By J. A. Mundy, Staff Correspondent. Indianapolis, Ind., August 25. "Neath fair skies and balmy breezes the incomparable Knights of Pythias and Order of Calanthe assembled for the sixteenth bi-enniel session in the beautiful city of Indianapolis, Ind. The Chicago delegation and uniform rank, accompanied by numerous prominent Chicagoans, were the first visitors to reach the city. They were immediately camped at Camp Stranther. All day Sunday the mighty host were coming to the city on every train from the east, west, north and south. The streets were flooded with the harmonious strains from bands galore while in the churches prominent soloists lifted up their voices in praise to God. Mr. Frank Warren was soloist at Bethel church in the morning. Mr. James A. Mundy was soloist at night. was greeted with thunderous applause. The city of Indianapolis has officially recognized this magnificent gathering of Negroes by decorating even the most prominent streets. Hon. Claude Wayne, of Hot Springs, Ark., responded to the mayor. He said that "when he passed another white man on the street he did not know whether he was a Socialist, Nhlilist or an Anarchist, but when he met a Negro he knew he met a loyal American citizen." He made a plea for a square deal for the Negro. The Eighth Regiment band is the superior musical organization attending the encampment. Cheer upon cheer greets it upon every appearance. Monday evening at 8:30 p. m. the welcoming exercises were held at Bethel church before an audience of three thousand. Mr. George Stewart, editor of the Indianapolis Recorder, was master of ceremonies. Mr. Stewart said in part: "Your coming here is a testimony of the progress of the greatest race on the face of the earth." Response by Dr. Allan Wesley, grand chancellor of Illinois. Dr. Wesley spoke of how the government guarded the original copy of the Declaration of Independence and of the great price paid for it, of how it begins with the statement that "all men are created equal." Dr. Wesley spoke of the great confidence placed in the Negroes of Illinois by giving them a regiment, with colored officers. He said: "What is true of the Negroes of Illinois is true of the Negroes" every state if only given a cha. The Pythian order is supported by a membership of more than two hundred thousand represents more than one million dollars. The K. of P. were welcomed to the city by Mayor Shank. The mayor spoke of having given a donation to the K. of P. two years ago when Indianapolis filed a request for the sixteenth bi-ennial session. "In the absence of Gov. Marshall, who is a democrat, and as you know you cannot always believe what a democrat says," the mayor spoke. The mayor said: "I welcome you here not as Negro citizens but as American citizens. I refuse to discriminate against any type. Our homes are open to you; so are our jails. If any policeman refuses to give you any information take his number and report him to me and I will see that he is properly reprimanded." The mayor paid a splendid compliment and an unusual tribute to the colored woman, which Dr. Wilberforce Williams is one of the Chicagoans who has recently arrived. Miss Elizabeth Clarke arrived in the city Wednesday. Miss Jeannette Triplette is quite popular with the Indianapolis smart set. Mr. David Burrows and Mr. Benjamin Martin are visiting here. Miss Naomi Jackson is the fair daughter of the regiment.

On Tuesday afternoon, August 22 at Wonderland park, Booker T. Washington delivered an address before an audience of six thousand people. Mr. Washington congratulated the audience upon its thrifty appearance and orderly conduct. He said: "The object of the K. of P. order is to teach race pride." Mr. Washington spoke of his European studies and investigations and compared the Negro to the corresponding group in the European countries to the Negro's advantage. He said that in Austria a man had to learn 17 different languages to not be handicapped in a community but that 10,000,000 Negroes speak the greatest language of the world—the English language. He said further that "the Negro is shut out here and there in places where you least expect him he asserted himself to his credit." "If the Italian boy and the Greek, handicapped by a strange language, can get ahead the Negro boy can do the same through thrift." "If the kite files by alid of the opposition wind, the Negro can and will rise against opposition."

Cooper and Couch were delegates to the CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 1911 THE SEGREGATION EQUIVALENT AT EVANSTON. Revelations of the past two weeks at Evanston have revealed to us that there must be two screws loose somewhere in that city; a black screw and a white screw; one the screw of prejudice and the other a screw of ignorance. The Evanston Amusement company has inoculated that city with a new form of local prejudice which its best citizens will have cause to regret, while Mason's restaurant has presented another form based upon ignorance equally as disastrous. In the two we have a racial equivalent to base an argument upon to add to the gravity of the situation. What the situation really wants is not argument but intelligent treatment and of a kind that will solve the problem of a baseless condition and lead the erring parties back into the light. Of W. T. Mason, a restaurant keeper, who was a little over criticised by one John A. Guy in our last issue, there is but one conclusion. Mr. Mason should not have drawn the segregation line in his new restaurant by relegating the people of his own race to the rear, and while his business outlook is a delicate problem to handle we must build upon his lack of intelligence by informing him that he cannot discriminately segregate his people without incurring such contempt as would injure his trade with both races because of the respectable standing of the colored people who live in the community. The only thing Mr. Mason can do to insure the respect of his race is to inform such people who may be untidy that they will have to take a back seat, white or black, or sit at the lunch counter. And Mr. Mason should abolish the policy of a special waiter for each race of people. Mr. Mason must further be informed that white people will patronize whoever they please when they get ready in order to get what they want and good service regardless of other races or colors, whether in a restaurant or a theater. While Mr. Mason must not be judged too harshly for what he did not know he was first to establish a precedent which gave to the Evanston Amusement company an equivalent with which to base their contention upon—if they are cheap enough to do it. With all things said and done, the white race is strong and should not take advantage of the black race of people who are weak in a highly cultured city like Evanston and it will be not only up to the colored people to rebel, but it will be the duty of the newspapers and the best and strongest class of white citizens to compel the Evanston theater management to give the colored citizens a square deal at the box office and the order must come from the head of the house and not from poor subordinates who are naturally prejudiced. Whether Amsted is to continue to maintain a clean, respectable, unbiased community such as she bears by reputation will be watched editorially by the Defender with great interest.

In Memoriam—Mr. Benjamin Bransom. The somewhat sudden death of Mr. Benjamin Bransom, which took place on Friday, August 18, at his residence, 2809 Dearborn street, came as a shock to his many friends and old acquaintances of this city, which has been his home for more than forty years. He had complained for a day bri or two of stomach trouble, but his illness was not considered dangerous, as he frequently suffered from such trouble. Death came before his nearest neighbors were aware of his illness. Mr. Bransom was one of the solid men of Chicago. Making no pretensions to society, he had by dint of industry and rigid economy acquired a competence. The stranger passing him would not suspect him of the possession of so much as a dollar, so simple and plain was he in dress and manner. Mr. Bransom was a member of Ebenezer Baptist church and its missionary society, together with the Old Settlers' club, was present at his funeral, which was held in the church on Tuesday, August 22, at 2 p. m. About a month ago Mr. B. made a visit to Pittsburgh, Pa., having learned that he had a sister there from whom he had been separated for more than twenty years. He found her, also a family of grown nieces and nephews, and great was their mutual pleasure in the reunion. He met with the Old Settlers on the 10th inst., and was as delighted as a boy as he told of the success of his mission and what a delightful visit he had with his new-found relatives. Having no immediate family of his own, like the methodical business man that he always had been, Mr. B. upon his return home proceeded to the making of a will disposing of his wealth to the sister and her family. This consisted not only of a bank account in the Hibernian bank but valuable holdings of real estate and mortgages on property in this city. A niece and nephew came on from Pittsburgh to attend the funeral and accompany the remains back to his former home, to which place they were shipped under the direction of the Emanuel Jackson Undertaking company of this city and Pittsburgh. As we go to press news comes to this office of the death of Mrs. Champ at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. M. Hall, 5140 La Salle street, at 8 o'clock on Wednesday. THE CONFEDERATE CAPITAL THE CONFEDERATE CAPITAL NEWS OF MONTGOMERY. Chicago, When You Are on the Inside. By Miss Katie Glass Brothers. Montgomery, Ala., August 25.—Dear Editor: I felt it my duty to have this news reach your office last week but havir, illness in the family and entertaining friends on the subject "Chicago" my time was entirely taken. I shall not forget the hospitality showed me by the many people I met while there. I voice the sentiment of one of the old residents when she said, "To have a good time in Chicago depends with whom you are stopping." The last Sunday I spent there was the most delightful one. How I filled the engagements on that day was surprising to me. Mrs. Williams, the sister of Mr. and Mrs. Noah D. Thompson, had a most delightful breakfast. Mr. and Mr. S. J. Carter, the host and hostess O. and Mrs. N. D. Thompson, and myself had a delightful dinner. After dinner Mr. and Mrs. Nannie Jackson (the supervisor of the kindergarten department of Washington, D. C.) and myself with an auto ride through some of the principal parts of the city until their train time, Miss Jackson leaving ten minutes before them for Washington. After their departure I was driven to the west side, where Mr. and Mrs. J. Lowe awaited a delightful dinner. Am too sorry I have not space to mention the kindness of each person separately. I am sure I will not be able to meet three more congenial people than Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Carter and Miss Kodie, their sister. I thank the editor, Mr. Abbott, for the presentation of the song, "If I Forget," by the colored artists, and am proud to say I brought the first copy to this city. I also appreciate the post cards he gave me photographed by the colored artist, Mr. Jones, of some of the colored enterprises. Among some of our leading people who are visiting Chicago now are: Dr. and Mrs. Wm. Washington, Dr. N. F. Watkins, Mrs. Alice Young and Mrs. Carlton and quite a number of others. Mrs. Annie Watkins has gone to Ashville, N. C. Dr. and Mrs. D. H. C. Scott and sister, Miss Gertrude Watkins, have gone to Virginia to attend the business league. Miss Alice Watkins is back from Savannah, Ga., Charleston, S. C. and Atlanta, Ga. She reported having the time of her life. Mr. Paul Brothers has been indisposed for a few days. Miss Nellie Brothers spent a few days in Mobile. Mrs. T. L. Harris of Mobile was the guest of Mrs. Scott and the Watkins family a few days. THE COATESVILLE LYNCHING. The lynching of Zachariah Walker, a Negro, who shot and killed a police man who tried to arrest him is not to be protested by unspeakable silence. There has been a blot on the name of the respectable little town of Coatesville, Pa., that will not wipe out, in which justice only can appease the injured hearts of its citizens. It has been stated on good authority that no charge of his having attacked a white woman had been proven and no proof that he was a desperado. Judge Butler of West Chester, Pa. the county seat, in his ruling declared that any one who was in the mob and knew for what purpose the mob was gathered is guilty of murder. In this step Judge Butler goes down in history as a new appraiser of life and justice to all mankind irrespective of race or color in adding to the upbuilding of a modern civilization. Then the good judge recommended these facts: "One is responsible for his actions if he associates himself with a mob, even if he gives no physical assistance, but merely sanctions violence. Then he is just as guilty of murder under the law as if he helped to commit murder." The thing most depressing in the case is that young men and boys ranging from the ages of 16 to 25 years were foremost in the spirit of the mob and this will necessitate the vigorous counsel of older men if we are to maintain peace and civility at all times and in all places as a law abiding nation. Says Mr. J. Ellison, Is Not to Exter- minate Them. By J. Ellison. In referring to the progress, uplift, intellect and refinement of the American citizen we have a problem that has yet to be presented before the American public, and receive the unprejudiced consideration and thought that its merits demand. It should appeal to each and every peace loving citizen to assist in the solution of this problem, which is lynching, or what we now call the extermination of Negro blood from American soil just by degrees. We should discourage every attempt to violate the law, especially in that respect, as the future welfare and success of our country depends only on the accomplishments of the present generation. So that is why we, the people of this generation, should by all means dispose of lynching, as it has degenerated the universe to the very lowest depths of degradation. And my opinion in regard to this problem is that America as a country can never rank with her sister countries of the eastern hemisphere from an intellectual and refined standpoint until she has mastered the art or attained the capability of squelling a furious and angry mob intent on squandering human souls at the expense of the Negro race. FREDERICK DOUGLASS CENTER. 3032 Wabash Avenue. August 27 at 4 p. m. the meeting will consist of an instrumental solo by Miss Beatrice White, vocal solo by Mr. Charles Settles, vocal solo by Mr. Cleo Jones, Mr. Louis G. Gregory will give an address from his observations while abroad, the subject being, "Life in the Far East." WALTERS A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. The congregations at both of our services on last Sunday were the largest we have seen since Rev. Callis took charge of the church. The sermons both morning and evening were greatly enjoyed. There was a large number of visitors present, many of them recently from the south. Miss Lillian Browder has returned from Knoxville, where she was in attendance of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Convention and the Connexional Council. Mrs. J. B. Foster, who was severely hurt in an accident on the 18th, is gradually recovering. The services for next Sunday will be as usual. Dr. Callis will preach morning and evening. All the rally captains are asked to meet on Monday the 28th at the home of the pastor, 3629 Forest avenue, at 8 p. m., and bring a complete list of the names and addresses of their workers. The Grace team won from Second church 9 to 1 in the Presbyterian Brotherhood Baseball league last Saturday at Washington park. Reeves pitched a good game for the winners, being effective with men on bases. Baker, Irwin and Hardy were stars with the bat. Grace and Quinn chapel will play their postponed game Saturday afternoon, August 26. WE CHARGE FOR NOTICES. Some of our friends get angry when we tell them we charge for notices and speak of having them placed in the daily papers free; we ask them to go and try it and if they to we will give them a page free. It costs to set up type, when the paper fails you will be the first to say, "I told you so." Six hundred getting the paper without paying for it is enough free dosage. Evanston Southern (White) Society Successful in Jim Crow Theater, Will Now Resort to Jim Crow Street Cars—The Unwarranted Segregation a Blight in Cultured Evanston; Where There Are as Many Churches as Schools. TOILS OF UNION ARMY GO FOR NAUGHT. The Rights of the Negro Citizen Should Be Demanded and Respected; the Matter Peaceably Adjusted, Once and Always—The Constitution of the United States Must Be Respected and Guarded as Strictly as the "Monroe Doctrine" Was in the Case of Cuba and the Mother Country. By Staff Correspondent. Wonderfully surprising are the unexpected things which happen when you least expect them and where you have had no idea they exist. The report that the Negro race was segregated at the opening of the now Evanston theater last Monday evening without friction or protest may do well enough in a way but the ways of many white people are deceitful and it may be that the Negro race knew nothing about the segregation plan until after they had discovered it. But in the report we are told that the Evanston Amusement company had already discussed the question of segregating the two different colors of black and white faces among its patrons and that of itself would be sufficient cause for general disapproval. We are told that the white people are given seats downstairs that the Negroes are guided through a separate entrance to a section of the gallery reserved especially for them. And it is also understood that the same company had turned over a five cent picture theater on Davis street for the patronage of colored people by giving them the greater portion of the house and by segregating the lesser portion to white people. And in this latter clause it is easy to estimate how much duty a common successful white grafter will place upon his more ignorant white brother just for the sake of his own financial greed as a deduction to the weaker end of a modern white civilization. How the Seating System Could Be Favorably Adjusted. Only a few years ago when Williams and Walker were drawing such large mixed audiences, the problem did not terminate to be one of segregation but rather one of regulation of management. The question of segregation was not lawfully nor legitimately looked upon in the modern intelligent cities of the north and George W. Walker was openly opposed to an affront to the people of his own race who had just as much right as white people to see Williams and Walker in any part of a theater where they could afford to sit. A stage critic on the "Freeman" contended that the third or fourth row across in the orchestra or as many rows as would be necessary to seat colored people would not be objected to by the patrons unless the management objected to it themselves out of ignorance, but it is now out of the question. The few white people who object are generally very much in the minority and usually of a common bred class who should be taught human intelligence. I contended that rows clear across the house in the balconies would be a square deal and that segregation to certain corners of the balconies and a refused admission to the orchestra down stairs would only cultivate and further breed a condition of contempt that is not only demoralizing but damaging to the people of a nation where they are obliged to sit together and ride daily in the cars and work together as laborers, to say nothing of the social evils which both the white man and the white woman deliberately take in their own hands at twilight with the Negro race. And if white men object to the mixing of the races and know the problem as it is known and written, let them object to the private end of it at least and let us not further bore the public with a spirit that reflects upon the white race. Pride of the Community of All Importance The way not to be further bored by the race question in a most respectable community like Evanston where all the colored people are known to be respectable, is for the community itself to get after the Evanston Amuse- A. Stirling Calder, the Philadelphia sculptor, was reminded at the Franklin Inn club, apropos of the Fourth of July and Liberty, o: a story about the great Barthold status in New York bay. "An eminent English critic," he said, "sailing into New York bay for the first time, saw Barthold's colossal work and said: Dellacy of the Ancients. In Italy today plum livers are served in a way that is accurately described by Apiccius before the Christian era. Mixed with herbs, salt and wine they are stuffed into small sausage skins, with one bay leaf to each and baked.

Interpondent. ment company either radically in the newspapers or legally by a lawful test of the rights and privileges of all of its citizens. Certainly the pride of any small community depends upon the civility of its citizens. What affects one sect or class affects another. Returning to the nickel theater we find that poor white people in Evanston who have only a nickel to spare must go to the blackville nickel theater by command of the Evanston Amusement company of autocrats, that the poor white folks must step aside and let the nickel Negro pass. The same poor white fellow who must sit in a corner in the Negro nickel theater, after he gets a good job and gets dressed up in his Sunday best goes to the new Evanston theater and sits next to a rich girl to win her heart and hand just for spite. After he has married the girl and humiliated the family and after they inform him that he is poor, he tells them how he used to sit among the Negroes in a nickel theater and only wishes he was once more thrown among the happiest race of people in the world. Negro Race Should Rebel Against the Management. The time is fast approaching when the Negro race both north and south, but especially in the south, has got to rise up in arms against the sultin and merciless depredations of criminal and illegal inhumanity that a certain minority of the white race try to thrust upon them. There is no remedy for the deficiencies of law except by arbitration and in the contention the best people of the white race will be forced as a duty to bury in the demands of, not color, but a higher civilization and a greater spirit of unblessed brotherhood. If the poor white boy who sits in the orchestra seat can woo the rich white girl, certainly the well-to-do black boy has less chance and is not dreaming of the opportunity as the white boy is when he goes to see a show. However oddly this message may be received e Evanson it will be accepted as a blow to a white man's intelligence when I inform everybody th white and black people sit together in the boxes and orchestra seats, muc less the gallery, at the New Gran theater on State street, Chicago, A. 1911. Jim Crow Street Cars. Tuesday morning a body of men who, from their conversa seemed to have called a meeting er the opening of the Jim Crow he were discussing the idea of bining right away on the Jim Crow street cars, but two of the gentlemen were a little more reserved and advised the waiting and see what effect the first blow will have on the better class of white citizens. From all accounts it is thought that the Evanston Southern Society are working quietly and energetically as the ant, testing every law that the old state of Illinois has in its archives. On reaching the station one of the gentlemen say "You may call the members to me at my house. You see it is out of way and no one will suspect any Evanston and Chicago must be the city of Atlanta or New Orleans, the nigger must be kept down and the only way to keep them down is to humilitate them, is to keep them of our colleges, make them the last seats in our street ca, when necessary make them t the street."

Prof. Bernette Daves, 4064 Dearborn street, and Miss Georgia Lewis are now entertaining at the Bachelors' club parlor, 4704 State street. Miss Lewis' latest songs are as follows: "Billy," "When I Woke Up She Was Gone," and the "Monkey Rag." With the assistance of Mr. Walter Green, the drummer. J. Bates, 418 West 36th street, New York city, is running to Chicago as second chef in service of the Erie Railway company under Boston Van Winkle. Mr. S. H. Gladden, 115 Montgomery street, Jersey City, N. J., is now with the relief crew, swinging between Jersey City and Buffalo, N. Y., in dining car service of the Erie Railroad company. Mr. Gladden is badly missed by the boys in Chicago. Mr. R. E. Anderson, 5200 Dearborn street, is now holding a position between Chicago and Mattoon, IL, in Pullman service over the Illinois Central railroad in charge. John Dixon, chef on the Wabash railroad, is now off on a vacation down east to New York city visiting his brother, Will Dixon, the song writer. John W. Williams, 4722 Dearborn street, who is holding a position between Chicago and Rock Island, Ill., as train porter, has a very slick wife at the above address. Mr. Williams states that she improves very slowly. The Chicago Defender wishes her an early recovery. Mr. Thomas Maxwell is running to Evansville, Ind., in parlor car service over the C. & E. I. Railway in*service of the Pullman company. Great Dining Car Cook. Boston Van Winkle is the oldest dining car cook, in point of service, on the Erie Railroad, having been with the Pullman company prior to the Erie taking over the dining car. He does not claim any relationship with "Old Rip," because Boston has not been asleep, being a very steady, consistent worker; a heavy rush, or light business, is all the same to him, and he never loses his head. It is due to his having "broken in" so many "third" and "second" cooks that has given him the name the "Father of Cooks." Boston is a real old stamby in the dining car department and a general favorite among the boys that serve the edibles on the immaculate linen-covered tables on which the mirror-like cutlery greets the eye and temples the appetite. And, my goodness, how that Boston person can juggle with the tid-bits of the big city markets. Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Reed, 4754 Armour avenue, entertained at a dinner party Thursday, August 24, from 2 to 4 p. m., in honor of relatives and friends visiting Chicago from Mobile, Ala. Among the guests were Mrs. R. S. Parker, Mrs. A. Young, Mrs. R. E. Chapman, Mrs. J. Stevens, Mr. and Mrs. L. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. J. Thomas of 2339 Cottage Grove avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Reed have tried to make it pleasant for their friends since their arrival in the city from the south, and hope they come back again next summer.

From a Country Store He Branched Out a Wire King, Then Invaded the Realms of High Finance. New York—One of the most picturesque figures in the business and financial life of this country passed in the death of John W. Gates. Gates was warmly loved and deeply hated. He won and lost millions, gave and received many hard blows, met the great kings of Wall street at their most familiar game of speculation and beat them. Breezily invaded many lines of endeavor and came out of them successful and wrote his name in large characters over financial events of a quarter of a century. He was a gambler by instinct. But he was never a bear. He was too optimistic for that. He beloved in upbuilding rather than in tearing down, and he shared with others the results of his indefatigable chase for wealth. His readiness to take a chance on any reasonable proposition and the large sum of money he was willing to risk upon the soundness of his judgment earned for him the sobriquet of "Betya-million" Gates. "All life is a chance he once said." The farmer gambles on the chance. Every man who goes into business embarks on speculation. Of course, the element of judgment enters in, but the element of chance cannot be ruled out. Whenever a man starts out on a railroad journey it's a gamble whether he ever reaches his destination." And on this principle Gates ruled his life. It was barbed wire that made Gates. It was introduced into use at a time when the ranchmen of the west and southwest were fencing in their broad acres and Gates, who was then conducting a little hardware store at BROOKLYN John W. Gates. Turner Junction, now a part of Chicago, saw his opportunity. He went to Texas as a salesman and soon took enough orders to swamp the manufactory for which he was working. Then he asked for a share in the profits and was refused. He became a manufacturer himself, establishing a plant at St. Louis, and soon found himself involved in lawsuits over patents. He moved into another state where the court injections issued against him could not reach him, finally won his case and continued for a time a successful career as a maker of barbed wire. Gates never turned his back upon opportunity and he saw opportunity beckoning to him. He began organizing and consolidating wire companies. He organized the Consolidated Steel and Wire company, which was capitalized at $90,000,000, and which he sold to the Federal Steel company. Then followed the American Steel and Wire company, capitalized at $90,000,000, and a little later the United States Steel corporation, with which Gates' companies were merged, was formed. He made millions out of these deals and other millions out of railway and industrial stocks. During his spectacular plunging in Wall street, which he entered soon after the close of the war with Spain, various attempts were made to break him. Occasionally his wings were somewhat singed, but he was never seriously wounded and he made the financial interests of Wall street reckon with him. One of his brilliant coups was the control he gained of the Louisville & Nashville railroad. His control of it imperiled certain important projects of J. Pierpont Morgan and other money kings and they were forced to buy his stock practically at his own price. In wheat and corn corners he is said to have made millions. He had nearly a perfect system of getting information of things which might affect Wall street. His own eyes were always open and when he could not look far enough ahead he paid others to do his scouting. After his retirement from Wall street, in 1907, he went to Texas, entered the oil fields and forced the Standard Oil to abandon that territory. Gates' business training began early. Before he was sixteen he contracted to husk a neighbor's corn and made enough money to buy an interest in threshing machine. He happened to strike a year of bumper crops and he succeeded so well that he was able to buy out his partners. Giving his threshing machine as security, he bought a piece of woodland, converted it into firewood, cleared $1,000 and still had his threshing machine. And he was not then eighteen years of age. Some of Gates' spectacular ventures were on the turf, and with many successes, he credit here he invaded land and is and 'he have man $375,000 one season. He was a man of tremendous energy, of heavy build, but not the least picturesque in appearance. He was not at all brusque and domineering, but gentle in manner and speech.

Owens, Dean, is the center of the religious life of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Alabama. It contains a Chapel, Library, Reading Room, Young Men's Christian Association and Recitation Rooms. The aim of the Bible Training School is to train colored young men and women in a thorough knowledge of the Bible, so that they may devote their lives to the elevation of their people. The teaching is wholly undenominational, the purpose of the school being to assist all denominations.

A lawsuit for libel brought by an apothecary in Pollau, in Syria, against a young peasant reveals an extraordinary superstition prevalent among the country people. The believe that apothecaries and doctors have the right to kill at least one man and one woman every year in order to make medicines out of their bodies. An accidental movement of the apothecary at Pollau, Herr Kobermauser, when giving medicine to a boy named Putz led the latter to believe he was going to be killed. He ran away but got such a fright that he fell ill. The inhabitants believed his story and boycotted the apothecary, who was at length compelled to prosecute. Putz was sentenced to fourteen days imprisonment, but his parents, who had spread the story, were acquitted on the ground that they had acted in good faith. Jollying the Parents "Why did you chuck that baby under the chin?" asked the man. "It is such an ugly little sinner." "That's why I chucked him," said the woman. "I always put the ugly bables. Pretty babies get so much coddling from strangers that their parents take it as a matter of course. It is the fathers and mothers of homely babies who appreciate attention. Didn't you notice how pleased that couple looked? I don't suppose anybody ever petted their baby before except themselves. They'll think a lot more of the youngster after this." Not Needed. A man recently acquired a motorcar. For its proper accommodation he built a shed near his house, and, when the structure was completed, a party of friends, who were invited to inspect it, noticed that, though quite small, the shed was a two-story building. They wanted to know what he intended to keep in the second story. The owner's reason was not satisfactory, but his wife revealed the reason for the second story. "You see," she said, "the second story was intended for a hay-loft, and it wasn't until the thing was built that Henry and I realized that a motor-car doesn't eat hay." Superstition Inane. Destiny has no pet dates—just as many fortunes have been made on Friday as on Monday and just as many men have died on the tenth as on the thirteenth of the month. The hoot of the owl is only fatal to sleep. To pass under a ladder is merely unintelligent—the inside is the more dangerous side. Your great-great-grandfather burned witches—you burn electric lights. Wake up! You're not in the dark ages.—Woman's World. Chickens and Humans. There is constant chatter while the pullets are eating—a flow of table-talk that would delight the heart of a hostess. But in the cockerel pen there is no small talk; they saw wood. Every fellow for himself, and the chopping block takes the hindmost. Oh, well, to each his own. And the pot has to be filled with the kettle black. The men would rather eat the pullets, and the women would rather talk them eat. We may as well own up.—Suburban Life. Ancient Hebrew Calendar Sabbath keeping appears in history soon after the Babel confusion among all the scattered nations, and when Israel left Egypt there were five known methods of Sabbath counting. The ancient Hebrew calendar was the nearest approach to a scientific calendar of any of which we have any record. Mrs. Prime Puzzled Cy Prime says: he often tells his wife that whatever he amounts to he owes to her—and the poor woman can't make up his mind whether he is handing her an insult or compliment. Really Interesting People Stevenson says he once sailed on a steamer which turned out to be a ship with no style on, but with plenty of sailors to talk to. "Plenty of sailors to talk to" suggests most anything but that "you can always tell a man by the company he keeps." The great man loves to rub elbows with what too often are unjustly called the common people, people who live their own queer way regardless of man-made laws or the whims and edicts of society. The common people are the only people who, wise or foolish, are natural and interesting. When Beescher "Hollered." Coming home from the morning service one Sunday Dr. Beecher threw himself on a lounge and, in a tone of deep dejection: "I believe that was the worst sermon I ever preached." One of his daughters protested that she had seldom heard him when he was more energetic. "Oh, yes," was the impatient rejig, "When I haven't anything to say I always holler."—The Outlook. Color In Precious Stones The color of gem stones, although of greatest importance commercially, is of little or no value in determining their particular identity. Certain stones show their characteristic shades of color, it is true, but it is only after various tests, have been applied that color can be considered at all as evidence of value. All minerals in their pure state are pure white, and the color shown is due to mineral pigment in many cases. Waa Misunderstood. A Russian, who although he has been some time in Paris, knows little or nothing of the French language, has just been sentenced to a month's imprisonment for having assaulted a policeman. He had also been accused of having insulted the agent of the law, but he was acquitted on that explanation from his counsel that the word which the policeman regarded as objectionable was also a Russian word, and perfectly innocent. May Be Overdone. Bishop Willard F. Mallalleu, at a dinner, defended the laws against Sunday breaking, Indecent literature, etc. "But these laws," objected a sociologist, "undermine our freedom." "Freedom," said Bishop Mallalleu, "is a good thing, but let us not make too much of it. In Pennsylvania, for instance, a man is free to marry his mother-in-law, but no man ever does." Yellow Journalism. Grandpa often read aloud from the newspaper for mana as she went about her work. One morning five-year-old Maxine brought a paper and sat down at his feet. Grandpa noticed that she, too, was pretending to read aloud. "A little girl ate a chicken alive and feathers growed all over her back," was the startling bit of news he heard.—From the House-keeper. Cheerfulness is a thing to be more profoundly grateful for than all that genius ever inspired or talent accomplished. Next best to spontaneous cheerfulness is deliberate, intended and persistent cheerfulness which we create,IVATE and so foster and cherish the world will never suspect that it was not a hereditary gift.-Helen Hunt Jackson. Father's Fairy Friends Out in Swarthmore, where everybody is unusually bright and clever, a little girl was asked by a visitor who is spending the summer at Strath Haven Inn if she knew anything about fairies, relates the Philadelphia Times. "Ob, indeed I do," promptly responded the little eight-year-old.

Does Away With Posing The latest craze among the Berlin smart set is having one portrait sketched or painted while asleep. The craze was started by an Austrian aristocrat, Countess Cvilick, who, according to a current story, fell asleep while waiting in the atelier of a well-known painter. The painter found the countess-so charming as she slumbered that he dre-ber in that condition. The portrait was a great success. Soft Water for Good Tea "New York water is too hard to make good tea," said the English matron. "The use of soft water is one secret of tea making that New York people seem never to have learned. Before we found that we could buy water bottled we softened the water for making tea with "inch of soda." --- The Canine Howlology There is nothing so very remarkable in the Atlantic City dog that can tell time.

The Jews in France France was the first country to extend equal rights to Jews.

However, I have strong doubts of women's ability nowadays to accom- plish the feats advised in famfly mag- zines and columns of household sug- gestions. “When 1 gazed at the old style, bat- tered furniture in our extra bedroom last spring I remembered an article Thad read on refurnisbing the home, With a can of enamel paint and a brush and a devout spirit of duty, the article sald, it was cnsy for any {ntel- gent person to transform utterly anything in the house.

Adah Banks and a Good Bill at the New Grand. This week's bill at the New Grand Theatre is exceptionally strong in comedy features. Adah Banks Davis, formerly of the Pekin stock company made her first appearance at this theatre and finally took the house by storm after she had renedered "The Song of the Soul." As the girl in white, wearing a large picture hat and carrying a white parasol with a long handle, she looked more stunning than ever. Her second song was ragtime, which she played on the piano, transferring the music to the orchestra by leaving the piano to stop off her song in ragtime. She received several encores. The Hillman Trio, which included Mr. and Mrs. Hillman and Carrie Stithe made a good showing. Mr. Hillman caught the audience at once with his clean refreshing comedy and is now seen to be perfectly at home on a large stage. Both soubrettes were good. This act replaced Chris Smith and Billy B. Johnson, who had to cancel owing to Mr. Johnson's mother be ill at Cincinnati. Of the white acts Dixon, Bowers and Dixon and Miss Anna Burt, a wire walker, made merry throughout their act, Miss Mable Elaine was a good dancer, the Eugen Trio of acrobats were good and Ruth Ade and company in "The Morning After" were all highly applauded. Dave Payton's orchestra, Tobe Brown, Frank Tate, Horace George and Miles Harris was from fair to good. Fanny Wise Charms Her Hearers at the Monogram. Wallace and Sandifer Hold Over. When Miss Fanny Wise, the "Red Moon" prima donna stepped upon the stage at the Monogram for the first time at this house there was a voicerous argument in her favor. Not only were her songs rendered with artistic perfection but her articulation in staccato was all executed with rare precision. And this exacted itself to the orchestra. Prof. Wilbur C. Swatman blended harmoniously with the clarinet. The panio accompaniment of Will Dorsey, while main in support of time regulation, was reinforced by George Reeve's elicity of variated tonal skill on drums and trappings, and it is their love of art and for their work that is making these three musicians famous. Lizzie Wallace and Joe Sandifer are doing another clever sketch this week to add to their well earned laurels. Sandifer improved in his dialogue after the first performance. Martin and Motely was a very entertaining team. Mr. Martin's comedy work was good and Miss Motely made a favorable impression. Their finale, which had original verses, made a hit. Rice and Rice, the two Germans comedians, captivated with their funny sayings to a large degree. Manager Martin Klein was favorably impressed with the opening, as people were turned away. New Illustrated Songs and Pictures at the Phoenix The Phoenix has caught the popular fancy and now gets the best class of people and all the children. The moral tone of this house is indeed encouraging. The new pictures were "Back of the Primitive" and "Always a Way." Jimmy Valentine was illustrated and sang by the popular tenor. Uncle Jackson, a young violinist, proceeds Alexander Poole as leader of the orchestra. The Era Comedy Four. Brown, Marrs, Spencer and Poole have arrived in the city from the Butterfield summer time. They have signed a blank contract for two years, and will leave for the East early in September. Billy Sweet of the two Sweets, who I claim is the best comedian I have seen who falls from the lower South, will return to the Monogram after the team finishes the present week's engagement at the Premier Theatre. Fiddler & Shelton are at the Ashland. They will open on the big time for the season at an early date. Sidney L. Perrin, Goldie Crosby and Henry Saparo, who made such a hit at the Grand Theatre recently, will hereafter be known as "The Pumpkin Colored Trio." They are booked over the Jones and O'Brien circuit and opened at Marionette, Wis., last Monday with Fon du Lac, Oshkosh and Milwaukee to follow. Behler brothers are their special representatives. The Goats gave a two nights' ramble at Motts Pekin Theatre August 19th and 20th. There was a large audience present at both performances. The bill in brief consisted of the Reese brothers in one of their old time singing, talking and acrobatic specialties. The Dahomian Trio made a hit, as usual. The four Johnsons quartet, Love and Love, who made good, Billy Watts, James Frosty Moore, an old time comedian, whose specialty proved that he is an artist, and a travesty by the Goats "Dance De Amour Avenoos" in which the Griffin sisters and others appeared to a good advantage. Chas. Small and Harry Goodman were on the door. Miss Carita Day stole into the city quietly over a week ago, to keep in hiding until after the news had leaked out that she had been recently married during her Western vaudeville over the big time. Miss Day, now Mrs. Sigismund T. Mus- senden, was ill when I called at her home on hearing of the news. After she had introduced me to her husband I sat away back in a parlor chair to look him over for the benefit of the public who have known Miss Day so long as Ernest Hogan's leading lady. He is a gallant looking young man and lit up with smiles when I asked him where he came from. With blushes like a country boy he informed me that he hailed from British Gulana, one the British colonies. He smiled again at the first pose he had ever seen of a famous critic in a big city. I had been thinking that such an interview would be a nice advertisement for Miss Day during her illness, rest and honeymoon, and I told her so. Do you know Duke Brennion? I asked. Why, no, who is he she asked in return. I said, why he's the manager of the Grand. Here Miss Day, I mean Mrs. Mussenden, laughed heartily, stating that her vaudeville season is to open in October, and she needs a rest. When I bid her good bye she told me to return for a set of her latest photographs. The Colored Vaudeville Benefolent Association of New York gave its annual entertainment at Manhattan Casino Thursday evening, August 10th. The affair was a grand financial success. Among those who appeared on the programme were James White, Sandford McKissick, John Roy, Mattie Phillips, Lizzie Roy, Annie Worles, Leon Williams, Ella Hayes, Sarah Green Byrd, Tom Fletcher, Six Musical Spillers, Lawrence Deas, Harry Reed, Bob A. Kelley, Mr. Catlin, John W. Cooper, Pete De Rose, Gillam and Williams, Harry Pramping, C. V. B. A. Band, Walter F. Craig and E. E. Thompson's orchestra and Will Vodery, who had the music in charge. J. Harry Jackson, Lester A. Walton, Tom Lemonier, Rob Slater, Geo. W, Brown, Luther Blake, Sam Cook, Scott Joplin, Wesley Hill, Frank G. Joplin, John Vaughner, Niek Spratley, Sidney Clermon, James G. Hunt, Frank Clermon, William Parquette, J. Mortimer Jones, J. Leuble Hill, Matthew Housley, Ralph Nichols, James H. Austin, James Slater, Homer Tutt, Sam Gordon, J. M. Moore, Henry Winfield, Al R. Turner, James Martin, Jas Marshall, James Stephens, R. H. Thompson, Jesse Mitchell were of the committee. --- Medellin Thompson and Julian Radcliffe, singing and talking comedians, are at the Wonderland Theatre, Madison and Haisted streets. Madam Lizzie Hart Dorsey was engaged to sing at Siegel-Cooper's during aviation week, accompanied by Buison's celebrated orchestra of New York City. Her renditions of "If I Forget" took the vast auditory by storms. * * * The La Verdo, which caters to the elite of the city is doing a splendid business. The music is all first class in every particular. Lizzie Hart, Will Ables and Bessie La Belle are the soloists. You will find the address of this cafe in our advertising columns. The Pekin Theatre will open Saturday and Sunday, August 26th and 27th, with an all-star colored vaudeville show, and judging from the list of names the show should draw out large audiences. Among the headliners will be Alonzo Moore, the great magician and illusionist, who has just returned from the Chautauqua lyceum tour and Chinese Frank Walker, the character comedian, who will be assisted by Pinkie, a clever little female stage beauty. *** MRS. VENNIE CATHRELL GETS DIVORCE. Looking as fresh as a rose a reporter of the Defender inquired of Mrs. Cattrell what was the cause when she began to tell how light hearted she was and how she was given a divorce from her husband, Clarance Cattrell, on July 28, by Attorney J. Gray Lucas. The Cattrells are originally from St. Louis. They spent but a short time in Chicago. Mrs. Cattrell is now located here and from the looks of things she bids fair to make a great success in her line. After and before leaving the court room she has never lost a day from a very responsible position she has in a big corporation in this city. The Revival of the Rekin Little by little the Pekin rises to take its place along side the other great playhouses of America; on tonight you will see the faces of a few old actors and a number of new ones who are fine, but couldn't get a chance to show themselves on other stages. The Mott's boys are carrying out their uncle's plans to the letter; even in a standard price. Look at the ad elsewhere. Character In Hand Shake Bulwer thinks a man's nature is shown by the way he shakes hands; that he may have the manners of Chesterfield, and smile very sweetly, but yet may chill or steel your heart against him the moment he shakes hands with you. But there is, he says, a cordial clasp which shows warmth of impulse, unhesitating truth, and even power of character—a clasp which recalls the classic trust in the "faith of the right hand." A Blnd Man First Newsboy—See de guy wit de smoked glasses. I 'les sold him a poiler an he gimme a nickel by mistake. He's blind. Second Newsboy—Blind nuttin', he pulled dat on me yesterday an' de nickel was no good. First Newsboy—So's dis one. De dog-gone crook, robbin' a poor newsboy. A Spartan. The negro hackman had driven them over a long and dusty road. When they reached the village hotel one of the party asked the negro if they couldn't send him out a drink, "No, sah: Ah don't drink. It's agin mah principalities." KEEP THE WORLD'S PEACE. The United States, free of entangling alliances with other great powers, powerful in point of population and natural resources, protected from successful foreign invasion by distance and great intervening seas, and at peace with all nations, are in a peculiarly favorable situation to take diplomatic lead in the effort to make the firm establishment of international peace a great international undertaking, says the Philadelphia Record. The success of The Hague tribunal in the arbitrament and final settlement of long-standing, irritating disputes, that had outlived years of ineffectual diplomatic attempts for compromise, opens the way to the adoption of still more effectual means of abolishing future wars. The steps which have been taken by our government in urging other powers to unite in endowing The Hague tribunal with the functions of an arbitral court of justice, and the further proposal, approved by Congress, to assemble an international peace commission to consider the advisability of using existing diplomatic means for bringing about an international limitation of armaments and for turning the combined fleets of the world into an international force for the preservation of universal peace, put this country in the lead in peace championship. Gustav Frenssen's "Klaus Hinrich Baas" reminds one of "David Copperfield" in its long deliberative unwinding of a life history up to middle age, and a little, too, in its general plan, with its unhappy love marriage followed by a more satisfactory union, says the London Times. But Frenssen plows deep in the field of moral and social problems, and his plot is convincing—we are not obliged to take the facts on the honor of the narrator. The hero is a peasant's son—a piece of tough, proud, full-blooded North German humanity. In one moment of bitter disillusionment he asks himself what his too great teachers, School and Church, had done for him except mislead him. They had given him fables, impossible idealisms, "two gospels, the gospel of the Savior and the gospel of Schiller, but of true, genuine knowledge of life not a vestige." How he gets this knowledge is the theme of the book; a fine and moving story which flows on in a broad stream of incident and character that gives a singularly powerful impression of the massiveness and variety of life. Some measure of comfort can be obtained in the intense heat spells which occur at intervals through the summer, by noting that even when the death toll is high, it is an exceedingly small percentage of any given total population. For instance, the twenty who succumbed in Greater New York the other day made but an infinitesimal fraction of the millions forming the population. As a matter of fact, even this mortality which does exist could be reduced by more care of individuals for themselves and more prudent attention to heat conditions. It goes to prove that nature provides endurance for unusual exactions if people are observant enough of the ordinary laws of health to develop it. A Jamestown, N. Y., alderman claims to have made an investigation which leads him to conclude that pure ice can be made for 75 cents a ton and delivered for an additional 75 cents a ton. It is needless to say that the ice companies will receive his figures coldly. A dreadnaught is a formidable object, but it affords a shining mark for a little aeroplane fitting hither and you among the clouds. In a few years, perhaps, somebody will build an aeroplane destroyer. From Honey Creek, Ia., comes the story that a bolt of lightning dug a well and found water after a farmer had tried in vain for years. Evidently Honey Creek is trying to compete with Winsted, Conn. Chicago has an Enoch Arden who came home after an absence of twelve years, tried to smash the furniture, and was fined $75. The original Enoch was by all odds the luckier of the two. A movement has sprung up to have the clocks roll off 24 hours straight, and a man may yet try to use his latch key at 22 o'clock which would be by no means unduly late. A St. Louis judge says he finds newspaper reporters as honest, and reliable as lawyers. Some of the reporters will consider it a left-handed compliment. Dr. Wiley tells us that smoking is on the decline, but he probably overlooks the fact that 26,455,684 corn cob pipes were made in Missouri last year.

Sometimes you hear one say he likes to be told his faults, and to have others tell him plainly when they don't like what he does, but don't you believe it.

To Reverse Woman. The inexplicable, inherent and ineradicable habit of women of alighting backward from a car is expected by a Colorado trolley manager to be cured by the placing of mirrors on car doors so that the fair passengers will feel impelled to face forward to see if their hat is on straight before they alight. As a device for delaying traffic this will be a conspicuous success. Pride In the Family.

WHY HE USED THE BAD WORD Little Matt Explained That the Two Pigs He Was Driving Got ithe teas Matt Perkins, engine driver on the New York Central, thought his little farm, out neat Peokskill, wouldn't be complete without pigs. So he bought @ couple and had them sent out, much to the dismay of Willle, bis oldest boy, who tearfully protested that the family would bo disgraced if thetr acquaintances found they kept pigs. But tho father was obdurate, and assigned to Matt, Jr., bis six-year-old and youngest hopeful, the task of caring for the pigs. This has proved @ hard task, and little Matt has been having his troubles during the hot ‘weather, One day the pigs, being pigs, roamed far afleld. Mattie, rounding them up, rove thom past the veranda, where ‘his mother happened to be. | Matto was talking to the pigs fn no uncer. tain torms, and It must be confessed he used a word which he really should not. Where he got it ho one knows. ‘The mother promptly called him to task, und Mattle, having penned in the pigs, returned, hot and red of face, to the veranda. “Battle,” sald bis mother, sternly, “E shall have to punish you. 1 heard you say a naughty word.” “Woll, I guess 1 did," was the lad’s penitent rejoinder, “but you see, mamma, them pigs jest got my goat.” —New York Herald. Falth In Thelr Cause. If they are thrice armed who have thetr quarrel just, then ladles' tailors must be the most righteous persons who ever invited a lawsult, for they have confidence enough In thelr own cause to employ women lawyers, At @ mecting of law school graduates ‘who have worked up a-lucrative prac: tlee, four women declared that their first clients were tailors, “A ladies’ tailor who does good work prefers a woman lawyer,” said ono. “She bas a knowledge of clothes that uo mere man can ever hope to ac: quire, and if the gown fought over is @ half-way decent plece of workman- ship she will be able to convince a judge and jury of its merits every time. Then, there fs‘something to be gained in the advertising line, always provided, of course, that the tailor 1s worthy of patronage, for the lawyer will give him an order for her own auit and recommend him to friends.” « Industry of Orchid Collecting, ile ee at oe tL ge Tet cece In tho Brazilian state of Pernambu 9 orchid collecting has developed into largo industry which affords om. »yment to many forelgners as well natives.

Such an incident {s not uncommon Birds have been known to fight ‘for hours at a time, day after day, with thelr own Image reflected In a panc of glass, pecking and fluttering agains the pane and quite exhaveting them selves tn thelr fury to demolish the supposed rival. It is another instance of how the arts of our clvilization corrupt-and confuse the birds. It fs the same with fishew. Darwin tells a story of a pike tn ax aquarium separated by plate glas: from fish which were its proper food In trying to get at the tish the pike would often dash with such violence against the glass as to be completely stunned. It did this for more than three months betoro it learned cau ton. Then when tho glass was re moved the pike would not attack those particular fishes, but would de vour others freshly fatroduced. It did not at all understand the sit uation, but associated the punishment {t had received not with the glass but with a particular kind of fish. Darwin's American monkeys proved themselves more “knowing.” When they cut themselves onco with any sharp tool they would not touch ft again or else would handle ft with the greatest caution, ‘Thus thoy gave evidence of the sim pler forms of reason of which mon keys are no doubt capable, but birds are evidently lacking In reasoning powers.—The Scotsman. WHY THEIR PARENTS DIED Applicants for Life Insurance Give Some Astonishing Information In Filling Out Blanks. Naturally applicants tor fe insur. ance may be expected to put as good @ faco as possible on the reports con: cerning relatives and the causes of their deaths, but they sometimes make rather amusing statements. Some one has collected a fow of these which were originally published in tho Brit {sh Medical Journal: “Mother died in Infancy." “Father went to bed feeling well and tho next morning woke up dead.” “Grandfather died suddenly at the age of ono hun. dred and three. Up to this time he bid fair to reach a ripe old age.” “Ap. piicant does not know cause of mother’s death, but states that she fully recovered trom her tast fllness.” “Applicant has never been fatally sick.” “Applicant's brother, who was an Infant, died when he was a mere child.” “Grandfather dled from gun- shot wound caused by an atrow shot by an Indian." “Applicant's fraternal Parents died when be was a child.” “Mothor’s last illness was caused from chronic rheumatism, but she was cured before death.” “Father died auddenly; nothing serlous.’—Journal of the American Medical Association.

PAUL AS BASEBALL FAN Would Be Enthusiastic Rooter and At. tend All Games, Declares Rev. ‘Dr. Young of Brooklyn. ‘One Sunday in each year is devoted by Bedford Presbyterian church of Brooklyn to a sermon on baseball. ‘The services are held under the aus- pices of the New York league of ¥_,M. ©, A baseball teams. This year's serv. ice was held recently and the sermon ‘was delivered by the Rey. Dr. Bdward Young. He told his hearers that St. Paul, {f preaching In America this ‘summer, Would undoubtedly be an en: thuslastic fan and would attend the games, “Paul was an enthuslastle -sports. man," the preacher said. “So close ‘was his friendship with the presiding officers at the great games of west- orn Asia as to excite their very active solicitnde tn his behalf when Paul seemed in danger—so records the Book of Acts.

They started a double steal, Jennings as he passed Long, hit him and Long tripped hia, after which Jennings went on and jumped into Collins. ‘Tehney tried to hold McGraw, but he broke away, reached second and Kddked the hall out of Lowe's hands. Stentel'swung his bat and hit Robfn- son on the hand trying to keep him from throwing. Robby tripped me and poked me in the back, to Keep mo from seeiug and Stenzel spiked my foot.” “How did you dacide it?” was asked, “I called {t a foul ball, sent the runners back and kicked Stengel on the shins,” said Tim, Why Cleveland Don’t Win. ‘Hughey Jennings explains the mys- tery of the Cleveland club's failure to win more gumes with such heavy ar- tllery as the team has to support the Pitchers. Hugbey the observant says: “Cleveland doesn’t know how to score runs when it gets the chance.

"What's the cause of all this woe?" asked her friend Polly, sympathetically. "Tell me about it." "That's the reason I rushed over before breakfast," said Marjory. "If I didn't confess to some one I would die. Such a load on my conscience." "Oh, a case of guilty conscience. How many hearts has the heartless coquette broken this week?" asked Polly. "Worse than that, Polly, I've killed a man." "Heavens!" screamed her friend. "What do you mean? Explain." "Well, I haven't exactly killed him outright, but the doctor says he is in a critical condition." "Who is he? Come to the point and don't keep me in suspense." "Well, since I've lived at this boarding house I've been kind of lonesome like, so yesterday Jane Darwin came over and stayed all night with me. "About four in the morning. I was awakened by strange noises in the hall. I shook sleeping Jane into consciousness and whispered 'burglar!' We both sat erect in bed, breathless and listened. "We shall be murdered in cold blood, groaned Jane, while I, with my usual impulsiveness, jumped out of bed, grabbed the alarm clock and flung it through the transom, smashing the glass in a thousand pieces. "And you nearly killed the burglar?" gnashed Polly. "No, if he had been a really, truly robber I wouldn't have cared; such a deed would have been heroic. But there was no burglar. My alarm clock hit a perfectly innocent fellow boarder who was doing nothing more than entering his room, which unfortunately happened to be next to mine. "He had no business to stay out until four in the morning. It served him right," stated Polly. "He was returning from a business trip, a new boarder. The room had been vacant so long I completely forgot it belonged on the map of Mrs. Persimmon's select boarding house. "Well, he happened to be a handsome, broad-shouldered, splendid young man. And, oh, Polly! that horrible alarm clock hit him square on the head and knocked him senseless." "I guess it knocked the clock senseless, too, for its alarm started to go off and I think it's going yet. "The noise of his fall, the ring of the clock and my screams brought the 40 boarders rushing to the scene of disaster." "And their negligee costumes were positively indecent. If it weren't tragic it would have been excruciatingly funny to see old Mrs. Topsys with her wig in her mouth and holding her false teeth to her head. "They carried the poor man to his bed, called the doctor, and here I am id almost frantic. "Suppose he I die? / So good looking, too." You poor dear," said Polly. "I can imagine your anxiety, but brace up, I now he will soon recover and forgive on your unwarranted attack of assault and battery." About four weeks later Polly said o Marjory: "By the way, how is our burglar friend?" "He's just splendid," answered Marjory sparkling with enthusiasm. "Then his head was not seriously injured?" "No, his head is better, but—but he claims the blow affected his—his—heart." "Marjory Morton, you are blushingiously. What does it mean?" "When Chester—I mean Mr. Ford, convalescing I felt it my duty to him while away the tedious hours, that it was all my fault. Living the same roof naturally we saw bit of each other—see? I was sorry for him. He was cause I was sorry, and—well—you know—I guess you un- Marjory; how romantic. I'm, and it's all on account of 1 clock." Chester says he's going to at alarm clock for a watch after this," laughed Marjory.

It has come now to mean a drink prepared with an emulsion of almonds, and is slightly medicinal as well as refreshing on a hot day. It is said to be good for hay fever, among other things. To prepare it, boil two quarts of milk with a stick of cinnamon, remove the spice and let the milk cool. Blanch four ounces of sweet almonds, and when they are cold pound them in a mortar with a little rosewater and enough orange flower water to form a paste. Sweeten the milk and boll the almond paste in it for a few moments—not too long, or the paste will be oily. Strain the beverage through a fine sieve so that it will be smooth in quality. Serve it with ice the day it is made. Judgment by Reduction Judgment by Deduction. Widow-I want a stone for my husband's grave exactly like the other one in the lot.

MARVELOUS TREE CURIOSITY Back of British Post Office at Nassau, Bahama Islands, a Sight for Tourists. Nassau, B. I.-A tree which in its very conformation seems to show a struggle between two monsters—one of the land against one of the sea—is the ceiba or silk cotton tree of Nassau, a splendid example of the peculiar form which trees of this family are inclined to take. In the Nassau tree the illusion of a battle royal has brought thousands of travelers to see the strange tree but more are also interested in its great length of history. In 1802 a traveler sketched the tree while sojourning here in the Bahamas. It was a good sketch and Bahama Tree Curiosity. on comparison now shows that the great coiba tree has not changed, save in podding each year. In all that length of time. Scientists deduce that the tree is nearly one thousand years old. It stands just at the back of the British post office in Nassau—its great top outspreading like a huge umbrella with branches soaring as far as 100 feet from the main stem. The trunk is of huge girth and it is this with the interwinding of branches above that gives the idea of a combat. But the giant roots of the celba are its most distinctive feature. Diverging from the main stem long before they strike into the ground, they form such buttresses as to make the celba seem a regular citadel of almost unassailable strength. From the pods on the tree a sticky, silk-like substance is obtained once a year and used for the stuffing of cushions. Natives of the islands say the same tree had served their ancestors with clothing from its pods since the earliest legends of the island. THE GRAVE OF JOSH BILLINGS Remains of the Quaint Hummorous Writer and Lecturer Rest. Near Ganesborough, Mass. Ganesborough, Mass.—Henry Wheeler Shaw, whose pen name was "Josh Billings," was born at Ganesborough, Mass., and died at Monterey, Cal., 1885. Starting at the age of fifteen in search of fortune, he led an unsettled life for several years. He tried farming, running a steamboat on the Ohio, store keeping and teaching, but was unsuccessful in all of them. He drifted back east and settled in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., 1858, as an auctioneer. His contributions to the newspapers, under the pen name "Josh Billings," brought him liberal returns. His writings are characterized by a quaint shrewdness, and a humorous element intensified by the crude phonetic spelling which he adopted. He lectured throughout the country, and in add- Tomb of Humorist. tion to his sketches, issued in four volumes, published an annual almanac. After his death his remains were brought to Ganesborough, the town of his nativity. Close to the highway in the little old graveyard he awaits the last roll call. One of his quaint saying was: "Riz arly, work hard an' late, sell what you kant use, giv nothing awa, an' if you don't die ritch an' go tu the devil, yu kan sue me for damages." TOURIST GAVE AWAY HIS AUTO Became Angry When His Car Ran Into a Ditch and Gave It to a Small Boy. Hammond, Ind.—"Take the blamed machine and welcome," snapped a New Your tourist as he crawled from under his automobile in front of the home of Cecil Hancock, near here. The man was on his way to Chicago, Ill., from New York city when the knuckle in the steering gear broke and sent the car up-side-down into the ditch. In addition to paying the boy who hauled him to the nearest railroad station he gave the lad the car, valued at $2,000 and in good condition save for some scratches and twisted irons as the result of the accident. The tourist refused to give his name but the car bears the tag No. 8605, New York. When the lad's father learned of his son's good fortune he sold the car to a dealer and will apply the money toward giving his son a college education. Canned Hymns at Funeral. Carver, Mass.-Singing by phonograph at a funeral is the latest here. At the funeral of Ralph U. Graffam a record containing one of the old-fashioned church hymns was started on the machine. After prayers others were given, the record reproducing other favorite hymns sung at services over the dead. It was favorably commented on as a practical substitute for the usual quartette. STRUNK WAS THE GOAT BACHELOR NO LONGER IS AID OF MARRIED FRIENDS. He Finds That for Years Their Wives Have Been Taught to Blame Him for Leading Husbands Astray. A bachelor living just off Times square, New York—who shall be called Strunk for anonymity's sake—has been cured of certain ideas he had of doing favors for wives of husbands afflicted with too much of what is often called good-fellowship. He has long been noted among his friends for his propensity to take care of married friends when in their cups and see that they got home safely and at a reasonable hour. It was one of these friends—Banks for anonymity—whom he encountered in Times square recently. Banks had evidently cast off responsibility and Strunk was immediately solicitous. He had seen Mrs. Banks and had admired her as a woman of beauty and refinement. His solicitations, however, were met with the rollicking: "My wife's in the country. Don't you care." Nevertheless, Strunk, as was his habit, did care. He invigilated the waiter at a cafe to serve an antidote for liquor as a substitute for a rickey and then had black coffee brought forward. By the early hour of 11 o'clock responsibility was again beginning to perch on the shoulders of Banks. Suddenly he started. "What day this?" he asked. "Thursday," answered Strunk. "Gee-whillkens," gasped Banks, "I forgot. My wife was to get in on the nine o'clock train and I was to meet her." "Well, I guess she's home all right," said Strunk comfortably. "Home?" gasped Banks. "The house is boarded up and I've got the keys and her folks are all out of town." Strunk was a man of action. He called for a taxicab and they were soon driving along a street, in the West Eighties. In the block he saw several parties still out on stoops. As the chauffeur finally slowed up Strunk saw another stoop party, a woman guarding two children. Banks alighted and insisted that Strunk also should do so and meet his family. As he went up the steps he said ingrastatingly: "My dear, I want you to meet Mr. Strunk." "Mrs. Banks was really refined, freetingly so. "I have heard of Mr. Strunk," was all she said, looking at anything but at him. Banks fished out his keys and gave them to har and she entered the house. Then Banks laughed hysterically. Strunk failed to see any cause for merriment and said so. "You're the goat," Banks finally puffed out. "I've been telling her for years that you're the one that gets me off the wagon—and now she's sure of it, and she'll be mad at you, not me." Strunk in the taxicab on his way back hardened his heart. Very Practical Arithmetic. Mental arithmetic on a melting day—and while the cool river gleamed tantalizingly from the schoolroom window! No wonder that small minds grew confused under the strain, and small calculators calculated with even smaller success. "Now, boys," said the jovial dominie, who was himself aching for a swim, "here's your last problem today. See if any of you can get it right. Suppose I have a piece of beefsteak." The boys supposed it obediently. "And suppose I cut it into sixteen parts. What would you call those pieces?" "Slitteenth's!" piped a dozen voices. "Right!" exclaimed the dominie, "And uppose each of these pieces were cut again into four pieces, what would they be?" A dead, awful silence reigned, while the small brains worked desperately. Suddenly a hand was held up, and one of the lightning calculators cried: "Hurri!" A. Barefoot Effect Hermione proudly displayed her new rock to the visitor. "Arm footed," she said, holding up her plump, bare arms. The puzzled guest looked at Hermione's mother for explanation. "She means bare armed," explained the mother. "It was a great event when she was allowed one day to go around the house bare footed and it made a tremendous impression on her, but, as you see, she got her words inverted. Since that day to be in some manner 'footed' has been her heart's desire. Sometimes she is allowed to go 'head footed', then again, as today, she is 'arm-footed', and so on. I have tried to get her to understand 'bare headed' and 'bare armed', but those combinations seem to have no meaning to her." The visitor touched the small, white shoulder. "What's this, Hermione?" she asked. "Neck footed," was the prompt reply. The Shakespeare-Bacon controversy formed the subject of debate at a well known theatrical school not long ago. On both sides the orators would be actresses, and pro and con the discussion was feminine and furious. It seemed at first that the ardent partisanship of the fair opponents would preclude the possibility of harmonious conduction; but the last speaker, in the nervousness of her first public speech, suggested common ground. "Ladies," she said, speaking rapidly, "I think there has been much misapprehension as to the real truth of the Baconian theory. I stand ready to show that the great plays we know so well were written not by Shakespeare or by Bacon, but by Bacon and Shakespeare in collision!" Amid laughter and applause the debate The Reverse Order. "There is one singular thing in what might be called moral reverses." "When who deal in crooked ways are apt to be in straightened circumstances."

CYNIC REACHES THE ALTAR There the Bride Consents to Take Him, Just as He Was Afraid She Would. Price is really quite an ordinary, primitive sort of person at heart, but he has a reputation among us for unconventional ideas and a decadent point of view. He referred to his engagement as "this regrettable entanglement," and, when he asked me to be his best man he took care to write that "a lady having proposed marriage to him and having shown no signs of relenting, he supposed it was up to him to go through the solemn force of giving his formal consent to her autocratic design." I agreed willingly, for we all felt that Price, when he was married, would have to give up saying that sort of thing, and, therefore, one of us ought to be near by to take a note of his last utterance. The great day came and the bride in her white Jie-ne-sauls-quo looked charming, the bridegroom pale, but prepared, and the parson much as usual. With the help of a little stage management from a discreet curate we succeeded, at the appointed time, in being at the chancel steps; the bride's father, the bride, Price and myself, in the customary formation. "Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife?" asked the parson of Price, and I thought for a second that he was going to seize his opportunity and make his great remark then. But no; he merely, as he would have himself described it, politely acquiesced. "Wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband!" asked the parson of the bride. "I will," said she.

Lexington, Mo., August 25.—A large crowd attended the annual picnic last Tuesday night given at the residence of Mr. Henry Calley in the interest of Zlon Chapel A. M. E. church. Music was furnished by the union band of Lexington. Everybody enjoyed themselves to the very highest. Visitor. Mrs. Maggie Rogers of Seattle, Wash., is in our city visiting her mother and Joseph Meyers and friends. We hope the young people will make everything pleasant for her during her stay in our city. Mrs. Rogers is looking well and it has been quite a long time since she has been in our city. She will probably remain in the city for two months. Everybody welcomes her to our city, especially her many young friends. The district conference of St. John's M. E. church was held in our city last week. A large number of delegates and ministers from surrounding cities and towns attended the meetings. As to what kind of business they transacted it has not been reported to this office as the Lexington people never think of reporting anything that is of interest to the race. Mrs. Nannle Hicks returned to her home in Lexington Friday evening after spending a few weeks in Chanute, Kans., on business. He Spoke of South Africa. Friday night, August 18, at the St. John's M. E. church one of our most prominent ministers spoke on the subject concerning South Africa to its people. He spoke of the different tribes, animals, things that grow there and many other different things which I haven't time to mention. He also stated, that South Africa was larger and has more people than three United States together and their people were the most virtuous beings there is the face of the earth, etc. They ve a very peculiar way of dressing doing business and worshiping gods. Some worship the sun and stars, etc. One tribe can understand the other by the difkinds of language they use, Greek and Latin. The speak some of the educated Afr- ```markdown ``` Visitor.

The educated class of people in South Africa are more virtuous than the educated class of the United States and does not act as heathens, like many of our people of this country. The speaker also spoke of meeting some of our old time bishops in Africa from the A. M. E. churches. Work is now being done in South Africa by the Negro bishops and ministers. All kinds of different things are to be found in Africa, such as gold, diamonds, etc. The speaker held the large audience's attention from start to finish with joy, cheers and laughter, the house being packed to its fullest capacity. Everybody went home well pleased and hope some day that Africa will be a power to the entire world. Let the good work go on. The speaker spoke concerning South Africa while the other parly assisted the choir in singing. After speaking a collection was taken up for the benefit of the George I. Smith college of Sedalia, Mo. It is said the collection amounted to $53. Give the Negro race a fair chance and we will solve our own problem. All we ask is fair play, honest treatment, and we will fight our own battles. One of the very old women was heard to say, "I thank God that I am a Negro as it is the best, most independent race on earth. God says, the first shall be last and the last shall be first. It is true the Negro race is coming to the front too fast. That's the reason the other races are trying their level best to keep us down, but as sure as God is for us he is more than all the world against us." The Allstars of Lexington, under the management of E. Walker, played the Lexington Giants at Riverside park Thursday to a score of 7 to 9 in favor of the Giants. The second game was played Sunday, August 20. No Sunday games from Lexington will be published in this paper as Editor Arnold is not in favor of it and doesn't think it is right according to the ten commandments of God. Read the fourth commandment: "Remember the Sabbath bath and keep it holy; six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work," etc. The boys should have some respect for Sunday as most of them were trained and raised in our Sunday schools, but they have now taken a bad step. This won't do, boys, this Sunday baseball business should be stopped, as there are six long days in the week to play ball. How many of our church members attended the game last Sunday? No answer given. Annual Conference On the third Sunday in September our beloved pastor, Rev. J. H. Allen of Zion Chapel A. M. E. church, will deliver his farewell sermon and then go to the annual conference. All members and friends of Zion chapel are requested to pay $1 or as much as possible.

By Staff It was early on last Tuesday morning our reporter wanted something to do and could not think what to get at. By this time he had reached the office of the Y. M. C. A. "Ah, I have it!" said he. "I am going to see which side of town has the most money and which side keeps their words." So he dropped in and asked the young man in charge to let him see the income tariff sheet. "Why," he said, "that is private and of course, if I am not mistaken, you are a newspaper man. Are you not?" Of course I was forced to acknowledge, but I said, "Why, we only want to make a comparison, in a general way, to see which side of town paid in the most of their pledges up to date." Well, he gave me leave to look but would not let me write, and I looked at that long list of names and I could see after the "paids" the addresses La Salle, Armour, Dearborn and even dear old State street. Then a general conversation was indulged in as to the building and its various advantages and we found that it would contain: Five stories and fireproof. One hundred sleeping rooms. Bowling alleys. Billiard and pool room. Industrial class room. Club room for boys. Club room for young men. ```markdown ``` --- Sept. 17, and assist us in our great rally. Future announcements will be made later. Watch the Defender. Sunday Services. Three powerful sermons, were delivered Sunday, two at Zion chapel, one at 3 p. m., at which time the holy communion was celebrated at the St. John's M. E. church. Such a wonderful and glorious meeting we had which shall never be forgotten. Father Grundy Lee is said to be lying low at his home in east old town at this writing and may never be able to get up again. His many friends are very sorry to hear of him being in such a critical condition and wish him a speedy recovery. MAYVIEW, MO., SOCIETY AND A WORD FROM NEARBY TOWNS. Miss E. Johnson.

The object of this series of sermons is to prepare the Christians on the north side for a larger mission, and a greater and more useful work. An illustrated sermon will be given Sunday night; life size views with dissolving effect, with illustrated songs; this will be a most inspiring service and all who enjoy the helpful as well as the instructive service should attend this special service Sunday evening, August 27.

On last Tuesday the Forum had the largest attendance it has ever had. Although the main speaker, Mr. J. R Harmon, disappointed his audience. The journal read by Mr. W. J. Burdine was very interesting and provoked much helpful and enthusiastic discussion; this with the other numbers on the program gave the Forum a very pleasant and profitable evening. The social hour was spent to the delight of all present. Many of the strangers in the city were delighted with the opportunity to meet old friends.

Zion Baptist church will give a joint dinner Labor day and a concert in the evening. Second Baptist Church The North Wood River Baptist Association held a splendid session with the Mt. Olivet Baptist church, Jollet, Ill. If we may trust the signs of the times we may expect a great session of said association next year. The session for 1912 will be held with a great church (Bethesda) and in a great city (Chicago). The Mt. Olivet Baptist church, led by its able pastor, Dr. J. M. Mason, handled the association with ease and with success. The church is about two years old and is now in its own property, conveniently located on one of the prominent streets of the "Rocky City." It is reported by the members of the Second Baptist church that Brother Pleasant preached two interesting sermons on last Sunday. No report more pleasing could have reached the pastor's ears. If Christians would only pray more and trust God for what they want they would enjoy greater blessings from God. Mrs. Gayles and the children ate their Sunday dinner with Deacon and Sister Sanders. The Missionary Society held a splendid session last Monday evening. Including visitors more than 30 were present. Deacon C. Cullus was appointed chairman of the program committee for the next entertainment. Sister H. Chiles was made "chairwoman" of the refreshment committee and Sister F.

The infamous Captain Morgan and his piratical crew were sometimes in tight places at Panama, and on one occasion were reduced to eating their leather bags. "Some persons," says one of the company, Exquemelin (whose narrative is reproduced in "The Succaneers in the West Indies"),"who never were out of their mothers' kitchens may ask how these pirates could eat, swallow and digest these pieces of leather, so hard and dry. Unto whom I only answer: That could they once experiment with hunger, or, rather, famine is, they would certainly find the manner, by their own necessity, as the pirates did. For these first took the leather and sliced it in pieces. Then did they heat it between two stones and rub it, often dipping it in the water of the river, to render it by these means supple and tender. Lastly, they scraped off the hair, and roasted or broiled it upon the fire. And being thus cooked they cut it into small morsels and ate it, helping it down with frequent gulps of water, which by good fortune they had right at hand." Know Hla Business A negro, having won a dollar at a crap game, decided to spend it on having his fortune told. The fortune teller led him into a gloomy room with dirty hangings and misty red lights. She took his palm, traced it with a dollar, spread out her cards, and then said: "You are very fond of music; you like chicken; you have won money at craps; and you have been in jail." The negro looked at her with bulging eyes and finally ejaculated: "Mah goodness, lady; why you jest read mah inmost thoughts!" Searchlights Prove of Value The high power electric searchlights with which vessels are equipped on the Great Lakes prove most useful in the early spring nights when the water is covered with a partially broken ice field. By means of the light openings are located, thus often saving many hours. Need Generous Atmosphere The more freely sympathy and affection are extended, and the more gladly they are, welcomed, the more they bless mankind. Their very life depends upon a generous atmosphere of both giving and taking. Coldness, reserve, auspicion, pride, kill them as the biting frost kills them tender plants.

It conjures up memories of things unforgettable; the austere abnegations of our forefathers, the social triumphs of peers and the homely pleasures of domestic joys. There is a cheerful glow, a coziness, a warmth that radiates from the tea table which melts all formality. Reticent lips bloom into speech and diffident hearts become expansive. The informality of gathering about the little table, expectantly watching the preparation of the tea, the steady glow of the tiny flame in the alcohol lamp, the humming of the kettle is all very delightful in its simplicity, and this attractive means of entertaining is within the reach of every woman, no matter how simple her circumstances. The tea table is a necessary adjunct to every bachelor mald's apartments, whether she be a wage-earner or a woman of large social interests, and it becomes necessary that she seek recreation and relaxation from her labors, and what is more delightful than to have one's friends drop in during a leisure hour at sunset and be refreshed by the sympathetic understanding of kindred spirits? Your friends soon grow to know that at a certain hour they will find a blessed respite, a charmed peace at your fireside, and they will be only too glad to seek you, provided you have the love for and instincts of a responsive hostess. If a silver tea service is beyond your means, tea kettle, caddy and service bowl of brass are just as effective and more decorative. A low tahoret supporting a large, round, oriental tray of hammered brass, looks stunning beside an open fire, whose flickering flame reflects the beautiful lights from brass and copper. I shall never forget, upon entering a room, the effect of a large brass bowl filled to overflowing with the rich hues of nasturtiums, burnished by the hot rays of the sun. It almost took my breath away, it was so riotous in color. Such a touch of the blazer in a low-toned room is most beautifully startling. A muffin-stand beside the tea table is a great convenience to the hostess, for the guests may help themselves without requiring the extra service of passing food from one individual to another. The three shelves of the stand may each contain a plate of different daltales. Simple bread and butter, crass and lettuce sandwiches, little cakes and cookies or toasted muffins and crumpets are all appropriate and light enough to serve with tea.—New York Press. SIMPLE, BUT ATTRACTIVE THE WORLD'S FASHION This pretty waist is of pale green glace moussine de soie, shirred on cords at the bottom to form a girdle ornamented with a rosette made in the same way. The little yoke and the sleeve trimmings are of gold lace, and the cravat is of gold cord. Pretty Things in Jewelry. Jewelled watches are a toy of the moment. The best of these, thin as a leaf, are enameled, often in pale pink or pale green, with either one big diamond in the center or else surrounded by small diamonds. The smart watch of today has a chain attached and is worn on the neck as a pendant. The face of the watch is, of course, at the back of the ornament. And some of these dainty toys are first-rate timekeepers. A gold bag is another useful possession. Many of the new bags are in gold in different shades of color; while others are in gold and platinum to give the effect of a striped material. To Wash Silk Stockings It is something of a puzzle how to wash silk stockings successfully, but the following method has been used with satisfactory results: Make soap-suds of lukewarm water and a goo-grade of castle soap. Do not use he water as it destroys the life of the silk. Insease in clear, cold water unit. free from all soap, then pull the stockings lengthwise and press with a warm iron, never a hot one. They will be as glossy as when new. HATPINS AND WOMEN. American efforts to regulate the length of women's hatpins, in order to lessen the danger therefrom, are the extreme of mildness when compared with the drastic measures adopted by the railway administration of Saarbrücken, Germany. In this country numerous municipal bodies have discussed the hatpin question, and a few have fixed upon a certain number of inches as the length to which women could lafully go in the wearing of hat fasteners, says the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. So far as known, however, there has never been an attempt to enforce such an ordinance—probably for the reason that American women are considered able to regulate such matters for themselves. It remained for the aforesaid German railway administration to prescribe a desperate remedy for what seems to be regarded over there as a desperate disease—if the following of a fashion can be termed a disease. The railway officials of Saarbrücken have received their orders as to how they must act when they are confronted by a woman wearing a hatpin of the prohibited length. She must be requested to remove it, and if she refuses to do so she is to be prevented from travelling by train and told to leave the station, further refusal to obey making her subject to imposition of a fine. Thus it is made manifest that Germans are bold where Americans are timorous. The other day a man was arrested and fined for using disrespectful language to a policeman, thereby interfering with him in the discharge of his duty. It is strange that there should be men who think they can do that with impunity, says the Chicago Tribune. One may be guilty of bigamy, or run a trust, or be a steady grafter, and yet escape punishment, but the consequences of reviling a policeman are inevitable. So, when there are so many crimes to pick from, no intelligent man should select this. A policeman on his beat is greater than a major general or than a teamster in his pride of place. If the president of the United States should be ordered by a policeman to "move on," it would be his duty to obey, saying, perhaps, as he moved on, "excuse me, officer." That being the case, how improper it is for a commonplace, mediocre citizen who does not relish some reply an officer has made, or some order he has given, to call him a fool, or words to that effect. He invites an unpleasant last act of the play—a trip to the station, an interview with the desk sergeant, a cell, a fine, unpleasant publicity. It 15 fallacy to suppose that the restriction of racetracks in the crusade against poolroom gambling has put an end to the career of the thoroughbred horse, says the Washington Herald. There still remains an undiminished demand for hunters, and if the gambling evil can be eliminated it is more than likely that racing may be revived for sport's sake. Then there continues to be the acquisition of cavalry horses by the government, which in itself offers a remunerative field for the horse breeder. Nor has the automobile put out of business the draft and work horse of trade and commerce. It will be a long while before the necessity for horses will cease, and if market prices are any criterion to judge by, the demand is greater than the present supply. A Pennsylvania pastor, getting $30 a month salary, has been ordered to pay his wife $8 monthly alimony. How true it is that "To him that hath shall be given, and from him that hath not even that which he hath shall be taken away." A New York judge has ruled that ten days should be the limit of a mother-in-law's stay in the house of her son-in-law. The judge has not presented a formula for the enforcement of its decision. A woman in Pennsylvania got two licenses simultaneously—one to get married and one to teach. This was a wise provision, as in case one failed there was the other to fall back on. The finding of so many old masters in curiosity shops and out of the way places suggests that the modern artist has found a way of eking out a livelihood at last. Several people have been drowned during the past few days owing to the fact that their boats were upset by big fish that had been hooked. All the fish got away. According to a German expert, American women do not know how to pose before a camera. Even at that they get some fine results. Chicagoans are said to eat 350,000-000 pickles a year. It seems likely that the teeth of future generations will be set on edge. Some people believe implicitly in the prophecies of the katydid who refuse to believe the weather man. ```markdown ``` DONS WIFE'S SKIRT Young Soldier Tires at Being Removed From Bride. Disguises Himself In Female Garments and Successfully Makes His Escape From United States Army Transport. San Francisco—Here's a romance of the army transport service in which there are neither swords nor shoulder straps. It is a strictly proper story in spite of the fact that at the critical point the hero takes refuge in the herpine's skirts, during the absence, of course, of the heroe. On the records of the transport Sheridan, which arrived here the other day from Manila, the hero is described as "C. R. Taleriof, discharged soldier." After each name is this note, "Left ship at Nagasaki." The Talerios were married in Manila just before the man received his discharge from the army. They applied for transportation home on the Sheridan, and the best that an unromantic Uncle Sam could do for them was to provide Mrs. Talerife with cabin accommodation and her husband with a bunk in the steerage. Although out of the army, he was still an enlisted man for the purpose of transportation, and as such was barred from accommodation anywhere but on the troop deck. Now, a honeymoon cruise is not much fun where the billing and cooing have to be done in accents loud enough to reach from the troop deck to the promenade deck, and in full view of an observing regiment of cavalry. By the time the Sheridan reached Nagasaki the Talerife came to the conclusion that honeymooning under such conditions were what Sherman said war was and they decided to leave the ship and go home by liner. They were confronted, however, by another military bar to happiness. Although Mrs. Talerlo, as a cabin passenger, was at liberty to go ashore, this privilege was denied the enlisted man, with whom her husband was classed, and armed sentries were posted at strategic points to see that the soldiers stayed on board. Now comes the skirt act. In the confusion of arrivals at the Japanese port Talerlo managed to make his way unnoticed to his wife's stateroom. When he came out his legs were draped in his wife's best skirt, his wife's cloak was around his shoulders and on his head a big picture hat formed a screen from which fell the heavy veil that hid his face. Out on deck he tripped and down the gangway to a waiting sampan. One of the sentries assisted him into the sampan and when Mrs. Talerlo went down the ladder behind her disguised husband she heard the sentry remark, as he pointed to the figure in the picture hat: "She has a hand like a ham." The Talerifos went to the best hotel in Negasaki and engaged the bridal suite on the Japanese liner Nippon Maru. AEROPLANE BOWLS OVER COW Low Flying Machine Strikes Rossy, Spills Aviator and Sails Two Miles Without Pilot. Los Angeles, Cal.-Eryle Williams, who is trying for a license as an air pilot, struck a cow while sailing a Curtis biplane the other afternoon, and was hurled to the ground by the shock, while the machine went careening along a distance of two miles without a pilot. Williams was flying about ten feet above the ground. Suddenly, as he passed over the brow of a hill, he came upon bossy, grazing peacefully. Some part of the machine struck her, knocking her several feet and turning her over and over. William stumbled from his seat, but was unhurt. The machine was finally halted by a friendly hay stack which received its weared wings in a soft embrace. The embrace lasted until friends of Williams in an auto reached the machine and stopped the propeller, which was still buzzing. Catch Giantic Sail Fish Parls.—A huge sail fish, a fish rarely met with in the Atlantic, has been captured by fishermen of Corcarnaeur and towed to that port. The fish measures eight yards long and four yards in circumference and weighs four tons. The fishermen are greatly disturbed over the presence in the vicinity of the fish's female companion, who followed her captured lord throughout the whole of the night he was being towed to port. Balloon Drops Amid Elsh. Berlin.—A dangerous but successful balloon landing is reported from Altoona, where the aeronaut, Wilson, fearing that his balloon would be driven by an adverse wind into the River Elbe, which is very broad at Altoona, elected to come down in the middle of the city. He pulled the ripcord when the balloon was above the city fishmarket, coming down successfully and safely amid the fish dealers in the uncovered square. Man 8 Feet: 1 Inch Tall. Bridgeport, Conn.-The tallest citizen ever naturalized in New England has obtained his final papers. He is Capt. George Auger, 8 feet 1 inch tall, a native of Cardiff, Wales, and formerly London policeman. He has a farm near Firsfield, Conn. ACOMPLETE FUNERAL FO R $65.00. E. JACKSON.
