Tuskegee Band Enlivens Chicago --- ```markdown ``` 1. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` --- VOLUME VIII. NUMBER 29. Tuske Mrs. Cooper and a party of friends were on a North Clark street car en route to Lincoln Park, when the motorman suddenly stopped the car and all of the passengers fell forward. Mrs. Cooper, being in the front of the car, was pushed through the swinging door. Her weight broke the glass in the door, and she received a severe cut on her left arm and dislocated a bone in the wrist of her right arm. She fell and was trampled on by some of the passengers and was injured internally. She was hurried home and is under the care of Dr. Holmes, Sixty-first and Normal avenue. Since the accident Mr. Opal Cooper has been the nurse, cook, dishwasher and general housekeeper. When asked by a Chicago Defender reporter how he liked his new position, he said: "It is not quite as easy as singing tenor." "CONFESSES MURDER—John Light, alias James Bradshaw, arrested Monday, after the murder of Judge Haven of Dyburgh in Sheriff P. J. King from that town. The prisoner who then broke down and entered the prison, was taken back to Tongnesse, by the shelter, and a reward of $200 is due the jailer, and who arrested him."—Daily Press. Nothing is said about the limits of the law. Extradition is not mentioned a single time. The above paragraph intended for news is magnified into persecution and infamous excuses. It reads like an advertisement in the 50's for a runaway slave. Hold! Stop! Now, here is the great state of illinois. Don't forget that. Nothing like that goes. The Negro race will not for a minute countenance such unfair taking off of any Negro that comes within her domain. This is where Lincoln lived. Logan, Grant, Yates and all such built up the courts of justice for the protection of mankind, and it will not bow to little peanut politicians and detectives. The law must be lived up to and, by the blood of Douglass, the Negro voter will look into this fiasco of justice. Did not the officers of the law in Chicago realize what a sad plight any Negro would be in on a train going south, who stood accused of killing a white judge of a court? Did they care what might happen to the poor, helpless creature? In the very face of all the deviltry and contemptibility of the white people north and south, we seem to incubate a peculiar specimen of Negro that smiles, grins, and acts a monkey, instead of being men and women, contending and defending their rights, privileges and immunities just in the same proportion as any other people under the sun. Only very recently a Negro named Robert Burns died here in Chicago, leaving a $500 insurance policy to a white man named Sol Goldstein. --- A Feariess HONEST CHAMPION of the People 1863—FORT WAGNER ANNIVERSARY—1913 July 18 Celebrated in Boston— Both Races Honor the Dead and Remaining Few That Are Living—Bay State Refuses to Let Her Heroes Go by Forgotten—Boston Is Still Patriotic. SON OF OFFICER TROTTER CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE "The Battle of Liberty Is Won; the Battle of Equality Is Pending. There Is No Equality in Separation."—Slogan. Assault on Strongest Single Earthwork on Our Earth Remembered. By Frank A. Young. Special to the Chicago Defender. Today Boston and its patriotic spirit prevailed again when her citizens turned out en masse to honor those few brave heroes who remain of the 54th and 55th Massachusetts Volunteers and to praise those who gave their lives that freedom might be gained. The Cause. With the country taking an interest in elaborate celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the battles of Vicksburg and Gettysburg to the south of us, Boston and Massachusetts intend that the semi-centennial of an equally pivotal battle in one sense, that of Fort Wagner, shall not be neglected. The valorous deeds of the colored soldiers and the white soldiers of the brave 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment shall not be forgotten. They will be noted, too, in the true spirit of the cause the soldiers represented and with respect for the principles which they espoused. There was no raising of the stars and bars under which soldiers went out to war to destroy the United States and to perpetuate slavery. The spirit of the celebration was that of freedom and equality in all things for the class of Americans whose liberty and equality were won by that war and are now being abridged. The vast throng that gathered to hear the exercises proved to the world that they were possessed of a high sense of racial honor and pride. Decorate Andrew's Statue. The celebration of the 50th anniversary of Fort Wagner began by placing a wreath on the statue of John A. Andrew, Center street, Jamaica Plain, at 9 a. m., John A. Andrew square. The wreath was given by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Wilkerson. Andrew was the great war governor who enlisted in the 51st and 55th and who said that in selecting officers for other regiments he was often forced to take men who were sometimes rough and not cultivated, but that those who assumed charge of those noble men must be eminently gentle men. Rev. Norman Speaks. The first session of the semi-centennial was a reunion of the survivors of the bloody battle and other soldiers of the race and was held in the historic Paneuil Hall in the morning. The veterans were greeted by Lrs. Dupree and Andrews. Exercises were held opposite the Shaw monument on Beacon street at 2:30. The Rev. Henry Norman made a great speech that aroused enthusiasm. A chorus of young singers sang "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "John Brown's Body," Mrs. McGill singing the solo part. Mr. J. S. Jones rendered "The Old Flag that Never Touched the Ground, Boys," by Cole and Johnson, and a semi-chorus sang "There Will Be a Vacant Chair." Evening Session. The evening session was also held in the great historic hall and Mr. Wm. Munroe Trotter presided. Mr. Trotter is the son of the late Lieut. James M. Trotter of the great and honorable regiment, the 55th Mass. Mr. Trotter broke forth in one of the greatest 'lights of oratory that has ever been heard in this city. Again the choir sang and Prof. Wm. E. Lew of Sam' MR. JENKS PASSES THROUGH CHICAGO Mr. O. M. Jenks of Kansas City, Mo., in charge of the private car of the Ringling Brothers was in the city this week looking after his divorce case. Mrs. Jenks, his wife, has filed a suit for divorce some months ago. Mr. Jenks refused to be interviewed but from one of his friends it was learned that as soon as the case is settled Mr. Jenks would announce his engagement. The Chicago Defender. NOTED TENOR NURSES MOTHER. Mrs. Ellen Cooper, Injured In Street Car Accident, Is Tenderly Nursed by Son. Mrs. Ellen Cooper of 6014 Normal avenue, mother of Mr. Opal D. Cooper, "The Robust Tenor," is confined to her home, suffering from injuries received in a street car accident last Thursday. DAILY NEWSPAPERS MAGNIFY FACTS ABOUT RACE Alleged Confession of John Light —Spirited Off to Tennessee —No Protection Under Let Us Live Up to the Law. Who said these officers of Tennes- could come into Illinois and take job ONLY ONE GIRL LEFT. Last Monday there were several picnics and all the girls employed by the Overton Hygienic Co. manufacturers of the famous High Brown face powder, took the day off except Miss Lillie Gilliam. The proprietor was surprised when he arrived at his office in the morning to find no one but Miss Gilliam there. They prefer pleasure to honest employment, he told a Chicago Defender reporter. And yet everyone complains about the business men of the race not giving employment to his own people. KING'S DAUGHTERS PICNIC. The King's Daughters No. 1 gave their annual picnic for poor children at Jackson Park. Mrs. Alice Hampton, Mrs. A. J. Evans, Mrs. A. M. Black and Mrs. M. E. Bowman were the committee in charge. The children spent most of the day in the German building. Among the good things enjoyed was eight gallons of mills which is donated annually by Snyder Wanzer & Sons, the 30th St. datrymen. CHICAGO, IL., SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1913. HAMPTON GRADUATES ORGANIZE IN CHICAGO Meet at the Appomattox Club Sunday and Form a Strong Organization—Membership Made Up of Prominent Men and Women of Chicago. R. S. ABBOTT ELECTED FIRST PRESIDENT To Attend Tuskegee Band Concert in a Body—Manager of Band a Hampton Graduate—The List of Officers—The Net Meeting—President Hamilton Makes Graduates Welcome. Pursuant to a call issued by Mr. R. S. Abbott, publisher and editor of the Chicago Defender, a large number of graduates of Hampton Institute gathered at the Appomatto Club Sunday afternoon and formed themselves into an organization. The primary object was to greet Prof. N. Clark Smith and th famous Tuskegee Institute Band when it arrived in the city on Thursday and to attend the concert in a body. This was soon decided, but a permanent society was formed which will meet again on Sunday, July 27th. The Officers. The officers elected were as follows: President, Mr. Chester Gains. Correspondent Secretary, Mr. Howard Weston. Sergeant-at-arms, Mr. Clifford Atkins. The net meeting will be held at the club house Sunday afternoon, July 27th. President Hamilton's Welcome. Mr. Frank Hamilton, president of the Appomattoj Club, made the visitors welcome. He spoke in part as follows: "I am glad to be here and as the official head o f the Appomattoj Club, to welcome the alumni of Hampton College to the quarters of this institution. "To have had an identity with Hampton College is an honor and privilege of which any man may justly feel proud. It was the pioneer school for industrial education, and today it is recognized as one of the foremost of its kind in the world. "When General Armstrong threw open its doors for the especial accommodation of Indians and Negroes nearly a half century ago it was thought that from its portals would come one of the foremost citizens of the country. The proud distinction of being the alma mater of Booker T. Washington belongs to Hampton, and no one will deny that in the nation counts one of its most progressive and useful citizens. Hampton Graduates Good Citizens. "I congratulate this body for its adherence to the principles grounded in you at Hampton, and like countless others I believe that whenever a Hampton student may be found there also will be found a useful and constructive citizen. You are thrice welcome here, and may your usefulness continue unabated for the woof and weal of the Negro people everywhere, ST. PAUL BELLES IN CITY. Miss Olga Wilson, June graduate of grammar school, sweet singer and numbered among the best dancers, as well as one of the finest pastry cooks ever graduated and the young miss who lead her class of over 150, of which 135 were white, and got the highest honors for schoolship, is the guest of her aunt, Miss C. Williams, 33d st. and Vernon ave. Miss Olga says she hopes to enter high school this fall, and cover the 4 years' course in 3½ years and take a course in domestic science, as she wants to teach in the city schools. Accompanying her, as a companion, is Miss Edythella Adams, daughter of J. Q. Adams, who is the guest of Mrs. D. P. French, 3386 Calumet ave. OVER ON THE WEST SIDE. Miss Mabel Tucker of 1949 Fulton street was married to Mr. George Levels. Both parties were well thought of. Their many friends wish them success. HERE'S A WAY.

TEACHERS SEEK MORE KNOWLEDGE DURING VACATION. Ambitious Student-Teachers Crowd the Large Universities--Eager to Learn and Travel Far One of the most interesting features of mid-major activities is the pilgrimage of teachers and students to the big university of the country, like the Chicago, Columbian, Ann Arbor, Yale, Howard and others. It is delightful to witness the earnestness and enthusiasm of these young colored men and women who pursue the cause of higher education so eagerly. In the singleness of purpose which these young people show we can gain some suggestion of how seriously they regard the cause of culture. Thousands Eager to Learn. Most of us can remember when this group of teachers, and students on culture bent were few and timid. Now thousands come and throng the halls of every university, and college that has something good to offer in the nature of a more thorough educational training. It is only the best universities that open wide their doors to these ambitious student-teachers. The movement is so increasingly large and democratic in spirit that the color line is lost sight of. They are the vanguard of a new generation that is coming to give us a new democracy in which there will be more soul, more brotherhood and sisterhood. Certainly there is nothing more creditable to the race than this untiring effort of our young people to thoroughly equip themselves for the highest possible calling. All Are Not on Pleasure Bent. Chicago should do its utmost to make these visiting students and teachers welcome. It is by these young men and women that our progress is, and is to be, measured. They give importance to every item of our advancement. They constitute an aristocracy of character and culture. They point the way to the finer things that are yet to come, because it gives assurance that all of our young people are not on pleasure. The Frederick Douglas Center has for several seasons graciously acted as host to these visiting student-teachers, affording them the opportunity for social converse and the privilege of being addressed by distinguished men and women of both races. HAMPTON'S INFLUENCE FOR GOOD Sydney Dodd Frissell Tells of the Work of the Institution—Hampton Graduates Dot the World. At Hampton Institute, in Virginia, Negro boys and girls, young men and young women, learn by doing. The institute, now forty-five years old, has a record of which all who have aided in its upholding may well be proud. Discussing In the Survey some of the effects it has had upon Negro life in the South, Sydney Dodd Frissell writes: "The South is an open field for the tradesmen and farmers trained at Hampton. More than 80 per cent of the tradesmen graduated from the school are engaged in trade work. The complete training as carpenters, brick-layers, blacksmiths or machinists assures Hampton men a place in southern communities and leadership among other people. "Many Hampton tradesmen have taken places in the industrial training of their race by directing the trade training of other Negro schools. It is significant that more than a hundred tradesmen and teachers have, gone from the parent school to help Booker Washington at Tuskegee alone. Fully 50 per cent of the Negro boys from the Hampton shops go out to teach others trades. "The success of Negro tradesmen in the competition of modern life in the South is no less striking and important than the teaching of trades to others. In Birmingham, Atlanta, Richmond, Norfolk and Danville Negro graduates of Hampton have become successful contractors. "The worth of the training of a trade student is evidenced by the recognition his work receives after graduation. When in a position of trust and responsibility as an employer of other workers he may give valuable aid to members of his race who lack his advantages but are striving for a chance. "There is a graduate in Atlanta, Ga., who as a contractor has won the confidence of the people. He has the reputation of doing high class work, equal to that of any contractor in the city. By employing a group of Negro mechanics, whom he holds to a high standard, he proves that the Negro can do other than the rougher and cheaper work. The value of such a man to his race cannot be estimated." —Chicago Daily News. Very often it is true that a man is out of work because he is out of ambition.—W. Baston. WHITE MAN IN SULTS WOMAN IN MERIT THEATER Slonaker, a White Operator from Mississippi, Grabs Woman's Breast in Public and Becomes Insulting When Arrested. HAS A RIGHT TO DO AS HE PLEASES WITH WOMEN OF THE RACE Husband Threatens to Kill Him, but His Friends Persuade Him to Have the Rowdy Arrested—Fined $25 and Costs in Court. One Slonaker, a white man hailing from Mississippi and employed at the Merit Theater, 35th and State street, as a moving picture operator, ran amuck in that place on Wednesday when he deliberately grabbed Mrs. Barr by the breast. The lady shouted, and attempted to hit the brute, and only the cooler heads in the crowd prevented Slonaker from being roughly handled. He took advantage of the indig...ion of the men and women of both races and fled. Mrs. Barr went home immediately and informed her husband, whose wrath was so great that he wanted to kill the insulting rascal. But he was persuaded to have him arrested, which he did. When arrested Slonaker became abusive. He said "down home" he could do as he pleased with any "woman of color," but he evidently learned that Chicago was not Mississippi when he was fined $25 and costs in the Thirty-fifth and Halsted streets court the next day. The Chicago Defender calls upon the men and women in Chicago to demand the management of the Merit Theater out this devil at once. There have been several cases lately where in our "women" have been insulted in public places, and this barbarous practice must cease in Chicago. So revolting was the Slonaker,case that both the white and black men present declared to protest and fight against insults against womanhood, no matter what the color of their skin. THOMAS WALLACE SWANN ENTERTAINS AT "CARTER VILLA." A few friends of Mr. Thomas Wallace Swann, the secretary to the Illinois Commission Half-Century Anniversary of Negro Freedom, were delightfully entertained at Carter Villa, 3246 Rhodes avenue, on last Sunday afternoon and evening in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Clapman of Philadelphia, en route to California en tour. A delightful six course dinner was served by that efficient cateress, Mrs. S. J. Carter. Those present were the Claphanus, guests of honor; Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Eaves, Mr. and Mrs. John Coleman, Mr. and Mrs. S. A. T. Watkins, Mr. and Mrs. J. Gray Lucas, Dr. and Mrs. Geo. C. Hall, Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Ponder, Mrs. John Poston, Mrs. Bowser of Philadelphia, Miss Mary Bowser, Miss Elise Carey, Miss Blossom Barton of Springfield, Ill.; Mr. Charles Alexander of Los Angeles, Cal.; Lieut. Thomas R. Thompson of the 8th Regt., I. N. G., and Mrs. Bunn. ST. THOMAS' EXCURSION. The annual excursion of St. Thomas' Guild and Sunday School, given on Monday, July 14, to Glenwood Park, was a grand success in point of numbers and the class of patrons. So well established is the character of the annual outing of this church that even the very threatening weather did not deter those who had decided to attend from doing so. If one had not known that it was an occasion when each pays his fare, the impression might have been formed that it was a huge social gathering of congenial families, invited by some distinguished host for a day's pleasure at his summer home. For the annual moonlight boat excursion to be given by the members of this same church, see advertisement in another column of this paper. WOMEN ENTERTAIN MAJOR JACKSON The Apha Suffrage Club gave a reception in honor of Major R. R. Jackson, whose vote at Springfield helped to give women their political rights, Wednesday evening, July 16, at the reading room, 2830 State street. Short addresses were made by Mesdames Antoinette Funk, Katherine Waugh McCulloch, and Medill McCormick Music was by the Ladies' Baud of Chicago. Mrs. I. B. W. Barnett is president of the club.

Visitors and friends are most cordially invited—Mrs. Susie Newton, president. GEORGE THOMPSON DID NOT BETRAY EMMA HANSON Mother-in-Law Testifies Against Him—United States Is Holding Him for Violation of the "Mann Act." Meta Ferrin Case as a Contract. "TESTIFIES AGAINST THOMPSON—Mrs. Marie Hanson, 3355 Wentworth avenue, mother of Emma Hanson, the 35-year-old white girl who was married in January 1940, against the defendant yesterday in the courtroom of Federal Judge Geiger. 'After she thought she was going to be happy, she cried and said, "No." testified Hanson. 'Her leaving him and the annulled marriage was of her own wish.'" "Daily Paper." "Justice has fled to bristish beasts and men have lost their reason." Question 1: Would George Thompson be now in the court grueling process if he had married a 15-year-old colored girl? Question 2: Would George Thompson, if he had been a white man, suffer the microscopic gaze of Caucasian infamy shrouded in the panoply of justice? Question 3: Would anybody be very greatly stirred, no matter what color, she, the wife, or the husband, if George Thompson had a good loose wad of fellowship paper to use carelessly? But what's the use? Poor little Meta Ferrin suffered, bore her child for the white flend who betrayed her on a sick bed. No one to marry, to cover up the shame that must be bourn her whole life. No federal court to throw its strong arm around her and to protect her. She was a colored girl Emma Hanson, although the wife of a Negro, is white, and the federal court is fomenting and fuming. George Thompson would not betray Emma Hanson. He took her out of the state to marry her. That is the Negro's way. The usual Caucasian way is to traduce honor, destroy character, and to neglect the woman and dispute the child's parentage. The United States is holding George Thompson for violating the Mann act. What the devil is the matter with this civilization, and to what base usage is it interpreting law that frees a white man and imprison a Negro? CHARMING YOUNG MISS ENTERTAINS Miss Arnell M. Hardaway was given a party by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Hardaway, 5127 Wabash avenue, Friday, July 11. The party was in honor of two of Miss Hardaway's friends who have recently graduated from school, Miss Helen N. Hughes of Englewood H. S. and Mr. Wyatt J. Houston of Wendell Phillips H. S. There were 26 other young folks present and all had a delightful time. Miss Margaret A. Bonds assisted in receiving and Mr. Henry Barber of the Peerless Club acted as toastmaster. DOINGS IN OSHKOSH, WIS. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Oshkosh, Wls., Wls. 18—Jrs. Mei. Beil Netta's baby boy was buried July 12 after a long illness. Rev. Clavonton of A. M. E. Zion Mission officiated. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Baylor, recently of Milwaukee, entertained at their new home here Monday evening. The reception was grand and the refreshments were delicious.

Ell the shoe shiner will do the rest. THE WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PRICE 5 CENTS cago CROWD ARMORY TO HEAR THE FAMOUS BAND Aggregation of Musicians from Tuskegee Win Ovation in Chicago—Serenade Daily Newspapers—Thousands Gather at Seventh Regiment Armory. TUSKEGEE CLUB AS HOSTS Affair a Grand Mid-Summer Musical Festival, Reception and Dance—Program a Choice One—The Dance Enjoyed by Many. The Tuskegee Institute Band came to town. The Tuskegee Institute Band left, but the echo of their triumphant entry will long remain. They arrived in the early morning over the Monon railroad. There was no parade, but the ever alert newspaper men piloted them to their various offices, where they serenaded to their hearts' content. No daily newspaper was slighted—then they came south, but the time was late and the expected parade was abandoned. Later, however, the band appeared as per schedule at the Seventh Regiment Armory. The musical program was fine. Prof. N. Clark Smith outdid himself in directing a program so excellent and varied. It was a day of music for Chicago—a day long to be remembered, for never before has so many people gathered at the Seventh Armory. You could not move around the galleries; you could not dance with comfort. Let's have a larger hall. The ladies looked their best—the latest ideas in dress and hair work being most prominent. The merry waltz enlivened, the band played on and thousands enjoyed the time of their lives. The Tuskegee Club, the hosts, looked proud on; as ushers and floor managers—they were unexcelled. Prof. N. Clark Smith. Prof. Smith was "at home," to quote his exact words, and he directed his immaculate and competent band in a manner more like Creature or Sousa. The concert was the feature of the evening, as many left when that part was over. The Crowd. Never has the Seventh Armory held such a crowd. Every seat was filled and the floor crowded, and it is safe to say that nowhere will the Tuskegee band receive the reception as they did when Prof. N. Clark Smith brought them to Chicago, his former home. DEATH OF MRS. SAUL BUFORD. Many friends in the city will be pained to learn of the death of Mrs. Mattie Buford of 3251 state street. Mrs. Buford died June 17, 1923, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Hughes at Franklin, Tenn. Mrs. Buford had been ill for some time and had spent most of her time last year at Rhea Springs, Tenn., in search of health. She improved, but on returning home she commenced to fall again. She returned south and took up her abode with Mrs. Hughes until the final summons. Mrs. Buford was formerly Miss Mattle Maxwell of Pittsburg, Tenn., where a number of friends and relatives survive her. After her marriage to Mr. Saul Buford they moved to Chicago, where they spent ten happy years. Mr. Buford spared no palms or money in giving her all that would comfort her during her illness. Her remains were placed in Mt. Olivet cemetery, after which Mr. Buford returned to his home in Chicago. Origin of the Name "Manhattan." It is gravely given as an historical fact that Petal Minuk and his company bought all of Manhattan island for the sum of $24 after having reduced the owners to a state of intoxication. It is also stated as true that the Indians after that bit of costly debauchery, gave to the island the name of Manhattan, which it is said was Indian for "the island of blissful intoxication." Evidently Knew His Townmen. A somewhat personal reference was that of an old Lanarkshire minister who read out for his text the verse in the psalms, "I said in my haste, 'all men are liars;'" and then proceeded to give his sermon in the form of an apostrophe, thus: "Av ye said it in your haste, 'we had lived in this parish, 'we said it at your leisure." Irate Patron—"I thought this rail road was for the benefit of the public." Railroad Official—"You're away off. The public is for the benefit of the railroad." BLACK JEWS BLACK IRISHMEN BLACK DUTCHMEN David Ben Itzchok, the Black Jew Leads to an Animated and Analytical Discussion of Black and White—There Is no Difference in a Black Dog or a White Dog, a Black Cat or a White Cat—Color Is No Indication of Superiority—Different Shades Simply a Blending of Colors. --- TO WHITE The Colony of Black Jews in the Heart of Abysinia—They Emigrated from Jerusalem Under the Leadership of the First Menelik, Who Was the Son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba—No Doubt of Their Origin—A Pen Picture of the Famous Traveler. By Dr. M. A. Majors. Just in the same sense that an Octoroon, educated, refined and civilized, is a white person, so is D. Ben Itzchok a Jew in spite of the difference of color. He has all the language, manners, characteristics and customs—religious, too—and of a very far-reaching variety. This recent revelation to Europe and America that there are black Jews, just as there are white Negroes, need not startle nor surprise. It more than anything else tells the scholar even that we know very little. We do know some few things about each other. The color line! What awful spectre is this? When. we begin to analyze colors we find that the different shades or blends are simply mixtures of more or less of some one other color. What is there about a blackberry to make it hideous (there is a white blackberry), a black horse, a black dog, a black cat, a black suit of clothes? Black is the opposite of white. What makes black black, and white white? Neither is the result of a combination of colors. Each is an original color. Both are equal. Is the Devil Black? What is it that makes people think the devil is black, and all the good and great white? Europe and America have struggled hard to accomplish the one big thing: That is to discredit the conduct of Hannibal crisping the white man's hair of southern Europe. He did stamp the Congo kisses on the fair brows, of their maledins, while shrieks and hisses blended with the semi-savage songs they'd sing. Spain, Italy, Austria, Portugal and Sicily yet tell by swarthy, complexion that Carthage threatened all Europe with an African capital. But there is too much noise made about color, and too little about being nible, great and good. A white goat, a white cat, a white rat, or a white man, or a white anything is not one whit better by reason of being white than a black goat, a black cat, a black rat, or a black man; and why should there be? The great God did not prevent the very Jews who deny David Ben Izhchok, from persecuting and crucifying Jesus of Nazareth. Black Swedes, Black Irish. Although David Ben Hitzsch is a black man, partially resembling the African in type, and more of the Jew by custom and habits as well as tradition, he is one of the most illuminating characters it has been the pleasure of decent citizens everywhere to meet. No scholar can keep up with him in history—ancient, of course. No linguist can cope with him, for he speaks twelve languages. No priest can hold a candle for him because he is better educated than any one he has met since he left Abyssinia. This all tells the American heart that his civilization is frothing and slobbering at the mouth. It is telling the Negro that we have the black Swede, the black Irish, the black Dutchman, the black Spaniard, the black Greek, the black everything in this big world. David Ben Izchok will bring no reproach upon himself for being black. He is a gentleman, a 'Christian,' a scholar, and, above all, a man untrammeled by anything save his condition. The Chicago Tribune of July 6 had very much to say in its bewilderment. It told the truth, and every word of it is in behalf of the black Jew, Itzchok: A few men turned to the Jewish encyclopedia and turned to Samuel the documentation of the story of David Ben Izchok that he is a Jew and is a member of a Jewish family. He himself, who dwell in the heart of Abyssinia and swear allegiance to King Menelik. According to the Jewish encyclopedia, the members of this colony are known as the Abyssinians, and they are called the Abyssinians emigrants. According to tradition, these Jews emigrated from the first Merkelin, who was the son of John the monk and the Queen of Sheba. For a long time, the Red Sea, withdrawing later to the interior of the country. There they settled themselves to the making of pottery. Another tradition, according to the Jewish encyclopedia, these black Jews of Abyssinia to be called the Shimaneer or of Jews driven from Judah when Jerusalem was destroyed in the Sixth Century, to receive history shows that the Abyssinian Jews migrated from Palestine at a different oriental conquerors of the land. All authorities, however, agree that the Abyssinian Jews are Jews who have remained true to their culture, spite intermixture with their Ethiopian mimmun. Pictures in the Jewish encyclopedia of the Abyssinian Jews show them to be of the same features as David Ben Itzchak, convinced the more learned Jews in Chicago that the newcomer from Abyssinia must be a Jew. David Can't Believe it. But in spite of the conviction on the part of a few Jews, who are well read in Hebrew, David Can't believe Itzchak is a Jew, the great mass of people in the ghetto cannot bring themselves to the race. David Can't be a member of their race. David Can't be David the son of Isaac, as the words really mean in Hebrew, is greatly disgusted by the Jews, as he calls the European Jews, to come to his colony in Abyssinia and give them the same culture, so that he would have received a much warmer home, and would have been given a chance to earn his living more quickly. When David Ben扎祴 returns to his native town of Massouva, as he calls it, he learns that he is not the only person in the story of adventure which to the inhabitants there will sound much the same as the adventures of Gulliver do to us. He learns that the greatest disappointment is "it is here that I am made with the greatest disappointment. I never expected that I would be mistaken here for a Jew in the world." In Absyssina my wife gave me books to read showing that there are Jews in Israel and that I am in the world of the world change their color and features in accord with the Jewish presence there. But that does not make them anything else. They remain Jew all the time, the Jews here do not seem to know it. When Christ Comes Again. It is predicted that when Christ makes his second appearance upon earth that He will come in the color of the African. Who knows? But what of it? It is then that a whole world will suffer disappointment. They have set their hearts upon white and shiny things, and to some good hearts shiny things resemble sin. The Devil Race. The color of anybody should not make him either a salant or a devil. Read daily any of the morning papers if you wish to know who comprises the devil race. Negroes have not been charged with perpetuating a red light district where, under the spell of music and whisky, women devote the bodies God intended to be pure to lust, money-making and blackening the very name of humanity by every infernal form of harlotry. Men, maddened by a fendish lust for gold, sell little white girls to the greedy maw of this incarnate and devilish infamy. So-called civilized citizens recreate at the demon beast of a nude dance—exhibitions of such huge and ugly dimensions that bring the blush of shame to the very human rats that supply such orgues. Unholy horrors that even the African savage would not allow in his wildest jungle, carried on here within two miles of a temple erected to Frances E. Willard, and within two blocks of a half hundred chifres. This is the kind of white civilization that disowns a man's nationality by accident of color. A Word of Advice to the American Jew. The infamy of such a thought! Because a man is black he therefore, regardless of tradition, history, custom, blood and all that, is disowned by his countrymen. The American Jew, whose vast fortunes are piling up to huge dimensions, will find that the American Negro will rise up to repudiate his action by trading with others, and more often hereafter with business men of his own race. What he should do. This David Ben Itzhok will prove to be to the American Negro an awakener. There will be other things occasionally to shock him and arouse him from his sloven, sloven dulness to a sober sensibility, and although the Negro is forgetful and doggedly religious, yet forgiving, he will be made to remember some serious lessons that he is yet to get ere he passes out of the primary grade of his racial status in the land of the Stars and Stripes, and where they burst their throats singing America. World Beyond Our Ken There are noises louder than thunder which we cannot hear, the roar that lies on the other side of silence. We men are poor, restless prisoners, hemmed in by our senses as by the wall of a cell, hearing only a part of Nature's orchestra and that part imperfectly; seeing only a thousandth part of the color marvels about us and seeing that infinitesimal part incorrectly and partially—From "Unpathed Waters," by Frank Harris. Worth Framing. Here is a "character" given to a servant on leaving her last situation: "The bearer has been in my house a year, less 11 months. During this time she has shown herself diligent at the house door, frugal in work, mindful of herself, prompt in excuses, friendly towards men, faithful to her lovers, and honest when everything was out of the way."—London Tit-Bits, Easy Question to Answer "Do you know what will happen if you tell a lie?" was asked a boy witness in an English court. "Yes, I shall tell a lie." was his answer. Just "Between-You and I." She—Why, her and me were the best of friends before him and her met. OF course, this is between you and me.—London Punch. Exception. A Young Thing is fairly certain to think she knows more than her mother about everything but the kitchen work—Atchison Globe. Many Such. In addition to his enemies and his friends, the wise man has a list that he labels mentally: "Impossible to classify." Marked. Mother—“Don't cry, dear.

Miss Georgia Lewis of 1349 West 61st street is still very sick. Mrs. Carter of 1346 West 61st street is better; also Mrs. Shaw of the same address is better. Mrs. Ellen Cooper of 6014 Normal boulevard met with an accident last Thursday while en route for Lincoln Park. Mrs. Brown of 6031 Loomis street is still very sick. Mrs. T. H. Smith of 6022 Aberdeen street is sick with a severe attack of nervousness. Mrs. Conly of 6022 Aberdeen street is still very sick. Miss Sophromia Jordan of St. Louis, Mo., is visiting her aunt, Mrs. D. Lillard, 6148 Ada street. Mrs. Josephine Smith of 5746 Lafayette avenue left the city July 16 for Jackson, Miss., to visit her sister, Mrs. Artie Redmond. Mrs. Shaw of Jacksonville, Ill., is in the city visiting Mr. and Mrs. Carter of 1346 West 61st street. Mrs. D. H. Harris, Mrs. N. A. Grammar, Miss Stella Bradley and Mrs. Walter Jordan were the guests of Mrs. S. Jones of Harvey, Ill., last Thursday. Mrs. Kranar and son of Texas are in the city the guests of Mrs. Chas. Steward of 5922 Aberdeen street. Mrs. A. Fields of 6515 Aberdeen street is still on the sick list. The Harmony Club, an auxiliary of Queen Esther Chapter, will meet at Mrs. Mattie Alfords, 3423 Wabash avenue, July 28. Meetings second and fourth Mondays—Mrs. J. C. Craig, president; Mrs. Viola Bowman, secretary. The Ideal Woman's Club was royally entertained at the residence of Mrs. Richardson, 5512 Lafayette avenue. Rev. Thomas Brumfield and family of Des Moines, Ia., are visiting his brother, Attorney J. M. Brumfield. Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Brantley entertained at luncheon Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Middget on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Wadsworth Holmes have the sympathy of their many friends in illness of their youngest daughter Jessie. Mr. and Mrs. J. Webb have moved into their new and beautiful home on South Aberdeen street. Hope Presbyterian Church. The pastor, Dr. C. Lee Jefferson, preached an excellent sermon in the morning from the theme: "Tearful sowing and a joyful harvest." The Rev. Thos. Brumfield, pastor of Union Congregational Church, Des Moines, Ia., occupied the pulpit in the evening and gave a scholarly discourse upon the evils of modern city life. The Sabbath school was well attended and much interest shown in the lessons by pupils and teachers. The Ladies' Missionary Society met at the parsonage on Friday afternoon and decided to give a straw-ride to Morgan Park. Two of the Sabbath school classes gave a delightful lawn fete at the home of Mr. Thomas Windburne on Ada street on Monday night which was attended by a large crowd. ENGLEWOOD LYCEUM. The Englewood Lyceum rendered a splendid program last Sunday afternoon at the Negro Fellow League to a large and appreciative audience. This was the Lyceum's first venture away from home, and if we are to judge from the hearty greeting, warm applause and compliments received, it was a grand success. Mrs. Barnett was very much pleased with the program. She expressed her appreciation in very complimentary terms, and said she hoped the Lyceum would return in the near future and give the league another program. It is impossible to give adequate expression for the laudatory work done by the participants on the program. The young ladies who took part in the exercises are members of the Lyceum and a few months ago were too bashful and unacustomed to the stage to give any promise of the fine talent they displayed last Sunday. Mr. Solomon Morrison's rendition of Beethoven's "Farewell to the Piano Forte" was splendid and delightful. The Lyceum choir, which promises to render valuable services to the Lyceum, sang "Abide With Me" in a very sweet and charming manner. Master Philip Arnett, the little son of Captain Pussey D. Arnett, Company F, I. N. G., read the "Night Wind." It reminded one of one's childhood days. Miss Brittmalre Wright sang the ever-beautiful song, "Suffer Little Children to Come UnTo Me." Miss Wright's interpretation was fine. "Just A-wearing for You," by Miss Ethel Male Brumfield, was one of those simple little songs that set one to thinking of the old homestead. Mr. George Hall, the popular musician, favored the audience with a bit of brilliant and well executed classical music. The address, "A Guide to Co-operation Among Negro Americans," by Mr. C. Lee Jefferson, Jr., was masterful, inspiring and informing. Mr. Jefferson promises to be one of the leading orators of his race. When Miss Valleau Winburne rendered the "Song of the Soul" in that sweet, charming, melodious strain so characteristic of her natural, musical voice, the climax of the program had been reached. Mrs. D. W. Johnson, editor of "Current Events," read many items of interest culled from the current literature of the day. The piano solos, "Chimes" and "In the Merry Month of May," were very sweet, and Miss Jefferson's work at the piano was artistic. Dr. C. Lee Jefferson, after the program was finished, made a brief talk upon the "Unity of the Negroes." In a brief talk Mrs. Ida B. Wells Barnett, president of the Fellowship League, expressed her appreciation to the Lyceum, and also THE CHICAGO DEFENDER. CWOOD and Religious News set forth the aims and objects of her work. Miss Blanch Randals spent a very busy week sightseeing, and visiting friends, parks and theaters. Mr. and Mrs. John H. W. Oglesby, 3744 Rhodes avenue, called on Miss Blanch Randals of Nashville, Tenn., at 6034 May street Wednesday evening. Mrs. Allne White of Springfield, ill., called to see Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Johnson, 6034 May street. Miss White is in the city visiting friends and relatives, and will remain probably during the summer. The Englewood Lyceum will render a special program Sunday, July 27, at Hope Church. Mr. Albert George, attorney at law, will speak. Music will be furnished by the Entre Nous Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. James Edward Smith. JACK JOHNSON'S DOINGS ABROAD Chicago Defender's Special Correspondent Accompanies the World's Champion Heavyweight Pugilist in His Travels —Keep Posted on His Great Trip. Mr. John Arthur Johnson, the world's heavyweight champion, has gone abroad. His trip will no doubt be eventful, and the Chicago Defender has arranged for the publication of everything of interest on the trip. A special correspondent for The Defender will always be in evidence, and the most authentic accounts of "Jack Johnson's Doings Abroad" will appear exclusively in The Chicago Defender. Entirely a Personal Matter Mark Twain and his peculiarities were being discussed by an English class in a western high school. One youthful orator had very eloquently described Mark's personal appearance and had laid unusual stress on the author's fondness for wearing white flannel. "Gee!" said one much interested youth. "I don't see how the public knows whether his flannels was red or white."—Everybody's Magazine. Accidentally. "I wonder how so many forest fires catch?" said Mrs. McBride. "Perhaps they catch accidentally from the mountain ranges," suggested Mr. McBride.—Christian Register. Literary Not If boys tried to read between yellow, covers some of the fiction that girls read these days under the name of late novels they would have to take their meals standing up. Bishop Heber, while on a visit to his father-in-law, Dean Stanley, wrote "From Greenland's ley Mountains," in fifteen minutes, making only one correction, the change of "savage" for "heathens" in the second verse. Pessimism Sometimes Welcome A little discreet pessimism may have its use. Some people scatter sunshine so recklessly that a certain amount of cooling shade is necessary to comfort.

A negro stopped a brick at Washington the other day, after it had fallen ten stories and was traveling with the velocity of a cannon ball. When the brick hit William Moore, the negro, on the top of the head, the brick broke into bits. Moore sat down suddenly and apparently was a subject for the coroner. Workmen sat hurriedly for a physician, but before he arrived Moore sat up. "What dye want to do that for?" he demanded angrily of a workman. Examination of Moore revealed that all he suffered was a headache. Terse and Truthful. "Too much absorbed in his business," was the comment of a newspaper on the death of a brewer who was found drowned in a tank of his own beer. Woman of Experience. He—"If I am detained down town late tonight don't wait up for me." She—"I shan't; I shall come down for you!"—Judge. But they benerally do. A man with a big voice and broad shoulders can always get a notification for being wise if he doesn't insist on talking too much. DR. AND MRS. THEODORE Miss Ada Lou Mitchell was the guest of honor at a dinner given by Dr. and Mrs. Mozee of 5133 Wabash avenue on Sunday afternoon, July 13. Those present were Mr. George Thompson, Mrs. M. Divis and Miss Rebecca McClure of Evansville, Ind., and the bride-to-be. C Let us interest you in the Hair Business.

Also all the lead in an embossed plush for THE WORLD OF SPORTS FOOTBALL BASEBALL BASKETBALL American Giants Games. The American Giants opened in New York last Thursday and received a beating at the hands of the Royal Giants, 9 to 7. P They started off like winners and held the lead until the eighth, when they went to pieces, allowing the eastern boys to shove six across. The score: R.H.E. Am.

Sunday the Americans again defeated the Royals, this time 8 to 2, causing the large crowd which had come to see a double header to be disappointed. The second game was prevented by rain. The Giants made a sensational finish. They went ahead in the eighth but were tied in the Royals' half, and in their half of the ninth they tallied six times. The score: R.H.E. Am.

At Des Molles the Union Giants defeated the Hopkins Bros.' team, the Chicago lads making all their runs in the fifth inning. Alexander did the twirling for the Unions. Cubans Win. The Cuban Stars won from the Chicago Giants at Schorling's Park Sunday, while the American Giants were in the east. The Islanders had a tough battle, for Crawford was pitching his best against Pedrosa. It was not until the ninth that the Cubans had the game on ice, when four hits and half as many errors brought home the bacon. The score: R.H.E. Chicago Giants 0 000 1 010 0-2 7 4 Cubans .....1 001 1 000 2-5 10 1 Batteries-Crawford and Armstrong; Pedrosa and Figarola. Here and There. The Giants had the Cubans scared throughout the game. Crawford pitched a swell game and would have won but his support was a little wabby at times. He defeated the Islanders twice last year. Villa pulled off two unusual plays that brought the crowd to its feet. He went back twice and pulled down Texas Leaguers and each time threw runners out at the plate. Both times was the beginning of a Giant rally. Armstrong and Figarola had a battle royal behind the bat, each allowing, only one stolen base out of a dozen chances. Parpetti was a batting terror when he first came to this country but seemed to have lost his eye in recent years. In the last few games though he has regained his lost sight and is pelting the pill all over the lot. Grace won another game at Washington park Saturday, this time 10 to 5. The large crowd of her followers were on hand as usual pulling for her to win. After the third inning it was Grace all the way. Defenders Spoil a Record. The Defenders, who have lost only one game out of eleven played, spoiled the record of the Lincoln A. C. Sunday morning at Washington Park. The Lincoln went into the game with a record of 18 games won and none lost. In practice they showed up well and had Young and Henderson planning their attack. McDougle pitched a good game and there would have been a battle royal had he been given the proper support. The Defenders also had their batting eye and, spurred on by the taunts that the Speed Boys had won a game, they went to it. Seven home runs were instrumental in part of the score. Radcliffe and Drake got two each and Thompson, Henderson and Oglesby one aplece. The score: Defenders ..... 4 5 0 4 0 4 2 0 3 — 22 Lincolns ..... 1 6 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 — 9 Carey gave way in the second in favor of Foster and before he got his bearings the Lincolns had scored six. The Emergencies, captained by Mr. Julius N. Avendorph, will play the Defenders Sunday, Aug. 3, at 11 a.m. The captain will be at third and a hard game is expected as they have lost no games this season and have a strong lineup. Lincoln Glants hook up with the American Giants Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. By J. D. Howard. Indianapolis, July 18—Sunday the All-Filipino baseball club made its first appearance in Indianapolis and was given a bad beating by the A. B. C.s, colored champions of the city. The score was 13 to 0. The brown boys were good fielders but weak at the bat. The islanders also were slightly lacking in watchfulness on the bases, a number of them being caught napping. Griffin pitched for the winners and was tight with men on bases. The locals scored six runs in the first inning on six hits and a walk. Procopio got a three baggage for the Filipinos in the eighth, but BY FRANK A. C. YOUNG. was caught off third. Solden starred for the A. B. C.s. A. B.

C.s got six hits, Allen getting a triple and Watts a home run. Reinhardt's Reserves collected ten hits, Calderhead starring with two home runs. Moran and Pritchett each got triple and McElfresh a double. Bowser's club was fortunate in getting men on bases, three receiving bases on balls, two being hit by pitched balls and four reaching the initial bag by errors. Seven of these runners scored.

They have, through the generosity of Mr. Schorling, secured his park for either the 14th or 16th of August. We hope to get the support of the charitable public as did the minstrel show. The Doctors are rounding into shape and will be able to put up a good article of baseball. YOUNG JACKSON Special To The Chicago Defender. Saskatchewan, Sask., July 18.—In sporting circles the topic now is Young Jackson, the bantam weight champion of the northwest. According to his manager, George McCreary, he has won fifteen straight battles in three months. "Young Jackson" was born in Havana and has many friends in Chicago. He is booked to meet Charlie Ledoux at Paris, France, in September for the championship of Europe. Bonners, Idaho—Last night before the Stockman's Association, held at the Odd Fellows' Hall, the long wrangle between the bantam champion of the northwest, Johnny Murphy, of Frisco, Cal., and young Jackson, of Butte, Mont., Murphy's bitter rival, was fought for before 500 or more people. It was announced that the gate receipts amounted to $1,200, the pugs getting 50 per cent, split 75 to winner and 25 to loser. Referee Patsy Mehegan gave the decision to the Butte lad at the end of the twelve of the hardest rounds ever seen. Dr. Willard promoted the show and put up a sterling silver belt. Jackson won all the way, but received lots of punishment. Manager Geo. McCreary, Jackson's manager, will put the boys on again soon. It is claimed he helped to promote the show. Billy Woods, of Oakland, Cal., won over Jimmy Cannon, of Seattle, Wash., in the semi-final of eight rounds. Bantam weight champion of the world, Johnny Colunn va. Young Jackson, champion of northwest, meet here in October. PEORIA Peoria, Ill., July 18.—Miss Wanna Boone is visiting her grandparents in Litchfield, KY.

A large portion of the audience was made up of the best white people. The band was under the auspices of Ward Chapel A. M. E. Church. Mr. Henry Chanis has rented his beautiful house on the east buff and moved his family to Springfield, Ill. The Defender wishes Mr. Chanis much happiness in his new home. Mr. F. D. Banks, house painter and paper hanger, has been in Omaha, Neb., for the last two weeks, looking after a very large contract he has there. His little son, Freddie, also went along with papa to help see the work. While Rev. and Mrs. S. B. Jones of Ward Chapel were out of the city a few days ago someone was mean enough to break in and steal quite a number of valuable things. Among them was a fine overcoat and a suit of clothes. Rev. Jones was lucky enough to have two suits of clothes. Had he not had, he would have been left in a sad plight. Anyone that would steal a minister's overcoat in August is mean enough to do anything. Rev. B. N. Mussell and wife left on their annual vacation last Saturday, which will last till the latter part of August. Mr. George Ellis of West Gale avenue had three of his fingers nearly severed from his right hand a few evenings ago while serving a banquet. Ward Chapel A. M. E. Church is prospering nicely to the pastorate of Rev. S. B. Jones. All of the floating debts, amounting to about $700, have been paid, and the pastor and members are preparing for conference. Ward Chapel has had 100 books donated to it for the Sunday school, through the efforts of its pastor. Mrs. S. B. Jones has returned from an extended trip to Chicago and Rockford. Ward Chapel cleared quite a nice sum from the proceeds of the Tuskegee Institute Band. A thief is like a transitive verb; he always takes an object.—Waldo Baston. SPORTING NEWS FROM THE COLLEGES —EXPERT COMMENT NATIONAL EXPOSITION AND SEMI-CENTENNIAL POSSIBLE Race to Take the Initiative, Assisted by Their White Friends. At a conference of leading Negro business and professional men of Chicago, at the Appomattox Club Tuesday evening last, a national movement was launched to organize the various states into a great national movement for the purpose of giving, in this city in 1915, an exposition and semi-centennial to fittingly celebrate the fifty years of freedom of the American Negro. The conference was well attended and was addressed by Mr. Beauregard F. Moseley, who called the meeting to order and stated its object, after which, on motion of William G. Anderson, was chosen chairman, and Louis B. Anderson, assistant county attorney, secretary of the conference. Short talks were then indulged in by MaJ. R. Lynch, W. G. Anderson, Rev. D. H. Harris, Maj John C. Buckner, Mr. Henry S. Anderson, James H. Porter, Rev. W. S. Braddon, Frank L. Hamilton, president of the Appomattox Club: Attorney Walter M. Farmer, Rev. McCracken, presiding elder of the A. M. E. church, Chicago district, and Col. John R. Marshall of the Eighth Regiment. The consensus of opinion seemed to favor a national, rather than a state exposition, many of the speakers being of the opinion that a state exposition would of necessity be a failure because of a lack of exhibits and interest by the Negroes themselves in an enterprise controlled by a commission composed of white men and women. The following resolution was introduced and adopted: Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting, composed as it is, of representative business and professional men of Chicago, that the chairman be authorized to appoint a committee of twenty men and five women to take such steps as in their judgment they may think best to organize and incorporate a National Negro Exposition Commission for the purpose of exhibiting the product of the Negroes' brain, skill and energy in commemoration and celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Negroes' freedom in America, and said committee is hereby authorized to call a further meeting at an early date. PATENT OFFICE HUNTS EXHIBITS Washington, D. C., July 18.—In order to help the officers in charge of the 50 years of freedom celebration to be held in Philadelphia, the United States patent office has issued the following circular: This office is endeavoring to obtain information concerning patents to colored inventors, in accordance with a request from the Emancipation Proclamation Commission of the state of Pennsylvania, authorized by the legislature of that state to prepare an exhibit showing the progress of the colored people of the United States during the 50 years following the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, the exhibit to be held in Philadelphia, Pa., in September, 1913. To aid in this work, you are requested to send to this office, in the inclosed envelope, which will not require a postage stamp, the names of any colored inventors you can furnish, together with the date of grant, title of invention and patent number, so that a list without errors can be prepared.

GEORGE WALKER ENTERTAINS IN HONOR OF MISS ADA LOU MITCHELL On last Friday afternoon the pretty home of Mr. and Mrs. George Walker of 522 East Bowen avenue was the scene of rare galaxy, the occasion being a miscellaneous shower by Mrs. Walker complimentary to Miss Ada Lou Mitchell. After several novel features prepared by the hostess for the amusement of her guests a delightful and a very unique surprise was prepared for the ladies by Mrs. David Manson, entitled "A Musical Romance." It was read by Mrs. James Parker and dated from the marriage of Miss Mitchell's mother to the coming nuptials of Miss Mitchell, and at intersections of the reading a selection of music was rendered by Mrs. Manson. The guests will ever cherish this rare musical treat and the composer and her able assistant gave complete expression to their work. During an elaborate menu Marcella Walker assumed the role of a little messenger, delivering to Miss Mitchell a huge box and a basket containing the beautiful and dainty gifts brought by the ladies, consisting of rare china, dainty lingerie and linen and many useful kitchen utensils. It was one of the most delightful affairs of the season and Mrs. Walker, as usual, proved a charming hostess. Those present were Mesdames Daniel H. Williams, David Manson, Samuel Evans, John White, William Washington, Harry Kraft, James Parker, Arthur Codozoe, Julius N. Avendorph, Miller and daughters of Winnipeg, Mrs Maude Walker and the bride to be. The hours were two-thirty to five-thirty. LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT THING. There are many men who will never succeed until they find something that they can do without being caught—W. Baston. City of Evanston THE CHICAGO DEFENDER By J. E. Priestly. The revival meetings under Mother Brown at Ebenezer A. M. E. church has been largely attended. The call for penitence brought out an unusually large number. We wish she could have stayed longer. The T. M. C. H. meeting at Mt. Zion Baptist church last Sunday was largely attended, the crowd being a record breaker. Mother Brown, the Evangelist, spoke encouragingly to the young people and pictured the future as something grand with their assistance. Mr. J. W. Washington of Chicago also spoke. He is the western representative of I. O. St. Luke, Richmond, Va., and gave a sensible talk with a lot of good, sound advice. J. E. Priestly, accompanied by J. R. Lalley, visited Waukegan, Ill., last week and incidentally secured Rev. H. E. Johnson as correspondent for The Defender. He will welcome all news items for the paper. As an accommodation to the trade we wish to announce that J. E. Priestly has added one chair to his barber shop equipment, making four chairs in all, so that he can guarantee quick service and no long waiting. Remember, No. 1517 Elmwood avenue. WAUKEGAN, ILL. Sunday, August 3, will be banner day for the new A. M. E. Church. Pastor H. E. Johnson and his people expect to go into their new building on that day. Every arrangement is now being made to make it a special occasion.

Johnson was appointed as delegate to the National Negro Educational Congress which convenes in Kansas City July 15 to 19, by Governor Dunne, but he was unable to attend owing to the building of the Waukegan Church. Rev. Thomas R. Ricks preached at the A. M. E. Church Sunday night to an appreciative audience. The Christian Endeavor Society, under the leadership of Mrs. Ophelia Payne, holds interesting meetings every Sunday evening. The young people are preparing to render a musical program Thursday, July 24, to help the trustees of the A. M. E. Church. Seven members have been taken into the A. M. E. Church since the laying of the corner stone, but Sunday, August 3, is expected to be also membership day. A great increase in membership is expected between now and conference. Quite a number of North Shore people reaching from Milwaukee to Lake Forest attended the funeral of Rev. Horace S. Groves at Evanston. Williams' Jubilee Singers will appear in Waukegan for the benefit of the A. M. E. Church Thursday, Sept. 11. GLENCOE. ILL.

"A year ago people didn't think of the possibility that a fire had been set," said a New York fire insurance adjuster. "Now they don't think of anything else. The other day I had to investigate a small fire. 'What do you think was the cause?' I asked the janitor. 'It looks to me,' said he, 'like the friction between a $500 value and a $1,000 policy.'"

Do you want your rent money to buy you a home in a good neighborhood where NO HEIRS CAN CLAIM IT LATER? BURGLAR HAS LEGAL RIGHT In England He Is Considered to Have Right to Life, If Not to Liberty. Do you want a 2-flat building? Do you want to gq into business for yourself? Do you want to move in a newly decorated home? It seems that the English burglar has a very definite right to his life, if not to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Law Times discusses, the matter at some length and seems to think that if you shoot a burglar except in a positive defense of your own life it may be nearly as unpleasant for you as for the burglar. A man may defend his person or his property, but he must use no more violence than is absolutely necessary. He may not fire at a burglar before he has begun to burgle, even though he knows that he intends to burgle. He may not fire on him after he has finished burgling and merely to prevent his escape. If he does, and kills the burglar, he will be guilty of manslaughter. You may not kill any man merely because he is assaulting you or stealing your goods. You must prove that your own life was in danger. But there is some compensation for these disabilities. A burglar is usually caught by the police and, when caught, he will be tried at once, and will usually find himself irrevocably in jail on that same day. And if he was armed he will cease to be a danger to society for a good many years. If any appeal be allowed it will be heard in the course of a few days and decided on the spot.

Natural peat, as is generally known, is the product of the partial decay of mosses and other plants that grow in swampy places or in damp and foggy regions. Dr. Bergius, a German chemist, is said to have produced artificial peat by subjecting a mixture of cellulose and water to a pressure of more than 6,000 pounds to the square inch and heating the mixture to about 240 degrees centigrade. This treatment continued for twenty-four hours transforms the pulp into a product the constituents of which are identical with those of peat. Calculations based on this new process show that at a temperature as low as that of the earth, it must have required 7,000,000 years to form the deposits of natural peat. This estimate agrees roughly with the calculations of geologists—Youth's Companion. Send guesses to The Defender office as long as you see this challenge. Watch the Sign.

The World's Greatest Weekly Newspaper What Makes the Corn Pop? Every one knows and likes that humble but cheerful dainty, pop-corn. But how many can tell what makes the corn pop? A writer in Harper's Weekly explains: A kernel of pop-corn is filled with tightly packed starch grains. The interior of the kernel is divided into a large number of cells, each of which may be likened to a tiny box, the walls of which are strong enough to withstand considerable pressure from within. Upon the application of heat, the moisture present in each little box is converted into steam that finally escapes by explosion. The grain of corn then literally "turns inside out," and is transformed into a relatively large mass of snow-white starch.

News of the Churches BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH. Dr. Roberts preached a very instructive sermon last Sunday morning, his remarks being centered around a number of clauses found in the first chapter of St. Mark. The overflow service was conducted by Rev. White, music as usual by C. E. choir. At the evening hour Bishop B. F. Lee, D.D., spoke in a logical and forceful manner on the subject of "Leaders," drawing his theme from several verses of the 11th chapter of St. Matthew. At each service there was impressive singing in the form of solos and a number of persons united with the church. Sunday school was held in the Auditorium of the church and was well attended. The Allen C. E. League was quite busy conducting three services during the day. At the hour of three o'clock they, together with Rev. Trause, conducted services at the Old Folk's Home, Sacrament being administered. At two o'clock the Cook County hospital was visited by other members, and at 6:15 the regular services were held. This Sunday the Junior Endeavor will render a program at the Old Folks' Home at 2 o'clock. Rev. Adams will conduct a special service for women only at 3 o'clock this Sunday.

Russel preached a noble sermon Sunday morning and Sunday night. He is proving himself to be a gospel preacher since he has been with us. There are few churches that can afford two pastors and send them out of the city at once. Rev. Russel will go to Glenwood Park Friday, July 18, to attend a picnic given by the Provident Baptist Church, in which Mt. Morlah will be well represented. The pastor, Rev. T. L. Polk, was very sick three or four days last week in Birmingham, Ala. He reports being better at this writing. He was able to speak at the New Bethel Baptist Church on last Sunday evening. His text was St. Luke 2:14. They had a stirring meeting. He will return home Sunday, July 27. Miss Hazel Blanton is getting on nicely, but is not able to leave her bed.

A large and enthusiastic audience assembled last Sunday morning to hear Rev. Callis on "Pure and Undefiled Religion." The sermon was well received and seemed to be highly appreciated; there was a noticeable increase in the morning offering. The Sunday school and Christian Endeavor are holding their own during the hot weather. At the evening service we were privileged to hear a splendid talk by Prof. Charlie Alexander of Boston, Mass., who is en route to California, where he expects to make his home. The subject of his lecture was "The Making of a Good Name." He is a very pleasing speaker. We were especially blessed with a large attendance at our class meeting on Friday the 11th, nearly 100 persons being present, and the offering was over $16. Our services for Sunday will be as usual. Dr. Callis will preach at 11 a.m. ; subject, "The Rejoicing of the Sower and the Reaper." At 7:45 subject, "The Follower of Jesus and the Joys of This Life."

GRACE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH The Sunday school will have their annual picnic July 31 at Washington Park. There was a special meeting of the teachers and officers of the Sunday school, after the regular session last Sunday. It was decided to give the collection of the first Sunday in each month to the music committee in order to maintain the orchestra; also to try to get twenty persons to contribute 25 bents.

Lewis, preached his second sermon from the second clause of the Lord's prayer, "Hallowed be Thy name." These sermons are not only interesting but also instructive, and would do you good to hear them. Come on next Sunday evening and hear this able messenger of God on the prayer you think you know much about. The Sunday school is growing. We now have four classes—two adult, one intermediate and one primary. You are cordially invited to visit and worship with us at any time. ing meetings continue to grow.

When thou passeth through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walketh through the Rev. Eugene Lawrence. fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flames kindle upon thee."—Isaiah 43:12. "The writer of our text," explained Dr. Lawrence, "lived at a time when the majority of people about him thought in terms of religion. They had and a great history, much of which had probably not been written. "Constant reference to the old events kept fresh in the minds of the people the thought of God and their relations to Him. Such habits of thought developed the characters which stand out most prominently in the Old Testament, and especially those who figure in a conspicuous manner in its composition. Many of these were great characters; great not only according to the age in which they lived, but also as compared with the most worthy men of our day. We cherish their thoughts and from them get food for growth. "Coming now to the thought of our text, and especially to our main theme, we are what we are because of what we believe, and that character is the product of thought. The early Hebrews firmly believed that God was personally interested in them, both as individuals and as a race. In the face of all misfortunes, calamities and apparent contradictions they held fast to this absorbing conviction. "It is generally conceded that from three principal countries has come the basis of our civilization. From the Hebrews a genius for religion, the Greeks, literature, and from the Romans government, law and order. Western civilization is more complex than the civilization of the East in that it represents the blending of the best elements of the races of ancient civilization, although many thinking men deem it, as yet, but an experiment, and, to my mind, the experiment shows signs of weakness more in our religion than in either of the other two elements. In the majority of cases, I am afraid that our religion does not give us that unaltering faith and trust which is expressed in the language of the text. 'When thou passeth through the waters I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walketh through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flames kindle upon thee.' "I am afraid we are lacking in the simple, childlike faith of the ancient Hebrews. We prove to be too easily discouraged. "When glooms and shadows seem to hang heavily over our pathway, why not, like those stolid and faithful old Hebrews, make a careful survey, reconnoiter the field and rehearse the experiences in Egypt, the Red Sea, the Wilderness, and the entrance into the promised Land as convincing proof of the presence of the Divine hand? "The strife between nations is not always a curse, nor a sign of God's displeasure, for the lessons of history teach the reverse. It is as often God's wise course to foment human growth, and the development of the divine in man. We cannot secure much of value in this or the world to come without effort. In one way or in another we must toll and sweat for that which strengthens and builds up the physical, moral and mental man. This unalterable truth comes home each day to millions of men and women that make up the struggling, toiling human larvae of the sweat shop, the farm, the mill and the factory, in professional life and to the mother, wife and father, the builders and toilers for the home. "Upon the success of this universal, world-wide conflict to a considerable degree depends the sane and normal development of man's higher nature Man is more than body; he is also, and mainly, mind and soul. And as the body has to be fed that it may keep in a healthy condition, so also must the mind and soul. The need of the physical man seems apparent to all, but many seem not to see the importance of feeding the mind that it too may keep strong and continue to grow, muttering to themselves, 'What's the use?' I can get along just as well as I am. I can earn just as much and have just as good time'. But, ah, my friend, young man and young woman, life is more than a good time, it is more than money. "David, who was to the ancient Jew the ideal king, and who is the great Jewish leader and authority to whom the present Jew is always ready to refer with pride and reverence, expressed his conviction of the inefficiency of man, and of the all sufficiency of God, and, incidentally, the hollowness and vanity of mere mortal pleasures, the 'good times' of a moment, in these words: 'Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except Jehovah keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.' The apostle John put it thus, "Without Me ye can do nothing." And this was the assurance of the apostle to the Gentiles, 'I can do all things through Christ that strengtheneth me.' To men with this kind of faith, when they pass through the waters God will be with them, and will not suffer them to be drowned; and when they are made to pass through the fire he will be their shield and protection, for He is the same God of whom the old heathen, king more than two thousand years ago said, 'Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like unto the Son of God.' "However we interpret these passages their spiritual truth remains. The cross of Calvary will forever stand as an unparalleled example of sacrifice and love; as the one unique example of religious faith and conviction." FREDERICK DOUGLASS CENTER Sunday afternoon, July 20, at 4 p.m., there will be a Social Settlement Symposium in charge of Miss Harriet M.

"Let God have the right way in a church," says the pastor, and debts and all things else will be taken care of. Having faith in no other method but the above, Dr. Wilson has, through the earnestness of his efforts and his splendid success at St. John thus far, evidenced to his members that this is the method which brings results. And now this method being practiced by all, that God's blessings may rest upon this church. It is hoped that by-the-first Sunday in August the present indebendedness of $895 will be cut down to a small figure. And all are laboring to this end. Last Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock the ladies of the Grant Mite Missionary Society were delighted with an elequent sermon by Mrs. Nora Taylor. A goodly number were present and expressed their joy at having attended. In the evening Dr. Wilson preached in his usual excellent manner, giving encouragement and strength to all under the sound of his voice. The choir played well its part and featured the evening program with a delightful quartet selection, "Rock of Ages." Your presence at these services will be most highly appreciated. You will find enjoyable services here at all times. QUINN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. The services at "Mother Quinn" last Sunday were exceedingly interesting. A congregation filling the large auditorium and gallery greeted Bishop B. F. Lee, who delivered the sermon at 11 a.m. The bishop delivered a masterly sermon in his own characteristic way, much to the delight of all who heard him. At the evening service Dr. Cook, the pastor, delivered an interesting sermon, taking for his subject, "The Dying Thief." Both the regular and the gospel choirs rendered excellent music at each service. The Sunday school gave a debate on Tuesday night which was a most delightful affair, and was well attended, especially by the young people. The Endeavor society is being well attended, despite the warm weather, and is very helpful to the young Christians who have recently connected themselves with the church. The Rev. R. R. A. Adams, who held the splendid revival last winter, is in the city and will preach this Sunday morning at 11 a. m. The ladies of the Progressive Club have taken charge of the anniversary, which comes off Tuesday night, July 22. The united outing and picnic of last Monday by the Methodist churches was a most delightful affair, and greatly enjoyed by all who took it in. The Sunday school convention of the Chicago District of the A. M. E. Church was held in Quinn Chapel Wednesday and Thursday. Mrs. Della Turner Cary of Quinn Chapel presided. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER "The Inward Manifestation of Christ" was the subject of Dr. Carey's excellent sermon Sunday morning. The text words were, "How wilt Thou manifest Thyself unto us and not unto the world." Two new members were added to the church, Mr. and Mrs. Mentlow. Because of the steady increase in members a new class was created and Mr. Halsey was called forward and given charge of the newly founded class. Sunday evening Rev. J. B. Balay preached an appreciated sermon. The Commission on Half-Century Celebration met Thursday at 9 a.m. and continued throughout the day. Tomorrow morning Dr. R. A. Adams, the great evangelist, who conducted the recent revival at Quinn Chapel, will preach. He will preach again on Monday night. ST. MARY'S A. M. E. CHURCH. Services, 10:45 a. m. and 7:45 p. m. Rev. Jas. Woods of Chicago Heights preached to a large congregation Sunday morning. In the evening Rev. T. J. Marshell spoke to an appreciative audience. Our local preacher from Evanston, Rev. Frazirl, was also with us last Sunday. The Christian Endeavor convention will meet at St. Mary's A. M. E. Church Tuesday and Wednesday, July 22-23. The evangelist prayer meeting continues to grow in interest every Wednesday evening. A. M. E. Sunday School Conference Convention held at Owington College Convention Held at Quinn Chapel. The twenty-second annual convention of the Chicago District A. M. E. Sunday Schools of the Chicago Annual Conference was held at Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church Wednesday and Thursday last. The days were divided into three sessions—morning, afternoon and evening—beginning at the hours of 10 a. m., 1 p. m., and 8 p. m. The morning sessions consisted of devotional exercises, reports and appointments of committees. The afternoon sessions of devotional exercises, praise services, and reports of various committees of the Sunday school department. The evening sessions started with a song service. ROOSTER KEEPS MAN AWAKE Testifies Crowing Fowl Is Like Buzz zing Alarm Clock, but Justice Can't Remedy. New Rochelle, N. Y.—William Salisbury, a literary man living in the Beechmont section, is waging war on chickens. Salisbury went before Justice Swinburne and testified that Mrs. Mary Peck, a wealthy widow living near him, who owns hundreds of chickens, lets them run at large, and that haughty hens and strutting roosers enter his back yard, peck at geraniums, daffodils and roses, and then cluck or crow when he is trying to sleep. Mrs. Peck replied she does not own one rooster. All of her chickens are hens, she told the justice. Moreover, she said they are suffragettes, for they roam at will and are not to be hampered in their inclinations. Salisbury said he is sure Mrs. Peck owns a chicken that isn't seeking the ballot for women. He knows a rooster when he sees one, he testified. Mrs. Peck's crowing pet, he added, struts into his front yard and screws so crouily that often he mistakes it for the shriek of an automobile siren. The rooster, Salisbury explained, is like an alarm clock that rings every ten seconds, for it awakens him half a dozen times every morning before daylight. Also, he added, it makes his wife lose her beauty sleep. Mrs. Peck said she is sorry her hens disturbed the Salisburys, but added that she could not keep them on her property all the time. The justice told Salisbury he can't prevent the chickens from making visits to neighboring yards. Salisbury was dejected. He went home and saw a half dozen chickens in his flower beds. "I captured one," he said to a reporter. "Mrs. Salisbury and I will have roast chicken for dinner. "Every time a chicken enters my yard and destroys flowers or claws up the earth, I shall hold that chicken and demand damages from Mrs. Peck. If she does not pay those damages I shall kill the chicken and either sell or eat it. In this stand I am upheld by Prof. H. Gerald Chapin of the New York University Law school, who says chickens have no more right to trespass on property than have human beings." FOR A SECOND WHITE HOUSE Mrs. John A. Logan Advocates the Purchase of a Home for Vice- Presidents. Washington.-Belmont, the large town estate of the late Asa Barber, may be purchased by the government as a home for the vice-presidents. This was advocated by Mrs. John A. Logan and was announced at a meeting of Washingtonians interested in the preservation of the estate. She would have the place be a sort of second White House. "Congress should purchase the property," she said, "and in view of the small salary paid offer it to the vice-presidents as a home." Harry Wardman, a Washington builder, owns the property, which is located at Fourteenth and Belmont streets, and offers it for sale for $200,000. A Warm Reception Chicago — Jacob Langton, Clear Haven, MIch., who arrived in Chicago to visit relatives, stepped from an elevated train into the arms of two negro robbers. They choked him until he was unconscious and escaped with $46. Bear Cause Scramble New York—Seven hundred bees and hornets escaped in a subway train when their cage was smashed. They took to the style of hostelry and a wild scramble was soon on. FORT WAGNER ANNIVERSARY (Continued from Page 1.) (Houston College, Texas, sang "The Vacant Chair." The meeting had a meaning that was two-fold: First, as regards Col. Robert Gould Shaw, who not only fought and suffered for our freedom, but died for that cause. Again, we should reverence this battle because here is where it was first proven to the world that the American Negro soldiers had the valor, patriotism and courage of other American soldiers. The battle of Fort Wagner is not only honored by the colored people but by the State of Massachusetts as well. There is erected a monument just below the State House in honor of Col. Shaw and those valiant colored troops. Assault of Ft. Wagner. At daybreak on the 12th of July, 1863, the Federal troops advanced swiftly to attack Fort Wagner but the rebels were well prepared for them and the swift, and deadly rain of bullets sent the Union troops in a fast retreat, leaving many of their dead and wounded in the hands of the enemy. Had the fleet moved up and raked the fort with their guns it is the opinion of many that our troops would have gained a foothold, but the navy commanders claimed in the blunder that they knew nothing of the attack and would have gladly helped had they known. Falling in this attack it was decided that the guns of Wagner must be silenced before another attack by the infantry would be tried. They threw earthworks up at a distance of a thousand yards of the fort and the big mortars from Folly Island were brought over and put in place. On the morning of the 18th the bombardment started, the Union troops having meantime put thirty cannons and mortars in place. The land batteries poured a tempest of shot in the south side of Wagner while the fleet moved to within range and battered the east side with their high guns. The rebels were not silent by any means for they returned shot for shot, doing great damage, but after a few hours of their awful fighting their firing slackened and soon their guns were silenced. At four in the afternoon all signs of life and become extinct beneath the grim and battered fortress and so glad were the Federal officers that they begged G. Gilmore to let them assault the fort as soon as it became dark. Here the fatal mistake. Had they charged in bread daylight they could have seen the enemy and would have prevented the landing of reinforcements from Charleston. As the last rays of the setting sun shone on the fort the Union troops formed more than a mile away, the famous black regiment, the 45th Mass., in the lead supported by the 6th Conn., 48th N. Y., 5d N. 11., 76th Penn. and the 9th Me. Not a sound came from the fort, the volleys of the brides and the shells of the mortars were not an answered. There was not a glimmer of light. Onward moved the troops. No sentient challenged the oncoming foe but all at once the silent walls of Wagner burst forth in a gleam of light and within its walls seemed to be a power unknown. The fearful hissing shot, the shrieking bombs, the deadly whispering bullets spelled death to the invaders. The column was demoralized for a ment, but the brave Putnam shouted "Forward! Steady, my boys." Gen. Strong tried to encourage them as he was mowed down by the rain of deadly fire. They reached the ditch, they climbed the ramparts, they grappled and fought with the rebels who yielded and fell back to the rear of the fort. The black troops mounted the wall and cried, "The day is ours." But concealed guns in the rear of the fort were brought in action and here our brave men were mowed down. Here it was that the brave Col. Robert 'Gould Shaw was found, Shaw had been with the 7th N. Y. and was from a high social and prominent family. The rebels were reinforced during the fight. Their help had landed on the beach under the cover of darkness. They hurried themselves on the fighting blacks. The struggle was fierce. Relief was sent to the 54th but here another blunder; as the reinforcements reached the struggling black men they poured their shot in them, mistaking them for the rebels. Shaw rallied his men once more. It was too late; he went down with his men, who were slaughtered like cattle in a pen. Here Putnam met his death urging the men on against fate. It was there on that narrow piece of land that those brave men fought for freedom's cause. The few retreated and the bloodthirsty rebels trained their cannon on them. It was a dreadful night, but for the fatal blunder the brave troops of Shaw might have succeeded. Mowed down by the enemy and mowed down by their own men. Under a flag of truce the Union ment went to bury their dead but found that they had been already buried in the trenches where they gallantly fell while fighting. The net morning found them with a dreadful loss, nearly two thousand had fallen and along the beach and on the ramparts of the fort si hundred were lying dead. When they asked the rebels for the body of Shaw, their commander claimed "they had burdled him in the ditch with his 'niggers.'" The heroism displayed at Wagner will never be or has never been equaled in the history of the world. On the Boston common is a monument to Col. Shaw and his brave colored troops by St. Gaudens. There are a precious few left of that brave body of men. They burried him with his niggers, Earth holds not a mausoleum In the world beyond the wave That a nobler tale is hallowed, 'Or a purer glory crowned, Than the nameless trephane where They buried him with his niggers, A wide grave it should be; They buried more 1. nthat shallow trench Grand Moonlight Excursion Along the LAKE SHORE Than human eye could see.

WEEK Great Event In Students' Year Described in Many Letters From Ancient-University. London—Doubtless every letter that has left Oxford recently has contained a more or less vivid description of Eights' Week, the the great event of the student year. From the 15th to the 21st of May the quiet, stalid old town was transformed into a gay and fashionable resort, and, to the joy of all, Dame Nature did her utmost to make the result entrancing. My first sight of the Eights, from the deck of a river steamer, filled me with delight, as I drank in the beauties of the scene before me. For the moment the eager, striving carmens were forgotten, and I beheld only the marvelous charms of my surroundings. The college barges, which at all times look attractive, were particularly so for this occasion, and each contained its quote of maidens and Main Thoroughfare, Oxford. white-flameless undergraduates. On the opposite side of the river, imum-urable punts were moored, well filled with cheering humanity, and the tow-path aloing the right bank was black with watchers. Unlike ordinary races, the boats do not cross the line together, the river being far too narrow to permit of such a course. They leave the starting point in single file and in the order of precedence gained in the races of the previous year. If the second boat succeeds in overtaking the first, a much prized "bump" ensues, and the second crew is entitled to first place in the next contest. Thus, bumps are eagerly sought, all along the line, the same rule holding good in all cases. Once a bump has been effected, the crews of the boats concerned immediately cease rowing, and drop out of that particular race, and one hears all along the course the enthusiastic cheers which announce another victory for the hard-working contestants. From the starting post a wild surging mass of students, headed frequently this by the prince of Wales, rushes madly along the tow-path, cheering their favorite crews lustily, and adding to the general din with rattles, bells and pistols. Even the staid old matrons become excited, and wave their parasols frantically, endangering greatly thereby the eyes and millinery of their neighbors. RETURNS TO STOP OWN WAKE Jersey Painter Comes Home From Job to Find Family Weeping Over His Supposed Body. Kearney, N. J.—James Kiely was shocked at witnessing what his relatives and friends believed to be his own "wake." When he returned to his home, after a few days' absence on a painting job, he found his sister, Mrs. Catherine O'Brien, his two brothers and a score of neighbors sitting in the front parlor weeping over a coffin. The mourners spied him as he stood on the threshold amazed at the scene, and his sister fainted at the shock of seeing him. The other mourners when assured that he was not a ghost, explained affairs. During his absence the newspapers had told of the death of James Kelly from sunstroke in Newark. 'When Mrs. O'Brien read the item she feared that the victim was her brother and that the paper had misspelled his name. She went to view the body and the features were so nearly, the double of those of her brother that she believed it to be his body and ordered it removed to her home. HONOR MEMORY OF MASSENET City of St. Etienne WILL Erect Monument to Composer Who Died Last Summer. St. Etienne, France.—The city of St. Etienne has decided to erect a monument to honor the memory of Jules Massenet, the famous French composer who died in Paris last summer. The movement is being supported by some of the best-known musicians, artists and statesmen of the French republic, and copies of the appeal are being sent out by the French city where Massenet was born. Members of the committee in honor include such well-known Frenchmen as Saint-Saens, G. Carpentier, E. Palodilhe, Vincent d'Indy, Carolus Duran and Arlade Briand.

Use Flower Advertisements Brussels, Belgium.—Advertising in flowers and bedding plants, a new French scheme, has been adopted in this country as a result of a new law prohibiting the use of boards for advertising purposes. Fresh Milk on Board Ship Boston—a brood of prize hens and a herd of prize cows destined for American homes gave the passengers on the steamer Devonian fresh eggs and milk daily on the voyage from Liverpool to this city. When Sir Thomas Lipton gets tired of trying to lift that cup, he might try his hand at polo. The joy ride continues to maintain its reputation as being fully as dangerous as any ride. Now that aviation has become a business, enthusiasm has quite naturally waned a bit. Hot weather is good for the crops. And the dispute in the Balkans is good for the Krupps. Another foreign complication threatens. A Kansas court has decided that a pretzel is not a food. No other business is quite so important as making the children happy and keeping them healthy. They never throw old shoes at a bride in Chicago. A Chicago shoe is classed as a deadly weapon. A Schenectady man has invented an electric fly killer.

To say that they had some bill at the Grand this week would be putting it mildly. It was a corker from start to finish—and oh that finish! Miller and Lyles, Cabaret with Tabor and Green, Ethel James Burton, Wallace and Green, Arthur Malone, Mae Dunham, Cook and Bernard and Jerry Mills. A galaxy of artists—to use the expression of a previous artist—“such as was never before seen under one tent, and all for the nominal sum of ten cents, one dime, the tenth part of a dollar.” The act must be seen to be appreciated. Jed and Ethel Dooley were down on the bill as “versatile entertainers,” they were both and then some. Billy Chase didn't give you time to take a nap in between fresh ones, we're not quite sure whether he's a good talker or a good singer, he's one or the other. The Three Loretta's played so well you imagined you were listening to a full band. Bell and Hall sang exceptionally well and put over the plate some hot ones that seemed to reach home. To sum it all up it was a Majestic bill for ten and twenty cents. Can you beat it? The State Theater The doors of the newest, pretties and most commodious picture and play house, The State Theater, Thirty-fifth and State street, will be thrown open to the public tonight. The owner and manager, Mr. Thomas Tank, has spared no expense in the construction and equipment of this amusement house, the lighting, seating and ventilating is perfect, the architecture and decorations pleasing to the eye, and to add to the enjoyment of his patrons, a mammoth $10,000 organ and orchestra has been installed, the finest musical instrument in any theater in the city. The vaudeville is to be of the highest order and all first run pictures are to be used. Mr. Tank, the genial proprietor, will undoubtedly receive the lion's share of theater-goers, as he promises to give only entertainments of the highest order. A glance at the bill for the coming week verifies his statements. Welcome The State Theater. Just dropped in the Lux to get out of the heat, found the theater about ten degrees cooler than outside, also found the house crowded with enthusiastic followers. How Mr. Zurawai can give so much for five cents is a mystery, but as they say "We should worry." They say first run pictures cost a bunch of money, and they also say good artists come high, but nothing seemingly comes too high for this house. DELIGHTFUL LAWN FETE.

Mrs. Eva Hicks has returned from her vacation and has resumed her work among the girls who are preparing to dress make. Miss Lillian Chapman and Mrs. H. B. Lewis still have the younger children. Mrs. Ida V. Jones, the teacher in the advanced dressmaking class, teaches those under her all the art of the work. The settlement desires very much to have cooking classes at an early date. Mr. Hammond, director of boys' work at the Y. M. C. A., was pleased to meet the boys of the settlement Saturday at ten after reading, story telling and teaching them new games. Mr. Hammond organized a baseball team that will play the boys of St. Thomas next Saturday at ten in Washington Park. The boys have been given a small discarded wood-shed for a workshop. They are happy at the idea and are hoping that friends will come to their rescue by contributing an hour or so each week The Grand.

HIGHER THAN EIFFEL Gigantic Tower Proposed for Dusseldorf, Germany. German Engineers, In This Project, Will Outdo Their French Rivals— To Be Tallest Structure World Has Ever Known. Dusseldorf, Germany.—A great steel tower that will rise to a height of 1,600 feet, surpassing the Elfelt tower by more than 600 feet, is proposed for this city. If the plans are carried out, the tower will rise above the River Rhine, a part of the lower portion of it forming a bridge. The legs of the tower at right angles to the bridge will rest upon two stone pliers, which will lie about 650 feet apart on a line with the central pier of the bridge in the middle of the stream. The arches at the base of the tower will be 300 feet in height. The top platform, which will be 160 feet below the extreme summit, is to be 80 feet square. From this a wonderful view of the surrounding country would be secured. The tower will be used for scientific purposes, and will have a wireless installation in its top. This tower will be the tallest structure in the world and will mark an engineering feat that, while not at all unattainable in this age of lotty construction made possible by modern building in steel, has never before been considered commercially desirable. With this structure scientific measuring and weighing of air and its currents is expected to reach a higher state of perfection than ever before. From a commercial point of view the government will profit, undoubtedly, through its wireless installation, which is expected to have a radius greater than any station now in operation. In addition, Dusseldorf, long a center of aviation and the scene of the THE EIFFEL TOWER 1,600-Foot Tower Projected for Dusseldorf, Germany. several triumphs and innumerable failures of Count Zeppelin and his dirigible balloons, will add to its prestige as a show point. This structure will permit of an extraordinary view over the countryside. With the observatory at the pinnacle equipped with powerful telescopes, it will be possible to sweep the horizon for hundreds of miles. While Elfelf tower has little commercial value, outside its wireless installation, the Dusseldorf structure will serve the double purposes of bridge and observatory. Architects engaged on the plans have not revealed the cost of construction, but it will be enormous. TEAMSTER WITH SHOW A GIRL Keen Eyed Physician Treating Sprained Wrist Penetrates Young Woman's Disguise. Bristol, Tenn.—The examination here of the sprained wrist of a teamster with a Wild West show brought to light a romance in which a ranch girl of twenty years and her cowboy sweetheart were the central figures. Miss May Shaffer, a comely girl of North Platte ranch, near Omaha, left her home and journey alone to New York city to join the Wild West show that she might be associated with her sweetheart, Leonard Sasseen, a cowboy with the show. Arriving in New York, Miss Shaffer applied for a position as cowgirl rider in the show. To her disappointment she was advised that every place was taken. After a conference with Sasseen she appeared in man's garb and applied to the master of teams for a position as driver. She was placed in charge of an eighth-horse team. Disgusted as a boy, Miss Shaffer gave oment satisfaction as a teamster until she sustained a sprained wrist. The physician saw the hand that of a woman and the expose followed. Smokes, Smiles, Then Dies. Baltimore.—Smoking a cigarette, Ray Miller of San Francisco smiled and chatted to the clerks in a drug store and calmly waited for the arrival of an ambulance after he had swallowed a quantity of carbolic acid which he had purchased a few minutes before. Afterward he walked a block to the ambulance, but died later in the University hospital. He told the policeman in the ambulance just before he dropped unconscious, "when you are in hard luck, what can you do?" THE CHICAGO DEFENDER NEWS and of WASSE Tells All About Styles NEWS and GOSSIP OF WASHINGTON Tells All About Styles at the National Capital WASHINGTON. A curious request came to the editor in the early spring months. "The next time you go to Washington," wrote a subscriber, "won't you make some observations and tell us what the real styles are, as observed by a man? We have fashion books, of course, but what does the average man observe in woman's attire?" The letter was dispatched to Washington with other memoranda, but lay neglected in its envelope until one afternoon I stumbled in on a deputation from a fashionable young ladies' school being received by the president in the east room of the White House, writes Joe Mitchell Chapple in National Magazine. They were a bright lot of girls, laughing and chatting as became young and pretty maledens. Every hat, seemed to have a ribbon rudder veering out prominently astern. The masculine mind was wondering what kept that waterless rudder so steady in a breeze. "Boat shaped" hats seemed the trend of that line of millinery.

At mounting the ladder she was better than Chief Wagner's fiercest fire eater. She could put one hand on the barrier of social icebergs and leap into the center of things and pretend she had always been "it." If social conquests depended on shining a slippery, well-larded flapole, her climbing experience would have enabled her to do the job with one hand on the pole while the other clutched a lorgnette at the proper angle of disdain. She was a grand lorgnette operator. That was one of her prime acquisitions. She had practiced lorgnetting in much the same fashion that feverish golfers practice driving with a professional on the side lines. She would spear a social interior with a glance through that lorgnette with perfect accuracy and would watch him wiggling upon the impaling glance with a cold-blooded delight which would have made her a good running mate for Nero of Rome, Italy. After several seasons, in which she climbed enough social mountains with her trusty lorgnette to entitle her to a presidency in the Alpine club, she attained that exalted position in her own imagination which always carries with a poor memory for those who do not travel in the set toward which she is clambering.

Carter of Oklahoma is proud of the fact that he is one of the few men in congress in whose veins there is a goodly share of original American blood. In other words, Representative Carter boasts of seven-sixteenth Chickasaw and Cherokee Indian blood. Representative Carter spent his boyhood on the western frontier of the Chickasaw nation, and since he entered national politics has had much to do with the framing of Indian legislation under the dome of the capitol. When the lumber schedule of the new tariff bill was discussed a while ago Carter, who is etralight as an arrow and swarthy of complexion, told us that it illustrates the possibilities of debate on that important schedule; Most of the Statues at the Capital Face North ONE of the criticisms made against the Sherman monument at the south of the treasury is that it faces the wrong way; that is, it faces to the north, so that persons looking at it from the front must generally look against the light, thus obscuring their vision of the details of the work. It may be so. Most of the statues in the public spaces of the capital face toward the south, but a number of statues in addition to that of Sherman look toward the north. Among those facing north or northerly are Rawlins, Kocuzsak, Steuben, Paul Jones, Alexander Shephard and Samuel D. Cross, the physician whose effigy stands in the grounds of the Smithsonian institution. Among those facing to the south or southerly are McPherson, Scott, Logan, Lincoln (in front of the city hall), Lafayette, Rochambeau, Benjamin Franklin, Farragut, Dupont, --- ears. Other hats looked like colored pumpkins, one-quarter size, tilted to the right, and others had a sweeping plume like a sidewheel steamer. To the masculine observer there seemed a nautical turn to most of the millinery "creations." Some of them might have been worshiped without breaking any of the commandments, being utterly unlike anything either in the heavens above or the earth beneath. The absence of birds on those hats would have delighted the Audubon and Humane societies, for not a bird was in sight in that line of hat craft, although it looked as if several bird's nest lace creations were stowed away in some of the crowns. So far as the editorial eye of the observer could see, the hat bodies were made of straw. This, I believe, characterizes summertime headgear. As the request was limited to styles, nothing must be added or conjectured as to the "high cost" of the various creations. The dainty jackets, loosely worn, resembled in the upper story the lines of a fancy pajama, while the lower story was reedited to preserve the nautical trend of the fashions. The one thing that really impressed the masculine mind was the simplicity in that stylish gathering. It may be that "votes for women" has had its influence on styles—at any rate I am informed that later in the season hats will be tilted to the starboard, or rather "to the right," as the new ruling of the naval department has it, and carry more rim and call, as the equinoctial storms approach and the bills come due for papa to consider. SO GOOD OF YOU TO REMEMBER IT west. The youth is a lawyer of slight practice but of active political tendencies, and a pretty bright kid. Mrs. Lorgnette knows the youth as well as she knows her own name. His name we will call Johnson, although it is nothing like it. One day Mrs. Lorgnette had occasion to visit the office in which Mrs. Johnson was working. Mrs. Lorgnette had a heavily brocaded friend with her and for some reason it pleased her to pretend not to know Mr. Johnson. Up went the trusty lorgnette and through it shot a large-sized, well sharpened look of inquiry, mingled with annoyance at having to deal with some one not in "our set." "Let me see," she said with a tea party accent, "have I not met you somewhere about. Isn't your name, er—ah—isn't it Gray?" Remember, now, she knew that name Johnson perfectly well. "Yes," he said, "it is Gray. So good of you td remember it." And now Mrs. Lorgnette is beginning to believe that Gray Johnson was making game of her. "In the early days of Oklahoma politics there was a joint political discussion there between a Republican and a Populist. Both played checkers with their past political records, the Republican having been a 'Greenbacker' and the Populist a Republican. After the former had finished a scathing attack on the vagaries of Populism the latter read a 'Greenback' speech made years before by his antagonist and rested his case. "The evidence was conclusive and the case looked bad for the Republican, when the accused dramatically demanded: "Mr. Populist, did you never make a political utterance of which you were ashamed and for which you would apologize?" "Yes," replied the Populist with absolute frankness. "I was living once in a dugout in southwest Kansas, dirt for the bottom, dirt for the top and dirt for the sides, and it was a bitter winter. I had nothing but a film, worn-out quilt hung in the doorway to keep the chilling blasts of winter from freezing my shaking frame. I stood shaking, shivering and chattering, and I raised my hands to heaven and prayed for a high tariff on lumber." Thomas, McClellan and Witherspoon. Jackson, Greene, Hancock, Pulaski and Marshall at the foot of the capitol look toward the west. Albert Pike, Sheridan and Longtellow face toward the east, and as the correspondent writes this his memory seems to tell him that the statue of Garfield faces west and that the statue of Daniel Webster faces east, but memory is sometime a tricky thing. The statue of Scott is in the Soldiers' home grounds is another that faces toward the south.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER VOLUNTEER WORKERS ENTERTAIN CHILDREN. Take a Number of Poor Children to Lincoln Park and Treat Them to Many Good Things. As a fitting climax to a good season's work of aid to the needy the Volunteer Workers gave a picnic to a band of Chicago's poor children. Charitable institutions and school rolls furnished names and addresses of children whose family life, environment and means showed them in need of a day's enjoyment as well as a "tummyfol" of wholesome food. Various members of the clubs met their little bands 'at an appointed place and conducted them to the "happy camping ground"—Lincoln Park. It has been said that poor children, because they must toll, know want and endure privation, are such grown-ups that they do not know how to play. Not so with these little ones. The committee had furnished them with bean bags, and jumping ropes, and, with the assistance of these playthings, no help was needed by any little child, for they enjoyed themselves seemingly as never before. What with romping, running and jumping, luncheon came not a moment too soon. Long snowy paper table-cloths were spread on the grass, and the good things were distributed to each of three lengthy tables. After a good, wholesome lunch every child was overjoyed to receive a big dish of ice cream. Some time, of course, was consumed in clearing away the luncheon things and in serving the club ladies. In fact it was just enough time, the committee felt, so that each youngster was ready for more ice cream. So to their great delight they were served more ice cream. Then each little band was singled out and, headed by its club chaperon, marched to the aime of each child's expectation, the great place enjoyable beyond imagination, interesting beyond words—the zoo. Bears, lions, tigers, giraffes, every animal seen in a picture book, and many they had never seen before, met their bewildered gaze. Some were too excited to say anything. Others uttered an occasional "Oh! Look at that!" and still others were thoughtful enough to inquire after the animals' health. "How do you do, Mr. Ostrich?" or "How are you, Mr. Elephant?" One or two bold, brave boys told more timid ones how they would like to get on the lion's back and ride him, or how he could go right up to the tiger and feed him just as the attendant was then doing. If it had not been time for closing the animal house it is doubtful whether many youngsters could have been dragged away within an hour's time; but a blue-coated officer can accomplish wonders, and so the happy party moved on to the bird house, though not without casting back wistful glances. The chattering of parrots, parroquets, the singing of canaries, indigo buntings, robins, bluebirds, tangagers and a hundred other little birds held the listening band almost speechless, but the sight of ducks, geese and many other beautiful water fowls turned loose a chorus of exclamations and comments. At last the whole panorama of breathless interest was passed, and the little army returned to its camping ground. Each little boy and girl was then given a box of crackerjack all his own, and preparations were begun for leaving. It is remarkable to stand aside and view from an outsider's standpoint the noble work these women are doing. I am sure anyone who witnessed the joy brought to the hearts of these dear little children last Monday could not help but give the Volunteer Workers spiritual, monetary as well as what is most practical, personal old. STORK LIMITED. On July 4 the Stork Limited stopped at Station S and delivered a fine baby boy to Mr. and Mrs. E. Stockard. Mother and baby are in good condition, and father is very proud.

Call Douglas 7298 Offer Opportunity for Passing a Winter Unequaled by Any Other Place in Europe. Berlin.—This city is the most comfortable city in Europe. This plain statement of a plain fact doesn't mean that Berlin is beautiful as is either Paris or Vienna, but simply that as a place in which to pass a winter or to reside the entire year it offers opportunities which do not exist in Europe. Berlin proper is not imposing, its historic interest is scanty, but the new Berlin, Greater Berlin, is a brilliant city of villas set in a large park, where the streets are curved, where every flowers invites the eye, where flowers rule and great spaces delight. Ten years ago Berlin West, say Charlottenburg, in the vicinity of the Unter den Linden. zoological garden, was considered a suburb; today it is the real Berlin, and not the stuffy old town, with its dingy houses and not too fragrant streets. Of course, Unter den Linden will always be the heart of Berlin for the tourist, not alone because of the big hotels of Friedrichstrasse, Leipzigstrasse, and the shopping district, but because the royal palace, the museums, the new cathedral, and the Lustgarten are at its other end. But leave it at the Brandenburg gate for the Tiergarten, and a crow cannot fly any straighter than the wide allee called the Charlottenburg Chaussee; then walk leisurely through this delectable region till you reach the Charottenburg bridge, thence up the Berlinerstrasse to the bend or junction, (Kule), and with the exception of certain parts of Paris and Vienna you will not find a finer street in the world. There is the long Bismarkstrasse to pursue; or you may follow the Berlinerstrasse to the old palace with the monument of Emperor Frederick II, on the Laenplatz. Or cut through the Tiergarten at the station and come out at the zoo, with its fantastic animal houses and fine walks, and you are on Hardenbergstrasse in front of the Romanesque (late) memorial church of Emperor William—with a hideous chime of bells (Berlin churches are ugly). The view straight up this avenue is inspiring. Some noble buildings adorn it, and at the Steinplatz there is another vast square flanked by apartment houses that set you to wondering over the ingenuity of Berlin architects and their capacity for the clever varying of styles, so as to mingle modern and German Baroque without offending the taste. THINKS JAR OF JAM A BOMB New York Judge Finds Mysterious Bundle, Which Police Soak in Water. New York—Strawberry jam caused the scare. Jam like that which mother used to make—the kind that we wole when we were kiddies, and then got licked for the "swipit." When Judge Thompson of Brooklya returned home he found on the fourth floor an oblong pasteboard box about eight inches long and three inches wide in which what appeared to be two metal cylinders. His curiosity stopped then and with more speed than grace he darted downstairs and called up police headquarters, explaining that he had found a bomb. Detective Ward was sent to the house. At arms length he carried the bomb to the police station and soaked it in water, while the nerves of some of his fellow-policemen began to become a bit ragged. Visions of an honor medal appeared to Ward as he began to open the suspected bomb. Everybody was breathing hard. He severed the strings and —there was a sorry-looking detective, for the "bomb" was two innocent jars of strawberry jam. BOLT PICKS OUT A VICTIM Seaford, Del.-Accompanied by destructive electrical disturbances, a violent rain and windstorm swept over lower Deleaware leaving much damage in its wake. The steepe on the Seaford high school was shattered and the bolt raced down the building, shocking residents of adjoining houses. A bolt of lightning entered a home on Pine line and knocked unconscious J. Milton Barnes, solicitor for the Diamond State Telephone Company, but left uninjured several other persons in the room. Barnes was revived with great difficulty, but is suffering no bad results from the experience. Many outbuildings were destroyed and much live stock was killed in the rural districts. Dies a la Cleopatra. Cincinnati—Two weeks ago C. H. Bishop, president of the C. H. Bishop Flour company, watched the death struggles of a car he had chloroformed. That incident, it is believed, suggested to him a way out of his own difficulties. Bishop was found dead in his home, 1006 Windsor street, and he had used chloroform to bring about the end. In a note to his wife he said business reverses and bodily infirmities had mounted higher than he could withstand and that "this is the only way out."

Every night in the week her abode he would seek, And his tale of love he'd whisper o'er. So one night very late as they stood at the gate, And billed and cooed as lovers do. Her papa they heard call to the dog in the hall: "Sick 'em, Tige"—for him it meant skiddo. It seems July favored Tuskegee by giving her a cool night. The Y. M. C. A. office put one in mind of a business center on Thursday. We haven't had a parade on Sunday or nearly a week now. What's song? St. Thomas' picnic was a good place to meet all of your old and new friends. The Eighth Regiment boys are beginning to get restless, now that camp time is approaching. There is now in our midst a black Jew. Now the question arises, are the American Jews Mulattoes? Speaking of blowing one's self is putting it breezy when compared with the way the Tuskegee boys blew themselves. The iceman got a little worried on Thursday on account of the sudden pool weather. Don't worry. Things are still in your favor. It is really a touching sight to see the young ladies walking by the new Y. M. C. A., knowing so far shall thou come and no further. Governor Dunne promises to turn every officeholder out who did not support him during election. They really haven't any kick coming. "To the victor belongs the spoils." A few would be a conservative estimate of the throngs that literally backed the Seventh Regiment Armory last Thursday evening to hear Professor N. Clark Smith's wonderful Tuskegee Band, Orchestra and Club. The lady in pink was Mrs. Paul Eggleston, and the one in blue was Mrs. Harrison, that everybody was wondering who the dames were at the Tuskegee Club's afternoon reception. But at the ball, at the ball; my, they surprised them all with their dazzling --- change. The Dumar of Calcutta had to retire. Fine, girls! Not wanting a new A. M. E. church built in their locality, the surrounding propertyholders, unable to make terms with the church board, had the city condemn it for a playground at a nominal figure. That's one way of keeping the colored brother out, but it's costly and takes a strong pull. The question is asked, why don't the American Giants advertise in the race papers, like the eastern teams? The only reason we can give is the race does not demand it. If they were to do like the Jew and others they would not attend a game if their aid did not appear in the paper they spend their money in trying to support. There is an old saying, "When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war," but they remodeled it in Peoria the other day when fifty Greeks armed with picks and shovels started to march through the colored settlement, with the intention of starting something. They succeeded in starting things, such as bricks, clubs, etc.; and in the windup many heads were cracked and about forty Greeks were taken to jail. Moral: Don't start anything you can't finish. C. M. Baxter of California gives $17,000 toward educating the colored children in the former slave states. In his will the testator says he gives this for two reasons: First, as a thank offering to God for blessings temporal. Second, to benefit the colored people who have been so wickedly oppressed. Our friends are ever remembering us, and we need but work honestly and faithfully, and show that we are deserving of the confidence they impose in us. Miss Nanule H. Burroughs of Washington, D. C., founder and president of the Girl's National Training School of that city, will be the guest of Olivet Baptist Church on Sunday and Monday evenings. She has often been styled the Booker T. Washington of women speakers, and has a world-wide reputation. The work she is doing should command the hearty support not only among Baptists, but every denomination. The Defender and all Chicago bid her welcome. THE CHRONICLE We are pleased to note among our exchanges this week the Illinois Chronicle, which comes after a suspension of several weeks. It is a bright, crisp, news sheet, well edited and nicely made up. It is now edited by Mr. George W. Ellis, one of the most learned men of our race. Associated with him are Mr. A. N. Fields, founder of the paper and a man with a wide experience in newspaper work, and Mr. James T. Brewington, who has charge of the advertising department. The paper had an auspicious beginning, and it is to be hoped the high standard set will be maintained. Vive the Chronicle. HOME IMPROVEMENT PLAN HOME IMPROVEMENT PLAN. It wouldn't be a bad idea to inaugurate a campaign for the betterment and improvement of the various colored settlements about the city. Neighborhood clubs of children could be formed, and prizes offered for the neatest and most sanitary looking yard, and special attention should be given to the alleys, the breeding spots of most diseases. There is no doubt but what the landlords would aid in every way such a movement, as it would mean much to them from a financial point of view. This experiment has been tried in other cities with marked success, and there is no reason why Chicago should not do likewise. A number of the pastors of our churches have signified a willingness to co-operate, and will talk on the subject at their respective churches. The greater part of our life is spent in the home, and the surroundings should be made as inviting as possible. Great things can be accomplished along these lines if each and every one will enter into the spirit of the thing. HELPING ONE ANOTHER Bringing education to the poorer classes in the black belt is the mission of a great many young men and women of our race who are practically unknown outside of the little district they work in. Occasionally the press will speak of one of these missionaries, whose life story always reads like a fairy tale. "Starting out four years ago with a class gathered together under the shade of a spreading oak tree, _____ has built up a flourishing school, and now has several pretentious buildings surrounded by two or three hundred acres of land, and with the aid of both white and colored citizens is able to maintain and develop a country life school in which to train the head, heart and hand of the Negro boys and girls." What will all of this mean in a few years? That even in the darkest portions of the Southland the light will come, and where there is light there is hope. It is one thing to put your money into a cause, and another thing to put yourself into the work. Both are necessary, but the man or woman who devotes their life to the uplift of their fellow beings deserves and should get our moral and financial support. Rise we will, but we must all rise together. MOB LAW. Recently a Nebraska mob tried to disgrace the state by attempting to lynch a young colored man suspected of committing a crime. There was no evidence to show the guilt of the prisoner, but that made little difference with these bloodthirsty irresponsible, doubtless the potential criminals of the future. That they were foiled in their attempt does not lessen the intended crime. Each and every member of that mob had already lynched this man in his heart. The governor should put a quietus on this unlawful spirit before it is too late and disgrace falls on the state. In law the effort to steal is stealing. Is not the effort to lynch also against the law? Every member of that mob who is apprehended should be severely dealt with, and the whole state nas- chinery should be set in motion to search out and convict the guilty parties, and arrest everybody found incting lynching. This inhuman, barbaric way of attempting to mete out justice must come to a halt, or what is the hope for law and order in America? Southern White Men Must Marry Black Women. The Negro miners in Africa struck a week ago because the Dutch are continuing to use the Negro women as prostitutes, and castrate the Negro men for the least offense. We think that if our Southern white brother would castrate a few Negro men in the South it would give them a little more fighting spirit, and he would not permit any white man to live in open adultery with his daughter, but would make him marry her, or do as they do in Cuba—have an unknown black hand do the work of Brutus. If the Negro ministry would preach it is an honor to die for the virtue of the Negro women there would be respect for the marriage tie by the Southern white gentlemen. GOVERNMENT EMPLOYES Something like 6,400 of our people are employed by the government at Washington—far too many to suit the Southern contingent, who are making all sorts of queer noises to arouse public sentiment against this condition. Of course Southern young men and women are practically prevented from seeking employment. Their honor?), you know, would not permit them. They feel that in order to preserve the purity—mark you, PURITY—of the white race there should be no placing of whites and colored, even when at work, on a plane signifying social equality. Government positions are, as a rule, under civil service, and are gained by beating your competitors in a fair and square examination. If there are, as is claimed, 6,400 colored employees, there are just that many who are better fitted for positions than the whites, mentally, morally and every other way. There is but one reason in their minds why they should be entitled to the preference, and that is because they happen to be white, or at least think they are white, for below the Mason and Dixon line it is hard telling who is and who is not white. There need never be any fear that the people of this country will give the Negro more than he deserves. On the contrary, he is compelled to be far better than the white man to receive the same recognition, and then he is expected to humble himself and feel grateful for the crumbs tossed to him. There is an element of ignorant whites in the South that will never change, and should this country ever be thrown in war would bear as much watching as would the enemy. If the government does not employ and protect the Negro, what chance he? THE EDITOR'S MAIL.

Many are troubled with burning condition, scalds and blisters on their feet. All of these painful conditions are due to either remote or present causes. They are brought about largely by foot clothing. Bad Custom. Among savage nations it has always been customary to constrict and distort some portion of the body. Among most savage, barbaric peoples it is a part of their religion or in keeping with the most perfect social conventionalities to bind the feet, flatten the head, bore holes in their ears, lips or in the nose. The Chinese bind the feet of their aristocratic girl babies. We allow fashion to cause us to bind and distort the feet of our aristocratic ladies. The North American Indian strap a board over the forehead of its little papoose in order to give a fashionable degree of flatness to the head. The African belle is often adorned with rings in her nose, lip or in the ears, and she is often tattooed. These practices don't seem to be much out of place among uncivilized and unchristianized people; but when Christian, civilized, intelligent people resort to the deforming of the human body, especially the feet, as we now see among the fashionable and well dressed ladies and gentlemen, it is enough to shock the sensibilities of the most obtuse intellect. Shoes should be worn to protect the feet from bruises, cold, heat and dangerous substances. One should have from 2 to 3 well fitting pairs c. shoes so that the shoes should be often changed. It is not well to wear the same shoes every day for any considerable time. They should be allowed to air and cool. Shoes should be made to fit comfortably, not too large nor too small. It is better to have soles as thick as one car comfortably get around in. This will protect the soles of the feet. Thin soled shoes are injurious to the feet even in winter or in summer. Many of the troubles that inflict women such as female trouble, bowel disturbance and pelvic inflammation are brought about by the use of the up-to-date high-heeled, close-fitting pointed-toed French shoes. Of course, these French-heeled shoes are making business for the doctors. They render our young girls often unfit for wedlock and motherhood. They are detrimental to young women budding into womanhood and mothers should see that their girls use common sense in choosing their footwear. Lace Shoes. It is better to purchase lace shoes. They are preferable to buttoned shoes as they can be better regulated as to care and comfort. The big toe should never be jammed into the end of a shoe. See that your big toe is from one-fourth to one-half an inch from the end of the toe of shoe. Question. Mrs. E. P. writes: "What are corns and what is the difference between a hard corn and a soft corn? Is there any cure for corns?" Reply: A corn is a round hard or soft thickening of the epidermis or outermost skin, occurring at a point where the skin is pressed between bony portions and the shoe or between two hard substances. There are two kinds of corns. The hard corn, which occurs between the bone and shoe and contains a conical central peg or core. Then there are soft corns which occur between the toes. They are brought about by heat and moisture. They often suppurate and become sticky and produce a foul odor. Yes, they can be cured. First of all get a well fitting shoe, thus relieve the friction. Wear, soft, smooth and well fitting hose of good quality. Corns should be soaked in an alkaline solution, then pare and scrape (be very careful in paring to have the instrument thoroughly clean), until all the hard, dead tissue has been removed. It will take several evenings of this kind of treatment, after which, if not cured, consult your physician or chirurgist. Mrs. M. T. W. writes: "My feet burn and pain me every night. I have several callosities on the ball of my feet which are tender and painful, and they interfere with my getting around on my feet. What would you advise for the painful and burning condition of my feet and to remove the callosities from the ball of my feet?" Reply: I would advise well fitting shoes, plenty of room for your toes, moderately thick soles and moderate heels. You might use rubber heels. Try going barefooted around the house on the carpet, thus giving your feet a chance to rest and cool off from their cramped condition. You should change shoes often. Once every day and on very hot days change them twice a day for the painful and burning condition; soak your feet in cold water twice a day. Try rubbing with alcohol and witch hazel equal parts. Often rest your feet in an elevated position. One's feet should be bathed and massaged as often as one's face. For the callosities try soaking feet in a hot alkaline solution from 15 to 45 minutes and gently scrape and pore off the hard places on your feet. Don't try to get off all hard places in one setting. It might do your feet good Shoes. Healthy A. Wilberforce Williams y Talk on Preventative , First Aid Remedies, s, Sanitation.

Chicago has thousands of homeless or ownerless dogs that are a menace to the communities they are permitted to infect. In addition to these are thousands of dogs that have owners and are roaming at large without being either muzzled or licensed. The facts are that the present dog tax should be doubled; and then when doubled should be rigidly enforced and collected. In Germany, no unlicensed or untaxed dog is allowed to live. For example, the city of Berlin has 45,340 dogs, the tax from which brings into the public treasury a trifle over $200,000. Frankfurt has 9,700 dogs that yield a yearly revenue to the city of $50,000. So In all the cities of Germany the dogs are heavily taxed and in addition their owners are required to keep them in such a way that they can neither annoy or injure human beings. Did you ever see a thoughtless woman on a shopping expedition hurrying along the street with rapid strides and, tugging at her hand, a little tct running at almost its topmost speed to keep up with its nervous, bargain seeking mother? Usually that little one is crying and protesting at being thus literally dragged through the streets for blocks without a chance even to rest its weary little feet that must make, at least three steps to its mother's one. No, the mother does not mean to be unkind or cruel to her child; but she is just the same. And to be cruel or unkind to a child just because we are thoughtless or so intent on either pleasure or profit seeking is just about as bad as though we did it with deliberate intent. Anyhow, the physical damage to the child is just the same. We should not forget that little short legs cannot take as big steps as long, strong ones can; also that when grown-ups are walking at anything like a rapid gait, the little one is compelled to run to keep up. So let's be considerate when out with the children and moderate our steps to suit theirs. If you don't want your neighbors to complain about you: Don't neglect broken roof gutters and downspouts. Don't throw rubbish on the nearest vacant lot. Don't heat rugs on the back porch. Don't allow manure or other filth to accumulate on your own premises. Don't keep chickens or ducks under your back porch. Don't keep your pigeon cage outside the kitchen door. And finally don't allow your neighbor to do any of these things without speaking to him about them. Then if he refuses to be good send your complaint to the Department of Health. Government authorities assert that rats cause a loss to this country of $167,000,000 annually. In view of this tremendous waste due to rats and also the additional fact that they are carriers of disease, especially of bubonic plague, money spent to secure their extermination should be a most profitable investment. Is your community infested with flies? If so, it means that the manure piles are not receiving proper attention. Remove all flith and the flies will soon disappear. A minister was called from the dinner table to marry a couple. The youngest child, a boy of four or five years old, heard his mother say that the father had gone to marry, somebody.

HEALTH NOTES. Feared He Had Lost Papa Family Bible Substitute To Prevent Corroding Call Again. Please Father's Day. THE SUBSTITUTE [Second of a series of articles written expressly for The Chicago Defender.—Ed.] From the four sons of Noah—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—was the whole world people. The immediate offspring of these three sons of Noah formed one nation, speaking one common language. As they increased in number they journeyed from the region of Armenia and settled in the land of Shinar, that tract of country known later as Chaidea or Babylonia. The account is given in Genesis in the following language: "And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. "And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there." They entered upon the scheme to build here a city and a tower, whose top might reach unto heaven, that in case another deluge should have been visited on the earth the tower would have served as a fortress of protection. This act was both an expression of doubt of God's promise that he would not send a flood of water on the earth again, and a manifestation of presumption; for what ingenuity of human skill can stay the hand of the Almighty? God therefore defeated the enterprise by a simple act which had in it, however, great consequences. Their language was confounded so that it became impossible for them to continue the work. The result of this simple act was the scattering of the people over all the earth. "So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city." Gen. 11:8. This was the beginning of nations and languages. Those who spoke a similar language congregated together and settled themselves in some particular territory; the children of each particular community or settlement speaking that particular language, thus forming a particular race, or nation. The offspring of Japheth congregated in Europe, as is stated in Gen. 10:5: "By these—the sons of Japheth—were the sons of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations." The term, "isles of the Gentiles," is understood to be an epithet for Europe. Ham's sons settled as was stated in the previous article in North Eastern Africa, including Canaan, which formed the sea-coast of Palestine. The sons of Shem settled in Asia. It is very evident, therefore, that nationality or race is merely a matter of accident, over which we have no control whatever. A Chinese or Japanese, or Negro, or Anglo-Saxon, is no more responsible for being such than the mighty Niagara is responsible for being in the United States instead of Germany. It is a very remarkable thing that although all the sons of Naoh were of one common parentage and therefore necessarily of the same complexion, that as a result of their occupying different portions of the earth, three particular hues of color characterize them today: yellow, black, and white. Scientists have endeavored to account for this strange occurrence in nature, and the only hypothesis that seems reasonable is that the hue of the human skin is the result of climatic influence. The hue of a man's skin, therefore, does not and cannot in the least way furnish any authority for superiority. If because a man's skin is white that fact determines his superiority over a black man or a yellow man, then a white idiot is superior to a black genius or a yellow adept. And not only so, but to carry the argument further, a black horse would be worth less than a white horse, even though he might be stronger and better trained, and rendered better service for his owner. A white piece of calico would be worth far more than a piece of fine, black broadcloth. We can see how ridiculous such an argument is on the very surface. What, then, is color? An accident in nature, so far as the created is concerned. Each branch of the human family has performed a specific mission in contributing to the world's general progress. In the history of nations we find two fundamental features in national life which have been the means whereby nations have been preserved. First, practical godliness through an acquaintance with Jehovah; second, through the establishment of civilization. Where neither of these exists, there we find partial or complete barbarism. At the time of the dispersion of Noah's posterity they were all backsliders and apostates. The knowledge and worship of Jebovah were perpetuated through the call of Abraham, who was a Semite, from his heathen kindred to settle in the land of Canaan. It is in Abraham that the Hebrew people or Jews have their origin. Through these people the knowledge of the true God has been handed down to men. Through them we receive the only perfect historical account of the origin of man, the creation of the world, the miraculous doings of Jebovah; His will and purpose concerning men; the wonderful plan for the redemption of man; the restoration of the earth to its Edenic splendor. And, greatest of all, the gift of the Messiah. To the Semitic branch of the human family, therefore, have been accorded the honor of transmitting to the world the knowledge and history of the Only True religion. Let us not despise the Jew, even though he has fallen by the way. He has been used to a great purpose by God. The apostles are Jewish; the greatest exponents, are religious. Jews—the patriarchs and prophets the apostles were Jews; Christ Himself was a Jew. Work, therefore, for the restoration of the Jew, not for his condemnation. Having it therefore plainly est, lished that the Jews were the disseminators of religious truth, the next question is: Who, or what branch of the human family, was the progenitor of civilization? This will be treated in the next article. --- LAKE FOREST, ILL. Lake Forest, Ill., July 18—The Rev. Stakes of the First Baptist Church breached two very excellent sermon. Sunday. On account of the threaten weather the attendance was small. The members and friends of the church are making preparations for the burning of the mortgage July 31, the debt being lifted, and everyone rejoicing. Plans are also under way for the erection of a new brick church. Mrs. Maggie Rice, who was taken to Chicago for an operation a few weeks ago, is reported much improved and expects to return home in a few days. Mrs. Washington Jordan, who met with an accident a few days ago by falling down a flight of stairs, is much better. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Odan and family from Benton Harbor, Mich., are in Lake Forest again for the season. Mr. C. M. Sloan and family motored from Lake Forest to Evanston last Sunday and had a very delightful trip. Mr. Sloan's father, who has been sick for some time, is a little better.

You are our only child and we expect you to be good," and he replied: "It is toigh on me to be good for a lot of brothers and sisters I haven't got!" Unreasonable.

OLD-TIMER RAISES A WAIL Defects of Rising Generation Pointed Out, as They Were Thousands of Years Ago. "In these days, an infuriated Mascourian writes, a thirty-cent boy starts out in the world with a $25 gun and a $50 dog to shoot a five-cent rabbit." You have seen the youngster, of course? His father used to wear trousers handed down from an older brother, and he was in luck if he got a new suit once in three years. Son has to have the latest cut in clothes, and last spring's suit would never do for this season. Father used to get up early and build the fires and help curry the horses and milk the cows and carry in the wood. Son would be insulted at the suggestion that he look after the furnace or mow the lawn. Father got a job in the summer vacation and worked his head off. Son expects to go camping in the summer, and it's much too hot for him to do anything except play tennis. Father got his spending money by earning it, and his Christmas presents were tippets and mittens that his mother knitted, and maybe a homemade sled. Son has an allowance, and his list of Christmas presents counts up in real money to a scandalous figure. Father made his success by being thrown on his own resources and being forced to hustle, says the Kansas City Star. He is doing everything possible to prevent son from making a success by coddling him and keeping him from developing any of the qualities that make a successful man. TO INDUCE PROPER SLUMBER A man should make his toilet as carefully for going to bed as for the business of the day. Certain physical things are conducive to sleep, such as plenty of sweet, outdoor air, the absence of noises, of lights and of bad odors, and above all a feeling of tiredness. There are also certain mental and spiritual preparations. To be intensely interested in anything is fatal to sleep; so also are the memory of a ranking failure, plan-making, problem-solving, apprehension, shame and remorse. The soul must take off its interestedness as the body must remove its vestments. Passions of any kind, craving and all heats are against sleep. One is very fortunate who has a habit of prayer, for there is nothing can still the soul like purging the conscience before God; and cares, pricking annoyances, dreads and all mental tensions can be remedied in no way more satisfactorily than by letting the consciousness of God was the soul. A sense of friendliness and peace toward the Infinite is the surest medicine for sleep. A. laurel wreath and a bald head like an unromantic combination. 一 Modern Conditions.

Many of the large ants are slaveholders, and curiously enough, the slaves are almost black! When a colony of ants requires slaves a regular army is formed, skirmishers are thrown out and scouts are sent ahead to discover a nest of black ants and look over the ground. The invading army is composed entirely of warrior ants, with powerful jaws, quite different from the common workers. When the nest of the intended victims is reached a fierce battle at once takes place and many are killed and wounded on both sides. The more powerful invaders are always victorious, however, and entering the nest of the vanquished blacks, they rob it of eggs and pupae, which they carry off to slavery in their own home. The returning victors are welcomed upon their arrival with various manifestations of joy, and the young of the defeated foes are taken within and carefully tended until fully grown. Strangely enough, the slaves thus obtained are willing and obliging servants, doing all the harder work of the community, even to feeding their captors. Indeed, some species of slave-holding ants are incapable of feeding themselves, and if it were not for their slaves they would die of starvation, even in the midst of plenty.—From "Book for Young Naturalists," by Alpheus Hyatt Verrill. GAVE FASHION A SETBACK English Woman Put Sudden End to Men's Idea of Bringing Back Side Whiskers. Woman's influence is still dominant in all well-regulated families. Not long ago a number of young Englishmen decided that the day of clean shaven man was over. They, accordingly, determined "to set an old fashion on new faces;" that is, to grow side whiskers like those still worn by English men servants. One husband went home to his wife, who had just returned from a visit to the country, quite unaware that she had heard of the new London fashion, and had planned a counter attack. He carefully arranged his pose for the entrance of his wife and alternately stroked his whiskers or smoothed his stock as he stood before the fire. His wife entered. She looked calmly at her husband. "James," she said, "your master has not arrived, I see. He is probably dining at the club. You may serve dinner at once." The husband had a sense of humor. He walked from the house without a word, called his whiskered allies together and told them the story. The next day West end barbers were kept busy. Serial stories can be taken out and bound. Any one who understands bookbinding can get really beautiful books in this way; but the woman who does not understand this art can cover pieces of pasteboard a little larger than the magazine page with cloth, carefully folded over and pasted down on the wrong side about the edges, the inside of the cover made neat by a square of cloth or paper pasted over the edges of the covering of the other side. Two of these covers, with half a dozen holes punched half an inch from the back edges can be fastened together over the story by means of silk cords run through neat corresponding holes in the pages of the story. Crisp Remarks from the Bench. "The law says a man can assign his business to his wife and live in idleness." observed Judge Cluer to a debtor at Whitechapel (London) county court, who repudiated a business debt, saying his wife owned the business. "I if I had my way," said his honor, "I would have a bill printed in big type and placed outside the shop staiting. 'I am dishonest; I won't pay. I am also an idle dog, and do nothing, and intend to live on my wife.' "In Rome it was the custom for a debtor to be handed over as a slave to his creditor and made to work." THE CHICAGO DEFENDER AT ALL "L" STATIONS Good Idea. THE CHICAGO DEPENDER BEAUTY OF PARIS French Metropolis a Wonderfully Interesting Place. its Millions of People, Picturesque Streets, Fine Old Houses of Many Perlods, and Marvelous Water Stretches Attractive. Paris,—"Tout Paris"—a very large order indeed! "All Paris," with its three millions of more or less happy inhabitants, its twenty thousand acres of beautiful and picturesque streets, lined with countless elegant apartments, fine old houses of all periods, beautiful gardens and wonderful water stretches, is a subject to hold one in a state of constant delight for days and months and occupy one's pen almost indefinitely. So wonderful and versatile is the interest of Paris that it is difficult to tell where to begin. To the traveler who begins at the grands boulevards, as most travelers do, Paris appears in its most characteristic modern atmosphere, a busy, speedy hum of morbid traffic, dashing and crossing and intersecting, constantly getting tangled at the crossings and as speedily (as if by miracle) disentangling—an artery of rapid transit flanked on each side by broad pavements lined with immense trees and walled at an always uniform height by tall apartments with beautiful iron ballustrades. Alternating shops and ca-festaurants constitute the ground floors of these buildings, and also, often, their other floors; large gilded signs appear through the tender green of April foliage; flaring posters bearing conventional ballet girls and Parisian rouses, announce the night's attractions at the playhouses, or sing the praise of a liquor or cordial. The center of all this activity, this rushing and whirling of taxi cabs and motor busses, this loudness of posters, this gaiety and insouciance of the boulevard is rightfully the place of the opera, surmounted by the opera itself, with its pale green bronze dome and wonderful columned facade, a wide expanse forever full of high speed traffic, from which radiate those famous streets, the Rue du 4 Septembre, the Avenue de l'Opéra and the Rue de la Paix, lined with elegant shops, perhaps the finest in the world, and certainly the most attractive. ly pursuing almost any of these attractive streets one comes presently Residence of President Polingare. to the banks of the Seine and find oneself in the midst of the world's acknowledged finest municipal landscape gardening—the Tuileries, extending from between the outstretched wings of the Louvre and continued beyond the Place de la Concorde (whose Egyptian obelisk is a veritable pivot of traffic) by the Champs Elysees, crowned by the great triumphal arch of Napoleon, beyond which lies the Bois de Boulogne. To the side is the broad Seine with its many bridges, its little waves splashing in the warm sun, its waters fringed with bathhouses and pliers, and people washing clothes and dogs with an almost equal amount of splashing, and here and there the little long, low omnibus steamers cleaving their way through the yellow-green water as they ply rapidly up or down stream betwixt Auteuil and Charenton. Up the river one sees the island of the Cite, the first and earliest Paris, with the peakal towers of the Concellergie, the spire of St. Chapelle and the gray twin towers of Notre Dame de Paris. KING PAID A "COMPLIMENT" Told That His Dog is More Beautiful Than He, and Far Younger, He Tips Girl. Geneva.—The king of Wurttemburg is taking his holiday this year in walking excursions. He goes quite alone, except for his favorite dog. He is staying at one of his country places near Friedrichsafen, on the other side of Lake Constance. He came over a day or two ago in the little tourist steamer to the Swiss shore at Rorschach. As a simple traveler he went into a bar and ordered a glass of beer. "You have a beautiful dog," said the Swiss waitress as she served him. "Yes, more beautiful than I am," replied the king. "That is true," said the girl, glancing at the king, "and certainly he is far younger. "You are perfectly right," replied the king. He drank his beer and laid a gold piece on the table. The girl ran after him down the stret, saying he had forgotten his change. "Oh, no," answered the king, "you are to keep the money as a souvenir of the king of Wurtemburg, to whom you have paid an unacustomed compliment of gingerly." Short Sentence for Murder SMALL CONFENCE FOR MURDER. Nashville, Tennessee. Tenn.-Five days in jail for slaying her sweetheart, Charles Cobb, was the sentence imposed upon Mrs. Anna Dotson who the jury returned a verdict of "involuntary manslaughter." Dr. Walter Dotson, her husband, is prominent here. Famous Treaty Between United States and England in 1814. Signed in London in 1814. Ghent.—Of all the old world towns of continental Europe, none is more hallowed by historic associations than the history-making, gray old city of Ghent—midway between the Belgian capital and Bruges. Here, the magnificent World exhibition, which will continue throughout the summer months, has just been opened by Albert, king of the Belgians. We call the million visitors who are expected to visit the city this year, none perhaps will feel immature interest than those from Great Britain and America—for here in 1814 was signed the famous treaty which gave to the United States and Canada Courts of Justice, Ghent. a hundred years of peaceful intercourse. The historic spot—51 Rue des Champs, where stood the original building, the famous "Champs hotel," wherein negotiations took place, is now occupied by a large and very up-to-date shop. Time was when Ghent rived Vence in romantic interest. Made great by wars in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; "la ville de Flore," as she was then known, was queen of northern Europe. The Whitehoods of Ghent had been strong into battle. Emperor Charles II, of Willem kruke repute, had no prouder possession of Francis I of France, made a bonet on one he could set Paris down in the midst of Ghent. The old town gave to England John of Gaunt, "time-honored Lancaster." Though her historical greatness is gone, Ghent has lost none of her romantic charm. A score of fine century-old towers stand witness to past fame. The music of her chiming bolts, the silent rivers and canals are undisturbed by the hum and bustle of modern commerce. Wonderfully preserved are her ancient monuments, public buildings, churches and castles. Rivers and canals cut the city up into 13 different 'lands', and no less than 65 bridges span her waters. Standing at the confluence of the Lay and Scheldt, encircled by gardens of light, vart-colored flowers, Ghent is a marvelly picturequease 'spot'. She trades in cotton and linen goods; has huge engineering wares and does business in coal, timber and phonates. Up her canals from the sea, alone come yearly a million tons of merchandise. While a considerable portion of the town is modern, much remains to recall the days when Burgundy and Fle-ders were proud to have the allegiance of this "great, prosperous, and almost independent" city. BOY, PINIONED, SURVIVES TIDE Youth is Saved From Death After Long Battle With Water in West River. New Haven, Conn.-John Goglik, aged 15, stared death in the face for four hours in an unusual battle with the swift incoming tide in West river. While swimming his leg was caught in one of the great tide gates that prevent the water from overflowing the meadows and efforts to release them were unavailing. The fire and police departments were called out and a lighthouse gathered. A rubber tube was inserted in the boy's mouth, as the water passed over his head, so that he might breathe. A trolley wrecker succeeded in smashing one of the tide gates, allowing the water to rush over the meadows, so that the boy's head was again out of water. Then the gate was forced enough to release his leg. Goglik collapsed after being rescued. Despite the great pressure on his leg it was not broken. SERPENT ROAMS TWO DAYS Eight-Foot Rattler Finally Captured in Balliile Street After Long Search. Hamilton, Ont.—A rattlesnake, eight feet long, was captured in Balliile street here by a man named Miseer, who had considerable trouble in securing the reptile. The snake, which had been astray for two days, was one of a pair belonging to Mao McCarthy and Mrs. McCarthy, who came here some time ago ostensibly from Toledo, O. and have been dispensing rattlesnake oil from a stand in the Market square. Thorough searching by the owners and the police failed to reveal the snake's whereabouts, and the owner offered a reward for its recovery. STRANGE PARTS OF THE SEA Submarine Earthquakes Are Said to Cause Mysterious Shocks to the Waters. New Orleans, La.—Mariners say that in the midst of the Atlantic, about where the twenty-fifth meridian west from Greenwich crosses the equator, there lies a region of mystery. It is here that ships take from Madeira to Brazil. Only within the last half century has it been sounded and its strange phenomena reported. One investigator declared that he saw the sea about half a mile from his vessel suddenly disturbed. For about two minutes it boiled up violently as from a subterranean spring.
