Ulrich, the Bigamist Who Assaulted the Educator of Tuskegee, Must Answer and Tell the Court Why He Thought It Was—He Pleads Time and Is Given Until Nov. 6 to Answer. ULRICH SAYS, "I THOUGHT HIM A COMMON NIGGER." Regardless of Way Most Race Men Do Dr. Washington Hires Race Lawyer to Defend Him and White Lawyers Give Their Services to Show That They Will No Longer Stand for Foreigners to Maltreat an American Citizen. The people of the state of New York were represented by Assistant District Attorney James E. Smith. Dr. Washington's personal attorney, Wilford H. Smith, was present as consulting attorney. Ulrich has continued to have this case delayed each time it has been called for trial, hoping that Dr. Washington would drop the prosecution; today, through his counsel, he again pleaded for delay, claiming that he had not been able to get his witnesses into court—this despite the fact that he has had seven months to do so. District Attorney Smith opposed the motion, claiming that Ulrich had no witnesses, and that his plea for delay was simply an effort to avoid the consequences of his brutal and uncalled-for assault. The judges decided they would give him one more chance, and have set his case down for trial Monday, Nov. 6. Dr. Washington has notified the district attorney's office that he will cancel the series of engagements he has for Wisconsin and the West, made long since, so as to be in court and prosecute Ulrich. The assault occurred several months ago, and Ulrich at that time told contradictory stories of what led to it. To the police he said that he had taken Dr. Washington for a burglar, but to the reporters he said that Dr. Washington had insulted Mrs. Ulrich, his wife. Ulrich, however, was never married to the woman he claimed was his wife, and the real wife of Ulrich, who lives in New Jersey and was deserted by him several years ago, confronted him in court when was today arraigned for trial. A letter has reached the editor from Mrs. W. B. Derrick stating how much she regretted not being in the city to attend the reception given for the Grace Presbyterian baseball team, Mrs. Derrick expressed her great interest in the team in most convincing words. She said in part: "I rejoice with all my heart at the success of 'our boys'' great victory. They deserve great credit and have earned all the honors that they may receive. They have no stronger friend than I, for they were my boys in the Sunday school class of which I was the teacher. I would like also to state that I was not at home as was reported in The Defender but in Canada at the time and while I would like to have attended the banquet I had not the slightest idea of doing so on account of being so far away." ny.

A splendid meeting was held at the home, 3530 Forest avenue, Wednesday, Oct. 18. A goodly number came and enjoyed the splendid program arranged by the chairman of the literature section. Many visitors were present and several new members were enrolled. Splendid talks were given by all. The Rev. May Vigel gave a most interesting history of Phyllis Wheatly from the time of her arrival in Boston, Mass. Mrs. Hardiman, our matron, gave a most excellent paper, also a talk by Mrs. Harris of Pittsburgh, Pa., and talks Mrs. Ida Johnson and Mrs. Jer. These ladies gave donation so to the home.

This question is in the minds of the numerous friends of J. R. Trot, for J. R. lost rather heavy on the New York baseball team and he was seen making his way into the city in an auto (nlt) and we wondered if his shoes lasted until he reached the city. You have our sympathy, Trot, as we have all heard the fatal whisper at some time which said to us, "You lose." And then comes the feeling that you must walk. Sometimes it comes because we are blue, other times it comes from necessity, because we are "broke." How did it happen, J. R? Let us help you bear your burden. s Field-Adam and, Mr. v.

She and the Young Ladies Were Away From Home at the Time of Grace Baseball Victory. A PLEASANT SURPRISE For Mr. Charles Jackson, Undertaker. Mr. Charles Jackson, 3249 State street, has been given the most pleasing as well as the most profitable surprise he has received for a long time. It has been his ambition to enter some of his fast horses in the select Washington Park Driving club (white). Oil making application he was informed that the club had disbanded but what was his surprise and joy to receive recently the information of reorganization of the club and he was informed that not only was his membership accepted but that he had been elected secretary. This is the first time one of the race has held a position of this kind and the office carries with it a great amount of responsibility as the club is one of much prominence. Mr. Jackson has the hearty congratulations of the Defender. FREDERICK DOUGLASS LIFE INSURANCE CO. FOR CHICAGO. Cleveland, O., Oct. 20.—Chicago will have within her gates Sunday, Oct. 22, the Hon. H. T. Eubanks of Cleveland, O., a former member of the Ohio legislature. Mr. Eubanks is representing the financial department of the Frederick Douglass Life Insurance Co.; in which he is desirous of arousing the interest of Chicagoans in regard to pruning stock in this com- COURT OFFICIAL NOT GENTEEL. Acts Like Man Used to Driving Cattle—Should Be In Stock Yards Instead of Court Room. Why is it when some men hold official positions they become more like cattle herders than gentlemen and seem to forget that the higher the vocation the more refined should be the party holding it. Not so with some of the bailiffs connected with Judge Newcomer's court. Therein are to be found balliffs whose manner to unfortunate smacks very strongly of the tough element of the western country. Not only does it bespeak rowdyism but also of cowardice for because of the fact that they are under the protection of the city government as officers of the law they must drive the prisoners around like dogs when as a matter of fact some of the prisoners are far superior in every quality to the bailiff who buildozen them because he is an officer. But make of him just a citizen and he will draw in his horns. For any man who will take advantage of a defenseless person is no man at all, and in the name of humanity we ask the judge under whose jurisdiction such monsters exploit their brutal nature to inform us if such treatment of prisoners really meets the approval of the refined and intelligent judges sitting in the honored seats of the courts of the city of Chicago? If it does, then steps should be taken by the people of the city to have such approbation stricken from the courts. If it is not approved by the judges then we ask them, not only for humanity but for decency, to rid themselves of such unfavorable attaches. CHICAGO'S MOST BEAUTIFUL TON SORIAL PARLOR. And the Owner and Builder of the Art. Fully eleven years ago one H. O. Woods lived in a humble way in the then unpretentious neighborhood of Thirty-fourth and State Sts. But possessing an ambiguous mind Mr. Woods was anything but satisfied with his condition and straightway sought to improve same. So much push and energy did he bring to bear on his resolution to be higher up in the world that today he is the proprietor of one of the finest torsorial parlors to be A. B. Mr. H. O. Woods. found in any large city. It is a pleasure to meet the gentleman, as he beams with an air of prosperity and magnetic good cheer. His parlor, which is called the "Palace of Art," and located at 3436 State St., has every equipment for the serving of guests. It runs four chairs and the barbers, Messrs. Geo. Hill, Pinkney Purcell and Wm. Cook all wear white uniforms. Madame E. McFarland, one of the most competent manicurists in the city, has been engaged for this particular position. The public is cordially invited to come and inspect its every department, which are all kept in the very pink of condition by their competent porter, Mr. Ed. Green. A LUSCIOUS "PEACH" FOR MR. WRIGHT. Worth Was Rewarded to the Gratification of All by the Appointment of This Excellent Man. Topeka, Kans., Oct. 20.—The appointment of Mr. John M. Wright to the position of city treasurer of Topeka, Kans., is highly gratifying to those who know him. There is not a better qualified man for the position in Shawnee county, having served twenty years as deputy county treasurer.

Builds Monuments of His Thrift and Industry. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 20—Perhaps there is no other man contributing more towards racial development and opportunity along industrial lines than Mr. R. S. Holloway, the general contractor and builder, 583 Harrison street, Kansas City, Mo. Mr. Holloway has been a contractor and a very successful one for many years. As monuments to his ability and skill, he can point to the handsome new Grisham flats at 1724 Highland avenue, the splendid flats he built for one Mr. Frank Johnson at Tenth and Woodland, the Wheeler flats, Sixth and Cherry streets, the buildings at 568 and 583 Harrison, the large store room at Sixth and Bales avenue, an elegant residence on 3825 Main and many other smaller buildings elsewhere in the city. Mr. Holloway employs a force of about twenty men, consisting of brick layers, stone masons, carpenters, hod carriers and common laborers, making his weekly payroll average about $350. THE DR. BLUITT SANITARIUM. Ninety-eight Per Cent of Operations Performed Therein Have Recovered —Some of the Most Skillful Doctors and Surgeons in the Race Are There Associated. Dallas, Tex., Oct. 20.—Dr. B. R. Bluitt of Dallas, Texas, owns one of the finest and most complete sanitarians that any member of the race has in the country. It cost over $12,000 and was established in June, 1905. Over four hundred patients have received medical treatment therein. Some of the most skillful operations known to the surgical world have been performed in this institution. It is the proud boast of the management that ninety-eight per cent of all the operative cases treated t THE PROSPEROUS CITY OF WICHITA, KANS. Every Avenue of Advancement Is Being Sounded and Prosperity Is Shown on Every Hand. Wichita, Kans., Oct. 20.—This city has a large population, who are seemingly in a well-to-do condition. Many are engaged in the different kinds of business pursuits and a very large number own their own homes, which in many instances are quite beautiful. Some of the prosperous members of the race here are Mr. Thomas Glover, Seventh and Market streets, who is estimated to be worth about $8,000. Besides his home place, he owns three other valuable residences and a $1,500 automobile. His son is head bookkeeper in the National bank; the Rev. J. H. Vanburen, who not only has some valuable city property, but also owns two or three farms worth about $30,000; Mr. L. France, who is said to own some of the finest farm land in Sedgwick county, about 600 acres valued at $150 per acre. Then there is Mr. W. H. Jones, whose holdings in city realty amount to at least $12,000, while Capt. N. Clark Smith owns a business block and residence combined, located corner Main and Eleventh streets, nearly opposite the county court house, easily worth over $10,000. Captain Smith is the efficient band master of the celebrated Tuskegee Institute band. A COTTON KING IN TEXAS. Miles Motley Modestly Confesses to Owning 1,000 Acres of Cotton and 700 Acres of Corn. Galveston, Tex., Oct. 20.—In Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kansas are thousands who own farm which are well stocked and on whale they live in comfort and content, just as do their white neighbors. The opportunities for any one farming are more and better in the Sh than anywhere else in, or outsidof this country. For instance: Farmers ownearly all the county of which rishall, Tex, is the county seat. Never, this county has the reputationof being one of the most fertile the state. The Galveston News recent had this to say through its correspondent at Brenham, Texas: "Miles May, a farmer who owns a large Brazier farm near Chapel Hill, was Brenham Thursday and when askhow many acres he had in cultivationodestly replied, about six or seventyd in corn and one thousand in cotton. Miles is a frugal, hard-wing man and has made his success life by hardwork and strict attent to business." Mr. Motley, besides owning sral thousand acres of land, control a steam gin, store, etc, and otherwis making good. It is a time worn saying that he is thicker than water, but a visit of a Washington. D. society matron to our city somewhat staggers this well loved adage. This particular incident gives inspiration for a new maxim which will read, "Money is thicker than blood." The lady who visited our shores and inspired the revised adage was highly entertained by the best families here, making her presence felt for good, but buried in her heart there lay a feeling of animosity for a sister who lives here, sad and neglected, because she married a poor man! To what is the world coming when morality must bend the knee to the rule and reign of money? This woman refused to see her sister because of her lack of social and financial prestige, and from the viewpoint of this highly entertained guest we may well conclude that it is not what you have been, nor what you are today, so long as the mantle of society and the helmet of gold covers you. It is too bad that a woman seemingly so fair and sweet should show by the cold neglect of her own blood sister that she was respected for what she is not, "a noble woman." BETHEL LITERARY CLUB WELL ATTENDED. W. A. Wallace Speaks. Quite a large audience greeted Mr. Wallace last Sunday to listen to his address. It was one of the best the club ever heard. Next Sunday Mrs. Cella Paker Woolley will speak. Everybody knows of the great work being done by Mrs. Woolley through Frederick Douglass Center, of which she is president and founder. A musical program will be rendered. Bethel A. M. E. church, Sunday, Oct. 22 at 4 o'clock. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER HAS NO PUBLICATION IN MILWAUKEE. The Defender wishes the fact spread broadcast that the paper now being advertised as the Milwaukee Defender is in no way conceivable. It is a base misrepresentation with the cowardly purpose in view of usurping the name and position of Chicago's own Defender. Fearing that more of our citizens would be deceived in subscribing for a paper they don't want we reify all to look and see if the edi- CHICAGOANS MAKE GOOD IN CANADA Many in Business and on Farms Are Among the Leaders of Industry and Thrift—Many from Armour and Dearborn Streets Who Went Out Poor Are This Year Worth Thousands of Dollars. CANADA NO PLACE FOR LOAFERS—GOOD OPPORTUNITIES FOR COLLEGE MEN WITH TRADES. Thrifty Southerners Have Proven to the Authorities of Canada That the Persecuted Black Man of the South Is Not All That He Is Painted and If Given a Chance He Will Make Good. By Charles of New Orleans Fame. Saskatoon, Canada, Oct. 20—Mr. James H. Lewis of 15 W. 36th street, Chicago, IL, who left our city Aug. 18, 1911, to better his condition, located in Saskatoon, Sask., Canada, a thriving little town on the Saskatchewan river of between 15,000 and 20,000 people, with a very few Negroes—about 20 or 25. Mr. Lewis has studied his people and also the conditions and possibilities that prevail in this particular locality. There seems to be a worthless set of Negroes coming and going all the time, that have no future before them except gambling and drinking and trying to live without working. This seems to hold good throughout the provinces of Saskatoon and Alberta, and he believes that if the better class of Negro would invest his money in farm lands and also city and town property while they can be had at a very low rate, as they will soon be out of the reach of the average Negro, it would have a tendency to better condition in many ways. Mr. Lewis, as the readers of The Letter to an article in the Record-Herald of Sept. 20, 1911, written by Mr. W. E. Curtis, wherein he states that the land will soon be out of reach of the poor man. Now if you were only here you would believe in his statement, and I see so few of our people taking advantage of this opportunity that it is heart sickening to one who believes in advancing and opening the door when opportunity knoos. When COLUMBUS BUSINESS8 MGNATE The above is an excellent likeness of one of Ohio's most brilliant business men, whose business was written up in the Defender last year. Mr. Ward is modestly personified and in order to give the reader a plectet of him our Columbus correspondent was forced to use our new patent, the THE BROADWAY Hon. Earl E. Ward. "Invisible camera," and succeeded in snapping this Prince of Business whose wealth easily reaches $200,000. The Defender was highly elated on receiving the snapshot of the gentleman as it is the first picture published in any paper of the above named gentleman in the country. Mrs. George A. Hopkins, 3643 Vernon avenue, met with a very serious accident while out shopping. Dismounting from a south bound car she was struck by a north bound car and received severe bruises from which she has suffered for the past week. At this writing the lady is somewhat better. It is not only absolutely necessary to alight from a car facing forward but as a preventative of injuries one might do well to concentrate his mind on an imaginary sign reading, "Stop, look, and listen!" It is sincerely hoped Mrs. Hopkins will entirely recover from the accident. --- Mr. Lewis returned to Chicago the last time on business he succeeded in convincing a few of his friends that Canada was the place to buy property. He had bought two lots himself in a small town of 900 people, 100 miles west of Saskatoon, called Wilkie, Sask. The lot's have advanced, $100 each in 12 weeks, and these same friends who believed in what Mr. Lewis had told them, bought in the same town and have enjoyed the same advance on their lots. The parties who bought these lots are Mr. Eddie Felix, 30th street and Armour avenue; Miss Ross, 30th and Armour avenue, and Mr. Ousley of Ousley Bros. Teaming and Express Co., 12 W. 36th street. Mr. Lewis' father states that any one desiring to place some money in this part of the country, and has the sand to hold on to it for two or three years, will prize and honor the moment that they made. any one is abl. afraid to this county. buy in the n. readers of this any money on s. communicate with will advise you as to and will also look up any of the surrounding Any communication wi. at 239 Avenue A, Saskatoon, Canada. HAVE YOU HEARD OF THEM. Of the Du Bois club? Well, if you haven't you will. This club consists of eight strictly refined young men who are willing to do their utmost to elevate the race. With the cooperation of fellow clubs and the public we hope to succeed. Our object is to aid our members in case of sickness and to promote sociability. We especially extend our service gers. This club was org. 26, 1911, and has made great so far. To please others is the of our ambition. In an interview treasurer, Mr. Joseph Hawkins, with Mr. Daniels, president of the North Shore Pleasure club, Mr. Daniels stated that there could not be better move than the co-operation of all the clubs, bringing all the young people together. We are in favor of the movement. It was also stated that home club occasionally attending another's meeting would in many ways strengthen and assist each other. With a object in view we hope to accomplish much. For further notes concerning the Du Bois club read this p. Officers: Mr. M. Jackson, president; John Jones, vice president; Horace DI.

Because seemingly we, the Negro people, are without a party is no reason why we should hesitate for one hour. The Republican party has been blessed with unity for nearly forty years and has always possessed a splendid organization. It has defined its work, laid bare its plans, and always formed its larger duties. A strong party as ours, however, is the one that can stand the loss of leaders because it has many recruits who are ready to meet any responsibility that may come to them. Let us not wait; no, not a day, but go vigorously forward just as though we were not to have a leader for two years hence or more. In the meantime surprise the so-called party disruptionist. I am told that a goodly number of my so-called progressive friends are willing now to turn traitor to the party of their birth. I wonder if they remember when they used to preach the doctrine, "Love hides a multitude of faults." They are forgetting the mother who gave them birth, and adopted a foster mother that they know not of and all this not on the account of any wrong she has done or meted out to them but simply because others in the family have received more honors.

The Cubs didn't get a look-in. Chicago is getting the lion's share of musicals. Now is a good time to do your Christmas shopping. Early to bed, early to rise, stick to your business and advertise. A little printer's ink is the best trade-getter in the world. One thing to be thankful for—we have about gotten rid of the flies. Provident hospital taggers brought in something like one thousand dollars, showing that they must have tagged several people, at least. Now that the basball season is over perhaps we can find out what without searching through the back pages of the newspaper. Too many of our young men spend their time looking for work and apparently never finding it. We all can't be bank presidents. Some of us must be clerks, bookkeepers and janitors. No work is degrading and a man shoveling in the street who uses his brain in conjunction with his hands is sure to rise above his surroundings. This thing of giving up because you cannot find just the kind of work you are accustomed to doing is all folly and shows a diseased mind, and the man who will let his wife support him, save he is physically disabled, deserves the contempt of every right thinking person. Chicago, we are sorry to state, has too many of these worthless individuals. If some law could be enacted to put them in the workhouse it would be good riddance of bad rubbage. One of the most unfortunate things we have to contend with is the fact that the world, through the newspapers, is told of all our shortcomings but seldom of our virtues. It hears of the lynchings and of the burning by the mobs, but not of our progress. So we, as a race, must learn to advertise our enemies less and our friends more. We are prone to overlook the progress made by our own race. Whether it be through jealousy or other causes it matters not. Success for us means success of the individual, and until we come to the full appreciation of our own and to the realization that in unity there is strength we shall remain a poor dependent race. Do not be stingy with your praise. If your friends or neighbor does something meritorious, tell him so. It will encourage him to do greater and better things and you will have the satisfaction of knowing you have been a stepping stone rather than a stumbling block in the uplift of your people. --- AN UNJUST CENSURE! By Minnie Adams. This world is filled with critics, just and unjust, but the most abominable as well as the most unjust criticism it has ever been the lot of mortal to listen to, has been placed on the persons appearing in the cast of "Tallaboo." And why? Those criticising cannot adequately explain, although their reasons are as follows: The social position of some of the players and the professional position of members of their families. To the broadminded these reasons are absurd. It also seems that these critics are opposed to the persons in the play accepting compensation for their services and say, "If the work was done for charity and elsewhere than at the Pekin all would be well." This is another absurdity. Life in itself is a stage, so what matter where we display our talent? If the place where we perform be a place patronized and supported by the better class of people, be it a ball room or a stage, we argue that the greatest opposition comes from those who are the most regular in their attendance at our places of amusement and are themselves more deserving of criticism. God said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." In other races intelligence has advanced to the point wherein the people of the stage are honored for their display of artistic ability- and are the guests of the wealthiest. No cruel censure is voiced because of their chosen vocation. Rather are they praised for their superior talent. We as a race, in order to rise, must take our foot off each other's necks and see the good that is in our progressive and aggressive men and women. We must learn that our d in life is ten-fold e accomplish some-stead of being para- in the accomplish- many of our men se a part of their ed fame in some they need not to gain any per- should live on by another. if not the first perated by one are clean and ous and the mere fact that one appears there for a compensation rather than for nothing does not in any way merit an unfair criticism. For "every man is worthy of his hire." The play now being produced as well as the people engaged for the production can well demand and command our deepest respect and following. Over the country are scattered many dramatic clubs of other races for the express purpose of giving just such plays and no voice of consure ever attacks their noble intentions. Let those who wish to criticise concern themselves about those of our streets and not with perverted ideas of things which they are unqualified, judge, expect, and God uses that are being credibly used. And we as a race should encourage our gifted ones and abhor those who possess the contemptible principle of unjust censure, remembring always: "United we stand, dided we fall." Editor Francis H. Warren and wife of the Detroit Informer paid our city a visit to attend Madame Azalia Hackley's lecture recital. With them was T. W. Taylor, Howell, Mich., the manufacturer of hair and toilet articles. They spoke in glowing terms of the Defender, and said that we are on the right road in our efforts to break down race prejudice and other inconvenient things heaped upon the race. CARD OF THANKS. Mme. Azalia Hackley and Mr. Cory B. Lewis wish to thank the public and those who sold tickets to make the concert a success for their uniting efforts for the great results obtained. COL. RATCLIFF VERY ILL. Col. Ratcliff of the 5th Regiment, who is still in Kentucky very ill, had a sinking spell on Friday. The end is looked for at any hour. Men Write and Women Keep It is one of the settled facts in the history of love letters that men will write and women will keep. A woman cherishes her love letters as she cherishes her mirror or her powder puff. She carries them in her satchel and reads them in the twopenny tube. She ties them in blue ribbons and perfumes them with violette de Parme. She kisses them before she goes to bed and presses them to her bosom before she does her hair up in the mirror. She knows where and knows where to find them for years; and about the only safe thing the man who has written them can do is to marry her. Simple and Effective My little boy, three years old, troubled me considerably by going to the homes of neighbors without permission, so I followed this plan, writes a mother. Whenever I give him permission to go to I pion on a little card on which is written the word "neighbors," the neighbors see the badge they attach and play with the children. If he appears without it, they send him home. The card can be used many times, and the boy enjoys wearing it. Few Cities in India. There are few cities in India. Its stupendous population consists of farm laborers. India is one vast farm—one almost interminable stretch of fields. It is a beautiful country—beautiful rivers, beautiful mountains. It is a land of abundant air. The funges are full of animals, the air is alive with birds and fowls of almost all kinds, the waters are alive with fish. Vegetable Life is abundant and varied. Whatsoever Thy Hand Findeth. "I have been a great deal happier," she said at last, "since I've given up thinking about what is easy and pleasant and being discontented because I could not have my own will. Our life is determined for us—and it makes the mind very free when we give up wishing and only think of bearing what is laid upon us, and doing what is given us to do."—George Ellot. Domestic Economy American Medicine says that the supply of housewives is falling off and young men delay marriage because of the decreasing purchasing power of the dollar. Nevertheless, we know a lot of fellows who never knew what the purchasing power of a dollar was until they married. Lightning's Freak. A strange freak of lightning is reported from France. During a recent thunderstorm the lightning struck three byres in a village in the department of the Loire, killing off the cows in each byre that were lying down—16 in all—white all those standing up escaped unhurt. Looks and Confidence We owe it to our friends as well as ourselves to look our best at all times and the girl who can improve her appearance without harming herself, so do. Nothing gives us quite the self-confidence as to feel we look well. Original "Yeggman." The word yeggman is said to have originated from the criminal exploits of John Yegg, who, according to criminal tradition, was a Swedish desperate who operated in the Pacific coast states in the late seventies. Eccentric Will. By the will of a French lady who died recently a farm was left to the town on condition her family vault was kept in repair; while the rest of her estate was to be divided among those attending her funeral. Sure That Fish Are Fresh. Fish for Copenhagen as soon caught are put into barges with sleeve like bottoms, and so are sold alike in the market, delivered fresh and drapping out of tank wagons, at a nominal price.

AND VICINITY By Wm. Brooks. Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 20.—Sunday, Oct. 8, was a fine and pleasant one for the church-goers who were in large attendance, and the divines most eloquently delivered their sermons, and the choirs all chanted some of their sweetest music. The Chattanoogans extended their hospitality as loyal Christians to the delegates of the convention at the Warren J. E. Church, Rev. I. H. Welch, D. D., pastor, Oct. 18. It is the 11th annual session of the East Tennessee A. M. B. Conference, Bishop H. B. Parks, D. D. Chicago, Ill., presiding. The Y. M. C. A. meeting was a grand success at the First Baptist Church for men only. A noted address was delivered by Rev. C. A. Bell, B. D., pastor, Mr. S. S. Booker, general secretary.

Rev. L. Robinson, pastor P. B. Church, and members are doing a grand work in paying for their church property. A good leader can best succeed with an earnest membership. We have the pleasure to state that the honored people have been much awakened to property here of late. This spirit has nicely captured them that different kinds of business enterprises are the results of the same. We greet the public school season with much satisfaction, seeing that so many of the children are in attendance. A SACRIFICE UNAPPRECIATED. Pullman Company Cold Bloodedly Resumes to Assist an Employee Who Had Gone Blind In the Service. A lack of appreciation and sympathy has been most unfeelingly displayed towards Mr. Frank Williams, $215 Dearborn St., a former employee in the Pullman service. For eleven years Mr. Williams was one of the most faithful men among the many engaged by said company and was esteemed as one of the best men ever employed by them. One year and a half ago Mr. Williams lost his eyesight while still in the Pullman employ and was compelled to resign his position, but of course, the esteem in which this man was held for Sad and shameful to relate, his efforts to be an exemplary workman brought him nothing in his hour of affliction but refusals of all assistance from those who should feel it an honor to reward faithful service. A few hundred dollars would never be missed from the full coffers of the Pullman company, and it would be as the "Balm of Glead" to the man who, through his close and conscientious application to duty, is now sightless. Mr. Williams is a member of Hannible Lodge No. 6, K. of F., which lodge has befriended him in every possible way. Can it be that the world is becoming more aware of a cry from the heart of one whose pain comes directly or indirectly from our hands is passed by without a second thought? We trust not, and we hope the Pullman company will reconsider their cruel decision and give to him who so richly deserves their benevolence.

By Mrs. J. E. Wright. What has become of the old fashioned mother who taught her daughters the true art of housekeeping? It has become a rare thing to see the daughter of the house standing at the ironing board ironing a shirt for her father or brother or sewing the buttons on the clothes of her younger brother and sister. We can remember when it was a pleasant task for a daughter to assume some of the responsibility of housekeeping. And how delightful after the supper dishes were cleared away to gather around the table studying or reading to mother and father, thus saving their eyes from the extra strafs. But, alas, in this progressive age times have sadly changed. The loving dutiful daughter is hard to find. There was a time when your daughter was about from home you knew just where she was. And it did not need any curfew bells to bring her back. A promise to be home at a certain time was invariably kept. Mother's rule was the only curfew. How many mothers today know where and how their daughters spend their time? It is not a question what changed in later years. More mothers are wage earners and are compelled to leave home early and return late. And it is but natural that she becomes somewhat lax in her method of discipline. But there are mothers who do not have to contend with those conditions. Yet from their lack of discipline and over-indulgence their sons and daughters do not represent the best type of the Afro-American family. You can take a glimpse of the city after dark and see some of our young girls they would be appalled. The conditions are indeed terrible. But if we would pause long enough to consider the probable fate of our girls and boys we would with God's help know what to do and just how to do it. We would, however, suggest securing the addresses of as many girls as possible and the parents to cast off this listlessness, this indifference. Also appeal to the young miss herself in such gentle, persuasive tones that she will realize her peril and with her mother's co-operation we may accomplish much good without giving offense. It is worth trying. Of course we must expect some rebuke but that should not hinder us in doing our duty, for our girls must be saved and we must make a desperate effort to that effect, regardless of our personal feelings. The reason that our young men do not respect our girls more is because our girls do not respect themselves as they should. Some of our young people do not seem to know the difference between sociability and familiarity. It is time they found out, thereby avoiding much misery in the future. Girls should command and demand respect, if the young men would like her better. It is not the girl that allows to meet familiarity that the men will consider taking his wife. But it is the girl that any attempts of familiarity that commands his respect and is sought for as his wife, the mother of his children. Again, girls should not tolerate any man who speaks depreciatingly of the older members of the family, using such terms as the "old woman" or the "old man." But memory will grow fickle when the hair is white as snow. Most of our young girls have beautiful homes surrounded by every comfort, yet we are informed that a young girl will often suggest to a gentleman caller to go for a stole, thereby showing that she is either too stupid to entertain him at home or has a desire to be on the street. In fact, our girls do so many things to cheapen themselves that it is small wonder that they are often treated with discourtesy. We also learn that young men will often take a lady out with scarcely enough money for carfare and do not hesitate to ask for or accept a proffered loan, offering as an excuse that he forget to transfer his money from the pockets of his other trousers. No girl should commit such an error as to let a man have money, no matter how small the sum may be. It is the greatest mistake imaginable and should never be started, for as soon as a man has access to a girl's purse he loses whatever respect he had for her. And it does not take long before the request becomes a demand. It is then that a woman's downward course seems swift and certain. We read in the paper how many women's lives are sniffed out when they make an effort to check this growing demand for money. Girls should beware of the man who wants a little loan. She should shun him as a deadly peril. A girl should confide in her mother. She is her best friend. Just as soon as a girl begins to have secrets from her mother she is walking on dangerous ground. If mothers and daughters would have heart to talk with each other, exchanging their confidences, it would not be long before they become companions. They trust sense of the world, it girl, and see what a charming chum your mother will make. While we feel that mothers are largely to blame for this lack of confidence between herself and daughters we have no desire to censure her for the waywardness of her children, nor have we any desire or intention to condemn inexperienced youth. But we would appeal to every man and woman to use their best effort to uplift the race. That means we gave them the best care, the best love and the best advice. Give them the best of everything and the best will come back to you. Norwegian industry. Norway sells matches and paper to the United States, the East Indies, the United Kingdom and Germany. Four Ranchmen Hanged Her Sweetheart, and it is Said the Girl, Believing She Would Get $7,000 Insurance, Planned It. Valentine, Neh — Eunice Murphy, of this place, the girl accused of having incited a mob to hang her fiance in order that she might inherit his life insurance, has been held for the district court. The presiding judge declared that Miss Murphy is just as guilty as the men who took her sweetheart to a tree and hanged him. Silent to all but her attorney, designee, but presided over, Miss Murphy is composedely waiting in her jail cell the day when she shall be called to trial as accessory to the atrocious murder of Charles Sellers, her suitor. To all appearances an unsophisticated country girl, the young woman is intelligent enough to keep quiet about her affairs. She is charged with inciting her flance, George Weed, his brother Alma, her cousin and former flance, jarry Heath, and her brother, Kenneth Murphy, to their cruel attack upon a man who had for three years sought her hand in marriage. Aavirie is alleged as the motive. Thus are all the elements of a nudoma present in her case. Tulip ornamentation, the height of newspaper Interview, along herself with all that morbid glamor so dear to a sensation-loving public. Yet she prefers to keep her own counsel, refusing to make the simplest statements about the affairs and referring all questioners to her lawyers. The hanging of Sellers, June 18, by some of his neighboring ranchmen The Hanging of Sellers. near Cody, Neb., created a sensation for a time, but when four men charged with the crime were put in jail and bound over to the district court, the excitement subsided. Now it is charged by John M. Tucker, county attorney, that Miss Murphy incited and procured the murder of Sellers, her alleged motive being to get possession of $7,000 of insurance policies and considerable personal property which she is said to have believed to be attached to her upon the death of Sellers. At the time of the killing of Sellers, it was rumored that one man in the party that hanged him to a telegraph pole was inspired by jealousy, be being a suitor of the girl. Hutch Jack and Sellers, who lived together, were awakened one night by a knock on the door by George B. Weed. Jack knew Weed and invited him into the house. Weed had said he was making a social call. Weed asked Sellers, who was in bad in an adjoining room, to get up and come into the room where Jack and Weed were, but Sellers excused himself by saying he was not feeling well. Fifteen minutes later, Jack says, a party of men, composed of Kenneth Murphy, Harry Heath and Alma Weed, came to the Jack home and they were armed and commanded him to remain in the room where he was. George Weed told Sellers to get up. "We are after you," he said, according to the affidavit of the county attorney. Sellers arose and Harry Heath is alleged to have thrown a rope around his neck and pulled it tight, and George Weed, Heath, Murphy and Alma Weed are charged with having dragged Sellers out of the house to a nearby telephone pole and hanged him.

Dallas, Gregory, and Rapid City, S. D., have been designated as registra- tion points. The applicant must swear to his application before a notary public at the registration point. Judge James Witten, the superintendent of the awing, furnishes a certificate of authority to these notaries public, and applicant should swear to his application before any notary who does not exhibit a certificate of this kind. payment will be required for the privilege of registering, but a fee of wonty-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 Rebellion, 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. u., 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.

Soldiers, sailors, 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. stead Entry 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 homesteader 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 fillings for the purpose of holding the land for speculation are illegal and fraudulent, and the salt of relinquishments is also illegal. Write A. C. Johnson, Passenger Traffic Manager, Chicago. NOW THE WINTERHALTEN GIRL She Is Most Likely to Supply the Models for the Paris Fashions This Autumn. The efforts of the Paris dressmakers to abhole tight skirts and clinging empire gowns have hitherto met with little success. This autumn, however, it looks as if the threadlike figure of the ultra modern girl in her scant dress is to disappear and in her place will come a revised edition of the Winterhalten girl with her full flounced skirt, her trim pointed dresses and her fichu of fine linen or rich lace. Even Poletr, who perpetrated the harem skirt and helped to keep alive the vogue of the hobble skirt, has now joined his fellow dressmakers in their efforts to reintroduce width and breadth in the line of womanhood. Indeed the great man upon whose ideas smart dressmakers and smart women wait has hinted that small hoops may be used to give the skirt that swinging grace that was part of the charm of the Winterhalten girl. He has promised that skirts shall not be much wider and that tunics shall still prevail. Whether he will succeed in this innovation any better than he did with his harem skirt cannot be prophesied yet, but it is quite certain that flouches and fulness will come anyhow and stay a while. Already some of the smart Parisians have appeared at receptions in tafeta silk frocks with three deep flouces, the skirts not full, but noticeably wider than in the spring, the bodice tight and pointed, with waist line defined as it has not been for years, and a fichu covering the shoulders and fastened in the front with a deep red rose or a knot of ribbon. Smaller Handbags. Handbags are diminishing in size and are gradually becoming more moderate, some of them quite small. Those of violet to match the costume, or of soft ooze leather, are decorated with jewelled work or a small monogram of metal. Massive ancient brooches, jeweled buttons or the setting of some old-fashioned ring are transformed into clasps and give an extremely artistic finish to the bags carried by the woman who loves individuality. Fasten Hooks and Eyes. To sew on hooks and eyes evenly, take needle just the length of the distance apart you want your hooks. Make eyes with double thread by taking two stitches at same place the width of the hook, buttonhole the stitch and run needle between the material just the length of the needle to make the next, and so on. Sew on hooks a needle length apart and you will have them all even. Horses In Nail-Studded Car Savannah, Ga.—For transporting horses and mules for 90 hours in a car studded, sides and bottom, with heavy nails, which malmed or killed all the animals, a Georgia railway has ben made defendant in a suit for damages. The animals had been transferred from their original car and were in another which had nails sticking out all around. JULIUS ROSENWALD CHAMPIONS NEGROES CAUSE Tells Congregational Missionary Society They Nor Their Race (White) Should Maltreat the Black Man—Education of All to Love Each Other—No Separate Church and School the Proper Thing—Southern White Men Should Marry Black Women They Wrong. Negro Preachers and College Professors Should Demand Respect of Their Women by the White Race in the South Even to Death. Race Prejudice Is Hell. Mr. Rosenwald said in part: "A haire lip is a misfortune, a club foot is a deformity, but side whiskers are a man's own fault," at the American Missionary Association conference in the New Congregational church on Wednesday evening. "And race prejudices," he added, making an application, "are side whiskers that are a man's own fault." Gives $25,000 to Fund. Mr. Rosenwald recently gave $25,000 to start a fund for the establishment of a Young Men's Christian Association for colored men in Chicago. As the Negro problem was the subject of discussion at the missionary convention he was thought the proper person to make an address on "Race Prejudice." "Race prejudice is foolish in the face of civilization," said Mr. Rosenwald, "and yet it existed before the first line of history was scratched on the tablets of stone. It has been the downfall of nations. Two peoples cannot live together when they are at daggers' points. It was so in Egypt, and it is so today. Brutal Treatment Charged. "We hold up our hands in horror at the atrocities against the Jews in Russia, yet we are hardly less barbarous in our treatment of the Negro in the South. "Crime prevails where race prejudice is greatest. The stronger race lets down the bars to its feelings. It murders the weaker race and says the murder is no crime. America has more murders in proportion to its population than any other nation in the world. Race prejudice is a large factor in this record." Rev. Clement G. Clarke of Minnesota read a paper on "What the Whites of the South Owe the Blacks." Rev. Ferdinand Q. Blanchard of New Jersey also gave an address on the Negro problem. Southern White Gentlemen. It is reported that one of the delegates, speaking of the conditions at the South said in Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana the white man is so bold that he lives outright with colored women on their plantations and in the cities; he goes from his business place to her home, provided by him. The houses of prostitution are mostly colored, kept up by white men and in these states a colored man is not allowed to protect his home from the inroads of the southern white gentleman (?). The race leaders of the South do not protect their homes as well as the ronstabout; the professor, and doctor, along with the preacher shut their months for the sake of a dollar, and let the white man degrade their women. The time has come to call a halt. GAMBLERS OF HIGH POSITION Great Ladies of England Formerly Played Continually and for the Highest Stakes. A little over a century ago there were hundreds of great ladies in England who made their drawing rooms regular gambling dens, and many in the most exalted social positions lost, or won, as the case might be, thousands of dollars in a single night's play. The royal princesses did not hesitate to play for the highest stakes and a faro bank was a portion of the paranahnalia of Dame Fashion. Queen Elizabeth was fond of cards, but she was inclined to be somewhat peevish and lost her temper at the game. Mary, Queen of the Scots, carried her infatuation to the extent of wagering her personal attire on a game. She would play continually from Saturday to Monday, and sacrifice her wardrobe, if necessary, to do so. Queen Ann of Austria was fairly pursued by ill luck. we are told, but she is said to have played without passion or greed. Anne Boleyn was an inverteate gambler, as were all the wives of Kenry VIII, with one exception—Catherine of Aragon did not gumble, as she had no love for the card table. Nell Gwyn lost 400 guinness one night to the niece of a notorious gambler, Mazarin, who afterward died insolvent, having lost at cards an enormous fortune left to her by her cardinal uncle. Cards are still popular among the hostesses of many of the English drawing rooms, but not to the extent they were a century ago. That Held 'Em Tourist—So you've stopped motor car speeding?

Complimentary Letter to Defender Complimentary Letter Oct. 16, 1911 Mr. R. S. Abbott, 3159 Street street. Stable Boys Bore Holes In Their Bottoms and Carry Corks in Their Pockets. "Anybody who has occasion to use a water bucket," said a man acquainted with their various uses, "is likely to pick up the first one he comes to, then he may put it back where he found it or he may not. "It was to prevent their being carried off in this way and left around where they didn't belong that fire buckets came to be made with round bottoms, so that they wouldn't stand on their own bottom. Such buckets, as you know, are kept filled with water and standing around in buildings, supported in holders having rounded out spaces in which the buckets rest. These buckets are likely to be left where they belong. "A man who doesn't know their peculiarity may come along some day and pick up one of them and carry it off, but he is likely to leave the fire buckets alone after one experience of seeing the bucket he has carried off roll over when he set it down and snall out all the water." "Perhaps you don't know what stable boys do to keep their buckets where they can find them. The stable boy protects his particular bucket by boring a hole in its bottom, so that it won't hold water; nobody wants a bucket that won't hold water. Then he carries in his pocket a cork that will fit the hole in the bucket, and when he has use for it he simply plugs the hole, and there's the bucket ready for use. "To be sure other boys around a stable may carry corks in their pockets, but the run of people don't; and so the boy who has bored the bottom of his bucket is at least a little more likely to find it when he wants it than he would be if it had no hole in it." Some months ago a learned profesor at the Sorbonne wrote to the Parisian papers proposing that the word "petoman" be used as a term to designate the aviator, the word petoman being based. he explained, on the Greek root "pet." to fly. Another learned person says that the word harks back to the earliest days of aerostation, and quotes from Der Deutsche Merkur (the German Mercury), published by Wieland at Welmar, in October, 1783, which speaks of "Aeropetomanie," or the latest pro progress in flying. Among the less regrets that mingle with graver sorrow for the friends of an earlier generation we have lost are our omissions to .k them so many questions they could have answered so easily and would have been pleased to be asked—O.

Their good mission is to torment. A hearty welcome sends them flying.—Elizabeth Towne in Nautilus. Wealth Not Deeply Hidden Men sometimes dream of enormous wealth, stored deep in the earth, below the reach of miners, but experts aver that there is little or no ground to believe that valuable metallic deposits lie very deep in the earth's crust. An umbrella with windows is the latest in Paris. The reason given for the innovation is the difficulty of getting about on account of the danger caused by traffic, especially in wet weather. At a recent crow shoot in the Hatton castle rookery, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, a pure white crow fell to the gun of one of the party.

Retiring Song Recital of a Musical Genius. An Audience of 1,500, Enthervescing With Harmonious Enthusiasm. Orchestra Hall was particularly honored Thursday evening, Oct. 19, in having grace the stage in song rectal Madame E. Azala Hackley, who is unquestionably the greatest soprano the race has ever produced. Not only is she a singer with a voice of surpassing sweetness, but she is the possessor of a vast amount of musical intelligence far superior to that of the singers of today, and though we regret that one so gifted is about to retire from the necatal stage, still we feel that her real work and a closer intimacy with the Madame will be enjoyed by the people when the bud of musical knowledge continually opening in Madame Hackley, the singer, bursts into full bloom when this distinguished artist retires from the concert stage and becomes what she is more than capable MICHELLE HENRY KINGTON MOGH ```markdown ``` Mme. Azalia Hackley. of being, a teacher of the highest standard in vocal art. Madam Hacky is a revelation and she possesses an extreme sensitiveness to surrounding vibration of thoughts and feelings. her vocal demonstrations were marals of art as she has acuteness enough to sing them and her power of elucidating is exceedingly interesting. Very useful were the demonstrations of the fundamental principles of vocalization, much stress being laid in the all important (oo) as used in the Italian method of culture, this together with the diaphragmatic breathing were illustrated in the most unique, clear and pleasing manner. She is complete mistress of all the embellishments of her art, especially is she wonderful in the legato style of singing. This is the most neglected phrase of vocal art when it should be the part to interest and be studied most, as it reveals the true artist as no amount of trills and cadenzas can, which by the way, are but gymnastics of the art of singing. Damad Tackley sang and interpreted numerous songs of famous composers, especially beautiful were the aria "Una Voca Po Co Fa" from Barber of Seville, which showed the dramatic quality of voice as did the aria "Plus Grand Dauus Sous Obscurite" from the Queen of Sheba, "Coming Through Rye" demonstrated the beautiful lyric quality of Madam's voice, "Thou Brilliant Bird" gave to us the full delicious upper tones clear and limpid. And the last three Foh Songs were rendered with a beauty peculiarly Madam's own, "Why Adam Sinned" appealing most. In fact every word the madame uttered whether singing or talking was eagerly and profitably listened to by the vast audience. Among those gathered to hear this famous artist were many from out of town and the elite of the city represented Chicago. Handsome gowns, beautiful women, distinguished men occupied all available space. Mr. Cary B. Lewis deserves much credit for his executive ability in managing this great event and will ever be remembered by the music lovers of Chicago with grateful hearts for his being instrumental in giving us the most exquisite pleasure of hearing the queen of song, Madam E. Azalia Hackley. The most beautiful sight of all was to see the 500 or more gentlemen in evening dress. This concert marks an epoch in Chicago's society and proved to the world that no other city in the Union can compare with this style and fashion. MOTTIS' PEKIN THEATER. Will offer on Monday, Oct. 23, a and revival of the musical comedy, the Mayor of Dixle," with an en- ely new score of music and songs, a principal characters will be ked after by artists of well known city in the musical comedy world. voy of beautiful girls will comprise chorus and dances. The manage- ture has been so much encouraged he success of the policy of one a night that they will continue excepting on Sundays, when two formances will be given. The n is very desirous of finding out the public wants and with that ind they intend to offer the very in musical comedy with no adde in prices. e attractions at the playhouses week are up to the standard as sole; some are better and others best, but all around the many pa- will be well repaid for their role at any one of the theaters. The Pekin. **allaboo** is still on the bill and is not enough space to accommodate admirers. Mrs. Jessie M. n, who did some very good work, title character, has been read by the original "Tallaboo," Mrs. Stone Lane. The players are lying very new costumes. Mrs. Lacey is wearing two, new ones pink silk negligee trimmed in black silk bands of lace; the other a blue messaline with an overdress of black lace made in colonial style and the split panel of lace caught with silk cord and tassel. Mrs. Clara Hutchinson is still captivating the audience with her lovely voice and pleasing manner and assuming her double role. The others of the cast are better than they were some weeks ago, thanks to the very excellent and able directing given them by Mr. Jerry Mills. Mrs. Evelina Dunham has been added to the cast and is a surprise to most everyone. She possesses a fine voice filled with melody and sweetness which she handles with a nicety. There are great possibilities for her. The run of the play is still indefinite. Irwin and Herzog are not only funny men but singers, and in their work they display voices worthy of every commendation. They danced very litle, but maybe it was because of their full dress suits. Well, I don't blame them. The suits are ready and the act is, too. Madeline Sack, the violin virtuoso, is a most pleasing violinist and can sadden or gladden your heart with one graceful sweep of the bow in her dainty hand across the violin strings. Lizzie B. Ramond and Lillian McNell are some dressers. Miss Ramond is of the May Irwin style only she uses Irish songs instead of ragtime. If she would use ragtime she would be "peaches." Miss McNell makes a big hit with her pretty dancing and she merits every praise. Gillam and Williams, the Big Four Act, as regards work is rightly named. The two ladies in the act are the dearest little dancers one will find in a day's journey. But the act is surely the goods. Gillam as a tramp is one of the best in the business. If you didn't know he was an actor you would think the management had found a real tramp and put him on the stage. He is certainly great—in fact, the quartet was the hit of the bill. A most bewildering farce is "A Double's Troubles," as played by Potts brothers and company. Confusion reigns supreme in the act and it is a scream from start to finish. The "Too Swets" are holdovers from last week and are doing some fine work. Their conversation is spicy and is given with a vin, and Sweet's song of "neck bones" is a winner. Lula Hoocker sings, dances and THE MASTER OF THE WORLD A. Hon. Terrevous L. Douglas, Play Writer. dresses well, but a budget of later songs would be an added attraction. Owsley and Bowman are very good and many moments of enjoyment are spent while they are on the stage. Mr. Bowman's rendition of "If I Forget" was feelingly given, but a little less of the forced quality of voice will have the same power to please and will be more in keeping with the gentleman's aristocratic bearing. Mitchell and Brady are the classiest team seen on the stage in many moons. They are two young ladies and they do some excellent work. They make several changes of costumes and it is done in less time than it takes to tell it. They sing and dance and characterize their numbers most delightfully, and are worthy to be called one of the best female teams on the road. The Phoenix. Is operating some most beautiful photo-plays this week and the soloist and pianist are at their best. The great Jerry Mills is about to leave the shores of America and sail for Honolulu. Mr. Mills is one of our foremost actors and directors and we regret to lose him, but wish him every success on his journey. Fidler and Shelton, a pair of vaudeville princes, are playing on the West Side and will leave for Pittsburgh, Pa., next week, where they will enter on the big time. Samuel T. Arnold has returned from a year's residence in New York City. Mr. Arnold will be remembered as one of the Pekin Trio. He will again vaudeville out of Chicago. "The Mayor of Dixie" will hold the stage of the Pekin beginning Monday, Oct. 23, with Cliff Green in the title role. "The Dixie Jubilee Singers," under the management of W. C. Buckner, are touring the far north. They are now en route through Manitoba. Mr. J.

Writes Great Play. Beginning the week of Monday, Oct. 30, the popular playhouse, the Pekin, will have acted on its stage a play from the pen of Mr. T. L. Douglas, the name of which is "Caribb" (meaning original Indians). The Caribbean Sea takes its name from these game Indians, who inhabited its shores, and the play, as before stated, will have its malden production at the above named time and place. "Carib" is one of the greatest melodramas ever written for the colored stage. The prologue is laid in the Bahama Islands, giving a picturesque scene of the tropics. No one can afford to miss this prologue, which is handled by the best available talent, including the immutable Charles Gilpin of the Pekin theater; Mr. Moore, who was many years with the Williams and Walker company, and Mr. Junius Sayers, who is now with the Pekin stock company and whose dramatic ability is well known. These three men, with Mrs. Cummins, will portray the principal characters in the prologue. The scene then reaches New York City and finishes in Brooklyn in three stirring acts. The hero is a young West Indian who arrives in New York City and meets with conditions different from what he expected. He was in search of a man who had dethroned the chastity of his mother and robbed his father of a fortune twenty years prior to his coming to New York. Though having no clew as to the whereabouts of this scoundrel, he always felt, intuitively, that a crime of such magnitude must some day come to light. A year later by a natural turn of affairs he met this man face to face. In the meanwhile this young man. Thaddeus by name, meets a friend of his boyhood days by the name of Rudolph, who has spent seven years in the United States and is well acquainted with the ways of the world. It is well worth listening to the conversation of two West Indians, one a recent arrival and the other seven years in advance. The cast includes sixteen parts. There are ten strong and well depicted characters and six minors. There is a thrill in every scene. This is the first attempt made by Mr. Terrevous L. Douglas in play writing. "The "Carib" was written two years ago, and since then Mr. Douglas has been improving upon it little by little until now he hands us the greatest piece of dramatic work ever produced by the race. Mr. Douglas was born on the island where he lays the first three scenes, which is the prologue and the foundation of the play.

Fog Hard to Pierce A dense or thick fog will obscure objects at a distance of 1,000 feet. The recent accident to an ocean steamer of the Anchor line illustrates the fact. An iceberg was run into as soon as seen. After the collision the passengers could hear the echo from their voices reflected by the walls of ice, though the iceberg was invisible to them. Otherwise, there are no echoes at sea. True Ideal of Bight. Practical duty enriches the fancy and the heart, and action clears and deepens the affections.

If you'll keep it dark we'll tell it to you just as we got it from the genial theatrical managers, Tom and Leon Motts. To show you how much of a secret it is they took us down in the basement to tell it and if that wouldn't be considered a dark secret, excuse us. You see, sald Tom, we have always wanted a theater in the loop district to be known as Junior Pekin. It will seat four thousand, eleven hundred and forty-four people—and a bass drum player, put in Leon. We are going to revive some of the old time comic operas, such as "She Chose to Choose Cheese," etc. Bird Williamson has been urged to support the chorus girls (their salaries not being large enough to support them) and the "Sterling Actor-Critic" is to be publicity man. Lunch will be served between acts and money cheerfully refunded if the play is as good as advertised. All of the big managers, such as Frohman, David Belasco and Frank P. Danabagay, have tried to buy stock in the enterprise but nothing doing. We are authorized to say that all patrons of the present Pekin will be given season tickets to the new house providing they attend the old Pekin regularly until the new house is built.

Remarkable Fountain The city of Vienna possesses what is perhaps the most remarkable electric, or electrically lighted, fountain in existence. It is situated in the Schwartzenbergplatz. Underneath the fountain, in a huge cemented chamber, are placed 27 reflecting lamps, capable of producing several different luminous and colored effects. The light is situated through the waters of the fountain. The light power of the plant is estimated as equal to 90,000,000 candles. Two Points of View On one occasion, at a party given by Sir John Miflals, Lady Halle rose to play the violin, when to her intense amusement she heard Landseer exclaim: "Good gracious! A woman playing the fiddler! On the other hand, an old-fashioned nobleman, when he saw a gentleman sit down to the piano, contemptuously remarked: "I wonder if the creature can sew!" "Stint" and "Stunt." Stint is a good word as a noun. As a verb it means something not quite so pleasing. Do not confound it with stunt, however. A stunt is something quite useless. It is the horse-play of the mountebank, and has nothing in common with honest, productive labor. It is the horse-play of something demands to be accomplished; a goad to the lagger that time is on the wing—Atlantic. Naturally Filtered Water. An English naturalist, who has explored the mountain ranges of the Malay peninsula, reports that in several species of bamboo the hollow internodes—the parts of the stems between the joints—are stored with large quantities of naturally filtered water. He also discovered two species of ferns, growing on trees whose thick, fleshy stems are filled with galleries tunneled by ants, the ferns thus forming living nests for the ants. Meiancholy Days.

The curiosity of some peasants as to what was inside an unexploded shell they found in a field near the artillery station at the village of Milosna, near Warsaw, the other morning, proved disastrous. When they attempted to open the shell it exploded, killing three of them and wounding 16. A word to the wise A jolly old doctor said that people who were prompt in their payments always recovered in their sickness, as they were good customers and the physicians could not afford to lose them. PUNTING HAS INCREASED IN IMPORTANCE A boy in a football uniform kicks a ball on a field. Another boy stands in the background. Otto Seller of Illinois. Nearly all the western conference teams have men of more or less ability in the punting line this season. Capt. Andy Gill of Indiana is probably the best in the west, his work not only being of the long distance variety, but extremely accurate. Minnesota has a man of great ability in Capron, who is said to be better than Johnny McGovern in the drop kicking line and far his superior in punts. Illinois has Seller, who won three games from his teammates last year merely through his ability to kick goals and who was hailed as one of the stars of the west on this account, although his work in other departments of the game was no better than ordinary. Chicago has not a man of ability and Coach Stagg has been working night and day trying to find a player who will be able to cope with the stars of his three great western adversaries. With the uncertainties of ground gaining in the open game, punting has increased tremendously in importance. The ground is reliable, reliable ground, galagera, while it is Young New Jersey Woman Allows Opponents but Three Hits, Making Three Doctors Amputate Air. Though neither a Matty nor a Marquard, Carrie Kilbourne, a schoolgirl of New Brunswick, N. J., put 'em over the plate in such skillful fashion that the most exacting fans were satisfied. The young woman was pitching for the team of the German hospital of Brooklyn against the team of burg hospital. If she had had better support her side might have won. The score was 8 to 7 against her team. The game took place at Saratoga field. Miss Kilbourne was wild at first and passed several men; but she soon steadied. The Williamsburg doctors, internes and ambulance men suffered from anaemia of the batting average. They showed they could handle a bandage or an instrument with more effect than they did a baseball bat. Miss Kilbourne made five doctors amputate 'the air in the innings she pitched and allowed only three hits. She showed both best in the seventh innings. She showed both and then a hit filled the bases. But she struck out the next man and the following two were easy. At bat she was a good waiter and twice got to first on four wide ones. Sporting Gossip. The tall end of the season was more of a joke this year than usual. that year than usual. Flat Nelson wants one more chance. They a@says want "one more." Now Governor Dix is shouting for them. Kicking probably will be more effective in football than in baseball. Reports from Michigan indicate that the team will be better than ever this year. Italy ought to hire Gotech to threaten the terrible ones with the toe hold. Apparently Yale is not going to rely upon one game for a reputation this season. Yale probably will remember how much her gorging last year amounted to, however. Bill Bass of Richmond, Va., and naturally one of the old families, has become a "hope. In baseball as well as in everything else everything depends upon whose or is being depressed. According to reports, Northwestern lacks ginger in its football, while the Marcous have a Paine. Evidently Hughey Jennings is tired of managing a team composed principally of individual stars. After a prize fighter has gone by the thing to do is to learn how to lose gracefully and naturally. Kutina, the firstbaseman for the Brown, is a wrestling partner of Frank Gotch in the winter months. In Venezuela our national sport has taken firm root and the natives are playing it almost as well as we are. It's almost as hard to understand the interpretations of the football rules as it is to understand the rules themselves. Speaking of proselyting, what about this Yale professor walking off with Battling Nelson's brother from Leeland Stanford? Bob Dunbar, Boston's sporting expert, says Martin Sheridan undoubtedly will make the Olympic team, but he will have to go some I almost impossible to gain consistently on line or end plays. The days when a heavy or strong team could sweep irresistibly down the field toward an opponent's goal have passed, for even the weakest eleven is able to check a heavier team if its defense is worked out properly. With the uncertainties of ground gaining under the new rules it has become almost habitual for a team to kick on its third down in case it has more than a yard or two to gain. There is nothing more discouraging than for a team to lose the gain of ten minutes of fierce play simply through the ability of a player of the opposition to send the oval twisting and hurting high in the air back to the place from which the march began. A fair team may make such a march twice, a good one twice, but it takes the exceptionally well coached three times beforeelo after time, realizing that the slight slip on the part of their offense leaves an opening for the opposing team to put the ball back to the starting line. Coaches Think Eleven Needs More Drilling on That Play—Open Style to Get Trial. The work of the Yale football squad thus far has convinced the coaches that the team's weak point this year is likely to lie in a failure to make the most of the open style of play. The team has failed lamentably in oft repeated attempts to gain ground by the use of the pass mask. In the Wesleyan game, the visitors had no trouble each time in intercepting the attempted pass and breaking 1930 up the play. In that game Yale also tried to use the on-side kick without success. While the natural thing for Yale to do might be to abandon the attempt at an open game, which never has proved of great value here, the coaches instead have determined to go ahead, and try to develop the new football to the fullest extent. UMPIRES TAKE OUT POLICIES Venezuelan Arbiters Guard Against All Accidents, Says Armando Marsans, Cincinnati Outfielder. In Venezuela, according to Armando Marsans, the Cincinnati outfielder, who has relatives there, the people are just as wild over basnail as in America or Guba. The umpires down there, says Armando, are crafty. Before every game they take out accident insurance policies. The most violent: rooters in Venezuela are the president; and treasurer of the local insurance companies and they take no chances. They guard and protect the umpires, defending them against the crowds, and, at the same time, preventing any sudden demand upon their own treasuries.

Jones and Schmidt Released Outfielder Davey Jones and Catcher Charlie Schmidt, veterans of the Detroit baseball club, will not be with the Tigers next season, as walers have been obtained on both, and they will probably be seen in the minor leagues in 1912. Jones and Schmidt joined the Tigers in 1905, and up to this year both of the men have played first-class baseball. This has been a disastrous season for Jones, and Schmidt been practically useless to all season, having only one full games. Coach Jack Field. Often Turn Down Players Who Later Become Stars. Ward Miller, Secured by Cubs for $300, Now Held at $10,000 by Montreal Club—Hitting Above .300 Mark. Some of the men who buy and sell ball players certainly have some bad half hours. What would you think if you had purchased a ball player for $300, had sold him for $1,500 and then wanted him back an was asked $7,000 and several players? Wouldn't you feel like swearing? A couple of years ago a fellow named Ward Miller became the property of the Chicago team—was drafted from a small minor league and cost $300. Manager Chance looked him over and figured he wasn't quite right. He asked for a waiver, and the Pirates refused to allow him to go. That was in the days when you had to sell a man for pennant you asked waivers—no pulling back. Miller went to the Pirates, Clarke looked him over. After a while he decided Miller wouldn't do, and the latter went to Cincinnati on a trade that made Blaine Durbin, the former Cub pitcher, a Pirate. Clark Griffith looked over Miller and backed the judgment of Chance and Clarke. He figured Miller would not do in the majors, and he went to the Eastern league. Well, this year Miller struck his stride. He is hitting over .300 for the Montreal club and running the bases like a wild man. George Huff, the Cub scout, went to look him over. Huff wired President Murphy that Miller could be secured for $7,000 and two players. "Suck around until tomorrow; may be they will come down," was Murphy's answer by wire to his scout. The next day the Cub president received an answer. It read like this: "Price has gone up—now they want $10,000" and the telegram was signed Huff. "Cateh the first train or they'll boost the price to $20,000," were the instructions of President Murphy. Don't you suppose the Cub maginate feels like bottling himself when he thinks of the time when he had this fellow at a cost of $300? And these same baseball men will give you a warm time if you attempt to convince them that O'Toole, the St Paul pitcher, cost Barney Dreyfus $2,250 in real money. Here's one that President Comiskey of the Sox tells on Joe Cantillon. Joe, it will be remembered, was formerly the manager of the Washington team in the American league and then went to Minneapolis to boss that team. "Joe had heard that somebody had offered Lennon $12,000 for O'Toole," said President Comiskey. "So the next time that oje saw Lennon he opened on him: I understand that you have been offered $12,000 for O'Toole," said Joe. "Yes, was Lennon's reply, 'Well, guess me the biggest fool of all', said he. 'In the first place, didn't know there was the anybody in baseball so crazy as to offer that much money for any ball player. And, in the next place, I would have sworn there was nobody in baseball crazy enough to have turned down such an offer, once he had it." Which shows you that the fans were not the only ones to gasp at the price. Even practical baseball men had a difficult time believing that any magnitude would separate himself from that amount of money for a ball player. GREAT FUTURE FOR HARMON Manager Bresnahan Predicts Twirlier Will Be Baseball's Greatest Pitcher Next Season.

Woman, Baseball, Scout Washington is the first city to come across with a woman baseball scout. She lives in Lowell, Mass, and has written several letters to McAleer concerning ball players in the vicinity of where she lives, and Mac sends Mike Kahoe, the old Red catcher, up to see them work. He lost one man. She recommended Wolfgang, whom the St. Louis Browns grabbed. McAleer is thinking of sending her out on the road.

Let All Who Wish to Keep Abreast with the Society News Watch this Column. The Gambling Dens. Lexington, Mo., Oct. 20.—The pool hall around on 9th street, opposite the Grand Opera house, seems to be a regular pit hole or gambling den for the young men of our race. Day by day and night after night you see from twenty-five to fifty young men in this place playing pool, cursing and swearing, using all kinds of profane language, and yet some of these young men call themselves Christians and members of the church. We often speak of Kansas City, Mo, being such a bad place. It is no worse than Lexington, according to the size of the city. Sheriff Peacock and the city officers should put a stop to our young men playing craps, cursing, swearing and making all kinds of noise in this place and, if necessary, close the whole thing out of business as this place is only a hell hole to lead our young men of Lexingtown down. Let us as Christian men and women do our duty and help to wipe out these dirty, lowdown gambling dons in our city. Big-Mouthed Women. Lexington has some women whose mouths are so big they can be heard all over town. Go to town on Saturday night and there you will see young and old women "rushing the can" and doing all kinds of devilment on the streets, and yet the city officers do not pay any attention to them.

"A Perfect Saw." "To say nothing and saw wood," seems to me one of the most sagacious phrases passed down by our hard working forebears. Like most sayings which have emanated from manual labor, this is blunt, homely, and, to the loquaciously inclined, painfully accurate. Show me a man bent jackknife-fashion over a horse-worse, with a short log under his buck, and I will point out a man who is minding his own business with admirable zeal. If he saw me, he would be toowing. While he saws he is necessarily mute. Hence this shrewd phrase, which is, punning aside, a perfect saw.—Atlantic. Effect of Weather: The effect of the weather upon crystalization is certain. When it is dry the crystals are large and well defined; when it rains or there is a damp wind the salt crystallizes in fine grains; or again, rain will stop the crystalization entirely or retard it for many days. Even after crystalization has taken place in lumps as large as hazelnuts a damp wind or a rain will reduce the whole mass to a fine granular state. New Use for Cottonwood Tree.

Fan Holly THEIR SINGING HARD LABOR People of Star Island, Bays Cella Thaxter, Grind Out Sounds With Tremendous Exertion. Among people of average musical ability there is less singing than there used to be. Nearly everybody enjoys singing, and there was a time when nearly everybody was expected, on occasion, to sing. But from different causes—a more exacting standard, the rivalry of the phonograph, and other reasons—amateur singers are fewer than they were. It is a matter for regret from one point of view, and from another for rejoicing. In a recently published letter, Celia Thaxter tells how some of the Star island folks, during her long residence at the islands of Shoals, used to sing. "Their singing," she declared, "was truly astonishing, indeed, I might say, exerculating. They go at it precisely like they were sawing wood, and grind out the wood with their tion that their faces become crimson and the perspiration stands in beads on their foreheads."—Youth's Companion. Good Prison Fare. If what is said of French prisons be correct the wonder is that there are any people left outside. An official return of the necessaries and luxuries supplied recently to the prison department shows that there is no stint. Among the edibles supplied are 84,000 tablets of chocolate, 17,000 kilograms of coffee, 30,000 kilograms of coffee, 55,000 kilograms of flour; course; 50,000 kilograms of Bologna sausage, 2,000 cheeses, 200 kilograms of caramels, and ten times that weight of other sweets. A kilogramme is nearly 2½ pounds. Fond of Walking Sticks. Of all people perhaps none is more fond of canes or more skilled in their use than our fellow citizens of Porto Rico. The walking stick in that island seems to mark social disructions among men as fans do among women. AH, MY DISTINGUISH FRIENDS, YOU HONOR WITH YOUR PRESENCE- INTRODUCE YOU TO MY W MRS. READYMO HE PLANNED HIS OWN DEATH How Sir William Hankford 500 Years Ago Evaded Law Against Committing Suicide. Sulcides often adopt ingenious methods, but the art of the felo de se seems not to have advanced materially during the centuries. The modern case of a heavily insured broker who on a feigned hunting trip stood bare-legged in a quagmire for hours and wilfully contracted a fatal pneumonia is matched in cleverness by one 500 years old. The following facts are well vouchered for, and indeed were never questioned, says the Green Bag. Sir William Hankford, judge of the king's bench in the reign of King Edward VI Henry IV, Henry V and Henry VI, and at the time of his death chief justice of England, was a man of metanchoh temperament. He seems to have contemplated suicide the greater part of his long life and during his later years the idea became a fixed purpose. The act was of peculiarly serious consequences in those days for the reason that the law treated it as a capital crime. The offender was buried at the cross roads, with a stake driven through his body, and all his goods and property were forfeited to the crown, to the utter ruin of his family. Hankford made good use of his wits and succeeded in accomplishing his purpose without incurring either unpleasant penalty. He gave open instructions to his gamekeeper, who had been troubled with poachers in the deer preserve, to challenge all trespassers in the future and to shoot to kill if they would not stand and give an account. One dark night he purposefully crossed the keeper's path, and upon challenge made motions of resistance and escape. The faithful servant, falling to recognize his master, followed instruction to the letter, as was expected of him, and Sir William fell dead in his tracks. The whole truth of the affair was common knowledge, but it was impossible to establish a case of suicide by legal proof. The servant was protected by his instructions, Hankford had honorable burial and his estate passed to those whose interests as heirs he had so wisely considered. Childish Ballots Yes, children believe plenty of queer things. I suppose all of you have had the pocketbook fever when you were little. What do I mean? Why, ripping up old pocketbooks in the firm belief that bank bills to an immense amount were hidden in them. So, too, you must all remember some splendid unfulfilled promise of somebody or other, which fed you with hopes perhaps for years, and which left a blank in your life which nothing has ever filled up.—Holmes.

I sincerely hope this brief statement from the writer of this column will not be thought impertinent. I have known you all so long that I feel assured you will receive a few words of counsel from an old friend, and that you will believe that whatever advice be really worth, it is at least dictated in a kindly and straightforward spirit. You men have entered on a style of life in which the advantages and the temptations follow each other so closely that it is often difficult to separate the one from the other. Even the talents which procured you your scholarship may become a means of mischief if you do not exert severe control over their application and direction. But you must be aware of the necessity at heart to believe that you will ever allow yourself to be spoiled, even by success, and have a happy confidence in your integrity of character, which leads me to think you incapable of anything mean or flippant, but, above all, my dear friends, let me exhort you never to forget the duty you owe to God, who has bestowed a share of his gifts upon you.

Recognizing People Data have been gathered in Germany with reference to the distance at which persons may be recognized by their faces and figures. If one has good eyes, the Germans claim, one cannot recognize a person whom he has seen only once at a greater distance than 32 feet.

The remains of the old Roman boat found embedded in Thames mud during the sinking of the foundations of the London county hall, at Westminster bridge, were transferred to the London museum. A coin which was found in the boat points to its date being probably about 293-296 A. D.

Neipp, the Proprietor of the Largest Hotel in Burlington, la, Shows That He Believes in The Rights of All Men. C. Nelp, a former prominent hotel manager of Chicago, now the proprietor of the Hotel Burlington in Burlington, Iowa, has proven to one man, if no more, that he is for the right which wrongs nobody. The incident which occasioned the showing of his colors, we relate for the benefit of those interested in equal rights: A guest entered the dining room and not being served as promptly as he thought was his due, he angrily called a waiter, "Come here, nigger." As no one responded to his polite (?) call, he repeated it and on gaining no attention he hurried to the manager, Mr. Nelp, demanding the discharge of the inattentive waiters. The manager, on learning the reason of the inattention gave the gentleman to understand that each of his waiters had Christian and surnames given them by their parents and could, by law, demand the recognition of same and as far as he (Mr. Nelp) was concerned, it was not his intention at any time to uphold any discourtesy offered to an employee by a guest, no matter who he may be. The guest, finding his indignation somewhat cooled by the stand taken by the manager, left the hotel, vowing never to enter it again, which pleased rather than saddened the entire hotel staff. Three cheers for Mr. C. Nelp! Practically Indestructible. A flight of stairs has been erected in Paris over which 14,000,000 persons have passed without so much as scratching the surface.

WASHINGTON—More than $50,000 was spent on the White House in the last fiscal year by the government in fuel, light and repairs, according to the annual report of Col. Spencer Cosby. The executive mansion is the principal building of the department of public buildings and grounds, and is practically the only building of any size that comes directly under the head of the superintendent of public buildings and grounds. In the year repairs were made to elevators, vestibule, and roof, and the general appearance of the building was kept up. To do this required the services of about 100 men. A new system of lightning protection was installed in July, 1910, the work being done under contract. The old zinc and lead rods were removed from the roof and new copper cable was connected to 100 points on the roof of the house. The rods and points were mechanically connected to the house. A ladder was used. A silver closet, with double steel doors and complete set of shelves Queer Features of the New Game Laws Queer Features of the New Game Laws THE game laws for 1911 as compiled by the Biological Survey of the Department of Agriculture make interesting and sometimes odd reading. There is a demand for the information they contain which it is laborious to supply in a compendious form. The volume of the game legislation of 1911 so exceeded that of any preceding year that even to note changes in the laws is quite an undertaking. All but eight of the states put new game laws on the statute books this year. Delaware forbade the use of dogs wearing bells or other noise producing devices in wild fowl shooting. North Dakota the use of automobiles in duck shooting, and Michigan the employment of guinea pigs in hunting rabbits. New Hampshire has prohibited "the scientific collecting" of birds. Tennessee is one of those southern states that have come under the benign influence of the Audubon society. It has made the sale or shipment of robins a misdemeanor. Michigan seems to have removed all protection of deer in several counties; the editors of "Game Laws for 1911" think it was not the design of the lawmak Two "Widows" of Soldier File Claims STATE DEPT CLAIM CLAIM TWO women, each claiming to be his widow, and both living in Los Angeles, Cal., have filed claims through Philander C. Knox, secretary of state, for indemnity for the murder of Dr. Arthur Livingston Wilson Foster, at Alamo, Mexico, in June. One of the women, Mrs. A. L. W. Foster, has filed her claim through Dr. Foster's stepfather, Colonel Foster of Newark, N. J. The other, Mrs. Elizabeth L. Woods, has lodged her claim through her attorney, R. E. Kirk, for $100,000. Mrs. A. W. L. Foster claims she was married to Dr. Foster shortly after he graduated from Hahnemann college, in Philadelphia, and that they lived together until 1904, when they went to California. There Dr. Foster met Mrs. Woods and spent some time with her, though he never sought a divorce and was never legally married to the woman. Later he returned --- Army is Given Praise for Temperance THE standard of temperance in the army, for both officers and men, is exceptionally high, and is not exceeded in the other walks of life, unless in the church and among railroad employees," says Major General Frederick D. Grant in a report to the War Department. "While the soldier makes a favorable showing in this connection, in comparison with men in other vocations, General Grant, as commander of the department of the east during the last fiscal year, found nevertheless that the chief cause of court-martial trials was indulgence in alcoholic drinks. There was a remarkable decrease, he adds, in the number of trials by military courts in the department last year as compared with the previous 12 months. Army surgeons are urging the war department to act with greater promptness in discharging soldiers for physical disability, instead of trying to patch up worthless men for duty which they cannot properly perform. The chief surgeon of the department of the east has called attention to some specific instances where soldiers transferred to recruiting duties with and cupboards, was built in one end of the storeroom on the ground floor. A new telephone system was installed, and the furniture throughout the house was repainted or rubbed down while the president was at Beverly. Not the least part of the work of the office of public buildings and grounds was the part taken in social functions. During the year the office worked on four state dinners, ten small dinners, four musicals, two dances, two balls, four garden parties, and the president's silver wedding anniversary. At each of these functions the office was required to see that proper decorations were in order and to provide additional help to carry the affair to a success. Five hundred dollars was paid for telegraph connections between the executive offices and the Capitol and the public printing office. The monument and wharf at Wakefield, Va., the birthplace of George Washington, also come under the head of public buildings and grounds, and a watchman is employed the year round to see that the grounds are kept in repair. Repairs to the grounds during the year cost $44.25. The house where Abraham Lincoln died, in Tenth street, between E and F street northwest, also is kept up by the government, and $182.34 was expended during the fiscal year in repairs. GAME LAWS ers and that a mistake crept into the game code. Vermont pleased the sportsmen when it barred claims of damages to the crops of landowners who "post" their property. Vermont also abolished the alien license, and in West Virginia and Delaware the resident need no longer take out a license to hunt any game. It is astonishing to learn by inference that Massachusetts expects to number wild turkeys among its game birds. They are growing very scarce, even in Virginia. Nebraska now allows boys under 18 to hunt without a license if accompanied by parent or guardian. Idaho exempts veterans of the Civil war from "license requirements." A.bear license is now necessary in Wyoming. It has been the fashion to pay a liberal bounty for brains' pelt. home and lived with his wife and two daughters until he left for Ensenada, Lower California. On the trip that ended in his murder, the Woods woman, it is understood, followed him into Mexico and was living with him near Alamo at the time he and three other Americans were slain in a most heartless manner. Until the time of the murder and the filing of double claim Dr. Foster's relatives in the east knew nothing of the kind of life he was leading in the west. The summary arrest and almost immediate killing of Dr. Foster and three other Americans named Duphois, Carroll and Patrick Brennan, has led to a situation that presses a bitter fight in Washington. Dr. Foster and the three other Americans were in prison at Alamo and the doctor was compelled to treat the wounded brought to that city. Among others he dressed the wounds of Gen. Simon Berthold, of the rebel army. Later he was ordered shot by General Verga and was killed while riding on horseback to what he was told was another prison. All four men were shot in the back and thrown into a shallow hole and covered with rubbish. THE STANDARD OF TEMPERANCE IN THE ARMY IS HIGH -! a view to their discharge had been held under observation and treatment for several months. "One case," he says, "diagnosed neuritis' remained 218 days; another 'ununited fracture', 161 days; still another 'hammer toes' 128 days. When it is recalled that these men were probably on sick report at their posts an average of 90 days before being recommended for discharge, it is reasonable to estimate that the government lost by the present plan with these cases alone the equivalent of the services of an effective soldier for more than an entire enlistment. "The army is neither an elemen- cious institution nor a place for the physically inefficient, and such should be in it to the exclusion of fit soldiers." EVANSTON Phone 3499-R Meeting an Emergency "Lemme sit by the window! Lemme sit by the window, dad!" shrieked the small boy, making a dive for the last double seat. "Don't make so much noise," growled dad, a fussy little man with white eyelashes, following his son into the seat. "Here, turn around and take your dirty shoes off my clothes." Giving a farewell wipe with the shoes, the small boy turned his attention to raising the window shade. "Here, leave that alone!" grumbled dad. "Don't you see that lets the sun shine right in on me? Why can't you have a little consideration for other people?" "What's consid—Say, dad, look at that kid out there. Say, looky! He hit that other kid right in the nose. Say, I bet if I was that other kid I'd punch him in the slats. Say, looky, dad!" "If you don't shut up I'll drop you out of the window," observed dad, sourly. "Keep still, now. I want to read the paper." "Say, dad, what're we stoppin' for! Oh, gee! Look at all the people gettin' on. Where's they all gain to sit? Say, dad, look at all the people." Dad buried his nose in his paper and grunted. An injured looking man with a receding chin stationed himself in front of the pair and fixed dad with a meek glare. "Say, dad," remarked the small boy, punching his parent in the rhs, "that man's lookin' at you. Say, what's he lookin' at you that way for, dad?" "Look here," muttered dad, in restrained but wrathful tones, "If you say another word I'll give you the worst whipping you ever had in your life the minute we get home." The small boy stuck his thumb in his mouth and returned with a round eyed stare the glare of the injured looking man. At the next stop the injured looking man was pushed forward and his place was taken by two short sleeved, low necked, hobbieskirted damsels. "Wisht I had some place to sit down," remarked one, glancing from dad to his son. "Wonder he wouldn't make that kid get up and let somebody have that seat," observed her frond. "Dad," said the small boy, in a loud, hoarse whisper, "she says it's a wonder you don't make me get up and give her my seat. Do I have to give her my seat, dad? Ain't she got nerve, dad?" Dad, his head completely enveloped in his paper, made no response. The two girls giggled. The small boy amused himself for a few moments by sticking out his tongue at them. When this palled, he looked about for some other means of entertainment and hit upon the novel diversion of reciling upon the small of his back and running his beels up and down the back of the seat in front of him. The seat was occupied by a man who sat with hunched up shoulders and twisted legs, reading a railroad time table. He wore a dusty looking brown hat, with a rather wide brim, which the small boy kicked with each gyration of his feet. "Dad, watch me kick that man's hat. Say, ain't that a funny hat, dad?" No response from dad. The train stopped again and the two girls gave place to a fat, perspiring man with a heavy suitcase. He planted the suitcase on the floor and drew a handkerchief from his pocket. "Phew!" he observed to the pubble in general, mopping his face with the handkerchief. "This ain't the kind of a day to run for a train." With the exception of the small boy, the passengers all assumed the stony, far away expression that is supposed to be appropriate when a genial remark is made by a stranger to nobody in particular. The man looked down and caught the eyes of the small boy. "Say, son," he asked cheerfully, "don't you want to get up and let me have that seat? You can sit on my lap." "Naw!" replied the boy, regarding his interlocutor dispassionately. he sat him, with considerable effort, seated himself upon his suitcase. "Well," he observed, as he seated himself, "I ain't in the business of bringing up other folks' children, but I must say that when I was a kid if I'd 'a sat down when there was a lot of grown people standing my dad would 'a fixed me so I probably wouldn't 'a been anxious to sit down anywhere for a week." Then, suddenly, something happened. The hunched up man, thrusting the time table into his pocket, untwisted his legs and rose to his full height, which was about six and a quarter feet. The shoulders straightened to an astonishing breadth. Without a word, he reached across the back of the seat, and, seizing the small boy under the arms, lifted him and set him down on his father's knees. He then beckoned to the nearest woman. "Here's a seat, lady" he said. For a moment there was a tense silence. Then the fat man leaned over and touched one of the broad shoulders. "Pardon' me," he said, earnestly. "But would you mind giving me your address? I'd like to have 'em send you a Carnegie medal." E. JAC The Oldest Colored U E. JACKSON.
