VOLUME VII. NUMBER 24. WHO WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT? Washington All Agog Over the Selection of the Next President of Howard University—Will It Be a Colored or a White Man? (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Washington, June 14.—All Washington, official and otherwise, now has its eyes on Chicago, and next week there will be a regular heira from here to the great west's metropolis. Quite a number of our citizens here have decided to attend the convention, and an even larger delegation would go if they had any assurance all could secure admission to the convention. Wm. Calvin Chase, editor of The Bee, and Dr. Marshall, delegate and alternate, respectively, to the convention, will be among the first to move on to Chicago. They will be followed by J. C. Napier, registrar of the treasury; Whitfield McKinlay, collector of customs; Wm. H. Lewis, assistant attorney general; Dr. Wilder, Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds, and a number of others. Auditor Tyler is 18. One familiar figure will be missed, however, and that is Ralph W. Tyler, auditor and lawyer. Tyler who has been ill for the past seven weeks is too weak to make the trip, although he had planned to go, and it is said the Taft people were depending upon him to render good service. In the absence of Mr. Tyler it is expected that Messrs. Napier and Johnson will join hands to look after the President's interests. Mr. Tyler is slowly recovering from an attack of pneumonia, contracted while in Ohio. Prof. Kelly Miller a favorite. Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard university, to succeed Dr. Thirkle, recently elected bishop in the M. E. church, is a prize for which several promi- nials of college educators are contesting. Among them suggested for this position are Prof. Kelly Miller, Prof. L. B. Moore, Prof. Geo. W. Cook and Prof. W. W. Tunnel, who are members of How- ward's faculty; Prof. Du Bois, Wm. H. Lewis and Prof. R. R. Wright Jr. The white men mentioned for the place are Dr. Parks and Dr. Thomas Jesse Jongs. The former is one of the professors at Howard, and the former was formerly a teacher at Humphrey at Humphrey and a clerk in the census office here at Washington in charge of certain statistic Many colored men think that it is now time that Howard 'university, whose students are all colored, should have a colored educator for president, and especially so since there are no really big white educators who would accept the place. There are several colored men on the trustee board, they being Drs. Francis, Wheatland, Waring and Mooreland, and Grimke and J. C. Napier. It would be naturally expected that the colored trustees, as race man, would favor a colored man for president, but it is rumored that the colored trustees, with the exception of Waring and Napier, favor a white man. It is known that some of the white trustees stand ready to vote for a colored man for president, and if the colored trustees only joined hands a colored man could be elected. Opposition to Dr. T. J. Jones. While Judge Terrell and Wm. H. Lewis have been mentioned in connection with the place, it is known that neither has done anything in his own behalf, and it is not likely that either would accept if tendered the place. The position pays approximately $7,000 per annum. Considerable opposition has been aroused by the candidacy of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones on the grounds that he is from an industrial school (Hampton), while Johnson is University for higher education. The friends of higher education claim that the election of Dr. Jones would mean the industrializing of Howard. They also contend that while he is a white man much interested in colored education he is not a really big man. The selection of the next president will be made at the next meeting of the board of trustees, on June 28. Not only is all Washington, but the country is greatly interested in the selection of Howard's next president. MME. EMILY SCOTT'S BEAUTIFUL PARLORS Beauty Culture Expert Opens Fine Establishment on South Side. Thursday, with music and singing, Mme. Emily M. Scott opened her magnificent beauty culture parlor at 3825 State street. The entire South Side has no establishment as perfect in appointment and as rich in decorations as Mme. Scott's. Ferns, palms, cut flowers and singing birds formed the decorations. Thursday night roses were also given as souvenirs. The hours were from 6 to 10 p. m. and the place was crowded. Mme. Scott is considered a beauty culture expert, having worked at it all her life. She is an authority on the cultivation of the hair, maneuering and beautifying the skin, and every other art under that head. Mme. Scott will welcome her friends again tonight. The Defender urges its readers to visit the place. The four booths are conveniently arranged and the four lady attendents are competent and finished artists. A large stock of hair and toilet articles are on display. Don't take our word for it; go and see. It is the prettiest place of its kind on the South Side. A Fearless, HONEST CHAMPION of the People MR.JOSEPH BIGGS PLAYS CLOWN; SILLY LETTER Mr. Joseph Biggs, Who Claims Politics as a Profession, Writes a Silly Letter to the Chicago Daily News—He Advises Separate Schools and Tells His Race to Stay Down on the Farm—Has No Right to Advance—Hon. Booker T. Washington Not Pleased With the Mention of His Name—Insults Chicago's Citizens—Many Other Honest People Besides Porters, Janitors, Cooks and House Servants. GENTLEMAN'S EDUCATION SADLY NEGLECTED. School Children Have Asked Whether Mr. Biggs Has Ever Heard of the Fame of England Through Its School System—Has He Ever Heard of S. Coleridge-Taylor, a Splendid Example of the Only School System That Free American Citizens With an Ounce of Common Sense Care to Talk About—And of the School Systems in the Various Northern Cities and the Thousands of Pupils Therein? One Mr. Joseph Biggs, living on La Salle street, who claims to be a politician, is either seeking a little cheap notoriety or playing the buffoon for some of the white Southerners who are in Daily News. In the issue of the Chicago City of Monday, June 10, this very learned gentleman has a silly article in which he tries to discuss "farming for Negroes." It is evident that Mr. Biggs' education along racial lines and his knowledge of Chicago, its citizens and of the schools has been sadly neglected in his youth. Is He Really Serious? IS HE Really Serious? It is hard to believe that the gentleman is really serious, for one statement, one stamps him as a little weak in the head, when he says that, for instance, in the Chicago meet of the Negroes honorably employed and porters, janitors, cooks, hotel servants and servants in private families. 66 absolutely ridiculous is his line of writing, and space in the Chicago Defender is so precious, that further comment is impossible. Farming for Negroes. To give the citizens of Chicago Mr. Biggs' idea of them his article is reproduced in full. The caption was as above. The Negro should stay on the farm, as Dr. Booker T. Washington advises. This writer has seen thousands of healthy city people begging in times of great prosperity, but he has never seen a farmer begging under the same conditions. Why should any one censure Dr. Washington for advising his people to lessen their chances for becoming beggars? The Negro in the cities and the north finds most of the doors of opportunity closed. He cannot work in the factories and for the great corporations and contractors. He cannot teach because the Negro is so lacking in the pride that he prefers to sacrifice all advantages: money, race pride, educational training, social training and opportunities for his boys and girls—for the sake of mixing the schools so that the colored boys and girls can associate with white people. In the south the Negro has his own schools, he can work for contractors and find white men that are willing to loan him money and give him substantial aid and backing. It is there that he finds men that know him, trust him and give him a chance. The south offers the Negro the very things that will solve the race problem if it can be solved—and a chance to develop an opportunity to develop race pride and an opportunity for men and women as proachers, doctors, educators, bishops, and so forth. What has the north to offer him? Nothing that amounts to much and everything that tends to degradation. For instance, in Chicago most of the Negroes honorably employed are porters, janitors, cooks, hotel servants and servants in private families. Nearly every colored person will tell you that the place to get a good husband or wife among our people is in the south and on the farm. They say that the Negro is disfranchised, mobbed and burned in the south. He has been mobbed and burned in the north and he would be disfranchised in the north if the same conditions that exist in the south. Chicago is no place for Mr. Biggs. He had better hike back to those sections where those conditions exist. Chicago is an up-to-date northern city and the sentiment contained in his letter is not wanted in this section.

Auditor Tyler Is III. Colored or White? CHICAGO, DLL., SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1912. JACK JOHNSON BLUE PENCILS REFEREE LIST The Champion Scratches Eleven of the Fifteen Names Off the List of Referees Submitted to Him Sunday by Charley O'Malley, Promoter of the Heavy-weight Championship Battle, July 4—Only Four Names Left—Eliminates Eleven Men—Champion Favors Smith or Welsh—Levy, a Local Man, also a Favorite. NAMES SUGGESTED NEGRO HATERS. The World's Champion, Careful of His Much Coveted'Reputation, Exercises Extreme Care in the Selection' of a Referee—No Steam Roller Tactics for Him—Brands as Unfit Many Who Have Pronounced Antipathy Against His Race—Champion Weights 222 Pounds—Does Lots of Road Work. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) East Las Vegas, N. Mex., June 14.—Champion Jack Johnson, with all of his faults, is to be given credit for his far-sightenedness in the selection of a referee for the proposed bout on July 4. They tried to fake him, but he wouldn't stand for it. The promoters of the fight submitted a list of referees, eleven of which the champion crossed off as unfit. At least a half dozen of those crossed off were men known as Negro haters. One of them openly declared that Negro had no business at the head of the game. It was decidedly unpopular and perfectly unharmful for sporting men of southern blood to have to toady to a man as black as Jack Johnson." Only Four Names Left. Those surviving the scratching process are Jack Welch of San Francisco, Ed. W. Smith of Chicago, Edward Cochrane of Kansas City and Mark Levy of Albuquerque, N. Mex. The rejected eleven include Abe Pollock and Otto Floto of Denver, Sandy Griswold of Omaha, Sam Austin and Honest John Kelly of New York, George Burger of Minneapolis, Harry Sharpe and Frank Noel of St. Louis, Charles Murphy of Buffalo, N. Y. Albert Jones of Abuquerque and Chas. O'Malley of Las Vegas. Newly, with his intimate knowledge of the men, the champion favors Smith or Welch. He also considers Cochrane a splendid lattice judge, while Levy's name remains on the list as he is a practical and local man. All New Mexico is anxious to have hlm serve as the third man in the ring on July 4th. The Champion No Talker Champion Johnson is credited with a whole lot of talk regarding referees. Those who know him know that he is not a talker and of all the men that have won fame in the roped arena, Champion Jack Johnson has had the least to say, although sporting writers the world over give him credit for being a veritable talking machine. Interest in the fight in Chicago increases every minute. Betting is fast and furious. There is Johnson money everywhere. Every delegate to the National convention, after their political work is done, can talk nothing else but Johnson and Flynn. The Chicago Defender has a special correspondent with the Johnson party. The latest and best news will always be found in these columns. Reporter Sees Champion. I saw the champion on Thursday and he was in the best of health. As it rained most of the afternoon, he did not do any boxing or other training in his gymnasium. He was on the road, however, in the morning. The champion tips the scales at 222 pounds. I hated to scratch the ticket, as there were a lot of good felons and ceilent referees on the list," said the champion, "but, with fifteen names placed in nomination, it was necessary that I use the blue penl. Welch, Smith, Cochrane or Levy suit me." LARGEST DRUG FIRM Nashville, Tenn., June 14—Perhaps the largest drug store owned by colored men in the United States is the one in Chattanooga, Tenn., the proprietors of which are Messrs. Allen and Wickliffe. They are engaged in a wholesale as well as retail business, operating upon a capital of about $20,000. The drug store is located in the James building, worth about $15,000, and owned by a colored man of that name. THE ILLINOIS NATIONAL GUARD MEETS. The National Guard for the state of Illinois meets in the Seventh Regiment Armory on Thursday. This important event in military circles takes place once a year. The Eighth Infantry, as usual, came in for its just meed of praise. 31ST AND STATE STS. A FESTIVE CENTER The Mecca for the Pleasure Bent —All Roads Lead There— Large Crowds, But Orderly. By W. D. Johnson. As in ancient days all roads led to Rome, as Athens was the mecca of Greece and mistress of the world, and Jerusalem the center of attraction for all Jewish festivities, so is 31st and State streets the festival center around which the colored population of Chicago revolve. There are hundreds and thousands of colored people, young and old, who visit this center of festivities and amusement in the evening, daily and Sunday, seeking a relaxation from their daily toll. Sometimes during the festivities the streets are so crowded that they are almost impossible. And the great wonder of it that the people are so very orderly. This fact goes to show that it is not the riff-raff and the rullans who make up the crowds, but decent, law abiding citizens who are pleasure bent and sight-seeing, with no other purpose in view but to satale their ardent desire for amusement. In this neighborhood are located some of the most fashionable cafes, and some very good shows where one may go alone, or with his wife or lady companion, be served and entertained without the least fear of embarrassment. It is well that there are such places to which our people are without discrimination and embarrassment. It is the better element who visit these places will see to it and demand that they be kept on an orderly and decent plane. SECOND ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT. W. L. Jackson's Music School at Odd Wednesday, 3333 State Street, W, Friday The Jackson music school is located at 3151 State street, Chicago, and was established Sept. 1, 1909. Its success is attributed to careful teaching, an excellent course of study, and the great variety of brass and stringed instruments taught. A special course for piano and sight-singing has been carefully selected from six other courses by Mr. Jackson in the last five years. Prospective pupils will do well to consult the largest, best and cheap music school in Chicago before going elsewhere. Free monthly recitals by the pupils at the school, 3151 State street, first Wednesday evening in each month. Hours, 10 a. m., to 10 p. m. 'Phone Auto 74548. Second annual commencement at Odd Fellows Hall, Wednesday evening, June 19. Tickets, 25 cents; children, 10 cents. Another recent financial institution added to the fifty old banks already in successful operation among the Negroes of this country is the Lincoln State Savings Bank, corner of 31st and State streets, Chicago, Ill. It flung open its doors for business the morning of May 6 under very favorable conditions.—Ex. [The Lincoln State Savings Bank is not a colored institution, as most people think. It is founded by white gentlemen, Messrs. Bowers and Leibbrandt, of the firm of Bowers & Company, who have been very kind bent towards our people. There is only one colored bank in Chicago, that of Mr. Jesse Binga, which is wholly supported by white people, not even the colored churches making their deposits, as a whole, with him.] MARQUETTE CLUB. Among the establishments for the supply of wines and other choice beverages along "the Stroll" none stand out more prominently than the Marquette Club at 3010 State street. The Marquette Club is made attractive by its splendid and artistic decorations, its prompt and complete service and the personal care of Mr. Wm. Bowman the proprietor. He is always and ever alert for the benefit of his patrons. Champion Jack Johnson long ago signified that this establishment was his favorite stopping place when here and, like the famous pelican, he still sticks to it. The entertainers and music at the Marquette Club are par excellence and many delegates find it a convenient meeting place. The Marquette idea is a good one. MR. GEORGE H. WILSON HURT. Mr. G. W. Wilson was knocked down by a street car on State street near 33d Sunday and painfully injured. Prompt medical assistance was given him by Dr. Officer, whose office overlooked the scene of the accident. The Chicago Defender reporter secured the car number, but there was no other evidence of activity on the part of the friends of Mr. Wilson. Mr. and Mrs. Henry (Teenan) Jones, 6645 Evans avenue, entertained Mr. and Mrs. Jas. E. Duncan at a wedding breakfast at Lett's. Mr. and Mrs. Duncan are now welcome to the party. The father and mother of the bride, Prof. and Mrs. E. Williams, were among the honored guests. K. OF P.'S WIN CASE IN THE SUPREME COURT The United States Supreme Court Renders a Fat Reaching Decision in Favor of Their Order—Sets Aside the Decree of the Supreme Court of Georgia, Which Tried to Abolish Order—Chief Justice White, Southern Democrat, Hands Down Opinion—Two Dissenting Voices—Holmes of Massachusetts, Son of an Abolitionist and a Tennessee Democrat. SPLENDID WORK OF CHI- CAGO LAWYER. Supreme Attorney S. A. T. Watkins Ably Presents and Argues the Case Before the United States Supreme Court—Considered an Able Lawyer—No Evidence That Order Had Usurped the Rights of Others—Georgia and Every Other Southern State Jubilant—Order to Celebrate Victory. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Washington, D. C., June 14.—The United States Supreme Court yesterday set aside the decree of the Su- A. E. ATTORNEY S. A. T. WATKINS, Who Made Southern States Recognize Secret Orders. preme Court of Georgia, which enjoined colored men from incorporating a lodge in that state under the name of Knights of Pythias. Chief Justice White delivered the opinion. In delivering the opinion Chief Justice White declared that the Federal Supreme Court had jurisdiction to review the case, and that there was not a scintilla of evidence in the record to be deceived, or that the public had been deceived, or that the property right of the white order had been deceived, with by the existence of the colored order for twenty years in Georgia. This decision, handed down by the United States Supreme Court, is far reaching in that it will estop any other southern state from enjoining the incorporation of Knights of Pythias lodges. The agreeable surprise to colored men is that Chief Justice White, a southern democrat, recently appointed Chief Justice by President Taft, should so vigorously decide in favor of the colored Knights of Pythias. The two juvenile judging judges were Justice Holmes of Massachusetts, who is one of the Republican judges; and Justice Lurton, of Tennessee, who is a democrat, and was appointed as such. The decision will be joyful news to colored Knights of Pythias throughout the country. The Knights of Pythias in Chicago are especially pleased, for it was a Chicago lawyer, Hon. S. A. T. Watkins, supreme counselor of the order, who pleaded the case before the United States Supreme Court. It is said that Mr. Watkins's argument and support of the case was the most complete legal presentation before that body in many days. It is said that Mr. Watkins quoted more authorities and was so well versed in legal phraseology as to command a compliment from one of the judges. Mr. Watkins is not only an influential and prominent member of the K. of Pa. but is one of Chicago's most progressive and substantial citizens. He is a factor in petitions and a substantial supporter. Every effort for the good of the race. His palatial home at 3632 Calumet avenue is one of the centers of social life of the city. Physician, Bank Official and Noted Politician From Atlanta. Dr. U. G. Mason, distinguished physician and surgeon of Birmingham, Ala., prominent and influential politician of that state, is here as a delegate-at-large to the National convention. Dr. Mason is a director of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, president of the People's Drug Company, and has the distinction of winning his present position in life by hard work. He is one of those self-made men who has the spirit of "sticking to it" which has made many of our famous leaders. Dr. Mason's friends relate with considerable interest the story of how he started in life with but twenty cents. Now he owns property and business interests said to be worth $125,000. He is a schoolmate of Mr. Raleigh W. Shields, a local property owner. A STREET CAR EXCURSION Frederick H. Bartlett & Co. Adopt Unique Idea to Display Their Pretty Suburban Houses. Frederick H. Bartlett & Company, the progressive real estate dealers at 59-69. West Washington street, have adopted a novel idea to display their new houses at 95th street. Sunday afternoon, at 1:30, they have arranged for a special car at the corner of 31st and State streets. The car will be beautified with streamers, and there will be no charges. The Chicago Defender would urge its many young readers to take this trip and view these beautiful new homes. All of its readers are not married, but the small payment required to secure these homes and the very liberal terms that are arranged for the payment of the balance makes a most splendid form of investment. A descriptive advertisement of these houses will be found on another page. Mrs. Edward Chandler Elated Over the Hospitality of the South. Mrs. Emma Chandler of 6504 St. Lawrence avenue has returned to the city from a three weeks' visit to Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and other points south. The genuine hospitality of Montgomery, Ala.; the elaborate commencement exercises of Tuskegee Institute; the instructive sessions of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress, and the magnificent schools and Negro business enterprises of Nashville, Tenn., were all thoroughly enjoyed by Mrs. Chandler, but her main mission south was to visit her son, A. G. Chandler, who has completed a post graduate course in agriculture at the famous Tuskegee Institute, where he has been employed as one of the instructors in the agricultural department of the past year. ORGANIZE GARAGE CO. Prominent Bostonians in a New Business Venture—Capitalized at $15,000. Cambridge, Mass., June 14—The United Garage Company, capitalized at $15,000, is the name of a new corporation which has recently been organized in Boston. Its object is to build, maintain and lease buildings for the storage and keeping and pairing of automobiles and other motor vehicles, also to sell and operate the same. A tract of land 6,000 feet square has been purchased on Minion street, Back Bay, at a cost of $6,000, on which to put the necessary buildings of the plant. Jesse Goode, of Goode, Denison and Henry Company, the wholesale and retail grocery firm of the South End, is the president, and James R. Jones, one of the few colored men to own motor trucks, is the treasurer. OWNS 1,700 ACRES Mr. Johnson, Prosperous Tennes see Farner, in the Limelight. Nashville, Tenn., June 14—Henry Johnson, a prosperer farmer of Carroll county, Tennessee, has successfully demonstrated what thrift and constant attention to work will do for any member of the race. He is the proud owner of 1,700 acres of fettle land, which he has divided into seventeen farms and cultivated by his tenants, whose chief crop is cotton. Mr. Johnson frequently has in operation at one time thirty-four plows on his land. He has his own blacksmith shop, hay-balers, feed-crusherers and sorghum mills. Men of Mr. Johnson's type are always in a position to command the respect and recognition of their neighbors, both while and colored. HON. HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON Recorder of Deeds at Washinton, D. C., and Prominent Atlanta Citizen a Delegate. Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds at Washington, D. C. is in the city as a delegate to the convention. M is the guest of Hon. Beauregart F.

F. Mosely Host at the Appomattox Club—Hon. Nelson Crews at Bethel Monday Night—J. C, Napler Hurt. By J. Hockley Smiley Chicago is the convention city of the United States and is living up to its reputation in the truest sense of that term. Delegates to the National Republican Convention have arrived this week in large numbers. Never before have Chicagoans had the pleasure of entertaining so many distinguished members of the race as now. Many Notable Delegates. From Kansas City comes the Hon. Nelson Crews; from Jackson, Miss, comes W. J. Latham; from Philadelphia comes Amos Scott, J. C. Asbury and Maj. Stephens, while that political warrior, J. Madison Vance, leads one of the largest southern delegations. Hon. Solomon Johnson, emilie at New York, and the Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, collector of ports in New York, are much in evidence. Hon. Chas. Banks, a prominent official of the popular Negro City, Mound Bayou, and hundreds of others have taxed the capacity of hotels and boarding houses to the limit. The Keystone, the Pullman and the Hotel Washington are over-flowing. Along Wabash, Forest, Vernon and Calumet avenues those families with accommodations for roomers are doing a land office business. The Negro in Politics. The Negro's part in this campaign is still uncertain. Some say that he is an outcast, others say that his only salvation is the Socialist party. The delegates, as a whole, are noncommittal, but the question of the ultimate destiny of the Negro in politics will soon be decided. One of the busiest places is the Roosevelt headquarters at 35th and State streets. Here the strong supporters of "Teddy" have large and ample quarters, reception rooms, executive meeting quarters, buffet and restaurant and every other convenience for delegates and friends. The genial young newspaper man, Mr. Crawford, as the secretary, makes every visitor a welcome. The polished and dignified Col. Enn. Marshall is also in evidence, as is the learned and brilliant orator, Senator T. T. Allain. Many Enjoyable Entertainments. The visitors and delegates are being royally entertained. There are very few formal entertainments, but GRAND MILITARY RECEPTION AND BALL 8th Regiment TUESDAY, JUNE 18th 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. In addition to the dance program the regiment will give a full dress parade, after which long and honorable service medals will be presented to those of the command who have been continuously in the regiment for five years or more. Do not fail to at! and meet thousands of the city dir the smaller and more enjoyable home affairs are numerous. The contests, especially with the southern delegates, has prevented them from indulging in social affairs as much as they would have liked. The banner affair socially will be the reception and ball of the 8th Infantry, Illinois National Guard, at the 7th Regiment Armory on the evening of June 18. Many delegates will view for the first time a regiment of their own, for the "8th" has the proud distinction of being the only regiment of color in the United States. Many delegates are accompanied by their wives and families. Amusements in and around Chicago are being generally patronized by them. Asst. U. S. Attorney-General Lewis Another distinguished delegate is Assistant United States Attorney-General William H. Lewis, who, with Dr. Geo. W. Cabanis of Washington, are the guests of Col. and Mrs. J. R. Marshall. The Hon. Judson W. Lyons, ex-registrar of the United States Treasury, Hon. J. C.

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 light of walk 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 concensus 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 4908 and the number is 20 and 22 East 31st street. Looking Far Into the Future. Italy has added to her agricultural area by draining the great Fucina marshes and thus providing a living for hundreds of thousands of her poverty-stricken population. It will probably be hundreds of years before America is so thickly populated that additional area will of necessity have to be acquired for farming, but when the time arrives there will be engineers able and willing to drain the great lakes. Pestilent Female Mosquito. The female mosquito often lives through the winter, hibernating in dark places like attics, clothes presses and the crevices between floor and baseboard or outdoors in the cracks in the bark of trees. As soon as the pools of water are warm enough in the spring so her eggs will not freeze she begins to lay, and ten days to three weeks later the young mosquitoes sally forth for their first taste of blood.

A Heart to Heart Talk From the Health Department—Vacation Time Hints. The vacation season is here and from now until September many thousands of Chicago people will hire themselves away to the numerous resorts in the near-by states for their summer outings. Many of these resorts are beautiful and attractive places, with plenty of good fresh air, wholesome food and with clean, sanitary surroundings. Some of the resorts, however, have beautiful scenery, fine fishing, and good hotels; but they also have plenty of flies, polluted water and bad sanitation generally. Here are some things that you should look into in connection with selecting a place to spend your summer vacation: Water Supply.—Water taken from a shallow well, located near a barn or outhouse, is certain to be polluted, and therefore unsafe for drinking purposes. Also, if the waste water from the well is allowed to drain back into it, the water would be unsafe. Toilet Arrangements.—Open, that is unscreened privy vaults, together with swarms of flies, render eating in the vicinity a hazardous undertaking. This is especially true of many picnic grounds where picnic parties on a day's outing eat their luncheons in the open air. Flies inhabit privy vaults and they are also fond of picnic lunches. Sewage and Drainage.—If the summer resort you visit has sewers and drains its sewage, untreated, into a stagnant pool or lake, and is taking its water supply from such lake, or uses shallow wells near the same, it is a mighty good place to stay away from. Also, when you go in bathing be careful to notice that no drains or sewers empty their contents in the near vicinity. Garbage Disposal.—At some resorts, more especially the smaller ones, garbage and refuse of all kinds are hauled a short distance away from the cottages and dumped. Such places breed flies and pollute the air. Garbage should be disposed of daily, and in small places in the country is frequently buried, which is a safe and sanitary disposition. Finally, if the general sanitary conditions are bad, pass such a place by. It is better to be safe than sorry. Walnut Tree 48 Bell Tower A church bell hung on a walnut tree at Therfield, England, which for 40 years had summoned the villagers to divine service, has been taken down and now forms part of a peal in the newly erected tower of the church. When the present church was erected a tower could not be built owing to lack of funds and a bell from the old church was hung on the walnut tree, which is near the church. The Key. "And where," my fellow citizens" appealed the political speaker, "can we find an instrument so fit, so delicate, so adjustable, and at the same time so unassuming and popular that it will unlock every department of state for the benefit of the people?"

Latham of Jackson, Mich., Arrived in the City Friday, June 7—Representing the Mississippi Taft Delegation—Brilliant Young Lawyer—Alumnus of Jackson College, Jackson, Miss., and of the Warden Law School of Nashville, Tenn. Hon. W. J. Latham is in the city, representing the Taft state delegation from Mississippi. He is one of the most brilliant lawyers of the state. He represented the delegates to the national convention in 1908. So successful was he, and so ably did he handle his case before the committee, that he was highly complimented by the chairman and other representatives of the committee. His successful work gained him a wide reputation throughout the state and now he stands head and shoulder as the lead A. B. HON, W. J. LATHAM; ing lawyer in his community. Mr. Latham is intimately associated with National Committeeman Moseley, and all the business of arranging for contests and other matters of importance are entrusted to him. He is a member of many of the fraternal organizations of his state and legal advisor of quite a number of them; also attorney and promoter of a bank, and the only straight life insurance company operated by Negroes, with a capital of $50,000. He won a very important case before the state supreme court against a move of the white Knights of Pythias, who attempted to deny the right of the Negroes of the state the use of the name of the order. This decision gave him much prestige and standing before the high court. Mr. Latham is an alumnus of the class of '93 of Jackson College, Jackson, Miss., and of the Walden Law School of Nashville, Tenn., 1902. The Defender was much pleased to have him visit the office, as he is a very affable and congenial gentleman, possessing all of those qualities which are essential to the success of a lawyer. In the spare moments from his busy work he expects to take in the sights of this wonderful and beautiful city. MORRIS BLOOM IN LIGHTNING CHANGE MOVEMENT One evening this week, between the hours of 9:15 and 10, belts, just 45 minutes, 171 people "pressed the mahogany" of the "Illinois Buffet," northeast corner of State and 37th street, for the "cheer of the gods," and not a soul was disappointed. This was at the rate of 3 36-45 of a man a minute. Some hustling, that! What? Morris himself was the dispenser and everyone within the vicinity of 37th and State likes him. He wears a smile you can't chase off with a cannon, always has the glad word on tap, dresses neat and in vogue, occasionally wears a tiny "stone" in his linen that looks like a sunbeam chasing the morning star, and will tell anyone seeking the information that the "trade of colored gentlemen is the most pleasant on earth.

Woodard, 4828 Armour avenue, strolled into the Keystone hotel to look the boys over. He had hardly entered the lobby when Mr. John Trott walked up and said: "Jim, I have a present for you. You remember you spoke about your being detected every time you stay out late?" "Yes," said Jim. "What have you got?" "Here is a pair of La Partitus to go in the bottom of your shoes; when you go up the stairs the strain or a stamp of the foot on the landing will not be heard." Poor Jim tried it and, believe us, he was caught while putting his key in the door. For the "darn" thing, as Mr. Woodard said, made his feet swell in such a manner that he had to have his wife use his shaving razor to release his feet from his shoes. In discussing the affair to a Defender reporter, Mr. Woodard said: "I would not mind the affair so much if I did not take my shoes off in the hotel, where the fellows guyed me about odors, etc. Take it from me, Mr. Reporter, never again will I accept any more presents from any one without the approval of the madam."

Ants that frequent gardens or houses may be destroyed by taking flour of brimstone one-half pound and potash four ounces, and set them in an iron or earthen pan over the fire until dissolved and united; afterwards beat them to a powder and infuse a little of the powder in water, and wherever you sprinkle it the ants will fly to the place. The fewer foods we eat together at a single meal the better, from the health standpoint; of that there can be no reasonable doubt. The poor man who can afford but a few simple dishes is far better off, in reality, than the rich man with his extensive "course dinners"—as many millionaires have found out when they are reducing to living on milk for a while. Pewishness, if indulged in too often, brings on a sort of permanent "grouch." If we allow ourselves to get irritated and disagreeable over infinitesimal troubles, pretty soon everything that doesn't go just our way will be regarded as a particular slam of fate, and we will get the fixed idea that life is treating us very badly indeed. Ever since the battle of Waterloo the Rothschilds have been the actual rulers at Europe, and the European nations are so in debt to them that it would be impossible ever to pay them off.

The sad news of the death of our greatly esteemed friend and public benefactor, Mr. Jackson Gordon, a long and honorable resident of Chicago, came as a great surprise bringing sorrow to the hearts of all who knew him, and he was well known, perhaps more extensively than many eminent Negroes. His life was long and useful. He was intensely racial. He had a principle, both in precept and example that made him a staunch lover of ideals. He had a purpose in life. To be a man to have friends, to be independent, and to be well known by leading men and women are evidences that Jackson Gordon possessed a rare personality. He was one of the members of the Tatt Club of 1908, and his active and engaging manner in that memorable campaign mark him as one of Chicago's progressive colored citizens. He has always been active in racial affairs, and contributed generously of his means to advance any cause that merited favorable support. He was active in civic life of the race, a leader in lodge, church, club and state. He was a success. He earned well his honors, and wore them with dignity becoming those entrusted to carry forward great designs to successful issue. All who knew him loved him, none named him but to praise. Such is the general conception of the character and life of him, whose mortal remains lie silent here never to speak again, or assume his accustomed place among the living. Respectfully, TAFT COMMITTEE, Dr. M. A. Majors, J. Gray Lucas, Attorney. S. B. Turner, Editor. PRODUCTS OF TEXAS. Two Young Men Invent Electrical Device.

Never try to tell anything to a boy who has gone to these modern public schools. Why, those institutions of learning teach more things that you ever heard of when you were young, that you've never heard of since you were not young. Here's a modern instance: A six-year-old boy was taken to the zoo last Sunday by his forty-year-old father. They saw the elephant, they saw the monkeys, they saw the ox. Finally they got to the ornithological collection. The kid noticed an interesting bird in the eagle cage, and he asked: "Papa, what's that bird?" Papa looked at the label and replied, "That is an Austrian eagle." Australian eagle. "G'wan!" said the boy; "it ain't no such thing." "Yes it is—it says so in the catalogue." "I don't care what it says in th' catalogue. I got eyes. This here bird ain't got but one head. Th' Austrian eagle has two heads, and I know fer I've saw a pitcher of it on flings!" Considerable Begonia. Mrs. Frank Ireland of Wilton, Me, has a begonia which she thinks cannot be beaten for size in the state. The plant is seven feet and one inch tall and the stalk is two inches in diameter at the base. It began to blossom in last month and has blossomed continuously since. There are now 20 pln* and white cluster blossoms on the plant. Gave Name to All. "The Bridge of the Seas" is the striking name which Pindar gives to the narrow isthmus which separates the Gulf of Corinth from the Aegean sea. It is one of the most interesting strips of soil on the five continents. It is the isthmus of all the world; for from its Greek name Isthmia, every other isthmus has been named. Killed With Billiard Ball M. Lefant and M. Mulfant in September, 1843, quarreled over billiards and forthwith selected the balls of that game for a duel. They drew lots for the first throw. Melfant won, and so accurate was his aim that his misall struck Lefant in the forehead, killing him instantly. What a Woman Knows Men think that women always talk about men when they are alone, says a writer in Harper's Bazar. Would that that were true! For women are never so interesting as when they discuss the single aspect which men show to women, for that is the only subject that women know. Inevitable Result.

But the Buxom Widow's New Husband Wrote Just What She Had Taught Him. A buxom and winsome widow decided to continue her late husband's business (wholesale meat purveyor), and appointed his confidential and reliable man, one John Jinx, as her manager. John, though an astute and clever business man, could heither read nor write. The widow partly cured him of the latter defect by teaching him to write: "Settied, John Jinx," when giving a receipt for accounts paid to him. The business improved and prospered, as likewise did the amatory feelings between the widow and John, the latter fructifying in a proposal and acceptance of marriage. After the usual preliminaries the ceremony took place, followed by an adjournment to the vestry to complete the legal formalities. The necessary particulars were duly entered in the marriage register, and happy John was the first asked to sign John, somewhat blushing, took pen in hand, and clearly and unmistakably wrote as his signature in the register: "Settled, John Jinx." Change In Doll Industry The doll industry in Germany is now commencing to make the "character doll" in restricted numbers. The model is made by an artist, and the molds are then copied from this model. The painting of these dolls is done with especial care, and, consequently, their price is considerably higher than that of the commoner type of doll. Condensation.

What better "dark horse" could they have on their mind. They can be very smart. Than our own candidate Booker T.2 PRESIDENT TAFT To Succeed Himself—If Not, Why Not? If not, why not, that's the question. By all the traditions of usage and custom, the unwritten law of parties that follows up and envelops like a mandate the tried and proven servant of government, who, during a first term of the presidency, has faced unilinchingly and with saneness and wisdom the unsparing light that shines about the presidential chair, a renomination and subsequent triumphant election is coming to him. It cannot be denied his statesmanship has been and is of the brand marked "Safe and Sound," broad as the people, and considerate of the rights of every section. He has known no particular race or individual as, led by the impulses required of the big responsibilities attaching to his office, he has, in his administrative capacity, enforced the law, or in his advisory duties, as expressed in his messages to congress, blazed the way, and urged the course best suited—straight and narrow—as he saw it, to safeguard and strengthen the props sustaining the future liberties and happiness of the American people. The genius of his mental and patriotic perspective is to construction, build up. He believes in law—sound and just—not anarchy; for a square deal in fact, instead of a mere jingle of words, linguistic pyrotechnic to catch the thoughtless and emotional. In those matters peculiarly affecting and appealing to the members of our own race, he has seemed to be moved by a feeling, when occasion or condition called for it, to treat and recommend for our encouragement and welfare, the considerations due us. Not because of our race strain or the handicap of previous conditions, but because we were American citizens, entitled, when feasible, and in every section to the things due citizens of the country, no more, no less. Character, qualification, clean us and decent living, no matter the color of the hide that enoses it, has never yet appealed in vain to William Howard Taft, nor never will. In a word, take him for all and all he is a man, and the man, or men, who urge him with being a trick- opportunist, a "bargain h self as the final vision, hat, and they know it has no doubt of Mr. and it earnestly should it Was by a mousing owl hawked at and killed." We will remember that God reigns and the government at Washington still lives. The government of the United States, the object lesson for the nations, is not dependent upon individual excellence or the cohesive force of party for a future. Principles—sound, just and broad, are mighty hard to down or clamp the toe hold on. Has anyone seen spring? The fun begins on Tuesday. What every Chicagoan says, "Your first visit here—how do you like our city?" Judging from the number of cafes springing up one would think that every one eats away from home. Kissing is one way of removing paint—of course this recipe wont help much in house cleaning. We have quite a crop of sweet girl graduates this year, so there is no excuse for "The Press" or any of his colleagues remaining bachelors. If the people who are in the habit of saying "I told you so" would tell us now and not wait until after a man is nominated, we would be more likely to believe them. Hon. Nick Childs, editor of Topeka Plaindealer, was seen smiling around convention hall on yesterday. He thinks well of the fight and says the best man will win. As we recall it the first shovel full of earth for the new Y. M. C. A. was turned over several weeks ago, somebody will have to roll up their sleeves and turn up a few more before we can lay the corner stone. The Hon. Booker T. Washington was in the city a few days this week, having attended a number of commencement exercises all through the north. No school, college or university in the land but what welcomes the greatest of all educators. When buying at Siegel & Cooper's don't forget to cast a vote for Provident hospital; it costs you nothing and it may be the means of getting for that worthy institution the large sum of money that is offered charitable places receiving the greatest number of votes. As flies gather around a jar of molasses, so do politicians of every caliber swarm around the political pot, particularly if that pot contains coin of the realm, but unlike flies they do not take some and leave some, but take all they can then make it their business to see that no one else gets any. We refer to the greediness of some members of our race who are in a position to see that all who are deserving be given a portion of the spoils, but now they put a little knock here and there, thinking to strengthen themselves, and their friends are the losers. They do not seem to see that they are hurting the very cause for which they claim to stand. Stop this continual knocking and extend the glad and helping hand to one another, remembering there always comes a day of reckoning. Money makes the wheels go round, there is scarcely a thing that it will not purchase, everyone is honest to a degree, the lowest and the highest have their price. Senator Lorimer has gone through five and water the past year or two, has been accused of everything in the category, his character and standing bemirmed, all because it was said money was used to purchase his seat in the senate. Today money is spent lavishly by our two Republican candidates for the presidency, is there any big noise made about it? Is there any question as to where the money is coming from or for what it is to be used? Is it not a case of a distinction without a difference? What is good for one man seems to be bad for another. The findings in the Lorimer case proved him innocent but at what cost? The public opinion is easily molded by the press for good or for evil, but the right thinking man or woman will hear both sides before passing judgment. Some two years ago when the attention of the world was called to Reno on account of the big fight there was a storm of protest from the supposedly better element. They declared it was a shame and a disgrace to allow in civilized America such an exhibition of brutality. True prize fights are not elevating, but they do try to make them a clean manly sport. The attention of the world is now called to two other fighters, politically, President Taft and Theodore Roosevelt, and every self-respecting American citizen must feel a degree of shame at the disgraceful fight for the nomination now being waged. Here are two men but a short time ago inseparable friends, now because both happen to want the same thing they are bitter enemies. Both being experts at mud throwing, the reading public are regaled each morning with some new and startling reason why one or the other is not fitted for the post. Of two evils which is the greater? While in the matter of hotels Chicago is far behind many other large cities, we have hundreds of desirable rooming houses and many families who take well recommended guests. But how are these places to be found? A stranger coming to the city must inquire of individuals and be sent from place to place before finding what he wants. If you have something to dispose of whether it be a box of souls or a room let the public know of. Through the press; there is no question about advert- naging ee- Tribune was in receipt of a communication from a North Carolina representative to the convention asking for the names of some of the good colored hotels in the city. The letter was referred to the Defender. The representative in question takes our weekly papers, but as the majority of our people fail to advertise, was unable to make a selection. You will see column after column in our daily papers of rooms, flats, etc., to rent. Are we less progressive? In Wagner county, Oklahoma, the Republican party endorsed the infamous grandfather clause, which deprives the majority of the Negroes the right to vote. This from our own dear Republican party, the party which has always claimed to be the special protector and friend of the Negro. And yet they want our vote whenever they think they need it, and if it so happens that they think their success at the poles in the southern states will be greater by joining in the popular southern howl against the Negro, over they flop and engage in depriving him of his civil rights quite as industriously as the Democratic party. This paper has always advocated sticking by the party that sticks by us, we have never looked to the Democratic party for anything owing to their attitude in the past. Today they are beginning to see things in a different light, and in a small way are giving us recognition, but the party that holds out the olive branch with apparently no strings to it is the Socialist party. The Negro is no longer a tool, he is here to stay and must be reckoned with. And the quicker the parties that be find this out the better for them. OIL `POWER ON THE OCEAN Success of Internal Combustion Engine May Cause Revolution In Shipping Industry. A great revolution in the shipping industry probably unequaled in any period of its history, was predicted in a recent interview in London by Sir Marcus Samuel, head of the Shell Trading and Transport company, owing to the success of the internal combustion engine as a motive power for vessels. "It insures," he said, "a saving in cost and a great saving of space, weight and crew. Cleanliness would be enhanced by the use of passengers. It would insure safety from boiler explosions and spontaneous combustion and many other advantages. "Those who argue about the increased cost of oil do not understand. You must remember that one ton of oil is equal to four tons of coal and that the larger power internal combustion engine makes for greater economy in using oil. I think it is a great pity the United States, with its immense size, is not taking a more active part in the development of the internal combustion engine and that the largest oil company has not done more to encourage the trade. "As an instance, this oil company went to Roumania, but from one point of view it was singularly unsuccessful. The production after some years' working reached an average of about fifteen thousand tons a month. We went there years later and our production is 50,000 tons a month. I have always maintained that the oil supply of the world is more likely to be met in the Borneo fields than in any other. There we have unlimited supplies, so the question of prohibitive cost need not enter into the reckonings of the maintenance of motor driven vessels." WAS SAVED BY THE DOCTORS Victim of Robbery Recovered Because the Physiolans Didn't Probe for the Bullets. The expert medical witness had just descended from the stand when a recess was announced in the criminal court and so he paused for a few moments to chat with Judge Ralph S. Lattshaw, who dearly delights in twitting the medicos. "Whenever I see a doctor on the stand," related the judge, "I am forcibly reminded of an experience when I was an assistant prosecuting attorney many years ago. "A storekeeper on East Ninth street was shot by robbers when he refused to open his cash drawer. Four bullets found him as their mark and when officers arrived on the scene he was lying on the floor, dead to all outward appearances. Doctors, who had hurried to the store, took a look at him, shook their heads and went away. Not one of them offered to probe for the bullets. "And do you know," smiled the judge to the doctor, "that what was saved him. The storekeeper recovered and is in business to this very day. He still carries the bullets, one of them in his head. Now what would have happened to him, doctor, if they had probed for the bullets?" But by this time the expert was gone—Kansas City Journal. Fish-Catching Cat. William Grant of Northampton, Mass., owns a cat that furnishes him with fresh fish. The cat enjoys sitting at the edge of her owner's ice pond, it is said, and scooping up unyairy fish with her paw. The cat has brought fresh fish to the house several times. Work of the Unhonored Let George Elliot speak: "The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts, and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life and rest in unvisited tombs." As to the Poor The poor may not be getting poorer, but they are certainly getting less satisfied with their poverty. Advantage of Electricity. Electricity can not be frozen, neither can it be ultaterated. It works equally well in cold days.

The Chicago Defender One Year 50 Cents MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC "ALL PASSES, ART ALONE ENDURES" The Past Week at the Chicago Theatres—Notes of the Profession All Around the World.'—By Minnie Adams. The last half of the week, beginning Thursday, June 6, gave for the entertainment of the public Robert Everest and his company of monkeys which he had trained to do many amusing tricks with much intelligence. Esmerelaida is one of the world's greatest lady xylophonists; she plays from grand opera down to ragtime with equal ease and expression. Lowell and Esther Drew gave quite a laughable farce, "At the Drug Store," and received much recognition. Bertie Fowler, a very pleasing comedienne, whose art of mimicry was well liked. Johnny Fogarty and the "Manicure Maldens" finished their week with flying colors. This is an exceptionally clever company of singers and dancers and merit the aplause given them. The first half of the present week, Monday, June 10, contained Rogers and Wiley, a pair of vaudeville favorites. These people are very clever and we long for the day to come when they will be clever enough to see the need of new costumes and a new act. Adler and Arline, in an act, "A New Idea," were fine and billed, they lived up to it. Gerard and Gardner, in a farcical playlet, "Dooley and the Diamond," are great; they keep the house in an unroar. Morrisiss and Hanlon in a singing and talking act were good and displayed much musical ability. These performers use throughout their act only songs of their own composition. The Four Nelson's are fair acrobats, but of late the Grand has had its share of acts acrobatic and everyone that can turn a somersault is no fit subject to be called an acrobat and booked in at the Grand, as some of the people who frequent this beautiful place of amusement want something that will enlighten them as well as cause a grim. This theater is noted for its excellent bills and it is to be hoped that its high standard will not be allowed to fall. THE MONOGRAM. This little "house of many laughs" gives to its patrons this week Hattle Garland, soubrette, who is good in her line of work, but fails to dress it. Not only do poor costumes have a bad effect on the performer's work, but lead the public to conclude that the house pays poor salaries or that the artist has no regard for the managers, the patrons nor in fact for themselves and thereby they cause a feeling of depreciation on all sides. Green, Pugh and Green, the entertaining trio, are with us again and holding their own, their act is lively and I might say clean, only for the joke about the tub, which would be better laid aside, and a trifle less of boldness in the lady's actions; she is too pretty to display such a trait and will make herself more popular without it. The young comedian of this trio is just as clever as ever, but for the sake of his future get an iron hand for his head as it is growing too fast and what a pity if it outgrows its natural size by reason of a little praise, given too early in life. "A hint to the wise is sufficient," and I know that the manager (Mr. Green) of the trio understands what to do. Fisher and Simmons are very good, they have some fine jokes, and dance well. Morton and Johnson are most classy in their work. Miss Johnson has a nice stage appearance and dresses well, but her voice of which she has plenty is in a deadful state. She is but a girl and it is a pity that she does not have something done along lines of culture for her voice, for in no time her vocal powers will be completely worn out. Mr. Morton of this team is one of the greatest men in his work and dress who has yet appeared at this play house, his smile is one of the pleasant things one wishes to see and the way he puts the songs to the people makes you feel pleased all over. 一 THE "WHITE ROSE." The above is the name of a pretty little playhouse being erected on State street near 35th. It is said to have the daintiest of interior decorations. With good management it should be successful, as it is well located. More important information later. MR. W. C.

Washington, D. C., June 14. On the green sward of the campus, under cloudless skies and surrounded by stately elms, 5,000 people witnessed the forty-third annual commencement exercises of historic Howard University last Wednesday. Diplomas were handed to one hundred and fifty-one graduates from the various departments, embracing the schools of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, law, theology, the Teachers' College and the College of Arts and Sciences. Seventy-nine certificates, covering other branches of the university, the Commercial College, the Academy, Nurse Training School and special courses, had previously been awarded, making in all two hundred and twenty young men and women started out this year to battle with the world for a life and a living. The classes of 1912 embraced the largest number of graduates turned out in any single year since the founding of the institution in 1869. The diplomas were awarded by Bishop W. P. Thirkield, president of the University, and his last public function in connection with the institution he is about to leave to take up the exalted duties entrusted to him by the Methodist Episcopal church took on the character of a farewell reception to the distinguished educator, who has done so much in the past six years to make Howard University equal to the best schools in the land for the higher training of men and women. In addition to the parchments handed to the graduates, the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon the Rev. Carl G. Doney, A. M., Ph. D., of the West Virginia Wesleyan University. The degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon Rev. W. Scott Wood, of Pittsburgh, Pa., and Rev. George Frazier Miller, of Brooklyn, N. Y. The degree of Master of Arts was conferred upon M. W. Connor, Jean Hamilton and W. J. Mundy. The music of the day was furnished by the university orchestra, under the painstaking leadership of Prof. Joseph H. Douglass, grandson of the immortal Frederick Douglass, who has brought this organization up to a high standard of efficiency. Its well-rendered strains were intermingled with the twittering of birds in the leafy branches that waved above the al fresco gathering. Mr. Lewis Emphasizes Physical Culture as an Aid to Education. The principal oration of the day was delivered by the Hon. William H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney-General of the United States. His address sparkled with the wholesome wit for which he is famous, and, while dealing liberally with the facts of history, sage philosophy and wise counsel usually spread before graduating classes, Mr. Lewis laid especial emphasis on the importance of physical training to the men and women who would acquire a symmetrical education and get the most out of life. Physical culture, he argued, is an indispensable aid to success. Bishop Thirkleid's Touching Valedic- tory. Perhaps the most touching episode of the eventful day was the "valedictory" of Bishop Thirkield as the official head of the university. After conferring the diplomas and degrees the retiring president voiced his heartfelt thanks for the many honors that had come to him during the six years of his incumbency here. The generous support he had received at the hands of the faculty, the student-body and citizens at large had been a source of strength to him and had enabled him to put his entire self into the work. Appreciating the high tribute paid him in giving the name "Thirkield Hall" to the new $90,000 science building, the Bishop hoped his life would be a vindication of the judgment of those who saw fit to thus honor him before his death. The attendance at the annual session of the Howard Alumni Association was the largest known in the history of the institution. Each of the classes, beginning with that of 1872, was well represented, and the grand march across the campus of this noble army of light and leading to the commencement field, was a highly impressive spectacle. The procession, including the president, faculty and graduating classes, together with the alumni, was fully a quarter of a mile long. Nearly every state in the union was represented, as were also some of the foreign countries. Rev. T. B. Livingston, of the class of 1901, came from St. Andres, South America. Ground was broken at 3 p. m. for the new gymnasium, which is to be located on the campus north of Miner Hall. Edward W. Turner, of the class of 71, had the honor of turning the first bit of turf, followed by Rev. D. E. Wiseman and the officers of the Alumni association. The spirted contest for officers of the association for the ensuing year resulted as follows: President, Dwight O. W. Holmes, of Baltimore; vice presidents, Rev. D. E. Wiseman, Judge G. W. Atkinson, Dr. W. A. Sinclair and Dr. A. M. Slowe, of Philadelphia; Dr. S. G. Elbert, of Wilmington, Del.; Shelby J.

The Supreme Court of the United States has set aside the decree of the Supreme Court of the state of Georgia, which enjoined Negro men from incorporating a lodge in that state under the name of Knights of Pythias.

There is much rejoicing in the ranks of the fraternal orders, and the Elks, who have a like case litigation, are heartened by the sign victory scored by the Pothians. Henry Lincoln Johnson, J. C.

Whitefield McKinley, collector of customs, has been able to have a large launch detailed by the Bureau of Navigation of the Department of Commerce and Labor, to patrol the Potomac and examine the various craft to see that the navigation laws are obeyed, looking to the safety of life and the protection of the vessels that ply the river in the vicinity of Washington. This is a big achievement for our ever watchful and energetic collector of the port. Bishop Thirkield preached his first sermon since his consecration as bishop at Asbury M. E. church Sunday night. On Monday night at Foundry M. E. church he was jointly with Bishop Earl Cranston the guest of honor at a mammoth reception tendered by the citizens of the district. President Taft was present and spoke. Bishop Thirkield will spend a portion of the summer at Northfield Center, Mass., taking up his new duties at New Orleans in the early fall. Bishop G. W. Clinton delivered an eloquent sermon Monday night at Galbraith A. M. E. Zion church, and participated in a race conference Tuesday at the home of Rev. S. L. Corrothers, 447 O street northwest.

Secretary John C, Dancy of the Zion Church Extension Board went to Philadelphia last week to take charge of his office. He will maintain his family residence here. President Taft gave renewed evidence of his deep interest in the education of the Negro last week by attending the meeting of the board of trustees at Hampton university, of which he is an active member. Dr. Arthur Leo Curtis, son of Dr. A. M. Curtis, who graduated from Howard Medical school last week, is to become an intern in Freedmen's hospital. S. H. Dudley confirms the report that he may retire from the comedy field after next season. His resplendent diamond and radiant smile will then shine forth from the vicinity of the box office as a producing manager on a large scale. His experience as a partner in the Barton and Wiswell theatrical corporation will stand him in good stead as the controlling factor in play houses in many of the principal cities of the country and a half dozen or so road shows. Mr. Dudley has not been south for several years, and it is his present plan to make a long farewell tour of that section next season. He will probably use his latest and biggest musical comedy success, "Dr. Beans from Boston," with a new play in reserve, the title of which is not yet disclosed. Mr. Dudley has faith in his chain-of-theaters project and believes it is to be the true solution of the Negro's advancement in the world of drama and song. Solving the Yolkless Egg Problem.

Intelligent African Natives Intelligent African Natives. A recently published book on Africa gives certain native tribes credit for greater intellectuality than has usually been ascribed to the negro race. "Every central African," it says, "is a born lawyer. Should the need arise, he can act as his own pleader, and set forth his case with fluency and lawyerlike adroitness." It will be remembered that Bishop Colenso also had a high opinion of the acumen of certain native Africans as biblical crilics. Edmund Burke's Fame Secure. Among the great men of the world few have been the subject of higher panegyric than Edmund Burke, and, on the whole, few have better deserved praise.

William Hazlitt. When Clay Pipes Were Popular. Justin McCarthy went to London in 1862 and found clay pipes in fashion. "It was thought quite the right thing for a man of fashion to appear in the broad day with a clay pipe in his mouth." He wrote. "Many a young man stuck a clay pipe in his mouth and pretended to be a real gentleman." Its Origin. Ham explained his complexion.

We are all too much inclined to get into ruts. For one thing it is easy. For another, some of us dislike doing the unusual for fear of being talked about or laughed at. Laziness, indifference, or self-consciousness holds us tight and fast in the same routine of living year in and year out. Women shut themselves out of much that is live and vital by not joining some of the woman's clubs that are now so important a part of life. They are shutting out whole universes when they confine themselves to one line of reading. Indeed, one can create many new worlds for herself by bringing into one's life new interests. It is one of the most effective ways of keep young. DEB YES! Goccanat Oil. European margarine factories, using coconut oil as a base, produce sixteen million pounds of this butter substitute a week.

Much to my surprise, Mr. Cable and Mr. Holmes were not picked for the Olympic team. I did not expect Howe to be as he was not known so well. But for the officials to pick two white men as supplementaries in the hammer throw event who have been heaten twice in the college meets by Mr. Cable and also trailed behind him in the Olympic try-out last Saturday looks to me like there was a little prejudice in regard to color. Mr. Sullivan says "Out of the thousand of names from which we have to select we find it very difficult." Maybe so in some cases but not in the case of Mr. Cable. The two white men selected were H. E. Marden and A. H. Tilley, both of Dartmouth. Here is where the steam roller comes in. In the Harvard-Dartmouth meet of May 11 the colored star won from his rivals and also beat Tilley's record of the year previous by 8 feet 3.25 inches. Harvard Men Cheer. 1. Again, Saturday, May 18, Mr. Cable went against Yale, winning the broad jump and the hammer-throw also. As both events were called at 3 p. m. the young man had no rest whatsoever, but with thousands of Harvard men cheering he sent the 16-pound hammer 154 97-100 feet. Two weeks later on Friday in the elimination trials of the intercollegiate meet at Philadelphia he made the best record of the day with a throw of 154 feet $11\frac{1}{2}$ inches. The next afternoon in the finals he went from both Tilley and Marden with a hurl of 162 feet $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches. One more week and the colored star won second place at the Olympic tryouts with Dartmouth last. Yet after all this sensational performance the wonderful little Hercules is to be left behind and the two whites who have been unable, with all their boasts that they could defeat him, are to be carried along to represent the United States providing that they agree to abide by the ruling regarding those carried as supplementaries. American Giants. The American Giants won from the Sunthers at the former's 39th street rounds Sunday by the score of 10 to 1. The game was hard fought up until the eighth inning when the colored boys got to Fred Schmidt for five in- field hits and a single, coupled with some fine exhibition of clever base running and scored five runs. The feature of the game was the control of Mr. Wickware' who struck out eleven men. The score: R. H. E. Am. Glants...01022005*10124 Gunthers...110000202-463 Meyers, the Indian backstop of the Glants, wouldn't let Zimmerman of the Cubs outhit him Monday. Meyers got a single, a double, a triple, and a homer against Chance's slab men. Although Ginchinati has gone to third place Marsans, the Cuban fielder, is playing a stellar game, very seldom going without a hit and some days getting three and four. Color Line Drawn Again. Several weeks ago the superintendent of Bereau Sunday school, Mr. R. Bell, made a formal application to e Cook County Sunday School Athletic association for membership in the junior department of their baseball league and sent it by mail. He immediately forwarded the nece- blanks and was given every en- engagement to get the team together. th he proceeded to do buxing forms and the money for entrance fees was sent to the association, but when he himself appeared in person they refused to enroll the team because they were colored and giving an offhanded excuse that the white boys wouldn't play because of what happened several years ago. Yet out to Washington park the colored teams not only draw well from their own race but three-fourths of the whites watching the ball games will be found watching our boys. The reason these white teams don't want to play is they are seared. Jack and Sam. An editorial in one of the leading daily papers of Boston Saturday, speaking of Jack Johnson's reference to himself being like Alexander the Great, said: "If our Sam had just a few more inches in height, a few more in reach and welgh a little more he would make Jack eat those words. No danger, if your Sam had those requirements he wouldn't be Sam Langford. Harry Drew will sail on the Finland with the American team for the Olympic games Friday at 9 a.m. The fast colored boy is looked to break some records as he is to run in both the 100 metre flat and 200 metre flat races. The Olympic Tryouts. Before 20,000 people who gathered in the Harvard Stadium, Cambridge, Mass, Saturday afternoon, Harry Drew, the fleet little colored youth of Springfield High school, not only equaled but beat out Ralph Craig of the University of Michigan, former intercollegiate champion, in sensational style. In the trial heats of the 100 metre dash, Craig won the first in :10 4-5. Drew won the third in :11. Only the first two in the trial heats qualified for the semifinals and the final. in the lead, which he kept winning not only a place on the American team, but equaling the record. The time in the final was :10 4:5, Craig again running second and Rice third. Inspired by the success, of Drew P. T. Howe, the fast quartermiller of Boston English High school, ran second in the 400 metre run, pushing D. B. Young, formerly of Amherst to make it in :49 1:5, much to the surprise of everyone, as the critics hadn't figured Howe in the running, although the colored lad on the 25th of May put the English High winners at South Framingham by taking both the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Mr. T. Cable, Harvard '13, was there again, being the only Harvard man to score twice. The colored Hercules took third in the running broad jump with a leap of 22 feet, 11½ inches. Although taking third at Cambridge, Cable's leap is just 2 inches better than the winner at the try-outs at Evanson. Cable in Second Place. Mr. Cable took second place in the hammer throw, making 157 feet 8 inches. It will be remembered that Mr. Cable was a member of the Yale-Harvard track team that journeyed across the water last summer engaging in a dual meet with Oxford and Cambridge. While this was going on in the east another colored athlete was winning at Evanston, Ill., where the western try-outs were held. Mr. F. L. Holmes of Chicago won the two events in which he entered, the standing high jump, making a jump of 5 feet 1½ inches and taking the hop, step and jump with a mark of 44 feet, 5½ inches. Mr. Holmes was a member of the Olympic team that competed in London in 1908. Moon Struck The moon was falling on the lake. "Dearest," he murmured. She sighed happily. The moon was still falling. His arm trembled slightly about her wrist. "I was just going to propose—" he ventured. "Oh," she sighed again, and hid her face on his shoulder. "That we get up and go home—" "Oh," she sighed again. The moon was falling rapidly. "In about four hours!" he ended triumphantly, bringing the other arm to bear. And the splash made by the moon was plainly audible 40 miles away. Logical Reasoning Thelma Smith, a little east side girl, has heard a great deal about the danger of contracting disease from handling articles belonging to others. She has been taught that she must not use the brushes and combs of other members of the family.

She glanced up and asked: "Honey, is you all gwine to stan" "Honey, is you all gwine to stan" dere while I tries 'em on?" The clerk answered: "Why, no. auntie: I'll move on if you wish it." She said: "Please do, honey, cause I'se white folks raised and I'se kinder skittish." -Chicago Post. Relic of Sebastopol.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER MOTHER SACRIFICES LIFE FOR CHILDREN Burns in Effort to Reach Little Boy and Baby Who Afterwards Are Saved. Kenosha, Wls.—A story of herism reached here the other day from New Munster, a village in the western part of Kenosha county. A mother was burned to death trying to save the lives of her two children. The little ones' escape was due primarily to the bravery of one of them—a small boy. Mrs. Johanna Kretschmer, twenty-six years of age, sent one of her older children to the village to buy a can of gasoline. The boy lost the cork to the can on the way home. When he THE WIND Tried to Fight Her Way Through the Flames. Tried to Fight Her Way Through the Flames. reached the house he left the can near a burning gasoline stove and went out to play. Two other children, a boy of five and a baby girl, eighteen months, were in the house. The gas from the can was exploded by stove heat and the house took fire. Mrs. Kretschmer was hanging clothes on a line in the yard. She pushed back to the house and tried to fight her way through the flames. She was overcome by the fumes and sank down in the midst of the fire. William Kersting, a neighbor, saw the house burning and went to the rescue. He forced his way to a hallway, where, although badly burned, he found and carried to safety the two unconscious children. It was learned later from the boy that when he saw his sister's life was threatened by the fire he carried her to the hallway, where both were overcome by the smoke. He is seriously burned. The coroner's jury, after returning a verdict of accidental death, added: "Mrs. Kretschmer gave her life for her children."

The dog, a large bull, attacked the child on the promises of Mrs. Hamilton. Another baby, Agnes Mackey, a cousin of Master Mullin, was playing with him when the dog appeared. The girl screamed, and Mrs. Mullin run out of her house, grabbed the dog by the collar and yanked it off and tossed it into the patch of weeds. She picked up the boy and ran for the house, little Mackey ahead of her. Mrs. Mullin staggered through the door and fell flat on her face. The dog followed and was snarling outside the door when an employee on the place appeared with a gun and shot the animal.

WAS MIRED IN SAND Western Cow-Puncher Visiting on Long Island Shows Natives How to Use Rope When He Sees Fish in Surf. New York.—Lassong a whale from the beach at Arverne, L. I., was the feat the other day of John Ehrhart, a young man visiting the Arverne lifesavers, when the great sea mammal was sighted. Nearly over the threshing tail of the monster Ehrhart, who said he once punched cattle in the west, dropped his noose and the life-savers tied their catch to a spile driven in the sand. Later in the day thousands visited the whale, as the fine weather drew throngs to the shore, and congratulated Bruce Smith, fourteen years old, who first saw the visitor from the depths spouting close in shore and who will not a tidy sum from the sale of the blubber and whale bone, he expects. Capt. William Rhlheinht of Arverne life-savers, was dumfounded at his breakfast when young Smith rushed in shouting: "Thar she blows! Thar she blows!" in true New Bedford fashion. At first he thought the boy, whom he knew well, had gone crazy, but shading his eyes with his hands, he looked down the beach, and, sure enough, there were the little geysers that denote a whale's presence, curling over the combs on the beach. "Roust all hands out, and we'll have her ashore for the boy," ordered the captain. Soon the life-savers were gathered along the beach opposite the whale.

Sent the Loop Circling About the Broad Tail. watching its impotent struggle to free itself from a depression in the sand. in its eagerness to follow a school of little fish, which a whale scoops into its great mouth for food, it had swam too far inshore and had got over a tiny bar. Now its great tall swished impotently and it buried itself deeper in its little hole in the sand every moment. "Get a line and I will rope the critter," offered Ehrbart, who had slept over night in the life-saving station. Calmly he spliced and tied a coarse piece of rope that a man brought from the boathouse. At the first cast, standing above his knees in the water, the erstwhile cowboy sent the loop circling about the broad tail of the whale and a cheer went up as many hands drew the knot tight. The whale's gigantic throws and hauls were in vain. It was tied to a spike and left for the tide to strand when it went out. Exposure to the air caused the whale soon to gasp its life away. It was about twenty feet long and weighed about two tons. A Little Too Large Massillon, O.-D. R. Akey built a chicken coop in spare hours in his fish market. He worked with hammer and saw until late at night, and was inflated with pride, when he exhibited the piece of architecture to his friends. They thought it wonderful until Akey undertook to remove it from his market, when he found that it was too large by several feet to go through the door. Akey was forced to call in carpenters, who removed part of the side of the building before the chicken coop was finally liberated. Complete Bridge Missing. Dayton, O.—The county bridge near the paper mill canal locks at West Carrollton, valued at $600, is lost, strayed or stolen.

As the great difficulty which most People meet with in regard to bank notes 1s that of being able to keep them, It will probably come as a sur- prise to many to learn there are yet others for wom the difficulty Is how to get rid of tem. The difficulties en- talled In destroying such paper are well illustrated {n a very interesting article upon paper destruction by the German Imperial printers, the Kansas City Journal says, ‘The methods previously available were three—burning, boiling and pulp- ing. In the first process it has been found that even where a special fur hace has been used it has not infre- quently happened that while the outer Parts of packets were destroyed nome of the contents were not even singed. Im the case of stamped or cummed pa- er the matter was still woree, for the packets baked together into solid blocks, the Interiors of which were quite Intact. In the second process the paper for destruction Is placed in Iron bollera; lye {8 added and the contents then ub- Jected to the prolonged action of Steam, As a destructive process for small quantities thisris quite effectual, as is also that of pulping, a process in which the paper is cut up by revolv- ing knives in water. In both of these cases there Is, how- ‘ever, another difficulty—thut of dispos Ing of the product. It cannot casily be sold, It will not pay to transport ‘snd on hand the sodden, stodgy mass quickly goes bad. The German Imperial printers there fore decided to try a new way—grind- ing it up dry. To this end they In- stalled a forty horse power mill, which dy a procesr of hurling, crushing and tearing reduces the paper to an almost Powderiike form, in which it passos through a sievé fato a collecting cham- ber beneath the mill ready for pack ing. This, however, was accompanied by a very objectionable feature, especially when dealing with gummed paper in the grinding. Such a dust was created that though the workmen engnged Wore protectors, it yet persistently filled and blocked thelr eyes and nos trils, As the work of packing was on this account not only unhealthy, unwilling ly performed and also uneconomical efforts were made to find some me chanical means of doing tt. Difficnlty after difficulty arose. Among such may be mentioned that a spiral feder having becn devised t Was found that the paper would some times form into balls solid as block: of wood, which defied the efforts tc move them by the 20-horse power mo tor, The imperial printers, therefore, are now to be congratulated upon possess ing 2 machine perfect in its kind. I! taKes the paper, grinds it up to any size desired and bags it. Finally, though, the paper in thi form fetches but little on account o! its consequent shortness of fiber, the mill is yet not only paying off the tak tial outlay, but is also saving som: $260 a year in workmen's wages.

Tt may have a deeper meaning than you can fathom. Just do it and let it Bo at that. “The object of drill and discipline Is not to worry you. The captain Is not sitting up all night to invent contrap- Uions to persecute you. “If you are weak and easily thrown off your base, get back into control of yourself as quickly as you can. If you are the kind that boils over at the slightest rubbing the wrong way, put up the bluff timt you are cool as a cu- cumber, Disguise your anger. “Don't stay mad long; it uses up too much energy, Save your energy 28 you would ammunition, Remember that It ism sign of strength to hide your tem- per.

On the other hand. don’t limp off, cussing out your captain, thus ad. vertising that you are all in.’ Just dis apnear: evaporate. “Don't roll up your shirt sleeves un. less you are doing dirty work and Want them kept clean.

It’s the brains in the head, not in the heels It's the stuf out of which captains are made, When you're in the trenches atid you’ can't hear yourself think for the rattle, it tells you when to cease firing and when to dash forward, stooping low to the ground until you come to the next cover, Initiative telsl you when you're to ‘follow me.’ Tt dopes out the plan. It carries it out. Initiative is the happy thought put into action, “Obedience, nerve an initiative. but the greatest of these is initiative.” Mother's Only Chance. John, the twelve-year-old son of a widely known corporation lawyer of Kansas City whose public life often brings his picture in the daily press, caused his father much amusement and pride when he returned home from school the other night. Running tc his father the boy pointed to a picture of himself printed in the daily paper. “Pa, 1 guess I can get my picture in the paper, too." the boy proudly sald. “I won the first prize in the school debate.” The boy's mother came up and laughingly said: “Well, I do not think that is fair, Your papa has his pic ture in the paper so many times, and here you begin. What can I do to get my picture published?” ‘The boy pondered a moment and then said: “Well, mama, I guess you will have to start taking patent medi: cine. You can get your picture in the paper then.” ‘Sryina 26 Obey Ordara: Hie was a budding author, and his wife, determined that his train of thought sbould not be trammeled by domestic worries, said to the now maid: “Now, Jane, if you want any- thing, always come to me, Never go to Mr. Bookmaker unless I am out.” A few days later there was a knock at Mr. Bookmaker's study door, and in reply to the usual “C@ine!” ‘he new maid, fresh and pretty, appeared. “Please, sir,” she sald, “Mrs. Book- maker sald I was never to disturb you unless she was out.” : “Well?” said Mr. Bookmaker, inquir- ingly. “She's out, sir."—Lippincott’s ‘Maga- zine.

This thought which has so often passed through my mind was recalled by a sentence written by Sir Francis Younghusband in a book describing Kasbmir: “Early in September the at- mosphere has been freshened and cooled by the rains which, though they fall lightly in the valley itself, are often heavy in the surrounding moun- tains, The sun ts still powerful in the daytime and the sky unusally bright and clear, But the monsoon ‘will often make a few final efforts. One such day I noted when yolumin- ous masses of cloud rolled up behind the Pir Panjal to a helght of twenty- five or thirty thousand feet, their west- ern edges aglow from the setting sun and sbowing clear and distinct against the background of pinky blue sky. while the great main volume remain: ed dark, heavy and somber, with now and then a split of lightning flashing out, and on the far side, away from the setting sun, threatening tentacles stretched out across the valley in un- availing effort to reach the mountains on the northern side. Under these mighty monsoon masses even the great mountains looked dwarfed and puny. It was a great and final effort of that stupendous natural phenomen- on which bears the waters of the In- dian ocean to beat upon the Hime- taya." Nothing could give to people who have never seen a mighty range of mountains a better idea of their ap- pearance than the great clouds that pile themselves just above the distant Isndscape. ‘The soft, rounded sum: mits are more beautiful than the sharp outlines of the mountain ridges, but the mountains are so often veiled in clouds that the similarity of effect 1s striking and often in the nefghbor- hood of some great snow covered range one §s uncertain whether it fs the actual heights or the clouds that ‘one perceives from a distance.
