The City's Most Magnificent Cafe, Formerly the Old Palace, Opened Wednesday Night with a Brilliant Display and a Crowd That Packed Thirty-First Street from State to Armour Avenue — Building Not Complete — Crowd Waits Patiently from Noon to Midnight to Get a Glimpse of Its Beautiful Interior. CHAMPION OPENS FESTIVITIES AT 9:30 P. M. Cafe de Champion Pronounced the Most Beautiful and Elaborately Furnished Establishment of This Kind in the City—Every Appointment of the Best—Hand-Painted Ceiling and Walls—Priceless Oil Paintings of Champion and Family—Friends Send Huge Floral Tokens—The Story of the Night. By J. Hockley Smiley. Mr. Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, opened the Cafe de Champion (formerly the old Palace), 41 West 31st street Wednesday night. Fresh from his history at Las Vegas and with the memory of Reno no doubt still in his mind, the champion, however, experienced one of the happiest moments in his life when he viewed a solid mass of his friends that filled 351st street from State street to Armour avenue awaiting a view of his place. This was at 9 p.m. Many of them had stood there since noon, while an army of workmen worked like demons to get the establishment in a semblance for the time of opening which was announced for 9 o'clock. Crowd Jams Street. The crowds that had lingered all day watching the final preparations became so dense after dark that street car traffic was hampered and the police detain kept busy in keeping the sidewalks open; but the crowd was a jovial one. There was no disorder; all they wanted was to see their peerless hero and get a glimpse of his cafe that had been made unduly prominent by a lot of sensational stories in the daily newspapers. Numerous street vendors paraded their novelties in and out of the crowd. The most popular of these novelties was a miniature frying pan with a piece of bacon in it typifying that wonderful telegram that encouraged the now undefeatable Mr. Johnson when his mother wired, "be sure and bring home the bacon." Champion Opens Festivities. It was shortly after nine o'clock when the champion, accompanied by his mother, arrived in one of his famous racing machines. His coming brought forth the mighty cheer and it took the united strength of two policemen to get the champion to the door of his place. Inside there was an air of expectancy that was only satisfied with his appearance. The word was at once given and the Cafe de Champion was opened. Contrary to all expectations Mr. Johnson had nothing to say, but contented himself in listening to an elaborate program of music and song and viewing the vast crowd that filled every available place as soon as the door was opened. W. H. Taylor's orchestra buffed forth in the down stairs buffet, while a piano was the music in the cafe above. Among the entertainers were such pleasing' singers as Miss Esmeralda Stathem, Miss Ethel Marlowe, Leola Johnson, Alberta Pelfer and Sidney Kirkpatrick. The Beautiful Interior. The Beautiful Interior. Those familiar with the old Palace marveled at the wonderful transformation. On the main floor the stage that occupied the south end had been removed and the whole converted into as pretty a room as can be found in Chicago. The delicately tinted walls and ceiling, the brilliant chandeliers and the exceptionally fine equipment of the room pleased the most fastidious. But the real beauty of this room is the large oil paintings that adorn the walls. They are all life size. There is one of the champion embracing his mother, one alone in ring costume, and another of himself and wife. This latter picture was taken in the winter time and shows Mr. Johnson and his wife in their magnificent furs. In addition there is another large painting taking up a half section of the room which is said to have cost $5,000. In a smaller frame is a picture of his lamented father. In the Dining Room Upstairs. The cafe takes up the entire second floor, here as below everything is upon the most elaborate scale. The decorations are principally in red with touches of gold. There is the same profuse decorations in oil paintings. Here the Cafe de Champion expects to excel the famous establishments throughout the world in the serving of the choice and rare vials. In the bay window stood two mammoth flower horseshoes, one from the Falstaff Brewing company and another without a card, but which it was understood was a gift from Sol Van Pragg. It was an occasion long to be remembered and there were none happier than Mrs. Tiny Johnson, the champion's mother. The third floor of the building, it is understood, has been fitted up for the exclusive use of the champion and his wife. Manager Starrett and His Help. Mr. Henry C. Starrett is the manager, and Mr. Wm. Marshall is the assistant manager. These two gentlemen are life-long friends of Mr. Johnson and through them he expects to give the public the best of service. Behind the bar Mort. Skil craft looms up radial/ and smiling as the head bartender. The other miscellaneous are --- Crowd Jams Street. The Chicago Defender. Bob Corothers, Bud Reid, Al Keith and Wm. Perry, Henry Johnson is cashier, while Earl Walker has charge of the large downstairs room. Short Jabs. A much prized gift was a souvenir program. Anyone fortunate enough to gain admission received one of these elaborately illustrated booklets gratis. The program is well gotten up, has cuts of the champion in many poses, and the most interesting story of Jack Johnson has been my pleasure to read. Although many of the daily newspapers delighted in quoting the champion in "dis and dat" and tried to be funny in a silly story about the capidors, yet they found Mr. Johnson the most popular man in the city of Chicago. It is not often that the mere opening of a cafe on a side street off the main line can attract the crowds that gathered to see the opening of the Cafe de Champion. The police department and the sargent in charge deserves credit for the splendid police arrangement. There were uniformed and plain clothed men, both colored and white, and although at times their patience was sorely tried, they never lost their temper. Someone remarked how many prominent downtown cafe and buffet proprietors were present. Another replied there was no wonder at all, for Jack Johnson was the prince of spenders and that he was just getting back a small portion of what he had spent. Mr. Frank P. George of Danabegay fame and Mr. W. L. Sledge were early arrivals with large and jolly parties. HERBIE LEWIS VS. THE GARRICK THEATER Justice seems to be the blinded goddess at the Garrick theater, but Mr. Edward Wilson, representing Mr. C. H. Lewis of 2211 Walnut street, has determined to remove the blinds and entered suit against the management for discrimination. Mr. Lewis accompanied a young lady to the theater last Wednesday evening to see the performance of "A Modern Eve," and was treated like a modern slave. His gentlemanly demeanor and soldierly bearing, being sergeant in Eighth Illinois and a machinist by profession, was not grace enough to save him from the scoundrelly insult at the hands of men for whom he fought in the Spanish-American war. Mary Ann Hogan, who ushered in the aisle where he had purchased tickets, informed the party that colored people were never seated upon the main floor. Her father is now in Ireland battling for respect and home rule, while she is in "Free America" a tool in the hands of vicious persons whose prejudices are above the law. Mr. Lewis was wise enough to keep one coupon for his seats and has a clear case against the theater management, which Mr. Wilson, acting for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, intends to push to the limit. We must have justice in Chicago, more we do not ask for, less will not content us. We must be eternally vigilant to enforce the penalty of fine or imprisonment against any man who denies us the right of citizenship. YOUNG ICE CREAM MAKER Loy Hibbs Has Charge of Large Factory—Makes Syrups and Candies. The days of "Smiley," the famous confectioner, recalled when one views Loy Hibbs at work at C. R. Walgreen and company's drug store at 39th and Cottage Grove avenue. Mr. Hibbs, although only 21 years old, is a first-class ice cream maker and an expert in the manufacture of syrups and candies. He has been with this firm for nearly two years and makes all the sweets for four stores. Mr. J. A. Gilbert, Ph. D., 3715 Forest Avenue, is a drug clerk at the same store. Walgreen & Co. are the kind of concerns that, having progressive ideas, they never go bankrupt. PROF. BAILEY'S LADIES' BAND Mrs. Sadle Wells, 3635 Dearborn street, and Miss Lewis of 39th and Armour avenue have returned from a ten days' trip to Milwaukee and Wakeshaw, Wls. Both of these ladies are members of Prof. Bailes Ladies Band whigh met with great success. Miss Lewis plays the cornet, while Mrs. Wells is an expert on the slide trombone. CHICAGO, DLL., SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1912. PROF. PRILLERMAN ATTENDS NATIONAL EDUCATION ASS'N. President of the West Virginia Institute Only Negro Delegate from that State. Prof. Byrd Prillerman, president of the West Virginia Colored Institute, is in attendance upon the National Education Association. Mr. Prillerman enjoys the distinction of being at the head of the list of active membership of the N. E. A. from the state of West Virginia and is the only colored teacher of his state who is a member of this organization. He became an active member at Toronto, Canada, in 1891, and has retained his membership ever since. The State School of which Mr. Prillerman is president, at Institute, near Charleston, West Virginia, is generally regarded as one of the leading state schools in this country for the education of Negro youth. The institution is located on 77 acres of land six miles out of the city of Charleston in the best portion of the Great Kanawa Valley. It is surrounded by a community of enterprising, intelligent Negro citizens. In fact, all the land in the immediate vicinity of the school is owned by Negroes. They have their own stores, postoffice, railway station, and public officers. The courses of study combine academic and industrial training on a higher plane than is usually given in the colored schools in this country. Persons who graduate from this institution are admitted to many of the best universities of the country on their certificates of work done at institute. In addition to a good, strong academic course, the girls are taught cooking, plain sewing, and millinery, and the boys are taught agriculture, carpentry, printing, blacksmithing, whewlingweight, brickmasonry and painting. The work of the various departments is so arranged that the advanced students go to the academic subjects in the morning and the industrial subjects in the afternoon, and the students in the lower classes go to industrial subjects in the morning and the academic subjects in the afternoon throughout the four years' course. They are thereby enabled to secure not only a good academic education, but a useful trade at the same time. Many of the graduates are holding prominent positions in the state of West Virginia and in other states. Among these are Prof. C. P. Coindexer, teacher of agriculture in Fisk University; Miss Katherine McRoberts in Wilberforce University; Mr. Floyd D. Price, teacher of blacksmithing in Mayesville, S. C.; Rollins W. James, teacher of agriculture in the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, Frankfort, Ky.; James A. Booker, who is doing demonstration work in agriculture under the United States government in Georgia; Albert C. Spurlock, teacher of Mechanical Engineering, Lawrenceville, Va., and Richard Lonsdale Brown of New York city, who is ranked by some as the second best artist in America. Prof. and Mrs. Prillerman were the guests of Dr. and Mrs. E. J. Bowles, 3019 Armour avenue. Among the entertainments arranged in their honor was a drive through the city, going over the same route they did when the professor came here nineteen years ago on his honeymoon. Both he and his wife were much pleased with their stay and while here he secured a few teachers to work in his school. THE WEEK IN TOLEDO. Church and Other Affairs of Note- Personal. Toledo, O., July 12—Miss Mabel Harris of Chicago is visiting Miss Irene Armbears of Woodwood avenue. The boat ride given Thursday, July 4, by the Warren A. M. E. church was quite a success, 553 persons being aboard. Leave items for the paper with Turner Taudy, agent, at shoe shining parlor, 704 Washington street, or with Mrs. Fred Vaughn, 7 North Erie street. Mrs. Lovell Price of Nelsonville, O., was called to Newcastle, Ind., by the death of her brother-in-law last Saturday, and upon her way home stopped in this city at Hotel Pleasant. Don't forget the boat ride to Sugar Island next Friday. This is the first excursion ever given to Sugar Island by the Third Baptist church. The Second Baptist church of Detroit will also be at the Island that day. Arrangements have been made by the two churches to give a silver loving cup to the church having the best all around athlete. The northern branch of the Woman's Mite Missionary society of the A. M. E. church convened in Warren A. M. E. church Wednesday evening with Mrs. Rose Johnson of Cleveland presiding. Evangelistic exercises marked the opening program, conducted by Mrs. Cora Brock of Cleveland, Ohio. Thursday morning's program opened with song and praise service, led by Sisters Young of Lima and Atilis of Toledo. Thursday evening at 7 o'clock the local society tendered the visiting delegates a reception. A welcome address in behalf of the local society was given by Mrs. Wm. E. Clemens, the local president, and by Attorney Albertus Brown in behalf of the citizens. Responses were made by Mrs. Savannah Allen of East Liverpool. The annual address was made by Mrs. Rose Johnson. The program closed with an address by Dr. J. M. Gilmore, presiding elder of the western district of the Northern Ohio conference. OTHERS CLAIM MME. BROWN FAMOUS ACTRESS Mme. Jennie Watts Brown, Who Scored Such a Brilliant Success in "Retribution" at a Recent Production of That Play, Is Highly Praised by Honorable Nelson C. Crews and Editor Lewis Woods of Kansas City, Mo., Who Claim That Chicago Cannot Call Her Their Own, as She Was Educated There—Graduated from Lincoln High School. A FOUR-YEAR GRADUATE IN DRAMATIC ART. The Pride of Chicago—Too Exacting Critics Pronounce Her Work Above the Average—Has Starred in the "Lady of Lyona" "East Lynne" "A Scrap of Paper," and "Damon and Pythias"—She Won Many Prizes in Oratory—Was a Member of Victoria Overall's Famous Dramatic Company, Managed by S. Boyd Middleton. 一 Mme. Jennie Watts Brown, who achieved such a brilliant success in Mme. Milnie Adams' four act drama, "Retribution," is not a native of Chicago according to Hon. Nelson Crews and Editor Lewis Woods of Kansas City, Mo. While in attendance at the national Republican convention and in praising Chicago talent they said: "Mme. Brown, who possesses, as you know, excellent dramatic ability, is not a native of Chicago." When questioned further it was learned she was a graduate of Lincoln high school, Kansas City, Mo., class of June 1, 1900. On this occasion Hon. Edward H. Morris of Chicago addressed the class of twenty-four graduates, giving them the motto "Manhood and womanhood, rather than herolism." The faculty at that time consisted of Prof. G. N. Grisham (Brown College), principal psychology; H. W. Dawley, A. B. (Oberlin), history and Latin; D. N. Oberlin, a. M. (Fisk), chemistry and physiology, and Anna H. Jones, Ph. B. (Oberlin), English and English literature. Miss Anna Jones, who is a Canadian by birth, was Mrs. Brown's tutor for four years in dramatic art. After she won the prizes in oratory many times at the high school, her teacher launched her out equipped for the fray in dramatic work. Mrs. Brown was a member of the only legitimate dramatic company in the west, organized and instructed by Victoria Overall, an elocutionist and teacher in the Summer School of Kansas City, the company being managed by S. Boyd Middleton. Mrs. Brown has appeared in Kansas City and other cities in plays such as "The Lady of Lyons," "East Lynne," "Rio Grande," "A Scrap of Paper," "Botany Bay," "Fanchon, the Crickett," and "Damon and Pythias." We can say with pride that Jennie Watts Brown has appeared in many plays in Chicago also, and Chicago claims her as her own. NOTED MUSICIAN ILL AT ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL. Mrs. Zelia Page Brown Recovering From Operation Plays in Band and Orchestra. Mrs. Zella Page Page Breaux of Langston, Okla., a patient of Dr. Dan Williams, is convalescing in St. Luke's hospital. Mrs. Breaux is the daughter of the president of the State University at Langston, Okla., and she is also a musician of rare ability. She is an accomplished pianist, also leader of the college band and orchestra with the unusual ability to take any instrument in either. She received her musical training in Boston. MILLER-SMITH. Phil R. Miller and Mrs. Sarah Smith of Grand Forks, N. D., Were Married Thursday, July 4. Phil R. Miller and Mrs. Sarah Smith of Grand Forks, N. D., were married Thursday, July 4, at the residence of the bride. Mr. Miller has made Grand Forks his home for some years, and we understand that Mrs. Smith has always lived there. Mrs. Smith, from all reports, is a lovely woman and owns several nice pieces of fine property there. Mr. Miller was one of Chicago's most popular men and was one of the first colored men to make a jubilee company a real success. He owned and managed one of the most successful jubilee companies since the days of the original Fisk Jubilee company. He also owned and managed the "Hottest Coon, Dixie Company," which was a big success the first year. Mr. Miller is known from Main to California and from the Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico, and he always moved in the best society, but there is no city where his friends extend hearty congratulations than in Chicago to himself and wife. Mr. and Mrs. George Preston, 3455 Dearborn street, who are spending their vacation in the West, are reported this week at Colorado Springs and Pueblo, Colo. To be Held at the Seventh Regiment Armory, Aug. 21, 22 and 23—Delegates from Nearly Every State in the Union to be Present—Local Committee to Work. The Thirteenth Annual Meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held in Chicago, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Aug. 21, 22 and 23, 1912. The Lost Negro Business League of Chicago has secured the Seventh Regiment Armory for the session. Delegates intending to be present should, as early as practicable, notify W. D. Neighbors, Secretary Chicago Negro Business League, 28th and Wabash avenue, Chicago, of such intention, so that proper accommodations may be reserved. Last year, nearly every state in the union was represented at the annual meeting held in Little Rock. Officers of the organization are now earnestly at work to secure at Chicago an even larger gathering. The Little Rock meeting set a high standard in point of attendance, attractiveness of program, and hospitality of its citizens, but the Chicago League is striving to have the coming meeting surpass all previous ones. The Chicago Chamber of Commerce joined with the Local Negro Business League inviting the National Organization to meet in Chicago, and is co-operating to welcome and entertain those who may attend. Very low reduced rates will be offered from all parts of the country, and especially from the South for the meeting. Local Leagues are urged to elect delegates at once. Experience has shown that the railroad authorities in every section of the country are willing to arrange for Special Pullman or Tourist Car parties. It is earnestly desired that plans for such parties be arranged for as early as practicable. Some of the strongest men and women of the Negro race will be present and speak at the coming meeting. These gatherings annually bring together a group of hopeful, energetic, aspiring and successful men and women who are doing their part of the world's work. Sessions of the following affiliated organization will be held at the same time: The National Negro Bankers' Association; the National Negro Funeral Directors' Association; the National Negro Press Association; and the National Negro Bar Association—a group of the strongest organizations in the country among the Negro people. Booker T. Washington, president. Emmet J. Scott, corresponding secretary. J. C. Napier, chairman executive committee. ARMY VETERINARY SURGEON VISITS CHICAGO. Famous Ninth Cavalry Veteran, Mr. Wm. H. Butler, Who Studied During Leisure Time and Won High Post. Mr. William H. Butler, who for the past six years has been a member of the famous Ninth Cavalry, is visiting a few days in Chicago with his brother Mr. Francis Butler at 0157 Ada street. Mr. Butler represents the thrifty and ambitious type of the young Negro not contented with just being an ordinary soldier. He studied veterinary surgery, leading the class in the examinations and has since been appointed veterinary surgeon of the entire regiment. We feel proud of Mr. Butler's record, as such remarkable achievements play a principle role in the historical drama of the race. Always strive to improve your condition, as he who is satisfied with his present attainments will never become famous. WEARS MICE ON HER ANKLES. New York, June 23.—Physicians as well as fashion creators are interested in the development of the latest fad which introduces rodents as a hosiery decoration. Physicians admit it is unaccountable. But the rodent hosiery is here and it is being worn. It made its appearance on fib avenue today. A fashionably gowned young woman stepped from a limousine, lifting a pair of slipped feet, with a mouse ornamenting each ankle of her silken stockings, and a panic almost ensued. Pedestrians who caught sight of the pair of animals reproduced in a life-like manner on her well turned ankles stooled to verify their discovery and then all the feminine observers fled. The others remained to render assistance if needed. With manners demure and an air of utmost unconcern, the girl with the rodent hosiery, disappeared in the shop, where she almost caused another panic.—The Philadelphia Tribune. THE WATSONS CELEBRATE. The fourth day of July was celebrated by the Watson family at the residence of Mr. R. B. Watson. There are about 40 members of this family.

BILLY MAC CLAIN ENJOYS LIFE AT OLD HOMESTEAD BILLY MAC CLAIN ENJOYS LIFE AT OLD HOMESTEAD Returns After Absence of Twenty Years and Enjoys Life at His Boyhood Home with His Mother—Attends the Baptist Church and Listens to Sermon Prepared for His Benefit, Entitled "Mother's Son"—Addresses the Congregation — Gives Some Wholesome Advice and Tells Them to Wake Up. SEES LITTLE CHANGE IN 35 YEARS. But Deplores the Fact There Has Not Been More Rapid Advancement During That Time—"Come Out of that Hovel, Throw Off that Coat, March on and Fight it Out, You Have Got to Die Anyway—What is a More Glorious Death than to Die Fighting for Your Rights." (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Princetown, Ind., July 12.—The return of the world's famous Billy MacClain to this his boyhood home after an absence of twenty years is an occasion not soon to be forgotten. He came to see his mother; the entire population eager and anxious to do him honor. Sunday he attended the Baptist church and listened to Rev. Wardell's sermon on "Mother's Son." Many of the older members who knew Billy in his childhood were moved to tears. After the sermon Rev. Wardell insisted upon him addressing the members of the church, leading him by the hand to the altar. It is said that his mother was fearful that he would talk about pugilists, theaters and other things in which he was interested, but she and others were greatly surprised at what they heard. Billy Preaches Splendid Sermon. Among other things he said, "I don't worry about myself, as long as I can keep my mother right. As long as I can keep my mother right, I am right. If I did not have a mother I would look after some one else's mother. I am destined, it seems, to care for others and I cannot do any thing for myself unless I do for others. I love my people. Oh, if they could read my thoughts. If I could instill into their minds what I know and have gone through, they would be a race in the next generation second to none. "As your good pastor said, you are afraid of going into debt, afraid to take a chance and set sinfully by and let your root rot down on your heads before you make an attempt to repair it. So it is in every branch of life. Of course there are exceptions." Speaks of the Past. "I sat in this church thirty-five years ago together with my mother and listened to Rev. Clay. Today more than a quarter of a century has passed. I am here again and see many, who have not moved a step further in advance. Come out of that hovel, Throw off that coat, march on and fight it out. You have got to die anyway; what is more glorious than to die fighting for your rights? "They say that a rolling stone can gather no moss, well a sitting one does not either because you are sitting in a barren field. If you are rolling you have a chance to pick up something here and there and with a little judgment you can always have something for a rainy day." Goes to See the Sick. Billy donated liberally to the church, went around to see some of the sick, among whom was a Mr. Trice, who was hurt recently in the mine. Together with his sister they sat up with him all night and it is said that after Billy had rubbed him he was much better, so much so that the next day he threw his cane away and went around to thank him. Billy didn't want any thanks and told him so. Like Rev. Allen of the A. M. E. church we say that we need more MacClains. MAN IS MADE OF CLAY AND, LIKE A · MEERSCHAUM PIPE, IS MORE VALUABLE WHEN HIGHLY COLORED. The Bulboo tribe of Eastern Africa has secured from Uncle Sam 20,000 Bibles, to be used for the dissemination of the Christian religion among the border tribes. We would not be surprised to learn that 20,000 yards of strong hemp rope had been furnished by him for distribution among the southern states to make easier the work of the mobs in lynching the Negro. "Uncle Sam's arm is long, but his eyesight is evidently very poor, for in his eagerness to bring civilization through Christianity to the heathen in Africa, he has chosen to be blind to the heathenism of Christian America in hanging and burning our people. "Christianity begins at home" is undoubtedly a much used and worn out plattitude, but we may be pardoned for using it here, as it serves to illustrate the alarming inconsistency of Uncle Sam when he weeps at the heathenism of Africa and tactly approves of the barbarian of America." "The Quiet Observer" in the Louisville News. THE WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PRICE 5 CENTS GEORGE JONES KILLED BY TRAIN. Loved by Everyone for His Good Morals — Educated by Mrs. Britton.

One Moonlight Night By DONALD ALLEN There was no particular excitement when the Hon. John Watkins and his son James arrived at the mountain resort on an August day. The Hon. John was sixty-five years old and rich and a widower. His son was twenty years old and confiding and fat. But for the son's confiding nature it would not have been known to all the guee three days that the guee meaning his old man, was on the lookout for a second wife, and he wanted a young one at that. The Hon. John neither denied nor confirmed the story. He simply looked about like a man who would marry if he found the right woman. There were mammas who secured introductions to him when they heard of his wealth, and there were a very few daughters who looked at him from afar off and wondered if they wanted another grandpa. It was when the Widow Savage arrived that the flutter began. She was fair and forty. She had the independent toss of the head that goes with widowhood after the first year. She had little ways with her eyes and mouth that made all the other women jealous the very first day. Of course, the stupid men simply looked upon her as a widow, but it was her own sex that unmasked her. When one of them said: "That widow has come here to catch a man!" all repeated it in chorus. There were plenty of young people at the resort. Some widows, as soon as hearing that the Hon. John was wife-hunting, would have gone man-hunting in return. The Widow Savage didn't. She eluded him. She didn't coddle the fat son, as some women did. She forced father and son to keep their distance and selected only after three or four days. Her victim was a young man. He had already tangled himself up with a blue-eyed girl a year younger, but that fact did not sway the widow the least bit. When she got ready to appropriate him she did so. The blue-eyed girl made a very poor attempt to show the people she didn't care, and then it was notice that the Hon. John was giving her all attention. They sat together and walked together and talked together, and the fat son saw things and took his father to task by saying: "Now, gov. don't make a fool of yourself. That girl won't make a mammy for me. Why don't you go for the widow!" "James, the widow is blase," was the reply. "The second time a woman marries she marries for money. She marries to boss the resort. She marries hoping her husband will soon get off the earth and give her a third show." "But she's a staver, gov. Fine looker, and what a walk she has on her! If you are elected to congress next year what a team you make!" "But the Widow Savage, James, has almost snubbed me.

John's diagnosis was all wrong, the Widow Savage wrest herself in his way the very next day and was most entertaining. The nose of Miss Blue Eyes was out of joint again. Her second flirtation was spilled by the widow. Her eyes flashed with anger, and when the Hon. John asked her to sit in one of the grottoes she coldly declined. "Forget her, governor, and go for the widow!" was the advice of James, who didn't do any flirting but kept his eyes open. "Blase, James—blase! Blase and artful! She'd twist me around her finger like a string. I will toy with her now and on, but my mind is made up on Miss Smith. In fact, I have already talked love to her and led her to expect a proposal." Miss Smith was walking by herself in the hotel grounds. She was thinking of widows as she walked—one widow in particular. Miss Smith was classed 'way up at the head of smart, good-looking girls, and she had been humiliated. She bit her lip and gritted her teeth and felt the tears start as she sauntered. Her mother had said it didn't matter in the least, but it did matter. It mattered just the difference between victory and defeat, and—and—— And then the Widow Savage suddenly appeared and took her arm and walked her up the path to the Outlook, and when they were seated on the rocks she softly said: "I am not your enemy, but your friend. You don't wish to marry that old man, do you?" "Mercy, no!" was the reply, as Miss Smith forgot her desire for revenge. "Well. I do." "But you—you got Frank away from me." "And I'm going to give him back. I was just using him as a means to and end. I called him a booby a moment ago, and he'll be on his knees to you tomorrow. The Hon. John is to be my next husband." "But how—how do you work things so? "By being a widow. Now, listen to me." The evening came on with a full, clear moon. The moon so worked on the sentimental nature of the Hon. John, as well as the surrounding corn crop, that he invited Miss Smith to wander with him. To his great joy she accepted his arm. They walked as far as Seal Rock and then sat down and gazed at the moon. Porpoise Rock. Fish Rock and Whale Rock she were near at hand. After the silence had lasted four or five minutes the Hon. John cleared his throat. The noise set the frogs in the pond a piping. After another interval he took Miss Smith's hand in his. There came a third interval, and then he began to tell her his life history. It was a sad one. It was full of step-fathers and step-mothers and boils and colic and kicks from cows that cured not for his forlorn condition. He had married and not been happy, and lost his wife and not been happy over that, and for years and years had lived a lonely life with only a fat son to cheer him. He was rich, but lonely. He was rich, but he yearned. He wanted a fireside with a cat and a wife. He Finest and largest colored hotel in America. First class accommodations for married people. Everything new and up-to-date.

At intervals of about a foot, as rarked off on a tape measure, Miss Smith sighed and cuddied, but that was all. As the Hon. John brought his story down to date and his voice broke and he had to use his handkerchief to wipe away the scalding tears. Miss Smith's own handkerchief got away from her and the night breeze carried it to Porpoise Rock. She twisted away her hand and ran after it and even disappeared behind the rock for an instant. She had returned and taken her seat again and surrendered her hand by the time the Hon. John had chased the tear away and was ready to say: "And now, love, it's for you to say whether this lonely life shall continue or not." The hand he held squeezed his. "I have loved you since the first moment I saw you." A harder squeeze. "And I ask you to be my wife." "I will, John!" "By thunder, it's the widow!" exclaimed the Hon. John, as he scrambled to his feet. "And we'll say a month from today if that will please you!" The Hon. John hurried away to the hotel to consult his fat son. "She's got you tight, gov, and you'll have to go through with it." was the information extended. "Put-up job, but breach of promise and all that if you don't stand by your word. Splendid looker! Splendid dresser! Superb walker! Say, parent, you just missed making an ass of yourself. Get a move on you!" And the Hon. John did, and they say he has never regretted it. Writing With Invisible Ink. There are several ways in which two persons can correspond with each other unknown to even the persons before whose eyes the very letter is held. For instance, new milk may be used as ink. When dried this is invisible, but if coal dust or soot be scattered upon the paper the writing becomes legible. Diluted sulphuric acid, lemon juice, solutions of nitrate and chloride of cobalt or of chloride of copper write colorless, but on being heated the characters written with the first two become black or brown, and the latter green. And when the paper becomes cool the writing disappears, leaving the paper blank again. Two good invisible inks are made by saltpeter dissolved in water, and equal parts of sulphate of copper and sal ammoniac dissolved in water. Why Not Try a Hammer?

The obstacle encountered by expanding commerce in this instance is the portion of Ohio. For him and his little hardware store, located midway between North Canal street and the Chicago river, on the south side of West Lake street. As a simon-pure adherent to stand-patism John Walsh has completely eclipsed the late originator of that term. Now, John Walsh is not clinging to the policies of any particular political coterie, but is standing put firmly in his little shop, which is a lone remaining section of a once fairly large building. His legal or moral right to stand firm on the privileges of his five-year lease of the 25x40 foot shop is disputed by no one, although a mammoth ignored all argumen. As a last exp plan of allowing rear its steel glo roof of the little basement, and er slides, was resorted. Now Walsh is on all sides, top the front, which own, free and unexpiration of the march of commuted. Poodle Cause of Death and Arrests MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.—One little white French poole attacked a Minneapolis policeman the other night. The policeman shot the poole. The poole's mistress attacked the policeman. A riot call was put in for the police. When the din of battle subsided, the poole's mistress and one man were under arrest for disorderly conduct, and the poole lay dead in the street and the policeman was feeling under cover of darkness to his home and a whole pair of trousers. The poole, cause of all the trouble, was "Snoozums," pet of Mrs. Bertha Forslund. The policeman who was attacked and who shot "Snoozums" was Police Driver David Melbouff, and the man whose championship of the poole resulted in his own arrest gave the name of Robert Bonsman at central station. Policeman Melbouf, who is driver at the South Side station, was riding home on a bicycle at 10 p. m. according to his story the poodle ran from the walk and seized him by the leg of the trousers. The poodle pulled, Melbouf left the bicycle, the trousers gave, the policeman was free, there was a shot and "Snoozhums" rolled over in the dust. It was at this stage of the conflict, according to Policeman Melbouf, when he was complete master of the field, that Mrs. Forstund appeared on the scene. "You have killed my pet. You have Uncle Tom Bloodhounds Are Eaters Uncle Tom Bloodhounds Are Eaters AN BEEF COUNT UP EVERY DAY TOO ST. LOUIS.—Four large hounds, possessed of appetites commensurate with their size, are perplexing William U. Halbert, of Belleville, public administrator of St. Clair county, Illinois. The dogs formerly belonged to an "Uncle Tom's Cabin" show owned by E. C. Chunn, who died in East St. Louis several months ago, and Halbert says they rapidly are eating up all that is left of the estate. The hounds, each one of which stands a few hands shorter than a small pony, came by their appetites honestly, it would seem. For years they chased the elusive Eliza across the paper mache tee, always just a trifle too far behind to sink their teeth in the persecuted young woman. After the show was closed they cried for Eliza for a while, but later signified they would be satisfied with plain, ordinary beef, or something better. When Halbert first came into pos When Halbert first came into pos session of the dogs the rest of the es Frisco Laborers Find a Wine Cellar SAN FRANCISCO—That men may drink champagne on a steam beer salary has received convincing proof. Around the ruins of the Grand Hotel at Stevenson and New Montgomery streets were a lot of $2-a-day laborers the other day who were nursing assorted "heads," but who were very happy just the same. During the work of clearing the ruins an old rock crusher that stood on the lot was toppled over under the instructions of the foreman. The foreman, the day being hot, then adjourned to a nearby buffet to quench his thirst. When he returned to the field he found that every man jack of his laborers had disappeared. Their coats were still hanging around on fences and the foreman was puzzled, not having reason to believe there had been a walk-out, until the sound of popping corms, coming from the near distance, mingled with gusty laughter, attracted his attention to where the rock crusher had stood. He hurried over there to discover his entire crew sitting around the floor of the wine cellar that had been exposed, drinking the cream of the choice stock of liquors that had made the old Grand hotel bar famous. --- building now in the course of construction must have the few feet occupied by Walsh's shop if the northern face of the structure, when completed, is to present an unbroken front. "Perhaps they thought I would take an afternoon off, tie my lease up with pretty pink ribbon and carry it over to them on a silver tray, decorated with American Beauty roses." "Well, you see how bad they were mistaken. I'll have no truck with them. I'm here to stick. I've my lease and it runs for three years yet, and here you'll find me when the three years are done. I'm right on this spot, running my shop to suit myself and I see no reason for moving." The entire area, bounded by West Randolph, North Canal and West Lake streets, and one of the present buildings of the concern, with the exception of Walsh's little store, was in readiness for the construction work to be begun. And Walsh steadfastly imputed all arguments. As a last expedient, the unique plan of allowing the new structure to rear its steel girders over the very roof of the little store, excavating the basement, and erecting walls on three slides, was resorted to. Now Walsh is being builted around on all sides, top and bottom, except the front, which will remain his very own, free and unchallenged, until the expiration of the lease, and "the march of commerce" goes on unhalted. killed my baby, 'Snoozlums,'" the woman is said to have shrieked as she stepped over the body of the fallen poole and toward the policeman, who, busy with the trousers which had been torn, was somewhat at a disadvantage. "I didn't want to hit the woman," said Policeman Melbouf, "so I just held her off." About this time, according to Melbouf, Robert Bronsman took a hand in the fray. This made things easier for Melbouf for Bronsman was not a woman. The battle raged merrily. In the meantime neighbors, hearing the barks of "Snoozluns," the shot, the screams of the woman, had turned in riot calls for the police. Down the street came the central station patrol wagon loaded with blue coats. The reinforcements found Melbouf holding his ground and also holding the woman and the man who had taken up the fight. Leaving "Snoozluns" where he lay in the street the police took the man and woman in the patrol wagon and to central station, where charges of disorderly conduct were placed against both. tate of the one-time owner of the show was intact, and he even could afford to buy porterhouse for the animals if they insisted on having it. Halbert hadn't had charge of the estate long, however, when the dead owner's father, J. C. Chunn, filed a claim for the personal effects of his son. These personal effects consisted of a pasg coach and scenery and other paiphneralla necessary to the show. Halbert fought the giving up of the passenger coach with the idea that if the worst came to the worst he could house the hounds in it and ship them from place to place that they might "board around" on their relatives. He lost the suit, however, and found himself the mortified possessor of the dogs, which, after the manner of their kind, lost no time in signifying they would be pleased to sit down to a good meal. So far they have cost him more than $100, and none of them has indicated he is ready to get old and die or quit eating just because the novelty has worn off. "If they were elephants," Halbert solloquizes, "I could feed them hay. They eat as much as a horse, but they won't touch onts. I hate to think that meat is higher than it has been in 20 years." FER ONCT WE FEEL LIKE TH RICH After the wreck of the hotel in 1906 no one gave a thought to the wine cellar and the stock of old wines, assuming that the stock had been ruined. Colonel Kirkpatrick of the Palace, when advised of the find and asked what disposition he wanted made of the wines, said: "Let the laborers dispose of it. The wine is theirs by right of discovery. For once in their lives let them drink the wine that men drink who can better afford it and who used to drink it in the Grand hotel bar in the old days." Barrel Cleaning Made Easy. A machine which thoroughly cleans 300 barrels an hour by washing them inside and out and rinsing them several times has been invented. TELLS OF IRELAND Scene Forms Regular Panorama of Beauty—Mountain, Lake, Moor and Meadow Combine to Make Picture Rarely Seen. Killarney—Killarney has been so often and so vividly described by poets and other literary lights, and its beauties so often reflected by the painter, that attempts to say anything original about it would be almost an impossibility. When one speaks or writes of Killarney it means to those who have traveled extensively, that practically the last word has been said in defining natural beauty or artistic surroundings. Set amid a series of surrounding hills, the highest of which rises to more than 3,000 feet above the sea level, the scene of which the ancient town is the center forms a regular panorama of beauty. Mountain, lake, moor and meadow combine to make a picture rarely seen, even by those who have traveled in many lands. A climate mild as it is possible to conceive, sunshine and showers, or as a distinguished poet has described it, "smiles and tears" alternating, the wind from the mountains tempered by the milder breezes of the lakes. Killarney is not alone a beauty spot in nature, but a health resort as well. The traveler walking down to the water's edge from the neighborhood of the Victoria hotel at the lower end of the lake, when the sun rises in the morning or sets in the evening, will see unfolded before him a picture which will finger in the memory while he lives. A mite or so across the lake from Innisfallen, Ross castle is in view, one of the most picturequesta of the ancient rulers around Killarney. Its tall quadrangular tower, or keep, was originally inclosed by outworks, built by one of the family of O'Donoghue Ross and believed to date from the fourteenth century. Its spiral stair of stone leading to the top commands an interesting view of the lower lake, the islands and the mountains all around. Almost beneath it are the remains of the old Abbey of Muckcross, founded in 1440 by the McCarthy family on the foundation of a much older church destroyed by fire in 1192. The ruins of the church and convent, measuring about 100 feet in length, and consisting of choir, nave, transept, tower and choister, still remaining nearly perfect, despite the lapse of centuries, with a beautiful quadrangle of arches, some with pointed and some semicircular heads, constitute one of the most picturesque of all the Irish ruins. In the center of the square within the abbey is a yew tree, said to be as old as the abbey itself. One of the quaintest of the traditions connected with the mountains environing Killarney is associated with the "Devil's Punch Bowl" and Mangerton mountain. Rowed through the lakes by one of the veteran boatmen of the town, he enlivened the excursion by a series of stories which several of his listeners felt would not have done any great discredit to the late Baron Munchausen. His version of what the "Devil's Punch Bowl" meant, as contained in the legend still credited in the locality, his own country gets too hot when his own country gets too hot for him, goes up to the punch bowl and takes his whisky hot there, or, as the old oarsman said, "Or maybe a 'Tom and Jerry,' as we used to call it when I lived in Boston." When the traveler has rowed across the lakes, and listened to one of these [Illustration of a coastal landscape with a body of water, rocky shoreline, and a mountainous backdrop]. Corner of Beautiful Killarney. old boatmen spin his yarns, even though they be only fresh water ones, he is perfectly prepared to believe the final tale as he passes by a little island known as "O'Donoghue's prison," and beside which he is informed that "O'Donoghue's white horse" periodically glides across the lake with O'Donoghue on horseback, toward Ross castle. The tradition of the neighborhood is, as given out by our guide, that this old chieftain of the Glens "gave his prisoners a meal a day and as much water as they could drink" while he held the foreigner at bay, and refused to allow him to enter the kingdom of Kerry. Man's Start In a Garden Louisville, Ky.—"When God wanted to give man a chance, he started him in a garden; but when Calm's crime called for retribution, he built a town," declared Rev. Dr. Charles T. Thompson of New York, in speaking on the report of the board of foreign missions. He was emphasizing the work of the church and country life department of the board, the report declaring that the rural regions, once the bulwark of the church, "have become sources of moral peril to the nation."

Much of the language used in various sports is our inheritance from the middle ages. Different kinds of beasts when in companies were distinguished by their own particular epithet, which was supposed to be in some manner descriptive of the habits of the animals. To use the wrong form of these words subjected the would-be sportsman to ridicule. Many of these terms have passed away, but some of them are still retained. This list from the middle ages is still good usage today. A "pride of lions," a "lope of leopards," a "herd" of harps and of all sorts of deer; a "bevy" of roses, a "sloth" of bears, a "singular" of boars, a "sounder" of wild swine, a "route" of wolves, a "harras" of horses, a "ray" of colts, a "stud" of mares, a "pace" of asses, a "barren" of mares, a "team" of oxen, a "drove" of kine, a "flock" of sheep, a "trite" of goats, a "skulk" of foxes, a "down" of hares, a "next" of rabbits, a "clowder" of cats, a "shrewdness" of apes and a "labor" of moles. Also of animals when they reified to rest, a hart was said to be "harbored," a roebuck "bedded," a hare "formed," a rabbit "set." Two greyhounds were called a "brace," but two harriers were called a "couple." There was also a "mute" of hounds for a number, a "kennel" of raches, a "litter" of whelps and a "cowardice" of curs. This kind of descriptive phrasiology was not confined to birds and beasts, but was extended to the human species and the various propensities, natures and callings. A quantity of extraordinary and quite unknown fish has been landed by a trawler at Granton, England. The fish were caught while the vessel was engaged in trawling in the North sea. Fish-curers and experts state that they have never seen this species before. It has the appearance of a herring, but the head is pointed and the tail forked, while the eye covers the whole side of the head. Heart or Man and Horse.

You said you wanted to employ a man who was a total stranger to fear." "Are you a brave man?" "I am, sir. I have given proof of my courage in many parts of the world." "Yes?" "I have faced bullets in Mexico and machetes in Cuba." "Good!" "I helped to defend the missionaries against the Boxers, and I was present at the siege of Port Arthur." "Fine." "I have fought the infuriated walrus of Baffin bay and the maddened bull elephants of Central Africa, and I went through an Armenian massacre without losing my nerve." "You seem to be the man I want. Would you be willing to go out on a field in front of 20,000 fair-minded, sport-loving Americans and umple a baseball game honestly, deciding against the home team when necessary?" "So that's the job, is it?" replied the man of courage, and broke into a cold perspiration and a run for the door simultaneously. The Wandering Jew Matthew Paris and Roger Wendover identified the Wander Jew as Carthophilus, a porter in the household of Pontius Pilate. Other authorities identify him as Ahasuerus, a cobbler of Jerusalem. The legend is far older than the events which it proposes as its central feature. In the course of its popularity throughout the middle ages it has acquired many foreign elements by accretion. ```markdown ``` R. W.

The 'sexton of a fashionable New York church was sweeping into a large mound the bright purple, red and yellow discs of confetti which littered the church entrance and steps. "This month," he said, "I have had already 35 weddings in my church. And at every one of these weddings paper confetti was thrown at the bride instead of rice. "The confetti fashion is very welcome to us sextons. When rice was used our churches were overrun with mice. The saying, 'As poor as a church mouse,' was then meaningless. Why, in my church, where weddings are so popular, several hundreds of mice—fat chaps they were, too—found an ample food supply in the rice that was sprinkled over the brides. "Now that rice has been abandoned for paper confetti, these mice have all disappeared. They were starved out. They couldn't live on paper." Bending with difficulty to collect a few obstinate pieces of the bright paper confetti that stuck to the floor, the old sexton added: "Of course, these bits of paper, are much more awkward for me to sweep up rice than rice. But, even so, I hope the confetti fashion has come to stay." "Systematic Burglar." A burglar in New York was in such a hurry to leave a house at which he called professionally that he left behind him a book containing a list of the places he had "burgled," alphabetically indexed. When arrested he informed the police that he was a "systematic burglar." aster eigs Ag 4 The World's Greatent Weekly. | ie Dernwpen co, PUBLISHERS, %. §, ABBOTT, LL.

EQUAL RIGHTS FOR THE NEGRO A Timely Editorial from The Chicage Dairly World, “A few days ago, in an editorial entitled, ‘Dagoes, Polacks and Shee nees,’ we pointed out the foolishness of the working class dividing itecl along racial lines and calling each ‘other suck names as the ones just mentioned. “One of the readers of The World asks why we have nothing to say about the ‘nigger.’ Are we afrald to include the Negro in our common ‘brotherhood? | “For the benefit of this reader and every other reader of The World, let “us say once for all that the Socialist party stands for equality of oppor- ‘tunity for all races, regardless of ereed or color. “A brotherhood which does not In- clude the Negro as well aa all other Faces Is no real brotherhood at all. The Negro has suffered as much if not more than any other race from ‘unjast digerimination, and we aro go- ing to do everything in our power to put an end-to this injustice. “Unfortunately, it 1s only too :true thet many of the workers have: not yet\overcome ‘their racial prejugices. Butlwe will make little progress’ until ‘we rpcognize that there can be iio real ‘democracy which does not grant equal rights to everybody. “Again we say, ‘Workers lay aside ‘all racial prejudices. Unite as broth- ‘ers and comrades working in a com- mon cause, United to establish a true soclal and Industrial democ- racy.’” " There is bardly anything that can be added to the above, excepting con- gratulating ourselves on the fact that at last we have reached the vital spot of our ‘heretofore energetic ef- forts towards harmonizing those who ‘oppose us, It 1s a fact, as a general proposition, that there have been edl- torlals before on this burning tssue of the day, but, coming from the cap- {tallatie journais, there was no just cause to be elated over it, as the Tea. sons were obvious. However, to note the stand that is now taken by a Jour- nal owned and operated by the mid. dle class, those that we, as a matter of fact, are competing with in the Aally strife of life, to receive ald and assurance from such source is Indeed ‘distinct triumph for our cause. ‘The Dally World {s to be commended for the noble stand it has taken in the matter and we can justly assume that this is only a beginning of a united effort to better the condition of the tollers with the Negro as e factor BOOKS AND THOSE WHO WRITE THEM.

ZION CHURCH, The third session of the Michigan annual conference closed its delibera- tlous in our church last Monday night. It was sald to be the largest attend- ed and the most successful session ever held. This conference embraces the state of Michizan, several points in Canada, the northern part of Indl- ana, Ulincis and eastern Wisconsin, ‘The membership ic not large but it is dong a splendid work. (‘This con- ference forms a part of the Seventh Episcopal district in the A. M. E. Zion connection, over which Bishop George Lincoln Blackwell, S. T, D., presides. ‘The conference convened on Wednes- day, July 3, at 11 a.m. It held regu: lar sessions until it closed, all of which were pleasant and profitable. |Last Sunday was an exceptional day in the history of the conference. Rev. 'W. 1. Rowan of Indianapolis, Ind., ‘Preached a soul stirring and instruc. tive sermon at 11 a.m. The love feast, however, led by Rev. Mrs. C. A, Walker, at 10 a, m., prepared the people for its reception. At 2 p. m. Rev. J. C. Roberts, D. D., of Bing. ‘hamton, N. ¥., delivered a thoughtful and instructive discourse. All of the Services were well attended, but at 8 p. m. when Dr. J. W. Wood, mission- ary secretary, preached his’ splendid sermon, the church was taxed to its utmost capacity. The offerings for the day amounted to $125.72. The amount of money raised for the gen- eral church by this conference was a little over $1,100, All of the mission points received some financial help. ‘The entertainment of the confer- ence by the local church was up to high water mark. he ladies and thelr committees, who were especial- ly responsible for the entertainment, and who richly deserve special men- tion in thie connection, were Mad- ames India Smith, Florence Combs, Alice Brown, Alvenia Cyrus and Car rle Saunders. ‘The splendid supper served at the close of the program on Monday evening was to the credit of the two stewardess boards, led by their chairman, respectively: Mad- ames Lulu Foster and Mary J. Green. ‘Miss Daisy Ware, directress of our choir, and Mrs. C. J, Jackson, the organist, were responsible and de. Serve great ‘credit for the splendid musical program rendered on that night. Among the visitors who at tended the conference were Revs. J. ‘W, Wood, J. F. Moreland, T. W. Wal- lace, A. J. Shockley, J. C. Roberts, W. I. Rowan, Mrs. Corbin Jr, and Miss Corbin of Grand Rapids, Micb.; ‘Mrs. J. W. Cochran and Miss Helen Cochran of Indianapolis, Ind. There were but few chauges in the appoint- ments. Dr. Callis was returned to the Chicago church. Our services next Sunday will be as usual. The pastor will preach morning’ and evening.

The Grand The last half of the week, beginning Thursday, July 4, contained many good acts and a matinee performance of the notable Johnson and Flynn fight. The Innocible Four finished their well of well deserved success, as did Carita Day. Minnie Palmers' six American Beauties were splendid. The ladies were excellent musicians, playing violin, cello and the Italian harp with much proficiency. Manny and Roberts were a clever song and dance team, as was shown by the many bursts of applause and curtain calls. Paul Kleist and Company in a spectacular novelty, "The Land of Dreams," proved to be something out of the ordinary and enjoyed by all. The returns from the Johnson-Flynn flight which were given Thursday afternoon, July 4, once more put the searchers for a conqueror of the mighty Jack in the field. The race in many things would naturally take a broad view of the outcome of the fight but association and assimilation with the so-called more intelligent race has unfortunately caused the less favored people to take on many of the greater ones' traits and as their strongest trait is prejudice, we too as a race have imbled this prejudice and lost sight of the fact that "God is no respecter of persons," and did not give victory to Johnson because he was one of a persecuted race, but solely because he was the best man, regardless of creed or past state of servitude. All thinkers will welcome the time when the demon of prejudice will be swept away and a man will be reckoned by what he can do and not by his "mother tongue." The first half of the week, beginning Monday, July 9, was replete with good acts. The "Yalto Whirlwind Dancers were fine. Especially beautiful was the pantomime dance, interpreting Victor Herbert's "Kiss Me" walt. Johnny Small and the "Rector Girls" filled in their time on the stage with clever songs and dances. McGrath and Yeoman in a character study playlet, the Lunatic and the Prima Donna," gave an excellent account of themselves. Without exception Lottie Grady is today the most lady-like soubrette that has yet appeared at the Grand and she clearly demonstrates the fact that "it is not what you do, but the way you do it" which makes the hit. Miss Grady is as modest, sweet and girlish as she was several years ago. Fame has not spotted her and the popular cry for vulgarity has not been heeded by her, and we trust will be. The Gillam and Williams Four are top notch entertainers and only need a new opening song for the ladies and a new closing for the quartet and all will be O. K. The dialogue of Messrs. Gillam and Williams is and will be a scream for a long time yet, because of its originality. Today Allie Gillam stands foremost as a tramp impersonator and as a straight comedian Mr. Williams can take a seat among the graduates. The ladies of the quartet are splendid dancers and add much to the act by their sweet voices and pretty faces. 1. The Monogram. Foster and Payne open a dandy bill this week. Miss Payne dances well, doing many characteristic steps of the "Spanish Fandango." Mr. Foster has a fairly good singing voice, but his Spanish rendition of "La Paloma," a song much beloved by the Spanish people, was a burlesque on the beautiful language of Spain. Mr. Foster does not know the song and does not speak the language. Really, the gentleman looks too intelligent to ever be guilty of trying to pass a check quite so palpably bogus. Learn the song and sing it in English, Mr. Foster. Your voice is fine and everyone will enjoy hearing you. Allen and Morton are cleaning up. Mr. Morton, as has been said before, is an AI straight man and needs a strong associate. In Mr. Allen he has hit the happy medium, and if they stick together nothing will beat them in their respective work. Let not these few words of praise cause the team of Allen and Morton to stand still but to boys to make greater efforts to improve. Adah Banks is as entertaining as ever. This week there is a noticeable amount of affection in Miss Banks' rendering of her first number. it not only detracts from the lady's natural beauty, but makes portions of her solo unintelligible. Miss Banks has a splendid voice and it seems a pity to spoil her work by such a faulty and wholly unnecessary method of delivery. Simms and Thompson are two clever fellows, Mr. Thompson is handsome, but it is evident in his work that he thinks so, and realizing how poor would be the thanks for the compliment, we will draw the curtain over same. But their act is full of witty sayings and clever dancing and they are great sharers in the honors of the evening. Mr. Dorsey, the pianist at the Monogram, looks dreadfully lonesome since his wife, the pretty and charming Lizzie Hart, has gone to England. However, his lonesomeness nor the sympathetic feeling extended to him by the other members of the orchestra has not impaired their playing, for their work is as intelligent and pleasing as ever. The Clippors, who are creating quite a sensation in vaudeville at the New York houses, now playing this week at Delancey Street theater, New York.

Mr. Crane came in to Chicago from the southwest division on his relief on train No. 4. Mr. Robert Kaufman Jones, better known as "Kid" Jones, chef on cafer parlor car 160 on the Great Western R. R., between Chicago and Ft. Dodge, Ia., made a killing on the Jack Johnson fight, July 4, giving odds of $45 to $25 that Jack would win—and he did win.

MADAMS DOWNS TRIUMPHS Madame Downs triumphed in her efforts in putting on the grand musicale in the beautiful auditorium of the Glencoe public school for the Fisk endowment rally. It was a huge success. Both races assembled in full force. Miss Cleopatra M. Jones, a young niece of the Madame, is a coming prima donna star of the race. She was one of the artists captivating the great audience at will. Mrs. Charles R. Lewis, the lady bass singer and Dunbar reader, was stormed with applause from start to finish. She related a brief history of Fisk university. Mrs. Louise H. Langston filled her part as second soprano, putting her whole soul in her singing, for which she was the recipient of hearty congratulations.

Cowan, President 3441 Wabash Avenue James Gilloran, Prisoner 48 Hours Chewed Clothes Before Released In Willia Avenue Yards. New York—Ragged, dirty and almost unconscious from hunger and thirst, James Gilloran, fifteen years old, who lives with his parents at 172 Franklin avenue, New Haven, Conn., was dragged from a freight car in the Willis avenue yards of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. He had been locked in the car since it left New Haven, forty-eight hours before. He was taken to the Children's society and will be sent home. According to the story he told the price of the Alexander avenue police station in the City although standing well in his class at school, was selzed with wanderlust and decided to seek a fortune in New York. He climbed into a freight car in the New Haven railroad yards. A short time after he had hidden himself a yard man locked the door of the car. The train had gone several miles before the boy realized that he was trapped. In a flash his ambitions vanished and he became homick and very badly frightened. He grew hungry and thirsty. He beat upon the door and shrieked for assistance, but passing trains drowned his cries. His hunger became a desperate craving. He pulled the buttons of his clothes and gnawed them. He chewed up his linen. In his madness he tore his clothes until they were a mass of rags. James Cullen, a watchman in the Willis avenue yards, passing a freight car, heard a strange noise. He opened the door and dragged the boy out, more dead than alive. At the police station the policemen gave him crackers and milk. "You don't need to guard me," he wailed. "I'll go home all right." SLAYER IS HUMAN ENIGMA Rueslan Who Strangled Grii Declares He Did Nothing Shameful or He Did Nothing Shameful or London. — "Vadim the Vampire" (Nikolai Ratkawitsch), who has been sentenced at St. Petersburg to eight years' hard labor for strangling a young girl, whom he calmly sought in the street after planning his crime, has proved an insoluble enigma to the greatest mental experts in Russia. After studying him for two years past, says Reuter, they are all at variance as to his degree of responsibility. When in jail and in the lunatic asylum he talked reasonably on all topics except that of murder, refusing to allow that murder was a crime. It was, he maintained, simply a weakness or a passion, such as drinking or gambling. His letters to his father and mother before the murder breathe affection and consideration and he described himself as a lost man, the product of his age. After the murder he wrote to his parents as follows: "Your ideas of crime are out of date. I have done nothing shameful or infamous. If I were a thief it would be different. It would be absurd to be ashamed of me because I am a murderer. I am not a criminal. I am a murderer by conviction. Only an ignorant jury could find me guilty. Being innocent, I will not go to penal servitude. I will find the means of taking my own life." Ratkewitsch was generosity itself in his relations with the poor creatures with whom he shared the scant hospitality of the St. Petersburg night shelters. If he received money from his parents he distributed it with an open hand, even when he himself had no overcoat nor a shirt. FINDS TAPIR IN HER YARD Animal, Escaped From a Show, Is Captured After Biting Men Who Are Sent After It. Dixon, Ill.—To find a large South American tapir in your chicken yard among her Plymouth Rocks was the experience of Mrs. Charles Rugles of No. 910 Highland avenue, when she started out to feed the family flock. Mrs. Rugles screamed and the entire neighborhood was aroused. The animal had been badgered by dogs and was in a rage when the keepers of the show from which it had escaped arrived. Some of them were severely bitten before he was captured. The tapir, which cost $1,000, had broken out of his cage in the animal arena of the show. Searchers were out thirty-six hours, but could not find the animal. He had been feasting on the surrounding strawberries and had destroyed several beds. The management promptly nailed the large reward offered for his capture, and the women in the neighborhood have come out of their storm cellars and everything is tranquil again. At 98 Is a Stoic. Seattle, Wash.—Thomas A. Wardall, 98 years of age, refused to be placed under an anaesthetic at a local hospital when doctors were ready to proceed with an operation for internal trouble. "I don't need it. I'm still young enough to stand the operation," the brave nonogenian told the surgeons. Killis Himself When He Is Sentenced San Luis Obispo, Cal.—When a sentence of twelve years for robbery was imposed on Jack Darby at San Luis Obispo, Cal., this week, he slashed his throat with a clasp knife and died in the court room. There is a 7-year-old boy in New York who speaks English, Spanish, Japanese and four other languages. His parents must have devoted very little time to teaching him baby talk and Mother Goose rhyms.

Just think THE WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY a whole year FOR 50 CENTS THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Scientists Seeking Relics in Nevada Also Uncover Remains of Prehistoric Camel and Dog. Reno, Nev.—Marvelous discoveries of prehistoric mammals in the shale fields on the desert 28 miles east of Mina, Nev., are announced as the result of the explorations of Prof. Lawrence Baker of the department of geological research of the University of California. Professor Baker is assisted in his researches by Prof. Buwaldo, also of the university faculty. The investigation disclose the fact that the region about Mina was once an immense body of tropical water. The bones of a three-legged horse, about the size of a lamb, have been unearthed. The teeth, well preserved, and the entire remains of a prehistoric dog have been brought to light. It is believed that this animal lived at least five million or six million years ago. The scientists say that the fields about Mina are the most marvelous in the world. Fossils eighteen feet high are to be seen cropping out in the heart of the desert miles away from any human life. In the vicinity is a bed of pure carbonate of magnesia, which assays show runs 97 per cent. The remains of fish are to be seen sticking out of the banks. The professors are bending their efforts to obtain specimens of mammals. The remains of an extinct camel, dating from the milocene period, have been obtained. Effort is being made to obtain specimens of the water lizard, believed to be the oldest known form of animal life. Fish many feet in length are to be seen and every indication points to the fact that the remains, so perfectly preserved, belong to a period at least five million years ago. Along the southern edge of the desert, which is believed to have been a lake at one time, there has been discovered coal of a high quality. An eastern syndicate owns the property upon which the discoveries have been made. They acquired the land to work the magnolia deposits and also to prospect for gold, which is found in nearby sections. Permission was granted the scientists by the local manager to study and take specimens of the relics. An effort will be made to have the Shimane mission send an expedition to make a thorough study, as it did of the mammoth tracks discovered in the yard of the state penitentiary. GIRLS TO WEAR BLOOMERS Playground Instructor Buys 1,600 Yards of Gingham for Puppls to Make Up. Cleveland.—Miss Marguerite Kelly, supervisor of playgrounds, and Miss Mary Penn, sewing instructor, went on a shopping expedition and bought 1,600 yards of goods. "Fine trousseau," observed a man, who wandered into a room in the City hall, where Miss Kelly and Miss Penn were busy with scissors, cutting and hacking at great bolts of checkered goods. "Trousseau nothing," scornfully answered Miss Kelly. "This is gingham; and it's to be made up into bloomers for girls at the playgrounds. There are 10,000 girls to be supplied. We decided to have them make bloomers instead of weaving mats and baskets. They can't wear baskets and mats." "But why the bloomers?" "Well," said Miss Kelly. "They won't wear certain articles of lingerie in hot weather. That's the reason, if you must know." OREGON GIRLS HIT GOTHAM Look at New York City and Call It Devoid of Beauty Its Women New York—Nine Oregon girls who reached New York from Portland after having motored about the city a few hours declared that so far as they could see New York was devoid of beauty. They are farmers' daughters who earned the trip by getting subscriptions for a newspaper. After two days in New York they went to Washington to meet the president, and finally to Chicago for the Republican convention. "Eastern women," said Mrs. M. A. Hartshorn, a newspaper woman who is chaperon of the party, "are made up too much to look pretty. Even the young girls look blase. Their faces are absolutely devoid of expression and they cannot be compared with our girls with their natural vivacity. And as for your men, they all look so delicate. Their waist lines are even smaller than the girls'. They are not like our men, big and lovable." Chicago. When Miss Anita Chushow found that she was to be the recipient of many kisses in a play given by the young women of the Ascension Roman Catholic church, in which she was to take a leading part, she refused to go on with rehearsals until the kissing-scenes were out out. Now, unless a woman can be found who does not object to being kissed on the stage, the play will be called off. Punctuality Costs Her Life Now York—Jumping into a rapidly rising elevator. In order to get to her desk on time, Miss Mary Foreth, a cashier, fell forward, her body being caught and crushed beneath the edge of the floor and the top of the elevator door. When the operator reversed the lever the lifeless body crashed 25 feet to the basement. "Sing while you are working," advises Mrs. Beach, the pedestrianne. We fail would follow her advice, but there are able bodied men working about us and we have no accident insurance. INDEFATIGABLE WORKER In a small room on the Boulevard St. Jacques, Paris, the "Sherlock Holmes" of the Russian revolution makes his headquarters. The man is Vladimir Bourtsev, who is striving for freedom. He is a publisher, editor, writer and revolutionist. PETER H. BURTON At his office he has received members of the Russian nobility, members of the Russian duma, revolutionists, anarchists, agents, provocateurs, repentant spies, revolutionary assassins, famous authors and publishers. About 60 years of age, with the enthusiasm of a youth, the zeal of a fanatic and the self-sacrifice of a martyr, Bourtseff, has served the cause of Russian emancipation for years, often often antagonized by the derision and criticism of people who were equally sincere in their desire for Russian freedom. Bourtsse unmasked traitors in the revolutionary ranks with a courage and fearlessness that is astounding. He often risked his all on the accusations he made against some of the most trusted members of the revolutionary parties. He charged Azeff, the head of the central committee of the Social Revolutionists, with treason, with being connected with the Russian police; instead of trying Azeff, the party tried Bourtsse. But Bourtsse finally proved his case, and he went on weeding out the traitors, big and small, men and women, young and old. Bourtsell is sometimes blamed for the confusion into which the revolutionary orizantizations have been thrown by his activities. He has even been accused of disorganizing the revolutionary camp. Since the unmasking of the arch traitor Azeff, and of Zhuchehnko, the Azeff in petticoats, and many other agents provocateurs, there has been a feeling of distrust and suspicion in all revolutionary circles, their friends, brothers no longer trust brothers, and fathers conceal their thoughts from their sons. But Bourtsef believed that most of the failures of the Russian revolutionary efforts to free the Russian people were due to the activities of the traitors within the ranks of the revolutionists, of the provocateurs, who often stood at the head of the most important groups, planning, organizing various terroristic plots and then betraying their comrades to the police. Bourtsef may have made some bungers—only dead people make no bungers—but he fought sincerely and struggled often alone, and he has succeeded after many hardships and disappointments. No Russian has done as much as Bourtsef to discredit the Russian autocracy abroad. And he is now devoting himself exclusively to his weekly journal, L'Aventur, in which he brands effectively the crimes of the present regime in Russia. And yet, strange to say, Bourtsef not only is not aided by any revolutionary organization, but he is often even hindered in his work. GERMAN PRINCESS WEARS PEASANT GIRL'S DRESS Princess Victoria Louise has been astonishing the natives of Homberg, the famous Rhenish watering place, by appearing on the promenade in a Corfu peasant girl's costume she bought during her stay at her imperial father's Castle Achilleon this spring. 1930 Princess Victoria Imperita William like kissing B Berlin Berlin, used to call "mummery As a child she once staggered the guests at a court garden party by appearing in a home-made imitation of a circus performer's costume and endeavoring to perform some feats for which the costume was not quite strong enough. The Emperor used to bring down the wrath of his loyal subjects about once a year by "play-acting" somewhere or other. He rode into the famous ruins of the Hokkoenigersburg in the upper Rhine Valley in the costume of a general of the thirty years' war and all his suite were compelled to dress in similar fashion. When he wanted to repeat that performance and ride into the model Roman camp on the Saalburg near Homburg as a Roman general at the head of a property equipped Roman legion there was a German soldier in press, which said that German soldiers are not to be employed for "mumming," so the Emperor had to surrender his project. It was said after that episode that some one devised the new proverbial phrase, "The Kaiser always wants to be the baby at a christening and the corpse at a funeral." --- Baller Sees Two Great Evils. Senator Joseph W. Balley in a speech at a banquet in Washington, was discussing some of the evils of modern times. As his speech progressed he hit on woman suffrage. The greatest evil that could happen was that women, "need to make the men like women, and be to make the women like men."—Popular Magazine. Finger print identification is to be adopted by banks.

FORTUNE TO SAVE TREES Wealthy Californians Are Spending Thousands in Fighting a New Blight. San Francisco.—A considerable fortune is being spent by wealthy Californiaans in an effort to save groves on beautiful estates near this city from a blight that has recently attacked most of the trees. Tree surgeons are gathering here from various parts of the country and are working hard under offers of large rewards if they can stop the destruction. Should they fall, it is probable that foresters will be brought from Europe. - The blight is in the form of a fungus known as the volsaria bacteria. After it has taken hold on a tree thousands of worms develop. They are much like the carpenter borer. These pierce the bark through and through, and sometimes make large holes. Their ravages were not detected until many of the fine shade trees wilted this season and were threatened with quick death. Tree authorities of Stanford university were called in and found that the blight extended among the estates in beautiful Menlo park. They also discovered that the disease was spreading rapidly to the north. The Stanford scientists could not tell the source of the blight, and then the surgeons from the east were called in, among them G. H. Bishop, who was trained at the Yale School of Forestry. The only thing that has served to help the trees has been to remove the fungus when found, and plug the holes made by the borers with cement. In some instances as high as $500 has been spent to save a single tree, and the total expense will run high into the thousands. One theory is that the germ of the fungus has been brought in from Asia, from which many trees have been imported to beautify the grounds of wealthy men. It is probable that investigators will be sent to Japan and China in an effort to trace the disease. Pine forests throughout the northwest Pacific coast are also being devastated. A species of beetle lays its eggs in the bark of the tree. From them come grubs that grow inside the bark and feed on the tree until they are developed, when they bore out and become beetles which fly away to destroy other trees. Hundreds of infected pines have been cut down and state and government authorities are co-operating with humbermen in an effort to wipe out the pest. 300 FIRES LAID TO BOY Fire Bug Syndicate, Police Aver, is Composed of Insurance Brokers and Adjusters. New York—Isidor Steinutzer, an east side man of diminutive stature, is under arrest charged by the fire marshal with being the head of a widely ramified "firebug syndicate" and of having started more than 300 fires in this city in the last five years. Isidor, when cornered by the marshal on a fire escape in 118th street, was smoking a cigarette and watching the panic and distress caused by a tenement house fire, in which the lives and property of many people were in danger. He is charged with having started this fire in conspiracy with Samuel Gold, in whose flat the fire occurred, and who is also under arrest. The firebug syndicate is said to be composed of a number of east side fire insurance brokers and adjusters, a few underworld characters and a swarm of "runners," whose vocation is to approach east side tenement dwellers who are poor and easily tempted into dishonesty, and whom the "runners" persuade to join in a swindle of the fire insurance companies by overinsuring their few pieces of furniture and allowing the "operatives" of the syndicate to set the furniture afire. The average price charged for starting a fire is about $25. According to the fire commissioner, 25 per cent of the fires in New York city are of the incendiary origin. WAS LIKE FLAG OF TRUCE2 Supposed Mad Dog Waga Its Tail at Policeman's刀 to Save Its Life Kansas City, Mo.—The timely wag of his tall saved the life of a Scotch collie belonging to Rev. Father Sigismond Pilbron, pastor of St. Anthony's church, Seventh street and Barnett avenue, Kansas City, Kan. A call was received at police headquarters that there was a mad dog at Sixth street and Barnett avenue, and Patrolman Otis Flora was dispatched with a riot gun to kill it. He dog with its tongue hanging out, and excited. "Here!" called Friar to get the dog to turn its head to give it a bite shot. But the dog advanced in a friendly manner and wagged his tail. "That dog's not mad," Flora said, and let down the hammer of the gun. "He's only hot and lost." Just then some children came along who said that the dog belonged to Father Pirron. The policeman led it home. Crazed by Math in Ear Lasalle, Colo—Henry Nick, a farmer, was brought into the office of a physician and an investigation disclosed the fact there was a live moth in his ear. The pain had driven him frantic and it was necessary for three men to hold him while the doctor distended the canal and removed the insect, which was still fluttering its wings. Once again the prospect of winning the pennant inspires the fam. Among the world's hardest workers may be numbered the convention clague. --- Odorous Fruit Came High for New York Visitor. Balked at Paying Thirty Cents, but He Would Have Done Better to Battle and Escape From the City. The moral of this little experience of a man calling himself William H. Ormes, 43 years old, owner and manager of the Rampao Inn at Tuxedo, is that persons who are going to balk against paying the New York price for onions should leave their "weep-ups" at home. The melancholy person basked in the bright lights of Broadway until dawn began to streak the sky. Then he dropped into a restaurant at 69 West Thirty-sixth street. "I want a portion of chopped onions," he told the waiter. "A grown man's portion, y' understand. A real portion of real onions for a live one. I love onions. I eat 'em alive. So trot 'em out and see that they have a punch to 'em." A platter of chopped onions was soon before him. He made good on his boast, for nary an onion or fragment thereof remained when he had finished. "What's the damage?" he cheerfully asked. "Thirty cents," replied the waiter. The patron whooped in derision. "Thirty cents!" he yelled. "Why, man, I could get a bushel of onions for that at the Waldorf." "Well, you can't get 'em here for that," retorted the waiter, "so come across." Instead, the man went into the street, followed by the waiter. There they discussed kinds and varieties and prices of onions until Policeman Welsh decided if anyone in the neighborhood got any sleep he would have to let the lieutenant at the station house settle the question. When they reached the station, the man describing himself as Ormes still refused to pay thirty cents for the "grown man's portion" of onions, and Leutenant McCarthy, not being an authority on onions, suggested that the waiter make a charge. He did. When Ormes was searched the first thing the policeman found was a fully loaded revolver. The next thing was a blackjack. Seeing that these little ornaments had been discovered, the prisoner became more tractable, paid the waiter the thirty cents he demanded and the charge was withdrawn. Then he started to say good-by to reach the 5:15 train home, but the leutenant reminded him that he was under arrest for violation of the Sullivan law. "Well, I'll pay that, too." he agreed. "How much does New York charge for the Sullivan law? Here, I'll give you forty cents to square the account." When he ascertained what he was up against him he was alarmed, but had to go to a cell. He told the police he was taking the revolver and blackjack up to his inn he used as curios.—New York Evening World. Call of Humanity. The American people are making some headway toward the conquest of tuberculosis and some other forms of insidious disease. They have done much to reduce death by accident and violence. But so much remains to be done in both lines that our efforts thus far seem very feeble. . One of the big life insurance companies has called attention through one of its publications to a few pertinent facts in this connection. For instance, in commending our manifest grief over the Titanic's destruction of 1,635 lives, it reminds us that 1,731 lives are wasted every week by violence in the United States, 2,855 lives are wasted every week by tuberculosis—in short, 1,780 lives are lost every preventable causes. Or, it says, "A man dies every minute from a preventable illness." It goes after American cities for caring more for a low tax rate than they do for a high death rate, and urges the importance of employing efficient health officers. This, of course, is important, but there are other ways in which we need to rouse ourselves to the supreme and solemn obligation. —Omaha Be. Napoleon's Imperial Guard The imperial guard of France was created by Napoleon I. when he became emperor in 1804. It was formed by a merger of the "guards," the "convention," the "directory" and the "consulate." It consisted at first of 9,778 men, but was afterward considerably enlarged. In the year 1809 it was, by the emperor's order, divided into the old and young guards. In January, 1814, it numbered 102,706. It was dissolved by the Bourbon Lou XVIII. in 1815, revived by Napol III. surrendered with Metz to Germans, and was abolished by government soon after. Discount for Dirt.

Tt would be a blessing if we parents could just reflect that It may be that the only cheer in life which our chil- dren will get is the cheer of the old home, writes Frank W. Gunsaulus. ‘They are hurrying out into the world which has no time to make them happy. If they are fortunate, as the World says, they will probably have homes, where old-fashioned and romp- ing cheerfulness would skin its shins against the furniture or break the Louis XIV. chair. Blessed old days, and most wholesome to look back ‘upon, are those when the hearty laugh ‘of father would not split the lace cur- tains, and when mother could have two big, healthy children upon her Jap while she was sitting down, with safety to all parties, in her rocker.

Pessimista are made before children are ten years of age, and pessimism comes when a child cannot turn a golden Jaugh into ready cash for life's poverty and its relief. We talk about the eru- elty of a father’s depriving a child Of suffictent clothing. It is tod bad; but a child's toes would better be Tuddy and his ears tingle with cold than to have a home with winter in the atmosphere and the smiles all freexing to death.

Evanston, July 12—Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Breckenridge, 1109 Clark street, moved to their new home, 1904 Colafax street last week. Much is often said about Negroes burning homes, but very little is said of the Negroes who buy homes. Mr. Breckenridge paid $4,250 cash for this beautiful home, in the heart of a white neighborhood. In addition to this home Mr. Breckenridge owns a beautiful home on Clark street and a two-flat building at 1812 Railroad avenue. Mr. Breckenridge is numbered among the few Negroes of Evanston whose homes are bought and all paid for. The homes on Clark street and Railroad avenue yield an income of nearly one thousand dollars a year. The home on Colafax street was the residence of ex-alderman Frank Arosen. Dr. A. Gordon and Dr. and Mrs. G. S. Burrows of Augusta, Ga., paid a visit to Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Cullers, 2318 Railroad avenue.

Jack Gives Bonds for Wife and Bonding Company Bail the Champ Out of U. S. Court. While the average man was thanking the weather man for letting things seem cool on Thursday, "Lil Arthal" was perspiring in such a way that even his racing machine, going at city speed of two miles an hour, could not make the "champ" feel like a cucumber, and he took the count. Mrs. Johnson appeared in court with her "Jack," gave bonds, and, taking him by the arm, marched through a human wall of curiosity seekers, who gathered to see her and the mighty man of the world, passed and went to their waiting car, and was on soon Michi' avenue, beating it home. Jack said he did not think that he was smuggling, as the company he and his wife were keeping made it necessary that they wear such peerless diamonds, and it was a part of the clothes. He bought many other suits on the other side, but the government says nothing about that. If Jack's white lawyer would present his case like Jack does he would not have to pay those dollars, but give it to charity. BEAVER FINDS AN ADVOCATE British Rancher of Opinion the Little Animal is Much Abused, and Gives His Reasons. "There has been a lot of garbled stuff written in regard to the poor humble beaver," says a correspondent. "He is the most cussed animal of any in existence in British Columbia today. "He shuts up water in creeks, overflows meadows, eats off apple trees if you get them too close to his wanderings, and, in fact, to hear the complaints about him, you folks on the outside would think he should be exterminated. But not so; he is man's best friend in regard to the water question. "Now, I am an admirer of the beaver; he has not a lazy hair on his body. He works unceasingly to shut up what you have torn out; not only for his part, but for the rancher that wants the water. As fast as you can open their dams every morning all the summer through, they will close them again at night. But put in a good dam and dume box with gate, and your trouble is over in a great measure. "They will once in a while shut up the box, but not often. Hang up a piece of bright tin on a spring hole so the tin will swash in the water, and you will not be bothered much at the box. Now, if the ranchers left all these cuts open, which they all do, your water would all run off in the winter's thaws. So that is where the beaver comes to their relief. He shuts them up himself. And then he gets blamed for doing it. "A beaver is awful shy when he first sees man. He certainly puts out for a hole in the bank. You show up evenings for about a week or ten days and just walk around and plea a few sticks across their path where they are hauling down cotton wood or willows to the lake or pond and will come and smell of the stick and get the scent of your hands and your tracks. "Then they will quit that place and go make another. Well, you do the same at that place and so on two or three nights and they will get your scent so that they know it means no harm to them. They will pull all your sticks out of the road and keep right on at work. Now their fear of man is all past; they take no more notice of your being around than they would of a horse or cow. "The beaver is one of the easiest of the larger animals to domesticate. He is fond of most any kind of roots, but of all the wild roots, he likes the big pond lily root that grows to enormous size. Some roots are ten to fifteen feet long, three to four inches in diameter. They criss cross and grow together till they are a regular mat. Then what he likes next is the white carrot, also the red. They are poor eaters out of a dish; they want to sit up and brace themselves on that muscular tail and take the food in their forepaws, or their little hands."—Fur News. The Cure for Degeneration The Cure for Degeneration. Attention is just now rather too much concentrated—with it. most humanitarian motives, to be sure—on that kind of social perfection which consists in bringing everybody up to an average. It is time to emphasize also the importance of producing and making the most of the few really great men through whom the world mainly progresses, the pioneers and the prophets of civilization and the arts. Of degeneration we have a morbid and needless fear; the best cure for it is not medical science, but social justice. Break up the slums, take the boys out of gangs and find them clean sport and congenial work. Pull down the rookeries, let in the sun and air, keep human life from festering in rotten places and nature will do the rest. Breeds and races may die out, but there are always new owes being created, and nature is herself the greatest of regenerating forces, destroying the decadent even a she checks the superman before he becomes as the gods.—Springfield (Mass.) Republican. About the Space Room How often the best and sunniest bedroom in a small house is set aside for the rare visitor, while the children are cramped for space, or its master, the bread-winner, has some dark cupboard as his special sanctum. If he attempts to write in the dining-room he must bundle away his papers whenever the table is required for a meal, and the wear and tear to his temper—for every man finds it agravating to be "hustled"—often makes him "gey ill to live with." But for the "fetish" of that seldom used spare room he would find home far more home-like, and his wife would reap a sure reward for the sacrifice of the petty pride which makes her think more of "what people will say" than of her husband's comfort. Privations of Exploring Party Great privations were inuded by A. H. Savage Landor during some portions of his eighteen months' journey across South America and back. He says: "When I left Rio in March of last year I took enough provisions to last for a year, but owing to mastage on the part of my men and loss these eventually gave out, and toward the end of that part of the expedition through the unexplored portion of Brazil we remained for sixteen days without a morsel of anything to eat. Happily there was plenty of water, but there was no game, no fruit, no fish and no inhabitants, and neither my men nor myself had sufficient food to cover a six-pence." ```markdown ``` A walking club in New York hours out exceptional social advantages as an inducement to join.

Make Five Clean Hits in One Game This Season. Bobby Byrne and "Dots" Miller of Pittsburg, Together with Hoblitzel, Daubert, Olson, Yerkes and Colling in the List. Hitting out four and five hits in a single game looks like a great task, but it has been frequent this season for the batters in the American and National leagues. To date just forty-two players have succeeded in hitting 'em where they aren't, and equally divided, twenty-one in the American and twenty-one in the National. Four National leaguers have piled up five bingles in a single contest, while three have turned the trick in the Ban Johnson organization. Four members of the Cardinal team have cloued out four bingles in a game game. Eddie Koney was the first to turn the trick, getting them on April 14, with Miner Brown the opposing twirler. Reb Oakes duplicated the stunt April 22 when he opposed Humphries, Keefe and Bagby of the Reds. Rube Ellis was the next Cardinal to get four safeties in one game. He did this on May 5 against the Reds, when he banged out a single, triple and lifted two into the right field bleachers. Lee Magee gathered four singles on June 1. The players to hit safely five times in a single game are Byrne and Miller of the Pirates, each collecting four one spots and a double. Hobby of the L "Dots" Miller of Pittsburg. Reds gathered the same bevy on May 5, while Jake Daubert of the Superbass did it against the Cubs with three singles, a double and a home run. There were the only four to turn the stunt in the National league. Ivan Olson started the ball rolling in the American league when he hit out five singles off Bill Burns of the Tigers on April 13. Yerkes of the Boston Red Sox was the next to hang five hits in the Ivan Johnson organization. This came on April 20, when he got three singles and two doubles. Eddie Collins got five singles on May 18 in the game with the Detroit Tigers. Larry Doyle of the Giants has had the most success in hitting the opposing pitcher safely four times in one game. The Giant's captain has turned the trick three times this season. The first time was April 16, with two sn L. Eddie Collins of Athletics. gles, a double and a three-bagger. Next came May 1, when he got two singles, a two-base knock and a home run. Five days later he again got two singles, a double and a three-base hit. Ty Cobb of the Tigers is the only player in the American league to get four hits in more than one game. The demon Detroiter has ripped off four bingles twice in one game this season. Clarke Wins Many Bets. Fred Clarke, leader of the Pittsburg Pirates, has won over $800 worth of clothing by reason of his staying out of a ball game until June 1. Clarke made a number of wagers with Pittsburg friends mostly for suits, hats, shoes and socks. It looks as if Clarke would have enough clothing to last him for three years. The Pittsburg leader has made other bets that he will not take part in a game of ball this season, but having won the biggest part of his bets, he may be seen in action in the near future, when a pinch hit is needed to bring in a run. Tales of GOTHAM and other CITIES Budding Bandit is Nipped in the Bud Budding Bandit is Nipped in the Bud Militant Cow Puts Policemen to Rout Texas Will Fight Mosquito With Bat Texas Will Fight Mosquito With Bat NEW YORK.—"Nipped in the Bud, or Nothing Doing for Dickey Boy," is the next novel to which will be drawn the attention of Richard Boy, a would-be bandit. Dickey Boy, who is five feet three and fifteen years old, armed himself with two big guns, a slung-shot, seventeen dime novels, a Bible and a map of Arizona and started for the wild and woolly west to shoot down Indians and shoot up saloons. He did not even get a good start, for he was grabbed by just an ordinary copper and "trum into the cooler." He did not even have the satisfaction of being stuck up by a cowboy sheriff and getting a run for his money and a square show. The budding frontiersmum started the ball roiling the other afternoon by running amuck in his hometown 59 West Ninety-third street. He did not shoot out any lights, but he seared the life out of his mother and two younger brothers and sisters. The terror of the West side declared he'd shoot 'em all up, and they got into closets and under beds while he strutped in in truly western splendor, ratling with artillery as he walked. "Terrible Tim CHICAGO—A spotted cow which answered with enthusiasm to the name of "Violet" came into East Chicago the other evening, approached the outer fringe to the political battlefield, and went mad. At midnight Policeman John Lazar was walking his peaceful beat in the neighborhood of Chicago and Kennedy avenues when he met Violet and was seized with a sense of pastoral poetry and moonlight. "I will take her to the pound and imagine myself once more in the old lane that leads from the pasture to my father's barn," Lazar told himself and smiled with pleasure at the prospect. He approached Violet sympathetically and with a delicate motion of his arms sought to waft her in the direction she should go. Violet refused to be wafted. She was in playful mood and showed a desire to place both her front feet at once on the policeman's shoulders. He retreated warily. He got inside a patrol box and from its security argued with the bovine. Violet hurled herself against the policeman's shelter. He drew his club and shook it sternly in her face. She recognized no authority. I'LL FIX YOU SAN ANTONIO, Tex.—There is a man in Texas who has found out a new way to fight the mosquito. His name is Dr. Charles R. Caip.pbell. He is official bacteriologist of the city of San Antonio. His idea is to employ "bats as mosquito fighters. The neighborhood of San Antonio is especially plagued by mosquitoes—malaria is more or less rife in that vicinity—and for a long time past the inhabitants of the municipality and its suburbs have eagerly sought to find a solution of the problem. Much benefit has been obtained by keeping mignows in cisterns and ponds—these small fishes being greedy devourers of mosquito larvae—but such measures have not altogether met requirements. PHILADELPHIA—When Nathaniel Jones, colored, of Naudain street, near Tenth, discovered a number of live chickens on his bed he was so indignant that the publicity he gave to the matter resulted in the arrest of Edward Watkins, also colored, of Lombard street, near Fifteenth, who, it is charged, stole the poultry from a store at Eleventh and Rodman streets for a chicken dinner which he intended to give to two of his friends, Richard Green and Albert Emerson of Lombard street, near Tenth. The three men were brought before Magistrate Eisenbrown at the Central police station. After a hearing Green and Emerson were discharged, but Watkins was held in $600 ball for court. At the hearing, Jones said that when he returned from a theater he was astonished to find a crate of live chickens on his bed. Upon investigation, he said, he learned that the poultry had been brought there by Watkins. About the same time B. Wagner, a poultry dealer, reported to He—Well, judging from the condition of my collar and cuffs, I should think she is always ready for the fray. Genealogist—That's for you to decide. We'll go as far back as you wish to pay for, sir.—Judge --- of Tonopah," or the "Twining Twins of Tucson" had nothing on him. Policeman Fried was on fixed post when a man came along and told him about the miniature arsenal. It did not scare the policeman a bit. He sauntered over to the hallway and bore down on the embryonic western terror. Without pulling a gun on him and telling him to throw up his hands he grabbed him by the scruff of the neck, gave him an old-fashioned clout and said: "Sonny, what have you got in your pockets?" With an awful scowl the boy bandit faced his captor. The officer took him upstairs where the family was found in a condition of terror. Fried then took the pocket edition of Jesse James to the West side police station. The two guns were fully loaded. The slungshot was one of the toughest looking weapons the police had ever seen. It was made up of nails and bits of steel and covered with leather, with a leather thong attached to it for the wrist. "The dime novels were wonders of literary art. They ran all the way from "Diamond Dick's Last Dive" to "Whanged Into the Willies" and "Scariet Sam's Sacrifice." The youthful desperado was held by Magistrate Cornell in the West side police court without ball under the Sullivan law. His mother was in court, but did not make any charges. It wasn't necessary the court assured her. Little Dickle Boy will be made an example of. The policeman tried for two hours to pacify the cow. It was a vain attempt. He telephoned for help. Chief of Police Leo McCormack of East Chicago got out of bed and headed a relief squad. Armed to the teeth the bluecoats descended upon the intrenchments of the cow. They were repulsed, and Violet went away. At noon the next day Violet strolled down the Pennsylvania tracks near Daring avenue. Policeman Esantrager said he could conquer any cow. He was rolled over in the street three times before he escaped. The driver of a garbage wagon who said he would his name if he defeated the cow went forth to battle. He, too, was defeated. Violet began to demolish freight trains on the tracks, when Policeman Harry Nangle stole upon her from behind with a rifle. There will be no inquest. Bats, as is well known, are insect eaters, and are particularly fond of mosquitoes. In the twilight, when they rove abroad, they devour immense numbers of the pestiferous insects, the manner being to dash back and forth through a swarm and gobble the victims up by the wholesale. In view of which fact it occurred to Dr. Campbell that it might be a good idea to establish in and about San Antonio a number of "bat roosts," as he calls them—that is to say, structures so contrived as to invite bats for sleeping purposes. He has already set up two of them, and proposed to erect others, those already in operation having proved highly successful. There are no windows, but opportunity of entrance is afforded to the bats by a series of horizontal openings so arranged as to resemble the slats of an ordinary window shutter. The whole building is thirty feet high, the upper twenty feet being the inclosed portion, and the slatted arrangement runs up each of the two sides for a distance of sixteen feet. FUR DE LAN SAKES the Nineteenth district police that he had been robbed of a crate of chickens. When the police heard of Jones indignation at finding a crate of chickens on his bed they put two and two together and started an investigation, which ended in the arrest of Watkins and his two friends. Green and Emerson showed that they had known nothing of the theft of the poultry and were therefore released. After holding Watkins in ball, Magistrate Eisenbrown asked Wagner to recall the line, "Lead us not into temptation" in the Lord's Prayer. "Don't you know better," he asked, "that to tempt these colored people by putting chickens out in front of your store?" New Game. A returned explorer was giving a parlor lecture. "What is the gentleman talking about?" demanded a languid lady. "Progressive Peru." "And how do they play it?" Truly Expert. "Is your chauffeur an expert?" "Yes, indeed." replied Mr. Chuggins.

Some of the Greatest Have Literally Died "in the Harness"—Nathaniel Hawthorne's Patiotic Foreshadow. Robert Louis Stevenson's story, "Welr of Hermison," was left a mere fragment. Another romance, "St. Ives," by the same pen, was running in a monthly magazine at the time of Stevenson's death. Here, however, readers were not deprived of a satisfactory ending, for the story was brought to a conclusion by Quiller-Couch. "I hardly know what to say to the public about this abortive romance, though I pretty well know what the case will be. I shall never finish it." wrote Nathaniel Hawthorne, with reference to "The Dollier Romance," which he had undertaken to write for a magazine. This forcoding was soon verified, for Hawthorne had scarcely time to do more than lay down the groundwork of the story and write the initial chapters before he died. At his funeral in Concord the manuscript lay on his coffin. Soon afterward t e first chapter appeared in the Atlantic, and subsequently the second chapter, which he had been unable to revise, was published in the same magazine. Several years elapsed and then a third fragment, revised and copied by the novelist's wife, was placed in the publisher's hands. The original manuscript is now preserved in the Concord public library. Another serial that was being written when its author laid down his pen forever was "Denis Duval." Thackeray, indeed, was already in his grave when its publication commenced. Three parts, and a portion of a fourth were all that appeared, and "the story," wrote the editor, "breaks off as his life ended—full of vigor and blooming with new promise like the apple trees in this month of May." With the fourth part was given a set of notes, taken from Thackeray's own papers, elucidatory of the subsequent development of the plot. Thackeray's great contemporary, Charles Dickens, also died in harness. For a long time his health had been indifferent, but he stuck unfinishing to the work he had in hand. On June 8, 1870, he died. The morning and part of the afternoon of that day were devoted to completing the sixth number of "The Mystery of Edwin Drood," but scarcely had he finished work and sat down to dinner than he was seized with convulsions. After lingering some hours without regaining consciousness he died at six the same day. "I shall publish late in this year," wrote Laurence Sterne, "and the next I shall begin a new work in four volumes, which, when finished, I shall continue 'Tristram' with fresh spirit." This new work here referred to is "The Sentimental Journey," one volume alone of which was ever given to the world, nor, by reason of the author's death, was "Tristram Shandy" ever continued. Flifty Thousand Child Gardeners As a result of a state-wide industrial contest in Oregon there are now 50,000 children busy gardening. It is thought that of the 125,000 school children of the state at least 75,000 will exhibit at their county fairs or at the state fair at Salem in the autumn something they have raised or made. The superintendent of public instruction and public spirited citizens are responsible for this wholesale plan of child farming. Substantial prizes are to be awarded to those who have been most successful in raising garden stuff, chickens and pigs, or in making some useful article. To aid the little ones the arb 1910 W.

Send old artificial teeth, I mail you immediately three cents cash for each tooth received." This advertisement, which appeared in a recent issue of a Greenfield, Mass., weekly newspaper, caused unwanted activity on the part of Franklin county residents. The outgoing mail has assumed such proportions that the postmasters of several hamlets are hopeful that their receipts will be swelled sufficiently to secure them a higher salary rating. Old teeth are being resurrected from attics, barns and abandoned wells. A Colrain youth admits robbing a scare-crow in his great uncle's cornfield of his great grandfather's false teeth. In one local cafe interest in the baseball pool is overshadowed by heavy wagers as to who can collect the greatest number of artificial teeth which have seen actual service. The popular idea that cheese is not easily or thoroughly digestible is a delusion. Investigations by the experiment station experts of the department of agriculture prove that cheese ranks with other staple food products in the thoroughness with which it may be digested, and that it is quite as easily digested as a comparable amount of meat. Cheese is used in small quantities for its nutritive value as well as for its flavor. Compared analytically with many of our common foods, our American or standard factory cheese ranks exceedingly high. It contains nearly twice as much protein, weight for weight, as beef of average composition, and its fuel value is more than twice as great. It excels beef, eggs, milk, bread, potatoes and apples in percentage of fat and in fuel value, and all of them but dried beef protein—Leslie's Weekly.
