Whitter, Chief Probation Officer, Brings Forth Sensation Charges of Cruelty to Wards By Women Assistants. CHARGES AGAINST COLLORED OFFICERS SHOCK COMMUNITY. Two Boys Say They Were Lashed, Fastened in Sacks and Thrown in Barn—Six Sept in One Bed—Much Coveted Position Hangs in Balance. Cruelties inflicted upon inmates of various homes and institutions were described this week by boys and girls, county wards testifying before the civil service commission in the Witter hearing as victims of the cruelties. The stories, told before to probation officers and others connected with the juvenile department without effect, will be the basis for wholesale discharge of the inactive ones, according to the county attorney's office. Story of Two Boys. Warren and Alonzo Williams, brothers, 13 and 11 years old, told of brutal treatment at the home of Mrs. Louisa McDonald, West Slxy-first and South Ada streets. Lashed until their backs were cut and bleeding, the boys were put in potato sacks, which were tied securely, and then were thrown into a barn at the rear of the house, according to their testimony. They told of gaining their freedom through the aid of a hole in one sack and by fleeing naked through the streets to their homes, two blocks away. The angered father then removed the boys from the care of Mrs. McDonald. Mrs. Sade Williams, the mother, and two neighbors, Mrs. Anna Harris and Mrs. Lulu B. Griffin, took the stand and told of the boys arriving home, their backs bearing evidence of the lashing they had received. Mrs. Frank Jones, formerly Hazel Ford, a county ward, was put on the stand to testify as another accuser of William H. Birch, the policeman connected with the illinois Industrial school. She charged that the policeman misrepresented her age and kept her in "bondage" after she had attained her majority. Mrs. Jones also told of cruel lashings she suffered at the McDonald home. Stripped of clothing, her hands and feet tied, she was beaten with a strap, she said. She exhibited scars as evidence of the treatment. Girl Tells Treatment. Elizabeth Cain, 14 years old, told of being taken to the Park Ridge school by policeman Birch and being forced to ride on his lap. Pearl Hughes, who was denied the privilege of attending her mother's funeral, took the stand and told of girls at prayer being kicked and ridiculed in Mrs. Covington's home. She said she was not informed of her mother's death. Florence Hagans, 13 years old, 1307 West Sixty-first street, was another witness who said that when she got to the home of Mrs. Covington six of the girls slept crossways in one bed. She said that Mrs. Covington whipped one of the girls with a slipper until her arm was black and blue and that she threatened to whip the girls with a rope when they said their prayers. "I did not get enough to eat," said the Hagans girl. "I was hungry when I left the table. Mrs. Covington said she would give most food to the girls that did washing for her. Once she a turmoil over the I left the tab and the she would give that did wash Washington, Ga., Nov. 3.—The "unwritten law" was again demonstrated when A. B. Walker shot and killed C. S. Hollenstad (white), a planner, for insulting his wife. It was claimed by the mob which later formed to lynch this man who was protecting his own and his wife's honor that the trouble arose because of some misunderstanding between the planter and Mrs. Walker. Needless to say, at no time is the white man lost for an ever-ready excuse to protect the honor and life of his own and this weak subterfuge was but one of the many used as a loophole through which to commit one of their filthy, dirty deeds. It is a well known fact that the majority of the male whites of the south revel in the intimacy of our women and think, like the small, narrow minded dogs that they are, that all our women are susceptible to the allurements of their arts and persuasions. But nevertheless in the instance of Mrs. Walker this southern white gentleman (?) was forcibly convinced, as will be hereafter many white men of the south who, like the vampire who so deservingly was killed, that all our women are not of the caliber they are accustomed to live in shame with. I saw Mrs. Walker when she entered the store belonging to Hollenhead and watched the purchasing of goods by the lady and saw the look of malevolence and devilish lust that lurked in every feature of the honorable (?) white citizen. I was a witness to the criminal assault perpetrated on the person of the lady, who succeeded at last in escaping from the grasp of the blood sucking vampire who had made her his victim. On gaining her release from the vicious grasp of the brute the poor woman ran to her home, her clothes shreds, her body lacerated, andASPED out in a voice almost inaudible from an excess of terror and shame, the story of her humiliation to her husband who, with every sense of righteous indignation, went to the store of the beast and shot him down like the dog he was. After avenging the wrongs of his wife Mr. Walker gave himself up to the authorities who as always gave word to the mob which of course immediately formed as to the direction in which they would escort their prisoner to the jail as a "hint to the wise or the brutal is sufficient." No more was needed and the mob met the sheriff and his charge on the outskirts of the city where they succeeded in taking the man from the officer. It was done without any trouble, rest assured, but drink had so petrified the brains of the shedders of innocent blood that while they were rejoicing over his capture and subsequent death, Mr. Walker successfully made his escape. It is to be most sincerely hoped that he will never be apprehended. In this town there are at least fifteen white men who are sapping the virtue of our women and their list for things sensual manifests itself in their beastly desire to own body and soul every woman of the race that comes under their observation. It is with the greatest difficulty that one of our women can keep her moral skirts from being besmirched with the shoe of immoral propensities which are so inherent in the breast of the so-called southern white gentleman. Must it ever be that our men will stand by and see murder, thievery and rape committed on one another and close their eyes to the enormity of the crime? Must we ever wait on God? True, we must wait on him in prayer, but after prayer let us listen to the still small voice which says, "God helps those who help themselves." Take God at His word and do as David did. Go forth in the faith to battle the Philistines. Let your aim not only be high morally but true when you seek to protect your own. The brutal assaults on our women Id come to an end if our men infested the same manhood of A. Walker. Some of our women really feel honored to be the garbage can for a white man, knowing these men have no intentions for good but only seek their bodies for the pleasure of their own selves. Such women should be organized from the ranks of our men and left to work out in soul's salvation, as they be to drag down our race with shame. The Chicago Defender. Accused Officers Well Known.

A full history of the case will be given next week. punished one of the girls by putting her in a dark room without supper. She didn't want us to say prayers. When Mary Hayden was playing once she kicked her. "My limbs were crooked and my knees knocked together. I told Mrs. Covington that I did not want to scrub the floor, but she made me scrub." MR. MESSER'S LETTER TO DR. GEO. C. HALL. Messrs. Rosenwald and McCormick Highly Delighted at the Showing Made at the South Side Y. M. C.A. Before the President. Dr. Geo. C. Hall, 3249 Wabash Ave., Chicago, Ill. My Dear Dr. Hall—In behalf of the officers of the Y. M. C. A. of Chicago I desire to express their hearty appreciation of the valuable service you have given in perfecting arrangements for Quinn Chapel meeting. The fine work of your Executive Committee was apparent in the complete arrangement which made the meeting such a significant success. The speakers and guests commented very favorably on the splendid type of men who were present and the smoothness with which the meeting was handled. The addresses of Rev. Callis and Rev. Bradden and yourself were most appropriate and convincing. That of Mr. Roberts introductory remarks was particularly pleasing. Again expressing my personal gratitude for your splendid and opportune leadership, I am Truly yours, L. WILBER MESSER. Gen'l Sev. WHAT'S IN A NAME? Dr. Andrew L. Smith Can Play Golf if His Name Isn't J. D. Rockefeller. Asheville, N. C., Nov. 3—Westerday, while the Defender's special correspondent was strolling along the links in the above named city, the click of a golf ball as it was struck by the golf stick and the cry of triumph from the golfer caused the reporter to wend his way nearer to the scene of activity. When, lo, and behold! out into the opening rushed Dr. Andrew L. Smith, who is now a member of Asheville's smart set and resides at 95 Hill street. The doctor, or is soon will be, making golf enthusiasts of the entire city and don't be surprised if you receive word that each house has a private golf links. SETS THANKSGIVING DAY Monday President Taft, in the temporary capital of the United States, Chicago, issued his annual Thanksgiving proclamation, calling upon citizens of the United States to celebrate Thursday, November 30, next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer. The fifth Thursday in November brings Thanksgiving day this year instead of the fourth, as usually betals. Until the administration of President Johnson the fourth Thursday was designated for the observance, regardless of whether there was a fifth Thursday in the month. THE WHEELERS ARE THE PEOPLE. If the necessity arises for the purchasing of clothing on credit allow us to recommend the firm of Wheeler and Company as one of the most reasonable in the city. Mr. Wheeler, the proprietor, is a young man it is a pleasure to meet, being intelligent and of considerable experience. He understands the many obstacles one must surmount and is lenient in every particular. So remember when in need of credit give this gentleman a MACK WILEY STILL IN JOLIET—WHY? Not Only Lawyers, But Ministers Have Robbed His Sisters Out of Over $500 Hard-Earned Money, Saying They Would Plead With Governor in His Behalf—Dr. Anna B. Scholtz Their Only Friend. "Why standeth thou afar off, O Lord? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? These are the words of David, as he made his complaints to God. These words can also be amply applied to the case of Mack Wiley, the colored youth, who in protecting his pregnant sister from the blows of an officer's billy was only able to so by taking the life of said policeman. On Halloween night in 1903 Wiley's sister, Mrs. Hattie Payne, along with some other women, were attired in men's clothing celebrating the night. The officer seeing them thought they were up to mischief because their color was black. He rushed up to Mack's sister and with out a word, struck her over the head. She cried to the police that she was innocent but he struck her again. Another officer rushed up and they held this woman till they investigated a certain place to see if damage was done. She was found innocent. When Mack's sister reached a friend's home she found her husband there. He inquired of her head the cause of the bruises on her head. She, like a faithful wife, told him the story but asked him not to question the officer for his deeds. On the return home that night they met the officer. The sister's husband went to the officer in a manly way and asked why he had struck his wife. The officer, without a word struck her husband several times and knocked him unconscious with his club. Wiley's sister begged the officer for mercy. He rushed at her, seized her by the neck and began to strike her in the ribs with his club. Mind you, Wiley's sister was pregnant and this officer was well aware of the fact. The woman yelled "help." Mack Wiley, who was three or four blocks away, heard the shouts and came immediately to his sister's aid. Upon seeing his approach, this officer drew his revolver in order to shoot Wiley. Wiley was too quick for him. He seized the hand that held the revolver at the same time inflicted three wounds in the officer's neck and head that caused his death. This is what this young man done to protect his sister. He did no more than any other brother would have done in protecting his sister. In every sense of the word he is a hero and deserves help and praise. For this deed he was given a life's imprisonment at Joliet. His sister was given from one to fourteen years. However, Governor Deneen pardoned her after she had served six years and two months. Now we feel, that as citizens of this state, that we should petition the board of pardon and Governor Deenen to give this young man consideration for his liberty as he acted manly in protecting his sister. If he had been a white boy he would have been freed long ago, but color is against him. THE FATHER OF THE 13TH AMENDMENT TO SPEAK. Washington, D. C., Nov. 3.—This city is to be especially honored by the presence of former Senator John B. Henderson of Missouri, author of the 13th Amendment; through his great ability as a speaker and propounder of facts, this noble man engineered the passage of the amendment through Congress. The celebration of its 46th anniversary will take place for the first time Dec. 18 at the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, pastor. Among those invited to be present are ex-Speaker Cannon, Wm. Jennings Bryan, President Taff, Vice President Sherman, Congressman Powers of Kentucky, Sulzer of New York and Campbell of Kansas; Senators Culom, Sutherland, Borah, Bristow and others; Dr. Booker T. Washington, Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Whitfield McKinley, Register Napier, Auditor Tyler, Assistant Attorney General Lewis, Judge Robert H. Terrell, John C. Dancy, Assistant Supt. R. C. Bruce and all of the local ministers. SAM LANGFORD IMITATES GATES. Pugilist Charters Steamer in Hurry to Catch Boat to Australia. Seattle, Nov. 3.—Sam Langford is grabbing the spotlight from Charlie Gates and others who have a pennant for hiring special trains and the like, for he has chartered a special steamer to transport him from Seattle to a point on the high seas to make connection with the Zeelandia, which steamship will get him to Australia in time to engage in some half dozen scraps that have been arranged for him. The Zeelandia leaves Vancouver for Australia some time early in the morning and to overcome this contingency the fastest of the steamers on Puget Sound has been specially chartered to rush the fighter to sea in time to make the transfer. MR. BEN JOHNSON NOT INSANE. Shot Down Because He Refused to Ride on Lower Deck of Ferryboat With Cattle and Wagons—Was Neatly Dressed and Owns Farms in Neighboring Parish. (Special Correspondent to the Chicago Defender.) New Orleans, La., Nov. 3.—The story that Ben Johnson, who was shot down Wednesday on the Algiers ferryboat was insane is untrue. I was on deck at the time and saw the whole affair. Ben Johnson, a neatly dressed property owner of this state, was sitting on the upper deck of the Algiers ferryboat among the white passengers. Several of the men went to him and ordered him down in the lower deck by dealing him several kicks. Then he resisted and drew a revolver. Some of the white men sailed an iron rod and rushed at him the second time, then Johnson fired. Several white men fell. After he emptied his gun, the crowd rushed in on him again before he could reload; he began to use his empty gun as a club, wounding them. In the midst of the fight several shots were fired into his body by the mob on board. MAJOR ARTHUR BROOKS HERE WITH PRESIDENT'S PARTY. The Recognition of the Race is Manifest in the Selection of Major Brooks as Chief "Aide" to President Taft on His Western Tour. Major Arthur Brooks, of Washington, D. C., is in the city with the President's party, at the Blackstone Hotel. Major Brooks has been for years the confidential man of the President, and is one of our foremost men and a graduate of Harvard University. THE ELITE'S $10,000 DOLLAR BUFFET. Extensive repairs are being made on that popular cafe, The "Elite," everything is being redecorated from front to back and the management is making of its buffet one of the most beautiful in the state, it is being remodeled at the cost of $10,000. And until further notice, the "aeroplane" style of waiting on the guests will be in vogue, and the effect is beautiful. The waiters are each supplied with an airship and their disappearance in them is a sight to see and then when they quietly drop, down beside you with your order, well just go and see them, "that's all." PRESIDENT TAFT AT QUINN. Last Sunday President Taft was at Quinn Chapel and spoke to 3,000 young and old men to their delight. The church was crowded to its fullest capacity and the speeches were all candid and to the point. We are sorry to state that Chicago River was made richer by our article and the speeches made by our messenger stumping his foot and losing most of our copy on the river bridge, alided with the high wind, he was unable to gather the matter up fast enough and at least a dozen articles were lost. Mr. Messers' letter was the only thing saved. MISS C. BOWEN OF MT. MEIGS ALA. IN THE CITY. Miss Cornelia Bowen of Mt. Meigs, Ala., through whose untiring energy the legislature of that state was induced to pass a bill appropriating $8,000 to the reform school for colored boys that had previously been supported by the women's state federation of clubs, and who is principal of the Mt. Meigs school, passed through our city this week after having spent three months at the sanitarium at Batt Creek, Mich. While here she was the guest of Mrs. Thomas Pearson, 3600 Wabash avenue. MR. DAY IS HIGH-TONED NOW Mr. and Mrs. Charles Day have moved from 3001 Armour avenue to their beautiful two-flat building at 6424 Vincennes avenue. While interviewing Mr. Day in his well appointed den a few days ago the Defender reporter's attention was called to two men looking up longingly toward the den window. They had been refused admittance. They were some old associates, Mose Samuels and Ed Shanklin, whom Mr. Day will not recognize hereafter. 300 AT DANCING SCHOOL. Last Wednesday evening the Colonial ancing Academy took on the hue of ten years ago when that hall was in its prime.

(Special to the Chicago Defender.) Evanston, Ill., Nov. 3.—Is it fair to Evanston's thrifty substantial citizens to be put in the limelight and subjected to a scathing relentless criticism because of the rashness of an insignificant person who to us is practically unknown, whose only reason for living here is that he has found a lawyer and all are prospering. The relations between the whites and the colored are pleasant—not the least bit of friction between them is in evidence. The colored people seem to have a property acquiring fever. There seems to be generally on every hand splendid evidences of race prosperity. They present. Dr. W. F. Garnett, Dentist, Who Denies the Assertion That He Will Not Push Theater Suit. soft job in a white private family, and when they tire of him all he has to do is to pack his carpet bag, board a train and the chances are that he will not find it necessary to say good-bye before departing—this is John Guy, the man who wrote the article for the Chicago Defender entitled "Jim-crowmish" in a restaurant. Mr. John Guy, who during his residence in our fair city has never been identified with any of our institutions, has never been guilty of an act that commands him to the respect and confidence of the people, and has no interest here outside of a job. Mr. William T. Mason, the man whom Mr. Guy accuses of segregating the patrons who frequent his restaurant came to Evanston less than twelve years ago penniless, but by dint of hard work, self-denial and honesty of purpose has made of himself one of the most prominent men of our city. He devoted his attention to the development of his business with rare business insight, he purchased real estate in the center of the business district of our city upon which he has erected a magnificent building which he now occupies. His credit at the banks is A No. 1, his character is above reproach and his life is a splendid example of thrift rewarded by prosperity. He is interested in every movement that has to do with the well being and uplift of the people. His restaurant here in Evanston is by far the best of any owned and operated by a member of the race, in this part of the country and all the people in the middle west should be proud of it. This is the individual that John Guy says discriminates against his own color—but in plain blunt words Mr. Mason says that no man thinks more of his people than himself—and that he does not discriminate. That you may know that there are enough thoughtful and conservative citizen to properly handle situations of this kind, I might say that Evanston has a population of 30,000, about 3,000 of whom are colored. I challenge any community of colored people to show such a wonderful example of thrift. Out of a possible 375 families more than 140 own or are buying their own homes. They are paying taxes on more than $350,000 worth of property. They are engaged in various kinds of business—the largest livery stable in this city is owned by a colored man, and the three best restaurants in the town are operated by colored men. One man is steward of two of the finest social clubs on the North Shore. In addition, we have two physicians, one dentist and one MONIANS SPEAK OF THEIR LETHARGY Has Never Drawn the Color Line in How Townsmen Are Ready to Giant—Taking Due Delib-ter They Now Speak at Heads Have at Down.

The relations between the whites and the colored are pleasant—not the least bit of friction between them is in evidence. The colored people seem to have a property acquiring fever. There seems to be generally on every hand splendid evidences of race prosperity. They never were in a better condition to defend their rights and insist upon having them as they are today. So it can be readily understood that there are enough responsible, thoughtful and conservative persons to amply handle any situation that is presented. Had this restaurant matter been as serious as the young man would have you think, the matter would have been taken up with Mr. Mason by representative citizens and no doubt amicably settled. But this young man and his advisers evidently decided that the affair was so grave and disastrous that it needed summary correction and that the right way to correct it was to rush into print, call the attention first of all to the colored people in the state of Illinois to the matter; not satisfied with that, bring the article intact as published in the Defender to a white paper here in Evanston and have it copied verbatim. No investigation is made as regarding facts. The Evanston white paper gives the article first page prominence and credits the Chicago colored paper with the original. By this time the colored people here found themselves "all messed up." The situation reminded me of some spiteworker, dragging the putrid carcass of a dead animal into your front yard and looking from behind a sheltering fence while you shelter from whence the stench eminates. This same young man rushed into print a few days later by threatening to sue an Evanston theater for attempting to "jim-crow" him. Since the happening of that incident, we have A. B. Attorney John R. Auter. learned that his white boss advised him to "slow up" on his theater suit and that he is now as quiet and gentle as a little lamb. So finally the Evanston colored people have received a lot of unwelcome, unnecessary notoriety and an avalanche of embarrassment through irresponsible, unreliable and officious persons and they are thoroughly tired of it. Before writing this article, I discussed the matter with many of the leading men of our city and they agree with the sentiment herein expressed. They say they cannot understand what good can come from airing our soiled linen before the public. They further say that they invite investigation of all matters affecting our well being before we are precipitously hurled into the limelight of newspaper publicity. Respectfully submitted: Dr. W. F.

Mr. Josiah Butcher of this city and Miss Mattie Hill of Pokagon were quietly united in marriage last Sunday afternoon in Cassopolis. Rev. G. W. H. Hill of 2nd Baptist church, was most wonderfully surprised last Sunday morning by a Harvest Home festival which was donated him by his members and friends. As he entered his church he found the majority of the congregation present and the choir singing "Labor on." He was so surprised that his large eyes grew larger and still larger. This is his second year with his congregation. The B. Y. P. U. of the second Baptist church rendered a program last Sunday evening. Miss Meda Allen was one on the program, the subject of her paper being "Character," which read as follows: "A good name is rather to be chosen than riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold." Prov. 22:1. Men will work night and day, loose sleep and even health in order to gain a reputation or to get money and meanwhile forget the sustenance of their character. There is no height: too tall, no depth too low, no breadth too broad, nor circle wide that a man of ambition will not strive to gain for a reputation. But after all this endeavor it finally comes to naught. But a character will remain for ever. The main object in life that every person should strive to maintain is a character rather than a reputation. What constitutes a good name? 1st, a hope in Christ and a blessed hope in a new life after death. What is prized in this world more preciously than gold or silver? Nothing. Men will strive with all of their strength, mind and soul for gold and silver, and many will even lose their soul, sell their character and betray their dearest friends for gold or silver, and even at the treacherous Judas, will try to sell their own Saviour for a small amount of silver. Reputation is what men think you to be, but character is what God knows you to be and what you really are. Therefore, we should all endeavor to gain a character in preference to a reputation." Master Lesley and Cleo Bryant entertained a few of their little friends Hallowe'en evening while Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Bryant entertained the parents of the children. SKILLFUL OPERATION PER- FORMED. Surgeons at County Hospital Success fully Repeat Famous Operation of Dr. D. H. Williams. While surgeon-in-chief at Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C., some years ago, Dr. Daniel H. Williams made himself famous by an operation known as the Caesarian section. This week at the Cook County Hospital this operation was repeated. Mrs. Emma E. Simmonson, 464 Cottage Grove avenue, was the patient. Physicians were in attendance upon her when it was noticed she had become suddenly affected with a swelling in the larynx. The affliction was so swift that the patient was dead before anything could be done to aid her. Dr. Daniel P. Tetar, assistant county warden, was summoned, and conceived the idea of saying the child by an operation known as the Caesarian operation, so called because it was a similar operation that brought Julius into the world. ation wi successful and it THIS WOMAN A GOOD VULCAN Mrs. Anna M. Albrecht, a Resident of New York, Becomes an Expert Blacksmith. New York.—Woman has crossed the last frontier of man's trades. Mrs. Anna M. Albrecht of this city is the successful invader, having won the distinction of being the only woman blacksmith in New York city and possibly the pioneer of American women in that trade. Mrs. Albrecht is a sturdy woman of 35, the mother of three children and the chief aid and assistant of her husband in his smithy. She can heat rivets, set wheel bands, straighten Mrs. Albrecht at the Anvll. spokes and set shoes with the skill and strength of any Vulcan. Mrs. Albrecht has been a blacksmith for two years. She came to the aid of her husband when he was unable to accomplish all the work that he had to do and yet could not afford the pay of an assistant. Mrs. Albrecht, although new to the work caught the trick of it so well that many of her husband's customers have insisted that she do the jobs they bring. For this reason she remains in the smithy, although, with her old, Albrecht has prospered so well that he now employs two assistant blacksmiths and wagon repairers. She used to be in the shop from early morning till sunset, but now she passes only a few hours there every day. Mrs. Albrecht does not regard her trade as unusual for a woman. "It seemed the only thing to do," she said. "My husband needed help and so I helped him. I used to notice people stopping to watch me as they passed, but I soon forgot I was attracting attention. There's no reason in the world why women shouldn't be black smiths if they're strong enough to weld the tools. There's no more skill required for it than for a good many tasks in housework, and practice makes perfect, you know." The woman blacksmith's costume is not at all indicative of her amazing profession. At the anvil Mrs. Albrecht wears an old dark short skirt and a gingham dressing sacque with a low, frilled collar and sleeves cut off above the elbow. Her forearms are well developed through her use of the heavy tools. She says that she likes the work and that she will continue at it as long as there is a demand for her services. MOREY'S IS TO BE REPLACED Yale Alumni Arranging to Establish a Duplicate of the Famous Eating House. New Haven, Conn.—Yale alumni in all parts of the country, who learned sometime ago of the passing of "Morey's," a famous old student eating house, have raised a fund to replace it and practically reproduce it in an old house on York street, a Yale's Famous Eating House. block from the college campus. The rooms in this York street house will be arranged exactly, as in the original tavern, and on the walls will be hung the same old prints and the famous table tops on which Yale students for many generations have carved their initials. BASKET BALL INJURES WOMEN Physician Declares Game Is Not a Sport for Girls Because of Its Dangers. Spokane, Wash.—Paul Pattison of Colfax, prosecuting attorney of Whitman county, Washington, whose wife is recovering in a Spokane hospital from an injury sustained while playing basketball in the championship series, is authority for the statement that with a single exception every member of the Colfax team, of which he was manager, has undergone an operation, and that every player on the Chesnee Normal School team has been under the surgeon's knife. Dr. A. E. Shuht, who attended Mrs. Pattison, declares that basket ball is injurious and should not be engaged in by girls or women, adding: "The nature of women should keep them from this dangerous sport." Dollar a Kiss la Price. Los Angeles, Cal.-One dollar was the price paid for a kiss by David Bell, a taxicab driver. Bell took the kiss from Miss Violet Templeton of San Francisco, whom he had transported to the railroad depot, where she suddenly discovered that she was without funds. Miss Templeton, upon making the discovery, said her face was her fortune and leaned forward. Bell took the hint and the kiss was they. HAS A STEADY GRAFT SMALL BOY TOOK PICTURE OF SISTER IN WORK RIG. Now She Has to Pay Him 25 Cents for a Print Each Time Her Beat Beau Is to Call, and Youth Rejoices. Perhaps the ornerlest, meant small boy extant lives in New York. This boy's sister, who is of marriageable age, gave him a cheap camera for his birthday recently. The boy used his camera for legitimate purposes for a few days, but that way of using the machine finally palled upon him and he thought up a scheme. He waited until his sister got her self rigged out for her share of the work in the weekly housecleaning. Then, unknowingly to her, he took a full-length snapshot of her just as she was. The young woman is pretty and decidedly winsome looking, but this negative, taken of her by her small brother, shows her standing with a broom in her hand, clad in a loose, voluminous, ornate calf wrapper, with a towel tied around her head and with her paper-cured hair, giving her the appearance of a beetle. The boy developed the negative and made a print of it. When he showed it to his sister she thought it was rather funny, not suspecting the "edge" which the negative gave the small boy over her. "He's a comin' tonight, ain't he?" said the small boy after showing his sister the print. "He? Who? Mind your own business, kid!" said the sister after the manner of sisters thus addressed by younger brothers in such connections. "He's a-comin' tonight," repeated the small boy. "How much do you give me for the picture of you?" Then she saw the connection. "Why, you little incorrigible!" she said, "what do you—" "Gimme a quarter and I won't show it to him," said the boy in a business-like tone. And he stood pat. Expostulations and pleadings didn't go. He held out for his terms, which were 25 cents, payable in advance, no more, no less. She promptly tore it up and put it in the fire. But the boy still had the negative hidden away, and on the very next occasion when his sister's young man was due to call in the evening he sprang another print from the negative upon her. He got another quarter for the surrender of this print, too He knows a good thing when he has got it, does this extraordinarily mean, small boy, and he has been flashing one of the prints from the negative upon his sister every night upon which her may-be youth is due for a visit. She has offered him $1 for the negative, but the boy prefers to draw interest instead of sacrificing his principal, and he retains possession of the negative up to the hour of going to press. Cure That Failed The story recently published in a southern newspaper, to the effect that an ignorant negress had given her little girl a mixture of dog's blood and powdered bone to cure her of a fever, recalls an Indian prescription contained in an old volume entitled "Primitive Superstitions." An Indian had been desperately hurt in a fight with a grizzly bear, and the medicine man prescribed a mixture of rattlesnakes' heads, worn-out moccasins and chewing tobacco, seasoned with pepper and bear's grease, of which the patient was to drink a pint every half hour. "He was a brave man," says the story, "but he died with the utmost expedition." The members of the tribe agreed that the remedy was faultless, and that death was due to the fact that the medicine man bad failed to learn that it should be administered to the accompaniment of a dance and a yell. Snug Bed for a Queen. Instances of something strangely like humor sometimes creep into the British periodicals, in spite of everything. Among the stories told by the London papers of the late Dr. Robinson Duckworth, canon of Westminster, is one of a somewhat uncourtiest remark which he made once when showing Queen Victoria over Westminster abbey. When they came to the spot where kings and queens lie, Queen Victoria shivered a little and said: "I should not care to be buried here—it seems so cold and damp." "Madam," replied Duckworth, "I assure you it is perfectly dry. You would be quite nice and snug." It strikes a mere American that the queen's part of this interview shows more humor than the reverend canon's. But Victoria's sense of humor was Teutonic. A Strike on Babel The confusion of tongues had done its destined part, work on the tower of Babel being pretty much suspended, when all at once Welsh emerged from the racket. The sound of consonants being pronounced without the help of vowels was at once seen to cause no small uneasiness in high quarters. "No use overdoing the business!" these hastily exclaimed, and forthwith called a halt. As for Welsh, what was done could not, of course, be undone; but the ensuing distribution of languages happily relegated it to the remote corner of a remote island of the sea, so that the embarrassment was by no means what it might have been—Puck. "Wireless" Lighthouses The French government has decided to install wireless sending apparatus on the lighthouses near Cape Finisterre and on a lightboat, stationed near the mouth of the Seine river, for the protection of vessels during fog. These "wireless lighthouses" will each emit a characteristic signal, conveying no special meaning, but calculated to be easily "heard" and intended only to enable vessels to locate, by means of the Bellini-Tosl radio-compass, the direction of these lighthouses relative to the ship, and to set their courses accordingly—Popular Mechanics PHYLLIS WHEATLEY CLUB. A splendid meeting was held at the home, 3530 Forest avenue, Nov. 1. The program was arranged by the art section and was excellent. Master Ralph Foster shows that he is perfectly at home at the plano and his audience was delighted with his selections. Mrs. Gordan Handy sang in her own sweet way, "If I Forget," and it was well received by those present. Judge Moore, ever ready to help us on our programs with his grand and lofty ideas, appears always at his best when talking on the arts and crafts movement. His talks are very instructive and are always well received by the audience. We thank all who gave us their services at this and all other meetings. Each meeting proves more interesting. The ways and means committee made a very nice report on their social. The night was a very disagreeable one and they deserve great credit for their effort. Donations from the reception held at 3226 Prairie avenue amounted to $22. We are very grateful to the many friends who attended or sent in their donations. We have kept the names of all who so kindly remembered us. Mrs. Mercer presided over the meeting Wednesday, Mrs. Fischer being absent on account of her daughter's illness. Miss Mabel Bolden served a splendid luncheon at the social hour, Mrs. Jessie Johnson, our financial secretary, is on the sick list again. We hope to see her out soon. Any donations will be received by her for the home at 3026 Vernon avenue. Among our visitors were Mrs. Mary Davenport, president of the Mother's Circle of Bethel church, and Mrs. J. Noel of the same club. Also Lily Foster of Cornell Charity club and Mrs. Priestly of Evanston. All gave us words of encouragement. Meeting of the house committee Thursday, Nov. 9, at 3530 Forest avenue. Visitors and donations always welcome. MILDRED MILLER ON DANCING. It is said frequently by our detractors that we Afro-Americans are simply a race of initiators. It is not our intention to settle that question now, but granting that we are initiators, let us see to it that we select the best and most intelligent of any race for our pattern. We know the condition of the Negro race in this country. We know that to rise from bondage, peonage and the degrading evils accompanying such conditions, we must select as models not the idle rich, nor the ignorant poor, but those splendid people whose daily lives are worth while. These thoughts were called forth by the announcement that a certain dancing school would have "a Sunday evening school like the Germans and other foreign people." Now why should our best young Negroes wish to imitate the class of Germans and other foreigners who frequent public dance balls on Sunday evenings? Why not follow after those foreigners who work by day and study by night, spend all their leisure moments in reading rooms and public libraries A A. E.

Aside from the above and many other reasons, let us come back to the teachings of mother and the command of Him who doeth all things well—"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." M'R.

The parlors and reception hall were decorated with choice cut flowers. Miss Carmillia Hightower served at the punch bowl throughout the evening. In the back parlor were two tables heavy laden with handsome linens as gifts from their friends. The Sterrs' residence is indeed beautiful and spacious and is the headquarters for the Tuskegee teachers. The gay bunch of young folks spent their time dancing by the sweet strains of Prof. Walker's band. The ladies were all in their handsome evening gowns which helped to make the whole affair beautiful.

It is with much regret we give information to the public of the early departure from our city of Mr. Chas. THE MISSING MAN Reese, who is known to the Chicago public as the "sweet voiced tenor." He is one of the most popular tenors in the city and the leading churches are ever desirous of his services on all occasions, especially as soloist at funerals. Mr. Reese is being transferred by the Chicago branch of the Studebaker Auto Company to their eastern branch in New York City. The tenor has installed his mother in a nicely furnished flat here and will leave Tuesday for his future home. Along with his work for the Auto company Mr. Reese will enter the New York Musical and Dramatic college. The gentleman carries a beautiful letter of introduction from Dr. D. P. Roberts, pastor of Bethel of this city, to Rev. R. Ransom, pastor of Bethel in New York. Mr. Reese will sing at Bethel church Sunday morning, "The Penitent," by Bersley. We are sorry to lose our tenor but will look forward to his short visit he will pay during the month of February. MR. JOHN WHITE BRINGING BRIDE.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1911. —November brought a real touch of winter. —November 7th is election day, you know. See that you vote and vote right. See that there's an attractive race institution or business place depicted on it. —Our ministers demonstrated the fact that they were born orators at the Taft meeting. —The four hundreds, three hundreds and the twenty-threes all gave something social last week. And invite the addressee to visit said business or institution when they visit the city. In a word, use post cards that show your successful achievements. While in Chicago President Taft issued the usual Thanksgiving proclamation and for once the "Windy City" became the temporary capital of the United States. "Give us liberty or give us death," quoted Attorney Charles E. Erbstein last week in defense of Moss Enright. John Raymond Auter was no doubt one of the associate counsels in the case. —A party of millionaires with our Mr. Rosenwald at their head, visited Tuskogee Institute and Fiske University last week. They were fully convinced that the money spent on the education of the Negro is bringing excellent results. —Although Taft made a very favorable speech at the Y. M. C. A., his chances of securing the Negro vote should he run again, are very slim. We are beginning to learn to judge a man by what he has done rather than by what he promises to do in the future. We notice that a certain newspaper friend of ours (one who holds down an editorial chair with becoming dignity) still plays a good knife and fork at lunch time and resumes those weapons with great success at supper time. Evidently Dan Cupid has not interfered with his appetite as he has with his heart. The testimony of several county wards who appeared before the County Civil Service commission this week in the trial of John H. Whitter, suspected罪犯, probation officer, does not peak well for the treatment they received while in the care of our well known officers, Mrs. Elizabeth Covington and Mrs. Louise McDonald. If true there should be a speedy remedy for such abuses; if not, the accused should come to the front at once and dispute it. "The Jolly Bean Eaters" is now the name of our popular cartoon, but time was when a number of our male citizens made up a small army known as the "Original Bean Eaters." Then it was that succulent portions of the chief product of the stock yards and the most select brand of Boston's famous fruit (?) made up the main course of the mid-day meal. With apologies to Ananias, editor of "Dreams, Just Dreams." Hallowen'en brought in the neighborhood of five thousand people to State and Thirty-first street, and while it was bolsterous, noisy crowd, they all seemed to be good-natured. In fact one had no business there if he could not take as well as receive. Very little, if any, real damage was done. One man had his wagon broken by the street cars and a few had their clothes torn, but the police without making an arrest kept the crowd in check. However, it is just as well that Halloween comes but once a year. The fact that we can promote and conduct a meeting on such manmoth proportions as that held at Quinn Chapel last Sunday, when not only the dignitaries of our own city, but the president of these United States took part, is one of the strongest arguments of the rise and progress of the race. We are always on approval, so to speak, and when we are weighed and found not wanting, either individually or collectively, our stock rise 9 per cent. That we made good Sunday is evidenced by the letter Mr. Messes to Dr. George Clevall, in another part of the paper. Another column of this issue we the annual report of theient Hospital and Training for nurses, together with an Post that postal. appeal for financial assistance. The work of this splendid institution is known to every citizen, club, lodge and association and this should be the last time that such an appeal should be necessary. Less than $7,000 is needed at this time to put the hospital upon the care of a patient, a mined effort would give Chicago a self-supporting hospital that would be the pride of the entire race. "It wouldn't do any harm to investigate the societies who are caring for dependent children. They may be deserving, but in face of the fact that several of these societies are now under the ban for either neglecting willfully or otherwise the poor, helpless little creatures, leads us to believe that sentiment and not sense is playing a large part. The two little babies who were stripped naked and tied up in a sack and left all night in a coal shed is a sample of the tender care bestowed upon these fortunates. These homes should be abolished and the city should have accommodations and facilities for making men and women of these wards. A contributor to our news columns last week was very much surprised at the lack of respect that the Chicago Tribune displayed toward the race by designating them by the hateful terms of "Negress and Black Mammy," etc, but it is no new trait with this newspaper whose owners never had a thing for the people of color to do even in their homes. During the active service of the late "Raymond," a special correspondent for this journal, that splendid writer never ran amuck except when he wrote about the Negro. On one occasion when covering the South in the interest of his paper he declared that "the greatest ambition of the working men was the possession of a pair of Wagon pants and a red bandana handkerchief." Circumstances compelled the Tulane to meet the popular demand in price and perhaps circumstances will teach it concerning the proper manner in which to speak of ten millions of loyal American citizens. Another daily paper has recently displayed the same failing but we hope that it was only an unintentional mistake. It is not wise, neither is it exercising good judgment to speak what you think at all times and places. So often you hear this remark, "You know me, I just speak what I think," spoken with the braggadocio of an egoist that challenges contradiction. Words harshly spoken are beyond recall. They often fall like hot molten lead, an already over-burdened hard drive clutching at your heartstrings. But human hearts and human woes do not seem to bother some people. Better leave unaudited words that carry no cheer. We cannot all give alms, few of us can give riches, but we all can speak cheering words; it costs nothing and it may prove beneficial to someone. Besides it makes yourself and your conscience on such good terms with each other, and you will eventually find more happiness than you can possibly pause long enough to think before speaking that there may be no lingering regret for words harshly spoken and forever recall. The services at this church on last Sunday were largely attended. In the morning Rev. Callis talked on the necessity of reading the Bible, and the large audience went away much benefited. There was increased interest and attendance at the Sunday school, a young men's Bible class was organized, and Rev. H. J. Johnson was made teacher. At the evening service Rev. Callis preached on "Jesus and the Sinner," the large audience was much moved by the eloquent presentation of the subject and nine persons came forward and united with the church.

He reports having an enjoyable visit as it has been some years since he was there before. Mrs. C. C. Lewis is still confined to her home by illness but her physicians predict her speedy recovery. One of the most pleasant as well as successful birthday surprises was the one given in honor of Mr. Robert Collins of 6323 Champlain avenue on Wednesday evening, Nov. 1, by his daughter, Miss Murty. Mr. Collins was invited to a friend's house to play whist, and after the invited guests for the birthday star arrived at his home Mr. Collins was telephoned to come home immediately. Of course, it was quite natural for his friends to show interest enough to accompany him home, as they were part of the invited guests. Whist was the feature of the evening. Mr. H. S. Anderson won the first prize, W. Carruthers the second, and M. H. T. Bank the booby. A sumptuous dimmer was served and of course it is useless to say the gentlemen showed their appreciation for the hostess by doing justice to the occasion. Those present were: H. Eubank of Cleveland, O.; H. S. Anderson, P. B. Waring, H. G. Hudson, A. C. Harris, R. H. Hardin, H. Humphrey, W. Carroll, R. Yerby, Julius N. Avendorph, J. W. Cross and the young man. Mr. Collins was the recipient of many good wishes. COMING Frank P. George's DANABEGAY The Grey ST. CLAIR WHITE Marie Burton Ruby Cohenman Kellton W.

Heiser, president. There is absolutely no more excuse for a man of prominence, let it be professional, political, social or otherwise, to over look the little acts of courtesy, extended him by some less prominent fellow, than it is for the man who labors under an illusion that he is prominent; yet unfortunately, the prominent man, unfortunately from his lack of appreciation, shows prominently his short comings and a lack of knowing how to put into execution his intelligence. There is, unfortunately another kind of (human leaches) identified with the race, namely, the fellow that knows just the man to call on when he wants a favor done, but invariably overlooks that same man, when extending courtesies. That cannot be human nature, nevertheless, it shows to be one of the strong weak points of the average race man. Mrs. C. S. Washington is still confined to her home on account of illness. Mrs. Joseph Prather, 2018 Colafx street, entertained at dinner Sunday Miss Robbie Tobias, Miss Wesley and Mr. William Kelley of Chicago. Mrs. Dora Dunn, 1003 Hinman avenue, who was ill last week, was able to be out Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

At an afternoon was AMERICA'S GIFT TO KAISER Replica of the Washington Monument to Von Steuben Unveiled in Potsdam. Berlin.-At Potsdam a replica of the statue erected in Washington to Gen. Baron von Steuben, the drillmaster of the American revolutionary army, was unveiled in the presence of representatives of the United States and of Germany. The American representatives were Congressman Bartholdt, of MIssissippi, and Gen. Steuben, of New York, who presented the statue to Emperor William on behalf of the people of the United States After the Steuben statue was erected in Washington the Replica of Steuben Monument. Kafka expressed a desire to have a replica of it and congress appropriated the necessary funds to carry out the emperor's wish. The replica bears the following inscription: "Dedicated to the German emperor and the German nation by the congress of the United States of America as a token of unbroken friendship. This statue is a copy of the original memorial of Gen. August Wilhelm von Steuben, born in Madgeburg, 1730, died in the state of New York, 1794, erected in Washington in grateful recognition of his services rendered in the American nation's war of Independence." Baron von Steuben, a Prussian army officer, was enlisted in the American cause through the efforts of Benjamin Franklin. The baron made a trained army of the disorganized American forces. BORES HOLE THROUGH ROCK Swirling Action of Water and Stones in Age-Long Struggle Forms Channel at Niagara. Buffalo, N. Y.-After the ice which covered the northern hemisphere during the glacial epoch had all melted there was left along the northern border of the United States those vast bodies of water now known as the great lakes. At first the flood of water found an outlet down the Mississippi valley, according to those who have made this feature of our country but later the flow changed to the Mohawk valley and finally to the St. Lawrence, that lordly river of the north. This came about that world-famous fall-Niagara, whose beauties have delighted admiring thousands each year since modern methods of travel made it easy of access. The descent from Queer Tunnel at Magara Falls. Lake Erie to Ontario was steep and as the rushing water spissled downward over its new course it began to wear away the rocks underneath. Gradually a channel was formed when deepened and slowly crept back west by year toward its present position, several miles south of the starting point. This wearing away process has done some curious things. The accompanying illustration shows a natural tunnel bored by the water of Ningar river, which is about 12 miles below the present location of the cutaway. Nothing could more clearly show the retrogression that has taken place. Various theories are advanced concerning the why and the wherefore, but it is generally conceded that the tunnel was bored out by the swirling action of water and stones in an agelong struggle with opposing forces. Hen Won't Desert Snakes Louisville, Ky.-Dr. B. F. Walters of Lancaster, Ky., has a hen that is the proud parent of seven young snakes. Sometimes ago Dr. Walters discovered seven small eggs in his yard which had been frequented by quail. He concluded the eggs were of the latter variety, and placed them under his setting hen. In due time they hatched, much to the hen's evident amusement. But, it is said, she accepted them and now they wriggle eagerly after her and come forward when she makes a noise like food. Risks Life for a Pig Lawrenceburg, ind.—In trying to save the life of a pig, L.A. Hitzfeld, 50 years old, nearly lost his own. The pig fell into a clistern and Hitzfeld tied a rope at the top and lowered himself into the eastern. He wandered and neither could the pig. He stood in water under to his neck for eight hours, while the pig swam around him in both of the MUST BE A LIVE WIRE SUCCESSFUL MAN GETS FATE'S MESSAGE INSTANTLY. He Is Quick to See Each Opportunity, Small or Big, for Advancement and Is Prompt to Act at Right Time. In the present trend of the times when every movement is regarded by a pendulum of value there are thousands of opportunities going to waste for want of people to take them when they come. As a matter of fact the history of reverses in business might be summed up in two words, "Lost Opportunity." Daily we hear the cry, "If I had only taken hold at the time." But when fate knocked at his door no one opened. In such cases the man who was asleep wakes up to the realization of the chance that has passed. There is no one who has not had the chance to climb higher some time or other. But the psychological moment arrived he was not alive to the leisure. Contrary to the general belief, a man is not confronted once, but many times, with possibilities for better things. To succeed he must be quick to see and prompt to act. The live wire in business is ready to receive the message the moment it arrives. In truth, he constitutes the third rail by which the wheels of industry are kept on the move. He feels every vibration that means advancement for himself; he also recognizes the other fellow who is traveling with him. He feels a square deal that he would be accorded because he realizes to the full what the step-by-step striving for success means. Thus the growing pains of each are minimized. If the business world were full of wildewake individuals we would evolve economic principles of industry heretofore undreamed. One of the great problems that confronts the people is the conservation of waste, the result of mis-directed energy. This is to say, the attention has been focused in the opposite direction. In a word, the man who might have saved the situation was "napping" at the time when he was needed most. Thus it resolves itself to a pivotal point showing that the man who is caught napping not only injures himself, but causes a sequence of loss. It is a momentous matter on the subject is the fact that many men are on the lookout for a big opportunity and overlook the smaller or seeming lesser thing—which of itself is a failure. It is the small opportunities seized and realized that have made the big men. They have grasped the little measures and have made them measures to the full. They have appreciated the small profit, and thus the larger has come in accordance. It is for a big success to come knocking at a man's door until he has heard and answered the small one—Business. Good Mental Topic: As appearance means so much to the average woman, mentally as well as socially, the question often arises, "Is she justified in aiding or improving nature if she sees it?" Many of our well-known medical men think that "makeup" is as good a mental tonic as anyone can take and greatly advises its use, especially for the girl who has some slight personal defect—a scar, a poor complexion or bloodless lips, for the knowledge of her defects makes her shy and oftentimes sulky and miserable. We owe it to our friends as well as to ourselves to look our best at all times and the girl who can improve her appearance without harming her should do so. Nothing gives us quite the self-confidence as we feel we look well. Actresses are usually warm-hearted, senile and cheerful. That is because they make the best of themselves in face and form. An old saying is true, "The face is often a reflex of the mind," and in a measure it is no less true that the mind is a reflex of the face. When Grant Elnched At the beginning of Grant's administration a large body of ministers called upon him at the White House and made a long address, to which, says the author of "Grant, the Man of Mystery," the president was compelled to reply. After a sentence or two, Mr. Fish, then secretary of state, noticed that his voice faltered, and fearing that he might be at a loss what to say, the secretary, standing next to him, created a diversion by beginning to cough violently. Afterward Grant said to Mr. Fish: "I fortunate it was for me that you had that cough! I had felt my knees be to shake, and I do not think I could have spoken another word!" Extemporaneous expression was difficult to Grant until after his presidential career, when he became practiced in public speaking.-Youth's Companion. Taste. Now, fardon me for telling you frankly, you cannot have good architecture merely by asking people's advice on occasion. All good architecture is the expression of national life and character, and it is produced by a prevalent and eager national taste or desire for beauty. And I want you to think a little of the deep significance of this word "taste;" for no statement of mine has been more earnestly or offender contended than that good taste is essentially a moral quality. "No," say many of my antagonists, "taste is one thing, moral is another. Tell us what is pretty; we shall be gled to know that; but preach no sermons to us."—Ruskin. His Status.

The one hundred and seventh annual report of the British and Foreign Bible society, the largest, if not the oldest, of such organizations, shows that the Bible still holds its ancient lend as the most popular book ever published. In 1910 the society distributed. In 432 languages and dialects, no fewer than 903,827 complete Bibles, 1,199,239 New Testaments and 4,782,720 single scriptural books. Its receipts from these sales—for though its prices are very low, it seldom actually gives Bibles away—were more than $500,000, and in addition it received about $0,000 as legacies and donations and from invest funds. Since its foundation in 1908, it has distributed nearly 220,000 books, the sacred writings, at a cost of fully $50,000,000. Its calporete today number 1,100 and its annual output of Bibles weighs nearly 350 tons. The American Bible society, anyw the Baltimore Evening Sun, ably secoeds the work of the great British noehr almost as old, having immedited in 1816. Down to 3000 it had printed and distributed 70,000,000 copies of the New Testament and 100,000 copies of the Bible since then it has continued the work at the rate of nearly 2,000,000 copies a year. It has given especial attention to the translation of the Bible into the Indian tongues, and is now ready to supply New Testaments, at least, in every such tongue as has been reduced to writing. Of it alone it has given its intention to the Philippine and its copiers own to attribute Bibles in Tagalog and all the other dialects of the islands. Altogether these two great eclecties, with their Scotch, Prussian and Russian rivals, are now distributing fully 2,000,000 complete Bibles, 3,000,000 New Testaments and 6,000,000 lesser portions of the Scripter's a year. Just many copies of the Book are otherwise sold in the world is not to be accurately determined, but the most reliable estimates place the number at 5,000,000 a year. In the United States alone the sales often exceed 1,000,000. No other book, sacred or profane, comes within miles of this stupendous record. The Bible outsells all the other best sellers. As a matter of fact, it comes very near outselling all of them taken together. French Sailors Most of the French admirals are from the south, from which we may infer the greater success of their southern friends an politicians and perhaps their hammocks at the admiralty, says a Paris letter to London Truth. The bulk of the seamen are Normans and Bretons, but the latter are much more numerous. The Normans have in modern times grown lubberly. Under the Plantagenets they were less rich, soaked infinitely less elder brandy, had no factories and were constantly spurred to naval action by hostile Britons. This kept up that spirit of hardy seamanship which landed the Dieppe in the time of the early Valois in the Kongo and enabled them to those untusks which their sculptors transformed into such beautifully carved objects dart. The seamanship of the Provencals was brought out by the pirates of Algerines, Tunisians and Moors. Ballil Suffren, who "skimmed" the oceans in the eighteenth century of East Indiamen and British merchantmen, was a Provencal. Whenever England and France quarreled the Valois or Bourbon periods the Normans went with a rush into piracy and found in its heaps of money.

Holy Rood day was formerly a festival for British schoolboys, who were granted a holiday, without getting up a strike, for the purpose of going nutting. At Eton the boys had to write Latin verses about the fruitfulness of autumn or the cold of the coming winter before they were allowed to gather fruit from the trees they had to shake with their masters. This anniversary should inspire the city corporation and the London county council to replant the nut bushes in Epping forest and the recovered remnant of Hainault forest, of which they have the management. The hazel is supposed to have been extirpated from the royal forest of Waltham, to prevent the "tail deer" being disturbed by nutting parties of the forest from London. At present there is only one nut bush in Epping forest, and not even one in Hainault.

Early Struggles of Dr. Anna Shaw, Head of the Suffrage Association, Who Won Success Against Many Discouragements. Boston, Mass.—One of the ablest leaders connected with the woman suffrage movement in the United States is Dr. Anna Shaw, president of the National Suffrage association. She started for Alibon college, in Michigan, with just $18 in her pocket. She had earned that $18 by teaching school at $1 a week, and after she had earned it she had to wait one year for the dog tax to be collected to get her pay. Dr. Shaw was born in England, like those other pioneers of the suffrage movement, the blackwells. But her parents took her into Michigan 52 years ago, when she was eight, having stopped four years in Massachusetts on the way. They traveled days and days in an old-fashioned prairie schooner to reach their destination. Then they lived in a log cabin. The cabin was papered with spare copies of Horace Greeley's paper, and Anna learned to read from the paper on the walls, beginning with the big letters in the advertisements and progressing to the editorials. When she got that far she could read almost anything, much to her father's disgust. Miss Shaw spent tour years in college and another four in the theological and medical schools of Houston university. Her people were deeply exposed to the whole plan and told DR. ANNE SHELL her they could do nothing whatever to help her. During that eight years she had only $91 that she did not earn. She lived in an attic without any fire—in a Boston winter. She studied in bed to keep warm, her breath making frosty clouds upon the air. She had not food enough to satisfy hunger. She had not clothes enough to keep warm. Her stockings showed through holes in her shoes. She supported herself throughout the entire course by preaching and lecturing. But so many places did not pay her anything that she could average only $3.50 a week. One day she was sitting on the stairs. She had sat down because she felt too weak to get to the top. A woman whom she knew slightly came along and asked her why she was sitting on the stairs. When she found out she went away and borrowed $91 from another woman and gave it to Miss Shaw with the proviso that she was never to know from whom it came. That was the only help she had through her course. She repaid the money after she was graduated and never knew who lent it. But about this time she acquired the warm friendship of Mrs. Persis Addy, a widow. During the final year of her course Mrs. Addy took her into her home, and though the student paid the same board she had been paying, she had for it the comforts of a good home and the devoted care of Mrs. Addy. Mrs. Addy had planned to go to Europe and take Miss Shaw with her as soon as the latter should have finished her course. She died just before commencement, but in her will left Miss Shaw $1,500 for the specified purpose of taking a European trip. When she was planning this journey Mrs. Addy's father said to her: "Now, you will spend that money and it will be gone forever. Instead of cash, let me give you two bonds worth $1,500 Then I will keep the bonds for security and lend you $1,500 on them. When you get to work you can repay me as convenient, and when it is all paid the bonds will be yours again." She did this, and having acquired a certain sentiment about the matter, has done the same ever since. She has left the bonds on deposit and let the interest accumulate, and they have paid the actual traveling expenses of her three trips to Europe. Miss Shaw took the medical course because during her theological course she did missionary work in Boston. She found, to use her own words, that she "had nothing the people wanted." They did not want either her theology or her gospel. They wanted help in their material lives. She took the medical course in order that she might give them free medical treatment. It was as a missionary doctor and preacher in the slums of Boston that Miss Shaw became convinced that there were certain defects in an all male government which called for political power in the hands of women. She had always believed in woman suffrage. Now she decided to work for it. She began to speak for the Massachusetts Suffrage association and from that grew her national work. Mixing Concrete.

THE HOSPITAL PRIDE OF THE RACE. Annual Report Shows Varied Work Done by Our Physicians and Nurses. Needs of the Provident Hospital and Training School are set forth in the annual report of that institution, together with a report of the varied work being carried on there. The report, which is being mailed to the institutions and individuals who have contributed to the support of the hospital, says that it hopes in the near future to become self supporting. Meanwhile, $3,000 is needed to pay for certain necessary improvements as well as an equal sum to meet the current deficiency up to date. The "milk laboratory," which is supported by the woman's board of the hospital, is described as the means of saving many lives of infants in the vicinity of the institution. The children's tent, which is erected on the roof of the hospital, also is credited with being one of the most successful features of the work being carried on there. THE BATTLE OF LAKE ERIE, A painting in oil, representing the "Battle of Lake Erie," is on exhibition in the window of the Y. M. C. A. The battle occurred Sept. 10, 1813, and the colored sailors fought so well that all historians praise them. The flag ship "Lawrence" stood the fire of four English vessels until so many men were killed that Commodore Perry called out, "Can any of the wounded pull a rope?" Then several mangled sailors crawled on deck to do what they could and some colored sailors were so anxious for victory that they entreated Commander Perry to "throw us wounded overboard lest we be in your way." The painting is by Mr. Robert Jackson and tells the story in beautiful colors. The Centennial celebration of the "Battle of Lake Erie" will be in 1913, and it is fitting that we show our interest in respect for our heroes who helped win that great victory. ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE. William T. Lewis, the well-known automobilist, was talking lately about the 25,000-mile automobile trip he had just made in Europe. "One sees Europe in an automobile," he said. "One really sees it. Some tourists don't, you know. "Once, in Florence, I was standing on the bridge over the Arno, drinking in the beauty of the old Italian city, when a half-dozen American tourists drew near at a quick walk. "They hurried by me, every now and then consulting their watches, and, as they passed, I overheard this conversation: "Well, Florence is all right, sure!" "Florence? "Why, yes! This is Florence, ain't it? "Of course not. This is Venice." "Oh, go on! It's Monday, anyhow, and Monday's Florence; Wednesday's Venice." The Locality of Chicago. A traveling salesman out of Chicago was in Lexington, Ky., recently and had to talk over the telephone to one of his customers in a neighboring town. When he had completed the conversation he asked the demure little operator how much the charges were, and she replied: "Thirty cents." At this the C.T.S. irately declared that in Chicago one could talk to hell and back for 20 cents. The operator quietly replied: "Yes, but this is a long-distance call."—Everybody's Magazine.

In no way will it profit a person to deal at a certain store because one's parents before them were customers there; times change and customers also, the men in control may have grown grouchy, maybe their views less liberal and their honesty questionable. The same rule applies to the momentous question of politics. No man should hug his breast any principle, no matter if his father or his father's father swore by it. Let your intelligence penetrate deeper than the mere fact a certain bridge carried your foreparts over, as you might find on close inspection a dangerous, rotten board in the bridge, that would not support you if you trot on it. In many places the "Republican bridge" is rotten and will let you down sure. Of course, the construction of the bridge was at one time perfectly safe, but worms such as Marcus Kavannag, Hugo Pam and Edward A. Dicker have crept into the wood and as far as support for the race is concerned, beware, for you are treading on dangerous ground! What matter if the men who will stand by you are in the Republican or the Democratic party so long as they 39 HON. DANIEL L. CRUICE.

The Defender Hopes its Readers Will Give Him a Heavy Vote. deliver the goods, and surely it is right that we vote for the ones who will give us a chance, not those who do favors or make promises with an eye single to their own interests. Several names now up for the primary election on the Democratic ticket are those of men who assisted us to the best of their ability to make Lawyer F. L. Barnett a judge in the Municipal Court. "Tis true our cause was defeated, but John Coburn, Daniel L. Cruice and Walter M. Stanton stand today willing and prepared to fight the same battle of "right against might" when again called on. It surely would be a credit and an advantage to have one of our own race on the bench of judges. Then is it not policy to support those who will support us? Class and creed must be put aside and only the interest, loyalty and energy in the individual up for nomination should have any weight with the voters. As it is, the man behind the gun that does the work and in politics it is the man in the position and not the ticket he is on. Daniel L. Cruice, who is a candidate for judge of the Superior Court, bears a record bespeaking in its every phrase, clean handling, undaunted energy and an exceptional amount of broad-minded friendship for all the laboring people, firmly believing in labor organization, not of creeds, classes nor races, but an organizing of all laborers, fair play and complete obiteration of side issues. Let us once again urge one and all to take any required precaution in order that a step taken hurriedly because of sentiment or worthless promises may not in the years that follow cause us to repent in "sackcloth and ashes." THE VOLUNTEER WORKERS' CLUB FOR CHARITY. Mrs. Clara Johnson, President, Mrs. M. Walton, Secretary. The Volunteer Workers' club meet this week at the home of Mrs. Laura Keith, 41 West 47th street. We had an excellent meeting and the hostess served a very appetizing luncheon. The Volunteers wish to thank their many friends for their assistance in making their recent bazaar a success. The amount cleared so far from the bazaar is $159.82. The baby contest netted $66.50, the most popular baby being Master William R. Davis, $20; second, Laura Elligan, $19.40; third, Eloise Parish, $12.50. Master Davis received a silver cup, little Miss Elligan a silver spoon, and little Miss Parish a gold ring. The other babies in the contest were Vera Baker, $7.05; Junita Fowler, $5.50, and Edward Powell, $2. The first prize for selling tickets (a handsome hand painted plaque) was won by Mrs. L. H. Webster, who raised $20.50. The second prize, a hand painted cream pitcher and sugar bowl, Mrs. A. E. Whitlow, $10. Mrs. T. T. Tivis drew the lucky number for the doll. Mrs. Lightfoot drew the dainty skirt. The club will meet Wednesday, Nov. 8, at Mrs. Emma Stewart's, 5434 Normal avenue.

Connelley-Prossett. In the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Watson. West 10th street, Oct. 25, occurred the wedding of Miss Susie Connelley to Mr. Peter Prossett. Rev. A. E. Martin officiated. The bride was most attractive in a princess gown of lavender silk. Mrs. Alexander Lewis played the wedding march. The young couple were the recipients of many beautiful gifts. A reception was tendered the couple by Mrs. Robert Western and Mrs. Geo Scott. The first anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. M. W. Moore was celebrated at Monumental Baptist church Sunday, Oct. 22. A large congregation was present. Differing Terms for Color The language of money differs in different parts of the United States. On the Pacific coast the usual term for a quarter dollar is two bits. In the rural communities of New York and New England the people still talk of shillings, referring to the old colonial coin of twenty and a half cents. Use Brass Rings. In making a shoe bag or laundry bag that is to hang flat against the door, use brass rings instead of loops for slipping over the nails. They will not pull out as the loops may.

I am fortunate or unfortunate enough to have a little fairy (not the soap kind) advertise on soap) at each end of the line. One is a brunette and the other is more of a brunette. Last week the fairy from St. Louis ran up to Chi. to surprise me. She made good all right. When she phoned me to come to see her I found she was not only stopping with, but was a chum of my Chi affinity. No I didn't call and听 . Chi. affinity. No, I didn't call and I'm writing you now from St. Louis. Do you think it advisable to change my run? Yours. A B.

You might find it pretty warm here at present, but you can't rely upon it, and by the same token "that in union there is strength," I say in distance there is safety. Dear Mr. Nicknacks: A fortnight ago I attended Madam Hackley's farewell recital at Orchestra Hall, accompanied by two of Chicago's most charming young ladies. I say, with all due modesty, that I have the reputation of putting on the right thing at the right time, and this especial evening I spread myself. I had sent my own collar to the Chinaman some days previous with the distinct understanding that he was to deliver it to me that evening. Well, to make a short story long, it didn't show up, so I borrowed a collar from a roomer—during his absence—and sallied forth with my charming company. All went well until I reached my seat, which, by the way, was down in front. Perhaps the jar of sitting, perhaps I took an unusually long breath. Whatever the reason, my collar broke in front and stood about my ears. A little boy whispered to his mother loud enough to be heard a block: "Ma, is he one of the end men?" Should I have tied a handkerchief around my neck, or should I have sent the usher to the Boston store for another collar? Truly, A nice red handkerchief, Dr. Dennis, tied carelessly about your neck, would have answered admirably, since, owing to the lateness of the hour, the Boston store was closed. Dear Mr. Nicknacks. I have been unable for the past six months to accommodate the crowds of millionaires and others (mostly others), who wish to part with their shackels in the most elite place on State street. Realizing how dangerous it is in these times of hold-ups, etc., to carry money with you, I have planned on making the following extensive improvements in my place for the better accommodation of my patrons: Rescating the cane chair near the stove, put in a new front of Italian marble and glass, throw out the plaster-paris cat and put in a live one—you know there's nothing in having a dead one around—and last but not least I contemplated putting in a moving floor, and It's about this floor I want your advice. Would you have it running from the front door to the rear or vice versa? Well, Arthur—pardon me for calling you Arthur; I meant Mr Gradozoe—I would suggest that it run from the front door to the bar, around the bar till it got dizzy, then out the back door to the alley. In that way a man with limited means could make it go farther. P. S.: Have taken off the blue ribbon; notify me of the grand opening. No More Worry.

An invasion of the United States by four English boxers is to be made by Will Ames, a London manager, who has brought over Sld Smith, a clever bantam; Sld Burns, a flashy welter; Billy Marchant, said to be another Jem Driscoll in the featherweight ranks, and George Randall, a lightweight who is said to be not far behind Freddie Welsh and Wells in cleverness. Smith seeks matches with Frankie Burns, Johnny Daly and Johnny Coulon. Marchant wants to meet Abe Attel.

TENNIS CHANGES IN ENGLAND Lawns Gradually Being Replaced by Hard Surface Courts in Vogue Elsewhere—Experience Wins. "Go it, baldhead!" was a cry frequently heard at the recent lawn tennis tournament at Wimbledon, and a spectator could not help observing that gray hairs and bald heads outnumbered the locks of youth among the players after the first day or two. Yet lawn tennis is an athletic game, perhaps the most active of all summer pastimes, demanding unusual powers of endurance, and one looks for endurance and agility in the young. Finding that the daring and physical strength of youth are beaten by the experience of age, the conclusion to be drawn is that the new generation is not learning the essentials of the game. The group of veterans who beat the youngsters this year cannot be expected to do these wonders again. Young men from other countries will come again and they will win because there will be no opposition to prevent them from doing so. And why? Because, some critics say, the continent has learned the game from professionals and has learned it upon hard courts. There is a freedom and power in the foreign style which is absent from the English game, in which few risks are taken. In all probability this springs from the fact that the typical courts of the continent are not grass, but have a hard, smooth surface from which every ball makes a true bound. Scarcely one grass court in ten can be relied upon for a true bound of the ball. On such inferior surfaces style becomes cramped. First-class players are not to be trained upon third rate courts. The best promise for English lawn tennis is the fact that the clubs are losing their faith in grass. In 20 years' time the very name of lawn tennis may appear strange to our ears, the number of actual lawns devoted to the game will have become so small. Already hard courts are being constructed in every direction. In a few years they will probably give England a new school of tennis players who will meet on equal terms the best products of the continental and American clubs. GOSSIP OF SPORTDOM Toes are more important now in football than weight. Ruffner, the Purdue player, "wasn't any rougher' lots of others." Illinois has a great deal of respect for "Chicago luck" in football. In football nowadays the chiropodist takes the place of the trainer. In a world's championship series heavy batting is better than good luck. Pennsylvania's improved football team has caused Yost to sit up and take notice. In the international football game. Tripoll bears a striking resemblance to the football. Nothing but poor playing by the home team ever interferes with the baseball business. Has any one noticed the golfers bringing their clubs home? Another sign of an early winter. To hear track men talk, one would think the Olympic games were nearly as important as the city championships. Football players have abandoned the ancient practice of wearing long hair, but musicians are not quite so sensible. Balloning, like baseball, depends on the whims of the weather man, but there are no double headers in the flying game. The amateur federation bug is beginning to bob up all over the country.

BRUIN FELLS FARMER Infurilated and Badly Wounded, a 400- Pound Maine Bear Knocks Would- Be Captor Senseless and Almost Tears Him to Pieces. New York.—"The brazen impudence of the Maine bear," said a man from Main. the other day to a reporter here, "is what makes him a terror to the backwoods farmers of that state and what led to the putting of a price on his head some years ago. It also led to the invention of various devices for destroying him. "The favorite device was the trap gun. In nine cases out of ten when this gun went off it settled the bear. I have known instances, though, in which the trap gun fell a little short of doing its work thoroughly and led to unpleasant consequences for the farmer who set it. As I recall it now, a little the worst torment up man I ever saw or heard of was a farmer named Harvey, who made a trifling miscalculation once on a Maine bear that had touched off a trap gun. "The bear had busied himself for some time in playing havoc with Harvay's farm products, both of growing crops and live stock, and so Harvey lost patience with the marauder and rigged up a trap gun to put an end to his career. An experienced woodsman, one William Johnson, directed the arrangement of the trap gun, and A boy in a cowboy hat plays a baseball bat while a bear lies on the ground. CHEF'S OVEN Bruin Fells the Farmer. fortunately for Farmer Harvey accompanied that citizen when he started out to visit the gun the next morning. "Ordinarily the Maine bear gets into trouble with the trap gun during his night's outing. In the case of the Harvey bear the bear had put off his visit to the baited trap gun until morning, and it was just as Harvey and Johnson were drawing near the spot where the gun was set; that he took hol- of the bait and fired the gun. "Hearing the report the two men hastened forward and saw the bear, a very big one, writhing on the ground, bellowin- like a bull. He was badly wounded, but not so badly but that an he saw the men approaching he could get quickly to his feet and, make a rush for them. "Johnson was alert enough to get out of the way, but the bear caught the less experienced Farmer Harvey and felled him to the ground with a blow from one paw that knocked him senseless. Then the bear clawed and chewed and ripped Harvey to such an extent "that when Johnson succeeded in at last killing Bruin with a club he too, the farmer on his back and carried him home for dead. "Harvey's face was torn out of all recognition. The flesh on his arms from his shoulders down was stripped off to the bone in many places and his chest was frightfully lacerated. He wasn't dead, though, as the doctor found when he got there and took him over. When I came away from that region, where I had been hunting about that time, there was a question whether the farmer would recover from his wounds, and I never heard whether he did or not. But the bear weighed over 400 pounds." Harem Skirt Kills Horse Washington, D. C.—A woman wearing a harem skirt preoccupated a near riot in the downtown section, brought the police reserves on the run and caused the death of a cab horse that was seized with equine hysterics. The woman alighted from an Alexandria car near the postoffice, where a crowd of men and boys, shouting "tear it off her," started an attack. Leutonant Sprinkle of the First precinct station hurried the woman into a cab and the driver whipped up his horse. The jeering crowd started in pursuit. After traveling a few blocks the horse sulked. The frightened woman jumped from the cab and sought to inspire some energy into the animal. Taking one look at the cause of all the trouble, the horse let out a groan of protest and dropped dead. At this point the reserves arrived and drove away the crowd. Makes a Deadly Tea of Wood Perth Amboy, N.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC By Minnie Adams. A Landslide of Good Acts are Coming Down the Stroll and Every Act Receives its Full Share of Applause. And still they come, oh I mean good acts, not only mixed teams but male and female teams. Then one can find a female who wants to assert her independence, doing what the boys call, "hoofing it all by her lonesome," and lots of times I guess the poor girls do feel lonely. Next Week at the Pekin-Engagement Extraordinary. So great was the interest displayed at the appearance of Taliboo that the management has contracted with Mr. Harris to present a series of dramas. On next Monday night the Pelkin will present the original drama entitled "The Bogus Prince of Hayti," with a powerful cast of well known dramatic actresses and actors. Mr. Harris, the author, will be seen at his best, supported by the public's dramatic reader, Mrs. Fannie Hall Clint, Mr. E. J. McCoo, Mr. George Hutchinson, Miss Bettliro Fortson, Mr. C. R. Edgehill, Mrs. Clara Hutchinson, Mr. S. P. Jones, Mrs. Jennie Lacey, Mr. A. H. Graham, Mrs. Hattie Payton and Mr. Ferris Scott. This play was thoroughly rehearsed. At a dress rehearsal this week it was given in full, and the critics pronounced it the best play that has ever been seen from the pen of any colored author. In this play there will be many scenes of intense interest, full of pathos, love and hatred. It will give Mr. Harris an opportunity to show his great dramatic ability. Mr. Leon Motts' efforts to please the public are being highly appreciated and it gives us all an opportunity to spend an entire evening at the people's theater. The policy of one show a night, except Sundays, when two are given, is a treat to all. Notwithstanding this prodigious production there will be no advance in prices. The seats in the reserved sections can be secured in advance. Main floor, 15 cents; box and loge seats, 25 cents; entire balcony, unreserved, 10 cents. We expect the people to support an enterprise that will have a tendency to improve the conditions of the Negro and their amusements. Musical and Dramatic Review-By From the number of patrons at each of our play houses during the rainy week one is almost convinced that no amount of rain would or could dampen the ardor of the music loving public. And now remains the question. Will the snow which is "just over there" freeze them out? Well, I should say never. Not as long as they keep such hot ones on the stroll. ```markdown ``` The Pekin. Mr. Sam Arnold does some good singing, only his phrasing is a trifle faulty, which greatly hampers the intelligent understanding of his second solo. A few hints taken from the director of the orchestra, Oliver Perry, would be the thing for the singer to take under consideration. Say, but Billy Nickols and his imitations are the "goods"; that is, if we can close our eyes to dear Billy's costume. Oh, if Billy would only change it! Dress loud, my boy, but leave off the kimono. Mr. Nickols is very clever and we only wish he would resuscitate the lost art of ventriloquism, which we see he is a master in. Madam Brown, a soprano, was well received. She has a voice well worth hearing and her manner is charming, but the madam has a little too much "embondoint" (as the French say) to dress in the style of costume she effected. Something more dignified would suit her better. Brown and Delk, the two sprightly dancers, who have been seen all along the stroll are as usual cleaning up at the above named theater. The "barn yard frolckers" are certainly "peaches" and the act is filled with pretty youngsters and headed by the well known comedian, Coleman Minor, the act goes big and is well worth the prominence it assumes. Last but by no means least our pride in the wrestling world, Illa Vinecast, is as usual defeating all comers. He is surely a wonderful specimen of humanity, with muscles and sinews like whipcords, a cool head and a fearless disposition even in the face of great odds, as was the case Tuesday evening when he faced an opponent at least 75 pounds heavier than himself, but with the lutheness of the panther in his work he as ever before caused defeat to cover the brow of his high foe. A pretty piece of work was done by Calvin Repress, a Douglass Center wrestler, who defeated Frank Armett, gaining three falls in 22 minutes. Although young he showed lots of the grit and endurance which will some day make him famous. The wrestlers will be the main attraction and will meet all comers this week. The Grand. The bill the first part of the week was far above the average. Every number was a head-liner. Although an innovation in the form of a change of bill comes later in the week the admirers of this house found much in the first half of the week to make them take notice. Each act proved to the patrons that the above named play house is catering to the pleasure of its patrons and any act that is not up to the standard will not find a resting place in this pretty home of merriment. So go there when you please and you will get your money's worth. The Monogram. With a voice as thin as a chicken and I guess the loosest man in the state of Illinois (and look out he is not the loosest in the world) is Chicken Reel, a dancer on this week's ill. He dances the people into a tumor for the heavier acts that appear and there are some heavy one el." Goodlook are there on the first their work is so clean and their comedy so spicy, and if you want to faint with laughter, just look at Goodloe's makeup and there you are. The Kinky Doo Trio are seen in a new act which is better in some ways than the one seen a few weeks ago, but it is none the worse by comparison because this trio is too classy to do aught but clever things so when their names are mentioned look out for the goods, as they will surely be delivered. Miss Cooper looks stunning and sings her songs well, especially her last number, "If I Was Plerpont Morgan." The Phoenix. In this little house of pleasant moments one can see the best photo plays to be seen on State street. And the little orchestra is all O. K. but just a "wee bit" noisy. A little less quantity and a little more quality will surely be the result. Mrs. Ingram is using a dandy song this week and she sings it, too, "belle me." * * * * Tallaboo will have a short run in Gary, Ind, beginning Nov. 9. Several of the cast have been changed. However, we wish the play every well merited success. The affair given for the benefit of Miss C. Delphina Boger was a musical well worth the hearing, as Miss Boger and those surrounding her are musicians of the first magnitude. The attendance was not up to the merit of the musical and we trust at the next public appearance of this sweet singer Chicago will show that she has the interest of every rising musician, as well as those who are on the pinacle, at heart.

Adelbert, Third Son of the Kalzer, Says We Are the Rudest People in the Whole World. New York.—We are the rudest people in the world. Prince Adelbert, aged 27, third son of the Kaiser, says so and when a prince makes a statement it is never quite pole-nor safe—to contradict him. The fact that recently two young Americans did refuse to acknowledge his royal prerogative to "boss" is the reason for his conclusion that "Americans have absolutely no manners." The young man has been spending the summer at a famous European pleasure resort, also patronized by a large number of society folk from this country. Tennis has been the favorite sport of the young folks from "the States" and the prince, who is a splendid player, made a great many friends among them. One Saturday afternoon he had been watching with great interest the brilliant play of Bernard Dell, the well-known athlete of Princeton University. The game over, he asked Mr. Dell to play a single with him on the morrow. "Sorry," said Mr. Dell, "but I never play games on Sundays." "But I ask you," insisted the prince. "Sorry again," replied Mr. Dell, "but I cannot go against my religious principles—not for oven you." Well, this was a situation with which the prince had never had to cope before in the whole course of his life, for when royalty asked "I ask" it means nothing else but "I command" and here was a person who refused to be commanded. There was nothing he could do so "he done it," but it was a wrathy prince who strode away from the firm-fawed American. Not long after that most astonishing experience Prince Adelbert, intending to give a dinner to some of the German nobility passing through Prince Adelbert. the resort, suddenly made up his mind that his American friends should be his guests as well and, forthwith, he walked to the tennis courts and "asked" all of them. Now it happened that a Philadelphia girl was also to give a party on the day the royal Germans were to be in the place and, as the prince knew, the Americans were to be her guests. So when the invitation to attend his dinner was given the Americans politely declined it, saying that they "would not disappoint Miss Blank for worlds." Then they resumed their game as if nothing had happened. The prince was astounded. Could it be possible that any one should dare to turn down a last-minute invitation issued by one of royal blood? That ordinarily unittied human beings should not be willing, yes, should not jump at the chance to cancel any other engagement for the honor of sitting at his table was most amazing. But what could he do about it? Nothing, obviously. He tried to work off a little of his indignation by giving out the statement that we were rude and unmannerly, but the Americans, who had treated him quite as if he were a somewhat too haughty young society man, didn't seem to mind greatly. European society, however, is much excited over the affair, one section with the prince, maintaining that the invitation of a member of a reigning house should be regarded as a royal command by everybody, without distinction of nationality; while on the other hand, all the Americans and a great many Europeans are taking the part of Mr. Dell and the girl, arguing that they were not impolite and only acted quite as sensible young Americans should. Prince Adelbert, who, like the rest of the Kaiser's sons, is rather prepossessing in appearance and manner, was married three years ago to his cousin, Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Sonderburg. CONVICT'S SILENCE COSTLY Spent Thirteen Years in Prison for Crime Friend Did-Story Wins Parole. Sing Sing, N. Y.-Edward Wise, convict, in whose behalf thousands of dollars have been spent to prove him guiltless, was re-caused from Sing Sing recently. As he departed he said to Warden Kennedy: "I have been here 13 years for a blow which another man struck. At my trial I refused to testify to save my own life that I might shield another man." Wise was indicted for murder in the first degree by the grand jury of New York county, and was convicted and sentenced to death on March 31, 1839. Theodore Roosevelt, who was then governor, changed the sentence to life imprisonment. Last week Wise appeared before the board of pardons, which ordered his release. Wise says he kept quiet until he was convicted, and then he told his story. But was too late. The other man had been jailed. Wise mother is still MR.

A GOOD LESSON. Let All Who Wish to Keep Abreast with the Society News Watch this Column. By J. H. Arnold, G. N. D. By Special Correspondent of Chicago Defender. Death of Miss Lulu Hartford. Lexington, Mo., Nov. 3—Miss Lulu Hartford, who died in Kansas City, Mo., was brought to Lexington Tuesday evening. Funeral services were held from the Second Baptist church Wednesday afternoon at 2:30. She was the daughter of Mrs. Kizirah Delaney of this city. Interment in Northern cemetery. Death of Mr. S. Slaughter. The death of Mr. Stephen Slaughter, who was found dead a few miles in the country Friday, Oct. 27, was one of the saddest events that ever happened in our city. It is said that Mr. Slaughter has suffered from a paralytic stroke. He had gone to the country to open up a coal mine and another stroke caused his death. The funeral services were held from the Second Baptist church Sunday afternoon, Oct. 29, at 2:30 by Rev. C. G. Chinn and the K. of P. lodge. Interment in Northern Cemetery. Is It True? It has been reported that the members of the dancing club will give a dance at the Masonic hall Nov. 30. If this report is true I hope the better class of people in our city will get together and help knock the very bottom out of this dancing business as we do not need any dancing halls in our city. We have enough to lead our young men and women down to destruction. Northern Cemetery. It is a shame and a disgrace for any one to see the condition of our burying ground. During the summer this place has never been touched. It still remains in the same horrible condition. Yet we have no excuse for not cleaning up this place. The ministers of our three colored churches should get behind the members of the trustee boards and see to it that Northern cemetery is cleaned and cleared up. Walker and Reed. Miss Tenna Reed and Mr. Ulysses ("Bud") Walker were united in the holy bonds of wedlock Monday night, Oct. 30. The couple are well known to every one in Lexington. The couple will make their home in Lexington. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Wm. Thirkle. Mayberry and Lane. We are surprised to hear of the marriage of Miss Elle Mayberry and Mr. Major Lane Monday night, Oct. 30, at the residence of Rev. Wm. Thirkles. Peculiarities of Authors Addison, whose classic elegance has long been considered a model of style, was shy and absent in society, preserving, even before a single stranger, stiff and dignified silence. Rousseau was remarkably trite in conversation—not a word of fancy or eloquence warmed him. Belgium'a Proud Position Belgium is one of the smallest countries in regard to area, containing only 11,373 square miles, but it stands today the fifth of all nations of the world in regard to commerce, and industry, and is the most densely settled in Europe, containing 7,317,561 inhabitants. It is also one of the richest countries per capita and second to none in enterprise. She Helped Him. A shy young man once said to a young lady: "I wish, dear, that we were on such terms of intimacy that you would not mind calling me by my first name." "Oh," she replied, "your second name is good enough for me." Preserving a Calmness The much annoyed customer departed and the saleswoman approached another customer and began to tell how disagreeable the first had been, and then, assuming an air of superiority, remarked: "But I kept perfectly calm, remembering that self-possession was nine points of the law." FREE TAKE TO BANISTERS IN A BARGAIN CRUSH Crowd of Women at a Clearance Sale Slide to the Lower Floor. Kansas City, Mo.—At a recent clearance sale at a dry goods house here a crowd of women making for a lower floor, where some handbags were on sale at cut prices, took to the banisters and slid down. The women entered the store on Baltimore avenue. The entrance floor on this street is a above that on Main street, where the Women Take to Banisters. bargain was on sale. They found the stairway was full and women were struggling and swaying in a congested mass, unable either to advance or retreat. "Come on," a leader cried, "there's no getting through here. As she spoke she gathered up her skirts, gave a quick spring and landed astride the banister. There was a flash of stockings and lace, and the next instant she was on the floor below, fighting her way toward the counter. One after another the bolder ones followed until the banister was full of sliding women. One after another they landed at the bottom in shrieking heaps and would plunge into the struggling mass in front of the counter. At the handbag counter the usual bargain tactics were resorted to. A woman would seize four or five bags and hold them all until she had made a choice. Many women were accompanied by their husbands, and it was their part to "hold out" desirable looking articles until the wife decided which was the most desirable, the rest would be dumped back on the counter. CHOKES MAD DOG TO DEATH Man In Fight to Save Children Kills Animal With His Bare Hands. Atlantic City, N. J.—Daniel Bond, twenty-four, choked a mad dog to death with his bare hands here. He was severely bitten about the arms and wrists and was taken to the City hospital, where the physicians quickly terized his wounds and then put him in the observation ward to make a fight for his life should hydrophobia develop.

He started in pursuit. The dog snapped at him and leaped for his throat. Bond caught the beast by the neck as it leaped. In a furious battle of several minutes the man was the victor, but not until he had been severely bitten. Lightning Spoils Girl's Joke Atchison, Kan.—"I am going to stand here and let the lightning strike me," Flossie Hartman said jokingly while she stood on the back porch of her home near Parnell. A second inter lightning struck the lawn 20 feet from where she was standing, rendering her unconscious some time and leaving her in a dazed condition the rest of the afternoon. Here's a Real Fish Story Illinois, Ind.-John Jensen is nursing a broken ankle, received in a strange railroad accident.

Mr. Joseph Harris, 354 Sheldon street, is in the service of the C., B. & Q. R. R. between Chicago and Kansas City, Mo., as a train porter. Mr. Harris and Prof. Dupee were out to the Bachelors' club Oct. 30 to pay a visit. Messrs. W. A. Bell, C. R. Montague, H. H. Harris and J. E. Freeman were in Chicago Monday, Oct. 30, from Jersey City and New York in the service of the Erie. R. E. Coleman is still confined to his bed in New York, 203 West 98th street. Mrs. Gus Wilson of Berkeley avenue won the first waltz prize at the Bachelors' club parlor on the evening of Oct. 25 with Mr. Lawn Freeman. The second prize was won by Walter Green, the trap drummer, and a strange lady. The third was won by Miss McDow, 2958 State street, and a strange gentleman. Mr. R. E. Coleman, 203 98th street, New York City, who is in the service of the Erie between New York and Chicago in the dining car service, is confined to his bed, which is the latest report from Mr. Boston Vanwinkle. Mr. J. Bates, 418 West 36th street, New York City, N. Y., was in Chicago Oct. 26 over the Erie as second chef and was out to the Bachelors' club. Mr. L. J.

Scott, 5020 Armour avenue, is still in the service of the Rock Island to Bureau, Ill., as train porter. In presenting the name of J. A. McDonald to the readers of the Chicago Defender it is with pleasure because the writer knows his worth. He is a young man of push but his is the duty of fair play to all. Nor do I say this because he is a railroad dining car waiter but it is the comment of every man that knows him. He has ability and with his desire to be and do good I need not say that he should have higher honors because it is the comment of every one. The railroad men witnessed the grand prize two step last Wednesday night at 11:30 at the Bachelors' club parlor. Mrs. Gus Wilson and Chas. Perkins won the first prize; Mrs. Wilson resides at 4135 Berkeley avenue. Edwin Philips, 12 West 32d street, and Miss Maude Anderson, second prize. Frank Cole, 4727 Armour avenue, and Miss Will White, 3611 State street, third prize. But Walter Green should have had second prize. The fault was in his lady, so the judges stated. THE JOLLY BEAN EATERS. The Defender's cartoons entitled "The Jolly Jelly Eaters," in the last few issues has immensely pleased hundreds of our readers. Fon Holly, the cartoonist, perhaps has not the reputation of Ralph Wilder or McCutcheon, but the encouragement given that artist is pleasing to the management. Beling the only weekly newspaper that publishes a feature of this kind it is with pardonable pride that we again call attention to "The Jolly Bean Eaters." Among our subscribers are waiters and other employees of the Hotel Del Prado who delight in telling you of the boyhood days of "Bud" Fisher when with his parents they were guests at the famous midway hotel. When we speak of "Bud" Fisher it is of the famous author of "Mutt and Jeff." Although now a $10,000 man with a life time position "Bud" Fisher not long ago used to delight the dining room crew and bell boys at this hotel by caricatures of many of their number to and from the kitchen or on a hike from the "Fourth Floor" with a pitcher of ice water. We can not employ the wonderful Mr. Fisher but the best efforts of our own Fon Holly will be published in season. Like the period of Mr. Fisher's life mentioned above, Mr. Holly's work has just begun. Watch us grow, "The Bean Eaters" fell into the hands of the Black Hand Saturday, Oct. 11.

Reading, Vt.-Near the main road leading from Weatherfield to Reading, a passerby may observe two mon- uments adorned with Indian hieroglyphics. The larger of the two contains the following inscription: "This is near the spot where the Indians encamped the night after they took Mr. Johnson and family, Mr. Labarree and Farn- worth, August 30: 1764." The two Historic Vermont Monument. monuments were erected in 1799 by Mrs. Johnson and her fellow prisoner, Mr. Labarre, to commemorate the dreadful march with the Indians from Charlestown, N. H., over to the Otter creek, then to Lake Champlain and Canada. The details of that march are dramatic. Midway between daybreak and sunrise August 30, 1754, Lieutenant Johnson, wife and four small children, with other prisoners, were captured and forced on the march. Captain Straw pursued the Indians across the Connecticut and fought with them near the General Lewis Morris place in Springfield, but did not release the captives. They were twenty days in reaching St. Francis, Canada, where they remained as captives three years. THE BIRTHPLACE OF JOHNSON This Historic and Crude Old Building is Still Standing in Raleigh, N. C. Raleigh, N. C.—This old and simple building, erected sometime during the latter part of the eighteenth century, still stands in Raleigh, a historic building, attracting the interest of strangers, and held sacred in the hearts of Americans. Within its rough and crude walls, in 1808, the eyes of Andrew Johnson first saw the light of day. Looking today upon the simplicity of this structure, we are reminded of blhm whom it once sheltered. Plain, even homely, yet so staunch as to withstand the shocks of storm in summer and winter through all these years, even as he withstood the bibles and smeers of his enemies during the strenuous period in which he held the helm of the ship of state. Hampered with the litteracy, common with those of humber origin at that time, even unable to sign his name until after梨 manhood: vet.

GIRL ORDERS BABY SISTER Little Tot Calls at Doctor's Office and Says It is to Be Sent Immediately—Tells Mother. Winsted, Conn.-Amy Bull, three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry C. Bull of Center street, called at the office of Dr. D. D. Reedy on Elm street and inquired if the doctor was home. She was informed that he was not and asked if there was any word she wanted to leave for the doctor. "I want to leave an order," the child replied. "Tell the doctor to bring me a baby sister at once. They have got one in the next house, and I want one. You won't forget to tell the doctor, will you." Assured that the doctor would get her order, little Miss Bull continued on her way to High street to visit friends. Upon her return home Amy informed her mother that she had stopped at the doctor's office and added: "I left an order for a baby sister." The Test of a Man Giving evidence at an inquest at Yarmouth, a market stall carrier declared he could take ten pints of beer before breakfast and get home all right.

HOTEL NEWS All Up-to-date Hotel News and News of Bell Hops. By S. Adama. David Hall, a popular young hotel man of Chicago, who was second waiter at the Palmer House for several months, has accepted a position at the Seelbach Hotel in Louisville, Ky. Mr. Hall is an A-1 cafe man and we wish for him every success, as he can deliver the goods. Wm. Nickson, the former head waiter at the Palmer House when said house was in its palmy days, is now and has been for the last four years the second waiter at the Chicago Beach Hotel, where many improvements have been made which adds to the beauty of this always swell hotel. The management are highly pleased with Mr. Nickson's work and it is but a question of a short time before this good man will be head waiter and give the same excellent service he gave years ago at the Palmer House. The New Southern Hotel has changed hands. It is the wish of the old management that the new owners will retain the old crew of waiters as they have been very zealous in their work and have made the hotel what it is today. And if the new owners are wise they will comply with the wishes of the old company, as good men are hard to find. Mr. Casey, the head waiter, was at one time the head man at the Del Prado and is one of the best men in the business. Wm. Fisher, the head waiter at the Briggs House, has recently returned from a vacation up the lakes where he amused himself catching lake trout. As yet he has not made mention of having caught any mermals. Suppose they were all in their steam-heated flats at the bottom of—well, any old lake—who cares? We learn that the gentleman can catch most anything, as he is a Fisher by name and that just makes it right, boys. Several notes of importance will be in next week's issue.

Breaking a Wisdom Mane "I'm afraid the country suffered a great loss when they failed to send our eloquent and able friend back to congress." "Not at all," replied Senator Sorghum. "The sense of the plain people again prevailed. Why should the lecture platforms be robbed that the brainy men may be assembled to listen to one another, where instruction is superfluous?" Keep Hope Alive. Never abandon hope. Remember that no earnest effort is ever lost. Get away from the habit of looking on the dark side. Nothing will so completely paralyze the creative power of the mind as a dark, gloomy, discouraged mental attitude. It keeps multitudes of people from obtaining the very things they most desire. An Incurable Lieutenant Commander Symington at a luncheon once toasted a noted admiral. "He is a good man," he said; "too good a man, I sometimes think, for this rough, wicked world of ours. He is an idealist and an optimist. Indeed, he is such an incurable idealist and optimist that if you should send him on a wild goose chase he'd speak of himself forever afterward as a big game hunter." Flnds Profit In Toys A woman, who, after five years of married life found herself with an invalid husband and no source of income, made toys, such as she had seer in Germany, and a good market was found for them in the department stores. She showed the toys first to children and profited by their comments upon them. She says dolls are especially profitable. Gentle Hint.

One of the caravan tours of Assyria and India lay near the little city of Nazareth, where in his boyhood our Savior undoubtedly saw and conversed with men of many nations and varied religious and philosophical beliefs. Indeed, some years a French traveler in Thibet reported, that, having broken a leg, he was hospitably nursed and cared for in a lamasery or Thibetan convent, and allowed access to its library, in which he found an ancient volume, which stated that before our Savior began his mission, he joined a caravan, and visited Persia and India, debating with the Magi and the priests of Buddha the tenets of their beliefs, and seeking to turn them to the worship of Jehovah.

Fifty Thousand DURING the past year and a half as a result of my fight for lower prices and against extravagance in funeral services, I have saved the colored people of Chicago thousands of dollars. Before my advent into this war, widows and bereaved relatives were burdened with enormous exorbitant funeral bills. To remedy this condition I have waged a lone fight with great success. I have been encouraged by the support and co-operation of many of our best people, besides earning the thanks and good-will of grief-stricken relatives, to whom I have given service at a reasonable price. I have been censured and criticized by some misinformed persons for my attitude and position, but I have done "The greatest good for the greatest number," with regard to the "Other Fellow." Excellence in Service I have strived to make my service perfect in every detail. Up to date livery with courteous drivers, capable and experienced assistants and personal attention to every part of the funeral service.

Every human being is more or less of an irritation. One must get away to his room or to the woods. As near as possible one must secure solitude and silence; for it is in the heart of what shallow people call loneliness that there is found the fountain of refreshment and a new birth of joy in life.

LITTLE GIRL STYLES CHARMING NEW DESIGNS FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS. Not Difficult to Find Becoming Garments for Young Folks This Season—Hats Were Never More Charming. It is not going to be a difficult matter this season to find pretty and becoming garments for the little folks. In fact, so charming are the new designs that mother's only difficulty will be in making up her mind which is the most fetching. The newest of these little garments are cut on lines very much resembling the models planned for older people, and while the children may appear very quiet in their little tunics and surplice bodices, we must take care they do not seem too grown up. The shawl collar is a fashion which mother may adopt for the little girl with impunity, for this is a becoming and glirlish style. The same may be said of the hood effect and the sailor collar. Any of these, when used on the sensible coat of double-faced material, is suitable and becoming. In fact, the heavy material is used extensively for winter wraps for the little folks, velvets and broadcloths betug selected only where the child may have more than one warm outdoor garment. The sensible fashion of wearing wash frocks all the year round is rapidly increasing, especially for young children, and the shops are getting out new designs in both white and colored cottonts, while dainty lawns and sheer fabrics are used for the smaller tots. Reps, fitens and plques are most desirable for older girls, with tailored ginghams and percals for the schoolroom. If mother desires something warmer there is the regulation dress of cashmore, chalis or serge. These made in Russian style or with a surplice are charming. For parties and very dress-up occasions some chiffons and nets are used, though nothing can be in better taste than fine white lawn trimmed simply with a bit of hand embroidery, though the machine decoration has become so perfected that if mother has not the time nor the money to supply the sort done by hand, this may be chosen with the knowledge that it is equally good. Hats for the little folks were never more charming. Beaver, soft felt and plush are all used, while velvet and satin are made up over quaint shapes into stunning little creations. The trimmings are smart ribbon bows, or in some cases wings or fancy bands, but always the tailored appearance predominates. This is especially the case when the hat is made of the same material as the coat, a fad which bids fair to grow, and a very becoming and attractive style it has proven.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Now Aim to Make the Panama Canal Pay Given Flapjacks Instead of Chicken Rangers Exterminate Predatory Beasts Wants Pension Office Beauty Restored Wants Pension Office Beauty Restored I CAN ALSO SELL YOU ALL KINDS OF SUPPLIES - OIL, COAL, ETC. WASHINGTON—Foreshadowing the practical completion of the Panama canal by July 1, 1913, the isthmian canal commission, in its annual report, recommends congressional legislation governing canal tolls, organization for the operation of the canal and for government of the canal zone, utilization of canal revenue to pay operating expenses and to repay the capital invested, and other action. Expedition was urgently demanded in order to advise the commercial world of the use it may make of the great waterway, of the cost of sending ships through it and just when it will be opened. The commission wished to give at least eighteen months' notice of the rates to permit the world's maritime interests time to readjust their routes and to build new ships and organize new transportation companies. It was also deemed desirable to put the canal to use as early as possible, not only to secure financial returns on the enormous capital invested, but to No more chicken in the army, turkey twice a year—Thanksgiving and Christmas—and "flap jacks" instead of "hard tack," sum up the important changes in the army ration for the American soldier made during the past year, according to the report of Commissary General Henry G. Sharpe. The elimination of chicken has resulted in a yearly saving to the government of $25,000. The poor soldiers now have to worry along on beef, pork, mutton, bacon, eggs and fish. It cost the United States 16.14 cents a day more to feed the American soldier in Alaska than it did those stationed in the United States. This is declared due principally to the cost of beef and its transportation to the isolated posts in the territory. The daily average cost of the raions issued during the year in the United States alone was 22.75 cents; Alaska, 38.89 cents; Hawaii, 24.10 cents; Porto Rico, 28.72 cents; aboard transports, 23.52 cents; American soldiers in the Philippines, 24.56 cents, and the native soldiers in the Philippines, 14.57. Even the Philippines islands shows a greater average cost per diem per man. The report shows the average cost per year per man in the United States to be $105.96, and in the Philippines, $114.21. It is interesting to note, the report ONE of the duties of Uncle Sam's forest rangers is to kill "varmints" that destroy cattle, sheep and other domestic animals. In the western states, where bears, mountain lions, wolves, coyotes, wildcats and lynxes are plentiful, the annual damage from wild beasts runs into millions. Last year forest rangers killed 7,971 destructive animals. The reports, just out, show that 213 bears, 88 mountain lions, 172 wolves, 69 wolf pups, 6,487 coyotes, 870 wildcats and 72 lynxes fell before the rangers' guns. In addition to their efforts after animals that are harmful to live stock and to game animals and birds, forest officers have made headway against the prairie dog, which eats one thirty-second as much as a sheep. The biological survey estimates that one grown wolf will destroy about $1,000 worth of stock a year, and that the average family of wolves PENSION COMMISSIONER JAMES L. DAVENPORT has an eye to the artistic, and as much as it is possible for that genial gentleman to be disgruntled, is mighty grieved over the fact that the pension office does not look as pretty as it ought to, and nothing like as pretty as it might. Commissioner Davenport says that the pension office ought to be one of the show places in Washington, and there was a time when this was true. Now it is half-filled up with the desks, file and literature of the Indian office, which really isn't any business. In fact, the great court of the pension office, which until the new government print office was constructed was th make possible the passage of the world's fleets without confusion or delay. The report showed that the engineers' board has already found that all the concrete in the great Gatun locks will be laid by June 1, 1912, and five months later the locks on the Pacific side will be finished, except the gates, which will be ready June 1, 1913. Menitime by April 1, next, the giant spillway at Gatun would be at the fifty-foot elevation and the entire dam there would be completed by the following winter. The excavation through the Culebra cut, the greatest earth-digging enterprise the world has ever seen, will be complete July 1, 1913, if the slides are not in excess of the estimates. In that case the exterior channel will be sufficiently advanced to pass the shipping that would use the canal. The total outlay for maintaining the canal will be for wages of the operative force, engineering work, sanitation and civil administration. The commission was insistent that the revenue of the canal should go to pay not only the operating expenses, but to repay the capital invested. Every legitimate means for raising revenue should be adopted, said the report, which recommended that the government should not only supply coal and oil for its own vessels, but should sell them to merchant shipping. says, that out of a total of $11,864,894 spent during the year for subsistence, only four-fifths of 1 per cent., or $56,906, is accredited to losses from such causes as ordinary wastage in issue and transportation, deterioration from climatic causes, theft and property worn out. The experimental farm conducted by the subsistence department at Camp Vicars, P. L., for the purpose of determining whether potatoes could be successfully raised in the Philippines has proved the uneasability of such a project. Although the conditions were exceedingly favorable when the plants first came up, the report admits, blight invaded the farm, and while the yield averaged twenty-two bushels to an acre, only fourteen of these were found fit for consumption. While the results are declared to have been a great disappointment, the commissary general feels that the ex-figure of time and funds was well rendered. will get at least $3,000 worth. The stock killed by wolves is principally cattle. Calves and yearlings are generally selected by them for slaughter, but if these cannot be readily had, cows and even full-grown steers are killed. It is said by stockmen that wolves in Wyoming kill from 10 to 20 percent, of the annual increase of the herds. In some sections of Montana they are just as bad. "The problem of the extermination of predatory animals," said John A. Rhodes, a guard of the forest service, "is one that calls for determined and persistent labor along lines that are practical, at the hands of men who are accustomed to the country, thoroughly understand the habits of the wild animals and are familiar with the means of their extermination. "Where hunters are employed, the use of poison as a means of extermination stands first. Its advantage lies in the ease and rapidity with which it can be handled. Where the labor of a half a dozen men would be required in setting and watching a line of traps, one man could easily cover the same country with poison. The greater the number of bats the greater the chances for killing." THAT IS WHAT I CALL THE LIMIT! with the rows of handsomely ornamented balconies on the court. In the center of the court is a beautiful fountain, and it used to be that exquisite little models, of the Monitor and the Merrimac, chased each other around and around in this fountain. There are a number of wonderful columns of bristle covered over and painted to resemble a river. :: QUAINT STAND FOR FERNS Can Be Made In Any Size, but Is Most Successful When It Is Made Small. The novel and quantit little fern stands, of which we give a sketch, can be made in almost any size, but they are perhaps most successful when made quite small. They merely consist of a rough circular piece of wood with the bark left on, hollowed out at one end, and then covered outside entirely ```markdown ``` with gold paint. The space cut away in the wood should be large enough to receive the whole pot of the fern, the upper part of which can be covered with moss or the mold and fern can be turned out of the pot, and planted in the hollowed-out wood, as little ferns really thrive better if planted in undrained pots. Suitable pieces of wood from which to make these stands will most probably be found ready to hand at home in the shape of logs for the fire. Little flower stands can be made in exactly the same manner, and a small glass tube for water fitted into the wood. They should, of course, be of rather a different shape, and the sketch on the right-hand side illustrates this. ABOUT THE SEASON'S SLEEVE Styles Are Many and Varied, But All Are Something on Peasant. ant Order. Whether the kimona sleeve will hold its own this winter, time alone will tell. Paris herself has not decided and while many and varied styles of sleeves are shown in the new designs, they are all something on the peasant order. One important house shows sleeves cut on kimona lines, but separate from the bodice. The advantage of this is evident in the increased comfort of the blouse. Another modiste of equal importance cuts the upper part of the sleeve with the bodice, making the lower part separate and of different material, while it remains for a third to give us the gauntlet sleeve. This is cut with fullness at the elbow, from which point the sleeve is made to fit the forearm and extended at the wrist with deep pointed frills of chiffon, which fall over the hand. The lower half of a sleeve of this kind is of material like the yoke or gulpe. In coats and evening wraps the popularity of the khlona appearance is given, though the sleeve may be cut separately, while even the regulation mannish sleeve is made slightly fuller. On evening wraps and auto coats the kimono or peasant sleeve is used in its original form, as a rule, though extreme models have the shoulder line elongated and the loose sleeve set in, while the cuffs are deep and of material matching the wide revers with which these coats are generally trimmed. A Helpful Hint. Bamboo canes make excellent stair rods—just ordinary canes costing one penny each. Cut these the required length and enamel them to match the carpet. Not only do they make cheap rods, but they do not require constant polishing, as the brass ones do, and the housewife knows how much time this will save in the keeping of her hall and stair. The bamboo rods are as durable as they are cheap, but they look much better enameled than left the natural color, which soils quickly and is difficult to clean. English blazers fairly scream at one from the shop windows. The spectrum seems to have been searched for brilliant shades to contribute to their brilliancy. White with robin's egg blue stripes an inch in width, blue with hunter's green and any other color, or combination of colors guaranteed to momentarily blind the eyes are being sought. Hairdressing Styles The ringlet styles of the sixties, the fashions of the grandmothers of this day and age, are now the leading effect in hairdressing, says the Drygoods Economist. In place of the pompadour the French hairdresser today sells the false front parted at the left side, either waved or with ringlets; for the back switch for colling, a curly knot or one of the new fashioned caltous, with self strands of wavy hair to be arranged in swirls, is used. All hairdressing tends to make the head appear small, and ornaments usually take the form of ornamental bands. Many of these are worn very low on the forehead, draggin the hair to the temples and shinny the curls down about. E. JACKSON.
