He was the champion of the rights and privileges of the Negroes of this land; and the little we now enjoy of these rights came through the efforts of himself and men of his school of politics. CHRISTIAN RELI GION THE HOPE OF SLAVES "Mr. Washington represents the attitude of adjustment and conciliation. A Gospel of "Work and Money." "He is preaching a gospel of 'Work and Money.' He proposes to change conditions, not as Mr. Douglass did, through enforced legislative enactments, but by the skill of trade. Mr. Douglass' plan worked admirably until the Negroes began to 'learn' politics. Then their white competitors set about to disfranchise them. This they have accomplished in almost every southern state, even in Alabama where, we are told, Mr. Washington's school supplies such an excellent grade of tradesmen. Shall we expect the skilled Negro mechanic to meet with more merciful treatment at the hands of skilled white labor? The Rev. Father Massiah, Rector of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church, Takes Issue With Booker T. Washington—Does Not Believe the Mere Acquisition of Wealth as Important as Insistence on the Right of the Suffrage—Talks Broadly on So-called Race Problem. CAN NEVER ENJOY LIFE AS FREEMEN SHOULD. The Negro's Bank Account Not a Passport, Even in the North—Prejudice Does Not Die Away—Tuskegee the "Ark of the Covenant" and Mr. Washington as the "Moses"—United Labor a Mighty Factor in Politics—Compares Negro With the Thrifty Jews of Europe, Who Despite Wealth Are Not Considered a Part of the Social System. United Labor. Politics. "Already United Labor is becoming a mighty factor in politics; and with the Negro practically disfranchised in the south, and with a white competitor equally as good a workman as he, the chances are that as much discouragement is in store for the Negro skilled mechanic then, as is being experienced by the adept Negro politician now. "A mistake, I think, is being made all along the line. I have always thought it would have been better for the Negro if so much of his time had not been given, up to politics; but I also depreciate this industrial fad as being the crux of the Negro problem. I cannot refrain from deploring the failure of our race, in the north especially, to continue to agitate against the infringement of the constitutional rights of our people in the south. By J. Hockley Smiley. We attended divine worship last Sunday morning at St. Thomas church, and was well repaid for so doing; not only in listening to exceptionally good singing by a large choir of men and boys, but also to n discourse by the rector, which was inspiring. He began with the statement that race issues were very seldom discussed from his pulpit; and as the one topic of importance seemed to be over the meeting of the National Negro Business League, he would depart from his custom, and speak on the so-called Negro problem. "We should not cease to agitate even for the sake of trying the policy of conciliation, which is proving too plainly, even in the north, that bank accounts and property are not changing the black man's skin, nor the white man's spotted prejudice. Christian Religion Hope of Slaves. Among some of his wise utterances following "Rob me of my rights as a citizen and, no matter how the white people of this age may view it from their commercial elevation, I see too plainly that the Negro will never be considered actually a part of this great American people and be the equal of the white man, if he is to yield his claim to the rights of citizenship now, with the hope of regaining them as soon as he has become an industrial factor in the land. No matter how much property the Negro might own, in the south especially, their condition will be similar to that of the thrifty Jews of Europe, who are deprised and rejected there, because they are not considered a part of the social system, although they are mighty economic factors wherever they dwell. "It is bad logic, to say nothing of blasphemy, for any man of this race to advise his people to 'get more money and less money.' In their object ignorance and poverty, what was it that kept 9,000,000 of emancipated slaves so hopeful and cheerful, if not the Christian religion? With all the perplexing and contaminating influences since then, what has kept them together, if not the Christian church? No matter what the industrial advantages may be to the Negroes in the south, they can never enjoy life as freemen should enjoy it under conditions, which even the possession of property seems incapable of changing. Their manhood is throttled, they are denied the use of the ballot, they have no redress before the law for wrongs committed against them. No Power Without Ballot. Without the power of the ballot in the hands of the Negroes (in Alabama for instance) what protection is there for the accumulated wealth in buildings, etc., at the Tuskegee Institute? Should Mr. Washington's actions become unpleasant to his white neighbors this whole institution could be wiped out within a few hours, and there would be no redress for him before the law. Money Does Not Kill Prejudice. "I fear, too, much time is being devoted now to the idea of merely getting money, with the hope that with its acquisition all prejudice will die away. But I seriously question the correctness of this position. Tuskegee "The Ark of the Covenant." "The Institute at Tuskegee is held up to our view as 'The Ark of the Covenant' and Mr. Washington as the 'Moses' to lead us out of this wilderness of injustice. Have we not had a Moses in the late Frederick Douglass, and are we not in the wilderness still? Be it said, however, to the credit of Mr. Douglass that as a national character he never ceased to demand for his race every privilege which was theirs to enjoy under the "Some sacrifice must be made in order for the right of the franchise to be restored to our people in the south.

Ten thousand people jammed State and 36th street, where the crowning took place, and it is said that no coronation of an old world queen ever went off with more splendor. "Queen Hattie" with her small lady attendants rode in state upon a large elephant. The March of the Queen. The evening festivities began when the parade left Binga's bank about 9 o'clock, Carnival Manager Binga and Col. Marshall leading the procession. Mr. Binga drove the same attractive horse that he drove on the opening night. The Eighth Regiment band furnished the music. Then came the huge elephant carrying the queen and the four little girl attendants. The queen wore a magnificent gown of royal purple bespangled with brilliant jewels. The line of march was to 31st street and countermarch 36th street where the crowning took place. Col. Marshall Crowns Queen. When the parade reached the gayly bedecked stand the crowd was so dense that it was many minutes before the police could clear a way so the queen could mount her throne. The band played merrily and 10,000 souls sent up a mighty cheer as the queen of the first carnival held in Chicago took her seat. Rev. Robinson of St. Mark church made a short address and Mr. Blinga brought forth another round of cheers when he presented Miss Holiday with the carnival prize, a one hundred dollar bill. Handsome Crown and Scepter. Then came the formal crowning of the queen. In presenting the handsome crown and seperter Col. Marshall said: "In a contest characterized by spirited, but friendly rivalry, lasting for weeks, and in which thousands of votes were cast, you have been chosen to occupy the high place and wear the signal honor of 'Queen of the Carnival.'

I entreat that you deal with your subjects with kind and considerate judgment, permitting at no time sinister influence to swerve you from the path of justice tempered with mercy. You will during your reign have many conflicting interests to settle, and doubtless will be pressed with much powerful influence to favor some prince or lord, but I adjure you to be steadfast and immovable wherever and whenever those influences conflict with your written law and wise judgment. Only in the proportion as these principles are adhered to will your administration be successful, and in the proportion as they are disregarded will the throne toter and crumble to the earth. ! "Add now, as the one chosen to bestow upon your queenly brow this crown, and place in your mighty hand this scepter, which shall be your emblem of power, and to the huzzaz of thousands of your loyal subjects whose peons of joy are being sung at this hour throughout your vast empire, I crown you 'Queen of the Carnival' to reign until the proclamation of the House of Lords shall bring it to a glorious and brilliant end." Queen's visitation. Following this the queen and her suite visited the royal amusements. This trip was a valuable march of triumph, the huge crowd following her every step and every place visited was soon crowded to the door. At 10:30 p. m. the queen left the circus tired but happy and was whirled (Continued on page 7.) (Continued on page 7.) WITH THE HAWKEYES WITH THE HAWKEYES Burlington, Ia., Aug. 30—Mrs. F.

ENJOYS LIFE IN JAIL. Officer Who Shot Young Man, Who Later Died From the Wounds, Enjoys Special Privileges at Stanton Avenue Police Station. The interesting question as to just to what extent Detective Harry J. Bowker of the Stanton avenue police station is "held as a witness" confronted a reporter yesterday when he arrived at the station to investigate a report that Bowker had been jailed. The detective is accused of assault with intent to kill, his victim having been Lowery Everage, a 19-year-old colored boy who formerly lived at 3119 South Wabash avenue. Young Everage died during the afternoon at the Provident hospital of wounds inflicted by Bowker. Shoots Boy as He Flees. He Fires. Bowker had arrested Everage on Aug. 18 on a warrant charging assault with intent to do bodily injury. This is a misdemeanor. He had taken his prisoner to a police wagon when Everage broke away from him and ran. Bowker gave chase for two blocks and then got out his pistol. Everage still continued running and Bowker shot him through the chest. Edward H. Wright, an attorney with offices at 125 West Van Buren street, on Thursday applied to Judge Hopkins for a warrant for Bowker's arrest. He charges a policeman has no right to use a pistol on a prisoner trying to escape after committing a misdemeanor. Judge Hopkins asked for briefs on the law points involved. The matter was still under advisement when Everage died. Meanwhile it was given out at the Stanton avenue station that Bowker had been ordered "hold as a witness" by Acting Capt. Michael Crotty. The reporter called to see if the order had been carried out. Say Sleuth's In Jail. The station attaches said Bowker was in the jail in charge of the tunkey. He was to be kept there, said the desk sergeant, until the coroner's jury had acted in Everage's case. The reporter expressed a curiosity to see a policeman behind the bars of his own jail. This struck the desk sergeant as indicative of a cold heart. That functionary replied promptly that Bowker had made the request that no newspaper men be allowed to see him. The reporter went away from the jail and got Bowker's residence on the telephone. The 'phone was answered by Mrs. Bowker. "You can't see Mr. Bowker now," she said. "He's working nights." "Oh," said the reporter, "that's on account of his shooting that young Negro, isn't it?" "Yes." "Have they locked him up?" "Oh, no; he comes home every night," replied Mrs. Bowker. "If you have to see him, come around in the morning."—Chicago Tribune, Aug. 29. Does your first husband know you have married again? Yes. How do you know he does? Did you tell him? --- MISS ST.

"Is it necessary to send a girl to Paris?" asks a woman of the Chicago Examiner. "I want to know," she writes, "because I want my daughter to have a thorough musical education, and I am told it is the only place to get it. She has a sweet contralto voice, which our friends feel ought to be developed. They say the Chicago musical schools and methods of teaching are not thorough enough. Could you tell me if that is the case?" Regardless of what the young lady's friends say, it would be folly to send a young girl unchaperoned to Paris to get a musical education. In a recent interview Mrs. Fannie Bloomfield-Zeiler, who is probably the greatest living planist, and one of the most cultured and traveled, said: "I think it is time that American fathers and mothers were awakened by the women's clubs, the churches of the United States—yes, by the men's clubs, too—to the utter folly and sin that is being perpetrated every year in sending our nice, clean, honest like girls from this side, depending on their innate sense of propriety to wrestle with the most skillful鼌drels on earth in such malefroms of iniquity as Paris, Berlin, Munich, Vienna, Florence or any continental PRICE 5 CENTS 3, : . } THE CHICAGO DEFENDER a oan European city you wish to name tha’ boasts of a ‘Bohemia. “I wonder what the fathers and mothers who pay extravagant prices for instruction in Berlin, for instance, ‘would say if they knew, as I know, that half the teachers getting high prices In Germany are Americans from Nobraska, North Dakota or any other locality that doesn't sound artistic to the art bounder. = Teachers Are American. “1 know of scores of instances where teachers of musle in European capl- tals, drawing large fees, are men and women who had failed to attract the slightest attention on this side ‘of the Atlantic, Over there they hang out their shingles, run up their prices and vietimize the foolish Americans who are trying to educate their daughters th the foreign atmosphere of musical art, “Why should people send their sons and daughters to Berlin to take les- sons when We have In this country some of the best schools and greatest teachers in the world?

I made a journey through the South not long ago and took occasion to it spect the famous “Jim crow” car that adorns the transportation system oi the Southern states. ‘ At is usually the forward’ end of the first passenger car, placed next t the baggage car. The rear part is reserved for white smokers. A parti tion with a door In it separates the two compartments. Colored women to get to the only place on the train where they are al- lowed to ride are compelled to ap proach it and leave it throngh the smoking compartment hazy with dense fumes, the floors filthy with tobacco juice and spittle, her ears very likely marks, 1 saw one young colored woman, | with every appearance of modesty and refinement, exquisitely gowned, /pleking her way across a floor unfit for a pig stye, while men were saying ‘things not one of them would allow Ms sister to hear, edging her way to the lowly place to which she was con- demned by the hysterical race preju- dice and hatred of the dominant class, | What for? Because her skin was dark? [Not at all. tn one of the first-class coaches, among the white passengers, rode @ young Mexican woman whose skin was darker than the faces of any person that sat that day In the hideous “jim crow” car, What then? ‘Why, because sho rep- resented a people that had once been enslaved, and therefore symbolized ‘the lowest caste in society. She was not a foreigner; she was not African; she was not a “negress.” She was an American. But because she bore the ‘sign of a certain caste, the democracy loving Americans that fancied them- ‘selves to belong to a higher caste, put upon her every mark of her caste degradation, And there you have the whole thing In this one instance. It is not “race hatred," nor “natural antipathy” nor any other of the fancy names that have been applied to this thing. It is merely the essential snobbery and greasy caste instinct that raises itself by pulling some one else down. If there be any fact that palliates this abomination 1 should like to have it mentioned, for so far as 1 can.see fhe whole business puts an ineffable ‘stain upon the nation and utterly re- futes any pretense we may make or any fustian talk we may indulge in of democracy.

CHILD'S INNOCENT QUESTION Girl Wanted to Know If God Made the Man Who Wrote Bad Things Abdut Her Father. One side to the journaliste make-up of Willfam . Stead, the great English editor and author, whose ‘untimely and tragic end has’scored one of the blackest marks upon the page of the ‘Tifanie’s story, was his combativeness, when his interest in any cause had been wholly aroused. Like many an- other man Known for his warm and lasting friendships, he was at times capable of the bitterest attacks upon those opposed to what he held to be “world asset entries" (to use his own phrase), and at such moments he could set to type editorials which were as stinging as they were powerful. One such occasion, when he had Just founded and was directing his briotlived but influcntia) little weekly ‘War Against War, he had gotten after ‘certain Northampton member of the commons who had shown himself es- pecially recalcitrant in accepting some international arbitration proposal then before the lower chamber of parila: ment. ‘This was all in the course of the politicnl day's work to those con: versant wtih the Stead methods, but the small daughter of the gentleman attacked was not one of these. Hap- pening to find a copy of the, Journal on her father's desk, and reading with horrified eyes what, there was printed about him, she went to him with the question: “Daddy, did God make’ Mr. Stead?” : “Yes, of course, dear," was the reply. To which twelve-year-old made only the comment: “Well, it was a funny thing for him.to do.” A Study in Stilt Lite.

Tt was a pertect study in atiil life and visible from certait precincts of the senate floor. One of the punctilious senators on the Republican side view: ed the spectacle for a time and then summoned one of the young men of the corps of floor officials, “Those feet probably belong to one of the doorkeepers,” he sald, “Better tel him to remove them front the chair, but do ft as politely gs you can, as he may be one of our old e0l- dier employes. There is no need to hurt the feelings of the old chap.” Here is the note which a page handed to the offending doorkeeper a few moments later—after first waking himup: “Doorkeeper of the Blank Gallery: Dear Sir—It you are sleepy we will send up a bed; if you are sick we will send you home.

AB soon as the school year closed, Tommy was | off for parts unknown, and it would have interested his friends mightily it they could have seen him living Uke Robinson Crusoe on an island off the coast of Maine, catching bis own fish, setting b's own lobster pots, planting veg © sles in a tiny garden and making cupwder out of a handful of clams, two potatoes and an onfon. ‘That the result of the lastnamed recipe Was appetizing was proved by the fact that four people landing on the beach from a motor boat sniffed with appreciation. “K's a clambake,” sald the young: est of the crowd, a girl in a white serge sult with | short blue reefer. “Oh, I'm go glad, for I am starved.” Further progress showed a fire with a small fron pot set over the coals, A savory steam rose from the pot. “Rut there fen't much of It," sald the girl. “Who's been eating my soup?" quoted a gay voice, and around the corner of a sandhill came Tommy. “Oh,” sald the four Intruders, star- ing. And well, might they stare, for while Tommy ‘lived Ike Robinson Crusoe, he wore a snowy white middy blouse and white trousers, his fair hair was brushed up from his fore head and sone in the sunlight, and his strong young figure showed the effect of good training and outdoor sports. : “We don't mean to intrude," said the oldest lady of the crowd, “but we are exploring the islands; we didn't Know this one was inhabited.” “And there's something the matter with our boat,” sald the girl in the viue reefer, “and being women, we don't know how to fix it.” “Delighted,” sail poor Tommy. “But T hope you're not keen for chowder. There's only a taste. You see, I cook for one; but such as It 1s, t's’ yours.” He busied himself in serving the simple meal, And while he worked he listened. The girl's name, he dis covered, was Helena. ‘Tommy's blood .was blue; s0 blue that it had tuken great fortunes to live up to the famfly name, and poor Tommy was the last—with an ine heritanee only of a sense of humor and a signet ring, ‘The ring gave hkn away, for the girl glanced at it, as he filled a tittle blue bow! with chowder and passed it to her. . “Why,” she said, “Jean Dewitt has a ring like that!" “She's my cousin,” said ‘Tommny. ‘The others at olice became gra clous, The Dewitis were not to be ignored. “You enjoy living the simple life?" sald the oldest dame, whose name was Mrs. Griggs, ‘Tommy nodded. \"It's great,” he said. “If you will stay for supper wel have broiled fish and baked potatoes, and there’s some lettuce left in’ my garden.” “We'll stay." said the girl, “If you'll fix our boat.” All that afternoon Tommy tinkered and the girl watched him while the three’ elderly ladies took nap in the warm sand, ‘Then Tommy went out and caught @ fish, and broiled tt over the coals. “And ['m sorry to tell you, ladies,” he said,-as he served it, “that your doat isn't mended, and that you will have to make yourselves comfortable for the night, I’shall, be glad to offer you the hospitality of my"tent. In the ‘morning a boat stops here with provi- sions. You can leave on that." Since there was nothing else to be Mone, they consented, and after the fish was eaten Tommy and the girl walked down the beach. They talked of many things; and, Tommy lay awake half the night, wondering how he had Delleved that life was worth living until now. He slept on the other side of the sandhill from the tent, and waked at dawn. After a plunge in the sea, be went forth In his snowy white sult ‘to face the sunrise. ‘The gir] was up and came down to the beach to meet him in the stille mess of the wonderful morning. “The sea is lke a pearl,” she whispered, “and the sky like an opal.” ‘Tommy was | breathing quickly. “Look here,” he said. “The boat comes early, and| before it comes I've got something tp say to you—some- thing to say—to’you.” She smiled up at him frankly. “Look here,” he sald, again, “you're the most wonderful ‘thing ‘in the world. Yesterday I was ® boy trying to go through college and living any old way in the summer to help meet expenses. Today I'm a man, ready to fight life to the finish to—get you. “I haven't @ right to ask anything of you, but I've got to tell you this— that {f you don’t find the one man before I can comd to you and fight it out with the rest of them, that you won't compromise and take some other fellow just because you're tired of waiting for the| real thing.” ‘Thon because he “saw Mre.

Also that the floors and foun- dations in barns, stables and ware houses be constructed of the same ratproof material. It would certainly be a long step in the right direction n the work of ridding the country ot rats to do away with the conditions that harvor them and under which ‘thoy thrive and multiply In countless milifons. With this important work thoroughly and intelligently carried out, their complete "extermination would speedily follow.

One Night Only, at Oakland M Hall, Monday, September 2 (L Day Night)—Show. Begins Prom at 8:15 P. M.—Please Oblige Coming Early; Positively No D—Dancing from 10:45 to 1 A. Garfield Wilson's Full Orchest Admission 50 Cents. Friday, August 23. The last half of the week presented Fielding and Carlos in a splendid roller skating act. Carl Randall in a singing and dancing act is very good, but his voice was not with him; he left it home, 1 guess. Simms and Thompson's "Song Review" finished out a nice week, giving much pleasant entertainment. Marx and Lee, the "Ragtime Kids," were fair. Minnie Palmer's company in a skit, "Fun in Hl Skool," kept the house in an uproar. Splendid pictures finished the bill. MONDAY, AUGUST 26. The beginning of the week opened with Will and Kemp in some decidedly thrilling acrobatics; so thrilling, in fact, that a broken neck may be looked for at any moment. Back and Preston gave a nice song and dance turn. In the presentation of the Dalmar Girls, ten in number, Mr. Horace Bruce gave the Grand patrons a nice little musical act. Pretty costumes, and dancing made quite an interesting act. Murry K. Hill, billed as an eccentric comedian, is not only eccentric, but he is one of the cleverest talking comedians that ever bowed over the footlights of the Grand theater. His work is up-to-date and given with a vim. The Grand Minstrels, consisting of nine people, gave a dandy little first part minstrel show. These performers were seen last week in the sketch, "A Song Review," and the present week presents them again in an after-piece which is given in such a manner that nothing but praise is due. Clarence Bowen is splendidly singing "Dearest Memories," Joe Simms as funny man (or, to be more polite, "end man") is a scream, and in Mr. Foster he has a worthy partner. Mr. Thompson looks the part of an interlocutor but loses his dignity when he essays funny stunts with the comedians. His work is good but he must keep within his own sphere; two comedians are enough in so small an aggregation. Misses Burch, Brown and Johnson are nightly in their popular ragtime songs and add much towards entertaining the public. "William Teli," as played by the Grand orchestra, was finely interpreted and it is indeed most gratifying to note that the patrons are beginning to appreciate the chastic music rendered by this very competent orchestra. THE MONOGRAM. A very pretty woman and a very good singer is Miss Kathryn Berry, and it is to be hoped before she has appeared many times more at the Monogram the patrons will give her greater applause, because she is deserving. The "Too Sweets" are all right but their act is nothing out of the ordinary. Murphy and Walker do a fairly good turn in talking, then they make a big hit dancing. Keep it up, boys, nothing was ever gained worth the while that did not come through hard and persistent labor. The Griffin Sisters are in their second week and are just as popular. They look sunning in their stage costumes and, by the way, they are well supplied with these necessary adjuncts. The Monogram is showing an excellent line of pictures. Got Back at the Judge "A celebrated engineer, being examined at a trial where both the judge and counsel tried in vain to browbeat him, made use in his evidence of the expression, "the creative power of a mechanic," on which the judge rather tartly asked him what he meant by "the creative power of a mechanic." "Why, my lord," said the engineer, "I mean that power which enables a man to convert a goat's tail into a judge's wig." Unwelcome Visitor A pair of large eagles which are nesting on an inaccessible rock on the Daserberg mountain canton of Schwatz, Bavaria, have during the past two weeks "captured" four lambs, four kids, and one fox, which they have taken up to their nest before the eyes of the peasants.

Mrs. Durand—Any pilot can safely guide a ship when danger is at hand; but when danger threatens our castle, there is but one pilot who can guide her to safety. Scene 2. Prologue. Mrs. Durand—You love me now because of the position in which I am placed; but tomorrow you will spurn me! No! I will not join your enterance. Scene 3. Prologue Captain Durand—Come, Thaddeus, lead whilst Nature is all aglow. I am weary, fast sinking beneath her blow. Scene 1, Act 1. Thaddeus—Why, in my eyes the United States was a beacon light to greatness, a magnet, as it were; a laid of golden chances and opportunities to all men. Scene 3, Act 1. Abe Jones—If the anticipation of a crime were as abhorrent as its accomplishment, how different our lives would be. Scene 3. Act 1. : Virginia—If knowledge were misleading and caused unhappiness and discontent, why should mankind seek it? I am sure no one would be unhappy by his own choice. Scene 1, Act 2. Thaddeus—Rudolph, I do not ask for any more in this world than what I would give; and that is, to give a man a man's chance. Scene 3, Act 2. Virginia—He seems a messenger of happiness. . . Im I to be happy and yet unhappy? Scene 1, Act 3. Virginia—Then the misfortune of being a woman keeps one from having the confidence of man? Thaddeus—No; not in all cases; but the best partner to a secret is the one holding it. Scene 3, Act 3, Finale. Thaddeus—As ye sow, so shall ye reap; and my father is avenged. MATINEE DANCE. The Entre Nous Boys Entertain Visitors at Ogden Park—Bowman's Delightful Music. The Entre Nous boys are "so different," their summer entertainment of Saturday afternoon last in Ogden Park was one of the most unique affairs ever given in Chicago. The guest of the members were entertained royally. The dance was on from 5 to 10 p. m. Prof. Borman's celebrated orchestra dispensed some class music. The club has existed nearly a year, its success and progress are due to the strict adherence to the meaning of its name and its object—"among ourselves and congenial couples." The officers are P. N. King, president; F. V. Henderson, vice-president; S. F. Harris, secretary-treasurer. The executive committee is composed of the officers and the following members: S. A. Morrison, Eugene Renfrae, E. M. Ware, Robt. Fisher. Its fartherest away guest was Mrs. Sidney Arnett of Monrovia, Africa, and some others were Mrs. Luella Lee of New York city, Misses Thompson and Fleming, Mrs. Jessie Neil and Prof. Dysen of Washington, D. C., Mrs. Sleet of St. Paul, Mrs. Chenny of St. Louis, Miss W. Walker, P. Artis and Mrs. Elwood Knox of Apolis, Mrs. P. A. White, C. A. Steward, L. Dora Maxwell and M. Bryant of Louisville, Miss Grayson and Prof. Green of Wilberforce, and many other strangers. Novel Boudoir Clock. Among curious clock novelists is the shadow bouder clock. With it there is no need of getting up to strike a light or turn on the bulb. All that is necessary is to touch a button and the time is flashed on the wall, after the same fashion that signs are flashed on the sidewalk. When the owner of the clock retires he turns a night dial to the ceiling and when he presses a bulb the electric light reflects from the dial through the lens and appears, giving the correct time in shadow on the ceiling. Imagination'e Limitations: "If an actor imagines that he is a fat man he will appear fat to the spectators," a leading tragedian tells us. It may be so, but we have seen an actor who imagines he was a good actor and did not appear so to the spectators. MISS VERA WES- LEY'S MUSICALE Entertains at Home for Visiting Friends—Fine Program Rendered. Miss Vera Wesley entertained on Monday evening, with a musicale at her residence on Vernon avenue.

Peacock peck, which figured at the Elizabethan banquet held to celebrate Midsummer day, is not a delicacy likely to tempt all epicures. Still, most of us would rather eat peacock than come to the other birds consumed by our forestallers in the thirteenth century the heron, in the thirteenth century the stork, the cormorant and the bern were considered excellent for the table. Yet the hare and the partridge were despised as food, and neither was ever served in the houses of the wealthy.-London Chronicle. Preposterous. She took her father's last summer suit, cut off one of the legs of the trousers, and thus provided herself with a skirt. From a worn-out linen handkerchief she secured enough material for the waist she desired. Then she found an old bath towel and converted it into a hat for herself. Yet the young man who loved her was warned by his mother that the girl did not have proper ideas of economy. Should He? During a discussion of the fitness of things in general some one asked: "If a young man takes his best girl to the grand opera, spends $5 on a supper after the performance, and then takes her home in a taxicab, should he kiss her good night? An old bachelor who was present growled, "I don't think she ought to expect it. Seems to me he has done enough for her."—Lipincott's. Saving the Babies In England and some other countries great progress has been made in recent years in the prevention of infant mortality. In this country an association has been formed, known as the American Association for the Study and Prevention of Infant Mortality. The object of this society is to coordinate all the sanitary agencies for the express purpose of reducing the number of preventable deaths of babies. Good Qualities. He alone is worthy of respect who knows what is of use to himself and others, and who labors to control his self-will. Each man has his own fortune in his hands; as the artist has a piece of rude matter, which he is to fashion to a certain shape. But the art of living rightly is like all arts; the capacity alone is born with us; it must be learned, and practiced with fcessant care. Arsenic From Many Sources. Arsenic has been found as a normal constituent in man and animals and now Jadin and Astrug, two French biologists, show that it may be derived from edible plants and fruits. They examined 39 vegetable substances, and obtained arsenic from all, the quantities ranging from 0.03 part per million in the leek to 0.25 part per million in almonds and beans. Never Too Late to Learn In his seventy-fifth year Mr. J. H. Robinson, a retired cotton worker of Preston, Lancashire, England, has passed in elementary French at evening classes. He took up the study on his retirement 18 months ago and never missed a class or been late since. His home work was highly commended. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER WARFARE THAT ENDED MOST UNEXPECTEDLY WARFARE THAT ENDED MOST UNEXPECTEDLY By GEORGE F. STAAT. "Eggs again?" It was a query, an accusation and a protest. "Yep," said Tommy Thomas. "Why not? There's more nourishment in a soft-bolled—" "Feather bed," interrupted his chum. "Truth is, you're too lazy to cook anything else." "Oooh, you tell whops! And what, Mr. Simian Wellington, did YOU cook last week?" Simeon was obliged to take the defensive. "Aw, but I didn't plain-boll and plain-boll till the hens came home. I served those eggs in eight different ways, and you know it." "Yaas, and with the shells every time. Fact is, Sim, I'm tired of pot-wreslini. I'll run you a race to the postoffice and back to see who cooks for a month." "Nay, son. Not being blessed with drumsticks like yours, I'll have to decline your glittering offer. But I'll be sportier than that." He picked up an egg, held it to the light, listened at each and mysteriously, and then rejected it. He took up another egg and did the same. After diagnosing the third, his face lighted with joy. "A very strong egg, Tommy. A perfect type, of the Roman aron. Now, sr, I can fix this egg so you cannot break it with an iron implement—er, that stove-lid, we'll say." "Just try me." "If you do, I'll cook for a month. If you don't I'm to have riz biscuits and hot rolled oats for a month." "I weep for a poor orphan like you, Sim, but—turn on the blizzard." Welling took his chosen egg—it was a small one—and stood it in a corner of the room. It was an ancient trick, almost as old as the Columbus stunt, and Tommy knew he could not hope to break the egg in that position with the circular weapon. But he betrayed no chargin. He calmly picked up a poker as well as the stove-lid, and proceeded to pry away the partitions forming the corner. "I say," began Sim, fearsome for the landlady's bill. Then a brilliant idea bumped him. Pilfish! A moist, warm, soft-boiled egg struck Tommy on his pet cowkick and the effuvium began to cascade into his collar, thence to the back of his vest. And the battle was on. Tommy jumped to the table and commandeered the plate of cooked eggs. Sim riffed the cupboard of the half-bagful of raw ones. Only a baseball reporter could adequately deal with the doings of those eggs thereafter. Presently Sim retreated—or Tommy thought he did. He ran downstairs pursued by a "Yah, squealer, come again!" from the apparent victor. On the first floor was a grocer's shop. A sign read: "Gimme two dozen eggs," crled Sim. "Charge it to Mr. Thomas, as usual." Ustairs he galloped and began a fusillade from the doorway. Poor Tommy dodged behind the bed. Sim entered and pursued him from his hiding place, punctuating his howls with fresh ranch eggs. Tommy now fled, but grabbed the door key as he ran. Sim understood. Tommy was coming back with ammunition. He moved bed, oil stove and table against the door. He was in the act of uprooting the stationary wash basin when a balmy, squashy, not-quite-su-garanteed ranch egg hit him in the bridge of his nose. It had come over the transom. The next one decorated his shirt front. The third missed him and broke the mirror. Eggs now came thick and fast, two whole dozen, at 35 cents per, pursuing him to the fire escape. With simian agility he made his way down to that corner grocery and asked for more eggs. But Sim was in too big a hurry to explain. He gathered up all the eggs left in the crate, put them into a huge paper bag and with a "Charge 'em to Mr. Thomas," bounded up those stairs again. Tommy was nowhere in sight. The barricade had been pushed in. "But I'll get the rascal," muttered Nemesis-of-the-Ova. "He's gone after more egga. Score one point for me." He shut the window to prevent a rear attack, then threw up fortifications in front of the open door. Steps, soft steps, ascending the stair! A head looming from the semidarkness, looking inquiringly into the room. Whizz! Pfosh! An egg cleaving the air and finding its mark. "Got ye, did I?" yelled Sim, triumphantly, emerging from the ramp with another egg ready for the throw. "Have another?" A scream. Feminine. Not the landlady's, either. The too-eager egg stiffed the scream. "Sim Wellington, you nasty, good-for-nothing wretch!" The victim was sputtering eggshells with every syllable. "I called to tell you your aunt—but I won't." And the girl—young, pretty and all that—flounced down the stairs. It was Sim's sweetheart. But Sim didn't feel like calling her back. "Polly!" gasped the gallant warrior in awe. "And aunt of the money bags probably coming to see me this very day!" Thought He Had Qualified Merchant—"Aren't you the boy who was in here a week ago?" Applicant—"Yes, sir." Merchant—"I thought so. And didn't tell you then that I wanted an older boy?" Applicant—"Yes, sir; that's why I'm here now."—Boston Transcript. Mightler Than Armles Ideas go booming through the world louder than cannon.

Howells, at a luncheon at Kitty Point, said to a certain popular novelist: "There is about as much poetry in him as there is in McMasters. McMasters, you know, was walking with a beautiful girl in a wild New England wood. What is your favorite flower, Mr. McMasters? the girl asked softly. McMasters thought a moment, then cleared his throat and answered: "Well, I believe I like the whole-wheat beat." Only One More Senator La Follette, at a luncheon in Madison, listened to a rather weary smile to a magazine writer's exposure of the shameful means whereby a certain capitalist had amassed his fortune. "Oh, well," said the senator, "this is only another case of a profit without honor." Man Really Useful For certain equable, continuous modes of life, there is nothing more than judgment necessary, and we study to attain nothing more; so we become unable to discern what extraordinary services each vulgar day requires of us; or, if we do discern them, we find abundance of excuses for not doing them. A judicious man is valuable to himself, but of little value for the general whole. -Goethe.

Leaguers Sunday at Schorling's park, the score being 7-0. Bert Keeley started the game for the Leaguers and for five innings the ex-major league star sailed along without having any difficulty when Mr. Barbour took it upon himself to treat the gent to a three base hit. After that the fielders played back against the fence when he came to bat. Lindsay's sacrifice fly brought Barbour home with the first tally. In the visitors' second Johnson got in trouble. With a man on third Munroe dug the ball out of the real estate and made a peg to Pierce at the plate, nailing the runner, while the crowd went wild. Again in the sixth Johnson was pitching excellent ball when Munroe picked up a slow roller, tossed it to Rube, and it got away from the heavy gent, rolling to the stand, while the runner went to third. Then with one gone Hutton hit a line drive to wicket him high seemed a sure hit, but the plucky shortstop leaped in the air, stabbed it and shot it to Taylor at third for a double so quick that few realized what had happened and many whispered, "Who made the third out come in?" In our half of the seventh Taylor was on Hutton's fumble of a poor throw, went to third when Rycraft threw the ball out in the center garden trying to catch him at second. The return throw went almost to the stand, yet Taylor was held at third. Keeley got up a tree and threw the ball wild, allowing Taylor to score. Pelre out on a close play. Payne let Keeley stick three and two over, then he poked a hot one to left field for a double, taking third while the fielders were wide. What did he do? Ball. Munroe brought him home with a single over second but was caught off first. Rube hit to short, the ball and Foster got to first at the same time, the throw pulled Hutton's foot off the bag, but the umpire couldn't see it or didn't. --- Rubo was a bit peeved.

ECHOES OF PROVIDENT HOSPITAL'S BENEFIT The Daily Press Asserts Jack Johnson Is Not There in a Foot Race—Society Claims This Event as Its Own—A Neat Sum Realized, and Everybody Happy. By Julius N. Avendorph. Whenever a benefit is announced we feel, from long experience, that we are called upon to part with our money to see some amateur affair, and sit through it with a bored look on our faces wishing it were over. Not so with the affairs given by Alfred Anderson for the benefit of Provident hospital. The finest talent that can be procured not only in this city but in the country is none too good to present on these occasions. And such a galaxy of artists as appeared last Thursday—a week ago—has never been seen in Chicago before, and all for the nominal price of fifty cents. The crowd went wild when Julius N. Avenordh, whose reputation for handling big affairs is national, presented the world's champion, Jack Johnson. Now Jack's reputation does not lie along the line of, foot races, but he was game enough to challenge Monroe of the American Giants. When Jack finally did show up Monroe had been sitting on the bench seemingly half an hour. Caldwell and French, however, did some fast work along that line. The tests of strength by illa Vincent were a revelation and his wrestling proved him still more wonderful. Marty Cutier and Joe Levy, from the time they stepped on the mat, had the attention of everybody and cheer after cheer went up at their cleverness. The American Giants and the Gun thems played excellent ball, as usual and everybody went away happy. It was an affair long to be remembered. Let us have more of them. Some people never make a stand so long as they can run. WELCOME TO OUR CARNIVAL. DELEGATES AND FRIENDS "With Malice to None, With Charity to All." ROBERT S. ABDOTT MONTROSE RANHIN JESSE BINGA, Mgr.

He shouldered it and started for market, which was some five miles away. Now of course, the longer he walked the heavier the deer got, and by the time he reached the deer market he was about all in. He hung the deer on the scales and stood looking at it with wonder. Finally he said to the man: "Ugh! Let him hang a while."

The Fool's Guardian Labeling Foods. A. Missouri Purlet New Patent of Merlit LORNA MAKES HAY TYRANNY OF HER WHILE SUN SHINES DAUGHTER-IN-LAW THE CHICAGO DEFENDER By DOROTHY, DOUGLAS. Lorna gazed blankly at the big ship that was making its way ponderously out to sea. She was stunned with the sudden knowledge that her husband was glad to be leaving her. They had been married a scant year, and through all those months Lorna had fought against the hints, from kindly neighbors, that her husband had married her out of plque. But Lorna had believed in her happiness until the moment the ship had pulled away from the wharf with her husband on board. Then, she had looked up suddenly at him as he leaned over the bulwark and was surprised to see an expression of relief, as from a released burden, in his eyes. She had taken the blow like a little soldier, with smiling lips and a happy waving of farewells. When the boat was well out in the bay the hand that held her handkerchief swept across her eyes and she stood for a moment in blank misery. After that she braced her shoulders and went home. She knew, first of all, that she had come upon a blank wall in the path of her life. "I am married to a man who does not love mo." she told herself with a peculiar sense of aloofness stealing over her. So, with her fighting blood aroused and her pride hurt, Lorna probed deep into the heart of things in order to discover the lack, for she knew the lack was in herself. "I will make hay while the sun shines," she smiled at her own extravagance. As Lorna descended the stairs the big living room struck her as being dull and toneless. This, too, was her fault. "I will also make over the room." She laughed quite like the old Lorna who had not known David Brooks. "I will buy yards and yards of cretonne with big pink roses in it, and when David comes home he will think the garden has walked into the house." When Lorna first beheld herself in her new raiment she blushed at her own extravagant beauty. Her hair was fluffed as if from a lover's caresses, and her eyes were aglow. "But David will not know me," she reminded herself. Even in her new view of life Lorna was not without her moments of blankness. David could not stamp the memory of Beth Cornish from his heart? Could it be possible that the gossip she had heard was not true—that merely her own carelessness had made David indifferent. Fortunately the morbid thoughts were short lived. As the weeks passed swiftly, Lorna realized that she was indeed improving the hours. "Perhaps, after all," she reasoned, "it is good for us to come against blank walls in our paths. I might never have known that the biggest things in life were passing me by—perhaps I was really contented with only half of David's love." So in the end Lorna came to look upon her cross as a blessing. She seemed to have made new friends; she seemed to hold them firmly at her side. She gave one or two dinner parties and found herself branching out in many directions. Lorna had not ceased to love her husband, but she began to feel independently strong. When the letter came which mentioned the day of her husband's arrival, Lorna dank down into her big chair and trapped her. After all, no that he was coming, she felt strongly weak. There was so much at stake. She knew that she could never again be happy with half his love. She had struggled for the whole and she must have it. She did not go down to the wharf, but waited for him at home. Lorna had dressed with unusual care. Her gown of trally blue and her little blue slippers peeping from beneath were only the setting for her exquisite beauty. She knew that she was looking well, and the knowledge lent a certain proud carriage to her figure. David saw her through the French windows before he entered the house. He caught his breath and was conscious of a thrill. Whether it was from surprise or longing he knew not. But certain it was that he quickened his step and took her into his arms with an emotion for which he had not bargained. left him breathless and a triffle confused. "Lorna," he said, and stopped. "What is it, David?" she asked with a little unsteady laugh. She looked up at him and the glow in her eyes left him dazed. "You are not the same Lorna—whom I left—I hardly feel that you are really mine—" "But I am, Davy boy." She smiled, because she knew that she had won. His arms held her in a way that made her knowledge certain. "I have made the house over, though. See!" She turned and swept in the changed surroundings. David looked over her head, but did not release her. "Lorna!" he put a firm hand under her chin. "Lorna—little wife—look at me. Did you—did you think all this was necessary to—to make me love you?" She looked up for one fleeting glance, then her head went down on his shoulder. David's arms closed about her and drew her near to him. He was silent a long moment, and when he spoke his voice was not quite steady. "I love you, dear," he said simply. "I have always loved you." Lorna smiled up at him. "That is all I want."

"If you'll promise not to tell a soul, Charlotte," said Mrs. Darlington to her hostess, "I'll admit that I'm suffering from an overdose of daughter-in-law. A certain amount is a mental stimulus — too much simply stultifies. "Frances, my son Arthur's wife, came to visit me just at the time all well regulate housekeepers think they have to go through the deadening process known as housecleaning," she went on. "Now, don't breathe it to a soul, but I never clean house. I certainly try to keep things nice and comfortable, but my natural instinct is to avoid dirt. My attitude is that if it will leave me alone I will leave it alone. "Who minds a little dust under the beds and in the closets? I will answer my own conundrum by telling you that Frances does. She is perfectly intolerant about it. She is constantly talking about germs and microbes. Since I am confessing all my shortcomings, I will admit that I don't believe in microbes, anyway. They're far too small. Frances does, though. Oh, dear, yes, she does. "She simply can't sit down and read happily unless the house has been thoroughly swept and garnished. I can do it without a tremor. I can leave dishes unwashed until every dish in the house has been used and not feel a qualm. Frances has the dishes rounded up and washed so quickly after they have been used that she leaves you with a defrauded- feeling, as though you had been done out of part of your meal. "The morning after she came I saw her eying the living room curtains, which I must confess were not immaculate. "Don't look at those curtains, Frances," I said, in my merry, light-hearted way. "I know they're not very clean, but I'm going to have the laundress wash and iron them Monday." "Frances half opened her mouth, then shut it again. I wondered at the time why she didn't say whatever it was she had on her mind, but later in the day I found out. "Mother," she said, tactfully—Francis is, very tactful—that afternoon when we were sitting in the living room having what I considered a cozy little chat. I've been wondering if it wouldn't be nicer if we should get some curtain stretches and stretch the curtains on them instead of having the laundress wash and iron them." "To make a long story short, she dragged me downtown that very after, noon and we bought curtain stretchers. The next morning, with her own hands, she washed those curtains, Oh, there is no doubt that she is wonderful. I stand in the greatest awe of any one who can wash things clean. I never could. They're always much worse when I finish with them than when I began. "After the curtains were arranged to suit her I happened to mention that I had some material which I intended to make into comforters when the split moved me. Again speaking metaphorically, she fell upon that material tooth and nail. Then for days she and I struggled and perspired amid billows of cotton. "When one morning she accidentally opened the door of the chamber of horrors I thought she was going to falt. The chamber of horrors, by the way, is the room into which it is the time honored custom of the family to pitch everything that the family wishes to rid itself of. Personally, I get along very nicely by simply shupping my eyes, opening the door slightly and shying in the article. Then after the door is shut I have no further qualms. But Frances got quite white when she looked in. She made me feel—she did it tactfully—that no decent, self-respecting woman could exist in a house with a chamber of horrors. So together we pulled and hauled and worked and suffered and threw things away and had a perfectly horrible time generally, but we finely emerged in that pathetic and despicable condition called "as neat as a pin." "It took us days to do it and we were both nearly dead when we got through. But the very next morning after we finished, if you can believe me, I found her with her head out of the window and the air of a hound that is just getting the scent. She was listening to a vacuum cleaner that was chugging across the street!" "Oh, mother," she said, "I'm going out to see if those men can't come to tomorrow." "Frances," I said, 'you will do nothing of the kind.' I positively refuse to be any cleaner than I am. From now to the end of your visit I intend to have my kind of a good time even if there isn't a floor swept or a dish washed." "I did it," said Mrs. Darlington, gloatingly, "I kept Frances whirling in a perfect vortex of matinees and luncheons and afternoon teas and I had a beautiful time. But I relented the day before she went away and let her clean up the house for me. "Frances is a dear girl". Mrs. Darlington declared finally, "but she certainly has a weird idea of having a good time!" Chicago Dally News. Deserted! One member of the motor car party was very tired. He did not alight at the last two or three controls and presently was dead to the world. When he woke up he found himself on the back seat alone and with a red lamb glaring at him fiercely.

BUSINESS MEN PRAISE JESSE BINGA. Carnival and Fair Called Laudable and Creditable, Enterprise—A Great “, Help to the Race. By Henry Mitchell. From 1779, the year that Chicago was first settled by Point De Sable, a Negro, up to and including this year, the Negro has been an uncer- tain quantity and of uncertain quality in Chicago's life. It involved upon a few live men of the race that inter- ested themselves in a project to show to the industrial and commercfal In- terests of this city that they could and would do something to fully demon- strate the Negro's character and worth. Thus the first Colored Busi- ness Men's Fair and Carnival was ini- tiated and successfully promoted and closed. In looking around for a leader, the men who had associated themselves together selected the person of Mr. Jesse Binga, banker and broker, as the proper person to accomplish such an undertaking. He, recognizing that something must be done now, if ever, gladly. accepted and. went “into the Zenterprise without thought of work or FeWALU woes eons oe \ ae za hae ee He took charge of the “Ship of Hope” and by might and main has at tast landed her in the harbor of suc- cess. The passengers, the citizens of Chicago, stood along the shore and heard the talk of pirate who plotted to destroy and sink the ship, and won- dered it she would ever reach shore hut they saw In Binge a towering light house and hfs assistants the beacons who would it they dared land the “Ship of Hope” without a Jar. Now that shi is in port, may we not ask ourselves, “with what cargo 1s she Jaden?” First, I see at the tov mast that flag’ waving to the breeze and in- seribed “In Union ‘There is Strength” and on deck and in hold there is plenty, and no embargo has been placed upon the laborers that might unload, for the load 1s “Brotherly Love and Charity to All.” ‘The ship left port under a strong wind on the 17th of this month and started with laughter and song. She weathered the storm and they pas- sengers all speak loud in her praise. The earnival in itself might have had fun and pleasures but when we ston and ponder over the possible future and the essential and necessary things for our people that will be de- rived from this carnival, we will be glad that it was promoted. ‘The property owners along ‘State atrect for several miles hiave not im- proved thelr holdings for years, and when we take in consideration’ that the occupancy of the same, both stores and flats, is controlled by the race, we will stop and ask “Are we receiving value in return for moneys expended?” There are at least 120, 000 colored people in Chicago and if it can be shown that we are entitled to the best, those that arc interested will take notice and act in our behalf. Men of all nationalities try to do something to promote themselves in the business field and to properly do go they must show that they ard cap- able of acting and doing. Many letters and comments have been received and made upon the carnival just closed, and it is gratity- ing to those who took part to know that at least they have done some- thing, ‘The carnival in a measure has dem- onstrated that the race stands equal to any in its morals and deportment. Not a pocket was picked in the street during the two weeks; in f° —“!mo dis- turbanee of any kind to ma ‘he fes- tivities. ‘The entertainments re of a high class, the booths alo.g the street were nothing to cause a biush of shame. ‘The attendance during the two weeks Was large and everything ended well. ‘The visitors and business men of the city are high in thelr praise, Comments from Townsmen and Visitors. Mr. J. H. Washington, a brother of Booker T. Washington, said: “I have been all over this land, and I can truthfully say that the people of Chi: cago are far ahead of our people any- where. I wish all success to this carnival and its promoters.” Mr. J. H. Lewis, retired tailor of Boston, Mass.: “Tell my people in Chicago to keep it up. I am delighted to see this carnival. You all are pro- gressive, Chicago is the ‘Hub’ not Boston.” Mr. Logan, treasurer of Tuskegee Institute: “My people took me, off my feet to see them controlling the whole of State street during this car. nival. It is splendid.” Dr. Saml. Bourtney, Boston: “Won derfully surprised at the interest taken by both races in this carnival. T do not think that we could dupli. cate it In Boston.” Mr, David Weber, dyer and cleaner, “rhe Man Who Knows,” 3521-3531 State street:. “This carnival has helped the street. I am happily aston ished. I, with my friends, took in the whole street during the carnival and we were made happy to see such per fect order.

She stepped into-the vehicle, gathered up the lines and gave the pony a cut with the whip and was off. A man always utters a cluck to’start & horse; a Woman always gives hima cut, - ‘After a drive of three miles. Miss Claire turned out of the road and hitched the pony and: then strolled Into a grove to alt down and-think as the summer breeze sighed through the branches above her head. ‘The girl thought and thought and thought! She had got it about settled in her mind that her|hero would ‘never come along, when Pipa ran along the ground befbro her and dived into his burrow. = “Poor thing—he shall not smother | down there because he fears me!” ex- /clatmed the tender-hearted girl as she ‘rose up and looked around for help. In 2 moment more|she was running ‘through the woods, thinking she heard the voices of men. She was right about that. She hadn't taken a hundred steps when three brigands lying hidden in a hollow leaped up and came rushing at her. They wore rough clothes; they had long hair: their whiskers wore black as the ace of spades and matted with leaves, “Selze her and to| horse!” shouted the leader. < Miss Claire was duly selzed. She wanted to stop and explain about that suffering, suffocating chipmunk, but the brigands were hustlers and’ they made her hustle, too, In a minute and a half three horses were reached, and the leader of the brigands shouted: | “Keep the sheriff off, boys, until I can get a little start” a ‘And then there were’ whoops from the bushes across a creck, and the reports of firearms from ail around, and Miss Claire med hustled further. ‘That is, the leader mounted his cay- use and she was grabbed and hoisted up to him and the beast started off on a run for life, “After ‘em, boys!" “Shoot ‘em down like dogs!” “No quarter to briijands!” “Ki-yl! Whoop!” | Miss Claire only partly lost _con- sciousness. It was aj wild ride up and down hills—aeross | meadows and through thickets, dnd she prayed that the sherift’s parly would not fail. It was wonderful how very quickly that suffering chipmunk was forgot- ten. At length justice prevaited, as it al- ways should, but never does when the other man has the most money to spend on lawyers. ‘The two brigands covering the retreat were killed off after being struck in vital parts about thirty times apieco and then the leader's horse gave a stumble and @ groan and fell to breathe hls last. Nobody hurt in the fall—merely bounced some more. Behind the car- cass knelt the last and the most des- perate of the beteandh and ompticd his guns at the advancing foo and then died with the sacred name of “mother” on his ashen lips. ‘Then the sheriff's posse dashed in with whoops of victory. Miss Claire Benson lay sprawled out in a graceful and picturesque po- sition, “Who are you, and how aid you happen to butt In here!” "She's the girl" answered the brigand leader who had . died and come again to life with promptness and dispatch, = “The girl be hanged! You made a mistake! ‘There is the girl over there you should have carried off, but she was Jate in getting here. Nice sort of a thing you've done!” Miss Claire recovered her digaity, and as the “sheriff” stepped forward and raised his hat she demanded in turn: “Sir, will you explain this outrag6?” “TIL try to, miss, and beg your par- don a thousand times over. We are moving pleture actors, and are out here acting a play for areel. The girl who was to be carried off by the brigands is a farmer's daughter, but through some blunder she didn’t reach her assigned place in time. It seems you were there, | and the brigands thought it was all right to go ahead. Isn't It 80, Br. Aldrich?” ‘The brigand leader had doffed hat, wig and whiskers and laid aside bis guns and bandoliex, and he now ap: peared as a fine looking young man. With a bow and a smile he sald: + “It's my fault, ayd I can’t hope to be forgiven. I think yout tried to make an explanatii,:but {t was too late then. Our cup was out and we had to hustle. You were in the woods to gather flowers?” His query reminded Miss Clatre of that poor chipmunk, and she forgot all else temporarily and erled out: “Some one must come with me at once! ‘There's a poor little animal ying beck there!” | With her hand in Mr. Aldrich’s they hastened back to the woods with scarcely’ a word betiveen them, and presently arrived at the tragle spot.

If such was the case, and our object is both, to cure the afflicted and make money, we would have adopted the latter principle ere this. But we are paying money for this space in order that you reader, or your friend, may profit by the information it gives you. There are doctors and doctors. Some may properly diagnose your case and cure you. Others may not diagnose it at all, but attempt to treat you in spite of their inability to find out what your trouble is. A great many of your friends go down in the loop district to consult specialists. White specialists I mean, men who pay for police protection, but who have only a smattering of medical knowledge. They charge expensive fees, they extort your money and book you gust as they do in the police courts. Lawyers Harass Patients. If you do not pay cash for being false, their lawyers will dog your footsteps until you die, and then foreclose your insurance. You have your own doctors. There isn't any need to tell your family history to these charlatans, who will have you to subscribe your name under a long list of questions which no doubt you have tried to answer condemning your race to disgrace. Go to the colored physician and don't grow dissatisfied until you have tried them sufficiently, but then don't lose heart, there are a number of us here in Chicago who have practiced twenty-five years or more. Many Race Specialists. We are beginning to specialize in medicine, surgery, gynecology, obstetrics, eye, car, nose, throat and skin, electric methods as applied scientifically in treatment of diseases. There isn't really any excuse for patronizing white physicians at all. Wherever I see it, it makes me feel that some kind of ignorance impels the person to emphasize white superiority, and white man supremacy. It seems to tell our boys and girls who are neither blind nor deaf that they need not aspire, they need not hope for grand accomplishments, as if by some mistake there always will be Negroes enough to put the white above the colored people in everything. It is indeed creditable that the Negroes of Chicago are sustaining over sixty practicing physicians, dentists and supporting about ten drug stores. But, the encouragement thus is of a gingerly contracted kind. The Negro who can and would pay good prices for professional services usually goes down in the loop district. The writer was called to the bedside of one of these "big Negroes." He was very sick. His white doctor called to see him for $5.00 a trip, two or three times a week, for about three months. He continued to get worse. He was advised to have me call to treat him. -Expert "Dopes" Patient. We found that the eminent doctor, a professor in a West Side medical college, was purposely keeping him "doped," which gave him sinking spells. He had made a great demonstration before this ignorant big Negro, analyzing something for which he charged him $25.00. We had him up and out on the street after making one call, for which was charged only $2.00. He now is convinced that the doctors of his own race are good enough to patronize and pay, but he bought this experience and paid $100 for it, when he might have gotten our services in the first instance for $2.00 and not have lost so much time from his business. Every Negro doctor could tell of dozens of just such cases. Of course we have occasionally the individual of any race looking for a competent physician regardless of nationality. It often is a matter of convenience as well as fitness on the part of our few white patients. But as hinted in the case of the Negro, he seems not to have advanced to the period of individual growth, as to be enabled to view things with Cowper when he says: Fleecy locks and black complexion Cannot forfeit Nature's calm; Skins may differ but affection Dwells in black and white the same M.

FOUND A SACRED LAKE GOLDEN ORNAMENTS RECOVERED FROM GUATAVITA SHOWN. Treasures That Were Thrown Into the Water by Indians of Colombia, In Their Religious Rites, Before the Spanish Conquest. Scores of antiquarians and others interested in the races that inhabited the American continent before the coming of the white man visited the assembly room at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel to see the relies recently taken from the sacred lake of Guatavita, near Bogota, Colombia, and brought to New York by Mr. Hartley Knowles of London, the New York Herald reports. The story of the finding of the relics, which consist of gold ornaments, emeralds and pottery, reads like a romance. Ever since the Spaniards conquered the Indian race that inhabited the fertile plateau in Colombia efforts have been made to recover treasures sunk in the lake each year by the Indians as a religious rite. Spaniards undertook the task, but draining the lake was too difficult for them. Another determined attempt was made in 1823 by Capt. Charles Stuart Cochrane, an Englishman, but it ended in failure. In 1900 a British corporation was formed, and it tunneled the mountains and drained the lake. It has now begun to mine the relics buried deep in the mud. Lake Guatayat is almost in the center of the Great Andean plateau that was the home of the Chichib kingdom, composed of Indians who lived by agriculture and who had a civilized form of government. One of their cities, Usaquen, is said to have had more than a million inhabitants. The Chibchus paid homage to two gods. The sun was the beneficent delity, and the antithesis of the sun or evil spirit they believed was a huge serpent, which lived in the center of lake Guatuvita and which an enlightened saint, drought and the other evils which sometimes afflict an agricultural population. Therefore, though they hated the serpent, they pretended to worship him and sought to propitiate his wrath by gifts. Four temples to the serpent stood on the bank of the lake, which was only a mile across, but very deep. Once a year a great feast was given the serpent devil. The chief ceremony consisted of casting gold ornaments and other precious objects into the center of the lake, where the god could get them. The exact center was found by stretching two hide ropes in the form of a cross, from the four temples. Rafts were then propelled toward the center of the lake, amid the din of musical instruments and the cheering of the multitude. One raft was occupied by the ruler, whose body was covered with gold dust. When the precious objects were dumped overboard the ruler himself jumped into the lake and washed off the gold. The first Spaniards to visit the country witnessed these ceremonies, and the practice gave rise to the Spanish legend of El Dorado. Skipper's Good-By The captain of one of the "crack" American liners used to say that his wife was always the last person he spoke to on leaving port and the first on returning. In a sense, though not in the one understood by most of those who heard him make the statement, this was perfectly true, says the Liverpool Mercury. His house was on the banks of the Mersey, and he never pased it without "speaking" it by means of the ship's whistle. For the occasions he had a special code, which none of the crew, who all knew of the practice, could understand. One has under his control a powerful siren, on which he blows three terrific walls as a signal to his wife. At night they are sufficient to wake her from her first sleep. Another captain, who retired not long since, had a certain whistle for goodbye when he was dropping down the Mersey, and another for "all well" as he was coming up, and he invariably blew one or the other when passing a point to which his thoughts often turned when he was on the trackless deep. Both of these signals were well understood, not only by his wife and children, but by many of his friends. Must Master the Iron Clubs The true secret of successful golf is accurate iron play. A man cannot be a really first-class player unless he is more or less a master of all manner of iron clubs. Deadly accurate approaching will make up for many defects in wooden club play, and, in consequence, it is the iron clubs above any other with which a player should practice. I am not going to say that it is necessary for a player to be a complete master of every class of iron shot and to have intimate knowledge of the correct way of playing them, but I will say that it is absolutely necessary for a player who is anxious to attain any great measure of success to have a good command of his iron clubs.—Harold H. Hilton, in the, Outing Magazine. --- Says Chinese Are Heroic. C. H. Chu, evidently a Chinese student of Columbia university, New York, writes the New York Sun to contradict certain statements that have appeared in newspapers since the Titanic disaster, to the effect that among Chinese in similar circumstances the rule is "men first." Mr. Chu asserts that "the teachings of Confucius all favor self-sacrifice, the helping of others than yourself. Confucius says that a man who in peril steals his own life instead of dying under duty's call is less than a man. "There is nothing in Confucianism," continues Mr. Chu, "justifying any man who saves himself by letting a woman or a child lose life. "The experience in China is that many, many times the noble rule is followed: "Women and children first" followed: of course the men neglect the higher law, and are severally blamed by the people in general if they do" THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Some Authors Employ Them Lavishly, Others Sparingly but With No Loss of Strength. Dld. Cobbett say: "When a man comes to his adjectives, I tremble for him," or did he tremble at the thought of a writer using the word "if?" The only book by Cobbett now on hand is his "Tour in Scotland," in which he says dreadful things against potatoes and shouts the praise of brose, outcakes and oatmeal, a book delightful by reason of its vituperation, as when he describes the Globe newspaper as "that rumble tumble of fifth and beastly ignorance" and Denman as the "dirty hill of indictment drawer" for the Broughams and the Greys. Probably the saying is in Cobbett's English grammar. We were reminded of it by reading about John Walter, the founder of the London Times. That journal was at first printed logographically: that is, a number of words and phrases were cast entire, to save compositors the trouble of collecting one. Thus these phrases were on a single block: "Dreadful robbery," "atrocious outrage," "fearful calamity," "interesting female." There are writers today who always join the same adjective to certain nouns, just as it is easy to fall into the trick of characterizing a person or qualifying a thing by applying three adjectives, as the Irish lady was described in her epitaph as "bland, passionate and deeply religious." They say that Klimgake, writing "The Invasion of the Crimen," worked for a number of hours and left spaces for adjectives. He then rode on horseback, meditated the fitting adjectives, and on his return inserted them. Was it not Daudet who said that the adjective should never be the legitimate wife of the substantive? Look through "Gulliver's Travels;" mark the sobriety in the use of words, and note the strength and authority thus gained. Lafcadio Hearn's description of the Windward islands is in striking contrast—the style is as lush as the tropical vegetation; the reader should den colored spectacles. Yet with a few adjectives Poe and Coleridge could work wonders, and Walt Whitman was often fortunate, as when he spoke of the "gorgous, indolent sun," the sun "so calm and haughty," "mad, naked summer night."—Phillip Hale, in Boston Herald. New Process for Making Rubber. In a lecture before the Society of Chemical Industry in London, Prof. W. H. Perkin of Manchester University described a process for the production of rubber in the laboratory which has been widely commented upon in technical and other papers in the United Kingdom. It was stated by the lecturer that the synthetic production of rubber offers the probability of a profit at a price of 60 cents per pound, with a possibility of its production at 24 cents per pound or less. There has been rivalry between England and Germany in the effort to make synthetic rubber and priority of discovery is claimed by each country. It was contended by Professor Perkin that the English had anticipated the Germans by about three months. A. Open Window Model a moving machine. The first sea moving machine has been launched San Diego. It will be used for grafting millions of tons of kelp and seawed that grow along the coast. A gasoline machine has been fitted with a horizontal jack shaft revolving at right angles to the keel. Two vertical shafts are fitted with four-foot blades that revolve at high speed ten feet below the surface. The mowed kelp floats ashore, is taken out and dried, and later is hauled to a factory to be converted into fertilizer. Horrid Mammas Why is this little girl crying? Because her mamma will not let her put molasses and feathers on the baby's face. What a bad mamma! The little girl who never had a mamma must enjoy herself. Papas are nicer than mammas. No little girl ever marries a mamma, and perhaps that is why the mammas are so bad to the little girls. Never mind, when mamma goes out of the room slap the horrid baby, and if it cries you can tell your mamma it has the colic. Prefer Cigarettes to Opium. Use of cigarettes is increasing among the Chinese. An American and British tobacco company hires salesmen to distribute packages among the natives, giving away thousands, and then arranges with some native merchant to carry the stock in these goods. By this process has been built an enormous trade, which is steadily growing. In Dear New York "Officer," bawled an excited New Yorker, "there are four thugs around the corner beating up and robbing a citizen." "Much obliged for your information," responded the patrolman cordially, "but I won't butt in. Four men ought to be able to handle him without extra help and there's no use cutting up a little bit of loot five ways." A Relay Event. "How were you on athletics in college, son?" "I was good at relay events, dad." "That's what I understood. Well, you kin just relay all the carpets your ma took up last spring."—Pittsburg Post. More Than a Fad. "My friend, have you an object in life?" "Huh?" "Have you anything to work for?" "You bet I have. Got a wife and five children." Burned Off. "When my husband is unkind to me I heap coals of fire on his head." "I wondered how he lost his hair." LIMONDINE ANCIENT ROME'S WINES NEARLY FIFTY KINDS KNOWN TO ITS INHABITANTS. Several Varieties, Made With Salt Water, Were Considered Medicinal, and Not Intoxicating—Murrhina Given Those to Be Tortured. Nearly 60 kinds of wine were known to the ancient Romans, including several varieties used for medicinal purposes. Falernian was a home wine, resembling the modern Maderia, and was not commonly used until it was ten years old. After it was twenty years old it affected the drinker unfavorably, causing headache. Other wines were foreign, China, also called Arlusian, of which there were three varieties—austere, sweet and intermediate—and the Lesbian, considered to be the diuretic, were of this kind. Some wines were named after their color, as white, dark, and red. The white were thought to be the thinnest and least heating; the dark colored and sweet the most nourishing; the red the most heat- Certain wines named Myndian, Hall-carnassian, Rhodian and Coan, were made with salt water. They were considered not to be intoxicating, but to promote digestion. Two wines, Childian and Adrian, were also medicinal. Mustum was a term applied to wine new: made, or the fresh juice of the grape. Protopum was the juice which runs from the grapes, without pressing. Mulsum was a mixture of wine and honey. Sapa was mustum boiled down to a third. Defrutum was mustum reduced to half and Carenum was the same reduced to a third. Passum was a sweet wine, prepared from grapes that had been dried in the Carenum. Passum is also sweet wine, is believed to have been the same as the wine which our forefathers called Malmesey, in which the duke of Clarence, brother of Edward IV, elected to be drowned. A wine called Murrhina has a curious history. The Greeks had a wine of this kind which consisted of pure wine perfumed with odorous substances. The Romans had a wine similarly named, which is supposed to have been wine mingled with myrrh. It was administered to those who were about to suffer torture in order to intoxicate them, and to remove the sense of suffering. These ancient wines retained their place probably to the end of the Middle Ages, but there is no reliable evidence bearing upon this point. Very slowly the names, rather than the wines, changed generally. The ancient wines, even those in use in Shakespeare's time, seem to have been less charged with alcohol than the wines of the present day. Even Malmsy, the strongest of them, contained only about 12 per cent. of spirit, and Sack a little more than half that amount. The Ideal Grocer. Story of an African Romance Story of an African Romance. A romance born under unusual circumstances culminated at the altar, in the marriage of Miss Olive McLead and Charles Lindsay Temple, chief secretary of Northern Nigeria. It was while returning from Wadat, in the heart of Central Africa, whither she had journeyed to place a cross on the grave of her former flance, Leuct. Boyd Alexander, a noted explorer, who was murdered at that place by natives in 1910, that she met and was successfully wooed by her future husband. During this trip, Miss McLead covered nearly 4,000 miles, through regions where the natives although nominally friendly, are uncertain in temper. For four months she was in territory hitherto unknown to British travelers, and for six months in districts where a white woman had never been seen. A woman friend and her husband were the only other white members of the expedition. They were in almost constant danger lest the natives turn, against them, and on one occasion one of the wilder tribes seriously debated the proposition of taking the women prisoners. The party managed to escape while the parley was going on. Get Habit of Quiet Speaking. The easiest of bad habits to acquire is that of speaking loudly. Language has become so complex that not only is it necessary to say the right thing, but it must be said in the right way. A phrase may be said in jest or in earnest; a rebuke may be kindly or stern; an order may be willingly or unwillingly received according to the tone in which it has been said. Many a faithful workman is unjustly accused of unwillingness and disloyalty because of the churlish manner in which orders are received; many a master is regarded as unfeeling by his employees because his actions are forgotten and only the sting of his sharp manner remembered.
