This indebtedness was just a matter of trust. Not a note existed; but during his sibr stay he paid Mr. Pony Moore $60. Mr. T. Williams $300, Mr. P.

"My old friend Pony Moore nearly collapsed when he received the little bunch of money that I owed him, but he will not be bale so surprised as my Canadian friends when I return with a string of auto-mobiles." While in the city Mr. Watkins made his headquarters at the Marquette club, Mr. William Bowman's swell State street safe. He circulated around the various places but he declaimed that the Marquette club is the swelliest place of its kind on the south side. Mr. Bowman, he says, gives more entertainment and service for the money than any similar place in Chicago. His advice to the young men of Chicago is to wake up and not let an outsider outdistance them. Mr. and Mrs. Watkins were the guests of Mrs. Clara Kerr, 3212 State street, and speak in glowing terms of Chicago hospitality. LETT'S CAFE IS CLOSED. Famous Bohemian Closes Buffet and Restaurant for Lack of Patronage — Elite Dined at His Place. Frequenters of "The Stroll" were surprised this week to find Charley Lett's 20th Century Cafe, 3132 State street, closed. Many were the reasons advanced for this sudden quitting of Chicago's most famous restaurant. "Mine Host" Lett is widely known in this line of business. The place just closed was not his first venture. But being a man who believed in the best of everything he found that the patronage did not warrant further outlay and he quit. A Chicago Defender reporter in conversation with one of his close friends elicited the following: "Charley Lett is too high class for the present day trade in that line along State street. Alex Stephens tried the same thing a few years ago, with the same results. Twenty-five years from now, Lett. Stephens or some other man will be able to make a success of a cafe that is exclusive. By that time the frequenters of "The Stroll" will have learned how to appreciate and pay for up-to-date service." Mr. Lett could not be reached by telephone at his home, so his views on the matter will make another story at a later date. ENTERTAIN·CHICAGOANS. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Jamestown, N.

JACK JOHNSON TAKES MUCH NEEDED REST. The World's Champion Fighter Rests Quietly in Chicago Since the Death of His Wife—Only Diversion from Business is Automobilizing. Since the trying times attendant upon the death and burial of his wife, Champion Jack Johnson has been resting quietly in Chicago. Aside from the trips occasioned by his business affairs, he has only found recreation in an occasional gain in one of his fast automobiles. He has not signed for any fights as yet and will give no definite reply when questioned about such matters. For fear that his many Chicago friends had not read the full text of his lamented wife's last letter to her mother he has asked. The Chicago Defender to publish at the time. The letter was discovered after Mrs. Johnson's death and is as follows: The Last Letter. Chicago, Aug. 12, 12. My Dear Mother: I am writing this and am going to have Jack put it in his safe, so if anything should happen to me there will be no hard feelings to me me. I would send this letter to you yourself know how much you worry and I do not want know how sick I really am. Jack has done all in his power to cure me but it is no use. Since papa's death I have worried myself in my grave. I haven't been worrying over papa's loss, only over some horrible dread—I don't know what. I want to be buried here in Chicago. Never try to take my body to Hempstead only to be a mark for curiosity seekers—let me rest for once. With love and always the sweetest to you, I am your loving daughter, ETTA. Jack stated that he offered the letter as proof that current rumors of his alleged mistreatment of his wife were unfounded and to show that she had been ill. QUINCY, ILL., HAS EMANCIPATION RALLY. Hon. W. Allison Sweeney, Principal Speaker at Colored Taft Club's Enthusiastic Meeting. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Quincy, Ill., Sept. 27.—Two hundred attended the emancipation rally of the Colored Taft club of Quincy, held in the armory on Maline street Tuesday evening. Enthusiasm for the Republican cause and ticket was in evidence on all sides. The speeches by J. Silas Harris of Kansas City and W. Allison Sweeney of Chicago dealt with the great issues of the day and were frequently applauded. The program included also music and a brief talk by George H. Wilson. The meeting was presided over by Samuel Morton. After a selection by the quartette, J. Silas Harris, a prominent schoolman of Kansas City, and president of the Colored National Educational Association, delivered an address along the lines of progress of the race and the things which have made that progress possible. The speech of W. Allison Sweeney, a journalist and politician from Chicago was fiery and eloquent for President Taft and the G. O. P. and was inheaven sense a rousing political speech. He said that the colored folks had no more cause now than they had in the past to desert the great Republican party which has been one of the chief aids to the race in its chirp to civilization from degradation of slavery. The speaker pointed to Lincoln, Harrison and Garnfield as men who had faithfully filled the presidential chair and then added Taft's name to the list, saying that the loyalty of a man like Taft should be appreciated by the voters and that he should be allowed to continue the good work for another four years. He Asailed Roosevelt. It was with great bitterness and eloquence that the speaker assailed Theodore Roosevelt as a narrow-minded hypocrite, a selfish and vain bragart and a party traitor and party smasher. Woodow Wilson, personally, was not so bitterly denounced, but was classified as a man who is bound by the monied interests and by Tammany bosses. The speaker was greatly applauded when he discussed the Bull Moose frauds at the Republican convention and pointed out that Roosevelt was the one above all others who would ignore the rights of the black man if his own selfish interests would be advanced thereby. It was a late hour when the emancipation rally broke up. Lemonade and light refreshments were mixed with the enthusiastic political talks after adjournment. MRS. SARAH VINEY Mother of the Popular Proprietor of the Marquette Club Meets With Heavy Loss. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Springfield, Ohio, Sept. 27.—Mrs. Sarah Viney, mother of Mr. William Bowman, proprietor of the Marquette Club, Chicago, and who had just returned from a visit. there, was a victim of robbers this week. The daring burglar who entered her home got away with diamond ear-rings,ugger-rings, a gold watch and a handsome silver jewel box. There is no clue to the robbers, but the local police are working hard on the case. Mrs. Viney is heart-broken over her loss, as the articles stolen were gifts from her son, during her recent visit to Chicago. In reply to a telegram from The Chicago Defender correspondent, Mr. Bowman said that he would place the matter in the hands of a private detective agency. CHICAGO, ILL.. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1912. NO JIM CROW SCHOOLS IN CHICAGO School Circles Greatly Agitated This Week Over Reported Attempt to Segregate Negro Pupils—Pass Slips to Pupils at the Wendell Phillips High School—No Foundation to the Report—The Chicago Defender Makes a Careful Investigation—Idea Is Outcome of Recent Meeting of National Negro Business League. Prof. Charles H. Perrine, Assistant Principal, Corroborates. Statement—Only an Attempt to Classify Studies Preferred by Negro Pupils—Students Run to Parents When Slips Are Received—Parents Seek Advice from This Publication, Which Refers Them to the Board of Education or the School Principal. The pupils at the Wendell Phillips high school were greatly agitated early this week when typewritten slips addressed to the Negro pupils were passed around. So peculiar was the wording that many of the pupils fled in consternation to their parents. The parents were equally perplexed, and it was only when someone telephoned to the Chicago Defender office for advice that the matter was satisfactorily explained. About the same time that the complaint was made to this office someone made complaint to Banker Jesse Blinga. After several conferences they visited the school on Thursday and interviewed Prof. Spencer R. Smith, the principal, and Prof. Charles H. Perrin, the assistant principal. Mr. Perrine Talks. Mr. Perrin, in a lengthy talk with a reporter, declared: "I alone am responsible for any misconstruction that could have been placed on the passing of these slips. "I attended the recent meetings of the National Negro Business league and noted the emphasis statistics that were compiled concerning the Negro scholar." The investigation by Editor Abbott and Mr. Blinga shows plainly that the active workers along the sociological lines have gained some new friends in this city. The Much-Talked-Of Slip.

What evidently would have proven quite a mess has turned out all right under the light of careful investigation.

Well Known Secret Society Member is Buried from Grace Presbyterian Church—I'll for About a Year. The Late Mrs. Fanny E. Bryan. Funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Fannie E. Bryan were held at Grace - Presbyterian. Church Wednesday of last week. The pastor, Rev. Moses H. Jackson, officiated. He drew an inspiring lesson from the Christian life of the deceased. Having embraced the Christian religion in early life, she was ever an ardent and consistent Christian. The services were made more impressive by several solos. Mrs. Martha B. Anderson sang "There Is No Night There," while Miss Charlotte Tervalon sang "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth." Miss Gertrude Jackson was the accompanist. Mrs. Bryan was a member of Princess Hagar Chapter, Friendship Court, Herlons of Jerico, and the Independent Order of Calanthe. All of these orders attended the funeral. Interment was at Oakwood cemetery. Mrs. Bryan was one of Chicago's most beloved women. She was born in Lexington, Ky, Jan. 1, 1863, and died Saturday, Sept. 14, at her residence, 3728 Dearborn street after an illness of about one year. PROF. T. T. TAYLOR RETURNS. Prof. T. Thomas Taylor, who this summer has been engaged by the Redpath Bureau as planist, filled this engagement with entire credit and satisfaction. He will reorganize his class in planofore work Oct. 1. Pupils desiring to arrange for study can phone Hyde Park 3266. Self-praise is no recommendation. That's why people hire press agents. BURGLARS RANSACK MADDEN HOME. Mr. and Mrs. James S. Madden, Miss Edith, and Other Residents Suffer Loss by a Daylight Intruder. COLLEGES REJECT A NEGRO PUPIL THE LATE S. COLE- RIDGE-TAYLOR A Letter of Appreciation From Friend, Former Pupil — Memor Mr. and Mrs. James Madden, 5711 Wabash avenue, Miss Edith Madden, their daughter, and Miss Tallahassaa Smith, who resides there, are all mourning the loss of money or other valuables. It happened on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Madden was working on the back porch in the early afternoon when an unknown intruder boldly walked in the front door, helped himself to $10.00 in a penny savings bank, belonging to Miss Tallahassaa Smith, a gold watch and chain and some family heirlooms belonging to Mrs. Madden, ja smoking set and jacket belonging to Mr. Madden, packed them all in a school book grip of Miss Edith's and departed for parts unknown. The matter was promptly reported to the police, but their only clue was an imperfect description of the thief by Mrs. Leary who resides in the first flat. She saw him leaving the house with Miss Madden's grip. For audacity this burglar takes the cake. He coolly sat down and made a note of the things he had taken, and it has been suggested that he must have had a cash register to ring up the money. Pete Madden said: "If I catch that fellow, will make him hard to hold, believe me." Philadelphia, Sept. 27.—This week Mayor Rudolph Blankenberg received a delegation of fifty of the most representative of Philadelphia's business and professional men in interest of the Emancipation Proclamation Exposition, to be held in September, 1913. The mayor expressed his great interest in the colored people and promised his hearty support for the Exposition. He will recommend an appropriation from the city and also recommend that free use of a suitable building, in which to hold the affair, be granted the promoters. Hon. Harry W. Bass, as master of ceremonies, introduced the delegation's spokesman, Richard R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, who outlined the progress made by the race since its freedom from slavery, and told of the proposed celebration. Rev. Henry McDuffy, Bishop Tyree, Bishop Tanner and Walter P. Hall spoke in endorsement. The visitors were delighted with the warm reception the mayor gave their project. Among those present were Bishop Evans Tyne, Bishop Benjamin Tucker Tanner, Hon. Harry W. Bass, secretary of the Emancipation Proclamation of Pennsylvania: Hon. Richard A. Cooper, Rev. Charles V. Monk, Rev. J. T. Smith, Alexander W. Gunn, Rev. R. L. Cummings, Rev. T. J. Moppins, Dr Wm. A Sinclair, Mr. S. M. Francis, James H. Williams, Rev. H. D. Brown, James A. Howard, Rev. H. H.

Loving Countrymen of Famous Poet and Novelist to Perpetuate His Memory by a Huge Granite Monument. Waterloo, Belgium, Sept. 26.—Sunday last the first stone of a monument to Victor Hugo was laid on the battlefield described by the French poet and novelist in "Les Miserables." A great throng of French and Belgians attended. The memorial will be a simple granite column symbolizing Hugo's appeal for international peace. The relic house erected near the farm house where Napoleon established his headquarters were thrown open today for the first time. There have been gathered bones and weapons collected from all parts of the field. COLLEGES REJECT A NEGRO PUPIL A Girl Graduate, Accompanied by Her Father, Has a Hard Time Seeking Entrance to a Business College—Three Institutions That Advertise Instruction Along That Line Will Not Accept Her Because She Is a Negro—In Open Defiance of State Laws. Colorphobia is a Disease Easily Cured in Illinois No Matter Where It Appears—A Strong Law That Has Been Fully Tested—First One Placed on the Statute Books a Decade Ago and Recently Strengthened by Hon. Edw. D. Green, President of the State Legislature—Offending Institutions in the Limelight. Colorphobia has again broken out in Chicago. This time it is the so-called business colleges that are the aggressors. Recently a young lady graduate of the Wendell Phillips high school applied for admission to the Bryant & Stratton business college, the Chicago business college and the Metropolitan business college. By evasion and subterfuge each and every one of these institutions refused admission to this girl. Prejudice was the only bar. One principal said that he would hold the matter under advisement; another said that they had never had any Negro pupils and did not care to set precedent, while the third absolutely refused admission to the young lady in question. This much refused applicant was accompanied by her father, giving substantial support for legal redress. It should such steps be contemplated. It is not necessary in a newspaper article to quote the Illinois law on discrimination. The colleges in question certainly lessened their influence by such action. The applicant, be it said, has found entrance into a school of such merit and prominence that it doesn't have to adopt the nasty methods of the south to gain patronage. 32ND ANNUAL MEET OF THE TRUE REFORMERS. Well (Known Fraternal Order Sessions in Richmond, Va.-M. T. Bailey Heads Western Delegation—Governor Makes Welcome Address. (Special to The Chicago Defender.)

A Letter of Appreciation From a Friend, Former Pupil — Memory Will Ever Live With Those Who Have "the Spirit of Song." By Clarence Cameron White. Boston, Mass., Sept. 27.—Those of us who knew Mr. Coleridge-Taylor best are just beginning to realize that it is really true that our eminent composer has passed to the great beyond. When the news came from London on Sept. 2 that Samuel Coleridge-Taylor had died the day before, we could not believe that that master of only 37 years was no more. But alas, it is too true. I believe that Mr. Coleridge-Taylor's life and work meant more to the young Negro musician and music student here in America than can be told in words. That his life was an inspiration to me is putting it mildly. My acquaintance with Mr. Coleridge-Taylor dates back to my student days at Oberlin (1896-1900) when I received from him a number of his violin compositions and a very kind letter, saying that Mr. Frederick London, who was then in London, has spoken to him of me. It is useless for me to say how eagerly I practiced those compositions and how many, many times I read and re-read that letter. On the occasion of Mr. Coleridge-Taylor's first visit to America I had the honor of playing with him for the first time in America his "African Dances" and then was formed a friendship that lasted up till the time of his death. During my two years' study in London it was my great privilege to be his pupil in theory and to play in the famous String Players' Club of which he was then the conductor. As London Ronald, the famous English conductor, says in the London Daily Telegraph of Sept. 3: "Mr. Coleridge-Taylor was in every sense a gentleman and was ever able to give a helping hand, and had a kindly word for everybody. He was one of the most modest men it has been my life to meet. And so it was I knew him to meet. He was always the devoted husband of his father. How well I remember many delightful walks we had about both London and Croydon where he lived. Only a few weeks ago I received a long letter from him, telling of his new works and of what he had accomplished during the past season and how he was looking forward to his early autumn work. As both friend and teacher I found him a man of great personality and one who out of the goodness of his heart was ever ready with encouraging words and helpful suggestions. He had a keen sense of humor and always enjoyed a good story. Those who knew him best will never forget his cheery smile and affable manner. It was indeed a blessing to know him and count him as a friend. Coleridge-Taylor will live as long as there is a boy or girl with Negro blood in his or her veins who has the "spirit of song" in his or her heart, and his life and achievements will be a beacon light to all who have the ambition to go on and accomplish great things in the art in which he was such a glorious star. MISS MAUDE ROBERTS OFF TO SCHOOL Promptly Reaches, Destination and Writes to Mother at Once—Can Others Who Leave Home See the Point? Miss Maude J. Roberts left Sunday night for Lane College at Jackson, Tenn., to take up her second year work in advanced commercial teaching. This is a part of her letter to her mother: Lane College, Jackson, Tenn., Sept. 24—My Dear Mother: I suppose you have received my card by this time and know that I arrived safely. I was very tired when I got here but had a good night's rest and am feel- ing fine. Prof Lane told me when I came that I was not looking as well, that is as stout, as he had hoped I would have. Miss Meek, the young lady who took lessons of me last year, left last night for Fisk, and there are quite a number of the students who have gone to other schools. My department will be larger. I think this year. THE WC GREAT WEEKLY NEWSH PRICE 5 CENT CHICAGO'S SCHOOL SYSTEM TO BE IMPROVED CHICAGO'S SCHOOL SYSTEM TO BE IMPROVED Many Boys and Girls Lea School Before. They Reach to Seventh Grade—Parents Unable to Keep Them There Longer—Become Wage-Earners at 13 and 14 Years—Causes Nation to Retrograde—Future Generations to Be Physically and Mentally Strong Must Be Provided For Now—Present System to Be Bettered if the Plans of the Association of Commerce and Other Organizations Are Carried Out. TO PETITION LEGISLATURE FOR VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS. Great Praise for Former Superintendent Edwin G. Cooley and the Present School Head, Miss Ella Flagg Young—The United States the Most Progressive of Civilized Countri and Must Continue So-Cilica School System. Will Be P. When Suggested Improvement Are Made—A Grave Responsibility for Our Prominent Educators and Organizations. By D. W. Johnson. Upon the children of today depends the future of the coming generations. If the children are physically and mentally weak, so will be the men and women of the future. If they are strong, active and intelligent, the future nation will be well equipped to cope with all the problems of life which may confront them. The basis and strength of a civilized people depend upon the amount and quality of the education which the children receive. The United States is one of the most progressive civilized countries of the world. But there is a grave question as to whether it will continue so unless there is more attention devoted to the education of the children. Many Half Educated Children. It is stated that about one-half of the boys and girls leave school before they reach the seventh grade. A condition of this kind means a retrogression of the nation. No people can expect a continued progress with its children less than half educated. The probable cause of this condition is that many parents are unable to keep their children in school beyond that period as they are necessary to the assistance in the support of the family. Leaving school at this time they are practically incapable of earning a decent wage, and will therefore become a drudge upon society, adding nothing to the good of the community. It is highly important then that some step be taken to better these conditions. Vocational Schools Suggested. Vocational Schools Suggested. Cahokia now has a splendid public school system built up under the able and efficient management of former Superintendent Edwin G. Cooley and the present superintendent, Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. But it does not seem to go far enough, it does not fill the necessary want and need of the community. There is a great need at the present time for the teaching of industrialism, for the preparation of boys and girls, who are unable to continue a literary course. To meet this need a tentative draft of a law to be presented to the state legislature has been agreed upon by the educational committees of the Commercial Club of Chicago, the Chicago School of Commerce and the Hamilton Club. This law provides for the establishment of vocational schools. Such schools would go a long way in meeting the needs of the many thousands of children who are compelled to begin the battle of life at the 'ender age of 14. The plan as proposed will not interfere with the elementary schools in the least, but it will be greatly facilitated by having the expert knowledge of one of the superintendents from each local school; he being a member ex-officio of the local vocational school board. Population Grows Rapidly. The population of Chicago is growing at a rapid rate and the school system must necessarily keep pace with the needs and growth of the city, unless it does instead of turning out men and women who will be a credit to the community it will be a veritable manufactory, of thugs, thieves and bums. This important law, if passed, will be effective throughout the state, but the need of it will not be realized elsewhere more fully than in Chicago. Therefore, it in up to Chicago's proponent educators and organizations to push it to its conclusion. MURDERED! ROOSEVELT AND HIS HANDFUL OF NEGRO BULL MOOSERS—W.

Jn making a summary of the polit- feal events of the week from a col- ered man's point of view and interest, ‘the unqualified indorsement of Presi- dent Taft by the National Baptist onvention, recently in session at Houston, Texas, is the most impor- tant; the diatribe against the Negro eiyen out by Migs Alice Carpenter, of “reokline, Mass. is the most vindict- ge atte o¥era boutfe National @ontefencé of the Brindle Bull Moos- ara at the Lasalle Hotel in this elty ia the moat amusing. Baptists Indorse Taft, ‘Pho indorsement of President Tatt ‘by the National Baptist Convention, the governing body of all of the col- ered Baptist churches in the United States, is one of the most significant and far-reaching developments of this remarkable campaign, That a rell- gious organization of such large nu- merical strength and influential char- acter should consider it to be its re- Mgious duty to sound the note of warning to the Negro race of the im- pending crisis, is a fact that cannot bo passed over lightly. #: Some of tho best and most con- structive brains in the Negro race are identified with the National Baptist eonvention, and the vote of this as- sembly that it behooves the colored man to arouse from his lethargy and buckle~on “nis armor-to defend his Uberty ag a citizen from the menace ef theoretical rainbow-chasers should stir the Negro as he has not been atirred in years. 7 Joan D'Arc of Bull Moosismi, ‘Miss Alice Carpenter, of Brookline, _Mass., one of the by-products as weil as the high priestess of Progressive- Sem, has vindleated the handicap of the woman fn politics; she has talked too much. Miss Carpenter, it will be Temembered, was a member of the ‘ommittee on resolutions of the Pro- gressive National convention, and is at present a member of the New York provisional Progressive committee. She claims to be of abolitionist stock, and her sex precludes a denial, but we imagine that William Lioyd Gar- Mgon and Wendel Phillips are restless in their graves could they hear the re- markable expression that Miss Car- penter has delivered herself of: “I do not believe in serfdom,” says ‘Miss Carpenter, but this country must keep the Negro in his place. What is his glace? Surely not to have a voice in the election of presidents, He must be a hewer of wood and a drawer of water. In politics the Negro has been simply a butfer between the two parties, and he can only be tolerable by forming a new party without him. Every white woman In the United States will subscribe to this. It is like the parable of tho talents. He was given the right to vote and he buried it beneath venality and lust; so, now, {t should be taken trom him until he knows how to invest It” Come forward, Miss Progressive Garpenter! Stand aside, there, Vard- aman, Tillman, Jeff Davis and Gov. Bleaso! You are only selling platers, anyway. Aye, come forward, our dear Miss Carpenter, of the’ Bull Moose party, we wish to present you with the grand prize as a defamer of the Negro, The Brindle Bull Moosers. Beyond peradventure of doubt the long talked of conference of the Brindle Bull Moosers was the sad- dest and most sodden fiasco in the Ristory of politics. ‘Telegrams were tent to colored men In various parts ef the country asking them to be pregent at a national conference of the Brindle Bull Moosers which was to have been held at the La Salle ‘hotel in this clty last Saturday. As ‘but few responses were forthcoming, ‘the kindly offices of Joseph Medill ‘McCormick were enlisted and he telegraphed to many of the recalcit- rant that if they would come to Chl. ago he would see that their fares -were paid. So it came to pass that tho Brindle Bull Moosers assembled, eighteen in number, ten of whom ame from in and around Chicago. ‘The olive branch of peace was con- spicuous by its absence in the dec rations, because Mr, Beauregard “F. ‘Moseley messed up the party-by de- elaring that the whole idea of calling colored conference was wrong. “The eolored people. complain..about the white, ‘thes jim-crowing ‘them, and Kero they’ are jlmcrowing ‘them. selves.” ‘He was overridden, however,’ be: ecure the seonference’ was already faery: Shey. had some nico Uttle kia depgarten exercises In chirogrephy an composition, in which sheo‘s of Payer were. passed around and! those resent were requested to write short essays on the subject: “Why I Am a Mooser.” In handing out the money for the expenses of those who bad come ftom the three adjoining states, there was @ considerable rumpus be. cause some of them bad presumed to ride-in sleepers, and Pullman cars were not nominated in the bond. Several others were sorely disap- pointed because of the announcement that all of those who participated in the hustings must not expect more than their actual expenses. This created quite a rumpus among those ‘who had come for the purpose of con- necting with tho Harvester ;Trust payroll. ‘The Brindle Bull BMooso conference finally adjourned after going on rec- ord as one of the most ludicrous ‘iz zles tn the eampalgn.

WILLIAMS JUBILEE COM- PANY DRAWS BIG HOUSE AT QUINN CHAPEL. By Julius N. Avendorph. The . Williams Jubilee Company gave a concert Thursday evening at Quinn Chapel church, Sept. 19, which Proved the biggest success of the season and one of the largest and most appreciative audiences that ever greeted a concert company. Mr. Wil- Hams’ specialty, sneezing at intervals, was #0 perfectly executed that it was some time before the audience real- ized ‘that it was part of the program which proved very amusing. ‘There are eight people in the company and they all are deserving of special men- tion. Mr, G, L, Johnson, who's rich sweet tenor voice was the finest we have heard in Chicago for some years. Mr. Crabbs has a magnificent bass voice and handles it well. Mrs, Jennta Greene's voice still retains its sweet- ness and pleasing to hear at all times, Mrs. William's rich contralto voice was at its best and sho made quite a hit with her new song, “Just Because I Am Black.” Mrs, Hackley’s voice Is always pleasing and she was particu- larly good on this occasion. Mr. J. H. Johnson fills the part of second tenor amicably. Miss Hobbs as usual was at the plano and acquitted herself splendidly. -The floral offerings were the largest, I think I can safely say, that was ever given a set of artists on any one evening in Chicago.

PRESIDENT TAFT PRAISES EMANCIPATOR, Says “That It is Right That Lincoln Should be Held Up In History as the Man Chiefly ‘Responsible - for the Freedom of the Negro.” Beverly, Mass, Sept, 27.—On’ Sept. 22, before President Taft’ left Bover- ly, a letter, written by him in whieh he praised’ the courage of President Lincoln in issuing the emancipation proclamation, was made piblle. It said in part: “The Issuance of the emanclpation ‘proclamation was the initial ang the most important step in the freeing of 5,000,000 of slaves. Until the eman- cipation of the Negroes the assertion that ours was the country of Itberty was untrue, ‘The Constitution and Declaration of Independence were ut- terly at variance with each other in the recognition that the former gave th property in human tind.

HOME FOLKS ARE BEST Revelation That Caine to Girl About to Elope. By JOANNA SINGLE. ‘The Cool ‘stillness of/the September evening came into the little upper room where Drusilla sat huddled on the floor with both arms on the win- dow sill while she waited for the dusk to become darkness. Sho hardly breathed, though she knew that her door was locked, that sho was sup- Posed to-have gone to bed with a slight headache, and that her parents would not disturb her. It was a task for her heart to Keep on feeling hot and angry enough so that she could leave them without a word and slip off to marry a man—any man—but Yeast of all ono like Henry Main, whom they had done their best to keep away from her. They told her she was too young to know. Worse than that, they wanted her to marry Max just because she had been en- gaged to him before Henry eame into tho, netghborhood for his summer's vacation, At. thought ‘of Max sho rose, smoothed down her bluo serge skirt and put on her hat, Max had gone too far when ho ordered hef abso- lutely not to speak to the other man. She did not Ike Jealousy, He would seo now that lie had made a mistake. It he had just asked her not to—but no, even then she could not have helped ‘loving the older, more sophis- tleated man, with bis tender, master. ful ways. She did not Ike to go to ‘him in this way. Finally she heard tho little clock on the shelf downstairs strike 10, and though she was shivering with fear and the misery of leaving Aer own ttle room, she sltpped into the hall, her shoes In her hand. She walted, hoard her father’s deep breathing from the open room, and then slipped down ‘the back stairs to the kitchen and out into the yard. ‘There was no moon, and Drustila, child as sho still was, shrank from going alone in the dari through the field to the bit of wood where he would be waiting for her. Max was always prowling about, since his farm was neighboring,’ and might Ss meesen tor Musk to Become Darkness, come upon them. Now the slender girl stole about the barn whero old Beauty, she mare, thrust ont her head and whinnied softly for attention, Druste stopped a moment to lay het face against the kindly old creature, and then passed through the orchard, trembling at every step, wondering whether in the morning hor mother would cry, or whether she would just Jook gray and old as sho had done when she saw that her daughter was emissing Max. As sho came to the bit of pasture between orchard and wood, she sud- @enly remembered Henry, and the magnetic halft-hypnotiem’ of: him numbed her senses and made her for- get all but him. He would take care of her; bo loved her; they would go to ¢he city and real life would begin for her. Then sho recallod her big, bluft, blue-eyed lover and his angry con tempt for tho other man, bls injus- tloe, his almost violence, As if she couldn't tell a good man from a bad ‘one, What right had he to forbid her to see any ono sho liked? By this, now fearless, sho was en- tering the woos path whore a little farther on was the big treo where Henry was waiting, and where under some bushes waited a suitcase with a fow things sho had taken out there, one by one, during the last tew days, She almost laighed to herself to think she had reached the place with- out somehow meeting Max—he had beon almost omnipresent the last few ‘weeks, although she would not speak to him, Henry had gone back to the elty, aud even now no one was sup- posed to know that ho was driving over for her from a nelghboring towa, from which they would later take a night train. She was glad she had not met Max. Once safe in the trees she gave a Uttle low call Ike @ quail and waited for an answer; but receiving nono, called again, and ther! listened, What she heard was a crashing of bushes at some distance, and suddenly the angry voices of men. Instantly she Hid ‘herself. Probably Henry was waiting for these people to pass be- fore he showed himself. Flat on the ground under the brush the girl ley, ber heart going like mad with fear and suspense, The voices were louder, and the men came nearer she had ‘put her bands over her ears, but took them away now and deliberately listened, The first tone she recognized was Max's volce, and Gospite herselt a grost relief and senso of safety crept over her.. At least nothing dreadful could happen with Max about, “Til be policeman, spy or anything else when {t comes to her safety and happiness, you dog! She dosn't have to marry me; I don’t want her to un- Jess she wants ‘me more than she seems to, but atleast { havo put you et of commission} You're not even & first-class scoundrel—just a cheap sneak! Do you suppose it took me long to get your record looked up? What about your being fired by Mat- tox & Co? What dld it cost your people to buy them off from prose: euting you?” Something| inside Drusle stopped: Sho loved hpnesty. The men shad come so cloge that she might almost have touched them, and she saw that Max held’ thp other man. by his col- lar, and that|suddenty-he broke away and aimed a blow at his captor. In a moment the two were fighting desperately, crashing into the bushes, Henry Main cursing, She was afraid they would tread upon her, and slipped up and hid behind a tree trunk, Sho wanted to call for help, she wanted to stop them, but she dared not wove, They might hurt each otherhe might—hurt Max. ‘Then she knew where her heart was, Wiyy didn’t Max speak? The thrashing about stopped, and ‘peering about, ahe saw dimly that one man lay on the earth and that ‘the other knelt upon, him. ‘To her infinite rellet it was Max who spoke. “Now, you get out of here, and st you want a|decent home Ife’ go and try to win Yack the wife you abused until she divorced you, and be a father to the boy you're not ft to have! But you let my girl alone! She {¢ mine, and when you're out of the way she'll come to her senses. Now, you hn tell mo where she Is pretty confobnded quick! I know you ‘came here to meot her, ang tt would be Ike foul to let her be frightened somewHero jin the dark walting for you!” “Let me lup and I'l get out of here!” Max let him rise, and in an natant be as running, crashing off through the|brush, Drusto found her volee—the dark was now a terror to her. “Max! Mgx!"- Her cell was clear and loud, ne Max answered her. He came toward her, and she went trem: bling to mept him, “Are you-tall right, Drusie?” Suddenly bho went to him, putting doth her hands on his arm.” “Take me home,” she said, break ing down 4nd crying and sobbing “Take me home!” He put a frm arm about her and lead her from the wood and across the pasture, but he sald nothing about loving her. The un- real, the dream of the man who. bad gone left her mind, and she saw how close she had been—not to a great anger to herself, but to the calamity of losing Max—if indeed she had not already lost, him. “Drusie,” he said at length, “ don't want a witp who doesn’t want me. When you have made up your mind you can send for me and 1 will take your decisioh. But what I do want to Know is whether you have seen enough tonight to make you sure you don't want—that fellow. , Do you?” Sho sbivered. “You Know I—hate him," she “breathed. “You know—I must have been crazy! You know I have never really wanted anybody but you! You know I want you to forgive me!” As they came to the bara old Beauty put out her head again, and Max Inughed and turning to Drusle took ber in his arms, “Home is best, isn’t ft? Even I home folks are ‘common and plain But they love you, girl!” As they came toward the "house the girl father put his gray head trom. the window of his room. “Who's there?” he demanded bellig erently. Max answered: “Only Max,” he said quietly, coaxed Drusle out a couple of hour ago. It took us a long time to make up. Sorry I'm bringing her in so late She's all right.” Druste knew that her father’s grun was a grunt of deop joy.

CHURCH DIRECTORY Quinn Chapel, 34th street and Wabash avenue. Australia has such a headache. Getting in your, coal? Did you have your overcoat on this week? Why? Speaking of spring, gentle spring, etc, what does this remind you off? The Odd Fellows are exponents of high morals now-a-days. What's in a name? Ask the Odd Fellows. Tom Payne of Atlanta showed himself a genial entertainer in the social line. Go on, Tom. The white man has demonstrated that he cannot "live alone" all by his lonesome. If you don't believe me, ask Australia. When the name of Ed Morris is mentioned in Georgia, you will have to lassoo your friend to keep him from running away. Now that Mr. B. J. Davis has two years to reflect, maybe he will be able to come back and land an uppercut on Neighbor Morris' "bread basket." Hon. E. H. Morris dared an Atlanta policeman to put his hands on any one in the hall and he would show him where he got off. The Atlanta department now declares that he certainly is an odd reellow. Race prejudice had cost Australia $100,000 before she got her eyes opened, and now she has thrown her arms open to receive the black man. Some day proud Amerika will have to trail her pride in the dust. If the average Negro at the north would demand his rights and sue, not for money damages but for the principle, he would not be kicked as often as he is being. The young Negro is standing manfully by his guns and is demanding nothing less than citizenship. Sister Dean was yanked into court this week for getting happy, and was fined. The sister said, on leaving the station: "Down home ain't nothing like this. The white folks down there like to see us get the spirit and walk about in Zion." This is "Paul" all over again, but Sister Dean has profited by the arrest. She prays easily and she does not get happy any more. And the peculiar thing about the whole affair is that she refuses to go back south where she can worship as she wishes. Sir Alfred Anders has just left the spot where --- --- for Boston, Mass., the "bean eaters" are becoming alarmed, for in trying to get New York by wireless, also by telephone, they failed to land that city at last location. Instead it was found in Long Island 'Sound in the vest pocket of "Chi Anderson," who spoke to Boston and told them reserve the Common for his special benefit. The committee of citizens that met Mr. Anderson were all well pleased with our genial gent. When the press boys call at the Republican National headquarters in search of news, oftener than not they are referred to Phil H. Brown, the assistant director of publicity of the National committee. Mr. Brown came from Hopkinsville, Ky., and seems intent upon two single purposes: one is the election of Taft, and the other is the exploiting of the wonderful advantages of Hopkinsville, Ky. He calls his home town "the garden spot." He is a finished product as a newspaper man, having had wide experience upon the metropolitan press, smokes home-spun tobacco in a cob pipe, which he never falls to tell you comes from Hopkinsville, Ky., and has a genial greeting for every one he sees. He is one of the most popular of Mr. Mulvane's chiefs down at the Auditorium hotel. From Our Exchanges NEGRO SOLDIERS IN EUROPE. Unless one were in close touch with the military situation in Europe, one would hardly realize just what important part Negro soldiers seem destined to play in the future European war games. The high esteem in which France holts her Negro troops, the evident determination to recruit them in still larger numbers, and the grave possibility of their being used in continental Europe in case of war, is exciting much comment on the 'other side of the big waters'. The larger nations seem thoroughly excited over the new factor in things military.—The Baltimore Times. GO BACK TO THE PULPIT. As a politician and office seeker the average Los Angeles colored preacher makes a mess of it. He is usually weak and vacillating, readily becoming the tool of corrupt white politicians and the companion of the low, vicious, disreputable Negro political thug. The Negro political thug thinks he is doing politics when he is betraying his race. Hence the Negro political preacher who falls into his hands pulls off deals so raw that Judas Icariol would scorn him. For heaven's sake, go back to the pulpit; you are not bad; you are just too green to deal with wily white politicians. They use you and then boast of how cheaply the "Nigger" preacher can be bought—Liberator. QUIT PLAYING THE FOOL It is encouraging to the Dallas Express to find strong men rising up from all parts of the country endorsing its utterances against the blood-suckers and parasites of the race, who take all and nothing give. The Negro school teacher or preacher whose job wholly depends upon his race should be the last among us to utter a discordant note or breathe a dissenting word against the enterprises started by members of their own race. We have in almost all the larger towns now undertaking establishments, soda water fountains, drug stores and restaurants. Let the Negro lay aside his prejudice and his envy and come to the rescue of these places with his mouth and his money. Every time one succeeds, it means more places where your educated boy or girl can get something to do. Every time you spend a dollar there you increase the world's respect for your judgment and common sense. The Negro who goes about now talking against his race enterprises to white people, playing the grinning jackass in order to be called a "smart Nigger," deserves to have a shoe-shop made of his pants behind. He has outlived his usefulness, and the other world awaits his worthless soul. Look at your children, and look in the white man's store, bank, office, now and see if you can make yourself believe that he ever intends to employ your black child there, except to do the common service. Let us have sense. God forbid that we continue to play the fool.—Dallas Express. Our Women THE GAUDEAMUS CHARITY CLUB.

Quintillian recommends all parents properly to educate their children, advising them to train their offspring carefully in learning good manners and virtuous exercises, since we commonly retain those qualities in age which we cultivated and possessed in our youth. Truly Good Man A good man is happy within himself, and independent upon fortune; kind to his friend. temperate to his enemy, religiously just, indefatigably laborious, and he discharges all duties with a constancy and congruity of actions.

Having lived in Winnipeg for the past time months I have met several prominent business men who are well liked in the community*. Railroading is the chief occupation and a few have amassed a neat fortune by investing in real estate. There is very little prejudice. They have mixed schools. On leaving Winnipeg I visited Edmonton, Alberta, and found many prosperous farmers. There are several prominent men in the real estate business, one moving picture show controlled exclusively by Negroes. In Calgary there is an association known as Young Men's Business Association that has a membership of 75. They own real estate and contemplate building a club house. Calgary is a railroad center. Continuing my journey I now come to the beautiful Canadian Rockies en route the Crows Pass, arriving at Kootneey Landing, B. C. There boarding a steamer, having 52 miles ride up Kootneey Lake, reaching Nelson, B. C., to my great surprise met some of my old friends—Mrs. W. L. Coleman of Chicago and Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Russell from Winnipeg, formerly of Detroit. Mich. While in Nelson I was royally entertained by them at their summer cottages, known as Camp "Kusanokook," situated on the left bank of Kootneey Lake, surrounded by beautiful orchards and vineyards, it being the California of B. C. We spent the time in boating, hunting and fishing. The chief industry of Nelson is mining. Few Negroes reside here. Mr. Jackson Ratcliffe owns very valuable property, both city and mining. Mr. John T. Plerce is the leading tailor. There are no Negro churches. It would be a wide field for some young ministers. I left Nelson en route to Los Angeles by the way of Spokane, Portland and San Francisco. You will hear from me at the latter place. In a Hammock With Browning. 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 was late in the afternoon and her aunt here she had been. "In the hammock of the afternoon," she responded, "with my beloved Robert Browning." The aunt aged her steadily. Then she said: "If I hear of any more such scandalous proceedings I shall write to your mother." - Topopea Capital. Feather Duster Passing The feather duster is rapidly disappearing. It must go as surely as the common drinking cup. It is only a little while since the feather duster was universal. Now 60 per cent. of the cities have discarded it from the school buildings.

His Reason. M. B. Peoria. Mr. W. Allison Sweeney, 2250 Vernon Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Honored Sir:—Years ago, while still a resident of my birth spot, St. Augustus of "The Freeman," at that time the race's most influential organ, and of which you were editor. In the 21st man." was duly selected, paid for and kept on file at the meeting place of the "Dobating and Literary Circle" or which I was a struggling member, anxious for renown in the arena of discussion while a fine lithograph of yourself—sent out as a premium by "The Freeman"—adorned the honored place upon the whitewashed walls of our Circle. In those days "The Freeman" was our guide and text book in all matters touching the race, while you, as its editor and director, were given an almost sacred place in our estimation. Upon more than one occasion your opinion and judgment was sought upon matters over which our little Circle was divided, and your response was always prompt, courteous, and enlightening. At the present and for six years I have been a resident of this city, and noticing in a recent issue of the "Chicago Defender" that you had been secured to furnish political reviews for its columns, I am forwarding you upon a separate sheet, three questions or propositions that I respectfully ask of you to answer. In order to establish my identity with you, do you not recall a certain correspondent of "The Freeman" whose fiance was swept overboard from an Atlantic liner while traveling as a maid? I was that correspondent. Thanking you in advance, and awaiting your response with much interest, I am, The questions submitted were: FIRST—Was Mr. Roosevelt's stand relative to the Negro delegates from the SECOND—What is the explanation for the apparent change in the good will to many Negroes? Will he poll the usual colored vote? THIRD—Are there any reasons that could not have been urged for previous colored men to any number, should, or will support Gov.

SECOND—What is the explanation for the apparent change in the good will towards Mr. Taft upon the part of many Negroes? Will he poll the usual colored vote? THIRD—Are there any reasons that could not have been urged for previous Democratic candidates, who colored men to any number, should, or will support Gov. Wilson for the presidency? In reply.—An act of JUSTICE is one that violates no RIGHT, commits no transgression of TRUTH, and as impartial as the rain from heaven that, in its refreshing ministrations visits the crops of the poor as well the rich, the black alike with the white, at the same time, and in the same proportion. JUSTICE is four square. It is Rectitude made visible. A rendering of an HONEST DUE as against a DISHONEST ONE. It is EQUITY, white as snow, and as clean as a hound's tooth. ALWAYS it is great FAUNESS. ALWAYS it is exact FAIRNESS. Judged by these truths, Mr. Roosevelt's dictum relative to Negro delegates from JUST.

Judged by these truths, Mr. Roosevelt's dictum relative to Negro delegates from the South was glaringly UNJUST. THEIR rights smashed THIS year, YOURS will go the SAME WAY some coming year. The lessons of history teach, that it is little by little, step by step, the rights of a people are lost. A right withheld from a Southern Republican because of his color and allowed to go unreubank, will finally spread into a right to be withheld from a Northern Republican because of his color, regardless of Mr. Roosevelt's clownish attempts to throw dust in the eyes of the Northern Negro, through an appeal to his supposed vanity. His declaration was so unexpected, so rudely unjust, sounding more like the senile gibberish of a Tillman than the well-ordered thought and conclusion of a seasoned statesman, seeking the "Seat of Power" of the world's great Republic, that thoughtful men were shocked and palmed as they might have been in the presence of a friend gone suddenly insane. Jane Addams, a pure soul and great, who long since has made her election to the ranks of the Immortals sure, pleaded and reasoned with him for hours—but in vain—that he should not take so unjust a stand; to, at least, change and modify it. But Mr. Roosevelt's fat had gone forth. The most insistent Egolst of the age had spoken, and what did the pleadings of Jane Addams amount to, wise and far-seeing woman though she is, shrinking from INJUSTICE as from a stain, that he should reverse himself at her persecution? Placed in the balance against his ambition, his dream of the presidency for a third term, what mattered it if the already curtailed and ALWAYS challenged civil and political rights of some millions of "Black-Folks" in the South would be FURTHER jeopardized and menaced by his action? Who were they, that they could see through his sophistries, or seeing through them, who were they, these sons and daughters of slaves, that THEIR future security and happiness in the land enriched by generations of unpaid toil, and their shed blood upon a hundred battlefields, from Ixington to Appamattox and San Juan Hill, that so slight a matter as the taking away, and the robbing of THEIR rights, should for one minute cause him to pause in his marked out, and determined course?

Was HE not Theodore Roosevelt! The years, and the charity of silence has wonderfully shielded this man, so much so that "Roosevelt's luck" has become an axiom, and many people, desiring to view him fairly. "Nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice," have suffered long sieges of inward conflict. in an effort to determine whether he was REALLY a great, unselfish patriot, willing to sacrifice himself for his country's welfare, or, after all, a more "bullhead"—or Moose—"for luck," always out to "get his" by hook or crook, the devil take the hindmind.

Here was a man with the cool assurance of Charlatan, banking on his bull-head luck, or trusting to the possible indulgence of the hour, who in a breath, without apology, shame, or remorse, in his eagerness to please Southern white men, did not hesitate to disturb the sanctity of the grave, to impugn the judgment, wisdom and humanity of the conclusions of the men, with Lincoln as the radiating orb, whose lives were spent in the service of their country, and whose names will forever blaze the most glorious pages in the story of the Republican party. THEY had said, and had so written it, in the great Amendments to the Constitution, solemnly ratified by the vote of three-fourths of the states of the Union, that not for a day, a year, or any division of time, but—FOR EVER, and everywhere, throughout this land—ALL of the rights, belonging to a citizen of the United States, the right to vote, and be voted for, to represent and be represented, to sit in council, and be called should not, at any time, be questioned, or withdrawn from any citizen because of the color of THE RAIL.

Charleston, S. G.—Every house in Charleston faces seaward. It frequently happens that the streets do not adjust themselves to this disposition of the house-plan—in which case the street line is calmly disregarded and the house is built so that it shall square with the four points of the compass. The result of this is curious and most interesting—at times disconcerting, but frequently as pleasing as one of Whistler's audacious and unexpected color schemes. As in the mansions of old Virginia, the general form of the Charleston houses is very simple, and they depend for their beauty upon the fine THE HISTORY OF THE HOLY FAMILY Picturesque Charleston Hpuses. balance and spacing of doors and windows, the character of the cornice, and above all upon the dignified beauty of the classic porticoes and galleries which adorn one side of each structure. But Charleston has another and quite unique architectural feature in the arched and ornate walls of moss-grown brick which close in all of the fine residences, and the highly decorative wrought-iron gateways which give access to the private grounds. In a city which was at one time the port of call of all the pirates of the Spanish main—where one day it was found advisable to bury forty of these worthies under the sea-wall of the city; where half-claillized negroes formed always an overwhelming majority of the population, it was the part of common prudence to erect a strong barrier between the streets and the private demesnes of the better-class residents. Out of this necessity grew the infinite number of gates and grillages of twisted iron, which are the chief pride of Charleston today, and whose only rivals are the far-famed gates of Seville. These marvels of wrought and beaten iron were all the work of local smiths. I was told that no two gates of the city were of similar design, and I certainly saw no single example which was not in itself beautiful—Birge Harrison in Art and Progress. PASS LIFE AMONG LEPERS Rev. Charles Kellar Will Devote Talents to Possible Discovery of Cure for Disease. Cambridge, Mass.-After he completes a post-graduate course at Harvard this fall, Rev. Charles Kellar, a Catholic priest, who was graduated in June from the American Medical college of St. Louis, will go to Honolulu and pass the rest of his life among leprosy patients of the Hawaiian islands. He will share their hardships and expose himself to infection from the disease with the end in view of possibly discovering a cure for leprosy, the goal of scientists for centuries. Father Kellar is forty-eight years old. He resigned his pastorate at Kahoka, Mo., because a throat trouble made it impossible for him to preach. His voice was restored by an operation in St. Louis, and then the priest entered the St. Louis University of Medicine. After a year Father Kellar changed to the American Medical university. Father Kellar won the highest class honors when he graduated from the American university last June. He studied nervous diseases six weeks at the Alexian Brothers' hospital and then went to Harvard. He expects to depart for Honolulu November 1. WOULD USE HEAT OF SUN Prof. Climician Tells Chemists of Big Substitute for the Failing Coal Supply. New York.—The possibility of using the energy of the sun as a substitute for the falling coal supply was the subject of an address by Prof. Glacomo Climician of Bologna, Italy, at the concluding session of one of the sections of the International Chemists' congress here. The speaker said that, since the earth's supply of coal is limited, it is not too soon to consider the possibility of getting power from other sources. He outlined a plan of putting the sun's rays to work by a chemical process, after the manner of plants. In conclusion he said: "If we should become able to utilize the energy of the sun in the way I have described, the tropical countries would be conquered by civilization, which would in this manner return to its birthplace. "On the arid lands there will spring up industrial colonies without smoke and without smokestacks; forests of glass tubes will arise everywhere; inside there will take place the photochemical processes that have hitherto been the guarded secret of the plants, but that will have been mastered by human industry, which will know how to make them bear even more abundant fruits than nature, for nature is not in a hurry and mankind is."

"Ef your feet hurt ye so much, Slasas," said Mrs. Weevey, "why on airth don't ye wear them shoes ye bought down to Bosting last summer that ye sald was so comfortable?" "Why, Mirandy," said Silas, "ef I wore them there shoes I'd wear 'em out, and then I wouldn't have nothin' t' fall back on." — Judge Strange Companions A monkey and a Scotch terrier, which were tied together, escaped from their home in London, the other day, and fed, chased by a crowd, through Shoe lane, to Snow Hill. They were captured by two city constables. Cat Mothers Young Rabbit. A cat at Hayburn Wyke hotel, near Scarborough, England, is mothering five wild young rabbits together with one of her kittens. The nest of rabbits was found by some men who were digging. They were taken to the hotel, where the cat at once adopted them, all her kittens having been drowned except one. LOST RELATIVE.

Under the advice of some scientific person she tried smoking. I had the privilege of providing her privately with some very mild cigars, and many and many a summer night we have sat together for half an hour or so in her porch at the knoll, smoking. She tried this remedy for only a few months, but she fancied it had a beneficial effect upon her hearing." Sympathy. Sympathy is the power of putting ourselves in the places of other people. It is just in such sympathy that so many of us fail; and it is sympathy that means wise toleration. We must be able to oppose at times, and oppose vigorously. There are points on which we ought to feel strongly enough to be indignant, if need be—questions that can rouse our anger and make us unbending. Valuable Oil From Rubber Tree.

NOT FOR BARBER'S SHEARS Golden Curls Too Pretty to Be Saved, Declared Chivalrous Knight of the Razor. Occupants of the barber chairs and the men who sat in line waiting for the call "Next" wondered at the presence of a pretty little girl of five who romped about the shop, and to whose golden curls, each man said to himself, poetic metaphors might be applied without being ridiculous. She skipped from chair to chair, visiting each barber and said "good-by" to all when she left. Every razor, every brush or pair of shears in the shop was stopped long enough for the owner to say "Good-by, Pauline; come back again." "Is that your little girl?" the occupant of the third chair asked of the barber. "No; she's just a little friend. Her mother sent her here to get her hair cut." "Why, it don't look as if it had been cut. It falls all over her shoulders. It can't have been cut in a year." "That's just it. That's why we're friends. I wouldn't cut it. I sent her back to her mother with a note. I said if they wanted to spoil anything as pretty as that they'd have to go to another shop, and that was all there was to it. "You see, it was like this. Pauline played out in the yard one day and got her hair all full of sticks and things and all tangled up. It's a lot of trouble to keep a head like that in shape, and when her mother came to comb it out she got disgusted and quit. The first we ever saw of Pauline she came into the crying and carrying a note. Well, do you know, I didn't have the heart to do it. Where wasn't anybody in the shop that would do it. We just combed it out and sent her back with a note saying that if it was cut it wouldn't be at our shop. By the time Pauline got home her mother had got into a good humor and her father had come home. Her father nearly had a fit. He came over here and set 'em up to cigars. He said if his wife ever wrote any note like that again or any tool barber paid any attention to it somebody would sure get trimmed. Whenever Pauline's downtown she drops in for a visit. We're great friends."—Kansas City Journal. Good Whaling in the Pacific Five hundred whales thus far in the season, thirteen of them sperm whales, is the wonderful record made since the beginning of the season, according to Captain Shadford of the steamer Grey, tender for the Canadian Northern Pacific Fisheries company, which maintains a number of whaling stations along the coast of British Columbia. In addition to the 500 males caught at the three stations there are many hundreds which have been caught along the coast by other companies and by American and Norwegian concerns in Alaska waters. It is believed that before the season is over at least 2,000 whales will have been caught on the north Pacific coast. The huge number of mammals caught in such a short period is a direct contrast to the old methods of whaling, when it would have taken years for a big fleet of sailing vessels to have caught a similar number of whales by the old hand harpoon.—Vaucouver Sun. Funeral as Festival. A shining example of communal judgment of almost indescribable stupidity may be found, Louis Vierce, the special correspondent of the international, writes in the August International, in the interesting city of Strassfurt, famous for its mineral wealth. The estimable mayor of Stassfurt recently conceived the ingenious idea of levying a tax on the dead of the community. According to the latest decree issued by his honor a funeral is to be considered an amusement and taxed as such. The widow of a citizen, applying for a funeral permit, received the following document: "Five marks. Permit to arrange a festival. Herewith permission is granted to the Widow Liedke of this city to hold a funeral parade with music on the 5th inst., the procession to march through the Wachtel, Rosmarin, Prinzen, Brucken, Stein, Fursten and Hacklinger streets to the outskirts of the town." "Why, I thought he always said nice things?" "He does, but not always the right things. He was protesting his love yesterday when he passed an old woman. I saw my cue and said: "Will you love me when I get old and look like that woman?" "Of course I will, darling!' he cried. "So I dismissed him. The idea of his consenting to think that I could ever get to look like that horrid old thing!" Some Profit In Theaters. The American theater has of late years often been supposed to be playing to "poor houses," and as such to be not strictly a gilt-edged investment, but the newspapers report that the owner of a string of playhouses, desiring to retire, recently disposed of them for $5,000,000, this sum, in bonds and checks, being carried home in a suit case by the seller and an assistant on the consummation of the bargain. Pedagogical Needs The two needs of the present day in teaching, according to a recent publication of the United States bureau of education, are intelligent idealism and high scientific standards. "To possess these things as a guide to life, to have the intellectual gifts that are necessary for achievement, and to interpret these things to the student by sympathetic interest in his work, is to be a great teacher." Secure Art Collection The United States government has just made an important acquisition in the purchase of the entire collection of Joseph Pennell's Panama canal drawings for the printroom of the library of congress at Washington. THE MUSICIAN MISS SINCLAIR WHITE. VIOLIN VIRTUOSO WHO WILL NOW APPEAR IN VAUDEVILLE. It was announced recently that Miss Sinclaire White, Chicago's young violin virtuoso, was to go abroad for a season, but recent events have caused those plans to be changed. Mr. Frank P. George, her manager, speaking for her this week, said "that recently Mr. Jerry Mills, the well known actor and dancing instructor, had introduced Miss White to Mr. Will Rossiter, the celebrated music publisher, who came so interested in her playing that he prepared a special number for her which will be used as a vaudeville Miss White's first appearance in his new role was in Milwaukee ten days ago. Women's Fineness of Touch. Electrical engineers number young women among their workers, and Edison is said to prefer women machinists for their fineness of touch. Mrs. Ira Tott of Long Beach, Cal., founded and managed an entire electrical plant successfully. Being an expert engineer, she superintended the building of her plant and bought and installed the machinery. Hen Mothers Kittens.

Rent Paid In Roses A bouquet of red roses was handed to the warden of St. Olave's grammar school, Tooley street, London, England, at the prize distribution, the other day, as the rent of a piece of land leased to trustees in 1656 for the benefit of the poor of the parish. The lease was for "a term of 500 years at the yearly rent of a red rose payable at midsummer if lawfully demanded." Women's Valuable Thought Women's Valuable Thoughts.

Fear of Diseases in 'False Hair.

High Class Entertainers LLY, Proprietor. The Sporting World Wet grounds-I should say very muddy grounds-caused the postponement of the second game between Grace and Mt. Olivet for the championship of Cook County Presbyterian Church teams. Captain Baker and Manager Brown would like to take their team to play on a better field, but as Mt. Olivet insists the game will be played at Stanton Park. The Hawaiian team of Chinese ball players were here Sunday and Monday, playing the U. S. Leaguers at Gunther Park in their first game, losing 8-6, and at the White Sox park, losing the second, 5-2. In both games I must say the visitors put up a strong fielding game, although Bradshaw had them under control until the ninth inning of the first game when "Chinks" landed on him for three clean hits and two runs. It was a grand rally. In both games they ran the bags like rabbits. Kanyen, their backstop, proved a wonder in stopping the Leaguers in stealing. The American Giants won again from their rival Chicago Giants Sunday getting a big start in their first inning. They won with ease. Jimmy Thorpe led his warriors to victory Saturday when Carlisle won from Abbright 50-7. The Indians are as usual the first to start their gridiron battles. There are two letters here asking me about Mr. Matthews and Mr. Lewis in their games against Yale. in the Harvard-Yale game at Springfield, Mass., Nov. 19, 1892, Yale won 6-0. W. H. Lewis, '95, played center for Harvard against P. T. Stillman of Yale. At the same grounds Nov. 25, 1893, Lewis again played center, his opponent being Stillman again. Although Harvard lost 6-0 it was in this game that his name was written among the heroes of Harvard. Lewis successfully broke up Yale's flying wedge. After Yale had scored in the second half they worked the ball back to 5-yard line, where Lewis, with the assistance of Mackie, right guard, and Newell, right tackle, held Yale, the ball going to Harvard on downs. Brewer punts from behind the line to Butterworth at the 40-yard line where it is rushed again back to the 15-yard line. Here Lewis again broke up the play and on the fourth down Harvard got the ball when they punted Yale's 45-yard line when time was called. In 1904 at New Haven, Nov. 19, Yale won from Harvard 12-0. In this game Matthews played end, was one of the three Harvard used against Tom Shevlin, '60, who captained Yale the next year. In the east it seems as though luck plays an important part in each big contest our men played on the losing side. It so happened with M. W. Bullock, '64, of Dartmouth when they stuck up against Princeton. Bullock played left end and he was one of the best Dartmouth ever had, yet they lost, 17-0. y Drew Wins at Pittsburgh. As I predicted in last week's column, Howard Drew came through with flying colors Saturday at Forbes Field, Pittsburgh, Pa., during the tournament of the Amateur Athletic Union. In the first trial heat Drew won with W. E. Conway of New York second, their time was :10 2-5. The second heat was won by R. Carroll of the Pittsburgh A. A. with the fast Irish-American Athletic Club's runner, A. T. Meyers, second. Meyers is the man the Gotham followers of the einder path have been counting on in this race to defeat Drew. The final told the tale. At the crack of the gun the colored boy jumped to the lead with Carroll and Meyers. At 40 yards Drew and Carroll went ahead of Meyers. At 80 yards Drew had forged ahead about a yard, while Meyers had forced himself even with Carroll. As Drew broke the tape he was 3 feet ahead of Meyers, who took second place away from Carroll by a foot. Drew's time for the final was 10 seconds flat. Last month Drew was presented with a gold watch fob by the colored citizens of Springfield, Mass.

In passing, it is the wise folk who listen to friendly criticism, without a trace of indignation, just as did the little-fellow who heard himself called all sorts of unwelcome names and went on as if nothing had happened at all. For it is friendly criticism, in the home and among true friends, that makes us "see ourselves as others see News Notes of the Nation's Capital BY R. W. THOMPSON Washington, D. C., Sept. 27.

M. Notwithstanding the inclementy of the weather, spacious Metropolitan A. M. E. church was crowded to the doors with an audience that represented the best thought and most productive activities of the Negroes of the country, and they gave the chief executive a continuous ovation from the time he entered with Major Rhoads, his nide, to the time of his departure. His admirable address was applauded to the echo, each salient point being greeted with the heart, evidence of approval. The choir, under the direction of Prof. John T. Layton, sang "Star Spangled Banner" as the president took his place on the platform, the audience joining in, and at its close, the Chautauquan salute was given with a will. The Emancipation Celebration. The Emancipation Celebration. The emancipation celebration began Sunday afternoon at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church with a monster "song jubilee" and an address on "Fifty Years of Freedom" by Dr. S. M. Newman, president of Howard University. Monday was held the Sociological Congress, addressed by Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education. Tuesday is set apart for the Congress of Colored Educators, with grand street parade in the afternoon, embracing military, fraternal and civic organizations, industrial features and the congress. Wednesday comes the Congress of Colored Women at the 19th Street Baptist church, and on Thursday, will be held the Interdenominational Religious Congress at Shiloh Baptist church. Delegates from many states are here and the celebration is proving to be a monumental success. Great credit is due Prof. Jesse Lawson for the conception and the well-ordered working out of the plans that have culminated in an observance that shall stand as a model of a dignified, constructive and inspiring recognition of a day that means everything to the 12,000,000 Negroes on this continent. Mme. Anita Pattl Brown Coming. Mme. Anita Patti Brown Coming. Mme. Anita Patti Brown of Chicago, admitted to be the race's foremost coloratura soprano, is to be the bright and particular star of an autumn musical festival about Thanksgiving time, projected by that versatile genus, Miss Lulu Vale Childers, director of music at Howard University. She will appear in new repertoire of classical gems and will be heard at her best. The supporting company and chorus will be the most notable that Washington has seen in many a day. An effort is being made to have Mme. Brown appear in a series of popular concerts while in this veltikity, to give all of our citizens a chance to hear her marvelous voice. Following the engagements of Mme. Brown here and at a limited number of eastern points, she goes on a long tour, which will include Bermuda, Jamaica, Halif, South America and Panama. Washington society will turn out en masse to greet this famous prima donna when she comes this way Thanksgivingide.

Mrs. Terrell) is the race's leading exponent of the equal suffrage idea, and has succeeded in converting scores of the most pronounced antagonists of "votes for women." Dr. Shepard's New Propaganda. Dr. Shepard's New Propaganda. Dr. James E. Shepard has been touring Maine and New Hampshire in the interest of the National Religious Training School at Durham, N. C., and has added many influential white men and women to the roster of the school's substantial friends. The system of correlating the moral and the industrial training, together with the academy—placing the largest emphasis on the inner soul of the man—appeals with peculiar force to the reasoning people of today, and Dr. Shepard, in two years of active work on this idea, has developed an institution that ranks with the finest and best in the land. Dr. Shepard was in the city this week and talked at length upon his plans for the new year. His school opens Oct. 9, and he says the enrollment already in sight outstrips that of any previous year, and renders enlargement of facilities absolutely necessary before another twelve-months rolls around. The ministers of the country are still apllauding Dr. Shepard because of the helpful results that are growing out of the great ministerial conference held at his Durham school last July. Another great conference is on foot for next summer. True Reformers at Work. The Washington Division of the United Order of True Reformers is doing its part in the work of rehabilitating the organization, Mrs. Sarah F. Lewis, chief of the local division, headed a large delegation of True Reformers, who left Monday to attend the annual convention of the Grand Fountain in Richmond, Va. Her report shows that during the current year death benefits have been paid to the amount of $22,692.57. A few evenings ago, Mrs. Lewis was rendered a royal reception by the Washington Division, in honor of her appointment, in which the citizens at large joined most heartily. The installation ceremonies were in charge of a committee headed by Miss Minnie Berkley, chairman, and Mrs. M. S. Matthews, secretary. Movements of the "Play Folke" The Howard continues to draw packed houses nightly, and Manager Thomas has been put to his wits' end. to devise ways and means of seating the people who crowd into his parquet, balcony and fashion boxes every time the doors are opened. The bill this week is made up of Evan Robinson and her Dixie Girls, a strong feature act, in which the Washington girl shows to advantage; Miss Lillian Brown a sweet singer; and Lucas and Dodson, a clever team of sketch artists. Miss Lucas is a daughter of the veteran Sam Lucas, almost the last survivor of the revered "Old Guard" of the footlights. That unique genius, the "Original Rags," who makes up original song hits for everybody in the audience, is held over for another week. Last week Gillam and Williams, with their wives, put on a high-grade act, and scored heavily. Allie Gillam is the best "tramp" since Bob Cole and the consensus of opinion is that he ought to be at the head of a road company, featuring his quaint impersonation of the happy-go-lucky man of destiny. Dainty Ray Bailey, the feminine "live wire," who grows better with each season, won a host of new friends. The Indian Whirlwinds in a sharp-shooting specialty and the Original Rags rounded out one of the best offerings that Manager Thomas has put across this year. Miss Ray Bailey will spend a few weeks in the city, playing at several of the picture houses here. Miss Susie Sutton, the pliant soubrette and rapid-fire monologist, is still "going big" at the Foraker and renewing acquaintance with her host of friends. Following her engagement there, she goes out on the Dudley circuit. T. Spencer Finley, Washington's own comedian, has a fine bill this week at Dudley's. John W. Cooper was at this house last week with his "Fun in a Barber Shop" and carried all before him with his ventilouqual feats. Lew Henry is making good as Mr. Dudley's local representative. Misses Edie King and Lotte Gee, "those ginger girls," stopped over en route from Newport News and the south, working on the Dudley circuit. Miss King went to Lima, Ohio, to see her "folks," and Miss Gee is at her old home, Cincinnati, for a brief rest. They play a return engagement early in October at the Fairyland. King and Gee are both bright girls and the vaudeville stage knows no "sister team" that can excel them as original, clean-cut and artistic performers. Report it has that Miss Florine Miles Tyson, the affable erstwhile treasurer at the Howard, is now Mrs. Guy Scott, and has located at Cleveland, Ohio. S. H. Dudley has gone to New York to rehearse his company in a revised version of "Dr. Beans of Boston." Mr. Dudley will play only the large cities this season. The Dahney has closed indefinitely, Douglass Gentry, an enterprising Virginian, has taken hold of the Chelsea, and is making it a "go." This is one of the best houses in town, but a "jinx" seems to have been haunting it until Mr. Gentry's advent upon the scene. "Black Patti" in a new musical comedy by Will Cooke, entitled "Captain Jasper," is due here in February at the Howard, if a satisfactory scale of prices can be agreed upon. H. J. Howell, the magician, is preparing to pull off some new stunts in the "black art" this fall. He learned the business as an assistant to the Great Kellar, and is one of the best in the profession. The News in a Nut Shell. Prof. E. C. Williams, principal of the M Street High School, has declined an offer to become a member of the faculty of Howard University and will remain where he is. Prof. W. J. Decatur, until recently connected with Howard University, has accepted a place at Wilberforce University: The new "pay ward" at Freedman's Hospital is in full blast, and the innovation gives great pleasure to the residents of the city who have not heretofore been able to secure proper treatment, except as "indigent patients," and this was not always possible, when it was known that they were in a position to pay their way. The accommodations, even at this early date, are being taxed almost to their capacity. There is little doubt that Congress will hearen next session to the urgent recommendation of Surgeon-in-Chief W. A. Warfield, and appropriate the $60,000 necessary to erect and equip an adequate building for the care of patients of ample means to pay for their treatment. Freedman's hospital is one of the very best institutions of its kind in the world, and visitors to Washington do not feel that they have seen the best of the "show places" of the capital until they have given it a thorough inspection. The names of Dr. S. L. Corrothers, president of the National Civil and Political League, and Prof. M. Grant Lucas, of the Washington schools, were inadvertently omitted from the list of colored gentlemen who were present at the White House the day President Taft was formally notified of his renomination. Announcement is made of the marriage of Mr. Isaac Hathaway, the widely-known sculptor, and Miss Hattie Ettice Pamplin, a former teacher of South Boston, Va. The wedding was a quiet affair, taking place April 19 at Rockville, Md., a village not far from Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Hathaway are making their home in this city. Mr. Horace Morris is in Louisville, Ky., gaining "experience" in a first-class pharmacy. He returns in a few days to resume his studies, in the medical department of Howard University. Mr. J. H. Downing, formerly of Pittsburgh, Pa., was recently united in marriage at Philadelphia with Miss Susie Hamilton, a Washington beauty. They are on a "honeymoon tour" embracing Niagara Falls, New York City and Atlantic City. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Miss Mary Ola Chaney, of the June class of Normal School No. 2, has accepted a school at St. George's, Delaware. Dr. C. W. Childs and son, Creed W., Jr., have been motoring through the east and report a delightful time. Mrs. C. J. Walker of Indianapolis, Ind., a wealthy manufacturer of hair preparations, is here attending the emancipation exercises directed by the National Emancipation Commemorative Society. She is the recipient of much social attention and has met many of the commercial factors of the capital. Mrs. Walker is a woman of striking personality and those who have met her do not wonder that she has succeeded in all of her undertakings. Those who follow the fortunes of politics declare that there is a pronounced wave toward Taft and that the chances for the reelection of the president are brighter than at any time since the Chicago convention. Henrietta Vinton Davis in Jamaica. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, the premier elocutionist, is managing the Covent Garden, the leading al fresco theater at Kingston, Jamaica, and is putting on a series of brilliant concerts and dramatic entertainments that have completely captivated the people of the island. Miss Davis has established herself as a favorite among the Jamaicans, and before taking up the direction of Covent Garden she had won fame by her dramatic readings and through her painstaking productions, supported by the Montego Bay Dramatic Company, which was drilled by her. Miss Davis was accompanied to Kingston by Mrs. Nonie Bailey Hardie, the well-known contralto, who is also making good. The S. Coderidge-Taylor Choral Society of this city is to show its respect and voice its regret over the untimely taking off of the great Negro composer, after whom it is named, by holding a public memorial meeting in the near future. The arrangements are in the hands of Prof. John T. Layton, director of the Society, Mrs. Amanda V. Gray, Mr. Arthur S. Gray, Mr. A. F. Hilyer, Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, *Mr. E. N. Broadnax and others. Mr. Ferdinand D. Lee, one of Washington's most active men of affairs, for many years a clerk in the Pension Office, was married-Sept. 19 to Mrs. Elizabeth Mason Snelson, also of this city. The knot was tied by Rev. M. W. Clair, of Asbury M. E. church. The event was a total surprise to the many friends of the happy pair, but all are joining in their congratulations. Mr. and Mrs. Lee will be "at home" at their beautiful residence, 923 R street northwest, Oct. 25, 8 to 10 p. m. The ten internes at Freedmen's Hospital are: W. H. Bruce, S. R. Davis, W. E. Grey, B. G. M. Robinson, E. French Tyson, G. H Barboss, H. R Burwell, Arthur Leo Curtis, W. H. Green and F. F. Thompson. They are a fine set of young men and Dr. Warfield is justly proud of them. Announcement is made of the engagement of Mr. Louis G. Gregory of the Treasury Department, and Miss Louise Mathew, of Kent, England. Mr. Gregory is an ardent believer in the faith of Abdul Hamid, leader of the Bahal cult, and so is Miss Mathew. They met abroad some months ago en route to Persia, where they were making a closer study of the history of the Bahal religion, and the acquaintance and sympathetic interest quickly ripened into love. The marriage takes place this month. Mr. and Mrs. Gregory will make their home in Washington, after a brief tour of the east. Arthur C. Newman, for several years instructor in physics at Armstrong Manual Training school, has been made principal of the new Cardezo Vocational school, a richly-merited promotion. D. B. Thompson, F. J.

Corrothers has mapped out a vigorous campaign for the National Civil and Political League, of which he is president, and the organization has expanded to wonderful proportions within the past two months. Representative colored men in thirty-seven states have allied themselves with the League, and through it the race will be able to wield a tremendous influence in the presidential fight that is now waxing warm. Dr. Corrothers is a natural leader of men and has an immense following. Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, who delivered one of the very best of the addresses heard at the Chicago meeting of the National Negro Business League, has been visiting Niagara Falls and New York City. Dr. Coleman is at the head of Hair-Vim Chemical Company, which is doing a "hand-office" business. The plant is to be enlarged, and it is destined to be the foremost establishment of its kind in the country. A local branch of the National Negro Press Association is in the wind. Mr. James C. Waters, Jr., a writer of force and brilliance, has been named by President Thompson as the District member of the executive committee of the Association. A "smoker" will be held next month, at which the organization matter will be discussed. Miss Elizabeth Clark of Chicago, who was scheduled for a transfer from the registry division of the Chicago post office to the treasury department at Washington, has decided not to make the change. She will remain at Chicago with her parents and friends. Miss Vivian Lucile Thompson, 908 S street, is at home again, after a month's stay with Miss Mary Frances Ennis at Delaware City, Del. Mrs. James E. Buckner of the Cameron is in Louisville, Ky., for the month. Lawyer Thomas J. Calloway is in Chicago in the interest of the endowment fund of Fisk University.

She was accompanied home by her sister, Miss Elrida Kenner. had been spending a portion of the summer with her at Charleston, W. Va. Garfield A. Harris, who made a fine record with the later tariff board, has been given a desirable berth in the bureau of engraving and printing by Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh. Mr. Richard Green of the treasury department recently celebrated his fifty-ninth birthday. Mr. Green has been connected with the treasury department for forty-two years and has served under eighteen secretaries—a record enjoyed by few men in the employ of the federal government. He is highly regarded by both races throughout the treasury. Mr. Cedric E. Francis, son of Dr. John R. Francis of this city, is in charge of the boys' department of the Y. M. C. A. at Chicago. "CHOOSE YE THIS DAY "CHOOSE YE THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE." (Continued from page 4.) It remained for this distinguished swashbuckler of American politics, who for years has worn upon his brow, without shame, or proffered apology, the glory belonging to the black warriors of 'Uncle Sam, the Real heroes of San Juan, to disregard this sacred and dearly bought heritage, to make of it a plaything, and a strumpet, subject at any time to the whim and expedience of any man or set of men, burning for self-distinction, regardless of whose rights might be trampled beneath their feet. His elucidation of the motives that inspired his astonishing act, when driven into a corner by the rising tide of surprise and indignation that upon all sides—from the whites as well as the blacks—amnored to be applauded, was so humiliated that he was Stripped of its verbiage, hammered down to a point, he seemed to have been filled with the idea, "traceable perhaps to the strain of Southern blood, that he delights to boast of having in his veins, that, from the beginning, the whole idea of Negro elevation and the concurrent privileges of citizenship, the right to life, liberty and happiness, had been a mistake, a slip of statesmanship, and, inasmuch as he had started out to battle at Armagadden, he would once and for all—being a mighty hunter before the Lord—beard the lion in his den and relegate the Negro—the "nigger killers" of the South looking on, and cheering him—to a corner all by himself, away and outside of party gatherings, where, always, henceforward, the "Lily Whites" from Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama and other "nigger burning" states, could gather with the Armagaddenites in peace, and no black face would be present to disturb and make them afraid. True, there is no Republican party in the South, most of it is dead, lynched, shot full of holes, or legislated out of existence; but, who were to blame, who were and are the culprits; does not Mr. Roosevelt know, has he not always known? True there are some venial Negroes as well as whites, Negroes for whom the face of a $50 bill has all the charm that an "Old Master" has for an art enthusiast, or a $10 gold piece for a white "low brow" in Chicago, what then? Should a whole race be punished for the misdeeds of a few, or the clean whites of a great city be herded together for excorlation, because of the midnight misdemeanors of the "Knights of the billy and the strong Arm"? True, Mr. Roosevelt once dined at the White House with a colored gentleman, but, that was years ago; nevertheless, can it be possible that the days of pennance required at his hands by the outraged "Lily Whites" of the South country was, up to the time of the gathering of the late Bull Moose convention, still unappeared, and his queer, ungrateful action toward his black friends, the further penalty demanded of him? Since that sorrowful day, when in his official capacity as Commander-In-Chief of the Army and Navy, he dismissed a whole regiment of black United States veterans from the service, and rolled the stone of a nation's condemnations against 'them to silence the murmurings of the men who had once been engaged in an attempt to destroy the nation that these same black soldiers had given of their blood to defend and save, it has not been possible for me to extend to Mr. Roosevelt a full measure of esteem and trust. He has seemed to me a leader one could never be sure of. Behind his hearty grasp and riotous smile, the feeling has always been with me, that he carried a bludgeon concealed. For instance, who would have suspected him of being such an acrobat, as to reassure a committee of colored men who visited him a few days prior to the National Bull Moose Convention, of his always, and continued determination to encourage the Negro to persevere in well doing, and to guard with jealousy his rights and privileges as a citizen within the law, only to follow this pleasing assurance, just three days after, with the action that called forth the question submitted, and this "response"? What more is required to be said? There may be those who, passing by the injustice of Mr. Roosevelt's act, may, for reasons beyond my comprehension, speak of it as a wise one, but—and I say it with no desire to berate—the duties and contingencies facing the Negro of the United States today, demanding his most solemn thought and concerted action, are not of the class to be hippantly disposed of, or decided by the opinion of racial freaks, or the "crumb seekers" under the Party table.

A mud wasp was seen to alight within an inch or two of a splder's nest on the side opposite the open ing, says an exchange: Creeping around toward the entrance to the nest, the wasp stopped a little short of It and for a moment remained per- fectly quiet. Then, reaching out one of its antennae, he wriggled It before the opening.

Oscar Solomon Straus, who has been nominated for governor of New York by the Progressives of that state, has the distinction of being the first Jew who ever became a member of the United States cabinet. In 1906 he was appointed secretary of commerce and labor by President Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. Straus was born on December 23, 1850, and spent most of his boyhood in Georgia. At the age of ten he was placed under the care of a private tutor, and later was sent to Collingsworth institute. In 1865 Lazar Straus, the father, suffered business reverses and was compelled to move to New York, taking the son with him. Soon after the family had moved to New York Oscar Straus entered Columbia grammar school, where he remained for two years, going from there to Columbia college, from which institution he was graduated in 1871. WILLIAMS The closing of the Sixty-second congress was also the closing, for the present, at least, of the political careers of many notable men—men who have contributed much to the pages of history of the nation and who have achieved fame by the conspicuous parts they have played in the enactment of legislation, and their contributions to political oratory. Probably the most notable, without disarrangement to the fame of others, is Joseph W. Bailey of Texas. Senator Bailey has been in congress for over twenty years, being first elected to the Fifty-second congress and at the age of twenty-six. He immediately attracted attention; first by the eloquence of his speeches and second by his tenacity of purpose and his keen insight to affairs of public interest and his ability to take care of himself in the fierce debates that characterized the house of representatives twenty years ago.

Merciful. Mrs. Benham-"Do you remember that I gave you no decided answer the first time you proposed?" Benham-"I remember that you suspended sentence."-Judge Gen. Bramwell Booth, new commander of the Salvation Army, was deluged with expressions of good will at his elevation to the post left vacant by the death of his father. The general acknowledged a few of them personally, but the vast majority will have to be answered by a circular letter as their number is so great that individual responses are impossible. Several of his advisers are urging upon the new commander to make a tour of inspection of the more important army posts, as one of the first necessities of his administration. The new commander of the Salvation Army, Gen. Bramwell Booth, is a big man—physically and mentally. He stands over six feet high and is of military carriage. A British cabinet minister once said of him that he would be worth $50,000 a year to any of the great English administrative departments, and that he could J. B. H. Mrs. Potter Palmer has returned from Paris to Berlin, where she took a thorough course of study in the picture galleries and museums. This she did by way of preparation for society functions next winter, when she will visit Chicago. Mrs. Palmer believes that more artistic appreciation should be developed in the social life of Chicago, and with this object in view she put herself under direction of the learner Dr. Bode of Berlin. Dr. Bode, who director of the Royal museums, is recognized as the best living authority on the old masters. His books and catalogues are of the highest value in the art world, and he is frequently consulted by such collectors as J. Plepont Morgan, but this is the first time Dr. Bode has had a society leader for a pupil. He is loud in his praises of the artistic aptness and intelligence shown by his Chicago disciple. PETER B.

A WELL DEVELOPED SUMMER LOVE AFFAIR "My sister Chryssie did more than disapprove of the whole affair," said the elder Miss Simpson. "Disapprove is too mild a word. She simply bolted over and started to pack her trunks. Then she unpacked them because, she said, she could not in justice to the family name leave me at the hotel unchaperoned. "Chryssie is thirty-six. I am thirty-eight and neither of us ever had a chaperon in our lives—so I think it was nothing but sheer curiosity that made her remain at the summer resort with me. She wanted to see what I would do with Hendricks White. Chryssie has got tolerably used this summer to seeing me mixed in in other people's love affairs because they were always confounding in me or begging me to help them out—but it was rather a staggering blow to her when I produced a well developed love affair of my own. "You would have thought it was a case of smallbox from her general attitude. She conquered her shock and repugnance only by her heroic self-sacrifice and will power. There is something magnificent about the way Chrysie endures the presence of masculine beings on this earth. She disliked Hendricks White the instant he walked into the dining room. Hendricks is an old bachelor in the farties and a successful lawyer who barks at a jury and is used to seeing it wilt before his byes, so he has rather got into the habit of expecting everybody else to jump like the juries. "What attracted me to him was the fact that he seemed to know instantly what he wanted, whether it was the choice of an ear of corn or an oar, and because he positively snorted in wrath when Libby Knox started to coo over him. Libby is a young woman of uncertain age who coos over every unattached man she sees. The general run of men like it, even if they say they don't—but she never tried it on Hendricks a second time. After his escape from her he planted himself on the other end of the porch settee that I was occupying and breathed hard as he glared at me. He knew I had seen the episode. Finally I laid down my work and laughed. I couldn't help it. A sort of harassed, tangle grin crept over his face. 'Here,' he hissed at me, 'why is a woman, anyhow? That is, some women?' "A makeshift of nature to fill up vacant space, I told him, promptly. I got that figured out a long time ago!" "After that we were great friends. And one day I went sailing with him in a little catboat that he had rented. Chryssleia said the idea of any man over twenty going sailing was pitiful. But I've decided that the best way to have a good time in this world is to take things the minute they present themselves—and I bribed the waiter at the hotel to put up some sandwiches and other things for me and took along a book and a bottle of ginger ale. "An hour later, when I produced my little hamper and began unpacking things Hendricks said: 'You're the most sensible woman I ever met! I was just hating the idea of having to go back to the hotel for lunch on a day like this with a breeze just right. Any other woman would have thought of frills instead of sandwiches!" "H'm! I murmured, argumentatively. 'Speaking of frills-' "Hendricks paused with his mouth full of sandwich to glare 'at me. They're all right,' he admitted. I don't see why all women can wear white lawn dresses with drawn-work like that. But you always do look just right!" "My dress was white linen trimmed in Irish lave, and I forgave him. It was touching to see how he enjoyed being fed, and he positively purred at the ginger ale and the book. "That's a book I've wanted to read all summer," he barked. "You read out loud and I'll keep the boat headed. Say, positively, I could grow quite fond of you, Miss Simpson, and I'm not partial to women, either." "We had a lovely afternoon and when we started to sail back to the hotel we were surprised to find that the wind had died out completely. So we had to pole in. This process consists of standing in the stern of the boat and twisting one oar around in the water as though you were getting ready to wring it out and it is warrant to lay a strong man low in half a mile. Hendricks did two miles of it and I sat there and kept still while he growled and mopped his face and gasped for breath. "It was when we landed that he seemed finally to remember me. He laid one hand on my shoulder—everybody at the hotel was inside at dinner—and he did not glare. 'Melanie,' he said, sharply, 'I want you to marry me! If you so much as opened your mouth to make a suggestion during those two horrible miles I'd have dropped you overboard, but as it is I love you desperately!" "That was why Chrysie staled on — to see if I really was going to accept Hendricks' proposal. She is upstairs now with a bottle of smelling salts that I have just told her that I am."—Chicago Dally News. How He Felt About It There was one man, in Indianapolis this week, who could appreciate the position of the man in the musical comedy, "A Modern Eve," who is the hen-pecked husband of a suffragette. Whether the understanding one is a resident of the city or whether he is one of the state fair visitors remains a mystery, but he is not in sympathy with the suffrage leader depicted in the play. He was a diminutive personage with long, flowing whiskers and a very meek countenance. The husband, who was dominated by his wife, had summoned sufficient courage to speak of the matter. His narrative of his troubles ended with the lines, "Now, I am tired of this, I am going to assert myself." The audience applauded and the small man was especially elated. "Bully," he cried. The exclamation brought forth more applause than the lines.—Indianapolis News.

Milwaukee Wis. --- I --- MISS EDITH L. LEE AND MR. CHAS. RANDOLPH BURNS MARRIED BORN'S MARRIED. Not for some years have we had in our midst as pretty a wedding as the one of Miss Edith L. Lee on Wednesday evening, September 25, to Mr. Charles R. Burns. The bride's gown was white satin duchess, with lace trimming and pearl ornaments, with panel train. She carried a shower bouquet of illies of the valley and bridal roses. She wore a veil with orange blossom wreath. Miss Stella Bryant, the bride's maid, wore mink marquette over pink satin. She carried a bouquet of La France roses. Mr. Earl Burns, the groom's brother, was best man. Rev. M. Jackson performed the ceremony. The bride entered the parlor from the hall and was met at the altar by the groom. The house was magnificently decorated. Streamers of smilax formed a canopy from each corner of the room to the chandelier. The mantel was covered with Southern smilax and autumn foliage. The decorations were most artistic in arrangement, and to really appreciate its beauty it was necessary to se it. This decoration characterized the entire house. The color scheme was pink and white. The dining table was a piece of artistic work, with a large centerpiece of La France roses. Pink carnations and roses sat in every available spot. The presents were all beautiful and useful. The bride and groom left that night for Detroit, Mich. Ponder served. ENTERTAIN PROMINENT ODD FELLOWS Grand Master Morris and Other Leaders of the B. M. C. the Guests of the Noname Club. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 27.—Wednesday evening the Noname Club entertained in royal style at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Tate, complimentary to the visiting delegates to the B. M. C. Mr. Tom Payne, the leading spirit of the club, had prepared one of the most elaborate dinners ever served in this city. It was the banner event of the club. Among the distinguished guests present were: Hon. E. H. Morris, Chicago, Ill.; Hon. Harry S. Cummings, Baltimore, MD.; Hon. H. L. Johnson, Washington, D. C.; Hon. M. B. Morton, Athens, Ga.; Hon. B. J Davis, Atlanta, Ga.; Lou. B. Anderson, Chicago; W. T. Francis, St. Paul; I. H. Nutter, Atlantic city; W. L. Houston, Washington; J. F. Needham, Philadelphia,oid W. J. Bailor, Philadelphia. John N. Croaker, Father of Fred and Dr. Croaker, Dies. Richmond, ind., Sept. 27.—John N. Croaker, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizen of Richmond, Ind., and the father of Fred and Dr. Croaker of Chicago, died on Wednesday, September 18, at his home. He was seventy-six years of age, and the last of the seven men who founded the A. M. E. Paul Quinn Charge, church of Richmond, Ind., of which he was a trustee for many years. Among the distinguished citizens who attended the funeral was the mayor of the city. It was one of the largest funerals that was ever held in that city; the whites and the blacks alike turned out to pay their respects to this grand old character. Fred, who is the youngest of three sons, was the only one who attended the funeral. The interment was at Earlham cemetery. Mr. Croaker leaves his wife and three sons, Dr. Norman, Fred and Rubin, to mourn his death. Philosopher on Marriage According to Herbert Spencer, love between man and woman arises from each serving as the representative of the other's ideal. This ideality must be preserved if love is to remain, and to insure its preservation there should be not less, but greater, regard for appearances between husband and wife than between any other people. Equality of rights should also be recognized. A man cannot regard as his type of the ideal one whom he tries to command, and whom he has lowered by denying an equality of privilege with himself. 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. Very Mysterious An old colored woman had occasion to call the doctor for her husband, who was very ill. The doctor made a diagnosis and pronounced it a severe case of gastritis. "Oh, Lor, doctor," esculated the old woman, "how did he eber get dat gastritis? I hain't burnt a ting but coal lie in disyero house, an' powerful little ob dat."—Harper's Bazar for September. "Go West, Young Man." The name of the person who first put the words "Go west, young man," together in that order has not found place in any record. It matters little, anyhow. The phrase belongs to Horace Greeley, it was his enunciation of it that gave it currency, and any past history of the advice may most properly be neglected. Seaum From Wild Reef Froh wild ducks.

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. Woman's Concoctions "When a woman prepares refreshments for a party," said a cynical person, "she takes the inside out of something and puts in it the inside of something else. Then she pours a yellow mixture over the result and its success depends upon the difficulty the guests have in telling what it was before she began fooling with it." Preserve Self-Respect Being honest is the greater part of achievement. When you know that you're doing the best within you, you can't be downed. Self-respect is an eternal life preserver—no matter how often circumstances wreck you, you're bound to float back to solid ground again—Exchange. Professional. An editor's little boy had picked up much of his father's professional vocabulary. After his father had explained the meaning of the word "hereditary" he considered the matter thoughtfully for a momenti "I see," he said, "it's a kind of 'continued in our next.'" Hard Lot of Hindu Women According to reliable statistics, barely one of one per cent. of the 144,000,000 of women in India are able to read and write; and to none of the hundreds of thousands of Hindu gods may these sorrowful little dark women look for any ray of hope, either in this world or in the world to come. Generally Admitted Fact Little Idn, two years old, was watching her papa kill a chicken. After he had cut off the head and it was floundering around she watched it a few minutes, then said, "It makes a chicken kind a nervous to kill 'em, don't it papa?" Worth of Education Quintillian recommends all parents properly to educate their children, advising them to train their offspring carefully in learning good manners and virtuous exercises, since we commonly retain those qualities in age which we cultivated and possessed in our youth --- "Goodness, child, what a question! And how thoughtless of you to spring such a ponderous one on me this hot day." "I'll help you pearse those peaches, even if the fuzz does make my blood run cold, if you will only tell me how to help Jimmie. His mother has written that she hopes I will have the proper consideration for my husband's progression and will help him with his career." If you were a young wife, Cousin Bess, wouldn't that stagger you? "No, dear, you are not; but you can serve Jimmie quite well at home, being his own loving little wife." "Oh," breathed, Janette. "Silence is a wonderful help to a tired man. All the little attention to his physical comfort can be administered without any great flow of words, and a cup of beef tea placed silently beside him on his desk when he works at home will be more appreciated than if you spent twenty minutes in trying to persuade him to drink it. "Save him from wasting time in interviewing troublesome callers. Offer to write his letters for him, especially those of a social nature, and business ones, too, if he will let you. "Never trouble him with domestic worries. Let him think that the household runs as if on oiled wheels that scarcely ever creak. That means self-denial, but practice it. "Learn to wear a smiling face, even if disaster threatens. "You will often feel like crying with impatience when vexatious problems must be faced and cruel disappointments forgotten, but if you make up your mind to exert your self-control you will be able to smile and smile and smile. "Don't let Jimmie he distressed and depressed by the sight of your tears. "Remember there are two kinds of women—the one who takes the heart out of a man and the one who puts it back. The successful wife must be the one who restores the heart and energy to her husband when the fight against obstacles has been fierce and exhausting. The wooden floor of a jewelry workshop becomes valuable after a few years because of the gold dust that is trumped into the porces of the wood and into the cracks, manufacturing jeweler who moved not long ago got permission from the landlord to tear up the old floor and replace it with a new one after he moved. The boards and dirt were burned to ashes and yielded a profit of $125 in gold after all expenses of the new floor and the smelting were paid. The Remaining Good. If you lose heart about your work, remember that none of it is lost, that the good of every good deed remains and breeds and works on forever, and that all that falls and is lost is the outside shell of the thing, which, perhaps, might have been better done; but better or worse has nothing to do with the real spiritual good which you have done to men's hearts.—C. Kinggs. JEANETTE'S WURRY OVER HER HUSBAND'S CAREER Jeanette walked slowly up the path with an open letter in her hand and a puzzled trown on her pretty brow. Catching sight of me as I sat shaded by the honeysuckle that grew over the end of the porch, she smiling said: "Oh, Cousin Bess, I so glad you are home. What can I do to help Jimmie with his career?" "Indeed would it. Wait a moment till I get you a paring knife and an apron, and we will see what we can do about it. I must get this basket of peaches ready to preserve before lunch time. Company coming to tea." Settled at work, I told Jeanette that the best way she could help Jimmie with his career was by serving him! "Good gracious, you don't expect me to fetch and carry for him, do you? I'm not his office boy." "For example, although it may seem a trifling matter to you, you can help his career by studying his digestion. When you have discovered what he likes and what diet suits him best, learn to cook his meals, so that you can instruct any new cook you may have how to prepare and serve them to please him best. "To look after Jimmie's physical health means a great deal of care and attention, but to worry him about putting on rubbers and taking an umbrella if it threatens rain and to be continually fussing over him is a great mistake. "Have the raincoat, umbrella and rubbers ready in the hall rack when you think he needs them. He will naturally make use of them without your having to say a word. "Have the suit of clothes necessary for a change laid out for him and a sandwich, with a cup of hot broth, waiting for him if he is forced to work late at the office. "Jimmie loves to play bridge and you loathe cards. Learn how to play and help him to enjoy that harmless recreation when he is worn with work. "Do not allow a disparity of tastes and sympathies. Interest yourself in Jimmie's hobbies as well as in his actual profession." "But, Cousin Bess, his career. How can I help with his career?" "Just by these little things. Don't you see, dear, that by just smoothing out the rough places for him will give Jimmie more time and uninterrupted thought to give to the building of his own career?" "There, the peaches are all pared. Don't they look delicious? I will give you a jar when they are done. Thank you for helping me, dear." "Thank you for helping me, dear Cousin Bess." Crisfield's Importance important. The collector of the port of Crisfield, Md., asserts that that place is the first port in the United States in the number of vessels registered. These vessels, however, include a large number of craft designated as "bugees, punges, cunners and bateaus," so that the port's tonnage is not large. Crisfield is also described as the greatest hard and soft shell crab market in the world, and as the center of the Chesapeake bay oyster industry.

The Best Pie in the World Is Blueberry Pie The best judges of pie in every home say so on "blueberry-pie-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, what they would have called upon to plait the diamond medal on the one mother who 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 to "uck" 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" --- --- (Owners) PETER H. W.L. MABRISON, Prop.
