Chauncey Dewey Talks The Hon. Chauncey Dewey, Pro- gressive national committeeman from the state of Illinois, director of Roosevelt campaign in the western states, an intimate friend and personal advisor of Theodore Roosevelt, has onlly threatened that the Bull Moose party will join hands, with the Democrats and accomplish the disfranchisement of the northern Negro. He gloated over the unholy alliance between the Progressives and the Democrats, and admitted that his party was trying to destroy the grand old party of Lincoln and Grant. He used the threat of disfranchisement to clout the intelligent colored voters of the north into the corral of the Bull Moosers. Prominent Negroes Present. Last week several colored men of local and national prominence gathered at the Progressive headquarters at the La Salle hotel, and were discussing the political issues in an informal way. Those present were S. T. Turner, editor of the Illinois Idea; E. E. Wilson, a prominent lawyer and former partner of Edward S. Morris; major John R. Lynch, U. S. A. (recalled, formerly paymaster in the army) Beauregard F. Moseley, an active Roosevelt man and a candidate for elector on the progressive ticket, and some few others. Finally Chancey Dewey, who is director of the headquarters, came in and took part in the discussion. Remarking that the colored people were generally fighting shy of the new party, Mr. Dewey declared with vehemence and striking his fist violently upon the desk: "The Negroes are making the mistake of their lives. The time has come when the Republican party cannot protect them, and the Democratic party is their enemy. They had better make their peace with the new Progressive party. If they don't, we will join hands with the Democratic party and disfranchise the Negroes in the north." A silence as dense as a pall fell upon the astonished colored men. It took minutes for them to translate to their minds what their ears had heard. Mr. S. B. Turner, in speaking o. the incident, said that it was almost dramatic. At last, Mayor Lynch, who is a Progressive, said: "This may be your position, but I know that it is not the stand assumed by Col. Roosevelt." "Yes, it is," rejoined the Bull Moose leader, "I have had a personal talk with him and he declared that if he is elected president he will not appoint a single colored man from the south." "I know the Colonel, too," said Major Lynch, "and I know that he does not mean that." "Well, he said it," retorted Mr. Dewey. From mouth to mouth this remarkable threat made by the Bull Moose chief against the colored voters of the north, was circulated in Chicago until now it is the talk of the town. People who had known Mr. Dewey for years doubted the truth of the report. Several of them went to see him in reference to it, and he repeated what he had, said at the La Salle to them.

OHIQ YOUTH TO STUDY AVIATION Famous Balloonist to Study Under Orville Wright—Has Had Many Frightful Experiences. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] West Union, O., Oct. 11.—Will J. Rogers of Seaman, known through this section as the "Black King of the Air," is planning to try his hand at the aeroplane game. Rogers has long had an ambition and desire to get in the game and now he is to get his chance through Orville Wright, the Dayton inventor and aviator, who, hearing of the great courage displayed by the Seaman colored man in making balloon ascensions, decided to give him a trial. Accordingly Mr. Rogers is arranging to go to the Gem City in October, where he will become a pupil of the great inventor. Rogers will remain at the Wright training grounds at Dayton until the first of the year, then he will go to the training grounds in North Carolina. By next spring he hopes to be able to pilot a craft through the air and win fame as an aviator. He made his first flight when but a mere youth at the Brown county fair and since then has made thousands of flights in all parts of the country. He had some frightful experiences, too, but he never lost his nerve or bulldog courage. WOMAN INVENTOR An Energetic Chicagoan With Letters Patent Retailis Useful Article— Plenty of Success for Her Sex If They Only Stick to it. Downtown in one of our popular skyscrapers is the office and sales- room of Mrs. M. B. Williams. The average reader finds no significance in a mere name, but in this instance it stands for one of Chicago's most progressive business women. Mrs. Williams is the inventor, patente and sole agent for the "Margaret Williams Chiropodist Chair." This important part of the furnish- ings of a foot specialist's office is considered the best on the market. It has many improvements over other makes, it is said. Mrs. Williams speaks encouragingly of her business. She added that her chair was in great demand by the white chiropodists, but that those in the profession of her own race had not patronized her. She has been in her present quarters two years and advises the members of her sex to go into business and stick to it. CLEBRATED LINGUISTS ARRIVE IN CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1912. Appointment a Surprise—Unanimous Choice of the Six Justices of the District Supreme Court. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 11.—The appointment of Dr. Charles H. Marshall as the new colored member of the Board of Education, while a total surprise to most people, gives eminent satisfaction to the rank and file of the citizens of the District of Columbia. He was the unanimous choice of the six justices of the District Supreme court, to which body the duty of electing the board is delegated, and his associates freely express themselves as delighted to have the benefit of his wise counsel in the solution of the thousand and one delicate problems that confront them from time to time. Mr. Marshall is splendidly equipped for the work he has accepted at the hands of his fellow-citizens. He has long been identified with the highest educational interests of the community and knows to a nicety the needs of the people at large and of his own race in particular. Of broad sympathies and ripe experience, he is acceptable allike to the masses and the classes, and is strong enough in mental poise and independence to be his own man on every proposition that is likely to confront him. He belongs to no clique and is the creature of no faction. He will be controlled by no influence save that of the honest and maturely-formed convictions of Charles H. Marshall. This is the opinion expressed of him by all who know him, and this policy will make his administration of the people's trust a brilliant success. Dr. Marshall is a graduate of the medical department of Howard University and has practiced in the district for twenty years. He is president of the Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Alumni Association of Howard University; a member of the Board of Censors of the Medico-Chirurgical Society of the District of Columbia; member of the executive board of the National Medical Association; member of the consulting staff of Freedmen's Hospital and assistant in clinical gynecology in Howard Medical School; deacon of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church and chief of the staff of the free dispensary maintained by that church; member of the International Tuberculosis Congress held in this city in 1908; and was an alternate delegate, elected by the citizens of the district, to represent them at the Republican national convention at Chicago last June. By thrift and industry and business acumen, Dr. Marshall has acquired considerable property in the district and may be reckoned as one of our "solid men." He is the first resident of "Georgetown" to be named on the Board of Education, and this growing section is proud of the honor that has come to it. Dr. Marshall is modest and unassuming, and will indulge in no "grand stand play" as a member of the board. He knows how to work, and his usefulness to his constituents will be told in deeds and concrete results, rather than in glittering promises or showy pretensions. RAISE $5,300 FOR Y. M. C. A. Prominent Evanston Citizens In a Campaign for More Funds to Erect a Building—Lot Already Purchased. Mr. J. E. Moorland, the international secretary of Washington, D. C., has just closed a very successful campaign for subscriptions from subscribers in Evanston for a Y. M. C. A. building fund. The colored people were asked to contribute $4,000 to a fund which will be supplemented by the Young Men's Christian Association of Evanston. The team workers succeeded in securing pledges to the amount of $5,300 at the close of the campaign and state that more is to follow. The men have already purchased a lot 100x150 feet on Emerson street near Maple avenue. Among the active workers in this campaign are such men as Dr. W. F. Garnett, chairman, A. P. Perry, D. W.

Lecturers on "The Black Phalanx"—Carries the City by Storm. By a Staff Correspondent. Denver, 'Colo., Oct. 10.—The Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey of Chicago has taken this city by storm. Last night when at Shorter chapel he spoke on the "Black Phalanx," Dr. Carey traced the record of the Negro soldiers from the Boston massacre, Bunker Hill, to San Juan, and from San Juan to El Reno. He told of their feats in the battle of Bunker Hill, of a colored lieutenant's expedition annihilating the reinforcements of the British at Cambridge on their way to Lexington. Of a Negro's part in the battle of Trenton, of one pulling the stroke oar in the boat that Gen. Washington crossed the Delaware in. He went through with his heroic actions in the war of 1812 and then through the civil war. Then he wound up with the famous battle of San Juan Hill, where they saved the life of Col. Roosevelt, who afterward dismissed them without honor. As Carey was nearing the end every man was on his feet cheering.

(Special to The Chicago Defender.) Richmond, Va., Oct. 11.—The Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers, which has closed one of the most successful sessions in its history, made no mistake in the selection of its new officers who are to conduct the affairs of the order for the next twelve months. Mr. Floyd Ross, who was elected Grand W. M., has been working for the order for about 18 years and knows just what to do in order to have it to succeed. Mr. A. Humble, the Vice G. W. M., is one of the wealthiest colored men in the state of Virginia, being rated at about $200,000 and has always stood by the order. In fact all the officers and board of directors are men and women who are bent on saving the order. Last week your Philadelphia correspondent said 1,400 new members were added to the order last year; 14,000 new members were added and 5,000 old members who had become unbenefited returned and paid up their dues. The deputies and chiefs, most of them have been returned to their old fields to take up the work where they left off. Every effort will be put forth this year to double the last year's record. With M. T. Bailey chief and state deputy of Illinois, who has put more than 5,000 members in the order, Mrs. M. J. Gibson, state deputy of Indiana, Mr. J. J. Lively, M. Tax, H. D. Dixon, Cono, Mrs. Jannon, M., Danville, Ill., with their aids, the order will redouble itself in the west this time. Mr. Floyd Ross and other grand officers are planning a tour through the west. THE WORLD GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PRICE 5 CENTS THE VICE CRUSADE IN CHICAGO; NEGROES' PART Sudden But Vigorous Fight Against "Red Light District" Drives Social Outcasts Pell Mell All Over the City—Michigan Avenue Householders Up in Arms—The Many Large Apartments That Are Filling That Once Exclusive Boulevard Gives "Red Lighters" a Chance for Better Surroundings—"Comes High, But We Must Have a Home," They Say. NEGROES FEAR INVASION OF RES- IDENCE DISTRICT The Quiet Home Section So Long Desired Menaced—Many Undesirables Already in Better, Residence Districts—School Children, Youths and Young Misses Must Not Be Contaminated—Reformers and Officers Should Not Run Wild, But Should Regulate Conditions After Careful Consideration and Investigation, With the Idea Uppermost of Doing the Greatest Good to the Greatest Number. The present vice crusade in this city is of considerable moment to its Negro citizens. After a week or more of spectacular acting on the part of the state's attorney's office, the many arrests by the police and special detectives, the acting of the various reform associations and the daily newspaper publicity of the matter has only resulted in scattering the denizens of the red light district and menacing the residence districts of the race. Many property owners in the sections of the city adjacent to the portion known as the "Red Light" have told of efforts to keep out the "gilded dolls." Where will they go? No one can keep track of the thousands that make up Chicago's underworld. Their only resource will be to scatter throughout the city. It will be easy to locate the occasional "lucky one" that may happen to locate in some of the apartments or houses on the fashionable avenues or streets, but the bulk of them will be found here and there in respectable neighborhoods on the south side. The Underworld Must Live. This sudden outburst, when things were quieter among the "sports" than ever before, has greatly perplexed the best students of local conditions. Why this forcing to the four quarters of the city of these demi-mondis? The abundance of flats and houses along the better thoroughfares now occupied by the better class of Negroes is alluring to these wanderers and the question is—how will it end? No matter how low you are in the social scale, a human being will live. If they are criminals the police will find a resting place for them. But the inmates of the various "Red Light palaces" will eventually find a home somewhere in Chicago. Keep them from roaming, should be the advice of both police officers and reformers. Chicago is large; its inhabitants come from every quarter of the globe. Regulate along the best lines every condition that offends. Make Chicago the first city of the world in every way. Laws there are in abundance; if more are needed place them upon the statute books and have them all enforced for the benefit of all races, creeds and kinds. The Negro Has No Part. The leaders of the race have not been active in the present reform wave. The ministers have not volced any opinion from their pulpits, but the Chicago Defender learns that the subject will be generally discussed in the various churches tomorrow. The housing question has been discussed in these columns before. Residents of the better residence districts have routed many "undesirables" and have complained about others. Now there must be a determined and combined effort on the part of the race in this present moment against the "Redlighters" or you will awaken some morning to find that your next-door neighbor is the famous "Miss X," who formerly had a pretentious establishment around or about 21st and Armour or Dearborn street, or perhaps she will occupy an apartment in the same building, having moved there over night, for, as you know, she will say, "We prefer a quiet neighborhood like this." It has been the case before. Let the Leaders Wake Up. The main import of this article is to arouse the real estate dealers, the ministers, the women's clubs, and all others who go to the front for the race. It is important that some member of the race should get in touch with these officials and reformers who are making such a racket at this time.

Deneen, He saya the governor has ‘been “an excellent chief executive.” jand every farmer who wants clean government will vote for him. Mr. ‘Funk's declaration was contained in the following letter: Shirley, IL, Sept. 27, 1912—Hon, A. P. Grout, Winchester, M—My Dear Fricnd: ', We are very much interested in the success of your reelection as trus- tee of-the University of Mlinols. ‘The farmers of tho state are con- vineed of the fact that you have suc- ceeded in greatly developing the ef- ficlency of the untversity along agri: oultural Iines, and all who know what you have dons to promote the farming industry of the state will vote for your re-election. . The Tiinols farmer bas nad too much prosperity under the state and national Republican administrations to ran any risk of a change in party maz- agement, Governor Dencen has made an ex- cellent chiet executive of the state, and every farmer who wants a con- ‘tinuance of clean, honest administra- tion will yote for him next November. ‘You ean count on my best efforts and vote for the olection of Governor Deneen and the success of all the can- didates on the state and national Re- publican ticket. ‘Yours very truly, LAFAYETTE FUNK.

DEMOCRATIC CHICAGO GERMAN PAPER COMMENDS REPUB- LICANS FOR cAM- PAIGN. Chicago, Oct. 9.—The Chicago Sonn- tag Post, ‘the Abend Post during the week, has given its most emphatic ap- Proval to Governor Deneen and the Republican candidates for state offices. As the Sonntag Post is a Democratic paper, its approval of the Republican ticket and its opposition to Mr. Dunne fg more clearly defined and emphatic than otherwise. The Sonntag Post contained the following comment: “The impressive campaign which Governor Deneen and the Republican candidates for state offices have ac- complished in the southern and west- ern parts of illinois during the past week goes to show that the people de- mand four more years under the ad- ministration of Governor Deneen. It has been shown that the attacks of the Progressive party and State Senator Funk have turned the public against the Progressive party and have bene- fited Governor Deneen greatly. One of the important results of the week is from reports through the state that Edward F. Dunne has damaged his own candidacy very badly by reason of his attacks, which are based purely on fmagination. Of utmost impoi- tance fs the fact that the Republican nominees bend every effort upon the election of a Republican governor and the state ticket. ‘The reports in Cook county are very flattering. The Re publican organization stands united, whereas the Democratic prospects In consequence of factional party fights have been diminished to a very great extent.” * Mlinois needs more of the sare brand of “insincerity” with which hls opponents accuse Governor Dencen. The govern- or’s “insincerity” has meant progress—primary law, merit ‘Taw, business. methods, better Institutions and two adminis: trations without scandal.

I did have a very delightful time in Hannibal but not near so good a time as I had in Quincy. I have read with grant care your analysis of Mr. Roosevelt, and by way of comment I wish to repeat a passage from a Georgia Negro's prayer at the general conference: "Lord, hitch his hands to the plow of salvation, shod his feet with the preparation of the gospel, appoint his head with the kerosene oil of salvation, and set him on fire." You have done this and more. Have you had the committee from this congressional district to urge the national committee to have you come here, and I am sure that they will send you.

The Chicago Union Charity club held its first national apron bazaar Sept. 27-28 in Jackson's hall. A large number of fancy and plain aprons were sent to the members of the club from various parts of the United States. The club was especially favored with one from our national president, Mrs. Booker T. Washington, one from Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the Democratic nominee for President, and still another from our own Governor's wife, Mrs. Deneen. These aprons were auctioned and sold to the highest bidder, guabling the club to realize quite a handsome sum of money on aprons. A good home-cooked dinner was served each day. The president, Mrs. Chandler, feels very grateful to the chairman of the bazaar committee, Miss Carter, for her successful efforts; also to the members of the club for bringing in such a beautiful display of aprons, fancy articles and dinner donations, thereby making the expenses very small. The club also extends its heartfelt gratitude to its friends for their patronage. So far the receipts of the bazaar amount to $105.58. Only a partial report was made on tickets. From Our Exchanges OH YOU MOTHER-IN-LAW Washington, Sept. 26.—Mrs. Annie Wilson, wife of Upton Wilson, a laborer, applied to the juvenile court today for an order requiring her husband to support their two children, and in her plea declared she had just made the astounding discovery that for four years she had been married to a mulatto. The discovery was not made until the husband's mother came to visit them for the first time and revealed the husband's race. Wilson had explained his color to his wife before their marriage, she declared, by saying he was of Indian descent. The marriage occurred in Boston four years ago.—Philadelphia Tribune. THE WHITE'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BLACK. The Negro problem, long looked upon as a southern question, can be regarded as such no longer. It concerns the north as well, since "census figures indicate that the south is becoming whiter, largely due to the fact that there is a steady migration of the Negro to the north." Another fact that complicates the problem is that figures show the Negro to be going to the city in both the south and north. The percentage of Negroes for the entire country is 10.7 and for cities of 25,000 and over it is 16.5. Negroes constitute one-fourth or more of the total population in each of seven-seven of these cities, and for towns of at least one thousand is more than half. In each of twelve cities there are more than 40,000 Negroes, while in Washington, D. C., the Negro population is 94,448. These figures, presented by Rev. Charles Stelkle in various organs of the religious press, show that the Negro is increasing in numbers, though not as fast relatively as the whites. And the question that the white is anxiously asking is "whether he will be a 'good' Negro or a "bad" Negro." The answer, Mr. Stelzle declares, depends as much upon the white as upon the black, and he brings forward some important facts for the white man to ponder. "The Negro will never return to Africa to establish a Liberian Republic. He is the only man in America who has been brought here against his will. For 250 years there was systematically expunged from the Negro race the best qualities which fit a man for citizenship in a democracy. Considering the lack of opportunity, the Negro has been subject to inherent limitations which are both natural and acquired, the Negro has done pretty well since the day that he was set free. "The fact that the Negro is dying in such large numbers of tuberculosis and other still more frightful diseases is, of course, due to his ignorance and to other reasons for which we can not forget that it is also to be charged to the fact that he is compelled to live in the worst sections of our towns and cities, often without drainage or soakage or garbage service, without water within a reasonable distance, and scarcely any of the sanitary conditions in house or yard or street which whites consider an absolute necessity. We drive the worst forms of immorality into the Negro quarters and then curse the Negro because of his moral weakness. We subject him to the severest test of our life—physical, moral and political—and the peculiar doctrine that the "nigger" is no good, anyway. Let's give him a square den—a man's chance. Neither race hatred nor mawkish sentimentality will settle this very delicate question. The south can not settle it alone, and the north can not do the work for the south. The north and the south, the city and the country, must tackle the thing together, for this is a national problem." Complete vital statistics for the country are impossible to secure, yet there are certain registration areas in which figures are kept. These for the most part are for the cities, the country almost wholly overlooking the matter—The Literary Digest. THE EDITOR'S MAIL. The editor has just received a letter from Mr. Low W. Henry of Washington, D. C. He shows much enthusiasm in trying to line up the colored actors of that city as he plainly sees that the white man is trying to freeze them out entirely. He states that they have a booking of 14 weeks. Mr. Henry engaged in high class vaudeville and motion photo plays. PARAGRAPHS WITH POINTS By Waldo L. Batson. More money is saved than souls. Work was invented in order that man may not spend all his time trying to invent something else. When you see two women's heads placed close together over the back yard fence, you may be sure that some scandal is being discussed or predicted. Married life is hard on love. When we borrow we pawn our reputation and if we don't pay back we lose it. That part of life that we don't spend uselessly is generally the part we use to sleep with. When we get up in the morning feeling bad we generally go to bed with an increased number of enemies. He married a peach and divorced a lemon. There is one thing that gets between a man and his wife to which he does not always raise an objection, and that is space. A grease spot is the cynosure of all eyes. French Chalk. French chalk is especially good for cleaning embroidery that is too fragile to be washed with soap and water. The 'chalk should be made quite hot and sprinkled thickly over the embroidery, which is then rolled up carefully so that the chalk is inside. Allow it to stand in a dark place for a week or two, and then shake out all the chalk. This will leave the embroidery quite fresh. To Amuse Children Children who must be amused on bad days will find a "ring toos" game a delight; it can be purchased for 50 cents with four rings and a red stick for outdoor use, or a red wooden stand so that the game can be played indoors on rainy days; it is a good game for children of almost any age, for the older ones always find much fun in it, and it teaches the littler ones to alm well and throw correctly. Completely Finished One day my little three-year-old sister asked mamma for a slice of bread. She was accustomed to eat the centers of the bread only and throw away the crust. This day mother told Mercedes not to waste the outside, so when Mercedes had finished eating, she said: "Mamma, can I have another slice of bread? I ate all that, even the bones."—Exchange. Aching Feet. Silk hose should never be worn daily by one who has tender feet. They retain the moisture that should pass through the hose. Try a fine cotton hose and you will have more comfort.

In many cases of death, as for instance from drowning, the tissues remain absolutely unchanged, yet where there was life before there is now no life; something has gone out that coordinated the physical and chemical forces in the body, kept the work prevented the interfering with each other, kept the cells in equilibrium and was the source of all the energy in the body. There is the baffling mystery of life—and of death. W. H. C.

Gems In Birds' Crops Occasionally there is a gem discovered in the crop of a wild bird.

Restoring Value to Rubber People using articles made of rubber that frequently lose their elasticity through oxidation may restore the material to its original condition by a simple process. Soak the part in a mixture of one part of ammonia to two parts water.

Shows How Republican Candidates Were Selected by the People and Are Deserving of Their Support November 5. In the primary election of last spring Illinois Republicans went to the polls and, according to the Springfield State Journal, the following is the result: "Charles S. Deneen, Chicago, received his nomination for governor from 152,997 Republicans voting for him in the primary election. They gave him 21,785 more votes than were given to the Chicago Democratic candidate who was nominated against him. "Col. John G. Oglesby, Elkart, was named for lieutenant governor by 275,262 Republicans, who gave him 219,108 more votes than were received in the primary by the Chicago Democrat nominated against him. "James A. Rose, Golconda (since deceased), was selected for secretary of state by 288,130 Republicans. They gave him 183,726 more votes than the minority party put in the primary ballot boxes for the Chicago Democrat who received the opposing nomination. "When the veteran secretary was taken away by death, the Republican state central committee, elected by popular vote in the same primary, chose unanimously an equally capable and popular candidate in C. J. Doyle, Greenfield." "James S. McCullough, Champaign, was nominated for state auditor by 221,719 Republicans. The result shows 110,485 more votes for him than were received by the Democrat nominated against him. "Andrew Russell, Jacksonville, was the choice of 200,776 Republicans for state treasurer. His vote exceeded by 114,430 the total primary vote received by the Democrat nominated against him." "William H. Stead, Ottawa, was chosen for nomination for attorney general by 240,453 Republicans. The vote by which their preference was expressed amounted to 145,961 more than the total vote won by the Chicago Democrat who was made his leading opponent. "When the handful of Chicago bosses met, Friday night, August 2, behind closed doors, in a hotel bedroom, and made up the slate which was to be nominated the next day by the hand-picked Progressive state convention, not a single candidate for any nomination other than for governor and treasurer had opened headquarters or even distributed printed matter soliciting the nomination. "The people' not only had nothing whatever to do with selecting, in primary or otherwise, the candidates named on the spite state ticket, but the delegates to the convention which accepted the slate from the bosses were kept out of the convention hall until each of them pledged himself in writing to do just what the bosses ordered. "Not one was permitted to offer a motion or to say a word in opposition to the policy of putting a spite state ticket in the field. "November 5 will determine whether The People Shall Rule." PRAISES GRAIN INSPECTION Chicago Operator Declares This State Department Stands at the Top in Efficiency. Letters praising the efficiency of the Illinois grain department are being sent to their correspondents down state by E. W. Wagner & Co. of the Chicago board of trade. The letters call attention to the good work that is being done by this department, and approve its operation under the civil service act. The letter says: "Chicago's cash grain business is the greatest in the universe and the Chicago grain inspection is the world's standard. The Illinois state grain inspection department at Chicago dwarfs all rivals, and at present has 100 employees working like bees. For the year ending, June 30, 1912, 177,000 cars of grain were inspected, 6,078 were challenged for re-inspection, and of these 3,324 were sustained in the original grading. This means that 9½ percent of the original gradings were changed, and the grading of perfect inspection was at the extraordinary high rate of 98½ per cent. "The Chicago inspection plan favors the farmer in that he can wander around the inspection offices at will, be shown any figures he desires and have every query answered. Under the former plan of track inspection only 18 roads were covered, and the samplers were never met. The employees of the department are unselfishly working overtime without extra recompense. They work under the civil service rules and their efficiency is so excellent that the adoption of civil service has become a permanent blessing. On September 1 and 2, 1912, the entire staff worked overtime on Sunday and Labor day to save the grain trade from a blockade that would have lasted one week. On these two days, 766 cars were handled, which is a record. Chicago shippers say that the personnel and efficiency of the inspection department is at its zenith, leaving nothing to be desired." No Doubt. "Last winter the girls wore coats made of blankets." "I remember." "Now they are wearing hats made of towels." "Well?" "I suppose tablecloths for shirt-walts will be the next step."

MADAM PARKER'S HAIR POMADE Will Grow Your Hair. 3521 State Street Flat D Jennette 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 braided by the honeysuckle that grew over the end of the porch, she smilingly said: "Oh, Cousin Bess, I'm so glad you are home. What can I do to help Jimmie with his career?" "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 pare 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 progestion and will help him with his career.' If you were a young wife, Cousin Bess, wouldn't that stagger you?" "Indeed you 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 again 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." "No, dear, you are not; but you can serve Jimmie quite well at home, being his own loving little wife." "Oh," breathed Jeanette. "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 is 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. "Silence is a wonderful help to a tired man. All the little attentions 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 vexious 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. "Don't let Jimmie be 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. "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." 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. An Abandoned Story This is the story of Peleg Oatcake, a farmer who didn't talk dialect, and John B.

When recently seen the commission consisted of from 30 to 40 individual elephants meandering in solitary fashion on a plain. The observer was most astonished at the weak defenses offered by their bodies. None of them had a tusk of more than ten kilograms in weight. A dead member of the flock was afterward found, the tusk of which weighed but eight kilograms. Bee Sting Cause of Death While the Abbe Genoux, priest of the parish of Plagnes, France, was out walking at Annecy, a bee flow into his mouth and stung him in the back of the throat. The sting brought about acute inflammation and such a swelling of the throat that the priest died of suffocation within 20 minutes, after great suffering.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREATIONAL CHURCH. The members and friends of the Lincoln Memorial Congregational church lisiened with great pleasure and profit to the Rev. H. H. Dunn of the Central Congregational church of New Orleans, Ln. His was a message of encouragement and hope. Text: Zachariah 4:10: "For who hath despised the day of the Lord?" With a brief preface the Rev. M. Dunn said in part: "The Lincoln Memorial Congregational church was not standing alone in its struggle, but had the sympathy REV. EUGENE C. LAWRENCE. and a pledge of the financial support of all the Congregational churches of the south and north, the immediate support of the Chicago City Missionary society and could rely upon the aid of the Church Building society in the event of the erection of a new church. "Every movement that has stood for this unapplauded anything worth while has had its harm beginning. Zerubbabel, with a remembrance fellow countrymen, began the task of rebuilding the city of Jerusalem which had been razed to the ground by the hand of the enemy. "With a similar purpose and with like implements you can erect here a house of worship which will do credit to the community, to the city and to the race. You can do it. You must do it. "The greatest movement the world has ever witnessed, the Christian church, began with just a handful of workers. But they, like their great teacher and leader, were men who meant business." "Christ and His church call for men and women who mean business, individuals who are willing to put the best they have in the movements that are making for righteousness. "The promoters of the abolition of slavery in America stood all alone to start with, but their cause was a worthy one and God raised up an army of allies, so that the first great souls that gave their lives for the cause did not die for naught. "You are called upon for God and this soul, to live heroically for all that is making righteousness." The evening was well attended and full of interest. Pastor Lawrence gave a clear and forceful argument upon true discipline; namely, self-denial, crossbearing and patient following on the way.

THE Y. M. C. A. HEADQUARTERS A staterception address was given at the Y. M. C. A. meeting on last Sunday by Mr. A. Bruce Minear. Mr. Minear's address was on the Pauma Canal. One hundred and twenty-five views were exhibited, which showed the stupendous work that is being accomplished by the government in building this canal. The views also showed the living conditions of the workmen and the care that the government is taking in keeping the men in a healthy, sanitary condition. Mr. Minear, the man who was sent to the canal zone to establish the Young Men's Christian Association there. At present he is one of the secretaries of the international committee of Young Men's Christian Association of the United States, who is working among the railroad branches. The department was very fortunate in securing him for this lecture. The Wabash Avenue Department will observe the "World Wide Call to Prayer" by the Young Men's Christian Association and will hold special prayer services on Sundays, Nov. 10 and 17, at Odd Fellows' hall at 4 p.m. Father J. B. Massiah, rector of St Thomas' Episcopal church, is the speaker for Sunday, Nov. 17. Rev. N. K. Clarkson, superintendent of the White Cross Midnight Missionary Association, an organization which preaches, teaches, sings and distributes the gospel of Christ in the slums and segregated vice districts, will bring a special message to the men. The prayer meeting committee is making efforts to get a large number of unconcerned and non-church-going men to be present during these special meetings. Mr. J. E. Moorland, in writing to Association Men, a monthly magazine of the Young Men's Christian Association, gives the following statement from the Y. M. C. A. for Colored Men at Washington, D. C.

PICTURE OF CHRIST Brass Medal Bearing Likeness Excavated in Wales. Interesting Relic Bears an inscription in Hebrew Script—Believed to Have Been Property of Bran the Blessed. Aberraw, Wales.—It is reported that a most interesting medal has been discovered in the excavating of ancient remains near Aberraw, Wales. The medal is of brass, having a picture of Jesus on one side and on the other an inscription in Hebrew script, which has been translated "Jesus, the Great Messiah, the Man. Mediator;" or "Jesus Christ, the Mediator or Reconciler." Discovered amid Drudr ruins, it has been supposed that this invaluable relic must have once been in the hands of Bran the Blessed, who was one of Caractacus' hostages at Rome, between 62 and 59 A. D., when Paul was preaching Christianity in Rome. It was but two years later, 61 A. D., that the Roman general, Suetanus, extirpated him from the city. There is more than a suggestion of the way in which the medal reached the site where it was discovered. The portrait is especially interesting, as it corresponds in every way with the description of Jesus given in the famous letter sent to the Emperor Tiberius and the senate, at Rome, by Publius Lentulus. This letter may be translated as follows: There hath appeared in these, our days, a man of great virtue, named Jesus, the son of the sages, among us, and of the Gentiles as a prophet; his disciples call him the 'Son of God.' He raisles the dead and curses all manner of diseases; a man of stature somewhat tall and comely, with very reverend countenance, such as the beholders both love and fear; his hair the color of chestnut, full ripe, plain to his ears, whence downwards it is more orient, curling and waving about his shoulders. In the midst of his forehead is a seam or a partition of his hair, whence downwards the Nazarites; his forehead plain to his face without a spot or wrinkle, surrounded with the most lovely blush; his nose and mouth so formed that both האיבר האיבר האיבר האיבר Old Medal Found in Wales. ing can be rephended; his board abundant. in color like his hair, not very long, but forked; his look innocent and matured; his eyes, gray, clear and quick. In reproving he is terrible; in damnishing, courteous and fair-spoken; pleasant in conversation, mixed with gravity. It cannot be remarked that anyone saw him laugh, but many have seen him weep. in proportion of body, most excellent; in hands and arms most delicate to hold and are arms most modest to modest and wise. A man, for his singular beauty, surpassing the children of men." This letter is held by scholars to be Apocryphal—that is, written at least some time after the supposed date, so as to present a picture of Jesus as he must have appeared to a Roman at that time in Palestine—but it is of no small interest when consider which is connection with this medal, which is very old, though possibly it may not go back to the first century! If it were possible to prove that this is a real *P恳ness of Christ*, all the money in the Bank of England could not buy it, for it would be the first real portrait of Jesus that the world has received. Various attempts to recover the real picture of Jesus from the different pictures found in the museums at Rome and elsewhere have made, notably by Sir Wykro Baylless, F. S. A., but hitherto with no real conviction of success. "STINGER STUNG;" LAUGHTER How a Manitoba Man Bought a $500 Sealikain Coat His Wife and Logs! Minneapolis, Minn.—"The 'atinger stung" is the descriptive phrase that may be applied to an incident which is said to have happened within the last few days and which government secret service agents are said to be investigating. The "atinger," according to one secret service agent, is a Canadian who recently purchased a $500 scaleln coat here for his wife and started back with it to Winnipeg. The "atinger" was applied to the "atinger" when he is alleged to have prevailed upon a woman whom he met upon the train to wear the coat across the border in order to avoid the payment of duty, and when the woman, during him to "quail," refused to return to town.

The fight of the 5,000 Cherokee Indian freedmen to lands valued at from $5,000,000 to $5,000,000 are involved in the case of the Keetowah Society and others against the Secretary of the Interior, set for hearing this week in the Supreme court of the District of Columbia. The Keetowahs are full-blooded Cherokees who object to the tribal assets. It is proposed that the administration will be sustained in its stand for the rights of the freed men. The War Department may appoint additional Filipinos as cadets in the West Point Military academy. In 1907 the president recommended that congress authorize the appointment of seven young Filipinos, or one for every million inhabitants of the Philippine islands, as cadets at West Point, but congress authorized the appointment of only four, one for each class at the Academy. The first Filipino appointed as cadet has reached his third year at West Point, and he may, under existing law, have his successor appointed this year; the fifth Filipino to (/; the academy. It is he who, after authority will be granted, be ditional Filipino cadets named. Nothing is being said, by the way, about any movement to encourage Negroes to enter the academy to fit themselves for an advanced military career. Mrs. Hattie C. Johnson, wife of Mr. Eustis B.

The occasion was unique and highly enjoyable. President Taft, with characteristic enthusiasm for everything looking to the educational advancement of the people, has written a letter endorsing the movement to have installed in Washington a permanent world exposition, illustrative of the industrial resources of the international resources of the various states of the union. If established, the Negro will be represented. Dr. Charles H. Marshall, the newly appointed colored member of the board of education, has been named by President Oyster as chairman of two of the most important committees working in connection with the board. They are the committees on hygiene and sanitation and on water supply and drainage. Dr. Marshall is also a member of the committees on military affairs and athletics, Inspection a 1 disposal of unserviceable supplies, on normal, high, manual training and trade schools and on ways and means, Captain James F. Oyster is a high-grade man of the people and can be depended upon at all times to do that merit is to be considered, he is absolutely color-blind, is a friend of the Negro schools and who is credo the "best is none too good the colored children," as he tersely puts. Dr. Marshall's appointment pleases all elements of Washington's variegated populace and his selection is a source of great satisfaction to the race. The district is sure to be admirably served by the broad-gauged and far-seeing Dr. Marshall. Dr. Ulysses C. Houston, brother of Attorney W. L. Houston, has returned from Chicago, where he graduated from the medical department of Chicago University, winning high honors. Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand D. Lee (nee Ms. F. G. Snelson) were "at home" to host of friends last Friday at their beautiful home, 923 R. northwest. Many valuable present, Mrs. Reeves, Mrs. Ada Matthew Rose, Mrs. Reeves, Wackey, Miss M. L. Evans and Mr. W. P. Lord assisted in receiving the guests, who numbered about 125. Mr. and Mrs. Lee will take an active part in the social life of the capital. Announcement is made of the marriage of Prof. Joseph L. Whiting, teacher of mathematics at Tuskegee Institute, and Miss Helen Adele Johnson, a former teacher of music and drawing at Tuskegee, and now assistant teacher of the Teachers' Training Center of the University. The happy event took place Opening Ala. Aug. 3, and the knot was tied by Rev. J. W. Whittaker, chaplain of Tuskegee Institute. Miss Johnson is a daughter of Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, pastor of the Second Baptist church of this city, and a graduate of our public schools and of the Teachers' College of Howard University. Prof. and Mrs. Johnson are occupying their new bungalow at Tuskegee Institute. Dr. Booker T. Washington is expected in the city in a few days to arrange plans for the coming meeting of the Jeanes fund board in December. President Taft is an active member of this board and the principal meeting will be held, as usual, at the Negro Press Association is to be organized here this month. In January next there will be two vacancies on the board of district commissioners. In all probability, President Taft will fill the places at once. President Cuno H. Rudolph may be retained. For the second place, a strong sentiment is noticeable, the favor of Capt. James F. Oyster, the chief of the board of education and of the chair of commerce. If President Taft wishes to please the colored citizens of the District, as well as to recognize a man who will give all the citizens of the District satisfactory service, he will name Capt. Oyster for commissioner. Of unimpeachable character, of ample business experience, of broad public spirit and of immense personal popularity, Capt. Oyster will be the chief of the position in every possible way. Let it be Commissioner Oyster, Mr. President. Mr. Charles H. Fearing, assistant to the principal's secretary at Tuskegee Institute, was in the city Tuesday, on route southward, after an extended tour of the north and east in the inland Washington's great school. Mr. Fearing was holding the picture of health and of the opinions that the Negro's best field for substantial endeavor is found in the southland. Mr. Tyler E. Hill, formerly of this city, is acting as business manager of the McDowell Times at Keystone, West Virginia. He mentioned in connection with his residency of the Mu-Su-Lib Club for "inaugural year" are Messrs. S. J. Davidson, Leut. T. H. I. Clarke, G. Lathgard Sutherland, R. W. Thompson, Dr. W. Bruce Evans and C. J. Pickett. Next Tuesday evening "Howard University Night" will be observed by the President and Historical Association. President S. M. Newman will be the principal speaker. Thought His Duty Ended The Duc de Raguse once explained to the Countess de Bolee the nature of his connection with the emperor as follows: "When the emperor said, 'All for France,' I served with enthustiasm; when he said, 'France and L.' I served with obedience; but when he said, 'T without France, I felt the necessity of separating from him." Child-Training. It is not fair to a small child for the parents or nurses to be careless about the little things that develop thoughtfully in a child. Self-control is a characteristic absolutely essential to manhood or womanhood, and it is not learned in a day. It is the result of patient teaching and training through all the long years of babyhood and chlidhood. Pretty Girls and Plain Men When a pretty woman marries a plain man it is not because she pites him. A woman loves a man because of his strength. His determination appeals to her, and wins her in the end, though she may not have been attracted to him in the beginning. Firmness compels a woman's admiration and respect, and that is the first stepping stone to love. The Difference. Bings—"I see a woman has been cured of rheumatism by a stroke of lightning."

LONDON'S BIG PARK Regents, Formerly Royal Property, is Now 100 Years Old. Thirty Years Was Required to Build Historic Preserve - Queen Elizabeth Restored Grounds to Public and Ousted Residences. London.—The present park is the centenary of Regent's Park, the largest one in London. That is, it is just one hundred years since the government took hold of the project of forming a park out of the pasture land as Marylebone Farm and Fields. With its annexes the Regent's park of today covers over four hundred acres. The land was formerly the outer park attached to the royal mansion of Henry VIII and was a favorite hunting ground of the Tudors. Here Queen Elizabeth entertained the Russian ambassadors with a stag hunt. During the eighteenth century Marylebone park, split up into dairy farms, was one of the principal sources of milk simply London, and these fields were intersected by footpaths which formed favorite promenades for the pent-up Londoner. According to a government survey made in 1794, Marylebone park contained 543 acres. Shortly after this survey premiums were offered by the government for the best plans for building on the estate as soon as the lease should fall in. Nash's plan to build the estate was accompanied by a few palatial villas, adjoining ground on building leases for the erection of high class residence, was ultimately adopted. It was decided to name this ornamental closure after the prince engod, who, it was said, intended building a residence in the park, but this plan, if ever entertained, was abandoned. The present park was commenced early in 1812 and for several years it presented the most extraordinary vista and building, and seemed more like a work of general destruction than anything else." The commissioners of woods and forests resolved to lay out and plant the whole domain according to the plan before permitting any building there. The commissioners first thing they did was to demolish the farmhouses and taverns and stop up the footpaths within the enclosure. When the project of making the park was sanctioned by act of parliament, a whole had no inking that they might have done without the leges of using it. In 1814, however, Rest House In London Park. some unaccented men to be unmaintended respect, the ultimate intentions of the missioners. To cut a long story short, as fast as the various terraces encircling the park and the detached villas within the incision were completed the public were excluded from the park leads either opposite or round and about the houses till finally they found themselves shut out of the park entirely. This infringement of the rights of the public (for the improvements were paid for out of the public purse) was very gradual and insidious. The park took nearly thirty years to hay out and build, and it was not till 1838 that a vast space up to the fact that while a vast space had been preserved from the encroachment of small buildings, they had lost the time necessary of use it for recreation and exercise. In that year the commissioners gave the public access to a small strip on the eastern side. This concession was speedily followed by an agitation against the whole policy of Regent's park. In April, 1814, Lord Nugent presented an address to the queen from the neighboring parishes praying her majesty to throw the entire park open to the public. The queen personally investigated the subject and came to the conclusion that the rights of the public were held in the hands. By her orders the whole park threw open on August 15, 1814, and simultaneously the government purchased Primrose hill from the Eton college estate and added it to the park. The concession of the Zoological society with the park dates from 1828 and the collection of animals was swelled by transferring the royal collection in the Tower thither in 1834. It may be added that the zoo never really caught on with the public until the immense excitement created by the arrival of the first hippopotamus in the botanic society was granted the use of a circular circle in 1840 and at once rewarded the privilege by erecting high mounds of earth to insure privacy. There have been but few eventful episodes in the history of Regent's park. Unlike Hyde park, it has never been the scene of riots, great political demonstrations, military displays or public feitivities. Objects to Wearing Trouseres. Philadelphia—Johanna, a five-year-old chimpanzee in the zoo here, objected to wearing trousers and tore to shreds a pair of yellow ones which she had be given. South American Mountain Lion, Natives Say, Will Defend Him Against Other Animals. The North American "mountain lion" does not take kindly to captivity or taming, but the South American representative of the species, the puma, enjoys the title among the Spanish speaking people of "el amigo del cristalante," or friend of the Christian, and many cases are on record wherein it has been made as tame as a domestic cat or dog. The people who wild state never attack man, but will defend him against other animals, and especially against iguanas. Felix d'azara, a Spanish naturalist who spent years in the accumulation of material for a work on natural history, cites many cases known to him of the taming of pumas. The belief of the natives of South America that the puma will defend a human being against any other wild animal is founded on the fact that in any region where two species of one genus inhabit the same country they are usually at enmity; and this being the case with the puma and the jaguar, the puma's well known indisposition to attack man, joined with its ferocity toward the jaguar, easily creates the impression that it is defending the human being against the jaguar. There is a story of a Spanish governor of Buenos Aires, who once had a Spanish girl to a tree in a place infested by its, as a punishment for visiting the Indians. It was supposed that she would be torn to pieces by the jaguars before morning. The next day, however, she was found unharmed, and she averred that a puma had sat by her alight, and that the puma was regarded by the people at the time as a miraculous interposition in the girl's behalf. It would not be so regarded now. The puma, having no desire to eat the girl, was simply playing the part of "the dog in the manger." In the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons in London there is preserved the skeleton of a pums that was the property of Edmund Kean, the tragedian. This animal used to follow Kean about his house and his garden, and was even introduced into his drawing rooms. The Obsession of Fritz the detection. A veteran salesman than two scores of years of service in the wholesale clothing field relates the following. It proves that entertaining buyers is by no means a modern custom, and that entertainment is not always appreciated by those who receive it. The scence is laid in a local men's wear house some 40 years ago. The chief characters are a salesman and the buyer, a shrew merchant tailor named Fritz. Fritz had come down from his place of business that day, and in the morning had bought, bought carefully, wisely and well. Appreciative of his good buying, the salesman took Fritz to a rather cladibate lunch. Returning to the house, Fritz was shown a bolt of cloth. He scowled at and fingered it. The salesman asked, "What's the matter, Fritz? Don't you feel well?" "Ach, I'm all right," replied the buyer, "but, since you made up the price of that fine meal on the first piece you sold me this afternoon, why keep tacking it on to every piece you show?" Floating Dock Risks At Lloyd's of late there has been an unusual amount of business in connection with the insurance of floating docks. Two of these huge structures—one of them with a lifting capacity of 23,000 tons, built at Birkenhead, and another of the same size constructed at Wallsend—are now, to the great relief of underwriters, at their destination, Portsmouth and Sheerness, respectively. The risk on both was $25,000, and during the towage of a several high-rise building, a large number of fairly high rates. Preparations are being made to take the dock of 25,000 tons, which was built at Barrow, across the Atlantic to Montreal, and three Dutch tugs have engaged for the purpose. The p at a premium of five guinea per per cent $1,250,000, but some underwriters, who fear trouble owing to the prospect of unfavorable weather conditions, are offering reinsurance at all advance of six guineas on the original prospect of beingVOwed the anxiety of the market is beingVOwed daily reports of the progress made are of course impossible—Consular Reports. Photographing a Tornado We frequently hear of the daring of photographers who expose themselves to real dangers in order to obtain unique and interesting photographs. Here is an example of such daring. Last May a tornado occurred in Oklahoma which devastated a section of country near Poca City, killing a number of people and destroying much of the tornado had the approach of the telephone ahead, which gave an amazing photographer the chance to prepare to record the phenomenon with his camera. He took the photograph from a house which lay directly in line with the approach of the tornado. The picture clearly shows the funnel-shaped cloud formation. Immediately on snapshots a photographer took refuge in a cave, where the came on it completely demolished the house from which the picture had been taken. -Scientific American.

Mrs. Gertrude Frazies, owing to ill health, will not make the western trip with the Carolinas, who leave tonight for a six months' tour, covering a number of the best chauauquas of the west. THE GRAND. Last Half, Thursday, Oct. 31. The bill contained Kennedy and Mac in acrobatic stunts; Kramer and Ross did a few interesting steps in dancing; Whitfield and Ireland in a little sketch, "The Belle of Bingville," were splendid. They carry a drop curtain that makes a roaring hit before they put in their appearance, and when Miss Ireland appears, well, every one has a convulsion. The team is all O. K. and was the hit of the bill. Benny and Benny were fine in their selections from grand opera to their renditions in ragtime. The "Seven Saxones" in their transparent dressing room were fair. First Half, Monday, Nov. 4. A splendid troupe of Japanese are the Hayailchi Acrobats. As is well known the Japanese are most remarkable in their feats of strength, endurance and agility, and the troupe which played at the Grand the first half of the week was wonderful. Johnny and Maze Fogarty do a dandy turn as "The Comedian and the Girl" and easily get three curtain calls. San Carlo and his military band play well, and that is saying a great deal, for their instruments are—well, never mind; enough to say, they are not up to the music played on them. And Director San Carlo will make as much impression if he uses less strenuosity in directing as the audience is only cognizant of the fact that much of his exertion is given for the amusement of the people, which is wholly unnecessary, as that style of conducting fails of its purpose in this age. Manny and Roberts, those brilliant boys in up-to-date songs and dancing, as ever pleased the audience and left them wanting more. Colton, Darrow and Company are more than entertaining in their comedy playlet, "The Wise Guy." It is well acted and is a scream from start to finish. THE MONOGRAM. Mills and Tansell are bowing over the footlights to us again. In every return of this team to our city one can see a marked improvement in the work of both parties; especially so in Miss Tansell's work. She is so much sweeter when she smiles, as she always does now, her costumes are more becoming, and, well, there is a better atmosphere about the entire act. Tim and Hester Moore are having the stage as long as they wish this week; they are as clever as ever and the people keep them in sight. Princess Sotanki, in her "Dance of Death," is most graceful as well as horrifying. The dancer performs her incantations to a hideous snake, full-five feet long. Her work, though grewsome, is fascinating and is better enjoyed when seen than read of. A treat is presented to the public in the appearance of Miss Abbie Mitchell. The lady has a most pleasing stage manner and sings exceptionally well. Her sweet voice rings clearly in her first number, "My Lady Nicotine," which is a most beautiful as well as a difficult style of a descriptive ballad. She is a decided hit and unanimous favorite of the theatergoers. THE PEKIN. This theater has been closed for 'one week but will open Sunday, Nov. 10, with a stock company, headed by Perrin, Crosby and Saparo, in what the headliners are attempting to make one of the best musical comedies of the season, "The Laughing Trust." The company numbers about twenty people and it is stated that if all goes well Mr. Perrin and his associates will remain at the Pekin and try to bring back the days when the S. R. O. sign was nightly displayed. The house will be under the management of Arthur C. Harris, a man thoroughly informed along theatrical lines. GOSSIP ABOUT THE TRAVELERS The Player Folk in Washington. Those "Ginger Girl," Eile King and Lottie Gee, were the "top liners" on the magnificent bill of the Howard theater this week, and right royally are they "delivering the goods." The Frederich trio (white)—two women and a man—gave startling exhibition of physical strength, muscle play and trapeze gymnastics. Parker and Dabney, the Great Thelm and the Dixieland Four made up one of the best bills that Manager Thomas has presented this season. The usual packed houses have been on hand to greet these high class vaudevillians this week. Miss Lillian Brown, the pliant comedienne and male impersonator, who has been captivating folks at all of the local theaters, has taken a house in Washington at 6th and T streets. Ethlyn and Luke Scott are at the Fairyland with a new sketch, showing Mr. Scott to excellent advantage in comedy. He displays a talent for the grotesque that even his best friends had no idea he possessed, since most of his work heretofore has been "straight." Miss Ethlyn has some new govns and is a "society queen" from head to foot. Manager Thomas of the Howard theater has been putting on a trombone solo, with the audience joining in the chorus of a popular song, and the innovation is taking big. "Dearest Memories" and "Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland" were recent selections. The "Sunday Pops" have become a mannequin institution. The Amphion takes an assisst concert "Frankie" Payne and Charlie Green are alternating in their personal direction of the Foraker and the Blue Mouse theaters, both of which are controlled by them. "The Original Rags" (Arthur Wollidge) is a favorite here. He is a rapid fire talker, as well as a singer of quality. He has served as an auctioneer and as a "barker" for Coney Island attractions. He was a recent guest of the crack Mu-So-Llt club here, with R. W. Thompson as host. Fiddler and Shelton will be here about Christmas time. The Misses Sipp and Ringgold are to return soon. A new house in the northeast is being sought by certain well known managers. Adams and Beverly are operating the Star theater in the southwest. Manager Lew Henry of Dudleys is a versatile genius. He can do anything from taking care of the curtain and shifting the scenes to running the picture machine and taking tickets at the door. Besides this he can go on the stage and give a whole show by himself. The "Howard University Cosy Corner" at the Howard divides honors with the show on the opening nights. Mme. Anita Patti Brown comes to Howard university on the 25th for a matinee musical. The road shows will be here early in the spring. Leona Marshall renewed old friendships here last week. She is better than ever. She first became known here when with "The Red Moon" and later as the leading lady of "My Friend from Dixie." T. E.

The "rattlesnake season" this year in the southwest was unusually destructive of life and was marked by some startling and dramatic incidents. It is estimated that some 50 deaths from snake bites have occurred this season in the plains country and in the mountain regions of New Mexico, Arizona and Texas, a New York World's Dalhart, Tex., correspondent writes. E. B. Van Veen of the Pinal mountain district tells of a fight between a rattlesnake and a gila monster. Bob Henry, on returning from his camp by the Pinal mountain road, was attracted by the sound of a rattlesnake. Turning, he saw a rattler about seven feet long and three feet away a gila monster sitting on an ant hill. The snake stood up from the ground higher than a man's knee in the shape of an elongated S. The remainder of his body was upon the ground behind him in a straight line. In addition to rattling, a hissing sound issued from his mouth. The gila was standing up as high from the ground as his short legs would permit. His tensed attitude indicated that trouble was ahead. Suddenly the snake sprang at the big lizard, but it evaded the stroke by flattening itself on the ground. The snake drew himself up again and struck again and missed. The third time the snake drew back and struck, but the lizard was two inches to the right. The snake started to draw back for another attempt when the gila monster made a lightning-like plunge and the next instant the back of the rattlesnake's neck was in the bulldog jaws of the eighteen-inch lizard, which was shaking it like a rat. Several times the lizard was thrown violently into the air and as often it was dragged on the dusty road, with its feet vainly attempting to find a hold. But the jaws held tight, and in two or three minutes the snake lay dead on the ground. From Flagstaff, Arlz., comes the story of John Gustafson, who, bitten in the palm of the right hand by a rattlesnake at Russell's mining camp in the Copper Basin district, has fully recovered. Not only that, but inoculation with the deadly venom has cured insomnia, from which Gustafson had been a sufferer for five years. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Nelson of Jerome Junction, Arlz., vouch for a story told of a fight between a house cat and a rattlesnake. The cat, the mother of six kittens, was peramulating among the little mounds of a prairie dog town when she was attacked by a ratter and bitten on the cheek. She retired to her nest under the house and for several days her head was swollen to several times its normal size. As soon as she recovered, she set out in the direction of the prairie dog town and an hour later returned to the house with a big dead rattlesnake in her mouth and showing evidence of a hard fight. Near Bisbee, Ariz, Alfred Kinney, seventeen years old, encountered a rattler by the roadside and battled with it. After the snake, apparently stunned by the repeated strokes from the boy's riding whip, retreated to its lair and the boy was preparing to mount his horse, it sneaked out of the hole and bit the boy and he died a few hours later. The eighteen-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Max Otto of Skidmore, Tex., was bitten by a large rattler and died within a few hours. Samuel Dunlap of Comanche, Tex., while on a visit to his farm in Miles county, discovered two large rattlesnakes in a pile of brush and undertook to capture them alive. He procured a large fishing cord and placed them in a nail leg and took them to Comanche and placed them on exhibition. Each had seven rattles and a button.

Clears Kingbird's Reputation The United States has granted a certificate of good character to the kingbird, sometimes known in the rural districts as the bee martin, a species of fly catcher which inhabits nearly every part of the United States. The kingbird has been under indictment in many sections as a destroyer of bees and a foe of aparists. Department of agriculture experts fully exonerate the bird of being a destroyer. They say that it kills only the drones and the useless bees, and is, therefore, a boon to the bee raiser. Besides that, it preys on many harmful insects, and protects farmers' chicken yards from depredations of crows and chicken hawks, which it savagely attacks. Estimating.

Will battleships soon be built without armor protection? Many naval experts believe that they will. The protective,power of armor plate has increased only 2.3 times in fifty years, whereas the power of gun fire has increased in the same period eight times. The result is that no armor the ship can carry is of sufficient thickness, to stop the high power projectiles. The question now agitating the naval constructors is whether the efficiency of the fighting ship will not be increased by doing away with the armor weight, which amounts to about 30 per cent. of the displacement of the most recent vessels. This weight handicap, which makes the war vessel "logy", in a seaway and perhaps dangerous, could be used in added gun and steam power. It is argued by the no-armor crowd that the best defense of the vessel is in its own gun fire. If this can be made powerful enough the ship will need no other protection for it will be able to demoralize the enemy and prevent it from firing accurately enough to do any damage. It is argued that the recent demonstrations in which the United States used the former battleship Texas as a target and the British demolished the Edinburgh showed that the cost and weight of armor are out of all proportion to its value as a protector. The high power shells were able to penetrate the steel walls without difficulty. The first armored ships carried wrought iron protection. The Monitor and the Merrimac were the first on this side and the Warrior was the first British iron clad. The latter had 4.5 inch armor and its nine inch gun could penetrate, eight inches of such armor at 3,000 yards. The present vessels have armor of from eleven to twenty-four inches. The present 13 inch gun at 3,000 yards can penetrate about twenty-six inches of this protection, or what is equivalent to sixty-one inches of wrought iron. The century old struggle between the attack and the defense has been going steadily in favor of the attack. First Tweed Trousers. Sir Walter Scott's black and white tweed trousers figured in a paper dealing with the designing and coloring of Scotch tweeds read by Thomas Welsh at the opening session of the Textile congress at Harwick. The author was one of the earliest wearers of the tweed and the first pieces made were in the black and white design. Colored checks were introduced by accident. A manufacturer had made a number of pieces and the white was so impure and soiled they could not be sold. Then some one suggested that if the pieces were dyed brown the defect would be covered. The suggestion was acted upon and a new check of black and brown was the result. The new color was sent to London and sold rapidly. It was a short step to dye black and green and blue, and to make broken checks and the trade increased amazingly. Ideas for colors were collected in the bed of the River Garry and the pass of Killiecrankle.

A number of schoolteachers were on the boat, bound for Quebec, and these young ladies were very much interested in the loading of the cheese. One of them asked the writer how many there were. "The Megantic takes on from 15,000 to 25,000 cheese every trip," he truthfully informed her. "How—how many people are there on board?" she asked. "About 1,200 this trip." For a moment the young lady regarded him in astonishment; then she looked at the cheese being loaded by the hundred. "It's truly wonderful!" she gasped. "I never would have believed it if I had not seen them with my own two eyes! And only 1,200 people! Goodness me, they must be fierce cheese eaters!"—Judge. Both: Systems Failed An old Irishman was confiding to a friend that he had little confidence either in life insurance companies or in saving banks. "Now, a cousin of moline," he said, "had his loife insured for the binitif of his widdy, an' anither all, he never had wan, for' twas him that lived to be' eighty-noine' an' her that died. "Wid banks' it's the other way. There was me uncle. He put money in the bank, an' he kept stickin' it in and stickin' it in, in the hopes that, whin old age come, he'd take it out gradual loke and enjoy himself. Instid of that, 'twas him that had the widdy befoore he touched skty!

To Watch Egypt's Banks Lord Kitchener is preparing to introduce an innovation in Egypt which is also contrary to the practice at home in Great Britain by establishing a system of inspection for banks, both native and foreign. The rigid governmental scrutiny of banking establishments, both state and national, which prevails in this country, has no counterpart in the United Kingdom. The Egyptian ministry of finance, however, has drafted a law for bank examinations which is to be submitted to the legislative council at its next session and will eventually go to the mixed court for its sanction, so that it may be applied to foreign banks. In the meantime, a meeting of bank managers is to be convoked at the ministry of finance to discuss the details of the scheme for which a special department will be created. What Did the Bride Say?

Hunt, ‘Troop H, Ninth Cavalry, de fends. bis comrades who have been vilely slandered, and tells of their bravery in Mexico in’ an interesting letter to The Statesman. His letter in part is as follows: “Knowing that many readers of ‘The Statesman who aro relatives and friends of members of the Ninth Cav. ary have read much since our de. parture from Cheyenne that tended |to lower our character as a whole, as ‘well ag cast a. slur upon the good name of the regiment which has been maintained for so long a time, 1 am | glad to deny the many infamous state- ments as appeared In some of the leading papers of the country. “1 do not claim that the personal character of every man of the regl- Jment {s of good standing, nor above reproach, but 1 do claim that, the con: duct of the regiment as a whole has been as good as might be expected of so large a number of men, no matter what their standing In life, A. local [paper of Trinidad had an account of two saloons being routed and taken | charge of by the Ninth Cavalry, which ‘stateinent was false. ‘The same paper ‘stated that upon checking up Afty of jour number was absent, which was also false, Many other like state. ‘ments, untruthful and based without foundation, appeared in some of the leading papers of the country, to the chagrin and disgust of every’ selt-re specting member of the regiment, | “Troops ©, F, G, H, J, K and L are fn camp at Douglas, Arizona, about 700 yards from the border line.

It is a supply town for the federais, and for the same purpose is much coveted by the rebels. “Last Sunday morning our eamp was thrown into a state of excitement by the call ‘to arms,’ which was sound: ed because of a large force of rebels ‘marehing on Agua Prieta. A big bat tle was expected between the two Mexican forces, but as they have been warned that any firing into American territory will be returned by Ameri ean soldiers, and’ that our regiment, including the machine gun platoon, was prepared for action, undoubtedly averted a clash between the two forces, for after we had formed in Mme near the border, heavily laden with arms and ammunition, the revel commander withdrew from the imme- diate vicinity of Douglas and the border.

Ask the sergeant who I am when you get to the station, my lad!” “See hero,” said young Happle, “I'm no burglar!” “Then who"—the voice was in. tensely polite—'may you be, with yer shoes in yer hands, a-sneaking out of 8 house at two in the morning, mak- ing no more nojse than a bunny rab- ‘bite Young Happle opened bis mouth and closed it again. It suddenly ‘Seemed preposterous to tell the truth. Supposing he should confide to the policeman that hts cousin was large, and, not having room in bed for slum- ber, he had decided to arise and go home in the rain? He could in fancy hear the jeers of this disagreeable of- ficer, Still— “Y’ see,” broke In the voice, “y’ see, yeh can't frame up an excuse at all! It’s lucky Mr. Matts tipped me of to watch his place special this summer. ‘With all the burglaries there {fs goin’ on! Have yeh any of the family jools about yeh, now, I'd like to know?” “Get out!” young Happle said, fiercely, as the hand slid into his pocket. Then he told bis story. “Ring the bell and rouse the house if you ‘don’t believe me,” he said, inclosing his recital, “ "Tis likely I'd be wakin’ ’em all up swith a fool story like the one you've been telling’ me!” said the police: man, “Well, if you won't do that,” said young Happle, wearily, “come on with me to my own home and let them identify met” “I don’t believe you,” declared the officer, firmly. “But it’s on my beat an’ I'll humor you.” Through the rain they plodded the interminable distance to young Hap- ple's home and up to the front door the policeman marched him. “I—T haven't any key!” young Hap- ple blurted out, after searching hie pockets, “I—TI forgot it!” ‘The policeman gave a good imita tion of a man whose suspicions have been justified. “I knew it!” he chuckled. “Were you pinin’ for a walk that you took me clear up here In the rain, I'd lke to know? None of that, now!” Young Happle had reached desperately for the door bell. “Get a crowd of people here and then break away when the excitement is going on! I know your kind! You come along!” Back they splashed through the rain, the policeman triumphant, young Happlg too angry to speak. He was soal to the skin and he loathed the world. The dawn was breaking when he at last got into: communica- tion with the Matts house. Arthur arrived at the station at eight. He looked’ disgustingly comfortable and be surveyed his ragged and be- oystisa cousin with great enjoyment. /__“Now you mention it,” he told young ‘Happle, “that threeguarter bed was more roomy after you left.”—Chicago StIll Gelna Staned. “What do you think of the war?” “What war?” “The war in Tripoll” “I really can't say.

FOREIGNERS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF NIGHT SCHOOLS Great Interest Manifested by Pupils in the High Schools—Days of Instruction Shortened Because of the Small Appropriation—Teachers Had to Instruct Larger Classes—Vocational Classes Increased to a Large Extent—Complete Figures for 1911-12-350,000 Total Enrollment. The Chicago public schools had an enrollment of nearly 350,000 pupils during the term of 1911-12. It is expected the present term will exceed that number. Great interest is manifested by the parents in the education of their children. Splendid Series of Lectures. There is a system of lecture courses given free to parents at various schools in the city. Through these lectures parents are taught the value and importance of educating their children. They are instructed in the hygienic care of the children at home. They have the opportunity, through moving pictures, to see the conditions existing in other neighborhoods throughout the city and also various others parts of the world. They are enlightened on the system of education in other countries and are thereby able to compare the relative growth and progress of other nations. Night Schools Attract Many. There is another advantage in the school system of Chicago that is rendering important and much needed benefits to the community—that is night schools. In this cosmopolitan city there are people from all parts of the world, and the night schools are a boon to the many thousands of them, who on account of the lack of knowledge of the English language cannot be accommodated in the day schools. There are many other foreigners—men and women—as well as Americans, who, on account of the responsibilities of life, take advantage of this golden opportunity to improve themselves. 27,652 Pupils Attended School. During the last term there was a total enrollment of 27,652 pupils and the average nightly attendance was 14,609. The severe winter season materially affected the attendance in the classes of immigrants who were studying English and of the younger pupils who took the regular grade work, but the enrollment of the high school classes was 24 per cent greater, the average nightly membership 32 per cent greater and the average attendance 24 per cent greater than the previous year. Lack of Funds Hampers Work. The interest manifested by the high school pupils may be easily attributed to the fact that most, if not all, of them are American born and well understand the necessity of preparing themselves for a better and more useful life. As worthy as this work is, the school facilities were incapable of properly caring for it. The expenditures for all purposes were $163,622, or about $20,000 less than the year before. To keep within the available mount the school term was reduced ve days and each teacher was required to take charge of a larger number of pupils, thus minimizing the efforts of the teachers to accomplish the desired results. Vocational Studies Popular. The classes in vocational subjects showed an increase of 20 per cent over the previous year and 50 per cent over 1910. The classes in elec- tric which enrolled about 300 dur- school year of 1909-10, showed enrollment of 481 in 1911 and 751 the year just closed. Classes in commercial subjects, that is, book- booking, stenography and typewriting and special business courses, which showed an enrollment during 1909-10 of about 2,300, were increased in 1910-11 to 2,972 and in 1912 to 3,649. The total number who pursued degrees of study, having some vocational significance, was 10,398.

If a room where you are compelled to work, sleep or live is dusty, dirty, overheated, poorly ventilated, damp or crowded, it is dangerous. These disease-producing conditions may be remedied without much trouble or expense. Soap, water and "elbow grease" will remove dust and dirt; opening windows a little at the top and bottom will give you the fresh air, and an appeal to the Sanitary bureau of the Department of Health will help you to have the dampness—usually due to defective drainage—corrected, and you will have the conditions that make for both health and comfort. O, yes, another word about dust. Never sweep a room with a broom that raises dust. Don't have the old fashioned, discarded, tacked-down carpets. Use rugs that can be taken up and are easily cleaned out of doors. In dusting woodwork and furniture never use a feather duster; use instead a dampened cloth that will take up the dust without flirting it all over the rooms. Never sweep a room with the windows closed. Remember that room dust is always dangerous. A dust-inden air is always dangerous. Outdoor air, street air that is full of dust is bad air for any one to breathe. Even dust that is free from disease germs is not good for the lungs. In many kinds of industries the dust is very harmful to those who are compelled to breathe it. This is particularly true in such trades as stone cutting, metal grinding and polishing, cigar making, etc., but in most of these trades there are protective devices that are required by law to be used that greatly lessen the dangers from dust. In the home, however, the dust may be more dangerous than that in most work shops and there is no law compelling the use of protective devices of any kind. The one protection is to be found in the intelligence and care exercised by those who have the care of the home. Never allow the air in your living rooms to become stale or foul. If the weather is too cold to have a window open a little all the time, a good plan is to open up the house several times a day for a few minutes, or long enough to blow out all the bad, foul air and make everything sweet and clean. It will be found, however, that by keeping one window open just a little all the time the air may be kept pure and fresh without increasing the coal bills and without producing discomfort. NOTED G.

WRIGHT-MITCHELL NUPTIAL Ceremony Uniting Popular Couple Witnessed Only By the Relatives of the Contracting Parties. The marriage of Miss Mabel Wright, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wright of 3760 Rhodes avenue, to Melville E. Mitchell on Wednesday evening, Oct. 2, was one of the simplest though one of the most beautiful of the season. The marriage took place at the residence of the bride's parents in the presence of the families of the bride and groom only. The bride's gown was crepe meteor trimmed in duchess lace and pearl ornaments, tulle veil and she carried a bouquet shower of bridal roses and lilies of the valley. The maid of honor, Miss Ada Lou Mitchell, wore pink embroidered veil, trimmed in point de spirt; she carried Killarney roses. David Burris was best man. Rev. Massiah performed the ceremony. The house was tastefully decorated with cut flowers. Their presents were very pretty as well as useful. Lee Tobin was master of ceremonies. The bride and groom left the city Wednesday night for Marquette, Mich., for a few days' stay as the guests of Mrs. H. F. Claven. Early Welfare Work The "sick fund" among factory employees was known as far back as the first quarter of the nineteenth century, a manufacturing company at Dover having established it for the benefit of employees. A hospital for factory operatiles was established in Lowell in 1839. The charges were $4 a week for the men and $3 for the women. If they were not able to pay, the employing corporation became responsible. Self-Sacrifice. "Do man dat reaches for b do biggest of everything," said Philologist Sam, "allus gets left."

DING BELLS. He Investigates and Finds That Cupid Tried to Foll Him. As the Defender reporter was walking east on 47th street last Tuesday afternoon, bemoaning the absence of a pair of rubber boots and an umbrella, it seemed as though wedding-bells were singing in his ears. Being a settled married man, he at once realized that they must have been singing for someone else. He turned therefore into the first doorway, which happened to be No. 31 E. 47th street and entered the vestibule just in time to hear the minister say "Miss Lewis I sincerely wish you a prosperous and happy married life." Bursting into the room our reporter discovered Miss Beatrice Ruth Lee, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm C. Lee, and Mr. George W. Lewis in each other's embrace. The devotion of this couple has been noticeable for some time, but they "stole a march" on their friends. Mr. Lewis is in the employee of the vice-president of the Rock Island road and is well liked by the officials. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis will be at home to their friends on and after Oct. 27 at 452 E. 37th street, after a trip through Iowa and other middle west states. Health HInt.
