Funeral services leading up to the interment of the remains put every minute of the time on her death at Provident hospital early Thursday morning.

The complete story he obsoides attending the death wife of Champion Jack John-sust be told in detail. At the Johnson Home. thist Psalm as an introduction to the sermon by the pastor, Rev. Robinson, entitled "Hope Thou in God." Everyone present realized the earnestness of the minister, his sermon was strictly religious, but it was forcible and plainly showed the need of the Christian religion to all the people. No doubt the fact that the Johnson sons were members of his church lent feeling to the divine, for although the sermon was short it marked one of the most eloquent efforts of this clergyman. Solemnity was evident in every move of the pastor and the writer is certain that a tear dimmed his eyes once or twice during the services. Prayer was offered by Rev. Scott, pastor of the C. M. E. church. Singing—The Choir and the Solisters. "Nearer My God to Thee" and other appropriate hymns were rendered by the choir. Mrs. Washington feelingly sang "Lead Kindly Light" and Mrs. Ada Banks-Davis sang "La Pranolless." The family and friends then viewed the remains, the champion tenderly kissing his wife farewell. Interment was in Graceland cemetery. Understater Daniel Jackson with a number of assistants had the funeral in charge. The casket was called a state casket, of French gray with handles and name plate of solid silver. It was completely covered by a blanket of flowers, the gift of the bereaved husband, and bore the inscription, "From husband to Etta, gone but not forgotten." In Paragraph, But Pertinent. The pall bearers were both white and colored men. There were six of them as follows: M. Mervin, Henry Sterrett, Thos. Clark, John T. Scott, Edw. Holland and Edw. B. Arns. At the church were the following ushers: R. W. Tollison, Peter Kelley, W. B. Williams, A. H. Richie, J. C. Peters and John M. Thompson. The Johnson home where the remains lay in state is admirably laid out. The casket lay in the front parlor, the many floral designs forming a solid and complete background. The pictures and other ornaments were draped in white, reviving a very old custom in funerals. Every daily newspaper in the city had a reporter there. They entirely filled a large touring car. The Chicago Defender representative was included in the list. The detail of mounted police, hastily called when the crowd became so great at the church, did duty for the first time outside of the "loop district." The 50th and State Street police station, only a block away, even had to call out their reserve force. Every conceivable shape was to be found in the floral offering. Friends from far and near, social and other organizations, all sent expressions of sympathy in flowers. They were not displayed at the church, the three autos containing them being placed in a conspicuous place on the corner. Jack Curley, the fight promoter, was in charge of the funeral arrangements. Conspicuous in throng at the house were Mr. and Mrs. Henry (Teenan) Jones. The police detail at the house was in charge of Sergt. Crotty of the Stanton Avenue station, while Sergt. Nugent of the 50th and State Street station had charge of the police at the church. At Graceland cemetery there was another strong, mostly white people living in the neighborhood. The body was placed in a vault. One of the caretakers, who has been employed by the cemetery for thirty-four years, remarked that he had never seen a larger or a better conducted funeral, nor so many beautiful floral designs. As we go to press' word comes of the death of Hon. Fredk. L. McGhee at his home in St. Paul, Minn., Thursday night. A full report of his life and death will be published in our next issue. --- By J.

The Chicago Defender published all facts in the sad death of Mrs. Johnson in its last issue up to the end of the inquest Thursday afternoon. Later that evening Underaker mild Jackson conveyed the remains the Johnson home, 3344 Wabash Avenue. From that time thousands people besieged the house and the streets in a foetic endeavor view the corpse. All day Friday morning but the early hours of at night additional thousands sought admission. It was the morbid curious, the friends of the family viewed the remains in private and conversed with the bereaved husband and the family. Early Saturday Morning. As early as 8 a.m. Saturday, a crowd gathered around the Johnson home although the services were not announced until 11 a.m. When the police detail arrived from the Stanton Avenue station the crowd had grown to a thousand, by 11 a.m. it had been multiplied by ten. A prayer by Rev. Jan W. Robinson comprised the simple services at the house. Jack stood at the head of the casket with his mother-in-law on his arm. Both bowed to the corpse. Jack kissed his wrist and the casket was closed. The and taker marshaled the mourners in 11 a.m. and the trip to the church on the avenue was the route was lined with people, all automobile funeral, tos of flowers led, to significant auto hearse cars of mourners.

St. Mark's M. S. avenue, and 50th 50th street, was surrounded by a crowd of people who had heard that the services were to be held there despite the published report that it would be at St. Monica's Roman Catholic church, 36th and Dearborn streets. Father Morris, priest in charge of this church, had given Mrs. Johnson extreme unction on her death bed, hence the misleading report. A crowd gathered there also, but many found their way later to St. Mark's. The Fundal Procession Arrives. Amid untold difficulties with the vast crowd the funeral cortege arrived at the church. Space had been reserved for them. Rev. John W. Robinson led the mourning line to the altar and the services actually began. The church was only filled to its seating capacity. There was no confusion inside. Although the edifice is small one, there was no standing in its atles, every church and choir member and every mourner was comforably seated. The church ushers are commended for the church arrangements were ideal. Consequent Religious Discourse. Jon J. C. Peters read the Nine The Chicago Defender. FREDK. L. McGHEE DEAD. CHICAGO, ILL.. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1912. 2,000 CHIDREN OUT OF SCHOOL MUST PAY TO ENTER. Georgia Rural School District Wants Negro Board of Trustees—White Superintendent Charges $2.00 Per Head for Pupils in Defiance of Laws. Albany, Ga., Sept. 20.—Last year during school times conditions were hard. The season demanded its severest toll and many were the privations. The most serious question is the school question, which is an all important one in this section. There is no Negro board of trustees and the interest of Negro pupils has no attention. We have a school head but he has no productive voice for good in the council. The reigning head of the present school system demands $2.00 per head for each Negro child that attends school. How plausible was his plan is evidenced by last year's record. During the winter there were 2.000 Negro children out of school. The white children who only number 1 to 10 attended school regularly. Their rooms were large and comfortable, while the children of color were hudled in cold halls, with 100 pupils to each teacher and their parents were charged $2.00 in advance for each child. The women, the mothers as usual, were the most concerned. How they paid their rent, bought groceries and paid their children's tuition is a problem for the majority of them are cooks and only earn $6.00 per month. The attention of the Southern Educational Board is called to the deplorable school conditions in this section, and the surplus funds of Hampton and Tuskegee could be used to advantage. STRANGE ROBBER IN THE MECCA BUILDING. Burglar Displays Taste But Overlook a Valuable Kimona-Had Knowledge of Victim's Wardrobe. Some time between 8:30 and 11 o'clock Wednesday, night a burglar entered flat 101 the Mecca building and robbed Mrs. Lena Johnson of a big cane pin, one blue serge suit, ten dollars in money and other wearing apparel. The intruder was a very discerning one for the blue serge suit (a stunning one) hung in a closet containing six others. In their haste they overlooked a handsome kimona worth $30.00. Mrs. Johnson culdn't even find her shoes. The foxy thief put a chair on the outside of the window that was supposed to have been used in entering to throw the police off. But it was a weak ruse for there was not a mark in the dust on the window sill, and it is now supposed that some one in the building did the stealing. Everybody is on the lookout for this nobby blue suit. CHICAGO DEFENDER AID TO MARRY. Miss Mary V. Parham, Office Manager, Falls Victim to Cupid—Wedding Sept. 26. Miss Mary V.

Odd Fellows Close Large Meeting But Factional Strife Is Still Bitter. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 20.—The sixteenth biennial session of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows is over. It was one of the largest meetings in the history of the order, but the sessions have been enlivened by factional strife. The three cornered fight between Grand Master Edward H. Morris, Ben Davis, who aspired to that office, and Henry P. Slaughter, editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal, is still most bitter. So boisterous were some of the sessions that only the presence of the police prevented serious trouble. THE LATE MRS. ETTA JOHNSON.

Mr. Benjamin Byron, one of the famous musical Byrons, is confined at Provident hospital suffering with a broken leg, the result of an accident while riding his motorcycle Friday afternoon last. Mr. Byron was riding west on 31st street and when near Michigan avenue, to avoid a collision with an automobile that suddenly turned in from the north, he steered his machine into the curb. The motorcycle struck a Chicago railway sign, the kind with the red ball at the top, and so great was the contact the pole was bent. The machine overturned with Mr. Byron underneath it. A Chicago Defender reporter assisted him from the wreckage, called an ambulance and had him conveyed to the hospital. His leg was broken above the knee cap and he sustained other bruises. In an interview later he said, "Yes, I am pretty badly hurt, and I feel somewhat to blame for the accident myself. I knew it was Friday the 13th before I started out. Yes, I was surely hoodooed."

Champion Secures Injunction From Superior Court Preventing Over- zealous Theater Managers From Displaying Scenes at His Wife's Funeral. Monday afternoon Champion Jack Johnson, with the sorrow of his wife's death and funeral still fresh in his mind, again displayed his keen business and acumen and put to route some more of his foes. The proprietors of the Pekin theater, over-zealous to give "The Stroll" something new, had arranged to give their patrons pictures of the funeral. Flaring signs announced the fact, but Mr. Johnson thought otherwise. Early that afternoon he went before Judge William F. Dever in the Superior court and obtained a temporary injunction against Thomas Chamales Frank Halgnt, owners of the Pekin theater, and C. R. Lundgren, said to be the manufacturer of the pictures. The champion furnished bonds to the amount of $500. He then went to the office of Chief of Police McWeeny, who gave orders prohibiting the display of the pictures. THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION DISGRACES ITSELF Chicago's Leading Jewish Newspaper Censures Organization for Discriminating Against Negro Lawyers. The American Bar Association, which held its meeting at Milwaukee last month, has disgraced itself by the adoption of a resolution against the admission of colored lawyers as members. As the American Bar Association is a purely professional organization, and in no sense a social club, this action is calculated to give one pause and to show how weak is the sense of justice, even among those who are regarded as ministers of justice, when it is opposed to their social and racial prejudices. It is to be hoped that after a mature deliberation the American Bar Association will see its way to annul this action. —Editorial In The Chicago Israelite, Sept. 14. MR. C. T. WHITE RETURNS HOME Vancouver's Most Prominent Citizen Returns From Several Months' Visit in the States. Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 16.—Mr. C. T. White arrived home on Wednesday last after spending several months in Chicago and other western cities. Mr. White tried to promote a summer excursion from Chicago to the Pacific coast and return but abandoned it when he could not get proper dining car service for his guests.

LOUIS A Blue-Blooded Anglo-Saxon Gradually Assumes the Hue of a Negro—Fifty Physicians Unable to Offer a Remedy for Remarkable Disease—The Entire Medical World in Consternation Over This Baffling Freak of Nature—Great Fear That if Medical Science Will Not Cure, Chagrin Will Cause Death. "CAN'T GET A WHITE MAN'S JOB AGAIN." Victim of Mysterious Malady Bemoans Fate, While Experts Look Helplessly On—His First illness Considered Trivial—Country Doctors Alleviate His Pains But Turn Pale Themselves When He Turns Black—Complexion Specialist Only Salvation—Chemists of Several "Beauty Wash" Concerns to Confer on a Formula for This Strange Cae. Afflicted by a mysterious malady which has baffled more than fifty St. Louis physicians who have been called in consultation, S. A. Hendricks, farmer, 65 years old, of Van Buren, Mo, is turning black at Taylor avenue and West Bello place, says a St. Louis correspondent of the New York press. Five months ago the man's skin was fair and ruddy. Today his complexion is several shades darker than that of a malatto and a rapid change to black is carrying him through successively darker shades. Turns Blacker Every Day. The change is so swift that it can be noted from day to day by the physicians, who are powerless to stop it, or even to find a satisfactory explanation for the strange transformation. When Hendricks was taken to the sanatorium on July 25 last he weighed 100 pounds. His present weight is ninety-five pounds. One thing which puzzles the physicians is Hendricks' spirit and will power, despite his weakened physical condition. He hegs that he be permitted to go out and seek employment. Sometimes, when told that he cannot do this, he smiles and says: "Well, I guess I couldn't get a white man's job anyway. They'd take me for a Negro." County Doctors Turn Pale. His attendants say they are sure any one who was not familiar with his strange pathological history would take him for a Negro, though he came from untainted Anglo-Saxon stock. Five months ago, when at work on his farm, Hendricks felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. This was quickly followed by muscular pains throughout his body. After several sleepless nights he called for a physician. Even then his color had begun to change; from the ruddy glow of health it passed through successive shades of yellow. The country doctors diagnosed his malady as acute billiousness. Their treatment relied the palms, but could not check the darkening of the skin. SEEKS DAMAGES FOR OR PHANS Suit for $10,000 damages was Wednesday filed in the Circuit Court in behalf of Theodore and Siebert Shanklin, 7 and 5 years old, whose mother, Mrs. Bpessie Shanklin, was killed by her husband, Benjamin Shanklin, while under the influence of liquor.

Mcintosh. A reporter for The Chicago Defender found Champion Jack, Johnson at his famous "Cafe de Champion", Thursday night, and his quest for information brought forth the fact "that tired, and after the strain caused by the death and burial of his wife, a change of scenes would be welcome to him."

Of course, the reporter was inter- ested and the letter is printed in full: August 9th, 1912. John Johnson / University Dear Jack:—I am arranging today to post the money, £2000, as requested with the First National Bank of Chicago. I am glad indeed to see you are coming back to Australia, as under the conditions we are boxing here, with a clean break, there is nobody in the world that can put a glove on you. There is no doubt that you will draw tremendous houses, equal I believe to the Burns-Johnson. I am sending you herewith a photo of the Sydney Stadium roofed over, which will give you some idea of the magnity of the place. It rained cats and dogs the light we opened, and it was the third contest between MeVean and Langford, but they drew a very big house indeed. The seating capacity of the stadium, is as you know, 20,000 people, and now that it is roofed, is the largest and best equipped arena in the world. The moment you sail I will engage a furnished house for you, near the sea, and tell Mrs. Johnson that I am making every arrangement for her social reception. As you know Jack, there are no social restrictions here and Mrs. Johnson will be well received by all the leading people, with whom I feel sure, she will make a great hit. Everybody is talking of the wonderfully easy manner in which you defecated Flynn, and all your old friends of Tattersall's Club are organizing a Tug to meet you on your arrival. You need have no fear about the police interference as everything is satisfactorily arranged, and they are all very anxious to see you. For the love of heaven do not miss this boat as you have already cost me some thousands of pounds by your last non-arrival, and I want to see you arrive and box your two last matches here with me. I think you can make enough money in these two fights to retire the only undefeated Heavyweight Champion of the World. Give my kindest regards to Mrs. Johnson, and believe me to be. Your true friend. HUGH D. McINTOSH. P. S.—Bring all your cars. ROSS-CROSS NUPTIAL AT HIGH NOON A Beautifulij Wedding at the Home of Mr, and Mrs, G. D. Seames, Sept. 11. A beautiful home wedding was solemnized at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Seames, 3249 Forest avenue, Wednesday, Sept. 11, at high noon, when Miss Rachel E. Ross of Natzhec, Miss., and Mr. James H. Cross, formerly of Bluedck, W. Va., but now of this city, were made man and wife. The double parlors were thrown wide and to the' strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by Mrs. A. Black, the bridal party entered. First came Mrs. Charles Banks of Mound Bayou, Miss., a lifelong friend of the bride, who acted as matron of honor, and Mr. C. O. Scames, who acted as best man, when the bride, beautifully attired in white not and Irish point lace gown over white satin, carrying a bouquet of bridal roses and ferns, entered, leaning on the arm of Mr. C. P. Booze, and who was given to the groom, who entered from the hallway into the front parlor and stood awaiting the bride. The ceremony was performed by Dr. D. P. Roberts, pastor of Bethel church. The bride is one of the leading lights of Natchez, Miss., being a teacher in the Union Public school for some time, and a young woman of sterling qualities, who has a host of friends and acquaintances who will miss her genial presence. The marriage was a surprise to most of their friends. The groom is a man of excellent qualities, coming from one of the first families of Bluefield, W. Va. A few friends witnessed the affair, among the number being Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Seames, Mr. and Mrs. John Lynch Johnston, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Boyd, Misses C. Ryan and Emmie McLeary, Mesdames R. J. Hine, John Oglesby, J. E. White and L. T. Miller of Yazoo City, Miss.; Messrs. A. B. and C. Whitlock, J. Hutchings, A. L. Turner, B. J. Boll and Maj. John R. Lynch. Mr. and Mrs. Cross are at 3249 Forest avenue. WITH THE YOUNGER SET. Lee Tobin, the ambitious young man who held the position of Past Grand Master of the Sons of Rest for so many months, has resigned. Lee says there was no salary attached to the position, which accounts for his giving it up. Farrell Jones, who spent the summer at one of the leading resorts for his health, said while he was greatly benefited he did not leave for home until all the other guests had left as he thought some one might take exceptions. Will Kelly says his collection of rag time music, which he collected during the summer months, will surpass any similar collection ever collected. Instead of Rag Time Willie, he will be known as Willie, the King of Rag Time—Reno. OBJECTED TO THE "PEALING" Two Hours of Music of Bells Too Much for the Citizens of Stald Old Boston Boston—When every Sunday morning we hear the bells calling from the church towers of the city an invitation to worship God according to the Biblical mandate, "forsake not the assembling of yourselves together," very few people know that those brazen tongues are not only reminding men of their religious obligations, but of the survival of an instrument of music the origin of which is lost in antiquity. Walking down one of Boston's fashionable streets on a Sunday morning the wayfarer, listening to the clanging from various quarters, some sweet and clear, others harsh and discordant or decidedly out of tune, will wonder THE CHURCH Old English Type of Bell Tower. when they will stop going and why people don't go to church without being "rung in" in this noisy fashion. As a matter of fact, however, a full ring of peals has never been rung in America but once—in Philadelphia in 1855—and a quarter peal only has been rung from the old Christ church tower in Salem street, and from the belly of the Church of the Advent. These two churches are the only ones in Boston possessing a full set of change-ringing bells, as they are called, and these are from English foundries. The full number of peals is 5,040, and when rung for evening service at the old church of Paul Revere fame in Salem street and from the Advent turrets, the neighbors in the districts, who were not antiquarian in their tastes, after two hours of "pealing," sent vehement protests to the sextons of these respective houses of worship that they must stop the noise, for they cannot get the children to bed and the wreathed were threatened to break their windows. Such was the popular feeling in regard to resuscitating a custom that still obtains in England and on the continent—Boston Herald. "PIRATE" HALTED BY LAW Sails Forth With Comrade and Pilfered Provisions, but Unromantic Father Interferes. Centreport, L. I.—The crime of attempted piracy on the high seas led Owen Dennis, twelve years old, commodore of a fleet of three "long, rakish craft"—commonly called rowboats,—to be taken before Justice Laundes here recently. William Dennis, prosperous resident of this township, was complainant against his son. The elder Dennis evidently regards piracy as a profession behind the times and wholly unsuitable to his son. Hence the persistence of the youthful Captain Kildd in sailing that portion of the Spanish Mad lying in Huntington bay is highly displeasing to him. In the unromantic eyes of the law young Dennis is charged with juvenile delinquency, and with being an incorrigible. He confessed his chief aim in life is to lead a career of prudential adventure. With the Jolly Roger, theoretically speaking, flying from the masthead of his flagship, Commodore Dennis and Master Jacob Wheeler, another pirate of tender years, set out in the troubled waters of the bay on Monday last. One of them sat at the oars of the swift vessel, the other rowed the second. A third craft, laden with provisions pilfered from the youngsters' respective homes, was at the end of a towline. No definite plan of campaign had been formulated, Dennis confessed. They simple meant to cruise about until, with cutlass and dirk—or their jackknives—they could board some peaceful merchantman and force her crew to walk the well-known and justly famous plank. No such ship, however, crossed their path, and on Tuesday night, their provisions gone, they found themselves back home. On Thursday, however, Owen again dashed forth in pursuit of the rover's will-o-the-wisp, with the result he faced the law. He will be examined further next week, and may be sent to a reformatory. Wreaths on a Dog's Coffin Paris, France.—M. Aubert, a chemist in the Rue de Canon at Toulon, closed his shop on the occasion of the funeral of his Newfoundland dog. A notice affixed to the door stated that business was suspended for the day "on account of the death of Phoebus, killed by a brute." The coffin was covered by eight beautiful white wreaths with sympathetic inscriptions. The hearse was drawn by two white horses and M. Aubert sat beside the driver. The interment took place on some private property M. Aubert owns near the city gates and was attended by many of his friends, speeches eulogistic of the dog (famous for many lifesaving exploits in the harbor) being delivered over the grae. M. Aubert says the dog was poisoned and has appealed to the police to find the guilty party. MEN OF THE FIRST REPUBLIC Type of the Soldiers With Whom the Great Napoleon -Swept All Europe. Another contribution to "Napoleoniana" is the collection of memoirs and letters of the army surgeon, Baron Desgnettes, who was with the Egyptian expedition. One day he found Eugene Benauharnas asleep in the sand in the desert of Ramanich. "Wake up, Eugene, wake up! This repose does not suit either your name or profession. A man of war must be without rest and without pity." Qn another occasion Napoleon had condemned several of his pet Grenadiers to death for looting and murder. His reflections, made to Desgnettes, are worth quoting: "My sentence on the Grenadiers of the Thirty-second regiment coat/me dear, but I was obliged to do it. A commander-in-chief must have a tremendous power. How can you reasonably question the right of a man to whom the state sometimes entrusts the lives of a hundred thousand troops to punish such serious offenses the Grenadiers fit? I convicted these Grenadiers by being when I seized Antone by the collar and said to him: 'Come, miserable wretch, and let me confront you with your accomplice,' he was confounded. "But what men!—fellowes to win a battle by themselves! Perhaps the corporal has won some. You did not see how they die? Like Caesars, showing their affection for me. One of their comrades went to drink with them in prison, and remarked: 'Perhaps there was some truth in the charge, else Bonaparte would not have condemned you.' Be silent, was the answer; you do not know what you are saying; he was deceived again, as he often has been before, but no matter—let us drink to his health.' And when the time came for the execution, they marched steadily out and stood calmly before the firing party, saying: 'This is how the Grenadiers of the Thirty-second die.' Afterward the officers came to see me, but, faith! I pity those upon whom the Thirty-second may fall on the first occasion that presents itself for them to wipe out the remembrance of all this." Macaroni Fakes. "They even fake macaroni," said a pure food man. "Nothing is cheaper than macaroni, thanks to which Italian bank clerks can live on $4 a week, but in this heightened, money-mad land of ours the food trust millionaires insist on faking it. "But you can tell fake macaroni—it is perfectly straight. The real has bent ends, for it has been dried in hairpin in shape, slung over a rail, and, when it is broken for boxing, the bent ends show. "The real macaroni is made of a semi-transparent wheat from southern Europe and Algeria, a hard wheat extraordinarily rich in gluten and other nitrogenous matter. Real macaroni is tender, yellowish, elastic, rough in texture. It bolls without become sticky or losing its tubular shape. "But the fake stuff, made of cheap domestic wheat, is very tender. Hence it must be dried flat; slung over a rail to dry, it would fall to pieces, and hence its straight shape, its lack of the characteristic curved ends. It is an ugly white, tog, instead of a rich yellow in color. Boll, it is apt to break up and collapse. Eaten, there is little nourishment and less taste to it." Lely the Painter Sir William Lely had agreed for the price of a portrait he was to draw for a rich London alderman, who was not indebted to nature either for shape or face. The picture being finished, the alderman endeavored to beat down the price, saying that if he did not purchase it it would remain on the painter's hands. "That's a mistake," said Sir William, "for I can sell it at double the price I demand." "How can that be?" says the alderman, "for it is like no one but me." but like. "True," replied Sir William, "but I will draw a tail to it and then it will be a capital monkey." The alderman at once paid down the money demanded and carried off the picture. Automobile Artillery Efforts are being made by the powers toward the adaptation of the automobile to the transportation of field artillery. It has been pointed out that the idea of a self-moving gun carriage for field guns was suggested as early as the year 1769 by the engineer, Cugnot. At present efforts are principally directed to the perfection of a form of automobile suitable to take the place of horses in drawing the artillery wagons. Many different forms of ironclad automobiles, carrying light guns, have already been invented and tested, with more or less success, but it is said, the main problem is to adapt the automobile to the transportation of guns mounted, as at present, on their own carriages. Interviewing an Actress The beautiful actress was taking her morning lounge. The maid entered and approached the presence. "Miss Footfiles." "What is it, Lucile?" "A reporter wants to know if it is true that you are engaged to the duke of Centerheld." "Tell him I don't know the duke and give him a photo of myself in street costume. State that I have never met the duke and give him a photo of myself on horseback. State also that I wouldn't marry the duke if I did know him, and give the reporter a photo of myself holding Fido. And this, above all, Lucile." "Yes, miss." "Tell him I am wedded to my art." If you have raccoons in your home, keep a watchful eye on all articles within reach of the animals. They will steal anything from a pocket knife to a diamond ring. Notwithstanding the trouble necessitated by guarding against the mischievous habits of the creatures, they are members of many households. They are fond of milk, and will resort to all sorts of tricks and subterfuge to obtain it. Tales of GOTHAM and other CITIES How Mayor Fitzgerald Picked Out the Right Cow Man Has Warrant Sworn Out for His Own Arrest Naval Recruits' $20 Bills Cause Money Panic THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Tales of GOT other Georgia Copper in New York IVE GOT MON AT AN' IM' A GANGGIA COP NEW YORK.—He turned out to be a policeman from Augusta, Gawgia, but he also closely resembled a walking safety deposit box. He was a money-lined cop all right. He came here several days ago and went to Coney Island. A postal card found in his pocket, which he had forgotten to mail, read: "I am having a great time." Another of a later date had on it: "I am having a h-1 of a time." He came up from Coney the other day, and at 14th street and Broadway he smiled a great deal, danced a bit and was telling a crowd how he was enjoying his stay. Then he met Patrolman Schwartz of the Mercer street station. He flashed his badge on Schwartz, slapped him on the back and became so friendly that Schwartz affably invited him to come around to the "house" and meet Lieutenant Bauer. The Augusta cop accepted the invitation with enthusiasm. There he gave his name as Thomas J. Foster. Bauer said: "I think you had better spend the Night here." BOSTON, Mass.—Mayer Fitzgerald, Daniel J. McDonald of the city council, Andrew R. Kelley, the state committeeman from ward 20, and a host of others interested in the development of the Suffolk School for Boys in Rainesford island, visited that place the other day. First, the excellently equipped and managed shoe shop was inspected, then the gymnasium, the dining hall and the tailor shop in order. The mayor is one who is not given to regretful moods. "To the barn, boys; to the barn," he said. "I want to show you how to milk." "You don't have to show me," said Committeeman Kelley. "Nor me," voiced Councillor McDonald. "Here's a dollar that says that I can show you show you," challenged the mayor. The bets were posted, and then tracks were made for the barn. "A cow for each," said Superintendent Ryan, adding, "make your choice." Each of the contestants picked a cow, but as there was but one pair available it was promptly agreed that each in his turn should have one minute. Committeeman Kelley drew first place, but the cow might have been of wood for all the good it did him. Councillor McDonald, too, labored industriously until time was called, but, beyond a little moisture on his fingers, had no better luck than the GIMME A WARREN FER SAMUEL WILLIAMS S. T. LOUIS. Mo.—A man fighting with himself, going through all the motions of a regular ringside static enc counter and angering his "opponent" to such a white hot rage that he pulls himself into a police station and requests the sergeant to arrest himself, is the unique form of out door sport by which an absent-minded citizen of S. Louis entertained himself the other night. Samuel Williams of East St. Louis is the man and is declared by the police to be insane. On this particular night, Williams was attacked and beaten by a thug. He arrived at Justice Bell's office the next morning much the worse for wear and asked that a warrant be issued for the arrest of a certain person. "Whom do you want to arrest?" asked the justice, looking Williams over with a scrutinizing eye. "I want to jail Samuel Williams, that's who," shouted Williams. "What's the charge?" "I don't know what to charge him with, but I know what he did to me. He attacked me on the street as I was going home and beat me to a pulp just CHIGAGO.—Eighty recruits from the naval training station at Lake Bluff nearly caused a financial panic at highwood and Highland Park the other day. The recruits, each bearing a $20 bill received from the naval station, boarded a Chicago and Milwaukee car in the morning. They were all bound for Chicago, from which city they were to leave for their homes on the seven-day furough. John Hall of Highwood, the conductor, held out a hand invitingly to the first recruit in the car for 35 cents, the fare to Evanston. The recruit pulled up one trouser leg, unbuttoned the flap of a secret pocket and presented the conductor with a $20 bill. "Is that the smallest you have?" asked the conductor. "That's the smallest, the largest and all," said the recruit, "and every one of these eighty men has one just like it." Hall telephoned to the paymaster of loughe the company, who boarded the train abos it. the southerner. "I think I just do that." "Perhaps you'd better let us take care of your money," suggested Bauer, giving Schwartz the signal to search him. "I've got a lot of money, even if I am only an Awgustah cop," he said. But Schwartz, searching his pockets, could only bring forth a $5 bill. It had been thrust far down in the upper outside pocket of his coat. "Is that all your money?" asked Bauer. "I got more 'n' at," declared Foster. Schwartz dug up 74 cents from a trouser pocket. "I've seventy-four isn't much in New York." commented Bauer. "I got more 'n' at," announced Foster. Sure enough, Schwartz found a $20 yellowhawk plinned to one of his socks. "More 'n' at," declared Foster. There was another $20 yellowback in a little pocketbook pinned to the other sock. In the toe of his right shoe was also found a first-class return ticket to Awgustah. "Got more'n 'at," persisted Foster. "Where is it—down the back of your neck?" demanded Bauer. No, suh. It's in Gawgia in a bank," smiled. "I 'sho' do appreciate yo' hospitality." Then he was taken to a cell, charged with intoxication. He expressed himself as quite satisfied and sank swiftly to sleep. committeeman. "Just watch the real farmer," said the mayor laughingly, taking the pail and cautiously approaching the cow with a "soo boss, soo boss," he patted her on the hip, the small of the back and then gently began to stroke her foreshoulder as he started "Sweet Adeline," in a cooling tone. "Nothing like getting the confidence of the cow first, if for nothing more than safety," he explained. He dropped to the low stool, placed the pall tightly between his knees and his voice swelled with strains of "I Want to Be In Dixie," the milk began to dash against the bottom of the pail with a noise like steam escaping from an exhaust pipe. The mayor, of course, was declared the winner and as the superintendent was about to pass the money over to him, he remarked: "It's a shame to take their money. You couldn't lose." "No," repeated the superintendent, very gravely, "you couldn't lose, because the other two cows are dry—have them eaten a month." The bets were declared off. because when he went through my pockets there was no money to be found." "And what is your name again, please?" queried the court, with the shadow of a smile. "It don't make no difference what my name is. I want that man arrested." Williams shuffled out of the police court and wandered back to his home. A half hour later he was surprised to see two husky bluecoats drive up in a patrol wagon and stop at his door. "You're under arrest," growled the first cop, seizing Williams roughly. "Come along to the station." "Why are you arresting me?" protested the bewildered Williams. "I just got out a warrant for the arrest of another man who beat me up last night. Didn't you get him?" "Come on! Come on!" yelled the second bluecoat. "That kind of stuff don't go in this town. We're too wise for that small town chatter. Get in the wagon and ask no more questions or there'll be trouble." Williams did as directed and was hailed before the justice who signed his own warrant. Then Williams recalled that he was Samuel Williams and by a mistake had charged himself with disturbing the peace. He was released when he asked for the charge by the judge that that he had fought with himself was greatly exaggerated and more or less untrue. at Highwood with a hand grip full of bills and started to change the big bills into smaller ones. Before he was half way through the car his supply of bills had been exhausted. When the car reached Highland Park the paymaster hurried to the bank and threw a bundle of twenties to the teller, saying he wanted a lot of ones, twos and fives. The teller reached into the drawer and before all the twenties had been changed the second time the small bills of the bank were almost gone. The eighty recruits had completed their course at the naval station and had been granted a seven days' furlough before reporting for duty, aboard their respective ships.

TWO WELL KNOWN CHARACTERS DIE Mrs. Jake Smith, known to thousands of theater goers as "Old Mother Jakie" in her nineteen years' service as maid at the Chicago opera house, dropped dead Monday afternoon at her home, 5148 South State street. Death is believed to have been due to heart trouble. She was born into slavery in the far south and came to Chicago shortly after the close of the civil war. Johnson Carter, ex-slave and long time resident of Chicago, is dead. He was born as a slave in Virginia on the farm of a Mr. Smith, and became the property of Mr. Smith's daughter when she married Capt. Alexander M. Hamilton, a brother of Mrs. Leander J. McCormick. He was freed from slavery by the emancipation proclamation and came to Chicago at the close of the war in 1865 and entered the service of Mr. and Mrs. Leander J. McCormick, with whose family he remained until the time of his death. He was well known among residents of the north side. "He was a man of high character, exemplary in his conduct and highly esteemed by all that knew him," R. Hall McCormick, trustee of the estate of Leander J. McCormick, said. "He was greatly interested in all that concerned the colored race and bequeathed $2,000 to endow a bed at the Provident hospital." WILLIAM H. JACKSON DEAD.

Burglaries who broke into a Paris flat recently removed all the fashionable pannier dresses belonging to the mistress of the house and left a number of old skirts. "The police," says a Paris correspondent, "suspect a fashion expert." We, on the other hand, are inclined to wonder if the burglary was not committed by the lady's husband, who may easily have been a simple-hearted fellow who wished to see his wife becoming dressed for a week or two—Bystander. Spoiling Children. Little children give their mother the headache; but if she lets them have their own way, when they grow up to be great children they will give her the heartache. Fondness spills many, and letting little fruits alone spills more. Gardens that are never weeded will grow very little worth gathering. All watering and no heeding will make a very bad crop. A child may have too much of its mother's love and in the long run it may turn out that it had too little—C. H. Spurgeon. Careless Burglar An absent-minded burglar, having gained entrance to a Philadelphia residence and gathered all the family jewelry, slipped everything into his pockets. Then, discovering a brand new suit of clothes, he changed his raiment and left the house, forgetting to empty the pockets of his old suit. It is difficult for the careless man to attain a very high degree of efficiency in any line of endeavor.—Boston Globe. Food for Thought Here A southerner, who has his own way of stating things, inquires whether the world is fair "in dealing with God's services." "We will criticise a long sermon," he says, "a lengthy prayer, or any lengthy religious services, but sit quietly through a two-hour political speech, a funny lecture or even a monkey show." Scientific Melon Raising Spanish farmers who raise melons plant only the seeds of those specimens which at the family table were found particularly sweet, fragrant and pulpy. By this process of selection they bring it about that sometimes there is a whole plantation without a single flavorless melon in the crop. Warfare Against Rats.

Electrical engineers number young women among their workers, and Edison is said to prefer women machinists for their fineness of touch.

"If your girl doesn't know how to fish," enthusiastically declared the young fellow who clerks in a bank, "take her out fishing some day if you want to have some real fun. If she knows how to fish it won't be half so much fun, and it will be all the more fun if you don't know how to fish yourself." Then the enthusiastic young man proceeded to explain his proposition, "A friend and I," said he, "got our girls to go to Greenwood lake last Sunday. We hadn't any idea what we were going to do or see when we got there, and we didn't seem to care, only so we run against a good time. "On the way up I asked the conductor of the train what we were likely to find at the lake to sort of round out a day with some fun mixed up with it. "Do you folks dance?" said he. "Sure, jibbly," said I. "Then go fishin'," said he, and passed on. "We thought it was kind of queer advice, but the conductor seemed to know what he was talking about, and we made up our minds to take his advice and go fishing. When we got to the lake we found a man who had boats and fishing things to hire, got a couple of boats, a fish pole a piece and some bait, and prepared to go fishing. "Where's the best place to fish?' I asked the man we hired the outfit from. "Know much about fishing?' he asked. "I told him we didn't know a thing about fishing. "Don't make no difference, then said he, 'where you fish.' said me, where you had. "This seemed to bear out the advice the conductor had handed us, and I considered that we were following the right path to overhaul fun, so after the man had told us how to bait our hooks we rowed out on the lake and went to fishing. Our boats drifted about for a while, and as the situation was all to the restful and dreamy I was passing quite a few over to Sue in the line of soft nothings, and Sue was taking 'em for all they were worth and now and then murmuring one or two back to me, the fishing stunt kind o' slipped my mind and hers, too. Then all of a sudden she gave a scream that almost lifted my hat and hollered: "Oh, Charlie, something is trying to take my fishpole away from me!" "I looked, and sure enough, her fishpole was being jerked down in the water and she was trying to keep it up." "Hold on to it, Sue! I shouted. 'Maybe it is a bite.' "Just then about twenty feet from one side of the boat a big fish jumped out of the water with Sue's book in its mouth. It shook itself like a dog shaking a rat and glared at us the maddest kind. Sue screamed louder than ever and hollered: "It's jumping at me, Charlie; why don't you kill the horrid thing? "I put my pole on the seat and sat on it while I rowed fast to the spot where the fish had jumped out, intending to slaughter it with an anar if it sprang out again, but when I got there the ugly critter had moved and came leaping out twenty feet in another direction and madder than ever."

"I turned and looked in that direction just in time to see the big fish glaring at us off our bow and shaking itself in the air till everything rattled. At least I thought it was that big fish until out of the water astern of us it came again and then I discovered that two fish were after us, the one on Sue's line and now one on mine.

Seems to me that those two big and ugly fish must have caught on to the meaning of that hurry call, for while my friend was on his way in answer to it the fish on my line gave one other great jump in the air and with a tremendous lunge to lose from the hook and didn't come for us again. Following its example, Sue's fish did the same act. Sue gave one shriek of joy and exclaimed: "Oh, thank goodness, Charlie. He's gone at last! "When my friend came up and we told him our adventure he didn't seem to have words to make any commant on it for a while, then he said: "Wonder why it wouldn't have been the proper thing to yank them fish in and land 'em in your boat? "Why of course it would, Charlie! said Sue reproachfully. 'Why in the world didn't you think of that? The very ideal!' "I wondered a little at it myself and declared that we would try for 'em again. We did, and it wasn't long before Sue yelled that the fish was after her pole again. Whether it was the same one or not I don't know, but it looked exactly like it when it jumped and we got it in the boat and killed it with an car. A lot more fish tackled us before the day was over and most of 'em we didn't yank in and land, but we had heaps of fun seeing 'em get away. "That conductor sure did know what he was talking about. Yes, yes. There's a heap more fun if you don't know how to fish and if your girl don't know how than there is in knowing how." Proud of Title of "Bulldog." It has been said of Prince Leopold ot Anhalt-Dessau, one of Frederick the Great's most able generals. "In every- thing a soldier and an oddity, he was a prince in nothing, save in his love of power." His soldiers called him the "bulldog." He liked the name, for it set forth the traits on which he prided himself—tenacity, courage and toughness. Defect of Human Nature. It is human nature to want to profit by the mistakes of others rather than by our own. "Sure thing," said I. "Can you fish?" said he. --- SOUTHERN EDITOR HAS AMAZING BRAIN STORM n., Moulder of Public. Opinion. Whose Name and Was Accidently (?)

New Orleans, L.A., Sept. 20—Newspaper circles here were amused this week when on Thursday a Nashville, Tenn., editor (name and paper unknown) tried to make the local papers join a movement to bar the name of Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, from southern newspapers. Every editor in this city received a long typewritten letter urging their aid in the movement. The remarkable part of this letter is where the Nashville editor declares, "that in 'marrying a white woman Champion Johnson offered an affront In a Hammock With Browning. The Spring Hill New Era tells of a young lady down there who was visiting with her aunt in the country. She came in late in the afternoon and her aunt asked her where she had been. "In the hammock all the afternoon," she responded, "with my beloved Robert Browning." The aunt eyed her steadily.

This editor is either suffering from a peculiar kind of brain storm or is looking for a little cheap notorily. If serious his attention is called to the thousands of "Southern white gentlemen" who live in open adultery with Negro women. There is apparently no affront in this. Jack Johnson was legally married. The report of the last census shows that the mulattoes are on the increase. Perhaps the Nashville editor can see the point. Children Taught Cobbling. Cobbling is recognized as a trade in the vocational schools of Buffalo. Several schools are set aside for teaching trades to young boys and girls, and the latest addition to the course is one in cobbling. A competent instructor has been engaged to teach the young men how to repair shoes. There are a number taking up the course, and it is certain that the trade will not become extinct with the young generation studying the principles of rejuvenating old shoes.

One young lady took her hostess' mail box key, but she returned it after she got a letter stating that she was seen with it by a Defender reporter. She stated in her reply that she wished those reporters would attend to their business. It seems such a pity that in this Christian America, and people under one flag, men who when they fight die as quickly as the black man from the --- epenises' bullet, should try to teach the coming generation that both the white and black are so ignorant that they must have separate schools. The United States government should consider it a crime, punishable by imprisonment, for any class of people to try to establish caste schools on her soil. If there is no caste in war then there should be none in time of peace. Teach our children about the Stars and Stripes, teach them the unity of the race and let this nation be welded and heal the breach between the races. Let us use the money to greater advantage by leasing all our children in the one picture of knowledge. PARAGRAPHS WITH POINTS By Waldo L. Batson. The man who lies to his wife is an ordinary man. There is a million times more love for money than there is money. A politician never goes after his job with rubber heels. Many people who are said to be doing well ought to be doing time. A man cannot be led contrary to his appetite. Courtship is the springtime of love; a honeymoon is the summertime; marriage is the fall, and divorce the winter. A new hat helps the looks of a woman's face but spoils the looks of her husband's. That kind of man who is mean around the house and good around the corner is common. It is hard to make a man believe that cold love doesn't go along with cold biscuits. Johnny—Mamma, did you say some of our greatest drunkards have been poets? Housewife—Can't you fellows find any work? Tramp—O, yes. I can find plenty of work. Housemaid—Then why do you go around begging? Tramp—Because it is easier. Wife—If I had known you drank before I married you I wouldn't have had you. Husband—I wish you had known it. Teacher—You forgot to wash your face this morning, didn't you, Willie? Willie—No'am; mamma forgot it. THE PRESS AND THE PULPIT. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 16.—Hon. R. S. Abbott, LL. B., Editor The Chicago Defender—Dear Sir: Enclosed please find "order" for $1.50, for which please mail to my, address the Defender for one year. I have deeply appreciated—and I am sure my congregation joins me—your kind and generous references to Lincoln Memorial Congregational church in its efforts to establish itself as a factor in the service of the Master in the daily life of the millions of this great city. This is as it should be, always, and everywhere. Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, the press and the pulpit should stand together, pull together, push together in the labor of love, and for the uplift of men and women. But it should not be forget—as I fear it too often is—that "the laborer is worthy of his hire"; that the editor no less than the preacher, whose work has no respite, and who burns the midnight oil three hundred and sixty-five times a year in the service of his people, cannot pay rent or his printers on an occasional "complimentary" dinner or pretty well spoken speeches on the "line paper" he is "getting out." What he earns he is entitled to, without going down upon his knees to receive it, or wearing out shoe leather trotting after it. You will understand, Mr. Editor, I am not writing this for publication. Fraternally yours, LUGENE C. LAWRENCE. 6542 Vincennes avenue. From Our Exchanges CAN THEY SEE THE POINT?

PANAMA HAT OF COMMERCE Prized Headgear Made From Palm Leaves Grown In Central and South America. Panama hats are made from a palm of the "chandler-tree" family, which grows wild in enormous quantities in the northern parts of South America and in Central America. The greater number of highest grade Panamans are made in Ecuador, with Peru a good second. The best of these sell for $150 each. The young, tender leaves of the plant are gathered before they unfold; all the ribs and coarse veins are removed, and the rest is reduced to shreds without being separated from a stem. The shredded leaves are placed in large earthware jars filled with water and the juice of lemons and left to soak for from six to ten days. After this they are spread out to dry and bleach in the sun. The fibers are woven upon a block held upon the knees. The coarse hats are finished in two or three days; the finest take as many months. The best times for weaving are in the early morning and in the rainy season, when the air is moist. In the middle of the day and in the dry season the fiber is apt to break. Where He Got Them Mickey and Pat had been at school, together, but had drifted apart in after life. They met one day, and the conversation turned on athletics. "Did you ever meet my brother Dennis?" asked Pat. "He has just won a gold medal in a Marathon race." "That's fine," said Mike. "But did I ever tell you about my uncle at Ballythomas?" Pat agreed that he could not call him to mind. "Well," continued Mike, "he's got a gold medal for five miles and one for ten miles, a silver medal for swimming, two cups for wrestling, and a lot of badges for boxing and cycling." "He must be a great athlete, indade," said Pat. "You're wrong, crieled Mike. "He keeps a pawnbishop!" Rope Horseshoes. Horseshoes of rope are largely made use of in Germany and some other foreign countries, and it is said that there should be some demand in this country, on account of the character of the paving which largely prevails in this country and which is hard on the feet of the animals. The rope is sometimes reinforced with wire and sometimes it is tarred and after being cut and shaped is secured to an iron shoe which is secured to the animal's hoof. While its appearance is not as neat and elegant as a shoe of metal, the soft cushion of rope is very grateful on the animal's feet, and from a humane standpoint it should be more generously made use of. Device to Protect Sheep. A device to protect sheep from the inroads of wolves, coyotes and other animals has been invented by E. C. Winchester of Thermopolis. Wyo. The machine consists of an automatic, un which will shoot a blank cartridge every thirty, forty or sixty minutes, as arranged, while a bull's eye lantern is so adjusted as to revolve and flash light in every direction. It makes more than one revolution a minute, operating by means of a coiled spring and cog wheels, a sort of clockwork, n fact. The mechanism is enclosed in a storm and dust proof metal case and mounted on four adjustable legs. It has a weight of twenty-five pounds, so that it can be carried with the sheepman's outfit with no difficulty. Rock-a-Bye-Baby Diggs—My wife is a wonderful vocalist.

SHE HAD MADE A MISTAKE Questionable Commercial Transaction, However, in No Way Abashed the Old Lady. Wherever buying and selling go on, there are those who do not serupte to take a little extra profit if it can be done secretly. The deed is not always carried off so boldly as in this amusing adventure related in Mrs. Phillimore's book of travel, "In the Carpathians." The yellow horse—the Phillimore's journey was made in a peasant's cart drawn by a horse whose "skin was the color of honey when the sun shines on it," and driven by a romantic and elegant Pole, whose name was Milak—the yellow horse was preparing to shake the dust of Josliska from his heels when an elderly Jewess detached herself from an excited crowd in the market-place and hurried toward the cart. "My weight!" she demanded in a loud voice, "What weight?" inquired Mr. Phillimore. "In the sugar," replied the old lady, "What sugar?" queried Mr. Phillimore. Milak came to the rescue. "I bought loft sugar," he explained. "The weight is. in the sugar. I made a mistake," volunteered the aggressive lady with much wrath and no embarrassment. "Am I to wait all day?" she continued, impatient at the stupidity of these foreigners. Gullelessly, Milak produced the bag of sugar. A more knowing villager offered a bowl, into which the old lady hastily dumped the sugar, disclosing in the bottom a brass weight of three or four ounces. "That's it," she said, unbushingly. "I forgot to take it out," and hastily restoring the sugar to her customers, she turned and marched back to the market-place.—Youth's Companion. Wifey—There go the Browns in their new monoplane! Hubby—Are you sure it's the Browns? Wifey—Of course I am. I'd know the top of her hat anywhere. Many Patent Documents If all the documents stored in the patent office at Washington could be placed end to end they would form a strip that would reach around the earth three times. 1. Odd Position of French Woman Is Neither Spinster, Wife, Not Divorced Person. According to French law, hus and wife who have been once dive and who, after due reflection, found out that they can do no b for themselves, and have married other a second time, cannot be dived again. Sixteen years ago a go man who could not put up with freaks of his wife sought and obtal a divorce, but after a years' refect he forgehe her, and they went at before the mayor. It was not k however, before madame broke to again, and tried the patience of husband beyond endurance. He pled to the court for a remand. I was told that all it could do for I was to pronounce a separation, though he would be always obli to pay her almamy. He agreed, s years went on, and the lady also w on disgircing the name she still bo The man again repaired to the tril w and married me: "My wife, who is rated from me, who is still my wife, and whose husband I still am, othens dishonoring I still am, am to do" to which the magistrates piled: "You must go on paying her allowance, because she evidently he need of it, but we will forbid her use your name." The woman now in a position that has never been prived for by legislation. She is no divorced, and never can, and no ther she nor her husband can evem marry again. Yet she is more the separated, because she cannot use his husband's name. She comes and no category, being neither spinste wife, nor divorced, and she stands a class that may be termed the "sen divorced." NAMES OF VARIOUS CLOTHS Chiefly Derived From Their Place of Manufacture, Though Not In All Cases. Muslin is named from Mosul, a city on the banks of the Tigrisi Cambric from Cambria, a town of France. Gauze is probably derived from Gaza in Syria, although some authorities hold to the Hindu "gazl," meaning tibn cloth. Dalze, which is commonly thought of as being of green hue, was named from its original color, a reddish brown. The word is really the plural of "bay," and the color is that of the horse which is known as "bay." A form of the word is common in many tongues. Damask, quite obviously, is derived from Damascus. Silk and serge are both derived from the Latin Seres, meaning the Chinese. These fabrics were first imported from that portion of Asia which is now southern China. Velvet is from the Italian vellute, meaning woolly, this from the Latin vellus, a fleece. Velium is a derivative of the same root—a pelit or hide. Bandanna is from the Indian word meaning to "bind or tie," and has reference to the manner of tying knots in the fabric to prevent the dye from reaching every part thereof. In this way spots are left white and a rude pattern remains in the cloth. Alpaca comes from the animal of the same name in Peru. It is of the llama species and its wool is used to manufacture the fabric employed in the making of summer garments. Calico got its name from Calcuta, a town in India, once celebrated for its cotton cloth. The Code Feminine As soon as Mrs. Granger was fairly past, Mr. Compton heard an Irritated "There! I knew it!" from his wife, and turned to see what was the matter. "She's just as provoked as she can be to think that Mrs. Lombard and I didn't ask her to go out with us to see the Williams baby!" said Mrs. Compton. "She thinks that it was on account of her having said that she didn't find three weeks' old babies very interesting, when of course she'd make an exception of Lena Williams' baby. But that wasn't the reason we ever say it was because we decided all in a hurry, and we was just time to catch the train. She's made up her mind she won't propose our names for the book club!" "How do you know she thinks all these things?" inquired Mr. Compton. "My dear, didn't you see the way she bowed?" asked his wife in a pitying tone. "Why, yes," said Mr. Compton. "I thought she gave a rather more pronounced bow than most women do, and smiled quite brilliantly." "You dear thing," and Mrs. Compton patted his contelieve, "of course she didn't how I knew exactly what she was thinking." "Youth's Companion." Index to Intoxication The late George B. Chuett beloved profoundly in temperance. Mr. Cluett, at a temperance dinner once, said: "In moonshine districts, where the whisky looks like water and is drunk like water, strange ideas prevail as to what intoxication really is. "In a moonshine village, one Saturday afternoon, a man lay in the broiling, sun in the middle of the road with an empty bottle by his side. "He's drunk; lock him up, the sheriff said.

Buchanan, Grand Bassa, Liberia, July, 1912.—The following newly elected officers were inaugurated at an adjourned annual meeting of the Liberian National Bar Association held in the Monrovia Court Room on Wednesday, Jan. 21: Ex- President Arthur Barclay, president; Attorney General S. A. Ross, first vice- president; Senator C. B. Dunbar, second vice-president; L. A. Grimes, Esq. secretary; Mr. Secretary of the Trea- ury, T. W. Haynes, treasurer; and Representative T. E. Bey-Solow, Librarian. An address reviewing the work of the association was made by the retiring president, Hon. F. E. R. Johnson; and President Barclay made an inaugural address pointing out future work to be done for the improvement of the bar and the judiciary of the country. Each of the newly elected officials followed with appropriate remarks. Mr. Justice Stewart's Speech. The following paper, entitled "A Recent Visit to the Supreme Court of the United States of America" was read by Mr. Justice McCants Stewart; When a boy preparing for college, when in the early days of my college life, when practicing law in New York City, I often ascended the hill on which the Capitol at Washington sits in noble and stately grandeur. I ascended that hill in November of last year and entered the historic Capitol, but nearly fourteen years had passed since my last visit to it. While the general surroundings were well in mind, I had forgotten the details, I, therefore, became greatly interested as I drew nigh unto the last tier of ascending steps, for on the last plateau, I noted that in front of the west entrance to the Capitol stood a majestic pedestal on which sat in life size proportions the figure of a man. John Marshall's Monument. I wondered if the figure were Washington or Jefferson, or Hamilton, or Adams, the great founders of the greatest nation on earth. Imagine my delight when I drew nigh and read this Inscription on the monument: "John Marshall." Now every lawyer the world all over knows that John Marshall was the great law expounder of the American nation, the greatest Chief Justice who ever presided over the Supreme Court of the United States. When the leaders of the bar and of the nation put their heads together to decide who should stand as the angel of constitutional democracy, greeting the world at the entrance to the building where law is made and where law in interpreted, they passed by Webster, the greatest constitutional lawyer of his age; they passed by Calhoun, the keenest intellect of all the statesmen of his day; they passed by Clay, the man of silvery tongue and resourceful statesmanship; they passed by the great Sumner, whose watchword was: "The word 'white' is not the constitution, who dares insert it in the law"; they passed by Lincoln, the emancipator, and Grant, the savior of the union, and unanimously agreed upon John Marshall, of Virginia, and placed him in marble in front of the Capitol. As I stood there worshipping this great master, I realized what an uplifting force in a nation a great lawyer is, and I thought of our distinguished jurist, Zacharia B. Roberts, who died preferring to be Chief Justice than to be president. Confers With Secretary Knox. Others With Secretary Knox. I was in Washington on public business, and, after conferring with Mr. Secretary Knox and his departmental assistants, I went to a well earned rest in the New Willard hotel, with the resolve that I would spend the following day in Washington visiting the Smithsonian Institute so as to see the African specimens of that mighty hunter of men and beasts, Col. Theodore Roosevelt, whose work, entitled, "African Game Trails." I read on the steamship "Victoria Auguste," on my way to America, which book I gave myself the pleasure of bringing as a gift to my friend ex-President Barclay. I made an interesting visit to the Institute and an inspiring visit to the Supreme Court; and you have done me the honor to ask that I tell you about the visit to the Court. I wanted to observe every phase of the life of that great Court, beginning with its entrance into its room, and so I was present a quarter of an hour before noon. The officers in charge had forgotten me, of course fourteen years make great changes, sometimes. But when I introduced myself the welcome was beyond expression, and I was given a seat within the bar. But before occupying it, I stood in the hall where I could see, the members of the Court gather, and the Court enter its room. Court Arrives Promptly. Promptly at about five minutes to twelve o'clock the Justices began to arrive and enter their chambers. The officer having me in charge pointed out: "That's Justice Van Dewater," and "That's Justice Lurton and Lamar;" and "There's the Chief Justice with Justice Day." "Where?" I asked. "Wonder," he said, pointing to a man of large proportions and benevolent countenance. "And so that's Chief Justice White." I said. Then immediately I exclaimed: "All there comes Justice Hughes, I know him by sight." Then came the scholarly Justice Holmes, and the aged Justice McKenna. But one of them came not. He was absent, whose voice for upwards of a generation was heard in dissent against decisions limiting human rights and industrial opportunities—decisions placing barriers across man's path because he was not white, or because he was not rich. His voice was the voice of one crying in the wilderness, "Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make his paths straight." The old judicial hero. John Marshall Harland had sounded the last bugle call to duty in his dissenting opinion in the Standard Oil case. When I saw them gather, he was dead. When I entered the court room, his chair was vacant. A minute or so before noon, the hour at which the Court meets, ballists stretched ropes across a public passage way to prevent its use while the Court was passing to its rooms. Promptly at the stroke of the clock proclaiming the arrival of the noon hour, the big doors of the Justice's chambers swung open and the portly form of the Chief Justice appeared, followed by the Associate Justices in the order of their seniority, as evidenced by the date of their respective commissions. They march across the hall; and, on the appearance of the Chief Justice at the entrance of the court room, an officer gives one rap with his gavel and everybody rises and remains standing until the Court is seated. As they sit a nod of the head in a perfectly natural manner accompanied here and there by a pleasing smile, indicates a cheery good morning. Immediately upon being seated, the Chief Justice asks: "Any motions?" And they are disposed of quietly and rapidly with a freedom from sternness, which indicates that bench and bar are a happy family. The Chief Justice then calls the calendar, the clerk answering as to the status of the case, that is, whether a stipulation had been filed under the rules, temporarily or permanently removing it from the docket, or whether it was ready for argument. If ready for argument counsel on both sides draw up to a table directly fronting the bench, and without any forensic sparring the fight is on. I heard two cases, one involved the question of the right to the use of a moving picture arising out of injunction proceedings in the court below, and the other involved issues arising out of an ejectment suit. Brilliant Lawyers Plead Cases. It was refreshing to hear the lawyers argue. They were masters of the questions they presented to the court; but the court at times showed a keener grasp of the situation than the lawyers. While present, I heard the Chief Justice and every Associate Justice, except Justice McKenna, ask questions, some of which the lawyers answered promptly and with directness. In the case of one lawyer there was an effort to dodge. I have before me even now the keen quick manner of Mr. Justice Van Deventer, I see his brilliant flashing eye, as he forced the lawyer to answer whether or not certain issues were raised in the court below and whether the local laws or practice require him to raise the issues in question before the trial court. In all the proceedings there was no bomast, no passion, no suggestion of "dignity," no suspicion that any matter of contempt could raise. All seemed intent on finding out what are the facts, and what is the law. At times my mind turned from the argument to make observations and to think on general principles. And now for some of the things I observed and thought: The Chief Justice Leaves His Seat I observed that the Chief Justice left his seat while argument was in progress and held a brief conversation with Mr. Justice Holmes, who had asked a question indicating the fact that the Supreme Court is a court compound of equals. It is not a court consisting of a Chief Justice and Assistant Justices; but a Chief Justice and Associate Justices. The Chief Justice is simply primus inter pares. Each member of the court has the right to speak at any time, although they always observe the courtesy due their chief, who is the presiding officer of the court. Indeed, at times the dissent of one of ten outweighs the combined voice of all the others. When Chief Justice Tawney delivered the opinion of the court proclaiming in spirit that black men had no rights which white men were bound to respect Mr. Justice Clifford dissented; and that dissent became the ultimate law of the land. When Chief Justice White delivered last May the opinion of the court in the Standard Oil Company's case, reading into statute a distinction between "reasonable" and "unreasonable" combinations, that old champion of human rights, Mr. Justice Harlan dissented; and his ringing dissent went straight to the heart of the nation and is passing into law, as Congress now has before it a new statute defining so clearly the meaning of "combinations in restraint of trade" that the court can not again take liberties with the law. Better Training for Law Students. And so, every member of the Supreme Court bench is an independent unit. Indeed, in the early beginning of Constitutional Government in the United States, each member of the court delivered an opinion in every case; but as the number of cases increased this was found to be impracticable. But often a judge on the bench of an appellate court, even when he agrees with the result, delivers his own opinion of the court is delivered by another. These facts are often lost sight of here by even our best lawyers. We suffer from lack of better and larger facilities for training our law students. In the law school there should be a lecturer on constitutional and international law; a lecturer on civil law and procedure as well as another on criminal law and procedure. But this discussion resulted from the observation I made that the Chief Justice left his chair to consult a brother associate. And so, returning direct to observations I noted that all the justice were black silk gowns with no trimming of any kind to distinguish one from the other; and the lawyers wear no robes, but appear in dark clothing. An unwritten but ancient rule of the court makes it impossible for counsels to appear in anything else, no colored dress of any kind. Poor Quarters for So August Body. Looking around the room, I was impressed with the fact that it is a very small one. I have seen police court rooms in American cities superior in every respect to the room in which the Supreme Court meets. Congress seems to provide for every other department spacious accommodations, providing them even for its committees, but this $^4$ court which stands at the head of the judicial department has been left for over a half century in an old room deserted by the United States because it was too small and because its acoustic properties are bad. Several times hills have been introduced in congress to provide a suitable court room; but they have never gotten out of committees. Recently a plan was drawn for a new court house in which to locate all the courts and the Department of Justice, over which the Attorney General presides. When the paper plan was laid before the Justice of the Supreme Court it contained ample provision for the "Court of Claims," and the "District Court" and the "Department of Justice" and so on. "But where is the room for our court?" the justice asked. "Oh," said the chairman of the congressional committee, "we thought this corner over here would do" (pointing to a miserable nook). Why they treat the Supreme Court so, I can not tell. There is no part of the constitutional machinery in which Americans have greater pride, but I suppose the explanations lies in the fact that the court makes no noise; take no part in politics; and, therefore it does not count much with the politicians, although it is an independent co-ordinate branch of the government. Something of that spirit pervades our atmosphere here. It must be human nature. Not long since our Supreme Court addressed a communication to our senate with reference to appropriations for the court. The senate indignantly laid the communication on the table, acting on the theory that the court had no right to address it, that it should communicate through a branch of the government, which is secondary yt the court. And when asked why an equal can not talk direct with an equal there is no satisfactory explanation. The facts seem to be something forgotten that our constitutions provide: (1) "the legislature power shall be vested in a legislature"; (2) "the supreme executive power shall be vested in president," and (3) "the judicial power shall be vested in one Supreme Court and such subordinate courts as the legislature may from time to time establish." Some Reflections. Nothing more—that's the government—three partners co equal and independent of one another. And now, for a few thoughts while sitting in that great little court room in the American capital. In the year 1898, while on a visit to England, when I had the honor to be presented to the Lord Chief Justice, and to spend upward of half hour with him in his chambers, I was impressed with the far-reaching influence of the Supreme Court of the United States as I heard its work commended by his Lordship and its decisions cited in the course of a trial in the King's Bench. There is no branch of the Government where more coolness and equipoise and general conservative conduct are required than on the bench and especially on the bench of the Supreme Court, as this court speaks the final word—a word from which there is no appeal, thus indicating great power. Chief Justice Roberte Quaint Philosophy. 'At the annual dinner to the Supreme Court, given three weeks ago by his Excellency President Howard, great laughter and applause followed a quotation from certain utterances of the illustrious Chief Justice Roberts. The president said that the late Chief Justice often declared in public speech 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. that the legislature may be compared to the sun and the executive to the moon; but the Supreme Court like Joshua could command both the sun and moon to stand still. Now this perhaps is a crude comparison, and a somewhat extreme way to put it, but there is no escape from the underlying philosophy of the late Chief Justice's speech. Congress passed a civil rights act and the executive signed it an act making it impossible for any one anywhere under the American flag to discriminate with impunity against anyone on account of race or color. This act was declared by the Supreme Court to be unconstitutional, and it was ¬from the statute book. Congress passed an act taxing all incomes. The Supreme Court declared it to be unconstitutional, and that was the end of that act. A strong movement to amend the constitution, however, will doubtless succeed so as to tax incomes. Indeed I think that only two or three states are needed to ratify a proposed constitutional amendment. What President Taft Thinks of the As I thought of this great power vested in this court, my mind recurred to an expression made last June at Yale College, when they conferred the honorary degree of Doctor, of Law upon one the Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. On that occasion, President Taft said: "This University has today honored a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. It is a deserved honor. The most sacred function that a president has to perform is the appointment of men to that body. It is the bulwark of our liberties. In its work of construction it recognizes the wonderfully comprehensive character of our constitution in meeting the needs of same progress; but it stands between us and extreme and unwise radicalism. It stands for the institutions that served our fathers and will continue to serve us if the country is to live. Pleasure in Making Appointments. "It has fallen into my lot to have five members of that court bear my commission, a lot. I think, that has fallen to but few president, and there is no duty that I have discharged that has given me more heartfelt concern; that has worn more upon my conscience than the selections of the men pure and upright of character, able and learned in law; jurists and statemen, with courage to decide and assert the right. Whether that duty has been well performed or not the country must decide, but I am willing to stand upon the record of the court as now made, short as it is, since the five were appointed." No more delightful and surely no more profitable experience was mine on my last trip abroad than this visit to the American Supreme Court. Having an engagement in New York City I could not remain to the end of the day's session; but I left the presence of these mighty expounders of the law determined, on my return home, to do whatever I could to inspire my brethren of the bench and my brethren of the bar with higher ideals and loftier practices in our administration of justice. Reception for Judge Barclay. On the 26th ult. the Grand Bassa Bar gave a pleasant reception in the courtroom in honor of Judge Edwin J. Barclay of Monrovia, who was holding the June term of the Bassa Circuit Court. Court took recess at 2 p.m. for the reception. The reception was, well attended by the members of the bar and other members of the court. After lunchon the chairman of the bar proposed the health of his excellency the president, after which Attorney W. A. Bryant was introduced and he delivered the welcome address for the members of the bar, which was responded to by the judge in words full of thought and meaning, suggesting many things which would still improve the judiciary. Remarks were made by Hon. O. H. Horace, clerk of court, and the mayor of the city of Buchanan. The occasion was unique in the social affairs of the bar of Grand Bassa. Superintendent's Reception. 'On the 4th inst. the superintendent of the county gave a reception to the judge at the residence of the honorable superintendent's. The principal officials of the county were invited, including the members of the bar and the court, and most of whom responded, including the honorable vice-president of the republic. Refreshment in abundance were on hand, which were enjoyed very much by the guests, after which the usual speech-making was in order, and which was participated in by the Circuit Judge in whose honor the entertainment was given, as well as others present. All present joined to make the judge feel welcome in the county. NEW REGULATIONS FOR NEWSPAPERS Names and Addresses of Editors and Other Assistants Must Be Sworn to Twice a Year is New Edict by Postmaster General Hitchcock Washington, D. C., Sept. 20.—Postmaster-General Hitchcock has issued instructions for carrying into effect the new newspaper and periodical law, first returns under which must be made by Oct. 1. The law requires that publishers shall file on the first days of April and October-of each year, both with the postmaster-general and with the local postmaster, under penalty of denial of the use of the malls, a sworn statement of the names and addresses of the owner, publisher, editor, managing editor and business manager of their newspapers and periodicals. Religious, fraternal, temperance and scientific publications are excepted. For a corporation the names of the holders of more than 1 per cent of the stocks, bonds or other securities must be given and, in the case of daily newspapers a statement of the average paid circulation for the preceding six months is required. All editorial or other reading matter appearing in a newspaper or magazine for the publication of- which pay is accented or promised must be marked "Advertisement," under penalty of a fine of not less than $50 or more than $500. In Arts, Literature and Science It Is Progressive—Why Not In Humanity? In the acceptance and appreciation of the latest developments in the arts, literature, philosophy and the sciences, the modern world is truly cosmopolitan. It recognizes no boundary line of race or nationality where genius in these fields reveals itself. So closely are the various countries now bound together through international communication and commercialism and the universal diffusion of intelligence, that competition in the search for knowledge has been tremendously stimulated, says a writer in the Metropolitan Magazine. In the realm of the intellect and the senses emulation is encouraged and each new discovery or achievement that promises greater progress for mankind is halted with impartial enthusiasm. The world is ready to pay homage equally to Marconi, Lister, Rodin, Reinhardt, Tolstol, Loeh, Peary or Amnardt. None will be denied the acknowledgment due him because he was born in one country and not in another. It is the patience, daring, endurance, persistence, wisdom and passion for truth and knowledge as manifested in his works that are accepted as the measure of his worth. It is only when economic and political supremacy is in question that the nations and races maintain bideous and barbaric relations toward one another. Then envy, suspicion and thoughts of mutual destruction are accepted as natural, logical and inevitable. Then the world divides itself into armed camps and group alliances are made as safeguards of one nation against the other. In everything but the one vital, human essential of the welfare of the people, who sustain out of their poverty the armaments in times of peace and give of their lives when war is rampant, the world's rulers are content to see amity and brotherhood prevail. QUESTION FOR MUSIC LOVERS Just What Do You Hear When You Attend a Concert or Listen to an Orchestra? The above question was put to me many years ago, under circumstances that made it worth more to me than a full year of instruction under any master of the old world or new. I was coming away from one of my first symphony concerts, when I met my violin teacher, and told him I had just heard the great orchestra. "Is that so?" he remarked. "Well, what did you hear?" "Oh, the Unfinished Symphony and" "But you are only telling me what was on the program. What I asked was of more importance. I wanted to know what you heard." I started to say that there were nearly a hundred musicians, that they played all kinds of instruments, but he interrupted again. "Yes, I know, but what did you hear? Was it a great noise or did it say something to you?" Now I began to understand, and of course I had no words to express my feelings. But I thought about it very often for some time, and wondered what music really was; what other people heard; whether any one ever heard what I did; if they ever found themselves powerfully moved at a great climax in the music; if they preferred to go to concerts alone and sit in a dark corner and listen without looking in the direction of the stage. And as I gained more experience as a listener there were thousands of questions that arose from that one simple question. What did I hear? What did you hear when you listened to good music?—Exchange. Roads Were Not Public. A century ago all the larger towns in eastern Massachusetts were to be reached substantially only over toll roads, or turnipkes, along which one paid to pass. The roads were built and owned by corporations chartered by the commonwealth, and the fares, or tolls, were taken up every few miles at toll gates, which were usually established on the bridges, so that no one could get by without paying. There were turnipkes to Concord, to Worcester, to Dedham and Providence, to Neponset and Quincy, to Lymn and Salem, and to Newburyport. At the first toll gate out of Salem toward Boston, $5,300 was taken in the year 1855, but the day of greatest travel on the road was June 1, 1813, when 120 stages and hundreds of carriages went over the road that their occupants might get a glimpse from hilltops of the fight between the Chesapeake and the Shannon, in which the dying Lawrence uttered his immortal words, "Don't give up the ship." Russia's Hunting Bag. The hunting season in Russia has come to an end, and the following particulars, says a St. Petersburg correspondent, relate to the booty, which has far surpassed that of the preceding year. The largest number of animals killed are squirrels, which head the list with 4,525,300 victims. The most sought after fur is of course black sable, of which 12,250 were caught. Last year a clear profit of 2,500,000 francs was made on sables, which fetched as much as 1,000 francs aplace. The remainder of the "bag" was composed of 200,000 rime, 1,600 brown bears, 180,000 skunk, 100 blide foxes and 16,500 gray wolves. Most Abundant of Substances.

WASHINGTON, The Best Pie Is Blueb The best judges of pie in every home say so—on "blueberry-nice-day." There are other days of course when nice juicy cherry pie or golden brown pumpkin pie might get the verdict—from the same judges. The judges have a mighty tough job, but nothing to what they would have if called upon to pin a diamond medal on the one mother who can bake pie better than any other mother. In such a contest we fancy it would all simmer down to a question of ovens. The thousands of mothers who bake pies in "punk" ovens and trust to "buck" would be badly handicapped. On the other hand the mothers who are fortunate enough to own 1912 "Composite" ranges would have all the best of it. The ovens in these "Composite" --- ranges all have double walls with intervening space filled with asbestos—to prevent heat waste. The heat is circulated, too, in an ingenious way that insures even top and bottom baking of every single, pie. The whole oven, too, can be kept at just the exact temperature (572 Degrees Fahren, for pies) with the aid of a dial temperature indicator on the oven door. When warm and best the whole process of baking is matched through the glass window in the oven door. With such a range the September baker can make pie every bit as good as her mother, and prove it to you if you will let us show you the "pie range" range and its hundred and one features.

The Results of the investigation—the results of this investigation, in so far as they may be considered typical, would indicate that the colored tenant pays disproportionately high rent for his apartment, and is liable to find his apartment in poorer repair than his immigrant neighbor. But it does not follow that the fact is entirely due to the simple raising of rents in certain districts. The Negro with a weekly wage no larger, and usually smaller, than that of his immigrant neighbor, endeavors to maintain a standard of living more similar to that of the native-born white citizen than to that of the Negro. He does not consent to so large a degree to crowding for the purpose of increasing the ratio of income to rent, and he demands a place of residence which shall be easily and quickly reached from his place of employment. The question of his disproportionate rent in itself is largely one of race prejudice. Considerable of the data upon which the report is based was gathered and tabulated by Miss Grace P. Norton, a co-student in the investigation department of the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy. For the Invalid. A sizeable shoe bag with several pockets is just the thing for the slick room, but not in its original capacity. Pin it firmly to the side of the bed, within reach; then it is convenient for the invalid to slip into its various pockets books, papers, handkerchiefs, or any of the other things which she uses, and which are not only apt to get lost on the bed, but when on the bed give an appearance of disorder.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP Treasury Clerks Are Caged Like Camorrists Treasury Clerks Are Caged Like Camorrists Alexander Bluffs Ajax In a Hymeneal Mix-Up Alexander Bluffs Ajax In a Hymeneal Mix-Up Capital City Post-Office Cats Always on Job Uncle Sam's Official Fish Guesser Is Let Out THESE ECONOMY CRANKS. MAKE ME. SICK THEY OUCNT TO HANG 'EM !! WASHINGTON—When one looks on the picture of the Camorristas in their cage in Viterbo, where they were being tried as instigators of crimes and members of criminal organizations, it, comes right-home to the clerks who work in the treasury department in Washington. Since the economy cranks got to work they have turned the old treasury department upside down. The secretary I the treasury has a little walk of his own, a little elevator of his own and a driveway made through a portion of the treasury plaza purposely for him, none of these to be used by the common herd at all. All are protected by gates of wrought-iron from invasion of the clerks or any of the assistants about the treasury department. Before the economy commission got in their licks there was a sort of placa in the heart of the treasury, the white stone walls being built up around it. When so many of the corridors and other rooms had to be taken up by private elevators, drive and runways for higher officials, this ALEX Power and Alex Tobey, two leading members of the colored back alley, 400, who were related by marriage, inasmuch as Alex had led Alax's sister to the hymeneal altar and promised to provide board and lodging for the rest of her natural days, were arraigned before Judge Douglas of the police court on a number of charges ranging from "cussing" to "scraping." The statement made by Alex was, that the lightning defier invaded his domicile and in the presence of his copper colored spouse had used language of a very tabacolic variety Alex further testified that he had picked up a stick of stone wood with which he persuaded Ajax to desist. Unlike his famous prototype, who defied the unseen, Ajax wilted when he saw that piece of timber in the muscular hands of the brawny Alexander, and beat it. He didn't take time to leave by the door, but jumped out of the back room window, which, in his precipitate flight he did not stop to open. The result was disastrous to the window—and the smoky Ajax sought protection of the police. "What brought about the difficulty" queried the Highland chieftain, who is presiding over the police court in the absence of Judge Hugo (to) ILL FIX THAT MOUSE "A RE the post-office employees here doing their duty?" "Yes," said Postmaster N. A. Mer- ritt curly. "How about the cats?" he was asked. "They are on the job, too." Then Mr. Merritt stopped to consider whether Washington had any cats on the official pay roll or not. He wasn't sure, but insisted that they were working overtime, provided they were recognized civil service employees. Whereupon, a copy of a scandalous report concerning Philadelphia cats was shown to him. Philadelphia has had her post-office supplied with a collection of high class cats. As soon as these cats are reported for duty at Uncle Sam's office THE official guesser for the United States government has lost his job. For years the government has bought live salmon upon the good eye of a veteran fisherman, who took a squint at each fish and then put down in his book what he guessed to be the right weight. The bills were paid accordingly—thousands of dollars. Every year the government buys from 600 to 1,000 live salmon for breeding from the weir owners on the Buckskport, Verona, Orland and Penobscot shores. The price paid is the market rate, from 20 to 35 cents a pound, with 60 cents bonus for each fish for the trouble of keeping them alive. To get at the exact weight of a live salmon is practically impossible, for it is very delicate work at best in dipping them from the "pound" in the weirs to the "car," which is an old dory filled with water, carefully lined with cotton fannel and covered with a netting, which is covered outside with canvas. The utmost caution is necessary, for in the spring the Only One More. Senator La Follette, at a luncheon in Madison, listened to a rather weary smile to a magazine writer's exposure of the shameful means whereby a certain capitalist had amassed his fortune. "Oh, well," said the senator, "this is only another case of a profit without honor." Two women are able to say more in an afternoon than a man can learn in a lifetime. placita was fixed up as a sort of a glass house, and several hundred clerks fired out into that. Of course, the sun heats down on this glass house from the time that it rises until it sets, and the result was that about half the clerks were ill all of the time from the heat last summer. So this summer they have put a great canvas over this glass house, and keep water running on it all the time. The poor clerks that work under this are turned in in the morning, and the iron gates are closed like a stone prison, and to get out to get a bite to eat in the 30 minutes they have at noon they have to tell their name, age, nativity, place of residence and a lot of other family history. At least those who have to eat say that it seems to them it takes up enough time to give their pedigree from the Revolution to now before they get out without having to do the same things to get back in, and that takes up at least 10 minutes from their scant half hour from eating. It is said the iron cages are necessary for the safety of the money which the clerks are counting, but the treasury department has been running for about 100 years with no such safeguards, and there hasn't been $100 lost in the whole 100 years. So, after all, the clerks in that section of the treasury department haven't anything over the Camorrists who were shut up in steel cages every day. HE CUSSED HUSSER DEN ANY YALLER NIGGER I EBBER SEED, -YASSER "De langwidge dat nigger used was de wust ah is ever head." "What did he say?" "He say d—n an' h—ll an' er heap mo' sch words." "How about you, Mythology?" asked Judge Douglas of Alax. "Ah ain't never seed Him, Jedge; he ain't in cote." "I mean did you use the profanity as charged by Alexander." "Ah belongs ter de 'Tobacca class' of de fust 'African church, an' aah don't nevah use no 'fancy whatsumever. Hit are a mistake, Judge; dat nigger Alex he done lled erbout hit." "In the language of a popular song, 'Somebody Lied' in the case," said the court." "However, that is neither here nor there, and much as I regret the necessity of imposing a penalty on such distinguished personages, you will be required to deposit $5 each in the hands of Clerk Bill." there they immediately contracted a bad case of Philadelphia hookworm. Although on the official pay roll, so runs the story, they fell into line, formed a union, and announced themselves old-time Philadelphia conservatives. The mice have recovered from their scare and the cats are taking graft. An immediate investigation was ordered at which Assistant Postmaster Louis Robinson presided. Testimony was to the credit of the local office, and developed the following facts: No highly cultured civil-service cats were on the register. No cats of any kind had ever sought official appointment, though some were on the job. If any cat crusader ever finds his way on duty bent into the post-office he most likely will be lynched. The post-office cats have good records, and count their friends by the official register. When summoned before the investigating committee, the cats did not come. "Always hustling in the interest of the service," chuckled the division chief. THAT FISH WEIGHS JUST-AH-UM-M-AH TEN ROUNDS salmon is strangely delicate. So it is that weighing them is entirely out of the question. The government has for years hired a veteran fisherman to make the rounds of the weirs on the little power boat and keep account of the fish. All the man had to go by was his judgment, but he could tell by a glance at a fish, even in the semidarkness of the car, about what it would weight—ten, twelve, fourteen or perhaps sixteen or eighteen pounds. It was guessing. Perhaps the government officials in Washington didn't approve of paying out money by guess. Whatever may have been the conclusion, the government guesser has lost his job. Hereafter twelve pounds will be the fixed weight of every salmon paid for In Rebellion. Mother—"Where are you going, boys?" Willie—"Over to the principal's house, mamma.

Significant to Friends and Enemies Was the Feathered Headgear So Proudly Worn by the Honored "Braves" of the Prallels. Few ornaments worn by the Indians are purely decorative, as we are accustomed to believe. Almost every fantastic part of the "Braves" garb, says the Boston Herald, was symbolic, and as such it was honored by the onlooker and esteemed by the proud possessor. Such was true especially of the feathered headgear known as the war bonnet. This ornament stood for the social relation, the interdependence, and was not directly connected with the supernatural, as were so many of the Indian's symbols. With the Omahas, the materialls required to make the bonnet were gathered by the man who wished to possess it, but its manufacture depended on the assistance of many persons. A sort of skull cap was made of dressed deerskin, with a flap hanging behind; a border of folded skin about the edge formed the foundation for the crown of golden eagle feathers, which were fastened so as to stand upright about the weaver's head. Each one of these feathers stood for a man; the tip of hair fastened to the feathers and painted red represented the man's scalplock. Before a feather could be fastened on the bonnet a man must count his honors which entitled him to wear the feather, and enabled him to prepare the feather for use in decorating the war bonnet. When a warrior counted his honors, he held up the feather which was to represent them, saying: "In such a battle I did this," etc. At the conclusion of the regiment the feather was handed to the man who was manufacturing the war bonnet, who then put the feather in its proper place. As many of these bonnets contained 50 or more feathers, and as each feather must have an honor counted upon it, and no honor could be counted twice, the manufactures of a bonnet required several helpers and the task took considerable time—often several days. Strips of ermine, arranged to fall over the ears and cheeks, were fastened to the bonnet. The ermine represented alertness and skill in evading pursuit. A bird or some other symbolic object could be fastened on the crown of the skull cap. This object was generally some feature of the man's vision through which he believed he received supernatural aid in the time of need. Sometimes the flap was embroidered with porcupine work or painted with symbolic designs. Songs were sung during the mating of the bonnet. Before the advent of the horse among the Indian tribes the flap of the bonnet did not extend below the waist, thus avoiding interference while walking or the wearing of other ornaments; but after the horses became plentiful the flap was extended to a man's feet when standing; when the man was mounted it lay on the back of his horse. In former times a man could not deck his leggings or shirt with a fringe of hair except by consent of the warriors. Honors had to be counted on the strands of hair as on the feathers used in making the war bonnet, therefore each lock, or tuff of the fringe stood for a war honor, and no honor could be counted twice. It was this custom that made garments of this character so highly valued. The hair for the fringe was generally furnished by the man's female relatives. Each of the locks forming the fringe was usually sewed in a heading of skin, frequently ornamented with quill work. The reason for the passing of these ancient and honorable decorations is obvious, since Uncle Sam has so rigorously forbidden war. Has Had Adventurous Life Dr. George Ernest Morrison, whose recent appointment as financial adviser to the president of China has droused adverse comment in Germany, the Tagliche Rundschau terming him "an enemy of Germany," is widely known as a writer and venturous traveler. He has been the Peking correspondent of the London Times for a long time. He' is a native of Australia, and was educated at Melbourne and the University of Edinburgh. During a journey through New Guinea in 1883 he was speared in the breast in an attack by natives, and it was not until the following year that the spearhead was cut out, the operation being performed in Edinburg. Probably his best-known book is "An Australian in China." Great Idea. John, aged 7, was very fond of running with his younger brother through the ash pile near home. Their mother remonstrated in vain about their shoes until she hit on the plan of making the boys clean them, John one day and little Arthur the next. This seemed a great joke until John had actually puffed over the 'task through the best part of an hour. He stuck it out, putting a shine on the four little shoes; then he went to his mother with serious face and said: "Mother, I've got the idea. I won't ever run through the ashes any more—except on Arthur's day to clean!" Not Loaded. "So those two lovely men were in love with you?" "Yes" "And they really fought a dual about you?" "Yes" "Swords or pistols?" "P-pistols!" "How exciting! Were they loaded?" "No, Both of them were sober." "And they scuttle a boat at the bottom, do they not?" "Why—yes."

Olivet, winners In the north division, — P¥esbytorian Teague, in the play-off for the cham. pionship of Cook county. Kirkiby started to pitch for the visitors, but gave way to Lipple, who aid well for a while, when he sud- denly played out, Phiester finished. Washington went all the way for Grace, allowing the visitors two hits. Nobody will ever know or ever will be able to appreeiate the clever work done at shortstop by Baker unless they saw the game itself. Baker has always been a good fielder, a good pitcher, but from his game at. short he seems to lave no equal. That's saying a good deal, but the credit is duo him. “He deserves it, Back to the game. In the visitors half of the opening inning they failed to solve Washington's offerings, while in our half Lewis, who led off, singled. Peacher fanned’ and Irwin éeored Lewis with a two base hit, With one run to the good nothing was doing on either side in the second, although Kyle went back after Mike Williams’ Jong drive and made a sensational catch. ‘The drive would have gone for home run. In our half of the third Washington poled a two sucker; Peacher’s long drive was too hard for Lipple to han- die and it went for a hit, Washington taking third and Peacher second on the throw in, Lewis singled for the wsecond time, scoring Washington. ‘With three and two on Irwin he fouled off a couple, then bit one for two bags, scoring Peacher and Lewis. Baker popped up a little fly for an out. Renfroe singled and Irwin came home. Motley struck out and Smith hit for single, then Williams fanned for the third out. Neither side could do anything m the fourth. {1 the visitors’ Afth Jordan hit a Texas leaguer which looked like a sure hit but Baker raced back after it with his back to the ball, saw it going over his head, gave one leap with’ his hand ontstretehed and nabbed the ball. It looked impossible but what you see you must. believe, Jn our fifth we got another tally. With two men out Renfroe was safe on an error and scoréd on “Motley's two ‘ase hit. Tn the visitors’ sixth’ Baker dupli: cated his feat of the inning before, this time robbing Phiester of a hit! In onr half Williams fanned, to the delight of the north side fans. Wash- ington struck out but Lewis came forth with his third single, but was ‘out stealing on Miller's perfect throw to Gripham. Nothing doing in the visitors’ sev- venth but our boys decided -to add a few more. Peacher was safe on an error. Irwin's single scored him. Da. Ker’s two base hit scored “Bernie” and Renfroo bit at three high ones and then,on a hit and run play, Ba- ker scored when Motley hit. sharply to the shortstop, who threw wild to catch Baker, Motley going to second on the play. Carey Smith fanned. Williams bit to the contér garden but a fine throw nipped our eateher at the Plate. In the eighth Lewis pulled down a long drive off the edge of the erowd. Our boys could do nothing in their half. With hope against them and their followers calling for a rally, Kir- kiby fanned. Jordan hit a hot one at Baker, wno came in at full speed, due it out of the sod, and whipped it to Peacher for the second out. Then the briltiont first sacker van fifty yards and got a high foul fy for the Third out, ending what was one of the most’ finely played games ever seen in Washington Park. ‘The Score. - WT. OLIVET.

Washington saved Peacher the only possible error by covering first and getting the putout by a fraction of a second.

By GUNUK JOHNGON, ‘The breakfast dishes had not yet been cleared away, and yet the Widow Sample sat on the back poreh with her hands clasped over one knee and a thoughtful look on ber face. She was a woman past forty, and owned and ran her iittle farm. ‘A matter had been bothering her for a tong, long time, and she was trying to find a way out. ‘Three years before, when Uncle Ab- ner Gates, widower, had met with an accldent to his wagon while driving to the village, and had called at her house to borrow tools to make repairs, she had thought well of him and be- lleved he had of her.

Hith't we been put Into this world to help each other?

The Widow Sample had a perfect right to look for the logical result, but it atdn’t come. Uncle Abner had- the same right, but just at the eritical moment he went to pieces like an old varrel belng rolled down hill. - Two minutes later he was in his wagon ariving off and saying to, himselt: “Abner Gates, you are a dumb old fraud and orter to be fed on frost-bit- ten turnips for a year to come! You want the Widder Sample and the Widder Sample wants you, but you hain't got the grit of a groundhog to ask for her!” Unele Abner came back again and again, He always led the conver sation around to unhappy widows and how thoy might find happiness by ai other marriage, and in this he was asslated more or less by the widow, but always and ever he lost bis cour. age at the critical moment and drove away calling himself all kinds - of hard names. ‘Women should have Ilcense under the new order of things to ask for the heart and hand of the man they love ‘They should not be kept dangling as the Widow Sample was. The uncer tainty of whether she was to become Mra. Gates ‘or Mrs. somebody else, or to go on being Mrs. Sample to the end of her days, was 4 very disagreeable situation. ‘Today she was on her back porch pondering this matter phen she should have been at the Idtehen sink with disholoth tn. hand, At the end of halt an hour a smile came to her free ghd sto heaved sjeh of reliet. Tho Widow Sample ha¢ found the idea she had long been secking, Uncle Abner Gates was at the gring stone in the barn putting an edge ox a seythe when a tramp came along and asited for food and work.

The Widow Sample had a idnd heart for tramps. She always {m- agined them victims of misfortune, and they were handed out food whether they offered to pay for it In work or not. In due thme the tramp with the squint eye and the twisted nose reached her hospitable farm house. The time meant the day after he had buncoed Uncle Abner Gates. ‘The fellow had just been chased away from the farm below .by a bulldog, and was out of breath and looking’ pale, Before te could re- mark that he hadn't had anything. to eat for three days, the widow took fone good look at him and threw up her hands with the exclamation: “Why, man, you are sick and orter be under the doctor's care.” Willie got his cue like a streak of greased lightning, and replied in pa- thetic tones: “But who cares it I am lek and Uxely to die? “I do.

The Widow Sample had a hunch that Uncle Ab- ner would be along néxt day and that if he found a patient there something ‘would happen. At 11 o'clock next morning, after a breakfast of tea and tost, and after more draughts, and after a dose of horse medicine, administered by the hired man, the tramp was planning to leave the house by way of the window when the widower appeared. He was at once informed that a poor man, who had-evidently seen better days, and who was most grateful for what had been dono for him, and who might turn out the nicest kind of a man, was a patlent in the parlor bedroom. “Oh, I see—I see,” replied Uncle Abner, as a strange feeling suddenly gripped him and was reflected in his face. “These ttle romances sometimes turn out very queer,” observed the widow, "Yea." “The stranger in distress some times turns out to be a rich man's son." “Yes, he does." “And there {s @ happy ‘marrage and plenty of money.” “Tust 50." "OF course, there may be nothing In it, but—” “Oh, ves, there ts!"

Two Sabbaths at Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church—Subject Tomorrow, Morning Service, "A Stopping Place on the Way." The second Sabbath day, as passed in the cosy new home of the Lincoln Memorial Congregational • church, Rhodes avenue and 64th street, was another landmark in the matter of attendance and spirit. From the initial service to the last, the presence of a greater than man was manifest in every word that dropped from the pastor's lips and in every prayer or song of praise that ascended to the great white throne. Rev. Mr. Law- REV. EUGENE C. LAWRENCE. rence was in fine spiritual fettle and preached a most eloquent and inspiring sermon. His subject was "Fidelity" as understood and applied in the relations of one to another in this life as preparatory and blazing the way to the life everlasting beyond the tomb, in worlds of higher mysteries and far away, where the worm enteenth not and the sunlight kissed into radiance by the Master's ineffable glory never fades. It was an appeal and picture of the cult that takes hold on our deeper, profounder feelings, and it will linger long in the memories of the fine congregation present. Last Sabbath's morning subject was "Friendship," text 18:14. The pastor's elucidation was illuminative and instructive. "Dividing it into two phases, its Human and Divine sides," he said in part, "Education and Friends pie the chief concerns of human society; money, as covering its economic interests, education as supplying the technical and religious." Defining friends as they effect and touch upon life in the home and associated occupations he quoted Emerson's definition as being one "in whose presence I may think aloud, who tells me of my faults and helps me to mend them." Continuing the preacher said, "How many times in life we are made to know that a true friend is above education, position, money and power. They start with us in the morning of life, they bend over our bed of sickness and distress, they banish the chill and horror of the grave with the blossoms and sunshine of their fidelity and whisper words of cheer to our spirit preening itself for its flight beyond the stars. Biography and history are rich with the portraits of great but overlooked lonely characters—kings and queens of Christian humility—but who, nevertheless, were known of and loved by the Master, in that they had served and loved their fellowmen." Services tomorrow will be most interesting. The morning subject will be, "A Stopping Place on the Way," Text; Matt. 22:4. "Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready." Notes. Dr. Lawrence has been much moved by the warm Christian welcome and encouragement that is being extended Lincoln Memorial by the inhabitants of Hyde Park of all denominations. Madam Gales, one of Chicago's Christian women, has presented the church, with a massive, beautifully embellished pulpit Bible. What? Haven't visited the Lincoln Memorial yet? Why not do so tomorrow? Make Bathing Form of Worship Our American bathing resorts pale into insignificance beside those of India—though to the Hindoo bathing is a religious duty as well as a personal luxury.

"CLASS RULE" IS PROGRESSIVE POLICY Evasive Explanations and Reasons That Jingle Can Only Mean Practical Disfranchisement of the Negro—No Legitimate Reason Sustains Their Promise of Eventual Justice to the Race—Expediency Sums Up Their Theory of Political Morals—What Will the American Negro Do?—The Chance of Chances Since Emancipation. TESTING THE FIF- This Generation Has Not Seen Such a Battle—A Half Century of Freedom Should Make the People Concerned Wise to the Future—it is Sufficient Time to Develop the Measure of Their Manhood—They Alone Can Prove Their Right to Citizenship—It Is the Second Emancipation—But What Would Lincoln Say? Mary Boyle O'Reilly in the Chicago Daily Journal. Treason to the republic was done in the name of progress at Chicago when a ukase of high voltage recklessness decreed that Negro citizens of southern states may not attend state conventions or be delegates to national conventions. Uncaddid verbage that cannot be reduced to any logical basis abrogas the fifteenth amendment: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any state, on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." Evasive explanations and reasons that jingle cannot conceal the fact that the "progressive" policy toward the Negro citizens constitutes practical disfranchisement, that, no legitimate reason sustains the "progressive" promise of eventual justice to the black man. The social justice that imposes political serfdom by recognizing class rule practically denies the constitutional rights of a race and is a drift to the precipice, not toward Utopia. "I am not afraid," orates the leader whose followers adopt the monarchial attitude that the king can do no wrong. Ah, but he should be afraid of offending against common humanity in committing a burdened people to the implacable enemies of their rights, afraid of disseminating policies reasonable to a republican form of government, mortally afraid of the malign calculation which kills all love but selflove. Party Policies Must Have Principles. No party of humanity can be reared from policies without principles. In sincere and incompetent treatment of the Negroes, whom Ormsby McHargo so recently went through the south to corral, is not patriotic service, but political sharp practice. It is a matter for national regret that "the great majority of the colored delegates from the south—those old rotten borough states—proved venal at past party conventions." But that fact has been notorious for generations, was accepted without rotest at both Roosevelt and Taft conventions. The offense of the 250 "rotten borough" delegates to the June convention may be crisply stated: if they were bought they staved bought. In denying political recognition to the black man "progressives" are not "standing against the brutality of the democracy and the hypocrisy of the republicans," but offering a bait of race prejudice to snare their democratic vote. Expediency sums up the "progressive" theory of political morals. The non-partisan progressive movement is non-est. Where, oh where, are the democratic progressives for whose beguilement the name of the new faction was assumed? The roll of the August convention should have an ominous sound to Negro citizens. Every column of ex-politicians is punctuated with the names of "leaders" whose claim to carry the colored vote promises less for the future equality of the Negro than for the immediate partisan advantage of the candidate. This is not the first time that black Americans have been declared outcast by Theodore Roosevelt. When Alabama, in adopting her present constitution, effectually eliminated the colored vote to build up a white man's party, Col. Roosevelt—then president—approved that strategy, reversing himself six months later to placate Booker Washington. The "Square Deal." Again, as commander-in-chief of the army of the United States, President Roosevelt dismissed three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry, colored, without proof of their guilt, and later sought to justify his arbitrary action by an alleged confession, repudiated by the alleged confessor and obtained by a Negro "detective," who could neither read or write. Would such obloquy be so wantonly cast upon white men? Would such "evidence" be accepted in any court of law? And yet the stigma on the Twenty-fifth infantry has done the colored people more harm than many lynchings. This, the jubilee year of Negro citizenship, relegates the nine-tenths who live and labor in "rotten, borough states" to political serfdom. No men need the square deal more than do the southern Negroes, yet "a party organized to give-what, existing parties will not grant" has already barred black men as political outcasts. If one day's activity result in practical defrenchishment, a year of power would threaten a new slavery. Although his hopes for progressive social justice have gone a glimmering, "progressive" spellbinders insist that the Negro is already placated. Free Negroes in the north and serf Negroes in the south are to be adroitly manipulated to vote against themselves. This generation has not seen such a testing of the fifteenth amendment. The outcome rests with Negro Americans who have had half a century of freedom in which to develop the measure of their manhood. They alone can now prove their right to citizenship. It is a second emancipation. But what would Lincoln say? HON. W. ALLISON SWEENEY TAKES TO STUMP. Hon. W. Allison Sweeney, 3250 Vernon avenue, will make his first speech in the campaign under the auspices of the National Republican Committee at Quincy, Ill., Monday night next, the 23d. PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. Richie Coles of Kansas City, Mo., returned to her home last Wednesday. Before going, the lady left instructions to have her subscription to the paper renewed. Mr. Windell P. McKemey, who is one of the best stewards on the great lakes, was overcome by the heat during the recent hot wave, but with his usual indomitable courage he remained with his boat, the Jay C. Morse, and reports to his mother on Loomis boulevard that he is now improving, though far from well. This young man holds a position that is mostly given to fully matured men, but in spite of his twenty-two years, ability has caused his rapid promotion. Mr. Benjamin Farrar Byson had the misfortune to break his leg last Friday while endeavoring to make his motorcycle do the "fan-tan gavote." This necessitates "leaving him here," as the Byrons left Tuesday for an eight months' trip. Tood bad, Ben, old top. Mr. Peter Madden, erstwhile Chicagoan, now of Omaha, in the government service, is a visitor in our midst. He came to see his relatives and friends and indirectly to see his former team, "Grace S. S," win the City championship. Mr. Charles A. Jordan is resting this week after a strenuous summer. Mr. Jordan's position with the New York Central lines has kept him out of the city every Sunday and most of the week since May. Mr. William Miller, also of the New York Central lines, has just returned from a rather extended trip to Alaska. It is with regret that we hear of the death of Mrs. Fannie Bryant. Those who knew Mrs. Bryant and who knew of her last illness will bear testimony to the fact Mrs. Bryant for months has known that her days were numbered, and that a braver, more Christian-like person cannot be found. May her soul rest in peace. Miss Magery Turner has returned from Oshkosh after a ten days' visit. Other Chicagans there were Officer and Mrs. John Lee and Mrs. Le Roy Henry, all of whom were guests of Mr. Henry's cousins. We are advised that Mrs. Bessie Brady Thomas died in New York on last Friday. Mrs. Thomas' is well known in Chicago, having spent her girlhood days on the South Side. After having seemingly recovered from an operation, and her brother, Mr. Ed. Brady, had left Chicago, Mrs. Thomas was suddenly stricken again, and the next operation was unsuccessful. The burial will be in Chicago. Mrs. Mayme Brady Alexander was with her sister. We, along with the many friends of the family, sympathize with the bereaved ones. Rev. John Wesley Hill, pastor Tabernacle Methodist Church, New York City, will speak at Quinn Chapel on Sunday evening, Sept. 22. Subject will be "International Peace." The meeting will be held under the auspices of the Negro Fellowship League. You are cordially invited to be present. Mrs. James F. Hall of 6015 Wabash avenue and Mrs. George Pannell of 4900 State street will leave Sunday for a two weeks' visit in Decatur, Ill. They will laso visit in East St. Louis, Ill., before returning home.

Palmer, who has been sick for a few weeks, is up and doing fine. Rev. S. McDowell, who has been on the sick list, is some better. Mr. and Mrs. John Trent entertained visiting guests—Mr. and Mrs. Davis of Chicago; Mrs. Young of Peris, Ill.; Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Tucker of Carthage, Ill., and a few other friends. Everybody had a delightful time. Refreshments were served. Music was furnished by Mr. Tucker and Mr. Trent. Mr. and Mrs. Tucker left last evening for Keokuk, Ia. They will spend a few days there on their way home. Mrs. James Brooks has returned home from Chicago. Mrs. B. T. Graham has returned home from Chicago. John Earle, a well known Burlington boy, died at Frankfort, Mo., Sunday night after an illness covering one year. He was taken to his home at Quincy, Ill., where the funeral services will be held. He was one of the great boys of Quincy and was well liked by everybody. He leaves a wife, mother and father, one sister and five brothers. He served as president of the Quaker club for ten years.

CENTER OF DRUM INDUSTRY Massachusetts Town From Which Instruments Are Turned Out by Hundred Thousand Yearly. The town of Granville, Mass., sends out nearly half a million toy drums every year. It is no wonder that Granville lads, however soldierly, care nothing about drums, for they are too old a story. As in other businesses, there is a constant demand for new models and designs, and a popular drum of today may find no sale tomorrow. A unique drum made a number of years ago has never been duplicated. It was made for advertising purposes, and the hoops were eight feet in diameter. A search was made all about Granville for the biggest cattle, and a whole hide was used for a head. Before the drum was put together a horse was driven through the barrel, so that an idea of its size can be obtained. The "drumsticks" were small telegraph poles." The drum was taken to Boston and exhibited. The building in which it was displayed collapsed, however, and the huge drum was ruined. But its memory still lives in Granville and has become a tradition of the place. | A peculiar feature in connection with the drums shipped to, the Pacific coast is that the heads, which are unable to stand the dampness and heat of a tropical sea voyage, are sent across the country by rail. When the parts arrive they are set up again, and the drums are ready for sale. The drums are first put together before leaving the factory, and each part fitted, so that the reassembling is an easy matter. | The process of making drums reveals the same minute subdivision of labor that is shown in all 'modern manufacturing'. How minute this is maybe shown by the fact that a single workman is able to turn out more than 2,000 pieces a day of some of the parts. The making of the heads is an interesting process. The sheepakpins arrive in a partially dressed state, and are at once scraped and dried. Cutters are put to work and circular pieces cut out. Part of the waste is used in making snaredrums and the rest is shipped to the glue factory. The finer drumheads are made of calfskin, stretched and dried by a special process. The wooden barrel of the drum is made by a machine, which takes a log of wood and peels from it, somewhat as a skin is peeled from an apple. Speed "Why did you make that hasty pudding for lunch?" "Because it is a fast day." Because it is a fast day. All branches of the business taught at reasonable rates.
