TEXAS HAS BLOODY SPREE 2,000 PERSONS ATTEND CONFESSION FALSE A Fearless, HONEST CHAMPION of the People VOLUME VII. NUMB TEXAS HA 2,000 P CON A Mob of Cowards Have a Week-End Jollification (Characteristic of That Section) by Taking from Jail and Burning at the Stake a Man Whose Alleged Crime Had Not Been Proved—Say That He Confessed—Confession Said to Be False—No Chance for Justice Anyway—Made to Talk by Burning Torch—Another Blot Against the State by Atrocious Crime. MURDER TAKES PLACE IN PUBLIC SQUARE. Once More the Civilized World is astounded by the Lawless and Diabolical Murder of an American Citizen in Texas, the So-called Enlightened State of the South—Add Insult to Injury by Publishing the Incoherent Words of a Man Tortured by Burning Torches—Writer Says, "How Long, O Lord, How Long?"—Girl Could Not Identify Alleged Assailant. Civilized America has again been astounded by an atrocious murder in Texas of an untried American citizen for the alleged crime popularly termed assault. Tyler, Texas, is the town that is in the limelight for its bloody thirst. Saturday last Mr. Dan Davis was burned to death at a stake in the streets of that place. It was the public square and two thousand persons are reported to have participated in this fearful crime. The victim, it is alleged, assaulted and it is claimed that the party was a Miss Carrie Johnson, the daughter of a farmer. Mr. Davis, it is also alleged, signed a statement confessing to the attack. Forced to Talk by Burning Torches. But before the match was touched to the pile of wood on which he had been bound by the mob, he was again asked if he was guilty. A moment later the flames were leaping high about his head. Mr. Davis was brought to Tyler early in the day from Athens, Texas. When members of the sheriff's posse arrived at the jail with him, it is said, that they were confronted by several hundred citizens who waited until Mr. Davis had written his alleged confession, then demanded that he be turned over to them. It is also said that the officers and citizens who had gathered inside the jail protested (?) but finally sur- rendered him to the mob. The mob was so large protest was useless, the officers said. From the fail the prisoner was led to the public square where several wagon loads of wood had been piled. Death Pyre Surrounded. Death Pyre Surrounded. The mob stood around the fire until it dled down and little was left but charred bones and ashes. In the statement that Mr. Davis is said to have written it is alleged that he told how he and another man attacked Miss Johnson as she was walking along a railroad track to Tyler in mid-afternoon Monday, May 13, and that they left her lying there believing that she was dead. While the girl herself did not identify her assailant he was identified by an unnamed man who claims to have seen him in the neighborhood soon before the crime was omitted. He also said his partner had been arrested in Waco. MR. JACKSON GORDON DEAD. Well Known Citizen and Politician Dles Suddenly Wednesday Morning. Mr. Jackson Gordon, well known citizen and active politician for the past 40 years, died suddenly at his residence, 3435 Wabash avenue, early Wednesday morning. Mr. Gordon was 52 years of age and was born in Virginia. He was a member of Grace Presbyterian church for many years and a clerk in the board of assessor's office for the past 16 years. Funeral services will be held this morning from Grace church, Rev. Moses Jackson, the pastor, will officiate. Interment will be in Mt. Glenwood cemetery. MRS. MAGGIE DAGO IN HOSPITAL—HAPPY Mrs. Maggie Dago, 3639 Vernon avenue, wife of our prominent expert in chrippy, has successfully undergone an operation for appendicitis at Provident hospital at that institution Wednesday. The patient was reported doing nicely. The Defender reporter believes that Mrs. Dago's rapid recovery was due to the fact that her husband has just presented to her a new automobile. The Chicago Defender wishes the charming madame a speedy recovery and sincerely hopes that the entire taff will be treated to a ride ere theummer passes. The Chicago Defender. CABLE A DOUBLE WINNER. Theodore Cable Star of the Day in the Harvard and Yale Annual Dual Track and Field Meet. By Julius N. Avendorph. What was expected to be the greatest of all the annual dual track and field meetings between Harvard and Yale on Saturday afternoon, May 18, proved to be, no doubt, the greatest disappointment. It had been predicted by the wise ones that it would be the closest and with the possible exception of the hammer throwing Yale was a strong favorite, and if the truth was known, there was a doubt on the part of Yales followers as to whether Cable could repeat his performance of the previous Saturday, but contrary to all predictions or doubts, he not only repeated his brilliant performance, in hammer throwing, but he won the running broad jump. Here is what the Boston Sunday Herald of May 19 says: "Harvard men surprised their most ardent admirers for the jumping of A. W. Mofat and Theodore Cable in the running high and running broad jumps respectively was not looked for, Mofat cleared 6 feet 2 inches, and in an attempt to heat the dual meet record of 6 feet 2½ inches, held by R. C. Merwin of Yale since 1897, he failed by 6 feet 2 inches. Cable's jumping especially in the final race, after he had been throwing the hammer, was remarkable. He had made 21 feet 8½ inches in the trials, but in the final he leaped 22 feet 8½ inches on his first try, and on his second he was that mark and an inch and a half better. He fouled on his third try. Cable was the star athlete of the day, winning the hammer throw with a heave of 154.77 feet. He was the only double winner. The 120 yards high hurdles race, in which A. L. Jackson was a contestant and from whom great things was expected, was won by Larkin of Yale while Cummings was second and Jackson third. In the low barriers, it was the same quartet, with the exception of Larkin, Platt, being the Yale man, but Cummings won with Jackson second. Jackson had the misfortune to pull a tandem and had to be carried off the field, thereby losing his chances to compete in the intercollegiate championships, which will be a great loss to Harvard." Incidentally I want to make mention of the interscholastic track meet held at New Haven on Saturday, May 18, which brought together all the leading "prep" schools of New England and around New York and Philadelphia. Exeter carried off the honors but as usual our colors was there in the person of H. Drew, of Springfield, Mass., High who won the 100-yard dash in 10s, which is exceptionally fast for youngsters. It is, in my opinion, a fine thing that a few of our young men are still fighting for and making good in the athletic world, as I still contend that it gives them better chances. CONGRESSMAN MADDEN DEFENDS SOLDIERS Defends the Case of the Negro Vet erans Before the House of Repre sentatives—"Strike Down the Color Line." His Plea. By R. G. Bruce. Washington, D. C., May 31.—Hon. Martin B. Madden of Illinois, better known as a defender of rights, defended the cause of the Negro veterans before the house of representatives. "Gentlemen, strike down the color line," was his plea. Congressman S. A. Roddenbery of Georgia tried hard to get an amendment through congress that would do away with the pensioning of Negro veterans until they were set off in a corner to themselves. The amendment: "Provided, That after July 1, 1912, no pension under this act or under any other act, general or special, shall be paid to a pensioner of African descent until such time as all inmates of National Soldiers' Home of African descent are consolidated, removed and domiciled in a National Soldiers' Home at a place separate and apart from any other such home occupied by any other soldiers and veterans of the Civil war or other wars." "Provided further, That after July 1, 1912, all inmates of National Soldiers' Homes of African descent shall be domiciled at a distinctly separate home maintained exclusively for such inmates." In reply to this bill Congressman Madden sald: "It will not do for him (Mr. Roddenbery) to come now in guise of the Civil war veterans' friend in order that he may the better express his hatred for the Negro; no, the white soldier of the Civil war needs no defense at the gentlemans' CHICAGO, DLL., SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1912. hands, and his denunciation of the Negro will fall far short of accomplishing its purpose." Congressman Madden spoke of Congressman Roddenbery's attempts to fictitiously defend the white soldier and his attempts to defray the black soldier. During his address Mr. Roddenbery introduced a letter from an old white soldier, but he omitted the name. Thereupon Congressman Madden called him a coward. Congressman Madden said further, "The men against who this amendment is leveled fought for the preservation of the Union as valiantly as the white man fought and every consideration that is due the white man for services rendered to the Union at the time of its direst need ought to be given to the black man who rendered like service." Strike Down the Color Line. After criticizing Congressman Roddenberry, Congressman Madden said: "No men fought more bravely than the black men. They are entitled to their full share of credit for preserving the nation. I grieve to see the gentleman from Georgia express such bitterness toward the Negro," said our gallant friend, "He should be one of the Negroes' ablest defenders. The Negro has made wonderful progress considering his lack of opportunity. He is a good citizen, a gallant soldier. He should be encouraged, not reviled. Who led the successful charge at El Caney at San Juan Hill?" continued Mr. Madden. "Was it not the Negro? Who questioned his color then? Did any one revile him? Not at all. All praised his valor, all plaused his intrepidity. We should know no color in ministering to the wants of those who gave their all in defense of the country." In conclusion Mr. Madden said: "Gentlemen, strike down the color line. Defeat the amendment offered by the gentleman from Georgia, and let the news spread into every home in this broad land of the free that congress will tolerate no discrimination in the treatment of the country's veteran soldiers on account of the color of their skin." There is no question about Congressman Madden's friendly attitude towards the Negro. He is a friend kind and true. Among the many things that he has done for the Negro he assisted Miss Anna Hill, one of our Chicago girls, through Wilberforce university, and at the present time he is assisting Robert Bruce of Evanston through the same school.

Mr. Henderson Smith, 3232 Calumet avenue, is back in the city and thereby hangs an interesting tale. Mr. Smith and his famous aggregation of footlight stars, the "Ten Dark Knights," have just returned from Washington, D.C., where they had to walk out of Howard's theater. "We were playing at the Howard, which is owned by Edw. Thomas," said Mr. Smith to a Chicago Defender reporter, "but Mr. Thomas did not live up to his agreement and I was compelled to lead the "Knights" out. I have entered suit against him and expect an early adjustment of my claims. The matter evidently did not worry him, for the reporter learned that Mrs. Smith has been the recipient of a handsome automobile since his return. After a few days "The Knights" will be on the road again for they are booked for forty-three solid weeks. IS HE MARRIED? Prof. Garfield Wilson Entertains His Father—Class Asks a Question. There was a good attendance at Prof. Garfield Wilson's dancing school Friday night and the debonair instructor of the light fantastic had as his guest his father, who is on a visit from Denver, Colo. When it was learned that it was Mr. Wilson's first visit to Chicago some one said: "I guess that he came to the wedding." The visitor was surprised to see what a splendid following his son had in this city, but gave the reporter no news. From that time on until the orchestra played "Home, Sweet Home," the question was "Is he married?" Prof. Wilson was as non-committal as ever, but even as we go to press the echo says "Is he married?" U. B. E.-S. M. T. SERMON. Sunday last all the lodges and temples of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, together with their friends, completely filled the institutional church, the occasion being the annual sermon of the order. Rev. Jordon Chavis preached the sermon. The parade to the church was an imposing one and many were inspired by the splendid showing made by this notable order. MAJOR MOTON AT TUSKEGEE.

The will of Garland reads: "Upon the death or re-marriage of my wife the trust residue is to go to the children or their issue."

Mr. White's personally conducted excursion promises to be the most entertaining and elaborate affair of the kind ever leaving Chicago. Speaking of the affair Mr. White told a Chicago Defender reporter that a magnificent vestibulated Pullman train has been arranged for. Every comfort of the guest has been considered. There will be a physician and two trained nurses throughout the entire trip. A stenographer will also be provided. The sleeping and dining car arrangements will be the best and the reasonable price of the entire trip has already resulted in nine-two applications for reservations. These applications are from teachers, business and professional men and women in Boston, Florida, New York, Chicago, Georgia and South Carolina. One Fare Includes Everything. The latest feature arranged for this wonderful trip is the attendance of the entire party at an organ recital in the Mormon temple, Salt Lake City, Utah. Fare for the entire trip is, first class, $228.75; tourist sleeper, $195.85. These prices include passage, berth (one-half section), and meals for the entire trip. This delightful trip can be made the trip of your life, and many of our teachers will avail themselves of an opportunity to see the beauties of their own country through this personally conducted tour. National Educational Congress. Starting July 14 this wonderful excursion is so arranged that a three days' stop can be made at St. Paul to attend the National Negro Educational Congress which convenes July 16. Then up to the Canadian National Park, the great glaciers of the Selkirk mountains. Traveling in the mountains will be done by daylight. A day sail down the Puget Sound (Vancouver-Seattle) on one of the Canadian Pacific coast steamers, surpassed by none. Spending one day each at Seattle and Tacoma, Wash, and Portland, Ore. Over the great Mt. Shasta SOUTHERN STRENGTH AT THE CONVENTION. The Unfairness of the Present System—A Comparison—Cook County—Alabama and Mississippi. In the last issue of the Defender we raised our voice against the outrageous, indefensible injustice of southern representation in the national convention. We again follow it up by a further tabulation of figures which shows the deplorable conditions existing throughout the southern states. It is unthinkable that the southern states which deliberately violate the constitution of the United States and the political rights of their citizens should be allowed an equal participation in the councils of the nation; however it is a fact and the unseemly part of it is that a few parasitic office holders, representing a few hundred or few thousand voters have more power and influence than an equal number of northern representatives who are legally elected to represent hundreds of thousands of their constituents. So it is easily seen how five or six thousand southern voters are able to offset or annul the will of two or three hundred thousand northern voters. According to current report ten southern districts taken from the states of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, have a voting strength of 6,476 Republicans. These districts will be able to pit their powerful strength, by delegation, against ten Cook County districts which contain 230,400 or more Republicans. So, Carolina will send eighteen delegates to Chicago to represent less than 4,000 Republican voters, while a Chicago district under the apportionment can send only two delegates to represent 30,000 voters. Some of the southern districts have fewer Republican voters than two or three precincts in a Chicago ward, but the districts each have two votes in the supreme council of the party. The absurdity of the situation is clearly shown by a comparison of the Second Mississippi congressional district which has 350 votes with Cook County. If Cook County were as well represented as this district it would have 1,310 delegates in the National Convention. If an equitable representation were apportioned to the southern states according to voting strength the disgraceful outrages which have occurred in Mississippi and many other boss-ridden states would soon cease. It would be a very short time before the southern states would see the error of their way, the utter injustice and futility of disfranchising a greater part of their citizens. NOT BILL BAILEY'S BAND But That of Wendell Phillips Settle ment Led by Mr. George Bailey, The Wendell Phillips Settlement brass band composed of boys aged from 12 to 20 was organized by W. B. Smith and Mr. G. H. Cooper of the Settlement. They engaged Mr. George Bailey under salary from September, 111 to May 1st, 1912. The band's first concert was given last night at Roby and Lake streets to a crowded house. It was the biggest surprise the West Side has ever had in the history of Chicago. The band rendered several selections of Mr. Bailey's own compositions very creditably and caught the audience by storm. Miss Venil sang well under Bailey composed of four clarinets, five cornets, four altos, four trombones, one barbone, two tubas, two side drums and one bass drum and cymbals. THE APPOMATTOX CARD PARTY. The Card Party given by the Appomattox Club undoubtedly was the swellest informal affair given in the city this season. Where did the strange young ladies come from? They were there. This seems to be the season of the year when each member tries to outdo the other in bringing the most beautiful ladies there are in the city to their club; cards were in vogue and cards were spades and the young ladies said the Appomattox was a great drawing card. THE DETROIT INFORMER'S NEW HEADS. The Detroit Informer has improved in every way since Mr. Jas. A. Ross and T. W. Taylor have been at its head. Mr. Ross of Gazette and Guide fame is related to the Pauls of Chicago, while Mr. Taylor is highly spoken of by Mrs. Florence Johnson, 3150 Dearborn street. NOTED EDITOR HERE. Mr. J. H. Murphy, editor of The Afro-American Ledger of Baltimore, was the guest of Mr. R. G. B. Ellington at the Y. M. C. A. banquet on Wednesday night. Mr. Murphy was on route to his home from the sessions of the A. M. E. conference at Kansas City. route to San Francisco, Cal., where a stop of sixty hours will be made. Down by the Bio Grande. Down by the Rio Grande. Return by Denver and Rio Grande railway, passing through the canyon of the Grand river, Eagle river canyon, over the Tennessee Pass and through the Royal Gorge. Stops will be made also at Salt Lake City, Denver, Colorado Springs, Kansas City and St. Louis.

ALL THE WORLD LOVES A SOLDIER. The Touching Spectacle of Ten Vacant Chairs—The Regiment Mourned for Eight of Its Number, While John R. Tanner Camp, United and Spanish War Veterans Had Three on Their Roll of Dead—Adjutant Louis B. Anderson Presides the First Time—The Choir and Several Soloists Make Program Interesting. By J. Hockley Smiley. The Eighth Infantry, Illinois National Guard, held their annual memorial services at Quinn Chapel church on Sunday afternoon last. This year's service in memory of their deceased was made notable by the most profound and inspiring sermon in enology of "The Soldier Dead" heard in many years. Rev. W. D. Cook, D. D., pastor of the church, was the speaker. Among other things he said that all the world loves a soldier and that no man could have higher honor paid to him than in an occasion like this. Congratulates the Regiment. He also congratulated the regiment upon its many deportment. Many organizations have services here but it is with pleasure that I command the members and officers of the Eighth Illinois Infantry for their behavior today. There is a spirit of rest here, there is an absence of that going out and coming in that characterizes some of the orders; it is a pleasure to me to have been selected to address you today. The ten vacant chairs entwined in black and bedecked with flowers was a touching sight. Eight belonged to the regiment, two to the John R. Tanner Camp, United Spanish War Veterans, while Captain and Adjunct-Robert F. Ratcliffe belonged to them both. Adjunct, Anderson, Provides. Adjutant Anderson Presides. Capt. Louis B. Anderson, adjutant appointed recently, presided. The invocation was made by Rev. Bradden. Prof. Edward F. Morris presided at the organ and directed the choir in several selections. Comrade C. J. Ross sang "The Palms." The band also rendered several selections. Commander Samuel C. Selby had the veterans and read the roll of their deceased comrades. The parade to and from the church was witnessed by the usual large crowd. It is said that the number in line was a fair proportion of the regiment's strength. Adjutant Anderson's residence, 2821 Wabash avenue, was the reviewing point for the ladies. Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Jefferson, Mrs. Anderson, Miss Essie Arnold and many other of the officers' wives and friends completely filled the steps and windows. MEMORIAL DAY. The Eighth Regiment had its same place in the procession. The boys never looked better, and never did they receive a more enthusiastic reception. From start to finish they were applauded for their neat appearance. The officers, mounted, were exceptionally noticeable, for their horses without exception, were the best ever seen in a similar turn-out. In the Silent Cities of the Dead. The various cemeteries presented the usual scenes all day. Many had decorated the graves days before and only came to look on. At "beautiful Mount Greenwood" a program of speaking took place in the afternoon. At Lincoln Oak Hill there was also an all-day celebration. At Oakwoods cemetery the largest crowd gathered. Chicago's oldest citizens have graves and lots there in great numbers, and they were/out in force. REMEMBERS HIS MOTHER'S GRAVE. Mr. Henry (Teenan) Jones, one of the proprietors of the Elite, left the city on Thursday morning to strew flowers on his mother's grave at Onarga, Itt., where she was buried several years ago. When seen by a reporter for the Defender, Mr. Jones said: "I have done this for years and as long as life lasts I shall always do. Mother was dear to me and her love is still with me." JACK JOHNSON REMEMBERS HIS FATHER'S GRAVE. Jack Johnson sent $100 to Texas to have flowers strenched on the grave of his father who dled while he was in Australia about six years ago. The champion says, "Oh, if Dad had lived." The great of orator Richard B. Harrison is home again and all Chicago is glad. --- SPARKS FROM THE RAIL Winston's Spicy Gossip of Men and Events in the Railroad World. By John 'R. Winston. From Washington comes this dispatch: "Representative Lencroot of Wisconsin, progressive Republican, who never could understand why the porter makes up the upper berth of a sleeping car, irrespective of whether it is to have an occupant, at the same time he makes up the lower berth, will press a bill to stop this practice. He would impose a fine of $1,000 on the railroad for every such offense." A "spick and span" regime will go into effect within a short time on the Illinois Central system, according to plans that are being worked out by Captain Charles Bent, the company's new "inspector of courtesy." The new rules will require that conductors wear a blue uniform with a cutaway coat. Brakemen and flagmen will be instructed to wear gray uniforms and ticket sellers and haggagemen will be asked to wear black silk caps. Truckmen will receive orders to wear khaki uniforms and porters will be attired entirely in blue, with silver plated buttons attached to their uniforms. ! The Inright bunch met at Oelwein, Ia, May 27, for ten minutes. Messrs. Robert Kaufman Jones, McNeir, Bert Gordon, Lewis Taylor, Ernest W. Stiff, Sylvester Craven, Samuel La Force, J. R. Winston, who are all in the service of the Chicago Great Western, northeast, west and southwest divisions. The meeting was for the purpose of giving an up-to-date railroad men's ball, but the date has not yet been set. President McNeir is on the southwest division, between Des Moines, Ia, and Minneapolis. Mr. Charley Lewis, 3158 Wabash avenue, is in the service of the Pere Marquette R. R. in the dining car department as a waiter; in other words, a roast beef "student." Mrs. E. J. Woods and Mrs. May Eva Woods, 219 West 415 street, Oelwein, Ia, headquarters for railroad men when laying off in that city, spent Sunday, May 26, in Waterloo, Ia. Prof. Hurd of the high school in Oelwein, Ia., uses the rod on bad boys and girls in his school. He would not last long in Chicago, would be Steva? Mr. William Tingmon, 3835 Armour avenue, is the colored gentleman who is shipping and getting colored men work on the road as track laborers for the Chicago Great Western. He has placed them at Dundee, I., Egan, III, Stockton, III., and at Byron, III. Mr. Tingmon's phone is Automatic 76:324. This information is for the benefit of those who desire this sort of labor and have a family to support. If you want it then see Mr. Tingmon at the above address. When it is true news you get it in the Chicago Defender. Mr. Leonard Wiggley is now in the service of the Chicago Great Western as a swing man between Des Molles, Z.

Sunday afternoon at Douglass Center, Mr. William Fox of Oak Park gave an interesting talk on "The Labor Unions and the Negro." Mr. Fox is a member of the Merchants' Union, but he finds cause to criticize the methods of all unions. The tendency in many to limit the membership by raising the dues is undemocratic and will react against the organization. Mr. Fox is an ardent socialist and he appealed to his listeners to study the principles of socialism, whose ranks are composed chiefly of working people, who exclude no one on account of race inherents and, like the Single Tax organization extends as friendly a welcome to the colored man as to the white. Is not this suggestion worth considering? Mrs. George Cone, teacher of the Children's Music Class at Douglass Center, spent a pleasant day at the park Saturday at a picnic.

Winston has just become public. Mr. Winston, a popular business man, formerly of 33 State street, but now of 2727 Armour avenue, is the groom, while Miss Fluellen, the bride, has been married to a family residence, 3231 Dearborn street. Mr. Faulkner, the groom's life long friend, when appealed to for information, disclaimed any knowledge of the matter, but the Defender reporter learned the above facts elsewhere. REV.

HEROIC MEASURES FOR GRIP *Night on Porch, Plunge In Cold Lake and a Walk Weighted the There was no doubt I had a bad case of it. My nose was swollen and stopped; my head was full of flannel, and felt as big as a barrel; my ears were regular fire gongs; my eyes were little leaky lakes set in fiery, swollen rings. My body ached all over, and I experienced a constant nausea. And yet I was scheduled to spend the week's end at the home of a famous poet and his wife on Lake Hopatcong, N. J. It was crisp April weather—very crisp. And I knew there would be no heat in the house save that thrown by the burning logs in the big open study fireplace; for this was supposed to be only their summer home. I reasoned that if I remained at home alone the fight against my enemy would be intolerable, since he was already inside the barracks. So I decided to inflict myself upon my friends. I went. After a lovely evening over Socrates, Shelly and the fourth dimension, I was even beyond blowing my nose. To my hostess' solicitous inquiries I replied: "No, nothing; only will you kindly let me sleep on the porch?" She looked at me meditatively for a moment—probably thinking out a suitable obituary—then produced from the depths of a window seat an assortment of comforters. After the family had retired, I undersed quickly and was soon warmly nestled under the covers on my cot in the open-air bedroom. I slept warm—almost too warm. When the April morning sun looked boldly into my face, I arose, donned a bathing suit, threw the poet's great coat about me, and raced down the hill to the lake. I shut my eyes tight and plunged in. Yes—it was cold. But after I had come out, and had plunged back again, I began to get warm. When this happened, I raced back to the house, stirred up the backlog and rubbed myself into a glow before the sputtering fire. I dressed hustily, and before the family was astir I started on a walk as fast as I could go through the woods. The exhilaration crept through my entire body, and by the time I had returned to the poet's home I no longer whigled through my nose nor contemplated suicide, but felt altogether like a normal human being, and attacked my breakfast vigorously. The "grlp" was broken—Los Angeles Times. Force of Habit Strong At the informal gambol which was given by the Chicago members of the Lambis' club recently, John Drew told of an actor who had the misfortune to fall off a ferry at night. Of course there was great confusion on board. The searchlight was turned round and round in an effort to find the man. He came up for the third time just as the light struck him, and from force of habit the actor raised himself and delivered a most ceremonious how. Then the rescuers grabbed him. The Powdering Closet When capricious fashion ruled that ladies should wear only white hair—the color supplied by nature being of no importance—the operation of putting on the powder made special arrangements necessary. These took the form of a special room or cabinet, and in every house of any pretention a small chamber was set aside for the exclusive use of powdering the hair. A curtain divided in the middle, a powdering stand to hold the bowl of powder, and possibly a stool, were all that the closet contained, and through this curtain the lady whose head was to be powdered protruded her head, and the standing powder and the "drawing" powder at her head by means of a powder puff. To preserve the eyes and complexion a mask was held to the face. Unfortunately, no illustration of a "powdering closet" seems to have been preserved. Alleged Enigram. "Will you please put in your paper an epigram I have just thought up?" asked a friend of ours who happened to be a minister of the Gospel. "We will sure," we responded, not even imposing any of the usual conditions. "Well, here it is. I have been around with a subscription paper for the benefit of a few widows and orphans and such. I won't bore you with an account of the way this paper was received by some of the pillars of church and state. I just want to tell you what inspired this epigram." "Shoot it!" we challenged. "This is it: Some folks are so busy being good themselves that they have no time to be good to others." It is an epigram, aln't it?—Cleveland Plain Dealer. New Booze "There are certain South American and African tribes that drink this snake venom," said the zoo keeper. He held a huge rattlesnake carefully by the back of the head and one hand, and in the other hand was a tiny glass cup. The rattlesnake kept striking the cup furiously, leaving each time a drop of vicious, pale brown venom. The venom was for the use of homeopathic physicians, who prescribe it in cases of lecomotor ataxia. "Yes," said the keeper, "savages drink snake venom mixed with water for two reasons—first, because they say it immunizes them from snake bite, and, second, because they get a mild and pleasant jag from it. "I understand the jag isn't violent. It's more like the stimulus of a cup of very strong, filtered coffee. It's a jag that makes you vigorous and happy." Slipping the snake back in its glass cage, he departed, balancing the cup of pale brown venom carefully. Appealing. "Do you think women approve gen- erally of the church alliance mov- ment?" "Correct, if it is a movement up the ally to the wedding march." THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Under Discipline Hammond noticed that his wife looked tired one Saturday afternoon when he returned home early from the office. When he spoke of it she admitted that she was pretty well worn out, and when he discovered that she had drowned a tear on the lap of his coat he insisted that she should take an afternoon off. "You're worn out taking care of that youngster," he said. "Now, you just trot along to the matinee or anywhere you feel like going, and I'll attend to the offspring. He needs a little masculine discipline, anyway." Mrs. Hammond demurred on the ground that she didn't want Hammond to devote all his Saturday afternoon to taking care of the baby, but Hammond was determined and eventually had his way. "You're the dearest thing that ever lived," murmured his wife, as she kissed him goodby. "But I'm afraid you'll be sorry. Baby is so—so effervescent." "Pooch!" scooffed Hammond. Then he smiled in a superior way. When he returned to the living room Hammond found his son, who was seated on a small stool and looking quite impossibly virtuous, gravely contemplating the landscape from the front window. The situation appeared easy, so Hammond sat down on the chair nearest the infant and pulled out his oldest and smallest pipe. "What do you say to having a smoke, old man?" he inquired, jocularly. "Ough!" replied the baby, approvingly. Then he squirmed off his stool and went and stood by his father's side. "Rather a good stunt, having the feminine element take itself off occasionally, hey?" Hammond inquired pleasantly, as he pushed the tobacco down into his pipe with his little finger. He laid the pipe on the arm of the chair, rose and crossed over to the mantel to get a match. "Humph!" said the baby in a murified tone. Hammond turned in time to see him cramming as much of the pipe's stem down his throat as he could conveniently insert there. However, as his father teaped toward him, he gave a chuckle, removed the pipe from his mouth, dexterously shook the contents out of his own clean little cranium, then throw the pipe upon the hearth. The sound made by the amber mouthpiece as it broke against the tiles caused baby to become fairly delirious with joy. Squealing like an ecstatic pig, he ran from the living room back into the dining room. Hammond set his lips firmly. "Now," he said to himself, "is the time to teach him the rudiments of being a law-abiding citizen." He followed the baby into the dining room, where he was sitting under the table. Hammond stooped down and spoke sternly to the chuckling miscreant. "Come out, son." he said. Son merely hitched himself farther over toward the other side of the table, shaking his head delightedly. He then ran around the room three times, dexterously avoiding the father's outstretched hand every time he passed, then suddenly stopped and threw his arms around his father's knees, shouting joyously. Hammond disengaged himself and taking his son by the hand led him back into the living room. "Pick up that pipe, young man," said Hammond, sternly. "The baby blinked at him and the corners of his lips curled upward. "I mean it," in sissy tone. "The baby responds with his familiar chuckle and capered cheerfully. "Very well," said Hammond in a tone of finality. He led his son out into the hall. "Now, will you go back and pick up the pipe?" he inquired, "or will you go into the lavatory and stay for the rest of the afternoon." For answer the baby dived into the lavatory and plunged headlong into a pile of pleasantly plump pillows that had been left on the floor to get the sun. Finding this quite soul satisfying, he presently righted himself and beamed upon his progenitor. "You'll stay here?" asked Hammond, "Very well. You can come out when you're ready to mind dady". The baby merely projected himself once more into the mass of feathers. Thereupon Hammond shut the door and went back to the living room. Three-quarters of an hour later he returned and led his son forth to the scene of battle. "Now," he said, assuming a frown that should have sent terror to the infantile heart, "pick up that pipe." The small boy looked up into his father's face and the smile faded from his own plump countenance. He dropped his father's hand and gor down slowly upon his knees. Once more he gleaned up at his father. Seeing no sign of relenting, he put out his hand slowly, picked up the pipe, struggled to his feet and, with remarkably good aim, planted the pipe upon his father's solar plexus. Then, shouting in mirth, he fled. New Foundation for Cathedral Tower. The tower, 142 meters high, of Strasburg Cathedral, rests on foundations that are nearly 650 years old, and has yet to become unsound, since for some five centuries past the dooryard has shown cracks, which are continually widening. The city that has been decided upon by an international commission of architects is rather surprising. The tower is to rest on a platform constructed of oak tree trunks capable of supporting the eight million kilos which it weighs. The cost is estimated at more than £6,000.—From the Architectural Review. Choice Locations. "The advertising man has his troubles these days." "As to how?"

New York—This city claims 809 of the 469 members of the fashionable set, according to the revised list of "Who's Who" in society evoked by Charles Wilbur de Yon Nicholls, former clergyman and governor general of the National Society of Colonial Cavaliers, in his book, "The 469 Ultra-Fashionables of America." In selecting the three hundred New Yorkers, who, Mr. Nicholls says, are the occupants of the highest pool. Mrs. Ogden Mills, 8r. tions obtainable at the inner shore of fashionable life in America, the author absolutely ignores Pittsburgh, Chicago and Boston, the home of culture and refinement, as social centers of this country. The highest pinnacle in the leadership of New York society is conferred by Mrs. Nicholas upon Mrs. Ogden Mills, Sr., who, since the death of Mrs. William Waldorf Astor, has assumed complete leadership here. Sach persons as Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Morgan, St. and Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Morgan, St. and John D. Rockefeller and John B. D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie, Mrs. Edwin Hiriman, members of the Poll family and various others equally as widely known are not mentioned among the "463." The author explained the omission by saying that in compiling his list he had kept as close as possible to persons whose names have figured in times gone by as entertainers. Mr. Morgan, Mr. Rockefeller and the others, he explained, did not go in for entertaining to any lavish extent, and therefore could not be included as social leaders. *Philadelphia* Mr. Nicholls gives a place in his list to thirty-two persons. Many persons, otherwise generally recognized as members of the set, are omitted by the author because of their manners. He explains that he does not mean to imply they are without them entirely, yet he is certain their etiquette does not permit them Home of Mrs. Mills. to occupy prominent social positions. Those, he said, he had placed in another category, or a "waiting list." A few more steps and a little polishing, he averred, would entitle them to a place in a late revision of the "469." IS NEW YORK'S OLDEST HOUSE Building at 122 William Street Erected About 220 Years Ago—First Blood of War Shed Here. New York—Attention is called in the latest number of the Real Estate Board of Brokers Bulletin to the building at 122 William street, which is said to be the oldest building in New York city. It was built in 1692 or thereabouts, of narrow Dutch brick imported from Holland and laid in cement. When the city opened the streets in the vicinity of the William street building it owned the property and placed restrictions in the deeds, such as some modern developers make, that the lots should be improved with buildings at least two stories high. There is a shed in the rear of the building which, the Bulletin says, marks the spot of first bloodshed in the Revolutionary War. This section, then known as Golden Hill, was the camp of the Sixteenth regiment of Foot (British Grenadiers), and almost two months before the battle of Lexington the Sons of Liberty attacked them, with a result of five British soldiers wounded and one American killed and three wounded. The event is down in history as the battle of Golden Hill. The building is on the east side of William street between John and Fulton streets. It has been owned for many years by the Glifford family.

(Special to Chicago Defender)—From 2 young and ambitious high school student here comes the following wail. After years of endeavor and with the hon- ‘ors in view his color has put him out: “T attended the high school here and they gave an oratorical contest for scholar who should represent this part of the state in the oratorical contest during the interscholastic meet which was held at Charleston, May 11. For some unknown reason the judges awarded me first place. This meant that I should represent Eastern Illinois at Charleston. Of the five hundred students that attend this school only four were colored, Well, you can Well imagine how the White students felt when it was reported that a Negro was to represent their school. There Were several meetings ‘of the students and a committee was appointed to ste me and they tried to get me to withdraw. They even tried to bribe me. Of course { held my own, ‘Well, to make a long story short, 1 would not withdraw. ‘Things went along pretty steadily. Monday, May 6, the principal called me into his office and asked me how I was get- ting along with my preparations for Charleston. I told him, all right, so far. He then showed mo in the school ‘constitution where it was a violation to send a person to represent a school ‘who was not up in all of their daily work. He told me that the teachers had informed him that 1 was down in my dally work, which I am glad to say, was untrue, I knew then that that was only a echeme to keep me from going to Charleston. I then told him {t was immaterial to me whether I went or not, I decided that I would not go to school here any more because they had done’ me such an underhanded trick to keep me from my honors. I therefore quit and don’t intend to go to school here any more. ‘The entire city is wrought up over this pathetic case and the matter Is sent to you in hopes that a wider publicity will tend to prevent a repe- tition of auch cases.

He'd have got it, too, if he could have etuck out for another twenty yards, for that’s about as far as my rifle car- les.” Resing a King, One of our naval officers tells of az ineldent that occurred when an Ameri can war vessel was lying at anchot in a Europesn port, on which occa sion it was visited by a monarch and is sulte. One of tho members of this suite resplendent in gold lace and decors tions, with a big sword at his side and sporting a huge mustache, was explor ing the ship, and, being ignorant of things nautical, had leaned against the main-hatch windsail, mistaking {t for a mast. Of what ensued the officer of the deck was Informed by, the boat swain’s mate, who had seen the catas. trophe and who broke the news of it thus: “You will excuse me, sfr, but I think one of them Kings has fell down the main hateb, slt."—Harper's Magazine.

SKUNK’S WEAPON OF DEFENSE So Awful Is the Effects of Its Spray That No Living Thing WII At tack It. The skunk is about the size of a Jarge cat, and so awful 1s the effects of its apray that no ving thing, un: Jess by mistake, will attack It, and in consequence it 1s quite fearless, and will hardly get out of the way of man. 4ir, Hudson, who has had experience of it In South America, tells of how a foolish eagle vulture, pressed by hun: ger, tried to selze the menacing tall, but immediately afterwards began staggering about with disheveled plumage, tearful eyes and a profuse- AY woebegone expression on its vulture face. After a dog bas once experienced those few dreadful drops of perfume, St will hardly ever bo induced to at tack the little flend again, But if, after much persuasion and banter, a poor canine, bolder than the avarage, {6 ‘urged to the attack, and can seize the skunk by tho back, then tho vietory may lie with the dog, but if the spray reaches the dog before it can do this, it will fall down as if shot, and not recover for days, A drop on a man’s coat will render it quite useless for further wear, For the preservation of life man has de- Veloped brain, the elephant ite tusks, the tiger ita claws and teeth, the deer its fleetness of foot, the snake its pol- son, the stinging nettle its sting, the bush its thorn and the skunk its dropa of horrible odor, so powerful that it tortures tho olfactory nerves past en- durance, and pervades the whole sys tem like a pestilent ether, TRauseating one, until sea-dickness seems almost 9 pleasant sensation in comparison, Getting It All, ‘The doctor told him ho needed car- dohydrates, protelds, and, above all, something nitrogenous, ‘Tho doctor mentioned a long list of foods for him to eat, He staggered out and wab- died into a Penn avenue restaurant. “How about Dbeefsteak?” he asked the walter. "Is that nftrogenous?™ The walter didn't know. “Are frled potatoes rich in carboby- @rates or not?" ‘The walter couldn't say. “Well, I'l Bx it” ‘declared the poor man in despair, '“Bring me n largo plate of hasb."—Pitisburg Post. Laborer Finds Old Coins. A laborer working on the Jericho turnpike at Commack, L. I, dug up a bag of old coins. Within’ a minute other diggers were fighting for posses- ston of the colns. ‘Tho bag was res- cued, with balf tts contents gone, by William O'Brien, foreman of tho gang. Bome of the colns were dated 1762. None was of earlier date than the early part of the eighteonth century. Folly and Wisdom. A fool always wants to shorten space and time; a wise man wante to Jengthen both.—Ruskin. Why Can't They Keep Quiet?

Why not do some taking? ‘There are so many men and women working in the loop district who, to use the vernacular of the street, are “passing,” that some Jloquacions wag has suggested that a home coming plenic be given. No doubt there would be some funny sights. ‘What would happen to the Negro in the gouth if he voted the Democratic ticket? There has been much discus: sion of late on this subject and the editor of The Defender should tke ‘some expressions from the readers on the subject. Make your articles short ‘and to the point. ‘The strike situation remains about the same. In the meantime some of our big dailies are finding it a hard matter to keep their heads above wa- ter. ‘There is an old adage that says, “I> an il wind that blows nobody good.’ “The World,” formerly the Sociilist's paper, 1s going forward by Teaps and bounds, and gives, promise to outrival all of the others. The pub- ie seems to be in sympathy with the strikers, and doubly 20 because they showed’ willingness to arbitrate. ‘The newspaper magnates could not see it that way and propose to do as they have done in Californla's largest city.

Living places were 90 scarce for certain element of poople that they were glad to take anything at any rice.

Mat: den to answer this narrow misrepre- the ground so completely, we refrain from commenting further on the ‘subject. Rennold Wolf, one of the best the- trical writers we have, gives in the June “Green Book" a real life story of Bert Williams, who has the dis- inetion of hing the most modest ae- tor in America, Mr. Wolf says: “Bert Williams, bingk though he be, is deemed by many experts the greatest of all our comedians—the greatest in fee of obstacles such as no white player ever has been required to meet, ‘And because he is what he ig, a black, ‘and because there still exists an un- deniable prejudice axainst his race, ‘Yoth in professional and private cir: eles, leas is known of him off the stage than of any of our really great actors.” Mr. Williams has won his fame and good fortune by the sweat Of his brow, ‘True, he had talent, but of what use is talent {f there is no way of showing it? A man of color must needs do everything better than his white competitor to receive notice or credit. He was modest, unobtra- sive. took advantage ‘of every oppor tunity and prepared himself, when the opportunity did present itself, to make goo. The season spent at the bead of Ziesficld’s Follies, one of the largest and most -popular’ organizations on the rond, simply emphasized the fact that he stands alone in the world of high elass comedy. BLACK BREAD OF GUETERSLOH How Bismarck” Started Creze for Westphatian Pumpernickel and ‘Made Fortune of Bakers. Guetersioh was a town of some fit teen hundred inhabitants some eighty Years ago when, one day during the manenvers, a young Heutenant took up his quarters there. This lieutenant came from Pomerania, where they aleo make black bread of fine quality, but he liked better the peculiar flavor of tho Westphalia article. Tile name was Bismarck, In the year 1870 Dismarck was again traveling through Guetersloh, this time as chancellor. King Willlam was with him. When the train ‘stopped the prime minister called on: genially to the crowd that had come ‘to meet them: “Is there any one who can get us some pumpernickel with butter?” As a number of reporters were pres. ent when this query was made the for. tune of the Guetersioh black bread was made, and ft speedily became the fashion all over Germany. The craze for Westphalian pumpernickel spread far and wide, cunningly furthered by the bakers who now baked for export only small one-pound loaves, for the purpose of making it look “more like A delicatessen," as they say. The bakers of Guetersloh were worldly wise, for from the samo Kneading-troughs there go into ‘the oven first the huge loaves (certain of these that go to the farm-houses often weighing half a bundredwelght) and then, shaped of what fs left, the tiny Joaves that are wrapped in paper and exported to all parts of the world to be sold at a delicatessen. 7 Brlef Wille.

Geeta villa MY, Along with the changes of styles in clothes, millinery, ete., comes some- thing new in the line of prejudice. That @ new addition to the city’s progress in the shape of a great skyscraper should bring with it a new form of prejudice {s grently to be regretted. ‘The Realty building at Center and Joiferson is a sign of progress which gladdens the hearts of all good citi zens, and colored people are in that category. But the treatment of colored people who enter it on business Is a sign of retrogression. That at this Inte day anything of that nature should be even thought of, much less practiced, is a thing to arouse think- ing colored people. Even though matters may be straightened out and smoothed over, it will not soon be forgotten that the refusal of elevator service to colored people was first proposed by the au- thorities of that building. As far as we can learn no one ac: tually gave the order to refuse col ored people such service, but it does not stand to reason that an ordinary elevator man would take it on him- self to tell anybody to “use the stairs.” Someboily gave that order and to that someboly belongs the honor and the credit of suggesting something new. it is a healthy sign that the colored people are indignant and resent this treatment, As far as we can learn there is not a building in the city that ever pro- posed such a rule, If this goes by without protest and resentment, we may expect to be told to get off the sidewalk or stay out of the parks or some other extreme southern regula. tion, The man who proposed this rule, though it be withdrawn, Is mighty little in mind and heart.

Miss Brown as a soloist showed in many ways her ability as an arttst, giving her numbers in a most artistic manner Her voice is not what one could conscientiously call a contralto, it being more of a mezzo soprano. Her middle register is rich and full, but the lower register in which the con- tralto showld excel lacked resonance and was used in a forced manner which completely destroyee its beauty. Miss Brown sang in French, German and Italian, her French articulation being particularly pleasing. The sing: er is an artist beyond a doubt but not as famous nor as great as time will make her; William Hackney the tenor soloist on the programme is develop: ing an intelligence of technic in a very promising manner, 'Tis true his voice is lacking in natural sweetness but what it lacks along natural lines is being gained through culture and one ean look for great things from him later, Both artists possess a most delightful stage presence, The Cri terion Club are to be commended on their wise choice of artists for the oc casion and the Defender wishes them continued success.

Williams was the contralto, dis- played a most beautiful voice. She is an intelligent as well as an intellectu- al singer. ‘The upper tones although of a forced quality were given proper placement and will develop later into a rich quality. ‘The beauty of the lady's voice lies in the lower register whieh is simply grand. Her articula- tion, pronunciation and declamatory style was the delight of every one. George 1. Johnson, the tenor, is one of the finest lyric tenors of the race. Every tone was well modulated, placed and attacked. His voice is bean- titully light and flexible and his sing- ing left nothing to be desired. Miss Gertrude Jackson and Mrs. Pelagie Blair need no commendation as they are accompanists of the first: magui- tude. ‘The orchestra that assisted the lub were a hindrance rather than an assistance, not because of a lack of knowledge but because of insufficient practice. Their tempo was poor and the reading of the scores careless. It behooves all to be sufficiently. inter- ested in their own reputation not to attempt anything in a haphazard way and also to have the interest of those whom they are assisting at heart so there will be no lack of harmony. Prof. Tinsley as a teacher of voice and a director of vocal music is un- surpassed but there is a vast differ- ence in vocal and orchestral directing. ‘The professor works most assiduously with his study club and is capable ot bringing out 2ll the beauty in music and it is very essential that the mem- bers of the club give him more serious study and thereby show to the pub- lic that they appreciate the most ex- cellent man who is their director and chief. Frank P. George's “Danabegay” (danee and be gay) was a grand suc cess in every way. A most enjoyable programme was given before dancing in which Opal Cooper, tenor, sang most effectively. Mr. Cooper is im: proving rapidly; he has a rich mellow voice which gives of making him one ot our leading robust tenors. Miss Nellie Revell and Frank George in 1 scene from Oliver Twist, were the re cipients of storms of applause which were most deservingly given, Miss St. Claire White, Chicago's wonderful young violinist entranced the audi ence with her great gift, She is un doubtedly a genius.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Man in “Grey Ghost” Is Terror of Southern California Foothill Cities. “BURNS UP ROADS” Mysterious Pirate Sweeps About Night After Night Robbing as His Fancy Dictates—Valuables or Trifles Ap- peal to Him Allke. , Los Angeles, Cal—"Grey Ghost,” a low-swung racing car, with its gog- Bled, supposed owner at the wheel, and with the exhaust roaring and thundering a protest from its powerful engines, has been sweeping through Glendora and surrounding towns up: on a plratical mission that has spread terror in its wake. Along foothill boulevards, the stretch of well-paved road that leads from Loa Angeles through Glendora, the pirate car and its owner have sped night after night upon marauding ex- peditions. It is only when the car is out on the boulevards, where other cars are wending their way to and from the little cities near the foothills, that the “Grey Ghost” is let loose with all its speed. Then it flashes by other automobiles, giving the occupants a moving-picture view of a swift-speed- ing car with a driver huddled behind the wheel, a mere blur of a buman being, whizzing on. Seven times the “auto pirate” and his gray streak of a car have been seen by orange growers who live along the boulevard.

One of the strange features in con- “nection with the case is the fact that the “auto pirate” seems to know every crook and turn in the roads leading in and about Glendora, Covina, Duarte, Monrovia, Claremont and oth- er towns.

Batting Counts More In Long Run Than Team Work, Base Running or Inside Play—Some Few Ex- ceptions to the Rule. Batting is what wins pennants In spite of the fact that now and then some fan or baseball expert will argue that team work or base running or In- side play is the factor that counts more than base hits In the winning of games. ‘The claim {s frequently made that the best batting team often fn- fshes behind teams tn the pennant race that are not noted for their prow- ess with the bat. ‘Thelr argument has been good a few times. but in the majority of cases the club that leads the league in bat- ting also wins the blue ribbon. It can't be denied that the team that makes the most hits gets the: chances to steal the most bases and otherwise takes chances that the weak batting teams cannot. ‘There are. of course, exceptions to the role. The Athletics, winners of the American League pennant last season, led all the other teams with a club batting average of 294 per cent. The Glants, prospective win- ners of the National League race, led the league with an average of .271 per cent. In 1910 the Glants batted some seven points better than Chicago, yet the Cubs won the pennant, On the other hand, the Athletics won ont and Jed in batting also, In 1909 the bat: tpg leaders in the big leagues were Detroit and Pittsburg, both — cham: pions, In 1908 Detroit had the best batting outtit in the America and won the bunting, but New York led the Chicago pennant winners at the bat.

In 1905 the Athletics, second to the Naps in batting, won the pennant and (hen test the serles to the Giants, who hnd led the National League batters. ‘This resume shows that in the last six years four American Leagne pen- nant winners have also led the league fm batting. white in the National Lengute three pennat, winners have al so been batting lenders, the cham- vlons twice being the rimnersup in hitting.

The game broke up in the tenth in- ning when the Giants left the field. ‘They were hurried to a bus and were taken to thelr hotel, but not until they had been surrounded by a mob and were the targets for sticks and stones, which were so poorly aimed that they did no damage to the New York players. ‘The score was tied at 3 to $ when the trouble occurred, VALUE OF THE SUNROOM Wise Woman When Superintending the Bullding of Her Home Will Add 'This Apartment, ‘The wise woman when superintend. ing the bullding of her home will add a sunroom to the house.

No less would the songs of Beatrice stir more hearts without the distractions of gaping hooks and missing buttons. Externals do count, however broad we may think out views to be.

Carelessness, however, in the dress of either men’ or women, 8 usually betrayed by details.

F “Inside ball’ is a term which puz- zles many enthusiasts, Tho expres- sion Immediately brings to mind se eret manipulations on the diamond and 4s generally passed up as being too deep. In reality. inside ball Js nothing more or less than playing the game. There Is no mystery about it. Of course, every major league and minor league squad has its “signs,” or signals as they are called by the fans, writes Malcolm MeLean in the Cb!- cago Evening Post. But so have foot- ball teams and basketball squads. Take the average ball game. The home team Is at bat, nobody Is down and there's a runner on first. The batter tries to lay down a sacrifice bunt, and misses the ball. “Aw, bit “er out,” yells a bleacherito In disgust. Then he turns to his nelghbor and growls, “Geo, I can't stand for that Kind of a game, What's that guy try- ing to bunt for? Why don’t he hit ‘em to the fence?” Thia fastance 18 one of the many “mysteries” of inside ball, It’s play- tng the game to sacrifice that man around to second, from which point he can easily score on a single. If the batter tries to hit safoly right from the jump there's the Immediate danger of a double play, and two men ont. Take another case. There's a man on first and a left-hander at bat.

If the batter hits right-handed the sec- ond baseman usually covers second. Yet this is the so-called inside ball which has so many fans wondering what's it all about, ‘The Cubs in the past were called masters of Inside ball. The reason was they had played together so lonk that every man knew the instant the ball was hit Just what to do under the elreumstances. In other words, it was Second sense or “Inside ball” if you prefer. ‘Yet this style of play doesn't _al- ways win—far to the contrary, Fre- quently the Toston Red Sox have thrown inside ball to the winds and played the hit-and-run game Instead of sacrificing. They broke up the defense of the rival teams by pulling stuff ‘when not expected. It’s far more spec- tacular If they get away with It. For Instance, with first and second occu: pled and none out, to have the batter knock the ball over the fence at the first pitch warms the cockles of the heart more than a dinky little bunt and an ont at first But you'll find that in the Jong run the team whlch plays the game ns It should from the start of the season to the end will finish better than tts rival, if both squads are about equal in strength. Cap Anson says the old Chicago Colts used as much Inside ball as the great teams of today, and proves bis point, So if it wasn't mys terious thirty years ago st shouldn't be so today.

(Special to The Chicago Defender.) Boston, Mass., May 31.—The liberty loving citizens of this commonwealth and the race loving people in particular are all agog over the report that has gained circulation here, that Christus Attack's monument is to be removed from Boston Commons. The report gained credence rapidly and some go so far as to assert that a Southern society has asserted its influence to the extent that the monument, the pride of years, will soon be moved elsewhere. Confirmation of these sensational reports is a hard matter, but your correspondent has talked with a number of persons with sufficient standing in the community to warrant the question, will enlighten Boston stand for this? Will the younger generation, proud of the history of their forefathers, stand for this wanion insult to the sacred memory of William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner and Harriet Beecher Stowe and the hundreds of other race patriots would almost be a farce if such a project was allowed to be carried out. --- What is Boston going to do about it? Mental Diseases. Fear and apprehension make people nervous and sick. The thousand and one needless worries over the future are simply providence for the morrow gone mad. Fear of disease and death are normal; but to allow the mind to dwell on these things is to become a hypochondria with no more stability than the leaf of the aspen. Discontent. We are never more discontented with others than we are discontented with ourselves. The consciousness of wrongdoing makes us irritable, and our heart, in its cunning, quarrels with what is outside it, in order that it may deafen the clamor within.—H. F. Amtel. The Deadly Dust. Out of every thousand of those whose occupations calls for constant work in dusty quarters, five die of consumption, according to German official figures; whereas among those who are not exposed to the action of dust only two out of a thousand die of the disease named Noble Practice. Let us all resolve—first, to attain the grace of silence; second, to deem all fault-finding that does no good a sin; third, to practice the grace and virtue of praise.—Harrlet Beecher Stowe. England's Forante Gene The forests for which England was at one time famous have vanished or only exist in the attenuated form of carefully preserved woods and parks, from which can be obtained only a fraction of the supplies needed. Whales May Live 500 Years. The land animal which lives the longest probably is the tortoise. Under favorable conditions it will live to an age of 350 or 400 years. One died at the London Zoo which was said to have attained the age of 350 years. The ordinary whale lives to be 500 years old. No other animal of the sea lives to be that old. Sympathy Counts. We often do more good by our sympathy than by our labors, and render to the world a more lasting service by absence of jealousy and recognition of merit than we could ever render by the straining efforts of personal ambition—Farrar. Just Try It Set about doing good to somebody; put on your hat, and go visit the sick and the poor; inquire into their wants and minister to them. Seek out the desolate and oppressed. I have often tried this medicine, and always find it the best autodote for a heavy heart. John Howard.

Detroit, Milech, May—Harry Woods, erstwhile waiter at the Gadillac hotel cafe, and wearing a smile that ought to be worth a fortune to him in this, was arrested Tuesday on a warrant sworn out by C. W. Wilson, a fellow-laborer in the satisfying of fastidious palates, who charged that Woods hit him on the head with a water bottle. As a result of the annotating, Wilson has been confined to the house for a week, it is said, and still wears a big white plaster on his classic ebony brow. The trouble arose over Wilson being sent by the head waiter to attend a generous looking patron and his guest, in cafe territory which was coveted by Woods. Woods, according to Wilson's story, came near him as he was placing the bread and butter and water, and adjusting the pepper and salt and makin so as to assure the visitor that he was on the job and was going to look out for him as a generous gentleman should be cared for. Woods is alleged to have made an ugly remark, for which he was referred to the head waiter. The water bottle then did its work.

Here the residents of the neighborhood not only find delicious refreshments but a large and select stock of tobacco, cigars, vegetables and all kinds of canned goods, smoked and dried meats. The Chicago Defender and other weekly papers are also on sale there. Speaking of his establishment to a reporter Mr. Galines said "This is the last chance store; after going to all of the other stores in the neighborhood, and not finding what they want the people should come to us. We are always open, our regular business hours are from 5 a. m., until 1 p. m." With the able assistance of his wife Mr. Gaines has made one of the most marvelous successes in business that has been seen on the South Side. The reporter was pleased to learn that the efficient clerk behind the counter was his son, Mr. Clyde B. Gaines.

London, England, May 21—Members of the house of commons have just been confronted with the dilemma of whether to pay more for the house dinner, which is reputed to be the finest in the world for a quarter, or to cut down the menu. The kitchen committee proposed, owing to the increased prices of provisions, to raise the price to 36 cents and continue the menu of a joint, two vegetables, sweets, bread, butter and cheese. Nationalists and laborists, of which there were five on the committee, objected to an increase in the price, whereupon a compromise was reached by which the sweets were cut out. Thus the famous shilling dinner will be shorn of much of its glory, but it will be supplied by the house without loss. Mr. Arthur Dryburgh, son of Alexander Dryburgh, the new proprietor of the Virginia Hotel at Rush and Ohio streets, Chicago, has been appointed steward of that hotel and has entered upon the discharge of his duties.

But the native did not seem to comprehend either their gestures on their hybrid language.

Absent-minded persons sorely try the patience of girls in the New Rochelle telephone office. Not long ago a woman confessed herself subject to extreme forgetfulness and requested the day operator on her exchange to ring her up every morning at nine o'clock. A week later she said: "Central, what was it I wanted you to call me for at nine o'clock?" "I don't know," said the girl. "You didn't tell me. You just asked me to call at nine o'clock." "Too bad," said the woman. "I know there was something I wanted to do every morning at nine o'clock, but I can't for the life of me think what it was." The nine o'clock continued, however, and several days later the woman took central into her confidence again. "I have found out why I wanted to be called," she said. "A friend had given me a canary and I wanted to make sure of remembering to feed it. The poor little thing is nearly starved. Hereafter when you ring won't you just say, 'Feed the bird,' and I'll go straight and do it?" Central promised, and the neglected canary is now a plump and contented bird. LITTLE CHANCE TO OVEREAT Kentuckian Visits Grill Room of New York Hotel and Has Hearty Breakfast. After his brother had been in New York a little more than a year, a Kentuckian decided to pay him a visit. Hoping to surprise his brother, the Kentuckian did not apprise his brother of his intentions. Arriving at nine o'clock in the morning, he asked to be directed to a good eating house. The taxcab pilot steered his course for the largest, costliest and most fashionable hotel grillroom on Broadway. Being a stranger in a strange land and hungry, the Bluegrass brother ordered a regular home meal. When he got the check from the waiter its size staggered him. He wasn't accustomed to New York hotel prices. After verifying the correctness of his bill at the cashier's desk and being insulted by the waiter for tipping him twenty-five cents, the visitor started out to look for his brother, whose office he found about one o'clock. In response to his inquiry as to his brother's whereabouts, a clerk said: "He's over at Blank's hotel's new grillroom." "Go slow, friend, only a millionaire could overheat at the Blank hotel.

MEDICAL VALUE OF SPICES ‘They Arouse the Appetite and Pro- mote the Secretion of the Gas- ‘trlo dulce. ‘The spices are a very. interesting group of substances; they are the foundation of a considerable industry, they have thelr medical uses and flual- Jy are of special importance in dietet- feo. ‘Pheir vatuo resides in their richness fn aromatic substances and essential oils; strictly speaking, they are not foods, but often enough they aro es- sentlal elements in tho diet. Spices have been the subject of classic re search, as, for example, in the clover and important investigation which Pawlow undertook as to the psyeble influences of food and as to the value of zest in nutrition, Splces were shown to arouse appe- tite and to promote the secretion of the gastric juice, and the role they play therefore in dietetics is a very {mportant one, The medicinal action of some of them fs further of value. Allspice, for example, is used as an aromatic and bas been successfully ad- ministered for flatulency or for over- coming griping due to purgatives, and occasionally it 13 reported that the oll gives rellef in rheumatism and neural- ia, ‘The medical uses of cianamon are Well known.

The applications ‘of capsicum and the peppers general- ly sre well known, Cloves are aro- matic, carminative and stimulant and have been used in dyspepsia, gastric Srritation and in cases of vomiting In Pregnancy.

Cuba ends to the south in a huge bammer of mountains 8,000 feet high and steeping sheer into the sea. The wall does not end there, but” con- tinues its precipitous descent into the 2O0milelong abyss called Bartlett's deep. This gigantic submarine valloy is nearly four miles deep and 0 miles wide, At a milo and a half, the pressure of the water is nearly two tons to the ‘Square inch; the ooze that comes up from such a depth, though the equator runs overhead, is cold as hoar frost; it Js ten times certain that no vegeta- tion can grow there. As in dur world none but the vege- tablet are able to make food, it ought to follow that In the depths of the sea there should be no animal life. As a matter of fact, these glooms are in- habited by the most grotesque and chimericat of all fishes. It would seem as though In the darkness Ife had taken every imaginable license to be ugly and bizarre. Cannibalism is evi- dently the only method of }..e, and its equipment runs to every kind of ex- travaganeo. There are fish with teeth so long that they cannot close their mouths, fish that draw their stomach over prey larger than themselves, fish with no more mouth than a leech, and get- ting their living as leeches, flsh with huge, myople eyes, and fish frankly blind, Probably none of them comes from depths quite beyond the region of lght, though a great many of them go poking about their ghoulish business furnjshed with lanterns of the glow- ‘worm type, Cannibal Fishes and Humane People. While as a measure of economy the great majority of all the fshes and other creatures at the Aquarium are fed on dead food, such as cut up fish, or, as in the case of some of the larger ones, small dead fish whole, there are some fishes which if they are to be kept alive or in condition must have Ilve food such as thoy ‘would find In nature. In thelr free state all fishes are cannibals, This is the way of nature. But among tho visitors at the Aqua- rlum there are people who consider the placing of live Itttle fishes In the tanks to be devoured by bigger fish as cruel and in deference to this feeling the fishes that must be supplied with live food are fed before the Aquarium 4s opened in the morning and after tt 4a Closed at night Has Had Every President as Its Guest Except Taft. * Ancfent Building in Virgina Has Long Been Famous for Its Fish and | : Chicken Dinners—Only Dweil- Ing Left of City. Washingion—On the Virginia side of the Great Falls of the Potomac, commonly known as “the Niagara of the South,” fourteen miles from Wash- Angton, Is an ancient buljding, the old Dickle house, connected with which 1s the pleasing tradition that every presi. dent of the United States has taken dinner beneath its root tree, President Taft alone excepted. The old habita- tion, long famous for its fish and chicken dinners, {s the only dwelling left of the departed City of Matildas- ville, that was called into being by the construction of the Potomac Com- pany Canal, of which George Wash- ington, after relinquishing hls com- mand at the close of the revolution, was promoter and president. Generations ago the canal was aban. doned and Matildasville vanished from the map. ‘The old Dickie house alone Temains. George Washington often ate beneath its roof. When the Brit {sh captured Washington in 1814 Pres- Ident Madison and his ‘cabinet, it is sald, tarried for a meal before cross- ing the river. All the presidents but one are said by the, descendants of the original owner of the house to have sat at the table In the little din- ing-room when visiting the falls and to have partaken of fish and chicken cooked tn a style that has made the Dickle family famous for its culinary accomplishments. Some are skeptical enough to question this claim, but it {s put forth with such stress that most visitors depart strong in the faith that they have eaten 2 meal in a room that has been honored by the presence of all the presidents but one. As yet President Taft has not sat in judg- ment upon a meal at Dickie’s, and tho absorbing ambitibn of the proprietor of the house Is to make the list com- plete. Since the completion of the trolley line to the Great Palls of the Potomac this beautiful work of nature has at- tracted a great interest among excur- sfonists, The trip to the falls {s one of the most popular tn the vicinity of the national capital. Last year, 170, 000 excursionists visited tho falls, In addition, thousands of other sightseers made the trip by automobile or car- ringe on the Maryland side. This route is far more beautiful than the one on the Virginia side, for the road winds along the river and the Chesa- peake and Ohio Canal to the famous Cabin John bridge, which was built when Joffercon Davis wae secretary of war, During the clvil war the name aati SO aE AS ag POEL CREE ees ee se eee ee ee pe ie sas Boas Nie costae a BIOS, Goyal OS aS Giese SE Rs ee ING THe: NIBBAPA BE AKe BOUAKE? of Jefferson Davis, which was inserib- ed on the bridge, was chiseled out, but A few years «igo it was replaced, an episoile that attracted wide interest at the time.

Above them is a dain which holds back the water for the Washington supply. A rise of one inelt at the dam makes a rise of eight inches in the water as it passes over the falls and down the gorges. ‘The spectacle is one of great majesty. ‘The river splits and runs around a craggy Ist- and, and the two parts rush together again and pour thunderously between great rocks which split the flood into three separate waterfalls, as it tum. bles over the precipice into the cal iron. ere the water, rushing in from three angles, forms a great whirl. pool and thence rages through a nar.
