Mr. John Arthur Johnson, champion PRACTICAL TRAINING heavyweight pugilist of the world, was AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Hampton, Va., May 16.—At the last annual meeting of the American Association of Economics, Dr. H. C. Taylor, Professor of Agricultural Economics in the University of Wisconsin, salid: "When I visited Hampton Institute (some two and a half years ago) I found they had inaugurated a system of cost accounts on their school farm. This was the first set of accounts of this character that I have seen applied to a college farm. We had kept cost accounts on several farms in Wisconsin for some time but had not applied the system to the university farm. Seeing that Hampton had applied the system successfully, with valuable results in economies of operation, I went home determined that our university farm should also be under a system of accounts. The fact that Hampton was ahead of us on this point made it easier to bring about the application of cost accounting on our university farm, which is now operated under a complete set of accounts. Thus, while Wisconsin has a reputation for leadership, as a matter of fact Hampton has led Wisconsin in the application of a practical business system to the operation of a college farm." "One of Hampton's bricklayers worked for a contractor in Petersburg last year, and later, in commending the work of the student, the contractor said it was the first time he had employed a Negro mechanic, and if Hampton could furnish him with enough men as well trained he would do all his work with Negro labor. This is only one of many such statements the Trade School has had from different contractors." A large number of persons were attracted Monday last to the Johnson undertaking establishment, 33d and State streets, from where it was learned that a coroner's inquest was being held over the body of Mrs. Laura Black of 3402 Vernon avenue. The investigation resulted in finding the death of Mrs. Black was due to a wound inflicted with a fruit knife, penetrating to the lung, at the hand of a 17-year-old girl, one Mary Murray, two weeks previous to the death of Mrs. Black. The fact brought out in the case revealed that the Murray girl had attended a social party, some of the Black family attending also, Mary did not appear at her home until the morning and informed her mother that she had accompanied the Blacks home and remained with them over night. This story did not satisfy her mother, who at once called at Mrs. Black's and received from her a complete denial that Mary remained at her house all night. This statement so angered the girl that she called at Mrs. Black's house and gave way to a tirade of abuse, which Mrs. Black resented, and pushed her out of the room and down several stairs, which so enraged the girl that she rushed to Mrs. Black and stabbed her with a fruit knife, making the wounds that caused her death. The girl was held to answer the charge of murder. Dr. Buckner was the attending physician. Attorney F. L. Barnett appeared as counsel for the girl. We learn that she has a sister, brother and parents living in the city. The funeral of Mrs. Black took place at Olivet Baptist Church Thursday afternoon and the remains were taken south for interment. --- --- A Fearless HONEST CHAMPION of the People --- Mr. John Arthur Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, was found guilty Tuesday night by a federal jury of violating the Mann act against trafficking in women. This verdict came as a surprise to his many friends and admirers, who have followed the champion throughout his many troubles. But a jury of his peers found him guilty. The entire world believes that he had a fair and impartial trial. He is satisfied. "I made a game fight and I lost, but I am satisfied," he said. The Chicago Defender is also satisfied. It has championed the champion when no one else would, its only object being to secure fair play. The Verdict. The return was made before Federal Judge G. A. Carpenter. Johnson was declared guilty on seven counts. The maximum penalty for the crime of which Johnson was convicted is five years in the penitentiary or a fine of $5,000, or both. It is possible he may escape the full penalty of the crime for which he was charged, but it is improbable that he will get away with a simple fine. Jury Out Ninety-eight Minutes. The jury was out one hour and thirty-eight minutes. The indictment charged transportation of Belle Schreiber, a white woman, from Pittsburgh to Chicago for immoral purposes. The indictment originally contained eleven counts, four of which charged crimes the details of which Judge Carpenter refused to permit the jury to hear. These four counts were dismissed by the government. Four ballots were taken by the jury. The first two were test votes. They stood eight for conviction and four for acquittal. On the third ballot the number for acquittal had been reduced to two. The final ballot stood solid for conviction. After the verdict had been read by Clerk Clausen, Attorney Benjamin Bachrach, counsel for the champion, demanded a poll of the jury. Motion for New Trial. The formal question was put to each of the jurymen, and all answered the verdict as read was the verdict of each. Bachrach then made a motion for a new trial. Judge Carpenter set May 19 as the date for hearing arguments on this motion. A force of deputy marshals surrounded "Jack" a moment after the verdict of guilty was read. Mr. Parkin made a motion to place Johnson in the custody of the marshal. The motion was overruled by the judge, who announced the champion would be released on the $30,000 bond which he gave last fall at the time the first indictments were returned by the federal grand jury. During the wait for the jury Johnson sat chatting with his attorneys and several friends. To all questions put to him Mr. Johnson said: "I have nothing to say; not a thing," he answered. "My attorneys will speak for me." "I can't account for the verdict," said Attorney Bachrach. "The case was a hard one, but I was confident of an acquittal." HUNT FOR AUSTIN SEEMS FRUITLESS Search for Desperado All but Abandoned—Seen in Chicago (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Savannah, Ga., May 16—Richard Austin, the South Carolina desperado, for whom search has been made in the river swamps around Savannah for the last several days, seems to have completely eluded his pursuers. The posse that went into Screven county yesterday returned tonight without their man. They went through the territory around Sylvania thoroughly without result. A search of the Black Creek swamp region was also fruitless. The report that he had been captured at Montieth proved to be an error. A suspect was taken there, but investigation showed that he was the wrong man. The posse, weared with the long search, is ready to give up in despair. It is now admitted that Austin seems to have made good his escape. The majority of the South Carolinians will now return to their momes, but a few of the harder ones have elected to continue the search. It is suggested that Austin may have made his way into Savannah and to be now completely hidden in the Negro section of Yamacraw. The local police department scouts att he idea of such a possibility. A man answering his description was seen in Chicago, but he got away.

Louisville, Ky., May 16.—The Kentucky State Medical Association held their convention here this week on Wednesday and Thursday. A large body of medical work was in attendance. Much enthusiasm was manifest throughout the state. Dr. Daniel H. Williams was special guest of the meeting and performed operations each day and was assigned to special work in the discussion of medical topics before the convention. Dr. Geo. N.

The association this year had the largest attendance ever recorded by any state organization in the United States. SOUTHERN NEGRO AND PROSPERITY The Booker T. Washington Trip Through Virginia—His Gospel —Climax of the Trip. NO RACE PROBLEM IN GLOUCESTER COUNTY. By Wm. A. Aery. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Hampton, Va., May 16.—Dr. Booker T. Washington, accompanied by Major Moton of Hampton Institute and a party of colored leaders, recently spent four days in making an educational extension tour through four prosperous counties of Tidewater Virginia—Northampton, Accomac, Mathews and Gloucester. The Washington party was carried from Hampton Institute to Cape Charles, which is on the famous Eastern Shore of Virginia, on the "Dixie," an 80-foot sail and power boat formerly owned by Thomas Dixon. Dr. Washington visited Tidewater Virginia to see at first hand what the colored people are doing, how they are living, what their aspirations are, and if possible, to help them by words of encouragement to further progress. His aim was also to cement more friendly and rational relations between the black men and white men. During his brief stay he many public addresses to some twenty thousand attentive and progressive white people—leading ministers, lawyers, and public-spirited citizens. Dr. Washington worked hard. He was amply repaid, however, by the close hearing and hearty endorsement which he received from his own people and from the best white people. With the keenest insight into Southern conditions of life and the possibility of the Negro finding his best field of action in the Southland, with its genial climate, rich soil, and good white people, Dr. Washington gave the colored people of Virginia some wholesome advice. At the same time he was able to show Southern men and women, without giving offense, what their responsibilities are toward the Negroes about them. Dr. Washington's Gospel. Dr. Washington's Gospel. "Both races in the South are embassed by the fact that the worst things are telegraphed over the world, while the best things are known only in the communities where white men and black men are living daily peace and harmony. Every Negro has a white friend, and every white man has his loyal Negro friend. Each race is dependent upon the other. There are no difficulties in the South that white men and black men, working together, cannot settle. There is enough of wisdom, patience, and kindness, in the South to solve all the so-called race problems. White people and black people are going to live in the South for all time." These simple words, addressed with rare force, directness and tact, to thousands of Negroes who are earning an honest living and are living in peace and harmony with their white neighbors, were received with enthusiasm. Dr. Washington urged the colored people everywhere he went to grasp the fundamental things of Life; to get some land, build a good home, start a bank account, become reliable and progressive in labor, remain in the South on the land, keep out of Northern cities, economize time and money, draw the line hard and tight against leafers, gamblers, and drunkards, get an education which fits for service. Dr. Washington does not talk about the Southern man. He talks to him and always receives a patient, sympathetic hearing. In his Virginia addresses Dr. Washington showed that the Negro has always stood by the white man, even under the most trying circumstances. "Now," says Dr. Washington, "we want you to stand by us. We want you to help us get better schools, longer terms, and better teachers for the country districts." Then, turning to the colored people, Dr. Washington said: "That which in the past has made the Southern people hesitate about the education of the Negro has been the question as to whether or not he could use that education to produce more riches, more (Continued on page 7.)

Dunne Commends People of Springfield for the Advancement of the Race at 50th Anniversary of Old Folks Home. Special to The Defender from a Staff Correspondent. Springfield, Ill., May 16.—Governor Dunne was the principal speaker at the "Illinois Half 'Century Freedom Exposition" held last week at the Illinois Old Folks and Orphans' Home, 429 South Twelfth street. The celebration also marked the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the home. Governor Dunne, who was accompanied by Adjutant General Dickson, during his remarks commented upon the progress that had been made by the race during the past fifty years or since the time they were given their freedom. The governor complimented the people for taking enough interest in their freedom to plan for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary. "It shows that you appreciate your liberation and that you are possessed of human souls. It is to your credit," said Governor Dunne. "Fifty years ago you were practically deprived of education, but now it is different." A Frugal Race. The chief executive of the state also spoke of the frugality of the race, declaring that during the last fifty years they had accumulated property worth approximately $500,000,000. This, he said, was an average for each person of $50. To show that the race people gave thought to educational and religious matters, Governor Dunne stated that statistics showed that one-tenth of their wealth was given to the worship of a Christian God and further that another tenth was dedicated to the education of the young. This, he declared, is evidence that the race people are advancing and for that reason they are entitled to the sympathy of not only their own people, but of the white people as well. The entire program was an interesting one, and was listened to by many interested in the home and its work. Fifty Years of Freedom. The program, although given to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the home, was also for the purpose of creating interest in the proposed exposition of 1915, to celebrate the fifty years of freedom that have been enjoyed by the race. Many of those who listened to the program spent some time inspecting the Old Folks' and Orphans' Home, as the guest of Mrs. Eva Monroe, in charge of the home. The home is in excellent physical condition and the guests were enthusiastic in their praise of the appearance of the institution. To demonstrate the progress that had been made by the people, works of art were on exhibition in tents placed in the rear of the home. Drawings, paintings and domestic science work were hung on the walls and attracted considerable attention. Some Pushing.

[Special to The Chicago Defender.] Baltimore, Md., May 16.—The annual thanksgiving services of local lodges of the Grand United Order of Odd Pollols were held at Ames Memorial M. E. Church Sunday afternoon. The Rev. Dr. A. L. Gaines, pastor of Waters A. M. E. Church, preached a special sermon. The Baltimore branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held a public meeting at Grace Presbyterian Church Tuesday night. The Young Men's Christian Association is now collecting the second installment of the $31,000 subscribed by the people of Baltimore toward a $100,000 home for the association. A rally and reception for the six teams that are engaged in collecting the money was held Monday night. W. F. De Bardeleben, general secretary of the association, is hopeful that the $10,000 mark will be reached within the next 30 days. The Rev. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, lectured at Whatcoat M. E. Church Tuesday night. Mme. E. Azalia Hackley gave a recital at Sharp Street Memorial Church Monday night. Her superior ability as a singer and demonstrations in physical culture won the plaudits of the fair audience present. While in the city she was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. E. J. Wheatley of 1230 Drud Hill avenue. W. Ashbie Hawkins and School Commissioner Bibbins were the principal speakers at the May meeting of the Baltimore Educational Association. Memorial services for Mrs. Fannie Jackson Coppin, deceased wife of Bishop Levi J. Coppin, were held at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church Sunday. The Rev. D. S. Sincoe is in the city giving recitals in scenes from Shakespeare. Through the efforts of Councilman Harry S. Cummings action on the proposed new segregation law has been postponed. It is probable that the decision of the Court of Appeals on Judge Elliott's decision in deciding against the validity of the measure will be awaited. W. Ashbie Hawkins, who made the fight against the law just declared invalid, will also conduct the appeal before the highest tribunal in the states. There are many whites who are insisting that a new law be passed immediately, and the Baltimore Sun is making a fight to stir up prejudice between the races by alleging that local outside colored capitalists are trying to secure property in the wealthiest neighborhoods of the city. Dr. Booker T. Washington to Be the Speaker—Give Mammoth Jubilee Concert. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Nashville, Tenn., May 16—Preparations are under way at Fisk University for commencement, which takes place Wednesday, June 11. Five members will represent the graduating class on the program. The commencement address will be delivered by Dr. Booker T. Washington, a member of the Board of Trustees of Fisk University.

The trustees are making every effort to complete the fund of $300,000 by June 1, having nearly $100,000 still to raise. The university is looking with hope to its friends for the completion of this fund by that time. On Tuesday night, May 15, the students and local alumni, under the leadership of Prof. John W. Work, gave a mammoth jubilee concert at Ryman Auditorium, the largest assembly hall in the city of Nashville. A chorus of over 300 voices was the main feature of the program. LAUNCH INSURANCE CO.

THE WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PRICE 5 ONLY REV. BRADDON ROUTES RELIGIOUS RASCAL Southern Race Agitator Runs Riot in "The World in Chicago" But Is Given His Quietus by the Fighting Chaplain of the 8th Infantry I. N. G. and His Friend Rev. Martin—Management Upholds Protest and Praises the Four Hundred or More Workers. A Sensational Arrangement of the People of African Blood—Missionary to Africa Tries to Start Trouble Among the Races—Valliant Soldiers of the Cross, However, Are on Guard—Villifier of the Race Takes to the Tall Timber—Is Shown No Quarter — Management on the Square. One Reverend Richardson, proclaimed to be a missionary to Africa from the A. M. E. Church for the past thirty years, has endowed to stir up race prejudice at the "World in Chicago" meeting, but he failed miserably and the credit is due to Reverend Wm. S. Braddon, pastor of the Berean Baptist Church, and to Reverend Martin, pastor of the Bethesda Baptist Church. Centered around this brief announcement is the most sensational attempt to stir up race prejudice—and that along religious lines. "Why the Negro Is Black" was the subject of the so-called missionary's lecture, and the sessions of the "World in Chicago" had run almost ten days before attention was called to this Southern renegade, whose only object evidently was gain. Rev. Braddon to the Rescue. So rank and insulting was this lecture that many of the members and officials of Berean Baptist Church made complaint to their pastor, who is the manager of the race section in this wonderful religious demonstration. Rev. Braddon took prompt notice. He hunted up his colleague, Rev. Martin, and they made several efforts to hear the lecture themselves. A white lady, however, supplied the needed information, and they bearded the lion in his den. The Reverend (?) endeavored to defend his cause, but under the hot fire of indignation by Rev. Braddon he lost his nerve and grasped as the last straw the support of the management. But he reckoned in vain, for in a last attempt to help the race the Revs. Braddon and Martin themselves appealed to the management and received a prompt and hearty support. Race Has No Origin. The Negro is black because he can't help it. The skin, naturally dark, can not be changed. The white man is likewise; his skin is light, and can not be changed. The Negro has no hair; the growth upon his cranium is nothing but stubble. If the Negro has hair, the white man has none. An unpleasant odor from a white man's breath is soon forgotten but a Negro has a natural odor so strong that it cannot be overcome. That he is naturally hard-headed, that he only acquires the smallest element of education. "Is this your argument?" ask Rev. Braddon. "Yes!" said the indignant pastor as he handled the card of the soldier-preacher. "You are injuring our race and we want you to stop it." "Can you prove the contrary?" "Yes!" said Rev. Braddon. All Men Created Equal. "Biblically all men were created equal and you know it. You talk about hair, that's immaterial, and the other points that you mentioned all clearly demonstrate that the tropical sun is turning you crazy." Here Rev. Richardson offered his platform to Rev. Martin to refute the statements, but Rev. Martin refused in favor of Rev. Braddon. This did not suit the missionary of thirty years' experience and argument waxed hot. "I would not allow you five minutes on my platform!" said Rev. Richardson. "And it would not take me five seconds to show, you that you do not know the fundamental principles of religion" replied Rev. Braddon. There were not any blows. Richardson tore up the card in his hand and Revs. Braddon and Martin sought the management. Race Disturbers Quieted. An appeal to the management showing that the lecture of Rev. Richardson was detrimental to the spirit of the meeting and to the race met with a prompt response. The erstwhile converter from sin to faith was dealt with summarily. "Why the Negro Is Black" was forbidden in his future subjects and the race scored a signal victory. "Why!" said a prominent official, "more than four hundred ardent Christians of the colored race are identified with this movement and Rev. Richardson nor no one else will be allowed to insult them." A reporter for The Chicago Defender took in his efforts to interview this race agitator, but Rev. Br at his residence, 5008 5th avenue, con- firmed the details of this article and was loud in his praise of the man- agement of the exposition with whom he has been associated for the last ten months. He said that it was a Christian body, broad-minded and on the square. CARTOONIST WEDS CHICAGO BELLE One of the prettiest little romances of the month has at last been bared by the marriage of Miss Nanna M. Reld, formerly of New York City, to Mr. Langston Mitchell, also formerly from the East. Mr. Mitchell first met Miss Reld while on a secret mission to New York in the interests of the Hearst publications, by which he is employed. Miss Reld was then a manicure on THE DIXON Mr. Langston Mitchell. America's most fashionable train, the 20th Century Limited. From that day what was to follow seemed inevitable, as later on they were more conventionally presented to each other by their mutual friends. The little romance finally terminated in their being quietly wedded Wednesday, May 7th, much to the surprise of their many friends and admirers. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell are pleasantly situated in Kenwood where they have beautiful apartments; Mr. Mitchell now being stationed locally with the Chicago Examiner, of which he is one of the art staff, probably the only American Negro to reach such distinction with a world-famous news paper organization.

In speaking to a reporter for the Defender, Mrs. Ogburn said: "Why, my! had I known married life was like this I would have been married years, years ago." She will be at home to her friends, May 25, and will give up her business at 3522 State street, where she had been in business for the past year. Sometimes True. A friend's three-year-old little girl, upon being asked if she would like some vegetable soup, replied: "I would like some more soup, but I don't want any more of the garbage." Samuel Fielding, the prince of good fellows, will spend his vacation touring the state in an automobile. Samuel says he is anxious about the condition of the berry crop. Mr. William H. Clark was at Springfield, Ill., on Tuesday of this week on political business. Mr. Clark is a staunch friend of Governor Dunne and Senator James Hamilton Lewis. Dr. Harry Garnes, dentist at 36th and State streets, has returned to the city from a visit to his home to see his sister, who goes abroad soon. Dr. Garnes states that the flood played havoc in his home state, but that things are looking better now. Dr. Garnes arrived in time to be a guest at the Carter Villa banquet on Wednesday evening. Miss Bertha Moseley, the charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Moseley, has decided to take a summer course at the Chicago University, where she is now a student. Miss Moseley expects to finish at this institution early next season. Miss Maud Roberts of this city, who has been teaching at Jackson, Miss. (Lane College), is expected home at an early date. Dr. Tom Boger and Dr. Le Count Cook expect to be full-fledged physicians with the sanction of the state board at an early date. Both are progressive and enterprising young men. Mr. Jesse Binga, the banker at 36th and State streets, went to West Baden, Ind., last week and spent several days on business. We call attention to an ad. in the classified section referring to a lot situated on West 39th place for sale at $450. This is actually $150 less than its worth. It is close to the immense Crane institution, where over 4,000 people will be employed. It can readily be seen that for a residence or for speculative purposes this is an exceptional opportunity. The property is owned by a non-resident, a friend of the publisher. If you have a little cash you want to double upon, better jump at this right now. We recommend it, however, to anyone desiring a good residence location The lot is full 32 feet wide and the only one of this size left in the locality. Mr. De Witt Curtis was in Washington, D. C., some weeks ago and he states that there are some very fine girls at the capital city. It is said that he is especially interested in one of them. Mr. Richard Weeks of Wilmington, Del, visited Dr. and Mrs. C. L. Jefferson last Sunday, and had the pleasure of looking in on Hope church. Mrs. Lou Ella Young, deputy of the Grand Fountain, U. of R., is visiting Indiana this week in interest of the Rosebud convention, which will meet in East St. Louis in June. Mrs. J. W. Woodlee, 3561 Rhodes avenue, attended the Lady Elliott Circle dance on Monday night. She was one of the most attractively gowned women there, hers being of a beautiful soft material. She was resplendent with beautiful diamonds. O. W. Collins, Sr., chemist for the R. W. Hunt Bureau of Inspection, has been ordered to the Cincinnati office of the above firm for a stay of one month. Arrivals at Hotel Washington—Mr. Albert James, Mississippi; Mr. A. D. Jones, Raleigh, N. C.; Mr. G. Williams, Oklahoma. Dr. Leonard W. Lewis has reopened his office at the northwest corner of 35th and State streets. Telephone Haymarket 2772. Mrs. John Moore, 4944 State street, late of Memphis, Tenn. Seventh Day Adventist church, gave a birthday party on Thursday evening at the residence of Mrs. L. Nolan, 5132 Dearborn street. A number of friends from Memphis, Nashville and the church were in attendance. Announcement of Coming Nuptial at Party by Mrs. M. D. Wiley. The following article appeared in The Defender in the issue of May 3, but is now being republished because of the fact that two of the parties' names were misspelled. We wish to add that on a recent visit to Miss Williams' residence a Defender reporter found her dressmaker busy making up several beautiful gowns for her trip to California. Tuesday evening at 3601 Forest avenue Mrs. M. D. Wiley of Springfield, Illinois, announced the engagement of her friend, Miss Estelle Williams, to Mr. Hanabel Black; the wedding will take place early in August. The happy couple will spend two years in Oakland, Cal., after which they will return to Chicago to take possession of their own home. The evening was one of pleasure, only ladies being present, which was the feature of the evening. There were three prizes: a beautiful silk pillow, and morning lace cap, both made by Miss Williams. The third prize was a beautiful picture of "Motherhood." The results were as follows: First prize to Mrs. C. Allen, whose score was 41; second prize to Mrs. C. Lett, whose score was 40; third prize to Mrs. M. D. Wiley, whose score was 39. Those present were Mesdames C. Lett, Fitzgerald, M. D. Wiley; S. Allen, C. Allen, Mattie Thornton, T. Chlvers, Geo. Thompson, Georgia. Miss Laura Sample was score keeper. Many a man can't afford to get a tailor made suit, simply because his wife gets hers that way.—Waldo Banton. ANNUAL SESSION, African Methodist Episcopalians Meet in Bethel Church—Changes in Pulpits, [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Wilmington, Del., May. 16.—The 97th annual session of the Philadelphia Conference, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church began here Wednesday morning at Bethel Church. Following the administering...of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, Bishop Evans Tyree, who is presiding, delivered a brief address and announced the various committees. There are nearly 200 ministers and laymen in attendance. Besides transacting routine matters, fraternal greetings will be received from delegations representing the New Jersey, and Baltimore Conferences. Among the prominent churchmen expected to speak are Bishop L. J. Coppin, Bishop John Hurst, Dr. R. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder, the Rev. J. I. Lowe, manager of the A. M. E. Publishing House; Dr. G. F. Woodson, dean of Payne Theological Seminary; Dr. R. C. Ransom, editor of the A. M. E. Review; the Rev. F. J. McDonald, editor of the Western Christian Recorder; the Rev.

A new pastor will be sent to Bethel Church, Harrisburg, to succeed Dr. R. William Fickland, who has been transferred to the Baltimore Conference and will be stationed at Bethel Church, Baltimore. Bishop Tyree is expected to preach Sunday morning and later the ordination of deacons and elders will take place. SICK LIST. Little Louis and Sousie Johnson, twins of Mr. and Mrs. Albert E. Johnson, 822 Eastwood avenue, are ill of measles, but Jessie and Albert, Jr. are reported much improved. Mr. Wesley Plummer, the well-known politician, was taken to Provident hospital on Thursday afternoon and operated on for appendicitis. The prognosis is favorable. Mrs. Cora Price of Maywood is ill at Provident hospital after an operation there early this week. Her many friends wish her a speedy recovery. The following persons are reported ill by St. Mark's M. E. Church: Mrs. Anna Floyd, Mrs. Irene Lee, Mrs K. B. Garner, Miss Hazel Williams, and Mr. James Cook. Miss Daisy Sampson of the Visiting Nurses' Association has been at home for several weeks at the bedside of her sick mother. Mrs. Sampson was much better this week and Miss Sampson was able to return to work on Wednesday of this week. Dr. U. G. Dailey was the attending physician. Mr. Charles Jackson still remains ill at Provident hospital. His many friends wish him a speedy recovery. Mrs. W. C. Keets, 3836 Vabash avenue, is convalescing after being confined to her bed for two weeks. Mr. Isaac Calbert, 505 East 36th street, is confined to his bed because of illness. Little Vernon Hudson, who fell while at play and fractured his nose, has fully recovered from his injury and his nose is in perfect condition again. Dr. D. E. Burroughs attended him. Dr. Nichol was confined to his bed for two days of last week. Associate Physician Dr. Dordan Jackson in attendance. Mrs. Benjamin Sayres of 63d and Carpenter streets is on the sick list; also Mrs. Lula Bailey of 6227 Loomis boulevard. Mrs. Thomas Bland, 1733.

Mrs. M. E. Weekly of 3223 Wabash avenue, who was knocked down by a man endeavoring to catch a street car, the result leaving her in a critical condition, is reported to be improving at this time. Mrs. A. Fisher of Wentworth avenue is convalescent. HYDE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD SETTLEMENT. There is a great opportunity open to the women and girls at the Hyde Park-Neighborhood Settlement, 5623 Jefferson avenue. As advantages are rarely given to our people, the workers at this institution feel that the chance to learn something of value ought to be accepted. A dressmaking school, with Mrs. Ida V. Jones, a graduate and experienced teacher as head, and Mrs. E. Hicks and Mrs. Hulda B. Lewis as assistants, has recently been opened; without charges, all those who will come can take a full course. Such schools are not opening every day in the year, and if the race do not appreciate this one and stop complaining, the white people will take the advantage. The white children already attend in larger numbers than those of the race. THE GREEN-LILLY MILLINERY CO. The Green-Lilly Hat Shop cordially invites you to attend the opening of their new store at 2347 State street, Friday, May 16, and Saturday, May 17, for the inspection of the latest creations in summer millinery.

As we scanned the yellow sheet, only that moment torn from the grimy envelope, Chase Precott groaned aloud. Although he was not a man given to despairing, he could see plainly that the words spelled probable ruin. As acting president of the Wyoming Banking company, with branches in Fremont and Casper, the responsiblity of the twin institutions lay on the shoulders the one-time cashier; from the president, whose account from a dangerous fover seemed improbable, he could expect neither aid nor advice. The telegram read: "Fremont, Wyo. Sept. 23—Chase Precott, The Muddy River House, Run: on bank certain tomorrow. Twenty-five thousand necessary by noon. Come at once yourself, arranging for special train to follow.—Dick Moses." "That's a pleasant message to receive on the eve of one's marriage," he exclaimed. "I wonder what Ia would say to that. Lucky we arranged to be married at her home in Fremont." Chase Prescott glanced at his watch, noting that the hour was eight o'clock. He stepped quickly to the telephone booth, giving his orders clearly and briefly to his associates of the Casper National, closing by telling them that he was about to leave for Fremont on the 9:15 p. m. train. "Have the money on board the special as early as you can tomorrow morning," he admonished. "We must take no chanes. If it wasn't for that confounded new time lock, I'd open the safe tonight, get the coin to Fremont, and have it in the bank there by the time we open for business tomorrow morning." Once in Fremont, Chase Prescott hastened to meet 'Dick Moses, paying teller of the Fremont National, and a brother of the girl who was to become his wife on the morrow. The substance of the information conveyed by Dick Moses was that disgruntled depositor had started in circulation a story that the Fremont National was on its last legs; the news had spread quickly, and but for the fact that the bank closed its doors daily at three o'clock, would have meant ruin that day. On the morrow the bank doors would swing back on their heavy hinges at 9:30 o'clock. The amount of currency and bills in the bank was good, possibly, for a three hours' run; anyway, not for more than that. Everything depended, therefore, on the timely arrival of the special from Casper. The officials went to the bank in a body the next morning. A crowd was already gathered about the building. For an hour there was a steady outflow of carefully counted money through the little wicker over which was the sign "Deposits and Withdrawals." Chase Prescott stood by the big plate glass window, watching the crowd outside. A messenger boy from the nearby telegraph office came running into the bank, all out of breath. Hastily Chase Prescott tore open the envelope. It read: "Casper, Wyo., Sept. 24.—Chase Prescott, the Fremont National, Fremont: Special has left here with twenty-five thousand in currency, Should be in Fremont, barring accidents, by 11:30.—William."+ The face of Dick Moses paled as the pile of currency at his right hand dwindled. Again the messenger boy from the telegraph office was seen running through the crowd, elbowing his way vigorously. This time the scrap of yellow paper was crushed in Chase Prescott's hand. It told of a washout 12 miles away. There had been a dam burst, it said; the money was being brought on by wagon, and would be at the door of the Fremont National with in hour. "In an hour!" groaned the acting president. "In an hour! Great Scott the bank will be 'busted' inside of 20 minutes! No, it shan't be! I say it shan't be!" As he uttered the words, half aloud, he ran out into the street, halling a passing express wagon. Every cent the bank had in its coffers had been placed in full view for effect; and now it was nearly gone. There was not sufficient to last another five minutes. The rumble of the express wagon was again heard, and the crowd in the street was forced to scatter to let it through. It was piled high with bags of precious coin—rough meal sacks, seized on hastily, the most of them were, but the money inside had the rattle and jingle of gold. Without a word, bag after bag was carried inside the big doors. At last the crowd comprehended, cheers split the air, and the line of waiters broke up shamafaced, but satisfied the bank was safe. Thirty minutes later the wagon from the washout arrived, the driver looked more like a man dead than alive, and the horse white with the foam of terrible exertion. "How in the world did you do it?" gasped Dick Moses to Chase Prescott. "The first load was made up of iron washers from your father's hardware store—just iron washers and a few nuts. That was all. Ina got me the key to the warehouse; and the wedding will take place tonight the same as if nothing had happened!" There, was a moisture much like tears of joy in the eyes of both men as they silently but heartily clasped hands. (Copyright by Dafy Story Pub. Co.) Hard to Please.

Herald Reflector. Peculiar Alpine Custom A curious eastern custom has been observed for many centuries in the western Alps. One hundred eggs are distributed over a level space covered with sand and the young men and women perform a dance around them. If a couple are fortunate enough to finish the dance without breaking an egg it is taken as a token of the compatibility of their temperaments and they are betrothed. "So you suspect that men are quicker of judgment in practical matters than women?" asked her friend of the middle-aged spinster. "Yes," replied Miss Cayenne. "Men have heeded the warnings of the newspapers and quit buying gold bricks, but women continue to marry for money." Chivalry interpreted. The phenomena of courtesy and chivalry are simply additional proofs that women have no souls, and that when a man is being "polite" to a woman, he is simply ascribing to her the minimum sense of personal importance is attached precisely in the measure that it is understood.—Weiniger. In Aligiers there is a beautiful mosque used entirely by women. And in Aligiers, too, if a woman dies in childbirth she has ascribed to her all the rich spiritual rewards accorded to martyrs who died in warfare for their religion, and the graves of such women are marked in a special way.

I might have known when I went down The street I'd meet Malindy Brown, She always seems to go that way About the same time every day. We had a quarrel just last night. But things are fixed up now alright. I took her out to dinner and Tonight we're going to the "Grand." Better wait a few days before getting too saucy to the coal man. The colored democrats are waiting for the second table to be served. There seems to be a dearth of lynchings the past month. Has there been a change of heart, or an election of new committees? From present indications there will be the usual batch of June brides. A year's subscription to the Defender makes an admirable wedding gift. The New York Age and The Amsterdam News must have run out of wind, or they have awakened to the felty of throwing mud at each other. In the parlance of the street, this is the "paradeinist" town in the country. If you don't believe it, come over on State street any Sunday afternoon from now until fall. We are inclined to believe the police will in their own little way impress upon the speeding joyriders the advisability of complying with the law. It is difficult to understand why some people can not have just as much fun going at a fair speed as they can at breakneck gait, and then the danger both to themselves and to others should be considered, to say nothing of the misuse of cars, many of which belong to employers. New York City is almost assured of having a Negro Regiment. The Kane bill passed both branches of the legislature without a dissenting vote, and it is expected that Gov. Sulzer will sign it. There was the usual objections from some military authorities on the ground that a new regiment of infantry was not needed, but that was to be expected. They will elect their own colonel and all other officers. Hurrah for New York! The warm weather seems to bring on the usual number of shooting and stabbing affairs, and the police patrols are kept busy rushing these poor unfortunate to hospitals. In variably the quarrel is over some trivial affair, and guns, knives and razors are freely used to settle the arguments. It is unfortunate that the scums of other jetties drift into Chicago and by their misdeeds make it hard for the better. ```markdown ``` law abiding citizens. We should lend every aid to bring these culprits to justice, and a good, long term in our workhouses would be both beneficial to them and to the community. What has become of all of our influential Democrats? For a great many years we have had a number of colored girls in the Recorder's office who have remained under all of the past administrations. Today we have not a representative in that office; they were all discharged at one time. When inquiry was made as to the reason, the answer came: "No Democrats to back them." The Roger Sullivan crowd is in power and a great many of our people helped to put them there. It is one of the plums that we are entitled to, and should insist on having. VOTING RIGHT. By an educational qualification in the Mississippi law a voter must be able to read and understand the American constitution. If he happens to be colored and doesn't vote the Democratic ticket, even though he be able to read the constitution, he is denied the right of franchise because the judges claim he cannot properly? understand the document. So the question of the colored man voting in the state that Vardaman made infamous is settled from a Democratic point of view, no vote unless you vote right. JACK JOHNSON, THAT'S ALL. The Defender's position in the Jack Johnson, many episodes, was done to teach many narrow-minded people that we had a law in this land and the only proper thing to do was to let the law take its course, and when a law becomes obsolete to repeal it, and if you cannot repeal by legislation, then force of arms must be used, which is likely to be used in the south to protect our womanhood there. Jack Johnson said: "I am satisfied they (both judge and jury) treated me fair." The Defender is also satisfied and we are sure the better thinking elements, both white and black, feel the same. All the Defender asked was a fair and impartial trial; he got that and we are all satisfied. In future we hope the better elements will not go off with snap judgment, but let the law take its course, and like Jack says, "I'm beat." PAY THE Y. M. C. A. Extensive plans are being made to dedicate the new Y. M. C. A. building at Thirty-eighth street on June 15. The entire cost of buildings and furnishings is in the neighborhood of $195,000. Toward this sum the following subscriptions have been received: Julius Rosenwald, $25,000; Cyrus H. McCormick, $25,000; N. W. Harris, $25,000; Pullman Co., $10,000; Mrs. Gustave F. Swift, $5,000, while the sum total paid by colored people was but $20,000, they subscribed during the campaign, something over $60,000, and we are ashamed to say but one third of the amount has been forthcoming. The building is erected and maintained for our especial benefit, and those who are in arrears should have pride enough to fulfill their promises. In fact, every public spirited citizen should make substantial subscriptions to this fund in order that the building may be dedicated free of debt. CEMETERY RIGHTS The Supreme Court has been called upon to decide whether the cemeteries in this city are violating the constitution of the United States. In excluding colored people from burial John B. Gaskill buried four children in Forest Home cemetery between 1890 and 1906. In 1912 his wife died and the cemetery company refused him the privilege as a result of a rule it had adopted in 1907, excluding Negroes. The body of his wife still lies in the receiving vault of Waldheim cemetery, awaiting the action of the courts as to the right to be buried with her children. This is happening in Chicago, some little distance above the Mason and Dixon line. It would seem that that is carrying prejudice a little too far. This self-styled "superior race" not only legislates to keep you aloof from them while living, but after you have passed away. No doubt they will want a part of heaven—if they should be fortunate enough to get there—set aside for their especial benefit. Wonderful people, the Caucasian race. WHAT THEY ARE DOING AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE. The current number of the Southern Workman (published by the Hampton Institute Press) is devoted largely to the annual report of the principal of the Hampton School, which shows how the students of this pioneer institution for industrial training as a means to an all-round education, are trained for real life. It deals also with the school's far-reaching extension work and with the results to its Indian students of the withdrawal of government aid. This issue contains also the first of a series of illustrated articles on the Hampton Trade School—"carpentry" and "cabin-making." Another illustrated paper treats of the race problems of modern Egypt. Alanson Skinner, assistant curator of the American Museum of Natural History, concludes his study of the folklore of the Menomini Indians. The editors treat of various subjects discussed at the recent Conference for Education in the south. UNIONS. There is always a first time to everything, and for the first time in the history of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Tin and Steel Workers, a Negro, hailing from Covington, Ky., was a delegate, at their national convention which was lately held in Fort Wayne, Ind. There is only one way for the unions to become effective and that is to admit every man who might be in a position to fill their places during a strike. It is not reasonable to suppose a man out of work would refuse to fill the place of a striaker who has always been hostile to him. The colored man does not pose as a strikebreaker, he is loyal to the unions that admit him. All are laboring men working for the same thing, the almighty dollar. Unionism, if it means anything, means a brotherly interest and a combining of forces for a common good. Prejudice in any form should not be tolerated. If the unions must discriminate, let them confine their discrimination to the class of workmen and not the nationality. EFFICIENCY PRIZE A prize of $100 annually has been offered by Prof. J. E. Spingarn, who is the president of the New York branch of the N. A. A. C. P., to be awarded to the man or woman of African descent and of American citizenship who shall have made the most distinguished achievement during the year in any field of worthy endeavor. His idea being not merely to encourage and reward the decent Negro, but to call the attention of the country to the fact that we produce not criminals and idlers, as many are prone to think, but men of high character and honorable ideals. Comparatively few people know of the good work that is being done by this association all over the country, the reason being that they do not go at a matter with a blare of trumpets and a do lot of idle talk that only can mitigate against them, but where they find their fellow men being unjustly death with, in their quiet but effective way, they bring every pressure to bear to right the wrong and are usually successful. Each member of this association constitutes himself a committee of one to work for the good of the cause, and as the brains of the country are here represented, every moral and financial support should be given these tireless, unselfish humanarians. MONEY TALKS In a little town in Tennessee an organization has been formed for the purpose of inducing members of the race to own their own homes and to aid them in a substantial way. The organization expects to purchase plots of ground and resell, realizing no profit through its operations. The "own something" idea is the best thing that can be instilled into our people. Money talks in every part of this broad land when everything else is strenken dumb. The Jews, a race oppressed as much as our own, is the best demonstration of how a people can force recognition by the use of the almighty dollar. They came to the country practically penniless but determined, their past treatment teaching them the value of unity. They lapped side by side, one for the other, until today they practically rule the financial world. The Jews remain as a standing example to us in many ways, what they have done we can do. This little band of earnest men reaching out to help their brothers, by talk but by their hard earned dollars, is like an oasis in the vast desert of poverty and ignorance. Perhaps in no other city in these United States are there so many beautiful and costly homes owned by our people, but is there the spirit here to help the other fellow lower down to do likewise? Do we not try, to outshine our neighbor in the matter of homes and dress, this spirit of envy and jealousy does not tend to make us broadminded enough to boost the fellow who is on the upward road. An organization such as this little Tennessee town has. would work wonders in a big city like Chicago. . THE EDITOR'S MAIL Japan's attitude, fraught with dignity and reason, in view of California's hostile legislation, undoubtedly will create for her much sympathy from European nations. Since the war of the rebellion, dollar diplomacy has been the keynote of American politics, until instincts of honor and fair play have become lost chords. The Negro in America will be much benefited by the ripples of dissatisfaction touching Japan from shore to shore. In the event of war what enthusiasm will be missing and esprit de corps with such a large percentage of the population of this country chafing and fretting under the stings of race prejudices, Millions of Jews, millions of aliens, millions of Negroes are denied fullest rights and privileges of citizenship through the holier than thou doctrine which is so rampant both North and South. Many statesmen in America even now clearly see the situation. Perhaps the passing of the bill by the legislature of New York creating a place for a Negro regiment is the outgrowth of such foresight crystalized into activity by the Japan incident. To maintain American supremacy without a great army and navy will be quite impossible unless the country internally is entirely at peace and the best of good will obtains. We are confident that this idea, too, pervades deliberations at the White House, and the need of kindly treatment to all classes and colors will be enhanced at home by rumors and ripples of trouble from abroad. Again the incident with Japan drives home to us the fact that no matter of wealth or aggrandizement can do much to clear up a horizon clouded with race prejudice. The treatment accorded the Jew bespeaks the same. The remedy there seems only to lie in the American himself to purge himself of such antipathies, and only a great war or calamity seems to be the adequate leveller to hew his conceits down to normal lines. We are mindful of the truth of the saying that a "phophet is without honor," etc., but we predet that the Negro race in America will owe in the future a great debt of gratitude to Japan. Perhaps, as General Grant advocated after the civil war, it would not have been a bad idea to have placed the emancipated slaves in a state where they could have had their own government, their own navy and flag. Archimedes said: "Give me a place upon which to stand and I will move the world." The Negro is arising from the bed of superstition and poverty, and even he, too, may want a place upon which to stand. DR. LEONARD W. LEWIS. He Can Do It Best.

Keep Healthy A Weekly Talk on Preventative Measures, First Aid Remedies, Hygienics, Sanitation. No Cases will be Diagnosed and No Prescriptions will be Given in This Column. Proper breathing is essential to good health. Our physical health, strength, beauty and vigor depend much on the way we breathe, the kind of air we breathe. Breathing consists of two processes, viz.: The taking of air into the lungs, called inspiration, and the breathing of air out of the lungs, called expiration. INSPIRATION is always active. EXPIRATION may be active or passive; too often it is passive. Our breathing is carried on by the nose, bronchial tubes, lungs and diaphragm. The diaphragm is the most important muscle of respiration and few people know how to use it correctly. It is the partition or muscle that separates the important chest organs from the abdominal zone, and in order to breathe correctly, speak correctly, or to sing correctly, one must understand how to make the upper and downward or the inward and outward excursion of the diaphragm and abdominal muscles in breathing. Men more often use the diaphragm and abdominal muscles in breathing than women; men, as a rule, use the whole lung better in breathing than women; women, as a rule, use the upper part of the chest and lungs for breathing purposes, and largely for that reason consumption is more often found in the lower lobes of the lungs in women than in men in our so-called highly civilized life. Pure air is the best tonic for the lungs. It has been truthfully said that those who are too lazy to breathe deeply and correctly are more likely to have tuberculosis than those who breathe properly. We can live for days, weeks and months without food and drink, but we can only live a few minutes without air. Cultivate the habit of deep breathing. We should practice deep breathing, after removing all restrictions or tight-fitting garments to the waist, and breathe deeply, and slowly, through the nostrils; we may exhale either through the nostrils or mouth, but never take in air through the mouth. The air contains oxygen, a very necessary and important element for purifying the blood and nourishing the tissues. It tends to give the blood a bright, healthy color and rid the tissues of certain waste products, such as carbon dioxide, which is a very poisonous substance. Breathing is an individual affair. One can take in much oxygen or take in little. How Shall We Breathe? As I said before, we should breathe through the nose slowly and deeply. Holist the windows when you first arise in the morning and practice deep breathing for several minutes. We should endeavor to get good, fresh, outdoor air because it is purer and contains the greatest amount of oxygen. The function of the nose is to collect the air, to warm and moisten the air, to make it fit to be received into the lungs. Always in breathing we should be in the correct posture, the head erect, chest extended forward, shoulders thrown back, taking plenty of time in inhaling and retaining the air as long as possible and gradually exhaling it. DON'T BE IN A HURRY AND OVERTAX YOUR LUNGS. Visit the Parks and Woods We spend too much time indoors. Don't remain indoors on Sundays and holidays, or at any time, any more than you are compelled. Take walks in the open air, walk home from your work as often as you can. It will be a nice thing to take a walk with your wife, children or friends through the parks, if you only spend an hour or a half hour after dinner each evening. It would be a nice thing to visit the woods and gather the wild flowers, get close to Nature and Nature's heart, breathe the pure air. The water will soon be warm; now is the time to learn how to swim and to row. The ladies should learn to swim and row as well as the gentlemen. It would be a nice thing to learn to climb the hills once in a while, and while walking and climbing hills learn to practice and cultivate the erect posture. Don't ever sit or stand in a stooping posture because it will cramp your lungs, interfere with your digestive organs, and in constipation and give one stooping shoulders, which will interfere with beauty, poise and symmetry of your physical being. Housing in Relation to Disease. Do you know that the house you live in or visit in bears a close relation—yes, a close causative relation—to many diseases? As this is the season of the year when many people are househunting or moving, let us give you a little friendly caution and advice. In the first place, the room in which we sleep during the night should not be used to sit in during the day. Second, crowding is a bad thing for your health. In some homes at night, every room is occupied; sometimes it is a folding bed in the dining room and a couch or pallet on the floor in the kitchen. Often we crowd this way for the purpose of making our rent, the saving of fuel and other household economy, but we lose a great deal, undermind our health, loss of time, doctors' bills and drug store bills. We should be careful about moving into houses that have been previously occupied (especially old houses) by people that we know nothing about. Many houses WILLIAMS. Dianhragm. Pure Air. Up Healthy A. Wilberforce Williams y Talk on Preventative , First Aid Remedies, s, Sanitation. No Cases Diagnosed and No Pre- s will be Given in This have a long list of deaths from infectious diseases to their credit. Have the landlord clean the house before you move into it, at his expense. Often we feel that a house without being cleaned by the landlord will be a few dollars cheaper, or less rent on the month, and have the intention of cleaning it ourselves before we move into it and then we often move into the house without first cleaning, when, alas! it is too late to clean, the harm is done. Don't live in dark rooms where you must burn gas in the daytime. Don't live in rooms that never see the sunlight. Don't take any of these old houses, although they are large, imposing and beautiful on the outside, and agree to repair the roof, plumbing, pay water tax and do the cleaning. In many of these old houses that have been built and occupied for years by other people, and that are now abandoned and rented to colored people; there are germs of tuberculosis, scarlet fever and many other contagious disease germs in the walls and under the paper of the walls that have been there for years. Rev. J. W. Robinson told his congregation last Sunday that he had been called to officiate at the death of two young persons who had died from tuberculosis within a year; that they were both well and healthy when they moved into this old house; that they both occupied a certain room in the old house and that both died a year from the time they entered that old death-trap room. I myself could give many such instances, where people were well and hearty when they moved into these dark, abandoned houses by other people; and as many as three or four have died of consumption, scarlet fever, phytol fever and other diseases, and I am glad that Rev. J. W. Robinson is taking notice of the housing condition in relation to our people. GIVING CHILDREN A CHANCE. Press Service, Department of Health. In August next there will be held in Buffalo a meeting of scientists that should mean great good to the millions of school children of the civilized world. This meeting will be*known as the International Congress of School Hygiene and the session, August 25 to August 30, will be devoted to calling public attention to the need of extending medical inspection of school children throughout the individual communities of the United States. Educators and public health officials are agreed that the physical welfare of school children demands that this important work of medical school inspection be broadened until it can touch with its beneficial effects every school child in the land. It has been shown by statistics compiled by medical school inspectors—That of all pupils 26 per cent suffer from eye strain. That 6 to 12 per cent suffer from enlarged tonsils. That 12 to 24 per cent suffer from nasal obstruction. That 2 to 5 per cent suffer from defective hearing. That 50 to 75 per cent suffer from decayed teeth. That 10 to 30 per cent suffer from nervous disorders. That 5 to 20 per cent suffer from some deformity. That 1 to 15 per cent suffer from skin diseases. That 1 to 67 per cent suffer from pediculosis of the scalp. The ailments noted are known as minor ailments, but if neglected often lead to serious consequences in later years. In addition they are always a hindrance to the child's normal physical growth and its progress in its school work. They are ailments that are easily cured or remedied by proper medical attention, and children so treated are thus placed on a fair and equal footing with other children who are free from any of the physical defects named. So it is very clear, then, that school hygiene in all its phases, including the providing of clean, well-lighted and properly ventilated classrooms, together with medical inspection of the children themselves, means in the broadest sense of the term, Giving the Child a Chance. This is a day and age when results are demanded in every department of human activity for time, money and labor expended. It costs millions of dollars to educate the children of the land, and in order to get the best results for all this tremendous expense we should see to it that the child has every opportunity to do the best work possible for itself. Unless your doors and windows are well screened it will do little good to use the fly swatter. The swatter is all right to use to kill the few files that get in despite the screens and your vigilance. But it is a waste of time and labor to use the swatter in the unscreened house. Did you do your full share during clean-up week? If not, there is plenty of time left yet, for the reason that the work of making and keeping Chicago the cleanest city of its class in the world is going to be kept up all the summer and way into the fall. A wooden-legged man is very apt to step on a tack with the wrong foot. —W. Baston. Disease Germs. Just His Luck.

It often ecomes a question of choosing be tween two evils, and it Is not always easy to determine which is the greater and which the less. “Sometimes more hell grows out of the continuation of incompatible rela. tlonships than would result from the discontinuance of the same, Who is ‘wise enough to be judge? “This, however, we all know to be true, that no man or woman has 2 right to treat lightly the sacred rite of marriage, and I am tempted to say that society has no right to force two people to live together when the rela- tlonship is damning the lives of the two thus related. I hope no one will misunderstand or misinterpret my meaning, but it 1s seriously question- able whether the economle and social order will be improved by forcing two people to live together who ought not to be together. And yet we know that the civilized world would be re- converted to savagery if soclety at large did not place some restrictions upon the feelings, thoughts and ac- tions of the individual. But.the only final cure for the evils growing out of the granting of divorces must be ef- fected, if indeed effected at all, through the moral law. and not through the civil law. And this is the task of the Christian church. It is faith in the living God. that trans- forms men and women and encircles the brow of motherhood with a fade- less Aurora.” aera ST. MARK MM. E.

The Grand The first half week at the Grand wasn't quite up to the Grand standard, but they have had such a good run of headliners that the theater goer expects an off week once in a while. Turner and Grace were the first on the docket and were supposed to present a novelty in the juggling line, the art of juggling has reached such perfection that one has to be above the average to be recognized at all, and they were not above the average. Lawrence and Edwards presented a little skit entitled "The New Alder man," which brought out a bunch of laughs from every part of the house. It was a homely truth well presented. James J. Morrison and Company were the biggest thing on the bill and the clever character impersonations of Mr. Morrison deserve special mention; their playlet was entitled "The Verdict"; and the verdict of the house was that it was the best on the bill the bill closed with Killan and Moore, song and chatter artists, and Oliver Armando Troupe of tumblers. The Monogram The "Hottentot Girls," "Jimmie Dodd," "Shattuck Connick" and the Queen of State Street, Lucretia Knox, were on the bill this week at the Monogram. It is well that the management redeemed themselves after the jungle of stuff they presented the week before. We are firm believers in giving the colored artists a chance, but they must make good. And Lucretia Knox is a shining example of what can be done with talent if your heart is put into the work. It is a pleasure to hear her sing, and her selections are always appropriate. We understand the bills promised for the future will be on a higher standard than some bills presented in the past. Wilson'—Luckett Mr. Joseph M.

[Special to The Chicago Defender.] Washington, D. C. May 16.—Miss Anita Ramsey, who made such a favorable impression last week at Dudley's, is a sister of Miss Alice Ramsey, the agile dancer of the Black Patti Troubadours, and an artist of the greatest promise. Miss Lyllyn Brown, the versatile vocalist and impersonator, came home for a brief rest last week, but was called upon by the Chelsea management to play at the popular M street house and put in a most successful week. She was assisted by the rapidfire crayon artist, Prof. William Demont. Miss Brown had just completed a five weeks' tour on the southern round of the Dudley circuit. Miss Susie Sutton was warmly greeted by her old Washington friends last week at Dudley's. The magnetic Griffin Sisters, now at the Lafayette Theater, New York City, will play a return engagement here in July. Miss Jennie Taylor and her two classy "picks" are at the Fairyland this week. They "went big" during their two weeks at the Howard. Miss Taylor is a sister of Miss Nettie Taylor, of the Southern Smart Set, and comes of a highly musical family. All of them play three or four instruments effectively. Will A. Coke, playwright and composer, will be here at the close of Black Patti season. He will colorate with James Vaughn and T. Wencer Finley in the framing up of a new musical comedy, with melodramatic features. Salem Tutt Whitney's Southern Smart Set company will rehearse its new piece on the stage of the Howard in August. A number of new faces will be seen in the company for next season. Ed Tolliver of Tolliver & Chappelle is a member of the Lafayette Theater stock in New York City. Miss Goldie Chappelle is visiting relatives in Jacksonville, Fla. James Reese Europe and a select party of six musicians' came down from New York City last Monday to play for a reception given by one of Washington's multi-millionaires. They "delivered the goods." Misses Lottie Gee and Effie King are finishing up their circuit of the white playhouses in Pennsylvania, and will be "at home" in Washington shortly. These "Ginger Girls" have had the banner season of their career this year. Lawrence Williams, trap drummer with the Southern Smart Set, is one of the best in the business. He and Johnny Miller, Howard's "crack" manipulator of the drums, were very chummy during the recent visit of Mr. Williams. Mme. Hackley Recital. Mme. Hackley Recital. Mme. E. Azala Hackley, the eminent prima donna and musical demonstrator par excellence, captivated all Washington last Friday evening at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. She was in perfect voice and the numbers chosen by her for the occasion showed off her bird-like tones to fine advantage. Her brief but very clear recital of the story of her French and Italian songs added much to the enjoyment of her artistic interpretation of them. Mme. Hackley not only renders her musical score with skill and finesse, but she possesses dramatic power of the highest order and makes her audience feel with her the intensity of the passion or the exuberance of the joy she depicts. Her "lecturettes," with which her musical numbers are interspersed, are full of valuable suggestions to students of music and her hints on voice culture are full of information to the layman as well as the professional singer. Wit, humor, pathos and grotesque mimicry all have a place in Mme. Hackley's "demonstrations," and for over two hours she held the closest attention of one of the most brilliant and critical audiences that Washington has seen in many a day. Her reappearance here after a tour of the South was in the nature of a march of triumph, and many heard her this time who were denied that exquisite privilege last November. The accompaniment of Mr. R. Wilfred Tibbs was all that could be asked of that finished artist, and he followed with rare accuracy the temperamental rendition of Mme. Hackley's difficult aides, cadenzas and recitatives. HAVE A LAUGH WITH ME. By Waldo Baston. Bill Crowley must think some one wants to lean on his fence. Why? I see he's painting it. Bill Jones bet a fellow he could stop drinking. Did he stop? Yes. How. He committed suicide. How did you catch your cold? By wearing my shirt wrong side outward, I guess. Do you have any trouble making your son stay in college? No, he has a lot of trouble making me keep him there. Latest Thing in Detroit THE NEW YORK CAFE Strictly first-class.

The next meeting will be at Mrs. Calloway's, 7 West 50th street, on May 19 at 1 p. m. THE NEGRO'S STENCH IS WORSE THAN THAT OF THE JEW THAN THAT OF THE JEW. So says Bishop Henderson, a white American gentleman, who has been thirty-three years in Africa as a missionary and is now in attendance at "The World in Chicago." He had no more than said the words when two young white ladies and several gentlemen and a number of old white friends said in loud voices, "You are a liar," and ran over to the colored and told race members of the outrage, which for a time caused an unproar. Rev. Bradden started to tear down the colored exhibit, but the management made the bishop apologize. The Defender has only this to say, regard to the matter: If the Negro does outstink the Jews, the Southern white gentleman held his nose long enough to raise 5,000,000 mutatops in the South, and not longer ago than this week a Southern white gentleman shot a young colored man for walking down the street with his colored mistress. We hope the good bishop was not attracted by the stench of the Negro, as is his Southern brother. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Search for Buried Wealth on Cocos Island Futile. London Expedition Returns to Panama Without Any Finding Pirate's Hidden Chesta of Jewels and Bara of Gold. London—An expedition in search of buried treasure left this country last autumn in the steamship Melmore. The ship sailed on September 26, 1912, on the long voyage to Cocos island, 500 miles west of Panama. The vessel touched fire at Las Palmas to coal, and then took fire to Punta Arenas, the most southerly port in the world, from thence via the Straits of Magellan up the Pacific coast to Coronel in Chill to rebunker, and then on to Port Payau in Peru. There she was joined by the two ladies who have held treasure clews for a considerable time and on whose initiative the expedition was organized. The treasure hunters arrived at Cocos island on January 4, and the Melmore anchored in Wafer bay. They found it to be a very lovely spot with a perfect climate, a hot sun with a cool breeze, but so thickly overgrown with vegetation that walking was difficult except on the beach. The waters all around the island were infested with sharks, often six or more being caught in the evening after the day's explorations at Treasure cove were finished. The party established themselves in three galvanized houses where there was a small clearing at the mouth of the river in Wafer bay. Fish were plentiful and wild pigs abounded, so excellent sport was enjoyed as a relief to cutting away the side of the hill and clearing the face of the cliff at Treasure cove in search of the cave supposed to contain the pirate's hidden board, consisting of bars of gold and chests filled with precious stones. A further treasure of gold vessels is said to have been buried on Cocos island during the Civil war between Peru and Chili. The following extracts from letters written from the Melmore will indicate the course of events: "January 11, 1913—Today the ladies showed us what they thought was the spot where the treasure is concealed, but they could not be sure. What they showed us is a hole in the face of the cliff about fifty feet up, so we are going to dig, blast and break twenty-five feet of hill below this mark, to give it a trial. "January 12.—We started with all our men to cut away the side of the hill and clear the face of the cliff, and have moved about 100 tons of Part of Wooded Shore of Cocos Island. rock, soil, etc., down to 25 feet with no result. Having seen a copy of the clew we have started another place of our own, which seems more likely to be the place mentioned. "We found what we thought might turn out to be a cave beyond No. 2 working, but it proved to be only a waterworn cavern instead of leading into the cave we want to find, which is said to be a quarter of a mile long. As there was no other likely spot in Treasure cove we went to another place of which they have the clew. It is about a quarter of a mile beyond the cave in the opposite direction to Treasure cove up and had to push up a creep to reach the place. This attempt also proved foul." SOLD HIS BRAIN TO SCIENCE Troops Prevented Public From Seeing the Deaths of Three Slayers at the Gulillotine. Paris.—To get money to buy soup for the poor. Soudy, one of the three motor bandite, who died on the gullotine, bequeathed his brain to science. He left his skull to a museum. His autograph should be sold at auction, he directed, and the proceeds given to the cause of anarchy. In a dazzling rain, which made even more than usually dismal the dawn of a Paris blue Monday, Soudy, Cullenin and Monler were gullotined in exactly three minutes. The beheadings carried out prematurely to forestall a demonstration, occurred at 4:30 o'clock in the Boulevard Arago, outside the prison de la Sante. A cordon of police and soldiers entirely surrounded the gullotine and prevented the small mob that gathered from seeing the men die. The same lumbering two-wheeled cart brought the three men from the prison. Race for Last Bit of Steak Chicago.—Joseph Schneider and his father-in-law both reached as the same time for the last piece of steak at the supper table the other night. Jacob Jacobson, the father-in-law, "speaed" it first. But Schneider wasn't to be foiled that way. He hadn't lived in a boarding-house six years for nothing. With a dexterous "side swipe" he hooked the meat on his own fork. The older man, incensed, raised his pronged utensil high in the air and brought it down upon Schneider's hand. It pierced the flesh. When the police arrived Jacobson had fled. Was Tired of Life Braiddock, Pa.—Donning her best black silk dress and some old family jewelry, Mrs. Marie Kusars waited until her two sons had gone to bed and then committed suicide by hanging herself with a rope stretched from door to door in the dining room of her home. MAKING HIS FIRST DEPOSIT Farmer Adame Wanted to Make Sure That the Bank Was Sound and His Money Safe. They had opened a bank at Medina, the first one in the history of the town, and one day after it was in good running order Farmer Adams hitched his horse and wagon in front of the building, looked to see if the rook of butter and basket of eggs were safe and entered the building. He was well known to all of the officials and each had a word for him as he entered. He looked around him in wonder and then addressed himself to the president: "Wall, Steve Smith, you've gone and opened a bank, eh?" "Yes." "Git a reg'lar charter?" "O, yes." "Got things so that robbers can't git the money?" "Yes." "Wall, now, look-a-here, Steve, I've known you a long time, haven't it?" "You have, Mr. Adame." "Known you when your father run off and left the family as hard up as a spring coon with a broken leg?" "Yes." "Known you when you grew up and married Hanner Taylor?" "Yes." "How is Hanner and the young ones?" "Well, thank you." "That's proper, but what I was gain' to say was that I guess I'll put some money in your bank—not, a great deal, but just 'nuff fur a nest egg, like." "We shall be glad to number you with our patrons." "Yaas, but look-a-here, Steve, I don't want no foolin' about this blizziness. When I want my money I want to find right here." "Certainly." "And I want to find you here." "Of course." "And if you bust up the bank and run off with the cash, as some of 'em hev done, do you know what I'll do! I'll hitch up the old mare and foller you to the end of the ninth, and when I overhaul you I'll give you the all-fredest drubbing any man on this globe ever got." "You need have no fears, Mr. Adams." "Walt, you hear me, and now here is $4 to begin on. It's to sort o' try you, and if everything is all right I may put in $4 more when I sell that steer. That's all, unless you bust up and run away." Machine "Cane" Music instantly. A music roll perforating machine that stamps out any kind of music from ragtime to the most difficult classics, and upon which a person may play a piece of music offhand and take the record immediately to the automatic player for reproduction, is on exhibition in San Francisco. The machine, which cost nearly $3,000 to build, is attached to an ordinary piano by eighty rubber tubes, corresponding to the number of notes on the instrument. As the musician plays a piece of music the keys of the instrument cause slots to be cut in a roll of paper known as the "master record," which automatically unwinds from the machine as the playing continues. The slots are made instantly and the master record, which is ready for reproduction as soon as the player strikes the last key, may be passed through duplicating machinery which produces 100-forty record an hour. The operation of the machine is so simple that a great musician could sit down to the piano and compose a sonata, and when he had finished it a child could reproduce it exactly on an automatic player. Point Seemed to Be Le Joseph Cawthorn, the actor, buttonholed Alan Mudie in the wings and said: "Say, Mudie, here's a new story. A chap was digging in his garden, and after a while he turned to his friend and said: 'Bill, I'm all worn out.' "I see," said his friend, 'a new variety of earthen-ware, eh?'" Mudio thought it was a good joke, and later tried to tell it to Tom Lewis. "Cawthorn just told me a funny story," he said. "A man was working in his garden and said he was all worn out. His friend asked him if that wasn't a new kind of crockery-ware." Lewis looked at him suspiciously. "I don't call that a joke," he said. "I don't see any point to it." Mudie thought it over. "Blamed if I do, either," he said, "but I thought I did when Cawthorn told it." Family Point In Law Justice Ridgell of Canada had a case before him for the custody of a child in which he said: "Even without that explanation one does not have to be a wizard to understand how matters went on in that house. A couple with one child, a daughter; that one ewe lamb taken very young by an outsider, one and only one grandchild born in their house—what chance had the father, even if he wished to do so, to take any part in the rearing of that baby? Does any grandmother imagine that her son-in-law, or indeed, even her own daughter, knows anything about "ringing up a child? Is the man who snatched from them their only child also to get possession of their only grandchild?" Migratory Birds. Measures for the international protection of migratory birds logically follow the passing of a federal law for the protection of birds passing between the states, and the purpose of the resolution introduced in the senate by Mr. McLean of Connecticut is commendable. The fact that more than a dozen foreign countries would have to be negotiated with in carrying it out is an interesting reminder of our neighborly relationships, notwithstanding our isolated position. It must be admitted also that it makes the present feasibility of the plan somewhat doubtful.—Springfield (Mass) Republican, City of Evanston Evanston, Ill., May 16. Rev. E. H. Fletcher of Mt. Zion Baptist Church had a great time Sunday. At the morning service the young C. M. E. minister, Prentiss Bryson, spoke to a well-filled church. The pastor, Rev. Fletcher, preached the annual sermon to the Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth, who attended the services in large numbers. P. W. F. Blount lifted the collection, which was liberal.

Johnson on Prairie avenue Thursday evening. Miss Lydia Davis was hostess to the Church Aid Tuesday night. A beautiful drama was rendered by four little girls. The Sewing Circle met with Mrs. Julia Wilson on Church street. The mothers' meeting was addressed by Mrs. Willis Brown and Mrs. Lolo Downs. Rev. Graves sends word that he is still improving and hopes to be himself again. The mock conference to be held May 21 bids fair to be a great success. Bishop Spencer and Presiding Elders Daniels, Graves, Harris, Hadley and Benton are all trying to get the Chicago district. Elder Scruggs expects to be sent to Quinn Chapel and Elder Bailey to Ebenzer, Evanston. NEW HOPE C. M. E. CHURCH. Services Sundays. 3 p. m., 8 p. m. Sunday school, 1:30 p. m. The services Sunday were well up to standard, both in attendance and finance. The pastor filled the pulpit at the first service. Sunday is the "Big Rally Day." Every department and auxiliary of the church is taxed to the utmost capacity to make Sunday a historic day at Woman's Watch. The reason a woman is a woman is because if her watch has a beautiful monogram engraved on the back she keeps time or not. Galveston, News. Different.

It is first a celebration of the organization, the church being one year old to date. Everman, woman and child is called up to visit one service during the d and contribute something to t cause, which stands alone for the bterment of humanity and the furtherance of Christ's Kingdom. An excellent program has been arranged for the day. The church has been successful in securing Bishop Isaac Lane, D. D., LL, D., of Jackson, Tenn., of the Second Episcopal district of the C. M. E.

EVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS IN CONFERENCE. Large Chicago Delegation Leaves for Washington, D. C., Tuesday in a Special Train. By Elder W. D. Forde. Seventh Day Adventists from various points throughout Illinois and also from several western states will leave Chicago on a special train over the B. & O. railroad on May 13 to attend the world's conference of their denomination, which will be held in Washington, D. C., May 15 to June 8. One car will be filled with delegates and believers who will attend from California. The train will be enlarged at Milford Junction to accommodate those going to the conference from west and south Michigan and parts of Indiana. Two cars from Minneapolis, two from Lincoln, Nebr., two from Iowa, and others from other points making eleven cars in all. The world's conference of the denomination is held every four years and delegates from all the continents in the world will be present. Quite a number of the members of the North Illinois Conference, which is a part of the Lake Union Conference, will go to Washington on the special. The delegates who have been elected from northern Illinois are President G. E. Langdon, H. E. Moon, Dr. F. J. Ots and Prof. G. E. Nord. Among the leaders that are also planning to go on this train are C. M. Christiansen, of Walla Walla College; H. W. Cottrell, President of the West Oregon Conference; O. A. Olsen, Secretary of the North American Foreign Department; J. I. Irwin, President of the North Michigan Conference, and S. Mortsen, Secretary of the Swedish Department. These persons will be among delegates that will represent every one of the 25 Union Conferences in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia and Africa, and the mission stations in Africa and Asia. While the delegates will number between 300 and 500, the number of persons to attend will swell to about 4,000, as believers from all parts of North America will flock to the scene to listen to the important questions concerning the whole denomination that will come up for consideration, and the explanation of Bible themes by leading ministers of the faith. There are 35 churches in the Northern Illinois Conference and the adherents in Chicago will await with interest the return of President Langdon and the other believers who reside in northern Illinois to learn of the things accomplished during the session. Among those who have planned to attend the meeting from Chicago are: Pastors K. C. Russell, M. N. Serns, W. D. Forde, B. B. Broderson, M. J. Erickson, Drs. D. H. Kress, W. H. Wollram, Miss Edith Shepard, Mrs. Hannah Swanson, J. E. Woodward, J. M. Cummings, Clara Resic, Mrs. G. E. Langdon and others. Every state in the Union will be represented by delegates; in fact, every country on the globe. All the leading ministers in the United States and Canada will be among those in attendance. The leaders of the denomination in Europe and Australia, as well as those of the mission stations in Africa, Asia and the islands of the sea will also come. Black-skinned and yellow-skinned men and women, who have been reclaimed to Christ from heathenism, are expected to lend importance to the power of the gospel by their presence. In fact, the gathering will be made up of a commingling of races such as probably has never been seen in the past in a meeting of this sort. Over 500 tents will be pitched for the housing of the people during their stay at the session, and large canvas pavilions will be pitched for the holding of the meetings. It is expected that at least thirty meetings a day will be held, counting all departments. Not only will problems affecting the entire denomination be considered, but the leaders of the different departments, comprising the whole, will hold separate meetings. Educators from the leading academies and colleges controlled by the denomination in this and other countries will hold daily conventions, as will the advocates of religious liberty, the bookmen, and the leaders of the young people's societies throughout the denomination. It will be business from early morning until night every day of the session. A big problem will be that of planning to increase the missionary forces in all parts of the world. With the leaders of these fields present, the needs of each will be laid before the delegates and not only will recruits be furnished, but large sums of money appropriated for the spreading of Seventh Day Adventist doctrines. Another large question that will come up for consideration will be that of dividing the earth into six divisions in order to work out the problems that the denomination has taken upon itself on more systematic lines. MEDICS DO ST. LOUIS. Trio of, Well-known Physicians-To-Be From "The Windy City" Tell of Pleasant Trip. By Pedro Sanatos. We arrived at St. Louis, Mo., on Wednesday morning, and while there we were invited to see what our friends and former school mates are doing in the somber metropolis of the great show me state. At the arrival of the will-be doctors, C. J. Teffner, E. D. Weaver and your humble servant, Pedro Sanatos, we were requested to proceed to Provident Hospital, where our good, progressive and successful friend, Dr. C. A. Hancock, was performing a very important and dangerous major operation in direct association with our congenial and rising surgeon friend, Dr. Cheatham. When we arrived at the hospital we were very cordially received by the head nurse, who, with very pleasing smiles, very becoming attired us in sterilized gowns. We were then ushered into the operating room, where we found also one of our friends who is succeeding there very placidly administering the anaesthetic, this is the urban and affable Dr. R. C. Haskell. Provident Hospital of St. Louis, we must say, is a nice place, well kept, and has a strong and very competent medical and surgical staff. Dr. Hancock carried us to see our friend, Dr. J. T. Breedlove, who is doing well and is prosperous. Dr. C. H. Phillips, Jr., also we visited and found him just returning from the coroner's office, where he had been kept busy in some post-mortem procedures. In fact, we were informed that every Meharry man is doing well and building an enviable, lasting reputation, not only for themselves, but for their Alma Mater as well. They are doing things "mirabile visu." Dr. Hancock's office is a beauty. It is well equipped and very nicely kept. The doctor has gained a good number of pounds of tissue of the adipose variety. He looks very well indeed. His lucrative practice must be the main etiological factor. He is the same jovial and gentle fellow of yore. Here I believe would be a good place to state that of the twenty or twenty-two doctors of our race in St. Louis ten of them are Meharry men, and all are thriving in the most severe crises. It speaks well and induces one to augur great achievements in the gladsome and inspiring future for the men of Meharry. We left St. Louis, Wednesday, 9 o'clock p. m., and arrived at the Windy City on Thursday morning safely but tired, and here we will rest till next September. RIVERSIDE AND LA GRANGE La Grange, Ill. May 16.—At the Second Baptist Church, Rev. Green's sermon to the Needy Club was long to be remembered. The divine did not mince words, and plainly showed to all present the absolute necessity of being honest in soliciting money for church work. It is hoped that each and every one may have learned a lesson from the words so well given. The Building Fund Club held its regular monthly meeting Friday night in Riverside at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Gainen. Quite a number was present. The captains made their report of what they have been doing. The president, Mr. Gainen, reported $34.35; Captain No. 1, Mrs. Emma Green; $21; Captain No. 2, Miss Ada Hemmens; $14. Captain No. 3 did not make a report, as he was absent on that evening. The president also made none. At her recent visit to a woman's club in the city she received an invitation to be present at one of their meetings at which time they expressed their willingness to help at any time. Rev. Green also in his address to the club said that before the next meeting the president with the members will be able to take up the other note and pay off the remaining bill.

WE SHOULD STRIVE TO BE INDEPENDENT AND HELP OURSELVES (Written for The Chicago Defender by Daisy McClain.) About fifty years ago we, the Negro race, through the grace of our Creator were unincorporated from slavery. We were born in the laws and customs of our white brother. As a younger brother we were helped by his classmates who helders gave their emancipated Negroes the schools and other institutions of learning were opened to the colored children, and the schools were raised. At the present time the black man can do anything that the white man can We have been "boosted" along until we have come to a smooth road. We now need very little assistance. We have a fairly average Negro has a fairly good education, and some have money. Let them have their own education. Let them have their own institutions. We have helped them thus far. They need our help. That is one reason we are barred from many such places. The other is more difficult. We have not. This race has been cursed by North, and that the sins of the father has visit- Now, since we have advanced to higher civilization, we should endeavor to bolt our feet into the earth, the world that we can do what other races are doing. We are not independent; neither do we plan ourselves. We wait until nationalities lead, then we follow, or, commonly speaking, we "copy" too much. Rather than spend our money foolishly, and work against each other, or covet our fellow man, we should join together, more institutions, build more hotels, etc. Lastly, rather than complain of the lack of opportunities, we keep closed lips and endure it a longer. God has not forsaken us. He is only waiting for us to do more for our country, and we will shine upon us and we will be blessed. Patriarchy Makes Merry.

Bishop Mattie L. Thornton of the Holy Nazarene Tabernacle Church won a notable victory in her fight which has occupied the attention of the Superior James for more than a month just past when the Master in Chancery, Honorable James L. Thornton, asked the church to testify testimony concerning her right to act as bishop of said church, and to report his conclusions of the law in the case to the court, made out his report and found that he was guilty of a misdemeanor. Her attorney, W. G. Anderson, has fought the case, brought by an opposing faction of the church and headed by her husband, James 1. Thornton, and his wife, Katherine, who is the corporation alleging that the church was not legally corporated, her opponents won off their feet and on the question of the sufficiency and legality of this plea Mr. Anderson won the case for the bishop. The case was adjudged to Judge Kavanagh for consideration and if he confirms the report the case against the bishop is ended. During the various hearings there were at times some fifty witnesses, all members of the church, who made up the body of Bishop Thornton, the founder of the church, all of whom love and respect her. Thornton was to be restored as bishop of the church at an early date, possibly next Sunday. 3-flat, stone-front, furnace-heat, (new furnace) 7-8-8 rooms, bath, gas, toilet, hardwood trim, newly decorated, rents for $90 per month; near car line and L.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS AMERICAN GIANTS 9; ROSELAND ECLIPSE 3. On the Home Grounds the American Giants Made Monkeys Out of the Visiting Roseland Team. The chilly day kept the crowd down, many taking to the bleachers. Dougherty was on the mound for the Giants and kept the hits well scattered, striking out twelve of the men the crowd down many taking to the bleachers. Dougherty was on the mound for the Giants and kept the hits well scattered, striking out twelve of the men F. A. Young. who faced him. Erbele started for the visitors but the welcome the Giants gave him wasn't very warm and he retired in the second in favor of Henry Penn, formerly of the University of Illinois, who did as well as he expected against such a team Giants. In the visitors half first Dougherty got in a hole. He had three and one but he himself together and slipped trikes over on the batter. Tay- and Pierce took care of the next We started right off the reel, Dun- was hit by a pitched ball, Hill a Texas leaguer and Barber tried sacrifice but Erbele fumled and a sacks were loaded with the crowd trying for a run. Taylor hit a hot one to Kaad, who couldn't handle it, and Duncan and Hill romped across the pan. Munroe hit a terrific liner and Barber scored, Taylor going to third on the throw in. Munroe and Taylor undertook to pull off a double steal and the visitors seemed to be aware of it but the shortstop threw the ball away and it took so long for the catcher to get it that both Munroe and Taylor walked in. Petway, singled but was out trying to stretch it. Hutchinson and Dougherty were easy outs. Nothing doing in the visitors' second but the Giants started again. Pierce walked, took second when Duncan was hit again, stole third while Duncan helped himself to second. Hill's fly scored Pierce, then Barber filed out and Duncan was out trying to score after the catch. Erbele gave way to Penn. 20. 40 Dougherty was in bad in the third when Pierce let Fanter's fly get away. Munroe and Pierce took care of the xt two; Kad walked, but the star virler was there with the goods, trilling out Evans. Nothing stirring till the fourth. Pierce hit to the fence for two bases, Duncan hit to the scoreboard scoring Pierce, Hill sacrificed, Barber singled scoring Duncan, Duncan stole second but Taylor and Munroe were easy outs. The visitors got a gleam of hope in the fifth when errors by Dougherty and Pierce put three men on the sacks wrist. None but again Dougherty was invisible to the moment when he struck out Black. Dougherty got a single hit. The rest did nothing. In the sixth with only one down and on the back. Duncan A bag Doughey struck out Seldon and Fanter while the crowd roared. In the next three innings the visitors managed to get three runs across through some timely hitting. In the eighth Pierce filed out, Duncan singled, Hill hit a three-bagger, scoring Duncan, Barber and Taylor went out on infield hits. In the muth with one gone Hill pulled off the sensation by going back on a run and taking a line drive which was a sure homer as it came over his head turning around whipped the sphere to Petway who got his man coming in from third for the last out then the "throng went home." Sunday the Giants hook up with the fast East Chicago nine with the great Young in the box for the Hoosiers. Young has five victories to his credit, all shut-outs, except the game against the Union Giants, who scored three runs on him. A tight game is expected and a good crowd should be out. Sprudels Defeat Strong White Team. Indianapolis, Ind.—Although the Indianapolis Reserves, one of the strongest semi-pro white teams in this section of the country, made desperate efforts to overcome the lead taken over them last Sunday at Washington Park by the scrappy Sprudels from West Baden, there was nothing stirring when the curtain was finally rung down and the race team was the winner. The contest was weird full of unusual stunts on both it was a "runfest."

As a result he was chalked up with some very rotten stunts. The game was resplendent with brilliant plays on both sides and but for two costly wobbles at second the teams might have been battling until dark for supremacy in the contest. The victory over the home boys was denuded of half of its splendor by the absence of Elmer Harren, one of the oldest and most popular players on the team. When Elmer was not seen out in uniform it was soon noised about that he had been tossed in the discard. The passing of Harren from the ranks of local ball players is an epoch in the game here in Indianapolis and the wisdom of the deal is questioned on all sides as Elmer has perhaps the greatest Individual following of any player who ever graced an Indianapolis uniform and it is predicted that the management will sustain a pecuniary loss in gate receipts by the transaction. After the game the local team was hustled off to the train for French Lick, where they were scheduled to meet the Plutos in a three grame series. The score; r. h. e. A. B.

The Louisville Cubs jumped from here to Nashville, Tenn., where they played a series of three games with the Nashville team, commencing last Monday. Some hike for semi-players. There must be an ample bank roll behind the team in the background somewhere. Ed Lancaster is still the popular leader of the Cubs. The A. B. C.'s played the Plutos Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The Miller Giants, said to be one of the strongest teams in Terre Haute, are scheduled to appear at Northwestern Park tomorrow against the A. B. C.'s. "Quack" Davis made his bow before the local fans in last Sunday's game after an absence of more than two years. Francis put up a corking good game at short for the visitors and showed a marked improvement in his work with the stick. That's the way; just as soon as we let 'em go they make good with a vim. Grace Loses to Bethlehem Chapel, 15:10. Grace opened its season by losing to the fast Bethlehem nine at Washington Park Saturday. The champions of the Cook County Presbyterian League did not play in their usual form, their defeat being the result, Washington started but the white boys got to him and Capt. Baker finished. The game was interesting, despite the score. The Grace team started off in the rear but soon overcame the lead, only to lose the game through some weird fielding. Moley did the bulk of the catching, while many of the old faces were seen in the line-up. Renfree, Washington and Williams took care of the garden. Peacher held down the initial sack while Herbie Lewis, Reeves and Thomason looked after the infield. With a little more practice and some more team work the champions will be the same old tough proposition they have always been. Quinn will probably play independent ball as the Cook county officials tried to pull off some stuff that their manager would not stand fr. What has happened to the Hope and Berean nines this season?

The minute we can prove to the white men in the community where we live that education makes us more law abiding, more industrious, more saving, and less idle, that minute will millions of dollars be poured out in every part of the South for Negro education. Our education, then, is largely in our own hands." Climax of the Trin. Some five thousand white and colored people assembled at the Gloucester Court House square to hear Dr. Washington. Judge Jones, who was holding court in Gloucester, suspended the court session and came to the Washington meeting. The white high school closed its doors so that teachers and pupils might hear the well known principal of Tuskegee. At Gloucester, as in all other places where public meetings were held, the white people occupied special seats which had been reserved for them by their colored neighbors. Major James E. Stubbs, one of the wealthiest and distinguished white lawyers in Tidewater Virginia, as well as Senator John R. Saunders, introduced Dr. Washington. "In Gloucester County you have no race problem. Here it has been solved. In Gloucester each race in social matters is separate. In the fundamental things of life white men and black men are one. Here you have from fifty to sixty graduates and former students of Hampton Institute at work. In no other county have I seen the teachings of Hampton so completely exemplified. This is a model county. The jail is empty. The farms are full. The people are well dressed, happy and well sing. There is less race prejudice than Gloucester County than almost anywhere else the South. Indeed, there is far less than in Boston or New York City. This perplexing race problem will be solved eventually in justice to white people and black people." Members of Party.

Last Sunday was "Mothers' Day" and there was a general celebration of it throughout the country. This day of sweet commemoration, as is generally known, was instituted by Miss Jarvis. There was a concerted move on the part of the churches to celebrate the day in a befitting manner, so the subject of the evils of divorce and the sanctity of the home was preached from every pulit. At the morning service Rev. C. Lee Jefferson of Hope Presbyterian Church preached a splendid, practical sermon on the "Evils of the Divorce and the Sanctity of the Home." He recited statistical figures to show the enormity of this evil in various countries and especially in the United States, showing that one out of every nine families was divorced. The causes for divorce are almost innumerable; the causes lay down certain statutory causes (e.g. divorce or less, running as high as thirty-two punishments. As glaring as this appears it does not touch the multitude of hidden causes that never see the light of day, so far as the court records and statutes are concerned. There is an ancient saying that "A man's home is his castle." It is even more than that; it is his worldly heaven, if it is well-ordered and comfortable. There is no place so happy and blissful as a home with the prattle and patter of the little ones and the kind, sympathetic voice of an agreeable and affectionate wife. The afternoon exercises were "Mothers' Day." the program was excellent. Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, appropriately styled "Queen of the Race," made the address, and it was truly eloquent. Mrs. Barnett is a master of rhetoric and she speaks with admirable ease and exquisite grace. St. John A. M. E. Church is making a strenuous effort to raise a thousand dollars to be paid on its indebtedness; the church is giving a series of concerts and entertainments. They gave a musical concert Monday evening which might well be considered a feast to the gods of music. There were beautiful solos and readings. The most beautiful were selections from the productions of members of the race—De Koven Thompson and Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Mrs. Fannie Hall THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Clint was there. Of course that is all necessary to say to the people of Chicago about Fannie, the "Princess" of locutionists. She rendered "Ingomar" and several other select readings from Scott, to the delight of her audience. By G. J. Eva Brown, youngest daughter of Mrs. Brown, 6034 Throop street, died Wednesday morning after several months' illness. Mrs. Conley, mother of Mrs. A. J. Hall of 6202 Aberdeen street, is very ill.

Sunday was family day at Shiloh Baptist Church, a day that will always be remembered by all present. At 11 o'clock the church was overcrowded. Special music was rendered by the choir and the solo that was sung by Mrs. Dorsey was grand and the duet rendered by Mrs. Beatly and Mrs. Peterson left tears in most everybody's eyes and the quartet composed of Mrs. M. Bluette and Miss M. Moore and Mr. B. and H. Mosely was grand. In the evening the choir had special music. The soles were by Mrs. G. Pace and Mrs. N. Stafford.

Even among fishes it is said the more cunning species are those that have large eyes, and upon investigation it was found that the fish with large eyes had larger brains than those with small eyes. ARE YOU IN THE WAY? Sometimes people crave your absence when your presence is spoken of as being gratifying.-Waldo Baston. Commodore Salisbury Tells of an Expedition to Laysan. Retired Naval Officer With Party of Scientists Spent Eighty Days Gathering Data on a Mid-Pacific Island. Kansas City, Mo.—Straight from the exploration of an uninhabited isle in the Pacific ocean Commodore George R. Sallisbury, has served at the home of his brother, Mark Sallisbury, two and one-half miles northeast of Independence. The contrast is great between life in this old mansion hidden among gigantic phles in a quiet Jackson county farm and life on the island of Layan, where no man lives, and where myriads of water fowl darken the air or hide in the low-lying sandy slopes, barely rising above the ocean level. Commodore Salisbury was busy writing out a report of his voyage to the government, but not too busy to tell a representative of the Kansas City Star of some of the strange sights on the island. He was in charge of an expedition sent out by the department of agriculture, which has charge of the bird reservation of United States territory. With him were three naturalists. The party left San Francisco December 5, 1912, in the United States revenue cutter Thetis. Their destination was the island of Laysan, eight hundred miles northwest of Honolulu. Laysan is peculiarly rich in bird life. Eighty days were spent there. They returned to Honolulu March 22, and a few days later took passage on the United States transport Sherman for San Francisco. They reached that city April 11. There specimens taken on the voyage were shipped to Washington. After a few days spent in the coast city, Commodore Salisbury started back to Independence, arriving there last Sunday. A map of the Island of Laysan made during their stay shows it to be of peculiar formation. It is about two and one-half miles long and one mile wide. In the center, occupying about one Bird Island of Laysan hundred and sixty acres is a lagoon. This gives the island the appearance of an elongated doughnut. At no place does the island rise more than twenty-five feet above ocean level. The place swarms with birds. I learned more about birds on this trip than I had ever dreamed of before, before our tour said yesterday afterward. We brought 175 rare specimens. These will be mounted and placed in the government museums. "We found two varieties that are found nowhere else. One is the Laysan rail. It is about the size of a quail and has small wings, but they do it little good, for it cannot fly. We started home with eighty living specimens of the rail, but the return trip was so cold that all except five died. The survivors were left at the Golden Gate park in San Francisco. The other is the Laysan teal, a fowl smaller than the mallard duck, but resembling it in general appearance. Incidentally, we found a pair of mallard ducks that had come over from the mainland of California, thousands of miles away." LAST RELICS OF THE MAINE Six Thousand Pounds of Brass and Bronze Fittings Stripped From Vessel Cast in Tablets. New York.-Six thousand pounds of relics from the U. S. S. Maine, which were taken from the battleship before she was towed out to sea from Havana and given her final resting place, have arrived at the John Williams bronze foundry, to be cast into a fitting and permanent memorial. This disposition of the brass and bronze fittings of the battleship which for twelve years had lain beneath the sea is in accordance with an act of congress. The parts of the wreck that were thought to be suitable for the purpose were first sent to Washington, when they were melted together, purified and cast into thirty-pound ingots. It is in this form that all that is left of the Maine has just arrived in New York. One thousand tablets, designed by Charles Keck of this city, are being cast by the Williams foundry, and will be delivered upon request to patriotic societies all over the country. Two hundred applications have already been received at the office of the assistant secretary of the navy. The tablets will have a natural bronze finish; they will weigh twelve and half pounds and measure 13 by 18 inches. Nabe Purplam With Renell Nabe Burglar with Pencil.

Wedland had a loaded revolver at the time. Many Different Shapes To Fit Corners and Nooks In Every Kitchen Ranges for big kitchens—little kitchens and kitchenettes. Ranges for nooks of any size.

Avendorph There is every evidence of a reform hawke over that section of the city labeled the "White Way," which takes in that territory between 29th and 35th streets on State street. I can only speak, however, from what I observed last Tuesday night a week ago and this past Tuesday afternoon. On Tuesday night, we week ago a party of gentlemen made a visit through the white way, stopping at the various places of amusement as a matter of sight-seeking, and to our surprise we found a limited amount insufficient to interest the party. One of the party remarked that the relation wave evidently had struck this section of the city; not meaning, however, by word reform that the moral conditions had improved, as there was no thought of finding an immoral condition, but on the contrary the attendance had fallen off so noticeably. We concluded that if one wanted to spend an evening among congenial good-fellows the Pompain was the place to go. There is something attractive about the Pompain, whether it is because it has just opened up under the present proprietors or not, remains to be seen, and time will surely tell. At any rate, there is a distinctiveness about the way one is received on entering the place that makes one feel at least that the presence is desired. The manager, Mr. Joseph Shecraft, is noted for his speciality, therefore at his hands and special interest in the most important aspects of this association to please, therefore the combination ought to make a success. One of the latest attractions is the cabaret; I had seen it advertised in the leading loop district cafes, so in order to be up on what it really was I concluded to stop in on last Tuesday afternoon to spend awhile with a friend and I was unexpectedly pleased with the entertainment. To say it was classical mildly expresses it; Mr. Dave Payton's full orchestra was present and their selections would have pleased a grand opera audience. The order, the surroundings, and in fact every department was beyond reproach. A singer here and a singer there with the accompaniment of an orchestra with the instruments, hearts, souls and voices all in one accord, which added to the grandeur of the occasion. If that style of entertainment pleases you, pay these gentlemen a visit and I am sure you will go again. His Luck. "Do you know, young man," began the clergyman, "that when you retire at night you may be called before morning dawns?" "Yes," replied the young man dreamily, with recollections of a poker game of the night before, "and it would just be my luck to have a poor hand." Defining a Dentist.
