Another speaker on the program was Mr. Henry Neil of the league. He also stated that 1,000 Negroes are now employed at the bridewell at labor that is unproductive. The ten per cent of prisoners (colored) who are so unfortunate as to be confined in the bridewell leaves a margin of ninety per cent classified as white prisoners. Judging from the opportunities to the whites that is indeed a conclusion that reflects no honor on the white man, namely, with all avenues of work open to him he still bears the stigma of having a ninety per cent representation in the bridewell. Judge Dicker is brave in the face of so much prejudice when he commends the more than worthy Negro for his determined stand against evil. So the many presses that set forth in letters that glare some misdeed of the Negro would do well to look to his own laurels and place before the public as did the Judge the large percentage of good points in the Negro's character. come early. Light refreshments will be served after the program. We regret to learn of the illness of our matron, Mrs. Hardiman, but hope she will soon be able to be out again. She will take a two weeks' rest. The home will look after her duties until she returns. Mrs. E. L. Davis has also been confined to her home the past two weeks with a sprained ankle. We miss her very much but hope she will soon be with us again. We always need her helpful words and hearty co-operation in everything that interests the "Home." She is a tireless worker. The dinner served at the "Home" under the management of Mrs. Davis was a success in every way and goes to prove that a restaurant in that place would be an excellent thing. The money was turned over to the house committee to purchase necessary articles for the "Home." We thank all those friends who patronized the dinner. Our annual reception will be on Oct. 13 at the residence of Mrs. E. L. Davis, 3226 Prairie avenue. All our friends and well wishers are invited to attend, and register their names with their offering. As usual, this money is used for our winter fuel for the home, 3330 Forest avenue. If you are a friend you will not stay away, even though an invitation should fail to reach you. You have a standing invitation. A special program will be arranged for afternoon and evening. The Dunbar Memorial Sanatorium association has opened its general headquarters in a neatly furnished office at 3856 State street. Much encouragement is being given those interested in carrying on the work. Extensive plans are being mapped out by Dr. Anna B. Cooper, who is fostering the movement. A bureau of research will be the first consideration. Physicians and nurses are to assist in gathering statistics and data especially in the congested districts. Every organization should heartily cooperate with this movement for the betterment of conditions, especially among our people.—Dr. Anna Cooper, president. THE BEAN EATERS NEXT WEEK. Watch for the cartoon of the Bean Eaters, who have consented to work for the Defender. The editor was successful in securing their signatures to a cast-iron contract; they will positively appear. Tell your friends about the Guess Who Bean Eaters, introduced by our cartoonist, Mr. Fon Holly. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` It's an "ill wind that blows nobody good." So is the talk of Judge Dleker, presiding over the Harrison street court. In part, the judge's talk was as follows "I have reached the conclusion that the Negroes are less to blame than are the conditions which surround them. It speaks well for the Negroes of Chicago that so many lead honest lives in the face of hardships and temptation. In the months when work is source Negroes have a harder time than any other members of the working class because they are barred absolutely from so many kinds of employment open to the white workers. This condition costs the taxpayers of Cook county more than $100,000 a year directly. Ten per cent of the prisoners at the bridewell are Negroes and the maintenance of this number of prisoners is an expense of large proportions." In the main one can readily understand that Judge Dicker had the interests of taxpayers at heart but, as has been before quoted concerning the ill wind, we find the good it has blown touches the Negro. The Judge stated many truths in his talk before the probation league and has shown himself a man to be considered in all local movements. And though it was THE WESTERN LIFE SETS A HIGH PACE FOR ALL OTHER INSURANCE COMPANIES. Appoints Charles A. Griffin as One of Its General Agents and Also Several Prominent Physicians as Medical Examiners. This week-brings the news that Mr. J. L. Mitchell, general agency manager of the Western Life Indemnity Co., and one of the foremost insurance men of America today, has decided to establish a general agency on the south side for his company, to be managed and operated by colored men. After conferring with several prominent Chicagoans concerning the matter, it was agreed that the venture must be made. Mr. Mitchell (white) is a firm believer in the ability of colored men and he is also cognizant of the fact that the respectable colored men and women are as good risks both morally and physically as any other race of people. The Western Life Indemnity Co. is the first large company to give us this recognition and no doubt this step will have a tendency to force the other companies to do likewise. This is our opportunity to encourage this excellent move by co-operating as well as natronizing this great company. The Western Life is one of the best known companies in America. It has been in successful operation for over twenty-seven years; has not one death claim due and unpaid. It has paid to its members and beneficiaries over 7,000,000 and maintains a voluntary deposit with the insurance department of the state of Illinois of over $100,000 placed there for the sole protection of policy contracts. The company issues six different kinds of policies which appeal to all the needs of one who desires protection. The premium rates are very equitable. By making this agency a success it will be the means of establishing other agencies in all of the large cities. For all information regarding rates, etc., call at the agency office, located at 3022 South Wabash avenue. We will publish in next issue the names of agents and medical examiners appended. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY SOCIETY. The regular meeting day, Wednesday, Oct. 4, at the home, 3530 Forest avenue. The program will be in the hands of Mrs. Elizabeth Bell of the musical section. Mr. Moore will speak on the "Arts and Crafts" and Miss Curtis of Jamaica will give a short talk about the customs of her country. She is residing at the Phyllis Wheatley home, while here. We hope to see all members and visitors DUNBAR MEMORIAL SANATORIUM. HON. WILBUR MESSER TO SPEAK AT Y. M. G. A.

W. ROLAND SOBERS ENTER TAINED AT DOUGLASS CENTER. In Honor of Dr. Ralph Stewart of Washington, D.C., With a Dancing Party. One of the most pleasant memories of a delightful affair will be the memory cherished by those who attended the dancing party given by W. Roland Sobers on Tuesday evening, Sept. 26, at the Dougglas Center Club house, in honor of Dr. Ralph Stewart of Washington, D. C., from eight, to twelve. The house was brilliantly illuminated, the music animating, the guests congenial, and the very essence of happiness seemed to permeate the atmosphere. As the closing hour drew near the guests seemed to realize it was the ending of one of the gayest social seasons Chicago has enjoyed for many years, and when the closing strains of a soft dreamy waltz were turned into "Home Sweet Home," there was one sigh of regret, regret that one of the most delightful social affairs of the season was at an end. Prof. Wilson's orchestra furnished the music. Julius N. Aventorph was master of ceremonies. Those present were: Misses Bertha Moseley, Ada Lou Mitchell, Maule Taylor, Pearl Duncan, Essie Arnold, Willie Hart, Pearl Mayo, Edith Madden and Deming; Mesdames B. F. Moseley, Erina Jones, Bert Williams of New York, Zola Young, J. R. Marshall, and Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Fry, Mr. and Mrs. Julius N. Aventorph, Dr. Ralph Stewart of Washington, D. C., and Messrs. Alf. Anderson, W. Young, P. Madden, Theo. Jones, Chas, Meyers, Lee Tobin, George Thompson, M. E. Mitchell, Gordon Jackson, E. Teragano, D. Curtis, Dodson and Dr. U. S. Daily. A JOYFUL REUNION Mrs. M. E. Hefron and daughter, Lillian, of Savannah, Ga., are in the city. They (mother and sister) came to find the son and brother whom they had not seen in three years nor heard from in over a year and fears were entertained as to his safety, morally and physically. On reaching Chicago, Mrs. Hefron located her son Frank. The boy is employed by Uncle Sam in the railroad postal service and stands high in the estimation of his employer. Mrs. Hefron is one of Savannah's social lights and we are glad to know that her mother love is satisfied. Mrs. Hefron and Miss Lillian while in the city are stopping with Mr. and Mrs. Heiser, 3505 Forest avenue. LINCOLN TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK OF CHICAGO. The above named bank is an organization of the Bowers' Bank association. It has been from the first an excellent venture and an opportunity is now given the public to purchase shares in the concern at rock bottom prices. There are only 300 shares on the market and they are going fast. When this number is sold the stock price will increase. After Oct. 1 a meeting of stockholders will be called. The company has a capital of $200,000 and a $200,000 surplus. Do not neglect this opportunity. It is well worth due consideration. WASHINGTON CITIZEN EQUAL PROPOR Man of Race to Manage House —Citizens Don't Want Jim More Uncle Tom's Cabin Dramas—They Claim That T THE PIG-HEADED Who Attend Shows Where No Chance to Learn the Art and the Streets While Other Pe Theater and the Cincinnati T Are Great Examples. NEGRO MANAGER If the Howard Theater is set apart especially for the colored people, they have until a colored manager support them. Then again, if there are no first-class shows placed, they will certainly not support them in this house. Uncle Tom's Cabin is an old rusty play, and it has outlived its want is a first-class show. It must not be presumed that the colored people in this theater placed in this theater. A colored manager or no support. No more advertisements will be placed in this paper for that show. The people in this theater and all Negro help placed in this city. The people are requested to act accordingly. The above clipping from the Washington Bee gives to us the very commendable stand taken by the colored people of Washington, D. C., in defense of their right to have a Negro manager at the Howard theater in that city as well as strictly first class and up-to-date attractions. The cause of this sudden reversals of feeling was the coming to the Howard of Uncle Tom's Cabin, which, to say the least, but portrays and repens a wound which will be far the better for the healing. This play is distinctly "passe" and the colored people are but establishing their right to things elevating, edifying and inspir- ```markdown ``` THE CHICAGO YOUTH OF REFINEMENT MUST BE GIVEN A TRADE THE CHICAGO YOUTH OF REFINEMENT MUST BE GIVEN A TRADE Wholesale Robbery by Boys Out of Refined Homes is Appalling.—Parents Claim They Cannot Make Children Go to School a Mistake.—Children Should Not Be Left for State to Correct.—Boys Should Have Been in Boarding School Learning a Trade. PARENTS TOO LAX WITH CHILDREN Mothers Weep When State Takes Children to Correct—State Force to Take Up Where Parents Leave Off—Pool Rooms Not the Cause—Home Discipline of the Boy and Girl Not Known in Thousands of Homes in Chicago. The excellent article by Mrs. Sara Lawson Wilson is not only timely but very instructive, because of the dreadful state of mind of some of our respected citizens over the deplorable misdemeanor of their boys. The names of the boys are withheld because of their families' prominence, what matter as to that—a theft is a theft, whether committed by the king on the throne or the boy in the hovel. The schools for the maintenance of refractory children are a great benefit to them because of their environments. A few years of just such discipline would be a Godsend to some of our boys. By Sara Lawson Wright We most cheerfully concede that "boys will be boys," and need a wider range, a broader scope than a girl. Yet we should pause and consider the limitations of that range and measure the breadth of that scope before we make the mistake of placing the rob of self-government in the hands of our boy who has neither the age nor experience to guide his footsteps over the many pitfalls that he must encounter in his struggle for existence. Boys need training, and plenty of it. Parents and guardians make a mistake by thinking there will be plenty of time when the child grows older. They often realize, when too late, that they have made a fatal error. Children are very precocious nowadays and need early training to keep their minds clear and hearts pure. Those who have the rearing of the youth in this progressive age, let it be a parent or some one else, have a serious responsibility. With the progress of time we notice that the rod has been discarded for less rigid enforcement of obedience. We appeal to the youth in more gentle terms, but if he has been rebound without any sense of honor, then the appeal has been in vain. And the only recourse is some institution, with doubtful results after release. Give the boys the best training there is to be had; give them the best advice, the best care, the best of everything, and the best will come back to you. It is with a sense of shame that we notice the increasing stiffness of CITIZENS DEMAND RITION OF WORK FOR RACE ACTORS Also If They Want Their Money Crow House in City, Nor Any Shows—Must Have Uplifting They Are Not Like CHICAGO NEGROES One of Their Race Are Given a and Their Actors Are Walking on People Are Put to Work—Howard Theater and Citizens in Each Town ing. If a theater is set apart for the use of the Negro then let the evidence of the Negro be felt and seen in all its departments. I agree with the Washington Bee that a Negro manager is the thing for a Negro theater and since we have so many beautiful theaters throughout the country for our use it would seem that the thing to do would be to give us as many first class colored acts as is possible, as the pride of the Negro of intelligence is in his own and not in the accomplishments of a race which has never known where the rocks of adversity along the pathway to freedom lay. The Defender is always for the right and congratulates the Washington paper on its aggressiveness and we hope that not until every wrong has been righted will this paper, with those of other cities, cease testing for the measures that should be meted out to a man. Allow me to add in conclusion that the doors of the beautiful theater Magnolia in Cincinnati, O., were closed Aug. 5 because of a similar incentive, namely, the non-employment of a colored staff at the playhouse. ```markdown ``` Defeno the present generation of young men. Men who do not seem to be bothered with such a thing as conscience, who stand on the street corners with a repulsive leer or an idiotic grin on his face that embarraces every decent, respectful woman that has the misfortune to pass. They dress well, and to take a superficial view, they look well. But if you would observe more closely you would detect weakness, vanity and vice written there. This type of men do not apply to all, for we have among the Afro-Americans young men whom we are proud of, young men who have succeeded in business, trades and professions; young men who never faltered when called to the front to do their duty. That is the type of Afro-American manhood that we are proud of. We do not feel that all of our young men who congregate on the corners are bad men, or have any desire to be disrespectable. Possibly it has been thoughtlessness on their part. Sometimes the men who have the reputation of being bad men are the most courteous to a lady. Let us be charitable, for appearances are often very deceptive. It will not take a lengthy pause for the most illiterate person to understand that if you plant a thistle you cannot expect to gather roses from that selfsame bush. Then how can you expect an untrained, unrestrained youth subjected to his own will and pleasures, in fact a young ruffian, to be recognized as a gentleman? Train the boys that when they grow to be young men they will be strong enough morally, and steadfast, to resist the fascinations of feminine charms, feminine coquetry and all feminine allurements that seem questionable and immodest, and to treat another man's sister as you would have another man treat yours. Parents should begin to train their boys while still in kills to reverence a woman, no matter what station in life, and should insist on their boys lifting their hats when speaking to a lady, and above all insist on this act of courtesy toward his sister, not only once, but if he meets her a dozen times a day show her the same courtesy. Courtesy to each other in the family is truly beautiful and should be practiced at all times. Train your boys to be men of worth and judgment for the future of the Afro-American race will rest with the coming generations; therefore, train them to be men. They will thank you for it.

JUVENILE REBECCA CAN DANCE. The musical and dance given at Odd Fellows' hall for the benefit of Rebecca. Juvenile No. 695 was one of the swellest affairs given so far this season.

The supervisors of the affair were as follows: Mrs. Florence Titus, Mrs. C. Anderson and Mrs. E. M. Knott. Mrs. Arthur Dunham was manager. Tragical Wedding Party. An appalling happening occurred in Turkey a few days ago, at a wedding celebration, the bride, bridegroom and twenty-eight of the guests being blown to pieces. A powder merchant named Yahla was celebrating his wedding in the village of Sinan, in the Yemen, when a terrific explosion occurred in one of the rooms where powder was stored. The bride and bridegroom and guests all perished, some of them being terribly mutilated. ```markdown ``` PEOPLE'S GAS LIGHT & CO COMPANY YIELDS TO DEFENDER'S POINT Discharges St. Louis Colored Woman Who Drew Color Line on Her Own Race—Job Given to Our Own Miss Lottie Jackson, High School Graduate, with Twice the Pay and Promise of Raise for Good Service.

Many Negroes of the south would not let a China-man iron his shirt if he thought the starch came from China, as did this poor ignorant woman, for whom we are sorry, but could not have mercy on on account of the welfare of the race. been in the employ of the company for more than twenty years.

Odd Sentences "Break rock for 100 days or go to church every Sunday for six months," was the sentence imposed upon three Kansas City (Mo.) boys, after they had been convicted of throwing eggs at pedestrians. "I sentence this boy to a whipping every morning for a month. Not the namby pamby kind, but good, real hard ones; ones that'll make him eat off a mantelpiece. You'll find then that he'll develop into a good boy."

Larger Circulation than all the other Larger Circulation than all the other weeklies combined. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1911. We told you about saving your money to buy an overcoat. Are all the political jobs given out? We haven't heard of any new appointments lately. How are you going to spend your afternoons, now that the baseball season is over? Young Dowie poses as the only unkissed man in the country. Pshaw, that's nothing to boast of. Professor Garner has brought another Gorilla to New York. It certainly is a cosmopolitan city, isn't it? The "Grouchometer" is the latest—it is a little book in which you record all the things that make you ill-tempered. We have a law to protect women against male flirts; why not have a law to protect the innocent man from women's wiles? Isn't it pleasant to sit in front of the woman with the large hat while at church and have the feathers dangling in your eyes as you bend over to give worship? The City Fathers are agitating the question of more light for Chicago's streets and alleys. This isn't the only place where we need more light, so say the taxpayers. News comes from New York that they are trying to establish "Jim Crow" playgrounds for the children there. The big burg should be ashamed to harbor such southern sentiment, or to cater to that misguided element of so-called southern aristocracy. New York is, geographically, a northern city—let it ever remain so. Jack Johnson is again in the line-light in London. Don't get excited. This time he was arrested for planning another fight, or exhibition, as they term it. The police seemed very much surprised that he should submit so quietly to arrest. We didn't put a label on him when we sent him over, but our Jack is a gentleman. Some weeks ago we spoke about the evil effects of young girls promaning unscorted, up and down State street. Nightly one can see girls ranging from 14 to 18 years of age talking and loudly laughing as they parade before the loafers and hangers on at the corners. Is it a wonder that so many girls go astray, or that so many homes are broken up? The old saying, "tied to mother's apron strings," has fallen into disuse, and it were better if the mothers would hold a tighter rein on these chirp little misses and in case mother's word is of no avail, father with a strap, might persuade them, "Spare the rod and spoil the child." A POET YOU DID NOT KNOW. B. J. Fenton Johnson. While perusing an 1832 volume of Phyllis Wheatley's poems at the Chicago public library, I came across a collection of verses written by a negro hitherto unsung. George Horton was his name, but less is known of him than of even Shakespeare or Wheatley. He was born about 1797, but the exact date and place is unknown. At the time the curtain rises on the forgotten child of genius, he is dragging out a weary existence in the toils of James Horton, a hard slave master of Chatham County, North Carolina. The abolitionists, having noticed his unusual intelligence, interested themselves in his behalf, and tried to secure his manumission and deportation to Liberia. Hence the publication of his "Poems by a Slave," which unfortunately failed to secure the proper sum, and the last heard of poor George, he was doomed to a death in bondage. At the time of the publication of the poems (1823), the tidewater mark of American poetry had not yet been reached. Bryant, the least of the Big Nine, had ceased to do his most characteristic work, and Edgar Poe had not yet sprung into prominence. Phyllis Wheatley's work was merely imitative of Alexander Pope, and Frenau was nothing more than a satirist. The American had not yet learned the art of expressing passion in verse, but Horton in his cabin cries out: "Come, melting Pity, from afar And break this vast, enormous bar Between a wretch and thee; Purchase a few short days of time, And bld a vassal soar sublime On wings of liberty." But not alone as a poet of abolition, but as an artist Horton has a claim to a place among American bards. He is a nature poet, who like Wordsworth can sympathize with nature. No American poet until Landor's day has equaled this selection from his "Ode to Spring," and none before him ever j 一 ACCE wrote with as much sympathy and passion: 'Now where the crystal waters glide the male of bird escorts his bride the female on the crane And twitters on the spray; He mounts upon his active wing To hall the beauty of the Spring, The lavish pomp of May." As a religious poet, Horton was an enthusiast of the emotional type. In his "Praise of Creation" he says: "Heaven's chief delight was man "Heaven's chief delight was man Before Creation's birth" and bursts into a rhapsody that would have done credit to a Hebrew pastor. The peculiarity about Horton is that he could not write. His poetry is spasmodic, and had it not been for some friends of the negroes, who acted as amanuensal for him, the world would have lost the work of perhaps the most remarkable man ever born. He was a race, should do all what he wanted to perplex the mind of George Horton, who was in all respects a poet and a singer of his people's wrongs. The editor of the Defender is in receipt of a letter from Mr. James T. Cassell, stating his appreciation of the Defender's courtesy to him and in return desires to assist said paper. The editor is indeed grateful to Mr. Cassell for his offer of assistance along this line, and will be pleased to accept same. Mr. Cassell is a man of the right sort; he believes in doing all that will go to help his people collectively as well as individually, as well as a believer in the old adage that one good turn deserves another." EMMA Hobbs The concert given at Quinan Chapel on Thursday evening, September 21st, was one of the most delightful entertainments that has been given before a Chicago audience for a very long time. The artists were nearly all Chicago people, including the versatile musician, Mrs. Hattie Hobbs. It is no disparagement to the other members of this talented group of singers to say that the audience was captivated by the bird-like sweetness of Mrs. Greene's voice and charming presence. Her sweet naturalness of manner and faultless tones imparted a feeling of joyous enthusiasm to every lover of real music. It is both interesting and important to note how the musical taste of the Chicago has developed in the last few years. Our people have become critical and discriminating. That this high standard of excellence among our singers has been largely due to the careful training that Chicago has afforded them, every one must admit. It is only just to state that this refinement of taste and demand for what is best in the musical line is largely due to the influence and training of the Choral Study Club under the management of Mr. Pedro Tinsley. This club, through its ten years of persistent work, has done more to elevate the public tasto in matters musical than all other influences combined. Many of the most popular soloists today, among our people, have received their training and impulse to excel from the standard insisted upon by the Choral Study Club of Chicago. Chicago should become the center of whatever is best in the divine art of music if the proper support and encouragement were given to Mr. Tinsley and his associates. ELECTRIC POWER FROM WIND Economical Lighting Plants Can Be Based on Baseline Motors to Help There has never been a time when the forces of nature were subjected to such searching scrutiny to determine their availability for the development of mechanical power as they receive at present. This arises mainly from the progressive use of electricity. Among other things it is believed that the wind can be utilized to a far greater extent than in the past, especially for electrical lighting. With this object in view the average state of the wind has been investigated in England. It is found that for approximately half the time the mean wind velocity is ten miles an hour, and for about one-third of the time fifteen miles. In the winter the average is higher. The great difficulty arises from the calm periods, which may last days, or even a week, but it has been shown that economical lighting plants can be based upon wind power by providing gasoline motors to take up the work whenever the wind falls. The use of gas for heating as well as lighting has made obsolete the old unit the candle power, owing to the fact that this unit rates merely the brightness of the flame, not the heating power: Deville and more, recent experimenters discover a remarkable proportion between the light and heat of a mantle, and using this, makers are rating burners according to the unta heat given to them per unit of time in standard calorics. Gas of 5,200 calorics efficiency a cubic meter has been recommended as the standard. The latest designs of burners for heat and lighting require that the gas have a fairly constant consumption, since the maximum efficiency of the burner is attained only when the relative quantities of air and gas are closely regulated. Water gas may be added to prevent excessive variation in calorific value—America. Figg—"As a talker, Brown's wife is certainly a wonder." Fogg—"Right you are! Wonders never cease."—Boston Transcript.

Mrs. Amorica Brown, 5123 Grove avenue, and Mrs. Mark Cowan, 3520 Forest avenue, two of Chicago's most prominent society matrons, have to the delight of their many friends returned from their trip to Muskegon, Mich., where they spent a week fishing and hunting. Dr. U. G. Dalley has returned to the city after a trip in the northwest. The doctor spent two weeks at the famous Mayo clinic at Rochester Minn., studying the newer surgical methods in vogue at that institution. Dr. Charles Gilbert, the only colored Chicagoan to speak at the grove The Defender announces with regret the illness of Mrs. J. Wallace, one of Chicago's most fashionable hairdressers. And we wish for her speedy recovery. The way to get good bread, ask for the "Kentucky _oaf." Mr. R. S. Winston, 5384 Wabash avenue, is convalescent after quite an illness.

Carey, for the benefit of the activities of the church, was largely attended notwithstanding the inclement weather. The program, with the exception of a few numbers, was somewhat chasy. The following persons appeared on the program: Miss Gertrude Jackson, Mrs. Dorwin Knapp, Mrs. Sallie Jones Downs, Miss Grace Clark, Kentucky quartet, Mrs. Marie Burton Hyrum, Mrs. Marian Adams Hyman, Mrs. Jirison Emmanuel Hyman, Mrs. Knapp, Mr. Emmanuel deserve special mention.

Mr. James Parker of 6618 Vernon avenue met with a very serious accident last week at the South Chicago mills but he is now at home from the hospital and doing nicely. One of the proudest moments of a young man's life ought to be when in the society of some nice young woman but, judging from the number of young men seen out alone, there are but few proud moments in the life of the young men of today in Chicago. It is unfortunate, too, as there are so many places they miss going to on account of not having company. Remember, young men, attention is what keeps our girls in the right set. Mrs. George Mills of 3339 Vernon avenue is visiting friends and relatives at her old home, Chatham, Ont. Mr. Peter Pollard of Rogers Park spent one day this week in the city sightseeing and calling on friends. Mrs. Eddie Lang spent last Sunday in Evanston with her old friend, Miss Gertrude Perry.

Temperature of Boiling Water. When water boils and uncensures, the temperature of the water rises no higher, however great the heat of the fire. Motts Pekin Theatre SCRAP BOOK Ancient Rome's Libraries. The libraries of ancient Rome were immense and splendid. Lucullus, whose name is associated with table luxuries, expended much of his wealth books. His library, says Plutarch, and his museums, galleries and cabinets open to him, Julius Caesar proposed to open this library definitely to the public. How were these vast libraries, in addition to the bookshops, filled? With his trained staff of readers and translators, a publisher could turn out an edition of any work at very cheap rates, and almost at a moment's notice. There was no initial expense of typesetting before a single copy could be produced, no rumours extras in the shape of printers' corrections. The manuscript came from the author; the publisher handed it over to his slaves; and if a book of modest dimensions the complete edition could be ready if necessary within twenty-four hours. Amount of Best Workers Need Amount of Rest Workers Need. Persons who may be unwilling to accept the Sabbath as a day of rest prescribed by the Infinite may heed the observations recently made in behalf of the German army. Germans, as a people, have long been regarded as open cowling, scientific observations and field observation, marching, and maneuvering its troops the German government has discovered that in long marches especially, no commissary will supply to troops the waste of carbohydrates without rest intervals. In this connection army experts more than double the period in the Scriptural injunctions and have decided that after three days marching the marchers should have a full day's rest for recuperation. To keep an army column longer in heavy marching order is to weaken the physical forces of the soldier. Distance Covered in a Waltz Distance Covered in a Waltz. Everyone has observed that the lady or the beau who objects strenuously to taking any sort of exercise and pleads incapacity to endure strain will dance through a full and exhaustive program, being in this fashion seduced into a most vigorous, and under proper conditions beneficial exercise. It seems that in a normal little dance the parties travel something like eleven miles of it, much more strenuous fashion than they would if they set out to walk the same distance. An average waltz takes you over something like three quarters of a mile, and the various old-fashioned square dances are at least half a mile long. To make dancing beneficial, the room should be thoroughly ventilated, so that a constant supply of fresh oxygen is available for the overworked heart. Antiquity of the Water Filter Water filters are generally regarded as of quite modern invention, but two very excellent water filters have been found recently during the course of excavations which were used in Babylonia some six thousand years ago. They date from at least 4,000 B. C. The filters were placed at points where the water drained from the roof of a palace into the clisters, so that no dirt or refuse could find a way into the reservoirs and pollute the water supply. They were made of clay, with small perforations, and cleverly fitted to the end of the leaders. In this way there was perfect filtration or straining of all the water, without any loss of that precious fluid, so valuable in the wastes of Babylonia. Garments of Fishes' Sklng Garments of Pines - Skins. Among the unique and wonderful garments worn at the present day are the curious fish-skin dressed of the wealthy woman of the tribe, living on the river, East Siberia. Though they can neither read nor write, yet these people are producing astonishing ornaments, designs and embroidery work. The dress is composed of several layers of fish-skin, the undermost representing the skin of the garment proper, the uppermost showing the ornaments of their cut-out forms. Between these two layers is inserted a middle layer, which serves as a background, throwing out distinctly all parts of the ornaments. The pieces of fish-skin forming the ornaments are generally colored blue. The front and back of the dress is adorned with these cut-out pieces of fish-skin, sewed with fish-skin thread. Roman Marriage. When Rome became the master state of the Mediterranean world, and especially during the last century of the republic, woman, aside from a few slight limitations of form rather than of substance, had already acquired legal and economic independence, the condition necessary for social and moral equality. As to marriage, the afflianced pair could at that time choose between two different legal family regimes; marriage with manus, the older form, in which all the goods of the wife passed to the ownership of the husband, so that she could no longer possess anything in her own name; or marriage without manus, in which only the dower became the property of the husband, and the wife remained mistress of all her other belongings and all that she might acquire. Except in some cases, and for special reasons, in all the families of the aristocracy, by common consent, marriages, during the last centuries of the republic, were contracted in the later form; so that at the time married women directly and openly had gained economic independence. Berlin—At Potsdam a replica of the statue erected in Washington, to Gen. Baron von Steuben, the drillmaster of the American revolutionary army, was unveiled by the presence of representatives of the United States and of Germany. The American representatives, Congressman Bartholdt, of Missouri, and congressman William Koch, who presented the statue to Emperor William on behalf of the people of the United States. After the Steuben statue was erected in Washington the XII Replica of Steuben Monument. Kaiser expressed a desire to have a replica of it and congress appropriated the necessary funds to carry out the emperor's wish. The replica bears the following inscription: Dedicated to the German emperor and the German nation by the congress of the United States of America. This broken of unbroken friendship. This stolen a copy of the original memorial of Gen August Wilhelm Steuben, born in Madgeburg, 1750, died in the state of New York, 1754, erected in Washington in grateful recognition of his services rendered in the American nation's war of Independence." Baron von Steuben, a Prussian army officer, was enlisted in the American cause through the efforts of Benjamin Franklin. The baron made a trained army of the disorganized American forces. BORES HOLE THROUGH ROCK Swirling Action of Water and Stones In Aerial Forms Forms of Channels at Niagara Buffalo, N. Y.—After the ice which covered the northern hemisphere during the glacial oophad had all melted there was left along the northern border of the United States those vast bodies of water now known as the great lakes. At first the flood of water found an outlet down the Mississippi valley, according to those who have made this feature of our country a study, but later the flow changed to the Mohawk valley and finally to Lawrence, that lordry river of the north. Thus came about that world-famous fall—Nigara, whose beauties have delighted admiring thousands each year since modern methods of travel made it easy of access. The descent from Queer Tunnel at Niagara Falls. Lake Erie to Ontario was steep and as the rushing water splashed downward over its new course it began to wear away the rocks underneath. Gradually a channel was formed which deepened and slowly crept back year by year toward its present position, several miles south of the starting point. This wearing away process has done some curious things. The accompanying illustration shows a natural tunnel bored by the water of Niagara river, which is about 12 miles below the present location of the cataract. Nothing could more clearly show the retrogression that has taken place. Various theories are advanced concerning the why and the wherefore, but it is generally conceded that the tunnel was bored out by the swirling action of water and stones in an age-long struggle with opposing forces. Hen Won't Desert Snakes Louisville, Ky.-Dr. B. F. Walters of Lancaster, Ky., has a hen that is the proud parent of seven young snakes. Sometimes ago Dr. Walters discovered seven small eggs in his yard which had been frequented by quail. He concluded the eggs were of the latter variety, and placed them under his setting hen. In due time they hatched, much to the hen's evident emazement. But, it is said, she accepted them and now they wriggle eagerly after her and come forward when she makes a noise like food. Risks Life for a Plo Lawrenceburg, Ind.—in trying to save the life of a pig, Louis A. Hitzfield, 80 years old, nearly lost his own. The pig fell into a clistern and Hitzfield tied a rope at the top and lowered himself into the clistern. He held on and neither could the pig. He stood in water up to his neck for eight hours while the pig swam around him, until help arrived to pull both of them out. STUDIO OF MUSIC MRS.

BEAT THE FOREIGNER TO THIS LAND. --- The Date to Register Is Oct. 2 to 21—The Drawing Begins at Gregory Oct. 24—The Places to Register Are Gregory, Dallas and Rapid City, S. D. The Northwestern Railroad Offers the Best Inducement for You to Travel to This Great Country—They Have Colored Help and Employ More of Them Than Any Road Going West—Write Them at Once. Who May Register—How to Register. Any person desiring to make homestead entry on any of these lands must go in person to one of the registration points named by the Government, there appearing between Oct. 2d and 21st, to swear to and present their application for registration (if they are not entitled to registration through an agent account service in the Civil War or the war with Spain). Dallas, Gregory, and Rapid City, S. D., have been designated as registration points. The applicant must swear to his application before a notary public at the registration point. Judge James W. Witten, the superintendent of the drawing, furnishes a certificate of authority to these notaries public, and no applicant should swear to his application before any notary who does not exhibit a certificate of this kind. No payment will be required for the privilege of registering, but a fee of twenty-five cents must be paid to the notary for each oath administered. No person can present more than one application in his own behalf, and one as an agent for a soldier, sailor or his widow or minor orphan children. Soldiers and Sailors. Soldiers and sailors honorably discharged after ninety days' service during the War of the Robellion, the Spanish-American War or the Philippine Insurrection, or their widows or minor orphan children, need not go to either of the registration points for the purpose of registering, but may register through agents appointed for them for that purpose. A soldier's widow cannot register if she has remarried, and a minor child cannot register if its mother is still living and unmarried. Persons who have served in the Army or Navy in time of peace or served less than ninety days in wars named above, and the children of soldiers who are over twenty-one years of age, must register in person and cannot register by agent. Blank powers of attorney for the appointment of agent can be obtained by addressing Judge James W. Witten at Washington, D. C., prior to September 25, 1911, or by addressing him at Gregory, S. D., after that date. Any person over sixteen years of age, regardless of his qualifications to make homestead entry, may act as agent for any soldier, sailor, widow or their minor orphan children, but no person can act as agent for more than one such. The Drawing. All applications for registration must reach the registration points not later than 12 o'clock midnight, Oct. 21, 1911, and the drawing will take place at Gregory, S. D., beginning at 10 a. m., Oct. 24, 1911. All envelopes containing applications will be thoroughly mixed and envelopes will be selected therefrom indiscriminately one at a time, the applications therein to be numbered as selected. The numbers first assigned will control the order in which the entries will be made. The first application drawn will be No. 1, and be given choice of all lands subject to entry. The person to whom No. 2 is assigned will be given second choice, and so on. By this method every person who registers will have an equal chance, the man registers last having the same opportunity as the man who registers first, to secure a selection of the lands. As fast as the numbers are assigned postal card notices thereof will be mailed to each applicant to whom a number is assigned, and a few days later there will also be mailed to each person to whom a number is assigned a large. envelope with his number printed on the outside, and with copies of the proclamation and regulations governing the opening, and a copy of the homestead laws and regulations contained therein. Persons who register should be careful to see that the postoffice address to which they desire notices mailed is correct. Lists giving names and addresses of all persons to whom numbers are assigned will also be publicly posted at each of the registration points, and the result of each day's drawings will be given to newspapers to be published as a matter of news. entry and entry of the tract in his name as a homestead. No entries will be made before 9 o'clock a. m., April 1, 1912. All persons given the privilege of making entry will be notified of the exact date when they must appear and enter, and if they fail to appear they will lose all rights under the numbers assigned them. These rights cannot be sold or transferred to another person, but the widow or heirs of the applicant may make entry in their own right on that day. On the date of entry each applicant must personally present certificate of registration and make the first payment on the lands, being one-fifth of the appraised value. The remainder of the purchase money may be paid in five equal annual installments. Notice of the time and place where applicants may make their entries will be mailed to them at the address given in their applications for registration. Any change in address should be sent to Judge James W. Witten at General Land Office, Washington, D. C. 'Residence on the Land. Residence upon the land-must be begun within six months after the date of entry, and must be continued with cultivation, and to the exclusion of a home elsewhere, until a patent has been earned, either by five years' residence and cultivation and the payment of the installments of purchase money annually, or by fourteen months' actual and continuous residence and cultivation and the payment of all the unpaid purchase money. Soldiers, sallors, their widows or minor orphan children who have actually resided on the land for twelve months, can claim credit on the remaining four years' residence required by the law for the-period of the soldier's military service. The following persons are not qualified to make homestead entry: 1. A married woman, unless she has been deserted or abandoned by her husband, or unless her husband is incapacitated by disease or otherwise from earning a support for his family, and she is the head and main support of the family. 2. One not a citizen of the United States, and who has not declared his intention to become such. 3. One under twenty-one years of age, not the head of a family. 4. One who is the proprietor of more than 160 acres of land in any state or territory. The ownership of a town lot or any other amount of land in excess of 160 acres, disqualifies the owner from making entry. Homesteads Not Saleable. Do not attempt to buy out a home- steader without keeping in view the fact that he can give you no title as against the United States. If you purchase a relinquishment of his claim it must run to the United States. Entries and filings for the purpose of holding the land for speculation are illegal and fraudulent, and the sale of, relinquishments is also illegal. Write A. C. Johnson, Passenger Traffic Manager, Chicago. UNCLE HIRAM TO HIS NEPHEW He Hopes the Boy Will Turn Out to Be Good Judge of Men, When His Turn Comes. "Stevey, my boy," said Uncle Hiram to his hopeful nephew, "I hope it will turn out that you are a good judge of men, for by virtue of that quality a man is able in effect to multiply his own power. "It is a common thing to hear people say that the more pay a man gets the less work he does, and as to the doing of actual labor this may be true; somebody else saw the wood while he sits by the fire. "As a matter of fact there are plenty of men high up who still work hard, and all of them certainly worked hard when they were younger, and if they are doing less actual labor now it is because they are good judges of men, able to pick out for the business under their direction just the right men to do the work and carry it forward successfully. "Really it is in the exercise of this gift that we*find* the greatest value in a manager; it is just this that makes him worth his high pay. We want him to sit around and take things easy and give himself time to think and keep his head clear. We don't want him to get out and chop down trees; we want him to be able to select men who can do that work to the greatest advantage and with the greatest economy. "Some of us know men on sight and some don't. I hope, Steve, that you will turn out to be a good judge of men." Evidently He Was Jealous. A strange plea for divorce was unsuccessfully put forward in the French courts recently by a man who complained that his wife had allowed her photographs to be used on picture postcards against his will. Dlatrust. "That man wants to know whether you are going to stand by hm," said the political assistant. "I'm obliged to," replied Senator Sorghum. "It wouldn't be safe not to stand by hm close enough to watch him." Critical Sense "That youngest son of Bilgins seems to have the making of a true musician in him," "Does he sing or play?" "No. But he cries piteously when Bilgins tries to." Few Hens in England. England has one hen to the acre of territory.

"This tip business," said a map of small income, "has come to be a serious matter. "Every summer I send my wife and daughter to the country, to a modest hotel in a quiet place—does not cost us much more than it would to have them stay home, or didn't use to. "Years ago we gave some small tips, a little to the waitress and a little to the chambermaid, amounts not great, but now we have to give more to them and we have to give also to the chef and to the housekeeper and so on, something to everybody that does something for us. It seems to be the custom, and it all counts up. "This year, for instance, I sent the folks along weekly the little check for their board and their other moderate expenses—and they are always careful about those—and everything is going along very pleasantly and I see us settling the financial problem very nicely, and then a week or two before they are coming home we put down a little memorandum of the tips to give when they come away, and do you know that this year these amounted to $30 "Thirty dollars; and that gives me—just as it does every year—quite a little jolt. I know it's coming, but I never realize it till it comes. "You know what Lincoln said about paying bills? that it was easier to pay a big bill if you had the money than a little bill if you hadn't, and that sum up on the tips hits us in something that way. We pay 'em, but it does sort of put the kibosh on our nice little financial schedule." Artificial Sponge. An artificial sponge, the outcome of German ingenuity, is now to be had, according to the Scientific American. The process of making it consists principally in the action of zinc chloride on pure cellulose. This results in a pasty, viscous mass, which is mixed with coarsely grained rock salt. Placed in a press mold armed with pins the mass is pierced through and through until it appears traversed by a multitude of thy canals, like the pores of a natural sponge. The excess of salts is subsequently removed by prolonged washing in a weak alcoholic solution. The artificial sponge swells up with water but hardens on drying, just like its prototype; it is sald to be eminently adapted for filtering water for sanitary or industrial uses and it can be employed for all the purposes that are usually assigned to the genuine article. and E.

An engrossing story of how a poor but dishonest young man rose to fame and fortune in twenty-three minutes is graphically told in the sporting edition of the December "War Cry." We quote verbatim: "On a dark and stormy night, as the lightning rolled and the thunder flashed, a figure was seen to glide, bird-like, across the spacious floor of the waiting room at the new Northwestern depot. It was 1:01 by the bell in the belly; the last train for Englewood had pulled out, and the stillness was only broken by the sonorous snoring of a Weary Willie who lay stretched out on a back seat. Suddenly a shrill cry rent the air and a woman rose as if from the floor, a pistol in each hand and a knife in the other, and stood threateningly over the tramp. This figure mentioned in the previous sentence was none other than the gallant Henry Anderson. Realizing that he could not reach the tramp's side in time to save his life, hero that he was, he walked leisurely back to the general office and reported the incident to one of the section hands.—To be continued." The friends of Hon. Beauregard F. Moseley will be delighted to learn that at the last regular meeting of Congress a bill was passed to abolish the position of Chief Justice, and on motion of Hon. Bill Splivings of Georgia, the position of High Mogul was created and Moseley given the title role. We understand the new chief is having the lawn surrounding the White House converted into a baseball park. The new Blackstone Hotel is said to be one of the finest hostels in the world, and it can well be imagined the shock to the Armours, the Gould and Morgan estates, to learn that Adolph Harris, the real estate dealer who knows, quietly but firmly foreclosed a mortgage he held on the property amounting in the aggregate to $1.84. When seen by a reporter for the "Helping Hand" and asked the particulars, he modestly replied: "I took the place with the intention of presenting it to the survivors of Coxey's Army—I'm sorry the news has leaked out. It is but a mere bagatelle." "Seattle is noted for two things. Just what those two things are we are unable to state." The above spasm was uttered by the Marquette Club (twins, Shields and Bowman, as they sat in their Chicago branch, opening another and then another for a party of congenial friends. It leaked out that this enterprising firm had secured the corner now occupied by Buck and Raynor, State and Madison streets, and would soon open a thirst cure emporium, all treatments to C. O. D. The Women's Temperance Union has secured desk room in the store and will present each purchaser of five conts' worth or over, with a blue ribbon. The grand opening will be announced in these columns later. A riot call was turned in to the police station the other evening, and when three wagon loads of cops drew up in front of a beautiful Wabash avenue residence and rushed up the steps consternation was rife. A noise as of a woman screaming greeted their ears. On entering, they found Garfield Wilson playing the violin with a sweet girl graduate playing the accompaniment on a piano. The police begged their pardon and retired, wondering if the screeching came from the flat above or from the violin. The man who gave the alarm said he wouldn't touch it. POSITIONS OF MAR AT PLATE Birdle Cree of New York Highlanders. Many good batters keep their feet close together, but Birdle Cree, one of the best, keeps his wide apart. He faces the pitcher with body as well as head, his feet, one in front of the other, both poiting out toward the diamond. Apparently he carries the weight on the forward foot and bat off of one leg. He makes a flagpole out of the bat and waves it, grasping it at the end. He gets his whole weight in his blows, but without being a body swinger. Body, legs and arms all play their part effectively, though not gracefully, co-ordinated. fers at balls over the plate from plate him play he and Chase to jungle across the near wild pitch field. Another star hitter those and shambling movements, however feet feel the poise of the mace and his bat is held tions, though he do some batters. It brings it into use. Wagner's "form" varies according to his mood. Usually the great Dutchman stands with his feet well apart, but he can hit from any position and sometimes changes. His body is in his swing and his arms more so. Sometimes he swings so hard he all but falls down if he doesn't land, and sometimes he takes a slow swing. He is a batting genius who can afford to disregard canons about the ball coming over the plate and occasionally of BASEBALL NEWS and NOTES BASEBALL UP to DATE NEWS and NOTES GOSSIP Mentloning recent "comebacks"—what's the matter with George Mullin? Double-headers seem to mean uniformly two games won for the Athletics. Quinn, a young catcher from Manchester, Mass., has reported to the Phillies. Whenever Walter Johnson isn't pitching the Senators to victory, he's winning games for them by his pinch hitting. Rube Waddell's strikeout record will go shattered if Marquard can keep it at his present gait. Detroit has signed a Providence is named Emmett Crotty, who has played good ball for Dean academy. Lonergan is said to be fielding brilantly for Boston, but he falls cover second on force plays in a win a player should. The Phillies now have but one first baseman, and if Luderus were injured they would be in a hole. But the The White Sox have sent Catcher Cooper to Dubuque. First Baseman Jack Betty of the Dubuque team has been bought by the Sox. Pitcher Swindell of the Naps, who halts from the Winston-Salem team, has the strikeout record of his league—the Carolina association. Rube Olding, in the Athletic-Boston double-header of September 6, made eight hits in ten times up, five in the first game in five times at bat. The Cincinnati Reds have no championship games on October 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, and will make a trip through Kentucky if satisfactory dates can be arranged. Out of the criticism of Philadelphia's apparent efforts to help Chicago, the Curtis-Rowan trade seems to be one in which the Phillies really got something. Lewis Simmons, who was killed by a motor truck at Reading, Pa., recently, was years ago, manager of the old Athletics of Philadelphia. He was seventy years of age. The Western Canada league closes with Moose Jaw a winner and Calgary second, Edmonton third and Saskatoon fourth. Bill Hurley managed Moose Jaw and Matt Stanley Calgary. Horace Fogel is in the limelight again. In connection with his talk of putting Earl Moore on the market. Fred Clark told him he couldn't trade Moore without the consent of Charley Murphy. Just for that Horace is going to have Clarke up before the National Commission. --- fers at balls over his head or across the plate from him. On a hit and run play he and Chase have been known to lunge across the plate and clout a near wild pitch safely past the infield. Another star hitter, Eddie Collins, is loose and shambling at the plate. His movements, however, are under perfect control. He hasn't the quiet poise of the more statuesque Lajoin, and his bat is held in various positions, though he doesn't wriggle it as do some batters. Wherever held, he brings it into use with the swiftest of motions when ready to hit. He is absolutely unconstrained at the bat, the picture of unconcern, but for all that alertly confident. Though comparatively small, he, like Byrne of the Pirates, hits the ball almighty hard. Ponderous or agile, awkward or graceful, style and form are of as much variance among the best batters as there are batters. One thing they have in common, the discriminating eye. UP to DATE GOSSIP Rube Waddell's strikeout record will go shattered if Marquard can keep on at his present gait. Detroit has signed a Providence lad named Emmett Crotty, who has played good ball for Dean academy. Lonergan is said to be fielding brilliantly for Boston, but he falls to cover second on force plays in a way a player should. The Phillies now have but one first baseman, and if Luduser were injured they would be in a hole. But the Cubs had to have help. Lee Hart, an infielder sold by the Fulton Kitty league team to the Philadelphia Nationals, makes the fourth Kitty leaguer to go to the Phillies. Centralla wins the Washington State league pennant. Centralla has won every series, taking 17 out of the 18 games with the South Bend team. The National commission in the case of Player David Rowan, sustained his claim for salary from the Peoria club of the Three I league from June 30 to July 19. "Win or lose, I've got a team that is doing the best it can," said John J. McGraw. "They're out there trying, and if they succeed they are better pleased than their friends." Pitcher Ed Stack may be wild at times, but the opposing side find his delivery anything but easy to hit. The Phillies might have worked him sooner to their own advantage. It is rather amusing to read in the Baltimore papers that Connie Mack paid Jack Dunn $7,000 for Catcher Egan, when the fact of the matter is, that Mack loaned Egan to Baltimore under an agreement which gave him the privilege to recall him. Lew Richle, the joke of baseball for several years, is now the pennant hope of the Cubs. Richle has twisted wonderful ball this season, and if Manager Chance and several of the other members of the club are to be believed, "Laurid Lew", should not have been beaten but one game all season, had his support not failed him in a pinch. ```markdown ``` One prediction can be safely ventured at this time, and that is the world's series of 1911 will surpass in interest any ever played previously, no matter which teams win the pennant in the American and National leagues. The terrific fights in both baseball organizations for the championship have keyed the "fans" up to a sixty-horse power pitch of excitement and the series of games for the world's title is bound to reap the benefits. At present it looks like a 50 to 1 bet that Countie Mack's Athletics will represent the American league in the battle. Who will represent the National league is a mooted question, and the man who would pick the winner of the pennant in the senior organization would be gambling with fate. But, granting that the Mackenons are pretty sure winners, let's look the field over. Chicago last year met the Athletics in the world's series a 3-to-2 favorite in many circles. The men who fought for Connie Mack made the Cubs look bad, winning four of five games played. It was a surprise and a shock to Chicagoans. But they have not forgotten. Nor have they been convinced that the machine of Frank Chance's building was working smoothly. And if New York should be the opponent of the Athletics. Gracieous! Philadelphia have not forgotten the drubbing "Muggsy" McGraw's Glants handed the Mackmen in 1905. They want revenge. In fact, many "fans" are hoping New York will be the National league contender so that Connie Mack and his crew can get back at the Giants. The short ride between the two cities would also be a factor in making the series a wonderful success. RUNTS AMONG LEAGUE STARS Many Leading Players Today Are Short in Stature—More Midgets Than Ever. "Give the little boys a chance." Can we ever forget that small poem of our Fourth Reader days. Apply it to baseball and think of the heart pangs of the little fellows of by-gone days who were turned away by the big league managers with the statement: "You're all right, but too A man in a dark shirt and pants is standing with his legs apart, facing the camera. His arms are slightly raised, and his hands are clasped together. The background is a plain white wall. Manager Bobby Wallace. small to make good in fast company." Times Inumerable has that remark blasted the hopes of some promising player who was given the cold shoulder because he did not weigh so-and-so or was not of such-and-such a height. The scene seems to be changing, however. The season of 1911 saw more midgets performing in the big leagues than ever before. And they were not the weak members of the teams with which they played. On the contrary, some of them were the stars of their clubs. In almost every position on the diamond the little fellows were represented by some star. Some of them are: Outfield—Josh Devore, New York Glants; Birdle Cree, New York Yankees; Tommy Leach, Pittsburg; Second base—Miller Huggins, Cardinals; Knabe, Philadelphia Nationals. Shortstop—Manager Bobby Wallace, St. Louis Americans; Hauser, Cardinals; Owen Bush, Detroit. Third base—Bobby Byrne, Pittsburgh Pirates; Elberfeld, Washington. Pitcher—Jack Warhop, New York Yankees. Catcher—Jimmy Stephens, St. Louis Americans. Every one of these is a bona fide midget star. Bustling Busy Browns Mordecal Brown of the Cubs and "Buster" Brown of the Rustlers will have to go some next season to hold their honors as the leading Brown curvers in the fast set. President Bob Hedges of the St. Louis Brown has picked up two Browns for trials next spring, a "Lefty" Brown and a "Righty" Brown. The southpaw variety hails from Burlington of the Central association and appears to be the original "Strike-Out Kid." Among his recent feats are two sixteen strike-out games in two days, while he also has an eighteen and a nineteen strike-out game to his credit. "Righty" Brown is pitching for Akron, O., and has won twenty out of twenty-four games to date. mail from any part of un- served States. Send postoffice order. Mme.

Landslide of Good Acts Are Coming Down the Stroll and Every Act Receives its Full Share of Applause. 1 The above is an excellent likeness of Miss Mae Moore, who is associated with Mr. Frank D. Witherls in the capacity of musical assistant. Miss Moore is one of Chicago's best saxophonists and is decidedly proficient as a trombonist and pianist. Mr. Frank D. Witherls of the entertainers is a product of San Francisco, Cal., and was sent for by the management of the Bowman cafe—where the couple are employed—to take charge of the music of the cafe. Mr. Witherls is one of San Francisco's most brilliant musicians and his employees are highly clated at having secured his services. Madam Sallie Jones-Downs left Tuesday for Memphis, Tennessee, and will tour the south until about Dec. 1. She will appear in piano recital at Turner Normal College in Shelbyville, Tenn., of which college her brother, Dr. J. A. Jones, is the president in charge. Mr. Terrevous Douglas has written a drama dealing with the Negroes of the West Indies. Efforts are being made toward the staging of "The Flower of Hayti," a Negro legitimate drama produced at the Pekin theater Thanksgiving, 1909, and written by J. Fenton Johnson. We hope the Pekin theater secures this attraction. The Grand, with its mixed bill, is giving to its patrons all their money calls for. Burke and Barton are very clever and do some good comedy. But Mr. Barton is too clearly of Jewish descent to make Mr. Burke's little dabs at tasting him about his nationality of any great effect; and, boys, just a wee mite less of remarks bordering on the vulgar will put your stock much higher. Brown and Dek, a duo of colored girls, are making their act felt. They dress becomingly, sing sweetly and their dancing is unique. Miss Brown exhibits won- derful agility in her dancing. It is surely kind of Providence that she is well jointed as some portion, say, arms or her trim little feet would surely dissolve partnership with the rest of her body. Joe Simms is good, but several of his efforts in monologue have been heard before. Mr. Simms is a born comedian and more up-to-date things are expected. The hit of the bill is the Era Comedy Four, a quartet of the finest looking boys—I should have said a trio of fine looking boys, as the fourth one in black face will remain to those who look at him across the footlights a question mark. He is funny, well, just because he is, and every witticism is made to score and one is almost made to believe that not only is the black on his face false but the face itself as he can place his mouth and nose at some of the most absurd angles. The singing of the quartet is worth the price of admission and their very classy dress and pleasing personalities makes you feel proud of your own race. Davis and Cooper are very good. Miss Cooper is the "piece de resistance" of this act with her pretty baby face, sweet voice and beautiful gowns, she makes a stunning partner for the very aristocratic Mr. Davis. The playlet of "Our Wife," as played by that very clever actor, Frank Rutledge and Co., was a lesson worth the while pondering over. Mr. Rutledge at no time overdid his part and he was ably assisted by his fellow players. The orchestra under the leadership of the inimitable David Peyton is one of the strong features of this beautiful playhouse. They are giving to the patrons such excellent interpretations of all classes of music. The management must be quite proud of them as they are not only players but interpreters of their work. At the Monogram. Although the Monogram is not as large as the Grand it still houses some of the best colored talent in the vaudeville world today and the question uppermost in my mind is, why, for the benefit of patrons and reporters, does not the Monogram give to its followers the convenience of a program? The house is one of the best patronized places in the city and the much needed guide for the show is not only necessary but one of the many things that improve the order of things. Minor and Borton are very good. Mr. Minor has been seen and is well known along the stroll. He is of the Jerry Mills type of dancer and does some clever work in the singing of his songs, which are both big hits. Miss Borton dresses well and is good looking enough to be on the stage with any one. They have an excellent dialogue which they handle fast and furious but every word is distinct and produces applause. Mayweather and Brown were a scream in their act. Mayweather as Ida was a side-splitter and Miss Brown as Ida's lover made the sweetest boy. She recalled to mind our own Adah Overton Walker as she looked singing "Shine" with the E. H. Dudley Co. and Miss Brown sings, and don't forget it! The act is AI. Goodie and Goodie did much to make the show a success. Mr. Goodie is one of our best come- ...AMATIC dians and he wears his clothes like what he wishes to appear, namely, a lucky manipulator of the dice. They both know how to dress and to appear to advantage in their act. Thomas and Ward are undoubtedly two of the most exquisite dressers that have ever appeared at the Monogram. Their clothes are not what you call, "Keep me behind the footlights," but are the kind that says, "Take me out in the sunlight and examine." Everything is strictly up-to-date and are worn by the couple with all elegance. Mr. Thomas is a marvel in his dancing and does a clog dance on roller skates that almost makes your hair stand on end. I trust Mr. Thomas will kindly refrain from making his brief speech to the young men. It is unnecessary and detracts from his otherwise excellent work. Mr. Thomas is too distinguished looking to be funny. His fort is straight work and with the cute little Miss—who is, by the way, one of the daintest and most captivating little assistants—there is no need of so much comedy. Good songs, good dancing and your fine clothes will make this act all O. K. without the comic part. The Phoenix has some fine pictures. Whatever appears at this little house must be of the best as its big sister next door is setting a high standard. The singing is good and it merits every praise. The Pekin. The Pekin, as promised, presents a strong bill this week, bringing to the fore many of the leading vaudeville stars. The Shattuck Comedy Four are comedy personified. They leave nothing to be desired. They make up well, dance well, sing well and talk ```markdown ``` A woman in a white dress holding a bouquet of flowers stands in front of a table with books. MRS. ELNORA MANSON. PIANIST. well, so what more do we want? Charles Gilpin is his own exceptional self. Nothing need be said. Well, in fact we need say only that, the artist, Charles Gilpin, is in a class by himself. The McCarrers are too well known to need further introduction. They are clean, neat and up-to-date in their work and when dancing is spoken of—well, that's their "middle name." One of the most charming women on the vaudeville stage today is Miss Ada Banks. At times her mannerisms are a little too affected and it would be well for her to subdue the same as her beautiful voice and piano playing are more than enough to place her in the front rank of artists. However, Miss Banks is sweet to look upon and she convincingly demonstrated at the Pekin that she is an educated musician. Wise and Milton are of course always good and never get in wrong. Alonzo Moore is a magician all right and can make you feel decidedly creepy with his wonderful work. The boys of the Pekin orchestra are among some of the best musicians in the business and when they play an overture you realize that their music has all the proverbial charms to "soothe even a savage beast." Another great bill has been secured for the week beginning Monday, Oct. 2, consisting of all star colored artists. The following acts will be seen: Chicago Comedy Four, singers and instrumentalists; Gilmore, Kinky and Gilmore, in a novel and unique offering; Miss Fanny Wise, the well known operatic singer, in an entirely new album of songs; Mr. Frank Kirk will be seen for the first time on the stroll in his original creation, the "Trump Musician"; Mr. Kirk plays music on any old thing; Bailey & Bailey, the fashion plates of singing and dancing and their revival of cake walking. This monster bill closes with the very laughable comedy sketch entitled, "His Other Wife." The Pekin is now keeping up a very high standard of colored acts and by the large attendance the public must be getting its money's worth. Every- --- The Phoenix. The Pekin JING is being able to make the Pikin amusement resort for all people who have race pride. Let the crowds keep coming. The management will do its utmost to please all. Notes. The Black Patti show, which is at the Alhambra this week, played to full houses. The crowning climax of the week was the marriage on the stage after the show Tuesday night of Mr. Zel Bleandux to Miss Tillel Sequin by Rev. Roberts of Bethel church. Mr. John L. Grant was best man and Miss Estelle Watts was bridesmaid. Prof. Cotter of Louisville, Ky., is the author of "The Degenerate," a five act drama concerning the pro- gress of the American Negro. The literary editor of the Courier Journal gave it an excellent write-up. MRS. ELNORA MANSON, PIANIST A VERY CLASSIC MUSICAL EVENT The lecture-recital given by Mrs. Elnora Manson and Miss Ada Lou Mitchell Thursday evening, September 28, was listened to by an intelligent and music loving audience which comfortably filled Grace Presbyterian church, though the evening was very disagreeable. The story of Peer Gynt (pronounced "Pare Geent"), as written by the great Ibsen and told us by Mrs. Manson, was indeed interesting, so distinctly and clearly was every word spoken, one could almost fancy they were reading the story themselves. Mrs. Manson is not blessed with a robust voice, and in the more dramatic climaxes, where considerable power of delivery is required, the lecturer was insufficient. But so sweet and gentle is her voice, and so potent is her every expression that one was as if entranced and imagined Mrs. Manson was making a brilliant climax, when in reality her voice con- 1910 tinued on in its soft, sweet lullaby strain. In the "Love Song" of Solveig, Mrs. Manson was best, giving to it the longing, loving feeling with marked intelligence. The poem picture, so graphically told by Mrs. Manson, was also most beautifully interpreted by Miss Ada Lou Mitchell at the piano. If any skepticism ever dwelt in the hearts of Chicago's musical circle as to Miss Mitchell's ability as a pianist, her efforts on Thursday evening have forever dispelled any such feeling. In her musical interpretation of Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite she displayed faculty for great artistic development. Miss Mitchell's knowledge of interpretation and technic is far beyond the average and this places her among the leading young pianists of today. Every tone picture was vividly portrayed. In the "Storm Scene" for plano, one seemingly could hear the cries of those in distress, every feature was treated with artistic finish. "Anitra's Dance" was thoroughly enjoyed, as it is more or less a familiar number, and was given all daintiness and coutechnish in Miss Mitchell's rendering of same; as was also "Morning" of the Grieg Suite. The story of Peer Gynt deals with the many adventures of a Norwegian hunter of such immoral character that it seemed nothing good ever entered his mind. However, after years of a life of debauchery, Peer Gynt returns to his home, broken in spirit, old and penitent. His wife, Solveig, now old and gray, receives and forgives him. This story was more creditably depicted by Mrs. Manson and Miss Mitchell. The many handsome floral gifts of the evening to both artists bespoke their popularity.

REAL MADAME "SANS-GENE" Story of Adventurous Career of Marie Therese Figueur in the French Army. Everyone knows the washerwoman who was so familiar with Napoleon in Victorien Sardou's play, "Madame Sans-Gene," but the real "Sans-Gene" who lived at that time was a dragon in one of the great Corsican's armies and spent twenty years in camps and barracks, in campaigns and battles over Europe. In the Musee de L'Armee in Paris a special case has just been installed inside which stands her equestrian statue. Her real name was Marie Therese Figueur and she was born in Burgundy in 1774. When nineteen, at the end of the reign of terror, she enrolled in a cavalry regiment commanded by one of her uncles and soon acquired the nickname of "Sans-Gene." Mme. Sans-Gene fought in Germany with the French and Batavian armies, charged at Hohenlinden, took part in the siege of Toulon, was in the Italian, Spanish and Austrian campaigns and fought at Austerlitz and in Russia. During the Hundred Days the emperor conferred the Legion of Honor upon her and she charged at Waterloo for the last time. With the Restoration she left the army to get married. She was then thirty-nine. In the course of her marital career Sans-Gene had five horses shot under her and was wounded eight times in different engagements. She died in hospital in 1861. In Praise of Poetry The old hymn says: "Religion never was designed to make our pleasures less," and the same thing ought to be said about poetry. The distaste for poetry arises from the habit of treating it as if it were only a more difficult kind of prose. . . . The prosaic commentary obscures the beauty of the text.—C. M. Crothers.

Lexington, Mo., Sept. 29.—If some of our young men of Lexington know how foolish and ignorant it is to kiss their sweethearts' hands on the public streets I am sure they would stop it. Any young lady or girl who permits her best follow to do such a trick is unlady-like. This thing of boys and young men stealing kisses from our girls and young women on the public streets should be stopped. The Court of Fame Friday night, Sept. 22, at the Zion Chapel A. M. E. church the members of the Court of Fame rendered one of the very best plays that have ever been seen in our city for quite a long time. Each and every member played his or her part well. The quartet, "Cosey Flat," by B. Warcuff W. Allen, R. Trazier and R. Allen was a great hit. A large audience was present. Short addresses were delivered by Revs. Jackson and G. Hays. Refreshments were served in the basement. Every one had a joyful time, especially the young men and women. The members of the Court of Fame should be given great credit for the way their carried out their program, which was as printed below: Invocation; chorus of voices by members of the Court. Minerva, Aina Webb; Mercury, Maggie Johnson; Elizabeth, Goldie Tolbert; Mary, Gracie Frazier; Joan of Arc, Aree Webb; Zenobia, Gladys Hicklin; duct, "Smarty," Henrietta Hawkins and Floyd Brown; Empress Josephine, Ollie Hancock; Pocahontas, Auline Freeman; Katherine, Jennett Woodson; quartet, "Cosey Flat," Beatrice Workkuff, Wendell Allen, Rosa Frazier and Richard Allen; Cleopatra, Myrtle Gordon; Priscilla, Fannie Johnson; Eugenia, Katie Porter; Cornelia, Amelia Lewis; Columbia, Glover Hawkins. Miss E. M. Hunter Returns. Mr. Hunter Returns. Last Tuesday, Miss Eva M. Hunter returned to Lexington from Jefferson City, Mo. of being very sick. She had only spent two weeks at Lincoln institute but on account of being sick she came home. At this writing Miss Hunter is none the worse and is able to be out again. It has not been reported whether she will return to Lincoln institute or remain at home with her parents in Lexington, Mo. Hurt in Coal Mines. It has been reported to this office that Jumbo Botton was badly hurt in the coal mines Friday night, Sept. 22, by a rock falling on him. His injuries are quite painful. His many friends wish him a speedy recovery. Jumbo is the son of Mr. Frank Botton and is well known to everybody in Lexington. His Last Sermon. Rev. J. H. Allen, pastor of Zion Chapel A. M. E. church, delivered his winding-up sermon Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. At 3 o'clock the pastor of the Campbellite church was to deliver a sermon but he failed to be present and a speaking meeting was held. During the evening service Rev. C. G. Chinn of the Second Baptist church delivered one of the most powerful sermons that was ever heard in Zion chapel. The Second Baptist choir rendered some of its very best music. The collection at the evening service was $22, a large crowd being present. We wish to thank Rev. Chinn and his congregation and Rev. Jackson and his members for their kindness in assisting us in our services. Also the many friends who assisted us in the meetings. The report of dollar money raised by our beloved pastor, who has been laboring with us during his one year as pastor of Zion Chapel A. M. E. church will be announced in next week's issue. During the past six months our list of subscribers for The Defender, has been getting smaller instead of larger. We don't get enough money to pay Editor Abbot for setting up the news of our city and unless we get more regular customers in Lexington to subscribe for this paper in the next two months we will be forced to cut out the Lexington column. As many colored people as we have in our city we ought to have not less than 150 regular subscribers, but we as a race love to read too many of the white man's newspapers instead of our own race journals. HARD BATTLE FOR THE DOG Sport Killed the Big Bob Cat, but He Suffered Severely In the Combat. After a battle in which he came near meeting death himself, Sport, a medium sized coach dog, the property of W. M. Butterbaugh, a rancher living in Lemp's Gulph, Idaho, killed a bob cat that measured six feet from nose to tip of tail. The dog was terribly scratched and bitten and has not yet entirely recovered. He was mauled by the long, sharp claws of the big cat and in some places the scratches are deep, digging clear to the bone. The cat would weigh half again as much as the dog, and towered above him in height. Mr. Butterbaugh did not see the fight, but arrived on the scene shortly after the dog had killed the cat and found his faithful friend lying on the ground, unable to move, and scarcely living. It looked at the time like a bad case, but he succeeded in nursing the animal back to life. "For some days we had been missing chickens." Mr. Butterbaugh said, "and I was unable to figure out what was killing them. I would get up in the morning and find one or two lying dead in the barnyard, still warm, and I could not tell what sort of an animal was doing the mischief. "But Sport figured it out, and one morning I heard him take out after something. I got up as soon as I could and followed up the gulch, expecting that they would take that trail. When I got there I found the dog lying on the ground and the big cat dead. "The dog had chased him up there, but the cat had turned on him and shown fight. They must have fought there 15 minutes before the battle was settled. And from the looks of both the cat and the dog it must have been a terrible battle." Vanity. A real friendship with a vain woman lacks comfort and sincerity. Wound for a second her vanity and the friendship snaps. Many people wonder at the attraction of women who are undeniably plain, but it often has its root in the fact that they are lacking in vanity. They are not constantly absorbed in their own charms, so have time to admire those of other people, consequently they are seldom lacking in friends. Vanity is not altogether an attribute of the grown-up. One sees it frequently developed to an alarming extent in young children. Nor is it a matter for amusement. Rather should every mother strive to uproot this tendency. Ridicule is one of the swiftest ways of extinguishing it. Children should be taught not to attach importance to whatever physical charms they may possess. Beautiful eyes, a lovely mouth or a delightful nose should not be subjects of comment, but if commented upon at all should be lightly done, for no child should be started in life with the handicap of vanity—Exchange. Ancient Roman Long Branch The sen coast of *currentum* may have been in favor with the fashionable and the wealthy for a brief space of time under Augustus and his immediate successors, but was given up quite soon to parvenues and merchants and retired officers, and the same set of noisy people who haunt at the present day the popular watering places of the world. To make the analogy more striking, an inscription has been found at La Capocotta singing the praises of a wealthy Jew, and revealing the fact that a synagogue had been built at Ostia for the use of the Semitic "villeggianti" on the neighboring coast.

"Rammage," observed the man with the cropped mustache, "this is a land of plenty. I could be perfectly happy here." "You wouldn't though, Ruggles," returned the man with the auburn beard. "I'll bet you a dollar that the first man you congratulate on his prosperity will put up a howl about his hard luck." "You're on." Ten minutes later they stopped at a farmhouse, ostensibly to get a drink of water. "You've got the finest yield of grapes in that vineyard," casually remarked Ruggles, "I ever saw in my life." "Yes," gloomed the fruit raiser; "I've got too gumball many grapes this year. I can't git half enough baskets to ship 'em in." "Rammage, you win," said Ruggles. And they rode on. In Touch. Always. "It is odd that pickpockets are such an unpopular class." "I can't see why they should be popular." "Don't they always keep in touch with the multitude?"

Music and Manners Tsu Kung, a pupil of Confucius, said, "In any country it is only necessary to hear its music in order to know if its manners and customs are good or bad." New Songbird is Most Popular in the Gay Capital and Fetches High Price. The Parisian has an amiable little weakness for the canary. Every street echoes to the song of this noisy bird, and in the holiday time, when families are away, there are conderges who more or less restricted quarters are positively cumbered with cages of canaries left in their charge by absent tenants. But in or out of the season the bird market is held every Sunday in the year in the City Island and a lively trade in canaries is always done. The best songsters in the market come from an old house close by the market, where lives an ornithologist who spends his life in teaching canaries to sing, and he has now, after some years of effort, produced a pure white canary with a song as powerful and sweet as any yellow or green bird ever sold. The supply of the white canary being at present strictly limited, those that were sold last Sunday fetched comparatively high prices; but they had all the honors of the day, and for the few hours that they adorned the stall they were the center of an admiring and wondering crowd. There are plenty of canaries that are nearly white, but this bird is as white as a dove, without any speck of yellow on his plumage. The Parisian has his own special way of transporting his canaries to the cage that awaits them at his home. The bird is placed in a small paper bag and planned to the lapel of his coat.—Paris Correspondence London Standard. Both Delighted. Two elderly gentlemen, both decently clothed in sober black, were sitting side by side in a Euclid avenue car, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Each was reading a morning paper. Suddenly one of the men uttered an exclamation of pleasure and the other peered at him over his glasses. "I see here," explained the first with a beaming face, "that Mr. B., who died last week, has left his entire fortune to various charitable enterprises. This will be a surprise to his many relatives. It is to me a glad surprise in my case, for I am the pastor of a church to which he has left $10,000." The second man looked at the article and his face, too, became wreathed in smiles. "God bless him!" he exclaimed heartily. "All to charitable institutions in spite of his relatives! Ah, sir, I like to see money left like that. I do, indeed!" "Are you also a clergyman?" "No, sir. I am a lawyer." Children and Firearms Again Children and Firearms Again. Little Anna Quinn, fourteen years old, was instantly killed the other day at Lowell, Mass., by the explosion of a revolver held by her playmate, Thela Borg, aged twelve years. The two children, with Sonia Borg, a sister of Thela, and another play-fellow, were playing about the Borg home when they discovered the revolver. After all had looked at it, Anna playfully held it against the heart of Thela Borg. "I'm going to kill you," she said, smiling. The trigger was pulled, but the revolver failed to explode. Once more the weapon was examined by the children and then Thela Borg took it and placed it close to the Quinn child's head. Playfully she exclaimed: "You killed me; now I'm going to kill you." She fired. This time the weapon exploded.

All Up-to-Date Hotel News and News of Bell Hops. Mr. O. Smith, recently employed as a waiter at the Baltimore hotel in Kansas City, Kas., has accepted a position at the Hotel Burlington, Burlington, Ia. Mr. Smith speaks in highest terms of the service of the Baltimore hotel and brings word that Mr. McKnight, formerly one of Chicago's best head waiters, is making good in the capacity of head man at the Baltimore. At the recent annual convention of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, held in a Chicago hotel, a screen was erected at the speakers' end of the convention room. When one of the engineers was wanted at the telephone or outside the hall the information was flashed on the screen by means of a stereoicon. Jumping to the conclusion that the scheme dooms pages in hotels, a newspaper reporter perpetrated the following: Wm. Dean of Atlanta, Ga., who has been for years an employee in the Piedmont hotel of said great city, left the land of the sunny south to come north. Dean, of course, had his right eye set on the "mecca" of the north—Chicago—and after strolling on the stroll he could not praise old Chi. enough. Later he signed to open a hotel in Burlington, la., remaining several months in that city. Another hotel company, seeing Mr. Dean so ably filling the position on the side, concluded the gentleman would be the man for the place of head waiter in the Commercial club of Davenport, la. With a crew of ten men from Chicago, Dean has accepted the position offered him and on the 26th left for Davenport. On the opening day of said club the crew will serve an old fashioned clam bake and each man will receive for his services on this day $3. The Defender wishes for Mr. Dean and his men every success.

The Bradley is a very popular hotel and nothing but a big business is expected. The colored porter of a hotel in an Iowa town announces his hostelry at the station as "the leadenist hotel what's in this hyar town." John Ford, one of old Chi's favorites among the hotel and cafe boys, has left these haunts for those of Burlington, Ia., to be one of the boys at the Burlington hotel. Mr. Ford is very popular in south side society and no doubt he will prove the same in Burlington. Good wishes from The Defender, Mr. Ford. In the supreme court of Minnesota Augusta Bark, formerly chambermaid at a Minneapolis hotel, was awarded $300 damages against her employer on the grounds that she was made ill by btained meat given her as food at the hotel. She lost the case in the lower court and appealed. The Minneapolis Hotel and Restaurant Keepers' Association investigated this case and after a thorough discussion declared the hotel keeper was in no way to blame for the girl's illness. Samuel Adams, the reporter on hotel news in the Chicago Defender, has succeeded J. J. Miles as head waiter at the Hotel Burlington in city of same name. It is one of the finest European hotels in the state of Iowa. Mr. Neip, proprietor of said hotel, wrote Adams requesting his acceptance of position. The position was accepted and Mr. Adams left on the 20th for Burlington where he is meeting with fine success and business is good.

On invitation, it was decided that the Zion Forum would furnish the program for the Standard Literary society on Oct. 8. The paper read by Mr. W. A. Wallace, Chicago's foremost colored baker, entitled, "What Are You Doing?" was very interesting and instructive. Many comments were made and much wholesome instruction suggested.. The solo by Mrs. Delliah Thomas was well received. The program committee announced a good program for next Tuesday evening. DODGE THE POSTAGE STAMP Foreign Countries Devising Schemes for Benefit of Large Users of the Mails. Any man who can devise a practical substitute for the postage stamp will deserve the gratitude of every fine business house in the world, and may be of large fortune. For the labor of affixing stamp to their enormous mail necessitates in some firms the employment of a special clerical staff. In the postoffice of some countries steps in this direction have already been taken. Here, for instance, newspapers and magazines are mailed by their publishers in bulk without stamps, and the postage is paid in a lump sum of one cent a pound. Then, again, some firms that send out large quantities of circulars register themselves under a certain number at the postoffice, their envelopes are printed with this number and the circulars so mailed are paid for in bulk. In Bavaria large consignments of letters may merely be postmarked by machinery and sent without stamps, the postage fee being paid in a lump sum at the time of mailing. It is said that since February 1, 1910, this system has saved the Bavarian postoffice the expense for paper and the printing cost for 10,000,000 stamps. A writer in the Umschau, a German publication, suggests a further development of this system along the lines of a meter, like those used for water, gas and electricity, in which the letters would be placed and automatically stamped with a postmark the machine recording each letter so mailed. These machines would be inspected periodically and the bills collected, just as are those of the consumer of gas or water. An Incident of the Road. "Stop!" cried the man in the road. "You are exceeding the speed limit." "That's all nonsense," retorted Binks, bringing his car to a standstill. "That's what they all say," said the man in the road, climbing into the car. "You can tell your story to the magistrate at Hinktown—just seven miles up the road. Start along, please." They drove on in silence to Hinktown, where, as the car drew up in front of the courthouse, the man in the road got out. "Much obliged for the lift," said he. "You can settle that matter of speed with the magistrate if you want to. As a stranger in these here parts I don't think my word would go for much." The Detroit Board of Commerce invites You to Read Their Offer, Then Send In a Good Suggestion in Order That You May Win an Auto. In Detroit they are looking for a name for their annual Water Carnival. A handsome new Flanders automobile is to be awarded to the person suggesting the best name. There are no strings tied to this offer—a few minutes of thought and a little originality and the auto may be yours. The contest is open to people everywhere. 1. The City of the Straits is ideally situated for a gigantic water fete such as is proposed. The beautiful Detroit river with its crystal-clear water flows by on its way to Lake Erle, only sixteen miles away. Lying right opposite Detroit is her renowned fair-land, Belle Isle, a great island park, which is generally conceded to be the most beautiful in all the world. Up stream, just ten miles, is Lake St. Clair, and farther on, the Venice of America, Detroit's unique summer resort. Detroit's water front is twenty-four miles in length, and across the river, Canada affords a similar stretch of river front. So, from the many vantage points hundreds of thousands can see the magnificent river spectacle by day and by night. The carnival of 1912 will be held during the week of July 24. The Detroit Board of Commerce appreciates the magnitude of this event and so has offered the Flanders car as a prize. The name must be "catchy" and in some way characteristic of Detroit. The contest closes October 16, and all names must be sent to the Contest Committee of the Detroit Board of Commerce, Detroit, Mich. WAYMAN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. 914 North Franklin St. Rev. H. E.

Wayman has begun the conference year under favorable auspices. Two young men united with the church fast Sunday. The Sunday school, as well as the church, expect to do a great work. A financial plan has been adopted by the church that will assist in bringing about excellent results. The choirs, morning and evening, are planning some new work. Prof. Johnson, with the adult choir, has secured fifteen choir chairs, which will add much to the appearance of the platform. Prof. E. B. Johnson has been in charge of the adult choir for over four years, and has added much to the development of the musical talent on the north side as well as to the work of the church. The morning choir, under the direction of Hilbert Stewart, has made considerable advancement. The choir is preparing to give a musical on the 23d of October. Send your news for the north side to Hilbert Stewart; he will see that it reaches the Defender. Address, 2252 North Clark street, phone Diversey 8197.

Mr. Hand himself is one of the finest bass singers in the country. Some of the same company will be on hand Sunday to assist Mr. De Pugh in rendering the oratorio, "Esther." Rev. Horace S. Graves will preach Sunday at 11 o'clock from the theme, 'And he thanked God and took courage.' The following persons presented Mrs. Horace Graves a handsome present: Mr. S.

DEEP MYSTERY OF THE LAW Man Who Won't Support Family is Imprisoned and Wife Really Pays Penalty. Mysteries, far beyond the comprehension of the average mortal, are constantly revealed in the law and its administration. The other day a much-harassed woman appeared in a Boston court and complained to the judge that her husband refused to support their two small children. She could get along without him, she said, but she demanded that he be compelled to go to work and help support his offspring. Her story was corroborated by witnesses. So the judge found the man guilty and sentenced him to one year in the house of correction. Here was what seems on the surface to be an easy problem. A husband and father, either through disinclination or through inability to find work, is brought into court on a charge of non-support. In order to relieve the situation, he is sent to the house of correction, where he will be kept at work. That he is not able to send his pay envelope home to his family every Saturday night—because there is no pay envelope in such cases—is, in the eye of the law, a minor circumstance. The main thing seems to be that the man has been guilty of an offense and that he is punished for it. He is punished, but it is his wife and his two helpless children who pay the penalty. The law may be ironical, but it has no sense of humor. "You have been found guilty of not supporting your children," it says. "and therefore I will send you where you cannot support them." Authentic. Indubitable. Truth No mere man ever recognized a woman by the style of her dress. How a woman dresses a man does not remember five minutes; but how she looks he does. Ohio State Journal. Distrust. "That man wants to know whether you are going to stand by him," said the political assistant. "I'm obliged to," replied Senator Sorghum. "It wouldn't be safe not to stand by him close enough to watch him." The Two Classes. The man who is looking for trouble is a source of endless wonderment to the men who can't get away from it.

Chung Lee, a rich Chinese shrimp fisher and owner of a store in this city, is a prisoner here charged with holding white men in bondage in Bayou Barataria, once the refuge of Laffitte and his band. The federal officers who arrested Lee brought with them nine white men who will appear as witnesses. These men assert they were shanghailed from a boarding house in this city and taken to Manila, a fishing village, and often forced to work 30 hours without rest. Once they escaped and boarded a steamer but were discovered and the captain returned them to the shrimp fisheries, as is the custom of all gulf shipmasters when refugees are discovered That such a condition could prevail for years without discovery in a territory comparatively near to a large American city will be received with incredibility by those who know nothing of the topography of that country. But to those who have pushed their way only a few miles into the wilderness, the surprise is that anything going on there should ever be known to the rest of the Romantic Notions of Cowgirls Gone Romantic Notions of Cowgirls Gone K ANSAS CITY. Mo.-When E. L. Poindexter came out west from the east in 1906 he had all kinds of romantic ideas about cowboys, wild Indians, cowgirls and life on the plains. Finding life in Oklahoma City little different from that in the east, he went out on a ranch near Tulsa, in search of the little romance left in western life. There he wooed and wed a ranchman's daughter. In a week he knew what it was to be a real tenderfoot. His wife told him to wash the dishes. He refused. She reached for her revolver, pointed at him in a threatening manner and told him to dance. He made such a terrible mess of dancing she told him to stop that and take up the dish rag. "That's a pretty dear; now kiss me," she said to him after he had washed, dried and stacked the dishes away. Then she put the revolver away. He hid it. That would end her wild west methods, he thought. "I will rule the roost for a while now," he chuckled to himself. "How about dinner?" the wife inquired of him one evening after she returned from a long ride. "Not ready? Then you had better hustle and get it ready." Not much, he told her. She would City Spends Five Millions for Music NEW YORK.—That the music bill of this city for the season will reach $5,000,000, far exceeding any similar expenditure on record here or abroad, is now indicated by the preparations under way for the greatest musical season ever known. Ten years ago the sum spent in this way amounted to hardly more than $1,000,000. What it will amount to in another decade in view of the ever-increasing demand for music of every character is merely a matter of conjecture. In spite of this great expenditure, ous concert. Ever however, music has not yet become a the public fooths the generally popular form of entertain- it can really enj oment, as is indicated by the fact that worth of music wh the greater part of the $5,000,000 next season remain Bull Terrier a Bathing Beach Hero CHICAGO.—"Grafter," a 35-pound Boston bull terrier owned by Mrs. William Mattery, whose husband is prominent as an aviator, is the hero of his story. The Thirty-ninth street bathing beach is the scene. The "villain" is an English bulldog that, alceded and abetted by six men, had for two weeks, until the appearance of "Grafter," made life miserable for bathers at the beach, especially those who brought their dogs with them, by attacking the bathers and engaging the dogs in fights. Six dogs killed was his record. "Grafter," led by Mrs. Mattery, appeared, at the beach the other afternoon. As had been their custom, the six with the English bulldog in ambush behind a lumber pile, unleashed the animal and set him upon the new arrival as the latter started for a plunge in the lake. "Grafter" had never been in a fight, but he was dog. The older and heavier dog, as a result of his latest encounter, was suffering from a torn shoulder. He dashed to the water's world. As the crow files, Manila is perhaps not more than 40 miles from New Orleans. But so isolated is it by the marshes, the cypress swamps, the canebreaks, the jungles that it might as well be hundreds of miles away. The only egress is a tortuous channel of stagnant water. To attempt to force one's way through the swamps would be to invite death. There are no paths through the wilderness, and the man who strayed a mile through the marshes from the channel would find himself lost, in danger of pitfalls and perpetually at war with poisonous snakes, with deadly malaria menacing him at every step. The peonage system is comparatively simple. Men from the luggers find dockmen along the Mississippi out of work. They offer them jobs, saying that the cost of transportation to the fisheries will be deducted from their wages. Once the men go down the bayou, there is no escape from their masters. They are never allowed to get out of debt. No boatmen will give them passage through the bayou. Manila is one of the largest of the fishing villages, having about 300 residents. Half of them are Fillipinos, supposed to have escaped from Spanish sailing vessels years ago. Stories of how the Fillipinos are held as slaves are as old as the village itself. have to get the dinner herself. In fact, he was very "chesty" in his new role as boss. She reached for that revolver again. It was gone. She went into the kitchen, took up the butcher knife, and in five minutes that "chesty" husband was elbow deep in bread dough and watching the bacon fry. But Mr. Poindexter was an obstinate tenderfoot, and refused to be "conquered." Two months of married life satisfied the wife he wasn't the kind of husband she wanted, so she brought out the new revolver she purchased, ordered him to pack his trunk and move right away. She even followed him to the train. Mr. Polindexter said in a suit for divorce he brought in the circuit court in Kansas City, pointed the revolver at him and told him to get aboard quick, hang on until it passed out of sight at least, and never to return. He hasn't. which it is estimated will be spent in five months for opera, symphony concerts and other forms of musical entertainment will come from music patrons numbering less than 25,000, or less than one per cent. of the city's total population. Probably not more than one person in 500 ever attends the opera, although concerts of various sorts are more widely patronized. Just why New Yorkers will have to foot such an enormous bill for their musical entertainment is indicated by the salaries paid to the artists. A really famous operatic singer receives as much as $2,500 for a single performance, while symphony orchestra leaders are paid as much as $30,000 for a season lasting only four months. Many of these concerts and recitals fail to earn anything. In one case during the last musical season just ten seats were sold for a really meritorious concert. Eventually, however, the public foots the bill, but whether it can really enjoy the 55,000,000 worth of music which it will absorb next season remains to be seen. edge and "Grafter," hearing his challenge, turned and met him. "Grafter" soon was "the under dog," but in a second was on top and ripping up his foe's old wound and seizing his throat. Again the big dog got the advantage and "Grafter" went down. Finally "Grafter" managed to break loose and Mrs. Mattery grabbed up her pet. She had attached his strap and was about to lead him away when one of the men sent the other dog in again. "Grafter" broke his strap and within three minutes had ripped the other animal's throat. The big dog dled that night. "I hope after this you will let my dog alone," declared Mrs. Mattery, as she led "Grafter" away. TAKE MOTHER TO BALL GAME Young Man. Gives Up In Despair When Sweetheart Asks Him to Prove His Love for Her. "You say that you love me," she remarked, and there was the suggestion of a challenge in her tone. "I do," he fervently replied. "You have many times assured me that you would do anything to prove your affection for me." "Darling, I am ready to dare anything to convince you that my love for you is no light thing which is likely to end tomorrow. Put me to the test. If it will make you happy to see me climb a flag-pole I will do it. If you wish me to risk my life in a motorcycle race, say the word and I will become a daredevil I would be willing to fool with a rusty gun if I might in that way convince you that my love for you is deep and all-embracing. If it would make you glad I would undergo the ordeal of riding on a scenic railway in an amusement park. There is no risk, no danger, that I would not dare for you." "I shall not ask you to do any of the foolhardy things you have mentioned, but if you really care for me won't you please take mother to the ball game tomorrow? She has never seen one and is anxious to go with some one who will be able to explain it to her." With a wild cry of despair he took his hat and left. She had asked too much.
