City Council Tries to Close Cafe. Monday night the city council in aectacular meeting adopted a resolution instructing the Mayor to make restitution of the conduct of the ampion's cafe and if any infractions could be found promptly revoke his sense. When interviewed the next by the mayor said: "My position since the resolution was passed is exactly the same as it was before. Four-flush resolutions by city councils are not a good basis for official action. The council will pass resolutions on most anything so long as it is popular." Lucille Cameron, the woman in the case, in the meantime was locked in the suburban residence of the deputy sheriff. Her mother was reported as hysterical and upon the verge of insanity and under the care of physicians. And so things went on until Wednesday night when, at the instigation of Attorney Beauregard F. Moseley, the champion and representative Negro, to the number of 100 met at the Appomattox club for a conference. The result was the adoption of 'resolutions that asked the public not to hold the race guilty or responsible for the charges made against an individual of said race. (Resolutions are printed in full elsewhere in this issue.) Attorney Moseley presided and explained the object of the meeting. Mr. Johnson was informed that he was to be given the opportunity to answer the charges made against him. "Yes, I should like to do that," he answered. "First I want to say that "Yes, I should like to do that, 'ne answered.

"So long as I do not interfere with any other man's wife I shall claim the right to select the woman of my own choice. Nobody else can do that for me. That is where the whole trouble lies." The Other Speakers. The pugilist had some strong remarks to make concerning the minister who denounced him from the pupit a week ago. "I have been no hypocrite," he said. "I have told the truth about my affairs, and I know that my character will bear inspection probably a little more favorably than that of the man who denounced me when, if he had been sincere, he would have called on me and tried to save me." The other speakers for the occasion were Rev. D. P. Roberts, M. D., pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church; Hon. Edward H. Wright, George C. Hall, Mr. J. A. Scott, assistant state's attorney; Major John R. Lynch, U.S.A., retired; Hon. George W. Ellis and Attorney Beaureard G. Moseley. Following the meeting, in response to a request from the Chicago Defender, Rev. D. P. Roberts and Rev. W. D.

CHICAGO, ILL.. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1912. HOKE SMITH ON ANOTHER RAMPAGE United States Senator from Georgia Belittles the Educated Negro and Does Not Want Him in the South. "Chronic" (Hoke Smith) has run amuck again. This time the fire-acting United States Senator (voters will please observe) from Georgia talks as follows. His statement was carefully prepared and his knowledge of the English language is without fault. Here is his statement: "The uneducated Negro is a good Negro; he is contented to occupy the natural status of his race, the position of inferiority. The educated and intelligent Negro, who wants to vote, is a disturbing and threatening influence. We don't want him down here; let him go North. I favor, and if elected will urge with all my power, the elimination of the Negro from politics." Shall we say more? No! Remember "Hoke" and his kind when you go to the polls on election day. That's the doctrine of the South and ever will be. Don't forget it. If you don't vote right this time you will never have the chance again. What did Hoke Smith or his kind ever do for the Negro? They have things their way down South and they will have them the same in Chicago "if you don't watch out." TO PRACTICE BEFORE THE' U. S. SUPREME COURT Prominent Washington Attorney_Pre *Bented Before High Triennial by (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 25—Another Negro of acknowledged competence is now entitled to practice before the bar of the nation's highest tribunal. Upon motion of Judge E. Molauxne Hewlett, Attorney Shelby James Davidson, a graduate of the Howard Law School, was recently admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. Davidson is a native of Kentucky, who came to Washington about twenty years ago to accept a position under the federal government. In the office of the Sixth Auditor he achieved an enviable distinction as an inventor of machines that proved to be of great value to the post office department and several patents are to be awarded him by the authorities. Since his resignation from the government service, Mr. Davidson has devoted his entire time to his profession, and in a comparatively short time has risen to a foremost place at the district bar. He is a young man of fine legal attainments, and possesses business acumen that is bound to bring him fame and fortune. He is a prime factor in the Capital Consulting Company, and is also rendering effective service as financial agent of the Howard Alumni Association, which has pledged itself to raise $10,000 toward the erection of a $25,000 gymnasium on the campus of Howard University. Mr. Davidson is encouraging thrifty colored people of the capital to buy homes and has signally aided quite a number to so invest their savings as to be able to boast of living beneath their own "vine and fig tree." PROMINENT MEN ON COMMITTEE TO PRO- MOTE SERGT. CHILDS The Defender wishes to call attention to the fact that two names were omitted of the members of the committee, headed by Hon. James H. Quinn, city oil inspector, who waited on Mayor Harrison last Thursday morning on behalf of Lieut. Childa. The following is a correct list: Rev. R. A. J. Carey, Rey. H. E. Stewart, Rev. H. J.

Mrs. Josephine Green of Boston, Mass., who has been visiting her sister Mrs. Maxwell, 8634 Vernon avenue, has accepted to remain in Chicago until Nov. 3. Mrs. Green is a charming and dashing widow and the young men have made it pleasant for her. Next week her sister will entertain at whist in honor of Mrs. Green. A Hoggish Fact.

Topeka, Kans., Oct. 25.—[Special.] The John Brown cabin, near Osawatomie, Kans., is to be torn down and moved to the John Brown Memorial park in Osawatomie, where it will be re-erected exactly as it has stood for almost sixty years, on the Adair farm west of the town. Workmen are engaged now dismantling the historic cabin. The cabin is one of the few buildings that survived the raids of the pro-slavery forces. The old Reed schoolhouse, where the first night school for Negro refuges was conducted, now much changed and altered, the old Osage Valley house, where Horace Greeley organized the Republican party in Kansas in May, 1859, and the old stone (Congregational) church are the other old buildings that remain. In 1858 the Rev. S. L. Adair, then chaplain at Fort Leavenworth, obtained a patent from President Buchanan' to a claim west of Osawatomi. With the assistance of his brother-in-law, John Brown, and his sons, he hewed and hauled the oak logs and erected the cabin on his claim. This property has never passed out of the Adair family. It is now occupied by Mrs. C. S. Adair and her son, Walter. She is: the widow of Charles Adair, a son of the clergyman. It was in this cabin that the John Brown, striken with the fever, was nursed and concealed from his enemies. It was here that his son, Fredrick, was carried the morning of the day he was murdered just preceding the skirmish between the little band of settlers and Capt. Reed's band of border fighters. Here it was that old John Brown of Osawatomi had the only shelter that he could call home. Here the Adair family lived for many years until they were able to erect a more pretentious dwelling. The old cabin is still in excellent condition, firm and rugged after the storms of fifty-eight years. TRUE REFORMERS HOLD LARGE MEETING Some of the Foremost Members of the Race Met to Celebrate the 63d Anniversary of the Birth of William Washington Browne, Organizer and Founder of the True Reformers. Last Sunday evening was a great day with the True Reformers at the Ebenezer Baptist church, where fully 1,000 persons crowded in to witness the celebration of the 63d anniversary of the birth of William Washington Browne. Geo. M. Ross of the Grand Fountain, who was to arrive from Richmond, Va. to take part in the exercises, was delayed in St. Louis, Mo. on important matters and Rev. H. E. Johnson, grand chaplain, of Waukeegan was absent because of the illness of his wife. So the entire program was left in the hands of Rev. John F. Thomas, pastor of church; Rev. Daniel P. Jones, traveling agent for the Young People's Union; Mrs. Lou Ella Young, S. D. M.; M. W. Dorsely, the president of the W. A. Wallace Wholesale and Retail Bakery Company; Madame Dorsey, Mr. Thomas Crump and M. T. Bailey, chief of Chicago Division and state deputy of Illinois, all of whom spoke in high terms of the progress which the True Reformers are making at present. Rev. Thomas told of the hardships which the order had passed through and paid a tribute to those who had remained loyal, as well as to the name of W. Browne, the organizer and founder. He praised those who had given up their lives in the service of the order and asked that the members continue to stick to the order and history would record their names in the memory of men, women and children, where it had placed Browne, which would be more lasting than marble or granite. Mrs. Young read the proclamation issued by the Grand Fountain and the others who spoke and took part in the exercises made history for themselves and for the True Reformers. C. C. CARTER IS NOT A COLLECTOR FOR THE DEFENDER Several persons have been subjected to considerable annoyance by a low specimen of humanity and (more to be deplored) a member of the Negro race. C. C. Carter, the sorrowful in question, lives at 236 street and Wabash avenue, and has been collecting monies from patrons of the Chicago Defender. The rascal carries business cards representing himself as the "assistant editor." Among the collections unlawfully received by this man Carter was that from Mr. Webb, 3519 State street, of $1.60 for an advertisement. This money was never received. The Defender wishes to say that Carter is not authorized to collect monies for the Chicago Defender, but assures its patrons that the culprit will be hounded to earth and made to suffer for his crime. CHAMPION JACK JOHNSON. Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Church Accepts Plans for the $4,000 Residence. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 25—Dr. J. S. Jackson, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Zion church, has accepted a set of plans from Architect W. A. Rayfield for a handsome residence, to be erected at Birmingham, Ala., where he has decided to locate the headquarters of the financial department of the church, removing the same from Philadelphia. The change of base will bring the great substantial force of the church—the money branch, as well as the spiritual army—much nearer to the center of the church's population and save much precious time in reaching the masses of the people the energetic and resourceful secretary is so admirably serving. The transfer meets with universal approval. Dr. Jackson's new home is to be a modern structure throughout. It is to be 40 by 40 feet, with hot air heat, up-to-date plumbing, electric lighting, metal-shingle roof, and is cost $4000 to build. Experienced architects who have examined Mr. Rayfield's plans say it will be one of the finest residences in Birmingham, regardless of race—and Birmingham is a city noted for its magnificent homes. Dr. Jackson indicates his sincere faith in the ability and skill of his own professional men by having his plans drawn by a colored architect, who is recognized as one of the best in the land—a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, by the way. Not long ago Dr. Jackson further demonstrated his confidence in the financial integrity of his race by influencing the selection of the Penny Savings Bank at Birmingham, carried on by Dr. W. R. Pettiford, as the principal depository. The appointment last Thursday of Sergeant William F. Childs of the Woodlawn police station to a lieutenancy was favorably commented upon throughout the city. The rank and file of the department lauded the promotion, for Lieutenant Childs has long been considered one of the most efficient police officials. Color has been no bar; efficient police work has been the been that counted. As Sergeant Childs he has headed the civil service list for promotion for some time. Mr. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette and ex-member of the Ohio Legislature, says in a letter to the Chicago Defender: "Cleveland has had an Afro-American lieutenant of police for nearly five years. Glad to know of Sergeant Childs' promotion." The Chicago Defender takes off its hat to Cleveland, but it wonders why the Gazette has not told this fact before. of the funds of the A. M. E. church. It goes without saying that Dr. Jackson's new home and the headquarters of the financial department of the A. M. E. Zion church will be valued additions to the many "show places" of Alabama's thriving metropolis. There seems to be a difference between putting your soul into a thing and putting your foot in it.

Alfred Anderson, the noted composer and lyric writer, has returned to the city after an absence of several weeks. His first visit was to New York City, where he was wined and dined by the cream of Gotham society. His next stop was at Boston, where the society people of the Hub city entertained him in great fashion. In Washington and Cincinnati the social leaders vied with each other to make his stay pleasant. His last stop was at St. Louis, Mo., where he was the guest of his brother, who is a successful dentist of that city. Many social affairs were tendered him while in the Mound City. At every point the author of "If I Forget" was given a generous ovation, including whist parties, dances and stags.

Wendell Phillips High School Filled to Its Capacity—Splendid Musical Program Rendered — "Industrial Status of Negro," Prof. Pickens' Subject—Oration Splendidly Handled—Hotels and Hospitals Cognate of "Hospitality." Prof. William Pickens, the noted orator of Tallahassee, Aha., was the guest of honor of Provident hospital, Chicago, Ill., at the graduating exercises of the 1912 class of five nurses. The Wendell Phillips High School auditorium was filled on Friday evening, Oct. 25, with representative men and women of both races. Prof. Pickens spoke in a most eloquent and convincing manner of the "industrial status of the Negro." Quoting from Prof. Pickens: "Hotels and hospitals are cogate with 'hospitality.' In civilization of the lower order we hear of infanticide and the killing of the old to benefit the strong. Now hospitals are erected all-over for infants, the old and infirm. A well conducted hospital exemplifies the better spirit of civilization. Provident hospital is manifesting this noble modern Christian spirit in two ways: First, in caring for the needy of its own neighborhood, and, second, in pointing a way of life to the most neglected member of a neglected group of American citizens. Another lesson learned from the hospital is that the smallest things are not to be despised and that no sort of knowledge is contemptible; a speck may mean life or death." Many splendid remarks were made by Prof. Pickens which but substantiated our own pride and belief in the superiority of our Provident hospital nurses and graduates.

BABIES DON'T LIKE BOTTLED MILK Nature Provided Proper Nourishment for Infants—Substitution of the Bottle Increases Mortality. Press Service, Department of Health. Dr. William H. Davis of Boston gives the following interesting facts and figures on the comparative mortality of bottle-fed and breast-fed babies. The doctor tells us that during the siege of Paris, in 1870-71 when the milk supply of that city failed, the mothers were compelled to nurse their babies; as a result the baby death-rate fell from 330 to 170 per 1,000 births. Also, in England during the Lancashire cotton famine when the mothers remained at home and nursed their babies there resulted a still greater saving of infant life. And so throughout the civilized world wherever a large percentage of the mothers nurse their babies the baby death-rate is low. Norway and Sweden are notable examples with low baby death-rates respectively of 74 and 85 per 1,000 births. Investigations made by the Boston Department of Health show that 74 per cent of the infant deaths above the age of two weeks in that city were among bottle-fed babies. Also these figures showed that the bottle fed infant over two weeks old is six times as likely to die as is the breast-fed infant. Dr. W. G. Ebersole of Cleveland, in a paper read before the recent International Congress on Hygiene and Demography at Washington, D.C, declared that the mouth was the most neglected and ill-kept organ of the human body. He asserted that the neglected and ill-used human mouth was responsible for more ill-health and loss in working efficiency than any other organ or all other organs of the body put together. As an advocate of the teaching of oral hygiene in the public schools he urged the importance of teaching the children the proper care and use of the human "grinding machine"—the mouth—as being the best sort of prevention of many of the diseases and ailments peculiar to child life. In view of the fact that medical examinations of school children show that fully 97 per cent with diseased or defective mouths, there is no denying the importance of teaching our children how to care for their teeth and to keep their mouths clean.

They print the operation as remarkable, yet to the doctors of the Pennsylvania hospital the credit of such a remarkable operation does not belong. Said credit belongs to our own great surgeon, Daniel H. Williams, M. D., of this city, who nineteen years ago on Aug. 2, 1893, performed an operation on the heart of James Cornish, an expressman, age twenty-four, who had been stabbed during an altercation. The kind of knife and length of the blade could not be determined from the patient. On July 9, 1893, he was admitted to the Provident hospital, then located at the corner of 29th and Dearborn street, and which was founded by Dr. Williams a year before. The wound in the heart was found to be one-tenth of an inch in length. The wound was in the pericardium (the membranous sac that incloses the heart) about one and one-quarter --- No Chance for Him.

We are glad to see you, Tommy. If you excuse our persiflage: You used to be a character But you are now a personage. We smell moth mails. Jack Johnson has a new bar at his cafe—noot bar. It seems that the white hopes have taken, hope again. Ch, yes, that weather is here. Uncle, hand me my vercoat. Gov. Charles Denison and our old friend, Ed D. Green are sure winners. Let the vice crusaders enter the high places and clean them out. An exchange asks: "After the election, what?" The rent bill, just as usual. Charlie Johnson, Jack's brother, is to be a practitioner in Christian Science, it is said. Pages for defense of Miss Cameron, but not one column for tribute to little Mattie McFarren. Where are our woman's clubs? Are the going to let this young woman's case go by default? Andre Russel looks good to The Defender. He will be on The Defender's all-candidate ticket. Chicago is the only city in the world that use a child as lieutenant of police. Chicago knows how to do things. Ada Banks' husband thinks since every one has his finger in the pie, he might as well get some of Jack's money, too. Had the levee been let alone perhaps Miss Cameron, would have been leading society yet and our champion eras would not have been on the rills. Miss McPauwen is only 17 years old, who was wronged by one of the book County Hospital attendants, as who is his brother, was help up to big head as an inn Miss Cameron (white) was who is as wise as any woman. She is 19 years old and is of the age of consent. The Defender thanks skayer Harrison and the James Quinn or Lieut. Childs. We are not averse to taking our hats out to the bridge that carries us over. The white hops came near fixing Jack Johnson; but if Jack can whip all the hops that are coming up now, even the newspapers, he is certainly a bird. The Southern white gentleman is the Negro's best friend. He puts his arms about the neck of the women, and a rope about the necks of the men. Good, eh! While we do not agree with Bishop Walters, we have mistrust confidence in his sincerity. There is a considerable in a man thinking he is right, and every expression and every act of Bishop Walters bespeaks his belief in the cause he is advocating. We are glad to see Col. James Lewis of New Orleans in the city again. The Colonel is visiting Col. Marshall and is accompanied by his delightful daughter, Miss Josephine. The Colonel has the remnants of the friends of three generations and his friends are legion among the present and rising leaders of the city. He and is one of the most entertaining reuctions that come to Chicago. The Hon. J. Madison Vance, whom his friends affectionately call "the Judge," is making a successful tour of Michigan cities in the interest of Taft and the Republic.n party. He has spoken at Lansing, Ann Arbor and Detroit and will visit Indiana, with his arm will speak tonight (Saturday), ar. Vance is meeting with fine receptions everywhere, and is receiving highly commendatory notices from the press. Mr. Roscoe Cookling Simmons, staff correspondent of "The New York Tribune," is yet in the city, and occasionally picks out a fine political story that he has written. His last contribution was published last Monday in the "Tribune's" issue of that day, and bore on the conditions in politics from a colored man's point of view. As a newspaper man and a politician, English Mr. Simmons is a suil generals. L'ACCUSE! Since the Defender made its advent as an aspirant for public favor, we have striven to be conservative in our editorial expression and consistent in our parts of speech. We have refrained from intemperate talk and from insensitive remarks in the zone of commonplace. Our aim has been, and is, to defend the rights of the Negro whensoever they are right rights, and to aid, abet and record his advancement by the pursuit of the line of least resistance. We believe that the Negro in Chicago and the entertain an abiding consideration of the rights and means of maintaining the intense cordiale between his race and the whites; but when we are brought face to face with the malicious, mendacious and preconcerted attempt of the press of this city to precipitate race strife the personality of a Negro pugilat, the speaker of a peek and to speak in no mistaken terms. The mischievous manner in which the Chicago press has and is exploiting the Jack Johnson episode is not only a disgrace to the entire journalistic profession, but a crying sin against the community. It has the effect to infiltrate the feel of the masses of the white race against the Negro, who is having hard enough time as it is. If Jack Johnson has committed the crimes charged to him, he should pay the penalty, but even the more misdemeaned compared with the white ones does the press is committing against the peace of the city. We had hoped not to be called upon to discuss the merits of this unfortunate controversy, because we have never deemed to arrogate to ourselves the functions of judge and jury as the white press is now doing. However, thing of arriving, trying, convicting, through the columns of a yellow journal has grown to be a menace to the perpetuity of American institutions and the Bill of Rights. It breeds mobs, fosters prejudice and throttles justice. Jack Johnson may be guilty of the violation of the Mann Act, but why should not the public be permitted to wait until the courts decide the question? Thanks to the activity of the press, he is slated for trial by every judge. The throne of God, and in the course of this litigation, it is pre-supposed that the truth will be forthcoming and justice will be done. Why not wait? What is the use of having courts if inflamed, yellow-eyed newspapers, ground out by prejudice, are to be allowed to forestall their functions. Johnson has been denied the right of rebuttal to any and all of the charges made against him. He says that none of the miserable expressions he has made against him. He claims that the right to say so has been denied by the press that is accusing, trying and condemning him unheard. We are prone to believe that he is right. Surely, he is no worse than the balance of prize fighters. Is Jim Fierries, whose mistaken physical prowess, backed by race prejudice, put the money in Johnson's pocket, any better than Jack or is Kid Mcoy, Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Corbett, or any of the worthies who follow the avocation, which Americans inwardly admire and outwardly condemn, any more puritanical in their morality than Jack? If this odorous incident had been uncovered concerning them, as similar cases repeatedly have, wouldn't the sticks per diom have been three sticks per diom instead of three columns? Aren't they a little blue-bellied because a Negro took the miserable championship out of the white race? Isn't this Miss Cameron around whose head the press is entwining a halo of purity, really a promising product of a decadent condition, which is white press has long pitied, whinced at as a sword, endures, and embru- enced? EH "UNTO THE LEAST OF THESE!" Let us pause for a moment and observe the fate of little Mattle McFarren, a poor, stranded Negro child from the Southland, whose sad story is now slipping into the back way of the papers. Mattle is seventeen years of age, and is afflicted with consumption, from which her parents recently died in Chicago. Being without friends or home, or means of support, she was forced to appeal to the public authority of Cook County porchouse, where it would be naturally supposed she would be permitted to die in peace. But lust is not confined to any particular race, as recent newspaper articles would have you think; it invades the heart of the white man even as it does the heart of the Negro. Poor little Mattle McFarren, far from the soil of her nativity, longing no doubt for the blessing blossom dosd, drifting with the days of the day, with the protection of the arm of the law, surrounded by petticated philanthropists, who snatch brands from the burning and rescue white girls from the curse of inter-racial contamination, this little innocent Negro child was violated by one of the attendants, and in her dying condition is about to be bound to death. We are told by our pharisical and virtuous daily presp (in congested paragraphs, owing to the space consumption of the Jack Johnson incident) how one of the attendants is guilty of this child's condition, but his name is withheld. The story runs that an effort was made to deport the child to her home south in order that some might be sent to be sent back to die, reskinned in the shame with which her protector had saturated her. What a horrible fate for a child, even though she should be a Negro child! True, there was no "queenly beauty" there; no "fashing eyes and tempered spirit." True, the ravages of disease would soon leave only a memory of the outrage, but in a Christian community, where the church bells chime, where the spirit of Christ in love and pity spreads on and over it like "the dew doth the morning," where the Christian heart thrubs with repugnance at the misceure of a Negro pugilist and a white girl, one heathen heathen of the Mastas ter as He says: "Even we have done it unto the least of these. My children, you have done it also unto Me." From Our Exchanges NEGRO CAPTAIN IN FRENCH NAVY. Paris, Oct. 18.—Lieutenant Mortenol, a Negro, who is a native of a pocho has just been promoted captain in the French army. There are several Chinese officers in the French army, but Capt. Mortenol is the first Negro to attain the high rank in the navy. It is noteworthy that one of the most famous officers in the French Army Aviation Corps is Lieut.

Philadelphia, Oct. 6.—Experiments with human blood conducted by Prof. Reichert, of the University of Pennsylvania, are interesting his fellow scientists. The professor says he has been able to learn from a drop of blood whether it is that of a white or a colored person, whether a male or a female, and approximately the age of the subject from which the specimen has been taken. All of this has been brought about by the use of photography, by which the microscopic particles of blood can be studied with a preset camera. The blood the corpuscles are about 1-3000 of an inch long.—The Guardian. NEGRO INVENTORS. Washington, D. C., Oct. 15—Fred M. Johnson, Negro globe trotter, who fought at San Juan Hill, has invented a belt feed rifle that, it is asserted, will fire three hundred shots without stopping at the rate of twenty shots a second. Johnson says he has received word from the War Department that he ordered one of the wonders of the age, and that it soon will receive a trial. The Johnson gun is used much like an ordinary rifle, being about the same weight and length, but instead of the regular stock, the rifle is equipped with a brace which fastens to both shoulders, bringing the barrel to a level with the eye. A small crank fitted to the side of the rifle, the butt of the cartridges are carried to the chamber, discharged and the shells ejected simply by turning the crank. Johnson is now a resident of Cleveland, O. John H. Ceboll, 832 Camp street, Indianapolis, Ind., through his attorney here, Wm. L. Housen, has been granted a patent by the Patent Office on his invention of a non-puncturable tire for automobiles.

The invention will be a boon to automobile owners, and ought to prove a fortune for the inventor.—The New York Age.

Well, it may not, but it can get awful sick. * * * Street Loiterer—I had a better job last year than I have this year. Friend—What were you doing last year? Street Loiterer—Nothing. * * * Did you have much trouble getting your divorce, Mr. Downing? Mr. Downing—Yes, but it was a pleasure, compared with my domestic trouble! Did you have a good time at the dance? No; I had too many corns. There is one pleasing thing to be deduced from a review of the figures showing the fire loss in the United States and Canada for the current year, and that is that, while not by any means small they have shown a tendency toward diminution since the beginning of the year. The amount for August was $14,138,000—the smallest for any month of the present year. For the first eight months of 1912 the fire loss aggregated $163,250,650, which was approximately four million dollars less than for the corresponding period of last year, though sixteen millions in excess of that for the first eight months of 1910. --- A woman factory inspector has been appointed in New York, one of whose principal duties will be to see that smoking and carrying matches where inflammable material is used are practices to be stopped. It needs only a shuddering memory of the factory fire in which so many girls met a horrible death, and which was supposed to have been caused by a carless smoker, to see why a woman is peculiarly fitted for such a duty and why that duty itself is imperative. It should be so everywhere. "What is a herring? now constitutes a government problem at Washington," remarks the Boston Transcript, and it adds, "Why not to reach the result by a process of elimination? To begin with, a herring is not a sardine." We beg to call attention of the Transcript to the fact that while this may be true a canned sardine is sometimes a herring. According to a veteran English theatrical manager, a modern chorus girl must be gifted with a lovely face, a graceful form, charming manners, excellence in singing and dancing, and no fear of hard work. But the veteran English theatrical manager quite overlocks an angel. A local court Solomon in Wilmington desired that the Constitution does not make loafing a crime. Perhaps the next local light where the question is raised will pronounce the Constitution authorizes it as one of the individual means of the pursuit of happiness. A young man who was riding in one of New York's subway trains made such a fuss when his nose was tickled by plumes worn by a woman that he was find $10. Aren't men coarse, unreasonable things? In future prudent midnight burglaries will not walk over their sleeping victims. One who took this unusual promenade was caught by his boot tracks on the pillows. There is no desk room for forty-two new congressmen in the house of representatives. But during the baseball season, the floor won't be overcrowded. The queen of Spain has a solid silver telephone with her cont-tarms upon it. But it isn't a bit better than any old thing when the line's busy. Indiana reports an aeroplane wrecked by collision with a cow. This must have been the cow that jumped ever the moon. The doctors are inventing a serum which will prevent measles. Another conspiracy to deprive childhood of its legitimate holidays. Czar Nicholas fears that he will meet with a violent death. Why doesn't he get in aeroplane and end the suspense? Term for Year Ending May 30, 1912, Shows Marked Increase—Individual Donations for Past Year Agreably Larger—Thirty-four States and Nineteen Foreign Countries Repres- nented in School. --- Tukkeegue, Ala., Oct. 25—Dr. Booker T. Washington's annual report to the trustees for the year ending May 30, 1912, reads in part as follows: To the Trustees of the Tukkeegue Normal and Industrial Institute: Gentleman. The number of students in attendance during the past year increased, but, as compared with last year, the increase has increased. This is true because are pursuing the policy suggested by the Board of Trustees of not enlarging our numbers. Instead of increasing the number of students, we are trying to secure the most promising grade of students and to round out and perfect all departments of our work and secure a more uniform and regular attendance of students. This means when compared to refuse admission during year, we dredges of students, in many cases not because they were not worthy, but because of lack of room and means and for the reasons already stated. The Enrollment for the Year. The attendance for the year has been 1,067 young men and 578 young women. They have come from 34 states and 19 foreign countries, or colonies of such foreign countries. Fewer have entered late and left before the close of the year than has been the case heretofore. In connection with the academic and early teaching, practical and theoretical training, for forty trades or industries, farming and its various branches being the one most emphasized. Every industry which is taught is one in which our students have no trouble in finding employment at as soon as they leave us. In fact, our main difficulty is in our inability evenly to supply the demand for our young men and women. We have to construct as equals them to become effective teachers in literary branches as well as in the industries. Reference has often been made in my reports to the fact that the work of the Tuskegee Institute could by no means be measured by the standard of an ordinary institution of learning. The Tuskegee Institute, out of which Tuskegee is a kind of experiment station in education. Through such organizations as the Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference, the National Negro Business League, the Macon County Fair, the management of the Negro Department of the Alabama Agricultural Fair, a two week summer school on organization and supervision of Farmers' Improvement Clubs, Boys' Corn Clubs, monthly County Farmers' Institute, the publication of a farmers' newspaper, The Messenger, the Mothers' Club, the work of rural health literature, the institution of health literature, a Ministers' Institute, a Summer School for Teachers, and other forms of extension-work we are reaching and helping thousands of people each year. The School's Widespread Influence. More and more each year the institution is being visited by persons from all parts of the world who wish to attend. In April there was held on our grounds an International Conference on the Negro. The Conference brought to us representatives from eighteen foreign countries on colonies of the same, who spent three days studying the history of the purpose of helping dark-skinned races in various parts of the world. As a part of our extension work, we have been encouraging various state and national organizations to hold their annual meetings on our grounds, especially during the summer, and to use the unused space in our buildings. During the past twelve months, and during the present summer, the following are some of the organizations that have met or are to meet at the Tuskegee Institute: African Methodist, Episcopal Zion Conference, Alabama State University, University of Alabama, University School Congress, Grand Lodge of Colored Masons of Alabama, Grand United Order of Fellows, National Medical Association. While most of these organizations pay something toward the expenses of their entertainment, they all cost the school money and do not cost our operating expenses. Notwithstanding this felt that in a broad, educational sense it is worth while to have the leading and most influential men and women see what we are doing and get the general atmosphere and methods of the school. It is good education to have our people see well-kept buildings and clean, attractive school ground. Financial. I am glad to say that the number of individual donors to the school has increased within the past twelve months. While the aggregate amount is not as large, it is important, in my opinion, to increase every year the number of individual small donors. We have received during the year from all sources $205,178.88 for operative donations and $10,000 for legacies (to be used at the discretion of the Trustees), $26,355.21; for special donations and improvements of the plant, $33,344.23, of which $22,622.95 is still unexpended. The total amount added to the Endowment Fund during the year has been $28,560.50, making our Endowment Fund at the present time $1,859.01.08. The value of the plant at Tuskegee is now $1,362,601.24; the present value of the plant at Tuskegee is $1,362,601.24; by special act of Congress in 1909, age and remaining unsold, is about $250,000, making a total valuation of the personal property, lands, buildings and securities in the possession of our trustees, $3,606,285.47.

She visited Paris, Berne, Luzerne, Florence, Rome, Innsbruck, Venice, Munich, Berlin, Heldeberg, London, Liverpool, and The Hague. Mounted photographs, arranged around the room, were used to illustrate the talk and souvenirs were distributed. A mercerist, who appeared by G. Smith, was also invited to join the talk. The affair was held at the home of Miss Shadd and was in every way enjoyable. The Catholic Societies of the Holy Name had a monster parade last Sunday. The ceremony is an annual event and is held as a protest against profanity, or the improper use of the "Holy Name." In the line were over 1,500 colored men and boys, 500 of whom came from Baltimore. They had five bands and, neatly attired, the aggregation presented a most creditable appearance. They were assigned about the middle of the long parade, not at the tall end. This is in happy contrast with the action of the World's Sunday School demonstration here a year or so ago, when Negro Christians were refused permission to have any part in their parade. The Catholics can give the average Caucasian Protestant a few significant "pointers" on the righteous method of handling the race problem. Dr. W. C. Woodward, health officer of the District of Columbia, in an address before the International Congress on Hygiene and Demography, made the encouraging statement that, although the death rate among Negroes is higher than it ought to be, the death rates among our people is decreasing more rapidly than are more of the whites. He said the Negroes are demarcated by suburcultural con附伦ism and unsanitary housing, just as are the whites, but held that the real reason for the death ratio among Negroes was that the Negroes are practically a foreign race of people. Says he: "They are reared in a tropical climate, under primitive conditions, and the race has not yet become used to the hardships of white civilization." John Vesley A. M. E.

By D. W. Johnson. --- The population of the Negroes of the United States is increasing every year and instead of a political question the situation is fast becoming an economic question. In the South, where barbarismism and an antiquated aristocracy exists, it is not so hard for Negroes to find employment, even though the wages are small. But in the North, where everybody has to battle for an existence, the competition is extremely keen, and many good places where Negroes have formerly held sway, they are now being crowded out by white competitors. Where is the Once Popular Butter? Many years ago all rough work, such as teaming and expressing, was done by Negroes. Other lines, as butler, janitor, porter, waiter and bellboy, were almost wholly in the hands of colored men. But the situation now has radically changed. Most all of, these places are now filled by white men. There are only two positions—hotel waiter and Pullman porter—of which colored men can boast to any extent. The latter they seem to be holding fairly well, but the former seems to be slowly and steadily slipping away from them. W. Forest Cozart Tells the Reason. 1 During the last year there was considerable discussion as to the passing of the colored waiters and bellboys from many of the leading hotels of the country. W. Forest Cozart, one of the best known colored waiters in the United States and the author of the "Walters' Manual," gave several reasons as to why the colored waiters are being displaced. "Race prejudice, the influx of foreigners, lack of competent head waiters and the tendency of colored waiters to make waiting a temporary vocation in which there is little effort to perfect themselves." These are vital questions. Little Remedy for the Present. For a part of them, at present, there is little remedy, but for the latter part there is an abundance of remedy. There is no reason that respect and dignity should not be added to any position no matter how menial. The lowest position should be executed with as much interest and intelligence as the highest. No one cares to pay for work carelessly and slovenly done. Every position in this progressive age demands intelligence and skill, tidiness and a manifestation of interest. In New York City, recently, there was a strike of the white waiters. The managers imported colored waiters and paid them from three to five dollars a day. After the strike was settled many of them were offered permanent positions at a normal salary, but they refused, preferring to go to summer resorts. There is only one way to accomplish anything—that is by sticking to it. Many good places have been lost by colored men throughout the North because they did not appreciate them and give them the proper attention. Football Condemned Football has always had its enemies. In "The Anatomie of Abuses," published in 1583, the game is houndly abused. Its author describes football as "a bloodle and murdering practice." "For doth not everyone lye in waite for his adversarie," he argues, "seeking to overthrow him or to pickle him on his nose, though it be upon hard stones? in ditch or dale, in valley or hill, or what place souer it be, he careth not, so he have him down?" Cake Twenty-Five Years Old A veteran baker of Quincy, Mass., had a unique experience shortly before retiring from business a short time ago.

Making Others Happy If the individual should set out for a single day to give happiness, make life happier, brighter and sweeter, not for himself, but for others, he would find a wondrous revolution of what happiness really is. The greatest of the world's heroes cannot by any series of acts of heroism do as much real good as any individual living his whole life in seeking from day to day to make others happy.—William George Jordan. Must Have Been In Boston Must have been in Boston. The mother of a priggish little lady of seven inquired what alled him, drawing her deductions as to some trouble, mental or physical, from his heavy frown. "Nothing ails me, mamma," said the child, slowly. "What makes you ask me? Do you think that every time my brow is wrinkled I have something on my mind?" The Ginger Man. Sometimes the weather puts ginger into some men. Then there is a kind of man that all the time puts ginger into everybody around him. Nobody in this old world is more useful to it than the chap who gives his fellow men shots of ginger in all kinds of weather. Not Much Difference "Do you act towards your wife as you did before you married her?" "Exactly. I remember just how I used to act when I first fell in love with her. I used to hang over the house and gaze at her shadow on the floor, afraid to go in. And I act just the same way now when I get late." Admiral Hawke's Ambition When Admiral Hawke was a boy, about to go to sea for the first time, his father gave him much good advice, ending up with the words, "I hope to live to see you a captain." "A captain!" answered the boy; "If I did not think I should one day be an admiral I would not go to sea at all." Reduced States "Comin' this way again?" asked the justice of the peace after he had fined Jimpson $50. "I'm afraid I'll have to," said Jimpson, ruefully.

All the Material for Really Excellent Experience With Spirits Seemed to Be There Until the Touch of Materialism Developed. Doctor Walsh, lecturer and nerve specialist, tells the following story in one of his series of talks on ghosts, dreams, premonitions. After this tale it will be unnecessary, to say that the doctor has never seen a ghost himself. An old clergyman dwelling alone with his housekeeper and her sister in a rather lonely part of a little country town was awakened late one night by a loud ring at his front doorbell. In a moment the priest was out of bed and preparing to go on what he expected was a sick call summons. Again very shortly came another ring at the bell. Surprised that the housekeeper, who slept on the ground floor, had not answered the door he went out into the hall and down the stairs. There standing at the open door was the housekeeper and her sister looking out into empty space. The two astonished women turned to him. "There is no one there, father!" they exclaimed. "When it rang 'first I went to the door and found no one,' went on the elder, "then when it rang again we were both near the door and opened it immediately and there was nothing around." As they were speaking the bell rang again and the women in alarm clung to each other. Boldly the priest opened the door—still no one in sight. It was a clear starlight night and the house stood in an empty space. Very cautiously he explored every portion of the grounds, plaza and house, but not even a footprint could he find. As he was entering the door after his search the bell rang again, and as he was in full view of the bell he was forced to admit that no visible human agency rang it. He had great difficulty calming the frightened women and returned to his room in a puzzled frame of mind. Just before getting into bed he glanced at his watch and saw that it was 2 o'clock. The next day he learned with great sorrow and also with some uneasiness that the vicar of the neighboring town, who was a lifelong friend of his and of whose illness he had not heard, had died at 2 o'clock the night before. After that no mysterious doorbell ringings were heard until the night of the day of the vicar's funeral. Wearied out with grief and the funeral, the old priest had retired early and was sleeping soundly when he was awakened by knocks at his door and the voice of his fightered housekeeper. "Father! Father!" she was crying. "Didn't you hear the doorbell ring? We've gone to the door and there's no one there! The house must be haunted. Tomorrow the first thing in the morning we will leave." Cutting still the woman's crying came another ring at the bell. Quickly the priest was up and down stairs, looking at his watch on the way down. It was 2 o'clock. As he opened the door clear and shrill the bell changed out again. "So the bell rings itself, does it?" he mused after a good look around. "Well, then, the trouble must be in the bell." Late as it was he went to work prying the bell from the door and found—the ghost! A family of mice had built a snug little nest for themselves there and their entrances and exits had been the cause of the bell's ringing. The late hours they kept was no doubt due to the natural timidity. Good Word for Corsets It is not often that a doctor has much to say in favor of the corset, but two Berlin medical men, Professor Felix Hirfeld and Adolf Loewy, have just come forward in championship of that soley abused garment. True, their advocacy is of limited and qualified character, but so far as goes it is quite wholehearted, for they have satisfied themselves that for a certain type of physique that is especially prone to consumption the use of corsets may act as a preventive of that disease. The structure in question is described as "paralytic thorax," the specific characteristics of which appear to be length and flatness of the chest. The two investigators carried out exhaustive experiments on the respirations of persons of this class, simultaneously following the movements of the diaphragm by means of Roentgen rays. The result they arrived at was that whereas the corset diminished the depth it increased the frequency of their patient's breathing, so that the total amount of air taken into the lungs within a given time remained the same. Effect of Paint on Corrosion of iron. According to the rather surprising results obtained by two German chemists, M. Liebreich and L. Spitzer, who were experimenting with paint as a preventive of the co-rosion of iron, it seems that one coat of good paint or varnish is much superior to two or more coats. In their experiments a second coat proved absolutely detrimental. The experiments consisted in painting well polished steel bars with one or more coats and suspending the bars over boiling water for four days. Half of the coating was then removed and the bared metal well covered with vaseline to prevent oxidation. In each case where only one coat of paint had been applied the bars remained as brilliant and rust free as before the test, but in the case of two or more coats, corrosion had taken place. The investigators will not commit themselves as to the explanation of this, but it may be that a coating of several layers provides a less flexible cover, more liable to crack, thus allowing oxidizing agents to penetrate to the metal surface.

It is habit alone that creates obedience in the child, and for the child, and if it is not formed early, nothing but hard, bitter "warfare" can ever promote it in its being.

Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church The subject of last Sunday's sermon was, "How to Get Strength." Text: Deuteronomy 32:11—"As an eagle stirrth up her nest, that fluttereth over her young. He spread above His wings, he took them, he bear them on his back for tomorrow, Sunday, Oct. 27, is "He Got Away." Last Sunday the pastor spoke, in part, as follows: "The ancient Hebrews had a poetic nature and turn of mind. We of today, and especially the peoples of the so-called western world, care less for imagination and more for reason; we want logical proof of every step of the way. From one extreme then to the other, moves the great pendulum of time in its periodic oscillations. "The meaning of our text is that strength is gained by struggle; that so far as human life is concerned, God arranges the struggle shall be internal and partisan, eagle estright up her nest, so the Lord disciplines his children to the end that they may become strong. "In my mind's eye I see a young man of our race in process of training for the perpetual and final contest of life. He is trying his wings, REV. EUGENE C. LAWRENCE. but hasn't quite the strength and self-confidence to launch out. Like the young birds, he rests serenely upon the help of mother, father, or friend. This, it seems to me, is the point where we see a marked difference between the average young man of our race and the white race. Oh, but, say some, there are good reasons for a difference between the two. But it seems to me we have made excuses for our failures and short-comings long enough, and that it is time that we were learning to fly and to learn the necessity of individual resourcefulness and self-reliance. I have seen many instances in which the hand of God, unmistakably seen, created such conditions as made necessary this preparatory struggle. The mother or father, or both, were taken and the child, or woman, led a child his or her flight alone—to sink or swim. When thrown out into deep water, then, if ever, will be manifest that sterner stuff of which character is made. "Not only is the hand of God seen in the experiences of individuals but in the liberation of races and in the rise and growth of nations. The war waged between the United States and Spain meant the removal of impediments and an upward flight for the peoples of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, materially, intellectually and morally. God's hand was there. And his was the mighty force, the unseen hand, directing for ultimate good the deadly war between Russia and Japan. Today a new Japan and a new Russia look the world in the face. What means the present struggles that are going on between Turkey and Italy, the declaration of war by the people of Montenegro, Greece, Servia and Bulgaria? In all of this restlessness Johavel's inscrutable will is "individually, racially and nationally, when the strength for flight falls God intervenes. He strengthens the cast down soul that failed in an honest struggle; He lightens the burdens, removes the impediments and liberates every people that in penitence has cried to be free from sorrow. He will be tomorrow, forever and forever. If ye seek, ye shall find. Although ye be dead, yet shall ye live." The Latest News of the Work. In This City—Items of Interest—Speakers.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER News Notes of the Nation's Capital By R. W. THOMPSON Washington, D. C., Oct. 25. —The political situation is the subject of discussion in church, lodge, schoolroom, business house, barber shop and on the street corners. The wise-acorn who can remember as far back as Lincoln's time, and who took part in the memorable contests between Grant Hayes and Tilden in 1876, shake their reputation as a prophet by telling just what is going to happen on the 5th day of November. That the trend is toward Taft all will agree. The business forces, anxious to hold intact the unprecedented prosperity of the times, seem to prefer Taft, and the wagerers are hoping to gain their opportunity to work at the various trades, seem ready to follow the men of money. There is much Roosevelt sentiment, of course, and the friends of Wilson claim that they will in a walk. So, there you are. The 5th of November will tell the tale. Nevertheless, we shall have on our hands the ubiquitous fellow who will be told, "I told you so." Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson has been doing some high-grade campaigning in New England, New York and New Jersey for Taft. School Teachers Poorly Paid. Mr. R. R. Horror's "jacking up" of a Kiger Savoy, a school teacher for waiting table at a resort at night, while teaching by day, may result in good for all of the teachers of the local system. Supporting the school board for upholding Mr. Savoy in his effort to pick up a few extra dollars to assist his parents and to lay up something for a possible bride, the Washington Post of Sunday had a ringing editorial deploring the poor salaries which makes it necessary for Mr. Savoy and others of others to supplement their daily earnings by some outside employment, which adds nothing to their efficiency as teachers. The incident is closed, by reason of the fact that it was not proven that the young man drank any of the "red licker" he is said to have served to patrons, and hence his character was not impeded to the extent of having him dismissed from his position. The problem of Kiger Horner, of the Board of Education. The problem of more liberal salaries will come up for an airing soon. Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, the famous prima donna, is in the city. The first colored "fresh air" school was opened this week at the Stevens school, with Miss C. C. Thomas in charge. This will give relief to the young children affected with tuberculosis. Mr. A. C. Newman has been given charge of the new Street Vocational school, Mrs. J. W. Shaw has charge of domestic science, Miss A. D. Jones, domestic art, and Mr. O. W. McDonald has carpenter. The enrollment at the Phelps Business High school is unchanged, illustrating the earnest desire of the school to offer an opportunity to fit themselves for commercial pursuits. The day class numbers 225 and the night class 176. Mr. W. T. S. Jackson is at the head of this thriving institution and his appointment is regarded as one of Supt. Bruce's happiest thoughts. Sad Case of Mattie Lomax What is to become of poor Mattie Lomax, the colored woman, now in the District jail, whose sentence was commuted by President Taft from hanging to life imprisonment? She was convicted of the murder of her husband. Under the law she cannot remain in the local jail. The state prison at Lansing, Kan, where it had been planned to send her, refuses to receive her, and no other place wants her. The government officials, noting the queer actions of the prisoner, are now planning to send her to wind up in the Government Hospital for the insane. Miss Vivian Lucie Thompson, daughter of R. W. Thompson, who led her class in domestic science last summer at Normal School No. 2, has been appointed director of domestic science in the Whitted high School, Durham, N. C., where Prof. W. G. Pearson is principal. Durham is one of the most progressive cities of the south. Miss Thompson succeeds Miss Beatrice O. Childs, who goes to teach domestic science in the high school at Atlantic City, N. J. The school is located in an elite place out the friends with whom they will stop in Washington next March. "Taking time by the forelock". The taking won the interclass flag rush at Howard University last Saturday, and the youngsters are quite "chesty" over the victory. Many Entertainment for Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. is having a campaign for memberships. Some athletic or social event is being pulled off every night, and the attendance is large. Physical Director W. H. J. Beckett is arranging contests in bowling and various feats in the gymnasium. The ladies are allowed to come in and participate in bringing out the men. On Sunday afternoon next Dr. D. Webster Davis, the Richmond humorist and lecturer, will speak in the auditorium on "Crawling Under the Tent." Surrounded by a group of his personal friends at his cosy home, 1359 Wallach place, N. W., last Saturday evening, Mr. David D. Rogers, of the treasury department, celebrated his 34th birthday in happy style. The parors were handsomely decorated with natural flowers, and the lunch menu included a variety of wines. With R. W. Thompson as toastmaster, the gentleman present paid eloquent tributes to the character and laudable achievements of the genial host. Among the speakers were Messra, W. B. Harris, W. H. H. Terrell. Walter H. Grimshaw, James B. Smith, Hoover Brown, E. B. Woodford, Jesse C. Powell, C. M. Miller, Alex. Middleton and others. Prof. M. Grant Lucas, principal of the Bruce school, delivered a carefully prepared address on the care "creat" of the building in the ring of the Mu-So-Li Club. The business administration of President Taft was enthusiastically endorsed, and particular stress was laid upon the broad policies with reference to the race enunciated at the ceremonies in connection with his formal notification of his nomination, and the men were received on terms of聘 by Mr. and Mrs. Taft at the White House. A lively debate was precipitated in the club, in which all shades of political belief had a hearing. Assistant Register Cyrus Field Adams accounted for the Middle Western circuit. He notes a decided trend toward Taft. Husband of Legatee Under, the Will of Wealthy Memphis Millionaire on a Trip in Her Interest. Mr. Andrew J. Napler, a prominent real estate dealer of Vancouver, B.C. was in the city some weeks ago on a very important trip to Memphis, Tenn., and New Orleans in the interest of Mrs. Laura Church Napler, who is the oldest daughter of the late R. R. Church, of Memphis, Tenn., and sister to Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington, D. C. (She's a Church of New York City, Robert R. Church, of Memphis, Tenn., and Mrs. Church Terrell, that Mrs. Napler (then Miss Laura Church) lived with the family in Memphis ever since Mrs. Church's marriage to the present widow, formerly Miss Anna Wright of Memphis, Tenn. She was sent to school at Fisk many years ago. At that time she was in the special care of Miss Ella Shepard, a teacher, who later was a member of the Jubilee Singers. Mrs. Napler with her husband, was a resi-der of Memphis many years. Many were their friends. Mrs. Samuel Prentice, wife of the well known druggist, who she practically raised. It could not be learned from Mr. Napler what provision had been made for Mrs. Napler in the will of Mr. Church, as he could not be induced to say very much, other than that he had been to Memphis, and while there had several important conferences with R. R. Church, Jr., after which he left for New Orleans, looking after Mrs. Napler, looking after Mrs. Napler, returning via Montgomery, Ala., and Amerlens, Ga., the latter place being his home; then to Chicago and to his home in the far west.

Butter to the Rescue DUNNE AS MAYOR RAN THINGS OPEN Assessed City Employees twice and Permitted Open Gambling. Three Chicago Papers Charge He Took Money From Police and Compiled City's Servants to Work for Him. As election day approaches it is well to recall conditions in the city of Chicago under Mr. Dunne's administration as mayor. He twice assessed city employees for primary and election campaign funds. He permitted slot machines and other gambling devices to be operated without restriction. As the conclusion of his term chief of police and other appointees of his administration were indicted by the grand jury. Under date of February 11, 1907, the Chicago Tribute contained the following statement concerning his administration: "On the eve of his fight for renomination as the chief executive of Chicago Mayor Edward D. Dunne's campaign managers are attempting to reach the nomination of the police department, from the humblest patrolman to inspector, for money with which to carry on his campaign. Collect Fund of $28,000. "Five thousand dollars, it was learned yesterday, has been collected from the police force during the last two days, and there is at least $20,000 more in sight, for few have dared to whimper at the 'big stick' that has been raised over their heads. They fear department apologies and either jobbed charges before the civil service commission or a transfer to a neighborhood. The action of the neighborhood agers is unprecedented in the memory of the oldest member of the department. There have been political assessments in the past, but never before the primaries. This is the first instance where the mayor's managers have seen fit to make a levy before the campaign opened, and the first instance where a general order has gone out through the department demanding money from the men on the ground. The particular financial reform has been reserved for a reform administration. The spirit of the civil service law has been thrown to the winds. Scale of Prices Used. "The hold-up order, issued through the department, came as a thunderbolt Saturday morning. The chief is said to have called the inspectors to his office and told them that the mayor or needed $5,000 at once. Inspector George Shippy was the only one not there. Some of the inspectors could not believe they had heard aright until the demand was repeated with emphasis. "Here is the 'scale of prices' which was handed out to inspectors for collection: Patrolmen, 4,000 men, each $5, at least ..... $20,000 Sergeants, 600 men, each $10, 5,000 Lieutenant, 70 men, each $25, 1,750 Captains, 15 men, each $50, 750 Inspectors, 5 men, each $100, 500 Total $28,000 "The charge of the collection of the fund was distributed by the inspector, who captains the captains of the various stations on the main. The captains passed the word to the lieutenants, and the lieutenants gave the job to the plain clothes men, who do a great deal of that sort of work. The mailers are said to be running open poker games and handbooks every part of the city. 'Kings' of the levee, who are strong with the administration, are said to serve intoxicating drinks all night if they want to. Slot machines and other small gambling devices are alleged to have been taken from their hiding and placed openly to attract youth." News Confirma Story. Evidence Confirms Story. Evidence of the Injury of the Tribune charges is found in the following from the Chicago Daily News, March 19, 1907: [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. 72 HON. EDWARD D. GREEN. Author of Illinois Strong Civil Right Assembly From Chicago a Author of Illinois Strong Civil Right Law, Present Member of the Gar- Assembly From Chicago and a Candidate for Re-elect- "Rubepublic campaign managers day issued a counter 'civil service' tack on Mayor Dunne, disclosing dence that the city executive knowledge of the assessment bers of the police departm nancial assistance in his for reelection. Direct s from a police lieutenant to that the policemen are not licted to pay but coerced to bute to such fund, were made lc. According to other evidence secured in the police department it is understood that since the exposure of the police assessments the Dunne managers have been more cautious about approaching members of the department." Line Up All Employees. The Chicago Record Herald on March 19, 1906, also referred to it as follows: "Efforts to compel city civil service employees, of which there are 7,000 other than policemen, to take more than a normal interest in the re-election of Mayor Dunne, are being made there. There is a pretence at secrecy about this action. Some of the civil service employees have been told it would be well for them to contribute to the mayor's campaign fund." His Friends Attack Deneen at Chicago Banquet. Declare They Will Not Vote for Him on Election Day Because He Passed Direct Primary Law. Claims of. Theodore Roosevelt Frank H. Funk and Edward F. Dunn that Lorimer and Governor Denees are allies were answered effectively by Lorimer and his Friends at a banquet in Chicago. With the declaration of the Lorimerites of their position came a specific statement that they "never would vote for Deneen" or board "the pirate ship of anarchy with the red bandanna handkerchief at the masthead." What does that mean but that Mr. Lorimer and his personal following will support Edward F. Dunn for governor? Wakes for Lorimerism one of the vital issues of the election. If he should succeed in defeating Denees it will give him another opportunity to rebuild his fortunes and rally his scattered organization. It was Fred Lundin, former, com- gressman, who voiced the sentiments of Lorimer at the banquet attended only by his friends. "Who is respon- sible for the inauguration of the di- rect primary" cried Mr. Lundin feel- ing it too. But but I tell it he never I will vote for Charles S. Deneen, who inaugurated the di- rect primary, which is the death of the party in this state." Then came Mr. Lorimer himself to approve of what Mr. Lundin had said and to close with: "It is up to the Lincoln Republicans to take the leadership and save the ship from destruction." If you want Lee O'Nell Browne to be the dictator of the mrs. Funk and you will vote for your whish. Funk has no show and votes for him 'mean the election of Dunne. Browne is Mr. Dunne's down state repre- sentative. NEW ANGLE IN JEALOUS RAGE Husband Fatally Wounds Wife and Tries Suicide Three Ways, but Falls. Central City, Ky.—When C. O. Duttinger, a tailor, learned that his bride of two months was at a lawyer's office here making preparations to file suit for divorce he seized a hatchet, and, running to the office, attacked both his wife and the lawyer, James Stroud. After hacking them both with the hatchet, inflicting fatal wounds upon his wife, he ran back to his shop, dived through a gasoline stove inside, wrecking a gasoline stove inside, and setting fire to the building. He then made an effort to hang himself with a wire rope, but, falling in this, he was backging himself with the hatchet when firemen dragged him from the burning building. His wounds also are fatal. The lawyer will recover. 78 EEE Law, Present Member of the Ger d a Candidate for Re-electir --- MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC Fox and her four Picks were met at Forepaugh's in New York manager Lew Henry of New York City was called to Philadelphia by the energetic John I.

Purcose and Thornton, a team now at the Circle theater, New York, are two of the old school who have kept wonderfully up-to-date. Miss Jones of Cheers and Jones, a Chicago girl, is one of the best character artists in the business. Ed Peat of Peat and flayes is suffering from an attack of rheumatism. Miss Babe Brown of the Brown Girls has been confined to her bed, owing to an abscess of the ear. Andrew J. Thomas of Howard theater, Washington, D. C., is a very busy man, owing to his corporation project. each member has been rewarded by a season ticket to the theater. Mgr. Daly of Daly's theater, Baltimore, Md., is about the only manager in this world who sleeps good at night. It must be great to be in a field all to yourself. No opposition to worry about. Mgr. Smith has retired from management of the Blue Mouse theater, Washington, D. C., and the managers of the Foraker have added the west end house to their list. Mr. George E. Bandy, amusement director of the Circle theater, Philadelphia, Pa., reports a very prosperous season. Mr. Bundy attributes much of their success to the efforts they have made to make their playhouse as attractive as possible in that they have just installed four of the largest are lights obtainable, and are planning to reconstruct their building in the spring. Their bill for this week is as follows: Quinn and Hisler Moore, Guy and Rex, the Butlers, Laura Moss, Mamie Payne and Salona Luzzo. The Auditorium theater of the Quaker City is much enthused over the progress their playhouse has made. This week they have our own Miss Leona Marshall, soubrette, whose clever rendition of her songs brings much applause, Jones and Perkins, Miss Eve Robinson with her company of pretty girls.

The Silver Star quartet will soon open on the S. H. Dudley time. Daniels and Daniels, also Miss Mattie Whitman, will lay off next week in Indianapolis. The Indiana theater in Indianapolis, Ind, formerly the ill-fated Union, has opened again under the management of Mr. Billy McClain. But the opening bill not being up to the standard the management cancelled the show and will reopen again the week of the 21st inst. with a new show.

Thomas celebrated his first anniversary on Wednesday evening as lessee of the Howard theater. Speeches were made, and a delightful luncheon served. The bid at the Howard this week is exceptionally strong. The Brown Sisters, "Babe" and Maybelle, opened and won several big hands. They have new costumes, new business and put their work over admirably. Blanche Deas, holding over for another week, by request, was warmly received. The Henderson, in a neat sketch, two white magicians in a novelty air-ship act, and Daisy Martin in some stunning toiletics, together with Mr. Casmay, round out one of the best offerings this house has seen this season. A capacity audience was out Monday evening. Mine. Anita Patti Brown is booked for the 25th of November. Mme. E. Azalin Hackley comes to the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, Nov. 11, under direction of Mr. R. G. Doggett. Both will draw society audiences. offices G. byars, the Howard's en- erous manager, spent a fortnight recently in New York City, Philadelphia, Atlantic City and Asbury Park, looking over some "live ones" who are shortly to appear here. Mr. Byars is a theatrical genius, and it is said that arrangements are being quietly made by which he will soon be in a position to devote his entire time to handling the stars of stageland. Fiddler and Shelton are headed Washingtonwards. They will be given the "glad hand" here. The "Sunday Pope" begin at the Howard on the 27th. Elzie S. Hoffman's concert band of thirty pieces and the Amphion Glee Club will be the attractions. Miss Florine May Tyson, who recently married ar. J. Guy Scott, is to make her home with her husband at Meyersdale, Pa. Mr. Scott was a popular figure in the Howard's box office for two or more years. Lew Henry is adding more houses weekly to the Dudley circuit. Lottie Gee and Effie King, the "Ginger Girls," are perennial favorites at the Fairyland, and are winning laurels this week in an especially catchy skit. Although Misses Gee and King go to Ohio often to see their folks, they have come to regard Washington as their natural home, and the capital's smart set is lonesome without their cheery presence. No matter at what house they play, they are assured of a large following, and there is quite a rivalry among the local managers to book them. Mme. Anna Lee Shade, the talented reader, singer, and playwright, is filling a number of profitable engagements in the towns of Maryland. She has some ambitions plans for the future. A CAUSE FOR REJOICING Mme. Schumann-Helnk, World's Famous Contraito, Selects Chicago as Future Home—Calls Chicago "Beloved"—Well Remembered for Her Indorsement of "If I Forget"—Great Acquisition to "Windy City." Much jubilancy is expressed over the authentic report that the greatest contralto in the world today, Mme. Schumann-Heink, has decided to make a permanent home for herself and family within the confines of our city in the near future. Mme. Schumann-Heink occupies a large place in the affections of the music lovers of Chicago, not only for her most wonderful voice, but also for her splendid characteristics. Her coming to our shores will most materially benefit all who are so fortunate and honored as to be in any way associated with her. Most pleasantly is she remembered for her indorsement of the ballad, "If I Forget," written by our celebrated and worthy composers, De Koven Thompson and Alfred Anderson. People of much forthought feel that Mme. Schumann-Heink is the advance guard of a number of brilliant artists who will make their headquarters in Chicago and whose coming will be hailed with profound joy. At the present the composers of the above mentioned ballad are arranging new lyrics which this brilliant woman has condescended to use for them. Victim of Snakes He Hunted. After destroying upwards of 2,000 vipers in the course of his career as a snake hunter, M. Henry Sausereau died recently, in Paris, from the bite of a snake. He was hunting snakes in the woods near Bouloire (Sarthe), when a viper bit him in the hand and arm, and he died in terrible agony twelve hours later.

A just and proper procedure would be to create nor to intensify race prejudice. Sincerely yours, M. JOSEPH NOBLEPS, Pastor Bebel A.M. E. Church, Previous to the meeting the Chicago Defender had received many letters. Among them were the following: The Johnson-Falconet Case. The Johnson-Falconet case from the beginning, was plainly shown to be an FPAC case. The Johnson-Falconet statement: It would rather see my daughter spend the rest of her life with the FPAC. The plighty of a nigger. Other statements show that it is merely Johnson's race and color that Mrs. Falconet objects to. Now, any act or statement by anyone of his, Johnson's, race, tending to favor the FPAC, is not a violation and this particular one is a traitor to his race. There is only one way to oppose race prejudice and that is by exercising its legality. There are a few white people who are able to speak well, while the greater majority take no part at all. These sympathetic are more or less able to speak well, or are ceded, or probably ones who are as thoughtless as to sympathetic simply because they are not well educated, and try to adopt the ideas and habits of the Yankees, but despite their efforts to prejudice, it bulbs at every opportunity. We are glad to say that despite the discrimination, we have a government in Illinois that will, in the end of this case, be able to prevent the possibility, can be depended upon to show no partiality, no respect to race or color—O. H. Falconcet comedy was not provoked by the audience, and seems to be wholly without foundation. The charge of abduction, under which Mr. Johnson is held, and the many statements of Miss Falconet (who has passed the age limit of womanhood), of her determination, volition and love for Mr. Johnson, reveals the weakness of the law in this strange case of the color of gild. Our white brethren, whose minds are enslaved by prejudice, and whose daily papers, with their brimstone and bloodthirsty articles of condensed suggestions, seem to be laboring very energetically to provoke violence against this Negro, whom the world has failed to conquer by fair play. The Negro as a man, as a race, and as a unit, should stand as a solid phalanx against and encroachment of his rights (no matter how insignificant), or any attempt that tends to limit the rights of a Observing and liberty-loving people.

OTHER A FESTIVAL No More Faith in Fairies, Goblins and Witches — Now Merry Pastimes Mark Halloween. Hallowen and Hallowmas are near. One is a relic of pagan times, now associated in our minds with youthful frolics and missing gates. The other is a festival of the Christian church that has been observed in many lands for many centuries. Hallowen is on Oct. 31, and Hallowmas, more widely known as All Saints' day, on Nov.1. The date of the last named festival was purposely fixed by the authorities so near to one of the great festivals of the heathen nations with a view of supplanting it. In the fourth century the Greek church appointed a day for commemorating the martyrs generally. In the church of Rome a similar festival was introduced about 610 A.D. when the old temple that had been dedicated to all the pagan gods—the Pantheon—was consecrated to the worship of the Virgin Mary and the martyrs. Pagan and Christian Merge Pagan and Christian customs since then have been blended. Some of the features of the Halloween festival that prevailed through centuries were familiar to the Druids, strange priests of a strange religion that held sway in many parts of northern Europe before Christianity obtained its power. Three times each year the Druids built fires on the hillsides in Britain, Ireland and in France in honor of the sun god. These dates were May 1, the time of sowing; June 21, at the ripening of the crops, and Oct. 31, the harvest season. Faith in fairies and goblins, witches and sprites, was very strong in those old days. The simple country folk believed that on the night of Oct. 31 the fairies came out of their grottoes, while witches and goblins gathered in forest glades or plotted against mankind in the shadows of dungeon keeps. By a natural transition the fire of Halloween came to be regarded as a charm against these spirits. The Night of All Nights. Halloween was called the "Witches' Night" and the "Devil's Sunday" when his satanic majesty was supposed to have full charge of all wordly things. He assembled all the witches and rode to the assembly on a goat. The witches rode on cats or broomsticks. At the feast they drank out of horses' skulls. The devil supplied the music from a bagpipe formed of hens' skulls and cats' tails. Many marvelous, tales were told of orgies before the return home. So late as the seventeenth century it was customary for farmers to carry lighted torches about their fields to HIS HONOR, CARTER H. HARRISON, MAYOR OF CHICAGO. protect them from harm the coming year, meanwhile singing doggerel rhymes. Halloween easily became the night of all nights for prying into the secrets of the future, and thus arose those peculiar ceremonies that have not completely died out even in our own land. In England and Scotland, not so many years ago, the day was largely given over to superstitious ceremonies. Burns on the Lads and Lassies. Great bonfires were kindled in many places where villagers joined hands in merry dance. All sorts of frolics were indulged in, but the central idea in each game was to decide the fate of all the lads and laddies. There was the "pulling of the kale," the "ducking for apples" and "burning of nuts." To quote Burns: "The auld gudewite's weelhoarden nits Are round and round divided, And monie lads' and lasses' fates Are there that night decided. Some kindle, couchie, side by side. And burn thegither trimly; Some start awa' with saucy pride, And jump out owre the chinile Fu' high that night." In our own and other Christian lands merry pastimes mark the Halloween, but as a rule the old superstitions have died. Few persons expect to see or hear anything that is ghostly or supernatural. Some beliefs connected with All Souls' day are shown by a writer in the Encyclopedia Britannica to be of pagan origin. The peasanty of some countries believe the dead return to their former homes on that night and partake of the food of the living. In Brittany it is said the people flock into the cemeteries at nightfall to kneel at the graves of loved ones. Milk or food often is left on the grave and at bedtime supper is left on the table for the departed soul. The Mocker.

A curious horse-killing gun used in England to kill horses which have been injured is now being adopted by American anti-cruelty societies because of its noiselessness and surety of action.

JACK JOHNSON MEETING Statement by Conference of Representative Chicago Colored Citizens, October 23, 1912. The colored citizens of Chicago, through a number of their representatives, assembled at the Appomatox Club, 3441 South Wabash avenue, for the purpose of giving an expression to the public anent the unfortunate Jack Johnson affair, submit: That the tone of the daily newspaper expressions regarding this episode manifestly does the negro race an injustice by impliedly condemning the entire negro race for the alleged misconduct of one of its members. That we, as law abiding citizens in common with all good citizens of whatever race, condemn any immoral conduct or violation of the law, whether committed by a member of the white or colored race. That we disavow any and all implied publications that the negro race as a race approve the alleged utterances of Jack Johnson or any alleged act or acts which either violate the laws of the land or are repugnant to decent society. That we unqualifiedly affirm our desire to co-operate with the law abiding white citizens of Chicago to promote the highest civic betterment along all lines for the moral uplift of all classes, and pledge ourselves to use our highest endeavors to blot out any negro or set of negroes whose immoral conduct tends to lower the moral standard or bring into disrepute the entire negro race. That Jack Johnson at the invitation of this conference of representative negro citizens appeared in person and unqualifiedly denied that he made the statement, "He could get any white woman he wanted," or any statement reflecting upon the womanhood of any race, and being corroborated in such denial by Joseph Levy, a white man who was present at the time the statement was alleged to have been made. We therefore appeal to the sense of fairness of the public and press alike to discontinue the unfailing disposition to indict the entire negro race for any infraction of the law by an individual member of the race.

The Lamented Jess Wright. There are of athletes too numerous for me to mention; this year has been a banner year. Since the days of Ransom at Hyde Park we well remember Jess Wright of Wendell Phillips. Jess was a prince and so beloved and thought of that his team served his funeral in a body. At football he was a demon and at baseball he had few his equal. He was a good basketball player and his mates always counted on his perfect throws to stave off defeat. Wardena Crutchfield also played on the Wendell Phillips football squad and was a member of the track team. Burke Valorous at Philadelphia. little later at this same came Clarence Burke. Clarion the 440-yard race and was relay teams that won the right resent this great city in inter-ate games at Philadelphia. years they returned victorious, winter of the mile relay interscholastic championship of the United States. The last was the most exciting and never to be forgotten as the second man fell, regaining his feet he came to Burke, who was eagerly awaiting him, 4½ yards behind; but by a wonderful burst of speed the colored overtook his field, touching his captain and sending him away on even terms. Hale Parker at Work in the Mud. If it had not been for Burke, Wendell Phillips' great team would have been trampled upon by the east. Out Hyde Park, Hale Parker came to boys. I saw the blue and white teams at practice a week ago and there in the mud and dirt was Parker, plugging away with Al. Vintage against the regulars, giving them the best practice they could possibly get. Parker went to Illinois and played there in his freshman year. He played center for the Northwestern university eleven. He was taken out in the Chicago game on account of injuries. Pollard Idol of Team. Then at North Division Leslie Pollard was king. To the followers of the gridiron Pollard was an idol. He was a member of the team that went west and trounced the westerners. Les went to Swathmore and then to Dartmouth, playing in the Dartmouth-Princeton and Dartmouth-Harvard game. Down state we find Roy Young at Springfield High, also Walter Young and Frank Bates. Bates is now with the United States regulars stationed in Cuba. Walter is in the government service and our friend Roy is a practicing dentist. Doctor Young graduated from Illinois as a mining engineer. He was a star tackle and should have been captain of the eleven, but—well, prejudice is the word, that's all. Dr. Young's Brilliant Plays. Dr. Young's Brilliant Plays. He went west but decided to take up dentistry. Entering Northwestern he had one year that he could play football, according to the "big eight" conference rules. He played tackle in the same team with Parker, and as the life of the team. Mosely of Englewood. The next year, Dr. Young; as he now is known, was assistant coach to Mr. Hammet at Northwestern, Mr. Parker went as assistant to the coach at Lane. Last year as well as this at Englewood we find Mosely at football. ```markdown ``` A Quartette of Winners. This year also find Motley and DeVeses.

At the Cook County interscholastic last spring we find "what has become of the Negro athletes." They carried off 29 points, something never before known—Pollad, Bluitt, and Williams of Monmouth, and a colored youth from Bloomington, Ill. Fast Elfty-Yard Runner. At Monmouth Luther Williams and his brother have been taking honors at football and last year the younger brother became known to all the "down staters" as the fastest man that travels 50 yards. Going over to Bloomington we find Lackaye. He was a star performer on the high school team, later at the normal school, but made his greatest success at Wilberforce. At the Southern Colleges. the Southern Colleges. He was their best pitcher, played football with the widest of his arms and as a reward got his nose broken. Lackay went to Minnesota and then to Marquette, graduating from the medical school a couple of years ago. I can not spare space nor time to begin to tell you of our men in the college world. The southern colleges have their baseball, their football and their track, their tennis, their basketball, etc., while in the white colleges of the north we have never shown like we did this and a few years back. Drew Has No Equal. Two years ago Leroy Cousens was the talk of the Boston followers. Cousens was a member of the Somerville High team. At the Cambridge Manual Training school Jimmy King shown and it was only last year that out of their six men who won their letters six were colored. It was Mr. Duffy of the Boston Post who first noticed, the greatness on Drew. I don't need to go over his performances as it has been followed by me in the "Sporting World" column. His performances as a high school star has never been equaled nor probably never will be. He beat Craig, made the Olympic team, won his trial heat and his semi-final, then came his injury, but even at that he has "come back" just a few weeks ago. The readers of this paper know of the two Harvard men, Cable and Jackson. Cable's performance is on record both at Harvard and at Philadelphia. His work at the Dartmouth games, at the Yale track games and at the intercollegiate game wont be forgotten. Although Harvard's captain robbed Jackson of some laurels he was always there with second place which meant figures in the point column. Howe is Captain at Boston High. At the English high in Boston we find I. T. Howe captain. We will relate here that he was depended on for the first places won in the century and 440. In the latter race, during the Olympic try-outs, he finished third. Then at Cleveland we find Blue of football fame, at Minnesota, Bobby Marshall; at Nebraska, Will Johnson; at Harvard, Mathews as end. On the Oberlin track team two years ago there was a colored sprinter in the 100-yard events. Y. M. C. A. to Encourage Work. Back to Chicago, at Stagg's meet at Marshall field, Stonewall Jackson came all the way from California and he, with his red-headed wife partner, carried off that meet. Then at Otumwa, Iowa, the star end of last year's team was colored and at Iowa University a line man was colored. There are scores I can't begin to recall them all, but I can say as the years roll by they are more numerous, and in this city with the Y. M. C. A. to encourage them now, I look for greater success than ever. Grace Noted for Good Behavior. But those who have followed The Defender's articles since spring know that "Doc" Taylor of the University of Pennsylvania, W. H. Lewis of Harvard, Bullock of Dartmouth, Ransom, the Bean brothers of Everett, Wheeler and others are those whom our boys look forward to try to equal. Over at the Chicago University Grace Sunday school team is spoken of as an example of discipline on and off the field. Michigan had some good colored athletes, also Wisconsin, Brown and several western schools. Then there are the women of our race. Two I have in mind at present—Mary Furgerson of the Englewood basket ball team some few years back and Miss Caution Davis at Wellesley last year and this. The latter won her class numerals in both running and jumping. Both are teachers now, the former in this city and the latter goes south this fall. Gray of Brown, Johnson of Harvard, Shippley of the M. St. High School of Washington, now at Brown; Walker of Evanston Academy. "Did you lose much in that bank failure, Jim?" asked Hawkins.

Presbyterian Brotherhood between Grace and Mt. Olivet. As the umpire called the game there was an amount of joy in the hearts of the northside fans who for an hour before the game had applauded each long drive during the batting practice. By three o'clock the sky had cleared and the air was crisp—a better day for football. Lewis showed the effects of the cold weather and Mt. Olivet started after him with a rush, the result at the end of two innings had four runs to their credit. Here our strategy board held a conference and Baker went to the mound holding the near冲程 runless the rest of the way. Baker was as cool as a Newfoundland icicle in January while the boys backed him up in great style. The champions had a batting bee, killing Kirklyb's siants for twelve safe drives and twelve runs. The greatest amount of credit is due to Mr. Bronson and "Dick" Brown who have worked so faithfully. Even when our boys dropped a few games they gave them their entire energy and encouragement. The result shows and we and the citizens of Chicago are proud. Capt. Baker has worked hard and deserves much more credit than he will ever get. The roll of honor: Capt. Baker, who plays any position on the diamond but who proved himself a hero at short and in the pitcher's box; Herble Lewis, pitcher; Gene Renfree, third baseman; Mat Washington, pitcher; Motley, catcher; Peacher, first baseman; Bernie Irwin, second baseman; Tom Adams, shortstop; Frank Wooden, Rube Thomasson, Cary Smith, Mike Williams, fielders; Richard Brown and Mr. Bronson, managers.

P learn through reliable sources that Matthews probably will hold the distinction of being the last of our race to wear the coveted "Varsity "H" won on either the baseball or football field. They are not turned down "cold turkey," for one can come out with the call for can- didates in the fall, but he never makes the team. The track men are the only colored men wanted. The same old excuse as offered at Yale and the majority of the big schools—"they cause too much trouble." Not because they are colored, but because they are star players and are always feared by the other teams. I recall the unpleasant experience of Matthews on Harvard's spring training trip. Several schools didn't want to keep the dates when they found out a colored man was on the team the captain of the team threatened to withdraw the whole team and several arguments were the result. The alumni and their friends support the games at Harvard and they look at it in this way: The colored man isn't worth the trouble, for they are few and far between. Therefore, the above result. At Brown and at Dartmouth you are taken "man for man according to ability," but at Dartmouth you are very nice informally for man; you cannot play in the athletic field. Prince, with Reeves at tackle, Motley at left half and Mosely at right half-back, Englewood High lost to the fast and heavy Oak Park eleven 61-0. Dr. Young says that there are plenty of men and timber at Northwestern. The head coach, Mr. Hammett, doesn't seem to be able to get it out of them. Dr. Hammett's color knocks him out of that job, yet he is retained as first assistant coach. Young Fred Pollard is not going to Northwestern and the purple freshman team loses a good man. But Fred is only eighteen and may re-enter next year. His mother and the doctor's advice will keep him out a year. It looks as though we were going to have a Thanksgiving Day football game after all. Brings us back to the days when Frank George, Benny Gray, "Boldie" Cooper, Earl Hubbard, Louis Hubbard and a few others used to hold their "annual." But this time it will be of college stars—each a star by himself. They should be warmly patronized as we have no amusement on that day, neither morning or afternoon. Leslie Pollard, of Dartmouth, is working trying to see what progress he can make. Jimmy Thorpe, with a field goal from the 44-yard line and his generalship, proved to be the undoing of the University of Pittsburgh. The Carlisle team winning, 45-8. The Evanston Academy ran away from its rivals Sr. Jurdy, winning 31-12. Walker, the plucky colored halfback, was sent over for two touchdowns. All-Star Football Game At last we are to see some of our colored star football players in action. Lesile Pollard, the well-known North Division star and famous half-back of the Dartmouth 1908-09 teams, has gathered together a galaxy of such well-known star football players as Taylor of Langston, Johnston of Dartmouth, Young of Northwestern, Johnson of Nebraska, Walker, Miller, Chenault of Hampton, Presely of Northwestern Academy, Watson and Ray of Carlisle. With these star players and others he intends to stage a big Thanksgiving Day game at Shorelling's park. He is in hopes that the South Side football fans will be able to get together a team that will be worthy enough to clash with his star team on "turkey day." Expectant. A man slightly under the influence of liquor strolled into the art gallery, wandered about aimlessly for a while and stationed himself in front of a painting of several mermaids half submerged in water.

NOTED BANKER CANDIDATE FOR STATE TREASURER An Expert in Finance—Began Life in 1874 as Bookkeeper in the Jacksonville National Bank and Has Been in the Business Ever Since. A BROAD-MINDED MAN OF AFFAIRS While Treasurer in 1908 He Saved the State Over a Million Dollars. Andrew Russel, candidate of the Republican party for treasurer of Illinois, was born in Jacksonville, Ill., on June 17, 1856, and has spent all his life in this state. After receiving his education at the public schools and at Illinois College, Mr. Russel tigered a successful business career in 1874 as a bookkeeper in the Jacksonville National Bank. He has been in the banking business ever since, and is now vice president of the Ayers National Bank of Jacksonville. Mr. Russel has always been found to be clean, careful and unprejudiced; standing fearless for justice to all B. H. Hon. Andrew Russel. men, and particularly interested in the moral, social and industrial uplift and advancement of the colored race. He is not a stranger to the voters of Illinois, having filled the office of State Treasurer from 1908 to 1910 to the entire satisfaction of the people. He gave the office his careful and personal attention, and during his term increased the net profits to the style almost 100 per cent. He is presented to the voters with entire confidence in his fitness, and there ought not to be the slightest doubt about his election. Truth About Domestic Duty Truth About Domestic Duties. There is absolutely nothing in domestic duties themselves, or in any form of manual labor that develops the mind or elevates and broadens the character. The idea that every woman needs practical instruction in housekeeping as a part of her education is as absurd as would be the claim that every man needs to be taught in school to plant corn or milk a cow. Mary Leal Harkness. Still at it. "I wonder what has become of my husband. Three days ago I sent him to match a sample at a department store. He hasn't been seen since." "I saw him yesterday.

(1) --- son's ambitions, is it hard to see that he is simply endeavoring to take from President Taft enough votes to elect the great economic bungler of Princeton? If a Negro voted outright for Wilson he could not aid the election of the Democratic candidate any more than by voting for Theodore Roosevelt, and the difference in ends and means between the Democratic party and the Bull Moose party is only as the difference is between tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum. The Democratic party has spent its existence in retarding the progress of the Negro and has bred a verminous species of race haters like the Tillmans and the Vardamans, to the end that they are ashamed to ask the Negro to vote for them. So the Progressive party, conveyed by a hungry herd of Brindle Bull Moosers, is trying to pull Wilson's chestnuts out of the fire. The question is just simply this: Is the Negro race in America ready to aid in placing Hoke Smith, Vardaman and Tillman in power at Washington? If the Negro is ready for this auspicious event, vote for either Wilson or Roosevelt; it matters not which, the end will be the same. Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 23, 1912—Mrs. L. C.

Paul Lawrence Dunbar Electricity Used as Food. Professor Bergonie of Paris has advanced the theory that electricity can be made to take the place of food in sustaining life. His idea is that the essential purpose of food is to supply the body with internal warmth. He claims to have proved that low tension, high frequency currents of electricity can be passed through a man in such a manner as to produce the required energy warmth of maintained life. The great thing to guard against is the production of a temperature high enough to be fatal. According to Professor Bergonie, electric "food" is much superior to vegetables and meat, inasmuch as it imposes no work on the digestive organs, the food being directly absorbed by the nerves. Thus is avoided, the savant asserts, the ordinary fatiguing, wearying process of intestinal combustion which is so exhausting to invalids or to patients in a weakened state. "One dose of electric food," we are told, "will do a man as much good as three solid meals of ordinary food. More than that, electric food actually increases the patient's weight." The Buffalo hospitals have adopted an improvement in ambulances which will probably be copied elsewhere. It is often impossible to take time to properly disinfect ambulances used for contagious disease cases. The new scheme consists in providing separate steel linings for the ambulances—one lining for each class of cases. For instance there is a lining for diphtheria, another for smallpox, a third for measles, and another for scarlet-fever and another for special cases. When for instance a scarlet-fever patient is being moved, the special lining for such cases is placed in the ambulance. On the return of the ambulance the lining is taken out and thoroughly disinfected while another lining is shoved into the ambulance. In this way there is no loss of time for the ambulance.—Pathfinder. Sarah Bernhardt, though she has for three decades had a greater earning power than any player in the world, has never been possessed of any fortune whatsoever. In fact, despite earnings in excess of $200,000 annually, she invariably has been compelled to call upon her managers to advance her from $25,000 to $50,000 whenever embarking for an American tour. While Sarah is extravagant, her son Maurice and his family receive the greater portion of her remarkable earnings. It is this persistent depletion of her bank account that has caused Mme. Bernhardt to appear in vaudeville in London and also induced her to accept $30,000 from a French film company to pose before the camera in the play of "Camille," with her entire company from her Paris theater.

DEWEY ISN'T DENY S STATEMENTS Third Party Founded on Race Prejudice and Race Hatred—Progressive Party Would Not Even Give Eighth Regiment Band a Chance to Furnish Music at Their Camp Pires. "ALL MEN," SAYS TAFT The Roosevelt Papers Even Would Not Allow Jack Johnson to Make a Statement to the Public Through Their Columns—Is This Progressive?—Well, We Guess Not! BY PHIL H. BROWN. Assistant Director of Publicity, Republican National Committee. We are about to arrive at the end of the story. This campaign, famous for its personal bitterness engendered by men in high places employing invective and contention against the existing order of things, has been pregnant with lessons for the Negro. It has demonstrated more than any recent occurrence that his citizenship in this country is hanged by a thread, and the organization of the so-called Progressive party accentuated the weakness of his connection with the body politic. That the loud-mouthed Bull rossers, crazed as if by religious emotion, should chant the song of Armenadodd as the funeral dirge over the hopes of the Southern Negro, while they cunningly attempt to beguile the northern Negro into the fateful meshes of the Initiative, Referendum and Recall evidences the sheer hypocrisy of the warp and woof of the new party. Founded on Preludice. That a third party could be formed upon the renets of race prejudice is fraught with dire possibilities to the Negro, and stands out in bold contradiction to the fine, humane foundation upon which the Republican party came into existence fifty-four years ago. The Republican party came forth declaring that Christ had "died to make men holy and they would die to make them free," while the swaddling political infant bearing the misnomer of the Progressive party blashemes the spirit of the glory of pathetic purposes departed by denying God-given rights of the Negro in the South and threatening the tenure of the Negro's citizenship in the North by the Initiative. We can understand how a white man, poisoned by the virus of race prejudice, could be a Bull Mooser, but for all the world we cannot see how any colored man can be one. In all of the campaign we have not come across a single colored man who can give a rational reason of why he is a Brindle Bull Mooser. If you crowd them rather closely, they all behave like Fields and Ellis: by howling some maudlin humpy-tumpy about Armageddon and battling for the Lord, just as if the Lord would have anything to do with a party founded upon inhumanity to some of his creatures. One thing about this campaign is that if the white Progressive doesn't say something against the Negro, he hits the happy medium and doesn't say anything at all. Take the case of Chancey Dewey, the grand Poo-Bah and all-centered cyclops of the Bull Moose movement in the west. We see him trifling with the intelligence of the colored American and applying the tactics of the slave driver. "If you do not vote the Progressive ticket," he declared to reputable colored citizens, "we will join hands with the Democrats and disfranchise all of the Negroes in the North." Dewey Doesn't Deny. and Chaucey Dewey doesn't deny it. From all indications and from his dignified silence we are led to believe that he takes some sort of selfish Bull Moose pride in his vicious statement. His publicity man, Mr. A. N. Fields, got down his dictionary and dusted off his encyclopedia and harnessed all of the adjectives and adverbs from Dan to Beersheeba, but neer a word spake he of the fact that his chief had cast the meanest insult upon the Negro race that has gained circulation in a century. By handy oversight he failed to mention the gentle encouragement vouchsafed to the Negro by that double-skirted Armageddon, Miss Alice Carpenter, who said: "It is a repetition of the parable of the Talents: The Negro was given his vote and he buried it beneath venality and lust, and now it must be taken away from him until he learns how to use it." Brother Fields evidently thinks Parker of Louisiana is a nice man since he refused to permit any Negroes to enter the hall at the Progressive meeting in New Orleans. Roosevelt Cannot Land. Still, with all of this, with the sacrifice of the Negro upon the altar of political avarice, one sweetly solemn and consoling thought stalks over us, or and oar; thank God, Theodore Roosevelt cannot be elected. Of course, the Progressives know this. Their Armageddon is in behalf of the Democratic party and the damnation of the Negro, as Chaucey Dewey says; but they cannot win. Every vote the Negro casts for Roosevelt is a vote cast for Wilson, because the Bull Moose candidate cannot win unless he gets 8 out of every 19 Republicans in the United States. Even in these degenerate days of political frenzy does anyone suppose that he can do this? Does anyone dare to believe that there are not enough Republicans in this wide nation who are sufficiently loyal to the traditions and principles of the grand-party since the world began to rt the vicious machinations of the motionists? nce Roosevelt is merely a decoy in the interest of Professor Wil- l THE CITY OF FAME.

Bonds and Now in Jail. By Frank A. Young. One of the most pathetic as well as unfortunate cases in years has come before the citizens of Chicago. A young girl, seventeen years of age, about to become a mother in a month, without a single friend in the city of Chicago and the world except a poor sister in far away Corinth, Miss. Without a penny, without clothes, she fees the world, poor creature. Such is the case of Mator McFerrin, who never knew a father's love or care, never had the love of a mother, who has lived in hospitals or in charity institutions the greater part of her life. Her mother died two years ago in May at Cook County hospital from the result of a fall. The fortunate girl never saw her mother's body nor knows where she is buried. She has only a fourth grade grammar school learning and pneumonia at the age of eleven. Having been discharged as cured, she had a relapse and was taken to Wesley hospital. Later she was taken to Provident hospital after she had been struck with a bottle. Not being properly cared for by those who had her in charge, she was sent to the Emily Waterfield Home, 1307 West 61st street, where she stayed until symptoms of tuberculosis set in. Then she was sent to Ward 7, County Hospital, and then transferred to the tubercular ward. There she met Frank Chaplin, another patient, who as they began to improve worked together in the kitchen Such is the case of poor Mate McFerrin, born in Harvey seventeen summers ago. People of this great cosmopolitan city should come to this child's rescue. Open your hearts, give what you can, no matter how small the amount, and if opportunity doesn't present itself for you to go in person, Mr. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender, or Dr. A. J. Carey or any of the women's clubs will receive what you have and see that she gets it The Juvenile Court will prosecute Chaplin. The Chicago Defender representative was the first to interview this unfortunate girl. Willing Panhandler Arbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, was accosted one day by a drunken panhandler, who asked for a dime. The arbishop gave him the dime and said: "My friend, don't you think it would be possible for you to walk in the straight and narrow path?" The panhandler straightened up, "Who? me?" he asked. "Show it to me. I used to be a tight-rope walker."-Saturday Evening Post. World War II Would Be More Important. A scientist declares that the speed mania of the robot tombolists into nervous wrecks.

In an interview with a reporter of the Defender Mr. Hinkle praised in most glowing yet deserving terms the splendid discipline which is the policy of the Eighth, saying: "No duty ordered to be performed was questioned but was done with the greatest precision and its outcome left to the wise judgment of the regiment's superior officers, and a man who had not the advantage of a college education could gain its equivalent in many ways by being a member of the Famous Eighth." Mr. Hinkle is as highly esteemed by the members of his regiment as he is by those by whom he is employed. The Defender is proud of this honorable man and wish for him every success in life. BRAIN REMAINS ACTIVE EXPLANATION OF THE WORKINGS OF SOMNAMBULISM. Authenticated Cases of Remarkable Performances Are Many—One Man Made Long Journey in Safety While Asleep. Various stories are told of acts committed by persons asleep, and, while these bear all ear-marks of having been done with both body and mind active and awake, the performer, on his awakening, is unconscious of their execution. We herewith give a few of the most interesting and seemingly incredible of these authenticated tales: "A certain member of a foreign university, having devoted himself during his waking hours to the composition of some verses, which, however, he had not been able to complete, seems to have been honored with more success in a visitation from his muse during his nocturnal slumbers; for the following night he arose in his sleep, finished his poetic performance, and exulting in his success, returned again contentedly to his couch, all in a state of unconsciousness." "A rope-maker in Germany often fell asleep while at work, and either continued his work in the proper way or uselessly remade cordage already finished. Sometimes when walking long distances he would similarly be overtaken with sleep and go on safely, avoiding horses and carriages and timber lying in the road. On one occasion he fell asleep just as he got on horseback, yet he went on, rode through a shallow river, allowed his horse to feet being up his legs to prevent his feet being moved passed through a crowded market safely at the house of an acquaintance. His eyes were closed the whole time, and he awoke just after reaching the house." "In the college where he was educated was a young seminarist who habitually walked in his sleep, and while in a state of somnambulism used to sit down to his desk and compose the most elegant sermons, scrupulously erasing, effacing or interlining whenever an incorrect expression fell from his pen. Though his eyes were apparently fixed upon the paper when he wrote, it was clear that they exercised no optical functions, for he wrote just as well when an opaque substance was interposed between them and the sheet of paper. Sometimes an attempt was made to remove the paper, in the idea that he would write upon the desk" beneath. But it was observed that he instantly discerned the change and sought another sheet of paper as nearly as possible resembling the former one. "At other times a blank sheet of paper was substituted by the bystanders for the one on which he had been writing, in which case, on reading over, as it were, his composition, he was sure to place the correction suggested by the perusal at precisely the same intervals they would have occurred in the original sheet of manuscript. This young priest, moreover, was an able musician, and was seen to compose several pieces of music while in a state of somnambulism, drawing the lines of the music paper for the purpose with a ruler and pen and ink, and filling the spaces with his notes with the utmost precision, besides a careful adaptation of the words in vocal pieces."—The Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette.

In it he said of Mr. Dunne: "Dunne is a man without initiative and but little executive ability and he was known as a weak mayor. Elected on a municipal ownership platform, he left the office with the city farther from the ownership of the street railways than, when he assumed the office. His lack of initiative was shown when he astonished his friends by sending to Glasgow, Scotland, for a man to come here and tell him what to do and how to go about doing the thing he had promised the people. Interested guests got that man before he reached Chicago, but Dunne was the last man to find it out. Dunne called in as his special advisers on this question men who were not in sympathy with his program and who were double crossing him at every opportunity. "The result of all this blundering was that Dunne was overwhelmingly defeated by a man who found it unnecessary to make a single speech in the campaign. The most that can be said for Dunne is that he was honest and good natured. He was as much of a misfit in the office of mayor, however, as is the watch-dog which makes friends with everybody—perfectly honest intentions, but not a good judge of marauders. His best friends now say that 'Dunne will not fight,' that is in office he will not fight along effective lines even for the things he was sent to fight for. The reason for this of course is not disinclination or intentional disloyalty, but the simple truth is that it is not in him to scheme and outwit and outmaneuver the enemy, and the common verdict is that his administration was a failure." If the above were true when Mr. Dickson wrote it, it is true now. Mr. Dunne's record as mayor remains unchanged. DUNNE AND LEWIS MADE LAW COSTLY Colonel Spent $100,000 More Than Predecessor in Care of Favorites. Col. James Hamilton Lewis, who has been campaigning with Edward F. Dunne down state, was corporation counsel of the city of Chicago when Mr. Dunne was mayor. Although the administration of Mr. Dunne lasted only two years, his corporation counsel succeeded in spending $100,000 more than any of his predecessors. His payrolls were packed with men who were appointed for political reasons. The appointees were paid under the system of special vouchers which rendered it difficult of detection. No payrolls were published under the Dunne administration as was the custom formerly. According to the Chicago Tribune of February 7, 1907, "the disbursements for salaries, outside of the regular payroll, have reached an extraordinary figure. By special vouchers during the last thirteen months a total of $74,800 was paid out to 48 attorneys and investigators, most all of whom were appointed by the mayor for political reasons. Those few who were not so appointed were found to be absolutely necessary in special law cases after they had been dispensed with regularly. This is the principal item in the increased cost of the office over the year 1905, the total increase amounting to $88,000. An effort was made to conceal the vouchers from a Tribune reporter on Tuesday. Yesterday the last was produced." TURN TO OLD PARTY ON OFFICIAL BALLOT Four Candidates Take Republican Column When Compiled to Make Choice—Shows Trend of Vote. Signs of the times portend Republican victory in Illinois. They may be seen in the action of four out of five candidates, nominated by the people unforced by the party who below the people worth more than the title of the Progressive party given them by a half dozen self-constituted bosses. When the time came for these candidates to choose the party designation under which they wished their names to appear on the official ballot they selected the Republican column. Congressman Ira C. Copley of the Aurora district and Charles J. Searle of the Rock Island district said they would run as Republicans. Senator T. B. Stewart of the Aurora legislative district chose the Republican col-lection did also die. A. Samuelson of the Rock Island district. Their action is an indication of change of sentiment in favor of the Republicans in the Eleventh and Fourteenth congressional districts. ```markdown ``` LEST WE FORGET IT. When the last word is said by Mr. Roosevelt, let it be remembered that if Governor Deneen had elected to support the Moose party candidate for president the colonel would be commending the governor of Illinois today as one of the most progressive executives in the country.

State St. Res., 4036 Dearborn The New Am Latest Invention from t This new light unit is the latest of a thousand and one Welsbach inventions. It is the final triumph of the great Welsbach Laboratories—the laboratories from whence came the first mantle light and nearly all the inventions that have since brought gas light into universal use in the city homes. The New Amber Glow Light breaks all world's records. It yields a measured volume of full 157 candies of genuine Amber colored light while burning a trifle less than 4 of a cent's worth of gas per hour. This is more light for less money than science has ever deemed it possible Through special arrangement will be sold in Chicago The Peoples Gas Light The first consignment of a shipment Company is now giving free demonstration You can phone Randolphs 567-or write Coke Company. Be sure and ask, too. to produce. And the fact that this huge volume of light is pure amber in color makes it certain that this unit is destined to generally displace other home lights throughout the city. To help introduce this new light we are now distributing an "Amber Glow Book." A book that is intensely interesting and fascinating facts. It tells why Amber light hances harmonies of dress and decoration—why Amber light makes the skin look soft and smooth—why Mary Garden demands Amber light when she sings—why professional shooting experts wear Amber glasses and why Amber light is most soothing to the eyes.
