The abduction case against Cham-ful mother and sister, three cheers pion Jack Johnson was dismissed in Anderson and Wright Noted Lawyers. The people are pleased that the champion selected two able race lawyers to handle this case, Anderson and Wright, and it may be interesting to our readers to acquaint them with a statement of some victories achieved by them. The Famous Streeter Case. Among the celebrated cases won by Attorney W. G. Anderson is the Captain George Wellington Streeter case of the so-called "Desrestrict of Lake Michigan," who was sentenced to life imprisonment in the Joliet penitentiary for killing watchman Kirk. Captain Streeter had had some of the best and most learned lawyers in Chicago fighting his battles before he sent for Attorney Anderson, who after a hard battle in court restored the captain to his freedom. The case of Banker Spalding of the Globe Savings Bank was another important case to occupy the attention of the public. Spalding also had had Chicago's so-called best white lawyers, but finally had to come to Attorney Anderson for relief. This case was heralded far and wide at the time on account of the prominence of the banker and the seriousness of the charge. Anderson fought this case for several months, but finally landed his man. John Dennison Released from Joliet. Then the case of John Dennison, serving a life sentence for murder, is worthy of mention. Dennison had served twelve years in the Joliet penitentiary under a life sentence for murder. The attention of Dennison's friends, who had been watching the work of Attorney Anderson in other cases, finally brought them to look up Attorney Anderson, and again he scored a great victory when he secured the discharge on habeas corpus of Jack Dennison, who at one time ```markdown ``` The abduction case against Champion Jack Johnson was dismissed in the Municipal court Tuesday, the prosecution having failed to make out a case. It was rumored that Lucille Cameron was to be freed and that her mother was to take her south. But the court refuses to release her until after the Champion's trial. "No part of the south for me," said the Cameron girl in an interview. "I am afraid to go anywhere back to my home in Minneapolis." The Champion's Victory. Jack Johnson, the recognized champion of the world, won the greatest victory of his when, through his able attorneys, W. G. Anderson and Edward W. Wright, he forced the United States government to admit him to ball last Saturday morning. For a whole week some of Chicago's ablest lawyers had been endeavoring to "land their man" on ball before Judge Carpenter, but each time they made a move they were "turned down," either by the judge or district attorney. They offered $50,000 cash bail, as well as Mrs. Thy Johnson's property, and still they could not get Jack out. Anderson and Wright to the Rescue Attorneys. W. G. Anderson and E. H. Wright were then called into the case and things began to get hot and for several days the noted attorneys worked night and day, in and out of the Federal building, and finally succeeded in inducing the district attorney and the United States court to accept ball in the person of M. S. Baldwin, who at one time was associated with Captain Streeter while Attorney Anderson was fighting to get the Captain out of the penitentiary. Other Attorney's Pled Before U. S. Supreme Court. Attorneys Morris and Bachrack had been sent to Washington to endeavor to get relief from the United States Supreme Court but the Supreme Court up to the time that Jack got out had not yet rendered a decision. A great crowd appeared in Judge Carpenter's court when the hearing took place and when the distinguished champion walked out of the court, in company with his attorneys, Anderson and Wright, and the champion's faith. DR. U. G. DAILEY IN EUROPE Chicago Physician on the Continent to Tell Chicago Defender Readers What He Observed. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Berlin, Nov. 21.—Dr. U. Grant Dalley told The Chicago Defender correspondent today that he hoped to be in Chicago not later than Dec. 5. He is extremely anxious to spend the Christmas holidays at home. The genial young physician and surgeon has met many notables while abroad and his observations of conditions and people in Europe will be told in a series of articles prepared by him while here. The first installment should appear at an early date. Dr. Dalley has spent four months in post graduate study here and is well equipped for his life work in the Windy city. MISS BEATRICE DAWSON Graduates From Teachers' College. The friends of Miss Beatrice Dawson, 3323. Wabash avenue, will be very glad to learn that she has completed her course in household arts at the Chicago Teachers' college and has taken up her work in the city schools. Miss Dawson claims the unique distinction of being not only the first girl of the race fitted to teach household science in Chicago, but also that of being the youngest teacher in the class, as she is not yet nineteen years of age.

(Aiogram to Chicago Defender.) Liberia, Africa, Nov. 22—Dr. Crum, U. S. Minister, is dying with African fever. Mrs. Crum was invited to London to the home of Duchess Heampstead for a nth's stay and was hurriedly called to the bedside of her husband, who will die bet morning, and before she reaches the African waters. Physical culture isn't absolutely necessary in carrying other people's burdens. --- That Color Prejudice Around the World Is Evil in a Thrilling Story of a Shipwreck Off the Harbor of Grand Bassa, Liberia, When a Captain Provided Life Preservers for the Members of His Race and Set All of the Liberians Adrift in a Leaky Boat—Worthless Sailors Manned the Boat—Oars Were Too Large—Boys Use Shirts to Stop Leaks. ADRIFT ON ATLANTIC OCEAN ALL NIGHT A Graphic Description of a Dastardly Outrage Upon the High Seas—Wreck of the S. S. Kamerun—Captain and Crew Negligent—Another Ship Within Hailing Distance of the Signals of Distress Ignores Them Until Morning — Thieves Loot Wrecked Vessel — Guard Arrives Three Days After Accident—All Africa Is Ashamed of the Incident. "All White People Up, All Black People Down." [Special to The Chicago Defender and The African League.] Buchanan, Grand Bassa, Liberia, Sept. 30.—The S. S. Kamerun ran on a rock in the harbor here at Grand Bassa about 12 o'clock on the night of Nov. 9. In a few minutes all the passengers were on deck in an excited manner, leaving all their luggages in their staterooms. The Captain blew his distress whistle, throw up rockets, fired gun after gun, calling for help. In about 10 minutes after the ship struck the lights went out. Lanterns were used to some effect. Captain and Crew Get Excited. It appeared like the captain and his crew were inadequate to the task of properly providing and caring for the passengers. They appeared not to be able to get anything fixed for the passengers' safety and comfort; and from the passengers' viewpoint the captain and crew seemed to care very little about them any way. It seems like the life boats could not be lowered, and no safety being made for the passengers, some of the Liberians began to assist themselves the best they could. There was a boat made fast to the ship by ropes and hanging by a chain to a derrick; the passengers began to make ready that boat, cutting the ropes so that it could swing free from the side of the ship. Finally it was seen that the boat could not be lowered on account of being substantially fastened to the derrick by a chain. The next plan fell upon by the few passenger who had counseled together was to make a raft of some lumber on the deck of the ship. But the chief mate came along and put a stop to that. White Captain Cockle Gill All the white passengers and crew were given life preservers, but the Liberians were not so provided. The passengers were ordered to get into the boat that the passengers first started to make ready. And it was lowered into the sea by the third officer. Those in this boat were Senator Cooper and Supt. Brewer of Cape Palmas, Rev. Cooper of Since, Mr. Oscar Meyer, who was returning from Germany; Sub-Treasurer J. R. Moore, Attorney W. A. Bryant, Mrs. Rose Green and daughter, Mr. Urias Potter, Mr. Samson Taylor and the League man, all of Grand Bassa; Mr. Stolte, who was on his way to Spanish Gulana from Germany; four white sailors and a few Bassa boys and one native from Acra. Adrift In Leaky Boat. The boat was uncorked, and the boys took a part, of their shirts and corked it. It was without a good rudder so as to enable it to be glued therewith; the oars did not belong to that boat but to a much larger boat. Nothing in the boat to help out in case of other accident. The sailors given to the boat to pull the oars were as helpless as the passengers, who knew nothing about handling an oar. With this outfit the captain sent us adrift on the Atlantic ocean to make up somewhere. We started ashore and drifted and toiled and drifted all night, getting farther away from the wrecked ship and farther away shore. Steamer in Sight Renders No Aid. Strange enough that the Anna Woermann was lying in the harbor when the Kamerun struck the rock and gave all signs of distress, and the S. S. Woermann did not render us any assistance but stayed there until morning, and we were still drifting and fighting for existence; seeing that we could not get ashore we tried to get to the Anna, since she would not send any aid to us, and to our surprise about six b'clock the Anna heaved up anchor and started to Riveress, leaving us to perish. She stopped, as if she wanted to come and meet us; Senator Cooper tied a white handkerchief on an umbrella and waved it and waved it, but that who before that and; even the still the heart- help until at the the captain set the passengers drift in such a poorly equipped boat, and gave the others the well equipped life boats. It seemed like he cared nothing much about the life of passengers, and if any souls were lost to make sure that Liberians should die. But God saved us all. Others Come to the Rescue. Soon the boats of the firms of A. Woermann, Vietor & Huber, Bremer Kolonial, J. W. West and the Dutch were along side, and such as would came ashore. The beach was crowded to receive particulars from the wrecked ship, some to receive friends and loved ones who survived from the wreck. The crew of the Kamerun was taken back to Monrovia, also the passengers that were going to Palmas and Since remained on board the Anna. Except a young woman who is at Mr. Grant's at this writing the young woman is the daughter of the late Mr. Week of Sinoe, and Mr. Stolte, who will go on to the coast by the first direct steamer. Captain and Mate Hang Around. Captain Hoff, the chief mate and chief steward remained in Bassa until the 17th, when they left for Monrovia. The apparent carelessness of Capt. Hoff of the Kamerun has already been referred to; also the disregard of his duty by the captain of the Anna Woermann; of the distressed state of the passengers and crew of a sister ship on the high seas. But what of us LF berians after the wreck? When the morning came the excellent steamer that sounded the alarm of distress the night before was sitting as it were in great pain upon a rock in the harbor, leaning upon its port side, and its aft deck was under water, the ford deck very high above the water, and the whole ship was now settled down upon the rock so that it could be boarded without danger. Thieves Have Good Time. Before the wrecked passengers got ashore it was said that men were planning to go on board the wrecked ship to take from it its valuable contents, although the very pitiful sight, the distressed spectacles sitting upon the rock demanded the assistance and protection of Liberians, being in Liberian water, in a Liberian harbor. But was that aid and protection forthcoming? It was, supposed that men would go in for free booty. The mayor of Buchann, at the request of the collector of customs, gave the collector the entire police force of the city, and even made special policemen for the collector, to assist in patrolling the beach and to seize whatever the collector ordered seized and put them in possession of the government. ```markdown ``` Goods Mysteriously Disappear Goods Mysteriously Disappear. It is said that it was done. All day long passengers' luggage, steamer furniture and cargo were brought ashore by looters, and much was seized and put into the government bonded warehouse, great quantities of it, they say, the first day, but before the morning came very much of it mysteriously disappeared from the government bond, and no account could be given of them. The warehouse men were temporarily suspended, but all is well now. No Respect for Official Notice. All day, all night, boat loads and canoe loads were taken from the wrecked steamer; all night there were fussing and fighting on the beach over the ill gotten booty from the ship, although the agent of the line printed and published notices that all persons were "forbidden to go alongside, go on board, or to take anything from the wrecked steamer, now on the rock, under penalty of being prosecuted according to law." But the work went on since the ship was not guarded. After Three Days. About three days having passed, the cruiser Lark steamed into harbor, having on board the Secretary of War and Navy, Hon. W. E. Dennis, and one hundred soldiers on their way to Cape Palmas. The secretary offered protection to the ship of the now almost frenzied captain and he gladly accepted it. Lleuce. Bracewell and a number of soldiers were given to the superintendent of the county to go on board and guard the wrecked ship. But it was quite late. If the government had put on this guard on the morning of the 10th all the after annoyances would have been avoided, and the good name of the Republic saved, as well as the citizens who abhorred the piratical appearance of some who declared that the wrecking of the ship on that rock was a "gift from God sent to the needy." On the following Saturday, 14th, it was observed that the steamer was sinking. On the 15th it was under water and all manner of things floated ashore, especially along the Edina and Kingsville beach. Lloyd'a Agent. The arrival of Lloyd's insurance agent on the ground made it somewhat interesting for many who had wrecked goods in their possession. He boldly addressed all who had the wrecked property that he knew of, even though he was a government official, demanding that the goods be brought up for legal disposition. This is now in progress. How much of it the agent will get to see, God knows, for it is reported that some of the goods are in divers parts of the Republic. Many Liberians are ashamed of the Andrew Carnegi $10,000 and Julius Rosenwil gives $500 to Christiansburg Industrial Institute. Cambria, Va., Nov. 22.—The treasurer of the Board of Managers of the Christiansburg Industrial Institute received recently a check from Mr. Andrew Carnegi for $10,000, and another check for $500 from Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago. Mr. Carnegi's gift was made in accordance with a promise that he would give the last $10,000 toward a fund of $50,000 to be used toward improvements and endowment of the Christiansburg Industrial Institute. The board having complied with its part of the agreement by raising $40,000, received Mr. Carnegi's check for $10,000, making a total of $50,000 for the benefit of the school. Of this amount $35,000 will be spent in buildings and improvements, and $15,000 will go into the endowment fund. Dr. Booker T. Washington Prompts Gift. The contribution of $800 by Mr. Rosenwald was made through Dr. Booker T. Washington, and was conditioned upon a like sum being raised. The members of the Board of Managers of the Friends' Freedman's Association of Philadelphia, under whose auspices the school is maintained promptly subscribed the amount necessary to meet the condition of Mr. Rosenwald's gift, making $1,600 available for current expenses. Fifteen years ago the Christiansburg Industrial Institute was organized. It started with three students. The property consisted of a half-acre of land and one building. Today the school has eight large buildings, three of them brick, and several small ones, and 185 acres of fertile soil. The total equipment including buildings, land and endowment, will amount to more than $100,000. There are 250 students attending the school now, 60 of them being boarders. Substantial Help from the North. What has been done at Christiansburg is an evidence of the practical working out of the Tuskegee spirit. Fifteen years ago three men from Tuskegee, with their wives, who were Tuskegee women, took up the work at Christiansburg. The hardships and privations which that little company endured will never be known. Two members have passed into the great beyond, the present principal of the institution, E. A. Long and his wife, are the only two remaining. "The workers die, but the work goes on." The faith which the northern men have shown in the school, their willingness to contribute towards its support and growth have been due in a large measure to the sacrifice and devotion of this first little company of workers. The school is a factor in the education of the colored people of the entire southwest section of Virginia. Eighty-one persons have graduated. Many teach in Montgomery and adjoining counties, others are engaged in various mechanical trades, learned at the school. UNION NEWS CO.

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. Wednesday night, Nov. 6, Mrs. Erina Jones, while on her way to the Illinois theater to see "Kismet," lost three checks endorsed to herself, between the elevated station at Adams street and Wabash avenue and the theater, but did not miss them until she returned home; but of course had no idea where or when she lost them. Thursday morning she got busy with the banks and had payment stopped, but at noon she was called to the phone by Mr. James Smith who is in the employment of the Cable Plano Company, and told her he had found the checks and would be glad to give them to her, which he did. Mrs. Jones rewarded the young man for his honesty and both separated feeling happy. LOSES EYE WHILE SPLITTING WOOD (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Shelbyville, Ky., Nov. 22.—Young Carl Hawkins, the only son of Mrs. Mayne Roman, while splitting kindling wood in the back yard last week, was struck in the eye with a stick of kindling and one eye was seriously wounded.

Limited Boarded by Robbers Near Ottumwa, Iowa—Porter's Nerve Saves Women and Children—Passengers Praise and Present Him With Substantial Purse—Outlaws Escape, but Chicago Police Hope to Capture Them. NO COLOR LINE WHEN Mr. E. G. Jacques and Mr. Zook Tell of Mr. Robinson's Heroic Actions—Former Gets $50 or Him, While Latter Tells Newspaper Men in Detail of His Bravery in Face of Danger—Take Cash and Diamonds—Refuses to Open Door—Angry and Up Against it, the Highwaymen Pulled Up the Trap and Sld Away Into the Darkness as the Train Neared the Station—Porter Gets No Promotion — Company Thinks Bravery Part of His Duty. --- Mr. Albert Robinson is the hero of the hour in railroad circles. Thrilling stories of a midnight robbery were told Tuesday by passengers on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway's Southwest Limited, which was held up Monday night between Ottumwa and Mystic, Iowa, by two bandits. The daring passengers boarded the train at Mystic and, after robbing a number of passengers at the points of revolvers, held them prisoners until the train entered the station at Ottumwa, when they dropped off and fled into the night. The loot amounted to nearly $350. The persons robbed were Andrew Young and J. G. Zook of Kansas City, W. F. Davis, the Pullman car conductor, and Albert Robinson, the porter. A Nervy Porter. Only the nerve and level headedness of Mr. Robinson, according to the passengers, prevented the looting of the entire train. A tribute to his heroism was paid by all on the train when Mr. E. G. Jacques, one of the occupants of a forward coach, collected a purse, amounting to more than $50, which was handed to Mr. Robinson before the train reached Chicago. The bandits boarded the train just as it pulled out of Mystic and leveled revolvers at Mr. Robinson's head just as the porter was in the act of closing the doors of the observation car—the only car looted. The porter had $5.50 in his pockets and this was taken from him quickly, after which he was driven before the robbers to the various compartments in the car. "Hands Up!" Stories of the sensational holdup were told to reporters when the train arrived at the Western avenue station several hours late. The narration of Mr. Zook was graphic. "Mr. Young and myself were playing pitch in our compartment," he said, "and thinking of anything in the world but a holdup, when two men appeared suddenly at the door. They were driving before them, in front of two pairs of revolvers, the porter, Robinson's hands were elevated above his head. "One of the men switched his guns onto Mr. Young and myself and shouted: 'Hands up!' "We both put up our hands without delay, taking no chances. The two words were all that I heard spoken. One man went through our pockets, while the other kept his guns on us. "They took $50 and a diamond ring, valued at $150, from Mr. Young, and got $72 from me. Then they drove the two of us and the porter in front of them into the rear of the observation car, where they had drawn the shades, and lined us up against the side of the car. "A moment later Conductor Davis came around the little bend in the passage and found two guns looking him between the eyes. He accepted the situation as best he could and put his hands up. They took about $31 from him. There were four of us, then, lined up there. "I can't speak too high," continued Mr. Zook, "of the nerve of Mr. Robinson. He was told to open the doors of several compartments adjoining ours, where there were women. Instead of doing so, he told the men that they were only occupied by two unaccompanied women, with babies, and that they had nothing worth taking." Refuses to Open Door. "Then they ordered him to open the door leading into the next car, so that they could go through the train. Again the porter refused, telling them the doors were locked and he could not open them. "They were angry, but they were up against it. Ottumwa was in sight. Then as the train pulled in they stepped quickly to the rear door, still keeping us covered. One pulled the trap and they dropped off." The timely thoughts and actions of Mr. Albert Robinson brings forth facts that have long been covered up. It is very discouraging when you know that this porter, no matter how long he has been in the employ of the company, will never be advanced to any better position nor given any consideration other than all of his race are awarded from railways. Mr. E. G. Jacques, who started a collection for Mr. Robinson, deserves great credit in an effort to reward him by a purse of more than $50. Mr. Robinson's actions are looked at as simply his duty by the railroad company. His display of heroism is not out of the ordinary among railway Popular Society Man and Lover of Dancing Takes a Vacation—Departed Tuesday. Mr. J. N. Blackshear, 3324 Wabash avenue, popular in social circles and considered one of the best dancers in Chicago has decided to take a vacation. He left Tuesday night; Los Angeles, Cal., is his destination. How long he will be away one knows. Meanwhile every social affair here will miss the dashing devotee of "the merry waltz." Mr. Blackshear is one of Chicago's most popular gentlemen, even in the office of the special assessment bureau, where he has long been a clerk, he is also a favorite. The Chicago Defender wishes him a pleasant stay in the "Golden State" and may the "goldhunters" help him to say "Eureka" when he returns home. IN CHICAGO AND SUBURBS (Continued from page 4.) The painting entitled "Two Disciples," by H. O. Tanner, the race's premier artist, was the subject of much comment by a large cosmopolitan crowd at the Art Institute last Sunday afternoon. The Men's Civic Club, an auxiliary of the Negro Fellowship League, was given an excellent lecture Wednesd evening by Dr. Kress, on the subject of "The Harmful and Evil Effect of Tobacco." He emphasized the very bad effect of cigarette smoking upon the young men. "Lon" Malone, who is perhaps one of the best known men around Chicago, tells the story that it was his brother and two others who were the cause of the "Jim Crow" street car being stopped in Louisville. He says his brother, William Malone, "Sus" Moody and Smith Baughman boarded the street car, politely asked the people out and then turned the little "humpty dummy" mule car in the gutter. This was in 1875, and there has been no "Jim Crow" street car in Louisville since. "Liberia in the Political Psychology of West Africa," is the title of the very comprehensive and exhaustive article which appears in the Journal of the African Society, London, England, by Hon. George W. Ellis of this city. So favorably impressed was the society that it published the article, not only in its monthly organ, but circulated separate pamphlets for general distribution. The article should be widely read. The literary clubs of the city will elect their representatives next week to enter the Essay Contest, which will be held at Bethel A. M. E. church, December 15.

Washington to The Century Magazine has provoked much favorable comment, because of its direetness and the vigorous Inn- guage employed. The following news- paper review is proof of the interest it has aroused and that it has been very generally read by the whites: “Is the Negro Having a Fair Chance?” ‘This is the question Dr. Booker T. Washington puts, and answers, in the November issue of ‘The Century Magazine. In all of Dr. ‘Washington's writings there cannot be found a stronger plea, going hand in band with a verile defense of his race, than appears in this article, and no question asked has been more clearly and convincingly answered. Comparing the chances of the dark peoples fn the old world with those In this country, he briefly, but ef- feotively, makes a parallel to the ad- vantage of the Negro in America, and then immediately Iaunches into a Aiscussion of the “unequal laws,” as- serting, with vigor, that the basic ‘cause of racial troubles in America rests in these “unequal laws.” To use his words, “reduced to its lowest terms, the fact 1s that a large part of our racial troubles in the United States grow out of some attempt to pags and execute a law that will make and Keep one man superior to an- other, whether ho is intrinsically su- perlor or not.” Lincoln sald that no man should govern another without the other's consent, Dr. Washington states this point, and proves it, even stronger, He adds: “No greater harm ean be done to any group of people than to let them fecl that a statutory enactment can keep them superior to anybody else. No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race, or because of his color, he will be advanced in lito regardless of his own merits or efforts.” With this sweeping, and self- evident trath as a foundation, he builds up an rgu- ment, clear as a bell, proving, beyond tho peradventure of a doubt, that the Negro’s fair chance in this country, stripped of all verbiage, and reduced to the last analysis, is more honored in the breach than in the observance. Handles Subject Without Gloves. ‘The very striking feature of the article is the ungloved, vigorous man- ner in’ which the doctor handles the subjects; railway discriminations, niggardly appropriations for Negro education, peonage,"and the barbaric practice of lynching. Upon these sub- Jeets his language is as bold as the militant’s, as uncompromising as the aggressive seeker for justice, but withal as sane as the statesman who plans, to insure permanency of re- forms, to karmonize all classes into a unity ‘mass without destroying, or re- strieting a fundamental right of any one class. Taking these four sub- Jects seriatim a sentence quoted from each is suffice to give some idea of the verility, strong, the unimpassion- ate, condemnation of these injustices, that features the article. ‘The article constitutes one of the strongest ar- raigoment of thoso who are gullty of these injustices, and the severest in- dictment yet penned by this dic- tinguished “educator, author and con- structive statesman, or by any of his contemporaries, white or black. Upon. the subject of railway discriminations he says: “With few exceptions, the railroads are almost the only great business: concerns In the south that pursue the policy of taking Just as much money trpm the black traveler as from the ite without feeling that they ought, aga matter of justice and fair play, tas a matter of social, equality, to give one man. for bis money Just as much as another man.”', ‘And then he proceeds\to show that ‘ Oa ae etree cee eet ae color, results in a heavy finanelal loss ‘to transportation companies. On the ‘subject of appropriations for Negro education ho saya: “It is only natural that the Negro in the south should fect that els UUntalry’ treated ‘when he as, a8 1 often true, in the country districts no school at all, or one with a term of to more than four or five. month taugt in a wreck of a log-cabin “and by @ teacher who is paid about half the price of a first-class convict" Race Pays.

Writer Censures Hon. Booker T. Washington for His Denunciation of the Champion—A Man's Choice of a Companion Is No Business of His Fellows—Is Proud of the Color of His Mother and His Wife—"It's All a Matter of Preference," Continues Our Correspondent; "It Is Wholly Private and the Concern of the Immediate Parties"—The Race Question Has No Part in the Jack Johnson Case, It Is the White Man's Trump Card. # By G. B. Aldrich. Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 22.—Editor Chicago Defender: Noticing a clipping from your paper in the Indianapolis Freeman of Nov. 9, an entone certain Jack Johnson, I want to say that of all the comments of the race press on this man's private affairs, yours is the most sensible. All the harping of the Negro preachers and papers about Johnson's love for white women being a slur on the colored women is sheer rot. The same thing was harped on when Douglass married the second time. Is a man to be forever bound by a fetish of race that is of no practical benefit to him? Whites Stand by Each Other for Pay. White men stand by the white race for two reasons. First, because it pays! And pays money! Second, because it pays! and pays money! and when it ceases to pay money in the form of office, place or power you find that same white man whooping it up for some downtrodden race, because it pays to be for the downtrodden at that particular time. Negroes don't stand by their race, because there is no pay in sight, as they are just like white men; they whoop it up for the white race because they think it pays, though what they expect in the Johnson case nobody knows. The race did nothing for Johnson and he did nothing for the race, except that the sporting element who bet on him won a little money. Even they did nothing to help Johnson to finance his battles. Johnson won his championship on his own merits; the race had no part in it, and if he had lost would have condemned him just as they are doing now. The cowards! A white woman is almost as good as a black woman, if one prefers her. I say almost, because I don't believe there is a woman in the world as good as my old black mother and my black wife. But I draw the line at the race butting in to criticise a man simply because he chooses his mate from the other side of the fence. I don't care what the white man thinks about it, nor the black man, for that matter, it's none of their business. It is wholly private and the concern of the immediate parties; and if one gets bitten, why he is bitten, that's all. What credit did Hon. Booker T. Washington get for denouncing Jack Johnson, when he himself was beaten up a year ago on a charge of sweet-hearting a white woman and, to judge by the court's decision, was guilty? Not that I believe it! Oh, no! But Mr. Washington made a common mistake in denouncing Jack. Let Jack Alone. Let Jack do as he pleases and don't criticise him any more than he deserves. The race has nothing at stake. I admire Johnson's grit, while I may think his judgment doubtful. If he loves the woman let him take her if he can get her. All this stuff of the Aldrich woman and the law and order league is buncombe, as the only object of it all is to revenge themselves for the loss of the world's championship to a black man, and secondly to intimidate the whole race of young men and boys into believing that'a white woman, however low, is too good for our best men. ```markdown ``` WILL Never Admit It. I never will admit it. A white woman is no better than any other woman, unless a man wants a particular one. When the white man is so greedy that he wants all the women all the time, plays two faces in the matter, why should we humbly submit to his dictates and jump on any and every Negro for not being as cowardly as we are? All men like fair women, as a rule. From the time nation, as Genesis says, when of God looked upon the if men and saw that they they took unto themselves ill now the fairer the female favor she finds in the female. cant make Whiteness. your black women in society white they are under the he electric light of the ball and made whiteness. Why? they recognize that partici-ness of men for fair women. --- Look at the wives/ of our leading men; what a large proportion of them have almost white wives and mulatto wives. Why? Same thing. The only reason white women do not figure as their wives is because they are too cowardly to go out and get them, from the highest down to the clod-hopper in the dull red soil of darkest Georgia. Men try to get lightest colored women they can, and in the North social ostracism and voxation keeps them from fulfilling their heart's desire; in the South, the rope! Johnson Shinnies in the Open. Johnson wants to shinny with white women who want to shinny with him, and what I like about him, regardless of the legality or immorality of his operations, is that HE MAKES THEM SHINNY IN THE OPEN before the public eye, while hundreds who are criticising him are shinnying in the dark and will get lynched just the same if caught. Black women don't need to be told that Johnson is slurring them, when he goes out after white women, for it is not so; because in such a case every time a man preferred one woman he would be slurring all the women who don't prefer him as well as those who do. Race has nothing to do with it. That's the white man's special little play to make us be good. The preachers, like false prophets hankering after the flesh pots of Egypt, are always ready to condemn what the white man condemns. "Ideal Porter" Meets with Accident on His Way Home—Wound Not Serious. Mr. Roscoe Jones, porter at Dornick Lettiere's buffet, 4952 State street, finished his work last Sunday night and started for his home at 36th and Wabash avenue but he met with an accident en route. At 4th and State streets he went into a place where he was formerly employed and his successor unprovoked, stabbed him in the cheek. The wound was not serious and the "Ideal Porter," as he is called, is again on the job. N. Y. ATTORNEY COMES TO HELP JACK JOHNSON. Mr. Gilhrist Stewart Sent By Equal Rights Associations to Help Defend the Champion. Attorney Gilchrist Stewart, of New York has arrived in the city to assist the lawyers engaged in the defense of Jack Johnson, who is to be tried soon in the Federal courts for an alleged violation of the Mann act. Mr. Stewart represents The National Association for The Advancement of Colored People and The Constitutional League of New York. "Jack Johnson is not guilty of violating the Mann act. He is being persecuted. The people of the world will know the truth when he is tried." Mr. Stewart was quoted as above in the eastern daily papers Thursday morning. When questioned by a Chicago Defender reporter in the afternoon he did not deny the statement. MYSTIC ORDER The third meeting of the Mystic Order of Navigators was held at Apollo hall Monday night. This order recently organized is attracting much attention. Mr. George Holt, A. F. Codooze, Samuel Prentice, Ph. D., Lilburn Jackson and other officers of the association say that the order dates back to Noah's ark. There are no assessments. One of their mottoes is to "do good while you live." Among other benefits they furnish a physician, trained nurse and medicine. Eighty members were present at the last meeting which met at 8 bells sharp. MISS BURROUGHS' NOBLE WORK. Washington, D. C., Nov. 22.—[Special]—Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president and founder of the National Training school, around which a new center of social uplifters have congregated at Lincoln Heights, D. C., has been filling speaking engagements in North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania and other states, drawing enthusiastic crowds everywhere. Plans for enlargement of the school's capacity are under way, and next season will see more ample accommodations for the mass of young colored women and girls who are anxious to receive the training that Miss Burroughs can give in the direction of self-support and practical home-making. The women's convention of the National Baptist convention gave $18,908 this year toward the development of this helpful institution. The Negro woman is doing her full duty toward the uplift of the race. Peaceful Beginning. A young barber was telling one of his regular customers of his recent wedding. "You but we had a good time at my wedding," he said. "Lots of young people there, a big crowd, and we had dancing and singing and lots of fun, and there wasn't one fight." When Is a Man Old?

We were pleased to have Mr. Alfonzo Johnson with us last Sunday evening. He is organist of Olivet Baptist church and is on a little vacation. Our dear little Kathryn Johnson paid us a flying visit Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. She made a very beautiful talk on missions Sunday night after the sermon. She was en route to Philadelphia from Louisville where she has been working as secretary in the office of the Foreign Missions Board. The office is now located in Philadelphia, Pa. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGA TIONAL CHURCH. Although Dr. Laurence was indisposed most of Sunday, the attendance meeting and evening was splendid. His morning discourse was eloquent and most instructive. He said in part: Text: Luke 10:23-24 Subject: "Despair Routed, Rouse Enthroned." Our age presents the greatest crisis and at the same time the most abounding hope the world has ever witnessed. These two statements may at first appear to be contradictory, but in reality they form a paradox which is every day being verified. But in order to appreciate its truth we must look around, take a circumstative view of the present lay of the land. Looking backward what do we see? Speaking in general terms we see the formation, rise, domination, decline and fall of empires and antions. Everywhere we see the old displaced by the new. In the realm of thought and its practical application to life, we surpass our forefathers and outstrip our fathers, and rightly so; if we fail to do so, ours is the greater condemnation. For the environment in which we find ourselves calls for the REV. EUGENE C. LAWRENCE. greater vigilance; but it also offers greater opportunities for efficiency in this our hour of watch. God has ordained that man should not stagnate. And this is seen from the fact that for every gain made a new resistance is offered. This has been the constant experience of mankind. Looking backward we see a long line of procession on the march from barbarism to civilization, from heathenism to Christianity. We see rise and fall of many nations and people; we see the establishment of the Christian religion and the subsequent restlessness that everywhere follows hard on its trail. While these gains were being made the ranks of the fighters were thinned and many times recruited. Each generation challenged by the achievements of its ancestors and forefathers, with a new prospective, were inspired to new activities and achievements. Looking backward what do we see? We see the little islands of Greece, touched and quickened by the most favored rays of God's sunlight, give birth to the first and greatest poets and orators the world has ever known; we see her flourish and become drunk over the sense of her prosperity; we see her put under a spell of stupor. But finally we see the Greek awakening from his stupor applying his genius for art and language to the tactics of war, and with his allies driving the dreaded and therefore hated Turk to desperation and humiliation. In a word, the finger of disintegration is never still; but, blessed be His name, the trend of Christianized human thought is continually upward and onward. Subject tomorrow, "Counteracting Forces," Text, Mark 6: 47-50. THE Y. M. C. A. HEADQUARTERS Rev. N. K. Clarkeston, an evangelist, was the speaker at the Y. M. C. A. meeting on last Sunday. He spoke from the text, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth." The meeting was very largely attended and a number of men signified their willingness to live a Christian life by the raising of their hands upon invitation from the evangelist. Mr. Julius Rosenwald has contributed again to another Y. M. C. A. for colored men. Announcement was made on last Wednesday that a new building costing $100,000 will be erected in Cincinnati for a colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Julius Rosenwald donated. $25,000 towards the building and a like amount was contributed by a Cincinnati resident. Encouraging reports come to us through the "secretarial letter" of November 1998. This letter is the compilation of data secured from the different cities that have had Y. M. C. A. building campaigns for colored men. The secretary from Indianapolis writes thus: "Our building is past the first floor and if God contends bless us with good weather we will have it roofed in about six weeks. We have a collecting campaign on at present and are securing results from it. Scientific management was considered by the employed officers of the Young Men's Christian Association at an all-day meeting Wednesday in the West Side Department building, 1513 West Monroe street. The topic of the day was "What should be the product of the Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago?" (a) Objectives of Physical Work, Herman A. Stotz, secretary of Sears Roebuck department; (b) Objectives of Educational Work, J. Goodwin Perkins, secretary Central Department, and (c) Objectives of Religious Work, Ralph W. Cooke, secretary Directive Street 1. M. C. A. Mr. P. C. Dix, state secretary Y. M. C. A. of Kentucky and Mr. L. Wilbur Messer were the other speakers. The December Bulletin, the official organ of the Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago, will contain symposium on "Some Concrete Results" that the Chicago Association have obtained in leading men to the Christian life through its influence. Several men from the Wabash Avenue Department have contributed to these articles. The Bulletin will be distributed free at headquarters, 3330 State Street. Dr. C. Hall, chairman of the executive committee and Mr. L. W. Tucker, secretary, have been invited by the board of managers of the Chicago Association to attend a dinner which will be served at the Sears Roebuck Department Y. M. C. A. on Thursday next. They will give a personal statement to the board showing the progress that has been made in the erection of the building, the collection of funds and the plans for the future organization and work of the department. The public is cordially invited to inspect the work that has been done in the erection of the Wabash Avenue Department Y. M. C. A. building. Stairways are now placed in the building so the general public can make thorough inspection. These inspections can be made very satisfactorily on Sunday, as a watchman is in attendance at this time. Smith Damron, Potter Craftsman, will deliver an illustrated address on "The Master Potter" Sunday at 4 p.m. See display ad elsewhere in this issue. MRS. BESSIE TROTTER CRAFT ENTERTAINED AT LUNCHON Brilliant Society Event—Many Unique Ideas in Entertainment. Mrs. Charles E. Bentley, 521 East 41st street, entertained at a luncheon last "saturation afternoon in honor of Mrs. Bessler Trotter Craft, sister of Editor Trotter of the Boston Guardian. Mrs. Craft is the wife of Harry Craft and they are residing at 65th and Vincennes avenue. The beautiful and palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. Bentley was artistically decorated for the occasion. Particularly beautiful were the two tables, where twenty-four charming maids and matrons were served with a ten-course dinner. Mrs. Craft was gowned in her wedding dress, which was white chiffon over liberty satin, with silver trimmings. Mrs. Bentley wore a beautiful lavender charmeuse, with velvet and lace trimmings. The luncheon was served in pump and style. Mrs. Bentley sat at the head of the table, with Mrs. Craft on the right, and Miss Ethel Murphy on the left. The luncheon was unique in that each guest was invited to read a sentiment upon marriage. During the service music was heard, and following the dinner Miss Murphy read the sentiments. Some were original and others were quoted from standard authors; some serious and others humorous. After the reading of the various expressions the guests voted as to which were the best. Mrs. Cecil Johnson Mozee was voted the first honor, and honors were also voted Mesdames Edward H. Morris, Myrtle Fry and the Misses Garbettia Tibbs and Helen Jackson. Those present were Messames Harry Craft, E. H. Morris, John L. Fry, Theo. Mozee, James A. Brent, Lawrence M. Jones, W. T. Jefferson, Geo W. Walker, Lloyd G. Wheeler, Samuel Evans, D. R. Lawrence, David Manson, Charles S. Washington, William Washington, David McGowan, C. S. Bentley, Elizabeth Easton and the Misses Edith Madden, Ethel Murphy, Corine Wilson, Helen Jackson, Garnett Tibbs, Bertha Young and Estelle Arnold. In point of brilliancy and style, it was the event of the social season. Elder J. M. Webb, the evangelist of Seattle, Wash., will lecture at Odd Fellows Hall, 3335 State street, Monday, Nov. 25, at 8 p. m.; subject, "That Moses, the Great Leader of Elder J. M. Webb. God, Married a Black Woman." Lecture Wednesday, Nov 27, at 8 p.m.; subject, "That Jesus, the Savior of Mankind, Was a Black Man by Blood." The elder will also make favorable remarks of Champion Jack Johnson. Books that give biblical references of each lecture will be for sale. Other lectures of this kind will follow. Admission 15 cents. Watch this paper for notice. Philosopher's Tip. "I was riding in the park with the great Carlyle one morning when his wideawake blew off. A working man very clyllly ran and picked it up. Instead of giving the man a pouboirie, however meager, Carlyle took the rear hatch with a bow, and said: "Thank you, man, for me. Say ye've picked up the hat of Thomas Carlyle." "That Fourth Generation," by Janet Ross. Abraham Lincoln In the language of the shop, the farm, the boat, the street, or the nursery, he told the high truths that reason and religion taught, and took possession of his audience by a storm of speech, pouring upon them all the brave plebeian soul, baptizing every man who with the people seemed more robust than they, and with kings the most imperial—Theodore Parker.

THOMPSON "Who will be the grand marshal of the colored division of the inaugural parade March 4?" is another great question that is becoming acute about now. Dr. E. D. Williston was "it" four years ago, when President Taft came in, and Registrar J. W. Lyons was the leader of the colored troops in the pageant which accompanied his predecessors up "the avenue." Hon. Charles D. Hilles, who served faithfully as chiefman of the Republican national committee through the recent campaign is back on the job as secretary to the president at the White House, and Hon. Carol A. Thompson, who took Mr. Hilles' place during the latter's absence, is to assume in a few days the duties of the office of treasurer of the United States. Arrangements are being made by President S. M. Dudley of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association and President R. W. Thompson of the National Negro Press Association for "An Evening With the Negro Press," to be held at an early date, under the auspices of the Bethel Literary Society. This splendid organization is doing "the work of its life," with Mr. Dudley as leader, and its sessions are always largely attended by our appreciative fellow citizens. The Amphilogee Club, directed by Prof. J. Henry Lewis, gave a fine recital Tuesday evening at Asbury M. E. church, for the benefit, of the Golden Leaf Club of the church. Dr. John R. Francis is the dental inspector for the colored schools. It is a source of gratification on the part of the parents and teachers that since he took hold of this work the teeth, and consequently the general health of the students, have shown perceptible improvement. Dr. Francis is able and conscientious young man and his labors have amply vindicated the wisdom of those who recommended him for the place he so happily fills. He is the son of Dr. John R. Francis, formerly surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's hospital, and one of Washington's oldest and foremost practitioners. Since Dr. J. E. Moorland and other Christian" workers have put up a $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building for colored young men in Washington, structures of similar cost and like equipment are either going up or well on the way in Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Louisville. Let the good work go on. Curiosity is finding out something about somebody else that don't concern you and which would make you mighty mad if somebody else found it out about you when it didn't concern somebody else.

Before marriage the shape, the figure and complexion carry all before them; after marriage, the mind and character unexpectedly claim their share—and that the largest—of importance.—Lord Melbourne. Bobbie, aged four, had always played with older boys and consequently had picked up much slang. Recently his mother had punished him by giving him a spanking. A little later, still weeping, he came to his mother and said: "Mother, don't you love me at all any more?" "Why, yes, Hobby, why?" "Well, I don't think that 'stunt' you pulled off just now looks much like it." Almost Limit of Foolishness. An old woman named Czabo, who was found dead in Budapest, left a will in which she set forth that all had money, over $5,000, should be given a dog. The animal was handed over to the relatives, who, it is said, will contest the will. The old woman had set a room apart for the dog. It was furnished with large mirrors and antique furniture upholstered in silk. Only the dog was allowed to enter this room. A thrifty husband and wife at Harrisburg have been attending different church on Sundays, each giving a nickel.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 22.-The Democrats in the United States Senate expect to "save their Bacon." We shall soon have congress on our hands. Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Charles C. Curtis, L. U. Moore, N. B. Marshall, Charles L. Barnes and others of the local Jeffersonians of color are pleased with the outlook. It is being quietly intimated that Prof. J. Gerald Tyler, now of St. Louis, may return to musical department of the Washington schools. While here Mme. E. Azala Hackley paid a high compliment to the Washington Conservatory of Music and stated that it was doing a marvelous work in aid of the development of the taste of the race for the standard music of the world. She urged the people here to rally and sustain the efforts of Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall to elevate the musical tone of the community. The local ministers are examining with great care the newly revised edition of the Bible, published by the American Baptist Publication Society. It is a radical departure from the King James edition and the revision of some years ago. In the new Bible the names of Adam and Eve are eliminated and "man" and "woman" are substituted, a direct translation of the old Hebrew names. The word omitted, the word "under world" being in its stance, is doubtful of the "old line" preachers of the Baptist faith will accept this revolutionary interpretation of the "Word." Dr. W. Bruce Evans, formerly principal of Armstrong Manual Training School, is visiting his sister in Boston. He is said to be in receipt of a number of flattering offers to take charge of high grade schools in the south and west. His son, Joseph H. B. Evans, a recent graduate from a technical school in Pittsburgh, until recently a temporary employee of the schools here, may be associated with him in any new work Dr. Evans may undertake elsewhere. Prof. J. P. Strickland, the newly appointed registrar of the treasury, is to be tendered a testimonial banquet next week by the Arkansas Club of this city. Covers will be laid for forty. The affair is to be held at the Y. M. C. A. building. Word comes that Edward Turner of Charleston, W. Va., who graduated a short time ago from the pharmaceutical department of Howard University, led a class of sixteen, all white save himself, in a recent examination to test his fitness to practice in the state of West Virginia. Since his graduation he has been employed by the Elk pharmacy, a white concern in his home town. It is by such feats as this that the race problem is to be properly solved. Mr. Joseph E. Johnson, an expert stenographer, formerly with Speaker Cannon at the capitol, has returned from New York city where he carried off honors as secretary to the colored department in connection with the Republican national committee. Miss Mamie Fearing and Mr. A. N. Scurlock were married Monday evening at the home of the bride's parents in Ledroft Park. Mr. Cyrus Field Adams is to remain in Washington. He is in receipt of a number of advantageous business offers and will probably embark in the world of commerce at an early date. Mr. Adams, after twelve years as assistant registrar, leaves the treasury with a host of friends who regret his retirement. Mr. Adams spent over $1,000 of his own money in promoting the candidacy of President Taft for renomination and re-election and got out one of the editions of his fine column at his own expense. Mr. Adams boots the brunt of the literary end of the Republican fight and his book, "The Republican Party and the Afro-American," furnished the ammunition for the speakers and writers who took part in the contest for Mr. Tatt. The National Negro Academy and the Fund Board will meet here in December. Col. Roscoe Coulking Simmons, well known in Washington as an orator of quality and an allaround newspaper man, speaks at Mound Bayou Monday following Dr. Booker T. Washington. The occasion is the dedication of the $100,000 cottonseed oil mill, promoted by a company of Negro capitalists, headed by the irrepressible Charles Banks. Dr. Washington is to press the button that starts the machinery of the oil mill for the first time. Brer J. C. Gilmor, the available editor of the Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate, will have his little joke even at the expense of the festive "leaders" of the nation's capital. Says he in the current issue of The Advocate (which, by the way, is a Bull Moose organ and is not afraid to confess it): "Let him who has criticised the hospitality of the Washington office-holding class give the nation's capital a wide berth now, for if tea and crackers or a beer and pretzels were the limit when the 'Black Cabinet' could look forward to years of undisturbed possession of the flesh-pots, what will the fare be now that their days are numbered?" Mr. Gilmor thinks a "glass of water and a toothpick" will be about the menu offered. Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds, is back again from a business trip to Atlanta, Ga. He has purchased an elegant mansion for his family at the corner of 15th and S streets northwest. Just So. Possibly the Reason Resolutions Too Fragile Setting Her Mind at Rest Maker All the Difference Didn't Seem to Sult Him. --- Almost Limit of Equalness "Pay as You Enter." BRAINS AND MARRIAGE THE POWER OF WOMAN. BY JAMES HARDING. "Well, wouldn't that make you tired?" called Mrs. Brill as she came out on her back porch and slammed the door sharply behind her. Her neighbor, Mrs. Graves, looked up in surprise, for Mrs. Brill was of a most unruffled demeanor ordinarily. Sitting back on her heels in the grass, she abandoned her pursuit of dandelions long enough to inquire sympathetically. "What would?" Mrs. Brill's pretty frilled dust cap fairly stands on end with indignation. "I've been trying to get Raymond's phone by school for at least half an hour. You know my sister and her little boy are coming up for the day, and, of course, Raymond wants to stay at home. Well, he's in the entertainment next week and I wanted to tell his teacher he'll be absent today and I wanted to find out about his costume. But do you suppose I could get that school? No. Indeed! And I tell you, Mrs. Graves, the phone service we have here now is something awful. There is a phone at the school, for I saw it one day. There is no number in the book and all I could get out of those girls was "We have no record." I tell you our improvement association ought to get after the phone service instead of putting up any more fancy street lamps." "Now, Mrs. Brill," expostulated the woman two doors away, who had suspended operations on her clothesline to listen and who stood drooping gracefully over the fence and rattling the clothespins in her apron pocket. "It isn't the fault of the telephone at all; it's the schools, or the school board, or something. Listen to what happened to me the other day. "I wanted to go down town early and get at the sales before the bargains were all picked over." related the woman two doors away. "I hurried so that I forgot to take the pigs' feet off the stove that were cooking for my husband's supper. He likes them once in a while and they have to be fixed just so in order to suit him. These were awfully nice ones and I wanted to cook them as long as possible. On the car I remembered that I hadn't removed them, but the gas was turned low, so they couldn't burn very soon. Well, I hurried to the nearest phone to call up Bobbie at his school and tell him to run over at recess time and turn out the gas. "But do you suppose I got any satisfaction? Well, I didn't. Oh, I was mad! Here I had planned on those sales for a month, you know, to get some furniture and hangings cheap for the porch. I didn't half look at what they had, just bought some things in a hurry and then rushed home. I was hardly in time either, for those pigs' feet were scorched. "Then my husband got mad. You know, John is awfully particular about what he eats. And I had to send the furniture back because it wasn't at all what I wanted." She paused a moment for breath and to enjoy the sympathetic community of her neighbor. Then, with a coquettish loss of her head, she continued: "We just just told him how it all was. You see my husband the superintendent of this districl real well. They down together on the 7:45 train real often. So he'll just fix it up at headquarters. The idea of not being able to phone to one's own child in a city of this size!" Mrs. Brill nodded emphatically at Mrs. Graves, who had gone back to hunting dandelions. Though ostensibly talking to the woman two doors away, she directed her next remarks straight to Mrs. Graves, whom she considered more or less a party to the misdemeanors of the city school, because Mrs. Graves had once taught in them. "That's just it," declared Mrs. Brill. "Now, in Spinshville, where my sister teaches, you can phone to anyone in any school, any time about anything. That's how it should be. Suppose somebody should die suddenly, or break an arm or something. You couldn't get word to the child in any way here." Mrs. Graves answered the accusation as she picked up the mutilated dandelions preparatory to going into the house. "Surely, every kind of message should be given and to every one of the thousands of youngsters in the schools just because some one might die some time. It would take several clerks just for that and the classes would be continually distracted of that?" "Well," pledged Mrs. Brill, "what do we pay taxes for?" "That's right," insisted the neighbor two doors away. "Anyway, my husband's going to see about it."—Chicago Daily News. Admire American Fashions American fashions have recently become very popular with the young men of Belgrade, Servia. There is an unprecedented demand at the local shops for hats, boots and other wearing apparel similar to that in vogue in the United States, and the American style of their cutting has come into favor. These innovations, according to the American consul, are the result of the exhibition of moving pictures of American origin.

"If it is true that care killed a cat," muttered Donkins, "then I say bully for care!" By nature Denkins was not at all blood-thirsty. He loved his fellow men and had been known to buy candy for bables, but he hated that cat. It was in the first place, a tramp cat, the sort one would be ashamed to claim as a member of one's family. No amount of cream and chops ever could have made it look like anything else than a mongrel. The family had intimated in every possible way to the cat that its presence was undestirable, but the animal remained oblivious to all hints. Denkins was appalled to realize the force of its sheer persistence. "Why, if I had one-tenth the persistence of that cat," he told callers one evening, "I should now be pushing Pierpont Morgan off the map or should be president of the United States. That cat has simply made up its mind to camp here and nothing can prevent it. If we lock it outdoors it claws open a basement window and if we lock the basement windows it ascends the woodbine trellis and sits on the bedroom window ledge and yoke or else raises the screens and comes in triumphantly. It approves of the box and grocer with whom we trade and nothing else matters. It is truly an awful thing to be adopted by a cat!" When the Denkins family decided to be away for some weeks, Mrs. Denkins announced that the cat must be killed. She said it was not human to go away and leave it to starve to death, as it surely would, if neglected. "Starve!" echoed Denkins, scornfully. "Why, that cat, dropped on a desert island composed entirely of lava rock and coral reefs and dynamite, would root out a living for itself." "I don't care," persisted his wife. "I wouldn't enjoy a minute of my vacation for thinking about the poor thing back here starving helplessly. You've got to put it out of its misery!" "Very well," agreed Denkins. "And that'll put me out of mine. I will chloroform it." The next time Denkins had a few moments to spare he assembled the wash boiler, a sponge and a bottle of chloroform and hypocritically called: "Kitty kitty!" Nice kitty! Then when the animal was trustingly within his grasp he deposited it in the boiler with the deep water. To his surprise the cat did not stuy the but came out as he withdrew his arm. He barely caught the escaping animal by the hind paw. It scratched wildly. "Here!" said Denkins severely. "You go back in there and stay!" Then Denkins learned something. The cover to a wash boiler is an inflexible object and raising it enough to get his arm out meant raising all one side of it. That afforded room for six cats to silip out if necessary. He let his arm hang inside as he meditated upon the situation and the cat scuffed about indignantly. Finally it planted its claws in Denkins' bare wrist. Denkins yelled and jerked out his arm. The cat came, too, and made a gray streak through the atmosphere. For two weeks after that whenever Denkins appeared the cat at once arose and with obvious dislike left the room. The speed with which it left depended in some degrees upon the speed with which Denkins pursued. Usually the chase ended in the cat's leaping to the top of the furnace, where it was out of reach. There its green eyes shone maliciously as it would sit and wave its tail and taunt Denkins silently. He could think of nothing else except killing that cat. So when he walked into the living room and found the cat curled up in a ball asleep in the very last chair he gasped with the suddenness of the thought that came to him. "Kitty," he said, "it strikes me that you would just about fit into a pail I'll see." Tiptoeing to the kitchen, he got a pail and the sponge and chloroform and with the sponge inside the pail he clapped it down over the cat and sat upon it. It was not a pleasant performance, but Denkins was a deep perate man. Finally he arose and removing the pail, surveyed his work "Aha," said Denkins, with much satisfaction. He removed the remains to the back yard, deposited them in a box, dug a hole and hastily buried the cat. Then in celebration of his victory he took Mrs. Denkins to the theater. Scarcely had they retired that night when Mrs. Denkins shrieked: "Look!" she cried, in a strangled voice. There on the window still sat the cat, gazing in reproachfully. "D-do cats have gh-hgh-ghosta?" shivered Mrs. Denkins, clutching her husband. "By George!" said Denkins, still staring. "My mistake was that I neglected to nail down the cover of that box!" "I think," said Mrs. Denkins, wearily, "that you don't need to bother about killing that cat after all. I guess it can look out for itself when we go away." Age of Superlatives It is the age of superlatives. Everything is either the biggest or the smallest. There is nothing just half way. It is either the biggest battleship in the world or the smallest Shetland pony. People are not content to entertain their friends with simple pleasures and pastimes as of old, but must have for them the most extravagant week-end party ever held. To say that a person is an average man is a direct and biting slur. He must be the most worst. Nothing is good any more; it must be positive, the positive and the comparative have been done away with. Home is not good enough; one must be traveling somewhere all the time—always on the wing.—Leslie's. --- THE GRAND. Last Half—Thursday, Nov. 14. Dol Bally, the cowboy, and Jan, the dog, did a very favorable comedy turn. Francesca Redding and company were a laugh from start to finish in their comedy playlet, "Sonora." Arnold and Kent delivered some good songs and dances. Lew Cantor and his Seven School Kids, in their musical comedy "Fun on the School Grounds," gave a pleasing act. First Half—Monday, Nov. 18. First Half-Monday, Nov. 18. The Five Howardes were great in their flying trapezoe and Roman ladder acts. This combination consists of two men and three women and their work to be seen is to be enjoyed. Carl Randall, a juvenile comedian and dancer, is a clean, up-to-date performer and well liked by the public. Ted Gibson and company gave the finest kind of a comedy drama to the frequenters of the Grand when they presented their playlet "After the Game." Every point was brought out most forcefully whether it was done in speaking or acting. Martin and Powell were very good in their singing and dancing sketch. The "Pekin Zouaves," the lightning drillers, a corps of thirteen men who can with all propriety claim for themselves the title of great or even greatest as a fit adjective to modify their name of "Zouaves," for they are wonderful, their movements are precision itself. The Grand orchestra under their estimable director, David Peyton, is using the William Tell overture. The interpretation given same by this small but splendid aggregation is such that the public never tires hearing this particular classic and the spontaneous bursts of applause is evidence sufficient of the people's appreciation. THE MONOGRAM Allen and Morton, the favorites of wherever they play, are the applause getters this week. And they richly deserve it as they are worth the price of admission and the best part these boys play is a game hard to learn, namely, "keep a level head, if you become a favorite." So few can wear the same size hat (figuratively speaking) after gaining a little fame. But Allen and Morton are the same dandy performers and both are quiet unassuming good workers. Billy Cumberk keeps the people interested with his funny songs and eccentric dancing, Reed and Carter are very good. The two Weavers are full of mith-producing jokes. Prof. Albert Johnson, recently of Indianapolis, Ind., is filling the position as pianist in the orchestra during Prof. William Dorsey's absence. Prof. Johnson is one of the foremost pianists of the race, having studied with several of the great masters in America and abroad. He is a decided acquisition to the ranks of our musicians in the city and it is a pleasure to know that he contemplates making Chicago his home and impart his knowledge of the piano-forte to aspiring pupils. THE PEKIN The work being given to those of the public who are frequenting the Pekin is very well received. And what more or less could be expected? Perrin, Saparo and Crosby are slowly but surely surrounding themselves with the necessary adjuncts to produce very favorable shows. Each succeeding musical gives evidence of better work to follow. The "Bogus Prince," the present week's offering, is better dressed, acted and sang than last week's bill and is by far more tangible. And now it is up to the management to surround these people with an orchestra (especially in the violin section) which will be of service to them. The lead in the orchestra is decidedly slow in the pick-ups which greatly rotates the work of the performers and causes (Oh horrors!) frowns on the faces of the actors. But that does no good. Their motto should be "grin and look wise," and better things will come. In Miss Crosby we have a dainty, dressy little lady and it is to be hoped the other ladies will profit by this hint and dress their bodies better and their heads and faces less. Success to Perrin, Saparo, Crosby and all the Pekin management. ```markdown ``` DANABEGAY. As ever brilliant and fruitful was the offering of Danabegay at the Oakland Music Hall, Tuesday evening, Nov. 19. A program of several interesting features prepared and brightened the vast crowd which gathered to do honor to the very successful promotor of Danabegay, Mr. Frank P. George, Mr. Jones, a graduate in music of Fisk University, gave as his contribution to the concert program two piano selections and proved beyond a doubt that he is an artist born. The gentleman possesses the power as a pianist to thrill and inspire all who come within the radius of his spell. His technique is splendid and his interpretations worthy of all praise. Mr. Jones is now a pupil of Prof. Clarence Eidam of the Cosmopolitan School of Music. Junulus Sayre in reading was much appreciated. Miss Rena Blunt, a young girl of fourteen years of age, sang in a surprising soprano voice two solos. The child is truly gifted and will by care truly gifted and will by care splendid soprano. But by many years is she too young to be before the public as a singer. True it is nice to display our talent, still one of such a tender age would do better to study harmony, theory, sight reading, languages and above all her school books until much later in life and then when the preparatory course is finished or to a certain extent learned it will be a certain time to turn her thoughts to voice production. Mr. Henderson Bowen sang in an uncultivated but sweet tenor voice several songs and was well liked. Madame Annabelle Cook, a lady with a wide range, did well in her solos. Mrs. Cook has an excellent quality of voice but poor articulation and phrasing lessened her ability greatly. The intermezzo from "Cavaleria Rusticana," played by the violin quartet, Messrs. Elgar, Wilson, Lee and Miller, was very good and received much applause. Mr. George C. Hall, a robust tenor, sang with much dramatic power, in fact too much power, several classic ballads. A too pronounced tremolo caused a painful flattening of tones as did the very throaty quality of the lower notes. Mr. Hall has good lung power and it is to be hoped he will not entirely ruin his fine voice by giving so little quality and so much quantity. Mme. Lillian Lee Ingram sang her numbers nicely. Mr. Fran. P. George in his dramatic rendition of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was a revelation. The sketch has been rearranged by our popular violinist, Miss Sinchale White. With all the artistic worth it is possible to give a reading did Mr. George present the above mentioned sketch to the audience. The orator is indeed splendid and when everything possible commendatory is said of Mr. George's art one feels himself lacking in the giving of worthy praise to this man. The accompaniments for the singers participating in the program were played by Miss Blanche Logan and Mr. Alexander Taylor who are second to none in their work. At the close of the entertainment Prof. Garfield Wilson became the "power on the throne" and discoursed sweet strains to which the vast assemblage danced for at least three hours and then left for their several homes praising Garfield Wilson and voting Frank George the "prince of entertainers." TAYLOR PUPILS' RECITAL A small but appreciative audience witnessed the recital given at the St. Thomas Guild Hall, Tuesday evening, Nov. 12, by the piano pupils of Mr. T. Theodore Taylor and voice pupils of Mrs. Martha B. Anderson. Among those present in the audience were numerous representative musical leaders and they were loud in their expressions of approval on the work as taught by the teachers of the recitalists. As a teacher of piano Mr. Taylor is thorough, and he has and is accomplishing a method of tone production among his pupils which is absolutely necessary to all pianists but which in nine cases out of ten is neglected. The tone referred to is the beautiful singing tone that perfects the pianist for the art of accompanying, which by the way is the most difficult phrase of instrumental music. But the art is being most successfully used by Mr. Taylor who is himself one of its most competent exponents. The pupils displayed most assiduous training. Especially noticeable was the work done by Mr. Cecil Bradshaw in playing the Lyric Suite, Opus 43, by Grieg. The young man gives promise of marvelous work to follow. Mrs. Martha B. Anderson must needs be proud of her efforts as a teacher of vocal art, for Mr. Raymond Dawson in his solo "Greeting," by Hawley, his tones are well focused and his breathing controlled which all reflects much credit on madam. The program was in every way acceptable and each number a positive proof of the capabilities of the instructors. With such teachers in one's own race it almost seems a lack of intelligence and is an indifference to the power of unity when persons f the race will go out of their own way to give their financial strength to other races. THE LADIES' MINSTRELS Great preparations are being made to give in the near future a ladies' minstrels under the auspices of the Emmanuel Charity Club. Further notice in next issue. A LINE OR TWO. Babbie Kemp is in the city. He has had a successful season out west and is en route to New York. Mr. Marsh Craig, 3602 Forest avenue, the famous contortionist, is in the city this week making arrangements to start on the road Dec. 9 with the Kelley minstrels. Mrs. Hattie Edwards-Pryor will leave Tuesday, Nov. 26, with Mme. Jennie Watts-Brown for Kansas City where she will appear with Mme. Brown in four recitals as soloist and pianist. Mrs. Pryor, who is yet unknown outside of the music world in her home, Columbus, Ohio, promises to make her first appearance in Kansas City come up to the expectancy of all who are fortunate enough to hear her. The Semi-Continental Jubilee Chorus rehearses each Sunday at Grace Presbyterian church, 34th and Dearborn street, from 3:30 p. m. to 5:30 p. m. The chorus is to render "inflammatus," by Mozart, and "Hall, Bright Abode," from Tannhauser, at Orchestra Hall on New Year's afternoon in conjunction with the celebration of the 50th anniversary of emancipation. You are urgently requested to join the chorus. Jas. A. Mundy, musical director; Cornellius Pierce, assistant director. Misses Bessie Belle and Lucretia Knox are in the state of Michigan in vaudeville and report great success. Miss Careta Day is in the city, after being away for several weeks in vaudeville. Miss Lula Coats, who has had a female partner in vaudeville, is now alone, save the two boys who work with her. Mr. Frank W. Cornwell, who has been the recipient of a flattering offer from a prominent local music publisher, is a song writer of recognized merit. SIMMS AND THOMPSON IN VAUDEVILLE.

Lovers of music enjoyed a rare treat Tuesday evening when Miss Frances Galloway appeared in a piano recital at Olivet Baptist church. It was her first appearance in public but her remarkable natural ability, together with her splendid training at the Chicago Musical College, of which she is a graduate, resulted in one of the most enjoyable recitals given in many days. The program was of fashionable length, the large audience was generous in applause. Miss Galloway's is a master hand. A reserve to be expected on a first appearance will in time be overcome, and Chicago will have another star in its galaxy of gifted-musicians. Masonic Hall Crowded Tuesday Night at the Annual Autumn Dance of Eighth Regiment Ladies' Auxiliary. The popularity of the members of the Eighth Regiment Ladies' Auxiliary was attested Tuesday night when Masonic hall was crowded at the annual autumn ball. It was one of those rare evenings of enjoyment—it was like a large home party. There was no formality about it; everybody knew each other and everybody had a good time. Lovers of the light fantastic enjoyed themselves until the wee sma' hours when they reluctantly had to leave the entrancing strains of the select orchestra. It was the first of the season's social functions and it was a successful one. THE WASHINGTON PARTY. We trust that our readers will not confound the Washington tea party with the Boston tea party for although part of the Washington are from Boston they don't feel like they should thrust Boston on woolly Chicago so suddenly. The party given on Friday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Mable Washington on Bowen avenue was a huge success, each lady on entering the house had to remove her shoes and a pair of Chinese sandals were given her; then a Turkish stool was in waiting. Each lady received a pot of uncolored South Carolina tea which was imported from Summerville especially for the occasion. The ladies all expressed themselves as being highly pleased with the home-grown tea, and will use it in their homes in future. Miss Connie Handcock entertained the ladies with a solo which took the house by storm. Mrs. Julia Thompson was spilled on the floor, giggling, with another lady whose name our reporter could not get or could not see on account of the mad rush to assist Mrs. Thompson to her feet. The Washington were forced to bring a rocking chair for her as she refused to use a Turkish stool ever. MR. J. PARIM CAN Thursday morning Mr. Parhm, 47th and Evans avenue, out run a north bound Cottage Grove avenue car, which had a minute start of him. Before the car had reached 46th street he had overtaken it and swung on. The newsboys and a number of people were wondering what the cause was. Later in the day it was learned his clerk got drunk. Mr. Alexander Wilson, who recently came here from Denver, murdered his wife Mary in their flat at 3339 Forest avenue early Wednesday morning by cutting her throat with a razor. He then slashed his own throat with the same weapon: Both were dead when the police arrived. Jealousy was supposed to be the cause. BABY LINDON BURTON HYRAM GROWING NICELY. The little Hyram heir is reported to be making the usual progress that all normal and healthy infants make. He is being reared on a strictly scientific basis, in that he is fed at regular intervals, weighed after each feeding is not unnecessarily handled by the eager friends and relatives, who would soon spoil him. The christening of little Lindon Burton Hyram will take place very soon. PHIL H. BROWN GETS GOOD JOB. (Special to the Chicago Defender). Louisville, Ky., Nov. 22.—Phil Brown, who had charge of the Publicity Department for the Republicans at Chicago this fall is in the city, and will secure a good position from the hands of his friends "higher up." Mr. Brown is remembered as doing some very clever work for the Taft campaign National Republican Committee. His wife, who was reported ill, some weeks ago, is much better. THE NINETY AND NINE. Little George Martin Likened Unto the Lost Sheep in the Hymn, When He Is Forgotten on "L" Train. A pathetic demonstration of the familiar hymn, "The Ninety and Nine", is told in the finding of little George Martin, 3822 S. La Salle street last Tuesday on the 39th street station of the Elevated railway. The little fellow's mother had consented to let him accompany Miss Frances Bell, who lives at the same address, on a trip down town. It seems that Miss Bell, for the time being, had forgotten the child, for as she passed from the train to the platform the gate was closed, leaving him on the train. Realizing the situation she demanded of the guard to let the child out, but it was too late. The guard told her to wait for the next train. Miss Bell, by this time greatly excited, hurried to the 35th street station and made the report of her loss. A lady on her way to choir rehearsal had seen the incident and came to George's rescue. She sacrificed more than an hour of the time allotted to choir rehearsal in caring for the little fellow. He was taken to Grace Presbyterian church, where he thought of a person by the name of Wiley, whose telephone number disclosed George's mother's whereabouts. Mrs. Martin was summoned to the phone, unaware of what had happened. Upon being told of her son's plight, she understood the speaker to say the boy was in the hospital, which caused the sad mother to swoon. She was finally revived and when assured that her child was in the custody of the choir members, she became calm again. Mrs. Martin, when interviewed by a reporter from The Chicago Defender, sent thanks to the choir for their kindness. She knows they are all good Christians. As the kind lady led George to choir rehearsal the organ pealed forth the familiar hymn, "The Ninety and Nine." FIRST PREMIUM GIVEN AWAY THANKSGIVING NIGHT AT H. A. SHAW'S HAIR STORE.

The critical eye of a conscientious orthographer was attracted by the sign above a Third avenue luncheon, and he went in to set the proprietor right. "Yes," said the lunchroom man, "I know sandwiches is wrong, but you see that sign attracts a lot of smart Alecks" into the store who want to teach me how to spell and after they come they usually stop long enough to order something.

WILL Preserve Aged Tree On the Canandalgaia lake shore highway, at Tichenor Springs, stands a venerable tree, which, experts declare, is not less than eight hundred years old.

Not Always Easy to Perceive A Pennsylvania farmer, over one hundred, declares that to work hard will prevent people from growing old. Work comes as near being the panacea for every ill as human experience can supply, but unluckily it is a blessing in such a deep and dark disguise that very few can recognize it when they meet it.

Woman's Sense of Honor. On this point women are still not entirely in agreement. "Sense of honor?" said one young woman to whom the question was brought up; "Women's sense of honor? They haven't any." On the other hand, an older lady—one who is wise through long and sweet living—answered, "Sense of honor? Of course women have it—as high as any man's. Only—I should want to choose my woman." Where, then, does the truth lie?—Atlantic. Too Many Babies Born? Can we not see, right here in our own surroundings, that altogether too many babies are born now? Better by far fewer babies, and these well fed, well clothed, well cared for physically, morally and mentally—if we would expect a strong, hardy race. If race suicide is ever checked it will not be by bringing into the world ill-fed, poorly clothed, worse fathered children, but rather by well-directed efforts to save the children who die unnecessarily.—Dr. George T. Finch, in Leslie's. Comfort in the Thought. Patricia possesses the four-year-old's usual aversion to water for cleansing purposes and is most sparing of its application to her small face. The other evening before going to bed she gave her reflection in the mirror a careful scrutiny and remarked: "Well, my face is pretty clean. I believe it'll do for tomorrow." Conscience Inspires Aid A Yonkers clerkman, whose name was not made public, advertised for the owner of a man's watch lost and found in North Broadway three years ago. The minister said a recent convert of his church found the timepiece and his conscience was pricking him. It appears to be necessary for the people to do a great deal of scolding and to engage pretty continuously in strong-arm work for the purpose of getting what is theirs. Skeleton of Ancient Warrior.

HAPPENINGS IN THE CITIES Worked as Tailor by Day and Burglar by Night Clinging Gown Nearly Costs This Man His Life Ancient Egyptians Used Our Up-To-Date Styles Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett called a great mass meeting Sunday night last, where 2,000 citizens passed a resolution at the Negro Fellowship reading room, 2830 South State street. The case of Jack Johnson was discussed at the meeting at which Mrs. Barnett presided. The resolution adopted follows: "Whereas, Through the sensational exploitation of charges against Jack Johnson great injury has been done to the civic, industrial and business relations between colored and white citizens of Chicago, leaving no means of defense for innocent victim of this intensified race hatred save an appeal to the public. HAPPENING THE CITY Worked as Tailor by Da CHICAGO—In the daytime Joe Graeber, thirty years old, undersized and agile, sat cross-legged in his little tailor shop at Twenty-sixth street and Northwestern avenue, and stitched with industry. He worked hard and was acquiring the reputation of being an honest and thrifty tradesman. But at night Joe Graeber, the tailor, became another man. The deft needle work was dropped and forgotten and instead and quite as skilfully, Joe welded the "dimmy." In the daytime Joe's needle went in and out ceaselessly. Joe himself went "in and out" as industriously at night, the police say, and quite as silently. Graeber himself says tailoring paid about as well as burglar work and at neither could he pay his rent. The sharp, frosty crack of something that might have been ice under foot, and again might have been glass ATLANTA, GA.—Form fitting feminine fashions—and you all know what they mean—a six cylinder automobile and a stranger in our midst from the country were the dramatist personae in a fall curtain opener that electrified pedestrians on the Whitehall vaulted at the luncheon hour. The play turned out humorously, and it is probably that all the cast are living happily ever afterward. Just the same, the gentleman from the country gazed for a moment over the brink of eternity. It all happened at the crest of the noon halt in business. At the Alabama street end of the vaulted the throng was thick and busy. There came along, with the grace of a Godiva and clad almost as saugly as one, a member of the feminine population of 'Atlanta adorned in the extreme fashion of today as it applies to the softer sex. You understand about those tight skirts, of course. Well, the young woman had on a tight skirt, and then some. It was as though she were poured into it—above and below meridian, torso and all. This vision was nearing Alabama street when across the vladuct strode a sturdy specimen of the best geomany that Georgia produces. He had half way negotiated the streets, congested at best, when The ECPYTINI LADY 1912 BC SAN FRANCISCO, CAL—Inspired probably by the recent highly successful fashion show of 1912, in which was displayed the very latest progress of sartorial art, from double decked coifures to diamond heeled slippers. Professor A. L. Kroeber, curator of the Museum of Anthropology at the affiliated collages, arranged an exhibition of fashion in retrospect, with considerable emphasis on what they were wearing in Egypt and such places in the fall of 1912 B. C. The exhibition was thrown open to the public, and the weary husband who thinks his wife looks queer in her new French togs that cost none but husbands know how much should go out that way. With Kipling, he likely will say:— "Resolved, That we appeal to the public for the presumption of innocence which is every man's due, to use press for respite from his most harmful of sensationalism, and to the government flicks to subordinate prejudice to principle and to try their indictments in the courts and not through teh newspapers." Johnson was arraigned yesterday on charges of having transp' d Belle Schreiber from Pittsburgh to Chicago, Milwaukee and Detroit for immoral purposes in violation of the Mann act. The Negro pleaded not guilty. Judge Carpenter granted his attorney three weeks in which to file demurrers to the indictments. NGS IN IES and Burglar by Night breaking, attracted the attention of Patrolmen Stevens and Muse, in Northwestern avenue, near Twenty-seventh street, about 2 o'clock in the morning. Just across from where they stood were two stores, and between them was a narrow passage. They watched silently in the shadow of a building, and did not have to watch long. The sound was repeted, and after a moment's silence a shadow that seemed a part of the wall of the building separated itself from the entrance of the dark passage. "Here, you—up with your hands—I'll shoot," commanded Stevens. The shadow molted back into the passage and became a noise of running. A second sharper command brought Joe Graeber, the tailor, to a halt. "You know me, boys, don't you, boys?" he said. "You scared me so I run." Stevens and Muse looked with surprise into Graeber's face. They both knew him and said so. But they couldn't understand why the honest tailor should be just what Graeben was. Under the circumstances, however, he was searched, and a very good "jimmy" and a patent glass cutter were found in his pockets. Graeben confessed. He said he tried to pay rent tailoring and couldn't so he took to burglar work at night. Vision crossed his horizon. As though hit by the buck ague, he came to a dead stop in his tracks—something like a pointer comes to a full stop and points game. He was enthralled. Swat! Swish! Crash! He was plastered against one of the plate glass windows of a viaduct clothing store. A six cylinder machine, going at really a moderate gait had lunged into him. Bystanders who had witnessed the play dashed quickly to his assistance. He "beat them to it." Swiftly he scrambled to his feet. With one jump he recovered his hat; with a light ning stroke he pulled down his coat which had covered his head in transit He wasn't hurt, a bit. But scared! Before kindly help reached his side one long, continuous streak spoke of his disappearance down toward union station. "We are very slightly changed From the semi-apen that ranged India's prehistoric day." Professor Krosber and his assistant, E. W. Gifford who gives the lecture, are of the opinion the change is less than slight, and they have proceeded with a delicate sense of irony to contrast some of the new styles with the old. There is a plaster cast of an Egyptian lass wearing one of those gowns that begin to hobble right at the neck and never vary all the way down, except as nature asserts itself. This effect is popular, also, in 1912. The women of Crete were wearing corsets about the same time—four thousand years ago. They have such a corset in the museum, and it looks like one of a pair of puttees worn by a stout cavalry officer. One whole glass case is labeled:— "Secrets of Beauty, Past and Present." Inside there is a quite modern "lay-out" of rouge, powder and mirror, and alongside lie the implements with which some dusky Cleopatra touched herself up to win an Antony's praise and admiration. Hampton, 10; Lincoln, 6. Hampton, Va., Nov. 15.—Brilliant playing of the greatest college game, cheered on by the vast throng of visitors, alumni and students, Hampton took the scalp of Lincoln in one of the greatest, snappiest games ever witnessed on the Normal School gridiron. the vast throng of visitors, alumni and students, Hampton took the scalp of Lincoln in one of the greatest, snappiest games ever witnessed on the Normal F. A. Young. School gridiron. After some fierce playing, Hampton worked the oval into Lincoln's territory, where a beautiful forward pass by Bender, George C. Jones went across the line for a touchdown. Franklin F. Jamison kicked goal. Score: Hampton, 7; Lincoln, 0. The second quarter started with the same determined playing from both sides, Hampton's defensive work being weakened by the inability of Bender to come up to his usual form at the punting game because of an injury to his foot, received in the recent game with the Howard University eleven. The oval was worked to the thirty- yard line, where Fred Bender booted the oval between the uprights a few inches over the bar. Score ended second quarter: Hampton, 10; Lincoln, 0. The third quarter resulted in a no score for either side. Lincoln in the last quarter by a series of rushes worked the ball to Hampton's five-yard line, where, with their followers cheering for their team to hold, Hampton held for three successive downs, but over-anxious, they were penalized for off-side playing. Lincoln secured the ball and made a touch down, but failed to kick the goal. The game ended with the ball on Hampton's twenty-five yard line. Final score: Hampton, 10; Lincoln, 6. Notes of Hampton Game. Two Lincoln players, Captain Henry Collins and Frank Gauss, and two Hampton players, James E. Scott and Captain Clinton E. Warner, were members of the All-Star Football Team of 1911. The officials of the game were Henderson and Robinson, both of Washington, D. C., also members of the Interscholastic Athletic Association. The weather was ideal. A fine crowd turned out. Music was furnished by the Hampton Roads Cornet Band, under the management of J. Wirt Robinson. Shaw University will play on the Shaw University will play on the Normal grounds Thanksgiving Day. Mr. Cliff French writes from Toronto, Canada, of a youth living there named Gordon Simpson, holder of numerous medals as a spinner and a football player. Mr. French says: "As a spinner he is at his best in the century dash. At the Olympic tryouts last summer he entered (without having a chance to train), along with sixteen in the hundred metre run and led the field for seventy-five metres, when he fell, finishing fifth. Simpson later beat the best cracks that represented Canada on the Olympic teams, but was denied a place, prejudice being the cause. This year he surprised everybody by announcing his intention to play football and on his merit he landed a position on the Ottawa team, which ranks with the best. The first two games in which he took part were won by some sensational runs by him and his injury in the last games caused Ottawa the honor of being winner in the first division. Mr. Simpson is at present living in Ottawa and holds a position in the government service and is a member of the Y. M. C. A. He has decided to train now so as to be able to compete in the next Olympic games. Howard Drew. At New York, Nov. 9, in the games of the St. Agnes A. 9, C. Howard Drew won from Alvah T. Meyers of the Irish-American Athletic Club in a special 70-yard race. Drew negotiated the distance in 7 2-5 seconds. Drew has been charged with professionalism, but claims he can prove the charges are false. He will play football with the Atlantic Boat Club against the Springfield Boat Club. Since the charges have come out he claims that some one who is interested in the Springfield Club is desirous of hurting him. Baseball. The Athletics are still winning from the Cubans. Have the Cubans played themselves out or have they grown careless since landing back on their native soil, or is it because Pierce and the other members of the Americans went west with Rube Foster instead of to the islands? Billiards. The Jap player, Yarnada, hasn't any chance to win to the international match which is being played at the Hotel Astor, but he pulled off some of the most daring plays that have ever been seen on the green cloth. His victory over Hope by three points set the billiard world to thinking, but like all players, he plays in streaks. When in form he delights in masse shots and brings applause from the crowd by his daring work and his nervy execution. It was another piece of beautiful and fascinating manipulation although always graceful. Dr. Young's "Northwestern eleven" is looked upon to win from Illinois today. We hope so. Our good wishes are with him and his work. Farrell Jones, quarterback on Lake light weights, is not the only colored boy to play quarterback in fifteen years in this city on a high school team. Jess Wright played quarter at Wendell Phillips regularly, and Leslie Pollard afterwards alternated with Walter Steffens at North Division. Henry H. Lewis Jr. is the star player on the Central High at Buffalo. N. Y. Mr. Lewis is a cousin to cur- noted banker, Jesse Binga. Central has not lost a game. The All Stars. On October 27 Leslie Pollard's All Stars won from Kenosha Athletic Club, 14 to 0. Touchdowns—Miller, Fred Pollard. Goal from touchdown—Geo. Helm (2). On November 3 they took the Racine Athletics into camp, for the first time in four years, by the tune of 12 to 3. Some of the Racine players were ex-stars from Wisconsin. Davenport of Chicago University was referee at this game. November 10 at Waukegan they won from the Waukegan A. C. 21 to 0. Touchdowns—Miller, L. Pollard, Fred Pollard. Goals from touchdowns—Helm, Fred Pollard (2). November 17 at Rogers Park baseball grounds the All Stars added to their list by defeating the strong Central A. C. 14 to 0. Touchdowns—Miller (2). Goals from touchdown—Helm (2). The features of this game were the open work of the All Stars back field and the stone wall defense of Bob Johnson, Young, Taylor and McCleland, and the all around playing of A. Johnson and Dammels. These are all former college stars. They will play the Silver Swans at Rogers Park tomorrow at 2:30, and Thanksgiving day will play the colored Western Stars at Schorling's American Giants park. The Western Stars have won fifteen games and lost none. Go and root for our Chicago boys. Game starts at 1:30; plenty of time at home for the turkey dinner. Thanksgiving day the game will begin at 1:30 p. m. The Western Stars vs. Pollard's All Stars at the American Giants' baseball park. Admission 25 cents; reserved seats 35 cents. FOOTBALL SEASON CLOSES WITH SATURDAY GAMES. Moseley and Motley of Englewood High; Jones of Lake High and Hall of Evanston Academy Make Good. By Julius N. Avendorph. Inasmuch as the football season closes on next Saturday, I want to say a word relative to or about four of our young colored men playing regularly, and subbing on high school teams, namely Mosley and Motley of Englewood high school, Jones of Lake high school, and of Hall of Evanston academy. All of these young men are playing, unfortunately on weak teams, nevertheless they are putting up a good game such as is necessary to attract the attention of the leading critics in the sporting world of the city. Mosley, who cherishes the honor of having made a touchdown two weeks ago against Oak Park high school team, champions of the Cook County High School League in 1910, 1911 and 1912, has developed into one of the best ends in the league. His playing is consistent, fast on getting down the field on punts and his tackling is hard and low which is essential in sure tackling. He is a good defensive as well as an offensive player. Young Motley, left halfback on the Englewood high school team, has developed into a good hard line bucking halfback. There is an art in playing halfback that can rarely be taught, it is more of a natural attainment; that is to say, the man playing halfback must have some natural ability for the position. Motley is a sure ground gainer and hits the line hard and low. There is every reason to believe that there two players will be the main stability of the Englewood team next season. Motley has shown such rare ability, yet he was a sub until this season, that there is no doubt about his playing halfback next season. Young Motley backtrack at Lake high has made an unusual in football. The quarterback is the keynote to the team, and that has been conceded by all the leading critics in this country. It is true, every player on a team has a position to fill independently of every other player, but there is not a position on the team where as much damage can be done from the quarterback, as he directs every play and promulgates the signals. That position requires a man of good judgment, cool head, fast and above all things he must be a quick thinker. This is, I am sorry to say, Jones' last year at Lake, although he intends to go to some college where he will have every opportunity in athletics. Hall of Evanston Academy is a big, rugged young fellow who will in another year be a power in his team. He plays right end and is one of the best in the league. I had no knowledge of this young man's athletic ability until two weeks ago when he saw him play against Morgan Park team. He shows the making of a good man. He is fast and sure in tackling. He is subbing on the team, but has every assurance of being regular next season. There is one advantage of being a star player on a weak team, notwithstanding every player likes to be on a strong team, his star work will show up so much brighter than when all stars are together. Of course, we have every reason to be proud of these young athletes, as they are our representatives and from the very fact that they are on the teams is an evidence that they are as good, but it is also an evidence that they are a few points better than their opponents for their respective positions; and another reason why we should be proud of them is that the elements of prejudice is even worse than it was a couple of years ago. With that condition existing in the high schools and colleges, it is proof enough that the colored boys playing on these teams have won their positions by being the best and without their services the teams would be much weaker, and it also shows that these young men have determination and nerve to be in the mix up. Being on a weak team is without doubt a big handicap, that is, unless through luck to some extent the player has made an unusually good record, and in a good many cases when his record is worthy of a place on the first, second or third all star team, he is overlooked. I will not attempt to pick an all star team this season, but I will make a selection of a second team. When such men as R. A. J. Shaw, Lou Pollard, Robert Wheeler, Lloyd Wheeler, R. R. Jackson, Al Hackley, Will Smith, BenJ. Gray, myself and others, were active in athletics we had no one who was interested enough, and possibly that might be attributed to the fact that we had no athletic critics, and if we did, they took no interest farther than as mere spectators, consequently our encouragement came only from the love we had for the game. Therefore I claim that the colored athletes should at least appreciate the owner of The Defender for the space given to them, whether they appreciate what is said about them from time to time or not. We have no hesitation in saying that the most of our readers enjoy this department, as there is not a week but what we get communications from far and near commenting favorably on our interest in the colored young men in athletics. BILLIARD CONTEST AT BRUNSWICK HOTEL Much interest is being manifested in the billiard handcourt contest which has been going on at Brunswick hotel, 3004 State street, George Holt, proprietor. Eight of the best amateur billiard players are in the contest, the winner will play the best players in Louisville, Indianapolis, Springfield, Milwaukee, Detroit, Buffalo, Duluth, Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland, Washington, Baltimore and New York. The winner of all the contests will be presented with a gold stick pin with a diamond setting. The contest here closes this week.

Wednesday reporters for The Chicago Defender and Mrs. Lou Ella Young, representing the T. E. Butler club, visited the hospital. Mator's message to her friends was: "Tell all my friends that baby and I are very thankful for their assistance and that I will be able to sit up on Thursday, and that they can come and see me on Sunday." Railroad Men Aid. Meanwhile The Chicago Defender's appeal for Aid for the unfortunate girl was meeting with a generous response in Mackinaw City, Mich. The railroad waiters and porters running into that city had been interested in the case. They collected $11 for her. The letter, containing a list of the contributor, is printed above. It is understood that these men have decided to reward another contribution. School School to Give Benefit. Wednesday evening, Dec. 11, the pupils of the W. L. Jackson Music school will give a benefit for the little girl, the entire proceeds to be given for her relief. See the advertisement in another column. The T. E. Butler club also plans an entertainment in her behalf. The Chicago Defender understands that many other clubs and individuals have collected funds and clothes for little Mator and it would suggest that they come together in a joint meeting, appoint an active committee, for NOW IS THE TIME THAT THE CHILD NEEDS AID. In the general course of business The Chicago Defender came across this case and it has given it the publicity that it needed. We will continue to publish all the facts until Frank Chaplin is convicted of his outrageous crime and his little victim is freed from want. There Is No Reason for Envy. Some have claimed that the Chicago Defender wants all the glory. Such a statement is absurd. The funds paid into this office or the relief of Mator McPerrin have been deposited in Jesse Binga's bank. Our cashier holds two certificates of deposit, one for $7.61 and another for $11, and any person or persons duly authorized to care for her can secure them at any time. Persons desiring information other than what is in the possession of The Deiender, are referred to Attorney Richard E. W. brooks, who has been placed in charge of the case by Judge M. W. Plinkey. His office is on the second floor, southwest corner 30th and State streets. Culprit Still in Jail. Frank Chaplin, the guilty white man, is still in jail on a charge of bastardy. His trial was continued to Monday, Nov. 25, 9:30 a. m., in the Court of Domestic Relations, room 902, City Hall, Washington and La Salle streets. AFTER THE CEREMONY. When a woman marries a man who promises to do better as a husband than he did as a sweetheart, he generally does worse.—W. L. Baston. Then the case of Fred 4. oods, indicted for murder in/ the Criminal court for the killing of a prominent saloon keeper on the west side, deserves particular mention. This case occupied the attention of the Criminal court for a whole week. No one thought that Woods would escape the gallows, on account of the atrocious crime with which he was charged committing, together with Ollie Hubanks. While the jury was out deliberating bets were freely made that both Woods and Hubanks would receive the extreme penalty of the law—death; but Attorney Anderson's argument to the jury was so strong and such a masterpiece of eloquence and of legal ingenuity, that when the jury brought in a verdict of only fourteen years everyone, including Woods' mother, was dumfounded, the-brother of the deceased remarking that the jury was a disgrace to Chicago. The able manner in which Attorney Anderson handled this case, from the time of the commencement of the trial to the conclusion, brought forth congratulations from everyone. Attorney Anderson cited forty different decisions from as many states in support of his argument. Chicago Examiner Sends Him South, Attorney Anderson was paid a high compliment when the Chicago Examiner dispatched him to Virginia last August to plead for the life of Virginia Christian, sentenced to be electrocuted for the murder of her mistress. He pleaded eloquently for two hours with the governor and had the time permitted it is said he would have saved her life. Then the case of Thomas Jennings, the "finger print case," deserves mention, and the ablo manner in which Attorney Anderson handled this case will go down in history as one of the greatest legal battles ever fought on the north side in behalf of a colored man charged with an atrocious murder. Attorney Wright and the Bozzo Case. Some of the notable cases won by Attorney E. H. Wright are the following: Antonio Bozzo, an Italian, charged with murder for the killing of Joe Carlo, husband of Annie Carlo, the "Queen of Little Italy." At the conclusion of a five days' trial in this case Judge Clifford and the state's attorney who prosecuted the case both complimented Mr. Wright for his able and eloquent argument, which resulted in the disagreement of the jury and the release of the defendant after serving one year on the subsequent trial. The case of Frank Rocco, another Italian, charged with bigamy, in which case the first wife, who had been left in Italy, came to this country and appeared at the trial, together with the second wife, and after a hard fought battle the jury brought in a verdict of "not guilty." The Anthony Hughes habeas corpus case related to an escaped colored prisoner from a southern penal farm. The governor's warrant had been issued for his return on extradition to the state of Mississippi. Mr. Wright made such a hard fight, presented the law so thoroughly, that Judge Tuthill quashed the governor's warrant and released the prisoner, who sent for his wife and family and is living in Chicago today, a free man. William Jones Is Saved from Being Lynched. William Jones was another escaped colored prisoner from the south who was liberated through Mr. Wright's efforts. He was wanted on requisition from the governor of Alabama. Mr. Wright brought habeas corpus proceedings before Judge A. C. Barnes. On releasing the prisoner Judge Barnes announced that when he issued the writ he fully expected to remand the prisoner for deportation to Alabama, but after hearing the argument of Attorney Wright and the presentation of the law he would be derelict in his duty and unfit to be a judge if he did not discharge the prisoner. That was the first prisoner ever released by Judge Barnes on habeas corpus proceedings. Mean Man Betrays Steve Green. Every one will recall the celebrated Steve Green extradition case. Steve Green had escaped to Chicago and so a colored man, hearing of a reward, had "turned him up" for a paltry sum of money. This case was handled jointly by Attorneys Wright and Anderson. Steve Green had been ordered back to Arkansas and had gotten as far south as Cairo, when, through the legal ingenuity of these two brilliant lawyers, he was taken off the train just as the train reached Cairo, returned to Chicago, and after a hard fought battle before Judge Tuthill was discharged for the alleged murder of his boss. This case excited considerable interest at the time and to Attorneys Anderson and Wright poor Steve Green owes his life today. The Defender has watched this case with considerable Interest and we feel assured that if Attorneys Anderson and Wright have the future handling of it Jack Johnson will come out victorious in the end. Attorney Anderson's office is suite 5, Methodist Church block, southeast corner Clark and Washington streets. BENTON HARBOR RESORT TO BUILD COTTAGES Benton Harbor, Mich., Nov. 22.—The stockholders of the Benton Harbor resort held a meeting last Saturday night at the Appomattox Club with a view of securing subscribers for building cottages at the resort. It is the intention of the stockholders to build cottages at the resort and make it one of the prettiest summer sorts in the country. President Cowan is much pleased with the interest being manifested in this direction. Next year greater interest will be taken in the resort than ever and many improvements will be made under the administration of Mr. Cowan. Some people get so used to living in the past that they hate to get up in the morning. LUCILE JAFFON AND HER MOTHER In the Swift Storm of Modern Life Minneapolis Soon Became a Village for This High-strung Girl—Chicago Drew Her as a Magnet Draws Steel—She Soon Learned the Twists and Turns of State Street and of Its Gilded Temples of Pleasure—But Newspapers Called Her Innocent. HOW CAN YOU SAVE WHAT IS NOT LOST? Mother Resorts to the Hysterics of the Stage in Her Spectacular Newspaper Attempt to Reclaim Her Child—Case Presents Many Features—A Lesson for All Races, Creeds and Kinds—Members of the Race Looking Upon the Pictures Should Remember the Unfortunate Girl in the County Hospital. Here are the pictures of two women, a mother and a daughter; a mother given to the hysterics of the stage and the vain imaginations of an overwrought feminine zeal; herself, according to the papers, not unacquaintable with adventure. And the daughter, heralded everywhere as a way ATTORNEY W. G. ANDERSON. ATTORNEY W. G. ANDERSON.

"I Am White; Beyond All Law." And yet there is a lesson for all; for mothers and daughters everywhere; for black mothers and white mothers; for white daughters and black daughters, and for men also; even for the manly gentleman who made up to a consumptive colored girl in a Chicago hospital, put her in child-way and hung out his sign of superiority: "I Am White; Beyond All Law!" Knew the Ins and Outs of State St. Jack Johnson has never been accused of seduction, whether practiced against woman white or black. Lucille Cameron knew the turns and twists of State street before she knew the outs and ins of Cafe de Champion, and in the first blush of truth, before the press blackguarded her into error, she confessed the innocence of Johnson. The lesson for Mrs. Cameron-Falconet and all mothers is that attention to daughters in the early years will prevent sorrow in the end. For daughters everywhere the lesson is the wages of sin is death, and virtue needs no defense of a wicked press, nor the guard of police. Lucille Cameron was a Minneapolis girl. In the swift storm of modern life she lost her footing. Minneapolis became soon a village, too small for adventure and too large for the peace that the cup of wine knoweth not. Chicago heard upon the lips of the wordly wise as the heaven for earthly angels, and she made her way to her heaven. The mother had married for the second time and Lucille Cameron was a step-daughter, without the strong but affectionate hand of a father. BANK'S GREAT BUSINESS SHOWS IT GROWING FAST Institution Headed by Jesse Binga, the South State Street Banker, Enjoying Continuation of Old Prosperity. "The Commercial Chronicle," a paper devoted to commercial and banking interests, in its issue of this week (Nov. 21), refers to our only banker, Mr. Jesse Binga, in the highest terms. Among other things, is said: "As an instance of Chicago's banking growth, perhaps no better illustration is to be found than that offered by consideration of the institution headed by Jesse Binga, the well known South Side banker and financier. Mr. Binga's bank is located at 3633 South State street and in this location it has greatly prospered. Bank Develops Neighborhood Busi-ness. "The development of this section of the city may be largely attributed to the influence of this financial house. A reliable bank, well managed, may be called the foster-parent of its community. It not only furnishes a nucleus around which the business interests of the section can assemble and operate, but, on the other hand, it creates a standing fund which is al- "roll into the nson.

Colored people looking upon the picture, and remembering the bitterness of recent events, in which a whole people have been nalled to the cross, will know that they must move carefully in the future when they are called on to condemn one of their own upon the testimony of harlotry. Mrs. Cameron-Falconet herself has retaught that virtue is a thing not so rare after all, and that the sting of vice takes into account neither race nor color, nor habitat of mortals. ways open to the launching of legitimate new enterprises. The presence of such a fund makes business expansion possible in that community. Bank Long Established. "Mr. Binga has been in business in his present locality for a number of years, and has seen the business interests of that district grow up about him. His keen business acumen has been at the service of his patrons at all times, and many a flourishing South State street business house owes its present place of power and influence to the aid received from this bank. Mr. Binga Favors State Control. "This bank is fully intrenched in its assets. Its management is at once progressive and conservative. It offers unexcelled inducements to depositors and customers. It is an institution which the neighborhood could not do without. "Mr. Binga is heartily in favor of state or federal regulation of private banks. He believes that the best results could be obtained under such a system." INNOCENT INFANCY. When you call your child in and ask him if he is going to do that again you may be assured he is going to lie and say no.—W. L. Baston. Toledo, Q., P. board of Warri church gave an oyster supple home of Mrs. Louise White Tate day evening. A special benefit concert was given Monday evening at Friendship temple for Miss Eva Jones, who has been quite ill for some time. Miss Jones has been a faithful church worker for years. Mr. Frank Saunders left Wednesday for a visit to Chicago with relatives and friends. The Y. W. club of the Third Baptist church met Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. Winlock, 307 Illinois street. We wish to call the attention of our readers to the new printing establishment at 109' Ontario street. This is an enterprise launched by three of our hustling young men—B. Harry Fisher, Wm. H. Harrison and Howard Kirk. This gives us an opportunity to show our race pride or the lack of it. Mrs. Marie Stewart of Chicago is visiting her sister, Mrs. Robert Morgan of Erie street. We notice at this writing that Mr. M. E. Auther has made quite an improvement on his home on Indiana avenue by raising and putting a cement block foundation under it and by adding a bath room and a beautiful porch, which adds a great deal to the beauty of the home. Turner Tandy, the agent of this paper, will leave Wednesday for a week's visit at Cincinnati, O., his old home, after an absence of 15 years. But The Defender can be secured as usual at his shoe shining stand in Mr. A. M. Clemens's tonsorial parlor and at Jackson and Vaughn's ice cream parlor. Toledo notes will be published just the same. Mr. Wm. Clemens will deliver the paper to my regular customers while I am away. Mr. A. M. Clemens, while not entirely recovered from his recent illness, is able to be about town. We hope for his speedy recovery. Mrs. M. B. Auther met with a very painful accident last Saturday evening by running a nail nearly through her hand, from which she is suffering great pain. Several weeks ago the Toledo club, having become dissatisfied with white bellboys, took on a crew of colored boys. This is the first time they have employed colored bellboys in about 12 years and we hope that the boys will do their best to make good, as the club is going to build a fine new building on Madison avenue. While the boys make good money now it is thought that it will be much better for them when the new building is finished. Mr. and Mrs. Auther will spend Thanksgiving down in the country visiting their cousin, Miss Edith St. Clair at Dolo, O. Mrs. Charles Roberts and her mother, Mrs. Hurst, were called to Detroit Tuesday, having received word that her sister, Mrs. Leeks, was very ill with typhoid fever and was not expected to live. We are proud and delighted to see the many homes our people are buying here of late and the vast improvements they are shaking on them and hope that others will catch the fever and keep the good work up. DR. ISAAC RANDALL PASSES AWAY Venerable President Emeritus of Lincoln University in a Peaceful Death After Forty-six Years of Service. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Oxford, Pa., Nov. 22—The voice of national education in general and of the whole race in particular unites to tell us that Rev. Isaac N. Randall, D. D., president emeritus of Lincoln university, Chester county, Pa., has entered into his rest. This prince of preachers departed this life Saturday morning, Nov. 16, in his eighteenth year. Lincoln university is the oldest organization in the world founded for the liberal and classical Christian education of the race and was established in Lower Oxford, Chester county, Pa., in 1854, by Rev. John M. Dickey, an honored Presbyterian minister, and was known as Ashmund institute. The day on which Abraham Lincoln was assassinated Rev. I. N. Randall was on the train going to assume the presidency of Lincoln university, which position he filled with unparalleled honor and efficiency until June, 1906, when, against the most earnest desires of the trustees and alumni he resigned. His relinquishing the presidency did not lessen his active cooperation in the welfare of the institution. He still held the professorship of polemics and taught with as much vigor as ever. He was the oldest living ex-college president in the United States, having served Lincoln university forty-six years. To him belongs the credit of holding back the tidal wave of industrial education, a craze which threatened to reduce all our learning to mere manual and industrial training. His position was that as the white race must have higher trained men for leaders, so must every other race. If the student is the measure of the teacher, then, truly, a prince has fallen our midst. Said Dr. B. T. Washington: "The race and the American people owe a great debt of gratitude to Lincoln university. Some of the strongest, most useful and most widely known members of the race have been graduates of Lincoln university." FIREMAN LOSES LIFE IN FIRE. Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 22.—(Special)—Three persons lost their lives in a fire that partly destroyed the Hotel St. George on November 19. Fourteen were injured. A mother, frantic from the flames, dropped her baby in a hallway. It was badly burned and will die. The dead are Mrs. Harrington, Joseph Martin, both white, and Julius Malone, who was night engineer of the hotel. Live in one and rent the other.

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 city homes. The New Amber Glow Light breaks all world's records. It yields a measured volume of full 157 candles of genuine Amber colored light while burning a trifle less than $ \frac{1}{4} $ of a cent's worth of gas per hour. This is more light for less money than science has ever deemed it possible to produce.

To help introduce this new light we are now distributing an "Amber Glow Book." A book that is full of intensely interesting and astounding facts. It tells why Amber light enhances 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.
