Havre, France, July 10—Mr. John Arthur Johnson, champion heavyweight of the world, his wife and their suite arrived here today. The champion is well and declares that he is fit to meet any fighter who has the proper kind of purse. He does not intend to remain in Paris and he never said that he intended to remain here, as was reported throughout the world, but he will return to Chicago early in October to stand trial in the Federal Court for an alleged violation of the Mann act. Back In Time for Trial. "I will return to Chicago in time for my trial," said the champion to your correspondent. "I have done no wrong, the whole world is with me and I am over here to make some money. No, I have had no trouble coming over. The sea was calm and life was all serene. We return in time for my trial. I have nor never had any idea of running away. My attorneys have been fully advised, and the talk about increased bonds is all The Chicago Defender. Local Press Has Brain Storm. The local newspapers published stories like the following: "As regards Johnson's bonds," said Mr. Parkin, "we can do nothing until October. Judge Carpenter has ruled that we cannot forfeit the bond until Johnson fails to appear at the time set for his case to come up. There are two bonds, one of $15,000, signed by Matthew Baldwin, which will be forfeited if the Court of Appeals decides that Johnson's conviction was proper and he fails to appear to serve his sentence. The other bond is his personal bond for $30,000, for CHAMPION JACK JOHNSON which no property was scheduled at all. This will be forfeited if Johnson fails to appear Oct. 13 to stand trial on other white slave charges still pending. GUESS WHO? If you want to earn $5 read The Guess Who Ad on page 8.

VIRGINIA CLUB WOMEN HOLD SUCCESSFUL MEETING Special to The Chicago Defender. Portsmouth, Va., July 11.—The sixth annual convention of Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, held in the Zion Baptist Church June 25 to 27, was one of the most interesting and profitable series of meetings of women ever conducted in Virginia. Earnest, thoughtful women from all sections of Virginia constituted a harmonious convention. Prominent women representing all phases of social uplift work in over seventy-five federated clubs, having more than two thousand members, were present. The entire program, as arranged by Mrs. Ida Nugent Paey, chairman of the program committee, was carried out. The meetings were ably conducted by the president, Mrs. Harris Barrett of Hampton, who has so successfully conducted the federation from the time of its organization at Hampton Institute, and Mrs. Ora B. Stokes of Richmond, the vice president at large, who is one of the leading church workers of her city and state. All of the papers were interesting and were well discussed by the ladies. Mrs. M. E. Franco of Portsmouth read a beautiful welcome address, to which Miss Lucy Addison of Roanoke responded. A symposium on community club work and its possibilities included "Morality in the Home," Mrs. Stokes of Richmond; "Religion in the Home," Mrs. A. V. Clark of Newport News; "Sanitation in the Home," by Mrs. Lawrence of Norfolk. The papers were highly instructive, pointing out evils and suggesting remedies. CHICAGO'S SANE FOURTH OF JULY The Windy City made good on the Fourth of July. The ban on dangerous fireworks was carried out to the letter, and the list of casualties was reduced to the minimum. Old residents marveled at the change, and talked about the quiet, while the youngsters, both male and female, declared that they would be careful in selecting the city officials when they had a right to vote. The city was gaily decorated. Many families spent the day out of town, but the noise of the giant firecracker and the illumination of the skyrocket at night passed into everlasting oblivion. But the ice cream man was happy, as the day was ideal, and altogether, said an old veteran, "why should we worry?" WHITE SUFFRAGISTS PRAISE MAJOR R. R. JACKSON WHITE SUFFRAGISTS PRAISE MAJOR R. R.

SEND HIM CONGRATU- LATORY LETTERS Say He Has Helped the Race—The Letter from Fairfax, Ala.—A New Awakening. Honorable Robert R. Jackson, Springfield, Ill. Dear Sirt—Please accept the deepest appreciation of the Illinois Equal Suffrage Association, who represent the women and men of the state who believe in suffrage, for the stand which you made for the people whom you represent when you spoke for the limited suffrage bill and voted aye for the measure. Respectfully yours. HORACE BENNETT JETERSON HORACE BENNETT PETERSON, State Corresponding Secretary, Illinois Equal Suffrage Association. Dear Sir:—I have just been reading the Woman's Journal's account of the passage of the bill giving the right of suffrage to the women of Illinois. Especial mention was made of your support of the bill. Permit me, from this southern state where an insane prejudice exists among the whites against both Negro and woman suffrage, to send you greetings and heartfelt approval of your course. It is an amusing though deplorably illogical coincident that by many here the ballot for the Negro is condemned because he is thought to be too inferior to deserve the right of political expression, while by the same judges the women are considered too superior and sacred to be allowed to become contaminated by the exercise of political functions. Let me congratulate you upon the fact that this vote of yours demonstrates that there is at least one man of your color and race whose devotion to justice not only shows him to be deserving of the right to represent his race, but of whom the liberty-loving and justice-respecting whites may well be proud as a political associate. Permit me with great respect to subscribe myself, Yours truly, J. BELLANZEE SPLIT SKIRTS ARE VULGAR SAYS MISS SNOW. By Iva Snow. The new fashions in women's skirts has been carried so far with some of our women that it is fast becoming disgusting. "The Great White Way" is thronged with young women with slits in their skirts from six inches to the full length of the knee. And now some have become so brazen as to not wear any underskirts at all, and when they walk the lace on their undergarment can plainly be seen. Not only is this going on among the out and out "goodtimers," but others, either from carelessness or other reasons, will go out in the broad daylight with a filmsy white skirt and other colors, too, with no underskirt on at all or one that is nearly transparent. When they cross the street and the sun hits them, one can see nearly everything they have on. Many young girls and married women are included in this last statement. Women have been seen with their husbands, who fail to notice it themselves. It is the most disgusting sight to see our girls out at the park sitting in the most unladylike positions, and young men beeping at the "sights" and the split skirt is the fault. It seems as though mothers or friends would tell them how to dress.

PONEY MOORE CUTS WIFE WITH RAZOR Former Business Man Injures His Wife While Mentally Deranged—To Be Returned to Kankakee. On Monday afternoon the citizens in the neighborhood of Thirty-first and Dearborn streets were all up in arms and greatly excited on account of the trouble between Mr. Pony Moore and his wife. All kinds of rumors were rife—some that Pony had cut his wife's throat and that she was dead. The excitement brought the patrol wagon from the Stanton avenue police station, when, upon investigation, it was found that Mrs. Moore was not dead, but had received a cut on the side of her face such as would possibly disfigure her for life. The police arrested Pony and placed him in jail to await developments of the cut. Mrs. Moore was taken to Provident Hospital, where her wounds were dressed and claimed to be not fatal. She was then taken from there to Wesley Hospital, where she now remains, and from the best authority at this writing she will recover, but very much disfigured, from the slash of the knife. It is said that jealousy prompted Pony to commit the deed, as it has been known that they were not getting along well together. Moore is now locked up and the general opinion is that he will be returned to Kankakee. PROF. MOORE SPEAKS AT CHRISTIANS- BURG INSTITUTE Special to The Chicago Defender. (Christiansburg Institute Press Service.) Christiansburg, Va., July 11.—The Christiansburg Normal opened July 1 with an enrollment of seventy-eight student teachers. The Normal began operation under the most favorable circumstances. Dr. I. Garland Penn, secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society, and Mrs. Penn were present on the second of July. Dr. Penn delivered an address. On the third and fourth of July Dr. L. B. Moore, dean of Teachers' College, Howard University, delivered a series of four lectures of especial interest to teachers.

In December, 1910, I sent missionaries THE WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN WORKS nated on Tuesday last in what was purported to have been a signal victory for that fact of the church which is represented by Bishop M. L. Branch. The decision was rendered by Judge Jett, one of the country judges now sitting in the Superior court. The court dissolved the injunction restraining Mrs. M. L. Branch from exercising her rights as bishop and from carrying on other necessary functions of her office. In an interview with one of her attorneys, W. G. Anderson, it was stated that the decision of the court meant in effect the immediate return of Mrs. Branch to her charge as the legal and official head of the church. The case was long and bitterly fought by both sides, and its final termination favorable to the founder of the church is evidence of the remarkable legal ability exerted by her attorney, to whom much credit is due for his untiring and unceasing efforts in this cause. Attorney L. A. Newby rendered some valuable assistance to Mr. Anderson in the handling of this case. In speaking to the bishop she had this to say: to Corydon, Ind., where a church was established, and purchased a site there as a branch of the Holy Nazarene Tabernacle. August, 1911, I again opened camp meetings at Morgan Park, and continued them during the summer of July and August, 1912, at Milwaukee, Wis., and Evanston, Ill. The church was doing well and progressing nicely, both spiritually and financially, notwithstanding the fact there were some serpents in our n.

"Since my restoration back to the church by the court I enlarged my scope of work, and will erect a new edifice upon the same site soon, to cost $40,000. I am much pleased with the way my case was handled by my lawyer." "I am the founder of the Holy Nazarene Church, which was first located in a tent, July 23, 1908, at Twenty-sixth street and Wabash avenue. After some weeks there we moved to Twenty-sixth and La Salle, where many souls were brought into the church. This work was supported by free-will offerings with much success—so much so that on May 1, 1909, I purchased the church above mentioned, and on September 5, 1909, I was made bishop. Through my earnest and zealous work, supported by zeal, I was given the control of all business pertaining to the church, without a board to assist me, and gave my service without salary.

Thornton, to dismiss said Bill of complaint of the complainant herein on the plea of said defendant, Mattie L. Thornton of New Tiel Corporation; and the Court having heard the argument of counsel for said complainant on the exceptions to said Master's report and the argument of counsel for said defendant in support of the findings in said report of said Master, and now being fully advised in the premises, doth sustain said report of said Master in Chancery. It is therefore ordered, adjudged and decreed by the Court that said report is hereby sustained, and the defendant, Mattie L. Thornton, is hereby restored to all rights which she had prior to the issuing of the injunction herein. STATE THEATER TO EXCEL ALL OTHERS. New Playhouse at Thirty-fifth and State Streets Declared to Be the Most Modern Place of Kind—Many Exits. The. State Theater, at State and 53th streets, now nearing completion, will be the most modern and by far the prettiest in exterior and interior decorations than any house on South State street, is the announcement of its management. The place is scheduled to open one day this week, and this event is awaited with interest. Thousands of dollars have been spent to complete this temple of amusement, and it is predicted that it will at once take the lead in affording clean and wholesome enjoyment to South Side theater goers. One of the principal features noticed during a visit through the building this week were the many exits. Every one is assured of safety. The seats were being set, and it was learned that they were designed and made especially for this place. Another alluring feature is the ventilating system. The most modern ideas have been brought together in this effort for the comfort of the patrons, and it is said that the State Theater will be second to none along this line. Comfort and service is to be the motto of the new house of amusement. MR. JAS. WOODARD CELEBRATES 50TH BIRTHDAY Mr. James Woodard, 4828 Armour avenue, vied with the nation in celebrating its birthday July 4. It was his birthday also. He was 50 and happy in the possession of as many dollars (the gift of his wife). He spent the day in a strenuous round of pleasure. Fireworks being prohibited, this half a century old man enjoyed a dinner fit for a king. There was chicken a la Maryland, beans, corn and potatoes done to the queen's taste, while a luscious water melon, served in true Mississippi style, was the desert. So thoroughly did Mr. Woodard enjoy himself that late callers found it difficult to make him hear the bell, and when he did he complained of having a slight attack of indigestion. 50TH ANNIVERSARY COMMITTEE ENTERTAINED BY T. W. SWANN The committee appointed last week by Governor Dunn to have charge of the fiftieth anniversary exposition of the race in 1914 were entertained, together with representatives of the press, nt "Ponders," 3356 Calumet avenue, Thursday afternoon. Mr. Thomas Wallace Swann was the host. The illustrious prelate, Bishop Fallowes, was the most notable person present. In his remarks he spoke of the cordiality that existed in the work and of his hope for the greatest exposition ever held in the United States. Those present were Mrs. Ida B. Walls-Barnet of the Fellowship Herald, Mr. Jululus F. Taylor of the Broad Ax, Mr. R. S. Abbott of the Chicago Defender, Mr. S. B. Turner of the Illinois Idea, Mr. A. N.

Others present were Mr. Horace Spencer, Washington, Iowa, and Mr. J. Gray Lucas. AN IMMACULATE BARRISTER. Patrons of the surface and elevated roads are responsible for the statement that Attorney T. Webster Brown is the valemist practitioner at the Illinois bar. The most exquisite brand of perfumes is his hobby, and many claim that an imported face powder is responsible for that bright complexion every morning while en route to his office. That smile, it is said, is due to Smileneer, while those curly locks are daily treated to Slickermerine. Together with those silken socks of rainbow hue, with the latest drop garters, T. W.

ELABORATE AFFAIR GIVEN IN HONOR OF DAUGHTER Phoenix, Arlz., July 11.—One of the most attractive social affairs of the season here was given July 1 by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Stearns in honor of their daughter, Beatrice, who lately returned from George R. Smith College at Sedalia, Mo. It was a 5 o'clock tea and covers were laid for eight. One of the out-of-town guests was Mr. J. Johnson of Chicago. After the tea an informal reception was held and there were fifty present. CHICAGO HAS MOTORCYCLE AND AUTOMOBILE MANIA So-called "Joy Riders" Operating These High-Speed Power Vehicles Are Responsible for the Appalling Amount of Deaths and Accidents—Coroner's Officials Investigating the Calamities Put the Blame on Reckless Drivers and Alcohol. BOOZE AND GASOLINE DON'T GO TOGETHER The Horeless Age Is Being Disgraced—Every Race Haa Suffered—The People Cry Out in Horror, for one's Life is Never Safe—Lawmakers Must Take Some Drastic Action—Many Wealthy Persons Cheerfully Pay a High-Speed Fine But Forget it as Soon as They Get on a Good Road Again. According to a responsible Michigan avenue manufacturer, Chicago is "automobile crazy," and add to that the motorcycle and you have the cause for the appalling amount of deaths in the city and the many accident cases that fill our city hospitals. The recent death of a well-known woman caused this inquiry. She went "joy riding," but the party made too many stops for refreshments, and the chauffeur lost control of the machine, and the result of running into an iron pole cost one life and infused two others. A day or two later "joy riders" of another race ran a machine off a bridge in Lincoln Park and another life was lost. The next day some joy riders busted up a high-power machine and three were severely injured. At the same time of the cases mentioned above reckless motorcyclists were responsible for many persons being sent to the hospitals suffering from severe injuries. The Demon Driver. The even balanced men and women have little regard for others when they get behind the steering wheel of an automobile. They "go crazy." To outrun every other machine is their only desire. Equally as blind in regard to life and limb is the mica-protected motorcyclist. Biff! and you strike the sidewalk; life is extinct, or the ambulance carts you off to the nearest hospital. Often the person operating these horseless vehicles are what are known as "strainers." Business, family, servants and everything else suffer in order to help them maintain that wonderful car and to keep pace with the "KS" in the apartment across the street. The accident occurs, the workman or washerwoman is killed or injured, poorer by far than the driver, but in the end both families suffer. Booze and Gasoline. Coroner's juries investigating many of the recent deaths in this city ascribe the fault to too much alcohol, "Booze and gasoline don't go together," and the lawmakers of the city must separate them. "One's life is never safe nowadays," said the women at a recent club meeting. "You start across the street, and from east, west, north and south comes one of those 'devil machines.'" At times even the crossing policeman has to make a quick step to save his life. This is a downtown incident, but in other sections of the city reckless operators feel safe in the fact that a possible high-speed fine will be the only result of their mad race through the city, sink low in their seats, the speed is increased and the luckless person whose head hits the sidewalk is soon left behind, unless perchance an officer on a motorcycle is at hand and overtakes him. The Remedy. The state and city officials must get busy. Surely the great state of Illinois and progressive Chicago can cope with these maniacs who fill their heads with "booze" and then try to run an automobile or a motorcycle. Let there be a stop to it at once. Chicago can do anything if it wants to. Always a leader, why not do a little effective work at home and stop the demons that run automobiles and motorcycles. "I will," says Father Dearborn. IN CHICAGO AND SUBURBS. Master Tom Marshall, 13 West 50th street, has gone to Milwaukee, Wis., to visit his aunt, Mrs. Valvelda.

TANNER LOSES CHECKER MATCH Ten Days' Struggle Brings Defeat—Inter Ocean Checker Editor Won Over Race Expert. Tanner the Greatest Player in State Despite His Loss. By Frank Young. The checker match between Julius D'Orio, checker editor of the Chicago Inter Ocean, and G. M. Tanner, the race expert and considered the best in the state, went to the former after ten days of hard playing by four games. The final score stood 7 to 3 and twenty-seven games drawn. The match was to have gone forty games, but the winner's lead of four made it unnecessary to play the remaining three. The play closed Tuesday night. Sunday there were three nice original games, and one followed safe book lines. In the afternoon session Tanner took the aggressive, but failed to get any advantage, and drew the first game by some of the most clever playing ever seen here. The second game brought disaster to Tanner. In the evening session Mr. D'Orio forced a draw with the black side of the cross opening and scored a brilliant win with the white. The greatest battle was played last Monday during the evening session, and both games resulted in victories, the endings being remarkably long. The opening ballot brought forth the Denny. With the white side Mr. Tanner won it after a battle royal of five kings to four. Another long, tedious ending developed when Mr. D'Orlo played the white. After three hours of the hardest kind of play he culminated a brilliant win in a position of five kings to three kings and two men. GALESBURG, ILL. Galesburg, Ill., July 11.—For three months the members and friends of Allen Chapel A. M. E. church have been engaged in a strenuous financial campaign.

The distinction of having one of the prettiest parties ever given in Chicago belongs to the members of the Astra Club who gave their informal Solree at the Carter Villa the evening of July 4. Full justice cannot be given herein to describe the brilliancy and tone lent to the affair by the presence of Chicago's most beautiful young ladies and most popular young gentlemen. The affair was the initial effort of the club and speaks excellently for the gentlemen of whom it is composed. The president, Mr. Vincent Saunders, in an address to the assembly, expressed most sincere thanks to the guests for the honor of their presence. The party was chaperoned by Mrs. William Mitchel. THE JOLLY TWENTY CLUB. The Jolly Twenty met at the home of Mrs. Etta Antterhope, 1238 Webster avenue, July 2. The club also held their semi-annual election of officers: Mrs. Robert Bell, president; Mrs. Etta Brown, vice president; Miss Jessie Richardson, secretary; Miss Leonora Curtis, assistant secretary; Mrs. Bessie Carter, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Winnett Harrison, treasurer; Mrs. Mayme Harris, sergeant-at-arms. The program for the evening was a solo by Mrs. Robert Bell, after the club adjourned; Mrs. Anterthrope served a delicious repast. Visitors present were: Mrs. Debonis and daughters, Jessica and Emma Debonis, Mr. Rice. The next meeting is to be with Miss Leonora Curtis, 876 Chestnut place, July 16, when the club will hold their installation of officers.—Mrs. Bessie Carter, corresponding secretary. HYDE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD SETTLEMENT.` The Hyde Park Neighborhood Settlement held its first anniversary July 4 on the lawn at 5617 Jefferson avenue. Mrs. Celia Parker Woolley, Mr. and Mrs. L. Brackett Bishop and Mrs. Julia Burgess were the principal speakers on the program. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lewis were managers of the whole affair and made it the success it was. "The sewing and dressmaking classes are doing excellent work. The girls will sew at two o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and if it is hot, they will sew in Jackson Park. If not, they will sew at the center as usual. The dressmaking classes meet Thursday at three and Tuesday evening at eight. For full particulars, address Miss Clotee E. Scott, president. Miss Luna M. Scott, the Milwaukee correspondent of the Defender, and the manager of Scott Bros. news depot, is in the city and residing at the Hyde Park Settlement. Miss Luna Scott has been engaged to open a piano studio at the Settlement, as is such an accomplished teacher and pianist. There is a great demand for efficient teachers and Miss Scott fulfills this demand. Special attention will be given children who will attend the Settlement. No parent ought to let any of these good opportunities pass by. CHICAGO UNION CHARITY CLUB. The Chicago: Union Charity Club met at Mrs. J. L. Brown's, 4538 State street, July 3. A splendid meeting was held. The amount received from the Bulgarian Princess entertainment up to date is $22.80, and reports are not all in. The club thanks those that were so kind to make the entertainment a success. Mrs. Nellie Harrison, 6040 Ada street, was a visitor. The club adjourned at 5:30 after being beautifully served by the hostess, and a rising vote of thanks was extended her. Thursday July 17, will be the next meeting. It will be held in Washington Park.

Among the out of town relatives who attended was Mrs. F. W. King, his sister-in-law, the well-known Chicago undertaker. Arthur Edward Adkins, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Adkins, and grand son of Attorney and Mrs. Arthur H. Simms, died Wednesday morning, July 2.

THE CHICAGO DEPENDER TELLS OF LIFE IN GAY HAVANA Old Formalities Are Giving Place to American Ways, Says Wife of Mexican Minister to Cuba. Washington, D. C.—Senora Adele P. de Cody, wife of the Mexican minister to Cuba, is spending the winter in Washington, where she is well known and popular. In a recent interview she had much of interest to say about Havana, where she has her home. The interview in part, was as follows: "Havana is a beautiful city and we found Americans coming there in vast numbers, usually from Florida or from New Orleans after the carnival time. It is worthy of a visit, indeed, to spend an entire winter there if one has the leisure. Many seem to possess that comfortable combination of plenty of time and the requisite cash and it THE RAILWAY Havana Suburban Road. was delightful to run across friends from every part of the United States in the streets of Havana. My long residence in Washington has given me friends in every state sometimes, which adds so much to the pleasure and filling out of life. "Winter in Havana is a season of delight. We have established our home along the ocean front and truly it surpasses description. The mingling of deep blue water with deep blue sky, the white winding road along the sea and the magnificence of flower and foliage make a picture which one misses and regrets. Havana. I am sorry to say, like so many other Latin-American cities, is giving up the patio and villa type of the south of France and that of the American south and southwest is becoming more prevalent. I regret the patio sincerely but the younger generation find more to admire in the story on story house with all the modern accessories. There are; however, still some splendid old mansions in Havana, where the patio exists in its pristine glory. This style is where the rooms of the home look out into an inner court filled with flowers, where a fountain tinkles and the family delights to gather for intimate communion. Some of the old government buildings have the patio. "Social life in Havana is as admirable as the climate. I think the mingling with the odd ceremonial customs with the less formal ones of today has bred an air of easy social intercourse, which is most agreeable and not at all restrictive. Many of the older residents continue the formal method of life which is part of Spanish civilization. Many others have adopted the easy ways of Americans, so that one may see the customs of two worlds and of two differing eras flourishing by side. There are so many balls and theater parties and dinings without number; in fact, it is rather unusual during the social season not to have guests to dinner and then go with them later to a ball or the opera or the theater. There is much visting and one may make a visit after a supper which follows the theater, something unheard of here. But then often the daylight hours are satryl and they are given to home duties and those avocations which keep one out of the sun; while the brisk breezes which spring up with the departing day inspire energy to visit and enjoy social pleasures. I do not find the heat debilitating or more oppressive, as a rule, than in other parts of the world in summer. Washington can be very warm, as all who know will testify, and it has not the advantage of a constant breeze from the sea which Havana enjoys every evening and through the night." CUTS SERMON; FIGHTS FIRE Then Having Saved Neighboring Property Long Island Priest Continues Services. New York.—Glancing out of a window while preaching a sermon in St. Patrick's church, in Smithtown Branch, L. I. Rev. William J. Duhigg saw fire in the home of G. E. Sampson, opposite the church. The priest halted in the middle of a sentence. "My friends," said he, "there is a fire in a neighboring dwelling. It is our duty to try and save it." Not stopping to remove his vestments Father Duhigg ran out of the church, followed by the men of his congregation. He quickly organized a bucket brigade, which saved the outbuildings, but the dwelling was destroyed. Then Father Duhigg led the members back to church and continued his sermon. Woman's Appendix Cost $100,000. Paris, France.-Seeking to escape the fate of her sister, who died after an operation for appendicitis in this country, Mrs. Tomasco Dornello, wife of a Peruvian millionaire, is on her way to Paris to have a famous French physician operate. Making the trip with her family, two maids and a private physician, Mrs. Dornello estimates it will cost her $100,000 to get rid of her troublesome appendix. For Posterity "Hear you laid the cornerstone for a new depot at your town." "Yes; and there were some novel features. We put under it a railroad sandwich and a piece of pie." SHE WAS NOT BLIND SHE WAS NOT BLIND By GRACE K. BOSTWICK. Because he had loved her a long time, he hesitated about telling her. With the direct divination of a woman's intuition, she surmised the truth. He had been trailing all about the subject for several moments, waiting the necessary courage. She took the matter in hand calmly. "Why don't you tell me, Day?" she asked quietly. He started and looked at her uncomfortable. She smiled. "Is it sure, this time?" her voice was low and even. There was not the slightest suggestion of a scene in the atmosphere. He pulled himself together with a jerk. "Meg," he said softly, "you're a wonder! How did you know?" "How could I help knowing?" she asked. "I am not blind." "But I thought—I have been just the same." he insisted. "Your heart was not in it, that was all," she replied sadly. "She is not like you," he said bestatingly in response to her questions. "She is little and pretty and needs someone to care for her." Margaret started. Had it gone so far already? "I was not attracted toward her at all at first," he explained, "but she seemed so helpless and I got in the way of doing little things for her. She has the sweetest smile and she is O, hang it all, Meg! don't make a fellow tell you such fool things!" he blurted out uneasily. "You need tell me nothing unless you like, boy." She used the little name unconsciously. "You know you are not bound to me in the slightest way. When are you to be married?" He fushed hotly. "She is very lonely and she is only waiting until I can see my way clear to—" "Then you were waiting my consent?" Her tone was cold. "By all means, let it be at once. Delay no longer." He looked at her compassionately. "I knew it was going to be hard on She Stood Erect. you," he said remorsefully. "I am a brute, Meg. I hated to tell you worse than—" "You are very considerate," it was not quite a sneer, though he winced at the tone. "You will be—we must always be the best of friends, Meg." he half questioned. She smiled bitterly. "Friends? Why, of course; we could not be less, could we? "And you will come to see her and visit us and be quite the same?" There was a note of anxiety in the man's voice that touched her. "I can't promise," she said quietly, "for I am going away. I had meant to tell you before, but I, too, hated to hurt you." The sarcasm was lost on him. "We have been such chums—such comrades!" his voice broke a trifle. "It is hard to say good-bye." "Yes, it is hard," she assented gravely, but without spirit. There was a long pause. "May I kiss you once more?" he asked haltingly. She looked at him long and searchingly. "O, you men, you men!" she exclaimed with sudden passion, as she looked deep into his eyes with bitterness of soul. "You take all we have to give—all—and still—" there was a sob in her throat "it's a little game to you," her voice was steady once more. "A little game that you play to the end—and the end is whenever the fancy dies—that is all!" He started miserably to explain. "No, you may not! Do you think I would have the caresses that belong to another? I am not that sort. You are, free to go to her—it is all right! I can say no more. O, go, go, for mercy's sake, go!" She stood, drawn to her full height, superb, queenly in her womanly dignity. He hesitated yet for a moment, looking helplessly into her face that had lived in his consciousness for three short—yes and happy years—then he turned silently and left the room, closing the door behind him. (Copyright by Dally Story Pub. Co.) For the Window Box. Much of the summer splendor of the window box depends on its springtime care—the box itself, the soil put in it, the planting of seeds and plants and the early culture of them. It is generally more satisfactory to buy the plants already started at the florist's, but if you desire to raise them from seeds plant the seeds in a shallow box of well drained finely powdered earth, and transplant them to small pots when they are big enough—when they have four or five leaves. When they have grown to be sturdy and strong and have many leaves they can be transplanted to the window box, or else can be planted in the larger pots for a few weeks and then put in the box. Only professional florists insist that all plants—all flowering plants—should be three times transplanted to give the best results. Doesn't.

The park is much pleasanter on a hot night than State street. After the 4th of July is a good time to begin saving up for the coal man. It takes a lot of moral courage for some of our Southern friends to pass a store displaying "watermelons on ice" signs. Some policemen are so unreasonable. The other morning about two clock, one insisted upon knowing what a young man was doing climbing up on a back porch on Prairie Ridge, and he told youth told him planty and simply that he was trying to get away from the madcap crowd that he might read a letter from his sweetheart the policeman yanked him over to the station and told him to call it to the judge in the morning. That's no nice way to do. DEMOGRATS ON TRIAL Some wivesace in Oklahoma think the solution (another one of the fifty-seven varieties) of the race problem in that state lies in the Negroes swallowing their past grievances and joining the Democratic party, thereby relieving the opposition of the "Lily white" in Indiana and the "Indyugene" in only in Oklahoma but in White, that is the Union the colored citizen that in great numbers, voted the Democratic ticket, and it remains to be seen whether the move was a wise one or not. The Democrats have a golden opportunity that tradition or prejudice should not be permitted to interfere with. The colored vote has placed many at once, since holder, and it can be used as effectively to displace them: THE SUPREME COURT. We must accept as final any decision that the Supreme Court renders, but that doesn't hinder us from knowing and feeling that decision such as we were led down regarding the rights of the Negro, is decidedly unfair, and must to a class of citizens who already have heaped upon them we must they can bear. And every fair-minded citizen will make an instance, from a conclusion that a transportation company may sell a first-class ticket to a colored person, then give the purchaser second-class service. Fortunately each state regulates "divil rights" within its jurisdictions according to their own sehiments and convictions and even though the Supreme Court has apparently licensed "Jim Crowism" we feel sure out influential friends will aid us in the fight for justice, simple justice. JURY OF WOMEN DISAGREE In a court in Indiana twelve women sat on a jury in a case where one of their own sex was being tried. Without going into any long argument about the merits of the case we are simply going to 'chronicle the fact that the dear ladies disagreed, nothing surprising in that, who ever heard of twelve women agreeing on any way, that they would have a handsome chap, that he might have a chance for acquittal. Now that the women are here to stay Mayor Harrison suggested the placing on the police force of about ten female officers, he doesn't state whether he intends to have the state miliiin follow them to protect them or not, but now that they have suffrage we must give them representation in every branch of our government, Indiana has set the pace but we will go them one better. CONTAMINATING NURSES THE ST. JOHN'S HOSPITAL Board is still trying to thrash out the question of employing colored nurses for colored patients. The same members point out that as there is no separate hospital for the whites and colored it would be impracticable, and they do not believe as charged, that the employment of white female nurses in negro male wards has a tendency to lower the morality of the nurses or to make them less competent, no sentiment attached to taking care of the sick, and the average young woman who embarks in the nursing profession fails no easy victim to either a white or black 'sufferer, it is a task for them, sometimes pleasant and often very unpleasant. The sight of one sick or afflicted is not conducted, and the disgruntled members of the board will have to think out a better reason the next time. OUR WOMEN. Mrs. Fannie Barrier-Williams, writing in the Inter Ocean on "Colored women and the suffrage" says in part: "The colored women have a larger average of intelligence and are better equipped in every way than were the colored men when they were enfranchised. The proportion of colored women who are graduates from all kinds of institutions of learning is surprisingly large. These women will bring to this new citizenship not ignorance, not insensitivity, but patriotism, not the spirit of office seeking but of law enforcing." Mrs. Williams is a great student and a forceful worker, she has a happy faculty of getting at the heart of things and driving the truth home in a way that makes an impression. It is true the colored women of today are better equipped intellectually than were the men of fifty years ago. While this is more strikingly true of the women of the past, it is also true of the future. The past few years has seen a wonderful advancement in women and there is nothing but good that can come from their entrance into the fold. WHO IS WHITE? An interesting point touching the color question has been raised by the decision of a Washington judge admitting a Hindoo to citizenship, despite the fact that the law authorizes the naturalization only of white persons in the United States. The judge took the position that because the Hindoo could trace his origin back to the Aryan race that he therefore came within the legal definition of the word "white." According to the theory of the Washington judge the question of citizenship was not to be determined by color but by race. If race is not determined, the judge should be upheld by the highest court in the land some very interesting questions touching the people of mixed blood in this country may arise. A large per cent of the mulattos can trace their ancestry on either the maternal or paternal side, back to the purest Aryan stock and would therefore be within the definition of the white or western court. It might, too, settle the much mooted question of Japanese citizenship. DUNNE AND THE EXPOSITION. DUNNE AND THE EXPOSITION. Gov. Dunne has a queer way of discharging his political obligations if one is to judge by his appointment of commissioners for the Negro Exposition. Out of nine members selected by the Governor, Senator Percy is the only one who has been colored Democrats seem to have been overlooked and recognition given only to those who fought him when he was a candidate for the office he now holds. It would be difficult to determine by what method of political figuring the Governor selected this commission. In the appointment of other commissions created by the legislature the governor has gone to great pains to see that his Democratic friends were taken care of. Why he departed from the rule in the case of the commissioner, his exposition is a mystery. It is certain that Governor's staunchest and most loyal supporters were ignored in making his selections. It is equally true that stronger and more representative men could have been chosen from the colored citizenship of the state regardless of party affiliations. Speaking of charity beginning at home it is far more important to the United States that its people be cared for than the heathen claimed by some other nation be rescued. Philanthropites are beginning to recognize the discouraging conditions against which the American colored man is struggling. They are forced to be content with the roughest kind of manual labor because clerkships and office positions are closed to him by popular prejudice, and if by exception ability or resolution he succeeds in winning a place above the common lot, his financial reward is smaller than that of the white men occupying relative positions. There has been an awakening here in Chicago among the men of position and wealth and many new positions have been given to our young men and women, and why is this change coming about? Because the young men and women have shown that they have persistently knocked on the door of opportunity, have met rebuft after rebuft and "ave come back smiling and knocking harder, those are the kind that make their way in the world and those are the kind unprejudiced business men are seeking. GRANDFATHER LAWS. GRANDFATHER LAWS. Little did the "drammer of the Grandfather laws" think their efforts to tie the overwhelming number of colored people, would act as a boomerang, and that the law would put premium on white ignorance, by prescribing that a colored man could not vote without education, while they could vote anyway. A striking commentary on how this law has panned out is shown by the answer of an old Southern planter who was asked how the South was coming along with its efforts to keep the white man on top. He repened. "We're all right now and we can do it," he said. "We hate to think of what's coming. Those darn negroes are laying and getting educated, and when there's enough of 'en they'll demand the ballot, and we'll have to give it to them." In order to keep anyone down in the mire you'll have to stay down there with them, they can enact laws that will oppress the negro in every part of the country if they will, but there's something greater than man made laws that will unhappen in the end. The planter who realizes this is not far distant when we will demand the ballot and all that goes with it. The next laws will not be designated "Grandfather laws" but "Grandson laws" and we will have a hand in the making. THE EDITOR'S MAIL. Praises The Defender Stand. Spartanburg, S. C. July 7, 1913. Editor Abbott: I am sending you a chook to my subscription to the Chicago Defender for the year. I always look forward to the coming of your paper with great delight and appreciate your many fight for obliteration of race hatred, and the restoration of equal rights to all and special privileges to none. I had hoped to be with you all for a vacation during the summer, but busched called me elsewhere. With best wishes, I am. Yours very truly, F. J. YOUNG. A South Carolina Philopher. No. 905 Fairfield St., Aiken, S.C. Editor, The Defender. My Dear Sir: I am indebted to some person in your city—possibly my son, H. D. Middleton—for copies of the book I have brightened journal, The Defender, for which I wish to express my sincere and hearty appreciation. You occupy a high plane and the excellence of your editorials and contributions shows mental equipment for the instruction of our young people especially; and for the Negro race in general. The pity is that we as a nation are not showing "the sun can see me; and the moon can see me; and all the people can see me," is the weakness of our race. Oh, yes; there are many, very many noble exceptions; else the thinking men and women of the race would become dishartened and desire to die as did Elifah after his signal triumph. You are Jack Navigator, in your last issue, should be read from every Negro pulpit in our country. If we, the ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ, would get down from our aerie and deal more largely in practicalities as did Jesus and Paul. It would possibly help the situation. Now no censure of my brethren is necessary, for we are of our best young people are going north and west, but, but, but, but. Great God, helps us! Hanbalium up-to-date. The despised Jew is persecuted; he sells dry goods and prays. The Negro is deprived of his rights and then lynched for passions and crimes, and numerous to mention; dedicates halls innumerable for his "lodges," and then he parades. The average lodgeman in bright regalia, or in our southern parlance "regaled," imagines himself within the pearly gates, etc. Abbot, I am forced to the conclusion, that I am not still. Still, I am not in despair; but it is a bold fact that many of the race can not endure a little prosperity. Well, let us hope on, tooll on, pray on and trust in God. Though in my 75th year of age I am no pessimist. I have more grape-shot, Dr Abbott, and my wife, Arsighted, purp-hearted and educated young men to lead our people to higher planes of citizenship. Very respectfully yours, J. B. MIDDLETON, 905 Fairfax St. Alken, S. C. Where the Calculator Scores.

Wilberforce Williams 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. Caring for the Baby. Caring for the Baby. We need for a square deal to the baby. We need for the earnest plea for the babies because we love them; then, too, we were all once babies. Everybody likes a nice, clean, healthy baby. Every baby should be clean and healthy and when it is not clean and healthy it is the baby. We need this hot weather, babies should be well cared for. We too often neglect the baby. These hot summer days are trying on babies and young mothers. I am sorry for the babies because I love them and because I love babies. Many the sands of babies die each year as result of poor feeding, improper feeding, over clothing and lack of fresh air. Heat and Ignorance Kill Babies. Many lovely babies are killed through ignorance of the mother or caretaker during months. Spoiled Foods Sour milk, milk exposed to heat and files become sour and dangerous. Too much food and feeding too often are more dangerous than too little food and less often feeding during the hot season. Some mothers have the dirty habit of feeding the babies to the babies. This is dangerous to the babies because the mother's mouth often contains many microbes; then, too, the habit is unsanitary. Breast Milk. Breast milk is the best milk for the baby, in fact, it is the best and only food the baby should have until it has its teeth. Mothers who are overheated, excited, angry, worried or ill, nurses or worsens their mood and when the mother is much fatigued and there has been a long time since the baby nursed, she should draw off a few spoonfuls of milk and throw it away, because anger, excitement, fatigue, worry and being overheated can cause the baby to lose the system, thereby poisoning the milk and rendering it injurious and dangerous to the baby. The bad condition of the mother often produce vomiting, colic, convulsions and diarrhea in the baby. Mothers should feed the baby a good nourishing food, not heat-producing food. They should have a bath at least daily and be free from care and worry. Feeding Baby at Table **Feeding Baby at Table** Inoxidable medicine kind-characted but ignores the baby's needs by feeding them at table during the regular meals. They give them a little pie, gravy and bread, pickle, banana, mashed potatoes, meat, bacon or a chicken bone to suck and vegetables; and to drink, they give a little tea, cocoa or milk. These articles of diet are bad and should not be given to the baby under any circumstances until it has its full set of teeth. They are strangers and injurious to the baby's stomach. The baby is not able to mastachieve in its mouth and mix it with the saliva which aids stomach digestion. Baby Sickens and Dies. Nursing Baby. The baby should be nursed every two or three hours during the first six months during the day, and once or twice during the night if it wakes and demands it. Some babies require should use common sense. After the first six months the baby should be nursed four times a day and once at night. Don't feed the baby every time it cries. Too much feeding will give stomach and bowel troubles. You should diarrhea as a result of its feeding it may mean that it is getting too much feeding and that the milk is too rich and should be diluted with a little water or that the mother should drink more water. Baby should be given water, cold water but not ice water from a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful. Boll the water, put it into a clean vessel, not tin, and place it in your refrigerator or in a cool place. Bottle Feeding. We pity the baby that must be feed on the bottle, but all mothers who could should murse their baby at their breast. Mothers should let society go and care for baby. The baby is not responsible for its being in this world and should be given a chance for its life. If you must feed the baby on a bottle, give it from 2 to 3 tablespoonfuls at each feeding for the first 20 minutes, then on frequently increase, giving from 2 to eight tablespoonfuls. But don't overfeed the baby. It is best to Pasteurize milk. Clean and Sweet Baby. Clean and Sweet Baby. The baby should be bathed often during the hot weather—from two to four hours. It is hard enough it should be allowed to play in water. It is best to bathe the baby before feeding and always wait until an hour or an hour and one-half after eating before bathing it. Dress, Sleep are Exercise. Dress baby as likely as possible. Healthy A. Wilberforce Williams ly Talk on Preventative s, First Aid Remedies, s, Sanitation. No Cases Diagnosed and No Pre- s will be Given in This HOT WEATHER CARE OF BABIES Press Service, Department of Health. Hot weather is hard on the babies for the reasons that their food is more apt to be spoiled, their vitality is less the heat, and because they are often overweight, they have diarrhea in hot weather than when the weather is cool. Diarrhea diseases kill thousands of babies in Chicago every year. These alliments can be prevented by: 1. Absolute cleanliness. 2. Keeping the baby warm. 3. Proper feeding. 4. Plenty of boiled water to drink—cooled, but not leaked. When the baby gets diarrhea, stop all food and give a dose of cannor oil. Instead of milk or other food give the baby-barley water. It not better to give the baby-barley water to a doctor. If you cannot afford a doctor, call on the Health Department. Here is an excellent formula for making barley water. To two tablespoones of barley water, enough of a quart of cold water to measure a paste, then add the remainder of the quart of water, stir and boil fifteen to twenty minutes. Barley flour is better than pearl barley; it requires much less cooking. If pearl barley is used, boil two or three hours. Barley water must be made fresh every day. A well baby should have at least one tub bath every day. The water for an ordinary bath should be about body temperature, two degrees higher. Use a thermometer (if you have an electric thermometer on the band to determine the temperature) warm days a baby should be sponged two or three times with lukewarm water in which salt is dissolved in the proportion of a teapoonful to each pint; or a little alcohol (not wood alcohol) may be used instead of the salt. Always give the bath before feeding—hover immediately after feeding—before care to cleanse the body cremains, especially after bowel movements. Dry thoroughly and if talcum powder be used, use only the best and unscanted. Don't let your baby crawl on a dirty floor. Wash its hands after creeping. Babies cry: Because they are tired lying on one side and they are unable to turn over. When the baby is in a while. Because they are not able to soiled and therefore unscanted. Because they are thrirsty. Babies must have water (boiled and cooled—but not leed) to drink. Because they are too warm and possibly irritated by "prickly heat". Because they are sleepy and wish to be sleepy and let alone. Because the air in the room is cool and smelly. Babies require lots of fresh air. Because their clothes are too tight, or perhaps a pin is sticking them. Because crying is the only way they know to tell you something is wrong. Of course, babies cry when in pain, but you should find out if it is not some of the above stated causes before deciding that it is pain which is causing the crying. Above all, get the notion out of your head that every time the baby is hungry. Keep the air in the open air all day during the hot weather. Let it sleep outdoors, but always in a shaded place, away from dust and strong winds, and protected from flies. When the Mind is Hipened. No man can learn what he has not preparation for learning, however near to his eyes is the subject. A chemist may tell his most most precious secrets to a carpenter, and he shall be never the wiser—the secrets he would not utter to a chemist for an estate. . . Our eyes are holden that we cannot see things that stare us in the face until the hour arrives when the mind is ripened; then we behold them and the time when we saw them not is like a dream—Emerson. When the Mind Is Pinear Resuming the Status in Life He Once Held But Lost. By Elder W. D. Forede. [First of a series of articles written expressly for The Chicago Defender. —13] The divine act of Jehovah in having confounded the language of the immediate posterity of Noah and thus scattered them over the face of the earth is a most striking expression of His will and purpose relative to the manner in which the earth should have been settled, and the local settlement of the various races in their original territories has afforded an opportunity to exhibit of the various change. Indigenous to each race. The subject of ethnology knows it to be an undeniable fact that each race of men has its peculiar characteristics—some commendable, others objectionable. It is therefore conclusive that every race is dependent upon the commendable special interchange of the commendable bestowed on peculiarly bestowed by nature. The fore, this being true, every race on the globe has commissioned to it some particular play to play in the world's great dramatic program. It is therefore very important that every man really realize this, but that he also realize that he is identified with one of the denomination human race he should be intelligent concerning the part allotted the particular race of which he is a member. I do not believe in race worship nor man worship, for either is rank idolatry; but I do believe in what I do. I do not designate as race patriotism, and I do not designate as other race stands more in need of this kind of patriotism than does the Negro. No man can understand to be a true race patriot without possessing a degree a knowledge of the history of the Negro longs, for without this knowledge there is nothing to inspire appreciation or patriotism, and this is the real secret to the slowness of the Negro possessing that necessary amount of self and his Negro brother to do great things as other races are doing. I believe I am safe in saying that not 80 per cent of he Negro race understand intelligently about their racial history, while a large majority of whites understand not much of a history at all. Many people gibly about the exploits of Alexander the Great or Napoleon Bonaparte who at the same time will not even remember that fair-minded historians and writers place Toussaint L'Ouver as the most illustrious generals of the world. Reflecting on the great Henry Ward Beecher or Spurgeon without even a passing thought of the great scholar and ecclesiastic, Bishop Crowther, the native-born black of sunny Africa. And what more host of other illustrious men of our own times and the days of yore? Now, why is so little known of the history of the Negro by the Negro? It is because he is not taught it; and he is not taught it because there are no text books on the subject; and there are none because it is designed that he should be kept in ignorance such a history, and he is kept in ignorance in order that there might be as little race patriotism as possible among the Negro in the last analysis, because it is it is that without race patriotism there cannot be effected any fundamental organization by any race. This plan has worked well for a time, until the thoughtful ones among the race have been made to awaken from a dangerous slumber. We had been taught long ago that our condition, an irrevocable fate; that the curse of Grandfather rested upon the race, so that our down was fixed for eternity. We recycded this fabricated false theology with all the faith of a trustful child, and settled down to bear all the results of the curse(?) that came echoing down the houry ages of time upon us. And the worst part of it all is that our curse made all the time been laughing up to us, to see how easily the greatgreak-grend children of Noah can be fooled into childish folly. Let us examine that portion of scripture that is used as a theological tomshawk on the. Negro. The scripture is found in Genesis 19:28. Noah drank wine and was drunken; and Ham disrespectfully exposed his father, other brethren. On being awakened he was made intelligent as to what Ham had done, and the respectful regard shown him by the other sons. He pronounced a blessing upon Shem and Japheth, but cursed Canaan. Who Canaan? The youngest son of Ham. Who Canaan? The ham' had four sons, not one. The masses of these in their order were Cush, Mizzal, Phut and Canaan. Each of these sons became the father of a distinct race and settled in a particular spot on the globe. Cush was the father of the Ethiopians, who called Negro is descendant. He is supposed to have been an opia, or that part of eastern Africa which extends from Morce, in upper Egypt, along the Red Sea, toward the Indian Ocean. Mizraim became the father of the Egyptians, who establishes themselves in Egypt. Phut is supposed to have himself near Lybain, and Canaan in the territory which bore his name, where he became the father of the Canaanites. From the foregoing it will be clearly seen that each of Ham's sons became the father of a separate people, occupying a particular territory. If that father must therefore fall upon the partition of Ham's family upon whom it was pronounced, and this could be none other than Canaan. Noah said: "Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall be unto his brethren. By what process of logic could this be made to be distinctly said Canaan? It would be reasonable to say that the curse was uttered upon Mizraim or Phut. that curse has ever been fulfilled it has fallen upon the Cannanites who were the offspring of Cannan. Now, every person of the slightest bit of common sense knows that Negroes are not the most shameful bit of ignorance therefore to assert that the Negro is doomed to eternal servitude on account of Nonah's curse. Such theology is both baneful: and shrewdly reflects ridiculously on the promoters and heredies of such an unfounded theory. ```markdown ``` The theory is used as a means to an end. The Negro who believes this theory can the more easily be kept neighbor as he esteem his opposite neighbor as he esteem his himself; and he the offspring of an innocent, who must always look up to his master through divine fate. The theory has a great psychological effect upon the mind of the convert. The theory has a great psychological effect upon the providence of an Almighty Father, who respecteth not the person of men or those respecteth aacter, quality and moral worth, we modern sons of Ham are beginning to see differently through the possession of a broader vision, and, like the apostle Paul, we need to forget those who are now behind, and reach forth to them as are before, pressing with all our God given energy toward the mark of the price of our high calling.

Win Three Firsts in the A. A. U. Games in Grant Park—Drew the Hero of the Meet. GREATEST CENTURY MAN IN THE WORLD. At the National amateur athletic games, held in Grant Park, two youths of the race starred and brought the applause from the multitude that turned out to see the games. Both boys had journeyed far, one coming from Boston and the other from Springfield. Mass. showed the effects of the ing T. Howe, formerly captain of the Boston English high track team, and Howard P. Drew, captain of the high school track team in his home town. Both of these boys have won laurels galore and in these two youngsters the race fans relied. Howe, on the "Fourth," won his way to the finals in the 220-yard dash. Then showed his heels to Van Winkle, of the N. Y. A. C. Upton of New Orleans, Lennon of the N. Y. A. C., Henry of Eden, Texas, and Irish, the pride of the Chicago A. A. The field was the pick of the east and the west and the south. Howe's time was 23 2-5. There was a strong wind blowing and the conditions were anything but good for a track meet. This was the junior game. Saturday was the big day and the weather conditions were the same as the day before. Drew won his trial heat in 10 2-5 and word quickly went through the stands that he was the much talked of athlete. Pitted against Meyers of the Irish-American A. C., Novemberger of the same club, Carroll of Pittsburgh, Reller, the Missouri crack, Belote of the Chicago A. A., Parker of the Chicago "U," in the final he surprised the critics by winning with ease and despite the strong wind he made it in 10 2-5. Again, in the 220-yard dash, he won his way to the finals and again he showed the same ease and composure when he romped home winner and winning not only the race but the individual cup of the meet, being the only one to win two firsts. Drew first came into notice several years ago in Pittsburgh at the A. A. U. games when he won the century dash, and it was there that Mike Murphy claimed that he would develop into one of the greatest runners of the country. Last spring he won every 100-yard dash that he was entered in, and a great many of the 220-yard dashes. He captured the cups in the Yale inter-scolastic and the other prep school meets, was prevented from entering the Harvard inter-scolastic, the officials declaring he was over 19 years old, the age limit of that meet Drew and Howe both have been consistent winners this year, the former traveling through the New England ties and New York, and winning those whom critics thought impossible. During the Olympic try-out in Cambridge last year, Drew beat Ralph Craig in the most exciting race ever held in the Harvard stadium. In so doing, he equalled the world's record for the 100-dollar dash in 10 4.5. Howe tried in the 440 but failed to gain a place. Drew was with the team but a sprained tendon kept him from winning the world's greatest race. Craig won but everyone knew that Drew could hit beat him. Conn back, he defeated A. T. Meyers a match race. Later in the fall made Carroll look sick in theirs in Pittsburgh. Gian Lose a Double Header. The an Stars won two games in American Giants on the Fourth. The first, went to the islanders by the shot-out route and the second was a pitcher's battle between Pedrosa and Doghery, the former having the beat support. The first game was a walkaway for the Cubans and their star, Patela, held the slugging Giants to three scattered bingles, winning 5 to 0. The second game went to the 2 to 1. The Chicago Grizzlies won one and lost one to the Munsters on the earth, 1 to 8 and 5 to 4. Both games exciting, as Crawford was put of the first for attacking the umand in the second, one of the other players was hit over the hit with a pitched ball, putting him out and a spectator was overcome by the heat in the bleachers. Defendera 24. Doctors 4. The Defenders won another slugging match Sunday when the Doctors alided by some help from the Dearborn Stars in sort of a mixed team went down 24 to 4. Foster pitched for the Defenders, giving way to Martin in the fifth, and Martin giving way to Ogelsby in the seventh. The winners knocked four pitchers out the box. Cary played in center with the same old line-up as before. Drake at short, Henderson at first, Radcliff at second, Lewis at third, and Young placed Grandpre behind the bat. The batting honors went to Martin with two home runs, Drake a homer and Foster also hit a circuit. Radcliff was there with five safe swats. The score: Defenders ..... 64 600 2222 22—24 Doctors ..... 001 000 0000 0—4 The Defenders challenge the Emergencies for a three-game series at Washington Park to be played Sunday morning.

Monday the Giants won 8-7 in ten innings, after a lot of squabbling on both sides. HERE AND THERE. The Spruedls lost the series but they left a bunch of newly made friends, for everyone that loves a clean ballplayer speaks in the highest terms of the West Baden boys. The Cubans lost to the Giants four straight and then won the fifth when they were here before. Since their trip to St. Louis they are playing wonderful. Some of the best crowds in the history of sent-pro ball have turned out at this park in the last two weeks, and the money going to the other race; that's why so many are pulling against Rube. Mendez is missed but the greatest black twirlr that ever held the sphere will probably pitch no more. He has gone too far back. The great white way has found another victim for its follies.

The town is in a flurry over the coming of the Philippine team which is billed to play here next Monday. The town is billed like Barnum's circus. J. D. HOWARD. THOMPSON COLTS DEFEATED BY EMERGENCY PLAY FEATURE By Observer The Thompson Colts and the Emergencies met in their annual baseball battle Friday, the 4th of July, in the afternoon at Washington Park, and from the moment the umpire said play ball until the game was over it was a battle royal. The size of the score does not in any way represent the merit and excitement of the game. It proved to be a slugging match right from the start, which caused two pitchers to be used on both sides. Every decision, especially if anywhere close, was contended, and not a point was overlooked that in any way would prove an advantage. The Colts were determined to get revenge at any cost for their former defeats, but Capt. Avendorph had a combination that was equally determined to add another victory to their list. Capt. Thompson had fortified himself with the best material possible and for the first seven innings it looked as though he had the real thing, as the score stood 12 to 6 in his favor, which caused him to bubble over with joy, but his joyful life was a short one; as the Emergencies demonstrated their fighting qualities by tying the score in the eighth. Capt. Thompson discovered two weak spots in his lineup, in himself and Lee Tobin, who will insist on using football tactics by boating the ball instead of catching it at critical moments. The Thompson got so badly mixed up on several occasions that he did not seem to realize that he ought to use his hands instead of his feet, the result of which he used his feet. The captain made a star catch of a Texas league, nevertheless. Berrie Irwin played a fair game. Ike Rivers pitched well as long as he lasted. For the Emergencies Joe Haddock, "Rube" Thompson, Williams and Avendorph were the stars. Aside from Haddock's batting, which was fierce, he played a star game at first. Capt. Avendorph proved a real come-back; he got two singles, two sacrifices, a base on balls and assisted in completing a triple play. When the triple was made it was the last half of the ninth, with three men on bases. The ball was knocked to center, which was caught by Walker, fielded to Thomsonlin and Thomason to Avendorph. It was so unexpected to the Colts that they lost their speech when completed. Joseph Thomas, who pitched the last five innings for the Emergencies, deserves special mention for his work. With a little more nerve and closer watching of the bases or runners he will make a first class man. The final score was 20 to 16. The line-up was as follows: Emergencies—Thomas, p; Swelr, c; Haddock, 1st b; Thomason, ss; Williams, 2nd b; Avendorph, 3rd b; Alrend, l; Walker, cf; Gordon, rf. Colts—Rivers, p; Jones, c; Kemp, 1st b; Irwin, 2nd b; Thompson, ss; DePrad, 3rd b; Tobin, l; Decourse, cf; Grant, rf.'

Dr. Dr. Carey and Senator Dalley, were present. While the committee was in session Tuesday evening an excellent program, under the direction of Mr. J. Gray Lucas, was presented in the auditorium. Mr. Kemper Harold, Mr. Hackney and other of Chicago's most talented musicians gave inspiring renditions. ```markdown ``` Tomorrow the pastor will preach at 10:45 a. m. and the Rev. Dr. Balaty at p. p. Strangers and visitors to our city are cordially invited. ST. LUKE'S M. E. CHURCH. The services at St. Luke's were well attended on Sunday last, especially in the evening. The pastor began a series of sermons based on the Lord's prayer. His subject last Sunday was, "The Father Who Art in Heaven." To our minds, this was one of Rev. Lewis' most able hermons. Our Sunday school is still reporting progress. Visit us next Sunday at 12:30; good music and well informed teachers. The Epworth League meets at its usual hour on Sunday evening; interesting topics are discussed in connection with the Bible. You are cordially invited to take part with us. Services at the regular hour on Sunday. Sunday morning service, 10:45 a.m.; Sunday school, 1:15 p.m.; Intermediate C. E. prayer meeting, 6 p.m.; Senior C. E. prayer meeting, 7 p.m.; evening service, 8 p.m. Most sweet are the memories which each of us enjoy after having spent a delightful day in God's house. This, the many present at last Sunday's services have surely found to be true. Everything seemed filled with the spirit and rich in the praises of God. The splendid sermons by the pastor and the unusually sweet music by the choir won the highest appreciation of all present. Dr. Wilson is coloring up here and there the faint parts and making ready everything for our comfort and spiritual enjoyment. Lo, the table is spread and the feast awaits you now. Come, you are most cordially invited and welcome at all times. Forty or more were present at the Intermediate Christian Endeavor prayer meeting last Sunday evening. The meeting was led by the president, whose request to have everyone in the house say something upon the topic, was granted. Meet with us Sunday, July 13. Remember, we are always glad to welcome strangers. Come, go to the picnic tomorrow. Everybody is going. The annual convention of the Allen Christian Endeavor League of the Chicago district will be held at St. Mary's church, 52nd and Dearborn streets, July 22-23, inclusive. MT. MORIAH BAPTIST CHURCH.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGA TIONAL, Don't Borrow Your Morality, Don't Borrow Your Religion, Says Dr. Gaylord, Pastor of the Second Congregational, Oak Park. Last Sabbath evening the members and friends of the Lincoln Memorial church were favored with an address delivered by the Rev. E. D. Gaylord, pastor of the Second Congregational church of Oak Park. Mr. Gaylord took as the basis of his discourse the story of the ten virgins, or maidens; five of whom were wise and five foolish. His main theme was, "Borrowing and Buying." Said the speaker in part: "Men of today are trying to live by making use of the standards of others. A borrowed morality and a borrowed religion is the curse of the age. "This habit of borrowing commences in the home. Many boys and girls, men and women are trying to substitute the virtues of their parents for their own. "In the establishment of character, there is no such thing as substituting the virtues of another for that which is lacking in us. With God, in his judgment and the mating out of rewards and penalties, each boy and girl, man and woman must stand or fall upon his or her own merit. "But not only is this true of the young and careless, but true also of many adults all the way through life. "You do not have to search to find individuals who have put on the ethical garb of another, instead of adopting the principle so far as it was good, and upon it working out for themselves a basis of morality. "Again, many try to borrow their morality and religion either from the past or the future. Many non-church goers and those who have allowed themselves to become lax in morals, if in a friendly and helpful way were called to task, will begin at once to tell of how faithful they once were to the work of the. Sunday school and church. What I was, and had, and used yesterday, will not answer for today. "The good which I admire, hope to be and achieve, continues to lay in the future. I see my present shortcomings, and I regret that I have them, but by and I am going to mend my ways. The boy and or girl who adopts this as his or her motto in the process of education, knows perfectly well what the end will be, a superficial getting through, or a disgraceful flunk and dropping out before the end is reached. The time will come when nothing except that which you have learned and made yours, will carry you through. "Husband and wife start out in the Rev. Eugene Lawrence. formation of a new home, but by common consent the two decide, well, we are both young, no use in making ourselves old yet, after while we will settle down to habits of industry, thrift and economy, but for a few years we will enjoy life, entertain, and be entertained, set big spreads, buy expensive and an excessive amount of clothes, keep up with all of the fashionable balls and card parties; in a single street phrase, "Spread it on heavy." Then, after a while, when the family begins to increase, we will sober down, buy a comfortable little home and prepare to offer our children the best advantages of the day. But in many cases before the turning point is reached, the life of one or both has been either wrecked or spent." Note. Rev. Gaylord is one of the strongest young men in the ministry of Chicago. In saying that, I have said all. It is of special interest; however, to know that he is the pastor of a church that has always been friendly and helpful to the colored people in addition to the service it has rendered, and still renders some of the struggling white churches. Mr. Gaylord is pastor of this church because his spirit matches that of the church body. QUINN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH The pleasant change in the weather last Sunday caused large and appreciative audience to turn out at "Mother Quinn." The morning sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Braxton, of Colorado Springs. He selected for his subject, "The Philosophy of Life." The evening sermon was delivered by Mrs. Nora F. Taylor, the noted Evangelist of Chicago, and was highly practical and instructive. The election of officers of the Allen Endeavor took place last week when the old officers were re-elected as an appreciation of their faithfulness. The church is now anticipating the annual conference, which meets in Evanston on the 17th of September. This is the fourth year of the administration of Dr. Cook and the church is determined that the report to the conference shall be up to the mark. To this end each and every member is urgently requested to hand in the conference dollar money as soon as possible. The debate between Magdalene Bible class and the Young Men's Bible class will take place this Tuesday night. The postponement was due to the storm of last Tuesday. Bishop B. F. Lee of Ohio will preach at Quinn this Sunday, July 13, at 11 a. m. He is the bishop of this district and one of the most learned of the bench of bishops. As a preacher he is profound and logical. NOTICE TO CHURCH CLERKS. The Defender would like to have it understood that notices of picnics, bazaars and any affair where a silver offering is lifted, save at regular church services, such must be paid for. We have had several churches insist on sending such matter in their church notes. We will not publish such matter free, and you should not insist on trying to inject them in your church notes. We have to live as well as you and we cannot if you don't help. FREDERICK DOUGLASS CENTER Sunday afternoon, July 13, at 4 p.m., Miss Grace Joslyn will speak on Porto Rico. Vocal solo by Mr. Alfred King of the Fisk Club. Piano duet by Mrs. G. L. Cone and Mr. J. D. Valentine. The heavy fall of rain Tuesday night prevented having the mothers' meeting. It will take place next Tuesday evening, July 15, at 8 p. m., with the same program, Miss Snyder to give the address. A group of our children were sent to the country this week for a two weeks' outing in Indiana, Mrs. T. G. Maxwell being instrumental in organizing the party. First reunion of the university students' meetings will take place Friday evening, July 18, at 8 p. m. GRACE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH The communion service was held last Sunday morning during which the following members were acknowledged: Misses Geneva and Marie Childress, Mrs. Ella Alexander, Mrs. Callie Hurd, Mrs. Anna Frierson, Mrs. Lillie Reynolds, who was also baptized as was Miss Edith McCray. Mrs. Juanta Hall and daughter, Claudie Bell, former members of the church, came by letter from the Memorial church. The children of Mrs. Washington and Mrs. Pergerson were baptized. There was a special meeting of the teachers and officers held after the Sunday school hour. A committee was appointed to make arrangements for the picnic. Mrs. Willie Sloan sang a solo at the morning service. Morning service, 10:45; Sunday school, 12:30; weekly prayer meeting, 8 o'clock Wednesday. WALTERS A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. The services at our church on last Sunday were well attended. It was the first Sunday in the new, conference year, and both members and friends were glad to welcome the return of our pastor, Rev. H. J. Callis. The annual conference held its session in Detroit, Mich. It was the fourth session of the Michigan conference, and the best one ever held. This is the smallest conference in our connection having less than a dozen appointments, nearly all of which are missions. The conference reported this year from all sources over $11,000 raised, one new church in construction, two new pieces of property paid for. The reorganization of our church for the new conference year is now in progress, and will be complete in the course of a week or two. We are hoping that the commission will decide to hold the next session of the general conference in Chicago, should it do so we would like very much to enlarge our church before its coming. We have a mortgage indebtedness at present of $6,000 which we hope to materially reduce this year, in order to get ready for the anticipated coming of the general conference. Rev. Callis will preach morning and evening Sunday. At 11 a. m. his subject will be, "Pure and Undeified Religion"; at 7:45 p. m., "The Follower of Jesus and the Joys of This Life." BETHEL'S A. M. E. CHURCH. The last quarterly meeting for this conference year was held at Bethel last Sunday, P. E. Rev. T. Reeves preaching both morning and evening. At both services Dr. Reeves preached in a profound spiritual manner. This being his last year as presiding elder his sermon in the evening was of the nature of a farewell. A number of persons united with the church. The usual overflow meeting was held in the morning, Rev. White preaching and music by C. E. choir. The Sunday school was well attended and received a visit from Mr. S. M. Ukomo of Rhodesia, South Africa, who spoke briefly on his native land. Mr. Lucas gave an excellent review of the lesson. The quarterly communion service was preached at the 3 o'clock hour by Rev. Robinson, pastor of St Mark's M. E. church. "Those who failed to attend the Allen C. E. Society missed a treat in not hearing Miss Violet Gertrude Harrison. Miss Harrison is a student of the Deaconess school and her remarks last Sunday were timely and well put. Chicago needs many more girls like her. This Sunday Miss Benie Willis will lead; topic, "Speak Not Evil One of Another." A visit from Bishop Lee is also expected. Bishop Lee is also expected to preach Sunday evening. May Do Good Work Unknowing May Do Good Work Unknowingly. Chemists show us that strange property, catalysis, which enables a substance while unaffected itself to incite to union elements around it. So a host or hostess who may know little of those concerned may, as a social switchboard, bring together the halves of pairs of scissors, men who become lifelong friends, men and women who marry and are happy husbands and wives. Those Good Old Times Bobby's grandfather often referred to the good old days when such commodities as meat, vegetables, fruit, etc., were grown and prepared at home. One day at dinner the mince pie was praised. "But I'll bet," declared the five-year-old boy loyally, "it's nothing like the pie that grandma used to make when she raised and picked her own minces; is it, grandma?" Difference In Failures A Denver capitalist said bitterly, apropos of a dishonest liquidation wherein he had been caught: "There are pessimists who say that marriage is a failure; but between a marriage and a failure there's this difference: the husband's name, while in a failure the husband takes the wife's name."

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Chants a Symphony in Golden Prose, Extolting the Singing Evangelizers of the Souls of White Folks One Afternoon In Vernon Avenue, When the Blistering Heat of a Day In June Was Forgotten. My Dear Defender: It was this way, and I beg of you a little space in which to relate it. All through the recent near weeks, commencing, say, about the time of the blooming of roses and the swarming of June brides and "sweet girl graduates," the sojourners and passers-by in the 32nd block of Vernon avenue, one of Chicago's select and spiked and span neighborhoods, have, during the fore and afternoons of each day and occasionally at the vaper hour, had their ears appealed to by a concord of divine sounds floating through the screened windows and doors of 3260, the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Carter, and much harmless wonder a speculation upon the part of the uninformed has been indulged thereto: who were this group of song birds, from whence did they hail and whitherward would they take their flight, their rehearsals over? Would their departure be westward, where the lapping waves of the Pacific, or towards India's coral strand, or, mayhap, they might not—rilling so愤utroiously—strike a be line for the soul Invisible, that a shining soul has rendered unwearied song service before Jehovah's ivory throne? I, being of the uninformed, and as curiosity is the parent of impertinence, the snooper in of other people's affairs, became busy as a bee before a bank of violets or sweet forget-menets, and was rewarded with the information, passed courteously by Mr. Silas Frazier, the active, associated head with Mr. W. R. Carter in the organization, proprietorship and direction of the "Virginians," that the rehearsals I was curious over were furnished alternately by the Carolina, Virginia and Georgia Jubilee Singers, incident to their annual engagements with the Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and Utah chauquaquets, and, continuing, "the Virginians" being selected for rehearsal this afternoon. I invite you to drop in and hear them." Did I drop in? I did. Did I hear them? I did; and although some days have passed, I am still hearing them, still filled with a melody, a flood of it, so moving, so sweet, so harmonious—as of one voice—so faultless in technic, so intelligent in conception, so clear in interpretation, that, while memory lasts I will continue to hear them. The torrid heat of the afternoon was forgotten. With "Uncle Jasper," through their masterly illumination, I felt that the "sun do move," and I knew that the appeal of the meek and supplicating, "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," was not breathed in vain; the power and majesty of the invocation, "Roll on Thou Golden Clouds," swept and subdued me, flowing at my feet was the rippling lullaby of "Shannon River," "Doubling Thomas" stood before me in flesh and blood, and "Old The Old Kentucky Home," crowned with trailing vines, and the dawn of mammy, "Jes Watin" for de Lawd, passed by in restful picture. But it was when, the "warblers," accompanied and inspired by Mr. Carter at the instrument, united in the "Peter, Go Ring Dem Bells," that the illusion of sense and imagination was complete. Mr. Carter possesses a delicate, caressing touch, and an ear of wonderful acuteness, and as the ladies and gentlemen encircling him swaded together in earnest, impassioned song, with that abandon of soul, that only the children of those races of the earth who have suffered display, Peter was in our very midst, and as he plucked the hell rope in compliance with the command given, the gratings of the cord oscillating up and down the beffry, struck up the senses with a most realistic vividness, while the reverberations of the bells, now near, now as returning from a far distance, hushed and awed the listener into a somnolent silence. In rapid rotation "My Cavalier," "Dear Old Erin," "Old Black Joe," "Throw Aw Dem Ole Mee," "Do, Lord, Let Us Cross," "Roll, Jordan, Roll," and "Billow Sea" were given, and then the rehearsal was over, the spell was broken. The ethereal ligaments of my hypnotized senses melted to airy nothings. It was indeed over, the rehearsal; but, ah, while it lasted, how glorious, how elfishly illusive, what a dispeller of the irritations that assail body and spirit, with the thermometer anywhere between ninety-seven and the death mark, it had been. Hence I repeat, while memory lasts I shall continue to hear these "Virginians," continue to fill with a melody, simple, sweet, touching, shining one second, with the corruptions of celestial realms; the next, dewy with the tears of mortals longing for the dawning of the great jubilee. In the moments of the great jubilee, these times of the drenching, the fumigating of the soul, the Carusos, the Melbas and Bones, those stately moving suns in music's loftiest realms, pass from our thoughts, for beyond the power to strum at will the innost chords of the heart, to light with a beautiful radiance the closed and darkened chambers of the soul, to lead gently to refreshing fountains and cool retreats the feverish and despairing spirit, the highest and greatest cannot go, for has it not been written "Song should breathe of scents and "Song should breathe of scents and flowers; Song should like a river flow; "Song should bring back scenes and hours That we loved, ah, long ago." Given the personnel of these bewitching "warbirds" I enclose it to the Defender: N. J. Washington, director; Mrs. Bertha Tyrus, accompanist; Eudora Fisher Lockett, soprano; Nolan Washington, first tenor; Joseph Miles, second tenor; Madame Corrine Brown, barton and heavy contralto; Sidney A. Williams, bass. A noted and well-balanced aggrexa tion, but beyond their artistic claims upon our esteem is a far greater one demanding attention. Macauley in a rhapsody of admiration said of the Puritans: "They were nobles by the right of an earlier creation, and priests by the imposition of a mightier hand than man's." So with these lyric spirits, these roaming Troubadors of ours, that make up the many jubilee groups of the day. Priests they are, and evangelists, and their credentials, streaked with blood, given them by no bishop of the church, but penned in centuries of suffering and injustice, reaching even to this day, is a sacred and holy commission, and it bears upon its face the approbation of Almighty God. Whenever and wherever the souls of white folk are moved by these bands of vocal pleaders, whenever and wherever the hearts of white folk are melted by the simple lays of these devoted Troubadours, whenever and wherever the vision of white folk is broadened out through the witchery of these flame-kissed lips, and made to feel, if but for a fleeting moment, that love and sympathy are beautiful, oh, so beautiful, the world's greatest and best forces, and that there must be a Fatherhood of God, and that there should be a brotherhood of mast, they, these wandering jubilee groups, will have wrought a great and mighty work, will have served the highest and the lowest of our people, you and I and the generations to follow on.

An interesting account of the prowess of the Dahomeyan Amazons, the female furies who fought the French during their struggle with the refractory King, Behanzin, is given by Mr. Frederic Martyn in his book, "Life in the Legion." The author, a former English officer, enlisted in the Foreign Legion of France and saw sharp fighting both in Tonkin and in Dahomey. "The turn of the Senegalese Tirilleleurs came next. A battalion of Amazons attacked them, and gave them a very rough time indeed, but the Tirilleleurs stood their ground until reinforced by some marine infantry. Any one who is inclined to sympathize with the Amazons on account of their sex can be assured that their sympathy is misplaced. Those young women were far and away the best "men" in the Dahomeyan army, and woman to man were quite a match for any of us. They were armed with Spencer repeating rifles, and made much better use of them than the men made of their carbines. For work at close quarters, they had a small, heavy-backed chopping sword, or knife, very much like a South American machete. "They fought like unchained demons, and if driven into a corner, did not disdain to use their teeth and nails. A marine infantryman seized and disarmed one of them in this fight, but she was so far from being beaten that she turned on her caper and began to bite his nose off. "The uniform of these female warriors was a sort of kilted divided skirt of blue cotton stuff. The garment barely reached to the knees. It was supported at the waist by a leather belt that carried the cartridge pouches. They were little or nothing above the waist, but on their heads they wore a coquettish red fez, or tarbosh, ornamented with an eagle's feather. These women were all exceedingly well developed, and some of them were handsome in their own way. "We of the Legion had a good opportunity of seeing them in action, and we were much impressed with their dash and gallantry."—Youth's Companion. GERMAN "KURS" NOT "CURES" Error of Translator Causes a Medicine's Value to Be Over-estimated. Many newspapers are hasty in announcing the discovery in Germany of some method of treatment more of less new, and not infrequently misinformation is given the public through the failure to keep in mind the actual meaning of one little word. The German word kur does not mean "cure," although it is not an uncommon thing to find it so translated into English. "To cure" in English means "to restore to health; to effect a cure," but in other languages it means merely to apply a "method of remedial treatment of disease; medical or hygienic care; method of medical treatment." The German word for "restoration to health" is heilung, not kur. The Latin word cura means merely "care," a shade of meaning which is preserved in the derived term "curator." An Italian physician was recently made to say, when his article was translated into English, "I cured ten typhoid patients last month and six of them died." What he really said was that he had treated ten patients.—From the Journal of the American Medical Association. Gladstone on Disraeli. G. A. Storey, A. R. A., records a touching incident he witnessed at the Academy banquet of 1831 in London, when a portrait for which Beaconsfield had sat to Millas shortly before his death was among the exhibits. "This unfinished work, pale and even ghastly, was in one of the side galleries. Gladstone, catching sight of the picture, went and stood in front of it. No one disturbed him. At the end of the feast Gladstone rose, and in the finest and most feeling tone, delivered a panegyric on the great man who had passed away. In a voice clear and sympathetic and full of emotion, he told us of his admiration for the sterling qualities of the man who, though opposed to him in politics, was in no other sense, an opponent. He spoke as only one generous in heart and of broad and great mind could speak of another great man who had passed away. The speech surpassed anything I ever heard."—London Chronicle.

A British scientist who has been making a study of laughter has prepared a list of things that happen when a person gives away to audible laughter. On each side of the throat, he explains, there is an artery called the carotid. At the level of the larynx this divides; one branch, which carries blood to the brain, is called the "internal;" the other, which performs the duty of distributing_blood to the face, is called the "external." These two branches are joined by the ophthalmic artery at about the level of the eyes, forming between the eyes a sort of canal. All this in turn brings the tears of laughter and makes literal the exclamation, "He laughed until he cried." It is this communication that is the cause of the close connection between the brain and the tear glands, and really the same in grief as in laughter, there being but little difference in the physical results between joy and sorrow. In reality laughter is not an easy thing. It results in a great, although involuntary, effort—an effort as great as though one were lifting a great weight—and in both cases the muscles of both the throat and stomach contract. Now, when laughter is very hearty, when it is actually excessive, the whole body is convulsed, and this means that every muscle is contracted. Here is where people "double up" with laughter. Whether it is laughter or crying, the same thing happens, if it is an excessive emotion—that is, the blood congestes the tear glands, and these glands overflow, forcing out the tears. UNUSUAL TYPE OF BRAVERY Not Many Husbands Would Undertake to Return Wife's Hat, Even Though He Needed Money. The bravest man in London made his appearance in a Regent street shop one day recently. He carried an enormous bandbox which contained an enormous hat, on which the man wanted what he considered an enormous amount of money refunded. The man was pretty mad, and, while looking for someone who had the authority to negotiate the transaction, he talked loud enough for everybody to hear. "My wife bought this hat," he said. "She doesn't need it. She has already bought three new hats. "She paid $32 for this one. She has never worn it. It just came home last night. I can't afford to throw all that money away, and I want you to take the hat back. She wouldn't bring it down, so I undertook the job myself."

He could not have done, it." -London Tit-Bits. Thinks Aged Must Deserve Respect Many people tell you that you must be respectful to older people, quits leaving out of the question whether or not they're worthy of respect. I've known some of the most obstinate, bad-mannered, unkind, unjust old peg people, whose faults were borne in silice because they were old. I've known a grandmother who would actually bribe her grandchildren to Hosby their mother, her daughter-in-law. I've known an old man who by his unceasing bullying and heckling unstintingly broke down the health of his who was carrying a heavy burden because but who might still be a weakman if his father had not literally worried him into sickness. In both these cases I hold that the respect of the daughter-in-law and the soe were misplaced, and that the old folks should not have been allowed to subject their kin to such ill treatment. Just being old is no guarantee of qualities worthy of respect.—Woman | Home Companion. Retorted Betty. Than He knew. A well-known idiot named Jamie Frazer surprised people sometimes by his replies. The members of one parish had for some time distressed the minister by their habit of sleeping in church. He had often endeavored to impress them with a sense of the impropriety of such conduct and one day Jamie was sitting in the front gallery wide awake, when many were slumbering around him, the clergyman endeavored to arouse the attention of his hearers by stating the fact, saying: "You see even Jamie Frazer, the idiot, does not fall asleep as so many of you are doing." Jamie, not liking, perhaps, to be designated, colly replied: "An' if I hadn't been an idiot I would have been sleeping', too." Progress Pald For in Human Life "The value of human life isn't supposed to be figured in cold dollars" said a builder, "but people don't generally know that in every big building erected in New York the price human life is a consideration" in the estimate. "In a building of so many stories and of a certain sort of construction the contractors figure that a few workmen will be killed and there will have to be settlement with the families. Maybe no architects or contractors would admit that this is true, but it's a fact nevertheless."—New York Sun. LOSS OF TOWN.

It is surprising what a difference a few cool days make in the attendance of a theater, and it might be added what a difference it makes, too, on the work of the performers. The Grand had an unusually large attendance for this time of year at both first and second performances. Ackerman and Dulmage seemed to do everything possible on cycles. Juhaza, whatever name that is did some things that Herrman the Great didn't do—mark you, we didn't say couldn't do—and got away with them very nicely. Carpens Brothers did some head balancing that deserved special commendation. Reed's buildings made nice pets, but they have been outclassed by previous acts of the same class shown at this house. Everybody knows where Miller and Lyles stand in the vaudeville world, so comment on the top-notchers is unnecessary. But let us get away from the stage a minute and say that the management is extremely fortunate in engaging such courteous attendants. You are met at the door by the house officer, Irwin E. Rayner, who handles the immense crowds in a gentlemanly, systematic manner that keeps even the waiting through in good humor. Inside you are met by either Miss Lillian White or Miss Beatrice Lee, two as polished and refined young ladies as one would care to meet, who guide you to your seat, and see that you are made comfortable. There is never any confusion; they know the house so well they could seat you in the dark. And it is well to bear in mind that the popularity of a theater depends as much on the courteous treatment shown by employees as it does the performance. So we repeat the management is to be congratulated upon securing the services of these three. Joe Jordan and Bud Joiner leave the "Windy City" every now and then and do the neighboring towns. Joe says you can spend that country money just the same as you can the city money. Their act is making good. The new theater at Thirty-fifth and State streets opens its doors for the first time Monday, and the management promises a roaring good bill. It is centrally located and doubtless will come in for its share of the patronage. Musical and Dramatic.

Drake school, where she was to have had the honor of playing the march for her classmates, but instead at the very hour of the exercises she was taken to the operating table in the St. Luke's Hospital. She was attacked with pain after 1 o'clock Friday morning. Her mother applied the usual home remedies until 7 o'clock without any effect. At 8 o'clock. Dr. Daniel H. Williams was called and after an examination directed that Miss Jessica be removed at once to St. Luke's Hospital. Dr. Williams operated at 10 o'clock and found the appendix in an advanced state of decomposition. A large date stone had lodged in the appendix, which had produced the symptoms which endangered her life. Since the operation Miss Jessica has made a prompt and favorable convalescence and will return home during the next week. Mrs. Anderson, a devoted mother, has been constantly at her bedside. As we go to press, united with a host of friends we congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Anderson and the family that the sunshine of their heart and household was spared to them. Miss Jessica was removed home Saturday afternoon and is still improving. Better Than Silence. Silence is golden unless your ally swear will make people laugh. MME. ANITA PATTI BROWN, RETURNS Our Own Globe-Trotting Prima Donna Returned Today from the World's Only Annual Colored Music Festival, Held in Atlanta, Ga., July 3 and 4. TO RETURN SOUTH BY REQUEST A Bunch of American Beauties Was Handed to the Madame, With a Note, July 4, with a Request to Sing "The Last Rose of Summer." Accompanied by the Following Verse. "When Patti sang the rose leaves Fell quivering to the ground. My angels must have listened To the low and plaintive sound That came drifting, drifting to me And fell upon my ears Like snowflakes to music And then melting into tears." Mme. Brown arrived home today after appearing in a number of splendid musicals. The first was in Cincinnati for the N. A. A. C. P., under the direction of the Hon. M. C. B. Mason. The next was in Bristol, Va., where she sang to a crowded house in which there were one hundred whites present, who promptly requested that she return and give a recital for the white people in the opera house. She then proceeded to Atlanta, where long before her arrival the citizens were reading most excellent comment of her coming, among which appeared the following: "As the patrons of grand opera look annually for Caruso, so our patrons look for Patti Brown. Some of our white patrons pronounce her the greatest living singer. There is a sympathy in her tones not reached by a singer of any other race." The Atlanta Constitution of June 29 said: "The officers of the association believe that they have secured this year the very best group of colored singers ever brought to the city. The most popular among these is Anita Patti Brown of Chicago, who has proved such a popular attraction that she has been secured every year of its existence save the first." Decatur, Ale., was the next point, where, after the graduating exercises for the nurses of the Cottage Home and, Infirmary Hospital under the direction of the chief surgeon, Dr. Willis E. Sterrs, a splendid musical program was arranged as a befitting climax on Tuesday, July 8, with Mme. Brown as star of the evening. PAUL LAWRENCE DUNBAR ME MORIAL. The Paul Lawrence Dunbar memorial which was held Sunday afternoon, June 29, at the Institutional church, under the management of Julius N. Avendorph, proved as usual a delightful as well as interesting affair, notwithstanding the intensity of the heat. The church was about half full. The invocation was offered by Rev. A. J. Carey, which was followed by an able address by Prof. Mordecia W. Johnson, of the Attanta Baptist College of Atlanta, Ga. The professor showed his close observation of the man as well as his works in his comparison of Dunbar's Literary and Dialect poetry. There was many phases of Dunbar's life pictured by Prof. Johnson, that was entirely new to the average person. Mr. Avendorph contemplates changing the date of the memorials from the summer season to fall, which would be no doubt very acceptable to the public. Mrs. Marie Burton Hyrum and Mr. Harrison Emanuel rendered solos and Miss Ada Lou Mitchell was at the plano. The H. B. Club. The H. B. Club met at the residence of Mrs. Suggs, 3748 Wabash avenue, Saturday afternoon, to play progressive whist. The highest score was won by Mrs. Sue Johnson.

Priestly. The funeral of Rev. Horace S. Graves was a most imposing demonstration, of good will and pastoral ability. The floral display was abundant, gates ajar and a large anchor being among the prettiest. After the rendering of the opening hymn, entitled "Servant of Christ, Well Done," by the choir, prayer was said. Bible reading came next. Then "Asleep in Jesus" was most exquisitely sung by the choir. A beautiful solo, "Ask It All," and quartette selection brought us to the sermon by Bishop Lee. Resolutions of respect and esteem were read from the board of trustees, meeting of the congregation, teachers of the Sunday school, ladies of the Missionary Board, Board of Deaconesses, Christian Endeavor, and A.
