--- VOLUME VII. NUMBER 23. PROGRESS IN SAVANNAH. Mr. A. L. Tucker Buys Lots -Pythlans to Erect Hall. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Savannah, Ga., June 7—Work will begin in a short time on the Knights of Pythias hall, which will be built on the southwest corner of Jefferson and Gaston streets. The building will be three stories high, and will cost at least $15,000. The property was secured some time ago. The lot fronts 60 feet on both Jefferson and Gaston streets and the building will occupy the entire space. The first floor will be used for store purposes and will be rented out, to desirable tenants. At present there are three small stores on the property and these will be torn down in the near future. To be ready for occupancy August first, the buildings on the southwest corner of Barnard and York streets will be remodeled and made into a modern apartment house with stores on the ground floor. The property was sold Saturday afternoon by Mrs. Josephine Seay to A. L. Tucker, for $18,500. The property fronts sixty feet on York street and runs back to the lane on Barnard street, a distance of 93 feet. There are two dwellings on the place at the present time. These houses will be vacated in the near future. The houses will be partly torn down and will be moved to front on Barnard street. Additions will be added and both houses will be raised. A new lower floor will be built to accommodate five stores, all of which will probably front on Barnard street. The building will be three stories high, the upper floors to be apartments. One apartment is to have an entrance on York and the other on Barnard street. The building will probably be trimmed in white, and will present a most attractive appearance. Mr. Tucker is a railway mail clerk and between trips engages in the practice of law. He is one of the best known men in Savannah and at different times has purchased property in various parts of the city. Elgin, the Scene of A Quiet Wedding Uniting Well-Known St. Louis Nurse and Chicago Business Elgin, Ill., June 6.—One of the interesting social events recently was the marriage of Miss Georgia Smith, of St. Louis, and Mr. William Williams, of Chicago, on May 29. The ceremony was a quiet home affair at the home of the bride's aunt, 465 Hill street. Only the immediate family were present. Rev. R. H. Cato performed the ceremony. The following day, at an informal reception, the happy couple received the congratulations of a few of their friends. Among those present were Mrs. Fanny Johnson, Rev. and Mrs. R. H. Cato, Mr. Edward Newsome, Rev. McWilliams and Mrs. M. McWhorter. Mr. and Mrs. Williams immediately left for Chicago, where they are temporarily the guests of Mrs. McWhorter at her residence, 5008 Dearborn street, second flat. Later they will be at home to their friends at their own residence, 9442 LaSalle street. Mr. Williams is identified with the B. H. Johnson Van Co., of Chicago, while Mrs. Williams was formerly a trained nurse. Mme, Minnie Adams, Musical and Dramatic Theater, Burgiar with Hat, Pla Wednesday night, Mme. Minnie Adams, musical and dramatic editor of The Chicago Defender, Miss Maund B. Chandler and Prof. James Munday were held up at 37th and Grand boulevard. Three white men followed the trio from 37th and Indiana avenue. Mme. Adams, when one of the burglar threatened to hurt her, stuck him with a hat pin. The madam says she thought the Professor could better take care of one lady than two, and as a good run was better than a poor stand, she ran, thereby saving her diamond earrings and money. Prof. Munday was relieved of his money. Miss Chandler was not molested. The matter was reported to the police, but no arrests were made. PROMINENT MILWAUKEE BELLE MARRIES. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Milwaukee, Wis., June 7—The wedding of Miss Vivian Lucile Williams to Mr. John Duncan of Daytona, Fla., was solemnized at St. Mark's A. M. E. church Thursday evening, June 6. There has never been witnessed in Milwaukee such another wedding. It will be talked of as long as the town exists. After the wedding, a reception was held at the home of the bride's parents. They left at eleven o'clock for Niagara Falls and New York City. Many out-of-town people were present, including the best man from Richmond, Va., Mr. Julian Black, and Miss Isabel Black and Miss Isabel Simmons of Chicago. Miss Isabel Potter of Chicago was moid of honor, Miss Mica Coleman, stenographer to Mr. C. T. White, and sister were among the other prominent Chicagoans present. Mrs. Harry Boga, 3437 Wabash avenue, has returned home from St. Luke's Hospital, where she has been for three weeks under the care of Dr. D. H. Williams.

JESSE BINGA, MANAGER Fraternal and Other Organizations to Parade—Many Firms Arrange for Concessions—Entertainment Committee Planning Novelties for Every Night—Music by Visiting Bands—Miniature Circus—$20,000 Steam Calliope—A Giantic Undertaking But Successful From the First. --- Through the kindness of Mayor Carter H. Harrison and the city council Mr. Jesse Binga and a committee of progressive citizens have been granted a permit for a GRAND AUGUST CARNIVAL and FAIR on State street, from 30th to 39th street. In inaugurating this unique idea the committee had in mind a practical demonstration of the various enterprises that go to make up this wonderful business thoroughfare. Street to Be Abtaze With Lights. The last two weeks in August have been selected for the carnival. Every store and residence is to be decorated while strings of many colored lights will be strung from post to post and across the streets and there will be music on every corner. There will be truly parades and a new $30,000 calliope will continually make the rounds. Every theater will have extra attractions. Souvenirs of every kind will be freely distributed, and the Chicago Defender is negotiating for a special issue of ten thousand Frederick Douglass pennies. The Committee. The committee in charge of the carnival is Mr. Jesse Binga, manager; Mr. W. H. McCullough, assistant manager and inspector; Rankin & White, Peter P. Jones, Virgil Mackey and R. S. Abbott. This progressive committee believes that this carnival will give an opportunity for a display of State street business in a manner never before undertaken in the United States. Prominent speakers will make addresses at various points. Two Weeks of Profit and Pleasure State street will be "en fete," it will be a veritable walk of light and beauty. There will be many bands of music and entertainments everywhere. Watch for big advertisement in next week's issue. Space for Charity. By request space will be given free to all churches and deserving charitable institutions to enable them to solicit funds for their various causes. AT THE POMPEII. Mr. Thomas McCain, prominent in cafe circles and formerly of the Kentucky club, is now manager of the beautiful Pompei buffet and cafe, 20 and 22 East 31st street. With its splendid management and situated at the 31st street "L" station it is by far one of the most beautiful and the coolest spot on the street. Every one should hear the cathedral piano and the splendid array of entertainers. It is said that Mr. McCain pays more salary to his entertainers than any other establishment in the neighborhood. The consensus of opinion is that the Pompei has the best songs and the sweetest music and the finest service of them all. Mr. Thomas McCain, the manager, is accessible by Automatic No. 74-577 and Douglas 4808 and the number 20 and 22 East 31st street. THE MAXINE CAFE When Champion Jack Johnson returns after putting Jim Flynn under the doctor's care for a day or two he will open the old Palace on 31st street in the most elaborate style, as published exclusively in The Defender a short time ago. But great will be the surprise and keen the rivalry when the champion learns that the former owner of his own place will open an establishment next door. The Chicago Defender is in a position to state that Johnson's place and Moore's place when completed will make that portion of the street the most popular and the brightest in that neighborhood. A PLEA TO MUSIC LOVERS The management of the Choral Study club has outlined a plan that would soon place that splendid organization upon a self sustaining basis. The small number of two hundred per person in Chicago splendid musical association, you are interested kindly talk the matter over with Mr. Frank B. Waring.

NEWSPAPER PRAISES CITIZEN STILL JIM-CROWED NEWSPAPER PRAISES CITIZEN STILL JIM-CROWED The Atlanta Constitution, One of the Leading Daily Newspapers of the South, Whose Love for the Negro Is None Too Great, Gives Considerable Space to Mr. A. F. Herndon, a Citizen There Who Is En Route to Europe on His Honeymoon—Splendid Story of His Life, Accompanied by His Cut and That of His Son, and of the Interior and Exterior of His Residence. WEDS A CHICAGO GIRL The Well Merited Praise of This Influential Journal Pleases the Race Throughout the World—A Queen Contrast—Praise on One Hand, Bad Treatment on the Other—Citizen So Worthy to Deserve Special Mention, But Must Still Ride in a Jim Crow Car—A Peculiar Brand of Philosophy—Considered a Wealthy Man. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Atlanta, Ga., June 7—The Atlanta Constitution, in its issue of May 28, speaks most highly of our well known citizen, Mr. A. F. Herndon. The write-up is accompanied by a cut of himself and his son and of the interior and exterior of his residence. Chicagoans will be interested to know that Mr. Herndon was one of their charming young women in the person of Miss Jesse F. Gillespie. The Constitution printed the following: "A. F. Herndon, one of the best known and most highly respected Negroes of Atlanta, left yesterday for New York, where Thursday he will be married to Jessie F. Gillespie, taking his bride on a wedding trip that will include the principal countries of Europe and which will last four months. "Born a slave, commencing life in a community enfeebled by four years of war, handicapped by lack of training and resources. Herndon has achieved in the last forty years a success that is remarkable in the annals of the south, and has placed himself at the head of his race in this city, in a financial way and in all matters of progress. Steadily Mounts in World. "He numbers his friends among the white people of the city by the score. For many years proprietor of the leading barber shop on Peachtree street, he had for his customers the men who have made history, governors, congressmen, financiers, all of whom liked and respected him. Since going into the insurance and banking business he has steadily mounted in the world, until now, still far from being an old man, he has accumulated a comfortable fortune, built a home that vies in beauty with many show places of the south, and is a force and power for good among his people. "Hernod was born in Walton county, near Social Circle, and took his name from the white family that授予 his parents. He was only about 10 years old, free by the close of the civil war. "At that time he removed to Jonesville, where he grew into early manhood, and it was here that he first practiced his trade. He owned a small barber shop, and by thrift and industry accumulated money. In 1882 he came to Atlanta. Lays Foundation of Fortune. "It was then that he established the 'Herdon's' shop that has been a part of the city for so many years. By successful management and his high self-respect he won the bid and friendship of leading white people, and began to lay the foundations for the fortune which he has accumulated. He was manager of the shop at 66 Peachtree street until a few years ago, when he relinquished that, though still retaining his interest in it, to become president of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Association, which does a prosperous business among the Negroes of the state. He came to build his home, near the state university, it is said Herdon consulted no one, but, taking the ideas that he liked best, embodied them in a home that is excellent in taste and proportion. It is built of brick, with a white column entrance, and broad plazas on each side. The yard is beautifully kept and is surrounded by a substantial stone wall. "I designed it and built it myself." Herdon says, when you ask him about it. "Accompanying him to New York Monday was his 15-year son by a former marriage, who will make the trip abroad with his father. They will return to Atlanta about Oct. 1." The publication of this article pleased the residents of this great city, but all the praise accorded our worthy citizen did not enable him to travel as his financial condition and sterling worth entitled him to. Although singled out by reason of his business thrift as a prominent citizen worthy of the highest praise he is yet humiliated and treated like cattle by reason of his color. No class, no condition, in fact, nothing seemingly will do away with that nasty system south. COMMENCEMENT AT TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. Major R. R. Moton of Hampton Makes Principal Address. Tuskegee, Ala., June 7—The thirty-first annual commencement exercises of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Hon. Booker T. Washington, Principal, were concluded May 30 with the regular commencement program which had been divided into two parts. Major R. R. Moton delivered the annual R. R. Moton delivered to being commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute, Virginia, he is secretary of the Anna T. Jeanes Foundation for Rural School. His address was one of the best that has been delivered at Tuskegee Commencement exercises. He especially urged the members of the Senior Class not to become discouraged or morbid, but to keep their courage under all circumstances. "For," said he, "the negro never had more the respect and confidence of his neighbors, black and white, than he has today. Neither has he because of his real worth deserved that respect more than he does today. Could anybody amid the inspiration of these grounds and buildings be discouraged about the future of the negro? The race problem in this country, I respect, is simply a part of the great problem of his adjustment began when Cain slew Abel. Race prejudice is as much a fact as the law of gravitation, and it is as foolish to ignore the operations of one as the other. Mourful complaint and arrogant criticism are as useless as the crying of a baby against the roar of a great wind. The path of moral progress, remember, has never taken a straight line, but I believe that unless democracy is a failure and Christianity a mockery, it is entirely feasible and practicable for the black and white people of America to develop side by side, in peace, in harmony and in mutual helpfulness toward the other; living together as "brothers in Christ without being brothers-in-law" each making its peculiar contribution to the wealth and culture of our beloved country. THE DAVIS-HAYES SUIT Against Downtown Drug Company Be Filed by Their Attorney. Filed by Their Attorney. Maj. Franklin A. Dennison and Col. White, attorneys in the case of Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Hayes against a downtown drug company, filed suit on behalf of their clients on Wednesday to recover damages against that drug store in the loop that refused them a drink of soda. We are glad that these ladies have not done like most of our citizens, who are kicked by that cheap bunch that begrudge seeing you with a new toothpick, but spoke out and let the world know what is being done to them. They are unlike the average, leaving things in the hands of the Lord, but, instead, have put it in the hands of lawyers. Both Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Hayes said to a reporter for the Defender: "You may say for us that we are not in the least afraid of a white face, nor are we so crazy that we would sell our honor to him, when our fathers who were veterans in the civil war paid such a great price for it. We are citizens and will fight for our vestige of right there is. When our people," they continued, "stop being the monkey and strike the brute, be he man or woman, our people will be accorded far better treatment than they have ever had under any flag, even the British flag." NO INCREASE IN PENSIONS FOR WIDOWS. Rumor That Widows Were to Receive $75 Per Month Proves False. The recent legislation that resulted in the increase of the pensions of our soldiers has caused considerable excitement throughout this and other cities. Many construed the increase to include soldiers' widows, but such is not the fact. In a letter to the editor of the Chicago Defender Hon. Martin B. Madden, representative from the first district of Illinois, writes as follows: "Washington, D. C.-My Dear Sir: I have your letter of the 30th ult. and wish to say in reply that the new pension law does not cover soldiers' widows. Very truly yours, "MARTIN B. MADDEN." This information was secured at the request of several of our subscribers who by letter sought the truth about this greatly exaggerated matter. COULD HAVE PAID CASH. Mr. Thomas Gooch, 2625 Wabash avenue, an employee at the Stratford hotel for many years, has purchased the property at 3425 Forest avenue. Mr. Gooch had the assistance of Attorney Edward H. Wright in completing this deal and his attorney says that he never saw so much ready cash as he saw one day last week. MRS. HOWARD THANKS FRIENDS. Mrs. Lulu Howard wishes to thank her many friends for their kindness and assistance during her recent trouble. To attorneys Anderson and Wright and to the churches for their assistance before and after the trial, it will be remembered that Mrs. Howard was aquitted in Judge Dever's court a short while ago for the alleged theft of chickens, in Nashville, Tenn.

One of the most pathetic accidents in years resulting in death was that of Mrs. Maggie Love at her home on Florence boulevard in Blue Island on Friday morning last. Mrs. Love, the wife of Mr. Albert Love, prominent as an official of Ebenezer Baptist church, visited a near neighbor. A gun to kill hawks that devoured chickens was the cause of her death. A Sad Accident. Mrs. Love was in fear of the gun and Mrs. Nichols, her neighbor, deevoiled to discharge the weapon, it stuck, further effort also failed, and the weapon was laid aside.

AFRICAN JUMPER HOLDS WORLD'S RECORD Jumping 5 Feet 5 Inches Under Ad verse Circumstances. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Zubail, June 1, 1912.-The Duke of Mecklenburg made an excursion into "The Heart of Africa," saw some wonderful things and made pictures and stories about some of them. Among other wonderful things the duke saw some high jumping that would put to shame even our own champion, George Horine, who recently broke Sweeney's record of seventeen years' standing, and then turned around and jumped 6 feet 7 inches, breaking his own record. Of the African brand of jumping, the duke says: "A line, which could be raised or lowered at will, was stretched between two sleeper trees standing on an incline. The duke jumped up to this and jump from a small teem heap a foot in height. Despite these unfavorable conditions, exhibitions were given by Zapallap which would place all European efforts in the shade. The best jumpers—sleender, splendid figures, with an almost Indian profile—attained the incredible height of 2.50 meters (8 feet 5 inches), and young boys made the relatively no less wonderful performance of 1.50 to 1.60 meters (5 feet)." MISS BOYER STILL ILL. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) San Jose, Cal, June 7.—Miss Eliza- beth Boyer is still ill here. Mrs. W. H. Marshall, her sister of 3746 Rhodes avenue, Chicago, reports her some- what better today.

By J. Hockley Smiley. Chicago with its rapidly increasing population of young men and misses is extremely fortunate in several Sunday schools that, by reason of being officered by superintendents of modern ideas are largely attended, and are forcible factors for good in the community. So interesting and alluring has Sunday school instruction become that youth in every stage rather insist upon regular and prompt attendance now, in decided contrast to the constant urging of a generation ago. So decided has been the increased interest that many churches find themselves hampered for room to accommodate the pupils that gather each Sunday afternoon. Bethel Sunday School For many years the Sunday school at this church has led in attendance. So wonderful has been its growth that Mr. R. E. Moore, its superintendent, was compelled to adopt a modern business system for its management. Now with infant, junior, intermediate and senior departments, it flourishes, with competent heads for each department, under one general management. It is self-sustaining financially and has contributed largely to the various other endeavors of the church. Bethel church adds many young married people to its membership every month. The children are placed in the Sunday school and with the growth in years every department of the church is reinforced. St. Thomas' Sunday School. When Father Massier first took charge of the Episcopal church here the place of worship was in the small but much beloved edifice on Dearborn street. When the spacious church at 38th street and Wabash avenue was secured greater stimulus was given to Sunday school work. Now St. Thomas' numbers among its most substantial numbers in the Sunday school. The teaching force in the church is of the best intellect of the church, and the large number that gather there are the pride of the church and the diocese. Many young people of prominence in music, art and the sciences make up the membership of St. Thomas' Sunday school and both the governing board of the church and the off- GRAND MILITARY RECEPTION AND BALL THE stellar attraction during the week of the National Republican Convention will be the grand military ball and reception given in honor of the Negro delegates and visitors by the Eighth Regiment, Illinois National Guard, at the Seventh Regiment Armory, on the evening of June 18.

Twothirds of the liquid remained in the battle, the in- aide of which was discolored and thickly incrusted with sea salt, The bottle was of the same shape aa those used for aerated water at the present time, but the glass was of a deeper greon and slightly heavier. ‘Soda water was invented fn 1767, and the relic was bought by a soda wa- ter manufacturer for advertising pur- poses.

There is a great supply of umber, of which 20 use was made until in 1905 a firm began to export railway sleepers. ‘The population, which a dozen years ago consisted of 20,000 Russian deport- ed convicts, and about half as many free persons, sank to about 6,000 after the Japanese war. ‘The convicts had got their Ifberty on condition they Volunteer for the war.

Everybody stopped talking and looked at the small wooden box which the maid had just taken at the door and brought into the lbrary. “Why queer?” asked Horwatt, {dly. He had just had a very good din- her, and was entirely at peace with the world. “Just a plain box!” Deadrlck looked at Horwatt stern. ly and the whole dinner party caught fis breati.

And you could get him some coffee and sandwiches afterward.” “Assuming, of courao,” sald Dead- rick, “that there was enough of him left to drink the coffee! Haven't 1 heard that they put suspected In- fernal machines in water before open- Ing them?" "Hooray!" sald Horwat®? “To the hath room!" He grabbed one side of the rope handle. Deadrick took the other handle and trailed by all the protesting women and the other men, they marched to the bath room. ‘Tenderly depositing the box in the tub, Deadrick turned on the water. “Turn that off at once and tur on the cold water!” erled bis wife, “You don't know what hot water might do to a bomb! It would cook it or something! 1 told you not to hire Jo- seph in the first place, for I never Uked his nose!" “It is perfectly awful!” sald Mrs. Horwatt. “To think you can't sit peseefully in your own house witb- out being attacked by dangerous an- archists!

A HOT OLD TIME. Little Willie had a way Of picking out a sweltering day To ask some poor old suffering "Jay" "If it was hot enough," but say He struck the wrong gazabo once Who soundly thrashed this little dune Now never more he wonders whether His friends are, suited with the weather. Noticed that tired feeling coming on? It's the ball season. The political pot isn't exactly boiling, but it's sizzling. State street is to have a street fair the early part of the summer. It isn't too early to begin saving your pennies for the Fourth. The usual batch of "misdemeanors" is reported from below the M. & D. line for the month of May. An electrical engineer has invented a car that will run 300 miles an hour, that's what you call going some. Has the iceman mentioned to you that there would be "a customary slight advance?" At present it is impossible to tell who will stampede the convention, but betting is ten to one in favor of the Colonel. The West Michigan resort opens Saturday, June 22, and as the circus posters say, "Bigger, brighter and better than ever." Among the thousands at one of our amusement parks the other night, we had but twenty-four to represent us. Wonderful how attractive State street is. President Taft said: "This is a government of the people, for the people, by a representative part of the people." In other words a popular government in name only. By the will of the late Mr. Astor, Hampton University, Spellman Seminary and Tuskegee are the richer by $105,000, it being divided equally. All three institutions are deserving of any good fortune that may befall them. They are doing a wonderful work and should receive every encouragement and our heartiest support. The University of Chicago is right at our doors, yet how many take advantage of it? We are always crying for higher education, but take the children out of school in the grammar grades or at most in the high school years. The financial side may have something to do with the situation, but there are many who can well afford to give their children every advantage. Education is the secret of all successes. New York is to have a new 55-story skyscraper, as Bert Williams says, "We may be crazy, but we ain't no fool." Chicago's business district with its 18 and 20-story buildings, every inch of which is occupied, looks far more substantial than those freakish chimney-like structures New York boasts of. The building craze is like the auto craze, each man is trying to outdo the other, nothing will stop it until some great calamity happens, when the people will wake up. Some good act, kind deed or racial progress of the Negro must have prompted Mr. Astor to leave $35,000 each to Tuskegee, Hampton and Spellman University. It pays at all times for individuals to be on their good behavior as well as institutions to 'deliver the goods' as it usually results for the best. The race is greatly indebted to this class of white citizens who believe that institutions of the above character are developing full rounded citizens of the highest, moral character. The Post Office Department esti- tes that credulous investors were ided out of $77,000,000 last year through fake investment enterprises. Hundreds of the companies were raided by the authorities and their of fices closed. As it was generally impossible to find any assets, the victim could charge it up to fool experience. Why people will be lured by such schemes is beyond understanding. This city for instance is full of good safe investments, especially in the real estate line, and many of them are published as a magazine printed a burlesque announcement fashioned after the get-rich-quick literature, showing how a goose farm could make a $100 investment return $300,000 in a year, received scores of serious letter asking for further information. Don't be a goose. The International Hotel Workers' Union, which has embarrassed more than two score large hotels and restaurants in New York, by calling out nearly 5,000 waiters and cooks, are willing to arbitrate, but the Hotel Men's Association will not even meet a committee from the union. The waiters in question are white and the outcome is anxiously awaited by the colored men who in times gone by had such positions exclusively. Just why so many places throughout the country changed from colored to white help is a question, prejudice seems to be the general belief, and yet that does not seem entirely plausible. He must have been an ant, and even the rank sortherner believes him a good servant. Perhaps the better element sought better positions in life, leaving such work to inferiors, in such a case their downfall was evident and just. Will the New York hotel managers forced by the strike employ again the colored man? If so, let us hope he will stick. In Leslie's June issue is a story by Reginald Wright Kauffman entitled "Only a Nigger." It is the twenty-ninth installment of a series of stories and articles concerning "the girl that goes wrong" and dealing with the causes of professional and casual immorality in America. We hear much of white slave traffic and it is generally understood as meaning white women alone. The traffic exists among the yellow and the black races quite as much and Mr. Kauffman's story is a pathetic plan for the girl of color who is maligned not because she is naturally bad but because it seems to have been instilled into a certain element that even colored woman is bad. The fight should be against all traffic in the bodies and souls of women, it matters not whether they be white, yellow or black. Our responsibility and our duty are independent of the color of the victims. No Lady Killer. M. Durand de Belleford de Gourny, who a few months ago startled the simple folk of Coutances by appearing in a brilliant uniform covered with decorations and managed to swindle the local tradespeople of hundreds of pounds, cut a sorry figure when he appeared for trial at the aszte court today. His only defence is that he swindled because he wished to create an impression on a woman with whom he was in love. The judge replied: "Don't talk to me of making an impression on the fair sex. You are far to ugly," and then sentenced him to six years imprisonment.—Paris correspondence London Daily Mail Saved the Cat's Life A cat that was sunning itself on a platform before a store in Barclay street suddenly arose, stretched and walked to the exact middle of the street, where it lay down on the wooden pavement, relates the New York Tribune. A truck came rapidly down the street, but the driver saw the sleeping animal and turned his team aside. The cat never so much as wiggled an ear. The first vehicle was followed by a second, the driver again avoiding a fatality. Several wagons passed and the cat still remained unscathed. Then a man who had been watching from the sidewalk, picked a banana peel out of the gutter and threw it at the cat, waking it up and sending it scurrying to a nearby doorstep. "A cat has only nine lives," the man said, "and eight wagons have barely missed running over it. I thought I had better save its last life before the next truck passed." Didn't Get the Present When a three-year-old girl who lives in Twenty-fourth street was advised by her mother that the next day was the day to go to Sunday school, she opened her large, blue eyes wide and rather forlornly remarked, "Every Sunday when they call my name I say 'Present,' but they haven't given it to me yet." In the same Sunday school, not long ago, Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall was teaching the Sunbeam class a lesson on King David, and, endeavoring to see how much of her instruction of the previous Sunday had not been lost, asked: "Who was our lesson about last Sunday?" No answer. "Don't you remember the handsome young man we talked about?" After a few moments one little hand went up. "Well, Mary?" asked Mrs. Marshall. "I don't remember his name," said Mary, "but he was the boy that killed the janitor."-Indianapolis News. Tenth Century Horses. Money values in the tenth century were very low, according to our ideas, but as the purchasing power of money then equaled from eight to twenty times what it is today, one must not hasten a comparison. In Athelstane's time a horse was worth 120 shillings, an ox 30 pence, a cow 20 pence, a sheep 5 pence, a hog 8 pence, a slave 20 shillings, making a slave worth eight oxen, and these prices, except in times of famine, appear to have changed little under the Norman. In 1156 wheat sold at 18 pence the quarter of eight bushels, and in 1243 it brought only 24 pence, but in 1024 seed wheat sold at 3 shillings a bushel, barley at 2 shillings and oats at 1 shilling a bushel.—National Magazine. Old Italian Industry. Old Italian industry. Salt has been manufactured commercially in Italy for more than two thousand five hundred years. THE C From Our Exchanges Cardinal Gibbons urged the following of the Golden Rule in the course of a sermon at St. Barnabas Catholic church Sunday afternoon. He strongly urged the large congregation present, which included the 150 children and 25 adults confirmed in the morning, that the Living of clean lives meant much for their spiritual welfare. His Eminence said that his experience had taught him that there was comparatively little begging among the colored people. The streets around the church were filled with people when the cardinal arrived. He retired for a short time into the parish house at Biddle street and Argyle avenue, where he donned the robes befitting his station in the church. He was His Eminence, Rev. Charles A. Evers, C. R. Uncles of Epiphany Anostle College; Joseph Butch, of St. Joseph's Seminary; Stephen Sweeny, Carl Schappert. The Holy Name Society of the parish acted as an escort. Following the services the Cardinal and the visiting clergymen were entertained at dinner by the Rev. Joseph A. Evers, pastor of the church. Social circles in Washington during the last administration were much exercised at the appearance as a member of the diplomatic corps of H. Paulus Sannon, who is now under arrest in Hayti for conspiring against the government in the interests of the defeated Gen. Simon. Hayti had previously been represented at Washington by a white man, but the president of the black republic was encouraged apparently by the official and personal consideration accorded to Booker T. Washington at the White House, and sent along a minister of shiny blackness. His wife also was "black but comely." The diplomatic corps does not share the American prejudice against the Negro as a social equal, and when the Haytian representative attended the diplomatic dinner at the White House he was treated with every courtesy. His wife was escorted by the Norwegian minister, while he went in with the diplomats to whom no ladies were assigned. The Informer regrets to learn of the downfall of Mr. Sannon, as he was a terrible man, and his wife was an exceptional and highly educated woman. (Vancouver (B. C.) Province) A friendly warning for the, early bathers at English Bay comes from "Joe," otherwise Mr. Joseph Fortes, the official life saver at the Bay. The water is still somewhat chilly, and in the morning between 6 and 7 o'clock, there is danger to swimmers not only from cramp, which is likely to be induced by the coldness of the water, but also from the "spring tides," which, as those acquainted with the sea know, are extra heavy tides with dangerous currents and undertows. Mr. Fortes is usually on the beach early, often beginning his watch at 5 o'clock, but he is not supposed to be there until 7 o'clock, and might not be. The early morning bathers should therefore wait until at least the latter hour. Only this morning "Joe" rescued a woman from drowning, as she was being pulled back and exhausted by the strong tide. She had over-estimated her strength and had he not been down on the beach she would undoubtedly have lost her life. He warns the inexperienced not to attempt to swim to the raft when the tide is full, unless accompanied by older and stronger swimmers. THE EDITOR'S MAIL Mr. R. S. Abbott: I desire to thank you heartily for the article printed in your column a few days ago, concerning the movement in Hyde Park to establish a place to keep the children off the street and a center for our young people. We are already assured of your co-operation by the appearance of that article which was a delightful surprise and also a great help. In spite of the inclement weather there was an appreciative audience to listen to the excellent lecture and advice by our very eminent lawyer, Mr. P. L.

Mr. Harris of Shiloh, Baptist church, and to listen to the encouraging remarks of Mrs. Shepherd and Miss Boas of Wendell Phillips Settlement, the beautiful address of Miss Haynes, also of Wendell Phillips Settlement. Last but not least the chorus as sung by the little folk, and the very high class music furnished by Prof. A. C. Elgar's orchestra.

Thanking you for your kindness, and inviting you to visit us at your home, we remain, respectfully yours, Clothes, we remain, president; Juanta Cooper, secretary.

Pedigree of the Horse Geologists have finally completed distinguished genealogy for the horse. Here is the list, with the geological eras in which each lived, as arranged by Prof. W. N. Rice: The line of descent begins with Hyracotherium and Eophippus of the lower Eocene age. Then follow Protorohippus and Orochippus of the middle Eocene, Ephippus of the upper Eocene, Mesochippus of the Oligocene, Anchitherium of the lower Miocene, Parachippus, Protchippus and Pilchippus of the middle and upper Miocene, and finally Equus of the Pilocene and the Quaternary, from which the modern horse directly descends. Hipparion and Hippidium represented ancient side branches that died without descendants. Life of the Soll The soil may be said to be alive.

Cyclist Chased by Lione Two motor cyclists, Mr. and Mrs. Macdonald, the former a magistrate at Mimba, while returning from the Zomba (Central Africa) coronation ceremonies, were chased for five miles by two lions, which showed no fear of the noise made by the engines, and galloped after the motor cyclists with evident determination to kill them. The lions were finally outdistanced, and the riders, suffering greatly, from nervous strain, reached their home in safety.—Livingstonia News Shoots Wife in White Lady's Home—Mother-in-Law Said to Be Cause of Trouble—Parents of Two Beautiful Children. On last Friday afternoon, about one-thirty o'clock, Benjamin Shanklin of 1648 West Ohio street shot and killed his wife and a few minutes later put the revolver to his head and killed himself. Shanklin and his wife had not been on the best terms for the last two months and because of the existing trouble he became a heavy drinker. The trouble was made worse when the mother-in-law stepped in and sided with her daughter. During the time that Mrs. Shanklin was separated from her husband she lived with Mrs. P. Ganwey, a white woman, who lived in the flat above the Shanklin, Thursday night Mrs. Shanklin spent the night with her mother, Mrs. Dolly Moslay of 3522 Vincentnes avenue. She returned to her Ohio street home and found that her husband was under the influence of liquor. She did not hesitate but went immediately to her room with Mrs. Ganwey. Ben, as he is known, called for her several times but she would not respond. He finally went to a saloon on the corner of Erie and Paulina streets and on the way there he met Officer Albert Kupps, and to him he told the details of his troubles, naming Mrs. Moslay as the cause. Officer Kupps advised Shanklin to see a judge and to follow out the advice of the judge. After lingering in the saloon for a few minutes Ben returned home, put on a clean shirt and collar, and came out on the street again. He returned home a second time, pulled off his coat and hat, put his revolver in a inside pocket, and went up to Mrs. Ganwey's flat, that his wife, and a quarrel dissuaded. She saw the revolver and tried to take it from him. A tussle started. Mrs. Ganwey, fearing trouble, ran to the phone to call the police, and while at the phone she heard four shots fired and someone fall. She made a hasty retreat out the front door. Officer Kupps, who was still standing at the corner of Erie and Paulinia streets, hastened to the scene of shooting and saw Shanklin through the window on the second floor with the revolver to his head. "Wait a minute, Pan," he called to Shanklin. The officer ran up the steps and finding the door locked he broke it in, but just at that moment Shanklin pulled the trigger and fell in the officer's arms. Other officers were soon on the scene and Mrs. Shanklin was found on the third floor, in Mrs. Ganwy's home, dead, with four bullet wounds in the body. The two bodies were carried to Jones Undertaking Company, 1904 Lake street, where an inquest was held. It was learned at the inquest that O'Neal's undertaking establishment refused the bodies, for no other reason save that they were black. Mr. and Mrs. Shanklin leave behind two little children to suffer from this injury. Mr. Shanklin was a railroad porter and well thought of by many. Mrs. Shanklin was a fine little woman but she was ruled too much by the dictates of her mother, which enraged her husband. The body of Mrs. Shanklin was laid to rest at Graceland, while that of Mr. Shanklin was shipped to his mother and father at Ullie, Ill. Island of Walcheren. It is quite worth while to stay a few days at Flushing, when landing from England, thoroughly to inspect the island of Walcheren. The island itself (says the "Autocar") is a most beautiful corner of Holland, possesses two important towns, well worth seeling, and is particularly rich in costume, unfortunately dying out in so many parts of the country. Some parts of Flushing are very old, as it was a strongly fortified port in days gone by—the headquarters of the Dutch fleet. It was from this town that Admiral de Ruyter, a native of Flushing, defeated the English fleet off the Thames in 1667, and advanced up the river toward London, creating a desperate panic among its inhabitants. The Dutch people are very proud of their admiral, and possess almost as many statues and pictures of him as we do of Nelson. The country is purely agricultural, and as the farmers go in for dairy farming a good deal, one sees numbers of spotlessly clean black and white cows everywhere, generally left in charge of a small boy, or two or three little girls in charming white caps, and quaint, much gathered black frocks. Not to Englishmade Liking Not to Englishman's liking. Ridiculous was the duel General Israel Putnam arranged when challenged by an English officer. The general was to provide weapons. Arrived at the spot selected, the Englishmen found "Old Put" serenely smoked by the side of an open powder keg, into which he had stuck a match. Requesting his antagonist to be seated on the other side of the keg, General Putnam lighted the match and smoked on unconcernedly. The Englishman for a moment watched the lucifer working its way downward, then beat a hurried retreat. The keg contained nothing but onions with a sprinkle of powder on top. Sewera In Berlin.

Suq. 10-5 Great Artist Poorly Bald The report from New York of the sale of the two famous portraits by Velasquez, the one of Philip (V. and the other of his minister, the Grand Duke Olivarez, brings to light he interesting fact that he received "in account" the sum of eight hundred reals (£8) for these and one of Senor Garchperes. At very much the same time Van Dyck, despite a highly successful time in northern Italy, was finding to his cost that Antwerp, his bird place, had little liking for his genius. In fact, we find him stating that at one time he had a "certain fat brewer as his only patron." And even that patron failed him, because when it came to a matter of remuneration the brewer's greed shrank from an extortionate payment of two pistoles for the painting of one portrait! —T. P.'s Weekly. Found His Place Two New England men were talking over the days of their boyhood when one referred to an old schoolmate who had a most unfortunate disposition. "I often wonder what became of Dick," said his friend. "It always seemed to me that it wouldn't be possible for him to get any enjoyment out of life or to find any sort of work that suited him." "Oh, he's fixed all right," said the other man. "I saw him in Chicago last year, where he has a job that suits him perfectly. He is station master in a place where there are fifty trains a day coming and going, and Dick sees somebody miss every one of them." The Japanese Coal Supply The Japanese Coal Supply.

Perhaps the most interesting, surely the most exquisite, house of prayer in the world is the Little Temple of the Lord's Prayer in Palestine, erected on the spot where it is believed the Savior taught his prayer to the disciples. The little temple is of pure white marble, with simple straight lines, distinctly unlike the architecture of the Orient. "Our Father which art in heaven" in every known language is carved on the walls and columns, and is the only decoration of this supremely lovely place.

The Puritans destroyed many collections of books in the monasteries, and even Cromwell burned the Oxford library, then one of the finest in Europe. Extremists in revolution, as in religion, have been equally destructive as regards books. The Spanish inquisition and the French revolution were as one in this respect. The crusaders were destroyers of what they regarded as heretical books, and in Russia today the war of orthodoxy on sectarian dissent still manifests itself, among other things, in the ruthless destruction of the books of the non-conformists.

The fast Grace team took the lead in the southern division of the Presbyterian league last Saturday at Washington Park when they won a hard fought game from Hope by a score of 7 to 5. "Tim" Reeves, on the slab for the losers, was hit hard from the first, and had a hard time keeping the champions from chasing him from the box; but with the help of his teammates, who gave him good support, Reeves was able to hold down the score. Baker worked against Reeves and the former had to work, too, in order to get the verdict. Baker was good in pinches and that's why he came out with colors flying. The champions not only gave the winning pitcher superb support but batted the ball at a high average. Notwithstanding counter attractions a multitude was out to see the first of the series of games between these strong clubs. The Grace team will travel to Ogden Park, 64th and Center avenue, to meet Second U. P. in the first game of a series Saturday afternoon, June 8. The score: Hope 1 0 0 0 0 3 0 1 1 0-5 Graco 1 3 1 0 0 2 0 1 0 *-7 Emergencies Beat Thompson's Colts. One of the most interesting as well as exciting games ever played between the Emergencies, captained by Julius N. Avendorch and the Thompson Colts, captained by Louis Thompson, was played on Decoration Day at Washington Park. The rivalry which for years has been so bitter, though friendly, between these two teams caused rioting to be overlooked that would give either an advantage over the other. The score was 9 to 6. The line-up was as follows: Emergencies—Washington, pitcher, W. Williams, catcher, Haddock, first base; M. Williams, second base; Avendorph, third base; Hill, shortstop; S. Thompson, left field; Oglesby, center field; Vene, right field. Colts—Rivers, pitcher; Settles, catcher; Harsh, first base; L. Thompson, second base; Tobias, third base; Wooten, shortstop; Watkins, left field; Smith, center field; Tobin, right field. Score: Emergencies . . . 0 0 2 0 2 2 0 3 * - 9 Colts . . . 0 0 2 0 2 2 0 0 - 6 Notes of the Game. Charley Settles, the frisky little colt who has his friends all thinking his smile would not come off, ought to have seen him on Decoration Day. He smiled and smiled but it finally wore off; and really it was distressing to look at that face when poor little Charley saw defeat looking him in the eyes. He may be a ball player some day. If Willie Harsh was as proficient in ball playing as he is in trying to out talk both captains of two ball teams he would be a wonder, but alas, poor Willie has a lot to learn about the game. Dear little Farrell Jones was somewhat reluctant about declaring himself, but he finally got into the band wagon with all the rest of the emergency rooters. Manicuring is becoming popular between innings at Washington Park among the girl rooters; oh, dear. Well, well, it is not often you hear of a man becoming disgusted with himself but believe me when he does he is disgusted beyond all redemption. That was the case with our little frisky friend Caldwell Watkins, who attempted to play center field for the Colts, but quit before the game was half over, in disgust. He took the ball field for a stage evidently, because that boy proved himself some contortionist. His feet and hands get so badly mixed that its wonderful how on earth he ever gets straightened out again. He is the hiltess wonder. Lee Tobin—evidently that young man has been accidently hit with a baseball bat at some time in his life, and the effects of it has left the young man partly demented, as he really believes he can play ball. Why he has absolutely no mercy on the air, and the way he pounded it on Decoration Day was pitiful. It was finally explained that he was accidently hit, as no one would intentionally hit him with a bat knowing what an effect it would have. Don't you know, there's something strange about Louis Thompson, he is rather a heartless young fellow, too, though his friends were under the impression that he had a good deal of sentiment in his make-up; but the way he chased the air Decoration Day it was an evidence of his heartlessness. That kind of heartlessness is not always the fault of the individual. Of all the amusing features of the game Melvill, Mitchell was the worst; he came out to the game looking like an advertisement for a jersey house, expecting to play ball, but when he approached the captain of the Colts, to find out what position he would play, he was told he would play right where he was, meaning on the side line, and it was finally decided to let him keep score, and that he made a failure of; poor boy. --- COLORED YOUTH LIEUTENANT- COLONEL. In Boston on Decoration Day morning the High School cadets had their annual parade. As the Third regiment of School Cadets, made up of fifteen companies from the English High, passed in review Malcolm C. Banks colored, was second in command, having the rank of lieutenant-colonel. Young Banks bigan the drill year as lieutenant in company G, of which James Ratta (white) was captain. Some months ago Ratta had to leave school through sickness and Banka was elected to his place. During the annual drill of the English High School the company in command of Banks was one of the prizewinners, Capt. Drew's score being 519 and "Capt. Banks" 506. Therefore head master Casey, according to the rules of promotion, made Drew colonel and Banks lieutenant-colonel. Mr. Banks is the first colored youth ever win so high a rank in the school regiments. They have been known to have won white flags and medal in the drills, but never at any time before to win regimental honors. John B. Taylor's Record Broken. Saturday in Philadelphia C. S. Reidpath (white) of Syracuse, in the intercollegiate games ran the quarter mile event in 48 seconds, setting a new record and also beating the record of the late John B. Taylor, the world's famous negro athlete whose record of 0.48 2-5 was made at Franklin Field in 1907. Mr. Taylor, we well remember, represented the U. S. in Olympic meet at London and stuck with the members of the U. S. team when they refused to run the 440-yard run over. Mr. Taylor died a few years ago from pneumonia contracted while training. Mr. Cable There Again. Saturday at Franklin Field Mr. T. Cable of Harvard beat all his own records, and came within two feet of establishing a new record in the great eastern track classic which attracted the eyes of all university athletes in the country by throwing the 16-pound hammer 162 feet $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches. H. E. Marden and A. H. Tilley, both of Dartmouth, who declared they were in form to beat the negro, only made 157 feet 7 inches and 155 feet 7 inches. Mr. Cable's performance put Harvard in a tie with Columbia for fourth place and beating Yale, their rival, by 3 points. Mr. Pollard and Mr. Blueitt. For the last three track meets Lane Tech has entered they have come out on top twice and second once. Saturday they won the Cook county high school championship, beating their nearest rival by 27 1-3 points. Lane's success is due to the fine form of Mr. Pollard and Mr. Blueitt, two young colored athletes, who more than once in the past two years have set the colors of the green and gold far above the other. Saturday Mr. Blueitt took fourth in the shot put; second in 440-yard run; second in the 220-yard dash; and run with the Lane relay team which lowered the Cook county high school record for 880 yards, making a new record of 1:34 3-5. Mr. Pollard was first in the 220- yard low hurdles and fifth in the 880- yard run. Mr. Pollard was the mainstay of the football team last year and won many games for the green and gold team by kicking ability and all around work. Another Winner. At the Harvard interscholastic games Irving Howe, the fast colored athlete of the Boston English High school, won the 440-yard race in 50 45 seconds, being pushed by Kelly of Exeter. Of the 11 starters Howe drew a bad position and at the half way point was setting the pace, but fifty yards from the tape Kelly made an attempt to get on even terms with the flying Howe but the colored lad came back with a corresponding sprint which landed him winner by a yard. Capt. H, Drew in a Matched Race. The greatest disappointment in the Harvard interscholastic games was caused by the non-appearance of Capt. Harry Drew of Springfield High in the 200-yard dash. Mr. Drew was not allowed to compete on account of his age and not his color, as there is an age limit set for Harvard meet. Drew is probably the fastest colored lad who ever wore a spiked shoe, having traveled the century in 9 4-5 seconds in a dead heat with Rice of Powder Point. The record will not stand as the wind was at their back, but the two are to run a match race the first Saturday in June during the temperance convention at Uxbury. Close followers of the sport are looking for the dark skinned youth to breast the tape before his fair rival. The American Giants set a record Saturday at Gunther park by beating the West Ends 22 to 7 in less than two hours. Barber was the only man not credited with a hit. The baseball writers are urging the national commission to pass a rule prohibiting major league teams from playing exhibition games with minor teams during the season since the New York team had some trouble at Paterson, N. J. The real cause of the trouble was Drucke was pitching and the fastest Negro ball team in this country was about to beat him, so the major league champs left town. Next day the New York papers claimed the umpire would not allow Drucke to spat on the new ball and rub it in the grass and that Drucke insisted and so there you are. Some excuse, eh? The Chinese ball team, although beaten by Fordham to 3, held the fast college team to 6 hits. Meyers, the Indian backstop of the Glants, although not given credit of being a college ball player, comes from Dartmouth, but was ineligible to play. CURIOS FOR THE CHILDREN One Room in Smithsonian Institution Filled With Objects of Interest to Young Folk. Among the dim old rooms of the Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, is one very bright and cheery apartment, over the archway of which are the words "Children's Room." Here there are arranged all sorts of natural objects in which boys and girls are interested, such curious things as min- eral wool, flexible sandstone, land- scape marbles, a model of the Great Mogul, the largest diamond ever cut and another of the largest lump of gold ever found. In another case are the strange glove and finger sponges and the Venus flower basket, and over a case of beautiful shells is one of iridescent and brightly hued butterflies. How creatures hide is illustrated by "walking leaves," the night hawk crown creepers, "walking stick" and other queer creatures that are scarce to be detected because of their clever adherence to leaves, twigs and other objects of similar coloring.

HEALTH TALK FOR CITIZENS—SWAT THAT FLY When Nature does her best to make our surroundings bright and beautiful, we should certainly do all we can to help her. In other words, when the grass is green and flowers are blooming, when the trees are in full leaf and all outdoors is inviting us to come and have a good time, it is right and proper that we should keep our immediate surroundings in harmony with Nature's general plan of brightness and beauty. Hardly necessary, is it, to speak of those fly screens? If course, you have had them in long ago. But how about that near-by manure pile? If you know of one, send your complaint to the Department of Health and an effort will be made to have the offending nuisance removed. If you are interested in having a good, safe milk supply, talk to your alderman about it. Ask him how he is going to vote on the ordinance now pending before the council committee on health. The babies of Chicago have the right to live. Thousands of them are dependent on cows' milk. If the milk the babies get is clean and pure the babies will live. If it is dirty and laden with the germs of disease they will die. The ordinance the Commissioner of Health is seeking to have passed has for its purpose the securing of a safe milk for the babies. Are you with the babies? If so, ask your alderman to vote for the ordinance. Keep your eye on the near-by vacant lot and don't allow it to be used as a neighborhood dumping ground.

WALTON ON BIRDS' SONGS Famous, Author of "The Compleat Angler" Appreciated Music of His Feathered Friends. At first the lark, when she means to rejoice, to cheer herself, and those that hear her, she then quits the earth and sings as she ascends higher into the air; and having ended her heavenly employment, grows then mute and sad, to think she must descend to the dull earth, which she would not touch but for necessity. Now do the blackbird and the throsel, with their melodious voices, bid welcome to the cheerful spring, and in their fixed mouths warble forth such ditties as no art or instrument can reach to. Nay, the smaller birds do the as in their particular seasons; as like, namely, the laverock, the tillark, the little linnet and the honest robin, that loves mankind, both alive and dead. But the nightingale, another of my air creatures, breathes such sweet, loud music out of her little instrumental throat that it might make mankind think miracles are not ceased. He that at midnight, when the very laborer sleeps securely, should hear—as I have very often—the clear airs, the sweet descants, the natural rising and falling, the doubling and redoubling of her voice, might well be lifted above earth and say: "Lord, what music hast thou provided for the saints in heaven, when thou affordest to bad men such music upon earth!"—Izaak Walton's "The Compleat Angler." TENDERNESS TO THE AGED Those In Their Helpless Years Should Be Treated With Kind and Gentle Regard. Nothing is more beautiful or Christ-like In the character of the young woman than a kind and gentle regard for the old. They whose falling steps are slowly descending the sunless slope of age have but one consolation as the years speed by them, and that is the tenderness and consideration of those on whose lives the beauties of the morning are breaking. Age is a season of physical infirmity, of mental retrospection, of shattered dreams and earthly disappointments. No more for the old is there a glimmer in the rolling stars, no more freshness in the spring, no more a triumph in the years. The thousand melodies of the present sound far off to their aged ears and its charms are blurred in the ears and eyes whose tears fall on the graves of old affections. Treat them gently, for their travail and their sacrifice are yet the possessors not only of existence in the world in whose splendors ye exult, but also for the prosperity and happiness we thoughtlessly enjoy. Never mind if she or he be old and feeble and of humble garb—they look to you in their helpless years to aid with gentle courtesy their tottering steps.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER --- His Work Has Been Beneficial to Washington. Former Rockiester Player Not Thought Good Enough for New York Giants Has Proven Tower of Strength for Griffith. There are innumerable instances where good ball players have been let out by one major league club only to become stars for another after a little experience in a minor league. Eddie Foster is one of these. The question is often asked how Foster came to get away from New York. That club sent him to Rochester with the agreement that it would have the pick of the team in the fall. It is said that John Ganzel, the manager of that club, gave it as his opinion that Foster would not be of any help to his team, and he then consented to the sale of Foster to Washington, a deal which he undoubtedly has had reason to regret. Maurice Rath furnishes another instance of where a good ball player was allowed to slip through the hapls of two major league clubs and is now making good for the White Sox with a vengeance. Philadelphia and Cleveland both had Rath, but he made good for neither because he was not played at the position where he belonged. They tried him at third and he failed, while he appears to be a wonderfully clever player at second. What a wonderful difference the addition of one man can make in a ball team is proved in the case of Foster. While of course there have been many other changes in the make-up of the Nationals since last season, none of these appears to have been as beneficial to the team as the acquisition of Foster. He has filled a place where the team, has always been weak and by his clever work at the bat has filled even a greater gap. To Foster belongs the credit for most of the victories the Nationals have earned this spring. When he has not taken a part in the offensive end of the game he has prevented disaster by his remarkable fielding around third base. With a player less capable than he covering that position, it can be easily figured that three or four of the games which have been won would have been defeats. On what he has shown this spring Foster is a remarkably clever ball player in every respect. One wonders that a man of his ability should have spent so long a time in the minor i Eddie Foster. leagues. Few third basemen have shown themselves in the same class with the little fellow, nor does it seem reasonable to suppose that his showing has been a flash in the pan, for he is keeping up his good work at a consistent rate. Art of Stealing Bases: "Stealing bases is not for the fact of stealing bases alone" said Fred Clarke in discussing the running ax of baseball. "It is a double-headed ax that works for or against you two ways. The fast man who steals bases not only advances himself toward the plate, but he unsteadies an opposing pitcher more or less and often helps the man who follows him to a base on balls. Stealing bases may bring bases on balls, bad throws and other fortunate points to your side, but the attempt may waste a run for you and cost the game." Demarco Wins Again Another thirteen-inning game was played in the Southern league, this one in Mobile, and it was won by the Gulls from Chattanooga, with Demaree pitching. In thirteen innings he allowed five hits. Chapelle pitched a good game for the Lookouts. If Cincinnati Wins Pennant. "What would happen in this town if the Reds should happen to win the pennant?" asked one Cincinnati bug. "They'd have to put a rubber roof on Longview," answered his friend between frantic cheers. Speed of Cincinnati Beds The Cincinnati Reds have shown a big improvement in base running and this is in a great measure responsible for their sensational work. They have much natural speed and Manager Hank O'Day is making the most of this. Manager Dahlen declares that since he received that bump from President Lynch he has not spoken above a whisper, and that all irregular words have been eliminated from his vocabulary. of Trimmed and Untrimmed Hats During the month of June MISS M.

"Yes—yes!" cried the woman eagerly, "that's Mrs. Autoway! I knew it! She was in an automobile accident!

The last half of the week beginning Thursday, May 30, contained Marsh Craig, the great contortionist, one of the wonders of the age; William Robinson, late of Cooper and Robinson, finished the week, delighting the audiences as he did in the first half of the week. Inez Baird and company in Uno Clayton's dramatic comedy were fine. Lizzie Hart concluded her very successful week, scoring heavily singing "All Night Long," Coakley, Harvey and Dunleoy, "The Town Hall Minstrels," were down on the bill, but did not appear, but the extra that filled their number was more than satisfying. The first half of the week beginning Monday, June 6, presented for the public's amusement Julian and Dyer, comic acrobats in many laughable stunts, which were very good, Laughing Lew Lemar has an excellent stage laugh and made a good impression on the public. George Paul and company in the playlet, "Labor and the Man," gave the greatest satisfaction; every actor tried to do his best. Mr. Paul showing marked ability. "The Four Brass Men," Simpson, Debroite, Williams and Jones, rendered some excellent music and would be a dandy act but that the faces of three of the performers look like "death heads," not a smile is given the audience even at their most vociferous applause and everyone knows that a smile will win and a frown lose every time. So boys take the hint and give a smile, even though you feel sulky. Berg and Bailey in presenting Johnny Fogarty and company in a musical comedy "The Manicure Maidens," hit the nail on the head. For no better one act musical has been at the Grand lately. Fogarty has been principal comedian with several large musical fares and is as funny as his make up. Their act in many ways shows originality and each appearance was greeted with much applause. 100 The Monogram. Miss Fannie Wise is sharing the honors with other good acts on the bill. Fannie always has good songs for the patrons and delivers them in a most pleasing manner. Brown and Shelton are AI as is demonstrated by their work. Brown and Shelton also have some good comedy and music. And the two Mays, or as the gentleman is called, "String Beans," is simply cleaning up. The gentleman is doing some piano playing and singing which leaves the house screaming. Umbrian Glee Club. A feast of music sufficient to delight the most fastidious was rendered Wednesday evening, June 5, at Quinn chapel by the Umbrians. The club, under the proficient directorship of Prof. Pedro T. Tinsley, gave one of the best programs they have ever attempted. In every particular the singing of this worthy club has improved. It was a pleasure to listen to the legato and declamatory style of their work. "The Lost Chord" by Sullivan was given in a most beautiful style of legato, and the round flowing voice necessary for this part of vocal art is being given strict attention and showing excellent results. The declamatory style was splendidly demonstrated in "The Sword of Ferrara," and was ably worked out by the boys. A descriptive number, "Father's Lullaby," was thoroughly enjoyed and gave Arthur Brown (better known as Bishop) an opportunity to display his sonorous base voice in speaking as well as in singing. "The Legend of the Rhine" was another fine number by the club and in this the art of singing was well delivered. The allegro expression was nicely handled in the "Winter Song" by Bullard. In fact each number given by the club was well phrased and expressed. Assisting the club were Madame Anita Patti Brown, whose large, brilliant soprano filled every nook and corner of the vast edifice. Madam Brown's voice as well as her appearance is a delight. Her voice is a flexible soprano with considerable dramatic power and her tones are limpid and resonant. The madam's first number sang in Italian, "Worna Vincitor," from "Aida," was so well given and only a better ledge of the language in which lia is used will enable the proper ation and that will procure the her focused tone. In the num- dian Bell Song," from the Lak- madame Brown was fine, every tone was clear and sweet and her trills and cadenzas were most musical. Great possibilities are in store for this singer if a little more, time is given to the study of the middle register (which by the way is the "bug bear" of most every soprano) and a closer application to the understanding of languages. And may every success be the result of her persistent endeavors. Mrs. L. B. Smith, as a reader, was very good; she lacks the voice however to make her great, but her magnetism and graciousness goes ar to make up the difference. As we accompany for Madame Brown's los she showed marked ability. Rob- M. Shelby in a madison solo was not, only did he play a solo but attached every harmonic cord as well as the piano accompaniment on his mandolin, a most difficult and seldom attempted phase of art, as the neck of the instrument is so small and the frets so close together that it is almost impossible to make more than two or three parts of harmony. But Mr. Shelby made four parts with remarkable clarity. The Mandolin and Guitar club handled some good music, but spoiled all by a seeming disregard of time and affiliation. A little more study, men, you have the ability and it only needs sincere work to make of you what you desire to be. The Umbrians are a club deserving of our most thorough approval, and we trust that the good work they are doing now under Prof. Tinsley will be the incentive to greater and even more studious work. Miss Gertrude Jackson and Theodore Taylor were at the organ and piano respectively. "THE KLEPTOMANIAC" IN THE AID OF CHARITY. A Company of Young Ladies Act for a Worthy Cause and Display Considerable Ability. Wednesday evening, May 29, at Union Masonic hall, the Volunteer Workers' club, composed of young ladies, gave a very entertaining drama, "The Kleptomaniac," for the benefit of charity. This entertainment was very well attended and was quite a success, although many who bought tickets did not go on account of the unsettled weather. These young ladies rendered a very nice program for amateurs at stage work, Miss Hester E. Webster, one of Chicago's young public school teachers, exhibited much talent and dexterity in her part as Mrs. John Burton ("Peggy"). She was both dramatic and histrional as the occasion required, on account of the loss of her "engagement ring," with apparently no concern for the $100 which "The Kleptoanamic" had taken at the same time, Miss Virginia E. Galines, Miss Alice E. Andrews, Miss Geraldyne Hodges, Miss Lavinia Jordan, Miss Ethel Bowens and Miss Gladys Jackson deserve much credit for the activity and ability displayed in their parts. It is hoped that these young ladies may decide to continue along this line of worthy work for charity and that they receive the encouragement and hearty support of the public. Mrs. Irene Howard Board, the proficient cornetist, rendered a selection which was enthusiastically encored. LOW TONES ARE A SEDATIVE Pitch the Voice Deep When Under Nervous Tension and Self-Control Is Gained. An excellent sedative for nervous excitement is found in using the voice at its lowest comfortable key. Immediate relief from stuttering is often obtained by dropping the voice from a high pitch to a lower tone. Teachers whose pupils become restless and unruly as they themselves grow tired and nervous will find that a low pitched, quiet tone will relieve their own nervous tension, and prove wonderfully quieting to their pupils. This simple expedient is also useful when you are trying to control or prevent weeping. There are times when a person fears to talk lest he break down and cry, yet must answer a question or carry on a conversation Again, the deep lower tones of the voice, joined to slow, deep breathing, come to the rescue, and self-control is gained. In any situation where one must struggle for self-possession, the low-pitched voice, with its impression of polite and self-confidence, is a wonderful aid. Even under ordinary circumstances the lower register of the speaks voice is richer and more musical—Youth's Companion. MAORI GETS BRAVERY MEDAL Australian Prisoner Rewarded for Saving the Life of Trooper Who Had Arrested Him. For the first time since its institution says the London Daily Graphic, the Albert medal has been awarded to a Maori for gallantry in saving life, and the circumstances connected with this heroic act are so extraordinary that they are worth giving in full. The recipient of the medal is an aboriginal native of the Roper River, Australia, named Neighbour, and the story of his brave act is given in the London Gazette in the notice announcing that the king has conferred the medal upon him. On February 1, 1911, Neighbour, who had been placed under arrest, was being conveyed to the Roper River police station by a trooper of the police force named Johns. The Wilton river, which was found to be in full flood, had to be crossed, and Johns, who was on horseback, and was holding in his hand the neck chain by which Neighbour was secured, set the prisoner to swim in front of him, while he followed. The horse got into difficulties in mid-stream, and before the trooper could clear himself he was kicked in the face by the animal and carried off by the current. Neighbour, instead of using the opportunity of making his escape, went to Johns' assistance and brought him ashore with great difficulty and at the risk of his own life. Irresistible.

THREE BIG SHIPS HELD BY ONE COOK Steamers Brazos, Comanche and Comal, Were All Late in Getting Away. OILER STARTS SCRAP He Hit the Man Who Prepared the Food and Two Labor Uniones Were Then Involved Which Delayed Sailings Several Hours. New York.—A cook of the steamer Brazos made an effort to defend himself the other afternoon against the charges of an oiler of the Firemen's union that he did not know how to cook. The last argument of men of the sea, coastwise or otherwise, is a scrap, and the oiler and the fireman had it. The cook got the worst of it and the skipper of the Brazos decided to leave the fireman behind. The fireman appealed to his union, and all hands on three ships under the same management, the Brazos, the Comanche and the Comal, decided to back up the aggressive fireman. They said the cooks had not been treating any of them proverbly anyhow. The Comanche was the only ship that got out of dock at the foot of Spring street with all her force of eighteen firemen. They refused, however, to work until they received assurances that the oiler would be taken back. She sailed promptly at 1 p. m. and got as far as Liberty Island. The skipper told of his plight by wireless and H. H. Raymond, head of the line, got busy trying to straighten out the trouble. The Atlantic Coast Seamen's union, which has general control of the subsidiary unions of coastwise seaworkers, also got in the game, having a contract with the lines to furnish firemen who would stick. The firemen of the Brazos and the Comal deserted their ships at the pier and stood by awaiting the result of negotiations between the representatives of the unions and Mr. Raymond. A The Cook Got the Worst of it. who had volunteered to arbitrate the trouble. A tug with Marine Superintendent Rockwell went down to the Comanche, whose firemen had an independent grievance against a cook on their ship, and there was an earnest talk between the union representatives, Mr. Rockwell, the skipper of the ship, and the aggrieved firemen. Mr. Raymond wanted to get the three boats away, with their passengers and freight, and finally did after they had been held up more than four hours. The oler was taken back pending investigation of the case against the cook. The cook's union will make an effort to adjust its troubles with the firemen's union meanwhile. Count as Master of Kennels: Pueblo, Colo.—Pueblo is probably the only city in the country which can boast of a member of the nobility for a dog handler. Count Von Bulow of Germany, well known in many sections of the United States and particularly in this city, who returned here a short time ago strictly "on his upers," has just been tendered the position of master of the kennels in Pueblo. During the last four or five years Von Bulow, claiming to be a real count, has been identified with some remarkable performances of various descriptions. His most noteworthy accomplishment occurred three years ago when, it is alleged, he persuaded a Pueblo woman, Mrs. Christina Pfummer, who had $300,000 in the bank, to marry him. Von Bulow, it is said, spent the money, his wife deserted him, then died, and he is back in Pueblo after an absence of two years.

White's Pacific Coast Summer Excursion THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN Morand Lake, a Beautiful View on Mr. C. T. White's Pacific Coast Summer Excursion If you are a married woman, and were asked to tell just what you were worth in hard cash to your husband, what figure would you name? The question is not a fanciful one by any means, but has been a subject of judicial consideration. It was this way: The wife of an Iowa farmer bought a gallon of what purported to be kerosene, but which was afterward shown to be 21 per cent. gasoline. When the woman used some of it to start a fire with the stuff exploded, and she was burnt to death and her three children were seriously injured. The woman's husband sued the dealers for damages, and the jury awarded him $25 for the loss of his wife and $299.71 per child on account of injuries. The defendants evidently thought that a woman was not worth $25, for they took an appeal from the verdict. The learned court, however, declined to look at it in that light, and the judgment was affirmed—New York Mall. Lakes in Colorado, Nature in WHEN WALKING WITH LADIES Nearly Every Country Has Its Own Ideas as to Place of Male Escort. Almost every country has its own fashions for men who walk with ladies on the public streets. In America and in England we walk on the side of the lady that is nearer the street. Many years ago when the streets were not kept as clean as they are now, any person walking on the outer edge of the pavements was likely to get well splashed with mud and rainwater, and that is why the gentlemen took that side, so as to save the ladies' fine clothes. In some countries it is considered better for the gentleman to keep nearer the middle of the pavement in order to preserve the lady from jostling of persons going in the opposite direction in a crowded street. When it is the rule for every one to keep to the right those who are on the left of the two passing streams are continually being bumped into. In Germany the gentleman always keep on the same side of the lady, no matter which side of the street they may be on or which way they are going. --- How to Become a Neurasthenic. Eat no breakfast.

There was anger and venom in his tone and Algernon looked round nervously. "Remember, sir, that I—I—" "Listen!" broke in her father with a snail. "Twenty years ago your father practically ruined me. I swore a vow that I would take vengeance. And now the chance I have longed for is come!" "But, sir," quavered Algernon, "be merciful—" "I will not!" thundered the old man. "I will have no mercy! I will strike at the father through the son! You want my daughter? Well, then, take her—take her!"

When sending a stamp in a letter, instead of molesting one corner and sticking it to the paper, molest a small spot in the center of the stamp and then affix it to your letter. The removal of a small part of the adhesive substance from the center in no way impairs the usefulness of the stamp; whereas it is often torn if the corner is fastened. Proved Harmlessness of Comets.

It is interesting to know just why a spade is called a spade, and just where certain names originated. The word buttery and butler's pantry, came from two French words, the "botelerie" was the wine closet and a "panterl" was where the bread and cakes were kept, and the custodian of the wine was the "boteler." Later the words were perverted into butter and pantry, and finally joined into butler's pantry.

CHEERING IN THE COMMONS Various Kinds of Applause That Are to be Heard in the British Lower House. The giving of applause in the British house of commons has attained the dignity of a science. A cheer from a single member is not infrequent, but has little significance unless it comes from an important personage. It is cheering in chorus that constitutes the British demonstration. The tone of the cheering varies according to the temper of those who cheer. First, there is the hearty, full-voiced cheer of genuine approval, resounding, awakening the echoes and full of encouragement. Next comes the low, subdued cheer, gradually spreading along all the benches, indicating the deep-seated agreement that does not seek voiciferous or hilarious expression. This is employed either on solemn occasions or in moments of pathos or in acknowledgment of some confession on the part of an opponent. Ironical cheering is often heard in the commons. The tone of sarcasm is always unmistakable. Often it is the greeting accorded to an argument or a statement by an opponent, for the formal denying of which there may not be an opportunity. It is hostile but frequently good natured enough. As an intensification of this there is the sarcastic cheer, far sharper and more inclusive. Mingled with laughter, it is, from the British standpoint, as disconcerting to the speaker as anything may well be. Too Much Is Enough. "Don't you want to join in and reform public affairs?" "Law, no!" replied the quiet woman. "I've had trouble enough reforming one man, let alone a whole political party." NOTED FLORIDA CITY St. Augustine Was Once an Indian Village. First Colony Established by French Huguenots in 1564 Wau Razed by the Spaniards and Its Inhabitants Killed. St. Augustine, Fla.—Four centuries ago an Indian town known as Seloy stood on the site of what is now St. Augustine. On Easter Sunday, 1512, Ponce de Leon, Spanish explorer, landed there in search of the "Fountain of Youth." After he and his men had floundered through the sandy swamps of the vicinity and tramped among the scrub palmetto, bathed in every stream, pool and mudhole they came across, without success, they reembarked and the Indian village remained unmolested by white men for more than fifty years. A colony of French Huguenots landed at the same point in 1564, but soon moved on to the St. John's river. The news of their arrival reached Philip II. of Spain, and upon realizing the full import of the message—that a colony of Protestants was settling in his new world domain—he dispatched Pedro Menendez to extirmate them. This second group of Invading Spaniards landed at the same Indian village on August 25, 1565, and because that was St. Augustine's day on the church calendar they gave the place its present name. St. Augustine is consequently the oldest permanent settlement of Europeans within the territory of the United States. The Huguenot settlement was not permanent for the reason that Menendez and his men destroyed their fort and massacred the Inhabitants. The first fort was built in octagonal form and was constructed of the trunks of pine trees. It was named San Juan de Pinos (St. John of the City Gates, St. Augustine. Pine). An engraving of the fort shows it was in this shape when Sir Francis Drake attacked St. Augustine in 1586. The fort was again attacked in 1655 by John Davis, freebooter and buccaneer. The people fled to the woods while Davis plaged the town. Later the fort was rebuilt and named Fort Marion, now the property of the federal government and maintained chiefly as an interesting antique. Thousands, of persons visit it annually. In its early life St. Augustine was the most cosmopolitan city in the land and all because of a mixed colony of Minorcans, Italians, Greeks and natives of southern European countries brought to the state in 1769 as laborers for an indigo plantation owned by English capitalists. They settled in New Smyrna, but soon rebelled against their English employers. That probably was the first organized labor strike in North America. Moving to St. Augustine, where they were allotted land and given protection, the indigo plantation workers intermarried with the Spanish and English residents and their descendants form a large proportion of the population of the present city. In 1821 the United States paid Spain $5,000,000 for the territory of Florida and General Andrew Jackson became its first governor. Indian, pirate, Spaniard, British invader—each in turn has scourged the town, but after the passing of each it has arisen better than before, changed, but each time improved in character. From the Indian village of Seloy, through four centuries of battle and change to the quaint old town with its foreign airs, St. Augustine has become a fashionable winter resort. LARGE JADE BRINGS $4,000 Curious Chinese Relic Is Bought at Auction by St. Paul (Minn.) Man. New York.—T. B. Springer of St. Paul had the distinction of carrying off the most coveted and curious example of Chinese sculpture at the Squiers sale. It is a jade mountain, weighing 640 pounds. It measures 23 inches in height and is $38\frac{1}{2}$ by $18\frac{1}{2}$ inches wide. This is said to be the largest mass of sculptured jade in existence. It once occupied, a prominent place in the Chinese emperor's summer palace, west of Pekin. Mr. Springer obtained the specimen for $4,000 after keen competition, the principal underbidder being Frank Partridge. Pulpit Bar to Legacy Boulder, Colo.—The $50,000 will of the late John L. Church, wealthy catteman, has been filed for probate in the county court. This will include a $10,000 cash bequest to his wife and $5,000 to A. M. J. Whiting, a niece. The remainder is to be divided among grand-neces and grand-nephews after Mrs. Church's death. A peculiar provision of the will is that the nephews forfeit their shares if they become ministers of the gospel. Mr. Church had no deep-rooted feeling against the clergy, but wanted the boys to follow business careers. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER "Whacha doin'?" queried the small boy as he peered cautiously out of the back gate into the alley where the apartment house janitor was superintending the cremation of a rubbish heap. The small boy's nostril twitched apprehensively as he smiled the bonfire. Mike, the janitor, looked all around and then cautiously said: "Hist!" and crooked a finger. "What is it?" gasped the small boy as he tiptoed hurriedly out and joined Mike on the windward side of the blaze. "It's a cillybration, of mine," the janitor explained. "Every wance in a while I go through the rites." "What rites?" in an awed whisper. Mike polled in a recalcitrant wad of excelsior and, after swatting the blaze around the edges, put one fist on his hip. "You didn't know," he remarked, "that I was chief of the Dlidum-meries before I came to this country, did you? Well, I was!" The small boy dragged up a box that had escaped the blaze and sat down on it very close to Mike. "Tell me," he begged. "The Dimdummerles," explained the janitor, "is a flourishing society in the ould country that has communica-shuns with ghosts an' fairies—an' an' spirits in general. Whenever a Dimdummer wants to talk to a fairy all he has to do is build a magic bonfire on a spot hit by the light of the full moon for five minutes on a Chuesday night. That's very important, picking out the right spot. And lay the sticks pointing toward the north!" The small boy peered at the base of the bonfire, but the janitor sighed. "They ain't any spots that the light of the moon hits on a Chuesday night in this neighborhood," he mourned. "That is, exclut some that is occupied by buildings and otherwise engaged. But I say the magic words over my fires and pretind it's a glade I'm in and that there are fairies peeking out——" "Did you—did you ever truly see a fairy, Mike?" the small boy almost whispered. The janitor laughed condescendingly. "Did I liver see a fairy, now!" he repeated, scornfully. "Well, listen to that! Aln't I telling you how I was the chief of the Dimdummerles and what for would they be making me chief if I couldn't see more fairies than any other man in the county! There was one fairy who—look out, you'll be in the fire, now!—who used to pop up just as soakable an' smoke a pipe with me ivery time I lilt a fire for him! Wance he said: "Mike. I like you—you're a fine lad, an' you may have two wishes—anything you ask shall be granted!"" "I know what I'd have asked for!" breathed the small boy. "An airship an'——" "Airship!" Mike repeated in disgust. "That shows your needless dispossunh! A real 'sensible person would have asked for a wagon load of money, wouldn't he? An' then he could-a got a fleet of balloons an' everything." "Oh, of course!" agreed the small boy, much embarrassed. "Of course he would! But what did you do with all your money, Mike? If I was as rich as that I wouldn't work." The janitor coughed and was very busy stirring the fire. "What did I do with it?" he repeated, scowling horribly. "I'll tell yer—much as I hate to do it. I stuffed it into old stockings, av coarse, and tuk a board off the wall and chucked 'em into the cavity. They was banknotes—an' the rats and mice ate 'em up. I should have wished for a bank that couldn't fall, for my second wish, an' then I have been a rich man today. Instead of wishing as I did for—for—" "For what?" demanded the small boy. "Candy," confessed the janitor, sorrowfully. "I couldn't think of anything I wanted so much as plenty of candy and I got it and ate it all up and that was the end of it!" The small boy swallowed appreciatively. "Still, you had it," he said philosophically. "That wasn't so awful bad. Did you get chocolate an' car'mels and lemon sticks?" "Oh, all kinds," the janitor said, loftly. "I was sicker'n you ever dreamed of being, I tell you! It kind of soured me on that fairy an' I gave him the cold shoulder after that, but it didn't matter because right away the prettiest fairy I ever saw began coming out of a rose bush that—" "Oh, tell me all about it!" demanded the small boy ecstatically. "Will-le-le-le!" came down from the back porch of one of the flats. "There's your mother now," said Mike. "And anyhow—the magic fire's all burned out!" As They Do In France They do differently in France. A woman professor in an academy for young women supported by the government, is proud of having given three fine sons to her country. She recently, says Le Cri de Paris, sent a communication to the minister of public instruction giving an account of her long service and setting out her right to retire on a pension. She was not a little surprised to receive a statement that there had been subtracted from her time of service three vacations of one month each, the time required to bring her sons into the world. This official note bore these words: "Less three months taken for personal convenience." In Society. "How is it your society friend loves so to go to grand opera when she is so deaf?" "Why, she sees all the latest styles in evening costumes and knows just what is the best each of her friends can afford." "But she can't listen to the music." "I know, but who does!" AGED MAN NEARLY DROWNS IN BED Henry Frohman, Paralytic, Sees Water From Burst Main Creep Up to Him. New York.—Henry Frohman, a paralytic of 70] is suffering from shock following an explosion which flooded the basement at 203-207 East Forty-eighth street, in which he lay helpless on his cot. He was rescued when the water was up to his neck. Frohman heard the explosion in the street and a few minutes later saw a tiny stream of water trickle down the door step and into his room. The stream increased in volume and the water rose about his bed. Then he began to call for his wife, who is janitress of the building, but she was on one of the upper floors A man is sitting in a flooded room, surrounded by water.

It was this that saved his life. Politeman Donovan and Frederick Miller, a chauffeur, both of whom live in the house, came through the basement and carried Frohman to safety, just as he had given up hope. The water was then three and a half feet deep. Outside, the walk had been ripped up and a stream was shooting 25 feet in the air from a bursted 18-inch pipe. Nobody knew how to stop the flow and in was half an hour before the water was shut off. Meanwhile the basements in all the houses in the neighborhood had been flooded and many tenants were busy carrying furniture into the street and to upper stories. It was necessary for the police to place guards over the furniture piled in the streets, and while the flood continued the reserves formed lines and refused to permit any one to enter the danger zone. NAILS INTO WIFE'S SPINE Husband Alleged to Have Inflicted Torture in Form Preferred by Ancient Jezebel. Wilkesbarre, Pa.—Accused of inflicting on his wife the welt and deadly form of torture which the ancient Jezebel preffered for her most deadly foes, Stanley Vehenas is under arrest here. It is alleged upon corroborated testimony that the man actually drove two nails into his wife's spine. Jealous rage is given as the cause for the dead. Vehenas lived in a community of allens in a settlement where several families of foreigners herd together, using what few household effects they possess in common. Under these circumstances, it appears, Vehenas grew jealous of a fellow foreigner and several times uttered threats of vlo- J. Writhing in Pain and Helpless. lence against his wife. According to a story told by his son, he overpowered his wife last week, bound her with ropes and then with a hatchet drove two nails into her spinal column. Writhing in pain and helpless, she screamed with all her power and summoned aid from the neighborhood. She was taken to the hospital, where she is in a sem-conscious condition and doctors fear she will not recover. Would Tax Female Cats. Trenton, N.

He knew that when she reached home and found that she had seven instead of six eggs she would be so delighted with the supposition that she had overreached him that she would entirely disregard the fact that six of the eggs were storage and one was dubious! For the grocer understood human nature. And he was canny—Plain Dealer. Your Credit is Good and we will sell you Willow Plumes, French Plumes, Paradise Birds and Aigrettes on easy payments.

On the question of how working people, on the whole, have spent the added hour or hours of freedom from work, an author says that where critics prophesied more drunken idleness and rowdyism, faler observers found a kind of regeneration—no sud mellennium, but wherever suffice time has elapsed an extraordinary vance in physique and morals.

"What's up?" "Who is dead?" were some of the questions asked by those who were on the sidewalk to those affair. But on the sidewalk a gentleman marched with a military carriage. He answered all questions. "Oh," said he, "we are to take part in the parade in Chicago."

DRAMATIC SCENE AT A WEDDING ALTAR Wronged Girl With Detective Stops Marriage of Former Lover of Friend. FROM CHURCH TO CELL Philadelphia.—A dramatic incident occurred the other afternoon in St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal church, Fifteenth and Porter streets, when pretty Eleanor Rogan, 21 years old, of No. 3959 Wallace street, put to an unexpected end the wedding of James R. Senc儿儿儿, a marine stationed at the Philadelphia navy yard, and Ruth Myers, 20 years old, of No. 2440 South Rosewood street. The rector, Rev Edwin F. Carson, had just asked the formal question whether any one objected to the union, when Miss Rogan stepped up the nile and declared that the ceremony should not be continued. Senc儿儿儿, it is said, is a friend of both young women, who were formerly chlamys. For some time he paid attention to Rogan and there was an understanding that he was married. His love, however, turned to the young woman's friend, Miss Myers, and the two became engaged. Later he procured a license, giving his name as James R. Hale. Miss Rogan learned of all that was going on, and went to the Detective Bureau and later procured a warrant for the young marine's arrest. Companied by Detective Haley she went to the navy yard and told the commandant her story. He told her Sencenich was away on leave of absence, but he would be arrested and sent to police when he returned on Monday. Miss Rogan then visited her mother, who lives in the neighborhood of 15th I Miss Rogan Stepped Up the Alsaie, and Porter streets, and during her visit learned that the marine had been seen in the neighborhood during the day. She summoned Detective Haley and a further investigation resulted in the discovery that the marine and Miss Myers were to be married in the afternoon. It was about 4 o'clock when the rector pronounced the words saying that if anyone had any reason why the marriage should not take place, to speak now or forever hold his peace. He had hardly uttered the words when Miss Rogan walked up the aisle, with the detective behind her, and told the rector that the wedding must not be commended. Mr. Crawford took the marriage party, Miss Rogan and the detective to the vestry room, where the young woman told her story. He then handed back the marriage license to the marine, telling him that he could not continue the ceremony. When this was done the detective told the marine that he was under arrest and took him to the central police station. On the way from the church Sergeant of Marines Laselle tried to arrest Sencench on complaint of the government, but withdrew his request when the detective informed him that he was outside of Federal jurisdiction. Boy Killa Big Cougar. Woodville, Ore.—Eugene Moore, aged twelve years, who lives with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Moore, on Evans creek, about twelve miles from Woodville, shot and instantly killed a fully grown cougar. Young Moore and his companion, Frank Hillis, aged ten years, were coming home from school, and as they neared the house they heard the dogs barking and made an investigation. To their consternation, the dogs had been a cougar, and Eugene, after biding his companion to keep dogs on guard, left for the house, some 200 yards away, in search of a rife. Mr. Moore, the father, was not at home, but the boy shouldered his father's 30-30 and started for the lair of the cougar. The first shot killed the animal. Deaf From Melon Seeds Williamport, Pa.—Treating thirteen-year-old Carolina Garrison for deafness, Dr. G. D. Nutt found two watermelon seeds in the girl's right ear and one in the left.

The Walters, the Bellboys, Malde and Other Hotel News of, Every, Kind. By S. Adams New York, June 7.—The first direct victory for the striking waiters, who have tied up the majority of the big hotels and restaurants in the city came at noon today when Murray's restaurant granted all of the demands of the union and signed the agreement, averting a general strike there. At the same time the 80 cooks and waiters in the Fifth Avenue Restaurant, at Fifth avenue and Twenty-third street, joined the ranks of the strikers and it was stated that half a dozen other restaurants and hotels would be tied up at dinner-time tonight. Both sides professed confidence this afternoon of ultimate victory. Despite the fact that twenty-one hotels, six of the best known restaurants and two clubs, were crippled by the strike, the Hotel Managers' Association defiantly declared that there would be no compromise. The real crux of the situation is union recognition. Most of the hotels declare their willingness to grant the men the increases in wages, shorter work-days and reforms in disciplinary fines asked by the men must come back to work as individuals. So far the strike has been singularly free from disorder Meet Every Train. Committee of the union meets every train that comes into town and up to the present have succeeded in organizing three-quarters of the strike breakers imported. Many of these men insisted they did not know a strike was in progress and accepted tickets back to their homes. The hotelmen brought a large number of college boys here and tried them out but they were not satisfactory as waiters. Southern colored help are being tried as an experiment but in only one hotel, the Plaza, are they giving satisfaction. At the Plaza cots have been placed in the great ballroom, one of the most expensively furnished rooms in the hotel, and there the colored help sleep as the police have warned the management that if their imported help room the city at will they will have a strenuous time of it at the hands of "entertainment committees." An attempt to have the questions at issue between the waiters and the hotel proprietors arbitrated was made today by John H. Daschner, vice president of the Elite Head Waiters Association, who told the hotel men that if they persisted in importing colored help and strike-breakers from the cheap restaurants south, race riots will result. "We intend to fight these fellows to a finish and lick them," Tierney declared, "and there is nothing doing on arbitration." WOMAN'S FEDERATION. The City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs Met at Zion Church Monday, 3rd of June at 10 a.m. Mrs. Thressa Macon, the president, presided Speeches were made by Mrs. Ida D. Lewis, the state organizer, and by Mrs. E. L. Davis, president of the City Federation, as well as by Mrs. Macon, the president of the City Federation. Dr. H. J. Callis, the pastor of the church, was then introduced to the Federation. He spoke words of welcome to the Federation. In the afternoon Dr. Carey and Rev. H. E. Stewart were also introduced to the Federation. The Federation admitted several new clubs and the future looks bright. Mrs. Johnson, the chairman of the transportation committee, made a report on the railroad fares, and they decided to go by way of the C. & O. from Chicago to Hampton in July. At this time Mr. M. T. Balley, representing the Grand Fountain of True Reformer, was introduced by the president and spoke in glowing terms. He was also line of the C. & O. from Chicago to Hampton and the splendid accommodations which would be furnished by the C. & O. Mrs. La More was introduced as one of the survivors of the Titanic. She told in her own words her experience of the terrible disaster. The Federation also elected delegates to the state convention in August, as well as to the National Federation which meets in Hampton, Va. July 23. Depending On. An artist of international fame recently had a bright little Swedish girl posing for him, and thinking to keep her expression animated, he conversed with her while he worked.

"I if have sense," she answered, "I will be a school teacher. If I have no sense, I will paint pictures—like you." Particles From Radium Radium emits three streams of minute particles.

Should a wound be received a remedy is at hand; the sore is bathed in aquardiente, a little is taken for the stomach's sake, and all is well. Aquardiente is as close, even much closer at hand often than is water, and it is the remedy of all remedies for every ill flesh is heir to among the majority of natives.

BATH AT A HOLLAND HOTEL Tourist Writes of His Experience at Old Hostelery—Charge 40 Cents for Water. Amsterdam, Holland.—"There are some things about a trip through Holland that you recall when stopping at one of our modern hotels," said Albert Sampter at the Hotel Pontcharratrain. "In many places the hotels are run as they have been for ages and candies still are the vogue. "Rooms with bath are unknown. Instead they charge you about 40 cents in American money for a bath. You ask for the privilege of using the tub with her send up a mald who b-hings with her swimsuit so scap if you have none, for you are supposed to carry both with you. She fills the tub, it about the right degree of heat, and the faucets are locked, so if you want any more water you don't get it; also there is no chance for your traveling pal snacking in and enjoying a bath without coming through with another 40 cents. "You are provided with one candle a day and charged for it. The lights go out early in the night, and if you happen to get up or want to read you can do so with a candle. This does not apply to Amsterdam, which is a metropolitan city." Strikes a Blacksnake Mine East Killingly, Conn.-H. F.

Demand of Duty Responded to, Frequently With Sublime Herosism, in the Common, Every Day Walks of Humdrum Employment. While war, in the very nature of things, abounds in opportunities for valorous exploits, and its every deed is written large on the page of history, the humbler and qualer sphere of private life affords even more and keener opportunities for the display of true heroes, writes Gen. H. M. Chittenden in The Forum. The physician or nurse who voluntarily goes into a plague stricken district, the miner who braves the fire-damp to rescue his imprisoned fellows, the crew who stand at their posts while their vessel is making the fireman who scates a toterting man in human life, the patrolman who enters a den of desperadoes at imminent personal risk—whoever, in the pursuance of duty, no matter how humble, subordinates his personal safety to that duty—is as much entitled to the commendation of heroes as a soldier who does his duty in war can possibly be. War against physical nature and the evils of human nature, and their ultimate subjugation to the intellectual and spiritual dominion of man, constitute a struggle which will give ample scope to the energies of the race beyond our remotest ken. We cannot even guess its ultimate possibilities; but so long as there are mountain barriers to be overcome, floods to be controlled, deserts and swamps to be reclaimed; or so long as men are deprived of shortunities, and the predatory wealth* their manic toric nature, need man not feel that war is necessary to call forth the best there is in him. The age of true heroism, the age of the ideal "strenuous life"—when some philosopher of the distant future shall write a history of civilization—will not be that of Alexander or Caesar or Napoleon, but of those later periods when the energy of the race is directed to friendly co-operation instead of bloody conflict or incessant preparation therefor. It will be an age in which every virtue of militarism will find a higher and fuller expression, its manifest vices, and particularly its hideous actions, aside. Let nations wage all the Pana-ma wars that they like—the more the better—but let them outgrow as rapidly as possible their Gravelottes and Plevnas and Port Arthure. Greenland Is Green. Greenland is green in more ways than one. Its wonderful miniature trees are a most beautiful green, and travelers declare no such color is found elsewhere in the world. Greenland is practically a great group of green mountains covered with ice that has a green tint, and which has formed great icebound glaciers, that are tied between the mountain ranges and can be penetrated only by a drill. Where the sun strikes with sufficient force the ice and snow let go, and the glaciers, which are called "live," often melt enough to slide and dash down the mountain, or drop with an awful force into the inlets. Very often such glaciers do a lot of damage to shipping that has sought shelter in bays or inlets, and in a period the country is often illuminated with what we term northern lights, or aurora borealis. Without this electrical display, the country would be wrapped in darkness of a peculiar density. Shoe Dealer Duke. The story of how a grand duke, a near relation of the czar of Russia, came to be a boot and shoe dealer on the Newsvsky Prospects come from St Petersburg. Some time ago a woman from Paris appeared in the Russian capital, covered with diamonds. It was loudly whispered that this woman was a protege of the grand duke; that the money that paid for all this display came out of the admiralty treasury and would have paid the crews of many ships in the war with Japan. One evening at a reception this woman was hooted and was obliged to withdraw. The czar drove her away and dismissed the grand duke in disgrace. His career having thus been closed he opened the shoe store. Now he has been pardoned and restored to his rank. But his shoe store continues to do business and all the officers who are under his orders are wise enough to patronize it in order not to put anything in the way of their advancement. Nova Scotia Eelgrass United States Consul Albert J. Fleming of Yarmouth, N. S., reports that the exportations of eelgrass to the port of Boston in the latter part of 1911 were the largest in the history of that traffic, the amount in two months being 237 tons, the gross price of which was $10 a ton. This practically cleaned up the crop in the storage barns, but since then large quantities were gathered, and, after drying, the grass was stored to supply the demand during the next season. Eelgrass is practically unlimited in size and hardness, that larger shipments will be moved in the near future. The principal use is for mats and cheap mattresses, but the Yarmouth firms who are engaged in buying from small producers and marketing the commodity, believe that the eelgrass can be used in the manufacture of coarse wrapping paper. Where the Trouble Lies Miss Sadie American thinks that silk stockings at 20 cents a pair are responsible for much of the trouble of the working girl. Next to the silk stockings comes the willow plume, neither of them being for the girl who works for $5 a week, but she cannot realize it. The woman of fashion having lost her sense of values, she says, wears imitations, and what can she expect of the poor girl who sees her as a model? Miss American says she hates silk stockings and lacees willow plumes, knowing what she does of the good girls who have exchanged their souls for them.

HOW TRUE HOME IS CREATED It Never Can Be Made Deliberately, But Must Just Grow Through the Years. Probably only when a man comes to get married does he realize how full the world is of people ready and anxious to give advice. This is an age of advice giving; and particularly it is an age of advice giving to those about to wed. I have a fairly large circle of young married acquaintances, and I am not very nervous, for then I seem to come across the trail of the Advice Giver in the shape of some examples of the result of Advice Taken. Far too much advice, there is no doubt, is uttered by "artistic" people on this really absolutely simple matter of house-interior decoration. The true home interior is never created deliberately. It happens. Throughout the years it accumulates, it develops, it grows and blossoms forth into its final beauty—or uginess, as the case may be. The lovely old cottage and farm interiors so much imitated nowadays were not the result of conceived decoration or design; they were instilled in them. They "grewed." No "decorator expert," was called in to devise their harmonies, but pretended "accidental" groupings, texture, window-seat, oak beans, and the rest. Beauty was evolved, just because there was to forethought, no conscious decoration—Exchange. Hardly a Benefit to the Race A young New England student has succeeded in developing live carpillars by means of sulphuric acid. The scientists are excited over the feast, but the country at large will not be wildly enthusiastic over the prospect of being able to multiply carpillars at will, and may even be clamoring for laws to prevent ambitious young scientists from increasing by scientific means flies, mosquitoes and kindred nuisances to the human race.

BANDS OF HARDWARE WHITE PIGEON BROUGHT LUCK Perched on Wheel Box of the Fishing Boat and Gave it Fine Maiden Trip. It is one of the pet beliefs of the fishing fleet folk that when a white bird flies aboard a ship at sea good luck is bound to follow. And if a white bird happens to fly aboard a brand new craft it insures the vessel with all kinds of joy forever. Out on garges we weeks ago today, a little piggie fluttered on the deck of the good船 Mary, pachahed on the wheel box. Result—good luck. Although Capt. Whallen's boat struck mighty hard weather, it came through without a scratch and landed 130,000 pounds of mixed ground fish, mostly hake and cusk, which is pretty nearly the record catch for a maiden trip. The pigeon looked at though it had had some pretty hard luck itself before it fell in with the Mary, however. One of its wings was badly torn, as though a gull or a hawk had taken a piece out of it. The man aboard took good care of the pigeon, giving it plenty of food, although they made no attempt to confine it to any one part of the vessel. The bird made friends with every one, especially the cook, and refused to eat except out of the men's hands. As the Mary came up the harbor this morning, the bird was adeep. Abreast of Governor's Island he suddenly took wing and flew away. The men said it looked to them as though the bird had recognized his surroundings in the latter harbor and had flown for home—Boston Globe. Remonstrance The etray bits of conversation one cannot help overhearing in. public places sometimes are deliciously funny: A conductor said, in tones of great severity, to a passenger who was making considerable disturbance on the car: "Here, here, air!
