Mr. Jackson Park Wednesday morning by the police of the Woodlawn station. The identification of the remains was made by the police by a card of Editor R. S. Abbott of The Chicago Defender which was found in his vest pocket. Mr. Ward's untimely death was the most pathetic that has occurred within the history of the Chicago Defender office. For several years Mr. Ward has been a frequent visitor to Chicago and at such times he always made the Defender office his headquarters. Seemingly Dazed He Wandered Away. He arrived in the city a day before the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League to which he was a delegate. He secured rooms at the residence of Mrs. Randolph, 3254 Wabash avenue, and from that point attended all the league sessions. He enjoyed himself in a social way and was a daily visitor to this office. Saturday night and Sunday Mrs. Randolph noticed that he was acting strangely and carefully watched him. On Monday he seemed absent minded and morose so she became alarmed and wired his brother, L. M. Ward, to come and look after him. That night he wandered away and early Wednesday morning his body was found by the police. --- Brother Sends Detective. Upon the receipt of Mrs. Randolph's telegram Mr. Ward's brother immediately consulted their friends among whom, was the district attorney who advised sending one of his officers to look him up. When this officer arrived it was his dead body that he found. Mr. Ward was one of the most enterprising and prominent business sign in Columbus, Ohio. He was engaged in the express and storage business and is reputed to be a wealthy man. To Be Buried at Columbus.

The detective who was a personal friend of the deceased, spoke in glowing terms of him and what an influential man he was and what a shock it would be to the entire community. "The district attorney, at whose instance I came, was one of Mr. Ward's closest friends." The Chicago Defender's Telegram. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 5, 1912. Mr. B. W. Byrd.

KNIGHTS AND DAUGH- TERS OF TABOR Noted Fraternal Order Holds Larga Meeting—Will Erect Monument in Memory of Founder—Sir Sclpio Jordan Speaks. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Louisville, Ky., Sept. 6. -Perhaps the most successful session ever held in the history of the International Order of Twelve, embracing the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, has just closed in this city on Aug. 30, and the next session will be held in St. Louis, at which time a monument erected in honor of the founder of the order, "Father" Dickson, will be unveiled. Representative men and women were here from twenty of the states of the union. The opening session was held Tuesday morning, Aug. 27. It was called to order by one of the most remarkable men of the order, Sir Sclpio Jordan, of Little Rock, Ark., international chief grand mentor. He held the second place at the time of the death of the founder, hence was his logical successor. Under his administration a great work has been accomplished. C. E. W. Days, Chief Grand Mentor of Texas, responded to the address. The response was full of wit and humor. Tuesday night the international triennial sermon was preached by the international chief orator, Sir M. E. Marchant of Columbus, Ohio. Rev. A. A. Cosey, D. D., of Mound Bayou, presided during the evening, and at the close of the sermon delivered an address. He was proud that he was an American Negro, and as such intended to make his way. He used opposition and race prejudice as a ladder on which to climb to the top of the mountain. Wednesday's session opened with the address of the international chief grand mentor, and the reports of the officers in their order. All the reports were up and elicited commendation from the delegates. Scipio Jordan delivered a masterly address, full of good advice and inspiration to the members of the order as well as the whole race. Order in Prosperous Condition. The most interesting report made was by Sir A. R. Chinn of Glasgow, Mo. who has been at the head of the colored schools of Glasgow for 32 years, and who has been connected with the order longer. For years he has held the position of international chief grand scribe. The report embraced the condition of the order in all parts of the country. Concerning the membership and number of lodges he reported Alabama, G. F. Newstell, C. G. M., lodges 115, membership 4,266; Arkansas, S. A. Jordan, C. G.

Cosey, international chief grand treasurer, made his financial report which tallied with that of Sir Chief Scribe. The Election of Officers. Each session was full of interesting incidents and reports, showing progress along all lines. Mrs. Hatcher of Chicago, the chief grand preceptress of Illinois, made an interesting address. The election of officers resulted as follows: Scipio A. Jordan, Little Rock, international chief grand mentor; Prof. S. S. Reid, Marshall, Texas, international chief vice mentor; Miss Jennie Jones, Jacksonville, Ill., international chief grand preceptress; Mattie Brooks, Des Moines, Iowa, international vice preceptress; A.

Lewstell, Montgomery, Ala., presiding prince; L. E. Hargrove, Boston, inner guard; A. S. Brown, D. D., Fensacola, Florida, orator. The officers were installed in the afternoon, following a street parade and exhibition drill. St. Louis was selected for the next meeting. MEETS GENTLEMAN BURG GLAR IN HIS FLAT. Mr. Grinnell, the State Street Baker, Returning to His Apartments, Finds Nervy Intruder—Piles Loot on the Bed—Gets Away with Shot in His Arm. Mr. Grinnell, the baker at 3308 State street, occupies apartments over his store. Returning there the other afternoon, he was met by a gentleman stranger, who had evidently feared no intrusion and was making himself at home. Jewelry and wearing apparel of Mr. and Mrs. Grinnell were piled upon the bed. Upon being asked what his mission there was the polite stranger coolly took a seat and informed the astonished occupant that "he had just been drinking with a couple of ladies and that he was awaiting their return." Hardly knowing what to do, Mr. Grinnell secured his baker's apron and went out. He hastily returned to the store, secured his trusty "38," and reinforced by his wife he returned upstairs. "The gentleman of nerve" was still there, but when the now irritate occupant of the flat looked in the door the intruder ran and tried to hide, with Mr. Grinnell in pursuit. He fired several shots at him and believes that he hit him once in the arm. He got away, however, and the police were notified. Up to going to press "the gentleman burglar" had not been apprehended. PHIL BROWN ON THE JOB. Phil H. Brown, one of the cleverest and most experienced newspaper men in the country, and who has worked on the Chicago Daily News, edited a daily paper at Hopkinsville, Ky., and written a number of meritorious poems including "Marching Wid de Band," is highly connected with the publicity department of the Republican national campaign committee, this city. Mr. Brown has been doing some gilt edge work for the Republicans in the state of Kentucky. How Character Is Formed. Characters are achieved—not received. They grow out of the substance of a man's soul. They are not put on as a beggar might put on a stolen coat. They mature like fruit from the vital fluids of the tree. This is a sign of their genuineness; they grow with use. A false limb wears out, wastes with use. A natural limb grows stronger and better with use. Character is an achievement. GRACE TEAM WINS CHAMPIONSHIP Captures Pennant by Superior Playing—Beats Bethany, 10 to 5. Journeying out to Palmer Park Saturday with admirers and 'fans, Grace team showed its superiority by winning from Bethany by a score of 10 to 5.

Grace got ten hits off Taylor of Bethany while Herbie Lewis only allowed seven hits. Baker pulled off the only double play to Irvin, while Motley, Irvin and Renfroe did excellent playing.

(Special to The Chicago Defender.) Columbus, O., Sept. 5. The city of Columbus celebrated its one hundredth birthday anniversary last week. There was a general holiday during the week and all nationalities participated in the celebration. Never before in the state has there been such a monster celebration. Representatives of the state and city governments took prominent parts and there was a general "home coming" of all races who took part in all the festivities. While the celebration was for all the citizens it remained for the colored people to ask for a separate day, which was not granted. The best thinking people of the race are glad that there was no such thing as a "Jim Crow" affair in a city celebration in the state of Ohio. Colored people, like the rest of the citizens, went right on enjoying themselves and not in the least showing any difference between them and other races. MISS FLEMING RETURNS. Popular Washington Teacher Reluctantly Leaves Friends. There was no one, no doubt, who enjoyed themselves any more in Chicago this summer than did Miss Maud Fleming, teacher, Washington, D. C. One month and a half ago Miss Fleming came to Chicago to visit her sister, Mrs. Peterson, 6022 Aberdeen street, Englewood, she said, "to rest," but to her surprise she had to return home a week before her school opened to get the required rest she wanted before beginning her duties. She was going day and night to wind up her stay, for she left the city Sunday, Sept. 1. She was given a 56-mile ride through the chain of city parks, making a complete circuit of the city in a beautiful touring car, by one of her friends, and on Saturday night her sister gave her a card party and dinner, with the following friends as guests: Mr. T. H. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Horsey, Mr. and Mrs. George Maxfield, Mr. J. F. King, an East Indian; Miss N. J. Alvis, Mrs. Elizabeth Ross, W. M. Pemleton, Mr. Gentry Murry, Mrs. Wn. H. Marshall, Miss C. C. Marshall, D. Ogburn and Mr. R. S. Abbott. Little Miss Alma, niece of Miss Fleming and Mrs. Peterson, who came west with her aunt and who was expected to return with her, refused to go. She said, "Maud thinks she is going to make me go to school. You can bet you won't make me study those books. I am going to stay here"—and she did. When Miss Fleming boarded the car and the train pulled her out of sight she wept for her hundreds of friends she left behind. She said she would return, however. BUMS DISGRACING FOREST AVENUE. Fashionable Section Must Not Tolerate Bad Characters. The Defender reporter was passing on Forest avenue this week and was humiliated by seeing two men lounging around on the grass, care feet and in their undershirt sleeves at the lower end of Forest avenue near the thirty-fifth block. No such acts should be tolerated in a most fashionable section of the city and people living there should call the police and stop such bums from making Forest avenue and other desirable streets unpleasing sights to children and respectable people. The drainage canal and other out sections are places for such characters and let not the people over east tolerate indecent acts of any class of people. Join the Defender in putting a stop to it.

JESSE BINGA IS PLEASED WITH CARNIVAL Says "In Summing Up it is the Greatest Race Achievement in the History of Chicago."—The Malice to None But Charity to All Spirit Won the Day—Receives Many Letters of Commendation—Two From Ministers Who Praise the Enterprise in Highest Terms—Visits Wentworth Avenue Carnival But Finds No Comparison—"They Have Their Troubles, So Did I." STATE STREET IS DULL AND DREARY. The Taking Down of the Electric Lights and the Depleting of Store Fronts of Flag and Other Decorations Causes Comment—The Chicago Defender in Popular Demand—Pictures of the Carnival Queen and of the Crowd at the Coronation of the Queen Pleases Public—What W. A. D. Venerable Said—Aftermath of the Carnival. By J. Hockley Smiley. Now that the State street carnival is over even those that first opposed it realized what a forward step it was in the march of progress. Now that the lights are down State street looks dull and dreary, the depleting of the store fronts of flags and other decorations causes comment of regret everywhere. Manager Jesse Binga is the happiest man in town. In an interview Wednesday night he said: "In summing up it is the greatest race achievement in the history of Chicago. The malice to none and the charity to all spirit won the day." "Yes, I attended the Wentworth avenue carnival, but I see no comparison. They have their troubles, so did I." Mr. Blinga has received many letters of commendation since the close of the carnival. He greatly appreciates one from Father J. B. Massiah, rector of St. Thomas church, and one from Rev. Bradden, pastor of the Berean Baptist church. This church had one of the most attractive booths during the carnival and realized over $150. Mr. Preston Taylor also liked the carnival and said so in a long letter. Mr. Venerable's Speech. Lack of space in our last issue prevented the publication of Mr. W. A. D. Venerable's speech at the crowning of the queen. It is published in full below. Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens: A half century has passed since the black and doleful cloud of the night—slavery—unfolded to us the happy gleam of freedom's silvery lining. We hailed it as the morning light of Christian America's civilization and, with one voice, we sang 'tis the gift of God. Four millions of human souls upon whom the light of freedom shone began life anew. Our lack of the knowledge of responsibility and the strangest environments suggested few ideals, but many freaks. We began to toil, we began to labor and, as the light of a fuller day came to us, we began to build. Our work was arduous, our opportunities limited, but still we learned on patiently and faithfully have we striven to do with all our might what the hands found to do. We have not instigated a single strike. We Are the Safety Valves. We have been content with our wages. We are the "safety valves" of the business and industrial engines of this country. But, my friends, it is not the past but the present and the future that concerns us most. Our past was slavery; we cannot recur to it with any degree of complacency or composure. The history of it is a record of stripes, a revelation of agony; it is written in characters of blood, its breath is a sigh, its voice is a groan and we turn from it with a shudder. Our duty of today is to face manly and with courage and skill whatever question confronts us. That the manager of this fair and carnival embodies the elements necessary to the accomplishment of great things is evinced by ocular observation and by physical demonstration. What have we seen? What do we see? Don't Be Decelved. What has Jesse Blinga, banker, diplomat and man of great realty interests, accomplished? Don't be deceived, the idea of a carnival and street fair here was not born of a mind of folly. The sports and pleasures enjoyed here were harnessed by the mind of a genius and flashed out on the canvas and stage for the purpose of advertising commercial thought and business energy. The fair has proved a splendid medium of and despite the very ion encountered it is a no Chicago Negro, if he would be proud of this splendid achievement. Let us encourage the man, the use of whose money does not serve to lower the standard of morals among us but which helps us to right thinking and right acting and to lives of future usefulness. Congratulates Mr. Binga, Mr. Binga, you and your splendid committee should be congratulated and you ought not face embarrassment at "self" congratulation by reason of the "law and order" spirit manifest during all these nights. If pocketes have been picked, if robberies have been committed they were committed in precincts more sacred than any to be found on State street. And now my friends, one word more and we shall witness the signal feature of all this entertainment—the crowning of our queen. not the queen of Babylon, nor of Spain, not the queen of Portugal, nor of England, but one of our own chosen as the result of her graceful demeanor, symmetry of form and a deserving popularity that challenges the admiration and respect of all "Africa in Chicago" and all "Chicago in Africa." Long live Miss Hattie Holiday's, 37,698 votes, "queen" of the Chicago carnival Aug. 28, 1912.

Perhaps no news in many a day has been accorded greater or more pleasing welcome than the announcement of the marriage of Dr. Leonard Lewis to Miss Laura Smith of Lexington, Ky., representing as they do the first families of the north and the south in both culture and wealth. We bespeak for them a long and happy wedded life. Dr. Lewis is too well known to need mention and his beautiful bride, a bell of "blue grass," has been the toasts of many cities and much sought after by a host of cavaliers. ALL AROUND THE WORLD. Short Items of Interest Arranged for Haasty Readers. A white man at Mobile, Ala., has been arrested for interfering with a colored mall clek. Miss Catherine Leaitad ranked first among seventy-nine graduates of the Mechanical Arts High school of St. Paul, Minn. She is 17 years old and will attend the University of Minnesota. The colored citizens of Columbus will occupy a day at the Ohio-Columbus centennial celebration. Among the speakers will be Assistant Attorney General W. H. Lews, John Mitchell of Richmond and E. H. Morris of Chicago. Parker N. Bailey, a colored Harvard graduate and teacher in the M Street High School, Washington, D. C., is dead. "RUBE" FOSTER TO BE BANQUETED Admirers and Fans to Honor Ball Player—Oratory and Music Features. "Rube" Foster, the most noted baseball player of the race, will be given a stag at the close of the season. His numerous admirers and fans will join hands in tendering the "Old Roman" an honor well deserved. The affair will be promoted by Mr. Cary B. Lewis, sporting writer and Chicago representative of the Indianapolis Freeman, and it will be given at one of the south side cafes. It will not be a "Palmer House" affair, but an occasion where men of all walks of life who are baseball fans will be given a seat, plenty to eat and three minutes to speak. Mr. Foster has held his own in the baseball game in Chicago as well as abroad and is a credit to the race, and he will tell briefly the famous plays made by the American Giants. High class entertaining, a splendid menu and oratory, with "Kentucky trimming," will be a part of the program. Elwood Knox of Indiana, Phil Brown of Kentucky, R. S. Abbott and J. Hockley Smiley of the Defender, Julius F. Taylor of the Broadax, S. B. Turner of the Idea, Wm. D. Neighbors and A. N. Fields of the Chronicle will be the honorees of the "press fraternity." Sporting writers of the daily press will be invited. Keeping Water Cold. If you are in the habit of taking a pitcher of iceed water to your room on retiring, try this: Procure a square pasteboard box (with lid), sufficiently large to hold your pitcher, and give it two or three coats of varnish on the outside, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly. Place your pitcher of water in this box on retiring, putting the lid on tightly, and you are sure of having cold drinking water any hour of the night. Imprisoned Tailor Strikes Strikes. The latest Australian strike is one of the Gilbertian strike. a promoter in Fermantle prison, a tailor by trade, refused to work on the ground that it would be contrary to his principles as a trade unionist. He sent a letter to the Tailors' union officially notify it of his action, but that body expressed neither sympathy nor disapproval, preferring silence. Patriarchal Turtle A mud turtle, said to be 180 years old, has been in an Albany (N, Y) family 65 years. Wrinkled skin, broken shell and twisted claws indicate its old age. It is very friendly with the house cat and night finds them under the stove with the turtle's head on the cat's paws. Healthy Palms. An olive oil bath is an excellent thing for a palm or fern. Pour two tablespoonfuls of olive oil at the root of your plant about once a month. You will immediately note the difference in the plant. It becomes a healthy green and the leaves fairly sparkle in the light. If your plant is small, you will not need so much oil. Loss to Antiquariums One of the huge stones of the Avenbury Druldale circle, which is much larger and older than Stonehenge, has fallen, owing, doubtless, to the effects of weather—heavy rains following a dry season. Aubrey, who acted as guide to Charles II., on a visit to this district in 1663, declared that Avenbury as far surpassed Stonehenge as a cathedral does a parish church—London Mall. Cow Was Drunk Not Wild Wow Was Drunk, Not Wild A Virginia husbandman, alarmed by the indecorous performances of an ordinarily munching cow, after munching a ration of emeralds pealed to the sharps of the department of agriculture, thinking the cow had gone wild or mad. Investigation revealed that "bossy" had feasted on fermented cornstalks and had simply got drunk on the raw bourbon whisky, Shows Slight Advance. The lover of primitive passions is evidently feeling the touch, if not the grasp, of modern civilization. The latest one of this type did not kill a girl he was in love with because she refused to marry him. With great and entirely unexpected moderation, he merely slashed her face with a razor, so that nobody else would want her. This is a distinct and encouraging advance. en Macdhul; King of Cairngorms Group of Peaks, and Some Others. Glencoe, Scotland—it is sometimes forgotten that the mountaineer can find some excellent places for the exercise of his powers in this country. A contributor to the People's Friend points out that the wild region round the pass of Glencoe, in Argyllshire, affords some of the best rock-climbing in Great Britain. The approach is through the grim recesses of Glenloach, and onwards by Tydrum and Bridge of Orchy. On the left, looking up the pass, the long ridge of Aonach Eagach cuts the skyline with its jagged outline, while on the opposite side rise the majestic rocky bastions of the "Three Sisters." The latter is the highest mountain in Argyllshire, and on the Glencoe side its symmetrical peak is upheld by two tremendous walls of rock, cleft by a great gully. The western wall, known as the "Church Door," has been occasionally "unlocked." THE CALIFORNIA NATIONAL PARK Would Test Nerve of Climber. but there is no record of the Eastern Buttress having been climbed from the foot. The Cairngorms have long been a favorite resort of Scottish climbers. In 1889 a club was formed, which had for its object the encouragement of mountaineering, with special reference to this group, and, in the same year the Scottish Mountaineering club was founded "to encourage mountaineering in Scotland, in winter as well as in summer." Braemar is a convenient center for excursions to the Cairngorms, under which name are usually included Cairngorm, Ben Macdulhail, Braeriach and Cairnolt, sometimes even Beinn-a-Bhuid and Benavon. Macdulhail, the monarch of the group, and the second highest mountain in Britain, stands apart from the everyday world in mysterious grandeur, its huge precelpces, deep chasms, waterfalls of unknown height, and fields of eternal snow forming a prospect at once magnificent and awe-inspiring. HAS SILKS; DIES IN RAGS Former Woman Educator, Considered Witch by Neighbors, Succumbs to Scalds. St. Louis, Mo.—A crowd of women gathered in the queer little apothecary shop at 1419 Franklin avenue recently discussing with awe the death of the proprietor, the strange woman who for years had held them in fear and awe of her through mystic psychic powers which she was reputed to possess. For Dr. Sarah F. Wells, graduate of Oberlin university, founder of medical colleges, author, lecturer, traveler, adventures and charlatan, is dead. Though she is said to have had a large fortune in tenement houses in Dayton, Ohio, and Kansas City, real estate in Florida and government bonds, for days she sat in a broken chair in the little Franklin shop suffer agony from scalds on her feet and limbs received when she fell into a bathub partly filled with hot water, before she was persuaded to have a doctor. She knew she was dying and her last act was to send for Mme. Bee, a fortune teller, and Miss Delia Huddy, who live in the rooms above her shop, to whom she gave her fifteen cats. For years the women of the neighborhood had held the fifteen cats in superstitious awe. They swarmed about the place, enjoying every liberty. Before the death of the woman doctor's husband, Rutus G. Wells, an eccentric aeronaut, two years ago, there were two cats to which strange influences were credited. The aeronaut was a poet after a fashion and when he was composing a rhyme one big cat would sit on his right shoulder and another on his left knee. RULES ON WOMEN SMOKING Minneapolis Judge Gives Habit O. K. in the Home, But Not Elsewhere. Minneapolis, Minn.—Minneapolis women may smoke in the privacy of their own homes if they wish, but if they do so in public they are guilty of disorderly conduct, and if their escort provides them with the "makin's" they, too, are guilty of disorderly conduct. This was the decision of Municipal Judge C. L. Smith here recently when he fined J. N. Thull five dollars and rebuked the young girl who was with him when arrested by a patrolman as they alighted from a car in the downtown district. Passengers had complained to the patrolman that the girl had been smoking a cigarette when she entered the car and that she continued to smoke it for several blocks. WASHINGTON GOSSIP Colored Brethren Stirred Up Over Question of Hell Perspiring Statesmen Labor At the Capitol. Proved That His Baby Was Finest in the World. Practical Joke Causes Break Between Senators THE CHICAGO DEFENDER WASHING Colored Brethren Stirred Up HELL IS SO HOT BAT IRON WILL MELT OOH WASHINGTON.—The colored brethren and sisters in the District of Columbia and the city of Washington are stirred up to a boiling point over the question of hell. The pastors of the various and sundry colored churches held a meeting the other day and in solemn conclave decided that there must be something "diddling" immediately to offset the effect of the recent action of the International Bible Students' association in going on record as believing there was no burning hell. If you take the fireworks out of hell according to some of the colored dispensers of "de gospel" in this city, you rob them of a great lever and a club over their uncertain congregations. The best way to keep a "nigger" in line is to convince him there is a hell and the hotter you make it and the more awful you can depict his future punishment unless he walks the "strait- and narrow" the more apt he is to heed your injunctions, according to the leaders of the various flocks in the District. A regular honest-to-goodness-burning lake of bristol and molten lead is the old fashioned kind of hell that has done yeoman service in making wine. It is a strange way in the past and has helped mislyly the limited donations to foreign DID you ever attend a Decoration day celebration and see the local politicians rise up on the platform and deliver themselves of long and fervid oratory? Did you ever notice that they are always dressed in the dignified and sober Prince Albert coat? No matter how hot the day none of them would ever think of rising to speak unless they were attired in this emblem of American statesmanship. After the local dignitaries had their say and the chairman rose to introduce the most important of them all, the representative in congress from the district or one of the United States senators, were you not impressed by his distinguished appearance? Could you imagine him going about in shirt sleeves, with vest unbuttoned and a handkerchief tied about his neck? No! A thousand times No! You could not. But they do. It's warm in Washington in the summertime. Some people say it's hot and some more people say some other things about it. One day the papers print an interview with some one of the leaders that congress will adjourn early in August. The story arouses hope in many hearts. A few days after they print another interview with some other man just as prominent who says that there will be no adjournment until the middle of September. So it goes. Meanwhile it is hard to get together a quorum of the faithful to transact business. The other day when an important bill was up before the house there were not enough members present and the sergeant at arms was instructed to go out and ar- BABY boy arrived at the residence of Thomas Fronesack a few days ago. He is a very remarkable youngster. Any one who has anything to say to the contrary does so at his own peril. Fronesack has promised to "lick" the man who dares to tell him to his face that that boy isn't the finest baby in the warld. And Fronesack makes good, too. The other afternoon Fronesack and his brother-in-law, Felix Wosnack, were sitting together on the Fronesack porch. Fronesack was discussing the baby. He has done nothing else but discuss that infant since he put in his appearance. "Did you see the smart way he doubled up his little flats this morning?" said Fronesack to Wosnack. "My, that boy is going to have strong hands." At this moment a casual acquaintance of Fronesack's passed at the gate. "Hear you got a new baby, Mr. Fronesack," said he. "You bet," responded Fronesack; "the finest little baby boy in the world." The visitor was conducted into the SENATOR COKE, OF MASSACHUSETTS I BELIEVE? "THE late Senator Coke of Texas and! Private John Allen of Mississippi were warm personal friends and for years dined at the same table at the old Metropolitan hotel," said Col. Charles A. Edwards, the noted correspondent, the other day. "The propensity of Private John to work off a joke even on as dignified a stateman as was Richard Coke came very near creating a permanent break in their amicable relations. I may say here that the Texan was an intense southerner, naturally of an irasible temperament. "Well, to get back to my story as to the trick played him by the gentleman from Tupelo.

Others may discard the old time honored hell, but as for the aforesaid pastors they propose to hold right on to it. They reaffirm their undived belief in the hell of the fathers; the same old hell that they have taught their flocks of, and that is so hot, that if a colored brother gets in ten thousand miles of it he will smell like a wet dog on a hot stove. Some of the younger members of the various congregations were inclined to harken unto the superior judgment of the Bible Students' association, and were a little inclined to turn a willing ear to the cooling news. So gratifying was the intelligence to them that they were getting real cheerful, and there was some talk of holding a regular jollification over the event, in which everybody would be invited to "cut loose and have a good time" and when doubtless many respectable persons would have got all "lift up" in honor of the occasion. The pastors held their meeting, however, and decided to put a crimp in all this wild joy. On the following Sunday, therefore, at the sundry churches all over the city, the colored brother who has been congratulating himself that he could, when he got ready, lay deprived hands upon any unprotected chicken roost without fear of having at some vague time in the future to wrap his system around a few gallons of molten lava while splashing around in a lake of burning brimstone, got a rude jar that upset his calculations. THE FEDERAL NATION Doug, 986 Automatic 73220 rest any members that he could find and bring them in. They were rounded up from their offices and from the long cool corridors and cloak-rooms of the capitol where they were basking in the breezes from electric fans or in the solitude of their offices where they had discarded their coats and were endoavoring to keep cool. "What is holding up the adjournment?" was asked a representative, "It's that darn lazy senate" said he, "and a lot of men who take up the time of the sessions with long political speeches that hold up the business that ought to have preceded." The house could adjourn in three days; he continued, "but they will have to wait for the bills now before the senate to pass that body and come to them for ratification." There are only two or three important bills up before congress that must be settled before the members can go home. In the meantime the statesmen will continue to swelter. Most of them would be glad of the opportunity to get home and attend to the work of fixing their political fences for their re-election this fall. Some of them feel, perhaps, that they can't be re-elected and want to stay in office as long as possible. At any rate they must continue to stay at the capitol and swelter until the close of the session. MY BABY IS BETTER AS YOURS house and the Fronesack baby was proudly exhibited. He did not seem impressed. "He's a nice enough baby," said the visitor, "but he's just like all kids." "What's that?" demanded Fronesack, "you dome into my house and tell me to my face that this is just an ordinary baby. I can lick the man who says that." "Well, I said what I said," retorted the visitor, "and I ain't taking it back. That baby of ours has got your baby skinned to—" Bang! Also bing, biff, and bam! Fronesack waded into the stranger. The police came finally. They locked Fronesack and Wosnack up at the police station. The visitor went to the hospital. He was unable to give his name and address there. He wasn't able to talk. the action of John Allen in allowing his beard to grow out during a vacation of congress. Throughout the session he had gone clean-shaved, so that on his reappearance the following winter with a full beard not even the negro bellboys at his hotel knew him, and he had to introduce himself to the proprietor. "The only other person to whom the jocose legislator disclosed himself was Senator Berry of Arkansas, and the latter, at Allen's request, took him into the presence of Coke and introduced the humorist as Mr. Beeman, a newly elected member from Mississippi. "Very glad, Mr. Beeman, to meet you," said Senator Coke, rising and extending his hand with great savvity, Shaking the proffered hand, the impostor drawled out: "Very glad also to meet you, senator.

They's a brighter day a comin', don't be livin' in a shroud When you know the sun is shinin' fea bein' th' darkest cloud. September promises to give us a hot old time. A few more days and Chicago will be back to its normal self again. Now that you have had time to think it over, the carnival was a big unlertaking, wasn't it? Now is the time for the president candidates to speak up and tell what they intend to do. It is estimated that the total Negro vote in the United States is 600,000, to say nothing of the "passers." That ought to make us like a winter hat— felt. Our women throughout the country are taking an active part in the Sufra frage movement, and in the coming campaign promise to make things lively for the stronger sex. All hats off! --- If we weren't so modest we would like to tell our readers what some of the greatest journalists of the country think about the general make-up of The Defender, but what's the use. If it wasn't O. K. you wouldn't buy it and read it. Work is being rushed on the new Y. M. C. A. and it now begins to look like it will be completed before the specified time. Well, the sooner it is an institution much needed in Chicago and will be a credit to the race. Wherever colored students are represented in the higher branches of education they invariably carry off the honors, the last instance being that of Miss Laura Wheeler of Hartford, Conn., who was the prize winner at the American Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, and from Minneapolis comes word that from Minneapolis Leatat, 17 years old, ranked first among 17 graduates of the Mechanical Arts High School. isn't this a point in favor of higher education? It will be a pretty hard matter in the future for good citizens to have any respect for the law when those that make it break it with impunity. This pretentious organization known as the American Bar association is putting itself on the level of a private social club, formed in the heart of the southland. Never before in history has such a pliful display of narrowness been shown. Every Negro attorney should have self respect enough to keep out of such a misrepresentative body. Residents in Lake Forest are all excited over the unsanitary condition of a dairy farm owned by Smith Hayes and said to be worth in the neighborhood of $15,000. There are, of course, other dairy farms there, but the conditions of this girls special attention to him. We have not investigated the charges brought by the residents of the prospective "City Beautiful"; if they are true it is to be regretted and he should at once proceed to put his place in a sanitary condition, but we fear that demon prejudice has crept into the lives of the Negro people, needs no one to help fight his battles as he controls the Negro vote of the village and that means everything in the way of pull and prestige. "TO YOUR TENTS, O ISRAEL!" Not even the most optimistic will dare galasay that the crisis in the affairs of the Negro is upon us, and that the day of his political judgment is at hand. In his extremity the Negro is completely surrounded: at the South by dischristianism as an already accomplished fact; at the north by the Negro's participation of the Initiative, Referee-dum and Recall, which is even worse than dischristianism, because it would steal from our race its rights and privileges like a thief in the night; to the right of him grins the devil, and to the left yawns the deep, deep sea. The precipitation of this critical condition is the work of a dangerous demagogue, developed from a demigod. This man dares to haunt his open repudiation of our struggling race of civic climbers. He attempts to throttle the hopes of our people at the south of ever regulating their citizenship, while he advocates the adoption of a new form of the诞诞endum and Recall, which covertly, but none the less surely, means the dischristianism of the Negro at the north. In the supreme momentary mania of his exaggerated ego, he assumes to rattle around in the boots of the immortal Lincoln and ascribes to the great emancipator the authorship of original sins against the law and the constitution, for which no man other than Theodore Roosevelt could or would be responsible. He has transfigured history into his story; he has bitten the hand that fed him and is writhing with the intelligence of a loyal, law-abiding grover, who, as Jack Johnson says, have "always been in his corner and have trained him and backed him for so many victories." However, it is not a more man that we would discuss, but the principles for which he stands sponsor. Since Theodore Roosevelt and the Negro have come to the parting of the way for the other is for weal or for woe. His doubtful sincerity, as demonstrated in the discharge and disgrace of the innocent Negro soldiers at Brownsville, makes us prone to wonder whether or not it would be better to have Col. Roosevelt in his new status as an open enemy, or in his old status as a pretended friend. Abelt, there is no reason to doubt the fact that he once time President of the United States and has joined issues with the avowed enemies of the race will not only afford strength to bear us down, but will breathe into the nostrils of or enemies new life and zest to levy their reprisals upon an already deed, enriched class of American people. II. So much for Theodore Roosevelt, and now to the Initiative, Referendum and Recall. Colored voter of the north, are you aware that part of this perilous policy, to wit: the Initiative and Referendum, was practically embodied into the constitution of the state of Ohio by the primary election of last Tuesday? I know that the Progressive candidate for President appeared before the Constitutional convention in that state and advocated its adoption? These are facts. While Roosevelt, for the simple purpose of annexing votes, of whatever kind, is cajoling the Negro at the north and damning the Negro at the south, we have ocular evidence of the growth of his activity at the north. The Initiative, Referendum and Recall, of disaffection, sugar-cotton, abset, with slightounding and illusive verbage for the consumption of the northern Negro, but nevertheless an amcetic which will sooner or later force him to disgorge every right that he possesses under the law and the constitution. The Defender warns the Negro in the northern states, as well as the Negro in the border states, that his elective franchise is neither an frontier nor a backbone of citizenship is simply rain check, dependent upon the whims and weather-cocks of fickle sentiment. Out in the broad light of day and in the courts where public obtains, the Negro has a chance for justice, but under the Initiative, Referendum Negro should give rights of the Negro will be decided upon, the Negro will be secluded of the voting booth, where his enemies may stab him in the back and none be the wiser, because they will be swallowed up in that great concrete majority that Roolevell likes to call "the people." If the enemies of the race would disfranchise or Jim Crow the Negro in northern states they would simply be allowed to operate in operation, and then go into the booth and vote for it. If the Negroes should appeal to the courts and were successful in securing a decision in their favor, their enemies would need not to apply the Recall, and have not only the decision reversed, but the judge or judges who found it charged. Referendum bega that the northern Negro should give a careful and comprehensive study of the Initiative, Referendum and Recall that the Pre- gressives are now exploiting with such sinister vigor; and it behoves every man of our race to rally now, not to the cause of Republicanism nor of Progressiveism, but to the cause of his own race that is now face to face with political destruction. The text "Israel" and strength to our hands that we may triumph over our enemies! From the grand old state of Ohio and the city of Columbus comes the authentic report that Negroes had the audacity to ask for a separate day during the week of Columbus' 100th birthday anniversary. This is indeed surprising to us when we thing of Columbus with all of its indignities, and advocate equal rights and who are at liberty to attend all public institutions, would ask for a "Jim Crow" day in the city's celebration. It was an occasion when all the people were asked to join in commemorating the founders of the city and its wonderful progress. No discrimination was made when the city urged all to "make merry" the week by witnessing everything prepared for the occasion, but it was left to a few Negritos who did it for a separate day. Why so? What are some Negritos are always in the limelight, asking for separation in public affairs is past our understanding. Why then not ask for separate street cars and separate schools? We don't believe that the rank and file of the race in that state want such separation and neither do the white people, as it was got granted. We are glad to note that the Columbus celebration went on undisurbed without a few Negros, resourced or working. Too often, a law "would-be leaders," imagining they are doing the race good by clamoring for public separation, bring harm and shame upon the race. Let us hope that the people in all sections of the north - will not stand for separation in any public affair or in any part and insist upon this as men and women and not as a separate race. Let the better thinking class of people be more vigilant in this direction and we will not have a repetition of this affair at Columbus.Equal rights to all persons in separation should be the slogan. ANNOUNCEMENT. The Defender takes pleasure in announcing that it has succeeded in obtaining the services of Mr. W. Allison Sweeney as a special write-up man and political reviewer for its columns. This step is in accordance with what will continue to be our rules. We are not content with the "fair" and "passable." We want the best. Mr. Sweeney needs no introduction. The race is acquainted with him. His standing and place is assured. As a profound thinker, analytical reasoner and a master's gift in the selection and marshalling of words, he has few equals in the race and no superior anywhere. N. B.-Mr. Sweeney's contributions will appear in no other paper, and all political opinions from his pen will be vouched for by his signature at the bottom. Individuals or business houses desiring to confer with Mr. Sweeney, call Douglas 3339, Defender office, or Douglas 795, his residence. PARAGRAPHS WITH By Waldo L. Batson.

Some time ago the question of putting Negro policemen on the force wielded by the police was the opinion wherever discussed. There are those who believe that a colored officer might get killed, and they are very solicitous as to his welfare. They have a perfect horror at the thought of an officer being killed if he be of African descent, but they have no concern about a colored man being shot to death in citizenship clothes. There are those who think that a colored policeman should not arrest any one except colored people; while there are still others who think that being a policeman is a white man's job. None of these elements will ever do much toward restoring law and order in Dallas, where we have a murder every time we have a week. Those charged with the responsibility of a good police officer and preserving the same must rise above these petty notions and adopt measures and select men to carry those measures into effect without for a moment stopping to consider the question of the color or race of the man. The Dallas Express wants to see Negroes on the police force. We believe it will create a better feeling. The colored officer will necessarily spend most of his time with Negroes. The better element of Negroes will feel freer to help him hunt down a criminal than they will to help a criminal, and it will be entitled to the experiment. Let us try it. If it does no good we can stop it before it does much harm—The Dallas Express. [The Chicago Defender invites the chief of police of Dallas and all of his advisers to visit Chicago and inspect our splendid police department. Every section of the city has its quota of Negro officers with one sergeant.] GETTING CLOSE TO NATURE As One Who Understands It, John Burroughs wrote in *The Beauty of the Country* To take the birds out of my life were the lopping off so many branches from the tree; there is that less surface of leafage to absorb the sunlight and bring my spirits in contact with the vital currents. We cannot pursue any natural study with love and enthusiasm without the object of it becoming a part of our lives. The birds, like us, become linked with our lives and hold the key to our thoughts and emotions. I certainly have found "good in everything"—in all natural processes and products—not the "good" of the Sunday school books, but the good of natural law and order, the good of that system of things out of which we came and which is the source of our health and strength. It is good that fire should burn, even if it consumes water, and it is good that force should crush, even if it crushes it is good that rain should fall, even if it destroys your crops or floods your land. Plagio and persillence attest the constancy of natural law. They set us to cleaning our relations to outward nature. Only in a live universe could we expect to be able to form a phase of life, a redistribution of the type. Decay is another kind of growth. The show and splendor of great houses, elaborate furnishings, stately halls, oppress me, impose upon me. They fix the attention upon false valuation of beauty; they stand between me and the real feeders of character and thought. A man needs a good roof over his head winter and summer, and a good chimney and a big woodpile in winter. The more open his four walls the longer he will get, and the longer he will live.—John Burroughs, in the Century. Queues and Hair Supply. Consul General Anderson, stationed at Hongkong, has recently taken paths to correct the widespread impression that the growing tendency on the part of Chinamen to dispense with their queues will have the effect of making false hair cheap. It appears that the queues when cut are never sold, but are always preserved for burial with that effect. And that this is an absolute rule throughout South China, as well as in all other parts of the country from which he has been able to secure information on the subject.

H. WAGONER INVITED BACK TO JOLIET. Joliet, IL, Sept. 6—Mr. and Mrs, J.-H. Wagoner and son of Chicago spent Labor Day here looking through the prison.” ‘They were much im- pressed with the workings of the jn- stitution. Mr. Wagoner hesitated though when he was asked to register in the big visitors’ book. After some persiading he tremblingly_auto- graphed the family’s name, and said: “Annie, I don’t like the idea of our whole ‘family's name being on that ook." On leaving the prison he was invited to return, but he sald: “Not ‘on such a slim invite as that,” CHICAGO AS A SOCIAL CENTER. By Julius N. Avendorph, ‘There is an absolute Justifleation in referring to Chicugo’as a social cen- “eras thero is not a eity in the United States, and especially where its popu: lation is composed of as many class. es, is there the social life that exists in Chicago, and in no case does either ‘of the respective classes have any Teason for presuming on the social rights or privileges of the other, in order to spend a day or ovening of social enjoyment? In apealting of so- efal Ife, 1 refer, of course, only to the best class, as it is that class by Woh the sdcial status of every city is Judged. The summer of 1912, and particularly the month of August, if you please, far eclipsed any similar period of time from a social stand- pofnt that we have experienced with- in the last twenty years, and 1 can snfely say there was more represent- ative visitors within our gates during that time than we have had since the world’s fair summer. I reallze, of course, that Chicago is never without a.large number of representative vis- tors during the summer months, ney- ertheless I have no fear of contradie- tion in making this statement. It the qWestion was a subject for discussion, +here would be, of course, many points hat would be contended as to whether Shleago was or was not a social cen- ‘er, but I am eliminating all the sur- counding elements of freedom of laces. of amusements and publit con- reyances, yet I fully-realize the pos- sibility of our city being less attract- ive to the average person without these features, but I am confining my- self to the people entirely. As my social experience has taught me that the association of the people in thelr homes was the greqtest feature of so- cfal life, ‘as sight-seeing is optional with the individual, Previously to the world’s, fair there was an idea existing among the easterners that the Chicagoans were somewhat on the order of the Indian, and social ethics Was a thing unknown, but thanks to the existence of the fair, as it gave us an opportunity that possibly would not have otherwise given us to show our visitors from all sections of thé earth, that we were capable of the beg in every walk of life, and there- by establishing a reputation as befug among the most hospitable and gra- cious people elther east, south or west. One of the most noticeable fea- tures of the visitors who come to our city 4s, thes" never seem to tire of coming summer after summer and the meeting of the same people one, two or three seasons 1s, seemingly, Just ag cordial as when they formerly met. ‘That alone is an evidence of some- thing more than simply an ordinary passing acquaintance. On the other hand, It means that a lasting impres- sion had been made. Social life is merely a diversion, but without it lite would be rather blank, What is more enjoyable than an evening with love- ly intelligent, well thinking people? In my opinion, absolutely nothing. ‘That is the kind of social life that has about brought the summer season to a close. Receptions after receptions and daneing parties after dancing par- Ues Intermingles with cards, lunch- eons, autemobiling, boat excursions, breakfasting, theater parties and out: ings. Two Weeks of the month of August wes a record breaker, the world’s fair summer not excepted. It was morning, noon and night and in many cases it was necessary to leave one affair after having remained a sufficient length of time to permit leaving without showing a like of appreciation in order to get to an- other affair. ‘There was an unusually pretty, as Well as charming, set of young women; and,also a delightfully handsome set of maids and matrons with a backgorund of a large number of the country’s best and finest look- ing men. THE STATE STREET FAIR AND CARNIVAL ASSO- CIATION. Mr. Jesse Binga, in speaking to a reporter of the Defender, among oth- er things, said that he intended form- ing an association with a capital stock of $150,000 to promote the carnival and State street fair idea each year, until it reaches a world-wide reputa: tion. “I want to see my people,” said Mr. Dinga, “in every line of business there is, 1 want to see them in neat, clean stores. T want to see them in dealing in fruit stores, fish markets. Just think of small Chicago, with 100, 900 of us, there is not a fish market, and we eat fish, too. Who fs getting the bulk of this money? And still you wonder why we can’t get work. You are not making it for yourselves. They place their money in banks where their children are not given a chance to learn banging. Does the Jew perform such tricks? We have got to get together. Next year we will have along State street representa- tives from each city in the state who is in business to show the world what we are doing here in Illinois. With one night as governor's night, work along this end fs being formu- lated, and by December every detail will be finished and shares will be on the market for the general public to take a hand and share the profits,” At the Brides Club. “Why did you prohibit jewelry at the mertings of your bridge club?" “It became too easy to signal for trumps.

BAR WOMAN AS LAWYER Atlanta Student, While Graduating From College, is Excluded by Court Interpretation. Atlanta, Ga—When the curtain in the Grand Opera Houso at Atlanta rolled up, disclosing the graduating class of the Atlanta Law school, there was a general craning of necks and ex- cited whispers. For here was a wom- an candidate for the coveted degree of Bachelor of Laws—a Fortio in staid old Georgia—and the audience rose en masse to shout its approval of this in- vasion of the sacred rights of man, ‘The climax came when her name— Mrs, Georgia Mcintyre Weaver—in the course of the distribution of the diplomas was called. The little won an, who had sat through the evening among that dominant group of men ag unconcerned us though the welght of her sex was not hanging around her neck, stepped demurely forward to receive her degree—“with all the advantages, privifeges and emolu- ments incident thereto.” But the following morning, while the balance of the class was being admitted to the jar, Mrs. Weaver, she “ot the privilegdd sex,” sat in| her room gazing at her diploma and think. ing of the uselesb degree that entitled her to all the “sdvantages, privileges and emoluments thereto.” For, under an interpretation of the law, as lald down by the Georgia courts, only male citizens are eligible to the practice of law.

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, ```markdown ``` SOLACE DRAMATIC CLUB PRESENTS "THE CARIB" Terrevous L. Douglass' Realistic Drama and a Prologue Witnessed by a Large Audience at Oakland Music Hall Monday Evening. "The Carib" as presented by the Solace Dramatic club at Oakland Music hall Monday evening was one of those rare occasions wherein art and pleasure mingled to the delight of a large assemblage. This realistic drama in three acts and a prologue, written by Mr. Terrevous L. Douglass, was presented for the second time. It is a production that has been favorably commended by all crities and, like old wine, it grows better with age. An exceptionally brilliant cast gave this production. To specialize would be to detract from about as perfect an organization as has been seen for some time. The cast included such well known artists as Junius F. Sayro, George M. Allen, Jennie Watts-Brown, Terrevous L. Dougault, Madelyn Johnson, Beulah Ray White, Selena Breckenridge, Norris Francis, Eunice Kersky, George R. Gamer Jr., Andrew Childress, Hattie Edwards Pryor and Lorain Craig. Dancing followed, the music being furnished by Prof. Garfield Wilson's orchestra. Assisting Mr. Douglass in this affair were Attorney Edward I. Alexander, charge d'affaires; Robert Hall, box office; Dr. W. H. Davis, ticket agent, and A. T. Hackley, assistant ticket agent. The ushers were Wm. A. House, Osborne Crews, Leona Daughtry and Murty Collins. GRAND THEATER The Grand theater offered another good bill this week. Haynes and Wynne, character singing and dancing experts, opened the bill. Dawson and Eckhart, Carlton and Peters and the Five Musical McLarens were among the other features of the evening. Although the weather has been extremely warm the attendance has not diminished. REV. EUGENE LAWRENCE. Pastor Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, Situated in the Hyde Park Division, Rhodes Ave. and 64th St. Ceremonies and Sermon Marking the First Sabbath at Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church. Last Sabbath was auspicious in the history of Lincoln Memorial Congregational church, it being the first day of worship in its new home, located in the Hyde Park community, corner Rhodes avenue and 64th street. There was a sense and vision of beauty and freshness that greeted the gaze of the large circle of members and friends attending both morning and afternoon services, blending naturally with the radiance of the day, the glimpse of green and flowering plants, that here and there graced the place, and the pervading presence of the Master, whose presence—unseen but felt—filled the newly and tastefully decorated house of worship. The program as arranged was carried out without a hitch, the music throughout the day being restful and inspiring. As to be expected, the young and capable pastor, the Rev. Eugene C. Laurence, was the center of interest and expectancy, and his morning discourse, the subject of which was "The Importance of Small Things," was a gem in thought and application. "No race, class or community," proclaimed the preacher, "can with safety neglect the religious side of its life, for it is by that standard the progress of humanity is measured. Religion, education and government are the chief attendants and guides to the well being of mankind, but even these cannot be secured and fostered without cost. No progress was ever accomplished, no upward movement, no gain for good and betterment ever achieved without a payment of the cost, the giving up of life in some form or other; something must be surrendered; sacrifice is inevitable. From the simplest forms of vegetable life to the highest types of animal life this law is unchanged and unchangeable, and the necessity and value of little things and small beginnings was taught by the Master two thousand years ago, as He walked with His disciples on the banks of the Gallilee, or supplicated the Father in the quietude and seclusion of Gethsemane." Dr. Philip W. Yarrow, assistant secretary of the City Missionary Society, was present and spoke feelingly and encouragingly to the congregation and friends. Why He Did It. "So your oldest boy has joined the glee club?" "Yen." "What caused him to like the step?" "I don't know. But having been in the step, it guesses it must have been melancholia." City Churches Sunday afternoon, Sept. 8, at 4 p.m., Mr. Edward Dentz will give a musical recital singing "The Rosary," "Who Knows," written by Dunbar and arranged for singing, and other numbers. Mr. S. T. Roberts, late graduate of the law department of the Chicago University, will speak on, "The Negro's Future Political Career." ST. MARY'S A. M. E. CHURCH.

D. Ruffn; subject, "The Duty of the Nation to the Negro." A large and enthusiastic audience greeted him, among whom were several white business men. The following officers were elected: B. W. Fitts, president; Miss L. Hayes, secretary; R. B. Barns, treasurer; Mrs. R. A. Jackson, vice president; Mrs. Campion, chaplain; R. A. Jackson, journalist; Mrs. Maud Nevelle, chairman; music committee, Andrew J. Offord, chairman; program committee, E. A. Harris, Mrs. Simpson. Installation of officers next Sunday by the pastor.

Monday night and up until Thursday night will be held the annual festival and contest. Excellent program each night. The mock conference was a great success last Monday night; the final report will be made, Sunday morning. Mr. Clyde Glass, who has been visiting Hilbert Stewart, returned to Des Moines, Ia., last Saturday night. Mrs. Hightower and daughter are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Oral on North Dearborn avenue. Mr. Fred Lee spent a few days in Michigan the past week. Mrs. Austin Davis has been entertaining friends from Michigan for the past three weeks. A large and appreciative audience attended the morning services at Wayman last Sunday. Some of the former members were present and all seemed to have a pleasant time. The pastor has published a bulletin and church directory of Wayman and friends on the north side. WALTER'S A. M. E. ZION CHURCH The definite presence of the Holy Spirit in the commemoration of the Lord's Supper at our church on last Sunday morning will never be forgotten by those present. Three persons joined the church. The members are urged to keep up their attendance at the Friday night class. The Sunbeam club wishes to thank all who assisted them in making their entertainment at the American Giants ball park a financial success. The Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary society are arranging a splendid program for woman's day in our church, Sunday, Sept. 27. Personal invitations are being sent to all the missionary societies of other churches asking them to be represented at the afternoon services on that day. Our services on Sunday will be as usual. Rev. Callis will preach at 11 a.m. on "The Strongest Element in Human Character." At 8 p.m. m. there will be an educational rally for the girl's dormitory at Lingstone College and the W. P. Russell Industrial school at Hayneville, Ala. A special program is arranged for this service. Prof. Max Finger of Roumania, Russia, will speak; also Mrs. Louisa Braxton, principal of the Russell school. The public is especially invited to be present at this service. THE INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH "The Ministry of Mercy—The Mission of the Church" was the subject of the pastor's last Sabbath's very instructive and helpful discourse. Tomorrow and all of next week will be interesting and profitable to all who worship at or attend the Institutional church. The pastor will preach at 10:45 and 8 p. m. The Rev.

ALL GRIST FOR THE BRIDE Other Women in the House Have Small Chance of Receiving Bundles That Are Sent Home. An uptown woman who nearly got stalled in a Ninth street car with a bundle of merchandise gave this reason for carrying home her own parcels, according to the Philadelphia Public Ledger. "There is a prospective bride in our boarding-house," she said. "Everything in the dry-grooms line is grist to the mill of the woman about to be married. Other women who have the misfortune to live in the same house shop under difficulties. The only way they can insure the enjoyment of their own purchases is to carry them home. "If the things are delivered the bride snaps them up. Possibly she has no-real shoplifting propensities, but circumstances combine to make her a thief. Servants bring to her room all parcels of whatever size and shape that come to that front door. So many of the things do belong to her that to read the label or listen to what the delivery boy says is considered superfluous exertion. And the bride is equally disdainful of a preliminary examination. Egotically she rips off wrappers and digs into contents. "Yesterday I heard her raising the roof because a certain shop had sent her six pairs of black silk stockings, instead of the pink, blue and tan she had ordered. After she had sent the stockings back and had the money refunded I discovered the stockings were mine. I cannot afford to contribute these parcels to the bride's wardrobe, so I am carrying them home." A Colossal Scheme. The great highway of the commerce of the future will be the Pacific ocean. Mighty capitalists throughout the world are putting their heads together to erect the most colossal system for wireless telegraphy in the world. The system contemplates the linking together of all points along the western coast of America from Bering sea to the Straits of Magellan, and spanning the isles of the ocean, to link with this chain the whole easterly shore of Asia, running on down to the Straits Settlements. The contemplated system will cost in the aggregate many millions of dollars. Bones as a Barometer. Boules as a Barometer. The merits of bones as indicators of fair or foul weather have been vouched for by the captain of an Italian steamer carrying a cargo of bones from the South American port of Buenos Ayres to New York. When the ship was sailing toward a storm recently the skipper stated the bones creaked and moaned, and when fair weather was ahead they were silent again. Finger Prints In Banks German banks, according to newspaper dispatches, have begun to introduce the finger print as a mark of identification on checks. The method is already in use in the United States Electric Street Sweepers The municipality of Berlin has found electrically driven machines for cleansing the streets much cheaper than the old horse carts. There are now twenty-four storage-battery machines in use. The electric machines do so much work that each machine is supposed to save about $1.33 a day by comparison, with a horse-driven water cart.—The Electrical Review and Western Electrician. Before or After "I thought that in the 15 years of my practice of medicine," said a physician, "I had answered almost every possible foolish question, but a new one was sprung on me recently. A young man came in with an inflamed eye, for which I prescribed liniment—to be dropped into the eye three times a day.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER OF STUBEORN MILLICENT meet-ice. By HARMONY WELLER. Millicent stepped lightly from her limousine and into the foyer of the theater. She was conscious of presenting an unusual picture in her big drooping hat and frock of palest mauve; there was just a suggestion of melancholy about Millicent that only exaggerated her charm. To the man standing near the ticket office she seemed the embodiment of all that was lovely. Millicent looked up and caught his eyes fixed admiringly upon her and the color flamed into her cheeks. Her fingers trembled slightly as she fumbled for her ticket. A frown sped swiftly across her face. The ticket that she had taken a month or so ago was not in her bag! "We have been booked back for the last six weeks," the man told her. I and so want to see the play," she informed the man behind the window. As she turned to leave the foyer her appealing eyes swept across space to the good-looking man whose gaze had brought the color into her cheeks. "If you care to take this seat—I will be only too happy," he said in a perfectly impersonal tone. Millicent hesitated a second only then in a hurried voice thanked him. "And you are not robbing yourself?" she questioned. "The seat will go begging if you do not use it," the man said and gave her the ticket. Millicent reached down into the depths of her opera bag and brought forth a two-dollar bill. "Is that right?" she asked and did not raise her eyes. A dull red mounted even to the man's temples. He drew back swiftly then as suddenly took the money. "Thank you, yes." He raised his hat and Millicent went into the well-filled theater. A moment before the curtain arose she knew that he had come in and that he was sitting beside her. Millicent felt peculiarly aggrieved that he had not so much as looked at her. At the same time she knew that if he had acted otherwise she would in all probability have left the theater. "I wish he were—not quite so good looking," she found herself thinking. The curtain went up and she became interested in the play. But through it all Millicent was uncomfortably conscious of the man beside her. Notwithstanding the fact that he was sitting in the next seat to her he seemed to have put himself miles away. That he was completely absorbed in the drama being enacted on the stage, and not in her, was evident to Millicent. She found herself losing interest in the actors and watching every movement of the long, shapely hands of the man. Occasionally she sole a surreptitious glance at his profile. The success of the play had come, not through any hectic love affairs with another man's wife or any great financial crisis. It was merely a pretty, domestic drama told by well balanced, healthy-minded people. There were no scheming politicians and no wan eyed heroes. The hero was big and broad-minded and the girl he loved was sweet and she was not jealous nor catty when her handsome lover danced with the dark-eyed Suzette. Millicent felt suddenly very small and insignificant and unloved. "It is only play girls who are so simple minded," she argued with herself. She glanced at the man beside her. His eyes were following the girl on the stage and Millicent lanced there was more than the theater-goer's admiration in his face. She bit her lips to still their trembling and turned again toward the stage. "Girls are not like that in real life," she told herself vehemently. The curtain went down on the second act. The man beside Millicent again went out and in her vivid imagination she pictured him as buying great clusters of American beauties and sending them to the stage heroine. She wished now that she had not seen the play nor the man. Way down in the depths of her nature something had stirred. Was it the play or was it the man beside her whose personality seemed to have overpowered her? Whatever it was Millicent waited with rapidly beating heart for his return. The light went down and she began to think he was not coming. "How perfectly ridiculous and silly of me to feel this way." She laughed scornfully at herself and ended with wistful eyes. Against her will she turned toward the back of the theater. Yes he was standing there. A moment later he came down and took his seat beside her. The last act was drawing to a close when resolution suddenly became apparent in Millicent. The color crept slowly up to the shadows beneath her eyes and her lips smiled. With a very gentle almost unfelt movement she leaned near the big man and slipped her hand through his arm. A sudden hungry little jerk was all the reward her efforts brought forth. He did not turn his head but Millicent watched his jaw set. A moment later her fingers closed over the ring that dangled from his watch chain. Still the man remained as if carved in stone. Millicent struggled softly with the elap that held tight to the chain and finally the ring was in her own hands. The big diamond flashed in the semi-darkness of the theater and Millicent drew a long breath of contentment. She looked lovingly at the ring for a moment then up into the big man's face. Her voice was only a whisper. "Billy dear—I want my ring back—if you still—love me." In that little eager whisper was all the love that a hungry man longed for and his hand closed swiftly over her own. It was as if he had folded her within his arms.

DIDN'T WANT TO BE HARSH Merchant Simply Had Idea of Doing a Good Turn to the Young Lady Typist. "An old customer of mine from the interior of the state came to town a few days ago," said a Philadelphia wholesaler, "and after leaving his order for the goods he asked the privilege of sitting down to my desk to write a letter. I took him to one of the typists and told her to get his letter up in good shape, and the two worked over it for half an hour. Then the man came back to me with his letter in his hand and said: "Mr. Blank, this typewriting business is a great thing." "Yes." "And that's a fine girl who did the work for me." "Yes!" "She made her fingers go like lightning." "Yes, she is very speedy." "Seemed to be perfectly willing to oblige." "A very nice girl, indeed, and I hope that she'll get on. In fact, I want to put in a word for her.' "That's kind of you. What is it?" "Tell her, he said, as he glanced over his shoulder, 'that if she'll pay a little more attention to her spelling she'll come out at the top of the heap. Tell her in a way not to hurt her feelings?"

THORPE AGAIN WINNER. James Thorpe, the Indian who won the decathlon and pentathlon events at the Olympic games, won the all-around amateur championship at Celtic park, New York, on Labor day, with a total of 7,476 points, 91 points better than the record made by Martin Sheridan three years ago. He won seven of the ten events and came second in the three remaining. In the running high jump Thorpe cleared the bar at a new mark in the all-around class with a leap of 6 feet 1-18 inches. His other winning marks were: One hundred yard dash, 10-3:5; putting 16 pound shot, 44 ft. 3½ ins.; 120 yd. high hurdles, 16:2-5; throwing 26 pound weight, 26 ft. 2 ins.; running broad jump, 23 ft. 3 ins., then won the mile run in 5 minutes and 26 seconds.

The Latest News About Your Friends and Acquaintances Who Are Under the Physicians Care. Mrs. Maude Stewart, ill at 3600 Wabash avenue, has greatly improved this week. New Violins and Old. A contest took place in Paris which seems to vindicate the contention that modern violins are as good in tone as those of ancient make. A number of violins were played in a dark room, and at the end a vote was taken from the musical audience present, with the result, says a Paris correspondent, that the finest violin was' judged to be a Belgian instrument dated 1912; the second was a French 1911 violin, and not until the third came a Stradivarius, valued at more than £3,000. For years the Brown had planned a European trip, but every year something happened to prevent their getting away. First the children were ill and then Mrs. Brown invited guests for a short time, who stayed several months, preventing the Brown, by the dwindling of the bank account, from going abroad that year. Thus things went on. Finally Brown declared as an absolute certainty that Europe would see them the following year. All their friends were notified and everything was done to make it impossible for their trip to be prevented. When all was ready, however, Brown was ordered by his firm to secure a particularly desirable contract at any cost. It meant a lot to the firm and to Brown, but it also meant months of uniring effort—effort that could not be put forth in Europe. Brown, however, had made his vow and he refused to let his business interfere with his family's plans. The family could go to Europe even if he couldn't. They had relatives abroad, and, besides, he could send them with a party. He so packed them on the train and looked as cheerful as possible when it pulled out. When he left home, however, he began to realize how lonesome it was there. It got on his nerves finally and he resolved to board during his bachelorhood. So he moved to a hotel. Then the thought came to him to rent his house for the months that it would be vacant unless he vened it. There was no earthly use in letting it stand and gather dust, which was the same as throwing away a goodly sum of money each month. Some one would be only too glad of the opportunity to live in a, well furnished house in a fashionable suburb, with all the benefits of the Brown's home comforts. Some one, no doubt, was searching eagerly for such an opportunity. So Brown hastened to advertise the treat in store for some one. The number of replies he received was highly gratifying to him. After picking out the letter written on the best appearing stationery he clinched the bargain over the telephone. Of course, the tenants refused to pay nearly what he thought his house was worth, but on reflection he concluded that they were really caretakers for him who would look after his property generally. He even began to feel under obligations to them for their willingness to take his house and he urged them to make themselves perfectly at home, assuring them that everything in the house was theirs to use as they desired. When he hung up the receiver he heaved a sigh of relief and content. He needn't even think of the house again until his family were about to return. It was really a great idea of his to have some one take care of the property for him; now he could devote his entire time to the task of getting that important contract. It was about a week later that over the telephone he listened to a very indignant feminine voice commanding his immediate presence at his home. Fearing no less calamity than a fire, Brown hastened to catch the first train to the familiar suburb. "What's the matter?" he asked of the woman who opened the door after he had established his identity. "Why," she replied, without inviting him in, "I wanted to ask you where I can find the potato knife and the carving set. And when you rented us this place you gave us to understand that it was completely furnished! Well, ever since we moved in we've been unable to find things we ought to have! There are no oyster forks nor individual butter knives! And the table linen is a disgrace—we could never invite guests to dine with us with such linen! "And the water froze the first night we were here, so we had to have a plumber, and that was $7. He says your drains are in a terribly insatiable condition, and if we get typhoid we shall certainly charge our doctor bills to you! You've no business advertising a perfect home--it's getting money under false pretenses! "We've had to buy lots of little things. Your brooms are dreadful, and some of your kitchen utensils were absolutely worn out. We'll just take the cost out of the rent--for, of course, the things will belong to the house." Brown had ceased to listen. He was contemplating the gown worn by his tenant—a dainty house dress of Mrs. Brown's. His wife had left much of her wardrobe at home, he knew. In the doorway, to receive the first footprints of the incomers, was the Brown's most valuable rug, treasured as very gold! He wondered what might lie beyond his vision! He stuttered helplessly, trying to express his dissatisfaction, but the glare of righteous indignation in his tenant's eyes rendered him inarculate. "All the rent for the first month is already paid out," said the woman. "When the plumber's bill comes in shall we send it to you, or shall we pay it out of next month's rent?" "There—there won't be another month to explode. Brown, turning on his heel to prevent himself from making further unseemly remarks, as he stamped along the street he recalled that the objectionable occupants of his home had a lease to fortify them against his wrath—Chicago Dally News.

Had Its Inception When Two Rival Gypsies Fought Over Girl. St. Joseph, Mo.-Built upon the unmarked grave of a murdered wooper, a little house stands upon a lonely knoll near Saxon station, seven miles east of St. Joe, Mo., a thing accursed and shunned by those who know its history. They fear the baleful influences which are said to surround it. During the 12 years it has been standing eight lives have been blotted out by violent means, illness and ill fortune have followed the advent of ten tenants, the crops have failed, while on neighboring arms prospered and on a number of minutes has dogged the footsteps of those who have braved the place and its curse. The curse that hangs over the place began before the house was built. It had its inception when two young gypsies, rivals for the hand of a daughter of the tribe, fell out over their love affairs and fought. The vanquished one stole up behind his sleeping rival that night and plunged a knife into his back. Then he went to the king of the band and confessed what he had done. Whatever the motive which inspired the king—whether his heart was with the murderer or whether he did not want an investigation by the authorities—he ordered that the body of the slain man be taken to the knoll near by and buried. It was years later that Christopher Schroer, a young farmer, building the house to shelter the wife whom he soon proposed to take, looked down from the roof he was shingling to see standing at the foot of his ladder an aged gypsy crone. She expressed a desire to tell his fortune. "The fates are unkind," said the gypsy dolefully, shaking her head. "You are soon to be married. You dream of a long life ahead. You think to gather with your children and grandchildren about this place. But in your hand I see naught but trouble. Your dreams will not come true. You will meet a death of violence, and your widow will be left to mourn alone." "Get out with your bad-luck tales," said Schroers and laughed again. "I read a-truly," said the gypsy. "The house that you build shall be a house of ill luck. Beneath one of the trees that shades it there lies a body—one of my own tribe who was buried there by the hands of his friends. His spirit cries out for vengeance and THE HISTORY OF THE HOME House on Which Curse Rests. a peaceful, hallowed grave. Until this is accomplished there shall be no rest for those who live here." Schroers returned to his work whistling. If he ever thought of the gypsy woman's prophecy he did not mention it to the girl he soon married and took to live in the new house. A few months later, returning from St. Joseph one night, Schroers allowed his wagon to tarry a moment too long on the railway crossing almost in front of his own gate. They picked up his mangled body a hundred feet away, and the wreck of his wagon was scattered along the right of way. Tragedy has marked the place ever since. FIND OPIUM IN MAIL BAGS $5,000 Worth Found in One on a Pacific Liner-U. S. Office to Probe Japan Ports. Honolulu.-Smugglers of opium in their efforts to circumvent the customs authorities at American ports have been using mallbags as carriers of the contraband. Discovery of this method taken by the smugglers was made sometime ago, but has been kept secret while an investigation was under way. On a steamer, which arrived at Honolulu from the Orient on August 8, a mallbag was found which, instead of containing letters, was stuffed with $5,000 worth of opium. Either mallbags long have been surreptitiously used for this purpose by collusion between postal employees here and at some Oriental port, or the bag has been opened aboard the steamer during the voyage, its mall matter destroyed and the tins of opium substituted. Assistant United States Attorney General Gordon went from here to Japan, and it is said his mission is to extend the investigation to Japanese ports. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER GIRL CAPTURED BY BRIGANDS FINDS HERO BY JOHN PHILIP ORTH. Miss Clare Benson had the pony and phaeton brought around to the door of her father's house in Bellville that she might take a drive down the Shady Beech road. 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 a horse; a woman always gives him a 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 sit 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 a chipmunk ran along the ground before her and dived into his burrow. "Poor thing—he shall not smother down there because he fears me!" exclaimed the tender-hearted girl as she rose up and looked around for help. In a 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 were rough clothes; they had long half; their whiskers were black as the ace of spades and matted with leaves. "Seize her and to horse!" shouted the leader. Miss Claire was duly seized. She wanted to stop and explain about that suffering, suffocating chlpunk, 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!" And then there were whoops from the bushes across a creek, and the reports of firearms from all around, and Miss Claire was hustled further. That is, the leader mounted his cayuse and she was grabbed and hoisted on the beast started off on a run for life. "After 'em, hovai!" Miss Claire only partly lost consciousness. It was a wild ride up and down hills—across meadows and through thickets, and she prayed that the sheriff's party would not fall. It was wonderful how very quickly that suffering chipnump was forgotten. At length justice prevailed, as it always 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 apiece and then the leader's horse gave a stumble and a groan and fell to breathe his last. Nobody hurt in the fall—merely bounced some more. Behind the carcass knelt the last and the most desperate of the brigands and emptied his guns at the advancing foe 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 position. "Who are you, and how did 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 late in getting here. Nice sort of a thing you've done!" Miss Claire recovered her dignity, and as the "sherif" stepped forward and raised his hat she demanded in turn: "Sir, will you explain this outrage?" "I'll try to, miss, and beg your pardon a thousand times over. We are moving picture actors, and are out here acting a play for a reel. 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 so, Mr. Aldrich?" The brigand leader had doft hat, wig and whiskers and laid aside his guns and bandler, and he now appeared as a fine looking young man. With a bow and a smile he said: "It's my fault, and I can't hope to be forgiven. I think you tried to make an explanation, but it was too late then. Our cue was out and we had to hustle. You were in the woods to gather flowers?" His query reminded Miss Claire of that poor chippunk, and she forgot all else temporarily and cried out: "Some one must come with me at once! There's a poor little animal dying back there!" With her hand in Mr. Aldrich's they hastened back to the woods with scarcely a word between them, and presently arrived at the tragic spot. When the chimpmunk business had been explained the young man sat down on a log and laughed. It was three months later when Mr. Benson felt it his duty to say: "Claire, I could never give my consent to your marrying an actor." "Oh, he went into the coffee trust long ago!" Good for Business. "Every man in your office is in love with the stenographer." "What of it?" "I wouldn't have that sort of thing going on." "Why should I object? Not a man has lost a day this year. Not even baseball attracts them." "Well, I'm going to submit the question to a referendum consisting of her two sisters and her parents." Bettie Brown was sitting in the porch swing doing nothing when the postman brought the letter. These were Bettie's two greatest occupations; sitting and doing nothing. She usually combined the two. Her pretty face resolved itself into a veritable Interrogation mark, when she saw that the handwriting was Bob Taylor's. "Why, I haven't heard from him for five years," she exclaimed, "not since he went to the Philippines after our quarrel; What can he have to say?" Tearing open the envelope she read: "Manila, May 25th. 'My Dear Bettie:' "Should there be any change in my plans I shall communicate with you at once. Do not make an effort to answer this letter for I shall be en route. "Yours sharply." "Robert Taylor." After Bettle had read the letter twice she fell into a reminiscent mood. "Dear old Bob," she soliloquized, "how good it is to hear from you! And so you have something to say to me! I was ready to forgive and forget the next day, if you had only asked, for I loved you and still do. "Of course I shall wear the blue dress. I'll—no, I can't either! I haven't had it on since he left! I began to take on flesh that same year. I wethed a hundred and ten when he saw me last and now—well, I know those last scales must have been wrong, for they made it a hundred and forty-eight! "Goodness gracious, what shall I do? I can't begin to get it on and—my slim, willowy figure! That's what I get for sitting around so much and taking no exercise. And I remember that he hated fat girls! I will wear that dress!" Immediately she constituted herself a committee of ways and means. "Just five weeks in which to take off thirty-eight pounds!" she said. The next morning at breakfast Bettie's father was full of trouble. "I thought when I built this house, that I was putting up one of the most substantial residences in the town," he complained; "but last night, whenever a car passed, I distinctly felt it tremble, sometimes for as long as two minutes. And once it was shaken to its very foundations! I'm going to get the builder to come over, as soon as he can, to make an examination." That evening Bettle's mother had something equally interesting to relate. Several times during the day she Mad thought she felt earthquake shocks, but upon looking out had seen only a calm and peaceful summer scene that did not reveal the slightest tendency to disturbances of this character. Even Bobby was 'disturbed. He came running down stairs one morning a few days later, exclaiming: "Mom, this house is hounded.

You refuse preserves and cake, you won't take sugar in your tea, and you don't eat enough to keep a bird alive. You're actually getting thin and peaked! Why girl, you don't look like yourself; you've fallen away so much that your clothes are ever so much too big for you. Now what is it?" "Oh nothing!" answered Bettie. "Yes there is. There's something wrong with you," replied her mother "You needn't try to conceal it any longer. Either you are sick or in love.

A planter com- [piatnea of the Iaziness of the natives jand the prestidigitator tried an exper liment. He assembled a dozen of the natives, mumbled some words over a jgreen cocoanut, sliced the nut and ex- [tracted a bright sovereign from the Mnside. He explained that his mystical chant was Wecessary to produce the eon; but he*was quite willing to say the whole $40,000 on one race. Strange to way, he won $80,000. Despite the warning and caution of Dr. Bolte he bet $70,000 on another race and won again, at even money. Dr. Bolte’s eyes ahnost bulged out of his head. Millionaire Walsh sauntercd over to the cashier to collect his $140,000. “Sorry,” sald the cashier, “but we will have to investigate that $20,000 check before we pay your bet.” ‘Mr. Walsh was much put out, He took Dr. Bolte und the planter over in the corner and confided in them. “That blamed check is not good,” he informed them. “There 18 only $6,000 back of it. I have got to get it back before they look it up. If you fellows can lend me enough to take it up I will pay you $20,000 bonus aplece.” Planter Sims produced $500 in cash and a check for $12,000. Dr. Bolte, ‘thinking of what he could do with ‘that $20,000 in gay Paree and in the coneert halls of Vienna, could not con- tribute his $500 and his check quick enough. Millionaire Walsh put in a cheek for $6,000, representing his actu- al cash balance. ‘The dangerous overdrawn check was withdrawn, “But,” said the cashier, “of course, you must wait until we have heard from these checks. ‘That will take a week Dr. Bolte is still waiting, 1S THAT) EA) $0 = i, oe as and I simply won't wear them on3 lower.” The attendant took one hasty slance and explained that it was the small, dainty heel that did the mos damage to the links, especially when the rain had softened the grounds. ‘The “common-sense” heel, as the at tendants insisted on calling it, despite feminine pouts und frowns and “I just don’t cares,” is not lable to do any damage, while any other kind will eut up the turf, So it was that many were angrs when turned away from the grounds, but a glance at the sign convinced them that their only recourse was tc the cobbler.

Report Probably] Will Not Be Present- ed to Congress at Thle Session as Committees Desire Ample Time & Consider Provisions. Washington—The gencral staff of the United States army has completed {ts plans for an entire reorganization and Increase of this country's military establishment, a work upon which it has been busy over sinco it was form- ed some years ago, Although tho re- port containing these plans fe now In type it probably|will not be presented to congress at this session, owing to the fact that mbmbers of the senate and house comniittees on military al- fatrs desire ample timo In which to consider all thp provisions recom- mended by the general staff. Among those most activ in the conferences on these plans jare Senator Root of New York, formerly secretary of war, and Senator DyPont of Delaware. chafrman of the|senate committee on milltary affairs. | The plan for the reorganization of the army as drawa up by the general staff Is declared|by experts to be the most important, and comprehensive piece of constructive work along these Mnes ever perfotméa in this country. It 1s also rogarded as marking the first schematic: military polley yet drawn up for the land forces of the United States. While some of its do- tails havo been embodied in congres- sional bills or letters of the secretary of war, the fort has never been made publte in iis enttrety. The great: object sought to be gained is the organization of the army on a footing of constant readi- ness for war, with a permanent ex- peditionary force always ready for tn- stant service. In order to ensure this result {t {s recommended that the forces Mable for duty anywhere be increased about jseven times. In the regular farmy the highest pro- posed unit of organization is ralsed and the mobile! branches, which in- clude all arms oxcept the coast artil- lery, are divided Into two parts, the foreign and the domestice. ‘The do- mestle service 1s to be kept per- manently in continental United States, while the foreign service is to be sent to American territory elsewhere, to remain, as an organization, outside of this country for good. In addition to a proposal making, for the federalization, within constitutton- al lmits of the present national state guard, the general staff also asks for the creation of two new types of American soldier; namely, the federal reservist and tho federal volunteer, the latter to be recruited in time of peaco for war service and held re sponsible only to the central govern- ment. ‘The general staff also recommends that the present regular army be ro- Meved of police duties in Alaska, and suggests that peace be preserved in that district by @ federal constabulary to bo legislated into existence by con- ‘gress. If this suggestion becomes law, the United States will have, for ‘the first timo In Its history, a police ‘toree owing Its authority directly to the federal government, In outlining the importance of this ‘reorganization the general staff points out that the land forces of the United States are now in no condition to face the armies of a first-class power, and malntains that the necessity for this country so to preparo itself fs Imme- diate and imperative. “Whatever our military institutions may de,” says the report, “we must ‘recognize the fundamental fact that [rletory Is reward of superior force, ‘that motern wars sto short and de- elsive ‘nnd that ¢rained armies alone am defeat trained avminn* NEGRO HAS HOUSE FLOOR PRIVI LEGE.

Mr. Chureh’s life reads like a page torn from fiction. He was born a slave, his first position was as a cabi boy on a Mississippi steamboat. F¥oin that he rose to the mastery of 2 fortime estimated at more than a muiltion dollars. He came to Memphis years ago, uncommon thrift with a keen insight and a keen business ability qufekly made him the fore- most man of his race in Tennessee. He was always true to his race, his Word was his bond. In latter years When’ he was most prominent the dominant race endeavored to have Uhm enjoy special privileges. But he always refused. At ono time his rooly | was: “Bly people can't endoy the shme street car service that you ~promlse-mer then Willrkie: in the part; assigned to them." He came to Memphis from Holly Springs, Miss. For a while he worked around the livery stables here and later le went into the saloon busi ness, Here he got his start. His savings were gradually invested in real estate, one purchase followed another. He saw with a prophetic eye a great city and he knew that some day his property would be valuable. He rarely if ever sold. Conservative estimates are that he left between 20) and 300 houses in various parts ‘of Memphis. The bulk of them are in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards. Monthly Income of $6,000. According to one in authority, his amenthly ineome from his rentals ‘amounted to $6,000 alone. He owned 8 subdivision of 135 acres on the Raleigh car line east of Memphis and was founder and first president of the ‘Solvent Savings Hank and Trust Com- pany, the first Negro financial instt- tution of the city. Church's Park on Beale avenue is also his property. ‘Though no unusual deeds of char -ity or munificence are credited to him yet it is known that he was a char- itablé ‘nian. he lived simply, many @ inan In the ostentatious display of luxury. He went about his work quietly and kept a poise that marked him as a man of extraordinary ‘com- ‘mon sense, ‘The Inte John Overton, John Gaston and the late Gol, Josiah Patterson were his friends. ‘Sid M, Nevly was his closest advisor. When the Confederate reunion was held in Memphis ten years ago he gave $1,000 to help entertain the old sol- dlrs. In making the donation he ‘said that the Confederates had been bia friends. .

This tale, bearing the title “Actcarlus,” fo found in an ancient African manv- seript. It was written about 600 B. C. ‘The tale ts referred to by the author of the Book of Tobias, and later tt appears in a modified’ form in the Arabian Nights, The manuscript bas been restored by a German transla- tor, who gives an entertaining synop- sia of its contents: “The wise Achikar ts the vizler of the king Sinacherlb and his son Asurachiddin, He J extraordinarily rich, but has no son. When he com- plains of this to the gods he recelves the advice to adopt his nephew Nadan In place of « son, He follows the ad: vice and instructs Nadan in all wis: dom—the romance gives his precepts in detall—and then commends his tos tergon to the king as bis own suc- cessor.

Nadan is deposed and brought in chains before Achikar, who has him incarcerated and fed on bread and water. Meanwhile he daily re- gales him with intellectual sustenance fn the. shape of stories and tables which are packed with both worldly wisdom and spiritual edification. This Is ospecially Interesting because it re- calls the plan of the anclent Sanskrit collection of instructive tales known as the Hitopadesa, “The wretched Nadan takes the treatment very ill. Overcome with anger and chagrin—and possibly en- bul—he “swells up and bursts"! “This Mietory was widely known In the Orient and was piously com- mented on by the writer of the Book ot Tobiae as follows: “* Behold, my son, how Nadab (Na- dan) dealt with Achikar, that he brought him alive into a dungeon un- der the earth. But God recompensed him for his sorrow. He came again unto. the light and Nadab went hence dates abarcnt Aeonaen®o. RESIGNS AS STAGE DRIVER Miss of Stockbridge, Mass.

Some, however, object: ed to these conditions and were al lowed to remain, with the understand. ing that they were to lve peaceably and surrender all fugitive slaves This was unsatisfactory to the Geor- glans, who demanded that the Indians be removed by force, An attempt to do this in 1835 precipitated the second Seminole war, which lasted seven years and which {s sald to have been the bloodiest Indian war in American history.
