church, and the elemency of the weather had no effect on the attendance as the church was rowed. The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion with palms, ferns and cut flowers. Preceding the wedding March Miss Delphi Boger and Mr. George Garner of Aurora sang a solo each, which proved a pleasing feature. Miss Burton's natural beauty and stately carriage, gowned in a creation of white satin trimmed with pearls and satin embroidered net with a vail of white tulle and carrying a bouquet of bride roses with a train two yards long, made her Chicago's most beautiful bride. Miss Genette Triplet, mall of honor, wore white lingerie over pink silk and carried an arm bouquet of pink roses. First matron of honor, Mrs. Ada Rao, sister of the groom, wore white lingerie and carried pink roses. Second matron of honor, Mrs. Mamie Reid, wore white lingerie, and carried an arm bouquet of white marquises. Third matron of honor, Mrs. Florence Bowman, wore net over white satin, and carried an arm bouquet of white roses. Walter Burton, brother of the bride, served as best man. Little Patricia Reid, the ring bearer, wore white. After girls Mr. Blinkins and Amy Fisher wore white over pink. The ribbons stretchered were Carroll Lewis, Marguerite Upton, Georgia Jackson, D. Burton, Will Williams, L. De Priest. The boys wore white and the girls pink. The usheres were R. A. Jackson, Samuel Fielding, E. J. Reid, Leroy Moss, Joseph Shoercraft, F. B. George, George Garner, W. D. Williams, S. Hyram, Jr. Reception committee: Bertha Moseley, Ada Lou Mitchell, Rena Lewis, Ethel Mitchell, H. Alexander, and M. Duncan. Mr. Julius N.

HEAD FOR JACKSON COLLEGE Z. T. Hubert Made President of Famous Institution, Succeeding a White Man Who Held the Office for Seventeen Years. NEW POLICY FOR SOUTH-ERN SCHOOLS. Negroes to Be Placed at the Head of Many Colleges and Schools Throughout the South—A New Era Dawns. By Horace D. Slatter. Special to the Chicago Defender Jackson, Miss., June 30.—In keeping with its policy of turning its large Negro schools over to the management of Negroes as soon as practicable, the American Baptist Home Mission Society has recently named Z. T. Hubert, of Atlanta, Ga., president of Jackson College, located at this place. This fact, together with the installation of Prof. John Hope as president of Atlanta Baptist College, and the turning over of the new Roger Williams University to Negroes, gives the society a warmer place in the hearts of the Negroes of the South, whom they have for no long helped and educated. Prof. Hubert, who is one of the most advanced representatives of the new, educated Negro, succeeded Dr. Luther G. Barrett, who was president for seventeen years. By his coming in all Negro faculty will be in charge of the work of Jackson College. The new president was born and reared in Georgia and understands thoroughly the economic and educational needs of his people. He is an alumnus of Atlanta Baptist College, the Massachusetts Agricultural College and Boston University. His experience as a teacher in the State Agricultural College of Florida and his long business connection with the Home Mission schools in Atlanta commended him to the society as the man peculiarly fitted to take up this work in Mississippi. A faculty of cultured men and women from the best schools in the country comes with him to take up this important work, and the grad students have every reason to feel assured that its former high standard will be maintained and the work goes forward with renewed life. In addressing a body of educators today Prof. Hubert declared that cooperation should be the sign of all the schools in the state of Mississippi for the education of Negro youth, and that while each should have its particular field of activity, meeting such needs as its constituents demanded, yet they should fill a common purpose in the formation of Christian character by the unification of effort. "None of us can say that because we are colored, that because we have a colored president and a colored faculty at Jackson College, that we ought to be appreciated by the people," he said. "It is only merit that counts. If we can show the people; if we can show the state that we are worthy, we will have their confidence; if not, we deserve to fall." In addition to the college work Jackson College has always done, Prof. Hubert plans to teach modern methods in expert farming, domestic science and business methods, to the end that young people can be well fitted for useful service in life. DR. ASA BARNES NOT DRUNK. Tuesday afternoon Dr. Barnes was seen reeling down the street, laughing and wringing his hands, and several people thought the Doctor was drunk. A reporter for the Defender went up to him and asked him for the time of day. The Doctor said it was 3:30 p. m., and "Say, by jove! that boy came here about 3 p. m. f. m! Come over and have a glass of Red Raven Spills." But our reporter said, "Not on your life, I am on the water wagon." The "junior" weighs eight pounds, and the Doctor declares it said "Papa" first thing. Mother and babe are doing nicely. Work was suspended two days. FUNERAL OF MRS. RUTH B. SIMS Funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Ruth B. Sims, who died at Provident hospital June 21, were held at the Ebenezer Baptist church Saturday morning last. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Thomas, officiated, assisted by Rev. William Gray and several other divines. An augmented choir furnished the musical numbers. Miss Lucille Peyton presided at the organ. Mrs. Sims was 34 years old and was a member of Household of Ruth No. 153 and the Lady Veterans' Association No. 2, S. U. O. of O. F. Interment was in Graceland cemetery.

Added to $5,000 demanded by the state of Washington, they would get $7,000 each. Therefore the Defender took it upon itself to try and find the two young men's relatives at a great cost, in order that their broken-hearted relatives may get the money that would revert to the state insurance companies.

Meaning in a practical sense that our own race If the one ‘who falls to give honor where it is due. In our very midst is another like Booker T. Washington. Not in that he has founded a school, but he has given to the medical world a new Weapon with which to fight and con- quer one of the most dreaded diseases known to medical seience—“tetanus” ockjaw), Dr. G. W. Lacey is the proud dis- coverer of the cure and we as a race should feel the same Interest in his discovery as the white man does. "Tis true in the medical world Dr. Lacey is heralded today as preemi- nent In medical science, His discovery has been the main topic in high schools, medical colleges and among the foremost doctors in the United States for at least three weeks, If his achievement is of such inpor- tance to the white profession what should it mean to us? Out of all the thousands of doctors and surgeons in the United States, Dr. Lacey. today from the pinnacle of his success sheds his radiance broadeast. Some skeptics might argue that. “What he did others could have done.” Well, “tetanus” has deen a disease known and fought but never conquered until now, and the auestion remains to be answered, “Could they?" Suffice to say, they ald not. I will not attempt to delve into the symptoms of “tetanus”; my pen would be unable to express the intricacies of sald disease. But I, for one, am dou- bly rejoiced over the new discovery for its conquering. First, because it will add a new page In the science book of medicable diseases. Secondly, because one of our own race was the discoverer. Just as we honor Booker ‘T, Washington for his great work in the propagation of beautiful Tuskegee, let us also honor Dr. G. W. Lacey, the propagator of medical _ science. Caesar’s friend Brutus sald in one of his talks to the people of ancient Rome, “Mighty is he who thinks mightily.” So with us.asa race, we will be great when we laud and magnity our own for thelr worth. Then, and ‘not until then will we realize the ful- fillment of the prophecy. “Princes shall come out of Egypt and_Ethtopia shall stretch forth, her hands unto God.” . Madam Minnie Adams.

A smart little lad, who had come all alone from Newcastle, in the north of England, walked down the gang- way of a steamer and proudly set foot the other day for the first time in London. He, was Francis Campbell, eight years old, chosen by the king from hundreds of other English boys to be the “King’s scholar” at the Royal Merchant Seaman's Orphanage at Snaresbrook. He was met by an of efal and escorted to the Essex home, where, to use the formal phrase, “the King has provided for his maintenance and education.” ‘The arrival of the king's small pro- tege at the Merchant's Seaman's Or- phanage {s the sequel to a tragedy of poverty that often darkens the lives of seafaring famities.

Sylvester Russell has stirred up a hornet's nest. His recent appearance at the Pekin has made him the subject of much adverse criticism. However, we believe that he is immune. A Chicago woman who had a mania for playing the piano was recently cured by an operation on the brain. Many of us could no doubt recommend several other candidates for similar treatment. Wouldn't King George like to get into a suit of clothes, light his pipe and sit out on the back porch in the full consciousness that the rent was paid and that there was enough in the larder for breakfast? The barefoot boy Whittier wrote of made history, but the barefoot man on the doorsteps at 38th street and Prairie avenue is more than we can stand. Such as he are needed back home and back in a cornfield at that. The woman on Forest avenue that raised such cain at 3 o'clock Thursday morning in front of 3637 should be made to move out of the neighborhood. We hope the respectable classes will sign a petition and have them sent back of the stock yards. Some one suggests putting a looking glass on the forward sides of the exits of street cars. The ladies will not resist looking to see if their hats are on straight and this will bring them in the right position for stepping off. Not such a bad idea after all.

The National Negro Business League, which is to meet in Little Rock, Ark., August 16, 17 and 18, is creating widespread attention. That our merchants and business men of all classes profit by such a meeting no one can doubt. Chicago, first in everything, should be well represented at this gathering. Why should men be condemned to swelter in hot, tight clothes and choking collars when the opposite sex can luxurate in diaphonous "cobweb gowns" and hammock-netting draperies which let through all but the coarsest of the air? Echo answers, Why? --- There are wonderful opportunities in this country for those who take advantage of them. August Clondeau, a Belgian, came here twenty-one years ago with his young bride and got a good job as a glass worker near Pittsburgh. Now he is returning to Belgium with a comfortable fortune and a family consisting of his wife and twenty-four lusty children. He is a baseball enthusiast and in describing how his twenty-four children scored on him he says they made thirteen singles, four two-baggers, and one triple, and now they are making a home run.

Watson was one of the "also rans" in a former presidential campaign. His stay in the limelight was very brief. Webster defines the word "Nigger" as a vile person. "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones," or perhaps this adage is more appropriate, "Give a calf enough rope and he'll hang himself." The American public have had enough of the Tom Watson type. 'TWAS JUST ONE YEAR AGO TO- DAY—AN OLD SONG. The Chicago Defender is not published on a Tuesday or we would celebrate July 4 with a special edition and call it the "Jack Johnson Special." One year ago, July 4, the nation's birthday, one Mr. Jack Albert Johnson, made everlasting history and stirred to action an entire world. The news that arrived so slowly from the front during the "war" was not awaited with more interest than were the tidings from Reno a year ago this coming Tuesday. This is just a gentle reminder of the day we celebrate. Being modest we take our honors easily. But the "Fourth" has a two-fold significance to us now and we congratulate the Hon. Mr. Johnson, although he is far away. Twelve millions of his kind, however, will do him honor on that day. His health will be drunk in water and in wine, and may he ever retain the exalted position in the fighting world that he does today. MISS-DOROTHY IS "COMMON" Her Friendliness Was the Kind That Made People Feel at Home With Her. When people asked Mrs. Hobart which of the two Lombards she liked the better, she was always prompt to reply, "I like 'em both first-rate, but Miss Dorothy's my favorite, because she's so common. Miss Mary is different." "Common!" echoed the summer border to whom Mrs. Hobart first made this statement. "What do you mean?" "Why, I mean common," repeated Mrs. Hobart with firmness, "like folks. What else does common mean, I'd be glad to know? One day they came to see me together, and I hadn't more'n sat down with 'em before I heard something on the stove sizzling the way they do when they've got all but to the top and are just about ready to surge over. I said, 'Excuse me a minute,' and ran, for I don't let things boil on my stove, not if 'twas kings and queens in the sitting room. "When I came back, they sat here, looking pretty as roses, both of 'em. And Miss Mary said, in that sweet voice of hers, gazing out over the hen yard, 'What a pleasant view you have, Mrs. Hobart?' "Now that was real society tact, I'spose, for the window she'd chosen don't command any view beyond the hen yard but the barn. But Miss Dorothy, bless her little heart, looked right at me, with her eyes all twinkly, and she said, 'O, I hope it didn't boll over, Mrs. Hobart,' and I felt at home with her right off.'—Youth's Companion.

FOUND IT BY CHANCE HOW ED:SON HAPPENED ON THE PHONOGRAPH SECRET. Accidental Occurrence, While He Was Experimenting on 'Sheepskin for the Telephone, Suggested the Talking Machine. Accident has had so much to do with all great inventions that it will not be surprising to hear that the phonograph was a chance discovery. Many years ago, while Edison was experimenting on diaphragms for the telephone, he had constructed a number of small sheepskin drumheads, to compare with the metal one. To some of these sheepskin diaphragms he had attached a small needle, which was intended to project toward the magnet and assist in conveying the vibrations caused by the human voice. The sheepskin diaphragms did not fulfill Edison's expectations, and were discarded and thrown aside as rubbish. His assistants soon discovered that by holding the sheepskin diaphragms in front of their mouths and emitting a guttural sound between the lips, a peculiar noise, approaching music, could be produced. In passing one of the men engaged in playing on a diaphragm one day, Edison playfully attempted to stop the noise by touching the projecting metal pin with his finger, and had no sooner done so than he started. "Do that again," said Edison, and it was repeated, and again his finger touched the pin, to his evident delight. He went about for some time, asking one after another of his assistants to hum or sing against the diaphragm, and finally he got them to talk against it, he all the time touching the pln lightly with his finger. Finally he retired to his den, and commenced drawing diagrams for new machinery, which his assistants specially made, and a few days later the first phonograph was put together. It was a crude affair, the pln making an impression on the wax, and it talked imperfectly¹ but it did well enough to show Edison that he was on the right track, and he rapidly improved it. A hundred men might have felt the vibration of that pln attached to the piece of sheejskink, but it took an Edison to instantly realize that the vibration might be made to indent a soft substance and be susceptible of reproducing the exact sounds of the human voice that caused the different vibrations. Stone Bathtubs Used On the great private estates in Mexico baths are it use today which were hawn out of the solid rocks centuries ago by slave labor. They are located, for the most part, in the vicinity of running water, and are fed by bamboo pipes, but in many cases they have to be filled by the old-fashioned method of carrying a bucket to and from the spring. In the cities the so-called stone baths are made of cement. The residences of all well-to-do people are provided with them, and they are a feature of the native hotels. They are usually about ten feet long by four feet deep—baby swimming tanks, in fact. The tropical custom is to fill the baths late at night. By the following morning the water will have acquired a limpid coolness that acts like a tonic upon the body. When one remembers that near the equator it is almost as warm in the morning as it is at noon, and that water taken direct from the city mains is always epid, the advantage of the stone or cement bath is evident. Venus an Interesting Study "Canals on Mars" and the possibility of it being inhabited by a race of men with which we one day may establish a sign language fades in interest when compared with some recent observations as to the brilliant planet Venus. Venus is 25,000,000 miles nearer the sun than is the earth, and it makes its revolution around the sun in about 225 days. One of the chief difficulties which the astronomer encounters in viewing Venus is that brilliancy which makes Venus so attractive as a morning or evening "star." But it seems to be established that, like the moon to the earth, Venus presents always the same face to the sun in making its orbit. It is so immeasurably nearer the sun than is the earth that, presenting this one surface always sunward, it is figured that the sunlit face of the planet is a parched, lifeless plain subject to dust stroms, while in its shadow is a wilderness of mountainous ice and snow, with a temperature possibly at an absolute zero. Thrashing Machines The fall is the most ancient instrument for thrashing grain, although it is possible that the trampling of the straw under the feet of horses, oxen and men is a close second. The Romans used a machine called the "Tribulum," a sledge loaded with stones or iron, and drawn over the grain sheaves by horses or oxen. The first machine attempted in modern times for the work of thrashing was invented by one Michael Mengles, of Edinburgh, about 1732. Some 30 years later Andrew Melkle built a similar machine. It was not until the latter half of the nineteenth century, however, that the thrashing machine reached anything like its present perfection. Uniting a Family. Brainerd H.

As an introducer, he is an incessant wonder. At a reception at which he was making himself pleasant, he introduced Victor Kauffman to a certain lady twice in one evening. At the second introduction, the lady said to Mr. Warner: "Yes; I've met Mr. Kauffman once before this evening. Besides, he married my daughter several years ago." —Popular magazine Mrs. John Ales of Louisville, Ky., is the guest of Mrs. O.

ROOM THAT IS SOUND-PROOF Remarkable Chamber at University of Utrecht That Was Constructed for Scientific Experiments. The Physiological institute of the University of Utrecht possesses one of the most remarkable rooms, in the world, a chamber about seven and a half feet square, which is said to be absolutely noiseless, as far as the entrance of sounds from outside is concerned. This room is situated on the top story of a laboratory building, and is an inside room, but so arranged that it can be ventilated and inundated with sunshine. The walls, floors and ceiling each consist of half a dozen layers of different substances, with air spaces and interstices filled with sound-deadening materials. Some persons when in the room experience a peculiar sensation in the ears. While every effort has been made to exclude sounds that are not wanted, of course the object of constructing this singular room was to experiment with phenomena connected with sound. Some of the sounds employed are made in the room itself; others are introduced from outside by means of a copper tube, which is plugged with lead when not in use. SUMMER ON A HOUSEBOAT Vessels in a Colony Out in -Oregon Have the Conveniences of a City Flat. Houseboating on the Willamette river is the proper way for the people of Portland, Ore, to spend their summers, according to a writer in Suburban Life. He says that there is an entire colony of houseboats just above the city. Probably there is no similar houseboat village anywhere. "They possess almost all the conveniences of a city flat, the houses are lighted with electricity, city water is piped to the door, and in some cases the houses are supplied with it," he says. "Telephones are installed in most of the houses, and an electric street car runs within easy reach, but just far enough away to give the colony the desired seclusion. "To make it still more cified it is proposed to install gas from the city system during the present year. The finest boat in the colony cost $1,500, and is 35 by 60 feet. The average houseboat, however, is worth about one-half this sum." An Irishman went into a butcher shop and bought a pound of soum meat. He then asked the butcher to write out a recipe, explaining how to cook it, and the butcher did so. As the Irishman was leaving the butcher shop with the meat in his hand a big black dog strolled up behind him and stole it. The Irishman shouted at the dog: "That's the time I fooled you. Ye haven't got the recipe to cook it!" Once Was Enough. "Of course," said the surgeon who had operated for appendicitis, "there will be a scar." "That's all right" replied the patient. "Leave any kind of mark you like that will prevent some strange doctor from coming along and operating again."—Winchester Herald. His Prospects.

Burton, in his famous "Anatomy of Melancholy" says: "Laziness is poison to body and mind, the aliment of perverseness, one of the seven deadly els; 'tis the devil's pillow, his bolster, his main support. A lazy dog is full of the mange, and how shall a lazy man not be otherwise? Laziness of mind is also much worse than laziness of body; an unused talent is a mistortune; and to the mind rust is a pest, a hell." Not Really Essential.

THE CHORAL STUDY CLUB GIVES ITS THIRTY-THIRD PERFORM- By Sylvester Russell. Association Auditorium was not very full on last Monday evening, June 26th, when the Choral Study Club gave Protheroese's "Castilla" and S. Coleridge Taylor's "Bon-Bon Suite." The heavy thunderstorm which arose at 7:30 had pictured a golden painting in the western horizon far too late to warn people that the storm was over. It was a sad but tuneful evening of disappointments. It was even announced that Gerald Tyler, the baritone soloist of Kansas City, Mo., was suffering with a fresh cold, so much so that he only sang one number of a group of seven songs which had been expected as our money's worth. Mr. Taylor played his own accompaniment and sang Ronald's song, "O, Lovely Night," regardless of the fact that playing for one's self is the tinnest feature of a concert room. Castilla, written for male voices, was a heavy poem for the weakest end of the club to wade through, and the tenor voices which were weak on this occasion fell short by the taxation which Protheroese had exacted from and imposed upon them. Mrs. P. S. Bair presided at the piano, together with an orchestra consisting of three white musicians, Miss Shinch White and Masters Chance Lee and Wyatt Houston, gave good account of themselves as one of the features of the evening. The chariot upon which our hopes were centered was S. Coleridge Taylor's latest vehicle, "Bon-Bon Suite." Neither of these two works can be termed as oratories, but figure musically in the same class merely as poems set to music. There are six lyrics written by the Irish poet, Sir Thomas Moore, set to music by Mr. Taylor. "The Magic Mirror" was musically what it should be, and for most part was up to the Taylor standard. Mr. Taylor appeared in the solo parts of the number and the chorus, although at times uneven, was rendered with majestic splendor due to the fact that Madam Martha Broadus Anderson led the chorus in which the female portion was exceptionally grand, which also speaks well for the leadership of Prof. Pedro T. Tinsley, who conducted with superior skill. "The Fairy Boat" was another chorus which indicated the true merit of the great colored English composer, for in "To Rosa," which followed, Coleridge-Taylor's well-known treatment of a good song lyric was revealed in the solo rendered by Mr. Tyler. "Love and Hyun" was a most tuneful number for female voices, and if a trifle lighter than the others, fully scored on its perfection. "The Watchman" was Tyler's best chance, which he fully arose to. The final chorus, "Say, What Shall We Dance?" was difficult to master, and once more brought the Choral Study club honors of which they have much cause for encouragement in the future. Gerald Tyler as a vocalist is a finished artist, but even without considering his cold his voice, which is brilliantly charm- ing in quality of sweetness, is piquantly melodious. But his organ, especially because it is baritone, lacks the power of a great singer's voice in his class, and his lower notes are thin and inadequate for cantabile or concerted numbers in these great chorus productions. It seems hardly necessary to carry these performances down in town where they are out of the way for everybody. The performances should have been given at Quinn chapel Johnson and Rector at the Pekin. The audiences at the Pekin were unusually enthusiastic when Johnson and Rector made their first appearance at this house and handed over some good, entertaining jokes and sayings and both performers have good songs which they sing well in addition to their dancing. The Great Mondaagne was a very clever balancer and won rounds of applause. Fanny Wise made her reappearance at this house in an entirely new budget of songs and her popularity continues unabated. Dick Lancaster in a dramatic recitation was a white act which won favor, as did the three Fondellers, comedy acrobats, who have an act full of comical situations. Oliver Perry's orchestra was in good form and gave Miss Wise especially good service in her songs. Acting Manager Sam Corker, Jr., who now has full charge of the house during Mr. Moot's continued illness, is steadily growing more popular in demonstrating his knowledge of the show business. An Air Ship and a Good Bill at the Grand. The Clarks and McKissick and Shadney were the great comedy sketch producers at the Grand this week. While McKissick and Shadney is too strong an act to open the bill, they shared honors with the best acts on the program. McKissick, as I have often stated, is not only one of the best comedians of any race in America, but a constant fun producer and an actor. Miss Shadney is an excellent soprano and her Mexican number was great. The Clarks did one of their best acts. and Mr. Clark's well-known Hebrew and Italian specialties were nicely introduced and yet, met with a big reception. Rasus Buckner did a lively turn and be good. Dorothy Lamb and Com- pany, a white sketch, in "A Night With the Red Men," was decidedly comical throughout. The other white act was a novelty in a way., Miss Aubria Rich, a clever soubrette, goes up in an air ship. The ship has red lights and floats in the darkness, but arouses enough commotion to set all seekers of curiosity at rest regarding its safety. Lizzie Hart Sings "If I Forget" at the Monogram—Makes a Distinct Hit. Monogram—Makes a Distinct Hit. The usual rush took place at the little Monogram Monday evening when Madam Lizzie Hart prolonged her engagement to a second week, singing "If I Forget," and the audience truly acknowledged the beauty of the song by a big ovation. Simms and Thompson were the heavy comedy comedians and Joe Simms again brought forth convulsions of laughter when he appeared in female robes of incomparable history and Thompson sang a fresh song that went heavy. May and May are in their second week. Butler May is of an ancient type of oddities inconceivable, but apt enough to watch or wait for a word or movement to cause a scream of laughter. But he is a comedian by recognition of his growing importance as an eccentric dancer, and his wife, believe me, has some new purple clothes. The Misses Johnson and Roper did a good sister singing and dancing act and wore fine dresses. Miss Roper is hardly spirited enough in her work and will have to kick higher and swiffer in order to keep up to Miss Johnson or Miss Johnson will have to sober down to Miss Roper. The Phoenix Fares Well With New Pictures Manager Hummond has succeeded in convincing the patrons of this house that he knows what they want in picture assortments and illustrated songs. The Railroad Rangers of 62 and Manurel Lady were interesting. This house is catering to refined people in favor of the patronage of ladies and children. Actors Play Ball Wednesday Afternoon The C. V. B. A. played a game of ball against the Goats on the Wentworth avenue field Wednesday afternoon, June 25th, too late for full details. The score was 3 to 1 in favor of the Goats. The errors which lost the game for the C. V. B. A. were made by a Goat substitute who played on the C. V. B. A. nine. The umpire was also a Goat. There is talk of having another game at an early date at which time there will be no more substitutes from one side to fill out another. Death of Two Prominent Actors. James Bland of the Bland Brothers, famous minstrel comedians of years ago, died in Philadelphia recently at the age of 55. Jim Bland was not only one of the best comedians of his day, but was actually the greatest Ethiopian song writer of his race. He made his first showing in the Sprauge's Georgia Minstrels, but it was his appearance in J. H. Haverley's Mastadon Minstrels that he became famous as a producer and song writer. His "Golden Wedding" was a song number that lived. His great song successes were "In the Evening by the Moonlight," "Oh, Those Golden Slippers" and "Christmas Dinner." When the Colleander Minstrels went abroad Jim Bland and Sam Lucas were two of the main features of the organization. On their return W. S. Cleveland's colored minstrels were organized and headed by Jim Bland and Tom McIntosh. After his tour with this company Bland began to weary of the show business; he stopped writing songs and became a heavy drinker. His last appearance in an organization in which he took rank but of short duration was with the Hicks-Sawyer Minstrels in 1892 at Front Street Theatre, Baltimore. The company consisted of the following artists: Jim Bland, one Billy Farrell, Ben Hunn, Billy Jackson, Joe Holcomb, Walter Smart, Sylvester Russell, Jute Johnson, William Dixon, George Pickett, George Bailey and others. * * * Gus Hall (H. Augustus Hall), well remembered as a member of Black Patti's Ernest Hogan and the Smart Set companies, died on Tuesday morning, June 20th, at the Harlem Hospital of throat and stomach trouble. The funeral took place in New York. Through the intervention of Miss Ruby Taylor the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association guaranteed his burial, as an unfinancial member. HARRISON EMANUEL AT WAUKE GAN. Mr. Harrison Emanuel, the Young Violinist, Rendered a Selection at the Sixth Annual Commencement of the Waukegan Conservatory, June 20. JOHN B. BROWN Mr. Harrison Emanuel. The string quartet of which he is a member was especially fine and the group of airs for violin rendered by Mr. Emanuel were almost faultless in execution. He produced his harmonies with deft grace and in such bird whistle tones as to show musical taste and appreciation of a high order. · MR. COOPER IN RECITAL. Mr. Opal D. Cooper, Chicago's popular tenor, will appear in a recital at Bethesda Baptist church Monday evening, July 3, at 8:30. The admission is 25 cents. Mr. Cooper will be assisted by Mrs. Naive Lewis, contraitto; Mrs. Fannie Hall-Clint, reader, with Mr. Theo, T. Taylor as pianist, Mr. Cooper Mr. Opal D. Cooper. is a member of the Choral Study club and this recital is given with the sanction of that association. The program, as arranged, is as follows: Length of Life in Pigeons: A writer in the "Field" gives some interesting notes on the duration of life in certain breeds of domestic pigeons. Such notes are of some importance, for, as Prof. A. Weismann has remarked, referring to the duration of life in birds: "There is less exact knowledge upon this subject than we might expect, considering the existing number of ornithologists and ornithological societies, with their numerous publications." The examples given by the writer of the above notes are a white trumpeter cock twenty-two years, a blue cropper hen twenty-nine years, another cropper thirty years. Of the doves there are numerous records of over twenty years, while one is said to have reached the age of thirty-seven years. We may compare this with the records for other species of birds given by Weismann in the appendix to his essay on "The Duration of Life." Thus canaries in captivity attain an age of from twelve to fifteen years, while ravens have lived for almost one hundred. Parrots are known to have exceeded the one hundred, and a golden eagle which died at Vienna in 1719 had been captured one hundred and four years previously. Swans are said to have lived three hundred years, but this must be taken as doubtful. "Bread Upon the Waters." "Bread Upon the Waters." When the conductor came to collect the young lady's fare she discovered that she had left her pocketbook at the office where she works as stenographer, says the Denver Times. It is a predicament not uncommon with city dwellers, but the rest of the story, as told, takes a new and agreeable turn. "Why, I'm afraid I haven't any money with me," she said, looking very much embarrassed. The conductor said nothing, but stood and witted. "I guess I'll have to get off," said the girl. "I left my pocketbook at the office." Here, lady," said a boyish voice coming from across the aisle. "I got a nickel I'll lend you." She looked at the boy and took the nickel. "Thank you," she said. "I'll pay you back if you'll give me my name." "Don't worry 'bout that," he replied. "I'm the kid you give the half dollar to las' Christmas when you seen me sellin' papers down by the Savoy. I ain't forgot you. I'm selling papers there yet." She smiled at him when he left the car and he was about the proudest boy in town. Unusual and Joyous Event The recent dinner given by Confederate veterans at Gastonia, N. C., to 100 former slaves was an unusual event, and one also which cannot take place at all after the passing of a few more years, says the Springfield Republican. It was a joyous occasion, according to the reports—the dinner taking the form of a reunion of oldtime bondmen, their former masters and mistresses, and the children of the slave-owners.

In this league Joe Williams, better known as "Cyclone Joe," in one contest struck out 23 men. At San Diego, Cal., in another contest, he struck out 19 men. Among the players he fanned were Altizer of the Cincinnati club; Harry Davis, captain of Philadelphia Athletics; Cravath, formerly of White Sox; Neal Ball, short stop of Clevelands, and Ben Stovall, also of Cleveland. The team returned to Chicago in April and has since played 48 games, winning 38, making one run of 21 straight wins. In this run such crack clubs as the Gunners and Rogers Parks were victims. The Chicago Giants line-up is as follows: Pittus, captain and first base; Washington, catcher; George Neal, 2nd base; Wm. Lain, 3d base; Wm. Parks, short stop; Bobby Thurston, left field; Sherman Barton, center field; Harry Moore, first base and fielder; Joe Green, fielder. To Live 140 Years The Hindus, in the development of the physical man, claim for him not only longevity, not immunity from disease. They say to him: "He is determined not to fall sick, and he never does. He lives long, a hundred years is nothing to him; he is quite young and fresh when he is 150." Getting Near to Nature. It was not always perfectly clear at first thought just what Ben Caldon meant when he spoke. The best a hearer could do was to guess at the most obvious meaning and let it go at that. In the matter of a captive moose, which belonged to Ben, the doctor followed this course. The moose was undoubtedly sick, and a veterinary had been ammoned to attend him. Ben went out to the pen to assist the doctor. "Is he mortal, doe?" asked Ben, with extreme concern. "Are you asking if he `is sick'?" hazarded the doctor". "Sure," replied Ben, "only I meant is he goin' to die from it?" "It's too soon to tell you yet," replied the doctor, "but he has pneumonia pretty badly." Ben's eyes grew round with surprise. Pneumonia in his experience had been confined to humankind. "Why, doc," he burst out, "does a moose have features like a grown person?" -Youth's Companion. Era of Drunkenness. Nowhere in all the world today can be found as many confirmed drunkards as there were among the Thrarchians, the Iberians, the Celts, or the Scythians. The man who didn't get drunk every day or two was regarded as queer. The Greeks were moderate drinkers until they began to copy the luxury of the Persian feasts. The Romans imitated the Greeks. Then the whole world went on a mad drunk. It was a saturnalia. Caligula owes his niche in the hall of fame to the drunken banquets with which he made even Rome marvel. The excesses made fashionable by such potentates as Lucullus, Nero, Verres, Tiberius, Caligula, Vitellius, and Domitian really began in the days of Pompey and they mark the beginning of the end of the republic. Napoleon Suppressed "Julius Caesar." Bonaparte was one night at the play in Paris, and it happened to be "Julius Caesar." Talma performed the part of Brutus, and when he knelt to Caesar and said, "Give us back our liberties," the acclamations all over the house were so great that nothing could be heard on the stage for many minutes. Bonaparte meanwhile was taking snuff in his most violent way, which he always did when agitated. The next day he sent orders that that play was not to be acted any more. Journal of the Hon. Mr Calvert. NURSE PLAYS A MEAN JOKE Change of Babies Causes Proud Father to Lose All His Faith in Humanity. A bunch of the nurses out at St. Luke's hospital are still laughing over the case of a youngish man who several weeks ago became the p. and n. father of a brand new baby. It was only a girl baby, but he liked it just as well as if it had been a boy. Moreover, as it was the first time he had ever been a parent, he had no realization of the great similarity in the general run of young babies. He got the impression that this young one that he was the male parent of had it on most infants in feature, form and mental endowments, whereas everybody knows, or ought to, that babies until they're at least three months old are so nearly alike that the difference isn't worth talking about. "You haven't had many little ones as smart as this'n at one week old, have you, now?" he remarked interrogatively to the nurse who had charge of the general welfare of the newly acquired baby and its mother. "I've seen a good many babies in my time, but I'd certainly know this one in a thousand." Nurse merely tacitfully. She made up her mind to find out if that father was equal to his belief in himself and his offspring, and if he'd know it among a thousand or less. It was necessary to let the baby's mother in on the scheme. The latter agreed to it. Next morning, when the man came around to have a look at his family, a phony "kid" about the same age had been substituted for his in the crib. "You'll hold the little one a moment, while I straighten up her bed, won't you?" asked nurse sweety. Sure he would. He took it carefully and gazed fondly into the child's features, thinking of the days in the future when she would climb up on his knee and ask him to help her with her algebra. "I guess you're pretty well satisfied with her, aren't you?" suggested nurse, still sweetly. "Well, I guess I am," vowsafed the p. and h. parent. "The thing I like about her best of all is that she's got the features of her father's family to a striking degree. She has my nose and eyes exactly. Anybody can see that." Then when they told him it wasn't his "kid" at all, and how they'd run in a phony on him, he stalked forth into the night with the air of a man who has been sadly imposed upon and has lost his faith in humanity.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Meilted Rebuke The irreproachable politeness of the late Edward VII of England was not only individual and relative to persons; it was human and general as well. Once at Marlenbad his majesty and a few friends were having tea in a restaurant in the pine woods near the town. At a table close by sat another party, the host of which was a well-known German prince. The work of attending to the guests at both tables devolved upon a young English waitress, and the king did not fail to notice the rude, blustering manner of the royal German, who threatened to report the terrified girl every time she had occasion to answer his summons. Annoyed by this most unjustifiable behavior, the king said to Sir Stanley Clarke: "You are to convey my thanks to the proprietor here for the prompt and admirable manner in which my party has been served at this restaurant." The command was ins ntly obeyed, much to the disgust of the adjoining table, a disgust which was intensified when the king gave the timid young kaltress a gold piece.—Youth's Companion. Dog Herds the Ostrich When visiting my brother's farm at Bayville, South Africa, a short while ago, writes a contributor to London Graphic, I was much interested in finding that since my last visit he had adopted a colliel for the purpose of collecting and moving his ostriches from camp to camp. Miss Collie is very young, and known by the appellation of "Puns." As old Sol dipped in the west we rode down to a camp near the river to watch "Pups" collect her troop of birds and bring them home. She handled 150 birds with delightful tact and consummate skill, bringing them out of a large camp, down a lane, into the night camp or kraal in an extraordinarily short time. The change in the behavior of these birds since I saw them being driven was very marked. They moved the whole while with a dignity, confidence and assurance—with a freedom from foolery and panic that appeared to me quite a new experience. Here, thought I, is a study in animal magnetism to delight the very pedant of psychology. Her Husband Didn't Gamble You have all heard of the married woman who said that she was sure her husband didn't drink anything when he went out in the evening because he was always so thirsty in the morning. Very well, we will proceed to the experience of the bride. This bride lives right in our town, but it wouldn't be fair to mention names. She is such a pretty little thing and, anyway, chivalry isn't dead. Long may it wave! "I know my husband," she said, lingering lovingly over the word, "doesn't play poker when he stays down at the club, and I'm so glad." "How did you find out?" "Oh, I met a couple of the members of his club and I ask them: 'Can Robert play poker?'" "They both looked thoughtful for a moment and then answered: 'No.'" The Preponderance of Evidence, "Sorry," said the constable, "but I'll have to arrest ye—you been drivin' along at the rate of 50 miles an hour." "You are wrong, my friend," said the driver. "I say I wasn't, and here's a ten-dollar bill that says I wasn't." "All right," returned the constable, pocketing the money. "With 11 to 1 against me I ain't goin' to subject the county to th' expense of a trial."—Harper's Weekly.

The lovers sat and throbbed thrillingly as only lovers can sit and throb thrillingly. Suddenly, as the night owl snored above them, his overflowing soul flowed over. "Muriel," he exclaimed, waking the night owl from its slumbers, "I cannot understand what you see in me to love!" The night owl hooted in disgust, and went to sleep again. Even Muriel, as her soft eyes dwelt upon the planet Venus, looked a little disappointed. But she knew he was too earnest to be fishing for a compliment, and she pressed his hand as she dreamily replied: "Dear Artie! That's what they all say."

Sherbet 'at' It: Best A sherbet made of extract of violets was much esteemed in the east, and Mohammed is reported to have said of it that it surpassed all other extracts. In some part of Europe it is customary to mingle violets, roses, and lime blossoms with preserves to add a flower element to the fruity flavor. In Egypt and Turkey violets are used in making sherbet as mint is employed in juleps in Kentucky.

"I wouldn't be a bit surprised to know that most of the steel work in that big building was originally steam shovels, engines or car wheels down at the canal. "When Uncle Sam took charge down there he gathered into a heap some of the machinery used by the French and sold it to a Brooklyn junk man at auction for $11 a ton. He resold it to the steel corporation for $12 a ton. There was about 200,000 tons of it and it is shipped up here.

"Ain't no comback, by heck; sence we got th' macheen they don't never ketch us at home." Making News of Virtue Crime is exaggerated by critics of the newspaper more than by the newspaper itself. Criminal news actually forms a much smaller part of the normal newspaper than many faultfinders loosely assume. The Boston press gave more space to Moody and Stankey in their first great series of meetings thirty-five years ago than it ever had given to any unworthy pair, and within two years the reports of a big and protracted religious rally in Boston filled a larger number of news columns than the reports of any criminal case in the history of the city. While the unusual is the news most in demand by editors and readers, it is not necessarily news of the unusually bad. The virtuous, if their virtue takes unusual shape or scope, can make news. Virtue itself, however, is not news, and it will be a sorry day when simple "well doing becomes news in any community."—Boston Globe. Grammer in the Supreme Court. Not so much purists as grammararians would be distressed by hearing justices of the Supreme court speak from the bench either in handling down oral decisions or in addressing members of the bar. The members of the court frequently break the rules of syntax. Of course this is never apparent in the written decisions, where great care is taken in editing the matter written, but it would appear the justices are not so exacting in speaking, seemingly giving went to the first words that come to their mouths, even words they were told were incorrect in their boyhood, the insuspa linguae may be consequently thought atavistic. One who listens in the court may hear from the bench such expressions as "be don't" and "they ain't." Other violations of the grammatical properties might be cited. Even the chief justice is a boy again, unless one's ears very much deceive. Improved Circulating Library A new kind of circulating library is to be tried by the Belgian government. At Brussels a central library consisting at the outset of 10,000 volumes is to be created and any inhabitant of any part of Belgium who owns a postoffice savings bank book will be entitled to borrow from it and receive by mall any book for a fortnight upon having two cents checked off his account at the postoffice. His deposit serves as a guarantee for payment for books not returned. As there are about 1,600 postoffices in Belgium this will amount to the creation of a circulating library with some 1,600 branches, whose risks will be more than covered by the deposits in the savings banks.

His subject was from I Kings 5:4—"But now the Lord my God hath given me rest on every side," Benton Harbor and Niles, Mich., were well represented. After the services a reception was tendered the visiting orders at their hall, 208 North Main street. A lawn social was given at Mrs. Clyde Mathews, 860 North Main street.

No more important factor in the shaping and moulding of present day thought and activity exist than the women's clubs that under one name or another are engaged industriously in doing the kind of work for which women have especial aptitude. The question as to whether women are not taking more active interest in culture in the broadest sense than are men may be answered in part by a comparison of the motives that bring the sexes respectively into a fellowship gathering. The men's clubs fill a sphere, but for the most part they can hardly be accounted uplifting influences to society. They seldom stand for an end higher than sociability or the promotion of some interests held in common by their members. This is not the case with the clubs among women. They are almost wholly bent upon doing something for the advancement of art interest, practical education, benevolent enterprise, social uplift, community reform and literary promotion or any one of the subjects embraced in the general economy of living. The aim of the women's clubs is to bring sentiment to bear and to center influences for the attainment of some beneficial end whereby society or some element of society may be benefited. It is not necessary to assume that the propaganda of women's clubs are always wise. It is not necessary that they should invariably be successful. Women are ready in adjustment and when upon the wrong track they can quietly and quickly acknowledge error and change their tactics, and they seldom are overcome by discouragement. Extenuating Circumstance Ted was an excitable youngster, and to adequately express his feelings had acquired the use of words foretuit, but improper. In a fit of temper one day he used some of his most violent terms to his mother. She said nothing, but Ted knew well the signs of preparation for a just rebuke, corporally administered. He said, "I know you are going to whip me, but before you begin remember I said it in a very pleasant tone of voice." Cause for Grief. George, aged 3½, was very cross and his walls louder than usual one day made his mother ask impatiently, "George, what in the world makes you cry?" With an injured catch in his voice George replied, "You would cry, too, if you hit the crazy bone in your head as I did." Mrs. B. Gets a Shot Home.

KAISER'S WIFE IS A PARAGON Good Wife, Mother and Housekeeper, Highly Accompiled and Po- sessor of Charming Manners. The German empress, as well as proving herself pre-eminently a good wife, mother and housekeeper, has many graceful accomplishments. She is very musical, and this forms a strong bond of sympathy between herself and the emperor, who is a musical composer of some ability. When he desires to give his wife an agreeable surprise he instructs the court musicians to play some new composition under the windows of her apartments. Musical evenings with his wife and family are one of the few recreations in which the busy kaiser indulges. The empress is fond of sketching, and is a clever amateur photographer, having a collection of most interesting travel scenes, which she photographed during her tour with the emperor in the holy land. She has great taste in the arrangement of furniture and flowers, and her private apartments are among the most artistic of any royal lady in Europe. The consort of the kaiser is a charming mixture of the woman and the imperial lady. Nothing which adds to the well-being of her husband and children is beneath her concern. In simple morning gown she will prepare the emperor's coffee, and in the evening, attired with taste and magnificence and full of gracious manners she is every inch an empress. She invariably wears in her hair a large, single diamond, which once adorned the cocked hat of Napoleon, and is seldom seen without the diamond and enameled bracelet, which bears inset likenesses of her seven children, and a heart-shaped open pocket with a portrait of her husband. In appearance the empress is tall, of good presence, comely in face, and generally smiling, while her laugh is rippling and contagious. She is sweet and placid in nature, leaves politics severely alone, but is much interested in social reforms. In short, the German empress must have been the selected of the gods as helpmate for the clever, strenuous kaiser. Had Her Own Opinion. As soon as the Eastern States was well out of the Detroit river she hit it up, at her usual speed of twenty miles, further augmented by a fifteen-mile breeze dead astern. The boat hustled some. After a time the breeze died down and soon the lake assumed the oily appearance of a dead calm. Up rose the lady—she lives in E. Ninety-third street when she is at home, and is a clever automobileist. "The breeze is so strong here," she announced, "that I shall have to go into the cabin to seek shelter." "Why," said a man who knows her, "there is no breeze at all. Just look at the lake. It is the boat that is making its own breeze, going twenty miles an hour." The woman turned on him in scorn. "Nonsense," she replied, disdainfully. "You tell me there is no breeze and here my hat is almost blowing off. I am surprised at you. We're steaming against a strong headwind and everyone knows it but you." She stuck to it, too.—Cleveland Leader. Japanese Mushrooms Many varieties of mushrooms, little known in this country or in Europe, are to be found in Japan. The most esteemed of these is the shiil-take, which is principally grown on the evergreen oak. Trees about six inches in diameter are foiled and cut into lengths of six feet. The logs are scarred on the back, and are laid on the ground for about three years. Then they are stacked in rows in a shady place, and soon become covered with the mushrooms. After yielding one crop the logs are soaked in water, beaten with a mooden mallet and again set up. in a few days new mushrooms begin to sprout on them. The shiil-take is a great favorite in Japan, being used in many dishes, but most frequently in soups.—Harper's Weekly. The Copper's Joke "Ever go over on the east side?" asked Rose Stahl. "If not, you miss half the joy of living in New York. Just for fun I made the rounds the other day with a reporter friend of mine. A few blocks east of the Bowery we observed a crowd hanging about a certain corner and approached a policeman. "What's the row over there?" the reporter asked. "The policeman grinned. 'Nothin', he replied. 'Nothin' but a wooden weddin'. "A wooden wedding?" the newspaper man pondered and reached for his pencil: "Who is it?" "Why, it's a wooden weedin', answered the policeman, in a matter-of-fact voice. 'It's a couple of Poles gettin' married.'"—"Young's Magazine. Thoughtful Girl. The young man was calling on the girl. He didn't know her very well, but she looked good to him. He wanted to call again the next night, but hardly had the nerve to ask permission to do so. "I'd like to come up again," he said when he was ready to go home. "How about next week some time?" A look of disappointment came over her face. "Next week?" she said. "Why, isn't that er—well, I'll tell you what to do; you come up tomorrow night and we'll decide which night next week you may call."—Detroit Times. The Ruling Passion: "I spent Sunday in the country with a well-known speculator, and even in the walk he took me, he couldn't forget his all-absorbing pursuit." "Why, what did he do?"

How an Old Lady Made Everyone Think She Was Rich and Always Had the Best of Everything. "There are two ways of impressing people," said a woman who had knocked about the world a good deal, according to a writer in the New York Times. "You can be very smart or you can be distinctly shabby. For a woman of small means I recommend the second way, and I can speak with some authority, since I have followed my theory for a long time. "Before I adopted it myself I watched it in operation. I know an old lady of some means, but not rich, who lived in a good hotel. Everybody dressed rather expensively, and everybody received more or less consideration from the management, but this old lady was the mogul of the place. "She paid no more for her rooms than the others and she spent less in the dining room, and I was at a loss to account for the fact that she commanded instant and implicit obedience, even in the most exacting requests until one day when the hotel clerk, having seen me in conversation with her, said casually: "You know she's awfully rich." "Is she?" said I. "I had no idea." "Oh, yes, indeed. She goes around in those shabby clothes because she doesn't care, but she has several million dollars." "It happened that after that I became quite intimate with the old lady, and by reason of helping her with her affairs in one way or another I got a pretty good idea of her income, which was certainly not more than $5,000 a year. Also, as our intimacy became apparent, I found myself more and more often questioned in the same casual manner." "She is tremendously rich, isn't she? people would say. And I would answer noncommittely that she certainly had enough for one woman to live on. To which the invariable reply was a laughing: 'I bet she has.' " "So one day I told her of this and asked how the rumor of her great wealth ever started. She laughed. "It's my clothes, my dear, she said. 'As you know I am interested in so many things that I have not much money left over for clothes. Two gowns at a time are all I can afford, and going out so little I wear them for at least a year or two. "They cannot imagine a woman economizing in clothes, and they interpret my lack of vanity as the carelessness a woman known to be rich has for details. I'd love to have clothes if I felt I could afford them, at least I would have liked them once, but now that I find the consideration bestowed on my eccentric shabbiness I am not sure that the change would not be for the worse. "I have the best table in the dining room. The other day some people who must spend twice as much as I do had a table near me and annoyed me by their talking and laughing. I complained, and their table was changed. "If they should object they would have to leave, for the management is not going to offend a woman of millions like myself. I was thinking of getting a new bonnet this year, but as it might lower my social position I shall probably continue to wear the one I bought eight years ago." "This is a scheme that works in any number of directions. I personally cannot afford to dress as well as most of the women I know, so I make a point of dressing less well even than I can afford. They all know I could do a bit better than I do, and the result is that all have a feeling that if I ever waked up I would probably outshine everybody. "This is such a world of snobs that you have only to get it thoroughly understood that you don't care a snap about snobs to have them all on their knees about you. I wish women who try to 'keep up appearances' would get this idea through their heads." The Rolling Tank. Experiments have been carried on recently by one of the transatlantic steamship companies with a view to preventing ships from rolling in heavy seas. Two small steamships have been equipped with "U" shaped tanks, filled with water, which flows in an opposite direction to the movement of the sea, thus counterbalancing its effect. With two tanks working the lateral movements of the vessels were from three to four per cent; with one tank, from five to six per cent; and, without the tanks, from eight to fourteen per cent. The efficiency of the rolling tank has surprised even its inventors, and tanks are to be installed on the largest vessels afloat.—Harper's Weekly. Feminine Indorsement She advanced to the paying teller's window, and handing in a check for $50, stated that it was a birthday present from her husband and asked for payment. The teller informed her that she must first endorse it. "I don't know what you mean," she said hesitatingly. "Why, you see," he explained, "you must write your name on the back, so that when we return the check to your husband he will know we have paid you the money." "O, is that all?" she said, relieved. One minute elapsed. Thus the indorsement: "Many thanks, dear. I've got the money. Your loving wife, Evelyn."—The Southwest. The Natural Result.

United States senators may talk solemnly to the effect that there are good business reasons for meeting at two o'clock every day instead of noon, but they cannot foot a certain Washington woman, who has her own ideas on the subject. This woman occupies a prominent place in society at the capital, in which senators are so common that they do not cut any more figure than debautantes. She was visiting the senate wing of the capitol, in company with some friends. It was about one o'clock in the afternoon, and as she happened to glance into the chamber, she noticed that it was vacant. "Has the senate adjourned already?" she asked, in surprise. "Oh, no," a man in the party said. "You know it meets at two o'clock now, in order to give the senators more time for committee work." "Ab, yes," she said. "I remember now; and it really is a very good idea. I have no doubt that it expedites public business wonderfully. It gives the senators plenty of time to shave, take a bath, dress, read the paper and eat breakfast—after having been up all night." **Food for Cats—and for Thought.** Said the hoboe: "I went around to a back door today and asked for something to eat. 'Madun, I said, if you want to lie down on the floor, your cat I will be satisfied.' If you want to lie around the burn and catch mice I haven't any objections,' she told me."—*Atchison Globe.* Killed by Falling Rock.

DEFENDER REPORTER OUTWITS NEWLYWEDS. Miss Lulu Bell and Mr. Elma N. Winborn were joined in the holy bonds of matrimony Wednesday night at the residence of Mrs. Deming, 3542 Wabash avenue, by Rev. J. Ford, a former pastor of Bethesda Baptist church, officiated, coming from Atlanta, Ga., for that purpose, as the bride was formerly a pupil in his Sunday school. Miss Mertie Collins was bridesmaid and Mr. Louis Hoggatt was best man. Among the out-of-town guests present were Mrs. P. Soloman, sister of the groom, Mrs. Stewart and Miss Wade, of South Bend, Ind. The bride and groom eluded the watchfulness of the assembled friends who were waiting to shower them with rice and fled out the back way. But imagine their astonishment when boarding the train to be showered with confetti by a Defender reporter, whom they thought was left behind with the other friends. Moral: Remember a taxi has the "I." beat at all times. ONE AMERICAN IDEA FAILS Tourists From This Country Form Only 8 Per Cent. of Those Who Visit Switzerland. We have been telling ourselves so long that our American tourists keep up the European hotels and that but for them Europe would become bankrupt, we have come to believe it. Some figures on the subject now come from Switzerland, the "Mecca" of all Americans after they have requeed their reward for virtue by visiting Paris. Swiss hotels entertain about two million tourists annually, and if those who stay at pension and boarding houses are included the number of guests reaches three million. Of this number 22 per cent, are the Swiss themselves. The Germans, who are often pictured as stay-at-homes, constitute 40 per cent, then come the English, 17 per cent; the French, 15 per cent, and the Americans, who, with their eight per cent, are only one per cent, all of the Italians. So, after all, it seems that Switzerland would not go to the wall if the Americans boycotted Europe long enough at least to see the wonders and beauties of the Grand Canyon, the Canadian Rockies, the Yellowstone, the Yosemite and Niagara Falls first. Can Defy Microbes. A doctor in Yokohama, Japan, has built himself a novel house with a view to guarding against microbes. The walls of this remarkable edifice are made of blocks of glass.

The windows are hermetically closed, and air is only admitted after passing through filters. Wanted to Be Exact. "Say, Lem," said a long haired farmer looking into the door of the barber shop, "how soon kin yer cut my hair?" "In about half an hour," replied the barber. "All right," he said and departed. In a few minutes the door opened again. "Say, Lem," used the farmer, "sun time er standert?"—Success. ! Bill Burns. Bill Burns, the former Washington twirler, who was recently purchased from Cincinnati by the Philadelphia Nationals, after Detroit failed to land him, is probably the sleepiest athlete who ever held down a berth in the big leagues. Bill has all others backed off the boards when it comes to taking mugs, and he is not in the least particular about the time he picks out for a snooze. It was because of this that Burns was put under suspension by Clarke Griffith and later sold to the Phillies. During a recent game at Boston the Cincinnati twirler in the box was not going good and Burns was sent for to warm up. He pitched three or four balls to a catcher and then went to the clubhouse and fell asleep. At Brooklyn he was sent out to warm up for Gaspar, and repeated the performance, falling asleep on the clubhouse steps. BENDER'S PLAN WAS UPSET Crack Athletic Pitcher Tells How Worst Ball He Pitched Won for New York Highlanders. "That only goes to show how a little thing will knock the starch out of baseball plans," sagely commented Chief Bender, talking about a game which he lost against Russell Ford in New York. "You know, Johnson had a three-bagger, and it looked as if we would be able to get him there. I figured on nailing Sweeney and Ford on strikes, then passing Wolter and getting Daniels. That would have left the Swede sticking on third. "I got the two strikes, all right, on Eddie. Then I gave him a ball that dropped down and out. It was as rotten a ball as you could find, almost hitting the ground as it broke. I thought he might swing at it and miss it, or else pass it along, and then I would stick a fast one across and get him. "Instead of that, Sweeney upcerrent the ball and smashed it on the fly to Danny Murphy. It was a sacrifice, all right, and Johnson came over. It was a clutch to get the next men. That we would have won the game, as we J Chief Bender. couldn't hit Russ Ford. But the game might have been different if Eddie Sweeney hadn't poked at the worst ball I fired all day. That's baseball for you. It is always a case of you never can tell." Likely Youngsters In Bushes. Bill Murray, the free lance scout for Pittsburgh, says there is not much of a yield in the bushes this year. "There are plenty of good young fellows to look over," says the veteran discoverer of baseball stars, "but what's the use? They have to be wonders to find room on a one, two, three team like Pittsburg, but the discoverer of Harry Davis, Fred Parent, Mike Doolan, George Gibson, Eddie Grant, Earl Moore and a dozen other lights does not deny that he already has covered up a clever pair for early inspection. Even during a game in which he is working, and where every other player is on edge because of the closeness of the combat, Burns does not change his tactics. During his career with Washington he pitched a game in Chicago in which the score stood 1 to 0 for the Nationals in the eighth inning. The players were on a tension watching every move, but while the Washington players were on the bench in the ninth Burns fell asleep and actually had to be aroused to pitch the final inning. Then he was so sleepy that the White Sox pounded him for two runs and won the game. Many Players "Beaned." "To be bean or not to bean, that is the question" among most of the American league pitchers at present. Hardly a box score is passed that at least one batter is not hit. Scattering Notes of the Diamond It looks as if Tenney has a pitcher in McTigue. "Can Mike Donlin come back?" is a baseball bromide. Ty Cobb believes that his brother Paul will make good. Mike Mowrey is developing into a murderer at the bat. Old Cy Young takes it as a joke that they have asked waivers on him. Walter Johnson is beginning to get back to his last year's speed. Bill Dahlen manages to draw fines, although he does not play any more. although he does not play any more. "Ebbots after players," reads, a newspaper headline. Brooklyn needs them. Young is playing a better third base for the Boston tazz than many old-timers. Stuffy McInnes of the Athletics has a brother pitching in the New England league. Ty Cob seems to be going after whatever the manufacturers have to offer this year. President Charles Somers of the Naps denies he is interested in the New Orleans club. Hal Chase expects Jim Vaughn to be as effective as ever, now that he is in condition again. Jerry Downs has been regarded as a failure on first base for Columbus and is shifted back to second. Jocko Halligan, the former Eastern league star, has been appointed scout for the Buffalo team. Hug Nicol, director of athletics at Purdue university, has been engaged to scout for the Cincinnati Reds. Christy Mathewson appears to be making pretty good, although he is said to have cut down his speed. Davy Jones of the Detroit Tigers has been beaten once and sent to first base three other times by belit him. Most baseball trades remind one of the magnate who traded his star for a yellow dog and then shot the dog. The campaign for earlier finishes brought a 50-minute advance in starting time for the St. Louis fans at Cardinals' park. Inside baseball: To take a pitcher who has hit for two safeties out of the game to make room for a pinch hitter who fans out. Hughie Duffy is keeping an eagle eye on the doings of the Providence club because he still owns a third interest in it. Joe Jackson is to become a highbrow player if the Cleveland management can assist him to that. He is going to college this winter. Gus Dundon, now utility man and pinch hitter for the Lincoln club of the Western league, but formerly of the Sox infield, is hitting around the .400 mark. Tom Jones, the veteran first baseman Detroit sold to Milwaukee last spring, is playing such good ball some major league club may be tempted to draft him again. WOULD SAVE TOWER Chicagoans Protest Against Razing of Historic Landmark. Great Pile of Masonry Which Survived the Disastrous Fire of 1871 Very Rich in Romance and Tradition. Chicago.—Shall the oldest landmark of the north side, a spot rich in tradition and romance, the only remaining monument of the time of Chicago's victory in her greatest struggle for life, be profaned by a city's commercialism and destroyed in the name of economy? Shall the silent sentinel of stone, the lily-mantled tower where sweet-hearts were wont to meet, where children played and heard wondrous stories of other days, be reduced to a shapeless mass of stone and scattered all over the city? Is it not possible to preserve the picturesque gray tower of the old Chicago avenue pumping station to posterity to serve as a memorial of the great fire of 1871? These are a few of the questions raised by scores of Chicagoans who had read of the plan to tear down the tower of the Chicago avenue pumping station in the interest of municipal economy. This ancient landmark stands at the foot of "Millionaire row." North of the famous old structure are the homes of the rich. Since 1867 the tower has stood as a constant reminder of the permanence of the work of the city's founders. Members of the Chicago Historical society joined in the storm of protest against tearing down the tower. They were unanimous in the sentiment that THE WATER TOWER Chicago Water Tower. this landmark should be preserved and made one of the show places of Chicago. When Chicago began to burn, the evening of October 8, 1871, terror stricken citizens fled north to the tower in the belief that the fire would be confined to a narrow district. The following day the fire reached the tower, burned about its base, destroying the machine shop and adjacent buildings. The plumbing engines were stopped and the walls of the engine house began to crumble. The roof and floors of the other buildings gave way, but the tower stood firm while the flames raced northward. The great pile of masonry was preserved when repairs were made, and since that day has been rich in tradition and romance. Many stories of the tower deal with the romances of some of the richest sons and daughters of Millionaires' row. An eloping couple is said to have been married at the top of the tower. In the days of old thousands of young men and maidens wandered up the stairway to the summit to plight their troth. The doors of the tower were locked long ago. The only magic key that will unlock the door is in the keeping of the city authorities. The city authorities hold now that disintegration has begun and that the tower must go. This theory is denied by members of the Chicago Historical society, who declare that the tower was built to stand 10,000 years and that there is no danger of its crumbling for generations. Hundreds of visitors gaze in awe at the old tower every day. Do: Don't Talk. Just do a thing and don't talk about it. This is the great secret of success in all enterprises.

It is surprising how a city man, fortunate in the possession of a garden about the size of a checker board, can spoil $28 worth of clothes planting 10 cents' worth of peas. The appearance of five aces in a poker game in Pennsylvania and the resultant death of three men, simply goes to show that a good thing sometimes can be carried too far. A New York boy found a certified check for $55,000 and was paid $1 reward when he returned it to its owner. Notwithstanding this, however, honesty is still the best policy. Returning from Asian jungles, a scientist announces that a man "with a tactful wife in a wild country can get along twice as well as a single man." Also in a tame country. "Weslth is no longer an open sesame to independence," wails a disappointed capitalist. Too true. Why, nowadays one cannot wear a silk hat and a short coat without being ridiculed! Just to make good the proud boast that every other city in the country is merely one of its suburbs, New York, a few days ago, sent a Pullman carload of its women to Reno to get divorces. It has now been demonstrated that a motorcycle comes off second best in a collision with an automobile. The question has interested many persons who have had to step lively in crossing the asphalt. A wife in Atlanta had her husband arrested because he refused to kiss her. Husbands are getting very fractions these days, and advanced femininity is finding it necessary to drive them back into harness. A government woman expert says that chickens kept in cold storage nine months or a year are more healthful than those fresh killed and kept 24 hours without refrigeration. It may be, but she will have a time convincing the ultimate consumer. New York supreme court has decreed that a bill collector must pursue his prey in apartment houses only by means of the dumb waiter. Formerly the bill collector was called upon to cope only with deafness, but now he is confronted with both the deaf and dumb. The heir to the East Indian throne of Baroda, who is a student at Harvard, had to work on his twenty-first birthday while his future subjects were celebrating it with holiday and festivity at home. This is but another instance of the modern way in which princes have to stand a great deal to keep their jobs. A Pullman car which was filled with New York women who wanted divorces arrived at Reno, Nev., a day or two ago. It may soon be necessary for the railroads to run divorce specials. Lawyers could be provided to draw up papers on the way so that everything would be ready for the immediate beginning of proceedings on reaching Reno. An auto lately got beyond control in New Jersey, ran wild and tried to get into two roadhouses before it was checked. This shows another danger arising from the innate deprivation of inanimate things, if anything so lively as a runaway motor car can be justly styled inanimate. If wild autos take to drinking in addition to their other traits, something desperate will have to be done. ```markdown ``` Is Your Earning Power income? ?

How often have we sat directly opposite a comely face in the street car, for instance, admiring its regular, well-formed features, when, with a certain turn of the person's head, the illusion of beauty suddenly vanished, the new view presented revealing contours of nose, chin and mouth disappointing in the extreme, says the Photo Era. The consoling feature, perhaps, is the ear, which, projecting abnormally in so many cases, now assumes an air of repose. Few faces will produce a profile of classic beauty, and even some of these fall to yield flattering full face portraits. This is one reason that one sees more front view portraits than profiles in painting and photography. Incidentally, it may be remarked that many a man would look better with his head presented in profile, if he wore a mustache instead of being smooth-shaven. Not only does it preserve the harmonious proportions designed by nature, but its removal, in obedience to fashion's decree, sometimes result in unpleasant disclosures, such as an abnormally long upper lip or an ill shaped mouth, besides imparting undue prominence to the nose. A possibly humorous phase of this subject is the report that patrons of marriage bureaus in large German cities now insist upon both fullface and profile photographs of their prospective consorts. The more one reflects on the good old spelling bee, the more enthusiastic one becomes. There were spellers, you know, in the days when our parents and grandparents stood up in opposing rows in the little red schoolhouse and were howled over, one after another, by "philistic" and "caudchouc" and "beccedarlan" and "gauge," and when much fame was acquired by those master intellects that always knew whether it was "nice" or "neice," "dying" or "dyeing," "judgment" or "judgement," and "judgeship" or "judgship." One of the kleptomaniacs has decided to submit to a surgical examination for the purpose of trying to be cured of the desire to take things that do not belong to him. Some of the Wall street financiers will regard it as a very dangerous experiment and pernicious precedent. Balkan brigands are holding a German scientist for a ransom of $90,000. If he ever lets loose c. them with a few volleys of the philosophy that he undoubtedly has stored up with him, they will be glad to let him go. An English physician tells us that singing a song will promote one's appetite, but it is likely to kill the appetite of one's neighbor. A good many prefer that a neighbor's singing be done mentally. A Chicago man died from the effects of tight shoes, and a Yonkers, N. Y., man was choked to death by a high collar. Life continues to be full of dangers. Philadelphia lady with a long hatpin accidentally brushed against a physician and caused him to lose an eye. Let us hope the lady and a few of her sisters see the point. There is a Chicago woman who wants to get rid of a husband whom she won on a bet. The moral is: Never bet. A Roman doctor says that work makes woman ugly. Mothers, however, continue to be the most beautiful women on earth. Willie Berril's Brooklyn playmates can never brag successfully about having had the measles, for Willie stepped in the president's soup.

Phone Aldine 566 And Interesting Happenings from Nearby Towns. A GOOD LESSON. Let All Who Wish to Keep Abreast with the Society News Watch this Column. By J. H. Arnqid, G. N. D. By Special Correspondent of Chicago Defender Our Mayflower Correspondent Lexington, Mo. July 7.—We are very proud to state to the world that Miss George Khel Johnson is our correspondent of Mayview, Mo. for the Defender. Miss Johnson is a beautiful, charming young lady, always ready and willing to do whatever she can for the uplift of a downtrudden race. Miss Johnson has such a sweet disposition, such loving manners, also she is very much beloved by both white and colored; she is very highly spoken of by every one. Her principles and character are all any one could expect of her. We, as a race, should feel proud of this beautiful young lady and the way she conducts herself. The most beautiful thing about Miss Johnson is her character. She is not puffed up like many of our good for nothing young men and women; neither does she keep company with all kinds of bad boys and girls. Some of our young boys took one sided of atillum and because she does not loaf around or all kinds of devilment like them, Miss Johnson is said to be a faithful, anest, kind-hearted Christian young and a great worker in the church at Sunday School. She is a youngdy worth speaking of; her ways, actions and conversations prove that she what she claims to be and some day his sweet, dearly beloved young lady all prove to the world that she is all he claims to be. Miss George E. Johnson is a young lady that stands in the community in high she lives. She is queen of lusciousville and Mayview. She is a friendly with every one she lives in contact with. She has many kinds in Mayview and Lexington he is very proud of her and wish or a success as correspondent of Defender. Miss Johnson, the race very proud of you and we hope you will all in your power that you can or the uplift of the race. We are ad and pleased to know that you do not associate with all kinds of low people. May you ever remain you are. Some day you will reach top; stand up and be counted as ... it, and some day the race will help. If any one can show us a yours, may that is any better beloved or stands any higher in the race and community than Miss G. E. Johnson, please report it and we will give you credit for so doing. What our race needs is many more such young ladies as our dearly beloved correspondent, Miss G. E. Johnson. Watch the Defender for the Mayview News. I have not said enough concerning Miss Johnson and will say more, about her later. And to those who are always lying about Miss Johnson I say to you that you are just killing time and wasting stamps and paper writing up untrue fuss about her. Miss Johnson is all right and I never will abuse her fair name; attend to your own business and there will be less trouble in the future. Miss Cordella Hayden, of Lexington, is another young lady the race is very proud of but I will tell you all about her later and don't try to pull the note out of your sister's or brother's eyes when you have a cam in your own. Forever may Miss Johnson be the queen of the city. Keep yourself unspotted from the world, as they are not our friends but our enemies. Truly yours, J. H. Arnold. Read the song about religion. It may help you in some way. RELIGION. Sung by Blind Harris Always talking about, others faults but don't forget your own a: For those who like him, a lot of glass should never cast a stone. II. You can see the mote in my eyes, and don't forget the mote in thine; A-watching after my business. And leaving yours behind. III. Don't be like dearful Judas, and don't forget a smile. As soon as the book is turned, Looking on him with an evil eye. IV. Don't be like Annanias, and don't forget a smile. Go to your brother's or sister's house And tell them a willful lie. V. Do you call that religion? No. No; Do you call that religion? No. Do you call that religion? No. Do not scornize my mum. VI. You take everybody that smiles at you In your bosom to be your friend; The way they will smile behind your back Will be a shameful sin. VII. The hardest bone I ever chewed! At home or abroad was from some Slave who was born of God. Who said they were born of God. Talk to Sulla about Polla or Jane Tell them not to call my name. For the rest of the test, But you know I have a cruel man. VIII. Doeth trust in Mother Mager's children, They will wind you up upheathing your lack They will wind you up upheathing your lack (Chorus should be sung for each verse.) How does this song strike you as a Christian? Lawn Social. The lawn social given at Zion Church was a success. A small crowd was present. Everybody had a fine time but sorry to say some of the boys and were using some mighty high-tech gadgets. His sweetheart hugged up in his arms kissing and hugging her on the church corner steps. The girl yelled like a heathen or wild cat. Time and blood will soon tell just what the end of some of our boys and girls will be is a pity, that you have so many s --- for nothing Zulus and heathens in our city. Some of our girls are too fast, so we would have been better bad they not even come to them. No good will ever come to them. Chicago Defender's Branch Office. I have been asked by some of my friends, both white and colored, to set up a branch office in Lexington; Mo., for the Chicago Defender. I would be very glad to do so if every colored family in our city would patronize and subscribe for the Defender and pay spot cash for it. We need a good branch office in Lexington as we have no colored news office in our city. All of the news of our city is published in the Defender. The people will do their duty towards utilizing and subscribing for this great newspaper, I will set up a branch office and have some good, honest person to assist me in the business. I will also carry in stock a large line of books containing the life and poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar and B. T. Washington. Every person that pays $1.75 for one year's subscription to the Defender will be given one of these books free of charge as a present. If you want a good, up-to-date branch office, dig down into your pockets and make up some dollar bills, as it takes money to do business with our correspondent, J. H. Arnold, will act as manager and editor of same. Do your duty and subscribe for the Defender and we will open up the branch office at once. Walker and Freeman Appointed. It has been reported that Misses Nannie Walker and Auline Freeman have been appointed as teachers of our public school of this city. Both are graduates of the Doughtlass school of Lexington and the University of Jefferson City and Quindarand, Kansas, and are prepared to accept the appointments. Miss Freeman has been teaching in Marsshall, Mo. Miss Walker in Mayview, Mo. Both are highly esteemed young ladies and are making good as school teachers. We all wish them a success in their new position and hope they will do all they can for the benefit and uplift of our race. Miss Pauline Blance is also making good as teacher of Slater, Mo. Miss Freeman will take charge of School No. 2 and Miss Walker will be successor to Miss A. M. Collins, of Doughschool No. 1. The young people of our city are not all asleep, and we need many more young ladies as Misses Blance. Freeman Walker. If this report is not true, don't blame the reporter as it was reported to him by a friend of the three young ladies. They are all beloved and highly respected young ladies and the race is more than proud of them; we are coming to the front. I would like to say more concerning these three young ladies but as I am in a rush at present I will say more of them in the future. Northern Cemetery. Last week I had a few articles published concerning the condition of our burying ground and I notice that some of the people are making a big fuss because I said the place looked like the jungles of Africa. Well, it does. If you don't believe my words are true just take your axes, and saw, and mowing blades out there and see for yourself. The trustees of our three churches are too trifling and lazy to call a meeting and have this place cleaned up. Prof. G. H. Green has tried his level best to have things put in the right condition but all in vain. What does the undertaker think of us colored people's burying ground? What would strangers think if they should visit that jungle, horrid looking place? There is no use kicking as what I have said is for the best interest of our race. No use having a graveyard if we can't going to keep it clean. If we cared anything about our departed friends and loved ones we, as a race, would keep things in a better shape. I don't believe the heathens in Africa would allow their burying ground to get into such bad condition; honestly, I believe God will hold us accountable for not doing our duty towards caring for our dead. It's up to you to decide whether or not this place shall be cleaned up or let it remain as it is. What will your answer be? The 4th of July. The union picnic was a success; a large crowd present; everybody had a high time. The young ladies' silver corner band of Independence, Mo., was one of the very best ever heard in our city. The young ladies certainly can render some very sweet music. We wish them to return to Lexington. The Independence Red Sox defeated the Lexington Giants' 4th team by a score of 15 to 11 at Taubman's Park, July 4th. Sick List.

Clark St. Something Like a Nerve The talk in the club had when he cool deeds on the battlefield, when a member who rarely spoke broke in on our conversation. "The coolest bit of nerve I ever saw, he drawled, "was when I was a Honorable Jimmy the Migrants with the Honorable Jimmy. It was raining, and as we turned the village street we skidded badly, then shot forward. Crashing into the little postoffice, we smashed the front of the shop clean through and knocked down the village postman. It was then that the Honorable Jimmy showed what he was made of. He jumped out of the car, and, advancing to the terrified girl behind the counter, he looked at the widest eye. "Two hundred men." Will Be Treated to Rare Articles Each Week from One of.

Callis will occupy the pulpit all day Sunday. We are preparing to have one of the grandest church outings at Tuxedo Park, Riverside, Ill., on the 28th of this month.

Tuxedo Park is one of the pleasantest outing points of the park and it has every thing to make it pleasant to climb and family outing.

A very pleasant meeting was held at the home, 3530 Forest Ave., July 5th and a much larger number than was expected as the day was extremely warm. It is very encouraging to the president to see the interest shown. We were delighted to have Mrs. E. L. Davis, our former president, who had just returned from a very enjoyable trip through Iowa and Illinois. She did not fail to remember us while away and backed the fruit of her homes just in a needy time, as she always did (15) dollars was given her for the home. Delegates were elected for the federation to be held in Monmouth, III., Aug. 15 to 18. Mrs. Jennifer, chairman of the committee on placing cards telling of the home and its location, in the various railway stations made a very favorable report and was asked to have a large picture of the home placed in the deport and was pleased to direct strangers to it for us. This is a step in the right direction and now that we have a matron who is really looking after and keeping the home in a good condition we are not ashamed to direct strangers to it, for we know they will receive the best of care. We have received several donations of bed linen and towels the past week. Mrs. Amanda Richardson, half dozen towels and one bed spread.

We were pleased to have Mrs. Addie Garnett, of Galesburg, with us. She was much pleased with our work here. NEXT THING IN ENTERPRISE Moving Picture Privilege at Fashionable International Wedding Should Sell for Good Sum. The promoter of sporting events had hardly seated himself in his modest office when a male person of unmistakably English-exterior opened the door and approached him affably. "Old chap!" said he, "I represent Lord Harduppe, old chap. I'm his manager and all that sore of—" "Lord Harduppe, who is to marry Miss Nitta-Butte, the American millionaire?" queried the promoter. "The same, old chap. The wedding takes place Tuesday. His lordship naturally could not call upon you in person, his arrangement that I make with you be quite satisfactory to him, I assume." "What's his lordship's game?" asked the promoter of sporting events. "Does he want to pull off a prize fight at his bachelor dinner, or what?" The manager of his lordship smiled mysteriously, drew his chair a bit closer to the other's and whispered a few words. "What!!" crited the promoter. "Not!" "Yes, really; upon my word, old chap!" said his visitor. "You shall have the full American rights. All his lorship asks is 10,000 down and 40 per cent, of the gross receipts. It's quite unprecedented old chap, that it's quite appropriate all that sort of thing; but his lorship needs the money, as you Americans say, and, really, it's such a pling chance, he can't afford to let it pass. It will be the easiest thing in the world, you know, to hide the machine among the flowers at the altar. Why, my word, old chap, you ought to be able to book this thing in every theater in your blooming country!" And thus, for the first time on record, he wrote a fine picture privilege at a fashionable international wedding.—Brooklyn Times. Costing the PILL There is an oblique way of restrep there off from the sharpness of the slightest. Nell's Financial Crisis "I wish to see the cashier," demanded Nellie sternly. "He's buzy just now," explained the teller. "Is it any thing I can do for you?" "It's something you did to me," she said coldly. "I must see the cashier." The teller sent a messenger to see the cashier and Nellie sat down to wait, her head held very high, and an angry fush on her pretty face. Presently the boy came back and she followed him into the glass-partitioned office. "What can I do for you, Miss Behman?" he asked, rising. "In difficulties already?" "My credit has been attacked by this bank," she said heatedly. "Your clerk would not pay my check; my very first check, and after I had told him, now it wore it to have a bank account. They were all going to open accounts with this bank, but they won't now." "I am sorry there has been trouble," he said diplomatically. "Perhaps there was some trouble with the signature. It sometimes happens with new accounts." "But isn't your clerk supposed to know my signature?" she persisted. "I thought they had to know the signatures." "Jordon is a very clever chap," he said. "Suppose you let me have the troublesome check." "It's the one I gave Berth Seymour for my club dues. Berth was over for lunch yesterday. I had the five dollars in my purse, but I thought it would help advertise the bank if I gave her a check." "Very thoughtful, I'm sure," he said gratefully, though his lips twitched a little. "Well, you see, father being a director, I ought to do all I can to help," she explained. "Berth stopped in to get it cashed and the man said he couldn't pay it." Stockton took the check and through the glass Nellie could see him comparing it with the big book in which she had written her signature the day before. It was with a perfectly grave face that he brought it back to her. It seems that you signed the register as "Helen Behman." he explained "This is signed 'Nell Behman.'" "Helen is so formal to your friends." she said. "Berth would think I was angry with her if I was to sign it." Helen. "I'd hate to hurt her feelings." "I can understand," he agreed. "But business has certain stern laws that must be obeyed. One of these is that checks must always be signed in one way. You cannot even change the style of capital letters you use. Had the teller cashed that check it might have cost him his position." Are they as mean as that?" she哭泣. "I surprise. 'I think it's horrid. I sign my letters all sorts of ways.'" "Checks are not quite the same thing," he reminded. "If you will draw another check I will get you the money and you can mail it to Miss Seymour." "I'll mail it one of your envelopes," she decided. "Then Berth can see how well I stand with the bank." He escorted her to the door when she was through, but all the afternoon he could see the golden head behind over his desk and when Richard Behman, a few days later, extended him an invitation to dinner, he was raised to the seventh heaven of delight. That dinner was the first of many Behman had always liked the young cashier, and was ghed to have him at the house. If Nell shared the sentiment he would not give such open exposition to her wave the Stockton went away with a happy heart, and is to be inferred that he was reasonably sure that she did not dislike him. Then came the financial crash. Nell burst into his office one morning and raised her vel to disclose a tear-stained face. "What are they going to do to me?" she demanded apprehensively. "I have the money. She held a roll of crumpled bills toward blim. "Did you steal it?" he 'gasped. "I stole it," she sobbed. "that is, I guess I did. I overdrew. I made the bank give me more money than I gave them and they wrote me about it. She held out the blank notification of an overdraft of five dollars and watched him while the smile crept over his face. "That's all right," he explained. "The bank knew you were good for it and they paid it out to save your check from protest. It's done every day. Your father put some money over to your account this morning and you're all right again." "And they won't arrest me." "It's not a crime. If we chose to pay an overdraft that's our account. You didn't steal." "And you didn't," she said with a suggestion of a sob. "I could not find father and I came right straight to you." "I glad of that," he said softly. "Now that you have come, may I keep you, Nell?" "I guess I'd better say yes," she said with a little attempt at a smile. "Perhaps with a father and a—a husband—in the banking business, I might keep 'hings straight." Blessing English Crops The quintet ceremony of blessing the crops was observed the other evening on the Earl of Graven's estate at Buley, in Northeast Warwickshire, says the London Dally Mall Meeting at the parish church, the farm where the farmers formed into procession and various well-known farms were visited.

There is a natural, simple and rather high-minded etiquette among children; also is there an unlovely and artificial etiquette among children who have heard and seen too much of an unlovely world; for children can be the worst of snobs. Some little girls, ten or twelve years old, daughters of a rich neighborhood, were found to be examining the petitcôtes of new children who ventured in their neighborhood to play. Unless their underclothes were band-made, they were not voted good enough to play in the established set. A child may be cruelly ostracized for some difference, some lack of clothing or appearance. Do you remember the little girl who used to bring blocks to the napkin to school to look at through lunch like the other children? But among unspoiled and natural children the child who is different need not suffer for any length of time. A strong character and a sweet temperament will win through any artificial barrier of circumstances.—The Designer. The Royal Oak.

THE CITY OF EVANSTON EFENDER'S BRANCH OFFICE, 621 GROVE ST., Miss Florence A. White, Reporter. Second Basilist Church. Second Baptist Church. The Missionary Society held a prayer service Sunday evening at 7 o'clock. The regular meeting Monday evening was well attended. The members seem to take great interest in the society. Quite a number of visitors were present. The members certainly enjoyed the presence of Sister N. Branch. The society meets every Monday evening. Visitors are cordially invited. Mrs. J. M. S. Van Blurek, who has spent some time in Africa, and has had wide experience as a missionary, will speak at the Second Baptist Church, Sunday morning, July 9, at the 11 o'clock service. Rev. W. H. Powell of the M. E. Church, Dorchester, Boston, Mass., says: Mrs. Van Blileng has a Christian message which she presents in a most tender way, simple, plain, sweet spirted, from the heart, and it is sure to reach the heart as well as the mind. The Sunday School choir will meet for practice on Friday afternoon for practice on Friday afternoon. The members should remember that the money for which the trustees are asking is very much needed. It must be raised. It is certainly wise to keep the property well insured, and we know that the assessments must be paid. Our Sunday School holds up well. The pastor and wife ate dinner with Mr. and Mrs. J. Ivester, Sunday, July 2. Everyday Christianity. A large-per cent of church people give God out of fear. That is, they fear that if they don't serve Him they will be visited with some kind of punishment. This is the wrong attitude in which to look in doing service for the Almighty. --- No undertaking, great or small, can reach the highest success of the participants are forced to net through fear. While, on the other hand, untold success has been achieved in many avenues of life because of the fact that those who acted loved that particular undertaking. The child who obeys his parents out of love and respect makes a far better citizen than the child who obeys through fear of punishment. The soldier who serves his country out of love makes a far braver warrior than the soldier who is forced to the front. So it is with God. The persons who serve God with all heart, mind and soul out of love makes a far better Christian than the persons who serve Him for fear he will visit them with punishment. So many persons use their religion as they do their Sunday clothes—only Sunday. In order to serve God with heart, mind and soul you must serve Him every day. And I am one of those who believe that it takes a strong, healthy, vigorous body to serve the Almighty in the best way. While I believe some persons are saved by death-bed confession, still I don't believe that those kind of persons serve God with all mind and soul, as He would have them serve Him. While, on the other hand, there are persons who believe that unless you make a death-bed confession, unless you have some "last words" as they call them, your soul is not saved. I remember well at the death of my father that the first thing the people would ask as they entered home was: "What was his last words." Some of them would ask this question without saying, "Good morning or good evening," so afraid they would forget to ask them. Fortunately, however, my father uttered some very strong words just before breathing his last, and as soon as the visitors would find this out then they were satisfied and would manage to say: "Well, how do you all feel today." And everybody seemed to feel that just on the strength of these last few words my father was saved, but they did not stop to look at the clear Christian life that he had led for so many years, and then measure him for his service to God. My friends, last words are all right, but learn first to live right, and when it comes to dying there will be no question as to your dying right. (Continued in next week's issue.) Ebenezer A. M. E.

Zion Sunday School held their picnic at Glencoe Tuesday, July 4. A large number attended and report a pleasant outing. Services Sunday at usual hours. On Tuesday, July 4, 1911, a great civic meeting was held at Farwell Field, Lake Forest, IL, under the auspices of Lake County Civic League. All day the crowds thronged the grounds. At 3:30 Hon. W. T. Vernon was booked to speak and the people were very much disappointed when Rev. H. E. Johnson announced that Mr. Vernon had not arrived and no word had been received from him. However, Rev. A. J. Carey, pastor of Institutional Church, Chicago, was present and Rev. Johnson called on him. Rev. Carey was greeted with rounds of applause and in his usual pleasing manner held the audience spellbound with his eloquence and wit. Rev. Carey said in part in viewing the parade today: I saw all nations represented by a float. In vain I looked for one from the Afro-American race, then looking at the program I saw where the celebrations were booked, and down the line I saw "Mosley Park" was set aside for the colored people and not caring to take part in a Jim Crow celebration I got just as far away from it as I could; hence, my coming to Lake Forest. Rev. Carey delivered an eloquent address and was more than a substitute for the Hon. H. T. Vernon. Baseball was one of the features of the day. Music was furnished by Cadet K. of P. Band.

Death continues to take frightful toll of the bird men. Last week's weather was splendidly adapted to frying eggs. Sometimes the straw bond shows which way the wind blows.

Beside helping to exterminate a foe to munkind, swatting the fly affords good exercise. It strikes us that Dr. Grant, who declared the Jonah tale a myth, is not a fisherman. "Big feet, good understanding," is a new maxim that is widely accepted in the wild west. The inventor of dynamite never intended that it should take the place of the earthquake. Still, if chorus girls get in the habit of carrying pistols, won't it discourage the millionaires? For the benefit of the plenckers let is remark that sand in the food is not necessarily unhealthful. News comes that the chauffeurs of of Paris have struck. But it does not mention whom they struck. Lots of joy riders realize after the accident that they would have got there quicker by slow freight. It is declared that women live longer than men. That is probably the reason there are so many widows. Marriages are not made in heaven, according to a Chicago highbrow. At any rate, they are unmade in Reno. Despite the weather, this appears to be a normal summer. The sea serpent has often giving seances again. An old bachelor is a man who has fallen into the habit of counting a hundred before making up his mind. The doctors have condemned the old oaken bucket.

How inappropriate the name will seem if she is ever called upon to go into battle. The city person may prate about the opulent farmer who rides hither and yon in his motor car, but he would hesitate before following a plow in this weather. A Massachusetts preacher says gray hair is a punishment for sin. This is probably the corollary of that other theory that baldness is a sign of early platy. That man why played a piano 38 hours without stopping may have broken the world's endurance record, but he would be a mighty inharmontous chap to have for a neighbor. A London doctor of high standing says that singing a song before a meal is the best all-around tonic available to modern man. But that tonic would create an uproar in a restaurant. Accidents cannot and will not deter the aviators. With such prizes before them they will continue to risk their own lives and the lives of others in their efforts to become masters of the air.

There is a young woman who had to pay a duty on her dog when she brought it back to this country. She is an actress and the poor girl got her name into all the newspapers on account of the distressing incident. Ribbon Bedroom Slippers Are the Latest—Dainty and Attractive Footwear. Pretty as are the ribbon mules that were first seen a little more than a year ago, the new ribbon bedroom slippers are even more attractive. They are made in much the same way as the mules, save that the ribbon, instead of simply forming a hood for the front of the foot, must form a slipper for the heel as well as for the toes. First of all a pair of slipper sores must be purchased of correct size for the fortunate being who is to receive the slippers as a gift. These slipper sores may be found in two different styles. One of these is the wool sole, suitable for winter, and which, if it is not to be uncomfortably warm, must be covered over with a piece of ribbon or satin. The other sole is covered with felt wadded satin, but is not so soft as the first, and is essential for summer. Ribbon about four inches in width is then bought and sewed with overhand stitch all round the outer edge of the sole, just a small amount of fulness being left about the front. The seam, of course, comes in the back. About an inch from the top edge the ribbon is then gathered in fairly tight to an elastic, the inch of material thus forming a ruche about the instep. With a pretty rosette of flowers or ribbon the slipper is then complete. That it may wear well it is advisable to provide only a good quality of ribbon, and a heavy quality at that, and if the slipper is to be really durable the ribbon should be lined with silk or satin. Needless to state, the sole of the slipper and the ribbon employed must be of the same shade, unless a flowered ribbon is used, in which case the lining of the ribbon and the cover of the sole are of the same delicate shade of pink, blue or mauve, as the case may be. A narrow hat elastic is best to use about the instep, as a thin cord elastic will not hold. WASHING THE CHAMOIS GLOVE Great Care to Be Exercised if the Operation Is to Be in Any Way Successful. In washing chamois gloves do not wring them or even squeeze dry, as with ordinary glove cleaning. The skins pull easily and wringing breaks the tender fabric. Put the rinsed gloves into a thick Turkish towel and press out most of the moisture, then hang them in a strong current of air to dry. Fasten the pair together by buttons and hang with fingers down. The shrinking, of which many women complain in chamois glove washing, can be overcome by drying the gloves on the hand, after they come from the Turkish towel and a few minutes' airing. A pair of glove trees, however, also precludes shrinking. Rub gently until dry. The heat of the hand makes this drying a quicker process than most women imagine and there is little danger of taking cold. Do not neglect rinsing as well as washing in soapy water if you do not wish your gloves to stiffen. But by leaving the soap in the color of the gloves is much improved and the stiffness soon wears off. HAT OF NAVY BLUE CHIP. The brim covered with lace, and crown of white lilies. EMBROIDERY HOLDS ITS OWN Really Plays More Important Part Than Ever in the Costumes of the Day. Embroidery plays an important part in the fashions of this year. First and foremost is the English eyelet embroidery, which is effective and smart. There are many different grades of it as regards expense, and any woman who is clever at embroidery can make what she wants in the way of trimming. It is also an embroidery in which imitation of the best quality is marvelously like the real. There are also many colored embroideries on white. These are woven on the order of all-over lace. A fascinating little frock is of white with blue embroidery and combined with plain blue. In the pattern robes, which often can be bought at surprisingly low cost, there are many good colorings and excellent designs especially well adapted to this fashion—Harper's Bazar. Embroidered Linen Sets. Very attractive coat and dress sets consisting of square, rounded and pointed back collars, with cuffs to match, have been brought out in white linen embroidered in hand effect and with fancy scalloped edges. A new form of the scalloped edge in which the scallops are not round,but square, is being featured on these, says the Dry Goods Economist. Many of the numbers are showing inset medallions of imitation Venise and Irish. WHEN GARMENTS HANG SET OF SLIPS TO PROTECT DRESSES FROM DUST. Really Sensible Gift That Any Girl Can Make—Dimity About the Best Material That Can Be Used. An attractive though simple gift, which a girl is fashioning herself for her grandmother, consists of a set of slips to go over dresses to protect them from dust when hanging. The materials used is dimity, as it is wide enough to make one width sufficient for each slip. Were silk employed it would be necessary to have a seam through the middle—not necessarily objectionable, but more work to make. As many of the patterns which come is dimity are dainty and pretty, the cotton stuff suits the purpose admirably. The slip consists of one piece, two yards long. It is folded across the middle and directly in the center of the fold a circle is cut out to correspond to a neck. The best method of getting this correct is to cut a paper disc by laying a plate down for a pattern. When the paper is folded in two it will make a semi-circle. This, laid on the fold of the dimity, two straight edges being together, makes the pattern for the circle, which should be done with sharp scissors that the material shall not pull. Muslim heading, two inches wide, having slits through which to run ribbon, is cut into lengths to fit the round hole and the beading is whipped on precisely as though it were a lingerie collar. Ribbon chosen to run through and tie in a pretty bow should match in color one of the effects appearing in the dimity pattern. The ribbon should not be put in, however, until all the sewing is done. The neck completed, the two edges of the dimity are brought evenly together and seamed, either by hand or on a machine. The raw edges across the bottom of course require hemming and then the slip is complete. It is used by putting the hook of the hanger on which the garment is suspended through the hole or neck of the slip. The cover is wide enough to permit of its going easily over the waist and by its presence dust is prevented from gathering on the shoulders. Another slip for the same purpose is formed by a square. It is necessary to have two widths of dimity for this, or a half square. The raw edges are feather stitched and the place for the neck is cut in the middle as in the first model. For her grandmother's cases the girl has chosen a delicate heliotrope pattern, using heliotrope ribbons. Novel Idea That Gives Effective Touch to Almost Any Kind of Bodice. Because the bolero is so much in fashion among the exclusives, the bodies are now made with a wide tuck in them, put above the edge of the high waist band of the skirt. This tuck may be pined or faced with another material if desired. The effect is much like that of a short bolero jacket just reaching the top of the princess skirt. Sometimes the tuck is made of the material of the skirt if the bodice is of another fabric. Again it is made of the same stuff that trims the skirt. For instance, a one-piece serge suit that has folds of black silk on the skirt has a two-inch tuck of black silk on the bodice just above the waist line. There is a wide sailor collar of Venetian lace bound with black silk and a chemisette of white net; it is easy to see just how this gown gives the appearance of a short jacket with a net bodice and a separate skirt. MATERIALS THAT ARE USED Combinations Are Much Seen in Costumes Turned Out for This Season's Wear. Combinations of materials are much seen. In tailored suits, tunic skirts show the peticoat or underskirt, the jacket and the tunic of one material. The second material is employed for the collar, cuff and revers facing. Deep collar and revers facings of black velvet are used on light tailored suits, and two colors of one material contrasting tones are united in a simple suit. The always popular combination of blue serge and black satin is again used. In a blue serge suit a tunic of blue serge passes around the figure and over a sash drapery of black satin which forms the back panel. Feathers Still Worn. In spite of rumors to the contrary, this is a season of ostrich plumes and fancy ostrich feathers. Many of the smartest hats are trimmed with fancy ostrich bands and feathers made up in the form of two long, straight quills. In some instances the ostrich bands are split, and used as a finish or the edge of the brim on both the upper and lower sides. Emerald green, coral, royal blue, purple, and white are among the modish shades for these garnitures. These fancy feathers are really rather inexpensive as compared with the cost of the uncurled French tips and plumes which, though very ultra, are almost prohibitive in price to the average pocketbook—Hargaryn Bazar.
