RMONIOUS BLENDING OF RACES Our cartoonist, after making an inspection tour of Chicago under the gulse of getting work, sums up the trip in the above cartoon. He thinks the cartoon is mild, as compared with some of the conditions he had seen. One place he visited, he did not have a piano in their mess hall, and still another was kicking because some of the men were kicking because they in most every place he went where the gentlemen on the left are, he found them almost in aquiler, sitting on old boxes, saved, not not, perfectly satisfied with existing conditions. Men that allow such conditions to exist will soon find themselves relegated to not, perfectly massive men in their places. It is far better to hold a position on fighting for cleanliness than to be let out for not being clean. Roosevelt and Johnson—this is the national ticket of the new Progressive party. The birth of this party at the Coliseum this week was an epoch in American history. The Negro's part in the Republican and Democratic parties is a matter of history; the Negro's part in the new party is uncertain. But, as in every other important event in the world's history, the Negro will certainly have to be reckoned with or there will be no chance of success. The high standard set by Col Roosevelt is opportune. No longer does the entire race look alike. The astute ex-president cleverly drew the line and into the limelight came the best element of the race. TUSKEGEE CLUB ENTERTAINED Miss Moseley of Jackson, Tenn., Shares the Honore at a Delightful Function. On Wednesday evening, August' 7, Miss Arnie Danner of 5000 State street entertained in honor of Miss Martha Mosley of Jackson, Tenn., and the Chicago Tuskegee club and their friends at progressive whistle. A delightful evening was spent by all. Miss Jackson of Sedalia, Mo., and Miss G. Smith of Indianapolis presided at the piano. Three prizes were given; Mr. H. B. Wheeler, first prize, for the largest number of points; Miss D. Crutchfield, second prize, for the smallest number of points; the other prize was won by Mr. R. A. Crosby. At 11:30 Miss Danner, assisted by her two brothers, served a tasty luncheon, after which the tables were cleared away and the remainder of the evening spent in dancing. The following were present: Misses Terry, Bell, A. Lowry, S. Craft, D, White, D. L. Sears, D. Crutchfield, M. L. Moses, G. Smith, M. Jackson, Mrs. R. E. Danner, Mrs. D. Broxton, Mrs. Wilson, Miss M.

FUGITIVE CAPTURED AT LAST. Richmond, Va., Aug. 9 (Special to the Defender)—All Richmond is jubilant over the capture of Reuben Hill, the ungrateful as well as unprincipled wretch, who when trusted to preside as cashier in the True Reformers Bank, absconded with the funds of said bank. Hill was in hiding in Memphis, Tenn., when captured and detectives have been detailed from Richmond to take charge and return the culprit to the place of his nefarious crime. BUYS PROPERTY; LEARNS TO SAVE Mr. W. A. Bartlett of the real estate firm of Frederick H. Bartlett & Company, 59-69 West Washington street, will personally conduct a street car excursion to their new subdivision at 95th and State streets Sunday afternoon. A special car leaves 31st and State streets at 1:30 p. m. Mr. Bartlett, one of the most successful of young business men, acquired the habit of saving by buying a lot. Some years ago he bought a lot that has not increased any in value, but it was the beginning of his present high standing in the financial world. Mr. Bartlett will be pleased to meet the readers of the Chicago Defender, especially the young men. --- earless, T CHAMPION e People White House the Scene of Brilliant, Though Unusual Festivities, Incidental to Formal Notification of President Taft's Nomination—Cabinet Officers, Senators and Distinguished Business Men Mingle in Perfect Harmony with Members of the Negro Race. J. C Napier, Ralph W. Tyler, Governor P. B. S. Pinchback and Many Other Prominent Men of the Race Treated with Every Courtesy—The Luncheon a Most Notable Affair and Followed President Taft's Speech of Acceptance of the Presidential Nomination. (Special The Chicago Defender.) Washington, Aug. 9.—At the reception at the White House, Thursday, August 5, and the ceremonies incident to the formal notification to President Taft of his renomination, men of the race were invited, and they attended and were extended the same cordial welcome and treatment as was shown white guests. There was absolutely no discrimination, either during the reception or at luncheon, given by President and Mrs. Taft, which followed the president's speech of acceptance. The spacious and handsome state dining room at the White House, for the first time in years, if ever before, presented a notable scene—men of both races dining in perfect harmony and good fellowship. There were cabinet officers, senators, representatives and distinguished men in business and professions exchanging pleasant words and greetings, and partaking of a repast from the same table with prominent race men. Those of the race who were present on this notable occasion were; J. C. Napier, Register of the Treasury; Ralph W. Tylar, Auditor for the Navy, Whitfield McKinlay, Collector of Customs here; ex-Governor P. B. S. Enchback, now of New York City; Win Calvin Chase, editor of The Washington Bey; Cyrus Field Adams, Assistant Register of the Treasury; Thomas Grant, of South Carolina; W. D. Johnson, of Kentucky, and Mr. Moten, of Georgia. Because of the presence of so many race men at a affair of the White House without the least show of discrimination or lack of cordiality in their reception, the affair will long be regarded as notable. DR, D. H. WILLIAMS CALLED TO TUSKEGEE On account of the dangerous illness of Mrs. John Kenny, wife of the medical director of the Tuskegee Institute, Dr. Daniel H. Williams, was summoned by telegraph on Wednesday of this week to Tuskegee to operate on her. She has been ill for about three months and during this time has spent several weeks at Battle Creek, Mich., and other resorts trying to regain her health. She passed through Chicago ten days ago on her way home and since arriving home she has grown worse. WHY SUCH TREATMENT? Extra Precaution Taken to Guard Against Questionable Characters by the Bach-Ben Club at their Seventh Annual Picnic. The Chicago Defender is in receipt of an invitation from the Bach-Ben club, formerly the Bachelor club, of this city to attend their seventh annual picnic to be held in the near future. In glancing over the explanatory notes attached to the invitation we read among other things the following: "It is absolutely essential that your name appear on our invitation list. If it does not you will be unremoniously treated by the club." Now the question arises, why unremoniously treatment would be meted out to those whose names are not on the invitation list? This paper believes in the right and we realize that in the judgment of many it is not the one who is morally good who is the most highly respected, but it is the fellow who has the clothes to wear and the boldness to face and be a "good fellow" in the seeming little "no harm" things of life. With all due respect for the one time "Bachelor Boys" club, let the Defender live up to its name by defending the right, and in this case we win do so by saying: "In the majority of cases when we build houses in the woods to keep out bears we usually leave crevices large enough for snakes to crawl in" and we think the B. B. club understands. PROMINENT CHURCHMAN DEAD. Olivet Baptist church suffered an irreparable loss in the sudden demise Wednesday evening, Aug. 7, of Mr. McLamore, 210 East 35th street, a prominent citizen and exemplary church member.

HYDE PARK'S PROGRESSIVENESS Neighborhood Settlement in Excellent Order—Work Progressing Favorably Order—Work Progressing Favorably—Results of Eight Weeks' Work Shown in Sewing Class, Singing Club and Library—Love of Work Growing in Intensity—University Students Render Praiseworthy Program—Men of Prominence Speak. New life has been given birth in the community of Hyde Park. On June 3 a volunteer settlement was opened in Hyde Park at 5212 Lake avenue to serve as a place to keep children off the streets and provide clean, wholesome recreation to not only children but to the grownups as well. Within eight weeks' time a kindergarten has been started, a sewing class for girls, a singing club and library hours arranged for men and children. Hyde Park Charity club holds its meetings here and entertainments of various kinds have been given. This settlement is the only place in Hyde Park that colored people have as a social center. Mothers can come for a neighborly chat. Fathers may stop in to hunt up the current topics of the day; white and colored children come in off the streets. Not that this is a colored center, but the colored people are not invited to any other place as they are here. Heretofore anything given by the clubs, churches or societies were given at the homes or missions; now a clean, spacious room has been thrown open to the people of Hyde Park to use in any order way. University Students University Students Wednesday evening, July 31, marked a new era in the history of colored residents in Hyde Park. The summer students attending the University of Chicago rendered a program that will be long remembered by all who heard. Prof. Henderson Helps Too much cannot be said in praise of Mrs. Henderson, wife of Prof. Henderson of Langston, Okla., who arranged the program and presided at the meeting. Prof. Henderson's solo was delightful. It is useless to comment upon Miss Haynes of the Wendell Phillips settlement. Our eloquent speaker was splendid in her work. Miss Haynes is a young woman the race has need to be proud of. Prof. C. W. Smith of St. Louis spoke very encouragingly about the work and congratulated the workers on the amount of good done within eight weeks. The young girls who played and recited delighted the audience to a large degree. Prof. Hughes of West Virginia was very highly appreciated and the wholesome and instructive advice he gave to both the parent and child was indeed timely. The children begged to be introduced to him at the close of the program. The very best talent that can be obtained will be sought by those who are interested in improving the moral conditions in Hyde Park. We beg those who will to volunteer their service or set others to do so. We carnestly pray that since Hyde Park has awakened it will stay awake and do more to support the good that is being done to forever blot out the evils that have such a strong hold here. ANSWERED THE CALL. Miss Bessie Aaron Hansford, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hansford, died Sunday, August. 4, at the residence of her parents, 4051 South Campbell avenue. At the home funeral services were conducted by Rev Martin of Bethesda Baptist church. Many friends and relatives from the states of Kentucky and Missouri attended the funeral. The body was laid to the rest in Oakwood cemetery. A carriage filled with beautiful flowers testified to the high esteem and love in which Miss Hansford was held. She was one of Chicago's prominent social lights and the sympathy of her numerous friends is extended to the beavered parents. Pure Love the Incentive. Yes, this we all know, all of man's handiwork that finds form in beauty has it's rise in the loves of men and women. Love is vital, love is creative, love is creation. It is love that shapes the plastic clay into forms divinely fair. Love carves all statues, writes all poems, paints all canvases that glorify the walls where color revels, sings all the songs that enchant our ears—Elbert Hubbard. OUR DIRTY AUTO- MOBILE MASHERS! Women Complain About Fresh Chaufeurs—Lot of Low Brutes Try to Take Advantage of a Patronage Which Should Be Appreciated—Call Unbidden, Shattering to. Atoms the Principles of Decency—Indignant Subscribers Complain to the Chicago Defender. SHOULD BE GREETED WITH SCALDING WATER Mashers, Degenerates and Other Low Types a Menace to the Race—The Police in a Vigorous Crusade Against the Fresh "Do Nothing"—The Churches and Various Organizations in a Determined Effort to Teach the Hirling—Put the Brute Where He Belongs. The indignation of many prominent ladies has been aroused by the presumptuousness of chauffeurs engaged by them on special occasions. In several instances ladies have been hailed on the street by some driver whom they have at a previous time hired. And now comes the climax! A lady on answering a ring at the doorbell beheld there, with a grin on his face, a chauffeur who had been hired the night before. On being asked what his errand was, he replied, "I have come to call." Of course the door was closed in his face and the pity was that with its closing did not pour forth a kettle of boiling water, as such brings a deserve scalding. Just such occurrences cause our race to give their patronage to other races. Call Unasked. Because, their own, when in business, in nine cases out of ten become so big-headed that they hardly treat one with common courtesy or become so familiar that it is an insult to look at them. And the drivers of autos are paving the way to complete ostracism for themselves by their insults. It will be to their interest to know that because their employer is of the same race as themselves they have no more right to presume on his patronage farther than would be done if the employer be white. No gentleman would ever think of thrusting his presence upon any one unmasked and only the lowest type of man, such as degenerates, nondescripts and roustabouts, would be guilty of the dirty tricks of these same chauffeurs. Keep Employes In Place. Let the drivers keep themselves in their place as hirelings. "This true there are certain classes of women who enjoy being accosted by those they know and by those they do not know, what matter to them. But instinct will teach any man when he is out of his class unless he is an ignorant brute, and if he is such he should be treated accordingly! So the best policy is a sudden stop to the insults carried on towards our women by chauffeurs or this paper will take up the case and some one will lose a license. AT THE VILLA CARTER. Registered at Mrs. Ritta Carter's palatial house, 3254 Rhodes avenue, are Mrs. John Lange, Kansas City, Mo.; Judge and Mrs. W. I. Jamison of Topeka, Kans.; Mr. Thomas J. Calloway of Washington, D. C.; Mr. Gilcrist Stewart of New York; Miss Emma Smith of_Kansas City; Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Mrs. Dorsey. During the National Negro Business League convention Dr. Booker T. Washington, wife sons and secretary Emmet J. Scott will reside at the Villa Carter. The main ambition of every man, woman and child should be to gain confidence. And as a first step towards it to be worthy of confidence. —Wallace Rice. 300 OFFICERS TO GUARD STATE STREET CARNIVAL Complete Final Arrangements for the Greatest Pleasure Event in Local History—The Chicago Defender Will Issue a Special Carnival Number—Special 50,000 Extra—Party of 250 Charters Special Train—Southern Newspaper Offers Trip to Carnival as Reward to Subscribers—Many Unique Features.

Every section of the country is arranging for special rates during the two weeks of mirth and merriment and in some places special trains are being arranged for. The committee managing the affair is paying particular attention to the safety of the thousands that will line State street. Three hundred uniformed and plain clothed policemen will be assigned to the carnival district from the beginning to the end. Sudden illness or accidents will receive prompt attention from a special hospital corps stationed in every block. The more serious cases will be sent to the Provident hospital in the carnival's special ambulance. The Defender's Carnival Number. In connection with the carnival the Chicago Defender will issue a special carnival number. Among other things will be special writeups and cuts of the various business houses throughout the carnival district, and all the latest news about the various speeches. At the headquarters of the committee it was learned that one hundred and twenty persons would arrive on the second day from California and that encouraging reports had been received from Grand Rapids, Detroit, Cleveland and Toledo. It is the consensus of opinion that the carnival will be one long to be remembered in amusement annals. Some Unique Features. Those who are engaged to furnish the amusement features are the largest aggregation in tour, carrying a special train of twenty-two double-length railway cars. "Chiquita," the smallest lady in the world, being but 32 inches high and weighing but 24 pounds, is another sterling attraction that will be found on the Midway. Some of the other attractions of merit that will line each side of the street will be found in two merry-go-rounds, two Ferris wheels, Jungleland show, Kelly, Happy Jack, Mald of the Mist, Zazzel's Old Plantation with 100 boys and girls, Armstrong's Fat and Lean exhibit, School Days and fifteen other high class amusements. The principal attraction is "Mazepa," the horse with human brains. "Mazepa" plays musical instruments, disrobes and goes to bed, adds figures, telephones and rescues a child from a burning building. Another feature attraction consists of "Queen Lill," the performing elephant. COL. JOHN R. MARSHALL ILL Serious Ailment Causes Alarm—Dr. Daniel H. Williams Advises That He Remain from Camp. Col. John R. Marshall, of the Eighth Regiment, I. N. G., has been seriously ill at his home in Calumet avenue since Monday and has been under the care of Dr. Daniel H. Williams and Miss Lucille Woods, the trained nurse. The colonel was advised by his physician not to accompany the regiment to the camp on Friday night, but that he might be able to leave for Springfield one day next week if his condition improves to that extent. His case was diagnosed as appendicitis and an operation may be necessary. Mr. James Lawson has just returned from a visit to his old home, Morganton, N. C. This is his first visit there for over forty-nine years. When following in the wake of a company of soldiers he left the town seated with another on a mule. Mr. Lawson is the father of Miss Alice Lawson, 3649 Forest avenue, who, together with six sisters and one brother, form one of the happiest families in Chicago. This visit home will long be remembered for, like the prodigal son, the fatted calf was killed and hospitality was dispersed broadcast. WEST INDIANS Emancipation Proclamation of the British West Indies Revered in Speech and Song. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Ottumwa, Ia., August 9—The Emancipation Proclamation of the British West Indies was celebrated Thursday, August 1, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. Harry, Owens 811 West W. Hill. C. Harry Owens, 814 west Mill street. Mr. Joseph Wicks as master of ceremonies opened the program with a short talk on the occasion of the celebration; a chorus of twenty-five voices, led by Mrs. Eugene Anderson, who is one of Ottumwa's best and leading sopranos, pealed out the soul stirring patrolism of "America"; the Declaration Proclamation was then read by Mrs. Loraine Bibb; Rev. M. I. Gordon, pastor of Mt. Zion A. M. E. church, gave a very interesting and soul stirring reminiscence of "Sherman's March to the Sea"; Mr. Wm. Thompson told of his experiences with the western army, which brought tears to the eyes of the audience. The last of the old soldiers to speak was Mr. Charles Owens, who, by his talk, made the audience feel as though they were in the midst of the old stamping grounds. A solo was rendered by Miss Mae L. Catlin of Chicago in her sweet contralto; an instrumental solo by Mrs. Eugene Anderson, who is also a master hand at the piano; the program was closed by an address by Rev. T. J. Carr of the Second Baptist church, which was to the point and made the program complete. There was a solo also by Miss Lenora Williams. While the choir sang "The Star Spangled Banner" the audience broke up into a social with refreshments served by the committee of the Faithful Few society. NEW CARDS FOR DOCTOR WINSTON Social and Business Cards Take See- and Place—All Attention Now Centered on the Solution of a Weighty Subject—How to Make a Deck of Whist Cards That Will Withstand Hard Usage. The city is in a turmoil over an unsuccessful attempt to manufacture a set of cards—which, by the way, must have exactly fifty-two in the set—that will resist the continual use to which they will be subjected. The cards in question are not calling nor business cards, but just ordinary cards to use in the alluring game of whist. And the instigator of all this trouble is our prominent doctor, James Wesley Winston, 19 Wist 31st street. The diagnosing of one's health is not the only point of brilliance in the doctor's makeup. He has the distinction of being the only reliable source from which to gain a truthful diagnosis, morning, noon or night, of the game called whist. Hence the hurry and racking of brains for durable cards, as an ordinary deck of celluloid or cardboard has no chance to present a tidy appearance after the doctor has made them serve him during his itinerary of a week, searching opponents to do battle against him. The doctor is Chicago's wizard of whist and woe to the man who fronts such a foe. HAMPTON'S STORY. Rapid and Pregnant with Success Has Been Hampton's Growth—Different Races Live and Study in Mutual Helpfulness—Thousands of Students Have Reaped Benefits From Institution of Learning—Enrollment for 1912 is 1,588. Rising majestic and in historic splendor on the lower Virginia peninsula, within two miles of Old Point Comfort, looms the pride of Virginia's educators in the structure known as Hampton institute. With two teachers and fifteen students Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong in 1868 opened the said institution and began his noble work of uplifting and educating those released from slavery, and in the year of 1878 the General further showed his love of charity by opening the doors of his school to Indians who had been held as prisoners of war at St. Augustine, Florida. Forty-two Years' Achievements. Hampton is now in its forty-second year of successful work, having graduated in its establishment 1,612 and over 6,000 students have been enrolled on the roll of scholarship. The census of 1912 shows the enrollment of 1,588 members of the race and 79 Indians. The courses include every facility to train students in intelligent labor, not only for self-support but also for the sake of character. Contributions from voluntary sources are much needed to the extent of $125,000 above the regular income for the support of scholarships and general expenses. All such assistance will be gratefully received by Hollis B. Brissell, principal, or Frank B. Rogers, treasurer, Hampton Institute, Virginia. THE PRESTONS Mr. and Mrs. George Preston, 3435 Dearborn street, who have just returned from a visit out west as the guests of their daughter, Mrs. Hick- man of Denver, are loud in their praise of the beauties in that part of the country. Mr. Preston, a high Mason, was royally entertained by Rocky Mountain Lodge No. 1. Mr. and Mrs. Repor- tor, Mr. J. R. Contee and Mr. Spregg all united in showing this well known couple a pleasant time. THE WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PRICE 5 CENTS BUY BY THE WEIGHT! SLOGAN OF TODAY By Purchasing Articles by Weight Honest Quantities Guaranteed — Peddlers Cheat Customers in Many Cases Out of 1 to 3 Pounds of Goods When Edibles Are Purchased by Measure—Peddlers Fined $25 For Shortage in Weight—To Benefit Consumers, Defender Secures Ordinance Governing Weights and Measures. CUSTOMARY WEIGHTS Green Apples, 50 Pounds per Bushel—Potatoes, Irish, 60 Pounds per Bushel—Beets, 60 Pounds per Bushel—Beans, Green or String, 24 Pounds per Bushel—Housewives and Hucksters Take Heed, Buy in Strict Accordance with Custom Weight. The Defender has secured for the benefit of its many readers an authorized edition of the ordinances governing the department of weights and measures. Much has been said concerning the buying of edibles by weight and measure. Few persons governing the homes of Chicago the thousands know that in buying by weight one receives only in this way the correct amount of goods purchased. In buying it is with much stress that this paper advises all housewives against the time-worn custom of asking for 25 cents worth of the article to be purchased, rather call for so many pounds and thereby secure honest weight. Several arrests and convictions have in the present month been made and the hucksters fined for shortage in sales. Conviction of Peddlers. Lewis Hampas, 1918 South Chicago avenue, sold August 1 one peck of potatoes which weighed 12½ pounds instead of 15 pounds. He was tried, convicted and fined $25 in the court of Judge Sahab. James Staccos, 116 South Ashland avenue, sold a peck of apples which weighed 10 pounds instead of 12½ pounds. The offender was fined $25 and costs in the court of Judge Dolan Tuesday morning, August 6. It is to be hoped that everyone will take under consideration the above and see to it that proper amount is obtained on purchasing. The number of pounds to a bushel contained in different articles is herein given: *Apples, green, 50 pounds per bushel; apples, dried, 24; barley, 48; barley, malt, 34; *beans, green or string, 24; *beans, wax, 24; beans, white, 60; beans, castor, 46; *beets, 60; blue grass seed, 14; bran, 20; buckwheat, 52; *carrots, 55; *charcoal, 22; coal, 8; *coke, 40; clover seed, 60; corn, shelled, 55; corn, on the ear, 70; *cranberries, 33; hair, plastering, unwashed, 8; *hair, plastering, washed, 4; hemp seed, 44; lime, unslacked, 8; *millet seed, 50; oats, 32; *parsnips, 55; onions, 57; peaches, dried, 33; peas, dried, 60; peas, green in pod, 32; potatoes, Irish, 60; potatoes, sweet, 50; *red top seed, 14; rye, 56; *rye, malt, 55; salt, fine, 55; salt, coarse, 50; *spinach, 12; timothy seed, 45; turnips, 55; wheat, 60; wheat flour, per barrel, 196; per half barrel, 98; per quarter barrel, 49; per eighth barrel, 24½; corn meal, bushel sack, 48; half bushel sack, 24; fourth bushel sack, 12.

JESSE BINGA,MANAGER Fraternal and Other Organizations to Parade—Many Firms Arrange for Concessions—Entertainment Committee Planning Novelties for Every Night—Music by Visiting Bands—Miniature Circus—$20,000 Steam Calliope—A Gigantic Undertaking But Successful From the First. 一 Through the kindness of Mayor Carter H. Harrison and the city council Mr. Jesse Binga and a committee of progressive citizens have been granted a permit for a GRAND AUGUST CARNIVAL and FAIR on State street, from 30th to 39th street. In inaugurating this unique idea the committee had in mind a practical demonstration of the various enterprises that go to make up this wonderful business thoroughfare. Street to Be Ablaze With Lights. The last two weeks in August have been selected for the carnival. Every store and residence is to be decorated while strings of many colored lights will be strung from post to post and across the streets and there will be music on every corner. There will be nightly parades and a new $20,000 calliope will continually make the rounds. Every theater will have extra attractions. Souvenirs of every kind will be freely distributed, and the Chicago Defender is negotiating for a special issue of ten thousand Frederick Douglass pennels. The Committee. The committee in charge of the carnival is Mr. Jesse Blinga, manager; Mr. W. H. McCullough, assistant manager and inspector; Rankin & White, Peter P. Jones, Virgil Mackey and R. S. Abbott. This progressive committee believes that this carnival will give an opportunity for a display of State street business in a manner never before undertaken in the United States. Prominent speakers will make addresses at various points. Two Weeks of Profit and Pleasure. State street will be "en fete," it will be a veritable walk of light and beauty. There will be many bands of music and entertainments everywhere. Watch for big advertisement in next week's issue. Space for Charity. By request space will be given free to all churches and deserving charitable institutions to enable them to solicit funds for their various causes. BEWARE OF DOGS ON THE RAMPAGE These Are "Dog Days" and the Department of Health Gives Advice Also a Word About Milk. Press Service, Department of Health. Shoot the dog and save the child. Better the cur in the dog pound than the bitten child in the home. Your neighbor's child was bitten yesterday. Your child may be the next victim. From January to July 801 persons in Chicago were bitten by dogs and six have died from hydrophobia. Let the police catch and destroy every unmuzzled and unlicensed dog in Chicago and it would soon be a safer place to live in than it is today. Dog days are those days when the homeless, ownerless, unmuzzled dogs roam about a community snapping and biting at every one they meet. There are many thousands of such dogs in Chicago and each and every one is a menace to public health and safety. Have you talked to your alderman about the milk ordinance? Have you made it plain to him that you are in favor of clean, safe milk for the bables of Chicago? If not, get busy. Do it today. Here are some interesting facts concerning that dread disease, leprosy. On January 1, 1912, according to a report issued by the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, there were 3,624 cases of leprosy in the United States and its Insular possessions. Of these Hawaii had 696; the Philippine Islands, 2,754; Porto Rico, 28; leaving 145 for the United States proper. Of the cases in the states, California had 23, Louisiana 71, Massachusetts 12, Minnesota 18 and New York 5. Illinois had none. Several of the states reported single cases. The Old Wagon Show.

CARTER Prominent Citizen and Well Known Railroad Man Succumbs After Eight Weeks' Illness. It is with deepest regret and sorrow we at this time announce the death of Mr. Richard W. Carter, who was one of our most respected citizens. Mr. Carter was born in Richmond, Va., and died August 3, 1912, in his home, 3424 Dearborn street. The deceased arrived in Chicago June 11, 1874. He was at one time check man at the Grand Pacific hotel and up to the time of his death was employed by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway. It is said that he was noted for his gentlemanly attention to the wants of all passengers. His presence will be much missed. He was a member of Quinn Chapel A. M. E. church and his utmost endeavors were exerted for the welfare and prosperity of his race. A citizen who had a noble and upright life which was an emulation to his fellows, he bore his illness of eight weeks with Christian fortitude. Mr. Carter was married to Miss Susan Tarrifera of Washington, D. C. Seven children blessed this union, of whom one son survives, Robert D. Carter, who on December 12, 1904, was married to Miss Gertrude E. Hancock. The deceased leaves also a devoted wife, step-daughter, relatives and many friends. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. D. Cook, pastor of Quinn chapel, from the deceased's home, Tuesday morning, August 6. CARD OF THANKS Mrs. Richard W. Carter and family desire, through the medium of this paper, to thank the many friends for the kindness shown them during the illness and bereavement in the loss of Mr. Carter, especially the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway employees.

ORIGN OF FAMOUS PHRASE Belief that Common Political Term Sprang From a Horse Race Held in Tennessee. The political term "dark horse" is thought to have had its origin in the following circumstances: In the last century there lived in Tennessee a "character" named Flynn, an elderly person who dealt in horses. Flynn generally contrived to own a speedy nag or two for, racing purposes if he could arrange for "a good thing" during his peregrinations throughout the state. The best of Flynn's flyers was a coal black stallion named Dusky Pete, almost a thoroughbred and able to go in the best of company. One day Flynn visited a town where a race meeting was in progress. He entered Pete. The people, knowing nothing of the horse's antecedents and not being over impressed by his appearance, backed the local favorite heavily against the stranger. Just as the beasts were being saddled for the race, a certain Judge McMiname, who was the "oracle" of that part of the state, arrived on the course and was made one of the race judges. As he took his place on the stand he was told of the folly of the owner of the strange entry. Running his eye over the track the judge instantly recognized Pete. "Gentlemen," said McMiname, "there's a dark horse in this race, as you'll soon find out." He was right. Pete, "the dark horse," lay back until the three-quarter pole was reached, when he went to the front with a rush and won the race. After It. "Pa, what is an inheritance tax?"

CHURCH DIRECTORY ABOUT FATHER: And to each one he heard about he seat' his application. They formed a ladies' sewing club sometime in last December sometime in last December And when they called the roll they found that father was a member. Might may conquer for a while but right is bound to rise above it. Roosevelt is again in the limelight; it comes high but he must have it. The Street Carnival is beginning to make a noise like a real carnival. If your friends haven't come yet, don't give up they are on the way. "Color line in third party" is a headline in the New York Age. The only party that seemingly does not draw the color line is the Socialist. The "Bull Moose" party enters the field with the sounds of trumpets and tom toms, and promises to make things lively during the campaign. Taft and Roosevelt used to be such good friends, it seems a shame he will not come to Teddy's coming-out party—perish the thought, maybe he wasn't invited. If some of the lions advertised to appear in the carnival circus should happen to break loose, there will be more razors and guns flashed than State street has seen in a long time. This old globe of ours seems to be speeding up a bit and so mixing up our summer and winter weather that we hardly know what to put on in the morning to wear. As Birt Williams says, "It's a fast, fast world." Being older than you we have the privilege of advising you, which we did sometime ago. We told you to take advantage of the bathing beaches; we now say stick to the bath tub this kind of weather, it's healthier. Some people believe in crying before they get hurt, thinking an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Just what our position will be with any of the political parties remains to be seen, but as the three candidates are men we need have no fear. An ordinance confining colored people to certain sections of the city of St. Louis, and excluding them from her parts will be submitted shortly to municipal assembly. St. Louis removed from the burning g zone, but we did expect something better of an apparently progressive city. In the treasury department of the United States something like one thousand four hundred Negroes are emancipated more than $1,000,000 yearly. There is one thing to be said in favor of the young man of today, he is beginning to realize the necessity of husbanding his money and investing it in real estate and other good securities as is required by law. He is here and in many other cities. There is no gaisning the fact that wealth brings power and power brings rights and privileges. The National Negro Business League, which is to meet here Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the 21st, 22d and 23d of this month, gives promise of being the largest attended meeting ever held. The local committee have spared no expense in making arrangements to give the visitors a cordial reception and general good time. Booker T. Washington, who so ably generalizes the army of business men, arrive, is said, a few days in advance. When they dressed well, they dressed up, so to speak, for visitors, we will put on a few extra touches. Full reports of the meetings will be found in the Defender, the paper that has the reputation of getting the news while it is fresh. The Chicago Evening Post boldly declares that the Progressive party is stricty "A white man's party." The southern vote is what the Colonel is after and he thinks to get that he must throw the Negro vote overboard. We are awfully good swimmers and later on when they offer all sorts of plausible reasons why this action is taken, they will find that their explanations will fail to explain. The Progressives doubtless will harp a great desire to be the "equal opportunity" and "social justice." But their acts show that this is all done to catch votes. A fine "equality of opportunity" it is that debars a man from a political organization because of the color of his skin. Rufus L. Perry, formerly assistant prosecutor of Kings County, New York, joined the Jewish church because he said, "I believe the thirteenth principles of the religion hold out the promise that I shall some day return to Jerusalem." Mr. Perry has long been associated with Jewish people and becoming accustomed to their customs and doctrines, their belief was the correct one. The Jewish race has certainly been the most friendly race in the United States toward the colored people. Being an oppressed people themselves their sympathy at once goes out to others in the same boat. While the step Mr. Perry has taken is that he are firmly convinced that he is sincere and after all it matters not which road you take if your heart is right. The Christian Recorder is wondering what has become of the college graduates, the school teachers, the physicians, the lawyers, in fact all college graduates who were once brought up in the Sunday school. Why are they not active members now and where do they spend their Sabbath? If as frequently alleged, we are losing the whom we educate, we should seek the help and guidance of the remedy. The religion that is taught today by every denomination is broader along all lines than the old-fashioned kind our mothers and fathers knew, and yet there is cause for the query "What has become of the educated Christians?" Can we hope to bring up our children in the right path without setting an example? We may give our mite to the support of the church, but the giving is lost if you have the heart and soul in the work. Chicago is one of the number of churches it has and in the able exponents of God's doctrine who preside over them. There is only one right road. Thursday afternoon, Aug. 22, at the White Sox Park, 35th and Shields avenue, the annual benefit for Provident Hospital will be given and with the bill that will be presented there is no doubt that the big park will be taxed to its capacity. Champion Jack Johnson is to take entire charge of the sports, and besides the "Stunts" that he will do himself there will be two seasonal wrestling matches, the Cutter, Jack Johnson's sparing partner. The spry little fellow who has all England talking about him. The second will be between Ilma Vincent, that wonderful Cuban Hercules, and Haly Been, a Turk with a record a yard long. There will be exhibitions of strength and endurance, running, jumping, etc., and then a hot ball game for a trap between "Rube" Foster's American Giants and Nilesen's All Star Gunners; and to give you full measure and a little more for your money the famous Eighth Regiment and its discourse music throughout the afternoon to possibly see how you can miss such a day? Make your plans accordingly and remember that beside receiving full value for your money, you are helping Provident Hospital, an institution truly worthy of your support. World's Debt to Books How safely we lay bare the poverty of human ignorance to books without feeling any shame. They are masters who instruct us without rod or ferule, without angry words, without clothes or money. If we come to them they are not sleep; if you ask and inquire of them they do not withdraw themselves; they do not chide you if you make mistakes; they do not laugh at you if you are ignorant.—Richard De Bury. Unprofitable Householder—I give you my word, three seventy-five all I have in the house. Burglar—Well, say!

From Our Exchanges Dr. Williams Leaves Provident Hospital. Dr. Daniel H. Williams of Chicago has parted company with Provident Hospital which he helped to found and 'make famous. He is a great surgeon and a great citizen, who has done as much as any man in Illinois to give character and tone to Negro living and thinking. They may forget the man, but they can't forget his works for race uplift." The New York Age. The Fair Sex at the Wheel. The Fair Sex at the Wheel. Geniuses are born every hour and know. We often occasionally wonder at women of other kind automobiles. We must now stop to admire the grit of our own these days. A party of five were whirled up Fifth avenue in Mr. Whitaker's car, driven by Mme. Ernestine I.

A white man committed to the Coatsville, Pa, hospital, became hopelessly insane when he discovered that he was housed in the room from which the mob took Zack Walker and lynched and burned him in August of last year. If bad luck following a bad action counts for anything, and the Coatesvilleians are wise enough to know it, it will be a long time before Coatesville lynches and burns another human being.

I read The Defender regularly and carefully and find it full of information, common sense and sentiment which should appeal to every intelligent colored man and to the race. I for one appreciate the hard work making for manhood rights. Nothing is accomplished along this line except through contention and agitation. Keep it up. I see that Illinois is furnishing her part in the political struggles of the country. Governor Daneen, ex-Senator Lorimer and the coming convention of the "Bull Moose" party to Chicago make things quite interesting and colored delegates to the national convention recently held in your town. The highest terms of the cordiality received during their stay in Chicago. Many of them are my personal friends. I was especially glad to hear of the magnificent banquet given in honor of Henry Lincoln Johnson. He is a close friend of mine and is deserving of almost any honor that can be given him.

Fatherly Pride "Is he proud of his baby boy?" "Proud of him? I should say he is. Why, he spent two hours yesterday trying to imagine how hell look in a silk hat!" The Egotism of Man. Bad things are done promptly; good things pompously.—Waldo Leo Baston FATE'S STRANGE FREAK BY BELLE KANARIS MANIATES. Stephen left the city streets and wandered out into the country. He had but recently returned from abroad and he contemplated making a journey on the morrow to his sister's summer home. He had not seen her for three years, but the prospect of his visit to her, was somewhat marred by the knowledge that among her guests would be the paragon of a girl whom she had "picked out for him," the glowing descriptions of whom he had deliberately omitted to read in the letters. He began to realize suddenly that he had walked too far and that he was decidedly weared, when he saw ahead of him in a runabout in which was seated a middle-aged woman. Both machine and occupant were motionless. Can you start my car for me?" she asked anxiously as he approached. The trouble was a very simple end and he adjusted it for her defy and courteously. She invited him to ride with her, and he readily accepted. But when he had taken the seat beside her, to his surprise she quickly turned the machine around and speeded on into the street. "I beg your pardon!" he remonstrated. "I was about to return to the city when I met you. Will you kindly let me out?" "My boy, don't you know me!" she entreated. "I am taking you home." The speed was increased. He recalled the story he had heard of a woman, demented by the death of her son, who lived in a beautiful home from the city. Presently he saw a rate of speed equal to his own. There was a simultaneous grinding, of brakes. "Doctor," said the woman, addressing the elder of the two men in the car, "this is my son!" "I am glad he has returned," he said gravely. "I am a Dr. Duval," turning to mother with a warning significant look, her mother's physician. "I met my mother," she Stephen, "and fixed her car, and she was bringing me home. We can all go on now." "She has never tried to leave here before, so we were not on the watch. It was providential that you met her and comprehended the situation. She has insisted that I dine with you and then spend the evening with you." "Will you?" she asked anxiously. He ordered eagerly. After dinner they went to the apartment. His task was not difficult; the poor woman was quite content to sit beside him and prattle gently. Then Irene sang in a charming contratto voice. At 10 o'clock, Mrs. Goodwin's bedtime, she bade him a fond goodnight and told Irene to show him to his room. "It is too late for you to return tonight," said Irene when they were in the hall. "She will have forgotten you by the night." At breakfast the next morning, Irene informed him cheerfully that Mrs. Goodwin had not mentioned his name. He felt an unaccountable disappointment. "You might go in and see her. I will introduce you as a friend of mine." "I hope you are!" he said ardently. She flushed slightly, and they went to Mrs. Goodwin in silence. She looked as he entered without, recognition. After some desultory conversation they went out again. "May I do what she asked—come to see you often?" he asked. "I leave here tomorrow," she replied. "and you go to your slater's?" he asked not to go just yet. he explained. "And you may I ask where you live?" "I am not going home from here. I am going to visit a friend, Mrs. Mereddith." "Mrs. Moredthi!" he exclaimed excited. "Where does she live?" "She has a place, Ashcroft, near Helmville." "She is my sister!" "I thought you must be her brother. She showed me a picture of you once." "But why," he demanded, "did she not write me about you?" "I am surprised that she didn't" "She wrote me of only one friend of her, a tiresome girl."

"Mine, too. She thinks I would raise a wart to serve a collar but ton if I really had the interests of my family at heart." Dalton's air of preoccupation was not quite pleasing to the girl. He was seated on the bank of the stream just beneath her, selecting a fly and whistling contentedly. "You seem very happy," she said at length, coldly. "I am tolerably happy, considering the fact that last night I was grossly intemperate." "Drank too hard of the May moon and wild blossom scents. Drunk you know, drunk with the hush, the glory, the perfumes, and the girl; grew hilarious and asked her, to marry me to share my ups and downs in life. She refused to do it. I might say it what I expected. You see I wasn't expecting it. You see I am sure my she led me on. Why, she told me a lot of complementary things about myself. Said my money had not spilled me, and that I was so easy to get along with it was just like having nobody around. Said she knew that the inventing and flying of the aeroplane was a great achievement for a mere millionaire to effect, and that she felt awned in my presence. She felt in my my welfare and asked me to give me aviation, I misconstrued her meaning, I guess. At any rate, I proposed to her and she laughed at me." "She must have possessed a strong sense of humor." "Undoubtedly. She told me I was foolish to think of anything outside my hobby, seeing it was such a nice hobby and one I could really ride. She went so far out to say that a man was already married to a flying machine had not the right to propose. Now what am I to do? I want her today more than ever!" "If you love the girl, you should respect her wishes sufficient to give up risking your life, should she ask it of you. Never pay any attention to requests—I obey orders. If she were my wife now she could order me to stop taking risks." "But you didn't ask her to be your wife, did you? You asked her to share your ups and downs, wasn't that it." "Your sympathies seem to be altogether with the girl." "And why not? Surely you are bird enough without wanting to fly artificially." "Not even to soar to her heights?" "Not even to soar anywhere, when soaring means courting disaster. Will you do something grand and splendid to persuade you to yacht?" "Yes, on condition that you in turn will persuade the girl to do something grand and splendid for me." "No, I won't do that; but I'll tell you what I will do. I'll fish against you to see which of us does the other the favor." "Willing that if I catch the first fish—" "But you won't catch the first fish." "If you catch the first fish—?" "You give up your hobby-for the girl's sake." "And if I catch the first fish you give up the girl for my sake—very well. Any time limit?" "None. Finish fight." The reels sang as the birds fluttered across stream. When, after a strenuous fifteen minute hand, he landed the trout and glanced triumphantly at the girl, it was to meet a pair of laughs filled eyes. On a rock at her feet lay a fish—a much smaller one than his own, but a fish nevertheless. "I guess I win," she said softly. "I congratulate you," he answered. "Yes, you win! I'm ready to pay." She laughed then, and slid from the rock, put her hands on his shoulders. If the girl had not cared, you know! she whispered "she wouldn't have asked you to give up flying, Harry. But I'm sure she would willing to share your ups and downs now, dear, if you cared to ask her again." Then he took her in his arms. Opera Glasses in Parliament. The rights of visitors to the house of the opera house discuss oddly the other night, when a midist of a debate upon the treatment of the suffragette prisoners Joseph King, M.

All actors live in dread of marrowskying, that curious transposition of syllables which often illustrates the truth of the saying that from the sublime to the ridiculous there is but a step. The actor who said, "Stand back, my son, let the pennoun cough" (instead of "passum") may have made a solitary skip, but in some persons marrowskying amounts to a veritable infirmity. Marrowskying is not confined to the tongue, but occurs in writing. This is one of the many sources of error in copying printed or manuscript matter.

ROUGH MANNERS OF THE PAST Drinking Trick in Which English Monarch Figured—The First Fingerless Gloves. Drinking tricks figured in diplomacy in the time of Henry VIII. Mrs. Henry Cust quotes the king's challenge to Hubertus, the representative of the Palgrave Frederick. He sent for two huge goblets, filled with wine and beer respectively, and gave the envoy his choice for a "drinking out" test. In vain Hubertus pleaded that his master had actually instituted a company of the Golden Ring to put down such contests, any member who broke the prohibition to lose his ring and give $1 to the poor. Henry, anxious to prove that the Englishman was the better man, promised to find the forfeits himself and drank his beer at a draft, while it took the German four gulps to account for the wine. How early did mankind think of the convenience of the fingerless glove? Little was said of gloves in ancient times, but in most cases it is obvious that they had fingers. Those worn by the secretary of the younger Pliny, used when he visited Vesuvius, so that he might keep on jotting down notes in spite of the cold, must have been fingered, no less than those of a victim in Antheaneus, who wore gloves in the mouth that he might handle the meat while hot and get in advance of his bare handed fellow diners.

When Wrinkles Come The first wrinkle of age comes on the side of the cheek just in front of the ear and its possessor is, as a rule, the last person to notice it. Just behind the ear there is usually a falling off of the roundness of the neck, and the hair becomes thin, leaving a bald look on the woman over 40 if she is not careful to remedy these important blemishes. Massage will do more for these growing imperfections than almost any other facial defect. MAMIE GIVES ADVICE Young Darnley had stared at Maude unseingly through his dinner as far as the salad before he saw her. When a man is engrossed with a broken heart caused by one young women he cannot be expected instantly to recognize the charms of another. Up to the moment that he gazed at her seeingly Mamie was merely the human automaton in the exclusive little cafe who set food before young Darnley. Then suddenly he realized the pretty folly of her face, the freshness of her color, the extreme shiny neatness of her hair. The fingers of the hand resting on one hip were tapering and white. It was a surprise to him that these facts penetrated the paralysis of his brain. For after a year of hoping to be engaged to Jessie and half a year of thinking he was engaged to her it left him in a daze to face the fact that he wasn't engaged to her at all and that the ring was nestling in his vocket in its box, a most uncomfortable lump. Young Darnley was a broker's clerk, with prospects, and he had been to college and he was lonesome and homestick since the end of the Jessie episode. There was something about Mamie's cheerful smile and wholesome presence that comforted him. He told Mamie that the ple was good. "Glad you like it," said she. "You haven't been eating much of late, I've noticed." Unsentimental persons will not be able to understand how in ten minutes young Darnley had told all his sorrows to Mamie. There was nothing of the flirt about Mamie. She simply took young Darnley under her wing in a motherly way in spite of the fact that she was not 20. He began to cheer up insensibly in that atmosphere, as is the way of the masculine world. "Will you go to the moving picture show up the street with me this evening?" young Darnley asked Mamie suddenly while at dinner. He felt that some return was due her for her kindness and she was a girl whom no need be ashamed to be seen with. "Sure," said Mamie with no flutter at all. Young Darnley had a very good time that evening. When Mamie met him she wore a trim tail suit and a saucy hat and she laughed a lot and made him laugh. Going home he spoke bitterly of the false Jessie. "Mebbe she really did think she was right," Mamie insisted. "Mebbe she didn't pick the quarrel just to get rid of you like you think!" Mamie was a comforting person to talk to. She was always interested and she gave him advice about Jessie which he instantly repudiated. He spent a great deal of time trying to explain to her that that part of his life was all over and finished. "Sure," Mamie would say. "Just you cheer up and forget it!" Then the next time he talked about it she would repeat her advice that he go back to Jessie and say he was sorry. "Do you think I want to go back?" he would ask with immense scorn. For several months young Darnley took Mamie out. One evening when he felt especially blue he made up his mind that he knew what was the trouble. All he needed was perpetual sympathy and cheerfulness like Mamie's to make life worth living. He wondered that he had been so dull as not to see, it before. What were social distinctions and class lines when put up against genuine worth? So, taking Mamie's hand in his as they walked along, he asked her to marry him. "KID," said Mamie rather tremulously, "you're a nice chap. You've been mighty good to me. I'm glad you like me. But you're all wrong in the way you's doped this out. Honest, you aren't in love with you at all! Why, I'm not your sort! What's making you miserable all his time and what you honestly want to do and won't and should is to trot along to Jessie and swallow your pride and then be happy all the rest of your life! She'll make up with you if you go." "Do you really think so?" young Darnley asked. "Sure she will!" she said sturdily, giving him a little push. "Go along this minute—it isn't late! And forget what you said to me!" Young Darnley looked down at Mamie. She was smiling up at him brightly as usual. There was nothing pathetic about the rosy face. Yet there was a sudden lump in his throat as young Darnley bent over and kissed her. "You--you're a brick, Mamie!!" he said, huskily. "I'll never forget what you've done for me! And I like you awfully well!" Mamie watched him as he hastened down the street. She dabbed at her eyes as she turned in at her door. "Of course she'll take him back!" she said fiercely.

It is estimated that the Chinese consume annually five pounds of tea for each member of the population. It grows in small patches around the homesteads, plantations being practically unknown. The leaves are pickled by members of the family and dried in the sun, being subsequently handed over to the middlemen, who subject them to the process of firing. In the case of green tea the leaves are roasted almost immediately after they are gathered, and dried off quickly after being rolled into balls by hand and squeezed. There are usually three picklings—early in April, when the leaves are covered with a whitish down (a limited output known as pekoe); toward the middle of May and again in August. Brick tea is made by pressing the damp tea in a mold in the form of a brick, 12 to 12 inches long and about one 8 inch thick. The fragrance of all scented tea is not natural, but imparted by firing the leaf with a sort of jasmine flower, called by the Chinese "mok-lee."

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC "ALL PASSES, ART ALONE ENDURES" The Past Week at the Chicago Theatres—Notes of the Profession All Around the World.—By Minnie Adams. Tonefulness comes from soulfulness.—Minnie Adams. Marshall and Tribble are at Nelson theater, Springfield, Mass The Grand. The last half of the week, which began Thursday, Aug. 1, opened with Pero and Wilson making merry in comedy pantomimes. The Three American Troubadours in instrumental and vocal were fair. E. A. Warren and Company in a comedy playlet, "Cheese and Crackers," were excellent. Wilson and Washington, "The Band Man and His Band," were fine. Mr. Wilson has now a comedian suitable to offset his work and it is to be hoped they will remain together. The Original Tetauwari Japanese Family were splendid and their scenery was (as is ever the work of the Orientals) beautiful. Beginning of week, Monday, Aug. 5—The first part of the week contained Will H. Fields and La Della in a singing, talking and dancing skilt which was fairly well appreciated. Low Leever, a character singing comedian, Voice," was delightful and embraced many stern facts fittingly presented to was good. Sadle Kussell and Company in a comedy playlet, "The minds of the listeners by three excellent portrayers of human tragedies. Copeland and Payton in an original skit, "A Scene in a Dining Car," was the big' card of the show. Nothing better in the line of sketches has been seen at the Grand. Their work is original and carries nothing in the way of an imitation about it. Both of the men put their shoulders, as it were, to the wheel and make every effort to please the public and their work is not in vain, for they show up as first-class performers. Much could be said as to their individual work, but suffice to say they are "top notchers" in the business. They carry special scenery and are greeted with spontaneous applause at every performance. The Three Martynes were fine equilibrists and made more than good with their wonderful feats of strength. The Monogram. Miss Jennie Taylor, a mandolinist and cornetist, is pleasing the people with her musical numbers. Gant and Hunter are very good. Miss Davis is decidedly good looking and gracious and Mr. Wilson is a funny fellow who knows how to put a song over and is not slow when it comes to dancing. Hunter and Gant do a fairly good singing, talking and dancing sketch. But the joke they use about the money needed to buy a seal skin brown is not only superfluous but absolutely "rotten" and every manager should see to it that such suggestions used on a polite stage should be stamped out. One of the greatest crimes for which we have to blush is the knowledge that able-bodied men are so devoid of all principle and so corrupt that they accept the support of women. Then, too, we are ashamed of those of our women who so far forget themselves and the respect which they should always demand from the opposite sex that they will allow a man to take their money. Any time a woman must pay a man to keep his company rest assured that man does not respect her and only stays near for the benefits he derives and in, we might say, every case of this kind this same man has some one whom he loves and respects and is no doubt lavishing presents on this loved one with the money he extracts from his human bank and would not for all the world have the woman he respects to know from whence comes his influence. So if the women of the stage will consider, they will realize the mockery and degradation in using as a joke a destestable realization. Hattie Mcintosh and her lads are with us again in a most amusing "After Piece." It is enough to say they are the hit of the bill. Mrs. Mcintosh is not exhibiting her beauty this week as when last seen at the Monogram. Their work is new and the grotesque costume worn by this handsome woman almost disguises her. Still her work as well as that of her clever dancing boys is fine. Interesting Topics. Prof. J. Elmer Spyglass will appear at Bethel A. M. E. church in Detroit, Mich., on Aug. 20 in a song recital. Alda Overton Walker has been engaged to revive "The Dance of Salome" at the Victoria theater in New York city, her first appearance will be Monday, Aug. —. No better interpreter of the "Salome Dance" is to be found among the races than Miss Walker. Hers is not only an intelligent conception of the dance, but as is given this greatest of all dances it bespeaks passion, modesty, grace and rhythm all combined, so as not to displease the eye nor disgrace affect the mind of the lover of music in its purest and truest sense. Perrin, Crosby and Saparo are booked by the big time starting Sept. 2. Their season extends about forty weeks. This is one of the best trios on the vaudeville stage today. Each one brings into his work originality and intelligence ever trying to give the public all that's coming to them. And by so doing the trio has won for themselves an envolable place in the hearts of theater goers.

Herman Wallace, 583 Warren street, was the winner in a piano contest held in Brooklyn last week. Mr. George R. Garner, Jr., Chicago's brilliant and pleasing tenor, has returned from his participation in the Chautauqua held in Glenwood, Ill. He reports a fine time. Mr. Garner directed a choir of forty voices in Bethel A. M. e. church last Sunday in Aurora, Ill., and covered himself with many honors. Miss Lottie Grady, Chicago's most pleasing soubrette and comedienne, is doing nicely, after having an operation performed last Tuesday by Dr. H. Reginald Smith at Provident Hospital.

Washington Gives Sage Advice to Workers at the Newport News Shipyard—Must Attend Strictly to Business. By Wm. A. Avery, Special Defender Correspondent. Newport News, Va., Aug. 9—With rare tact and force Dr. Booker T. Washington, who is a master in handling men and solving difficult problems, recently spoke to a large group of colored men and boys who are employed at good wages by the Newport N shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company. Dr. Washington spoke very plainly on the subject of colored men and boys attending more strictly to their work. There is a distinct need of having the 2,250 colored men and boys cooperate with the general manager, Homer L. Ferguson, and other officers of the great shipbuilding plant who have clearly shown, even under the most trying conditions, their desire to give the colored workers a square deal. The question to be settled has not been one of hours and wages but one of getting colored men and boys to work regularly. It has been customary for many of the colored employees to spend much of their time in idleness when their services were needed not only by the shipyard management but by their fellow-workers. For a time the introduction of foreigners was almost certain. An increased pay of colored workers increased to make matters worse instead of better. Idleness and irregularity were increased. Finally a group of colored men from Newport News, headed by Walter K. Jones, who has the respect and confidence of white and colored people alike, brought the matter before Major R. M. Roton of Hampton Institute, and he in Dr. Washington in bringing the problem fairly and squarely before the colored workers in the shipyard and those who can bring unusual influence to bear upon them—mothers, wives, ministers, doctors, lawyers, teachers and business men. Conditions in Europe. Dr. Washington outlined the condition of working men in Southern Europe. He told graphically the story of his trip through Europe and his experience with men and women who were poorly fed, poorly clothed, poorly housed and poorly paid for their laborious services. He showed by contrast how much better off are the Negroes of America who do not have to seek work and who with thrift can improve their economic condition. The Newport News shipyard pays weekly to colored workers twenty-five thousand dollars. This fact shows the important economic reason for Dr. Washington encouraging the colored workers to stick to their jobs and, instead of recklessly and foolishly spending their good wages, build better homes and churches. Company to Open Y. M. C. A. An eloquent appeal was made by Dr. Washington, who through actual experience knows the hardships of an uphill struggle, and his audience, both white and black, followed him closely. He urged the colored people to do their full duty and more than they were being paid for, to keep their word, to put heart and conscience into their work, to co-operate heartily with those in authority, and to cultivate civic pride. He called upon the white people to exercise more patience with the colored people with whom they deal, for after all the American Negro is a loyal, Christian, American citizen. He asked that the colored men and boys of the shipyard be given the opportunity of making a new start. The eyes of the colored people throughout the United States are turned upon the men and boys who have in their grasp the success or failure of many, many Negroes in industry. The Newport News Shipbuilding Company will open a Y. M. C. A. with a paid secretary, a night school, and will do all that it can to keep its colored workers off the streets and give them an opportunity of becoming more efficient and reliable.

A London street, its rows of gaunt houses; the heavy atmosphere, suffused with a faint veil of gray fog, the dull, monotonous rumble of traffic, the weary feeling of struggling humanity, the sound of anxious footsteps hastening along the paved road of life. The only color in this dim picture a patch of violets—violets heaped in profusion on the flower-girl's tray. Violets, whose breath, laden with a thousand memories, floats on the stifling air and creeps unbidden, it may be unwelcome, into the very heart of every passerby. The city man, his mind running in figures, pulls up short to buy a bunch of the flowers, whose sweet scent sifts his dull memory into activity, telling him that he still possesses a heart. Emotions, long stilled, memories bitter-sweet, youthful dreams awakened by the fragrance of those violets, rise persistently all day long, following him, tugging at his sleeve, even in the midst of the all-abiding worship of Mamman. "Poor little modest flower!" A youth, battling with the harder side of life, looks down with pity on the bunch of violets in his hand. Like a soft caress their breath touches his sensitive heart, raising him above the hum of city life into the "fool's paradise" of fancy. Two girls approach; one is richly dressed. The flower-girl steps eagerly forward, her monotonous cry changing to a note of earnest interrogation. The elder of the two waves aside the modest English flower; the more expensive Parma violet is selected—they remind her of Nice and of the Carnival. Her companion, in the plain brown dress, scarcely hears these flippant remarks. Bending over the tray of English violets, she has become unconscious of her surroundings. The violet whisper in her ear of babbling brook and the song of birds. She sees her home—the tiny cottage, her mother's smile; her little brother, for whose sake she has left that simple, happy life to live in the glare of London society, where she must silently endure a thousand veiled insults that only a dependent can understand. When she turns away a violet glistens in the feeble sunshine—a tear from a lonely, sympathetic heart like, like a dewdrop, on the violet's breast. All day long the violets pour out their fragrant life on the soiled air, growing fainter, fading away as the day wears on. Hundreds hurry past. Few allow themselves to catch the sweet thoughts that hover round the flowers; fewer still have time to stop and buy. The flower-girl knows nothing of this magic fragrance. The scent of a tray full of fresh violts brings back the picture of a cold, bleak morning, a noisy market, the beginning of a hard day's work and vague, uneasy questionings prompted by pangs of hunger. Far dear to her heart than the fairest flower is the sight of a little heap of dirty coppers, counted out on an empty tray. A fashionably-dressed couple stop before the flower-girl. The man offers his companion a bunch of English violts, but as before, they are scornfully declined. "Parma violts look so well on fur; English violts are so common!" she explains. The man puts the reflected bunch of violets in his buttonhole, his thoughts leap back to a forsaken memory—the street fades; the sound of traffic grows less; he answers his companion mechanically; his thoughts are far away. Violets, violets, nothing but violets! There at least in the cold solitude of the wood that shy, most modest of flowers was not afraid of being seen. The ground was carpeted with them, the air was filled with their fragrance. A girl sat on the stump of a tree, with violets in her hands, in the basket at her side; violets profusely at her feet; violets, soft and dark, in her eyes. As some one drew near her color deepened, an expectant smile hovered round her lips. They come to a more crowded part of the street. The man draws closer to his companion; the isidious scent of the Parma violets she is wearing penetrates into the very heart of the enchanted wood. Forbidden dreams, forbiddent thoughts, a thousand regrets rush for a moment through his brain, but he has deliberately scorned the modest country flower, he had chosen her rich, her more precious rival. In the press of the crowd something falls to the ground; it is his bunch of English violets—they lie in the mud. For a moment he hesitates, then he goes on his way—not daring to pick them up. "V'lits, v'lits, only a penny a bunch!" The Summer Girl Again. Mayor Bacharach of Atlantic City told a summer-girl story at a dinner at the Mariborough-Blenheim. "On the beach in the moonlight," he said, "a youth clasped a malden passionately to his breast and murmured: "Do you love me, darling?" "Yes—ah, yes, Reginald," she sighed. "Reginald? said the youth, in a startled voice. 'You mean Clarence, don't you, dear?' "Smiling sweetly, she nestled closer. "Yes, Clarence, of course', she said. 'How stupid of me! I was thinking it was the week-end.'

Sweets for Children. If you desire to keep your children healthy and yet satisfy their natural craving for sweets, give them the sugar in its natural form. Candy is injurious, but honey, preserved figs and dates, raisins and maple syrup are just as much appreciated by the small folk as the manufactured sweets. An Ideal I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of a man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor. It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue and so make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do.—Thoreau.

Slight of the Color Blind. A color blind person sees light as either white or gray and dark colors appear either as dark gray or black. This mutual sensitivity is due to the fact that the light nerves and color nerves are closely interbound, but there is a different set of nerves for both light and color just as there are different sets of nerves for temperature and for touch.

Young. The Grace team lost Saturday at Washington Park to Bethlehem chapel by the score of 13 to 10. Poor team work and two very poor decisions against them caused their downfall. The visitors made three errors while Grace made four, their errors paving way for runs each time. For the first time I saw Mr. Sullivan get rattled and render decisions that were questionable. Once at third base when Renfroe had his man out and again on a line drive that went into foul territory inside of third base was called fair and resulted in two runs. The game was cleanly played with the exception of one or two dirty tactics on the part of the visitors; once in trying to spike Peacher at first base and again at second when they tried a few rough actions. Notes. Peacher had his hands full, as the infield seemed to get wabby at times and caused the first sacker some worry. Herble Lewis was back in the game, playing in the field, and later relieving Baker. Although the Champions got in the lead after the switch Baker gets charged with a game lost. Luck has broken against us in the last two games. Umpire Sullivan does not seem to know the rules regarding a balk. Saturday the visitor's pitcher should have been called three times, but Sullivan couldn't see it that way. All the Cuban pitchers looked alike to the American Glants this week. They took them all into camp. Sam Crawford, a pitcher for the Chicago Giants, established what is believed to be a new baseball record on Friday when he fanned fifteen men in a five-inning game between the Giants and Coal Citys at Bridwood, Ill. The score was 4 to 1 for the Giants, the tally being made when Catcher Green let the third strike escape him, the man going to second on it and scoring a moment later when Green made a high throw to nail him. The extra man to bat went out on a grounder, pitcher to first base. The same clubs followed with another five-inning game, in which Crawford fanned twelve men, making twenty-seven in ten innings. No hits were made in either game, the extra men in the second game going out on grounders to third and second base and a fly to center. No bases on balls were issued in either game. OUT IN ENGLEWOOD.

C., August 9.—There are, in all probability, thousands and thousands of dollars lying in the United States treasury due colored ex-soldiers and sailors of the Civil and Spanish-American wars, was the statement made recently by William L. Houston, ex-grand master of the Odd Fellows and now a practicing attorney, with offices in the Dietz building, 7th and F streets, of this city. Prior to practicing law Mr. Houston was for a number of years a clerk in the War Department here, and as such became familiar with military laws and records. Bounty, Prize Money and Pensions in "Strong Box" Continuing, Mr. Houston said: "It seems almost incredible that colored exsoldiers and sailors, or their heirs, would fall to file claims for moneys rightfully due them from the Government. In many cases, however, heirs are ignorant of the fact that any money is due their relatives who have served in either the Civil or the Spanish-American war. In some cases the money due is 'prize money'; in others it is bounty, arrears in pay or pension. During the Civil war and during the Spanish-American war there were many colored sailors who served on American ships that captured ships of the enemy. Such are entitled to 'prize money', and if they did not receive it they are still entitled to it. Then there are cases of colored soldiers or sailors who served in the Civil war, enlisting before a certain period, who are entitled to a bounty of $100 per year served. If they were not paid this bounty at the time of their 'discharge', then they or their heirs are still entitled to it and can secure it now by filing a claim for it. And there are many colored veterans of the Civil war and some of the Spanish-American war who can doubtless prove their claim to a pension or perhaps to some arrears in pay, for in not a few instances soldiers and sailors failed to receive all due them at the time of their discharge, or, perhaps, if killed, or dying in the service, their heirs failed to receive all that was due them as pay." Sound Claims That Have Been Paid. As Mr. Houston practiced regularly before the Departments at Washington he is familiar with all procedures necessary to secure whatever is due colored exsoldiers and sailors, or their heirs, from the United States government. Mr. Houston referred to or rather cited three recent instances of heirs of colored men who served either in the Army or Navy branch of the Government, filing claims and securing the money due them. In one instance he cited a widow made claim for and received over $1,000; in another case, a widow made claim for and received over $100; and in a third case, a widow was paid over $100. And, he added, that in his opinion, there are scores and scores of others who, if they will but file and prove their claims, are entitled to a comfortable sum of money. Mr. Houston, noted for his public spirit and ever willingness to help all kinds and conditions of mankind, stated that he himself would gladly take up any case of colored ex-soldiers or sailors or their heirs, which might be called to his attention. "The Government is sure pay," said ae, "if a claimant proves his claim; but they must prove all claims. White ex-soldiers and sailors, or heirs of the same, are constantly—daily—filing claims. But," remarked Mr. Houston, "it is a rare thing for a colored person to file a claim. Why our people are so slow, it is difficult to fathom. The time to act is now." Improvements at Freedmen's Hospital. Not nearly as many people know as ought to know that there is at the nation's capital, primarily for the benefit of the Negro citizens of the Republic, one of the very largest, finest and most completely equipped hospitals in the world. This is Freedmen's hospital, established shortly after the Civil war as a part of the movement that gave to the Negro race Howard university, its much needed medical school and other facilities for the propagation of the higher training of the newly emancipated colored people. Visitors who come to Washington invariably ask about this magnificent institution and it is pointed out as one of the conspicuous "show places" of the town. It is ideally situated in North Washington, on the rise of one of the capital's seven hills, fitting symmetrically into an educational and civic center that is destined to become famous the nation over. It faces the open grounds of Howard park, with Howard university towering in the rear, Howard Medical school to the southward, flanked by Mott school on the east and the site of the new $250,000 Normal School No. 2 to the westward, surrounded by the homes and churches of the representative colored citizens of the district. It is one of the prettiest and most healthful spots to be found anywhere. The structure is of brick and is two stories high, so arranged in a series of wings that a maximum of light and air is obtained for all of the rooms. It is comparatively new, having been erected in 1904, and covers practically all of the tract bounded by 4th and 6th, Trumbull and College streets. For the appropriations that led to the new building and its development, the hospital authorities are very grateful to the good offices of Senators W. B. Allison and Benjamin Ryan Tillman. Fostered by humanitarians in Congress, the growth of the institution has been rapid, but solid. It has now 278 beds, is provided with the most modern appliances and apparatus for its surgical, medical and chemical departments, and has a corps of employee numbering about 100. Its visiting and consulting staff embraces some of the most noted men in the profession, and it is regarded as no small honor to be a member thereof. The operating expenses last year were $69,000, and this year's estimates call for $74,000. The hospital is a government institution, a bureau of the Interior Department, and is for all the people, but social conditions here are such that it has come to be known as a colored institution and the bulk of the patients are of our race and the managing authorities are colored. Two thousand nine hundred patients were treated last year; United States and District; 12,712 prescriptions were compounded; 1,767 operations were performed; and 983 emergency cases were handled. Some of the most intricate operations known to the science have been performed here. The entire plant is valued at not less than $750,000-threequarters of a million—and it has not yet reached the zenith of its great possibilities. Beginning July 1 a "pay ward" was established for the accommodation of persons able to pay, but, previously barred by the law restricting service to the indigent. Eventually a $60,000 building will be erected especially for the pay patients, if the recommendation of Dr. Warfield goes through. An orthopedic ward is also one of the new features asked for, along with an electric ambulance, an ice plant and additional employees, together with an appropriation for the beautification of the grounds. Not long ago a nurses' nome was built on the grounds at a cost of $40,000. The Nurses' Training school is one of the best branches of the institution. It has sent 230 trained women to various portions of the country, and this year there were 42 taking the three-year course. A pathological building, to cost $25,000, is one of the possibilities of the near future. Great pride is taken by Dr. Warfield in the new and well worked "card index" system, through which the records of the institution are faithfully kept and from which any fact can be gleaned in a moment's time. Surgeon-in-Chief Warfield a "Self Made Man." Dr. William A. Warfield, the progressive and ever alert surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's hospital, has held the office since 1901. He is a "self-made man" in the truest sense of the term, rising steadily by dint of his own efforts and indomitable pluck from obscurity to eminence. A native of Montgomery county, Maryland, he started out as a farmer's boy, working from dawn until dark for the munifient salary of 25 cents per day. As he grew up he chopped wood, planted tobacco, plowed the field and harvested the crops. He managed to get into Morgan college, and laid the foundation of his successful career by teaching school in the Maryland counties, studying as he taught. By frugality and industry he was enabled to save money enough to enter the medical department of Howard university, graduating in 1904, and earning an appointment as an interne in Freedman's hospital. His subsequent history is inseparably interwoven with the evolution of that superb institution, as his rise to the responsible positions of assistant and then surgeon-in-chief will show. Modest in demeanor but thorough in his grasp of details and in the fine points of his profession; gracious to all men but forceful in the execution of a given work; firm as an administrator, but granting a "square deal" in office and out of it, Dr. Warfield has built around him a loyal and competent staff of assistants and he enjoys the confidence, respect and affection of hosts of friends. Both races are numerously represented on his staff, but there is no semblance of friction along the color line. Dr. Warfield's immediate corps of assistants is as follows: Assistant surgeon, Dr. S. L. Carson; resident physician, Dr. C. A. Brooks; pathologist, Dr. Walter Van Swearinger; anesthetist, Dr. George W. Davis; F. D. Henry is chief clerk in the office, with Miss Arsine Elizabeth Jones as stenographer, and W. E. Cobb as general clerk. The nurses' staff includes Laura McHale, superintendent; Emma Mae Irwin, assistant superintendent; Martha E. Cabanis, night supervisor; Marion V. Lucas and Bertha J. Turner, head nurses. Ten bright young men are serving as internes. Some distinguished men have preceded Dr. Warfield as surgeon-in-chief of Freedman's hospital, among them Dr. C. B. Puris, John R. Francis, Daniel H. Williams and A. M. Curtis. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Sherman Allen. Another excellent appointment by President Taft is that of the Hon. Sherman Allen of Vermont as assistant secretary of the treasury to succeed Dr. A. Platt Andrew. Mr. Allen was until recently assistant secretary to the President at the White House and his promotion is a fitting recognition of the brilliant success he achieved in that responsible capacity. He is the soul of courtesy and at the treasury has already made a fine impression as a trained man of affairs who will administer the office with due regard for the interests of the government and the people allike. Before entering the federal service Mr. Allen was the Washington representative of the New York Herald and was one of the most popular figures in the press' gallery and in Newspaper downtown. That he will add to his laurels in his new station goes without saying. He will prove to be a tower of strength to the administration of President Taft. Justice for Mingo Saunders. At last there is justice in sight for poor old Mingo Saunders! This faithful and upright soldier and patriot, after suffering for years for an offense he did not commit, is within reach of the honors that were snatched away by the order discharging him without honor, along with his comrades of the Black Battalion of the 25th at Brownsville. Already President Taft has issued an executive order transferring him from a minor position at the Navy Yard in this city to a messenger-ship in the Interior Department' at a salary of $340 per annum. Representative W. A. Rodenberg of Illinois has THE CHICAGO DEPENDER introduced a bill in the House providing for the reinstatement of Saunders in the Army and permitting his retirement at once. This will restore him to his status in the army establishment, entitle him to a neat sum in back pay and a comfortable stipend for life, in addition to his salary as a messenger to the department. When discharged Second Lieutenant Saunders had twenty-six years, and after another year service would have been entitled to retirement at two-thirds pay and allowances. Before the close of the Congressional session Mr. Rodenberg announces that he will introduce a bill for the reinstatement of all the innocent soldiers discharged for participation in the Brownville riots. The situation, as far as the Negro is concerned, is "looking up." That Alabama Collectorship. President Taft has appointed Sim T. Wright of Fayette as collector of internal revenue for the district of Alabama, vice J. O. Thompson, dismissed for pernicious political activity. Mr. Wright was supported by the regular Republican organization, it is understood, and the pledge to name him is sald to have been made before the friends of Dr. U. G. Mason, for whom a strong fight was made, had gotten well under way in his behalf. Dr. Mason's high character and fitness were conceded by all, and many whites spoke of him in the most laudatory terms as a man and citizen and loyal administration worker, but the bugbear known as "senatorial courtesy" got between Dr. Mason and the coveted honor, and it became an impassable barrier before which his forces were compelled to bow. The uncompromising opposition of the Democratic senators, Johnston and Bankhead, would have made his confirmation impossible. It does seem that no Negro, however competent, can be confirmed now for any position of dignity and responsibility, as one or more of the southern senators will "object," and the unwritten law of "courtesy" seems to bind other senators to respect the objections. The Campaign Getting Under Way. The presidential campaign is rapidly getting under way. The complications following the Chicago convention are being unraveled, and as soon as the organization is perfected, the managers will be in a position to make some definite announcements. Mravid S. Barry, an experienced newspaper man, is to have charge of the publicity bureau. The sponsors are of the opinion that the situation is growing brighter for him day by day. The attitude of the "Bull Moose" party on the Negro' question, they say, will bring about a steady flow of enthusiasm for the president and the regular organization, which has never refused to admit the Negro of any section to its inner councils. Some interesting developments seem to be in prospect. Chicago Sends Biggest and Prettiest Delegation to Hampton and the Capital. Chicago has the honor of sending the biggest and prettiest delegation to the session of the National Association of Colored Women which met at Hampton Institute last week. The party that left the "Windy City" filled two special-Pullmans and numbered forty-nine, and a goodly company of them stopped over at the capital, to view the many points of interest. Prominent among this galaxy of fair women were Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay Davis, who was unanimously re-elected national organizer of the Association, and who made a report at the session that took the body off its feet; Mrs. Ophie Brown Wells, a musician of national note, who was chosen as pianist for the entire convention, acquiring herself admirably; Mrs. R. B. Montgomery, of Milwaukee, associate editor of the Wisconsin Weekly Advocate, a newspaper woman of marked ability; and others who had gone on before the eagle eye of your correspondent could recover from the dazzling effect of their presence. The ladis were chaperoned in attentive fashion by Mrs. Carrie B. Hall, of this city, a former Chicagoan, who has identified herself with the club movements of this city and has happily augmented the brilliance of our social circles. Mrs. Davis, speaking for the ladies of the party, said the Hampton meeting, in point of numbers, harmony and real work accomplished, was the best that had yet been held. She, in common with her sisters throughout the country, was delighted with the election of Mrs. Booker T. Washington, and knew that with her at the head of the organization the work would be pushed, just as she pushed things at Tuskegee. All of the women at Hampton' made a fine showing, indicating that the Association and its aims were taking a stronger hold than ever upon the rank and file of the women of the land, but she was particularly impressed with the practical and uplifting talks of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Mrs. J. C. Napier, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Mrs. B. K. Bruce and others—although she confessed it would require a roll call of the convention to do equal and exact justice to all. There will be a big crowd at Wilberforce in 1914, and the fact that the Association is to go there, is proof of the influence wielded by the gifted Miss-Hallie Q. Brown in the convention. She was easily the center of attraction. The people of Hampton were so whole-souled and genuinely hospitable we all want to go there again. Mrs. Davis paid a handsome tribute to the beauty and culture of the women of Washington, as well as to the gallantry of the men. She extended to all a cordial invitation to come out to the "Windy City" on the 21st to the meetings of the National Negro Business League and its auxiliary bodies. The Chicagoans want to see a monster delegation from the east. While here, the Chicago ladies visited the Capitol, and saw congress at work, dropped in on Secretary MacVeagh, the colored people's favorite member of the cabinet, and viewed the manifold beauties of the Congressional library, the Corcoran Art Gallery, our magnification Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. C., and the Social Settlement. A distinguished member of the party to whom especial attention was directed. was Miss Ellie Walls, a master of arts of Columbia University, and a bachelor of arts of Fisk. She is from Houston, Texas, and is a young lady of impressive personality. Mrs. Montgomery, who is fond of the newspaper folks, is anxious to see all of the "fourth estate" representatives at the Press Convention in Chicago on the 20th. Mme. Anita. Patti Brown, of Chicago, known the country over as "the Bronze Tetrazinil," to appear here in a star concert in the fall, under the auspices of a leading musical organization, after which thir prima donna is to fill a return engagement in Bermuda and Jamaica. Mme. Brown is a favorite in the nation's capital, and her coming will be warmly welcomed. Dr. W. Bruce Evans, principal of the famous Armstrong Manual Training School, is resting quietly at home this summer. He has on foot a number of plans, looking to the enlargement of the work at his great school, and the new term will find many improvements in the curriculum. The new addition has been completed and the machinery has been installed, making Armstrong the best equipped municipal manual training school for the race in the country. The idea was developed here under the personal supervision of Dr. Evans, and to him, more than to any one individual, is due the presence of this magnificent temple of practical instruction in the District is due. We shall have more today upon this important subject later. Capt. James F. Oyster, one of the best friends the Negro has in Washington, has been re-elected president of the Board of Education. He believes that schools are made for the children, and that the best equipment is none too good, insisting at all times that the accommodations for the colored child shall be identical with those furnished to the white child. Under his administration, backed by the constant support of President Taft, the appropriations for the colored schools have steadily increased, until the proportion allotted to the Negro schools, under the act of 1912, amounts to 41 per cent of the total for school purposes in the District. Capt. Oyster has given hearty support to the broad and constructive policies of Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conkling Bruce, and it is to this sympathetic cooperation that the latter owes his ability to bring the colored schools up to their present high standard. We are glad to see Capt. Oyster retain his seat at the head of the Board of Education. It is expected that Presider Taft will this week commute the sentence of Mattie Lomax to life imprisonment. Under the order of the court, the woman is to be hanged Aug. 19 for the killing of her husband. Great pressure has been brought to bear in the woman's behalf, and three times she has been resisted, pending investigation of her case. Mrs.莎丽 M. Stockton, secretary of the Washington Sight-Seeing Automobile and Investment Company, has filed suit against William P. Eldridge for $10,000 damages for alleged slander. Eldridge charges Mrs. Stockton, who is 'secretary of the Automobile Company, with improptly in connection with the keeping of the books of the company. Mrs. Stockton claims that such accusations in public and before many acquaintances has seriously injured her. Figures have been compiled at the Navy Department showing that there are 4,113 colored men in the navy and in the employ of the department elsewhere. They are receiving an annual salary amounting in the aggregate to $2,160,000. In the enlisted personnel of the navy there are 1,529 colored men, receiving an aggregate wage of $676,000. Thus the number of colored men in the navy and the amount of money received by them under the administration of President Taft re represents the highwater mark known to the history of the country. Selzed by an Eagle. A huge eagle swooped down on the home of a Westport, Conn., man a few days ago and seized Anna, his two-year-old daughter, in its talons and attempted to fly away with her. The screams of the child brought the father to the yard. The bird then dropped the little one, and the father seized her and ran into the house. The little girl's clothes were torn by the bird's talons, but she was not even scratched. Worked That Time Anyw In the Irish rebellion a bombshell whizzed toward an Irishman's head.

Miller, 626 Grove street, an old resident of Evanston, was found dead Tuesday morning on a porch at 1960 Sheridan Road. Mr. Miller was private night watchman in the neighborhood of the university. Mr. Miller was born in Elmira, New York about 56 years ago. He came to Chicago about 35 years ago and later settled in Evanston where he was put on the police force. After resigning from police service Mr. Miller was made a private watchman. He was a member of Ebenezer A. M. E. church he was well thought of by all who knew him. He leaves a wife, other relatives and a host of friends to mourn his loss. Funeral was held Thursday morning from Ebenezer Rev. Graves officiating. Y. M. C. A. Since the taking of the census for the colored Y. M. C. A. many questions have been asked concerning the erection of the building. All those who have questions to ask will have a chance to have them answered soon for Chairman W. P. Garnet has issued the following statement: "All captains of teams of the Y. M. C. A. are notified to begin work some time before the fifteenth of September. A more definite notice will be given later." It is important that all Negroes concerned in the welfare of themselves and the race as a whole obey the commands to begin work. Let us demonstrate to the white citizens of Evanston, who are so much interested in the affair, that we mean business. But above all let us be long on the money matters and short on talk. Prof. G. T. Simpson in Evanston. Evanston, known the world over, as the city of culture and refinement, threw her gates of welcome open to Prof. G. T. Simpson of Wilberforce University several weeks ago. Prof. Simpson is here taking a post-graduate course in music at Northwestern University. During his stay here Mr. Simpson appeared before two audiences and held them spell bound with that most splendid and well developed tenor voice. Mr. Simpson is without doubt one of the greatest singers that has visited our city. This is saying much, for each year we are visited by hundreds of artists of rare ability but among them Mr. G. T. Simpson stands second to none. It is a life time treat to hear him sing. Jolly Twenty in Evanston. The Jelly Twenty, a North Side social club of Chicago, was entertained by Mrs. James Landers, 1103 Clark street on last Thursday evening. Mrs. D. Richardson was the guest of honor. After carefully going over its business, the club threw open its doors for joy, and for three or four hours joy knew no bounds in the home of Mrs. Landers, which was nicely arranged for the occasion.

The first secret was that Mr. Joseph Black and Miss Roxie Green were quietly married about a month ago. Mr. and Mrs. Black are comfortably situated at 1904 Asbury avenue. Second he told of Mr. C. F. Wilson and Miss Lena Irwin marrying a month ago. He said that Mr. Wilson was from Missouri and he was a "show me man." In turn Mr. Wilson showed the other fellow. Sees Surprise Party Beforehand. It is said that a jet black cat is a good sign of luck. Now we are also told that coming events can be seen in coffee grounds. This was the case with Miss Goldie Young of Dayton, Ohio, who looked in the bottom of a cup a few days ago and foretold of a big gathering in which she would be the leading figure. On last Thursday evening Miss Young's predictions came true and caught her when she was least expecting. Mrs. Lela Bell, assisted by Mrs. C. B. Scruggs and a few other girls, gave a surprise party for Miss Young and when she came home Thursday evening she found the house dark. But as she entered the door the entire house was lighted by an electric switch and a number of guests welcomed Miss Young. The party was one of the most enjoyable of its kind. Miss Young said that she did not think such a "trick" was up her friend's sleeves. But all enjoyed the evening. Miss M. E. Wiley, 1502 Elmwood avenue, left Tuesday afternoon for a three weeks' visit to Tennessee. Miss Wiley will visit Nashville, Clarksville, Waverly, Erin, Dixon and several other points in Tennessee.

Five persons united with the church at the morning service, one of whom was happily converted in the person of Mr. S. J. Johnson. The members and friends of Ebenezer noiselessly and with very little effort laid on the table $861.59. A very large audience greeted the pastor Sunday night, and with the aid of Prof. Geo. T. Simpson of Wilberforce the young people's choir gave the best music it has yet produced. This is a powerful combination of young voices, under the direction of Mr. Walter Gossette, and their singing is the talk of all Evanson. Seven trustees of Ebenezer laid on the table Sunday $190, while the official board put up $128. Then came the Sunday school, lead on by the greatest Sunday school man in the west, W. H. Twiggs, and presented the church as its contribution to the rally $162. The other departments did splendidly. Just follow the crowd if you want to find Ebenezer, either morning or evening, as it is packed every Sunday, especially at night. The pastor announced that he had received into the Ebenezer in twenty-two months 318 members. This accounts for the thousands of dollars that have been raised in the church in the last few months. The deaconees board laid on the table $104 Sunday and the mite missionary was a close second, it raised $89. Mt. Zion Baptist Church. The Mt. Zion Baptist church had splendid services and a full house all day last Sunday, Aug. 4. A goodly number of the membership of the church were present at the 11 o'clock services and took part in the praise services. The Bible school was unusually interesting. Rev. Mr. Buck was present and gave a very interesting talk. Rev. E. H. Fletcher gave an address to the B. Y. P. U. at 6:45. At 8 o'clock the pastor preached on "Some of the Gifts of God" to a crowded house and administered the Lord's Supper. One accession to the church, a candidate for baptism.

The debate on last Tuesday evening, "Resolved that a woman has as much right to preach as a man," was decided in favor of Rev. Goddard, the affirmative. Mr. Scruggs represented the negative. Because of the unsatisfactory ending it was decided by the contestants to have the topic debated again on Tuesday evening, Aug. 13. The affirmative will be represented by Rev. Goddard and Mr. J. D. Smith, the negative by Mr. Scruggs and Mr. Bryson. The services Sunday are as follows: 3 p. m., Rev. Goddard; 8 p. m., Rev. J. G. Williams, pastor; Sunday school, 2 p. m. THE WEEK IN TOLEDO.

WITH THE HAWKEYES What the People Are Doing Throughout the State—Pertinent and Interesting by Special Correspondence. Burlington, Ia., August 9—Mrs. Peter King of 811 Foster street gave a musical at St. John's A. M. E. church last Monday evening for the benefit of the church. A very nice crowd attended. She was assisted by Prof. C. Glass of Des Moines, Ia., and the three Harper sisters of Ft. Madison, Ia—the Misses Anna, Naomi and Lenora Harper and Mrs. Harper. Instrumental and vocal selections were the features of the evening. Refreshments were served. Mrs. Florence Vinson of Chicago, 3575 Rose avenue, is visiting Mrs. John Trent. Mrs. Thomas Sander of Des Moines, Ia., is visiting Mrs. V. Leslie of 909 South Main street. Mr. John Trent will be in next week in time for the carnival. Mrs. Agnes Lamb of 502 Washington street is still visiting in St. Joseph, Mo. Mrs. William Palmer of 310 South plane street gave a six course dinner party for Prof. C. Glass and a few of her friends. Music and cards were enjoyed. Mrs. Clara Tucker of Chicago and Mrs. Jack May entertained Mrs. Tolor and a few other friends at 621 South Main street at cards. There were several musical selections and refreshments were served. Tillie McCain, a local colored woman, whom it will be remembered tried to commit suicide a few months ago, and who has lately been working for a North hill family, came into the police station recently and told Desk Sergeant John B. Hughes a story that sounds like a narration of black deeds of ages past, rather than a happening of local note in this day and age. The colored woman stated that she had been receiving threatening letters and that one of the last ones stated that she was going to receive a box of chocolates and not to "eat them, as they would be poisoned." The letter stated that they would be sent by a man named Smith. Smith, the accused, was in the police station with the woman and made a strenuous denial that he had written any letters or that he had sent the candy. The woman was much perturbed by the letters and when the candy was found in a box in front of her door she was naturally suspicious. She took the chocolates to a doctor who discovered upon a mere glance that the candy had been liberally sprinkled with strychnine. Mystery surrounds the action of the person who sent the poisoned candy to the woman, and as the warning in regard to the same was premature it is evident that there was no genuine desire on the part of the donor of the bonbons to have the same eaten. The matter will be investigated by the police and it is likely that they will be able to make at least a partial solution of the peculiar problem.

Tales of GOTHAM and other CITIES Cupid Halts Court While Lovers Wed Cupid Halts Court While Lovers Wed Fish Coal Out of the Susquehanna Fair Bathers and Big Rats Use Beach THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Tales of GOT other Expert Says Pies All WE SELL MORE PIE AS EVER Y UNDERSTAN' PIE 34 NEW YORK—Sol Robinski, who had taken Phil Breitenkopf's place at the Busy Bee's pie counter, while Phil was up in the catskills on his vacation, said he had never heard of Simple Simon and the pie man, so that he could not go back to the very beginning of the history of the pie industry. But Sol could glance backward from his Ann街 booth over a period of eleven and one-half years of service in the making, carving and serving of fresh pies, and it was his opinion that, take it the year round, winter and summer, and all the rest, pie was about the best seller in Ann street. Sol even went so far as to say that the pie eaters outnumbered the devotees of the ice cream cone and the hot/ waffles combined—that is among the office boy connotseurs of Ann street. Which was a flat contradiction of the startling news which throbbed over the wires the other day from Chicago, that the American people were losing their taste for ples. The head of a large Chicago ples factory; it appears, begged off from paying an increase in taxes' on the ground that ples eating was on the wane and business was not what it used to be. Ple, said he, had decreased in popularity with the masses, its place being usurped by such things as fruit, ice cream and salad. Ann street knocked that theory sky high. As luck would have it, the Chicago canard reached Ann street just as the rush hour for ples—ples and other things, of course, like those luscious CHICAGO—Gupid stole into Municipal Judge Dolan's court the other afternoon, became so noisy that he interrupted the proceedings for a full half hour and finally forced the court to give him precedence over all legal matters. The court room was warm and a trial had been dragging along throughout the day. There had been a constant buzzing noise in the rear of the room that was extremely discomcerting, but the court was unable to locate it. Finally there was heard a sharp smack such as Judge Dolan was sure he had heard somewhere before. The buzzing continued and the judge's eye finally rested on a couple on a bench in the rear of the room. They were casting loving glances and talking in animated tones and he watched them. Suddenly a hand slid over and surreptitiously squeezed another smaller hand. There was a furious blush, another loving glance and every evidence of another impending smack. The judge could stand it no longer and looked for his trusty bailiff. He was not in evidence. Then the court rose in his might and said: "You two in the back of the court room will have to stop talking. I can't hear the witness. If you want AW RAT3 PHILADELPHIA. — When coal is needed on a Pennsylvania farm bordering the Susquehanna river, little Johnnie does not grab his coal hod and scoot for the cellar. Instead he unfastens his boat, pulls out into the river and fishes till his hod is overflowing. To be sure, Johnnie doesn't fish with rod and line, nor with a net. His apparatus consists of a wire scoop, shaped like a shovel and not dissimilar to a minnow net, with an eight-foot handle. And his boat is a broad, flat-bottomed affair, sometimes with sharp bows, built like a scoop, with the maximum of capacity and the minimum of draught; for the coal fisher's catch is usually made in shallow water. And the catch is unlike any coal you ever saw. This run of the river coal comes in all sizes, from little fakes to chunks as big as your head. But mostly it is smaller than pea coal. Coal VANSTON, M.L.—Fair bathers and thousands of rats are contesting for the possession of the bathing beach between Dampster street and Greenwood boulevard. Thus far the honors are about even in the warfare which has been going on for nearby a week. The rats have been unable to prevent the bathers from invading the beach, and the bathers have been unable to frighten away the rats. Where all the rats came from is not known, but the fact remains that thousands of the redensis have burrowed into the sides of the bank along the beach, dug holes in the sand and sought refuge under the pliers. Many bathers, while walking along the beach; have suddenly stepped into holes which the rats have dug, and have filled with dismay when, with angry squel, large gray and brown rats have turned and snapped at them.

Sol Robinski said that the right and the only man to see about this here pie question was Phil Breitenkopf, than whom there was no higher pie authority in the whole city, or even in Coney island. "Phil's the boy that can talk to you about pie," explained Sol. "That fellow is a regular whatever' call genius when it comes to knowing what kind of a pie it is before he cuts it. How does he know it? How can I tell you? If I knew, wouldn't I do it myself?" Sol has a wide all-round experience in Ann street and they say he is the highest salaried man in the Busy Bee's employ, but in the matter of pie he is not the equal of his old tutor, Phil Breitenkopf. He has not the first-hand knowledge that Phil has, howbeit, in Phil's absence, he is, without question, the best pie counter man in all Ann street. So his words are not to be passed over lightly. "In hot weather, it is all pie, pie. pie. For three cents they get half a pie, and for two cents they get a glass of milk. Perhaps if they have more than five cents for lunch, yunderstand, they blow it in on root beer or ice cream co-en, but first they must have pie and milk." While he talked, Sol kept both hands working dising out plies. There were all kinds. As Sol said, there was fresh apel and huckleberry and custard and lemon merengk. All very fine. The boys would point to this kind or that, and Sol would bisect it with with our long white, balance the half of the blade and pass a bothome a bothome heads of the crowd, never once dropping the pie or missing the right customer. to spoon you will have to go outside. The court is no place for it." The hands slid apart and the man rose. "I beg your pardon, your honor," he said. "We come in here to get married and were waiting for you to get through with the case. We didn't come in here to spoon and we didn't mean to, but we just couldn't help it." The attorneys engaged in the trial, W. M. Cook and Benjamin Samuels, at once moved that court take a recess that the ceremony might be performed. The judge said that he would be only too happy to do so, and the principals at once retired to the judge's chambers, where Charles Hartung and Miss Sadie Katz, both of Chicago, were married, with the attorneys as wknesses. "Now that the case of Dan Cupul has been disposed of, we will resume the trial," said Judge Dolan, again taking his seat on the bench. from the mines is bright and shiny and all angles that reflect the light. River coal is neither angular nor thiny. Every piece of it is worn down,uffed, rounded off like a beach pebble, with an exterior as dull as ground glass. Ever since, men began delving for coal the operator has cast, aside as refuse thousands upon thousands of tons of good coal, fung it out on the culm heaps. What is his loss is the gain of the coal fishers in the river below. Into this stream, by way of its ceilers, the mountain brooks, coal is washed by the rains; which gnaw deep gullies in the faces of the culm banks. This "black sand" thus washed into the brooks turns them to ink. For, after all its years and miles of rolling, river coal comes eventually to rest on a sand shoal. The stony parts of the river bottom give it no lodging against the swift current, no place to tumbel itself. But in a sand bar it can bury itself like a clam. Particle after particle comes to rest, here, each adding to the size of the barrier, like coral insects building a coral reef by the deposit of their own bodies. Every fresh-wet sweeps down great layers of coal, depositing it either in some sandy bed or in the watery coal bin formed by a dam. exterminating vermin, stated that it was not an unusual thing for rats to take up their abode along the lake shores in summer. The hundreds of dead fish which are cast up by the waves, he said, attract the rats in large numbers. "The rats burrow in the sand, at the food of the banks, in large numbers," said Mr. Morgan. "Then, too, the hot weather may have something to do with the condition. The rats will swim out in the water in hot weather and will also make their homes in the wet sands along the edge of the water." The rats in many cases are extremely large and savage, and threaten to attack persons who disturb them.

ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF A STUDENT. The Real Work That Principal Booker T. Washington is Doing—The Cooperative Idea—Men and Women with Talent Are Encouraged—Many Earn Their Way Through School—Helpful Sunday Evening Talks—An Interesting Letter by The Defender's Own Correspondent. --- Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Aug. 3.-Just as one finishes at college and then pursues special studies in a university, so students after receiving a fair elementary training in both academic and manual work are turning their attention to special industrial training at Tuskegee Institute. In no calling is this special training in higher demand than in agriculture, and in no school, certainly no Negro school, are the facilities so ample to meet this demand as at Tuskegee. There is the laboratory with its appliances and apparatus suited to the experimental study of farming—to the study of seeds, seed germination, chemistry of soils, and the composition and importance of various kinds of fertilizer. The best Negro teachers available, teachers who understand the colored student and who can also grow the product, conduct these classes and experiments. On the other hand there is the farm with 2,400 acres of land, 1,000 of which is under cultivation, to test and apply the theories developed in the laboratory. This combination of theory and practice exists not only on the general farm but in the special branches of farming as well. Over all farming industries there is one man known as the director of agriculture. Under him there is a head for each division. Thus there is one man who instructs in, and has charge of pig raising—and he actually raises pigs. There is another who has charge of butter-making and the selling of milk, while actually making butter and supplying a market him. There is a third who gives injection in truck farming, while he is raising and handling products, 2,000 people about Tuskegee institute. It thus—happens that no student could take a course in agriculture and go away a mere theorist or a mere farm laborer. Rather he goes away with skill in all the various lines of his work. The Story of the Peach Crop. The story of this year's peach crop will illustrate in detail this system of agricultural training. In the orchard there are several students specializing in fruit growing. Of course they were taught in a practical way how to grow other fruit than peaches, but as peaches called for the biggest harvesting they will be taken. To begin with the school bought 1,000 peach shrubs and set them out on land that was good for little else, but excellent for peach growing. It taught the student how to set out a peach tree, how deep to dig, when to dynamite a hole and why, what vegetables could be grown in the young orchard and why, when the growing of any other product in the orchard should cease and why. At the same time there was a vast orchard over there bringing forth peaches. What was to be done here and why. There was smudging to be done if the weather was cold, there was the making of solutions for spraying the tree. Moreover there was spraying for different purposes and at different times of the year, each requiring a different solution. There was one kind of spraying for San Jose Scale, another kind for insects and still another kind for worms. All the theories of spraying peaches were learned and then applied right there on the trees. How to Market. Then came the peach harvest. Given a large peach crop, how shall the student save it? The first problem was that of labor. Persons were hired to pick by the ushel, but it was found that they raked anything off the tree fill up the measure. Thus they joined the harvest. Then these same persons were hired by the day, but an average number of bushels was determined upon and required of each picker. If a workman fell below the average for any length of time he was docked. It was found, too, that very small boys and girls can pick peaches, thus saving the heavy workmen for other tasks. Another problem they learned to handle was that of marketing. What will a man do when his products overrun the local markets? Break into other markets. How and at what gain? All this the young fruit grower learned this year by actually doing, for this was the situation that confronted the fruit growing division at Tuskegee Institute. Thus the student fruit-grower learned how to plant, harvest, pack and ship his fruit, meeting in a practical way every problem he would meet in actual life. The incident in the fruit growing division is typical as showing the kind of training the Negro agriculturist receives. He meets this same happy combination of theory and practice in farming, truck farming, market gardening, care and management of orchards and mules, dairy husbandry, swine raising, beef produce. tion and slaughtering, canning and veterinary science. What the Students Pay. To meet the demand for the student trained in agriculture Tuskegee Institute offered several alluring advantages. It will be noticed that in all cases the agricultural student must work, must do actual and profitable labor. For this work the Institute gave him certain advantages. In the first place all other students pay $10 entrance fee; the post-graduate agricultural student has this sum omitted. All other students pay $10 for board, part of which they may work out. The post-graduate agricultural student receives $15 for his work. Thus after his board is taken out he has $5 per month. In this way he receives his training and earns a small wage besides. That good positions await him (indeed there is laeousy arising that the agricultural student is getting overpaid) is shown by the positions held during the last few years by Tuskegee graduates in Agriculture. There are T. M. Campbell, Washington A. Tute, Crawford D. Meneefer and Harry Simms, farm demonstration agents for Uncle Sam; there are Walter S. Buchanan, Jesse E. Whitfield, Augustus Simms, Luther Van Hose, Rollin W. James, Dennis A. Starks, Christopher T. Evans, Grover C. Buchanan all principals of schools or heads of agricultural work because of their training in agriculture. Their salaries range from $50 to $100 per month the year round. JUDGE NEWCOMER'S DI LEMMA. Another Side in the Matrimonial Tangle of the Martins. "Fire to make, man leaves home." Under this caption we told the story of the Martin's matrimonial tangle in our issue of Saturday, July 27. Our statement in that issue was based upon information furnished by Mrs. Gertrude Crisp, known in this case as wife number two. Wednesday Mrs. Delia Martin, 2062 Wabash avenue, wife number one, furnished The Chicago Defender with data which shows that she was married to Mr. Charles J. Martin in St. Louis, July 19, 1904, and that she was divorced from him January 5, 1910. It has been published that there was no divorce secured but the records of the circuit court of Cook county show different. It is the record as No. 29215a. Mrs. Martin was remarried to Mr. Martin April 23, 1912. "From that time," says Mrs. Martin, "there has been a series of mistakes pertaining to this matter and I hope the public will now understand my position in the case." RECEPTION FOR MISS GALLOWAY Recent Graduate from the Chicago Musical College Feted by Friends —Miss Azala Martin Also Honored. Last Tuesday evening the home of Mrs. Geo. L. Cone/443 West: 56th street, was the scene of a brilliant array of musical and other talent. The occasion was a reception in honor of Miss Frances Galloway, who recently received a bachelor degree on the piano from the Chicago Musical College; Miss Pauline J. Lee, recent graduate of the American Conservatory of Music, and Miss Azala Martin, who has just received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Fisk University. A mere mention of the names of those who appeared on the program is sufficient evidence that the young ladies were honored by some of the very best talent in the musical world of America. Mr. Harrison Emanuel, on the violin, was accompanied by Mrs. Stella Bond Majors, whose work as an accompanist cannot be excelled. Mrs. Irene Howard Board rendered beautiful selections on the cornet. Miss Pauline Lee gave both a piano and vocal selection. Miss Azalia Martin read two original poems, "My Beau" and "Mystery." Miss Galloway rendered plano selections. Mr. Hugh Buchanan gave a French ballad. He was accompanied by Prof. B. Emanuel Johnson, who later gave a piano solo. Mrs. Lizzie Jones Lewis gave a humorous reading by request. Mr. Windus, of the Ba Hai movement, Rev. Nicholson and Dr. J. A. Lester, of the faculty of Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tenn., made some excellent remarks. Mrs. Cone deserves great credit for being able to surround herself by a coterie of persons of such brilliant literary and musical parts. NORTH SIDE NEWS Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Harrison, 1726 Nelson street, are remodeling their home by having it raised, making a basement and placing therein all modern improvements to the cost of about $2,000. The building will be completed about Oct. 1, 1912. Mr. Joe Gordon is still in the east with his people. The North Shore Men's club will be entertained at Mr. and Mrs. Ben Carter's, 240 Slegel street, Wednesday evening, Aug. 14. All were delighted to have Mr. Harry Nelson of 3434 Forest avenue to join the club. Mrs. Clara Dickinson, 1342 Wells street; Mrs. Chas. R. Scott, 1578 Wells street; and Mrs. Fred B. Lee, 810 Franklin street, returned Saturday from Hampton, Va., by the way of Washington, D. C. While there they were the guests of Mrs. L. C. Sims. What He Waa In For While mamma was preparing to entertain some guests at a recent convention, five-year-old Willie was especially annoying. Finally he was put to bed, and was there when the guests arrived. "Well, my little man, are you in for your little nap?" asked one of the men. "No, in for sassin," replied Willie. Only on the Surface There are many men in business who have no business in them.—Waldo Leo Baston. CROWNING OF THE CARNIVAL QUEEN Who Will Be the Queen?—A Spirited Contest On to Select the Most Popular Woman of Chicago, Who Will Be Crowned Queen of the Grand August Carnival and Negro Exposition. VOTE FOR YOUR CHOICE. The management of the Grand August Carnival and Negro Exposition, to be held on State street, from 31st street to 39th street, August 17-31, wants to know who is the most popular woman in Chicago. In order to decide this a voting contest has been arranged and to give stimulus to the idea a prize of $100 will be awarded the contestant and she will be crowned the queen of the carnival. The coupon appears exclusively in the Chicago Defender, and appeared first last week. Each and every coupon is a vote. There is no restriction so far as age is concerned, other than that the candidate must not be a child. The contestant must be a resident of Chicago and the home address of the party voted for must appear on every coupon. Vote early; vote often; $100 to the winner and the distinction of being crowned "Queen of the Most Elaborate and Gligant Amusement Enterprise Ever Attempted, in the City of Chicago." FROM EVANSTON. Gertrude Perry ..... 93 Margaret Young ..... 82 Kathryn Twiggs ..... 146 IS DEMAND FOR ORANGEWOOD Trees Sacrified for Building Sites in San Gabriel Valley in California. The sale of orangewood is a new and profitable industry, which is being developed by the owners of Michillinda tract in the San Gabriel valley. The wood is being cleaned from building sites in the subdivisions and it is being sold for $22 a cord. It is said to be used in the manufacture of manure implements. The orangewood harvest is something new in real estate tracts. Usually wherever an orange tree grows it is something to be cherished and protected, but at Michillinda there are whole groves and some of them must be sacrificed to allow space for building. Through a remarkable orchard system established by the former owners of the Michillinda site many of the choicest building lots now afford a selection of orange, lemon and tangerines. Thus the builder may establish his home in a grove of semitropical trees, where he may select his breakfast grapefruit or orange as it hanges on the trees outside his dining room window. Already the orangewood which has been sold from this suburb has neted more than $2,000 and this from trees cut for the drives and streets through the residential park—Los Angeles Express. The Supreme Test "Job was supposed to be a most patient man," remarked the Observer of Events and Things, "but we never heard of any one seeing him trying to get a lively eel off a fishhook."—Yonkers Statesman. $50.00 FOR "WEARY WILLIES" The Most Homely and the Most Ragged Man in Chicago to Be Voted For. The latest idea of the committee in charge of the Grand August Carnival and Fair, to be held on State street from August 17 to 31, is to find the most ragged and most homely man in Chicago. He will be selected by the votes will be 1 cent each will be on sale at the grove along State street. The carnival will close with the crowning of "Weary Willie," who will receive a cash prize of $50. The proceeds from the sale of these votes will be divided between the House of Good Shepherd and Provident Hospital. Don't forget to vote for that ragged and homely friend of yours. Vote early and often. The votes are only 1 cent apiece. City Churches—Religious News THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Frederick Douglas Center. Sunday afternoon, Aug. 11, at 4 p.m., Prof. R. T.

INAUGURATION OF IRON AGE Authorities Differ as to the Time and Place of Its First Introduction to the World. Some authorities incline to the view that the iron age was inaugurated in Asia or in Africa. The investigations of recent years have pointed to the conclusion that it was not worked in Egypt until the ninth century before Christ, or in Libya until 460 B. C.; that the Semite adopted its use still later, and that it has been known in Uganda only within the last five or six centuries. There are Chinese records of date about four centuries before Christ that mention iron. Bronze weapons were employed in China until about 700 A. D. It is thought that the metallurgy of iron must have originated in Central Europe, especially in Norlcum, which approximately represented modern Austria and Bavaria. Only at Hallstett and in Bosnia and Transylvania, from which countries the Achalans and Dorlans are supposed to have migrated to Hellas, are found evidences of a gradual introduction of iron, at first as an ornament applied to the bronze which it ultimately replaced. Everywhere else iron was introduced in no gradual fashion, a fact that implies a foreign origin. Meteoric iron was known in Egypt in remote antiquity, but no doubt it was worked as flints are worked, by cutting or chipping, and was not smelted. In other words, it was the metallurgy, not the knowledge of iron, that originated in Central Europe. Health and Cheer There is longevity in the sunny soul that eases our jolts and makes our sides shake with laughter. There is a wonderful medicinal effect in good cheer. Good news and glad tidings have a magic effect even upon invades. We often see a whole store or factory or home transformed by one sunny soul. On the other hand, we have seen them blighted and made dark by a gloomy, morose, fault-finding person. To Seal Envelopes Persons using bond paper envelopes in their correspondence, are often annoyed when these envelopes fall to seal properly. This is not due to a poor quality of gum on the envelope, but to the non-absorbent properties of the high-grade paper, and may be overcome by thoroughly moistening the flap on the outside before moistening the gum. This will insure perfect sealing and is worth trying. Improving Tobacco If you are a pipe smoker, try this: Place the core of an apple in your tobacco jar on top of your tobacco and you will be surprised at the improved flavor, it imparts to the tobacco, besides keeping it moist. Mistakes Will Happen. The greatest mistake we make is generally the owe we make often.— Waldo Leo Baston. --- DON'T BE CREATURE OF HABIT it is 'Better to Make Some Blunders Than to Oscillate Always in a Groove. It is a good plan to break one's habits occasionally, to see that it can still be done. To follow even the best of habits too closely tends to ossify existence. It makes one stiff. It narrows his tastes. The retired farmer who still gets up before daylight every morning, so as to get an early start waiting for bedtime, would be much better off if during the stress of life he had broken his habit occasionally and slept until nite o'clock. The city man who lets the street, the flat, the office grind become an unbearable habit loses all his elasticity. Recently a brother and sister were found in an eastern state who had lived on the same farm for sixty years, and during that time had not been ten miles from home. For thirty years the woman had not been to town, five miles away, and for 15 years, although well and strong, she had not been so far from the house as the branch in their bottom field. Habits of life like this become prison chains. One must do some things the same way or nearly the same to learn to do them well, but once having acquired the skill of repetition, it is well to break away and do it some other way. It is better to make some blunders and get some knocks experimenting than to oscillate in a groove until freedom ends.—Collier's Weekly. PAYING FOR HIS IMPATIENCE Next Time It Is Likely That Patrick Devlin Will Wait for the Jury's Decision. If Patrick Devlin of Lawrence, Mass., were not such an impatient man he would be free today. Instead he is locked up at the state farm, Bridgewater, for an indefinite period. Patrick was on trial at Salem before a jury, charged with drunkenness. All the evidence was in and the jury retried. After a while Patrick became fidgety. The longer the jury stayed out the more impatient he became. Finally he arose and said: "Your honor, I would like to change my plea from not guilty to guilty." The change was noted by the clerk. Suddenly the door opened and the jury trooped back into court. "What say you, Mr. Foreman and gentlemen of the jury, is the defendant guilty or not guilty?" asked the clerk. "Not guilty!" replied the foreman. Patrick was crestfallen. Having changed his plea, he had to take his medicine. Although the jury said that he was not drunk, Patrick said that he was drunk, and so the court decided that he ought to know better than the jury. Mysterious Cave Dwellers mysterious lives Owens. The sentiment that accompanies the common folk for the preservation of historical religion of the American Indians, who are far passing away or being merged into the civilization of a new century, is now being manifested in reference to the preservation of the cliff-dwelling Indians, whose history is as terrible and unrecorded as that of the lost tribes of Israel. Various theories have been propounded regarding the cliff dwellers. Legends have it that they are the descendants of Montezuma. The popular theory is that the Indians began by living in caves, the homes that nature had provided, and then, with the natural ingenuity of man, proceeded to excavate caves high up in the side of the cliffs, where they might be safeguarded from attacks and where their supremacy would go unchallenged. Americans know very little of the history of the cliff dwellers or of the place where they formerly lived. If the Indians know, they do not tell—Leslie's. All Were Once Slang If we had never allowed slang to legitimize itself in orthodox language where should we be today? A reference to old slang dictionaries gives the answer. Take Grose's, published at the end of the eighteenth century—the "Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue," by the first lexicographer who recognized the word "slang" itself. We find him classing under it such words as bay window, bedizened, bet, bluster, budget, brogue, capon, grouse, churl, coax, cobbler, cur, domineer, eyesore, flabby, flog, flout, foundling, fuss, gag mallinger, messmate, slump, saunter, sham, rascal, trip and yelp. Wait until next the anti-slang purist uses one of these words and then confound him by reference to Grose. Said No, But Was Nice About It. At a meeting of business men a discussion was started regarding a banker who has the reputation for hard bargaining, close stifness and invariably getting his pound of flesh. "Oh, well," said one man, "he isn't so bad." I went to him to get a loan of $5,000 and he treated me very courteously. "Did he lend you the money?" was asked. "No," was the reply, "he didn't. But he hesitated a minute before he refused." "Why doesn't that house of yours rent?" "For the same reason I myself don't do a lot of things." "What reason is that?" Tattooing In Parals. Until the last generation, tattooing was almost universal in Persia. Today it is rare among the upper classes, but is still affected by the lower classes. Women are tattooed not so much with a view to decoration as to avert the "evil eye", or to hide a blemish, or to cure a malady. Chance of a Lifetime! Chance of a Lifetime!
