Allen Von Behren, a military graduate, 23 years old, son of a welfo-do manufacturer, walked through his father's factory last Saturday morning and without warning shot down three members of the race. THE DEAD Walter Washington, 23 years old, East Tennessee street. Henry Gordon, 22 years old, 2307 4th avenue. arena. John Gordon, 19 years old, his brother. It all happened in less than five minutes. John Gordon was the first to fall. The Gordon boys were members of one of Evansville's most highly respected families and were both college graduates. Mr. Washington was also an intelligent man and the trio had many friends. Were Not Armed. Not one of them was armed. Two of the men, John Gordon and Henry Gordon, were shot through the head; the third, Walter Washington, was bored through the heart, but ran after he was shot and the young man fired five times more. The killing was the direct result of race prejudice in the factory. Men of the race had been placed at work beside white men. Young Von Behren had appealed to his father, who believed in race equality in factories, to have them discharged. Immediately after the shooting, which threw the 200 men in the factory into a panic, young Von Behren walked into the company's office and changed coats. He left his pistols in his office coat. Then he jumped into his father's automobile and rushed to police headquarters, where he gave himself up. Pleads Not Guilty. Von Behren was given a preliminary hearing on three separate charges of murder that afternoon. He pleaded not guilty and was held to the Circuit Court without bail. "The Negroes were trying to run the shop and I simply would not let them," Von Behren told the police. "I killed them to save myself. Of the three men I feared Washington most. I would have killed him first, but the two others were handiest.

Workmen Paralyzed with Fear. To wipe out the members of the race that he did not like Von Behren, who was assistant foreman, went into each department of the big factory, picking out the man he wanted and shooting him down at his bench without saying a word of warning. While he was killing the Gordons the other workmen, white and black alike, stood by paralyzed with fear, but when Washington fell the whole factory force fled. The factory was closed and guards were posted to see that Negroes did not burn it. The police closed all Negro saloons and dispersed 200 Negroes who were at the morgue making threats. "JIM CROW" CAR BILL IN ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE. Campbell of Xenia Offers a Sensational Measure on Lincoln's Birthday. Springfield, Ill., Feb. 14—A "Jim Crow" bill has been introduced in the Illinois senate by Senator F. C. Campbell of Xenia. The measure is the first of its kind ever before the legislature. It was introduced on Lincoln's birthday anniversary and caused great excitement. The measure directs that railroads must provide separate coaches and Pullman cars for passengers of the race and white passengers on all regular trains and that the conductors must keep the passengers in their respective cars. A prominent citizen has informed your correspondent that this Mr. Campbell is a native of South Carolina and only recently emigrated to Xenia. THE EMPTY PURSE.

Hampton, Va., Feb. 14.—The Princess Sakado, when she was beotrothed to the present Emperor of Japan, was about fifteen years of age. She was immediately withdrawn from the Peeresses' School and private tutors were appointed to teach her subjects calculated to fit her for the dignity of the position she had so unexpectedly been called upon to fill. Her father built a new suite of rooms for her residence so long as she remained unmarried, and exquisitely furnished them throughout especially for her. There she lived in solitude during the nine months previous to her marriage to the Crown Prince, eating, all by herself, the meals which had been cooked just for her and served on dishes that had been bought for her sole use. From the day of their marriage, on May 10, 1900, to the present moment, Yoshi-Hito and his wife have been inseparable companions. Much to the consternation and disapproval of the old fashioned courtiers, the royal couple have eaten together, driven together, and attended functions together. The new Emperor always insists that his consort shall enter the carriage ahead of him and gives her similar precedence at other times. It must be added that this is not mere surface politeness, engaged in for show. His Majesty accords the same courtesy to the Empress Sadako whether in public or in private. It is superfluous to add that she is the sole consort of the Mikako, he having consistently refused to take advantage of the centuries-old privilege of having subsidiary wives. Three children have blessed their union. The eldest, the present Crown Prince, is Hirshito Michi-no-Miya, a little over eleven years old. The second son, Yasuhito Atsuno-Miya, was born on June 25, 1902. The youngest, Nobuhito Tero-no-Miya, was born on January 3, 1905—Saint Nihal Singh in the Southern Workman. WHITE MUSICIANS ENTER RACE RANKS—TROUBLE Local 208 Admits Two White Members—Mgr. Young Objects—Case Discloses "Jim Crow" Features and Causes Considerable Concern. There is quite a star in the affairs of the musical world among the colored musicians of Local 208. There promises to be quite a complication if matters are not straightened out soon. It all happend on account of this local admitting two white musicians as members. One of them is playing at the Washington theater, State street, between 34th and 35th streets. Charley Young is manager of this playhouse and he doesn't like the complexion of this musician, so he has circulated a petition to have him "fired." There was a suspicion abroad that Will Dorsey and Al Kelly were interested in this move, but the suspicion proved to be unfounded. In an interview with the president of the local, Mr. J. Edward Smith, he says that such a step would be very injurious to the interest sof the organization. They have had a hard fight against discrimination themselves and succeeded in allying it only through the persistent efforts of Major Robert R. Jackson on the floor of the N. F. M., and the unwavering support of Mr. W. R. Winkler, white, president of Local 10. The majority of the members and all of the officers are opposed to any interference of this manager so long as these white musicians are capable and render the proper service. Local 208 is a flourishing organization. It has an efficient staff of officers. Mr. J. Edward Smith has been its president four years. Mr. William E. Berry secretary, Mr. George Bailey, a musician of wide reputation, corresponding secretary, and Mr. James B. Tucker, treasurer, noted for his unequalled efficiency. ON A "HIKEN" FROM MEXICO. Special to the Chicago Defender. Mexico City, Feb. 14.—Among the 600 United States citizens that were compelled to flee from here on Thursday were Dus Langford, Bass and McKissick. A Mr. Brent, brother of Mr. Joseph Brent of Chicago, was also in the party. So closely were they pressed by the rebel soldiers that their only possessions were the clothes upon their backs. Their Chicago friends have been notified of their flight. MME. ANITA PATTI BROWN CHICAGO'S "EMPRESS OF MELODY." Winning Laurels in British West Indies—"Barbados Globe" Gives Her Great Praise, Special to The Chicago Defender. Barbados, B. W. I., Feb. 14—In its last issue the "Barbados Globe" lauded Mme. Aniti Patti Brown, Chicago's empress of song, as follows: "Mme. Aniti Patti Brown—This charming soprano is still winning hearts nightly by her miraculous warbling in song. Such singing, such chirping—so plaintive, so descriptive—leaves one to wonder to what regions the human voice may eventually soar. Madam Brown is happy in her classic numbers wherein all the beauties of rhythm and technique of which she is richly stored, can have fullest sway; but Madam Brown is happiest when toying with the familiar airs of long ago, when lingering on strains which touched the hearts of devils generations ago, when whispering in song words with which our forefathers wooed and won. On Sunday afternoon she will unfold her repertoire of sacred melodies for the benefit of a public with no where else to go. We should not be surprised to see even a fuller gathering than any yet that have greeted her locally." HAMPTON INSTITUTE CELEBRATES FOUNDER'S DAY General Samuel Chapman Armstrong's Birthday Celebrated with Exercises That Bring Out Many Prominent People. Y. M. C. A. BUILDING DEDICATED. Story of Hampton Tradesmen—The Meaning of Hampton—Robert Bacon of Boston Elected to Trustee Board. Special to The Chicago Defender. By Wm. Anthony Aery. Hampton, Va., Feb. 14.—Founder's Day at Hampton Institute, celebrated in honor of Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong's birthday, brought together a most interesting group of wideawake men and women, representing important interests in education and public life, for the study of vital problems relating to rural school and rural life improvement. State superintendents of public instruction were present from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Virginia and West Virginia, to hear the successful supervising industrial teachers of both races in Virginia report on their aims and methods in bringing new life to men, women and children in the country districts. Dr. Wallace Buttrick, secretary of the General Education Board, New York, told the large company of Hampton visitors that in his judgment "the greatest single force for the blessing of the people, white and black, in the South" has been Hampton Institute. D: Wickliffe Rose, executive officer of the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission, showed the relations of Hampton to the fundamentals in the education, life and civilization of the American people. On the evening preceding Founder's Day, Mrs. Ellen A. Weaver, who is the younger sister of General Armstrong, told the interesting story of Samuel Chapman Armstrong's boyhood. Mrs. Weaver recounted many entertaining incidents of young Armstrong's boyhood training, among the lovable, care free, improvident Hawaiians. In all his play and work, through boyhood and manhood, on every occasion, Armstrong was genuine, spiritual and open minded. He was always impatient with pretense. "To be rather than to seem" was Armstrong's motto. Founder's Day Address. Dr. Henry Pitt Warren, who for many years has been the head master of Albany Academy, Albany, N. Y., showed how naturally General Armstrong had been trained for his work at Hampton Institute. Student Y. M. C. A. Building. Clarke Hall, the new thirty-thousand-dollar Y. M. C. A. building, was dedicated to the use of Hampton Institute students on Founder's Day. Walter R. Brown, president of the school Y. M. C. A., reviewed the work of the student association; Charles B. Randall, a Hampton graduate, told of his pioneer Y. M. C. A. work in Brunswick County, Va. William A. Hunton, Washington, D. C., senator secretary of the Y. M. C. A work, declared that Clarke Hall should serve as the social center for the boys; should develop men. in the expression of their religious life; and should train an army of laymen for religious work. SKELETON ARISES IN THE NAPIER- CHURCH AFFAIR Chicago Defender Correspondent Wants to Know How Many Times the Late "Bob" Church Was Married? HOW MANY TIMES WAS HE DIVORCED? Records Yellow with Age Have Been Resurrected—Did Mr. Church Contribute Anything to Charity—Mr. Napier Goes to New Orleans. Special Dispatch by a Staff Corre spondent Memphis, Teun, Feb. 14.—The case of Mrs. Laura C. Napier vs. the "Bob" Church Estate is not yet on the calendar for trial. As told exclusively in The Chicago Defender, Mrs. Napier of Vancouver, B. C., accompanied by her husband, are in the city to contest the will of her father (the late Robt. R. Church), whose death is still the topic of conversation wherever members of the race meet. Since my last dispatch the only unfortunate move in the famous case was the absence from the city last week of Mr. Napier. He went to New Orleans to visit Mrs. Napier's mother. It was reported that she would return with him, but the writer cannot verify the statement in this wire. Meanwhile there is considerable discussion about the case. I have visited everywhere. Individuals, churches and other organizations, and "Bob" Church is always discussed. "R. R." or Mr. Church is unknown here, so to the readers of the Defender, he will be known as plain "Bob" Church, and in some quarters of the city that name is a magic one. Old Records Produced Old Records Produced. Today I learn that in a safety deposit vault of one of the local companies are deposited marriage records from New Orleans, made long before the war. They are yellow with age and were procured at considerable expense to Mr. Napler. Along with them are records from Fisk University, where Mrs. Napler was educated. White citizens, also those of the race, are discussing the question, "What did Mr. Church do for charity?" Everyone knows how his dollars were made and many condemn his methods. Then it is said, "How often was he married and how often was he divorced?" Skeleton in the Closet. A skeleton arises. There are many rumors of an unknown who will appear in court and tell of associations in the long ago, that together with the records to be produced will cause a great sensation. In a short time the Chicago Defender will publish a complete history of the whole family and of the business career of the late "Bob" Church. The present fight narrows down with Mrs. Napier and the late widow as contestants. CYRUS FIELD ADAMS. IN THE CIVIL SERVICE Washington, D. C., Feb. 14.—(Special.)—Mr. Cyrus Field Adams, author of "The Negro and the Republican Party," the official text-book for race voters, who bore the brunt of the literary end of the fight for Taft among the people of the race during the last campaign, has been covered into the civil service by executive order issued a few days ago by President Taft. Mr. Adams is to be assigned to duty in a congenial birth in New York City. The honor is worthily bestowed and is a handsome recognition of meritorious and effective service, at a critical period in the titanic struggle of last year. Mr. Adams gave not only his time, but spent not less than $1,000 of his own money to advance the cause of Republicanism. In order to give greater attention to the work of the campaign, Mr. Adams last October resigned the post of assistant register of the Treasury, which place he had capably filled for twelve years. Prior to that time he had been elected South Town Clerk in Chicago and had been a prominent factor in Illinois politics. He was and is yet the editor of the Appeal, a paper published at Chicago and St. Paul. MR. J. H. DAVIS IN CHARGE OF THE AMERICAN. The American building, Wabash avenue and 28th street, which recently passed into the hands of Mrs. J. B. Verden, will be under the management of Mr. J. H. Davis of Des Molines, Ia. Mr. Davis is a man of experience in this line. For 20 years he has been house detective of the Savery hotel. He accepted the position Oct. 6th, 1908, and retained it up until Wednesday last, when he accepted the management of the American. His accomplished wife will be his assistant and everything looks, good for the success of the American. SOCIAL SIDE OF Many Social Affairs Planned for Visitors—Banquet to Bishop Walters—The Program in Detail. Special to The Chicago Defender. Washington, D. C., Feb. 14.—Preparations for the inaugural ceremonies are going on at a rapid pace. It is now certain that the immense convention hall will be secured for the reception by the Citizens' Inaugural Welcome Club on the night of March 5. The marchers of the race will make a creditable showing in the inaugural pageant on the 4th. One of the race regiments from the regular army will be in line, as will also be the First Separate Battalion, District National Guard, and the high school cadets. They will have good places in the parade. On the night of March 4th Bishop Walters will be tendered a magnificent banquet at the Y. M. C. A. by the people of the nation. The affair will be entirely non-partisan. Mr. L. M. Horshaw has accepted the invitation of the committee to act as hostmaster for the occasion. Mr. W. T. Ferguson is chairman of the committee. Information concerning the function can be had by addressing him at 1420 Swann street, northwest. A notable feature of the inaugural ceremonies will be the "smoker," in honor of the visitors by the Mu-So-Lit Club at True Reformers' Hall, under the general direction of Mr. G. Luther Sadgwar, president of the club, and Mr. G. Smith Wormley, chairman of the executive committee. On the evening of the 3rd at the Auditorium, Eighth street, southeast, the Conus Club will hold forth with a ball. On the 5th, at the same hall, Col. Giles B. Jackson is to have a reception. On the 2nd and 3rd the Washington Conservatory of Music is to produce in elaborate fashion at the Howard Theater Gilbert & Sullivan's ever popular comic opera, "The Mikado," under the supervision of Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall and Mr. Henry A. Williams. In addition to these large affairs, many private functions will be held in various homes and in the smaller halls. A record-breaking attendance is looked for and the chairman of the committee on public comfort, Mr. A. H. Underdown, is ready to answer all demands for accommodations if applicants will write to him at once at the headquarters, 1816 Twelfth street, northwest. HAWAIIANS WANT COTTRILL RE TAINED Washington, D. C., Feb. 14.—(Special.)—The echoes of a movement have reached here from Honolulu, Hawaii, the purpose of which is to have Mr. Charles A. Cottrill, of 'Ohio, retained as collector of internal revenue. The effort in Mr. Cottrill's behalf is fostered by the most influential citizens of the islands, of both races. They say that Mr. Cottrill has made a capable, considerate and progressive official and fear that a change might disturb the very satisfactory commercial conditions now existing there. Mr. Cottrill has spoken on many important occasions at Honolulu and has made a fine impression as an orator and has become known as a delightful gentleman to meet, both in a social and business way. The Hawaiians are asking that he be retained indefinitely by the Wilson administration. ANTI-MISCEGENATION BILL PASSES HOUSE. Washington, D. C., Feb. 14—(Special.)—Some consternation was felt in the district Monday when it became known that the House had passed the bill making the intermarriage of Caucasians with Negroes, Mongolians, Malays, etc., a felony in the District of Columbia. It is confidently expected that the measure will be killed in the Senate. The agitation for jim-crow street cars is still on, but no one believes such a bill can be enacted into law, as the sentiment for it is confined to elements that count for little among the people that do things worth while in Washington. Public meetings are to be held to protest against all legislation that tends to tighten the color-line in this community. IS COLLECTOR M'KINLAY TO GO? Washington, D. C., Feb. 14.—(Special.)—If the plan of reorganization of the customs service recommended by the Treasury department is adopted, the ports of Georgetown, Annapolis and Alexandria will be abolished as ports of entry, and they will be consolidated with the port of Baltimore, the collector at Baltimore becoming the head of the entire customs district of this vicinity. This will mean that Collector of Customs, Whitfield McKinlay, of Georgetown, together with the others, is to be discontinued. The local offices will take the status of branches and will be placed in charge of a deputy collector, who is under the civil service. This is the situation as outlined in the current prints of the district. Mr. McKinlay is a leading business man here and is highly respected. It's generally all over with the under dog. THE WORLD GREATS WEEKLY NE of M CELEBRATE EM ANCIPATION A. LINCOLN BIRTH Thousands of People Gather Orchestra Hall at This fold and Significant Occasio Audience Composed of H Races—Great Speeches—P Foster of the University of Cicago Advocates the Amalga tion of the Races as the Ou Solution of the Problem. MIGHTY CHORUS OF 200 VOICES IN QUAINT AND CLASSICAL SONGS Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois of New York, Miss Jane Addams of Hull, House, Dr. Emil G. Hirsch, Rev. Edgar B. Hill in Eloquent Plea for the Brotherhood of Man—Judge Edward Osgood Brown Presides—Loving Tribute to "Abe" Lincoln, Illinois' Son—"My Country 'Tis of Thee" Final. Chicago, always noted for mammoth and successful enterprises, outdid Wednesday night when more than 3,000 people filled Orchestra hall in attendance at the fifty-th anniversary celebration of the emancipation proclamation of President Lincoln. Fully as many more were turned away and the meeting is declared to be the most elaborate and enthusiastic gathering of the races ever seen in this city. Martyr's Birthday Adds Interest. It was Lincoln's birthday and in the state of his adoption and a loyal people ever want to honor him took added interest when at the same time they could help celebrate the emancipation of the American slaves. The formal program was arranged under the auspices of the National Association of Colored People and the committee of arrangements included the wealthy business and professional men of the city, while the race was represented by Dr. Charles E. Bentley, Thomas Wallace Swann, Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett and Mr. and Mrs. S. Lang Williams. Program Begins Orchestra hall, the city's idea auditorium for music and oratory, never looked more brilliant. Banked upon the stage twelve tiers deep was the emancipation choir, estimated to be 200 strong, under the direction of Prof. J. A. Munday, assisted by Mr. C. W Pierce, and music lovers declare that there has never been a prettier sight nor a more perfect organization. Proportionately there were about 150 ladies in the chorus in spotless white and about 50 men in conventional evening attire. Organ Voluntary. Prof. Mundy opened the program with a delightful organ number. The huge pipe organ, which occupies an entire side of the hall, pealed forth in vibrant tones and the vast audience knew that a master was at the keys. Prof. Mundy enthused as never before with this the sweetest of instruments. His mastery and perfect poise, his competent touch and thorough knowledge of his selection came as near the ideal as the average concert-goer is likely to see. His number finished, he descended from the organ loft to direct the chorus. Touching Invocation Rev. Edgar P. Hill of the McCormick Theological seminary, then voked the divine blessing, Judge Edward Brown of the Circuit, Court chairman of the meeting, then made his welcome address. The well known jurist is a familiar figure to race ences. The son of an abolitionist ever adhered to the teachings of parents and has been one of stauchest defenders of the down trodden. Among other things he said: "As a boy," said Judge Edward O. Brown, "when I heard the bells Old South ring out the news of evilipation, little did I think then it should live to see the day or re of a popular prejudice that has sts but in the mean vulgarity, who hold it, a prejudice mean nothing but harm to and black.

As the emancipates for a great task it we set ourselves for the pation, the wider freedom nity that can come through at effort of love, patienceism." Bols Upholts Democracy. E. B. D. Bols of New York or of the Crisis and known l over as the advocate of education, was the next spe- cuenced. Judge Brown in pre- him to the audience, termed a citizen of the world." When Bols arose it was fully ten before he could speak, for it audience broke out in a tu- us applause and could not be l. The eminent scholar tried and again to commence his ad- but, the audience was deter- to honor him, and no speaker ghout the evening received the use that was accorded the great- ader. olin and His Relation to Democ- racy. Lincoln was the subject of his address but the text was the principles Democracy and in eloquent and vivacious words he told of the paranoid ideas of the martyred President when he signed the emancipation, of its gradual rise and fall in years gone, by, of his resurrection in later years and of its toting condition at the present time. Are We Walking Lincoln's Path? If we believe in democracy, and as Americans and sharers in the priceless legacy left by this great and good man, we must believe it," he said, "when the practical question be asked, how we walking in the path which Abraham Lincoln blazed? Are we determined that this nation shall not be an oligarchy, half slave and half free, but a democracy based on the franchises of all men—and all women—regardless of their wealth, or their race, or the color of the grandfathers? "I fear few American realize how far we already have strapped from the democracy of Abraham Lincoln, and how far the sins which they load on the back of popular government in America are in reality the sins of those determined to thwart any expression of the popular will. Some of the irresponsible oligarchy in the absence of irresponsible oligarchy in the er of corporate wealth, and the ruthless manipulation of government by shrewd and conscienceless men. Illustrates by Charts. "But I want tonight to call attention to another widespread flouting of democracy, which you are disposed to ignore because you think it merely a local and racial issue which can be settled without reference to the main problems of democratic government in America. "We have just passed through a presidential election, and after long delay the official returns are in. I invite-your attention to a few of these figures. In that election Alabama and Minnesota, each having about the same population, each cast two electoral votes. But while it took 300,000 voters to cast these votes in Minnesota it took only 100,000 to cast the same number in Alabama. Florida and Maine each had six electoral votes, but 50,000 Florida voters exercised exactly the same power as 130,000 voters in Maine." The speaker illustrated these figures by large charts. He quoted the number of statistics and wound up by reciting Illinois as a parallel. Speaking of Illinois he said: "You are, of course, interested in your own state, and you will doubtless be pleased to know that whereas it requires in the state of Abraham Lincoln 1,150,000 voters to cast the electoral vote it takes only 224,000 voters to wield exactly the same power in the state of Gov. Blease and Mr. Tillman, the ballwick of Senator Hoke Smith and the state of Florida together. "Outside of any question of color, race or slavery this is a condition that no democracy can allow to go on deliberately disfranchise so many of the white and black citizens that an oligarchy of less than a million voters can wield the same power as nearly 3,000,000 voters elsewhere in the country, the very foundations of democracy are in danger."/ ```markdown ``` "Amalgamation Only Solution." Amalgamation as the ultimate solution of the race problem was advanced not only as a possibility but as a certainty by Prof. George B. Foster, professor of biblical literature of the University of Chicago, who was the next speaker. He said in part: "Men have declared that geographical separation was the one way to solve the question. It was only last week that I heard this statement made by a professor at Harvard university. A speaker not so long ago talks about our university made similar assertion. "This is not a fact. In the first place, you might not want to go where we would decide to put you. In the next case, where on earth would we put you? Some have said South America. Again comes the fact that might not want to go there, and didn't we couldn't compel you to a single step." Climbing Rapidly. ung he said: we have considered every- blending together of the the white and the black, is final solution of the so- m, at first thought, this may Distasteful or not, it Nature gradually but the work now. Before some faces that are it are white, and oth- tell what they are, that people may say ties of race amalgam- aking the affair out may scout, you may so particular—but we are not so par- ticular that it already has performed much of its work. "I hope to see the time when you Negroes enter the halls of Congress, the time when you have an equal voice in every phase of government, when you share alike with the rest of citizens the advantages of society. And this time will come, for you are climbing rapidly." Would Not Stay Enslaved. He concluded by saying: "We tried to give you the most undesirable employment at hand when we failed in keeping you slaves, and we did not succeed in segregating you. As a result you were put to washing dishes, to scrubbing floors and the like, but this will cease and the time will surely come when you are judged by your actual worth along with the rest of human beings." "We must consider each other as brothers. But first you must take the initiative and show the brotherly spirit yourselves. You must not return evil for evil; instead you must look to the higher and return good for evil. Then, not even politicians will be able to keep you down. "It has been said that the amalgamation of the races would produce an inferior people. I do not believe this is true, for there is nothing to show that it is. At best, this is a question which better can be decided 200 years hence, and not at the present. "I close in extending my wishes that you realize your hopes, that you live to share alike in what society holds, that you come into your own." Dr. Hirach Pities Those Who Are Dr. Emil G. Hirsch also spoke, comparing the troubles experienced by the race with those of the Jewish people. "You think there is a prejudice against you," said he, "think then of my people, against whom there has always been the bitterest prejudice. But they have prospered and persevered despite it all and the only harm has been received by those who have been prejudiced. I pity the man or woman who has prejudice in their hearts. I repeat there is no harm to you or I, but the harm is to them. You speak of time. I reply, patience. What is fifty years but one stroke of the pendulum in the onward rush of time? What is that to be compared to the Almighty, to whom 1,000 years is but a single day." Emancipation Chorus. The speeches aside, the event of the evening was a magnificent chorus of 200 voices that rendered a musical program, with such rare excellence and precision that long before the meeting it was decided to form it into a permanent organization with their next appearance in the same hall. The program was a varied one. Beginning with quaint religious songs and ending with "Ethiopia," the brilliant musical number composed especially for the occasion by Director Mundy. The chorus sang between each address, and when they rendered "Inflammatus" Madam Marie Burton-Hyrum sang the solo part. She received a cordial reception and never pleased her hearers better. Miss Gertrude M. Jackson was the organist. To the stirring strains of "My Country 'Tis of Thee," in which the vast audience joined, the largest emancipation celebration ever held in Chicago came to an end. The emancipation chorus appears in concert at Quinn capelet tomorrow, Sunday, Feb. 16. A complete list of the members of the chorus appears on another page. LAKE FOREST NEWS. Lake Forest, Ill., Feb. 14—Rev. W. H. C. Stokes accepted the call as pastor of the First Baptist Church and preached two wonderful sermons Sunday to a crowded house. We, the members, feel proud of our new pastor and through the columns of the Defender, invite you all to our church, knowing you will be benefited. We hope you will not forget the public meeting at the First Baptist Church next Sunday evening, in the interest of the Grand Fountain U. O. T. K. Chief M. T. Bailey was in the city Sunday making arrangements to organize a new Rosebud Nursery. Brother P. Williams was out Saturday evening to the officers' meeting. We were all very glad to see him. Mrs. Mary Jordan is still improving. The literary met at the A. M. E. Church Friday night for the benefit of the church. The subject for next Friday is "Has the Afro-American made all the progress he could have made?" Mr. James Rogers is home on a two months' vacation. Mr. Edward Smith is in the laundry business. He has more work that he can handle and he has contracted for the whole of Fort Sheridan. Mrs. Lula Finley of St. Louis, Mo., who has been visiting relatives in Lake Forest, will leave this week for her home. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER South Side News Dealers To Be Supplied Friday Nights. Owing to the increasing demand for The Chicago Defender, news dealers on the South Side will be supplied every Friday night, commending this week, the delivery will be by our own wagons.

Race Should Have Representation On the Board of Education—11,191 Children of the Race Attend School in Chicago. It was shown in the last issue of the Defender that there was undue discrimination in the Englewood high school. There is no doubt but what there is a considerable bit of it in most of the schools. Under the existing circumstances there is scarcely any way to know what is going on in the schools, especially in regards to the race. As has been stated, the members of the race pay their proportion of the taxes to support the schools and are, therefore, entitled to representation every Race Represented On Board. There are 21 members of the board of education and every race is represented except the negro. There is no plausible reason that the race should not have a representative on the board of education. There are 11,191 negro children attending the public schools and there is no one on the board who is especially interested in their welfare. Why not have a representative on the board of education? The terms of a half dozen or more of the present members expire in 1913. To Appeal to Mayor Harrison. Mayor Harrison is a liberal-minded man and if the matter is properly presented to him there is little doubt but that he will appoint a member of the race to the board. It would not be a precedent as Philadelphia has had one for many years, and in Washington, D. C., a large part of the board is composed of negroes. In justice to the negroes in Chicago, there should be a member of the race on the board of education. DAVE PEYTON HELD UP BY NOTORIOUS BANDIT. Well Known Musician Relieved of Money and Watch Last Saturday Night. Mr. D. B. Peyton, Jr., arranger of music, composer of the Pussy Cat Rag. "You Certainly Look Good to Me" and leader of the orchestra at the Grand theater forgot all about those tuneful melodies Saturday night when some hold-up men poked a gun in his face and demanded his money. A new song so catchy that its sale would be enormous no doubt filled his mind, but when his pile ($1,600, the police say) and his watch disappeared so did the new song. It was somewhere out in Hyde Park that "Dave" met with this disaster early Monday morning. Mr. Peyton forsook his Calumet residence and is now safely domiciled in his father's residence, 3630 Dearborn street. TUSKEEGE WILL DEDICA CATE $50,000 HOSPITAL. The John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital Gift of the Granddaughter of the War Governor of Mass., to Be Opened Feb. 21st. Special to The Chicago Defender. Tuskegee, Ala., Feb. 11.—A $50,000 hospital, to be known as the John A.

Ladies probably did not begin to wear hats until about the tenth century, if so early, and then it was the lofty headaddress draped with some material, which it must have been most trying to keep on indoors, and quite impossible to wear in a wind. According to the "Anatomy of Auses," written in Queen Elizabeth's time, ladies' hats were very nearly as perplexing then as they are today. "These fashiones be rare and strange, so is the stare whereof the hats be made divers also; for some aof silke, some of velvet, some of nifeta and some of wool, and which is more curious, some of a certain kind of nifae, these they call beaver hats." In the reign of Henry VIII, hats assumed a "great richness and beautie," but in the time of the first James they became even more ornate, jewels price and occasionally small mirrors being used in their adornment. At times of revelry the gallants wore feathers in their hats, which were said to be one of the "rarest ensigns of three bravery." Butirement men's hats were in their zenith in the days of Charles. The big felt hats with the long feather sauccily curled around them, fastened with a buckle often of great value, gave a dashing air to the cavaliers, which absolutely cast the tall solemn hats of the Puritans and "Palm singers" into the shade. The monster hats of the time of the empire were almost as big as "the Merry Widow" of modern fame, and in shape today they were positively unique. Men's hats have suffered changes since the time of Charles, and it is more than doubtful if they will ever again become ornate. Indeed, save in very remote parts of Wales where the old women still—some of them—wear the high-crowned steeple hat, there is nothing especially peculiar about the headgear of the English peasantry. French Cinema and Actors French Cinema and Actors. Rough seas were sweeping over the beach at a Normandy resort, as they did all last summer. Into the breakers plunged two men and a woman, and lookers on were agast at their temority. They swam in the huge waves safely until the lady suddenly sank. The beach cried with horror. The two men dived for the drowning beach. AtATCH the rescue breathlessly. At last the lady was brought ashore by her two saviors, and first aid having been applied, she revived and went to her box to dress. The names of the heroes were ascertained. They were two Paris actors, one of whom, M. Pierre Magnier, has often appeared by the side of Mme, Sarah Bernhardt. The lady they had saved was an actress, also. Throughout the thrilling rescue a cinematographer had been operating. The scene had been arranged beforehand, and the three rash bathers had received a fee for their services. It is to be hoped it was a handsome one. Performing for the up-to-date cinematographer is no safe job—Paris Correspondence London Telegraph. Chinese River Boats The rivers of China are notable for the queer unrigged craft that throng their reaches in the neighborhood of towns. The handsomest of these is the Hwa Ting, or flower boat. Many of the pretty craft form the resort or dwellings place of China's sing-song girls, while others are held for hire, as are our houseboats and yachts, for pleasure excursions. These are propelled by long cars, or poles, in the hands of servants who tread a narrow gangway running along their length. These river boats are the homes, offices and shops of those whose lives are spent aboard them. Moored along the bank with the bow fastened to a long hawser, extending for perhaps a thousand feet up or down the stream, they rise and fall with the tide or with the swell of some passing steamer, year in and out. They only leave for the time necessary to pursue some call of trade in another part of the harbor, then return again to fit into their accustomed place. In Canton, alone, the boat city of China, there are said to be 84,000 of these "chop-boats," as they are called. Status to Potatoes "When I was in Germany last year," says a man who travels, "I saw some people who like potatoes even better than I do. At any rate, they erect statues to them, and even if I could afford it I hardly think I should do that. "Offenberg was the first city to erect a monument of this kind. The upper part consists of a statue of Sir Francis Drake, who introduced the plant into Europe. This, as well as the pedestal, is draped with garlands of the potato vine, with full-grown tubers attached. On the pedestal, on one side, is Sir Francis Drake's name, the second side explains what a blessing the potato has been to mankind, the third records that the statue is the gift of a certain Andrew Frederick of Strasburg. The fourth contains the names of the erectors. A statue similar to this is placed in the town of Mur, and I have been told that there are other copies in many small towns." Australia Gets Wireless. The chain of wireless stations around Australasia will in a few months be an accomplished fact, it is said, and Australia, New Zealand and the islands will be in constant touch day and night. The station at Awanui bay, North Auckland, is practically in operation already, although not yet officially taken over by the government. The installation, a 30-kilowatt one, compares very favorably with that at Pennant Hills, Sydney, and with the high power: station at Fremantle, will enable Auckland to "speak" to Sydney or Fiji at any time. A similar installation is now in course of erection at The Bluff, in the south of New Zealand, and there are three supplementary stations in the dominion. Philo Hay Spec. Co.

Salt Lake City, Utah—The Great Salt Lake of Utah ranks as one of the wonders of America. The white settlers of the west first heard of this strange lake from the Indians. Col. James Bridge is credited with being its first white explorer. To Captain Bonenville, however, a French officer in the United States army, we are indebted for the first accurate knowledge of the location, dimensions, and many vagaries of this saline marvel Washington Irving has immortalized Great Salt Lake "Palace." the achievements of this intrepid explorer in a volume bearing his name. For him it was first called Lake Bonneville. The greatest dimensions of the lake are from the northwest to southeast, 70 to 76 miles; while from northeast to southwest it extends 40 to 45 miles, the dimensions varying according to conditions. It has an elevation of 4,218 feet above sea level. The water of the lake is so heavily impregnated with salt that 100 pounds of it when evaporated leaves from 25 to 28 pounds of the crystals. Thus four barrels of the water yields one barrel of pure salt. Scientists tell us that there was a time when the surface of the great Salt Lake was a full 1,000 feet higher than it is at present; that it was, in fact, a vast inland sea, the waters of which reached out to the northern and western boundaries of Utah, and even beyond. Where Salt Lake City stands was covered many feet deep. The Great Salt Lake is now but a shrunken remnant of what it was formerly. Its nearest shore is 12 miles from Salt Lake City. In a degree this shrinkage is due to the heavy drains made upon the lake by the salt manufactories, but in a greater degree, no doubt, to climatic and other changes. The "Palace" was erected from salt taken from the lake. FINDS ROLL OF PENN'S SHIP Albert C. Myers' Discoveries Concerning Founder of State—Has Other Records. London.—Albert Cook Myers, whose researches in regard to William Penn are well known, has just returned to London from Ireland, where he made a discovery of the greatest interest. His find consists of new records of Penn's ship, the Welcome, the Mayflower of Pennsylvania, about which there has hitherto been a tantalizing dearth of information. Mr. Myers' newly discovered records include the names of many passengers of the famous ship, lists of goods carried, and other items of the cargo. Mr. Myers has been in Ireland since September. He had expected to remain there only a few weeks, but found so much matter of interest bearing on Penn researches that he stayed three months. He paid a visit to the earl of Ranfurly, a descendant of Penn, at his seat in Dungannon, County Tyrone where a fine Penn collection is preserved. Thence he went to visit Col. William Dugal Stewart, head of the younger branch of the Penn family, who still owns parts of Pennsylvania. He spent two days visiting the estate of Shanagarry castle, the Irish property of Admiral Penn and his son William, the founder of Pennsylvania. A large part of the estate is still owned by Penn's descendant. The head of the elder branch of the family is William Penn Gaskell, a young bachelor, now living at Antofagasta, Chile.

Boston—"The lasting of the white race is involved in the question of the social evil," said President Emeritus Charles W. Ellot of Harvard university, in an address at the City club. "We have got to remove this evil," he continued, "or this country will not be ruled by the race that is now here. "The family life of the white race is at stake in its purity, healthfulness and fertility. We have tried the policy of silence and the policy of segregation, but there is no cure, except the observance by men of the same standards that almost all races, devoid of their women." ROMAN EMPIRE AND EASTERN QUESTION Has Only Been Viewed from a Political Standpoint But It Is a Subject of Vital Importance. ROME ECLIPSED BY CONSTANTINOPLE The Land Where Virgil, Horace and Ovid Received Inspiration and Cicero Thundered His Charm-Spelling Orations. By Elder W. D. Forde. It is the purpose in these series of articles on the "Eastern Question" to set before our readers a synopsis of this great question, which should be intelligently understood by the masses, inasmuch as it presages serious results to the whole world. While statesmen and journalists have looked upon the "Eastern Question" with fearful forebodings, for more than fifty years, yet they see it merely from a political viewpoint. But it becomes a subject of far more vital importance when it is understood in its biblical setting. We shall therefore deal with it from its broadest aspect which will afford us a proper and correct study, enabling us to arrive at a sane and safe solution. This will necessarily require a brief study of the Roman empire. Every student of Bible prophecy knows that all the great nations that have played a part in the world's great drama of history are either directly or indirectly brought into the field of prophecy. In the second chapter of Daniel's prophecy we have outlined the rise and fall of the four great universal empires, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. At the birth of our Savior Rome was swaying the sceptre of a universal empire, with Augustus Caesar at the head of affairs and the city of Rome as the seat of government. But Rome was destined to undergo a change which would be the means of transforming her former glory into a dull medley. In the year 330 A. D. Constantine the Great, for political reasons, and also through the ungracious conduct of his pagan citizens towards him because he professed Christianity, removed the seat of government from Rome to the Byzantium on the Bosphorous. The name was changed in honor of the Emperor to Constantinople, the "City of Constantine." By the removal of the capital from Rome in the west to the Byzantium in the east, the Roman empire became to be divided into what was later known as the Western and Eastern Empires, which division was permanently effected during the reigns of Arcadius, the older son of Theodosius, who became emperor of the East, and Honorius, the younger, who ruled in the West. Through this division Old Rome on the Tiber soon sank into obscurity, holding the position of a mere provincial town. Says Alexander Dumas: "The Roman empire, too vast to be held in subjection by one man, dropped from the dying hands of Theodosius the Great; and, breaking into two parts, rolled on either side of his coffin—forming under Arcadius and Honorius the two Christian empires of the East and the West." Constantinople, which now became the capital of the Eastern empire, was the chief town of the Byzantines, a colony of Doric Greeks who established themselves here about the year 656 B. C. The city occupies one of the most coveted geographical positions on the globe. It is believed that no other place in the world possesses so many advantages from its position as does Constantinople. Its connection with the several seas, make it an unrivaled center for fishing. "The adjacent territories are among the most fertile in the world, and the products of the populous countries around the Mediterranean and Black seas are borne, by water, to its gates, with a miraculous facility. Constantinople is also in the path of the armies that have passed from Asia into Europe or from Europe into Asia, and hence its history is connected with the movements which have agitated these regions for past ages." Rome thus eclipsed by Constantinople, the Western empire which at one time was the pride and glory of every Roman, was doomed to reverses which are common in the history of countries and nations. That empire, which had been governed sometimes by an ambitious and exceptionally talented Caesar, or by an astute Augustus; or again by a morose and suspicious Tiberius, or a conscienceless, desotic Nero; that land where Virgil, Horace and Ovid received their poetic inspirations, and Cicero thundered his charm-spelling orations; where Seneca philosophized, and Livy made himself famous, there were changes to be effected through the onslaught of barbarous tribes whose hostilities were to vex a dissolute civilization, and divide the land of the sons of Romulus among them. Right at this point Roman history becomes of great interest to the student of prophecy, for the ten divisions into which the empire was ultimately divided through these barbaric invasions, are clearly outlined in symbolic description in Daniel 2:40, 41, and chapter 7:7, 23, 24. This division of Rome into ten great parts is also portrayed in symbolic language in the eighth chapter of Revelation which is a compliment to the book of Daniel. Thus by the year 476 A. D. the western empire was divided into ten divisions as follows: The Alemanni or modern Germans, the Frankis or French of today, the Burgundians, who were the origin of the Swiss nation of today, the Suevi or Portuguese of today, the Vandals, the Visigoths or Spaniards of today, the Angols and Saxons or British of today, the Ostrogoths or Austrians of the present time, the Lombards and the Herull in Italy. --- THE CHICAGO DEFENDER was gone, the Eastern, which comprised countries in Europe, Africa and Asia, coinciding nearly with the Turkish dominions at the beginning of the nineteenth century, continued for about a thousand years later, until it was captured by the Taksas.

Washington Forum Meets—Other News. Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 14.—Too much credit cannot be given Mrs. Anna Gunther for the excellent recital that was presented under her direction on Tuesday eve, Feb. 11, at St. Mark's A. M. E. church. It could be readily seen that a deal of energy was exerted and earnest and zealous efforts put forth. Her masterful hand was displayed to a great advantage through her protege, Mrs Henry B. Alexander, whose rendition of the aria from "La Traviata" was perfection personified. Mrs. Alexander possesses a voice of rare sweetness and purity of tone, extensive in range, strong and powerful in climaxes and even throughout. The local press referred to her as the "Black Tetrazinol of the Northwest." Were she affiliated with any other race she would be an understudy to one of the operatic stars of the present day. Yet there is hope for a prospective future for her. The selections by the Sanford Musical Trio and the contralto solo by Mrs. Jno. Late were good. Messrs. George Weaver, Waters and Scott of the Nightingale Trio deserve to be commended for their perfect blend of harmony in their instrumental and vocal work. Miss Juanita Herron did exceptionally well in her encore that was rendered in a masterly style, but when she sang her first number it was shown that she lacked maturity and strength. Mr. Walter Revell's, Sr. solo. Pulsuit's "Bedouin Love Song," could have been sung with more precision and fervor were it not for the accompanist, whose tempo was poor. The violin solo from Rubinstein's "Melody in F" proved beyond a doubt that Mr. Barbour, who rendered it, is an excellent scholar and will be the future virtuoso of the race. Mrs. N. Luker, Milwaukee's best planiste, rendered Lange's "Springtime to Guonod" in scholarly fashion, but certain passages lacked clarity and interpretation. A poem recited by the author, Miss A. Hawker, was without expression entirely and from the manner it was delivered the meaning was not grasped and imparted. Mrs. C. Horton's address on "What is a Woman's Club?" was delivered to the audience with logic and was quite instructive. The recitation by Miss M. Burgette could have been delivered more impressively, the expression and diction were not in harmony. The editor of our local newspaper, Mr. J. D. Cooke, surprised his hearers by becoming stage-frightened which fact caused him to ramble off of his subject altogether—"The Power of the Press." He failed to prove or show the power the press had and began soliciting subscriptions. As a whole the program was extraordinarily good in quality and quantity.

Wentworth of the Frederick Douglass Center Writes Letters to Prominent Professional and Business Men of the White Race Asking "If There Is Any Prejudice Against the Employment of Competent Members of the Race in Offices and Stores?"—Receives Many Replies—Some Admit Its Existence and Pledge Themselves to Help Eradicate It. GEORGE H. WEBSTER, JULIUS ROSENWALD. Judge Edward Osgood Brown and Other Well Known Men Lead the New Movement—Subject Is Discussed in Detail—All Agree That There Is Undue and Unnecessary Prejudice—Hereafter Merit and Not Color Must Rule—No Reason for Closing the Door of Hope Against Any Race—Movement Is Widely Discussed. By D. W. Johnson. It is indeed a great relief—even though we are burdened with many sorrows and our pathway strewn with many obstacles—to be assured that the whole world is not against us. Last week it was our painful duty to register a protest against the unjust and discriminatory treatment of the young ladies of the race who graduated at the Englewood high school. This week we are delighted to mention the fact that there is a worthy and charitable effort being made by the white friends of the race to better their condition economically and extend to them the right of industrial employment as is given to every other race and nationality. Douglas Center in Worthy Move. An investigation propagated by Mr. Edward C. Wentworth, chairman of the Frederick Douglas Center, to determine whether there is any prejudice against the employment of Negroes in Chicago stores and offices resulted in the publication of letters written by Chicago bankers, lawyers and merchants, who recognize and admit that there is such prejudice, but pledged themselves to do all they could to help eradicate it. Webster and Rosenwald. Webster and Rosenward. Among those high-minded and noble-spirited business men pledged themselves to give the young men and women of the race an equal opportunity with the whites were: Messrs. Julius Rosenwald, William E. Mason, Judge E. O. Brown, N. W. Harris, George H. Webster, Irwin S. Rosenfelts, John O'Connor, Maurice S. Kuhns, George Packard, Francis E. Bromell, Louis F. Post, Robert McCury, Harold Icks and others representing many professions. The different phases of this subject were generously discussed by many of these gentlemen, but they all agree that there is undue and unnecessary prejudice, and that wherever a young man or woman of the race is worthy and qualified he or she should be recognized on merit. Merit, Not Color, to Rule. The time is near at hand when business men will cease to look upon the complexion rather than merit. The great volume of business transacted each year in the United States demands men and women of capacity, not of color; and as soon as the business man recognizes this fact, his business will increase in proportion as well as in stability. Door of Hope to Remain Open. There is no good reason for closing the door of opportunity against the meritorious young men and women of the race. There are hundreds and thousands of them worthy and fully capable to perform the duties exacted in all lines of industrial and mercantile business, but because of this peculiar condition they are subjected to enforced idleness. Wherever employees are compelled by discipline to respect one another, the two races, or any different races, will have no trouble. No Friction in Government Service. In the government service there are thousands of men and women of the race employed, and there is little or no friction at all. There is at least no more friction between the different races than there is among the same races. It is earnestly hoped that the efforts of these gentlemen will be attended with success, for it is high time the young men and women of the race who so zealously prepared themselves for the battles of life were given a chance to show their worth.

GIRL IN THE PULLMAN Simple Country Giri's Story Told to Actress Results in Sensa- tional Episode. By hae RAGE: way the story told by this simple country girl in the Pullman brought tears’ to Miss Agnes Dare’s eyes the latter could not tmagine. It was only after she knew how deoply she was moved that she discovered the reason. It was her girlhood story over again. It fa because Miss Dare {s so well known that I havo called her by this nom de plume. Her married life has been presented to the attention of scandalloving readers on the front pages of the most popular journals not once or twice, but at least ten times. And if Miss Dare has been more sinned against than sinning, at any rate she has paid in reputation tha price of her immense success. For when an actress overshadows her company and eats into the box of- fice recelpts more than any other item of expense, It is success, as people use the term, Just now sho was traveling alone across the continent to open in Los Angeles, thanktul enough for the brief respite from popularity which enabled her to assune her real namo, But for us she {8 still Miss Dare. And this simple country girl had got on with some man whose face Miss Dare had not seen at Fort Tyson, and she was traveling to Denver, Miss Dare, seoing that she was distressed, had sat beside her and the girl had lt tle by little told her the whole story. She was rancher’s daughter, and it was the old tale of a monotonous farm Ufe with no distraction, and the bril- Mant actor whose fancy she had caught whilo his troupe played two nights at the county capital, Clarence Montfort Miss Dare could not recall the name, But he had spoken to her in the street on the first day, and called upon the girl ‘at the house of tho friend with whom she was staying that evening; and on the second day he had made = we Be Me He? TM l i i! XY i a) EES desperate love to her: and the country girl was wholly enthralled and thought Clarence the most wonderful man in the world. And they were to be man ried at Denver. Wasn't it a wonderful romance! And her old fathor and mother still belleved that she was vis- iting the friend at Fort Tyson, and she would be married long before they knew anything about it. Only—well, Clarence had met some cronies on the train, members of the company from which he had resigned in order to be married. Miss Dare could not help smiling a little at that, for the Idea of an actor throwing ‘up bis position in the middle of a tour to be married suddenly was quaintly amusing to her. But when she looked at the girl's face she laughed no longer. ‘Yea, Clarence had met these friends of hia, and he had told her to sit atill and not to speak to anyone, and she knew that she was doing very wrong ‘to disobey him and talk as she was talking now. But Clarence had some important business affairs to settle in the end car, he said. And when, after an hour's obedience, the girl had gone timidly back to the end car to look for Clarence, she found him drinking. Yes, that was why she was laughing and crying alternately. Clarence had not seen her, but she had seen him drinking, and—well, he was acting like a drunken tramp that had once come to the ranch house and frightened her during her father's absence. ‘Then Mies Dare found that there were tears in her eyes too. Her mind went back for nearly twenty years to a little farm house in Iowa, and an old father and mother,.and « travelling troupe, anda man. . . , Well, she had discovered about his marriage long afterward. And tt was years sinte he bed crossed her life. He must be forty now. . She would know him if they were to meet, but thank heaven, that had been spared her. If she had met him she could not imagine what she would have done. She took the girl’s hand between her own amd began talking to her. ‘Was she sure that she loved him and that Clarence loved her? And was she sure that he was a worthy man? ‘Then, if that were really so, why had he not gone to seo her father and ‘mother? “But my father would never let me marry an actor,” exclaimed the girl. “You know, we folks have strange ideas out on the ranches.” And Clarence had been the first to explain ‘to her the impossibility of that. ‘Then Miss Dare began explaining her views until she saw the scared Jook that came in the girl's tace; then she tried to console her. And just then, happening to look up, she saw somebody at the end Soc ee “ing rather indirectly, a she ‘excused ‘hersolf ‘and “hurried toward bin. 5 fa She knew him ‘at once; ‘and she iw nw that helt meting ha oon ‘tmerelfully poatpondd ‘until “ahs. coutd mew’ hte Buder Sust * wee 3 ‘a “tte ee aim around. fhe end of t.~ car was empty and nobody noticed. ‘The man looked down: “Hello!” ho sald, smiling stupidly. !Hello!

Well, you are going to that little girl in No. 6 and you are going to tell her that you have made a mistake. Do you under stand? And then—wo shall be at Dry Lake in five minutes. You get off at Dry Lake." He swore at her. “What has it to ‘do with you?” he sneered. “Why are you butting in? How do you know I'm not free?’ What call have you to interfere?” | Miss Dare was still clinging to him, because she knew that if she let go she would be unable to keep her hands off him. “You—go—now,” she whispered hoarsely. “You know the abduction laws In Colorado? Yes, you go!” She watched btm pags along the aisle and saw him bend over the girl and speak, Sho saw the girl start up, clinging to the velvet cushions of the Pullman. Then the train slowed down, and the train was pulling into Dry Lake. The girl was going to scream. Miss Agnes Dare got there in time, and a moment later she was knock: {ng Clarence Montfort all over the car. | ‘That was tho latest of the Dare scandals, and Miss Agnes’s photograph ‘was prominently displayed as usual on the front pages of tho newspapers, from New York to San Francisco.

Would she have pum- meled him if sho had been plain Miss Dare with no reputation for scandal to maintain? And then, why had she abruptly left the train and disappeared somewhere in the Colorado wilderness, and who was that young girl that she was cbaperoning, and was she a worthy person to have charge of her? Miss Agnes read all that and smiled. Life has {ts compensations, and there 4s @ letter in her handbag which she reads sometimes when things have gone badly with her.

FUNDAMENTAL BASIS OF LIFE Protopiasm Has Furnished the Scler- tists With a Most Interesting Sub- Ject for Discussion. Protoplasm—the literal translation of which means “the first man made" —was the name given by.a German selentist In 1846 to the shiny granu- lar, sembfluld contents of vegetable cells. It looks like the white of an egg, and it can be analyzed tito four chemical eloments—earbon, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen. It\ ts now recognized as the fundamental basis for all life; the smallest particle of It goes through what 18 known as the cycle of Iife—free motion, feeling, feeding and reproduction. “When in somo Unconscious way It grows mom- brane for a covering, or a little nu- cleus, a kernel somewhero within {t —science calls it a cell, These cells ore the same in plants and animals. Prot, Jacques Loeb showed the im- portance of this fact. Although plants, he explained, have no nervous sys- tems, they have “instinctive move mente.” In’ analysis of instincts, he bound together, fn the cell common to them, the plant and the worm at the root of the plaut (as some day, por haps, the treo of Ifo and the serpent may be bound); and he called thelr reflex actions “tropisms.” Then he dolnted out that tropisms are mechan- feal acts—that moth and fly and ivy leat move, in spite of themselves, in chemical subjection to light, heat and odors (which the scientist calls oma- nations"),—From the Metropolitan.

Jones a graduate of the state university of Iowa went down into the black belt of Mississippi and started a school on the order of Tuskegee. All this happened three years ago. Today he has a number of very creditable buildings, large classes of boys and girls who are being taught to set type, to make brooms, to weave haskets, cut out and make clothes, handle carpenter and blacksmith tools and to till the soil after the latest scientific methods. All this shows what one man can do who really has the welfare of the race at heart. It is one thing to sit idly by and tell of the things that should be done and another thing to put your shoulder to the wheel and do them. The south should be dotted with just such seats of learning, and Mr. Jones is to be congratulated on his successful venture. Lincoln's birthday, "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty" was never sung by our people with more genuine feeling and pathos than at Orchestra hall last Wednesday evening, it being the joint celebration of Abraham Lincoln's birthday and the fiftieth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation which he issued. Here were gathered earnest, thoughtful, justice-loving people of every nationality and of every creed by the hundreds to testify verbally and by their presence their heart-felt interest in the great movement for the complete emancipation not only of the Negro but of the white man, for many hold it is not a Negro problem but a white man's problem. It is not always easy to be optimistic regarding the race question and yet when we realize the races have been living together in the same country, and for the past fifty years coveting and contributing to the same civilization and when we look back and see the wonderful progress made along all these we have made, our dark cloud seems to have a silver lining. As Professor George B. Foster of the University of Chicago b. Foster of the University of the rest of us," so harmony must the prevail if we preserve our union. If it be that likeness like们 were pertinent when he said: "You think there is prejudice against you, think then of my people, against them there is the bitterest prejudice. They have preposed and persevered despite it all, and the only harm has been received by those who have been prejudiced." Patience, charity, humility, honest abiding faith in the forces that make and searching self-questioning and an for righteousness," said Jane Adams, "are virtues that the white race especially should cultivate. When Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, the principal speaker asked in his telling way: "Are we walking in a path that Abraham Lincoln blazed? Are we determined that this nation shall not be an obligarchy, half slave and half free, but a democracy based on the franchises of all men—and all women —regardless of their wealth, or their race, or the color of their grandfathers? There was but one determination that must have gone home to each hearer and that was to live and to act in the spirit of Lincoln. Dr. Charles E. Bentley read the Emancipation Proclamation that was intended to mean so much to us had it been carried out to its fullest meaning, but which has meant so little in some parts of this country especially in late years. To Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnard who organized this wonderful Emancipation chorus, to the members of the chorus and to Director James A. Mundy too much praise cannot be given for their part of the program, and who did not leave the hall feeling their prayers would be heard when they sang "Reign, Massa Jesus, Reign." HENRY ROE CLOUD, INDIAN. In the current number of the Southern Workman (published by the Hampton Institute Press) is a paper by an educated Indian, Henry Roe Cloud, on "Some Social and Economic Aspects of the Reservation" which throws a flood of light on the Indian's point of view in the various matters affecting his life on the reservations and in the government schools. Mr. Cloud sees no good reason why the psychology that applies to the white man should not be applied to the Indian and calls upon his fellow members of the Society of American Indians, before whom the paper was read, to "live the doctrines of endeavor and self-support and teach the same continually." "A Peaceful Indian Uprising" describes the work of the Indian Rights Association of British Columbia, and the last report of the Indian Commissioner is discussed editorially. In lighter vein is a picturesque account of a dance of the Menomini "Dreamers." Illustrated articles show the progress which has been made in an interesting "Community School" in Alabama, and call attention to the various uprisings of Cuban Negroes and their disastrous effects. The significant course of lectures on the Negro problem now being given at the University of Virginia under the Phelps-Stokes Foundation is noticed editorially. The book describes a book review of unusual interest on a monograph by a German writer on "The Negro in the United States of America." WHAT'S YOUR NAME, LITTLE GIRL? The above question was propounded to little Miss Officer of 2900 State street on Monday afternoon by a reporter for the Defender as the young Miss, a week old, sat on a sofa amid oriental rugs and seemingly had just gotten out of an otter-of-roses bath. The young lady laughingly said tea hee, but her mother Mrs. O. Henderson Officer speaking up said: "She is a little sleepy, having ridden so long on the stork limited, I will tell you her name. It is "Mercedes Gwendolyn," after the famous Spanish queen who ruled her country so grand." Dr. Officer, or "dadie," as he is now called by the profession, has Will ebody please call a hait to this marriage proposition. We hear it day and dream of it by night. It seems would only discover another north Pole or a hole at State and Madison streets, leading to the center of the earth, perhaps the searchlight would be turned off of the subject for awhile. With bills being introduced into various legislatures against mixed marriages, we are forced to believe the superior race is afraid of competition, their loath of citizenship and civilization counts for nought when they find it necessary to legislate themselves into this position. What man was it who always carried a dog around with him so people would know he was a man? --- They say necessity is the mother of invention and certainly some of our friends must lay awake nights devising means to outwit the Negro. A block in Kansas City was purchased for the erection of a school for colored children, the residents objected and had a resolution passed in the council asking the Park Board to take the block for park purposes. Can you beat it? The Topeka, Kansas, Journal says: "A darky uncle" has invented a gopher trap which will catch nine gophers out of ten. The editor of this country journal, to say the least, shows very poor taste in his designation of a colored man. It may seem smart and tickle the palate of some of his ignorant readers, but it is disgusting to anyone of average intelligence. Nursing foreigners. How Congress rings with speeches upon the rights of Cubans or Filipinos, and with what supreme care they are being nursed and fondled under our guardianship. Perhaps 'tis the enchantment of distance, charity begins at home. What atrocities and injustices are inflicted upon ten million native-born citizens, yet a deaf ear is turned to all of this. We have had faith, we have extended charity and now our only hope and salvation lies with ourselves. The masses must be educated, we must acquire wealth, and above all we must stick together as a unit. Congressman Madden. We are glad to note Congressman Madden's vote against the bill forbidding intermarriage between the races in the District of Columbia, but we regret to say Congressman Madden refused to be interviewed as to his position, thereby missing an opportunity to show his decided opposition to any measure tending to incite race prejudice. We want to hear from Congressman Madden as to why he refused public interview. In view of so much adverse criticism in the press these days it was an opportune time for a friend of the race to rise in our defense. Sine die. Yes, we fought, bled and died for the country and are going to stay here, but so did the Irishman fight for England, the Italian, Greek, Russian and Pole fight for his country, but patriotism was not above freedom and human rights so he immigrated. If the southern white man knew the brother in black would leave the scene of Judge Lynch, that worthy would adjourn double quick Sine Die. The Bull Moose movement in Chicago is responsible for the removal of our one single representative in the legislature, and we certainly need him there now more that we did Roosevelt in the White House. Real nerve. Of all the unheard of requests this seems to head the list. A few colored men, residing in Bloomington, Ill., are circulating a petition among white residents, asking for financial aid to establish an ice cream parlor and confectionery, giving as a reason that members of their race are not allowed in any of the up-to-date stores there. We are ashamed to chronicle such colossal nerve as these worries who are circulating this graft petition should be given no support. It takes but little capital to open up a store of this kind and there are plenty of opportunities along other lines these gentlemens could work at until they accumulated capital enough to realize their dreams. The Southern custom. The domestic felicity of the Beaches which was mentioned through the press nationally, brought the colored man as usual in the foreground as scapegoat. It appeared to be a burlesque on justice. The facts brought out by the evidence would convict Beach for attacking his wife with a knife, by any fair-minded jury. His wife maintained apparently as a shield for him, that she was assaulted by the proverbial Negro offender. The local authorities took no stock in her statement since prominent citizens who were present at the time, all testified that Beach himself was the only party upon the scene. The statements of Mrs. Beach were so clearly untrue that for once Judge Lynch refused to convene the mob. Selfhelp. In response as to what the Negro is doing for himself we note the following: Wiley University has just finished a building costing $30,000 besides a $3,000 president's home and a $3,000 dormitory. Tinsley Memorial hall has been built by the students, costing $50,000, while a medical college has two-thirds of its cost contributed by the students. A colored conference has given $6,000 to Freedman's Aid and $7,000 to another benevolence. A church in Lynchburg, Va., with a membership of 500 moderate wage earners, has given $5,000 for Christian education.

Editor of the Defender: As a resident-of Prairie avenue, and one who believes in discouraging immorality, I think the citizens ought to help Attorney W. W. Johnson in the fight that he is making for clean living, as published in a recent issue of the Illinois idea. I would suggest that the residents and property owners should look into the abberant conditions existing on Prairie, Forest, Wahash and Rhoades avenues, and then file a petition against such disreputable houses as are mentioned in his article. I am sure they will gain the support of all the law-abiding citizens who will be only too glad to give a helping hand in ridding the city or neighborhood of buff flats and all such cess pools of vice. As Attorney Johnson started his good work, being in full knowledge of these people, we are looking forward to his taking the initiative in driving the rascals out. Before closing, allow me to say this, I do not approve of the attorney comparing the morals of the white women as being to any degree of a higher standard than those of the women of the race of the same calibre. White following the daily papers where every lot of news is reported, telling of the public conduct of women very few cases include the women of the race.—W. C. DeWendt, 3550 Prairie avenue. --- Ancient Definitions of Beauty He used to say that personal beauty was a better introduction than any letter; but others say that it was Diogenes who gave this description of it while Aristotle called beauty "the gift of God." that Socrates called it "short-lived tyranny." Theophrastus, "a silent decibel." Theocritus "an tory voice which stood in need of no guard."—Diogenes Lagerst. A. D. 200. Heart-Wealth. How much more we might make of our family life if our friendships, if every secret thought of love, bloom somed into a deed! . . . There are words and looks and little observations, thoughtfulnesses, watchful little attentions, which speak of love, which make it manifest, and there is scarce a family that might not be richer in heartworth for more of the. . . Harriet Beecher Stowe. Yes, Why? The curate of a large and fashionable church was endeavoring to teach the significance of white to a Sunday school class. "Why," said he, "does a bride invariably desire to be clothed in white at her marriage?" As no one answered, he explained. "White," said he, "stands for joy, and the wedding day is the most joyous occasion of a woman's life." A small boy queried, "Why do the men all wear black?" Caddie's Return Shot Foozler on the Links (who has already lost two balls in the long grass as the result of some atrociously bad shots, is now vainly searching for number three, and is not in the sweetest of tempers, to long-suffering caddie)—"Thought you'd come out to look after the ball?" Caddie (with some heat)—"Aye! An' I thought you'd come out to play golf!" Present of Man. The discovery in England of the skull of a prehistoric man has led some of the scientists to decide that there can be no further doubt of man's descent from the ape. They may or may not be right, but why did the man's descent? Why do so many people worry about their ancestry? The important thing is, not what men have come from, but what they are. Nobleat Motlye. I have tried to tell you the noblest motive in which you should be a pure, an upright, a faithful and a strong man. It is not for the salvation of your life, it is not for the salvation of yourself. It is not for the satisfaction of your tastes. It is that you may take your place in the great army of God and go forward having something to do with the work that he is doing in the world—Phillips Brooks. IN CHICAGO AND ITS SUBURBS Our Local Department—Personal Mention—Religious—Social and other short paragraphs—Read it over carefully, somewhere you will find a line or two about yourself or your friends Mr. Clifford French, who has been visiting his old home, Chicago, has returned to Toronto, Canada.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Edgehill of 3632 Dearborn street celebrated their fifth anniversary on Saturday afternoon. They entertained quite a few friends and Mr. W. Wally was the "silver tongued" toastmaster. The world loves a fighter but it loats a coward—Evansville, ind., will please take notice. How Benlighted! Here is a Chinese idea of prosperity in a nation: When the sword is rusty, the plow bright, the prisons empty, the granaries full, the steps of the temple worn down and those of the law courts grassgrown, when doctors go afoot, the bakers on horseback and the men of letters drive in their own carriages, then the empire is well governed. Evidently Not In His Time She—"There's always a crowd round the dear old professor. He's such a wonderful conversationalist." He—"Lor! You really think so? I tried him just on every possible toplo—hounds, bridge, golf, music halls, everything—and he was simply useless."—Punch. Twins Opposite in Character When the characters of twins are not exactly the same they are exactly the opposite of one another. One will be quick, self-confident and quick-tempered, but quick to forgive; the other is slow, shy and good-tempered, but slow to forgive when aroused. Thickly Growing Banana It is said that Jamaica holds the world's leadership in the production and importation of bananas, yet only about three per cent. of the total acreage of the island produces this immense crop. That Kind of a Man "What kind of a man is Squire Simmons, anyway?" "Well, I tell ye. You've seen them snowstorms along ally in the winter, when there's a good deal of wind, but not much sleighing? That's the sort he is." T truth It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentional lying that there is so much falsehood in the world—Dr. Samuel Johnson. Peculiarities of Twins Many pairs of twins, as every one knows, are difficult or almost impossible to tell apart. In the case of these striking resemblances the similarity of character which accompanies it breaks out in curious ways. A news paper recently drew attention to a couple of twins, named Evans, who bewilder the stalker by making the same remarks simultaneously, and begin humming the same song at the same moment. There are lots of similar cases on record. THE CAUSE OF OUR GOODNESS. It is very difficult for a person to spend a whole day being good unless he's sick or dead - Waldo Baston. SPECIAL NOTICE!

Little Arithmetic Problem If twelve persons were to agree to dine together every day, but never sit exactly in the same order around the table, it would take them 18,000,000 years at the rate of one dinner a day, and they would have to eat more than 479 million dinners before they could get through all the possible arrangements in which they could place themselves.

The enso with whch he Handles the bow would do credit to one many years his senior. Mrs, Claybrook’s paper on “Why They Need Schools in Japan,” was both {n- teresting ‘and educational.

The speeches by Dr. Carl Roberts and A. G. Fairfax were inspiring and helpful. Mrs. Newton, the district superintendent of the A. C. League, gave an interesting and instructive talk, and the monologue by Mr. Job was timely and uplifting. The adult and morning choirs rendered valuable service. The solo by Miss Thomas was all that could have been expected. The pastor announced the second sermon on the book of Daniel for Sunday night, Feb. 16. This will be the second of this series of sermons. The mid-week service on Wednesday night will consist of thirty minutes of Bible instruction. The subject for Feb. 19 will be Personal Workers." Friday night will be given to evangelistic services. This has been divided into sections for both the next few weeks, known as the Reds and Blues. The funeral service of B. R. Bland was held at Wayman chapel Wednesday at 11 a.m. HOPE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Hope Prebabyterian church, located at 51st street and Loomis boulevard, is one of the most comfortable and complete edifices in the city, made of concrete blocks, and was dedicated about a year ago. Rev. C. Lee Jefferson, the energetic and able pastor, has been very successful in gathering around him a large and thrifty congregation. Last Sunday he was assisted by a returned missionary, Dr. L. Gregg, who preached in the morning and addressed the Sabbath school, Messrs. Brown and Courtney of McCormick Seminary assisted with the evening services. Many of the Sabbath school scholars took a stand for a Christian life. The pastor stated that the stewards' training class for "The World in Chicago" would meet --- ng. The Englewood Literary society rondaed a very interesting program on Friday night. The marked feature was a debate upon the subject: "Resolved." That the Colored Race Should Have the Oversight of Their Own "Delinquents and Dependents." The president, Mr. D. W. Johnson, stated that there would be a special program Sunday. Feb. 23, at 4 p. --- THE AMANDA SMITH HOME.

Two hundred and thirty-four persons communed. The choir rendered excellent music. On Sunday, Feb. 16, at 7:45 p. m., we will celebrate the thirteenth anniversary of the Allen Christian Enderave league. THE INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH. That the "Sunday Evening Club of the Dearborn Center" is rapidly growing in popular favor was clearly demonstrated by the magnificent audience that gathered last Sabbath evening to listen to the eloquent address of Prof. Louis Gregory, LL B., of Washington, D. C. The address of Prof. Gregory last Sabbath on "Emancipation" was one which all Chicago might have heard with profit. With the earnestness of an inspired seer and with the eloquence of the forceful orator he spoke as one having a message and all who heard were moved. With the hand of a master he painted the picture of that coming day when all men everywhere shall be emancipated. From the predecessors of the productions as well as the paradoxical prejudices of patriotism and the ideals of Christ shall be realized in human governments. Our Sunday morning services are equally interesting. Our minister without having previously announced his scheme is preaching a series of most powerful Sunday morning sermons on eat Symbols and New critics." e last Sabbath was rich Mrs. Williams was solist ring worship and Mrs. Opie evening. ERICK DOUGLASS CENTER. w afternoon, Feb. 16, at 4 Mr. E. McBurner will speak I in, Chicago." Plano a Yarbourgh." Vocal frey. Monday evening the Center Woman's club entertained the clubs of the city in a Doughlass and Lincoln program. All the addresses were interesting, displaying a width of thought that delighted everyone, something new being presented by each speaker. Our president, Mrs. Eva Jenifer, made many good points in her introductory remarks when she explained to the other clubs that while our club is not strong women who are working along business lines to arrange for the young people to attain better positions in business circumstances. If this is not granted them reason is sought as to why not. The last week in February is the club bazaar. Mrs. C. P. Woolley addressed a fashionable woman's club in Aurora Tuesday, explaining the work of the Douglass Center. She spoke to a similar club in Michigan City Saturday. The attendance in the Boys' Clubs has greatly increased since the books have been secured from the library. Onundred more are at our disposal and the girls' classes are using them with equal interest. The Librarian, Miss Ellen Snyder, is at the Center Saturday mornings from 10 to 12 and Monday evenings from 7 to 9 p. m. QUINN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. A large and appreciative congregation assembled at Quinn on last Sunday morning and listened to a strong sermon from the pastor on the text, "What Think Ye of Christ?" The Sunday school is making elaborate preparations for Easter. The Christian Endeavor is growing in interest and numbers. The Lyre Circle held a public service on last Sunday night. Mrs. Eva Zenifer read a most excellent paper. Musical numbers were rendered by the choir and Mrs. Ida Stokes. Taylor. The chorus of one hundred voices which sang at the Emancipation celebration in Orchestra hall will render the same music at Quinn on Sunday afternoon at 3. Seats free. The Richard B. Harrison recital on the 24th inst. promises to be one of his best. See ad in this paper. The revival choir will begin rehearsals next week. ST. MARK'S M. E. CHURCH The Freedman's Aid society of the Methodist church supports twenty-two institutions of learning for Negroes in the South. Last Sunday was Freedman's Aid day at St. Mark's. The interesting and instructive program prepared by Dr. I. Garland Penn was observed and in the conclusion of which St. Mark's congregation gave a collection, cash $40 and subscriptions $23. Dr. Bonds of Lincoln institute, Simpsonville, Ky., was present and delivered a short address. Four persons united with the church. At the evening service the pastor, Rev. J. W. I. bison, preached. The Sunday Lyceum was addressed by the Rev. Dr. G. H. McDaniels, the president of the Enterprise Industrial institute. Subject, "Life of Abraham Lincoln." The faculty and students of the institute attended in a body, wearing the colors of the school. Next Sunday the address will be on George Washington and will be delivered by the Rev. D. H. Harris, D. D. The Lyceum will be favored by Edgar's orchestra. The cantata, "The Shepherd King," rendered by St. Mark's choir, was well attended and was a financial success. Our fourth quarterly meeting will be held the first Sunday in the month. The Rev. Dr. G. R. Bryant of Indianapolis, Ind., will be present and preach. OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH. The Lincoln-Douglass day celebration held at Olivet Baptist church last Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Standard Literary society of the same church was of such moment as to call forth the admiration of some of Chicago's best talent. The program was rendered with such taste and precision that those who were present could not but feel that "it was good to be there." The Gazette read by the Editor was interesting and the news and editorial were timely. The fifteen minutes' discussion of the "Gazette" was hearty. The three soloists, Mrs. Starnes, Mrs. Cobbin and Mr. Sharp, were appropriate offerings of talent. The "Fidelity Quartet" spiced the program with mild humor by singing "Who's There Knockin' on My Door?" Colonel Rutin stirred the members of the race to cheers by his address, "Frederick Douglass" personal friend). The program was dedicated to the killing the was substituted for Judge Orrin M. Carter, who was called away by the death of a relative, was Assistant State's Attorney Raybor, who delivered an address which plainly proved him to be non-prudicial in his esteem of the worthy of the race as well as his thorough familiarity with the history of the "ugliest and best man of his day." Mr. S. B. Turner, editor of the Idea, introduced the assistant state's attorney with a tact and precision worthy of a leader of the people. The pastor, Rev. E. J. Fishet, made a few pointed characteristic remarks which marked him as a lover of the race as well as a teacher of their hearts. ST. JOHN'S NOTES. Sunday morning service, 10:45 a. m. Sunday school, 1:15 p. m. Intermediate C. E. prayer meeting, 6 p. m. Senior C. E. prayer meeting, 7 p. m. Evening service, 8 p. m. Prayer meeting Wednesday evening, 8 p. m. Equal to the beauty of the day were the services of last Sunday. And many were there in attendance during the entire day's worship to partake of the rich blessings of God which are ever to be found in abundance at St. John's by all who diligently seek them. At the morning service were gathered a splendid number of members and friends who delighted in listening to the sweet music of the choir and the wondrous words of hope and cheer which flowed from the mouth of a pastor, who with great strength and cheer delivered an eloquent sermon. The evening service was featured with the presence of many strangers and friends of the neighboring churches. The congregation was unusually large and the service filled with enthusiasm. One of the most valuable and much needed sermons of this day and time was the one delivered by Dr. Wilson at this service, from the text, Gen. 3:9, letter clause, which reads, "Where art thou?" This word of warning was left with all; that no one can hide his sin from God by placing the blame upon someone else, but that each individual will be held in strict account on the reckoning day and receive his just deserts. With the review of the lesson before the Sunday school last Sunday. All of the classes were well represented, especially the young ladies and young men's classes. Senior "B" class still holds first banner while the Bible class holds the second. The Intermediates had three visitors last Sunday. The attendance was rather large but the meeting not quite as lively as usual. However, on Sunday, Feb. 16, the topic will be on "Temperance" and the Temperance committee promises a good lively meeting. The bishop, Dr. R. E. Wilson, has issued all of his certificates of appointment, given proper instructions to gil of his preachers and has sent them to their various charges. Each preacher, and there is one for every church in the connection, is asked to report not less than $50 at the annual mock conference which is to be held at the church May 19 and 20. Preparatory to this conference the pre-sided gilers are to visit the various churches in their districts, hold quarrelly conferences and obtain such in formation as will be needed to carry out a successful annual conference This rally for which all are struggling to reach the goal of $1,600 will not only be of great financial assistance to the church, but its closing feature instructive, in that it will aid the members and friends in learning how the general business affairs of the church are conducted. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGA TIONAL CHURCH. "Son of Man, Can These Bones Live?" And Ezekiel Answered, "Thou Knowest" the Negro "The Dry Bones" Amongst the Races of the Earth—"What Have You—What Do You Know—What Can You Do? Is What the World Is Asking of Him—The Mother at the Washut, the Father in the Frayed and Shiny Coat Has Passed—It's Up to Him. "Son of man, can these bones live?"—Ezekiel 37:11-5 said Dr. Lawrence in his opening, "Our text for the morning is one of the many illustrations of the symbolic method which REV. EUGENE LAWRENCE characterized the preaching of the Old Testament prophets. The beautiful and striking imagery here and there displayed in their writings seems to me to be a gift that is becoming lost to our modern temperament and type of mind. "The fact that the ancients relied more upon the faculty of memory than do we, is illustrated in the records both of the Old and New Testaments. "Many of the stories of the Old Testament were not recorded until many years, and in some instances many centuries after the events which formed their backgrounds were entirely lost sight of. "Thus we can now appreciate the fact of how it was absolutely necessary for such a primitive people, primitive in the ability both to produce the stories and to devise the means for preserving them, to rely almost wholly upon the faculty of memory." "The modern man doesn't depend so much upon the powers of memory as did the ancient or the mediaeval one. Hence our memories are not as strong as they might otherwise be. But what we have lost in the way of the gift of memory we gained along other lines, e.g., the power to perceive, to see, to understand, to analyse, and to adjust life to the conditions which we find. Getting back, then, a little closer to the thought of our text, the story of the valley of dry bones is a parabolic representation of the whole life of the Jewish people as the prophet Ezekiel saw it; the economic, social and religious condition of the people as a nation. "The truth that is so vividly set forth here is not only representative of the national life of the Jews, but is found to be true of every people and of each individual that has made any real gains toward human perfection. The condition of the Jews as a race at the time when Ezekiel uttered prophecy but kept hutting up the nation, the breaking in of the nation had already set in. Ezekiel himself found the background for the material of his book in the region of Babylonia, while there as a captive, like John, upon the Isle of Patmos. "It was upon the bank of the River Chebar that the writer tells us that he 'sat down and wept' when he thought of Jerusalem. It was there as a captive, in a trance, upon the banks of that historic river that he had the vision of the valley of dry bones. "In the prophet's vision he heard a voice saying, 'Son of man; can these bones live?' Can this people for whose national funeral the knell has struck he brought back to this life?" --- THE CHICAGO DAY Can this compromising, backsliding, degenerating and decaying people be made to rally? Said the prophet, "It is doubtful, the outlook is almost hopeless, but I will sound the alarm, and although they are already scattered, captive slaves, may be that there is still a chance for recovery and restoration; thou knoweth. "And again, says Ezekiel, 'he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay swine upon you, and I will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put bread in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that a man the Lord." "So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. And when I beheld, lo, the sinew and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. Then said he unto me, 'Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say unto the wind, Thus saith the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O ye breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.' So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and 'stood upon their feet, an exceeding great army.' You follow the picture? Do you see the imagery there displayed? To us it may seem a little startling, but when we remember the type of mind for which it was prepared, we must agree it was a masterpiece. I have dwelt at such length upon this illustration that I find there is not time for another. But let us hasten to note its practical application to, today, to you and I. "As a race, is it not quite possible we have gone to sleep on our job? Faithful, and true, is the saying 'Sleep, and the world will let you sleep.' But arise, arm yourself with the weapons of the western world, accumulation, education and Christianization, and begin your march toward the front, and the world will stop to reckon with you. "By the drums' we beat and the thunder of cannon we or our fathers were awakened and freed from physical captivity and bondage. We, or our mothers and fathers, like the prophet, lifted a solemn prayer to God. He answered and gave liberty, but they had to pay the price thereof; they inebored long and patiently and with much soothing laughter, and they bread, fat bacon and sopped aolases. Some of us, of course, don't know anything about these experiences, but we have profited by the sorrows through which our fathers have gone. "But ours of today is a different struggle and battle from that of the prophet, or of our mothers and fathers. There are few mothers of today who are willing to stand at the washub, week after week, or in the cook kitchen, that she may see her boy, or her girl, go up and advance in life. Few parents today are willing to wear one suit of clothes two and three years in order; that his son may go through college, get his profession, and get started out in life better prepared than was then. You have questions the world asks, the race, or the individual; they are: 'What have you GOT?' 'What do you KNOW?' 'What can you DO?' If you cannot give a favorable answer to at least one of these, the world politely asks you to step aside. And unless you have the spirit that makes possible the realization of these gifts, you can't add very much to the advancing kingdom of God on earth. "What Can You Do?" "That's what the world is asking you/ NOT who you are, nor WHAT you are; but WHAT can you do, with brain or hand? What can you do? That is the test. As for the rest, it matters not; or who, or what you may have, or high or low, the world cares not one whit to know. WHAT can you do? That's what the world is asking you with trumpet tone, and that alone! Oh soul, if you would win, then you must show the world what you can do! Before success can come to you, the world must know what you can do. "Up, then, O soul, up then, my brother, and do your best! Meet like a man the world's great test, what can you do? No matter who you are, or who. "No man who sleeps on his job in any phase of life's activities can win the right to success and respect. Each individual must launch into the deep; every race must try the waves. And if while others are toiling we are found asleep we shall meet the fate of Jonah, minus the final landing. "Ours is an age of individualism, the individual no longer sees himself so intimately bound up with his nation, his race, or even his own community, that his personality and individuality becomes lost, unidentified. And this fact makes the struggle all the keener. Each one then must make certain exertions for himself upon this sea, sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish. Then will the valley of ones, living unaltered, be derided, he gives new life. It will stand upon its feet and usher in a new and better day, through the practical application of the ethics of the Christian religion." NOTES. At Bethel A. M.

'A man often finishes out after he is 's saved, then he gets killed, 'Walton' Baldoglio The Latest News of tt. Dr. A. R. E. Wyant delivered an intensely interesting lecture at the Y. M. C. A. meeting on last Sunday at the Odd Fellows' Hall. Dr. S. C. Dickerson, who was a classmate of the speaker at the University of Chicago, introduced him to the audience. Rev. G. E. Carter, a local minister, will speak at the Y. M. C. A. meetings on February 23, 1913. The speaker although a young man, has spent several years as teacher in the classrooms in Southern Illinois and is at present studying for the ministry in one of the prominent theological colleges of Chicago. He is a forable and thoughtful speaker and should give inspiration to young men who hear him. Dr. S. C. Dickerson of the Provident Hospital has been engaged by the department to deliver a course of lectures on "Eugenics" at the Sunday meetings. The dates and subjects of the lectures will be announced later. The Wabash Avenue Department quartet has been in great demand by the different departments of the Y. M. C. A. since their appearance at the banquet held at the Auditorium Hotel last month. The quartet sang at the West Side Y. M. C. A. building on Sunday afternoon and filled another engagement at the Woodlawn Park Methodist Episcopal Church on 64th and Woodlawn avenue in the evening. Dr. Wm. A. Frye, pastor of the church, spoke to his congregation concerning the work that the Y. M. C. A. plunged doing among the colored people through the Wabash Avenue Department and encouraged its congregation to aid the association to carry on the work. He lectured on "Lincoln, the Great Commander," and devoted a large part of his lecture to the colored people by showing the progress made by them. Mr. Harry T. Williams, InterChurch secretary of the Chicago Young Men's Christian Association, will speak at the Wabash Avenue Department Y. M. C. A. meeting on Sunday, February 16th, at 4:00 p.m. m. Mr. Williams was executive secretary of the Men and Religion Forward Movement and was in active charge of the Eight-day campaign which was held Chicago last April. He is now working with the association and churches of Chicago in effort to relate their work so that men boys may be put to service in them He will speak on "The Transformation of Power." All men are invited. The meeting will begin promptly at 4 o'clock. Mr. R. B. Ellington, one of our faithful campaign workers, had a large American flag floating from the flagstaff of the building on Lincoln's birthday. This flag was presented to him by the National Convention held at Toledo, Ohio, some twelve years ago, when he accompanied the Columbia Post, G. A. R., No. 706, of Chicago, Mr. Ellington is a G. A. R. veteran, having served with the Fourth Vermont, Second Brigade, Second Division Army Corps, during the Civil War. This corps was assigned to the Army of the Potomac. He also saw Lincoln and heard him speak. He is one of the few men living; who marched with his remains from the White House to the Capitol. It is very fitting; that Mr. Ellington should show this loyalty to his flag and the memory of Lincoln. Matterhorn of Men.

Washin, Hastings. vs Notes of the Nation's Capital Spe. T. Chicago Defender. Wash. D. D.C., Feb. 11.—Washington N. J., seven miles below the city on the Potomac, nearly opposite Alexandra, used by the people of the race as a picnic resort, was totally destroyed by fire last Sunday night. The loss is estimated at $30,000. No insurance. It was the landing place of The Angler, an excursion steamer operated by a race company headed by Mr. Lewis Jefferson. Ground has been broken for the new $30,000 building for Normal School No. 2. George George near Howard Univ. School for teenagers. This years notited institutions has been presided over by Dr. Lucy E. Moten, one of the race's greatest educators. It is suggested that the school be named an honor of Prof. George F. T. Cook, under whose capable administration as superintendent of public schools the normal school for race pupils was established. The provision for the first $150,000 for the erection of a new building for the Mt Street High School was eliminated from the District bill in the House Monday. Went out in committee on a point of order. The structure as planned calls for a total expenditure of $550,000, and is to be located on 1st street between N and O streets northwest. The white Central High School experienced a similar fate. There is a hope that the Senate committee on District affairs will restore these highly important items. In answer to queries, it is authoritatively stated that the nomination of Mr. Fred R. Moore, of New York, for Minister to Liberia, was forwarded to the Senate January 2, 1913. Mrs. J. P.

Mr. William Smith, one of Washington's kind Knight entertainers, used last Wednesday night at his home on Cleveland Avenue and was buried Saturday from Walker Memorial Baptist church. Mrs. Sarah Emma Poc, wife of Editor James W. Poc, of "The Reformer," published at Richmond, W. Va., passed away last week, after a brief illness. She was a splendid woman and her influence and helpful laborers will be greatly missed throughout this community. She was a stewardess in the Metropolitan Wesley A. M. E. Zion church, where her funeral was held last Sunday in the presence of one of the largest congregations ever gathered in that historic edifice. Mr. Carl Johnson of Philadelphia has been appointed as an elevator conductor in the Treasury department here. Word comes that the roof of the Whited High School at Durham, N.C., was destroyed by fire a few days ago. No lives were lost and the damage is being rapidly repaired. This is the school with which Miss Vivian Thompson, of this city, is connected as director of domestic science. Mr. R. W. Johnson, formerly editor of "The Colored Press," of Gary, Ind., is an attache of the Efficiency and Economy Commission. Mr. P. J. Joubert, of New Orleans, La. has come to fill a position in the national pension agency, by transfer from his home city. His salary is said to be $1,400 per annum. Senator W. O. Bradley, Kentucky's favorite son and one of the races most outspoken friends in Congress, delivered an eloquent address last Sunday afternoon at Miss Nannie H.

True Forgiveness. Because he had been a naughty little boy—a very naughty little boy—he was sent to bed without any puddling. But in the evening, when his brothers and sisters all were fast asleep, he crept downstairs, a tearful little white-robed figure, and, going into the library, said to his mother: "Mummy, you told me never to go. sleep ill I'd made peace with my enemies; as come down to forgive me, a daddy went so rude to me at dinner tonight." Lannigan had an alisle seat in the front row of the balcony and was enjoying the opera very much. The music did not bore him and, moreover, Daisy Hiltson was with him, and he was enjoying Daisy's society even more than the opera. He reflected that he had simply wasted his time taking other girls to the opera, when he might have engaged Daisy for the entire season if he had his writs about him. Lannigan, however, felt complacent and at peace with the world. At the first intermission a band tapped Lannigan's shoulder. "Let me see your checks, please." quietly said a voice accompanying the hand. Lannigan stiffened indigently. Then, fishing in his pockets for his checks, he frostily passed them back over his shoulder. "Wrong seats," murmured the voice, "Sorry, but you belong on the other side of the house." "The dickens I do!" Lannigan exploded. "These are season tickets, I'd have you know. I've sat here all winter—" "Sorry!" said the imperturbable voice, "but the people who own these seats are waiting for 'm, and you'll have to move." Lannigan absolutely choked with rage. That this should happen of all nights on the night when Daisy was with him! He controlled himself with an effort and spoke out of the side of his mouth over his shoulder: "I shouldn't move!" "Sorry!" said the inexorable voice. "I hope you won't make a scene. If you don't go I'll have to put you on" Lannigan boiled over. "I'll take a bigger man than you are to do that!" he said very audibly. "You confounded—" "Oh, I'm big enough," drawled the voice, insultingly. Lannigan, whirling around with blood in his eyes, confronted the grinning face of Phillips, one of his best friends. Daisy giggled audibly. "I thought I'd die!" she gasped, mopping her eyes with a whip of haunderkleef. "Really, I never saw anything done more cleverly, Mr. Phillips. I didn't recognize you at first myself; this light is so dlm. I never saw anything. I was in perfectly bolliger's." Phillips never will know how near he was to going over the railing." declared Lannigan, grimly, still weak from the shock. It quite spoiled the opera for him. Besides upsetting his calmness mind and his self-satisfaction, he had an additional worry. He did not at Phillips Daley's own admission of brightness, Philligan at the moment. In the curtail where the blowing of strokes pointed the way. Then he had an inspiration. "Phillips is so frightfully carolless," Lannigan told Daley a week later when again he was taking her to it opera. "He'll never once look at it dates. Oh, I wrote him the nicest son of note. I told him that I thought owed it to him and hoped he could us my opera seats tonight as I could not—and I sent him tickets for a month ago that I didn't use. I know him—he'll ask some girl and when the man at the door turns him down he'll have to buy seats—and I hope everything's the most esteens. That'll serve him right!" "How awfully funny!" giggled Daisy Hilton. "Really, that's terribly bright, Mr. Lannigan. How clever it was of you to of that think." Lannigan beamed. He felt comfortable again and fully reinstated in Daisy's admiring opinion. Almost obstreperously he presented his tickets to the man at the door. There was a colloquy. Then taking Daisy by the arm, Lannigan led her out of the crush and, with a muttered "Excuse me just a moment, please," he vanished. What's the matter?" Daisy asked, bewildered when he returned from the ticket office. Lannigan looked confused. "Oh nothing," he said, heavily. "Only—well, you see, I made a mistake and sent Phillips the tickets for tonight. I brought along the old ones myself." —Chicago Daily News. Bath Somewhat Too Warm Bath Somewhat Too Warm.

The peanut gallery went wild over the acts, except one, and that was DeBar & Co., novelty magicians, at which, in the language of the gods, "was punk." We know it was punk because Mr. James Woodard said so, he being an old hand at the game himself. He and his wife were in abax at the opening and the DeBar's first trick went wide. Mr. Woodard told the management he could not stand for a fake like that and strange to say, DeBar magically disappeared. Mour, Tabor and John Green, Chicago boys, and South Siders at that, in the porter and bellhop, brought down the house. On the piano, Goo, Nagel & Co. were extremely good.

IMPERIAL CLUB AROUND THE FESTIVE BOARD Popular Organization of Young Folks Make Merry Wednesday Night. The zero weather Wednesday night had no terrors for the members of the Imperial club and their friends for they were ensconced in the cosy residence of Mr. Harvey Jeffrey, 3133 Wabash avenue. It was the occasion of one of the club's famous banquets. It was arranged for the members but there were quite a few guests present.

It is on a piece of stone 8x4 inches in size and was probably written 3,500 years ago in Egypt. The prescription is written in the old curved stone and is written in the old curved tern. the compound being a remedy that was used for a fumigation. If a Lamp Is Too Fult.

Bazars take the place of department stores in Bagdad. The word "bazar" means bargain, but in the Turkish sense it is generally applied to a series of shops forming a continuous row on both sides of a thoroughfare. As Turkish streets are narrow, often only eight or ten feet wide, congestion results. The shops themselves are small, the more commodious being only eight by ten feet, and the smaller ones by six feet. One whole side opens on the business floor. In Bagdad, writes the American consul, bazars are divided into several classes, according to the location and the wares sold. The classification follows: Karia bashi is the name of the bazar where groceries, candies and liquids are sold. Sugel-shorja is where fruits and vegetables are sold. The name is also applied to the district, and it is generally understood that the drug stores are in the bazar sugel-shorja, though it is so only by accident. In the sugel-sarai wearing apparel, haberdashery, antiques and rugs are sold. Sugel-scharchei is the bazar where Bagdad-made cloth, such as prints, calico and silk goods, is sold. Yemenchin is the bazar where native shoes are manufactured and sold. Sugel-sefaifar is the coppermills bazar. The copper is beated and worked while hot inside the shops, but the cold sheet copper is lammered into shape out in the street. The copper occupied by the blacksmiths, the tailors and carpenters. The blacksmiths make hats, masks, locks and horse and donkey shoes. The tin smith: manufacture f vessels, pits, water cans and lanterns. The carpenters make practically all the furniture used there and coffins, doors and door and window frames. Different bazars are segregated in different parts of the city, and the district often takes the name of the bazar. Some bazars are also named after the district in which they are situated, there being no sharp divisions of the bazar according to the material sold. An example is the bazar Sugel-hanoon in the Jewish district, which is said to be patronized by Jews only. In each bazar there is a khan for every ten or twelve shops. These khans are two stories high and have an open court in the center, the rooms on the four sides all opening into the court. A large door leads from the open court into the street. The rooms in the khan are let to the different shopkeepers for their surplus wares. Each bazar has a coffee shop, which is a large open place partly covered by a roof, where a large number of cheap wooden settees are arranged in rows. Any one who sits down in a coffee shop first gets a cup of Turkish coffee and then a native pipe in which Shirza tobacco is smoked. The charge for the coffee and the use of the pipe is about two cents. The Tea for the queens Pasha is the "bourge" for those less businessless people. Here the merchants gather to discuss trade bills and other subjects. Repris statutes of the banks ascertain here the number of bills to be taken up and secure the facts from which they can determine the exchange rates for bills and for foreign coins. The rates are practically determined in the coffee shops. Warning Against Poison To prevent accidents with bottles containing poison, buy a dozen tiny bells, and every time a bottle of poison is brought to the house tie a bell to the neck of the bottle. Even in the dark the bell will tinkle its warning. Another good way is to paste a piece of standpaper securely to the top of the cork. One can easily detect the rough surface and thereby know the contents. Plants can be left on the window sill at night in very cold weather if a newspaper is placed between the window and the plants. The plants will not freeze is this is done. A successful way to restore pearl buttons to their original brightness and beauty is first rub them with a little olive oil, to take away the blurred look; then sprinkle with nail powder and rub well with chamols skin. To preserve stories or articles from magazines, do not cut or tear out the pages. Take the entire magazine to pieces by removing the wire clasps and separating the pages. This will leave neat, wide margins on the stories you save and will facilitate rebinding them. New Arctic Cruise Pedro Christofferson, a rich Norwegian living in Buenos Aires, whose contributions largely assisted in the equipment of the expedition which discovered the south pole, has recently furnished the money necessary to complete the Amundsen expedition into the north polar regions. The ship of this explorer will be fitted out in San Francisco and will sail in June, 1913, with supplies for five years, although it is expected to accomplish the objective of the voyage in three years. The vessel will be sent as far north in the Bering sea as possible and then, entering the ice, will drift, Greenland, and it is hoped to get nearer the north pole in the vessel than did any of the previous expeditions. No special effort will be made to seek the pole, but the expedition will make a number of investigations and observations which may be of great value.

Greathouse Employed as an Expert Scientist in the Bacteriological Division of Bureau of Chemistry at Washington. Washington—In the work which is being done by the government to insure a supply of absolutely good oysters, a leading part is being taken by a young woman, Miss Ruth C. Greathouse by name, who is kept busy when who oyster season is at its height. Miss Greathouse is one of the expert scientists of the bacteriological division of the bureau of chemistry in Washington, and has done some of its most important work. Under the bacteriological division comes all the inspection of oysters and shellfish of all sorts, as well as the testing of the milk supply. Oysters may be tested for disease germs, usually typhoid, gathered from the waters in which the oyster beds are located, or they man be tested to determine their fitness for food under the requirements of the law. "It all sounds very difficult," she said one day in speaking of her work, "but it's like a good many other things, it isn't half bad when you know more about it. Wherever it is possible a man inspector is sent out with any young woman. "But naturally it isn't always convenient to send two on one undertaking, so then I go alone. I manage the small laboratory all right but of course I can't the big one. For that, however, there are always trainmen or station men, or boatmen or wharfmen, somebody anxious to be nice." Looking into those blue eyes and at the crinkles in her hair one is quite sure that "somebody is always anxious to be nice." Having seized the suspected oysters the laboratory must be set up promptly. Sometimes it's a vacant store room, sometimes in a freight warehouse at the station or on the wharf, or it may even be on an old barge that never heard the word science. Setting up the laboratory means opening the big case and taking therefrom a gasoline lamp, a jar of a seaweed product for making a sort of gelatine used in the work, and a limeless tumber of small flat glass plates with inch high rims fitting one within the other. The laboratory set Miss Ruth C. Greathouse. up, everything is ready for the "bug hunt." When the slippery bivalve has been vivisected his remains are transferred to the glass plates and the plates filled up with the seawed gelatine, seawed gelatine being regarded as an especially happy atmosphere for the growth and prosperity of "bugs." As testing oysters also contemplates testing the water from which they have been brought, if the oysters are seized at the point of shipment, Miss Greathouse must promptly visit the oyster beds and bring back to the laboratory vials of the water in which the oysters were grown and submit it to scientific tests. In the course of a very short time the embryo "bugs," if any existed in the oysters, have grown to husky maturity, and being discovered under microscope to be ready for the transference they are placed in vials of alcohol and are sealed. Later they will be introduced as evidence when the case comes up for trial. MAKE $800 DAILY ON CATS Just Read How This Skowhegan, Malne, Man Has It All Figured Out.
