Very interesting papers were read on this topic by the following delegates: from Connerville, Ind.; from St. Mark's, city; from Mr. Roberts of Newcastle, Ind., and by Miss Lula B. Jones, the delegate from Cementville, Ind. The other question which created so much interest was: "Should We Discourage the Coming of Our Young People to the City?" The negative side of this question was ably discussed in a paper by the Epworth League delegate from St. Mark's, city. The affirmative side was very ably discussed by the delegates from Newcastle, Ind., Miss Hazel Holland, and from Cementville, Ind., Miss L. B. Jones. Each of the three papers on this topic was so interesting that a motion prevailed to have them printed in the Southwestern Christian Advocate. UNITED STATES MAIL CARRIER REFUSED IN RESTAURANT He Thereupon Cleans It Out and Will Feeling tired and hungry from a hard day's jaint in his mail cart, Postman Bateman dropped into Powers' much Room, 204 'East Third-firth street, gave his order which the waiter and came back with it full of. Why! said Mr. Bateman, you over a cup of salt in this oat, lifting up a tablespoonful from a heavy coating of milk. The ter said: "Well, you don't look like it; then keep out of here and the rest of you Niggers can do the same. Remember I am from Mississippi and we don't allow you Niggers to come around; and—rap, went a cup with a thud against the young rebel's head. He fell and the rest of the patrons hiked out. In a moment came the proprietor who demanded an explanation, who after telling him the trouble said well, Niggers should not go to places you are not wanted. Mr. Bateman said we did not want to go to Cuba, but Uncle Sam made us go, so now we feel that we are citizens and will go into every public place under the stars and stripes, even in the south. Dr. David Downey, L. D., corresponding secretary, and Dr. Edgar Blake, D. D., assistant corresponding secretary, both representatives of the Sunday School Board of the M. E. Church, were present on Thursday afternoon. Rev. M. C. B. Mason lectured at the Friendship Baptist Church on Friday evening. Most of the conference business was finished on Saturday morning and the delegation took an outing to Lincoln Park and a trip on the lake. The preachers were assigned to different churches in the city to fill their pulps on Sunday. The news of the trouble got to Armour post office, and it is sald some one of the head men in the office tried to coerce Mr. Bateman about the matter whenupon he said if I must lose my job at the hand of Unch. Sam for being a man then I will lose; you just go and attend to your business and since this is not official just keep out. I am man enough to look out for Bateman. The Defender is glad to announce that the young Negro rather chose death than be scullion for any man; no government can exist where some of its citizens are privileged and some are not. The civil rights law on the statutes books of Illinois must not be ignored, our men must guard it with their lives for the sake of coming generations and for the true protection of the Stars and Stripes.

PROVIDENT HOSPITAL BENEFIT Base Ball Game EARLY IN AUGUST Watch for Date and Place of Game China to Have Alrshina. CHICAGO,ILL.,SATURDAY,JULY 22,1911. MRS. GEORGE FOREMAN EN- LARGES BUSINESS. There are very few business women in Chicago who can lay claim to the distinction of running business, and when such a woman as this comes to light, it is a great pleasure for the Defender to give her name to the four winds of the ear.... Her lunch room at number 8 West 35th street is responsible for all the growth that this little woman has made, for she stood by the side of her husband day and night and hammered away at business until today they invite you to their new place of business, "The Ideal," at 13 East 35th street, where they will run a first class restaurant with everything that goes to make a pleasing place and a desirable place to eat. Mrs. Foreman informs us that she will sell just like the other restaurants in the city; that is to say, when you order a glass of milk and a piece of pie, which costs ten cents, a great many of our restaurants give you a small tumbler of milk, but she says she will give a regular lemonade glass full, just as you get' in the white restaurants all over the city. The location of this restaurant is right under the 35th street "L" station and right on the 35th street surface line and just a half block from the State street car line and transfer corner, making it convenient for those who are in a hurry to eat and then get a car without walking a block or more to get a car downtown or elsewhere. The large fifty-foot plate glass and white front and interior make a rich place for one to spend an hour or so from church or theater for a dinner. She will have game and sea food as well as fruit in their seasons, and the service will be so perfect that no one can make a complaint. When seen on Friday by our reporter and asked what she intended to do with her 38th street house, she said: "Why, I will keep that, of course, for that place is my heart; it's the old bridge that took us across and 'George' will take care of that while I hold swait at this, our new place." They invite all their friends to be at their grand opening on today and Sunday. Apple cobbler will be served there just as is being done at their old stand. The place is "The ideal," 13 East 35th street. FREDERICK DOUGLASS CENTER 3032 WABASH AVE. Sunday, July 23, at 4 p. m., the Pandora club will render the program, Mrs. Charles R. Lewis presiding.

Mrs. Katie Glass-Brothers, Montgomery, Ala., Defender correspondent, will be given a musical shortly by her friend, Mrs. Rittle Carter, 3426 Prairie avenue. All arrangements have been made and bids are almost ready to be mailed. Mrs. Brothers, while not largely known in Chicago personally, the citizens of Montgomery and many others know her from her witty articles written from the south under the caption of "The Confederate Capital." Friday evening she was entertained with an auto trip of 100 miles about the city parks and boulevards. Many of her home friends have called to see her and her time is all taken with up-to-date dinners, tea parties and ball games. She will make the above number her home until she leaves the city, after having spent a week with her friends, Mr. and Mrs. Wood. BETHEL CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY. The fifteenth anniversary of the founding of Bethel A. M. E. Church is being celebrated this week. Each night programs of exceptionally high order have been given, the speakers being of many denominations. Bethel church is one of the leading churches of the connection and has always been a power in this community. The Defender congratulates Dr. Roberts and the members of the church upon the great work which they have accomplished and trusts that the future holds even brighter prospects. GREAT FIVE-ACT DRAMA FOR CHICAGO'S SOCIETY The first production in Chicago of the five-act melodrama, entitled "Tallabo or Swept by Fire to Fame and Fortune," written by N. R. Harper, Louisville, Ky., will be staged in August by some of Chicago's best dramatic artists. The play deals with the better class of the negro of today, and made a decided hit for six nights last June in Louisville. Watch the columns of this paper for advertisements. Act passed good inspection by Defender representative, who has had 15 years on stage in America and Europe. SOUNDING FOR FOUNDATION FOR Y. M. C. A. BUILDING. Last Tuesday a corps of men were busily engaged sounding for the foundation upon which to build the new building. A reporter for the Defender was the only paper represented during the finding. Its Clubs and Business Interests are Beginning to Wake Up. The Long Waited for Hotel has Appeared, but There are Many More Things to Learn and Do Before We Can Catch up with Chicago. TOO MANY SPORTS IN TOWN. We Want Our Young Men to Save Their Earnings, Buy Homes and Marry, Get Good Educations, Learn Trades as the Boy in the South Does. Loud Laughing and Talking on the Street a Thing of the Past Here. By A. W. Abrama. Special to the Chicago Defender. South Bend, Ind., July 21.—"Musl clans of Bend and of the past." Enviable indeed is the lot of contemporary composers and striking is the contrast between their treatment by the public and that of their predecessors by the people of their respective periods. Of the struggle and privations of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Wagner we have all seen and heard them each. With a mere allusion to them we pass to the case of Elgar, whose first violin concerts, for months awaited with eager interest, has just been performed in London. We are assured by the critics, quoted in a cable, that the work is a masterpiece, a flawless gem, an epoch making addition to musical literature. We are prepared to believe it, since Elgars symphony placed him among the composers of the first rank and demonstrated his ability to write serious, noble, inspiring music. But what appreciation and gratitude, to say nothing of material rewards, have been lavished on Elgar! His symphony has already been played everywhere and more than once it has been played, five times, while in London the number is near twenty-five. Composers may be sincere, during revolutions true to their highest ideals, without sacrificing either money or fame. Are we getting progressive and enlightened? Free *dandry*, or is the music loving public growing too large to be controlled by any school or dogma? At any rate ours is a golden age for musicians of originality, power, genius, or even fair talent. Superior pessimists who see nothing but commercialism and materialism in the modern world, are driven to make an exception of music and that is a very big exception, indeed. Mrs. Emma Hickman of 302 North Walnut street, entertained Mr. and Mrs. Alston to a buffet luncheon July 14. Music and bridge were the entertaining features of the evening. Mr. and Mrs. Alston left Monday for Colorado Springs, where they will remain for a month, then to Salt Lake City, where they will make their future home. They many friends wish them a happy sojourn in their new home. Mrs. Virginia Perry of Marion was in the city Sunday visiting friends and relatives. Mr. A. D. Kinchlow left Monday for Ridgeway, O., where he will join his wife. They will make Ohio their future home. We wish them success in their new home. There was an over run of excursionists Sunday from Grand Rapids. Mrs. Jennie Hayes and son Guy were the guests of her sister, Mrs. Jennie Anderson of 917 West Napler street. Mr. Robert Brewer of Indianapolis spent Sunday in the city. He was the house guest of the Donlon hotel. The adult choir, being reorganized, highly complimented themselves. The numbers rendered Sunday were splendid. Mr. McGriff has purchased a beautiful home at 1119 East Sorin street. Mrs. Hattie Doughtyher of Franklin, Ind., state orator of the Calanthe Court, was in the city last week. She was the house guest of Mrs. Cora B. Ash. Rev. Joseph M. Evans delivered an excellent sermon Sunday to a large congregation, his text being taken from Genesis 18:14. The subject was wonderfully handled. He spoke in part and said there was "nothing too hard for God." Dr. H. S. Cohen, M. D., 369 Third street, Milwaukee, Wis., is in the city in the interests of the Cohen Medicine Company. He is contemplating opening up a branch office in this city which we hope will succeed. In Dr. Cohen we have one of the greatest colored specialists in America. Meet him while he is in the city and consult him about your case. IN AFRICA, SEEKS DIVORCE FROM CHICAGO WOMAN. (Special Cablegram to Defender.) Keta, Gold Coast, West Africa, July 21. On June 19 one W. E. Shaw was seeking the courts here to get a divorce from his wife in Chicago, III. Mr. Shaw is a business man here and is a power in the city. His holdings are large and owing to strained family relations, he is desirous of freeing himself. MR. NOAH DAVIS THOMPSON AT WORK. A corner in the Circulation Division of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, through which the Tuskegee Student and several other papers and periodicals of the school are circulated all over the world. A noted Chicagoan at its head. MR. NOAH D. THOMPSON IN CITY. We have in our midst for a short period Mr. Noah D. Thompson, a former Chicagoan, who is now engaged as the circulation manager of Tuskegee Institute, of which Booker T. Washington is principal. So much can be truthfully said of Mr. Thompson as a progressive, race loving man that one scarcely knows where to begin to tell of the many evidences of his love for his race and the many good things he has done to increase our opportunities and the helpful encouragement he always gives to all who are ambitious here and everywhere. We dare say that there is not a Negro in Chicago who has done as much as Mr. Thompson has to open up the way so Negroes in large numbers could find steady employment in the business center of the city. Many of our race who are filling positions in our large commercial houses and elsewhere as errand boys and girls porters, maids, elevator conductors and clerks should know that but for the exertions put forth by Mr. Thompson during his citizenship here their positions may now be filled by white persons instead of Negroes. Just how Mr. Thompson worked in order to hold and create so many places for his people would make a long and a very interesting story which we hope some day to be able to tell. It is very gratifying for us to know that although Mr. Thompson is now engaged as the circulation manager of the great Tuskegee institute and although he lives away down there in the black belt of Alabama, his influence for good to his race is still manifested here in Chicago. It is a common thing here to hear our successful business men and women speak of Mr. Thompson as the one Negro of influence who does much to aid and encourage them in their struggles for success. It is often said here and elsewhere that one of the secrets of Booker T. Washington's great success is his ability to look the country over and select assistants who "can do things," and not the least among his many able race loving assistants and advisers is Mr. Noah Davis Thompson, who gave up one of the best commercial positions held by any Negro in the country to assist him in his wonderful work of upbuilding a race. While here Mr. Thompson is doing some special work for the institute and it is our hope that he will find time to shake the hands of his many friends, who rejoice with us in the success he is making in his new field of endeavor. While here Mr. Thompson is the guest of his sister, Mrs. Mary A. Williams. Y. M. C. A. HOLDS MEETING ON BUILDING LOT. On last Sunday at 6 p.m. the South Side Department, Y. M. C. A., hold an open air meeting on the site for its building, East 38th street and South Wabash avenue. The weather was all that could be desired—no rain, clear and cool. There were about 250 persons present. The entire Sunday meeting equipment of the department had been taken to the site—organ, song books, Bibles, etc.—the ground cleared and platform erected. Mr. Morris Lewis, secretary of the department, presided. Mr. J. W. Fisher, who was chairman of the Young Men's Committee, of the campaign, conducted the song service. The speakers were Rev. E. T. Martin, pastor of Bethesda Baptist Church; Prof. Benjamin Washington, member of the board of directors, Colored Branch, Y. M. C. A., Washington, D. C., and Mr. L. Wilbur Messer, general secretary, Y. M. C. A. of Chicago. Prayer was offered by Rev. H. E. Callis, pastor Walters Zion Church. The meeting was designed for a revival of interest in this excellent project and it is the hope of every one that those who have subscribed to the fund will call at the office, 3330 South State street, and make payment in full or on account. THE FLAT FOR RENT. We have been informed that the flat for rent to a particular colored people is owned by a medical doctor, but the parties won't tell his name. The world is a commercial stage, free to all who have "the goods." Decoration Day Eviction Scenes About to Be Enacted—Attorney W. L. Martin, Thomas Wallace Swan and Mrs. Ella Martin Must Show the State Why They Can Keep a Man's House a Year or More Without Paying Rent—This Case Most Celebrated in City. ATTORNEY W. L. MARTIN DEFIES THE LAW AND ALL ITS AGENTS. The Fight Has Just Begun, Says Attorney—"I Will Show the People That I Know the Law"—Mrs. Martin Hears of Indictment and Gives Sel Up to Sheriff—Mr. Swan Not So Fortunate—Attorney W. L. Martin Keeps Out of Sheriff's Way Until Bonds Are Arranged For, Then Gives Up His Clients and the Herd of Men Who Moved His Client Into 3666 Forest-Avenue on Decoration Day. Tuesday afternoon a great big man (white), looking like John L. Sullivan, appeared before a reporter of the Defender, in Thirty-sixth block on Forest avenue, about 5:45 and asked if he knew a lady by the name of Mrs. Ella Martin. A kind of suspicion went over our reporter and he told him he knew a Mrs. Martin but did not know her first name, asking didn't he know her address, and when told he said, why it was farther up the street. The men looked so much like the law that our reporter began to follow him. Finally the men started for State street, and here the cat was let out of the bag, when the reporter caught sight of an Indictment numbered 3365 with Thos. Wallace Swam, then came a little brain work. We knew that Mr. Swam stood too high in the community to have any serious trouble attached to him, so we put the two people together and figured that it was about the house renting affair with Mrs. Martin. Going to Mr. Binga's office to try to learn some facts, he would not be interviewed, one way or another, and finally to get rid of our reporters, he jumped into his red auto and beat it to parts unknown, but we got back on the trail of the sheriff and found out that Attorney Martin and all his clients and even his heavy men were held over to the criminal court for the reentering the premises of Mr. Jesse Binga's property at 3666 Forest avenue on Decoration Day. The state's attorney has taken a hand and it looks now that somebody will be scratching their heads for more law before the fight is over. Mrs. Martin does not seem to be bothered as she is said to still be entertaining the 400 and is making great preparations for the coming of some swell friends from Washington, who are anxious to witness the great military tournament in Grant Park on the lake front next week. Looking the matter squarely in the face, we would ask the question, how can any race rise under such conditions; we wonder if any one would do RACE WOMEN REFUSE AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE BECAUSE COMPANY WOULD NOT EMPLOY COLORED AGENTS NOR ADVERTISE IN THEIR RACE PAPERS. A committee of ladies representing something like 3,000 in the various parts of the city dropped into the Defender's office this week with 20 copies of different foreign and domestic (white) papers, and after speaking about the automatic company not having colored agents, went on to show the above mentioned papers which carried ads and wanted to know why their paper did not have an ad in it. These ladies have banded themselves together and are getting other race women to join them to fight a corporation that has gotten an opportunity to do business through the entire efforts of the citizens and then turn around and refuse to give them in return work for their children. They have banded together to war on the elevated and city railway com If you see it in The Defender it is so INCT JURNEY AND CLIENTS About to Be Enacted—Attorney Place Swan and Mrs. Ella Martin They Can Keep a Man's House a ing Rent—This Case Most Cele DEFIES THE LAW AND ALL GENTS. Jurney—"I Will Show the People That Hears of Indictment and Gives Seh Fortunate—Attorney W. L. Martin Bonds Are Arranged For, Then Gives Men Who Moved His Client Into 3666 a white real estate dealer this way. Do you know of a case? Defender reporters have scoured the town to get facts along this line but have been unable to find a single case where a member of the race has even attempted to take advantage of a moral trust or obligation of a white dealer. It seems such a pity for these lovable people who stand in the foremost ranks of society, and who know the hardships of their race, to set an example like this before the class who need a better incite of the things of life. We hope our best citizens are not losing their heads in the mad rush for notoriety and the continued pulling down of our progress which we have been building for the past fifty years. Let us not have the world laughing at us, for sticking together, let us not have the world to continue to laugh at us for not patronizing our men in business, like the common herd of Negroes around Thirty-first street who can see no virtue in anything done or made by a member of their race. Numbers of neighbors of Mrs. Martin have said in the hearing of Defender reporters that after she had lived in the house a year, and after she had shown how "she could come back" on Decoration day and have a pink tea at night that that should have satisfied her as they were all pleased to see how game she was but at this last attack, in the face of even the house-laugh she gave our only banker, and the only real estate man who is employing our girls, six in number, and about 75 sanitors and carpenters and other trade men, all humor was gone, and they ask the question, will the race ever get together? One lady said, while I don't care two straws for Jesse Bing, and would not rent from him on his tint type, I believe in giving the devil his dues; I don't agree with any member of the race who is doing things for our advancement, to try to pull him down in the dust. Let us get busy and make employment for our young and stop being like the crab that Booker T. Washington speaks of. --- panies for guards, motormen and conductors. The Defender is with them and will carry the fight into the corporation's corner. WILL THE CHICAGO NEGRO OPE HIS EYES. Mayor Harrison has placed both h fingers in the eyes of the Negroes; you will say he is a democrat, well Mayor Busse, a republican, did the same thing. Neither of the "fair minded American citizens place a Negro on the school board? Why? Because you will not protest, you leave everything in the hands of God. Get busy, call an indignation for such a this. Clean before your own door. Every nation that hold property and have a bulk vote have a representative, a white man said in speaking of the Negroes on Thirty-first and State streets, and the same apply, they are like a lot of mules, one white man can lead 10,000 and every one of them will give him his last penny and then grin like a lot of apes—is this true? PHILLIAM P. PENNAM CO. IN THE RAIL ROAD CENTER Negro Porters to Displace Whites in New Northwestern Depot. By J. R. Winston. Mr. John Hopkins, 5014 Dearborn street, who is holding a position over the New York Central to Pittsburgh, Pa., in service of the Pulman Company, and Thomas Maxwell, who is holding a position in parlor car service over the Rock Island Railway to Davenport, Ia., were callers at the Bachelors' Club parlor July 14 and interviewed Mr. Winston regarding the condition of the club as to whether conditions were safe enough for them to bring their wives there for an evening's outing and not be molested. Mr. Winston assured these two gentlemen that it was, as long as he had the management of the parlor. It has been rumored that Mr. Winston will go back to the railroad company as a brakeman, but under the title of train orter. Mr. Winston has had many ears' experience as a trakman and knows the duty of a brakeman om A to Z. In case he should regn from the management of the bachelors' Club parlor the same will announced in this column in the Chicago Defender. Since Mr. Winslet's appointment as manager of the Bachelor Club parlor these changes have been made for the betterment of the club: David Shelton, 738 East 42d street, formerly of Cincinnati, O., is the head waiter, and knows how to give up-to-date service. Mr. Shelton has appointed Mr. Lightfoot of 3207 Dearborn street as his assistant, and Homer Freeman, 5016 Dearborn street, an ex-railroad man, to assist on Saturday and Sunday, who holds the portership at the club. Professor Richard Palmer and Green have had Miss Snie Kirk appointed, by the general managers—Messrs. Daniel F. Carter and Georgia Bill—to entertain the railroad men and the general public. Miss Sadle Kirk was interviewed by Mr. Winston as to hoy long she has been in the vaudeville profession, and she says five years; and she was questioned as to what were her latest song hits, and these are her latest: "Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey," "Ocean Rolls," and "Good Morning, Sh." Miss Sadle Kirk is a fairly good-looking young lady and has a splendid voice and conducts herself like-ad, and if she gives good service she is likely to remain at the Bachelors' Club parlor for a long while. Never allow yourself to entertain the though of moral, mental or physical weakness, nor permit the superstitions idea that you are unlucky to enter your mind for a minute; nor to think that you are less fortunate than others. Good luck is good sense. Gritty determination and hard work—that's all. A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and in exactly shape his circumstances. If you will cultivate this habit you will be able have your mind in control of your body, thereby preventing moral, mental or physical suffering. Thither go. Have others think with you—think the truth, do the truth, live the truth; cultivate a charm of manner and personal quality that attracts people to you. Correct manners and proper dress produce a marked effect on others; they are always evidences of proper and correct training, and thus serve as a prestige in your favor. A man may have unusual wealth, power and ability, but without training he is ineffective. Resolved to these teachings, always be quick to notice a mistake and prompt in making good, regardless of cost; learn the value of money; do not drink too much, if you must have it, or gamble, and ever remember that reputation for honesty, integrity and fair dealing once established, assures merited success. Beave me, your well wisher, John Winston, Railroad Men's Friend—Railroader. S. Casneau, 3457 Washington street, Boston, Mass., is holding a position between Boston and Chicago in service of the Pullman Company over the Wabash Railway lines. Mr. Casneau was a visitor at the Bachelors' Club parlor. J. P. Harris, 219 East 88th street, New York City, is holding a position between New York City and Chicago ```markdown ``` FIVE DOLLARS IN GOLD GIVEN AWAY. The Chicago Defender, Chicago's leading newspaper, now comes with another great offer to its readers, and guess-who fans, in the shape of an offer of $5 in gold to the person giving in service of the Pullman Company over the Wabash Railway lines. Mr. Harris states that his wife has fallen in love with the Chicago Defender, and he will subscribe soon for the above named paper, to be mailed to his residence in New York City. Mr. S. H. Gladden, 110 Montgomery street, Jersey City, was in our city on July 11 in company with C. B. Montague of 54 Ferry street, Hoboken, N. J. Mr. Gladden is now in the service of the Erie Railway Company in the dining service and was a visitor at the Bachelors' Club, 1704 State street. Ed Ward, the ex-Pullman porter over the C. & E. I. Ry., on Trains 25 and 26, has opened a buffet at 4805 State street. In order that the people will know that he is in business it is for him to advertise in the Chicago Defender. "Lay it on the wood." HOTEL MONROE A DREAM Wednesday morning while the guests of Hotel Monroe were at breakfast a reporter entered and asked to see the proprietor, where upon the congenial gentleman, who proved no other person than our old friend, J. Monroe Johnson, late employee of the I. C. R. R. and backbone of the Chicago Lodge of Elks. Well! said Mr. Johnson, what wind blew you in here? THE MAYOR OF BOSTON Hon. J. Monroe Johnson, Ex. Ruler Original Elks. Why? said our reporter, "the cool wind;" to see whether you had on steam, and by jove he did. After a few passing remarks he was taken through the house. Say! it's a bird, 35 rooms, well ventilated, clean as a pin and everything up to scratch.

WOMEN of NOTE Queen Mary is very particular in regard to the gowning of those in her immediate entourage, neatness and quite good taste being the requirements among her ladies-in-waiting and the youthful maids of honor. Among other regulations issued as royal command to the latter young ladies were certain minute details, says the Gentlewoman, more especially as regards their morning and afternoon attire when in waiting on her majesty. Queen Mary has a dislike, for instance, to the blouse or costume being cut low in the neck, and she permits only the neat high collar or lace for morning or afternoon toilets. The queen, too, has commanded that when in waiting her malds shall eschew another mode somewhat in favor with many young girls at the moment, the wearing of short elbow sleeves. In some recent photographs published of one or other of the queen's maids of honor, those with their neat morning gowns, the sleeves appear finishing closely up to the wrist. The queen has also signified her liking for the neat, small toque in preference to the wide-brimmed, fashionable hat with its towering plumes. 一 Mrs. Russell Sage is one of the richest women in the world, and intends to devote her entire fortune to the benefit of humanity. She was born at Syracuse, N. Y., in 1823, in somewhat humble circumstances, and when she married Mr. Sage, nearly thirty years later, the millionaire and her husband were quite poor. "We were not poverty-stricken," says she, "but just able to keep the wolf from the door." In the first three years of her widowhood she is said to have disposed of twenty-five million dollars, and although she employs an army of secretaries to deal with the hundreds of begging letters received every day, she lives in simple style at Fifth avenue, New York, with three servants, all nearly as old as their mistress. Her greatest pleasures are derived from her love of flowers and her pet birds, and her chief aversion is to tobacco. THE ENGAGEMENT RING The engagement ring is worn after an engagement is announced, and is in best taste when it contains only a single stone. This may be a diamond, ruby, emerald or sapphire, according to individual preference and the circumstances of the prospective husband; and no girl of wisdom and taste will expect or accept from her lover an engagement ring which, in intrinsic value, is beyond his means. The third finger of the left hand is the one on which both the engagement ring and the wedding ring are worn. The wedding ring is always the same—a band of gold—not too heavy, but sufficiently so to last a lifetime. The round edge is preferred, because it is more comfortable to wear. The initials of both persons and the date are usually engraved in the engagement ring. The date of marriage and initials of the contracting parties are engraved in the wedding ring. It is very bad taste to wear an engagement ring, or indeed, any other ring, on the first finger, the third and fourth alone being the ring fingers. The engagement ring remains on the third finger of the left hand until just before the marriage ceremony, when it should be transferred to the corresponding finger of the right hand, the wedding ring taking its place on the left hand. If an engagement bracelet is presented, it is worn on the left wrist; but as this form of betrothal was merely a passing fad, the girl of the present will hardly care to adopt it, since the bracelet is more or less subject to fashion; but a ring can always be worn. A pretty foreign custom is to choose a plain gold ring for the emblem of betrothal, and to use it also for the wedding ring, the double inscription indicating the dates of betrothal and marriage being made inside, and a jeweled ring worn above it as a guard after marriage. A strict rule is that, with the exception of flowers and bonbons, a girl may not accept from her flance gifts which may not be returned uninsured should the engagement be broken. When an engagement is broken it is supposed to be because the persons have discovered their lack of congenitality. All gifts and letters should be returned on both sides. It is the duty of the mother of the young girl to announce to friends the fact that the engagement is at an end. Another Novel. Wedding "Joke." When a man employed in the railroad shops of Altoona, Pa., marries, his fellow-employees have a practice of tying to him as many tin cans as he can carry and following him all the way home, beating the cans with sticks. The ordeal requires more courage than standing before the minister and should make a man think twice before caring to repeat the experiment. - Springfield Republican. Those Questions.

"Not a bit," said the small boy. Not a bit, said the small boy. "You mean that? Do you mind if I kick 'that bowl?'" "Not a bit." "For the last time. Do you mind if I kick that bowl?" "No. I should like you to." "Oh, would you? Then watch me!" exclaimed the bully, as he shattered the bowl to atoms. "Do you mind now?" "Not a blit!" retorted the small boy, edging away.

MILLER AND LYLES AT THE NEW GRAND. Song Novelty Acts Drew Heavy. By Sylvester Russell. Miller and Lyles drew the largest summer houses of the season at the Grand Monday night. They gave their well known specialty, "Blessed with ignorance," which was as fresh as if new and created rlots of laughter both in the dialogue and in their burlesque boxing. Other acts which were white included the Ziegler trio of Roman ring artists, the best I've ever seen. Shayne and King were good Hebrew burlesque artists. Al Shayne is not only a marvelous falsetto but his baritone voice is excellent. He is also a fine artist and actor. Ed Russell and company did well in a dramatic sketch and the Royal Azuma Japanese Girls, direct from the Mikado empire, gave not only a novel performance but the finest dressed act of the kind ever seen in vaudeville. Jungle Specialties at the Monogram— Marmalade Friesen Sausage Mme. Fairfax Sings Sweetly. After the legitimate specialty of Madam Fairfax, who had a bad place on the bill, and little Harry Stafford, the boy singer, dancer and comedian, it was just like taking a trip into the jungles last Monday evening at the Monogram. Ora Criswell sang and danced under reflected lights, and the Hillmans entertained in pleasing manner at most times and danced well. The Griffin sisters, who were held over from last week, appeared to a better advantage than last week, and their best jungle scene, which we have not seen in some time, gave considerable pleasure. Mr. and Mrs. Billy Kersands drew the largest houses of the season last week, which was the ending of their two weeks' engagement. So great has been the popularity of Billy with his great name, which is a household word, that he could easily have run for a month in his old time repertoire of original specialties. The Phoenix Theater Has Good Houses. Owing to the high moral character of the entertainments given at this song and picture house, and the good class of young people who attend it, good houses have been the rule. Besides, new illustrated songs, "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "Wages and Wage Earners" were especially good. ```markdown ``` W.

It was announced as Colonel Cody's farewell and drew great crowds of mixed people. The show was better than ever and filled pith as much variety as a circus. I visited the show in a party consisting of Mrs. Billy- Kersands, Mrs. Jessie Heisear and Arthur Maxwell. I was introduced to the quartet and band, who had never seen the critical review, and the meeting was happy. The musicians were Prof. Blissmark Ferris, leader and manager; Harrison Baby Blackburn, stage manager; Ben Jackson, W. M. Carr, Edward Howdard, Reid Comor, Billy Moore, U. Everly, Jim Shaw, John Butler, Johnnie Crabb, Bud Border, Toney Maye, Ben Border and Norris Griggsley. The Rambler quartet included Melvin Oglesby, Ed Tandy, Ed Love and Fred Smart. These people serve in the Buffalo Bill concert or side show and draw big crowds. WHEN THE PETS SUFFER. A large gray cat leaped to death from a 13-story window of a New York hotel, and a telegram gives the explanation that the animal committed suicide in this way because its mistress had sailed for Europe, leaving it behind, says the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph. Whether the cat committed suicide or not is immaterial, but the incident does serve a purpose in calling attention to a pathetic side of the vacation season. In thousands of homes all over the country there are household pets, such as dogs and cats and birds, and as many of these homes are closed during the summer, or at least for several weeks, the pets are in most instances left to shift for themselves. For the sake of the songs there are neighbors who will take charge of the canaries during the absence of their owners, but for the dogs and the cats there are, as a rule, only harsh words and buffetings from the neighbors, and sticks and stones from the urchins of the community, and the poor creatures, homeless, friendless, and abused, are indeed objects of pity. It would be much more humane for the owners of these pets to put them to death before going away on their vacation trips, instead of leaving them to their fate, but the practice of deserting them goes on year after year. The fact that good roads increase the value of farm lands is not the potential argument in favor of good roads. Good roads make farm lands more valuable only because they make farm products more valuable by bringing the market closer to the farm and because they keep the markets accessible to the farm every day in the year. That is the reason why farmers should have good roads. To the man who does not want to sell his land at any price, the value of that land is a matter of secondary consideratoin. But good roads give the man who does not want to sell his farm the same advantage that they give the man who does want to sell. They give him an increased value for his products and pay a dividend every time he needs the market. Somebody who claims to have conducted a scientific investigation announces that music will quench a mans' thirst for strong liquor. If this is the case the bands that have been maintained by some of the fashionable cafes are likely to be compelled to look elsewhere for engagements. A Chicago woman says that divorces are more common now because her sex have raised the standard of manhood. Any old kind of a husband will no longer do, she says. How does it happen, then, that so many men get married? When the weather man climbs to the 100 mark on the thermometer it does not mean that he has achieved a lofty place in the hearts of his countrymen. And yet the misguided individual is carrying on like a steeple jack. President Emeritus Elliot of Harvard says no American city of 100,000 inhabitants or over is anywhere near as clean as it might be. Many smaller towns in this country might be cleaner than they are. The bird men are having hard times, but they are not discouraged. In the next decade they will be discarding aeroplanes and experimenting with wings. A young woman in Brooklyn wants to marry the stepson of her father-in-law's first wife. All of which is our notion of considerable mixup. "You'll not notice the heat if you don't talk about it," says Doctor Wiley. The trouble is that other people insist on talking about it. One of the actoettes has begun suit for divorce because her husband told her to throw away her wedding ring. Some people are so "touchy." We see by the papers that a woman in Atlantic City was fined $40 for being a scold. No wonder Atlantic City is a popular place. A New York woman wants a divorce because her husband insists on reading his poems to her. Extremely cruel and unusual. "Gray hairs," says a clergyman, "are sent to us as a punishment for our sins."

Ice Cream HInt How many housekeepers ever think of utilizing melted ice cream? Instead of throwing away the small left over portions that remain in freezer or mold, this melted cream should be incorporated in cake, cookies, or some small dessert. For the latter a little gelatin should be added, varying, of course, with the result desired. Melted chocolate ice cream into which chopped marshmallows have been stirred, and a little melted gelatin added, makes a delicious combination. Chopped fruits, as bananas, figs, and dates, also give a pleasing variety. When using melted ice cream for cake leave out the milk called for in the recipe and use less butter and sugar. Judgment must be used in combining quantities as no general rule can be given. The flavor of the cake must be considered and the ice cream flavor must harmonize with it. Quickest Saald That Grows. The quickest salad that grows and the least used in this country is mustard and cress. Sow curled garden cress in long rows, four inches apart. It matures in 21 days. As soon as it breaks through the ground sow the same quantity of white mustard, and the two will be ready at the same time. They should be cut when about an inch and a half high and used mixed in equal parts. In England and on the continent it is used extensively for sandwiches, dinner salads, with lettuce leaves, and for garnishing meats. The round turnip radishes take only about the same time to mature if sown in rich ground, so it is easy to have a home grown salad, if nothing else, the first of July.—Harper's Bazar. A Sewing Rug. To the woman who must sew in her living rooms, I would recommend a sewing rug, made of a piece of denim of the right size to fit a light corner of the room. The edges are hemmed. Along the outer side which comes next the wall are four buttons evenly spaced. At the center of each end a strip of cloth forms a handle. When wishing to tidy the room, I fold over the rug lengthwise one-third, which brings four eyelets worked with carpet warp on the wrong side of the rug along the fold. The other side is then folded over and the buttons on the edge slipped into corresponding eyelets. The ends are then brought together, and the rug is hung by the handles on a closet hook—House-keeper. Rhubarb Bread. Prepare two quarts of rhubarb and cook slowly, cutting it in half-inch pieces so as to avoid stringiness. Stew with one pint of sugar, adding more if too tart. When very soft rub through a sieve and return to the fire until at the bolling point. Have ready a number of slices of two-day old bread buttered generously. Spread them on a platter and pour over sufficient of the hot sauce to thoroughly soak them. Add another layer of bread, cover with the remainder of the sauce. Set aside until cold and serve with cream and sugar. Scotch Apple Tart: Peel and core half a dozen tart apples and place in a crock in a slow oven, adding neither water nor sugar. When tender mix in Sultana raisins, allowing a quarter of a pound to each pound of apples. Turn into a deep chafing dish, sprinkle with sugar and grated lemon, cover with a top crust, prickling well to allow for the escape of steam, and bake in a quick oven. Serve with milk. Cleaning Paint A useful solution for cleaning old, painted woodwork preparatory to repainting is to dissolve two ounces of washing soda in one quart of hot water. It should be, used warm and the paint afterward washed with clear water. The Sporting World By J. H. Wright. The game Wednesday at Aurora was an improvement, being worth the price of admission. Both pitchers were in pretty good form, but class told and the Rubens Blizzards won out, 5 to 4. Dougherty pitched for the American Giants with Petway on the receiving end. Watkis and Webster were on the firing line for Manager Harris' team. Diamond Clippings. Hutchinson won 60 sacks of Bull Durham for hitting the ball over the fence. Monroe, the star second sacker of the American Glants, is quite a fun producer. Pryor is the silent man, never having much to say. Jones, the Leland's' short shop, is good but a little light for the position. Harris is playing left field for his team. Red Horse and Gollah are making good for the Leland's. Pierce is hitting like a fend and carried batting honors Tuesday. GRACE BASEBALL TEAM Bunching hits together, along with clever running in the seventh inning won the game for Grace from Bethlehem before a large crowd at Washington Park last Saturday by the score of 7 to 2. The game up to the seventh was a pitchers' battle as the score was tied and runners on the bases were scarce. Baker pitched a superb game for Grace, not allowing any to walk and giving the Bethlehem team only three clean hits. His teammates supported him well, especially catcher Motley, who kept his opponents close to the bags. The Grace team will play the fast forty-first Street team Saturday afternoon, July 22, at Washington Park, Baker or Lewis pitching against Richards. Saturday, July 15, the Grace Presbyterian baseball team defeated Bethlehem Presbyterian team in the best game of the season in the South Division of the Presbyterian Brotherhood League, by a score of 7 to 2. Baker of Grace allowed Bethlehem batters five hits, struck out seven, and didn't issue a pass. Grace scored one in the first, Bethlehem tied it up in the fourth; neither side scored until the seventh when Corbett of Bethlehem weakened and Grace batters, by timely hitting, drove six runs over before the side was retired. Bethlehem scored one in the eighth. Corbett was touched up for eight hits, two going two bases, and issued three passes. Features of the game were the pitching of Baker and the fast fielding of Peterson.

Colocidence In Deaths A queer coincidence attends the death of Rev. J. H. Hammond of Great Comberton, near Pershore, England, who was killed when flung from his horse a few days ago. Curiously enough the two previous rectors of Great Comberton met their death in a similar manner.

A Baltimore minister now declares that Atlas, who held up the world, was a woman and not a man. No doubt a milliner.-Detroit Free Press. Caught in His Own Trap Mr. Luke Edgerley was a model farmer. Everything about his establishment was neat as waxwork—that is, if waxwork is neat, as we have always been led to suppose. He prided himself particularly on his trim fences and his smooth lawns and fields with not a weed to be seen anywhere. But especially he prided himself on his cantaloupe garden. He had laid out the ground with great care, manured it highly, worked it deep and mellow, imported the seeds himself, and planted them with great care. After the vines were up he had watched them faithfully, killing the bugs one by one, which is the only way, and getting up an hour earlier than usual every morning with this especial purpose in view. By and by the melons began to ripen and Luke was in high spirits. He had. Indeed, a fine lot of them and it was perhaps quite excusable in him to feel proud of them. Already he had selected one for the minister, one for Deacon Smallhead, and one for Bangs, the new doctor. These were to be presented when they were fully ripe, and Luke was continually expatiating upon the gratitude and delight with which they would be received. Judge of Luke's dismay when he found on going out to inspect his treasures as usual one morning that the very identical melons he had selected for the three gentlemen we have mentioned were missing! With mad haste he searched the whole grounds, but the best melons were nowhere to be found. He compelled his wife and the two men men and his sons, Jack and George, to join in the search; but it was all of no avail—the cantalupes had disappeared and refused to be discovered. Luke decided that he would fix things for the thieves. In the first place he set a couple of steel traps in the melon patch, and in the next place he would lie awake that night and if he heard the least sound anywhere he would jump out of bed, seize his old musket, and pursue the rascals. But, being a rather sleepy man, he got into such a profound nap that he did not awake until day dawn, and then when he went to his melons he found there were three more gone! And the traps were not sprung, either! Mr. Edgerley was in a dreadful state of mind all day, but when night came he refused to go to bed. He was going to sit up and watch his melons. So he crouched in a corner of the loa behind some currant bushes and waited. About ten o'clock he heard a stealthy footstep. Raising himself on his elbow he looked around. There was no moon and the stars were faint in a hazy sky, but still there was light enough to show him a tall, gaunt figure, clad in white, loomed up before him. In the dim light the figure looked supernaturally tall, and Luke was a devout believer in ghosts. The sight of this specter struck terror to his soul. The white figure advanced nearer, with slow, deliberate steps, as if it knew there were traps set. By and by it stooped down, plucked off a melon, and came straight toward Luke. Terror got the better of our hero. Flinging away his musket, he struck a bee line for the house, right across the melon vines, all unmindful of the traps. In an instant he was fast by one foot, and, not realizing what had happened and thinking he was in the clutch of the ghost, he gave a tremendous leap forward, and was caught by the other foot in the other trap. To increase his dismay the specter was bearing down upon him, with a huge melon under each arm. Luke uttered an unearthly yell, which reached the ears of every sleeper in the house and caused the ghost to drop the plunder with a wild scream of afright. "Grab her, boys! Grab her!" cried Luke to the hired men, who had appeared on the scene in very scanty apparel. "Don't let her git off!" But the woman—for it evidently was a woman—leaped through the currant bushes, screaming at the top of her voice for "Luke! Luke!" and disappeared in the direction of the house. "My stars!" cried Mr. Edgerley, "that sounded like Sally's voice. You don't suppose—It can't be—dear me! It beats everything!" "Haven't I heard you say that your wife was a sleepwalker?" asked one of the men. "By Jinks!" cried Mr. Edgerley, "You've hit it. Styles. And she's the thief! Undo my legs! I'm nigh about split in two. It's lucky that nobody with short legs got caught in them traps. And look here, boys, don't say anything about this, and next week we'll have an oyster supper." Mrs. Edgerley, was immensely surprised at what she had been doing, but her husband was greatly relieved. He felt the melons were not lost. Neither were they, for Styles sound them all next day, safely stowed away in the haymow. The Lawyer's Pleasant Duty. For the lawyer as well as the soldier there is an equally pleasant duty—an equally imperative command. That duty is to shelter the innocent from oppression, and to rally at all times and all occasions, when necessity demands it, to the special defense of those whom nature, custom or circumstance may have placed in dependence upon our strength, honor and cherishing regard. That command emanates and reaches each class from the same authoritative and omnipotent source. It comes from a superior whose right to command none dare question, and none dare disobey. in this command there is nothing of that lex tailonis which nearly 2,000 years ago nailed to the cross its Divine Author.

Stand for your rights even in a gift. Will some of our real estate dealers kindly tell us why we are compelled to pay 25 per cent and in some instances 50 per cent more rent than our white neighbor. We are practically forced to live in certain well defined districts and are then charged prohibitive rents. The following is but one of the many ads, which appear in our daily papers for whites: "For rent—light, three-room flat, with bath, $10. Also four-room flat, steam heat, private bath, $19.50. Both of these are in desirable localities." We repeat, why? Man's Many Wants. How many ways there are in which our peace may be assailed, besides actual want! How many comforts do we stand in need of, besides meat and drink and clothing! Is it nothing to "administer to a mind diseased"—to heal a wounded spirit? After all other difficulties are removed, we still want some one to bear our infirmities, to impart our confidence to, to encourage us in our hobbies (may, to get up and ride behind us), and to like us with all our faults—Hazlitt. The Human Frame. A physician says that the human frame may be compared to a watch, of which the heart is the mainspring, the stomach the regulator, and what we put in it the key by which the machine is wound up. According to the quantity, quality and proper digestion of what we eat and drink will be the pace of the pulse, and the action of the system in general. If the machine is disorganized, the same expedients are employed for its readjustment as are used by the watchmaker. Fruit Trees on German Roads. Fruit trees are planned by the roadside in parts of Germany, but not, as might be supposed, for the appeasement of appetites of passers-by. The trees are watched closely, and at the end of the season the fruit is sold. The amount stolen is very small. The warning is succinct, but not too blunt, being merely the words, "A good man injures no tree," posed on a board at intervals along the road. EDITOR VS. CORRESPOND EDITOR VS. CORRESPONDENT. The editor of the Washington American takes a skip at R. W. Thompson, the widely known correspondent located at Washington, D. C., accusing Thompson of being Ralph Tyler's Good Man Friday. There is nothing strange about Thompson booming Tyler. That seems to be a habit with most all right thinking people. Tyler has made good in every position he has been placed in and Thompson has done nothing more than give it to the public. It is hard for some people to realize that every knock is a hoost. TAMING OF THE SHREW Vardaman of Mississippi, the exponent of senseless race hatred, is again a candidate for re-election. The "Negrophobe," a disease with which he tried to infect the entire country, seems to be acting as a boomerang. Even those who are strongly opposed to social or even political equality between the races now look with repugnance upon a demagog who continually exploits race prejudice as his chief political stock in trade. We have nothing but compassion for a state that would lower and humiliate itself and the nation by sending one of his ilk to the senate. LURE OF LOST INHERITANCES Many Centuries Old Fortunes Awaiting the Claim of the Lawful Heirs. In Rhenish Bavaria two associations have recently been organized to obtain a $400,000 inheritance left in 1676 by the Dutch Field Marshal Baron von Ornholm. In Bavaria there is a new effort under way to secure five fortunes now estimated at about $17,500,000, the amounts left by five Dutchmen to their German relatives, between 1636 and 1705, plus the interest that has accumulated since that time. Every one of these five fortunes, the largest of which was $1,120,000, has completely disappeared. There is a record that the money left by Johann Joas, an Amsterdam ship's captain, who died in 1707, reached the representative of his heirs in Augsburg in 1785. In the next year the heirs were informed that $700,000 had been deposited for them in an Augsburg bank. The heirs of a leather dealer, Van Gratz, received small payments on account, and even obtained, $40,000 about 1791. In 1855 an Augsburg banker by the name of Van Halde confessed on his death bed that the inheritances had been deposited in his bank, and that by means of them he had made his own fortune. Since then every effort has been made to trace the bequests through the municipality of Augsburg, the Bavarian minister of the interior, and the courts. There are endless documents in the case, but the money has never appeared. Recently the Dresden bank absorbed the Von Halde bank business, and the heirs are now of the opinion that it must account to them for $17,500,000 and they have distinguished Munich lawyer hlstime search for the Pine old clothes weather.

Beside helping to exterminate a foo to mankind, swatting the fly affords good exercise. It stitches us that Dr. Grant, who declared the Jonah tale a myth, is not a fisherman. "Big feet, good understandings," 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 pleckers let us remark that sand in the food is not necessarily unhealthful. News comes that the chauffeurs 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 been 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.

According to a Pittsburg paper, blue paint will keep away the files. A solid swat with a swatter is more permanent, however. Germany is building a dreadnought to be called The Peacemaker. 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 plety. That man why played a plano 38 hours without stopping may have broken the world's endurance record, but he would be a mighty inharmonious 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. A Chicago professor advocates a school in which to teach the art of courtship. Is this not already an important part of the curriculum of every coeducational institution in the land?

There was some little trouble one evening during the 31st street carnival. It has often been said by the best thinking men of the Negro race that if protection is not guaranteed colored people they must be ready individually to protect themselves, and this means that they will become a dangerous race.

The Belmont Golf Club managers, of Belmont, Ill., should feel themselves fortunate in having as their chef steward, Walter Poe, who has been employed at the club in said capacity for five years and has made a wonderful success of same. Mr. Poe is to be commended for his work as he is one of the youngest chef stewards in the business and his responsibilities are numerous. He is cool headed and possesses an affable disposition which makes him superior to many stewards older than himself. It is much to be deplored that some of our men have minds no larger than their noses or if their minds are larger the bump of selfishness is so well developed that a charitable thought is compelled to "take wings and fly." Two very good cafes have discharged their colored waiters and supplanted them with white boys. The management found among the colored boys there employed a system of grafting, a decidedly pernicious habit as the penalty not only recalls on their own heads but through the narrow mindedness of the employers, those innocent of the wrong doing, must suffer with the guilty. The grafting was carried on by overcharging the guest for food. isn't it a shame that in order to make a few extra dollars some of our best men will lay themselves liable to disgrace and seemingly without any thought for the welfare of the other fellow? "In union in strength" and just so long as our mind's eye is so narrow that we see only our own future, just so long will our white antagonist be our superior. Men please heed this warning. When a man of the other race commits a misdemeanor he is replaced by one of our race? No, the white man believes in being charitable to his fellow man and another of his own fills the position left vacant by the guilty party. There is strength in thinking of one another not only in the hotel world but in every profession are men who are selfish when it comes to the "almighty dollar," but boys it won't do. Think what it means to your associates and call a decided halt. In the event of some of the boys not having seen our old friend A. F. Brewer, who was in the city several days ago, I make note of same. Mr. Brewer will be remembered for his excellent service rendered at the Auditorium and Great Northern grill rooms. Having been visiting in New York, Brewer could not resist the all powerful persuasion of the stroll and stopped over in our city of sparkling life to shake hands with those who knew him when he was famous in Chicago. He is one of the best headwalters known here and is still holding his own, having charge of a buffet car on the Southern Pacific with headquarters in Los Angeles, Cat. Brewer sends best regards to all the boys and says, "When you are annoyed, don't worry." There appeared several months ago in the want ads of a daily paper, a notice reading thus: "Wanted—Eight light waiters. Apply at the Normandie Hotel." Said ad discussed by the Defender reporter of the hotel column. If there is any special efficacy in being fair, then as we have said before, one could the more readily understand the motive for such a prejudice at any time. But feeling that all men are born by and through one God, we can but pity him who thinks otherwise. The ad referred to was answered and the boys employed worked for several months. Then suddenly the head waiter who was so particular, was presented with his walking papers, and the position given to a young man who was working on the side, Leo. W. Coleman. In his hands was placed the responsibility of looking after all money matters of the cafe in conjunction with the position of head waiter. Mr. Coleman is one of the finest young men it has been my pleasure to meet. He is quite a social favorite, well educated and no one could better fill the position of head in the cafe than he. Being a strong race man, he is decidedly against the wave of prejudice which has struck some of our intelligent (?) people, as he wishes the best man to win, be he light or dark. The Defender is proud of this young man for he is of the stamina that goes to make a race. Candle Wax for Traveling Bottles.

The dolls are who had nerve enough to go down State St. Sunday with harem clothes and a hat. The same two dolls are who said they were offered good positions in a down-street street; they would demonstrate their obdorate harem skirts on the down-town streets. The 58th St. doll is who turned on a "Mean Blivey" Monday night. The P. O, dude is who was seen going down Wabash Ave, holding his mother's hand tightly. He's probably tightly. Be good boys and mother need not watch you so closely. The P. O, dude of "cannon Ave, is who has taken the picture." The same P. O, dude is who takes another girl out instead of the doll he promises to take out. That's all right, he doesn't. The doll is who lost her good job because she slept on duty so much. A Forrest boy took her to bed. The two young men are who offered to take two young ladies home (they living in Evinston), and found out they had lads and a man who had ladies had to pay all of the ways. We guess R. F. and W. B. T. had to walk home. Miss Dinghiat is. The doll is who said she don't believe in marrying. A 32nd St. doll, too. Englewood J. M. was seen with Mongolian ladies who had doll's husband didn't know she was out. Englewood boys are who turn on such a man. The married man is that looks so sad, Mr. H. is right (stung). The Vernon Ave. married lady is that never seen out with her husband. But before marrying could not be separated from him. DEATHS OF THE WEEK --- Bell, S. H. I.

WATCH THIS FRETFUL FAN'S Wants to Know If Run... must Return to Base After Batter has Knocked Foul Ball. A great many questions asked by baseball fans are not worth printing, but here is one that will make you top and ponder: A man at bat and a man on first base. Man on first base attempts to steal second base as the pitcher makes his delivery to the batter, the batter passes the ball and the catcher immediately returns the ball to the pitcher, who makes a second delivery before the runner from first base reaches second base, without any attempt to put the runner out. The batter strikes the second ball delivered before the runner reaches second base and it is a foul. (A) Is the runner entitled to second base or does he have to return to first base? (B) Can the second ball delivered be called a dead ball, or is it a foul? The answer is simple after you give the matter due thought, says the Philadelphia Record. The runner must return to first base and the ball is a foul. The rules provide for that clearly enough, although such a case could hardly have entered the rule-makers' heads. As a recommendation not covered by the rules, we would advise the runner's instant release. Some fine day he will go fast asleep on the base lines and catch a severe cold from the evening dew. HOW COLLINS GOT HIS START Played With Athletics Under Assumed Name of Sullivan to Retain Standing at Columbia. Have you ever heard how Eddie Collins, star baseman of the Athletics, made his debut in baseball as a member of the Mackenzie? This is the story from the sensational sacker himself: "I was in my senior year at Columbia when a scout found me up at Rut- 1 Eddie Collins. land, Vt., playing shortstop for that team in the Northern league. The scout asked me how I would like to join Connie, but I told him I did not want to lose playing for Columbia the senior year. He said that would be fixed up all right and I could travel under an assumed name. "So I went down to Philadelphia and out to the clubhouse, which was on the old grounds at Columbia avenue. Connie's office had two rooms, and he was in the inside office. Tim Murnane, the baseball writer, was in the inner office when I showed up. "Connie could look out and spot anybody coming in. Tim and several of the local reporters were there, too. I remember Connie saw me and he did not want Tim to get wise, so he got up out of his chair, ran to the door and pushed me into the outer office. "As he bumped me out, Connie stuck out his hand and said, 'How do you do, Mr. Sullivan! Come right along with me.' He took me down behind the grand stand and I practiced there for three days. "The western trip opened at Chicago and I played under the name of Sullivan. "I made the whole trip and went back to college, got my degree and then came back to the Athletics after commencement. I played under my own name then, of course, but it was funny in Chicago. One writer came out with a note and said: 'The young fellow who now is playing under the name of Collins has been in the league before, and his right name is Sullivan.' Cub Discards Doing Well A glance through National league batting orders reveals that Cub discards are ripping the cover off the bail. Luderus and Ingerton, for instance. Woman Breaks Ribs Mt. Vernon, N. Y.—A fashionably attired, vivacious young woman, accompanied by a bevy of friends, issued forth from the mansion of Adhemer Fleux, at Mt. Vernon. Passers-by noticed that the young woman dropped her hatpin. As she stooped to recover it there was a sharp snap and she fell to the ground. After an exhaustive X-ray examination, it was discovered that in leaning over she had broken three of her ribs. ER BASEBALL STAR ON THE STAGE Pitcher George Wiltsie of New York Giants. Not to be outdone by his side partner, Christy Mathewson, George Wiltsie, the Giants' clever southpaw, will go on the stage next winter. George will not do a monologue stunt, but will be a member of a quartet composed of three other ball players in the big leagues. Wiltsie is in fine form this season, and show win out the show win boom. Wild Base Runn Wild base running which is winning ball Tigers this year. Which is More, Capable, Bench or Playing?—Largely Matter of Individuals and Personality. The discussion as to the relative merits of a bench and playing manager for a baseball team is again under way. "I believe that before long all managers will be bench managers," says Hugh McBreen, treasurer of the Boston Americans. "I think the game is coming to that. Baseball has gone ahead so much and to be so fast, before long the manager will have all he can do to sit on the bench and direct the play without attempting to get upon the coaching lines. Managers must plan ahead, must be figuring out the next play, and upon the lines they are apt to lose sight of moves ahead they have in their minds in the immediate duties of coaching. "You see a manager coaching at first base one minute and then a situation arises that takes him over to third base, and it doesn't seem to me that he can make these moves and at the same time plan as clearly as if he were on the bench without anything to bother him except planning. Then, again, by sitting on the bench all the time with the players around him he is constantly getting, their ideas and finding out just what they think of what ought to be done." Now, it just happens that the Boston Americans have a bench manager, which may or may not Influence McBreen's opinion; but at any rate it is probable that the officials of the New York, Cincinnati and Brooklyn clubs in the National league, and the Athletics, Detroit, Chicago and Washington clubs, in the American league would agree with him. The secretaries of the other major A Capt. Bobby Wallace. league teams, would probably declare in favor of the playing managers, who are as follows: Chance, Chicago Cubs, first base; Clarke, Pittsburgh Pirates, left field; Dooin, Phillies, catcher; Bresnahan, St. Louis Cardinals catcher; Tenney, Boston Doves, first base; Chase, Yankees, first base; Wallace, St. Louis Browns, shortstop. The whole question is, of course, largely a matter of individuals and personality, and will probably be a source for argument as long as the game exists. "The educational system which seeks to develop the mind into a money-making machine only is a mischievous system; but the 'system which crowds the mind with unrelate facts and turns out youths who can barely earn a living is scarcely less mischievous."—T. Sharper Knowlson Ovens for Large Bakeries. Ovens for Large Bakeries. Ovens heated by gas blasts are growing in favor for the use of large bread bakeries. Education. this season, and should the Giants win out the show will receive a big boom. Wild Base Running Wins. Wild base running seems the thing which is winning ball games for the Tigers this year. Among the Baseball Players Ty Cobb says ball players make their own luck. The poor baseball player is the only one who knows no holidays. Ping Bodle looks a good deal better in the outfield than on second. "It been, or not to been, that is the question," among big league pitchers. Bill Burns has been doing good work for the Phillies since he joined them. John Collins of the White Sox is doing his best to steal all the home run thunder. Playing when it is too dark to see the ball does not appeal to the majority of the fans. Burch of Brooklyn started as a pinch hitter this year, but graduated into a regular berth. Western teams appear to be the most formidable competitors for both Chicago teams this season. Catcher Madden, formerly of the Boston Red Sox, has been purchased by the Philadelphia Nationals. Umpires are beginning to feel that the manly art of self defense is more satisfactory than the levying of fines. Bobby Wallace, has signed a hard hitting collegian in Fred Busch of the Michigan Agricultural college team. Catcher Lou Criger of the Milwaukee American association baseball team was given his unconditional release. Good, taken in trade by the Cubs from Boston for Kaiser, has been playing a strong article of baseball so far. Wagner does not play first with as much grace as he does short, but he gets everything that comes anywhere near him. Trainer Tuttle of the Detroit Tigers says Jennings' men never bother their heads trying to plier signals from opposing batteries. Babe Towne, manager of the Sloux City team and a former White Sox, is leading the batting list of the Western with a 425 average. Joe O'Brien is being boomed by some of his friends in the American association circuit for the next president of the National league. Battery of Brothers "You hear a lot about brothers pitching and catching and making a battery," says Bob Groom, the toothpick twirler of the Washington Nationals. "Well, I was a member of the Groom brothers battery once, back in Illinois. That was before I entered professional ball. I was known as the 'strikeout king' around St. Louis, not far from my home, and usually I fanned 15 or 16 men in a game. I didn't have much but a wide curve, but, oh, how it used to seize those lads trying to hit it. During the entire season before I entered organized baseball I averaged 15 strikeouts to a game. "I was billed as one of the Groom brothers battery and people used to come to see us work. Alec Groom and Bob Groom got their names in the papers with great regularity. "But Ale Groom wasn't my brother. He was my cousin. However, few ever knew that, and we passed for a long time as the Groom brothers battery."

Next to the Boston old maid, the Boston old bachelor is the most interesting New England object in nature. A machine has been invented to give every player in a card game a square hand.

A FEW LITTLE SMILES About the Same George West Bainbridge, the secretary of the Street Protective alliance of Dubuque, began a recent address with the words: "In the past, when two rich Englishmen met, they would say: 'It's a fine day. Let's go kill something.' "It amounts to the same thing, doesn't it?" Horrible Thought "Throgson, have you decided on a name for the baby yet?" "Yes; we're going to call him "Yes; we're going to call him Maurice Updyke." "Maurice Updyke Throgson, eh?—M. U. T." "Mut! Gee! That won't do! Say, Molly, we'll have to fight it all over again!" "I see by the paper that the playing of checkers has been made unlawful in a Georgia town," said the southerner. "Well," replied the traveling man.

Proof Heart By JOANNA SINGLE (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.) Things began to happen in John Dorr's hitherto quiet life. He had been head draughtsman ten years. Then, one June morning, Foster, the senior partner, called him to the inner office. Tauton, the other firm member, was grinning in his happy fashion. "You're junior partner, Dorr, from this time forth! How do you like it?" Both older men rose and shook hands with him. Their friendliness was personal as well as in business. Dorr's steady dark eyes lighted happily. He was probably thirty-gear or four, of the slow-going but reasonably sure sort. He said nothing could be better. And then they discussed the financial side. An hour later he was leaving them, when Tauton stopped him locally. "We've only one fault to find with you, John. You're not quite human with that woman-proof heart of yours! You seem never to even see a girl—and they all see you! Marry and be one of us, and have some real life in that little cottage of yours. Eh?" Dorr laughed, but his reserve was not broken. "Some marry, like you, some, like me—do not. I consider myself a successful bachelor." He left them, not saying that love had seemed to pass him by. He would marry, if ever, because love came and found him, not because other men married. The next astounding thing happened the next morning. Miss Gray, always at her desk early, was waiting for him. No one else was down yet, and she followed him to the inner room and closed the door. In the year she had been in the office she had spoken to nobody there save on business, and almost never to borrow. Now she laid a shining handful of jewelry on the desk before him, and stood, tall and slender, her face grave, her gray eyes serious. She spoke as if conferring rather than asking a favor. "Could I get—$200 on these? I know nothing about pawning things." Through his amazement he noted the depth of her clear eyes, the way her fine, smooth brown hair framed her face, the little lines at her temples. She could not have been much under thirty. He examined the heavy old watch of fine gold, two diamond rings, one very good; a little sapphire, like a blue eye; and other trinkets. "I—should think so. Why not let us—the firm—advance the money?" She shook her head firmly. "That would not do. And I need the money this afternoon, too. I thought you could tell me the best place to go." "The all—horrible places. Properly amaged, some of them might lend it. I'll go for you. You couldn't go to a place like that." She turned as if the matter were settled. "Thank you very much," she said pleasantly and went back to her desk. He liked it that she did not explain that if she had troubles she not mention them, and that, what it was, she came to her own. But it set his thoughts upon How came she to have such exe things? Why did she need ? She had a good salary, lived quietly, and inexpensively—he there she boarded, and had a that all her people were he thought he would—why, quietly keep her jewels and the money himself! Then she would not accept it. He driven to decit. He pawned the watch only, as less personal, and when he gave her the envelope of bill merely showed her the ticket, explaining that he would keep it and get the things when the 60 days were up. But the matter disturbed him, and he wished it had not occurred. He furiously studied her. She was a lady. The quietness of her dress and manner, the perfection of her toilet, above all, her reserve, showed that. As the hot June days passed he saw a change in her. Miss Taylor, the bookkeeper, had gone on her vacation, and as business was light, Miss Gray did her work in her absence. Was it too much for her? Dorr noted that for the first time since he had known her, she seemed worried. Her eyes were shadowed, her face pate. He spoke to her about it one Saturday noon after the others had left and were not to return. She was bending over a ledger. "Miss Gray, it's pretty hot in here. You'd better not stay—let it go until Monday. Shall I work at it for an hour? I can." She seemed to shrink from him, and protested. "The Frankfort University." The proposed creation of a university at Frankfort is receiving a great deal of discussion. The city authorities have proposed to combine a number of scientific academies and institutions of learning already existing into a university. These institutions dispose of large endowment funds, and funds necessary to complete the university organization would, according to the proposal of the city council, be secured by voluntary contribution, in order to avoid increasing tax burden. The proposal has been submitted to the Prussian government. ton to the "Frank- arsen, particularly towns, such ism, which claim be drawn away leges in this part creation of an im- deal seal of learning said, "let me do it. I'm going—you know I'm not an experienced bookkeeper—I'll get along all right." He left her, but he thought her manner strange. Was anything wrong? Surely not. But when Monday morning came, she was there at the office when he entered, bending over the ledger with a little frown on her brow. He walked straight up to her. "Has anything gone wrong?" he asked in his steady, elder-brother manner. Her eyes met his almost gratefully, in a sort of resolve or relief. She asked a strange thing of him. "Could you stay and—help me a moment tonight—when the others are gone?" If it had been any one else, any one less perfectly dignified and impersonal, he would not have liked the request. Just then Foster entered, and Dorr knew something had happened to him—he had a hot desire to shield her from Foster's look—from even the thought of any one else. It was a protective impulse that sprang up to defend her, and set a steal upon him. He never forgot how she looked at that moment. Her eyes were like flowers. That evening she went straight to the point. She pit the books before him. "Please go over everything since Miss Taylor left," she said. "She'll be back in the morning, and I can't find—all the money. I missed it the day after she left. It has frightened me to death." He began to go over the figures with her, his voice reassuring. "Don't worry—we'll find it." It often happens. He went over all the figures once—then twice. "Hm!m. Two hundred short—" He stopped suddenly and looked at her. "Was that why you got me to—" "Pawn my father's things, and my mother's. Yes. If it was my fault I was going to make it good. I was afraid I hadn't watched when the safe was open, or something—" He laughed outright. "I am sure it can't be Miss Taylor's mistake—she is so accurate, and I wanted her to find everything all right." Again he laughed to see how little "Couldn't I Get $200 on These?" of a business woman she really was, how feminine, how helpless, and still how self-reliant she was! The wave of protectiveness that had seized upon him that morning came back—and with it another thing—the knowledge that he loved this woman. It came like light, in an instant. And before he could-steady his thought the door opened, and Nina Taylor, sunburned and happy, breezed in upon them. "Well, old business plodders—though you look more like plotters—what is up? Figuring how much I embezzled?" She laughed. "Well," answered Dorr, "for a fact, we can't seem to locate $200 that isn't on the bank book, and ought to be. It's been lost ever since you left." The girl came to lean over Sylvin's shoulder, running a practiced eye over the books. Her face was serious, and she bit her lip. Then, with a whirl, she turned to the safe and opened it. She rummaged a moment, and brought out a little canvas bag. "There's your cash—didn't you hear me tell you to bank it the day I left, Miss Gray?" She laughed. "I was too late for the bank, you will remember." Slyvia did remember, then. The younger girl snatched something she wanted from her desk and was gone again in a moment. John Dorr rose from his chair, and looking at Slyvia Gray saw how pale and tired she looked. All sense of anything but her and her loneliness left him. "Slyvia," he said, "if only you could—love me. Could you? Could you love me—and marry me?" There was still much of her old reserve and dignity left to her, but it was the dignity of yielding what one longs to give. She looked quietly at him. "Do you love me?" he insisted. "Oh," she answered, "I do! Of course I do!" Unread Rembrandts On a recent voyage Chief Engineer Galloway of the ocean liner Lapland was showing a Texan over the ship. They got to talking and Galloway said it seemed a pity that American millionaires were bringing so many European art treasures to this country nowadays. "It's hardly right," he argued, "that men who just happen to have money should be able to take Rembrandt's and Van Dykes' from countries that have had them for generations." "That's so," agreed the Texan "Those fellows just go over to Europe and buy 'em up, don't they? Why, say, Galloway, not one in ten'll ever read 'em!"—Saturday Evening Post. Between Salealadies "That man is getting tbe a regular customer here." "He isn't afraid to ask to see something cheaper, if he feels so inclined." THE SCRAP BOOK BRITAIN'S BIGGEST LANDLORDS. There are some big landlords in Britain. The duke of Sutherland, for instance, owns 1,358,000 acres, or about 2,122 square miles. This holding is larger by far than most of the German grandduchies and is at least thirty times the size of the principality of Liechtenstein. It is said of his grace that he can travel right across Scotland from sea to sea without ever leaving his own land. Then there is the duke of Bucleuch, with 460,000 acres; the marques of Breadalane, with 300,000; the duke of Richmond, with 268,000; the duke of Fife, with 250,000; the duke of Atholl, with 202,000; and somewhere about a score whose holdings range between 100,000 and 200,000 acres. There are twenty men, including those mentioned above, who hold between them more than five million acres, equivalent to a block of territory 20 miles long by nearly 40 wide, or about one-eleventh of the total land area of the United Kingdom. FAMOUS WISHING WELL. Near Boston Spa, in Yorkshire, England, is a so-called wishing well, which is probably nothing else than a survival of pagan tree worship. The place is called St. Helen's Well, and has been so named ever since the days of the Romans. The legend runs that people visiting this dried up well to offer up prayers will have their wish granted if they leave an offering in the shape of a shred of their own clothing and observe strict secrecy in regard to the nature of their demands. Not only lovers and superstitious country folk make pilgrimages to St. Helen's Well; the grove is frequented in summer time by quite serious people, who do not hesitate, when the backs of their companions are turned to furtively tie some scrap from their clothing to the twisted roots and murmur their heart's desires. DOG'S LONG LINEAGE. It is impossible to say when dogs were first domesticated, but some of the earliest traces are found on Egyptian monuments, with figures of dogs, somewhat of the greyhound type, which date back to at least 3500 B. C. Even in these remote days the dog was highly esteemed. Coming down a little later, we read that Ulysses, 3,000 years ago, was recognized by his dog Argus after his swineherd had failed to do so. Plutarch speaks of Alciblades, who cut off the tail of his dog, and Myron, the sculptor, immortalized the animal by chiseling his image in marble. The Romans valued their dogs, and kept them for the chase and also as pets. Alexander the Great owned a veteran fit to tackle a lion. THE NUPTIAL KISS. The nuptial kiss, with a meaning akin to that of the kiss of peace, had its origin in a most serious and practical church ceremony known as the espousals. Among medieval people, as among some classes of Jews today, it was quite customary for the bridegroom and bride to meet before witnesses in the church some days or even weeks before the marriage, and there make a pledge of future union, and at each times a ring was usually presented by the prospective husband. Sometimes, however, the man was too poor to buy the ornament, and instead presented a kiss, which was doubtless more pleasant and was considered a birding pledge before man and God. GERMANY'S POOR NOBILITY. Prof. Kekule von Stradnoltz has just made an interesting study of the condition of many of the ancient ennobled families of Germany. The professor finds that the descendants of families whose nobility is beyond question are in some instances gaining a livelihood, such as it is, as clerks, shopmen and minor officials. Many have emigrated to America. Among these are scions of houses justly distinguished in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Not a few, having put in their term of military service, are now passing their days in the ranks. WHEN WHISKERS WERE TAXED. An English periodical is authority for the statement that whiskers were once esteemed a great luxury In that country. They were taxed along with other privileges. Widowers, as well as bachelors, had to pay an annual tax in former times. In the days of Henry VIII, a tax was imposed for the privilege of wearing a beard. It was a tax on a sliding scale, the rates being adjusted according to the social status of the whiskerando. Queen Elizabeth, it is stated, had even more stringent notions than her father on the subject of whiskers. She fixed a similar tax on every beard of over two weeks' growth. Thus we see how Shakespeare was burdened with a fixed financial charge which has been escaped by Bernard Shaw and Hall Caine. Charitable. "You never wonder, with the rest of the neighbors, what good qualities Mr. Burble has in his husband." No, I give Mrs. Burble "credit for having a microscopic eye."

NO BRAGGING WANTED THERE Working Man Discovers That Boosting About His Flock of Fowls Does Not Pay. A north country working man recently took to keeping fowls, and within a week his fellow-workmen were weary of hearing him refer to the subject. At length, and as the result of a deep-laid plot among his fellows, somebody broke into his fowlhouse one night and carried off the much-beloved birds. After this there was a little peace at the works. The victim of the plot went to the other extreme, and when, a week or two later, he got a fresh supply of birds, he didn't even mention the fact to his mates. He had recognized that boasting did not pay, and he had no intention of indulging in it in future. Neither was he going to permit boasting on the premises. Going home to his dinner the other day, he heard one of his latest purchases loudly announcing that she had laid an egg. Rushing into the fowhouse, the owner seized the offender and wring her neck. Then, holding up his victim as a dreadful warning to the others, he blurted out: "There! Ye understand! Lay as oft as ye like, but I will he n braggh' aboot it!"—London Tit-Bits. Always Better to Laugh Jane Jones said "Laughin' at trouble is a sight more sensible than cryin' at it. I've seen whole families broke up by one megsly little quarrel, jes' because none of 'em had sense enough to know when 'twas time for laughin'. You can't stay long if all you git is laughin' at an 'fun pokin'." Slurring It Over. "I'm a poor conversationist at these highbrow dinner parties. I'm always afraid of mispronouncing some word."

It has not been reported who won the prize in the drilling line, Lexington or Kansas City, Mo., K. of P. To Mayview, Mo. A large number of people went to Mayview, Mo., Sunday morning to attend the annual sermon of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. They returned Sunday evening, stating they all had a lovely time. WAYMAN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. The last quarterly meeting occurred last Sunday and the church was packed. The public collection was $42.

He thinks that the windy city is fine. While here he met several of his old friends. Among them were: R. S. Abbott, M. Mapp and Sam G. Prentice. While here he was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Mapp, 4328 Cottage Grove avenue. He was a school and classmate of Mr. Prentice. Childish Beliefs. Yes, children believe plenty of queer things. I suppose all of you have had the pocketbook fever when you were little. What do I mean? Why, ripping up old pocketbooks in the firm belief that bank bills to an immense amount were hidden in them. So, too, you must all remember some splendid unfulfilled promise of somebody or other, which fed you with hopes perhaps for years, and which left a blank in your life which nothing has ever filled up—Holmes. Liquid Glue. An excellent cold liquid glue is made as follows: Dilute 2 to $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ parts crude nitric acid with 40 to 50 of water, soak in this 25 parts of glue for twenty-four hours and then heat the mixture until it is homogeneous. The quantity of acid used depends on the quality of the glue. (Enter small boy with two books under his arm.) Small Boy (to young woman librarian)—My mother wants two new books. She says she hasn't a thing to read. Librarian—Very well. Lay the books down, Jimmy, and I'll see what I can do when I get through putting these things away. Jimmy (laying the books on the table)—She says not to send her anything she already read. She says last time Miss Smith seat her a book she'd read and she was awful mad because she says Miss Smith does that all the time. She says she won't send for books any more when Miss Smith's here. Librarian (mentally admiring Miss Smith's perplexity and determining to follow her example—Well, I'll try to find her something she hasn't read. Jimmy—Say, she says for me to tell you not to send her any more of these here old books about dogs and animals and things. She says last time you sent her one of these old nature factory books and she just hated it. And she says —Hello Fritz! (to second small boy, who enters, followed by a dog). "Say, I been lookin' for you. Say, I'm going to smash your face for telling the fellers I can't pitch at the game Saturday. I bet I can pitch a million times better'n you can and then some. I bet I could pitch you out this window easy as ple. I bet I could— Librarian—Boys, you must be quiet. Jimmy, here's a book for your mother. Jimmy—] bet she won't like this one. She don't never like these here brown colored ones. Say, Fritz, you come on outside and I'll punch your head for you. I bet I'll learn you not to go round sayin'—(Small boys' clatter out.) (Enters young woman with a book which she throws down on the desk.) Young Woman—Bess Perkins, what did you mean my recommending that book to me? If you do such a thing again I will have you arrested for making false representations. It's the stupidest thing I ever struck. Do you mean to say you really liked it? Librarian—Yes, I did like it very much. But you must remember that I told you I didn't know whether you would like it or not. All I said was that I liked it. (Laughs.) Young Woman—Oh, I suppose your taste is good enough, Bess, but in this case yours and mine don't agree. Say, is this all the new fiction you have? Why, I never saw such a poky old library. Why don't you get some good books? Librarian—That's a very brilliant idea, my dear. I'll speak to the library board about it. You know the board selects the books and it is always glad to have practical suggestions. Young Woman—You're rather brilliant yourself this afternoon it seems to me. (She saunters around the room for a few minutes, taking down a book occasionally and putting it back again with disgusted expression. "I wish they'd put me on the library board. I'd like to show them the kind of books they ought to buy. But as you haven't anything fit to read, I'll go home and swear awhile. I'm making a perfectly beautiful embroidered waist. I will bring it over here tomorrow and show it to you. Librarian—Ifing it over and work on it and keep me company. There hasn't been anybody here today but two small boys and a dog, and probably there won't be anybody tomorrow, so we can have the place to ourselves. Young Woman—That'll be fine. I'll bring some lemons and sugar and some cookies and we can have a little tea party. Librarian—Don't forget. Be sure to come. Goodby. (Young woman departs. Enter small boy, slamming the door behind him.) Small Boy—Say, Miss Perkins, tell me a good book to read. Say, the last time I was to the library Miss Smith she handed me a lemon, all right. It was named "The Parents' Insistent," or something. Say, it was the limit. I never read but one of the stories, but that one was on the bum, all right. Say, it was 'bout a feller had a piece of string or something and he rolled it in a ball and key' it, and put it in his pocket and everything, and then one day he broke his bow 'n arer and he took the string and fixed it, and he got the prize. Say, I nearly died laught in the story. I bet I wouldn't a kep that little old piece of string like he did. Say, Miss Perkins, I got to speak a piece at school the last day. Say, can you tell me something to speak? Librarian—What kind of a piece do you have to have, Fred? Fred—Oh, something funny, or maybe something not funny. I don't know; just some kind of a piece. One of the kids he's going to recite something, I've forgotten what he's going to recite. Say, Miss Perkins, here's a piece of gum. A kid out here give it to me and I'm going to bust it in two and give you a piece. Librarian (hastily)—Oh, don't bother to break it, Fred. You'd better keep it all. Fred—Aw, be a sport. I bet you're afraid somebody'll see you chwin' it. Gee! There's Jack Parker out there. I guess I better go out and see him about the game Saturday. (Exit.) Librarian (with a sigh of relief)—Well, our feast of reason and flow of soul is over for today. I shall now make a lightning change from librarian to janitress and close the library. .Chance Remark. "The capitalist your aviator friend was talking to about his invention for a regular, passenger air line hurt the inventor's feelings very much." "How so?" "When the inventor was most enthusiastic about the great things he expected to do the capitalist told him to cut out the pipe dreams and come down to earth." Entire City Turns Out to Honor One of Its Foremost Citizens—City Proud of This Successful Business Man—As Proprietor and Owner of the First Race Theater in America He Was Known the World Over—Church Had to Be Emptied to Allow the Crowds Outside to View Remains. THE ENTIRE CITY MOURNS HIS LOSS. Rev. Thomas Out of Town, Rev. Cook Preaches Remarkable Sermon in His Stead—Impressive Musical Program by Prominent Artists—Special Funeral Car to Boyhood Home. Funeral services over the remains of Mr. Robert T. Motts, one of Chicago's foremost citizens, and prominent in the theatrical circles as propeller and manager of "The Pelkin," the first race theater in the United States, who died at his residence, 4110 Calumet avenue, Monday evening last, were held in Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church Thursday afternoon. No funeral in the memory of the writer has brought out such a vast crowd of people as did that of Mr. Motts. Only one other occasion, somewhat over a year ago, ever filled State street and Wabash avenue as it did Thursday. "That Chicago loves to honor its worthy citizens" was made manifest during the impressive services, when it was necessary to empty the church to allow the waiting throng outside to view the remains. The services proper were remarkable for their simplicity, but the vast assemblage that filled this spacious auditorium and listened through several hours of intense heat, added impressiveness to this already solemn occasion. Rev. Cook, the pastor, began the services with the announcement that he was surprised to learn that he would have to preach, as he understood that Rev. J. F. Thomas, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, was to have had that honor. However, Rev. Thomas was out of the city and services began. Rev. Callis, pastor of Zion A. M. E. Church, made the invocation, followed in turn by an eloquent sermon by the pastor, Rev. W. D. Cook, and the Rev. Roberts of Bethel Church. The scriptural readings and these addresses were interspersed by solos by some of our prominent artists. Mrs. L. Richard Hyrum (nee Miss Marie Burton) sang, "Flee as a Bird to Yon Mountain"; Mr. Charles Creighton Thompson rendered his brother's, De Koven Thompson's "Dear Lord Remember Me." Others who contributed to this acceptable program of song were Mme. Anita Pattie Brown and TURNED TO HUSBAND. Mrs. Elnora Wright, 3149 State street, our lady barber, who left the city for Hot Springs about a month ago, returned to the city after a week overdue. Telegrams and letters were sent telling her that her husband was crying and fretting himself thin and all that, but she would not come until she had taken her twenty-one and one-half baths. Finally a reporter for the Defender made up a ruse which brought the lady back to the city. A telegram was sent from the Defender's office telling her that the porter in her barber shop was using her pet razor to shave the shop's dog. This was more than she could stand. Immediately came an answer stating: "I will be on the next train, therefore taking only 20 baths, leaving the one and one-half for next year." She looks the picture of health, and says "the South may be all right and all that, but believe me, when I see refined colored men jumping around like a lot of little boys for another man because his face is white, I became disgusted with them." They act down there like they are slaves after 50 years of freedom. Are we not more advanced men? Be men. I will write of the true conditions down there in your next issue. TO THE PEOPLE WHO ADVERTISE By J. R. Winston. The science of advertising is a business in itself, and must be given careful study. Every advertisement written is worth only the results that it brings, whether written by a brilliant or poor writer. Systematic and steady advertising brings the best results; stop it for any length of time and you will find the lost ground that has to be made up. Study the advertisements of others; correct those you consider bad; pick out those you believe to be good and paste in a scrap book; keep your name before the public. But whatever you advertise, do it better than others. Good advertising brings good results and the Chicago Defender is the paper that reaches the people who buy.

Accomplished In Profanity This from Hawaii: "A native woman called on the attorney general the other day to complain of the bad language used by the child of a neighbor in the presence of her own tots. 'How old is your neighbor's child?' queried the attorney general. 'About six,' replied the woman. 'I shouldn't think that a child of that age could use much bad language,' remarked the attorney general. 'You ought to hear him,' exclaimed the woman. 'Why, he can swear just as good as his father,' The Resemblance. The Little Chap "We're getting up a tug-o-war between the married and single men. You're married, aren't you?"

Mrs. Della Ridgeway Brown. Prof. Morris presided at the organ throughout the service. The Pekin orchestra also contributed sexual selections. Mr. Motts was a member of Great Lakes Lodge No. 43 of the Elks, and this order turned out in large numbers. The Lady Elks were also well represented. The funeral cortege from the family home to the church, and from the church back to Jackson's undertaking establishment, filled the streets and the windows of the houses en route with thousands of his friends who stood with uncovered heads as the solemn procession went by. Attended by active and honorary pallbearers, a list of which would include all of the city's most prominent business and professional men, the body was rested until train time, 11 p. m., when in a special car, the remains were taken to Washington, Iowa, his boyhood home. Floral tributes filled several carriages. They were too numerous for individual mention of the donors and too intricate in make-up for a newspaper article. Undertaker Dan Jackson had the funeral in charge. During the crowded times of the service Undertaker J. L. Park and P. T. Taylor of "Johnson's" volunteered and rendered him valuable assistance. In the funeral part we noticed Hon. Ed D. Green, Dr. D. H. Williams, Mr. John Fuy, Mr. Joseph Dunn, Mr. George Height, Mr. Wm Cowan, Mr. Jim Miller, Mr. Henry (Teenan) Jones, Mr. L. B. Anderson, Prof. Wm. Emanuel and Mr. Wm. Bell. Mr. Motts was born in Washington, Iowa, June 24, 1861, and came to Chicago in 1880. His first work was that of a coachman, from which his sturdy character lifted him to a place of influence and wealth. He is survived by a sister, Miss Lucy Lindsey, with whom he lived, a brother, Fred Motts, and his family. His three nephews, who are well known in this city, were given their start in life out of his generous heart. The Place to Keep Cool—No Alligators, No Mosquitoes. By J. Fenton Johnson. Benton Harbor, Mich., July 21. I am one of the weary week-enders, seeking rest in the shade of Michigan's woods. "Week-ender" is a new word among us, since the West Michigan resort has come into existence, but it has passed the muster of severe social critics. There are several other "week-enders" dipping in the cool lake and lying on the warm sand beaches. Dr. George Hall, Edward H. Wright, Mark Cowan, Rufus Estes and others are enjoying the quiet of a Sunday afternoon by the lake, forming a "Week-End Club." And all of us are proudly wearing the week-end badge. Why am I so enthusiastic over this place? Here I am transplanted to Arcadia, to a forest of Arden, bounded by a vast expanse of blue water. Over me is the sky, rich with golden clouds and a streamer of sunlight. Great trees everywhere protect me from the worries of this life. Stretched out on a bench, without the conventionality of coat or hat, I lie with my volume of Cervantes. I hear nothing but the soft music of the waves and the breeze as it comes through the trees. Down below, at about a distance of a hundred and eighty feet, my fellow guests in their bathing suits are enjoying the elements. In the evening I sleep in one of the little frame houses owned by the management, and drink in the inspiration of the fresh lake breezes. When I awaken after such a night's rest, indeed I am ready to enjoy the breakfast gleaned largely from products of the resort's garden. It is no wonder that teachers from the different universities and secondary schools in the south come here to calm their overworked nerves. It is no wonder that the professional man and the proverbially tired business man forget everything Saturday noon and come to this modern Arcadia. This resort was established three years by residents of Chicago, St. Louis and Indianapolis. This year it is under the management of Prof. W. H. Huffman of St. Louis. The property is worth $20,000. It has a dining room and over a dozen cottages and tents, and controls ten acres of land. To me it seems as if the race is slowly evolving an Atlantic City to go side by side with Robert T. Motts' Pekin theater. The past week the following guests registered: Dr. George C. Hall, Rufus Estes, Dr. and Mrs. H. M. Smith, Elijah Johnson, Mrs. Elijah Johnson, Albert Johnson, Mrs. Wallace, Prof. S. O. Johnson of Louisville, David Manson, Lester Stubbs, Minnie Calloway, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Cowan, Hon. and Mrs. E. H. Wright, Mr. George Waller, Paul Herron, Mr. Catlin, Maj. Dennison, Charles McGooden and wife, Dr. W. H. Smith and Fenton Johnson. Good Advice for Preacher: Among the stories related by the late Rev. Dr. A. F. Pierson was one of a marble-cutter, with chisel and hammer, working a block of stone into a statue. A preacher who was looking on said: "I wish I could, on hearts of stone, deal such transforming blows." "Perhaps you might," was the workman's quiet answer, "if, like me, you worked on your knees." Old Dominion Coin Bread Is Really Delicious—Mushroom Soup, Cheese Algrettes and Ginger Cream Worth the Trouble. Old Dominion Corn Bread — The night before take cup yellow cornmeal and half cup rice, put into a good sized bowl with a piece of butter the size of an egg, a pluck of salt and a tablespoon of sugar. Pour over this sufficient boiling water (be sure the water is boiling) to make the mixture a thick paste. Cover tightly and let stand till morning. In the morning prepare two ple tins for making. Then take a tea cup of sweet milk or cream and three well beaten eggs, add the milk to eggs and beat. Then dissolve two large teaspoons of baking powder in a little extra 'milk. Pour the milk and egg mixture into the cornmeal and beat well. Then add the baking powder dissolved in milk. Bake at once in a quick oven for 15 or 20 minutes. If the mixture is allowed to stand before baking, or if the oven is cool the egg will separate and form a custard on top, but if properly prepared this makes a corn bread without an equal. Should be eaten hot right from the oven. Mushroom Soup—Quart of milk, plant mushrooms, two tablespoons butter, tablespoon flour, minced onion, salt and pepper to taste. Stew the mushrooms and onion with half cup of milk till tender, then mash and rub them through a colander. Pour this into the quart of milk and place over the fire in a double boiler. Cream the butter and flour together, and when the milk is at boiling point pour about a cup into the creamed flour and butter, stirring until smooth. Pour this into the boiling milk and stir until thick as cream. Add seasoning and serve with cubes of toast. Cheese Aigrettes—Boll together half a cup of water and quarter cup of butter; sift into this half a cup of four, a pinch of salt and seasoning of parrika; beat until the mass forms a ball. Let it cool a few moments; then break in three eggs and beat, one at a time Add third of cup of grated cheese (Parmesan preferred), drop by teaspoon on greased pan or oiled paper, leaving a good space between each spoonful of mixture. Bake in a hot oven till light and puffy and well browned. Serve hot with butter. Ginger Cream—Cut in small, thin pieces three ounces of preserves Cantalon ginger; put this in a bowl with three dessert spoons of the syrup and the well beaten yolk of four eggs and a pint of sweet cream. Mix these ingredients well together and then cook in a double boiler ten minutes or till thick. Then take from the fire and beat with a wire whisk until cool. Add two teaspoons of pulverized sugar and one ounce of gelatine, previously soaked in water to dissolve. Beat all together until thoroughly mixed; put in a mold and keep on ice or in cold water in a draught of air until serving time. This makes a very dainty and delicious dessert. Whipped cream piled about the mound adds to the appearance, but is not necessary. Do You Know That to clean screens they should be scrubbed with gasoline, into which has been dipped a soft scrubbing brush, then varnished? That a slice of lemon put into the copper when boiling clothes will make them beautifully white and will remove all stains from handkerchiefs and children's clothes? Cut the lemon with the rind into slices and allow it to remain in the boiler until the clothes are ready to come out. That a bit of reliable coloring placed in the water in which a tub frock is washed will restore its color and may be used with safety if it is properly rinsed and dried? This applies only to such gowns as are not trimmed with white or other colored trimming. Cod Flah Salad. Shred one pound of old-fashioned salt cod fish, tearing in narrow strips. Allow to soak over night in cold water. The next morning drain off the water, put the fish in a saucepan, cover with cold water and simmer for thirty minutes from the time it commences to boll. It must not boll hard or it will toughen. Drain well, separate the pieces and put in a salad bowl with an equal quantity of cold boiled sliced potatoes, one chopped gherkin, one hard cooked egg, cut in rings, and, if you have it, half a cupful of sliced celery. Arrange on crisp lettuce leaves and mask with a boiled dressing. Banana Split. First have your bananas thoroughly chilled in refrigerator for several hours if possible. Remove the skin from a banana, leaving the skin whole, fill it with ice cream, pour some kind of fruit sirup or maple sugar sauce over the ice cream, lay two or three maraschino cherries on top of this if it is fruit sirup, or sprinkle nuts if it is maple sirup. Lay the peeled banana on same plate beside the ice cream if it is served in oblong plate, or slice and place the fruit around if served on a round plate. This serves one person. Delicious Rice Waffles. Three-quarters cup flour, two tablespoons sugar, $2\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoons baking powder, one-quarter teaspoon, salt. Sift thoroughly together. Into this work two-thirds cup cold cooked rice; use tips of fingers. Add $1\frac{1}{4}$ cups milk, one egg. one tablespoon melted butter. Fruit Whiff. One pint sweet cream, one quart box strawberries, one third box gelatin, 1 1/4 cups sugar, whites of four eggs, one teaspoon lemon extract. Mince strawberries and sweeten; soak gelatin and add a little hot water; beat whites of eggs stiff and cream thick and light; strain gelatin; add flavoring, then strawberries; beat all a few minutes; set in a cool place or on ice.

The graduating exercises from the Primary Department of our Sunday school were very creditable. Mrs. Bryant and her assistants, Mrs. Williams and Miss Branch, deserve special mention. The nine graduates' knowledge of what had been taught them is sufficient proof that the work has been thoroughly done. These are the first graduates, so far as I know, from any department of our school. It is hoped that it is the beginning of greater things for us and more thorough instruction in the word of God. The entertainment given by the Missionary Society was a success in every way. The recitations and music were not only carefully selected, but were rendered in such a manner as to please an appreciative audience. There was nothing left of the refrshments except the vessel which contained them. The members went home with smiles on their faces. A "Grand Prize Debate" will be given for the benefit of the Second Baptist church under the auspices of the trustee board, Friday night, July 28. The admission will be 10 cents.

Secondly, we should be nourished upon every event of the day, on every object and influence that the Creator has strewn along our path. To become domesticated in nature and dwell in it as in the bosom of the family, as in dear intimacies of gladness and peace, to is claim life's promise. Let us be alert to the innumerable influences of earth and heaven, hastening with pleasure to meet the processional as it comes garlanded and smiling to meet us. Let us cast ourselves trustingly in the mid-stream of power that bears all onward, struggling on its full tide, floating in the very center of the flood, reclining on its swift bosom as it makes for the sea. Let us submit ourselves to God and the conquering right—to truth, to love, to beauty and power. Then the kingdom announced from the beginning of the world will organize itself with the ease and grandeur of the oak. Then in order to be good, every-day Christians we must put the most into life from a Christian standpoint. It is health and appetite that impart sweetness to bread and water; it is the quality of life that gives the mountain air its exhilarating property. An invalid will swoon on glowing altitudes, dying amid the purest ethers. The musical creator creates nothing; he only discovers the music that is already in his soul, and the sounds of the harmonic universe become a confused noise to him who has no melody in his nature. As we become in ourselves deeper, purer, sweeter, so do the things about us reveal like graces. Place yourself in line with universal law, accept the will of God, make a full use of life, and your desires will be attained. (End.) Mrs. Hattie Utley of Chicago spent two days with her sister, Mrs. James Landers, 1103 Clark street. Evanston Man in Accident. Mr. Jas.

MAN FLOATS A WHOLE DAY Indifferent Swimmar Keeps Afloat in Ocoan by Pure Life-Saving Instinct. A French fisherman, a most indifferent swimmer, was knocked overboard in a storm twenty miles from the French coast, going into the briny with all his clothing on, including oilskins and heavy rubber boots. Almost twenty-four hours afterward two men working a small boat along the French coast, plicking up eel pots near the mouth of a creek, saw what appeared to be the nude body of a drowned man borne toward them by the incoming tide. They secured the body with a rope and towed it ashore. There, to their amazement, they detected signs of animation and, falling to work like the sensible men they were, soon restored the man to consciousness. It was the fisherman who had gone overboard in the storm. The overboard fisherman, twenty miles from land, knew he could not swim far, but he also knew the human body is lighter than water, especially salt water, and will float indefinitely unless water is taken into the lungs and stomach. This fisherman managed to get off oilskins, rubber boots and at last every stitch of clothing. Thus freed, he floated and, the storm abating to a steady breeze shoreward, his slight swimming spurts were assisted in partly overcoming the ebb tide and he had the full benefit of two flood tides carrying him toward shore. The man said he must have lost consciousness several hours before being picked up, but kept afloat by pure life saving instinct. DOG'S EYE GRAFTED ON MAN'S American Oculist Restores Lost Sight by Performing Wonderful Operation. That a person totally blind from ophthalmia, even from birth, can be made to see by having a portion of a dog's eye grafted on his own was the startling communication made by Doctor Borsch, an American oculist at present in Paris, in a paper read before the meeting of the French Ophthalmia society a few days ago. Doctor Borsch explained that as a result of blindness from ophthalmia, as also from some other causes, the cornea, which is the transparent membrane in front of the eye, becomes opaque and in such a case the only chance of restoring sight is to replace the defective cornea by a healthy one. To perform this feat, Dr. Borsch first operates on a dog and lays back from its eye the conjunctiva or skin of the eyeball surrounding the cornea. He removes a portion of the latter and places it aside in blood serum. He then performs the same operation on the patient's eye, removing part of the front of the eye of the same size as the cornea, taken from the animal. The dog's cornea is now placed in position on the human eye and secured with stitches of the finest possible silk, the surrounding skin, which had been laid back, being brought into place over the edge of the cornea and also sewn. The new graft unites with the eye in a few days, aided by a temporary glass cover to keep it in shape and injections of serum to stimulate vitality. True Enlightenment "When we get enlightened we find that the way to attain harmony with God is by conforming ourselves to him, not by seeking to conform him to us. By and by we find that there is a God of infinite perfection in power, wisdom, justice, love and holiness; and then we find that God needs no instruction, for he is all wise, and before the beginning he knew all which would happen in the history of the human race. He needs no appeasing to alter his affection, for he is all love, and has an infinite desire to confer the highest possible or conceivable blessing on the whole human race, and on each individual thereof. When we come to this conclusion we take pains to bring ourselves into harmony with God. All sacrifice disappears; all mutilation of the flesh or spirit, all ceremonies which do not grow out of the natural wants of mankind."—Theodore Parker. Explaining It. A man was recently fined for assaulting a policeman, and considering himself badly treated, made abusive remarks about the court as he was leaving the dock. An officer was sent to bring him back, and he was again fined, this time for contempt of court. "My friend," said the magistrate, "If you had been more chaste and refined in your language you would not have been chased and re-fined."—The Pathfinder. BONE OF MASTADON Unearthed While Excavating Cellar at Albert Lea, Minn. Presented to Department of Zoology at University of Minnesota and Installed In Museum—Two Other Specimens. St. Paul, Minn.—A vertebra of a prehistoric mastodon who roamed the plains of Minnesota 200,000 years ago, before the glaciers sweeping down from the north had devastated the feeding grounds of its kind, exhumed at Albert Lea by workmen excavating for a cellar, has just been received by the department of zoology at the university and installed in the museum. Discovered in a state where little research work in prehistoric life has been done, it is considered by university specialists as a most valuable contribution to world-wide science. It is the second discovery of the kind made in Minnesota. Seven years ago a knee bone and leg bone of a mastodon were found at Bralnerd, near White Fish lake, by a workman digging a ditch, and sent to the university museum. A year ago the head of a mastodon, found near Valentine, Neb., consisting of the upper jaws, tusks and neck bones, was sent to the university, where it is now on exhibition. The three exhibits, representing the different parts of the body, give a good idea of the size and shape of the pre-gnacial beast. The vertebra discovered at Albert Lea was found 12 feet below the surface of the ground, in the glacial drift, by Charles E. May. It is called the atlas bone, a vertebra located at the neck, and is of enormous size, measuring two feet across from shoulder to shoulder. From the top of the neck down it is fully a foot deep. The bone is carefully preserved in every detail, there being no sign of crumbling or decay. Though the excavation at Albert Lea was prolonged in the hope of discovering other parts of the skeleton, none was discovered. The absence of other bones, however, is easily explained by experts in paleontology at the university. Members of the department say carnivorous beasts of that period who preyed upon the mastodon may have detached the bone from the skeleton and carried it to the spot where it was found, either to eat the meat from it or play with it as a modern coyote, tiger or cat frequently plays with its prey, or separating itself from the carcass as it decomposed, it may have rolled down a prehistoric hillside no longer exiting or have been carried there by the glaciers. BAKED BEANS ARE REPLACED Spaghetti Is Now Popular Dish in Boston—One Merchant Alone Imported 500,000 Cases. Boston.—Who hath done murder to Boston bean? Boston is honeycombed with restaurants and eats persistently, earnestly; and enthusiastically. The dish that characterizes its eating is spaghetti. One Boston merchant imported 600, 000 cases of spaghetti in 1905. Last year he imported more than 900,000 cases. This is something over 12,000 tons. This year all records are expected to go by the board. And this in the town where the bill of fare is supposed to be beans, beans, beans, occasionally varied with the beloved cod, though the testimony of restaurant men is that Boston eats no more beans per capita than other cities, but holds the spaghetti championship of the western hemisphere. The consumption of beans is falling off yearly in contrast with the gain made by spaghetti. SONS COME AFTER FATHERS M. Jean Barailhe, Recently Appointed as Notary at Saint Sauvoy, is Eleventh of His Line. Paris.—M. Jean Barallhe has just been appointed notary at Saint-Sauvy, in the Gers department, in succession to his father, who has resigned. What is unique about this appointment is that he is the eleventh member of the same family which has succeeded each other from father to son for 315 years. The royal ordinance which appointed Blaine Barallhe of this long line of men of law is dated from Pau, December 23, 1596, and was signed by Catherine, sister of Henri IV. In 1896 the corporation of notaries of the district of Auch held a banquet in honor of M. Armand Barallhe, who has just resigned. It was at this banquet that M. Jean Barallhe announced his intention of carrying on the family traditions and succeeding to his father as notary at Saint-Sauvy. Millions to Servants. London.-By the will of the late Sir Thomas A. de la Rue, head of the famous firm of manufacturers of playing cards, which was published the other day showing an estate of more than $4,000,000, his two sons inherit only $200,000 all. All the rest, with the exception of $35,000 to hospitals, is left to servants who spent their lives in his employment. Submarine Under 18 Hours Paris...During tests at Toulon the submarine boat Argonaut was submerged for eighteen hours. The crew suffered no discomfort. This is claimed to be a record for submersion of a vessel of this kind. TONS OF CASH FILL DOCK Money Treasure on Pier Unguarded Because Face Value Doesn't Exceed $4 - Comes From Korea. New York.—Fourteen hundred tons of cash money was tossed ashore the other day when the steamship Seneca came alongside her pler at the Bush docks, Brooklyn, but no special police were on hand to guard the treasure, for the face value of all this money would not aggregate $4. The Seneca comes from various eastern ports. She takes out oil from New York and returns with a nondescript assortment of freight. Coincident with the annexation of Korea, the Japanese government announced the substitution of Japanese money for the Korean colonage. The Korean banks immediately called in all the existing currency and the Korean mints started working overtime to make yen. The Korean, who is not, in the habit of buying luxuries, seldom carried anything larger than "cash," a coin about the size of an American cent. A thousand "cash" were the equivalent of an American dollar. As the native scorns a purse, and as the women never wear stockings, the government thoughtfully stamps a square aperture through the center of the coin so that the native may string them together and carry them around his neck. To the Korean mind that is both convenient and ornamental. In fact, the Korean society believed to get quite worked up if her particular rival carried more strings of "cash" than she did. It was not long before an American syndicate learned that all the wealth of Korea was lying around in heaps, and that moss was growing on it. Negotiations were started and long the 300,000 tons of accumulated cash had been purchased and the consignment on the Seneca is the first shipment brought to this port. The syndicate will melt the coins and extract from them the silver and the copper of which they are made. The silver and copper will be sold to the government, whose mints will use them in turning out big silver dollars and little red cents. NEED WOMEN OF CHARACTER Charlotte Cary, Superintendent of Moody Bible Institute, Declares New Type Is Developing. Chicago.—"A new woman is being developed in America who shows a decline in character from our mothers and grandmothers," was the assertion of Miss Charlotte A. Cary, superintendent of women of the Moody Bible Institute, who spoke at the dedication of the new women's building. "The great need of this country," Miss Cary said, "is women of character. I do not apologize for this statement—I want every man to hear it. There is everywhere a recognized decline in the standards governing all forms of social activity, whether in the home, the church, the school or society. "A new woman is being developed. She dresses, perhaps, more tastefully, even more sensibly; she talks more easily, she touches life more broadly. She has a cultivation and an education that her mother knew nothing of, yet with all this there is not the commensurate advance in her integrity and principle. As a result the country is everywhere suffering." MOVES HOUSE TO PAINT IT St. Louis Woman Was Refused Ladder Room by Her Sister-In-Law—Get Around Difficulty. St. Louis, Mo.—Mrs. Emma Martin, 6423 Spencer place, St. Louis county, employed a man to paint her home. Three sides of the house grew radiant under the painter's brush and he carried his ladder around to the north side. Instantly Mrs. Martin's next door neighbor, Mrs. Arthur Moore, appeared on the scene with a warning hand uplifted. "You can't come on my land with your ladders and paint pot," she declared ominously. The painter retreated and consulted Mrs. Martin, who admitted that the land on which the ladder would have to stand was Mrs. Moore's. They were sister-in-laws, she explained, but had not been friends for some time. Unable to restrain Mrs. Moore through the courts, Mrs. Martin had her house moved two feet and the painting work was finished. Cafe Seats 20,000 Diners Berlin.—The new Zoological Garden restaurant, the world's greatest eating house, has been opened in Berlin in the presence of representatives of the government, the municipality, and a distinguished assembly of leading Berliners.

There are 1,000 waiters, and the kitchen staff exceeds 500. The restaurant has its own laundry and own bakery. Tree Cuts House In Two. Bridgeport, Conn.-While the family of William Crates were about to retire the other night they were startled by a sudden, deafening crash as a massive tree fell from an adjoining yard and smashed through the roof. The tree cut the house in two, making a clean path through the garret and two bedrooms. The huge trunk can not be removed without practically tearing the house down. $65,00.
