PAUL LAURANCE DUNBAR'S BEST WORKS IN EUROPE. Mr. Mark A. Luescher Tells, Through the New York Dramatic News, How the Colored Men Are Given Leading Parts in Grand Opera, and How Even the Kaiser in Germany Applauds Them When the Curtain Rises. --- Mark A. Luescher, of Werba & Luescher, after a five weeks' scouting trip through Europe, arrived on the Lusaka Friday. Mr. Luescher went abroad to arrange for the musical comedy it which his firm is to star Alice Llord new season and to close up contracts for several Continental successes. Incidentally, Mr. Luescher saw the King crowned in London and signed the greatest star of the London Music Halls, Wilkie Bard, for a musical comedy tour in America, and then visited Paris and Berlin. He was met in Paris by George Marion, and they saw a performance of "The Jolly Peasant," Leo Fall's Viennese operetta, in which Werba & Luescher are to star Mr. Marion next season. The costume designs for "The Jolly Peasant" were accepted and contracts signed with Hugo Baruch & Co., of Berlin, to make the production. Composer Fall also agreed to furnish four new musical numbers for the opera, in accordance with suggestions by Mr. Marion, and the piece will be ready for production in October. In Berlin they saw the first performance of "Die Verbotene Kuss," the new opera by Heinrich Reinhardt, composer of "The Spring Mald," and also heard Paul Lincke's new opera, "Gree Groe," on both of which Werba & Luescher have secured options. Mr. Luescher thinks "Die Verbotene Kuss" ("The Forbidden Kiss") will be just the thing for Wilkie Bard's starring tour. Werba & Luescher consider it quite some victory to secure Mr. Bard. In the last few years he has become the craze of the Englisch vaudeville stage, being even a greater favorite there than Harry Lauder. Bard is a most finished comedian and singer, and Americans who have heard him predict he will make a fortune in this country. Vaudeville agents have given him as high as $3,500 a week to come over, but Bard has long desired to get away from vaudeville. His starring tour, under the Webra-Luescher management, will not begin until next year. Mr. Luescher has also secured an option on the services of Marie George for the firm's production of Granich-staedten's "Bub oder Maedel," an exquisite Viennese work, with a score said to be as charming as that of "The Spring Maid." Miss George has been a favorite in London for the past 5 years and is most pleasantly remembered in New York for her work with Francis Wilson, and old-time Casino productions. Beatrice Von Brunner, the little American girl, who is being talked of a possible successor to Lilly Elsie in London, is also under an optional contract for the same production. Mr. Luescher also secured four manuscripts from which to select Miss Lloyd's starring piece. They are by Leslie Stuart, Paul Rubens, Paul Lincke and Herrman Finke. The latter is counted the coming musical composer of Europe. His "Shadow Dance" song is a musical craze both in England and on the Continent. Two new manuscripts were also brought by Mr. Luescher for Lillian Russell. One is "The Opera Ball," and the other is a new piece by Gran- WHY A GREAT MANY OF OUR RACE ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL MANAGERS.

If you believe ichstadten, called "Her Majesty Mini." Werba & Luescher have also secured "Potnische Wirtschaft," a new musical piece which has recently taken Berlin, and for which there was considerable competition. They will be associated with Messrs. Fellner and Dreyfus in its American presentation. Two new character plays for Louis Mann are also among the collection of foreign pieces secured by Werba & Luescher. One is "The Whirlpool," by Felix Renneau, and the other is called "The Player of Oberammergau." Charles McNaughton, a brother of Tom McNaughton, of "The Spring Mal," one of the most prominent English comedians, will also be under the Werba-Luescher banner, probably in the company that is to support Alice Lloyd. While abroad Mr. Luescher also arranged with F. C. Whitney for the London production of "The Spring Mal," in September. "The most surprising thing I saw abroad," remarked Mark A. Laescher on his return trip this week, "were the new pieces with colored heroes. For years Americans have observed that the colored man in England and on the Continent was often received in good society. In the fashionable cafes and hotel one might see a black prize-fighter or vaudeville performer seated at the same table with white patrons. "The foreigners have now gone a step farther and are putting him into hero roles in their plays. This is especially noticeable in Germany, where it is common talk that a colored visitor or an Indian is treated as if he were some being from a superior race. "One new operetta has a colored hero with whom a white girl is in love and the piece is creating a sensation. There is another piece now running in Berlin that has a colored character most prominent. These works, naturally, would need considerable revision before they would be acceptable to the American public. "The colored man is not being lionized in England as much as formerly, in Germany he is receiving unusual attention. I was told that not long ago the police had to be stationed near a certain theater to keep white girls away from the stage door. "The foreign stage seems to be in a period of transition, leading to better work than ever before. There are a dozen huge successes in London and nearly as many in Paris and Berlin. The music is almost wholly by the new school of Viennese writers such as Reinhardt, of 'Spring Maid' fame; Lehar, who wrote 'The Merry Widow, Gypsey Love' and 'The Count of Luxembourg'; Leo Fall, composer of 'The Jolly Pleasant' and 'The Dollar Princess'; Granichstaedten, Paul Lincke and others. "While abroad I was pleased to learn that the success of 'The Spring Maid' in New York was known to every one and its coming success in London is being freely predicted." your business and regard your project as important, approach your man with something definite to say; say it, then stop. Give him time to reflect over your proposition. Make your sentences short and to the point. Study your customer and learn all you can about him. Look him squarely in the eye and you will get the measure of his mental condition and know when his interest is aroused. Get him to see or think that you are interested in his interests and there to do him good, and you will succeed in making a good manager. If you are sincere you will build up a close friendship with him and no matter who you are with or what you are selling, you will always find him a customer.

Be alive, energetic, active, confident and you will draw people and their money to you, which would otherwise go elsewhere. In the future the public will demand a more progressive, high grade service than heretofore, and the one who is best prepared will be the one to win the greatest success. Never depend on others. Go to the front, throw aside all backwardness and make your presence felt. Don't hesitate. Take hold with a will and discharge your duty like a man. Never despair of trouble or reverses in life. Get right down to good, hard work, stick to it early and late—and you will win. LAW SUIT IN MOTTS' WILL IN JURES RECORD OF HONOR. Estimated to Be Worth $100,000. The sult of Mary Gertrude Jackson, through her attorney, J. Gray Lucas, brought to light that she claims to be next of kin and hei-aw-law. The Motts estate, which is estimated to be worth $100,000, fell to his sister, Lucy Lindsey, with a stipulation for his brother. Mr. Motts' lawyer, Edward E. Wilson, is said to still hold a very firm hand on the claim and assurance of the holdings of Miss Lindsey. The hearing in the probate court was set down for July 28. It is of general opinion that Mr. Motts, who must have been aware that his name would live in the theatrical history, was unwise in not leaving a small sum to each of his relatives to preserve his honor and their gratitude, knowing also that his ancestry was complicated and amalgamated and that his history prior to immigration from the south is obliterated. MR. J. M. MALLETT TO LEAVE FOR SOUTH TO SELL FARM. Mr. Mallett, 3328 Michigan avenue, an auto machinist and driver, who has a prize ring career and who at one time was known as Peter Jackson, was a tease for the boys in the first word, has not forgotten his old home or his old father, who still hold sway at the place where he raised a family of two boys and two girls. So as Mr. Mallett says, I am going to return to the scene of my Hon. J. M. Mallett. childhood after an absence of seven years to see my old father, who is 73 years old, at which time he is in hopes of meeting his brother and two sisters. They have all been blessed and now in the declining years of their father, they hope to make him happy. The little town of Greenville, Ala., will see the scene of a sale of a farm once owned by his father's former owners, but now owned by them, Mr. Mallett's father having bought it after the war. He divided it some years ago between his children. The section J. M. owned, a millionaire wants to buy one-fourth of an acre to complete his land at a cost of $2,000, which he said he would sell. Mr. Mallett will visit Mobile, Ala., and Pensacola, Fl., before returning and we are pleased to know that he has already deposited earnest money on a $3,000 three-flat building on Vernon avenue, by one of the local colored real estate dealers. He is a Defender reader and has ordered his paper sent on to his home to keep up with things in Chicago until he returns. He is the father of two children, a boy and girl, John M. Jr., and Celia Mae, who he is shoving through the schools of Chicago. The Defender wishes him much success on his trip. THE DEFENDER'S GUESSING CONTEST. So far we have not got the name we want.

CHICAGO SOCIETY A MAZE TO DEFENDER CORRESPONDENT. By Mrs. Katie Glass Brothers. Dear Editor: Allow me a space to say a few lines of the two social functions I attended during last week with my hostess, Mrs. S. J. Carter, 3426 Prairie avenue. On Thursday evening the reception in honor of Dr. H. S. Fitzbutler of Louisville, Ky., by her sister, Mrs. Mitchem, was indeed a grand affair. Friday evening following Mrs. Charles S. Washington in honor of her sister, Mrs. Benjamin Washington of Washington, D. C., 3732 Calumet avenue, also entertained at a reception which, too, was grand. The hostesses and their receiving parties were beautifully gowned and their callers came as though the most artistic designers had lent their hands to the lightest touch on these gowns. On Thursday evening we were treated by Madame Anita Patti Brown with two solos. These two functions I feel have brought me in touch with Chicago and its people. FREDERICK DOUGLASS CENTER. Mrs. Nora Taylor will give the address at 4 p. m.; subject, "The Christian Endeavor Movement as An Ald to Good Citizenship." Dr. and Mrs. J. T. Jenifer will follow. Mrs. Winsfrey will give a piano solo and Mrs. Martha B. Anderson a vocal number.

The Conference discussed the following topics: "Women's Work for Community Betterment," "Place of the Church in Rural Life," "Improvement of Rural Life," "Negro Organization Society of Virginia," and "Cooperation in Virginia." Mrs. Harris Barrett, Hampton Va., president Virginia Federation of Colored Women, outlined the interesting story of the growth of the Federation, which was organized in 1907 at the Hampton Negro Conference. Mrs. Barrett's report showed clearly that the Negroes of Virginia have been learning to work together to uplift community life. Mrs. I. C. Norcom, Portsmouth, Va., read a paper on "Women's Community Clubs." She showed clearly the dependence of right living on right thinking, Mrs. Laura B. Titus, Norfolk, Va., showed the need of social centers for colored girls who nre traveling North and South. Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, Richmond, Va., spoke on the "Negro Woman's Religious Activity."

Dr. Atkins urged that Hampton institute should establish a form of religious demonstration work to help the Negro ministers check the movement toward the cities. Rev. C. L. Bonner, Toccoa, Ga., outlined the results that have been already accomplished among the Negro farmers of Georgia, through the influence of the rural church—improved farm stock, increased corn production, reduction of debts, and the introduction of valuable preacher-demonstrators. Rev. W. L. Morris, Trenholme, Va., a graduate of Hampton in 1897, and A. W. Nicholson, Trenton, S. C., principal of Bettis Academy, showed how successfully the Negro schools and churches have co-operated for community uplift. Dr. J. J.

Williams, field agent of Hampton Institute, described the method which has been used for getting Negro churches, business leagues, and lodges to co-operate with the Negro Organization Society for the improvement of educational and health condition among the Negroes along the lines similar to those followed by the Co-operative Education Commission of Richmond. Rev. A. A. Graham, Phoebus, Va., declared that Negroes must do more to help themselves. He emphasized the importance of all classes locking hands for race advancement in Virginia. Resolutions dealing with the following topics were unanimously agreed upon: Influence of the Negro church upon moral, educational, and (Continued on page 8.) PRICE 5 CE. Physicians' Meeting.

One of our most esteemed friends and a lover of his race, Mr. S. H. Gladden, of 115 Montgomery street, Jersey City, N. J., who holds a position in the service of the Erie Railway Company between Jersey City and Chicago, was at the Bachelors' Club parlor, July 25, and was interviewed by Mr. John R. Winston regarding our people down East among the men who followed railreading for a living, and this is Mr. Gladden's statement, as follows: "It would be a good thing for our colored railroad men to take 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 THE MISSING MAN CHARLES REESE, CHAUFFEUR HONORED. Wednesday, July 26, was a Red Letter day in the history of Mr. Charles Reese, who is known at the Studebaker Auto Company as the "Path Finder" for having found a shorter route to Indianapolis and South Bend. The Studebaker Company selected him on Wednesday as chauffeur for to heart the thought that the debts of personal correspondence are very sacred obligations. It is a cheap and easy thing to say that the friendship that cannot last without periodical letters had better死 but; if friendship is worth having, if friendship is more than a name, it is surely worth keeping and guarding, and Mr. Winston, you are certainly a friend of the colored railroad men of the world," and Mr. Gladden continued on with his statement by saying, "When all that is asked to keep the fires upon its altars affame is an occasional kindly letter subscribing for the Chicago Defender. Thoughtlessness in this direction is unkindness, and especially in the matter of letters for the home circle; that is he means of my railroad men neglect to write home to their dear mothers and family when they engage in the service of the railroad company, and he further states that the exile from home," in far away lands, find a letter from as cheerful and refreshing as a fountain in a dry desert land. And in like manner the home circle and especially the mother's heart is made strong and glad, and goes comforted for many a day by a kindly letter, however brief, from the absent and the loved. Then Mr. S. H. Gladden engaged a large table and a party of eight were served to refreshments by Mr. David Shelton, the head waiter, with his latest songs and music. Messrs. J. A. McDonald, L. H. Abel, Coleman, Montague, B. Vanwinkle, S. Simmons, Hardy will give a grand reception at the Bachelor Club in honor of the appointment of John R. Winston as manager of the above named parlor.

The general manager promises the party everything in the market from frog legs on up and the very best of order is assured them, as this will be a well dress party affair, with white gloves, and it is reported that the general managers may engage the service of Miss Lizzie Hart, queen of the vaudeville world, to appear at the Bachelors' Club parlor on that evening, 4704 State street. Mr. Winston received a favorable report from Mr. W. J. Jones at Angelica, N. Y., under date of July 21, 1911, who was a former chef in the service of the Erie Railroad Company between New York City and Chicago. Mr. Jones' letter reads as follows: Friend Winston—Arrived safe at my new PAD this picture a "name."

By A. W. Abrame. Special to the Chicago Defender. South Bend, Ind., July 28.—Replying to an incident that happened here last week similar to an article written in "The Defender" concerning Attorney W. L. Martin and his clients as a race, our people should not do as one of our so-called "race leader" did here last week. Mr. A. W. A. was chosen as traveling salesman for the Cohen's Medicine Company of New York. Notwithstanding laboring under that mighty hammer (knocker), he has again been victorious. Dr. H. S. Cohen, in his manly, gentlemanly and business style decided that he would justify himself by thus placing Mr. A. W. Abrams, seeing that he was the man for the position and the company did the paying of the salary instead of the knocker. Until we cease strife among ourselves we will never advance. It has been said, "Success comes to him who hustles while he waits." So it was with Mr. A. W. Abrams. He has successfully won; all he asks any one or anybody is just simply justice and not mercy and also a chance. The new salesman and assistant in person of Mr. H. A. Keith, of New York, made a rounded report from nearby towns. After traveling over the State of Michigan they will leave for Richmond, Va., and points south for an unlimited period. Mr. Abrams has connected himself with the Cohen Medicine Company permanently. Mr. Keith has been with the firm two years, finding them to deal fair and square and to not be bought off, P. H. Lewis, Psy. D., financial agent for McKinney Polytechnic Institute, was in South Bend in the interest of Normal and Industrial School for Negroes. The Sewing Circle meet at the home of Mrs. Lydia Mathews, 806 North Main street. After the regular business session a dainty repast was much enjoyed by all present. Mrs. Lee, of Portland, Ore., and sister are visiting their mother in Niles, Mich. Mrs. Barton royally entertained last week in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Noah Hubbard, who will make Chicago their future home. Mr. George Powell, of 1311 East Sorin has company visiting her from Chicago. They will be in our midst a month. Mrs. Grady, daughter of Mrs. Kittie Anderson, is ill at her mother's home, 226 South Laurel street. Mrs. Jennie Thomas is visiting relatives and friends in Vandalia, Mich. I think people make their names nice or ugly by what they are themselves. Live so that you beautify your name, even if it wasn't beautiful to begin with, making it stand in people's thoughts for something so lovely and pleasant that they never think of it by itself. It is better to prefer honorable defeat to a mean victory, to lowering the level of our alm that we may more certain, enjoy the complacency of success. ENTERPRISING MR. WM. FOSTER. Pictorial Postal cards of Chicago Churches and Negro business places is something new in the way of race enterprise. A set of twelve subjects of the most handsome postals ever put on the market found their way into the Defender office; where they came from no one seems to know. The Defender reporter set about to find out who published them. The only clew to follow was that they were published by the Wm. Foster Music Co., photo by Peter Jones, the noted Chicago photographer. On requiring of Mr. Jones as to the publisher of the cards at first Mr. Jones acted as if he was as much at a loss as the reporter, as to who put the cards out, but at length he said a colored man had them published but that he did not care to discuss the matter any further. This did not satisfy the Defender reporter, who set out then to find the producer of the cards as it is a set policy of the Defender not to let any man or woman who was working in the interest of the race to stay hidden, regardless of the space it may take to let the people know that we are expanding in the business world. After locating the Wm. Foster Music Co. Mr. Foster refused to talk, only said that the colored people of Chicago were as much entitled to show the world its fine buildings as any other race. The white manufacturers refuse to publish them saying that it was quite a big layout; it was not that the colored people were the best spenders in the world, but to give eyese days. The Defender goes them something for their money these days. The Defender goes on record as endorsing these cards. There is no finer on the market and will find their way all over the civilized world. The reporter on hotel news enjoyed an evening at the beautiful country home of Mr. and Mrs. Wh"er Poe, in Downer's Grove, Ill. A Poe is the chief steward at the Belmont Club in Belmont, Ill. The occasion was the social meeting of the "Lucky Seven Club," which is one of the most exclusive clubs of the young society people in Chicago. The house was most appropriately decorated and the table grouned under the weight of the many delicious dishes that were to satisfy the innman. The L. S. C. is composed of some of the most intelligent as well as the wittiest of our smart set and their united efforts to make the evening the merriest in the history of the club were rewarded to the satisfaction of every one. Mr. and Mrs. Poe as a host and hostess, are par excellence in the art and on this occasion left nothing to be desired. Mrs. Poe's sweet smile was like a ray of sunshine when'er it shone. Mr. Poe has invented a new form of country entertainment, and has named it "The Automobile Scow." Said pleasure was conducted as follows: Each guest was given a lantern and all were driven in autos to the different farms and there seneced the farmers and of course if the farmers were real nice, they didn't mind giving a glass of—well, any old thing. The Lucky Seven Club has an excellent quartette and it dispensed the music. To city people this form of pleasure will be quite unique as the lantern's glare at night lights a weariness to an otherwise dark and still scene found only in the country. Returning to the house luncheon was served and the greatest surprise of all was given the guests in the appearance of Master Adolph Mosley, Jr., in his own interpretation of the "Monkey Dance," which is his latest success. Mr. Mosley, the second, is but two years old, but has completed the art of remaining awake at night. He did his dance at 1 a.m. At 2 p.m. the reporter stole out to a hammock to steal a nap, but company in the form of gallinippers claimed a relationship of "cousin," so into the house he beat it and enjoyed the remaining hours of pleasure till daylight. Those fortunate enough to be members of said club are as follows: Leon A. Wilson, Joseph D. Dunbar, Mr. and Mrs. Mosley, Irwin Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Walker Poe. The Defender wishes for the club long life, prosperity and happiness. DOWAGIAC, MICH., NEWS. Rev. Mrs. G. W. H. Hill has returned home from a five weeke' visit in Detroit. Mr. H. D.

Was Considered Improper. This Gilbert story reaches me from an old Harriolan, a writer in the Manchester Guardian. In 1872 the people of the town got up theatricals to raise funds for a hospital. Doctor Butler, the head master, said he would not allow the school to go unless the pieces were first submitted to him. One was Gilbert's "Palace of Truth": In it is a passage in which the hero says to the heroine: "Meet me at nine o'clock tonight outside the garden gate." Doctor Butler vetoed this and substituted: "Meet me at three o'clock this afternoon." This seemed to him more decorous. About five years ago Gilbert was invited to the Harrow speeches. In reply to the toast of his health he said: "I am very much interested in visiting Harrow, for as far as I know it is the only place in the world where a line of mine has ever, been condemned as improper." Great constrainment prevailed—all the greater because no one except the speaker and one other person, who was just leaving Harrow in 1872, knew what he meant. It was not Gilbert's way to forget these things. Exactly 2:30 A. M. Arthur—"Why is it, fairest Evangene, that when I am with you the bands on that clock seem to take wings and fly?"

Isn't it discouraging when you have to buy ice and coal on the same day? Keep cool, the comet may have a tail that will warm us up a bit. You cannot play society when you can't pay rent—a three act drama to be played in December—What next? Were you thoughtful enough to keep a sample of that early July weather? The U. S. government is thinking of sending Jack Johnson over to spank Haitl and make it be good. The average man wouldn't mind being an aviator if he could carry around a haystack to fall on. If you didn't get a chicken for ten cents at the 31st Street fair, it's your own fault. Everybody else did. Noah Davis Thompson, Booker T.'s left hand man, says even though he is located in the sunny South, his heart and money are still in Chl. There is some talk of making the telephone rates one cent a call. A woman never could relieve her mind by talking one cent's worth. The "Defender" really would like to know who is the real Beau Brummel of Chicago. Modesty keeps us out of the race??? Free advice to some of our merchants: sell the people what they want at a fair price, not what you want them to have at your price. Several arrests were made on the "busy corner" last week for loitering. It is strange in a busy city like Chicago one can find time for such things. A nation wide effort is being made to induce the president to pardon Mattie Lomax, who is under sentence to be hung in the District of Columbia for killing her husband. A life sentence would serve the purpose just as well. In one of our leading churches we understand two ladies disagreed to such an extent that they indulged in scratching and hair pulling. It is generally supposed that a church is a place of worship. What will the papers do for news a hundred (?) years hence when the Lorimer trial is settled and Hines's part in the affair explained to the entire satisfaction of all concerned? Mrs. Grundy says they will go back to the all absorbing question "What are we going to do with the—" but you know what we're talking about. It is gratifying to see the way our 8th Regiment boys are received whenever they appear in public. The days they spent on the lake front with the rousing reception accorded them only goes to prove how immensely popular they are with the people. Col. Marshall and his efficient staff of co-workers are to be congratulated on attaining such splendid results. Gun men and bandits have been holding high carnival of late in Chicago; they also have the auto craze, as most of their getaway work is done with a machine. The taking of a human life seems to be pleasant pastime for them and the police apparently are unable to cope with them. If these things happened in the South some one would have to suffer or it, even if they had to make an example of an innocent negro. James K. Vardaman, one-time governor of Mississippi, is trying to adopt sensational methods to make himself popular; one of his decays is being drawn through the streets is a charlot drawn by 100 oxen, with streamers bearing the legend, "Vote for the white chief and a white South." The poor oxen have our sympathies and they can rest assured we will not judge them by the company they are keeping. One of our esteemed contemporaries is trying to make capital of the fact that neither Booker T. nor his attorney appeared at court when the case he had against that ruffian in New York was called. From a casual observer's point of view he did just the proper thing. The deed had been done, the public had been apprised of the fact and refused to be believe Booker guilty of the counter charges, so why stir up an unfortunate affair for the sake of a little cheap notoriety? The foe is not worthy of the steel. The Provident Hospital benefit ball game, which is to take place at Comiskey Park Thursday, August 10th, will be one of the biggest social ents of the season. Already reser- ations are being made for boxes and it looks like the event will eclipse all previous attempts. Every visitor and every resident of Chicago should consider, it a pleasure to set aside that afternoon and help a cause so truly worthy of your support. Besides the game between the American Giants and the Gunners there will be other forms of entertainment, including Bailey's famous ladies' hand. Let's all get together and make it a howling success. It doesn't cost much to please a woman but keeping her pleased is what causes many a man to go broke. There is something wrong some where when you find a young married couple with apparently all the comforts of a home, seeking different associations, the husband on a pretext of attending his clubs leaves his wife night after night to frequent buffets and other places of like nature, the wife tiring of being home alone finds a congenial spirit and in many instances does likewise. A case of this kind happened in one of our State Street Cafes the other evening when a husband and wife met; he with a lady friend and she with a gentleman escort. To say the least it was embarrassing. "Home, Sweet Home" doesn't mean as much as it did in days gone by. MR. NATHAN GREEN BACK, NOT DEAD-ON CRUTCHES. Mr. Nathan Green, who a few weeks ago was thought to have been killed in a wreck in Seattle, Wash., and whose photo appeared in the Defender under the caption of "The III-Fated Crew," arrived in the city Thursday night at 11:45 from the hospital, where he had lain for over two months. Other than his broken leg he looks the picture of health. His brother, Mr. Wm. Green, Syracuse, N. Y., who came to meet his brother here, and accompany him back east, congratulated the Defender on its wide-awakening and said, "My brother and myself will remember you nicely in a week or so after we get back east." Mr. Green is in business in Syracuse and from Bradstreet is rated in the fifth row of figures. Our old friend, Mr. Meaux, is a friend of the Greens and was at the train to help Nathan off when the train arrived. The Defender has just gotten a letter from Mr. Porter's mother thanking it for publishing her son's trouble. She does not know that he is dead and buried. Mr. Green says he died in the hospital where he laid. The Defender will send her full details as given by Mr. Green. The Defender was the only paper to meet him at the train. THE UNIVERSITY SOCIETY. In Other Words, My College Chums, and Where They Last Met After Leaving College. The University society held their regular bi-monthly meeting Wednesday evening at 370S Wabash avenue. In the absence of the president, Thomas S. Ewell, who is spending the summer months in Detroit, Vice President Frank W. Henry presided with a degree of dignity and intelligence. The organization's work has met the approval of many of the distinguished visitors in the city who have found it a pleasure to attend the different meetings. Among the visitors at the meeting of Wednesday evening was the able and accomplished instructor, Miss Julian L. Henderson of Wiley university, Texas. Miss Henderson spoke in the highest terms of the society's good work in this great city of so many counteracting influences. The University society will have charge of the program at Douglass Center, Sunday, August 13, from 4 to 6 p.m. All are invited to attend. MR. J. FENTON JOHNSON REPRESENS DEFENDER IN ST. LOUIS. Armed with his credentials and passport, clearing from the editorial rooms of the Chicago Defender, Mr. J. Fenton Johnson left the city on Wednesday to report the proceedings of the convention of the National Association of Colored Teachers. His first news was, "I am on the spot, no other paper represented. Given reporters' table at front. Teachers cheered when they heard the Defender's name announced and saw our banner." APPOMATTOX PICNIC A GRAND SUCCESS. On Monday morning last Dearborn station presented a busy scene as train loads of colored citizens presented themselves at the ticket office to purchase their ticket to the popular Appomattox picnic, which is held annually and always well attended, but this year's attendance broke the record for all the preceding years. Mr. Will. Conan is president of the Appomattox. Gathering Chewing Gum In Yucatan the gathering of the chicle chewing gum is an industry that employs the services of considerable bands of natives known as "chicheros." They go into the deep forests, under experienced leaders, armed with heavy knives of special make and pails and ladies for the sap, and each one is provided with a strong rope, more than eighty feet long, to be used in climbing the lofty sapona trees, from which the gum is procured. The sap flows from gashes cut in the bark. A camp of chicheros, where the sap is boiled, resembles in some respects an American maple sugar sugar camp. After months of work the chicheros return from the forests, laden with bricklike blocks of aromatic gum. The finest gum is collected from the fruit of the sapota, mostly by the native women, and it is said that it is seldom exported, because it is too well liked at home.—Harper's Weekly. Eternal Feminine Lady—Why are you all so worried? Captain—The fact is, madam, we have broken our rudder. Lady—is that all. Well, the rudder is under water and it won't show.

Lafayette, Ind.—It is the high privilege of all to follow individual taste in the matter of religious belief, but sometimes the result is deplorable in the extreme. Not all can think alike as regards the here and the hereafter, on this all-important matter of man and his final destiny, but in spite of this diversity of opinion all good men and women will deeply sympathize with a family where the wife and mother has deliberately left her home to follow after a strange god. Such a regrettable instance has just been brought to light through the granting of a divorce to President Wigrop E. Stone, of Purdue university, who is given the custody of a minor child, Henry Stone, on the ground of abandonment. The course of this tragedy which has brought deep sorrow to the Stone family is told in a pathetic story dating back three years, when a class in "Yoga philosophy" was organized in Lafayette. Many women and men in colleges joined the class, which became a fad in social circles. It was taught that a complete fulfillment of "Yoga philosophy" involved the separation from family, friends and kindred, Mrs. Stone became a devout follower of this faith and left home. When last heard from in an authentic way she was in Germany, but has been reported since that she has left that country for Kubanak, a South Sea island, to join a colony of followers of the new belief. in the island where Mrs. Stone is supposed to be its members are called sun worshipers. This colony is one of the queerest in the world. It was founded several years ago by August Englehardt and numbers fewer than 100 persons. They live almost entirely on coconuts. The clothing they wear is said to be of the variety and quality affected by the MRS STONE natives of the South Sea islands who have not come in contact with the civilizing influences of the missionaries. Owing to the trouble with his wife Mr. Stone recently sent his resignation to the trustees of Purdue, but they unanimously declined to accept it. He has been a capable head of the university since 1000. It was no emotional, impulsive action that took Mrs. Stone from her family. Her course was deliberate, and she followed it after long reflection and, apparently, after having counted the full cost. Most singular is the story of Mrs. Stone's fall under the spell of the mysterious Yoga cult. For years she had been reading theosophy and kindred subjects, and was mildly interested in them. It was along about this time that Dr. George Moulton organized in Lafayette a class in the Yoga philosophy. Many women and some men, in West Lafayette, the college town, joined the class, and it became a great fad with certain highly educated people. Moulton taught that the Yoga philosophy was the religion of the Indian Yogi, or Soothsayers. One of the leading features of this doctrine was that of the "withdrawal," or separation from kindred and friends. It was this feature that at last fastened itself upon Mrs. Stone as subsequent events showed. Meetings of Dr. Moulton's class were beld in several homes. Books on the subject were put in the hands of Mrs. Stone and other members of the class, and their interest grew. Radical and revolutionary as were the books of the cult, Dr. Moulton seemed to go still beyond them, and evolve a Yoga philosophy of his own. But the members of the class were warned not to make public any of the private and secret instructions of how to send telepathic messages, how to hypnotize, how to use the key of Karma Yoga, and how to heal the slick. One of the injunctions in this respect was "Do not become a laughing stock for your friends by telling them what you can do or how you do it." Bee on Nose Wrecks Auto. Hartford, Conn.—George Seele of Brookline, Mass., has a bad gash in the thigh and numerous other cuts and scratches because he incautiously tried to swat a bee on his nose, when he was driving his automobile at a rapid galt along Saybrook road. He took his hands from the steering wheel involuntarily when the bee alighted on him and in a twinkling found himself underneath the car. The car was only slightly damaged. Kill Many Filies. San Antonio, Tex.—One and a quarter million dead files in one heap, being a pile three feet high and five feet wide, represents the slaughter wrought by small boys as the result of a飞-king contest which closed here today. Robert Basse carried off first prize of $10 with an official record of 484, 290 dead files.

The "Bachelors Plenic" is strictly an invitation affair. Those not holding invitations would do well to forget the date as they will be unceremoniously treated if they endeavor to attend this outing. This is one of the few outings that Chicago can boast of as being clean. A BIRD IN THE HAND IS WORTH— One of our skillfully made portraits is worth a dozen carelessly made photographs.

R. We wish him every success. So many foreigners hold positives as cooks and head chefs in the hotels throughout the country that it is well for our boys to be cognizant of a few things. Remember, first, the cooks and head chefs are in a kitchen for hours where the heat is at least ninety degrees and the flames from the broilers at times are as high as their heads, which, of course, makes the room more uncomfortable and this is by no means conducive to a pleasant temperament. Then, too, a desirable giving of prejudicial information to all foreigners by persons in authority, makes them think, before they have fairly landed on U. S. soil, that negroes are but bears, wolves and monkeys. The persons who come to this country for work are with very few exceptions densely ignorant and their minds are susceptible to the good, bad, true or untrue things pertaining to the land they have adopted. So, when the waiter comes to the kitchen with an order the foreign cook, through fear and a preconceived hatred, is more than likely to roughly ask in his very poor English, "Well, what do you want?" and the waiter, forgetting his own dignity, will answer grudely, "I'll tell you when I'm ready." In the meantime the guest is waiting until the kitchen squabble is over. Such scenes only bring about the ultimate discharge of the waiter, as you know, boys, if it is only a white dog, the white man will show it the preference, no matter if it did bite you before you kicked it. Try and remember that "A soft answer turneth away wrath." And if it does not it will at least show the other fellow which is the gentleman. And you may save your position by the display of a little diplomacy. We want the money and in order to get it we must work and in order to work we must use our mental strength instead of wishing at all times to display our physical ability. If diplomacy is the means by which to hold a position, then by every plea, I conjure you to be a diplomat. ```markdown ``` All hotel men should read the De- fender.

By Sylvester Russell. One of the greatest bills of the season opened at the Monogram Monday evening when Tim Owsley, a well known comedian whom I had never seen, made his first bow where the crowned idol of all observation rules. The team of Owsley and Bowman is very good and what I liked was Tim Owsley's high standard of comedy. He is, endowed with qualities that would make him a legitimate star, and that is much to say from a writer admitted to be authority. "I Done What I Thought Was Best to Do" scored heavily in choice as a song. Mr. Bowman, a genuine tenor singer, made quite a presentable straight man and the team as a whole was a scream. The James Sisters made their first appearance this season and had a highly flavored operatic repertoire. I waited for the second performance as Prof. Sweatman was late, having gone to a picnic, and his clarionet gave able support to Miss Ethel James' rendition of "The Spirit Flower," quite a gem in exactness. which she mastered vocally. Miss Oriona James, who is now a most excellent contralto, sang a ragtime song charmingly and Cole and Johnson's "Big Red Shawl" was a splendid finale even if Miss Ethel did make a most effeminate Indian. Will Dorsey had played his piano music loud so that George Reeves, the trap drummer, who was a little worried, could harmonize, but Reeves filled up with smiles at the coming of Wilbur Sweatman, Watts and Dickson opened the bill with a very good sketch and Miss Carseello, a foreigner, played an accordion well. An Assorted Variety of Acts Hold Earth Walk of the Forth Well at the Grand. The colored acts have dwindled down to one at the Grand and for the first time in the diminish one that was not a headliner. The team was Thomas, McDonald and Thomas, who presented a good act that was badly regulated, but as a trio they sang fine when they got to it. Mr. Thomas was very nimble in playing a ragtime on the piano and Mrs. Thomas sang a baritone solo with feeling. Mr. McDonald proved to be quite a clever comedian, a head taller, and a chip of little Jimmie Brown, only not so Jimmy. The Parker company in athletic and physical poses. Hankon, Denn and Hanlon, acrobats, Chura Knott in a "Wall Street Batt!" and the Apollo which, was here a few months ago, and the hit of the bill especially the tenor and basso, completed the show. In the new Grand we not only have a colored theater problem to e for the future but a lot of les- for the mean old critic and best of the colored actors to teach The first commandment reads i: "And there assembled a uber of actors who took a l called themselves 'Goats' to rehearse new acts but in the day to rest and to State street late at night . good time."

CUBE, or GEORGIA TROUBLE name, is now in Chicago pre- paring for the opening of his com- pany, about August 10. David K. Payton, Jr., leader of the Grand Theater orchestra, was arrest- ed Monday morning, July 24, in de- fault of allmany, but was paroled at night before the opening performance by the Grand Amusement company. Mr. Payton is trying to sue his wife for a divorce. Miss E. L. Kinchen is now associated with Huggs & Heard, music pub- lishers, where everybody is welcome. Lawrence M. Heard is the Chicago representative of the firm, 3159 State street. The Blood-Koehler Music Company, which is located at 145 North Clark street, has for its house staff Benjamin Blood, Edward H. Koehler, Will Dorsey, director of musical department and arranger, Albert J. Dean, Langston Mitchell, and Edward O. Blackburn. The company is handling the livest hits of the season. "If I Forget," by De Koven Thompson and Alfred Anderson, won third place last week in the list of the most popular sales. Since it has been discovered that the Defender has a greater general circulation throughout the city than any of the theatrical weeklies, the Blood-Koehler company will immediately contract to place advertisements of all their latest hits regular. Miss Lizzie Hart is now featuring this firm's songs. FUTURE OF THE PEKIN THEATER. Not to disoblate the purpose for which the expected new management of the Pekin theater may have in course for immediate or later operation, the future of the theater as a play house is now, at the present moment, very much up for discussion. It is the future of the first colored theater of America, historically, that is to be determined upon and the race loyalty which so many colored people speak so highly of by theory rather than by practice. And this of itself will be a most difficult problem to solve if the theater ever opens again. At the present writing there are many conflicting rumors at large. There is a hint about mortgages and legal entanglements, possibly more or less without very much foundation. Even the new brick wall and frontage is spoken of and rumors of another relative is all included in the clamor of a wo-beheganful money rumors. But with the denise of the founder of the Pelkin theater all enmity should be buried and all things of the past obliterated, so that if its doors should open again its name should live as Robert T. Motts theater. What will confront its future the most is management—that word of such monstrous proportions. Nor do I dare approach this phase of the subject without mindful appretension of what the duty of a specter prescribes and the fusillade of envy which comes back in volleys of false disregard for what has aided the cause of a race and the heirs of a family. The most delicate portion of the subject is that if the Motts estate is to be controlled by a woman there is no remedy except the word failure, unless the property could be leased or the business management so contracted as to be entirely out of the hands of female jurisdiction. In the question of management we have a most incomplete list to present in which no one man mentioned in the argument can be totally looked upon as a real manager, and in reviewing these men the situation to them must be accepted with the certid of justice or humility. We are talking together as people; not to them or against them, but to the question at issue. As a preference of first choice Jesse A. Shipp would undoubtedly be the best and wisest man for manager, but if he had to act as a producer he would need an acting manager, and he would find a good one in Sam Corker, except that Corker is a million hours too slow in his conception and methods of modern local advertising in the competitive degree but he could soon be forced by competition to accomplish it as a positive necessity. Or if Sam Corker should be chosen as manager he could hardly be able to succeed without the employment of Jesse A. Shipp as producer. In case of running all vaudeville, neither Shipp nor Corker would be marvelous as managers. If I were to speak of another possible man who could manage the theater successfully both in comedy or vaudieville I should name Salam Tutt Whitney. At the present Messrs. Shipp, Corker and Whitney are the only three men in view I would dare name as sole directors. But in the question of acting managers serving under them I would name the following men in detail. William Foster, of unquestioned experience but with ability that would need executive direction because of his unsteady and sudden, uncontrollable impulse, could easily be mentioned as a capable manager. Charles Gardner, stage manager of the Bush Temple theater, is another man I confidently believe could successfully manage the Pekin. William McCabe of McCabe's Troubadours is another possible graduate of required experience and H. Mose Fleming, who managed the Whitman sisters through the south, is another say nothing of others in New York of young blood and thrift, are among the coming throng of full headers Entering into the question of different characters of entertainments we have the donkey in the harnyard, the kicking mule, the skittish mare and the kittenish colt all to contend with in trials beyond compare. The argument all depends upon how soon the house will open. Let there be two bills of fare. If the house is to be opened immediately during the summer there will be nothing left to do but to provide a vaudeville bill of fare the same as other two performance houses and with the price and house and ticket system regulated on the same plan, but with as many colored acts, or all, if possible. If strong enough, and with a society entertainer, male or female, of repulsion from the legitimate stage or platform from anywhere as a headliner, or a comedy star. The featured act would have to be so highly advertised in so many sensational ways that all the communities would know what is coming and other souvenir inducements should be offered. If musical comedy were offered for a winter season, a grand revival of the Williams and Walker and Cole and Johnson comedies and all the successful musical plays that have been produced at the Pekin in the past could be inaugurated and run from two to four weeks, according to their popularity. Such an effort, I confidently believe, could be accomplished by Jesse Shipp and Sam Corker, Jr., providing that the estate or a syndicate would back the venture and arouse the public accordingly. And then the argument would be up to the public, to the colored race, especially those who preach so much but do so little. If the people should rally I am sure the Pekin could be a paying house, as it should be, and in such an event, other plays by Jesse Shipp and other new authors, together with all the composers imaginable, could keep the house afloat. MEET ME SUNDAY NIGHT AT MRS. FOREMAN'S. 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 earth. Her lunch room at number 8 West 33th 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 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 sway 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. STAINED GLASS AND WOMEN Latter Sometimes Desert Churches Because Colors From Windows Put Streaks on Faces. Churches whose treasures Include costly stained glass windows find that their anxieties do not end with securing the money to pay for the window and the artist to execute the work. "Every bit as important are the complexions of the women in near-by pews," said a minister "I have known churches to lose valuable parishioners because the window at the back or side cast an unbecoming light on a lady's face. That would have happened in my own church just a few days ago if we had not considered the lady's feelings and changed the design of the window, which was easier than changing the lady's pew or losing her support. The pew was a family inheritance, having been handed down by wifi from generation of generation; therefore it was out of the question to move. At the same time she had my sympathy in her revolt against that memorial window. No matter in what part of the pew she was the picture of a bright red spot right the end of her nose low streaks across her checks and forehead. Even a handsome woman would have been less attractive under that barbaric illumination; as my parishioner had not been particularly favored by nature those startling tints were positively deforming. Fortunately it was not too late to change the lower half of the window, and the lady now sits bathed in a becoming violet glow." Still in Funds. Joe Rank of Atchison tells this story: "A colored man was charged with stealing $9.70. His lawyer, after a long fight, succeeded in securing his acquittal. After the acquittal the lawyer told the darkey that he ought to have some pay for his hard work. 'Have you got any money at all?' inquired the lawyer. 'I've still got that $9.70,' said the negro—Kansas City Journal. Conservatton Comedy. "We countrymen have the best of it. When all else fails we can eat the forest preserves." "I don't know that you have the best of it," retort the city fellow. "We have our subway jam."-Louville Courrier Journal. EXTRA! GRAND FREE EXCURSION EXTRA! TO BEAUTIFUL MOUNT GLENWOOD CEMETERY SUNDAY, JULY 30TH, 1911 IT'S to be the greatest excursion of the Season. Don't fail to come out. Beautiful ride. Beautiful scenery. Great opportunity to get a lovely lot at a low price and easy terms. Assist from your need of a lot for burial purposes, you will get a first class sure profit investment. Lots in some Chicago cemeteries are selling for $2 500, $3 500, to $16,000. We believe Mount Glenwood lots will, within a reasonable time, be valued at $450 to $12000. This cemetery, remember, is unique and most exclusively run for the people's benefit. We want our people to get the advance in prices, and so we do not wish to sell any large blocks of lots to speculators. This excursion is for prospective layers and those who desire to investigate the property. Therefore, no children will be allowed on the train, neither are pleasure seekers welcome. This is a Free Excursion, but, remember it costs us a great deal of money to run a free excursion tram and we are doing it only to make sales for the benefit of the Cemetery and we believe all lot owners will realize this and not accordingly. Send buyers out and bring buyers if you can, but don't impose on our generosity by making this a plea-one trip. Mount Glenwood Cemetery—Your Cemetery. You ought to be proud of Mount Glenwood! You ought to assist in every way to make the Cemetery the pride of Chicago and of your people. Education and property ownership of churches, schools, cemeteries and public holdings will do more than any other power to elevate any people. Help this enterprise and you are helping to establish a monument that will permanently and continuously be a token of your enterprise, foresight and love. Help this enterprise and you are helping yourself. Don't Scatter Your Forces. More good things are destroyed by division and scattering of forces than any other way. If you can divide an army, you can beat it. If you scatter your investments, you are likely to have several ineffective or half cared for properties. We are going to make Mount Glenwood a complete and lasting success. Concentrate your influence on Mount Glenwood and help us to make it The One Great Success, a place to be proud of—a permanent and beautiful place where you will feel safe to bury your dead. There is no cemetery in the United States so exclusively a cemetery for the people. No cemetery that is so fully run for the benefit of the people; none that will approach it in beauty and perfection of appointment when it is completed. We Want to Make Mount Glenwood the most complete, best equipped and most beautiful cemetery in the State. We intend to build a substantial Vault, a beautiful Chapel, an ornamental Gate, set out Trees, improve Drives, continue to beautify and improve the property. We consider Glenwood now to be the best, the most naturally beautiful, most available and most free, of any cemetery in the County, but we want to further perfect for the accommodation of our patrons. Think what this property means to you! A lovely burial, place for your dear ones who have passed on to the beautiful City. Instead of being crowded into small spaces where you are not welcome, you have a permanent, beautiful, well-cared for place of burial which will be beautiful. This beautiful spot you can now secure an 8 Grave Lot for a very low price and on easy payments. You are compelled to pay $50 in many cemeteries for a single Grave. After investigating other properties and in comparison to these lots, we believe they would be reasonable at $450 and they will surely advance to our care. As we have repeatedly told you, when you buy a lot, you are not only providing yourself with a beautiful lot against the time of need, but you need a much investment that will absolutely make money for you if held and handled properly. It costs you absolutely nothing to carry this property. There are no taxes. There are no special assessments. Now, honestly, don't you think you ought to work for Mount Glenwood as a matter of public good? Don't you think you ought to buy one or more lots at these low prices and on these easy terms, because it is a provision you ought to make for your family? Don't you want to secure some of this property as a first-class investment? We are working for the benefit of our cemetery and our people. Now let us all unite to make Mt. Glenwood the finest burial place in the United States. Let us have one good big success, instead of half of our people. Let us work with us and we will work for you and your interests, more quiet and orderly company of people never went out of Chicago than you on these excursions and on the ride.

After that part of the ceremony had been completed, the committee returned to the Grand Pacific hotel, where they went into conference with James T. Brewington, Jr., relative to mapping out the work of the colored progressives of the state. It was decided that Mr. Brewington begin organizing down the state immediately. We learn that Mr. Brewington will occupy the same position with the state progressives that he did during the campaign of Mr. Merriam, which shows that the committee appreciates the work done by him in the previous campaign. The colored people who joined the progressive movement in its infancy would have considered it treachery upon the committee had any other selection been made. Mr. Brewington made a political sacrifice to be with the progressives when no other Negro of any importance could see the There are the "Upper" Avon, known as the Warwickshire or Shakespeare Avon; on the Lower or Bristol Avon, on which is Bath, and the East or Hampshire Avon, on which is Sallisbury.

AN HAS AMAZING CAREER Diamond Smuggling Case Shows How Helen Dwelle Jenkins "Trimmed" a Millionaire for $500,000—Uncle Sam After Several Rich Men. New York.—The developments in the vast smuggling plot which was disclosed when Collector Loeb, through Detective Richard Parr, acted in the cases of Nathan Allen and John R. Collins, the millionaires charged with falling to declare $300,000 worth of jewels belonging to Mrs. Helen Dwelle Jenkins, indicate that the half has not been told. A couple of years ago there was a robbery in a New York hotel and following it a young woman, Mrs. J. W. Jenkins, reported to the police that $300,000 worth of jewelry had been stolen. A little later she said that the valuables had been recovered through a private detective agency. The customs authorities, who endeavor to keep posted concerning every large diamond collection in the country had never heard of the Jenkins collection and suspicious that some of the valuables might have been imported without having paid duty to Uncle Sam, started an investigation. The result is that information incriminating Nathan Allen, a wealthy leather manufacturer of Kenosha, Wis., and John R. Collins, a millionaire coal man of Nashville, Tenn., has been placed in the hands of United States District Attorney Henry S. Wise and will be brought to the attention of the next federal grand jury. Allen was intimate with Mrs. Jenkins and while in Europe with her and accompanied by Collins bought her many thousand dollars' worth of valuables which paid no duty. It was while investigating this case that Richard Parr unearthed the other conspiracy and the jewelsmuggling affair that was first known as the Jenkins case, then as the Jenkins-Allen case, and as the Jenkins-Allen-Collins case, is now said to have been really inspired by a New York A. elen Dweile Jenkins. who had perfected an "under- oute for smuggling in jew- er valuables. It is said that ing with this banker before brain of his confederates, customs inspectors, would smuggled goods.

Once under her spell they gave with a freedom that suggested hypnotic influence, and not once until the game was played a bit too far with Nathan Allen, the multi- influenza leather merchant of Kenosha, Wis. did, one of the "angels" rebel, Mrs. Jenkins admits Allen spent $500,000 on her inside of 18 months. Mrs. Jenkins' maiden name was Helen. Fuld and at the age of fourteen she married a man named Dwelle and for some time they lived happily in Detroit. Then her husband went to New Orleans and she obtained a divorce. It was Collins of Memphis, Tenn., who is mixed up in her case gave her the name of Mrs. Jenkins. He was a friend of her family and about the time she had obtained her divorce was reading a book telling of the adventures of the Widow Jen-in a facetious way he began her Mrs. Jenkins and it was at name that she was intro-Allen, who himself assumed Jenkins.

New York—All Ben Ding, a Zanibar parrot, skilled beyond belief in the skrill articulation of Turkish, Arabian, Moorish, French, German and Spanish profanity, was responsible for the arraignment in the Tombs police court of his owner, Selim Hamad, a Byzantine sailor. Selim Hamad is a young giant and he was charged by Arem Sultan, a slim, narrow chested Arab, who lives at 37 Washington street, with performing a wild Dervish dance on his chest after endeavoring to carve initials in his neck. Arem Sultan had barely survived the ordeal and when he appeared before Magistrate Krotel to press, the charge there was that in his appearance to suggest that an entire caravan had romped over him, (3) sundry camels having stopped awhile to test the footing up and down the buttons of his walstcoat and athwart his dusky features. Through a *tay interstice* in the bandages that wreathed his countenance he told an amazing story of the profanity of All Ben Ding and how the bird had brought him into unequal encounter with Sellm Hamad. For several days, the Arab said, he had heard the name of his ancestors reviled in his native tongue. He knew there were no Arabs in Washington street and he could not for the life of him puzzle out who was cussing him. He searched the house in which he was living from top to bottom, but could not locate the voice. As he set out for a near by restaurant Sultan was startled by the exclamation: "Dog of an Arab, eat the dust of your thieving fathers!" Sultan stopped short and his blood caught fire. The honor of the tribe of Sultan had been traditional on the desert for centuries. To be called a dog was the vilest of epithets. Sultan had halted in front of 25 Washington street and he had only to wait another instant before the same voice cried out an oath that caused the young Arab to turn pale and tremble. This bit of profanity was followed by the phrase: "The tribe of Sultan is accursed by the moon, the stars and the dogfish that swim under the stars." That was enough for the young Arab. He rushed into the doorway and up the stairs to the rooms occupied by Selim Hamad. The profane voice of All Ben Ding, the parrot, lured him on. Sultan knocked at the door. Selim Hamad opened it, blocking the entrance with his giant bulk. Greatly enraged. Sultan demanded of Selim Hamad that he slay the vile bird before his eyes. "He is bewitched of a thousand devils," Sultan said "Kill him at once." "Pouff, little one!" replied Sellim Hamad inuent Arabic. "All Ben Ding is a wise bird and knows a dog of an Arab when he sees one." This was too much for the little Arab, and he hurled himself upon the huge sailor, with the results already told. HORSES BALK AT DEAD MAN Drivers Then Learn of Veteran's Suicide Injuries Animals Referees To Failure Cynwyd, Pa.—John H. Titlow, seventy-one years old, an inmate of the Soldiers' home at Hampton Roads, and who was on a visit to friends in this vicinity, committed suicide by hanging in the barn of John Duffy, near here. William H. Duffy and William L. Downes were engaged in hauling hay to the barn, and about three o'clock, when they attempted to drive into the structure with a loaded wagon, the horses balked and refused to enter. Investigating the cause of the horses' stubbornness, Duffy and Downes found the body of the aged war veteran dangling from a rope fastened to the rafter directly in the path of the horses.

Brother Dickey's Opinion "Politics," said Brother Dickey, "is es concertain ez a woman who says one minute dat sh'll marry you an' de very ninute minute tells you dat you sho' must 'a' dreamed it!" Mexico City, Mex.—With the gate valve holding in at least 300 pounds pressure the great oil well in the Potrero del Llano field in Mexico is still doing regularly more than 125,000 barrels of oil per day. It is one of the wonders of the world. It is by far the biggest producing oil well ever drilled and is so admitted to be by all oil man who has witnessed its performances. The output of oil during the first 92 days the flow was struck was more than 12,000,000 barrels. This is a THE OIL RIVER World's Greatest Gusher. conservative estimate. In view of the fact that several million barrels flowed into the Buena Vista river and thence to the Tuxpan river and out to sea, going to waste in this manner, an accurate estimate of the total output cannot be given. But that this big estimate is not far wrong is shown by the fact that approximately 8,000,000 barrels of oil from this well have been saved and are now in storage. One earthen reservoir covers more than 45 acres of ground and is more than 30 feet deep in the central portion. It now contains 5,000,000 barrels of oil. Other smaller reservoirs are full of the product and an army of men are kept constantly at work constructing additional storage places for the unremitting flow. The market value of the crude oil at the well is $1 Mexican money or 50 cents gold per barrel. The value of the daily output is therefore more than $60,000 gold or nearly $2,000,000 per month. Even at the present rate of flow it is found impossible to save all of the oil, and many thousands of dollars worth of it goes to waste each day. BEE STING FOR RHEUMATISM Hoosler Farmhand Sufferer Tries Heroic Treatment and Says It's Great. Owensville, Ind.-That bee stings have healing and curative qualities is vouchered for by James Cross, a farm hand who suffered with rheumatism in the toes of one foot. He was told that a bee's favelin would chase away the rheumatic palsis and he tried it. He captured twenty-five bees, put them in a tight paper box, cut an inch slit in one end, through which he poked his toes, and waited patiently for something to happen. When the imprisoned and thoroughly angered bees saw five human toes in front of them something happened very quickly. Stingers dashed at the toes in great haste. Cross made ugly faces and writhed but stayed with the game. At the end of two minutes the bee battery had exhausted its ammunition, but when Cross attempted to pull his toes out of the box he found they had swollen to three times their natural size. The slit in the box was far too small and he was forced to cut the box to pieces before he could release himself. "Did the remedy cure the rheumatism?" he was asked. "Well, I can now do the Isadore Duncan toe dance to a queen's taste, as oil signs of rheumatitis pains in my toes have disappeared," he replied. WOMEN TO CARE FOR TREES Aldermen of Middletown, N. Y., Let Contract to Society Leaders—Big Victory for Former. Middletown, N. Y.—The women of Middletown won a great victory the other day when the board of aldermen turned over to them the care of the shade trees of the city and the bids of other contractors were thrown aside. Last year the Federation of Women's Clubs took up the matter of saving the shade trees of the city and succeeded in getting the taxpayers to vote $1,200 for that purpose. The aldermen let the contract and at the end of the season the women claimed the work had not been done properly. This year the women asked the aldermen to award them the contract.

Judge Tom Dinnane is back with his good ship Nomad after a cruise in which he had some rare adventures, says the New York World. Here's one as he tells it himself with his well known regard for vexility: "We were fifteen miles off Block island in the duskus of the day when we came on a school of salt mackerel. First thing we knew a swordfish butted in and there was a wild scramble among the mackerel. The swordfish filled up on the school and then like an overfed hog took a nap on the surface of the water. My engineer used to be a New Bedford whaler and he carries a lot of old-time tackle on the Nomad. He went for'ard and heaved a harpoon into the small of the swordfish's 'sack. He had already secured an empty beer keg—got that "empty"?—to the end of the harpoon line. Mr. Swordfish as soon as the harpoon got into him took it on the run with the beer keg trailing along. He dived and tacked and doubled on his tracks, but the keg was ever on the job. Finally his despair and exhaustion did the trick. He gave a feeble flicker with his tall and we hauled him aboard. He was six feet two inches long and welged four hundred pounds, and say—he was fine eating." WAS HATER OF CONNECTICUT Lewis Morris Carried to His Grave a Bitter Grudge Against That State. A grudge against Connecticut seems to have been the ruling passion, strong in death, of Lewis Morris of Morrisania, who died in 1816 Part of the will of this Connecticut hater is printed In Case and Comment as follows: "My desire is, that nothing be mentioned about me, not so much as a single line in a News Paper, to tell the World I am dead; it is my Desire that my son Gouverneur Morris may have the best Education that so it be had in England or America, but my Ex-interwoven in their constitutions, that he never be sent for that purpose to the Colony of Connecticut, Least he should imbibe in his Youth that Low Craft and Cunning, so Incident to the People of that Country, which is so interwoven in their constitutions, that all their art cannot Disguise it from the World.

A dozen years ago a stranger in London was always sure of a civil answer if he asked his way about, or any other similar question. But today all the politeness of London seems to be confined to the polite, whose courtesy nothing can impair. Modern education does not apparently include the study of politeness in its curriculum. I am quite sure that at present the London young man is the most unmannerly creature to be found anywhere in England.—M. A. P., London.

Sunday Services Sermon by the pastor, 11 a. m. Bible school, 12:30. B. Y. P. U., 6:30. Eight p. m. The True Reformers will have charge of the services. The following speakers from Chicago will speak: Chief M. T. Bailey, M. A. Wallace, R. L. Jackson, Mrs. Lou Ella Young, Mrs. Resitua E. Howard, Mrs. Anna Lyles. These are all good speakers. Come out and hear them and be informed as to the present condition of the True Reformer. The evening services at the Mt. Zion church last Sunday, July 23d, were good. The rain interfered with the morning service. There was one ascension to the church. Rev. E. H. Flitchor attended the entering services of the new Providence Baptist church on the West Side at 2:30, last Sunday, July 23d. He reports that they have a fine church building. Modern in every respect and that there is nothing in the city that will equal it. Mr. J. E. Lewis of Cincinnati is visiting his daughter, Mrs. Samuel Gash, 1114 Emerson street. Mr. James M. Allen returned home from Staunton, Va., last Saturday, July 22d, where he had spent two weeks visiting his wife. He reports Mrs. Allen much improved in health. She will return home the last of August. Mrs. L. Johnson and her two daughters, who have been visiting her sister, Mrs. Oscar Morgan of 1719 Benson avenue, in Champaign, returned home last Monday, July 24. Plumes made from old ostrich feathers as new, 50 and 75 cents per inch. We also clean, dye and bleach plumes. Call and inspect our work. Mail orders promptly attended too. Mrs. G. W. Lambert GIANT KILLER EASY FOR SOUTHERNERS Pltcher Covaleskle of New Orleans Ball players said this spring that they would "get to" Covaleski, the big Pole whom Chattanooga is carting along as one of its star attractions, and it looks like they are making good. The "Giant Killer" is no longer in the bearcat class if the scores that have been made against him recently give a fair idea of the work he is going to do this season. About the only reason ball players had for saying they would hit Covaleski the season after woefully failing last season was that they would play the same kind of a game against him that they played against any ordinary pitcher. "We'll test his control," they said. "He used to get away with most anything, because he had us buffed." Whatever was the cause there is no doubt that Covaleskie put the jinx on many good ball players in the South on league last season. They dropped their little angoras just as soon as he came in sight. Some of them were bewildered with his speed, others feared his lack of control would result BALL AND BAT NOTES The unexpected makes baseball. Hyatt, of Kansas City, is a slugger. He has poled 11 home runs this year. Hyatt, of Kinsa City, is a snugger. He has poled 11 home runs this year. Both Markle and Marquard have ceased to be butts for the humor of the Cubs. Umpire Mal Eason discovered Knetzer when Eason was manager of the Lawrence, Mass., club. Baskette of Toledo, has pitched six games in which the opposing team has made less than six hits. Hugh Nicol, famous old time player and now coach for Purdue university, is acting as scout for the Cincinnati Reds. Indianapolis has a new pitcher in Charles Overman, who won fame as an all-round athlete with De Pauw university. From all reports Umpire Mullen is improving steadily under the tutoring of Umpire Evans, with whom he is paired. Washington is so taken with the first base play of Germany Schafer that his work is compared to Hal Chase's. President Horace Fogel is willing to pay $7,500 for another good pitcher and an outfielder that can hit as well as Magee. Jimmy McAleer, it is sa'd, may quit the Washington Senators, owing to the poor showing of the club in the present race. Red Nelson, the grand pitcher of the Browns, is a man of iron. He works all the year around so as to keep his muscles in trim. Louisville denies that it ever had any intention of selling Fisher to Mobile. He expects to release one catcher soon, however. Although one has not heard much about it, the Athletics seem to be having a little more than their share of hard luck this season. Umpireagan believes Ban Johnson's decree abolishing the warming up of pitchers is to be obeyed at the discretion of the official. Fred Parent,former White Sox player, still leads the batting order for the Baltimore Orioles. Parent is hitting and fielding at a good clip. Pitcher McAdams of the Dallas club, who has been purchased by the Cardinals, has made a wonderful record in the Texas league this year. Grover Cleveland Alexander declares that with himself and Moore alternating the Phillies would run away from other teams in the National league Chester Thomas, the young catcher the Boston Red Sox turned over to the Sacramento team last spring. is playing wonderful ball on the coast Southpaw Brennan, formerly of the Philadelphia team, pitched a no-hit game against Jersey City in the Eastern league. Brennan is with Buffalo, N.Y. Protesting games is getting to be a habit with Fred Clarke. He has protested a game with the Reds on the ground that the infield fly rule was not enforced. Burke, of Indianapolis; Barrett, of Milwaukee, and Shay of Kansas City, are American association managers who have been suspended this year. The baseball recruits are handcapped. They must show quickly, while past records help the veterans to hold on. Manager Joe Kelley of the Maple Leafs has placed Wee Willie Kesler at the head of the batting list, and the Midget has proved even more valuable in his new position. in his slamming them on the bean, others gave up trying to hit him simply because they didn't think they had a chance. When Covaleskie went back to the big circuit a lot of Southern fans thought he would keep up his spectacular work, and when he failed to do this they began to wonder whether he was the pippin pitcher that he had been cracked up to be. When his return to the Southern league was announced, ball players started contriving his downfall. There is no doubt that Covaleskie is some pitcher. He has speed enough to single the atmosphere between the box and the plate, and when his aim is good he is pretty sure to set a pace that only a good team can keep up with. Milwaukee's New Record The record of 19 men left on bases, made by Milwaukee in a recent game, is said to be a new mark in a year being made famous for strange performances. DICK EGAN WANTED CHICKEN Scrappy Little Cincinnati Second Baseman Not Satisfied With Lunch as Served. Dick Egan says the hotel cooking is all right, but has its faults, just like any other brand. The Cincinnati second baseman ordered chicken ple at lunch, and, when it was set before him, could find nothing but dough and V grayy. Hailing the waiter, Mr. Egan made expostulation. "Say, George," walled Mr. Egan, "there's no chicken in this chicken ple." "Aw, say, now," replied the waiter, "you wouldn't expect to find any dog in a dog biscuit, would you?" And Mr. Egan is still studying. The Grandmother Game President Johnson of the American league was pointing out to a sporting editor the wonderful money-making possibilities of the baseball business. "Baseball is ingrained in our people," he said. "They give their time and money to baseball, though the heavens fall. "There's a spice of truth in the story of the boss who said to his office boy: "Well. Henry, I don't see now you'll get to any of the games this season, as your grandmother died twice while football was on. "You should have known better than that.' he replied. 'My grandfather has married again, much against the wishes of the family.'" Eddie Hahn. Eemloro. Eddie Hahn, who was manager of the Mansfield (O.) and Pennsylvania League ball club until the national commission recently decided he was still the property of the Chicago American league club and fined him $300, has left Mansfield for his home in Nevada, O., and hereafter will play semiprofessional ball. Elaberty Is Dissatisfied Patsy Flaherty, who has been playing center for the Boston Nationals, does not like it and has asked the club for his unconditional release. He was a free agent when he signed with the Beaneaters and figures he is entitled to his release now. He expects to get a berth as a minor league manager. Cleveland to Get Manush The decision of the National commission that a drafted player returned to a club of lower class goes without strings, means another Nap recruit from the New Orleans camp. It is said that Manush, returned by the New York Giants, will find his way to Cleveland. Dick Egan. MANY PLAYERS FROM COAST Last Year's Crop of Recruits Has Kept Big Leagues Going Quite Lively This Season. California is noted for its big trees, fine climate and gold; also, hardly a year goes by that the Pacific coast does not turn loose to the big leagues a crop of ball players who make good. In fact, very few of them are turned back. What is more, the Californiaians who are shipped to the big leagues get in the timelight right off the bat. They seem to develop into the kind of stars that the fans want to see every time they appear in any city. Scouts skip about to all kinds of leagues and get ball players, who are tried out only to be sent back, but the golden west sends them on and they stay. Twenty-six players from the coast are now in the American league circuit, and all are making good. The New York Yankees have five Chase started out there where they have five oranges and all kinds of other fruit. Harry Wolter, who covers right field for the Yankees, is another. Olsa Johnson comes from out that way. Then the Yankees have Wilkinson and Fitzgerald, also from the Golden Gate city. Lynch was another who came from that country, although he has been turned over to the Bridgeport club. The Boston Americans have Harry Hooper, Lewis, Madden, Pape, Moser and Hall. Connie Mack is not very strong with California players, but has just secured Leonard of St. Mary's college. and it is rumored that the player will surely make good. Washington has Johnson, who is one of the star pitchers in big league baseball. In addition to Walter Johnson the Washington club has Street, Groom and Gray, and they are all making good in the American league. The Cleveland club is well supplied with players from the coast. It has Gregg, who has been touted as one of the best pitcher ever turned over to the big league from the minors. They also have Krapp, Olson, Easterly, Fisher, Graney and Harkness. The Naps think all of these players will be the goods. Ping Bodle, who is getting a great, big send-off in the American league as some swatter and fielder, is another from the coast. He is with the Chicago club, as are Zeelder and Dougherty, who were also in California and come from that baseball country. The Tigers can only boast of one player, but Jennings thinks he has a fine young pitcher in Lively from the coast, who is making good for the Detroit nine. Bobby Wallace has Meyers, W. Hogan and Hallman with the Browns, and seems to be well pleased with those players, and, what is more, Stanage is well known in that part of the country. BRAINY PITCHER BIG ASSET Star Flinger Can Render Signals and Inside Play Worthless—Good Common Sense Counts. Otto Knabe, who is one of the brainstel players in the National League, says this about signals: "Signals and inside play are great things for a ball club to have, but plain common sense, quick thinking and intelligence have signals beaten to death. "What use have signals and inside play been against Mathewson, Brown, Moore, Camnitz and other star fing- N Otto Knabe. ers? Put a pitcher in the box who has brains and he will smash all the team play you ever saw. Base runners will be pie for the catcher and hit-and-run plays will be jokes. Give me a pitcher in there with the old noodle, and I want to see some of these machine work." Rights of Married Men Judge Hugh Grimm in the St. Louis circuit court the 2nd day told Cornellus Campbell that "married men are entitled to some rights in this world, and when a wife objects to her husband attending a ball game or any other innocent amusement, he should assert his rights and go any way." He gave Mrs. Lillian M. Campbell of 3447 South Second street, a decree of divorce because Campbell did not contest the suit. Campbell said they could not agree about anything. Judge Grimm asked for some specific incidents as to their disagreement and Campbell said: "She fussed when I wanted to attend a ball game." Cobb Surpasses Everybody Leading the American league in batting average, in number of base hits, in run-getting and base stealing, Cobb of Detroit sure shows conspicuously his superiority over all players in the major circuits. The only worlds left for him to conquer in baseball, activities are the records of past seasons, of which he holds quite a number, and toward which he is now rapidly heading. Favors Sunday Ball. Rev. J. W. Larkin, of Poughkeepsie, believes in Sunday baseball. To prove it he addressed a crowd of 1,000 at a Sunday game, speaking for 30 minutes. He then sang "There were Ninety and Nine," offered a fervent prayer, and then watched the ball game. Hickman to Retire Cherieful Charlie Hickman, who has had a long career in the national pastime, is about to retire for good. He is still a member of the Toledo American association team, but is too fat to do anything but bat now. "HE WHO Tk to luck will not be lucky. 16 the man who does the right thing at the right time who is lucky."

Formerly many of the newspaper offices at Washington were situated in the basements of dwelling houses and were infested by enormous roaches. It was a pastime with the "boys" to make pets of them.

Vassar college announces its fifteenth birthday, but none of the graduates admit that they were in at the beginning. A Chicago woman, suing for divorce, says that she won her husband on a bet.

Mirrors installed in street car plat forms, instead of inducing women to alight properly, might prevent them from alighting at all. A Chicago clergyman declares that the tree is man's best friend. It is certainly a great convenience in a field where there is a cross bull. The clergyman who claims that Ananias died of heart failure and not of prevarication will probably tell us that Baron Munchausen was an honest man. A Cleveland woman was cured by a surgical operation of an abnormal desire to play the piano. Other persistent piano players should consult specialists. It is stated that Boston is to have a hospital for the rich. Still, the man of sense, whether rich or poor, would prefer to stay outside of even the most gilded of hospitals. Two million trees have been planted in Kansas this year. Good. When Kansas gets a sufficient number of shade trees it may become easier for her to find harvest hands. We see by the papers that a farmer in Ohio stayed in bed three days with a flock of eggs and hatched 18 chicklens. The peculiar part of the story is that it did not come from Winsted, Conn. One of our contemporaries tells us that in swatting the fly we should pick out a fly of the feminine gender. Possibly we are expected to use the well known formula: "If he eats it it's a he and if she eats it it's a she." The Arkansas man who married a girl be had never met until he proposed to her to win a wager has come to the conclusion that marriage is no joke. But, then, many who wed in a less coldblooded and more leisurely way have come to a like conclusion. At the Concert. Is Your Earning welcome?

It is very ill-manured and may cause some one to get an eye put out or hurt in some way. Be careful with your guns and pistols. The Jackson Sisters At the St. John's M. E. church there have been produced so many really good singers that it has been rather hard for visiting musicians to get a hearing. The Jackson-sisters sustained the reputations which preceded them as vocalists and completely captured their audience of music lovers. Many of the audience were of the opinion that they were the best vocalists that have yet appeared in the city. A small audience greeted them last Friday night at the St. John's M. E. church. How to Get Water. It seems very foolish the way some of our leading newspapers speak of rain. One paper says we hope it will rain; another said, "Shoot a cannon ball up there and hurst the clouds". etc. Now, if you want rain the best way to get it is to go down on your knees in carnest prayer to Almighty God. How can I pray to Almighty God when I have never seen him? says doubting Thomas. The good book says, Blessed is he that believes yet he has not seen. There is not a person on earth today who can say truly that he has seen God, yet there are some people who believe there is a God. Some do not. Some people ask God for things they need and haven't faith enough to believe they will get what they asked for. If you haven't any faith in God don't ask Him for things. If you need water, ask God Almighty in carnest for it; form, plants his footsteps in the seas and rides upon the storm. Do a little more praying and have a little more faith in the Savior, Lord Jesus Christ, and He will provide for them that put their trust in Him. He knows better what we need than we do ourselves. So stop howling yourself to death about rain. You are not ruling this world. When Jesus Christ, the Son of God, gets ready to send rain He will do so. No use kicking about it either. Use a little more common sense. Prayer and faith is the best remedy I can give you. To St. Louls, Mo. Mrs. J. D. Ball and Master Earl Madison went to St. Louis, Mo., Sunday morning on a visit.

Big Celebration Is Planned In Honor of American Commodore Who Defeated the British In Memorable Engagement. Cleveland, O.—Doubtless everybody has read in the newspapers of an act of congress, passed at the recent season, for the commemoration of the centennial anniversary of the battle of Lake Erie, which was fought by Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry against a British fleet under Captain Barclay put-In-Bay. An appropriation of $250,000 was made as a contribution toward a general fund to pay for a suitable monument, and the president was authorized to appoint three commissioners. The centennial celebration had already been agitated for two years in Ohio and the legislature of the state had already appropriated $80,000. The legislature of Pennsylvania had appropriated $100,000 and the Rhode Island legislature had appropriated $25,000 by a unanimous vote, but the governor vetoed the bill after it had adjourned. Bills have been introduced in the legislatures of New York for $75,000, in Illinois and Wisconsin for $50,000 each and it is expected that Kentucky will do equally well, because that state furnished nearly all the soldiers for General Harrison's army in the war of 1812, and a squad of the gunners in Commodore Perry's fleet. A good deal is expected from Michigan, but nothing has been done there yet except to appoint a commission to meet with those representing the national government and Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Wisconsin and Illinois. It is proposed to erect a lofty column, at least 450 feet high, with a lighthouse and a wireless telegraph office at the top, and at the base an auditorium that will seat at least 1,200 people. Within the shaft it is proposed to have historical, military and naval museums and rendezvous for the naval militia and the yacht clubs on the lakes. It is also proposed to bring from the harbor of Havana one of the masts of the battleship Maline to be used as a flagstaff. Several 12-inch guns from the Oregon and the Spanish battleship Viscaya are to secured and used as ornaments at the base of the monument. While the Perry victory will not be celebrated until 1913, arrangements are already under way in various lake ports along the lower Lake Erie preparing for the occasion which will fittingly mark the one hundredth anniversary of Perry's victory. Not only will the various state national guardmen be sent to the lake region for THE MEMORIAL OF THE UNION OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK Perry Monument Near Cleveland. the occasion, but the military and naval departments of the United States government have promised to send federal troops and middles to take part. The committee on military and naval affairs has framed a tentative program by which the famous "battle of Fallen Timbera," "sluge of Fort Melgs," "battle of Fort Sanducky" and "battle of Fort Stephenson" will be reproduced in the lake near this section and Put-in-Bay, the latter place containing the cave where Commodore Perry hid for some weeks following the battle in which his ships were lost. The "battle of the Thames" will also be reproduced according to present plans. Thousands of regular troops and many brigades of the various state militia will be camped near Put-in-Bay where they will give a sham battle as one of the leading features of the celebration. They will be met near there by war vessels of the British and American navies to assist in the maneuvers. Later, "Perry's victory of Lake Erie" will be staged near Put-in-Bay. The events reproduced will be events of nearly 25 years of warfare between Americans on one side and British and Indians on the other. Only the most important events will be enacted, so that the performance will not last more than 14 days. There is no suitable monument for Commodore Perry and his four brothers, the most famous family of sea fighters in the United States. The father and five sons were officers of the navy and two of the sisters married naval men. Completes Freak Home. Long Beach, Cal.-D. N. Hauk of this city has completed an original residence. The front door is designed after the entrance of an Indiana barn dear to the heart of Mr. Hauk. The ceiling also is a faithful replica of the old barn ceiling, and he did not overlook a, stable door at the top of the stairs landing. In garish contrast to this barnyard atmosphere, a mantel of gray granite, set with rubies, emeralds turquoise and other stones, strung for recognition in the parlor. The mantel is valued at $5,000. 1. H. Whipple, Who Has Just Completed Handsome New Building, In Pioneer Motorcycle Man of the West—Handles Four Leading Makes—New Structure Unique in Many Ways. In 1900, the first year in which any serious attempt was made at motorcycle manufacture, the production amounted to about 1,000 machines. During the past year the production was close to 50,000 machines. The growth has been obviously tremendous. What the growth has been in the Chicago market is significantly portrayed in the new Whipple building, on West Jackson boulevard, just west of Center avenue. The building is owned by I. H. Whipple, pioneer among Chicago's motorcycle merchants and the original motorcycle man of the west. The structure is as unique as it is handsome, and has been made necessary by the rapidly growing patronage of Mr. Whipple in his capacity as agent for the Indian, Harley-Davidson, Reliance and Greyhound lines of motorcycles. The new building has the finest system of prism lighting in the city. It has artistic steel ceilings throughout. A special electric lighting system surrounds show cases and rooms, and admirably sets off what is a really beautiful window display. The building has one of the finest repairing departments to be found in the business, and all expert help is provided. Facilities are maintained for work of the most comprehensive scope, from the most delicate to the largest. A patent lifting device is installed in the rear for the handling of all commodities. In the interior is a bascule stairway, noiselessly balanced, and operated with a feather touch whenever the owner of a motorcycle wishes to enter. On the upper floors are club rooms and a library for the convenience of the Whipple patronage. In the basement are splendid shower baths. In providing this excellent center of supply for the motorcycle trade Mr. Whipple is clutching his position as a purveyor of the best and as one of the best of purveyors. ANOTHER GOOD PHYSICIAN. Dr. G. William Miller, 3552 Forest avenue, has returned to the city after spending several weeks pursuing a DR. G. W. MILLER. post graduate course in disease of the lungs and chest.

Visitors are always welcome. Mrs. E. L. Davis is leaving no stone unturned for the success of the coming federation which meets at Monmouth, Ill., August 15. A very pleasant meeting of the delegates and members met at her home to lay plans and discuss matters of interest to the federation. Every one is greatly interested and the meeting promises to be a grand one. Miss Elizabeth Carter of New Bedford, Mass., the national president of women's clubs, will lecture here in Bethel A. M. E. church, Friday night, August 25. Let every one try to hear her this time. Many missed a grand treat by not hearing her before. Tickets are in the hands of all the clubs of the city. A reception will be given for her Saturday, August 26, by all the clubs of the city. Mrs. Teresa G. Macon is chairman, which means success. Donations to the home are as follows: The Woman's Improvement club of Milwaukee, $5; the Peerless club of Chicago, $5; Miss E. A. Davenport, $1. We thank these friends for their generous donations to us. Mrs. Jessie Johnson has returned from her outing and we hope to see her at the next meeting. Mrs. Ella Johnson is still in the mountains but we hope she is not lost. Over the C., B. & Q. for the federation Tuesday morning, August 15, at 9:45 a. m. Such a crowd is going and such a good time is in store. This is to be the banner year. Mrs. Kennedy, as chairman of the ways and means committee, is doing excellent work. Can you afford to miss it. WALTER'S A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. Corner 38th and Dearborn Sts. Rev. H. J. Callis, D. D., Pastor. In spite of the rain on last Sunday our services were well attended and seemed to be much enjoyed by those present. Our collections were good. The pastor and his family were delightfully entertained at dinner by Mr. and Mrs. U. Collins. The solo rendered by Miss Myrtle Broadle of Indianapolis at the morning service was a rare treat. The Christian Endeavor society is growing in interest. The meeting Sunday will be in charge of the Woman's Home and Foreign Society, of which Mrs. H. J. Callis is president. Our Sunday services will be as usual. Rev. Callis' subject in the morning will be "Dyne Love in Human Sympathy." In the evening he will preach on "That Unknown Country." Officer Hall, traveling in plain clothes, started to look up one fellow townman and prominent business man, Mr. Peter P. Jones, the photographer, the other evening in an unwarranted and indecent effort to do what he considered his duty. It appears that the officer happened in some place along State street, in which some fellow was seeing what the officer considered nude pictures. Mr. Jones was standing near by looking on. The officer in a hurry, of course, to show his authority as soon as Mr. Jones suggested that the pictures were not what the statute called "nude." The angered officer reached over and grabbed him him not it been that some gentleman entering Mr. Jones' place, would have been hustled off to the station and locked up, Officer Hall may or may not be a good officer, but one thing is sure and that is his judgment is not the best. Colored citizens regret that such officers as Scott and Patton, men who have honor and respectability and who know how to treat men and could differentiate between worthy citizens and street loafers. The fact of it is that there are some colored officers who should not be in plain clothes any way, and Hall is one of them. He seems to think that because he is a policeman that he should be disrespectable. Appeal to Chicago Professional Men That Are Prostituting the Race. Some of our lawyers and doctors who are sinking their profession by deplorable practices and avaricious methods which disgust their friends and seriously threaten to drive patrons to the time when they will not stop to distinguish the good from the bad. The Defender reporter, after a hard day's work on the job, saw a bright light in a doctor's office and, thinking that he was about to perform some technical operation, the reporter silently waited at the door for the news that would excel the surgeon and physician that sewed the man's heart. Then the worst came. A noise that sounded like two square bones rolling across the table, with an occasional remark, "I'll bet you five!" This was enough that it was a bloodless operation and headquarters for poker. Lawyers, when they have made a killing, shine in the red light district after dark, as one said when slipping a pint bottle with a blonde lady that the law game was a great thrush. The C. C. Ry. Co. refuses to consider claims made when their case is presented by gumheel men, who have repeatedly tried to hold up the company and rob their clients. When a man dies there is no rest or protection to his family, knowing the probate court is liberal in allowing attorney fees. Divorce case is sure bacon. Many a man is forced to pay alimony when the cross-roaders should be in jail. Now the lawyer that does the right is relegated and the doctor that is a gentleman is forced to find other avocations for his existence and with few exceptions our professional men get little encouragement from the 60,000 of the colored in this city. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH. The rain, last Sunday, interfered with our attendance. "Brethren, this ought not to be." The Intermediate Department will be under the direction of Miss E. Branch and Mrs. E. Williams. This leaves Mrs. Bryant in charge of the Primary Department. She will need an assistant. Our Sunday school has a hopeful future. Members and friends who expect to attend services at the Second Baptist Church, Sunday morning, are requested to read the eighteenth chapter of Matthew. Bring your Bibles. Beginning Sunday evening, July 30, we will spend five or six Sunday evenings studying the Lord's prayers. For Sunday, "Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name," Matt. G:9. The Missionary Society held its regular meeting Monday evening. Seventeen members were present. Among our visitors were Miss Edith Allen, Messrs. J. Bunyan Chiles, J. Cole and J. H. Stewart. The society voted to render a literary and musical program Monday evening, Aug. 7. A well-wisher sent a "full grown dinner" to the sonapause for Sunday. I dare not call the name. You will have to guess. Pastor and wife ate their Sunday dinner with Deacon and Mrs. Cullars. Mrs. Mary E. Sankey and husband, of Portland, Ore., worshiped with us Sunday evening. Mrs. Sankey is a member. Mrs. Anderson and Lenore Bryant are on the sick list. A QUIET FIRE ON WABASH. Despite the coolness of the weather last Monday evening Mrs. L. Duyrk, 3410 Wabash avenue, felt very warm sitting in her dining room and could not account for it until a fireman came in dragging a hose and told her the front of her house was afire. The damage done was estimated at $500. THE HAMPTON NEGRO CONFER ENCE.

Ed Erik, the founder and Chicago Defender, is giving to the public one of the best, if not the best, Negro papers to be found in the entire world. Mr. Abbott is interested in his work and he is devoting his life to this paper and my interests far more than he is for himself. There is no question about Mr. Abbott as an editor, for you see his works every week. And now the question I want to ask is, "Do we appreciate the efforts of this good race-loving man?" If we do here is a chance to show it. It takes money and a deal of it to prepare, print, and then get the papers, your homes. The reporters, printers, and newsboys must be paid, and so must our editor live or our paper will die. Now that it takes money to do these things, will you permit me to urge you to pay for your paper each week and help us to grow strong, for in proportion as we grow stronger, in that same proportion are we able to fit you with a better paper, with more news. On the report sheet for the last two weeks we have been able to turn in no cash for Evanston. This looks bad, and it puts our Evanston office in a very embarrassing position. Our records show that we have over eighteen dollars out; that is, owed to us for papers sold at five cents each. Just think of it! Over six hundred papers unpaid for! Now suppose that these papers were paid for each week; we would be able to improve our Evanston letter by a hundred per cent. We are going in debt every day paying the reporters, printers and newsboys, while at the same time we are receiving nothing in return. In other words, everything is going out and nothing coming in. I want to appeal to our subscribers and to the people of Evanston to unite with us in our effort to supply you with race news by paying for your paper as you get it, thereby going away with bookkeeping and re- ing the expense of the general e. Help us to continue to give at the news of the people, for the people, and by the people. Mr. Walter Wills Appointed. Mr. Walter Wills, 1920 Ashbury avenue, has been appointed letter carrier for the city of Evanston. This makes eight colored letter carriers for this city. A fine showing. The colored men of our post office have made everlasting records for themselves as men. The postmaster spends in the highest terms of each of these men, and we feel certain that Mr. Wills will not lower the pre- vious records. Mr. Wills passed the civil service examination last fall with an average of 79% per cent. Business Section Each week we shall endeavor to put before the public our business men of Evanston. In order to do this we have opened a business column, which our business men can use at the small cost of ten cents a line of six words. Hardware.

Miss Flora Sharpe Dead. Miss Flora Sharpe, cousin to Mrs. H. Y. Keen, 1120 Clark street, died Sunday evening about 10:45. Miss Sharpe had been ill for some time, but was unwilling to give up, until her weakness forced her. For three weeks she lay a patient sufferer under the care of Dr. F. Garnett, and nursed by Mrs. T. L. Auter. Miss Sharpe was born in Troy, Lincoln County, Mo., in 1867. She came to Evanston about ten or twelve years ago. She later went to California, where she remained for eight years. About a month ago Miss Sharpe came to Evanston and found employment at the Classical School of Evanston, where she worked up to the time of her death. She leaves a father, mother, four brothers and three sisters, a number of relatives and a host of friends. The funeral sermon was preached at the residence of Mrs. Keen by Rev. H. S. Graves, Interment at Rose Hill Tuesday. Mr. Ernest Burns is visiting with his arms. Chas. Br缝idge, Clark street. Ebenezer A. M. E. Church Despite the rain, there was a splendid attendance at each of the services of Ebenezer last Sunday. Brother Sampson preached at 11 o'clock, and at 8 the pastor delivered an address, using as a subject "Lead, Kindly Light." He gave its history, giving much time to the study of the life of Cardinal Newman. It proved to be a very inspiring and helpful mission, at the conclusion of which tree persons united with the church. Sunday school next Sunday at the al hour, at which time the date the "outing" will be named. All children are expected to be on hand the 3 o'clock hour next Sunday, the first Sunday in August. The pastor, Rev. H. S. Graves, will preach Sunday morning from the theme, "Three Hebrew Worthies," at night on "The Power of the Gospel." The new choir, which is singing during the absence of the old which is on a vacation, made an appearance last Sunday. to the delight of all. Everything went off just as though they were the old-timers, led by Mr. De Pugh. The solo work of Mesdames Osborn and Snowden was very fine. There will be a solo by some one each Sunday morning or night. Mrs. Charles Simpson, 1506 Elmwood avenue, is entertaining her friend, Miss Mollie Jones, of Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. Nora Batey and Miss Rena Wheaton, who were injured in a smash-up last week, are resting easy at this writing. Mrs. F. E. White, 621 Grove street, entertained at dinner Saturday Mr. and Mrs. James Martin, of Dubuque, Iowa, and Mrs. Will Martin, of Evanston. Mrs. Z. Lawton and little daughter, of Chicago, visited with Mrs. Mack Williams, 1910 Railroad avenue, this week. Miss Jane Scruggs of Chicago is visiting at the residence of Mr. William Miller, 810 Davis street. Mrs. L. J. Titus, 1709 Dodge avenue, contemplates a visit to her home, St. Louis, Mo., in the near future. Mrs. C. B. Scruggs, 1916 Asbury avenue, returned home Sunday from Kalamazoo, Mich., where she has been for the last three weeks at the bedside of her daughter, Mrs. Roy Whalerling. Mr. and Mrs. Whalerling accompanied Mrs. Scruggs home. Mrs. Whalerling is very much improved at this writing. Miss Florence A. White, 621 Grove street, is entertaining Mrs. W. F. Lowry and friend from Institute, W. Va. Mr. John Green Found Dead. Mr. John Green of Missouri was found dead Monday morning, July 24, in his room at Mrs. George Wilson's lodging house, 818 Church street. Mr. Green came to Evanston about five months ago and took up his residence with the Wilsons. He was apparently sick when he came here, but was not confined to his bed until a week before his death. Mr. Green was a high Mason, Eastern Star and a Chapter member. Mt. Morlali Lodge of Evanston took charge of his body and shipped it to his former home in Missouri. K. of P. Delegates at Grand Lodge. At the recent Grand Lodge, which convened at St. Louis, Evanston was well represented. The delegates from the R. B. Elliott Lodge, K. of P., No. 36, were Dr. W. Fi Garnett, Mr. E. H. Ballenger and Lawyer John R. Auter. Among the honors bestowed upon our Evanstonians were Dr. Garnett, who was elected chairman of Obituary Committee, and Lawyer Auter who was elected a member of the Official Board. We feel proud of these honors, but we could expect no more from such men. Dr. Garnett is a man whom we all feel proud of, and his enduring force of character has made him a circular nucleus, around which is growing a power to be reckoned with in the future. Lawyer John Auter is known from coast to coast as the men who defends his people on any man's land, and to have him on the Official Board means good thinking on the part of his brothers. Mr. Ballenger, though an humble citizen, is a man that makes it his business not to go where he isn't wanted. An honest, reliable and respected citizen of our north shore. But Evanston is also indebted to Sir A. A. Wheatley, G. C., for his persistent support and his hearty co-operation, which he has given from time to time in behalf of R. B. Elliott Lodge. ROMANCE IS NOT YET DEAD Little Incident of the Streets of San Francisco Shows That It Still Lives. At the corner of Twenty-second and Guerrero streets a young man waited for a car. Out of the corner of his eye he saw two other people waiting—a boy just out of his teens and a young girl. A suit case stood near them. The boy leaned against a plate glass window and looked impatiently up the street. "I wish that car would hurry!" murmured the girl in a tone of voice low, but not so low that the near-by young man could hear. "What if your father should come along!" the boy muttered. "Gee, if your father should come along before the car gets here!" "Oh, he won't," the girl said, with a simulation of unconcern. "He never walks along here where the cars go. He doesn't like the noise." "If your father should come along first!" muttered the boy. That was evidently the thing uppermost in his mind. And the young man who stood near by smiled to himself to know that romance is not dead, but still lives—in the mission! And he smiled again to think that of the two the girl seemed the cooler.—San Francisco Chronicle. Luke 19:3. Deacon—"I fear it's the Sunday paper we must blame for our small morning congregations, pastor."

JUST A LITTLE SMILE A man who had been caught in a raid on a gambling house was arraigned, not long ago, before a magistrate. "What is your trade?" the magistrate asked. "I am a locksmith, sir." "And what were you doing in the gambling den?" pursued the magistrate. "What were you doing when the police entered?" The locksmith looked into the magistrate's face with an expression of sublime innocence. "Why, your honor," he answered, "I was making a bolt for the door." OUT IN THE COLD. Weary Willie—This kicking me out of your barn into the snow is what I should call a rather summary proceeding.

"I suppose, senator," said the beautiful girl, "you have succeeded in your political career by always being at the right place at the right time." "Well, no," the statesman replied.

GOWNS FOR DOG DAYS STYLISH MODEL FOR GIRL WHO IS OWN DRESSMAKER. Simple, Cool Afternoon Frock That Lauders Well and Costs Little Money Is Most Needed During Hot Spell. It is astonishing how many girls make their own frocks nowadays and what taste and good sense they put into the buying of the materials. The primary reason for the industry, of course, is that so many changes are needed for a smart appearance, and where money is not plentiful there is nothing to do but to acquire the gentle art of the needle. As to the discretion displayed with the purchasing, it must be due to the fact that so many mothers give a dress allowance and wisely stop with the sum agreed upon, no matter how many other things are wanted. In this way the girl learns how to make the dress money cover everything needed and the experience gained thereby is certain to benefit her all her life. The dress most needed at this dog day time is the simple, cool afternoon frock that laundered well, that costs little money and yet, somehow, presents an appearance dalty enough for all the little social occasions that come up. This simple and girlish gown can be turned out for $2, and if the material is carefully chosen and the work well done, it will have a stamp of real distinction. Ramie linen, in a dull shade of coronation purple, is one of the textures much used now for the semi-dress frock the smart girl wears in the afternoon. This material and various muslins of effective pattern—preferably stripes—are made up into one-piece effects, with the inevitable collarless neck and elbow sleeves. There is always a dalty flat collar in white, too, flare cuffs matching, or the collarless neck line will end with a little blas of the gown material, this bit of color showing smartly on the white. In our illustration are given two frocks which may be used for both indoors and out, and be made up most inexpensively. The one at the left is a collarless morning frock for a girl of sixteen, the bodice and attached skirt fastening down the front. With the blue and white check a stripe in the same is employed for making the neat collar and cuff bands and a deep skirt edge. Five yards and DRESSS a half of wide gingham would turn out this trim and useful gown and the girl would find it invaluable for outdoor sports, such as tennis, boating or golf. Then it is fine for the small housekeeping duties the daughter of the family so often takes upon herself and whose cares are lightened by half if she feels herself prettily dressed. The second dress in this cut is a one-piece model with side fastening for an older girl. Ramie would be appropriate for this and coronation purple the first choice for color. The pretty braid and buttons used would be most effective in white, although the same color could be used and the result be even handsomer. Here the dress is of rame in a soft gray shade, with braid bands in the same color; the dark piece on the turn-over collar is of coral pink linen, the round bone buttons matching the tone. Either of these dress styles, with some change, is adapted to handsome textures, but as this is the season for the simple frock of so-called wash sort I would advise tub textures with the present simplifications of make. Seven yards of 27-inch goods would turn out this frock for a girl of eighteen. Mary Dean Flowered Underwear One of the latest fads of the season is the use of dainty sprigged and flower cambrids for underwear. This, of course, is merely a passing whim, for there are too many women who conservatively object to introducing color into the scheme of the lingerie for it to become a fixed fashion. Those who have no prejudice in this regard and who jump at anything new are choosing early Victorian designs in soft, pale colorings which wash well and embolden cambrids and lawns and dotted swishes which are put to the same purposes as well as figured muslins. All of these certainly have a dainty and very summer-like appearance when neatly and becoming made. PROFITABLE FEED FOR PIGS Farmer Should Know Physical Make Up of Animal Thoroughly in Order to Secure Good Pork. To produce pork the most profitably, to do it at least cost of feed, time and labor and in the shortest possible feeling period, it stands to reason we should know the physical make-up of the animal thoroughly in order that the breeding, the feed selected, the housing and caring from birth to butchering, would all tend to be the most ideal and beneficial, says the Agriculturist. Select well-developed, large sows about a year old, also a compact, vigorous, healthy smaller boar to insure strong, healthy offspring. Give them a clover field to run in, a comfortable place to sleep and for shelter; plenty of fresh water and you will have taken the first important steps to obtain vigorous young pigs. At weaning time, when artificial feed is to be substituted for nature's food, it is well to know that the nearer the feed harmonizes in chemical constituents with those of the animal's body, the more healthful and vigorous will be the growth and development and less the liability to disease. The selection of the right feed for little pigs is especially important, because it forms the basis on which the foundation for heavy, forced feeding during the later fattening period is built, and if this early foundation is not strong, healthy and vigorous, it will break down under heavy feeding and slackness, disease and inability to gain in weight is sure to result. Therefore, the feed used should be easy to digest. It should supply vigor and energy to induce rapid growing. It should be succulent to create keen appetite, build tissue and rich blood. The following ration will be found to contain all the elements for successfully growing little pigs: Merlene, a sterilized molasses. Green iceover. Milk, slop or water. This ration will nourish all parts of the pig's body and produce fast Oisseleosxugforeg e2m eb...t44 growth. It will bring the pigs up to the fattening period in a most excellent condition, when the ration can be changed to corn and merlene, with water and slop, and you will be surprised how fast they will fatten and how big they will grow. HOUSE FOR THE HIRED MAN Laboring Man Prefers City Life Because He Cannot Obtain Comfortable Quarters in Country. (B. B. J. WAGGONER) Every farm where hired help is employed by the year should have good, comfortable quarters for the help. It is time we began to reform our habit of housing our farm help. One of the reasons why laboring men prefer to live in the city is because they cannot find comfortable houses in the country. How many dairy farmers who are complaining about the scarcity of good help provide as good house for their help as they do for their cows? Can we blame a self-respecting laboring man for not moving his family into a hovel? The American farm laborer is a human being and he should be shown as much respect as a prize Jersey to say the least. How many neat and attractive cottages suitable for an American laboring man are there vacant in your neighborhood? Any good man who is worth hiring by the year is worthy of a good, comfortable house for himself and family. If we keep good help we must treat them right. Men who have no homes go to the most cheerful places they can find and I am sorry to confess it is not always in a hovel behind a big red barn. The better the house and surroundings you furnish, within limits, the better class of men you will be able to hire. Disease of Chickens It is important to have a good understanding of the cause of diseases in order that one may prevent their spread and find a cure when necessary. To attempt to apply remedies is useless unless the cause of the disease is accurately determined. The white diarrhea which has proved so destructive to chicks is an example of bacterial disease. Experts in Washington, Yale university, Rhode Island and Connecticut State colleges, Doctor Palge said, have been investigating its cause. They have found that it originates in the infection of the egg from which the chick is hatched, but no cure has yet been discovered. Keeping Plants in Bloom Picking and using blossoms as fast as they open will induce continual blooming. When this is done no seeds will form to sap the plants of vitality, and nature, in her effort to reproduce, will continually send out more blossoms. For the same reason, when any bulbous or tuberous rooted plants have finished blooming cut the tops away before seed has ripened. This will not only make the roots more vigorous for subsequent growth and blooming, but the unsightly tops will be out of the way. Blackleg Vaccine.
