COLORED GIRL GRADUATES FROM WELLESLEY. Won Way Trough College—Elected a "Wellesley Scholar"—Beats Rivals—Jane Addams Her Idol. Tuesday at 11 o'clock, Miss Ethel Caution-Davis was graduated from Wellesley College, at Wellesley, Mass., one of the finest girls' schools in this country. Miss Caution-Davis is a credit to the Negro race, having been elected a "Wellesley Scholar," a degree being conferred only on the best students. The most remarkable thing is that this exceptionally bright young woman has won her way through college on scholarships which have been competitive. This means that the young woman has outdistanced her rivals for honors. Besides this, the out-door sports at the college attracted her. Miss Caution-Davis is a runner and a good jumper, having won the coveted "W" and her class numerals, "1912," in her junior year and again this spring in her senior year, being one of the three seniors to win the "W." Miss Caution-Davis is the only colored woman at the institution and is very highly thought of by the faculty and students, who look upon her as one of Wellesley's brightest girls. She was eligible to the Greek societies, but her time being occured never joined any. Miss Caution-Davis is also a graduate of the Girls' Latin School of Boston. When seen by a Defender reporter she said she would go south to, teach and engage in settlement work, and also remarked, "It is not money I am after. My ambition is to be the Jane Addams of the colored race. LARGE GRADUATING CLASS A Large Crowd Witnesses Exercises at the Raymond School at the Raymond School. The annual graduating exercises of the Raymond School, 36th and Wabash avenue, were held Thursday afternoon. The relatives and friends of the pupils turned out in large numbers.

The South Carolina delegation, headed by Major J. H. Fordham, have their headquarters at the residence of Mrs. H. P. Lee, 3159 State street. Mrs. Lee is a former South Carolina herself and in the party stopping at her residence she has met many of her former friends. In the party beside the Major are the following: W. S. Dixon, Barnwell, S. C.; F. J. Young, Spartanburg, S. C.; Tom Williams, Newberry, S. C.; L. C. Scott, Eastover, S. C.; J. S. Collins, Eastover, S. C.; H. B. Thomas, Orangeburg, S.

MISS BEATRICE LEE GRADUATES Miss Beatrice Lee, the only daughter of Prof. and Mrs. S. I. Lee of 5259 Dearborn street, was graduated from Wendell Phillips High school June 20, having received eighteen and two-tenths credits, a fine record for four years' work, sixteen credits being the number required to graduate. ```markdown ``` A Fearless, HONEST CHAMPION of the People In decided contrast to the splendid history that the Negro delegates are making at the National convention is the dirty, unscrupulous, contemptible work of the Hyde Park Improvement Protective club. This band of South Carolina Red-Shlitters, Georgia Kluklux and bad men in general have had the attention of the Chicago Defender before. This small coterie of no-account Caucasians, as a last resort, are endeavoring to separate the children in the schools in that section. We have discussed this matter at length before but their latest meeting, Friday evening, June 14, gives cause for this story. Under the name of P. N. Schmit as secretary postal cards were sent broadcast in Hyde Park. The card reads as follows: The Card of Invitation. Dear Sir: You, your friends, and especially the ladies, are cordially invited by the Board of Directors to attend the members of the club and other citizens and ladies in Grand Bivd Hall, N. W. Cor. Grand Bivd and 47th St., next Friday evening at 8 o'clock. FOR THE PURPOSE lst. To hear reports of various committees. 2nd. To hear Hon. St. Mayer, Hon. T. K. Long, Hon. W. O. Nance and Hon. John H. W. Nance, on improvements. 7th Wards, speak on improvements. Other gentlemen will speak in favor of semur schools for negro children, also housing for negro children, houses or flats with a view or selling out to their white neighbors at a profit. HYDE PARK IMPROVEMENT PROTECTIVE CLUB, P. N. SCHMIT, Secretary, June 12, 1912. Delegates—60 Rebels. There were sixty-six present at this meeting and we are surprised to note that such men as John H. Helwig, whom the Defender supported for alderman, and the Hon. Si Mayer, secretary of the police department, who made such a pathetic speech in praise of the Negro at a recent meeting the Fellowship club at Abraham Lincoln Center. This meeting was not the secret that it was supposed to be. The young progressive Negroes of the city of Chicago were bitter in their denunciation of the movement and it was only through the efforts of R. S. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender, that a body of them did not move upon the hall that night. The readers of the Chicago Defender are urged to write letters of protest to Mayor Harrison, and in writing these letters we ask that they use the plainest kind of English. Give his honor to understand that the consensus of the colored citizens of the city of Chicago is that he should use his authority as a chief executive of this city to abolish this dirty, race-disturbing and no-account organization. The readers of the Defender need not stop there. Appeal to Gov. Deneen. Another stamp will carry a letter of protest to his honor, Gov. Chas. S. Deneen. Gov. Deneen, always fair minded, no doubt will investigate the matter. But a stop must be put to this outrageous movement by a set of white rascals in Hyde Park who do not amount to anything in their own race, never did anything for anyone and never will. We are reminded that in 1643 England banished to South Carolina a class of men such as these. The colored citizens of Illinois, and Chicago in particular, have played too important a part in the affairs, religious, commercial and otherwise, to be subjected for a moment to such a movement as this. Mayor Harrison, the city council, Gov. Charles S. Deneen and other officials in Illinois are called upon in the name of humanity to abolish the Hyde Park Improvement Protective Club. There shall be no "jim crow" schools in Chicago, the Hyde Park Improvement Protective Club notwithstanding. The Negroes in Chicago are not an experiment; they are true and tried and they will not tolerate this mad idea of a lot of disgruntled southern nobodies. MPP Buffalo and camel races are among the sports which give local color to the amusements provided for guests in Egyptian hotels. The Chicago Defender. 一 AT MRS. H. P. LEE'S.

RACE RIGHTS MEETING AT BETHEL CHURCH Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Ex-President of the United States, Rev. R. C. Ransom and Hon.

John R. Marshall Escorts Ex-President—A Splendid Musical Number—Assistant Chief of Police Schuetter in Charge of Police—Noted Visitor Under Heavy Guard—Addresses of Rev. Ransome and Mr. Crews Masterpieces of Oratory—Banquet Follows Meeting. The Race Right meeting at Bethel A. M. E. church Monday evening was one of the events of the week. Rev. R. C. Ransom of New York and the Hon. Nelson Crews of Kansas City were the principal speakers and enthusiasm and interest were added by a visit from former President Theodore Roosevelt. Interest had been aroused in this meeting for many weeks past and long before the hour of seven, when it was announced that the doors would be open, a vast throne clamored for admission. But true to a previous statement from the pastor, admission was only by ticket and no more were allowed inside than there were accommodations for. Exercises Begin Promptly. The exercises began promptly at eight o'clock. The pastor introduced as the chairman of the evening Mr. Adelbert H. Roberts. The invocation was by Rev. J. S. Woods of Aurora, followed by "The Rosary" by our robust tenor, George Garner Jr. Mr. Roberts was in his usual happy vein. He took the political struggle as a theme and told of the Negro's part in politics for the past fifty years. He spoke of the wonderful opportunities that the delegates had at the present convention. He sincerely hoped they would live up to what was expected of them and nominate a man that would make possible a political liberty and gain the race every right to which it is due. At one point the speaker said that the ten millions of Negroes in this country, tired of bpken promises and kaleidoscopic treatment, had (Continued on page 6.) LARGE MASS,MEETING. Pekin Theater Jammed With Enthusiastic Roosevelt Amdirers—"He's Coming Back." Hon. Theodore Roosevelt would be assured of election as the next President of the United States if the fifteen hundred people that gathered at the Pekin theater Saturday evening last had the say-so. It was a public mass meeting arranged by the local Roosevelt committee in the interest of their candidate. Mr. George W. Ellis presided. Among the speakers were Rev. Bradden of Berean Baptist church, Mr. J. C. Potter of West Virginia, J. R. Espimar of Kentucky, Mr. Gifford of West Virginia, J. H. Hayes of West Virginia, Rev. R. C. Ransom, Hon. Nelson Crews of Kansas City and Editor MacBeth of Baltimore. The audience was aroused to a high state of enthusiasm by the eloquent addresses. "He's Coming Back," a rolling campaign song, was sung with fervor by Mr. Douglas and the vast audience joined in the chorus. COL. RUFFIN SPEAKS AT EBNEZER A Mass Meeting in Defense of Political Rights—Many Present. Tuesday evening a large and enthusiastic massmeeting was held at Benezer Baptist Church under the auspices of the Frederick Douglass National League. The meeting was for the purpose of laying before the Republican National Convention the grievances of the race by being denied our political rights as granted under the 14th and 15th amendments. Col. R. D. Ruffin was the principal speaker. Mr. B. W. Fitts presided. Other prominent speakers took part. ROBBERS LOOT M'FARLAND HOME Visitora Lose Clothing—Steal Everything in Sight—and Then Eat Meal. The home of Mrs. McFarland, 12 East 37th street, was entered and robbed Wednesday evening, while the family were at the theater. Two delegates to the National Republican convention from Newark, N. J., who were stopping there, were relieved of all their belongings. Miss Madeline McFarland is more grieved over the fact that she lost a valuable gold watch than most all of the family's clothing which was taken excepting those which they wore. After they had finished helping themselves to the valuables, the thieves enjoyed a sumptuous meal, using Mrs. McFarland's choice dishes. Jam was a favorite with one of them, as the robbers ate several jars. The police of the Stanton avenue station were notified and detectives were put on the track of the vandals. Entrance was gained by prying open a rear window. members of the South Carolina delegation. To the extreme right is Editor the hall is the Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds at Wash- Negro delegates. RECEPTION TO DELEGATES GEORGIA DELEGATES A Large and Enjoyable Reception at Institutional Church Monday The Institutional A. M. E. Church, 3825 Dearborn street, was crowded to its capacity Monday evening with the delegates and visitors to the national convention at a reception tendered them by a committee of citizens headed by Rev. A. J. Carey. The speaking programme was an elaborate one, among them being Gov. John A. Mead of Vermont, candidate for the vice-presidency; Senator W. O. Bradley of Kentucky; Hon. J. C. Napler, Registrar of the United States Treasury; Mr. Fred Moore, editor of the New York Age; Hon. Charles Nagle; J. H. Ballard of Washington, D. C.; Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, Collector of Ports, New York; Hon. J. Madison Vance of Louisiana; Dr. C. W. Walker of Georgia; S. S. Broadax, Georgia; Rev. E. J. Fisher, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, and Rev. A. J. Carey. President Tatt Endorsed. The meeting was in the interest of the candidacy of President Wm. Howard Tatt, and the speakers spoke in glowing terms of his splendid administration. Considerable stress was laid upon Brownsville and Theodore Roosevelt by those speakers who took that subject. Sergt. Mingo Saunders, late of the 25th U. S. Infantry, and Corporal Ballard of the same regiment, told of their experience, as they both belonged to the company discharged. Gov. Mead made one of the principal addresses of the evening. He said in part: "Do not split up your forces," said Governor Mead, "but stand together and make your power felt. In Vermont we never have had a Democratic Governor. There we know that President Taft is especially fitted for his position. I don't say that the President has not made mistakes, but I do say that he has done things to the best of his ability, and such a man is a pretty safe one to shoulder the responsibilities of this government. Roosevelt Struggle in Vain. Colonel Roosevelt, also, is a great man, a great politician, but I am exceedingly sorry to see him making this great, frenzied struggle." Hon. J. C. Napier declared that President Taft deserved the united vote of the colored people of the country. "President Taft has shown himself to be the true friend of the colored people," said Mr. Napier. "He is in favor of their education, just as other people are, and his stand on the question of disfranchising the Negro twice prevented such an occurrence in Maryland, where the Democrats attempted to accomplish it."

The Georgia delegation to the convention will ever remember Chicago. After a long and tedious trip their special car was wrecked in the railway yards in this city. The entire delegation was badly shaken up and many of them sustained painful injuries. When interviewed by a Defender reporter, Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds in Washington, in charge of the party, said that the accident was the fault of the railroad company, as the car was an old, dilapidated wooden coach and in the make-up of the train it was placed between two steel cars. The accident happened as the train entered the yards, a sudden stopping and then a sudden startling and the car was crushed like an egg-shell. Hurry Up Call for Doctors. Medical assistance was hastily called and many of the delegates were found to be hurt so severely that many of them were taken to St. Luke's Hospital. Mr. Johnson was thrown to the floor and his legs were severely injured. Mr. A. N. Fluker of Valdoster, Ga., had his spine severely hurt. Prof. Wm. James, Statesboro, Ga., injured his leg. Mr. Wm. Briskell of Atlanta sustained severe bruises about the head. Others more or less injured were: Mr. M. B. Morton of Athens, Mr. T. D. Jones of Atlanta, Mr. E. J.

SOLDIERS GET SERVICE MEDALS. Brigadier General Frank S. Dickinson, Adjutant General, Makes Elouquent Address and Presents Medals—Quartermaster General Colonel Tripp Also Present—Medals and Decorations for Five, Eight and Fifteen Years Service—Band Concert—Notes. By J. Hockley Smiley. The Eighth Infantry, I. N. G., already noted for their valor and courage upon the battle field, and renowned everywhere for their successful social entertainments, crowned themselves with glory Monday night by being the hosts at the largest and most magnificent military ball ever held in the city of Chicago. A conservative estimate of the attendance is six thousand, and at one time it was said that nearly fifteen hundred couples danced upon the floor. Chicago has never witnessed such a magnificent social affair. Never have so many visitors honored an occasion with their presence. There is a peculiar charm to a military ball—the glint of gold lace and the clatter of swords seemingly has a strange fascination to the fair sex. Medals for Long and Honorable Service The reception was the occasion for the presentation of decorations for long and honorable service in the regiment. Medals were awarded for fifteen years service, eight years service and five years service. The banner men (fifteen years) were Maj. Allen A. Wesley, staff; Lieut. Robert Hurd, C. B; Color Sergt. C. Thompson, N. C. S.; Lieut. Floyd J. Lewis, Co. D. The presentation of these awards were made by Adjt. Gen. Frank S. Dickinson. Adjt. Gen. J. courageed the soldiers address. He said that the one of the substantial I state militia and ever since they existed they had acquitted themselves with credit. They had never been a cause of any trouble to his department. The gentleman was by Col. Tripp, Quartermas. Band Concert. The famous Eighth Regiment under the direction of Sergt. I delighted the vast strong with selected program during the early ing. Many of the visitors remit that they had never heard so wonderful musical organization. The ball opened with a grand led by Fed.

Anderson, and Mrs. Jas. S. Nelson, Maj. an Otis B. Duncan and an endless lin couples that circled the hall times around.

Another pleasing feature was the excellent decorum. Not a ripple disturbed the peace and harmony throughout the entire evening. A large detail of police were on hand but their services were not needed. Automobiles were seemingly the favorite mode of transportation, the doorman being authority for the statement that he counted at least a hundred of them. --- A Charming Visitor. After her successful appearance at the Majestic theater Mrs. Ada Overton Walker graced the occasion with her presence. The premiere dansuele of our race was the life of a large party that included Miss Blanche Wright of Washington, D. C.; M.J. A. F. Stephens of Philadelphia, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brown, Miss Hazel Thompson and Mrs. Florence Woodward Mrs. Walker wore a beautiful white lace dress with a hat to match. Mr. John R. Auter accompanied Mrs. Walker. Personal and Otherwise. Prof. William Davis of Washington, D. C., and Dr. W. F. Penn of Atlanta, Ga., enjoyed the ball very much as guests of our genial friend, Mr. Hamilton. An amusing incident previous to the ball occurred at the Great Northern Hotel. Capt. and Adjit. Louis B. Anderson played the principal role. Under commission from Col. Marshall, the Adjutant appeared at the hotel early in the evening to escort Adjit. Gen. Dickinson and Col. Tripp to the ball. Before convention time the lobby was unusually filled with people, many of them being from the south. The band was playing "Dixie" when Capt. Anderson, resplendent in his uniform profusely adorned with gold lace, appeared, and a silence fell over the entire place. Even the band stopped playing, but the dashing regimental adjutant, with head erect, sought the object of his visit, escorted them to the awaiting automobile, never mindful of the great stir his appearance had created. Mr. George Breckner of Atlanta said that he had often read of the Eighth regiment, "but if they all look like that fellow I saw tonight, it must be a fine body of men. No, there is none like them down my way." Attorney John R. Auter of Evanton had as his guests Mrs. Ada Overton-Walker and Miss Hazel Thompson. A large automobile brought the party from the Majestic to the Seventh Regiment Armory and "after the ball" the party enjoyed a delicious supper at a well known cafe. Sergt. Solomon Morrison, 6034 South May street, received an eight year medal. Mrs. Morrison accompanied him to the ball and together they had a delightful time. Mr. Morris Hayes, 5015 Dearborn street, had the time of his life. One of the floor managers declared that Mr. Hayes never missed a dance. Dr. and Mrs. Claude Bell and their guest spent the evening circulating among friends. Dr. Bell declared that this ball is the largest one that he has ever attended. Mr. George H. Walker, 522 Bowen avenue, the prominent real estate dealer, entertained a party of friends in sumptuous style. They arrived in an automobile and departed the same way. In the party were Dr. and Mrs. E. W. Irving of Memphis, Tenn.; Mrs. Evans and the host and his wife. A caterer served the midnight supper at home. The spacious officers' box overlooking the entire auditorium was prettily decorated in the National colors. Noticed among those having seats there were Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence N. Jones, Mrs. Charles Jackson, Rev. and Mrs. Jenifer, Mr. and Mrs. Julius N. Avendorph, Mr. and Mrs. David McGowan, Dr. and Mrs. Jefferson, Mrs. Stokes, Lieut. Col. and Mrs. Miss Essie Arnold, Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Louis B. Mrs. French, Mr. andorge H. Walker, Dr. and W.

Pre- ous to the formal exercises he spent e time in conversation with Rev. edan Chavis. When The Defender respondent interviewed him he ed upon every other subject but tics. Later he enjoyed the grand a the partner of Mrs. Col. EIGHTH ON THE RIFLE RANGE. Captain Jefferson, I. R. of R., took even teams from the Eighth Infanty, I. N. G., to Camp Logan, near on City, last Sunday afternoon, for annual rifle practice. This competitive shooting arouses much interest in military circles. Company B took first place, while the staff team work second place. There were ten cores and they were selected regimental shooting which off the first of July. Lieut.-L. Johnson, Captain Arnett, Lieutenant Ford of E Company, and Sergt. E. H. Faulkner are considered the big four. All of them made over hundred and are considered high men. Without a doubt the most elaborate house affair given in the honor of the visitors and delegates was the banquet by the citizens of Chicago on Wednesday evening. The affair was given at the palatial residence of Mrs. S. J. Carter, 3256 Rhodes Ave. The banquet proper was preceded by an informal lawn fete. The gentlemen were served with a light beverage and cigars. The banquet was on an elaborate scale, and Mrs. Carter, the cateress, is being showered with praise. The tables were artistically decorated and a string quartette played throughout the eight-course dinner. Mr. Adelbert H. Roberts was toastmaster. Maj. J. C. Buckner responded to the toast, "Our Guests," and the "Final Word" was the subject of the Hon. S. Laing Williams. The list of guests is as follows: Dr. U. G. Mason, Alabama; Col. E. P. Jones, Mississippi; Dr. E. H. McKissack, Mississippi; Dr. I. G. W. Cabann, Washington, D. C.; Hon. Jos. L. Jones, Ohio; Hon. S. W. Green, Louisiana; Col. Isaac Farley, Ohio; M. W. H.

Johnson was unable to appear, having been recalled to his native state, Georgia, the day before, too late for the function to be called off and the program arranged, was carried out to the delight and pleasure of the most magnificent gathering ever assembled there. Mr. L. B. Anderson, Chicago's premier entertaining talker and short story teller, was introduced by W. R. Cowan, the president of the club, as the master of ceremonies, and from that moment until the last word was uttered by Col. Moseley, the big audience was held spellbound by the logic and oratory of the speakers, foremost among which were the responses of S. Laing Williams to the sentiment, "The Attitude of the Public Towards Our Lawyers"; Dr. Wilberforce Williams, "The Medical Profession"; Rev. R. C. Ransom, "The Church as a Character Builder"; S. A. T. Watkins, "Legal Battles"; W. R. Cowan, "Appomattox", and last, but not least, Beauregard F. Moseley, "Our Guest." All of these talks were clean, clear-cut and learned, and were most agreeably received. The presentation by Mr. Anderson of a large life size picture of Mr. Moseley, the host, was received by the club through Mr. Cowan, the president, in a happy reminiscent view, showing the great service Mr. Moseley had been to the club while acting as its president in purchasing the beautiful home the club now occupies. Aside from the clever remarks of the master of ceremonies, Rev. Ransom's talk was much commented upon, and the parting shot of the host, Mr. Moseley, to his guest, was easily the best advice given, and especially to the large number of delegates to the National convention who were present and were advised to forget Roosevelt and Taft and stand for the redress of the wrongs perpetrated upon the race by not voting for any candidate until a plank was inserted in the platform promising relief, and if not granted, to vote for him (Moseley) for president, rather than anyone else, which would be the more manlier thing to do if they couldn't secure their rights as they, the 66 Negro delegates, held the balance of power. This was loudly applauded. Mr. Buchanan sang, lunchon was served, and the guests—among whom were J. Madison Vance, Walter Cohen, J. Prescott and J. I. Rogers of Louisiana, Hon. C. C. Dancy of North Carolina, Hon. Judson Lyons of Augusta, Gal, Dr. J. H. Levy of South Carolina, Col. John R. Marshall, Charlie Williams of the Dixie Jubilee, R. S. Abbott, and Julius Taylor of the Press Bureau and many other leading lights—dispersed reluctantly at 4 a.m. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Triumph Fete in The Annals Local History GRAND AUGUST CARNIVAL and NEGRO EXPOSITION BKS of MIRTH, MERRIMEN First 17th to 31st Pillars, etc., to be a work of Art.

Beauty Culture Expert Opens Fine Establishment on South Side. Thursday, with music and singing, Mme. Emily M. Scott opened her magnificent beauty culture parlors at $825 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, manicuring 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 attendants 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. WITH THE TRUE REFORMERS Mrs. Lou Ella Young, president of the Rosebud convention of the Western Grand Division of True Reformers, will call the Rosebud convention to order at 3638 State street, Tuesday morning, June 25. Mr. Floyd Ross, Grand Worthy Master, and Mrs. Rosa Thompson, Grand Worthy Mistress and General Rosebud Lecturer, of Richmond, Va., will be present and take a part in the convention, as well as to speak at the public meetings at Zion A. M. E. Church, Tuesday night, the 25th, and Ebeneze Baptist Church Wednesday night, the 26th. Chief M. T. Bailey says there will be several other visitors present, coming from other cities, and the meetings will all be a success. He predicts that there will only be a matter of a short time before the Grand Fountain will gain its former honor and standing throughout the country. BANKING ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED. The National Negro Banking Association, of which no one can become a member unless he or she has a savings account in some bank, will be organized in a few days. This information was given out by Mr. H. C. Fox, president of the Standard Literary Society of the Olvet Baptist church, who is founder of the association. He declares that it will be superior to all other negro organizations because the purpose of it is to acquaint the race how to conduct business on a large scale so as to give some employment to the many idle ones, the same as all other races.

Enjoy a Splendid Banquet and Listen to an Address by a Noted Visitor. Hon. Walter S. Thomas of Columbus, Ohio, one of the prominent politicians of that state, addressed the Allied Insurance Men's Association of Illinois at a banquet held at the Wa Wa Cafe on Monday evening. This was a grand affair and Mr. Thomas in his eloquent manner enveloped the men present for their progressive spirit and advancement in a field of occupation that has heretofore been closed against the race. The men present represented the best insurance companies in America. The officers of the association are David W. Murray, president, representing the National Life Insurance Co.; Geo. A. Wilson, representing vice president of the Travelers' Insurance Co.; Chas. A. Griffin, secretary, representing the Western Life Indemnity Co., and Mr. Coley, treasurer, representing the Bankers' Union. COAST EXCURSION OFF. Railroad Company Refuses Mr. White First Class Service and He Abandons Trip. Mr. C. T. White wishes to call the public's attention to the fact that he is compelled to call his personally conducted excursion to the coast off because he has been unable to obtain strictly first class equipment. The railroad company wish him to take second class accommodations and this he refuses to do. He has decided that as he could not secure the accommodations as advertised he would not have it. He will make an effort to run this excursion again in 1915 during the Panama exposition in San Francisco. Uncle Pennywise Says."

PAYS HOMAGE TO A SERVANT On the eve of his departure for the land of the heather and thistle, the Laird of Skikbade bade farewell to one of his servants who had been in the service for 23 years. The occasion was made a gala one in the servants' hall at the Fifth avenue mansion, New York, the Carnegie family participating in the function and being no small part of it. Skikbade castle will be minus its head house maid in the person of Miss Maggie Anderson. In giving her best years in service, Miss Anderson developed some of the thrift for which the iron master is famous, and announced some time since she was going to open a public house in Edinburgh. That is her home town, but the only living member of her family is a brother out in San Francisco. She planned to pay the brother a visit, and the laird presented her with a round trip ticket to the metropolis of the Pacific coast. This was not all he did. He present- ed her with a handsome gold watch and a life pension of $500 a year. In the servants' hall were gathered all the help of the big mansion at eight o'clock.

"We may have another Maggie, but she won't be the same Maggie. We would not stop her in her new departure. We shall miss you, but we wish you all prosperity in your new undertaking, and you can depend that whenever I am in Edinburgh, I will never pass your door." The servants presented the departing Maggie with a gold bangle. Dancing followed. Two of the footman of the Carnegie household are violinists—fiddlers the servants call them—and a friend of the domestic art of the household is an expert with claves. LADY OF LONDON" By the election of her husband to the important position of chairman of London county council, Lady Cheylesmore, an American woman, becomes in a sense the "First Lady of London." The county council, of course, is the real governing body of the greater city, and the position of chairman corresponds in a general way to that of mayor of a city like New York, the so-called lord mayor of London "ruling" over only the old city of London—about a square mile in area. Furthermore, Lord Chaylesmore himself is half American. His mother was Charlotte Harman of New Orleans and he is a living example of the advantage of wedding the hustling, practical qualities of the American with the liberal conservative qualities of the best English aristocracy. Lady Chaylesmore, who was Elizabeth French, daughter of F. O. French of New York, has become one of the men in English society.

The Grand August Carnival and Fair—State Street, 30th to 39th Street—Unique and Interesting Event Planned for the Last Two Weeks in August—Practical Demonstration of Negro Enterprise—Streets to Be a Blaze of Light—Every Store to Be Decorated—Magnificent Entertainment for Summer Visitors. MR. 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 Gigantic Undertaking But Successful From the First. --- Through the kindness of Mayor Carter H. Harrison and the city council Mr. Jesse Bluga 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 Ablaze 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 nightly parades and a new $20,000 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 a veritable walk of light and bea- there. 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 charity able institutions to enable them to so licit funds for their various causes. AT THE POMPEII Mr. Thomas McCain, prominent in cave circles and formerly of the Kentucky club, is now manager of the beautiful Pompeli 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 Pompeli 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 is 20 and 22 East 31st street. NOTED SLEEPING CAR CONDUCTOR Mr. A. W. Ray of Sault Ste Marie Visits City—Has Long Military Record—Owns Real Estate. Mr. A. W. Ray. Among the distinguished guests of the week and one who has been much sought is Sergt. A. W. Ray, conductor on the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic railway, a branch of the C. P. railroad system. He is one of the "Big Three" railroad conductors in the country and says that he has no difficulty, for the public treat him with great courtesy. The sergeant is very proud of his military record, having joined the famous 25th Infantry when he was 17 years old and received his honorable discharge after fifteen years' service in 1890 at Fort Shore, Mont. He is a property owner in Montreal, on the range in Minnesota, and in Montana. He advises railroad men to stick to it for he believes that the opportunity will come to them as it came to him. Sergt. Ray is an extremely modest man and it was with difficulty that The Defender reporter secured an interview. While Sergt. Ray was not with the infantry when it was discharged at Brownsville, he believes that the judgment of the President was somewhat hasty. Irresolution to Be Pitted. There is nothing more pliable in the world than an irresolute man, or rather between two feelings, who singly unite the two, and who live that nothing can WITH THE YOUNGER SET. "Reno" Talks About Straw Hats—Dress Suits Evidently Smell of Camphor Now. The smart set are all wearing straw hats, and each is contending that he has the latest thing out; but, of course, we never see ourselves as others see us. Dave Burris, the latest tip, has one of the flat, round brim effects, and he is constantly seen on the street, as it is a case of my friends must see my new hat. Lee Tobin, the unassuming young fellow, though proud as they come, is finding comfort in his last year's straw hat, as he claims it is a style that never goes out of style, but, of course, sour grapes make an excellent drink sometimes. Melville Mitchell, the Jersey advertisement kid, says there is nothing that appeals to his taste in the new headgear summer styles, therefore he will stick to his last year's derby hat. Caldwell Watkins is still disgusted with himself. The poor boy does not even have the courage to show up around his friends. He will be assigned on July 4th by both teams to do the dummy act in center field—his long suit. Cecil DeCorsey, the anxious little fellow, seems to have realized he was sitting on the limb the other fellow was sawing off. He says straw hats have no decided charm for him. Walter Young, the young man from the young town, seems to be hanging on, but there must come a parting sooner or later, as the steam roller is due soon. He is very fond of the wide, flat brim straw hats. Roy French is a regular dime show idol, these days. He is often seen on Madison street. He does not seem to have any preference as to what kind of old hat he wears. GRADUATE IN MUSIC Second Annual Commencement of Jackson's Music School Brings Before the Public Many Bright Pupils. The second annual commencement of Mr. W. L. Jackson's Music School was held at Odd Fellow's hall, 3335 State street. Wednesday evening. There were about two hundred people in attendance, among which were a number of Mr. Jackson's white friends. The program consisted of classic instrumental solos, themes with variations, Negro melodies with variations and popular numbers by the ensemble class, and songs by the vocal students. The program was played by pupils from three months to two years, who were presented with flowers, music rolls, music stands, violin cases and many other useful gifts. The program was as follows: Piano—4 Little Waltzes, Primary Class, Mervin Spencer, Elmer Clark, Mamie Carter and Gladys Walton; violin—"Dancing Stars," Ducelein, Master Robert Martin; piano—"La Grace," Bohm, Fanny Galloway; violin—"Melody in C," Kilingfeld, Mrs. Jewel Gaters; violin—Berceuse, Weidig, Mrs. Pearl Motley; piano—"Sanction No.1 (Andante and Rondo)" Lichner, Luvenia Caswell; violin—"Capit," Seybold, Steve Mackey; mandolin—"Slumber Song." Tolhurst, Henry Wilson; violin—"Old Black Joe" (variations), May, Horace Jordan; piano—"Indolence," Matthew, Harriet Hart; violin—"Sarabande," Bohm, Theodore Bolin; violin—"6th Air Varie," Dancla, George Jackson; song—"The Twilight, the Roses and You," Jones, Miss Mamie Odum; violin—"Bolero," Kermann, Eugene Harris; mandolin duet —"Bebe Polka," Shaffer, William Moses and Albert Logan; mandolin—quartette—"Andante," W. L. Jackson, William Moses, Albert Logan, Henry Wilson and John Walker; piano duet—"Qui Vive," Sanz, Harriet Hall and teacher. Orchestra—The Favorite Gavotte, W. L. Jackson; The Maid of Old Madrid, A. Zelaya; A Little Rag, W. L. Jackson; march, "The Test," W. L. Jackson. Song, "Let's Make Love Among the Roses," Schwartz, A. C. Cammon and chorus with orchestra. Addresses, Dr. W. H. Marshall, Dr. W. A. Driver. The ensemble class is made up as follows: Theodore Brown, violin; Eugene Harris, violin; George Jackson, violin; Horace Jordan, violin; Steve Mackey, violin; Mrs. P. Motley, violin; George Moses, violoncello; Albert Logan, mandolin; William Moses, mandolin; John Walker, mandolin; Henry Wilson, mandolin; Antonio Whitney, flute; C. Riley, cornet; John Canning, violin. In the opinion of pupils and friends, Mr. Jackson cannot be excelled as a teacher and director, while Mrs. Jackson deserves credit as an accompanist. STEPHENS-ALEXANDER. Popular Chicago Girl Wedded This Week. Miss Floy Mae Stephens, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Stephens, 5714 Wabash avenue, was quietly married to Mr. Edward Clements on last Tuesday evening, at 8 o'clock. Rev. Jenier, assistant pastor of Quinn Chapel Church, tied the knot. Only the immediate friends of the family and relatives were present. Mr. and Mrs. Stephens temporarily are living at 3645 Prairie avenue. NORTH SIDE NEWS The North Shore Men's Club gave a moonlight entertainment at Ashland Grove, Ashland avenue and Addison street, on Monday evening, June 17, 1912. The officers and their wives were present and also quite a number of people of the north, south and west side. The music was furnished by Prof. Dorsey. Refreshments were served and everyone had a nice time. The inclementity of the weather kept a number of persons away from the grove. Marvelous Storm Detector : Flageolet is the musical name of a French scientist who has invited a wireless receiver so delicate according to the description recently given before the French Academy of Sciences, that it can detect the advent of a plane three hundred miles away. My Son's Wife Somewhere in this teeming world there dwells a little girl who some day will be my son's wife. Perchance, indeed, she is but numbered among the potentialities; in the land of the unborn she may be shyly lingering. For the prospective bridegroom, albeit he fills his mother's heart, exists only in miniature. His joyous run is perilous and uncertain. The little linen suits he wears call forth amazed comment at their maturity. Nathless, two years is no unfitting interval 'twixt spouses. My son's wife may well be a fact accomplished. It is as a babe, a newborn babe lying still in a cradle, that I picture her. And what is she like, this little girl, I wonder; this little girl who means so much to him; so dear to me? Does she lie there plump or puny, brown or illy-fair, sorene or wallful? And the cot she lies in, is it lace-decked, berbionted, hung with curtains of fair white dimity? Or stands it bare and rudely fashioned of the twopenny banana box? But be she pauper or princess, I will not cavil. In memory of that other babe born in the stable, that other babe worshiped of princes, I welcome the daughter-in-law of the palace, of the barn. Yet these things are but trifles. I, too, am the worldly mother. For, princess or pauper, I would have my son's wife well-born. I would have her forebears people of honor, of refinement. I would have this, although I know that each new generation brings a new opportunity. Humanity is a compound and not a mixture. The elements fused together yield an issue strange and unaccountable. While there is life there is surely hope! And yet—and yet—O little unknown daughter-in-law, may you have been discreet in your choice of parents! May you, at least, have found a mother who loves you; indeed, it is the common, foolish wont of mothers. May you have found a father who is a gentleman to you, whate'er he be called otherwise! But the little girl in her cradle has already arranged her past. Blameless or sinful, it is already there. What use is it for me to speculate? What use is it for me to think of her at all? I trow she never thinks of me. She never thinks of her possessions that I guard so carefully; the silver tea service at the bank in its soft tissue wrappings; the family's sole diamond ring. She does not think of such things; she does not care. Yet could I show them to her, she would gurgle joyously. In her baby eyes their shine and sparkle would seem fair. And perchance when she doth realize her treasures she will no longer prize them. For my son's wife may be an artist, deeming crude valuables distinctive of the loathed Phillistine; or a learned lady despising gauds and baubles; or a little socialist, happily certain that in universal earthenware lies the cure of human ill. Yes; methinks my son's wife will be a socialist. Daughter-in-law, I will, spect your seruples; I will admire your noble discontent. You shall melt the silver tea service; you shall sell it, and print therefrom pamphlets, many pamphlets, to reform the wicked plutocrat. But although my son's wife may deem silver teapots worthless, although she may consider pearls more fity cast before swine, yet there is one possession I am guarding that she will hold very precious, one belonging that awaits her for which she will surely care. Then, it is of this that I shall tell her, this one thing of importance. I prate of silver services when I should describe my son. Tall I see him for his years, his two years, as he plays on the sword before me; tall and exceedingly stun y. His eyes are brown, but his hair curls goldenly. (Little girl, are you not glad with me that his hair curls goldenly?) Strong he is, and merry. When he hurts himself he cries but seldom. Rarely is he vexed. What else is there to tell about him? Ah, see, he runs towards me with his arms outstretched. Very loving to his mother is this little son of mine. But perchance my unknown daughter-in-law will feel that final piety concerns her not. Perchance she may resent it. And yet it is a desirable quality. All the things that I have told her are desirable qualities; they should tend to make a happy wife. For two years this son hath brought his mother more happiness than she had ever known. Is it not, then, probable that he will one day bring joy unto his wife? Little daughter-in-law, I pray that my son may give to you as great a peace, as great a comfort as he hath given me. I pray, although in truth the prayer is more for my son's sake than for yours, since you are yet a stranger to me—Oh, may my son come unto his wife as unspotted as he came to me. May he be pure in heart when he enters upon his second birth, the birth of the new dual life! May he always, and whatever be fall him, never cease in seeing God! And so farewell, little girl. Farewell, for in the surging crowd I cannot find you; I cannot hear your voice; I do not know your face. To all my eager questioning, to all my hopes, my prayers, my fears, there is but one answer—silence. Only silence. The future holds you shrouded. To my son and me you stand like an eastern bride behind the vell. May all go well with you, my daughter-in-law, until that vell be raised! May loving care attend your ways! May your childhood be a laughing one! Farewell, you little girl; farewell, for many, many years! Farewell, until that shadowy far-off day when we shall meet again! Farewell! Meanwhile, I have my son.—Mrs. Israel Zangwill in Westminster Gazette. Compulsion. Compulsion is the weapon of the weak. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER STRANGE DOGS OF ALASKA Most Common Breed Is the Malamute or Native Dog—Are Wonderful Workers. Dogs in Alaska are of all breed and size, the most common being the malamute, or native dog, says a writer in the Wide World Magazine. The word 'malamute' is an Indian word meaning Eskimo, and is applied to both dogs and natives. The malamute is of the wolf strain—in fact, the best of the breed are half wolf. They evince all the characteristics of the wolf, both in appearance and in manners. Owing to his wolf-like fur, the malamute can easily stand the extreme Alaskan cold. He is a born fighter, an inveterate thief, and somewhat of a coward, for he will seldom fight singly against a lone adversary. The malamute, while well able to withstand the cold, does not seem to have the same order of intelligence as is displayed by the outside dog, and the best dog for Alaska would seem to be a mixture of the two strains: Another native breed in the north is the huskie, but this breed is rarer than common usage of the word would imply. The real huskies are bred in the neighborhood of the Mackenzie river, and are more common in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Hudson Bay company than in Alaska. Small dogs, such as fox terriers, are a rarity in Alaska, for in that country a dog is valuable in exact proportion to the amount he can pull. A sleighdog will weigh anything from 30 to 150 pounds, the average being about 75 pounds. It is surprising to the uninitiated how big a load a dog can pull, though I must admit I have never seen or heard of a dog in Alaska pulling 1,000 pounds, under the conditions described in a well-known novelist's book; nor have I ever seen or heard of a dog-fight as pictured so vividly in the story in which he graphically describes a fight where two dogs are battling for supremacy in the team, and the remainder of the dogs sit on their haunches and form a ring around the contestants, who, under these conditions, I suppose, would fight it out under Marquis of Queensbury rules. I question whether such a fight ever occurred in natural history. If there are two Alaskan dogs fighting, and 40 non-interested dogs in the neighborhood, the fight will soon involve itself into one dog underneath and 41 dogs on top. The idea of an Alaskan dog calmly sitting on his haunches and coolly viewing the fight is too funny for anything; the joke can only be appreciated by those who have seen a bunch of malamutes in a fight. Maine Woods Tragedy. Made the Hen So Nervous. A woman who lives in the Country club district has a large back yard in which she keeps a few chickens. Her chickens have become something more than mere egg producers to her, in fact she regards them affectionately and respects their rights and feelings. One day a plumber was at work installing pipes at a house near by. To bore a hole through the rock he set off a light blast. The explosion jarred the house of the woman with the chickens. Gathering her skirts in her hands she made straight for the place where the plumber was at work. "You much stop that blasting this minute," she exclaimed. The plumber protested that it was such a light charge it couldn't possibly do any damage to window panes or crockery. "That doesn't make any difference," said the woman emphatically, "I've t a sitting hen. She's afraid it'll break the eggs and it distracts her dreadfully."-Kansas City Star. Making Himself Solid. When L. C. Probert went to Washington as a newspaper correspondent for the Associated Press he asked a friend to show him over the senate and give him a proper introduction to all the senators. Finally they went into the office of Senator Stone of Missouri. Stone was exceedingly polite and made Probert feel at home. "I used to be in St. Louis myself," vouchsafed Probert. "I was a witness in the suit which the St. Louis Star brought against the Associated Press for being a trust." "Yes," remarked Stone. "I remember that case very well." "I was on the Associated Press at that time," continued Probert with great enthusiasm, "and I tell you our lawyers made the fellow on the other side look like an idiot."—Popular Magazine. When He Quit. "Do you recall a funny incident of our parade last year?" asked a suffragist of a newspaper man. The scribbler liked like a gentleman, and said that he saw nothing humorous about the 1912 demonstration. "Well," said the apostle of equal political rights, "we had to hire a few men to carry banners. One of these 'opressors' picked up a guildon, took his place in line and staked. He was hooted and jeered for several blocks, and it finally occurred to him to turn his sign around and look at it. It read: 'Men vote! Why shouldn't we?' He quit right there." - New York Tribune. POWER OF HUMAN EYE SAVAGE DOGS PUT TO FLIGHT BY STARE. Man Relates Incidents Showing Remarkable Effect of Concentrated Gaze on Infuriated Canines Bent on Mischief. "When the Forty-fourth Massachusetts regiment was besieged in Washington, N. C., writes Darius Coob, in Our Dumb Animals. "I was on one occasion confronted by a big wolfdog that leaped from its kennel furiously upon me. The situation was a desperate one and called for instant action. "I subdued that animal by throwing myself on all fours and springing toward him with catlike snarls. He retreated into his kennel with pleuring howls, and nothing could bring him out. I am certain that dogs can be completely cowed by the eye of man while his body is absolutely still, or by intense and mysterious action with a corresponding look of the eye. "The following incident I relate as an example of this silent but effective method: Several years ago I was sketching in an orchard which I afterward learned had been repeatedly robbed by roughs from a settlement of hard characters a half mile away. Suddenly a large Newfoundland dog sprang out from a hedge that surrounded a series of terraces. With threatening growls he bounded toward me, his eyes glaring and foam running from his mouth. I ceased sketching and fixed my eyes on him as he descended, with all the intensity I could command. "When the dog had reached the middle terrace he stopped and, though he barked furiously and showed his shining teeth, came no further. I stood motionless and with eyes fixed as adamant. All at once he turned and, running up the terraces, disappeared behind the hedge. I resumed my sketching, but it was with a sense of weakness resulting from intense concentration of my will upon the dog. "Five minutes passed, when the Newfoundland again appeared. He did not stop to bark this time, but down he sprang. Why this unhailing charge? Ah, there it is! A huge mastiff is close behind, making springs like a wild beast. Both dogs were growing fiercely and this with the foam that listened on their teeth told too plainly what awaited me. The Newfoundland had gone to get help and he got it. "I saw that the mastiff had lost an eye and so I had only three eyes to magnetize. As before, I stood fixed, not even permitting my lids to wink. The Newfoundland leaped first and planted his great paws so heavily on my breast as to nearly knock me over backward. My eyes were riveted upon him in all his fury, and in so instant he dropped to the ground. Three times he sprang at me, and each time I moved not a hair, keeping his eyes to mine. When he dropped the third time the mastiff, [who had been growing with impatient痛, took his turn. His massive paws struck my chest more heavily even than had his leader's, and it was with effort that I stood against the blow. "He, too, sprang at my throat and like the Newfoundland dropped to the ground. He repeated the attack three times and seemed at the limit of frantic rage when he made his last spring. But my two eyes were too much for his one eye. The moment the mastiff dropped to the ground for the third time both of the dogs turned and ran up the terraces as if I had charged them with buckshot. They disappeared behind the hedge, and though I was half an hour finishing the sketch they did not appear again. I could have robbed that orchard with impunity." The Pup Likely to Be Converted. The Pup Likely to Be Converted. A small dog with a large bark and a janitor with an impediment in his speech gave one number at religious service recently that was not in the regular order of exercises as announced from the pulpit. Early in the service, the pup had come into the church and intrenched itself at the end of a pew, where it yelped noisy defiance at the worshippers who passed. It was not long before the janitor realized his duty and started to perform it. The little animal noted his approach and retreated behind the feet of the occupants of the pew and its intermittent yelp was turned into a long roll of defiance as the janitor made frantic grabs at it. The minister gave up the unequal contest at this point and addressing the janitor he said: "Just leave him alone, brother, maybe he wants religion." "I-I'll gg-give him all the , rellig-g-on he wants if I-I ever g-get to him," was the earnest response and many who had come to worship remained to laugh. Explorer Means to Win Laboratory to Win. Dr. A. F. R. Wollaston has practically completed the arrangements for his forthcoming expedition to New Gufnea. Dr. Wollaston is taking out with him from England a specially constructed motor boat, which he will employ in navigating the Utakwa river, by means of which he hopes to reach the Snow mountains. Dr. Wollaston's objective is the highest point of the main ridge of the Nassau range. The last British expedition got to within thirty miles of it, but this seemingly short distance involves a climb of 16,000 feet by what are probably the worse precipices in the world. Both Use Them.

Young. Grace Wins; Plays for Lead. The Grace team opened a series of games with Quinn Chapel last Saturday afternoon at Washington Park, and the latter nine, who later has been hitting the ball hard, fell victims before the champions by a score of 7 to 3. "Herble" Lewis and Baker featured the contest with pitching honors. The champions will travel to West Pullman to battle with Bethany for the lead in the southern division of the Presbyterian League at Palmer Park, Michigan avenue and 111th street, Saturday afternoon, June 22. Bethany has a much stronger team than that which opened the season with Grace several months ago. The West Pullmans have beaten such clubs as Bethlehem Chapel and last Saturday the Hope nine, with "Tim" Reeves pitching, went down to defeat. The Grace team will be intact and Baker will pitch the entire game for the champions. Take West Pullman car at 63d and South Park avenue to 111th street and then walk two blocks east to the park. By Frank A. Young. Ralph Calloway, the colored boxer of Los Angeles, collapsed in the dressing room after a preliminary bout at Buffalo, N. Y., the night of the thirteenth and had to be removed to the hospital. 7 - 5 The much-expected bout between Langford and McVea has been postponed indefinitely, according to dispatches received from Australia. Mr McVea hurt his thumb while cranking his motor car and the doctors claim it will be weeks before he can box again. With "Rube" Foster in the box the American Giants won from the Photos of French Lick, Ind, Sunday, at the 39th street grounds, by the score of 6 to 5. In the third session the visitors got to our idol, "Rube," for four hits and five runs, giving them a four-run lead, but the Giants kept pounding Johnson, just hard enough to score one run each round after the fourth, winning in the ninth with none out. After Foster's one bad inning he proved a puzzle to the visitors. The summary: Innings. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 RHE Am.

The colored boys were too fast for the car builders, winning with ease. 4-2. Thompson pitched a good game for the Cubans. The officers of the Eighth Regiment took part in the city championship flag celebration at the Sox park last Thursday as the guest of Mr. Comiskey, then after a downpour of rain saw the White Sox win from Boston, 4-5. / According to a wireless dispatch via Siasconset, June 15, from the Finland, on board which are the members of the Olympic team, H. P. Drew, the colored sprinter, is using the 70-yard cork track with Craig and Rice, and he is in fine condition. James Thorpe, the Indian, is on board also. The fact that Howard P. Drew is married and has two children depending upon him while he is with the American team, has caused the best business men of Springfield to take it upo themselves to find some means to provide for Drew's family while he is away. The colored sprinter, although married, is working his way through the high school, and working as a bell boy nights. He has not only managed to do this, but has proven himself a wonderful athlete under these most trying conditions. Trainer Murphy has pointed him out as a coming champion. Third in the list of the ten leading sluggers of the National league is Meyers, the Indian backstop of the New York Giants, and fifth among the ten leading base stealers is Marsans of the Cuban fielder of the Cincinnati Reds. For Drew's performance at the Olympic games watch this column. Drew is the only Negro with the team, and whether he wins or loses this column will have the result. Seldom do you find, if ever you do find, a colored girl who wins or even takes part in athletics while attending the institutions of higher learning, but such is the case of Miss Ethel Caution-Davis, senior at Wellesley, as you will find in another column of this issue. The A. A. U. is trying its best to find some way to declare H. P. Drew a professional. Race prejudice, again. GEORGIA DELEGATES (Continued from Page 1.) Rome, J. M. Holland of Forsythe, R. B. Butt of Greenville, Ga., and J. W. Davidson of Mason. Twenty-two Wrecks in a Year. Mr. Johnson also says that he had a premonition that the accident would occur, for while en route to Atlanta to bring back the delegation he heard that there had been twenty-two accidents on the same road within the past year. Only Strong May Dare. Only those who are strong enough to model public opinion dare ignore it. (Continued from first page.) reached the point that they wanted to voice their sentiment as to what kind of a man the next president should be and that these delegates should see that they had that chance. "There is no real freedom in a land accursed by slavery, and if the president political conditions in some parts of the country is not slavery I don't know what slavery is." The Nation's Duty to Black Citizens. Rev. R. C. Ransom was then introduced. Mr. Roberts, in introducing him as the speaker of the evening, said that it was not as a pulpiter that he wanted to introduce him, but as a fearless champion of his race along all lines. The subject of the evening was "A Nation's Duty to Its Black Citizens," and it proved to be the incentive for the most eloquent address heard in Chicago in many a day and by far one of the best efforts of Rev. Ransom. Beginning with the admonition that no one should deceive himself as to the outcome of the National convention he said that "whoever will be its nominee it will not bring to us the political millennium." He told of Taft and Roosevelt, of their political attitude toward the Negro, of his like and dislike of them. He says that the Republican party could not elect a President without the Negro vote that that vote will never be given to President William H. Taft. He vigorously attacked Taft as "an enemy to progress." He lauded Col. Roosevelt as the man who could bring victory to the Republican standard in November. Roosevelt a Friend. "The Republican party is divided between the adherents of Taft and Roosevelt," said the speaker. "Mr. Taft at once made known his attitude toward our race by announcing that he would appoint no Negroes to office in the South where such an appointment is not pleasing to the whites. Mr. Taft never realized that the Negro of today is not the Negro of 1872. We have nothing to hope for in him. For forty years the Negro has stood pat. He has allowed the Republican party to ride into power on his back and hold a majority in Congress. Now is the time for him to turn Insurgent and insist on the nomination of the man who will give him the square deal." Mr. Hays, a delegate from Richmond, Va., was the next speaker. The speaker told of the small representations in the convention and his fears of its growing less, unless the present delegates stood as a man and elected a candidate that had their welfare at heart. Mr. Hays was in the midst of his most eloquent talk when ex-President Theodore Roosevelt was announced. Roosevelt Arrives It was shortly after 10:30 when Theodore Roosevelt and his party arrived. Surrounded by a score of secret service men and detectives, the "strenuous one," the famous lion hunter and the idol of the American people was cheered to the echo. Mr. Roosevelt was escorted by Col. John R. Marshall. Upon reaching the platform he at once pleased the audience by taking Rev. Ransom by the hand and telling him that he was "Dee-lighted." The Colonel began his remarks by telling the audience how pleased he was to have Col. Marshall bring him there and how long they had been friends together in Cuba. "I have always admired him." He spoke of the record of the Flight regiment in Cuba and declared that the Colonel was a splendid commanding officer, for out of the fourteen hundred men only 17 died, and the regiment was eleven months in Cuba. "I must apologize to you for preaching," he said, "but my interest in politics has been and still is largely a moral interest. I hope for the time to come when the people won't use the word "politician" and 'graft' in the same breath, as if they had a natural affinity for each other. "Your race has a right to expect reciprocity from the white man but before he gets that he must show himself worthy of it. In his everyday life, especially in the political field, the race has a chance to show the world what they can be." Political corruption and vote-selling was the theme of Mr. Roosovelt's talk. Race Should Be Judged as individuals. "Any man who sells his vote, and especially a Negro, demeans not only himself but his race. The Negro race gets credit for all the bad things that are done by individual Negroes as the white race does not. It is not fair to judge Negroes except as individuals, as white men are judged, but still it is done. That is why the Negro who sells his vote, no matter whom he sells it to, does an injustice to the entire Negro race. "Certain white men are at work trying to buy off the Negro delegates from the south. The white man who buys such a vote is lower than the Negro who sells it. If he can be found I shall do my best to have him punished. "I like the Negro race. I remember the regiments that fought beside my own, and remember what work they accomplished. There is a great deal to be done for the race, and I am actively interested in the uplift of the Negro in every way. I do not think Mr. Tatt is." Negro a Convention Chairman. Col. Roosevelt evoked cheer when he recalled the time, twenty-eight years ago, when he and ex-Gov. Fort succeeded in making a Negro, John R. Lynch, chairman of a Republican convention of which they were members. Following the speaking a banquet was held in the lecture room. Covers were laid for about two hundred persons. The room was tastily decorated in the national colors and the festivities lasted until a late hour. Mr. George Ellis was toastmaster and among the speakers were Cary B. Lewis, Dr. E. S. Miller and Rev. R. C. Ransom and Hon. Nelson Crews. CAUITAL TO HAVE NEW NEWPAPER W. Sidney Pitman Designs New Y. M. C. A. Building—Other News Washington, D. C. June 21—Special the architect who planned the magnificent $100,000 house of the Colored Y. M. C. A. is W. Sidney Pittman, a designer of international fame, and the consulting engineer who arranged the physical features of the structure is Howard D. Woodson, one of the best architectural draughtsmen and construction engineers connected with the office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department. The contractor for the brick work on the building was also a colored man. Book lovers are reading with interest a little volume called "The Negro in Pennsylvania: Slavery, Servitude, Freedom; 1639-1651." The author is Edward Raymond Turner, professor of history in the University of Michigan. The essay won the Justin Winsor prize of 1910, offered by the American Historical Association for a study in American history. In clear and complete circumstance the Turner study points out the slow steps by which the black man in Pennsylvania, through the agency of the Friends organization, the abolitionists and others engaged in the altruistic work of human uplift, came ultimately into a civic and political equality with the white man. Acting Grand Master Henry Lincoln Johnson of the G. U. of O. F., has appointed W. L. Houston as the District of Columbia; member of the committee on transportation for the 16th B. M. C. Senator Warren of Wyoming is making a strenuous effort to prevent the abandonment of Fort D. A. Russell, an important military post near Chevonne, Wyo., which has been marked for elimination by the officials of the War Department. At this post is stationed the "Fighting Ninth" Cavalry with which Lieut. B. O. Davis is connected, and of which Rev. G. W. Prioleau is chapelh, and Wade H. Hammond is band master. A new race paper for Washington is proposed. The promoters who are discussing the possibilities of such a publication are men of means and represent the progressive spirit of the nation's capital. More information is promised later. Mr. Henry Lassiter, who managed the great meeting which Dr. Booker T. Washington addressed at Metropolitan' A. M. E. church two years ago, and another big affair in which Congressman P. P. Campbell participated, is planning a third monster mass meeting, to take place at an early date. The principal speaker on this occasion will be Congressman Richmond Pearson Hobson of Alabama. Gen. Jones Confers With President Taft. Cincinnati, O. June 17.—During the two recent visits of President Taft to the Queen City, Gen. Joseph L. Jones, Supreme Vice Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias and editor of the Pythian Monitor, and interesting private conferences with the Chief Executive. While the exact nature of the interviews is not given out, it is understood that some important phases of the work of the colored K. of P. were gone over carefully and the legal status of the order was discussed at length. In view of the recent opinion on the Georgia injunction case, handed down by Chief Justice White and the Supreme Court concurring (with the exception of Holmes and Lurton), the timeliness of the conference is rendered all the more striking. It is hinted in high circles that President Taft appointed Mr. White Chief Justice largely because of his knowledge of the federal tinge and broad sense of fair play possessed by the Louisiana jurist. Since the K. of P. decision, the appointment of the Chief Justice has grown very acceptable, where unanimous hostility originally reigned. Dr. Roman Talks to Graduates. Nashville, Tenn., June 18—Dr. C. V. Roman has returned from an extended itinerary, speaking to a number of graduating classes of well known schools. Dr. Roman is an inspiring talker on many subjects, and from reports received through the daily press, our esteemed fellow townman did himself and his community proud at every point visited. Dr. Roman's commencement engagements were as follows: Burrell Normal Academy, Florence, Ala., May 28; Chandler Normal School, Lexington, Ky., June 4; Clark Street High School, Evansville, Ind., June 5; Corel High School, Bowling Green, Ky., June 6; and Lincoln High School, Paducah, Ky., June 7. Principals, students and the people at large were delighted with the fine quality of the addresses delivered, and all seemed greatly benefited. Dr. Roman was the "runner-up" candidate for editor of the A. M. E. Church Review at the Kansas City conference, and would have been trilumphantly elected had his case been called prior to the elections at which laymen "were victors for important posts in the church. The clergy, fearful of the inroads made upon their "preserves," by the laity, tightened up the lines and combined against Dr. Roman. No man, however resourceful, could stand up under the fire with which they fought for this remaining "plum." the Review editorship. Dr. Roman, a true philosopher, is accepting the result with characteristic calmness. THE WOMAN AND THE CARROT Parable Taken From the Russian Folk Lore Points a Lesson Full of Meaning. This was the story my friend the Arkansas rabbi told. It is from the folk lore of Russia: A woman who had lain in torment a thousand years lifted her face toward heaven and cried to the Lord to set her free, for she could endure it no longer. And he looked down and said: "Can you remember one thing you did for a human being without reward in your earth life?" The woman groaned in bitter anguish, for she had lived in selfish ease; the neighbor had been nothing to her. "Was there not one? Think well!" "Once—it was nothing—I gave to a starving man a carrot, and he thanked me." "Bring, then, the carrot. Where is it?" "It is long since, Lord," she sobbed, "und it is lost." "Not so. Witness of the one unselfish deed of your life, it could not perish. Go," said the Lord to an angel, "find the carrot and bring it here." The angel brought the carrot and held it over the bottomless plt, letting it down till it was within reach of the woman. "Cling to it," he said. She did as she was bidden and found herself rising out of her misery. Now, when the other souls in torment saw her drawn upward, they seized her hands, her walst, her feet, her garments, and clung to them with despairing cries, so that there rose out of the pit an ever-lengthening chain of writhing, walling humanity clinging to the frail root. Higher and higher it rose till it was half-way to heaven, and still its burden grew. The woman looked down and gear and anger seized her—fear that the carrot would break and anger at her own peril. She struggled and beat with hands and feet upon those below her. "Let go," she cried. "It is my carrot." The words were hardly out of her mouth before the carrot broke, and she fell, with them all, back into torment, and the pit swallowed them up.—From "As Told by the Rabbl," by Jacob A. Rilis in the Outlook. Difficulties of English. When young Rudolph von Hammerpestle, the beloved son of the famous house of Von Hammerpestle of Posen, first came to America he found much difficulty in mastering the rudiments of the English tongue. His most trying experience was when he went to Boston and was told that it was required of him that he should inscribe his name on the register of whatever hotel he visited. After being shown to his room he looked hopelessly about in search of the article, but in vain. There was nothing of the kind in sight, so desirous of falling in with all the customs of the country, he rang up the office and informed the clerk of the situation. "I haff looked de room over all already yet," said he, "und I find no register here. Vot shall I do?" "This house is heated by steam," replied the room clerk. "Use the radiator." "Undt vot shall I use—der 'ink, or shall I scratch my name on it mit der pocketknife?" remanded Rudolf. "What are you talking about?" demanded the room clerk. "Seratch your name on what?" "Der radiator," returned Rudolf, "liss it dot I must write my name on der radiator instead of der register, or make better yet I write it on der vall—vot?"-Harner's Weekly. Something Tasty A mission worker was much interested in a lad in one tenement who was convalescing from a prolonged illness. On one visit to her small charge the worker carried with her a quantity of fine fruit for the lad, but this, to the astonishment of the big-hearted visitor, the father of the boy received with a somewhat dubious air, exhibiting absolutely no appreciation of the offering. When next the good Samaritan came to the tenement she naturally came to the father how the boy had enjoyed the fruit. "Pretty well" was the curt answer. "I presume he is about 40." "I presume he ate most of it." "Yes, he got away with it all right" said the parent carelessly, "but, miss, that boy is like me. He don't care for no dago fruit. He likes something dainty and tasty—for instance, pigs' feet."—New York Press. In a Class by Himself South Trimble, clerk of the house of representatives, was talking in Washington about a Kentucky orator. "He is more loquacious than eloquent," said Mr. Trimble, with a smile. "His mouth, to judge from the length of his speeches, must be as big as Peleg Anderson's." "Peleg Anderson entered a Louisville music shop to buy a mouth organ. He had a very large mouth, and though he tried every organ in the establishment, none of them seemed to suit him." "See here," the salesman said finally, 'we'll have to make an organ to order for you, I guess, Peleg. Just try your mouth along this plano." Military Ignorance "The late Gen. F. D. Grant," said a Washington official, "was once complaining in my hearing about an ignorant officer. He likened this officer to a certain Private Cheney. 'Where is Cheney? What the dickens has become of Private Cheney?' So, he declared, Cheney was sought for one whole afternoon; but no tidings of him turned up until a comrade finally said: 'Cheney? WIY. I saw Cheney about two hours ago. He was talking about going to get some guncotton to saw a button on his pants with, and that's the last been heard of him. I believe.'" Another Like Him.

They make a hobby of charity, and as thelr pocketbooks are not always as capacious as their hearts, they are continually arranging charity bazaars to raise money for all sorts of purposes. But the one recéntly given ts probably the most original of them all. It was organized under the patronage of the charming Com- tesse d'Eu, and the amount of 22,000 francs was raised for the wonderful purpose of enabling 110 bachelors of the dark continent to woo and wed the same number of black-siinned maids, . The result was proclaimed amid thunders of applause at the general assembly of the French Anti-Slavery Society, presided over by M. Le Myre de Villers, ‘This gentleman, who has played an extremely active part in France's com onial expansion, explained to his de lighted audience that the society had, in the past eighteen months, been holding an extensive investigation into tho matrimonial customs of the Negroes, as a result of which it had as: certained that only the men who had money enough to purchase wives wero able to wed, and that as it took them many years to save up the necessary sum, they were becoming elderly when they entered the marriage state. As for their juniors, they naturally had to remain single until they had ob: tained the wherewithal, and even when they had won a wife, they held her only “by a precarious title,” as her canny parents took advantage of the faintest pretext to ask for more money. + The tender hearts of the members of the society had been melted by the discovery that the course of true love did not tun smooth even in those primitive reglons, so they decided to facllitate wedlock among young Negro ‘couples by advancing to each prospect: ive bridegroom 200 franes, which Would be paid back in five years at tho rate of forty francs per annum, ‘The 22,000 francs will thus be de. voted to the setting up of 110 Negro households, by the way of a start, Pending the receipt of other generous donations, It is to be hoped that the parents of those prospéctive brides ‘will not hear of this marvelous stroke of good luck, as being already noted for their grasping proclivitles, they may be tempted to double the figure and now antlslavery. The wife's troubles often begin with her union, and she is usually bond-woman in every sense of the word, The old saying that charity begins at home seems to have been rather overlooked ‘on this occasion, BUYS $15,000 PROPERTY. ‘The Lee Chemical Co., a corporation ot colored men, of Aibany, Ga., of which Deal Jackson, of first bale ot the season fame,'is'a moving spirit, has acquired through the Chatham Real Estate and Improvement Com- pany, W.

He is a good, strong, fair-minded man, and would make pretty good timber for a presi- dent. ‘The schools and colleges in the south seem to be meeting with suc- cess In thelr efforts to raise money and it is right they should. Much is written about the larger fastitutions and vast sums given to them. Let the smaller ones have the limelight tor awhile. Our State street fair promises to ‘be one of the biggest things we have had in years, It comes at a tlme the elty will be filled with strangers and the merchants along the “Stroll should reap rich harvests. It is be- ing managed, as it should be, by mem- hers of our own race, and every en- couragement should be lent them to make it a success. Again we call attention to the fact that a church is no place for a po- litical meeting. While those in au- thority may have one Way of think: ing, there are members of the con- gregation who take just the opposite view. Invariably the doors are thrown open to the Republican party. Why discriminate against the Demo- erats? There may be a portion of the congregation who are Democrats. ‘The Hyde Park Protective Club in. form their followers: “A number of very desirable homes have been pur. chased by Negroes in Hyde Park who have the audaclty to tell us tt wo wish them to move we must pay them their price.” Isn't that a sad fondition?

True, the balance of power Is in their hands should they all be of the same way of thinking, but they are men in every sense of the word. They came pledged for a certain candidate and could not be bribed or coerced into voting other- wise. Its claimed that yast sums of money was offered many for their votes. Just why they were singled out—to use the vernacular of the streets—as easy marks 1s a question. ‘The whole burden of newspaper talk and cartoons was the possibility of the Negroes being bought over. We are proud to say that every man stood his ground and was a credit to the race to which he belongs. ‘There ts little reason why he should be loyal to elther candidate. The recognition received at their hands has been very meager. The man who §s fortunate enough hereafter to get their vote must pledge himself to better look after the welfare of our race.

IN CONCLIGION, What headliners the colored South- ern detegates have been having this week in the city press. It was in- teresting to read the various opinions of writers, from William Jennings Bryan, up to even real reporters, as to the stand those delegates would take and continue in the party coun- cils, ‘They were all agreed, however, that 66 delegates in united action would have been a balance of power and could have nominated either ‘Taft or T. R. But where in America ‘could 2 body of men be found all ‘with the same ideas politically? Rep- Tesenting as they did-difterent com- munities, how Impossible the thought they could be all harmonized. How Impossible, again, the thought since they were’ all American citzens that color should be a factor in making then a composite whole. Aren't they fighting for fust the opposite in citi zenship, that principles and public Dolicies’ should be the motive In go¥- ernment? Why should they segre- gate themselves politically, although it seems t- ve the tendency of the times to segregate the colored broth- er in various walks of life, ‘That tendency can not, except’In portions of the South, ever get great momen- tum. Whatever outside appearances May show, we believe this country wil yet be America for Americans, for all of the people, all of the time, The opportunity, then, which was theirs by accldent of cor to get to- gether and force their choice upon the convention, would soon have been offset by forces they would have set in motion, which would have been thelr undoing and political anninila- tion in this country. They would have made history, it Is true, but the philosophy of history ia not always patent on the face of things. Sitch & movement would have brought about segregation of the race which fs in the minority along all lines in the North, as well as the South. The gain of a few promises which need not be fulfilled would have been at bitter cost in the future, What a hue and ery also was ralsed about buying and selling of votes, and in every instance without 2 seintilia of evidence. No one really believes the character of the men of color was at all beneath that of the white dele- gates who composed the convention and if there was any bribery at all, jet It be to the shame of the party posses who in such a case would be most culpable, We know not of a single instance where any colored felegates proved recreant to the rust imposed upon him by his con- stituents and whether enlisted under he bauner of ‘T. R. or Taft we can ay from our intimate and near point ft view the colored troops “fought jobly.” ‘There will be no reduction t representation of votes from the South in national conventions not- withstanding the usual talk along hose lines, Such a policy would only ean O. K. to the in{quitous disfran- hisement laws of the South, which he Republican party has ‘always ondemned. 5 It is not that the Republican’ voters re not in the South that a delegate epresents 80 few real ‘voters, but jecause of those laws there which revent the voters and citizens of olor from caating their ballots there t having them counted ag they are ast.

The Lack of Punctuality—Religious and Social Affairs Delayed—The Art of Good Manners. By OD. W. Johnson, If there is any fault among colored People that needs an immediate rem- edy, it Is a lack of punctuality, to Tearn how necessary it is to be on time, to be prompt ana punctual in thefr engagements, to meet on time at social and public gatherings. It is perfectly absurd that so many ot our people, sometimes unconstously and sometimes wilfully, wholly dis. regard the important fact of punctu- ality. It is exceedingly annoying when one is invited to speak to an audience and the time Is set for a certain hour, the speaker arrives, probably a perfect stranger and finds no one even to show him a seat. This is s0 often the ease among colored People that pride in the race and shame for their tardy actions cause It to be reluctantly admitted. We have in our method of gather. ing what is commonly called, in the vernacular of the street, “colored people's time.” Tt fs a common thing for a meeting to be set for a certain hour, say $ p. m., and sometimes not even the janitor can be found about the bullding. It is from a half to three-quarters of an hour before the audien’e begins to arrive and it is 9 o'clock Defore there are enough people to whom the chairman, with any degree of pride, free from humil- ation, may safely introduce the speaker, Think ot the discouragin, effect it must have upon the snegiee, besides the apparent lack of interest shown in the purpose for which the meeting Is called. The same fault is also noticed in our church services, The time is usually 41 a. m,, but it Is often 12 o'clock before all of the peo- ple have arrived. The preacher ig Probably more than half through with his sermon, while in the mean. time stragglers are strolling in with no regard whatever for thelr inter Tuptions of the services. Thera should be more heed given to punc- tuality in all of oar relations in life, Again, there are some people who attend social entertainments of various Kinds who utterly disregard the rules and the art of good man- ners.

E. Wright. Dedicated to Mrs. M. J. Fornler on the death of her son who died June 1812. No need to carve on marble so white. The words are engraved on her heart. That nearly broke on that sad, sad night. When she broke by-bed, mother, I am going to God." The words were spoken by her dying son. Ere his spirit had taken its flight. "Good-by, mother, I am going home. I would Not be here," wore the words he spoke that night. Smiling sweetly as nearer and nearer the angels came. Singing to hosannas, peace be to His holy name. holy name. Why weep for him his life was complete, because patience at deus feet. Would you have him back in this world of care, His cross again to bear? Would you have him to suffer again, the fortunes of the body all rucked with pain? Lost to view to all who knew him, Lost to view forever in this grief laden world. Lost to view to the friends who loved him; But the father and mother, sister and brother. Who was faithful and true. Their footsteps may falter and eyes grow dim. But their loved one will never be lost to their view. Somewhere up in the realms above He was waiting for the dear ones he loved. Somewhere in that city of light. His starry crown shines radiantly Somewhere near the blink of the river, Our dear one is waiting to welcome us over. They spray flowers on his casket, They shed tears over his bier, They silently clasp each other's hands, For waiting of death has left a wound here. Here in the hearts that loved him best, Here in the hearts bowed down with grief. Mingling tears with each other we find relief. Sometime our benign kind mind Will be taken and taken and others left behind. Sleep on, dear one, sleep on. Beyond the gates of paradise we shall Sleep on. on, soul set free, sleep on. We would not have you back again. And in submission we will bow. And in submission "Thy will, oh, Lord, be done." Sleep on. Carter, Edw., 45 years, 1802 Armour Ave; June 17.

What Did He Say that for?—Say, Floored Him and Eased Out of the Auditorium Hotel. A delegate walked into the Keystone Hotel Thursday night with the air of Jack Johnson, and said to a party of friends, "Say, I just had to get me some 'cracker.' I could not stand that white man's talk any longer, and when a few white friends gave me assurance that they would stand by me I resented an insult that I trust all Negroes will resent, and that is about our women. Before telling me to remove my hat, he in that Southern way of bragging of what they did to niggers and how he treated Negro women in the South, and all a white man had to do was to tell him his place and he would get in it without any trouble; all this was talked of within my hearing. Then, too, he said, 'I will show you what to do—I will go over there and make that "nigger" take off his hat. "His friends watching him, he came over to me and said, 'Nigger, where u from?' and in the same breath remove my hat.

"I don't see that you are any better than a dozen other men I can take my pick from," said the manager. "You say you can sell tickets. So can they. Nobody can sell tickets if people don't come to buy." "No, they can't," said the man, "but I have the knack of seating people so an audience of 50 people will look like 400, and the house will never look empty." "There's a good deal in that," said the manager, and he gave the man the job. Mrs. Marryat="Oh, John, I didn't expect you home to lunch. We have nothing but smoked sausage in the house."

SPARKS FROM THE BAIL Winston's Spicy Gossip of Men and Events in the Railroad World. Mr. E. L. Booker, 3350 Wabash avenue, the fashion plate porter, in service of the Pullman Company, is still running to the city of Springfield, Ohio, his old homestead, over the Pennsylvania Railroad Company lines. There is no dispute to it; everyone admits the fact that the Chicago Defender has got em, and it only costs $1.50 per year, in advance. Address B. R. Abbott, 3159 State street. All porters who are playing Uncle Tom for passengers on the train should cut it out. Work on your merits and manhood. You will remain in the service much longer. Mr. Albert H. Miller, 4809 Langley avenue, who is holding a position as train and chair car porter in the service of the I. C. R. R. Co. between Chicago and St. Louis, Mo., is known as the man from Kentucky and is very witty. Here is Mr. Miller's latest toast when he is among his fellowmen, with his glass of water in his hand: "Here's to old Kentucky, the state where I was born; where the corn is full of kernels, and the colonels full of corn." Mr. John W. Hightower, 37 West 45th place, one of the polite ushers at the I. C. R. R. Co. station, is somewhat of a poet. Here is a line or two from him: "Mary had a little lamb, for which she didn't care; so she took it back and traded it to a Teddy Bear." Mr. Edward Brooks, a train porter in the service of the Chicago Great-Westry R. Co., between Chicago and Minneapolis, says money talks. It spoke to him once. The writer asked him what did it say? "Good bye," he replied. Mr. Boston Van Winkle, of New York City, who is in the service of the Erie Railroad Company as chef, is in Chicago once a week and he also proves to be somewhat of h poet. Read his lines: "Down in the kitchen a maiden fair, out of the hash was picking the hair." Ashes to ashes and dust to dust; if the street cars don't kill us the railroad must. What is a fallen star?

Tennyson possessed a pair of boots well night as long lived as those of the old farmer described by Richard Jeffries. William Allingham notes in his diary on March 2, 1881 that in Browning dined at Tennyson's last night. Tennyson was in great icrm. He said: 'This pair of dress boots is 40 years old.'
